 question to what are your thoughts on the turkish the turkish political guy who uh blasphemed god and then died you when it was funny i actually recorded a video i actually it's it's over here i recorded a reaction to that and i said you know what i'm i'm not going to do it i don't you know i don't i don't feel like doing it i don't want to do it because i thought that it might even look like poor taste or it might be a you just trying to just make a video first of all i do believe this the bible is clear as far as i'm concerned that anyone that blesses israel will be blessed and anyone that curses them will be cursed i believe what why america is in the position that it's in the favor that it's had is only because of its blessing towards israel also because for the for the longest part for the longest time america was uh guilty of sending out a lot of missionaries to the world and so i think that god would would would would black would would um would take care of us because of that those countries that curse israel according to genesis 12 you look at the faith that they're in if you think that that doesn't mean anything i think it does so you look at the state the countries that have cursed israel versus the the countries that have blessed them i would rather be in the condition of the countries that have blessed israel look what happened to germany and then once germany kind of turned around and became part of the group that has a more favorable view of israel now look at germany look at the western countries that do look at the countries that go against israel and so uh that was kind of it was kind of odd to see he's he's he's pumping up a la and all it wasn't quite death to israel but it was close to it and then the moment he finished it and you can kind of feel something in him like he was struggling a little bit and then as he takes his next step his next step away from the podium he just collapsed and dies so anyway but anyway guys make sure that makes that you guys put a queue uh in the uh in the deal so i can know it's a question also we are not going to have any more saturday morning bible study for the next couple of weeks the next one will be the first saturday in january the reason being is because people are going to be busy out doing different things uh it's the holiday season some folks are going to be traveling and so forth and my schedule is going to be hectic so therefore let's go ahead and take a break we'll still have something going on on saturdays but we won't have the bible studies we all we are going to have a recap we pick back up a recap over everything uh the recap might be a two week recap but there are 27 is it 27 i think it's 27 bible studies that have been that have been uploaded so if you missed any they're actually in order so if you want to go check them out please uh please do so also we we're going to have an announcement uh uh real soon probably on monday as long as i don't get uh carried away on anything by the way by the way uh on monday i don't know if you've seen it i'm going to be we're not going to have a live stream on monday i don't think so a live stream on monday excuse me at five o'clock central time because on monday i will be on remnant radio uh the the three the three remnant remnant radio guys uh have invited me on so i'll be there so i will put uh a a link uh and an advertisement in the little community descriptions to let you all know uh so you all come over and check it out as well all right so that being the case let me go ahead and by the way again if anyone is interested in coming into the live stream here is the link uh again if you if you wanted what i just do if you want to make sure your face is visible and your profile name is typed in so we can know who we're talking to all right so that being the case let's go ahead and start answering some of the questions um okay not necessarily formed as a as a question but one saved always talk about this lie the naked truth first peter for 1819 k jv and if the righteous scarcely be saved where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear not sure what your question is but let's go to first peter uh for 18 and let's pull up the passes that you pull up and let's see if that has anything to do uh with either proving or disproving eternal security first peter for 18 okay oops and if it is with difficulty that the righteous is saved what will become of the godless man and the sinner therefore the therefore i'm going to read 19 also therefore those also suffer according to the will of god shall entrust their souls to the faithful creator doing what is right i don't know if i'm missing anything or not but i don't i don't i don't get the point i don't see what you're what you are uh getting at and so uh maybe there was a question asked to it maybe there was just a comment maybe i should not have grabbed it but maybe it was just a comment so but by the way by the way guys who says can we let uh can we let that along if we're going to cover i don't know how many if we were to separate different doctrines that are in the bible let's just say they're 30 we're going to cover all 30 of them for the rest of our lives we are going to cover all 30 of them for the rest of our lives and because someone asked me the other day about tongues and i said well there were some people that asked about it i had kind of moved away from it a little bit but it does come up and there are always people that have comments and questions and then behind the scenes i'm asking answering questions and talking about it so it does come up and there are some people who did not hear some of the other conversations or videos about it so anytime someone wants to have a conversation about it you just you just have because guess what you have to do you have to do the exact same thing there are some things i would like to talk about um as well but that we don't cover as often um but by the way that's going to be part of the uh the little announcement and i've kind of say something about that now that you guys are going to start helping to dictate some of the the videos that will come out some of the topics that will be covered as well so let me continue now there are some people that actually stated they wanted to come on board and a few of them felt it so they had a bone to pick with me here i am i tried to give people the opportunity let me just say this as well there was one guy i happened to notice i can't well i don't see his comment there is his i don't even remember the guy's name but he keeps saying can i hear you can you hear me now no i can't hear you now i've never read your emails i've never i i guess he made a video i never saw your video i've never nothing and it's nothing against you it's just that you're not the only person on the planet you're not the only person that comes to this channel you're not the only person to ask questions and so because of that i might not hear you don't take a fence that because i just don't happen to see you just think that there are other people other than you and i cannot get to every question i cannot get to every email i cannot address every comment i try i do the best i can but dawg going in let me just say this and i don't want i don't want to hurt any feelings but in the grand scheme of things people aren't as important as they think they are meaning i've got my family i've got my own stuff i've got things that i have to do i've got some other things i'm preparing for things i do outside of this way from away from here and so sometimes i just i've got something and also with dealing with other people and so if i don't get to your question keep asking keep asking i know and maybe you want an opportunity to talk with me i get that's why i give these you have the opportunity you can come on you can let me put the link back in the back in the screen i mean back on the deal uh so if you want to come on here's the link again uh that if a person wants to talk to me you have the opportunity nobody on youtube should ever say core i was trying to talk to you and i missed you well yeah i don't catch an email and and by the way do not ever because i don't answer them send a what is it called a message is it a messenger a messenger phone call i don't answer those i don't i don't answer those uh matter of fact i don't i do a poor job of even answering responses on facebook and messengers which i need to do better at so anyway that being the case so let's go ahead and jump into some more questions as we go did you have a christian mentor in prison i had to both learned hebrew and greek during their 20 year sentences both of them had 20 year sentences wow well we have something in common i did obviously i didn't serve the entirety of mine i hope they didn't either i didn't really have a mentor i had people that i that i was with i didn't have the occasion of running into some actual scholars they're in prison both of them actually or two of them should take both of them but two of them actually have been on the channel one is a noted scholar uh dr christopher cone he was on we were talking about the right and wrong way to kind of read the bible we were talking about a dispensational hermeneutic and then by the way he's a president of a christian university and then we also had uh j right who is uh a fairly well uh noted greek scholar he's actually a pastor now and he even wrote a book with one of the foremost or he contributed with one of the foremost greek scholars on the planet that is um dr wallace dr dayan wallace and he wrote a book called revisiting the corruption of the new testament nerdy book i actually have it it is it's a it's a nerdy read it's a greek it's a hard greek read so to speak but it's a fascinating read so it's got some other books as well that he's written as well so i didn't really have a mentor person that i would go to hey listen what about this what about that no uh but what it did afford me the opportunity to was just to talk with different people get different different ways of thinking uh because they're obviously everyone doesn't think the same way that you think they don't feel the same way that you feel and so rather than trying to impose your view on them you have to learn to listen to them and how to try to walk through what they're talking about and see if you can get them to a point of understanding that was one of the better things that i learned in prison when it taught me a lot of patience um that was probably in fact a lot of things that i did get from that uh what did you say do what you first you have to be kidding you have to be kidding you absolutely have do i think that i u i c is a great group of joint absolutely not listen i'd rather i listen i would rather you become a jehovah's witness and i'm i'm serious i would rather you become a jehovah's witness than to be an i u i c i would rather you be a Mormon than be an i u i c yeah i i really would i i really would no it's not a great group of joints a horrible group they they want they have a bible that they just kind of just shake it and see what comes out of it no no they're not there's nothing godly about them they're not christian they might look like it but no no sorry i got anyway how should you respond when someone calls you a religion calls you religious or a Pharisee when you use scripture to refute someone who is in error well i get that tossed at me and doubt and likely some of you do as well have you ever noticed that and maybe you haven't noticed this but a lot of people that that throw that term around have no clue who the Pharisees were what they did what they were like they think that the Pharisees focused on scripture they were always about the word no they weren't fine find that in the bible but jesus never said you know what about you Pharisees you guys love the word too much you're always running to the word no what he talked about one of the things he condemned him for was their reliance on tradition and the tradition was speaking of or the tradition that they came up with and they memorized those uh forsaking god's commandment for the tradition of men that's what jesus was speaking of all these extra things that you that you um that you hear about and so jesus says you've heard it said this but i tell you that you guys aren't doing anything right you got matter of fact if if jesus were to borrow my vernacular he would say you guys are horrible worthless just trash just nothing burgers that's what you guys are because they work they didn't have a good handle on the scriptures matter of fact even the best of the Pharisees who we know would be nicodemus and what did jesus say to him you a teacher of israel don't know this they were never thought of at least by jesus as someone who was really knowledgeable about the word of god and so if you are using scriptures and they're throwing out that they're throwing that that light that label that tag that shows that they have no idea who the Pharisees were uh number one but number two is don't didn't the holy spirit give us these scriptures these are people that aren't serious when someone throws it out they are i can just say this they are not serious at all because all we have the unequal measure is the word of god and we can fight and debate and argue well you you're not yielding to the holy spirit you don't have as much spirit as i do and all the stuff things that we could never know how you can't you can't measure how much holy spirit a person has but what we do have equally because two people can have the holy spirit and disagree paul and barnabas paul rebukes peter there there are differences in the body with people who do have a holy spirit what we do have in common is the word and if they don't they if they can't appreciate that then you might just if you want this is what i do if if if they start throwing it out then i'm gonna ask them i want to question are you saved are you are you saved because what saved person what genuinely saved person who loves the lord and by the way the inheritance that he left for us that we could put our hands on his word of god what saved person would devalue that what saved person wouldn't run to that so therefore i'll ask you are you saved that's my that's my response that's my retort maybe maybe you're not saved since you don't appreciate the word of god like i do okay what is the difference between genesis 127 and genesis 27 please can you explain well let's see i'll try genesis you said anora that's a nice name anora genesis 127 actually i just covered a part of that uh today let me move that move let me exchange places with this genesis 127 what was the other genesis 27 okay genesis 127 god created man in his own image in the image of god he created him male and female he created them and then genesis 27 i've got a pretty good understanding where you're going with this genesis 27 let's scroll down then the lord god formed man out of the dust from the ground and breathe into his nostrils and breathe uh i'm sorry breathe into his nostrils the breath of life and man became a living being so it seems to say we've got maybe possibly two different creation accounts what is this then the lord god made man well wait a second but in 127 you said this is this contradictory is this a different creation account are these different people god created man in his own image in the image of god he created him male and female he created them so what we have here is we have summarizations so god is stating the same thing different ways in verse 27 chapter one as well as chapter two verse seven and here's the the passage that i want you to notice uh verse four now by the way matter of fact let's start in chapter two verse one he says thus the heavens and the earth were completed and all their host this after he's created everything after all the days and then verse two by the seventh day god completed his work which he had done and he rested on the seventh day from his from all his work which he had done then god blessed the seventh day and sanctified it so that's all of that right that that's all the first seven days then look what it says in verse four this is the account of the heavens and the earth when they were created in the day that the lord god made earth and heaven now no shrub and so now what's he doing he's giving a recount of what was stated but he's giving more detail so it's the same account we've just added detail amen guys i can't tell you how many people told me that they wanted to come on today um so much so i said you know what let me come on early and and and now the phone's not ringing which is fine which is fine we can do this do i use a dslr camera um i think this is a dsl it's a sony a series so i don't know i have no idea i should know that shouldn't but i don't know can you explain to me uh the second half of mark 16 and how we got that account we're not sure how we got that account the truth is the longer ending of mark if i say the longer ending of mark the question is going to be which longer ending of mark because the traditional one that we notice which is that ends in verse 20 there are other versions there are other endings one that's longer that goes past first 20 there's one that is shorter than uh in between eight and i think it's 16 or 17 i can't remember the number now two of those we think is kind of kind of iffy it's the longer one the the one that goes from nine to 20 is the one that gets the most credence the one that's most accepted most scholars most textual criticism most textual critics will believe and state that it likely ended at verse with a short ending versus nine through 20 you're probably at one it's a it's a different it's a different let's put on the screen let's just do that because i want you to see kind of okay notice how verse eight ends they went out and fled the tune for for trembling and astonishment had gripped them and they said nothing to to anyone for they were afraid now after he had risen well wait a second that's a pretty good leak you go from this to that it is it's a it's a bit clunky it's a bit clunky and when you read it there are some words uh that aren't necessary that aren't you don't find earlier in mark but i don't i don't think that's an issue i i'm not one of those guys away wait a second he used a different word here that he didn't use anywhere else i don't think that's a big issue i don't think that that it's it's something to note is something to be aware of but i don't think it's really worth because you can do that i can have a conversation with you and then at the end of the conversation or the middle of the conversation or at the beginning i can use a word or a phrase that i don't use again or i've never used that can happen what we have how we have the bible ladies and gentlemen there's a lot of different ways that we get it and a lot of different ways we can validate how we have the bible because even if you take one manuscript away or we take away half the manuscripts that we have we can still put the bible together if you take away all of the manuscripts that we have we can still put the bible together remember we don't have printing presses at that time and so we've got people that were right down you might have a scribe who would do it on his own you might have what's called these cryptoriums where they would sit and someone would would read out loud and they would hear and they would write it down but the problem is when you have a passage like an ax where it says and we have fellowship or we may have fellowship it's not that big of a difference but it's the word ecumen now when the person is saying that out loud is it ecumen ecumen with the amicron or ecumen with omega if it's the omega it's a subjunctive which means that we may have versus ecumen which is we do have ultimately that particular passage it doesn't have a real big change in the meaning whether it's the whether it's the amicron or the omega but you've got these people that are writing these scriptures down the reason why is because we need to get more of these copies out people want to hear the written word of god and we don't have it well as these people are writing this down none of these people that are writing these down are apostles and they are not god inspired i know that might be a shock to some people but the people that copied the copyist they were not god inspired many of them were were jews who did not like christ many of these were just they may have been atheists and may have been pagans but that was just their their field they were they knew how to write and so they would be employed in that many these were just religious nuts results you never know some of them were probably honest have no way of knowing we don't know who it was so charlie described as he's writing he might have a slip of the pen you're writing something and writing something and then what ends up happening is someone makes a mistake and so what do you do with that so you we might even come we have occasions where we found manuscripts or copies that were that had clear errors and do we know their error well somebody might might know it's an error but let's say if you are i always use this example you are writing a paper in the paper you it's a rough draft you throw it away but someone finds it a thousand years later like wow this is wonderful oh this actually says this here but it's a rough draft that there was a mistake on or i was making a copy of me mistake on no one knows how or that i made a mistake or that i intended to throw away so when you when you have a a mess up so to speak uh in the in the uh the copying stage you do a couple things with you can burn it and we found manuscripts that were burned we don't know if they were burned because there were errors with them and that's why they were burned or if they were burned by um other people who were against christianity there's a lot of different reasons why but that that burn copy might have been burning we don't know we can't go back and find out why hey why was this burned was it burned because it was a mistake we find some that were buried because they were meant to be buried this they they thought of it as trash but we find it not knowing it was trash or maybe it was maybe it wasn't trash we find somewhere they said you know what we can take this because of so much was written let's give it to the schools for people who are learning to read they can use it and then we find that not knowing that it's uh only meant for learning the language reading and so forth but we say hey here's a manuscript so what do we do with that we don't know so what we do is we take all of the manuscripts and just kind of compare them together and then we can put the bible together we have lectionaries where someone's own personal copies they might take a word and the word as they're doing these studies and preaching verbally out and they left out at a certain spot they come back the next week and it's and it starts off with he well who's the he so the person might write in the lord or the person's name are you with me which is why you might see some differences in some of the in some of the copies and so when it comes to mark 16 there are those that believe that it was likely a scribe that just added that and it was and and because it was added after the fact you have things such as paul who was bit by a snake so now let's add it in there and if and if uh where did it what verses that i think is it 17 uh where it says in verse 17 um and if i'm sorry verse 18 will pick up serpents and if they drinking delin poison so they're speaking of some of the things that the apostles did and so one of two things that you take with this particular passage either it was intended to be there originally and if it was i still think it's talking about the apostles because they're the ones that fulfill these things or two this is a later addition and it's definitely talking about the apostles so anyway let's go to some more questions what is a good explanation for someone who asks why don't the synoptic the synoptic gospels mention the raising of Lazarus because they didn't get together and say hey let's cover this they didn't cover all of it they they none of the gospels cover all of the same thing not even the snot the synoptics they don't all cover the same thing now they are synonymous which will be the term synoptic but they don't all cover the same thing which is a good thing and they they are writing for the benefit of different audiences like lucas writing primarily to theophilus okay uh john has who he's writing to obviously matthew has a uh a serious jewish bent and so you see more of that in his writing luke uh his is more it's not a it's not a a gentile bent but it's gentile more gentile than uh than matthew certainly and so they're writing to different people they're not they didn't all sit down hey let's all write let's all four of us write four letters of the exact same group of people that's not what was happening there was no need to do so so that's the reason why how you explain that they just weren't right to the same people and so if you and i were in a room and we saw let's say a cup and i saw this side that had uh number one dad on it and you saw saw the other side uh it was just all yellow well that didn't help it we're talking about the same cup but we're talking about the cup from different advantages and so we'll describe the same thing similarly but in different fashions all right i hope that helped how can a person get back on track with god after a season of sin struggles everybody uh needs to hear this because everyone goes with this everybody goes through this uh now how long are the seasons they vary somebody season might be a few days somebody season might be a few weeks somebody season like man it's just gotta say it's been months um and typically we'll call that we'll call that backslit a back slit in state but that's not actually correct because there's no such thing as backslider or the word backslide being used in the new testament it's only used in the old testament a few times and it's only regarding israel however i do understand what they mean so someone says that i'm not going to jump down the throne on it but that being the case uh someone who is going through a particularly rough season you do what we always say our issue is always the same proximity and i know people want to hear something diff different or profound or amazing but let me just give it to you simple just like elisha told neyman go dip and he didn't want to and you want me to go dip that's stupid that's simple that's basic and then it's a dirty river the far far and other rivers are far better and cleaner than this one and one of his servants said if he'd ask to do something something more difficult if he came out and waved his hand he would have said okay amen but he gave you something that simple to do something this simple which we sometime neglected because it's just that's too simple just get closer to him read and read and read and study and study and when i say read i mean read for your own enjoyment and edification and then study for your own um learning and edification and then also fellowship and with other people praise god but also don't neglect prayer oh by the way how about fasting do you know what fasting is for not just you i'm not talking about just you chat with but you and everyone else fasting is for a closeness to god jesus there jesus has asked a question how come everyone else's disciple is fast but yours don't he said because basically i'm here when i'm gone they will fast why because i won't be here so we fast to make our voices as i said heard on high for closeness for proximity sake and so that's what you do amen all right uh daticus maximus says how do you feel about child preacher teachers these that there are these kids that are basically just experiments people are experimenting with these little kids these little babies and putting them up there making these little children five 10 15 or 20 because a 20 year old has no need no business being up there as well let me just say that now someone get mad at me 20 year old in the pulpit nope no i wish i would see that i'm not i won't hear it i'm gone bye um no stop doing these kids they have to grow there needs to be some wisdom oh by the way in in the new testament you didn't see people doing anything even though test was well you didn't see these leaders being in leadership until 30 you you couldn't be a priest until 30 jesus starts his ministry at 30 why because he didn't want to offend the other Jews who might be looking at that as well now he was always god he's always been who he is but i think it's ridiculous i it's not even cute anymore before when i was unsaved i thought that was cute when i first got to say oh that's cute now now nope and you started hearing some of these political preachers now who said i started off preaching when i was 13 what was it uh what's the guy with the slick hair the 20 brawley guy oh lord al sharpened started preaching when he was what 13 i don't know what you was preaching now but it wasn't a gospel it wasn't a gospel so i am not a fan of it i am not a big fan of that at all at all how much do you think you have to do for god to remove the holy spirit nothing there's nothing you can do to have him remove the holy spirit remember what the bible says he says first of all he's the one that puts the holy spirit in you and he knows the end from the beginning he's not putting in in there and it's a wasted effort number one but number two how we know this because he says that he will put his spirit in us and cause us to walk in his teachings perfectly no but the spirit is never going to depart from us and we know that by Ephesians because we have been given it as a down payment it i'm sorry we've been given the holy spirit as a down payment and we've been sealed with him until the day of redemption so we cannot if you are truly a believer if you have the spirit you have life and you cannot lose that now is that to say are you trying to tell me cori you mean that you can go and do whatever you want to do and still be safe i'm not saying that i'm saying you're not going to do whatever you want to do if indeed you are safe and so i think folks hear that and think that wait a second i think they're they're giving a license to sin no no no you are not going to go and live how you want to and not bother you no now am i this works based salvation no and if the the super the super super super free grace people want to have a problem with that i don't care i don't care if you're ultra free grace and sin doesn't bother you i submit to you you ain't safe now put some more horns in my head and make another video i could care less but you are known by your fruit it's not that you have to be have the best fruit man this person has the greatest fruit ever and look at mine no we're not comparing fruit but doggone and i don't know it no one else knows if only you know it if sin doesn't bother you and sin bothers the holy spirit we got a problem if you don't like speaking about Jesus and the spirit does we have a problem and so that's a huge issue for me so the bible the bible is clear you are not going to you are not going to lose the holy spirit amen i'm gonna take a few more questions and i've got a i've got a guess here and then let me take a few more questions before i go to him um can your gatherings be considered be considered church i've long learned so much from your ministry that i have in church well don't go on a certain passion i'm i was gonna say something silly okay we are all part of the body this is this is i guess in in in in in essence this is a gathering but it's not really the gathering that he was talking about there needs to be a fellowship so we can lay eyes on you we can lay hands on you we can hug you because what we can't do i don't care if it's a hundred people in the chats 200 500 000 we can't hug you we can't love on you we can't when someone says can you pray for me it's good that we pray for you you know typing but it's better how much better someone puts their arm around you just touch and just prays for you right in there and and what i mean by that really is not so much praying for you but praying with you not so much rejoicing for you but rejoicing with you that's why we need that and that it helps us to stir up others other people uh in their gifting where'd you go hold on he went away okay maybe have a bad connection go ahead and come back in brother uh there's the method of baptism by by the way the other day some people had had given some super chats and i was moving so fast i didn't get sent to say thank you you guys thank you for those that i've done so i appreciate that i'm sorry but uh does the method of baptism by water matter i grew up in ame xion church uh they allow three different types sprinkle pouring or dunking i'm worried that i wasn't properly baptized sorry if it's it's not a stupid question it's not a stupid question all now the word baptized baptism means to immerse to dip so you are covered up and what it's signifying is us being dipped into the holy spirit the identifying mark of a believer is not water baptism and how wet you got the identifying mark of a believer is the holy spirit and so if you are dipped in water or whatever you're dipped in you come back up with the qualities of what you were baptized in the same with the holy spirit now he's going to grow more in you and on you as you grow but the method isn't so much the point although that being the case you should be fully immersed but let's say you weren't fully immersed let's say you were um partially immersed or what have you that's not what saved you however if you um if you want to do it again so then around again baptize a second time or third time there's the bible didn't preclude it amen and we doing so we're we're just simply letting the world know that hey i'm i belong to him and so you do it again you're letting more people know and so it's a celebratory occasion but don't let that be your issue let other things be your issues but not whether you are baptized correctly as long as when you were baptized you were saved but if you want to do it again by all means by all means get get baptized again man this is a good question that was not a silly question okay uh uh uh um all right let me see okay i got your brother give me one second i will come to you okay let me take one more question before i go to the um bring a guest on and then i'll get back to some other questions are edomites unable to be saved since god has uh he hates edomites he hates esau no because there's some edomites that are saved in the bible uh anyone who places their faith in christ can be saved anyone i wouldn't care if you come from a family that is as pagan and as atheistic and as antichrist as whatever you're not say you're not precluded from salvation because of your nationality nor are you going to be saved because you're nationality wait a minute quarry didn't you say that israel's going to be saved yeah i didn't say all of israel's going to be saved and just because you are jewish that mean you're going to be saved because i don't know when he's going to do the saving if he's going to wait for 200 more years to go ahead and change the hearts of israel that leaves you out of the dead end so it behooves you whatever you are to place your faith in christ irrespective of your nationality amen amen let's fucking if i do this correctly let me push this and let me hit this because i did that wrong okay wait a second guys let me fix this let me add you know what i'm doing this in where is it where is it where is it guess one should be guess one ah forget it let's do it this way let's do it this way i was trying to do it a different way all right all right we have north memphis 48 how you doing brother can you hear me sure yeah i can hear you okay i'm doing well i'm doing well let me keep talking to me let me pull your vibe up a little bit more uh what can i do for you my friend yeah i i had seen you the first question but i don't think you had you understood it that's why i was calling in i was asking you a question of about uh first peter 418 okay it was it was well i didn't text it all the way out i can see it now when you responded to it okay first of all first of all first of all hold on hold on i got to message you a little bit you in north memphis yes did i hear a police car behind you did i hear please i heard a police siren in the background uh that was amulets okay i know about memphis ain't nothing what ain't nothing what people think it's all a 10 percent of what they what you're here people that listen when my last my last uh my last place that i did a bit it was in forest city arkansas and so we would go back and forth to memphis i feel it's not that it's not that far from memphis to forest city um so i'm just i'm just messing with you brother i just i just saw the members i had i got a couple buddies uh that actually live in north memphis north memphis actually the good part isn't it uh no you'd be you'd be like no north memphis debate huh it depends on what part you in okay okay i'm sorry let's get back on topic i'm sorry okay but yeah uh it was it was it was it was pretending to uh one save i always say so i was talking about first peter four and eight oh four and eight yeah four and eight or four and eighteen four and eighteen and nineteen yeah okay so the righteous girls would be saved we should have sent an ungodly and so my question is because you see a division in that scripture when they say uh scarcely be saved that mean you have some people that that that left the faith because they they put it they put it down on their own accord now i'm aware what what what you believe in and what everybody else believe in that that believe in uh internal security but the inscriptions you know i said i feel like people are not are not uh taking i don't hear them addressing it when they when they teach uh internal security they don't they don't go to the scripture and say well this is why uh jesus said this righteous scarcely be saved okay i know what the word scarcely that's a math word it means you something has been subtracted and when you like if you if if he is like like uh like i see you had video you was you addressed someone when you talk about jews is scary but to me i i feel like jews was saying how can you cast out demons if he wasn't saying and he said father all these of his sheep fold have none how about lost except the son of perdition so he jesus right i'm telling you that jews was part of the fold and he lost them okay two things to do you see i'll i'll let you continue two things uh if we go to first i mean first peter 418 he says uh and if it is with difficulty in this word malice which is can be scarcely or hardly uh difficultly same word they're all the same if if with um uh difficulty or scarcity or scarcely they were what what did what did he say they were he says they were say he just speaks about how difficultly they were saved with great difficulties because it says and how it reads is um kai e high that that chaos which is the right so he calls them righteous so he says these righteous folks um malice and this word so zaytai which is they were saved so that's the point the point is not how they were saved i mean he's written fact that they were saved it was it it was the difficulty of them being saved scarcely saved um hardly saved bit difficulty saved barely saved however you want to say it but the point is they were saved and so he says if if if the people that were saved it was with difficulty that they were saved the person that's not saved what will be their account what will happen to them he's not saying they weren't saved or that there were some that were saved it didn't make it though he's saying that they that he's just simply stating that those that were saved how they were saved and then to the point about about uh judas being lost here's what we know whether we're speaking about the bible or anything else a contradiction is to say this and then have a contradictory statement that goes in the opposing direction we have a literal contradiction if jesus himself said that i will lose none but then loses one so how do you how do you account for that if you if you say that that judas is one that was given to be saved jesus says i won't lose not one but then he loses one as a matter of fact one of the statements he makes he makes it in front of judas how then can he make that statement and not be contradictory will you say will you say that what scripts are you reading from and is he talking about his disciples or was he talking about the church jesus is talking about his well let's go to it uh john let's go we can go to john six uh let's start in verse 37 there's a few of him six thirty seven he says all of the father gives to me will come and the one who comes to me i will certainly not cast out for i have come down from him to do my not my own will but the will of him who sent me he says this is the will of him who sent me that all that he has given me i will lose none now that all means whether he's speaking of just the disciples which he's speaking of everyone more than disciples he's either speaking of everybody or just the disciples either way that would include possibly judas and certainly peter and james and bartholomew then if we go to uh john 17 uh i believe it's 12 here's where he's clearly speaking about the disciples is while while i was with them i was keeping them in your name which you have given which you have given me i guarded them and not one of them perished but the son of perdition and people think that but the son of perdition well i kept them all except one but that's a direct contradiction to what he said that i would lose none if he did in fact mean that he was supposed to be one so that the scriptures would be fulfilled so what were the scriptures that would be fulfilled that there was going to be this one that was numbered among them one that would betray him he was chosen for that because when we say he was chosen he yeah i chose you all and one of you i chose is a devil so he knew exactly who he was choosing and what they were being chose for because remember this is god he knows what's in their heart so he clearly didn't choose him for salvation he clearly didn't think he was chosen for salvation he knew exactly what he was and in john 1310 he says that i have cleansed all of you except one of you all of your cleansed have been cleansed and it's the perfect tense so in the past all of you have been cleansed except for one speaking of judas and then even judas he says one of you guys are going to betray me this even before judas even thought about it he says one of you guys are going to betray me and judas says is it me is it me yep yep so uh judas is not someone that he lost because he never had him he chose him for something he was chosen to fulfill the prophecy that one that would be numbered amongst him will betray him and sold for 30 pieces of silver that's not what jesus said jesus said father all you gave me none have i lost except the son of perdition but wait a second i just read but i just read he worried jesus also said that i will lose none so how can jesus say i will lose none but then lose one you you said you said how how can jesus say i was in that scripture it's it's it's it gotta it gotta be uh talk talk he gotta be talking about something in in a different light how so what what you got to explain it then you got to explain it i have to take time and read and read that scripture like like for myself come on the phone so i ain't i really got it i ain't got my Bible with me but hey i i agree with you i don't think scriptures fight against each other and i don't think no one scripture don't cut your dick your scripture it's just a person understanding that's why the bab said don't lean on to your understanding okay which you're right hey listen you right if you got an idea that mean if you got an idea recognize that you can be wrong so that where you don't lean on you understand so you won't you won't die in in the wrong way and i agree and see i was i was where you were i used to believe you can lose your salvation but there's some passages that again they're just they are just pretty bedrock they're pretty solid it's all through the Bible it's like jesus said what what does it mean to grieve the Holy Spirit i don't know a believer can do that he said it's like a dog that returned to his own vomit no it's a dog it's a dog he's talking about a christian who returned to the lifestyle no he didn't call him hold on hold on hold on hold on hold on he says he's called the dog not knowing what righteousness did turn back from from the commandment hold on brother he called him a dog but now can a person be a christian without the Holy Spirit can a person be a no okay so we okay so let's walk this back let's let's let's walk this you have to have the Holy Spirit to be a christian so we agree on that right god is the one who gives you the Holy Spirit right right now if god i'm not saying he does or he doesn't i'm just asking a question for you right now if god says that if a person has my spirit in them if god says that person if god says that person i will never turn away from and god will never turn away from that person so that person never turned away from me and i will never turn away from him what do we make of that then that means that that person will never stop being a christian right i agree with the first portion that you said god never turns away from you it's all on you because he don't hold on hold on hold on hold on hold on brother hold on my question was it my question was this though if god said not me or you or anyone else if god said that you if you have the Holy Spirit if god makes a statement i'm not saying he does or doesn't we'll deal with that in a second but i'm asking but my question is if god said if a person has the Holy Spirit in them that he will not turn away doesn't that mean he won't turn away if that's what god said yes now the question is did god say that yes he did in Jeremiah 32 39 and 40 same thing so well so if god says when i put my spirit in them that i will never turn away from them and they will never turn away from me we can't come back and say yeah they will he said god said they will never turn away the very same guy who knows the end he says they will never turn away how then do you come back and say they could turn away i i never i never read a scripture where you said they will never turn away i'll put on the screen for you Jeremiah 32 there Jeremiah 32 39 and 40 he says and i will give them one heart and one way can you can you see that should i make it a little bit bigger yes okay chapter 32 verse 39 he says and i will give them one heart and one way that they may fear me always for their own good and for the good of their children after them but notice what he says i will make an everlasting covenant with them that i will not turn away from them to do them good and i will put the fear of me in their hearts so that look what it says they will not turn away from me and similarly also in Ezekiel 36 25 26 27 he speaks about him putting the spirit in us or in people and causing them to walk in his teachings jesus reiterates that in john three speaking about person being born again born of the spirit peter says god cost us to be born again and we know it's not just the jews because john one says that all of those whoever the hustle is whoever it is that happens to be born of god they weren't born of their own will or the flesh or their own desires but they were born of the will of god and so god has made it clear he will put his spirit in us and we just will not turn away and in john 10 5 he says that those who are a sheep he says they will never ever turn and follow a different voice they he says they will simply run away they will turn away and run away from him so he makes it clear i said i really will have to read all that and i'm a firm believer one verse don't make no doctrine you can't get one understanding the bible reiterates itself all the way through there so if you got a wrong understanding if you got an open and you humble heart the bible gonna correct that's what i was told that that's what i was told now if you notice the bible gonna correct you you have to write it's gonna reiterate yourself and and then because that's just one passage of scripture i will have to find this teaching all the way through wait a second wait a second hold i just gave you i gave you Jeremiah 32 i gave you Ezekiel 36 John 3 uh John 1 12 uh John 10 go from verses 3 to 28 uh John 6 37 uh 39 John 6 44 i'm sorry 47 uh Ephesians 1 verses 3 4 5 all the way down in 13 so i'm not giving you just one passage i'm giving you several passages and the point is the reason why and i'm i'm i'm have to let you go uh after this but let me ask you this question if i if i say the reason why people go to hell is because they owe a debt a sin debt to god would you agree with that they owe us yes okay if the debt is paid do you still owe a debt no now the only way that god will send you away from him is if you owe a debt right yes but i but i would i would my retort to that is salvation come with conditions name the condition holiness where's it say like find me the passage that says that if you uh holiness is required for salvation holiness are you are you are you kidding me no i'm man i'm serious be holy for i am holy name the passage it says it said without holiness no man should see the lord and without faith i've been right there okay so hold on give me the passage give me the pass on my phone i can't look it up okay i'm gonna try to look at what i'm for it said without holiness no man should see the lord that's a requirement he said be holy be is a command that's not no that's not no that's not no uh that's not no suggestion that's a command be holy like your mom said go to school and give me straight a all right there was no suggestion he rose 12 for let's go to he rose 12 for you guys already yep i can't type with my left hand no i'm sorry that's not it that's not it wait a second hold on am i on the right it's it's i get it i'm trying to pull it up let me let me type it in the right here and you know i talk to a lot of people that that they believe uh you know i'm saying that uh what uh cabinet is a one as well they want to call it and then they they only respond to me they they'll tell them this will work and i'm like how is that i ain't talking about the work-based salvation i ain't i'm not that slow how could you say uh living holy is a work-based salvation okay so here it is here it is that's what the pass on the screen he rose 12 14 pursue peace with all men and the sanctification without which no one will see the lord so the sanctification that's being sanctified who sanctifies who us or him so i agree i agree how does a person become sanctified how does it come holy sanctified meaning set apart how does a person become sanctified is there ever a passage where it says that we do it to ourselves no it's done to us he does so matter of fact matter of fact we are told we are told that those that have been sanctified in the past are being perfected so the point is we are saved by faith our faith our faith if it's true faith produces a sanctifying work in us that's spirit working in us and so that is going to happen being sanctified and set apart is not it's not it's not the same as uh what i'm saying about being holy i say being holy means meaning uh what what god requires you don't steal don't kill well no wait a second wait a second wait a second wait a second being hold the word holy and sanctify it's the same word the same the same word i put on the screen if y'all can see this this word for sanctification uh it's the same greek word high gasmos or high gas which is to be holy it's the same word so sanctified set apart holy same word and it's a work that the lord does in us is there not a requirement for the brother christ he works that in us that's that's my point so your faith is in the faith that you have uh he works this in you he's the one that's working in in you so but listen um if you want to if you want we won't do this next week but probably the week after that if you if you want to come back and do this uh no problem but i would suggest i would say go back and look at the passage that that i'm not covering just just one just one word i mean one passage i'm covering several passages and so i think it's clear when that's what paul says in flippings one six i'm confident that the person that's god who began a good work in you he paul is confident that god will complete it so or perfect it so i am too i'm confident i'm confident more in the power of the spirit than i am in us and i believe he will do just what he said he'll do amen that's true all right my brother i appreciate the conversation i gotta let you go so i can get to more of these conversations but uh we're gonna bring this back up again next time okay all right take care brother all right guys let's go back to some of these other questions uh let's see why i asked that one already here's an interesting question what happens to people who listen to false prophets regularly well you're gonna get false prophecies bad teaching uh my friend listens to one regularly i've warned she doesn't believe me and if adamant the false prophet is hearing from the lord so all you can do is all you can do you can warn now the bible tells you how long should you keep warning he says with great endurance with great patience so just keep warning there's nothing you can do about it because it's not up to you you can just be a godly witness but sometimes you gotta be wise sometimes you gotta know when when the push when the pull but i would ask them is there ever a time in the bible where god's prophet not a false prophet but god's prophet mishears from god just ask them that uh if uh uh if a person is calling themselves a prophet and they mishear from god do we have an example of that in the bible so what would you call a person who mishears from god who says they heard from god and wasn't god they would have to say the false prophet if they don't say that's not a false prophet well then i ask them what is the false prophet it's literally in the word right false prophet you prophesy something false so if they do so then okay fine so make sure you remember that and replay that to them when it happens because if it's a true false prophet they will give the false prophecy sooner or later they will say something and do something ignorant and foolish that goes against the bible and then bring that to them and said listen the issue is going to be to you are you going to play favorites because you like this person who do you love or like more the lord or this person and whoever you say may the lord judge you may the lord judge you according to your words who do you love more god in his word or this person and i'm not saying you gotta abandon this person but if this person gets it wrong and they're saying that it's god that's a reason to leave that person so that's kind of how i would do it but but you know use your best judgment you know how to handle that person better than i would obviously so by the way mike taylor thank you for the super chat uh mona thank you for the super sticker as well josh thank you as well uh let's see what does the word repent in mark 115 in greek mean so let's go to mark 115 and make sure it's the same word mark 115 and the word the shoes there uh why is that why is that not leaving that should automatically leave when i go to the next ring why is it not doing that i don't know anyway the greek word the shoes here is the greek word uh metanoete which is from the greek word metanoe which is meta and news the news part is mine it's a changing of your mind is what we see every time we see the word typically every time we see the word repent the word repent is not demonstrated by the same word hebrew or greek throughout the bible so so i just want to make sure because sometimes we might translate something in english but it might be a different greek or hebrew word uh but in this case uh which is in most often the case especially in the testament you don't see this metanoid to repent to turn it's not you turning from your sin because you'll be turning forever it's the condition of your mind that's turned away from your mind it's turned away from that i don't like that yeah i do it and i feel yucky when i do it i've turned away from that sin it bothers me it grieves me amen now if you truly have turned away from that if your mind is different then what should you expect to happen after that turning away you should expect to see a change in your lifestyles it's one thing to say and we're gonna see it happen in a few weeks people are going to change their minds people are going to claim that they have had a metanoid a i'm not this bad english bad greek but people are going to claim that they have changed their mind on january 1st i have changed my mind about the food i'm going to eat changed my mind about my workout changed my mind about my finances and then what happens here comes december 5th what happened well well we found out that you didn't really change your mind about it you change your mind is going to ultimately some sort of way be be found out in your actions your actions listen i don't know who you are i don't know what you feel like but if you if your hands move independently of you if your feet move about independently if your mouth just starts moving because uh let me just say this you're crazy if your if your body just starts doing stuff you go to talking i don't know what i'm talking why i'm talking if it does that we got a problem if your hands just start grabbing stuff and pushing it we get we have a problem know what happens with your hands with your feet with your legs with your arms with your mouth with your eyes comes as a result of your mind and i did like this your mind the reason why i said your mind is because the word the the greek word and the Hebrew word for heart lev or uh cardia we think of the actual heart the organ and they can refer to that but but it means the inward person uh so the heart refers to refers to your mind your heart who you are and what comes what's in there comes out if that has been changed first Corinthians uh i'm sorry second Corinthians five seventeen is five seventeen uh if any man being Christ's new creature all things pass away if he's a if he's a new creation inwardly then you'll start seeing some changes now maybe i won't see them as much as you will because you know you've changed people like you the same same old same old you might say no you don't you don't know you don't know and maybe they don't but you should see it there will be something that comes out because of something that's on the inside if something if ain't nothing if ain't nothing changed on the inside then won't nothing change on the outside you might say so for a few days but then give it some time we'll we'll see it you will bear fruit amen okay let's go back to some of these awesome questions what question was that i just i just clicked on this question Genesis one sherry says uh what does it mean that the Holy Spirit was hovering over the face of the waters why how does this contribute to the role of the Holy Spirit playing the creation we don't know how it contributes we just know that he was there and so all we know is that the Holy Spirit by the way i would i would recommend this because we actually cover this um in the bible that as we go through it and what we did what we did was we went through Genesis one Genesis two Genesis three and i don't know if you guys remember you guys tell me if you remember this in the chats as we're going through the bible studies the only time we saw the spirit of the Lord was initially in Genesis one and we're going and we're not seeing it we're not we don't even hear the term Holy Spirit for a good long while but we see his spirit showing up and we end up recognizing who it is and so just because we're seeing we see God we see the we us our in 126 and we see the spirit that we also we know that all three persons of the Godhead are present and we know present because at the sin the Lord God is walking and they hear him and they hide from him and so it doesn't really give a whole a lot of detail about what his role is as a matter of fact we're not told um as exhaustively as we could be told about the entire role of God the guy the father or the entire role of God the son we're not told certainly the entire role of the spirit because here's a question and and there's no way you can answer this there's no way you can know because there's no scripture tells us if I say what will the Holy Spirit be doing um what's the role of the Holy Spirit for us in eternity we we don't know because the Bible didn't say we just know he's present and we also see that he's active he's just hovering there now what is he doing don't know I imagine he's not just hanging out though so all right more questions um um terry says there are some Christians that believe after you die you still have an opportunity to get right those are what you would call wrong Christians or Catholics um with God doesn't this believe nullify what jesus did on the cross yes paul says it's a point unto me wants to die and then the judgment once you die that's that now where this comes about guys where this comes from is there were people under the oh and before the cross if you died you did not go immediately to be with the father if you were in right standing if you were in right standing you waited in the abode of the debt for the of the debt uh that's waited that's waiting to go be with the lord jesus makes a statement in john three that no one has ascended to the father uh no one has ascended to heaven except him who has descended in other words jesus the only one that's on this earth that has been in heaven meaning enok hadn't gone elisha was not was not taken there he was taken to the sky enok walked with god and he was no more but so too didn't know what no walk with god so that's why after jesus's death there a resurrection and ascension you don't see any more dead saints coming up you don't see elisha anymore you don't see moses anymore you don't see like you saw in the old testament you don't see samu being brought up why because they're gone on to be with with the lord and glory they're not coming back those on the dead though who are truly dead they ain't coming back so they kind of piece mill it together and think they wait a second you they're they're still an opportunity no it's not because they're they're righteous state or unrighteous state can't be changed either so all right uh let's go and get a few more questions let me let me slide this around and and find some more questions you know i want while i'm thinking about this i would love man if i can get a woman pastor if i can get a prophet if i can get an apostle just to come come talk to me i just want one so bad do children have the holy spirit only if they're safe and and what age can a child be saved as early as possible it would behoove you to preach the gospel to them as quickly as possible to trust in him as quickly as possible i don't i think they can i listen to you you see what kids can learn and what they can know i think they can trust at a very early age i think they can by the way because someone asked this question someone asked the question and i was going to address it i might address it later in the video who knows but about children who uh they're fairly young is it okay if a child believes in jesus and also believes that there is a Santa Claus and my response would be is it okay for a child to believe in jesus and also think that there is a tooth fairy uh is it okay for a child to believe in jesus and think the smurfs are real if the child thinking that the smurfs are real does that does that nullify that child's salvation does does thinking that frosty the snowman is real does that nullify if your child is five years old believes there's a jesus but also has an imaginary friend they have vivid imaginations by the way my my youngest granddaughter her heart was broken the other day her heart was broken the other day i wasn't going to be the one that's going going to break it though she said um she she's writing her little list what she wants for christmas she's going through all these little catalogs and of course she wants everything that's ever been made for girls in the history of the world and she's doing a project for school and she has to look up take these words and give what these words mean to you and the definitions and these are christmas words one of the words that she's looking at is santa this little girl believes in santa she also believes in jesus she believes in santa what happens when she goes to the internet to look up santa yeah i wasn't good ladies and gentlemen it was not good for her on that day i don't they gotta fix this they gotta fix this you type in santa it says imaginary character he's not real this little girl comes in and she's devastated she's devastated and so i looked at her i said sweetheart the internet is not always real the internet is not always right and let it let it that i left it at that by the way can you tell you my my uh my santa claus story my santa claus story how i realized that santa claus was not real i used to think that santa claus was jesus's son little kid i'm rationalize this thing right i can think i got a brain i'm using it i'm using my brain to figure out that jesus has a son if if jesus is god's son Well, then who is Jesus's son must be Santa Claus must be Santa Claus That was my rationalization. You couldn't tell me I was wrong. My mother looked at me like, okay All right, baby Now I'll tell you how how I found out that Santa Claus wasn't real Not because my brother the jerk that he was at that time kept trying to tell me Santa Claus wasn't real No, no, no, no And I believed he was real I Believe this white man was coming to my house with his reindeer Don't know how I was gonna do it, but he was gonna do it And if you say something bad about him, you got a fire on your hands. I did something to my father I don't even remember what it was, but I got in trouble and daddy said you're not getting Christmas Yeah, whatever whatever lovely says Santa Claus is a black man. Do you know that song? That's a song y'all it's a Motown song Santa Claus is a black man, and I found out that's why I'm telling you Anyways, but a little girl was a boy or girl who found out that her daddy was being Santa Claus at the Afro And it was out of sight back in the 70s. Anyway, so I got in trouble. My father said you're not getting Christmas Don't care what you say Santa Claus is bringing me something. Who are you? Woke up Christmas morning my daddy was a man of his word No Christmas was there Thankfully mama was there mama cussed this man out She cussed this man up. You better get the whole bunch of cussing so about 30 minutes later 30 40 minutes later the toy show showed up and I realized That wasn't Santa that was my daddy. So anyway, that's how I found out and I never crossed my daddy intentionally again So My so my Santa Claus Smoked cigarettes had a little small fro and a gun in his pocket Daddy, so yeah, my Santa Claus was packing All right, let me uh, let's see Can Christians and Muslims live in the same household? Sure, they live in the same household just like Christians and atheists can or true Christians and fake Christians Yes, they can now might be difficult And I pray that the Christian has the more strength is the more Convincing but yeah, a Christian can it's not ideal and you don't want to go and intentionally marry one and be with one but They can they can it's just it's going to be difficult Is God the father invisible we don't know how he looks and I imagine once in heaven we will see him however He's an he's invisible to the extent that he wants to be invisible if he wants to reveal himself physically Then he can do so So the Bible doesn't say how he looks if he looks doesn't say but I would imagine that in in heaven. We'll see him so Alrighty take some more questions Michael Jackson did see his mama kissing Santa Claus Do you all have a memorable Christmas When we died do we go to Abraham's bosom that the question the reason for that question is Particles of what I was just talking about Abraham's bosom would be the abode of the dead or paradise. It's no longer where it used to be Jesus led captive a host of captives on high and so Now when we die we immediately go to be what was called Abraham's bosom or paradise Which is now in heaven which is now in the presence of the father immediately once we die As again as I said before it's been appointed once to die in the magenta forest believers We passed from death and then going to light and so soon as we die we get to go see him What's the point of teaching kids about Santa Claus? That's lying to them. You could take it that way I Don't go around. I don't make it a habit to let me give you an example I've got a three-year-old grandson. He'll be four in just a little bit His name is three we call him three not because he's three years old We call him three because his name is Anthony his father's name is Anthony's grandfather's name is Anthony So we call him three Three loves Paw Patrol He loves Paw Patrol. Let me ask you a question Pascal And I want to hear I want to hear your thoughts on it and not to bloody your question Three asks, I mean three believes in Paw Patrol Pascal I'm not sure how old you are. I don't know if you're old enough for now I don't know, you know, you tell me if you're older if you but if you've got children or grandchildren Let's say Your child or grandchild likes Paw Patrol Would you tell them not real? Would you would you go and tell your your your four-year-old grandchild? Yeah, Paw Patrol though though there they aren't real Would you would you would you tell them the the? Tooth fairy is not real Would you tell them now? I'm not saying that you ought to you know, this is what this is what we did with our kids We'd we didn't tell our kids that Santa Claus was real But we did tell them that it's Jesus who say our kids know about Jesus the grandkids know about Jesus That's we push on them Because a kid can't these kids it's gonna be hard for them To distinguish what they see on on TV these cartoons as true or not, but we can give them Jesus So we give them Jesus we give them Jesus and and let them believe if they believe that Paw Patrol or the smurfs or whoever is real Fine, that's okay. That that does not diminish Jesus at all We tell them where salvation comes from we tell them where gifts come from they know they know they know that They're giving they're asking us for gifts and If they want to believe that somebody can come because here's the question and I want you to think about this question If and somebody can be upset with me, but you're upset with the wrong thing if your child believes in Jesus Does believing that there's a Santa Claus or believing that there is a smurf or believing that there are super friends believing that Spider-Man is real Does that nullify or take away from salvation? It does not It does not Now if your kids 8 9 10 11 12 years old Then you might you got it you got you got 12 year old that believes in Santa Claus. You got a bigger problem Now my now someone's Corey's is teaching his kids about Santa Claus. No, I'm not But I'm not gonna go and say yeah, no, I ain't no it's not because here's what we do You all can tell me you all tell me what you think I got the chance I want to see what your chapter saying what you're saying but Everything that kids believe that you know is not true Make believe stuff Kids stuff. Do you make it a point to go and tell them that ain't real? I want to know Do you go and make it a point to anything that is? Not listen not ungodly. I'm not saying that but things that are not real Not true Do you make it a point to say nope stay away from that? I Want to know? Because we'll find out That you're probably gonna be inconsistent. Let me give you an example people have said I heard a guy was saying that I don't like the fact that this particular pastor This particular preacher is on tbn tbn. They're not godly. They shouldn't be on tbn Now the person was making this statement on the person who was making this statement Ronnie Bear them stop talking. Please stop stop stop spamming. I heard you the first time, okay? The person was saying that they were saying this about tbn in a comment section on YouTube Let that sink in They were making a statement a negative statement about tbn, which it was accurate statement about tbn While in a Christian on a Christian YouTube channel on YouTube If tbn is too bad for them to be on there to watch Certainly YouTube is too bad for you to be listened to and watching sometimes. We're not actually consistent and even in our approach So back to this whole Santa Claus I'll let you all figure it now. I tell we tell our kids the truth I Think you guys are some people are missing that because I literally just said we tell them if they know about Jesus These children also think that My little pony is real But these cartoons are real They're for Lord, they're for Now I'm not getting rid of a four-year-old that ain't real Three years that ain't real. I'm not gonna do that Now you can fine Now our children love the Lord grandchildren love it. So I'm not gonna do that. I Am not going to do that So I said, yeah, I don't let them watch nothing super you have to watch what they're watching because even now We watch what they watch Cocoa melon Cocoa melon. There was a there was a guy in a sweater And I said because my my daughter said who's this guy in a sweater? I Said sweater. Hey, he keeps showing up. It's got a sweater. I said a sweater a guy with a sweater keeps showing up Me and my you know just From my my error Men that kept wearing like these little mr. Rogers were not mr. Rogers Mr. Roger type sweaters all the time and they're always extra friendly We need to be careful about that guys and so I'm just joking. I was just joking, huh? He might be one of those guys got a sweater. He might be, you know, really friendly Come to find out the guy with the sweater has a friend that stays with him a male friend and Both of them wear sweaters So you have to watch it Why would Cocoa melon do this? Why it makes no sense? So if you guys Yeah, listen There are so many things that have entered a little dark place So you have to vet this stuff and make sure that they aren't watching things that that is detrimental Having some Imagination so forth. I don't I don't have a problem with that at all. I Really don't as long as what they're watching what they're doing is not Ungodly it's not antithetical means not teaching or preaching against God. I don't have a problem at all Now I did see where someone says the brother who said that I did is there a guy who says he's a he's an apostle in here Let me let me see this I Meant to highlight that is there a guy that did someone say he's an apostle in the chats I think there was a guy with a bald head. I think uh Okay, oracles of God are you Are you saying if you're still here? Are you saying that you are an apostle? I? Like to know I'd like to know So, okay Let me I would love to talk with you. I wish this this cat would show I think the cat recognizes it's time. It's getting close to time ago But yeah, if you are indeed if you say that you're an apostle Brother send me it send me an email. Let's let's talk. I Was I don't think you are an apostle? But I like to talk I like to like to have I like to hear your word on the matter Is it where I just I just saw the question about the virgin birth. Oh, here it is Was the virgin birth a requirement or only a sign? Well, it was both It was a sign Because well, that's that's how we know That this is gonna happen. He says we're told it's gonna happen It's gonna be a virgin because people say well the word doesn't mean virgin. Well, it just means a young woman a Woman will duh everybody born of a woman Jesus is born of a woman, but what made it different was it was a virgin? It was not only a sign but it was also a requirement because his seat would not be the seat of a man But of God That's why he says in Hebrews 10 a body you do not prepare for me. I mean a body you prepared for me So this is clearly someone who didn't have a sin nature like ours. It's not born of Of us he didn't have the same sort of DNA that we have In that he has a father Now, I don't know if they could put his DNA under microscope what it would look like have no idea But he's not born like us. He doesn't he didn't have the same sort of Lineage that we would have so okay. So you are you saying that you are? You're saying you're an apostle you've contacted me many times, okay. Well, listen, I apologize Sometimes the best way to contact me is if you happen to live with me So other than that it can be it can be difficult. I apologize I Would love to talk with you. I can't do it now can't do it now. I would love to talk with you So I'll tell you what I don't know you'd have to well Send an email and tell me that it's oracles of God And I'd like to talk to you No, is it let them on No, because we're getting ready to move out. We're gonna leave So I like to talk to you Most apostles don't like talking to me nowadays Can't imagine why Can't imagine why most apostles and prophets don't want to talk to me by the way guys in case you didn't hear we haven't seen or heard Mondays Mondays even Monday evenings Livestream won't be happening not in the evening because I will be on remnant radio with those guys at 4 p.m Central time. I know you don't but that isn't a sign that you're right oracles of God and you too. Okay, all right No, listen, would you be willing to have a conversation? About your apostleship how you became an apostle what an apostle is how do you know for a fact? That you are an apostle that kind of stuff, you know Just same stuff kind of Paul had to had to deal with is saying the orthodox cross symbol You mean is having the orthodox cross symbol On your chest, okay, I believe me like engraved as a tattoo or on your shirt You're not going to hell for it so Well, I tell you what I tell you what I'll do next time or I'll do a video or probably just next time I'll explain it because if I do it right now, it's gonna take a while I don't think what people think that if you believe in limited if you reject limited atonement You cannot you have to you have to also reject Predestination, no, they don't have to go hand in hand I think that if you adopt Calvinism that you you think that all of those go together Dog on it Chris Tommy's getting his hair cut. I'll tell you what you can do Chris Send me an email and then we'll set up a time and you can come on at your own leisure. How about that? We can do it live or we can just record it But I was looking at me saying I forgot what I was talking about. What was I talking about? I was just talking about And my mind just went somewhere different. I'm sorry getting old getting old folks Getting old I have no idea what I was talking about Just just stopped It's not a small question a brother. It really isn't a small question Because my my contention my point is one Why do you call yourself an apostle? Who calls your possible? How do you know you're an apostle? What's the benefit of you yourself being an apostle? those sort of things What what's the reason what do you have any extra authority more authority than others? Do you have power or what have that's what is it? Thank you, brother. Thank you. Let me put a star right this I won't forget Do you have some extra authority that others don't have? You being apostle Where does that put you as it relates to other believers? How does that put you as relates to me or one of these people in the chat or just a regular pastor? Those are the questions. Yeah, I'm sorry. That's what I was talking about limited atonement and predestination I don't think the two have to be necessarily joined together You can think that the lord has chosen people to be saved And that his death He died for everyone, but it won't be beneficial for everyone Because Just like israel he chose israel He died or there was a sacrificial A death given under the old covenant atonement For all of israel But it was not beneficial for all israel and it clearly was given for all of israel and we're having the same thing Um, just different elements. Jesus playing the part of the high priest Jesus playing the part of the sacrifice the sacrificial offering Jesus playing the part of the scapegoat well under the old covenant the scapegoat the sacrificial offering the high priest They did those things for all of israel that part is not disputed All of it was and someone's going to actually probably dispute it now But all of israel the death the sacrifice was was given for them But it didn't benefit all of them so much the same way Uh limited atonement I just I just I see the scriptures are saying that he literally died for the whole world Not only us alone, but also the world you've got to take that for what it means Not for us only but for the whole world Not just for us christians only but for us christians. No that didn't make any sense to me. So Oh, you mean like doing this Is that that's what you're talking about? I'm sorry. I misunderstood you bro. I'm sorry. Yeah, that's yeah, don't do that That's silly. Don't don't do that Don't do that That does absolutely nothing That does if I'm sorry. I'm misunderstanding. Yeah, that don't don't do that Where's my where's my possible buddy? I'm okay. I didn't miss this. Okay. Yeah, but those are kind of questions And by the way, brother, I think those are important. I think it's important that people maybe not you but others are grabbing titles Why? Why can't you be frank or bob or joe? so Why do you have to be a apostle so-and-so and here's the other thing Here's the other thing And I would love for all you apostles to tell me how come the overwhelming and even close the overwhelming majority of apostles Proclaimed apostles Are wrong doc me. How how are these guys so doctrinally off? Where does it say in the bible that there are no more apostles today? There are warnings of fake apostles, but where does okay Generically you can be an apostle because all it just simply means is someone that is being sent now the reason why That's why I'm asking the question What sort of apostle are you? Not not this guy, but whomever what sort of apostle are you because If you're saying you're an apostle of christ Well, now we got a problem because the bible literally talks about what the requirements of an apostle for jesus christ is And of the other apostles and the church gave validity to those people So here's a person comes two thousand years later said that they had that they're an apostle of jesus christ In much the same way that paul or peter Then we got an issue We have a huge issue because now we're adding to what the bible didn't say we're we're discounting what the bible says Okay So that's one issue now could a person be an apostle today? If I send you to the grocery store, you are you are literally my apostle In the strictest sense of that word because I sent you But there's no power with that Okay, all right. Listen, brother. Listen. I don't know why this is the other thing that that that that apostles do I wasn't getting cocky with you. I made a statement. I said I was asking the question Okay, um, you can say the question's a juvenile. I can promise you they're not juvenile, but if that's the case listen, brother I let me just say this I was extending an offer to have a conversation. We don't have to Brother sisters ladies and gentlemen, we don't have to There's far more things that I can do. I didn't come to your channel You came here and I opened up the the possibility If you want to have a conversation fine If you want to be snarky then okay fine do that elsewhere But I was asking questions you can call them juvenile All you want to because I don't accept the fact that you call yourself an apostle I'm asking what sort of apostle are you? What's wrong? How's that juvenile you want to be called an apostle? I can't ask you why you're an apostle Paul literally defended his apostleship He defended his he can defend his but you but for you to have to defend yours. That's wrong. No, that's what we probably have an issue already so I asked what sort of an apostle Pagani was on he said that he's an apostle but not in that same vein a different type of apostle. Okay fine Then in my question was why call yourself an apostle We can't ask you a question always be ready to give a defense or a hope of the hope that's in you But I can't ask you a question or the question is juvenile Let me just say this and not you brother But anyone anyone that takes attack that if you ask a question about them what they put out You put that on your moniker you put that on your shingle you hung that outside your door and I asked you about it Then I'm wondering I'm wondering so If I said that my name is dr. Cory minor and someone well, how are you a doctor? I should be able to explain Other otherwise don't use the term doctor. That's all Brother all I've done is ask you questions. I haven't I haven't made any assumptions about you I haven't I haven't made one assumption about your last questions. I've asked questions, but So Send me an email we can have this conversation All right, I'm still open to have the conversation because again most apostles most Um people that call themselves apostles don't want to have this conversation with me I'm never I'm not rude I'm not belligerent so Tell you what Would you like to come on right now? They're asking to come on. I I've got a few minutes Uh, I've got a I've got a few minutes we can we can Um talk about it now if you if you want to or if you want to just email we can do this somewhere else So I'll I'll ask you now if you want to present comment I'll just If you want to come on. Let me know I'll put here. I'll put the put the deal on the on the deal I'll put this this tag on there. I got I got a few minutes So While I entertain the cat coming in um Let's take a few more questions No, I listen chestnut my promise you I will not I promise you I will not Promise you I will not gotta I got a bunch of stuff to do So really quickly brother, so I'm not I'm not waiting just in case you can't um Do you want to come on right now? Yes, no problem if you don't want to come on right now I don't want I don't want to be you know like pushing you or anything like that If you don't want to come right now, let me let me know if you do then then find so that way I can just I can move on Yeah, we're Oh, there he is He just walked by me. I'm I'm I'm pretty sure I'm pretty sure this cat is going to jump up here in a second Should we follow I'm not sure Stephanie. I'm not sure what you mean. Should we follow Sect a sec. I'm not sure. I know what you mean I'm not I'm not sure what you mean I'll cover that later if if you don't mind I don't want to cover it now because we may have to cover it and just you have assumed Okay, brother my question right now Do you want to come on right now? Do you want to come on? I know someone is trying to come on right now I I only want to have the uh the brother come on right now because I want to go ahead and move on Um, so I'm sorry Grave digger Just for just for this brother right now. I'm sorry. So let me know. All right. Uh Now you have to understand and and I I didn't catch what you said your your real name was Rasham thoughts on Hebrew Israelites. Uh, I don't think about them at all. I don't I don't When it comes to the scriptures, they are extra light Again, I I said before and I meant this and I don't have a favorite view of Jehovah's Witnesses or Mormons I'd rather you be a Jehovah's Witness or Mormon than to be a Hebrew Israelites but If we read the scriptures and this is what I want you to understand brother Um, okay, if you want to do it right now, then just hit the I put the link in the in the in the chats Go ahead and click the link and you can come on right now Okay But if I read scriptures And the scriptures to me say one thing and then someone says that they are this and it seems to go against what I believe I don't I shouldn't be expected to all of a sudden because this person says Well, let me just adopt what they say But what I will do is ask questions. I'm willing to engage and talk to a person. Hey I see it this way. Tell me where I'm wrong Isn't that what we should do? Faith makes one rich channel Maybe possibly Maybe possibly that still is the desire, but um Okay, well then just send me an email and we'll we'll go from there. All right All right guys, um Do I think the church as a whole has lost its focus on the seriousness of salvation? By the way, I like that that uh profile picture. That's cool. I like that Yes and no Because sometimes what we call the church is just what we see as a church But it's not really the church if you catch my drift Sometimes We see the folks that are dressed up or guess nowadays not dressed up Who go to the buildings and go for the gatherings and say that that's all the church And then what we do is we number all of those people um Send to the to the uh google Smart christian channel ed gmail And there is the cat Uh, but what we do is we number all of the people. Let's just say it's a billion. I don't know A billion people that we number in the church and then what we do is What we do is When they start acting or behaving a certain way We say well the church has gone away The the church has gone awry the church has gone astray now the people that go to the church There will be a falling away of the Belief of the faith the tenets of the faith, but not a falling way of faith. Are you with me? and so I wouldn't Okay, no, I got to knock him off because he's getting ready to go in front of the camera. There you go Good thing he lands on his feet Because he's getting ready to walk walk this way and walk right in front of the camera and just sit there It's what he always does He'll come and sit right there in front of the camera as the I think he knows there's a camera there But sometimes we end up let's we end up um Calling everything that's in the church the church I understand because there's no way that we can actually identify who is who isn't But if if by your question you mean kind of writ large all of the profess believers Yes, we have gotten away from the main thing. I think we have fundamentally misunderstood salvation now Matter of fact, no, you know what even to your point even the actual church. I'm sorry. Let me correct myself I was wrong. No, even the entire the church the the true church has also Fundamentally misunderstood and moved away from what salvation is the importance of salvation What actually is salvation? The problem is too many people simply don't know what salvation is why it was put there too many people have Thought that it's just about one thing and it's not Being saved is being declared right being in rights and not righteous of yourself Now that you've done something That's not what it is being saved is be stated and be seen in right standing by God How does that happen that happens? Remember we're talking about the atonement All of this is what we're doing right now Is what we're seeing that we saw under the old coveted and even prior to the old covenant even in the garden It's all about this atonement this reconciliation the atonement. There's three elements to it There's a covering a canceling and a reconciliation Now no the cat just just left so the covering that means the sin or the debt is gone Whatever's left behind the uh, the uh the collateral damage The debt that's oh that's canceled and because the the sin is canceled the debt is covered I mean this the sin is covered the debt is canceled There can then be a reconciliation God has always wanted to be reconciled with his people Even after they fell in the garden. What does God offer them? He gives them the ability to bring about an offering to him We even see so if you just trust God and follow him He wants to have a relationship with you Even at that point even as we go into the even with with Abraham We see Abraham doing the same thing God wants fellowship with even Abraham with his people this is prior to the law Then we see the law given What does he give them? He gives them offerings Why so that they can have this fellowship with him? That's why under the old covenant guys. That's why and it's the same thing that we see now guys And you don't get away from this. It's the exact same thing. You see a high priest administering this You see a high priest who has to have his sins atoned for and what does he do? He pronounces all the sins of the people on the head of the scapegoat on that lamb and does what? Send that lamb away. Well, what does Jesus do? Jesus won the high priest who also can identify with us, but does not sin He's a perfect high priest and then what does John say? He is the lamb who does what? Take away the sins of the world just like the scapegoat does Then we've got this sacrificial offering Whose blood is going to be shed on the altar and it must be a perfect sacrifice Accepted of God and those people who have afflicted their souls humble themselves And place their faith in this offering that God accepted they are in right standing At that point in time it was for one year and you had to repeat year after year after year Now what do we have the same thing? With better elements as Hebrews is telling us we have a better high priest. We have a better scapegoat We have a better sin offering and the offering was made one time This is the problem Well, how we treat salvation as though that the blood of christ was just like the blood of that bull's and goat We treat the blood of christ just like it was in the old the blood of christ is no better than beseed the bull No, beseed the bull. That's a girl then bob the bull We treat the blood of christ no better than some animals blood Why because the blood that was shed on the altar under the old covenant was good temporarily But then we come back and say that the blood that jesus shed on the cross is good temporarily No, it's not that's why the writer he says that he gave his offering once and for all And once you have placed your faith in him because you are justified Paul says in romans if god has justified you well then who cares what anybody else and come back and say Is god who justifies they can't bring a charge against you God is the one that justifies so because frank or bob or mary osu says no quarry You're teaching heresy. Well, listen to hell with what you're saying not with you But what you're saying because what you're saying is you're accusing god's blood of being inefficient To hell with that sort of thinking i literally mean it just how i said it To hell with that sort of thinking that the blood of christ is no better than the blood of bulls and goats Why says the blood the bulls and goats is insufficient it cannot take away sin like his does That's why he entered into this this uh the sacrifice once and then what did he do after that? He sat down the reason why we do cover salvation so much is because that's what the book is about The entire book from genesis to revelation is about our salvation and then us walking in that salvation So when someone comes back and says otherwise and still to this date at present whether it's dr Brown whether it's dr Gagnana dr Whoever you still can't get past these other parts of the bible that we bring up that they cannot refute Well, what about this book? What about bad chapter? What about this verse fine? We'll cover that but you can't cover the ones where god has solemnly promised that this will happen to those who need Place his his his faith in i'm sorry his faith his spirit in you can't get past that And anyone that says different is either ignorant or lying I'll i'll give the people the benefit of death. They're ignorant But to state that those that trample on the blood of god as though it's some cheap thing What was the purpose of him dying if you can lose your salvation if you can be atoned for today And then unatoned for tomorrow. That's the exact same situation that the jews found themselves in So why did jesus go on the cross then to have the same thing? He did not That's and so that's why I retract my statement yet Even the church has has fundamentally dropped the ball in their understanding of salvation what it is. We are saved We will we as john 524 says we have passed from death Into life passed from it no more judgment to come That's it. That's the beauty. So what's the gospel? Not that salvation has come to the jews Not that salvation has come to the world. Nope. That's not the gospel The good news is that salvation has come to the jews and to the world permanently amen
