 Wonderful I had me a little nap today and on top of that coffee. So I am Raring that raring raring. I'm ready to go. I don't know if I'm saying it right raring raring and ready to go I don't know. I'm ready to go. I'm ready to go. So hope you all are doing well one spider monkey you asked me about covering the issue of a tetragrammaton I'm not going to do it today because I'm going to do a video over that in the next day So as a matter of fact, there's there's I want to just cover what God has said to call him and What does that mean for us? There's a little bit more nuance to it And so I didn't want to just give an answer During this doing this Q&A. By the way, this Q&A people ask You can ask whatever you want to ask. This is just I guess I called to ask me anything Bible related it can be it can be a sports related it can be Politics it can be whatever. I've seen a couple questions already About what was the best day of my life or worse in my life? When did when did Or how to meet my wife meet? Incidentally It was the best day of her life just just be honest just be just be honest about it It was it was the best day of her life When I talked to her about it. She's she just smiles. She she bubbles and she giggles because Just for her to relive that Just for her to relive the day that she met me. It just it brings Smiles and tears you ever had seen in one of those Moments where you just cry and laugh at the same time. She's just overcome with joy Yeah, so when I bring up how she met me Yeah I wouldn't be lying if I said that that television show how I met your mother was um inspired by I'm kidding. I'm kidding I'm kidding Uh, it was actually kind of fun. Did I did I see the Yeah, you know what? Let me let me mark some of these by the way. Let me mark some of these questions as I'm going I'm sorry. I'm not even I'm I'm being silly and I'm not marking some of these questions as we're going So let me mark some of these questions because I could probably mark the questions While I'm giving the answer If you saw me and her on the day that we met You would probably conclude that one of them ain't safe One of those two are not safe. Now. We were really really young We were at we were in college at uh at texas tech And matter of fact what happened was I had just I had just moved off campus. I was staying with with a buddy of mine And I hadn't gotten I didn't have a car And so I'd gotten used to the the bus line going to the campus But I was wrong on the bus line how it you know how it went and so I missed I missed the first bus I missed the first bus and so I got to my class. I was late for my class. It was easy You know, sometimes you have in college some of these easy classes You're gonna want to schedule some easy classes. So this was a Some kind of music class a music appreciation kind of class and so And so that's what it was. It was really a easy a Um, and what happened was I was late. So I didn't go. Yeah, you know, no, no worries. I'm getting an a in it already um I'm getting an a in it already. Well, thank you. Um, uh Is it i victor or victor? Okay I see the two brackets in between. So maybe it's just victor. Thank you. I appreciate that but She came in and she actually had got on her mind She was pushing a friend of ours who ended up becoming friend of ours In her wheelchair And they were passing out tracks they were passing out tracks and I saw matter of fact, I wasn't even I wasn't speaking to her first There was a buddy of mine who was with me. I don't even remember guys. I just something just some college acquaintance And he was checking her out and I was checking her out and he said something. I said well go talk to her Go go go talk to her Uh, he's and I'm trying to push him. I said you big chicken. You big chicken And he said well you go talk to her. Well if I if I call him a chicken for not going to talk to her I could I could not go talk to her Plus How could she resist? And so I walked up to her. Um, again, they were passing our christian tracks. I was checking her out. Um Because I like what she was wearing I like how she looked in it. How about that? And so Um, I can't even remember what I said. I have no idea what was the first words that came out of my mouth Um But whatever it was she was mesmerized. You know how I know she was mesmerized Because I still have her that's how I know she was mesmerized. That's right Yeah I don't need you guys to hate the game. We don't hate the player Anyway, um She thought that I was some kind of something at first And she was just being nice. No, I didn't have a gerry good. Just ask me that. No, I didn't have a gerry curl No, I had hair though. I had hair Um, because what was I? I don't know 1920 I don't remember how old I was uh But No, no, I didn't I didn't have one. No, no, I had a flat. No, it wasn't a flat top. No, I had a I had a regular haircut It was it was short on top No one of what is one of the funny little hair cuts Uh, just fade on the side and that was it I dressed I dressed like a regular because my father raised me in a certain way that I I'm not going to bring attention to myself with my hair or my clothes. And so that was never really me so But anyway, um At that point in time. I actually did cuss. I did cuss and she didn't like that But I must have cussed so smooth that it got it. It was okay, right? So anyway, um I again I I ought to ask her what did I say? I don't even know if she can remember what I what I said in the very beginning I have I have no idea what I said. We sort of hit it off She dumped me a couple of times And then she felt bad. She knew the lord was not pleased with her And so here I am today, you know, my wife did today Can I tell you what this woman did today and I call her woman? I call her woman. Um She she made some kind of lunch for her to take to work. She's a teacher And um I said woman make me make me an egg and bacon sandwich. I was just joking I was just joking. I I went back to the room and I'm what is that? What is that smell from heaven? It was bacon. I said baby, I was just joking I was just joking and she Man made me two. I'm only eight one. You know, how that's my favorite breakfast egg and bacon sandwich and so So, uh, I married a good one married a good one. So anyway, that that's our story But anyway, if you guys again ask whatever questions you want to ask, uh, bake. Yeah, they they can be Moderately personal, I guess, um, whatever you want to ask. It's okay. Uh, bible political personal Colts related sports, whatever you want. It's okay. All right, so by the way, I just I can't tell you what it was But I saw a hilarious video before I came on. I mean, absolutely hilarious I want to share it so bad, but I can't I can't but it was so funny. God. I'm so funny Oh, anyway, um Oh, let's see. We're gonna have to we're gonna have to ban Byron You have to ban byron your hater. I see no problem. No problem. No problem But make sure as monkey moves say I put a big gigantic cube or question in front of that And uh, I will get to it Does does the tide it still exists today? Does the tide still exist today? Well, I mean technically, yes I mean people ask for the tide all the time and the tide all it means is a is 10 percent Biblically speaking the tide was there's different ways that the tide was used and depending on how you add it up Someone will come up with with a calculation of 22 percent that Jews gave And was it always monetary? Well, first of all, for the most part, it was going to be Um, not monetary but off of what you produce the reason being that it could be monetary Don't let folks say that it could not be monetary because it could the issue is Because most people did not earn actual coins And so if you're going to bring in a tide to keep to Provide for the storehouse or to provide for the levitical priesthood Everyone didn't have a job where they got paid money like that And so it could be off anything and then yes, Abraham gave a tie But he was not required to give a tie. He did so Uh, to Melchizedek now does the tide is it still in effect today? No, it's not Um in terms of the requirement to do so, here's the reason why because the tide was meant to for the most part to give to And to support the the priesthood. There is no levitical priesthood for us to support Now are we required to give we are required to give we now doesn't say how much However, you feel like God has blessed you and how he's moving you to do so well then give give as he has given to you Now you cannot give In comparison or in proportion to how he's how he's given you you'd go broke You'd have no money because you could not you cannot now. Don't let folks kind of You know get over on you, you know give till it hurts Um give and it should be given to you press down shaking together and no don't don't no No, just give give cheerfully when you get to the point to where you cannot give anymore Without smiling you you cross the line the threshold from from it being a cheerful Gift to a grudging gift I don't I was good with 50 dollars But 52 dollars that's a little I don't know because I got well then don't give 52 dollars give the 50 If with the 50 you give you can smile or the 20 you give or the thousand whatever you give I don't know it there's from person to person You're just going to give out of the love of your heart And if it calls you to frown then keep it God doesn't need your money So whatever you give give And then what you don't do is you don't also give because you're trying to figure out What are they going to do the right thing with the money? That's not for you to decide It's not for you to worry about you give and you let God deal with that Because when you give when you bring an offering You are doing so to speak highly of who you're giving it to or on behalf of who you're giving it to Are you with me you give to a place that is that has been a blessing When you go to you don't you don't give money to a restaurant or keep frequenting a restaurant or a grocery store that has bad Produce and it's bad food. No, you'll find a good place to go to and you'll spend whatever Eggs or what 47 dollars a carton now You'll spend because you like eggs milk is whatever it is Bread is whatever it is and so forth and so you'll spend it and when you spend it You know what you're saying whenever you give money to I don't care if it's for food for groceries for your electric bill your card note When you give you are speaking highly about who you give it to You are saying that I owe you this or I appreciate what you're doing. Well when you give Um for the lord or to a ministry you're saying not so much for the ministry But because of the lord but on behalf of this ministry who I value what you're doing So but no there is no there is no tithe for you to go out and to and to pay by the way as always as always We're not going to be able to cover all of these questions Okay, so just let you guys know we're not going to be able to cover all of these questions Maybe well, no, we're not no, I was going to try to say Maybe we can we can get into uh do it again later Problem is though, there's a lot of stuff that I got coming out one next week And so I'm not sure if Um if we'll be able to to do another q&a at least two next week, maybe who knows Uh, why does the church make you feel guilty when it's not 10% if a church does that then leave that church They they they know better. I I'm sorry. I shouldn't say that. Let me let me backtrack that Don't leave the church for making you feel guilty because sometimes the church is just under pressure Churches can over sometimes people that run churches aren't the best or the most financially astute Um, but I believe this I'll never I never get saying this to our church before as one of the Believes at the church. I said God whatever money we're bringing in because we've got things to pay you again Tx you at the time the light company for the church They don't care what our church how much we love the lord. They need their money And so I said well God is going to bless us based on how we are blessing the community I believe that I believe that God is faithful to those that are faithful to him And so if there's an issue with the money that we may we may need to look at not how we're spending the money But how we're spending our time in the word and how we are disseminated the word That might be the bigger issue So There are man. There's a lot of good questions here. We might be here forever We're not going to be here forever And then you guys are asking questions She you know the best questions the best questions are the ones where I don't have to go and do a Lot of research when I just jump into it right now Bama's there, uh, but then there's some I'm saying I've got to go Let me see what this scripture says Aka hard questions. Did you say cowboys Byron? You are a football heretic No, I'm sorry. No, you're not. No, you're not. No, you're not. No, you're not. No, you're not You are what we call football poor in spirit Yeah, you guys are now you've heard about the glory days of the cowboys, but that's it yet been a long time Anyway Corey I have a question. Well, well hold on Uh Teenage reformer What is your question? Are you really are you really a teenager? Let me type it in the seat. Let's see if I can find you. Let's see if I can find you on here Okay, you tell me you got a question now. Give me your question I got a guys. I'm going to the teenager first I'm going to the teenager first that one beats get that go jet stuff off of here. Don't do that Hate to ban you over here. I'm not gonna ban you for the jets Y'all went and got a 75 year old quarterback We'll see I had we'll see how it works though We'll see how it works Uh, so you're kind of record you not bring that Spanish over here Let's hold on bueno hermano di a state See, I don't know what been been deep bendiga. I don't know what that means I don't that means I'm about to butcher it. I'm about to butcher my Spanish tongues Is baptism biblical? There we go. Oh, oh rebaptism is rebaptism It's not unbiblical. It's not against it. It doesn't go against Matter of fact, the bible doesn't say how many times you can be baptized You're speaking about water baptism now spiritual baptism. That's one time So there is no rebaptism in that but you're talking about a water baptism More than I would say it's more than okay because when you do it You're doing so that people can see your outward profession of your faith Well, how many folks are going to be at the baptism the first time anyway Plus maybe you might realize How I did last time my frame of mind my heart probably wasn't right and so I want to do it again. So that's fine More than fine more than fine. I would say if you feel like get get in the water again Go down in the water again Go down in the water get take your camera Not in the water with you but take your camera and so Okay, everybody's doing this Spider monkey jumps into the to the Spanish everybody's going Spanish Stop it You know, it's funny though. I took Spanish in seventh grade. No, hold on. Hold on Yeah, seventh grade eighth grade ninth grade tenth grade four years of Spanish and know nothing Most of the Spanish that I've learned I learned in prison So, yeah Oh man, this is a good question good question well Dp underscore omp. Why am I so cool? Well, it begins with the hairdo First step in being cool you got to start with the do Yep, see, I don't know about you ladies and you fellas, but me I woke up like this woke up like this and There's no drag. There's no wind resistance. That's the first step The other reason is is is the lord in my life Uh, did I did you get into a serious fight in prison? No, I did not get into this I didn't get into one fight in prison I had to kind of check somebody once before the guy I think I told you guys a guy stole a a Hebrew book A book where I was studying Hebrew. He wanted he was interested and he took it He's gonna take my my book and so I had to had to hit him up and tell him listen You can't whoop me Don't think because I love the lord that I won't love whooping oh, no, I'm kidding But I did get on them. I did get on but I never got into it. I had some moments. So guys, it was funny I had some moments where I was this close This close matter of fact the first no, no this the first night No, not the first night the second night that I got to Beaumont The second night, uh, they came and said Cory put your boots on That's that's a bunch of fight Why because in prison everything's highly segregated. And so you are You with the blacks you with the whites you're with the Hispanics Now depends on which group because you may have like like at Beaumont You've got really two groups of Hispanics. You have the Tongos And then you have the prices prices are the are the the Mexicans from Mexico And then the Tongos are the Hispanics that are in Texas Now if you're not from Texas and you're Hispanic and you gotta figure out which group you're gonna be in You might be one of the other So, um that Somebody uh a pyssa got into it with a black guy on the poker table And so now we got to fight because because it really was a black dude running his mouth I think it was and so So, yeah, wouldn't it be crazy though senior if if if somebody got shanked over the Hebrew book What was your first Hebrew grammar? Mine was Alan P Ross. The first one was it's over there I actually have to name this thing it's it's uh Mansour or something Something manheim mans or something like that. I can't I can't remember And then I got another book and then I got Then I end up getting basics of biblical Hebrew Uh-oh first the wrong way this thing is moving too quickly first the right button Cory Okay, I'm still marking questions All right, and and praise God for you Praise God for you good good godly person good just good godly the lord the lord be with you And keep you All right, let's answer. Wow. I've answered. I've hit a bunch of these questions on here, too I mean I've marked a bunch of questions to be answered all right okay Second in 316 says all scripture is inspired and then the reason why they'll say well It only refers to the old testament is because only the old testament scriptures were the ones that were around That's true and not true because remember Peter also validates Paul's writings as scriptures as well And so we hadn't had the complete canon, but it didn't say all past scriptures just all scripture So whatever become scripture Whatever would be under this categorization scriptures that we have at from the From the apostles It's scripture and god-breed either the those that are in the past that have been written in the past Those that are being written now and at the time of 2nd 2nd 3rd ends on 2nd Timothy The scriptures that are yet to come so all of it is god-breathed are you with me so There shouldn't really be a debate, but some folks some folks look for any reason to discredit the scriptures But a christian youtuber stated this says because the new testament books were not written and included in the canon until later That hasn't that that really the timing that the scriptures became scripture Has no bearing on whether they are actual scriptures or not What determines that is where they actually from got So where there'd be old testament where there'd be new testament What scriptures were written prior to? Paul making that statement. There were scriptures that were written prior to that statement Matthew had already been written at that time Mark had already been written at that time. John hadn't Luke you don't need to go look and see what's Luke was Luke already written But there were pastors that were already written so Those are also scriptures as well Amen Okay, uh Oh from your guy ty asked I guess he asked us earlier this week Is lying on the holy spirit considered blasphemy meaning or if someone says The holy spirit or the lord told me or led me Is that blasphemy of the holy spirit? No, that's not blasphemy of the holy spirit Blasphemy of the holy spirit is an intentional downgraded view or speaking of the holy spirit Lying is something different now. That's a sin without question But a blasphemy of the holy spirit is when you know for a fact This is of the power of god and that jesus is coming the power of god and you're denying that Remember in john three nicked even says that we know that you come from god because We know that no one can do the things that you've done unless they come from god and then these same Pharisees that jesus impunes when he brings up What blasphemy of the holy spirit is He said that's the one that won't be forgiven. Well, they knew full well that he was of god They knew the power that he was in was of god And so you're blasphemy you are intentionally negatively speaking of that now. Can you unintentionally do so? I think you can unintentionally do so, but just out of ignorance If you were a muslim if you were an atheist at the time and you spoke ill Well, not a muslim at that time but an atheist at that time And you spoke ill, but you just didn't know. Well, that's not the same because again You would be because because someone who is who is blaspheming the holy spirit will never come around That person is never going to have it in their heart. As a matter of fact, again Who regenerates that heart it's going to be god and so that person is doomed But the person that does come around he's not guilty of blasphemy the holy spirit because he says something It is something in ignorance like paul did as well and paul said what I did I did out of ignorance And so therefore god spared me but lying Because sometimes folks just do so out of ignorance as well They felt like the lord is ushering this way and so they get so bold and to say it But I wouldn't consider that matter. I know that's not the same as blasphemy of the holy spirit That's a good question. No, that's a good question Let's see. Let me make that one make that one Huh, okay Is it considered a sultry if you If you're a widowed and you'd like to marry a divorcee. No, no No, that that floats your boat. You want to marry someone that's been divorced Okay, I guess that but no, is it sultry? No no, um You treat that the same way you you apply the same standards that god would want applied But no, I need to go look at the definition of sultry. I gotta look that up Stop asking stuff with these difficult words that us regular folk don't know But no, I would I wouldn't consider that Did you see tim ross's video saying the holy ghost told him Cussing will be used to reach people tim ross is so wrong on that The holy spirit is not going to violate his own words Where he says to let no unwholesome words come out of your mouth and then turn around You know, it used this cussing To bring people to listen. I've dealt with some of the worst of the worst Some folks who love to cuss pretty vile and I don't have to cuss to talk to them. I didn't cuss It was kind of a little joke in in in prison But I didn't cuss and then folks would just listen for a word Like if I said dang d a n g Brother Cory cuss. Hey, y'all Cory was cussing on the rec yard No, I didn't the reason why y'all trying to make this news is because you're saying I did But you can still reach people who cuss all the time without cussing And so his point is not well taken. As a matter of fact, it's just silly. You are a grown man Who should have full control of your lips? But to intentionally to say that and then to give To give legitimacy or to give approval to for someone to go out and sin That's not right and that's not being a pastor Does every man Or every individual have a measure of faith? No, just the believers in Romans 12 well your Romans well What the measure of faith has been given to you by the Holy Spirit and so it's only of of believers Now to what does that mean? That's quite a different story and to what degree But only believers would be the ones that would have the Holy Spirit given to them Of course, that's everyone that's been saved all of us that are saved have This measure of faith that was given to us by the Holy Spirit. Amen How can a new believer overcome shame and guilt after a season of sin struggle? The same way that an old believer can overcome shame and guilt after a season of sin and struggle By immediately moving to God our issue is always going to be this one thing What is it Lisa is proximity the closer you are with him The further you are away from whatever it is whatever the it is a season of sin and struggle or Maybe it wasn't a season of sin and struggle, but you just made a big sin just a second ago It's always an issue of Proximity it's always an issue of proximity And so the way you overcome that is by what james says he says to draw near to him What happens though sometimes is if when you mess up shame and guilt kicks in and you you could Feel like you're unworthy Right when you see him when you mess up You really don't feel like going and grabbing the Bible You really don't feel like getting close because man. I feel so dirty so wicked like Well, that's the enemy. He wants you to not do that But what would God say come closer? Come on Come on Just like your mom and daddy when you were little or like you would do your children when they mess up You still want them to come closer You still want them to come closer because they're the ones that can clean you up that can help you. Amen Do you watch jason whitlock also? Did you like kevin sands? I did not like kevin sands I think kevin sands was a horrible example of what a man should be. That's just me Uh, and I see him I see him even still now his old videos leading men astray, but jason whitlock I like just I like jason whitlock. He's from my hometown in enapolis Uh, he is a newer christian so you can see him kind of Learning as as he goes. I don't appreciate that. I don't I don't have a problem with with jason whitlock getting some things wrong Or not getting some things the thing that he did with With kdub kdub it called out jason not jason called out. What's the guy's name? Mike Todd And jason didn't really wasn't really feeling How kdub did it? But now jason whitlock sees that Mike Todd Is not the person that you want to follow and so you you see his his his journey Now and so I like I like I like jason whitlock. I really do he he keeps us straight He kept us straight really when he was at ESPN and then when we were with fox and so Yeah, I like him. I like him. Does that mean that I got to agree with everything he says? No, I you don't have to agree with everything someone says in order for you to like him But as far as him I do like him I do Um Now we've got to go to the greek. You know how much I do not like going to the greek Can the original greek of luke 1734 allow for of a word men that is included in many translations including the kjp So now what we have to do don't go on it now what we got to do is we got to go and pull up Oh, I got to answer that question too. I pulled it up because it was an earlier question. I had to answer it Luke 1734 let's go to luke 1734 1734 Let's pull it up luke 1734 Hold on Do I think I'm qualified? I'll tell you what I'll answer in a second I'll answer that in a second. Let me get a few more of these questions before I go and answer this Uh luke 1734 I tell you on that night that there will be two in one bed and one will be taken in um And the other will be left luke 1734 and does it allow what was your question does it allow? for The word men Uh lake of men tauti And that night the two epi It doesn't speak of a specific gender. So I guess it could be yeah, it could be two men Hold on. So so what we need to do is let's go to the king james version since you brought up the king james version Where's the king james version on here it's on here somewhere There's a lot of different. Oh you oh you all can't see my little pulldown screen There it is king james version. Let's make this bigger. I tell you Uh in the night that there shall be two men In one bed. Okay Uh look to the right side the word for two is duo An epi is in or epi is in and then clean ace is bad And then mias Mias is one High ace so and then only one but I won't go the next part but um Now it does it's not speaking of anything in any sort of in a sexual manner. It just says that Uh men, but but it doesn't use the word Andros which is for man or any here which is man Um, it doesn't use the word guy who got uh Guy nay or got icos for woman Or anthropos which is for all of mankind. It just doesn't say It just says two in One bed And so you can take that how you want to take it but the but the scriptures are unclear As far as that's concerned. Let's see you go back to And by the way, someone asked where why do you use the nasb? And the reason why I do so is because The nasb No matter what version I use Somebody is going to have an issue with it If I use the esv, there's going to be someone saying Um, that's the the the Calvinist version, which is not which is not um, so There's not a version that I can use that that I that someone is going to Be fully in bed with there's always going to be somebody's like, I don't like that version Okay, I can't I can't help it with that As a matter of fact, I'll answer both of those questions together when I get to it That's a good question. Elby I must answer that one Wait a second. Wait a second. Hold on. Wait a second. When I say doesn't without the s. I've said doesn't without the s Doesn't Oh, oh, oh, oh, I just did done done. I do I do stop picking out um stuff I do say that I do say it doesn't I do say that. Wow I never noticed that I never noticed that. Okay Done. Yeah, it doesn't it doesn't I didn't notice that it's just one of those things. It's just one of those. He just comes out. I never Never paid attention to it Anyway Douglas Ray, thank you for the super chat. He says when jesus talks about sheep and goats at the judgment Do you see it as saying the difference between the faithful and unfaithful? Or obvious Yeah, um Yeah, as you can tell I'm trying to run through these and so I'm not going to go to it But sheep is always sheep have always been Salamis with believers and goats have always been sounds with non-believers and so the sheep sheepy girls go separate the sheep and the goats and so Uh, those goats are clearly not believers So and I think it's obvious. Well, I take it back. It's not obvious to us, but it certainly is to him If I answer your question, let me know if I if I answer your question properly I'm trying to because I got I Marked a lot of questions and so I want to get to these questions Once you are filled with the holy spirit, is there such a thing Such a thing of the spirit filling you again and again The reason why I ask is the church that I'm visiting sings this song stating that to be yes Being filled with the spirit is not a one-time process Ephesians 5 says do not be drunk with wine Where is this patient this pace dissipation? But instead Be filled or be controlled with the holy spirit This is an ongoing thing. This so this is an act of tense. And so you're going to keep being filled How does that happen now? You are baptized in the holy spirit and you're going to have the holy spirit with you at all times But it's to the degree that's the issue that paul is bringing up And so it's possible to have the holy spirit in you And then some days not look like you do look like you got a different spirit And so what he's saying is that you need to get to the point to where That's not an issue to where the spirit is evident and working in you. Amen Okay, I did. Thank you. Douglas. Thank you again as well. Okay Can christians go to a pentecostal church while not agreeing with some of their wacky doctrines not the one with the woman Passing things. Yeah, you can't you can't listen being pentecostal doesn't mean that you're not saved It doesn't mean and I don't want to give that impression So you can go to a pentecostal church a carousel mag church is just How far they've gone now some of the pentecostal churches to Today are not like some of the pentecostal churches that we've seen back in the past. I mean these pentecostal churches are like, wow And and truth be told there's a blurring of line between pentecostal and carousel mag They're pretty much the same. They are pretty much the same and so you could go there I wouldn't have a problem with that at all again Someone asked a question I think last week that if your church spoke in tongues is that a deal break should I leave no But again, if you start seeing a deterioration of doctrine Here you might see it other places and so be careful that that might determine Whether you ought to be there or not not just because they're simply pentecostal. Okay, so But good question If you had hair, what style or cut would you have? Well, first of all It's a good question and this might pertain to Some of you people that are weak in the faith Because if I had hair, I would I would do the godly thing and cut it off That's what I would do If I had hair, I would cut it off See, you know the old saying that one beats once you know better you do better So I know better. I know better. So I would just get to cutting it off get to shaving I recommend you all try it try it. Senior Conrad Get you first of all get you get you some shears because I know you got a head full of hair You got to get the shears first get the shears and shave it off first then get you a good razor Get you some a good shaving cream Good lather when you when you when you when you get your hair wet Then take you a nice hot hot ish kind of towel Put it over your head kind of kind of softens the follicles up and get you a nice blade and and you want to you want to go against the grain The lord will love you even more. You're gonna find the blessing just Happening you're gonna find the word of god is opening up to you and so forth. So Anyway But no if I if I was younger and had hair I'd wear like a word before I didn't I wasn't really stylish with my hair I didn't I I had a short um haircut Fade on the side and that was that so All right, let's go to them. I think I'm doing a pretty good job chest champ is not here But if he was here like man, Cory is doing a good job running through these questions Here's a good question. This is one of the better questions one of the better. Let me let me drink some coffee so I can Help you guys understand my issue with the cowboys You all you all need to know this question. You need to understand the answer and why this this runs deep with me This is this is personal with me and the cowboys y'all remember Bill i'm not sure how old you are bill You're stealer fan. Okay, cool That's part of the reason too See growing up if if guys if you're growing up in the 70s y'all remember this There really wasn't a whole lot of see we didn't have NFL Sunday ticket and ESPN where you can see all these different games you might have seen One or two games on Sunday one or two And then you get Monday night football and sometimes you will see halftime highlights So you didn't really have a whole lot of so you there were really a couple teams that you went with back in the 70s It was Pittsburgh It was the cowboys You might have been dependent on how was you might have seen maybe the dolphins Definitely the raiders though The jets they kind of pat they kind of passed by maybe in the Colts Who else? And then you you saw certain stars like everybody loved to watch OJ Simpson or Walter Peyton and then when Earl Campbell comes along and so forth Well, I was a stealer fan And then here come the cowboys and I was not a cowboys fan. I was now we yeah Brian we used to watch the Bears because in Indianapolis At the time the Colts weren't there the Colts hadn't gotten blessed and moved to a great city yet So we would watch the Bears a lot maybe on TV And I'm a Steelers fan my mother's a Cowboys fan This is where this is where it went bad This was back in the day when kids had to be in bed at a certain time And my mother would would hold me to My bedtime make me go to bed And so let's say if the cowboys let's say if the Steelers are on Monday night football I couldn't watch the whole game. I had to get up in the morning and watch the news to see what the score was or ask my mother This is why this was wrong with cowboy fan. This is my own mother lover lover But not for this if the Cowboys are on she would let me stay up late and watch the whole game If the if the Raiders are wrong. I mean if the Steelers are wrong. I couldn't watch it mama It's all right. I told my mama one day. I said when you in a nursing home I'ma get you as soon as you go to nursing home. I'm not coming to visit Or I remember I'll bring you one diaper. I'll bring you one diaper Anyway No shame the best but she's the best but not for that and so I also became a 49er fan So when the 49ers uh 405 boy, you'll remember this the 49ers playing the Cowboys in nsc championship Cowboys take the lead What does my mother do she typical cowboy fan obnoxious obnoxious is all get out This is ungodly and so what does she do? She wants to Mess with me dancing. Ah, it's okay, baby. Kiss on me. It's all right, baby. Just rubbing it in just just rubbing it in But little did she know Little did she know Number 16 Joe Montana takes a team down the field And we win on the catch the white Clark catches a pass in the corner of the end zone over everson walls Who had led the nfl in the interceptions that year Didn't matter everson walls. You're too puny. Get down sit down everson walls And so what did I do? I did the exact same thing that mama did I'm dancing and smiling and this and that but it's okay mama. So what does she do? What does she do? She threatens me with a weapon Mama, you hypocrite. It's the same thing. You just did. It's all right mama That's all right. And so now that hatred that this thing for the Cowboys It runs deep. Look at this. Look at this. Look at this. They cheated. They cheated. Yeah, they cheated by showing up playing inferior talent That's what happens. That's what happens What you say That good girl. Good girl. It's look look look back in my dating days being a Cowboys fan was an absolute deal breaker God is the lord bless her All right, I'm just messing with you Um, I got Jared. I got you. I got your question. Uh, Jared. I got you. I got to make sure I do have you Mark down. Matter of fact, I have Matthew seven pulled up as well And then let me ask answer this question as well. I because I knew it was going to get cut off. I saw it in the beginning This is from um In search of truth 41 ask this question I can't put up because it's not populated anymore He says what is the significance of 40 days and 40 nights in the bible? Oftentimes in the bible, you'll see 40 days and 40 nights 40 days All throughout is there a significance? Maybe the problem is we just don't know some people may say it means this It may mean that we honestly guys We really don't know We we really don't know because the bible didn't tell us what 40 means It seemed like it might mean something but at the same time we're just not told and so because of that It's hard to say it is hard to say so Cowboys just have a hard time with with the 49ers, huh? They have a hard time with the 49ers Anyway Um, I've heard that too dutch It's the number of testing Or it is a number of probation But if we say that What's the rule? We got a final scripture and we don't we just don't have one and so that's that's the that's the problem with it We just Man, we just don't know we just don't know and and but what we don't want to do is get into the habit of Ascribing something with these numbers because let's say man. It's been 40 days since this happened Uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh do two things guys getting ready blessed or some of y'all folks beyond i'm gonna play the numbers Let me go play the numbers make sure there's a 40 in there Which by the way my father used to have it in his in his in his uh days He used to uh have a ticket house a gambling joint As well and some clubs as well so There's a person have to believe uh the trinity to be saved where in the But you don't have to believe the term trinity. Here's what you have to believe You must believe that jesus is god Now we know from the scriptures that uh that the lord is god according to Deuteronomy 4 verse 35 and 39 That the lord is god. There is no doubt about that. We know there's only one god I have a lord and god there is none according to isaac the lord is god The angel the lord is god and the lord is god that part is clear because we go to exodus 3 We see the angel the lord we see the lord and we see god in the midst of the bush all are Called or told to be god Then we see his other name which by the way we'll deal with later when we talk about the tetragrammaton Because there's another word that's also there that we never bring up But anyway, that's god the bible says that you must confess that jesus is the lord So that part is clear as well. So if you don't confess if you don't know that he is the lord, which is god, there's only one lord Hero is real the lord our god is one and so you must believe that the lord is god That's that there is that's inescapable and so a person that that wants to reject that As far as I see it, I understand you can't be saved because remember John 8 24 says that unless you believe that I am he or I'm the I am you will die in your sins So yes, you must believe so why did the devil tempt Jesus with all of the land if he's already got and it's technically because the devil's stupid Can I say that because the devil's just just uh, just well now now you also have to remember this as well He's the devil, but he's god's devil In other words, he's going to do what he must do What he now do we know what god has ordained or sent him to do because the devil has been sent by god in the past Why specifically that we can surmise Just to show that he's also been tempted because remember what he says that he is he is a high priest But not but but a different high priest But in this case he can sympathize with us because he's also been tempted And so at his worst at his weakest so to speak Here comes the devil It's one of the only few accounts that we have the devil actually speaking And he tempts him and what does he do he he takes the word We talked about this before how The enemy will take the word and twist it bend it and he will try to do so towards your desire Just like we see in the garden we see the enemy take the word what god has said and bend it To make it fit what the other person on the other end what their desire is like with eve Okay, well, jesus is hungry Um, jesus needs to be worshiped as lord and so these are things his desires the reason why he comes And what does the devil want to do here twist these words and do this just so it can fit your desire Well, no, I don't first of all my desire is going to be accomplished anyway And by the way, uh, mr. Devil Man shall not live by bread alone, but from every word that proceeds from his mouth. And so, um, you are twisting it But I'm living off of his word And so why was that why? That's the best reason I come up with that he was tempted like us and that he can also sympathize with us as the bible says so All right next question Jared says Matthew 7 21 through 23 could that be in relation to the deliverance ministry? It's interesting that jesus specifies casting out demons. I've said this before that I said it's I don't think that that jesus just throws words around just haphazardly just because And so he says men will save my day lord We prophesied in your name and cast out demons and so here we are in 2023 the 21st century and we see that as something that's being um Being abused people saying that the lord told me I'm prophesying and these are not real prophecies and casting out demons Well, not casting out a christian And now notice also what he says that you don't even have to be a believer Because jesus doesn't come back and say that they were lying if they were wrong They could be but the scripture didn't say so But uh, if we take it for what it says that okay fine, uh, you don't have to be a believer But his issue was I never knew you And so this is something that jesus brings up. He could have brought up any other thing He could think about all the things that he could have said that many would say to me in that day that lord um, I've prayed Lord, I've helped a little old ladies cross street. I've given my money. I've done all these different things But he brings up those two things And so I think that's something that we at at the very least ought to be cognizant of cognizant of And so when someone is always talking about Giving these prophecies especially prophecies are false and then always delivering demons That they've delivered more demons than demons have been made. There's more demons than ever existed and so I think we can I think we rightly would go to matthew chapter seven and say hey be careful be careful Let's see don't need to also let's let me go and Mark a few that I might have missed Again, I'm not going to be able to get to all of these but I am moving pretty quickly I've got to give myself a pat on the back of them. I'm moving faster than I normally do And you know what's funny though, Abraham? These are love the debate with with dr. Brown um We thought we were going to have more time But then his assistant said we're only going to have an hour And so like we're not going to be able to drill down and go over certain stuff If I just cover tongues by myself, it's always go back go back and look it's always at least an hour and a half two hours So with someone else it was going to take a lot longer But we are supposed to have a debate over one saved always saved um and On this one though on that one. I'm gonna I'm gonna do my best not to be not to be rude, but I'm gonna I'm gonna um What does it come in hot? More of these. All right, let's go back up here How do you answer someone that says that there is no eternal punishment going this? Uh, let's see. Let's see. Let's see. Let's see. Let's see. Let's wait. Let's go to so I want to go to new Testament passages Okay, let's go to Matthew 18 18 And wait a minute. Wait a minute. Hold up. Wait a minute Oh duh But whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to stumble It would be better for him to have a heavy millstone hung around his neck and to be drowned in the deficit Woe to the woe to the world because of his stumbling blocks For it is inevitable that the stumbling blocks come But woe to the man through whom the stumbling block comes if your hand or your foot causes you to stumble Cut it off Uh And throw it from you It is better for you to enter life crippled or lame than to here it is Have two hands or two feet and be cast into The eternal fire if your eye causes you to stumble pluck it out Now so it's this eternal Fire there's other paths talks about eternal torment where the worm never dies and so forth and so The bible is clear there will be if a person goes to hell that it's going to be eternally Well, how could a loving god do that? Well He's also got some wrath. He's also got that doesn't play So lump a couple of these together Can you give a suggestion? Give suggestions or different ways one can share the gospel to others, especially if you are uncomfortable in certain social situations This is important. This is probably the most important question that we'll cover If you first of all, we all have to give the gospel in some way shape from a fashion And you might not be the kind of person that needs to get up before people Or to go to some stranger, but you know somebody you've got a relationship with somebody a friend a cousin A co-worker you just have a conversation At some point in time something that they're dealing with or going through Or that you're going through with the person you're talking about Will cause you to bring up Jesus and what he's done you are testifying about it Let people know even in your conversation even in passing casually that Jesus is somebody important in your life Guys, if no one knows at your job or your neighborhood that you're a christian It may actually be because you're not or you're just not being a very good one Don't be ashamed the time is going to come where you're not going to be allowed to be ashamed You're not going to be able to kind of hide in the weeds and so forth and so But take the opportunity to share Even if it's a little bit about christ and what he's done Act like you love the person that you're talking to because paul says the love of god Because of the fear and terror of the lord or also because of the love of god We we are compelled to share with men And so just tell them just hey man. I'm so thankful to god They may ask you, uh, why are you so happy today? Well because the lord is just good to me wonderful because I'll I'll tell them about something else Man, I just won this I just I just I got a promotion or I saw this good movie. What have you well brag about the lord as well And there is no specific way that you have to do it Just that you should do it, but don't do it this way. Don't worry about how it's going to look how it's going to come across Don't worry about what they may think of you Okay, um because a friend that's that's upset with you by being a christian is not your friend. Anyway, hey man Why do people say they want the Why do people say they want the fire of god? It is it has come to be idiomatic nowadays. It means something different because in the bible that's judgment But they mean it to be like like uh, jeremiah like his fire shut up in my bones That i'm on fire for the lord. They mean it that way and that's that's that's all they mean So let me answer two questions um Simone says When are you starting your church? I'm ready to move from maryland And then this goes with this question Uh, do you think that you are qualified to be a pastor based on your? Past if yes or no, please give reasons okay And I I I I know where you're coming from because some a certain person's now saying that i'm not qualified when previous I was but okay, let's let's let's go to the pastors first timothy three Is a trustworthy statement if a man aspires to the office of oversea. There's a pastor pastor this apesca apesca pace Which is a pastor it is a fine work if he desires to do so So it's something that you desire to do and you have to be obviously Equipped in in certain ways, but an overseer then must be above reproach that mean not saying or have ever had sin No, that means because that were the case nobody's qualified, right? But are they actually in sin? No The husband of one wife I'm the husband of one wife only had one wife But cori did did you not did you did you ever cheat on your wife? Yes, I did yes I did does that mean that i'm unqualified find the scripture Find the scripture so that's not what that means either so Now it also doesn't mean that if a person has been Uh divorced someone can say so and now it'd be up to the people that are listening to say I'm not sitting down underneath a pastor that's been divorced or what have you again You got to look at the different circumstances and so forth Uh, the husband of one wife temperate. So here's my question And I've asked people especially those that are closest to me that know me The ones that see me and actually know me what I think what I feel how I move Do you think that I'm someone who is above reproach? Meaning that I'm in I'm in violation of some particular sin or anything like that Is that the case with me? So because guys I've been kind of vetting myself for the for the last I don't have many years Uh, am I? Obviously the husband of one wife am I temperate? Do do do do you think I'm not temperate? Uh or prudent I think I am Uh respectable That's up to you guys to determine but I I don't think that I'm I'm not uh Not respectable. Maybe I'm not hospitable. I think I am able to teach. I think I am Uh addicted to wine. I'm not or pugnacious Uh, am I pugnacious a violent person? I don't think that I am a violent person in my gentle I would say so peaceable. I think so Free from the love of money. I think so He must be He must be one who manages his own household. Well keeping his children under control with all dignity. I think I'm fine there And not a new convert Not that so that he will not become con conceded and fall into the condemnation incurred by the devil And he must have a good reputation with those Outside of the church so that he will not fall into reproach and snare the devil Do I think that I have a good reputation? Outside the church. Are you still here? What's the guy's name? Liberating truths, uh, just make sure I want to see if you're still here since you asked the question So the question would be Do I have a good reputation? Well, do I have a good reputation? 100 across the board. Well, no one does no one did Jesus have a good reputation 100 across the board? Well, no So there are going to be some folks that I don't think you're qualified. I don't think this I don't think that So It's it's going to depend upon If I plant the church Who's on do they do they agree with that? Do they believe so? So now so here's my question. Okay. He's here. There's my question liberating truths. Do you think I am? Do you do you think that I am that that's the other question now? Not that you would necessarily be at the church once it's planted, but do you think I am? And if so, you know and listen, I won't I won't be upset or bothered If you don't but yeah, no, I don't think you are and and here's the reasons why I'd like to know I've heard what what someone else has said and none of what he said Makes any any kind of good sense any kind of good biblical sense But if you if you're inclined to a degree well then well then fine Uh, but you got to tell me why You have you absolutely have to tell me why Because see what's happening is this And I've said it before if you guys ask me a question I'll answer the question Do you all realize do you all realize that folks are saying Corey won't talk of this and that way? I haven't asked me one question have not called me There's been one or two people that have emailed me and and then before I got a chance to get back Turn around took the email or the question to somebody else to make a to make more statements about it Or what then I don't want to talk to I don't want to talk to you if all you want to do is Uh, you know as I said before make it into a circus I mean you can have a circus without me You know you don't need me But there's been a couple folks that have actually called That have actually emailed and gave me time to get back and okay. I understand I I'd get that that makes sense That makes sense So, uh, I would like to see where you where you buddy, uh, what's uh liberating Liberating truths. Um, what do you think? And and I'll give you some time because maybe you are Maybe you are um Taking time to type do I? um Do you do I plan on addressing cycle? Uh and everything going on or no Not right now I would imagine some point time in the future maybe but here's the thing though If you guys ask me questions have I do do I I tend to answer the questions? I tend to answer the questions and so The problem is though I'm not seeing them. They say well. Hey the moderators are delete. I don't think they aren't they happen to leave them Um, you can always text me And I text me you can always uh put it in comments later on or email me I'll I'll eventually get to them says I'm not certain it seems that there are things clear. So okay. So what things you think need to be cleared up? What are some things that you again, because it doesn't have to be a biblical question So tell me I'm gonna go to the next question, but liberating truths. Tell me what things you think need uh need to be cleared up I don't have I've never had a problem. Can I tell you something? Let me just say this The folks that have a problem with me and making these statements And they literally have my phone number or whatever they can actually call can still that person you ask me about Will I respond to him? He can call me. He's never called me He's never called me and so and I know that's gonna create another video don't care Uh, but he's never called me The guys the folks that's been on the panel they haven't called me Call me Call me call me if you need someone to do that's all song It's my number and a dime Call me should we should we tie it off the off a tax return? No, you don't have to tie Now do you feel inclined to give give? Give if you feel inclined to give Out of your love for the lord Well, no you tell me what you mean by by blameless if you think that that might be something I need to Need to uh need to fix Um, let me ask another question. Let me ask answer another question. Uh in the meantime If someone is dying and says they do not want to hear anything religious Do you respect their wishes and not share the gospel with them? That's a tough one Perry Me especially if there's a family member. Oh, you're gonna hear it You matter of fact where you're going you're gonna wish you heard it Now if they're dying let's say they got they got uh weeks to live or months to live The gospel is coming in some way shape from a fashion Now I'll be respectful in how I do so and if if as I'm sharing the gospel said no, please stop I don't want to hear it within fine. Okay Break my heart to know that you are literally going to hell And this and it could be avoided, but I tried because again all you can do Is all you can do All you can do is all you can do hold on. Let me answer this one. Can I hold on Can you show from the greek that the body of christ And the bride are one of the same Ephesians 5 29 Let's go to Ephesians 5 29 Oops For no one ever this is 5 29. Is that what you said Ephesians 5? Oh 5 19 32 For this reason the man shall leave his okay, that's what you say For no one ever hated his own flesh but nurses And cherishes it just as christ also does the church Because we are members of his body For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and shall be joined to his wife And the two shall become one flesh now So you see what how he's kind of putting these these together This mystery is great, but I am speaking in reference to christ and the churches So your question is is the church the body look he says nevertheless each individual among you Also is to love his own wife. He does himself and he must And the wife he must see to it that she respects her husband So now your question is how do we how do we relate the church to I mean the body to the bride You know one second Here's a passage for you revelation 22 17 and the spirit and the bride say come and let the one who hears Say come and let the one who is thirsty come and let the one who wishes Take the water of life without cost. So there's one example Revelation 21 9 the one of the seven angels who have the seven bowls full of the seven last plagues came and spoke with me saying Come here. I will show you the bride The wife of the land and remember what how how he stated that we get this this this imagery of a father Giving the bride to the groom. What does Jesus call the bride groom? And so all that the father gives to me the father gives the bride to the groom the church To the groom are you with me? Revelation 19 7 and let us rejoice and be glad and give glory to him for the marriage of the lamb has come and his bride has made herself ready that be us Let's see He who has the bride is the bride groom But the friend of the bride groom who stands and hears him Rejoices greatly because of the bride groom's voice. So this joy of mine has been made fool. So speaking of John 3 What is John 3 speaking of Jesus Jesus speaking of those who are believing in Christ and so Yeah, I think it's pretty clear that Jesus. I mean that that the church the body is the bride All right, let me go to this to the to the gentleman that was asking me. Where is he? did you respond? was liberating truth Please cover blameless from the scripture you quoted Well, I thought I did Uh, what was that first Timothy again? He must be yeah, where is it? An overseer must be above reproach The husband of one wife temperate prudent respectable Hospital ain't able to teach not addicted to wine or pugnacious, but gentle, peaceful free from a love of money Um, and so where you are looking at? Blameless would be from this word here above reproach Meaning he's not in something He's not he's not in sin. He's not living a lifestyle of sin Okay, now just for let's just be let's be clear what we're talking about You disagree with me that make me in sin Okay, but because you disagree with me, uh, my disagree with you didn't make that mean that I have sinned Okay, thank you Marvin Hudson Happy Mother's Day to my to my wife and to all your otherwise out there guys Uh, your mother's happy mother's day to you too Um, so But a lot of different allegations out there stuff out there and again if if you want to know if you want me to address them I don't I've never had a problem with addressing them I actually just had a conversation with someone who was asked where the legal case You know that was brought out that my legal case Okay If you say so If you say so which I didn't I mean and if if I don't think that anyone who's ever asked me about my legal case, I've not told them I don't think I've lied or hit anything. I don't think I played the victim I don't think so I don't think I have I'm not a victim I'm not a not a victim at all. I did wrong and got dealt with Praise god No simply a sin simply being in the past does not make a person blameless A sin being in the past if they're still engaged in it that makes them that means they can't be blameless Because everybody has a past sin Everybody has done something um, yeah that Is it uh, seco's followers are told that you are in sin. That's what this is about. I mean, what what's what's the sin? If you tell me and I don't have a problem with it because I can't see my back I can't see what's behind me. I can't matter of fact I can't even see my face unless there's a camera. I look on the screen or mirror I don't I can't see what I look like and so You have to tell me hey core. Did you know this and then the problem is when someone tells you this and then you have to either accept or reject it so But just tell me simply what the uh, what the sin is. What did you say answer? Hold on So If you if you want to say hey corey, I think this and listen you are more than welcome to say um Say what it is And I again don't have a problem with the dressing Do you not have a problem with the dressing? Okay, hold on. This is like the third question about About ties should we question leadership that pushes ties even though it is not required? I would question it at not the same time It's not a deal breaker. I had this conversation a few times about someone who is pushing tides and No, um, do I have a problem with that? It's not necessarily correct But I'm not gonna. Yeah, I can't go to your church because you're talking about ties up in yumi I'm gonna I'm coming to your question next And so nope now if they're constantly pushing it and pushing it and pushing it and pushing it By the way, do you all know that that churches on average get about two three four percent of people's actual income? So they're not even getting tired I didn't even get to tie so From a pr standpoint act like you're not pushing the tide and be happy with what you're getting but better utilize what you have coming in Thank you Daryl for the super chat. I appreciate that. I really do Let me answer this question really quickly because I've been asked to answer this question What is 2nd Peter 1 5 through 9 literally saying? This better not be a difficult question This better not be a difficult question Okay Peter one Now for this very reason also applying all you know what I can't start there because I've got this this word now It's got it's this word day, which is post positive. So it's referring to something else So now I got to start in verse one To those who have received the faith Received a faith of the same kind as ours that's interesting of faith, huh? As the same kind of origin say the faith but a faith by the righteousness of God and savior Jesus Christ Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our lord Seeing that his divine power has granted to us everything pertaining to life and godliness through the true knowledge of him Who called us which by the way is saying a lot guys right here? By his own glory and excellence for by these he has granted us his precious and magnificent promises So that by them you may become partakers of the divine nature having escaped the corruption that is In the word by lust Now for this very reason also applying all diligence in your faith Supply moral excellence and in your moral excellent Knowledge and in your knowledge self-control and in your self-control perseverance and in your perseverance godliness and in your godliness Brotherly kindness and in your brotherly kindness love for if these qualities are yours Um and are increasing they render you neither useless nor unfruitful in the true knowledge of our lord Jesus Christ for he who lacks these qualities is blind or short sighted having forgotten His purification from his former sense. So your question is what is it literally saying? Here's what you do start Hold off on verse nine and go back to uh And in your godliness brotherly kindness and brotherly kindness love now start at the end of verse seven And work your way back Love is the main point What produces this so he's kind of like saying this produces this which produces this which produces this so look we say so love Is a byproduct. You'll see your love in how you show your brotherly kindness It produces more love or what does that and in your godliness you just being godly will result in your brotherly kindness So if you're not showing brotherly kindness Because you're not very godly Your godliness is a result of your perseverance What is that? Well, I go through things and I stay focused on him I am I've got this patience that comes about from the lord. Well, how's that come about from self-control? I'm not rallying off. I'm not getting bothered. I might be bothering inside, but I'm gonna stay stay calm Painting composure the storm is is raging, but I'm still cool. Why because who's in the boat with me Um, well, where's that stuff? Where does that self-control? So you see how we're doing? We're walking backwards Where does that self-control come from from knowledge? knowledge And this knowledge and in your moral excellence this this has to do with Your understanding of what's happening as a result of christ in you And how does that come about because of your faith? You see how we're just working our way back The this produces this which produces this which produces this ultimately it's going to show up as love And that love is is exactly on other people not yourself Does that does that help? I hope that helped Douglas ray says Communion is a command, but how often I'm attending a presentation church But uh, by the way, they spell out the requirements. I'm not comfortable sharing in uh, the table Is this one where is this one of these churches where you have to you you're literally sharing the the cup and the bread I've seen that and like you germs You have to deal with that but in turn But how often should a person take communion the bible doesn't say The bible doesn't say how often to take communion just as often as you do do it in remembrance of me Why do I think I know so much? I don't know so much I don't know so much But I can read scriptures and just use my my hermeneutics And that helps me kind of walk through it's just the same as the same way you would read a book C spot run I and I get an understanding the same way how I read this Let's go back to some of these other questions. I'll where I left where I left off at Where'd I leave off it? Okay No, that's not where left off it Yep, scottie. I agree I agree Is that person sewing discord among the brother? Well, ask the brother Ask the brother But I was actually I was literally talking with someone about My legal case And this person I'll speak to wouldn't learn like okay, I can see that I get that Um, let's see. Let's see. Let's see Were you were you writing that or you ask? I don't know if you were asking me the ones that I neglected to Matthew 11 30 is it Referring to source and not wait. Well, let's go to Matthew 11 30. I don't know what it says Check a few more questions Because I have to get prepared make sure I'm all set for tomorrow For my yoke is easy and my burden is light. So your question is Is light referring to source and not weight? It's referring to weight It's referring to Um, the word that's used here requires a slider insignificant. It's not much. It's not heavy So what he's carrying as he's carrying it It's not ain't that heavy ain't that heavy for him and if and if he's carrying yours, I think that heavy for you Hey, man Oh, I didn't even put on the screen did I? I'm sorry. I should have put on the screen duck Cory I'm sorry Okay Let's take I'm sorry guys and take a few more questions and that will be that That's the interesting question can a Or can women have their own ministries outside of the church and not serving as a pastor We all are supposed to have a ministry male or female because that just simply means serving But now the issue is what this is what we do a lot. We this is my ministry This is how I'm gonna do one way. Maybe that's not what god wants you to do God wants us serving in some capacity In and out of the church Now is it uh mary smith ministries? evangelist mary smith Okay Is there is it is there a pastor says she can't do that. It's not really a pastor says you can't do that Uh, but it's how it goes again. It goes to how she's doing it as long as it doesn't violate scripture You're fine. That's that's always the case guys. That's always the case as long as what you're doing does not violate scripture Okay As long as it doesn't violate scripture then man, you're okay You're okay No, they they say be a member of a but oh That's finally real truth that listen we're not gonna um We're not gonna be bothered with uh, if that if that's your view that's your view Thank you monologon For the super chat. I appreciate that Marcelus Davenport. Thank you also for the super chat. I appreciate that Um, wait a second. I just saw I just don't go in Oh, you didn't wait in search of truth. You didn't see I I answered go I don't want to answer it again in search of truth 41 I answered it earlier Go back you're gonna have to replay but basically there there there seems to be a significance But the bible just doesn't doesn't tell us we can make a guess Is it tempting is it we can come up with different conclusions, but the bible just doesn't say The bible just doesn't say and so for that reason It would be difficult to say that this is definitely what this means Wait a second. Wait a second. Hold on. Wait a second. Wait a second I am new to a great church and get the feeling that the senior pastor doesn't like me He rolled his eyes at me As soon as he saw me seating sitting In the pews, how should I handle that situation? I would assume that you're wrong Not you might you might be right, but do this err on the side of you being wrong You know what because because here's what happens sometimes Sometimes we think that person has it out for me or feel a certain way and maybe we're just Misunderstanding now what you can do to kind of figure this out is go to him. Hey listen I'm getting a vibe I'm getting a vibe. Uh, am I wrong? And he might say Yeah, you're wrong. No, I know I listen. I don't know. I don't think at all or he might say. Yeah, I don't like you Well, then now you know Go and ask go and find out Um, and then you'll know but I wouldn't make an assumption I would not make an assumption without without knowing So, uh, Ron the servant says does Titus 1 1 go against Titus 2 13? All right, let's go to Titus 1 1 And then let's go over here to Titus 2 13 all right Titus 1 1 Paul bond servant Of God and an apostle Jesus Christ for the faith of those chosen of God and the knowledge of the truth Which is which is according to godliness and then to 13 Uh looking for the blessed hope and the appearing of the glory of our great god and savior Jesus Christ Okay, that's what you're saying. You're asking does God servant of God and apostle Jesus Christ Um, this where it seems to be a differentiation between Jesus and God In Titus 1 but then Titus 2 Um our great god and savior Jesus Christ Well no Because there are times where it does seem like he's just saying just God and he's by himself or Jesus needs by himself And then there are times where um, he puts them together. We know The thing is we know that Jesus is God And so when he says in in 13 by the way, this is what we call this the uh grandville sharp rule He's our great god and savior Jesus Christ. So what is Jesus our? He's our god and our savior by the way the bible calls God Obviously calls him God but also calls him savior as well So No, they definitely don't go against each other They don't now some will say so but again the proof that they don't go together I mean that they that they don't contradict each other is The fact that that we see them said differently Right with me. So when a person thinks that god is is distinct or separate Or not or jesus is not god, but then we go to this passage over here It says he is well, then we'll that's the proof to show that that he is that Jesus is god when someone says otherwise Question dog on it or gosh dogged I'm dog on is my go to but i'm i'm i'm liking Gosh dogged more and more Soy milk or whole milk whole milk clearly clearly Weren't you anyone that's raised right understands regular old cow milk regular old cow milk For those of us who are raised right Do I continue to support a church that finances convicted rapists? uh Of baby ministries. I had a conversation with someone. Let me let me let me let me help you guys out Some of you guys haven't been in prison. So you don't know this Y'all tell me We had a sex offender at a prison sex offender at a prison In there for sex offense Where these guilty or not or whatever everybody in prison has been Um convicted of a charge. So we got the sex offender in there His family his family they're christian His family has some money and his church is involved in prison ministry So what are they doing This guy will call him mike because that's his name plus you you won't be able to find there's a billion mikes And so what is mike doing mike is kind of the the uh the point person with his parents and his home church Who because in prison there is no such thing as a personal prison ministry There's no there's no ministry. There's no prison in in america be a state or federal where the inmate has his own ministry It violates every state and and the federal government's um policies So what happens is this Mike notices that a lot of inmates like i've noticed don't have bibles don't have reading or study material So what does he do because maybe mike is trying to get himself right? Maybe he's trying to whatever even even if he's just being fake it doesn't really matter The point is this that church on the outside is sending bibles or sending resources In to either the church chapel or they may send it directly to the inmate not to mike himself They can't do why because in the b.o.p. Or any state prison you are not allowed to take any property of yours And give it i can't buy anything for you I can't doing that what i can do though is kind of be a point person say hey We need this on the outside of someone we need Bibles in here. Can you help us out and then the church does so does so and now someone says hey That's funding that guy's ministry you call what you want to but what you're really doing Is you're getting the word of god to certain people now i want to ask you guys a question Is that a good thing or a bad thing tell me guys right now? Is that a good thing or is that a bad thing that that bibles and study material is coming in Would you would you all want to get rid of that or would you want to keep that? Because i can promise you uh at the prison that we were at They're like yeah, that's good. Yeah, but this now remember in prison. They don't like sex offenders They call them chomos and it's not man, but this chomo. Yeah, but listen people are getting the word of god People are getting study material The chapel budget is vastly different than the prison study book a library budget And so you got folks that are talking about it like they don't know what i'm telling you This is what's happening. Nobody is sitting you it doesn't work like that It didn't work like that So that's a good thing That's a good thing and so um even if and what happened was once mike leaves That church is still sitting in it's not mike's you can call it mike's ministry would have you but it's really going to the actual chapel itself Because something i get it sometimes folks don't understand things they they hear something and they just run with it That's what that was happening and and and quite a few prisons Quite a matter of fact matter of fact every prison they have something not just every prison But a lot of prisons they have something like that and they may have a point person Are you with me so? Get that helps uh Yeah, everyone said that's good and it is that's that you want that you want that kneeling How would you counsel someone who has been depressed and cutting themselves and you're not in sin? Thank you. I'm not in sin. Thank you. But how would I how would I deal with someone who's been depressed and cutting themselves? The same way with someone who is not depressed and cutting themselves The word of god guys is powerful sharper than any to If I were me or if I were god, I would put what I just said in the bible What I just said I would put in the bible that the word of god is powerful sharper than any two-edged sword Cutting in between the soul and the spirit So what do I want to do? I want to now there's sometimes where you have to be delicate when someone is cutting themselves Oftentimes it's them lashing out Sometimes they do it for because they're crying out for someone to see for attention will give them attention Everybody on the planet wants attention. Don't lie. Don't say I don't care what people think because everybody in the chat Does care what people think we all do And we need attention to some degree now some folks require too much attention But give them the kind of tension that that they need matter of fact. What did uh opa me asked to do? Look at look at uh second peter This issue of love As it's shown to others to brothers That's what you do. Let them know that you care. Let them know that they that they matter let them know they matter to god and to you That's what you do and you keep giving them the word now it's going to vary from person to person people do people get depressed and And uh cut themselves from different reasons and so but if you feel like you're in over your head Then find someone who who can handle that a counselor Who can handle that amen Jeff thank you for the super chat. Thank you. Corey. Thank you. Uh, oh look. Thank you mods. Jeff says thank you mods Thank you mods.

I said I was leaving and haven't left but then but core you always say you're leaving And you wait a whoa, wait a wait a wait a wait a minute Okay, wait a second. Hold on now. You're gonna make me stay here for a little while Why is that a bad thing? Why is someone getting bibles in prison a bad thing? Explain yourself It when and we're not moving to you you you sir are going to explain yourself. Why is that a bad thing? Make sure Get yourself together gather yourself Like like like god speaking to joe Answer this question like a man I'm gonna talk to you How is that a bad thing? Please explain this Please explain this Let me drink my coffee and sit back and just wait that because I Inform us. I want to know how in the world. Is that a bad thing? We need to know We need to know and we're waiting too While we're waiting let me answer another question He has another you you threw me off Uh, please answer Ezekiel 33 36 I sure will uh oh I push the wrong button. Thank you ron That bueller you Ezekiel 33 36 Is that what you 33 36? Wait a second. There is no 33 36 You tricked me Or is it 33 3 through 6 maybe that's what you're asking Is that what you're asking 33 3 through 6? Uh, and he sees a sword coming upon the land and blows on the trumpet and warns the people then he who hears The sound of the trumpet and does not take warning and a sword comes and takes him away His blood will be on his own head. He heard the sound Okay, if that's what you're talking about you are required to be a watchman now This is obviously speaking in terms of israel, but the same here We look out after our brother. So if you see danger coming and you're not warning the bible says According to this that his blood will be on your hand. Well, we do the same thing here Like paul says because of the tear of the lord and also because of love we warn our brothers we We uh, we compelled them Wait a minute. Wait a minute, brother I'm assuming your brother. I'm assuming I don't you might be you might be a lady. You might be a lady But Is it full s? I don't know how you say you say your name if I if I know it was f o something e there it is Full strange full strength. I don't know what that you say that's bad. We come on brother Come through and let us know how that's a bad thing because we might listen. We all we might be seeing this incorrectly Help us I assume I'm gonna go out on a on a limb And say that you are saying it's bad because you've been made to believe it's bad Without knowing the particulars now. I don't know. I don't know And so that might be that might I might be wrong But how is something getting bibles in In the hand of inmates, I don't think you all realize how much there is a famine of the word of god in prison I don't think maybe you don't know that When you check in they don't give you a bible They don't to have that there in your because let me ask question Do you guys would you say it's a good thing for people to become repentant in in in the in the prisons? Is that a good it sure it is And giving them the word helps they can actually go and sit and read the word Where are you at? Would you ask? Uh, read first peter four one. Does the word sarky in greek? What does that mean? Well, the word that you're talking about sarky refers to flesh. Let's go to it first uh-oh First peter Say four one. I think that's what you said first Peter four one Yeah, the word sarky here is the word for flesh. It refers to This part the meat the body So is that what you're asking? That's that's what it refers to What do you mean zero context right about I asked your question? I asked you I asked you the example I gave you Was that a good thing? Was that a good thing? Well, let me let me just help you out. Let me help you out. Let me help you out That's a good thing That is a good thing To get the word in to the the hands of inmate to get these study material into inmates Different bible study courses That came in this guy was was kind of hey chaplain want to get this set up or whatever we need to do What what my people need to do and so forth or whatever? Um, and we would say that hey, this is this I almost said his last name, but this is mike's ministry Uh But do you know I'm do you know how many people were you know? Let me just say this let me just say this shame on you for even making that statement Shame on brother. I love you. I think I've seen you here a few times before but that's just a bad statement That is a bad statement to not know how the to not know how this stuff is working in prison But you know that and I'm just giving example what I know I don't know about any other places, um, but what I do know how I've seen it happen And you would say that it's not a good thing when Is getting the word of god a bad thing? Tell me christian Someone help me out because maybe maybe you all agree with him that that's a bad thing But these men would get it they would grow they would learn never had a bible of their own See there are some bibles that you go to a to a to a prison And there are there are bibles in the chapel, but you can't take those those bibles out It's got their stamp if you take that bible out of the chapel, you know what that's considered It's considered contraband you can get written up for that Because it's not yours It might be in bad condition, but then you got your own you got your own study material When in the world is that a bad thing stop looking for a reason to be angry mad or just down or whatever it is And to say something like that Don't do that ever again as long as you've got skin and eyebrows. Don't do that. That makes absolutely no sense Now do I know the situation of every prison? No, I do not No, I do not but I gave you an example of how I seen it works How I seen it work most often and I asked you is that that I described a good thing. It's a good thing It wouldn't be a trick question, but it was easy answer so brother Stop it Stop it Anyway, let's see. Let's see. Where's your question? Is it possible? Okay. Is it possible for For everyone to give a fourth telling and at the same time Uh, the rhetorical question stand do all prophesy Okay The issue of prophesy do all prophesy I see what you're saying because he says do all prophesy do all speak with tongues Well, in this case, do all have the gift the spiritual working to give a revelation of god Now all of us have the ability to give this revelation this indicative revelation of the scripture But do all have the ability to kind of give it in as it as it being gifted In other words, maybe to open it to tell it properly to actually reveal what it says and so forth Or also being a foretelling revelation. It could be both Now what is he speaking of here in first Timothy first Timothy and um First Corinthians 14 or 12 He's probably likely speaking of the foretelling But then he's going to also move over to the the fourth telling the indicative As well So he's might he's probably speaking of the foretelling, but it could be the fourth telling Because remember now remember at the time that we're speaking of that paul is making this statement All of the word of god hadn't been given Oh by the way, there are no bibles And so when people go to other places That's funny at this also when people go to other places They want to give a revelation How do you do so without scripture? So here we're talking about probably a supernatural Revelation is given of the indicative of what the sayeth the lord Are you with me? so maybe The four gospels have been given and then you go to someplace and they're they don't have the four gospels And how do you give that? Well, that's got to be a revelation in many cases might be a supernatural revelation from god because You don't remember all this stuff or you need some help to to cut through it Are you with me? So fourth telling at that time was most important because they just didn't have the bible like we have So what you what are you guys talking about run? I'm catching the end. I think you're talking about i'm not sure but I don't see my friend asking questions anymore. So I'll respond it. So, uh, let me take let me take one last question Oh, I'm sorry. I have I have it up your mark. I'm sorry Craig says John 1526 the spirit of truth who comes from the father would this mean the holy yeah Yeah, that's that who it is that it's the the holy spirit This is jesus saying that when he leaves they're going to receive the holy spirit And then you're going to testify of him Uh, so yeah, clearly that that is that is definitely the holy spirit now muslims might say that that is Muhammad and it's not uh, wait a second. Hold on. I'm not sure if if I should ask what my answers question Given that men grow beards Naturally, why do men shave their beards to look more feminine? Well, no, there could be a lot of reasons that could be a lot Maybe because the way their hair grows it might irritate their it might irritate their skin That could be the reason Paul shaved Do we think paul was trying to be feminine? No paul shaved paul shaved so People ask this question. Why did I Do a video on about his shaving a sims like that Because folks ask questions. No, you shave your head and show your face. Is that that's a sin? No, it's not No, it's not a sin. Okay monkey moves that I can't grow a beard And everybody can't grow a beard like everybody else Um There's a part of mine that didn't grow in all the way at the very top part Um But thankfully I don't need one Thankfully I don't need one My wife makes me shave But uh Never forget this guy. Uh, this is in prison My buddy my buddy and so, you know, we we talk crazy each other He said uh, he said why don't you grow a beard? What? And I just told him I don't I don't need a beard to kick your butt. So but Now There are some super soft guys with beards. There are some super soft guys Uh, who do have beard? There's I mean who don't have beard. There's some tough guys With and without there are some manly men that hair on your face doesn't make you a man or not anyway All right, wonderful people of god Where's this guy? Okay. Yeah, you didn't show back up though, brother. You didn't show back up I just I was hoping I would have saw a different response from you though. Be honest with you Be honest with you guys don't get caught up in too much of the foolishness Just don't just don't read your scriptures Um avoid trying to impune someone if you don't have all of the facts assume that you might Not know everything correctly Um, assume that there might be another side what have you Um, and then go go forward I've always stated that whatever you think you whatever you think about whatever you're doing Be convinced in what you're doing Okay If you're going after a person going after a doctrine, you better be right. You better be right Hey, man Uh, not really not really. Uh, I haven't seen much guys. I really don't watch a whole lot um A whole lot of uh, a lot of other videos I watch some Oftentimes you might see me in a chat somewhere just to stick my head and say, hey, hello But I don't have any sort of time to to watch all this stuff so I haven't only watched them Yeah, monkey moves mustache and goatee now must you gotta I prefer you got something on your face Uh, I prefer you have what we call a lip hat, but look, you know a little mustache on that on that thing something Now if you don't have hair on your face anywhere in prison at least a mustache guys in prison will mess with you They will mess with you. They'll come to you. Hey boy. You sure look pretty you got Sometimes you don't know if you're playing or not so So Anyway, I've heard some things about him good and bad, but I haven't really checked into it and investigated myself. So I don't know I don't know I can't so I don't make a I won't make a statement about him one way or the other because I I just don't know And now there are some people that have been apologists Who are off on some other things but in the field of being apologists dealing with Muslims or atheists what they've done a wonderful job, but then they might William Lane Craig has said some some given some wonderful defense of of the gospel of of the of the faith But then then come back and say some stuff like I'm not Wait a minute, buddy. What are you saying? What are you doing? So Okay commander production says wise Wise do I like any street preacher? I pretty much like them all as long as they're out there preaching But now here's what's funny though when you look at the street preachers A lot of them not all so I'm not trying to say all them But a lot of them because I don't want you to say hey speaking with this person Some of those guys actually go out there looking for confrontation That's that I've done the street preaching before The way I I do it is not Get up and speak to a massive people Um, I'll just hey can I talk to you for a second and then kind of one on one Sometimes it's two on one or one on two Um, but If a person and I can't get into their heart I can't but if you're out there trying to share the gospel and you really mean it You really want these people to come to christ Then amen Now if you're doing it and you're always kind of confrontational because I don't you know what I'm not with hey this street preacher gets cussed out this preacher gets spit on this preacher gets jumped on whatever I'm not I'm not with that because put up some videos with where some people came to christ Or whether you know but as long as they're doing for the right reason Then amen Amen, I will never speak bad about you or your tactics or anything like that if if your heart is is uh is good Even if you never get any converts converse or if you get one Hey, you're doing it because maybe what you're doing is you're planting And then someone else comes back in waters But ultimately it's going to always be that god gives the increase. Amen All right guys, I look forward to seeing you guys tomorrow. Remember the bible study at 11 am central time. What is that 12 Eastern time. So anyway guys god bless you. I will see you all tomorrow
