 There we go. There we go. You all didn't hear me. You all didn't hear me I was trying to say to you guys first of all, how are you all doing? Hope y'all doing wonderful. Hope y'all doing well You know what I think I think maybe it's just me. I could be a bit biased but When the red intro starts up, it just does something to me Does it does does the red intro move you guys when you hear the red intro? Do you just a little pep in your step? Do you feel like something else is getting ready to happen? Not not to say the Lord is moving I'm not gonna go that far be blasphemous, but dog on it still makes you feel good, right? I don't care what anyone says that you couldn't convince me that is not the best intro on YouTube I think in the history of of the world. I think it's the best intro in the history of the world So anyway How are you all doing? Well, I mean, I hope you're all doing well I've got some pretty good news some interesting news I have been discussed talking with some people today going, you know doing my little thing and I have got a few guests that are lined up and are getting lined up And I mean for the next week and so if I have two guests ready to come Next week one matter of fact Alton, you'll be happy to hear this as well All you Calvinistical people will be happy to hear this. Who do you all think is going to be here on next week? It'd be you guys are gonna love it. It's gonna be wonderful. It's gonna gonna absolutely bless you guys So who do you think we're gonna have here next week? And I think I think you're gonna I think you all are gonna absolutely enjoy it Did you go to love it the person's coming on Matter of fact, I just got through seeing the last text and so we're working on it Justin Peters is close We're working on that setting up a time. So hopefully soon hopefully in the next week or two Mike Todd would happy listen. Let me just say this if Mike Todd came on I'm gonna take the rest of the month off if Mike Todd came on taking the rest of month off Because that would just mean something's happening No, late in flowers is gonna be here on next week gonna have late in flowers here on next week And hopefully we can move through some things and even give you guys an opportunity 15 minutes or so at the end to ask some questions. I think some of the questions that you guys are gonna ask I will already have as well Then I am going to have a brother who I think some of you guys have now I don't call myself a dispensation list although I do have a dispensational Hermann Udyk But there's another brother Who is going to be on he is a professor at a seminary? doctorate and he has written extensively about Dispensationalism and really how new it is. There's this thought that This is a fairly new thing and that this is just was just invented in the last Couple centuries that's that couldn't be further from the truth. And so There are a few more I won't say who else is in the pipeline who else is in the workings because I want to make sure that I get some Get some more information. There's a few other names that that I think that That I think you guys will be interested in seeing and hearing from and then of course on the other channel There's a few things you guys are going to enjoy over over there Also, make sure you guys couple things. I'd be I'd be Wrong if I did not go ahead and mention this as well That is Make sure you got guys go over and check out the website go over there and kind of mosey along and see what's happening Also, the the the deal with the find the church. We are adding churches and so you'll see some Oh, I don't know why this thing keeps popping up. Don't allow This we're adding churches as we go. And so you'll see quite a few hundred more As we get on and so if you're in the market for a church, even if we don't have a church For you if you're looking for a church, whatever area in send a text not a text You know, you better not send a text. You don't have my number to send me a text But send an email send an email. Here's the email. Do not send it Well, you can still send an email you can still send an email to smart Christian channel at Gmail You can also send an email to info at smart Christians or either one of those And you say I'm looking for a church and I'm in the Baltimore area or I'm in the Philadelphia area What have you I'm the in the Chattanooga area, okay? And we will sit now by the way on this the churches We do not say that we recommend them These are just some that we think that might be okay But once you find out if you see something that you don't like that is wrong that it's kind of off Let us know okay We're not vouching for them and then also if there are churches that you know what this church needs to be on there Please let us know Daryl has already done so and so I've added I've added I think most of the ones you sent Daryl and some other folks have sent some other ones And so we'll add those as well. So again mosey on over to the website By the way one last thing that we've got the Bible studies on there I did mention that the Bible studies will be back on the first Saturday of the month It will not it'll be the next Saturday of the month the reason why why Corey you promised Well, here's the reason why because I got a hot date in the morning That's why my wife and I are going out In the morning and so therefore I'm gonna have to move you guys to the side This is she's a teacher. This is her last Saturday before she has to go back and deal with these kids So anyway, also back to the website If you want to and I'm highlighting this because I don't usually do so I don't ask you guys to give That's not the thing that I'm at interesting in I'm fine whether you give or not But what I'm asking you all to give for is something else There are children there are youth out there that we are supporting. They're also inmates and People in different countries who need Bibles and study materials and so when you give on this channel Either on this channel directly or if you give on the website or if you join patreon it goes in And now if you want to give to me directly The only way that you can do so is on the other channel by Super Chat or Super Thanks, that's it over here it goes to To the organization and so if you want to and one of the ways you can do so is by going if you want to buy a shirt Or buy a t-shirt or what have you? Feel free to do so you can pick whatever your your size and what have you pick the color that you want all that kind of Good stuff or you can just go ahead and make your own little design So I'll let you guys kind of play around with that on your own There are there is going to be some updating to the website But we want to go ahead and get the thing up and then and then Fix whatever we need to fix later. There's still some little things we need to iron out. Okay, so that being the case Also, you're gonna see more more Content on patreon, there'll be at least four or five more Uploads within the next day or so on patreon that you'll only see on patreon the patreon level same thing If you if you give to that that also goes towards the ministry. I'm highlighting that normally not normally wouldn't And a matter of fact in about a few days, you won't hear me really speaking much about this, but it's still relatively new But there are different levels. There's now a five-dollar level. There's a 10 a 20 a 50 and 100 Everyone gets the exact same thing and if you don't have it or don't want to fine You can join for free you can join for free So get the exact same thing so you don't have to and what do you get for free? The same thing the person gives for five dollars for ten dollars What have you all of that goes towards making sure that people in other countries and inmates prisoners get Bibles and study material as Well, amen. Amen again, so it's not it's not to make Corey rich because I'm fine I am I am fine now. I'd like to be rich. I would love I'd love to be rich But that is not a desire of mine anymore So that will you have more have merch available to there is some on the on the on the website as a matter of fact I think before the weekend's over with the store will also be connected to the to the channel as well So both of those should be you should be able to get it on the channel as well as on the website And again, I did not want to come out and just start asking folks to donate Although I don't have a problem with anyone else asking for support. I think that's wonderful I think it's absolutely wonderful But I wanted to make sure that when I did so that there was something For you to support to benefit someone else. Amen. So that's been the case and someone asked am I a pastor? No, not yet. I do plan on it is my goal to plant a church. I'm not exactly sure When maybe a year from now, maybe two years from now, who knows However, I am pretty secure. I'm pretty confident that is going to be in the DFW area I thought that possibly doing it here. Well, we've got a ton of churches here. So why well, there's a bunch of bad churches I make fun of Atlanta because Atlanta is horrible if there's a lot of bad church, it's not a good church in Atlanta Let me say that there are a lot of good churches in Atlanta as well But right now Atlanta is kind of on the scene, but that doesn't mean that Dallas is far away because remember who's here in Dallas Yeah, you've got Bishop William Murphy. We got Bishop TD Jakes. So So anyway, anyway, let me go ahead and start jumping into these questions as always I will not be able to get to all of you guys Your questions. I'll do the very best that I can Let me go ahead and answer first off some of the questions that were submitted previously in the Houston area you would Some things there are no good churches in the Houston area, but there are as a matter of fact The the two states will work. Well, one of the two states we're working on right now is Texas And so before the end of by Saturday, you'll have a bunch of church to choose from On in Houston. Amen So that being the case, let's go ahead and jump into some of the questions. Where are they the first? Let me make this bigger so I can see Because I'm getting older And these glasses these glasses don't work like they used to as well as I used to anyway Spider monkey asks a good question The question is what is the question? Oh, can the Greek term play oh And then here's what's funny. Here here is what's funny. This is what spider monkey. Did you put that question back in again? Here's this the question spider funny thing the spider monkey did spider monkey not only spelled it out in kind of the uh, the english way of putting it but then phonetically poi a oh Help me out with with the greek Thank you But does word play oh also mean practice in ax 16 30 uh when the jailer said what must I do to be safe? So let's go to ax 16 30 Where is it? Do I have it up? No, I don't have to type it in ax 16 30 ax 16 30 and let me remove this really that's right in my eyes. Okay, cool All right ax 16 30 let's put on the screen and after he brought them out He said sirs, what must I do to be safe? Well, what does where is spider monkey getting this whole thing about? Practicing remember the question is When the jailer said what must I do or practice to be safe? Well, here's here's where spider monkey gets that from Uh Chi pro I got I got gone One thing that greek will do is give you a bunch of syllables in their words So so chi pro I got going out twos x o f a what must I do to be safe? Curioi Te mi de it is necessary. And here's the word poiain henna Sotho Well the in order to be safe the henna sotho that's a in order to be safe What should I do? And here's what spider monkey's asking poiain henna with a poiain it comes from the word poi a oh which is to do But poiain can mean other things there's there's nuances to the words And so in this case it can mean to do to make to work and it can be used to kind of practice Now if you notice this is in this verb is in the infinitive and so the an infinitive kind of Connotes kind of a state and I don't want to use it. I don't I'm trying to give it the best way I can So you guys kind of understand I understand it It kind of connotes a state of doing something It's like an ongoing thing but not really an ongoing thing. It's not a participle But does it mean to practice? No, he's not saying that in order to be safe. You must what must I be practicing to be safe That's the question that's being asked What must I be practicing to be safe doesn't it doesn't say it's not it's not to be used that saying What do I have to do what has to happen in order to be safe? That's that's all in them. Of course, he says believe in the lord Pestu son at pay time curious. So believe upon the lord Jesus And you will be saved you and as he says Ha Oikasu your whole house or your house. Amen. Amen Let me click on some of these questions Next question Berean Apologies to ask Cory based on Luke 9 1 and 2 Jesus empowered all 12 disciples to cast out demons and heal including Judas who we know wasn't safe So does this power or something? I'm sorry. So does this prove that such a person today can have this power? Well Not necessarily Not necessarily because he empowered them. He gave them authority now. Are we to say let's go to it because a matter of fact 9 Luke 9 Well, hold on I was gonna go to Luke 10 And he called the 12 together and he gave them power and authority over all the demons and to heal diseases So implicit in him giving them power. I don't know how that looks how that works Was this a temporary thing? Was this an ongoing thing? I would assume that it's probably an ongoing thing. He wouldn't he would not have rescinded that uh, and so the question is Does such a power does this prove that such a person can have this power today power over demons? Well, there's something that's different now something very interesting that happened in between Luke 9 and today What happened between Luke 9 and today the cross and then after the cross subsequent to that is the the the holy spirit and so The power that we have today Would be different than let's say the power that others outside of the disciples the apostles had then Okay, now the apostles Say what you want to say Their power was different than everyone else's they came with a certain amount of power that others just did not have There are those that might want to include themselves in having that power, but they just did not what the apostles had Different as remember Jesus makes a statement that um, I give upon this profession of faith this profession that he says that bow art the christ Um, that's what I'm going to be my church on and then I will give you these keys And he says that you will be able to bind what has or you'll be able to claim or call what has been bound Now the reason why I said it that way is because Being bound it's not that they're gonna bind and loose. He didn't he didn't give the the The disciples the apostles the power to bind and loose he did not He gave them the power to know or to declare what heaven has bound That's why it says you and whatever you bind will have been bound by heaven and whatever you lose will have been loose Some versions don't have it that way as a matter of fact, let's put it this way Let me go ahead and put it on the screen so you guys can see what I'm saying I don't want you guys to think that I'm making this up Someone say well, that's not what the passage says. It's actually it's exactly what the passage says. Matthew 16. I believe verse I think 16 they're about there it is Verse 18, I also say to you that you are Peter. Let's go from the verse 19 I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven And whatever you bind on earth shall have been bound now Some versions might not write it that way shall have been bound The reason why we say that is because this word right here the deminon Which is the perfect tense refers to a completed action in the past. That's the greek tense We don't have that tense in english and so whatever they're going to declare it has already been bound by heaven The same thing with the word loose the lumenon or lululemon lumenon lumenon means that what it's already been loose by heaven and so all they're going to do is declare that So he's giving them power that they have that others don't have That's that's an example also He's paul talks about the true power or the the sign of it the true sign or the sign of an apostle Well, everyone didn't have that now could someone be used to do that? Yes But what god gave would he just did at this point? He gave them power over demons and to heal now for them It wasn't all powerful until we see even on the day of pentecost But do I think that he's giving people that power today? Well, the power that we have today is twofold the power that we have today is twofold because he only speaks about it twofold I'll get your question later Is twofold that is that a person places their faith in christ that's one and then two resist All of us now have the power to resist all of us have the power to place our faith in christ now Do you have the power to continuously do so? That's a whole another question as a matter of fact We're going to talk about that with leighton on next week, but That's all you need The bible doesn't doesn't address that afterwards after acts 19 There's no more addressing of anyone dealing with demons because guess what the remedy is here the holy spirit. Amen Alrighty and let's see Delando Mcwilliam says did Saul really hear from samuel through the power of god when Samuel returned from the dead when the medium was present in first time to me quick answer Yes, samuel responds as a matter of fact, let's go to first in your 20 late 28 First samuel type it in Let's see when he pulls them up When he pulls them up Here it is first uh 15 then samuel said to saw That's all we know samuel declared the bible is declaring what samuel said Okay Why have you disturbed me by bringing me up? So yes, he did speak to him seems odd seems weird But that's what happened now remember you have to understand this Where was samuel? Well, samuel was in the same place that moses was where was moses at the same place that elijah was Where was that the same place that jeremiah and everyone else would be the abode of the dead Destined to be with the father. There was two parts of this now There were those who were in right standing who died, but they did not go immediately to to heaven Okay, they didn't go to heaven immediately that at that particular time or let me put it this way to upset some folks In that particular dispensation Cory, there's no such thing as dispensations. Yes, there is because the bible says there are now in that particular dispensation They did not what they did they went and rested waiting for which by the way the the Catholics Pervert this understanding and make it into an a whole doctrines whole doctrine Purgatory, but in john three Jesus addresses this sort of sort of he says I think it's in verse where 10 11 Uh, let's see Here it is Verse 13 no one now this is Jesus speaking about salvation Think about this. He's speaking about salvation at this point in time He says no one has ascended into heaven But he who descended from heaven the son of man So at that point in time before christ ascended But after his death burial resurrection and then subsequently his ascension No one had gone to heaven not even inock not even elijah They were taken up into heaven into the sky, but they didn't go into the To the holy of holy into the last heaven. They didn't go there. So the in the same word is used Jesus makes the statement says that I have not gone to be my father when Mary is grabbing hold of him after the resurrection So he has he hasn't gone to be with the father either now. There's a there's a passage about passage a video that I did Did jesus go to hell or where was jesus for those three days something like I can remember the title that they was Um, but look that up either. Where did jesus go for those three days or did jesus go to hell? And i'll kind of go through all the different verses that speak about where Elijah and and so forth where they were what happened and why no one went to heaven at that time immediately now Now when a person dies they go immediately to be in heaven And so after that that's why you don't see anyone after jesus Ascension you don't see anyone coming back from the grave. You don't see elijah You don't see moses and you don't see samuel. Amen Last one from those that I took pre-selective Chadwick grant says question is john 17 17 and 19 to us or the disciples quick answer to the disciples Let's go to it and see john 17 Let me just say let me read it first. Yeah, he says sanctify them in the truth Your word is true as you sent me into the world I have also sent them into the world for their sake. I sanctify myself for they themselves also may be sanctified in truth He's speaking about the disciples. He's not speaking about us. How do we know? Let's go back a little bit further While I was with them I was keeping them in your name Which you get which you have given me now does that mean that he hadn't given anyone else to christ? No, but he's speaking specifically of them and I guarded them that none of them Perished but the sun predation so that the scripture would be fulfilled So he's clearly speaking about the disciples and even mentions The one who was not supposed to be saved who was not going to be saved, which is Judas. Amen Alrighty now. Let's go to the questions that you guys have asked I hear Let me let me mark a few more of these questions Okay Oh Uh Charmy 88. Are you a pastor or a minister? I'm just Cory. I'm not a pastor yet, but I'm just Cory Uh, doki doki bible club. Thank you for the thumbs up. Thank you for the super sticker. Thank you Uh Bj it's like bj changes his name every day bj the poet he says Please exe jeep isaia 457. Oh, I know what that one is Isaia 457 The one forming light and creating darkness causing well-being and creating calamity. I am the lord who does all these things Now question Does god Bring about calamity does he now some pastors might say evil Fine or bad fine Does god guys ladies and gentlemen does god bring about those things Does god now when I ask you guys a question I want you I want to see what you guys think Does god according to this passage or really any other passages. Do you think that god Brings about as he says i'm the one that forms light and creates darkness I cause well-being or good and create calamity or bad or evil Does god do those things how do you take that does god matter of fact? Let's look at a different version. Let's go to Let's do the let's see which which version shall I use? Let me do the new king james version Where is my new king james version on here? It's on here somewhere There it is new king james version it reads as such he says I I form the light and create darkness. I make peace and create calamity. I the lord do all things What do you all think? Does god ever does god? Sin bad or create bad Now that's not to say that's not to say that he's the author of it No But this is really simply him using it. This is him pushing him bring Ultimately ultimately in the grand scheme of things When something bad comes your way. He either sent it or allowed it nothing happens without it going through his approval process However, that works. I'm not sure how that works nor are you but It's not as though god is sitting around. Huh? I didn't god has not caught flat footed. Huh? I didn't see that coming. I had no idea this person was going to do that Sheila I didn't know I'm sorry. She let the lord would say I didn't know that person was going to say that or do that No god under he knows it. He understands it now I like the way that someone said it said that uh, the devil well He's the devil the devil is the devil, but he's god's devil meaning he can't do anything absent god Now joe puts it this way shall we accept good from bad from god and not bad from god So whatever he does however, he does it there is a purpose to it But does he create evil in the sense that he's the author of it. He institutes No, he doesn't make it up. He doesn't you know what? I'm a bad god I feel like letting my hair down and doing some bad. No. No. No What he does is all the things that are bad and rotten on this earth. He's going to use those things Now why what to correct you To correct you he doesn't what he doesn't do guys. He doesn't Do something and by the way the word that's used there is the word that's beneficial for us Because the word let's see the word that's used here Is the word let's put it back on the screen the word that's used here is the word rah This word rah is bad evil harmful calamity It's really from our standpoint okay, so The stick that hits you is either is a stick Now it's an evil stick a bad stick or depends upon whose hands it's in are you with me? And ultimately we have to look at it from that standpoint Who is actually doing it and how it's being used how is god using this? So it might be bad for the for the time being But it's going to be good in how do I know because remember a god named joseph Who says you meant it for evil, but god meant this for my good now Being in in prison or being in jail and being sold to slavery Who thinks that's good at the time being But remember this is the very same god who gives him a dream about what he's going to do So god is going to do this for joseph Did god let joseph know in on the plan how this is going to be about no No, he did not but it happened just as god said so. Oh by the way, how did joseph find himself In egypt why was joseph in egypt? uh to begin with That's a good question. Does anybody know why was joseph in egypt to begin with? Think about that because again, we have a god that is Not just dealing with what's happening right now, but here's he's a he's an ever-present god But he's a guy that was there in the past a god that's been there that will be in the future And so why I love to see your answer why in the world was joseph In egypt in the first place Very good question The regional asset question because it helps us to understand. I got you Kenneth Williams The reason why I asked the question because it helps us to understand more to the question There's a reason why he was there the reason why he was there Wasn't even so much the dream now he gets this dream from god Oh, by the way, how do we know that that that this was god behind the dream? And this was god putting him there. Well, how did how did jacob and the and his sons end up in Egypt? How did the jews end up in israel in the first place? I mean in Egypt in the first place Well, there was a famine Well a famine comes about because there's no rain. There's a drought and things aren't growing Who do you know that can control the winds and the waves? Who do you know that can control the rain? Who do you know that can control vegetation? God So was god in on this famine sure he was he is the one that brings a famine Now the people that are having or suffering through this famine is that bad or is that good? Well, that's good Ultimately, but it's bad for the people that I don't want this famine my crops aren't growing. We're we're hungry But again, why does this famine take place the famine doesn't take place just to bring The children of Israel just to bring the 12 boys there No, that's not why the famine has taken place the famine has taken place because one guy Who we know has some faith but did not have all faith Kind of doubted a little bit one guy decided to ask a question One joker decided let me ask a question god. I've got a question for you His name is abraham. He said he said to god after god says know that your descendants will be As multiple multiple as multiple has numerous as the sand This is going to be your land. Some guy decided to ask god. How will I know? How will I know that what you said is true god? All righty mr. Smarty pants mr. Want to doubt me. I'll tell you what uh, you'll die At a good old age But know this that your descendants will be sojourners in a foreign land for 40 years and I'll bring them out with great wealth since you want to ask a question Abraham and so now god is behind what he's doing with abraham And so what does god say is going to do? He's going to put them in Egypt and then bring them out Again, this is god So what you might have thought was bad again You thought this was bad you meant it for my bad, but god meant this for my good But also to preserve you why is he going to preserve you? Well, it's not because you're wonderful brothers As a matter of fact you guys win the worst brothers of the year award Yeah, you guys are horrible brothers But but to preserve these people which people the one that god stated in genesis 12 2 and 3 that he is going to bless him leave him a posterity and then through him All the families of the earth shall be blessed and who's coming through him jesus There you go That was a long answer that question. No, wasn't it? But I think it was a thorough answer. Amen All right next question Let me move these out of the way Good question. Good question in second kings. Why did god change his mind after telling isaac to let it has a kaia That he would die Did god change his mind? The bible tells us that I the lord do not change, but sometimes it seems like he changed his mind or he'd say he repented Well, again Think of this. I want to give you this word Anthropomorphic meaning he has to speak in Human languages to get us to understand the hard part about speaking human languages is that We're dumb We are dumb. We are dumb to an epic level. It's just it is what it is guys. We are we're not the brightest people And so he has to speak in a way to where we can understand It's not that god is changing his mind god is doing something in view of His people changing. Here's a let me give you an example I love my grandson However, he doesn't know much he's one year and six months now Going 130 he is something else He will assault you in a minute not intentionally, but he'll he'll throw a ball at you He picks up something and he throws it because he just wants to play catch If you give him a knife Be bad parenting, but if you did he picked it up and throw it at you. Let's play catch grandpa Now so he has to be watched If he were to go to a light socket I might say No Don't do that And he might test me So I say if you touch it, I'm gonna spank you I'm going to spank you Now am I going to spank you I intend to spank you However, my grandson turns away from what he's doing He does not go and touch the light socket Do I spank him? Should I spank him? No, I don't spank him. Why? Because The situation has changed. I'm not changing. I intend to spank you a little behind If you touch it, why? Because I don't want you to do so, but if you change. All right, there's no no no need to So what does Hezekiah do Hezekiah prays amen 15 more years Amen, sometimes God just wants to see how you're gonna I might not change the situation too much I might I might change it what I really want to see the Lord would say is how you respond how you act in the situation Amen. Amen. All right. Do what? Okay, let me skip to the front. Let me skip to let me skip to the back. I'm sorry. I just I just saw this uh-oh He said my pastor publicly kicked me and two others out of church because we tried to confront him in accordance with first timothy 519 Let's go to first timothy 519 talk on it Got stuff going down in church today first timothy 519 that caught my eye Okay, do not receive an accusation Against an elder except on the basis of two or three witnesses. Okay now. So let's say he puts you out Because he felt like you violated that that's not a reason to put you out He is wrong for that That's not a basis for putting someone out the bible gives us some reasons to put someone out. That's not it Let's say and let's say you let's just I'm gonna I'm gonna assume I'm assuming you did it right. I'm going to assume that you did it right But let's just for the sake of this argument. You did it wrong You did it wrong That's still no basis for him to put you out because and this is one. I remember saying this to a former pastor Who was dealing with I'm sure this is not this is not you but a former pastor who had a difficult sheep He had a difficult member and he wanted to put him out I said why I said, listen, he's a jerk. But why are you gonna put him out? You can't put him out because it's a jerk That where is that in scripture? I understand you know being a pastor you can be frustrated you deal with all these different things But there you are you are been given charge of that flock Acts 2028 guard the flock And so you're not doing so because someone did something you didn't like and you want to put him out That is not how that works. He is in error. Now your question is should I Let's put it back on the screen Should I Try to reconcile with him what you should try to reconcile with him, but I wouldn't go back. This is me personally I personally would not go back. Here's the reason why now I would try to reconcile. Listen, I pause if you felt like I was out of order That was not my intent. Maybe I maybe and I would take the onus on yourself Maybe pastor so and so I get a little bit overzealous because of the word because I just love the word so much Maybe that's what it is. But I ain't going back Nope Why because it speaks to this person's maturity level And their own insecurities not going to do that I'm I'm not going back because I need to be able to trust that you can pastor me or shepherd me Whether I'm a good sheep or a bad sheep And you're given indication that the first time you get a little kickback or pushback You want to kick out. Nope. Sorry that person He is going to have to at some point time and maybe you won't question whether he should be pastoring I'm sorry. That's just not we you can't do that Just putting folks out because they they the audacity to come to the pastor and ask a question Or to say, hey, I think I disagree with you. That that's just wrong. That's just wrong So I saw that caught it caught my eye. I said, let me let me address that real quickly. All right What do you think about catholic exorcists? Have you reviewed them? Can you go Jags? Well, let's deal with the last thing you said the last blasphemous thing you said No, go Jags. We want the Jags to lose. Amen. Amen. Now the more important thing About catholic exorcists. I have no trust in catholic anything So you see where I stand. I think the catholic church is horrible I think the catholic church now here's what's funny I would much rather person go to this. How bad is I would much rather you go to a catholic church Than to go to someone like uh, William Murphy's church Bishop William Murphy's church. I'd much rather you go there than the catholic church. That's how bad William Murphy is but Neither are the church neither And so in terms of an exorcist I haven't really watched them other than the movies I've seen the movies where the catholic priest comes in but even then they They typically got killed by the by the demon like in daemon But no, I don't really follow them. So I really can't say Do christians have to tie? I think it's a dumb question as people say uh, stay using Leviticus 27 30 a tenth of the produce of the land Whether it's grain or fruit is the lord is the lord and it's holy. Okay, a couple things Tithing is not limited only to the produce That's also something guys Tithing was not just limited to Month I mean to a vegetation and animals was all if you had money do the same thing however The tithe is just a tenth Now are we to do so? No, we're not If we're not if we're going to not exceed from what is written the bible does not tell us to If you feel like you want to tie we'll find tie the weight Ties until your lights fall off your lights turn off keep tithing You're not you're under no obligation to tie if you feel like it's blessing or or or If you simply want to tie it if you say you know what I like given giving myself Obliging myself to do 10% that's fine. I don't have a problem with someone said I'm going to give 10% because I want to But if you're gonna say I'm going to give 10% because I have to That's different That is different. Okay, so don't you don't do it because you are There's some sort of compulsion as a matter of fact Paul says so that we are not to give under compulsion And so if you're tithing because you feel compelled to that is not right By the way, the tithe was not meant for you. You know, by the way who you're giving the tithe to When what they would do in malachi because since people want to go to malachi will then find if I'm ever struggling I should be able to come to the church and get whatever I need so that the people of the god According to malachi The storehouses for us in israel and for the people but we're not israel so No, but if you want to listen if you want to on your own you just like doing so with an amen have at it Thank you. Just teach ministers. I appreciate that. Thank you for the super chat Uh, and layla proctor. Thank you also for the super chat, but you also said answer my question Let me find your question. I will see hold on let me type in your name. I thought I had it up here Do I like cat williams um Cat we've had some funny stuff. I haven't followed him lately. I know he said something lately That kind of stirred some stuff. I don't know exactly what all he said. I know he said something about some Center to the entertainer and some other folks stealing his material. What have you I really don't know what all has happened um, so Ah, I can't I can't tell you I can't tell you dawg on it. Kenneth Williams. I'm gonna I'm gonna get to your question Here me. Kenneth. All right. I'm going to question really soon really really soon So anyway, yeah, I don't know anything. I don't know what cat. We was done. But what he said But he must have said something because he's got some folks upset responding so All right. Can you explain easy kill 33 13 this deals? Um Someone walking away from righteousness that god wouldn't remember them. All right. Let's go to easy kill 33 13 When I say to the righteous, he will surely live And he so trusts in his righteousness that he commits iniquity None of his righteous deeds will be remembered But in that same iniquity of which he has committed He will die But when he says when I say to the wicked, you will surely die and he turns From his sin and practice justice and righteousness if a wicked man restores a pledge Pays back what he is taken by robbery walks by the statutes Which ensures life without committing iniquity. He shall surely live None of his sins that he is committed will be remembered against him He has practice justice and righteousness and he shall surely live now. Here's a question with that Does that mean a righteous man can can lose his Um standing can he go from being a righteous to being unrighteous? Well, then he could Then he could however After that god says what he's going to do So in easy kill 36. What does he say about those people? He because the problem with them Is They're like us got a bad heart got a bad heart. We just want to do sin. We just want to we want to have fun. We want to We want to Test stress the boundaries. We want to trust the limits. We want to go as far Uh to the limit of sin as possible And then once we get over here, we look make sure no one is looking and step over that line We intend to step right back over but that's just our heart. We just yeah You've been mad at somebody you really want to give a piece of your mind and you just kept going and you probably wouldn't look too far But it felt it felt good. It felt good to give you peace. Well, that's sin so His point is if you do this if you are in right standing you can go from being in right standing to being not in right standing Because you got a bad heart. That's the issue. But what does he say in easy kill 36 in easy kill 36? Which you all are familiar with us putting up and so let's put it up again He said what he's going to do. He says Then I will Sprinkle clean water on you and I and you will be clean. So once he sprinkles clean water on you You will be clean. Uh, I will cleanse you from all your filthiness from all your idols. Well, what's what's the clean water? It's not physical water. It's Uh, serenity with the holy spirit, we know that because Jesus brings this up in John 3 more over I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you That's why in john 3 he's speaking about born of water and spirit the two elements there are also mentioned here This is why he gets on on uh, nicodemus. He says you a teacher of israel don't know this Or where could I have known this from jesus from here? It's in the book knucklehead Me playing the part of jesus calling nicodemus a knucklehead. That's what I would do Knucklehead. Anyway, he says verse 27 I will put my spirit within you and cause you to walk in my statues And you will be careful to observe my ordinances. So what does jesus say? He's going to do He is going to put his spirit in them And he will cause them to walk in his statues and they will never According to the scriptures turn away from him. He will never turn away from them. They will be right forever That's when that happens. However, prior to that happening They could be in right standing today and then tomorrow not being right standing Today, that's not the case if you are if you are in right standing today Meaning you have been justified you have been justified forever What is your take on the Sabbath and it's observant? Well, here's what the bible tells us about the Sabbath The Sabbath was given For us to honor The lord we could just sit back and just thank god for what he did god is awesome Look what he did in six days on the seventh day. He just stopped And just gave us the opportunity to marvel at him and what he's done and the fact that he is in our life We have this rest in him Now what happened he gave a command Even though he can even though he tells us about the Sabbath In genesis he gives a command for them How they ought to observe the Sabbath the Sabbath is still the Sabbath Saturday is literally the seventh day of the week. So that part has not changed ladies and gentlemen The Sabbath is still the seventh day of the week But the command to do certain things on the Sabbath That's the issue. Well, who did he command to do certain things on the Sabbath? Israel Those of us who have never heard the law And would be unfamiliar Such as those folks at the founding of the church Never heard about keeping the Sabbath now. There's going to be a new Sabbath's rest for everyone But there was there's never been a command for everyone to keep the Sabbath As a matter of fact, paul says don't let anyone judge you about any feast Or new moons or any Sabbath as a matter of fact, the bible tells us also That it seems to say that god is no longer taking Pleasure in them and their Sabbaths. Hold on. Let me let me type this in And let's see Let me find the passage. I want to find the right passage. Give me one second Okay, here's one There's a couple of passages that I'm just trying to find the right one Okay Now this is this is hosea. We know what's happening in hosea. Israel is just very horrible They are Worse than some of the preachers that we see today some of the christians the so-called christians we see today But he's using hosea as an example He's got him marrying Uh gomer Who is gomer is she's not a lady of the night. She's a lady of the day. She's just all over all over town with any everybody everybody marry her and meet with her why because poor poor hosea faithful guy Because what you're going to do with her is what i'm doing with israel unfaithful israel And notice what he says about about israel in this point. Notice that he says I will put an end to all her gaiety Her feast her new moons her Sabbaths huh And all her assemblies So what is he going to do by the way this is also brought up in um I think it's lamentations Or is it amus? Let me see is this amus. Hold on one second. I want to say amus Dog on it. Let me see Yeah, there it is. Uh, hold on one second. We pull this up amus by 20 And other places it's not just in those places like two or three other places He says I I hate I reject your festivals nor do I delight in your solemn assemblies God is bothered by israel. I gave you the Sabbaths for you And what did you do you turned your back on me you abused them so I have no more delight in them Now he's going to give them another Sabbath a Sabbath's rest an eternal Sabbath But we don't have the Lord telling us to Observe the Sabbath rather what we do have is one better Treat every day like you would have that Sabbath and reverence him on every day That's why paul says don't let anyone judge you in the courts of these Sabbaths or or feast and so forth Now if a person wants to take the time on the Sabbath and just honor the Lord and think well fine. That's no problem You're just not obligated to do so because if you're going to obligate yourself to keep that portion of the law Then keep all of it. Amen Okay I am moving pretty pretty uh Pretty quickly by the way, don't you all wish? Don't you all wish that alton johnson? Would just cut all this here. I'm just go bald How cool how cool would that be? I really believe Brother alton, it's just me I really believe that if you were to cut all your hair off your life would just be blessed upon blessed It'd just be one to be awesome Yeah, no no more troubles. No more trials. No more crying. No more weeping everything everything so That's that's that's for me to you brother because I love you Cut your cut your hair Anyway, is the doctrine of eternal security possibility Possibly misunderstood by those like me who hold to it No No, the doctor. No eternal security is It can be misunderstood. Obviously it's misunderstood by half the church half the church believes in other half that Meaning can you lose your salvation or not? Those of us that believe you cannot lose your salvation swimming by eternal security It's not to say that once you get to heaven you are secure Well Duh It's like if I I made my flight if I arrived at my destination If you arrive at your destination, then you will arrive at your destination. That's what we say That'd be that'd be that amount of saying Eternal security is only once you get to heaven. That's some of the bible teaches the bible teaches that one We have passed from death passed from judgment um And passed from death and we have life right now the term eternal security is literally taken out of the bible It is life Into the earth into the ages eternal life. So life into the ages john 647 Truly truly I said to you that those who the believing ones those that believe in me They have life aka right now present tense life aka Zoey I only on life into the ages or into the Eternal into eternity. So They can misunderstand. By the way, it's it. This is the good thing you can misunderstand eternal security and still be saved Now how you treat eternal security or how you treat the blood of god Is quite different because remember We're saying we are saved by the blood In a in a previous dispensation Under the law They were also saved or atoned for by the blood The problem is and we see this in brought up in in Hebrews 8 9 and 10 We see the distinction between the blood of bulls and goats versus the blood of jesus Ladies and gentlemen Not a trick question, but I just want to ask you this question Which one is superior the blood of besie the cow? Or jesus What's more superior the greatest lamb that ever lived Or just some old run of the mill lamb back back then And the reason why I put it that way is because His blood is clearly different clearly different But it wouldn't be different if it bought the exact same salvation as the blood of bulls and goats if the blood of bulls and goats Will give you a temporary salvation And jesus blood will give you a temporary salvation Well, then what's the point in purpose of you coming jesus? It's because he paid the price once for all and there is no longer a sin debt to pay Amen, so yeah, even though those might might i misunderstand it God thankfully god doesn't and and the good news is again As I say most folks that hold to it that believe you can lose your salvation Believe that you can lose your salvation. They don't believe they can So anyway, all right. Oh, I don't know why I did that Continuing When am I planting the church? Tony? I'm not sure. I am not sure Not sure when or exactly where in this great metropolitan area. Uh, well, I do so but So There's still a lot of time between then and now Oh I didn't see this but uh Mr. Now faith is The proof texts that I would use would be just what the ones that I just did As far as keeping the Sabbaths, it'd be just those So a matter of fact, wait a second, let me type this in as well There's one more passage we could probably look up I can find this passage where is it? There is Colossians 2 16 This also is nothing therefore Uh Along with amos along with hosé and I think yeah, there's another one in lamentations two I believe I think it's lamentations two therefore let uh, therefore no one is to act as your judge in regard to food Or drink or in respect to festivals or a new moon or a Sabbath day Well, but that Sabbath there's a different Sabbath day. No a Sabbath day any Sabbath day Okay It's plural And it's plural And it's an author so it's not speaking of a definitive Sabbath. Amen Did Jesus actually bind the straw man during his first coming? You mean in terms of no, he did not in terms of say no, he did not No, he did not He will the time will come when he will bind him for 1000 years Yeah, I know there's some folks that believe that it's not a literal 1000 years But it's literally a 1000 because he literally said a thousand years six times And we some folks will take that 1000 years It was means a long period of time when he could have easily said a long Period of times words have meaning words have meaning you can't get on the Calvinist because nothing happened I mean the charismatic the charismatic because They spiritualize a word They might spiritualize tongues, but then you turn around and spiritualize a thousand years Okay, that's gonna be consistent. And so That's the only time that we see him being bound and it'd be loud for a time And then he will be bound forever in the lake of fire Hold on what? There is a video teaching me. Oh, I'm sorry. You should check out. I can't name it. I'm sorry I thought you were saying there's a video saying that Saying that we should check out like kill ourselves or something. Okay I'm sorry. I was reading too fast. Okay. Let me know what let me know what it is notice. By the way, thank you for the super chat Do you believe it is equally The people flopping around that keep the demon slayers deceived What keeps them to see there's two things there's two reasons one they're greed Not all of them. I won't say that all of the folks are greedy. So I'm gonna say that But also listen, you can go to write you can you can legitimately unintentionally Be deceived succumb to deceptive practices you show up And let's say you're not telling people to act a certain way But they come and act a certain way and say and for you that's proof positive that that person has a demon What else could it be? Well, this is why and the problem that we have today is that there are so many people Who one should not be pastoring. They don't have the spiritual acumen And maturity to pastor So when someone shows up and they claim they got a demon. I got a demon or act like it Well, let me go and cast demon out Let me go ahead and cast the demon out. Well, wait a second. How do you know it's a demon? I use the example of What is the name geno Jennings The reason why he could not cast the demon out because it wasn't a demon Demons act a certain way people said, well, no, I disagree or what do you disagree with because in the bible When we see demon when we see a person in the pattern of the person We see how they were acting So when it tells us what the person's been doing it tells that they've been doing this for a while Except for those of we we just hey, this person had demon cast it out Well, we don't know enough information But the one where this information been given we see how they've been behaving someone brought up the little the little girl Who had a who had a demonic spirit? Well, we see her but they tell they literally tell us what was her practice What she kept doing demons don't stop being demons for the sake of being demon. I see a doticus maximus I got it demons don't stop being demons because it's church time or it's time to sing see out of the hymnals Because it's time to go to work Demons act up all the time. That's how others know that there's a demon Our demons in the church only act up at the preaching which makes me wonder And I think monkey moves actually said this if he's in if he's in the chat But I think monkey moves said that maybe they're preaching maybe maybe that they are the ones that's bringing the demons in But the point is If you're not spiritually mature and think about this I want let me just say this and I don't mean to be ugly or mean But when you look at the so-called demon slayers All four of them and those that kind of hang out with them are Deft of scripture meaning they don't have a lot of it Daft of scripture. They don't have a lot. They don't under they are their understanding of the scripture is Light and I'm not trying to be able this. This is the reason why They don't engage in conversations with someone that will give them push back They'll engage in conversations with those that won't give them push back and they'll lean lean on someone else's scholarship Okay, they won't write extensively about and they won't talk to anyone else about it Why is that because they simply don't have the ability to go through the scriptures or to prove their point So because of that They still believe in this because they're they might be insecure. They might be selfish They might be private whatever and so when they see someone come who acts like what they think they're supposed to act like That's a demon. Let me just come out come out come out come out come out come out come out come out come out come out come out Come out come out how much time you got come out come out come out I'm gonna keep saying to come out until you act until the person who's flopping around acts like they've I'm tired myself to Yeah, I guess a demon left Of course, have you ever cast out a demon? Have you ever? Well, listen by the power of the lord I've seen at preaching people people leave People I'm sorry demons or demonic influence leave a person in a person place of faith in Christ and we don't see that activity anymore But then again, it also can be that someone is just just crazy. There are crazy people We live in a following world where some people are just just maniacs Just weird just out there. Some folks are faking some people aren't faking They're caught up in the euphoria and they think this is how I was supposed to act How do I know You go to a church and everyone's laying hands on somebody or someone is this and that and what do you think the natural tendency is You fall out when a person lays hands on you you fall out. I thought the same thing too So you get pushed and you fall back because it doesn't take much to lay to fall Yeah, why because your feet face that way not that way and so there's nothing stopping you from falling It wasn't a lot of pressure pushed and so you felt like yeah, you know what? This is this somebody pushing on me must be the Holy Spirit so they can all get caught up in them That's why it's important. It's imperative to have good sound doctrine and to Butchers everything that you think fill and believe with the scriptures Let that be your guide. Amen Bring back mental asylums. Yeah, we could you yeah, we need those The more that they have emptied those out The more we see homelessness and just all sorts of things on the rise But then also what we used to do is give people kind of The I don't say tough love but yeah tough love a straightforward approach in dealing with some of the foolishness Instead of pandering and catering to people's foolishness and making them grow up and be mature Because a lot of these folks have the ability to grow up and be mature They get triggered emotionally and they react because I know that they're going to be Treated a certain way if they do react or act out so People's minds did not just start devolving all of a sudden demons didn't become more active now all of a sudden It's us Amen This is a good question. This is a good question and the answer is Don't know How did the disciples know at the mount of transfiguration that it was moses and elijah? Was there a picture of moses and elijah that that was kept passing down? Maybe Maybe they had you know how you have those little rings those those Four-finger rings and has your name on it. Maybe they had that maybe they had tattoos I'm kidding Don't know the bible doesn't say But it was moses. Maybe maybe the lord told them Maybe they said hey, i'm moses. Hey, i'm elijah. We don't know They they certainly didn't have a photo of them Hey, look here's here's moses. That's moses. Is that him? That's him No, they didn't have that Maybe he didn't they announced it Have no idea maybe the spirit told them Maybe the lord spoke to them. We have no idea But that that's a good question But it gives us the opportunity to say I don't know I like those opportunities. So you know what? I'm not sure I really don't know the bible doesn't say and so because it doesn't say I won't say I can speculate I can guess but it won't be dogmatic So I have no idea that it just didn't say but that's a I've never moistened I've never heard anyone ask that question, but that is a very good question a very good question Oh, okay. That's what you said Jeff with another great question In many of the apocalyptic prophecies the phraseology when the when that day comes Or what's the best way to distinguish whether it's sequential days or referring to the same day or both It could be both. You'll see the the term hemera, which is day Now you can see if there's any any if it's plural If the definite article is plural and so forth You can kind of see what it might be in that day in that day or in those days It can be one specific date or days We don't know or a time because it can be used idiomatically It's not meant to say on that exact day But it can refer to on that exact day. It's always going to be context. Oh, by the way, what's happening What's being explained for example? in Joel 2 and then we see the beginning of it in acts 2 in that day. Well in that day was not one singular day But it was days Now someone could say that no it was because here's something else We don't talk about a lot someone could say that in that day It was one singular day and that what joel was speaking of he was not speaking about everyone prophesying Forever all christians prophesying and having dreams and vision He somewhat might say that and guess what? There is a grammatical basis for that to say that it's just speaking of the jews on that day because if you go back to Joel He's speaking about israel Now do I take that same tack? No, I think that he's speaking of more than just the jews and more than just the jews on that day But someone could say yeah, Cory that could be you can see that. Okay, we're fine. I won't I won't fight that But do I think it's also applied to others his spirit being poured out on all flesh And does he mean by all flesh of that time of of israel? No, because I think the argument is weak argument to say just all flesh of israel because it wasn't All flesh of israel but just each kind and that makes sense That makes better sense each kind which would naturally Um flow to gentiles as well. Amen Okay What website do I use to compare greek? I don't I don't have a website that I use to compare greek I just I have a different greek text on here either on accordions or on lagas and so I'll just look at that So if I want to look up the uh codex anaticus if I want to look up the the uh alexander alexander alexander I'll just use alexander instead of using the latin term That's how I do it. I want to look at the uh The received text over the critical text. I can just I can look that up. I gotta move faster Well, you know, you said when is the guy claiming to be an apostle coming on? What guy? Not I'm not sure I'm not sure I'll say this. I don't think anybody claiming to be an apostle wants to come on But the door is open if any if you all know of an apostle that wants to come on Or if you all know of a prophet wants to come on Tell them info at smart christians.org or smart christian channel at gmail.com either way I'd love to talk to you. Love to have you guys come on. Let's let's talk Okay, here we go. Uh, uh, kenneth Uh exegy exegesis revelation 315. Let's go to ex to exegesis. Let's go to revelation Be 15 This comes up quite um from time to time. I know your deeds that you are neither hot I'm neither cold nor hot. I wish that you were cold or hot But because you are lukewarm and neither hot nor cold. I will spit you out of my mouth Does that mean That He would rather you be hot and cold or cold Does cold mean that you can that you're okay? No No, but at least we know one way that what are you doing? You're playing the fence now Is this what he meant what i'm gonna tell you is what he meant or is just an interesting fact But it's not germane to the text or it actually is Because they they would understand this also Where this is being spoken of they have the you know, like in laodicea Unlike us our water is piped to us Now your water comes to you cold. Okay, your water didn't come to you heat it. Okay, but there the water could be From these springs is warm springs or cold. But by the time it got to them It was just tepid it was lukewarm And so maybe he's doing a play on word that you guys are just like this You guys neither hot nor cold one way or the other you're just in between you just just there You're just i'm a christian And that's good enough for me Yeah, i'm gonna go ahead and do what i want to do because And that could be what he's what he's speaking and what he's referencing But it's not to say that he would rather you be hot or cold. I'd rather you be cold. No But maybe hey, listen, uh, if you're cold in a bad sense We can deal with that if you're hot amen in you in the middle It'd be hard to convince you because you think that you are safe that you think that you are okay I shouldn't say say that you are okay. Amen Here's a good question Are lutherans our brothers and sisters in christ even though they believe you must be baptized to be saved Is adding that stipulation another gospel the same could be said of people that are in church of christ That you must place your faith in christ and then get baptized. Are they our brothers and sisters again? Let me just say this you're not saved by what you know. You are saved by who you know And so in that regard, yes They believe you place your faith in christ now I want to give them because it is yeah that that that is that's a gospel that says that you've got to do this to be saved And that's where it becomes hard. You got to do this to be saved There are some that don't hold to that even though that they might be The center to christ they might be that I will spider monkey There are some that hold to that That yeah, you you uh, you Well, let me just put this way. Let me just put this way anyone that is of the belief Let's just let's just call what it is. Let me just call what it is. I'm trying to say it in a nice way Anyone That's yeah, yeah dumb sheep. They say that they are the only one They do that's kind of an old joke when uh Guy goes to heaven and peter's showing him around And he's pointing at all the different people and who's that over there? Those are pentecostals cares mac those are those for the baptists. Well, these people over there huddle huddle in the corner and quiet Uh, that's church of christ. They think they're the only ones here. That's kind of that old joke, but if a person irrespective of the of the um Of the uh denomination If an individual person believes that you can't be saved unless that I place my faith in christ I believe that he's saved and I and you tell me that no you're not saved yet. You got to do this Yeah, that's a different gospel. That's a different gospel and Uh, it is what it is. Sorry cannot get away and I wanted to be nice I wanted to be nice, but I can't It is what it is. You are preaching a different gospel I think though that a lot of folks though A lot of folks in those groups aren't as dogmatic about that and so for that reason you give them grace if they're not as dogmatic Um as others You want to find out flesh it out and find out what do they really mean by? um by that So and some folks just do it out of his ignorance just like those who believe that you got to speak in tongues of me say Let me They're ignorance. Um, would that be counted against them? They just they just don't know Okay, rebecca. I'm gonna do I'm gonna do your favor. I'm gonna um It does say he he doesn't judge or didn't come to judge that he says then he does say he does judge Is does that is that a contradiction? No, as a matter of fact, it was one of the questions that one of my earlier questions that I covered When the channel first started is that a contradiction? No, it's not Um, he's saying that he does but that wasn't his point in coming If you do me a favor put it put a comment this very same comment In this video so I can send you that video Okay, can you explain first kings to eight first kings to eight Behold there is with you shmeen the son of garah the benjamite of bahu ring Now it was he who cursed me with a violent curse on the day. I went to my Mahaneen But when I came down to me But when he came down to me in jordan, I swore to him by the lawson. I will not put you to death with the sword Now therefore do not let him go unpunished for as you are For you are a wise man And you will know what you ought to do to him and you will bring his gray hair down to show with blood It's like david goes back on his word, doesn't he I'm not going to kill him because perhaps I deserved what he was saying to me He's coming in and and he's cursing him and they're like, well, perhaps I have it coming Now one of two things are happening either david goes back on his word, which he should not have or He understands. Yeah, he needs to be dealt with and so he does and so he allows Uh, who is this joe app? He does so Who is this? Yeah, joe app to do so Now by the way If david goes back on his word or david gets something incorrect, which by the way, the bible will Um, give an account of when someone says something wrong or incorrect Okay The bible's not trying to hide anything. So if someone says something incorrect or wrong and they have to go back on it That's on them But it wasn't that the lord said don't kill him and then lord said do kill him. So Hope that helps What is your thoughts on how accessible your pastor should be your pastor or someone close to him should be accessible Uh, Every sheep. I don't care if the shepherd has a thousand sheep all one thousand of his sheep I'm talking about literal sheep and shepherd, you know, the guy with the staff and actual sheep with wool All of his sheep are accessible to him All of his sheep are accessible now if you get to the point where they cannot be within He needs to stop being a pastor of all of them So there is no limit on how many people should be at a church if you got five thousand fine They need to be accessible to you in some way shape from a fashion That does that mean they ought to be able to have your phone number and no, that's that's not what that means Because even we see moses doing the same thing And he had to appoint people to help Deacon so to speak he didn't call them they weren't calling deacons but people to kind of help out with him different elders We see that at the beginning of acts also and so Part of the same flock, but we need some help. That's fine. Also one man cannot do it All that's a wise thing to do And so somebody who is either the pastor or right beside the pastor should be able Or you should be accessible to them and they to you amen If it's just too big you got 30,000 members and you can't no one can talk to the pastor or an elder Now the best you can do is somebody in your local small group bob Who's leading a small group and bob can't even he can't even find Hosea yeah, well, we got a problem there and that's that's happening a lot now For the sake of making sure that I keep all these members and we have all these these platforming these campuses Then I won't I won't divvy up the people. That's wrong. That's selfish Can a woman be can women be deacons not the office of deacon? remember we have an actual Qualifications that that paul gives to timothy and to titus We can't say that was just in emphasis where timothy was because titus was not in emphasis titus was in crete And the same qualifications now can a woman be a deacon in terms of serving She's she she's a server. She serves Uh, same thing with a man, but not of the office where there's uh different criteria and And and qualifications and so forth. No Like phoebe. She's a deacon, but not in the sense of that's her office not in the Uh first timothy or titus one since Okay, because all of us ought to be serving in that sense and so In that way, but not as an office What streaming are you using bro? Please? Um, you mean the one that we're looking at right here. This is ecam The ecam live love it love it to death. I can do I don't do half of what ecam can do I'm just not all advanced. I don't have different Text scrolling and bouncing up and down but there's different things I can do. I just don't do it But I will do some more things later on. Amen Could you explain matthew 11 11? I've heard someone say that john the baptist isn't in the kingdom of heaven. Let's go to Matthew 11 11 Truly, I say to you among those born of women There has not arisen anyone greater than john the baptist yet The one who is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he Now does that mean that john isn't in no That's not what that means. Jesus is trying to make a point um John is awesome But What john needs what you need? He's not saying that john isn't going to be in the kingdom matter of fact We know that he is the greatest man born of woman and he is a man of faith without question He's in the kingdom But he's trying to make a point about us and the hierarchy and so forth Um, look what he says This is what this passage comes in also for uh from the days of john the baptist until now The kingdom of heaven suffers violence and violent men take it by force That does not mean that us as christians ought to fight back with violence. That's not what that means For all the prophets and the law prophesied until john And if you are willing to accept it john himself is elijah who was to come he who has an ear let him hear That's a difficult passage If you want to find out more that there's a video that I have called is john Elijah or who's elijah something like that. I'm not sure what it says Y'all figured out you guys are smart. I can't remember what this thing is called. I should know this stuff but John the baptist is truly Uh, he's a forerunner. He's prophesied that he was going to come And so yeah, he is he is in the kingdom Thank you again martin forchin for the super chat. I thank you sister. Um, I'm not sure. I don't know this You're gonna have to give me a passage. I'm not sure what uh, what you're what you're speaking of Dottica said that the video is the kingdom of god Is obtained by good works So the the title is interesting. I'll say that Um, the kingdom of god is obtained by good works I'll check it out though I think is that the I think I know who that is. I'm not sure so I can't say I can't say I can't say so I wouldn't I wouldn't speculate as to um Is he sound or not? I don't know But um, interesting title of bj again, um, would you please give me advice on Um, how to deal with contentious women? I have anxiety about this how to deal with contentious women Well, if you're not married and they're not in your family, you don't have to Don't feel like you have to be beholden to them or you go or there's a fear that you're gonna miss out on something good If she's contentious before you even married well, then That might be a sign Okay, so you don't have to be just not your wife Now if it's your mother or a sister, that's different deal with it other than that Other than that Um walk away now But I would also say this though. You could also say to them. Hey, stop being this way. I would I would not walk away I would not walk away silently. I'd walk away after saying listen. Don't be this Maybe they don't even know that they are So help us to stir out in that regard and let her know that hey listen what you do I find to be very contentious stop it Stop it Thank you ready for life. Wait a second. Did we just beat you guys or did you guys beat us? Did we even play? I'm not sure if we even played each other. I don't know. I don't know if we played each other Uh, oh, yeah, we did but I will say this though Yeah, I do like your coach. I think I think you guys are hitting the right I really think you guys are hitting the right direction I think you guys gotta gotta get a quarterback too young Um, so yeah, I think the raiders are gonna be fine little football talk on the channel What is your take on x this 17? This dog is barking. I look at it. I Anybody want a dog? I want to get rid of her so bad. No, I want to get rid of her so bad I want to send her home to be with the lord so bad. I really do Anyway, uh, what is your take on x the 17? uh Number 20 How mad do you think? God was at moses for the description. God was painting With the rock and being struck twice by moses Okay, let's go to moses moses exodus 17 20 I can't spell exodus 17 20 30 second am I in the right spot? There is no x to 17 20 Okay, hold on Let's see. Here we go Therefore the people quarreled with moses and said Give us water that we may drink and moses said to them. Why do you quarrel with me? Why do you test the lord? But the people thirsted there for water and they grumbled against moses and said Why now have you brought us up from egypt to kill us? And our children and our livestock with thirst So moses cried to the lord saying what shall I do to this people a little more and they will stone me Then the lord said to moses pass before the people and take with you Some of the elders of israel and take in your hand your staff Uh with which you struck the now and go Behold I will stand before you or they're on the rock or whatever And you shall strike the rock and the water will come out of it And the people may drink and moses did so in the side of the elders of israel named the place uh Masa and maraba because of the quarrel of israel and Excuse me and uh, they tested the lord saying is the lord not among us now. That's the first time this happened Uh, now let's go to Is it here? I think let's see Okay, here it is again Numbers 20 and there was no water for the congregation. They assembled themselves against moses and the people thus continued with moses I'm saying if only we had perish with our when our brothers perish before the lord Why then have you brought the lord's assembly into this wilderness for us? And our beast to die So They're always complaining. Let's drop down to verse seven and the lord spoke to moses saying take the ride um Take the ride and your and your brother erin assembled the congregation and speak to the rock before their eyes That it may yield water speak to the rock before the with their eyes that it may yield its water You shall thus bring forth water for them out of the rock and let the congregation and their and their beast drink So moses took the ride from before the lord Just as he had commanded and moses and erin gathered the assembly and he said to them listen now You rebels shall we bring forth water for you out of this rock? Then moses lifted up his hand and struck the rock twice with his rod and water came forth But god said dog going moses. It's not what I told you to do Now you're in trouble now you're in trouble question What did god tell them to the lord tell them to strike the rock? No, we did not Tell them just speak to it but roses not only moses roses moses not only struck it struck it twice in his anger, but that's what he says um Then moses lifted his hand and struck the rock twice and water came out. I'm sorry. Hold on Uh, where's it at? Listen now. This is what moses listen now. You rebels shall we bring forth water for you out of this rock? We Where's this we coming from moses? Huh moses we we ain't doing nothing Uh was the lord now someone say the lord lord. That's that's pretty harsh This is this is moses. We're talking about that that is so why can't moses make it in For the promised land. Well, first of all, he never promised moses to make it in number one, uh two God has a product of duty wants to but the promised land isn't the end So where does moses get to go in the end? He gets to be in heaven. So moses is fine Uh, we don't get a full understanding. We can speculate even more I don't want to speculate too much more because the bible doesn't give us too much more other in fact Because he did that god said he ain't going to the promised land So Thank you, sir. Oh, thank you for the super chat. Thank you alfred young. I appreciate the uh the super chat as well um Tommy j says isaac 42 2 Is it about jesus? Would someone see this as a contradiction because of when jesus kicked everyone out of the temple? Let's go to isaac 42 2 Let's start in first one Behold my servant whom i uphold my chosen one in whom my soul delights I have put my spirit upon him. He will bring forth justice to the nations He will not cry out or raise his his voice Nor make his voice heard in the street excuse me Abruz read he will not break and a dimly burning wick He will not extinguish he will faithfully bring forth justice And he will not and he will not be disheartened or crushed until he has established justice in the earth Now you're asked about first 42 Is i mean first two he will not cry out or raise his voice but Was your question? um Him kicking everyone out of the temple Well one i don't know if he raised his voice uh when he did so I would imagine he did But I don't think that this is ever to say that he will never raise his voice Um, I think this is to be taken idiomatically that he is not going to be some Um loud blow heart. He'll be gentle Meek and lowly and I think that's the point here nor make his voice heard in the street He's not going to be like the other Um, matter of fact, we know so he's not gonna be like the Pharisees who they want to be heard and lauded for their Many words and so forth They think that what comes out of their mouth is so great and that's not that's not jesus's Whole point to say things in such a way now when he did speak he spoke in such a way That there was a that it was authoritative and people but held what he said But he didn't because you've been around those folks before we all have that guy that wants to talk loud and say a Whole lot of stuff because he thinks that his many words will be recognized. No, that's not jesus So I don't see that as a contradiction at all. Amen Matthew 23 23 with this scripture Being in the new testament what Law is it referring to? I'm trying to understand why some believers apply paying ties to the church based on this um Ms. Ed Malachi three Matthew 23, let's go to it woe to you scribes and Pharisees hypocrites for you tithe Mint and deal and in cumin and have neglected the weighty provisions of the law justice and mercy and faithfulness But these are the things you should have done without neglecting others. So does this passage Tell us that you must Pay ties. No, it does not what this passage is saying He's just stating that you they are paying ties now at this point in time Were they obligated to pay tithes? Yes, they were at that point in time. They were so even if someone were to say that they let this passage say that they should pay ties fine He's speaking to the jews um Who are under the law? When the law is done away with there is no more requirement of that and so again As as paul says if you are going to obligate yourself to one aspect of the law Then you are obligated to the entirety of the law Okay, hold on one second Give me one second Okay, let me let me look up something. No, it's not that's not it. Uh, let me answer this question. Let me answer this question Dumb sheep. I like I'll be honest. I like that profiling dumb sheep. That's that's us too That's all of us. We're just dumb sheep. What is the second baptism and the baptism of fire? Okay The second baptism There's a belief that there is a second baptism Um, because that means that you get baptized once and get baptized again in the holy spirit. No, there's one baptism Uh, and so biblically there is no uh, now I need to see the passage talking about it Which you're referring to the if if you're referring to the same thing I'm referring to But we are according to 1st Corinthians 12 13 that we have all been made to drink of one spirit We've all been baptized all of us One time Now this baptism of fire this judgment It's the same thing It's that all of us who are believers have been baptized in the holy spirit and in fire This this judge not the sense that this will be this final judgment No, but that our hearts have been pricked Have been convicted we understand. We know that we stand judge and we fail The holy spirit is the one that convicts all of the believers Are convicted we are we uh, I the only reason you can be saved is that you feel um You feel like you're falling you feel Unlike you've been judged and you deserve hell You feel convicted Otherwise you place in your faith in christ what because that might as well I don't I don't need it. I don't need to be saved. I'm all right. I'm in good stent No, you do so because ultimately because you recognize that you are rotten that you are like I'm a dumb sheep The best I can hope to be ever hope to be is a dumb sheep on on this planet Uh, you recognize how fallen you are That's the fire that's the conviction from the holy spirit But in terms of judgment in terms of you know, you gotta go to hell You gotta go through some things not necessarily Because the person can place their faith in christ Um and not go through any trials and tribulations. They might just die Right. Well, the the death is a tribulation. No, not really if I'm if I'm a believer and I die My death is not a trial Because I get to go be with the father Amen Okay How do you discern discern if a person's testimony is true if they shared it on youtube Do you think satan can falsify testimonies to deceive christians? You don't want to be in the habit of uh of um Uh trying to prove someone's uh testimony. I mean You know, now I've had that happen where someone tried to say well, your testimony is not true And so we'll finally tell you what let's bet let's bet all that you have and let's bet all that I have The reason why because I know mine is I know of course you lied about this like whatever. Okay, fine. All right If you say so if you think my testimony is not true, well then No, don't follow me anymore. Don't don't watch me. Don't do anything. Don't listen to me ever again move on And do you Because I'm not changing it before the lord. I stand with what I said. I've gone through it. So I will I will I got it. I will I got you shila So if someone if someone believes that your testimony is false, well fine As I've told them kick rocks. I have no big deal. You don't have to believe me. I'm not asking you Which part of it asks ask my family my wife hears it all the time my friends here at all the time They know they I promise you I can promise you matter of fact, let me do something. Let me let me do something Let me let me do something. Let me do something real quick Uh, let me call her Let me I'm all I'm gonna call my wife By the way, do you know someone actually said core? You don't have a wife What no, you don't have a wife. Let me call her Hmm Let me talk to my baby. Hey, can you hear me? On the feet right now, you know, okay. All right. Listen to your life. I got a question for you Before the lord god is your witness under the penalty of death and Uh, no more cereal in the house. Here's my question, honey By the way, someone said hello, core is why she said okay. Yeah, this is weird But you've heard me give my testimony Right She said you guys baby speak up louder. I can't hear you. You you've heard me give my testimony, correct? Okay, all right. Have I lied about my testimony? No, not as I know. All right. All right. Thank you, baby I need you to be louder next time All right. Bye, sweetie. By the way, what's for dinner? She won't tell me. Bye, baby So now The reason why I did that is just goofy, but still I care about a few people believing my testimony Me god and her and the kids they know so They don't want to what okay what questions you want to ask her So if the thing is this you don't have to worry about if someone is bound and determined not to believe you find You can't make a person and this whole point you can't make a person believe you If you feel like what you said is true, well then fine If you go out of your way Go out of your way to try to prove someone Or prove that you're right the more you try to prove that you're right the more you're gonna seem like you're wrong It's almost She wasn't annoyed. She's like, what is what in the world are you doing? Why are you calling me? But the if you They don't do it. Maybe they still maybe they still do a measure But if someone says this person's crazy this person deserves to be in a mental asylum, right? You deserve to be in a mental asylum And you say i'm not crazy The more you say i'm not crazy the more you're gonna look crazy The more you defend yourself the more you're gonna look like you're guilty. That's just how it is. So If a person wants to believe you fine if they don't then oh, okay, I don't know what to tell you I have no idea what else to tell you all I all I've done was giving you what I've got and if that's not enough Um, I've given you the best that I've got baby Some of y'all some of y'all catch that I'm giving you the best that I got I want to see who catches that first. Somebody's gonna catch that anyway Barry boy, I have no idea what he is I have no idea what he is I I don't know I have no idea A net says Anita that's who it is Anita Apparently there's been some issues with her with her, um Concerts lately. Anyway, let me continue Thank you, um First video I saw on your channel. I uh was when you went to to that deliverance conference I have watched lots of your, uh lad and isiah, uh throughout last year, but I didn't sit Didn't sit right when you're watching your video has to answer. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you I appreciate that. Thank you for super chat. Thank you, brother I'm gonna answer, uh charise's question matter of fact. Layla. It's up next Uh, do you think Children that die in this time are raptured up Will make their uh, hold on Will make their decision to follow christ or revolt against him with satan that Let me reread this Do you think all the children that die in this time? Or are raptured up will make their decision to follow christ or revolt against him with satan at the end of christ I don't know. I would say that let me just take it piece by piece Those that die at this time I'm going to say I'm I'll choose to believe And yeah, the scriptures are the scriptures are by the way, the scriptures are light both ways, whichever you take this You don't have a whole lot of scriptures to to to rest your head on But those that die, I believe they will go with it. They'll be with the lord Um Because god does ask us to make a decision and they can't And so, um Now the ones that are raptured will they make their decision to follow christ In other words, if the rapture comes today, I know some folks don't believe in it. I do Will they be raptured up as well babies, I think so too because I believe if they die they they certain will as well Now how many passages do we have to back that up for babies? Not very many One way or the other One way or that they said they said you sound so sweet um Do I think they will revolt with no now During this thousand year reign at the end When satan is free, there's going to necessarily have to be somebody who Joins in with him and rebels against him all the people of the earth or or these armies that are gathered to fight this final battle Well Those will be those that were born During the millennium Who are who though their parents started off the millennium saved they won't Okay Those that that he will take in to see the nations those will be those people But it's a hard question to answer because there's just we don't have a lot of a lot or enough information to Go off of and that's where the the humility comes in lord. I wish I had more But because I don't I won't I won't do what first Corinthians. I'll do what paul says not to exceed what is written I can think this or feel this way But huh now if I think this way and I've got scripture that that clearly refute what I'm saying then I won't think that But if I don't have enough to go one way or the other then I'm not sure I'm not I'm not sure and I'll leave it at that. I'll just I don't know Thank you. Shanta shanta a woman of God. Thank you for the super chat Okay, ladies and gentlemen I'm tired. Oh, I see what your vc. I'm sorry. I'm sorry I mishandled your question The question was more so About whether satan can counterfeit testimonies to deceive christians There are counterfeit testimonies in that regard where someone might think that they're saved I don't think satan is behind that Now Can he is there something he might do to kind of make you feel good? You know, such as have you go to I don't know a new year's eve party at a church And come down and join a church and that be considered you're saved and you think that you are And I guess he can make you feel that feel good by that way Um, but ultimately this is what paul says Let every man examine himself Let every man examine himself to see that he does have christ. So that's up to you Um, there are a lot of people that believe that they are Who think that they have a legitimate testimony, but they they know They should again god gives you everything to know that you are with him And only you know I can look at you and think that maybe you are maybe you're not but Only you know, you know your walk, you know, um, man, listen, I know how convicted I am At sin how it bothers me. I know how much I love him I know that I don't do enough or do right, but I love him and only you and god know that for sure It may look to me that you are saved. It may look to me that you're not safe Then that has no bearing on anything. I don't put you in and take you out of heaven um, and so Let the the person that needs to be fully convinced of your testimony on this planet is you But it is possible it is possible um, that a person can think they are saved and Their testimony is just as fraudulent as well You said there's a prominent you guy that was it was who's the prominent you vc. Who's the prominent you got in preacher? Go ahead if you can quickly pop populate his name before we before we leave. I'd like to like know who it is No, see he said lead us out with the song All right. No. Yeah, you know, I'll lead you out with a song. I'll lead you out with a song How about I I'll lead you out with an instrumental That was the wait a second. That was your first time asking a question. I thought for sure. Okay. All right You're hearing enough. I thought you'd ask enough questions. Okay. I thought you did ask a question before. I'm sorry a young lady who is uh blackie beers white teaches that the scripture showed that Uh, the husband being the head is superior to the wife What say you please? All right Let me put my chapstick on because I got to answer this question correctly The husband is not superior to the wife The bible does not teach that he is superior Now in terms of Order and headship that's different that doesn't mean superior That does not mean that he's better in any way shape from a fashion than the woman As a matter of fact when the bible speaks about submission The bible also speaks about yet in terms of authority and rank There's a submission, but also the bible says that we ought to be submitting to each other as well Here's what that means Let's say in this household or any other household his way should be Husband and wife and their children The husband the final authority rests with him But does that mean that he is to neglect her and what she feels and what she says If he does so well then guess what he didn't have to do if this husband Holds it over this wife's head and to the point to where he's superior. He knows it all. He's got it all He doesn't consult her Didn't consider her fine Husband whoever you are don't ever pray again Until you get that fixed Why because if you don't regard her the bible says god is not going to hear your prayer Forget your little funky prayer You want to treat her like this well then fine because if that's how you're going to treat her Well then god can say that's how i'm going to treat you You are to care for her to love her to promote her to lift her up And when you don't and obviously mean we fail at that all the time We felt that all the time Uh, we don't need to do it intentionally and disregard her Because she's not uh less than That's your wife if you treat your wife that way. Wow Wow No, she came to abortion because of that either No, but the fact of the matter is paul nor jesus nor peter Ever say that she is less than you in terms of headship That's fine Because how has god how has jesus? um Subjected himself Under god the father is he less than god the father? No co equal Same with you Amen, so Wouldn't make that abundantly clear anyone that says that there are guys that feel that way and you have to be an insecure little something You really do to do that to be that way me personally Let me answer this last question by chris, but me personally a person that that does enact that way There are a lot of insecure men. There are a lot of insecure men um And you see that now of course there was a lot of insecure women as well. There's a true christian Willfully this will be the last question willfully sin or are there such things as a carnal christian? No, there's this term a christian can act carnal Like paul says, but there's no carnal christian First john three talks about a person who is willfully or practicing and even Hebrew talks about a person willfully going on. That's a person These are people that disregard what has happened And there is no there is no satisfaction to a person as far as god is concerned To a person that disregards what christ has done and i'ma live the way i want to live just because Does speak about a person who who sins Because paul mentioned that he sins as a matter of fact this term practicing paul brings up in roman 7 But paul talks about how he does not desire the person who desires to sin There's a distinction. My desire is to sin. I want to be a sinning christian I want to lie and be a christian. I want to be a homosexual and be a christian I want to engage in unprimarital or un or sex outside of marriage marriage and be a christian Your desire is that and to be a christian the two can't be what felt your best life light with darkness and therefore Your desire is to be against that sin. That's how you know, you have repented heart And so you should naturally hate the sin you might even commit a sin like I hate that I hate that I hate that that's how you should feel on the inside If you feel good after the sin you feel okay about the sin then something's wrong with you There is literally something wrong with you You sin and it doesn't bother you not that you won't sin, but if you sin it doesn't bother you man, houston. We got a problem Yeah, I know I know the uh a lot of the ultra ultra ultra free grace folks come after me But I'll tell them to their face if you sin and doesn't bother you ain't safe Free grace or not sin and it doesn't bother you you're not saved I'm I'm having a problem uh with you I got a problem with you not having a problem with sin Now you're saved by faith. That's it. Place your faith in christ. How do you know you did have it because there are those that aren't Well, that's one key indication I love the lord and sin and I don't get along even though there might be there might be a time Well, you know, I plan on slapping this person because this person did something wrong to me But Your hope james koala.
