 Well, good evening. Good afternoon. I hope you all are doing well. Some of the questions will go ahead and run to some of the questions that were submitted earlier and run to them. The reason why we're doing this on Monday is because Friday I will not be able to do. There's a lot going on on Friday. So one of the things that I'll let you know now that's happening on Friday is I'll have a debate on the gospel truth channel with or against Michael Brown. And this is going to cover the issue of one safe always safe. I'll see how I act. I'm feeling a bit. What's the word? A bit snarky this week. So we'll see. But as always, I will not be able to answer all of the questions that you all submitted. I'll try to get to as many as I can. I'll try to go quickly. But in some cases, I want some of the questions already. I know that I won't be able to go through quickly. Some I will be able to go through. For example, the first question that was submitted was from Sheila Mahon. If you're married by a female pastor, does that make that marriage null and void? It's an interesting question, isn't it? Well, I would say this. It's a hard question because is that female pastor an actual pastor? Well, is she qualified to be a pastor? Well, no, she's not. She's not qualified to be a pastor. But then again, some of us were married by pastors who weren't male pastors who weren't qualified. I think what God is going to do is He's going to honor the commitment between the man and the woman in any event. Because what if you were married by a justice of the peace? Are you married? What if you were married by a female justice of the peace? I think you are just as much married because it's not so much the person that's actually doing it. The pastor is not the one that's joining you together. It is you and the spouse or the two coming together. And so, I mean, the thing about the first wedding ceremony or the first, there was no wedding ceremony. Adam woke up and bam, there she was. So even though it's odd and the person that did it was not qualified, that does not, here's a good word, vitiate what God has put together. So I would say that the people are still married. Amen. It's a good question, an interesting question though, isn't it? Here's something I have no idea of, but I do have an answer for it, is quiteus interruptus, I don't know what that is, but insert the insert of truth 41 gives an explanation what it is that he's talking about, or any form of birth control, a violation of the command given by the Lord God. And that Genesis 128 and God made them and God said, be fruitful and multiply. Birth control in and of itself might not be a violation, but some birth control is. I don't know what quiteus interruptus does. I have no idea what that is. I have no idea, first time I've read that, but if this does something to a fertilized egg, and then it causes that egg to be no longer fertilized, no longer alive, then that would go against God's season, that one that would be murder, that would be an abortion. Okay, whether it's the first day, whether it's the 130th day, are there 130 days in a, yeah, there's 130 days in a, in a pregnancy, that matter. That, that would be, that would be wrong. Now, if someone is doing something, let's say they use sort of contraceptive, contraceptive such as a condom, is that in violation? Well, no, I don't think so. And the reason why I say so is because we don't have a passage to state so. He does say be fruitful and multiply. He does. Now, I think it could be wrong, depending on what the person's motives are. If the motives are, well, I don't want kids, kids getting away. I don't like kids. Well, then we had a problem. But we just had a baby. We got 12 of them. I'm 27 years old. I got 12 babies. I need to take a break. Okay. Okay, I got a whole bunch of them running around. We would need, we would need a passage in the end to tell us why it would be, but the motives behind it, the motives behind it would be the issue. Bro, when is your hair going to grow back? Why, why would, why would I do such a thing? Why would that, that's like, you know, that'd be like me growing hair back would be like someone saying, when is he going to put one final stroke of the brush on the Mona Lisa? Why would, why would you mess with a work of art? If you're bald, you're halfway there, right? So anyway, uh, let's see. Let me, uh, let's, let's hear if we can go to the other questions. Christian Mar, Marania, Marania, my way of saying it would be Marana, but Marania asked, I would like to know if women can lead worship ministry in church. Thank you. The answer is possibly, there's a good chance yes, because if by lead, if you mean by getting up on stage and they're leading song, if they're leading songs, if there are participating in it, they have a lead role and so forth, well sure, because that does not violate what, uh, what we're giving in scripture that she couldn't have, uh, teach over or rule over or have authority over men. Now, if, if, if that's what you mean by that, her teaching and ruling over with them, that'd be a problem, but she's leading in worship, but no, that's not, there's nothing wrong with that at all. There's nothing, there's nothing biblically wrong with that at all. Now there's some that are going to come, come back and say, no, she can't, she has to shut up, she has to be quiet. Well, okay, that's not what the scriptures teach. So LA91 says, Matthew 20, matter of fact, let me do this, let me move yours, let me, let me skip, I'm gonna come back to yours in a second because I think yours is probably better suited, asked, um, with, in conjunction with another one. So let me do that, let's ask that one with another one. So let's go to spider monkey. Uh, are the book of the annals of kings of Israel, the book of chronicles? No, but you'll see these books talked about in, first and second kings, you'll hear them talking about these different books and you'll hear a statement such as, uh, is it not written or are they not written? They write things down. Remember what was written down was not only written down in the bible. A lot of things that were written down that aren't in the bible, they don't belong in the bible, but some things might be referenced to the bible in the bible because it was well known. It was something just, hey, isn't it? Don't you know about this? This was written. There are a lot of writings that have no business being in the bible, but someone in the bible might reference or mention that it's a known fact. It's not as though the people that wrote the bible, the characters in the bible acted as though there was nothing else ever written. They, they know full well if there are other things written. And oh, by the way, countries tend to do nations, what they would tend to do is write down the histories of what's taking place. And so these annals of the kings, you'd see who was this king, who was that person's king, who was in the, uh, in the so-called the royal family, so to speak, who did what? There were historical accounts written. As a matter of fact, when we read Esther, uh, the king has a night where he can't sleep, probably caused by the Lord. And so he has his, uh, his, his people to bring him the books, the histories of what's happened in the country. And he reads an interesting story about a man named Mordecai. And the question was, hey, wait a minute, what have we done about this guy, Mordecai, who I didn't even know, the man saved my life. Well, that was written down, because it was written down and he got to read it because God gave him insomnia, I believe. He asked to, uh, have this man come in. Interestingly enough, the funny story about, the funny thing about the story is the person that's outside waiting to have Mordecai hung is, uh, Heyman. Heyman comes in and, and the king says, what should we do about this person who's done this wonderful thing for the king? Well, Heyman is so narcissistic, he thinks he's talking about him and he gives him what we should. He said, go and do that to that man, Mordecai, who he wants to kill. Anyway, the point is that there are other books that are written, not biblical books, but oh, by the way, there are books that are spoken of that God mentions that we see mentioned in Revelation. There are other books. By the way, there's another book that we, that we all are familiar with, even though we don't know about it, or some of us know about it, that's called the book of the living, not the book of life, but the book of the living, the book of the living. All of us right now are in the book of the living. The book of the living is a book that keeps, and again, what does the book look like? Is it literal or figurative? Don't know. Um, but the book of the living is where all of our names of those who are alive at the moment are in. You've seen David wanting to have God to take people's name out of the book of the living, not the book of life, but the book of the living. So there are plenty of books other than the 66 books that we, by the way, we'll cover this later, but there aren't 66 books in the Bible. Some of the books were actually put together, but we divided them and made them into separate books and so forth. So interesting tidbit. We'll come back to that later, though. But anyway, the reason why I wanted to separate LA 91's question and move it later was because I also want to put it with Jeff's question. LA 91 asks a question. Matthew 20 verses 1 through 16, the parable of the workers in the vineyard, is there connection to Romans 9? Yes, it is not meant to be a direct parallel with it, but there's obviously something that's happening in Romans 9, 10 and 11, that has some relation to what Jesus is speaking of in Matthew 20. Let me say this, and this reason why I wanted to hold off on this is do you all realize who Jesus never spoke parables to? He didn't speak parables to Gentiles, he spoke parables to who? To the Jews. And in these parables, there was something important that they could have taken, but they did not. There's a reason why I said that. Let me, I'll come back to this parable in just a second, because I want to read the next question. I want to read the next question. Mitch is a troublemaker. I just happen to see that. So I'll answer that question, Mitch. I'll talk about, I'll come to you too, Ashley. I just happen to see both of your questions right there in front of me. But anyway, I want to read Jeff's question kind of in conjunction with what I'm just speaking of, because there's something interesting. I don't know if you all have noticed it lately on YouTube. I have, ever since, let's see, ever since, ever since, what day did that, was I on your show, Daryl? I can't remember what day I was on your show. Was that last Tuesday, last, I can't remember when it was. I can't remember when it was. But you might have seen an increased tick in the discussion of end time stuff, which is fine. Last Tuesday, okay, thank you. So now either tomorrow, more than likely, Wednesday, we'll cover more of this in depth. I wanted to wait until after I went on Daryl's show to cover what I wanted to cover, because I want to lay out something that's happening, and I don't think that people are getting it. Because sometimes you just read the Bible and it's like, okay, I got this, I got that. It ends up becoming information overload. And we forget that God has literally put this thing in a particular order. And he doesn't just say things just to say it. So for example, in Romans 20, I remember in Matthew 20, and really any other parable, these parables mean something. These parables, especially if they relate to Israel, there is something really, really important about these parables. I mean, when I say important, I mean really important. What God is doing is he's literally putting a truth in front of them, and they're not getting it. Why? They'll never be able to say, well, you didn't tell us, we didn't know. Yes, I did. As a matter of fact, I put it in your face. And I'll show you a couple of those maybe today, but definitely more so on either Tuesday or Wednesday. Because I want you all to see what some of these parables mean, not how we apply them. Remember, I said that when we look at the Bible, when we look at the scripture, there's only one interpretation. However, there can be many applications. Typically us Gentile sheepesses, especially us American sheepesses, or us American sheep, westernized sheep, we apply them differently than maybe others would. And we also, and because again, there can be a secondary application as well. And so sometimes we take our secondary application and make it have to be the preeminent application. And that's not the case. That's not the case with this Matthew 20 parable or really any other parable, the parable of the 10 virgins and so forth. And so there's some things that Jesus says that's like, if you guys just pay attention and listen, there's a lot of truth, not you guys, but the Jews. Because what he's doing is he's saying something for the benefit of the Jews who won't get it, but also for the benefit of the hearers who have the spirit in them, which will be some Jews, and then a whole lot of Gentiles. Are you with me? So that being stated, Jeff asks this question. He says, can you exegete Isaiah 6520 referring to the new heaven and earth? Is it, uh, is there still bodily death or that section is separate from the statement time of new heaven and earth? So let's go to Isaiah 65. Where is it on here? Okay. Isaiah 65, we're going to move this out. There we go. Why did I do that? Why did you do that, Cory? You're like, what is he doing? The way I had this set up, my notes are literally in front of the scriptures. And so they're literally in my way. So now I've got to move this over, make sure it shows up over here the correct way. So let's click on there. I think it is. Okay. I want to make sure that none of this is off so that you guys can see everything. Let's click that. Did that work? Okay. No, go back this way. All right, cool. I just want to make sure that none of the scriptures are off the screen. So let's go back to Isaiah. And by the way, once I finish, oh no, there's one more question, then I'll start marking you guys's question. Okay. So, so let's start reading Isaiah. You said to start off in Isaiah 60, starting 20. Let's start in 20. We won't start in 20, but we'll start earlier than that. Isaiah 65. Let's start in, you know what? We could start in 13 and work our way up, but let's just, let's start in verse 17. For behold, I create a new heavens and a new earth, and the former things will not be remembered or come to mind, but be glad and rejoice forever in what I create. For behold, I create Jerusalem for rejoicing and her people for gladness. I will also rejoice in Jerusalem and be glad in my people. There will look, he says, there will no longer be heard in her the voice of weeping and sound of crying. Here's what Jeff is getting at. No longer will there be in it an infant who lives but a few days. In other words, at this time, there won't be an infant who dies as an infant dies after a few days or a few months. That part we don't have to worry about. Or an old man who does not live out his days. What do you mean live out his days? Well, keep reading. For the youth will die at the age of 100, and the one who does not reach the age of 100 will be thought accursed. So at what timeframe is he speaking up? There's only one timeframe that he could be speaking of. Of course, we know this timeframe that he's speaking of is the millennium. And so here's the question that might be brought up. Do people will people die in the millennium? Well, according to this and other passages, yes. Remember what's happening here. First of all, here we've got God setting up his kingdom. Jesus is going to rule for 1000 years. I know that some people say that that's just a long time. But when I when I when I cover this, guys, I think it is one of the silliest arguments ever to state that it means only a long time. God could just as easily and he's done in the past, say that something is going to be for a long time or what have you or give an indefinite amount of time. But he literally tells us the number of years are with me. And so as he's doing so, we should take he. So when he tells us it will be 1000 years. Guess how many years we should be thinking 1000 years, just like when he tells us the tribulation will be seven years, we should be thinking seven years, just like when Jesus says that we know that he'll be dead for three days. How long? When should we be ready for him to get up in three days? How long to take from the creation? Six days. He gives us these numbers for a reason. Someone will say, what about the cattle 1000 Hills? First of all, he didn't say only the cattle on only a thousand years. As a matter of fact, it's such a silly argument to state that that doesn't mean first of all, and by the way, he wasn't stating an actual number, but he's given one, one, it's it's idiomatic, but to look at the context of the passage that speaks about the cattle 1000 Hills, he's speaking about the entirety of the world. He literally talks about having the whole world belonging to him. So the whole world belongs to him. And there's 1000 and two Hills, those, those other two Hills belong to him, however many Hills. And so no one mistakes that for anything. The only folks that will come back and argue that point will be those who don't want to adhere to this 1000 year reign. Oh, by the way, if it's not a little rain, well, then when was Satan bound and when was Satan no longer, when is Satan no longer deceiving the world? Tell me when that happened. Is that happening now? You couldn't make that say that that Satan is no is not, is not dealing with the world right now. You couldn't make that statement. Amen. Okay, I'm sorry about that. This cat, you can let him in. This cat is outside the door and he is one. He maybe wants to use a bathroom. Maybe he wants to come on. Maybe he wants to use a bathroom or maybe you can let him in. You can let him in or maybe he wants to get on camera. Who knows who knows, but he's me. I want a lot. So he I told you guys before. Yeah, he's going to the toilet. He's going to the cat toilet. The office, my office is the cat's bathroom. That's how I'm living. Anyway, so in the millennium, unfortunately, there will be death. However, people will live a long time. Notice what he says though, if you don't reach a certain age, what will you be thought of? You will be thought of as a curse. Remember, I said this before and I'll cover this in more detail that there will be somebody who is not going to be saved, who lives in the millennium. Now, everyone that comes out of the tribulation and then we go, this is how I see it, come out of the tribulation into the millennium. These are all saved people, but they'll have babies. We know they'll have babies because what does Isaiah tell us? They'll have babies. The babies will not die as infants. They will not die as infants. Also, there will be those who, if they don't live 200 years, they will be thought of as a curse. So that seems to indicate there will be some not so good people. Well, there must be some not so good people when after a thousand years and the devil is released, Satan is released, who is he going to get gathered together to fight against the believers and against Christ? These people that were born in this thousand years who aren't believers, everyone that's born in this thousand years won't be believers. Are you with me? So now how long will mankind live? If a person is born in the millennium and he's a believer, how long we live? We don't know. We don't know if he's going to live the entire thousand years or what we know the folk with the bodily who are resurrected with a brand new body, they will. But what about those who went through the tribulation and who don't have a body? I mean, don't have a glorified body. Are you following me guys? Thank you, Cameron. Cameron says I'm with you. I don't know where that started, why I started. Are you with me? Now, there are some passages I want to put up for you or I won't put them. I'll just read them to you. Remember the last enemy that will be destroyed will be death. And so if we rerevelation 20, then death. And matter of fact, let me just put on the screen. Let's just put on the screen. I'd rather do it that way. Let me copy and paste that and put it on the screen that way we can read it together. Now, this is AF, uh oh, my computer didn't want to spell out revelation for me. Ah, this thing is funny. If I have a space in it, it didn't tell me I have too many characters. Anyway, go to revelation 20. We see that after this this this battle, verse seven, when the thousand years are completed, again, he could have just he could have just said when this long time, this long period was completed. But no, he literally means why can't God meet? Why can't God mean a thousand? Why can't a thousand mean a thousand? I think he literally means that. And no, by the way, and someone and I saw it, Darryl, I saw the I saw the response that my brother gave. And what did he say that my response to when he said that this generation, that this means that, well, yeah, because this and that don't mean time. Y'all do realize some of y'all may know what I'm talking about. Some of you don't. When the Bible uses the word this, that mean or we use it, that mean time. It's a demonstrative pronoun. It does not mean a specific time. It means a specific something. It refers to something. And so when it says this generation, some might take that he means that this generation means that generation at that point in time. There's a big problem with that. There's a, do y'all know what big problem there is if, and I mean numerically speaking, and I'll finish this in Revelation, but there's a big problem numerically speaking about when he says this generation. I want y'all to think about this for a second. Matter of fact, let me ask you guys in the chat. Let's just let's just get you guys to to work with me real quick. And I don't want you to Google this. I want you to see off top of your head when Jesus is talking, when he's asked a question or said, hey, you see these, look at this wonderful temple and Jesus makes a statement about the temple being destroyed. By the way, one, one, I agree. I've got your question is next. So I'm going to, I'm going to answer your question just a second. But when Jesus is making a statement that none of these stones shall be left standing, where is this cat? I know he's in here somewhere. I'm sorry. I just, it just dawned on me. He's in here and he's quiet, which means he's up to something. I guess I can just look at the screen and if I see him behind me, I know he's behind me. Anyway, back to this. But here's the question. This generation and he's speaking of that these people will not, who are the people? Does anyone know who is Jesus speaking to? It's not, it's not a trick question. It's not a trick question. When Jesus is giving his, what we call all of it discord, when he is speaking, Matthew 23 and 24, who is Jesus speaking to? Does anyone know as quickly as you can, who do y'all know that Jesus is speaking to? Because this is something that I think, I think would also be a benefit. Matter of fact, I think, yes, Jeff says the disciples, but do y'all realize all the disciples aren't, matter of fact, most times that when Jesus speaking to disciples, or I shouldn't say most of them, I haven't possibly, but a lot of times when Jesus speaking to disciples, all of the disciples aren't there. But in this case, do you know which disciples were there? There were eight disciples that were missing. At this conversation, there were eight disciples missing. And if you were speaking to just a disciple or to that generation, well, we know that there were some that actually died. Do y'all know any disciples? If he meant that generation that they wouldn't die, you know which general, you know who's missing? Well, we know a disciple that was missing. We know, we know that Judas was missing. He died. Well, Jesus, you got that one wrong. Is there anyone else that died? And was there anyone else that died in between the time that Jesus makes that statement and later? Well, yeah, we, matter of fact, we know two guys on the cross with Jesus had died. So what does he mean then? He's speaking of four disciples, Peter, James, Andrew and John. Those are the four disciples that he's speaking to. They asked him a question. Not all the disciples with her. I don't want to belabor this point or what have you, but if we just step back and look at what's being said, that doesn't have to be a whole lot of difficulty with understanding. And oh, by the way, everything was not fulfilled. Even if you want to say by 780, it could not have been fulfilled. We'll talk about this on either tomorrow or Wednesday. But back to Jeff's question. All of this is interrelated. Let's go back to Revelation 20. When the thousand years, because I take this to be literal, someone says, well, you can't say certain things literally because I'm so hungry, I can eat elephant. Well, have I not stated that part of the literal, grammatical, historical hermeneutic necessarily entails similes, figures of speech, metaphors, idioms, all of that ought to be taken place. We understand all of that. Even if I'm given a literal instruction on how to cook, and I say, give a pinch of salt, or what's a pinch? Well, do I mean a literal pinch of salt? Okay, fine. You know what I mean. But I still want to hear what everyone else's hermeneutic is. And those that have critiqued me, you know what they haven't done? Have not given their hermeneutic. I want to hear your, don't critique mine, or anyone else's. Let's hear yours. Oh, I don't have one. Okay, well, then fine. Or you do tell us what it is. Let us see if you maintain any consistency. I tried to. Now, my point is, what do I always say? You read it literally until you can't. Can I read a literal thousand years here? Can I read that literally? I can. Is there a reason not to? There's no reason not to. But Cory, Satan will be released from his prison. Was he literally in a prison? Well, this word here for phyllochase does not mean a jail cell with bars and so forth and guards. Is that what it means? Or him being bound with actual literally little keys and adult? No. That's our thinking entering in to the fray. So after 1000 years, he is bound not to deceive. Does it look like Satan is deceiving either literally or figuratively? Does it look like he's deceiving the nations? Yes, he is. But all this has to fit though. Everything has to fit. So you can't take one passage that seems to mean this, but doesn't fit with everything else. Let's see. We'll see on tomorrow or Wednesday if all of these fit. But now he says Satan will be released from his prison and will come out to deceive the nations which are in the four corners of the earth. So he's got it. There's some people that's going to be deceived. Gog and Magog to gather them together for the number of them is like the sand. So it's going to be a bunch of them and they came up on the broad plane of the earth and surrounded the camp of the saints and the beloved city. Now it's going to be a pretty easy fight. It's going to be a pretty easy fight. It's like me and five of you guys or four of you guys going out and we're going to play basketball against the NBA champs. It's just wanting to be fair, right? Even more so here because a fire comes down this consumes them. It's going to be the easiest fight. It's going to be the easiest fight ever. Now look what's being stated here. Let's go down to verse 11. Then I saw a great white throne judgment and him who sat upon it, from whose presence the earth and heaven fled away and no place was found for them. And I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne and books plural. We said we talked about other books were open, which is the book of life and the dead were judged from the things which were written in the book according to their deeds. This is where I'm getting your question more so Jeff and the sea gave up the dead which were in it and death and Hades gave up the dead which were in them and they were judged every one of them according to their deeds. Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire and if anyone's name was not found written in the book of life he was thrown into the lake. Now one more pass I want to read and then I'll make your question make sense even more so Jeff. 21 I think it's three. I think it's three. Yeah three, three and four. Okay and I heard a loud voice, chapter 21 verse 3. A loud voice was thrown saying, behold the tabernacle of God is among the men and he will dwell among them and they shall be his people. Listen to this guys and God himself will be among them. Here's a question, here's a statement and God himself will be among them. What does he say he'll do in verse 4? He will wipe away every tear from their eyes and there will no longer be any death. There will no longer be any mourning or crying or paying the first things that passed away. So after reading Elijah, Isaiah 65 there seems to be some death in the millennium. Well yes because the very last enemy that will be done away with will be death. When will death be done away with? After Satan is defeated and we read about it in Revelation 21, 3 and 4. So yes there will be, now how does all that work out? He didn't give us a lot of detail but then again there's a lot things he didn't give us a lot of detail about. So I think we have more than enough reason I'll say this over and over again to take this as literally as it can and then where there's idioms or figures of speech to take in, we'll take those in and add them but it doesn't change anything. So that's a lot which is why Darrell by the way I did not, there's no way for me to go into all of that when I was on your show because I would need to lay my foundation, take about an hour and then ask and answer questions that were asked. So but the good news is this because again as I said before this goes right along with God's character, him not destroying, him not destroying people who are righteous. There's no need for it. What's my favorite book on eschatology? Layman asks, my favorite book on eschatology? I don't have one. I don't have one. I don't have one. I really don't have one. I don't know. So now when I create ask the question. So I don't want to be a pastor but I don't know if I'm called to be one. What should I do? Here's what you should do if you are if you want to be a pastor, if you are thinking about being a pastor. There's a lot to be okay let's just go to the qualifications. The qualifications are let's just let's just do it. Let's just do it first Timothy. First Timothy 3. We could also go to Titus if we want to. Let's just deal with this one. It's a trustworthy statement. He must be well obviously male but an overseer must then be above reproach. Well what does that mean? You need to be someone that people look at you that they don't have any any current accusations. Does that mean that no one will ever be able to bring an accusation against you or they don't have any? Well they brought accusations against Jesus. There's always going to be somebody who's going to have something to say but we're talking about kind of as a whole. What is it? What is the general consensus? If people can see especially believers can see and even unbelievers can see that this person is a person who's above reproach. Not mean he's above a law but mean he's not involved in sin. Does it mean that he's never been involved in sin? No it doesn't mean that he's never been involved in sin because that were the case then no one no one qualifies. Someone even made this statement about me which is fine that it is perfectly fine if they if they believe so. Well Corey you're not qualified to be a pastor because because you sin because of your sin and your sin happened while you were saved. Your sin happened while you were even an associate pastor. You're going to have to give me the passages to back that up. Now it may be that I'm not qualified to be your pastor. That's fine. That's fine because there are some people who will not sit under certain people for whatever reason. I've said before you have these have to be current. You have to currently be able to qualify. So are you currently above reproach? Not were you above reproach five years ago, ten years ago. Now there's an issue about that though. There is an issue regarding your stance before the people. How people look at you. There is an issue regarding that. We'll look at that in a second because it also may be that certain things that you've done might disqualify you not scripturally but because of something that's in the scripture. Here's what I mean. The husband of one wife means or a one woman man a one husband I mean one wife husband so you've got one wife. Does that mean that the person could have had a divorce? It doesn't mean that. Honestly it really doesn't. However you do want to look at the pattern of a person's life to determine hey this guy is not trustworthy. There are I know of one particular person who is he is a pastor actually he's a false teacher right now but he was a false he was a false teacher then and he he had a wife. Marriage looked like he was going fairly well no one I don't know what it was like but he decided that the Lord told him that the his current wife was not his wife and so he left her and married another woman. The rumor was that she was already with child. I don't know that to be the case but the point is God will not tell you do that hey the Lord had me in the wrong I was in the wrong place and the reason why I was not getting blessed like I wanted to get blessed was because I was I was operating in the wrong not the wrong season but in the wrong space well that's a lie that that's a lie so but does that disqualify him from being a pastor? It could but not according to that particular portion of it I'll show you why he might be disqualified further on now was he disqualified at that moment certainly because if you're in sin at the moment that you're in sin or going through something you're disqualified you cannot be living a life of sin while leaving people let's continue though he says he must be temperate you have to be able to control yourself handle yourself being a pastor when I create is there are times where you want to say some things do some things and you just can't it's just if you can't bite your tongue if you can't shut up sometimes and you have no business being a pastor if you don't know how to be quiet if you don't know how to hold your peace ponder some things if you always have a reaction to something or someone you're not you're not qualified you have no control and so that's what it means the person needs to be temperate and there are many people and by the way being able to teach that I've said before there are people on youtube who can who can teach who have a good hold of some parts of the scripture but their delivery and delivery matters deliver delivery absolutely matters we to be tenderhearted to be loving and kind towards others especially if you're even more so if you're a pastor so temperate prudent respectable you must be respect if people don't respect you then now who determines if you're respectable well again that's got to be a general consensus if five people out of a thousand don't find you respectable but that's that that didn't disqualify you now if only five out of one thousand finds you respectable now we got a problem see this is where the size of the group absolutely does matter it does absolutely matter I said before if you want to know if your leader look back see who's if anyone's following you no one's following you then then you don't worry about it you're not a leader but if you want to know what kind of a leader you are what kind of pastor you would be look back and see what kind of people are following you if people that are following you are a bunch of heretics because you're heriting if we go to follow you love false teaching love signs and wonders because you're your false teacher your heritage you love signs wonders it is what it is if the people that are following you, love to fight, argumentative, or angry people, immature, that's because that's what you are. If the people who are following you love the word, love to learn, love to grow deep, love other people, that tells you what kind of leader you are. They're not gonna be perfect. I mean, look at the people that follow Jesus. But those are the things that you wanna strive for. Going back to it again, hospitable. I think that's self-explanatory. What about able to teach? The person must naturally be able to teach in Ephesians four. We see the passage that says that some have confused it for being this five-fold ministry, but it's four. It is the apostle first, then the prophets, then we have the evangelist, and then we have the shepherd teacher. The poem which is a shepherd which we associate as the pastor teacher, that's one. So the shepherd teacher, the pastor teacher, that's one. He must be able to teach. There's no such thing as a pastor who does not teach. So if, now, there's nothing wrong with also a pastor getting up and giving topical sermons. Those are fine. As a matter of fact, those are needed. Jesus gave topical sermons as well as expounding on other passages. That's fine. But if all you can do is talk about current events, you can't break the scriptures down. You want to take the scriptures and now you wanna make them relate. You want to make them relate how that this passage can apply to these people's lives. You've got to be a teacher. And it varies from place to place, okay? Not addicted to wine or any other drug. Or let's just say not addicted, period. Pugnacious. What is this word pugnacious? This is where we get this word violent from, violent. Now, violent doesn't mean that you're going around beating up people, but violent can mean that you wanna, that you want to beat up people. You talk violently, recklessly, harmfully, abusively. That's what this passage, that's what that is, pugnacious. If that's the person, I think I saw K. Dewey had a video out today where he, I'm coming to you, BJ, where he, the guy had a bat with a Bible. He had a bat with a Bible wrapped around the bat, taped around the bat. Well, that kind of, not necessarily violent himself, but violent acting or violent talking. We used to have a saying for people when a guy looks a certain way, but tells us he's a fighter, and we'll say, well, you don't look like much of a fighter. What do you mean? Well, look how you're built. What do you mean? How I'm built? What's like I do with anything? Well, you're built like you've never fought, which tells me you've never fought. You've never at least prepared for it. So you might be one of those guys that do a lot of your talking in the corner that make you a fighter. Cause you know, growing up, that's just kind of how the way we look at things. And so there's a lot of folks that are not necessarily fighters physically, but their mouths are violent and they want to move other people to violence. Are you with me? They hate something so much so, but they're not, but they don't have the ability to do anything about it. So they want to move you to do something about it. We saw that in Hitler, but gentle. So not pugnacious or violent, but instead gentle. That means that you're weak. That means you're soft by being gentle. You can be gentle. Listen, I know some guys that are tough, but gentle also. There's some guys I just, I thank God they were more gentle. The guy I told you about, Big Arkansas. So glad he became gentle. That guy could hurt everybody. He didn't hurt anybody, but he really did have a gentle spirit in him. He really did. I know another guy. What is it about Samoans? That they just, they come out, they're born six foot four. And we're playing flag football and this other guy who was a pretty big guy himself come around the corner and Joey Big Samoan guy just blocks him and lays him out. This guy, just a big old strong boy, but he's just so gentle. Sweet spirit and gentle guy. I mean, he stayed there. He was like praying over the guy, just hurt that he was upset that he hurt the guy. Well, the past ought to be that way as well. You are concerned about other people. Free from the love of money. You didn't, you didn't see this as a means of gain your whole, go your whole outlook. Isn't to gain money. That's because what could you do with the church? You could abuse that position very easily. He says he must manage his own household well, keeping his children under control with all dignity. Now this is, I believe speaking of what it has to be. It has to be speaking of his children that are in the house. At a certain point in time, you're no longer under your father's house, but you are on your own, especially your man. But if a man does not know how to manage his own household, as we know so, his own household, how will we take care of the church of God? And not a new, obviously not a new convert, which is someone who just got saved a year or two or three ago and now I say, no, you're still a new convert. Because that person will become, as he says, conceited and fall into condemnation curve by the devil. Here it is, he must have a good reputation with those outside of the church. This is why I said that some, you may have committed a sin that sin might not nullify you, but it's this part right here. You gotta have a good reputation, one with those inside the church, but also those outside the church. Why? Because you gotta bring those folks outside the church in the church. Well, I'm not one of the, this guy's horrible. This guy, this guy was at the club with me. This guy, no. Now, it may be that you have not done anything worth condemnation really in the last several years. It may have been five years ago or 10 years ago or 15 or 20 or 30 or 40, 50 years ago, who knows? If the reputation of you is still lingering, that would be a problem. If I were to plan a church, but a previous reputation of mine lingers, that would be a problem. Have I overcome that yet? What do you think about me or the pastor, whoever the pastor is, when you see them? I can't get past the fact that you killed 12 people. I can't get past the fact that you did this. I can get, well then, unfortunately, you might have what you've done was so bad. It's silly, not necessarily the name of the Lord anymore, but it's silly you and your ability to get up and lead the people. That becomes an issue. And so if you want to be a pastor, there's other things that also require you. You gotta manage your time well. This is not qualification, but when someone wants to speak with you, you are shepherding people who have issues. And so they need to talk with you and consult with you and you gotta go visit them. You gotta pray with them. That's another thing that I heard a pastor say, I love pastoring. I just can't stand the people. Well, you shouldn't be a pastor. So anyway, young brother, I hope that helps. So now let's go into some of the questions. Oh, by the way, thank you guys so much. I didn't get a chance to say it as I was going, but when I create Michael LeMay, DeVita, J word, oh wait. Otis, thank you as well. BJ's like, thank you all for the super chats and super stickers. I appreciate that. Would you say, how do you donate? Well, you can do it that way. I would, you know what? She's the one that helped me do it. Ask, ask, if I can get it out. Ask Diana. By the way, let me just say this. I'm not sure what condition I'll be in tomorrow. Hopefully I'll be fine, but I gotta go see that dentist again tomorrow. So that's why I have been set up in stone while I'll be doing them all. So I don't know. So I just want to put that out there. How come pastors never talk about grieving the Holy Spirit? Well, they should. And what exactly is grieving the Holy Spirit? Grieving the Holy Spirit is, there are things the Holy Spirit wants to do to work in you. You still have some control, don't you? You know, let's say the Lord wants, but you just feel the Spirit moving you to pray. I don't feel like praying. You just feel the Spirit moving you to read your Bible. I don't feel like reading my Bible. Well, those are the things that, and the word that's used there is the word we eat. It's like suppressing. So you are suppressing, you're holding back. But now there's gonna be this gnawing feeling in you, like something that's just chewing at your soul. Well, that's the Holy Spirit convicting you. And so there should be that. Nowadays, there's more talk of kind of doing what you want to, being happy and so forth. No, God's not called you to be happy. God has called you to be obedient, which is the point of Him putting the Holy Spirit in us, in our heart, amen? So if the pastors aren't speaking about that, they should because the point and the whole purpose of talking about the Spirit being grieved is addressing individual sin. Mitch, the troublemaker, asked, is Calvinism a fake gospel? No, it's not a fake gospel. Let me just say this as a matter of fact also. Just like, depending upon how you preach it, Arminism is not a fake gospel. Provisionism is not a fake gospel. And other different sociological systems aren't necessarily fake gospel. Here's why. The good news is, or the gospel, the good news is that Christ paid a price that you couldn't pay on the cross. And if you place your faith in Him, then you shall be saved. I think all of those that I just named, they all go along with that. That's what they preach. The issue is how we get there. The Calvinists will say that you couldn't get there on your own and so you were predestined, you were chosen and so forth. The Armenians will say differently. The issue is not how you got there, that you got there, that you must place your faith in Christ. After that's being done, we sit around with our big heads and so forth and try to figure out, well, how do I, I think it came about this way. No, I think it happened this way. Know what happened this way. But all we're concerned about, that we must accept is that you must place your faith without acknowledging Him as Lord, you cannot be saved. You cannot be saved. BJS, why is, why are nine of the 10 commandments found in the New Testament? Are we as Christians obligated to keep them? Okay, so what God tells us to do in the old, we're only obligated to do in the new if we're told to do in the New Testament. Meaning there are some things that are just hard and fast rules of God that's not gonna change, she's not gonna part of it. And so if this is what God wants us to do, no matter what, whether there was an old covenant, a new covenant, whether it was 10 commandments, whether it was in the, because guess what you could, in the garden, you couldn't, you couldn't steal. In the garden, you couldn't kill. In the garden, you couldn't bear false witness. In the garden, you couldn't have enough of God and then even going forward. So they will iterate, and I say iterate because that's actually the proper word I said to reiterate, but they will reiterate what we should be doing. There are some things that were given that were for the law, but in terms of the Sabbath, that wasn't given, that wasn't given to us, but everything else was basically, not having another God before him, not coveting, not lying and so forth. So those important things begin, we're gonna find out even what we were told in the New Testament, post-cross, or while Christ was on the planet walking, we still have a hard time keeping up with that. We're still writing people, which is why going back to Ashley's question, which is why we need to be taught. It needs to be preached about grieving the Holy Spirit. Anyway, so now let me go ahead and start answering some of these, wow, I've missed a lot, I'm sorry, but I had to answer those other questions, take a long time to answer those questions, so let me start answering some of these questions, I'm sorry. The difference between, uh-oh, hold on, the difference between conviction and condemnation. It seems like when any correction is given, many cry, judging, but it's probably Holy Spirit. The difference between convicting, if it's the truth, it should be convicting. Matter of fact, even if it's the truth, it will be convicting whether you like it or not. Condemnation is the punishment. Convicting is accepting the fact that you messed up, if something wrong happened. The condemnation part. Now, we can verbally condemn someone, but ultimately the condemnation comes from Christ. For, the freak said, for 1st Timothy 620, okay. Give, first Timothy, I'm already in 1st Timothy, so 1st Timothy 620. Oh, Timothy, guard what has been entrusted to you, avoiding worldly and empty chatter and opposing arguments of what is falsely called knowledge, which some have professed and thus gone astray from the faith. There are people, I don't know if you want me to get 21 in there, but I'll throw 21 in there as well. There are people who they're more interested in giving whatever sounds come out of their mouth. You would all find this interesting, my wife would probably tell you. I don't talk nearly as much when I'm not here. Somebody said, Cory, all I hear you do is talking. What's cause you're watching the video? You goofball, what else? What else would I do if you turn on the channel and you see me here and I'm not talking? It's gonna be a pretty boring video. So you'll hear me talking here, but when the camera goes off, yeah, okay. I mean, I talk, you know. I'm just, wait a second though, wait a second. Where is this cat? It just hit me, where is this cat? He's gotta, he never left. Okay, I'm sorry. It's freaking me out. The reason I was gonna say that is because I talk to the cat, I talk to the dogs, I talk to my children, I talk to my wife. So I talk, I talk, I don't talk a lot though. I don't talk a lot, or I might talk about something I saw. What's, I don't know what's happened to me. Now I'm in the mode of, it finally hit me guys, where I'll see a funny video and I'm sharing it with my wife. I'm just sharing just goofy videos with my wife. So no, I've never heard the cat. I'm just wondering where he is. He just, he does stuff. He does stuff and so you have to watch him. You have to watch this cat. It's why I keep my cup. I used to keep my cup over here, but I can't anymore because he creeps up and goes a licking it. And then you guys don't tell me that he licked it and then I go drinking it and that's just growth. So I have to keep it over here. But he's in here somewhere and I just can't see him. So anyway. But James, I mean, James, Peter, Timothy, I'll get it straight, Timothy, there are folks that just love giving their opinions, saying stuff, having these little empty conversations, especially if it's, I don't have a conversations about folks who I know aren't trying to hear the gospel. They just have their minds made up about what they're gonna say. A lot of debates are like that. Now, if there's an audience that can benefit from the debate or the conversation with an amen, but having the conversation just for the sake of having the conversation, being there, done that, that was so 30 years ago for me. My old mantra was if I see a good argument, I'm gonna jump in it. If I see a good argument, I'm walking away. For what? For, I have gotten to the conclusion that I realized that you're not gonna be convinced against your will by me. So, but if I genuinely feel that maybe you are looking within it, okay, fine. And so, getting into these worldly conversations, these philosophical arguments, whatever, let's say if I wanna have a conversation with, I don't know, Stephen Hawking. Is he still alive? Whoever. I won't do it. Why? Because that's what that is. And there are some people who do that now who call themselves Christians, but they have talked themselves out of what they thought was the faith because they actually, they never had an actual heart attachment to it. They had a head attachment to it. It made sense to them until some other new philosophy came around and began to make sense to them. So, if it helps, hope it helps. Okay. And I'm sorry, I gotta scroll back up and start finding some of these questions again. Or just start asking the questions again, guys, because I have to scroll all the way up. For those who have passed away, we are told that they are looking down on us. We don't know that for sure. I know that it can be comforting, but it's not biblical. It's not biblical. We're not told that. It could be true. It can be true, but just not biblical. And all I mean by that is that it's just not in the Bible. So we don't know if that'd be true. We have no idea. Now, maybe an indication that those who are in the grave dead on the way to the lake of fire might be able to look up. We don't know. Somebody might be able to blame that from the story of Lazarus and the rich man, but we don't know. We don't know. And if it were me and I'm in heaven, why in the world would I want to, if I could see, because again, they don't have the same abilities that God has where he can see everything. So we're not told that, that we get that as a result of born in heaven. We're not told that. But then why would you want to? Yeah, I know we think we're important to our loved ones, but our loved ones have found places much better. So as a young believer, how can I minimize trip ups in my walk to grow? Let me just say this, Chadwick, you can't nor should you. Sounds weird, doesn't it? Yeah. You can't minimize these missteps, nor should you. First of all, it's impossible. But the reason why I'm saying nor should you is because that's how you learn. That's how you grow. You're not born walking straight. So you're gonna fall, you're gonna mess up. Now, how you can make these missteps, not be constant missteps. In other words, I'm not tripping over the exact same thing over and over again. If you fall, it should be over something new, okay? If you fall, it should be over something new. But the way you can fix that is when you fall, go to someone who's been there. Use these old people in your life. You know, the ones you're sick of listening to? God, I hate talking to this man. He's just, or this old woman. She's always, talk to him. You might be surprised. You might go to grandma and find out. Grandma, she had the same problem you had. Grandmama, you was out in the streets? Yeah, baby, let me tell you. You don't think that of grandma. But people had passed to Christians. It's not that we don't sin. It's we recognize our sin and that we're weak. And that we go to the one who can fix us. So Max W. Dub wants me to answer his question. So let me go to Max. Okay, Max, we're gonna have to answer. I'm only gonna be able to answer one of these because there's a lot of questions coming in. Is Israel spiritual or physical? Because in the Old Testament, they were a real nation. They are still a real nation. They all 12 tribes or a spiritual 12. It's a little 12. I mean, it's a little matter of fact, in Revelation, we see that 144,000 are made up of actual Jews, little Jews. So Israel is a literal nation. It's not, it's not spiritual. It's physical. Paul, and your other question is reference in Romans nine. Paul in Romans nine, 10 and 11, he's talking about how he wishes that he could be a curse for his countrymen. His countrymen who are Jews of the flesh. So they are actual literal physical Jews. There is no spiritual Jew. Think about what's happening now. We have a nation over there that's occupying that land. It brought back in 1940, that should, that really should just open up everyone's eyes. The fact that for a thousand years or so, they weren't in that land. People thought that, well, we gotta, maybe we're the new, maybe we're the new Israel. But then they get put back in the land and how is Israel behaving? How is, thank you too, my friend. I gotta give you some pub. How is Israel behaving? Israel is behaving because people are gonna act as though well the problem with Israel is they're not acting right. The problem with Israel, they're not accepting their Messiah as Messiah, but we are. We must be, no, guess what? God has stated Israel is gonna act like. Israel is acting just like the Bible told us they were going to act. So guess what? We should even know even more so. Remember, there's a spiritual, because if Israel was a spiritual Israel, if we are, for example, Israel, well then he's blinded our eyes too. We've got a, we've got a spiritual stupor, a partial hardening over us as well. But that can't be us. No, that's over the actual physical Israel. Now, who are all actual Jews? Folks have been intermarrying and so forth for the longest. We don't know, but guess who does know? God does. So that's it, Lady T. The church is the church, not a spiritual Israel. Okay, let me take a few. Wow, it's six o'clock. I'm sorry, I took too long on some of these other questions. I am sorry. Let me answer this question. I wanna answer this. Near-death experiences, are they real accounts? He said, Mr. Corey, must be a younger person. Younger folks called me Mr. Corey. We don't know because the Bible doesn't say what he's really doing with someone who was on, because can you, let's say a person dies, not dies, but they're out, they're unconscious. And can the Lord speak to them while they're out? Yeah, the Bible, where we get hung up on is when some of these other charlatans come up and say, the Lord has talked to me, and he's talked to me every day. He's taken me to heaven. He's taken me to hell. He's taken me to the Garden of Eden, which people have said. He's taken me, some folks said he's taken me, the Lord took me to the ark. It was broken in two pieces, and he let me walk around it. Okay. And so because we hear this kind of goofy stuff, our knee-jerk response is to disregard them. Can God, I don't know, let's say someone's going through something and the Lord, I heard a guy this weekend at my brother-in-law service, the guy I got up and said something to my, was speaking about how, and this guy was known to, as they said, pretty bad. I'm gonna say who he is. But even his own testimony is pretty bad. And then some health issues happened, and he just felt the Lord was impressing upon his heart and what could be. Now, could there be God? Could there be an angel? Could there be the Holy Spirit? Don't know. But his life since then is different. Okay, fine. Now, is he one of these guys, one of these kooks out here going around saying the Lord is the Lord? No, he's not, he's not. We don't know about these near-death experiences. We don't even know what happens when a person is like right at that state for leaving here and going to heaven. Let's say, let's choose heaven. What is happening? You keep hearing about people give these stories, these testimonies as they're leaving and they're kind of half out of what they're talking and they're talking about a light that may be. The Bible doesn't say. And so because of that, it'd be kind of hard to judge it. It really would. As long as what they're saying is not unbiblical, then okay, fine. If that's that person's testimony, then as long as that testimony is not unbiblical, then we're good. We're good. Well, by the way, Max W Dubb, Max W Dubb, I will cover more of that in the next day or two anyway. So, let me ask some more of these questions. Why is Romans seven about the believer rather than the unbeliever? You know what, Neland, send me an email because the reason why is because it will take a little while for that and I can't do it right now because I want to try to get as many as possible, but I've heard enough people ask or talk about Romans seven. So, that requires a video. That requires a video. Taylor E, how do we seek unity in the body while not sacrificing truth of scripture? You just answered it. We, by seeking unity, without sacrificing the truth of scriptures, if I tell you the truth of scripture and bothers you, well, then guess what? Maybe you're not part of the body or eventually you'll come around. I'll never forget this one guy. He was so angry, so upset with me. Brother Chris, he's since changed and come around and so I can say this, but he said, Corey, I heard a bad rumor and I refused to believe it. I think you're a godly man. So, I know this ain't true. He said, someone told me that you believe that you can't lose salvation. I said, I don't believe that. I don't believe you can lose salvation. What? Oh, he was angry. He was hot. I said, we'll hear what the scripture say. And I was going through it halfway through. He says, I don't care what you showed me. I'm not gonna believe what you just said. All right, brother, then I can do about it. So, he was angry, didn't wanna talk to me, eventually came back around. I said, you know, I apologize. The Lord's been working in me. Well, okay, fine. Now, I've been nice, I was nice to him. I didn't say anything bad about him and talk about him behind his back, any of those things. I still, and I would speak to him, hey, go up and hug him or whatever. He was kind of a cold hug on his part. But I sought unity, but I was not gonna compromise the truth. Same thing with someone, let's say they're involved in the sin. Same thing. Listen, I love you. I love you to death. And God will love you to death, literally, to death. So, I have had arguments about things in the world with Christians who are elders and have been told to live and let live. Yeah, all you can do is all you can do. Now, I don't know the situation, so I can't speak on your particular situation, but we're gonna follow the scripture. The scripture's gonna be preeminent. Now, remember though, how we deal with people and how we give the scriptures, you don't wanna, hey, you a dirty rotten so-and-so because the Lord told me that. The scripture says, you ain't nothing but some trash. You just filthy rags. Okay, you're not gonna win that person. There's a way to give the scriptures, as Paul says to do so, considering our own selves, so. But we will never reduce the importance of the scriptures. When a church as a whole practices quoting Malachi along with tithing, yeah. And quoting financial conventions of faith isn't, without question, it's unbiblical. It's without question, unbiblical. So, yeah, I think you asked that question because you knew the answer. Because yes, that's true. That is without, I'm just messing with you. That is without question, unbiblical. Okay, I'll look this up. Bill Bill says, when Jesus says, if you look with lust, you commit adultery in your heart. What does the Greek say? All right, heart. So, let's just do this. Uh-oh, Matthew 5, 28. But I say to everyone who looks at a woman with lust, no, no. Epithumia, or in this case epithumise, or mesai, means to desire, you know what? I guess it could be. You know what, let's do this. Let's look up lust. Let's see how it's used elsewhere. You might be onto something. Bill, you might be onto something. Yeah? Yeah? Yep, same word. Same word. So, dogma, Bill. That's why you're on this. That's why you're a smart Christian. So he says, if you look with lust, you commit adultery in your heart. In the Greek, is it covet or lust? It's the same word. It's the exact same word, which is the word epithumeo, which is to desire. However, this desire is not the same as the other desire, this word. Well, actually it's two of the desires. But the one that we're thinking of is teleo, which is to desire, I wish I want you to. But this is a good desire, like God desires. So, yeah. Good job, Bill. Oh, go on it. Smart Christian, you. No, we got a problem here. We got a problem. We got a trope maker asking a question, and I'm kidding. Please explain why Matthew, 1721, missing in some Bibles like the United Beings. So let's go to Matthew. I got to answer for you though. So, we have this passage here. But this kind, speaking of this, well, let's go up. Then disciples came to Jesus privately and said, why could we not drive it out? That is the demon. And he said to them, because of the littleness of your faith, for truly I say to you, if you have faith, the size of must receive, you will say to this mountain, move from here to there, and it will move and nothing will be impossible. But this kind, what kind? This kind of faith does not go out, except by prayer and fasting. Now, some of your verses might even say, as a matter of fact, I think it's, let's go to this one. I think it's Mark. I think so, I think so, I think so. Yep, but this kind, same, this kind cannot come out by anything but prayer. Some verses might have added, such as Matthew 17, 21, that whole portion is missing. Some versions, or you go to Luke, I mean, Mark, it says this kind comes out by, not but by prayer. Some of your verses might say prayer and fasting. Well, why is this version missing here, specifically to your answer or your question, why is this missing? Well, because some of the earlier or best attestive manuscripts don't have that in there. People jump on the NIV. Now, the reason why I think it's kind of good to answer this question. People jump on the NIV and impugn it because it's missing some versions, some verses that the King James Version has. And how you relate this is to say that, well, wait a second, the King James Version has it, and then these modern versions don't have it. So then why would you take this verse out? But what if you read the NIV and the NIV had, let's see, let's go to Matthew, I'm just gonna make up something. What if you go to Matthew, chapter 28, and the NIV had Matthew, chapter 28, verse 21? What would you feel about that? How would you feel if the King James Version stopped at Matthew 28, verse 20, but the NIV stopped at verse 21? Would you feel the same way about the NIV? Now, the King James Version is missing verse 21. Well, it's not what's missing. It's this version versus that version. And since the NIV is a later version than the King James Version, well then that proves that the NIV has taken away. But then what if someone comes to you and says, wait a second, I'm just now reading the King James Version. I've been reading this other Bible that's far older than the King James Version, and your King James Version has added verse 21 in Matthew 17. Now what do you do? Because now we're talking about a version that's older. You all do realize the King James Version is not the oldest. There are some that would have said that, matter of fact, there were some that did say that the King James Version at its time was a modern translation. Now what do you do? If the modern translation has added a version, what would you say? So all we can do is go with the best attested to manuscripts because if it's just as bad to take away a verse, then it's also just as bad to add. I have a way in Genesis 22, when he says that anyone who adds or takes away from this, he's not talking about, in this case, verses like that. That's not what he means. First of all, he's talking about one thing specifically in Revelation 22, but if we take that as a whole, he's talking about the message, the message. We don't, the NIV, the KJV, the New King James Version, the ESV and ESV, the message is the same. I was listening to one guy give a debate about once he got saved and he was used to talking about the King James Version. A guy goes to this passage and he says, well, I like the way the King James Version says that your ESV version is wrong because the word is this word instead of that word. Well, neither one of those words were there in the beginning because these are Greek words. And so if you read the Greek, it's the same meaning whether it's the NASV, ESV or the King James Version in the particular passage he was talking about. But the point is we don't wanna venerate the King James Version. We don't wanna venerate the ESV or the ESV. We don't want to, now you can have a preference. So if you're a King James Version person, say I'm a KJV FM, I'm a KJV FM, I'm a King James Version for me, but don't be a King James Version on this because again, that means that the word didn't go out until we got the King James Version. Would that be almost kinda blasphemous? So sometimes it helps to see if the passage actually even showed up because the King James Version, one example is 666. Is that the number of the beast? Well, but the two oldest fragments say 616. Now what do we do? Now what do you do? Does it change anything? No, it doesn't change one thing. Let's ask a few more questions. Let's take a few more questions. Why are you so hostile against people who believe the church has replaced it? I didn't think I was hostile. If, listen, if I come across as hostile, I apologize. I don't mean to. So if I come across as hostile, arrogant, mean, I apologize. Now, do you forgive me? I don't mean to come across as hostile. There he is. I think that's him. I hear him. Oh yeah. Wait a minute. Okay. I don't know who's only at the door. I think the dog, I think the dog is only at the door and the cat is trying to get out. It's a madhouse here. But again, I don't, I'm not bothered or angry. I think it creates a problem when we see that and I'll keep asking for passages to tell us that the church has replaced Israel. And then, cause you're gonna have to tell me who has been given this spirit of stupor. You're gonna have to tell me who has a partial hardening and what's gonna happen when the time, when the fullness of the Gentiles has come. So, but I don't, I apologize if I come across that way. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. But most importantly, do you forgive me? I need you to forgive me. I will not continue. I will not continue if I do not know that you have forgiven me. Have I rebuked you? No, no, I can't, listen. I have to realize that the cat is a cat. I don't want this cat to act like anything but a cat. You know why? Cause there are times where he's a jerk. There are times where he's just a jerk. He will just jump on the cat, one of the dogs, just because he just dust up. He thinks this is his house, meaning that he owns it. Like we're in his way. We are here to serve him. That's, that's what he does. But he does a lot of good stuff too. If a fly comes in the house, oh, you're dead. That cat will hunt you down. He knows how to, he'll go to the, he'll jump on the windows and wait for you to go to the window. If you happen to, I don't know why flies, flies swoop down low sometimes and yeah, love this. And we're in Texas. So in Texas, every house, I don't care if you live in the richest neighborhood or the poorest neighborhood. There's going to be some sort of critters, some kind of bug, something, something that crawls, a spider would have you, that cat is Johnny on a spot. So how did he get outside? He's back outside, trying to get in. This cat is something else. Now, now the cat is getting on my nerves though. Yeah, you are my, yeah, I can't stand you. Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute. Okay, now I gotta, I gotta put you quick. You would actually be afraid to say anything negative about the KJV because it was so clearly God's word. Okay, we're gonna let you take us out of here. I want you to notice something, Jesus lover. And I love you, brother. I love you. You said, but it was so clearly God's word. So let's, and then what you did was you put up Revelation 22, 18 and 19. So let's go to Revelation or revelations. That is, I get a little, I look sideways when they get bothered when people say revelation the wrong way. The reason why is because you don't see it the right way either by the way, by the way, if it's plural revelations then it's plural revelations. Now I know the verse that the book is revelation but truth be told it's not even revelation. That's not even the name of the book. It's not even the name of the book. So stop it. We just in our English way, we say we think the book is called Revelation. Right? Like if I said turn to the book of Yaqub or the book of Jacob. Well, where is the book of Jacob? Where's the book of Yaqub? Now, layman's similar if he's still here, he'll know where the book of Yaqub is or the book of Jacob is. Does anyone else know where the book of Jacob or the book of Yaqub is? Monkey Moves does. Yeah, the book of James. But we don't call it Yaqub or Jacob. We call it James. So sometimes we get a little too, yeah, stop it. But back to your point though, Jesus Lover. Let me show you something. I testified to everyone who hears the words of this prophecy of this book. If anyone adds to them, by the way, speaking about the prophecy of the book, this book, if you add away. If anyone adds to them, God will add to him the plagues which are written in this book. If anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God will take away his part from the tree of life, from the holy city which are written in the book. Wait a second, wait a second, wait a second. Let's do something. Let's add the King James version. One, two, three, four, five. Let's get rid of the, you know, let's do this. All right, now, we've got right here, we have the, let's move these up. We've got the King James version. We've got the Greek. Problem is this. Matter of fact, let's compare these two side by side first. Let's do that first. If we compare the NASB with the King James version, we have a problem. Houston, Houston, the problem is this. If anyone shall take away the words from the book of prophecy, God will take away his part out of the, now the King James version says the book of life. But the ESV, I mean, the NASB says the tree of life. Which one is it? Now, you said, sir, since this was so clearly the word of God, problem. If this word isn't book of life, but if it is in fact tree of life, then this book did not literally come from God. Am I impugning the book? No, I am not. I've got the NA28, but I'll tell you what I will. But now, yeah, I have the NA28. The reason why I have the NA28 though, and not the text of the Receptis because the text of the Receptis in Revelation is not the best. It's not even close. The text of the Receptis as far as Revelation is concerned is nowhere near the match of the rest of the manuscripts we have on Revelation. Because guess what? He did not have, did not have the actual ending of Revelation. Had a Latin version, had the Latin version. I do, well, yeah, I have the UBS on here as well. Ah, so someone asked, will I have the UBS on here and UBS 5? Yes, I do. So what's the actual word that it should be? Well, the King James version has verse 19 incorrect. It should not be the book of life. It should be the tree of life. Okay? How do I know so? Well, the Greek tells us. The Greek tells us. Now, if we go back and we find because let's just use the same logic that if the NIV is missing some words, well then if the NIV didn't match up with the King James version and the King James version went first, came first, then what about the manuscripts that came before the text of the Receptis? What about the manuscripts that came before the manuscripts that are used for the King James? You do realize these are all late manuscripts, right? Some almost a thousand years earlier. So therefore, okay, here's what you're doing. The Bible says that many corrupt the word of God and you see that now with a thousand, okay, but why is it that so the Bible was corrupt before the King James version and then after the King James version but the King James version got it right? Do you know how silly that sounds? I don't mean to be hostile in that. But what about people that have always had a version prior to the King James version? That didn't, yeah. The Latin Volga didn't even verify what some stuff in the King James version says. So, and that was prior to the King James version. So the King James version is a very, the King James version has to do the test of time. So to have these Greek manuscripts. So should I throw what I should throw away the Greek manuscripts that were in existence thousands of years before the King James version because some English Westerners came up with a better version. Yeah, that's the arrogance of us. That is true arrogance. Yeah, Lane. So anyway, I'm not, but listen, if you love the King James version, use the King James version. Use the King James version if you want to. I love the King James version. I love the new King James. I love the NIV. I love the NASB. I love the ESV. Fine. Have at it. Have at it. All right. Well, guys, I have got to, it is, it is, Lane, and it really is, it really is. Again, we think we're so much, we think Western society just feels like it is just far superior. And there's some areas of Western culture that is far superior. There's some areas of Western culture that's not superior. Namely, life, I mean, not life, family. Western, Western society's values as it relates to family is far inferior to everyone else's culture. Everyone else values their family more so than we do here in America and in Canada and UK and just in Western civilization. So, but whether it be Western or Eastern, modern or ancient, God's word has a final say so in all of it. Amen. So guys, I thank you so. Let me answer this question. I want to answer this as we go up. So I want to, I want to fix something if I can. It says, which books in the New Testament were specifically to Israel and which are to the Gentiles of church? Well, I think all of them were specifically to, there he, he's been here all this time. This cat. Come on. You are horrible. It's what he does. It's what he does. It's what he does. Dog on cat. I can't get mad at him. I knew he was here after I thought, okay. All right. Anyway, they were all written for the benefit of all of us in the, in those that were specifically written from, for let's say from an apostle to the Jews, such as Peter, do we gain anything? Yeah, sure. When Peter says to be on alert for our adversary, was that for, for, for just the Jewish Christians? Well, no, because you also have to remember this. When Paul, that Paul, when, when, what's his name? Peter is writing to those tribes that have been scattered, move around cat that have been scattered. He's going, he likes that stepping on keyboards. But when Peter is writing, he's writing to these, these tribes that are been dispersed in these churches, but guess who else is hearing? Who has the privy of hearing these letters also? The Gentiles that are there to these Jews that are, that are dispersed, they're not by themselves. They're not, it's not like a Jewish enclave. They're also around. They're also, he just bit me. They're also around Gentiles. And so there are, there are truths for them as well, such as first Peter five, eight, when he says that the devil is walking around like a lion, our adversary seeking who he may devour, that's for all of us. Are you with me? So you want to keep the context of who's been written because there's some things that are specifically for Israel, but we can also apply them to in many of those cases. And so look at the whole as it being for you to learn from either directly or indirectly. So yeah, this can't do. He is, he is needing, now he's licking me. When he's licking me, he just wants, he wants to be baby. So anyway, go somewhere, ow, this, okay. He literally just bit me. I don't know if I got something on me. He never bites me, but he did, he did then. So anyway guys, so that you all don't see me abuse this cat and I don't get in trouble with Peter and with YouTube because I'm pretty sure, I'm pretty sure that will violate some sort of YouTube policy me punching this cat. So anyway, guys, I love you and I will see you all tomorrow. Be blessed.
