 Good evening. Good afternoon. Good morning, depending on where you are. I did not go over the or kind of grab all of the earlier questions that were submitted. So if you did another if you did go ahead and resubmit those I'll I'll I'm sorry. I apologize. I should have grabbed some of those questions pre-selected. I'm pretty sure I'm pretty sure. I'm pretty sure spider monkey put some questions pre-selected because he always does. So I'm sorry I didn't grab those questions and so anyway go ahead and and resubmit those put a big gigantic cue or put a question in front of your question and that way I can get to them. I'm not going to be able to get to all of them. I'll do my best as much as I can but I will not be able to get to all of those. So anyway in the event I hope you're all doing well. Okay I see you spider monkey. I hope you all are doing well. All is going well. Let's see and while I am writing marking some of these down let's see let's see I've got I mean I have marked okay. I don't know if you all can see this side but you should be able to even see how many I have. I have marked. I have this thing kind of out of focus or out of kilter. How am I doing? Jay Quinn I'm doing well. I'm doing wonderful. Thank you for asking. I'm doing I am on top of the world. I feel good. I feel good. Who told me last night that they were talking about me last night? Who did that? Because what did I do after I finished? I shut everything down and I was going to go grab my my son-in-law. His family was across the street and so one of the boys were making hamburgers. So we made hamburgers back to back. So I made hamburgers night before and then he made hamburgers last night. So while I was shutting everything down I just clicked on just see and I decided to call it one. I called up one of those guys that was talking about me and upset him. I was just I wasn't being mean. I was actually being godly but it felt good the way he took it. The way he took it made y'all probably know what I'm talking about. You probably know what I'm talking about which is good but it made me feel good to upset him. It made me oftentimes acting godly to ungodly folks kind of knocks him off kilter and you just feel a little bit better. No, no, it wasn't him. It wasn't him. I did challenge all of them to hey listen my phone still works. You can call. But anyway it was it was wonderful. I just told the guy quit telling everybody that you've been talking to me when you have it. So anyway, it felt good. Now let's go ahead and get to the main stuff. Let's go ahead and tackle some of these questions. Okay, that's what you're saying, that's what you're saying. Mike asked, Psalm 1098, Acts 1, 2024, wasn't Paul supposed to be the one to take Judas's place? Did Peter pick Matthias prematurely? I believe no. Okay, let's go. Let's go to instead of going to the one in song because all they're doing is repeating what was what was stated. Let's go to Acts 120. Matter of fact, by the way, this is how you know who is an apostle, who can't be an apostle. Let's go to Acts 120 and the scripture says, for it is written in the book of Psalms, let his homestead be made desolate and let no one dwell in it and let another man take his office. Therefore it is necessary that of the men who have accompanied us all the time that the Lord Jesus, excuse me, went in and out among us, beginning with the baptism of John until the day that he was taken up from us, one of these must become a witness with us, with us of his resurrection. So it had to be someone who was with them from the beginning, who was with John. And so these particular apostles, oh, by the way, there are these 12 pillars at the end for these 12 apostles. So they're picking one. Now what's interesting to note is we don't talk about this often, but there were people that followed not just the seven, I mean the 12, but there were others. Now they would be scattered, but then again that's not a big deal because so too were the disciples themselves scattered when, as Jesus says, when the shepherd is struck, the sheep scatter. And so not just the 12, well at this point, the 11 scattered, but also the others. And so numbered among those others, those other disciples, was these two men, the two they put forward with Joseph, also called Bassavas, who was also called Justice, it's got three names, and then Matthias. And they prayed and said, you Lord, who know the hearts of all men, show which one of these two you have chosen. So notice it's saying that you have chosen. So it's not that Peter or any of the other ones chose prematurely, even though they cast lots, they indicate that it is you who have chosen. So this was this whoever is chosen, in this case Matthias was chosen by God. Now as far as it relates to Peter, Peter, I'm sorry, not Peter, Paul, Paul was chosen because remember in all of this, God has stated, God has stated that he is going to make Israel jealous by the hand of these non-Jews. I'm going to call on people who are not my people to be my people. That's going to be us Gentiles. And so they need an apostle. Remember, what don't we have at the beginning of the church? We do not have a book. We don't have copies of the book, even when someone writes a book. And oh, by the way, let's just be clear. People say, well, that Mark was the first written, Mark was not the first gospel written. Actually, even though it's chronologically there correctly, but it's also given to us correctly that Matthew was the first of the Gospels that was written. James was close, but let's just say when one of the Gospels or one of the other writings were given. They didn't make copies. They didn't have a copy card. They didn't take, you know, they didn't print out 40 copies. No. So you got one letter to be shared knowing that others are going to copy because that was kind of the practice then. So what you needed though, and what you need to bring about a revelation, because remember the whole point of the Holy Spirit in man, especially in them, was to bring a revelation of Christ. Well, you've got these bringing a revelation to the Jews, but who is going to be the one that's going to bring this revelation and lead the Gentiles? And so here we have obviously, it's kind of interesting, I should say, obviously, but interestingly enough, a super Jew, you have a super Jewish person by the name of Saul or Paul, same name, who is instead of leading the Jews, being an apostle, the Jews is going to be an apostle to the Gentiles. I think it's kind of cool how the Lord did that, that being the case. So Paul was chosen. God knew who is going to do all along. So what type of Bible app am I using? This is, this particular app is Accordance Bible Software. Well, that's a question. Accordance Bible Software. I use that as well as Lagos. Please don't say logos. Lagos. You know what, TT? She said, can you do a panel question Friday? You know what? I can do, you know what? That might not be a bad idea. That might not be a bad idea. Do me a favor, send me an email, remind me of that. I think that might be pretty cool. Get a couple of guys and have them, have someone else answer your questions. Now, if they answer your questions, it's going to be wrong. If I am kidding, I'm kidding. That'd be cool. That would be actually a really good idea. That's a good idea. So remind me, no, is that three we hear? That is not three we hear. That is Corey. My youngest daughter, one day out of the week, babysits my grandchildren or the two boys, the three year old, well, I'm sorry, he's not, three is actually four now. His birthday is December, I mean January 1st. And then Corey, his birthday is in July. So he's a year and a half. And his way of saying no or stop it, I don't like it, is to scream at the top of his lungs. And so that's what he's doing. So he is, he is something else. He is a fighter. He is, he is, wow, he is, he's, he's amazing. He's my dude though. I can remark some more of these. So, so to your question, Mike, is there a 13 apostles? There actually, and we covered this before, but let me just do this quickly. We have 12 apostles, 12 Jewish apostles, 12 apostles to the Jews, 12 apostles to the Israel. We have one apostle that was sent by Christ. So we have 13 apostles from Christ. But we actually have more apostles. We also have apostles of the church. For example, Barnabas was an apostle of the church, meaning the church was the one that actually sent out Barnabas. Now the church sent out Paul and Barnabas, but Barnabas didn't have that encounter with Christ. We've got 13 people that actually were, that met Christ and were sent and commissioned by Christ. The 12 and then comes Paul Paul says, I'm the last one kind of untimely chosen. So yes. And that says yes. More questions? This is a good question. Why didn't Elijah tell King Naaman? Well, not King Naaman, but tell Naaman. The King wasn't Naaman. Naaman was his officer. I'm sorry. No, no, no, wait a second. No, Naaman. Naaman was, I know what you're talking about. Yeah, I'm sorry. Naaman. I'm thinking of, of, of, of, was, Gehazi. Naaman was not the king, though. Naaman was the commander of, of the Assyrian's army. Why didn't Elijah tell Naaman to stop worshiping his pagan god? Or are you asking, did he tell, why didn't he tell Naaman to tell the king to stop worshiping his pagan god? Which, which one are you asking? Matter of fact, go ahead real quick, spider monkey. Tell me which, which are you asking? Are you asking why didn't he tell Naaman to stop worshiping the pagan god? Or did he tell Naaman to tell the king to stop worshiping? The king was a pagan. The Syrians were pagan, but so too was Naaman. But Naaman makes a statement. Let's go to fur, let's go to kings. It's the first kings, first kings, or second kings, second kings, second kings. I think it's around five somewhere. Yeah, second kings around five. Let me look for your answer. Okay, well, I don't know why he didn't tell him to tell, to tell Naaman to tell the king not to do that. And I remember the issue was, the issue wasn't that they didn't know. Remember why Naaman is there. Naaman is there because Naaman has leprosy. Now in that culture, lepers, pagans or non-jews didn't have a problem as much as the Jews with having lepers around them. Some cultures did not all, but Naaman was able to be around. And of course, Naaman was a great leader. So let's start in chapter five, verse one. Now Naaman, captain of the army of the king of Aram, was a great man with his master, a highly respected and highly respected, because by him the Lord had given victory to Aram. So now notice, notice how this is put. God is actually involved in Aram or the Assyrians being victorious. Why would that be? Well, because God is also upset with who? With Israel. Israel, you're right. I love you, but I'm going to beat you. I'm going to use other people to beat you. But anyway, notice what he says. The man was also a valiant warrior, but he was a leper. Everything's going great except for this, this, this skin issue. Now let's drop down and here it is. This is the reason why that probably Elijah didn't tell him to go and tell the king because the king knew the king would know so too would Naaman. He says now the Arameans had gone out in bands and had taken captive a little girl from the land of Israel and she waited on Naaman's wife and she said to her mistress, look what she says. I wish or if only my master were with the prophet who is in Samaria, then he would cure him of his leprosy. And so then he would know what? That there is a prophet in Israel. So if there's a prophet in Israel, and by prophet they mean an actual mouthpiece of God, not one of the prophets that we have a day, you know, by the Lord. I think the Lord is telling me somebody with hair has the financial need, not those kind of prophets. I mean a real prophet. Well, if there's a real prophet in the land, then that's a real prophet of a real God. And so the point was not just by knowing that there's a prophet in the land, but there's a God. They knew who God was. They knew that the God of Israel was the God. They also knew that from time to time the God of Israel would seemingly turn his back on Israel. So that would probably, I would suspect would be the reason why they knew. Now, again, the Bible doesn't say so I can't say definitively, but again, they knew that there was a God. They knew the God of Israel. They've always known about the God of Israel. The problem is though they didn't want to, they didn't want to acquiesce because the issue, let me just say this guys, the reason why people don't come to Christ, the reason why people have a hard time of saying they believe in God, it isn't what it isn't the tenants of the faith. The tenants of the faith is not the issue. It's not the Trinity. It's not or Jesus being God. It's not faith through salvation through faith. That's not it. The issue that people have is that if he's the Lord, then he's got to be my Lord. I don't feel like having anybody as my Lord. I don't feel like having anyone tell me what to do. And that was their issue. We don't want to, we don't want to, we want to go off and serve other gods. We want to do, matter of fact, even the Jews have that issue. We want to, we want to king like other nations so we can do what we want to do, what they do. Lord, listen, Samuel, have you seen these other people? Have you seen the Amalekites? Have you seen the Parasite? Have you seen the Philistines? They know how to party. They know how to get down. Matter of fact, nowadays we've seen some of these Philistine leaders. We've seen some of these Canaanite leaders, especially in Atlanta. We see them wanting to walk it out and swagging the surface and stuff like that. So we see people that live a certain way and that's how we want to live. And we don't want a Lord like your Lord who is, he's got too many rules. He's got too many cumbersome things about it. So no, not interested in that. How do I learn Greek? I learned Greek from inside of a jail cell with this coffee cup. By the way, this was my study partner. That's how I learned Greek. What happened was while I'm in prison, I said, you know what? My former pastor mentor was always telling me, Corey, go to seminary. Nope, I'm not going. Why do I need to go to seminary? For what? So, well, while I'm on my federal tour, guess what I have? I've got time. And so what I did was I got the curriculum for a couple of seminaries. I got the curriculum for Southwestern Baptist Theologian Seminary. And I got the curriculum for Dallas Theologian Seminary, who at the time my pastor was also on the staff there as a professor. Now, I said, I want to learn the languages obviously because it just helps. We didn't have any Greek study materials. Actually, I take it back. I did come across an old Greek textbook, which was horrible in horrible condition. It was just difficult to understand. This textbook, I probably might have been a second or third year, but they had a Hebrew textbook. And this Hebrew textbook, I found, I said, wow, I like, okay, so I checked it out of the chapel library and I kept it. I kept it and I kept it. Matter of fact, I was talking to the chaplain about this. I said, I'm never giving this book back. And he said, that's okay, Corey, you can have it. So he gave me the Hebrew book. But interestingly enough, one day these people sent me to the chute. I didn't do anything wrong. I think I still don't know what it was. I think my name got mixed up with somebody. And so I lost a lot of my property, a lot of my books. One of the books that was taken was this Hebrew study book. But while I was there studying Hebrew, there was a chaplain who came by the name of Brian J. Wright. Brian J. Wright is, he is very scholarly with Greek. As a matter of fact, he wrote a book or co-wrote a book with Dr. Daniel Wallace. If you don't know who Dr. Daniel Wallace is, just if you look up Greek, you're going to find his name and his picture. He is one of the foremost authorities on the planet when it comes to Koine Greek. And so he's there and why do I keep impugning your city? If your city is Atlanta, I'm not doing it. They're doing it. But he's there and I'm going to take advantage of this Greek scholar. I'm going to do my very, very best, take advantage of him. So that's how it came about. And I ended up having, I forgot even how I got the textbook. Oh, I know how I got the textbook. Someone ordered it, who wanted to study it, but they never studied it. And so I actually held on to their book until I left. But I got, as a matter of fact, another guy had it. I would make copies of certain pages and just use his pages. And then, you know, when it's time for me to go to the next lesson. So that's how, that's how I learned. Okay. In Acts 7, 55, is Jesus being referred to as the glory of God because of the exegetical chai there. Let's go to Acts 7.5. I mean, 75. But being full of the Holy Spirit, he gave intently into heaven and saw the glory of God and Jesus standing at the right hand of God. Oh, I see what you're saying here. I see what you're saying. I would say so. Let me look at this. Hold on. Wait a second. Wait a second. Let me make sure. Let me make sure. Yep. I would say so. The reason what I had to look at was make sure that they were in the, they have the same case endings. And so, let's see. No, I'm sorry. No, no. Oh, wait a minute. Wait a minute. You know what? I'm sorry. I'm conflating rules. I'm conflating rules in my mind. I'm thinking Grandville Sharp, but it's not Grandville Sharp. But, but I think that, I think that is though. I think that is because he is the, yeah. Wait a second. Let's, let's, let's. I think so. I would say CG, I mean CG, Chadwick. I would say that that is, that that is, I would go with that. I think so. I think you're right. Oh, go on it. Chadwick. Smart. Just, you're just smart. What are my thoughts on N.T. Wright's view on Paul's Gospel? I'm not, I'm not sure what his views are. What is it, help me out. What does he, what does he believe about Paul? N.T. Wright has said some things like, ah, matter of fact, I haven't did a video word to N.T. Wright. Stop saying sorry. Matter of fact, one time John McCarthy said, he called N.T. Wright N.T. wrong. So it was interesting. He was, he was actually just doing a, did a live streamer or a show N.T. Wright did with Darrell Bock. A lot of these scholars and so forth, whether they agree or disagree on some things, whether they're still friendly. And so they do cross-pass, but, and there are things that they say sometimes like, ah, because in an academic world, it's just like secular, secular world, where you want to get published. You want to be known for some things. You want folks to buy your books and just saying the same old, same old, why should I buy your book versus this other book? Well, I may have to say something different or profound. So, but yeah, tell, what does N.T. Wright believe about Paul? I mean, help me understand. So I'll wait for you to come back with that, Ron. Okay, here's the interesting one. Does 1 Corinthians 8-6 and Colossians 1-16 prove that Jesus is the Father? You know, go out without, I know what Colossians 1-16 says. I can't think right off the top of my head what 1 Corinthians 8 says. But I'm gonna go out on the limit and say no. But let's go to 1 Corinthians 8-6. 1 Corinthians 8-6. Did you say 8-6? Yeah, 8-6. Okay, yet for us there is but one God, the Father, from whom all are, I'm sorry, from whom are all things and we exist for him and one Lord Jesus Christ. But hope now, if you notice here, we see a distinction between, as a matter of fact, this is one of the passes that you go to that would show that the Father is not the Son. Okay, because you can see this distinction here. One God, the Father from whom are all things. So you see the distinction between the Father and one Lord Jesus Christ. Now, the interesting thing though, and this is where becomes difficult. And let me just say this again, you won't find a person on the planet that can adequately explain the Trinity. You just can't. You're never going to find somebody that can adequately explain something that is difficult or impossible to explain for us. We are too finite, he's too infinite. But notice what's being stated here. We're seeing a distinction, yet at the same time, and one Lord Jesus Christ. Who's the one Lord Jesus Christ? Well, what does the Bible already tell us that the Lord is God? So and that's really all you need to know. All you need to know is that Jesus is God. He is the Lord, the Lord is God. However, they are distinct and the same at the same time. How do you figure that out? Because the problem is, this is where oneness get their issue, have their problems, is trying to figure it out. And I think that's all it is. They're just trying to figure it out. And one minute, he's God the Father, he's the Father, he's the Son, he's the Holy Spirit, different times. Well, if you take the different times away, that God is God the Father, that God is the Son, God is the Holy Spirit. They put that at different times and different modes. As you take that part where they'll be okay. But it's just them trying to reconcile in their mind, which you can't do. Therein lies the problem, trying to reconcile an irreconcilable God. He is what we call inscrutable. So you might know what that term is, inscrutable, inscrutable, inscrutable, inscrutable. So you might know what that term is. That means unknowable. I cannot, I don't know. It's hard to, all we know about him is what he has chosen to reveal. And so therein lies our problem. So yeah, Colossians, Colossians, all things are from him and for him and so forth by him. But the issue is though, first, and I would say, I can see some issues with Colossians, but keep it in mind with other passages like this passage, there's a distinction there. So how to help a single man, a single man struggling with the proceedings of sexual immorality. It's the same with everything. Alex, it's the same with everything, whether you are male or female, whether it was sexual, whether something mental or emotional, financial, whether it was something else. It all comes, it all is fixed by doing the one thing that we're told to do, draw close to him. If you draw closer to him, and he's drawing closer to you, proximity is our issue. If you're this far away, and you're fighting sin by yourself, then you're fighting some might say, but if you get hit closer, then one, your focus is on him. What we're not very good at is doing two things at once. So since we're not very good at doing two things at once, if our focus is on him and serving him and worshiping him and just marveling at his beauty and doing like Philippians says, chapter four, thinking all these wonderful things, then it's hard to, it really, it literally is hard to kind of focus on the other things, right? Now the enemy's going to come at you when you are, but still, and you just dig deeper. You get closer to him, the closer you get to him, the further away you get away from sin. What is the difference between the Greek word Huyls and Technon? Huyls is son, Technon is children. So you said John 112, John 112, but as many as received him, he gave the right to become children, Technon, of God, even to those who believe in his name who were born. Now in essence, it's the same thing. It really is that although Technon or Technon is children and Huyls is son, but also Huyls can also be used interchangeably to describe children or sons kind of in a gender-neutral sense. The only time we'll talk about something being gender-neutral in the Bible, because sometimes women are also labeled in with children or sons of. Matter of fact, if you look at the Septuagint as it describes the children of Israel, oftentimes you'll see the sons of Israel. So the word can be chained out. There are times in context where you understand they speak about an actual male son, but in some cases they both mean the same, but technically Huyls does mean son, but it can also mean children, but Technon or Technon, it does mean children. John 14.15, is this a command or is this a result of salvation or both? It's going to John 14.15. If you love me, you will keep my commandments. So you're asking, is this the result of salvation or is this a command? It's not a command. Wait, wait a second. Nope, it's not a command. I just want to make sure, because the word if is there and there is no imperative, but it's just saying, if a person does love me, you will do what? You will keep my commandments. And so no, but this is the result. But notice who he's speaking to. He's speaking to his disciples. And so they do love him and they will keep his commands. So this is him going over some of the last things that he's going to deal with him. Let them know that, hey, I'm getting ready to die on my way out. Let's try to get you guys ready. Don't want you guys surprised when it happens. So okay, hold on, wait a second. If a man divorces his first and second wife, would it be a sin for him to remarry his second wife since it was a sin to marry her in the first? Okay. All right. Anonymous. That is an interesting question. Interesting. I don't want to say necessarily difficult. Here's what I want everyone to understand. And this also includes marriage and remarriage and so forth. Divorce, except for the reasons the Bible gives us is a sin. Remarrying or marrying someone because of that divorce is a sin. However, there is no perpetual sin that's held against the believer. Okay. So if a person violates God's standard and that person is saved, God is not going to hold that over him for the rest of his life. Can I give you an example? No, I won't, no, I won't, no, because I don't want, I don't want to venture into those waters. I want to give you another example, but I don't want to do that. But if a man divorces his first wife and second wife, but then goes back and marries the second wife remarries her again, has he committed a sin? The sin won't be in remarrying her. Again, he's already committed that sin. It's not like, all right, I'm stacking sin on top of sin. No, I wouldn't say that. So, especially if the person is forgiven by the Lord, when I'm forgiven, the person has placed their faith in Christ. So no, I would say no. Now I'll give 12 videos or 35 comments. Corey, you're going to hell, you, you too. So probably, I'll probably get that. Barry Bull says, say no to marriage gents. Okay. All right. Barry either has an unhappy wife or is single. All right, let's go. I have no idea what you're asking me. Just put a verse there. Here's a good one. Who do you think the naked man in Mark 1451 was? Let's go to Mark 1451. A young man was following him wearing nothing but a linen sheet over his naked body and they seized him, but he pulled free of the linen sheet and escaped naked. Now here's the issue. This is just there. This question is just like in the, it's unusual. And it's like, why, why is this passage here? And so what do we do when we see a passage like this? All we can do, ladies and gentlemen, is speculate. So that's all we can do. We have, because it doesn't tell us what a lot of people say and they might be right. Let me ask you guys this question. Who do you all think this person is? In Mark 1451, a young man, because matter of fact, let's go, let's go, let's go previous to it. I'll move my cursor. Every day I was with you in the temple and teaching you and you did not see me, but this has taken place to fulfill the scriptures and they left him and fled. And let's let's move past that. Let's go to 53. They led Jesus away to the high priest. So here it is. Jesus is being arrested. And in the middle of that, there's this young man who was following him wearing nothing but a linen sheet over his naked body and they seized him, but he pulled free of the linen sheet. Who would you guys guess and granted, it's a guess. It's a guess, but who do you all think this was? Many people say that this is probably Mark. Now, there's no way to know for sure. There are legends that say it's probably Mark. Why? Because it's odd. It makes sense if it's Mark because this is inserted for no good reason. It literally interrupts the flow. Now, can I prove that? If you said it was, I don't know, if you said it was T.D. Jake's, couldn't prove it wasn't. If you say it was Joe Biden, he's certainly old enough to have been there, couldn't prove it wasn't. We don't know who it is, but Mark, it makes sense because in the scriptures, you'll see from time to time someone kind of implanted in the middle of a passage like, wait, wait a second, where'd I come from? If you look at the writings of Luke, by the way, the writings of Luke, it was considered to be one book, Luke acts. He inserts himself kind of, I don't want to say sneakily, but he just kind of just subtly inserts himself that he goes from the pronouns they to we. So that could be the case. Same thing with John, as he's writing, he calls himself the one of the type whom Jesus loves, kind of inserting himself without necessarily, you know, we know he's talking about himself. Is this Mark kind of doing the same thing? Could be. By the way, let me ask you guys a question. Here's a question. Who do you all think is, and there's no right or wrong answer, but who do you all think Theophilus is? You ever thought about who is Theophilus? Well, well, before I answer that question, I'll let you guys answer that question while I go and pull up another question while you guys are looking. But to your point, though, could it have been Lazarus? It could have been Lazarus. It very well could have been Lazarus, but we don't know. Marisol, I'm not sure what your question is. Ask it again. Could the account OD, I have no idea what you're asking. I have no idea what you're asking. But in the meantime, who do you all think Theophilus is? Well, never heard of Theophilus. You know Theo, Kelly says. Theophilus could be some wealthy man, or Theophilus could just be to Christians. Because the name Theophilus means, does anybody know what Theophilus means? Theophilus means lover of God is two words, Phaea and Vileo, lover of God. So I will, Jamie. I got you, Jamie. So lover of God. Is it possible? He says he was most excellent. He could be speaking to Christians in general, or it could be an actual person. We don't know. There were a lot of people that were named Theophilus, though. Theophilus was kind of a common. I won't say how common it was. I don't really know. It was like common as John. Don't know. But there were people that were named Theophilus, but it was also used just to kind of speak of the people. So Phaea and Vileo. And by the way, this is something that people do sometimes. They see some of these words and they think, yeah, correct Christopher, could be represented of the church or could be a person. The point is, he was telling the truth, whoever he was speaking to. But sometimes people hear that word Phileo and they think that that's a brotherly kind of love, whereas Agape is the godly kind of love. Truth of the matter is, no, it's not. Phileo is also a godly kind of love. As a matter of fact, it might be in this passage here. Let me see. It might be in this passage. Let's see. Hold on one second. Okay, here it is. Let's see. Yeah. In the passage where Jesus is asking John, I mean John, asking Peter, do you love me? One of the times it's used there is Phileo or Phileo, which is love, he says. Put on the screen. Son of John, do you love me? Now Jesus uses the word Agapas more than these. He said to him, yes, Lord, you know that I love you. Now Jesus, Peter used the word Phileo. Now, do you think that Peter is saying, no, God, you think God is asking Peter, do you godly love me? And Peter says, yes, Lord, I brotherly love you. No. He said to him, tend to my land. He said to him a second time, son, do you love me? And he said, yes, Lord, you know that I love you. Tend to my sheep, feed my sheep the third time. And do you love me? Now this third time Jesus uses that term. Phileos, do you love me? He uses it that way. And then Peter, you know I love you, then Peter turns around and uses it again. So the point is, the point is, uh-oh, I need to, wait, I've got to deal with this. But the point is, don't get into the habit of listening to some of the preachers that will tell you that these words are different. Uh, that Phileo is used of brotherly love. And I mean, it can be. It can be. And the Godly is typically used of this Godly form that we think of. But it also is, as a matter of fact, there's a passage, I can't think of a passage off the top of my head, where Jesus loves God, or the Son of the Father, something like that. And the word below is used. Frank Tove says, religion is basically, turn off your brain and blindly, and blindly believe, believe, I think you meant to say believe, speak or turn off your brain. I'm sorry, I'm being funny. Believe what your book of choice tells you. Seems very intellectually dishonest to me, especially when we know that it isn't compatible with reality. Let's just pause for a second ladies and gentlemen. Frank, I want to make you the guest of the hour. What do you mean, Frank? Does it look like we are turning off our brains? As a matter of fact, I think our brains are actually engaged here. So let me ask you a question, Frank. That is, if you're willing to gain. Now I don't know, you could be a troll, or you could be here to offer some intellectual honesty. You tell me, you tell us. Why not? Let's see if we can, if we can see what you're thinking. If maybe you can, we are open to you convincing us. So, please help us out. I remember teaching a class. I taught a class. There was a book that was written called Why 66. I kind of took the title and made it into a class, Why 66, and it was to prove if those books of the Bible are true and why and so forth. And I said, there was, I forget how people were there, but it was a large number of people but most or about half of people there were non-believers, atheists and so forth, Buddhists, Jews, Muslims, and another half a Christian. And I said to the Christians, you guys have to be willing to be wrong. You have to be willing to be able to say that everything in the Bible is an absolute fabrication. It's not correct. And so what happened? All the atheists and pagans and so forth, they cheered, amen. That's right. You have them saying, amen. But I said, now, but you guys have to be intellectually honest as well to state that you might be wrong. So let's just venture. And we went through these different logical planes to see, could, is it possible that the Bible makes good logical sense? And I asked him, on what basis do you want to either attack the Bible or defend the Bible? And I gave it to the to the non-Christians first. Do you want to do so either on a scriptural basis, historical basis? How about prophecy? How about scientifically? Now, the Bible is not a scientific book. It's not a historical book. But on matters that it speak of in terms of science and history, have they been proven to be false? Nelson Blick, one of the foremost archaeologists has stated that there's not been one archaeological find ever to disprove the Bible. However, those that relate to what the Bible speaks of have only, every time, proven what the Bible says true, even in places that historians and archaeologists and so forth thought that this wasn't the case. Then later, archaeology comes back and proves. Yes, it is. Same thing with historical facts. Same thing in terms of history, which leader was this king, this Simon the Tetrarch, who was, he was not, he was, that, that was not the case. And then come, lo and behold, we find out? Yes, he was. So, historically speaking, as far as a narrative, we can't find anything in the Bible that is incorrect. Now, are there some things that maybe haven't been proven yet? Well, proven yet and being false are two different things. Same thing with the same thing with science. There are some things that we know about science or that we knew prior to science, even telling us. So, I would love them, but I, where I, where I camp on Frank, Doug on it, Frank, where are you? Frank just dropped a bomb and left. How? And Frank, if you're there, say something. We want you to be intellectually honest. We don't want you to turn your brain off. We don't want you to say something and run. So, because I have a question for you. I have a serious question. So, I'll go back to the Q and A. If you all see Frank, let Frank know that I'm looking for him. Okay. All right. Let's go to the next question. Doug on it, Frank, you got, you got my dandruff. You got me going and then you stopped. Infinite abundance asks, do you believe in one safe, always safe? Yes. I just matter of fact, speaking of people that, that just don't know what they're talking about, said that I did not know what I believe. Of course, you don't know what you believe. You're all over. He didn't, he didn't know what one safe, he didn't know what one safe, always safe is. As a matter of fact, he's, he's free grace. I'm not free grace, not free grace. And I do know what I mean, what I believe. Now, you don't have to believe it, but I do know what I believe. And I'll, I'll spell it out. But what it is, is you've got some people that believe that if you're not a Calvinist, there's only, there's only one group, or three, Arminians, Provisionists, and Calvinists. That's not true. There are those that believe that if you believe in election, if you happen to believe in election, you have to be a Calvinist. No, no, no, stop that Calvin. The belief in election preceded Calvinism. There are non-Calvinists that believe in election, except for they don't have to be a Calvinist to believe in election. Sorry. As a matter of fact, you'll see some, some more heated debates about foreign against Calvinism from people who both believe in election. So, but yes, I do believe in eternal security. I believe, as a matter of fact, the largest collection of videos that I do on this channel are over that particular topic. Yes, Ron, I do plan on interviewing more people. There's a couple coming up. I won't say who wouldn't win, but there are a couple coming up. So, I will say this though, sometime in March, we are going to do a two-part special on the people who are banned. We are going to unban them for this time. Do you all remember who the people are that are banned? We have banned. We have a Hebrew-Israelite ban, but we're going to talk about Hebrew-Israelite for two different videos. And we're going to come from a standpoint of the Old Testament and the New Testament. We're going to bring on Brother Rick Caldwell. We're going to be as in-depth as possible. We're going to be quick and fast, but also in-depth so that people who are flirting with this, thinking about this, or confused about it, or want to even have a retort that they can use this. So, that's one, but then there's some other folks out that I will be bringing on as well. So anyway, all righty, let's go back to some more questions. Huh. Interestingly enough, most excellent theophilists are the promises to bloodline or to bloodlines and conversed to Judaism. If bloodline, how do we distinguish with all the conversions and the Palestinians being bloodlines? Okay, a couple things. I think I understand your question. The promise is to ethnic Israel. The question is, who is ethnic Israel? That's a big question. Who are the Jews? Who are the true Israelites? Well, I know who does know. That is God. Now, ultimately, at least for this time being, it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter for a couple reasons. One, if you are a Jew and you haven't placed your faith in Christ, and Paul says you're not a real Jew. This issue of not all Israel's Israel, and then when he's speaking of that the Jew is the one who's not just circumcised outwardly, but circumcised inwardly. He's not speaking of Gentiles who are circumcised inwardly. He's speaking of all the Jews who are circumcised outwardly. The real ones though are the ones who are also circumcised inwardly. So he's speaking ethnic Jews, the bloodlines, but at some point in time he's going to save them when don't know which ones who we don't know. But right now, you must have placed your faith in Christ, which is what Paul is getting at. And so ultimately it doesn't matter. Now, the other issue is are they actually in the land? Well, the problem is if they're not in the land, we've got an issue. Because if the Jews are not in the land, then none of the Jews are being saved. If the Jews are not in the land, then the Bible is clear that God has not started working on their hearts. Because he tells us when he starts dealing with their hearts, they will have already been back in the land. So if any Jew is placing their faith in Christ, or to the most high would have you, however they want to put it, that can only be because there are Jews back in the land. Does that mean that all the Jews that are in the land are Jews? I'm not going to argue that point because ultimately it's not a big deal. It's not a big issue. About how a person don't care if 100% of the Jews, they are actual Jews. If 40% of them are actually true Jews, could care less, could care less. There's a spirit of stupor and a partial heartiness giving them until when the time of the Gentiles has been fulfilled. So is there any meaning in appearances of the Angel of the Lord appearing with a staff? Give me an example. Do me a favor, Douglas. Give me a scripture so I can go look. I haven't even thought about that. I haven't even thought about that. So give me a scripture that I can go look up and see. What's the difference between a gospel singer and a worship leader? Should a gospel singer be a worship leader? Well, nowadays, probably not much of a difference. A gospel singer is pretty much you think of someone who's getting paid like a Kirk Franklin worship. Excuse me. Worship leaders, they get paid now to sing on albums and so forth. Should a gospel singer be a worship leader? They should. Anyone that's singing for the Lord should be leading worship, should be just we're watching them worship, we're listening them worship, but they thought it was the case. So what should be and what is is not always the same. What do the pearls mean in Matthew 7-6? Do not give what is holy to the dogs and let's go back a little further. This is him speaking about judging us now. So after that, he says about judging and seeing what's truly in a brother's eye versus what's also in yours. He says, do not give what is holy to dogs and do not throw your pearls before swine, or they will trample them under their feet and turn and tear you to pieces. The holy could be, could be speaking of the gospel. You could also, I would have a problem with it if you use this kind of in terms of just good wisdom, sound advice. You've all have tried to tell someone who is just dead set on listening, you give them something valuable and what do they do? Yeah, whatever. So sometimes, sometimes I would have a problem with you equating that. I really wouldn't. I really would not. So, but I would say more likely in this case, probably salvation, but you can apply that to virtually any piece of good wisdom. Could the account of Lot, Genesis 19.5 show that angels can turn human sense. Men want to lie with them and saw angels. Okay, now they didn't turn to human, they didn't become human. They just looked, they looked like men. Okay, we don't know what their, what their physical makeup was. We don't know what the DNA of these angelic beings were, but clearly they had a physical presence. The problem is we just don't know enough about angels and that's the other thing. We get into the weeds and try to figure out what angels are. If you want to do a deep dive or deep study on angels, angelology and demonology and so forth, it's one of the studies that has the least amount of biblical references for you to cover. And oftentimes what ends up happening is people end up guessing. Well, I think this and I think that, I don't think that would prove though that they could, that prove anything about the Nephilim or prove anything about Jude and so forth. I wouldn't, I wouldn't say that. What do I think about generational curses? I think there are no generational curses. Generational curses were given to, to Israel. The reason why, that's the only place we find generational curses or the concept of being brought up. But remember though, there was this old proverb, that's a true proverb, that the children's teeth are set on edge because the father's ate sour grapes. But then Jeremiah tells him that that will no longer be the case going forward. There'll be this new covenant and then it says that the sins of the father will not be on the sons, that he will be the son will be responsible for his own sins. So therefore, generational curses, there are no such things as generational curses. When people say that, that is because they just simply don't understand the scripture or even try to read the scriptures. Now, could there be generational consequences? Whereas the father was irresponsible with the money and the family, because of that, there were consequences. The family lived in abject poverty or people didn't grow up knowing how to handle money. The father was abusive and cussing and so forth. And so the children grew up that way, thinking it was okay, that's how they learned. And then if that's how they learned, then what would their grandchildren be? Well, that's not a cursed consequence. It's an issue of choice. So if all scripture is the inspired word of God, why can't I, I'm sorry, why am I not reminded of everything he said? John 1426. Let's go to John 1426. Now, here's the issue. I want you to listen to this. But the helper, the Holy Spirit whom the father will send in my name, he will teach you all things and bring to remembrance all that I said to you. Question. Who is the you that Jesus is speaking to? He's not speaking to us. He's speaking to the disciples. He's telling, remember in John 14, 15 and 16, Jesus is getting ready to leave. He's preparing them, telling them that he is going to die. Then he's telling them that the Holy Spirit is going to come and live in them and they will be his witnesses. Then he goes on and acts, tells them that they will be his witnesses and that they will witness of him in Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria, and to the rest of the world. So he's talking to the disciples. Now, do we, does some of that also happen for us? Sure. But in terms of remembering all they taught us, that's not what the scripture says, scripture is not talking about that he's, that we will remember everything that he taught us because he's not speaking about us in that case. We don't remember oftentimes everything that we read. So that's the reason why Jeff says, hope this is simple, easy, more and likely it's not Jeff, but do you see any significance to the number of fish mentioned in John 21, 111? The 153 doesn't seem to just arbitrarily be bitching. No, as a matter of fact, here's what's funny. Here's what's funny, Jeff. I heard, so let's go to the passage. I heard someone preach this one time and I just shook. Simon went up and drew the net and to land full a large fish, 153. And although there were so many, the net was not torn. So the question is, does this 153 mean anything? We don't know. We don't know. Here's the thing. If it does have some sort of numeric, numerical matter, if it means something, the Bible didn't tell us. And people are always, these numerologies are always trying to find the, this number means this, this number means that. Well, I've never heard anyone say what the number 153 is, but one guy did because always going to be one guy that's going to put it together. And I've seen people say that, you know, one plus five plus three, 15 plus three, 15 minus. I've seen all sorts of ways to go, the Bible didn't tell us. And so I'm not going to exceed what is written. So that's what I would say. This thing works so well when she goes to Mark and just push that. And then she just shuts up. She just, oh, she marked again. Oh, I see what it is. I'm looking out the door. And it is package Santa Claus, Amazon. So I don't know why she hates Amazon. That's who brings her stuff. Neland says, John 16, 14, seems on the service, says the spirit will tell us the future. What's this for the 12? Let's go to John 16. 16, 14. We're in John a lot today. We are in John a lot today. Okay. Remember now, this is, I just said Jesus speaking in John type of 14, 15, 16. He's speaking now. That would mean that everything that he says in John 14, 15, 16 only applies to the disciples, but that's who he's speaking to and he's speaking as he's preparing them what's going to happen. But he says, he will glorify me for he will take of mine and disclose it to you. All things that the father has our mind. Therefore, I said that he takes of mine and will disclose to you. In this case, he's, he's speaking about salvation. Okay. He'll glorify me. That's what the Holy Spirit is going to do. And he will take of mine. That is what God is going to do through him, by him, for him, and disclose it to you to the disciples. Why? Because what are they going to do? Remember, as he's getting them ready, this all goes into, at the very end of John, he breathes on them, says receive Holy Spirit. They don't receive it yet, but they're going to. In Acts one, he tells them that in just a few days, you're going to receive the Holy Spirit. And what's going to happen, you'll be my witnesses. And then in Acts two, we see that. And then we see it coming with power as well. So that's what he's speaking out here. Amen. Amen. By the way, Ray, Douglas, did you have a chime back in? Let me, let me type in, see if Douglas chime back in. I'm still looking for a little bit better clarification on your question, Douglas. So if he's still there, if you're still here, Douglas, I think I'm moving pretty quickly. What can I do to prepare myself for seminary? I hope to God to begin my journey at Southern California. Amen. This year, even if it's one class, I would say this. Me personally, I haven't been in school. Let me ask you a question. Let me ask you a question, Justin. How old are you? We're friends here. We're family here. How old are you, Justin? I think that would help. Me? I'm not a spring chicken. You might still be a spring chicken. Some of you guys are, we got spring chickens here. We got some people that are just yolks and eggs. We got some people that have gotten a little bit older, no longer spring chickens or baked chickens. Some folks are real old. Some folks are way up there and just, you're not spring chicken. You're not even baked chicken. You're fried. You just fried. That's some of us. I'm getting closer and closer to being fried. Right now, I'm just a baked chicken. But because I haven't been in school in so long, I've taken seminary courses, as a matter of fact, and sat down, but it wasn't the same. It wasn't where everything is regimented out and so forth. And there's a procedure about doing things and the way you write papers and all that stuff. It's different. When I was at Texas Tech, they tell you, this is what you got to do. Here's your syllabus. Now do it. You don't want to do it. Okay, fine. They're a little bit different with seminary. They care a little bit more about you. They don't care. If they could care less if you graduate, as long as you, as long as your check clears, as long as you get the financial aid. So I would say this, start off a little slow. Start off slower. Take one or two classes. Get your feet wet. JC, deep fry. You're not deep fry, are you? Chris has said, I'm young in the timeline of eternity. You know what? Y'all sound like old people trying not to be old. That's what you sound like. You sound like old people not trying to be, yeah. Anyway, I would say go slow, take a few classes, one or two, for the first semester, get used to it. And then, all right, I see what they expect. I see how to do the work and so forth. And then go from there. And then go from there. Amen. That's what I would do. Matter of fact, that's what I'm doing. Because my issue with this seminary has not been, has not been the work. It's not that. Now, you do have to do a lot of reading and a lot of writing, but it's just kind of how they do things procedurally. And working with their technology and so forth. And, yeah, it's just weird. It's just, it's just weird. So, did you know that David Jeremiah and Charles Stanley, okay, let me ask you a question, Jamie. Here's my question, Jamie. By the way, Jamie, are you, are you male or female? I don't know. But why do you say David Jeremiah and Charles Stanley are false teachers? And I want to know, I want you to, I want you to do as quickly as you can, chime back in and say why you think they are false teachers. And I'm going somewhere with that. So I really want you to chime back in and say, this is why they are. Now, there are some people that call them false teachers and they don't give an adequate reason. There's one person, because Jordan Riley said that. Well, don't listen, don't do that. Jordan Riley has a nice young man or younger man, I'm not sure how young he is. But if you, it seems, it seems that if you're not Calvinist or you're not reformed or you're not reformed Baptist, then you don't get the sample approval. I don't know that to be the case or not. I don't know. I don't know. But he has said that David Jeremiah is a fault. No, he's not. What's the false teaching that he's given? Now, his impunity of David Jeremiah, I think, like others have been because he was associated with TBN and doing fundraising and so forth. Okay, fine. I think personally, especially in hindsight, that that was that was not wise. Now, let me also say this, YouTube, yeah, Andy Stanley is a heretic, but Charles, YouTube took off a lot under COVID. Folks are at home and so when you're Christian, you're listening to all this stuff and your senses and your sensitivity gets heightened. Okay, so much so that you're looking for who the false teacher is and we end up looking for who the other people say is a false teacher. And if people don't say things the way we say it the right way we say it, well, then that person's false. I would say that most of what people say, most cases when people call somebody false, I'm not saying him, but in most cases when other folks are calling other people false teachers and they're not even one of the scriptures themselves, they don't know what a false teacher is. They don't know what a heretic is. There's one guy got into it. I was explaining what a heretic is, what the actual term and I'm gonna do that. You know, I'll cover that. What a heretic is. It's not what people think it is. Andy, David Jeremiah is not a false teacher by any metric, by any metric, nor is Charles Stanley. I mean, unless you can find the tip of what he said, what he preached. And sometimes we want to make someone guilty by association. In this case, David Jeremiah because of his association with TBN. Charles Stanley because of association with his son, Andy Stanley. Well, that's his son. Tony Evans because of his association with his daughter. That's his daughter. And what do you say with transnationalism? Well, listen, you find the person that you, listen, I love, I love John McCarthy, but John McCarthy was the one that spoke about the mark of the beast and the blood. And he hasn't had a retraction on that now. Does that mean he's a false teacher? No, he's not a false teacher. He's a, excellent teacher who has the ability and has the right to be wrong on something just like you and I, just like Jordan Riley. Jordan Riley is wrong on some things as well. It's just a fact. And I'm not trying to impugn him, but Jordan Riley does not do deep dives in the scriptures. I'm not saying they can't. I'm not saying that, but if you're not going to give me a deep dive in the passage, and why this person is why he's wrong and so forth, well, then I'm not going to listen. You tell me who a false teacher is. Okay? I think what's happening is we get in the habit of calling everybody a false teacher without, and if everybody's a false teacher, but you don't give us a reason why, well, then why should I listen to you if you're not going to tell me why and give me the, and I don't need a five minute video. I need a whole lot more. Now there's something that is just obvious, just obvious. I'm going to show you a video tomorrow. Wow. When I say I want to show you one of the dumbest and demonic preachers, this is, it's amazing. And you know what we're going to do? We're going to look at the scriptures. Now that might, that might get me, that might land me on the next video. I hope it doesn't. You know, again, I don't have, I really don't have anything against Jordan Riley. I really don't think, I may, am I subscribed? I don't even know if I'm subscribed. Let me see. I, I got a ton of subscriptions and I have no idea. Let me see. Let me see if I am subscribed to this, to this brother. One second. Uh oh, somebody's got another hit piece coming up tonight. Okay. No problem. Is it? Well, okay. Oh, no, no, I'm sorry. This hit piece, it's not about me. I thought it was about me. I'm sorry. Where are my subscriptions is Jordan Riley there? Let's see. Let's see. Let's see. Manage. I'm sorry. Do that. Okay. Let's see. Is Jordan Riley on here? Oh, you know, all I have to do is just type in Jordan Riley. How about that? And then I'll see if I'm, if I'm subscribed. No, I'm not. No, I'm not, but I do, but I, but I have seen this stuff. I have seen this stuff. I'm not, I'm not subscribed, but you don't have to be subscribed to somebody on YouTube. YouTube was still recommended if you haven't watched your stuff at any time. But anyway, the point is, I like the guy, but I think sometimes it kind of gets in the habit of saying who's false, who's not and so forth. And those that tend to be the ones, the one he did the other day, they were all the same people. And I don't think it's an issue, but it can be an issue. Someone said, well, hey, listen, all the folks you did, they're all white. They're all reformed Baptists or Calvinists. What have you, what, what gives? I don't, I was, I'm not all that cool with the, with the racial part, but something I didn't see. I saw that comment because I saw that comment and I went back to see because, you know, see if he's going to answer it. That comment was deleted. Okay. I get deleting comments. I get sometimes you need to, but I think you got to do more. And to put, if you're going to say that David Jeremiah is a false teacher, it ends up impugning your character. Yeah, he did call it. He called that, yeah, Sheila. He called Seiko correct, didn't he? But if you're going to do that, then it ends up impugning your character, not your character, but your discernment. Everybody's not a false teacher that makes a statement, even if a statement's false. Or here's one, because I supported or did a fundraise with TBN, if I'm, if I want to keep TBN going and I'm on this platform, can I ask you guys a question? How many YouTubers, how many folks on YouTube have a vested interest in making sure that YouTube keeps going? Who, who's more diverse? TBN or YouTube? YouTube's pretty bad. But we utilize, I mean, we're all literally on YouTube right now. So all we're doing, we're just using these highways that's been afforded to us. Amen. What is the best way to witness to self-righteous Christians? What verse would you give them to prove that salvation is by faith in Christ the well, there is no way, no, no singular or great way to witness to a self-righteous Christian. Like the pastor only don't throw your pro before the swine. In many cases, you probably can't, you don't need to. How do you tell someone who, remember Jesus says, I didn't come to to save those that are well, the righteous, the unrighteous who I came for, the sick, that's who I came for. You have no need of a physician. And they knew that, they believed that. And so they had no need of Christ. They didn't think they did, but they did. All you can do is all you can do. So when you guys are out there witnessing or sharing the gospel, all you can do was all, one of the things that used to just bother me when I, and it didn't bother me, but it just kind of pushed me and motivated me almost to the point that if I had kept them at the same pace, I'd have killed myself. I was always out with, I mean, witnessing, witnessing, witnessing. If you sent me to the grocery store, so I went to the corner store or gas station, I'm sharing the gospel because I wanted people to be saved. The problem is though, one, if you do it so hard, naturally it's got to be a follow-up to your witnessing, right? Person says they place their faith in Christ. Well, how do I know? You want to follow, because you don't want to put a baby out there in the cold alone. You want to make sure that they're growing and being nurtured. But because you're so intently focused on getting as many folks in place of faith in Christ, you get so caught up in it and then you forget that this is not me. I don't save anybody. The ball, one plants another water, but who? God gives the increase. And so make sure you don't put the pressure on yourself. The pressure is squarely on God. If God, if they're going to get saved, it's up to you. You're using me. I'm doing my part. I'll keep doing my part. But if Bob don't get saved, hey, God, that ain't on me. It's on you. God, that's not being, that's not being wrong or simple. God knows and you know it's on God. I can't make a person get saved. I can give him the gospel and that's that. I can plant or I can be the one that's watery. And after that, that's it. In peoples, what or can you explain in Revelation 21-7 that mentions about cowards? Yeah, this, this, I've heard this past before that cowards are going to hell and it's usually by a coward that would say something like that. It's usually by a coward that says, anyway, let's go to Revelation 21 because it's not what it seems. Matter of fact, did I, you know, wait a second Doug, I can even do you better. Let me hold on one second. I could probably, I know I can do you better. Let's see. Let's see. Hold on. Where is this thing at? It's here somewhere. Cory. Oh, slide it over. That's why I can't see it. Hold on. I want to give you the, I want to give you the actual video to go to. There's a video that I did about cowards. Did I do that? Coward. Oh, it would help if you spell coward right. Yeah. Do all cowards go to hell? Let's see if I can find this. The link. There it is. And then let me come over here and let me do this rather than, look at me. There's a link right there. Okay. So check out, just show up, make sure it popped up. There it is. So check out that particular video in pebbles. It's not the state. Let's put it on the screen now. He who overcomes will inherit these things and I will be his God and he will be my son. But for the cowardly and the unbelieving and abominable, well, these are the people that will succumb and are so afraid to trust in Christ. They will have taken the mark. They will bow down to the creature. They will bow down to the God of this world. That's, those are the cowards. It's not, not someone that's just scared for their life. No. So, but anyway, you check out that particular video. Amen. 49ers are chiefs. You know what? I'm going for the 49ers. Who knows? I think I'll go for the 49ers. I want to see the 49ers win. I want to see Brock Purdy do it. I want to see this. The man is open about his faith. I hope he is. I hope he's genuine. I would like to see the 49ers win. I like, I don't want to see dynasties. I want to see a team go back. I want to see it go back and forth. And since the chiefs have already won, I want, I want someone else to, now granted the 49ers have won a billion championships. So, but what the heck? One more ain't gonna hurt. But I think I'm going for the chiefs. Now, the question is, the real question is, and I called my wife up, said, I acted as though it was an emergency. It was an emergency. I said, we got a problem. Soon as you get this text, call me back. Call me back. It's very important ASAP. And so when I talk to her, I said, we got a problem. So what is it, honey? Well, we got to figure out what's for Superbowl. I want some nachos, maybe some wings, not going to do pizza, but some nachos, wings, and something else. We got to, we got to figure out what we're going to need. So the question is, ladies and gentlemen, here is the question. I'll answer a few more questions, but here's the main question. What are you folks eating for the Superbowl? And if you're not watching Superbowl, just delete your social media accounts. If you're not, I don't care if you don't like football. If you're not watching Superbowl, you're not an American. You are an illegal immigrant. That's what you are. You just came across the border. If you don't watch Superbowl, is there a point where I can come, where I can't come back to God? I feel like I've failed a good question, T. Very good question. There is no point of no return. The only people who cannot be redeemed are those who God has deemed that they cannot be redeemed. I want you all to hear me. Every one of us, God has determined that we can be redeemed. Now everyone else who's in Christ, you can never go too far. As a matter of fact, you cannot fall away. You can feel like you have. Why do you feel like you've fallen away if you actually have placed your faith in Christ? Why? Because you've done some things. You've seen there's a distance and a disconnect between you and God that naturally feels bad. Let me ask you a question, T. Do you have any children? Or are you married? Do you have parents? When you are disconnected, there's just a natural longing to be close to them. That's just how it is. We've all missed either someone or something. Well, even more so, God, if you are His and you spend time away from Him, there is a natural yearning. Your spirit is vexed, so to speak. You have you have quenched the spirit. You have disturbed because He in you wants a natural closeness with the Father, but there's never a point of no return with Him. Amen. Amen. Now, got to go back to the question. Got to go back to the question. Who in here is not? Regina says, I'll be watching the usher concert. Okay, well, that's fine. Listen, that's part of the Super Bowl. Who is not watching? Who is not watching Super Bowl? Why don't you preach what Peter preached? I do. I do. I preach that repent, be baptized, and see the Holy Spirit. Because I have a tool that some don't have, they can have, it's open to anyone that is this Greek. I will use it, and I understand. I see what he's saying here. Wait a second. Wait a second. Wait a second. Are you telling us you are not going to watch? Listen, just say you are and don't. Just watch a little bit of it. Just watch a little. By the way, as anyone, J, not you, Wendy, what is going on? Paul said the time will come when people will not endure sound Super Bowl watching. Sheila, I'm not watching. Man, that is crazy. I thought I answered your question, Jamie. I literally just answered your question, Jamie. That is blasphemy. Denise is going to watch it, and she's an Australian. Look at that. You dog on Americans or something. America ain't what it used to be. America ain't what it used to be. Man, that's crazy. Wow. What did you say? You're not. Tracy called the Super Bowl a great distraction. It's like mom and apple pie. Not baseball, but the Super Bowl. Listen, you guys should just go to a Super Bowl party just to hang out with your friends. You even got to watch the game. Now, with me, I don't want folks watching the game with me because I didn't do too much talking. I don't mind if you watch the game with me. Just don't distract me from the game. And then I'm hoping I'm praying. I'm praying. I'm praying. I'm going to anoint the TV with oil. I'm going to be charismatic and anoint the TV. I bet someone has done that too. Actually took oil and anointed their TV and then messed it up. But I'm going to anoint the TV. Hopefully that the Super Bowls, not the Super Bowl, but the commercials would return to their former glory. Remember when the commercials on the Super Bowl used to be good? Now the commercials are horrible. They attempt to be funny. They're not funny. They're too left-leaning and too liberal or whatever. Everybody gets something. Something gay is going to be on these commercials. The halftime show. Oh, pistol-peat. I'm not saying there are things about Jordan Riley that's wrong. I do think that some of the points that he's made about certain folks being false teachers, I think that might be just too overzealous to call someone a false teacher. Tell somebody why they're a false teacher. And again, David Jeremiah is not a false teacher by any metric. Charles Sandlin, why is he a false teacher? Tony Evans, why? I saw his deal on why Tony Evans is. No, he's not. Has he taught something false? Sure. Who hasn't? Alrighty. I'm going to take a couple more questions. I'm going to answer your question. I'm going to answer your question. Wait a second. Where's your question? I don't see your question. Thank you for the Super Chat, though, Ms. FS. I don't see your question. Let me type it in. Type your name. Wait a minute. Okay, I'm not seeing it. I'm not seeing it. Okay, there it is. There it is. I see it. I see it. I see it. I'm sorry. I saw you. Thank you, by the way, for the Super Chat. I saw that, but you didn't put the question with it. So I didn't see that. Okay, I'm sorry. Let there be light. And there was light. What is the light that is a reference in the verse? The sun, the moon weren't created. And I, someone said this the other day that he wasn't too sure that it was a literal six day creation. Didn't think that it was a literal six day creation because the sun hadn't been created yet. The sun and the moon hadn't been created yet. So my statement, I thought, what does that have to do with the day? A day, especially as far as we're concerned, has nothing to do with whether the sun is there or not. Now, obviously, we need the sun to be there and we need the moon to be there. But if there was still light and we still had our gravitational pull and so forth, it's still a day. If the sun was replaced by another source of light, it's still a day. If it is, if the moon's not there, same thing. Now, what was the light? The light can only be one thing. The light can only be, and I should say it's not one thing, but one person that be Jesus, the actual light of the world. Who will, by the way, in the revelation, we're told that he will be the one that will give us light forever. So are you saying, Jerry, that I ascribe to the sinner's prayer? Because I don't think I do. Now, if someone were to ask me what can I, if I want to say something, because sometimes you just want to say something. But does that mean that I ascribe to the sinner? I don't ascribe to the sinner's prayer. If a person gives a prayer as their place in the faith in Christ, I don't have a problem with that either because the prayer neither takes them to Christ or takes them away from Christ. It neither validates nor invalidates their faith in Christ. Oh, he said, okay, no, okay. Please answer what questions? Oh, okay, I see. Okay, guys, stop doing that. You guys, I want to answer a question, but I want to help you guys help me out. Thank you, Douglas. I see it. No, no, okay. You said, hold on. I'll come back to you in just a second, for a million. But no, Tony Evans, I think people, now I know this because I was a former member of his church. So I know what the church teach. I know what he teaches. Tony Evans is not, hey, you got to give the sinner's prayer. No, your faith in Christ is what it is. If you happen to give the sinner's prayer, or if you lead someone in the sinner's prayer, that's fine also. We have, we have literally began to vilify it, not you, but we have began to vilify everything. You can't, no one can come to the altar. No one can say a prayer to be, okay. And then when I ask the question of all the people that are in the chats, how many of you all place your faith in Christ before folks in church? I mean, that's what saves you, but you did. Or how many of you all said the sinner's prayer, but you're still safe? Obviously, the sinner's prayer didn't do it, but you, like I did. I was saved prior to that because my acknowledgement, my faith in Christ preceded that, but me saying that, what did it do? It kind of made me feel good, like, okay, as a young, immature, not knowing Christian, hey, I'm safe because I said that because I, and I believe that. As I got older, I realized, hey, that's not, just like when we say, you can invite Christ into your heart. We say that and it is sometimes helpful for the, the new Christians, the unbelievers, I mean, the believers who don't know anything, but a point of fact, you don't invite Christ to your heart. He invites you into him and then he chooses you, then you choose him. So, but full million says, by the way, he says, please answer these questions, Brother Corey. If you put the question there, like, here's full million's question. If you put it with that, it's, it's easier because then I have to go and look for it. Cause sometimes I only see you saying, Hey, could you please answer my question? What church denomination do you feel is closest to being the accurate none? But I would say, I wouldn't say that. I wouldn't say, Hey, Southern Baptist are or Reform Baptist are or Presbyterian. I can't say that. First of all, a lot of times some of these churches in these denominations, sometimes a one particular church can move away from that. And so I wouldn't, I would never say that what you want to do is, you want to find a pastor that preaches the scripture. Now I don't care if he, if he, if he, if he preaches topically and expi, expositionally, hopefully he knows how to expise the passages, even if he's going over topics. And I say he, make sure he's a he, but he'd need to have some exposition to his scriptures. He needs to be able to cut through the words and tell you what does it mean. Not always interested in giving a topic. Hey guys, let's talk about love today. Let's talk about puppies and bunnies. Now I want, what does the text say? Let's go through that. So that's what you want to look for. And then you want to find someone that's loving a family. Amen. And they're plenty out there. There are, there are plenty out there. It bothers me when folks say, let's put this way. I can appreciate people trying to find a good church, but if you're in a large city, and I know it's harder in New York, but still there are some in New York, Chicago, LA, a lot of good churches in LA, LA, LA area. What's the fourth? Houston. You can't find a church in Houston or you can't find a church in Dallas. You can't find a church in Indianapolis. You can't find a church in Denver. You can't find a church in Arizona. Yes, you can. Yes, you can. Now, I understand that you might see the bad churches more often, but the good churches are there as well. God is the, remember the gates of hell will not prevail against this church. So they're there. Look for a church like you look for a job. You wouldn't, you wouldn't say, you know, I can't find a job. I haven't found a good job. So I'm going to stop now. So I'm supposed to do that. But no, you want to look for your, look for your church like you look for a job. Some of you guys like you look for a mate. Do that. Is it true? Oh, Cliff includes a home visit in their membership. I'm not sure. I hadn't been there for a while. So I could, could not tell you. I believe that's the case, but I'm not sure. What is the sinner's prayer? What is the sinner's prayer? What is, I'm sorry, y'all doing, what is the sinner's prayer? The sinner's prayer, there is no such thing as the sinner's prayer, but what it really is is here you are. I want, do you want to place your faith in Christ? Sure. Well, they repeat these words. And if you believe them, then you will be safe. Well, that's not what saves you. I understand why people do that. I do because what do I say? How do I know I'm saved in this net? Well, if you just place your faith in Christ, if you just place your faith in Christ, you shall be safe. Amen. So take a couple more questions and then I am through the flag. What's my stance on government pimp daddy marriage license? That's the, that's the law. What is your stance on it? Yeah. Don't listen. Don't don't obey the law and then you not obeying God. It's the law. Don't, don't listen. Don't, you don't have to get a marriage license. Find your state where common law marriage is okay and then you're good to go. But don't try to usurp the laws of the nation just because you don't like them. Yeah. So that, yes, here there are, there are folks that actually do the sinner's prayer and when they do it, it wasn't the prayer that did it, but it was just kind of comforting, but what ultimately kept made them say, was their faith. I'm not advocating, hey, go ahead and do the, you know, I know it says in the Bible that a pastor must be married to one wife. What happens if his, if his wife dies, well, if he dies, he can remarry, divorced, or if he's single. If he's single, is he else will be a pastor? Yes, he's else will be the pastor if he's single. But this is the second one that's tricky. What if he's divorced? Well, there are qualifications to a pastor and the qualifications are what's current. Okay. And so if you, the pastor at that time must qualify at that time. What if he has, what if he's not qualified by something in the past? Well, it's not the past, because that's the case in all pastors, no pastors would be qualified. However, past sins can affect current qualifications. Here's why, because there's one, there's qualifications that you don't have any control of. One, you have to be thought of, well, inside the church and outside of the church. That's not on you. In other words, and I've used example four about Jeffrey Dahmer. If he were alive, they say he places faith in Christ, we don't know, but if he were alive and he got out and Jeffrey Dahmer says, I want to start a church, what are you going to think about? When you think about Jeffrey Dahmer, you're going to think about what he's done, the eating people and so forth. That's what you're going to think about. You're going to think more about that than you are going to think about Christ. And if your past sins are more of a hindrance, if people can't get past that, well then, sorry, there are consequences. Okay. It's one of the issues that was brought up with me. Corey, what about your past sins? I said, what about my past sins? Well, they disqualify you. No, they don't find the passage. They don't. Past sins, if the past sins are before the people and the people can't, they can't see anything, but your past, well, he'll see you. They see your sins. Well, that's an issue. That's a huge issue. If Adolf Hitler were alive and he became a believer and he wants to have a church and so instead of doing this, he's doing this. Y'all see what I did? Y'all see it? That was clever. He wants to do this. No one can get past that. Adolf, yeah, we see you Adolf. You got your one hand up praising God, but it looks like the other way that you were doing and you still got your little mustache. We can't get past that Adolf. Well, that's a problem. Adolf can't be a pastor. He cannot be pastor Hitler. Okay. Can not be bishop. Now he'll probably go out and be a apostle Hitler or bishop Hitler or prophet Hitler and then he'll get 10,000 members. But the issue is, can I get past that sin? So the issue with me, is there, will there be people, could there be, now there's possibly be people that would, that, hey, no, I still think about your particular sin. Now most folks don't. Matter of fact, you know about my sins because I told you about my sins, but by the same token, there are folks that now does that mean that it's 100% across the board? That it nobody, I'm sorry, everybody has to believe in you for you to be a pastor? Well, everyone didn't believe in Christ. There is never going to be a 100% consensus. But at the same time, if that precludes you, that it precludes you, if, if, if you're past. And so the issue is, so the issue is this, or is that person currently thinks that pastor has been divorced? And there, yeah, listen, now I would say this, if the pastor has the more bodies you start racking up, the more that folks are going to start seeing, hey, there's a lack of discernment there. You didn't, you've been married five times. You've got all these different children helps, you know, what, what does that say about you? Yeah, but, but, and all your kids are grown. And so we, yeah, I don't, I don't know. I don't know. That would be that. Now that's up to the people that would want to follow him. But it would be, it'd be very difficult. You've been divorced once and remarried and divorced twice and remarried. It becomes difficult. I don't know. I don't know. You know, once, okay, I get it. You were young. You were, you were 20 or you were 19 or you, whatever, or but now, now does it disqualify you? No, it didn't disqualify you. You can't say that. It's, it's a, the qualifications are current qualifications. So if the pastor has been divorced, that does not mean that he cannot. Now there might be underlying other underlying issues. You have to look at that. So where is Tassie? Is Tassie the name of the place? By the way, what you, what you guys can do is, if, if there are no good churches, I've said this before, if you're in a place where there are no good churches, you can't find one in the meantime, find some good Christians, find some good Christians and just fellowship for the time being and then make it your habit. Make it your, take your little Christian fellowship. Matter of fact, we'll talk about this one next week. Yes. By the way, we're actually going to talk about this one next week, how to find you a good church. How to find you a good church. Find you a group of Christians and begin a little local fellowship. If it's three of you guys, if it's four or five of you guys, okay? Then your mission while you're fellowshiping is to go out and find a church. So maybe the three or four or five of you guys get in your cars and go visit this church this week. Then next week we'll go to that church. And in the meantime, we're doing research. It's like, again, like looking for a job, we're looking. That means we've got to drive 30 minutes to our church. Fine. But in the meantime, we are having fun and fellowship together. Amen. No, Jay, don't just watch YouTube. If you're going to watch this YouTube, watch Smokers channel, but that's on us. But no, you need to be because we're commanding to have this fellowship with the body and they're out there. And maybe you're going to have to find somebody. Maybe you have to bring somebody in. Maybe, maybe you find 40 or 50 or 60 or 100 like-minded folks and then pay to have somebody come in to be the pastor who you can trust. And you said, this is what we're looking for. I've seen that happen before as well. So anyway, yeah, there, there it is. Smart Christian church or visit the website. Thank you, monkey moves for putting that up. We'll talk more about that one tomorrow. So need a guy that can read Greek and Hebrew now. Yeah, we're good. Good. Listen, you should be, you should be ruined. If the pastor, if the pastor can't at least come, how much Corey, if the pastor can't at least look at the Greek and he was like, how can I see that and then delve into it? He'd have to be a scholar, but just look. Okay. I see what that means. I understand the tense and verbs and so forth, the, the case endings, all that. All right. Now I can make it out to maybe a scholar. So yeah. All right, guys, I have got to go. I've got, I've got reading to do, and I've got some relaxing to do. I've got, thank you. You know what? Someone said, of course, I thought you were already, I thought you'd already graduated similar. Well, I took it as a compliment for you to have thought that. So thank you. Um, I have got to go do some reading, but I also have planned on doing some relaxing, which is, I have to do that now. So I answer to my question, sir, Dutch the Bible. All right, let's go to Dutch. Let's see what that says. Where is the Northern Baptist? Well, listen, I don't know how they came with a term with the Southern Baptist. I will say this though. Initially, initially, there was a lot of racism in it. The reason why you have the Southern Baptist and the National Baptist is because blacks were not, were precluded from being with the Southern Baptist. That changed. That changed. They're not like that anymore. Praise God. Praise God for Christians who are the reasons why we don't have slavery and so forth. Let's call it what it is. We're going to talk bad about church. Let's talk about the this of the church is done too. Where you see slavery today, you don't find Christianity. Where you find Islam, you find slavery. That's me shooting my shot at them, but there is no North Baptist. Let's start one. Let's start a new denomination called the Northern Baptist. Northern Baptist. Now, Dutch, you're not blocked. Why do you, you can't be blocked because I see you there. Let's start a new, a new denomination. We're going to, guys, we're going to start the Northern Baptist. We're going to start the Northern Baptist. Now, the question is, do we want to be a biblical denomination or do we want to be a large denomination and got to get a bunch of members and a bunch of money coming in and we can, all of us as, listen, how many of you guys, 200 something folks in here, we can all be founding members of this and we can all live high on the Hawk. All we got to do is we can accept gays, homeless, we, everything, everything. We can, we can, we can swag and surf. We can swag and surf and what man, we'll have, we'll have thousands each day coming. It's kind of church that I want. A little like I said, nah, I'm good. Yeah, we'll go to hell for that. We'll find ourselves in hell. But anyway, but hey, that is, that, you can't tell me, you cannot tell me that is not the way, that is not the way churches are moving. And then guess what? That's little what Jesus said. Jesus, that's, well, that's what God says. That's what Paul says. We're told this is what's, what we see and what you're going to see later on this evening, what you're going to see about 30 minutes after this broadcast is over, you'll see in the community section, you'll see the video, you'll see where we're going. Matter of fact, make sure you, make sure you check the community section of this channel. It'll show up and you'll see where we're heading. You'll see, and it's going to be more, it's going to get worse and it's going to get worse and worser and worse. I know it's not a good word, but it's going to get worse and worser to one day it'll become the worserist that it could possibly be. And then the Lord comes back. So in the meantime, guys, my family is doing all kinds of stuff around me. So let me go and check on them. Let me go take me a break and go drink me something other than this coffee. I'm tired of coffee. I got a full cup of coffee. Drink some water. I've been, I've been pushing myself back on my workout and I've got to drink some more water and then want to relax. So anyway, in the meantime, I love you guys. I've got a couple announcements on tomorrow, a few videos, but make sure you watch this other video this evening. I think I'm almost sad to even have this video. I'm almost sad to have this video, but it is what it is. In the meantime, guys, love you. See you all later.
