 Then sings my soul, my same to thee, O great Thou and sings my soul, my same. Good morning, good afternoon, good evening. Hope you all are doing well. You are kind. Hold on. He says you're expecting a review. Let me fix something real quick. Chess Champ is expecting a review. No Chess Champ, there will not be a review. Chess Champ has wanted me to watch this movie forever and come to find out after watching the movie, after I put it on, about a few minutes into the movie, I recall, this movie looks very familiar. I didn't, I didn't remember the name of the movie. This was the movie. What was the name, the remaining? And I hadn't seen it before. I didn't realize I'd seen it before. My wife had never seen it, so we watched it again. So the movie was fine, Chess Champ. It was fine. Obviously, the movie wasn't biblically correct, but that was fine. I mean, I wasn't looking for a biblically accurate movie. Matter of fact, maybe one day I'll look at the, what's the movie everyone's talking about? The Chosen. I'm not necessarily looking for a biblically accurate movie. When I watch something all the time, I like to be as close to the text as possible, but sometimes that doesn't happen. Hold on. Let me, let me take care of something really, really quickly as well. Let's see. Okay. Hold on one second, guys. I'm doing, I'm doing a couple of things at once. What is, I'm sorry, guys. Y'all, y'all pardon me. I'm sorry. I'm trying to do a couple of things at once. That's that. All right. So that being the case, let me go ahead and jump into the questions. I've only, I've only taken two questions that were previously submitted. Those questions, I couldn't go back and find them for one, two, because YouTube for some reason removes those. But let me go ahead and while I'm doing so, let me, let me pause the chats for a second so I can cover. Guys, I would say if you, if you are just now putting in your questions, I would wait until I'm finished with these two questions. Won't be, won't be too long. That way I can see your questions. I don't have to go back and, and look for them. I'm marking a couple of them right now. Yeah. So if you can't go ahead and, and wait until I, I finish or just resubmit them again and then we will, we'll cover them. All right. So the first question comes from SJ0044. Hard name to remember. The question is asked is, how do you explain that Matthew 275 and Acts 118 are the same account of Judas' death? So let's go to Matthew 27. Well, you know what? Let's go to, let's first go to, to Acts 118. Let's go there first. So let's put on the screen. Acts 118. And you will notice there is a difference in, a little bit difference in the account, but it's not a contradiction. This is speaking of Judas for he was counted among us and received his share in this ministry. Now, this man acquired a field with the price of his wickedness and falling headlong, he burst open in the middle of all, and all of his intestines gushed out. And so the account is that he bought the field with his money. That's one issue. The second issue is that falling headlong, he burst open. In other words, his insides came out. His intestines gushed out. That does seem to be a little bit different than what we see in Matthew 27. So let's go there first and just start in verse, verse three, let's start in verse three. Then when Judas, who had betrayed him, saw that he had been condemned, he felt remorse and returned the 30 pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders. Well, how does he buy the, the field if he does so? Well, here's how he doesn't actually buy them. He says, I have sinned by betraying innocent blood, but they said, what is that to us? We don't care what you've done. See to that yourself. And he threw the pieces of silver into the temple sanctuary and departed and he went away and hanged himself. Wait a second. Thought you, I thought he fell over headlong and and his innards burst out. Well, we'll get to that in a second. The chief priests took the pieces of silver and said, it is not lawful to put them into the temple treasury since it is the price of blood. And they conferred together and with the money, bought the potter's field as a burial place for strangers. For this reason, that field has been called the fill of blood to this day. Then that which was spoken through Jeremiah, the prophet was a field and they took 30 pieces of silver at the price of the one whose price had been set on the sons of Israel and they gave them for the potter's field as the Lord directed me. So we have a full understanding of what's happening. And by the way, this was prophesied. And like I said before, anytime that you see a prophecy, something that comes from the word of the Lord, I don't care how someone feels about understanding if the prophet is fully convinced about it. If it's from God, it's from God irrespective of how people feel. Same thing with Isaiah, I'm sorry, with Jeremiah. But what happened was now we have to wait a few hundred years for this prophecy to be fulfilled, but it's fulfilled to a T, hung between two thieves and that he was betrayed for 30 pieces of silver. Now the question is two-fold. One, how did he pay for it? Well, he didn't pay for it. They purchased it. And that's where he was. They purchased the land that he actually died at and other people ended up being buried there as well. Now, the other question is how did he die? Did he die? Was he was his death as a result of being hung or was it as a result of falling headlong? Well, the story is that he hung himself and then afterwards falling from the branch or falling from being hung fell over off a cliff or off a hill or what have you, and then fell headlong and then he burst open. So I don't think there's really any sort of big mysterious way to kind of put these two together. That's just kind of how that went. And so that is the story of Judas, who by the way, again, was not a Christian. The second question is, and I think I saw where, where is it? Okay, here it is. Spider monkey actually put it up again. Spider monkey asked the question, says which of the two were wrong when it came to John Mark before they went their separate ways, Paul or Barnabas? Now that's a good question. Clearly, Paul was the one who was wrong. Now, I've said this before and for some reason others got bothered because I said Paul was wrong. Well, question is Paul perfect? Was Paul Jesus? No, it was not. Does Paul sin? Did Paul sin? Paul himself admitted to that. Paul had pride. Paul admitted to that. Paul, matter of fact, what does he do with his pride? So much so is his pride an issue. One, the Bible says that a thorn was given to him. Why does Paul say so so that he would not exalt himself? And Paul mentions about him having this little bit of pride. And rather than boasting about himself, what does he say? He'll boast about his infirmities and boast of the Lord. Now let's go to Acts 1536 and let's see what the case is. After some days, Paul said to Barnabas, let us return and visit the brethren in every city in which we proclaim the word of the Lord and see how they are. Barnabas wanted to take John, called Mark, along with them also, but Paul kept insisting that they should not take him along, who had deserted them in Pamphylia and had not gone with them to the work. And there occurred such a sharp disagreement. A sharp disagreement that they separated from one another and Barnabas took Mark with him and sailed away to Cyprus. And Paul showed silence and left being committed by the brethren to the grace of the Lord. And he was traveling through Syria. So let's see how I strengthen the churches now. Here's the issue. Being wrong doesn't necessarily mean or equate to sin. So let me just say that. Did Paul sin in this regard? No, Paul didn't sin in this regard. I don't think so. But was Paul wrong? Well, if there's a disagreement, one of three things could be the case. This person's right, that person's wrong, or that person's right, that person's wrong, or both are wrong. But both can be right. So in this case, there was a disagreement. And in this case, it just happened to be that Paul was wrong about John Mark. Paul misjudged John Mark. The Bible doesn't say that the Lord told Paul to do this, or that Barnabas, no, there was a disagreement on John Mark. Now, how do we know that John Mark or that Paul was wrong? Well, what does Paul do towards the end? The very end on his death bed. Let's go to 2 Timothy, chapter 4. I think let's start in 11. In 11, he speaks about who has left him, who's no longer with him. And remember, that's an issue. Paul has an issue with people who leave him. He says he speaks about demons. He speaks about tyrants. He speaks about creasants. Look what he says. Only Luke is with me. Verse 11, pick up Mark, this is John Mark, and bring him with you, for he is useful to me for service. So he comes to realize, obviously, just like we also do too, that Mark is different than what he was as he did not help or he kind of abandoned them previously. We know that John Mark was useful because we literally have a gospel named after him. We have the gospel according to Mark, the very same person. This is the cousin of Barnabas. So is that to say that Paul was wrong? Sure. But is it also to say that Paul sinned? No, Paul didn't sin, but he was just wrong. His assessment of Mark was clearly wrong. Amen. And by the way, it's okay to be wrong. It is okay to be wrong. So let's say, now let's go ahead and let me start marking some of these questions. Okay, you all give me a second. Give me a second and I will start answering some of your questions. By the way, I want to also alert you, I was watching the video. I thought it was a good video, a good discussion between John Clash and Sam Storms on Bible Dingers. That was a very good discussion. It did affirm some thoughts that we had stated before. And so much so that probably on next week sometime we'll actually do a review of the debate and do a review of what was said. Because I think what was said, particularly by Sam Storms is pretty telling. A few more questions to Mark and then we'll go ahead and start to answer that one. Okay. Alrighty, so let's go ahead and start dealing with some of the questions. I'm sorry, I put the wrong thing up. Oh, let me mark this question as well, too. Because I think I saw that in the intro. Okay. Oh, I'm sorry, guys. Okay. Can you explain, I'm sorry, Stevie's puts, can you explain the difference between Romans 81 in the King James version and the other translation? I think I already know what you're talking about, where it says there's no condemnation of those and then there's a little thing that's added to it Romans 81. And so let me do this. Let me also add, let me go ahead and pull up before I put on the screen. Let me go ahead and pull up the King James version. Where is it? I probably ought to just keep the King James version after ready. Since there's always an issue or conversation about the two, let me move the Greek over. And so let's put them both on the screen. There is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, but then the King James versus there is therefore now no condemnation to which are in Christ Jesus who walked on after the flesh, but after the spirit. The issue is that in the original or the earliest manuscripts, we don't see that. That's the reason why. And so what you're going to see a lot of times is you're going to see different translations that may have something added or something like that. Like we see here, there are times and it's not just a King James version with other translations that have the same thing, the same issues where you might see a scribe and it's not the translation themselves, it's the manuscripts that we're using, the manuscripts, the codices, the paparazzi that we use or that they use, I can say that we use that they use. And sometimes you might have something that is where a scribe writes something on it. And sometimes we don't even know if the manuscripts that we are reading from, if they were ever meant to be used for public consumption, they might have been something private. We have, because the writing, the notation did not always say that. Sometimes a scribe writes something or someone else writes it and it's for their own reading that happens. Or there might be something where there's an error in the translation as they're writing these things down. You would even have what's called these scriptoriums where they would sit and they would write something down and sometimes they're errors. Well, what do you do if you are copying because you'll hear this term from time to time called copyist errors? What do you do if a copyist makes an error or a scribe makes an error? What should the scribe do? Well, what the scribe is going to do or should do, there's three things that are going to happen. It might be just buried, tossed out somewhere. It might be burned or it might be banished, so the three B's banished, when we say banished, banished to the schools. Why? Because they didn't have textbooks. They couldn't go to one of these textbook writers and go and get books about how to read. And so, where's a good place to go to? Where someone makes an error in a copy of something, not necessarily just the copies of the Bible, the manuscript, but anything. It gives something where people can practice on reading and studying. But what happens if we come back a hundred years later, a thousand years later and we find a manuscript that was never in actual public circulation, that was never used for the public, it had errors, it was either burned and we find manuscripts that were burned or they were buried. We find it. We have no ideas, just like you do a rough draft, you throw it in the trash. Someone comes back a thousand years later and says, hey, look what they were talking about then. But it said, I must stake. And so sometimes we don't always know the origination or the genesis of some of these manuscripts. And so because of that, we do the best that we can and so we compare all of them together as best we can. I think the better approach would be to the critical text, not the majority text, or the received text, but the critical text where you kind of look at all of them and then just there's a, and I don't want to kind of go too far into them. I'm wanting to get someone on here that is going to do a little bit better job, but the critical text does a more job of just kind of looking at them and giving a certain assessment to certain manuscripts, certain families of manuscripts, whether this is from the Byzantine side and so forth. Some have a genesis in following another particular manuscript, and the critical text kind of looks at that. So the point is, I don't reject any of the text, majority text, and all the majority text is, the majority text is, let me say that someone's asking the majority text, the majority text is, let's say I've got, how do I do this? There are 10 different manuscripts, okay, just follow them for a second, 10 different manuscripts, and this manuscript, to the manuscript one, there are a thousand copies of it. They've been made a thousand copies, the manuscript one is also a little bit later. So let's say that manuscript showed up, was first copied, I don't know in 1100 AD. Manuscript 10 was copied, was first copied, I don't know 200 AD. Let's say there's one copy of it, but then we've got 10,000 copies or a thousand copies off of manuscript number one, one copy or one, yeah one copy from manuscript 10. What if manuscript 10 is the better copy? But manuscript one, there's just more of that one. Well, then what do you do? The majority text says, well, there's more of this one, so that one, the bigger number wins versus that one, that's not necessarily a good way because what if you have more of, more faulty translations, more faulty copies, and so that's the reason why. I think you take a look at all of them, oh by the way, by the way, let me just say this also, where they'd be the majority text, here's a good part about this though, where they'd be looking at the majority text, the received text, which is where you get the King James version and the new King James version. By the way, you guys that have a problem with the new King James version, but you love the King James version, that's weird because it's literally the same, it's the same thing, it's just given to you in the way that you actually talk and then you have the critical text. When you compare all three of them, you're not going to see very much of a difference. You don't see any difference, especially as it affects how the text reads or doctrine. That's that for your particular question, Steve, but that's the question. The extra part, who walks not after the flesh, that was not part of the, as far as we can tell, the original writing. Because what we don't have, we don't have the originals, all we have are copies. Amen. Venus Smith asked a question, were there 12 or 120 in the upper room in X? Well, the answer to that question, Venus, is it is 12, not 120. What has happened is we've gotten so used to, sometimes we'll say something, and we just, we just run with it. We just run with it because someone says, we never really go to investigate. Well, in Genesis, I'm Genesis, in Acts, let's go to Acts 1. We'll be pretty quick about it. Let's see. Yeah, let's start in Acts 1, verse 12. Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, Sabbath State journey. When they had entered the city, they went to the upper room where they were staying. That is Peter and John and James and Andrew and Philip and Thomas and Bartholomew and Matthew, James, the son of Alphaeus and Simon the zealot and Judas, the son of James. These were all with one mind. We're continually voting themselves to prayer, along with the women and Mary, the mother of Jesus, with his brothers. Let's stop it for a second. Let's go ahead and let's just number this real quick. You've got one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10, 11, and then we're going to get one more that's going to be added, right? So we have 12 people. Then it says verse 14. Notice what it says. Verse 14, these all with one mind were continually voting themselves to prayer, along with the women. So notice what it's not saying. It's not saying that the women were also in the upper room, but they were continuing themselves with prayer along with the women and Mary, the mother of Jesus, and with his brothers. So his brothers were there also, but not necessarily in the upper room. Then verse 15. At this time, so at this time, guys, matter of fact, let's move this over from the King James version. And let me put the Greek back on because I want you to see this. Let's switch spots. At this time, Kai and Thais himeras, Thais, which is in those days at that time. So not a specific date. It's not referring to a specific date or specific time, but in that time, around that time, Peter stood up in the midst of the brethren. A gathering of about 120 persons were together. Okay. So now there were 120 brethren in that day at that day. I want you all to see if you all follow me. There was 120 people in that day at that time following. Okay. Peter stood up in the midst of them. Okay. Now where we get this idea that there were 120 in the upper room is because after that in chapter two, we see them gathered together. The problem is it didn't say one where they were. And it certainly said there was 120 of them with them. Now, so we go a few days later. This is not the same date. This is a few days later. So in Acts two, one, and when the day of Pentecost had come, they were all together. Who's the day they were all together? Not all the people. It was the, it was the, the disciples. Okay. It was the apostles. They were all together. How do I know? Well, let's go to verse 26. And they drew lots for them and the lot fell to Matthias, and he was added to the 11 apostles. And when the day had come together, they, who's a day referring back to the previous verse, the, they were the apostles. They were all together in one place. And suddenly there came from heaven on noise like a violent Russian Lynn and filled the house where they were sitting. Now, where were they? Does the Bible say they were in the upper room? No, it does not. It just says they were all together in one place. What is the one place? Could the one place have been the upper room described in chapter one? It could be. It may not be. They were all together in one place. That's all it says. And again, it was not the 120. It was the, the 12. How do we know so? Because we dropped down a little bit further. We're going to see what Peter does. Peter verse 14, taking his stand with the 11, raise his voice and declare to them the 11 11 plus one. That's Peter. That's 12. This kind of continues with the thought that these 12 pillars, though, the foundation of the church, who's the foundation of the church? Ladies and gentlemen, the foundation of the church is not the 120. The foundation of the church are the 12 apostles. That's who it is. That's what the Bible tells us that the foundation being the apostles and Jesus being the cornerstone, it is these 12 apostles. Then after they receive the Holy Spirit, they give validity. They, after they're preaching, others receive the Holy Spirit as well. Are you with me? So on that day, it was not 120. It was 12 that received the Holy Spirit. Now, was it in the upper room? Don't know. I wouldn't say so because it doesn't say so. I wouldn't say it's not. The point is, it doesn't say so. And so for that reason, we just thought they were together. The 12 in one place might have been the upper room, might not have been. Amen. Amen. Alrighty, let's take some more questions. Do you believe a saved person becomes a saint after repenting and calling on Jesus to save them or after they die and go to heaven? A saved person becomes a, well, okay, a couple of things. A saved person is a saint, which means to be holy or set apart, sanctify. It's the same word being holy, being a saint, being set apart, sanctified. The same word from Haggis. When does the saved person become, and here's the question, when does that saved person actually become set apart? When does it become holy? When does it become saint? And by the way, the word holy does not mean that the person is perfect, sinless. Okay. What it is, is a person that's been set apart. So now, according to Ephesians one and Romans, this happened previous to us being born. But when a person places their faith in Christ, that person becomes effectively a saint set apart. But then also there's a process of them being set apart and being sanctified. But they are at that moment, as far as we can tell, as far as we know, even far as the person knows himself, they become a saint at conversion. You are a saint then. The Bible refers to the saints, the saints at Ephesus, the saints here, the saints there. And so if you are a believer in Christ, you are a saint. Now, you might think you're a saint and not be one. That's a whole another story. When did God determine for you to become a saint? Long before there was a world and long before there was us. And then you, in all practicality, and it's all realized in heaven, but even now you are being sanctified and you're being perfected. Amen. Amen. All right. Let me mark a few more of these questions as well. I'm seeing questions. So let me just, I may or may not, uh-oh, I may or may not get, well, you know what? I'll take it back. I shouldn't say I may or may not get to all these questions. I'm not going to be able to get to all these questions. I'll do my best. I'll do my best. Let's go to the next set of questions. By the way, that was a good question. Okay. Sister Amy Burns says, how can I have assurance? I need to start looking at this one than that one. How can I have assurance when I'm so aware of my sin? I feel like I could never and can't repent correctly or enough. I keep praying for God to help. Thanks from Ireland. Amen. Sister Amy from Ireland. The good news is that you are cognizant of your sin, but you're aware of your sin. That's a good thing. The world is not aware of their sin. The world tends to not care about their sin. But how can you be assured? And does the Bible want you to be assured? Are there going to be a sign that says all you got to do is confess? Well, that's true. Place your faith in Christ. How do you know you did? The fact of the matter is that when you place your faith in Christ, you are still going to have these struggles with sin. That's going to happen. And because of that, if you are saved, that sin is still going to bother you. It shouldn't be that you can commit sin and it doesn't bother you. But what Paul brings up is our desire to not sin. If you have a desire to not sin, you may struggle, but you have a desire to not sin, then amen. By the way, that desire to not sin comes from God. The fact that you want to want to be repentant, that comes from God. Now, repenting, how many times you have to repent? There's two answers to that. One in terms of your salvation once. And that is a turning away from a desire and a pleasure of sin. When you sin, it bothers you. So repenting is simply that you have a different view, a different outlook on sin. Now in terms of the actual act of sin, well, how many times did you repent of a particular sin? Well, as often as you do it, but now that particular repenting is not what we're talking about. That particular repenting is I lied or I got angry or I lusted. What have you? Well, stop doing that. And how many times did you stop doing it? However many times you do it. But that particular repenting is not the repentance that saves you. The repentance that saves you is this answer of a good consciousness that comes as a result of the Holy Spirit regenerating, changing your heart. And you just don't like sin anymore. Sin bothers you. Yours and everyone else's. Amen. Okay. Here's a question. I think you guys in the chat should probably answer this question. Have I ever done a video over eternal salvation? Have I ever had a video over eternal salvation? Once or twice? A few. I've done a couple of videos over eternal security. I really don't deal too much with eternal security. I tried to avoid talking about eternal security. Why bother dealing with eternal security? You know what I mean? Just for what? I'm playing. I'm kidding. I'm kidding. But you asked a question. What about Revelation 21, 18 and 19? So let's go to Revelation 21, 18 and 19. Okay. Let me ask a question. Do you mean Revelation 21 or do you mean 22? Because this in 21, 22, this is giving a description of this wall and it's the middle of, so I'm not sure that's what you mean. You probably, I'm going to assume that you mean 22. I testify that everyone who hears the words of this prophecy of this book, if anyone adds to them, God will add to him the plagues which are written in this book. And if anyone takes away from the words of this book of this prophecy, God will take away his part from the Tree of Life and from the holy city which are written in this book. The reason why I think you're probably talking about Revelation 22, because people bring this up in regards to loss of salvation, meaning that they think that a person, because depending on the translation, King James, New King James, instead of saying the book of this, I'm sorry, the words, I'm sorry, it's part of the Tree of Life, some versions, those two would say part, take away his part in the book of life, meaning that, hey, here's a passage where it says that someone's name could be taken out of the book of life. It's the Tree of Life. But the person that would do such and such is not a believer in the first place. And so whatever, whatever role they could possibly have in the Tree of Life, which would be the life sustaining, they won't have that. That's all. That seems that they ever have, because no one ever has a part in it until you get to it, either from the very beginning in the Garden like Adam and Eve, or later on. Okay, so. Alrighty, let's pull up some more questions. Tips on overcoming anxiety and anxious thoughts. Well, the Bible says to be anxious, but sit not. So what are you trying to do? Just look at Philippians 4, whatever things are noble, whatever you can think of that as godly, holy, pure, think on those things. Sometimes it's hard. Sometimes you want to think about beating somebody up. Someone crossed your path or ran you halfway, ran you off the road in traffic. Someone says something mean or evil to you. You want to kind of get back. Your flesh can kick in. Think of God. Think of what he's done. Okay, think of serving him. Think of the goodness. Think about how he's brought you from where you were and your worst to even where you are now. Think about what you couldn't even imagine. He says the eyes have not seen the ears have heard. Think about what it is you couldn't even begin to imagine what it's going to be like to be with him forever. Draw close to him. And that's how you deal with those thoughts. We all have them from time and time. We all get really excited, a little nervous, a little worried, a little scared. What you do is you focus on him. He's in the boat with you rather than focusing on the ways and the wind. Focus on the one that's in the boat. Amen. Corey, do you drink alcoholic beverages? No, I do not. I drink coffee and water and lemonade and shakes and orange juice. Time and time I'll drink a soda or pop or soda pop or soda water, wherever you're from. But I've never really liked alcohol. I have. Personally, it's never done anything for me. Although I will say this, some of you guys are old enough. This is where the young folk might not be able to know this. But growing up, you could find you could find older men that would pull you out back and they would hear young fellow get you squiggled ask you a little beer. I remember I remember like it was yesterday. This was 1976. 1976. Still remember on our back porch, there were some men, some friends, some guys that stayed around and they gave us some beer. Gave us some beer. It was Miller. Yep, not Miller light. They even had Miller light then, I don't know, but it was Miller and they had something else to remember what the other was. And so, here, taste some of it. This back in the day, some of you all remember back in the day when they give you some beer or if you had beer or alcohol, it would be in a brown paper bag because folks had a little bit more respect with their sin. They tended to sin a little bit better than we do today. They had some respect with their sin. So I'll never forget my mother came back there in the back and she had her belt in her hand because she was looking for me. She saw those men were giving me some beer and she went to welling on them. Miss him. I'm sorry. Miss him. Funny. She couldn't be me. I'm still a little, I'm still a little. I thought beer was cool. I remember holding your little kid, holding about this big, trying to drink it. I thought it was so cool. I thought it was so cool. But as I got older, went to college, when we're at these parties, I'm sitting there holding a drink, just holding a drink, just holding it, just because it looks cool. I wouldn't, I didn't like the way it tasted. If back then 40 ounces were big. If I had a 40 ounce, by the time of night was over with 39.7 ounces are still in that thing. I just didn't like it. And then of course, in high school, got drunk one time and, and as a whole another story, a girl stole my money. My father would give me money for either the week or for the month or for a couple of weeks. She stole it all because I got drunk. So learned my lesson. Now it's that to say that drinking alcoholic beverages are a sin. No, the Bible does not come out and say that it is sin. Being drunk, however, is a sin. Okay. Being drunk is a sin and avoided. And so I would just, just me, I refrain from them. There are some folks that drink wine with their, you know, they go out to eat and they drink wine with their dinner. Some folks drink wine just because, hey, it's there, not me. So there's your answering question. Anyway, all righty, moving right along. Could you please exegete Matthew 812? I'll do my very best. BJ, quit changing your name. Now it's be humble. Don't fumble. Okay. What is Matthew 812? Matthew 812. Something's in my eye. Okay. Let's look at it. But the sons of the kingdom will be cast into outer darkness in that place that will be weeping and gnashing. So the question is, the sons of the kingdom, how in the world can the sons of the kingdom be tossed out? Well, let's go a little bit further up and see what he's talking about. Let's start in, let's start in verse nine. This is him healing. The centurion comes to him and he says, I'm not worthy for, you're not worthy to come underneath my roof, but just say a word and look what Jesus says. Verse nine. He says, for I also am a man under authority with soldiers under me and I'll set his one go and he goes and comes and up and comes into my slave, do this and does it. Now, when Jesus heard this, he marveled and said to those who were following, truly, truly, truly, I say to you, I have not found such great faith with anyone in Israel. There's the key, anyone in Israel. Faith, piston, aim, toe, Israel. So no one in Israel was it found. Is he saying that he didn't find any sort of faith with anyone in the region of Israel? No. These people who are Israel, these Jews, that's why he's focusing on Israel. I say to you that many will come from east and west and recline at the table with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven. Many will come and from east and west, meaning not all of these Jews, this is a point, but the sons of the kingdom will be cast out into outer darkness in that place that will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. So what is his point? His point is he's referring to a lot of Israel. Now, there's going to be some of Israel who will be saved, but a lot of you Jews, a lot of Israel, you're not going to be saved. You're going to be cast out. Jesus is speaking pointedly and directly to the Jews, which is another reason why they didn't like him. Jesus did not come and get on board with their program. He was not interested in doing what they were involved, what they wanted. And so another reason why they didn't like remember when John comes to give or when John comes baptizing, recall when he shows up, who shows up also, got all these crowds coming, John is saying repent. And who shows up? Well, the people, but also these Pharisees, he's leader. He says, brutal vipers. Well, they want to come be a part of the program because everyone else, they're not stupid. They want to be part of a good thing. They want to get it on the ground floor and they could not. John wouldn't have it and certainly Jesus didn't have anything to do with him and they were bothered. They were making more disciples than he was and so he's pointing that they just did not like him. They didn't like him. Now, if you want to be a Pharisee, hey, come on, Jesus be part of us. But anyway, we have a Cameron Lamar sighting. How you doing, brother Cameron? All right, let's go to some more questions. Okay. He says, a man just opted for euthanasia in Canada because of his cancer treatment was taking too long to come. Oh, I see what you're saying is giving up your place in line. So you're saying that this guy gave up his place as far as waiting for some sort of treatment or something like that is giving up your place in line the same as self deletion. In theory, it's helping someone else. Okay. A person kills himself because let's say their death is imminent. By the way, we see that a few times in the Old Testament. Does the Bible ascribe any sort of sin to the person who does so? No. The Bible never ascribes to the person who let's say is dying. They have a wound. Saul did so, has a wound and is dying. The Bible didn't say that he, that was his sin. His issue was more than that. The Bible never says that if you do take your life, that's also a sin. Now, I think it's also honorable to say that, hey, I'm not long for this world. And so let me go ahead and opt for euthanasia. I'm going to die. There's nothing that's going to be done aside from the Lord healing me. Well, the Lord healing me won't happen or not happen because I speak of the time frame. If the Lord intends to help me, then if I plan on taking this serum or what have you and killing myself on this particular date, does that stop the Lord from possibly healing me? Well, no, no, if he's going to heal you, he's going to heal you. But if I'm saved, guess where it's better to be? Because remember Paul even said that famous phrase, to live as Christ, to die as gain. Paul was talking about how, you know what? I would much rather go home and be with him than to be here with you jokers. But serving him, living here is gain for the kingdom. To die, to live as Christ, to die is gain. To die for me, that's gain for me, but to live here, that's for Christ to serve you all. And so we don't find a passage where that becomes a sin, where people think it becomes a sin is when they say that wait a minute, wait a minute, if you kill yourself, then how can you repent? Well, again, whereas the passage says killing yourself is a sin, it just doesn't say so. And if the pain is too great, if you're ready to go be with the Lord, because sometimes you might do what we call a suicide mission, right? You go and do something that is certain death for the cause of others. Let's say you are in the military and you go to take a heal. We saw this in earlier battles where you know that we need to take this heal. We need to take this bunker in order to win. If certain suicide, you are going to die more than likely, but you do it for the cause of others, for the sake of others. Well, is that suicide? Well, yeah, but there's a different reason behind it, sure. So I'm not going to have a problem so much with the man, except to say the main thing, have you placed your faith in Christ? Now, placing your faith in Christ, is it likely that you're going to want to kill yourself? I can't say so, probably not, but I've never had that happen and the Bible just doesn't address it. My statement is don't kill yourself. Live as long as you can until the Lord takes you out either naturally, but if you do so, let's say you are on a donor list and it's not happening and you know that you are in front of someone else and you do so valiantly for someone else, praise God. But am I saying go and kill yourself? I'm not saying that, so and I can promise you someone's going to, because it's happened before, Corey is saying you ought to kill yourself. Corey is saying it's okay to kill yourself. Corey is saying it's okay to go and get drunk. Okay. And some people, you know what? Yeah, if that's what you think I say, well then fine, praise God. Morningstar, give me that passage that you're talking about. I'm looking, I'm looking at your question. I won't, I'll leave your question there for me to go over, but give me the passage that you're, that you're speaking of. I can't off talk me and think of that passage. What Bible do I use? Wait a second. She says she lost 16 minutes of chat because of coffee. You mean you had to go get some coffee? Well then, amen. Listen, if you're going to go get some coffee, we will sit and wait on you. If it's some milk, non-cow milk, we would never wait for you. I'm kidding. But coffee, amen. I don't have a Bible that I use. When I go to the text on the screen, often you will see me using the NASB. From time to time, you'll see me reference the King James version with new King James version or ESV. I'll keep the Greek up in the Hebrew rep, depending on where we are. The reason for, the reason for me using the NASB, the default translation on this software is the ESV. I changed it to the 8 in ASB. You want to know why I did that? The reason why I did that is because people began to complain, why are you, why are you using the Calvinistic ESV? Oh, wow. So I just, oh, fine. Now there's no translation that I can use. There's none that I can use that I'm not going to get someone having a problem with it. There's just nothing. If I use the King James version, why are you using the King James version? Lord, help me if I use the new King James version, because then everyone's going to get on me. If I use the ESV, same thing. NASB has, the NASB gets a few less criticisms. And so for that reason I go with that. But I don't have one that I prefer over any other. Although I guess, you know, if you twist my arm, I probably would go with the NASB over all the rest of them. But I don't have a problem with reading the King James version or the new King James version or the ESV. So anyway, that's a good question though. Which one do you use? That's a good, that's even a better question. Which one do you use? All right, let me answer some more questions. And by the way, moderators, if in case I don't see if Morningstar puts her question back in, alert me to it please. Make sure I haven't missed it. She's gone. Oh, she's gone. Okay. Okay, I'm sorry Morningstar. I'm sorry. I don't know who you're talking about, eternal Jesus. Should I tell her about Jesus tomorrow? Whoever the she is, tell her as soon as you possibly can. That would be my suggestion. Tell her today. Tell her today. What does God say about divorce and remarriage? God does not like divorce. However, if a person become divorced, there is still forgiveness. I'm going to leave it at that. I've got a few videos that I've done to cover that and so I'll let you go look at that. If you are divorced and you have remarried, was that if the remarriage was for something other than what the Bible says is okay, allowable grounds for divorce, but you married someone else for other reasons, was that a sin? Yes, it was. Are you perpetually in sin? No, you're not. There's no such thing as being perpetually in sin as far as we're concerned. Okay. So as we say, go and sin no more. So if a person's remarried, you don't complicate one sin, you don't surpass one sin, get over one sin with another sin by a divorced person that you would also. So I'm going to say that that's wrong. Don't listen to those people. Do not divorce the person you're with because you married someone else and you divorced that person to go get back. First of all, I probably didn't want you back anywhere. Maybe. Maybe they didn't. I don't know. But you don't repeat a sin to fix a sin. Amen. Okay. Okay. Could you please explain the difference between godly sorrow and worldly sorrow and what it means leading to death? 2nd Corinthians 17. Let's go to 2nd Corinthians 17. And by the way, chess champ, I'm moving pretty quickly today. 17. For the, you know what, let's start with verse 9. I now rejoice not that you were made sorrowful, but that you were made sorrowful to the point of repentance. For you were made sorrowful according to the will of God. By the way, notice what it says that you were made. Where am I at? Uh-oh. Wait a minute. Okay. Okay. Cool. I just want to make sure I'm reading something correctly. Okay. The reason why I'm highlighting something I want to, I want to point something out. He says, I now rejoice not that you were made sorrowful, but that you were made sorrowful to the point of repentance. For you were made sorrowful according to the will of God. And this being made sorrowful, this is in the passive. So you did not make yourself sorrowful. Someone made you sorrowful. I want you all to catch that. Someone made you sorrowful. And he says to the point of repentance. And so he says verse 10, for sorrow that is according to the will of God produces of repentance without regret leading to salvation, but the sorrow of the world produces death. Here's what that means. The sorrow that we had that brings about this shame about our sin. The person asked earlier about you can't get past your sin. It bothers you. Well, that's what that is. You can't get past because your heart has been changed. You are a new creature. So sin, I can't stand sin. My sin and everyone else's. So sin is bothersome. That sort of sorrow that leads repentance is that's what happens as you are placing your faith in Christ. That's the sorrowful. That's a sorrow. That's repentance. That is about salvation. There's another sorrow like if my dog does something and she's sorry that she got caught. Not that she did it because if we turn our backs again, she'll do the same thing. That kind of dog. I didn't mean to do that. That's the sorry, the sorrowfulness that we have. Being in prison. We've seen a lot of people who were sorry for what they did to get in prison. But while they're there, you know what they're doing, guys? Literally thinking about, not all, but some guys are thinking about how they can do the next thing. But this time do it better. Or they might actually intend on doing the right thing. But then they get out. Eh, let me just do something real quick. I'm struggling. Let me go sell this again. Let me go do that again. Well, no, they were just really sorry of the conditions of the circumstance, but not sorry for the entire fight. They weren't sorry that they had, like David said, sinned against God. That's our sorrow. First of the world's sorrow is just, I'm bothered by what I did, that I got caught. But I'm not bothered by the fact that I sinned against God. Amen. Okay. Next question is turning for you. It's a good question, Chris. According to the book of Jonah, and by the way, other books as well, consider it works. If so, if it has worked to turn from sin, how then can there not be a gay Christian if we are saved by faith? Okay. God is constantly asking us to turn away from our sin, constantly asking us to turn away from our sin. The problem, especially as we look in the Old Testament, they couldn't. He keeps admonishing them. They said, we can, we will. Matter of fact, they even agree to do so and they never do. Or they might do so momentarily, temporarily. He's not asking you to do it for the moment. I don't want you to turn from your sins between the hours of one and two. I want you to turn from your sins forever and we don't do that. And so what does he agree to do? Put his spirit in us to cause us to walk in his teaching, thereby turning away from sin, turning to him. He does that. And so as it relates to someone being a gay Christian, if a person is a Christian and is fighting off these desires, the struggle, they don't want this desire. They don't, they desire not to be that. That's fine. That's a struggle. But if a person is a gay Christian, you cannot be that. You cannot be holding on to gay and holding on to Christian. You cannot say, you know what, I'm just resolved with the fact that I'm going to always be gay. No, no, we can't have that. We can't, I just like, I can't. Could you imagine a Christian being a murdering Christian? Listen, I struggle killing folks from time to time. It's just, listen, the Lord's got to work some things out of me. You know, we're not all perfect. So God helped me. Bless me, Lord. He's working through me. Your honor, it ain't my fault. I'm struggling with this. I'm struggling with a demon, your honor. Your honor, it's me and a demon. And what would the judge say? Well, you and your demons can go to prison. Your honor, it's not me. I'm struggling. I'm a Christian, but I'm struggling with still. I'm a stilling Christian. Forgive me, Lord. We don't tolerate that, do we? We don't tolerate murdering Christians. I cannot embrace those sins and Christ at the same time. Going back again, that's his godly repentance. I just absolutely abhor the way I am, even if it's not a Christian. I mean, a particular sin. I just abhor the way that I am naturally. How many of you are tired, bothered by the same old mess and stuff that you keep doing? Even if it's not a sin, I got some ways about me that I don't like, some things I need to clean up. And so for that reason, I just, I see how rotten I am. And so for that reason, you can't hold on to sin. And God, you don't even want to hold on to yourself. Because again, let me say it again, guys. Let me say it one more time. If I haven't said a thousand times, I'll say a thousand a day. You're worth $5 on a good day. $5 worth of good dirt. And yeah, the economy is bad. Things cost a lot more. So maybe you're $5.25 worth of good dirt. Because you're going back to that same dirt. There's nothing good in you. Save the Holy Spirit. That is indeed, if you do have the Spirit of the Lord in you. Amen. Amen. Rebecca says, how did we get friends and families who are professed Christians out of the world? Oh, how do we do so? Out of worldly churches, false teachings and doctrines and new age active activities. I share your video, but they don't, but they go unseen. Any advice? Well, dog on it. Give me their phone number. I'll fix this. We won't stand for somebody having literally a smart Christians video in front of them and they don't watch it. We, we, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. And no, Rebecca, we're going to fix that. As they say, the devil is a lie. We're going to, we're going to fix that. No Christian, no smart Christians video should go on and watch it. No, I'm kidding. Well, here's the deal. All you can do is all you can do. That's it. You can plant. You can be the, you can be in the, the position of the planner, or you can be in the position of the water, but ultimately God gives the increase. Now, if they know, if they profess Christ, then praise God. Sometimes you have to try to use a little bit of wisdom and you have wisdom. Sometimes you cannot use the same method with this person as you do with that person. Let me give you guys an example. My two oldest daughters, Brittany and Morgan. Brittany, I could be a little bit harder or not harder, but kind of more forceful on when teaching her how to read. Morgan, I could not. I tried it the same way with Morgan. I did with Brittany and then I'll, I'll never forget. Morgan looks at me with these big eyes and goes to crying. She is, so Morgan was five, four or five and she goes to crying and I felt this big, like you big, dumb idiot. Same thing applies when sharing the guys. We have to be wise. We have, and Jesus tells us to be wise. And so maybe with your family and friends, sometimes you might want to share with them something that has something to do with what they're in. If they can see that you are wise in other areas, then fine. Then fine. You know this, because here's what happened with me. Me, I was, I'm coming out of a Pentecostal carousel, matter of fact, I was in one, not coming out. I was in one. And then my wife's professor, who ended up being our pastor, is she, he's sharing with her in the class about all this different stuff about the Bible and so on and so forth. And she's like, wow, this guy knows his stuff. Now, of course, I'm also, he's not, he's not Pentecostal carousel, like that. So I'm bothered by that. And at the same time, the fact that she's listening to this other guy. Yeah. Who's this other guy that you're listening to? And I need to listen to him. No. Well, he would talk to me and he was not talking to me about leaving the charismatic movement. He wasn't. He was just talking about different things. And he was right. Okay. He's right on this. He's right on that. He's right on this. He's right on that. And after a while, well, if he's right on this, this is this. Why do I think he's not right on that? Now, I didn't take his word for it, but I investigated things. I saw that this was a man who was trustworthy, that he had my best interest. His approach was, by the way, guys, sometimes we have to watch our approach. So his approach was sound. It was well. It was not invasive. It was not abrasive. What do you think about this? How do you know? Why do you believe this? Why so? And so I would go back and say, well, okay, I see your point. Now, it might be, if you're talking to, might not be humble enough to hear it. Some folks will not listen to what you have to say, no matter what someone says. Well, then there you go. And it may, and then here's where the humility on your part comes in. It may also be that you're just not the person to tell them. Because have you all seen where I have been sharing the gospel with this person with, with, with Frida for, for, for 18 years and she just wouldn't do it. But then here comes this guy home where he comes up and then just one time and then she plays her faith in Christ. I've been saying the same thing and well, that happens. It might be this, not just you, because again, it's not you that opens her heart. It's God that does so. You did the planning or, or in this case the watering, someone else will come along. There you go. Amen. Okay. I'm asking questions. I will answer your question. No, I'll answer your question. I will answer your question. Third, John 1, 1, 2, beloved, I wish you above all things that you prosper, be in health, even as your soul prospers. That is used oftentimes. The reason why I know that is because I used to use that. I didn't use it in the sense of becoming financially wealthy, although we did use that, but the goal is just to be prosperous spiritually, even as your soul prospers, because the point is, the key is especially looking at third John, really all of first, second, and third John is he's talking about your spiritual life, your walk. I want you to be prosperous. He didn't say I want you to be financially wealthy. And so yes, that comes up a lot. We use that because well, if I'm going to, if I'm going to pull a fast one, if I'm going to twist a text, I got to find one that at least comes close to what I'm saying. And so, yeah, they use that wrongly a lot, a lot. Now, does that mean that God, I mean that John, because this is John saying so, that John didn't want to even really, God, let's just take it that way. Would God have a problem with you being prosperous financially? No, he doesn't have a problem. That's not his goal, though. His goal is not to make you prosperous financially. His goal is to make sure that you are part of the kingdom. If you're poor and part of the kingdom, amen. If you're, if you are a dog on it, I shouldn't have did this. I uploaded this dog on software update. Hold on. I shouldn't have did this, this Sonoma deal or whatever. I'm not, I'm not feeling it. I'm not feeling it. But anyway, yeah, I would rather you, John would rather, I'm sure, and I'm speaking for the Lord too, would much rather you be poor and in the kingdom than wealthy and going to hell. So thank you, Blake Cox for the super chat. Thank you. I appreciate that so much. And yeah, he said once again, one saved always saved. Amen. Amen. Amen. If you're saved because I didn't do the saving, you didn't do the saving. Somebody literally saved. I think about that for a second. Somebody literally saved you. And then you come back and said, the guy that literally saved you, he didn't save you. The guy that literally saved you, stuck his hand down and pulled you up. He didn't save you. He didn't save you. All right. He didn't save you. I'm going to say, like we say it, the devil is alive. But of course you're dead. No, one saved always save is alive from the pit of hell. Okay. You still can't prove my text wrong. Still can't prove my text wrong. BJ Masqueradians be humbled says, why does Jesus call, why does Jesus call God Father when Jesus is God? The whole point guys, God has to speak to us. He has to communicate to us a certain way. Let me ask you guys a question and put the comments back up. May I ask you guys a question? Does anybody have any young children? In the upfront, my two youngest grand children here, the one year old and the oldest three, three is three, he'll be four later this month. No January 1st. He thinks that New Year's Day was created for him. Amen. It was. I can't talk to him the same way that I talked to. Let's say I've got a eight. How old is she? Eight year old granddaughter and a 12 year old granddaughter who thinks she's the world's smartest. She thinks wildest child thinks she knows everything because what do teenage girls think? They think you're dumb. They're smart. So I have to speak to all of them differently. The youngest, Corey, the three year old, three Eden and then mine, all of them differently. And I speak to them differently than I speak to adults. By the way, I speak to adults differently. First of all, I speak to my wife differently than I speak to everybody else, but I speak to my brother. My wife gets bothered at the way that I speak to my brothers, all of them. I call all my brothers, we listen, I call my brothers all sorts of names. You would think I'm not a Christian. I don't cuss at them. I don't use bad words, but we talk crazy to each other. Chris, you're just dumb. Hey, listen, mama knows, you know, you know, mama thought that you were the dumbest. That's why she told us to look out after you after she died, right? My wife thinks that's just horrible, but we get it. We laugh, we have fun. That's how we talk. I talk to different Christians. Let's say if I'm speaking to someone who has a degree in, let's say in particular theology, a doctorate versus a regular late person, or some, let's put this way, someone who's more advanced in the scriptures versus someone who's just still learning. I'm going to speak differently. The reason why I say that is the point of communication is to get your point across. And to get your point across, you're going to have to speak in the way that the people can understand you. Sometimes you'll see what the Bible calls anthropomorphic language used in the Bible where he speaks to us in a way that we can understand where he says, before his face, God didn't have a face under his shadow. We don't, he didn't have a shadow Are you with me? So we see terminology that's used to help us understand. Now to your point, to your question, why does he call him the father? Why does he call him father? So that we can understand. Here we've got the fullness of God in heaven. Being sent from the fullness of God is Jesus, who is God, but in his earthly ministry was not in the fullness, but although the Bible says that now all of the fullness of the Theotokos dwells in him. So now the fullness of him is now residing in him, but so that we can understand who we're talking about. God the Father, God the Holy Spirit, God the Son. How confusing would it be if we said God, God, God, we would know who is being spoken of or in what position, what function is being carried out so that we won't be confused. We're confused in many cases as it is, often times. And so in this way, he says so. Are you with me? So that's the reason why so that we can better understand who he's talking about, what's happening. We can kind of go along with the flow. Amen. Amen. Alrighty, next question. Tony, how am I going to answer this question? Tony, how in the world, Tony, am I going to answer this question? I have a split from you all. Forgive me. How am I going to end? I have no idea. Whichever one of them have placed their faith in Christ, can you be a Catholic and be a Christian? Yeah, yeah, you can. Because a lot of Catholics are like a lot of other Christians don't read the Bible. But there may be some that have placed their faith in Christ legitimately and aren't really aware or abreast of what's happening with Rome. There have been some there's one Catholic preacher that's got put out because he didn't like the Pope. Catholic priest, I think he was down in Texas, got put out because he really can't stand the Pope. That's not good job security. But there are some Catholics who haven't recognized the fallenness of them and placed their faith in Christ. Just like you've got some folks who are Muslims who've done so. Are they Muslims afterwards? No. So now if you want to be a person who holds to the canon of Catholicism, you've got a problem there. So but I cannot answer that question. Brooke says, I've left. By the way, this is like just pure revelation for me. There's different places where I can see you guys's comments. I can look right here and see the comments right here on the screen. They're more real time here on the screen right here than they are right here. But then I can look right here and I can look right here and I can look right here where it's bigger. I don't know why I don't look at the bigger one. It's just I can see a lot better. So let me just work on this. I've left the space of deliverance ministry after four years. Praise God for that. The only verse I have question about is Mark 1614 through 16. Thank you. I love your teaching. Thank you. Let's go to Mark 1614 through 16. 1614. Afterward, he appeared to the 11 themselves as they were reclining at the table. Excuse me. I'm sorry. And he approached them for their unbelief and hardness of heart because they had not believed those who had seen him after he had risen. And he said, and go into all the world and preach the gospel all creation. Excuse me. He who has believed and has been baptized shall be saved, but he who has disbelieved shall be condemned. These signs shall follow those who believe in so it's about casting out demons. Now the question is, one, who's being spoken up? Where do you take the longer ending of Mark? And we said before that there are different endings. There's the where we think it might have. Well, I believe we're left off at the end of Mark should have been verse nine. But if you take the traditional ending that we see in the King James Version and so forth, verse 20, that's fine. That's one ending. There's one that there's like five or six, seven, eight. I can remember how many other verses after that. So there's all even longer ending of Mark. Then there's one that's a little bit short. I think there's like two, four or five more verses after verse nine. I can remember exactly how many there's different endings. But so let's say we take this to be the long of this ending right here to be the actual writing. The writer, I think that this was written by a this edition was by a scribe and he was just adding what he what he believes the text is talking about. But whoever it is, it's still clear that text is speaking about, I think about the apostles that this part where, for example, they will take up pick up serpents. Well, who did that? Well, we know when possible did that. And so I think this person is reading this is what's going to happen to those that believe speaking about these apostles. He commissioned them to do so to go into all the world and to do so to preach the gospel. And by the way, because we only see these things happening with the apostles. Let's put it on the screen. They will cast out demons speaking new languages. They will pick up serpents. They drinking daily poison. They will not hurt them. They will lay hands on the sick. They will recover well, especially this last part laying hands on the sick. They will recover. We see this happening a function of apostles. So now, do I believe, though, as a as a Christian that there are certain authorities that we have as critical sound fun? I don't want you all think that I'm now part of the deliverance ministry. So I want you to think that. But do I think that we have certain authority? Sure. One of the authority is to resist the devil and to bring about what the what the true power is that is the gospel of Christ. So therefore, true deliverance is just simply I'm going to talk about this on next week, but true deliverance is the power of Christ. I asked this question and I'll talk about this on next week because no one as of yet. Unless maybe you guys have heard, I haven't heard it yet. Maybe I've been too busy. But I asked a question. Why don't we see demons in people and being cast out prior to Christ showing up on the scene? We don't see that anywhere, do we? Well, Saul had an evil spirit. Well, was that a demon or was that God, was that God causing this to happen? Don't know. But let's just say that's Paul having a demon. Fine. Fine. We don't see the demon being cast out. We don't see it. We don't see that. So, okay, we're sorry. I'll go find it and put it there. We don't see that happening. So, why is that? And I'm yet to see someone answer that as to why. Now, there's an answer to that. There's a reason why there's a reason. I can't find it. There's a reason why we don't see that prior to that. So, I will, I'll cover that. Okay. I got that. I got it. But I think it's vitally important that we know why, why we don't see it prior to then and why we don't see it after the Holy Spirit is in someone. Okay. But the true power of deliverance is Christ. And if we just simply call something, not us calls, I said it the wrong way. But if we simply just give the gospel, someone plays their faith in Christ, the Spirit is in them, when that person cannot be demonized, even possessed, even oppressed, possessed, however you want to say it. Amen. Okay. Oh, actually, I do have, I'm sorry. I already have it marked anyway. Someone asked Devante's question because guess whose question is next? Actually, do have Devante's questions up. I've asked the question before, but could you speak on how to evangelize even in the midst of fear of witnessing? The question is going to be, and everyone, a lot of folks have this initially. Why are you fearful? What are you fearful of? I know. This is, let me give you all a sales tip. This is, sales is this. It's just, it's numbers, right? All sales is as numbers. You got to get through so many no's to get to a yes. So if you feel like you're going to get a no, well, then fine. Let's say you got 25 no's to get to before you get a yes. If you get 25 no's and the 26 person says, yes, I'm going to place my faith in Christ. Is that a good thing? Sure. You'll feel, you will feel wonderful about, I promise you. Every time someone places their faith in Christ, the person that was there at that, they feel good about it. They feel good about it. So go ahead and get through all your no's to get to your upcoming yes. Because in sales, it's a numbers game. The more you, the more you present your product, the more likely you are going to get a yes. Now you're going to get a no a bunch of times, but you're going to get more no's than yes. That's fine. But then here's where the fear needs to also be alleviated. They're not saying no to you and two, it's not up to you to whether they say yes or no. What you are being tested for is not, can you make the sale? Not, can you close the deal? We think too often like used car salesmen. I got to get this person to sign on the dotted line. I got to get this person to take this five years, 17.5% financing. No, what we're trying to get them to do is place their faith in Christ, but that's not, our job is just simply to present. You are being, you are going to be evaluated based on presenting the gospel, not even how many times you present it. And certainly not whether you get a sale or not. That's not just, that's not, that's not in your hand. That is not your job. That's not in your job description. Nowhere does he say go and make these people to become your followers of Christ. Now he does say to the disciples to go and to make disciples. So make followers, which means even those folks who become believers, make them cause them to follow you, but that's still, that's still not your territory. That's God. He does, as Paul says, one plant on waters and then God gives you increase. And so you have to look at it the right way. Don't look at it as though it's up to you. It is not up to you for someone to come to Christ. It's not ready. Hmm. This is a good question. Can you make a video on the promises Jesus makes to his faithful followers in Revelation chapter? Where is it? Where is it? I have a paper that sits right here that I can write. Okay, you know what? I'll do you one better dog on it. The reason why I'm going to do this is because it reminds me of a sermon that I did because we talk about the promises of God. Well, why don't we look at the promise now unto him that is able? Well, what is he able to do? And let's look at his promises. So let's, uh, the, see how this works, the promises, if I can spell promises of Jesus. Now, if it goes right here, if I put it on here, it's done at some, now, not when is it going to be done, but it will be done. So I'll do that. I will do that. I will do that for you. Amen. So for you always searching, looking some coming to you, to your question, just a second. You asked a good question. You asked a very good question. Do we have to have a ceremony when we marry? Do we need a passion? No, you don't. No, you don't. All you need is a beautiful bald head man, to yourself and, uh, and a bride. No, you don't have to have a ceremony. Uh, where was the ceremony in the garden? You don't have to have a ceremony. That's really more for us or let me take it back. That's not more for us. That's for her. Now, I would recommend you give her one. If you have one and you hadn't did one, then give her one after the fact. She'll appreciate that too. But no, there's, it's not required. It's not required that you have the ceremony. Now you ask her, ask the woman, is it required? She'll tell you, yeah, and you better go with that. Did Satan actually have the ability to give Jesus all the kingdoms of the world during his time of temptation? Couple of things. Number one, Neland, don't think we have not noticed you have not put up a Gojax, anything lately. Your quarterback gets hurt and you get silent. Don't think we haven't noticed that. You guys are coming back to earth. I'm messing with you. But in regards to this, could Satan have given Jesus all the, as you said, the kingdoms of the world? Sure, he could have. Satan wasn't lying. He could have. This is his world. He could do so. But Jesus understands, wait a second, this world that's falling apart, this world that will be burned, this world that will be, that is destined for hell. Why would I want that? By the way, Satan, whom, whom, whom I created, what can you give me that I can't get myself? So he could give me that temporarily. Jesus is my second in command on this earth. That doesn't even sound right. Satan has the ability to work it out to where you get what you want on this earth. You're not going to like it. You can sell your soul for him. You sure can. You sure can. But, and guess what? Guess what? If you sell your soul to the devil, you know what it's not, you know, you know what that purchase does not come with? A money-back guarantee. No refunds. All sales are final. You will get what you thought, by the way, it won't even be as well as you thought it would. Whatever you thought, you're going to get the bargain. You won't get it like you thought you wouldn't get it. You'll be disappointed and then you'll go to hell. So that's how that works. Can you touch upon ministers on YouTube who don't go to church? What does the Bible have to say about that? If they're a minister on YouTube and they don't go to church, don't listen to them. Just don't listen to them. This is not a, that's not a difficult topic. Be with the fellowship of, be, don't forsake the assembly. The name for the word church. I know we say it means a called out one because we're taking the ech and the classia. Those two words come together, but the actual word literally means congregation assembly. Okay? The gathering. Don't forsake that. And a person who says they're ministering on YouTube and they're not doing that, well then we got a problem. You need to be doing so. Amen? Okay, here's a question. Corey Dawgona, what's up with his website? This website had been in the works for the last seven years. We have, what's up with the website? The website actually is finished. The website is done. There was some, this one more thing that I'll tell you more about it later. And so we'll have that. I'll tell you more about the testing later. I can tell you about the testing later. What are you testing for? Nothing medical, nothing medical. Corey took a test and it came back negative. No, that's no, none of that. So, but the website is ready. There's one last thing, one last thing and we shall be ready to go. I haven't been, I haven't been pushing some, I said what website? There's a website that's going, there's a smart Christians website on there. Do I still have, you know what, let me, let me see. Do I still have that role, that footage of the website? Let's see, hold on. I don't know if I still even have it on here somewhere. I may still have it on here. Let's do I still have, let's see, do I still have that there? Yeah, there it is. That is what the website looks like. That's part of it. That's, that's clunky. That's not the actual one. Where's the one where it shows going through moving about through the website? I thought I had it on here where it shows the actual website, where you can go to different features and so forth. I don't have it. I thought I did, but it's not there. Oh well, sorry. But it's finished. At least there's, there's two parts that you can't access right now. So anyway, my son and I said, yeah, my son and I asked the same question. What's up with the website? What's up with the website? So I'm being trolled even at home. All right, let me go ahead and take a few more questions and we have to leave here. By the way, Eric, thank you for the super chat. I appreciate that. Should Christians tell clean jokes? Well, those are the only jokes you should tell. Should you mean you have to? You don't have to, but if you're going to tell a joke and make sure it's clean, I would, whatever you do, do it all to the glory of God. And if you tell a joke and it's a coarse joke, which by the way, Paul says, avoid these coarse jokes, these filthy things, avoid that. Don't do that. So yes, even ingesting, can you just, sure you can just, you can have fun, but how you do so. And if it's offensive, even clean stuff can be offensive. So be careful that if you happen to offend someone that you apologize for that. Amen. Okay. Ivan says, can you exergy, can you do exes on just three, five in relation to Genesis 322? Okay. Let's go to Genesis. The first time I'm going to the Old Testament today, Genesis three, and you said three, five compared to 322. So let's go to 35. For God knows that in that day, you eat of it, your eyes will be open and you will be like God, knowing good and evil. And let's jump down to verse 22. Verse 22 says, then the Lord God said, behold, man has become like us, knowing good and evil. And now he might stretch out his hand and take also from the tree of life. Now, this, this, this knowing, uh, knowing good, uh, the, uh, or Yadah, we'll get the word Yadah to know. Uh, now if he does so, he'll know first of all, he does, now he knows, he knows because he sinned to get there. He sinned to get there. So now he knows it. He will become more knowledge of it. Uh, if he does so, he has to violate what I said. And if he does it this one time, you can do it a second time and a third time. Do we see that to be the case? You sin one time. The second sin, third sin, forcing just is that easy. You already know good because you know God. And so, so that he, so he didn't become, um, even more emboldened and live forever. We have to take away this tree that's going to sustain him forever. And so that's always happening there. Amen. Uh, ladies and gentlemen, love you so much. I am tired. I've been sick the whole week. I've been sick the whole week. Um, but I've gotten better. I've gotten better. Uh, I got a bunch of other little, little teaching stuff to go over. Um, what beaching is all these? Um, no, see, but you cannot have faith with our repentance. I know you're answering somebody else. Can a believer do a Christian nightclub with Christian music? In and of itself, a Christian nightclub is not a bad thing. Uh, we, we used to go to these little, um, adult spots, uh, where you've got to be of a certain age, you know, where you got to be 35 and older. By the way, those little clubs, I guess 35 and older, pretty cool. Uh, because typically the people know how to act certain type. There's no rap music, uh, just old school, usually just jazz. Uh, no, no hard alcohol, but there would be some people that would have like some wine, nothing real hard, nothing like that. No smoking, that kind of thing. Uh, and there was a place, actually they had a Christian jazz club here about 20 years ago. I don't know if the place is still around, but about 20 years ago, it was nice. And so could you have that? You could have that. You could have that, but you got to be careful. Make sure that there's no sin taking place and that you avoid the appearance of sin. Sometimes it's kind of hard to overcome that, the appearance of sin. So, um, what was I asking? What was I getting to say? Hold on, I'm not, I'm not asking, uh, you're asking for an idea, hold on, any idea in creating a Christian channel that involves singing burgers and are you asking me? Well, I would have no idea on that. I don't know. I don't know. I would say this though, whatever you do, do it with some excitement, do it with some zeal, some joy and just keep putting out whatever you're trying to put out. Uh, two, one of two things is going to happen if you, if you start videotaping, uh, your channel, one of two things, someone's going to see it or they won't see it. So if you're bad, that's why you shouldn't have any fear. If you, if your channel is no good, if you don't, if you're not good at presenting anything, um, then no one's going to see it anyway. But if it is good, then praise God, people are going to see it. And even if it's good, sometimes it takes a little while, you're typically not going to go viral. I haven't had a viral, but I've never had a viral video. There's no big deal. I've never had a video that today and then next week it said 500,000 or the next day it said 100,000 to 100,000. I've never had one of those. Never had one of those. Who knows? If ever. Well, but it's no problem though. The videos I typically have, they are, they're evergreen. So if I cover a video about cremation or a video about, uh, marriage or a video about this video, then you can watch that same video. And it's just as relevant today or three years ago or in 20 years. So, um, no, not even the genomes video that there's one genome video that's like at 700,000 right now. I wish I could show you guys a chart. It just did like this and it's just been growing, but it didn't go like, like that. All of the videos have just been just, just, just moving up. And what's funny is some videos, they do this, they tail it off and then one day just take off and then do like this. And you know, so yeah, nothing that I can control about it. And I don't, you should never try to do a video to go viral because the likelihood of it going viral is low, unless it depends on what genre you're in. So anyway, uh, by the way, guys, if I haven't said before, thank you. Thank you. Chris, right? This is your, uh, your comment and probably next Friday is when I'll be live again, taking people on next Friday. So if you want to, if you want to do that on, on next Friday. So, but in the meantime, guys, I look forward to seeing you. Don't forget about the Bible study tomorrow. See you all tomorrow or if not see some other time. Look, look, look at, look at him. Look at him. You call him out. You call him out. Then he wants to go with his gojags. Yeah, gojags, gojags. Okay. Anyway, praise God guys and I love you all. See you all later.
