 We were scheduled to cover Hebrews today, but I was busy moving around doing a lot and was not sure that I would actually hit. So I decided to move that to tomorrow and take the Q&A for tomorrow and have it for today. Hope you all don't mind. Do we ask questions or do we answer queries? Either way, you guys ask whatever questions you want to ask. Not a problem, biblical or not social, political, whatever. For example, this is a good question. Good question right here. Corey, almond milk or milk milk? That's like asking Satan or Jesus. That's like saying rats and maggots or puppies and kittens. Obviously milk, regular milk. The Bible says that they would be going into a land flowing with milk and honey. Did not say almond milk. Did not say almond milk, so. Anyway, I'm going to do my best to get as many of you guys questions as possible. I won't. How's the cat? The cat's fine. He's always fine. As a matter of fact, when I knocked him off the thing, it didn't mean hitting that hard. He went over there and his little paddle around and just went to sleep. It's a good question. Anyway, let me answer a couple of these questions that were already there first. Spider monkey asked a question in first Kings 12 19. It says that Israel is in rebellion against the house of David to this day. I'm curious if it's still happening like it like this now. The Bible uses a term to this day. Okay, let's go to first Kings 12 9. Where is it? First Kings 12 9. 12 19. Okay. Okay. This guy, I don't know. It's like I have a heckler that goes with me. It's okay though. I know why he's jealous. This is really the only spot that you really need to have some hair on your face. Maybe a little bit right here or right here. That's fine. Here. Unnecessary. Unnecessary. Okay. Unnecessary. Anyway. But let's go to first Corinthians 12 19. So Israel has been in rebellion against the house of David to this day. Well, when you see this term to this day, it's only referring to the time of the writing, not till to our day because it's going to come a point in time where you might read a particular passage and that's not the case. But is Israel today in rebellion against the house of David? Well, it depends on, I guess if you ask them, but in, but truth be told, yes, they are in, in this sense, they are, they are in rebellion in the sense that they're not following the throne of David, which is, which is Christ. But in this case, this has to do with what was going on in the kingdom at that time. Remember, you've got this split as to who should be the king and so forth. And so this is, this is what this is referring to. It's really referring to at that time, specifically when first Kings 12 19 was written at that time of that writing. So hope that helps. I have two more questions that I took previously. Chad Kelly, is it Kelly or Keele? Chad Keele, I'm sorry. My pastor said that if a person were to deny Christ, i.e. during persecution, that person is still saved. My question is, if someone denied Christ during persecution, were they a believer at all? Well, interesting question. You would think though that the immediate answer, the obvious answer would be that person is not saved nor were they ever saved. But there's a question. What do we mean by denying Christ? I know of someone very famous, very prominent in the Bible who denied Christ. Not just once, not just twice, but three times. That was Peter. So it's going to depend on what do you mean by denying Christ? Peter certainly is someone that was of Christ at the time, but he was just weak now. Someone could say, well, Peter didn't have the Holy Spirit and that would be a good point to make as well. But there might need to be some sort of differentiation in terms of what do we mean by denying Christ. But if that's the life that you live, a state of denying him, then I can't see how. If it's likened to Peter, maybe you're scared. You didn't mean it. You just got, you know, and maybe you just need to grow up or get it back, probably get tougher or what have you. Maybe it'd be hard to say because it'd be hard to know the person's heart who is denying them. Are you with me? For example, let's say if a person says, your daughter's life is on the line, your son's life is on the line. They put a gun to your child's head. This is going to seem kind of weird. And if you don't say that I deny Christ right now, I want to kill him. Now you don't mean it. You don't mean it, but let's say some terrorist and they're messing with you. I deny Christ in your heart. You don't mean it, but you're trying to save your child. Do I think that that person is not a Christian or ever? No, I wouldn't say that. And it's an extreme example because I'm trying to think of an example where that could possibly happen and you really don't mean it. Because I don't think that Peter actually meant it either. Remember Jesus says that you will deny me three times, but when you return. So Jesus like you're going to return. You're not gone, but I get it. You're in the midst of this and Jesus is trying to give a point to Peter that you're not as tough as you think you are. You're not as as involved in and as faithful as you think you are. I wish thanks be to God that it's not so much how faithful we are, but more importantly, how faithful he is. So one last one. I just want to bring an apology to ask an Ezekiel 2812 talking about the King of Tyre seems to describe Satan saying that he was in the garden, but it seems to describe an unfallen state. Would this suggest that he fell after the seven day creation? So let's go to Ezekiel 12. No, I'm sorry. Ezekiel what is that 28? Ezekiel 28. This is also one of those passages that has kind of a double meaning because there actually was a King of Tyre. But this also refers to Satan. Here it is. Son of man, take up a lamentation over the King of Tyre and say to him, thus says the Lord God, you have the seal of perfection full of wisdom and perfect beauty. So it's not necessarily because of a person, but using the person also described Satan himself as you were in the garden, the garden of God. Every precious stone was your covering the ruby, the topaz and the diamond, the barrel and the onyx and the jasper. The lapis, I don't even know what it is. The lapis, the zuli. What is that? The turquoise and the emerald. And the gold, the workmanship of your settings and your sockets was in you on the day that you were created. They were prepared. You were in the anointed cherub who covers and I placed you there. You were on the holy mountain of God. You walked in the midst of the stones of fire. You were blameless in your ways from the day that you were created until unrighteousness was found in you by the abundance of your trade. You were internally filled with violence and you sin. Therefore I have cast you out as profane as profane from the mountain of God. And I have destroyed you, O covering of chair from the midst of the stones of fire. Your heart was lifted up because of your beauty. You corrupted your wisdom by reason of your splendor. I cast you to the ground. I put you before kings that they may see you. And so your question was it seems to describe him in an unfallen state. Well, he talks. He's covering both parts. He's talking about how he was and how he is. And so, no, when he was cast down, he was cast down in an unfallen state. So when he shows up in the garden, he's clearly he is without question fallen. All right. Let me go and start marking some of these questions that I will answer or try to answer. Again, I will do my best to cover as many as possible. It's a deep blue metamorphic rock used as a semi precious stone. So when you say deep blue, do you mean like this color deep blue? You mean that color deep blue, right? That's probably what you meant. You probably meant this color deep blue, which makes sense. That makes perfect sense. So, okay, I get it. Let me just run through these and mark some of the some more of these. That's a good. What about in the work environment? I don't know. I don't know when someone is because I think at that moment, you're just doing just to be friends with somebody, right? If someone if you and so here's the thing though, this is where let me just say this. If you deny me before men, I will deny you before Christ. Take that. Go go with that. But if you confess before, if you confess before me, I will confess before my father's in heaven. So I would obviously in the end, God knows the actual heart, but I've seen people just deny him just because he's not popular at work. He's not popular at school. He's not popular in these circles. And so I would just say be prepared to suffer persecution. That's what I would say was Peter. Again, what is your definition of regenerate? I'm still, I'm still waiting for you in you 1689 people to give me a passage. I'm still waiting for you guys to give me a passage. Come on. This thing is not okay. And it's really probably more of me. Is it a sin to work on Sunday? No, it's not a sin to work on Sunday. First of all, the Bible doesn't bring up anything about what we're supposed to do on Sunday. Anyway, the Sabbath is not Sunday. The Sabbath is a Saturday. And so now another question would be, is it a sin to work on Saturday or on the actual Sabbath? And I would still say no, why? Because Gentiles weren't given that command. So no, but we will esteem every day just like any other day. And we will worship God just as much all the other times. Oh, and there it is. For some reason, as I'm moving my cursor over, it is not, it's not giving me the little stars that I have to click on to mark questions. Okay, let me mark a few more questions and then we'll start answering some of these. Now me? I work every day. I work every day. Is Piper, you mean John Piper? Is John Piper a oneness? No, John Piper is definitely not a oneness. I want to get to your high priest question, Mr. 1689. Can you, can you expound more on tongues and some say it's a heavenly language and only they and God can understand where is scripture to support this? That's been my question. I haven't heard anyone give scripture. They assume that. Now, by the way, this is a new thing when saying it's a heavenly language. This is fairly new. And when I say fairly numb, I mean about 120 years old. It's a Western. It's mainly a Western. Now there have been some different people that have said some things, but if you've got this sort of language that only you and heaven get the question is going to be why? But then the other question is where? Where in the Bible do we see that? And I asked a question today on one of the videos. If you can't understand what you're saying, is that a good thing? Is that wrong? Because there seems to be the question brought up by Paul and that's the solution. And Paul says you ought to have understanding in what you're saying. Paul is clear on that. So anyway, I saw a very, very, very good question. This is a good question. Is it better to be bald or a Colts fan? Well, see, they kind of go hand in hand. It's like water being wet kind of goes hand in hand. It's better to be a bald Colts fan. But if you just happen to be a Colts fan with hair, I'm not going to hold to get you. If you happen to be bald, but just bald, not doing anything with your listen to who much is given much is required. Right. So if you're bald and not doing anything with it, like being a Cowboys fan, well, then you might as well grow some hair. So my coffee. Why do I have a problem with bald women? Listen, rock the noggin, rock the noggin. I don't have a problem with bald women at all at all, but I wouldn't expect women to want to go and be bald. So that's fine. If your bald is a woman or you got a bunch of hair, that's okay. That's okay. It's the other gender that hadn't gotten their act together yet. So what's the cat's name? Dog on it. The cat's name is it's a weird name. It's Xeon with a X, X, I owe you. And I think that's what it is. My daughter named my daughter. I want to give him a different name the next time we get a name. And y'all tell me if you, if I want to see how many people know this, how many people, you got to be a little older to know this, but I want to get a striped cat named spot. I want to get a striped cat named spot. Has anyone ever heard of a striped cat named spot? I want to see is there anyone that has heard of a striped cat named spot. Now you young folk probably won't get this, but a striped cat named spot. Matter of fact, does anyone know, by the way Garfield is from Indiana, so I'll go. But has anyone ever heard of a striped cat named spot? I just, I don't even want to go any further until I see that any of you guys, especially you older people, you should, you should know where you've heard this striped cat named spot. But if you just go back back in the day when we watch cartoons, Hong Kong Fui. His sidekick cat. So striped cat named spot. See? I thought it was so cool. I was like, that is really, really funny. A striped cat named spot. That's when writers were good. Anyway. Okay. Luke 2329. Can you explain Luke 2329? Let's see. What is Luke 2329? Luke 23. By the way, one of the other reasons why I didn't just try to come back and do heroes. I was coughing a lot. I may have caught something from my daughter, I'm not sure. And there's going to be a lot covered on this in the book of Hebrews. And I just didn't know if my voice was going to hold out. So. Okay. Luke 2329. For behold, days are coming when they will say, blessed are the barren and the wounds that never bore and the breast that never nursed. Then they will begin to say to the mountains, fall on us. And oh, okay. Fall on us and to the hills cover us for if they do these things when the tree is gone. I mean, it's green. What will happen when it is dry? So let me, do I want to, do I want to back up a little bit? I don't need, we don't need to really back up a little bit on this. But this is, this is in regarding to, oh, I still have this up. I'm sorry. Still got your face up, Diana. This is in regards to the end time. This is, this is in regards to when those, especially those in Israel are going to be dealing with this. And so there was a point in time when, man, it's just good. I don't have any kids. It's just good. I'm not, I'm not having to deal with that as this time. Again, when he said it's going to be bad, it's going to be bad. And you have not seen anything this bad. You guys could, now some folks who want to keep saying, hey, this was the, the 70 AD was it. No, we've seen worse than 70 AD. And in 70 AD, having a baby wasn't it. And as he said, it's going to be bad. And you, even to this day, you can even say that we haven't seen, we won't, we will not have seen anything as bad as what we're going to see. Hopefully, if I'm right, us smart Christians won't be through. It won't happen with us. We won't see it. We're starting to see, even as we look through the Bible, said that God has started to put this little practice in place where, where the righteous are. He's not going to hurt or affect the righteous. If you're, because if you're righteous, what's the point of penalizing or punishing the righteous if they're in right standing? So that's what this is. All right. Next question. Do you think God being three in one means that they are different persons, but have the same number? When we say three in one, remember that's our terminology used to do our best to try to explain God. And so, and again, it's hard to explain God with our words. But this, but when we say three in one, we're saying, we're really saying that there are three persons who are in the Godhead, almost said it wrong. See, this is where it gets tricky sometimes. I almost said there are three persons that make up the Godhead. And you really don't even want to say that because it's almost like, well, then their God is incomplete. So it's one part, two part, three part. There's just no way that you can really satisfactorily explain him. It's just that difficult. It's just that, which is why it's not a requirement to understand this triune existence perfectly. But the one requirement that is required for salvation is that you understand that Jesus is the Lord and that He is the Lord. And as Jesus said, apart from that, you will die in your sins. So would you say you kind of met someone? So I met them. Okay. Let me start answering some more of these questions. BJ, you asked about the four angels. Give me the passage, please. Give me the passage you refer to so that way I can. I'll come back to your question, but give me the passage that you're referring to BJ Taylor. So I can go look it up and then we so I won't have to spend time looking up. Show us, Corey, show us where Christ is the high priest for anyone outside the new covenant. The problem is we don't get that terminology. High priest that is used of anyone outside of the new covenant because the high priest is a Jewish term and because it's a Jewish term Gentiles. Okay. What does that mean? Now matter of fact, let's go to Hebrews. Let's go to Hebrews. Oops. Hebrews 2. Let's go to Hebrews 2. Let me where is this passage? Here it is. Oh, slow mode, please. Okie dokie. Give me one second. Put this on slow mode. Okay. For it was fitting for him verse 10. I'll start there. For whom all things and through whom are all things in bringing many sons to glory to perfect the author of their salvation through suffering for both he who sanctifies and those who are sanctified are all from one father for which reason he is not ashamed to call them brethren saying I will proclaim your name to my brother in the midst of the congregation. I will sing your praises and again I will put my trust in him and again behold I and the children whom God has given me. Important. Therefore, verse 14, since the children share in flesh and blood he himself likewise also partook of the same that through death he might render powerless him who had the power of death that is the devil and might free those who through fear of death were subject to slavery all their lives. For surely he does not give help to angels but he gives help to the sins of Abraham. Let us know that no angels are saved. Therefore, he had to be made like his brother in all things that he might become a merciful and faithful high priests in things pertaining to God to make repitiation for the sins of the people. Now, you're going to see this term of Jesus being used as a high priest when he's speaking in terms of using Jewish imagery. But when he speaks to us as Gentiles you'll see a different term. As a matter of fact, let's see if I can find this where I might find this term. All right, you're going to see this term. Let's go to 1 Timothy 2.5. This is the kind of term that you see when he's talking about Jesus' role as it pertains or relates to us Gentiles. This term mediator. Now, you'll see the term mediator being used both with Jews and Gentiles but the Gentiles, high priests, no, I'm not struggling. Why do you... Okay, stop. You seem to... I don't have a problem with it but why do you feel like I'm struggling? You want me to write it up on the screen with my finger? I have to actually go look it up and see. I don't know the Bible by heart. So, you find me where he speaks of a high priest to someone other than Jews. You won't. But when he speaks of mediator, he's saying the same thing. As a matter of fact, even in Hebrews, we'll see him using the same term interchangeably, high priest and mediator. But you never see him using the term high priest when he's speaking to Gentiles. For example, Paul in 1 Timothy 2.5, it says, for there is one God and one mediator also between God and men, the man Christ Jesus who gave himself as a ransom of testimony. So, he's saying the same thing that you might see in Hebrews but the book of Hebrews as well as we look in the Gospels, they know what a high priest is. Gentiles have never had a high priest. Does that make sense? 1689. Anyone else? Gentiles don't know much about high priest or about how the Jews did things. Okay? So, you'll use these Jewish terminologies with Jews. But when you're speaking to Gentiles like Paul is doing, why would he bring up that? He doesn't. So, this mediator, he's a mediator for us, high priest of the Jews. Oh, by the way, he also uses that same terminology with Jews and Gentiles. Okay? So, not struggling. He's actually trying to give you an actual visual example. And so, in Hebrews too, as well as we have this high priest that can also relate with us, well, so that's him speaking to Jews. But then when he talks about what he's talking to Gentiles, he's not using that term high priest. So, I don't know if I can answer your question. I suspect not satisfactorily, but this is the problem. Let me just say this again. You guys love sticking to your confession. You'll stick to your confession. I think some, not maybe you, but a lot of you guys, a lot of 1689 people will stick to their confession longer than they'll stick to their marriage vows. And I mean that. Not all, but there are a lot. You hold that in such high regard so that you will look at everything in the scripture as it lines up with your confession. I don't care if it's the Westminster or the 1689. I could care less about your confession, to be honest with you. I'm just being honest. I'm not trying to be mean, but I could care less about the 1689 Baptist confessional faith or the Westminster confession or any other confession. I really, if it ain't, if it ain't there. And so you cannot say I'm Sola Scriptura and I say give me a scripture and well it implies that. I'm not into what you think it implies because I can say what I think it implies. So when you guys want to keep bringing this whole issue about let's say a person in the Old Testament be regenerated, you still have not as of to date given the passage. I had one guy. I have one guy. I had one guy who was doesn't like me said that he can't he can't see me being anything because I don't believe I don't believe that Old Testament Saints were regenerated. Okay, now for the record I said they may be they may very well have been regenerated. Old Testament Saints may very well have been regenerated. Problem is can you give me a scripture or I'm sorry I should take I should take your word for it. Well pardon me for not thinking that highly of you thinking enough of you to take your word for it if I don't see the scriptures you should do the same for me. Can you can you please explain regeneration in the Old Testament? I can't explain it because I don't think it's there. Again if I asked you or anyone else what does regeneration mean? That's your heart being changed a brand new heart his spirit being put in. Well what did God prophesy and say that he was going to do in the future? Changing their hearts? Yeah but I think Moses had his heart regenerated. I think Abraham had his heart. Well give me the scripture. Remember at this time he's saying that what he's going to do and when he's going to do it. So is Jesus atonement applied to Old Testament Saints? Yes it is. Here's how. Jesus makes a statement. Now remember if you died under the Old Covenant and you were in right standing and you had to do you know going through the atonement under the Old Covenant and you died in right standing then you were in right standing. But the problem was two things. Well one thing for you if you are already dead. You still had no path to go to heaven. There was no way that and so Jesus when he says in John that no one has ascended but he who has descended so no one has ascended only people who are going to make it to the Father in heaven only get there because of Jesus. Only get there because of Jesus. Had he not died then those folks would have died not going to hell. Versus not dying not going to hell. Now they get to go to be with the Father forever. Are you with me? So that's the reason why. And by the way if a person says because this is what I'm going to always be. I'm going to always be stubborn hard headed when it comes to just give me the word. Just give me what it says because this is what you guys do what everyone does. We'll say wait a second, wait a second, wait a second. I don't see what you're saying. I don't agree with this. If the demon slayer say that this person had a demon in the New Testament and I said well give me the passage. Well it's implied. No it's not. Give me the passage. We'll say no. We'll go with the scriptures. Well I'm going to hold you to the same standard. Not just them. Not just the charismatic. I'm going to hold the Presbyterians. I'm going to hold the Baptist. I'm going to hold everyone to the same standard. And I would hope that you do the exact same thing for me. I cannot recall the last time that I came out and said this is what it means and not give a scripture. If I have let me know. If you guys have heard me say that hey this is what this means and have not given a scripture well then shame on me. Amen. By the way, 699 that's not what that is. For this read. Okay. Hebrews 9 15 says the new covenant saved Old Testament saints. So let's put the passage that you just said. For this reason he is the mediator of a new covenant. So that since a death has taken place for the redemption of the transgressions which were committed under the first covenant. Those who have been called may receive the promise of the who. That's not what that says. That's not what that says at all. Since the death is taking place that obviously that's Jesus taking place for the redemption of the transgressions that were committed under the first covenant. Now he's speaking to these people who under the first covenant they are still under the rule of the covenant that those folks it's not some of those folks who are dead under the Old Testament that they are saved by the new covenant. No, they're not. No, that's not what that says at all. But okay. Alrighty. More questions. More questions. Oh, by the way, did you ever give me that? Okay. Revelation 9 14. Okay. Let me go to be just ahead as Mark next. Revelation. The one thing that I will say that I do also like about. Logos over this is if you if you're typing bad. Logos will kind of help fill a thing out for you. If you're meaning to spell first Corinthians and you misspell it, they got you over here. They're going to hold me to it. So your question was are there literally four bad angels under the the Euphrates River waiting to be released during the Biblical Tribulation? So let's go to this passage. One saying the sixth angel who had the trumpet, you said not the sixth angel who had the trumpet release the four angels who are bound at the great river Euphrates and the four angels who had been prepared for the hour and day and month and year were released. So they would kill a third of mankind. Now your question was do I think that there are literally four angels waiting to be released? I do. I just like I think that the other angels that have been that are being described here are actual angels. I think I think the angels were created for a reason and these angels that are bound are bound for a reason. So yeah, I would take that. I would personally, I would take that little. Now there are some folks don't take much of revelation literally. I do. I take as much of it as I possibly can. So what do you do? Do you BJ? Do you take it literally? Okay. I've heard you talk about three heavens. I don't really understand what you mean. Can you elaborate? Okay. Now you're going to make me go to two different passages. Dog on it. Lex. Lex mind, body, and spirit. Okay. I'm just messing with you. Let's go to a couple of them. Let's go to Genesis one. In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. This word for heavens is the Hashemayin, which is the plural. In Hebrew, there are three ways to number. One is singular, which is obviously one. Dual. Two. And then plural. Three or more. So when he says the Hashemayin, this is the in that Yadmin is the plural way of saying it. And so it would mean either three or more. It could be 40. It could be 7000, but at least three. So he created the heavens and earth. Now what we're going to see is him describing two of the heavens. We're going to see him describing two of the heavens, which is the atmosphere that we breathe. And then the that next layer of heaven, which is outer space. Then we're going to go to Paul. Paul says in 2 Corinthians 2, that I know a man in Christ who 14 years ago, whether in the body, I do not know, or out of the body, I do not know. God knows such a man was caught up to the third heaven. This third heaven happens to be where God is. As a matter of fact, let's put the whole thing on there, because I want you to see how we know this is the third heaven and let's go there to it. Whether in the body or part, I do not know, God knows was caught up into paradise and heard inexpressible words, which a man is not permitted. So we know where this is. This is heaven at that time. So the third heaven would be heaven, the one that we're trying to get to, or with me. The first two heavens were, well, were for me with one of them. The second one, we haven't gotten there yet. Some of us have. Some folks have. Some folks like senior Conrad can afford to take trips on Space X and go out of space. But the rest of us, meager people, we can't. So I hope that helps. Should I leave my church if a female path, if what? If a female assistant pastor, if so, how do I leave in a biblical way? Just by going out that door and closing behind you or going out that door and opening. Hey, everybody, it is unbiblical for there to be a woman in that leadership capacity. So just walk away. You just walk now. If you want to talk to the church about it, listen, I think, I think that you guys are on it, which I think you probably should because if you love the church, go ahead and tell them. I think that this is wrong. This is not keeping in with scriptures. If they say, we see it differently. And they go, now remember, we have, we have qualifications. We literally have qualifications. And so if we're not going to hold ourselves or govern ourselves to the qualifications that God took the time out of his busy schedule to give us these qualifications, well, then why follow the rest of it? Why? Why follow the rest of it? Good question. Let me answer this too. And I'll come to you, Tina Jeremiah. What's the difference between getting baptized in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit versus in the name of Jesus? None. None whatsoever. Because it's not the actual name, Father, Son, Holy Spirit or Jesus. What did Jesus say? You have baptized in my name. I mean, in the name of the Father, Son, Holy Spirit. But then we see an ax being baptized in the name of Jesus. It's the same thing. Well, first of all, you're being baptized in the name of God. And it's not the nomenclature of his name. It's not that because upon the professional faith, I now baptize you in the name of and I got to specifically say Jesus. Well, if that's the case, then, man, there's there's now there is power in the name of Jesus, but not in that regard. Just by saying Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus. No, the power is upon the authority. Right with me. Because there are some folks that believe that if you get baptized after first of all, that you must be saved by being baptized. That's all that you can be saved, which is wrong. But if they're if their way is correct, that means you place your faith in Christ. Then you also you're not you're not quite there yet. The next step is to go get baptized. So in between the time that you place your faith in Christ and the time that you go get baptized, hopefully you don't get hit by a car because you're not totally saved yet. Then you got to get put in the water. And if the person is baptizing, you doesn't say the right words. So it's also dependent on his faith or his understanding that you're not saved. That's not what the Bible teaches us at all. To be baptized in the name of Jesus or to be baptized in the name of the Father and the Holy Spirit is just to be baptized or placed into the body on the authority of God. Jesus, the Holy Spirit. That's what it is. Remember, Jesus is the one that's going to baptize us anyway. Paul, Paul, John says that I baptize you with water, but Jesus is going to baptize you in the Holy Spirit or with the Holy Spirit. And so that's the baptism that saves us. But whether the person says in the name of the Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit or in the name of Jesus, that's not the point. The point is not the actual verbal words that come out. It's the authority that you've been baptized in. That's what saves you. And then you go in the water. It's an out-profession of your faith before the public. So good question, though. Tina says, when you say, when you're saved, you say you can never lose your salvation. My question, if I was saved and left and sin, I came back to Jesus. Now, am I saved? Well, if you were saved in the beginning, you're still saved now. Matter of fact, the validity of you being saved is that you came back. Do Christians kind of go side to side sometimes? Yes, they do. Yes, yes, they do. Do Christians have a season where they seem to be off the reservation, so to speak? Yes, they do. Now, how far off don't know? Was Peter a believer when he, you know what, I denied Christ or he denied Christ and then went off back to fishing? Sure he was. Sure, he was still a follower of Christ. He found out some things about himself. But a true Christian, a true Christian stays a Christian. He may have a season, because there's a question. Even people that believe that you can lose your salvation will still agree that every sin doesn't take you away. So let's say today is Monday and I'm having a bad day and I don't pray, I don't read, I don't even say anything about Jesus or God the whole day. Have I lost my salvation? They'll say no. What if I go two days? How long or how many sins must I engage in in order for me to consider be considered to have lost my way or fallen away or this term backslide? We don't know. But all we do is that Christians, even if they look like they aren't, they are still Christians because the mere fact that you came back, I'm using your terminology, indicates that maybe you never left. Maybe you had this wayward season, this wayward day, this wayward week. And so what happens is someone will say, well, listen, I had a day or two where I was just, I wasn't doing right and I'll compare that to your three weeks and your three weeks make you unsaved. My two or three days makes me still saved. What we end up doing is comparing who did worse. You did worse than me and so therefore you were unsaved. Me, I know what I do is bad, but I'm not bad enough to be like you. I thank God that I'm not like this center over here, Lord. And then how we do sometimes. So I'm missing all. No, you don't backslide every time you sin. As a matter of fact, the word backslide is only used in the Old Testament and it's only used for Israel. It's never used of a believer in the New Testament ever. Should parents get their children baptized before they really understand about Jesus? I would not. I would not get your child baptized before they understand it. One, all you're doing is one, getting them wet, too confusing them because they may go around thinking that, you know what, I'm saved because I got baptized. No, you're wet. You might as well take a swimming lesson. If you don't understand what's happening, then you might as well take a swimming lesson. So it's imperative that you teach that child as quickly as possible. Sometimes we think that a kid has to be 12 years old or 14 years old to understand. No, some kids understand this a lot sooner than we think. A lot sooner. Kids are smart. Kids are smart. My little grandson, he can work his way through the little iPad stuff and push as he wants to watch his little show. He wants to watch Coco Miller. And he knows how to get there and push the button and so forth, how to go to the next episode. He knows where the Graham Cracker my grandson loves, Graham Crackers. He knows all that stuff. So they can be trained. They can be taught. Now how soon? It's going to vary from child to child. It's going to vary from child to child. Okay? I covered that one. There's a good question. This is a really good question. Listen, why did you leave Oak Cliff Bible Fellowship? It's a good question. I've got a good answer. It has to do with this cup. The judge told me you couldn't go to prison and keep going there. The judge told me you can't go to prison and still keep going to Oak Cliff Bible Fellowship. Now if they want to come visit you, that's different. So that's why it was them guys with the guns and handcuffs came and got me. Yeah, I was on my federal vacation. That's why I went on tour. I went on tour. So yeah, I wish your honor, I'll be good. I'll be good next time, your honor. I promise you. I promise you. I was talking to somebody today too. Guys, it was really the best thing that ever happened to me. It really was. Hated it. Hated it. Hated it. Hated it. Hated it. But I embrace it now. Wouldn't change what it's done for me at all. At all. One day, I've told you guys, and people have tried to surmise even somebody who's against me, thinks that they know why I got out. Thinks that they know why I got out. Now at the time the federal prison was doing this and this and that, you have no idea how I got out. You have no idea how I got out. You can't know because I haven't told you. I was sharing something with my wife the other day about me getting out. One day I'm going to tell you. I don't have a problem telling you even now, but yeah, I was on my way to see some more people. I had a date with the prison guard or prison guards. Anyway, let me continue. Let me continue. But no, I like Oakley Bible Fellowship. It's changed though. When I left, Oakley Bible Fellowship had a lot more whites and Hispanics there now than they do now. It's without getting into it. There are less whites and Hispanics there now. There's still a good number, but not like it used to be. There's a good question. Of all the different types of laws, moral, civil, ceremonial, judicial, which one should us Christians really focus on? You don't have to focus on any of them. You don't have to focus on any of them. What you should focus on is Christ. What did he say? Because that way you don't have to even muddy the waters. You can simply just love God and love these other people that get on your nerves all the time. You know, the Christians. And the non-Christians. If you do that, guess what? You don't have to worry about trying to obey all the laws that God wants you to because you will take care of those. I won't cuss him out because I love him like I love me. I'm going to steam him highly matter of fact more so than I steam myself. I'm going to look out for his best interest. He gets a brand new car. Amen. Praise God that the Lord is blessing him. I won't be jealous of him. I won't be envious. And I'm going to love the Lord with all my heart. And then you'll fulfill everything that he wants you to fulfill. Amen. Thank you, your God, Ty. He didn't ask a question. He just gave a super chat. Appreciate that, my brother. Thank you. I got to remember to take these off too. When Paul was about to get the right hand of fellowship the other apostles stated they perceived the grace of God on him. Isn't that indication that the Holy Spirit that supplies to one another? That could be. It very well could be. Or it could also mean that they also saw some actual actions and heard some things. Because let's be honest. Sometimes what we think is the Holy Spirit ain't and sometimes who we think is saved ain't sometimes who we think ain't is. And so sometimes your feeling I'm just using that word of the Holy Spirit your sensing of the Holy Spirit might be valid. But often times you compare that with their actions with their mouths and so forth. Yeah, you know I see that. I see that. I'm sorry, I just went to some, I'm going to answer this question even though I haven't marked it. What level of education or comprehension does one need to properly understand the Bible? Third grade, college, none, etc. There is no level of education that you need. There really isn't. What you really need is a heart. A heart and an open mind. There are people that I know that can just barely read and get a good understanding of the Bible. There are people that can read. Tremendous. There are people that can do all sorts of things with their mind and still can't get an understanding of the Bible. So there is none. It requires a level in your heart to get a true understanding. Are you pre-trib, post-trib, mid-trib, pre-wrath? Why or why not? I am pre-trib because I take a literal hermeneutic. And so, and I'll cover that again. I actually have a video over that. So if you type in smart Christians, pre-trib relation, then you'll see. You'll see why. I'll cover that. And that's why I am. Who do I think built the pyramid? Some slaves. Some slaves. I don't know what color they were, but some slaves. By the way, you want interesting guys? Now, this is an historical fact, too. Because we think that when I say the term slaves, we think automatically some dark-skinned folk. Did you all know that there were a lot of Europeans? Matter of fact, the first people, by and large, that were enslaved because of their color of their skin were European, or lighter-skinned people enslaved by dark-skinned people because, well, they just had a racial bias. So the first people that we saw who, by and large, had a racial animus towards people were blacks in Africa who had an issue with people further north. Now, they weren't the only ones who had a racial animus towards other people, though. Obviously, white folks did. Asian, we all do because that's just how we are. We're just rotten people. But I thought when I was super, super pro-black, and I mean, when I say super pro-black, I was super pro-black. Wow, I came... I was super, super, super pro-black. I went to a Farrakhan rally. Matter of fact, I went to a Farrakhan rally. I was about 15, 20 feet away from Farrakhan, eating it up. I was eating it up. Just loved everything they said. Because sometimes, you know, the devil can say some things that are true to kind of get you enamored. But who do I think put the pyramids? And the reason I brought this up is because in my super, super, super pro-blackness, I thought about the pyramids and what we thought or we still may think might be the original name for Egypt and so forth. It's a weird period in my life, by the way. But one of the things that I came to understand was this. Now, you got to hear the whole thing. That in my super, super pro-black days, that everywhere the white man went, he raped, he murdered, he pillaged, he destroyed. Everywhere the white man went, he raped, murdered, pillaged, and destroyed. Yeah, and it's true. No one can deny that. And as I did more of my research and looked at everywhere the black man went, everywhere the black man went, guess what? He raped, murdered, pillaged, and destroyed. Huh. Isn't that interesting? Everywhere every man goes. He rapes, murders, pillaged, and destroys. That's what he does. This is what we do. So, white, black, Hispanic, there are some vile men and some vile kingdoms out there. Or not even out there, but also have been out there. All right, let me keep moving, let me keep moving. Let me pretend like chess champ is here telling me to hurry along. People who have had a near-death experience have been verified to have died for a time that come back with a story testimony. Should they? I've thought about this. I have actually thought about this. I don't know. I don't know. There's just no way to... So what you do is you take it with a grain of salt. You take it with a grain of salt that you've heard these people, even who died on their way to dying and they're semi-comatose, semi-alert and they're saying that they see a light. And then a lot of them have the same sort of experiences. I don't know what to do with that. And you can't use the Bible because the Bible doesn't give us any sort of indication. And so I would say I take it with a grain of salt. Okay, interesting. Now these near-death experiences that don't match the Bible go against the Bible. They died and went to hell and came back or died and went to heaven and came back. Well, no, we reject that. So I saw Jesus and I saw God and I saw Joseph Smith and I saw King Tut and I saw my old dead cat and my old dead dog. Both of them were chilling. They were good friends. Yeah, so... My question is about women teaching men in Sunday school should it cease? Yes, it should cease. Because I stopped teaching because men were in the class. I expressed the pastor about my feelings, but another woman teaches. Let's go to the passage. Let's go to the passage. I heard someone say this yesterday and I'm not going to say the person's name. I'm not going to say the person's name, but he made a statement and I said, man, I wish I could just jump on and just explain this to him. Because there was, he says, but I do not allow a woman to teach or to exercise authority over men, but to remain quiet. And the person was saying, he kind of takes it as though they're saying teach or exercise is that one thing or is that two things? In other words, exercising authority as your teacher. No, these are two separate things. I don't allow one to teach over a man or to exercise. How do we know? Here it is. The das game, which is to teach, but to teach Gnaike, Gnaike, which is a woman, epe treo, epe treo, trepo, which is to allow. So I'm not allowing a woman to teach. That's one portion of it. Ude, which is nor or or, and then here's this word, which by the way, sounds like authority, athunate athuntane, which is to have authority andros, authority over men, or to authoritate over men and be authority over a man. So it's two separate things. And so you can't teach over a man, nor can you also have authority over a man. So you can't come back and say, well, I'm teaching them, but I'm not having authority. No, he's clear in that. That part is clear. But kudos to you for saying, you know what, I see this and I shouldn't be there. That speaks, honestly, seriously, that speaks a lot about you. It really does. Because the natural tendency, I can do this. I can handle this. What can a man do that I can't do? Well, get a woman pregnant for number one. Bench press 600 pounds. If he gets drunk enough, dunk a basketball consistently. I'm kidding. But still the point is though, that does speak a lot about you. High volumes, volumes about you. It really does. How do you discern what God wants you to do in prayer? What you do is this, is all you can guys, what is my goal in life? What is my mission? What does God want me to do? Well, what you can do is all you can do. So get busy. Again, if you're loving the Lord as much as you possibly can and loving your fellow neighbors, I believe that God will guide you. He will direct you. He'll put you to where you need to be. And so let's say you got to get that he's tasked you with. Because there's going to be a purpose to what he wants for you. The Bible tells us and acts that when David's purpose was fulfilled, after he fulfilled his purpose, the Bible said he died. The Bible said he died. He rested with his fathers. And so whatever that purpose is, no one knows. Maybe your purpose is to play the piano. Maybe your purpose is to sweep. Maybe your purpose is to preach. Maybe your purpose is to teach. Maybe your purpose is to just go and comfort people. He's gifted you and will gift you in areas to do his ministry. So as Paul says, fulfill your ministry as an evangelist. So whatever it is, it's evangelistic in nature. You may not think so. You may not think that's in their writing or typing or whatever it is. It's evangelistic, but it is because they'll see your light, the light of God in you shining. And so do that and then watch how he kind of just moves you along. So do that. Okay. Does God choose people based on their willingness to receive him by no before I continue? No. And how does his foreknowledge of that not play into predestination? I need clarity after the election stream. Okay. It can't be that God sees you going to do something or you have the ability or the arts to say your words, the willingness because we're not willing. We're willing for the day. Again, we, I feel, you know what? Yeah. Yeah. You know what? Yeah. I think I'm going to church today. I just feel God all in my heart. I feel, I feel Godly. I feel holy. This is Sunday. Tuesday comes. Man, I got, I got a cup full of vodka and orange juice. Some of you old heads know. Got a joint in this hand, watching porn. I'll get back to Jesus later. I don't feel holy today. I feel like I feel doing me God knows my heart though. So he's not doing it based on that because if he did it based on your willingness, then you wouldn't, he wouldn't choose. He doesn't. He sees that none of you, not one of you are going to do right. You just won't. You just hardheaded. But if he did, that would nullify the, even the need or the use for the word predestined to predestine someone is to destined prior to them doing anything is to limit in advance. It's to caught. You are, you are doing so. It can't be that he does so on what they see. I mean, what he sees they're going to do, then that's not predestined. Okay. So again, he sees and I think he gives them and give everyone a chance, give everyone a shot and everyone's going to say, Nope, Nope, Nope. So in light of that, he's got to do something on. He's got to do something. He's got to step in. We see that in the old test and him stepping in and doing something. And we see in the new test and we see it in our lives as well. Hope that helps. Oh, I'm coming to that. I'm coming to that. I'm coming to that. I'm coming. Do I read the Book of Jasher? No, there's no such. Well, there is no what we call extant copies of the Book of Jasher. And oh, by the way, even if there were, it's not, it's not even, it's not a canonical book. Exit means there's no surviving copies. There are some people that are actually printing up some Book of Jasher's and putting it out. But we know that there are none. So I'd be careful reading that. But if you want to just just read, just be reading. That's fine. That's fine is oh, once they've always saved the same as he who endures to the end shall be saved. The way that passage is written says the enduring ones shall be saved. And if you are eternally saved secure, you are one of the enduring ones. Amen. Amen. Thank you, Washington 83. I love that. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Will glorified bodies be able to fly? I don't know. BJ, the Bible didn't tell us. Well, the Bible does not tell us the Bible does not tell us. Can you explain Romans chapter 81? KJV in ASB says different. Okay, so let's do that. Let's go to Romans chapter. Oh, I know what you're talking about. I know the little extra part at it. Okay. I'm about to get in trouble with some people. I'm getting you ready to get in trouble with some people. Okay, let's put on the screen. Romans 81. Let's do this. KJV. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. KJV. One, two, three, four, five. Let's get rid of the Greek. And if we read it, there is now no condemnation of them which are in Christ Jesus and in the in ASB that ends. But the, but the King James version says, who walked not after the flesh but after the spirit, Let's see which one is correct. Let's go to this. No, not that. Not that. No. There it is. let's get rid of this KJV part 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. You'll see some markings on my little Bible, like this right here. This tells me that there are some manuscripts that don't have that, who walk after. Well, matter of fact, what does it say? The Greek says, Kata Sarkai, prayer patusan, which is who will not, I'm sorry, may kata, if y'all look down below, hold on, down below right here. This is what I'm reading. May kata sarkai, which is not according to the flesh, prayer patusan, which is who are not walking. So not walking according to the flesh. And then you see these right here. These are referring to different manuscripts that may have it. The majority and the early ones don't really have that. And so it's likely that that portion was added. Now, here's what I want you all to caution you guys on. Because KJV only, I'm not saying that you are one RTA, but a lot of KJV only people will say this, that it's wrong to take away from the Bible. And like in the NIV, the NIV takes away or certain translations take away. Maybe it's not that they're taking away. Maybe it is that the KJV did add. Now, does that mean that either one of those versions are bad? No. No, because it's the message. It's the message. It's not the verbatim. It's the point that you're trying to get across. And the reason why we know it's the message and not the verbatim, because throughout the New Testament, even Jesus does so. Well, He'll quote the Old Testament, but He won't quote it in the Hebrew. He'll quote it in the Septuagint. And it's different in the Septuagint versus the Hebrew text. Are you with me? And so the question you got to figure out, though, is did the King James version add or did the, in this case, the NASB take away? In this case, the translators probably added based on the manuscripts they had. So, and now somebody's gonna be mad at me too for saying that. Somebody's gonna be mad at me. How dare you impugny? How dare you impugny? The KJV. So you say, Corey, that someone who years later became a gay Christian are still saved. Well, no, that's not what I'm saying. That's not what I'm saying, Lance. What I'm saying is a couple of things. A Christian won't turn to live this lifestyle. If this Christian turns to live that lifestyle, then what do we know that that person wasn't a Christian? It means they call themselves a Christian. Now, but here's a question, though. Let me ask you guys a question. Let me ask you all this question. A Christian turns to live a lifestyle of just being angry and lashing out at people. I'm a Christian, but I've got this anger issue in me and I tell folks like it is. I'm just, I'm, it's a sin too, right? A Christian turns into being very selfish. What about that? So, both are wrong or all three of them are wrong, but if your lifestyle is that of sin, then the indication is just because you called yourself a Christian before, it doesn't mean that you actually were. And so it may be the person was never a Christian to begin with. Hey, man. Hey, man. Okay. Let me ask you a few more questions. Would you say, oh, yeah, I'll leave that alone for now. Neland might not, I might not, Neland, keep leaving it alone. I was showing some clips to my wife yesterday. You know, I can, let me just say this. I can, I can end a lot of the issues, a lot of the stuff is being said. I really could. I really could. But I said this, and some of you know what I'm saying? Those who don't, you don't need to know. But sometimes you have a person empty all their bullets out. You let them, let them keep shooting to empty all their bullets. And if you're still standing, then they have nothing else left. And then you shoot your shot. I could release a video or two and just kind of end a lot of the arguments. Wait a second. Wait a second. This was said, that was said, that was it. And oh, you knew this and you said, I really could, but I'm going to have fun with it. I'm going to have fun with it for a while. So, and I'll watch other people's videos. Just have fun with it. Amen. Oh, you were okay, Neland. Okay. Okay. I'm sorry. Forgive me. Forgive me. All right. Let's answer a few more of these questions. Should Christians watch movies? I watched a movie last night, as a matter of fact. The Bible says, do everything unto the Lord. I have been thinking about this question for a couple of weeks now. Any thoughts or scriptures? Well, let me think of this passage. Hold on one second. Let me, let me type over here. Let's see if I can look at this passage. Yeah. Let me, I think this is it. I think this is it. Is it two? No, maybe it's 12. Well, maybe it's verse 12. Maybe it's, no way. Okay. Maybe it's a different chapter. Okay. Here we go. Here we go. Here we go. This might help. All things are lawful for me, but not all things are profitable. All things are lawful for me, but I will not be mastered by anything. Food is for the stomach and the stomach is for food, but God will do away with both of them. Yet the body is not for immorality, but for the Lord and the Lord is for the body. Now, let me just, here's the point that I'm getting at. There might be some things that you could do that it's okay to do, but it might not be wise to or nor should you do. Okay. You've got to figure out what you can handle. If this is going to cause you to sin, number one, then don't do it. So if the movie is going to cause you to sin, or it might just be that you can watch movies, but certain movies, because movies in and of themselves are not inherently wrong. There's some things that we look at in life that are hollow. First of all, first of all, can we, can we just be honest? There are some stuff that you watch on YouTube that you watch, that you look at on Facebook that's worse than what you see in the movies. So don't give up movies, but then go to scrolling Facebook over and over again, thinking that, yeah, but I don't watch movies. I don't watch these movies, but I'm watching all this crazy stuff on, on YouTube. I'm watching all this crazy stuff on Facebook. We said, well, I'm going to avoid some of the secular stuff, but you watch, but you're around secular people and you absorb what they're saying. You'll sit and engage in the talk, the gossip and so forth that your secular co-workers or family members might be engaged in. Well, if the secular movie is wrong, but you just get it, but now you're getting that live, what's the difference? Matter of fact, I submit to you that it's the live stuff, the live secular stuff that's far more damaging than the secular stuff that you see on TV because this person can talk to you and make you feel like, yeah, I get you to see their point. Now the movie can too as well. The point is be consistent and try to come out from among all the bad stuff. Are you with me? So in and of itself, secular stuff isn't bad, but now you've got to determine what you can handle. For example, if you put a pile of cocaine in front of me, it won't do anything. I will vacuum it up. Some people you put it in front of them, they are, hey, listen, I'll see you all next week. This woman can walk in front of some men, but she can't walk in front of other men. Some men, they can't handle it, whereas others could, right? Some things you're going to have to determine for yourself. I can't, and so I won't make this little blanket rule and make us kind of legalistic. I can't do that. Won't do that. Okay? Touch. I will get arrested. Listen, that stuff is gone. It's gone. It's gone. Yeah, I can't be around that stuff. I can't be, I can't be around that stuff. So, but some stuff like me, I can watch Walking Dead or I can watch Game of Thrones and I might, I might move one way or the other. Now some of the folks came watching me like, hey, listen, and I get that you, you determine your big boy, your big girl, you can figure it out. If there's any doubt, then don't. Amen? Amen. Okay. Let me answer a couple more questions. I have a big weekend, by the way, guys. I have a big weekend, a busy, I should say, a busy, a busy weekend. One of them happens to be when you married this person for so long. Can you imagine being with someone for 30-ish years plus or minus? That's my baby. Our anniversary is coming up. Yeah. Some of you guys are funny. I was watching Spider-Man. No, I don't know. How do I feel about the chosen? I don't know. I don't know. How do I feel about the chosen? Because I've never watched it. I've never watched it. But now if I did, are there, if I were to watch it, I would imagine there would be some things in the chosen that aren't necessarily biblical. I watched the passion and everything in the passion was not biblical. There were some Catholic elements that were thrown in the passion. So I don't know. I can't give an assessment about it because just don't know. Just don't know enough about it. Can Christians go to therapy? Sure they can. Sure they can. They can go to Christian therapy or they can go to a secular therapy. Yeah. Now if you go to some sort of secular therapy, as long as what they're doing or saying, then counter-scripture. But if you can find a Christian, go to Christian therapy, that would be preferred. Sometimes you just can't. So Amy in Bible 2 says, hey, we say, hey back. Hey, I need an answer. Please, greatness. What is that? Okay. I got to type it in. Okay. I was baptized in a full gospel church. I'm attending a Baptist church and the pastor says, if I join, he'll require me to get rebaptized under his church authority. That's not scriptural. That's not scriptural. But if you want to go to that church and you don't find a problem with it, go ahead. I mean, it's not wrong. There's nothing wrong with getting rebaptized. Now he seemed like he, hey, you got to, my baptism is the only baptism that works. But now that might send some red, I'll be honest, that might send up some red flags. That would send up some red flags. So getting rebaptized is not, is neither biblical nor unbiblical. His reasons for that might be a problem. His reasons for that might be a problem. Does Jesus give in John 2023 the apostles, the authority to forgive sins? No, he does not. Matter of fact, let's go there. I want to show you so. John 2023. And my voice is kind of holding out a little bit better than I thought it would. I probably did the whole Hebrews thing, but we'll do it tomorrow. If you forgive the sins of any, their sins have been forgiven. Notice what he's doing. This is after he breathes on them says receive the Holy Spirit. Now he's saying, if you forgive sins, their sins will be forgiven. Now he's not giving them authority to forgive sins, but what he is saying is if you notice how this, this, this English in the NASB says have been forgiven. And if you retain their sins, they have been retained. This is in the perfect tense, which means they will have been. It's similar when he says that I hear the keys of heaven and whatever you buy on earth will have been bound. And whatever you loose on earth will have been loose. What he's saying is not that you don't have the authority to do so, but what you will do because you have the Holy Spirit, specifically these apostles, you will have the authority to recognize what heaven has already done. That's all that's happening. He's not giving them any authority that, that only God has. So all righty, I said, I'm going to take one more question, but I keep saying that. I'm wondering what you ask. Where is it? Where is it? I just, oh, does being baptized bring you closer? Cory, hold on. Hold on. Now I can do it. Does being baptized bring you closer to God? Haven't you been baptized yet and really want to? The water baptism, it doesn't bring, no, that doesn't bring you closer to God. Now, Spirit baptism does, that's the only way that you can get closer to God. But water baptism, no. Now, a lot of folks have been baptized and are far away from God. But getting baptized is really you just saying, Hey, guys, this is me. I am living for the Lord. I am, I am baptized, hear me roar. And that's fine. That's fine, but it doesn't, it doesn't, in and of itself bring you closer. But it is, it's just you saying, guys, I'm making a public profession that I am in the family. So when you get baptized, you have to repent. Why does a child need repentance? Well, if you're talking about Acts 238, this is exegetical, meaning this is all kind of one thing. Repent, be baptized, and then receive the Holy Spirit. It's not saying step one, step two, step three, that's not what Acts 238 is saying. How do I know? Even if you don't take my Greek grammatical understanding of the text. Here's how you know, because if we read that, we don't see all of them doing that in Acts too. The baptism he's speaking of is receiving the Holy Spirit. Okay. And so it's exegetical, and it's all kind of one thing because again, a born again believer has been baptized and is repentant, emblematic of them, or as verified by them receiving the Holy Spirit. That's how that passage is to be taken. I got to go dig up it. I did a video on that. I know I did. I got to dig it up and figure it'd be cool if I actually could remember what I said. Corey, will you answer my question, please? No. What about that? No, I'm kidding. Let me go look it up. Hey, Renee. Hey, by the way, you guys are smart because you guys do that. I mean, I may not see your question, but I may see that. Okay. Where's it at? Okay. Where's it at? Okay. This probably asks a tough question. Would 1st Thessalonians 5 from 3 be an example of what it means to pray in the Spirit, or is this verse just encouragement in the truth? 1st Thessalonians 523. So this is what I'm talking about. I typed in 1st Thessalonians 523. Why does this software want me to go to the? There's no 1st the in the Bible. That's what I'm talking about. That's where a lot of guys has it beat on in that regard. That's the one. But anyway, 1st Thessalonians 523. Wait a second. Now, may the God of peace himself sanctify you entirely and make your spirit and soul and your body be preserved complete without blame at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. And so you're asking, would this be an example of what it means to pray in the Spirit? Huh? No, I don't think so. This is definitely encouragement though. Now, may the, may the God of peace himself sanctify you entirely and may your spirit and your soul be preserved completely or complete without blame at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. Yeah, I just said this is simply encouragement. That's how I would take it. That doesn't mean that you shouldn't pray in the spirit, which means pray according to the spirit under the power of the authority. Okay. Alrighty. This might, this might surprise some folks. What are your thoughts on shouting and praise? I honestly, I've never really had a problem with people shouting, praising. I've never had a problem with that. I've never had a problem with folks that folks get so overcome. They want to dance and I never have a problem with that. I have a problem with it in one regard. If that's not you, if that's just you putting on a show at church, because do you do that at home by yourself? Then, then, hey, if that's who you are, there are some folks when they laugh, the whole world knows. When they get excited, the whole world knows. But if that's just you putting on a show, then we got a problem because you're being disingenuous. But if there's ever place that you should be overcome with emotion and it should show it's in the presence of the Lord. So I don't, I don't have a, I don't have a problem with that. Who, who are you all talking about chunk the cat through a cat? Who are you all talking about? Oh God, don't do that hit or miss seven seven. Don't do that. Now I have to go look. Let me put up Dino's response. Then I got to go find yours. There are so many questions guys. There are 1500 responses up here. Not all questions, but I can't see them all. I can't, don't, don't make me feel so bad. Don't make me feel so bad because the one I want to get off here, I want to, I want to go relax. So now I got to go find hit or miss. I know what you're doing though. I know what you're doing. You think you're slick. You knew, I know that you're not feeling that bad about what you said, but this is your way of getting my attention. Smart. That's smart. Hit or miss. Let's see if I can find it. Is hating a side of a born-again Christian? They hates. Oh, if you hate, when you say hate, people say, ah, you should, Christian shouldn't hate. Hates a strong word. Well, no, it's not. Hates actual, it's an actual word. You can hate some things. What you hate, who you hate is the issue. Right. I can hate sin. That's good. I can hate my, my failures. I can hate when I do wrong. I can hate, I can hate when I get angry. Now, does it mean that I hate me or hate a person? No. I hate. I literally hate when people drive like maniacs. You drive 80 miles an hour and then we get to the light and you're right there with me. I hate that. Do I hate the person? No. Do I hate the car? No. I, I love, people do certain things. So I hate violence. Well, I take it back. I take it back. I don't hate, I do not hate violence. I hate when bullies use violence on weak people, on people that they can just run over. I hate that. So no, hating is not, no, just, you can hate righteously. So it says I hate the red socks. Uh-oh. That says I hate the red socks. Do I hate the Coles? What, what moderators? Can you ban this person? No, I'm kidding. I'm kidding. No, I don't hate the Coles. Why would I hate the Coles? Do you realize what Jesus said? Do I have, do I have to give you that? Do I have to read Luke to you guys again when they ask you why are you untying this Coles? Tell them. The Lord needs the Coles. How about the Cowboys? Do I hate the Cowboys? Why would I hate a good comedy? The Cowboys, no, I don't hate the Cowboys. I love the Cowboys. I've had some days where I just wasn't, wasn't feeling good and the Cowboys have made my day. Matter of fact, guess what? See, my son-in-law, tell you what he did. Some people you just ought to leave alone. Some people you ought to leave alone. I'm one of them. If you're a Cowboy fan, you, you're never, you can never get over on me. You, I don't care how, how good you think you can talk. I don't care how clever you think you are, not when it comes to the Cowboys. So what did he do? He gave me a little, little wood placard that says, home of the Cowboys and had my wife in on and everything. That some, she said, honey, somebody left something on the, on the, on the, uh, the little gate to come to the house. I'm looking around. I said, okay, home of the Cowboys. She said, what are you gonna do with that? Nothing. Are you gonna, are you not gonna break it or throw it away? Of course, I'm not going to break it or throw it away. Of course I'm not. As a matter of fact, let me see if I have it here. Let me see if I can show you guys what I did. Where is it at? Uh, let's see. I want to, I want to show you guys what I did. Do I have it here? That's going to take too long for me to find it. What I did was I took that thing and it's now on the, the toilet. Yep. I took that placard and put it on the toilet. So if a person wants to go to the, to the bathroom, to the toilet, home of the Cowboys is this toilet. Yeah. They laughed at that. They laughed at that. So, hey, what I did with it, I need, I need another one for the other bathroom. I need another one for the other bathroom. I knew one guy though. He took, he, uh, he had, he turned the water off, got all the water out of the toilet and he put the little Cowboys star of the emblem inside the toilet. Yes, sir. Yes, I did. He had it coming. Did he, did he, did he not have it coming? Why would he do that? Why would he do that? No, he had it coming. I put the Cowboys where they belong. That is the home of the Cowboys, the toilet. They won't go to Superbowl, but they'll be at the toilet bowl. Why haven't you talked about the Watcher Angels that fell from heaven, making these giant people? I haven't, have you, I haven't seen them. Why would I talk? I haven't seen them. I haven't seen them. So I couldn't. You seen some giants? When I see them, I'll talk about them, but I haven't seen them. I haven't heard about what about the Eagles? Don't they play against the Cowboys? Well, sure. I like the Eagles. Sorry, Dinah. I know you're a Cowboys fan. And I, I tried to catch your live stream. I came on right. I saw it and I came on right at the very end. I said, talk on it. So I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Is James 514 through 16 talking about physical healing? I don't think so. I don't think so. Why? Because the point of James, by the way, someone, someone did a video. I just had a catch. I said, well, let me see what he's talking about. Let me look what he's talking about. He said that he, he disregarded what I said about James 519, where it says that if someone among you, and I said, this is speaking to Christians about those who are non-Christians among, he says, well, if you go five verses earlier in verse 14, it says if anyone among you is sick. And I said, well, let's just see if it's in keeping with what James is saying in chapter five. James is speaking about, I think, spiritual salvation. And I don't think that James 514 as well, 13, 14, 15, and so forth, is speaking about an actual physical salvation. You know why? I mean physical element. I think he's speaking spiritually. The reason why is because if he's speaking physically, how often does we come in and we pray for someone sick that it fails? Let's be honest. A lot of times we pray for someone that's sick and they don't get healed. I don't care how super faithful you think you are, you've had moments where you pray for someone to get well and they did not get well. But what about the prayer of the rights of a person who's actually, we're talking about their salvation? That prayer works all the time. That person who is going through something, if they are praying not for physical well-being, but spiritual, that person themselves, they become saved. And so I look at it that way, not physically, but spiritually. And then that goes right along with verses 19 and 20. You guys are horrible. Look at this. Look at this. Look at this. Flattery will get you everywhere, I guess. Cory, because you are such all cool miner, can you answer Nieland? And then I guess if you want mine too, I'll even say the coats are better than the Broncos sometimes. Okay, now I got to go to Nieland and then Jeff. Okay. If it's not, this better not be any tough questions too. It's too late in the day to answer tough questions. Okay. Where is Nieland? Where is Nieland's? Where is Nieland's? Okay. Can you answer my question on Ezekiel? Okay. Nieland's question on Ezekiel. I didn't answer your question. If I didn't, I guess I didn't. Nieland's, Nieland has asked guys, I should, we should punish Nieland. Nieland has asked, as I'm scrolling up, he keeps asking as I go further and further and further, can you answer my question on Ezekiel 36? Can you answer my question? I wish Nieland has asked the question. So now I'm looking for it. Okay. Wait a second. Wait a second. You got two questions. Okay. Okay. Here it is. Okay. You had the one about song. Now you got the one about Ezekiel 36. I'm never getting off this channel. Ezekiel 36, 31. Then you will remember your evil ways and your deeds that were not good, and you will loathe yourselves in your own sight for your iniquities and your abominations. I am not doing this for your sake, particularly as a Lord. Let it be known to you. Be ashamed and confounded for your ways, O Israel. So now your question is, isn't this the result of the new heart, the knowledge of sin at your rebirth? Let's go back to this question. Let's go back to this. He says, then you will remember your evil ways. Now, who's he speaking of? He's speaking of Israel. And there's a, there's something in here that you need to check out as well. Remember your evil ways and your deeds that, that, that were not good, and you will loathe yourselves. Now this does happen as a person gets this new disposition in them, and you will loathe yourselves in your own sight for your iniquities and your abomination. Notice what he says. I am not doing this for your sake, declares the Lord God. Let it be known to you. Be ashamed and confounded for your old, for your ways, O Israel. Who's sake is he doing it for, by the way? Anyone know who's sake he's doing it for? Does anyone know who's sake that he's doing it for? I do have stuff to do. I know I keep answering. Look at this question. Why do you keep answering questions? I don't know. I don't know. I'm a big softy. Well, well, yes and no. Yes. Yeah. He's doing it for his own sake, but, but more so, more so who, who's, who's the reason why he's doing it now for their own sake? Not because you guys are great. No, no, no, no, no, no. No, well, I was for his glory, but no, remember he says, I'm not doing it. Now he said this earlier in the Old Testament, several times, not doing it for your sake, but for Abraham, for Isaac and for Jacob, because the promise that I made to them now obviously ultimately is for his own glory. Are you with me? But he said, not because you guys don't deserve anything. Matter of fact, the truth be told, neither does Abraham, Isaac or Jacob, but because he made a promise to them. That's why. That's it, CG. That's it. What did you say? What did Vance say? Okay. I thought he, I thought, I thought Vance made a shot at my colts, which by the way, I do like the Broncos. I do, I do, I do like the Broncos. Now I've got to go to, who did I just say I was going to? Who did I just say? Man, my mind is going to, who, who just told me to go answer Neelan's question? Oh, Jeff did. Jeff did. I'm sorry. What was Jeff's question? Wow. And the problem is when I type in your name, I get everything that you said. So where's your question? Did you guys put a Q in front of your question? Luke 16, 9, what's up with the syntax? Or are you going to have to do a vid on Daniel? Let's go to Luke 16, 9, and then I'm getting ready to get out of here. You guys, how it is later than I thought it was. Luke 16, 9. And I say to you, make friends for yourselves by no means of the wealth of unrighteousness, so that when it fails, they will receive you into terms of what I'm not, I'm not following your question though. I'm, I'm miss, I'm not following what you're saying. Oh, you says, it seems opposite to the parable in the context. So now I got to read the whole thing. Now I got to read the whole thing. Thank you, Jeff. Okay. Now he was also saying to the disciples, there was a rich man who had a manager and this manager was reported to him as squandering his possessions. And he called him and said to him, what is this that I hear about you? Give an accounting of your management for you can no longer be manager. The manager said to himself, what shall I do since my master is taking the management away from me. I am not strong enough to dig. I am, I am ashamed to beg. I know what I shall do. So that when I am removed from the management, people will welcome me into their home. And he summoned each one of his masters debtor and he began saying to the first, how much do you owe my master? And he said, a hundred measures of oil. And he said to him, take your bills and sit down quickly and write 50. Then he said to another, how much do you owe? And he said a hundred measures of wheat. He says, take your bill and write down and write 80. And his master praised the unrighteous manager because he had acted truly for the sons of this age are more true in relation to their own kind than the sons of life. I say to you, make friends for yourselves by means of wealth. I'm sorry. And I say to you, make friends for yourselves by means of the wealth of unrighteousness so that when it fails, they will receive you into the eternal dwellings. And so your question was, the syntax seems opposite to the parable in context. What do you mean? And if you want me to look at the syntax, yeah, this is going to take your time. And see, Luke is the kind of person. I don't mind. I don't, I really don't mind. I really don't mind it. I really don't mind them. They're not, it's not that they're not respecting my time. It's really me. It's really me. I had a professor in the class who I got to go, I got to go, I got to go, I got to go, and he just kept taking questions. So I do mind, but I don't mind. I know how to push just a little red button and get up out of here. But I have, but thank you though. You're right though. You're right. You're right though. You're right. Was he always saying people do to you what you let them do? And so they keep asking questions because this goofy guy keeps answering questions. He keeps saying, he keeps saying, which is funny though. I keep saying, you know what's funny? I'm seeing your text, but I'm not seeing it right. I see it. I see it here now, but I see it more here than I do over there. Here's another one. I can't answer that question though. Jeff, I'd have to go back and look at the actual first Corinthians 13. I'm sorry, put the thing right. Cory, you goofball. First Corinthians 13 one, if I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only resounding gong or claiming symbol. What are the tongues of angels? There are no tongues of angels. He's speaking hyperbolic, hypothetically, because he goes on to say some other things. If I have all wisdom and all knowledge, if I'm able to remove a mountain, well, no one's done that. But he's saying that the point is, if I can do this, if I can fly to the moon, but don't have love, then I just went to the moon for no reason. It was nothing. Same thing here. And so we don't know that there actually is a tongue or language of angels. We've never seen it in the Bible. But his point is, and maybe he's not even speaking of an actual language. He might be speaking of the eloquence or the ferocity or the wisdom or the power of an angel. That can also be taken that way. And so we just don't know, but we do know this, there has not been an example in the Bible of an angel speaking in a language other than an angel or a person speaking in language that angels speak. What language do angels speak? But Paul's point is doing everything with love. So guys, I love you. I have got to go. I'm pretty sure maybe you all do too. By the way, I don't know. I want to tell you the other secret. I was going to tell you something about yesterday's video. After a while, I intended on going a few minutes longer and didn't make all my points that I wanted to on yesterday's video. You know why? Because I was I was guzzling Gatorade down like it was going out of style and then my coffee and I had to go. I had to go. I had to go. And so I pushed that button as quickly as I could. Anyway, guys, I love you all. I look forward to seeing tomorrow we're going to go over Hebrews. It's going to be about an hour and a half. There's a whole lot of good stuff in Hebrews. He makes very important points in Hebrews. He's going to talk about the Trinity. He's going to talk about eternal salvation. He's going to talk about does God should we read a certain passage as to who as to whether God still speaks or not. So we're going to cover a large chunk of Hebrews. We're going to get at least two Hebrews 11 or 12. So anyway, guys, love you all and I will see you all tomorrow. God bless you.
