and welcome everyone. You're listening to Prophecy Quake tonight. I'm your host, Pastor Dean Odell. It is December 5th, 2017. I can't believe it that we're already this close to 2018. I think 2018 is gonna be a very interesting year when it comes to Bible prophecy and end time events. But tonight we're going to address something that I talked about in some messages a few weeks ago. I've entitled tonight's show Zen Garcia's Gnostic Heresies and Blasphemy of the Holy Spirit. Now, I'm just gonna have to say upfront that it disappoints me to have to do this. I got to know Zen in the last, I don't know, couple of years, I guess year and a half maybe. He invited me on his show. Of course, we unified over the issues of being brothers in Jesus Christ, but really what brought us together was the topic of flat earth and the firmament and the enclosed system in which we dwell, getting back to biblical cosmology. And I wanna say that over that time period of getting to know Zen and being on his radio show with him, and I came to love Zen very much and appreciated what a lot of the stuff he was teaching and putting out there. Of course, I hadn't known him long enough to dig into everything, but of course, I went on different radio shows anyway of people that I didn't really know where they stood on everything, but just to share my testimony of how God opened my eyes to biblical cosmology again and what God was doing in that area, in that arena. But of course, things began to transpire over time, and one of the first issues that came up, and this was, I don't know, this was several months back, but I began to get emails, I began to get comments and emails and questions from people who watch our and listen to our ministry, and people began to ask me, where did I stand on the Cain-Servancy Doctrine that Zen was teaching? Of course, at that time, I didn't know he even taught it, so I had to go and dig in and see what he was teaching about. Of course, it's not a new doctrine or anything. It's not new to him. I had heard about it years ago from the Branamites, William Branham, the people that followed him, were into that back in the, what is it, the 40s and the 50s and 60s time period. So I knew about that coming from a Pentecostal background that there were people who believed in the Cain-Servancy era, and for those of you who don't know what that is, and I'm gonna address that in detail too tonight, that's the idea, the belief, that Eve really had sexual relations with the serpent, Satan, in the Garden of Eden. It wasn't eating fruit, it was having sexual relations,
and that Cain is the spawn of that, and there's a whole seed line from Cain. Now again, that's a belief, it's not biblical. I'll show you in a minute where that came from, but that was the beginning of me confronting Zen on taking teachings from Gnostic gospels, from Gnostic heretics, and using them as proof text to create what he was trying to put forth as Christian doctrine. And when it comes to establishing biblical doctrine, sound doctrine, you have to stick to the Bible. You have to stick to the 66 books of scripture here. I believe God preserved them, I believe God moved in that whole situation. I know there's people out there that don't believe this, but if you don't believe that God was able to preserve the books and to bring together the books to create the Bible that he wanted, then you already have a problem with your foundation. Your foundation is off. Psalm 12, God promised he would preserve his word from generation to generation forever, and of course, there's archeological evidence, manuscript evidence to prove that God's word, the Bible that we have today has been preserved just as God moved upon those holy men, prophets and apostles and evangelists and those men and the prophets of the Old Testament and those kings and also the apostles of the New Testament that the Holy Spirit moved upon them and inspired them what to write, and God preserved those words. People talk about sometimes books that were left out. They were left out for reasons, and it was the decisions of very godly men who were praying and discerning, who had connections, and again, it had to be connected back, especially New Testament books had to be connected back to the apostles, and when I say the apostles, I'm talking about the original, the 11 that were left after Judas, and then of course, the apostle Paul, and then I believe other apostles that were brought in, James and Jude, the half-brother of Jesus. So again, we have what God wants us to have. Now again, there's other books that I believe contribute that have historical value that have, now we know have some value in the sense of giving us some truth that we need, but listen, it doesn't matter what, if anything comes forth, any ancient writing, any documents, anything that claims to be from God or claims to be Holy Scripture, it must, or anything that claims to be a word or a prophecy or whatever, it's got to adhere.
It cannot contradict, it cannot add to or take from the canon of Scripture that we have right here, Genesis to Malachi, Matthew to Revelation. Now, if you don't believe that, again, that's your problem. Your foundation is off, but the foundation, the way we, God has promised that if we would stay in the word, we would know the truth. He said if you would, John 8, he said if you would continue in my word, you will know the truth and the truth will make you free. You have to continue in the word. God said that his word was inspired, and I'm gonna read it. Matter of fact, let's just read some Scriptures tonight. First of all, let's go to 2 Timothy, 2 Timothy chapter three, and we'll just read here, I guess, let's just read from verse 12. 2 Timothy, we're just gonna let it fly tonight, and I don't wanna try to press anything. It's got a lot to cover. We may have Dr. John Strzazic joining us in the second hour, Hebrew and Greek scholar, former dean of seminary, but regardless, I asked him if he could, he might be able to join us in the second hour, but we're just gonna go through the Scriptures tonight, and again, let me say, and a lot of people are gonna think that why would you name names, why do you have to do this? Well, sometimes you really do have to name names, especially when it starts getting serious, and of course, as we look at Zen, Garcia's Gnostic Heresies, the Cain-Serpency doctrine is serious enough. I mean, any time you get off of Holy Scripture and you begin to veer away and add to or take from what the Bible soundly teaches, anything that contradicts, anything that's really weird and abnormal out there, away from the word of God, I mean, that's serious enough, and I explained that to Zen, that once you go down this road, you're beginning to teach others that it's okay to veer off into these strange areas, but the most egregious area that brought me to this point of saying, okay, this is enough, was Zen's recent teaching that the Holy Spirit is feminine or the mother part of the Trinity called Sophia. Now, the moment I heard this, of course, I've been walking with the Lord over 30 years. I got saved in the 70s, late 70s, came back to the Lord in 87. He called me to the ministry. So I've been in this thing a long time. I've been reading my Bible a long time. I've been studying the Scriptures a long time. I studied Gnosticism very early on because this is a subject that you're gonna encounter from time to time. So when I begin to hear these things, when I begin to see this stuff about the Cain-Serpency doctrine,
when I begin, definitely when I saw Zen teaching the heresy and the blasphemy of the Holy Spirit, and there's no other way to put it. I know that that seems strong, but Sophia is a demon. The Sophia of Gnosticism is a goddess, and it is a demon. It is a deception, and the moment you attach and call the Holy Spirit Sophia, you're blaspheming the Holy Spirit. There's just no other way to put it. And it saddens me deeply, but this is a serious matter. And the reason this is so serious is because the unsaved or unsuspecting people or people who are becoming or about to become Christians born again and start following Jesus or new believers, this is a way, if they really begin to trust Zen, because he's right on many issues. Whether it be about biblical cosmology or Genesis 6 and the Nephilim and the Giants and all of that, I mean, he teaches a lot of things that are true. But again, all false teachers would not be able to deceive anybody if they didn't teach some things that were true. But the moment you get into this, really, this is just, this is so far off the rails that I can't believe that I even have to, it even has to be addressed in 2017. I mean, it really, Kevin and I were discussing this beforehand and it just really blows my mind that anyone could read particularly the New Testament and come away thinking the Holy Spirit of God is feminine mother and Sophia. But this is, listen, this stuff right here is clearly, and I'll show you, we're gonna go through this, clearly from Gnosticism. And I wanna show you as we get into this that it is biblical to finally put your foot down and to say, okay, enough's enough, and to name names. And that's why I'm doing this. But let's just read this. This is 2 Timothy chapter two, I mean, chapter three. And we're gonna read from verse 12. And it says, yay, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. But evil men and seducers, deceivers, shall wax worse and worse deceiving and being deceived. And then Paul tells this young pastor Timothy, what you need to do so that you won't be deceived by these deceivers, these impostors. He says, but continue thou in the things which thou has learned and has been assured of knowing of whom thou has learned them, and that from a child thou has known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith, which is in Christ Jesus. So he tells them, you're gonna have these deceivers and these impostors. It's interesting, the word seducers is the Greek word goates.
And it means impostors, one who takes on an identity in order to deceive. It actually also means wizards who mutter spells, but that can also, you can say that people who get into occult mysticism into the esoteric. So he says, but evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse deceiving and being deceived, but you, Timothy, you continue in the things which you have learned and been assured of knowing of whom thou has learned them, and that from a child thou has known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith, which is in Christ Jesus. All scripture is given by inspiration of God and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness that the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works. Well, let's just continue reading into chapter four. Verse one, he says, I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing in his kingdom, preach the word, the Bible. Genesis to Malachi, Matthew to Revelation, the Bible, the word, the written word of God. Preach the word, be instant in season, out of season, reprove, rebuke, exhort with all long suffering and doctrine, for the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but after their own lusts, shall they heed to themselves teachers having itchy ears, and they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned into the fables. But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the working of evangelists, make foolproof thy ministry. So he tells him right here again, there's a time coming they won't endure sound doctrine, they're gonna heed to themselves teachers having itchy ears, gonna turn their ears away to the truth they're gonna be turned to fables and myths. And that's what they're gonna wanna hear more than anything else. But he tells him again, he makes it clear to Timothy, you stick with the holy scriptures, the inspired, infallible, the God-breathed scriptures that have been proven over time, the test of time. And that's what you stick with. Now, what's interesting, you go back and you look in chapter one of Second Timothy. And we'll just back up into chapter one. And again, this is Paul, he's given instructions to this young pastor, and we'll just go to verse 12. And he says, for the which cause I also suffer these things, nevertheless I am not ashamed, for I know whom I have believed and persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day. Hold fast the form of sound words, which thou hast heard of me in faith and love, which is in Christ Jesus. That good thing which was committed unto thee, keep by the Holy Ghost, which dwelleth in us. This thou knowest that all they which are in Asia be turned away from me, of whom are Phrygielus and Hermongones, and the Lord give mercy into the house of Anisphus,
for he oft refreshed me and was not ashamed of my chain. So here Paul names two guys who used to, or at one point walked with him, maybe were Christians, maybe they pretended to be, but he said, they've turned away, they've turned away from me. So he names their names, Phrygielus and Hermongones. And if you go over into chapter two, we'll go over to chapter two, verse 14. He says, of these things put them in remembrance, charging them before the Lord, that they strive not about words to no profit, but to the subverting of the hearers. Then he says this to him, study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. That means the minister of the gospel, the pastor here, young pastor Timothy, you got to make sure you rightly divide the word of God, meaning you rightly put it together, sound doctrine, you don't veer from this. He says, but shun profane and vain babblings, for they will increase unto more ungodliness, and their word will eat as doth the canker of whom Hymenaeus and Philetus, who concerning the truth have erred, saying that the resurrection is past already and overthrow the faith of some. So here, Paul names two guys who have erred, who have gone into error, who concerning the truth, they've strayed and erred from the truth of the scriptures, and they were telling people the resurrection had passed already. You say, well, how would anybody believe that? But you got to remember, there were a lot of people that were young believers, maybe new to Christianity, they didn't understand all the teachings yet, all the foundations yet, and you got two guys running around saying, you know what, no, the resurrection is past already, and he says they were overthrowing the faith of some. They were making people think, well, what's the use? I missed it, so what's the use in following Jesus? What's the use in anything? I mean, deception is always bad, but here, Paul, I just wanted you to see, Paul names their names, and that's why we do it sometimes. Go over into 2 Timothy chapter four. We're gonna start with verse nine. He was given his final instructions to Timothy here, and he named some more people, one who had walked with him. If you look in the book of Colossians chapter four, you'll see a Demas who had been an assistant of Paul who left him, and he tells why. He says, why this guy became a backslider. He says he loved the world. Let's read it. 2 Timothy chapter four, verse nine. Paul tells Timothy, do thy diligence to come shortly unto me, for Demas hath forsaken me, having loved this present world, and is departed unto Thessalonica, Cretans to Galatia, Titus unto Dalmatia, only Luke is with me. Take Mark and bring him with thee, for he is profitable to me for the ministry, and Tychicus have I sent to Ephesus, the cloak that I left at Troas with Carpus
when thou come, bring with thee, and the books, but especially the parchments. And then he says these words, Alexander the coppersmith did me much evil. The Lord reward him according to his works, of whom be thou where also, for he hath greatly withstood our words. And then Paul says that my first answer, no man stood with me, but all men forsook me. I pray God that it may not be laid to their charge. So here again, he names Paul's going through naming some names. He says, Demas has forsaken me, having loved this present world. He said, Alexander the coppersmith did me much evil. The Lord reward him for his works, and so on. I mean, I could give many, many more examples of people. I mean, even Jesus through the apostle John, if you go to, well, let's just go there, to Revelation chapter two, and that's where Jesus is giving John prophetic words and directions for the seven churches in Asia. And in chapter two, of course, and to the church of Thyatira, verse 18, he's giving this rebuke, we'll just read it. This is Revelation two, verse 18. And unto the angel of the church in Thyatira, write these things sayeth the Son of God, he who hath his eyes like a flame of fire and his feet like a defined brass, he said, I know thy works and charity and service and faith in thy patience and thy works, and the last to be more than the first, notwithstanding of a few things against thee because thou sufferers that woman Jezebel, which called herself a prophetess to teach you to seduce my servants to admit fornication and to eat things sacrificed to idols. And I gave her space to repent of her fornication, and she repented not. Behold, I will cast her into a bed in them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds. And I will kill her children with death, and all the churches shall know that I am he which searches the rains and the hearts, and I will give unto every one of you according to your works. But I say unto you, or but unto you rather I say, and unto the rest in Thyatira, as many as have not this doctrine which have not known the depths of Satan as they speak, I will put upon you none of the burden. So here Jesus speaking prophetically to the apostle John to give a message to this church. So John had to deliver the message Jesus wanted delivered, but that message in Thyatira was naming someone. There is a woman named Jezebel who is a false prophet and the leaders of the church are allowing her to teach and to seduce my servants. And Jesus said, I want it stopped. So folks, that's why at times we have to pause. And even though, like I said, with great sadness and disappointment,
I've got to confront these errors. So as we look at these Gnostic errors, first thing I wanna do and brother, if we can, you can go ahead and switch over and put my screen up. We're gonna put my computer screen up for a few minutes here, but I wanna show everyone. I wrote an article entitled the Cain Serpent Seed Era or the Danger of the Cain Serpent Seed Era, but I wanna deal with the Cain Serpent Seed Era because I did confront Zen and that was kind of the beginning. And of course, I even pointed out where the origins of this go back to the Gnostics, writings, the gospels of Thomas and Philip that are Gnostic, heretical, false gospels, and also the Jewish book of occultism, the Zohar. As I said, the Cain Serpent Seed Doctrine teaches that Eve had sexual relations with the serpent, Satan, in the Garden of Eden. And the result of that encounter was a pregnancy that produced Cain. The claim is that these descendants of Cain, the serpent seed, are still with us today. Now, for some of you right now, you could've think, wow, this is just crazy. Well, yeah, if you know the Bible, you go, who would teach that? Who would believe that? Because, I mean, we have the clear doctrine of scripture. I just wanna say this doctrine's never stated in the Bible. Now, in order to come to this conclusion that the serpent had sexual relations with Eve and produced the Cain as an offspring of the serpent, I mean, you've really got to accept wild speculation as fact. I mean, and you must apply versus the Cain that never mentioned him, and the idea that he was the offspring of the fallen angel, Satan. I mean, there is no mention of this whatsoever. He said, I do believe here that the serpent seed, and I do believe there is a real serpent seed called the Nephilim, or some, as they say, the Raphaean exists today. I mean, Genesis 6 makes it clear. But let's just look at this, okay? Let's just look at the scriptures here, and if he can put them up, this is Genesis 4, 1-2, and I did a message on this months back called, you know, Doctrines of Demons, if you wanna find that on YouTube, and I did call out then on that, and I said, this is a doctrine of demon, and this is why I don't believe it's scriptural, because the Bible is clear right here. First of all, Genesis 3 does not mention Eve and the serpent having sexual relations. It talks about how he convinced her to eat of the forbidden tree, but here's what it says, Genesis 4, 1-2, and Adam knew his wife, or had sexual relations with Eve, his wife,
and she conceived and bear Cain. I don't know how much clearer it can be. And Adam knew his wife intimately, and she conceived and bear Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from the Lord, not from Satan, not from the serpent, not from Lucifer, but I've gotten a man from the Lord. And again, she bear his brother Abel, and Abel was a keeper of the sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground. So very clear here, the biblical text in Genesis never, and can I say it? I don't even know if I can say it any stronger, never states, hints, or implies that there was a sexual encounter between Eve and the serpent. And it's amazing that the people that teach these doctrines, like Zen, like the late William Branham, and some of the others that have taught this error, I mean, they really, they have to transform, is arbitrarily transform the eating of the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil into a sex act. I mean, that's what they have to do. And what most people, you know, you forget, you start hearing this, and you gotta remember that not only Eve ate from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, the fruit from it, but Adam ate from it. So you're saying that Adam had a homosexual encounter with the serpent, with Lucifer, with Satan? I mean, do you see this, this begins to get into the realm of ridiculous nonsense, but it's also very sick and perverted. And that's why I know, when you start getting into these realms, you know it is inspired by Satan when you start getting into this. And of course, the scripture's clear. I mean, let's go to Genesis three, verse one, just to cover this thoroughly tonight. I will read verse one here through 13. This is Genesis three. Let's just read the account. You won't see anything about a sex act. You're gonna see that they ate tree from a real, I mean, fruit from a real tree. Now let's just read it. Now the serpent was more subtle than any beast of the field, which the Lord God had made. And he said unto the woman, yay, if God said, you shall not eat of every tree of the garden. And the woman said unto the serpent, we may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden, but of the fruit of the tree, which is in the midst of the garden, God said, you shall not eat of it. And neither shall you touch it, lest you die. And the serpent said unto the woman, you shall not surely die. For God doth know in the day you eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and you shall be as God's knowing good and evil. And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her and did eat. And the eyes of both of them were opened,
and they knew that they were naked, and they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves aprons, and they heard the voice of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day. And Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God amongst the trees of the garden. And the Lord God called at Adam and said to him, where art thou? And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden was afraid, because I was naked, and I hid myself. And he said, who told thee thou was naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree? Where have I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat? And the man said, the woman that thou gave us me, she gave me of the tree and I did eat. And the Lord God said unto the woman, what is this that thou has done? The serpent beguiled me and I did eat. So again, here we talk about, Eve saw that the tree was pleasant to look at, and good for food, not an orgasm. She wasn't, it has no references to sexual relations. And I hope the children are out of the room, but this is just the fact. This is ridiculous. And then if you start talking about eating fruit, I mean, what kind of, if eating fruit is having sex, then where are all these trees in the garden? I mean, it's just, again, it is just ridiculous. And I mean, there are people that, I mean, it turns Adam into some kind of weird bisexual. And then there's people that try to talk about, well, he's the piercing serpent talking about Satan and using that as some sexual reference. I am, I'm really blown away, but listen, all of this comes from text outside of the Bible. Now let's go back. I see, you see, if people can accept, and this is why this is so serious and this is why this is so dangerous. If people can accept the Cain serpent seed error as truth, then they're just set up for further deception. I mean, it encourages people to spiritualize and allegorize any part of the Bible they wish. They just like, oh, well, this is not literal. This is whatever. And it's Satan's trick to get people to change the plain meaning of God's word. Look, it's not surprising that when you go back and you dig and you find out where this came from, it's not surprising that you find out that the Cain serpent seed doctrine is found in the book of Jewish fables and occult mysticism called the Zohar. Think about that. Now the Zohar first appeared in the 13th century. The Jewish legend or fable claims that a rabbi went into a cave for 13 years in the second century AD to study the Torah and was inspired by the prophet Elijah to write the Zohar. Among other things, the Zohar teaches the practice of looking for deeper meanings in the scriptures beyond the plain text. However, the serpent seed doctrine appears
to have originated from earlier Gnostic heretics. It was recorded in the third century AD in the Gnostic gospel of Philip, which is not part of the inspired word of God, the Bible, the canon of scripture. And the reason it's not inspired in there, listen, they found this. There's only one ancient copy of the Gnostic gospel of Philip, which is written in the Coptic language. It was discovered in the Nag Hamandi, Egypt in 1945. Now this was a single book bound together with the Gnostic gospel of Thomas. So they found this third century Gnostic text, granted it's an ancient text, but it's not Bible. It's not inspired by the God of creation, by the Lord Jesus Christ, by the true Holy Spirit of God. No, this is the Gnostic gospel. It was a single book bound together, but there was the gospel of Philip and the gospel of Thomas. Now, the Gnostics were totally demonic heretics, folks. The apostles began to confront Gnostic errors in the epistles like Colossians and 1 John. But I mean, even Irenaeus, second century church father had to battle these things, these falsehoods. But listen to this. The gospel of Philip fabricates the falsehood that Mary Magdalene was the chief counselor and or wife of Jesus, and that he loved her more than all the disciples. Let me just give you some quotes. Here's some quotes. This is from the, let's see here. This is from the gospel of Philip. It says, as for the wisdom who is called the Baron, she is the mother of the angels and the companion of the Savior was Mary Magdalene. Christ loved Mary more than all the disciples and used to kiss her softly on her hand. The rest of the disciples were offended by it and expressed disapproval. They said then, why do you love her more than all of us? The Savior answered and said to them, why do not I love you like her? When a blind man and one sees and one who sees are both together in darkness, they're no different from one another. When the light comes, then he who sees will see the light and he who is blind will remain in darkness. Now, first of all, there's none of this in Scripture and all of that just makes no sense, but it gets even worse. Remember the gospel of Thomas and the gospel of Philip were found in 1945. And okay, they were found bound together. And so here's the gospel of Thomas says things like this. And this is like, what is it, verse 114 says, Simon Peter said to them, let Mary leave us for women are not worthy of life. Jesus said, I myself shall lead her
in order to make her male so that she too may become a living spirit resembling you males for every woman who will make herself a male will enter the kingdom of heaven. Now this is from the gospel of Thomas. Folks, do you hear this nonsense? First of all, it's saying women are not worthy of life. The Bible never says that. The Bible says that God came that he loved the whole world. That means male and female. And then he gave his only begotten son that whosoever male or female would believe in him would not perish but have everlasting life. And he talks about this and he says, but it says Mary is not worthy of life and I will lead her in order to make her male so that she too may become a living. I mean, here's third century transgender confusion, demonic. You wanna find out this stuff? How could Zen, Garcia, anybody that claims to be a Christian, a teacher, a minister, a pastor or anything, I know Zen doesn't claim to be a pastor, but how could anyone who claims to be a Christian say they believe the Bible is the authority and inspired and that the canon of scripture is what we should take? How does anybody take the gospel of Philip and the gospel of Thomas seriously enough to use it to teach the Cain's Serpent Seed doctrine or the Gnosticism that there's a feminine aspect to the holy trinity to the Godhead called Sophia. I mean, this is straight out of Gnosticism. Here's the Zohar, which is again, Jewish fables. The very thing that Paul wrote, don't listen to Jewish fables. Don't give heed to fables. And he said, they will not give heed to sound doctrine, they will turn to fables. Now here's the Zohar, right? Saying this, this is the Zohar, Barishith 36b, when they beget children, the firstborn was the son of the serpent's slime for two beings had intercourse with Eve and she conceived from both and bore two children. Each followed one of the male parents and their spirits parted one to this side and one to the other and similarly their characters. So here's the Zohar teaching that Cain was Serpent Seed and Abel was not. So Jewish mysticism, Jewish occultism, Jewish fables, legends. And then here's the Gnostic gospel Philip, verse 46 says this, adultery occurred first then murder and Cain was begotten in adultery for he was the son of the serpent. Therefore, he became a manslayer just like his other father, the serpent
and he killed his brother, Abel. So folks, there you have it, ancient texts. So I'm going back to the 13th century, the Jewish Zohar, going back to the 3rd century, the Gnostic heretics. Here is the origin of the Cain Serpent Seed era that Eve had sexual relations with the serpent. And yet Zen Garcia and others have adopted this as biblical teaching, as Christian doctrine. This is demonic, it is false, it is dangerous because if you start saying that these writings are legitimate and should be used to create Christian theology and doctrine, then the ignorant, the unsuspecting, the ones who don't know better, the young Christians, they're just gonna go down these roads and start reading all this crap and they're gonna end up confused and they're gonna end up being influenced by deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons and demons are on these books and they're gonna bring them into their possession. And Zen's even selling them. So he's even spreading this into people's homes and it's just, listen folks, it's just, you gotta stop, it's gotta stop. And that's all I can say. I mean, I spoke to him about this ahead of time and he just kept sticking to his guns about it. So I wrote this article, of course, some of his followers got very upset with me but I mean, here's one of his followers just to address this. Here was a YouTube comment from one of Zen's groupies that I received after, I stated in a sermon that I disagreed with Zen about the Cain's serpent seed. They said, with respect, I think you should at least address the scriptural evidence, which in my opinion, outnumbers the evidence against. Genesis four is something that I have wondered about for some time now, I really don't know the answer. You know why? Genesis four is a problem for him because it doesn't taint you. So even this follower goes, well, I've wondered about Genesis four, doesn't really teach it, but I like what, it's almost like, well, Zen said it, so Zen said it is true. Genesis four, we gotta figure out why Genesis four doesn't agree with Zen. Then this is ridiculous. No, you don't have to, Genesis four is right and Zen is wrong. That's simple, but people start worshiping men, man. It's crazy. I mean, it's one thing I love about the word of God. You go back to the word of God, you can find the truth and you don't have to worship men. You don't have to bow down. You don't put men's word above what God's word says. If the two contradict one another, I'm sorry, but you go with God's word and let those guys, let the chips fall where they may. I mean, this person went on to say, you gotta hear the verses that you have to deal with
if you're honest. If I'm honest, like I'm lying. And they give me these scriptures, they give me a list of scriptures that have nothing to do with the subject whatsoever. And then it says, also, I'm not sure this is evidence, they said, but I do think it's interesting that Cain is not listed in the genealogy in Genesis five. And one of the things that just came back to me of how the New Testament says, don't worry about it. Don't get into the genealogies. That's not how we create theology anyway. And then it goes on and says, I really don't mean any disrespect, but I don't understand the stubborn refusal of some Christian pastors or Christians in general, of even listening or considering the biblical evidence. No, it's not stubbornness. And that's what I, you know, I'm blown away because I had to tell Zen, I had to tell some of his followers. This is not new. You know, like I've never looked at this. I had the deal address this issue almost 30 years ago when I was hearing it coming from William Branham followers, the Branhamites. I confronted one Branhamite that visited this church not too long ago, about a year ago, a little over a year, visited this church and had a very loud contentious debate in a restaurant even before I found out that Zen taught you. This is not new, but I, you know, as I told them said, you know, be careful what you wish for because, you know, they pulled me out on this issue. So anyway, so we've dealt with that. And I could just go through this, but that was the beginning. And my point in this whole thing was, you know, I do believe there's a serpent seed, but it has to do with the fallen angels and human women. And that's just, that's separate from Cain. And of course, one of my big things about Cain was when the Lord told him, the Lord spoke to him and Genesis four and said, you know, if you do well, you'll be, you'll be accepted. Cain had a choice. It wasn't his genetics. It wasn't anything. He had a choice. He chose, he could choose to do good or not. And God said, you'll be accepted. I never see God saying that to any of the Nephilim, the descendants of the fallen angels and human women, the giants or the Raphaim or the Ammonines or the Zimzumans or all the different descendants, all the different groups of people that were truly half breeds and offsprings of the fallen angels. I never said to any of them that they would be accepted, but yet he tells Cain, if you do well, you'll be accepted. So this is dangerous. And the reason it's dangerous is this gets you going down the other path. Now what we'll do then real quick, before we get into the second hour here, and we're almost there, but we'll take a quick break. Before we get into the PowerPoint part that I have up, I do want to bring up
that some of the Gnostic, if you go back and again, tonight, we're not gonna be able to cover everything when you get into Gnosticism, but some of the basics of Gnosticism that you need to understand is that they believed in that the God of the Old Testament, Yahweh was evil and that he was different than the God of creation. So they believed in a dualism, and then you're gonna see dualism, that phraseology, you're gonna see that used in a lot of things, but basically, they believed in that. They called him the demiurge, and that Yahweh was the offspring of Sophia, but became evil and thought he was the creator and God, and that's why there's such a difference in Old Testament and New Testament and stuff. So that was one of their things that they believed. Of course, the strong belief in the personification of wisdom as Sophia, as a goddess, as a mother, as an emanation of God or the Godhead. And so that's where you get all this, again, just another style of ancient goddess worship. But also, you get into this whole thing about it's by through knowledge and that we were basically all just spirit form and that we come into the flesh and we work out our evil coming into the flesh through our experiences and all this stuff. And again, what they were moving away from, the early Gnostics and the Christian Gnostics, they moved into knowledge, becoming the way that you were spiritually mature, spiritually clean, instead of just coming in through faith in the precious blood of Jesus, through the cross and the resurrection of Jesus Christ, and that you had to confess your sins and you had to repent and you had to obey and walk with God and come into a born again experience where the precious blood of Jesus shed on the cross washed your sins away. That's not what they believed. They believed it was through knowledge and they also believed that it didn't really matter how you lived in the flesh because the flesh didn't even matter. It was more about gaining spiritual knowledge and insight and revelation and all of this stuff into all the hidden mysteries of, you know, and let me say this, whether you use the word occult, you know, the word occult means hidden, the word esoteric means hidden. And so when you talk about this, they talk about hidden knowledge in all the different religions and mystery religions and mystery schools and all of that stuff. It's still, you're getting way, way off course into mysticism. And this is what blew me away
and we're gonna play a couple of clips here because, let me just show this. For some of you, this screen's gonna be hard to see. I wanted you to see that I pulled up a website here, took a screenshot. This is the newnosis.org. This is Gnostic Dualism. I wanted to read some of this before I got into this course. The Gnostic Principle of Dualism. This is the principle has been understood as a belief in separate and opposing forces of good and evil identified with light and darkness, spirit and matter, inner self and outer world. The essence of dualism is quite different, however. It lies in the simple but fundamental recognition that without two-ness or duality, there can be no relationship and thus no unity or oneness. The mere postulation of anyone being, world or God, implies the possibility of another and implies also the definite relation to that other. The principle of duality is essentially the principle of relationality, I guess how they say it. The recognition that anyone being is, anyone being is its relation to other beings. In particular, Gnosticism recognized the innate duality of the human being, for each human being is one human embodiment or incarnation. Now listen to this. They believe, the Gnostics believe that each human being is one human embodiment or incarnation of their own innermost spiritual being. What defines the human being as a being is their relation to their own inner being, the second self or the double. They call it the doppelganger. This relation can be one of intimate inner knowing, the Gnosis or spiritual ignorance. So again, they're tying all this into good, evil, what you know, these things, duality, knowledge of these things. Now the reason I find all of this very interesting is because remember it just said that they believe that each human being is an incarnation of a spiritual self. And I believe they believe that these spiritual selves have had a consciousness before. Now, this is, I'm bringing up, this is an email and I want everybody to see it. I'm putting the evidence forth here. I wrote Zen an email in, this was back in August. And I said, and this is what I said, Zen, I've been getting emails from people asking if human beings are really fallen angels. Then I watched a video of Jonathan Clek teaching this nonsense and saying that if you don't receive what he is teaching, then you have committed the impartable sin. Now, I've already had a check morning in my spirit about Clek, his entire story getting saved
and meeting the Michael Archangel who told him to pray a Hail Mary was enough of a red flag to me. I said here, please tell me that you do not believe and teach this unscriptural doctrine Clek is pushing. I don't see this in scripture. In fact, it's easy to prove the opposite. Human beings are not fallen angels. Psalm 82 does not teach that and we must be put into context with other passages. I've heard that you also believe and have taught this doctrine. I don't know if that is a rumor that comes from you having Clek on your show or because you have taught this doctrine. However, as a brother in Christ, because I know that you do not have the same spirit as Clek, I pray that you'll turn from this air and denounce it. This association with Clek's teaching is harming your ministry of witness for the Lord Jesus and your great work on biblical cosmology. And due to the many questions and emails I receive, I'm going to have to address this publicly and I would like to be able to say that Zen does not accept and has denounced this error. So I sent this to him before I went public with this. So here's the answer that I received from Zen. As you can see, this one's showing the date, August 12th, 1201 PM over there on the right, Zen Garcia to Dean. And he says these words right here, I'm going to read it. To be precise, no, I do not teach that we are fallen angels. However, I do teach that we preexisted and that we were in bright nature form prior to our incarnation. Now just remember that he believes in the preexistence of human beings before we were born and that we just came into an incarnate, we came into a flesh body. He said, I can believe I can show that this is also what happened to Adam and Eve and that they were cast out of paradise being transformed in the flesh form. So he doesn't believe that Adam and Eve were spirit, soul, and body in flesh form in the Garden of Eden, even though that is very clear that God formed Adam from the dust of the ground. He formed him a physical body and breathed into that physical body and made Adam a living soul. So already he's got this, this is Gnostic belief system that he's trying to mesh Christianity together with when he says that he believes that Adam and Eve, that they were cast out and being transformed into flesh form were placed in exile here on earth, which is the fallen world and our current state of being also fallen. At the end of this email, I will share with you the scriptures that I believe affirm this and other things I will bring up here as truth. As for Jonathan, Clek, he's talking about, it is my opinion that he is wording his teaching incorrectly. No, Clek's very clear. He believes we are fallen angels. And it says, which is why so many people are coming out against him regarding it because we are not the fallen angels which rebelled
being cast down are the forces of legion in the realm of this day. So again, some weird ideas here and we'll get into this other aspect for a minute. So I wanted everyone to see, that was in August of this year, 2017. That was in August when I, point blank as then, do you teach that we are fallen angels, that we pre-existed and we became an incarnation as fallen angels, we came into human bodies to work out our evil rebellion when we were angels. And plainly you see, Zen denied it. He said, no, no, I do not teach that. So here's a video clip that this is a video, this is Zen's video from like June, June 7th. So this is two months before I asked him, do you teach this? So he was already teaching this in June of 2017. In August I asked him, cause I don't have time to listen to everybody's two and three hour radio shows. So I hadn't heard his radio show. So I asked him, I said, do you teach that we are the fallen angels here to work out, our evil instead of just coming, that we're human beings different from the angels that we receive salvation through and forgiveness of sin by faith in Jesus and his blood. What you're gonna hear in this clip, you're gonna hear, first of all, we're just gonna play it from the beginning. First of all, his intro is weird and it troubles me. There's things that I could just stop and go, okay, this is just weird. But I want you to listen to him. He's gonna talk about duality. He's gonna talk about we are fallen angels in flesh form that we're here through our experiences to work out. I mean, Zen is just flat teaching Gnostic theology, not Christian theology, Gnostic theology. But what I'm getting at is he's teaching it in June on his momentary Zen radio show. Then he tells me in August, he doesn't teach it. He lied, he just flat out lied. So here's the video and it's mainly just, it's video, but it's mainly audio of Zen teaching this. Do you expect us? Most are afraid of unknown depths, skirting shores thinking world flats and with the island girls in celebration of new religion. Nobody led me. Or said this way, I sailed alone on makeshift raft of wind as companion,
fade for deliverance, confidence enough to assess new disposition. Seekers of lost paradise may seem fools to those who never saw the other world. Welcome to momentary Zen with Zen Garcia. Visit www.fallenangels.tv. You're listening to Revolution Radio. 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 also upon the mount of the congregation in the sides of the north. I will ascend above the heights of the clouds and I will be like the most high. Welcome friends. I'm your host Zen Garcia. This is the momentary Zen here on Revolution Radio. And I thank all of you for taking the time to join us. This evening I have some really incredible announcements and also I'm gonna be giving you an update on one of the things that I've been currently working on and spending my past few months focused upon. And that is my newest book, Paradise, the Sides of the North and the Mount of the Congregation. And it is based upon this particular passage. And in my opinion, what I'm bringing forth in this book, tied to it is the third book of the Flat Earth Infirmament trilogy. And it will be detailing in great elaboration as to how the earth is structured, these seven heavens, the earth being the plane upon which heaven and shield meet. And this is why we have these two aspects of duality that of spirituality and that of the carnality of the physical world coming together in union. And we see that the duality merges here upon the earth and that the wickedness of the devils and demons which inhabit shield that the earth is the meeting place for the angelic hierarchy, the heavenly hosts which serve the most high God. And these aspects, these seven heavens,
they come together below the firmament to meet and join with the plane of the earth. And then below that you have the seven levels of hell. And so this is why we here caught up in flesh form even though we are angelic beings, we are incarnating into flesh form. And it is through the knowledge of good and evil that we are taught the lessons of life and that the fullness of the spectrum which is pain and pleasure, we are relegated to experiencing all of those emotions and the various sense experiences that sight, sound, hearing, smell, taste, all of those things because we are caught up in flesh form that these are the sense experiences which we utilize to interact and to relate with this world. And then there are those that have what some people term ESP or extra sensory perception, just a sensitivity to energy or a heightened sense of awareness that are able to feel sense the spiritual world and the overlap of these inter-dimensionalities as they merge because one is overlaid atop the other. And so we have these spiritual beings in moment and upon and all around us here in this world without realization and just as. Okay, and that's enough. I mean, that one, that was about six minutes or so including his intro there and you heard it. I mean, it couldn't have been more clear that he said, we are fallen angels in flesh form here to work out through the knowledge of good and evil, our evil or wickedness. I mean, this is what Jonathan Kleck was teaching. This is now what I see Zen Carcia teaching but as he spoke about the duality, as he spoke about, I mean, stuff like the seven heavens, that's not in the Bible. The Bible doesn't speak about seven heavens, three, period.
That comes from this Gnosticism and these ancient esoteric occult religions. Seven, you know, the seven realms of hell, that's another again myth. Now hell does have different facets to it but there are biblical facets. It never says there's seven in the Bible. So again, even in this, even in this talking about duality, talking about us being spiritual emanations or incarnations that we are fallen angels. He said it. I mean, did you hear it Kevin? Or is it just me? He said, we are angels in flesh form. I mean, no, we're not. Human beings and angels are two different aspects of God's creation. It's just absolutely ridiculous. But again, this goes back to ancient Gnosticism. This goes back to ancient occult religions, mystery religions, goddess worship, whether it be Ashtoreth or whatever. I mean, it just, again, mind blowing stuff to me. But again, I still tried, you know, and I found this after the fact. So now let's go to, I guess we can go, we're gonna skip over and we'll play the clip now, the video if you can, I'll give you a second. We're not in a hurry, we have 45 minutes tonight. But this is the clip now moving, and this was just a bridge too far here. Not just the fact that, you know, we went down the cane serpent seat error, not biblical, coming from the Gnostic doctrine, you know, gospels of Philip and Thomas and the Zohar, the occult, Jewish mysticism. But then we go down this road that we're the fallen angels incarnating in flesh form and working things out. Do you notice he never mentioned the blood of Jesus in that whole little description of human beings fighting these spiritual entities? Oh, and the fact that he got into there, people having ESP and being sensitive to these things. Look, if you have ESP, if you have psychic abilities outside of being born again Christian and filled with the Holy Spirit and operating the gifts of the spirit, you're operating in witchcraft, you're operating in the demonic realm. I mean, psychics, fortune tellers and mediums are not the same as a born again Christian with the Holy Spirit blowing him. And he puts no difference. It's just weird, man. I'm telling you, it's weird. And I listened to more. I listened to that whole program and it never gets cleared up. So this is, I mean, it's almost like you're tuning into, you know, one of these new age witchcraft shows and you get a little hodgepodge of, you know, a little bit of this religion, a little bit of that religion, let's mix it all together and just come up with our own. You know, it's interesting, his introduction said,
you know, island girls in search of new religion. And I'm just sitting there going, what the heck is he talking about? You know, it's, what I'm amazed at is that, you know, I just came across then in recent times and I hadn't been able to dig into all this stuff. What I'm blown away is the people that knew, that listened to him for a long time. And I'm talking about Christians that didn't catch these things or somehow just didn't think these things were, you know, weird, strange, dangerous or off, just far off out into mysticism. And as you're gonna hear, we're gonna play this. This is the clip from, I guess right around the November 11th or so, when he started, he did a three-part series on the Holy Spirit being feminine Sophia, which I'm just, I almost don't have words for this. I'm just so blown away. But I just wanted you to hear just, this is shorter than the last clip, it's about three minutes. So you don't think it's just me making this stuff up. I mean, this is him saying it plain and simple, that the Holy Spirit, the feminine part of the Trinity, the Holy Spirit is, and then we'll get into the rest of our time dealing with that scripturally, biblically, is the Holy Spirit of the heavenly Father feminine? I mean, think about that. So that's like me saying, I have a spirit, a soul, and a body. And I've taught this many times. First Thessalonians 5, 23, the Bible teaches every human being has a spirit, a soul, and a body. That would be like saying my spirit is feminine. No, it's not. That's confusion. That's demonic. That would be a lie. Every aspect of me, I am male, whether it be spirit, soul, or body, I'm male. I'm not confused. I know what bathroom to use. All right, so let's play this clip and we'll delve into this. Thank you. Welcome, friends. I'm your host, Zen Garcia. This is Momentary Zen here on Revolution Radio. And I thank all of you again for giving me your attention and allowing me to have you as audience so that we can share introspection into all things esoteric. And specifically, this has been a topic which has been on the forefront of the alternative truth Christian community with regard to the Godhead and to specifically whether the Holy Spirit is considered male or female.
And it is in my opinion that it is self-evident that she portrays herself as being a she within scripture, which makes sense according to the Godhead when you realize that humanity being made in the image of the Holy Trinity that it says even for the pre-Adamites in Genesis 1, 26 through 28 that they were made male and female in the image of God Elohim, the Holy Trinity and that the entire creation itself is also in the image of the Most High God created in the duplicity of male and female aspect. But for whatever reason, there's tremendous opposition to this as teaching. It's another one of those things I don't really, I don't. And of course, Dan says there, he doesn't understand why there's opposition to this teaching. All right, and here you go. If you will, brother, go ahead and bring up my screen and I'll share some things here. Of course, this is the video you were just hearing and he goes into it. Again, there's parts one, two, and three of the feminine aspect of the Godhead and Sophia. And of course, here's where I wrote him about this. I said, Sophia, feminine, Holy Spirit. I said, calling the Holy Spirit of the Heavenly Father feminine and Sophia is not only gross error and misrepresentation or misinterpretation of the Bible, it is blasphemy of the Holy Spirit. How is it a serious error to call the Holy Spirit feminine and Sophia when the Bible references the Holy Spirit as wisdom and Sophia? I mean, this is him trying to answer me and he's trying to say the Bible calls her Sophia and all this and I told him, I said, you're not stick occultism is clothed in Christian lingo and it'll lead others. But again, this is him defending his saying that the Bible teaches this and that Sophia is the Greek word in the English for wisdom. Yeah, but that doesn't mean it's the Holy Spirit, the Godhead, the part of the Trinity. So let's look at this. Let me just look at a few verses here. First of all, one of the things that's brought up and we'll get to this in a second is that there are in the Hebrew language,
there are words that are feminine and masculine. Any Hebrew scholar that really knows anything about the language will tell you that just because something may be a feminine noun or a masculine noun doesn't mean that it's actually that in reality, can be, it doesn't have to be. The same is in Greek, but one of the big contentions is that when you say the Holy Spirit or Ruach that the word Ruach in Hebrew is feminine. Well, that's true, but it doesn't mean that the Holy Spirit is feminine. That's a bit of a stretch. In fact, the term Holy Spirit, as I'm gonna show you in a minute, the word kodesh in Hebrew is masculine. So you would, when you say Holy Spirit, you're literally having a masculine word and a feminine word. But again, that's not denoting anything. We've got to look at what the Scriptures teach about this. So let's go, these are just, I'm gonna go through a few Scriptures, particularly here in the New Testament, but Matthew 10, 20, these are all from the King James Version. For it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father which speaketh in you. I thought this was just a very interesting, the Spirit of your Father. Now, for me, folks, I understand the Trinity in this way that you have one God who has three distinct parts and just as He created us in His image, the spirit, soul, and body, that He has three distinct parts, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, but they are one. To say that one aspect of that oneness is female is just makes no sense whatsoever. Not to mention the fact that the Bible is very clear in Matthew chapter one, that it was the Holy Spirit who came upon Mary and caused Mary to conceive, to have Jesus. So if Jesus is the, if Jesus taken on human flesh being conceived and being put in the womb of a physical woman named Mary was done by the Holy Spirit, then you would have to say that, if it's not the Spirit of the Father, if they're not one, then Jesus, the heavenly Father, Yahweh, is not the Father of Jesus. I mean, you start getting all kind of confused, or if you say the Holy Spirit's feminine and came upon Mary and that's how she was conceived, then you got a weird lesbian thing going on there. So none of this makes any sense. But let's go John 15.26, I'm gonna show you the word comforter here in just a second, but he says, Jesus said, John 15.26, but when the comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceeded from the Father, He shall testify of me. Now, of course, they all argue that he can be he or she,
but again, the translators knew what they were doing. The word comforter, by the way, in Greek, is a masculine noun. We'll show you that in just a second, but let's read a few more verses here. John 16.13, how be it when he, the Spirit of truth is come, he will guide you into all truth, for he shall not speak of himself, but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak, and he will show you things to come. Let's keep going. I like this Romans 8.9, but ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now, if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. Now, this verse makes the Spirit of God and the Spirit of Christ the same thing. See, this is why you can't, the Holy Spirit is the Spirit of Christ Jesus. Is Jesus Christ feminine? No, he's male. It's so clear. It makes it clear. The Father is male. The Son is male. The Holy Spirit is not feminine. And it makes the two interchangeable here. The Spirit of God is also the Spirit of Christ. So you cannot make the Holy Spirit feminine and also be the Spirit of Christ who Jesus became, Jesus is a man, clearly a man, became a physical man. I mean, that's everything that the gospel is built upon that God became man, a man, a real physical man and dwelt among us and lived a sinless life and then died in the flesh on the cross as the sacrifice for our sins and rose bodily from the grave and ascended to heaven and will return. So here, the Spirit of God and the Spirit of Christ is the same thing. Romans 8, 11, just a couple of verses down, it says, but if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you. Second Corinthians 3, 17, now the Lord is that Spirit and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there's liberty. So he's saying the Lord is the Spirit. So the Father is the Spirit. He's the Son. When Jesus said, Philip, if you've seen me, you've seen the Father. I mean, he was playing there. Let's go through a few more verses here. Galatians 4, 6, you might wanna put that up where they can see it better. Galatians 4, 6, he says, and because you are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father. I mean, do we have the Spirit of the Son and this feminine Holy Spirit, or is it one Spirit? The Spirit of the Father,
the Spirit of the Son, the Holy Spirit. God is one. He has one Spirit, and no part of that is feminine. That's not to slight women. These are just the facts. And folks, let me just tell you right now, he said that he refers to the church, the born again believers, the body of believers that will be redeemed at the resurrection and judgment day at the end of time is the bride of Christ. I mean, what, is there some other woman up there that we're gonna have to contend with? I mean, it's ridiculous. Again, ridiculous. Let's look at this. Again, Galatians 4, 6, God has sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts. So we have the Spirit of God, the Spirit of the Father, the Spirit of Christ, the Spirit of his Son, he sent into our hearts. Philippians 1, 9, for I know that this shall turn to my salvation through your prayer and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ. So another term for the Holy Spirit is comforter. You have the Spirit of truth, you have the Spirit of grace. He has many names. And here's another one, the Spirit of Jesus Christ. The Holy Spirit is referred to as the Spirit of Jesus Christ. Is Jesus Christ feminine? No. 1 Peter 1, 11. Searching what or what matter of time the Spirit of Christ, which was in them, did signify when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ and the glory that should follow. Here he's talking about the Spirit of Christ being in the Old Testament Hebrew prophets like Isaiah, Malachi, all the rest of them. Daniel, Ezekiel, Jeremiah, the ones that testified of Christ, Micah that foretold he would be born in Bethlehem. He said that it was the Spirit of Christ, not Sophia, not the feminine, not a feminine spirit. Here's the words here. Just so you can see, you wanna say Ruach or just the word spirit is a feminine noun. Okay, well you could take the term spirit and apply it to good spirits and bad spirits. So really the word spirit by itself is just general. But when you take the word and make it Holy Spirit, even in the Old Testament, Ruach kodesh, when you put those two words together, you have kodesh is a masculine noun.
You can see it there. So which is it? See, if you start going down this road, you can just get all kind of messed up and mixed up, but it's not confusing. And over to your far right there, the word parakletos is the Greek word that's translated in English in our Bibles as comforter. It's pretty clear here that the comforter or the parakletos, which is the Holy Spirit, here you have in the New Testament, a clear masculine noun when he is called the comforter, the parakletos, masculine noun. So here's these passages. Now let me just bring this up and let me just deal with this real quick. All right, one of the main things that they bring up, of course, is they go back to Proverbs chapter eight and they talk about how wisdom in Proverbs eight is personified in the book of Proverbs, personified as her, as female. All right, but what people forget is, is that one of the things that Proverbs is all about was Solomon in his wisdom and the Holy Spirit moving through him to give wisdom to us, used many comparisons of things, the fool and the wise and the rich and the poor. And I mean, he would go back and forth, the righteous versus the unrighteous, the scourner versus the humble and the prideful versus the humble. And there was this constant play back and forth to give you comparison between right and wrong. Well, if you look at Proverbs seven, he gives you this whole story about this, a whole just discussion about stay away from the whore, stay away from the evil woman, stay away from the woman that would try to draw you into sin. And so he goes into eight and he talks about wisdom and he personifies wisdom as female. All he's doing there is comparing stay away from the wicked represented by the whore versus wisdom represented as a virtuous woman. He's just giving you a comparison. And that's what's mind blowing is that when people can't figure these things out, for instance, there's a New Testament comparison. I mean, you look at the New Testament and you see the body of Christ, the true born again Christians that have been washed in the blood of Jesus, you see them as called the chaste, the virgin, the virtuous bride of Jesus Christ. Compared to, you go to Revelation 17 and 18, compared to this whore clothed in scarlet and purple who rides a beast and that she's drunk
with the blood of the saints and the martyrs of Jesus. And she commits fornication with the kings of the earth. What do we have there? We have a comparison. Listen, the great whore mystery Babylon is not a real woman, folks. No more than wisdom is a real woman in Proverbs 8. It is a comparison between the adulterous and the virtuous woman. We have the same comparison in the New Testament, the bride of Christ washed in the blood of the lamb and the Babylonian whore, the one who is compromised, the one who is full of idolatry, the one who is full of the blood of the saints and the martyrs of Jesus, which I believe is the Vatican, the Roman church, the Roman Catholic church. So you see, you've got a comparison, the true church and the false church. Same comparison in Proverbs. The whore, Proverbs 7, the virtuous woman, Proverbs 8. And the virtuous woman is to talk about having wisdom and virtue and being precious. And it's just a comparison. I mean, we get the same comparison. I mean, if you go to 2 Corinthians 11, where Paul said, look, my job as an apostle of the Lord Jesus Christ is to present you, and he was talking about the church of Corinth, to present you as a chaste virgin to Christ, that your minds won't be beguiled from following Jesus as Eve was beguiled in the Garden of Eden from following the Lord. So these are comparison. Listen, just because I do believe the Bible should be taken literally as possible doesn't mean that I don't believe there are not metaphors and similes and comparisons and parables in the Bible. This is very clear. But you don't just get to make up your own that you want to just make up. So, but here's what's dangerous. And I'm gonna flip over here and you can pull this and put my screen back up here if you would, Kevin. But if you pull this up, you could just look up. It's one thing, and I'll say this, and I'll try to be as nice as I possibly can. And Kevin, in a minute, if you will, we'll go to Matthew 12, so I'm gonna show something here. But here, I just pulled up some websites beforehand. This is Gnostic Goddess, you know, these are their sites telling you where this stuff's coming from. But I wanted you to see, it's one thing to say, okay. I think, you know, people could say, okay, because maybe in the Old Testament, the Ruach, the Hebrew word for spirit is feminine, so maybe the Holy Spirit's feminine.
I could see where you can start going down the wrong road with that. Then I could see, you know, we can come over in the New Testament and I could see where you could say, okay, well, you know, the word he there is, it could be he or she, so we could translate it either way. Okay, I can see where you could start getting off there too. Even though the word spirit, numa, in the New Testament is not feminine in the Greek, it's neuter, it's neutral. But I could see where you could start going down that road. But the moment that you say that not only is the Holy Spirit of Almighty God part of the Godhead, the moment you say that part of the Godhead is feminine and Sophia, you have just taken a doctrine of a demon. You've just taken the name of a demon goddess of a false religion and you have applied it to the Holy Spirit. There's no other definition there than blasphemy. I mean, I pulled up these Gnostic websites. Here's a Gnostic warrior on Sophia and they tell you right here, both modern and traditional, well, let's just read some of this. Her name is Sophia and she has also returned an important light bringer to the world. Gnostics, the Gnostics depicted Sophia as the personification of divine wisdom, as one of the eons, the personifications of the mind of God that comprise the eternal realm. Sophia is seen as defiant and falling being in some narratives, but anyway, beyond this, the Gnostics see Sophia as the personification of divine wisdom or the goddess. Now, why is this so huge, folks? Because right now in the world, in this end time deception, the New Age religion, the religion of Wicca, the religion of pushing this radical feminist agenda is all about trying to push forth the divine goddess, Gaia, Lilith, Sophia. And what's even more interesting is that, and I got into a little bit of it Sunday and I posted some stuff yesterday about it, but when you start talking about the image of the beast and it looks like the Bible talks about there's gonna be the beast world government, there's gonna be the beast man who runs and leads the world government. Then you talk about the second beast
that's a religious leader that works with him, the false prophet, so you know that's the final pope. But then he talks about the image of the beast that's made alive, that they cause to speak. And I talked about the image of the beast, what it looks like to me is gonna be, that's connected with the mark of the beast, which is a financial system that's all digital and implanted and in control, no cash. All of that in Revelation 13, I said, I've come to realize, now I've wondered for years, what would the image of the beast be? And now it all makes sense, that artificial intelligence, now this thing with the blockchain and Bitcoin and all this stuff is going to set up the system that's going to be able to track everybody and control all buying and selling. And again, that's not what tonight is about, we'll get into that in more depth in the days ahead. But what's interesting in the part of that, toward the end of the chapter, in Revelation 13, when he's talking about the beast, he says, here is wisdom, let him count the number of the beast. For there's the number of a man and his number is 600, three score and six, which is 666. The word when he says here is wisdom is the Greek word sophia, here is sophia. So the first artificial intelligence robot that's now become a citizen of Saudi Arabia, and obviously has a, from what they say is, has a quantum computers going to use quantum computing. We're looking at the fulfillment of these things, but do you think that there's any coincidence between the fact that we're seeing people like Zen Garcia and other Christians begin to fall into error, believing the Holy Spirit is feminine and Sophia and getting into this Gnostic esoteric occult mysticism and falling for these lies and these doctrines of demons and even blaspheming the Holy Spirit. And then you see the world creating the system that will be the image of the beast and the mark of the beast and their first robot that has artificial intelligence and quantum computing is named Sophia. I don't believe it's a coincidence at all whatsoever. And you see the rise of radical feminism promoting that God is a woman. And that was part of the, when Marmar stood up and interrupted my sermon at the Flat Earth Conference, one of the things she said after she started talking about the Qur'an, then she went in and said, God was a woman. And I'm like, then you have to understand, this is the lie they're trying to push and this is blasphemy. So let's go, let's put this up here. Let's go to Matthew 12. And, you know, I've never been told that I water it down and I'm not about to water it down or back up from this, but Matthew 12.
I said it a minute ago and I'm gonna say it again. Jesus made this statement, we're gonna read it. Let's see, we'll go over to, I guess we'll go to Matthew 12, go to verse 22. We'll read from there. Jesus was casting a demon out of, so they brought him one possessed with a devil. All right, let's read this. This is Matthew 12, 22. Then was brought unto him one possessed with a devil, blind and dumb, and he healed him in so much that the blind and dumb both spake and saw. And all the people were amazed and said, is not this the son of David? But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, this fellow doth not cast out devils, but by Beelzebub, the prince of the devils. And Jesus knew their thoughts and said unto them, every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation, and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand. And if Satan cast out Satan, he is divided against himself, how shall then his kingdom stand? But if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your children cast them out? Therefore, they shall be your judgers. He said, but if I cast out devils by the spirit of God, then the kingdom of God has come unto you. Or else how can one enter into a strong man's house and spoil his goods, except he first bind the strong man. Then he will spoil his house. He that is not with me is against me, and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad. Wherefore I say unto you, all manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men, but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men. And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him, but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him neither in this world, neither in the world to come. Now, in the context of this passage, what were they doing? Jesus was casting demons out, operating in the power and authority and anointing of the Holy Spirit of God, saying, I cast out demons by the spirit of God. And the Pharisees came and said, no, you cast out demons by Beelzebub. So they put the name of a demon God on the Holy Spirit. When you say Sophia, the goddess, the Gnostic goddess of wisdom, the personification of wisdom, the demon goddess of wisdom is the Holy Spirit. You are blaspheming the Holy Spirit. This is so serious. I can't even, I can't even believe I've got to say it about someone that I truly love and respect in the sense that I just,
there's so much good that could have come from sin, but this is just down the road. I'll end with this, and I could have brought it. I should have brought my wife's yearbook tonight. I forgot to bring it, it's in bag at home. But my wife, Nancy, went to high school with Zen who then was Pete Garcia before he got the nickname Zen. And my wife's best friend's name was Don, and Zen, or Pete Garcia dated Don. And so, you know, they were acquaintances. They knew each other, they knew, you know, I don't, Nancy said she didn't know him really, really that well. She knew him basically through Don. But she knew, and Don knew. And I, you know, I pointed it out to him. You know, Zen was deep into new age mysticism and occultism and just everything beforehand. And he even admits, I found out that where he got his nicknames in, he taught martial arts before his accident. And he got his students to read a book on Zen Buddhism. And so they started calling him Zen Garcia instead of Pete Garcia. And then of course, not after that, he was at some, you know, yoga place, learning yoga and Reiki and all this other stuff. Zen was deeply involved in occultism, mysticism, new age, Eastern religion, Hinduism, Buddhism. And what I firmly believe is that, I believe he came to know Jesus as his Lord and Savior, but he never got delivered from all those demonic strongholds of his past. And over time, they've been able to lead him astray into these areas. And it could happen to any of us. I'm not sitting here thinking, you know, we're all high and mighty and this could, it could happen to anybody. But this is it. I mean, this is the reality. This is where we are. And I know some people out there, some of you watching and listening, you've been shocked, you know, and I mean, I had one person come on just like, really, I can't believe this people are falling left and right. Yeah. I mean, Jesus said, this is, you know, right before. I mean, you know, I won't say the name of the person, but right before we go on the air tonight, before we go live, I get a phone call, you know, brothers upset because a pastor that helped him, brought him to the Lord and years ago, he just found out this pastor just committed suicide. More than likely was on psychotropic, you know, antidepressant, whatever flavor of the month, you know, medication they want to prescribe for people.
Now this is serious stuff. Life and death, I mean, what we believe, what we're going to stand for. And if we're going to stick to the Bible, we're going to stick to the word of God. If we're going to fight the demons or we're going to give into the world system. I think about this pastor committed suicide. More than likely he was on these medications because he talked to this brother about being on the medications. And that, you know, so when you start looking at that, you start seeing these people out there who instead of going to God's word and standing for the truth and binding the demons and casting out demons and resisting the devil and getting free, they end up going, whether it be to drugs or to, you know, mixing other religions or other healing, you know, alternative medicine and healing things that they don't even realize they're getting into the demonic realm. And people end up, people end up dying. People end up leaving this world before they should or they end up blaspheming the Holy Spirit. They end up leading others astray. I mean, this is, Jesus said, Matthew 12, he said that many would be deceived in the end. He said, many would come. He said, you know, false prophets would rise. He said, they would come in his name and deceive many. And the only way that, listen, everybody out there, you watch it listening. The only way to know that you're not deceived is you got to know the word of God for yourself. You got to know the Spirit of God inside you. You got to know that you're born again, that Jesus Christ of Nazareth who died on the cross and rose from the dead, God in the flesh, the fullness of the Godhead bodily it says in Colossians 2. You have to know he's your Lord and Savior and that through faith, because of your faith in receiving the gospel message that you've been born again, you felt him come in, wash your sins away and save you and make you a new creature. I mean, you got to know that. And then after that, you got to stick to the word of God. You can't follow a teacher, a preacher, a church, a denomination, not above the word of God, you can't. You know, Paul said this, he even told his, you know, first Corinthians four, he said, follow me as I follow Christ. Meaning you better make sure I'm following Christ. How do I know if I'm following Christ? Well, I'll be following him according to the scriptures, not my own ideas, not Gnostic writings and teachings. I will follow him according to the scriptures or I'm not following him. If I veer from the word of God, if I veer from these 66 books, if I start adding to and taking from it, if I start adding in Gnosticism or new age or Hinduism or Buddhism, if I start adding in all of these things,
occult mysticism, Freemasonry, whatever, if I start adding these things in, then I am no longer following Christ, I am following a deceiving spirit. I mean, that's what first, you know, first Timothy, we got time for it, first Timothy four, first Timothy four, verse one, the Holy Spirit came strongly upon the apostle Paul and said this, now the spirit speaketh expressly that in the latter times or the last days, some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits and doctrines of devils. Depart from the faith. There are Christians departing from the faith. I heard a girl and I put it up, you know, a few weeks ago, a girl claimed to be a Christian, she does not believe in eternal hell, a real hell where people, there will be people who go to eternal damnation. She said the blood of Jesus, the blood atonement was crap and that you did not need the blood atonement of Jesus to be forgiven, to have forgiveness of sins. This is a person claiming to be a Christian. No, they have departed from the faith. They have departed from the faith of scripture. They've departed from it. They have their own version, their own brand, their own ideas, their own theology. It's not according to this. She even went off on the Bible. The Bible is full of errors. So she doesn't even have a foundation, but she claims to be a Christian. No, she's departed from the faith completely. Well, folks, I don't care if it's your favorite teacher on truth frequency radio or revolution or whatever radio or blog talk radio or anywhere else. If they start talking this crazy stuff, the Holy Spirit is feminine, the mother in the Trinity and Sophia, run. This is not Bible. This is Gnosticism. This is false religion. This is false teaching. This is the doctrine of demons. And only more is coming. Only more is coming. So don't anyone think out there or dare accuse me that I don't love them. I'm very disturbed. I'm very upset. I'm very sad. I'm very disappointed that it had to come to this. But I believe what's happening within the church and also within the Flat Earth community and movement, the lion is being drawn in the sand now. You're either gonna become biblical, true creation,
true Bible-believing Christians following the Bible, or you're gonna continue to drift off into this new age, anti-Christ spirit, gobbly gook nonsense and Gnosticism and everything else. And right now, Zen Garcia is one of the leading deceivers in the Flat Earth movement and within Christianity and the alternative in the truther community. Yeah, he teaches a lot of things that are true. But these things now, he's getting off, they're so bad, he just can't ignore it anymore. So anyway, I hope you guys have been blessed tonight. I know we're about out of time. I'm sorry for our little bit of delay and a few little hiccups getting back in. We had a month off or more. So we had a few little hiccups getting back started again. But I wanna say thank you to Garrett Crawford, GMC, Tribulation Music, he gave me permission to use some of his music. You guys check out his album, Last of the Real. Man, it's blessing me, it's awesome. Also, anyway, a lot going on. You guys be praying for us. We'll be back here Sunday morning, 11 a.m. Central Standard Time, Fire and Grace Church. Don't know what I'll be preaching, but I'll be here ready to roll. So anyway, I guess me and Kevin, we're gonna get out of here. God bless y'all, stand strong, stay in the word of God, stay true to the word of God, study it and keep your foundation solid. God bless.
