The First Baptist Church censors God’s word

On the 18th April 2011 we published a video of a Jack Schaap from the First Baptist Church of Hammond in Indiana.  In the video Jack makes it clear that men are the head of the house, and Eve was responsible for the suffering of the world (because she was tricked by a talking snake, then persuaded Adam to eat from the magical “tree of knowledge”).

Well, today the video has been removed by Youtube due to a claim of copyright from the First Baptist Church of Hammond.  We find this rather odd given the statements of Pastor Schaap in the video where he claims it good to see him in the news for it means “the word of god is getting out”.  I guess the word of god is deeply embarrassing at times.

Since I cannot show you the video anymore (although I am hoping it will go viral), I can give you a transcription of the speech.  Behold:

ABC news called me this week and said “We heard that you believe that men should be in charge of their wives”

I said, “No sir, I didn’t say that.  I said God said that. He said husbands are the head of the wife.”

I said, “You got a problem with what I said when I’m quoting the Bible, then maybe you should take it up with God.”

He said, “Do you think that’s appropriate?”

I said, “Son, anything God says is appropriate.  I think you better get that straight right now.”

I never apologise for standing where God stands.  I never worry standing where God stands. Somebody says, “You know what they are going to say about you?”

Pffft, who cares?

Stand in line, pick a number, slob!

Get you little squirt gun out and squirt away.

Bigger things to worry about. Heaven, Hell, life, death.

“Not bothered what people say about you?”

“Not at all. If they’re quoting me while I am quoting the Bible, Hallelujah God’s word is getting out!”

Don’t you ever worry about your pastor being rattled, or worried, or unsettled, or unnerved. I sleep fine.

Too many people worried about … uh uh … somebody the other day asked me… they uh…. this reporter he said “I heard that you …”

…um ….

“That it would be a cold day in Hell before you get your theology from a woman.”

He said “Don’t you think that’s kind of think that’s demeaning to the genders?”

I said, “Ask Adam what he thought about getting his theology from a woman.”

I said, “It damned the whole world.  The reason your sorry soul is going to Hell is because a woman told Adam what God thinks about things.”

He says, “You’re pretty strong about what you believe.”

I said, “Not half as strong as what God knows you ought to believe.”

I wouldn’t get theology from a woman. I don’t mind if mamma teaches the kids, I don’t mind a strong lady, and a wise woman, and a gracious godly woman, that follows the lesson and teaching of the pastor.

Hey all you listening to me right now, I still believe it would be a cold day in Hell before i get my theology from a woman. I’m a preacher.  Wasn’t called papa sin(?).

No woman ever got me involved in ministry. I didn’t follow a woman into ministry. A woman didn’t write this book. No woman wrote the scriptures right here. A man wrote the Bible – got it from God. A man hung on the cross. His name is Jesus Christ and God called a man to lead the church here. Hey! I’m glad I’m a man!

So many of you got nervous. Saw the preacher on the news. Praise the Lord the word of God is being quoted. More than some of you’re doing about getting the word of god out.

I don’t care about being politically correct. I don’t care who it hair lips. I don’t care if it bothers everybody from the White House, or the old man sitting in the out house. I wanna know what’s going on in the church house, and I’m the messenger of the church.

What I say is more important that what the news reporter thinks I ought to say. God didn’t call him to tell me what to do, and God didn’t call anybody else either. You know, if that’s arrogant, so be it!

The problem is the truth of the scriptures here.

I agree.  The problem is the scriptures.

Update: I have filed a counter DCMA claim against the First Baptist Church.  Let’s see what their response is.
