A Sermon by Reverend Hollis Ray Mathis

reetings, holy children of God, in the wonderful name of our lord and saviour Jesus, the Christ. The sermon subject for today is:

Women, and the Christian Religion

In the beginning before the sun, and the moon was created: God the father spoke and he took his word, and he shaped the word and he formed the word in such a way, that the word of God became the son of God. Jesus Christ is the only begotten son of God. The only God ever formed, or ever shall be formed. Isaiah 43:l0 ye are my witnesses, saith the Lord, and my servant whom I have chosen : that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me. 11. I, even i, am the Lord : and besides me there is no saviour. St. John 1:l in the beginning was the word, and the word was with God, and the word was God. When God the father shaped, and formed Jesus Christ he shaped and formed Jesus in his express image. Therefore, when you see the Lord Jesus Christ, he will appear exactly as the father. Hebrews 1:l God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, 2. Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds: 3. Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the majesty on high. Saints of God, when Jesus Christ found himself in the form of God, he also found that God the father had formed him equal to himself. For any two things to be equal they must be identical. Therefore was Jesus the same size as the father? Did he have the same power as the father? was he of the same substance as the father? Yes, Jesus Christ, the only begotten son of God, was created identical to the father. Jesus Christ is the first born of every creature, and God the father created all things by Jesus Christ. The apostle paul was inspired of God to record the following scriptures about Christ Jesus. Philippians 2:6 who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God. Notice in this scriptures Jesus is the first born of every creature. Colossians 1:l4 in whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins. 15. Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature. 16. 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. 17. And he is before all things and by him all things consist. 18. 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. 19. For it pleased the father that in him should all fulness dwell. Ephesians 3:9 and to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ. Saints of God, come into this knowledge, we serve an awesome God, for Jesus Christ, the only begotten son of God created the sun, and the moon, and the stars and placed them in space in one day. Jesus Christ, the anointed one, created the dry land, and the seas, in one day. Jesus Christ, the messiah, created Adam, and placed within him: the whole human race, in one day. I mention this first of all to glorify the Lord Jesus, but I mention these facts also that when you pray, know as a fact that Jesus Christ is able to grant your petition. Jesus Christ created Adam of the dust of the ground. And God saw that it was not good for man to be alone, for that reason God created woman to be a help meet for the man. In the beginning was man and woman created equal? for man and woman to have been created equal they would have had to be created identical. Genesis 2:l8 and the Lord God said, it is not good that the man should be alone: I will make him an help meet for him. Verse 2l. And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept : and he took one his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof. 22. And the rib, which the Lord God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man. Holy children, Let me point out two important facts, the first is that adam was first formed, he is the first born : the second fact that I would Like to point out is, that man was not made for the woman: but the woman was made for the man. When the man and woman were first formed they Lived in a paradise called Eden. And the man Adam had been placed in the garden to tend it and to keep it. And, there was no death at that time. God had gave Adam a commandment that he could eat of every tree of the garden, except the tree which was in the midst of the garden, which was the tree of knowledge of good and evil. For in the day that he eat of that tree he would surely die. Genesis 2:l6 and the Lord God commanded the man, saying of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat. 17. But of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it : for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die. Children of Lght, the enemy of all mankind, satan the devil, was in the garden of eden, and he began to tempt the woman. Remember this children of God, satan uses the commandments of God, as a weapon to destroy the children of God. Romans 6:23 for the wages of sin is death: but the gift of God is eternal Lfe through Jesus Christ our Lord. Satan asked the woman, eve this question, I quote "yea, hath God said, ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?and the woman said unto the serpent, the devil : I quote "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 hath said, ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, Lst ye die." and the serpent said unto the woman, ye shall not surely die. For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as Gods, 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 to her husband with her and he did eat. Beloved of God, the wages of sin is death, and payday comes to all mankind. We shall all stand before God, and give an account of the things that we do while in this tabernacle of flesh. Lsten as I read to you the judgment that came on eve. Genesis 3:8 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. 9. And the Lord God called unto Adam, and said unto him, where art thou?l0. And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked: and I hid my self. L. And he said, who told thee that thou wast naked? hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat? 12. And the man said, the woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat. And the Lord said unto the woman, what is this that 13. And the Lord said unto the woman, what is this thou hast done? and the woman said, the serpent beguiled me, and I did eat. And the Lord God said unto the serpent, because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field: upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy Life. Verse 16. Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children: and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee. Saints of God, can women teach men the holy scriptures?yes in some denominations women teach men regularly. But can women teach men Legally according to God's Laws?no, they cannot. Why not? because Adam was first formed, and then eve. By birth right men should teach. Secondly, the woman was deceived, but the man was not. 1 Timothy 2:ll Let your women Learn in silence with all subjection. 12. But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. 13. For Adam was first formed, then eve. 14. And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression. Beloved of God, can women be ordained as pastors, and evangelist? Yes, some denominations ordain women as pastors, and evangelist. But can they Legally be ordained as pastors, and evangelist according to God's Laws? no they cannot for they are not to usurp authority over the man. And, women are to be silence in the church. 1 Corinthians 14:34 Lt your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak: but the are commanded to be under obedience, as also saith the Law. 35. And if they will Learn any thing, Let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church. Brothers, and sisters in Christ a man can put his wife away for fornication, and remarry without committing the sin of adultery. But a woman cannot. As Long as her husband Lves if she marries she shall be called an adulteress. And adultery is the number one reason Listed in the works of the flesh as to why people will not inherit the kingdom of God. Romans 7:l know ye not, brethren, ( for I speak to them that know the Law,) how that the Law hath dominion over a man as Long as he liveth 2. For the woman which hath an husband is bound by the Law to her husband so Long as he Liveth: but if the husband be dead, she is Loosed from the Law of her husband. 3. So then if while her husband Liveth, she be married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress: but if her husband be dead, she is free from that Law : so that she is no adulteress, though she be married to another man. St. Matthew 19:7 they say unto him, why did Moses then command to give a writing of divorcement, and to put her away? 8. He saith unto them, Moses because of the hardness of your hearts suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so. 9. And I say unto you, whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her that is put away doth commit adultery. Saints of God, in the book of Esther, though king Ahasuerus, had great power, he reigned from India, to Ethiopia, over a hundred and seven and twenty provinces. Yet when he sent for his wife Vashti to come to his feast, that the princes might see her great beauty: she refused. And because of her refusal she Lost her royal estate. Jesus Christ though he has the power to place the sun, and the moon, and the stars in space: yet when the Lord commands the woman to cover her head when she prays, they will not.1 Corinthians L:5 but every woman that prayeth or prophesieth with her head uncovered dishonoureth her head : for that is even all one as if she were shaven. 6. For if the woman be not covered, Let her also be shorn: but if it be a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaven, Let her be covered. Beloved, is it possible that a woman may preach, and teach, men and some be saved, and she herself be a castaway? i believe that the answer to that is yes, because if a person intents to receive the crown of Life, they must strive Lawfully. 1 Corinthians 9:27 ( the apostle paul was inspired of God to record these words ) but I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: Lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway. 1 Timothy 2:5 and if a man also strive for masteries, yet is he not crowned, except he strive Lawfully.
