 Let's go ahead and jump into C.G.'s question. What was Jesus talking about in Luke 23, 27 through 31? Well, what, well, we have jobs in heaven. I'm sitting and marking some of these questions now also. Let's go to it. In Luke 27, where is it at? Luke 27, no, Luke 23, Luke 23, 27 versus 31. And following him was a large crowd of people and of women who were mourning and lamenting him. But Jesus turned to them, said, daughters of Jerusalem, stop weeping for me, but weep for yourselves and for your children. Now they understand what's going to happen or what he's saying is going to happen to him. He says, for behold, days are coming when they will say, blessed are the barren and the wounds that never bore and the breast that never nursed. Then they will begin to say to the mountains, fall on us and to kill, I'm sorry, to the hills, cover us for if they do these things, when the tree is green, what will happen when it is dry? What Jesus is speaking of is that part that some people don't want to accept. This is that time, this time of Jacob's trouble where they are going to wish that they were not alive. They are going to, it's going to be so bad as, as the prophet says that men are going to be bowed over. It's just going to be a time of immense pain to them, to Israel. Now, how much of this tribulation is going to happen to the world? We don't know. I imagine it's going to be a lot happening to the world as well, but certainly to, to Israel. And there are going to be times, as he says, people, look what he says. He says they're going to say, blessed are the barren and the wounds that never bore. In other words, they're going to be a lot of pain and hurt even for the children. Now, try to get an understanding of what all is going to happen. You know, not, don't know how graphic, how they're going to be. But Jesus, this is Jesus saying it's going to happen. And again, guys, sorry to burst others bubbles, but that didn't happen in 70 AD. Sorry. It did not happen in 70 AD. We've seen a lot worse. And could you imagine something that's worse for Israel than the Holocaust or worse that would happen earlier in October of this year? It's going to be, get pretty bad. So that's what he was speaking of. The next question, and then I'll start taking you guys' question that are being sent up. Jabulu. Did I say it right? Jabulu. Jabulu. Jabulu. Jabulu. I'm not sure if I'm saying this correctly. I'm not sure if I'm saying this correctly or not. But he asked, is there a reason why Creation Account isn't in order, specifically the day themselves, as people who lean towards science? Okay, now you're going to have to help me out. What does that mean when you say people who say that the Creation Accounts are not in order? That's what I'd like to know. I'll go and pull this up to Genesis, but I'm not sure what you're saying. I'm not sure. What do you mean by saying that the Creation Accounts are not in order? So while you're saying it, Maverick, let me go ahead and, let me go ahead and mark a few more of these questions. And so go ahead and try to give me, I'm not sure what you're really asking. Oh, okay, I see. I'm laughing at this. I saw a question and then I scrolled up and I saw something else that anyway, okay, you said yes, but what do you mean by yes? Oh, yes, in terms of how, if I pronounce it the correct way, okay, but what does that mean? Let me, let me say this about Genesis. Can you tell me if I'm answering it correctly? In Genesis, I talked about this the other day when I was trying to explain what an ephexagesis is or something being told or explained ephexagetically, or we talked about even the ephexagetical chi, that words are implanted phrases, even sentences and so forth are implanted to kind of give extra clarification. And you see that all throughout the writings of the Bible. You see them in the New Testament. You see them in the Old Testament. So it's something that we say in Greek or Hebrew. As a matter of fact, we even use this in Hebrew. Now the writing styles of the New Testament of the Greek writers as well as the Hebrew writers, it is a little bit different than how we write today. But they will kind of go, they'll say something and it might seem like it's kind of a bit disjointed. You see these long participle phrase that just kind of go on and on and on, but it's adding extra information to it. And so something that's ephexagetical is given to give extra clarity to something that may not have been as clear to some people. Remember, one of the clearest examples of that is John 3. When Jesus describes this heart being changed, he calls it being born again, being born of wardens and spirit, and being born of the spirit. And so he's giving extra clarification. And sometimes folks don't understand, matter of fact, the perfect example is that Nicodemus did not understand what he said when he said to be born again. But then when he said to be born of warden and spirit or born of the spirit, ah, OK, so now Nicodemus is getting it. That's why Jesus said, don't marvel that you must be born of the spirit. And so you can explain something different ways or get added information to kind of do so. In Genesis, we see that we see the order of how creation occurred. And then I want you to notice what it says in chapter two, verse one. Thus the heavens and the earth were completed and all their hosts by the seventh day. God completed his work, which he had done, and he rested on the seventh day from all his work, which he had done. Then God blessed the day and sanctified it because he rested from all his work, which God had created and made. Now, notice verse four. Verse four starts off with, says, this is the account of the heavens and the earth when they were created in the day that the Lord God made the heavens and the earth. Now the word says, now. And so it begins what we call this consecutive while it is kind of finishing the thought. And so now he's going to kind of give some extra detail to the account says now no shrub of the field was yet in the earth and no plant of the field had yet sprouted. So all he sent now he's giving clarification to the day that these that the shrubs were created. The problem is, though, and this might be where scientists might have a problem with it, is that how are these things going to be watered? Well, the same way things are watered today, the morning dew, there is dew because of, and of course you'll hear them in and or on the weather. They'll talk about the dew point, the temperature at which the water in the atmosphere becomes solid and then it kind of waters the ground and then it evaporates throughout the day and so forth. Look at me being real scientific right here. If I'm probably explaining, I'm probably explaining it correctly, but that's how God would water the earth. And so there were no, there were no scorching days where we didn't have enough rain where we're in a drought. We didn't have these floods yet. As a matter of fact, the first flood, the first flood was the first rain. Right. So all he's doing here is giving extra clarification. As a matter of fact, you see that oftentimes what the writer will say something, then they'll come back to the exact same thing. It's not necessarily chronology, but it's just giving extra information, extra detail. So that's what they is. All right. Uh, let me start clicking some of these. I'm going to scroll back up and start marking some of these. Let me scroll down. You all can see on the side where marks. If you see a star by your name, if you ask a question, then I have, I have put it in the queue to be answered. Let me, then that's the one that I answer it or I'll get to it. Uh, so anyway, let me go ahead and start clicking some more of these guys. Okay. Um, all right. Let me go ahead and take a few questions. Could you explain first John five, 20? Okay. First John five, 20. Let's go to it. And we know the Son of God has come and has given us understanding so that we may know him who is true and we are in him who is true, his son, Jesus Christ. This is true. This is the true God and eternal life. So help me understand shining rivers. What specifically is your question, uh, about that? What specifically is your, is your, uh, is your question about that? I may have an idea of what you're saying, but I want to make sure that, um, uh, that, uh, matter of fact, there's a lot of things that are happening in this particular passage. So what do you, what are you actually asking, um, shining rivers? I want to make sure that I, that I covered correctly. But while you're, while I'm looking for you to, to kind of clarify what you're saying, uh, and we know that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding so that we may know him who is true. And we are in him who is true in his son, Jesus Christ. This is the true God in eternal life. So are you asking is this, is this clarifying or saying that, that Jesus is, uh, the true, uh, the true God and eternal life? Because I really think that's kind of, they're, they're putting those two together, but then also, but then also, um, there's something that is said, okay, who is God? Okay. Okay. Um, let me see if there is a, one of the first things I do is I want to see if there's some sort of grammatical, um, key that I can, uh, kind of glob on to, and we know him in, in order that we may know the true. And I don't know that this is necessarily saying, I guess you can put this as saying that, and we know, uh, who is true, but could also be saying that we know the true. I think it's probably, you know, you know, I think it is better is that we know, we know who is true speaking of who. And we in the true, we're in, yeah. So that, yeah, it has to be, it has to be personal. So we are, because this makes sense. Um, Kai Esmond and To, so we are in the one that's true. Okay. Uh, in the son, in his son, Jesus Christ, uh, this is the, this is who is true. This is who the true God, you know what this right here, I think personally, um, I think this probably is, I would lean that this is actually, this would defeat a Jehovah's witness argument that this is the true God, um, and eternal life because it's focusing on Jesus. And we know that we, and we know that the Son of God has come and has given. And so could, could there be a Greek argument one way or the other, just like there's an English argument one way or the other. So I think that's what this is saying. But then again, we still have to go back to what John said the very first time that we hear John open his mouth or put pen and paper or ink to, to, to, um, scroll, however you wrote it, John 11 is also clear, but then again, if you're talking to Jehovah's witnesses, therein lies your problem. There, by the way, there's some of us that's in here as well. He says, and we know that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding that we may know him. This is also kind of fulfilling, uh, prophecy partially, at least for those who have placed their faith in Christ, that he says that at that certain point in time that we will know him for ourselves. And so this is beginning to be fulfilled with some Jews, certainly with the Gentiles and then eventually with the, with the other Jews as well. So anyway, I hope that helps. Okay. Let me scroll back up and mark a few more questions that I saw come in. Let me go start pulling some more questions down and move that one is favor fair. Well, it could be. Favor could be, it didn't have to be. Favor doesn't necessarily mean there's nothing that, um, draws favor, um, to equate to being fair. So, uh, if I do something for somebody, by the way, by the way, this whole, this whole notion that that something has to be equal, do you know how, how next to impossible it is for something to be equal? The reason being is because for something to be given equal, for it to be equal, it, it also has to be received equally. One of the things that we used to try to do when it comes to financial planning and figure out who gets what when, when the parents or the grandparents die is to figure out, do all the children get everything equally? So let's say if you've got a one kid, uh, parents die, one kid is eight, the other kid is, one of the other kids is 30 big difference. This by what has happened, not, not quite that big of a difference, but one was an adult with children. The other one was still a child themselves. Do you give them both, let's just say a million dollars, do you give them both a million dollars? Well, the eight year old, that million dollars, the eight year old is worth a lot more than the 20 something 30 year old with children. So how do you do that? Do you divide it up? Do you kind of, you kind of, kind of staggered a little bit, same thing with, uh, Jesus gives, gives a story about the people, the workers that come. Same, some came in the morning, some came in the afternoon, some came at night. They all got the same wages, but those that were there all day, like wait a second, that's not fair. Well, wait a second. I'm giving you what I said I was going to give you. I gave them the same thing. Well, that's not fair. They didn't work as hard, but again, so receiving the same gift, uh, it's going to be different. The same gift might be the same, but how you receive it to who's given to it. So how do you give the same thing? Or how does, how does everyone receive something equally because they're coming from different backgrounds? It's like if you got different kids, you got two or three or four kids in the house, those kids didn't grow up in the same house, even though they were all there because one kid grew up where he was the oldest, he was the first one there. Another kid showed up where everybody was there and he was the last one. Another kid showed up where it was crowded. He had some on this side of them and some on the other side of them. So, favor ain't fair, uh, favor is at the behest of the person that's giving it and as long as you get it, then you just praise God for it. Amen. Will we have jobs in heaven? Uh, well, don't know. We didn't get a, a, a, uh, a good laundry list of what's going to happen to us in heaven, what we're going to do and so don't know. We can speculate. We can speculate. I know this. I know that, uh, there probably won't be any barbers in heaven. Beverly, why would you, why would there need to be a barber in heaven? I mean, we'll probably have that. So, yeah, I don't, I don't, I don't want any, if it's up to me to choose, uh, I don't want any hair in heaven. I do want, I want my, uh, you know what? No, I was going to say my, yeah, I want my, the, my fittest body, the, which everybody worked the, the best and then no hair. I can do it out the glasses though. I'll say that. Okay. I can do it out the glasses. Could you explain James 224? So let's go to James 224. You see that a man is justified by works and not by faith alone in the same way was not rehab. The harlot also justified by works when she received the messengers and sent them out by another way. Now this is where those who, and I'm not even at the point anymore to where I even, where I even want to, to tread lightly. There are some people that want you to tread lightly, uh, when it comes to ever mentioning anything about works. You know what I said to them? I'm not, I don't, I don't care about your feelings on this. I do not care about your feelings on works anymore because you want to, you want to get people to kind of understand what the scripture is saying as relates to works. But again, if anyone, and I'm challenging me, if anyone says that works plays no part after salvation, I would love to talk to you. I would have, one, I want to call, I want to talk to you to show you that you are in error. You are in error if you think that there is no part of works that plays after we're saved. Let me say this again for some of the ultra, ultra, ultra free grace people that think that works is a dirty word. No, your thoughts are dirty, your thoughts, your thoughts are wrong. Works play an important part after. Notice I said after, I'll even use the Hebrew word, acary, after, after our salvation works must come into play. Why? Mr. Grace person, how in the world did you get saved? Oh, I know someone literally came and preached the gospel. Even if you heard it on TV or someplace, someone took time, someone's holding the camera, someone's reading it, or if you got a track, someone print it out. Works do play a role in getting other folks saved. If you think works don't play a role in getting other folks saved, well, then play it, tell it to Jesus, who says that he's looking for workers. So go out and work. Now, I think a lot of people, though, there are a lot of folks, though, who tend to want to be absolved of their sin, by the way, sin plays a role in your walk after salvation as well. What does sin do? Does it take you out of God's favor? Does it take you out of his hand? No, but it does bring his other hand. What's the other hand? The one with the belt, the one that's going to punish you, that one, the one that disciplines you. And so works play a role. So to the sin, neither of those vitiate, big word, vitiate or nullify or get rid of your salvation. You're saved by your faith. But here he says, with what James is saying, I can see your faith by seeing your work. I know what you believe, what you really, truly believe in by seeing what you do. You really think that working out is going to is going to preserve your life and keep you healthy. I see that because you're working out, you really think, you really think that that hairdo makes you look good. I know you believe that because that's how you wear it. I know what you do, what you believe because it comes out of you. As Jesus says, it's what proceeds out of the heart. And so what's what proceeds out of the heart? We see it in your hand. We see it in your mouth. We see what you watch, where you go. And so, yeah, I can, you can tell me you have faith all you want. Now, it doesn't matter to me if I see it or not. But at some point in time, somebody's going to need to see your faith at some point. Let me just say it again at some point in time, somebody is going to need to see your faith. How are they going to see your faith? Well, Jesus says he calls it your light shining and he says that people will see your good works and then glorify God. And so if they can't see your faith, what good are you? You're taking up space, move over, get out of the way, let somebody else come and do the job that God wanted you to do that you won't do yourself, which is be a light to somebody. Now, how does that look? It might be that you just simply just say, can I pray for you? Can I can I help to open doors for people at the church? Whatever you're doing something, you're being a benefit to the body. Again, we are a body. Which part of your body can be dead and you could you imagine if your hand just rotted, there's absolutely no use. You can't move your fingers. It's dead. All the cells are dead. What will they do? They'll cut it off. Unless it begins to spread. So same thing for us. And so this is this is all James and he's not saying that you are saved by works. Let me say it again. And you can say it's back to work salvation. That means you are young and immature and ignorant of the scriptures. Because all day long, all week long, all month long, all year long, you can read the Bible and you can see what has got wanting to do to do some stuff. What has got what has got to get angry at us for doing for doing bad works. So anyway, that being the case, let me go to the next person and I'm pretty sure I'll get a video or two or some horns or two put on my head for which is fine. Are you going to do is call me up or you got to do is email me. Let's go to the next question. OK, I got a question. I got a question. Are you I'm going to I'm going to assume you're not the former basketball player, Joe Smith. I'm going to assume you're not him. I'm just going to assume that I might be wrong. I am a single man. No female contact ever. Oh, no, you're definitely not that Joe Smith. I go to church. Will give will God give me a wife if I pray. What does the Bible say to do to get a wife? I am afraid to approach women. Well, I can say this. If you're going to be afraid to approach women, it's going to be pretty difficult. It is what it is, brother. You're going to need to approach them. You're going to let me just say this to all the men. You're going to need to be a man. What does that mean? I'm not saying that you're not, Joe, but let me just say this to every man. You're going to have to be the leader of your house. You're going to have to be the one that takes the necessary step to protect, to preserve your wife and then ultimately your children. That's what you're going to have to do now. Could you go on these dating sites? I suppose you can. I don't know what those dating sites are. I've never been on a dating site. And I certainly couldn't do it now because my wife can get my phone. Could you imagine how bad that would look if I just, hey, baby, I'm just doing this for research? Really? Huh? OK. So I've never, literally, I've never been on a dating site. So I don't know what to expect, but I can imagine, I can imagine you're going to get people on there who put their best foot forward, who don't tell you about all the bad things that's going on in life. I can imagine that it's their best picture ever. Yeah, I can imagine that how they look on that picture is not how they look when they wake up and how they look at the end of the day or the middle day. But what I would say is this. God, if God wants you to have a woman, I don't have any reason to think that he didn't want you to. So then you need to find some confidence in the Lord and some confidence in yourself because I because if you don't have confidence in yourself, I don't I'm not saying proud being proud. I'm not saying that. But what I'm saying is this. If you if you are too timid in going after or saying hello to and how timid will will you be in the relationship, you are going to have to do so. You're going to have to be courageous. God is going to be with you. Listen, and you might fall in your face. You don't have to. All right. Let me give you guys. You you single folk. Particularly you single men some dating tips. Would you single men like some like some dating tips? I'm here for everybody. I'm here for everybody. Would you like some would you like some dating tips? Would you like to would you like to know what can make you as a single man? Irresistible and no, I don't mean you got to shave your head. Although that does help. I can promise you that does help. But let me let me tell you what is going to cause the right woman to be attracted to you. Be confident about you. Yeah, if you are a nerd, be a confident nerd. If you if you are if you are 10 times or go be 10 times or go. If you wear platform shoes, kick the door in with your platform shoes walking as it. Hey, baby, this is me. If you are quiet, well, listen, be confident in you. Who you are. Don't do not ever try to be somebody that you're not. Do not try to overcompensate for your for your fault for your failings. In other words, if ABC is some of your bad qualities and XYZ is your better qualities. Don't try to pour too much of your ex. Don't do that. Don't give us XYZ times 10. No, be you. Let them see who you are, but become, you know, listen, this is what I am, you know, when when you deal with somebody. Yeah, I got listen, I can't. I can't sing. OK, I'm not. I'm not I'm not the most romantic. Or I'm not whatever it is. If you are, if you're, you know what, some guys think that certain women want certain things. Most cases, the women that you are thinking that you're trying to get, you're thinking what they want. Those aren't the kind of women that you want anyway, the really superficial women. I saw this video and the man was the man was so spot on. There are guys that think that women want to have a man who's got a bunch of money, a bunch of muscles, a bunch of romance, a whole lot of bunch of everything, right? He ain't there. So leave them alone. Let let them keep chasing them. If you think that a woman, let's say you don't feel like you make enough or you have the kind of job that she wants, that kind of woman, you don't want anyway, the woman that will only date up because and the way that the way I heard a guy put it was all of this was some sort of, I don't know, it came up on YouTube and I said, that guy is spot on now. Little vulgar, how he put it. But his point was and it's true all of these women that were on this little panel, they only they would not date a person that didn't make a lot of money. They would not be the person who may work at some I don't know lower level factory job or work at a fast food joint or something like that. So everybody else, they dated up. But the men, if they dated up, then what did the men do? That necessarily meant that the men were dating down. So what position they put themselves in the first place? And that ain't the kind of woman that you want anyway. You want a woman because and the point is true, men don't have to date the richest woman or they don't care if she's rich or poor. They don't care if she came from the east side of the west side, this side of track, that's out of track. Men don't really have that have that issue. Women tend to they want a man that's not a way. Now, y'all do realize ladies that most of these men that are on the right side of tracks didn't start off there. So for you, you want a woman who maybe listen, if you're quiet, do you want someone that's super loud? You might. You might. You just want somebody that's going to love you. So you don't know what's going to happen is you put yourself out there, be present, be involved. I can tell you the best way the best way that you can find a good, godly woman. You're ready? This is where you can find a good, godly woman. How you can find a good, godly woman and where? All right. You're a chance to kind of catch yourself if you're driving. Give yourself a chance to pull over that I want you to wreck when I give you the answer to this. OK, this is this is this is not a secret either. Maybe it is. Maybe it is because I think people are doing it the wrong way. But here's how and where you can find a good, godly woman or a good, godly man. First step, step number one. You're ready? You be godly. You be godly. Yep. Step number two. Go to the House of God. Go to church. Be involved. Especially if you're a man, especially if you're a man. I can promise you this. If you're a man and you show up at church and you're there and there are single women there, I can promise you they'll notice you. I don't care if you go to a 40,000 member church, you're you're a man that's there single and you're all with. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You're going to have to get you a little notebook and start writing names. Let's see. And then you start. I'm kidding. I'm kidding. But no, they'll see you. Here's why. And this goes back to the passage we talked about earlier in Matthew that if people see your light shine, if they see you, you'll stand out. You being godly stick out, you will stick out in this world. If you are a godly woman or godly man, you will stick out in an ungodly world. You will be like a bright light at night. You will be a diamond in a, I would say diamond rough, but that's hard to see, but you'll stick out. It's hard. It's not hard to stick out in this world. So if you if you do what you're supposed to do, Joe or anyone else, you will stick it down. Does that mean that you start today? Today is what today's Tuesday that by Wednesday by Thursday, you'll have a you'll have a spouse. No, that's not what that means. It's not like, you know, and of course, listen, you might be jacked up. I'm not going to tell the truth. Shame and devil, you might be jacked up. You might have some stuff that you got to work on. And so you need to be around some other godly men as well, be around some married men, be around some single men who are also godly because there might be some stuff. There might be a reason why you're single. Maybe you just, you got some issues. So therefore be godly, be around godly people, be in a godly environment. And I can promise you, I can promise you, it might be that the sisters of the church, the mothers of the church, the brothers of the church. Hey, Frank, here is Betty. I think you two ought to. And there you go. I just helped you out. If I spoke in tongues, it would be the time to do it right there, right? So, oh, by the way, I am going to cover something on, on singles sometime probably about two weeks, probably about two weeks because there is something I saw. I still have this video. It's been saved. And I said, I'm going to cover this at some point in time. I'm going to cover this at some point in time. And I mean too, because this is, it's indicative of our world anyway, because part of the problem also is ladies, let me say this, that some of you single ladies that have been hurt or burned or what have you, some of you ladies are also part of the problem. Yeah, some of you ladies are also part of the problem. How is that? Well, I'll tell you how. Glad you asked. Part of the problem is, is because some of you ladies get burned or get hurt or whatever. And then you decide, you know what? I'm throwing away this level of standard. And so if a guy approaches, he gets my attention. How in the world do you let a strange guy come up to you, ask you for your number and he gets it. But I may never see him again. Well, fine then, fine. Now you have become something desperate and so now other women have to match your desperateness. Is that the right word, desperateness? Yeah, that's what's happening. And so it's like, you go low, he goes low, he, everybody, that's what's happened. So we'll cover this a little bit later and we'll use it with the Bible and we'll also bring in a few biblical characters as well. So that being the case, let's go ahead and finish answering some of these questions. I'm gonna try to answer some of the questions of people that I haven't seen asked questions before. Brandon SD 14, that's an interesting name. He was in Cleveland, might be silly, but what do you think about dinosaurs? They're not really biblical. So do you believe they exist? Well, I don't have a reason not to believe that they did not exist. In Joe, Joe talks about two creatures, two giant creatures that we don't seem to see now. Now, somebody might say, well, that was a whale. Okay, but this large sea creature, I don't know what he's talking about, but certainly this large land animal and he describes the size of his legs and his bones and so forth and how we are just terrified of, well, there's no animal on the planet, some large animal on the planet that we are, that he's so huge that we're afraid of. Matter of fact, elephants, we tame them, now they get upset and they have a fit, we're in trouble, but we tame them. There's not an animal that human beings are not afraid of and we have not tamed, even lions and tigers and bears. So when Job is speaking, is that giving some sort of statement that there were dinosaurs? I don't have a reason to believe that there weren't dinosaurs now. Do I believe that dinosaurs are as old as they say? Well, no, because even scientific dating is not, matter of fact, they'll admit it is so erroneous, it's ridiculous, but they want to believe that their dating is true. Dragon, anyway. All right, let me keep moving, let me keep moving. Let me say this, all you have to do is what you've been doing, if there is a momentary lapse, I don't care what the addiction is. Now first of all, make sure that the relapse on any sort of addiction, if it's something that bothers you and you didn't mean to or it's not something that you do every day, you are doing your, you're taking steps, either to stay away or really, you're really taking steps to get closer to God, then they may happen. They may have somebody who hadn't cussed in 10 years, 20 years, all of a sudden bam, that word came out and I said, well, see, that was always in you. Well, sin is always in you. There's always the opportunity for sin to come out. There are times where, I haven't cussed in a long time, and there are times where, you know what, I might want to say something a little bit more than fiddle sticks, but I don't. So now, are there times where the word might pop in my head? I'm not going to say it hadn't, but it won't come out, at least I don't think it will, so don't, do not beat yourself up too much if there is an occasion that you happen to sin. Now, I'm not saying go out and sin, it's okay to sin, it's not what I'm saying, but you just, thank God that the moments aren't as plentiful that you've been beating it and you had a relapse a day fine. Now, your new streak starts today. Make sure that you get closer to other people and have someone that can hold you accountable, if you really want to beat it, amen. And but again, grow closer to him, the closer you get to him, the further you get away from sin already. Okay, I don't know why I marked that twice, I don't know why I marked it twice. Okay, Zachary Little says, Corey compare Matthew 721 to 23 with John 640. Okie dokie. So John 640 and Matthew 7, which I know with Matthew, I know what that says. Okay, so Matthew 721, 23 says, Not everyone who says to me, Lord, Lord, will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does will of my father who was in heaven will enter. Men will say to me in that day, Lord, do we not prophesy your name and cast out? He means your name and I'll declare to them, I never knew you, you who practice lawlessness. And then John 640 says, for this is the will of my father, that everyone who beholds a son and believes in him will have eternal life and I myself will raise him in the last day. So I think maybe your question is asking, is this something to where one is showing someone who can lose their salvation in one and the other? It cannot happen. I'm not sure if that's what you're saying, but here there are two different people. One, the one in John 640, for this is the will of my father, that everyone who beholds a son and believes in him will have eternal life and I myself will raise him now. Notice what he says previous to this in verse 30, let's start in 37. All the father gives to me will come and the one who comes to me, I will certainly not cast out. 39, this is the will of him who sent me, that all that he has given to me, I will lose none, but raise him in the last day. So now that old saying that two things can be true at the same time, that was here. All those that come to him are those that the father's given and all that the father's given, he will raise all of them in the last day, but then in Matthew 7, those aren't the ones that were given to the father. Matter of fact, how do we know so? Because what does he say in 23? He says, I never knew you. And so therefore that's how there's a comment. And I think what happens sometimes is we read this passage, we read that passage and we think that both of these are contradicting and they might just be explaining two different sets of people. When the Bible, the Bible can describe what a professing Christian who isn't a Christian, the Bible can describe that person and then also describe an actual Christian. And so we have been told what an actual Christian does or how he looks and so forth, his behavior, his heart, his mentality. We're told that and we're even told more to the point what God does to those people who are honest to goodness, as we say, show enough Christians versus the people who aren't Christian, who may look like it. There are those. And for those, what do we do? We warn them, we make sure that we let them know that there is a danger. Amen? Alrighty, let me, I'm sorry. Okay, okay. And again guys, if what I'm doing guys I'm actually, and guys don't be mad at me. I love you. I love you guys. But what I'm doing is I'm looking for the questions of people who haven't asked as, or I haven't answered as many questions from them. Some of you guys, I am. Thought going to Spider Monkey. I don't know what this question is but I'm pretty sure it's difficult because Spider Monkey only asks difficult questions. James 218, but someone will say you have faith. I have deeds, show me your faith. Oh, okay, that's what you're saying. Okay, that's not an answering question. You're just responding to, okay, okay. Do you believe Douglas Ray? By the way, thank you for the super chat. You too, Spider Monkey, thank you as well. But Douglas Ray says, do you believe if church is supercessionist that is a reason enough to leave and to find another church? Is this something satanic or just the other? It's just a theological difference. Now, here's the truth. You can take any theological issue and take it to an extreme and it becomes satanic or demonic. Ultimately it's the heart and the spirit behind it but no, as a matter of fact. Hold on one second. I'm doing a couple of things at once. I'm sorry. So, but no. Now, do I think though that that belief is wrong? Yeah, I believe that's wrong. Cory, Cory, what is supercessionist? That is, matter of fact, let me do this. Let me do this. Let me give you, I wonder if they put it on here. What it really is, and by the way, you have a lot of people who believe this, a lot of good, godly people who believe this. This is that the church has basically taken the place of Israel. Would I leave a church on that? No, I definitely would not leave a church because of that. Because I don't think that's that big of a problem. Ultimately it's not going to, there are some good, godly people in good, godly churches that believe that. And so, Vodibachem kind of holds to that. Who else? Pretty much of that particular Calvinistic persuasion at all, because John MacArthur does not. Jeff Durbin, James White, those people, they do, I think they're in error. I don't think they can find enough scriptures to back up their point. They just can't, they take scriptures and I think that they just kind of read. Huh? They just, they read a doctrine into it. And I think that's incorrect, but I wouldn't leave for that. No. Monkey Moons, what are you talking about? What is it? What is this? Jesus is a false god. Who said that? Who said that? I'm curious now, who said that? Yeah, most of you, yeah. Well, to be reformed, that's part of being reformed. You cannot be, if you hold to my view, even if I were a Calvinist, I couldn't be reformed because that's part of that. It's the whole covenantal theology versus the dispensational theology. And so, but anyway. Oh, let me go back to these questions. I'm sorry. Chaplain Tremac, I'm gonna come back to that and I'm gonna come back to your question though. I wanna answer that question. What is the best electronic Bible source? Also, what is a good school to attend for theology? Well, you asked a couple of questions. It depends. When you say electronic Bible source, you mean like the software they were using here, which is Accordance or Lagos. What's funny is Lagos is probably richer than Accordance. And what's funny is I use Accordance far more than I use my Lagos, but I do use my Lagos and I make myself use it from time to time because with Lagos and same with Accordance, you can pay for it on a monthly basis. So even if you get one of these really pricey packages with all the different books and so forth, you can pay for it on a monthly basis. I'm not paying. I'm not coming out of the pocket for $7,000. And by the way, they can get pricey. They can really get pricey, but you get $1,000 you pay for it over the course of two years. That's not that big a deal. That's probably less than what you pay for some of your streaming services. And so there's also, there's free ones, like Blue Letter Bible and so forth. So you can, pretty much what you look for, you can actually just Google stuff and you'll get an assortment of different beliefs from different people. And by the way, that's sometimes good to kind of compare what other people think. So by the way, can I tell you a underrated electronic source for doing Bible study? YouTube, you just type in something on YouTube and what you're gonna get is what everyone believes either good or bad, everything in between. But sometimes it's kind of good to kind of compare. I never thought about it like that. I didn't see it that way. Now I think you're wrong, but I think that's good with looking at it. And so that's one way. And then in terms of the best school to attain for theology, you mean on an undergraduate level or a graduate level. It depends on what you're looking for. It depends on what you're trying to do. You want to go to a school to learn the Bible more if the school is gonna push you. There are some schools you go to and they just here, just show up in class, do a few of this, a few of that and we'll give you a degree. You want someone to make you earn it. Now there are some schools though where they want to try to make you, almost as though they want to make you lose your belief. Are you sure that's what the Bible says? No, that's not, there are some. As a matter of fact, it's happened. They didn't ever really say begin with, but they went in thinking one thing and then I know I disagree because this professor, Bart Ehrman, talks about his seminary professor who challenged him on Luke and how the Bible, Jesus says, this is how it was in the days of Abiathar, the High Priest. We just covered Abiathar, the High Priest and he was not the time when David goes in for the show where at Abiathar was not the High Priest. His father was, but understanding how the Jewish culture was, this is speaking kind of in general, this is his time of Abiathar, the High Priest. His father was, so it was also connected to him, but then he soon thereafter became the High Priest and in these days and so this was something that really Bart Ehrman should have gotten which kind of tells you about his train of thought, but you don't want a seminary or Bible school that wants to just take away, they want to challenge you and help you kind of see what you're thinking to kind of get a clear understanding of what the researchers are saying, but then also to see all the different points as much as possible. What happens to people who never hear the word? Do you know the Bible isn't as voluminous on this subject as you would think? In other words, what happens to somebody who's in the backwoods of Indonesia never heard the gospel and they died? Is that unfair? Well, this is where we pontificate. Now we do know this, that if you do not place your faith in Christ, you cannot be saved. So in order for them to be saved, something has to happen. I believe that if a person has never heard the gospel, one of a few things. One, either God will send them the gospel, that is, if they have a desire to know the true God, if they never have a desire to know the true God, well then I don't think that there is a need for a missionary to be sent to them. But they look around, they see the trees and someone created this. And so there's got to be a God out there, not the God of this tree God that were worshiped. No, it can't be that or this fire God. And I'm sick of walking around in almost like I'm outdated. I want to live like normal people. And so there must be a God. Well, what would God do? He's got a couple of choices. One, send a missionary. Two, or send the word through some sort of electronic communication, but what about 100 years ago? Send a missionary or send an angel. Is that out of the room a possibility that an angel can show up? No, the Bible doesn't say it can happen or won't happen. But the person has to place their faith in Christ. Now, my former pastor pontificated, and this what happens when you start thinking, you come up with ways that might be real, might not be that God will judge them. And I think he used the wrong, I wouldn't use that word, trans, dispensation like it's a different economy because it's not a different economy that God is judging us out of now. But he might judge them according to a different set of rules. And that's where we have the term dispensation because it really means a economy which means house rules. That is a person who didn't have a chance to reject Christ. How does God treat them? I think that God knows who will and who won't. And so everyone that's in heaven is who he wants to, who he has determined, and I should use that word because now I get in trouble, but who he has regenerated their heart and they place their faith in. Those who don't are those people who make a conscious decision not to or will if they have the opportunity to make a conscious decision to reject them. I think that's what would happen. So, but the fact of the matter is you have to place your faith in Christ. We just deferred to God and his sovereignty and knowing what, where, who, why, and how he does so. Cause remember, every one of us that's born, we are born where he causes us to be born when he causes us to be born. I'm born in America because God has caused me to be born here. I could, the Bible tells us that he determines where we will be and when we will be. Our days are coming and going to all something to him. So, if you are new to the faith, how would you go about reading the Bible? Well, I think there's something to be said about starting in the easiest place but then also starting in the beginning. I love starting in the beginning. It could be difficult, it could be but it gives you a good understanding of what God is doing. And so I always say, I'm starting in the beginning. There's a reason why the beginning is in the beginning. So start there but also you don't wanna wait until you finish the Old Testament or at least go through the chronological books. You don't wanna wait until you start getting into the love of God, what he's done through Christ Jesus. You don't wanna wait until you get to there. And so I would say start in the gospels as well as start in the beginning. Understanding that what Jesus is referring to is rooted in what's happening in the beginning. And when you start seeing some of these prophecies that's being spoken of, I understand they came from the Old Testament. And so you begin to see that God is a God who, by the way, I think people can handle that too because we watch movies where we start off at this point in time in the movie and then we flash back to what happened years prior. So we're smart enough to handle that. God didn't make us too dumb to where we couldn't follow that. So that's what I would do. I have a friend that is indulged in a deliverance ministry. How do I approach him about what he's involved in? My question would be, why are you indulged? This is the question I would ask. Why are you indulged? And why is that so prevalent in what you're doing? Because if it's a true deliverance ministry, shouldn't you only need to be there once? Shouldn't you only need this deliverance ministry once? If you were delivered, if I go to the doctor and the doctor fixes what I need, I don't need to go to the eye doctor over and over unless there's something wrong with me. Though we're talking about deliverance, we're talking about God. And so once is enough. But if a person is constantly having to go back, that tells us that's one of two things. Matter of fact, both of these are true. There's something wrong with the person who needs the deliverance and there's something wrong with the one that's doing the deliverance. Because the rest of us can tell you we don't need to be delivered over and over and over and over and over and over again for the same thing or the same four or five things. I'm going to the altar this Sunday to be delivered now. So I'll go on back at the altar next week for the following month. What's going on with you? And so the issue is, just like Jesus says, do you want to be made whole? So my question to the person is, do you want to be made whole? And if they say yes, well then you might leave the place that isn't making you whole. Leave the place and go someplace where everyone else doesn't have that same problem. Go to the true healing. Amen. Uh-huh. Okay. Oh, she's asking a controversial question. Crap that I candy says, how can so many people say that most translations are accurate when the KJV is the only one with words that make all the difference such as prayer and fasting? Well, here's, I don't know what made you bring up that particular text, but we know for a fact. We know for a fact that fasting was added to that particular translation. It's not in the earliest manuscripts. Now, is the King and the Virgin a good translation? It absolutely is. It absolutely is. So too is the ESV. So too is the NASB. So too, by the way guys, is the NIV. These particular translations come about because we take the, excuse me, the text that we have, we take the manuscripts, we take the paparite, the fragments, we take the codexes and we put them together and we just see. One, and by the way, there are some manuscripts that we know come from a flawed line. For example, let's say we know that someone, I don't know, 500 years after the fact makes a copy and then people start making a bunch of copies off of that flawed one. And we can kind of tell sometimes that this one who has his genesis in this flawed transcript because we see what it's saying, where it came from. There's ways to tell about it. If you come to a paparologist or a textual critic, they can have to understand that better than I can. But if we've got a wealth of manuscripts, we use them. Even, and how do we know so why would we say so? Because even the King James Version, the KJV translators, they said the very same thing. They made statements to say that there is a dearth of manuscripts. They need more, they didn't have very many manuscripts that they translated from and these are all later dated manuscripts. These weren't, they were all 12th century, 13th century, 14th century. But then we've got manuscripts that go back a thousand years prior. And so even they themselves stated that we would love to have, they would love to have more manuscripts. They knew, and this is the thing, they knew that there were more manuscripts. They just didn't have access to them. Some manuscripts that they could not get. They have heard about other manuscripts but could not get in. So they said that later on, there would be people that would come. That's what they said. There would be people that would come on and say that let me, I'll deal with Moses in just a second. There will be people that will come on and add to their work. Now you said, what I just said was a lie. What I just lied about, Moses. See, this is where, and Moses, let me help you out brother. I wanna talk to you for a second because I believe you got potential but you're wasting it when you say things like this. When you say that what you just said is a lie. I just happened to catch that. And so I'm just wondering, what are you talking about? We're not children. Okay. Where is Acts 837 in Codex Sinanicus? Is Codex Sinanicus the only Codex that we look to? Is the only fragment? Is the only paparazzi that we look to? I'll wait. Since you're waiting, you tell me, is the only one that we look to? No, Codex Sinanicus is not the only one that we look to. Let me help you out, ladies and gentlemen. All of the manuscripts that we have, all the Codex, there's a flaw in every last one of them. Every last one of them. Now, you pick your Bible, you pick the Bible and I will show you the flaw in that particular Bible. So you tell me your translation and I will show you the flaw in the translation. Namely, let's go to the Old Testament and look at the dating or the numberings. So what we'll do is we'll go ahead and eliminate someone who doesn't need to be here. That's how they go. So Moses did not make it to the Promised Land. All right, let's continue. What is my opinion on pre-trip rapture versus post-trip? I still get confused on this. Well, I am premillennial and I am pre-trip relation. Why? Because the question I always ask people who differ, who believe in a, there are those that don't believe there's a tribulation and those that do believe in tribulation. There are those that believe in a millennium. There are those that don't believe that there is a, not a literal millennium. The question is, why is God doing what He's doing? The same question I asked for when it comes to certain gifts. Why are these, what's the purpose? So what's the purpose of, let's say the tribulation? So if a person is pre-trip, mid-trip, post-trip, if you agree there's a tribulation and not that the tribulation has already happened, wow, I'll leave that alone. But if you believe in tribulation, the question is why? What's the point of the tribulation? Is that a new thought that just showed up in the New Testament? Well, no, it's not. And so we look to see in the Old Testament who this tribulation is for. And he clearly tells us that it is for Israel and the reason why, cause that's my question, why is there a tribulation? The tribulation is to deal with the people who have this hard heart and God has promised that He is going to deal with, He is going to bring them in. All of Israel, absolutely not. If that were the case, all the Jews in Israel right now would be on their way to heaven. No, that's not what he's saying. He's made a promise that Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, that their lineage, their ethnic, physical lineage, the people of that land, that God is going to save that land and that also God is going to save people of that land. All people know, but He is going to do something in them. And can He do it? Yes, He can. As a matter of fact, I almost felt like preaching. Can He do it? Only do it, yes. And so that's the reason for the tribulation. The reason is to afflict them. Now, He's doing so even at this moment with us. They don't like us. They don't like Christians. They either do Muslims, but a lot of Jews don't either. Why? Because just what God said, He said, I'm going to cause them, I'm going to cause you to be jealous of them. Since you made me jealous, since you made me jealous, I'll make you jealous with the people who are not a people. I'll call those who are not loved, call them beloved. And Paul reiterates this. And so this whole, this whole tribulation is to get them and what's going to happen after the tribulation. They're going to be so afflicted. As a matter of fact, the person asked me to read Luke 23 earlier, this is what they're talking about when this happens. And they're going to be bowed over. They're going to be hurting. They're going to have to cry out. And they are going to, in mass, they're going to say what Isaiah 53 is saying. Isaiah 53 is a prophecy to Israel. That's why it's used the past tense verbs because that's what Israel is going to say. He was warned for our transgression. So post-trip, the problem with the post-trip is this, if it's post-trip, then everybody's gone. And so who is Satan going to when he's released? Who is, who are going to be the people that are going to be released to be with him that he's going to gather together and form? Here's why. After the tribulation, then we have this immediately after tribulation, we have the thousand year reign. We have this reigning of Christ. And then Satan is released. Okay, now the question is, when he gathers people from the world to form his army, that's going to be eradicated pretty easily. Where do they come from? The only people that it can be are those that, that went through the tribulation, which is the Jews, not us, we'll have a glorified body. And then we reign with him for a thousand years with those folks who were taken up in the rapture, I believe, and then those folks who were, who made it through the tribulation. I'm not the tribulation, made it through the tribulation, I'm sorry, yeah. And so you've got people that can have offspring and those who cannot. Those who can have offspring, all of their offspring won't be Christian over a thousand years. And so because of that, those will be some of the ones that Satan will come out and deceive and they'll be this war. I'm sure. But I think, I think Brian put up the, what do you call the address? Not the address, but the link of the video I did on tribulation. I think, I've done a few of them. I've done a few of them. I can't keep up with them. No, Dutz, I will not. Let me answer this question briefly too. I want to, even though he's asked questions before, I did want to cover it before I forget. By the way, Denise, thank you so much for the super chat as well as Lee and Tyne. Thank you so much for the super chat. Appreciate that. I know you're not a Calvinist. People don't believe that though. When Corey, you're not a Calvinist. Corey's a Calvinist or he's a Calvinist. He's one of those dirty Calvinist sympathizers. I don't know why the dirty word for some people is Calvinist. That being the case though, I am on this week or next week or be reaching out. I don't know what's going to happen. I imagine he will though. I think he will. But I'm going to reach out to Leighton Flowers. I want to ask him. I want to see if I can bring him on for a few questions. So that'll be interesting if he comes on, which I think he will. Anyway, I know you're not a Calvinist, but do you believe there is a case for limited atonement in John 17, 8, 9 and 20? So let's go to John 17. Let's start in verse seven. Now they have come to know that everything you have given me is from you. For the words which I gave, I'm sorry, what you gave me, I have given to them and they received them and truly understood that I came forth from you and they believe that you sent me. I ask on their behalf, I do not ask on behalf of the world, but those of whom you have given me, for they are yours. And let's drop down. Let's scroll to verse 20, you said. I do not ask on behalf of these alone, but also for those who believe in me through their word. Well, a couple things I'm glad you asked for the verse 20 part, because the first portion of that is he's just speaking specifically to his apostle or disciples, soon to be apostles. And so let's drop, let's go to verse, let's see, hold on, let's start, let's see. But now I come to verse 13, but now I come to you and these things I speak in the world so that they may have my joy made full in them. I have given them your word and the word has hated them, the world has hated them, I'm sorry, because they are not of the world, even as I am out of the world. I do not ask you to take them out of the world, but you keep them from the evil one. They are not of the world, even as I am out of the world, sanctify them in truth, your word. As you sent me into the world, I have also sent them into the world. For their sake, I sanctify, I'm sorry, for their sake, I sanctify myself, that they themselves also may be sanctified in truth. Here it is verse 20 again. I do not ask on behalf of these alone, but for those also who believe in me through their word, that they may all be one, even as you, father and I, I'm already me and I in you, that they also may be in us, so that the word may be, the world may be believed that you sent me. Now, here's the question. Is verse 20 speaking about us or is he speaking about them, meaning the disciples? I think he's still speaking about the disciples. I think he's still speaking about the disciples and so, but if to say that he has a concern, a specific concern for a specific group of people to do specific things with, I don't have a problem with that, but my issue, my biggest issue with limited atonement is because it is literally taking what the old atonement was and making this new atonement and the same procedures as there, that atonement was made for all. It just didn't benefit all. And so the same, and that's why I also believe what John said in first John as well. And so it just be hard for me to see that. I do understand that sometimes there are passes that seem to say that so, and do I believe that he died for those, that he has us, but he knows who he's dying for. Yeah, but I think two things can be true at once that I am making this available for everyone, but it's only effective for some and I'm making it effective for those who it will be beneficial for. Cory, do you still have that cat? Yeah, I do. Yeah, matter of fact, his bathroom is right there. So, okay, I mean, I'm just looking at these two questions that Sharice put. One, Jaira's a fine name, that's the throne of that name is, yeah, that's fine. They're folks that call their kids Jesus. Some call them, by the way, there are people that call their kids Jesus. And guess what? Jesus wasn't the first person who was born of a woman to have the name Jesus. So, but do I think that that's, no, you might be putting enough, a lot of pressure on them. So, if it's going to be a boy, why not just go with Cory? I mean, work for me, I'm kidding. And my thoughts on Melchizedek and Jesus are the same, it's possible. I think I didn't even get a video on that. It's possible, I wouldn't rule out that he's not, that he's not. So, but I don't think he is. I don't think he is, but it's possible. Hey, Zeus. Okay, let me go answer some more questions. Again, y'all forgive me, but I'm trying to get the ones who haven't asked a lot of questions or haven't asked a lot of their questions. Are you wrong for thinking about all the preaching about prosperity? Yeah, you are, not that you're wrong. No, you're right. People take advantage of people that don't have and offer them what they don't have. They dangle a carrot and see, I got it, you can have it. But then, for one, you go and look at those people. These aren't very godly people, they're not very godly acting people. Is Passionjava, is he from Nigeria? I believe Lovie, Eliza, from Nigeria, you're right. You look at their doctrine, their lifestyle I'm just, no, you are, because that's not what the Bible preached. The Bible is not preached, that we are supposed to be prosperous financially. Being prosperous financially is okay though. You can be prosperous financially, but that's not the goal. If the goal, remember what Paul says, that there are some that see godliness as a means for gain, not knowing that godliness really is the game. And so there are those that preach that, we get by, leave them alone, run from them as fast as you can. Colossians 1, 15, he is the image of the invisible God, the first born over all creation. So let's go to that passage. So good question, first Colossians. Colossians 1, 15, that's what on the screen. He is the image of the invisible God, the first born of all creation. For by him, all things were created, both in heavens and earth. So what does that mean, the first born? Well, it's not to say that he was, by the way, the word that's first born, it's not born like we think. And so that therein lies the key. The first born is this word right here. Here's the Greek word, look to the right. It is the word prototakas, which is where we get the word prototype. Now it probably makes a little bit more sense now. So he is the prototype. He is over all creation. He's not the first born over all creation. And by the way, the word born just simply means to be the first in existence of all creation. And that even if the word used the word, the Greek word, forget on my, that wouldn't be a problem either for us because he was the first to exist. So as I say, sometimes it actually is pretty good. I know some people don't like it, but it actually is pretty good to from time to time go and actually look at the Greek. And then sometimes that can help explain some things. Amen, let me pull it off. So James will then answer your question. Okay, I'm going to answer more of these questions. He says, my crush is 10 years older than me. Do I think that age gap is too big? Well, I mean, 10 years is not that big a deal. You'll notice the deal though, when you're 50 and she's 60, but you'll be there soon enough. I actually take it back though, really it's not that big a deal. That's a preference for you, BJ. That's really more preference for you. Advice for those who get locked down on, who get locked down on for speaking Christ, but being young in age. It's sometimes hard speaking to older people because old dogs can't learn new tricks if that makes sense. It does, it does. And let's just be honest, when a young whipper snapper wants to talk to the old mature people, cause that's how we look at it. Who are you talking to, young fella? That can be a problem. So what you have to do is be wise and how you do so. I had problems when, as a younger minister, talking to some of the older people and even some of the older ministers and elders, it was hard, even if I knew I was right, it would be hard sometimes for them to receive it. And then I had to learn, well, that's just part of the training. That's just life. You know the saying, it is what it is. That's just how it is. So you got to, if you think that your words are worth them listening to, then you have to be wise enough to couch them in a way to get them listened to. You gotta use some wisdom sometimes, right? So that's a you issue and everybody issue. That's just life. That is just life. If you're talking about your email December, I did get it. I did, I haven't read it yet, but I did see that you sent it. Look, as I said, 10 years isn't a big deal. Yes, 10 years isn't a big deal unless they're underage. She put the caveat on there, exactly. If they're underage, your issue is not what us then. If they're underage, your issue is not what us. Your issue was with the people with the guns and the badges and the handcuffs and the courts. Yeah, that's your issue, but I think, I don't think it's what you're talking about though. What is my view on born again virgins? You're not really a virgin, but I'm fine with that. I'm fine with that. Live like you're a virgin. If you have been out there, you know, I'll leave it at that. If you've been out there and you want to cease at that and you want to live like a virgin and you want to treat your body like you are, male or female, well then amen, praise God for that. Ain't no time like the present. So rather than saying, you know what? I may as well finish what I started. No, don't do that. Just pump the brakes, stop, and there you go. So yeah, I'm fine with that. I mean, are they really virgins? No, but fine, I don't have a problem with that. Do I think that everything that God can do and will do are only, no, everything that God will do and that he can do is not in the scriptures. But what's in the scripture is what's fitting for us to learn of him, to grow in him, to place our faith in him. Everything about God cannot be contained in this book, but everything that we need to know for our salvation and our growth is there. That's why it says that all these scriptures have been God-breathed for our growth in him, for teaching, for proof, so that we don't lack anything as men and women of God. Now, that's quite different than someone turning around and saying that everything that God has a sayer can do is not in the Bible. So therefore, we can get extra revelation. No, I'm not gonna listen to that, though. I'm not gonna listen to that. So, well, amen, lovely. If you're talking about the same topic, amen. I'm not gonna answer that question. I'm not gonna answer that question. I'm not gonna answer that question. Okay, I did kind of halfway answer the question. So which theological school or program? I would say this, depending on how far you're trying to go because some programs, let's say if it's a graduate level, some graduate level programs, you can't take them all online. Some you can. So you're gonna, and I hate to say this, but you're gonna have to do your own research on that to figure out what's the best one for you because you're not just necessarily limited to Tennessee. It could be someplace outside of Tennessee. And if it's certain parts of East Tennessee where they might be more rural, you might be close to West Virginia. And so there might not be one there. You are probably gonna be relegated to being online. So can you tell me where your online study Bible is? So sort of try the Greek comparison, please. I'm not sure what you're asking. My online Bible, I don't have an online Bible, hold on. Are you talking about the Bible study that we do here on Saturdays? If that's what you're talking about, it's just every Saturday, just go to the channel and just go to the playlist that says Bible studies. Of course we haven't gotten to Greek, if that's what you're talking about. But if you're talking about where I learned the Greek or how you can study the Greek online, I don't know where you would, there are different places, but you're gonna have to get a particular program. One of the easiest ones to get is probably mouses, build mouses, basics of biblical Greek. So if that's helpful, I'm not sure if I'm understanding your question, but I hope it helps. Should the book of Genesis be interpreted literally or allegorically? Everything should be interpreted literally until you have a reason not to. You interpret literally. Think about it, God is speaking to, God is speaking to Moses, who's telling the people of what God has done. Now I want you to think about this for a second. This is the problem that I have with people that don't think that they ought to be reading the Bible or interpreting it literally. Here's the problem that I have. God is speaking to Moses and God wants Moses to tell the people, which is why he has them to write it down. Think about the Holy Spirit in these people to cause them to write this stuff down. Now this is an easy question. When you send a letter or when you write to someone or when you text someone or when you talk to them, do you want the person that you're communicating with do you want them to understand it? Well, the obvious answer is yes. Sure, I want them to understand what I'm saying. Well, if you want them to understand what you're saying and if they are to take what you're saying allegorically or to spiritualize it, here's the question. How will they know? Did you give them some sort of decoder ring or something like that to help them understand how to best allegorize this text? No. So when Moses is speaking to them and he tells them that God created them or did this on this day and on that day and on that day, they know he uses terms, he uses words that they understand. So what is an actual day to them? They know what a day is. Matter of fact, he used a comparison to say that in six days he created the earth, which is why he says on the sixth day you should observe, I mean, the seventh day you should observe the seventh. He uses exact comparison of days. And so he's not trying to confuse them. That's the problem with people allegorizing or spiritualizing text. That would leave it open to everyone's own interpretation. He didn't want to do that. It's the problem we have with a lot of hypercharismatics. They allegorize a text, spiritualize this. This is what God has said. Did you hear what, and I'm asking this question now, did you hear what lovialized how he interpreted the fall of Adam and why Adam ate the fruit? This is, I mean, it's extreme foolishness because he's allegorizing text and people are in the audience, they're, wow, that's awesome. That's deep, preach, teach, no, sit down or better yet, get a ticket and go back to, I hate to say the black, I can say this in black, go back to Africa. I wish you would, I wish you would go back and I know the Africans over there, they don't want them back over there either. Go somewhere, go to China with that. How about that? Lovialize, get a ticket and go to China. Go prophesy in China, go prophesy in North Korea, go prophesy in Iran. But they spiritualize a text so badly that now, since I can't read the text, because you have people that come out and like, I don't, I can't understand what they're saying. I can't understand what they're saying, but I need this person to tell me this. Well, that's a problem then. I need you. You asked, so should we believe that literally that a serpent actually spoke to Eve? Here's the question. Here's the question. Why wouldn't you? One, the Bible says it. Here's how you could know that you should take what the Bible says is true because everything that it says so far is true. All the prophecies are true. So if the prophecies are true, then shouldn't everything else also be true? If I can trust it, then I should trust what it says. What's so difficult? What's so hard? I understand it because we're thinking, kind of practically speaking. What's so difficult about believing that a serpent spoke to a person because serpents don't speak today? Okay, fine. Was this an ordinary serpent? No, it was not. Two, what's harder to imagine? What's harder to imagine? If you had to, if you or anyone else, it's not just you, but anyone else, if you had to perform a task of causing a serpent to speak, what's harder for a serpent to speak or for us to exist as human beings? Think about it. What's the probability? What's the likelihood of it happening? I mean, because think about it. Us existing is a pretty astronomical thing, even the existence of the world. And so a serpent speaking, where does that measure compared to every other thing that's happened? Pretty low. What is my name? My name is Cory. My name is Cory Minor. What's your name? Who are the saints that will return with Jesus? Those of those who are dead in Christ, he's at the dead in Christ, those who have died in him. So anyone that has died and they are as a believer, they will be with him. That's who that is. And they will get their glorified body. Oh, hi, Aaron. Sapphire says, should we consider moving out of a worldly environment to be closer to the others who are dedicated to God, or should we persevere in these difficult environments? It's discouraging. What depends? It depends. Sometimes it's a matter of health and safety. For example, if you are living next door to a nuclear reactor, and I'm being facetious, but if it's a physically harmful place, a lot of smoke and so forth, yeah, move. You've got good neighbors, but listen, I don't want to grow a third arm. I don't want an extra eye growing out of my neck. Nope, I'll move. But what if it's a dangerous place? There's crime and violence. We'll move if you can. If you can, by all means, move. But then what if it's a city? I don't like living in, I don't know. You know what? I'm sorry folks in Chicago, but I don't want to live in Chicago. Too dangerous. There's certain parts we'll move, by all means. I don't know why you would live in Chicago when Indiana's next door. I'm kidding. Some places it's okay to move. It is perfectly okay to move, especially if it's for the benefit of your family. When you say to persevere, persevere how? If you think you're going to change the trajectory of that community, well, unless you're going into politics and you got some sway, but if you're just a regular old Joe or Jane, and you're trying to grow your family and you want to be in place where people are like-minded, then amen, fine, that's the problem with that. I remember when we, when we started off in college, my wife and I, and we lived, we went to Texas Tech, which is in Lubbock. Lubbock is a wholesome, well, I'm not sure what it is now, but it's grown a little bit since then. Wholesome place, nice family place. The public schools had no problem with promoting Jesus. Now, obviously this was in the early 1990s. So it may be different now. But compared to Dallas, Lubbock was heaven as far as the people were concerned. People were just nice people. I'll never forget this. I'm in Lubbock. I'm going across the street from the main street fourth. Yeah, fourth. No, yeah, fourth. Across from the football stadium, over to like that little shopping center area. I had my father send me some money. So I was going to the little Western, back then you had to go to Western Union to get your money. And it's a, I think it's four lanes on this, going this way and four lanes on the other direction. And an older white lady, I shouldn't say older because it probably, with me, she was probably 40 when I was 18, 19, going across the street to get some money. And you know how you, you wait for a car to go by and then you walk behind it. Now the speed limit, there's like 45, 50 on this little, this thoroughfare. And I'm waiting further than the go. And she slows down. I'm thinking, nope, nope, nope, nope, nope, nope, nope. I can see this on the news. I can see this on the news. A little black boy gets hit by a white lady. I didn't see him coming. I can just see it. Nope, I'm not gonna, nope, not gonna do it. Well, that's just me projecting, right? No, she's like, no, she stopped, she literally stopped and, you know, go ahead and go. They are some of the nicest people there. They really are. And that's a good environment. Now, is it all of Lubbock that way? No, but it was just a good environment to raise your kids. Just people with some decency and common sense. Whereas here in Dallas, not so much. Not, there's some good people in here in Dallas too. Especially, I'll just be honest guys. Sorry, sorry people up north. The south is a little bit nicer than a lot of places up north. Now, it's getting to the point where not so much also because some of these Northerners and people from the West Coast are moving here. So what is the difference between your daily struggle with your flesh and being double-minded with one is just kind of your physical nature. Being double-minded is kind of how you see things. That is an emotional, spiritual, mental thing. Not a physical thing. One is of the flesh, one is internal. Are you with me? So that's really the key difference. Matter of fact, you know what? That might require a short, interesting video. Yeah, that might require a short, interesting video. Yeah, you know what? Atlanta ain't Atlanta anymore, and here's the thing. I've never been to Atlanta, never been there. But I know I've got a bunch of friends that either were or are Atlanta and Atlanta. It's the same, so. But you know what? Neither is Dallas. Dallas is not the same either. So I'm not sure what do you mean that I was mistaken about them. Okay, my understanding of this millennial reign is after the tribulation, then Christ comes and there's this millennial reign. And then immediately after that, then there's going to be Satan released. And then what is he gonna do? He is going to deceive the nations. How he deceives the nations, these are the only people that could be, they're only possible people that could be deceived are those who are not in Christ. During this millennial reign, there will be people, as Jeremiah says, there are those who if they don't live to a certain age, that's a bad thing. If you die before 100, no bueno. Kids won't die, we won't have people dying as children anymore, as babies. So who is Satan when he's released going to deceive? He's gotta deceive somebody. Well, it can't be those with the glorified body, those that were raptured and given and taken on, put on an incredible body, can't be those. The only people that it could possibly be would be those people who made it through the tribulation, who did not get a glorified body and then they live immediately going into the millennial reign and they had children. And then their children may have had children. We're talking about a thousand years. And so there's gotta be somebody who physically can have children who have not placed their faith in Christ. Well, everyone that makes it through the tribulation and go into the about a thousand year reign, all of those people at that moment, at that moment at the beginning of the millennial reign, everybody will be a believer in Christ. That didn't mean that the people that they have, that the children that they have will be believers. And so that's where that comes from. That's why I say that. Okay. No, Dino, there are other people here. Who is here, as a matter of fact? Let's put and see. No, Chess Champ is here. Yep, there's Chess Champ. Monkey Moves. I thought I saw Roshan. There's Sheila. Let's see who else is here. By the way, by the way, by the way, if it was just Monkey Moves, he can handle it. Yeah, there's Roshan right there. Oh, I didn't intend on answering that question. I didn't know you had a question, but how will those who pierced him see him coming? Well, who's the those that pierced him? Those are the Jews. He doesn't mean that literally the people that actually did it. No, he didn't mean them. He's referring to Israel. Okay. Let me take, I didn't realize it was late. Let me take one more question. The Bible software that I use is Accordance. But I also use, where is she at? Where is she? There she is. I also use, I'll go on and put it over here in a way. I also use Lagos. I also use, which I don't use it like I should. I really don't. I gotta work on that. I gotta work on that. Do I recommend studying other religions just to know what they believe and being, no. No, because I can promise you, the religion that you study won't be the one that comes before you and asks you questions. I would, I could care less about what other religions think I really could. No. Now, if you're around a lot of people of a certain persuasion, let's say you've got a lot of Muslim friends or you've got a lot of Buddhists, I can understand you wanting to look into it, but I don't think you have to become an expert because even the people that are the greatest experts, even folks that came out of Islam, those that are entrenched in it, they don't wanna come out. And people don't come out of Islam because you've disproven Islam. People come out of Islam because you've made your point, you've made your case for Christ. That's why, and so that's what I would do. What can you do if you feel like Paul, as if you were the chief of centers, rejoice in that because if you feel like you're a chief of center, then that just tells you something about your heart because you don't like sin. I think it's a good thing for a person not to like sin. Do I have to, first of all, Gavin, you're not at all. So, but do I have to date people when I'm old? Can I just stay alone? You can stay alone. You can stay alone, but I'm pretty sure some fella is gonna sweep in and sweep you off your feet. He's probably gonna, listen, I'm pretty sure you have all the bald-headed guys lining up pretty soon and you will have your picket of litter. Not that a good guy can't have hair. You know, listen, there are plenty of decent guys out there I imagine that have hair. I mean, heck, I had hair at one time. But when I was a child, I spoke as a child. I had a reason as a child and I had hair. But when I became a man, I put hair away. So there, I am eventually gonna do a video on Freemason. I am gonna do a video on Freemason. So anyway, ladies and gentlemen, I'm tired and I'm struggling. I have a ridiculous headache. Huh? Okay, don't go on it. A moderated chimed in. So I have to see what he says. Uh-oh, wait a second. How did I do this? I messed up something. Hold on. Okay, two of them chimed in. So I'm going to, this better be a good question. Okay, let me see. Where is she? Where's her question? You've been asking for five weeks. Oh, oh, you asked that question. Would your wife be willing to give her testimony how she got through, how she got through while you were on your federal tour? I have to ask her. I'll ask her. I'll ask her. I don't know if you would have wouldn't. I don't know. My wife, when I got a hater job, my hater job. Wait, wait a second. First of all, this hater, look at this hater. This hater, and he's got his hair. He says, I'm 53 and I still have hair. Well, listen, don't worry. Just keep praying, go out, fix it. It just gets thicker as I grow. Amen, amen. But my wife, she works a lot. She has this little teen lead thing that she does at her school, and lower we know that she's not working for the pay. Teachers don't get paid a lot, and they overwork her. They really do. I think it's starting to get on her, where she's like, I don't wanna say anything because maybe some of her colleagues might actually watch it. But, she might, I'll ask her though. I'll ask her. I can tell you this. I can tell you this. What happened? What happened to Chest Chant? Am I the only one that still calls you Chest Chant? Yeah, put somebody out if somebody did something wrong. But I'll ask her. I will tell you this though. I will tell you this though. How could she not wait? How could she not? I mean, I'm a kid. I better stop. I better stop. I better stop. So, do you all still call Chest Chant? I can't, I know his name is Brian. I know his last name. But even when I call him, I, Chest Chant. Chest Chant. Chest Chant, what you doing, Chest Chant? His daughter, the little Chest Chant. So, oh, he's Apostle Chest now. Oh, okay, he was upgraded. All right, Apostle Chest. Okay, no problem. I mean, listen, that's involved. You will, one thing, you can make a lot of money with that, so. Anyway, guys, I love you. I am tired. I've got to see. I was sick yet. The reason why we didn't do the live stream yesterday. I was not feeling good. I was not feeling good. And I don't do a good, I don't do a good enough job taking care of myself. I'll tell you all, I'll tell you, I can't tell you when I'll tell you, but hopefully in the next week or so, I took a test, took an exam. And I'll tell you what it was and what the result of it was. So, I will say this though, I passed, but did I pass well enough? Passed well enough. And so I'll tell you all more about it and how it will relate to you guys. So, that being the case, guys, I love you all. I got to go take a break. I'm coming down with something. I'm fighting it. I'm fighting it. I'll probably go out and do a workout. I haven't worked out in a couple of days. I'm gonna go do some burpees. How about that? No, I'm gonna lay down. I'm gonna lay down. So anyway, guys, I love you all so much. I will see you all on tomorrow. Bye-bye.
