 Well, good evening. Good morning. Good afternoon. I hope you all are doing well. One day I'm going to show you guys what I'm actually doing before I actually come on. Just to say it's not good. I'm all over the place. Matter of fact, there are times where I'm sitting around just waiting for five o'clock to show up. Somebody asked why is that clock always at five o'clock because that's showtime. But I'm sitting around at five o'clock waiting and it just dawns me. Oh, you've got to go live, moron. So anyway, I hope you're all doing well. Let me go ahead and jump into it as always. As always, let me type something in. As always, I'll do my very best to get to as many of the questions as possible. I can already guarantee you I will not be able to get to them. And so if I don't get to you guys, please forgive me. Please forgive me. So let me go ahead and jump to the questions that were pre-submitted there. I try to go to the first few questions that I see. In this case, one, two, three, five questions. So five questions that were submitted earlier. I'm going to go ahead and jump in those really quickly. The first one comes from Fomillion. It's a good name. I like some of these names, by the way. Fomillion says, I believe that tongues is not required to show evidence of the Holy Spirit. But why do some people who never ever heard tongues speak with them when they get baptized or accept Jesus? Well, depending upon where you are, let's say like in my case, or someone else's case, if you, if you, your entrance or your familiarity with the church is, and I mean the building, is let's say a Pentecostal Charismatic church, where then what happens is you kind of get used to how it's supposed to be. And if you think that, let's say tongue talking and shouting and so forth is the way to go about doing it and you get excited, you don't really explore whether it's right or wrong, what have you, you get excited, well then it can happen. I've seen people who, I myself did so, you get excited, you're not sure what's happening, and you go to football game, go to basketball game, go to baseball game, you would swear that these people are speaking tongues the way that they are just going crazy. And sometimes they say some things like, what did you just say? I don't know, but it just came out. Why? Because this euphoria comes over them. It's nothing biblical about what they're doing at the game, but it's just some excitement. So that's the reason why it's just, it's like a, you are coerced to do so without actually being coerced to do so. So if that helped, spider monkey asked a question, why does Psalm 114 and Psalm 53 have repeating verses? Let's go there to Psalm 114 and to Psalm, really let's go to one of them because they do. Was it 14? Do we say 14? Let's go to 53. I remember that one. 53. Psalm 53, this is both, both by David. The fool has said in his heart, there is no God corrupt are they and have done abominable iniquity. There is none that do that do with good. Oh, I see. You know what? I left this up the last time and put it in the King James version and left in the King James version. I wonder where's this doeth or this doth come from because I left it up. So let's fix that. Not that I'm opposed to the King James version, but this reads better anyway. There is no real reason there. It's just sometimes you'll see different times where verses or statements, specifically, and this is a true statement, will be repeated. So you'll see that oftentimes throughout the script. So there's nothing, nothing really meaningful that you can get something deep, something hidden that you can gain because they repeated. There's, there's many verses that repeat other verses. In this case, it's the same person, David, who's writing it. So he's just repeating something he said in an earlier Psalm. So and I'm trying to, I'm trying to go quickly. I'm trying to go quickly to get to as many of you guys's questions as possible. By the way, my suggestion is to hold off on asking questions right now because I won't see them. I have to go back through. And anyway, LA 91 says in Colossians 212, is this faith that is this the faith that precedes regeneration or talking about something? Let's go to, let's go to Colossians 212. Let's go to Colossians 212 and okay, so Colossians 212. And let's read it. Matter of fact, before we go there, let's go to, let's go a little earlier because so we can gain some context. For in him, all the fullness of deity, or as the word is saying, phantatos, all the, all the fullness of the Godhead or all of God dwells in bodily form. Another good passage to prove the, the, the trend that Jesus is God. Anyway, and in him, you have been made complete. You have been made complete. This is in the, what is this? This is in the perfect so cool. So you've been made complete. That's by God. And he is the head over all, excuse me, rule and authority. And in him, you were all so crucible, I mean, circumcised with the circumcision made without hands. In other words, your circumcision in the flesh, but it is of the heart by the circumcision of Christ, having been buried with him in baptism, in which you were also raised up with him through faith in the working of God who raised him from the dead. Now, here's the question. Does this, does this give any sort of order? It's just telling us, it's just telling us that you have been circumcised. Didn't say the kind of the order. Well, we know the order. Matter of fact, the order was spoken of before we saw the order. The order was spoken of saying that he is going to do something to our hearts. It's going to cause us to walk in his teaching. So we're told that's going to happen before in John 3. Jesus makes a statement that and he gives a chronology that you cannot see. There's no salvation. You cannot be saved. You cannot see the kingdom of God without first being born again. The being born again part, as a matter of fact, let's go there. The being born again part is God's doing. So let's go there. That first what must happen is, let's see, 3. Jesus said, answer truly truly, I say to him that unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. How do we know that this is an act of God? This is what God is doing. Because normally what we would say or that has as many have been taught is that you must be born again as though it's something that you have to do. You make yourself be born again. We're going to answer that even more definitively in a second, but it should even be clear here in John 3 that being born again is not something that you do. This is something that God does because he goes on. He describes being born again three different ways. One, he says here, being born again, which is being Genethe Anothem. Well, Genethe Anothem, verse 3, let's go back to it, being born again. If you see on the right side this Genethe Anothem, there's two ways it can be taken to either be born a second time or born from above. Well, Nicodemus thinks it's a second time, but he's incorrect. Jesus corrects him. So if it's not being born a second time or again, the only other option is being born from above. And then Jesus describes it a second way. This being born again, he describes it as being born of water and spirit. He says, truly true, I say to you, verse 5, that unless one is born of water, born of water and spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. And this is what we refer to back to Ezekiel, as well as Jeremiah and other passages, Deuteronomy, that being born part that's God doing. So that's an act of God. Then he goes on to say in verse 6, that which is born of flesh is flesh, that which is born of the spirit of spirit. So the third way that he describes it is being born of the spirit. So you have being born again, being born of water and spirit, and then being born of the spirit. Those are the three ways. And so if you're born of the spirit, clearly that's not you. And we know this is not us doing so because if we go to 1 Peter 3, no, 1 Peter 1, I'm sorry, I think 3, 1 Peter 1 and 3, blessed to be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to his great mercy has, what does it say, cost us to be born again. And this being born again is ananna, which is from above, ananna, and then genesis, which is to be born. So being born from above. So it's the same thing. So it's God who has cost us to be born from above. And so the order of salvation, especially for us is that our hearts was changed. Then this profession of faith comes. Now, is it possible that a person can make a profession of faith before that? And maybe it's a, it's a full profession. It's possible, but it's not genuine faith. Genuine faith comes after this regeneration. Amen. All right, next question. And I am moving right along. And I see my high school buddy in the, in the crowd. I just, I just saw you somewhere leave on the guy, the guy dark circle, what is it? What is this dark circle media group, LLC? You don't have an LLC. Stop it. I'm kidding. I'm kidding. I'm kidding. I'm making it. It's my buddy, my buddy. Boy, we can listen, we can sit back and just go over some stories. Anyway, let's continue. Annette, Annette, thankful and blessed will says, please explain Ezekiel three 20. Ezekiel. Okay. Let me type it in easy. Ezekiel three 20, three 20. Oh, okay. Okay. Okay. Even on this, we've got to go a little, we got to go up a little higher to kind of get the context of what's happening here. This is God speaking to Ezekiel and he's, he's threatening Ezekiel. Let's just call it what it is. He's threatening Ezekiel. He's warning Ezekiel. Let's start in verse 16. He says, at the end of seven days, the word of the Lord came to me saying, son of man, now question is son of man, he's not calling him the son of man. Okay. So this is not to say, this is not Jesus. All right. Son of man, man, he's calling him the son of man. I have appointed you a watchman to the house of Israel. Whenever you hear my word or word from my mouth, warn them from me. He says, when I say to you, when I, when I say to the wicked, you will surely die and you do not warn him or speak out to warn the wicked from his wicked way that he may live. That wicked man shall die in his iniquity, but his blood I will require to your hands. Uh-oh. Again, if God says Ezekiel, go tell that wicked man to get straight, get yourself right, and you don't warn him. Well, then he's going to end up dying and his blood will be required at your hands. You'll be guilty of it. Verse 19, yet if I have warned the wicked and he does not turn from his wickedness or his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity, but you have delivered yourself. That is, if you go and warn him and he still doesn't change, it's not on you anymore. Again, when a righteous man turns away from his righteousness and commits iniquity, this is the verse that she brings up, when a righteous man turns away from his righteousness and commits iniquity and I place an obstacle before him, will he die since you have not warned him? He shall die in his sins and his righteous deeds, which he has done, shall not be remembered, but his blood I will require to your hands. So one, both of you are going to be in trouble. Now, does that mean that Ezekiel will die as a result? Don't know, but there will be punishment as a result of that. Just like with Cain and Abel, well, Cain was guilty of that, but did God kill him for that? So obviously, it's going to be God who determines what the punishment is going to be, but he may very well kill you for that. Remember, it's God who gives life and takes life. Your life belongs to him. Everything on this planet belongs to him. So I've got you, Neelan. I got you. So the question though is, and I can see where, and I'm not sure if this is a question that you're getting to, but in verse 20 about a righteous man who turns and commits iniquity, well, then he won't be counted as righteous after that. Why? Because remember, we are talking about this particular dispensation, this particular economy, this particular time where you can be righteous today, be in a right standing. That's what it means to be righteous. Righteous doesn't mean that you yourself are a righteous person. Everything about you is just righteous. No, righteous refers to you being in right standing. The word that we see here is Sadiq. Sadiq is just to be in right standing righteous, but we know end of yourself. You're not righteous. It's how God sees you. So he places you in right standing. So a person can be in right standing today at that time, and then afterwards, later on, not be in right standing. Well, how could that be? Well, because of his sin, his lack of faith, his lack of following God, well, then what makes a person righteous forever, eternally? Well, if it hadn't happened yet, it's going to be what Sadiq is going to explain later in chapter 11 and 36, when he's going to explain that their heart must be changed, and then they will follow him and keep his his his teachings and commands, which is the problem with this unrighteous person or the person who was once righteous and then became unrighteous. Amen. All right. Last one. This is Neland. Matter of fact, let me just put on the screen since Neland has asked this question 30 times. Where is it? Okay. When does sexual attraction become lust? That is a good question. Let's go to a New Testament. Let's see. Let's go to Matthew. All right. Verse 28, Jesus says, but I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman, and it's the same for a woman who looks at a man, that whoever looks at this woman with lust for her has already committed adultery in his heart. So the question that Neland brings up, when does maybe looking at a person, when does that become lust? When is that lust? When does sexual attraction become lust? Because you see a woman is like, wow, she's pretty. She's purty. And let's say she's built right and there's a physical attraction there. Is having this being attracted or seeing someone that's attractive physically? If you notice that this woman or this man is attractive physically or sexually, is that a bad thing? Not necessarily. Here's where it becomes a sin. Notice the word that he puts in, this word for, put it back on the screen, this word for lust. This word for lust is the Greek word for epitomas. And in this case, this is, matter of fact, let me put it on the screen. Let me see if I can show this to you guys. Let me make it, where is it? Make it bigger. I want to read this to you. Let you read it so you can see for yourself. Put this over here. One, two, three, four, five. Don't go on it. You know what? Let me, let me do this. Let me take this off of here. There's a way that I can put it over here. That way I can, okay, cool. Now when I click on it, it'll be down here. There we go. There we go, Corey. One, two, three, four, five. All right. So look at, look what it says. To have, you all can see that, to have a strong desire to do or secure, to desire, to long for. So when does that, when does that attraction become sin? Well, when your tongue is out, when your tongue is out, you're salivating and thinking, man, you're thinking thoughts and thoughts you're thinking. You don't want, you go licking your lips. You're looking around. If anyone else sees you googling or ogling. Oogling is oogling. That's when it becomes sin. You're thinking things in your mind. You're, oh man, and so yeah, that's, it's almost, hey, listen, stop, stop staring so long. You're, you're staring too long. It's, there's, there, God has made a bunch of attractive people on the planet, a bunch. And so there's not just one attractive person. It's just when you look at the person with these longing desires, then we've got a problem. Amen. So now let me go and start clicking some of these questions. Make sure that you put a big gigantic Q or question in front of it. Kofi, yes. Is it Kofi or Kofi? K-O-F-F-E-E. I don't know if it's Kofi or Kofi, but yes, I am, I am answering questions. Yes, I am. Okay, let's go back in. And now what I have to do is I have to mark questions. And by the way, the reason why I have to mark questions, I mark a few questions early on when, when, you know, when the, when the thumbnail is up and you can go in and you can go to the live stream chats and you can put questions in the beginning. The reason why I have to mark them is because once the live stream starts, a lot of those questions go away and I can't see them. So come on. What is wrong with this thing? There it is. Yes, you have it correct. What? Kofi or Kofi? K-O-F-E. We're going to go with K-O-F-E. What we'll say K-O-F-E final answer, Alex. I'm going, the reason why I'm doing today though, I'm going to try to, I got something planned for Friday. Friday evening, I'm going to try to do, do a Q and A Friday during the day, maybe not, maybe, maybe not, probably not, but if I can't get to it, then this will suffice as our Q and A. Amen. Amen. All right. So now what I'll do is I'll start picking up questions as we go. So I absolutely have to answer CG's question because, because, I mentioned my daughter's name, so let me go to CG's square. I just saw it. Is Hannah, is Hannah's praying referencing to Jesus in 1 Samuel 2-10? Quick answer, no, but maybe a broader answer possibly could be, let's go to 1 Samuel, what did you say? 1 Samuel 2-10. To those who contend with the Lord will be shattered against them. He will thunder in heaven, the Lord will judge the ends of the earth and he will give strength to his king and will exalt the horn of his anointed. So now, in a sense, no, it's not, well, Hannah doesn't know anything about Jesus. As a matter of fact, Samuel doesn't either for that, for that matter. So no, this prayer is not about Jesus, but notice what it says, we'll continue with the Lord. Here's that word again, Yahweh. Well, who do we know that is? That is Jesus. We've covered that before, so I won't spend too much time belaboring that point, unless someone puts a cue in front of an answered question. But, so it's referencing Jesus, but they don't know who Jesus is at this moment. They know who the Lord is. They don't know that the Lord is going to take on flesh and come and die for our sins. They don't know that. Let's see. Okay, Angela D. Okay, let me type your name in. I don't, Angela D. Can you all tell I was a good speller? I sound my words out. What's that? Maybe I didn't. Hold on. Okay, I think I may have it. I think I may have it. Or do I? No, I don't have it. Wait a second. What did I just? Okay, Angela, what was your question? I thought I saw your, or did I spell it right? Now, hold on. Maybe I didn't spell it right. Oh, and now that's why. Okay, that's why I can't find it. Angela. Okay, I know we may not be able to ask the question after Joshua, but I've heard this question. Who are the people Jesus is speaking to when he says, I never, oh, I never knew you. You mean in Matthew seven. So let's go to Matthew seven. Matthew seven and that's 20. Uh-oh. I typed in some of Matthew seven, 21. Not everyone who says to me, Lord, Lord will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does well of my father who's in heaven and will say that I'm actually memorizing. Many will say in that day, Lord, we have done many things in that they will Lord Lord giving that prophesy in your name and cast out many demons in your name and perform any wonders in your name. And he would declare that I never knew you depart from me, you who practice lawlessness. So who are the those that practice losses? Who is he referring to? Those that practice lawlessness, those people who are doing lawless things, who are living, who are practicing? It is. Look at the word right here. Notice the use of this word, ergo, ergo, which is the, and it is in the participle. So it's a present middle part of simple. So they're doing these things because the middle voice they're doing for their benefit of who for themselves because in the middle voice, and it's in the part of simple. So they're, so they're doing it. It's an ongoing thing. They're practicing these things. And so there are people who look like Christians who sound like Christians smell like Christian or even those who don't sound like Christian look like Christian aren't called Christians who that's their lifestyle. Now it's very important to understand what the lifestyle when we say that they're doing these things. What does that look like? We'll think we'll, we'll presume that if a person has this sin, let's just call it sin a and he or she commits sin a January the first then doesn't commit sin a I don't know until March the first every other quarter. So they, they've committed this three or four times five or six times in the year. Now you'll see there's one time. There's another time. There's another time. There's another time. There's another time. Well, we might say this person has a practice of doing so. This person is in habitual sin. Well, what is habitual sin? The problem with habitual sin is from our standpoint, we can't tell it what it looks like may not be. So habitual sin to us might be a prolonged period of living and then every now and then this particular sin might show up. But to us dog on every time I see you, you're doing sin. Hey, well, you've only seen me three times in a whole year. You just happened to catch me or you just hear about it. It's something that I'm dealing with. But it's not, it's not a habit of sin. I'm not trying to. I don't, I don't, I don't want to. It bothers me. It grieves me. I'm remorseful and repentant. I don't make any excuses about it. And so this person isn't living in habitual sin or practicing sin. But to other folks, it might look that way. Well, who cares how it looks to you? Well, we do care how it looks to you. But the point is you and God know if it's habitual, if you're living, if you're practicing, amen. And so the people that he's speaking to are people who are, they are legitimately practicing it. That's what they do. Amen. That's what I'm known by. It's who, it's who I am. Oh, animal world clips. Oh, don't even ask. Don't even ask. That thing has given us, given us so much, so much problems. I'm not going to tell you when I'm not going to say anything about it. I'll just, I'll just pop it up. What is your opinion of the West God and Hort text compared to the KJV? The reason I asked is because I noticed a major difference between the KJV and the ESV versus police help. Don't get too caught up in the different English translations. The West God and Hort, and I actually have it on here. The West, West God and Hort in a, in a 28, you've got these different groups of manuscripts. One of the best things that a person can do when they're looking at the Greek manuscript, I don't know if that's you or not, is to get something that has what's called a critical apparatus. A critical, matter of fact, let me, let me, let me go here and show you guys what a critical apparatus is right here. Click on this. Let me take this off. Critical apparatus, one, two, three, four, five, make that bigger. Now, if you notice when I see, when I put this up, if matter of fact, let's do this. Let's go to John eight, no, 753. Okay, John 753. This portion right here about the woman caught in adultery. It's not in the majority of manuscripts. It's not in the matter of fact, the likelihood is that this passage, where Jesus, think about this for a second, where Jesus bends down on the ground and writes in the ground, and we don't know what he wrote, that more than likely does not belong there in John eight. It's, it's, it's a good possibility or probability that it does belong just not in John eight. We find it, I think, two other times in other manuscripts in other books. I think one time, I think it might be even, might even be Luke. I think, I think in Luke, earlier manuscripts have it in Luke. So we think it is, although there's not a lot of writing from earlier church fathers to talk about this particular passage. So it might even be that this passage was, was added by a scribe. I think that this particular passage belongs because it is attached to in other earlier manuscripts, but just not there. Now, the reason why I bring that up is because if you look on the screen, I don't know if you guys can see these, let me make this a little bit bigger. Do y'all see this, these little things? You see this chi that I have? You see the, the, the little markings around it? Okay. You see the little magnifying glass around it? You see that? And then you see over here, you see this right here, these little, what they do is they tell us what other manuscripts of papyri might say about it. And so when I, when I highlight that, if you look at the bottom, you'll see right below my, my picture, you'll see some words down there and what that refers to are different, it might be different manuscripts, different codexes, different papyri. And so you get an understanding of what the passage may have stated. So let's say if you're trying to find a good understanding of what was trying to be conveyed, be it in the ESV, the NASB, the King James version would have you, well, a good place to find out because you want to say, well, what's the best way to say this? How should it be stated? Because the KJV, ESV, and ESB, those are, God did not give us the King James version. God did not give us the NASB. He didn't give us the ESV. He gave us his word in Hebrew, Greek, and in some parts Aramaic. Men, hopefully there were men who loved the Lord, gave us the word in our different languages, English, Spanish, French, German, Mandarin, Swahili, what have you. So the issue is, did they present the word as clear as possible? Well, language changes over time. The way we say certain things in English, if I were to tell you this word means this in English, the word that I might have used in English 150 years ago would be different than the word that I would use in English today, because that word might mean something different or conveys something different, right? Or I might not want to use a word that has different meanings like the word bank or the word fine. Nowadays, the word cool means a couple of things. Bad means a couple of things. Hot means a couple of things, right? And so that's the problem with translation sometime, trying to get the right understanding, trying to take something and make it make sense. And so there's no such thing either in Hebrew or Greek as a true word for word translation. There's no, now we have word for word translations, but truth be told, we don't have exact translations. In other words, this word in Greek means exactly this word in English. There are a few times where there is. There are a few times, but in most cases it's not. And then how do you take an idiom? An idiom are sets of words that if you translated them literally, they don't mean what they say literally, right? It's burning up outside. Well, that's an idiom. But what does that actually mean? The most famous idiom in the world. By the way, you all know what an idiom is, right? What do you all think is the most famous idiom in the Bible? I almost want to give somebody a hundred dollars. If you can tell me, by the way, I mentioned it. I mentioned it a couple of times, but the most famous idiom that's in the Bible, Michael Brown is an idiom. Let me show you an idiom. And you've said this idiom a bunch of times. You have said this idiom a bunch of times. Put on the screen. Whoever believes in him shall not perish, but have, and here's the idiom, eternal life. That's an idiom, because this literally means living our life into the ages. Well, what are the ages? Well, the ages don't necessarily always convey eternity. Or ice, or actually, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Ice, ton, Ionian is an idiom. I said that backwards. Matter of fact, let me find, wrong one, Cory, you big dummy. So let's go to John 647. Does that say it? Nope. Where is one? I'm trying to find, I'm trying to think off top of my head, where is ice, ton, Ionian at? Oh, oh, I know, I know. Duck, or you should know this by heart. John 10, 28, hut. There it is. And here it is. This word right here, ice, ton, Ionian. I give them eternal life. And so this word right here, eternal life. I'm sorry. Oh, so where is it at? I'm trying to put the English and the Greek together. I give them eternal. Let me just read in the Greek. Kaigo did a me, atos, Zoe, Ionian, which is actually kind of idiomatic. Kaume, apolontai, ice, ton, yes, here it is, into the ages or into eternity. This is literally, that's a, you know what, made a mistake, but I didn't. I pushed the button, but that must have meant the Lord, the Lord wanted me to push the button. Isn't God good? But ice, ton, Ionian is actually an idiom, into the ages. So into the ages or eternal life, it is actually an idiom. I actually thought about doing it, doing a video over there, and I probably will, but so sometimes when you, when you look at a, at a, at a translation, don't get too caught up in the translation, get caught up in the meaning. And if you, if there's any sort of debate behind the meaning, then go ahead and look at the Greek. If you don't know the Greek with it for the time being, I know Greek scholars or Greek teachers will say, don't do that, but I say do so. Go and look at a, a interlinear. And so the interlinear will say, okay, this, what this word means, what this word means, it's going to look rough, but you can kind of put it together. Oh, that's the point they're trying to get across to. What's my thoughts on young Don? Young Don is, I don't know what's, what's going on with young Don. I, I, young Don is, is, is on something. Young Don is really on something. So no, that's not a, no, no, um, that's not an idiom, a pillar of salt, because she literally did turn to a pillar of salt. Now you can, it can become an idiom, right? Like if someone says having a, like in English, we've, we've got idioms, uh, a come to Jesus moment. Well, that person didn't literally come to Jesus, right? So we've got, we've got a bunch of them. If you are a Christian actor, is it a sin to play the role of a gay person, thief or murderer? No, and that'd be a sin to do those things. Yeah, I know, you know, there's some good actors in Hollywood and, and, you know, a couple of things. One, if I were an actor, let me just go ahead and give you my demands. Yeah, I know I haven't been hired yet, but me kissing that guy, nope, taint gonna happen. Nope. Sorry. I'm not gonna do it. The, the cursing and so forth. I, I, I saw a movie. I saw a movie where they were literally trying to convey the gospel. They were doing it kind of in a rough style. They were, they were really real and raw about it. Uh, and there was cussing in the movie. There was cussing in the movie because if you're, if you're doing a show, I want to say this was, it was part of it was in prison, some gang stuff or what have you personally literally placed in your faith in Christ, just real and raw so that the folks who are actually watching it, who, who it's designed to touch actual gang bangers and folk and criminals, uh, it was hitting because they were using their kind of words. Now it wasn't super vulgar, but there was some cuss words in it. Uh, I probably, I wouldn't categorize that as sin. I would, I would not categorize that as sin because really the profanity is, is, is to be profane. And in this case, they're, they're literally trying to bring someone to Christ. So, but now if it bothers you, if it's wrong to you, then what does the Bible say? What does Paul say? Then if, if, if that's how you feel, then it is a sin to you. Amen. All right, let's go back to some of these questions. Um, well, Ty Thomas, thank you. Thank you. He says, man, I'm, I'm happy to see you, um, live today. Uh, thank you. Glad you're here. So glad you're here. How should we read proverbs? Are all those promises for us now? And glad to see you're back. Glad to see you back. Um, pumping out content. Y'all go check out my young brother. Uh, and this is, this is the name of his YouTube channel. Go check him out. Uh, let's pick a proverb. Let's go to, uh, Old Testament, let's go to proverbs. Uh, someone give me one. Proverb. Look, I'm saying someone give me one. This is how you get an old. I'm saying someone give me one and then waiting for you all to give me one. I can't hear you guys. You be, uh, let's see. He who separates himself seeks his own desire. He quarrels against all sound wisdom. Here's the question. Can you apply that to yourself? Yes, you can. So guess what? Apply to yourself. Here's what I've said before. And if, if it's true on Monday, it's true on Tuesday. Now, if it's specifically applied to someone on Monday, then that doesn't necessarily mean that it's true for you to apply it as well. Sometimes what's, what's true for you on Monday may also change for you on Tuesday. But in these, in these proverbs, more than likely, yeah, you can, they're there to be applied to you. I'm trying to think off the top of my head. Is there one that, that wouldn't apply? But I can't think off the top of my head that there might be, but like, look at, look at, this one, proverbs 18 too, a fool does not delight in understanding, but only in revealing his own mind. Well, that was good then and is good now. Hey man. So, uh-oh. Did that mean to do that? But anyway, you all check out his channel. Do unclean spirits have names? For example, lust spirits, religious spirits. Well, you can have a spirit that is, or something that is reminiscent of, that is characterized of this, right? If I say, uh, I have a, this is a house of cards and I'm describing something. I'm not saying that the house is made of cards, but it is characterized like a house of cards. In other words, that it's fragile, can fall down any moment. So let's say if I eat, as he's got this, this lust spirit or this angry spirit or this jealous spirit, this, this, this thing that's over him is identifiable or known by our characterized as lustful or vengeful or angry. Are you with me? But there's no demon walking around with a big L U S T on his shirt, um, P O R N on his shirt. You've got a hatred, you know, that, no, there's not a, there's not a demon called lust, a demon, you know, so no, um, because that same, whatever demonic force that is, that is pumping that etching can do something different. They are, they are all of the, all the angels, fallen and non-fallen are ministering spirits. And so they're trying to serve somebody, in our case, God for our, for, for his glory, for our benefit, uh, on the, in the demonic realm, Satan for his benefit for our downfall. Amen. Explain the difference between water and spirit baptism. Okay. John said that, uh, I baptize you with water, but not many days. Henceforth, there's my King James version part, Jesus or he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire. So there's a contrast. There's a difference. Baptizing you with water, that was done for them to, to kind of give evidence to the people that, hey, um, I'm turning away from my sin. We do the same thing. Although our water baptism today is not like the water baptism there. Our water baptism today is, Hey, family and friends, come look at me. I've placed my faith in Christ and I've turned. Now it should be, now they can go hand in hand, but John's baptism was as a way to say that I'm being remitted for my sin. I'm turning away from my sin, but Jesus's baptism is different. His baptism is to say that, uh, I'm now putting you down in this water. You are identified as mine by having the Holy Spirit on you. And so that's the one that saves the difference between the water baptism and spirit baptism is the water baptism. Any old body can get water baptized. And if you're saved, then amen, you're making this public declaration, but if you're not saved, then all you deal was getting wet. However, if you get spirit baptized in spirit, Jesus is the one that does so. You don't baptize yourself in the Holy Spirit. Jesus is the one to do so as an act of all, based on the profession of your faith. He does so and anyone that has been baptized in the Holy Spirit, that is the identifying, um, characteristic of a believer to have been baptized in the Holy Spirit. Ethan wants to ask a long drawn out question. So if Genesis six isn't talking about angels taking wives from men, then what is Jude six talking about? And, and Peter, uh, to four, when it's talking about angels, um, sending an evening describing that sin as being sexual. So let's go to Jude six and angels who do not keep their own domain, but abandon their proper abode. He has kept in eternal bonds under darkness for the judgment of the great day, just as inside, just as Sodom and Gomorrah and the cities around them, since they were, uh, since they in the same way as these indulged in gross immorality and went after strange flesh are exhibited as an example in undergoing the punishment of eternal life. Now, does that mean that they were that that is this saying that these angels who did not keep their proper abode that they were engaging in sex didn't say so? Now what it could also mean is that they were forcing or they were using these human beings to engage in these. So I would take it that they were using these folks. There's this heavy demonic presence that is causing them to do these, uh, simple acts that we saw in Sodom and Gomorrah. Let's go to, uh, is this 1 Peter 2 Peter 2? I think it's 1 Peter 2. Let's go. It might be, you know, it might be 2 Peter. Let's go 1 Peter 2 first. For God did not spare the angels when they sin, but cast them into hell and committed them to pits of darkness reserved for judgment and did not spare the ancient world, but preserve Noah a preacher of righteous, uh, with seven others when he brought a flood upon the world of ungodly. Now, and if you condemn the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah, the destruction by reducing them to ashes, having made them an example to those who would live in godly lives thereafter. So, uh, oh, sorry. And if he rescued lot, uh, rescued righteous lot oppressed by the central conduct of unprincipled men by, uh, for by what we saw and heard that righteous man while living among them felt his righteous soul tormented day, uh, after day by their lawless deeds. Now, if you take it to mean that this is possibly, uh, referring to a sexual sin that the angels, uh, engaged in sex, uh, then, then fine, then fine. I don't, I, you know, I'm not, I'm not going to, to, to fight anyone that that won't be a house. I'm not a house, a hill that I, that I died on. No, this is definitely, but now we've covered this and this is why I would say if, if you're especially, if you come to the Bible says on Saturdays, we cover a bunch of passages that seem to kind of go against angels having had sex or at least, or at least that the, that these, um, uh, neph, Nephilim were, uh, the sentence of men and angels or women and angels having sex. Here's the first, here's the first reason. Angels don't have the DNA to do so. Totally different creature species and so forth. They don't take, they don't, they don't take wives, but in, in, in, uh, Genesis six, these evil wicked men, I think that's what they were, uh, are taking wives, not girlfriends, not just hooking up, but taking wives. Well, so are we saying this angel, this, this demon has got a wife now, wife and kids? No. And by the way, the, the descendants, the, uh, the Anakim, they were there. These were the folks from this union, this ungodly union. Well, they step, they, these Anakims stay around. We keep seeing these. As a matter of fact, Joshua's having to deal with them. Um, Caleb's having it. Matter of fact, Caleb, his, Caleb's inheritance is their land. And we see them, we see their cousins. We see their descendants also when David fights them, these Philistines, they are, they are related to the Anakim, these, these tall giant people. So that's the reason why, but if they were, then that's fine. That's fine. I, I think, I think that these were men that were, um, oppressed and, and, and, and having to deal with demons. They were demon possessed men. That's what I think. So anyway, uh, I could be wrong. And so for that reason, I wouldn't, I wouldn't, I wouldn't fight anyone on it. I think it's okay with it. That's fine. Is the church as a whole lacking zeal? Well, let's talk about two churches. Let's talk about the church that we all see and know, um, such and such. First Baptist Church of Springdale. Uh, all the churches that as a whole, yes. Um, but, but the actual church, the word for church, the word church literally just means the gathering, the, uh, the congregation. It's made up in this, it was funny. It's made up of two words where folks say it's the called out ones, but that's not real. That's not what the word means. So actually it does not mean the called out ones. It's made up two words. It means called out, but that's not what it means. It means the gathering of the assembly. So, uh, does the assembly, those that really belong to him, his congregation, do they lack zeal? Probably so, probably, probably so. I would say so. Um, but I, but, but I still trust that the Holy Spirit is working in those that are actually, actually truly his. And so the zeal will show up. It just may not show up as often as we would like it to. But yeah, I'd probably go with that and say that, yeah, that the church as even, even the actual church, the true church is probably lacking zeal to, I would say so. Matter of fact, but truth be told, that's always been a fight, a battle amongst God's people. So even when Paul was saying that you have a zeal, what does he say, that have a, you have a zeal for the Holy Spirit speaking in 1st Corinthians 14, with a desire to have a zeal that builds up the other people. So excuse me. Dino says, uh, Abraham, who was found righteous before God because of his faith, he believed God. How were people justified and righteous before Abraham? Well, we've got a few people that were, um, named righteous before Abraham. Before Abraham live, we've got at least two people that we know of. No, no, I'll take it back. We've got a, we've got four people that I can think of that were called righteous before Abraham. Um, Abel, Job, Enoch, Noah. So before him, there were those that were also rights. They were in right standing and it was their trusting in God, believing God is always going to be believing God. If God says, if God says, take this boulder, you're barely strong to carry it, but you can carry it. Take it up this mountain and then throw it on the other side and then you shall be safe. Don't even make sense. But because you trust him, all right, amen. Because remember, during, at this time there was, I'm not saying, I'm just using a goofy example guys. Remember though, at this time we don't have, we don't even have a law. We don't even have the cross. The cross nor the law were in effect at that point in time, but there were people who were counted as righteous. Even Abraham himself, his righteousness was because he believed God. Did Abraham believe God and trust God totally? No, he did not. We've covered times where Abraham doubted, but God said, leave, get out your father's house, his land and go to this land. And then the Bible says that at a certain point he believed God. And then at that point, God counted his righteousness. He didn't believe, did Abraham truly at first, at least all the time, believed that God was going to have him to have a baby with Surah? Nope. He laughed and so did Surah laugh, which is why they had the name of their son. He laughs. So already, already, already. Thank you Douglas Bay and everyone else. Lovely for the super chat. I appreciate that. He says, would you explain Titus one, 12 and 13? So let's go to Titus. One of themselves, a prophet of their own said, Cretians are always liars, evil beasts, lazy, gluttonous. This testimony is true for this reason, reproved them severely so that they may be sound in the faith. Well, these Cretians, it was, it was a saying about certain people, right? It's like, and we do it today too. We will say that a certain group of people are a certain way. It's a stereotype about these people where it must have been somewhat true because we've got Paul saying this about these Cretians, that they are always liars. Does he mean that all they ever say are lies? No. Obviously, they can say some truth, but they're always liars, evil beasts, lazy, gluttonous. This is how they're known. This testimony is true. So here we've got Paul perpetuating a stereotype. Now, do I believe that all Cretians were? I don't know, probably not, but there's a way that I can prove that all of them were not. Maybe they all were. Maybe every single Cretian that ever lived was like this. And so this testimony is true for this reason, reproved them severely so that they may be sound in faith. Well, now, here's the problem, though. If we do so, so that they may be, that they may be found sound in faith, well, then if they do so and they end up becoming sound in faith, well, then that, then that assessment, that stereotype won't be true after that. So it can't be that they're, but that's just how they're known by. And so that's how we take it, that they have a habit, they have a history, right? These people in this part of the world, these cannibals, Mr. They have a history, I'm just, I don't know who, I don't know any cannibals personally, haven't had the pleasure of meeting cannibals. By the way, someone left a statement and said that I got out of Milwaukee just in time because of Jeffrey Dahmer. You have no idea how lucky, or how, not lucky, but how fortunate in the nick of time, I lived in the apartments that Jeffrey Dahmer was in. It was these set of apartments I lived in them and we moved away and then the following year, was it the following year or the year after that? I'm not sure if he lived there at the time that I lived there. Either a year or two, I can't remember exactly, was it, it might have been a year or two years later, is when he decides to go eat with people. But listen, let me just say this, with my prison-issued coffee cup, I wasn't a candidate. You know why I wasn't a candidate? Because I ain't gay. Would not, there's a person from Milwaukee on State Street. Yeah, you couldn't allude me into it because you, listen, I'm not your kind and you're not my kind. So we don't, yeah, would not have gotten down that way that you'd approached me and, and Berl, look at all these folks bringing up, bringing up these streets in Milwaukee, Burl Eye, Fonda Light. This is when I used to live on North, North, 20th and North, but then I moved with my aunt, Brenda. So yeah, you guys are bringing up, and what's funny is in Milwaukee, a bar is a tavern. So I remember on the block we had Tally Ho Tavern and the Triple H Tavern, all this stuff like that. But anyway, anyway, yeah, if Jeffery Diamond would have came around, we'd beat him up. We would have beat him up. Nope, sorry. Y'all can call me hateful towards a protected class of people nowadays, but nope, sorry. You wouldn't go and eat me up. You wouldn't go and find my head in your freezer. Sorry. Anyway, but I said that because if I knew some cannibals, and I said these cannibals are always eating people, well, that's what they're known for. But then a cannibal becomes saved. Well, you're not, but the rest of your folks are known by that. So that's, that's really all Paul was saying. But he's saying even, but notice what he's saying. He's even saying to listen, give the gospel to them too. Give, I don't know if he was really saved. I have no reason to believe it a doubt. What I don't do, and you'll hear more about this later, as it relates to what someone says they are, you have to do your very best to give them the benefit of doubt. And so I try not to even get into the weeds of a person, even their testimony. I don't get into the back and forth when someone says that he said, she said stuff or what have you, because there's just no way to know. There's always a different side that you may not have thought of. And so because of that, I don't know. I mean, he, he says he is, he said, or they say he was. So I don't know. I don't know. I, you know, I hope he was. I pray and hope that he did find Christ. I really, I really do. I pray that he plays his faith in Christ. You know, now he died because of that. He died because of that. And so, you know, that was his penalty. That was his punishment. Okay. If people were justified in the Old Testament, would Jesus need to come? Well, there were justified in the Old Testament. But remember what Jesus is coming for a few reasons. This is why the Saturday morning Bible study. This is the Bible study. What the reasons why there, there, there are litany of things that Jesus is coming for. Now we, well, the Jews are told, well, hey, he's coming because he's got to finish the law. He's got to put it into the law. But there's more to just doing so. The finishing or the end of the law, the fulfilling of the law means him doing what the law required. That is making this atonement for sins. Also in there, it's also fulfilling Daniel's prophecy as well as Jeremiah's. But also in that is the Davidic Covenant's prophecy being fulfilled as well. Remember, there is this, this scepter that shall not depart from Judah. Well, what's scepter? We don't have a kingdom. Well, then we do have a kingdom and God makes his promise about to David that he's going to have a descendant that shall be on the throne, his son, but then another one that will be on the throne forever. That's Jesus. And so he's going to fulfill that and he's going to have this rulership, this kingdom. He is going to govern us. Now, how so? We're not totally told. We're not told totally how that works about, but people in the old were justified. But the thing that could not happen. Remember, Jesus makes a statement to Nicodemus in John three of all places. We just covered that, but we didn't cover this part in John three. He says that no one has ascended to the Father. So one of the things he had to do was he would be the first born among many brethren, meaning that no one ascends to the Father prior to his death, their resurrection, and then ascension. So you've got these people who are these righteous people who have been justified, who are waiting for this time. Now, some folks would say that that's what Jesus was doing or talking to when he goes into the grave. He didn't go. He wasn't tormented while in the grave. No, but he was there for three days. He had not ascended to the Father at that point in time, because we know because he tells Mary, don't touch me woman, get your hands off me woman. He didn't say that way because I have not ascended to the Father. So then he ascends and then he leads this host of people up with him. They go with him. And so that's another thing that he has to do, but also he has to make a final payment. He has to make a payment that satisfies God one time forever. And then also what does he say he's going to do? He's got another flock. He's got another flock that is not like this flock, this Jewish flock to bring them in, which is also what he stated before, that he's going to take these other people who are not his people and call them to be his people. He's going to take people who are not loved and call them be loved. Why? To make these Jews jealous. But it's always been in the plan for these Gentiles to come in as well. We know that because even before there was a plan for Jews, there was a plan for both Jews and Gentiles. We see that in Genesis 3, but also spread a little bit more in Genesis 12, and in you all the nations of the world shall be blessed. And so Jesus had to come for this complete and total justification. So that's why it says in Romans 8, who can separate us. It's God who justifies. If he's justified, nothing anybody can do that can change that. Amen. Amen. Thank you, Noah. I appreciate that. When a man dies and is buried, does the spirit stay with the body or leave the body? Paul says to be apples from the body is to be present from the Lord. So, I'm present with the Lord. So if a person is in Christ, when they die, their spirit now, their soul, and by what we're going to talk about the difference between spirit and soul and so forth. But that spirit, that so it goes to be with God. It goes in heaven. Now, the dead, well, when you die, that part is separated from your body anyway, the physical part of your body. That's the cane. Okay. So that leaves the body also, whether whichever your destination is. So hope that helps. Basic says, Basic, I don't, we haven't seen much of you around these parts. I thought I saw you the other day, but anyway, there's a bunch of folks that watch and don't comment. So some people in the chat have their theology wrong. We all know that the 144,000 mentioned in the Bible are all bald. Amen. Oh, basic. Y'all see, y'all see his thumbnail? Does it? They were all bald. They were all bald. I suspect, I just suspect that when we get to heaven and we get our glorified body, male and females, I think none of us are going to have hair. That's, that's what I'm thinking. I'm thinking if they even have animals in heaven, cats and dogs, they'll be hairless cats and hairless dogs. Yep, that we don't know the Bible and tell us. So if we're going to imagine stuff, you can imagine the way you want to imagine. I'll imagine the way I want to imagine. And I'm imagining all of us not having hair. I mean, because, because guess what? Without hair, you know what you can do? You can wake up just like this. You don't, you think there's going to be shampoo in heaven? No, it will not be. You think God has hair? No, it is not. Some of you folks are hating on me right now, but it's all right, though. I rebuke you. I rebuke thee in the name of Jesus. Amen. We will not have an afro, Byron, not have an afro. Oh, what's in this cup? In this cup, Carol asked me, what's in this cup is coffee. And what's in this cup is, I think I put water in here. What I have to do, guys, is I have to take this water bottle, this body armor, it's not body armor water anymore. It is actual water from the, from the house. The reason being is I've got to make sure I'm getting my water in me. I've got to make sure I'm getting my water in me. And so that's what's in there. Matter of fact, let me drink some water. Here's a good question. Micah asked, do I believe that everyone is capable of good or evil on their own in spite of sinful nature? We are all capable of doing good, but it's not the kind of good that God calls good. It's not, we can do nice things. The Bible says there's no, there's no good. There's none good. No, no, not one. And that the works that we do, they aren't good either. But how we associate things that are good, we can do those. That's a, it's a good thing because there are times where the Bible says this is a good thing to do. To help your brother, to do this for your brother, do that and so forth, whatever. Yeah, we can do good things, but they, truth be told, they're really not good, at least not in the sense where they earn us anything. All of our good, all of our righteousness is like filthy rags. But it's possible to do good things or nice things, give somebody some money, help. Do I think that Hitler ever did anything that was good? I'm pretty sure he did. I'm pretty sure he did. He was a rotten person, but did he ever, when he was a little boy, did he ever say, say nice things or do good things for his mother? I'm pretty sure he did. Maybe he did. I don't know. Maybe he killed her. Who knows. But I would imagine that, that, that, yep. And guess what? One thing is, is sure, we all can do evil things, whether we be saved or not. We can all do some evil things because evil is just wrong, just bad, just sin. And so we all can do that. As a matter of fact, we do it. Alrighty. Alrighty. Alrighty. Let's, let's continue. Who are the true Hebrew Israelites? The true Israelites are the true Hebrews are the true Jews. The problem is, we just don't fully know. We just don't fully know, but God does. And so I wouldn't, I wouldn't focus too much on them. I do know this, whoever they are, they have a, for the most part, for the most part, they have a hardened heart. For the most part, they have a spirit of stupor over them, for the most part. So if you've got a large collection of, if you've got all of them together, then very few of them, how did he get in here? I didn't even know this cat was in here. The cat's right there. He's on the, he's on the chair. And I'm pretty sure, I'm pretty sure he's coming over. So let me move my cup out of the way because y'all won't tell me if he gets up and starts licking on my, on my cup. But the true Jews, God is going, he's, he's got a remit that he's going to elect and save some out of that nation, which will be the true Jews. But there's no way to know. There's just, there's just no way to know who they are. So, but what you want to be is the true church. That's what you want to be. You want to be the true church. Amen. This is a true statement. Is it possible to be focused on ministry and lose track of your responsibilities at home? Giving the example of Eli and his sons in the first time. Yeah, of course. Sammy was not, I mean, Eli was, Eli needed some parenting tips. He needed, he needed a fatherhood initiative for him, for himself. As a matter of fact, it happens a lot. It happens a lot to where especially men can get involved and they want to be faithful. But you got these, you got this wife and you got these kids and you got this house that God needs you to take care of and work with. As a matter of fact, if you're smart, if you're wise, and I'll be honest, at the time I wouldn't, you need to let her help you delight in the load to make it easier. If, if you're working together in concert, and I mentioned this before, you're working together in concert, the load is light. The load is light and you become more efficient and becomes easier because a man that's working hard, let's say on a job or so focused in ministry and then comes home, that's a frustrated person because there's too many things to judge when he's causing frustration himself by not allowing his wife to help him lighten the load. And so you see a lot of pastors, a lot of preachers kind of get burnt out and messed up because they're trying to do too much. You are not equipped to do it by yourself. You are not. So that becomes an issue. And so, yeah, if you spend more time there than, than, than, than home, we, Houston, we got a problem. What is my take on the Great Commission? Is that just for everyone or just for those that are called to be the pastor? Nope, that's for all of us. Our job is to, let me give you passes. Let me, how about if I give you an answer with the, with the Bible verse? How about that? Five, 17. Therefore, if anyone, that's T's, so the one that's in Christ, that would be us. He is a new creature. This has nothing to do with the Great Commission, Corey. Oh, yes, it does. Old things have passed away, behold, all things become new. Now, all these things are from God who reconciled us to himself through Christ. And then what did he do? Gave us the ministry of reconciliation. So our job is to be in this ministry of reconciliation. What it goes on to say, he says, namely that God was in Christ, reconciling the world to himself. By the way, another trinity-proven passage that God was in Christ, reconciling himself to the world, not counting their trespasses against him, and he has committed to us the word of reconciliation. So what are we supposed to be doing? That Great Commission. We're supposed to be sharing the God, now Jesus is the one that says that if you're not, if you are not, if you are the light of the world and you're not shining, you are salt of the world and you're not making folks thirsty, he says that you are good for nothing. Now does that mean that you had to go out and lead a thousand folks to Christ? No. No, no, no, no, no. But let folks know who you are, who you serve. Let the joy, let the redeemed of the Lord. How about this? How about if we just let the redeemed of the Lord say so? I'm just sitting here looking at this guy. I'm sorry. I don't trust him. So I have to look at him from time to time to make sure he's not doing stuff. And something has happened. It's like a wave of these bugs have started infiltrating the house, and this cat, he goes after him. So love the cat. Matter of fact, I have to get another one, maybe. So God bless the cat. If it's a spider, if it's an ant, if it's a fly, he goes after them. So I don't know what the deal is. What's happening? We've had a, it's not like an infestational invasion, but I've just seen two too many, three too many. I don't like bugs. I don't like bugs of any kind, of any sort. Do not like them whatsoever. Did y'all know? I don't know if y'all know this. This is off topic, but on topic. Y'all have to pray for it down here in Texas. We don't have that in Indiana. All over Texas, they got these, like the world's biggest cockroaches are in Texas. I remember when I went to Texas Tech and they got these gigantic cockroaches. And in Dallas, they got these cockroaches. Cockroaches here in Dallas, in Texas, they fly. I don't know if y'all knew that. They fly. They fly. Listen, I don't care if you're in the hood or if you're in Highland Hills or Highland Park. They're everywhere and they fly. Listen, when I first, I was going to go kill one and that bad boy took off flying. I was speaking tongues in. Yeah, yeah, yeah, Byron. They got them, they got them different. They got different bugs down here. We don't have lightning bugs down here in Texas, but in Indiana, we got them. But down here, I don't think I've seen one, but a flying one. So anyway, where will we live in heaven? Will we have a mansion? The word mansion is the word for dwelling. So it's not like we're going to be like the Fresh Prince Bella. We have our mansion here or the Beverly Hillbillies mansion. No, it's a room, a dwelling place, a place. So all of us will have a place. But guess what? If it looks like a hut in heaven, it's still awesome. I don't know how it's going to look like where it's going to be, but we will have some sort of dwelling. And he says, I'm going to prepare a place for you. And if I'm going to prepare a place for you, BJ, then guess what? I'm coming back. I would not have told you so if it weren't so. So he says, be of good cheer. Yeah, but animals in the South are different. I don't know. I had a guy who's worked for me. He was from from Zimbabwe. And I was asking questions about because, you know, I'd never been in Africa. And I was asking questions about animals in Africa. I said, are there like monkeys and lions and cheetahs and gorillas going all over the countryside? Y'all see that? He said, no, they're, I said, where are they? We see them on National Geographic. They're in preserves like, you know, nature preserves and so forth, like zoos. I said, oh, really? He said, but now I see more animals here in Texas than I've ever seen in Africa. And he grew up. I said, well, you know, you got a point. You got a point. So you got a point. We have a bunch of animals running around here. All right. Let me continue. We got a few more minutes. Cockroaches are an abomination. But what's worth a cockroach or a regular roach? Listen, give me a cockroach any day of the week over a regular roach. They don't, they listen, they don't hang in packs. If you see one roach, they got a bunch of buddies and we ain't having that. We, I will listen, I will pack up and move. So my mother would not, my mother, she hated those. Flies, can't stand flies. I'd rather be around a bunch of mosquitoes and a bunch of flies. So what is biblical deliverance? The demon slayers make it confusing. They make it confusing because they are confusing. By the way, I got, you won't believe this. I got my second copyright strike notice of a takedown from Pagani. I'll take the video down so I won't have any, I won't have any copyright strikes, but I got my second one. This guy, this guy, he's, and I guess it's what they're doing. These powerful demon casting out people don't want you to put out information about them. So I got another video coming about him, but biblical deliverance is simply who Jesus is. Jesus is the deliverer. The Greek word for deliverance is sotereion, which is where we get sotereology, salvation. If a person is saved, if a person has and saved they have the Holy Spirit, that is deliverance. And I've seen people get delivered from, you would call it the mind. All sorts of vile internal things in them. And then once they place their faith in Christ, they were delivered because notice what the Bible didn't tell us. The Bible doesn't teach us how to do deliverance, does it? The Bible, if deliverance is so important, the Bible never tells us how to do it. The Bible never says, do this, do that, but you know what the Bible does tell us how to do? How to share the gospel, to be a witness. And so in doing so, when people place their faith in Christ, we're told that they ought to do this. So there should be some synapses firing and a connection made that, oh, well, if they place their faith in Christ, I would imagine they would not have to worry about these demons in them. And that's the truth. So it's the first question I've seen about this in a while. This is, and so I'll answer this question. Are you going to address the concerns and claims Seiko made? Don't you think it's important to address it? I follow both channels and don't know who's in the right. Well, let me just say a couple of things. And I'm pretty sure this, this clip will be cut out and shown over there. Let me just say a couple of things. You want to be careful when someone else tells you about somebody else. If what you can see about me, which, by the way, we don't live together, we don't hang out together, we don't, we don't go, you and I don't go to, you know, to the movies together and church together and so forth and whatever. So there's not a whole lot that you're going to find out about me personally. But what you keep seeing though, here's what you keep seeing. And I want you to think about this. I'm going to address, I'll tell you why I'm going to address in a second, but he's not going to like it. As a matter of fact, a lot of folks that watch this channel aren't going to like it. Because let me just say this, all receipts aren't receipts. Things look a certain way until you see the other side or more of it. And so now I'm not going to get in the mud slinging and so forth. I'm not, I'm not going to do that. But there's a reason why I need to address it because my wife is bothered on certain things. And so if mama's unhappy, then I'm unhappy. But even more than that, there needs to be some sort of calling out. But in terms of, oh, what do I just do? This computer moves. So when I tell it to stay still, it just does not stay still. But what I will do, is there a need to address it? Not necessarily. Not necessarily is there always a need to address. Do y'all don't have any, let me ask you guys a question. Let me just ask you guys. So matter of fact, let's just do this for a second. Let me just ask you guys a question. You guys in the chat, do you see me addressing a lot of other videos that talk about me? Now I want you all to think about that for a second. How many videos have you seen me coming out and addressing this person said that about you? This person said that, this person said that. Just type in the name, type in smart Chris, type in Coremine, type in Coremine, expose or false nature, whatever. I'm not going back and forth with these people for what? It just, don't go on it. Let me drink some coffee for a second. We, now you got me here. Body life. Body life. Now you got me here. Body life. Body life. That's an interesting name. But I don't spend time addressing stuff. Matter of fact, Carol is in the chat, Dinah is in the chat. We were in a group text. Let me just ask these two ladies a question and put them on the spot. Y'all don't worry, Dinah and Carol, but we were in a group text together. Someone put us in there together. And there were statements made in the group text. Did you all see me even addressing things said in the group text, either negatively or positively? I don't say much. I don't say much. Now I'll let, I'll let them answer. They may say, well, no, Cory, you did. You did. You use it. Well, but I didn't. I just, thank you. Thank you. I did not. I don't, I don't, that's not part of it because I'm just, I'm just, I don't even check my text that much. I just, I just don't cover the text that much. But and so if you text me a question, if you question, if you send me a text, I'll get to eventually. If you, if you send me, if you send me an email as a little iffy, if you called me, I'll get back with y'all, either answer the phone or more in life. I won't answer when you call, but I will come back and call you. That's the best way to contact me. And so I don't do a whole lot of that, that other stuff I've got to, man, listen, can you find the old person that was, that's gone through, let's say the war or somebody from the Middle East or somebody from the former Soviet Union or someone from communist, communist country that's now here in America. They don't get bothered by a whole lot. I said that other folks get bothered by, why? Because you're bothered by that. And so I got other stuff to, I got to worry about this. My daughter got her, her passport because my baby going out of country. I'm worried more about that than anything else. My baby, who looks just like her daddy. She don't like me to say that, but I got other stuff to worry about. I got other stuff to worry about. Now, depending upon what you're talking about, if you're making personal or character assassination, it's not a big deal. You can, you can talk about it about me and guess what? I can tell you some more stuff. It's, I'm pretty bad. But you want to know a couple of things that I care about. One, the Lord hadn't left me to nor has my family. So guess what? I'm good. I'm good. And so, but now are there some things that I think need to be kind of, kind of brought up? Uh-oh. They need to be brought out. Yeah, probably so. And I will. I will. And I actually thought about doing it on Monday or Tuesday, but it's just too much to do. And so I said, well, I'll, I'll, I'll get to it when I get to it. And when I get to it, some stuff that, let me just say this and I'm going on. There were some things that were said, but two, three months ago, 30 something videos made about me, 30 something, 36 videos made about me. I'm honored. I feel honored. Not necessarily directly, but here's a video about this. Now, what about Corey? Here's a bit about this. Fine, fine, fine. And there were statements that were made. Corey, you changed about this person. You changed on that person. Corey, I never knew about this or this or that. All right, fine. Well, I'm sitting on this for three months. All right. You didn't know about it. Okay. We shall see. We shall see. So, uh-oh, will you? So anyway, that being the case, guys, you'll find out more about it on when I get to it. But I wouldn't worry. I wouldn't worry your pretty little head too much about it. I would not. It's because it's really not a big deal. That's why I told people ahead of time, because some people are like, I don't even want to deal with that. And I kind of say, because I don't even want to deal with it. So, that being the case. Because what happens when you go out and defend yourself? It looks like it's not a good feeling. So, no, I have to though. I have to. I have to, my friend. I have to. So anyway, that being the case, let's go to some more questions. We got a few more minutes. No, this matter of fact, this is a good question. This is a good question. Do you believe in, believe that formal creeds and confessions help churches in general? They seem to be elevated above, yeah, that's my point. I was, excuse me, talking to a person and I said, our biggest issue is that we rely on some of these confessions, some of these creeds, and they can be helpful. The problem is these confessions, these creeds end up being more Bible than anything else for some people. They focus too much on this confession, this creed. This book that we have, that's the most important part. That's what we have to focus more on. Now, if the confession lines up, but what if I disagree with your doctrinal statement, and then you run to your confession? Well, I don't care about your confession. I don't care about your confession. I don't care about your creed. I don't care about what, I'm not knocking these folks when I just throw some names out. I don't care what Spurgeon wrote. I don't care what R.C. Sproul said. I don't care about what A.W. Toes or Pinks. I don't care about none of those things. I don't care what Calvin said. I don't care what Luther said. I don't care what Augustings. I do not care. Can they add some benefit? Yeah, they could, but here's the benefit they can add. The benefit that they can add is what they thought at the time they were living. That's it. That's it. Because guess what we don't have? We don't have what most of the world thoughts. We don't know what most of the world, we don't even know what most of the early church thought. Yeah, we have a writing from an early church father, but an early church father was more aristocratic than he was a commoner. I want you to think about that for a second. Think of the early church fathers. They were more high end than low end. They were more high up than low up, and then low down. Low down. That didn't sound right, does it? So we don't know what the majority of the early church thought. We just have some writings from some people who had the ability to have their works or their writings preserved. That's it. And so does that mean we can glean something from it? Sure. There's benefits from that. It really is. But to the great, hey, well, you know the early church fathers didn't believe that. Well, how do you know? It's not like we got a lot of their writings. We don't have, guys, I want you to hear me out. We don't have a whole lot of early church fathers writing. What we do have is great, but there are a lot of writings that have just been lost. They just have. We've got folks, we rely on someone quoting someone else's writing or recalling someone else's writings. That didn't mean anything either. What do we do have that God made sure he preserved his work? And so yeah, okay, Calvin thought this or Luther thought that. But listen, some of the other things they thought you might want to distance yourself from. So I think we do sometimes put too much in these confessions, these creeds, and the writings of old dead men. Whether we can instead, we got some writings of a live savior of a live God. I think that I think that takes the cake more than anything else. Ohio boss is not asking a question. I just saw that name Ohio boss. I thought that's kind of cool. Some of you guys, some of you guys have some cool names really do Ohio boss. I like that. I like that. Thank you animal world clips. I appreciate that. Would I say for 21st century Paul? I want to assume your name is Paul. Paul, would I say that the elect are the sheep? Yes, without question, without question, because maybe he's talking about the sheep and we were given to him how so because we were like we were chosen. So yeah. And of course, I thought you wanted Calvinist. I'm not a Calvinist. Calvinists aren't the only ones that believe in election. Here's a good question. Why my question is from extinction 2200. Okay. Again, I like some of these names. Why do people get angry when they don't like what they're hearing from a teacher or pastor or don't agree on a theology part? And they call them a fake because we're children. Can we just let's just be on for a second. We're children. We are children with with hair. Well, you all you all are children with hair. But the rest of us are children with with wrinkles, children with with joint pain, children with arthritis. We are just we're all children. All all of us, me, including all of us. We're just children, just child, child. I'm a child with children. And we don't hear what we like. We get bothered. And we want to start a fight and call somebody names just like we did when we were two, three, four, five years old. You are a stinky head. Why? Because you didn't say that my shoes were pretty in hers. I did, BJ. No, I didn't get your email, BJ. Send it to me again. Send me your email. And I would like, sure, I'd love that. But that's just what we're children. We have a comment for everything. Our feelings get especially nowadays, you know, do you know how isolated a lot of us are? And so we become more accustomed to being by ourselves and just say whatever. Matter of fact, didn't I read a passage? I just thought about something. I didn't I didn't think about this, but I read a passage, probably 18 to a fool does not delight in understanding, which to your point, but only in revealing his own mind. We just want to tell people what we think and don't care what you think. All right. And there it is. By the way, I call my I call my grandson stinky head. Come here, stinky head. Why do we why do we call our kids giving the little goofy nickname? Come here stinky booty. We just just look goofy nickname. Like, who came and why is it in us to call our kids these little silly names? Our grandkids are looking at that name. You know, come here stinky. So I don't know. And I'm not the only one that does that. You guys do the same thing too. You guys do the same thing too. We got these little silly names. So yeah. And by the way, by the way, BJ, if you do send the email, I will actually look for it. I've got to show y'all. He's not here. I've got to get my youngest grandson on Cory. I got to get him on. I want so you guys can see him. I'm so proud of him. Why? Because this little fellow looks like me. And I'm so happy about it. The Bible says God made the earth on the first day and didn't make the sun, moon, and stars until the fourth day. What was the earth spending around for four days before the sun was made? A couple of things. One, the earth was not made on the first day. Let's go to it. Cory, what do you mean the earth was made? That's just heresy. Or as they would say in the 16 or 1700s in England, that's just poppycock. No, that's the Bible. Let's go to Genesis. Genesis and let's just start in one. In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. Now, if we state so, remember I said that in the beginning, this is not the definite. This is not the definite or the. It's in because when we look at this bath right here, it doesn't have these little lines. Let me make this a little bit bigger so you all can see this. On this better sheet, this bath right here, y'all see those little marks underneath those little two dots underneath there? Those little two dots underneath there mean something. If it was a bath sound or bath sound, it would be in the beginning, meaning that at the very beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. But it just states that in beginning or in or in a beginning at a period of time, a certain period of time that was long time ago, not like Star Wars, a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away. No, it's not that. But in the beginning, then he says the earth was formed from void. And so day one has not occurred yet. As we're looking at day one has not yet occurred. And he says the earth was formless and void. So what was formless and void? The earth and darkness was hovering over the face of the deep and the spirit of God was moving over the surface of the water. So nothing happened. Then God said, let there be light. That was day one. So the earth was there previous to when God said, let there be light on it. Now how long before, how long had the earth been there before he said, let there be light? We don't know. Have no idea. Could have been a second before that. Could have been a year. Could have been, we just don't know. However, however, there's a light source, let there be light. We know it's not the sun, as you said, the sun and the moon and so forth. They hadn't been created yet. So there's a light source. Well, I didn't tell us, but I would have to venture to say that what's there to give us the light source, because wherever this light source is, the earth is in the middle of the dark. The earth is dividing the darkness and the light. The darkness on this side, the light on that side. So the light source is giving off light. And then what has to happen? The earth starts spinning. And then what we have is day and night as it's spinning some amount of light that's on this side goes. This side is dark. The dark on this side comes this way and it's light. So on that day, the day is spinning. But now, how does he do so? Don't know. God didn't draw it out and say, guys, this is exactly how I did it. He didn't say so. So we don't know. And so we can speculate, but it should be a speculation. And so who was the light source? I have to say it would be himself, the Lord Jesus, I would say. I think he's going to give life, light to us forever, even in the in eternity past. How does it work? Couldn't say. Could not say. So on day one, this rock, this planet was already there. And then on day four, we see the sun and moon and that's going to give us light to govern the day and to govern the night. All right. So let me take one more, excuse me, one more question. Give me one more question because I must leave. Got a bunch of do. One of these days, I'm going to catch up and I've got some, I've got some folks training to help me out with some of the things that I do so I can catch up. Matter of fact, matter of fact, Friday is a big day. Friday is a big day. I've got to get some, I just saw. I've got to get some stuff done with some, some training stuff. I've got to leave the house. I've got to come back. Scooty booty. That is okay. Yeah, you can't, you can't, I don't know if it's a boy or a girl, but you cannot call, you can't call them Scooty Booty on the, it's a Bailey K. Oh, my daughter's Bailey. No, it's not, there's no mic drop coming, David. There's no mic drop coming. I just can't just force out like that. That's just, you know. Anyway, we've covered a lot today. We've covered stinky head and we've covered cockroaches that fly. We've covered Jeffrey Dahmer and we've covered the Bible. We have had a good day. I'm looking for a good question. John, the sin of death, there is, there are sins that lead to actual physical death. Now, all sins lead to, can lead to spiritual death, but they're a person can engage in a sin. So if you see a brother or sister that's committing a sin that leads to death, he says, don't pray for these people and so forth. But the sin of death is one that acts that can, let's say, Hey, you know what? I'm thinking about robbing the police station. Well, why would you rob the police station? Well, because if you want to find a good payload, a good stash of cash, your local police station has a bunch of cash. But man, they got, listen, you go to your, especially from your big city, Dallas, Houston, Austin, San Antonio, I mean, Texas cities, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Las Vegas, New York, Philadelphia, final large city, that police station, every police station, they got a bunch of cash there, a bunch of cash, but there's some folks here with a bunch of guns and you in your brilliant thinking, I'm gonna rob this place. All right. You know what that is? That is a sin that will lead to death. That is a sin that will lead to death. And so because of that, don't do that. Or you know what? I've decided I'm selling drugs or I'm using drugs. Yeah, that that. So that's what that is. Well, okay. He said, Cory in with a good question. Let me give a question. My question is, why did you go to Brian L chess from chess champ? I think we like chess champ better than Brian L chess. That's the question. You answer a question, sir. Because we matter of fact, we still call you, we still call you chess champ. We still call you chess champ. So why did you do that? You are forever chess champ. I don't care that your name is Brian. Your name is chess champ forever and forevermore. I mean, I'm not the only one who thinks that. Anyway, I'm still, there you go. Spider monk says, yes, chess champ 1000 was an OG. No, you didn't need to change. Matter of fact, I'm not going to end on a question. I'm not going to end on a question. Let me just say, because I need to go ahead and move. It is, oh, wow. I mean, I need to leave at 630 to 39. So guys, thank you so much. I've got a few more videos and a few more things. Cory can post that profit. I don't know what you mean. But we are talking about interestingly enough, we are talking about profits tomorrow. It is a beginner's guide to prophecy. You guys don't like this one. You guys are going to like this one. It is going to be very informative. We're going to talk about what a true prophet is. Would you believe that there are prophets today? Now, you know me. I want to tell you that there are prophets today. And we'll talk about them tomorrow. In the meantime, guys, be blessed and stay godly.
