 Good evening. Good afternoon. Good morning. Hope you all doing well Sorry for the delay as I was getting ready to come on I looked up and the Bible software that we use which is accordance Someone's gonna ask what software is this it's accordance Bible software. It was just down. It just wouldn't come up or was down I had to put it back up and then fix it. So fixed it. I Would have thought that doing this I would have been I would have had a pretty easy job or time of this Thinking that I've got a teenage daughter and some young younger daughters who could you know see me through this technology But nope they they have no interest in helping their dear old dad So anyway anyway, go ahead and put your questions a gigantic cue or question in front of this in front of your questions So I can see them as always. I will not be able to get to all of them I'll get as many as possible Also, let me apologize because this week we were supposed to go through the end times We're probably spending at least one day with maybe two days over the end time There are different things that happen and so I have to push it back until next week We will definitely cover the end times on Tuesday. We'll have Bible study on Monday We'll have an end time discussion on Tuesday. We'll also cover Some issues over the Trinity whether Or not or different aspects of it that you must believe or may not believe so also if you put in a question prior Before the video started before the live stream started go ahead and put it in because I did it doesn't it's not showing up now So to make sure that if you asked a question, I can go ahead and try to try to cover that. So Anyway, that being the case Let me go ahead and well one while I'm waiting for people to go ahead and populate their questions Go ahead and tell us where you all are watching from That's always good to know and let me just say this as well There are usually on a on a slow day or an average day. Maybe I don't know about 200 to 300 people in the live stream sometimes more and What doesn't happen always is the people that are watching don't always chime in and say hello or Comment and I would like for you guys I want to start encouraging you people you guys who are watching Who aren't actually typing in the live stream go ahead and type in the live stream chat so we can just get to know you Why because what ends up happening is you guys end up becoming kind of like family to each other And so I think that's one of the coolest parts about this.

I was born this way While I was going through my rough patches in life my sinful life hair showed up That's right. But when I became a man, I put childish things and hair away. So there you go Dion, where's your question? I Marking all these questions as I go. So there's a lot of what I have About 20 questions marked so far Ah Let's see. Let's see. Let's see. Let's see my Taylor's question is is marked liberating Truth Church Online's question is marked Every faith would say every faith youtuber thinks That they have the right the housing that their faith is bulletproof. Well, yeah But which is a good thing and a bad thing what it is is what you do is if you think that you have the right Faith you should be so bold and so proud of it that you want to have it stand up to the test of scrutiny So you put it out there Let folks know what it is that you say what you believe why you believe it and then see if it can stand up If it cannot within a man be Be humble enough to say that you know what I was wrong about that I have been wrong about so many things and have wait a second Christopher says go wolf pack somebody put Christopher in time Now I'm kid Deon I'm looking for your I'm looking for Deon did you put let me just type it in I don't see I don't see Deon's question No, I don't see your question Deon or Deon just messing with me. Okay. Deon is messing with me But y'all let me know if Deon puts a question. I have to answer it. Okay. There it is. There it is. There's got way Let's see Alrighty, I have got 30 questions mark. I'm not gonna answer all of those 30 questions I will see some other questions have a pop alongside but I'll do my best to get through as many of these as possible We'll probably have two Q&As on next week since we didn't have one on last week So let's go ahead and jump into it Okay, Donald J says Your thoughts on the scripture bible scriptures bible published by the institute of scripture research Please well, I can't give a thought because I have no idea what this is. I don't know I've never heard of them. You know what it's sending me a put a comment in the in the questions After this or you can do it right now. So I can I'd like to look it up. I'd like to look it up and see Maybe it's worth looking into Spider monkey This is one of the few times spider monkey asks a question and doesn't say can you compare this with that text or with that Greek text? Or so, so thank you spider monkey Jesus tells Mary Magdalene not to cling on him, but then Matthew 28 9 says that she clashed his feet Was he telling her not to embrace him or Did he or he told her this after she was such a let's go to Matthew 28 29 Where's the New Testament at I got up here somewhere. Oh, there it is Matthew 28 29. Let's go to it I'm sorry 29 Uh-oh, I put an extra care. Oh, there it is. Oh, I should say it. Okay. Let's let's go. Let's let's go Let's start in verse 7 go quickly and tell his disciples that he has risen from the dead and behold He is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him. Behold. I have told you And they left the tune quickly with fear and great joy and ran to report it to his disciples And behold Jesus met them and greeted them and they came up And took hold of his feet and worshiped him I don't think that really the issue was so much that by the way, this is this is this is a different time So this is the disciples doing so one I don't know that we that we take it literally but we can't take it I don't have a problem with it being taken literally as well that they actually took hold of his feet I think matter of fact, it probably is literally But what I mean by taking it literally is in the sense or Let me back up when Mary is clinging to him I don't necessarily believe that the issue is so much with him being touched I don't think he's like, you know, get off me. Don't touch me. You know, do you know who I am? I don't know that's the issue I think he was making a point and she didn't want to let him go. I can imagine I listen. I gotta go. I got stuff to do I think that really is the the the point that he's making with Mary Not that he didn't want to be touched because they're touching him and then obviously Thomas shows up and says touch that he tells him, you know Touch the the the nail prints in my hand in my side And so I don't think it was an issue of not touching and I'm pretty sure They hugged him as well. So I think that's really all that's in play here Not not to make a big issue of them actually touching But why and maybe that she was just not trying to release him She was clinging and grasping on him like, okay, all right. I'm here, but let release me I have not yet gone to my father I think I think the bigger point that he's trying to let us know is what has not happened yet And maybe maybe maybe even to assure him. I mean her that Things are proceeding like they're supposed to I have not yet, but I'm going to leave so That would be how I would take that. Can you explain first Corinthians? 10, I'm sorry first Corinthians 11 10. Okay, let's see what that says Corinthians you said 11 10 All right, let's go to it first Corinthians 11 10 Therefore the woman ought to have a symbol of authority on her head because of the angels This is a weird statement one the symbol of authority is obviously some sort of covering Either by her father or by her husband But because of the angels, this is one of those passages where it gets debated and honestly in the end No one has a one single answer for it It could be just kind of in view of the angels watching There is some sort of hierarchy. There's some sort of level of authority So and we see that with with christ to man to woman And is that the same is he referring to that as it relates to angels as for as the woman originates from the man So also the man has his birth Through the woman and all things originate from God. And so it could be that that's what he's speaking of We don't know for sure. It's one of those statements that is made and You probably can go to different commentary and get different answers, but and and There's no one that can say that they have a a true claim to what it actually means because it's just not that clear The bible doesn't speak a lot about The angels watching us and because of the angels then the women are to because this is one of the times where this Head covering comes up if we had other passages to go off of we could probably look at it and kind of glean Even more definitively the the whole head covering thing as it relates to angels But it's just one of those things, huh? What do we head coverings and authority have to do with the angels? But I would say And I'm not gonna I wouldn't die on this hill Someone probably has a different answer But I would say probably just in view of just the authority because that's a whole point That's the point before the angels being brought up and that's the point after so in view of just the authority The hierarchy just positions and so forth. I would say in view of that Act 1633 what kind of baptism? Was the jailer baptized in? First current of African acts Act 16 And they took him matter of fact, let's go back a little further. This is after the jailer Places faith in his Christ and he called for the lights and rushed in and trembling with fear He failed down before Paul and Silas and after he brought them out He said sirs what must I do to be saved? They said believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and he will be saved you and your household And they spoke the word of the Lord to him together With all those who are in his house And they took them that very hour of the night and washed their wounds and immediately he was baptized He and all his household. I would say in this case. It would probably be a physical water baptism There are times in the scriptures where We're not sure if he's talking about a physical water baptism or baptism or if the bible speaking of a spiritual baptism And there are sometimes that we might understand that this is definitely water. This is definitely spiritual holy spirit Or there's somewhere it could be either or not really sure in this case. I would lean towards I would lean towards it being water Some people can make a case that it could be spiritual, but I think in this case. I think in this case. I would go with Water because again at that very he says he washed their wounds and and immediately he was baptized And so I would go with that now it could very well be that he washed his wounds and then the holy spirit came upon him That could be Um, but I would probably go with that again There here's a time where you are making these declarations before people That you are that this water baptism is you signifying your new profession of faith And I could see that being the case there. I could see that being the case I can also see it being the case of spirit baptism We do know which one actually saves and that is it has to be it has to be Baptized in the holy spirit in order to be saved so At some point time he was certainly baptized in the spirit in the family was so but uh on that one And there I guess it's back-to-back passages or questions where you've got to leave room to say I'm not totally sure. I don't know but I think on this one. I would go with water baptism Did the christian church get moved to the roman catholic? I mean to sunday by the roman catholic church. No, they did not We they people were celebrating think about this guys. And this is not an easy. I mean a difficult Questions that it's pretty easy to prove The church Does not has never necessarily had a time at least as far as we're concerned at least in the beginning Did not recognize one specific day over another as a matter of fact, we're told not to regard one day over another What we did see was we saw one Especially those that were trying to proselytize the jews Proselytizing the jews necessarily requires you to do so on saturday on the Sabbath But remember what was the bulk of the church? Just a few just a just a few years after Pentecost the bulk of the church ends up becoming Gentile And the gentile church did not understand did not have an issue with it with a saturday or sunday or monday or tuesday Obviously the days weren't necessarily called those days, but How we can know for a fact well one because we have writings Listen to this guys and you can do your own research on if you want to we have writings from early church fathers Who spoke about people meeting on different days now Their writings preceded the roman catholic church y'all do realize there is an actual date A start date of the roman catholic church Okay, well we have a pope and so forth. So we're talking about a few centuries later. So we do have people We do have people Meeting On sunday Or on monday or on thursday Prior to there being a roman catholic church. And so guess what guys if you think the roman catholic church started Question, how did they start it before they were in existence? so Um Someone asked this question on answers question. I asked it early answered earlier Why did why did I delete the upcoming video titled how the world ends because I had different things coming up? And so I want to give it time. We'll cover that again. We'll cover it on next week. It'll it'll be up on Um, next week. We'll do that on next week. So Uh, so anyway, I'm answering the question the roman catholic church did but what happens sometimes ladies and gentlemen Is that the roman catholic church the catholic church gets blamed for a lot of stuff? They get blamed for us sunday worship they get blamed for Uh, you name it they get blamed for let me think of the trinity they get blamed for a lot of different things And the roman catholic church now they have some things that uh, they're at fault for But not everything not everything there was a time that the roman catholic church did not exist And it's all you have to do. Let's just be let's just be intellectually honest The things that preceded the roman catholic church The roman catholic church could not be responsible for amen Amen. All right. Let's go back to some more questions Let me delete some of these that have already done Why do I believe that jesus christ is god? I love your teaching. However, I've always believed that jesus christ is the son of god. Well You and I are Born here in either america or some western some westernized civilization And so we see things and take words differently than maybe others did right Many of us and i'm going somewhere with this many of us who have Been around for a while. We can understand how words have different meanings that the word that the understanding of certain words English words we speak english, but some of these english words Mean something different for example When I was born We didn't say bad to mean good When we said that's bad we meant bad as it's bad, but then bad started also meaning good Words and meanings changed the reason why i'm saying that is because if we say son of god We're thinking he's the son of so-and-so if I say the son of in my case James minor jimmy minor. He's the son of that. I'm i'm his offspring Son of god does not have the same meaning Uh now in terms of being of the same essence That's what it does mean And that's how the people took it if we go to john ten They asked jesus ascends. Matter of fact, let's pull it up. Let's go there. Let's let's just let's let the bible tell us some things so let's go to john ten first off and The jews picked up stones To stone him he says uh, I showed you many good works from the father for which of them are you stoning me The jews answered him for good work We do not stone you but you blaspheme because you being a man make yourself out to be god Now here's the question What did the jews think that he meant now? We're not we're not putting anything On them as though we're following their teachings But what did that term and other terms mean to the jews the jews meant or thought that the son of god Son of man or him saying i am They thought that that meant that he was equating himself with god if we stay in john obviously we go to john chapter eight There's two passages we want to look at in john eight John eight jesus said to them truly truly i say to you before abraham was i am So what happens when he says before abraham was i am What did the jews do? Therefore they picked up stones to throw at him but jesus hit himself So why they weren't picking up stones because jesus was saying that i was old No, they were picking up stones to say because he was saying that he was god now in that passage This is why it's also important He uses a term in the greek echo ma and we'll look at that in a second But jesus says that therefore i said that this isn't the same chapter chapter I said to you that you will die in your sins for unless you believe that i am he now that's i am he The he is italicized because it's not actually there in the english you will die in your sins Well, i am what well this term because ego ma that i am the i am if you don't believe i'm i am You will die in your sins now the question is this moses tells us in Deuteronomy four that the lord is god And we can go and cover all the different times in ways that it that is used But eventually we'll come to find out that the lord he's speaking of the same lord The lord is god there is only one lord And there's one savior god says in isaia in 42 and 43 that one he'll share in his glory with He'll share his glory with no one So no one can share his glory yet jesus comes back and says give me back the glory that i had with you in the beginning So that's one but then also If he is the lord and he is the only savior He is the lord he is the savior and he says there is no other So there's no other lord. There's no there's no other savior. There's no other god. He's the i am. He's the judge He's father He is let's think of all the different terms that use him Oh every knee shall bow every tongue shall confess that he is lord. Well, that's that's of god But then jesus says the same thing so As far as we're concerned the bible says that unless you confess that jesus i mean sorry that you confess that jesus lord And then whoever confesses to cause for him as a name or the lord that he shall be saved So you must confess that he is lord not a lord But the lord why because we have one faith one baptism one lord So unless we think there's a bunch of lords going around again the bible tells us in the old and the new we've got one lord Okay, so that's why And when you think about it if you go to exodus 3 this is very important We'll cover this again on next week even more in depth But in exodus 3 we see most is standing there Before this burning bush And what do we see who do we see being being in the midst of this bush being told is in the midst of the bush Says god these are the the terms that are described to whoever's in that bush god the lord The angel of the lord and then he gives us a term Uh, I am or I am that I am he uses in the first person and in the third person You tell everyone that I am sent you but as he him saying himself he says I am And so we see those terms used again of jesus now what we do see is we see god in this bush who's right there But he's also still in heaven and his spirit is still everywhere So the same thing except that instead of him being wrapped in fire We see him wrapped in flesh to come and pay a ransom for us Amen, amen Alrighty, let me answer some more questions Can you do a follow-up on dan mclellan? It is finished. Cedric. What is what it who is dan mclellan? And what did he say? I'll come back to you in a second, but Moderates make sure I see I see that. I don't know who dan mclellan is. I'll try to come back And and answer that but I have no idea who he is or what did he say So therefore if you can tell what he said, maybe I can speak about it at least briefly On the day that god said the first day god said let there be light. There was light, but the fourth day Um, I'm sorry, but but on the fourth day the two great lights the sun and the moon were created Was the light that god brought what was the light that god brought into existence? Let's go to it Uh, let's see that would be genesis one Alrighty In the beginning god created the heavens and earth so at a point in time at the beginning We cover this before that he's not speaking about the very very very very very beginning Because first of all, it's not a definite article there in this in this base here So so you would really read it as in A point in time in a beginning not the very absolute beginning why because before he said let there be What was there this rock Before he said let there be light there was this rock But then look what he says then god said let there be light and there was light and god saw that the light was good So what happens or what we see here is god Causing light to show up well Absent the sun and the moon Can light show up? Well, sure We just need a source for that light. Well, who is the source of our light? The lord is as a matter of fact any turni who is going to be the source of our light that very same lord And then we begin to see the rock Must be spinning because we have day and night and that's one day And we understand what what a day is even as moses is explaining this to the children of israel They know what a day is as one revolution of the earth one turning of the earth Uh a 24 hour period and so whatever the source is is giving light to this side and not that side That's how you divide the day and night because It's got to be in a source of one spot. So now how that work have no idea be cool if Once we get to heaven we can see the movie god can share with us how that happened Uh, but simply put the light is god is the lord amen And someone said Constantine to yeah poor Constantine the roman catholic church and Constantine They get blamed for everything I personally think that It is it's it There's biblical laziness on people's part not you guys because you guys are smart christians But there are times where people want to just blame everybody for everything. I'll never forget Being in my federal tour I would have this every day the muslims will come up the atheists will come The pagans will come up and ask what about Constantine? What about the Not realizing when Constantine Shows up on the scene when the the catholic church shows up on the scene and If you just go back prior to that Constantine is the one that created the The trinity. No, he did not. No, he did not Uh, do you have a link to call? To call in I have a question. I bet you are unaware. Here's the link Uh, put your question in my friend muslims called me I'll mock thee. Okay. Fine. I'll mock thee. Okay. Fine. You then mock me. Okay, fine Put your question in and let's see if we can answer it I don't I don't plan to be able to answer every question. You might ask me name every cow in montana. I cannot So, uh, let's try and see That's why the way did I go bald again? I did not go bald. It's born this way um Is the penal substitutionary atonement the correct way to explain the gospel It is the center of the gospel. There's more to it. Obviously Our because penal substitution Doesn't convey fully if you just leave it at that The reason why I say that is because we had penal substitution in the old testament. However, it was not Um complete It was not infinite. It was finite. There was a there was an elapsed date a time that it would end in other words Under the atonement under the old covenant. This was a yearly thing Now our substitution obviously We've got someone else who is paying for our part now the first time we see this is Obviously in genesis three and four We see one god does something to cover them their shame and their nakedness And then as he's speaking to when we get introduced to kane and abel The bible says in the course of time it came to be that they were bringing offerings And so we have god all allowing them to bring offerings as by As a way of bringing some sort of reconciliation And so that's always been the case and god has never it's never crossed god's mind That we had the ability to pay for our own sins to atone for ourselves That's never been the case as a matter of fact He tells us that life is required of life And so the life of the flesh is the blood and so what does he do? He offers it now something that someone said and you think about this we don't really think about Blood sacrifices atonement because when was the last time any of you guys actually got a chance to see An animal being sacrificed on i'm sorry an animal being sacrificed on the altar We don't really see that a lot do we it would be gory it would probably be upsetting to us And by the way, we're going to talk about that just these animal sacrifices that are supposed to be in the I have you moses. We're going to see that in the in the millennium. What does that at? What does that mean that didn't that didn't that didn't make any sense? So we'll cover that as well what the point of it is then what the point of it is going to be what the point is always being so Look for that on next week. That's why we may break it up into two ports because there's a whole lot to cover uh on on next week So But anyway the back to the point though penal substitution is it's it's what what centers the gospel But in this case our gospel is a particular type of Substitutionary atonement that is not the blood of bulls and goats That was temporary, but one not made by a better Sacrifice Administered by a better high priest. Amen. And so in this case The good news is not that salvation has come to the jews The good news isn't that salvation has come to the jews and the gentiles or to the world The good news is that salvation has come to the world Permanently that's the good news. Amen explain luke 1926 Explain luke 1926, and I just noticed something. Okay. Okay Explain luke 1926 luke 1926 fight on the screen I'm moving pretty quickly. I'm moving pretty quickly 1926 Okay, I tell you that everyone who has who has more shall be given But from the one who does not have even what he does have shall be taken away Now I used to use this in regards to talking about investing and taking care of your money and so forth and There is there is something to that. Why because this comes up speaking about this is speaking of Uh, these people who were given some money And he comes to this this this worthless slave. He calls him he said By your own words, I will judge you worthless slave. Did I did I did you know that I am an exacting man taking up What I did not lay down and reaping what I did not so Why did you not put my money in the bank and having come I could have collected it with interest So he's got these people that he gives money to these servants Uh Some that are given something proportionately And so in this case, could you apply this to maybe Now it does work financially the those that have money Uh, the more money you tend are tend are the people that tend to do better with the investing But that's not really the point of this passage. The point of this passage is matter of fact, let's go Let's go back up to it Let's start in verse 11 while they were listening to these things Jesus went out went on to tell a parable because he was near Jerusalem And they supported that the kingdom of god was going to appear immediately So he said a nobleman now remember by the way, we're covering These we're covering these um Parables on patreon and go over to patreon sign up. It's free We're covering patreon we're covering parables and most often you're going to see him say the kingdom of heaven is like These parables not saying that it is but it's like he's using these parables to kind of Explain something so he says so he said a nobleman went a distant country to receive a kingdom for himself And then returned and he called 10 of his slaves uh, oh 10 of his slaves and gave them 10 minus um And said to them do business with this until I come back But his citizens hated him and sent a delegation after him saying we do not want this man to reign over us I'm sorry. Am I on the right one? Yeah, I'm right. I'm sorry. I'm the right one The second came saying as he comes back and approaches him Uh, the first appeared saying master your mina has made 10 minas more and he said to him well done Good and faithful servant or slave because you have been faithful In a very little thing you are to be in authority over 10 cities The second came and said your mina master has made five minas and he said to him also you are to be over five cities Another came and said master here is your mina which I put away In a handkerchief where I was afraid now. What's the point? Our job matter of fact, let's keep reading. Let's keep reading After he says is I tell you that everyone who has more shall be given But from the one who does not have even what he does have shall be taken away But but these enemies of mine who do not want me to reign over them Bring them here and slay them in the presence of my enemy. Well, he's speaking about a lot of things here One That person with that one In other words, you got one job to do you didn't do it You have your servants Ladies and gentlemen, that's us Gave you something I tell you that everyone who has more shall be given Uh, have you ever noticed that there are certain people that have been entrusted to do certain things more than others? You would like to be the person you would like to be the person with a lot of responsibilities, but maybe you're not trustworthy I've I tell you that everyone who has more shall be given But from the one who does not have even what he had what he does have Shall be taken away So I've given you something you didn't do well with and now what you do have I'll take that away Why because you were just not a good Stewart or good. So now he's not saying Well, you know what, you know what let's back up. He is saying he is saying He is saying Notice what he calls a person By your own words, I will judge you you worthless slave Did you not know that I am an exacting man? He calls the person with the one who's not diligent. He calls the person worthless Could this be ladies and gentlemen I don't want to give it away because we're gonna we're gonna cover this in Uh, or next week as a matter of fact in one of the upcoming Stories of the parables that we're gonna do Well, could this be someone who Has been given the word of god and does nothing with it Is that possible? I think it's very possible. I think that's the whole point And so you've been given the gospel and you do nothing with it. You don't share it as a matter of fact You don't regard it. You don't you don't regard it that highly at all And so you are as I mean you'll say a lazy servant a worthless servant good to nothing. You good for nothing A lazy good for nothing as a matter of fact as a matter of fact what um What would the lady say in in flintstones that you you you lay you lazily you lazy good for nothing And I think that's what this servant is He he shows himself not to even really be a servant a servant in name only amen I'll cover this even more when we come to it on next week. I'm kind of holding out So Betty g look look for that even more so on next week Okay, hold up. I'm not let me see if I if I understand this thoughts on using sin To formulate laws like oh, oh, I see what you're saying to formulate laws like popular Conservatives suggest I believe people need to see the darkness of sin to come to Jesus for forgiveness But what are your thoughts you mean? Let's say there's a particular sin. Okay. How about abortion and we formulate a law Tell me if I'm if I'm correct We formulate a law to outlaw abortion Do you think is that what is that what you're talking about because if so Uh, sometimes it's good to have laws to outlaw sin certain sins. Let's be clear certain sin Um, we need to take that sin in order to formulate a law to outlaw that sin for example Could you imagine if it was not against the law to murder? There are some people if it weren't out of sin, I would just go, you know what let me have Adam Because it's not a sin. I mean it's not it's not against the law. So let me go and do something and I'll repent later Sometimes we do need laws to kind of hold us and to hold us back from our own inhibitions There are two things. There are two things that control us Something on the outside And something on the inside On the outside, you've got police officers. You got jails. You've got the law That says that you shouldn't do it and so for that reason some folks just won't do it because now There's some folks don't care about the law or police and they'll do it because no one's looking You also need something on the inside so you can have a law on the outside and it's something that Paul's talking about You can have the law on the outside that try to constrict you doesn't work very well And then you can have a law on the inside Therein lies the spirit the purge. Yeah, if we had a purge If we had a purge a lot listen first of all if we had a purge, there'd be a lot less youtubers At the day after the purge, that's a fact There'd be a lot less youtubers a lot less folks on youtube the day after the purge And in the day after the purge you have a lot of nice comments on youtube the day after the purge so But the purpose of these laws in many cases are to help us from those who are lawless people But ultimately you're right Jesus being preached to them is the best way to go about doing it. Amen Thank you liberating truth church online. Thank you so much. I appreciate the super sticker Do you use commentaries? Comments commentaries. Let me ask you guys a question. Let's do this. Let's let's let's put it on the screen Let me ask you guys a question. How many of you guys actually use commentaries? I personally think commentaries are worthwhile. I think they are beneficial They are not gospel So if you've got the john smith study bible and you got his commentary or you've got other commentaries if you go to You can do it also on this on this uh software Concordance, you can go you can pull up different commentaries You can go to lagas and you can pull up different commentaries over a particular passage The reason why they can be helpful is because it helps others it helps you to see what others are thinking because Hey, you know what? I wasn't thinking that you're not the only person that has a bible And so you're not the only person has a thought about a passage There have been people that have made it their life long mission to labor in the scriptures And to see what you know and kind of explain it and so it's sometimes helpful and useful to go and see what they think That's a good thing. I don't I don't have a problem with that at all matter of fact I would encourage you to use different commentaries But I would also caution you to be careful not to use commentaries to Be how you settle an issue see what they say and then go back and investigate it Now someone might say that I am against commentaries. No, you're not. There's not one person out there that is against commentaries Here's why The reason why you're not against commentaries is because let's put let's put up some let's put a passage on the screen Let's go to your second friend is here's a passage You all might read this the the the middle part Where it's where it's in english You do understand this english is actually a commentary It's a very definition of a commentary. Well, how is that? Well, how did you get the english? Well, someone translated in greek. Well, how did you get well who determined what that word that's used there In the english comes from there there could have been many words that we could have used So you might have a translation committee that come together and says well Let's use this word because we're trying to get the thought that's coming out of this But also the actual word We want to use the right words that doesn't take away from the thought So what are they trying to do? They're trying to make sure that you get the thought from that word And there's a myriad of words that you might be able to use and so this translation committee Is giving a commentary on the greek or the hebrew Giving it to you in english So you have to use some sort of commentary if you don't speak greek or hebrew to understand the text So in that regard we all use a commentary and so other commentaries to give even more Um understanding I think is a good thing again. It helps you to understand because you might see well, you know Wait a second. So this word means this this this or it could mean that or it can mean that and I think that's helpful so all right I think the uh My brother chimed in he said my question is about moses musa Uh And the meeting at the burning bush and what took place. Okay, you're telling what your question is about Give me your question I'm kind of interested to see what you're going to ask. So I'd like to hear what your question is So don't tell me what it's about Give me the question now. You just made me waste 15 seconds. I'm kidding. I'm kidding and I could not I'd be I'd be remiss Uh, not to mention Don't know him. I should know him because he is from indianapolis or in indianapolis and he's bald Hi, brother terence glad to see you are here It's nothing like a bald man any and wait a second and he's got glasses Amen, and he's in indianapolis. Amen Anelody, thank you for the super chat Um matrix people can people joke about jesus? Did jesus have a sense of humor? What do you all think do you think you can tell a joke about jesus? Not now obviously there's got to be some taste. It's got to be some decorum. You can't say uh a rabbi A priest and jesus and then it becomes something vulgar, right? You can't you can't but can you say, you know, sure you can Sure, you can't but be careful Don't don't don't treat treat him like he's some some sort of cheap thing Okay, um He don't make him the punchline. Don't don't don't minimize him. Are you with me? So just be careful now I would say you might want to just avoid them altogether you might want to just uh All together avoid those things. Okay, let me see. Did you okay hold on Muslims call me All right, my friend I'm trying to see what your question is What is your question about the meeting took place? You said about what you what you think or understand about This error. Okay, you're calling it an error. What's the error? What what is the error that you think that is that is What error? so You do realize how vague this is and and i'm giving time to you but As long as you understand it's kind of had hard to Answer anything if you're going to be vague. I got whatever All right, so Me one more shot so I can move on to other people Uh, let's see At what point is a believer consider? You know what? I don't think people actually understand not you guys But many folks don't actually understand what it actually means to be safe I'm I'm so convinced of that but At what point is a believer considered safe? They were raised in the church and always believed and loved the word of god for as long as they could remember They have sinned but not a sinner. Well, first of all, you've just described every christian not as far as the part about being Um, oh, he's on time out. Why is he on time? What did what did he do? I'm sorry? I'm sorry, rachel I just saw a woman might already said that um Um My friend is on time out. Okay. All right when he comes back in Uh, mr. Muslim brother or maybe muslim or muslim sounding ish brother Ask your questions. I'm actually interested. See what you have to say. What did he say by the way to put him? No, don't do it. Why is it in time now? But anyway Um, but people at what point is a believer considered safe The point that he placed his faith in christ That's the point that he's considered safe If you have placed your faith in christ, you are safe now the question is did you place your faith in christ? How do you know you placed your faith in christ because it came out of my mouth? No, because I felt a certain way. No, because after I said it they baptized me in water No Only you and god now it could be That after we find out what you placed your faith in we could say, uh, maybe not Maybe not if you say well, I place my faith in um, the jesus of islam No, you're not safe if I place my faith in A jesus who is not god. No, you're not safe If you placed your faith in jesus that all he did was kind of help you out because You are not necessarily repentant of your sin meaning. Here's what I mean by that That you don't think that you needed saving that you're not that bad That I'm not going to hell you if you don't think that you were on your way to hell prior to salvation You're not saved because he didn't save you of anything. He you just got a buddy and jesus ain't your buddy He's not your good buddy Your co-pilot or any of those things and so But if you place your faith in his atoning finish work on the cross Because you needed because you are a fallen person and the only way to be safe is because of his blood And that god accepts that payment the bible says you're safe Faith in him alone makes you safe That's that There's going to always be someone that's going to want to get you to think different of that By the way, we are going to cover we are going to cover the little documentary about one save they I think it was I think it was well, I think it was well done I think it was well done But they were just misinformed and some of the things they say is like wait a second You guys missed it. You guys missed it and oh by the way ladies and gentlemen, they happened to have covered my favorite passage And they just they butchered they they did they did a disservice by adding to the text And we'll show that as well and they bring up again They bring up what the early church fathers said and so forth again me personally Who cares what I don't I shouldn't say who cares what the early church fathers said But you don't put a lot of weight into it If you do you got to put a weight into everything everything else they said and you and they don't even do that They don't even do that. So uh Going back to this Oh, I'm sorry one last thing about that if a person um, one of the funny things is about if you say a person can lose their salvation But they can get it back by placing their faith in christ. Well, what's What's the assurance that them placing their faith in christ the second time is any different or any better than the first time What what what did you do differently? Well, I believe that jesus christ died on the cross for me for my sins and so forth and so forth and so forth The are you believing anything different the second time or the 15th time? Then you did the first time. No, I believe the exact same thing huh Interesting. You you believe literally the exact same thing as you did from the beginning. So what's what's different now? Please tell us. What's what's different now? Well, I mean it this time. Oh, do you? How do we know? Well, I mean it because I'm not gonna sit in this time really Really, you're like the kid that got a weapon and said mama. I'll be good. I won't do it again Is that is that what I think we just flesh out what this actually means Well, so what made you not be saved the first time that you lost your salvation or the 13th time you lost your salvation Well, I kept believing But I just sinned You know, okay Hmm interesting So when you sin again, I'll be saved again. I'll I'll be unsaved again Well, it's not like that core. You have to sin you have to sin so much There's a there's a sin quota you have to meet in order to be unsaved Well, what is that simple? I don't know core. You asked me all these questions. Well, I mean, well, what dawg on it? Use the bible. Well, I did and so again, you get to send your way out of salvation And while you were sinning your way out of salvation, what was the Holy Spirit doing? Therein lies a problem ladies and gentlemen But we'll address that by the way, they they should have addressed they should have addressed some other passages And we're gonna we'll address them. How about that? How about that? We'll address them All right, continue core. You got to hurry up. You got you got to hurry up Has uh our muslim ish friend Been untimed out. Is he back? I just want to see what he I am really interested in what this guy has to say I'm almost willing to bet. I'm almost willing to bet that It's gonna be silly I'm all I'm almost willing to bet that I might be wrong though. I'm I'm holding out hope I'm holding out hope. Where's my other brother from Indianapolis? There he is Okay, my mom and pastor are Suspect as to if they are saved Based on what I've been learning here on the channel. How do I tell someone who has been in their faith longer than me? That they are false That's a difficult question and a difficult uh conversation. Hey you you are a false teacher How do you think that's gonna go over? It's not gonna go over. Well, is it? Call me a false teacher again Come call me a false teacher. Yeah, but it doesn't really go over well so There that you have to use ladies and gentlemen You have to use wisdom now because deion is in Indianapolis. He's wise. There's no question about it. Go cults by the way Go Hoosiers go boilermakers go, uh bulldogs go irish Who else? Go, uh, university Indianapolis grayhounds Go IUP. Why what what is that mask? I don't know go Pacers definitely go Pacers We're gonna be pretty good next year by the way. Anyway When you tell someone that you disagree with them, that's really kind of how you want to go. I disagree with you I want to I disagree with you Here's why Tell me why can I answer some questions because I might and and pose in the sense that I could be wrong I believe this here's why can you help me out? Tell me why I'm wrong Well, who doesn't who doesn't want to step up and show you why They are why you're wrong and why they're right And then ask some questions I'll never forget. I was asking a former pastor about tongues Now I believed in tongues I believed in tongues at the time, but I was confused. Well, wait a second. Hold up. Wait a minute. I'm trying to figure this out And so he I took that tack with him former pastor and I'm asking And it got to the point where he couldn't answer and I don't ask other questions now I couldn't ask him those questions and make my point in the bible study in front of everybody Because what was going to happen? Sometimes you do have to use wisdom sometimes you can't call the false teacher or the person that's teaching false out in front of everybody Because they'll cut you off won't deal with you or They'll just make up something or what have you Again, give them opportunity to to look up their stuff. Hey, here's my and if you got time then take time if it's your parent Well, you got time Here's what here's why And then add and then get their side and then what it happens is you end up going and you research your points You research their point and you can go back and forth and ask me. Is it okay that we can learn this together? You can help me out because I want to be right It's not about who's right, but it's about what's right So I'll come to that day. Ask more questions How would you refute cults who say Eden was a spiritual condition? And the tree of life was Jesus and the tree of knowledge of good and evil was our carnal mind Very easy to refute that Ask them to give a biblical proof the reason why I hold to a A literal grammatically historical hermeneutic is that the words mean something they're there for all of us to get it If words don't mean anything will then throw your bible away So if they're going to say that Eden was a spiritual condition really So the spiritual condition is also mentioned in revelation as well didn't seem very like a spiritual condition seemed like an actual place There was an actual there's an actual Um chair that was placed there to keep anyone at the time to go into it So they need to provide a passage that says that Eden was a spiritual condition and that the tree of life was Jesus They have to they have to provide it's up to them to prove it not you Words mean what they mean and so if they don't mean what if here's how you deal with it Whether it be even if it's something that's not that goofy if it's just let's say We're having a conversation about eschatology If this word doesn't mean what I think it means or what it what it says Do you know who's who the onus is on? To say well, that's not a literal word or didn't literally mean that If someone's going to tell you that this word doesn't literally mean that the onus is on the person Who believes it's not literal now. There are times where the words aren't literally taken And there and how you prove that is by the scriptures So when a person is well, this can't be literal It means this and there's no other backing behind it Especially when it comes up like eschatology in eschatology every every eschatological view Each each point each troops going to have to say there's there's a point of that says I don't know I'm not sure about that. This is kind of hard to understand okay because if I give A question answered and say well, this is a hard one understand and not and we're not fully told this Ah ha see see well, but you've got far more Ah ha sees coming your way So the people that that that think that they don't believe in a A literal millennial reign like I do that which is fine. Which is fine They've have to give an account as to why 1000 years doesn't mean 1000 years You have to tell me why why the lord didn't just use a short period of time Because there are little passages that speak and use the term a short or a small period of time You there's a there's a word called micron small short So we can use that greek word to say a short period of time or a time we can use that so When people say things and they want to use They want to say that this word is a metaphor a figure of speech Idiom what tell us why If the plane doesn't make sense. Well, then we can start looking at that so um By the way, thank you, uh, mr. Rick Caldwell. Thank you for this. Oh, by the way, and I I did receive your call I was in the middle of something and so I what was that you to call me Wait a minute. Let me let me check and see let me check and see. I think I think you called me Did he call me? Nope. Oh, yeah, you did. Yeah, you did. Okay. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. He called me yesterday boy I'm horrible. I'm horrible. What was I doing yesterday? I don't know what I was doing yesterday. I don't know what I was doing yesterday yet Oh, I know what I was doing yesterday. I was I was knee deep in children children Yeah, I had grandkids over here yesterday Yeah, and my family is trying to get me to take up take another dog I don't want my uh my daughter and her husband have two big dogs And they want to give us one and I don't want it. I don't want it. I do not want it Um It's a big dog He's a goofy dog. He's a happy dog. He's only a puppy and he's just gigantic I'm more than likely. I'll probably end up caving Why? Because I'm outnumbered here. There's there's two boys in this house me and the cat We get no respect Okay, I did see that the rick. I did see that where he conceded Uh, the 1000 years argument and he's fairly very thoughtful. I did see that as a matter of fact. I did see that Um, okay, let me ask you some more. I'm moving right along moving quickly. I need to hurry up I need to hurry up Did the apostles receive the holy spirit when Jesus breathed on them? We covered this I think was yesterday day before yesterday If so, how does that align with the apostles receiving the holy spirit? Jesus is making a statement Jesus is making a statement. He's telling them to receive the holy spirit He's now remember he's been preparing them telling them you will receive the holy spirit They didn't receive the holy spirit at that time. How do we know because in act one? He says you will receive the holy spirit and when he comes upon you'll be my witnesses And so then in acts two they do and so grammatically speaking There's an argument made that says that he's just simply speaking what they're going to do He says Receive the holy spirit and breathe on him. They didn't he's just telling what they're going to do And so that's that's the only way you can take it. They could they clearly did not have the holy spirit then Because it makes no sense to say Later that they're going to receive the holy spirit. There's only one baptism. There's only one baptism They didn't get a second baptism. There's only one baptism And clearly when it hit them they were on fire for the Lord. They didn't need a second baptism or anything like that. So Alrighty Continuing are the dead eternal currently in heaven? Or hell If so, what does God mean when he uses the word perish and who are the dead that will be raised from the ground when Jesus returned? That's a very good question. Very good question. Okay Anyone that has died, they're gone right now They're gone Not to where they're going to ultimately be forever You can't say that the the dead saints Um are where they are, but that's not where they're going to be forever the dead people that are in in the grave um inhale That's not where they're going to be forever at a point in time. They are going to be picked up and tossed into the lake of fire forever Those of us that die in Christ right now when we died the body The bible says to be after from the body is to be present with the Lord as soon as you die There is judgment bam And then angels as far as we're concerned We'll carry us off to be with the father for the time being with nobody And I say nobody not a body a body not nobody with it's like no one but nobody no physical body No sarcasm no flesh And so that's a great word by the way for flesh or soma so I'm sorry sarcasm flesh soma's body. I don't want to confuse anybody So what happens when at his return not his second coming, but as he comes back he is going to This is my interpretation And I think it's very good interpretation by the way Those who are in Christ who remain will be caught up But before that the dead in Christ who don't have a physical body will receive a body and we'll get it You have a glorified body to be with the father for the time being we'll come back when he on his second coming with him And be with him for this thousand year reign and we'll be with people Who don't have a glorified body who can make babies and so forth and who can still sin Who can die in this millennial reign? And they'll be gathered together and there's going to be this great fight Which is one of the questions that people cannot answer Who don't believe in this literal thousand years because okay Well, what's happening here if it didn't happen when it's going to happen hasn't already happened. It has not happened You have to allegorize all the points then so now nothing In revelation is to be taken literally Okay, okay, let's continue Michael brown you're gonna get you're gonna get yourself in trouble You're gonna have the muslims coming after you everything you just said by the way is true You're gonna have these muslim folks coming after you And I can't be responsible for how they how they come at you buddy One of the things that I used to do I didn't I didn't always I didn't always enjoy it, but after a while I did enjoy it If you mess with me, I'll let you mess with me for a little bit. I promise I'll let you mess with me But if you mess with me and that's the game you want fine Fine fine fine fine fine we can play we can play and have fun and we can If we're gonna do it in jest and do the name calling and so forth But I promise you if you bring a little 22 I'm pulling out the ar-15 That's just me. I listen if we're gonna do that I I play the win Long as you know, so we're in we're in the tv room. This is in my my federal tour And you've got every every day every other day There's somebody always wanting to pick on the christians even in prison. And so the question was about me reaching across the table towards these sex offenders And I said if a person At least professors to be repentant and they want to place their faith in christ and they want to grow Why would I not help? Yeah, but what they did was violent sick. I Know if there's what's about no question. I'm not I'm not defending that but at the same time Don't they have can't they If god has given them gifted them air in their lungs, they can place their faith in christ And they and if they're in christ, there are our brothers, but that's just what they did. That's just okay fine We're sick what you did what you're doing. So Yeah, but there's this there that all right. Well, so let me ask you a question there Mr. Muslim friend You mean tell me you think it's sick and vile and disgusting for a grown man To mess around with some child. Yes, it is. Well, then what about what about Muhammad? It's almost so at that point they want to pick up stones and throw them I said, listen, you can't you're in no position to talk You were in no position to talk as a matter of fact not just Muhammad, but every place on the planet where Uh, you can live peacefully with a child bride Are in muslim majority countries not all of them But the only places you can do it in is in a muslim majority country Can't do it in a westernized country a country where christianity At least has a foothold. Nope. So therefore If you are against sex offenders if you are against Old men and young girls you might not want to be a muslim I might get canceled y'all might be the last time you see smart christen channel. So anyway, but If you're gonna play the game with me, I'll fine. I'll play with you. I will play with you I had a dream And god told me kory miner will have blind reds in heaven. Don't think this is the explanation for tongues Yeah, that was a dream Hey, that was that was a you a false prophet what you are you are a false prophet By the way, I had these recent dreams Goofy dreams goofy dreams. I have them from time to time They're still flushing out of my body out of my system Because and this is what I want to caution you guys about your dreams. I want to caution you guys about your dreams Dreams there's a lot of things that make up our dreams. Could it be god? It absolutely could be but So wait what? but Dreams for the most part are just made up of our recent memories or old memories What you saw on tv what you heard Sometimes somebody is Sometimes you can be having a dream and someone who's not asleep is speaking and you're hearing that and next thing you know Man, I was dreaming about um spaghettios. Well me and the me and the grandson was talking about spaghettios Oh, okay So for me when I was in prison After a while your dreams Are prison centered I had a dream that me and my wife went on a cruise and The cruise on once you go inside your little dorm room or whatever you call this place the um lord, I should know that the cabin I took the cruise before Inside the cabin looked like a prison cell Should have been a should have been a clue and While we're unpacking our bags gonna knock on the door And the guard says count time now i'm on my cruise with my wife and count times We have to stand for count like you do in prison Because sometimes your dreams are filled with your memories and so it took a while to get away from My dreams not centering around reality, I shouldn't say prison not reality, but about the outside world and so I still have dreams where they're kind of lingering some some lingering thoughts about prison or what have you uh, so But as far as me as far as me having Dreads or blonde dreads. I wouldn't even listen. First of all, I wouldn't even have black dreads Yeah, I felt simple tv on that never before too Matter of fact, that is my favorite way of relaxation just Put the tv on and then fall asleep But um, yeah, I'm never going to have dreads If I if I could if I if I were if I had hair if the lord had cursed me to have hair I would you know how it would be it would be cut short Like a real man understand me I'm kid. I'm kid Young folk get mad at me when I talk to them about their haircut. They get mad at me I don't believe in long hair for me. I do not and all this little razzle-moldazzle stuff on their head. No cut that mess Uh vp low. Thank you so much for the super chat Uh, let's see As believing ones, how can we fulfill Matthew six one? First, that's low means four eleven should we stop posting on social media about sharing our faith if we are Internally if we if we are internally not seeking validation And again, I'm reading the smaller text and all I have to do is look over here and I can read bigger I do that sometimes anyway, let's go to Matthew six one. What is he speaking about? Six one Is it six one? Yeah, six one Be oh, okay. I said you said be aware of practicing your writings before men to be noted. Okay. Okay. Let's stop there This is all this means. This is all this means You got some people that want to show off. Yeah, I fasted today I fast twice a day. I fast twice. Well, matter of fact, I fast twice every other hour They give and they show how much they're giving Um, they cry these little fake crocodile tears at the drop of a dime Uh, oh god, oh five they they change their voice when they're speaking never been somewhere where the preacher Is he sounds like me but then after once he gets to Mikey all of a sudden sounds like Martin Luther King Jr Or he sounds you god Are you serious? There are those that have this this this self righteousness about themselves and they air it out. That's his point Or to talk about how good you are how awesome or how wonderful you are or whatever. Look at me I'm the world's greatest Christian. I've got the world's biggest bible And every other all now we do that sometimes where we always showing we got Jesus t-shirt doesn't run with a church that says Jesus or anything about that But sometimes we do it to kind of look down our nose at other people We do that don't we and so Be careful now if you're doing something and you're not intentionally trying to shame folks by your walk that amen, you're you're fine You are fine Don't be ashamed of it. Let the redeemed of the lord say what say so so say so But if you're not doing it to kind of you know, look down on folks and you you are fine That's that's speaking about he's speaking really in regards to these Pharisees and ultra religious people I'm making good time. I can't I don't know how many questions I've asked so far, but it feels like a thousand Okay, um go back to the top No, Arthur Kelly says have I have you ever read uh failed yet forgiven by Keith W. Lant never heard of it never heard of it before I'm sorry I'm sorry Why does Jesus also is why is Jesus also referred to as a son of man a couple things about that Jesus obviously he has the essence of man, but not in the sense that the same nature He doesn't have the same nature. That's dewy. That's dewy. Does he I'm sorry does it The son of man is a similar term like the son of god. It's the same term that gets him in trouble with the jews He's not calling it like a son of man, but the son of man with a definite article that means he has preeminence He's a prototokos. He's the first of and so he's a prototype He is what we ascribe to be but we can never be because he is god But to say that you have the son of man Just like you see he says son of god Is to say it they're both they both refer to his deity son of man refers to Did he just like son of god? It's his favorite term of referring to himself as well Most often he refers to himself as son of man versus son of god Huh, I didn't see that sassy. Williams says did why did Jesus? Oh, he had same question. Okay um Why did you just say not to eat in the presence of a reprobate? What's the uh? What is the significance of act of eating food with an evil person? Here's why and by the way, this is not just a new testament point This also refers back to even the old testament in that culture now obviously we're in a different place in time But we're talking about an old eastern culture What what's happening is if you ate with someone you are saying what they are about what they what they represent I'm for that. I'm good with them everything about them When when the lord tells the children of israel not to eat these animals the One notice he didn't call those animals unclean. He said they're unclean to you The one time where he does say that he didn't use a phrase unclean to you is when he's explaining this um But he's explained it to remember moses explained this in genesis But he's explained it to other jews who already know that these are unclean Okay, this is so for this so he cannot say that these animals are not clean now We come to the new testament and he's not calling these animals unclean But they're unclean to you. Why are they unclean to you jews? Here's the reason why? Because if you eat these animals or these these foods And the pagans eat these animals also for food That means you can go freely back and forth to be a good neighbor and eat with them But if you eat certain things and not eat what they eat If you eat something that's different than them then if they want to eat with you They have to come to your house If if if you want to eat what they eat If you want to go to their house You got to eat what they eat and what they're eat got put off limits So now we come to the new testament when you eat with someone You're saying that i'm good with this person So this person can be an all sorts of diabolical sin and doing all sorts of thing But you're treating this person like he is a good brother like he's in good standing Yeah, I know he's got you know all sorts of uh stuff on the side that he shouldn't be doing and so forth But that's my that's my dude. That's my dog. That's my that's my rote That's my girlfriend. That's my that's my ace. No No, and so you don't do that That's why it's it's just a way it's used as a way to keep yourself away from certain things I got a total story about this is funny God tells a story We're in prison He said, uh, how'd you get to prison? I got to here by eating dinner. He said core you what you because I said this before he said I got here I got here Um because of that core. I said what you mean? Yeah, I came to prison by eating dinner. What you mean? Well, I was at a buddy's house and we was eating and then they rated us They they they busted down his house while we were eating He said I shouldn't have been eating with that with that uh pagan Even though both of them were actually involved in this little uh drug trade So but they just happened to come to his house and he was there. He said man, if I'd followed that I wouldn't be eating with him Anyway, so all right. Let's let's continue. Let's move. Let's move. Let's move cover that If memorandum was a great hunter and considered a mighty warrior Why do some use his name to mean dummy remember saying they do need you big Nimrod? Uh, I don't know. I don't know where that came from. I don't know where but the name does sound like a dummy It does sound like a I don't know maybe because we heard so many folks say There is no biblical reason for that uh to call him because he was a mighty person and he was killed um But which by the way, we we're gonna have to cover that we're gonna have to cover that somebody remind me to do this I'm gonna forget but remind me to cover this The reason why Think about it. God goes into great depths explaining Cain and his descendants Why Why is he going into great depths to explain these people and their lifestyle? And they're all killed. They're all destroyed in the in the flood Who care god or I should say in my ultra religious voice god Why are you telling us about Nimrod and Cain and all these folks like why why they're dead? So what relevance could they possibly have after the flood? You start over with with Noah his wife and his three sons and their wives. So what's the point? There is a big point. There's a big purpose for that. There is a big purpose for that And guess what guys you might some of you guys that hold to this Nephilim being actual giants being procreated by men and angels You might not like this story, but there's a point that god tells us this Even though they're going to be dead So anyway continuing but that is funny. Uh, that is funny My question is about fasting. What is the purpose of fasting as a matter of fact? Let me do this Let me do this don't go on it I'm gonna do this because Show my my technological skills if I can get this thing to pop up real quick I'm gonna play something in the in the chats Let's see. Let's see. Let's see. Is that it? Okay, hold on I think that's it. I think that's it. Let's see is that if that's it Okay, I'm gonna place this in the chat Let me put a link in the chat to this particular video Overfasting and then let me give you a really brief Um, summary overfasting Uh, did you show? Yeah showed up. Okay. So there's a link to that particular video I probably covered it in other cases as well But the purpose of fasting Jesus makes us makes a statement. They asked him Why do the disciples um of john and why do uh the Pharisees and their followers? Why do they all fast but your disciples don't Jesus said simple Because I'm still here Once the bridegroom leaves once I leave they'll fast why because I won't be here, huh? That helps to understand what the purpose of fasting is fasting is mean as we go and look at isa and other places Fasting is to make our voice heard on high. Now others were fasting to get things You don't fast to get stuff You you fast to get god to get him And so our fasting brings us into him now oftentimes we fast because we need something But the something that you need is not as important as the someone you need And so you are trying to get some something accomplished in terms of your spiritual walk It's just like us and I I think I said in the video Pushing lunch to the side missing out on lunch skipping lunch to get a A job done at work so that we can make a deadline Same thing here the lord wants us closer to him And so fasting brings us in proximity to him and then if there's something that you need well fine I'll take care of that. But the whole point of fasting is to bring you Closer to him. Amen Alrighty, let me ask you a few questions. I've got to run by the way There's a video coming out actually right now So make sure you check it out on the smaller channel Of course, you got a smaller. Yes, we have a smaller channel that does a commentary about all sorts of stuff. Anyway Thank you matrix. I like that. It's cute. I like that Can you explain philippines 212? Let's see philippines 212 212 and you said also Revelation 316, let's let's start with this one So then beloved just as you have always obeyed not as in my presence only but How much more in my absence worked out your salvation with fear and trembling and then let's go to okay Okay, and then revelation 316 So because you are lukewarm and neither hot nor cold I will spit you out of my mouth. Okay Um I won't spend too much on the the lukewarm part Now there is a case we made that he's speaking in terms of this particular city here Is at a place where the water is lukewarm They've got these springs to kind of send in through the aqueducts Waters heated water. So the water that's getting there. It's not it's not hot no longer hot by the time it makes it to them It's lukewarm. I wish you'd be either either hot or cold Now does that say that a person that's a christian that is not on fire for the lord Is worse off than a person who's cold? No, that's not his point But his point is to be about what you're supposed to be doing now going back to this philippines past I want to show you that something So so then my my beloved just as you have always obeyed As you've always obeyed not as in my presence only but now much more in my absence Work out your salvation with fear and trembling. Look what he says Um with fear and trembling Yourselves of your salvation. Look what he says to do though Excuse me. He says in regards to that you yourselves or yourselves You ought to yo twan yo tongue So terean in view of your salvation Look what he says karygath estate, which is to work. So because of your salvation Get to work. Why do we say that? Look what he says for it is god Who is at work in you both to will and to work for his good pleasures? So what is god trying to get you to do god wants you to work? I don't want you to be safe and just sitting around being Sanctified and sitting. No, I don't want you to be sanctified and sitting I want you to be sanctified and moving get out and do something The spirit of god in you wants you to testify of him to other people. Amen What is my favorite book in the bible? I don't really have a favorite book. I don't really have a favorite book I don't I don't have one. I don't have one if you had to leave me with one Hmm John it's a good book. I think the book of romans is an excellent book as well Ephesians is a good book Hmm about first john one The first john yeah first john I don't have I don't have a favorite one. I'm sorry. I don't have one Uh, let's see I have had dreams lately about destruction towards a big city and of natural disasters I've had dreams that have come true a bit. Is that normal? Well, everyone's dream. Let me just say this Here's the fact Not since everyone but virtually virtually everyone's dreams come true because most of our dreams are something that we see in the news Or see on tv and these things can tend to be Cyclical something happens. What's going to happen again? Now? I wouldn't put too much into it But now if you get these you know these pressing dreams, what have you and and they and they're close by me Let me know If you're having dreams That that uh dallas is in trouble Please remember to email me. Let me know Let me know let me know what to look out for so but Somebody can get another dream and so forth and if all your dreams aren't true then I wouldn't put too much into it if all and what what that means is that Your dreams are not such to where you that you put credibility into every one of them So then that means some of your dreams are just dreams It's just a thought that came from somewhere that emanated from someplace so Fernando about the eastern orthodox tradition at some point time I will I'm just kind of backed up on a lot of different things and so at some point time I do have it in my stack of stuff to get to in my list of things to get to I will But it's gonna it's going to be a minute. So anyway ladies and gentlemen, I have covered a pretty good amount of questions. Uh, we'll do this again on Sometime next week probably twice probably probably twice or adam eve and cane in hell. We don't know I would say cane probably is I would say cane probably is adam and eve. We don't know remember god gives them offering to do after that And we're not told what they do how faithful they are. So we don't know If god tells them to do x y and z Even as a result of the fall But he makes a way for them to be atone and at this point in time This is before the law and they're doing it faithfully Uh, then There's a good chance. They are in heaven. There's a good chance. They are in heaven. There's a good chance. They're in hell We we just don't know the bible and say One last question. Would you what would you consider the mark of the beast to be? What would I consider the mark of the beast to be? Let me tell you what I consider the mark of the beast to be you see this fellow right here You see this fellow right here. He's got two things. He's got hair on top of his head and he's got a beard He's he's hiding something. He's covering something up I think probably the mark of the beast are these men walking around here with all this hair on the head Here on their face covering stuff up Not letting their natural face and everything shine. Yeah. Yeah that guy right there. I believe it I'm kidding. I'm kidding. I don't know. I don't know but in all seriousness The mark of the beast is something that you take intentionally um in observance of The uh the antichrist what this this system we don't have it yet We don't have it He said knock it off. Listen, don't get mad at me with your hair. Don't get mad at me with all your hair and everything So so listen I'm I'm trying to speak life into you do the right thing cut that stuff off cut that stuff off You don't have to listen. You can wake up carefree and fancy Hey, ma'am. Anyway guys, I love you all so much.
