 Good evening everybody. Hope you all are doing well. I want you to see my buddy right here. My name's sake I don't know what we got on his face, but This is the number one Corey I want to give you guys a quick little update. I am tired and when I say tired I mean extra super tired now by the way by the way by the way He might be easy. He might be the cutest Corey ever This is my name sake, this is Corey. This is Corey Harper He might be the cutest Corey ever And he is something else. He is all boy. He is all tough. He's rough. He likes to jump on people and throw stuff, but anyway I'm worn out. I just Here you come. You come grab now honey. You go get here. Go to your Go go kick rock, baby Anyway, um, I am I am super super super exhausted when I say exhausted Tell you what I've been doing today. I I actually just got out of my Seminary class. What is this? What is going on here? I just got a I got stuff going on that shouldn't be going on. I just got out of my class This class went from eight to five from eight to five I acquired a grant. Yeah eight to five that now that was tiring as it is just go from eight o'clock. And by the way I got to do it again tomorrow Yesterday Soon as we finished, which was the reason why we were going early yesterday at 4 30 set of five Was because I had to start I had to go to that that same class from six to eight 30 which went Well, it wasn't too bad, but after a full day It was tiring Well, what made it even more tiring Last night Yeah, I'm not I'm not exaggerating last night. I Ran I ran after some young some young fella who I really tried. I wanted to catch him and beat him up Why because I'm laying I'm laying in bed and this wasn't very late that night. It wasn't very late probably about I don't know nine Maybe nine maybe ten nine or ten and I looked on the camera And I thought I thought that it was my daughter Hannah going to her car But then I kind of look it wasn't Hannah because Hannah was was in her room someone was was breaking in to my daughter's car and So I ran out of the house and ran after a guy the guy jumped out of the wind He broke the back the back window And then runs as he hears me. Oh, I wanted to get him I want I wanted I wanted to catch him and I wanted to introduce him to the Old Testament It's what I wanted to do. I wanted to introduce him to the Old Testament and I was just gonna have at it But one he was younger to I had on flip-flops, so I wouldn't I wouldn't gonna catch him But I wanted to catch him while he was in that car I wanted to catch him while he was in that car and I was just I was gonna I was gonna evangelize to him I was gonna evangelize. I was gonna help him to understand the wrath of God. I was gonna and I've got a picture of the kid not not not his face a little bit of his face, but his clothes. Oh I was hot. I could not go to bed until until probably 12 or one about 12 or one woke up and then Had to get myself together to get ready for this for this class Somebody asked why was that why are the classes so long this particular class? There's a lot out there or what five they're five books. I'm not very big book There's still five books. I have to read five or six books. No, no, I'm sorry this class there are seven books you have to read and I think there are three or four papers and And This is a there's a lot of videos that you also watch that the His lectures, but then there's also three days of kind of what you call in-person lectures But they're still online So I get to sit there and watch new engage and so forth and you listen to you know to him And so for yesterday it was for two hours for today from eight to five and then tomorrow From eight to three so Why that's where they set it up and I don't have any you know And I remember the date coming up, but I thought that in my mind that The date was actually next week. I was not paying attention to counter although I had marked on my calendar But yeah, yeah, yeah, Justin. It's like a hybrid class it is Because there were there those that were there actually in the classroom with him. So I'm tired. I am I am tired and I didn't get enough sleep because of last night I drove around It's just me and it's a good thing. I didn't find him, but I was driving around looking for my was I was Because he broke into my daughter's car. I was I was angry. I was upset. I was I was hot I was looking for this fellow. I wonder I wouldn't find just just talk to him Just talk to him. Just you know, hey young fellow. Let me talk to you for a second While I'm choking them then squeeze them and hugging them and petting I don't want to pet them a little bit. That's all so Anyway, it's a good thing. I didn't catch him. It is it is a good thing that I didn't catch him either so Bothered me bothered me you said just what do you say? I'm thinking about going to seminary waiting for the Lord to make a way what what seminary are you thinking about Justin? What seminary be where do you live at by the way? And oh by the way I need to I need to respond to him because I saw a message that he said if y'all recall the guy that came on last week As a matter of fact, let me grab this book The guy that came on I think it was last week week before last Dr. Corey Marsh He is a professor at a seminary as well and I think he wrote a book He wrote this book called discovering dispensationalism It is Southern California seminary Things what it's called and most of theirs is online as well. So Where where are you thinking about going though? Justin, where do you where do you live? Are you thinking about going in person doing it online? I Think and by the way, I'm gonna try to see if I can get Oh, you live in you. Oh You think about going to wait a second wait a second. Are you saying you think about going to? Southern California seminary Cool There you go then And so I listen I would go I would go if you're if you're thinking about going to seminary Well, then go to seminary if you think about it then go and I would say this I would say this go and take one class or two classes Kind of get your feet wet and just you know see how it works Seminary is is a Wonder what would it be wise to go to Lee University seminary school or no, don't listen. Let me just say this method No, no, no, don't go to don't go to Lee Don't go to Lee Yeah, Lee Doctorally the not doctoring sale. All right, you're gonna get a lot of experience experiential treat teaching but no no Just me I wouldn't I would not go there But the reason why you would go to I'm gonna see if I can get I bet you I can't See if I can get the president of DTS to come on and maybe some other people to come and just say Tells why a person might want to go so you don't have to go to seminary seminary is not a not a prerequisite or what have you but There's a good reason why you as a matter of fact as a matter I'm actually in one of his classes. This is this is the president of DTS that is Lord, what is his name? He's right. His book is right here. I can read this book too. Where's the book at? Mark Yarborough. Mark Yarborough actually came to preach at our server at our church I don't I wouldn't if he remembers it's been about been about 20 years ago been about 20 years ago and Okay, but anyway, he has a video I'm gonna try to link that video or portion video and he tells a story He tells a story about where he is a youngster and he's going to At a bike store to work at a bike store and they asked him to there's not a bike So, you know, they he said yeah, I know how to put bikes together And so they offered him the opportunity to put bikes together someone comes in buys a bike and then he will you know assemble and The problem is though as is assembling the bikes. He's got all the parts He know he knows what a bike is. He know how he knows how it works He knows how to make it moving so forth But he's never put a put a bike together and as he's got all the pieces they bring the box out Guy asked me have you ever assembled a bike together in and or a 10-speed and he says no He said but basically how how hard could he be and the guy's like well good luck and laughs at him bottom He ends up putting the bike together and thinks he does such a wonderful job because he's got all these pieces left I'm telling his story, but I think it's a pretty cool stories I think it's a pretty good example of what seminary can do And so he puts these bikes together. They they pull an order. He puts the bike together and there's all these pieces and That's just that these like I'm so good at it. I'm not gonna have to use all the pieces well Well As he's doing it He says he gets a call or get brought to the office by the the owner and I guess the moral of the story the bottom line is that you can know how You can know how a bike works or whatever, but it's how the thing goes together And so that's kind of his point. Oh, if I can get him on I can I'll get him and tell his story You you say you already go there. Hey, man. No, I you know what? Maybe you did and I didn't I didn't see it Well, cool. Look at that. Look at that my Enough people that I know have gone on DTS and they've been trying to get me to go forever Trying to get me to go forever. I don't want you but I've decided yeah, I'll go ahead and go and so yeah, I am you're in the DT of DT I'm Let me let me take a break. Let me breathe for a second in the master The THM Program, I can't even speak right now. Wow the master of theology DTS has I think the best masters of theology program because typically a masters at other seminaries is 90 credit hours But a DTS is 120 you're going to get some a good level of Hebrew in Greek And then you also gonna take your your your emphasis What I did though while I was on my federal tour I got the I got the coursework for a lot of the DTS classes as well as Southwestern The logical seminary and I said I'm gonna just do this as much as best I can while I'm here I've got the time I can get some of the textbooks here And so that's what I was doing. So just like learning the Hebrew learning the Greek They use a different Hebrew text then then No, my glasses are not crooked But they use a different Hebrew text. I think they use the same Greek text. I'm not sure but and I may even just actually Do the advanced standing where you just test out of certain classes? I mean, I mean, I know I will I know I will because I don't want to spend that whole time my goal is to speed up the pace So I don't I don't plan on this taking four years. Who knows who knows who knows I might I might Anyway, that been the case, but I also bring this up to say that Tomorrow we're not having Bible study Instead, we're gonna have it on Monday. Now the question is would you guys rather have it Monday during the day? But would you have it rather have it Monday doing the during the afternoon? so Monday at at five o'clock or Monday at 12 o'clock either way is fine for me Either way is fine for me. I do know this though. I do know that tomorrow Masters of theology Josh will ask which program it's a THM masters of theology For me, I've taken classes at Tyndale before Tyndale seminary And then my former pastor was also professor would give us coursework While we were at his church while we're you know pastors at the church associate pastors and so for the church because he wanted Us to know what we're talking about he did not want he did not want to have to get up and to Apologize for what one of the pastors one of the ministers said Someone gets up and says something then he has to come back and says what brother John said or so-and-so said that was incorrect Let me fix that so rather than doing that. I Want you to know what you're talking about and so we would go through the different coursework and actually have to write papers and so that was helpful and then to go through the tendon now Tyndale is different than DTS and some of the coursework and some of the Institutional requirements are different between the two and so why is it a little baby in there crying? I don't know why he's crying She's babysitting while her mother is But the coursework is different now I have not taken I have not taken okay, so we'll go back We'll go at 5 p.m. I have not taken taking classes in this way The last one that I had to go to classes and this and that and so forth like that 30 years ago 30 years ago, I think with that for a second guys think about me 30 years ago. What was happening? 30 dog on years ago 30 years ago, let's see we didn't have What what happened 30 years ago? What was going on? What was going on in the world 30 years ago? Let's see. There was no Google There was a no there was no aol There was no The cowboys. Hey the cowboys had done anything. You know what that was the last time the cowboys had done something. Yeah, I'm sorry We were we were we were all rocking CDs Yeah, who had the best CD player one that wouldn't wouldn't move while you're running Yeah, MC Hammer was was all the rage the brat wasn't gay then so Yeah, different were a different world at that time If you were a boy, you was a boy. If you was a girl, you was a girl was no changing genders None of that stuff So, yeah No, we had cell phones though. As a matter of fact my first the first cell phone that I owned Was in 90 well 95 they had them in 94. Obviously we had you know You had the bricks you had those that were in the cars as well My father being who he was he had he had one in the car. Yeah, I had hair Of course I had hair. I had a listen. I had an awesome haircut by the way He's just if I don't mind saying so myself I'm kidding. I had a basic haircut. I wasn't one that had one of those little styles like that so no no no perm no Nothing none of that stuff none of that goofy stuff. So but so you think about it 30 years ago I'm used to Going to class. I'm used to going and standing in line to register I'm used if I wanted to add or drop going in line all that stuff. So It's just different. It is it is just it's just different and how they communicate with you Okay, this will be funny to you. Do you know I just I just realized the difference between Canvas and and the email I Just used my email for the first time yesterday. I'm thinking canvas and the email are the same But it's not and lo and behold I go back and I've got I've got quite a few emails. So Yeah That's the hard part doing the work is not it's not an issue The issue is how they want you to do it and then the technology But you know, it's a and then the main thing is just time management which by the way You'll notice that I have not put out anything on Patreon in the last few days, but I will I Will I'll do more for the for patreon and for the website and everything This weekend so Yo, you know what I'm gonna find pictures of me with when I was in college with my hair Yeah, I'll I'll find pictures of me Might even find a picture of me in my in my Texas Tech football uniform, so I Got a bunch of I just have just just take a picture of them because that stuff wasn't digital You know, you had pictures matter of fact You have this this little Polaroid not the regular Polaroid it's a little small Polaroids back then they were they were kind of rectangular It was kind of it was all the rage back then so yeah No, I had hair. I don't listen I Was born with hair and Then as I matured and grew and as God blessed me the hair left And so some of you guys if as you grow into a certain level of maturity your hair Let's put except for the ladies for the guys your hair too will leave if you are man and you got hair Yeah, just keep this just keep on praying that God bless you that's all anyway But I want to give you guys that I haven't I haven't really been live that much this week. Have I what two or three times this week and That's right. So I wanted to say hello Hi and And why is he crying? What is going with my baby? Betty he is hold on Hold on. I Don't know was what's what is happening? Let me fix this. Let me fix this. Let me let me multitask. Let me talk to you guys while at the same time There we go Okay But anyway, what I want to do is kind of give you a quick little update on some things Also as it Fingerways no no never had the finger ways never, you know my mother told my mother used to do hair she was a What do you call the people that that she would teach people how to do hair and stuff like that She was a manager of a of a beauty school as well. So It sounds like some but it didn't pay very much at all didn't get paid much at all, but but I thought we thought that if you brush your hair and you had ways that meant something said no the reason Why you're here the reason why you brush your hair And and it turns in the ways because you just air is just nappy. That's why it's just trying to lay down nappy here That's all that's holidays. You put some grease on it make it look pretty Bust my bust my bubble real quick. They can think and I had good hair They got you know thinking I was cute and all that stuff like that. So anyway So But what I want to do is ask you guys this One of the things that I've talked about doing and like we will just want to get you get you guys feedback is to take you guys through Kind of some more not just what I've got from from DTS Just I won't do the classes that I'm doing DTS until after the fact so let's say whatever we're covering I'll bring that out for you guys just so you kind of see the benefit But then also doing more with some other studies some more some seminary studies as Well as some more someone asked about doing studies in in Greek or in Hebrew and putting those over there on On patreon and so if you guys are okay with that then I'll make sure that I will do that as well so Plus some other things that I put over there There's some people that I want to bring on Some more kind of informal or formal whatever some more discussions on different topics Those that might agree or disagree And then we're gonna start covering some of the some of the books of the bible so Cover john or cover romans or cover the book of Ephesians or what have you Jeff said a genuine greek study would be helpful matter of fact. I had a discussion not a discussion but a couple comments Because I'd put one video out about Um This past is john one one. I was talking about the predicate nominative And this is where the greek would be helpful In john one We're trying to figure out what the predicate now predicate nominative is the predicate nominative is what it says it's the nominative but it's the predicate nominative and When you get to clause c you try to figure out what the predicate nominative is and the issue was which one is which How do you know what it is and I said in this case, uh word order, but also uh in To be more technical this because this is a pre pre verbal um Predicate nominative it's it's an atheris and so the one that has the the definite article would indicate it but because we already know Which one is The subject because of word order already here and so I would clarify that In the beginning was the word And and the word here is in If you sit to the right, it's in the nominative It's the first one that we get to so we already know before we get to clause c Or really clause b Which one is the subject both of them are are are going to end up being in the nominative Okay, now right here. This is not in the nominative. This is actually in the accusative um Theos or theon But I'm I'm I'm acquainted with theos because we're going to see theos coming up next and theos is in the nominative And so it and so here we got a nominative in theos and log. That's also nominative. Which one is the Which one is the predicate nominative? Which one is the subject? We've already discovered which one is the subject And so now if they were just sitting by themselves, we would know which one it is But because they're they're not by themselves We are we've already ascertained What the subject is Then we already know because of the first one that showed up here is lagas We already know that that that as we work our way through that theos has to be the predicate nominative so I'm sorry if I'm talking too fast. I apologize. I do I do talk fast from time to time I do talk fast from time to time. So anyway, what I want to do Is give you guys um, because we're not going to do very long. We're not going to go very long at all What is a nominative? In greek there are And it really depends on which how many cases there's an eight case system is a five case system I'll just talk about four cases. Okay, four cases Right now there is the nominative. There is the genitive. There's the accusative and there is the dative Okay, as a matter of fact, I'm in public an example of this where it's very helpful. Let's go to Because there's a very important passage where we need to see which one is the dative or accusative Where are we at? Where are we at? Where are we at? Okay, so Before I go to it to an example the nominative Is is a what's called a substantial a substantive Substantive I hate to say that word substantive. It's basically a noun Now there's there's different nuances to it It can be the subject It may not be the subject Okay, uh, but other now we're talking about nouns So there are different case endings. You can have what's called the genitive which which is kind of possessive The spirit of the lord Okay, so you might see the holy spirit and the word holy hagyu which would be in the um The genitive to tell you that it is of the spirit Also describing what it is When you see genitive, you just think of of just kind of a rough way of putting it you think of of of of Right the son of god. Okay Um matter of fact, here's a here's an example of genitive. Let's go to a features one Uh grace to you peace from god our father And the lord jesus christ here it is right here curiou Jesus Christu now these last the last two letters that you see the amicron uh oops line Not always i'm just giving you an example that lets us know that it's in the genitive Okay, um now that didn't mean that all genitives end in the amicron oops line That's not the case and you've got different types of now as you've got um first declines in second declines in third declines you got um masculine feminine And you also have neuter And so there are different types of genitives or different types of case case endings depending on point at and There's a whole new state as a matter of fact, there are different nuances for each one of the case endings Then you also have dative and accusive in Ephesians one three Middle voice refers to just as what about middle voice middle voice. That's for for verbs. Uh, so Tense mood voice Those refer to verbs Okay, um What I don't know what you're asking uh Trump reason or maybe speaking to someone else, but in Ephesians one three Notice is here Blessings be the father be the god and father of our lord Jesus Christ who has blesses We've had this before with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places first forward just as he chose us in him It is you need to know or it's helpful to know what what is the direct object and what is the indirect object The direct object in this case Uh is hey mas which is in the accusative the accusative is the direct object The indirect object is the dative And a lot of times what what's a giveaway for the dative is you'll see this a little this what's called an eota subscript a little eye underneath and so if we go over here to uh This word out toe If you look at the very bottom of it if y'all see that this is highlighted right now Let me make this a little bigger so y'all can see what I'm talking about This word out toe y'all see that it's highlighted now Let's do it like this. Let's make it in blue as you can see If y'all see right at the very bottom of this omega at the end There's a little mark at the bottom That's an eota Rather than being After the the omega it will just kind of subscript underneath it so We'll go over that it'll be just something real basic in greek The re now i've heard people say it i think they're wrong for them They will say things like that people should not read or use um What do you call those things um Oh lord, what do they get my mind my mind is all over the place i'm looking right at it I can't think of what this thing is called right now um Oh, i'm sorry in a linear If you get an inner linear there are some that'll say you should never use an in linear I think you should use an in linear. Here's the reason why I think you should use an inner linear now By the way, it depends on who's talking to but certain people folks say don't use the inner linear Here's why I think you should because if you've never seen greek before and you don't see the value of it when you start reading these When you start reading and you see the english and then right beside it's an in linear and you see the greek It's kind of like this a little rough way of putting it Something's going to click in your mind to say wait a second something's up here This does not read the same way that the english reads So what's up and it helps to give you a little bit of it provides a little bit of entry And kind of wet your whistle. What's your what's your what's your appetite? And you'll see when you start reading some of these verses how the greek when you you have the greek And then you'll have like the rough english and then you'll have the english Like with the rough reading in the english like wait, I said that didn't that didn't look right But it helps you to see how you would say it and then right below it some inner linings would have the Better english you'd have the rough english the the not the not correct way of writing it or saying it in english Then you'll have the actual correct way and you'll see the difference And so when you see there's like, you know what there's something to it And so you'll hear someone in greek that or in hebrou that will say that when you see it It's kind of the hd versus the black and white or I guess now 4k versus versus black and white it used to be color versus black and white now say hd or 4k versus black and white The black and white is good You can watch a black and white movie or black and white television show and get everything you need to get And it would make perfectly good sense But then you see it in 4k or three days like oh, okay It does illuminate a little bit matter of fact. It also helps to address some of the issues or concerns that some folks might have Honestly, what it does is it answers Or settles some of the debates If you look at If you deal with some of the debate questions, I think I think the issue of eternal security is is settled when it comes to greek I think the issue of eternal security is settled without question when it when it comes to greek the reason why is because you can't get around it even and When we had the conversation with with uh, dr. Brown No matter what dr. Brown said he never dealt dealt with the question But instead referred me to some other supposed greek scholar one was dead one was alive and both of their writings none of them dealt with the text They just dealt with this Presupposition that there was a condition To the text that I was reading But then we go back and look there is no condition there. There's not one in english Nor is there should be one implied this because it's certainly not one in greek in all of john ten Okay or in revelation three And so because there's no condition to what he's calling us the greek is clear I'm and when I say clear, I mean crystal clear. I got you og the greek is crystal clear Just like john 647 when he says that if you believe You have it right now. You have it echo. You have it that person has it life going on. Well Whether you believe a person can believe a day and stop believing fine if you if that's what you think That person that believes at that moment He has what life going on It can't it cannot be any clearer Same thing as as it pertains to election now because Even greek there there's no such thing as an argument Totally being foreclosed because there's always going to be somebody that is going to come back and say yeah, but There's an opening in this network. Okay, fine. There's some people that you cannot convince That water is wet They will they will pontificate and explain away the wetness of water Fine you you stay there But I think I think this this this makes it pretty clear um, what you what you asked you said What do I think about the lsb addition? Uh, I think it's a fine addition. I actually have it. Do I have it on here or do I have it on lagas? I'm not sure which one I have it. It's fine addition I think there's one problem that I do have with the lsb. There's one problem that I do have with lsb Uh and other translators not that I'm a translator. I shouldn't say other translators But translators will have a problem with this They'll have a problem with the fact that There was a limited number of translators involved in the lsb Now again, I think I think it's fine. I really do think it's fine. I don't have a problem with it at all but Typically when you see a translation committee, you're going to see a lot of different people a large number of people From different backgrounds. And so that that way that you could you could never impugn them or accuse them for having read their theology or their doctrine into the greek Because you can go to a greek text or hypertext or any any text and because you already want to see it a certain way Then that's going to be the that that's how you're going to kind of flesh it out But let's say with the with the nasb or the niv You've got people from from various backgrounds who don't have the same theological bent And they'll just you know, they they come to a conclusion They argue what's the best way to say this in english because the problem is there really is no literal translation from hebra to greek there there is none There is no literal translation from hebra to greek So you do the best you can and the problem is The problem isn't even so much with the greek anymore There's a problem with the greek trying to figure out. Okay. What's the best way to put this word? We don't have this word in english or we don't have this this tense In greek, we don't have this. I mean in english or or what have you That's troubling enough as it is that's hard enough as it is and then trying to find make sure that this is the right word You might find a word that has one one usage of it in the new testament Well, then how do you figure out what it is where you got to go to extra biblical sources Where you go and find old greek writings at that time and see what what what what do they think that those meant then But that's as as as hard or as difficult as that could be What could be even more difficult is I don't know what that okay I'm sorry. I'm doing two things at once My other computer is recording me right now. I didn't mean to do that As hard as that can be The hardest part is finding the right english words To correspond with that Because words languages morph over time What we think or how we would say a word in english today We wouldn't say we wouldn't we wouldn't convey the same english message the same way 100 years ago in english or 20 or 30 years ago in english We still speak english from the time that I I was a little boy to the day But we don't say the same words Okay, there was a time where you could say gay and gay did not not refer to your sexuality There was a time where um cool only meant temperature There was a time when bad just meant bad but now bad means good I was as I'm growing up. I was there when bad was changing Or morphing into bad mean also good It's a bad man and but bad became cool and so therefore bad became good Or do y'all remember when ain't when the teachers will say ain't ain't a word now ain't Is literally a word it's in our it's in our english lexicon now So the issue is trying to get it to say what you want it to say What you're trying to convey in english And that's what the translators want to do That's what the bible wants is the bible wants to give you the message wants to give you the meat Now the problem with with languages is language is limited language you want to convey The the the words and you want to convey the meaning you want to convey the words you want to convey the thought I don't care how well you write you can't convey both the word the literal words and the thought especially if you're translating the bible Which is why you have something like the niv the niv is a good translation It's just a thought for thought whereas kjv new king james version esv and esv those are word for word Neither of them Um can fully convey What both could do together If you're listening to me now you can hear the words the literal words i'm using and you can also hear the tone the thought behind it But you can just take the words and take them out of context. I want to just hear the words and um And run with it because they didn't hear the context or the way that I even said it You can say something the same word really really really I said the same word three different ways and three different meanings so That's the problem that you have with with the with the languages Trying to convey them into english the same thing with with many you all may know spanish trying to get a spanish word Into english or an english word into spanish That and always fit neatly does it and so that's the issue with with the greek and so with the with the ls lsb You've got I want to say with six eight nine nine translators from the master seminary. I think they did a fine job Uh, it doesn't deviate at all from any other any Um, but you might what what ends up happening is you can put a word in there and the word Or the use of the word might Correspond with what they think and then you'll ask the translators Those on the niv committee or the the nsb Yeah, I don't like you'll find guys that were literally on the niv translation committee or the nsb And they'll say I don't I don't I think there's a better word. Well, if you think that was a better word But you were on that committee. Why did it say that? Well, because I got out of voted I got out voted and so what's gonna happen is all of us come together and we try to figure out What's the best way of putting it? I think that's a good way of doing it Because it keeps you from from putting your Theological or doctrinal view matter of fact, let me give you let me give you a good example here in the scriptures first Corinthians. Here's here's a this is This makes all the difference and you can't say which one is right This makes all the difference and you're gonna see someone's translation someone's doctrinal view here Their doctrinal view might be right Their way of looking at it might be right, but it might be wrong in first Corinthians chapter 14 Verse two He says for the one who speaks in a tongue does not speak to men but to god for no one understands him But in his spirit He speaks mystery and if you notice italicized in the english is the his y'all see that Let me highlight that Italicized is the his Well, the question is why does the nsb put it as his where other versions might put but in the spirit Because there's some debate as to whether we're speaking of is is he speak is he speaking mysteries in his spirit? Or is he speaking mysteries in the spirit? Grammatically either either works If you ask a greek scholar and he says well, no, I believe it's the in the spirit Well, we don't know This word in the mighty it could be the It could be his spirit There's the you can have one scholar That will say he is another scholar that will say I had a scholar on here a greek a greek scholar Who said that he even though he believed he didn't believe in tongues in his way? He believes it's probably better translated in the spirit Then you got some that believe that the best way to do it so you don't get into an argument Is to put the spirit and leave it up to the interpreter to say is it the spirit his spirit or the spirit the holy spirit We just don't know but if you look at this Somebody can come back a translation committee that has a bent on saying that this is not this is some gibberish or what have you That the person speaking here in verse two is speaking gibberish and paul is admonishing him for that Will then put it in his spirit. Well now i'm making an interpretation on the text And it's very possible that it is the spirit Either I think either way works, but here if it's supposed to be his spirit Then that that that takes the feet out from everybody that believes speaking in tongues Is a language that's like it kind of a whole show about if and they run and they run a verse two in chapter 14 If it is his spirit Then they lose the argument If it's the spirit now, we've got to flesh out some more or you are you all with me so But anyway to answer question the lsb is a is a is a good bible I think what you ought to do though if you guys have and you do have access to other translations lsb esv and asb king james version new king james version I think you ought to compare when you're reading look at them because no one has a perfect English translation. There's there's no such thing. Sorry king james version people No one has a perfect translation And so to see what they say in the lsb if that's your go to and then you also look in the esv And then you also go to the niv I think that's fine I think it's probably preferable to be honest with you. Well, thank you, uh, cecilia. I thank you for the nice words Thank you so much I will give you some receipts on that here chief j. I will I'm gonna find some pictures. I'm gonna find some old pictures of me um Am I coming across anything thus far in the studies? How arrogant would it be if I said not really? not really One of the things that that going to seminary or just really listening to someone else The benefit of it is you will hear either someone else's view Or you get to kind of go behind the curtains and see how they view things You could be right And they could both be right, but they can kind of come to that same Correct conclusions different ways Or they might see something you know what I wasn't thinking about that that that's a very good point That is a very good point. I had not thought about that Because these are also people think about a guy these are also people who are Taking the time to dedicate their life to delving into the scriptures and studying them as well There is a benefit There is a benefit to listening to a Scholar or someone I don't care if you group the scholar or not. There's a benefit to it At least see what they're saying the the main benefit is if you see what they're saying and you disagree It helps you or cause you to go back And look at the text to help you to refute that argument Um intellectually billy what what's seminar? I mean, what's similar? What's seminary Dallas? It was a seminary Uh, it came down between did I want to go back to? Tendale or did I want to go to dts? I said, yeah, I'm gonna I'll go to dts so Uh, let's go back to these questions. By the way, by the way We're doing a a brief q&a guys a brief q&a. So if you got some questions, go ahead. Oh exegy gian 644 Did you ask me before did I already do that before? It doesn't matter. I'll do it again 644 No one Uh, no one can come to me unless the father who sent me Draws him and I will raise him up in the last day I don't I don't I think you everyone would do a disservice if They only looked at 644 This is all part of obviously a bigger discussion And this is why I just I think this is just it just settles it But just the video I did about the the catholic guy that talked about the gift And that no one who who has given a gift Uh, they get that gift permanently you have to do things to maintain that gift Y'all heard that before and you hear that over and over again It's it's incumbent upon the person who who receives the gift to keep the gift Now if you believe in eternal security or one saved always save You might be inclined to disagree with that I believe in terms of career and I don't have to keep the gift And I say you don't have to worry about getting past that argument Go ahead and let them say that It is incumbent upon the person The receiver of the gift to keep the gift There's a gift giver and then there's a gift receiver I'm fine with that also Now they're going to turn around after you give the explanation the rebuttal That's not what I meant. Well, what did you mean? You are confusing yourself If you're going to say that the person receives a gift is the person responsible for keeping the gift, well, then fine That's why I I like that. As a matter of fact, I love that argument. Cool. I'm I am so good with that argument Why am I good with that argument because? Jesus is the recipient of the gift no matter how you want to look at it No matter what no matter how you want to flesh this out the person that is the recipient of the gift is Jesus All that the father gives Gives me Will come to me And the one who comes to me I will certainly not cast out and this is the will verse 39 that The will of him who sent me that all that he has given me I shall lose nothing But raise it up in the last day So who gave who something it was pretty easy Who gave who something the father gave the son something And what he gave them He said himself That I won't lose any and this is the will That I won't lose any So now if you want to speak about who's responsible for keeping the gift Jesus told you how he's going to treat the gift How he's going to treat what's been given to him so So then as we eventually trekk down to verse 44 Jesus answered and said to him do not grumble amongst yourself. No one can come to me unless the father who sent me draws him Now what is he speaking of he just he just got through speaking of those that were given to him And you weren't given to me So no one can come to me unless the father who sent me Draws him and I will raise him in the last day or raise who in the last day The one that was that was drawn the one that was given Now someone are going to say well, this doesn't necessarily mean could could this be bid it could be bid it could be to actually pull Unless the father who sent me is drawing him Well, but however you want to put it the father is doing the drawing and will raise up who who is the father going to raise up This is where the argument of someone who wants to say For example Leighton flowers would say this is not him saying he's physically or he's actually Effectively drawing you We got a problem though with that if this is not got drawing you or pulling you however you want to put it Then there's something goofy about the statement Because Question ladies and gentlemen Jesus says I will raise In the last day I will raise who in the last day In the last day so ladies and gentlemen as we look at the text of john 644 Who will jesus raise in the last day according to verse 44? I'll I'll go back to the screens. I want to see you all's response Who did jesus say he is going to raise in the last day? Just looking at the the text at the verse Put it back on the screen case. I want to see it again He says no one can come to me unless the father who sent me draws him And I will raise him Up on the last day. So who will be the one? That the father that jesus meant and look what he says. Jesus says I will Jesus says I will ladies and gentlemen. This is a future active indicative. So he's stating that he will Raise them in the last day Who is it that jesus will? Raise in the last day. Who does he state? Who does he promise that he will raise in the last day? All that the father had I'm sorry the ones that are drawn Unless the father who who sent me draws him draws So the him that is drawn Is the one that jesus will raise in the last day? So you can't come back and say you can't come back and say You can't come back and say that this is not jesus that he won't necessarily Pull them it makes no sense if he doesn't pull them if he didn't draw I'm sorry. If the drawing isn't him actually pulling them Are you with me? Because if he doesn't actually pull them Then he can't raise them in the last day Are you guys with me? So Alrighty, let me answer this question. Let me let me answer this question. Gregory Bless your heart brother You didn't mention the biggest false preacher mlk divergent walker. He's not afraid to call mlk believe I'm not either but I listen. Let me help you out. Let me help you out people namely, Gregory want me To call out mlk. I don't have a problem calling them. Okay But if you want me to do it so bad, listen, I would my recommendation is if I get to it I get to it if I don't then I don't But you have the freedom and the latitude to make the video yourself So Martin Luther king jr. What was did he have heretical teachings? Absolutely. Absolutely But I wasn't bringing him on here to to talk about mlk you So, sorry, but if that suffices mlk had a lot of heretical teachings I don't know. I don't know why you want me to and folks that folks Hey, you need to cover this do this do this do this video. All right. Well, no I may or may not if I don't then I don't if I do then I do Right. Amen Do you agree that Jesus won't be in human form in heaven since that's He will be in human form The same Jesus the same one as annual says whom you see going up. You coming back the same way Now I think people think that there is a rule Sometimes we We think there's a rule that's not there the rule that states flesh can't be in heaven Does anyone believe that flesh cannot enter heaven? By show of hands who believes that flesh cannot enter heaven Is there a rule that says that flesh now your flesh? can't But flesh that's not sinful can There's nothing there's nothing wrong. There's nothing wrong or bad about Jesus's flesh So him And by the way, you're gonna get a glorified body You're gonna have a glorified body. So guess what now you're a sinful flesh. No, I can't So sometimes we try to ascribe certain rules that we come up with and think that's wet. No, that's not the case It's not the case. So And let me say this. I don't I know this what what what it's not what you were saying Alexander, but it made me think of something else sometimes people make statements And run with it because it gets kind of passed around a lot like you hear someone say that God can do what he wants If he can use a donkey, he can use whoever Right, he can do whatever and that's true. God can do whatever he wants if he can use whomever he wants But will he use or do whatever he wants? That's the question ladies and gentlemen, here's my question to you guys Will God do Everything or anything that we think he can do Everything that he can do he won't do. I want you guys to get that Everything that God can do He won't do We think That if someone else could do it or see it happening Then God can do who are you to put God in the box? We don't we can't put God in the box Who are you to limit God? We can't But here's the question Can God limit himself? It's a question Can God limit himself? That sounds interesting way of putting it interesting question Can God limit himself? There's an obvious answer and I think some people miss this God can limit himself as a matter of fact God Has limited himself Can I can I can y'all think of an example of God limiting himself? Can anyone can y'all think of a An example of God limiting himself a matter of fact pretty early on in the bible Pretty early on in the bible. I can think of one example of God limit. There you go There you go. Look at the rainbow. What did he say? I won't destroy the world with with water again. Could he? Could he destroy the world with water again? Yeah, he could Well, you can't say what God won't do. I'm not saying what God won't do I'm saying what God said he won't do so if God says he won't do this Well, then I can't come back and or I have the right to come back and say that God won't do that If God has stated that he won't do that then I have the right to say according to scripture. He won't do that You see this a lot of times as it relates to to women being pastors. You can't say who God won't use. No, I can't say it But he can't he did and so therefore I parrot what he says right so All righty, let's do some more Does Matthew 28 19 have a different ending? Well, let's go and look and see Mike Taylor I would have to go to you said a different So now what I have to do So now what I have to do Let me go to where is it? I got I got a pope a different greek text With my critical apparatus. Where is it? Where are you? You're hiding in here somewhere. Let me find it There it is And you said does Matthew 28 19 to 2019 Does it have a different ending? No Well, wait a second Hold up. I spoke too soon Well, there's a there's a variant error. Hold on. Let's see what else we got Okay, let's put on the screen There's a couple variants here, but it didn't have a different a different ending Uh, the variant here. Here's one variant where it says, um Then versus now Doesn't change anything though. So some some text might say now some say, uh Then or therefore Then we've got different, um Yeah, baptizing is just the the spelling is different But there's no there's no textual. There's no No, there's no Okay, wait a second. Here's one. Oh, let's go There is there is one that says Um, even as I've been sent as the father sent me and I am sending you If y'all can see the very let me if y'all can see the very bottom of this If y'all can see the very bottom of this it says capos, uh apostolin may ha patera cago a pasta apostolo humas And what that says is and I As I as I was sent or even as I As I to be sent or sent me the father and I Send you So that's it. So By what that was my little my little rough way of uh reading it, but that's the only that that doesn't change anything That doesn't change the thing. What do I think about jeffrey jeffrey johnson? Um, I don't think much about jeffrey johnson. Although he is from my hometown in anapolis um What is eastern star baptist church on the east side? Churches are growing underneath him, but I'm not I'm not a big fan of his I'm not a big fan of his at all So Uh, all right, let's let's take a few more questions And then I've got uh Do some some serious resting Here's a new word a word that's uh that has changed Since my youth I think my youth brought it in chilling. I gotta do some chilling tonight. I'm tired I'm tired. I'm wore out Someone asked me though did I um How active am I in the in the class? I'm as quiet as a church mouse although I did I I did go to speaking um more towards you but I know that if I go to talking I might not I might not stop So I just sit and listen um Counting the seconds on the clock With this class hurry up and in this is systematic the the class that I was in today was uh layman Was a systematic theology What do you what do you mean jeff? I'm not I'm not sure if I if I catch your meaning like how genesis chapter two and three are Or two three are expanding a reiteration of chapter one. Is it fair to say revelation is similar? um As that is how Hebrew literature You mean the book revelation or just revelation in general Um when god as god speaks through his word He is going to reiterate things over and over again in different ways And as you notice the more that we move through the book the the clearer a lot of this revelation gets The clear it becomes he he doesn't he doesn't Fully give us everything that he's saying up front Kind of wish you would But he doesn't I can't I can't tell god, you know, hey you should do this way um for um For the very reason I might got I can't tell god like I would you know what god I wish you would have I wish you would have done that. I wish you would have done it this way. I wish would have said this way However, he says it is the way he determined that he wanted to say it But he used the term second class citizens when referring to gifts when the bible expressly teaches that not all have the same gifts I don't know. I don't use second I use the term second class citizens to say that nobody is a second class citizen I'm not no. I don't say that. I don't call anyone a second class citizen Now if someone were to say that for example If someone were to say that we all should And they take tongues to being that there's a there's a gift of tongues And then there's a pray praying in tongues and those two are two different things Which by the way, the bible does not say that is that is that's a fabrication But if that's the case if the case is that there is a prayer language And I don't pray in tongues, but everyone else does who has a spirit But then what does that make me that literally does make if if if praying in tongues edifies me If we take that to mean that praying in tongues is to edify me And I don't pray in tongues Then I don't get to edify. I don't get edified in that in that way, right? I don't get edified in that way But this person does And because this person does And I don't or this person doesn't that person but these five over here do They become almost second class because they have access They have access to something that everyone else doesn't have Or they're utilized and they have that that that getting that ability Now someone come back and say well, wait a second. The reason why you don't is because you don't want to Well, no remember Um This ability is by the spirit that's him doing so so That's what I mean, but I I don't call anyone a second class citizen as a matter of fact I reject anyone making someone else to be a second class citizen And I think that often matter of fact not often Let's just let's cut to the chase. Let's be honest In the charismatic churches and I've been I've been in there And I've dealt with them and been around them That's what it is In the charismatic church You've got those that are exercising gifts And those that are not Well, what's the more preferred way to do things to exercise gifts? To to to speak in tongues To fall out to be slain in the spirit to catch the holy ghost to run around all those different things In the charismatic church, that is viewed as someone who is experiencing the holy spirit That is someone who is Serenity to the holy spirit that is someone who has gone to Higher heights and greater depths in the holy spirit Right and no one can can deny that that's what's taught. That's how I preach. That's how it's understood in the charismatic church But then you got those who don't exhibit those same things You got those folks that are at that church who don't exhibit those same gifts or those same manifestations How do they feel How do they come across as now and by the way and I The the the greater issue is is what paul brings up because because people are not paying attention to what The scriptures say and what paul is saying paul is bringing up the point That you've got all of these folks in the body and various gifts But you've got people that are clamoring for what they think are the more honorable gifts You got people that are clamoring for gifts that they think are the best Well, what gifts ladies and gentlemen, do we think are the best gifts or not we but what gifts by and large Do most charismatics Believe are the better gifts or at least act that way which gifts do you see more folks trying to operate in? tongues prophecy healings Right the laying on of hands and so forth receiving revelation so they naturally think or or Demonstrate or say to us that Those are the better gifts well What does paul say what is paul talking about paul is literally and it's the problem that Most charismatics have they go they they gloss over what paul is saying They missed the whole point of what paul is saying paul starts out his whole conversation about spiritual gifts or not spiritual gifts The pneumatico and the spiritual things things of the spirit Which naturally include however he moves in a person paul is literally talking about How you should avoid certain things that one that these giftings are for the common good of everyone else And not to desire what you think are the more honorable gifts the greater gifts Before we get to tongues and prophecy. He's talking about it in chapter 12 By the way, he said that you guys not you guys but those folks are doing things ignorantly you're doing things ignorantly And he says there's there's no one gift that's above any other gift. So stop desiring those gifts Because as he says in verse 10 It's the holy spirit that gives as he wills The holy spirit is the one that gives so a person speaks in tongues or what have you whatever you whatever you think the pneumatico is That's not you You can desire and want all you want. It's the spirit that does that not you but the spirit Are you guys with me? So it's never so if I don't Pray in tongues speak in tongues. I don't fall out if I don't this or that That's not on me. That's on the lord. That's the holy spirit If I'm saved that's why paul says all of us all of us have been baptized into one Body and by one spirit all been made a drink of that one spirit So all of us have it. So if that's the case then well, then guess what? He I'm sorry, then he goes on to tell us matter of fact. Let's put let me go to the on the screen so I don't say it incorrectly For even as the body is one yet as many members and all the members of the body Though they are many our one body. So also is christ We're by one spirit We were all baptized in the one body with a jew or greek where the slaves are free and where and we were all made A drink of one spirit for the body is not one but he says If the foot says Because I'm not a hand I am not a part of the body Now, I obviously we know where he's going if a person that Um Has the gift of health And says well because I don't have to get the tongues. I'm not I'm not all that important. This is point Uh, and if the ear says because I'm not an eye I am not part of the body It is not for this reason any the less a part of the body if the whole body were an eye Where would the hearing be if the whole word hearing where would the sense of smell be? But now god has placed god who has god god has Placed members each one of them in the body Just as he desired If they were all one member where would the body be? But now there are many members but one body and the eye cannot say to the hand I have no need of you or again the head of the feet. We do that. We treat folks that way 22 on the contrary It is much truer that the members of the body which seem to be weaker are necessary And those members of the body which we deem less honorable on these we will stole more abundant honor And our less presentable members become much more presentable Whereas our more presentable bodies have no need of it But god has so compromised. I'm sorry compose the body Giving more abundant honor to that member which lacked So that there may be no division in the body but that the members may have the same care for one another and if one member suffers If one member suffers with it, if one member is honored all the members rejoice with it Now you are christ body And individually members of it and god has appointed in the church first So he goes on to what everyone can do And they're different gifts the problem that we have is that too many people Make out certain gifts certain giftings to be the more preferred more honorable gifts And the reason why I say none of us should be considered second-class citizens in the body If we say that the holy spirit has shown up more in these people than other people then what are they? You've got less of the holy spirit than I have you have less of the move of the spirit than I have And we do that I've seen over and over again to where certain people in the in the church in the building the actual building Starts saying to themselves or wondering what's wrong with me That's why we that's why we even had Tearing services where you would go and just tear for the holy spirit Wow, what are they tearing for to get what other folks say they got To get tongues to get whatever gifting that they have I want to get that Well, is that is is tearing for the spirit is that biblical? No, it's not That it no, it's not but we have that so All right, ladies and gentlemen, let me take one last question and then I have got to move on I've got to I've got to go ahead and do some things Like namely rest. Okay, let me see. What does that say? Where'd it go? Okay, okay Well, let me put the put it back on the screen Grave digger asked this question Acts 432 does this still operate in churches? Well, as we read this passage, we're gonna see it should operate It should I'm sorry There it should operate, but it not like it should let's go to it And the congregation of those who believe were of one heart and soul and not one of them claimed that anything belonging to him Was his own but all things were common property there And with great power the apostles were giving testimony to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus And the abundant grace that was upon them all for there was not a needy person among them For all who were owners of land or houses would sell them and bring the proceeds of sales And they and lay them at the apostle's beat and they would be distributed to each as any had need Does that still happen Not to that degree Should it still happen? I would even say If we say should it still happen? I would even say not to that degree Because we're not called this is not a command by the way Notice what it says This is not a command for everyone to sell Their property This is just what they were doing at that time They would sell their property and they would all and they would all kind of bring it together So everyone would have everything and there wouldn't be anyone who who had need who lacked Are we commanded to go and sell our houses now sell our sell our cars and so forth? Matter of fact, if you guys got together and sold all your possessions Sold your houses sold your cars and so forth We put it all together and we had it in common First of all, we're going to we're going to look like a cult We're setting up a commune and we're going to set it up. We're going to have everything in common The problem where this is right right for For problems is Whose feet do you sell all your goods and so forth? Who is responsible for keeping all of these all of these goods for keeping the money? Well, then it was the it was the apostles We trust the apostles But what if is bob here bob bob is the pastor bob or joan bob and frank We're gonna trust him with our houses our car the money the proceeds from selling our houses and cars and so forth and Probably not And again the the main the main thing the more important thing is it's not a commander This is just explaining what they did It'd be nice if we could do that it'd be nice But the essence of this the heart of this should be in place that we should not have people in the body Lacking I don't mean lacking that where he this family over here has netflix and they can't afford netflix We're not talking about that but there shouldn't be people in the body who Can't eat Who are now If they have financial issues and they're not managing their money properly Well, we should all get together and and give that person something and help that person to help manage and budget their finances But if they get their money and they go and buy they go and buy any and everything And they're broke at the end of the month and they need him from the church After a while hey listen We got a problem if you don't want to act we ask you don't want to listen to sound budgeting council Then fine then you keep on being at a deficit at the end of the month But if if if you're trying Then we'll help you And so it should be that we've got all these folks with money and we got all these folks who don't have money The people that don't have they should be able to the church should be able to help and should help That's the whole point That's the point one of the things you don't see one of the things you don't see with With a lot of these churches that have talked about ties and offerings And they'll quote malachi. Well, I should be able to go to this doorhouse and get something if you're gonna quote malachi Then I should be able to go there and get something But that they use the house working either so the best way it should work.
