 Well, good evening, good afternoon, good morning, depending on where you all are. Let's do a little bit of YouTube-isms before we get started. Could you please, could you please, first of all, make sure my mic is right, but could you please tell me where you're from? Where are you? Where are you located? What part of the globe, what part of America, but all of you aren't in America. So where are you? How many of you are in Texas? How many of you are in Florida? Who's in Indiana? Who is in Montana? So just, I'd like to know where you all are coming from, where you all are located, because it's just good to know. Me, I am in Dallas, good old fashion, well not good old fashion, good old South, although it's not quite the South anymore. The South just ain't the South anymore. So we've got people, let's go ahead and start populating it. Uh, let's see where my screen moved, I'm sorry. As I'm looking for where you all are located, I apologize. Okay, what did I do? Oh, Deacon is in Big D in Dallas. Hey, Carol is in Texas. Cherise is in McKinney, just down the street. Spider monkey is in Houston, Texas. Youngstown, Ohio. My father's buddy is from Youngstown, Ohio. By the way, Deacon Chris, you say Big D, you mean Dallas? Detroit? Denver? Dover? San Diego? We've got North Carolina. Bill, I'm going to assume that you're saying PA, Pennsylvania. Trinidad. Webster, Massachusetts. Leonzo is in North Carolina. BJ is in Georgia. Catherine is in the great country of Canada in Toronto, Illinois, or now as folks in the South say Illinois, Sweden S on it, Michigan. Lisa's in Chicago, North Carolina, Orlando. Wait a second. Is it Catford, Catford, London, UK? Amen. Columbus, but no, no go-book eyes, no. UK, New Jersey, Virginia Beach, North Carolina, Watts, California. I don't know why when I think of Watts, I think of Sanford and Son, Compton, California, Trees says the hood. Wait a second, Trees, did you say McKinney? If you're McKinney, there's no hood in McKinney. Bolingbrook, Illinois. What company is in Bolingbrook? Isn't there an insurance company in Bolingbrook? Minnesota, somebody else from England. Virginia Beach, Ashburn, Virginia. SoCal, part of SoCal, though. Atlanta, of course that makes sense, since it says Atlanta since 82. NC, London, UK. Where else? Senior Conrad wants us to desperately know that he's in New Jersey because he keeps telling us he's in New Jersey. Cat, Bahamas, hey. You know what? And I would like to go to Bahamas, I really would. Jeremiah is in the great state, the awesome state of Indiana. Somebody else from McKinney, Los Angeles, Brim, Texas, a year from Los, oh, so you're moving to Los Angeles. Why would you, wait a second, why would you leave, why on earth would you leave Texas, headed to California? Now I understand California is a beautiful place to live, but don't go on and so is Texas. Why would you leave? Why would you leave? Columbus, Ohio, East St. Louis, Missouri. Stay safe my friend. No, I'm kidding. I'm kidding. Jacksonville, Arkansas. Okay, where is Jacksonville? I have no idea. Baltimore. Jennifer is from Baltimore. Greg is from Tulsa. Breckenridge, Texas. Where is Breckenridge? Is that in the Austin area? I'm not sure. Sheila is in Atlanta. Dana is in Boston. Rosanna is in, I can't, I'm going to try to go through everybody. Tina is in Harrisburg. Rosanna is in Pennsylvania. Elle Boogie is in Toronto. Nobody named, nobody in Toronto is named Elle Boogie except you, which is cool. So you stand out. Time L's in North Carolina. Mona is in Michigan. Oseca, Oseca, Mississippi, Michael, Oseca, okay. Little Rock. Miss Camishman is in Little Rock. Rochester, New York, Bible Talk. Oh, okay, you're in, okay. No doubts in the hood. Sydney, Australia. Amen. Amen. And we say the land down under, but what do you call us? Do you all say that we're the land down under? Because that's kind of a selfish way of looking at things. We think that we're on top, and so those in Arkansas, I mean Arkansas, those in Australia, they're in the land down under. Nina, no one wants to hear about Jacksonville Jaguars, not, Jaguars, Florida, okay, okay. All right, well, let's go ahead, let me start marking some of these questions. I'm only going to take two questions that were previously submitted. So let me go ahead and jump into those immediately. Korean apologists ask, should I, oh, should I leave my apostolic church? I think you could have just left it right there, but should I leave my apostolic church? They hold to tithing, which now some of these things that we have as far as trying to decide, should I leave a church? Because there's a lot of different reasons as to why you would leave a church, a lot of reasons. It could be the personality conflicts that I'm having problems with maybe the leadership. If you're having problems with leadership, then maybe. I'm having problems with people in the church, somebody in the choir, somebody in the women's ministry, somebody in the men's ministry, somebody somewhere. Someone, our church has a daycare or childcare, and I've bumped heads with them, and so therefore it's time to leave. Those might be reasons why not to leave. I can't find a good parking spot or the parking lot could use some help. Bathrooms could be cleaner. Those could be things that maybe you could help. And so a lot of times people do leave churches for the wrong reason. Let me just say this again. Don't leave your church just for any reason. This is supposed to be your family. Just like you wouldn't necessarily leave your family for any old reason. Now granted, is a church on the same level as your actual family? No. These people have your DNA, whereas these folks may or may not be going to the same place with you in eternity. And so I get that there's a more vested interest in your own family. But don't take it lightly that you belong to a church. Don't just leave for any old thing. I don't like the Bible they use. They use the ESV. I'd much rather than use the King James Version or the NASB. Don't leave over trivial things, and even some things that aren't trivial that matter. Don't leave off of some of those things. For example, if your church ties, I think that ties is not biblical, but that would not be a deal breaker for me. You know what? I'm leaving because you guys have this wrong. There are some things that I would leave wrong. Now, Corey, what if your church is there are folks there that are engaging in tongues? Because he goes down and says, they hold to tithing, women, elders, tongues, apostles, prophets, low view of scriptures, etc. Well, everything that you just said kind of put together is a good reason why not only to leave that church, but to maybe warn against others going to that church. Because it's apostolic. That's kind of what you get. They are your garden variety. Apostolic sounds like. But other people that go to churches that may have one or two of these things. Let's say, for example, they have people that speak in tongues. If I went to a church and it's always happening every Sunday, would that cause me to leave? Not necessarily. Well, one, I'm going to stick it out and kind of fight for sound doctrine. But if you feel like your church has a low view of scriptures, then your church has a low view of God. Why? Now, I'm not saying it's true or not, but if they do. That's the point of going there, the word we gather to have fellowship and our fellowship is bound by the word. And so for the reasons that you state, I would leave. I would leave. I would leave today. I would leave today. They would get an email from me right now stating, this is why I'm leaving and hear the reasons why. And you said that you've tried sharing the truth with them and you used to be a minister. Well, then amen. I think that someone else would be lucky to have you there as a member there, go and build a strong family. Now, it's not to say that the people at that church are going to hell. No, because as I said before, there are a lot of people who I know who are charismatic, love the Lord and will be with us in heaven. And so I don't want anyone to get the impression that I am anti-charismatic Christians and so forth. But if your personality and your doctrine of views are no longer in line with the church, well, then you ought to go someplace else and strengthen the place that could use you. Amen. Spider monkey. Dog on the spider monkey. Spider monkey asked difficult questions, which is fine. Could you compare what Joe 38, did you do that the last? I think spider monkey did this the last time. Asked to compare what a passage in the Bible in the Old Testament says with what the Septuagint says. So let's go to it. All right, let's go to the screen. Let's go to, you said, Job. And what did you say? Joe, what? Hold on, I got to click on the other screen and see what you said. Joe 38, 13. Joe 38, 13. Okay. All right, so what I'm going to do is I'm going to go to the LXX, make this big enough. And I'm going to get rid of this. Okay, now, so you guys can see. And let's just go ahead and read this. Okay, let's start in the first part. Let's start in verse 12. Have you ever in your life commanded the morning and caused the dawn to know its place, that it might take hold of the ends of the earth and the wicked be shaken out of it? Verse 14, it is changed like clay under the seal and they stand forth like a garment. From the wicked, their light is withheld and the uplifted arm is broken. So let's go over in verse 13 to the Greek in the Septuagint in this verse. This first portion of verse 13 lines up pretty similar to the English. The problem that you're going to have or the issue is going to be verse 14. And the question is, which one might be is to be kind of an idiom, maybe figures of speech. Let's see, verse 14, this word is A. It's not the definite article of the but it's A. And so this can be truly, matter of fact, if you look at the bottom, you kind of go along with it. Let me make this a little bit bigger at the bottom so you guys can see this as well. So when I highlight it, you can all see it as well. So surely you can take or receive the earth or the land as mud or clay. And this word right here, aplaso right here, aplaso is you can make, you can mold, you can form zoome, which is life or a sign, but this should be life. And so, let's see. And are you able to speak to it to a point or to make upon or over or at the earth? These words in the Greek, the Septuagint, don't seem to line, matter of fact, not seem, they don't line up with the English. So surely you can take the clay and you can form life and you're able to it, speak to it and to make it to be upon the land. Okay, obviously the difference is what the Greek says versus what the English says. The Hebrew of this lines up with the English. And so what I would have to say is this is kind of an idiom because the Hebrew is gonna, this is gonna be, when you take these, when you take these particular verses, you're gonna have not the word or the meaning brought out, remember, if we're looking at the NASB, if we're looking at the ESV, if we're looking at the King James Version, the new King James Version, these are as best they can be word for word translations. And so you'll see the Hebrew words translate to the English words or the equivalent as close as possible, but when the Septuagint was, and you'll see this a lot of times with the Septuagint, when you read the Septuagint, these Hebrew scholars that speak Greek are translating it and they're doing the best they can to bring it to how to be understood. So the Septuagint is gonna have a little bit more thought than word. So you might have a little bit more thought for word or thought for thought translation. So they're gonna try to convey the thought versus the word. And so I would say, if you're having problems understanding the meaning of this, I will look at the Septuagint, meaning this so says, so surely you're able to take the land or in this case, the earth and to form or to make up from the clay life. You can make clay out of the life. Surely you can basically cause things to come to life and able to speak to it and appoint it on the earth. So that's probably what it's saying in, that's probably how we take the English. Yeah, because it's part of here and they stand forth like a garment. I think it's talking about people. So, and one of the other pastors, actually a few passages that do this, if you were to go to look at, we're not gonna do it, but if you were to go to look at Hebrews 10.5, matter of fact, let's go to Hebrews 10.5. We're not gonna do it here. Yeah, we are. Yes, we are. Yes, we are. Wouldn't do any good to say and then not do it in Hebrews 10.5. You all remember this passage. He says, sacrifice and offerings you have not desired, but a body you have prepared for meat. Now notice what it says in English, but a body you have prepared for meat. If we go to where this is found, this is found in, where's this found? Psalm 46. So let's go back over to here, Psalm 46. Psalm 40 and six. Sacrifice and meal offering you have not desired, my ears you have opened, burnt offering and sin offerings you have not required, huh? That's, let's go back to what it said in Hebrews 10.5. Sacrifice and offerings you have not desired, but a body you have prepared for meat. And then back over to the Hebrew, sacrifice and meal offerings you have not desired, my ears you have opened, burnt offering and sin offering you have not required. So here we have the Hebrew of Psalm 40 and six does not look like the Greek of, even though it's quoting Psalm 46, it's not like the Greek. The reason is that if we go over here to the Greek though, this is where we get the English understanding of our Greek Hebrew text, I mean Greek text in Hebrews because this is kind of idiomatic in Psalm 40 and six. And so the Greek Septuagint kind of helps us to kind of a little bit more understand a little bit better. And so you'll see that from time to time in the Bible. Amen? That it can be a bit difficult, kind of hard to understand sometimes, but it does that. And by the way, the reason why it does that because we speak idiomatically, metaphorically, kind of figures of speech sometimes. And sometimes when you hear us give a figure of speech, we know what it means because we're used, we speak the language. In 10 years, in 20 years, in a hundred years, somebody might not. So because of that, somebody who's gonna interpret it instead of giving the word for word translation, knowing that those are gonna hear it are gonna be lost, they'll give the thought behind it. So all right, let me start marking some of these questions, guys, I'm sorry. Remember those, I remember guys also put a cue or a question in front of it. Do Pentecostals have Kundalini? Some do not all. And even though I am critical of Pentecostal and Charismatics, first of all, I will say this, a lot of Pentecostal and Charismatics because of the nature of their beliefs, they tend to be more emotional. And so when you make an argument and statement, sometimes they really just do not. They really just do not hear, not all, but some don't hear what you're saying. They interpret what you're saying emotionally. And so for example, the video I did yesterday, a couple of folks who were Charismatic did not hear what I said. I said that the word, and I stand by this, I believe that the most unbiblical, hear the words that I'm saying, the most unbiblical Christians are Charismatics. Well, you mean, what about these progressive folks that are having drag show performances at churches? I said Christians, and that's the point. I think that Charismatics are Christians. Those people that are doing that, I don't think they are. They are not Christians. And so do they have, is their heresy worse? Sure, their heresy is worse, without question, but they're not Christians. It's almost like comparing, because to me it's offensive to compare Charismatics with those that worship Satan. And so for that reason, I don't put them in the same category. It'd be like me comparing Charismatics with people who are in San Maria. Two different things. Charismatics are our brothers and sisters. And so for that reason, that's why I said that I make that statement. And so it's not a knock against them. It's just me actually, really. Maybe it's kind of a backhanded compliment, but so anyway, but I don't want folks to think that Pentecostals, those who are Pentecostals, we should avoid them and things like that. No, I don't want you all to think that or get that impression. If not, if I've given that impression, well then I apologize. Okay, Mark's more of these questions. Okay, this is what I said for the record, I love donuts. Did people change the, did people change the ingredients for donuts? I had some donuts and ever since I've come back on the other side of the wall, donuts just taste different. I know burgers taste differently, but so do donuts. I don't know if they, everybody's just changed everything. So I don't know what got you guys talking about donuts, but anyway. All right, let me move down further and start marking some more questions and let me go ahead and jump into them. Let's see. Who are the dead in Christ? Who are the strong button? Yes, someone's gonna ask again. I am using Accordant Bible Software. What is your favorite argument for the existence of God? Well, my favorite argument for the existence of God is, I don't really have a favorite argument because it depends on who I'm speaking to. And so it's gonna vary. I try to be what the person is, but if I'm speaking to someone that is looking for a logical understanding, well then I'm gonna deal with the Bible itself. My greatest, matter of fact, in many cases it's gonna always boil down to the Bible. So my greatest argument, my favorite argument, the one that's most often used is the Bible itself. Because if we look at the Bible, that is the person, and this is the person believes that there might be a God. And if they're not quite sure, well then guess what? Because there are some of that, I'm not totally sure, maybe not. Because there's a lot of people who don't believe in, or say they don't believe in God, because believing in God is gonna wreck their life. It's gonna mess up things. God, you are a huge inconvenience to what I'm trying to do in my life. And so for that reason, you're not in my plans. We're going a different way. It's not you, it's me, right? Well, so how I prove it, or my argument, my favorite argument is the prophecies. The likelihood of the prophecies coming true is just astronomical. And I don't mean just one or two or three. All the prophecies that we've seen come true. And even if someone wants to say, well wait a second, these prophecies, these prophecies, they might be vague, well no, let's point to the fact that they're not vague. They're specific. Maybe these prophecies, somebody will say they're written after the fact, no they're not. As a matter of fact, in the Hebrew text, if you go to Daniel 4, it speaks about even not even speaking about Jesus himself, but speaking about Alexander the Great. Go and look at the prophecies of Alexander the Great and how specific, and really almost like a soap opera it is, and it comes true. So much so that skeptics try to say that it was written after the fact. Well, that part has been debunked. So that's probably my greatest argument as well. But I always ask people, if you had proof, if someone could show you definitive proof that God exists and that Jesus Christ existed and that he died for our sins, if the Bible is true, would you believe it? And in many cases, some might say yes, some might say no. Alrighty, let's go. If the rapture takes the church and the Holy Spirit also is taken away, how is it possibly to be saved? Well, when we say the Holy Spirit, now this argument is who is or the restrainer that will be taken away? Who is or what is the restrainer? I believe, well, I believe it's a church. There are those that believe it's the Holy Spirit's restraining force. The problem with that is just like you state and state quite wisely, if it's the Holy Spirit, well then how are people going to be saved after the rapture? Oh, by the way, we know that the Spirit is going to always be everywhere. Like David said, where can I go that your presence won't be? And so for that reason, and I've stated this, it didn't really matter to me in arguing this issue about the rapture and so forth. Either way works for me, whether it be the Holy Spirit or the church, because if it's the Holy Spirit, well then the church can't be here if the Holy Spirit has moved. Now, if this is restraining presence, same thing if they mean a portion of or the activity of the Holy Spirit, however folks want to argue that point, I think it's actually the Holy Spirit in the church. So not those that come to church don't have the Holy Spirit. I mean those that come to church that are part of the church that do have the Holy Spirit. That's what I think, because you make a good point. It would be difficult for it to happen. Matter of fact, it could not happen. Amen? Someone says, I'd like to have a discussion with you. You'd have to email me and then pray. Fast and pray and then speak in tongues that I would get back with you. I'm kidding, I'm kidding. Email me. I've gotten better though. I will say this, I have gotten better, which isn't saying much, but I have gotten better in responding to emails. John 1426 is an extremely abused verse. What is the correct way to interpret it and how can we be sure we're rightly dividing God's work and aren't those that 100% believe they're right but wrong? Okay, so let's go to John 1426. But the helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I said to you. One, this has been misinterpreted by a lot of different people. One has been misinterpreted by even Muslims who they want to make John 14 and 15 and 16 speaking of the Holy Spirit to speak about the Muhammad, even though this passage literally says the Holy Spirit. They, I've heard some say, well, that part has been changed or corrupted by the people of the book. Well, no, it hadn't, it hadn't. But the helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance now. The immediate context is Jesus speaking to the disciples and so is it saying that he's gonna teach us all things and bring to your remembrance all that I said to you? Is that necessarily for us? Problem with that is, has that worked? Let's just be honest. How many of you guys have actually had, every time you've needed it, had everything that you've been taught or read in the Bible brought back to your remembrance? Yeah, that hadn't happened a lot. I shouldn't have all the time. There are some times where it just doesn't work that way. And so because of that, it'd be difficult to say that that passage, because remember, when the Bible says that something will happen, then it will happen, unless we are misunderstanding the text, the context. Jesus speaking to his disciples here about what's gonna happen as he leaves. Is there something that we can glean from this? Sure. Will the Holy Spirit, well, first of all, he's been sent to us by the Father in Jesus' name. He will teach you all things. Now, can we take that to say that he'll teach us all things that what we do learn is what he will be the one responsible for teaching us? You can take it that way and bring to your remembrance all that I said to you. You can take it that way that he's gonna bring to remembrance all the, but sometimes, let's be honest, we don't have all things brought to our remembrance. And so I believe in this sense, in this case, he is speaking to the disciples. And I think that it worked out that way because remember, they had the Holy Spirit upon them in a way that we just have not seen upon the average person. And I know folks are gonna say, well, yeah, we have the same Holy Spirit, not to the same degree. How do I know? Because you've never had the ability, the authority to write scriptures. You have not been endowed by the Holy Spirit to speak on God's behalf like that. So in that case, we have to at least say, yeah, you know what? I haven't had the outpouring of the Holy Spirit in that regard. And again, the Holy Spirit was given to man to carry out God's wishes, to fulfill God's plan, not our own plan. And so how the Spirit is used in us, it varies from time and time from person to person. And sometimes in that same person, it works differently at different times. For example, Paul is healing people, but there's times where Paul is not healing. Sometimes it seems like Paul is healing on command. Sometimes Paul is saying, listen, take some alcohol for your, or take some wine for your stomach. Why don't I just heal him, Paul? So sometimes that's kind of the way it is. The Holy Spirit works according to his own pleasure, not according to yours, according to his will, as Paul says in 1 Corinthians 12. He gives you the giftings according to his will when he wants, not when you want to. So, all right, more questions. Is creation considered a sin? Should our bones remain intact? I wouldn't say that necessarily that cremation is a sin because one of the Bible didn't tell us that. The Bible didn't say so. And so there is no command what to do with the body, so to speak, at least for us. And so no, it's not a sin as a matter of fact. I do have a video on cremation. Put it in the comments. Ask that question again in the comments section and I will direct you to it, or maybe someone, one of the moderators, will give you the link to it. Chadwick asks, can you explain Luke 9.61? I sure can. Let's go to Luke 9.61. Another also said, I will follow you, Lord. But first, before I decide to follow you, let me take care of something. First, let me say goodbye to those at home. But Jesus said to him, no one after putting his hand to the plow and looking back is fit for the king of God. Now, does that mean that we should not take care of our affairs on the earth? Let's say I decide, you know what? I want to go do missions. Should I get in my house in order before I go? That's not what this is saying. Remember who's saying this? This is Jesus saying this. Jesus knows the hearts and the intentions of man, okay? We don't. And so he's making this point to this person that if your concern is for me, then fine. You want to follow after me? But if your concern is to follow after me while looking back to the world, no one having put his hand to the plow, looking back is fit for the king of God. Now, how do we take that? How can we apply that with us? If your affairs, if your concerns are for the world while at the same time for the earth, you've got one foot over here, another foot over there, we got a problem because you're gonna have dual allegiances. If you are so concerned, if your treasure is, which is where your heart will be, if your heart is focused on the world, you're gonna have some problems with trying to serve the Lord because he didn't have your heart. He didn't have your full, undivided attention or your full, undivided heart. He wants all of you. Granted, he knows that there are gonna be times where, because that doesn't mean that you don't worry about eating, feeding your kids, working and things like that. He knows you're in the world. You're just not of the world. And that's the point. You don't want to be the kind of Christian who is of the world. And this particular person seems to be someone who is of the world or one in the state of the world. Amen? Okay. What if your church is starting to put women in positions that they aren't qualified for? Well, then you can start putting yourself in position outside the church. But personally, I think that now, that is one for me that I bet, you know what? That's a bridge too far. I'm leaving. Now you talk with the church and so forth before you do so, but that's me. And I think that's the same, because again, when you start looking at, and so far I haven't found it, I haven't found one, but I'm sure there probably is one. But the point is though, the overwhelming majority of churches that I've come across that have a lot of really bad horrendous teachings have that thing also. Now I'm not saying that that's in every church that that causes it. I'm not saying that. But when you start doing that, what it means is what you've started doing is making excuses for what you disagree with in the word. And now what happens is your view of the word tends to decrease. And so that's the problem. That's a huge problem. How many Christians are going to heaven? No one knows. There's no way to know. There's no way to know what not folks and what denomination. And by the way, there are gonna be some Catholics that are gonna be there. Because there are some Catholics who aren't into Catholic doctrine. They're more Christian than Catholics. They just have to be the Catholic group. I won't call it Catholic Church. But a person can, because there's a lot of folks who became believers as a Catholic and then ended up moving away from it because the spirit in them caused them to start realizing the way to say, because some of these things are just not right. And so they leave. And again, God can, you can be saved. You can place your faith in Christ inside of a Catholic church. You can place your faith inside of a Jehovah's Witness kingdom hall. You can place your faith in Christ inside of a Mormon temple. You can place your faith inside of a mosque. You can place your faith in Christ inside of a prison. You can place your faith inside in Christ anywhere. And then the spirit is gonna cause you to start leaving away from those places because some people just don't know all of their doctrine of the place that they're at. Just like most Christians are, we tend to struggle with reading our own Bible. And so surely there are those that go to these Catholic masses or go to a Mormon temple or Jehovah's Witness kingdom hall. And they don't know what all of those people believe. But if they truly place their faith in Christ and what comes in them, the Holy Spirit, and he begins to leave them away. Amen. In your opinion, what is a biblical way to study the Bible? First of all, with a sincere heart. The first thing you do is do with a sincere heart saying, you know what, I'm looking to find something new. I'm looking to find areas that I'm wrong. Sometimes you even if you feel like you know the Bible really, really well, what you can do to make yourself look for areas where you're wrong, here's what you can do. You can pretend, act as though someone is looking to show you where you're wrong. Act as though someone, and by the way, the truth is that it's the case, someone is actually looking to show you where you're wrong. So what you can do is beat them to the past, beat them to the punch. You can say, you know what, yeah, I was wrong about this. I thought about this. I'm understanding more about this. And so, but other than that, I would say read it kind of in a chronological sense, understanding what's happening. So that way you can see why things are unfolding the way they are, why they're saying what they're saying, why they are doing what they are doing. Someone said to me, this was yesterday, I think, as a matter of fact, that the dispensational way of reading the Bible is wrong. Now I'm not saying you have to be a dispensationalist. I'm not saying, as a matter of fact, I had a discussion, an argument with a person who was trying to promote and say that you should be. I'll never say you ought to be anything, but the hermeneutic is the natural hermeneutic. And I think there's a good argument for that because we read everything that way. And so reading in a chronological order, just seeing what it says, taking what it says, and if it leads you to whatever conclusion, then fine. But there's a reason why all of these books that come before Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John are there. There's a reason why we have Genesis. There's a reason why we have Leviticus. There's a reason why we have Ezra, Nehemiah. There's a reason why we have Jeremiah. Those are leading to something else. And so we can hear and see God's promises. And oh, by the way, it causes us to trust God even more. So I would read things kind of in a chronological order and make sure that you're keeping things in context. Who's being spoken to? Look at it just like, I would read it the way that you would read other books, the way that you would look at a movie. When this character is talking to that character, though this person overheard, who's the character you're talking to? A lot of that happens in the Bible. And so it teaches you how to have a primary and a secondary application as well. So that's the way I would do it. And by the way, there's a video that I know I did called, what's that video called? How to study the Bible or Bible play for beginners, I think that's what it's called. Something like that. Type in Bible plays for beginners and it'll just give you those things. And oh, by the way, come to the Saturday morning Bible study. Luke 1.35, why is Jesus called a holy thing? Well, let's go to Luke 1.35, shall we? The angel answered and said to her, the Holy Spirit will come upon you and the power of the most high will overshadow you. And for that reason, the holy child shall be called the Son of God. Question, Michelle, which translation are you looking at? Let's see. Let's pull up another translation. Let's go to the, oh, I got all these, let's go to King James Version. One, two, three, four, five, is it that one? Let's see. Oh, I see, okay. Okay. So the question here is, let's move this. And the angel answered and said unto her, the Holy Ghost shall come upon thee and the power of the high shall overpower or shadow thee. Therefore also that holy thing which shall be born. Now the word that's used here for a thing is hagyan. And so therefore also, Todd Giganamanon, that's being born, holy. It will be called Son of God. So that's just kind of a rough, I think probably a rough and quick interpretation to call it a holy thing. I would not have called it a holy thing. It says that that which is born as holy. That's it. Because as we're reading it, remember, we're reading this thing in context. What's the context of what's being spoken up? This child that's going to be born. And so for that reason, I wouldn't, I don't know why they left it like that. I would have personally, I would have had it, this holy child, I would have had it, the matter of fact was put on here, let's put it the way the NASB has it read. The NASB has it read this way, a holy child versus a holy thing. So that's how I would have done it. But the truth be told, the child, the word child is not there either, but Giganamanon is the thing that, or what is being born? Well, the what is being born, or the thing that's being born is a person, is Jesus. So that's how I would take it. And let's move on. Put this back in the right order. There we go. Alrighty. Okay, I've already answered that question. Oh, that's not a question. Okay, somebody's making a statement. Would the son of God in the Old Testament, Melchizedek, man fighting Jacob be the father considering the son has yet, no, no. For example, who was fighting Jacob? A man. We already know that Jesus, the pre-incarnate Jesus was there in the Old Testament. With Jacob, with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, with Hagar, with Moses. So we see him with Gideon, with Joshua. We see him showing up and we see them calling him God. Who else could that be? Could it be the fullness of God? It could not be the fullness of God because they couldn't be in his full presence. Amen. Oh, okay. I'll look at that. I'll look at that, Jeff. Who are the dead in Christ that Paul said in 1st Thessalonians 416? 1st Thessalonians 416. These will be the people, I don't know, one second. Missing stuff over here. This here and delete that there. There we go. All right. So who are the dead in Christ? For the Lord himself will descend from heaven. You know what? Let's back up. Let's back up. 1st 14, for if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with him those who have fallen asleep in Jesus. So who's he bringing? Those who have fallen asleep in him. And now this is also to be taken as those who have died in Jesus. For this we say to you by the word of the Lord that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will not proceed those who have fallen asleep. For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a shout with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. So those people that are coming with him, those who we'd say have fallen asleep, those of the dead who are coming back with him, but they don't have a body. So they will be risen. Then we who are alive and remain when we caught up together with him in the clouds to meet the Lord. So, and then he says therefore comfort those or comfort one another with these words. And so I believe that the dead in Christ are those who have passed away. The dead who have died in Christ, as he said previously, who are coming back with him and are going to receive this new glorified body. Can I answer that question? I answer that question. Is there anything of substance in the Apocrypha? There are, the Apocrypha books were never intended even by the writers to be canonical. They were never intended to be authoritative in the sense of what Jeremiah was or what Exodus was or what numbers were. They were never intended to be that way. They were just intended, they were history, what they really are, history books. They are historical accounts. That's why you're gonna see some errors and things like that. As a matter of fact, in many of them, they'll tell you that God has been silent and that there has not been a prophet in the land. Why would they say that? Because they understand that it needs to have been written by or the word comes from or through a prophet. As a matter of fact, the only reason why we have in King James Verge is because Jerome put it there, but even he stated that it should not have been in there, but could you gain something valuable from it? We're sure they are, they give a historical account of what was happening then. Like we know about what was happening with in 1st and 2nd Maccabees during that time because of what was written there. So there's a historical accounting that you can get from there, but is it authoritative in the sense that the other scripts were? No, not at all. Sirius, are our vision boards biblical? Answer, no. They are not what happened there. I'm sorry, I was looking at something else too. I don't know why, I marked a bunch of these questions twice. Okay, this is a good question. Is idolizing something, for example, a TV show, does it mean giving more time to it than God? You gotta be careful what we call or what we describe as idolizing something. We, people do that a lot and people just throw that around and it's like, ugh, first of all, you're idolizing your own thoughts, if that's the case. Let's say, for example, and matter of fact, let me use a controversial point here. Let me bring up something that has been kind of controversial and I've seen people on Facebook, folks that I'm moderately okay with and some that I really do like. I've seen people because someone has said that, let's say this, I saw some shirts. The shirts said that something about John McCartney, I can't remember what it was. Life is better with John McCartney, something like that. And some folks were just upset. Some, like, you guys are idolizing John McCartney. Now, do I think the folks that were wearing that shirt, do they really believe that life is really better with John McCartney, that he is way up here? And I hope not. Now, I can't get into their heart, but I'm gonna give folks the benefit of the doubt. You know why? Because if I wear a T-shirt that says the internet was cult, am I idolizing them? Am I idolizing my favorite football team? You Dallas Cowboy fans? First of all, you Dallas Cowboy fans, you probably are guilty of idolizing, so. But everyone else, cults fans, eagles fans, chargers, raiders, buccaneers, probably not guilty, but I'm kidding. But because I have my favorite team, am I idolizing that? No, or I go to a certain church and I've got a T-shirt that has my team, I mean my church's logo. No, I'm not idolizing that. I think highly of it. Is it okay to think highly of somebody? Sure. Do I put them, and only you can know if you put that person above? Or, excuse me. Or, but you're always listening to that person. Well, don't you listen to your pastor? Now, only you know to what degree you placed that person's words above someone. Now, if that person's word is your go-to. I don't even necessarily have a problem with that as long as it's not your go-to above the spirit. Are you with me? Do I think the people that wear those shirts think that he is next to God? I hope not. I think they're just showing honor. Would I do it? No, I wouldn't do it, but at the same time, I'm not gonna attack them for it, because again, I can promise you, we can go look at some things in your life and see what you so-called idol. Because let's go and see where you spend money. Maybe your idols are quiet. Maybe your idols are invisible. We can't see your idols. And so I would be careful. I think sometimes we say everything is an idol. Anything that I spend too much time on can be an idol. No, no, no, it can be an addiction. Matter of fact, I know some people that spend too much time on something. They hate it, but they're addicted. They hate it, but they're addicted. It's a stronghold or addiction, right? And so you gotta be careful about, because we toss as Christians, because we look for the Christian way to put things down, right? You're just idolizing somebody. Now, you wanna be careful that you're not idolizing somebody. You wanna be careful that you're not, because by the way, that doesn't mean that you cannot idolize them, because you can idolize somebody. I have seen people idolize athletes and entertainers. I told you guys before that I've got some athletes in my family, and so I gotta just be around some other famous people, athletes and entertainers and so forth. Eric Dixon, Dexter Mann, are my cousins. Michael Jordan is too, although I've never met him. Some people in the family have met him, but obviously at his heyday, people idolized him. People idolized Michael Jackson. He was idolized so much so that if you were a Michael Jackson imitator and you came through the city, people started, they were following you. And they knew that you weren't Michael Jackson, but you were a Michael Jackson personator. So folks idolized Elvis. Folks idolized some of these people. They're like, oh, I wanna hear what they say. I've got a tattoo of the person. I got it. That's different. And if you go to John MacArthur or T.D. Jakes or whomever, I've got to hear what they have to say and oh, well, that's different. I don't think that's the case with those people. Maybe it is, I don't know. But you do wanna be careful about, throwing that word around. It can be, are you with me? Miss Sheila say, hee, hee, hee. Okay, more. Oh, but to your point about watching TV shows and so forth. No, no. If that's the case, then me and the Sunday ticket, although I don't watch that more than I watched or I get time to God, so. But I would say folks need to be careful. Use it appropriately. Does God, does God honor a lie? If not, why do we celebrate Christmas as if we are honoring Jesus for being born, knowing that we do not know if he was born in December? It's all a lie, isn't it? Well, if a person is dog-mannered, you know what? For a fact, for a fact, he was born on December 25th. Well then, and they're gonna fight that fight, well then they better be right. Now, here's what we do and don't know. Here's what we do know, no one's sure. Here's what we don't know. We don't know what day he was born. It's very possible, guys, let me just say this clearly. It is very possible that Jesus in his incarnate state may have been born on the 25th. It's very possible. Well, no, he was probably born, no, he was not born in the summer. How do we know? Because, well, I don't wanna make a whole argument over that, but he was born sometime close to or in the winter solstice. I won't go too far into it, but the point is we don't know. We have no, but shepherds would not be out in the fields at that time of year. Yeah, they would have. Yes, they would have, why? Because at that time, they didn't have large barns. Where'd you put your sheep at? I heard that argument, well, where would you put your sheep at then? You put them in a big barn. Well, today you would, today you would. First century Palestine, no, you would not. What first century Palestinian Jews, especially the poor one, had enough room for their sheep in the winter? So sometimes we apply our own standards today versus then, but we don't know. And so is it a lie? It's a lie if you know it's intentional. Now, if you wanna celebrate the fact that our savior was born, and that's the only reason why we'll then find out, I don't have a problem with Christmas at all. I really don't. I don't, if a person does, that person should just not celebrate it. I think as a matter of fact, to me personally, it's a good witnessing tool. We'll talk more about it. As a matter of fact, there's another holiday, or day, shouldn't call it holiday. There's another day that's getting ready to come up, and people are going to lose their mind. People are gonna lose their mind over Halloween. People are gonna talk so much about Halloween that sometimes, gotta be honest guys, this is just me. It becomes a bit annoying. It becomes a bit annoying. Am I saying, y'all, let's go out and celebrate Halloween? I'm not saying that at all. Am I saying that folks who do go out and celebrate Halloween are going to hell? I'm definitely not saying that either. If a person celebrates Halloween and, no. How many of you all celebrated Halloween? How many of you all went trick-or-treating and so forth and, still here, love the Lord? Huh, I was delivered from that. We look for everything to be demonic, but you know what's really demonic? When Christians don't do the Christian thing, which is showing love. The worst thing that can happen to us is not someone trick-or-treating, so that's not the worst thing that can happen to us. The worst thing that can happen is that the body is that we don't function as a body and we don't share the gospel and show love. That's the real demonic thing that happens. That's the real... Now, again, I'm not advocating that you go out and celebrate Halloween. I'm not cursing you if you do. I'm saying I don't think you should, but the point is if you do, okay, fine. You'll still be here. If you die and go to hell, it won't be because of Halloween, all right? If you die and go to heaven, it won't be because you did not observe Halloween. No, you place your faith in Christ, that's what gets you there. And there are gonna be 40,000 videos about Halloween. There are gonna be 40,000 videos. And I think in many cases, most of them missed the mark. I really do. I really do. JD says, please see my question. Let's go to JD. If only JD would have typed his question in. What is meant by judge in Luke 637? And IV, if right after it says, do not condemn. Okay, so let's go to... Let's go to... Let's go to the judges. Let's go to Luke. 637. And let's put it on the screen. Let's do this. Let's go find the NAV. I mean, NAV, the NIV. Where's the NIV? It's on here somewhere. I've got to move up this list to find it. I wish there, I need to check and see. Is there, there it is. No, that's not it. Well, that's actually good enough. The NIV where I just lost, I just missed it. There it is. The NIV with Greek numbers, I haven't seen that one. Okay. What I need to do is if I can actually organize this in some sort of alphabetical order. And let's put this here. Do not judge and you will not be judged. Do not condemn and you will not be condemned. Forgive and you will be forgiven. And the NASB says do not judge and you will not be judged and do not condemn and you will not be condemned. And so let's go back to your question. Your question was, I didn't put it on the screen. What is meant by judge in Luke 637? And I'll be right after I said do not condemn. So what is the word that's used here for condemn? Let's do this. Let me fix this and go back to this and put it back on the screen. Uh-oh, I'll switch those out. Okay. This word for judge is the word credo or in this, in this word, crenete. And the word for condemned is not the word. It is cada dique, which is to condemn. This word, the actual word that's used, there's two words cada according to or against or alongside. And then the word de cato or de cae or de cao or decay, which means to, this might be to be righteous. So this will seem to be to be, this person is called or considered against righteous. But then that wouldn't be the word. I mean, I'm gonna have to look at this word. But the word that's used here does mean condemn. I'm just trying to get a basis for why they have what these two words mean side by side. But the word is condemned though. So do not condemn and you will not be condemned, which is, and that's really the whole point. When you judge someone, you wanna judge rightly. But the condemning part, you might wanna stay away from the condemning part. If you condemn about something, you better be correct. Is hell eternal or temporary? Hell is eternal. We're gonna cover that this week. Today is, so what is today? Tuesday? So either Thursday or Friday, we'll deal with hell being permanent. If it's fair or not, does God send you there? But hell is eternal. Remember he says that where you're gonna go, where the worm does not die, the fire is not quenched. So it is eternal. It's for good. Could you explain Jesus' parable in Luke 12, 41 through 48? Well, I'm already in Luke. So Luke 12, 41. Okay. Peter said, Lord, are you addressing this parable to us or to everyone else as well? And the Lord said, who then is the faithful and sensible steward whom his master owed, whom his master put in charge of his servants to give them their rations at the proper time? Blessed is that slave whom his master find so doing when he comes. Truly I say to you that he will put him in charge of all possessions. But if that slave says in my heart, my master will be a long time in coming and begin to beat the slaves, both men and women, and to eat and drink and get drunk. The master of that slave will come on a day when he does not expect him and in an hour he does not know and will cut him in pieces and assign him a place with the unbelievers. And that slave, who knew his master's will, who knew his master's will and did not get ready or act in accord with his will, will receive many lashes. But the one who did not know it and committed many deeds worthy of flogging will receive but a few. For everyone who has been given much, much will be required and to whom they entrusted much of them, of him they will ask and all the more. So let's go back up a little further. The master of that slave will come on a day that he does not expect. So here's a light, we got a lazy servant, 47. And the slave who knew his master will come and did not get ready or act in accord with his will, will receive many lashes. So then we have a rebellious one. But the one who did not know, did not know it and committed deeds worthy of a flogging will receive but a few. So you don't know, here's a person who doesn't know when he's coming, you sinned. But it didn't say though, it didn't say that you were like the first two. And so that probably, gotta be honest, 48 best probably more like us, like the average one. We don't, obviously we don't know when he's coming and but we'll commit deeds worthy of a flogging. And we'll receive but a few. I think that is in that in that regard, speaking to us, the other two are not, would be the person that is not safe forever. Let's read the last part. Let's read verse, then the verse 44, everyone who has been given much, much will be required. And to whom they entrusted much of him, they will ask all the more. Matter of fact, let me read something. Let's go back up. Let's just go ahead and read the entire paragraph. Be dressed in readiness and keep your lamps lit. Be like me and who are waiting for their masters when he returns from the wedding feast. So they may immediately open the door to him when he comes and knocks, which is what we're supposed to be. Be ready. Blessed are those slaves who the master will find on alert when he comes. Truly I say to you that he will grant, he will guard himself to serve and have them recline at the table and will come up and whether he comes in the second watch or even in the third and finds them so blessed are those slaves. But be sure of this, that at the head of the house had known at what hour the thief was coming, he would not have allowed his house to be broken into. You too be ready for the son of man is coming at an hour that you'd not expect. That's us. Be ready. He's coming. He hasn't told you when. Simply be ready. And by the way, you know you're ready. It is your faith is gonna dictate how ready you are. If you have faith, then I think without question, you will be ready. Hey man, ladies and gentlemen, we have a bright new chest champ sighting. How you doing, brother? Oh, let's see. He came in in time. Someone else. I'm sorry. Oh, okay. Okay, fine. Wait a second. I answered your question. Sheila, did you have another question? Let me go ask another question. If I can. Okay. Where's your question? Where's your question? Okay, this is in response to your second. Your second one. Let me tell you the first question. How do I approach my pastor about having women in the pulpit and allowing them? Pastor, I've got a question. I got a concern. Should we be allowing them in the pulpit? I don't see that. Can you show this to me? And then make sure you have your, make sure you have your rebuttal or have your scriptures that you would look at as well. Amen. Mr. Now Faith is, I don't subscribe to five fold ministry, but if I say red, blue, and green, I mean three colors, for example, I don't understand why you pair a pastor and teacher as one word in Ephesians 4, 11. Could you elaborate please? Don't go on it. Where is it? Where is it? Okay. Let me put it on the screen. I want you to feast your eyes over yonder. Now, granted, the easy way to put it is if I look over here on this element is a little bit bigger. If I look over here, matter of fact, let me make, no, I can't do that. I have the whole thing up. All right. You're going to have to follow along with me, Mr. Now Faith is and everyone else. Chi, Altos, Edokin, Two Smain Apostles. Now notice, Two's is the definite article, The. The, he gave some, the apostles. Day or Tuesday, prophet tastes, and he gave the prophets. Okay, that's the second one. The third one. Tuesday, you are going to lead stops, which is the evangelists. And then here we have Tuesday, and here it is. Here's your answer. Tuesday, Pomenos, Chi, the Daskelos. Now, we know, wait a second. Okay. This word right here from, let me highlight this here. Two's, right here. And I'll highlight that for you. All right, now, is that, okay, that should be highlighted on your screen. Let me make this a little bit bigger. This Two's refers to the Pomenos and the Daskelos. Okay, so the The, the definite article, The, refers to the shepherd, and I'm pointing to the screen like you can see my fingers, is pointing to the shepherd and teacher. So this is how we know this is one office, they're grouped together. Amen? Does that help? I hope it does. So, and I'm not supposed to be teaching doing Greek. I'm kidding. By the way, you guys, maybe I did a good job of acting because you guys really thought that I was saying that I'm not doing Greek. I wanna keep doing Greek. I wanna keep bringing up the Greek as often as I can. Because in this case, the brother asked, how do we know? And that's how. And you would think though, you really would think, you really would think that these extra super spiritual people who are led by the spirit would get that. You would think they would get that. And the problem is, they get bothered when we go to the Greek and say, listen, this is what this is, guys. And here's a great question. How long did it take you to learn the third declensions for nouns without tools? Can I be honest, I'm gonna be honest with you. First and second declensions and so forth and third declensions. Honestly, with the going through the book, it didn't take long. But when you move away from studying Greek, the easy thing to do is to forget as you look at something, what's the first, second, and third declension? I don't even, honestly, when I look at stuff, I don't even think about it if it's the first, second, third declension. Sometimes I'll have to go back and oh, let me make sure, let me make sure, because when you have, I don't wanna get too Greeky, too technical, but some words complement or follow other words, like some words go with them in terms of number, in terms of gender, and so forth. And the clenching matters in understanding what belongs to what. And so after a while, you kind of forget about it, but you have to keep going back just to remember it because me, person, what I like to do is go back and go through the Greek book and the Hebrew book just to refresh myself. So, all righty. Gosh, do me a favor, help a brother out. Help a brother out. When y'all say go back and look at my question, put the question with it. Put the question with it, because I see your question, I mean, I see it, and then, like, when I gotta go look for it. That'll go in, oops. And I could not spell LJ. Now I can, there it is. Can you explain First Timothy, five one, is it saying that no young man can't sit outside an older man's sin? Oh, can't call out an older man's sin? Let's go to it, First Timothy. Do not, and by the way, it's not saying that, do not sharply rebuke an older man, but rather appeal to him as a father to the younger man as brothers, the older women as mothers, and to the young women as sisters in all purity. No, it's not saying that you can't call them out because if they're sinning, they're sinning, right? If the person's a heretic, well, you get a pass because I'm 30 and you're 60. That means most of us couldn't call out Benny Hinn. Most of us couldn't call out just to plan this. No, it's just how you do it. Do y'all remember back in the day when we had a respect? Do you remember those days? Who remembers the good old days when young folk respected older folks, even if you didn't like them? Even if you didn't like them, you had respect. Remember the good old days? You remember? Some of y'all don't remember the good old days. This is how you remember the good old days. If your car had two keys, then you remember the good old days. Wait a minute, Corey, how does a car have two keys? Matter of fact, cars today don't even have keys. Two keys. You had a key to open the door and you had a key to turn the car on to start the ignition. Those are good old days. That's when you had some manners and you respected your elders. Or even if you were an older person yourself, you respected your older person, at least in front of younger people. All he's saying is just make sure you don't talk harsh to the person. Now you can say, hey, I think you're wrong. Elders so-and-so, pastors so-and-so, brothers so-and-so. So that's the only point. Just make sure that you talk to the person in a respectful fashion. But the good old days, good old days, when kids didn't act like that you wouldn't do anything to them, they thought you would do something to them. Let's bring back village spanking. You remember village spanking? Village spanking is when the village would spank you. Yeah, when the steering wheel locked. The good old days, you know, when you had the wooden spoon and wooden fork on the wall, when you had ugly curtains. The good old days, when you had colors, the good old days when you didn't put stripes and plaids together, the good old days. I don't know who did that. Whoever did that, that person needs repent. How do I battle pornography addiction? The same way you would battle a cussing addiction. The same way you would battle any other addiction by not battling the addiction. You are gonna fight that addiction by not fighting that addiction. Don't fight it. You cannot, let me just, ladies and gentlemen, news flash, you can't fight sin. And it's not for you to fight sin. This is the great lesson that we learn through the Children of Israel. You can't fight it. What you do instead is you resist the devil, draw closer to God, draw to him. That's how you do it. The closer you get to him, the more proximity to him, naturally, necessarily removes you from the presence of sin. Do not try to fight sin. I'm struggling with porn. I need to get this. I need to get that. I need to do this. Now, if you wanna take some tangible steps to do so, you know, get you one of those little, I don't know if that was like a porn block or something like that on your phone. But what you do is go grow closer to him. And how do you do so by, listen, set your alarm clock to pray. I'm gonna read this. Fellowship with other Christians. That's how you do so by getting close to him. That is the surefire way to alleviate sin or the sin problem in your life. Amen. Who is my favorite golden girl? It's my favorite golden girl. Was it Betty White? No, no, no. I mean, Betty White was, she lives forever. Was it Stelgeti? Wasn't Stelgeti the youngest of them? But I think Rumaclan, can I see Rumaclan now? I don't know. I didn't have one. You know, probably Stelgeti, the mother. The mother, I think she was my favorite. I think she's my favorite. Is someone a Christian? Oh, are you asking is a carnal person a Christian? I guess it depends on what we mean by carnal. How we're determined. Let's go to 1st Corinthians 3. And I, brethren, could not speak to you as spiritual men, but as men of the flesh, as to infants, as Christ, I gave you milk to drink, not solid food. But, I mean, for you, we're not yet able to receive it. Indeed, even now, you are not yet able. For you are still fleshly or still carnal. Now, what is Paul calling them? He's still calling them brethren, but you are just weak. You are just, you're just baby-ish. You're like babes. And I have to treat you that way. I have to, even though you're a Christian, I have to treat you as though you're not really your babes. You're still getting this. So you can be a Christian and appear to be carnal. Let's make newsflags, but this is what Paul is saying. He says, I'm for you are still fleshly. Here's the word. By the way, to go back on what Pastor Trey asked, this word is a third declension word. It's a sarx, but this is where this sarcacoy. You are acting like fleshly people, like carnal folk, materially, worldly people. Can you be worldly and Christian? According to this passage, yes. That just means you are an immature Christian. You got a long way to go, but then again, a lot of us. And so he says, look what he says, for since there is jealousy and strife among you, well, that's us, isn't it? Jealousy and strife among you are you not fleshly? And are you not walking like mere men? For one says, I, uh-oh, wait a minute, dawg, gonna summarize you to mess up everything. You have literally messed up everything. Now everyone in the chat is going to be upset with you because you pointed us to the scriptures. Shame on you. Look what he says. For one says, I'm of Paul. And another, I'm of Apollos. Are you not mere men? Are you not being these fleshly carnal people? When one says, I am a card-carrying Calvinist. I am a card-carrying provisionist. I'm a card-carrying Armenian. I'm a Baptist through and through. Church of God and Christ of the day I die. Church of Christ forever. He's talking about you. That's his, you're acting like just babies, like little kids. Shame on you. You got the Bible and you think the Bible was written for your denomination, for your doctrinal beliefs. That's why I said I will never call myself this or this or this. And because guess what? There's a way to say that I hold to certain doctrinal beliefs without saying that this is who I am. Because what ends up happening is I start fighting against those who are against me. I'm always going at the Calvinist. I'm going at the Armenians. I'm going at the dispensations. I'm going at these, you're acting like little kids. Little kids, little babies or carnal people do that. And so yeah. Now guess what? All of those folks that do so, they're saved. They are saved people, but we act. And again, we see this all the time. Every, every, tell somebody what you believe and the person don't believe that they're gonna attack you. This is us. This is us as Christian. So yeah, let me mark a few more questions. Did Paul ever say that previous righteousness can be canceled? Not that I don't know of, I can't find that. Remember it is God who declares us right according to Romans 8. He declares us to be justified. And justified means to be declared right and treated as such. Who's the one that's declaring it now? You may not be right or justified in my eyes, doesn't matter, I can't see you in heaven or hell. But it's God as Paul says, it is God who justifies. And so if there is, then you got a problem. Now are there, could you be righteous in the law? Previously and then no longer righteous? Well, sure. Sure, but that's a problem, that was a big problem because you didn't have the wherewithal within yourself to stay that way. So you're in right standing today. And when we say righteous, not because of you in and of yourself, but you're in right standing. To be righteous is to be in right standing. Not that you are right, a righteous person because there are none. So please explain why I took down the video of a Spider-Man dance. Which video was that? I took down a bunch of videos, by the way. We're gonna take down a whole bunch more videos. A whole bunch more videos. A bunch of videos. I'm gonna redo some of these videos. And there's, I'll tell you why I'm doing more of these, redoing a lot of these videos. Well, I'll tell you more later, but even now so that there can be a smooth study for someone to go and let's say look up tongues, look up spiritual gifts. Now we'll have the live videos. Those will probably stay up. Probably not, I'm not sure. But some live videos will be taken down. Some edited videos will be taken down. A lot of the videos that are dealing with somebody else, this person said something and we need to call out. A lot of those videos are gonna be taken down and just moved over to the other channel. So I'm gonna say, of course, I didn't know you had a second channel. Why do you have that channel? Because that channel is gonna deal more with commentary. This is gonna deal more with doctrine of stuff, questions and so forth. Does that mean we'll never call out anything over here? Sure we will. Absolutely, that didn't, yeah. Because that would imply that to do so would be unbiblical or not right. No, you should. Teaching necessarily requires you to call out what's wrong. If anyone taking any sort of fitness classes or financial classes or anything like that, well, to know what to do, you also need to know what not to do, what to avoid in some cases, who to avoid. Amen? Good question, December, she says. So if, by the way, I have this question. The good old days, we had, what do we have? We had, okay, January, March, we had April, we have May, we have June. I think I've heard of a July. We have an August, I've never met a September. I've heard of an October. We call her Toby, October and December. Okay, so I'm just thinking of all the months that I've heard people with that name. So I think of that every time I see your name. So if we hold to scriptures, I'm sorry, that's just me. That's my ADD, I guess. So if we hold to the scriptures, why do Christians hold so tightly to all these celebration traditions that aren't in the Bible? Holding to scriptures does mean that everything that you do must be in the scripture. For example, pizza is not in the Bible. Lord knows it should be, right? There are some things that aren't in the Bible that we are allowed to do, okay? Is it okay to celebrate a person's birthday? Well, the Bible doesn't say we shouldn't, we can't, okay? And so because we do, showing honor to a person, then someone said, well, listen, if we're gonna celebrate John's birthday or Bob's birthday, is it okay to celebrate Jesus' birthday? Even though we don't know when his actual birthday was, there's no prohibition against it. And so in that regard, we actually are holding tight to scripture because we'll say what it says and we won't say what it wants to say, but we won't also negate what it does negate. Now, if there's some sort of implication that's negated, that where it is negated, now negated in the Bible, then we'll do the same thing here. For example, men marrying men, women marrying women and so forth. Well, transgenderism is not negated in the Bible. Yes it is, the word in there, but the implication is there. So some of these celebrations, they're okay to have. They're okay, as a matter of fact, there are traditions that are in, Jesus goes to the temple at a certain tradition. So you can have it, as long as what you're doing is not sinful, then fine. Now I want some pizza. I did it to myself. I'm sorry, I'm clicking the wrong button. I'm looking for something and I already know where to look for it. I'm sorry guys. I'm going to, I tell them I'm gonna cover it now, but I'm gonna talk about it later on in its own separate video. And I'm gonna put something up a little later on where you guys can actually ask for whatever a video to be done on this topic or that topic just so we can have a category of it. But can you give a summary on sanctification and justification? Is sanctification a process and is it correct that we don't play a role in our sanctification? Okay, a couple of things. Sanctification is just simply us being set apart. It's derived from the word high yields, which is to be, not sanctified, but to be holy, set apart, different. Just a rough understanding of the word is to be different. So when we think about when God wants to be holy, be different in the godly sense. I know that's not what the word literally means, but I'm saying just for our understanding for right now. Think of sanctification as us being different. Being set apart, we are different than others. Now, justification is, it can be considered to be a legal term, it's more than just a legal term, but justification is to be declared right and treated as such. Now, does that mean you'll always be justified or declared right and treated as such? Always, not always, unless dependent on who's the one that does the justification or justifying. If God justifies according to Paul and Romans 8, then who can unjustify you, so to speak? Sanctification, though, is there are three ways to look at sanctification. We had been, according to the scriptures, set apart before there was a URI, there was an ERC. We will in the end be sanctified from all those that won't be, okay? Where we ultimately realize sanctification, where we are now separated forever and ever, those who are ungodly, those who will be in hell forever. But we were actually initially set apart from the very beginning. We don't know the whole process, how it worked out and what have you and there's argument and debates going back and forth. We'll leave that for now. And then in the meantime, we are being sanctified. He is perfected forever, according to Hebrews, he has perfected forever those who are being sanctified. And you'll look in the Bible, you'll see we will be sanctified, have been sanctified, are being sanctified, and all three of those are true. And so the sanctification process in the here and now, we do participate in it because ultimately it's our obedience that also is working into it, but don't get it misunderstood as though it's just us that's doing it. The Holy Spirit is also working in us to help us to be obedient because apart from the Holy Spirit, us trying to be obedient, that doesn't look pretty. It doesn't look pretty, it's like a drunk person trying to walk one of those little lines that the police put out, it's not a good look, right? And so us trying to be obedient after the Holy Spirit, it's not a good look. Go look at Israel, go look at you before you got saved. So there is a role that we do play in sanctification, but remember the big role, the quarterback of sanctification is the Holy Spirit. The head coach of sanctification is the Holy Spirit. You're the kicker in sanctification, if that makes sense. Somebody's gonna make a video about it too, like, oh, Korak, no, Kor, you're a false teacher for that. Me and two brothers were discussing the Trinity and I believe we only see God in heaven. However, the other brother asked, how can we see, or the lamb take the scroll in him? Can I be honest? And no one can refute this point because we just don't know, no one knows exactly how we're gonna see, we just don't know. We don't know, and the Bible literally tells us that no eyes have seen, no ears have heard, so we can't tell. Remember even what John was told in Revelation, he couldn't even describe it. He's doing his very best to describe what God is telling him. He's doing his very best. Paul was taken, he says, I don't know if I went basically physically or in a vision. Does anybody know how Paul described heaven? Can anyone tell us? He didn't. Paul didn't even describe it. And so to say what we're gonna see is difficult and so I would say, let's move away from that. There's no way to know, just know it's gonna be awesome. Just, you know what it's gonna be like? Seeing what we're gonna see in heaven is like something you've never seen. Clearly, heaven will be like something you've never seen, like the Jaguars or the Browns or the Cowboys when it's over, I'm kidding, we've seen the Cowboys when it's over, I'm sorry, I shouldn't say that. In my effort and my desire to shoot at the Cowboys, I misspoke, we've seen it. We just hadn't seen it recently. So, all right, let me go to ask some more questions and I've gotta leave. Let's see. How do you preach or tell a hard and lovely follower that he is a foster child? I want to see that one. You might not be able to. You might not be able to. Because you can't make a person, you can't convince a person against their will. But now, if you want to labor with that person, I don't know, I think you should, but ask them to explain some of these things. Some of these things are just childish and silly to say that Noah was not a man. Yes, he was, Adam didn't. Just basic things that a kid Sunday school class can figure out. I would just do that, just show the apparent things first. Does love to get some things right? Sure he does, Satan does too. I'm not saying love is Satan, but he's gonna get some things right. But it's the most of the things that he gets wrong. And so, Eli, okay, okay, I'll go to Eli. But before I do that, Carol, let me deal with this guy, this heretical statement, the Jags will win before the cults. I don't know, buddy, I don't know, I don't know. All right, let me go to Eli. Oh, you know what's funny? I actually had his question already saved. So I was going there. Question, in Malachi four or five, is there a second forerunner for the coming of Christ? I was born in a nomination that believes that William Branham is the Elijah. I've covered this before. Let me say it again. Let's go to Malachi four or five, because the question is, who is this Elijah to come? Is it John? I'm typing it Elijah, Malachi. Behold, I'm going to send you Elijah, the prophet before the coming of the great and terrible day of the Lord. By the way, you know what the word Elijah means. God, El, and then who? It's like a suffix to it. It's plural, so our God, or it could be our God with us. But anyway, but he says that I am sending Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and terrible day of the Lord. Now, to some degree, John the Baptist fulfilled that. John was asked that he says he's not. Jesus says that there is an Elijah who has to come. And then almost that there's an Elijah to come. We don't know. We do not know exactly the bill is though. When he does come, we'll know. Wasn't William Branham hitting no? No. John the Baptist fulfilled some of that. In other words, coming in the spirit of Elijah as a forerunner, but there's going to be another to come and the only place it could be is in the end times. And so who is going to be? How's it going to be? I don't know. Don't know. But clearly this guy, William Branham, no. They would have to. The best thing you can do when you deal with a cult is to leave it. Sometimes you don't want to spend too much time arguing with people that for that reason I don't deal a lot with the one of those guys. Who are the people that we have a band? He really likes. What's the song? You got me going in circles? Yeah. I'll leave someone else to do it. Me? No. No. I'll give you a shot. I'll give you a shot. But after a while, I'll let someone else with better patience deal with it. I've seen this happen and I haven't been dependent on how it's done. If a pastor and his wife hold a Bible study, can the wife teach at certain points in the Bible study if men are present? Here's what I've seen. Let's say Pastor John is having a Bible study. His wife is there and they're not segregated. It's men and women there. And so folks are kind of giving their points. Men are making a statement. Well, I think this, I think that, and you're kind of going around the room and women are kind of chiming in. And the pastor's wife chimes in also as she gives her point. And let's say her point is so good. It's biblically accurate and you learn something from it. Is that a sin? No. Now, if it's her role that she is there to teach over the men, well then no. That's where it becomes unbiblical. But let's say everyone is given an opportunity to kind of chime in. And she makes some, here's a word I haven't used in a while. Some salient points and folks somebody learns from it. You know, okay, fine. Fine, fine. Nothing wrong with that. But if the Bible study is set up for that express purpose for him to teach and her to teach, that is unbiblical. Jennifer A. asks, can a believer lose their faith? We don't have one example in the Bible of anyone ever stop of anyone ever having faith and then stop having faith. There's no example. And so, and then the Bible, I think the Bible teaches against that. So now, y'all, let's see. Cameron has joined the fray. Are you with me? Corey, are cowboy fans considered false prophets? Probably so. I mean, no, but I can see what you're thinking though. Could they be considered false prophets since they're always saying that they're going to, you know what, I see your point now. I see your point. Yeah, you know what? Well, what we'll do is we won't stone them but we will treat them like Deuteronomy says, that point, and says we won't fear them. That's a wonderful question. I should make a video of that. What about women teaching other women? Well, they should teach other women. The pastries of male can teach. Elders can teach women. Women can teach other women. But to intentionally teach men, that's where it becomes a sin. Thank you for the super chat, by the way. I didn't say that. Another super chat, and on the same topic, if a woman, thank you, Derek, if a woman minister does a wedding, does God recognize that marriage? That is a good question. What God is going to recognize is the two making the vow. Even if an unsafe person, the just of the peace, for example, presides over the wedding, are they still married? Yes, they are married. Even though the ceremony was conducted over with someone who should not have done so, but because God is still recognized, the vow with the man and the woman has together. So, yeah, but. That's a good question. That is really a good question. That is really a good question. Can a glorified body take a nap? I don't think we ever will. I don't think we ever will. Because our bodies are just gonna be just different. Our bodies are just gonna be different. And so we just get tired. Because someone asked a question, I have no answer to it. The Bible didn't say, did Adam and Eve take a nap? I mean, he put him to sleep for the express purpose of when he created Eve, but we don't see it anywhere else. I don't think so, I don't know. I don't know. Jennifer didn't see it. Okay. Your question was, I'm sorry, I don't think I put it on the screen. Can a person ever lose faith? The Bible does not teach Jennifer that anywhere in the Bible where a person had faith and stopped having a law or lost faith. At least with the Holy Spirit. If the Holy Spirit is in you, you will not lose faith. We don't have any New Testament believer that stopped being a believer. So, whoa, okay, wait a second. Okay, hold on. Hold on, Melvilleus, Biblically sound how? Give us what if his most, see, when Geno says that, first of all, when he says that I've done more works than the Son of God. But when Geno says that you gotta be baptized, physically watered, baptized, and you got to have a person who does it, say in Jesus' name, otherwise as he says, you just got wet. Well, that's bad teaching. As a matter of fact, that's heretical teaching, meaning that the person, your salvation is required upon someone, baptizing you in water, and that they have to say the right word, formula over you. Otherwise, your faith matters not. That's heretical. That's not sound. His understanding of, is Jesus who he is. It's flawed, very flawed. I see how he's trying to put it together, but it's flawed, very flawed. All the apostles did it in the name of Jesus. What does it mean to do it in the name of Jesus? What does that mean? When someone comes in the name of Jesus? What does that mean? When someone does anything in the name of Jesus, what does that mean? The problem is, people who say that don't understand what that means. Also, do we ever have a time in the Bible when someone was ever baptized in the name of the Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit? Because that's the way that Jesus said to do it. He doesn't mean to verbally say it. The problem with us in English is, we take it that it must mean that you have to verbally state something in that regard, in that way. If he means for you to say it verbally, well then you better say it in the language that Jesus said it in, which by the way, you can't speak that way. Can you speak Greek? Do you say it that way? No. So he didn't mean that. He did, do you have to say it in the name of Jesus or Yeshua or Yeshua? However you say it. Because if he didn't say Jesus, it becomes more, like you said, a more workspace. And by the way, did everybody in the New Testament that we see get baptized, water baptized? No, we did not see that. So again, you're creating something that's just not there. Gino is horrible at going through the scriptures. It's like, well, Corey, you need to debate him. You need to, well, he reached out. They won't respond back. And that's fine. All right, let me take one more question because I've got some things to do. So then why would Jesus allow John to baptize him? Here's how you can figure out how Jesus or why Jesus allowed John to baptize him. As a matter of fact, why, why, why did John, since John the Baptist himself baptized Jesus, would it be helpful if John himself told us why he baptized? I think that would be helpful. So let's go and see why John says so. Let's go to John one. I think it's 20, is it 24? John 1, 24. Now they had been sent from the Pharisees. They asked him and said to him, why then are you baptizing if you're not the Christ nor Elijah nor the prophets? John answered and said to them, I baptize in water, but among you stands one that's Jesus whom you do not know. It is he who comes after me who I am not worthy to reluze the thongs of the sand. Now notice what he says, let's drop down. Jesus, John sees Jesus. Behold the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world. See this is what I was talking about guys, 31. Look what he says. I did not recognize him, but so that he might be manifested to Israel I came baptizing in water. This is the reason why I baptize him. John testifies and I see the spirit descending as a dove out of heaven and remain upon him. I did not recognize him, but he who sent me to baptize in water said to me, he upon whom you see the spirit descending and remaining upon him, this is the one who baptized in the Holy Spirit. I myself have seen and have testified that this is the Son of God. So why did John say so that he would be revealed to all Israel? I didn't know that he knew. I wanted to need to be made sure because the one that sent me told me, you'll know for sure because the spirit will descend upon him. And what happened when he baptized Jesus, the spirit descended upon him. And so now John after that says, look everyone, the Lamb of God who takes away the sins. So now John says, finally, who follows him after that? He's got some disciples, Peter, James, John, Andrew, they begin following after him because of John's testimony. So that's the reason why, according to the Bible, according to John's own testimony, why he baptized Jesus. We're not baptizing that regard. Now, someone made a statement. Emory Thorpe says, brother, please stop. His brother, please stop. You go to the Greek mythology when you should be coming from the Hebrew teachings. Why don't you write Gino, okay, you mean write W.R. And as for a debate as Crock's move the bump, you know, you mean Crock's move the bump. What is Crock's, how did he bump me? Clearly, clearly you are a follower of Gino and you were a follower of Crock's move. That's fine. I can't listen. I can't make you think right. But let me just help you out. This is how, this is your, this is, I'm just gonna be clear with you. This is your flawed thinking. This is your flawed thinking. Going to the Greek does not mean Greek mythology. Anyone that says so doesn't understand words at all. Doesn't even understand what they're actually saying. Usur are grossly incorrect. Greek, the language has nothing to do with Greek mythology. Can I give you an example? Is there anyone in the chat? Anyone that speaks Spanish? Is there anyone that speaks Spanish? If you speak Spanish, you're speaking Spanish. Does that make you Spanish? Spider monkey says me, spider monkey, are you Spanish? Anyone that speaks Spanish, are you Spanish? Now, a person might be Mexican, a person might be Guatemalan, a person might be El Salvadoran. Am I, did I say that right? Salvadoran. No. Spanish, you would have to be from all of us Emory, Thorpe. You have an English name. You have an English name. Are you English? You speak English, but are you, oh Salvadoran, okay? But are you English? I speak English, but I'm not English. So my culture, are you with me? To speak Greek does not mean that you are one Greek or you're dealing with Greek culture or mythology. Greek mythology, all Greeks didn't even observe Greek mythology. I don't know if you knew that or not. I don't know if you knew that or not, sir. We're talking about a language. The language is different than what you're speaking of. And the reason why this needs to be brought out is because this is without question, sir. With all due respect, complete and utter foolishness. It's nonsense what you just said. I should be coming from, as you said, the Hebrew teachings. Can I ask you a question, Mr. Emory? Which Hebrew text should I read the Gospel out of? Which Hebrew text tells me that Jesus Christ died on the cross? Is there a Hebrew text that tells me that Jesus Christ died on the cross? Since the New Testament is not written in Hebrew. Since the New Testament is not written in Hebrew, what is it written in? It's written in Greek. Ceroxmuth is, how do I say this without being rude? Ceroxmuth is ignorant when it comes to the New Testament. That is what it is. When he makes a statement that says that we shouldn't go to the Greek. Emory, sir, you read your Bible in English. How did you get it? Cause someone went to the Greek and gave it to you, my friend. And I'm only saying this, I'm only saying this because I don't want you to be ignorant. Now you can stay that way if you want to. But I'm telling you, when you say, when you make this statement that you just said, brother, please stop. You go to the Greek. First of all, I've literally been speaking and reading most of what I've been saying. 99% of what I say to today has been in English. Some have asked me to go to the Greek. So I do. No, he's not Hebrew-Israelite. I don't think he's Hebrew-Israelite. I don't know, maybe he is. Emory, are you a Hebrew-Israelite? So we go to the Greek to find out. By the way, by the way, by the way, has Gino ever gone to look up a word in Greek? I've seen him literally go and look up what a word says in Greek. I've literally seen him do that. But if I read, if I gave it to you in Hebrew, would that do anything for you as well? So come with scriptures. And I did not say it was not written in any form. You say it. I'm gonna read what you're saying, sir. Because I think this is important. And I'm addressing because others have said the same thing. So I just finally take the option because you were the one. So we'll put a face to this statement. Stop, please. So don't read. So is it your testimony? Is your statement that we should not read the Greek? Is it your testimony? Is it your statement to say that if you read the Greek, you are relying on Greek mythology? First of all, the name calling is as of ignorance. First of all, I just say it was ignorant. I'm not calling him a name, but you said C-Rox Moog. Go look at it every time C-Rox Moog does a video on me. He literally calls me all sorts of names, which is fine. I don't have no problem with that. I'm saying what you're saying is foolish. What he says is foolish. What you're saying is foolish is ignorant. Not that you're an ignorant person. Not that you're a foolish person. But what you're saying is completely ignorant. You do not know what it is you're talking about as regards to the Greek. That's all. By the way, anyone that doesn't wanna hear someone speak about the Greek or use the Greek, don't come to this channel because I'm gonna bring up the Greek when I need to. I'm gonna bring up the Hebrew when I need to. And I do so. Let me put it on the screen for you, brother. When I go to this passage, the brother asked me earlier. The brother asked, let's go to it. The brother asked me earlier. Let me ask you this question, Emery. Ephesians. You can do it if you want to. You tell me. He asked a question, Emery, about Ephesians 4-11. How do we know that the grouping of pastor teachers is one grouping? It's not pastor as one group as an office and then teacher as another office. How do we know so? Well, I literally, Emery, had to go to the Greek. Could you tell me how you can tell if Ephesians 4-11 is speaking of five offices or four? You'll probably say five offices. But if you look at the Greek, which is how it was given to us, it wasn't written in English. Jesus, news flash, Jesus, Jesus did not speak English. I think, and this is my last time addressing you because I think you are, it's one thing to be ignorant, honestly ignorant. It's another thing to be intentionally ignorant. So when you make this statement, you came from a book and not scripture. I was covering a rule when talking to this brother, this man, I was citing a rule, giving him the book of someone who knows Greek, who teaches Greek. He's one of the better Greek grammarians on the planet, not the only to say that you can go and look up for yourself. What did he do? He started saying hurling white man this, the white man that, and this and that or whatever. Okay. Because he's racist and ignorant. And that's a fact. That's why I point to that book. I don't have to point to that book to go to what I'm talking about. But can you explain Ephesians 4-11? Why we have four offices versus five? No, you can't. You have to have the Greek. So that's the only point that I'm saying, sir. And so I'll be, you're free to think what you want to think, but that's fine. All right, ladies and gentlemen, we are leaving on a high note. Yeah, that's the funny thing. Dang, I'm literally speaking English. I'm speaking English and giving an explanation by, I'll go to the Greek, but tell me if I'm wrong. And then here come, look, look. So it's five, not four. I'll tell you what I'll do, Melvus. I'll tell you what I do, Melvus. Tell you what I'll do. Place your cash app in the chats and then prove to us that it's five, not four, and I'll send you $100. Not that I have $100 to send you, but I'll send you $100. If you can prove what I just, disprove what I just said, let's put it on the screen for Melvus, because Melvus gives a lot of negative comments, which is fine. I don't have a problem with that. Again, Chaiotus Edokin, Tuss main apostles, so each one of these offices, Melvus, has the definite article, the. Tuss is a definite article, the. Tuss main apostles, so the apostles. Tuss day prophetas, which is the prophets. Then we have Tuss day yungalistas, which is the evangelists. Then Melvus, we have, pay attention, Melvus, pay attention. I know you only wanna focus on the English. Then we have Tuss day pomenas Chaiododoscopus. We have one the, you can follow this, one the. Just one. All the other offices have their own definite article. This is how we know he's speaking of one office he's just using pastor, teacher, or in this case, shepherd teacher. So, because of that, that's how we know he's speaking of four, not five. Now, if you can disagree, it's fine. Melvus, you are free to disagree. You're just not free to make up your own rationale. So, if you can prove to us why it's five, not four, if you can refute what I just said, and that's not very difficult, by the way. It's not a deep Greek lesson I just gave right here, at all, it's just not. If you can refute that, well then fine. Send me your cash app and I'll just send you $100. Otherwise, find something else where I'm wrong on. But I'm gonna spend time with you, I'm gonna spend time with you. Cause I believe you got potential. In the words of Richard Pryor, I believe you got potential. Some teachers are not pastors right or wrong. You're right. The office, it's not an office of teachers. It's not an office of teachers. The office is pastor teacher. So what does he say when describing what pastors are? We have two books or two places we can go to. We can go to 1st Timothy and we can go to Titus. And what does he say these elders, these overseers must be able to do? Teach, teach. So if you're gonna be a teacher, I mean not teacher, if you're gonna be a pastor, shepherd, elder, you must be able to teach. That's why he puts the two together. Are you with me? So some teachers are not pastors, correct. Some teachers teach 5th grade. My wife's a teacher. There are people that teach in Sunday school. Are you with me? That's not the office of a pastor. Every pastor must be a teacher. Every teacher is not a pastor. That's the point. So now there are four offices that Paul describes in Ephesians 4. That's it. Amen. Somebody's in there cooking some fish. And so I'm gonna go eat. I've got a bunch of work to do. And so I'm gonna go eat some dinner. Love you guys. Melvulus, love you too, my friend. I really do. No hard, I don't want you to think that I'm being, I hope you don't feel like I'm being harsh. I hope you don't. So Melvulus comes back and says, so it is five, not four. God bless you, my friend. No, it's not. Listen, my family doesn't like to do fried. I haven't, y'all pray for me. I haven't had, it's hard for me to get some fried fish, some fried chicken, some fried pork chops. I can't get some fried pork, some fried bacon. I can't get that. I can't get that, but they want me to be healthy. So it's always baked something. So baked fish, which is fine, which is fine, which is fine. Anyway, I love you guys to death, but I've got to go. So guys, be blessed. I will see you again tomorrow. Bye bye.
