The Sermon On The Mount (Matthew 5-7)

THE SERMON ON THE MOUNT

The following is a series of sermons which I have been preaching since 1987.  According to my records, I have preached this series of sermons twenty times.  My wife and kids have heard these sermons twenty times plus discussions in private.  I offer them to the public in hopes that others, living in places where I will never be allowed to go, might learn the wonderful truths of the Sermon on the Mount.

If people correctly understood and appreciated the Sermon On The Mount, there would be no Seventh Day Adventist churches.  There would be no “No-Exception” brethren splitting congregations and homes.  There would be no premillennialists (neither dispensational premillennialists nor historical premillennialists).  There would be no Christians entangled in civil government or military services.  Do you doubt these claims?  Then study this material for yourself and see what the Lord taught regarding these issues.

The “No-Exception” Doctrine of Divorce and Remarriage

The “No-Exception” Doctrine of Divorce and Remarriage

On Nov 17, 2013, Brother Malcomb Kniffen preached a sermon at the 12th Street Church of Christ in Moore, Oklahoma on the subject of divorce and remarriage.  Brother Malcomb and the 12th Street church both believe the “no-exception” doctrine – that there is absolutely no-exception for divorce and remarriage.  They believe Mt 5:32 and Mt 19:9 are merely clarifications the Old Testament laws regarding divorce and remarriage.  I recorded Brother Malcomb with my voice recorder.  This presentation is a review of the sermon and doctrine which he advanced.

Below are both the transcript and audio presentations of my review.  The transcript is a rough draft.  In the future perhaps someone with enough time and interest will take my rough notes and refine them into a halfway readable and usable document – worthy to be passed on.  However, with short notice and a pressing schedule, I hastily produced my notes and present now my review.
