 Good evening. Good afternoon. Hope you all are doing well. Someone thought that maybe the countdown was done away with no Absolutely not. It's a wonderful countdown. We're gonna keep the countdown But we'll also have different countdowns as well Someone said that Cory shouldn't be using a countdown because that countdown is some I don't know some some group or what have you? No, it's not No, it's not Someone else may have sampled it or what have you are borrowed it But no this little that little horn ensemble has been around for decades and decades Matter of fact my brother used to play in the band they had but anyway, anyway, whoever whoever it is using it They just have good tastes. That's all anyway. I want to cover something that honestly, I Think it'd be kind of fun But it needs to be brought out and and I think if we look at what are some of the most misused Misunderstood misquoted Bible verses I Think we're gonna see in some of them not all of them in some of them a theme now that being stated We're not gonna cover all of them. There's just no way because there's so many of us matter of fact some of them They're gonna have their own videos. Matter of fact, we're not going to cover Isaiah 54 17 it will be its own video. Matter of fact, it will be it'll be a bit of a response But it'll be a response to a response It just be gonna it's gonna be fun It won't be you know mean spirit or anything like that, but I'm gonna have some fun with it I'm gonna have some fun with it And so we'll cover that one, but there'll be some other ones as well That now by the way People with bad doctrine tend to miss mistake all of them anyway people with bad doctrine Abuse them an awful lot, but what we are going to see is even people with bad doctor good doctrine Sometimes still have some of the same problems, but I can promise you is one thing typically with people who have bad doctrine They tend to kind of selfishly look at the scriptures and Misapply them as though it's giving them great giving them great power And so I want to go ahead and and jump in a couple of those That being the case before we do though before we do how about we don't do it very often We don't do it very often. Let's go ahead and do the YouTube thing. Shall we what's the YouTube thing? The YouTube thing is where are you? Where are you where are you guys?

South Africa South Africa, Missouri as they say and they don't say Missouri They say Missouri. Amen. Anyway guys, I love you and Let's go ahead with that being said. Let's go ahead and jump into it I want to pick out I picked out a few and then what we'll do is hopefully, hopefully time permitting If you guys have some scriptures that you think ought to be on the list that you think You in Detroit is the apostle capital of the world really names from apostles from from Detroit I'm interested now who are who are some apostles in Detroit, New York has a pretty good amount of apostles don't they? So so too is you know what so does Texas. It's almost like there's there's we have a glut a Glut of Apostles don't we I thought yeah, but who are the who are the famous apostles from Detroit Keisha's and Barbados? Is that nice down there? But I want to know who are you because you got me thinking who are some famous apostles there So by the way, I saw a video today. I need to comment on it. I saw a video. I was sitting doing some work and I was watching Chris Roseboro's station for a second Saw a video Wow what what I saw I Decided I'm not gonna cover I'm not gonna say anything about it. But when I saw it it just What I saw anyway, go check out his video from the day Just when a demon's not cast out of you whose fault is it? I thought that was pretty pretty interesting pretty interesting Apostle Paul's from Detroit if Apostle Paul was from Detroit, he'd got jumped one thing for sure if he was from Detroit he'd left I'm kidding. I'm kidding. I'm kidding. I'm kidding. Do you know? Yeah geno's from from Philadelphia So that's that's one apostle in Philadelphia so anyway Let's go ahead and jump into it. Let's go ahead and jump into it and as Carol said have you all pressed the like Don't gonna have you press the like and I want you guys as we go through this I want you guys to hear what I'm saying and I want you guys. I'm saying and I want you guys to hear what I'm saying I put out an old video today about Halloween and I knew someone would would would not get it so three times in the video I put it in type that I am not advocating for Halloween No card disagree with you. You're wrong about this one wrong about what what am I wrong about it? Did I say hey, let's go trick-or-treating? So what I want people to hear what I'm actually saying that's all just hear what we're saying. So now Let's go to the first one. This one gets brought up a lot Matthew 1820 Matthew 18 matter of fact, I'll be honest. There have been times that I've used it myself Where two or three are gathered in my name. Let's put it back on the screen where two or three Where's that where two or three are gathered together in my name? I am there in in their miss and there's a typo which It's not a typo when I copy it from from the place that I copied it from there's a little letter there So let's put it on the screen. Let's put it on the screen and let's look at it Where two or three have gathered together in my name. I am there in the miss People use this passage sometimes to suggest that Any time that you get together if it's just two of us if it's just three of us Well, this is church. This is us having having church. And so the Lord is there in the midst of us There's a problem with that though, which by the way, he's there if there's two or three you all gathered That's not that that's it's okay. I accept the fact that he's there, but it's the premise or the why and It's also to say you what if it's just one of you So two or three or four or five or 20 But sometimes we take it as though all we need is just to and we can have church or all we need is three or four Or then we can have a prayer a prayer meeting But what if there's just one so if it's just you buy your lonesome does that mean that that he is not there? No, so what we want to do is let's look at the passage and let's look at it in Context now remember Jesus speaking about When someone is sinning and this is kind of in the in the whole vein of Discipline or bringing a brother to correction or possibly yourself being brought a correction That's what he says in chapter 18 verse 15. He says if your brother sins Go and show him your faults in private. That is Don't blast them. Don't put it out there. Let's not make a video about them. Let's not put it on Do they still have snapchat? Let's not put on a snapchat or MySpace or or Facebook or any other places or X now If he listened to you then what you have won your brother But if he does not listen to you take one or two more with you so that by the mouth of two or three witnesses Every fact may be confirmed that part is important by the way just in just just a practical note Do not take your best friend Don't Don't be upset with your with with a former friend or somebody else and then you take your cousin your best buddy Someone that's biased. Okay, that's that's not what you wonder because now you're gonna start a fight But now the reason why he says this so that by the mouth of two or three witnesses every fact may be confirmed Because what is he saying? He's saying in this way That way you got witnesses versus the Old Testament principle as well You don't just go and just say because you said that mean that it's true Okay, you'll find it in Deuteronomy 19 as well, which I have highlighted on the on the screen You can just do a cross-reference and look at this This is this is him piggybacking off of that but I was what he says if he refused to listen to them Tell it to the church now This isn't being taken to the entirety of the church, but it could be the entirety of the church It could just be certain people in the church. Maybe maybe the elders or what have you but take it to the church Let him be to you. I'm sorry And if you refuse to listen even to the church then let him be to you as a Gentile and a tax collector Truly, I say to you whatever you bind on earth shall have been bound in heaven and whatever you loose on earth Shall have been loose in heaven again I say to you if two of you agree on earth about anything that they may ask It shall be done for them by my father who was in heaven And so now he's saying that that this is kind of keeping in keeping with this principle that if we've got a kind of a grouping of People in the body and especially in this case we're we're also we have to include the fact that he's speaking to these apostles Because they're the ones that he says that Whatever you bind on earth will have already been bound and whatever you lose will are in this So they have this so they're going to have this connection with heaven Which oh by the way is another reason why we can also say that We don't have any modern-day apostles because they can't do this But he says for whatever you bind on earth will have already been bound and whatever you lose will have already been loose They're not actually binding and loosing but they are hearing from heaven and then moving accordingly And so here he says then he says for where two or three have gathered together in my name I am in their midst And so he's he's basically saying that whatever whatever the conclusion is how the matter is settled between you all Know that i'm there because again what they're doing is not something on their own They are really simply just verifying or validating what heaven has either placed on their heart Or has led them to conclude with regard to this person That might be sinning or this person that has done something wrong Okay, it's not to be taken that listen all we need is and listen it sounds nice And oh by the way, it's one thing that sounds nice and it is true Just not with this text. It is true that god is there if there's a couple of us together But he's there if none of us are together he he's literally there if all of us leave the room His presence is there or if it's just one of us one person With the holy spirit good By the way, if no one's there the holy spirit his presence is still there. Okay, so This is not really all that big deal. It's it's really it can be trivial But you just see it being brought a lot so This one though Does have some hefty implications. That is revelation three five He who overcomes will thus be clothed in white garments And I will not erase or blot out his name from the book of life And I will confess his name before my father and before his angels This one gets brought up an awful lot. This one gets brought up a lot And they read it To say what it absolutely doesn't say matter of fact They read it to say the opposite of what it says. So let's put on the screen Here we are in revelation three five. He says he who overcomes will be thus clothed in white garments And here's a part that gets Misunderstood and certainly misapplied And I will not erase his name from the book of life And for some reason people come back and say see that means you can possibly have your name blotted out No, you cannot not according to this passage look at it again, and I've asked folks Why do you think what in this passage? Why do you think there's something in this passage that tells you that your name can be blotted out? What in this passage? Indicates that your name can be blotted out because he literally says I will not Erase his name and we've covered this from the standpoint of the greek He says that he used the ume oxalipso, which is This this double negation Of a future active indicative. It's the strongest way along with a double negation of a subjunctive It's the strongest way to say it's impossible. So he's literally saying it's impossible For your name to be blotted out Now some will say though. Well, but you must overcome Well, I have it highlighted if there is no condition stated here There's no implied condition. There is no Grammatical key such as a henna or a hot tea something that or if a eon if you do this Then or if you overcome then your name will not be blotted out. No He he declares what these people are he'd declare. This is the honey cone. These are the overcoming ones So the overcoming ones thus Will be clothed in white. So what is he saying? He's saying that all of you who are overcomers All of you overcoming ones You will never have your name blotted out. It's impossible for your name to be blotted out in the future Yeah, but there's some conditions to become an overcoming Overcomerant. No, it's not First john tells us who the overcoming ones are the overcoming ones have been are those that have been born again Well, we're already told those the born those that are born again Have been caused to be born again And are thus overcoming and so this is a promise that if you are a believer You shall never ever ever have your name blotted out That's good. That's good news. That's shouting news Here's another passage that comes up and This one is one of those that sometimes we want to use you see it'll use a lot of times in political situations When someone is running for office someone has determined that hey vote for me. I'm going to change everything Or if you guys get on board and I get enough of you guys and we can change the course of this country Because this passage says and if my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face And turn from their wicked ways then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land That sounds good. That sounds wonderful. Problem is problem is that's not for us And we use it a lot of times in america especially in christian circles that if we just pray If we just as a nation turn our hearts to god if we just seek him Let's put it on the screen. Uh go to the The software here and my people and the reason why you you can go ahead and put the if Is because the if is already in the previous sentences Uh previous is but so if my people who are called by my name Now who are the people that are called by his name? If they humble themselves well, that's us cori. That's that's us christians. Okay Humble and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways That now by the way by the way I I had a discussion with someone and the guy pretty much just ended in his own discussion He says that well, this is us christians, but now this all this guy also believe that us as christians We don't sin So if it's christians and we turn from our wicked ways We'll that haven't we already done so as christians because he because in a previous argument he already agreed to that point So he kind of talked himself in and realized that this can't be Speaking about christians and by the way, look who wrote it. This isn't this is in second chronicles guys. This is this is for israel How do we know he says that I will hear from heaven and forgive their sin and I will heal Their land heal their land what land not our land Is he gonna heal america? What about all the other lads they do so so what if everybody in the so what about so they'll heal china and russia He'll all those places that that's not what he's saying He says matter of fact, let's just let's go back a little further and read read this kind of in In context chapter 7 verse 12 then the lord appeared to solomon, huh? At night and said to him I have heard your prayers and have chosen this place for myself as a house of sacrifice If I shut up the heavens so that there is no rain Or if I command the locusts to devour the land or if I send pestants among my people And my people who are called by my name humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways Then I will hear from heaven And forgive their sin and will heal their land. Well, what's happening at this time? Well, obviously israel is not The most obedient nation at this at this point in time I says for now I have chosen and consecrated this house at my name That I'm sorry my name That may heat that my name may be forever And my eyes and my heart will be there perpetually as for you where this is in israel guys As for you if you walk before me as your father david walked even according to all that I've commanded you And will keep my statutes and my ordinances then I will establish your royal throne As I coveted with your father david saying you shall not lack a man to rule in israel Where is this guys? This is in israel. This is not us now. It's nice to say and by the way Could we say that if all of us turned our hearts toward god and As a nation we all became christian. We all placed our faith all I don't know how many people live here now I don't know how many folks live here now, but 300 plus million people if we all placed our faith in christ and turned To heaven we'll we'll god then heal the land and rid them Okay One is not going to happen to again. The promise is not to us. It's to to israel It's not to israel And by the way at some point in time israel will do just that They just won't do it at this point in time. As a matter of fact, they have another scattering coming in just a little bit after that so Sometimes again one of the problems is what we call narsagesus You know what a narcissist is someone who's just so consumed with themselves Well, there are people that unintentionally become narcissists While exegeting the text they read themselves into it. We see this when it comes to promises of israel We see it when it comes to promises relating to Prophets and apostles people just want the blessings or people where there's a story You know, I can relate to that story. I can relate to that story But joseph was injured now. I like the story between of joseph. I really do joseph If I want to narsage the text The whole story of joseph I can see that because there were people that that that prophesied over my life and said core you're gonna be this this this this this And at the time I didn't know that I would go to jail and then joseph had a dream He went to your nervously different so different set of circumstances clearly We were both there for 13 years And we got out earlier than expected god remembered us That's not my story That's not my story and sometimes we do that. We'll we'll we'll invoke We're blessing the city blessing the field blessing we come blessing we go the head not to tell all okay That's not us and what you do is you set yourself up for a for a big letdown And so we tend to want to read into the bible if we find a story that looks nice or sounds nice or feels like You know what I would like that for it to be my story No And so that happens that happens certainly with that particular text as well As a matter of fact, here's another text that that happens like that as well Let me move this down to here Here's a text that happens where people oftentimes Want to read themselves into this and saying that this is us here is second I mean john Second john here is john 14 12 truly truly I say to you That he who believes in me the work that I do he will do also and greater works Than these he will do For some reason i'm sorry wrong wrong verse up for some reason people think That this is us being told that we're going to do greater things in terms of More power Better but that's not the case. No first of all What what could you do that he didn't do can you can you down the cross and pay for the things of everybody? Because if you can't do that then you can't do anything greater in terms of better No can't do that Uh, you certainly can't do the miracles that now there are people that think that they can do and perform some of the same miracles You can't when's the last person you raised from the dead? You don't even have to get grabbed somebody that's been dead for four days Go and go out there and I don't know raise a person that just died Go to the scene get you a police band radio A cb radio thing if that's what they're still called go out there And find the accident and then If someone is dead Then you can bring them back to life or you don't have to go to accident go to hospital Go to some hospice carry And as soon as they die Have no fear tis I I can do greater works than jesus. Let me raise you from the dead And then you and then what you do is you call them by name because you don't want to show off and then Raise everybody from the dead just so just call that person Myrtle who's 116 years old Come forth It's not gonna happen Okay, you can't do better things than him But what this is talking about is is look at the passage He says greater works than these you will do because I go to the father And the because this hot tea there's a condition right there that lets us know why he's doing that work That's highlighted on the right hand side of the Greek hot tea because because what because I go to the father Well, what does that have to do with anything? Well, that's why you'll be able to do greater works because I go to the father Well, so you go to the father and what does that mean? Well, what it means is I must go in order for him to come who's to him the holy spirit So if the holy spirit comes and what happens? He's in not just mean but he's in her you him them all of those people And so there's more representation more coverage Jesus wherever he went if he was in capernaum, that's where he was But now the body is such to where we are all over the world Carrying out his mission his ministry. Amen. So that's what that means It's not to be taken that we are some somehow special and endowed with that sort of power. No God doesn't need us to come out and show power. He could do it. He could do it better and without us All he wants us to do is just to show his loving kindness Uh to other people extended to other people by our hands by our mouth by our heart. Amen So and we are making good times. We probably will go ahead and have you guys submit some as well How about this one? How about this one is used? Kind of in the wrong sense first time 39 no one who was born of God practices sin Because his seed abides in him and he cannot sin because he is born of God But what do you guys think do you think that means? You won't sin can't sin impossible sin Let's put on the screen first John And let's start in verse six. No one who abides in him sins Okay, no one who who sins has seen him or knows him Now if we just start stop right there does that mean Does that mean? That any person that's born of the spirit who has the spirit inside of them that person didn't sin Is that what that is saying? No, it can't be It can't be I'll give you a clear example of someone who we know Had the Holy Spirit in them And did sin If we go to Galatians 2 Paul confronts peter For a sin as a matter of fact he was causing other people Barnabas and others to also sin So therefore they had the Holy Spirit the seed of God is in them. Did they sin this cannot be taken as though a person Cannot sin or will not sin now am I stating that a person Has to sin. No, I think people miss that to say that Corey's teacher or someone says no, we're going to sin. We need to know we're not saying that you need to sin Listen any sin that you commit you could you could have avoided that sin There's no such thing that says that you have to sin Someone we're saying we're saying though that if you do sin as he says in 1st John 1 That there is someone an advocate on your behalf And so therefore therefore this can't mean that but what does he say? Let's drop down to verse I'll just go to verse 8 the one who practices sin is of the devil And we need to hone in on that word. This word the Hapoeon the one that's doing the sin what I have that highlighted The one that's doing the sin is of the devil For the devil has sinned from the beginning The Son of God appeared for this purpose to destroy the works of the devil. How did he do so? That part is important. It wasn't just tossed in there He says that the Son of God appeared for this purpose to destroy the works of the devil Well, what did he say in places like Ezekiel in the Old Testament that when he puts his spirit in us He's going to cause us to walk in his statutes in his teachings in his commandments So What did Jesus come and do to get rid of that and to change that? Are we going to walk perfectly? No As a matter of fact, Paul indicates that no one who is born of God practices Sin because his seed abides in him and he cannot sin because he is born of God That literally means guys that you are not your desire for sin. You won't have that desire for sin Your sin is different than the the unbeliever who sins Because the unbeliever who sins his desire is different This is what paul is bringing up. He says the the evil that I don't want to do I practice that he paul literally uses the word I practice that He'll say he and he's the word that I'm doing the thing the thing that I don't the evil that I want to stop doing That's what I'm doing and he uses the same word that's used here poyone He uses that same word poyé, you know poyé, oh he's that same word in roman 7 So if we go back and watch that we'll see that wait a second paul paul You must not be saved paul because john says that if you sin Then you're of the devil. You're a sinner paul. It's not what he's saying So even those of us who might struggle with something And like dawg on it because don't we all say dawg on it you say dawg on it. I hate when I do that I don't mean to sin. I keep sending dawg on it lord help me Well, my desire my desire because I have a new heart a new disposition has changed By the way, how many of you guys say dawg on it? How many of you all say dawg on it more now than you ever did? Good for you good for you by the way Dina says no one you knows says that says dawg on it was because you're in wrong you're on the wrong part of the country Down here where the good folk are in uh in in texas. By the way, could I ask you guys a question? I saw something funny And it's got people talking I must I must ask you guys a question because we're making good time And so this is going to actually end up becoming a q&a But they had this thing out and so maybe I'm just interested in and you guys I want to start a fight Let's start a fight in the chat There's the the hunger games deal I think I saw one of the hunger games But they got them divided in sections and so if the united states was divided in sections How did anyone decide that the one that the one with texas all the way to florida so from florida All the way to texas is one section That's just That's listen. I love indiana, but that's the winning section That's the winning section Pacific Northwest. Sorry guys, but you guys gonna get killed You guys are gonna get killed. Sorry. You guys won't survive Sorry, you won't even be able to beat california Yeah, you guys soon as the coffee runs out. You're in trouble so Here's one that We've seen it a lot We've seen this a lot Philippians 4 13. I can do all things through him or through christ who strengthens me I told you guys before that when I was When I first got introduced to christ I don't know that I placed my faith in christ because if I did boy, I sure lived like I didn't But we were How old were we? Let me think about this. We lived here in him. So This was like 79 80. Yeah, 79 80 And there was a Yeah, 79 80 81 somewhere they're about And We there's this group youth for christ They would come and pick us up You couldn't do that now because people think the people that are coming do it look a little bit suspicious These are older men who had a concern for christ and they're coming around picking up boys You do that now they're gonna report you but back then they would take us we'd go to uh Here's here's a blast from the past. They would take us to burger chef Yeah, some people don't know what burger chef is burger chef or they may take us to mcdonald's We would sit get a burger and just read the bible and we would memorize scripture That was one of the first scripts that I remember I could do all things through christ who strengthens me As a matter of fact, that would be how we would get a hamburger if you memorize the scripture Then there you go. And so we had a baseball team Uh the yfc angels We were horrible We were horrible, but We had the little verse on our on our on our jerseys because we can do anything through christ We're gonna win this game I can do anything. I can I can get I can survive in You name it I can get straight a's because I can do all things through christ who strength and whatever it is I just pointed that passage and it's kind of my magic phrase to kind of get me through Problem is that's just not really what that passage is saying That's not what and so let's go to the passage and let's see what paul is actually talking about paul is covering some things he says Uh word. I want to start off it Verse eight He says finally brethren, whatever is true whatever is honorable whatever is right whatever is pure whatever is What is lovely whatever is a good repute If there is anything excellent if anything worthy of praise well on these things the things that you have learned and received And heard and seen in me practice these things The god of peace will be with you But I rejoiced in the lord greatly and that now at at last you have revived your concern for me Indeed you were concerned for me before But you lacked opportunity not that I speak from what For I have learned to be content In whatever circumstances I am I know how to get along with humble means and I also know how to live in prosperity And in every circumstances I have learned the secret of being filled and going hungry both of having abundance and suffering me I can do all things what things The things that he just spoke about I can do all those things through him Who strengthens me nevertheless? You have done well to share with me. And so what is he speaking of? He's just speaking of whatever these you're going through god has given you enough strength to make it through So if you're suffering Now that's quite a bit that's quite a bit of a change from how people have misused his past And you all have seen this past has been misused out of context over and over and over again No, this is that whatever it is you're going through you can make it You can make it you got it. I've got I've got confidence in you. I got I believe you can make it There was a guy who was who was uh, uh in front of the judge true story The judge was sentencing him. I think to 25 years in prison 25 years in prison And now I know this is true because the guy that that that's happened to he's telling us the story. He is him He's telling us what happened God god The judge gives him 25 years in federal prison It's a lot of time 25 years and you got to do 85 percent of that And he said he was just so distraught so shook up He was crying and he said you're on I can't I can't do it. He was just he was just inconsolable And they were gave him some time and got him some tissue Maybe thought the judge was gonna go, you know what I changed my mind. I'll go easy on you No, he says you're on I can't I can't do this. I can't do this time. He said no I'm not gonna be able to do it And the judge just looked at him says we'll just do as much as you can Okay, well then what then what so but Yeah, so Do what you can No, but god god has said paul is saying that Um, I can do all these things through christ restricted. Now by the way, if you notice what he says though Paul actually didn't say that you can do all these things through christ You can apply it to you. I'm not saying that you can't But he says I can do these things. He's why because paul has said I have learned That in whatever state I'm in I'm content And so because of that I've been taught that I can do these things. Why because it's christ. I'm doing it I'm going through this suffering I'm going through this being being a base being lord. I'm going through this But it's through christ not that christ is the cause of it But my my strength is in him. Amen I didn't really want to cover this one, but I'll put it up anyway because This one certainly gets Mistaken a lot For the love of money is a root of all sorts of evil And some by longing for it have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs And so let's put that on the screen He says for the love of money Is A root not the root It's not the love of money is the root No It's a root there is no definite article there and there is no implied definite article there Root risa risa garpantan, which is so root for all Sources of evil for all sorts of evil for all of the evil Now by the way, this is not all of the evil. This is not saying that money is A root for all the evil It's a root for all sorts of evil. Now is the source there? No But is money a root for all of the evil? No No How do we know what because someone might get upset with someone had nothing to do with money and just decided to just do something evil Do something wicked what you see happening in israel a lot Is there some that might be financially motivated may be possible? I don't know But what we saw some of the atrocities that wasn't that wasn't related to money. That was just pure evil Just pure evil and so it says A root of all sorts of evil and some by longing for it There it is. It's the longing for the money. It's not that money in and of itself is bad It's not that it's just by longing for this this unnatural this unhealthy desire for it Is the problem And by the way when the people that that desire and long for it when they get it, they're just as wicked They're just as messed up. They're they're just as who knows Getting money is not going to help you out. Now if you want to if you want to have money And you want to be blessed when you get money learn how to be Wise and good stewards of the money that you do have Thinking that if you got a few more dollars that came in a few more over here than you'd know because you would just mess that up You would spin spin spin spin spin spin spin and it would go and go out and blow on it No, what you do is become a better steward of what you have right now. I'll never forget. I had this conversation I think I told you this before I had a conversation um, I used to be on the radio and I was talking to uh, the co-host about poor people Taking their money and investing it and how they could just Do what's called dollar cost averaging taken 25 dollars a week or probably more at this time But it's a set interval At a set time. I'm gonna set interval with a set dollar amount 25 35 50 dollars a week What have you and just put it into something and just watch it grow Right and you can you can diversify amongst that if you want to put in mutual funds However, you want to do it but that's not necessarily the issue But just having that mentality well people don't have that kind of money He says his brother courier aren't people poor out here and the people are broke and I said well if you go to a certain part of Dallas One of the poorest areas They had these little row houses in southern Dallas south Dallas Over by the fair we call it fair park if you go there You would see on these little row houses these little they're just you know, low in ultra low-income houses and this was 90s late 90s Uh, you would notice something you would notice that they all had satellite dishes on top And in the in the late 90s early 2000 those weren't cheap So they could afford to have satellite direct tv or what was the other one dish? They could afford that But they couldn't afford to the you know, so money isn't a problem. It's it's us It's us and our heart Ultimately, but we wanted to get that money to do to to fulfill the desires of our heart because our heart is wicked We'll connive and do other things to get it. They're in lies to problem They're in lies right now. I said before That I would cover some other things that i'm not going to cover just yet Why because there are some videos that I want to kind of get some time to Um, let me just and he might be listening. I'll I'll let him know. No, I know I won't no I won't I'll I'll text him when I'm getting ready to put the video out But the issue of isaac 54 17 As well as Jeremiah 29, you know, let me pull up Jeremiah 21 But isaac 54 17 that Uh, oh lord, what does the pastor say? My mind just went blank Oh, no weapon formed against you shall prosper my I had to let it come to my head No weapon formed against yourself prosper and I said that's not us And So I'm gonna I'm going to come back and cover that Uh at another time, but let me let me go to this Jeremiah passage Because it gets brought up. I don't know why people think this this applies to them, but For I know the plans that I have for you declares the lord plans for welfare and not for calamity to give you a future And to hope is that us Sounds nice Sounds good. This is us. Narcissus cheating though. I wanted I want this to be me I want this to be me Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me and I will listen to you You will seek me and find me when you search for me With all your heart. I will be found by you declares the lord and restore your fortunes And and will gather you from all the uh, wait a second, huh? Could that be me Could that be you Because he says and I will gather you from all the nations And from all the places where I have driven you That's not us Ladies and gentlemen, that's not us I understand it's a nice story. I understand this this I like this I like this You can like it, but it's not you You can like it, but it's not you Be glad that god has these plans for who? For israel So anyway She said it you hear my 29 is my verse, but now listen Let me say this though When we see verses like this We can be happy for them Um But it doesn't mean that god has I just got some bad news. I just got some bad No, no, no, no, no My daughter my oldest daughter has some puppies And so she's texting I I got a hairpin quick now because she's texting my my my other daughter to try to get us to get one of those dogs Nope. Nope. Nope. Nope. Nope. No, I I know what they're up to they want to do it while I'm online I will I will shut this live stream down No No, and look now. Now she's got my wife involved. No, let me just type in Oh, hold on guys. Hold on. Let me let me multitask. No Here we go They are sneaking They are sneaking so anyway But if there are promises for israel, okay, there are also promises for you There are because you know israel never had israel never had the holy spirit in them like we do He's shown you do you do how many of you Feel unloved by the lord I Don't I don't I feel like I feel like Um, the promises that he has for them, they're fine, but he's got some promises for me I just read one of them earlier Matter of fact, let me read another one. Let me read another one. Let let me read the passage that I alluded to in first john By the way, if you've got some some scriptures or what have that you want me to cover Go ahead and and put a giant cue or question beside it And I'll start marking those in just a little bit Um, but first john and I is it five or four Here it is How about this is a promise Your versions would say just like this things whoever believes this is pas habistouan. We know though. We know that phrase, don't we? pas habistouan The believing ones the ones who's believing that christ is the jesus christ is born Of god and it says they have been born So if you are a believer you have been born of god So you are one of the believing ones you have past tense with the present ongoing ramification And all the ones who love the child are born of him By this we know that we love the children of god when we love god and observe his commandments for this is love This is the love of god that we keep his commandments. We are told that we're going to keep him Perfectly. No, but he's going to cause us to walk in his statues and his commandments are not burdensome for whatever is born of god And the word is Pond so whoever it is whatever it is those of us that are born of god What is he promised? We are overcomers We are going to overcome the world So isn't that just as great as any other promise that anyone else can get? Sure, and this is the victory that we have overcome the world our faith So by our faith he's caused so we are going to overcome the world Oh, by the way, this faith he produced that faith in us So we don't have to really worry about whatever's happening. We don't have to worry about what is being told to anyone else He's giving us enough promises. So yes Jeremiah 29 11 Is a wonderful passage for them, but we've got wonderful passage ourselves and no maria not getting a puppy We're not getting a puppy I feel like calling my wife right now until no no puppy She's got animals on my wife is my wife and my kids are trying to fill this house up with puppies And then she says one of the I don't want to repeat that. She says one of the dogs is The runt of the litter might be a little slow Yeah, I don't I don't want a slow dog in the house here. We got two old dogs already Uh, let's see Let me mark some of these Okay, jay, do you mean all of third john too? I haven't looked at it. So I don't know how big that is Okay I am marking some of these down right now you all can see beside if you see a star beside you see I'm marking it Okay All right, so let's start let's start with with those Let's start with those. Okay If I see some okay God three eight that is all that is so taken out of context over and over again Too often as a matter of fact and it's used to just put people give them some guilt. That was my daughter. Okay I'm sorry. I'm just marking a few more guys We'll see how many we can get to Okay All right, let me By the way, jay, hope thank you for that the uh the super chat but more than that. Thank you for the nice compliment What about second timothy 2 15? Second timothy 2 15. Alrighty, let's put on screen Be diligent to uh to present yourself approved to god as a workman who does not need to be ashamed accurately handling the word of truth um, okay, so Are you saying that that is a A difficult passage that's that's misapplied Uh, well a couple things one and you can apply it to yourselves. This is actually paul speaking to timothy um What this is best applied to Is to those who are supposed to be in the ministry Remember paul is leading timothy or telling timothy how to go about planning church and choosing other elders And he gives him a qualification gives him a hymn and he gives the qualifications to to titus By the way, and I mentioned this before When talking about certain positions and so forth um They want to some people want to assume For just for the sake of of making sure that women can become pastors or elders or teachers or what have you They reference the fact that that that at this moment timothy is in emphasis And so there's something bad happening in emphasis, but they didn't just and the point is they don't just stay in emphasis They they move all over there churches that are planted all throughout Uh, northern africa in asia mine are all throughout and so this principle is to be applied for all of them. So Uh, but now can we also use this as well? We could we could um, but it's it's still more aptly applied to Those who are to be elders what have you but again, I think it I think it also is Um, beneficial for those who are not in ministry just regular layman Okay, so when you say Let's let's go there first okay Beloved, uh, I pray that in all respects, uh, you may prosper and be in good health just as you're a soul prosper Um, this is often used and I don't think I don't really don't have a problem with it be even being used Uh, when people want to you know Use as relates to financial blessings But it's not necessarily for financial blessings Uh, you can cover that beloved. I pray that in all respects that you may prosper Doesn't necessarily mean financially that you would just prosper that you'd be well Be well, um And be in good health Even as your soul prospers Now the most important thing though just as your soul process cathol's is just as your soul is prospered So the the the preeminent thing is that your soul be prospered Who care less if you got money who care less is if you if you're doing physically well all of them I don't care about um, you know, you got a you got a clean house. You got a nice job You got good friends with none of that matters if you're soul in prospering So the the emphasis is on the soul is where I was very glad When brethren came and testified to your truth that is how you are walking in truth I have no greater joy than this to hear of my children walking through. So that's the whole point That's the emphasis here, uh, that john is bringing out. Amen All right. Well, I keep doing that First Thessalonians 4 13 through 17. You gave me a bunch of scriptures. Okay, let's go there But we do not want you to be uninformed brethren about those who are asleep So that you will not grieve as do the rest who have no hope For if we believe, uh, that Jesus died and rose again Even so God will bring with him those who have fallen asleep in Jesus For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, excuse me Uh, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord Will not proceed those who have fallen asleep for the Lord himself will descend from heaven With a shout with the voice of an archangel and with the trumpet of God and the dead in Christ will rise Then he who then we who are alive and remain will be caught up together Uh with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air so that and so we shall always be with the Lord Therefore come from one another with these words now, and I'm pretty sure this is what what you brought this out for but in my hermeneutic Uh, this is us being brought up raptured Now the word that the word that's being used there is the word but this being Uh, where's I'm looking for the word here it is this word, uh, harpiso or harpaso Uh, the latin word is where we get this word rapture from so is the word rapture No, but the greek word is just to be caught up. So at the great caught up Not the great rapture, but the great caught up Now the reason why this isn't his second coming is because He's not landing on the ground. He's not touching on the ground at the second coming He's told us what's going to happen that his foot is going to touch place touch down on the mount And on that mountain it'd be split into this doesn't happen will be caught up and meet him in the air By the way, they were they were concerned About what is going to happen These uh paul is writing them concerning them. I mean to to comfort them He says therefore comfort one another with these words Which would make it strange if someone is to take that you know what I think we're also going to go through whatever whatever the world's going to go through as well We're going to go through well, then if we're talking about this this these problems that are going to come Uh, and we'll go through this great rat this tribulation. Well, then how are we going how are we being comforted? That just that just seems odd That seems odd But and he says we do not want you to be uninformed brother about those who are falling asleep. And so There are those who have gone on to be with the lord, but he'll bring them back They'll be caught up Now how this works mechanically don't know god hadn't told us this He hadn't told us how he's going to put the bodies together and so forth and be caught up So we have no idea But we do know this though that as we get this body This new glorified body that he speaks of also in 1st Corinthians This is part of him getting us ready for this rain That he is going to have I believe this is me You all may disagree. Well, I won't cover right now, but just for sake of time But we'll be caught up Then at this moment now, how many people are going to be here have no idea How many people will be believers at this time don't know Uh The percentage of people that are on this earth that are actual believers is shrinking So I would say now I don't have I don't have the numbers to back that up because there's no way I can know who truly is Uh, but we see according to scriptures that these times are getting worse and the hearts of many are waxing cold And many people will be led astray with depart from the belief not believing but from the belief So in that sense I have I'm I'm confident that one we won't go through the trouble that is prescribed for Israel will go through Uh, we'll be taken away from this and then he comes back in 2nd, Thessalonians and comforts him says you haven't missed anything Okay. Oh, there it is Romans 11 29 I think I know what this is Romans 11 29 for the gifts and the calling of god are irrevocable And you're asking does this relate to spiritual gifts or does it relate to? um Israel When I was in my charismatic church I've been a cost of church We would always use this passage To state yeah, this is about spiritual gifts for the gifts And calling of god are irrevocable And we see the word gift and think well this must must refer to spiritual gifts No First of all if we just simply read in in the context What did he just say let's go to verse let's turn verse 24 No 25 I do not want you to rather than be uninformed of this mystery So that you will not be unwise in your own estimation that a partial hardening has happened to There's that word that dirty word that some folks don't like to hear Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in And so all Israel will be saved just as is written So who will be saved Israel the deliverer will come from Zion. He will remove ungodliness from Jacob that is Israel this is my coming with them when I take away their sins From the standpoint of the gospel. They are enemies for your sake, but from the standpoint of God's choice They are beloved for the sake of the fathers for and there it is For the gifts and calling and there's the word God So it's post-pastoral for the gifts and calling of God are irrevocable So clearly this is referring to Israel and not spiritual gifts. Amen Okay, what just happened over here Alrighty, let's go a few more questions. Yeah, let's do a malachi 38 And people say this forcefully too, don't they Chaos muffin Don't people say this passage forcefully passers will use this passage so forcefully I mean it will make you feel bad about yourself. Shall a man rob God? Matter of fact, they won't say God it'd be God. You know how they I don't know their their english Dialect changes a little bit sometimes and by the way if your pastor does that I'm just I'm just suspicious of him But will a man rob God yet you are robbing me But you say how have we robbed you in tithes and offering You are cursed with the curse for you are robbing me the whole nation of you The whole nation of you, huh? The whole nation that should be a giveaway shouldn't it which nation all of us americans All of us americans are robbing. Is that what that's not what he's speaking. Yeah, that is not what he's speaking Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse So that there may be food in my house and test me now in this says the lord of hosts If you will not if I will not open up the windows of heaven and pour out for you a blessing until it overflows Then I will rebuke the devourer For you so that it will not destroy the fruits of your grave. How many times have you given money? And it didn't something that the devourer was reviewed very much Uh, nor were your vine in the fields cast. It's great says the lord of hosts all the nations will call you blessed Will call me blessed or call this nation less This is not about us guys. This is about Israel and again. These are I think this is um I don't want to call it a dirty double cross But it's just not cool to tell people that uh, they have robbed god you robbed god Okay, and I've seen some listen. I've seen some wonderful sermons about giving Even about tithing like man, this is I feel like going in my pocket right now But you're using this incorrectly use the same verse. I mean the the same energy To if you want to kind of push people into giving on their own But don't make them feel like they have some sort of compulsion to give a certain percentage now if you want to give If you want to give a certain percentage Praise god, if you decide, you know what I want to give 10% Okay, you're not going to hell if you don't you haven't broken a commandment if you don't So that's the whole point And we literally just covered that uh gladdus Touch not my anointed and do my anoint my prophet no harm Well, first of all, it's gotta be profit, but nowadays everybody's a prophet. So it must mean me well We saw how the prophets were prophets in in the old and when david brings us up we see We see who he's referring to It's interesting that you don't see this used again In the new testament you don't see this Being used in the new testament. So It's one of the ones that people who are in some of these what they call the five fold ministries where there really is No five fold to it You see them use that because they don't want anyone to say anything about them Hush, don't talk about us. How dare you speak a word to us prophets even though we've given false prophecies many times So my question is what about other prophets? See if a prophet is someone that brings about a revelation of god Well, then fine fine. I'm I'm like this I feel this way if you're a prophet, well, then fine be a prophet Be a prophet because guess what? Two can play at that guy. I'll say two and put it one finger two can play at that game two can play at that game So you're a prophet. So am I I'm a prophet. So are you Now our prophecies a little bit different our prophecies We're just going to go and open the book and give a revelation you don't tell me this isn't a revelation So I'm a prophet too. So when I come to you And I rebuke you One prophet to another prophet That you need to hear you need to hear it. You need to heed it. You listen. You get right See I solved it I solved it. So therefore guess what? And I I love I love to kind of you know, give it back to them I love to give it back to them. The problem is though these guys a lot of these guys are so un un well, what's we're disinterested in Covering the topics that they take out of context They are so interested in finding someone to cover them someone to This is for uh them to How to put this? They don't want they don't want people to to to use the scriptures to come back and say listen. I want to I'm curious Because I can it's okay for me to be curious. Just don't question me It's okay for you to be curious about what I'm believing what I'm teaching. Just don't question me Especially don't question me in in front of anybody Yeah, don't don't do that because I don't have the wherewithal to back up what I'm saying and of course paul says for timothy and these elders To be able to rightly divide the word But no no Because by the way if if if I'm found out that I'm wrong Uh, I told one guy who is fairly I won't say who it is fairly well known he he heard a debate matter of fact, I'll say the debate he heard the debate or this was about a year ago two years ago I'm not sure what it was when alan par and and um Marcus writers had a discussion on tongues And then afterwards This person did a response video and in his response video. He says I learned so much. There's some things I didn't I didn't know that it was basic things. These were basic things And so I said how in the world are you just now knowing this? How are you a pastor and you didn't know this this is like Pretty basic Well, that didn't go over too well, but I'm sorry People don't want to sing as though they don't know what they what they have built their Professional careers off of so Hold on. Okay. Let me let me Someone would throw roman 331. Let's go to wrong. Let's go to roman 331 Let's go to roman 331 Do we didn't nullify the law through faith may never be on the contrary. We established the law So this is where someone might want to say that our working keeping the law is how we validate our faith That is not what paul is saying um, what then matter of fact, let's just kind of read a little Further up Where then is the bolstering is it excluded by what kind of law of works? No, but By a law of faith for we maintain that a man is justified by faith Apart from works of the law and so to come back and bring in 31 to say no, you show your faith by keeping the law No, that's not what no not at all now Can you see and not the law but by your actions A change in somebody sure might look like but not always Not always, but you but you're right. That passage is people do use that um Again incorrectly. Okay. I already answered that one. I answered that one Do I believe in total depravity? It depends on what you mean by total poverty I believe that we are totally depraved, but if that if that means to the extent that we can't make a decision No, and the reason for that is because all throughout the old covenant. Oh come the old testament We see people who do not have the holy spirit in them make decisions We see them even make positive affirmations towards god matter of fact all of isra did so Their elders did so and they were not They did not have the holy spirit So you could do so. It's just can you do it? continually Which is why the the bible refers to us as christians as the believing ones as believing And uh in a state of continual believing That's why that participle is used that present active participle And so we enter into the state of believing one time continually in the old They could believe but it wasn't continually There that's why they had all these different things to kind of Come behind after they sinned because they kept saying they couldn't they they wouldn't keep believing and so Now we've got something different that's happened that namely the holy spirit that lives in us And so I don't hold to total depravity in the sense that we are too depraved to where we can't even Believe for a moment or believe temporarily. Do I believe that we can that anybody on the planet can can believe temporarily Well, sure. I believe that we can believe temporarily How do I know so because jesus literally says that we can believe temporarily because he tells us in luke 8 And I keep going back to this past because this is jesus speaking jesus saying In this parable that there are those who believe for a while And so you can believe for a while. It's just that you won't have if you don't have the spirit in you If your heart hadn't been regenerated, you won't keep believing. Amen. Okay Let me take a few more Jeff asked a good question When you when you find out You let me know he says what passages are? Misused to come up with spiritual israel none. So matter of fact, though, I shouldn't say none I shouldn't say none. It's not like these people don't use passages, but Clearly out of context for example One of the passages that comes up And I'm sorry calvinist friends. I listen. I love you to death and you all know You all know that if anyone says something bad about calvinist Then i'm joining the spot. I'm coming to fight. I'm coming to fight for you But on this it tends to be more calvinists That take the that takes roman's 1911 out of context or some things you can apply To what they're trying to say, but the point of roman's 1911 is about israel And so when it talks about how we've been grafted into well again, we cut this before we'll do it again But the grafting in and we're not grafted. Remember the bible says that branches were broken off Branches were broken off. Why so the other branches we've broken in high sweeties So the branches we broke. I mean grafted in well, we are not grafted into the broken branches No, so imagine Here's the I'm not doing this on purpose. I'm just saying these are the brand. I mean, this is the the root. This is the tree There are branches Some branches were broken off What are the branches that were broken off israel? But then some branches were grafted in those branches that were grafted in were not grafted into the other branches Those if that were the case you'd be grafting to something that's broken off. You were grafted into The tree into the root which is christ And so that's one of them. They'll go to israel that god gave israel a divorce actually Gave the northern tribe a divorce but not juda, but then he says juda was more treacherous than her Was was worse than her treacherous sister israel Or to have it backwards either way But then he goes when we talk about how he is Still with israel and so the point is And so the point is It's a desire to make us israel and now let me say this and i and and Oh lord, what is her name? My promise i was going to do this week this week. I'll do it next week because i'm i'm going to Say something to some people Not in a mean spirited way, but I don't have a problem with Someone saying this about dispensationist or that about dispensationist Where I get a little bit ticked off it. I don't mean ticked off in a bad way But ticked off and since that wait a second you talk about my hermeneutic When when someone has a problem with a dispensational hermeneutic Let me let me drink my cup of coffee. This is why I have a problem with a with my Dispensational hermeneutic now that you have to become a dispensationalist That's not the point you don't have to because there are people who are dispensationalists who differ a little bit with me But we have a the same hermeneutic The same hermeneutic is the one that you've been using all your life It's the one that you were taught in school It's the one that every other culture on the planet also uses It's the one that we naturally use. It's the one that if you if you read a menu If you read some instructions, it's the hermeneutic that you use. It's the natural hermeneutic Well, of course, that means am I saying being wooden and uh, Lateral not literal but lateral no We don't understand that there are Types, um There are similes There's metaphors. There's idioms We get that And they tend to be pretty easy to see They tend to be pretty easy easy to see especially if we look at context And my solo script to her brothers don't tend to do that. Why because they pushed this Tends to be more coveted theology and that This espouses That the church has replaced israel Where this came about because I heard someone say this and I had to I had to I said something back. They said that this dispensational hermeneutic is where people like the heberizalites get their hermeneutic Why because they call themselves israel? They call themselves israel. So no um But here's the truth It was The covenant theology that was hoisted for people to justify whatever was done to israel in the past Not all of them. No matter fact the folks that hold that weren't even live then But there were a lot that was that was done there. We are the new israel These people are are these are the people that killed our messiah These are the people that killed that go back and look at history. These are people that killed jesus To kind of make it something, you know almost making this Um justifiable what's going to happen to israel? That it happened now. Am I blaming covenant theology on this? No But there were those that would hold to it and then there were those that would twist it And say yeah, we've replaced israel. No, you didn't I gave him some passages that he said that he just says that he knows the promises that he has for them He literally says I know the promise that I've made with you for you. Well, that's israel I'm promising. I'm gonna bless you israel. I'm gonna bless you so much. I'm gonna replace you No Now i'm curious chaplain You say you have a gospel centered covenantal theological hermeneutic. What in the world does that mean? So now here's how we do this Here's how we do this When you say you have a gospel central centered Covenant covenantal theological hermeneutic Which is fine You gotta explain it For example, when I say I have a literal grammatical historical hermeneutic, I can break the I can break it down. So Literal means I'm reading it as it literally stands in the plain fashion Grammatical that means rule of the rules of grammar apply Historical the context History involved in that. So what has happened in the past leading up to what's happening now So I have a literal grammatical historical hermeneutic. So now you say a gospel center a gospel centered Covenantal theological hermeneutic. What would you say all roads lead to christ? Well, I think in my hermeneutic all roads lead to christ I think in mine all roads leads christ. So so help me out brun. I'm not trying to jump on you Love you to death brother, you know But what does that mean all roads lead to christ because I think the same thing too I think in in a dispensational hermeneutic In a dispensational hermeneutic you have to notice what's what we're pointing to so for example when we look at at the bible says on saturdays And we're covering so far all we have is israel But haven't we noticed how they all they all point to christ And so even in the dispensational hermeneutic it still points to christ It still let lets us know what he's going to do It still tells us and as we read it. They don't know who christ is, but they get there So it's it's of no wonder that the very first people to place their faith in christ is is our jews And it was promised for them to do so And then we look at these prophecies these prophecies also for israel also point them to christ especially again isaac 53 Zachariah does the same thing. So to the Jeremiah Um, so to this hosea. So i'm i need and i and you're not the only one You're not the only one i've heard of other people say that i have a christ-centered hermeneutic Well, what does that mean? You've got to define that see i can define a literal grammatical historical hermeneutic and it doesn't have to be subjective Because you know exactly i'm i'm laying the rules of how we do this So i'm consistent all the way through Whether i'm in genesis Whether i'm in psalms Whether i'm in malachi Of the gospels or revelation I get that you said in other words i see how how all scriptures point to christ And how he has worked through covenants to redeem his people Sound like you ought to be a literal grammatical historical hermeneutic. That's what it sounds like to me That's what it sounds like to me because i promise you this If you if by the way, you literally read it the way i read it for 90 of the bible probably more than that you you literally do We will we know each other in heaven will know each other will we will we know each other from earth? Well, i know. Yeah, listen. I know tyrone. I know mildred. I know betty. I know fred From earth do do you remember when we were over? I don't know. I don't know the bible just doesn't say I don't I don't know It'd be hard to say it would be hard to say a second Okay, jay. I gotta ask you a question. You bring this up a lot. I see I see you bring this up a lot um Can I ask you a question? This is this is this just me and you This is just me and you I want to ask you a question Why does that that that seems to be a big issue with you? And so I want to know if uh, oh I wonder if you can tell me why let's talk Why because I've seen sometimes where you'll put in comments and you you just are on this whole thing about Accepting christ and I see you I've seen sometimes in the live Hour before we go we go on you're talking about Excepting christ and it's wrong now Biblically speaking we don't accept christ We do not accept christ However In people's minds Who have not worked it out yet? They might think yeah, I accepted christ Because of what he did I believe that what he did and so in their mind they they Listen, sometimes people can't fully Verbalize what has happened They for example The seven-year-old the eight-year-old You start throwing doctrine and theological terms their way Huh I just know jesus loves me. I just know i'm a sinner Um as this one as the little girl said I just know that sometimes I'd be bad It's what she says I'd be bad, but jesus makes it so that I don't have to go to hell because He died on the cross for my sin Bam Bam she she's there right she's good. She might not understand everything And and lord, please don't ask her to explain the trinity. She she could she probably couldn't even spell trinity much less explain it Sometimes we we guys we do have to remember the most important thing Is that you place your faith in christ And if you have placed your faith in christ Believe that what he and what does that mean? That means that What he did was necessary to pay the debt that I couldn't pay the debt that I'm owed that I owe because of my sin I'm no good And someone who's more than good Payed the debt that I couldn't pay And so because of that I believe that god accepted the debt And now I'm saved that's the gospel and not only that I'm saved forever So Let's make that first Then if we start dealing with the other things One saved always save y'all know me Or tongues or what have you or baptism or whatever the most important thing is did you place your faith in christ? Yes, I did I placed my faith in christ But they cannot fully Arrange that into words just yet but Theologians be speaking biblically speaking Okay, see jamey It's biblically correct to say that that he accepted us. We don't accept him. He accepts us Now if you want to say That we accept him after he accepts us. I don't problem with that We choose him after he chose us with an amen Just understand that he accepted you first You place your faith in him only because he He did the work first. So that's fine with that. I'm good with that. Uh, let me do Hold on hold on hold on I see I see a fight I see a fight from being saved. I'm just I'm just kidding First Samuel 10 6 through 9. Is this an example of regeneration theotism? Someone asked this question earlier. I think on last week or they may have even asked a question on Don't go on it. There it is I couldn't see my um my cursor someone asked this question on saturday during the bible study because this came up first Samuel By the way, let me say this Dutch you asked a question I can't remember what the question is But I I was going through the video and I saw the question and I just miss miss everything that you said about the question Something happened to with amalic all malachites or something like that. Was it just regional? And yes, yes, there were yeah, so Um, you were right on that. I was either wrong. I didn't know what you're saying or what have you so Bad Cory don't do that again. I messed up. I meant I missed what you said I don't know if you remember the question or not. So Uh, let's see Then the spirit of the Lord will come upon you mightily and you shall prophesy with him and be changed to another man Is this Samuel being regenerated? The problem with that is if that's Samuel being regenerated Then would it got unregenerated his heart because he left him? And by the way notice the let's just look at what it says the spirit of the Lord will come upon you mightily, let's see This is coming upon you This one right here. I'll lock Okay, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Let me see correctly. I like uh, this is upon you This is upon you upon or over Um, or above you So the understanding is that the spirit is on you moving on you But he's just not in your heart is not regenerate. Remember The prophecy is going to come later that he will later regenerate their hearts Well, he wouldn't say he's gonna later regenerate their hearts in the future if they've already been regenerated. So no All right, guys, let me take one more question Now I don't I don't I'm not sure if if Senior Conrad with all of his hair is just now coming in I don't know what the deal is that uh You be here on time next time By the way, by the way, let me just say this it is my prayer Before the year is up.

Is 18 yeah 18 years ago 18 years ago Um Hebrew 64 does this mean that you can lose your salvation? No Here's why let's go to Hebrew 64 and that'll be the last one By the way, let me just tell you all you guys this You all remember that that infamous not infamous but that alleged um That alleged website Yeah, that that that that that alleged website court whatever happened to the website court The website is actually done The website is done um, what was what we wait known Is some other things to make sure Uh, I'll tell you about it later, but Without question Definitely It will be up this week The website will definitely be up this week Um, the the the church Yeah, the church search segment and there's some parts that that won't be activated Uh, that will be turned on after it comes on But the website is is is already The colors and layout all that stuff Um There's some interactive parts that we won't put on until after it gets on And then bringing other people's videos on board too because so so Initially or so that later you'll start seeing hey, this guy's got a video on there This guy's got a teaching there this guy's got a teaching there that guy has a teaching there and so all that stuff um And so oh by the way, there will be a newsletter And there will be alerts And there will be a little discussion area so that hey you guys like to talk about different stuff with each other Let's have this cut this conversation. So Sometime this week sometime this week. I'll tell you once it gets done. I'll tell you what the hold up has been It was a legitimate reason for the hold up. It was a legitimate reason for the hold up, but I'm going to answer two questions at one time Um, because it they relate together I'm new to the channel. Can someone tell me if he believes in one saved always safe? I believe That according to all and we've covered these different passages That it is literally impossible according to jesus jesus jesus literally says that it is impossible for you to perish He says it's impossible for you to perish in the future Now why am I saying that kind of goes with what i'm asking or what i was to ask In hebrews 6 4 this passage shows up for in the case of those who have once been enlightened These are people that that understand and know the lord that have placed their faith in christ This isn't High but this isn't he's not talking about believers. He is talking about believers knows what he says For in the case of those who have once been enlightened And have tasted of the heavenly gift and have been made partakes of the holy spirit And have tasted the good word of god and the powers of the age to come And then fallen away now by the way the word the end is not there, but they fall away It is impossible to renew them again to repentance Well, how does this not prove that you can lose your salvation? How does this not prove? Well, here's how because one one who's he speaking to he's speaking to jews Who understand How the old covenant atonement works Today you have your faith in Christ. I mean today you are atoned for Next year not so much, which is why as you keep reading He starts bringing this up. He said okay fine if you guys think because what the problem was they were wondering Do I have to atone for my sin? Year after year after year after year why I said that way because that's what that's how the writer brings it up That every year there is a reminder of sin But he says though as we keep reading in chapter 6 7 8 9 10 That those things that there is no more need for Remission there is no more need of a sacrifice. Why because you had been atoned for If you could fall away and this is point in chapter 6 if you could fall away Then go have have a party go live your best life go do what you want to do Why because you can never return. That's why he says if they've fallen away. He says it's impossible To renew them again to repentance. Why they cannot be renewed to repentance Since they again crucify themselves to the Son of God and put an open chain He's not getting back on the cross what brought you to repentance. It's not going to happen again In other words, here's one way of looking in if that didn't work nothing else is going to work if what he did For you initially if what he did didn't work nothing else is going to work There's nothing there's nothing else left. We've tried all we could try so therefore so therefore Okay therefore You can't get it back Therefore there is no need for you to even try but he's not speaking of what you Of is going to happen. He's speaking to them He's speaking to these Jews who have placed their faith in Christ And their concern is the atonement. So what do we see brought up in chapter six actually even before then in Chapter four five six seven eight nine ten We see issues pertaining to the old covenant atonement And how Jesus fulfilled it perfectly to where there is no longer any more sacrifices So and it's not marvellous. Yes, you can it's called falling away falling away from what marvellous I'll give you a thousand dollars if you can tell me if if you can prove that it's falling away from believing I won't I don't have a thousand dollars to give you but I don't have to give you a thousand dollars Why because there's no such passage that tells us about falling away from believing Instead people fall away from the faith the tenets of the faith. Don't we see that today? We see people all the time moving away from what we used to hold As doctrine as sound faith sound belief. We don't see that anymore However And I'm still waiting for somebody. I'm still waiting for somebody you go get a doctor Phd anyone That that disproves those passages that I brought up just deal with Jeremiah 32 40 He says he won't turn away from you. You won't turn away from him. What's left? Oh, someone can snatch you. Well, Jesus says no one can snatch you out of my father's hand. So anyway guys Thank you so much. We're gonna do this again on friday on Somebody's got dine and riled up And I blame monkey moves monkey moves should have just deleted the person I'm I'm kidding But friday, we'll have this again We'll kind of go back and forth with the people come on live and then also in the chats I'm gonna try to do a little bit better. We'll come on about 30 minutes earlier just so I can get some rest that is listen No, we won't no we won't we'll do it five o'clock. We'll do it five o'clock. So We'll go on live Five have come on you will still take your questions as well um Mine just went blank So what is it Wednesday? So anyway, hopefully I'll have we'll have this thing up and running within the next day or two There's a few more things we just kind of Get get settled to make sure that some things run smoothly But you'll have an announcement prior to that. So anyway in the meantime guys, I love you so much Now it's time for me to go grab something to eat you guys be blessed
