 ahead and jump into it there's a question though that I saw earlier and it's not showing up over here I want to copy that because in life today I want to make sure I actually answered this particular question so let's see okay I'm sorry so go ahead and guys like always not going to be able to get to all of your questions today we try to get to as many as we can by the way happy good Friday hope you all are doing well I want to there were a couple of questions that were presented previously on the on the live stream on the chat before we start I think it was yesterday earlier but anyway I want to go ahead and and cover those I'll also try to mark questions as we go so matter of fact one of these questions actually pretty interesting question and it has given a lot of people problems or troubles but that's not the first one the first one is from Deborah King she says in in the Bible was John the Baptist the last the last prophet of the Bible he wasn't the last prophet as a matter of fact let's put it on the screen let's see I don't want to go where do I want to go this is Luke 16 I probably should have went to the one in in Matthew okay the law and the prophets were proclaimed until John Luke 1616 since that time the Gospel the kingdom has been preached and everyone is forcing his way into it now this is where the kingdom of violence the kingdom God suffers violence anyway without going into that John was the last prophet of the old what we call the Old Testament of the Old Covenant John was the last prophet under that dispensation so yes John was considered to be the last prophet the matter of fact you'll see there's one incident where Jesus is speaking about even the martyrs he didn't get to John just yet but he indicates he puts John in that same category he speaks about the first martyr all the way up to the last martyr people who is shed blood he also speaks about different prophets and he links John in so he says here the law and the prophets were proclaimed until John and so he is linking John as a prophet as a matter of fact as a matter of fact let's see let me go to the other passage the other passage is Matthew 11 12 Matthew 11 12 from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffers by his soul verse 13 for all the prophets and the law prophesied until John and so here he's also linking John says truly truly I say to you among those born of women there hasn't not yet arisen anyone greater than John the Baptist shed the one who is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he yeah so on we put it yes John the Baptist was technically the last Old Testament prophet why why do we do this why we got what the reason is I'm trying to maybe you all can tell me I think that Fridays are gonna be a day where going forward I'll probably be probably do live streams earlier in the day and then Monday through Thursday if I'm doing live stream it'll be at 5 o'clock the reason is one I get tired but two in preparation for the Bible study on on Saturday if there's anything I need to cover or anything to make ready so that's that's the reason why I'm sorry I'm I'm sorry Brianna I apologize now if if I get a lot of pushback and everyone is saying hey could you let's not do this this early and and even the majority of people that actually watch this channel are tend to be on YouTube YouTube kind of gives us a little disillusioned show the folks that watch the channel whether they be subscribers just actual just viewers it shows kind of a range of when they're actually on YouTube and watching to give you kind of idea of when you should be on 11 a.m. is kind of the beginning range I don't know maybe if I get enough push back and folks and hey no move it back then I'll probably move it back I'll probably move it back what is a what is a good time you tell me Brianna what when's a when's a good time yes I've actually are doing Q&A right now and definitely today because because because of the data today is so anyway let's see the next question that was presented now this is a this is one that's called some some uncertainty some head scratching some speculation that is this passage here someone asked a question what does it mean in 1st Timothy 2 15 that she will be saved through childbearing so let's go to that passage and as a matter of fact let's start from the beginning cuz I want to kind of keep it in context this is when Paul is addressing women and the difference between men and women look let's start in verse 8 he says therefore I want them I want the men and the word for men is Andra so it's clearly speaking of males I want the males in every place to pray lifting holy hands without a wrath and dissension likewise I want the women this is the word genica genica or the genica switches obviously women and females to adorn themselves with proper clothing modestly and discreetly we probably are talking about that more not with braided hair and gold or pearls or costly garments but rather by means of good works as is proper for women making a claim to God in this a woman must quietly receive instruction with entire submissiveness but I do not allow a woman to teach or exercise authority over a man but to remain quiet for it was Adam who was first created and then Eve and it was not Adam who was deceived but the woman being deceived fell into transgression here it is but women will be preserved through the bearing of children if they continue in faith and love and sanctity with self-restraint and this word here for preserve is the word where we get salvation some version may even say saved or south or receive salvation because it's a it's based off of the word so so we get this word from sotereana so so which means to be saved the word generically does not necessarily pertain to spiritual salvation it can be it can retain be pertaining to anything whether I rest you someone from a burning building from drowning being saved but in this case I think this is speaking of spiritual salvation but it didn't really make sense how does having children make you save obviously you must place your faith in Christ in order to be safe is this saying that as long as she's married and behaving in a certain way then and bearing children then she'll be saved because of that no and there's a lot of speculation about it I think by keeping this in context I think it's really saying not that she will be saved by or through child child bearing but while child bearing in other words it speaks about how she ought to be how a woman ought to be now though it's 2023 and we may have changed a little bit on how we do things and that we may have kind of blurred the lines and responsibility between male and female and so forth especially married married male and females God hasn't God didn't stutter on what he decided to do what he's designed what he's called us to be God hasn't hasn't stuttered on that as well at all and so in this in this situation I think God is really saying Paul is saying that this is something that women would do while being holy being godly being modest maintaining what they're what they are to do and and basically you just focus on being saved do the work that you're supposed to do and in doing so you're being saved while bearing children not that because you're bearing children or the children and I don't think is referring to to Jesus I don't think now is it possible that I could possibly wrong it's possible because a lot of people have tackled this and they've got different theories but I think that the whole point that he's speaking of is really kind of the order and function of women we know he's speaking of the roles because look what he goes on to say immediately after that after verse 15 he speaks he goes to chapter 3 speaking about overseers or pastors and the qualifications of them and so he's making a distinction in the roles between male and female and that as she's being saved and so forth living godly and so forth that she would be bearing children obviously it'd be her and not the male's contrary to popular opinion that men can also bear children we know for a fact that that cannot be so and that was asked by by Jay think of her name is for her name Jay so that being the case let's go to the next one Sheila Mahon ask question Corey how can I fight intrusive thoughts that is a good question let's go to a good answer because Paul actually dresses this I think we cover this before Philippians okay here we go where do I want to start here we go let's start let's start in verse 4 of Philippians chapter 4 rejoice in the Lord always again I will say rejoice well that's the first step rejoice take pleasure take pride take joy in what he has done in you and for you and through you in many cases because of you your salvation let your gentle spirit be known to all men the Lord is near be anxious for nothing but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your request be made known to God he's telling you if you got a request he's telling you how to make your request the attitude behind it the thought the the feelings in you that you should have as you're making these requests verse 7 and the peace of God which surpasses all comprehension will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus understanding that keeping your mind focused on those things will go a long way I mean a long way towards dealing with the things that you deal with because it's not just you it's not just you everyone has something that they deal with it go through that they feel ups downs tossed back and forth by this world we all go through it and but these are the things that we ought to focus on so what does he say finally brethren whatever is true whatever is honorable whatever is right whatever is pure whatever is lovely whatever is a good repute or report if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise obviously that's God and his word dwell on these things the things you have learned and received and heard and seen in me practice these things and the God of peace will be with you how hard is it now think about this how hard is it to be in a state of melancholy depressed depression and so forth if you are really honestly in your word and on your knees meaning that you're giving time to him it's kind of hard because if you're really focusing on him it's hard to focus on the other things and I think that's that's his matter fact I know that's his point so that's what I would do because now those intrusive thoughts are gonna be replaced by something else so hope that helps someone asked also what did he say matter of fact let me put it right here he asked a question I should have I can't put on the screen because for some reason the computer's not putting it let me put on the but first that's only in four ask my question my priority what day of the week was Nissan 14 in the year 33 AD meaning was it I guess you're asking was it on Friday it was on a Friday how many days passed between Jesus crucifixion and Jesus's resurrection how many Sabbaths during those days there were he was he was certainly killed on a Friday and though if we added the way we look at it well that's that's that's only two days Friday to Saturday Saturday Sunday but we have to remember when the days started in Jewish on a Jewish calendar because we're speaking of and you ask the day of Nissan the day of Nissan and the Jewish calendar is not like our calendar there are one two there are let me name let me name the names of the Jewish months Nissan er 7 Tammuz of Elul Tishri Hashvan Kislev and Tevet and they kind of correspond a little bit but not totally with our calendar course our counters are kind of odd anyway one month has 30 days another 31 one of the dog on months has 28 but the the Jewish calendar is a lunar calendar not like ours so Nissan is is somewhere around what we've called them between March and April kind of coincides with some of March some of April are you with me and so which is kind of why Easter is usually around this time matter of fact I just thought about it Sunday is my brother's birthday should I even tell him happy birthday should I call up my this is my dumb brother should I call him say hey dumb brother happy birthday I think I will I think there's nothing like making fun of picking on your big brother nothing like nothing like it at all but anyway on a Friday the day remember how the days began and end and so his death was on a Friday then we've got Saturday and Sunday now part of the day in Jewish culture is the same as all of the day are with me so part of the day on Friday he was dead all of Friday all of Saturday he was dead and part of Sunday are you with me so that's that's the whole point behind that that's how we how we kind of reconcile that all right okay let's see I'm let me start marking some more of these questions let's see I'm not telling my brother you said happy birthday I don't want I don't want any I don't want him to know that anyone else thought enough of him to tell him happy birthday no he no no I'm kidding okay I love my brother but it and my wife gets she why do you talk why do you two we talk crazy each other we I mean we talk we talk so much smacked each other and so but he has it coming he has it coming he could he could have been a better big brother how about that and so it's my it's my duty to continue this for the rest of his life and then even after he dies let's see and by the way guys don't ask difficult questions let's ask let's ask easy questions today okay I think let's say I'm mark those let me mark a few more so I can go ahead and start answering these questions Marvin you said that's incorrect what's what's incorrect I'm not sure what you're referring to and as you know there are times where I have been wrong once or twice a year so you may have you may have found one of those once or twice times let's see okay all right let's see Devonta gonna ask any more questions I got you got you marked okay all right let's go to it good question Ricky Ricky in Texas how does the devil take away the word from their heart he's speaking of the parable of the source and in Luke chapter 8 how did you apply your hermeneutic to get your answer thanks Corey well what the devil is going to remember I said this before where when we speak about demonic influence demonic influence doesn't have to be in you to be effective how does the devil bother or thwart or interfere or as he's or as Jesus says sift us or sift you like we or as Peter says how does he seek to devour us who said it has to be from the inside because again we are surrounded by at least I would I don't know I'm just throwing number out I would imagine I'm pretty close to this number at least seven billion non believers would you all think that's pretty close accurate so let's say we are surrounded by non-believers when we go to work some of you all when you come home when you go to the store on the road you're always surrounded by non-believers you're surrounded by people who have no interest in Christ but they have every interest in being mean evil well life happens and so in Luke 8 matter of fact let's go to that passive let's go that I want to go on the spring Luke 8 because he gives some some insight into that I think as to how this happens now the now the parable is this the seed is the word of God obviously those beside the road are those who have heard then the devil comes and takes away the word from their heart so that they will not believe those on the right now I didn't get very much in that one but notice what he says on this one which kind of help us understand the previous one those on rocky soil are those who when they hear receive the word with joy and these have no firm root they believe for a while and in time of temptation fall away so how does the patient work well it doesn't have to be you necessarily but but obviously because there's not a lot I hope you guys know there's not a lot of variation in temptation there's maybe four or five or six different things that the devil's gonna tempt us with right maybe money maybe some of the opposite sex maybe some sort of substance what have you the same thing just tried and true just rewrapped and so he brings those things to you by way of someone else who's not trying to work for the Lord okay are you with me so don the devil Bob the backslider right Joe Jehovah witness Mike the Mormon whoever Sheila the seductress whatever I don't know you name it these people come around you and they're offering different things and because you haven't been getting what you wanted because whoever who gets what they want now you're feeling tempted you're seeing something you know the devil knows it's something that there's something out there that you like remember he tries to tempt Jesus he's gonna try to tempt you and so he is going to put things before you he doesn't actually come in and take it from your heart he can't do that but what's in your heart has no root whatsoever and so it's easy for them to be taken away what's in your heart is just it's a superficial belief it's head knowledge and that's kind of what he means in your heart not that he actually digs in because when the Bible speaks of heart in either Hebrew or Greek there's a there's a reference between and there's a meaning that can that will either refer to the heart or the head the both the same he's not speaking of the actual organ itself so what does he do he brings things to entice you or to move you away the cares of the world persecutions what have you those are the things that he will do or that he will use to take away the word of God amen now again the word of God was never secure in you in the not you but the person who he's speaking of was never securing you in the first place so oh that helps let's see is there a gift of intercession for certain people yeah us Christians that's our job our job is to intercede on behalf of everybody else our job is to that is if we're doing it right that is we if we actually care that is we actually love people if we even if we don't love the people we love the Lord and so our job remember remember guys we are servants we are ministers we are a holy nation a royal priest what do priests do priests intercede between the people and God what do you have that especially in the Old Testament the priest did not have they didn't have a Holy Spirit what do you have you have a Holy Spirit and so but in other words the God in you the spirit in you causes you to intercede on behalf of your brothers you pray for them you do things for them if they need your attention if they need your money if they need your food your clothing your prayers what have you your understanding that's how we do so and so yes we are to intercede on behalf of everybody that is our job that's our remember we have been given according to Paul 2nd 2nd Corinthians 5 17 18 19 we have been given the ministry of reconciliation and then one of my favorite verses 1 Corinthians 10 31 whatever you do do it all to the Lord God but he says in 33 so that people will be saved so the goal is to save people that's us interceding and ministering people or for the benefit of people so that helps that let's see could I please do a session teaching pastor Stephen Darby it'd be kind of hard to bring him up honestly because there's so much maybe I might I but I can't promise you that I can't promise you that could you please refute the salvation loss claims of 2nd Peter 2 1 and 220 let's go to it act I have 2nd Peter 2 verse 1 first but false prophets also arose among the people just as there also will be false teachers among you who will secretly introduce destructive heresies I'm sorry I should at least put on the screen shouldn't I who'll introduce to you destructive heresies even denying the master who bought them bringing swift destruction upon themselves so so basically you were bought how is it that you were bought well this goes to the point that I make often the purchase was made for you this is the propitiation was made for who who was who was the price levied for who was the price given to the price was given to everybody the price was paid for everybody I should say the debt that's owed was paid it just may not have been applied to you now in this case in this case you can even take it that Peter because he's speaking to or speaking mainly about the Jews who he is a an apostle for he certainly in that and that even makes even more sense for some of them or it could make more sense because if he's speaking about Israel specifically the Jews specifically wouldn't even make more sense because he paid the price specifically for Israel as well and you aren't listening now going to verse 20 and matter of fact continuing the same thought that Peter's having but we say is for if for if after they have escaped the defilements of the world by the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ they are again entangled in them and our overcome the last date has become worse for them than the first day for it would have been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness than having known it to turn away from the holy commandment handed to on to them so now that I'm sorry again I don't have it on screen we put it back on the screen I'm sorry for if they had have escaped the defilements of the world by the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ they are again entangled in them and overcome the last date has become worse for them than the first for it would be better for them not to have known the way of righteousness than having known it to turn away from the holy commandment now let's keep reading it has a it has happened to them according to the true proverb a dog returns to its own vomit and assail after washing returns to the wallowing in the mire now here's the question I want you all think about this for a second do you think that it's possible or likely that he is speaking of that he's speaking of Israel specifically now can this also apply to us is there another application that could be applied towards towards the towards the to the Gentile I think so I think so but I think it looks to be but in fact let's go to the very beginning let's go back to the top as we read the false prophets of roles among the people well if we drop down many will follow their sensuality and become of them the way of truth and be and will be maligned and in their greed they will exploit you with false words their judgments go for their judgment from long ago is not idle and their destruction is not sleep for God not spare his angels when they sin but cast them into hell and committed them into the pits of darkness reserved judgment and did not spare the ancient world but preserve Noah a creature of righteousness with seven others when he brought a flood upon the world of the ungodly and if he commanded the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah to destructions by reducing them to ashes having made an example of those who would live ungodly lies thereafter and if he rescued righteous the righteous lot let's drop down somewhere I don't know if you catch on what I'm saying if you notice he seems to be bringing up a lot of Jewish imagery things that Jews would know about now why is that important because that might seem to go along with what I said that is possible or likely that he is speaking of or to the Jews are with me matter of fact let me see something let's see how how Peter begins his address no this will actually be in for in chapter one this will be in chapter one I mean first Peter so anyway but I think the point is taken the point is that it's likely he is speaking to Jewish believers now obviously it could be applied to us okay and so those people matter of fact let me go back to it let's let's go back to it so that I mean if his primary audience is Israel for if they have escaped the defilements of the world by the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus well that makes sense if you speak of Israel they are again entangled in them and are overcome so I've delivered you God has delivered you and now you are still or even more so entangled in them the last date has become worse for them in the first date well does that does that sound like Israel they're worse often they were then prior they at least listened to God though they were disobedient now they're not even listening so the worst date for them is even more so for would have been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness than having known it to turn away from the holy commandment handed them Jesus makes a statement to the Jews he says that it would be better more tolerable for let's say Sodom and Gomorrah because if what would have been revealed to them would have been revealed they probably would have repented but you did not so it's going to be it's going to be more tolerable for them doesn't mean they both won't go to hell that the point is though maybe it's going to be the worst spots in hell I don't know the Bible didn't really say but sort of the same thing is coming to my mind here you guys are worse off than them because you know the history you were delivered and now you guys are even worse off now than even they were and so that would be kind of how I would how I would deal with that Devante. Michael D does Galatians 5-4 contradict one saved always saved no it does not let's go to Galatians 5-4 of course how do you just automatically just say no it does not because I get this one brought up a lot. Galatians 5-4 you have been severed from Christ you who are seeking to be justified by the law you have fallen from grace well wait a second what do you mean fallen from grace that seems to mean that or indicate that you can lose salvation well who's he speaking of people who are trying to do things under the law to be safe the Judaizers are coming to these to these people who say they're believers and are telling you you have to get this and this done if you are trying to be saved by the law or in this case trying to be saved by being circumcised because they were telling first become a Jew convert to Judaism then place your faith in Jesus as a Messiah don't do that is what he's saying if you are trying to be saved that way look what he says verse 4 he says if you have you have been severed from Christ who has been severed from Christ who is who are the ones that are falling away whoever it is that is seeking to be justified by the law they weren't they were never saved were they you're seeking if you are seeking to be justified by the law you cannot be justified by the law those of us who are saved are justified by our what our faith and so no this does not show that you can lose salvation this shows that anyone that is trying to be saved by their works they're cut off they're cut off from contention you cannot find Christ you can't see Christ you are severed you have fallen away and fallen away didn't mean that you were once in it and then you fell away I can fall away from a door not never having walked that door in first place so no that passage does not say that the church is true spiritual Israel ethnic Israel and all their practices were a foreshadow of the things that come if you are in Christ you are Abraham see heirs according no you're absolutely wrong couldn't you you couldn't be more wrong if you wanted to be because the church Israel is not the church is not spiritual Israel tell me the passage where I can look to where it says anything about a spiritual Israel no as a matter of fact Paul covers Israel in depth speaking about and regarding salvation in Romans 9 10 11 cover this before I'll cover it real briefly Romans 9 to 11 Paul is literally speaking about the problems that that he's facing how his heart is bothered at the fact that people becoming saved being brought into the church but Israel is not and we know he's speaking of a physical Israel not a spiritual Israel because when we go to the passage he speaks of people out of his his countrymen people of his flesh as a matter of fact let's put them screen why not just go there why not go there Romans 9 let's start Romans 9 look what he says he says I am telling the truth in Christ I am not lying my conscious testifies with me in the Holy Spirit that I have great sorrow and unceasing grief in my heart now by the way what did he just get to talk about in Romans 8 he's speaking about salvation and how we would not be cut off and so forth if nothing's gonna separate us then he goes into chapter 9 remember Paul didn't write chapters and verses so he the same thought that he's having and when he gets to 9 he says that my conscience testifies with me that I had this great sorrow unceasing grief in my heart for I could wish that I myself were cursed separated from from Christ for the sake of my brethren now are these true brethren or these spiritual brethren these are actual physical brethren my kinsmen according to the spirit no according to the flesh who are Israelites not spiritual Israelites but actual physical Israelites to whom belong the adoption to sons the glory and the covenants and the giving of the law and the temples now he goes on to say that God has not forgotten about them that he is going to finish what he started with Israel he says now right now though a partial hardening has taken place a spirit of stupor has taken place until the fullness of the Gentiles so when he's through dealing with the Gentiles he's going to turn his attention to who to Israel is he speaking about a spiritual Israel or a physical Israel well we know he's talking about a physical Israel it can't be the spiritual Israel is the church because if spiritual Israel is a church well then who in the world is Paul referring to why would he be bothered by spiritual Israel if spiritual Israel is coming to Christ right now he's not he's speaking about physical Israel and the bible says when the prophecy of the new covenant is announced he says he lets us know that Israel in Jeremiah 31 I think 35 36 that he will that Israel the nation of Israel will never cease to be a nation before the Lord so no it is incorrect and it is unbiblical not that you are unbiblical saying so but it is unbiblical it's a statement not found in the bible to state that Israel has replaced the church or or that the that the church is I'm sorry that the church to replace Israel or that the church is spiritual Israel there was no such passage you couldn't find that all right let's go back to it and I don't know why we want to be this is the thing that that that always baffles me why do we have to be somebody else why have we as believers become so insecure to where we've got to always be something more or something other than what we really are be satisfied in who you are if God has made you this be that be the best that we've got this problem right now where men want to be women women want to be men and we're even hoisting this upon our children you are not if you are if you are a Gentile you are not Israel and guess what if you know your bible you don't want to be Israel especially when the time comes where he is going to afflict Israel he is going to afflict him it's called Jacob's Trouble now does God know who the actual Jews are yes he does we don't um through all and we can do all the DNA tests and so forth all of us got a little bit of somebody in us but God knows and you don't want to be the one that God is dealing with when he brings about his wrath you're going to be thankful you're going to be faith if it were to happen soon enough in our lifetime you're going to be thankful that i'm right in your room you're going to be thankful for that i can promise you that anyway let's continue brian apologists thank you sir i appreciate the words of encouragement says can you explain first john five sixteen seventeen let's go to first john five sixteen seventeen uh what did i just do i just pushed a button okay first john five sixteen oh that's it okay if anyone sees his brother committing a sin not leading to death he shall ask god uh he shall ask and god will will for him give life to those who commit sin not leading to death there is a sin leading to death i do not say that he should make requests for this all unrighteous sin and there is a sin not leading to death here is his point his point is simply this there are some sins these aren't sins that will send you to hell these are just sins that will get you killed but there are sins so if you see your brother committing a sin that's not leading to death he's lying he is embezzling he's cheating he's got anger issues he's wrath he's been full go pray for speak to as we said earlier even intercede on his behalf but there are those that he says those that might might be committing a sin that leads to death because sometimes when we speak about death we mean the literal death you know he's upright today he's horizontal tomorrow vertical today horizontal tomorrow that kind of death and if you see a person that that's committing a sin that does lead to death the guy's going around starting fires or he wants to go rob police stations if you had if you're if you're robbing banks or you're robbing police stations there's a by the way do you know where there's a large amount of cash i mean a large amount of cash isn't the police station a lot of these police stations you'd be a fool to go rob a police station and by the way that would be a sin it would be a stupid sin that would lead to certain death they got guns matter of fact they got more guns than you got so and they got some tough ones i would not go do that that is i'm just giving an extreme example but that's a sin leading to death that could lead to death selling drugs on the street that's a sin that could lead to death having sex with in and everybody that's a sin that could lead to death so that's the point that he's making bj says are we are we really going to eat from the tree of life i thought we were going to have immortal bodies we are but guess what apparently this is what god has designed for and i do have a video coming out next week on the tree of life this is apparently how god has designed us to be sustained remember in the garden of eden god says that after they send what does he do he puts them out of the garden so they can no longer eat or take and eat a grass from the tree of life in other words that appeared to be what's going to sustain them or would have sustained them and so they would have been in this fallen state living forever when we get to where we're going to get to there's the tree is going to be there and we will eat from it forever and so when in revelation 22 it says that people who do certain things will not have their part in the tree of life well that's what he's speaking of you're not going to live forever so i so i guess these immortal bodies are still going to be sustained by the tree of life why does he do it that way i have no idea we just know that he does do it that way rolling thank you for the super chat i appreciate that is it true that moses wrote the scriptures by oral tradition passed down to him no no no we have a couple things we have an oral tradition we have a written tradition i think sometimes we get maybe we think that we're smart and everybody else we think that people back in the day didn't write they did write moses moses literally wrote down the bible says that he wrote it down and so and we know that he could read because guess what god actually writes on some tablets and moses can read those moses was also trained moses was was brought up in pharaoh's house pharaoh's sister was raising was his was his um play mother where his real mother was actually nursing him and raising him but moses could read moses could write moses was a learned man and so we have the written tradition we have what moses wrote down and then there's all these oral traditions and jesus actually impunes the the Pharisees and sardises and the rulers for leading too much on the oral tradition versus the we have both of those and even today jews you have jews that will even go to other written traditions writings uh that they should not these these jewish traditions that are written down but what moses given us the first five books of Torah that was clear that was written down that was not that was not an oral thing that was handed down to him now if you want to say orally handed down to him yet orally from the mouth of god to him yeah in that case sure we'll buy that so is holy spirit baptism the same as water baptism no it's not no it's not john says that i indeed baptize you with water but there's one coming after me who's mightier than i am who's before me who will do what he will he will baptize you with the holy spirit and that's the baptism that you need if you have not and by by the way paul says that in first Corinthians 12 that all of us have been baptized into one spirit all of us been baptized which is what the bible says jesus is going to do he's the one that does the baptizing and if he's the one doing the baptizing this is the one that saves us he's not baptizing us in physical order jesus that i know of did not come and grab you and dip you in the physical order physical baptism i'm not saying that you should not or it's not a good i didn't know all you're doing is making a public declaration of an internal profession that you've made before people okay but that's not what saves you it's not the physical water that has no properties in of itself it's not the the declaration before certain people because which people have to see you how many people do you have to baptize in front can you baptize in a in a in a bathtub you and another person could that be done does that be some witnesses but what does have to happen is you must be baptized in the spirit and those of us that have been baptized in the spirit are led by the spirit he gave us right to be called sons of god so now uh it's the spirit baptism that's required not the water baptism and but he does make a make a relation between that war living waters versus actual physical water do i personally keep the Sabbath or not no i do not no i no i do not one i'm a gentile i was i was never commanded to keep the Sabbath i will have a an internal Sabbath uh now if you want to keep the Sabbath that's fine uh two things about it one i wouldn't do so for the sake of being saved if you're again if you're going to keep tenants of the law to be saved then you must keep all of the law which which also requires that you have a day of atonement so that's one two some people get this thing where if you go to church on sunday then you're violating the Sabbath well sunday you can do what you want to on sunday if if you think that you want if you also think that you're supposed to keep the Sabbath then you can go to church on sunday there's nothing wrong with that and so i want to make that clear as well but we are never told uh Gentiles to keep the Sabbath we don't have any of the writings as paul and peter and james and john and these writings that we have we don't have them telling us that so and i so i don't i don't personally keep the Sabbath but there i am going to enter into an eternal Sabbath how about you guys is it true that verses are meaningless without precept um well let me just say this when you read there is the passage is not standing by itself muslims will read the Quran and the bible the same way well why is that because in the Quran there is no context they just have these serres and they go from the largest to the smallest so there is no context no chronology to it and so they apply the same rules when it comes reading the bible unfortunately many christians do the same thing we'll read the passage and we'll just go with it we'll read the passage and go with it without understanding if there's a context to go with it there's grammar that goes with there's syntax that goes with it there's history that goes with it and there's a literal a literal nest that goes with it unless it tells us not to because sometimes you'll see like in a revelation when john is trying to explain he says i saw and it was like well that means we know once he says that it is like or it was to then that means he's not trying to explain he's not explaining something that's actually literal he's explaining something that he cannot explain uh he's doing the very best he's can he's using words to try to do so okay so i hope that helps i already answered that one how much do you emphasize your study on eschatology i really don't i really i really don't um but it but it comes up this is the and i made this statement on someone else's channel by the way and i asked them because i think it needs to be stated people will make a statement that says that eschatology is not that important it's not a salvation issue and i said well i beg to differ it absolutely is a salvation issue but to whom is it a salvation issue remember if i'm correct if i'm correct and there is this spirit of stupor as paul says over israel and god is going to deal with israel then when these things are happening and god is telling us what's going to happen before this time of rap before this tribulation is going to happen and that now he's going to spend these seven years the first three is going to look like hey it's all nice and good but there's still going to be some signs they can kind of interpret in the middle of it bam it just goes it goes bad for israel and they they get afflicted they get bothered so what happens well if these people aren't understanding what the scriptures are told what the scriptures are saying then what's going to happen is they're going to miss it and they're going to miss out on salvation now obviously what god is going to do is god is going to do something with their hearts because he tells paul tells us that these elect in israel will also be saved just like the people who god chose in him it's going to do the exact same thing with israel and so it is a salvation issue but i don't make that the priority i don't i don't just read and think about eschatology as i'm going i don't think about church israel i don't do that when i'm when i'm reading i'm just reading kind of the context i'm reading the story the bible is a story a great story happens to be about our salvation how it's going to work out between us and israel and we see the path that israel has taken uh and then we see uh oh here these Gentiles are also we didn't see as much of it in the old testament but apparently not even apparently but actually he's always had this plan for Gentiles as a matter of fact even in the the Hebrew writings he speaks of what he's going to do with these Gentiles and so i don't read and look at it that in that way but i just acknowledge it when it shows up there's a lot of one saved always save stuff here if one save always save is true why does the bible tell us in 1st Corinthians 4 one that in a lot of times some will depart from the faith how can you depart from something you weren't um you weren't in makes no sense okay what what you're doing uh is you're reading into the passage you you you literally read the passage and you miss something important about the passage so let's go to 1st Timothy 4 i want you all to see something but the spirit expressly says or explicitly said in the latter time some will depart away from the faith having uh paying attention to deceitful spirits and doctrines of demons by now here's the question how in the world could that possibly show that they can't lose their salvation or better question why do you think that they are now unsaved what makes you believe that they were ever saved i want you to notice the word that's used here and a lot of times some will depart from and what does your say what is your english version same uh it says the faith matter of fact in the greek it says taste pistil pistils which is the faith paul makes a statement i want to put this on the screen as well let's go to romans not romans first no 2nd Timothy 2nd Timothy 4 i'm not sure where it is let's just throw a throw a number up there let's see uh okay here it is here it is um where is it okay here it is verse six look at this for i am already being poured out as a drink offering and the time of my departure has come i have fought the good fight i have finished the course i have kept there's that word again tape is saying which is the faith is paul saying i've kept believing in this passage is paul saying and the reason why i'm bringing this up is i want you to see it over here in first Timothy uh this is 2nd Timothy so paul is making this statement to Timothy again i have kept the faith whereas over here they have fallen away from the faith they have fallen away from the faith kept the faith and fallen away from the faith you know what paul is not saying paul is not saying that i've kept believing or else there would be no need for the direct for the definite article same thing here paul is not saying they are falling away from believing or having faith they are falling away from the faith what is the word the faith and in this case this is a noun guys and so what is the faith it is a belief it's a trust it's a value it is the it's what we believe it's a report are you with me and so they are falling away they are moving away they are decided to turn away from this set of beliefs this faith they were never part of the faith paul never says we don't find a we don't find a passage where someone was believing we never find that passage where someone was believing and then stop believing we do find a passage where someone is used with the heiress tense of believed uh like in Luke 8 but it's not the hypestuan those who are in a state of believing and so paul says that they will fall away from not from believing or from their faith but from the faith so that is his point there now remember and interestingly enough you need to understand if you think that a person can fall away from actual true salvation they turn away well we need to consult god god you god explain yourself because in Jeremiah 32 you tell us that when the spirit is in us in their hearts that that one you god will never turn away from us and we will never turn away from you how could it possibly be that a person can turn away from god if god says they will never turn away from him now now now we literally have a contradiction we literally see a contradiction isn't hey i'm wearing blue today i'm going to wear blue and then tomorrow i'm wearing yellow a contradiction is is i'm wearing blue and tomorrow i will not wear yellow and then i turn around and wear yellow that's a kind to say to to contradict that's what we have is if 1 Timothy 4 is saying that a person can turn away or can fall away and that means from having believing when god says that they will not turn away now we have a little contradiction okay some more ones say it always say stuff if one saved always saved is true wouldn't the devil still be in heaven the devil was once and and the devils were never no demons ever saved okay guys i want you all to think about this for a second in order to be saved you must need to be saved in order to be saved there necessarily means that there has to be a need to be saved before satan or any other demon had fallen they had no need to be saved from anything so they didn't have what we have are you with me now they're put out they don't have they never have the holy spirit and as matter of fact god does not die for any angel that's not what he came for so it will be in error it would be erroneous to say that the devil had life he did not demons do not have that angels do not have that that it's not they are ministers they are spirits ministering spirits as Hebrew says ministering their spirits they are god didn't christ didn't die on the cross for them so once that person has salvation human beings they don't lose it what is my interpretation of first john two two well let's go to first john two two okay this is where in someone i heard someone someone said i've heard it before cori you don't understand what Calvinism is i've i've had this discussion with people as to why i'm not a Calvinist this is one of the things one of the reasons this passage here this passage here states that and he himself is the perpetuation for our sins and not ours only but also of those of the world so now how do i take this passage i take it i take it as literally as i possibly can as literally as i'm now the problem is some people take this um as doctrinally or as theologically or as confessionally as they possibly can meaning i'm going to read my confession in this because my confession tells me that uh that he died only for the those that are elect no no he didn't no he didn't he died for everybody he may just just like under the old covenant perpetuation was made for all of everybody but it was not effective for everybody i can pay a debt for everyone doesn't mean that the debt is going to be satisfied for everyone in other words because i've paid because you don't accept it doesn't mean that i didn't pay it now the payment is not how you get saved me making a payment for your sins does not mean that your sins have been atoned for how your sins are atoned for is the faith in the payment that i made for everybody and so this passage says it would be it to me this is just to me it would be ridiculous to say that he himself is a perpetuation for our the hour is who the believers these christians for our sins and not only ours the christians only but also for the christians because they'll take that the whole world is referring to um other christians he just he just spoke about us he just spoke about the true believers he made perpetuation perpetuation payment which is what he did this is exactly how it works on the old testament he made payment for everybody not only for us who actually believe the hours who's the hours then he contrasts but also for those of the whole world the entirety of the world that's literally how i take it again i have a literal um a literal grammatical historical hermeneutic and so that's how i that's how i take that okay let me catch up on some more of these i missed out on some of the questions wait a minute what did i just see all right octavius two things thank you for the super chat but is melchizedek got he has no beginning and no end no mother no father he is also the king of sailing which means peace okay couple things and and i'm the reason why i'm not going to give you all that you want because in a few days i'm going to actually i got a video for that that's going to be more thorough than this but i don't want you guys to to do what a lot of people do and that's to read in the things don't read into what is the name of what his name means okay um his name it does mean that but so but Elijah means the lord my god that doesn't mean that Elijah was God are you with me so these names have meaning and typically the names are sometimes and i've heard this before and it could be true that a lot of the names that we have that we see may not actually be their birth names but names that describe how they are what they're doing um for example Caleb the name Caleb means means dog and Caleb was not an actual um uh israelite he is an edomite who comes in and so maybe that's why he has the name dog i don't know maybe his name really is Caleb that's the name of his mother gator which makes you wonder why would you name him Caleb but bad aside i wouldn't read too much into the names but is he god where it says he has no beginning no end no mother it's just saying that we don't know the record of his mother that's all i say that's the enigmatic way of saying so but short answer he's not god i'll give you more about who Melchizedek is one next week okay let me mark a few more of these questions um either might some white people yeah according to the Israelites do we have the right to determine if a person is or isn't born again we don't have the right we can we can we are allowed to make judgments uh we can judge we cannot condemn so what i would say is is if a person is behaving in such a way acting in such a way and we know their heart behind and that's the tricky part getting behind somebody's heart how many of you have ever been told that you feel this way and you don't matter of fact how frustrating is it for someone to tell you what you think your heart and that's not it they're they're totally wrong now they they they think that they're correct but they're totally wrong so it can be different now sometimes you can sit and look and look and look and look you know what the only conclusion i can make is there's something wrong or not right internally with you with your heart and that you don't seem to be behaving born again by the way what's interesting is i brought the question about michael tott that i said that i don't know that he he didn't i don't think that he is he doesn't seem to be born again he doesn't seem to be a Christian at the time that i made i remember seeing a couple of videos like cori might have said this is about mike tott about mike tott you know what i saw what what they're saying now yeah i don't think he's saved now um he just acts a certain way he just acts a certain way it's like what how does after a while after a while and you spent time with the lord there should be something in you that remember john makes his statement what fruits of repentance have you brought because if a person's repentant there's going to be something even if it's the slightest thing now we can always see which is why it's difficult to say if a person needs or isn't okay and it's the last thing that you want to do to ever say you're not you're not saved you're not saved but can a christian ever say that a person uh it's not safe sure you can sure you can matter of fact sometimes there's a need to say so hey brother listen like paul told like peter tells um saw not saw simon you better get right and pray that you be forgiven he makes it he makes a um he makes a declaration someone's to turn my volume up i let me just move a little closer it's my let me check something out here okay is that better i hope i hope that's better i hope it's better uh let's see yeah i hate that i can't get to all these questions let me see i might come back to that question that's that's going to be a lengthy question to answer so i might come back to it wait a second hold on wait a second wait a second you said i just denied scripture the trinity isn't in the bible but we know god but we know god is thrice what but but we know god is thrice what does it mean to be a seed of abraham you need a lesson on hermeneutics okay tell me then tell me sir what does it mean to be a seed of abraham paul literally goes through through detail to tell us the difference there are those who are physical seeds of abraham and then those who are by product by by product of having faith that we are of that lineage that we are of that seed now are we physically a seed of him no and does abraham know who we are no he does not however the same way that his faith saved him and was counting him then we would be sons of his that we were of that of that exact same thing so no what you what your question was was about us being spiritual israel give me the scripture since i needed a hermeneutical lesson hermeneutics actually require us having scriptures to apply hermeneutics to give me the scripture then serve that tells me that we are spiritual israel now you can go have you have to buy four or five bibles use all of them up cut some words out paste together to come up with that because it's not originally in the bible we are not spiritual israel no matter how you squint no matter how you turn no matter how you twist your bible we are not spiritual israel one second let me pull up this passage because my friend says that he did give a passage let's look at the passage there where it says we're spiritual israel well there's a bunch of questions that have been submitted galatians 325 let's see if that's what you're if that's what you're talking about let's see if we're spiritual israel but now that faith has come we are no longer under a tutor for you are all sons of god through faith in christ jesus for all of you who were baptized into christ have closed yourself with christ there's neither jew nor greek there's neither slave nor free there is neither male nor female for you all are one in christ and if you belong to christ then you are abraham's descendants according to the promise how does that make us spiritual israel how does that make us spiritual israel it doesn't and so part of hermeneux means that we don't just read into it part of the sound hermeneux or sound exegesis means that we don't read into it so no all right continue sheila i answered your questions sweetheart um what i did was i i covered um philippians four verses four through four basically the thoughts that we have towards him jackie mccallus is an interesting person bad teaching jackie mccall believes that we have two different gossips jackie mccall who loves paul almost as much as we love jesus jackie mccall believes that um we have a gospel for the jews and a gospel the gentiles two different gossips which is why he's always touting paul over everything else jackie um if you are so convinced then i don't understand i do not understand why you continue to keep coming back i really don't i really don't tell me tell me uh where tell me how so tell me what's wrong please do so all right tip tops basically so you guys are saying that let me let me check something out okay uh let me just pull it a little closer i don't know what the deal is everything should be set the same way i haven't i have not changed anything let me make sure this is fine over here also okay um it everything should be set the same i don't know why your uh your volume is saying that it's low but i'll try i'll try to work um i'll try to see uh listen to it afterwards and see if i can adjust it can a person believe the gospel and not have its power if so what does it look like that looks like what we saw in in luke eight someone who kind of believes temporary they have this head knowledge they understand what jesus did they understand uh what was done um but they have not placed faith in it matter of fact go to your average church and you'll see half the members there that look like that so and let me just say this guys this is this is the problem that i have with this this is us dealing with christians this is us dealing with each other i want you guys to do me a favor i want you guys to do me a favor i want you guys to listen do not type do not type anything in do not type make a comment do not type a question i want you guys do me a favor give me the benefit the common courtesy that this one about to tell you i do not want you guys to type a question in i do not want you to say anything somebody said this is still low i've got to check and see what the deal is someone else says it's low um i want you all to listen to this i want you all to hear exactly what i'm about to tell you so please stop on the on the comments on the question i'll give you guys there's about a five second six second delay i'm not sure uh it's on your on your connection stop stop typing stop typing stop commenting i want you all to hear this please uh christians do a great disservice to the name of christ i'll talk a little bit later on jackie please stop talking i'll talk and i don't want to have to listen we're we're not in kindergarten guys i just asked i made a request i made a request stop now matter of fact just so i can know just one or two people put a one up if you heard me say please stop talking i know it's kind of or stop or stop typing there's a reason why i'm going somewhere i want you to hear this so just put a one up if you heard me say so i'll know okay fine so you all heard me say it so now from now on guys just listen i need you guys to know this for a second i need you all to really know this do you know who is the worst at offending the name of christ do you know who does the greatest disservice to the name of christ do you know who grieves christ the most christians the people who name the name of christ sometimes we can get a lesson from other people on what it's like to be loving what it's like to be respectful sometimes us as christians are some of the most immature people i mean i mean that i i look at how we i disagree with you so you're this so you're that and i've had conversations with people and i and i've chosen not to speak to them a certain way um but there were times you know what i want to go ahead and just destroy you and your argument but there comes a point in time when i need to be loving you need to be loving back you can disagree without being a jerk without disagree you do realize that is part of the fruit of the spirit no it's not if there's not a little spirit of the fruit through the spirit that says uh those that walk in the spirit shall not be jerks but it's actually in telling that you don't have to be a jerk with your responses you don't have to say anything smart alec that's the problem with many of us and it makes you it makes me or others wonder is that person really safe or maybe they have a long way to go someone in the chat disagrees and they and they're all kind of names they're all kind of this and that well one of the key things to determine if a person is actually a believer is him or her being loving how do you know a person is loving by how they show it towards other people one of the easiest ways to do so is just by just typing you don't have to be a jerk you can just not be a jerk that doesn't mean that you aren't a jerk but just by not showing it in your typing goes a long way and us as christians not just on this channel but other channels all over we are some of the worst we can sit and talk about how Jesus died for our sins and then cuss somebody out in the next breath how should it be that the spirit of God is in us and then out of our mouth comes goodness and bad how could that be well the only way that can be is possibly just possibly we're not as safe as we think we are what if i'm wrong what if what i've said is wrong do i get some grace some mercy if i ask you to defend your point and you don't make your point to me whose fault is that my fault be better at making your point the over one majority when when i make a point they tend to agree if they don't then fine i'm not that mean anything maybe the over one majority just just aren't smart either and so i didn't here and see here's the thing no one made anyone come here no one made anyone go to any of these channels so don't come to the channel to be a jerk to show matter of fact again you have a google account start a channel and make your points but don't be don't be rude about it don't be a jerk be loving that's not hard to do that's not hard to do at all and so to make these little uh these little statements you you don't you you don't make yourself look good i can promise you heaven is not is not happy with it how about we stop how about we just act godly even if if you can't listen if you cannot be godly even in your disagreements you know what you are not physically but but but emotionally mentally immature what children do children have no self-control when they're upset they know they let you know they're upset when they're crying they're hurting they let you know that they're upset i'll bring you back after i'm through divine i'll bring you back after i'm through since you say since you don't have to be here uh because what we're going to do is guys i'm we're going to just like uh last night we're going to start enforcing some of this stuff we're going to start enforcing some of this stuff now am i going to be nice to a to a habitual offend someone who is a wolf no no but to you guys okay i'll answer that give me a second i'll answer that i can it's one thing to say hey kori you're wrong it's one i don't have a i do not have a problem with it but then you throw the personal tax and nine times out of ten man no problem but then when i see you doing to other people the standard is and we've said to the moderators go ahead and if a person is being you know rude or belligerent to other people see them out the door if they're being rude or belligerent to me there's no problem i don't i really don't have a problem with now most of the moderators i don't we don't they don't like that either if they don't like it then you're gone why can't we just again i it correct me guys if you have it if you heard me say this before let me know if i've said this before i've said that i will never ever ever treat a believer like a non-believer just a difference i'll never treat a believer like a non-believer now a non-believer who's twisting script now if it's a non-believer who's intentionally twisting scriptures or attacking people then i will treat them accordingly amen now that being stated because it needs to be stated because i don't just see it just here i don't see it just here i see it everywhere am i the only one that sees the venom the vile treatment of each other other places all over so that's my point now listen excuse me you can't hurt my feelings you cannot hurt my feelings there's only a couple people that can that can and have hurt my feelings excuse me my wife can hurt my feelings she's close enough to hurt my feelings the last person that was not my wife or my kids i guess that hurt my feelings the last person the last person where you administer folks the last person to hurt my feelings marquette if you're here you'll know this the last person to hurt my feelings was the judge when the judge said 240 months that hurt my feelings when you call me stupid or a loser or a not-smart christian well that doesn't hurt my feelings i want you to compare the two 20 years of prison and you saying what you're saying am i my older brother my older brother no he can't hurt my feelings either he can't hurt my feelings i try to hurt his feelings sometimes though but that's in good fun but and i think some people try to that's that's the thing though i think some people try to hurt other people's feelings kind of grown person wants to always give insults i'm not saying that insults should never come out that's not what i'm saying or harsh rebukes should never that's not that is not what i'm saying but some of you guys it's the only thing that you a simple disagreement bring that a simple disagreement brings out insults okay fine okay what you'll find out this might not be the channel for you it might not be the channel for you again i now if i i'm not looking for a hundred thousand two hundred thousand five hundred thousand subscribers be great be nice but that's not what i'm looking for if i were i i change i do things differently but i really want us to be an example to each other and the world wouldn't that be cool all right let's go get back to some of these questions a few more questions um where was it at i i saw the question that you that you brought up the bible states drunkers will not enter heaven my mom drinks excessively and gets drunk every single day without exception yes she believes in christ how does that apply to her well one of two things one of two things one she doesn't she's not a believer internally or she is and it's a struggle that god is working his way out there are people that that became believers while they were still struggling and then as people looked at them at that time they no i don't see it i don't i don't see it no that no by all accounts on the outside that person is not saved but then we come back a year later we come back some months later two years later that person's a different person well when did the process start of them kind of shedding that stuff because some people shared sin certain sins or certain addictions quicker than others some people still have not shared profanity some people are shedding it little by little me i don't i don't cuss one of my favorite words is you know you hear me say you know little goofy words like dog on it dang it foot whatever i don't i don't say cuss words are there times where i would like to and so it could be scott that that's what's happening i pray this was happening but if not we keep the word before her and warn her if this is what you believe and this is what you're doing ask her to make that fit ask her to reconcile those things shall we continue in sin that grace may have may have bound well that if you are continuing in sin uh then maybe grace hasn't bounded in you yet is it necessary to learn Hebrew and Greek to understand scriptures learning Hebrew and Greek helps you um a lot i've never met a person that actually knew Hebrew and Greek and would say you know what i don't know why i learned Hebrew and Greek i've never met a person that learned Hebrew and Greek and actually regretted it there i don't think i don't think that person exists because it's a tool that you use it's a it's a free tool that did cost you some time and some study effort and so forth whatever but when you read this everything okay i see what that's saying i see what that means i get it sometimes it does help it does help at times to kind of get a clearer understanding case in point john one one by the way someone told me uh i somebody's just people just either mean or don't pay attention which happens or someone says i can't believe you quarry you you never you you never affirm the deity of christ so you never i just saw a comment and i just sent i sent the lady a link for 20 videos that i've done affirming the deity of christ so you've never affirmed the deity of christ okay okay i thought that i've covered this about jesus being god that is deity i thought i have but maybe the person just misses so i just eat i i afford them a link to that whole playlist dealing with the trinity so but here's a here's an example of where the greek uh oh where am i did i just type something what did i just type in okay all right and have it all all the way highlighted john one there's an example classic classic example classic example wow you guys are really on this loss of salvation i would love for you guys to stick around to whenever we when the debate comes up with me and dr michael brown over this issue we're scheduled i think next sometime next month no what month this is april either next month or the month after anyway put this past on the screen in the beginning was the word the word with god in the word was god how does the greek help here's how the greek helps and our game ain't halaga so in beginning was the word halaga that is a subject that's a noun okay and in this case we know it's a subject why because the rules say the first noun would be the subject unless the noun happens to be implied but it's not implied anywhere so this is the first now kaha lagas ain't prostantheon now here theon which is god is the second now the rules of greek states that the second noun becomes the what's called the predicate nominative the first substantive or noun is the subject this one which is lagas the word tantheon god is the predicate nominative kaha and halaga and god was the word now i read it in the in the greek but you wouldn't say that in in english you would say in english you would say and and the word was god because in greek word or doesn't mean the same as it does in english but you will do so you will move words around in this case to add extra emphasis so now and the word was god the predicate nominative states that it describes the category of class or what the subject is so in this case the word is god tells us what the word is god and the reason for this uh being shifted theos being shifted before lagas in the greek even on the english we'll put it the other way is because because it's shifted there in that clause it gives us emphasis tells emphasis of what the word is that it's god are you with me so that's one of the examples of of greek how it can be used it is it is not necessary to get a good understanding of the bible you don't need greek or hebrew to get a good understanding you don't need it at all to get a good understanding now if you want the best understanding that you can possibly get then i would say get learn hebrew and greek i think pastors i think there shouldn't be a pastor on the planet that doesn't know some hebrew and greek i think that person is derelict in their duty why do i say that because the one thing that you have at your disposal your arsenal is the work you should know the best you can it's almost like being in the old west a gunfighter all you got are guns and bullets you should be the best you can be you should know that gun thoroughly inside now if you go to army you better know your your weapon you better know how to take it apart how to clean it how to fire it how to repair you better know what what what conditions this this weapon fires and what conditions are bad for it you need to know what sand can do to your weapon what water can do are you with me same thing with your bible if you are a pastor best if you're a pastor so is it bad to get tattoos wear earrings makeup uh and for a woman to wear pants well well a couple things first of all are you asking for a woman or for a man if i'm a man first of all the wake the makeup part no if you are a man wearing makeup we need to have a conversation uh is it a sin for women to wear pants no no now she shouldn't wear things pertaining to a man but pants aren't necessarily pertaining to a man depending upon matter of fact there's some cultures where women do wear pants and where men do wear what we call the dress whatever they're not so but is it bad to get a tattoo or earrings wear earrings this is what you need to be thinking of if you're a man or the tattoo part whatever you do do it all to the glory of god whether it be eating or drinking and these are trivial things eating and drinking we don't think about eating and drinking to the glory of god but whatever you do do it to the glory of god in other words to bring him glory to magnify him if you're doing it to magnify yourself well then houston we got a problem we have a problem because now you're trying to make yourself look special or prettier or brand new yourself and so that that that can be an issue now i personally do not like tattoos when i was in prison one of the things they asked you because they want to take a picture they do a lot of they do a lot of stuff to you but while you're naked they're going to take pictures of you and they're going to look and see if you got if you got tattoos why is that to make sure that you are not part of any sort of gang affiliation that you got tattoos for underarms and so forth yeah you got them open your mouth if you got tattoos on the inside of your mouth yeah it's crazy well they saw me like you mean you don't have any tattoos i said no why do i need a tattoo you know okay that's different make sure you don't have any when you leave why would i get one when i leave i like i like the way i came in i want to be the same way when i go out i don't see the need for tattoo you typically don't see i shouldn't say you'd never do you typically don't see people older getting tattoos there are some more and more getting tattoos but then you i think when you think about the wisest most mature person you can think of and ask yourself do you see that person getting a tattoo well i want to show my kids how much i love them so i got my name tattooed on well i can tell you this tattooing their name on your body does not show them how much you love them same thing with your girlfriend your boyfriend who now who now who now getting your boyfriend a girlfriend how did jesus handle insults sometimes he dealt with him back and forth sometimes he's ignored him the majority and i would say uh jackie the 99% of the insults that i get i don't respond back how many how many response videos of someone saying something negative about me have i done not not a lot not a lot how many insults matter of fact in most cases i don't even see a lot of the insults or i see them i don't deal with them now the moderators at times will by the way i see speaking of moderators i see rashaun hey rashaun how you doing buddy oh scott's there was lisa here i was just trying to see i have not been paying attention to my moderator today i'm sorry moderators i apologize i want you to understand something jackie i want you to understand i'm not bothered by you insulting me i'm bothered by you or others insulting each other that's all if you feel like you have to make your point by insulting people to make your point then you didn't make a point because what do they hear now there are something that when you call someone something as a point of fact if i say hey listen you sir are a heretic or a hair or engage in here you are a wolf the point of the wolf is not for the for the sake of the insult this is what you are and for the other people but if i say that you are a not head you are this you are that you're okay there you all understand when someone is is using this derogatory derogatory term because it's necessary or the derogatory term for the sake of just degrading the person without making a point we are all old enough to understand and know what that means how that's like there are sometimes when you say you are a drunk or you're just now calling someone that just speak call them names so um our unicorn is real hadn't seen one let me move back up take a few more questions before we get to find out here by the way let me say this tip tops about dr michael brown he called he says he's a heretic there are people there are people when i say i just saw something when i deal with someone i disagree with them i would say i tried to matter of fact when i when it was isaia when it was marcus rogers when it was pegani when it was these people even mike tot i've given them the benefit of the doubt early on now there's some people you just don't get the benefit of doubt right you all see later on this transgender guy who says he's a christian and then you got the transgender pastor and so forth we don't have to give them the benefit of the doubt we we literally see what it is you don't have to give jeffrey dommer the benefit of doubt when he's eating people or this killer when he's you don't have to give him the benefit of doubt it's pretty clear what they are what they're about it's pretty clear where their heart is are you with me but there's some people you know let me just let me let me think about that now i i say that uh tip tops because i said right because there are people who are let's say for example i told you this story about a one that's been a costal who is just learning he has a passion for the lord uh and maybe his passion was misdirecting what he sees what he feels to him that's right that's perfect and his passion for the lord elite has led him over here but he just hasn't been he hadn't had the had been introduced to sound exegesis now there are some there are some who even after that they're not changing they're not but there's some people that they're going to believe bad doctrine until they die and still go to heaven they're going to you all i believe with all my heart there'll be people in heaven who have bad doctrine who will be in heaven there will be those there will be people who have good doctrine who'll be in hell i hope you all know that as well so he is super intelligent he is but the point is when talking to him is to because maybe he's got a point on something i don't i've been wanting to talk to them for the longest and so now he he's one who will talk with you he's one who will and so and what would it tell you what would rough this up by the way guys someone i won't say what the someone was was speaking about um dr michael brown and so forth and how he's the greatest thing basically since slice bread and um someone put in that person's chat about me i would love to debate michael brown and i said i and then i have to be in the chat i said i would love to i would love to he says be careful what you what you wish for uh he ain't no joke he i think i think he'll eat you up why did you say that why did you say that so now now i want to see him now i want to see him and since he's not looking for uh he likes to have a good healthy dialogue he's not a pastor um he doesn't mind it i don't mind it so anyway there was a question that was put i need to answer this question where was it where is it where is it oh is it drawing attention to your to your flesh or god is it something the holy spirit is leading you to do or your flesh i think you're still speaking about about tattoos and and if that's the case it see it'd be hard for me to imagine someone saying the lord directed me to get this tattoo it'd be hard for me to see hey you prayed about that yeah i prayed about that and lord said get this matter of fact get the one with the with the with the red and and the green and that'd be hard for me to say i don't know but it's be hard for me to to believe that could you recommend an online platform that one can learn uh to read the bible in greek Hebrew the two best that i know that or the i should say i don't know for the two best but these ones that most people tend to recommend and they are pretty good and both are real easy to remember the basics of biblical Hebrew and the basics of biblical greek they have actual book they have the the video lecture courses lecture courses as well i want the basics of biblical Hebrew is by um what is it i have the book over there somewhere by practical van van practical and me's i think i'm saying i might be saying both of by zander van and then the other ones by bill mounts i would probably recommend doing the greek first because the greek is easier when you look at the let me just put on the screen when you when you look at Hebrew uh look at these words these words look nothing like our english words nothing like our english words and you might find one or two Hebrew words that sound like or remind you of an english word but not a lot whereas in the greek there are a lot of cognizant a lot of greek words that are the same in english for example cardio okay we get that uh sent heart okay kosmon well the kosmos or kosmos are you with me so there are a lot of english words because that we draw off of from greek not a lot in Hebrew and even just the even just let's put the greek up there even just the greek words um we have an alpha which we see in in um english which is an a we have a kai i mean a kappa which is the k in english the kusam the i i mean the alpha which is the a the iota which is the i we see the amachron which is the oh so it even looks like in greek it even looks like our english words so i would say start off with greek first and then go to Hebrew Hebrew will frustrate you just go beyond with you Hebrews will frustrate you because like what in the world and then when you try to pronounce the words i don't do well in trying to pronounce a lot of the words because my goal was simply just to learn how to read it and not to speak it but to read it but Hebrew just just pronunciation of it is off did free will start with man or angels is that why satan failed does god give us the ability to make choice i didn't mean to do that don't go on it but does god give us the ability to make choices he does now to what degree and that's the age old argument to what degree does god give us the ability to make these choices how so in what way do we have ultimate free will well i would say this free will is i think we we've got so used to the word free beside will all we need is just the word will which is just simply volition whether you are Calvinistic or non-Calvinistic everybody agrees that there is some sort of volition now we also need to understand that there is something that is influencing or affecting and that's where we get into the issue the arguments to what degree do these outside or internal forces affect our volition well if you're a Christian you know what affects your your volition your will your desire to do things the Holy Spirit however you still have your flesh too don't you which without question affects your volition if you're not a Christian the fact that sin permeates you does that affect your your volition well i don't think that god makes those robots and this is not what i have and i think that's what a lot of people are reporting and so forth well let me ask you this do you think that a person who's been addicted to let's say they were in hospital had a bad accident and now to kind of control the pain they were given morphine they come out in their addicted morphine their morphine is going to control them in some way important fashion a person who's addicted to meth or crack or what have you does that affect them does that control have any effect on their will it absolutely does question do you think sin has an effect just like that meth just like uh morphine has an effect on that person's will it absolutely does what about the Holy Spirit you better say yes now that being the case to what degree does it have ultimate we can fight that out if we want to and we're never going to agree totally on that i believe that we have affected will we have affected will something that's affecting our will whether you're a non-believer or a believer we know that biblically god makes a move john three jesus says that you must be born of a born again born a spirit or born of the spirit get out they know them that is being born from above god didn't do that after you do something he does that first so let me take a couple more questions that i must leave i must leave uh i'm so far but jeremy says to future i'm interested in how he would address it address what okay i got it now i have to go find what future said okay what question are you or jeremy in future what question are you guys talking about i have no idea um oh jerry did jeremy ask a question okay so i can type in jerry's name and let's see what the question is because now i've got to tell people uh jeremy's question is how do you explain the christian's relation to the old testament law without being antinomians antinomian i want to give the actual definition which i guess really doesn't even matter because other people you can give a definition because you don't understand the definition even though but antinomianism is a view which rejects laws or legalism and argues against moral religious or social norms not that even was really a big issue about what you're asking but somebody's gonna ask what is antinomianism now how do you explain the christian's relation to the old testament law what the law does to the jew and then to the believe into the gentile for the jew their forefathers or in the day of the bible they experienced what the law did for them which made them feel utterly helpless we can't do it jesus i can't i can't do it but for us what we have as an example is a pattern um we have the history of mankind in relation with the law trying to do stuff trying to do things finding out we can't well i would say this when we look at when when we look at um us today trying to do stuff we'll find that even now even with the holy spirit in us trying to do stuff we still fail a lot don't we even looking at obviously the jews they failed miserably but paul who is paul spirit in him like most we've never seen or anyone we've ever seen who struggle with doing things and i say the word doing things paul says the good that i want to do i i don't do the bad i want to stop doing i keep doing the doing things keeping things adhering to things and so paul is in good position when he says you folks that are trying to keep the law you gentiles that are trying to keep the law we got a problem and what do we see today we have a lot of gentiles who are trying to go and just i want to be a good christian and keep the law i want to adhere to certain things of law how in the word are you a good christian if you're trying to adhere to the law if you're trying to adhere to what can keep you from being a christian the thing that kept them in bondage the law that's not being a good christian that's not being a christian period we see that i should i i want to keep the Sabbath um i want to be this i want to be that but if you simply love the lord with all your heart and then love your fellow neighbors as much as you love yourself then what will you do everything all the entirety of the law hangs on those on those two commandments no no no i want to do better i want to go back i want to go back and do all the things that they couldn't do why because i'm the man okay i'm sure gonna miss you i'm i'm sure gonna miss you heaven's gonna be a great place and i'm gonna miss you i wish you could join us but because you're trying to keep the law i'm gonna miss you exactly that's exactly what it is you are and if you're trying to keep the law you have been cut off you have fallen away you are you you no longer have the ability to be you cannot be saved madison wants me to ask this question she says how does how how does christian be under the abrahaming covenant aligned with first carinthians 1125 since jesus says this this cup is the new covenant in my blood the old and the new covenant for is the old and the new covenant for jews yes the old covenant new covenant is for jews it doesn't mean that we have we don't partake in any matter of fact paul says that we partake of this now we are the covenant the guys a covenant is a promise it's an agreement it's a binding made between the parties in this case god to israel does that mean that that people that he did not make this binding covenant with will have no effects or no benefits for anyone else and no one else can partake in the benefits not at all as a matter of fact the bible tells us clearly that others will partake in the benefits of it go back there i've got a video that and honestly i love the video it's never going to be a 20 000 100 000 view video never because it's not controversial could be if you looked at it this is understanding the covenants is that what it's called understanding the let me make sure what what this thing is called let me type in smart christians understand the cup smart cut if i don't type covenants covenants okay is that what it's called i forgot yeah understanding or misunderstanding build covenants is the cup the purpose of each covenant and what i do is we cover the very first cup the first named covenant which is the no way to covenant now some folks may say that a dammit covenant that's final i'm not gonna fight you on that even though it's not a name covenant so if um okay uh don't go on it jeremy put me to work hold on is this it hold on ah what i just do come on quarry this is why okay let me go over here and let me fix this i think do i know how to do this no i don't this is you all should see me over trying to be techie you know what i could have did i could have at least put the link in couldn't i could i have not at least put the link in okay hold on let me let me put the link in let me put the link in there it is let's go back over here and i can type the link in i'm getting i'm getting better at this guys there's the link bam there's the link okay so i should have had the mods do it how come the mods didn't do it automatically rashaun i'm kidding i'm kidding i'm kidding but what i cover is how each one of those um the preceding covenant the the following covenant fits nicely and neatly into the preceding cover i mean into the into the previous covenant they're not violated even the new covenant doesn't violate the old covenant i really would like for you guys to go and listen to that and so when we get to these two passages that are brought up one where it says that this is the new covenant this is the blood of the new covenant take eat and drink and then also the covenant i mean the the statement of paul makes where he says that we are ministers of the new covenant how does that work well that's covered remember god does have a covenant a promise for us i believe god does have i need tech support bailey could do it but bailey don't want to do it and so we'll see how exactly how we fit in each one it's not like guys you know what i i had the abrahamic covenant oops i messed up let's do the old let's do the mosaic covenant the old covenant noop i messed up let's do the new cut oops i met no and then what about the davidic covenant no these are thought out and plan these are these are ordained by god and so and so i think watching that i think helps a whole lot clearly the understanding and again i i apply my hermeneutic to it which is a literal grammatically historical hermeneutic if you have one and by the way going for we're going to start talking about you all's hermeneutic and how to apply your hermeneutic to the to the reading of scriptures i want to try to make a practical understanding so that you can see what i'm talking about do read it this way apply your hermeneutic see if your hermeneutic works if your hermeneutic is inconsistent you're going to have some inconsistent readings in your hermeneutic so okay guys i was worn out i was tired i actually even i actually been thought about i even thought about going live again i'm not gonna go live again i'm tired i'm tired who's the person by the way the person that got banned earlier you're unbanned i unbanned you about two minutes after i banned you i just want you just to listen to pay attention so um if you have been banned in the past nine times out of ten wouldn't me times out of ten wouldn't me but if you get banned you probably got banned for a reason uh which bible study would you record oh i'm sorry which study bible would you recommend i don't recommend any particular study bible i would say this though when you have an actual um oh no jeremy i'm not i'm not i'm not gonna cover them for a while i'm not gonna cover them for a while i said i told you guys that i'll be doing a whole lot more just doctrinal stuff teaching stuff um like 99 of what you'll see is going to be just teaching stuff unless someone just does something just ridiculous which is possible but the study bible i don't recommend a particular study bible i would say this though um study bible is good because you can look at other people's commentary have commentary available because it helps us see what other folks see that you may not see and you may think you know what that guy's way off he's a nut job or you know what i didn't quite look at it that way is that possible hmm and you want to give them the benefit of believing that they put some time labored in the scriptures and and they came to this conclusion that even if they're wrong or it could be that you're wrong that's where humility comes in so having different commentary to look at what other people say or think that helps also so now before i leave let me say this again this is something that i'm on i am when i say i'm on this i'm on this i'm not saying jones okay jones jones i'll answer this last question by jones because she said please in proverbs you know what's going to happen though after i answer this question someone will say kory would you please answer my question in proverbs 24 16 was the righteous just man a believer if so did he depart from the faith okay proverbs 20 24 16 let's go proverbs 24 16 this jones better not be a hard question proverbs 24 16 oh for a righteous man falls seven times and rises again but the wicked stumble in times of calamity and your question was was that person a believer if so he departs from the proverb is simple to say that we all fall that we we're gonna fall but now this unrighteous person this wicked person um when when it looks good the wicked person looks good but when it gets now maybe we haven't seen the hot and heavy time yet but when it gets bad he's gonna fall it's it's basically saying it to me it's basically saying the righteous us you're gonna fall don't sweat it don't sweat others who are righteous who fall you'll fall a bunch of times you'll keep falling you're going to keep falling matter of fact if one thing the law teaches you is that you're gonna keep falling matter of fact one thing that you'll find out even as a believer with the spirit of you you're still gonna fall you're still gonna fail you're still gonna make mistakes the wicked though they will stumble wait a second let me make sure something let me make sure something hey wait a second let me i just want to make sure this is the niffel what is this what is this niffel also let me make sure i'm okay okay hold on let me let me do two things that's a good question that is a good question okay i want you all to notice something on the screen let me put it back up here this word for fall the righteous man falls they are basically the same word napal okay or napal if i go to this stumble right here it's it well actually a different word and it's in the niffel in the Hebrew this is even more of a greater fall this is kind of a collapsing this is greater than this fall so this fall and stumble they're actually they're actually two different Hebrew words this is the call the simple just stumbles but this is the actual fall it was funny is i probably would have changed the words uh if it were me given a translation but i'm not a i'm not a Hebrew scholar but i probably would have put the stumble for the righteous man in the fall for the wicked but it it's interesting the stumble here is actually greater for the wicked person than the word that's used for fall and so again another example of when the Hebrew does does help because i saw that i said well let me just at least look at the words as well before i make my statement and so uh he's certainly saying that this wicked person that person's plight is going to be worse than the person who's fallen seven times or stumbled or or had this this issue seven times so all right oh but my point that's relieving is i don't care about you um having to prove a point prove your point try to be as nice as you can as godly as loving as you can about it when you're proving your point and then if it leads you to having this righteous indignation in doing so then fine do so anger can be fine um intensity can be fine don't start off that way don't start off cutting heads off don't start off especially cutting the heads off of your own brothers and sisters that's that's the point and i want to be focused on that even more so going forward um we say mean stuff Calvinists can't be saved Armenians can't be saved ones say it always save is alive from the pit of hell lost salvation it's alive from the pit of hell now somebody might be right somebody might be wrong but what we're doing is we're actually attacking not necessarily the doctrine but we're attacking the people no no no no no we're not going live at five there is a video coming out i want you guys to check the video out you'll be upset when you see the video or there's something in the video that's going to upset you but exactly right line for be angry but sit not all right guys so let me go ahead and go um i've got to go i've got an actual meeting just a little bit love you guys pray for me as i pray for you be blessed enjoy your good friday amen amen
