 Good evening, smart Christians. How are you all doing? Um, I'm sorry. I'm just checking a couple of things here when When we see these people and I'm kind of on this this whole week But when we see people who say things that are ungodly that are not biblical There are two different reasons why one they intend to or two. They just do it out of ignorance The issue is and it comes up and I even I even noticed this in the as I went back and look at some of the chats some of the comments And you see this over and over and even on other channels and people talk about this and that is should we even care? Why should why should we even call out or make known when someone is behaving a certain way? Should we just just preach the gospel just share Jesus and let God handle them Is that what we're called to do? How does that work? How does it work if? All we do is let the bad do the bad and we not do anything It's almost as though if we see the building on fire. Do we just leave or Do we warn people about the fire? Do we share with them a way out how to get out? What do we do? now Someone can turn around and say well, what if someone thinks that you are the false teacher the false prophet, what have you? no problem because Peter says always be able to give or be ready to give a defense for Anyone who asked you he says first sanctify Christ in your heart And so I'm open and available to anyone who wants to rebuke or to correct I don't think my motives are wrong whenever I say anything. I'm not trying to get any particular gain I'm not trying to gain anything. I lived that life where I was trying to build up something Something kind of from this world Building up my business and so forth But now that's changed God did a pretty good job of taking that away and so I don't think it's my motives But if it is I'm not above having my motives question I'm not above having my doctrine question and I'm gonna try to defend it and if you show me where I'm wrong, but unlike Last night's guest and I'm not trying to to speak ill of him, but I'm going to do my best to try to be open I want to try to say or look at where I might be wrong Remember I started off in a Pentecostal in the chasmatic Church. I saw it off in the Church of God in Christ Where in the song in like the little the little theme song that the church of God in Christ has We say this is a tongue talking foot stomping church of God in Christ and so That's what they believe in Believing in signs and wonders and things like that. And so that's how I started so I moved from that and I didn't do so Because I didn't want to be there. I left that kind of grudgingly so to speak stubbornly I'm thinking that's where God's Spirit is and that's where the power of God is magnified But there were some things that I noticed there and I noticed not that the church of God in Christ is like some of these things I'm talking about but there were some things that I noticed that just didn't line up with the scriptures And so the same holds true when we talk about some of these false prophets some of these false teachers Some of these so-called apostles and again, I'm just even the more I think about it the more I'm even more dug in What I mean by that is this I Am even more Invigorated to fight anyone Plaming to hold this these high titles to call themselves an apostle that person is a liar That person either is deceived and they're lying They are doing so either intentionally or unintentionally and I think that they are doing so into Excuse me doing so intentionally because you know what I know for a fact that they know that we may not know about them That is that they are aware of the lack of power that they claim to have are with me and so when someone says that they're in the apostolic realm and they are Calling certain things to happen and that things are moving at their hand or at their mouth or just by speaking or thinking it They know for a fact. That's not true And so I was sitting there thinking about and some of you guys remember when I when I did the video and I showed the clip of of Jesse the planets and this was about 30 years ago and What he said was just without question blasphemous and abomination But no one stopped him. I want to play that clip again real quick. There's just certain parts of it I walked in my study to pray as I normally do I Have a habit of saying hello Jesus and he says hi Jesse It's a first name basis. I walked into that study and Something was wrong pastor Olstein. I sensed it and it wasn't with me And so what he's saying is that the issue was with with Jesus not with him And he is so in tune to the spirit that he's on this this first name basis with Jesus And so Jesus not the president not the king not the CEO of a company not some pastor But Jesus is in need of counseling and comfort from him It's kind of the audacity, right? Then I realized I Said Lord somebody hurt you today Somebody hurt you today You're not acting like you normally act Somebody hurt you today Move a little further and I'm gonna praise you and I'm gonna love you and I'm gonna rejoice and honor you Listen what he's saying. I'm gonna stay here For lack of a better word God to say Till you feel better and I stood in that study and I praise God and I shout and I cry and I love the Lord And I said come here come here. Let me hug you come here and I just love you So he's got this Connection and we talked about this before but the problem is and this is why these sort of things need to be called out because Every pastor every person that heard of this should have rebuked him Everyone since then should have said no, I don't want you coming to my church as a matter of fact And it was the father the elder old steam the one who's past He should have gotten up and said, you know what I'm shutting this down now He should have come back afterwards and said this is never gonna have getting out even at that point at that time Lakewood was the largest church in America. So he had some cash a but Why are you letting this go? Is it because maybe I get that you have bad doctrine? I get that a lot of people have bad doctrine But at least have enough sense to know when someone is Being blasphemous just being downright disrespectful to say that the God of the universe needed you to come from He was feeling bad as though something he didn't think about That caught God off guard and it's got him feeling down and so that you can physically go and comfort him Well, therein lies a problem because what happens is People begin to think that they are on a another level because there's two things we do with God two things one We either because we want to be able to relate to God And so we'll do one or two things. We'll either bring God down to our level And we'll fashion a God like us meaning this if I am into let's say social justice issues Then I'm gonna bring down a God a Jesus who is a revolutionary who was into Dealing and helping with helping the poor and the disenfranchised that that was his real ministry That's what he came for he came as as not only a spiritual liberator But also a political liberator if I am let's say struggling with my sexuality Well, then I have a Jesus who was a who is a God of love who there is no hate There is only tolerance in him or the second type of God that we can fashion Whether then rather than bringing God down to our level and making him like us We can go up to his level We can be like God's and so and we'll talk about that even more so but the issue is this We have we have got to be on guard because let's say let's say every single person on here Is aware of sound doctrine? I hope that you are I hope that you are on the channel called the smart Christian channel As I said before not that I'm the smart Christian just that we all ought to be smart as Christians And so I hope that I hope that Doctrine sound doctrine is important to you and that you're always studying to gain a closer under a closer Connection with God a better understanding of his work. I hope that's the case. And so let's say every last one of us on here Has a desire to become sound in our doctrine But we run across someone who's not and we say, you know what that's just him I won't I won't get involved. I'll leave him alone. Well, first of all, I think that's wrong Because when you were at your worst meaning when you were lost and in your sin Someone did take the opportunity to take the initiative to get involved Someone literally spoke to you about the gospel. You didn't just wake up one You know what I think I'll do Because I'm so godly and he's touched my life I'm gonna go ahead and do something I've never done before and give my life to the Lord That's not how it happened Someone came and witnessed to you someone shared the gospel with you Someone made it clear why you needed to do so now that hadn't happened then you might want to have that happen So someone took the time took the effort didn't say, you know what? I'm not gonna get involved with us And so we should be the exact same way because Paul says not only does the fear of the Lord compel us But also the love of God compels us to share with our neighbors to share with someone who and didn't take much because we're not responsible the person says yes or no To the Lord our job as a vessel is just to be used by God into spread the gospel, right? Whether they latch on whatever's happening. That's not on us. That's on God and them So it doesn't take much on our part, but I know somebody might get offended and say who are you to judge? Well, that's where us knowing the scriptures well enough can come back and say I think you're using Matthew a little bit incorrectly to think that we're not to judge. So We need to be More on on our P's and Q's more at our post than certainly the enemy and so Could you imagine have had there not been a lion Jesse at that time? Could could if someone would have rebuked him now the issue is really this And I'm aware of making sure that we don't spend too much time talking about the bad stuff And so I think four times out of the week. I've done so about this one I'm just kind of just in defense of whether there are no apostles So I don't know if I count that or not But still I want this to be at least I want to be a person that speaks more about Building up and speaking about the gospel But that didn't mean that and that I don't know if I that we ought to call things out because again Paul did so not only Paul do so Paul did so by name as a matter of fact I was going to go somewhere, but let's just go to the scriptures and let's just look and see what the scriptures say themselves Let's see what I should have had it pulled up already and I did not but Ephesians five Ephesians 5 15 I believe says look carefully then now How you walk not as unwise but as wise making the best of the time because the days are evil So what we want to do is To make sure that we call out sin That we are careful that we are on guard and that we make the most of this time Well, that necessarily means that we've got to call out sin, right? Well, let me give you a little bit better example Let's go to 1st Timothy. I spell Timothy wrong It's a little first Timothy 5 20 and read what he says what Paul is telling to Timothy He's saying as for those who persist in sin Rebuke them in the presence of all so that the rest may stand in fear So what Paul is clearly saying is that we don't just let folks get away with saying the wrong things or Incorrectings Especially if there's something that can harm the body now there comes there comes a place where wisdom shows up and let's say If a person misspeaks and it won't take the audience in the wrong direction You can kind of correct them later But and so we're not you know looking and checking and counting to see how many times they say the wrong thing and we're not We're not heresy hunters, but we should be Sensitive when someone says the wrong thing that we had we pointed out especially if it can take someone the wrong way now I know what people are going to say Never fails to happen Whenever whenever you say something to someone or you go against or you counter what they're saying When it comes to these issues that we think are apostolic or Moved by the Holy Spirit What is the first retort that they're going to give you? Well, you haven't experienced the Holy Ghost You haven't you haven't been baptized in the Holy Ghost You don't know what it's like to speak in tongues You haven't experienced the presence and the power of the Lord first of all how insulting is that to tell someone? You don't know Jesus as much as basically what you're saying now. They don't know the word enough to know that all People all believers have been baptized into the spirit according to paul in romans Um, and I'm sorry none roman in first Corinthians 12 So all of us who are believers have the Holy Spirit. We all have been baptized into the Holy Spirit They don't know that so sometimes because we don't want the Uh, the argument or we don't want the the smoke as they say we might leave it alone But no, um, we are bold or we're supposed to be bold in our defense And so when they say something like that now my retort is this I started off again in the church of god in christ And so that was a time guys where I felt like I spoke in tongues and believed it And I wanted what I was seeing And that brings us to the problem the problem was The problem was this that um because everyone else was So-called field And and they were falling out and speaking in tongues again. I felt like I spoke in tongues But it was I think it was kind of fortunate. I was trying to figure figure out what was going on But in my mind I'm thinking I want the same thing. I want the same experience And I've seen other people feel the same way and what it does to them is it makes them feel defeated and so I didn't know what to do and I'll never forget I was there At a at a a meeting at another church. We went to another church And like every other church of God in Christ or Pentecostal or charismatic church It's going to end in an altar call and in the altar call Somebody's going to be laying hands on somebody touching folks And I get how it works when you stand straight up And you're on on the back of your heels. You're not bracing and someone just gently taps you You naturally move back because you have your feet are facing the other way your toes go this way not that way So it feels like you're being moved by the holy spirit because you didn't do it The person didn't touch you that hard and so it's kind of a kind of a scam kind of a mind game I made up my mind though when I go up there. I want to I want to fall out But I'm not going to fall out just for the sake of doing that. That's just being fake And so when the guy came and he touched me he said some things He prophesied over me and man, I got you're going to be this and be that and do this and do that I don't even know if he was even correction. I can't remember all I remember is this I want to fall out, but I'm not going to be faking and so when he tapped my head Matter of fact, he did it twice because I didn't go down and so he did it again And this time he went to kind of just hold my head and kind of uh, and I didn't go down So I left thinking Lord, what's wrong with me? I feel bad because I don't have what they have and I felt like a second-class citizen In the lord here are these other people that are that are more Spiritually in tune. I felt like hey, I'm studying. I'm out there guys. Listen. I was witnessing every day And I'm not making any kind of boast But it was it was such that if I came across 10 people six seven eight of them who were not saved became believers At least they say professor. I don't know if they did or didn't But I was out all day long when I went to the store I stopped to share the gospel no matter where I went and so my mind. Hey, what's going on? I love the lord. I'm sharing the gospel, but I'm I don't have the spirit like everyone else Thank god for growth and edification. Amen And so as I'm reading paul's letter and he's teach teaching timothy How to study and how important is study and to conform and comport ourselves to sound doctrine I started addressing some of these things and I started praying because the one thing that The back this church has the church of christ church of god and christ the charismatic pentecostal The one thing that most churches have in common is we do all tend to stress the importance of praying So what did I do? I prayed I prayed and prayed and prayed and the more I prayed the more I Felt comforted in that I'm not doing anything wrong and I began to examine what was happening. So what I want to do also is I want to just Show you guys some some some people who you ought to stay away from And these not only just these people who we say by name But just the examples because it's not just a few that we know It's the hundreds maybe even the thousands not only here in america, but all over the world Who people need to be informed of and ought to get away from so? There's a trick that you do where If you're if you are an apostle If you are a so-called prophet or if you're one of these church pimps if you are a scam if you're a church shyster There are certain things that you do you want to make sure that people think that you're something special And that's exactly what these men are doing. They're claiming that they have this power that they really don't have I know trump would not be the president now I'm telling you hang out with my trump god told me he's gonna be president god today is an anointing to break The demon the curse of poverty off of people and I break that curse off this brother I lose prosperity into his life and everything he touches and when he touches this cloth Oh god let this anointing is flowing out of me flow into him Revolutionize his life and never be the same again because he let go of the old to bring in the new So the new could come in in jesus national and if you've never prayed in tongues if you follow my instructions The anointing is here to do the rest. I can't do it for you But I can tell you how to pray in supernatural languages raise your hands to holy god And begin to pray in a language you've never been instructed I know you don't know what to say But if the first word's coming out of your spirit Do it faster. I said faster. I said faster. You can do it faster than that if I had a gun in your lips and do it faster Friends have frank and open conversations with each other. I've done that with the lord. I've had the lord say uh jesse I've had god come tell me say this is what i'm going to do. I've had the lord listen What do you think about this? God has asked me for my opinion so If you if your jaw doesn't drop it should be because You've already seen these clips before But even when I've seen them and listen, I've seen these clips over and over But even when I see them Multiple times it's it's wait a minute. What one you're teaching people how to speak in tongues First of all the way you're doing it is clearly unbiblical But then you're telling me how to do it move your mouth and do this And then it's almost like this little chanting this. I'm none none none none. What are you doing? And then one of my favorite false teachers He just he just makes me smile jesse the planets again jesse the planets has this this this connection Where god wants to hey jesse. What do you think about this? I'm thinking about the lord asked his opinion Never asked anybody else in the bible their opinion never goes to paul paul. What do you think about this? Hey, abraham. I'm considering doing this. What do you think they do that? But with you jesse the planets and People who don't know Who are ignorant? Listen to this stuff and buy it up and they buy these stunts that these people play and if they pull off one people Trying to put on the show to use these little gimmicks To kind of engender because a lot of times that's really what it is You want to get people's emotion? Involved the more that I can invoke their senses. I've already got their ears But I want their eyes involved and if I get them feeling something then man I got them and I'm going to give you the actual motive behind it and just a little bit but Is this not bothersome? How is there not a mass exodus out of some of these churches when this kind of stuff happens Satanic powers will fall. We will have deceptives and their clowns. Here's my favorite their thrones We are the company that's not taking any crap. You understand that All of these demon powers including homosexuality gambling Drugs All of these strongholds in america will die They will be broken Their clowns are ours. Their thrones are ours. Their sceptors are ours for the taking And we will present it to our king the emperor But there is something that will break this nut We're the nutcracker We just call it the nutcracker that god is raising up nutcrackers Cities that are hard to be cracked. They go in as the kraken as the nutcracker and break up You know that movie release the kraken We're releasing the kraken. Okay, hold on If you follow this guy spiritually speaking And I hate to say it but Spiritually just dumb. This is dumb It's not even close to biblical. It's not even it'd be one thing if it looked like If it was similar to what the scripture was saying This guy's talking about with a nutcracker I'm sorry. Now. I've seen this video. I don't know four or five times and it just does something to me every time I'll talk about the sad part of this in just a little bit, but He's just entertaining. I I almost want to get some popcorn Are you one of them? No, I'm not brevita. Ba-ba-ba and multiply and increase it and multiply She's using her fingers This is this seven street men seven street ministries. I believe that's what it is Um, as a matter of fact, I think I saw him in the chats Dray day for christ. He does he's got a lot of videos On this particular ministry as well as a few other people, but this guy is just horrible So he's giving him this water and the water I guess is filled with the holy spirit and causes these These machinations these this reaction in them and then you'll see some more of this shenanigans that this guy is doing So what version is that? None of us have a bible that like that Hey your pastor comes in like this So what people are looking for these little they have a flair They want to show these these dramatic things happening Because people just don't know better by this need to stuff up. It's almost like when when I was a little boy You could not convince me that wrestling Or as some of you folks in the south say wrestling Was not real. I thought that stuff was real. I ate that stuff up And I got older and I and I knew better And you would think the same thing would happen here, but it's not and so what's happening is If you dare to question them Obviously, you don't know the power of god You don't have the spirit Because what they do more than that because here's what happens You don't just stop at a particular level you keep moving and moving and you push the envelope more So much so that it's not that the power of god is working in me No, I can't stop at that just only to have the power of god working in me No, I've got to move to to where the doctrine my doctrine has changed I I blur the doctrine so much so that I can eventually Teach you and tell you that I am either god or like god God the father ladies and gentlemen is a person And he is a tryon being By himself Separate from the son and the holy ghost So what did you say? See god the father Is a person God the son is a person god the holy ghost is a person but Each one of them is a tryon being by himself If I can shock you and maybe I should there's nine of them And if our sound mind's intact not just by the memorization of scripture But actually of becoming the very word itself right god didn't want us to just memorize the word He wants us to become the word god wants our flesh to become the very word that we say we know He's actually making me actively become that very word that I believe See Jesus was man Until god touched him and put the spirit of the living god on the inside of him And that's encouraging today understand. That's what he's saying about us now Like right now you're looking at a person who is not just a person Somehow god is in me and there's a sense in which I am like god and man all at once And he's the first of many brethren, which means I now come into a priestly anointing So I now can say that again because they don't get it I now come into a priestly anointing. Jesus is not the only begotten son of god He is not I'm a son of god. He's the first fruit. You're this. He's the first fruit He's the first barn of many Jesus is not the only begotten son of god He is not I'm a son of god You are not the identity of who your parents created you to be because god says that you have the dna of abba Yes, you see it. It's the divine nature of abba the dna You tap into who you really are. You know what the bible calls you? It says you are a little Elohim to this principle of everything producing after its own kind And in verse 26 and 27, let's read it out loud ready read and god said let us make man in our image After our likeness and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea And over the file of the air and over the cattle and over all the earth And over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth So god created man in his own image now. That's interesting because of everything produces after its own kind We now see god producing man And if god now produces man produces after its own kind If horses get together they produce what it produces what it gets together and say let you produce it They're producing god all this but i'm going to say to you right now You are gods little g you are gods because you came from god Not just human the only human part about you is this physical So what has to happen is you've got to first start with distorting the scriptures And so jesus has to be born again Well like us and the spirit of god he becomes god when the spirit goes in him Well, we get the spirit in us and so it's kind of this gentle moving Some cases subtle and if we're not paying attention It's there now This has been happening for some time and so now you've got men talking about that we are gods And when you distort the view of who god is now some folks have an issue with the trinity Well, what about what about benihans version? What do you call three times? It's not the trinity. I don't what do you call it when when there's nine of them? And no one checks him on that none of his friends None of his colleagues No other pastors we make mention, but we don't we don't call this stuff out Because while we need healthy food We also need to avoid food poisoning spiritually speaking right And we do ourselves a disservice by just turning a blind eye to it So when someone says what do you think about so-and-so? Well, yeah, that guy's that guy's a crook That guy's wrong that guy's a heresy that guy that guy's blasphemous Something wrong with that. There's If we have biblical examples of this happening and we do Paul called out people and name names So we do have the ability to do so And I know again and I've said this over again And I'll say it again when people say that you are supposed to go to the person one on one No, you are not you can try The biblical mandate is if the person personally sins against you So the way it works is if Scott Were to personally sin against me He called me a name or did something then I go to him And I don't bring four or five other people. I don't put I don't put them on blast Publicly I go to him first and then and Jesus sets out the protocol But when it comes to someone who has not sinned against me, but they set up a blasphemous Then we call that out just like Paul said and so this whole thing going back to what they were saying About them being like gods. Well, we need to then in turn when they say something like that We just do what we consult the scripture. So let's go to the scriptures And it should remind you of none other than satan. Look what he says In isaia 14 verse 12 He says how you have fallen from heaven Old star of the morning son of the dawn you have been cut down to the earth You who have weakened the nation But you said in your heart. Look what he says I will ascend to heaven I will raise my throne above the stars of God And I will sit on the mount of assembly in the recesses of the north I will ascend above the heights of the clouds. I will make myself like the most high Nevertheless, you will be thrust down the shield to the recesses of the pit so What satan's issue what's lucifer's issue pride wanted to be something more than he is You wasn't satisfied In your rank in what you were no you wanted more You thought more highly of yourself than you ought to which is what paul says not to do and so What do we do? What's the same because if satan has whatever gifts that god has given him and remember this now it's important to remember this What powers has god taken away from satan Now he's taken away access for sake from satan But in terms of satan's ability and who he is that's still there And so he's used and he's still going around to deceive the nations And if i'm fighting somebody let's say i'm in the i'm in a fight and i'm good at boxing i'm good at wrestling And a guy wants to fight i'm going to use what i'm good at in the fight satan's going to do that also and his issue of pride and Puffing himself up. Well, isn't that an issue here in america or in canada or it matter in third world countries People want to be something special and here comes satan just to help them along And you decide that you want to be like god and they might in their mind say that I don't want to be like god, but i want to be next to god I want to have what god has to give me and again i say that they know for a fact that What they're doing Isn't godly they know for a fact that there's no power in that And so why do they do it? Why do their friends and colleagues who know that they're wrong? Why do they do why do other people who know what they're doing? Don't call them. Well, what's the real motive? The real motive is what money? Barnabas had money You cannot be a prophet and have no money. We want to type in right now all profits have money Cannot reproduce until it enters into a covenant with the soil You can put that thousand dollars Just the other day I was I like new money I don't know if you do but I hate old money that's wrinkled and dirty and got all the diseases on it I like new money and when I give When I give things to people I like to give stacks of money It's fun. You ever had a stack of new money? Have you you like hundred dollar bills? I like new money too Most beautiful thing on earth is a hundred dollar bill. I hadn't seen a woman as good looking as a hundred dollar bill I want to believe god for a 65 million dollar plane. You cannot stop me. You cannot stop me from dreaming They discover life on mars If you think a 65 million dollar plane was too much If they discovered that there's life on mars They're gonna need to hear the gospel and I'm gonna have to believe god for a billion dollar space shuttle Because we got to preach the gospel. It's just your week You know how much coordination that takes getting everybody together to do that whole little money coming to me now And then what the man said that uh, a hundred dollar bill looks better than anyone I'm wondering what women have you been around to where a hundred dollar bill looks better than these women But it just tells you where their heart is, right? It tells you what their motives are what they're really after And no one is seemingly doing it. We're not doing a good enough job calling them out The reason why you've got money is because it's our money. How about you turn around and sew a seat back To everyone that you're getting money from why don't you do that? Why don't everyone why don't by the way? I don't know if you if you've heard um I think benny hen is is is close to filing for bankruptcy or something like that I always got some some real bad money problems. It's like, you know, hey Amen It's coming back to you, right? And so you you're pretty up there in age and so I don't know what you're going to keep doing Because it's getting out there that you are a charlatan And I guess, you know, there's always as as p.t. Barnum was accredit to have said That there's always a sucker born every minute. Unfortunately that the suckers are Christians or people that purport or claim to be Christians It's a problem. It's a huge problem. And so while it's funny and almost comical is also sad Disgusting and disheartening it should cause people not to be sad But to be angry it should cause us to want to do something. I'm not saying, you know get violent But we should at least we've got a voice. We've got technology to spread this stuff out. And so yeah, you know Like it's a party scheme. It is without question A Ponzi scheme You you you you matter of fact, I don't know if you all been to those churches where they lock the door or they have these lines Leave that church leave that church If they pass the plate pass it back matter of fact, I knew a guy He said y'all pass the plate one more time taking something out And so what happened was they I thought it was joking pass the plate, you know what he did He took some money out You can't do that. He said they must have meant for me to have it And the man's talking about being a blessing and getting a blessing. So I'm getting my blessing So I don't know what they did to the guy But it was kind of funny and it really made sense. And so the issue is this Why do we even? Why should we even care? Why does it why should be that big of a deal? Well, let me tell you why What it does is it makes the gospel of no effect Meaning this What is the enemy of faith? Doubt And when I'm told that if I do these things That I'm going to get something back in return And I don't Well, I know the problem isn't with God So the problem's got to be with me So now I go doubting myself We put these like these guys are doing we put these these um Advertising campaigns out about money and becoming blessed and God wants you to be blessed and God didn't want Folks to be done once you pour he wanted well first of all everybody can't be rich Well all the Christians we should all be poor really because it didn't seem like all the apostles were rich It didn't seem like they lived um cushy cushy lives, right? So It's got to be something wrong with me and not them Have you ever been up late at night and some of you all don't remember the the whole Carlton Carlton sheets little deal where the no money down And you can get a you can buy a house With no money down and no credit They made more money off of the actual Program the kit Then he did with real estate And so but if you sell a dream to somebody and once you get them hooked They'll keep they'll keep coming back even if Even if They lose all their savings. It's like gambling If you win one time in vegas Let's say you won $50 a hundred dollars a thousand dollars. You'll spend 200 more thousand dollars To go back and recapture So let's say while you're in the midst of this trying to get something from god And a little blessing comes you credit it to what you've been doing this sowing a seed and so I've been sowing. I've been sowing. I'll keep sowing. I'll keep sowing even they cut my lights off even they Evict me. I'll keep sowing and sowing and sowing what it really does is it also causes an independence from god Because I can be like god and I've got the power of god and so well what do I need you for god? I know you're you're the power but but what what do they say that god can only do certain things If we let him that jesus couldn't jesus really couldn't go around healing because they're unbelief and so faith is a force it's a It's an object and it's what god used to create the world That's the word of faith movement and so if it's what god used to create the world And it's open to us then we can do the same thing And so what ends up happening when you when you don't have that power and of course they don't they don't have the same power either You feel even more defeated matter of fact you can find yourself not just angry with yourself But you can find yourself angry with god couldn't you you can find yourself if this isn't true Well, what else might be a lie also? So I've got to start Maybe it's it's it's either with me or with the bible Because what what what tends to happen often is we don't really blame the person the charlatan the pimp the crook the creek We don't blame them now. We do after we leave the church Once the person has gone from the church and and decide, you know what this ain't this ain't for me Then we started looking at them, but you weren't looking at them before because oftentimes it is your greed It is your greed for money. It is your greed for power. It is your it is your greed to be something more and so you can kind of Because charlatans people don't you can't tempt a person Um with quick with these get rich quick schemes if they're trying if they're not trying to get rich quick, right? It's only the people who have not taken advantage of sound Financial decisions saving investing things like that They're the only ones who get caught up in these these schemes Same thing spiritually the people who have not invested time in reading the scriptures who have not invested time in Being with the lord. See, I know what it's like to have and not have And I know what it's like to be made or be brought closer to god And to where it's just you and god where you're in a dungeon in a cell and it's just you and him I know what that's like. I know how it feels. It feels good. It sounds funny, but I out what I went through didn't didn't want to go through but how I came out I wouldn't trade that for anything in the world. And so whatever money you can offer me I told you guys before that I know some people that offered me to come and advise their investment firm and make money a bunch of money And I said no Because disobedience brought me here I'd be a fool to not trust god going forward And so that's why I'm always going to call people like this out. These are shaltons. These are scammers and Listen, they're going to get what's coming to them You can sit and think that god isn't watching or that he's slow because it doesn't seem like he's always Slow to punish the people who are deceptive the most in the kingdom No, uh, the bible Jesus says this when he's comparing the jews during his ministry To the people of Sodom and Gomorrah. What does he say? About their eternal destiny. He says it'll be better for people in Sodom and Gomorrah than it will be for you So, you know what that tells me that I don't know how it's going to be in hell. We'll never find out But there must be some differences if it's going to be better for those people who are going to hell Then it will be for you What part of hell are you going to be in are you gonna you going to be the guy in the hill Taking out the wash and dishes and taking out the trash and even told us, right? I don't know. But they've got something coming God is not asleep at the wheel And what does he say? He says he's storing up wrath And so whatever he's got in store for them. I don't want it. However much money they have the guy Um, what's the older guy the money coming to me got he brags about his phantom And about his mayboth. Okay. Well park that in hell with you then because that's where you're going If you do not repent and we need to tell people That's the destiny. That's where you're going to find yourself up if you don't repent hell And so while you look good on this earth Where you're going you won't be so cool Amen, so Guys as I said before Be diligent in the scriptures make sure We don't have a reason to be afraid of anybody at all And we've got a god who is on our on our side And I'm going to call out anyone that makes god look bad that makes our faith look like it's of of of no No value. They have tarnished the name. No, no, I'm not going to go out and fight I'm not going to go out and pick up pick up rocks and stone people But I'm going to tell you I'm I'm going to warn you I'm going to save my peace And so that being said guys, I'll see you on the other side for question and answers Okay guys, so this is the time where we have the question answer I want to give a quick little shout out uh to my brother here This gentleman has a uh a youtube channel as well And guys the guy loves the lord go and check his channel out by the same by the same title Give him a look see it also subscribe to him. Anyway, that being said, uh, let's go ahead and jump into The scriptures, I mean the scriptures into the into any questions Norman will have Two a week sometimes one But uh, I think we kind of had Kind of a half of one. I guess we did question answers a little bit yesterday. We're not really so He says can you do you Okay Scott does not like to ask easy basic questions, which is cool Uh, the best way to describe dispensationalism here's it and sometimes it gets a bad knock Because there's different types of dispensationalism dispensationalists Um, what it really is it's supposed to refer to A methodology not a set of beliefs Obviously, we believe the bible is infallible and so forth And we try to get to the heart of The uh, what the bible is saying and so in dispensationalism what what happens is you're supposed to read the bible um in a consistent manner and in this way it is to be a A normal plain grammatical historical reading in other words, we take the bible for what it says in the plain understanding Where it's supposed to be We're supposed to find the deeper meaning or the spiritual meaning we wait for the bible to tell us so In other words, if the bible says one two three, we don't try to figure home What does one two three mean now one is this it is a number of this and this is the number of that And so what is god trying to say here? Hmm. Well dispensationalism Is supposed to get rid of that. That's why you hear me say that uh, I am dispensational herm in terms of my hermeneutics Different dispensationalists are going to come to different conclusions. You've got Orthodox dispensationalism you have um progressive dispensationalism Probably the seminary that is the that has sent out the most Probably the pastors who who tend to be trusted the most not all not all because every seminary has some bad guys Some guys go there get the degree and then leave Um, it's probably dialysiological seminary and they are a progressive dispensational seminary The reason why dialysiological seminary has the reputation that it has is because their emphasis on the languages Hebrew and greek You can't graduate there with a master's in theology without Having a good understanding of both Hebrew and greek whereas most seminaries to date Do not emphasize The languages well if you're going to go out and preach why should you know the languages? So anyway, what dispensationalism does is it will separate how god deals with people now Everybody in truth is a dispensationalist everybody. It depends on to what degree Here's what I mean God deals with people in these different economies And the word is actually found paul talks about these dispensations of the or the the greek word is aconymy Which is where we get the word economy God deals with people in these different economies differently For example, the way he dealt with adam and eve was different than the way that he dealt with mankind immediately after the flood It was all so different than how we dealt with people when he gave the law It was all so different. He dealt with people differently once The cross had occurred And of course, he's going to deal with people differently During the time of the tribulation and then even after that and so everyone is a dispensationalist. It depends on to what degree Dispensationalism is known to have all these different charts and so forth But not all as a matter of fact But one of the charts people focus on when most dispensationalists don't but some have gotten Our cues of this is some of these charts having to deal with the end times Where that comes from is when dispensationalists will chart Let's say daniel's 70 week prophecy. We're going to talk about that Probably not tomorrow, but probably definitely either monday or tuesday We'll talk about daniel's 70 week prophecy and how you chart If the numbers are correct and oh by the way the 70 week Is accurate to a t in terms of when it was prophesied and when things happen And then talking about the this where it goes into the to the end time stuff when talks about Um when israel is going to be dealt with and so dispensationalism also Creates a distinction between israel and the church Jews can become part of the church, but the church is never israel and the church has not replaced israel So in a nutshell, that's what it means to be a dispensationalist Let's go back up. I saw a few questions after yours When you say to cut these people off completely I'm not sure which which people you're talking about false prophets Or people who in who are a part of that particular ministry if that's what you're talking about I wouldn't cut people off unless you've gotten unless you have an understanding that we're not getting anywhere I had a I had a I got who I thought was a friend Who was he was his pentacost as they come he was as charismatic He was as apostolic as they come And it got to the point where he was just so enraged and he made up his mind and said that I'm not gonna ever listen to you I don't care what you say. And so okay fine. I'm not gonna push it brother I'm not gonna I'm not gonna fight you or force you to take what I'm saying. So, you know, hey, brother How you doing? He had you doing uh while I know he's cussing me out while he's walking by and that was cool And so in these cases, I would leave him alone But if the opportunity I'm always open and and ready for an opportunity to show the gospel because what happened with this guy After a while All this bad talking about me a name called he comes around Uh, and then looks me up after he's decided that one because we had this big issue about one saved always safe He came around eventually to that and about some apostolic things as well. So I don't I won't burn bridges. Um, but sometimes you don't cross them if they don't want you to cross them Just okay, I'll be here when you're ready. So if if if that helps, I'm not sure if that's what you were asking I hope I hope it is Let's see Okay, this is this is certain to start an argument if I carried a certain direction Does limited atonement mean limited god? Well, um cv the question the question is Needs be who are you asking? Depending upon who you asking is going to give you a different definition now limited atonement by Some calmness are going or most calmness will be that God's death on the cross Was limited the atonement was only limited to to the elect I would disagree with that in that the atonement was made possible Or open for everyone Now are there a lot of Calvinistic views that I that I that I share with with them? Sure there are But that's not one of them. Why for two reasons one when I look at how the, um Uh, the day of atonement was done It was open for everybody whether you were Jew or not You just had to come in because there were some non-Jews Who became Jewish they adhered to the law And so if you just trusted an oh by the way, was it effective for every Jew? No Even though these were an elected group of people And so I would I take that to for my for my initial cue But then John says that he died For us but not only just us but for the whole world And just like it says in English the greek backs it up. It means the whole world Most greek grammarians follow that as well So That's my take on limited tone. I think that the atonement Was more than limited but as far as it being effective. Well, that's different. It's like, you know, is the Is a fire extinguisher Limited or completely effective. What depends on if you use it who uses it, right? And so I think that's the same When it comes to limited limited atonement. I could be wrong It's not a point for us to to uh, not talk and be and be brothers, right? Okay, uh, as I stand alone topic where you cover pastors or believers that are pledged to secret societies Like free masons and greek letter fraternities and sororities And Yesterday and I and someone I was reading the comments and someone said to me You mean to tell me you wait till the very end of the discussion to let us know that john was a mason and the guy was a freemason The reason why I didn't bring it up Initially because it would have been a point of contention And people would have just written him off and not listen. I want people to just hear his side As well. I wanted to listen to his side as well. Um, I will I'm not sure when joseph I think there's a bit of a distinction if the person Join one of these societies or one of these fraternities and sororities at early age and have less obviously But I know some grown men and grown women who are still sporting their their letters And their colors and that's just not right. You you have no allegiance to anything now If you are a part of I believe this whole heartedly that if you have have some some sort of allegiance to Uh any masonic lodge, that's not right. That's that's ungodly It may not seem ungodly but then again most seeing doesn't seem ungodly initially That's how satan works. And so at some point in time joseph. I will cover that I can't tell you when uh, I've gotten i'm trying to get out of habit of saying I'm going to do this on next week and then the week comes and there's other things that kind of get me backed up so um Did you say my pastor? Can't stay in dispensationalism and says I should lose my macArthur study bible for that reason I can't seem to and the issue is um granite macArthur uh is supposed to be I know the master the master's seminary or you know, whatever it is. It's supposed to be dispensationalism But a lot of dispensational seminaries Disagree with macArthur is it's kind of weird because what ends up happening is as we start Getting to the minutiae of scriptures We can start seeing where I disagree with that person over here And I'm disagree with that person over there and now it's a point of contention and for us to separate So I've got a macArthur study bible only because someone gave it to me 12 years ago it is it's it's It's warning a raggedy As a matter of fact, if you look behind me under over that shoulder on that There it is it's really torn up, but I keep it because one they just kept me through through my roughest time And I would look at the commentary. I didn't always Go off of it, but it's good to see what someone else thinks and john macArthur is for the most part solid Do I disagree with them everything? No, but do I disagree with everybody on everything? No, I don't agree myself on everything. I've got to come back and say hey, kory You're more aren't thinking what you thought five minutes ago. So You're pat you can be at a church and not hold to every single Line of doctrine that the church holds to as long as they aren't the key essential things And I don't think there's enough daylight between um If it's dispensationalism or Calvinism or even armenianism, they're well, I take it back dispensationalists and and those who are reformed And and 90 plus percent of all baptists believe this they kind of lean the same way It's just the the the little small differences It's the armenians And then now they have this this other group called provisions, which is a real small group, but They Lean differently and that in course that that deals with the effectiveness effectiveness of salvation Whether you believe in internal security or believe that you can lose your salvation. So um I don't know if your pastor is is more armenian because certainly dispensationalists overwhelming believe in That you cannot lose your salvation and what what's funny is depending on what kind of dispensations You have dispensations who are king james only some dispensations who like the king james But aren't king james only some dispensationalists who don't like the king james version. So It's just it's I don't fight those little battles. I'll I'll stay that state my point You're right. I don't think he is dispensational But the master seminary is supposed to be dispensational, but Okay David says quarry paul says there is no difference between Jew or Greek Look to the look to the abraham's promise in genesis 17 verse 12 Those brought into the house not of your seed meaning strangers well One when paul talks about there's no difference between jew and greek. He's not speaking that there's no actual difference There is an actual difference between israel And gentiles between the greeks We know that because in the very same book that he talks about that he talks about the future for israel um, and then in In genesis it's clear that he's got something set aside for israel And he makes these prophetic promises concerning israel And about especially when you when you look at the davidic covenant about what he's going to do with israel That hurt us that doesn't take it does not take and it's what I don't get it doesn't take anything away from us as gentiles If god is going to do something with israel Primarily what he's going to do with israel is take them through the tribulation Be if you want to be israel fine I got a buddy of mine who who was born in and I don't know. I was someplace out of some place where there's no Jews whatsoever, but decided to become um a messianic jew and he's never been a jew But he decided just to go to that Uh believes in jesus christ will want to adhere to different tenets of the law Okay, fine. Um, well If you don't have christ and you are under the law this jewish umbrella Well, then what's gonna happen to you the tribulation is specifically designed for you So, uh, there is a difference between jew and greek in the sense of that these are different ethnic groups, right? israel is an actual ethnic group So Anyway Yeah dapper douglas tell them smash that like button. I never say that but okay. Yeah, uh Should christians celebrate christmas and to what degree? Let me tell you guys this I don't care if you do it or don't why If you've got a reason and you think it's it's uh because on a pegging holiday Well, guess what today is today is actually a pegging holiday Your birthday is on a pegging holiday If you think jesus was born on june 14th, that's a pegging holiday every single day There's at least four or five to ten different pegging holidays. There's not one pegging group. There's many different pegging cults and religions, right? pegging just for lack of a better way, it's just a non christian non jewish Religion and they have their days all over all the time And so is the 25th going to be the day of a particular pegging holiday? Yeah, which one pick one Is the 26th also went? Yes And so if that's your rationale, well, you know and get past anything any date that that's not didn't coincide with a pegging holiday That's just what it is. Now if you think so because hey God never told us to have been fine. I have no problem with that whatsoever And if you think that it's sinful, well, then don't celebrate it I just would not tell someone else that hey, you can't celebrate you mean tell me I can't decide. You know what? I'm going to Like everyone else remember what christ has done because it certainly is an evangelistic opportunity Are we supposed to celebrate Easter? We're not told to do that, but we always do we we tend to remember the date That he has supposedly had had had risen from the grave If you don't want to then fine it because what he's what happens? And these are the conversations I love to have with the people who are so Holy who are so Godly who they don't they don't observe anything that is not in the bible But then when you go and pick apart their life wait a second. What is this? What is this? What is this? Or the people he or like the people like the people who want to say Yeshua or Yah or Elohim to show how how spiritual they are. Okay, fine And my retort then hey, let's do a study out of the book of jacob And then they look at me crazy. You mean the book of we don't have a book of jacob didn't have a book Yeah, we have a book of jacob. What do you mean, Cory the book of jacob? You don't you don't know as spiritual and godly as you are You don't know what the book of jacob is the book of jacob. Oh, I get it You're used to saying things In the the western way the english way But I thought when you were saying Yeshua or you were saying Elohim or Yahweh you were wanting to keep it keep it 100 So to speak well, then you should know that the book of jacob or the book of jacob is the book of james So why not call everything by its actual given name Call every person in the new testament by their greek name or their jewish name Call everyone in the old testament by their hebrew name And so trying to show how spiritual you are By pointing out someone else that isn't specifically prohibited in the bible because celebrating is not Prohibited in the bible. It's just not so and I know if I was going to say well What about where it talks about the tree and this and that okay fine if you want to go there fine So I don't fight that fight Um I knew someone was gonna say this listen. I am going to start cutting holes in my walls today or tomorrow See if I can find me some money. I don't know y'all heard about it I guess there's a report that a plumber found the missing 600,000 dollars or whatever it was 60 million or 600,000 however much it is somebody found the money and I don't know if it's true or not and so I hadn't said anything about it But people are talking about it. It's kind of it's kind of buzzing now. So I think it's I think it's comical And it would happen to be uh, joel osting's church. Yeah, we're going to Odell like Odell too Cowboys, okay. Good good game cowboys Uh You said it's an inside job. Yeah, it really was an inside job, huh? Um something first of all if it if it's true if it's true Who is the moron that would have left it there after all these years? And then you bring the plumber in Hey, listen, it's not there. Okay. We got a safe one We got give them anything but you cannot find this money and it makes me wonder These people if it's true, they've got to be the dumbest crooks. I was it in bags They actually had the little dollar signs like we see in the cartoons. So I just It's just funny. It's funny and it does kind of make um Make believers look bad. Oh, look at what your church is doing. So Anyway, uh, let's go up. I went to the bottom. Let's go up and see some more Oh, let's cowboy talk. We got to do something about this question Second Thessalonians two seven. Who is the restrainer? Oblivious choice is holy spirit, but curious what you say. All right, mr. K. Let's go to second Thessalonians two seven All right, let's go to the to the scriptures and Let's go down start reading For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work Only he who now restrains it will do so until he is out of the way. Oh, well. Yeah. Yeah, that is uh, it's as you say Um, the only one that who the only person who could restrain it is god or through the holy spirit. So, yeah It's amazing how how much Work the holy spirit is doing how much work god is doing that we not that we're not aware of that That we're oblivious to but I say this Um, who killed you last night who came to your house and killed you last night? No one who gets the credit for that? How about god? um All right, mr. K and chest and we're going to get some moderators. These guys are completely football blasphemous Um What is your take on blasphemy of the holy ghost or holy spirit? Do you think it's possible today? Absolutely uh, remember And there was I did a little video on this but what it really is When nicotine comes to jesus, he makes a statement just kind of in in passing and we don't catch it He says, um, we know that you Have come from god because no one who does the things that you do could have do could do so Let's say are from god and so what we say is and there's no actual You know definition that we can go to um, but what it is is this um to attribute the works of My wife is waving at me to attribute the works of god um To the devil Um or to discredit them when you when you literally know this is of god They knew so is it possible that the person can know that this is of god And still deny it. Yeah, it happens people get angry because things don't work out I knew a guy who decided that he didn't want to serve christianity anymore He didn't want to be a christian anymore Which means he was never one in first place as far as i'm concerned Because it was tragic a tornado happened and his daughter his daughter was killed And so he just rebelled after that And and because why would god allow that to happen? And so my response to him and this was this has been several years after the fact and so he's moved on But the results of that is still there. I said well There when you were when you said you were a christian Weren't there tornadoes before and weren't there hurricanes and other natural disasters and weren't people dying before and How come when they die or when things happen to them god was okay, but when it happens to you he's no longer god I said that's just that's one. It's not cool, but it's not even being consistent and He said yeah, I believe that because I was witnessing to him. He said yeah I believe that jesus christ died on the cross So what I don't care well If he remains that the rest of his life, what is he guilty of blast me of the holy spirit, so You guys with these uh, these football teams talking about fly eagles fly, you know, we're gonna have to pay the eagles Either first or second round traffic too That's neither here nor there Let's see This is coming and that that's what perry says I've let go of all the holidays once and for all. I do believe in giving thanks So I guess I recognize thanksgiving, but it's all about thanking christ Jesus for all he has done and given to us and that's fine. I because you know what I don't I think we should not do Whether we celebrate or not is not to elevate a particular day over anything and not to do anything More special on that day in honor of the lord You should do if if easter causes you to think reflect more on Jesus than any other day. It's not the problem with easter. It's the problem with you because Jesus didn't die just so you can um have that day uh to be in him. You've got all these other days And so we give him thanks on the other days as well. So Uh, let's see I'm moving back up because I think I I know I passed a bunch of questions. So Even ask what are your thoughts on free will Okay, I need you guys to listen to what I'm about to say. Okay. I want you to pay attention to me One I always ask the question when I'm asked this question is what do you think free will means It's it might come as a surprise That the term free will is never found in the bible As a matter of fact the concept and I'll explain what I mean in a second. It's not found Well, what about free will offering that has nothing to do with what we mean by free will free will offering Um, is you giving what you want now? Does that lean into what that sounds like free will to me? Okay If by free will you mean volition within everybody on the planet every animal has volition Has the ability to choose but to what degree? Because here's what we do know whether you are a believer in christ Or not. There is something that affects what you do Before you in christ does sin not affect your decision making Before you are uh, we're in christ. Does sin not make something seem more attractive What's the devil doing then if if if we have free will then does satan have free will? Is is his will always nullified by our will? Doesn't look like it does it and if we're christians. Well, certainly we've got the holy spirit living in us And so I heard it put this when I use this all the time that If we've got free will meaning meaning if what you mean by free will is that we can make a decision Independent of anything outside of us that no, we don't have free will because how do you do that? There's always something influencing Controlling influencing restraining your will that's that's biblical The holy spirit is inside thankfully He's in you greater cities in us and he's in the world because what's at work with us and in us and around us Is this what we call the spiritual warfare things that are happening that we didn't know about Remember daniel was making this happen this prayer god. I'm trying to talk to you. God. We supposed to be tight tighter than what um Tighter than what just the plan is claims that he is with you and so lord. We're tight. I'm praying where you've been Well, so the angel comes and says hey listen chill out daniel. I'm using my vernacular chill out daniel I was on my way and an angel a demon stopped me What demon well because there are things that are happening that we don't see Well, what are these demons? What are these angels? What is god? What is satan doing? There are things that are happening and so We are the object of these battles, right? We're the object of whatever's happening In these little spiritual rams because what does satan want to do? He wants to take us down, right? He wants to influence us and a good analogy is goofy. I know but a good analogy to kind of In a basic way of explaining it in the little cartoons And I don't think you think is we even watch cartoons anymore But the angel the little angel on this side and the devil on this side Whispering in your ear. Well somebody or something is always whispering in your ear. And then I'll say this Uh, if we have let's say we have free will Which we don't because that would make us um independent to some degree But if we had complete independent free will, okay does god Does god have free will and if he does what does he do with it? Does he ask us our opinion or for the right to come involved? No, he doesn't so That's my take on it. Does it mean that we don't have the ability to choose? We certainly do have the ability to choose as a matter of fact if we choose the wrong way We'll get punished for choosing the wrong way So it's almost like he gives us some boundaries and things that we can do and can't do And I think he I think I think he restrains satan In a lot of ways that we're not aware of so that he doesn't Unduly influence us So that's my take on it Uh, let's see because again when it comes to the ultimate choice that we make We already know that the first choice that was ever made in our in in salvation I don't care what stance you take the scriptures are clear the first step That's made in terms of our salvation is him not us. So Okay, here's a good question and here's the perfect answer I'm going to give you he says core What do you think paul store in the flesh most likely was an attractive woman? No, it couldn't have been it was a hundred dollar bill because a hundred dollar bill looks better than an attractive woman, right Uh, here's the perfect answer that question. I don't know. No one knows. We can speculate. Was it his eyesight? I don't think so. I don't know. Was it something who knows? All we know is that there was this issue that was given him and then a mate a messenger of satan Sent to torment and bother him And then when he begged god for what did god say he said hey paul shut up I've been i'm blessing you this i'm gonna do it. Um, so that you won't get overly And paul has this issue of of pride and arrogance that what she talks about and so you don't get too puffed up I've got this this thorn in the flesh because you got a chance to see either paul says either You know physically with eyesight or in a vision you didn't know but a chance to glimpse heaven And so I don't want you to get too proud. So i'm gonna give you this So Don't know what it was. No one can say it. So that's where a perfect opportunity for someone to say I don't know comes in and it's true. I don't know. I have no idea What it is. I'm glad I don't have it. Maybe I have had it. I don't know But you said was it could have been a woman? Well, that would be correct if He says uh cori the only way satan was able to enter into judas during the lord's supper Is because judas was allowed to buy free will and that would negate the scriptures And the that judas was um chosen for this that this was this was prophesied. How do you prop? How does god prophesy what's going to happen about judas? Um, but leaves it open to judas choosing. No, here's what god doesn't do God decrees god doesn't predict god's not you know, I I think I think um The charges are going to win by three. No, he knows And it's not that he just knows because he sees it's clear like as it relates to um To Ephesians that he's doing some work in that He is the active agent remember that guys When you look at our salvation, it's god who is the active agent And the bible says that let's say for example like judas or uh an even clearer example would be Pharaoh we know what god was doing He says he will harden um the hearts that he wants to and have mercy on whoever he wants to The guy that was born blind that wasn't because of sin or anything else because god wanted to show his power So god will do certain things um to show who he is Remember this guys God is not obligated for any one of us to go to heaven At all we are not deserving as a matter of fact If every last one of us died and went to heaven babies included everybody went to hell God would still be perfectly just for doing so Now has he explained to us all of his rationale for what he does? No, he didn't have to Have did your parents or you who our parents have you explained every reason for what you do to your children? That wouldn't be good parenting to say this is why i'm doing this Um, sometimes just good just to obey and sit back and know that he's god It's just like hey, Jesus, you know the storm is coming. Um, can you do something about the wind? Just trust me baby I threw the baby party God's sovereignty, hey, you know what in the class the first thing or the main Point that comes over in the class. By the way, uh, if you have someone If you have someone Who is kind of off-docking you think haven't come to the class haven't showed enough You don't have to be there that Saturday for the class because there'll be on video You can turn around in washington and download the um The uh the little booklet But what it's going to happen is this is why See having conversations on one topic is hard But when we go back and start from a foundation, we all go through here's the foundation We start we start seeing the foundation and start agreeing on the foundation We start coming to these common conclusions remember i've got four had 40 some people in prison violent guys Um, some guys just just throw it off as throw it off can get um with different doctoral backgrounds And by the end of the class They were all like yeah, this will we all agree even listen one is apostolic folks who had changed their view I'm not saying that this was the world's greatest teacher in the world's greatest teaching No, but if we get a baseline of what we're talking about we don't have that problem The problem that we have as believers today is that One we forget that there was an old testament before the new testament and that sometimes The scriptures aren't talking to us. It's talking to someone else and we're just privy to the information It's what we call first i mean primary and secondary application Trying to apply what was required of israel for you would have you walking around some walls and shouting them and thinking something's going to happen Everything isn't for you like when it says my people who are called by my name Well, that's not for us. That's for israel and it talks about about them being taken out of the land. Well, that's not us Is it so uh Is birth control a sin well before we go there Here's the first sin sex outside of marriage is a sin. That's number one number two I'm not thoroughly versed on the different types If there has been some sort of a conception made I think it is I think it is. I think it's destroying a life I if if if the egg is fertilized By the sperm. Yes, um to kill it Whether it's the first third day and the reason why I said not thoroughly virtual because I know that they have different types of Birth control that might do that. I don't know if there's something that doesn't do that. I don't know I don't know our condoms Birth control. Yes, they are Does it stop the the the sperm from implanting the egg? Yes, it does. So would that be a sin? No, what? so I hope that answers the question Okay, okay, okay You could not fellow texan Which is funny guys. I'm not a texan about birth, but I'm down here. My father's family is down here Um, and so I'm I'm part indiana part texas Which is why I pull for every team in indiana college And for texas tech and then I can't stand all the rest schools texas a nem ut anyway What do you say? I'm on tangent. What do you think about the whole supreme court and abortion stuff going on? It'd be nice If they if they uphold the the mississippi law and the texas law the mississippi law I think is more stringent than the texas law. I think um I'm not holding my breath Because can I be honest? I think the biggest disappointment on the supreme court for any particular political party Each political party has had a supreme court nominee That was approved that turned around and was a disappointment to them. Usually it's the republicans who do so, right? Um, I think briar was one Uh, that the republicans like wait a second bush. I mean, what is it with the bush? nominees that don't seem to come through for and so just as roberts is one who He has just been a disappointment to the republican party And he tends to be one of those guys that wants to be down the middle in it And if precedence leans that way then he's not going to overturn as though precedence means something Because precedence didn't mean anything in plusy versus Ferguson If that were the case, then we'd have separate equal, right? But that was overturned or dred scott So precedence started sizes doesn't mean anything unless you just want to use this excuse not to rule and use your brain And or or the convictions of the of the ruling of law or the rule of law So I don't have a lot of faith long way of saying I don't have a lot of faith in whatever the supreme court is doing I do pray that they at least Give something on this and and at least give the perception that The good guys are winning but I know this in the end The world is getting worse and so for them to do away with One of satan's crowning achievements, which is abortion I believe that that abortion is one of his crowning achievements If not the crowning achievement, it's hard to see that it'll go away, but I'm praying. I'm praying. I've been listening to it And what they do sometimes is they give these arguments back and forth in the When the justice asks these questions when judges ask questions oftentimes, they're just to give you Um, it's almost like a like a tactic to throw you off That when you ask these questions seem like you were in favor of what the defense is arguing But then you rule in favor of the prosecution So, um, I'm hopeful, but I'm not holding my breath, but I'm praying I really am I really am How many how many millions of people have been killed? So I saw a good question was that though Is remarriage adultery? It depends on the circumstances surrounding it Uh There's always grace and there's always forgiveness and so is a person perpetually in adultery Well, that would go counter to what forgiveness of sin is So is it adultery? Yes If it's let's say for for unbiblical sound reasons, right But is that person perpetually an adulterer? No That would mean that we are perpetual that means a person who commits who does that Cannot get into heaven because if you are perpetual center and you're seen as a center Then you don't have salvation. Remember God looks at us though. We sin Um as either people are sinners or not sinners and so The guy messed up because I heard someone talking about um, I've heard I don't know why this comes up a lot also why the They'll ask well should I go ahead because I love the lord I love my wife, but I love the lord more So should I should I divorce this person? Well, no now you're gonna commit be committing two sins, right? And so lord, I messed up. I did wrong Help me that I don't make the mistake again Um, I thank you for your grace and you just move on, right? Um, but it's not a hey guys. Yeah Guys are gonna forgive you if you if you sin if you do this particular sin. Well, he'll Forgiveness is on the table for all sins But that's not a reason to go and do it because what it does is if you do it because of you think forgiveness is there It indicates what your heart really is and that you don't have a godly sorrow. You don't have you don't have a godly sorrow So I hope that helps Okay Can a person remain in an adulterous second marriage? So what if they do then have their sins been forgiven? Is adultery a sin that has been forgiven is remarriage a sin that has been forgiven Tell me where it's not tell me how the person cannot be forgiven And then the way you remedy it is by getting another divorce I remember When we got married the uh pastor said he said this is how you know it. He said look at me He said young man. This is how you know. She's the right one when you say I do She's the right one. So you don't compound the sin with another sin Now that that becomes real legalistic because Even you tell me that sin is not covered And what if the person Um got divorced and remarried or whatever or the adultery part that happened then they become a believer You gotta go back and wipe the slate clean all your past sins. Well, no That's what that's what and this is what the problem that I have when people don't understand what what the atonement means There are three aspects of the atonement. All right. I want you guys to hear this Three aspects it has to cover to cancel and to reconcile the covering part Is where the sin is no longer seen Obviously the blood does the blood covers the sin So kind of in the metaphoric way God sees us. He sees the blood The cancelling is there was a debt incurred by the actual sin And so who's gonna pay for the who's gonna pay for this broken tv? Who's gonna pay for this sin? That's what his debt did he pay. I mean, that's what he did. He paid that debt After that, there's this reconciliation where the parties brought back together the parties are brought brought back together And then the aggrieved party in this case God will look at us and say I no longer hold those sins that were atoned for I'm no longer hold those over you. And so There thereby you have been justified to be justified means to be declared right and treated as such And so if a person did screw up mess up, what have you was an adultery and now they are remarried Um, is that sin no longer covered? Did he mean everything has been atoned for but that if it's been atoned for then it's been atoned for Completely you cannot get past what God has done You didn't send you didn't send your way Or you didn't grace your way into God's good grace and you can't send your way out of it There's something keeping you again You what you do stand perpetually is atoned for if he if all your sins have been atoned for they have been atoned for Who the sun says free is free indeed Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. I'm trying to Are you are you saying with are you with a living spouse? You should say stay in adulterous marriage because of the grace Joe and Mary get married Joe steps out hasn't has an affair Okay, uh, that causes a divorce or whatever Or maybe they just how they do nowadays they get divorced for What do they say? irreconcilable differences and then joe remarries Mary's not She's hadn't found the next guy And so joe was a believer His wife is a believer and let's say Mary is now a believer also So what's what's joe supposed to do joe is not supposed to divorce her commit another sin To fix where in where the scripture does one sin rectify a past sin? Where does that happen? It doesn't and so Lord, I messed up. I should have done that and that's how it is Uh, a good example of No, no, it's no, it's not. No, it's not. I was gonna give another and that's not a good example Scratch what I was getting ready to say. You didn't know what I was gonna say, but scratch it. So Okay As he said salvation is not fair deal with as a matter of fact. I'm so glad it's not fair I'm so glad I'm so glad that it's not fair. So I can say um okay, but But the person is not sinning anymore They sinned in the past and yes, this relationship is a result of the sin But that didn't that didn't mean that because the result of the sin is still there that he's still in sin How many what is it in your life that is a result of sin? A lot of us can go in another room and look at our kids and say well, that's a result of sin What do you do with that? You sinned when you when you had um premarital sex and a child was born Well, how do we rectify that? All right, let's get an abortion or let's put This is what we're saying. You cannot nullify one sin a passing with the present sin Just stop it. You you david listen brother love you, but you are wrong on this one But hey, if that's how you feel then uh, how long see Jesus loves you. I'm not going to answer that question right now because What's wrong? Okay, because it will take us for a while and it will be debated Um, but I tell you what you know, I tell you what you do because I'm going to go into this uh on next week Jesus loves you And I would love to know your real name because I see you uh in different different comments section on certain videos that I go to Um, I love knowing your real name, but email me um smart christian channel at gmail To remind me to do this And so I can put it in what I'm going to do on next week anyway Because it it actually goes with what I'm talking about Gino Jennings my man Said you're going to hell if you if you're remarried says you got to leave who you're married and go back Gino Jennings is wrong on so many things. That's another one to add to it. Do you know that is just Okay, let me ask you guys a question on this issue um Were there people in the bible who had been given a bill a bill of divorce and remarried? Yes Why didn't jesus address this when jesus bringing up this issue of about what moza said? Did he tell them go back and remarry the person? Leave the one you got or marry them both. He didn't do that So stop coming up. I'm not saying that's what you're doing sister But we shouldn't come up with something that he didn't come up with where he's silent Be silent just go as you as you said David go and send no more don't send again Okay, but don't compound it again because what and what if it is marriage you've got children In this new marriage you've got children. So, you know what? Devastate them too Okay, so it's just I don't I'm not seeing why you guys are or why some people aren't seeing this I think it's just an issue to be Um, I think there's just me being kind of more more legalistic Finding something to be condemning well If he doesn't condemn it then I'm not gonna condemn it. He he could have said so but he doesn't He talks about marriage awful lot in the in the scriptures And why doesn't that come up gotta just slip your mind. Why don't you god? Why didn't you cover that? Do you didn't know? Well, yeah, he did know so Good question is repentance more of a one-time thing or repentance versus confessing our sins Okay, the two are really cousins When you confess your sins, it's not saying this in this in this in this by the way, it'd be forever this in this And we'd have a long roll long wrap sheet of sin Confessing our sins is just acknowledging that we sin. That's all it really means And repentance does not mean that I stop doing The sins I should eventually stop doing but what what I'm repenting of it is Uh, it's changing the mind it is and of course you've heard people talk about it It's two words the word metanoia and it's two words Meta which could mean with or after and then noia which is the word for knowledge or to know So I change my thinking about sin I no longer regard sin the way I used to the way I used to regard sin now Whatever it happens happen. I'm only human God knows my heart, you know how we say certain things and dismiss sin well To become a believer Your heart has changed your mind has changed about sin. I don't want to do it anymore I'm still going to sin. How do I know because paul talking about paul Who wrote mo not most uh, a good portion of the new almost half of the new testament States in roman seven that the good I wish to do I don't do and the bad things I want to stop doing I keep doing And why does paul say he does that the same reason he's got the same problem we have and that is this wretched flesh of ours And so thank god though that we've got christ We've got the spirit in us because he says nothing good dwells in me but the spirit except for the spirit so Repentance doesn't mean that you'll stop sinning now if you repent you should sin less than you used to There should be a difference a decrease in sin That's happening in your life That should be that should happen now and it may not be as noticeable to everyone else But it should at least be noticeable to you and more to the point It should be more bothersome to you when you sin when you say the wrong thing Even if it should be to the point where Even if you didn't cusp and you were thinking about it. It should bother you. I was thinking about something bad You don't even know what I was gonna say, but I feel bad about it. Right. So that's what it means to be repent Okay, not that you have actually stopped the actual sin Um, you windows with mac. I don't know you guys something else in this was uh, first of all If you if you're not a went a mac person something wrong with you. I'm praying for you so anyway Okay, okay, you put the question down again Would you say to check out the chicks tracks on you too? But okay, I'm not sure what that is Okay, oh, oh, you redeemed yourself at least you your cowboys fan, which is blasphemous, but at least you got mac right um the month Um, all my sins are forgiven with god colostin 213 But I know sin can still mess a person's life up and bring trouble on themselves life can be hard enough as it is So I'm thankful. Yeah, you know what here is what it is Just because you're a believer Doesn't mean that you are absolved of any consequences for a sin. So when you sin Believers sin and god disciplines you Sometimes harshly sometimes with a stiff prison sentence. Sometimes it may even be it may result in death We don't escape punishment Because of where our father is as a matter of fact, we are going to get punishment Because of who our father is just not this eternal punishment. So I thank god that my sins have been forgiven. Which sins all of them the word all that there's a reason why we say all so Okay, what do you mean the way core lists his head uh to read the screen is hilarious Um, maybe I'm getting old. I guess that's what it is. Who gave me the thumbs down? Y'all can't see but when when a thumb goes up or thumb goes down for some reason this software makes it glide across the screen And it's like it's it's just noticeable. So a big yellow thumb just went down for some reason I don't know. Uh, maybe it was because of the mac thing. Maybe it was because of now I got a thumbs up. Hey, man Oh, let's see By the way, I said that I was going to do a uh, a thing on gino Jennings and I was going to do it tomorrow I'm going to hold off. The reason why is because Let's see we talked about uh Apostles and other what I think are false teachings and I didn't want to do it tomorrow I really didn't it would be guaranteed it would be guaranteed guys to get a lot of views without question But I don't want to do that. I I really want to talk about something back and we um, because I just want to you know, I don't want to And I I can do a video. Hey guys gino Jennings sub Right, and then I'll get 100,000 people who love gino Jennings come in and tell me why I'm horrible and then 100,000 folks viewing who who Don't like gino Jennings. Tell me why I'm the best thing since sliced bread And I just I didn't want to do it this week I'll do it. I'll save it for next week because I think there are some legitimate issues that need to be brought out there Though so anyway, do you know always? Also says if you get baptized in the name of the father son and holy ghost, you're not safe. Okay What that means in the name of there are different ways you say it Um, one common way is is the phrase at pay onoma the word onoma is where we get the word in greek Name and it means a couple things. It could mean a person nomenclature meaning your name like john bob Mary or it could mean reputation what you're doing When they say to do something in the name of something It's never ever ever to be taken as you have to verbally say that name. Let me give you example Jesus tells us how to pray And he says how does he how does he conclude how we should pray? In the name of jesus What you don't see after that is when people pray they don't say Verbally verbatim in the name of jesus. Why because that's not what is meant This is where study kind of helps and to get an understanding of what was meant Because we are so far removed from it all we can just see is the english words and things. That's what that means No, it means on the basis of on account of or what you're doing So when we say to baptize Jesus says to baptize in the in the name of the father the son and the holy spirit The apostles say to baptize in the name of jesus Questions are going to be what baptism is he talking about Secondly, um, let's say he's saying to physically water baptize somebody You mean to tell me if the person that's doing the baptizing not me I'm getting baptized and let's say let's say because they believe that this is crucial to salvation So you mean tell me I get dip and because the the guy that's dipping me said the wrong words I'm not legitimately saved or the whole baptism was illegitimate. No, it's not that that's silly to just even think of that but This is where the studying comes from and gino gennings is known for he said this that that uh, Greek and Hebrew didn't welcome there. Well, I I No one I don't get up and preach This may come as a shock to you guys, but when I preach I don't preach Greek in Hebrew. I really I really don't um When when I'm teaching I go over it but Every pastor should have some sort of familiarity with Hebrew and Greek just so you wouldn't say something like he just said That uh in the name of Jesus or in the name of the Holy Spirit Father some Holy Spirit or two different things or not. It's based on or because of what they've done We believe that Jesus got we believe the Holy Spirit is God. We certainly that the father's God So It's the same thing. He's referencing the same work so he is a hundred percent wrong on that and I think a better understanding of studying the scripture would help him out a lot in that regard Let's see Is there and this is a good question. Is there um A limit to repentance Where does where does the reprobate mind come into play? Well, if the mind is reprobate, then they can't have repented Because we're changing the way we're thinking about something and the person is reprobated That means first of all the word reprobate means that he's been passed over meaning that he's been left in his sin and so That person who's left in their sin they hadn't changed their mind about sin When you come to christ, it is All those things come together It's why you see seemingly three or four or five different ways to become saved to get baptized repent Confess have faith right let's end the same thing different ways Because you cannot Confess christ. He cannot become your lord and savior if you haven't repented You cannot be baptized in the spirit if you haven't repented all those things now the ordering of it We don't know people fight over that With god, there is no time sequence In many cases and so we're trying to figure out with our little finite mind how to how to how this all sub works in terms of time But I know this you cannot Confess your sins without having a repented heart You just can't and so repentance is a one-time thing But it's a way of living it's a lifestyle Okay, so repentance is a lifestyle I live as a repented person that I'm bothered by my sin and by your sin and just by the sins of the world Sin in general bothers me. It just it stinks. It feels funny. It's uncomfortable, right? It's like a itchy tweet blank You know So it should bother you day one Sin should bother you day 101 for a year 100 Okay, and so all that answers the question. There was something I just saw Bernice Fagin says come on Cory adultery is adultery. You're right adultery is adultery Can you be can you be forgiven for it? And if you have been forgiven for it, then what do you do? Kind of like what david brawley says will send go and send them more than don't send anymore Don't do it again because I can promise you this The person who's been in it If he cannot feel comfortable because think about it How would it be to be a believer and go through the rest of your life? I'm feeling as though god doesn't love you god hadn't forgiven you That's the whole point of what he did on the cross to to to atone for each and every sin and so You don't ruin Everything by ruin more ruining more lives. So that's just And if you listen if you guys disagree, I mean, it's it's fine. We can listen. We can disagree on this Okay, we can disagree and still be brothers. This is hey, Cory. Love you man. I hate your coach and hate your your belief on repentance and adultery Okay, so How long did it take you to learn greek? Still learning it I get better and I get worse because what happens with it same with hebrew and what was funny is I started learning hebrew before I learned greek. I'm better at greek than I am hebrew But what happens is it's like anything else the more that you stop utilizing it And this use of it You start missing some things. So what I do is I'll go to my cards from time to time my old Flash cars Because if you don't read because sometimes you come across a word that you hadn't read every word in in a particular Pass it may only be found once or twice in the entire bible And so it's good to kind of familiarize yourself with it And I was at a point in time where I had I wasn't reading it as much And I would go back and reference it so I tried to Pull up the screen and have the greek beside it so I can make myself read it more But it's one of those things that until I become Totally proficient at it, which probably won't ever happen It's an ongoing thing, but I've been I've been I first started studying it in Wow 2012 yeah 2012 2011 maybe 10 The years are running together I can't Can you keep the Sabbath without being under the law I only ask because I hear from so okay This is the funny thing about the Sabbath we think that keeping the Sabbath means going to church on saturday Where do you get that from oh the jews started going to the synagogue on on on saturdays Well, isn't it the the word a little the Sabbath is really is is the cause of the word rest It's exact same word the Hebrew call word. So It's a day of rest. So can I rest on saturday and go to church on sunday? That's exactly what the apostles and the early church did right These people were devout believe you people that were that were filled with the Holy Spirit and were the foundation of the church When do they make as a custom to gather together with the church on sunday? Now if you decide that you want to go to church on saturday just out of I'm not quite sure So I'll go to church on saturday something wrong with that now if you feel like you have to Go to church on saturday if it's required and that if you don't do it you're sinning That's tantamount to really keeping an aspect of the law And you you are never allowed to keep one aspect of the law. I don't get this people Not you but people will think that it's okay to keep one aspect of the law and not the rest Where does that come from when paul? Clearly states that if you're going to keep one you got to keep the whole thing And if you miss one you are guilty of the whole thing. So Oh by the way, I'm gonna I'm probably gonna cover this sometime Um There's a couple paths. I think one's in limitations. I forget where the other one is We're guided so disappointed with He's disappointed with israel and it says that I will take no part in your in your fees and your sabbaths anymore And so it's like well The reason why I gated the sabbath you are not honoring you to have defamed improved I mean you have defiled and profane them. So I'm not any you can have if you want to but I'm not there Uh, let's see Okay, I I agree with that. I'm not sure what what that's in reference to but I agree with that I'm never backing me. Oh, let me just tell you all the story. Let me just tell you all the story I said, I was gonna tell you guys the story why I cannot stand the cowboys Um, like most folks because of cowboy fans And the cowboy fan that was the most obnoxious and ruined it for me was my dear old mother We were playing the 49ers at the time I was a 49er fan The Colts had not moved to Indianapolis just yet They were two years away a year or two years away. Anyway So I'm a 49er fan And the cowboys had just driven down the field And taken the lead 27 to 21 And it's only a minute or two left and my mother she's dance She's like what every other cowboy fan obnoxious dancing and chanting. It's okay, baby Better luck next year. Get you better. You can you can cheer for my team. It's okay You didn't you you chose a bad team You don't do that to your son So, okay, I'm but I'm looking there. I'm I'm still watching the game because who knows something happened Just so happened the catch Uh cowboys don't like to hear that term the catch And the 49ers drive down the field and joe mind town finds Dwight Clark Uh in the corner over everson walls who my mother loved ever to shoot everson walls Let the league get an exception that year And so what did I do? Gave it back to where I started dancing. It's okay, mama You can you can cheer for my team better luck next year. You just chose a bad team. Maybe you you can move for the 49ers She grabbed the belt and said boy, she called his mother words I'm gonna say what she said grabbed the belt and threatened me. I said boy, that's cold. Well, you just did it Get out of my face So ever since then ever since then, uh, I have never I've just don't like the cowboys I don't like them then either but you know now I really don't like so Uh, let's see. Sorry, Cory. What's the side conversation on which bible is the final authority? I don't I don't have a preference as to Um, what bible is the final authority or I guess a better way to put it is Which bible version is better or which ones I shy away from as long as it's not the with the passion translation or the mirror Or certainly not the new world translation If you love the king james version love it too If you love the new king james version love it too. If you love the esv or the nasb Love it too. If you love the niv love it too Because all of them have a lack in some area because as I said before Even the people that translated as a matter of fact the The translation committee for the king james version Intended it listed this they intended For it to be translated again They recognized that there were some things that they were kind of lacking some things they didn't really have even at that time They had no ideas what other discoveries are going to come about And so every version which is why these translation committees go back Almost every year and go through them again Just to make sure hey, so we've got some new translate. We found some new paparize some manuscripts and fragments um There's all this is going on and and the problem is no translation Can completely convey The words literally and the thought you just can't do it I can write something down the best writer on the planet I still wouldn't fully be able to convey the thoughts of what I've written down If i'm going word for word I can try to convey the words in thought, but then what will I do? I will end up not having to put down the exact literal words, which means I can't do a word study So like the the niv the niv is not the same as the king james or new king james or nas nasb or esb Those are word for word as best they can give the literal and there is no such thing as a little Trans translation from greek or he wrote the english, but as best they can the niv is not that it's a thought for thought It's like like the paraphrase it's just saying This is the thought behind this was happening And so that's why the niv will look differently than the king james or new king james What have you they're meant to do different things Because neither can convey the actual words and the thoughts Simultaneously, the only way you can do that is to hear the person at that time in their tone. Okay, so Uh, let's see. I guess you're talking somebody else Okay, hold up michael hold on hold on buddy. I'm okay. Hold on Why would anyone want to bring life into this evil world? One minute. We're we're talking how cruel the world is and how many are going to hell and the lake of fire Then you say save a life for this cesspool Um, well Thankfully all of us can say Thank god that our parents didn't have that sentiment, right? The reason why you do one reason is because as as the bible says that our children will be um quivers or arrows in a quiver We are our children are to be used to promote the gospel and to fight Satan The less godly children there are Then the less gods word will be put out Now is this a horrible world? Yeah, and guess what? It was just as horrible when you and I were born I'm not sure how old you are michael. Let me look at your picture again Uh Okay I'm about to say you look like you up there, but I can't say that. Um, I can't tell how old you are But when you were born where there'd be 30 years ago 40 years ago 50 It was a horrible world then When your mother and father were born it was a horrible world then At the turn of the century world world one it was a horrible world At the time where the entire world was engaged in slavery horrible world It's always been that way. This has never been a good place. Um once the fall happened remember He destroyed the world with a flood Why because it was wicked has it gotten better has it gotten worse? It Almost on par, huh? The love of minimal wax cold and so uh in that regard There's some things that just seem obvious that we don't do And we seem like we were off our way to be evil But it's always been there now instead of being evil and secret. We're just more evil up front, but um I think and remember god created us to have children He didn't just put this together. Just uh, let's see what happens. No, uh, his intent was for us to be fruitful and to multiply It's a good question. I don't know I don't know they did lie Because how many of us have lied about our finances Those of you who still believe in the tithe How many of you don't give the 10 but act as though you do by the way One of the one of the problems I have is when people talk about the tithe And say well, you know, the tithe was never money. It was always produce. It was always grain and then And so I put my head down and I think to myself, okay How much currency did they have when people started giving the 10th? It's it's a goofy statement to even make that statement that it was only for Pro no, it was a tithe. It was a tenth of what you had Whether it was money or whether it was chickens or whether it was grains It was a tenth of it right, so Now Are we to pay the tide just in case one thinks i'm saying that No, you're not supposed to pay the tide. You're supposed to give an offering And if the offering is 20 20 percent if the offering is 2 2 percent You give out of the abundance of your heart out of out of a loving spirit in your heart if 3 percent allows you to give cheerfully didn't give 3 percent if 3.2 percent causes you to give grudgingly Then don't as he says don't give grudgingly That's how that works because guess what guys gonna do god will take what you got He doesn't he doesn't need your 3 percent or your 10 percent or your 20 percent. He didn't need any of it You can go back to having us live off of chickens and grains, which may end up happening. Who knows? Uh Jesus stop listening to jeno Jennings, please Let me scoot to the bottom because I I know you guys are um Thank you brother, uh kyle For the and the question is do we Accept jesus into our hearts In actuality in practice. No, we don't it's really him accepting us into him but when people and this There's this push back against Telling people to accept christ into your heart. There's a push back on having altar calls There's a push back on people giving people the the sinner's prayer well Did it work How many people came to know the lord because of they've been being told that you accepted christ into your heart How many people came to the lord as a result of an altar call? How many people came to the lord as a result of someone saying the the sinner's prayer? Is it the most doctorly sound thing? No, it's not. No, it's not Um, now have is having an altar call, uh, not biblical. It's not unbiblical. It's not unbiblical at all To have someone come up and hey, it's not unbiblical at all. Um, is it Prescribed that we have to do it. No, we don't have to do it. You can do it in your bedroom You can do it While you're brushing your teeth in the morning wherever you come to christ Or wherever you accept christ What we do we don't take him into our heart. We just trust in our heart That what he did on the cross covers and pays for my debt but In actuality, no, we don't actually invite him into our heart. Now does he kind of live in our heart? Yeah, but we're not the one inviting him. He's inviting us That's why he says you didn't choose me. I chose you. You didn't you didn't love me first. I loved you first No, man, I don't I I do not Yeah Translate from majority texts. I wouldn't put much stock into like said I wouldn't put my stock into any of them in terms of being the final authority again The final authority if we're gonna if we're gonna lean on anyone any any translation It's gonna have to be the hebra and greek and then even in that Which translation because even how we get the greek checks together I said I have I have what's called the critical apparatus which shows where there's a barrier between This greek text and that there's no two greek manuscripts or greek paparazzi Or fragments that are alike. They just aren't if I read john 11 from or john the entire book of john one From this manuscript. There's gonna be some differences. Maybe in word order or what have you maybe this one says Jesus This one says the lord. This one says he so there are variants in each one of them We know what they're saying and we have we have the point. So anyway, that being said Have you seen juan greek youtube videos? He's a charismatic apologist No, I had it all I was gonna say to me. I was gonna say that seemed like an ox more I'm not seeing more on right there, but I'm playing Uh, no, I haven't I haven't I'll I'll try to remember to check them out The uh, let's see the king james version got this wrong 27 I'm not sure which one you're talking about labeling the first week instead of the first Labeling the first week instead of the first shabbat the latin vogate says shabbat Which I'm not sure which which past you're talking about But there are some again like so there's there's issues with with A lot of them But you can trust every last one of them There was a guy who got upset with me because he thought that I was What do you say I was adding and taking away from the scriptures And then he quoted revelations 22 out of the king james version. I said well You talking about adding and taking away you want to be so uh legal legalistic and dogmatic It doesn't say from the book of life. It's the tree of life No, it doesn't okay. Well fine. Uh, let's see Okay, there there it is again. She says x 27 Well, let's go there and see what it says then x 27 I don't know why this is acting up right now It's not me. It's me acting up 27 on the first day of the week Uh, when we were gathered together to break red paul talked with them intending to depart the next day And he prolonged his speech until midnight And so the question is going to be what is the word that's usually the word that's usually for the Sabbath is the word sabbatom And so the question you're asking is Labeling the first day of the week instead of the first um Oh, I see I okay, I I think I see what you're saying You're asking or you're saying why is this thing not I'm trying to figure why is this thing there it is why is this thing acting up? um, so you're asking so let's see on the first Now on the first of the Sabbath Okay, and you're saying well it literally says on the first of the Sabbath So which would be the first day of the Sabbath? Okay, that that's how you would um If this makes sense, that's how you would translate that passage on the first day of the Sabbath the first of the Sabbath Um, that's how that that's how that that's uh to be taken. I don't know if that helps or not But that's how that's supposed to be translated on the first of the Sabbath Uh Amen. Amen. All right. Let's do a few more and then let's go enjoy our Fridays. How about that? I've got to uh There's a show that I've got to catch up on we have not been able to um binge And I want to watch a couple couple episodes. Let's see A body you have prepared for me So can I say that the word became flesh? Um, I will like I will like to believe this the word never had a body Oh, well, okay. You're talking about uh in Hebrews. I believe it was Hebrews 10 Um speaking about what about Jesus One I think we get caught up too much into the word the word and we're trying to make it out into something that it's not Um, but clearly Jesus is called the word And clearly he takes on flesh And clearly that's what's being referenced to in Hebrews when he says Sacrifices and offerings you did not desire but a body you have prepared Because that's what Jesus came for he came to fulfill the law the law required that there be this atonement and rather than there being um A sacrifice of animals In their blood it was Jesus Who whose body was prepared for him? Okay, so, uh, I don't know. I I think I'm answering your question. You're you saying again Um, I would like to believe this the word never had a body No, the word did have a body Jesus is the word he did have a body he dwelt among us and we beheld him Um as the only begotten of the father So or is the glory the only glory of a father let me see Corey And whatsoever was not found written in the book of life Oh, and whosoever was that found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire revelations 20 verse 15 All right, let's go there and let's see if I am incorrect Oh, I see okay, I see why this thing keeps doing this to me. All right, so let's read the passage And anyone's name was not found written in the book of life He was thrown okay that that I see what you're saying That's not the passage I was relating to David the passage I was talking to was revelations 22 where Let's go there where it says And anyone's name is taken away I've taken the words of the book of this prophecy God will take away his share in the and now This is the esb is saving the nasb The tree of life the king james verge will have the book of life, but it is clearly The tree of life so That's what I was referencing when I said what I said so I will say this though, david and it's not a problem. I don't want you to think it's a problem, but One day just one day you're gonna say, you know what? Corey you're right on that because you don't give you which is cool. You don't give me an inch you won't And I know we are on on opposites theologically, which is cool. It really is and so Whatever questions you throw my way. I'm gonna try to answer. I'm gonna try to answer the best I can Hopefully We have some commonality. We see eye to eye But man, I it'd be nice. It'd be nice Maybe for Christmas it'd be Christmas gift from you that you would say core. That was a good job You didn't say question perfectly Um Do I agree with the teachings of my husband love my friend Monroe? My friend loves him, but my wife can't stand him. Some of this stuff Does well my husband will say some good things, but everyone does. I mean do I I kind of think I don't know But I kind of think that my own role might have been a person whose doctrine was wrong But his heart was right if that makes sense He seemed to be genuine, but then there are some red flags that come up and so I remember when I first became a believer I would listen to my own role and he was always talking about purpose purpose purpose I don't think in no way do I think that he was doctrinally sound And some of the things that he makes these these stretches where he's kind of Allegorizing or spiritualizing the text finally a deeper meaning But I I don't really I haven't really said a whole lot bad about him because he just passed away. So I don't he's got a lot of stuff on youtube though What do you think about a deliverance ministry that calls for people to seal your prayer with money and give money Sacrifice leave that ministry ignore that ministry report that ministry to heaven and the better business better business bureau That's not a ministry at all. It's a scam It's a sham. It's a travesty and a mockery. It says travel. What is the travesty and mockery? Do you believe in shouting when the cult score touchdowns I do But honestly, do I have a problem people shouting? I don't I do not have a problem with people shouting at all If they're doing so out of a genuine heart Meaning this if you're the kind of person that you watch a football game or you celebrate parties or anything else And you're just a emotional person and you shout I don't have a problem with you shouting when You just feel this move and you're just so excited about the lord and what he's done I don't have a problem with that at all now if you are normally a reserved person And you go to shouting because maybe it makes you look better or what have you then I'm not for that because now That's manufactured is fake. I can't be bothered with anyone doing anything genuine now a genuine sin Yeah, we can correct that but if the person is genuine that can be fixed The person is now if you're shouting and we're trying to pray Well, okay, wait a second. I can I can't even say amen because all I heard was you just shouting in my ear. So There there needs to be kind of a time and place when you do things and not to be a spectacle of yourself So he says mom my husband wrote back to before he died I don't I can't say yes or no I don't know So if you've got some some I take your word for it Of course, I'm not the one putting him in heaven or hell. So but I don't know how how did he backslide? What did what did he do? I see Thank you for your video Marcus Rogers. What are your thoughts about why he likes to use the term casual christians? Will become casualties when the bible because what he's trying to do is he's trying to make it seem as though His way is the right way folks that disagree with him. We just we don't have the script. We don't have the spirit and so it's his way of kind of Putting down people who disagree with him and that we're in for it Marcus Rogers is is as Theologically and biblically as literate as they come he really is You know, I'm not saying it's a hard issue. I said before I think maybe his issue is Maybe intellectually he just that he hadn't been taught or trained Maybe his heart is in the right place but he says some things like Young man stop it And then when you want to question him first of all the first time that you get gave your false prophecy You should just been you should have shut up then you should have really been shut down And you should have lost all of your followers because you you proposed it you report to speak for god and people people literally People who don't who dislike the body Use your words to make the body of christ and the name of christ look bad You are now in my opinion disqualified At least at least momentarily, but you hit you show no contrition um no remorse and It's like a guy like a guy being caught in the sense that all right. I'm sorry. You caught me. I won't do it again And really what you did was you doubled down on it and you try to make it seem as though well God's prophecy or giving the guys prophecy about how as a coy was wrong. He changed his mind. So the same thing happened here Stop it sit down somewhere Um Anyway, all right guys, let me do a couple more Is it possible to be spiritual without being christian? Yeah, I mean, uh There's a spirit of sin. You could be that kind of spiritual. Um I guess satan is The opposite side of the spirit. Um, but if you're talking about spiritual like in a good way, no You can't be People use that word and so fun be spiritual. You're still going to hell. Let me get a couple more Apparently there's a lot more questions on this thing. Okay Thank you perfectly perfect. That's a cute name perfectly perfect. Um Peer peer character dancing under a rain of confetti and Taking his hat off to say you are amazing. Oh, thank you Oh, I see what that is. Okay. Okay Because I'm look okay. I have to look at it on the other screen and see what that thing was. Okay People keep asking this question. What is the church that I go to and I have been hesitant because I First of all when I say the church, you know what people are gonna do Go to that church. They believe this they believe that and I don't want that coming to the church it's a smaller church actually my um My second oldest daughter Um goes to this church and her her husband They go to this church and so the pastor came to speak with me and said, you know, I'll go there and so We go there the name of the church The holy ghost let me speak in town so I can decipher if I should tell you guys no, I'm kidding Um, no the name of the church is harvest bible fellowship Uh, now I do go and also visit my other daughter. She is a worship leader um for the youth At a church out in Fort Worth And so it's a cool church cool little church. Uh, and so we'll go out there too Because that's my baby. I want you know, she's singing and so daddy wants to go see her sing You know sing to the lord, which is which is cool. God that is cool To know my baby is singing for another daughter. She also sings in the in the praise and worship ministry there too But so does the other that's her that's her whole goal in life. She wants to she just wants to sing to the lord She didn't want to sing um r&b. She didn't want to sing opera. She wants to sing praise and worship so She does that daddy'll keep taking care of you. You can be here till you're 40 now you get married He got to take care of you. That's different. But right now she she's more than welcome Right living witness for you are you another one. That's that's just on me. You say I have I think I'm I'm thinking you're referring to me. I have no elders to be accountable to how do you know that? How how do you how do you actually know that I'm just Okay, so That is if you're talking to me about me if you're not I apologize Oh, you know what? I'm sorry. I'm so see I apologize I apologize bad Cory because I think I think you're talking about I think you're talking about marcus Think you're talking about marcus, right? I think and so I apologize But you do go hard on me sometimes though, uh, at least what I was checking out the chat yesterday So I apologize bad Cory. I owe you apology Um, wow these things are coming in faster than I can um answer these things Okay Yeah, he is market And he's younger um that I am He's only a few years older than my oldest child But being young is not an excuse to do the wrong thing Especially when you want to be in leadership, there's a there's a call for maturity Which is why the jews had it to where? You weren't going to do anything till after your 30th birthday because it would be hopeful that you would have learned some things so What happens is he's insulated and people like to get insulated around people who say yes and amen and clap and pat them on the back um and You get a lot of uh decent-looking young fella And so you got even women who you know who want to support him and and you know for Some of y'all may know what that's about and so you can't say anything bad about the person and Tell markers to pick up a bible and come see me and mark like I said before he did Try to message me and I saw the little messenger. I saw his name So I clicked on it and he deleted it. So uh, and then I was going I was trying to say this because I thought Something was going to happen Brandon Tatum came to his defense And he said something. I said well, listen, whatever you're saying Brandon You've made a statement unless you and I talk since you're so eager to go on Any of these new stations and talk about something political then certainly you can come and talk about something spiritual And he said bet when I said we can do it tomorrow. We can do it monday We can do it tuesday whenever I said, but I'll tell you what first off Yes, send me an email. So let's talk so we can you know set some ground rules It's not gonna be a uh, let's go back and forth and kind of uh, your mama this your daddy You know what I'm gonna be one of those things, but I hadn't heard back home. So um people of that ilk tend to not want to um discuss the scriptures So take care for what is worth, but I would I would love to sit down with with mark I would love to do it, you know, I would do it on camera. So by phone I did the same thing with with uh with bryce and gray who was wow. He's something else bryce and gray is is uh If you know who he is he's he has the same belief in the uh in the trinity and He's not gonna listen either Let's see. Hold on. What's he say based off your knowledge of the original language Do you think it was jesus in the fire with the story of shadirek mieshek and abetnego in the book of daniel? Well, what does he call him? He says I see one like the sun And so The only person that's ever given that term In the definite definiteness definiteness. I said it right there the definiteness using the definite article the is jesus so Every time and we see this throughout history in the scriptures what we call these theophanies or christophanies these deity showing up in the form of human form we see it all throughout scripture and Jesus says You look at the old testament it testifies of me. How's that? Well, because you've been walking around all this time when you met when you when when you wrestled with um With jacob when you met hagar. We know it's you because it could not be Uh, the fullness of the father because we couldn't be in his sight Oh, by the way, that was you that led the children of israel out of egypt That was you that fellowship with and tabernacle Before moses and we talk about your your glory and then of course john tells us that you It is your glory you are that this glory of the father That beheld that we beheld and became flesh and dwelt among us and so this tabernacle This shekinah this this dwelling glory. It's always been jesus And so yeah, I I do believe without question that that's who that was The pre-incarnate christ Do we still entertain angels? Hebrews 13 too. Let's go to it and see what you're referring to buddy Hebrews I don't know why i'm feeling good. I think this is friday though. I don't I don't really have a friday So I don't know why i'm feeling this way, but i'm feeling pretty good Hebrews 13 too. Let's go to it Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers for thereby Some have entertained angels unaware. So do I believe That uh, we may still entertain angels. I don't have a reason to think that that scripture is no longer in force So, yeah Do I think because we don't see them we that we think that angels aren't around that I involve Of course, the flip side is we don't think that demons and satan is around and involved We have this view that out of sight is out of mind and so because we don't see it We think it's not there my daughter my oldest daughter when she was Three or four or five something like that. She was playing hide and seek with a friend of my wife And What did britney do britney put a um She put a sheet over her So that she could hide Her thought was since I can't see them They can't see me problem was britney was in the middle of the floor Put the sheet over her head and just knew that my wife's friend couldn't find her They're so cute and so I pulled the sheet off of her and she's like, how'd you find me? How'd you see me? So we do the same thing because we don't see it or them we think that we that they're not there And so I believe that that scripture is still is still applicable Now to what degree how so I couldn't tell you Couldn't I tell you this one of those things where God does things or things are happening where we have not been We have not been told so Anyway, okay carla what what um are you guys back in revelations again? Hold on. What did you say? Should issues of salvation should be our primary focus Yes and no, um, yes initially if a person is not saved then There's no need to talk about things like the Sabbath. There's no things to talk talk about Excuse me spiritual gifts The secondary things are secondary until the person is is a believer and so that comes first but then after that We we have to deal with the things that aren't relating to salvation But truth be told everything does write the salvation because it depends on what sort of life we live while on this earth and so As a believer I'm saved But my salvation is still Um, it still governs my life on this earth if that makes sense so Hold on I almost think that me and david We've come to to An agreement here. So I wish there's some sound effects on this thing somewhere. So I should find them and push them How important is doctrine? Well, how important is the bible because what the bible is? It's a book of teachings and in david says not david Um Paul talks about we should um teach Um, what the chords would sound doctrine and all the word doctrine means is just teaching. So It is vitally important Without it without that then we have nine gods like Like benny hens said there's nine of them not a trinity. There's nine of them or without it We can be like paul white Saying that that uh, jesus is not the only begotten or we can be like noelle jones who supports Mother moon who she says she's the only begotten daughter Uh of god So doctrine is very important and paul says the time will come and they will not endure sound Teaching sound doctrine, but they will heap on themselves Teachers because they have these itching tickling ears. I want to hear what I want to hear so When we talk about the greatest quarterback ever Um, people don't know anybody they want to hear about time brady But folks who know better know that Peyton manning is the best ever and so I want to hear that right If we're talking about football and you're a cowboys fan and you just I don't know what's wrong with you You want to hear about how great the cowboys are We like to hear what we like to hear and we disagree with someone who says something that makes us not feel too Someone says hey, listen, I think something's wrong with your hair. What's what's going with your makeup? Why how do you don't want to hear that when someone tells us hey, I look good for example Any you all you'll have seen those those little two two-sided mirrors this one mirror That has uh, wait a second. I see some blasts for me I'll get that in a second the mirror that has it shows us the way we like to see it And then the other side of the mirror shows us Everything magnified and you can see the pores and blemishes That's the most accurate depiction of us and we don't want to see that because it makes us look at feel bad So turn the other mirror around as a matter of fact, I'll use instead of using a mirror I'll do one better I'll use this phone and put the app on there where it makes myself look a little bit younger Less blemishes and so forth. That's the one I want to see We like to see ourselves in a distorted light because we like looking good to ourselves, right? Shanice, you are absolutely right. I think we've hit that error now There was way too much emotionalism being preached instead of some it is It is because what makes you feel good. Listen if they feel good, they give good And so that's what people are doing nowadays All right now hold we've got to address this And might be in the might be in the market for a new moderator This time's ring says otherwise Listen, mr. K. Let me help you out Just because you've got more rings more victories that's the meaning thing because right now Satan's got a bunch of victories too So he's got more followers than anybody. I'll say this in all sincerity in all seriousness He's had the best coach ever He's always had when he wants every time he's won a Super Bowl He's had a top 10 defense and a top 10 running game Peyton Manning hadn't had that So he's done less. He's taken four bum coaches To the Super Bowl no one's ever done that four different coaches Anyway, I told you how the Lord loves the coats. I gave y'all scriptures to have the Lord when they asked you Why do you have the why are you taking the coat? Tell them the Lord needs the coat Amen, I preach that right there Okay, hold on hold on something Corey since having cancer. I have a different view on life. I am constantly reading studying and examining myself Even some of my church members have not stand Are stand are not standing office towards me. What is going on? Well, one you're not sweating the small things I can tell you all this When you When you've been faced with your own mortality or when you've been placed in a position where The smaller things don't even matter anymore the things that we might think were important They they life has become put in perspective for you And so people can sense that man. It's got something different about you. You're you enjoy to be around um, your your spirit, uh might be contagious like this person just affect Affectious, I like this person just nicer and so forth. And so that's probably what that is. That's just that's just that's growth It's like what paul went through paul went through some growing And as he was at his worst, he became a nicer paul. I don't know if you all notice this in his writings paul's writings seem to soften up a little bit The the closer he gets to death the more he's in prison and going through and that's kind of how life Just does you sometimes when you get drug You don't do you don't you're not as prone to do some more drug or you're not as prone to be as tough or hard with people so More blasphemy on the channel and rogers over patent this guy most overrated quarterback Anyway, uh, let's see Would you be okay with the ministry that warns you about leaving? Because if you do You doomed you're gonna miss your deliverance That's that actually makes me leave quicker They say yeah, if you leave you go miss your blessings right around the corner and god is gonna be I'm going You know what? I was thinking about not leaving but since you said that I'm gone now. Bye So you talked me out of this you took you talked yourself out of a sale so Somebody ought to put that in the bible John that preaching the cross is foolishness to them that are lost so Do you think it's guys will that all churches should come together? We should we won't Uh, and even in that still have you noticed this that whether it's church of christ church of god christ Methodist Baptist Episcopal whatever all these different denominations and here in the metroplex You've got a different church and different denomination on every other corner As a matter of fact, there's one little area where there are one two There are four churches like kind of the same corner one's a big church and Here's what I know my my former pastor brought this to my attention when I was thinking, you know, that's wrong We should have all these different these different denominations these different churches guys not happy with that And he said quarry He said at the church of christ the church of god in christ the method is the baptist which baptist all of the Baptists was 40 different baptists out there Uh was pentecostal charismatic He says do people come to christ? In those churches I said, well, yeah, not in every last one of them every week But yes, he said well, who's behind that god or satan? Well, obviously god is behind that And if god is behind that that means he's even using our foolishness our Our divisiveness our divisions. He's still working in that because guess what the pentecostal person can do that I can't do He can bring the person who was brought up around pentecostal people to christ Probably in a way that maybe I can maybe he can relate to them better Are you with me? That sounds kind of hot, but if a person who's used to this sort of church where it's um A lot of intensity a lot of music a lot of shouting and so forth He's not a believer But he thinks that's what church is supposed to be like and then a person who's kind of more reserve Comes like I don't know what you got but there's another person like who's got more charisma to them Might leave them and so god uses those kind of things. That's how he can use a drug an ex an ex drug offender Who is who has come to christ to bring another Drug abuser to christ someone who's gone through this can help someone else who's gone through that so He used those things. It's amazing how how god can even over our jump use stuff, right? what One day I came in contact with a woman that had they said god had seven sons And jesus is not god's only son. I didn't go into do yeah Simon that's what you call wisdom there What could you possibly say? I've learned that that sometimes you just cannot you just cannot debate or try to Reason with some people sometimes you say, okay. Yeah, you know what you are absolutely right. I'll leave you there The cross is not the end of the holy battle. I'm not sure. What do you what do you mean by the cross? It's not the end of the holy battle. I'm not I'm not sure the point that you're making Okay. All right. I really mean it. I'm gonna I'm gonna take a couple more and then Uh jump off Hold on. I like that. I like that God exalts those who make themselves low, which people don't want to do is to make yourself Let me let me tell you guys a story that to me Uh personifies humility during my stint When the government had me on Simon, uh behind bars I try to come with different ways to say this but anyway We when we want to go and eat or get something from commissary you can only go at this prison once a week And usually you can go on your day. You can go in the morning or the afternoon Well, if you work or you got class to go through or what have you you go to commissary with other inmates in the afternoon You can go in the morning, but you'll go in the afternoon, right? If you're scared whatever your schedule dictates Well, there's one guy christian brother a hispanic guy As humble as they come him. He made me feel so bad because I was nowhere near as humble as this guy was Now what happens is they have this thing called inventory where The following week or the next two weeks. They may not have commissary So if you want to have some extra food, it would have you in your locker and listen guys Let me tell you this you don't know this Prison food is horrible It just is horrible. You do not eat it for the taste, but you better eat it because you're gonna die and so You better have some commissary in your locker like some coffee or you may want to have some soup or some beans what have you And today was the last day. It was a thursday. It was his day and He was waiting in line the line was long long So we're waiting in line about an hour He's coming up and and one of the security guards one of the officers one of the guards calls him over And he's like, yeah, I gotta go over to i'm in commissary. Can I can I kind of come over no And sometimes the guard take advantage of their position No, if you're not you go into the hole you're going to the shoe the shoe is that's the Special housing unit where they lock you up and you in the cell either by using what you may call solitary It's like but it's commissary. It's the last it's the last day my last opportunity for the next two weeks And I don't have anything in my locker I don't care. So anyway, so the guy goes over there He comes back as quickly as he can they have already called his name and he can't There's nothing to do about it He said no, you need to write that guy up and you need to go back there and the guy's like It's okay. It's okay But you don't have any comes or you don't have it's okay. God is good. It's okay. He said I'll still be alive after this God is God is good and That moment y'all I'm all about to cry again because at that moment I had to kind of turn away. I was I was blown away Because there's a lot of anger and Intensity in prison. There's a lot of emotion people Is rough is hard and this was this was a hard prison. This was this was the prison that had the highest homicide rate in in the Bureau of prisons and Rather than trying to be the man and show him who's boss whatever he just he acted in a way that You just don't see whether in prison or out and He's the kind of person that would be lifted up. So what happened to this guy and I'm sure this this was his pattern He ends up getting early release. He got released from prison early. I don't know what it was that happened God But he leaves a few years earlier than his sentence was up. And so like you said, yeah God will exalt the folks who are who have lowered themselves who are lonely and And when I was sitting there waiting thinking that uh, lord, what about me? I get released a lot earlier and at this moment He makes you because we don't we forget that sometimes the cousin of of humility being humble is also humiliation And so you can voluntarily humble yourself or he can do it in the form of humiliation so anyway Born in 1991 Wow I was in college as a matter of fact, you know what take it back. I was also born in 1991 I mean, I was born again in 1991. I came to christ in 91 So that's cool young fella. Yeah, well, you know what? I don't are you a woman or a male? Shaving shaving 25. I'm not sure I think youtube should make you guys put m or w or m or f Besides your names we know we're talking about Yeah, I was going to put that coming up. I didn't know what you mean by that what you mean by that john so If if we're trying to keep wallet commandments my uh, retort would be good luck with that As a matter of fact, let's let's let's go there. Let's go to um Let's go to first john 24 john for john. I want I want to pull this passage up I keep saying the last a couple questions and what I do keep keep doing some more 24 Okay, and I gotta click over here then click back over there and then we're good. Okay And by this we know that we have come to know him If we keep his commandments Who whoever says I know him but does not keep his commandments His is a liar and the truth is not in him, but whoever keeps his word Um In him truly the love of god is perfect. Now what I want you to notice john and everyone else is this He says the one that's keeping let's go over to I got the greek out might as well use it I'm gonna let me pull this out make this Kind of make this bigger. Okay I'm gonna pull this out. So he says whoever says I know him but does not keep His commandments the word is teron, which is teret. Oh, which is to complete to fulfill to guard He says we're right here It is in The participle which means this john anyone else that means that this particular word is Um, a person who is keeping them that mean that they It is a it's a pattern of their life that they are How do I put this? This is where the it's hard to kind of make the the greek fit. It's not that they have kept them Because no one has kept them Anyone who says they have kept them Is a liar also So it can't mean that the person has kept the law But they are have what they have a practice of trying to keep it. Are you with me? That's what the word is trying to convey And what he means by commandments he does not mean I think people see when they see the word commandment They must naturally think that he means to tend commandments. That's not what it means. The word is just his teachings So if you are keeping his teachings Okay, this word right here is uh, uh, I'm sorry. I go back to the word, but I don't have it on screen This word right here Okay, I lost my cursor Verse four, I know it's antelase. Where's it at? Where is it at? Oh, there it is Um Antelous, which is commandments, which also means his teachings what he commands us to do And so the point is this if we're not keeping what he taught us to do Is he referring to the 10 commandments? He is absolutely not referring to the 10 commandments um He is talking about his teachings What are his teachings? Well We have the scriptures for that, but it's not it's not the old testament teachings that that you might be thinking of So if that helps if that kind of makes it clear um Why should you put this? Ah Let me turn it off phone going off, which I meant to turn off. I don't know why that's going on. Sorry guys Thank you so much. Tamitra God bless you sister. Thank you Let's see Let me take a couple more for sure for sure for sure or as they say for real for real Let me take a couple more and let them be that oh, I appreciate that Listen, I what I need you to do is to uh email my wife and tell her that because she Oh, she she uh, uh, she didn't think so and sometimes I'm not sometimes I'm too playful um, and you know how you say stuff, um To your spouse or to a close family member that you wouldn't say to everyone else you know that guy Not on cuss, but you say some things and Now honey, I'm not gonna say that you know on camera or I'm not gonna say that I'm just telling you, you know the guy's a jerk I won't tell him that he's a jerk. So anyway, uh, I I think I am more I might I would say I'm humble But I'm more humble than I used to be that's for sure um God has a way of doing that when you get crushed And then you get back up and try to puff your chest out He crushes you again and you get up and he crushes you again And then you get up and you don't puff your chest out and he crush you again just for good measure All right. God. I got it. I got it. Okay Um Now hold on John John John. Love you, bro. Let me ask you a question Jesus said do all things whatsoever. I command you do you do all things that he commands you And I'm not saying you do or you don't And I'm not sure this is what you're doing I just want to make sure that either you or no one else is doing either you know Or anyone else is doing it and that is you holding yours or anyone else will standard that we ourselves are not able to keep Our goal is to strive to get the best effort we can we're going to fall You are going to fall you are going to sin If you say you do not sin as you like one of these guys out here who says I don't sin Then the bible says john says you are a liar. I know that's not you We do our very best To live for him We want we're not sinless. We shall sin less the closer we get to him Uh, it's a lot of trial and error in our on our part and it's not on the guys part It's us because we have these new ways to figure things out And that's why God brings us down because sometimes it takes us being brought down to realize. Okay fine I've tried everything else out. I'm gonna try you out. God. I'll go ahead and listen to you And we'll we'll learn this lesson until next week Um that we have a new sin to deal with or a new issue to deal with so anyway Uh my brother simon said thank you again simon Love our neighbor and pray for those who despise us not be like Like it's called people gummy he called gummy gummy bear christians. Is that what okay and see I don't know if he's actually been in these real big battles where You're the true measure of a person's faith comes through um when you've got to deal with someone who Despises you and God wants you to show some some love to that person um I don't know But you show a lot of immaturity when you call when you do name calling especially in public You can think it man this guy this guy's a cruddy. He's a jerk. He's this he's that It's one thing to say it thinking it and then to know better to let it come out of your mouth That's what wisdom is maturity is the difference between Us as adults and children is that we are to have more self-control Kids let everything come out of their mouth We don't one of my children. I won't say which one Um thinks it's okay from time to time it'll give give a person a piece of your mind well Proverbs begs to differ a person who gives Their own mind their own opinions is a fool according to God And so to always say what you think about a person or to put someone down Who has the audacity to think that you're not perfect and to and to complain about what they think that you're wrong on That's just not wise or smart plus the fact that let's just be honest Marcus You won't ever stand up to anyone's Biblical scrutiny you won't ever say okay. Let's talk about this The only time I ever saw you talked to somebody it's like i'm talking to Marcus right now the only time I ever saw him sort of do that is when Uh, you know alan par and what do you mean guy and I think I might have roots line They had him on And it's really alan par and roots line. I mean alan par and um, the what do you mean guy? What is his name? I forgot his name, uh, I should know that I'm subscribed to his channel But anyway, they were talking to him And there was no humility When the entire world knows you were wrong because trump didn't win and they were calling you on that and so All he did was fight and push back And and his next it's not a heaven or hell issue. So You don't even have enough sense of taking it. I'll just say you know what I was wrong And so That's that's the scary part about it. And now people are actually signing up to to be under your leadership That's not leadership. It's just not but hey He did you're right chris. He he doubled down. He doubled down and If trump runs again I think if anybody runs against biden at this moment, I might I might be in political but at this moment at this moment um This cup will be biden easy. He'd man listen his his ratings are in the in the in the in the tub right now in the toilet right now And so if trump were to run right now, I think trump would win. I'm not saying in three years And so if that were to happen, you know what marcus would do This is what I prophesied is what the lord showed me Right. I mean you all know that's what's what happened, right? So So I know people who are trump fans. Um, who knows about marcus was probably rude against trump. Yeah, so anyway um Okay, let me answer this question. He said would would you have communion every day you can He says often as you do this do this in remembrance of what's happening now You just why don't you do it in the right fashion? Don't be those who do it in a in a uh In an ungodly fashion not knowing what you're doing it for Not considering where we are remembering His flesh and his blood And you do so in an unworthy manner Um, but it's okay to do it every day if you want to you can do it every every other week every week There is no timetable that's given you can do it once a month You can do it once a year again. There is no It's not given to us, but as often as you do meaning that you ought to do it Sometimes so And then what bread should you use or what have you it doesn't really matter Um I know that some people kind of play around with it to kind of get the kids You know, I've seen some folks, you know use doritos Um with it and use some um some juice And you can't use doritos. Well, you can't use uh You can't use grape juice either then can you? Because he used bread and wine So um, the point is what you what you are remembering about What christ did Now you shouldn't just you know, because what we'll end up having that might be wise Unwise use doritos because what are the kids going to do? They're gonna have fun with anything but can I get some more doritos? So um I firmly believe by We'll not run again come what cannot win period trump will run again The only democrat that will beat uh, the republican uh, the republican is obama And I didn't want to do because I know it's gonna happen We're gonna get political because if I ask you guys your ages, you guys are gonna go there And so this is gonna become a political issue. Let me ask her. Uh, we are in war Um question. I am a newbie here What does it mean if you are not hearing god's voice anymore after you went through a season of willful sin? Okay now There's uh Two roles that you can travel down Some people say that god doesn't speak some do Um, I believe both And here's what I mean that um God doesn't speak like hey like Jesse the planets, um walking the room and god was there and we started talking Jesus was talking and I gave him a big old bear hood That's just foolishness. That's silly Uh, do I think that he gives these audible the lower told me to tell you I don't know But do I believe that he speaks to us? Well, yeah, because in the prayer, um He says give us this day our daily bread and lead us now. How do you lead somebody? And why do you pray if if there's not going to be anything back? Um, so What do I think it's like some of these people have taken have just run a muck with no I do believe that he leads the heart and and and speaks to us In that regard and then the way that you test it is by the word because he's not going to tell you like what's the guy Clarence MacLennan said that the lord told him to leave his wife again What he hates the worst the lord told you to leave his wife. So anyway, um You said that if if you're not hearing guys voice anymore after you went through a season of willful sin um I would say this There could be a disconnect. I always tell people this and I'll tell you this um You look fairly young and you look younger than probably my kids. Well a couple of my kids So I would tell you this. I'm sweetheart do this um Make sure like paul said like jesus said make sure that you are a believer Make sure that Jesus is your lord. How do you do that? Do you believe that what he did on the cross? Paid for the debt that you owed And in believing so You just trust that he did so and that in doing so now you become baptized in the spirit He's your lord And a change now It's just repenting attitude. It's not doing it because the season is now It's christmas or i'm going through a bad time and that's the reason why I want um god of my life Now that's a good right now if if you are being um pressed and pushed and you being caused by the spirit to come to him That's fine But if it's like to get out of trouble for right now type of thing it's not going to work Uh, it's a sincerity where I know I need the lord. I really do and I know what he's done and I just can't do it on my own. I'm i'm just messed up Um, tour up. I'm there's nothing good in me. I keep i'm i'm a constant mess up And I hate it Because once you hate the sin that you do you are you are a prime candidate for salvation As a matter of fact, that's what the word repentance means And so first of all, let's make sure that's number one But if you are a believer And you're having these little dead periods these periods where you feel like um, he's not hearing you or you're not hearing him Keep reading Keep reading the bible keep praying Lord, I'm not sensing you. I'm not hearing from you. Please Show yourself to me. I'll never forget this. This is how I became a christian. I was in college And my uh my roommate I played football. He played basketball and he told me I used to pick on him I was one of those guys that used to antagonize christians And I said, how do you know all this christian stuff ain't just a big lie and this and that and he says something just real sweet um, I said, how do you know that if Um, this whole bible is just fake. He said, well, what if it's not and I don't know why that stuck with me Just what if it's not because if it's not then i'm in trouble And so he says cord just do this. He says I I can't explain it like you might want to have explained Um, but he says but if any man lacks wisdom, let him ask about it So I said, you know what? I went and prayed Lord I don't know if you're real. I don't know if i'm just doing something silly here or not. I do not know but um I know I mess up a lot and I don't want to and I want to know if you're real if you're real Would you some sort of way show me you I'm not going to tell you how to how to reveal yourself I'm not going to tell you got to do it on this day in this way And after that prayer I was sincere. I was sincere It's like everybody on the planet wanted to talk to me about Jesus I couldn't I couldn't watch tv for commercial coming on about Jesus and then and this is espn They don't have religious commercials on espn. What's going on? And then I knock on the door and somebody Is his mother and we're talking about something else and she says um, she asked me about my relationship with christ And so on august 6 1991 um Verbally I acknowledged my sin and christ what he did on the cross But um, I I've had periods where I've done some sin And shame and guilt comes in and I don't Because what do you do when you do something wrong? You don't want to face. I don't even want to look at my bible I just I'm like a little dog put my tail between my legs put my head down and go the other way um Don't be that way if you have engaged in any sort of sin Go to the word Sometimes the devil gets us to believe that the one thing we ought to do because I don't want to be I don't want to play with god I ain't gonna see anything and go start reading my bible go to church and start praying No, that's when you should the more you sin go closer to him That's the only remedy for sin him and his word the only remedy It's not this youtube channel. It's not any other channel. It's not any pastor any preacher The only remedy for sin is your proximity to him and your proximity to him is governed by your reading the word praying And then do your best to after that to fellowship around people who are seeking to get close to him the same way I don't know if that helps. I hope it does. Um, I know it works. I can tell you that Our problem your problem sweetheart is the same as my problem the same as everyone else's problem Our problem uh as relates to our life is proximity the closer we are to him The better things work out the further we are the harder is going to be the more sin Um, and the more Satan is at our door. So I hope that helps. I am going to take guys. I've been I've been saying this for the last hour I want to take one question I'm going to take one question Um, let me find one and then that's going to be it Um, this isn't a question, but this is true. I'm just Reiterate I'm broken in contract heart or a broken contract spirit the lord can never despise absolutely Um He likes that he he he loves because that's when you're at your your your most Vulnerable state you're honest with him. God. I'm man. I'm sorry Ah, and he already knows that he already he already knows you know good He already knows you're right. He already knows you're gonna mess up He already knows all that about you and and to still love you To love you and know that you know what I know what you're gonna do after this I know what you're gonna do in a week in two weeks in a year. I know that I still love you So Oh, okay, that's a state. That's not a question. Okay, born of yeah, born of of his will not a flesh Not of the will of man, but of his spirit of his will Um, okay now I'm running across comments and set of questions Send a good God's friend says sin does make you feel distant. It does it does Um, the thing is though, you're not though. Just remember that though It makes you feel distance and I'm sure this you're saying the same thing It makes you feel this and this is what you're not um Yeah, uh Trump How do I say this because I don't want I don't want to be on one side of the of the political aisle or the other Though that was my major in college political science. I thought I was gonna go into government But he will say some things because I don't care who you are. You gotta be honest Trump has a huge ego He just does Do I think you can be a A conservative or you can be a Christian and and I send that Christian means a conservative or vice versa But does that mean that you should vote for him? Because he doesn't espouse Christian qualities. Well neither does the other guy either. I mean, so let's be honest But what a president is is a tool for our political desires and leanings and so This is what he said Trump is the anti-christ and then I promise you I put that up I'll go down somebody's gonna say The Biden is the anti-christ. That's how it is or obama or bush. So Oh, yeah, somebody I said, okay, let me just let me see first another one Because this is the perfect time to enjoy the evening Somebody said, okay, who's using all caps? Okay, you guys want to ask some questions. So, okay, that's cool. Um Start over tomorrow and you want to kind of take the funny thing is Um, there's like four things that I'm deciding on for tomorrow Um, and I haven't come to it yet. It I it may be Daniel 70 week Which I probably won't be Um, it could be the beginning of these covenants. It was initially going to be Geno Jennings, but I just I wanted something doctrinal or happy Even though that bad boy would probably generate about 400,000 500,000 views, which is Um, so but I just I just don't want to I just I just don't want to Okay, well Okay, I was getting ready to say that was that but I see a question What do you think Jesus was like as a baby or toddler? Um, you know what's funny From I've had this question before and when I hear this question think about this question You know what I think about it's really goofy guys But when I see this question the first thing I think about is Uh, tall digger nights when they're at the table praying and you know, dear little uh, Six pound eight ounce gee baby Jesus. So anyway, what I think he was like, I think it's like a regular baby Um, I think that he would you know, he he you know poop compete like all little babies do He had to learn how to walk I don't I don't think he started walking when he was two months old And began talking in perfect sentences when he was nine months He went through the life of a regular a regular child How do we know this is that uh, not only were strangers astonished But even his parents were astonished when they found him at the synagogue teaching me You didn't know I was gonna be about my father's business Well, had he been some sort of prodigy, which he was more than a prodigy could be Had they seen a lot of it then they're like, well, of course, that's where he is But they were even, you know, kind of in an amazement as well. And so I believe he was he was a regular child I don't think that he was probably going around, you know, um taking up a little kid's blocks Or was he turning people's blocks into castles? I don't I don't know We'll find out one day get to ask them Jesus. What were you like as a when you were a baby? I'll tell you what it was better than my kids when they were Babies and toddlers that's for sure. So anyway, um guys Yeah, you guys are going through something here. So I'll I'll leave I'll leave it alone chrisley ask this question. Uh, the next time probably tomorrow, uh, do you have an experts on john 15? First part Do I have two part do I have another You know what I'll tell you what I'll tell you what I'll do real quickly. I'm gonna give you a real brief Something on john 15 john 15 Jesus is speaking the issue with john 15 people gonna say this Is he speaking to his to his disciples or is it for the whole world? The question is when we go to john 15, there is no grammatical key to tell us that he stops talking to The disciples i mean to all of us and it's only talking to the disciples And so the part is when jesus makes a statement that every treat is not that does not bear fruit is going to be cut off That's a true statement if you don't bear fruit and if you don't abide you will be cut off No questions no if ands what's about it. Well, wait a minute. Cory. I thought you believed in one saved always safe I do but you just said if a person doesn't Abide if a person doesn't bear fruit, they'll be cut off. They will but Um, and I used to hold to this to this passage I just think that this proves that you can lose your salvation. Remember guys I told you a lot of the things that I believe now. I didn't believe before I use I believe in tongues before I believed in laws of salvation Scriptures have to show me have to have to have to guide me and they did and so I believe I believe what jesus is saying in john 15 is true that you must abide You have to remain in him and I believe also that you must bear fruit I believe that if you do abide in him, you will bear fruit Which is why jesus goes on to say in verse 16 that I didn't choose you didn't choose me But I chose you and I ordained you and the word that she was there is I ordained you I'm placing you to remain and to bear fruit. So in other words, he's I'm saying a different way That he put the fix in so to speak I've made it so that you are you are going to abide in me and you are going to bear fruit How much fruit will you will you bear more fruit than the next guy? He didn't say will your Will your fruit bearing be evident to everybody? Well, nobody's fruit is evident to everybody as a matter of fact Jesus's fruit wasn't always evident everybody. He had haters folks who didn't want to see it and so You are going he says it's clear you are going to bear fruit Because who's in you now the spirit and so he will he will cause you to bear fruit and will cause you to remain Are you are you being held against your will that goes against free will? Please with that because if it is if god is keeping me against my will lord, please continue to do so Who who would argue that point who argues that I don't I want to have free will that means I get to go to hell I hope I never have free will me going to heaven Matter of fact lord Not my will get rid of my will so and I agree. I know that's what Jesus says But I would say for me lord make sure I don't never have my will to get to get Exercise because my will always gets me in trouble.
