 you guys doing to help you all do. I won't say refreshed, but I'm almost refreshed. I laid down yesterday, took a quick little nap. In that 10-15 minutes, it turned into be three and a half hours. I was tired. I did, you know, sometimes you don't realize how tired you are. And my body said, yeah, no, he's not getting up. The only thing that woke me up was my wife popping back home. She came back home. She didn't leave me. She went to work and she came back home. So I was tired. And matter of fact, I was so tired, slept so good last night. I didn't even realize a cat was laying on me on my leg for the, but anyway, hello Clarice. How are you? By the way, Jeff, yeah, resubmit your question because it did get cut off by YouTube. I don't like why they do that. I don't like how they do that. But anyway, I said I'll try to do a live stream today, Q and A, because I'm going on again live later on this afternoon to address the video we were supposed to cover yesterday. And so let me go ahead and get into it. No, old folks, don't sleep a lot, CG. We rebuke that. That is blasphemous. That is, what do you call that? That is slanderous. And oh, by the way, you're going to be old one day too. But no, actually, that's not the case. I was just tired. I was just tired. So anyway, okay, let me go ahead and jump into some of these questions. I wish I could mark where I left off. And there might be a way on here, but I can't. So let's go ahead and jump into it. Let's go to the first question. And some of these questions are easy to kind of run through. Jessica Miller says, what happened? Here's a good question, by the way. What happened to Lazarus after Jesus brought him back? What was his life like? How long did he live? Do they try killing him, et cetera? Well, Jessica, I can tell you exactly what happened to him. He realized the air of his ways and he cut his hair off, he cut all his hair off, shaved it off and lived a life as a happy bald man. That's exactly, well, that's what I think happened. The Bible doesn't say what happened to him. There's no way to know. We don't know. And so now we know he died again at some point in time. But how long, as a matter of fact, another question people might even ask is when Jesus was in the tomb on that day, when then people all got out of the tomb and moved around, what happened to them? Who are these people? We just don't know. So we don't know what happened to Lazarus after that. We know eventually he died. But prayerfully, while he was in the grave, he learned that hair was not important. I'm pretty sure he learned that hair was just simply, it's just vanity. As a matter of fact, it's unnecessary vanity. So there's no way to know. In all honesty, there's no way to know. Okay, next question. Byron says, what does your take on preachers using their church as a pipeline to get more business for their own funeral home? I'm going to go out on a limb and say this is probably you're probably referencing some black churches, churches with a black pastor. I don't know how many white. Sometimes there's some things that seem more along the lines of some of the black churches. And if that's what a person is doing, that's wrong. You don't use the church as a front for your business or to promote you or do anything that lifts you up. I think that it's a good idea that if you just do what you're supposed to do and then the Lord blesses you, he knows how to bless you. Byron says, yes, sir. He knows how to bless you. He doesn't need you to go through deceptive means and so forth, deceptive practices. He doesn't need you to do anything to be as a front for your own gain. I could probably say the same thing for myself in my past. And so God will deal with you. God will deal with you. The one thing that you want to make sure that you do, and I know this from personal experience, I know this from just other people's experience. Some cases more egregious in the next, some just ever so slightly. But you want to do your very best to where if God's name is attached to you, that there be no impropriety, that there be nothing that resembles any impropriety, because one, God is jealous for his name. And if you're fortunate and he deals with you, you'll be able to live after that. But he has the right to kill you as a result of it. And so I would say it'd be best just to not do that, be on the up and up as much as possible, even if you think you have good intentions. Because truth be told, whether you have good intentions or you think you have good intentions, it doesn't matter. Sin is wrong, deceptive sin or sin that didn't start off as deceptive, but you have good intentions, that doesn't really matter. When his name is attached to it, and you use it for your benefit, then he will deal with you and will deal with you harshly. That is, if you were pinned before then, and even still, there still might be some lingering punishments and consequences. And so that's wrong. It is, as a matter of fact, I think a funeral home or any other thing that might be associated with it should be totally separate. I don't even, me personally, I would rather not even see the pastor's face on the building, you know, maybe a portrait would have you. Unless, you know, you just want to honor all the pastors of the church, you have a long, rich history of pastors and you want to honor them, but you've got to be careful because it's not your church, it's not your ministry. All you, all you are doing is serving. All your job to do is to kind of give the word and to usher people towards a closer relationship with God and do your very best not to be a hindrance, and then try not to profit off of that in the future. Amen. William Moffitt asked a question. Jude 1.14, he quoted a saying by Enoch, why isn't the book of Enoch in the Bible? Well, there's a good reason for that because everything that's quoted in the Bible is not necessarily canonical or meant to be. What's in the Bible, what's in the Bible is what God has deemed for us to know in order to know more about him and for the benefit of our salvation. That's all. The Bible is a book of salvation. That's the whole point of it. It is a book of salvation. So there are there, it can reference other books and it does references that book. It references the book of Yasha or Jasher. There are other chronicles. There are the writings that are referenced in the Bible. So most, most of the books that the Bible reference are not mentioned by name and even still none of those deserve or required or weren't being in the Bible. So it's just like us having a conversation and we've mentioned or us writing a book and in the book we've mentioned what was written in the Constitution. Well, do we have to add the Constitution to the book? No, it's just point of reference because clearly it was a book that was known by some people or many people at that time. Firefuly, I'll come back to your question in just a second. Let's see, spider monkey, what sins did Esther and Nehemiah commit just asking out of curiosity? That's an interesting question. I've heard this before. Okay, so let's go to Nehemiah chapter one verse six. Let your ear, now by the way was the last time you were already in Nehemiah. He says, let your ear now be attentive and your eyes open to hear the prayer of your servant, which I am praying before you. I'm sorry, before you now day and night on behalf of the sons of Israel, your servants confessing the sins of your sons, the sons of Israel, which we have sinned against you. Notice how he includes himself. He says, I in my father's house have sinned. We have acted very corruptly against you and have not kept the commandments nor the statutes nor the ordinances which you commanded your servant, Moses. Well, so what sin are you talking about Nehemiah? Well, Nehemiah wasn't perfect. And so without question, Nehemiah has sinned. Can I just give you a newsflash also? Everybody in the Bible except for Jesus has sinned. Yeah, newsflash. Paul sinned. As a matter of fact, Paul puts his sin of pride and arrogance on display. He talks about it. Peter sinned. John sinned. If they didn't sin, even though they're apostles, even if they're filled with the Holy Spirit, well, if they if they don't longer in sin, guess what they don't need? They don't need. They don't need Jesus. Wait a minute, where everybody needs Jesus? Well, okay, not if you're not sinning, but they sin in the past. Well, wait a second. When they sin, especially somebody like Paul, what was Paul doing? Paul was Paul was as zealous for the law as possible. Do you think Paul was adhering to the day of atonement? Sure he was. And so he would be, according to the law, in right standing. And I'm pretty sure he was offering his off, giving his offerings. And so why would he need to be before? Why? And if then receiving the Holy Spirit and then no longer sinned, you wouldn't, he wouldn't need Jesus, would he? Well, obviously he does. Why? Because Paul sins. Peter sins. John sinned. James sinned. Thaddeus sins. Bartholomew sins. Thomas sins. The other Simon sins. Everybody sins except for Jesus. And so including Nehemiah, including Moses, including Abraham, they all sinned. Even the very first person to walk on the earth who was a human being, Adam sinned. So he's probably just, just being gracious, but really true, honestly being truthful and acknowledges the fact that he also sins as well. But what specific sins? The, the specific sins aren't the issue. This is something that I think would be good for us to know. Specific sins aren't the, aren't the issue with God. Even though these specific sins might have consequences, the big picture is that you recognize the fact that you are a bucket of sin. You are a ball of sin. And the only thing that you have to, to, to, to hinder that sin is your profession of faith, acknowledging of that sin and you're yielding to the Holy Spirit. That's it. Whatever the sin is. Because big sins can kill just like little sins. And I'm saying little sins and big sins, not there are necessarily big little sins. But my point is you take a little sin, a big sin, whatever sin you think is greater than the next sin or whatever, they all can kill, they all can destroy, they all can cause a problem. So, no, no, I just happen to see that I'll, I'll, I'll answer the question second Curtis. Um, Nathaniel, son pie, I hope I'm saying that correctly. How do you find the perfect verses in the Holy Bible to answer very specific questions? Well, sometimes you can't, there is no, there are some verses that, that verse that, that's the perfect response. But the only way that you can do so is just to study as much as you can, but even also be honest enough that if you ask a question, hey, I don't know, let me check that out. Let me, let me do some research. There are times when people ask a question here. Uh, let me go look through the passage. Let's, let's, let's look at it for a second. Okay. The reason why we do the Bible said the way we do, and we have it kind of in this chronology so that we can know what's happening. So when someone says this is what's happening with, with, um, I don't know, in one of the prophets books, then we can think back, okay, what's happening at this time? If we go chronologically, chronologically through the Gospels, what is happening at this time? So we can understand. It's almost, listen guys, like a movie, you all have seen a movie where you haven't seen what's going to happen, but you know what has happened, what's happening, and where they're trying to go, oh, okay, I have an idea of what's going to happen. Oh, he's going to get it, or she's going to do this, no, or, or this was happening when they make a statement. Cause think about it. When you ever watched a movie where you know what's happening, you're into it, got your popcorn going and someone walks in the room and asked, Hey, what's happening? Push pause. Now I've got to stop and explain to you, but the thing is you can stop and explain to them. They have no idea because they haven't kept up with what's been happening. And so even what was said in front of them at that time didn't make any sense to them, but because you're hearing it, even though you're not, you don't know what's going to happen, you have an idea because you've been paying attention as the movie has progressed. So that is, uh, that's the best way to have a good text because maybe you might not get the best text that you could possibly give, but you can give some text that at least help to clarify it. And then while you're doing that, Oh, you know what? I thought about this text or someone else will remind you of another text. So there is no such, there is no such or no, no good answer to that question other than just be as prepared as you possibly can always give an answer and then it's supposed to do. And I've heard, I've heard people use this so out of context, so out of context, always be ready to give an answer to anyone who asks you. Well, does that mean whatever someone asks you, be ready and think about that for a second. Matter of fact, let me ask you guys a question. If someone asks you a question, let's put it, let's put the pass on the screen. Let me, where's, um, let's, let's put on the screen. This is 1st Peter 315. Let's put this on the screen and you all answer this question for me. There's always, well, first of all, sanctify Christ as Lord in your hearts, always being ready to make a defense or this word, which is given answer to the defense and answer to anyone who asks you to give an account for the hope that is in you yet with gentleness and reverence and keep a good conscience. So that in the things in which you are slandered, but it says thing, which I didn't, you know, I never paid attention to this before I had, but so that in the things in which you are slandered, those who revolve your good behavior in Christ will be put to shame. This, you know what? I was intending on reading just, just verse 15, verse 16, just bless me. As a matter of fact, I'm gonna tell you why they bless me in just a second, but the first part of it, the first part of it, look what it says, but sanctify Christ as Lord in your hearts, always being ready to make a defense. Now, do you all think that that means to give, to give an answer to anybody that asks a question of you? Think about the first second and I want you guys to participate with me. If, if someone asks a question, if someone asks you anything, can, should they, should they expect a response for whatever about what's happening with you now? What's happened with the past? What you're going to do in the future? What do you think? Should you always, should you always be ready to give an answer or defense for whatever they ask? Now, think about that for a second guys. I want you guys to, what just happened to my phone? What is, what is going on right here? Okay, this phone is acting up. What is it? It's like an iPhone 2 or something. It's just, I don't, it just did something real weird and then cut off. Maybe it's being hacked. I don't know. Shereen says, no, I don't think so. Aaron A says, Jesus didn't answer every question. Anola says, yes and no. What do you mean? You just, Anola, yes and no. What does that mean, Anola? Let, the answer guys is actually in the question itself. The answer is in the text. Let's go, let's put the text back on the screen. Well, sanctify Christ as Lord in your heart always being ready to make a defense to everyone who asks to give you an account for the hope that is in you. Give an account for what? Give a defense of what? A response to what? It just says so. Always being ready to make a defense to everyone who asks you to give an account for the hope that is in you. Hey, I'm just curious. What, what happened with, with you and, and I don't know your job? Well, that's none of your business. Well, no, but the Bible says always be written, no, to the hopeless. So anything that is about this book about the gospel, about the word, about our teaching, anything doctrinal, that's the point. Some people have taken this and just went, yeah, if someone asks you, defend yourself. Yeah. Okay. No, that's not how that's, that's you. But you know what? This just bless me. This just bless me and keep a good conscience so that in the things in which you are slandered, huh, those who revile your good behavior in Christ will be put to shame. Let me just say this for a second. Oh, God, I'm almost ready to preach this right here because I too know what it's like to be, and you also have well, you also know what it's like to be slandered. You also has a defamation lawsuit from Prophet Lovey arrived yet. No, Lovey is not suing anybody. Why? Because now there is somebody, I think there was somebody out there that was making cases about him personally. But no, because when you issue that, then you know what you got to do, you got to bring out your, your evidence. So he's not doing that. He's not in there. Maybe there's some things out there that he didn't want to get out. But everybody's been been slandered. Everybody has been defamed. Everyone's had that. And in many cases, in some cases, in many cases, in most cases, I'm not sure it depends on the person. There's good reason. I can simply say there was, there's a lot of things that I have done, but you know what? I got that coming. I got that coming. So therefore, I can take it because I put myself in position. You all have to in some cases, but we don't like to get it. Matter of fact, we wish that people just shut up and let that go. It doesn't bother me, though. It really doesn't bother me. As a matter of fact, as I said before, it is, it can be a badge of honor. Now, some folks say, hey, you know what? Listen, you've run your course. Now, sit down and shut up. But he says, there's a key to this, things in which you are slandered, those who revalue your good behavior. Well, you need to make sure that you've got some good behavior. Yeah, but in my case, 20 years ago, you did this, this, and this, and this. Yeah, but what is my good behavior now? Well, I think, I think that, okay, that's fine. That's fine. What you think is fine. So all you have to do is be secure in where you are now and how he sees you. That's it. That saves a lot of headaches. Saves a lot of headaches. Now, the reason why I pulled that up is because who asked this question? Actually, two people asked this question. Anola asked a question and then Firefilly asked a question, said, sorry, I have, I have to know. Were you in this person's apology chat yesterday? And I was because I intend to give a response. It would have been, well, I'm not sure when we get the response. I'm not in that big of a hurry, but I tend to give a response and I want the people that are over there listening. I want them to hear something. Not so much my defense. I really care less about my defense, but I will, I will answer some questions because there's something bigger. Anola also asked a question. Are you planning to address the YouTube channel that keeps going after you because you want, because you want to pass for a church due to your past? Yeah, and I am. Now, and this is the part that bothers me, guys. This, this is honestly, I'm to be honest with you and you'll hear it in the video. This, the part that bothers me is I really don't like having to explain myself or give a defense. Why? Because if, if, if you asked me about something and I, I try to explain what happens, how does it look? Are you like you're making excuses? Like you're defending yourself? And I really hate that. Listen, if you feel this way, are there some people in the past that don't like me now? I'm pretty sure there are. I'm pretty sure there are. Are there some people that don't like me from the past with great reason? Yes, there is. What should I do? Kill myself? No, you know, the people that Paul hurt and harmed. What about him? Wait, hold on, hold on, hold on. Corey, are you compare yourself to Paul? No, I'm not comparing myself to Paul. I'm giving an example. I'm giving an example. And so all I can do is all I can do. If I could go back in there, if I can listen, if I have some, this is what I need. I can fix it. If you gave me some bubblegum, some tape, if you give me some Elmer's glue, if you give me some brown sugar, pure grape brown sugar, if you give me some, some cow milk, give me a blender, give me a wrench, a hammer, nails, some wood, I can make a time machine and go back and fix all my problems and undo all my sin, if you can give me that. But I can't. So all I can do, all you can do, all we can do is all we can do. And so let's just live godly going forward. How about like what Jesus says, go and sin no more. Oh, no, Jeff, better than MacGyver, better than MacGyver. MacGyver has nothing on me, mainly because he's got hair. I don't. Hair holds you back. If you don't know anything yet, if you don't know that yet, hair holds you back. So and so don't there again, there's a couple reasons why I have to do this. There's a couple reasons why I have to do this. And I'll be honest with you guys, I'm even still praying. I'm even still praying. Lord, is this okay? Give me ease, give me comfort because I don't, I don't want, I don't want slime going back and forth. I don't want it because what's going to happen? It's going to be some more whatever. You know, I really don't. When I tell you, oh, I had this sheet out, I was going to show all the stuff that I have to do. Saturday is going to be really big. I mean really busy. I've got the Bible set on Saturday, then later on I have to go do a funeral. And so I got some other things to do. It's, it's, it's just busy. It's just busy. I got, today's going to be busy. Saturday's busy. Saturday's real busy. Sunday's real busy. That shouldn't be that busy on Sunday. Monday is going to be, going to be busy. Moonstar, I have you, I have you as Moonstar. So and by the way, I'm not getting to all your questions today. I thought about actually coming back Sunday though. I thought about coming back Sunday for Q and A. Would you all have a, what do you all think? Should we do a Q and A Sunday three times in one week, even though Sunday's the beginning of the next week? Should, should we, I got Tatum also have you. That's a nice name. Tatum. What do you all think? Should we, should we come back Sunday and do it? I'm not sure when, but usually, and usually I don't do any live streams on Sundays. If there's a video that comes up on Sunday, or would it be better to do it Monday, Monday during the day? I don't know. I don't know. I've, I've got to ask my wife permission. Why? Because that's the day that, that the old man that sees Mrs. Mrs. Yes, please don't go on it. Now you made it. Okay. All right. We'll figure out a time Sunday. I'll tell you what, you guys put, put in the comment section, what time Sunday and we'll do it. Well, I should, no, I should, well, put it, what time is good for you? That, that would be that time, but we'll see. But anyway, in regards to answering the question, deal with, deal with what's going on. I'm at the point where I have to, because mama said, deal with it, because there's, you digging around snooping and this and that or whatever, and what you're finding has already been told. You just switch it up and changing it into okay, fine. Okay, fine. So anyway, that being the case, let's go ahead and jump into the question that you guys just submitted. By the way, Laurier Gentry, thank you so much. I really do appreciate that super chat. Thank you so much. Makes me feel special. And Doki Doki Bible Club, thank you so much as well. I appreciate that. There are, let me just say this as well. By the way, and I've got them, I've got to make a, put a post up. People have, I do my very best. Matter of fact, not the best I have. I've never asked anyone ever to give anything. I've never asked anyone to give me anything. I've asked one time where there was a person, a subscriber viewer, whose family was in need. I don't do that often because it becomes a thing. I can't tell you how often folks are scamming on YouTube. And so that time, but I don't ask for me. And I try to be careful about anything having to deal with money with me because, hey, Corey, that Corey's after money, Corey, Corey. So, but I thank you. But what I didn't do though, on YouTube, people, people have given on the, the super, super things, the things what they're called. And I go back and check it manually. There's a button that you can click that shows all of those. And I like, wow, I didn't even know. And so someone had given here, given there. And I like to always say thank you when someone, you know, when something does, I don't care if it's, if it's $10, if it's $1, if it's $5, $20. Because I'll, I'll be honest with you. The, the, the larger numbers like, Oh man, wow. Hey man, thank you, praise God. But you know what also touches me? I'm not making this up guys. When someone gives $1.99 or 99, that, that absolutely floors me. Can I, can I tell you why, can I tell you why? And I was talking to someone else who has a, who has a channel, and I was talking to my wife. I said, when you think about this, I might, yeah, we're going to go Sunday. I'm not going to be able to get to these questions. I'm sitting there taking up too much time now. But I was in a, I was in a jail cell. I was rotten away. And even then, you know, my, my day was working out, studying, doing a little different Bible study lessons, doing stuff with guys on the compound, God needs prayer. Guy has a question. Same, almost really the same thing I'm doing now. And if you could have told me I could sit back and do this now, God is not asked for anything. God is, God is good. And if, and I don't care that no one knows or believes that I love him as much as I say I do, but man, I love him. I trust him implicitly. If, if people could see the stuff that I had to deal with and go through, amen, whatever, whatever. When I say whatever, I don't mean whatever, like it doesn't bother me, it doesn't faze me, whatever, but I'll just keep moving. I'll just keep moving. I know, I know the side and see, but he said asking isn't a sin. I know. It's just me. And I don't want to, and by the way, if, if, if other, if other people on YouTube are asking to support them, man, listen, if you, if you find in your heart to support them, support them. I have, I don't have a problem with that. There's just, there's just a little hesitation with me. My, my charge dealt with, with other people's money. And so I don't want folks to think that, hey, you know what I mean? And so I want to be, I want to be careful. And so how people look at me, I can't control how people in the future look at me. There's something that you put yourself in a position that there's consequences for, and you can't turn around and complain about the consequences later. And so that's just, that's just me. Now, when we do start asking for money, it'll be money for, for the ministry. I could have, I could have asked for this, people said, Hey, Cory, what's up with the merchandise? What's up with this and that? What's up with the Patreon? And the reason is, is the thing to set up that we have to have set up to where funds that come in would go to where they're going to, to the prisoners and for Bibles and stuff like that. It's not, it's not totally set up yet. And so for that reason, I don't want to start taking in money. And it's just sitting there. I want, I want to go to the point to where needs to go. Are you with me? Because I know there's one thing you might not know if I'm doing wrong. I can do a pretty good job. I could do a pretty good job of covering up sin, just like you can. But he does. God does. And I'm just, I'm sorry. You ever got beat so bad that you just knew I ain't going to do it again? Matter of fact, I'm going to make sure that nobody around me will do that again. If my kids can't do that, if you're going to commit a sin, it better not be this one. So that, that, that's where it is with me. That, that's how it is with me. And so I won't tell people with, excuse me, when to give, how to give, what, no, if, if, if it's on your heart, then amen. If not, then amen. I mentioned before, the Patreon, when it starts up, you won't get anything, there's no benefit that you'll get over the people who don't give because Bob can't give, Mary can give. And so because of that, I should give her something more. Now other folks would, I don't have a problem with that. But for me, this, you'll know what you give. You give five, you give 10, you get 50, whatever, you get the exact same thing. You'll get, you'll get what you like. How's it go? You'll get it and you'll like it. I can't say it the right way anyway. So all right, I'm sorry guys. I'm rattling on. Let me go, let me go ahead and jump into these more of these questions. Or actually start the course. I didn't get into the questions. Can you explain Esther 14-4? This just sounds like something I might have to do some time with. Esther 14-4. Esther 14-4, 14-4. Wait, what'd you say? Esther, is there an Esther 14? Let me see, wait a second. Esther 14. Okay. Do me a favor, Denise. Resubmit that. I'm not sure which verse there is no, there's no Esther 14. So, and I, and maybe you, maybe you're like me, maybe it's Esther one. I don't know. So, resubmit that Esther and I will, I will get back to you. Jeff says in John 11-16, by the way, I'm getting my, I'm picking up my new glasses today. This is the fourth, fourth time with these glasses. Fourth time with these glasses. Where are my other glasses at? These glasses were the better working glasses. These are my prison glasses. They, they used to work better, but anyway, so I'm like, I should have, you do these glasses. So, y'all forgive me, but I pick up my new glasses today. Let's see if they work. Thomas is inferring that statement because the Judeans previously tried to kill him. So, Thomas was being bold or something else may be inferred. So, let's go to John 11-16. Therefore, Thomas, who is called Didymus, said to his fellow disciples, let us also go so that we may die with him. Okay, so let's back up a little bit further. Let's go to, so we can see what's happening here. Matter of fact, it's kind of keeping, keeping in with the question I was asked earlier about what happened to, to Lazarus. And this is after, now a certain man, let's just read a certain man was sick, Lazarus the Bethan, the village of Mary and her sister Martha. It was the Mary who anointed the Lord with appointment. Now this is Jesus. Let me just move on down. This is him going to deal with or to save Lazarus and bring him back. This, he said, verse 11. He said, after that he said to them, our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep, but I ghost that I may awaken him out of his sleep. The disciples then said to him, Lord, if he has fallen asleep, well, he will recover. They're not catching on. But they thought that he was speaking of literal sleep. So, which by the way, so when they say something, they understand that things are going to be taken literal, except when the Bible refers to these folks who are asleep, this is, now you don't see that after a certain, after a certain particular dispensation, you don't see this word coming up. So those who are asleep in the grave, but it's really referring to those whose body is at rest for the time being, but not necessarily sleeping like snoring. Anyway, I don't want to belabor that point. So then Jesus said to them, plainly Lazarus is dead. He's going to wake up, won't he? You guys, Lazarus is dead. And I'm glad for your sakes that I was not there so that you may believe, but let us go to him. In other words, if he were there, if I, if I, Jesus were there, he would not have died. But I'm glad just so I can get you guys to believe. Therefore, Thomas, who was called, did and said to his fellow disciples, let us go also so that we may die with him. This is one of those, those statements, Jeff, where Thomas ain't getting it. And I'm not trying to pick on Thomas four times. We call him throughout all attorney. We call him doubting Thomas, but after a while, Thomas stopped doubting. But here's one of those cases with Thomas. Just, if you ever just been in a room with someone talking, just stop talking, just stop, stop speaking. You are not going to die with him. Now, unless, unless Thomas might understand being buried with him and dying to self, but I don't think that's what Thomas was getting to, because they just hadn't gotten that yet. They hadn't, what we know, dying to self and so forth and being there with Christ of war, what we know, they didn't know it took them a while to get it. So, pillar of grace. Yeah, I can't shut it down. There's no way that I can shut that down or what he's saying down or, or, you know, all you can do. One of the things that you can do, I'll say this though, pillar of grace is that when someone says something, sometimes, now you can respond, depending on how you respond, but also one of the things that God wants to see is how are you going to respond? How, how are you going to behave? So, okay, Denise said Esther 414. Okay, cool. Let's go to Esther 414. Oh, this is a, Esther, by the way, guys, is a wonderful book. It's the only book that was not the only book. It was one of the few books that don't actually mention God. And so, when they were decided, well, should this even be part of our canon? Should, should this be part of our Holy Scriptures? Don't even mention God in here. Well, it gained acceptance. I won't go into how it, matter of fact, there's a, there could be a long story and even debate as to why it, why Esther is included. But, wonderful story, wonderful story. Matter of fact, I'm almost wanting to give part of the, part of the sermon that I, that I gave, it's just a lot, there's a lot of scriptures to give in this sermon. But, two things. At this point right here, Mordecai has gone to, to talk to Esther. Let's start in verse 13. Mordecai told them, the reply to Esther, do not imagine that you in the king's palace can escape any more than all the Jews, for if you remain silent at this time, relief and deliverance will arise for the Jews for another place, from another place, and you and your father's house will perish. And who knows whether you have not attained royalty for such a time as this. Now, what he's saying is, it may very well be, and oh, by the way, it do be that English, but it is that you are here in this place. Why for such a time as this? The story really isn't about Esther. The story involves Esther, but it also involves the main, the main character is Mordecai. Why? Mordecai is this just man. I'm kind of getting tingly because everybody or somebody should be able to get something from what happens in the story. I would, I would relate, I would rename the book and call the book, the book of Mordecai and his niece, who he adopted, or was it his cousin? Anyway, a couple of things there. One, this guy, Haman, shouldn't even be there. Haman hates the Jews. Why does Haman hate the Jews? Well, a long time ago in the Galaxy, far, far away, not really, but a long time ago, do y'all remember this guy named, by the name of Samuel? Remember Samuel, the one that the Jews said, we want to choose a king like every other nation? We want to choose a king. And so what do they want to do? They want to choose the tall guy, the guy, you know what? Samuel probably had hair on his head. I'm pretty, I'm pretty sure he had hair on his head. And so they chose Samuel. Samuel was disobedient. One area where Samuel was disobedient, where he says to go and kill Ag-Agg, his wife, his children, all of his descendants. They're all there. Well, what happened? Well, he doesn't. Matter of fact, he leaves King Ag-Agg alive. There's even stories to say that one of his wives or his wife or a descendant got away. Well, we know either a wife, a child, a descendant, someone got away. Why? Because everybody else was killed. And then here comes Saul. And he says, wait a second, what is this right here? You've got this king still alive. Now, Saul kills him, but you did not finish the job. You did not do what you're supposed to do in totality. Why do we know that? Because if we get to Esther, what do we see? We see King Ag-Agg, who is an, I mean not King Ag-Agg, we see Heyman, who was an Ag-Agg guy. He is a descendant. He's one of these guy's relatives. Distant relatives, but still. When you don't do what you're supposed to do, there's still going to be lingering consequences, even that somebody else might have to pick up. So now Heyman, who hates the Jews, wants to deal with them. Now Esther's not known to be a Jew, but Mordecai is. Or maybe he does know that Esther is. The point is though, Mordecai is a good man, a godly man. And Heyman has designs on killing all the Jews. Heyman can't stand the fact that when he sees Mordecai doing what he sees Mordecai at the gate praying, he sees how just he is. He can't stand Mordecai because he can see it's visible that Mordecai loves the Lord. When you love the Lord, they're going to be folks who even will say that they themselves love the Lord. They can't stand the fact that you love the Lord as much as you do, and it's clear, it's visible, and that you're always getting blessed. There are folks even who name the name of Christ, though they may not be, who will hate on you your every move, everything about you, even if all you guys are a few shekels. They'll hate the fact that you got a few shekels. He shouldn't have anything. He shouldn't have anything. That's going to happen. Now, how does the story go? Heyman has devised a plot. As a matter of fact, his wife, the little hate known Heyman, his wife is in cohorts with him. Here's what. Sometimes you might and you might want to have some sympathy for the wife because hey, she's just following her man. No, his wife, this hater, his wife is just as evil. Why? She puts the plan in his head. Why don't you hang this guy? So what does Heyman do? Go to prepare these gallows for Mordecai. And so, as he's going to the door to see the king, the king is in a room where he can't sleep. The king can't sleep. What does the king do? The king asks for the chronicles, these books. Don't think that just because something in your life isn't visible, things aren't happening. Sometimes things are happening out of your purview that you can't see. I hope somebody's following this because what is the king doing? The king opens up the chronicles and reads and recounts and sees your history. Finds out that, wait a minute, this person did this, this, this, and this. What should we do about a person who's done such thing? Well, on his way to have Mordecai destroyed to plan to get him hung on these gallows, he's got this 50-foot gallows made. He wants not just to kill Mordecai, he doesn't want to hurt Mordecai. He wants to make it visible. He wants a public spectacle. Think about it for you. There's a public spectacle made for you to bring you down. The very same gallows is ultimately going to be the very same thing that's going to kill the person that's coming after you. How do I know? In the story, the king asks, well, what should we do about this man? Heyman, with his arrogant prideful self, his narcissistic self, thinking it's about him, is asked, what shall we do for a person that is honor the king in this way? Well, I think you ought to give him your signet ring, parade him on a, or put your best row on him, parade him on a horse, and parade him through town. Show him off. You're absolutely right. Good idea, Heyman. Go and do that for the man Mordecai. Can you imagine his face? He's got to now go and do something for the enemy that he has prepared to do something for. Mordecai also, meantime, has talked to his relative, Esther. Esther has been told of Mordecai's plan to go and kill the Jews. His decree has gone out to go and kill the Jews. However, we already know that God has a plan for the Jews. He's not going to let them be destroyed, no matter what Heyman thinks or doesn't think or knows or doesn't know. And so, this is where he goes to her and says, you need to say this to the king. And he says, who knows that maybe you're here for such a time as this? But understand this, God's will will be carried out with or without you. And if it's not with you, well then it can be done in spite of you. You can, you can die. You can die, but we won't. God is going to preserve his people. And so that's what this point is. And in the end, in the end, as he goes and he, and he wants to go ahead and bring his plan to the king, the queen is there speaking to the king. Heyman comes in. She says, this man wants to kill all of my people and me. All of my, he wants to destroy me and my people. The king is so furious. He, he's beside himself. You ever been so mad that you just came to speak like, you just can't get your, he leaves the room. Uh-oh. Heyman. So what does Heyman do? Begging and pleading with Esther. Grab on her. Please, please, please. And what happens? The king comes in. Are you seriously going to assault my wife now? Y'all get this, get this guy out of here before he can say a word. He's taken out and they say, what should we do? Well, there's a gallows. There's a gallows that's already prepared for somebody. You know, the guy that, the guy that saved your life, the guy Mordecai that defended you, well, there's a gallows that Heyman had prepared for him. And so what happens? Heyman gets hung on the very weapon, the very thing that more, that, that Heyman intended to kill for Mordecai. I think the book of Esther, the story that is a wonderful lesson. Sometimes that it actually is good. Just let God go ahead and do it for you. Why? Because when he does it, he does it in such a fantastic, wonderful way. And so I'm glad you brought up that question. But anyway, that's what that, I gave you the long answer. I gave you the long answer for the short question. And so what does that pass me? It's just to say to her, warn her, listen, do your job. Don't think because you got a good knees right now that is all over for you. You are here for this particular moment. And if you don't do what you're supposed to do, well, then you'll die too. We'll be all right. We'll be all right. But you, sister, sister, girl, Missy Poo, you can die. So anyway, thank you, Denise. I like the question. Thank you, Mr. I preach it. That's what I clicked. Hold on. Oh, there it is. There it is. If a believer is shy and struggles approaching people with the gospel, does that count of being? No, it's no, it doesn't. No, no, no. Because nobody likes rejection. You can, you can. Okay. Okay. You may not be the most eloquent. You may be shy. What have you? You don't have to go to a lot of different people. If your preferred method is to make a drawing to tell the goodness of the Lord. Amen. Amen. If you want to hand out treks, if you just got a friend, one friend, because the Bible didn't say how many people that you are to let somebody know, but let somebody know the best way you can do so. Moonstar and anybody else, even if you're shy, you can be shy for God. You can let people know they can see that you are a believer and it'll come out of your mouth. And so, but now at some point in time, there a little bit of the shyness has to, has to go away, but let God do that. He'll chip away with it just as often as you can, even as quietly as you can, or as innocent as you can, or as meekly as you can, you give thanks to the Lord and someone's going to see it. And then there's going to be a little bit of baldness. It's going to pick up the closer, the more you get into his word, the more excited you get about it. You'll be surprised how he just starts speaking, just eating out. Moses says, Lord, I got a, I got a old, slow, thick tongue, Lord. I'm not eloquent in speaking. And then, so what happens? What happens? Well, hey, God, I got an idea. How about, let's get somebody else. Fine. Take Aaron. Who ends up doing most of the speaking? Moses or Aaron? Moses does. Well, wait a second, Moses. I thought you had that old, slow, thick dragon tongue. I don't know, Lord, something just come over me. Yeah, I know. I made your tongue. So just you keep doing you. You, you, I promise you, you will be fine. You will be fine. Amen. Oh, by the way, by the way, by the way, by the way, let me just say this, let me just say this. While YouTube, Facebook, and so forth, hello, Mr. Guy with a hair. I don't know why I like seeing it kind of red. But while YouTube and Facebook and twist, I'll set Twister Twitter, maybe that should be the name Twister. I'm going to go on Twitter today for the third time ever. I've only been here twice. I got an account and I've been on here a second time and had no idea what was happening because I'm used to YouTube, I guess. But anyway, it can be a cesspool. It can be all these different things, but you can use it for your advantage, your advantage. So you go in these chats, whatever, and just type in, I love the Lord or what have you, or you can go to a secular channel that piques your interest and speak about Jesus. Amen. Somebody else might, somebody else will get that too. Thank you, Sheila. I appreciate that. Thank you so much. God bless you. Let's see. Tatum. What has happened nowadays? People have these last names, the first names. That's cool. That's a cool name. That's a cool name. But we used to have that back in the day. Why are there mimes in churches, specifically in the Church of God and Christ, related churches? I don't know. Honestly, I don't know. I'm thinking about it. When I was in it, we did have mimes. We actually did. I don't know what that is. I guess that's just men who want to be praise dancers who they can't, because you look a little weird if you up there doing a praise dance. If you're a guy in church doing praise dancing, I can promise you, and I might be guilty of it, we're going to look at you kind of funny. What is this? Where's his daddy yet? Maybe that's because most of the mimes are males, so maybe that's them. Honestly, I don't personally, it can get out of hand. I don't necessarily have a problem with it, but it can get out of hand. I don't know. I wish I knew the answer. Matter of fact, let's ask Lisa. Lisa, do you know why? Maybe Lisa knows. You know what? Let's ask Sir Walter Jones. Let's ask Sir Walter Jones. Would you say, what setup do you use for the camera that makes sure you don't have a logo from a brand on the screen? Oh, you mean why there's no logo on the screen right now? I don't know. Okay, you're asking tech questions. I don't know. I know on an uploaded video that it's going to show, I don't know. I don't think matter of fact, I know. So yeah, I don't think on the live stream it does now. After the live stream has been processed, I don't know if the watermark shows up or not. I'm not sure. You asked the wrong person. That's all I can say. You asked the wrong person. I have no idea. Can I tell you this true story? Before today, I'm sitting there ready to go. I'm literally sitting here at the desk ready to go. Something is wrong. Something is godly wrong. Something is just off. I've got to figure out what is wrong and dawn on me. That camera's not on. You got to turn that. You may not know anything about live streaming, but you at least know that that camera right there I'm looking into has to be turned on. It was not on. I was like, okay, you dummy. So you asked the wrong person. You asked the wrong person. Jordan says, again, everybody wants to name their kids with these last names. By the way, I've ventured. I would venture to guess, Jordan. I don't know, but I'd venture to guess that you are probably born after the 80s. I'm gonna venture to guess you were born probably born after 80s. You know how many kids Michael Jordan is responsible for having their name? Same thing with Peyton Manning. How many Peyton's do you know now? Anyway, can you explain Revelation 320? Some people use this verse to say the Holy Spirit is a gentleman which he is not right. No, he's not a gentleman. He's God. He will kill you. Ask Ananias as a fireman. Wasn't very gentlemanly of you to kill us, Mr. Holy Spirit, which is not. If that's the case, then is this holy? Is this only addressing address? Let us see. So let's go to you asking me a difficult question. Revelation 320. Behold, I stand at the door and knock if anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come to him and will dine with him and he with me. Now, this is this is for everybody. How do I know? Just grammatically speaking. Behold, I stand at the door and knock if anyone it says here over here. Let's get let's let's do some Greek for a second. Here it says Eon Tease, which is if anyone this word Tease is a certain person, whomever. This is sometimes you'll see a tea somewhere and it'll say and it may translate in English, whoever. So whoever it is that knocks person that's knocking that person. Well, that's universally applied. So that that does apply to everybody. So yes, Jordan, this is not just a church of laity. This is for everybody. Amen. What I just do. Okay. All righty. Uh oh, I'm not sure what this passage is about. Well, I haven't done what it's about because I know what chapter this is in. So let's go see what matrix I think matrix is starting some trouble here. Matrix seven, matrix seven. First Corinthians. Stop talking. I just typed your name into the verse. It's not not matrix. It's first Corinthians first Corinthians seven starting at 33. But one who is married is concerned about the things of the world how he may please his wife and his interests are divided. The woman who was unmarried and the virgin is concerned about the things of the Lord that she may be holy both in the Lord be both in body and in spirit, but one who is married is concerned about the things of the world how she may please her husband. This I say for your own benefit, not to put a restraint upon you, but to promote what is appropriate and secure. I'm sorry, and to secure undistracted devotion to the Lord. Now put this up right here. This part right here where it says that is appropriate. Disregard that word appropriate because it might give you the wrong connotation. Look underneath my name and look at the definition of it. It is someone that's respected, presentable, graceful. In other words, don't get that unless you do so you're not appropriate. It's or that the other way would be inappropriate. Okay. It is okay if you are single to stay single. Being single, you can devote more of your time to God. It's also okay to not be single to marry. Now when I say not be single, I mean not be single because you with this guy, that guy, that guy, this girl, this girl, this, no. Why? Well, yes, you're going to have divided allegiances, so to speak. I don't mean allegiances, but yeah, there's going to be times when you got to deal with your husband and then kids. Well, who created that? God did. So he's not, God did not cut off his nose by his face. He's not, God is not hamstrung himself. Why is that? Well, the husband or the man who goes out and he serves the Lord and he's by himself. What must he do? He's got to eat. He's got to drink. He's got to bathe. Hopefully ladies, he bathes. He's got to work. So he's going to take some time away from doing those things anyway. Well, the two come together and so you two together can do the exact same thing, but even better and even more efficiently and more of an effect because you've got two doing what one can do. You've got one good, one good strong horse or you've got two good decent horses pulling. I'll take the two good decent horses over the one super strong horse any day of the week. And so this is not to say that you should not get married or anything like that. This is, this is Paul saying, this Paul, hey, if you can be by yourself with an amen, some people don't have that ministry. Some people don't have that ability. So, hey man, what am I doing? Why is this? I'm pushing the buttons. You go a different way. What does you take on people saying that Yeshua not being equal with God? When people say he is part of the Godhead, but when someone says that they don't know their Bible, Jesus is, I mean, the Bible literally says he is equal with God, did not consider it a robbery to be considered equal with God. And so he not only is equal with God, he is God. And even though he comes in a form lower than than angels for this time being for his earthly ministry, Thomas, we picked on earlier, rightly calls him God. And Jesus didn't bat an eye. He didn't say, no, you got it wrong, Thomas. This is who I am. Oh, the, I said, you're asking about, okay, special. That's a cool, that's a cool YouTube name. Here it is put on the screen. Where is it right here? So go ahead and take a snapshot of that. And by the way, that is going to come in super handy. We're going to, we're going to actually use that this afternoon in a few hours when we do the deal in prophecy and prophets. And I'm going to make a statement and I'm like, wait a second, Corey said that. And then I'll give it. Oh, okay. That's what he meant. So it also comes in handy when we're doing the Bible study, but also comes in handy with the, just going through the Bible. As a matter of fact, if you haven't seen the Old Testament, maybe you haven't seen the New Testament, let me put the New Testament timeline up as well. And so there you have that. So take a screenshot of that. Use that as you're studying the scriptures from now throughout eternity. Okay, let's move. Corey, let's move. Let's move. Why do I have to move? Because Chess Champ gets bothered. He doesn't get bothered, but he's like, Corey, move fast, move fast, get them. You know what I wonder? I don't, Chess Champ would be a good drill sergeant. He just, he just, he just would. He would be a good drill sergeant, good guy, but he'd be a good drill sergeant. Anyway, okay. I'm okay for claiming my nationality as an Israelite. Why would you do that? If you want to claim, and I've never understood what people who would, would speak, not, not you, but what, where you want to claim your identity is in the Lord. If, let's just say, I don't know if you are not, let's just say you really are Jewish, you really are Israelite. Okay. Now what? What's happening now is God's attention and affinity for Israel is to put them on the back burner. This spirit of stupor is over them. That's what God is doing. Now he would call, and he is calling for all the people to come to him. And so if you know that, then do so because Israel is, is being hurt right now. They have turned their back, which is what he promised how they would do. And they're going to make an alliance with that lawless man. And then so, so make sure that you put your focus on Jesus. Whether you're Jew or Gentile, that's the whole goal. The whole goal is to run to him. Place your, you can see the error of Israel's way and then learn from it. So I don't know if you're actually, you're an actual Israelite, you're an actual Jew or not. But what good does that do? As a matter of fact, let's read Romans, Paul says, well, what benefit, the only benefit is that you've been given the oracles and so forth. But unless you place your faith in Christ, it doesn't matter. So place your faith in Jesus as, as your Messiah, then you're good. And then what happens then is you don't even focus on Israel anymore. You know how I know, you know how I know, because Paul did. Amen. What is the best argument I get? You know, maybe I ought to start doing more apologetic stuff, because I can't tell you how often this happened in my, in my federal tour. There's always somebody coming up against Jesus, either be atheists or a Muslim or someone else. The best answer for all of them is this, well, the best logical answer. The best answer there is no, there is the best answer is beyond me to give them. This is as a result of God. There are some people that God has said, you know what, you'll be what you are. And so who does God choose to change their heart? That's on him. But in terms of giving an answer, and it also helps the believer who happens to be there, the best answer is give me one. This is mine for me. The reason why I can trust that Christianity is true is because of all of the religious books and all of the non-religious books on the planet. There's only one, one where it has predicted prophecy that has come true, where all of his prophecies have come true, save those regarding his end time coming. But everything else is true. Give me another book that can make that claim. Give me another book that has, that can accurately give me one predicted prophecy that's come true. Not something like Notre Dame something that's halfway made up and you got to kind of tilt your head and squint your eyes and stand on one foot and get you a metal antenna to get that reception. No, that no, because his prophecies are so vague and weird. He had four stuff in there, but not the Bible. Go look at the Bible's prophecy on Greek, Greece, on Alexander the Great. His, I do like this for a reason. You all couldn't see what I was doing. That was stupid on my part. But what I was doing was seeing how his kingdom was cut up in four pieces. That was the four pieces. See one, two, three, four. Anyway, and how it was going to happen in that know what nobody that's related to him would inherit it. So, or what he said about Israel, or what he stated about crisis, his coming, his living and his death. That's where I would go to. And so if that book that contains these prophecies, no, by the way, these prophecies are all throughout from old to new are all throughout. It's this one collective that's woven together by God. Only God can do that. And so if you're looking for some proof, there it is. That's my take. But then also just historically speaking, what happened on the day? What happened on that first Easter, so to speak? What happened? Remember, this happens in a place where it's hostile. It's not good to be a Christian. It's not safe to be a Christian. But they were willing to die just because of that. They were willing to to go through it. I'm dying. I don't care what you think. And they didn't have they didn't have, you know, easy ways of killing. You know, you died pretty horribly. They might stone you that last stone that takes you out. All right, that one didn't hurt as much. Those first 10 or 20 hit you. Or the beatings or the crucifixions or the being fed to the tiger or tiger lions being burned. We're still going. How is that? You'll die for a you might die for an unknown lie, but a known lie. Yeah, that that's the part. Amen. Chayun cat always gives. Hey, you want to know something? I never I never looked at your your icon, your picture. That's a cat. Wow. I never noticed that. I never noticed that. But I like the words just but this one never feels good. This I know my this one never felt good. I hated it, but I love it now. What I went through my discipline. Best thing ever. Would I do it again? No, but I wouldn't trade it for the world. And right below that comment is did you ever repent for the federal charges that are behind you? I think I know the answer, but I want to hear you. Yeah, because someone says, well, I never did you ever hear Corey repent? Huh? Let me just say this. How warped do you have to be to say that or think that the person is not repenting because you didn't hear the repentance? Were you there? Were you there? Wow. Yeah. So I guess the way to do it. I repent of all my evil. I repent of my of my cheating, my stealing, my black. I repeat it. I repent of all of that. Now, because I said it publicly. How do you know I did? You know how you can know. You know how you can know. Just follow me. Ask my wife. Ask my kids. Have you all noticed that from time to time, you'll see guys pop up in this live stream chat that know me and knew me. I think the best witness that you could ever get from somebody is somebody that knows you before doing it after your fall or those that when you fail, like, yeah, this guy, yeah. And so question is, before someone told you, I wasn't, did it seem like I was? Not you. I know. I know where you're saying it. And so don't copyright that, senior Conrad. That's my word, twister. But I believe so. I believe I've repented. You know how I know, but how do you know? How could anyone know that they've repented? Well, it's not the, hey, I don't send anymore. It's the attitude about it. It's not the, man, I'm not, I'm this, I'm that. It's not the beating chest to chest out that how great I am and so forth. He says too late court. It's not that that's how I don't know you're repented because you because you got this mouth because you say that you want to point people that remember the, the, the Pharisee and the tax collector. I think God, I'm not like that tax collector. And God will say you're absolutely right. You ain't, you ain't lying. You're not like that tax collector. You, you, as we say, you show right. You are not like that tax collector. This man has humbled himself, recognizing how bad he is or was, but guess where he'll be? You can guess where you won't be. So for me, everything I've been in the past, bothers me to this day, bothers me to this day. But all you have to do in spite, because you know, the person that I, that I send against the most was God. Do you know who I send against? Second most, that woman, my wife, charade. Do you know where she is right now? Well, not right now, across the hallway. Yeah. Yeah. That woman sees that I'm repentant. He does and she does. I'm good. By the way, even the Bureau of Prisons saw that. Even the Bureau of Prisons saw that. No, no issues in this past model, model inmate, which you, you don't really want to have to ever have to say that. Yeah, I was a model inmate, which meant you have to have been an inmate of your children. Well, the only thing, the only thing about that, senior Conrad, is, you know, you can go, you can go shoot the president. You can go, you can go blow some of them. You can go, I shouldn't be saying these words. He's probably worse at get, get YouTube in here, but you can do all kinds of things. You could be, I don't know if Hitler had any kids, but I'm pretty sure they were proud of that's my, that's my daddy. That's my daddy. What's, what's the guy's name? The terrorist been lying. His children, his children were proud of him. That's my daddy doing terrorist stuff. Get them daddy. The kids, they'll do whatever, right? But that woman, yeah, you better do something real good to get hurt, you know. So, but I'm not in the, I'm not in the habit of saying, show me you repented, but I have, I think I have. Yeah, but what about this 10 years ago? What about this with me? Literally 20 years, literally 20 years ago, 19 years ago, so to speak. What about this 30 years? What about this 40 years? What about this two, two, two years ago? Yeah, I know I apologize and you accept my apology, but still, what about it? All right. Okay. So I'll leave that to someone else. Let me, MC's been asked this question. Can objects have evil spirits attached to them? No, no. Now, can a demonic force use an object? Yes. Demonic, the enemy wants to use any and everything at their disposal. Use any and everything at their disposal. You're a Christian. This person ain't. Let me deal with this person. Have this person come to you, right? Let me, let me just set up for you, for you single people. You're doing your best to be godly. You are, let me just, I want to read my Bible and here you are reading your Bible and then here comes some, you ladies, some, some good looking bald guy walks up and hey baby, right? And you're like, I'm trying to read my word. How are you? And he says in the, he says in a, in a nice voice, I'm fine. Was that you're reading? And so ultimately his goal is to distract you and may say some things that the enemy has heard you say. What the enemy can do, listen, the enemy hadn't been in the future, but the enemy has been in the past. And so you told somebody something, whatever they heard, they heard it. And so, so the enemy has someone to repeat someone, something that you said, wow, that must be the Lord. That must be, wow, God must have sent him and look, he smells good. He looks good. And, and he goes to church and he's, well, no, no, that guy's, that guy's got hair coming to find him, come to find out, come to find out. He actually got hair on his head. I can see the hair, but that, but, but he's got hair on his head because bald men don't do that. Well, I think I was going to take it back. Bald men are bad too. Lord, I know that for a fact. Stop hating senior Conrad. All you got to do is go to the barber, get you, get you a shade, get you a razor. Stop with the Haiti, sir. But an actual object, no, no, they, they can't occupy a rock or a stone or a hammer. No, but those things can be used. But sometimes, can we be honest also, sometimes these objects or these things that keep tripping us up, it's not the enemy. It's not a demonic spirit. It's just us. Yeah. This phone is not demonic, although it can do, it can be used demonically, but you going and checking out porn, that's not the enemy. That's you. That, that ain't the enemy taking over the phone. That's, that's, let me just check and see something, right? So, and we'll see if I can add, let me mark this. Let me go back and finish answering these questions. I'm behind. Okay. Thank you, by the way, for super chat. Based on where you are at with the Saturday Bible study, what is the eschatology of the Jews at that time? Well, there is none at that time. All we know, all God has stated for them in the end, his, his end times, though they don't know it and had been really fully vetted, fleshed out yet, is that he is going to bring them back into the land so far. So far, all he has stated is that I'm going to bring you back into the land and then fix your heart. You'll, you'll sojourn and go amongst bad people. But in the meantime, they're here in the land. So they don't even fully understand. They don't know, wait a second, you told us about getting put out of the land. We're in the land enjoying it, but he also tells them in numbers and dude around me, don't have those strangers in there and what do they do? They leave them in there. They leave them in there, except my main, my main man, Caleb, whose name means dog, except for him, he goes and drives the Giants out. Everybody else? Caleb, this is how you know. This is how you know, by the way, Caleb is not a cowboy, Dallas Cowboy. He didn't like the Cowboys. You know, I know because he had, he got victory over the Giants. I couldn't resist. I could, I couldn't resist. Let me do this because this is gonna bother somebody. What's going on, bro? By the way, I saw the picture of you with, with your baby on the laptop. Yeah. Let me give you some tips, Chris. Let me give you some tips. Ask cute right now. That ain't practical. Put that, that was cute though. That was cute was little baby Micah, but and I know, I know, I've, I've, see I've mastered how to deal with babies. First step gets you a teenage girl. Well, I, you know what that, that was wrong. I said that if you have a teenage daughter like myself or, or a 11 year old granddaughter, that works. That works. Yeah, huh, Chris. You're working on a video together. Okay. Exposed video. My, so my granddaughter, when Mike, when, when, when the grand, the grandsons are, Cory just turned one and I, oh, I got it. I'm gonna show you all the video of him. When you all see how God has blessed this young boy and then three, his big brother, when they're over here, I need to have my granddaughters. They are 11 or 12 and then eight good babysitters. And if not, then I've got this 16, 17 year old, oh, she's 17 Lord helped me. And I got to take her this weekend to practice driving, but that's good help. And they can't say no. They can't say no. So that's what you got to do. Find you. I don't know if you got any siblings or your wife does or somebody, you know, the best thing ever, then you get a little barricade to put them somewhere, get the little soft floor, the little soft floor, the little cushion floor, put the barricade around them. That baby can't roll off that floor. I'm getting, listen, I'm giving you the game. I'm trying to help you out. I'm trying to help you out. So anyway, thank you, Jeff. I appreciate that. I appreciate that. Thank you so much, sir. What is the best proof that Jesus is God? I already believed this. Well, you're not going to be able to prove it to him because it's not on you. And let me just say this, as we're getting ready to move out, I'll take a few more questions, but as we're getting ready to move out, you cannot make a person, you cannot convince a person against their will. You can offer the best set of proofs. You really can, but a person who's just dead set against being proven anything. I told you guys about a guy, good brother. He went from being a, he was a oneness apostolic who believed that you can lose your salvation, but he was a good brother, good brother. But there were some things that he was still working out. Because yeah, guess what guys? People can be in these groups and they still be saved, but they don't fully get it yet. Cause we're not saved by what we're known. We're saved by who we know. And so I'm sharing with him, this is how I know, this is why I say for a fact that you cannot be saved a day and then lose it. No, I, he was, he was angry and upset. I don't care what you show them. I'm not going to believe you. All right. I showed it to him and he, he disagreed. Well, a couple of years later, he's like, man, yeah, that was, that was awesome. That was, that was the truth right there. I'm preaching that now. I mean, but it wasn't me. This was the Lord working in him later. And so one plants, one waters, but I'll give you a passage though. Let's go to a famous passage. John one, let's just, let's just dust off the Greek chops for a second. In the beginning was the word, the word with God and the word was God. And the reason why it's written this way, what it is stating is we have what's called a, I was about to say a Hebrew word, a Hebrew term. No, this is the Greek query. What we have is a predicate nominative in this case, a preverbal predicate nominative, an arthurus, which means there's no, there, which is this word right here, God. You have two nouns here. You have the word and you have God. The question is, which one is the subject and which one is the predicate nominative? Now I understand predicate nominative. I'm not in English anymore, but this is why your English teacher told you, Miss Crabapple said, listen, pay attention. You're going to use this one day. Well, here in the Bible, you're going to use it. A predicate nominative determines or, or, or describes what something either belongs to the category of the class. The subject, we already know what the subject is. Well, in this case, what's, what's the subject of John one, one, the subject is word. How do we know? Because by the rules of Greek, it's the first noun. The first noun is not in the beginning, halagos. So there it is. The first noun is the subject, which is halagos. So that would necessarily mean that would make the word Phaeon, in this case, time Phaeon or Phaeos, whether it, whether it has the definite article or it's an arthurist, which means that that definite article, it takes the role of the predicate nominative. And what is the predicate nominative do describes what, in this case, what the, the subject is. So the word, which is a subject is described as what God, that's just the rules of Greek nominative. They, he won't take that. He, I'm, I'm pretty sure it's not right now. And so my prayer is that the young fellow is just going through and just figuring things out. And then one day we'll turn around and say, you know what, I was just dumb and thinking that I was just, I was just, I don't know what I was thinking. So all right, let me take one more and we are going to do this. And we're going to do this again on Sunday. We'll figure out a time. We'll figure out a time on Sunday to do this. I got to let my wife know that, hey, guess what? Look at that. That is funny. Listen, let me just say this. Let me just say this. I ain't bragging, but I'm going to say it anyway. It wouldn't be close. I'm going to go out on a limb and say it. Listen, I, listen, there's a, there's a difference in size and strength and, and listen, that's funny. But no, I wouldn't even take, I wouldn't even take it up. That's funny. That's, um, I should have said that, huh? I shouldn't have said that. But listen, one thing I can do, I'm kidding. I shouldn't say that. I shouldn't say that. I shouldn't say that. But he came with me. Stop it, Corey. Stop it. Oh, he wants, yeah, he wants to. Well, no, you know, he'll say he wants to. He'll say he wants to. He'll say he wants to. You didn't, you didn't throw me off. You didn't throw me off. Me versus young Don. Young Don is young. Young Don is young. But can I tell you, okay, let me, let, oh, hold on. Let me just brag about something real quick. What I, what I used to do because I knew, see, I was, all of my friends growing up, they were always bigger. And I'm talking like, like, these are big dudes, like offensive linemen, defensive linemen, big dudes, right? 6364, 270, 280, 290, right? And, um, even, and even just, just, just lying, like my other buddy was a linebacker. And so what I used to do, I used to wrestle. The reason why I used to wrestle is because this is just me. By the way, I would recommend that anyone, even at your age, learn some, learn some self-defense and some wrestling. So for why? Because I can promise you this, most people can't box. Most people can't box. Most people can't box that little form they got. And this, this, this is true of anybody. Most folks, like you can sit and read your Bible and spar with somebody when you give somebody the form, the gracefulness, the knowledge you had tends to kind of go away because of the heat of the moment. But if, but everyone ends up grabbing. So my thought was, if I can grab, if I get ahold of you, well, then yeah, I'll get a, if I get ahold of you, I'm gonna break your arm. That was my, that was my intent. If we got into it. And so when I got to prison, here I am, I have no gold teeth. I have no tattoos. I'm not sagging. I don't, you know, I don't, I don't carry myself like I'm from the streets. And so what's the first thing will happen? Everybody wants to try me. That's, that's just how it is. And I would, I would do little things, you know, you got a friend here who's talking trash. So you just grab him, just, just, you know, put a little, a little rest and move on. And so one day there was a guy named 50 because he looked like 50 cent and 50 is about six, two, six, about six, two, but, but he was cut up. And now I don't know if I could beat up six, 50. I don't know. I have no idea. 50 was a big boy. 50 was a big strong boy. And he grabbed me and he grabbed me in the way. Well, okay, I just, I sat down or sat out, I should say, I sat out, but I sat out and a lot of wrestling is just leverage. And so I sat out, got behind him and I looked good that day. I don't know if I could, if I could take 50, 50 was about 10 years young. Well, he's still 10 years younger than me, unless he's gotten killed. So, but I don't think, but, but if you put on one or two demonstrations in prison, it helps you out. It helps you out that way. Oh man. So I told that story everywhere. I went everywhere. I'm like, yeah, that's what I did to 50. So, and I haven't, I haven't gotten into a fighting in a, in a good while. Amen. I don't need to do any, you know, kind of fighting. You know, I'm not, that's not, you know, listen, I don't have to, I don't want to. I can, I can talk myself out of a fight. I can walk away from a fight. I don't, I'm not trying to get into it with anybody physically, unless you have to, you know, so, but, so I'm cool with walking away. You call my mom or what? Okay. All right. Maybe, maybe she is. Maybe she was. My daddy's a, okay. That was funny. Who, what? All right. So, what I, now the only place I talk trash at, as we get ready to go, the only place that I will talk trash, the only place is on the way, we call the wait pile or on the, or working out. I will talk trash and call y'all. Yeah. Cause it's just a kind of get you going. They, they talk trash usually help motivate you and so forth. There's a guy on YouTube, Eric Moldrow, and Eric always liked to show off his little working out stuff and show his arms off and so I'm gonna call him talk. Hey man, listen, look at that pull up you're doing. Just talking trash, right? That's the only way. But if a, if a fight break out, I'm gonna go over here and sit down. I'm gonna move over here and sit down, let somebody else young or dumb or handle it because you can't beat up everybody. You might, you do all the talking, you get whooped, the guy that doesn't get whooped, this guy doesn't fight. That's gonna be me. Nine, nine times out of 10, that is going to be me. Got to, again, what's the old saying? I'm not as good as I once was, but I'm good once, but now if some multiple guys are coming and I'm gonna do, I'm gonna do a video over this too guys. I'm gonna do a video over this about guns in America and we'll leave on this. But Corey, you are a convicted felon. How can you have a gun? Huh. There have been some court cases that have come out that have stated that is unconstitutional for you to deprive these felons, especially the non, particularly non-violent felons, of the right to, there's still citizens and the Constitutionist says that the people, it didn't say which people and so I think that'll be a lie. It won't be on this channel, it'll be on the other channel. And so I'll have, I'll try, I'm trying to get me some, some guests to come on there and we can have this kind of, this kind of discussion just about talking with people and about, I'm not talking to people about protecting yourself. Is it, is it good? Is it godly? Is it okay for Christians to have guns and, and so forth, which by the way I think it is. But the one case, the fifth circuit case, which is this circuit that I'm in, the main one is a third circuit case. And when you have a split in circuits, it necessarily, at some point in time, it's going to the Supreme Court. So, yeah. But where's Roshan at? I've been trying to get Roshan a show to put up his fighting videos. Y'all don't know Roshan, Roshan is a boxer. Roshan the moderator, he's a boxer. So if somebody want to do something, then I'm just getting Roshan and he's younger too. Go handle your business Roshan. So anyway, all right guys, I've got to run. I gotta do a few things before we get ready for this. Thank you. Thank you. I appreciate that. And listen, I love Kentucky. I do not love the Kentucky Wildcats. Wanna why? From Indiana. And that little border war. I don't like your basketball team. Your football team is okay. Same thing with Louisville. Love you too though. Guys, in the meantime, thank you. This has been fun hour and a half. We're going to do this again on Sunday. I'm going to, I'm going to submit the thumbnail first, so that on the community section, so that you guys can say me, I'm in Cincinnati. But that's funny. I'll submit the little thumbnail so that you guys can submit your questions first. I'll try to go as fast as I can faster. But you know how it is. I'll never get through all the questions, but it gives us a reason to come back and fellowship again. In the meantime, guys, be blessed. I will see you later on this evening. Bye-bye.
