Good morning, Minnesota. We are live here. It is I think it's about 215 PM Central time and we gave you some time to get on and I had to shift through some articles here and got through them. Praise the lord and uh now, I think I know what I'm going to talk about about this subject anyway but really, you know, uh we'll get into that in a few I did a lot of studying this weekend. We recorded some footage for a video that we're going to release coming up here very soon. And, uh, we're going to release that, uh, for our trip. And we've got a lot to do to, you know, kind of get that moving along here. So you pray for us as we do that. Looks like we've got like 16 on YouTube over here. We've got about 22 over here on. Rumble and all that good stuff here. And I don't know what's on sermon audio. I'll have to look and see. This broadcaster is online. Hey, that's me. Hey, stop that. You're not supposed to talk. Okay. There's six people over there. All right. Well, let's just hope and pray that some more folks come along here and I'll tell you changing it up. I have some people on YouTube now. I have some people on sermon audio now, and I have some people on, um, rumble and usually the rumble crowd is a little bit better, but we'll see, boy, I'll tell you it's, uh, anyway. Well, praise the Lord. We had another thousand dollars come in, uh, this weekend, uh, that we use, we were able to use specifically for the, uh, for the trip, you know, there wasn't anything designated for anything, but I just use that for that. And I try to get some money made other ways so I can pay for my normal bills that come due. And the Lord is providing all that stuff. So we praise the Lord for that, but we're definitely able to pay quite a bit on that. So we probably have 500 left over that needs paid for right now, something around there. And then we also have new expenses coming because I've got to get Bristol and then Scotland taken care of. So we have more bills coming for all that stuff and travel expenses and food and all that kind of stuff. But we've got a few months to go here and we know the Lord will provide all those things, but we just have to continue to pray and ask God to meet our needs, which I count it as like a miracle that You know. I'll have paid 6,500 by the grace of God and by the giving of the money that's come in through our church and through you folks online to be able to pay off like $6,500 worth of debt there for this trip. And let me tell you something. Last night, I started reading. I couldn't wait to get this certain book that I got. So I found it online and I, because it just hasn't come in yet. Scott's been trying to get it printed for me and it just hasn't come in yet, which is okay. So I started reading it online and it's good. It, it, it affected me greatly. So, uh, anyway, I, I knew I was going to start crying when I started reading it. I just knew I was gonna, and I did just that when I was sitting there, uh, it was about 1130 at night and I was finishing up and getting ready to go to bed. And I started reading it to Mandy and, and, um, yeah, anyway, so it was good, but, uh, so. Anyway, I'm looking forward to getting everything nailed down here and I'm gonna finish up, you know, I Getting England kind of nailed down. We got to go to Bristol and Then I've got to get with brother Ross and figure out what in the world we're doing in Scotland All that stuff man, I found the funniest video Actually, I didn't find it. Andrew found it. Oh my goodness. It. I was in Scotland two years ago and we were in Scotland almost two years ago. I was with Carl and Mary and, and, uh, Andrew and, and We're up in the meeting house where Ross and his church meets there. And those guys meet there and we're up in the upper room because they're having a communion service and I hold the closed communion. So I can't partake in communion with anybody else, any other church besides Old Past Baptist Church. And that's something that we hold to as a church. So I, it doesn't, if I was visiting somebody, I would not observe communion with, I would not partake in communion, the Lord's supper with them. We don't, I just don't do that. Uh, I don't believe, I believe it's an authority issue. I believe it's, you know, clear in scripture. So. I'm pretty dogmatic about that. I would say I'm pretty scriptural about it, actually. And it's no offense to anybody else. It's our conviction, it's our church, and that's what we hold to. So we don't take the Lord's Supper with any other group, any other people, besides our own church. Well, anyway, and they weren't offended by that at all. They were very kind about that. And they provided us a room upstairs, you know, just to kind of, um, fellowship in and talk, you know, we could talk to each other and, and, and things, but before the, before I preached and, oh man, I must've been really tired. I started doing, I, Andrew recorded this. We were going to send a message out to everybody, but we couldn't get a signal when we were stuck in that upper room up there. We couldn't get a signal out to anybody. So Andrew was recording me and I was, I was doing it in an Irish accent. I'm telling you, it's funny. It is very funny. I watched it so many times. On Friday, I was over to Andrew's house and he found that. I forgot I even did it. And I'm looking over at Mary and Mary is just like busting out laughing over there in the corner. I was trying to be quiet so I didn't interrupt them and I was like, shh. Anyway, it had to be the funniest clip I have seen in a long time. And yeah, so anyway, I watched it and I was like, man, I'm going to have to, I have it. I should, I should play it. But if I do, they may not let me back in Scotland. They may not let me back. They may not let me back in Scotland if I do that. Ross won't give me a ride. He'll leave me strand or he'll leave me stranded in Scotland He'll be like you're stranded Okay. He said I'd always be welcome. All right. Oh, all right. Let me see. I don't. All right. Let me see here. Oh, is it fun? Now it's funny to me. I mean, I, I couldn't stop laughing. Okay, so for only $19.99, for only $19.99, you could see this clip. All right, hopefully I got enough volume here. Maybe it'll be, hopefully it'll be loud enough. All right. Ready? Yep. All right. This is Pastor Kool-Aid, OPBC Online, a ministry of Old Baptist Church, and we are up in the attic of... of the... We can do this later. Anyway, we're up here waiting before the preaching. They're having another service down there, but it's for their local assembly here. Anyway, but we are just kind of waiting up here, and I'll be preaching here pretty soon. Are you still recording me? Why don't you stop it? Okay, let me see if I can do it. Let's see Although it's Irish not Scottish just to be clear because it's too soft to be Scottish. All right, so it's actually Irish Because the Scots are a lot harder and I got to listen to I have to listen to I to Ross more to get his accent down, but I will, I have videos. Anyway, okay. So here we go. All right. I can't believe it. What am I doing here? I'm stuck up in this sweat box. They're not letting me go. Must be because I'm a Baptist. Christ congregational? I don't know. I don't even know how I got here. I think me brain's is screwed. They locked me in this upper room. They said something about the London Tower. We're going to send Paul on a recount mission. Come and get us. I've got to play this again. All right. One more time. All right. Now keep in mind, this is me jet lagged completely and like out my brains out of it. So I was kind of doing a spoof, but anyway, I was having a lot of fun, but I was watching Mary. Ready? All right. This is Pastor Kool-Aid, OPBC Online, a ministry of Old Baptist Church, and we are up in the attic of the... Remember, I'm trying to be quiet because they're having a serious service down there. And they're like, oh, here, Pastor Cooley, just come upstairs. You can sit up there and we'll let you, we'll let y'all. And they're all serious. Okay. Cause like these, these, these people are serious and I, I'm a goofball kind of. So you're putting this American dude and you're, you're giving me an opportunity. You're like, stick. you stick me up in this attic. You're like, okay, go on up here for a while. Like, okay, cool. I'll come up here. I go up there and again, I'm jet lagged. I'm tired. My brains are goofy. And I have Carl and Mary with me. And Andrew's like, Hey, say something on the, just say something on the camera. I'm like, oh, okay. And anyway, we're up here waiting before the preaching. They're having another service down there, but it's for their local assembly here. So anyway, but we are just kind of waiting up here and I'll be preaching here pretty soon. Did it go through? Are you still recording me? Why don't you stop it? Okay, let me see if I can do it. I can't believe it. What am I doing here? I'm stuck up in this sweat box. They're not letting me go. Must be because I'm a Baptist. Christ congregational? I don't know. I don't even know how I got here. I think me brain's is scrambled. They locked me in this upper room. They said something about the London Tower. We're gonna send Paul on a recon mission. All right. Anyway, I don't know if you had fun, but I had a lot of fun and I look, you can't lock me in a room with Carl, with Carl up in an upper room with Carl like that with Mr. With Mr. Oversized sweat pants, not to mention it's early in the morning. And like, for me, it's super early. Cause remember I'm still on Minnesota time. So my brains at that point, My brains at that point are completely like gone. And, uh, anyway, I just had a lot of fun, but I always have a lot of fun wherever I go. That's why nobody wants me to come back. Cause I always have fun, but they, but I don't think, I don't know if everybody else always has fun, but I always have a lot of fun. for the most part, wherever I go and whatever I do, I'm always having fun. And yes, sometimes it's at the expense of others. That's, that's for sure. It is. There are times that it is, but, uh, anyway, uh, but, oh man, I don't know why that made me laugh so hard when I first, when I first heard that. And I was sitting, I was sitting at Andrews. I might've been having an upper, I might've been having a Pentecostal experience in that Upper Rune mountain bike. I might've been. I, I just might've, Mary, those sounds that Mary was making over the ride to me, it sounded like she was definitely having one. But anyway, we, we, it is Ross. It is hot up there. I don't know why it's, it is hot up there though. I just remember that. I was like, anyway, but I enjoyed my time in Scotland because I thought after all, if I could be an American with an Irish accent in the upper room of a Scottish church, you could be anywhere in this world, right? I mean, that's just the plain facts of it all, isn't it? You could absolutely be anywhere. So that was funny. Yeah. I did make a joke about your sweatpants at the end of that. Did you remember that? Mary was in the background trying, she actually was trying not to laugh. She's like half Scottish. Joe says half Scottish, half Irish. All right, I'll work on it. I'll have to work on my accents. He said it's, it's half Scottish, half, half, uh, Half Irish. All right, I'll work on it, okay? I'll get better at it. I just have to, I have to be around you long enough. So here's what I think. I'm going to be around Ross for about 10 days. And because of that, I'm definitely going to be able to pick up Ross's accent because every time he talks, my mind's going to be like a tape recorder. And my mind is literally going to record the way Ross talks. I'm going to be like, oh yeah, I got that. So the longer I'm with him, the more I'm going to be able to talk like him. I'll get it down. It'll just take a little while and I don't have to change my voice that much. So I'll be able to do it because it's kind of gruffer. Like he said, it sounds like they're gargling glass. So yeah, that'll work. I, I, I'm confident that I will be able to pick it up. I thought it was a good attempt. Mary, didn't you think it sounded really authentically Irish, not really so much Scottish? I thought it was fine. Every time I did that though, I'd look over at Mary like we'd be at an airport or something and I would do it or we'd be driving down the road and every time I would look over at Mary, she would be just dying laughing over in the corner. We had so many funny times when we were cruising around Europe. I mean, it was funny. Now, it wasn't very funny when Carl burped in that poor British lady's face. That wasn't funny at all. He burped in that British lady's face. That wasn't, that wasn't nice. She looked at him like he was some kind of barbarian. That's how she looked at him. She's like, what? Or, or I have a question for you, Carl. Do you remember the time that I insulted the entire British museum? by my reenactment of the British losing to the US, to America, do you remember that? Right, do you remember when I insulted the entire British, the British people? I remember that. I remember being, remember when I did the reenactment? Remember that in the museum and I was like the only loud American talking all the way through the museum and they could hear me. Yeah, that was cool. I remember that. I'm telling you, I'm telling you, even Hari was over there, you Americans. And I just kept looking like, don't you forget Hari, we won. Don't you forget. And I'm in the museum reenacting. I was like, that was the dumbest thing ever. What they do that for? People are looking around at us. But I'm not going back to England to insult anyone, I promise. Nor the British, nor the English, nor the Scottish. I did it at the London Tower too. Hey, remember that time that guard wanted to run me over when he was guarding the crown jewels? Yeah, that was cool. Remember that? He was standing there and I was like right in his way. And Harry's looking at me like, get out of his way. I was like, oh. Yeah, that was cool. Look, I didn't know what I was doing. Was that the Tower of, oh, that was the Tower of London Museum. Yeah, anyway. Good times, good times. There are a lot of blooper reels. But if I show them to you, you probably won't like me anymore. So we'll show you a picture of the Pope because that'll make you like me a lot more. I'm sure of it. I do remember that Ghani geese. I do remember that. Look, I can't really say that though. I feel like I'm saying Ghani or the geese. And I just want to look at it and be like, well, where'd the geese go? Why do you keep saying that? I couldn't even understand them when they were all talking. You know what? Andrew recorded all of those Scots talking at the table because I couldn't understand a thing any of them were saying. I didn't even understand anything they were saying. They were all talking to each other and I didn't understand anything. Couldn't figure out a thing they were saying. Anyway, I don't know what it is. Don't ask me what a Ghani geese is. I don't know. I've never seen one. I'd probably eat one though in my smoker if I caught one. I just want to hear him and Claire talk to each other. That's all I want to hear. You know what's a pretty amazing feat? that I had never met Claire ever a day in my life or any other Scottish woman for that matter. And I really had all the way across the world in Scotland, a Scottish lady that was crossed with me. Isn't that amazing? Isn't that amazing? She was cross with me. She's not now, but she was then. Now that's pretty amazing when you can make a woman mad at you that you ain't never met before. Here's what it makes me wonder. How many women are mad at me around the world right now? Could you imagine? Like think about that. How many women are mad at me right now around the world? That's a lot of women. You know something, Ross? Some of the people that love me the most now used to hate my guts. Yeah. True, true story. All of them. That's a lot of women. It's kind of a... It's kind of a gift, you know? Kind is. Right? Right, Fabian? That's kind of a gift, isn't it? Okay. All right. Now we are going to talk about these five portals. These five holy doors. Rachel Bicey says the half has never been told. This is true. All right, turn to Isaiah 14. Okay. These five doors, right? How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning? How art thou cut down to the ground which did weaken the nations? For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God, I will sit upon the mount of the congregation in the sides of the north, I will ascend above the heights of the clouds, I will be like the Most High. Five. Five things, five doors. Right? There are five doors. Now, honestly, without getting into a ton of spooky things, which really isn't necessary. Here's why. You don't really need to get into a bunch of occultic things and here's why. Okay. Because there's enough going on right before your eyes that will show you exactly what this is. It is satanic to the core. It is antichrist to the core, right? So let's read about it first. Pope Francis is preparing to unbrick and open five sacred portals. symbolizing the doorway to salvation. None of those symbolize Christ. None of those do. The doors have not been opened for 25 years since the turn of the millennium, so may well be a little rusty. This year, for the first time, one of the doors will be opened in prison, in a prison, as a sign of inviting prisoners to look into the future with hope. Right? What's that all about? Well, I'm gonna show you what it's about, but The tradition dates back to 1300. By the way, let's stop there for a second. 1300? Yeah. In 1300, right? The Jesuits are masters. The Roman Catholics, the Roman Catholic papacy, they are masters of numbers. I realized the Jesuit order wasn't in 1300. The Franciscans, all these other groups, there's tons of them. But anyway, doesn't matter. The Roman Catholic papacy. The papacy was there. Okay. 1,300. Five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10, 11, 12, 13. Look. Revelation 17 5 and upon her forehead was a name written mystery Babylon the great the mother of harlots and abominations of the earth 13 words 1300 And the door opening themselves follow a ritual first carried out in 1423 they marked Jubilee years Now they call it a concept dating back to the Old Testament, but see Roman Catholicism is Antichrist. It takes Old Testament rites and applies it to the New Testament church. And that's what they're doing here. That's the mystery, Babylon. The great, the mother of harlots, that's Rome. Rome is the mother of harlots. Rome is the occult. It is not a cult, it is the occult. It is the master, the mother of harlots. and the abominations of the earth, okay? It's Rome. This is all like right in front of your face, okay? Is what this is. This is what they do. This is their work. Okay. So 1423, they mark jubilee years, a concept dating back to, this is what's dangerous about Rome. They go back and they take some Old Testament principles and apply it to the New Testament. What are they doing? They're dragging you into the law. They're dragging you to the law. back to types and shadows. Same thing the Hebrew Reuter tutors do. It's what they do. Where are the sacred portals? St. Peter's Basilica in the Vatican, of course. What is it a portal to? Hell. They are five doors that lead to hell. They're five doors that damn. It's what they are. They're in St. Peter's Basilica in the Vatican, St. John's Ladder in Rome, St. Mary Major in Rome, St. Paul outside of the walls in Rome, and Rebbebia prison in Rome. The doors of the basilica have been bricked up from the inside. The walls will be taken down before the Pope walks through them to symbolize the beginning of the holy year. It is the habitation of devils. Amen. The door will remain open. The doors will remain open all year for pilgrims to pass through until the Jubilee finishes on January. Yeah, 6th, 2026. The Pope will then be the last person to walk back through before closing them. Why? Well, he's pretending to be God. He's sitting in the temple of God saying he is God. Figuratively, he's saying he's God, that he is the door. But it is important to understand what the history of this is. So let's look at, we're gonna go to Strong's McClintock, or McClintock and Strong's. and read about this Jubilee year. That's the year, in the Old Testament, the Jubilee was like every seven years that they would be freed from their debts. Well, that didn't have anything to do with sin. It had to do with money and debt and what you owed and everything else. Correct, Joe. He holds the temporal power and the spiritual power is what he believes. He believes that he controls that, that he holds the key, the keys, St. Peter's keys. When you go over to the Vatican, I've been there. When you walk through the Vatican, you see the two keys everywhere, right? The two keys are everywhere. Are they not, Carl? When we walk through the Vatican, everywhere, Andrew can attest to this too, and so can Mary. Everywhere we walked, you saw the two keys, and they were everywhere, symbolizing the power that he says he has the power of the keys. Right? Right on their flag, that's correct. So a Jubilee or Jubilee year, let's look at the history of this so we understand what's going on here. Because it's much more simple than it is mystic. It's much more simplistic. And you can see the practical aspects before you have to worry about any of the secret satanic, it's all satanic, but it's all right in your face. It's all in your face. And it's work salvation. It's a false gospel, a false Messiah. Jubilee or Jubilee year, an institution of the Roman Catholic Church, the name which is borrowed from that of the old, that of the Jewish Jubilee. The Catholic Jubilee is of two kinds, ordinary and extraordinary. The ordinary Jubilee is that which is celebrated as stated intervals, the length of which has varied at different times. Its origin is traced to Pope Boniface. Oh, remember him? Remember Boniface? Oh, we like talking about Boniface, don't we? Pope Boniface VIII, who issued for the year 1300 a bull, granting a plenary indulgence. Look now. See, this is the problem, friend. Walking through physical doors or spiritual ones that are not Christ. There's only one door Jesus said I am the door Yeah, Carl got me those keys I have those from the from the Vatican from a vendor You're gonna see a term here that's very important plenary indulgence to all pilgrim visitors of Rome during that year on condition of their penitential confessing their sins and visiting the Church of St. Peter and St. Paul 15 times if strangers and 30 times if residents of the city. Wait a minute. What are plenary indulgences? Let's go to that. Indulgence is the name of a peculiar institution in the Roman Church. The doctrine of indulgence in its most plausible form is stated by a Romanist writer as follows, it is releasing by the power of the keys committed to the church the debt of temporal punishment which may remain due upon account of our sins after the sins themselves. As to the guilt and eternal punishment have been already remitted by repentance and confession, the doctrine and practice of indulgences consists the very center of the hierarchical theory of Romanism, and was probably for that very reason the first object of attack on the part of Luther in the beginning of the Reformation. See, indulgences, indulgences to sin, which they deny, but that's exactly what it is, and indulgences from the penalty of their sin. See, in the Crusades, they offered the soldiers, if they would go take the Holy Land, they would be given indulgences. They would be given indulgences for killing the Albigenzis, for killing, they wiped out a whole town of Albigenzis, Baptist and Catholics. They killed them all. They went over to the Crusades and killed all the Muslims and they got indulgences for doing so. Free ticket to heaven, free forgiveness of sins. Their past sins wiped away by the Pope. So if that was the case, that would make a man kill somebody. Yeah. See, work salvation kills. Work salvation kills. And the Pope teaches work salvation because he's a devil. And Matthew 16, 18, you're a devil. You man that's on there, whoever you are, you are a devil promoting Roman Catholicism. You are accursed. You are preaching another gospel. and you are accursed. And so say I now again, if any man preach any other gospel than that which you have received, let him be accursed. You are accursed. I understand full well. Luther understood it full well. That's why Luther rebelled against the Pope. The origin of the system, the early church knew nothing of indulgences. The system seems to have originated in that of penance, which in the hands of the episcopacy began to assume a corrupt form in the third century. The immediate object of penance was to restore an offender, not to communion with God, but to the communion of the church. When an excommunicated person sought readmission, the bishop assigned him a penitential discipline of abstinence. mortification and good works, after which he was taken back into fellowship by certain regular modes of procedure. The bishop had the power to abridge the period of probation or to mitigate the severity of the penance. The Bible doesn't speak of penance, it speaks of repentance. Penance is Roman Catholics earning their salvation, earning forgiveness. In the course of time, penitential discipline came to be applied not merely to excommunicated persons, but to all delinquents within the pale of the church. And penance came at last in the hands of the schoolmen to be a sacrament with its systematic theory nicely fitting into the hierarchical system of which, in fact, it became the very keystone. Nothing could so surely augment the power of the priesthood as the right of fixing penalties for sin and making terms of forgiveness. Just as in the early times the penances of the excommunicated were frequently mitigated, Permission was given to exchange in the course of the Middle Ages and analogous mitigation was introduced with reference to the works of penance to which delinquents were subjected. Permission was given to exchange a more severe for a gentle kind of penance. Sometimes in place of doing penance himself, the party was allowed to employ a substitute, and sometimes in fine, instead of the actual penance prescribed, some service conducive to the interests of the Church and the glory of God was accepted. This last was the real basis of indulgence. Even here, however, the process was gradual. At first, only personal acts performed for the church were admitted. Then peculiar gifts became more and more common until at last the matter assumed the shape of a mere money speculation. It was a money-making scheme. And it fleeced the flock of God. And it was a bunch of Nicolaitans. And they were killing people. They were murdering them. And they would pay for murder through these acts of indulgences. They would forgive sins and the price of sins. And men were murdered because of it. Then pecuniary gifts became more and more common until at last the matter assumed the shape of mere money speculation. Initiatively, the abuse grew up in practice. Then came scholaticism, and furnished it with theoretical substratum. And not until the institution thus received an ecclesiastical and scientific basis was a method of practice introduced which overstepped all limits. The first powerful impulse to the introduction of indulgences, properly so-called was given by the Crusades of the great Synod of Clermont in 1096. Urban II there promised to all who took part in the Crusade, which he proposed as a highly meritous ecclesiastical work, plenary indulgences. And from that day for a period of 200 years, this grace of the church continued one of the most powerful means for renewing and enlivening these expeditions. Although it was evident Two unprejudiced contemporaries at the adventures when they crossed the ocean did not undergo a change of character with the change of climate. The same favor was ere long extended to the military expeditions set on foot against the heretics in Europe and at last by bony face in 1300 of the year of the Roman Jubilee. Subsequently to that date, several monastic orders and holy places likewise received from the successive popes special privileges in the matters of indulgence." They were murdering people. They were paying for murder. World leaders, kings would slay The Duke of Savoy, men like that would slay Waldensys. Why would they slay Waldensys? For indulgences, for their sins. See, they would get caught, they would confess to a confessor, a Roman Catholic confessor of their adultery and their fornication. And they would say, well, to get you out of purgatory, to get you out of purgatory, We must. You must. You must put an edict on the Waldensys. You must put an edict on these people, on these Albigensys. You must root out the Waldensys. You must root out the Albigensys. You must root out all of these people, the Patricians, the Novatians, any one of them, whatever groups they are. You must root them out of your land. You must steal their property. You must kill their children if they will not repent. You must banish them from their properties. They were given special indulgences. The priests were given special powers through that to forgive sins. And then some little puke, some little puke comes on my broadcast. some little puke comes on here and you're going to try to erase 1,500 years of history of abuse from the Roman Catholic Church and a thousand years of indulgences and you think I'm going to fall for it? You think I'm stupid because you fell for their witchcraft? You think I'm going to fall for their witchcraft? for their five doors? Because you fell for it? I've got the Holy Ghost of God. I have the Word of God, the King James Bible. Salvation is of the Lord. It's not found in a dope called the Pope. It's not found in a priest. It's found in Christ Jesus, the high priest that can be touched with the feeling of our infirmities, who is in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. Salvation is of the Lord. It is repentance toward God and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ. The scholastic doctrines of indulgence, doctor of indulgence, the practice of indulgence has been going on for some time when the scholastic theologians took it up and formed a speculative theory to justify it. Look at the three great men that contributed to this task. Alexander de Hallas, Albertus Magnus, and oh, the arch heretic, devil murdering man of them all, Thomas Aquinas. You wanna talk about, you wanna know where psychology come from? Listen, I've never even touched the tip of the iceberg of psychology yet. You go listen to my, I hope you're listening to my sermons on psychology, because some of you have been affected by psychology, and you want your butts powdered straight into hell, and I'm not gonna do it. But let me tell you, you understand where it came from? Well, there's a good man where it came, not good man, but you know what I mean, a good candidate, Thomas Aquinas. There's your psychology. You're going to find out the men that produce Freud, because I'm going to tell you who they are. The men that produce these, it's a Jesuit maxim. Anyway, moving right along. Thomas Aquinas, Alexander de Hales, laid a firm foundation for the theory and the doctrine, first fairly propounded by him of the treasure of the church. It runs as follows. By the way, I'm just giving you historical fact. This is historical fact. It's not debatable. It's what happened. It's what happened. Right? So it's not like it's like, oh, there's a big debate here. No, there's not. It's what they did. Okay, the sufferings and death of Christ not only made a sufficient satisfaction for the sins of men, but also acquired a superabundance of merit. This superfluous merit of Christ is conjoined with that of the martyrs and saints, which is similar in kind, though smaller in degree, for they likewise performed more than the divine law required of them. The sum of these supererogatory merits and good works forms a vast treasure, which is disenjoyed from the persons who want to perform them, exists objectively, and having been accumulated by the head and members of the church, and intended by them for its use, belongs to the church. It is necessarily placed under the administration of its representatives, especially the Pope, who is the Supreme." What is he saying? He's saying, well, because all those martyrs died, and mix in Jesus, because he needed the martyrs' help, so you mix in those, and the church fathers died, and all these men died, and like there's enough there's enough anointing going around there's so much anointing in this room you can't handle that anointing in this room okay so the anointing is oozing he's saying and because the anointing is oozing there's enough forgiveness like floating around in the air that the Pope can just like, ex cathedra, he can just announce forgiveness and so can the priests announce forgiveness on people and that releases them from any temporal or any consequences for any of their actions. He can give those plenary indulgences, okay? Because the anointing is just floating around. There's just too much anointing floating around, okay? So because there's enough forgiveness, because that much anointing's floating around, right? It's like crazy anointing going on here, okay? And it pays really well, right? If you open it up, it is gonna ooze, that's right. Okay. The sufferings and, okay, so anyway, moving right along here. It is therefore competent for the Pope, according to the measure of his insight at the time, to draw from this treasure and bestow upon those who have no merit of their own such supplies of it as they require. Indulgences and remissions are made from the supererogatory merits of Christ's members, but most of all from the superabundance of Christ's own, the two constituting the church's spiritual treasure. So he's saying the church has a bunch of spiritual treasure, treasured up in the martyrs and the Pope, and we're just, look, we're just spreading some treasure around here. Man, it's, we open it up, it's gonna ooze. It's just oozing out treasure everywhere. So if you go kill somebody, we got enough treasure for you over there, we could just... Is any of that in the Bible? Of course not. The Bible says the blood of Jesus cleanses from all sin. It also says that if any man be in Christ, he's a new creature, old things are passed away, behold, all things are become new. He's not gonna live his life the same as he did when he was a lost heathen, right? But if you need an army for hire of murderers, like the Pope does, and did, and has, then you got to offer indulgences of forgiveness. Right? Hey, Brother Shane. Praise the Lord. Appreciate you, man. So he says here, the administration of this treasure does not pertain to all, but to those only who occupy Christ's place, the bishops. As regard to the extent of indulgence, Alexander is of opinion that it reaches even to the souls in purgatory. Wait a minute, there is no purgatory. Right, precisely, they made it up. Under the condition, as regards to the extent of indulgence, Alexander is of the opinion that it reaches even to the souls in purgatory. Under the condition, however, that there shall be the power of the keys in the party who dispenses it, faith, love, and devotion in the party to whom it is dispensed, and a competent reason and a proper relation between the two. He does not, however, suppose that in such cases, indulgence is granted in the way of judicial absolution or barter, but in that of intercession. You're a liar. He's lying. They are bartering. That's why he made a deal with the devil. That's why bony face and the others made a deal. That's why all the people, the people seat made a deal. Look, we need our temple built over there in Jerusalem. So go kill the Muslims and you'll be absolved. That's what these five doors are about. That's what these five doors are about. Hey, if we don't finish this by chance, we'll pick it up again on Wednesday because everybody loves a sequel. We haven't even got back to, look, check this out. So we're still talking about indulgences. Nope, that's not the one. Nope, that's not the one. That's the one. We haven't got back to that yet. Great Scott. No offense to the Scots. The next great theologian, Albert the Great, 1280. Adopting the opinions of his predecessor designates indulgence the remission of some imposed punishment or penance, proceeding from the power of the keys and the treasure of the superfluous merits of the perfect. With respect to the efficacy of indulgence, Albert proposes to steer a middle course between the two extremes. Some, he says, imagine that indulgence has no efficacy at all and is merely a pious fraud. That would be me. I would say it has no merit and it is a pious fraud. That would be me. I raise my hand and say that, emphatically, that it is a pious fraud. It is a fraud. Indulgences are a fraud. Yes, I agree. That's me. Albert proposes to steer a middle course between the two extremes. By which men are enticed to the performance of... He says here, some, he says, imagine that indulgence has no efficacy at all and is merely a pious fraud. By which men are enticed to the performance of good works, such as pilgrimage and almsgiving. Stop. That's exactly what they did. That's exactly what they do. You'll see in the article tomorrow, or Wednesday that is, you will see in that article that one million people showed up in Rome for indulgences. That's a lot of people. It was for pilgrimage and almsgiving. Yes, to fill the Vatican's coffin. Coffer, sorry. Coffer, not coffin. Well, sort of. Both, actually. Anyway, moving on. These, however, reduce the action of the church to child's play and fall into heresy. Right, I agree with that. I believe it's child's play. They use these indulgences to control kings. In fact, who can help but remember? Wasn't it Wycliffe? I always get these two confused. Not Wycliffe. Tyndale was burned. Was he not? No, John Huss was burned. Huss was burned when he was supposed to be protected. And he was not protected because the Pope threatened excommunication from the church if he did not put Huss on trial and have him killed. which means that salvation is controlled by a man's hand. And God Almighty, in His Word, would never leave salvation up to a man, besides the man Christ Jesus, who is both King and Lord, who is both God manifest in the flesh, fully God, fully man. Others, carrying the contrary opinion further than is necessary, assert that an indulgence at once and unconditionally accomplishes all that is expressed in it, and thus make the divine mercy diminish the fear of judgment. The true medium is that indulgence has the precise amount of efficacy which the church assigns to it. Right. Smashing. What exactly does that mean? We have no idea. whatever they want it to mean. Why? Because when you leave the Bible as the standard, the final authority of faith and practice, then you can make up anything you want. You see, the Roman Catholic papacy called the King James Bible the paper Pope. No, no, no. It's the final authority. At Old Past Baptist Church, the church is not the final authority. The pastor is not the final authority. The scriptures, the King James Bible is the final authority. David Klein asks an important question. How does anybody fall for this scam? Answer, many of them did not have the scriptures in their native tongue. They could not read the scriptures for themselves. So they were duped. They were deceived. That's why. That's why the Pope sent all the forces of hell against men like Tyndale, against men like Wycliffe, against the Lawlords, against translators of the scriptures. Because, against Luther. Because Luther not only freed Germany, but Austria and all other nations over there, they had the, because they got the scriptures in their own tongue, it freed those men from the tyranny of the Pope. The scriptures, translated, freed men from the power of the Pope. It broke the power of the Pope. It broke the temporal power of the Pope. I don't know about you, but I'm really enjoying this. I don't know why. I just am. I'm really, it seems very informative to me. It's very historic. It's very biblical. It's very, very informative and it's very historical. Okay. Moving right along to Thomas Aquinas. That wicked devil. Right. Thomas Aquinas deduced the efficacy of indulgence directly from Christ. The history of the adulterous shows, he says, that it is in Christ's power to remit the penalty of sin without satisfaction. And so could Paul. And so also can the Pope, whose power in the church is not inferior to Paul's. Besides, the church's general is infallible, and as it sanctions and practices indulgence, indulgence must be valid. What is that? Poppycock! Garbage. Rubbish, as my English friends would say. Rubbish! The Pope does not have the power of the Apostles. It did not, they do not have the power of the apostles. And by the way, Paul could not forgive sins either. He could forgive people when they were wrong to him, but he couldn't forgive them for God. There is one mediator between God and men, the man, Christ Jesus. We have one high priest. and no other. It's a lie. Okay, moving right along. Besides the church general is infallible. And as it sanctions and practices indulgence, indulgence must be valid. The church is not infallible. God is infallible. The word of God is infallible. Everything that they try to attest to the Pope in authority belongs to Christ and his words. See, they have replaced the word of God with the Pope. That's what they've done. They've replaced, and what we do is we recognize no one as the head of the church, but Christ Jesus, the Lord. Because the scriptures tells us that he is the head of the church, and he is the only infallible one. The church is not infallible. Look, this is the difference. When you go to the scriptures, here's what you see. Okay. Andrew needs to find me that Mac keyboard because I hate this. But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth." The church is not the truth. It is not infallible. The truth is infallible. Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life. And no man cometh unto the Father but by him. The church is the pillar. It's to be the pillar and the ground of the truth. It's to pillar up the truth. Jesus Christ is the truth. He is infallible. Jesus Christ is the head of the church, not the Pope. In fact, I just did a study on this. Actually, it was my devotion. It's not really a study. Here we go. Colossians 1, verse number 13, who hath delivered us from the power of darkness and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son, in whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins. Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature? For by him were all things created that are in heaven and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones or dominions or principalities or powers All things were created by him and for him, and he is before all things, and by him all things consist. And he is the head of the body, the church, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in all things he might have the preeminence. Amen. It is Christ who has the preeminence. It is Christ who is the door. We're gonna go back to those indulgences, right? Well, actually, I better get back to that. That you're learning something, because you're realizing that these doors, are they spooky spiritual portals being opened up? Probably so. Well, how do you know that? Well, anytime you preach a false gospel, the devils are there. Anytime you preach antichrist gospel, You have devils there, I'll show you, right? 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. Hereby, know ye the Spirit of God." Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God. And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not of God. And this is that spirit of Antichrist, wherever you have heard that it should come, and even now already is it in the world. The Pope says he is God on earth. So he's antichrist. Do you see? So what does that mean? There's devils with it? Of course. Devils are always a part of false gospels. So is he opening doors of devils? Well, of course he is. Now the Spirit speaketh expressly that in the latter times, some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits and doctrines of devils. Yes, those five doors are devils. Are our devils attached to them? Of course they are. Well, what do they do? What Rome does. This is what he's doing. Speaking lies and hypocrisy. having their conscience seared with a hot iron, forbidding to marry and commanding to abstain from meats, which God has created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth. There you go. That's doctrines of devils. They're seduced. Seducing spirits and doctrines of devils. That's what it is, of course. That's what it is. but it's on a grander scheme, right? It's much simpler than you think. It's much simpler. Listen, friend, let me help you with something, okay? Listen very closely. You've gotta be trained by the word of God. When you see things like these five doors and these five portals and all these things, deal with the practical that's right in front of you. Because these are the doors that damn that are sending people to hell. This is the normal doctrine. I don't have to look around for one-eyed wonders and all that other stuff. Are they there? You bet they are. I'm not denying that. But what I'm trying to get you to understand is that our work is much more practical than what the charismatics do. And these people like looking into deep dark secrets. It's much simpler than that. Deal with the practical that's right in front of you. Because it's right there what they're doing. It's very simple right before you. And see, God taught me the hard way that your life is not a chick comic book, Pastor Cooley. That really has a weird effect on me, but anyway, I'll keep moving. Your life is not that way. It's much simpler than that. If you just take the word of God and you deal with what's in front of you, Deal with the facts of what this is. This is where this all came from. It's about indulgences, the whole thing is. And we're not gonna finish this. Praise the Lord. We're gonna pick it up again on Wednesday. I'm enjoying this actually, it's really edifying. Because it teaches people the practical things that they need to know about this stuff. Amen. Thomas Aquinas, who by the way is one of the churches, when I say churches, I mean theologian, Roman Catholic. Okay? It's one of their theologians. See, they needed a scholastic to come. Okay? They needed a scholastic to come and defend their false doctrine. Or excuse me, they needed doctrine to match their false practice. That's what they needed. They needed that. So they got it. They needed a theologian to teach something evil. Okay? And they got it. You know, they got their theologian. They needed doctrine to match their false practice. That's what they needed. Tell that guy to stop that. Oh, that's me. Sorry. Right. Okay, cool. We have 18 on Sermon Audio. We have 38 on Rumble, 36, and 30 over on YouTube. So we're splitting the group up. Okay. All right, children, behave yourselves while you're all split up, okay? I can't keep an eye on all of you at one time. Thomas Aquinas deduces the efficacy of indulgence directly from Christ, right? That's what he said. Besides the church general is infallible and as it sanctions and practices indulgence, indulgence must be valid. This, Thomas is persuaded, all admit because there would be impiety in representing any act of the church as nugatory. What is nugatory? Hey, that's a fancy word. I've got to look that up. What's nugatory? Nugatory. It's not something that's niggling me. It's nugatory. What in the world is a nugatory? That is a word I have to find out. What is a nugatory? Nugatory! I love it! This is nugatory! Nugatory. Nougatory. I love it. Ready? Let's say that together, class. Nougatory. I love it. That would make it nougatory. Why, that's preposterous. One cat makes something like that nougatory? I mean... Nougatory. Oh, again. Nougatory. Wonderful. Wonderful. Nougatory. Nougatory. That's nugatory. Why, that's nugatory. Nugatory. I can't believe it. I love that it's my favorite new word. Nugatory. That's right. That's just plain nugatory. Why, Joe, that's plain nugatory. I can't believe I learned a new word today. Nougatory. I love that word. It is my favorite new word. Why, that's nougatory. Nougatory. Oh, nougatory. Nougatory. It means trivial, trifling, or of little importance, ineffective, invalid, or futile. Futile, having no force, inoperative, ineffectual. It is nugatory. Say it with me, class. Nugatory. One more time. Nugatory. Right. Right. Nugatory. That's what it is. It's just nugatory. Let me rephrase that. This, Thomas is persuaded, all admit. Because there would be impiety in representing any act of the church as nugatory. You know, of no value, futile, worth nothing. Nugatory, like the Pope. Right? Worth nothing. Nugatory, like the Pope. Like the indulgences, nugatory. Right, okay, now that we have that settled, now we understand what it means to be nugatory. Now you have a new word. You see, you can't say Pastor Cooley never taught you anything. I taught you today the word nugatory. Nugatory. Just kind of just rolls off your tongue, doesn't it, Ross? Well, maybe not a, probably not a Scotsman. I don't think anything really rolls, yeah, it rolls off your tongue like, you know, like that kind of. Anyway. Are you all mad at me yet for repeating nugatory? The reason of its efficacy, however, lies in the oneness of the mystical body, within the limits of which there are many who, as respects works of penance, have done more than they were under obligation to do. For instance, many who have patiently endured undeserved sufferings sufficient to expiate a great amount of penalties. In other words, it's a work salvation. That's what he's saying. He's saying that they did more work than you, so nanny nanny boo boo, stick your head in doo doo. They did more works than you. That's what he means by that. So because they did more works than you, they could cover your works that you didn't do. Right. Does that make sense at all? Not really, considering the only thing that pleases God is the Lord Jesus Christ. He is the only one that has forever pleased the Father. The atonement is by Christ Jesus the Lord. There is no one on this earth that has ever been saved any other way than by Jesus Christ and Him crucified. I am saved today, not because there is any merit in me, not because there has ever been anything good in me. I am saved by grace through faith and that not of yourselves. It is the gift of God, not of works, lest any man should boast. I am forgiven today because of Jesus Christ. I am not forgiven because I'm a good person or there is anything good in me. The Apostle Paul said, that is in my flesh dwelleth no good thing. Make sense? Right. In other words, this whole doctrine of indulgences would be considered nugatory. Nugatory. Worthless. Worth nothing. Futile. Like the Pope. He goes on to say, in fact, so vast is the sum of these merits that it greatly exceeds the measure of the guilt of all the living, especially when augmented by the merit of Christ, which, although operative in the sacraments, is not in its operation confined to these, but being infinite, extends far beyond them. The measure of this efficacy of indulgence, this St. Thomas reckons to be the truth. It is determined by the measure of its cause. What does that mean? Gobbly gook. Nothing. Absolutely nothing. It's nugatory. It means nothing. It's worthless. It comes from the mind of a foolish theologian that is burning in hell today, and not in purgatory, mind you. He is burning in the actual hell for all of eternity and will be dumped into the lake of fire with his father, the devil. Because it's nougatory. The measure of the efficacy of indulgence, says St. Thomas, reckons to be the truth. It is determined by the measure of its cause. The procuring cause of the remission of punishment in indulgence is, however, solely the plenitude of the Church's merit, not the piety, labors, or gifts of the party by whom it is obtained. And therefore, the quantity of the indulgence does not need to correspond with any of these, but only with the merits of the Church. What does that mean? Nothing! Absolutely nothing! It's philosophy. It's a big, fat, poop sandwich. Do you understand? It's nugatory. It's like eating a big bowl of nugatories. You're eating a big bowl of nugatories there. Remember? Remember that word? Nugatory. Nugatory. trivial, trifling, of little importance, ineffective, invalid, or futile, having no force, inoperative, ineffectual, like the entire Roman Catholic system, like the entire papacy, absolutely nugatory in every way. Right. Carrying on. In respect to the party who ought to dispense indulgence, St. Thomas asserts that no more priest or pastor, but only the bishop is competent for the duty. Ah, right. Why is that? He doesn't say. Does he give you any scripture for it? Of course not. Is there any Bible in any of his explanation for any of this? No. Does anything that he says have any authority? Not at all. It's nugatory. Nugatory. It's like eating a big bowl of nugatories. Right. And you might ask the question right now, are you making fun of them? Of course. Absolutely. Smashingly, I might add. Smashingly making fun of them. Smashingly. Wouldn't you say? Smashingly. Thomas Aquinas is a wicked devil. The only reason why somebody should ever read him is to rebuke him for his ridiculous nonsense. He is a devil. Okay. On the other hand, deacons in other parties, not in orders, as for example nuncios, may grant indulgence if... Either in an ordinary or extraordinary way, they have been entrusted with jurisdiction for the purpose. So that you could drop a little bit of nugatory, I mean, no, you could drop a little bit of indulgence on them. You wave a wand in the air and you say, poof, you got the Noyton on you. Now you got the Noyton and they run around with non-nugatory indulgences. And they could grant indulgences because they were touched with the indulgence wand. they had a little bit of the indulgence knocked on them. They got anointed. You know, remember this guy, the anointer? They got anointed with the anointer, and now they have the anointing on them, so they could pass on indulgences to people, so that you could just hand out indulgences, like the Charismatics throw around the anointing. Well, what Bible do they have for any of this? Not one verse. Why? Because they made it up. It's a money-making scheme. They made it up and they're using it. And the Pope wants some more money. It's been 25 years, so he's opening up Pandora's box again. So he can make money. And damn more souls to hell. There's more to it than that, a little bit, which will unfold on our next broadcast, because we're not going to have time to unfold it today. Of course, because we still have to finish explaining, explaining, explaining, like got to explain and stuff. I'm got to mansplain some more to you. I have to mansplain some more to you. If Ross is still awake, I'm trying to mansplain Ross. It's like what I tell the ladies on the street when they get mad at us. I just have to mansplain this to you. Look, I'm trying to mansplain. Oh, you are? You're trying to mansplain? I can't believe it. You're trying to mansplain to me? Yeah, that's what I'm doing. If you'd just be quiet and let me mansplain, I could get through this. Isn't that awesome? You should see the look on their face when I say that. This is why I never get invited anywhere. Right? This is why. This is why. I never get invited anywhere. This is why. Right? On the other hand, he says, deacons and other parties, not in orders as, for example, nuncios, may grant indulgence if either in an ordinary or extraordinary way they have been entrusted with jurisdiction for the purpose. For indulgence does not, like sacramental acts, pertain to the power of the keys inherited the priesthood. but to that power of the keys which belong to jurisdiction. Right. So, we're not done explaining really the history of indulgences. There's more to come for that. That is a long article, isn't it? Amazing. But these five doors, this work, we need to finish talking about indulgences, I think, I might have enough to do this all week actually. Like for Friday's broadcast too. So Wednesday and Friday. Cause I really, there's a lot to this. And as you know, I don't do anything simply. I always do things long form, not short form. Right. Let me give you a hint. and we'll finish up with this for today. And we're gonna pick back up indulgences, those unholy doors, those five doors of devils, right? Those five doors that damn, and what the point of all this is. But I want you to see something. Look what's happening in 2025. Pope Francis, this is what those five doors are about. This. You following me? We're going to finish up with indulgence, or we're going to cover indulgences again, okay? But this five doors, look, this is what it's about. Pope Francis and Cardinal Matteo Zuppi, considered a potential successor to Francis, have reportedly approved an LGBT event for the 2025 Jubilee, including a pilgrimage passing through the holy door of St. Peter's Basilica. Wait. Wait. Are you saying that the Pope is gonna sanctify The LGBTQ people. Through his door. They're going to come through the door. Yeah. Yeah, that's what this is about. Remember, they have this open door policy and this closed door policy. Well, he's opening the door. Pope Francis has approved an LGBT-specific pilgrimage during the 2025 year, an Italian Vaticanist reported, continuing his policy of openness to LGBT individuals. According to a report in Il Messaggero Franco, Giano Soldati, Whatever that means. Today, a pilgrimage to Rome specifically for LGBT individuals will take place next September as part of the official Jubilee celebrations. He wrote that a special moment of spirituality has been included in the official calendar of the holy year on September 6th, and the historic Baruch Church of Jesu, the Jesuit Church, Jesu, that's the Jesuit Church, has become the promoter of welcoming LGBT pilgrims, their parents, workers, and all those who gravitate to these rainbow associations. The beautiful and famously lavishly decorated Church of the Jesu is the mother church of the Jesuit Order, home to relics of Saint Francis Xavier. It's usage by the LGBTQ pilgrimage is due to the event itself being the brainchild of Jesuit priests from Bologna. That's Bologna. Bologna, Father Pino Piva, who brought the idea of the Pope. Hey Pope, let's make everything more gay, huh? Okay, okay, no problem, huh? Although the Pope did say, And I quote the Pope, there's a little too much faggotry going on in the schools. End quote. Faggotry. Faggotry. It's a little bit too much faggotry going on. Faggotry, huh? It's faggotry, huh? Too much of the faggotry. Right. According to that dude, Francis approved the idea, which also received the backing of Cardinal Matteo Zuppi. Hey, Cardinal Matteo Zuppi, the president of the Italian Bishops' Conference. Not only this, but Father Arturo Sosa. Oh! The Superior General of the Jesuits! The Black Pope! So the white Pope, the black Pope, yeah. Wait, so are you saying the white and the black are gonna come together and they're gonna invite them to go through those doors together? No, I didn't say that, they did. He looks like a Fruit Loop. By the way, if I get kicked off of YouTube, catch me on Rumble, just so you know, you YouTubers, because I get a little frank sometimes. However, Giannasaldati, I don't want to say his name, sorry, referenced a lot of internal resistance to the pilgrimage, though did not point to any more specific details. The Dicastery of Evangelization, which oversees the Jubilee, has yet to respond to the queries. Hey, that's funny. Maybe not. Just kidding. From this correspondent about the event, however, an official spoke to Reuters saying the inclusion in the official calendar did not imply support of the specific event. What a liar. Okay. The pilgrimage will be officially named the church home for all LGBT Christians and other existential frontiers, and will be led chiefly by the prominent Italian Tenda di Giannata. They will hold a prayer vigil in the Gesù on Friday, September 5th, before then passing through the holy door at the Vatican, I told you, on Saturday. Anyway, let's finish this article. Next time, we'll pause it right there. Right there. And we will pause the indulgences right there. Number three. Right, okay, one song and then I'm gonna go. And we'll pick up on these five doors that damn. We'll pick up on those again, right? the Savior's blood. Died He for me who caused His pain, for me who in to death pursued amazing love. Just die for me Amazing grace, how sweet the sound His Father's throne above So free, so infinite His grace Emptied Himself of all but love And bled forever On my imprisoned spirit lay, fast bound in sin and nature's knife. My chains fell off All right, everybody, God bless you. And you pray for us, please, that the Lord would bless the work that we do and that in all of it, he would be honored and glorified. Please, look, if you can, number one, I know you can pray for us. Please pray for us. Number two, if you can give towards our trip that's coming. We've got a little over two months to go. On January 5th, it'll be two months exactly, 60 days or whatever. But so we've got, you know, a little over that obviously, but we still need to order a bunch of things and get some things done. So please pray for us about that. If you'd like to give towards that, you can give through PayPal, salvationpreacher at gmail.com. You can give through Venmo, which is PastorCooley at iCloud.com. You can give through Apple Pay. And that's my, you can text that to my phone number there, 952-210-2935. Or you can mail it, okay? You can mail us something. 1030 Highway 3 South, Northfield, Minnesota, 55057. Just mark it for the trip or whatever you want to give it for. If it's our normal needs, we have plenty of those. But if you'd like to give it for the trip, just let us know, OK? Because we're going to need cash when we're out there, too. Also, I haven't even begun to look at all that stuff yet. So anyway, you pray for us. I appreciate it. And we'll see you then on Wednesday, 2 p.m. Central Time. Okay, Wednesday, 2 p.m. Central Time. All right? God bless you all. Take care.
