(outline of Pastor Anderson's sermon)
...or click here to listen to the sermon!
Introduction: Explanation of In Vitro Fertilization
1. Murder
Exodus 20:13 Thou shalt not kill.
Isa 7:14 Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.
Mat 1:23 Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.
Therefore, "conceive" = "be with child"
Hos 9:11 As for Ephraim, their glory shall fly away like a bird, from the birth, and from the womb, and from the conception.
Psa 100:3 Know ye that the LORD he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.
-- Conception: the world has an alternate definition of "implantation."
-- The Bible clears that up with the phrase, "conceive seed"
-- death for the handicapped
-- euthanasia
2. Perverting Nature
Proverbs 30 (four things that are wonderful)
Leviticus 18 & 20 (God lists the wicked sins of the Canaanites)
Romans 1
Acts 13:10 ("wilt thou not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord")
-- Perverted doctors
-- Get the sermon on Sodomites
-- The sin of perverting nature is a more wicked sin than that of murder
-- Approximately 2.3 million couples will go to a IVF clinic
-- 27,000 IVF procedures done each year in this country
-- IFB preacher counseled a couple to use IVF
3. Stealing
Psa 127:3 Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward.
Malachi 3:10 ("Will a man rob God")
Isaiah 14:12 (Lucifer)
-- Where's my reward, God?
-- Will a man rob God?
-- Sissified preachers
-- Wicked sin to reward yourself
-- God says, "I will open the womb."
4. Putting Yourself in the Place of God
Genesis 29:31 (Rachel was barren)
Genesis 30:2 ("Am I in God's stead ...")
Genesis 30:22 ("And God remembered Rachel ...")
Hebrews (Esau)
Genesis 3 (Devil)
Genesis 6 (giants)
-- The sin of satan
-- Jacob: a great man; "I'm not in the place of God."
-- Esau: profane person and a pervert
-- Sermon on birth control
-- Scientific article: Sunday Star Times, July 10, 2005, "IVF Babies Taller and Slimmer Research Shows."
1. Evolution
2. The Devil
3. Mormonism
4. Charles Darwin
5. Buddhism
6. Hinduism
Common denominator of these 6 points: becoming like God.
-- IVF babies are at least 4 cm taller than other children on average
-- IVF girls taller and slimmer
-- Harriet Miles said, "You can create these babies and they look completely normal, and they're fine."
-- IVF children also have higher levels of high density lipoprotein, and lower overall cholesterol.
-- Adolph Hitler; the master race (Olga & Olaf); he exterminated the inferiors.
-- Man is always trying to tamper with God
5. Advancing the Agenda of Stem Cell Research and Lesbians Getting IVF
2 Chronicles 19:2 ("Shouldest thou help the ungodly, and love them that hate the LORD? ...")
Ephesians 5:11 ("Have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove [them].")
-- Supporting that doctor: more practice; more experience; more research.
-- Lesbians can go adopt children and have families.
-- Perverted, wicked and ungodly
-- mouse cells combined with human embryos
-- Christopher Reeve
6. The Sin of What the Man is Committing in the Clinic
7. Lack of Faith
Psalms 100:3 ("Know ye that the LORD He [is] God ...")
John 1
-- Lack of faith in God
-- God says, "I will curse you …"
-- "Wait on the Lord"
-- "Pray without ceasing"
-- Plan of salvation; being born again; being born of the Father
-- "I will be my own God; I will save myself
-- "You're not going to test tube your way into heaven; it's the gift of God."
