 I'm feeling better. I feel like I'm feeling better. I'm not all the way back, but I need to do something. Sitting around this house doing nothing is bothersome to me. So, why not? Anyway, I hope I don't feel too stuffy or sound too stuffy. I don't feel stuffy, but I think I sound stuffy. I'm not sure. I'm not sure what's going on, but I got enough coffee in me. I'm taking some more, so we'll see how it goes. Anyway, hope you all are doing well. Hope you all doing wonderful. I did not, full disclosure, I did not go to church today. Could not go to church today. Didn't want to be around other people. Still not feeling all that well, but I feel well enough to talk to you guys. How do we ask a question? That is a good question, Brother Dave. How you ask a question is, no, ma'am, how you ask a question is, my wife wanted to know if I was hungry. Actually, I am. I should have said yes. How do we ask a question? Just put a big cue or question in front of it and just ask the question. As a matter of fact, what question would you like, Brother Dave? Ask your question, I'll make sure. I'll make sure that I definitely get yours. So that being the case also, guys, you also know that I won't be able to get every question. I'll try to get as many as possible. Try to do it again later this week as well. So that being the case, let's go ahead. And I did not get a chance to go over the, what was already submitted. So I'm sorry. So go ahead and let me go ahead and start marking questions right now as we go. And try to make your questions not so difficult. How about that? Make, give me some softball questions. Okay, let's see, let's see. All right, I got your CG. CG has asked the same question 12 times. I'm gonna ask, no, he's put it in three times. He wants me to really answer that question. I don't even know what the question is. I just saw it three times. Let's see, excuse me. Do I sound different? I feel like I sound different. I don't know why I feel like I sound different. Sorry. But it's okay. All right, let's go ahead and answer some of these questions. Why did the Lord use this passage in this set? You know what, in search of truth 41, this sounds like it's gonna be a difficult question. Why did the Lord use this passage from the law to explain how to inherit eternal life when asked by the lawyer in Luke 10, 25, 28. So let's go to Luke 10, 25, 28. Luke 10, 25. And a lawyer stood up and put him to the test, saying, teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life? And he said to him, what is written in the law? How does it read to you? And he answered, you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your mind, and your neighbors. And he said to him, you have answered correctly, do this and you will live. So your question is, why did the Lord use this passage from the law? Because in this, this actually encompasses everything that God wants you, whether... Remember, we've got these different dispensations. We've got this current dispensation where we are under grace after the cross. But what about before the cross? Well, the same thing holds true in that dispensation under the law. But even prior to the law, remember, prior to the law, but after the flood, the same holds true. Prior to the flood, after the fall, the same holds true. Guess what? Prior to the fall, I'm sorry, what did I say? Prior to the flood, but after the law, I mean, after the fall. And every dispensation is the same. And let's put it back on the screen again. You shall love the Lord with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your mind, and your neighbor as yourself. That part is encompassed, even if it's not necessarily spelled out. And so it gets to the crux of the matter, which is, and I said the crux with a T, the crux of the matter, which is that God is first and foremost who you adore, who you focus on. He's your focus, he's your sustainer. He's your source of life. He is the strength, as the song says, you are the strength of my life. You are the source of my strength. So that's really what he is. And so you recognize that. And in doing so, you will follow him. I don't care what is, whether it's under the law, whether it's outside of the law, you will follow and focus on, focus him. And so now obviously, Jesus can only focus on that right now and explain to him because what are they under at that point in time? They are under the law. Amen. Okay, I'm marking a few more as we go. Renee said, I sound nasally, I do. Okay. I feel like, I feel like I sound like something. I don't feel like I sound like myself. So after this, after this, I've got, well, yeah, after this, I'm gonna sit down and shut up. That's what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna sit down and shut up, save my voice. There will be another video that comes on afterwards. And it's an interesting video. As a matter of fact, I might just cover it now. I might just cover it even before then and then just cut it up rather than going ahead and edit the video. So that'd be the case. Yeah, I feel like I sound nasally. But I'm breathing fine. So, oh well. You know what's funny? When you tell someone when you're sick, they tell you every remedy. What you need to do is get a bag of onions, heat it up and put some honey in it and then rub it over your throat. There's just all these weird remedies. Some work, some find, but anyway. What caused the ecstatic babbling in 1 Corinthians 14? If we could ever just read the Bible the way the Bible just wants us to read it without trying to figure out or put things into it without just because this denomination, this doctrine says this is what it means but if we just read it at face value. Now, 1 Corinthians 14 did not just pop up in the air on its own. 1 Corinthians 14 comes after 1 Corinthians 13, which comes after 1 Corinthians 12, which is part of the book of 1 Corinthians which comes after John, which comes after Acts, which comes after Romans and so forth. So, it's not like it's just there by itself. It builds upon something. Now, we've got a history of tongues. We do. We've got a history of tongues, by the way. There are two parts about tongues that need to be understood. If it's a public tongue, and I say if it's a public tongue because I know there's those that want to differentiate and say that there's a private tongue, there's a prayer language. When prior to 1 Corinthians 14, there is no such thing as a prayer language. There is no such thing as an angelic language even if people want to try to use 1 Corinthians 13. There just is no such thing. And so, we get there. And the only reason why that is because what we're doing is we are interpreting the scriptures based off of certain people's experiences. Rather than interpreting people's experiences off of the scriptures. What do I mean? We will interpret some of these outbreaks that we see in some of these churches that's only been happening for the last 100 years. And we're saying, oh, well, that must be. We have to find it in the Bible. So, where are we finding the Bible? Well, this doesn't sound like actual languages that we see in Acts 2. So, it must be something different. And it must be something of God because I'm of God. I love the Lord of the Holy Spirit. And I can never be wrong. Never have I ever been wrong, especially on matters of the Holy Spirit. And so, what I'm doing must be found in the Bible. And so, I'll make it fit. So, what must it be since it's not an actual language? It must be tongues as described in Acts, in 1 Corinthians 12, 13, and 14. Meaning, it's some sort of, of course, not even 12, but really 13. It's an angelic language. It's a prayer language. Never in the history of the Bible do we have one someone praying in a tongue. Now, they'll go to 1 Corinthians 14 later on and they'll point this out. But that's not what Paul is saying. Paul is saying, if you do this, what you ought to do is rather do it with some understanding. Know what you're saying. And they skip over that part. Paul says it, if a person, if a person, if I pray in this tongue, but I don't have any understanding what shall I do? There's a problem and he comes back with a solution. The solution is to pray with understanding. Know what you're saying. If you don't know what you're saying, then your tongues are illegitimate. Bottom line. If you don't know what you're saying, when you so-called speaking tongues, praying tongues, whatever you wanna call it, you don't know what you just said. Your tongues are illegitimate. There's no if, ands, buts, and about it. Now two things accompanied the public tongues. Obviously the tongues, I believe that it's a language because it's always been a language, even up until 1st Corinthians 14. It's a language, the only time that we've seen it actually in use. We've only seen it actually done once where we actually hear what's being stated. Only one time in scripture, I think about that for a second guys, only one time in scriptures do we see tongues actually being used and we know what's being stated. Now in Acts 10 and 19, we hear, we understand that they spoke in these languages and we believe also in Acts 8, but we don't hear what's being said. We know that they're speaking tongues because the Jews hear them and they marvel that other people other than Jews actually have the Holy Spirit. But only in Acts 2 do we actually hear what they're saying. Something else that happens in Acts 2 that's also supposed to accompany tongues. That is interpretation. Peter gets up and explains to those people who don't understand. There are those who are speaking it, they know what they're saying, there are those that are hearing it, they know what they're being told because they tell us we hear them speaking and magnifying God in our own language and then Peter tells the people who don't speak that language, he tells them in their language, he explains them what's happening. If that's not what Peter does, then guess what we don't have? We don't have one example in the Bible of the gift of interpretation. But what's causing this is that that when Parham and other folks at the turn of the century, the 20th century, thought that they could also access this gift, they actually initially thought that it was actually a language. They thought that what they were speaking was an actual language. So they go with these missionaries overseas and realize it's not an actual language. And so what we got, again, we got to figure out what it was we did and it could not be that we were wrong. So let's make it up. Well, it's a prayer language, it's an angelic language. Okay. And so the reason why we see this ecstatic babbling, by the way, in Acts 14, I'm sorry, Acts 14, in 1 Corinthians 14, why you see this babbling happening there is because just like today, they want to be spirits. Matter of fact, Paul says that you have a desire to be spiritual. So what should you do? You should desire whatever builds up or edifies the body. And so every spiritual gift should build up the body, not yourself. Everything that 1 Corinthians 14 too is saying that you should build yourself up. That's not what he's saying at all. I won't go into that right now. But 1 Corinthians 12, he says, I don't want you to be ignorant, not knowing concerning spiritual gifts or spiritual things. 1 Corinthians 14 goes back and says that when you pray in this and you don't know what you're saying, you should have some understanding what you're saying. So I want to pray with understanding. And he says that some of you are saying out of your mouth, crisis cursed. Why do you say that if you love the Lord? Well, because you don't know what you're saying. You're doing this babbling because you just want to say something. And so you got this zeal and you have no idea what you're saying. And so that's where that comes from. So that was my short answer to your question. Okay, I did see, there it is. I got your brother, Dave. I got you marked. You mark a few more of these. Now that you know what? Now I'm doing more talking, I can feel it. Yes, on fire for Jesus apologetic. I did see your question and I haven't marked. As a matter of fact, to show you, I have, I haven't marked. Let's go ahead and put it up. Is revelation or after resurrection when he leaves on a cloud? If revel, hold on, I'm trying to, hold on. See if I can understand. Is this revelation or after resurrection when he leaves on a cloud? You mean Jesus? What does it mean that they will see him coming before tasting death? Okay, let's go back, Matt. You were referencing Matthew 1628. So let's go to Matthew 1628. And I told you, stop asking difficult questions. 1628, truly, truly ask. Okay, I see what you're pointing at. Truly truly I say to you, there are some of those who are standing here who will not taste death until they see the Son of Man coming in his kingdom. So what does that mean? Matter of fact, let's pull up. Do I want to go to the passage? Okay. And by the way, thank you for asking difficult question. Thank you for asking a question that requires a whole lot of commentary. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Let's back up. You know what? No, let's stay there, let's stay there. Let me instead, I'm trying to think do I want to, because I want to do this fairly quickly, but I probably need to go and pull up extra scriptures. But I don't want to just say, let's just cover this later. No, I was going to cover it now. Let me do something, let's, wow. And see, I would have to pull up all of these. There's all of these extra passages. And I don't want to do that. Okay, let's go back to, let's start in verse 24. No, you know what? No, let's go to verse 21. Let's start in 1621, I'm sorry. For that time, Jesus began to show his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem and suffer many things from the elders and the chief priests and the scribes and be killed and be raised on a third day. Now remember, from John 14, 15 and 16, Jesus is preparing his disciples for his impending death. Okay, so we see him talking about the Holy Spirit coming. So verse 22, Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him saying, God forbid it, Lord, this shall never be. This shall never happen to you. But he turned and said to Peter, get behind me, Satan. You are a stumbling block to me for you are not setting your mind on God's interests but man's interests. Then Jesus said to his disciples, if anyone wishes to come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it. For what will a prophet of man if he gains a whole wide world, a whole world and for fit his soul? Or what man will give in exchange for his soul for the son of man is going to come in the glory of his father with the angels and will then repay every man according to his deeds? Truly, truly I say to you that there are some of those who are standing here who will not taste death until they see the son of man coming in his glory. So now the question is verse 27 for the son of man is going to come in the glory of his father with angels and will then repay every man according to his deeds? Well, 27 seems to be, matter of fact it has to be speaking of when he comes back. Problem is not one of those people are gonna be around when he comes back as a matter of fact, he hadn't come back, that part we do know. That part I think it's safe to assume that he hadn't come back. And so when we get to 28, truly truly I say to you that there are some of those who are standing here who will not taste death until they see the man, the son of man coming in his kingdom. Now, is there a difference between 20, I'm sorry I didn't put it on the screen. Is there a difference between 27 and 28 for the son of man is going to come in the glory of his father with angels and will then repay every man according to his deeds? Truly, truly I say to you that there are some of those who are standing here who will not taste death until they see the son of man coming in his kingdom? There's only two ways to take this. One, this is speaking about him actually coming back a second time, the problem is that didn't happen. You cannot say that even that generation, even if you go back through 24, which is speaking of something a little bit more or I think a little differently, you can't make that fit because then things don't add up. He didn't come back. Not at any point in time in that generation's time. What did happen in that generation's time and some of them didn't see death is that him seeing the son of man coming in his kingdom, which would have to be, remember Jesus makes his prayer, give me back the glory that I had with you in the very beginning. That's his prayer that he makes in John 17. And so he then has as he makes a statement at the end of Matthew 20, Matthew 20, let's go to it, 28. Mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm. 28, 18, and Jesus came up and spoke to them saying, all authority has been given to me in heaven and on earth. And so to me, I could be wrong, but that would seem to be what he's speaking of. One, God, Jesus' praying, give me back the glory that I had with you in the very beginning. And I think this is what he's speaking of him coming into the glory, him coming into his kingdom, him leaving with all authority, as he said. I don't think you can take it as an end time statement because the end time hadn't happened, even if you wanna make it some 70 AD prophecy or what have you, he didn't come back. And that's the most important thing, he did not come back. And so it couldn't be him coming back, it's just him coming into his kingdom. Okay, let me go to Brother Dave. Brother Dave says, in Galatians 5, 19, 21 says, those who do such sins cannot inherit the kingdom of God. But then 1 Corinthians 15, 45 to 50 says, no flesh and blood can inherit the kingdom. How to interpret the section. So let's go to, well, let's go to both of them. Galatians 5, 19, 5, 19, and the other one was 1 Corinthians 15, okay, 15 and what, 45, okay. Okay, let's go to the first one, 15. Now, the deeds of the flesh are evident, which are immorality, impurity, sensuality, idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strive, jealousy, outburst of anger, disputes, dissensions, factions, envy, and drunkenness, carousing it, and things like these, of which I forewarned you just as I forewarned you, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God, but the fruit of the spirit. Okay, so now, so now we're gonna compare that with Galatians 15, 45 through 50. There's also written, the first man Adam became a living soul. Hold on, your question was, it says no flesh and blood can inherit. Oh, okay, I was just asking, I was just asking. Now I say this to, brother, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable. Behold, I tell you a mystery, we shall, we not, we not all, we will not all sleep, but we will all be changed in a moment in the twinkling of an eye at the last trumpet. So your question is, how could that be? Well, I don't think the two actually relate. The two don't relate in terms of how can no flesh inherit. Well, number one, physically speaking, this particular flesh will not inherit it. This is a corruptible flesh. In order to see him, we have to have an incorruptible or imperishable body to go before the glory of the Lord. Our pattern of walk, which is determined by what's on the inside of us is gonna determine that. And that will determine if we're gonna get a glorified body or not. So anybody that is, oh, by the way, this is also towards anyone that's wanting to claim something because of some sort of physical right, genetic right, maybe the Jews, you don't get that because of any sort of physical reason, any sort of national reason, sort of ethnic reason. No flesh, again, you're not born of God. You are not born not of the will of man, of flesh, of blood, but you are born of the will of God. And so if you're born of the will of God, you won't going back to Galatians, you won't be the ones that are gonna be practicing those such things. By the way, we covered this before, what does it mean to practice such things? Because Paul even in the case that the things he didn't wanna do, he is a practicing, what does that mean? So there's something we need to look at. What does it mean to practice in? But Paul does stuff he didn't wanna do. And the stuff that he didn't wanna do, he says he practiced those things. What does he mean? Well, he means those things that he didn't will to do. If you do things, but your desire, your heart's desire, it's not to do those things. For example, just bring up the example such as homosexuality. What about the guy who is practicing homosexuality? Can he inherit the kingdom of heaven? Well, there's a difference between the person that is practicing a sin and the one that's struggling with the sin. The one that's struggling with the sin doesn't want to be. The homosexual guy that's struggling, I don't want to be a homosexual. I love the Lord and I want this taken away or I don't like dealing with porn or I don't like this anger. Whatever it is, your desire, if your desire is I don't want to do those things, but God hadn't taken those away yet. Maybe with other folks that he's taking away quicker than with me. Well, it could be for a lot of reasons. One, God might be using you and your struggle to bring someone else along don't know. But the key is what Paul says, I don't desire to do those things that I keep practicing. Versus the one that practices those things, he does desire to do those things. In other words, he embraces his sin while at the same time trying to hold on to God. He cannot, you cannot. And so that person practices those things, he will not get a glorified body. He is a person that will always be in this flesh and will die in this flesh. Amen. Okay. It's weird talking now since I haven't talked as much lately. Okay. Ezekiel 3, 18, 19. What does it mean? Okay, I'll go to Ezekiel 3, 18, 19. Let's keep this in context. This is God speaking to Ezekiel. At the end of seven days, the word of the Lord came to me that is Ezekiel, son of man, I have appointed you a watchman to the house of Israel. Whenever you hear a word from my mouth, warn them from me. When I say to the wicked, you will surely die and you do not warn him or speak out to warn the wicked from his city. I mean, from his wicked ways, which I'm sorry, way that he may live, that wicked man shall die in his iniquity, but his blood I will require at your hand. Yet if you have warned the wicked and he does not turn from his wickedness or from the wickedness, from the wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity, but you have delivered yourself. So here's what he's saying to him. He's not saying this to us. This is not to us. This is to Ezekiel. God is saying Ezekiel. If you don't warn these folks, then their blood will be on you. Not on, sorry, their blood will be on you, but if you do warn them and they don't change, fine, you're okay. Now, can we learn from that? Well, yeah, sure. But us as believers, if we don't warn people like we should, well, does that mean that we lose our salvation? No, no. Now, we should as we live, we should have a pattern of letting folks know about Christ and there's different ways to go about doing it. We should warn people in different ways and it's not gonna look the same way. With Ezekiel, it was specific. We are not held to the same standard as Ezekiel because God didn't tell us to go to warn certain people. But Paul tells us for two reasons, the tear of the Lord and for the love of God, we will compel us to warn people, but he doesn't have the same warning with us that he does with Ezekiel, that their blood will be held against us. Now, what might happen though, he might just say you're useless and no good. Why do I have you here taking up air and skin? Jesus says that you are the salt of the earth and if salt loses its saltiness, then you are worthless. You are no good. What benefit are you except to be thrown out and trampled on the foot by men? And so the reward or the consequence might be if you're not warning people. The consequence might be God just takes you about here. God might say, hey, I got a room for you. I got a spot for you right here. Come sit with me right here, which by the way is good for you, but you're not benefiting anybody here on earth. So, right, let me go find Sierra's question. Should Christians observe the holy days such as Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, Sukkot, et cetera, or is it only, well, Sierra, you're not Jewish. So there's your answer. It's not for you. Now, in terms of the, by the way, it's hard for them to observe all those days as well. It's hard for them to observe the day of atonement. Why? Because God is not going to accept that the atonement. There's no altar for them to shed the blood on. There is no, there's no way for them to fully do it the way God's going to do so. As a matter of fact, that's kind of the way it is now for Jews. They are rejecting the one way that God has now given them to be saved. This is what Paul brings up in Galatians. Anyone who seeks to be justified by the law, you have been cut off. So there are those that might see the benefit of it. Now, I don't have a problem with someone who is a Messianic Jew, who is place of faith in Christ, who might want to observe some of those holy days. I don't have a problem with that because they're just doing it out of tradition. As long as they don't think that there is something from that that's going to cause them to be saved. If you're doing so thinking that you're going to be saved or justified by that, then Paul says, you're cut off from Christ. There's no way for you to get to Christ because you're thinking that this is your way to get there. You cannot get there. And so anyone that wants to keep the law, keep works and so forth, that's going to be how you get to heaven. You're not going to get to heaven. You've taken the wrong route. So, can a divorce couple who both have... Are you saying can a couple get divorced if they've both committed adultery? If that's what you're asking? If that's what you're asking, I mean, yeah. They've got some issues. They don't have to. That's the other, that's the bigger thing. You don't have to. But literally speaking, yeah, sure you could. But I would say before you do, go to Christ first. Go to God and then let Him work in you. Corey, you did not yet know the power of reform theology. Join us in weakness. That's that Star Wars talk. By the way, I'm wearing my comfortable shirt. And I didn't even realize it was a Star Wars shirt, but Luke, join me. That's cool, Brian. That's cool. That's cool. Amen. I'm not joining the reform doctrine though, but amen. CRT in the church, yes or no. Is there a scripture that's supported or goes against it? Well, first of all, you gotta ask whose definition of CRT? And depending upon who you ask, there's gonna be different definitions and what have you. But let's just put it this way. Let's just say, is social justice, does it have its place in church? Well, I would put it this way. Justice has its place in church. And so you do good to people, especially those of the household of faith, but do good to people, period, to those who are your brothers, who are not, to your neighbors, who's your neighbor, everybody around you. You won't, why? Because that's the spirit of the Lord in you, if indeed he dwells in you. Now, does that mean that we should go and focus on every issue that's out there, every social issue, let's say some sort of issue that has a racial component or what have you? No, no, just be godly. If you do God, I would say do you, don't do you, just do God. If you do God, if you walk in such a way, you move this up. If you walk in such a way to where, there it is, if you walk in such a way to where your light shines, then when you come across a situation where let's say it's a racial component, then how would you behave? Just like God wants you to. If it's something where there's someone that's poor and wealthy or someone of different sexes. There's only two, by the way. You will be just in how you meet out your opinion or your decisions, your actions. And so in that regard, but should we go out of our way to be social conscious? No, because Jesus didn't. Jesus, it's just a part of his lifestyle. Remember, all the things that we have today, Jesus had in his days, as a matter of fact, even more so. Jesus actually had slaves around him. Jesus actually got to witness certain atrocities. There were different classes of citizens and it was ranked that way because we talked about institutionalized racism, they definitely had it then. Remember, the system that they were under, the Jews were subjugated to the Romans. So, but did Jesus seek to come in and destroy that system? No. No, he's not coming to you life and life more abundantly, but not in this world, out of this world. So I would not focus on it, just be a person who is a just person in how they deal with everyone else. Amen. That's true to only one race, but when I say that, and I get myself in trouble, but we say one race and there only is one race, even biologically speaking, but one color, there's more than one color. And God's the one that made the different colors, so what is CRT? Who knows? By the way, it says for critical research theory. Okay, let's answer some of these questions. Cherry, cherry. Why is Acts 238 always accompanied with the evidence of speaking in tongues? My Bible doesn't read that because it doesn't. Matter of fact, let's go to it. Interesting thing about the folks that keep bringing up Acts 238, they promote certain things that aren't actually promoted there. Peter said to them, repent. Each one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. By the way, this is what we call exegetical. And so it's really be taken, repent as you're being baptized. So the repenting and baptizing is a simultaneous thing, guys. It's a baptizing of the Holy Spirit as getting the Holy Spirit. That's how this is read, guys. This is what's called ep-exegetical. We talked before about the ep-exegetical chai. But if you take this as three separate things, do the three separate things happen in Acts like it's just been spoken of? For the promise is for you and your children and for all of those who are far off as many as the Lord our God will call themself. And with many other words, he solidified and kept on exhorting them saying, be saved from this perversion duration. So then those who had received his word were baptized and on that day, they were added to 3,000 souls. They were continuing to voting themselves to the apostles teaching, and to fellowship and to the breaking of bread and prayer. Here's the problem. What we don't see after that is one, we don't see them speaking in tongues. We don't see them a physical outward receiving of the Holy Spirit in this, okay? All we know is Peter makes a statement because Peter's making those three things. It's not three different things that you do. Repent on two, be baptized, three and receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. That's not how that works. Every believer who has been baptized into the Lord has the Holy Spirit because the Lord is baptizing you into the Holy Spirit with the Holy Spirit. Baptized into the body. Remember John makes a statement that I baptize you with water, but Jesus is gonna baptize you in or with the Holy Spirit. And so the reason why your Bible didn't read that way, Cherry Cherry, because that's not the way the Bible reads. So people often use Philippians 4-6 for praying for people with anxiety issues. Are they using O, be anxious for nothing? Let's go to it. No, by the way, if I can spell Philippians right. There's an L in there, Corey. There it is. I hear something outside. Wait a second. I mean, wait a second. Let me pull up something for a second real quick, guys. I gotta check something. I can't tell, but it sounds like, sounds like there's rain outside, which is amazing. It doesn't rain in Texas anymore. Anyway, be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the word is anxious. The word is, you know, don't get too excited, too head over heels or what have you, but it's not talking about anxiety. I guess you can kind of make that fit, but he's really just saying, just be patient. Just be patient. Let God work things. So people tend to use scriptures the wrong way because they see a word and they see there's another word that has some of the same words in it. So anxious, anxiety, anxious and anxiety are two different things. Now they are formed by the same word, angst. And so, yeah, anxiety tends to be more psychological. So let me see if I can understand this question. From the Calvinistic perspective, which I'm not, is the worst false teachers can do is cause true Christians to stumble. I don't know. I mean, I don't know how to answer that question, be honest with you. Tell you what, do me a favor. Ask it a different way, because maybe I'm just not understanding it. So ask it a different way, could be that I'm just not getting it. Why is Jesus called the Lion of Jude? The Lion part just kind of speaks to his regalness and ferocity, not in like an aggressive fashion. But it's kingliness, but he's of Judah, the tribe that he's of. You have a lot of different adjectives, a lot of different things that are ascribed to him. And it doesn't, it's just kind of, idiomatically, metaphorically speaking, it's just describing him just kind of just flowery words to describe him, but there's nothing, other than just his regalness and his kingship out of the tribe of Judah. I saw, let's see, what was that question? Okay, let me mark some of these questions as I'm going. Is the body of Christ the apple of, let me run. Apple, I wanna, you know what, that's a good question. I wanna cover that passage, because that passage is actually, it's an interesting passage, whereas it's, this is in, keep me as when he says that keep me as the, that is Psalm 17, I believe, I think that's Psalm 17. Wait a second, hold on. Okay, let me see if I can find this passage. Okay, here it is. Here it is, this is an interesting passage, by the way. I have called upon you, let's start in verse six. I have called upon you for you will answer me, oh God, and incline your ear to me, hear my speech, wondrously show your loving kindness, oh savior of those who take refuge at your right hand, from those who rise up against him, keep me as the apple of your eye, hide me in the shadow of your wings. This apple of my eye has kind of, it's weird, it has taken on a different meaning. The apple of my eye, when we think apple of my eye, we kind of think of, you know, this is, you know, I like you, keep me as someone that you really like, that you're fond of, you know, regard me. But no, the word actually means the apple of my eye, the word apple is not what that word actually means. The word apple, let's put it over here. It is actually, huh, I never realized that. It's actually the word ish, but different than the word man, this literally means the pupil, keep me as the pupil of your eye. Or what's the pupil of my eye, or the pupil of his eye? And by the way, he didn't actually have an eye like that. But what he's saying is keep me in the center of you, keep me right, right there. But this term has also over the years has taken on some extra meaning. The pupil was also called at that time the apple of their eye. So what's funny is, even though it's metaphoric, it's also literal. The literal becomes a metaphor, the metaphor also refers back to the literal. So he's really saying keep me in the center of, or keep me as the middle, or keep me really as like. There's this Hebrew word right here. If you see it highlighted, this word key, well, keep me like the center of your eye. Keep me right there in the middle, keep me. That's literally what he's saying, so. But I thought that was kind of interesting because we say that a lot on the apple of his eye or what have you. And so they were like, man, don't throw me away, just keep working with me. Keep working with me, Lord. I know I'm a mess, but I love you. Does Joel 2.28 confirm women pastors? No, it does not. No, it does not. My pastor today referenced it to confirm his wife as co-pastor. Okay, couple of things, get your new church. I'm sorry, get your new church. Let's go to Joel 2.28. As a matter of fact, yeah, let's go to Joel 2.28. 2.28. It will come about after this that I will pour out my spirit on all mankind and your sons and your daughters will prophesy. Your old men will dream dream. Your young men will see visions. Well, what is he getting at? Well, if you read the entirety of Joel 2, but I haven't covered it, but Joel 2 is talking about what's gonna happen with Israel going forward and even up to the end. And so what's gonna happen is as the spirit, this is why it's also referenced in Acts 2, when the spirit of God is poured out, what do men and women do? They are going to prophesy, but not in the office of a prophet. The prophecy, prophesy is just them giving revelation of God. You're gonna see that happen with male and females, but not in the office of a prophet or the office of pastor or teacher. Remember, and I don't know why folks just glance over this. The Bible in two occasions tells us, gives us the qualifications for pastor, 1 Timothy 3 and in Titus 1 also. So we can say that women can be, but then, oh, by the way, ignore what Paul says the qualifications are. So it must mean the only thing that could be is that they can give a revelation. They can, and the word prophecy, old testament new just means just to give an utterance, just to utter, just to speak. Well, can women and men speak? Sure, both. Can both be in the office? No, matter of fact, there's only qualifications for just certain males. So it should not be used and cannot be used for them to be in that office. To do so is just to disregard the scriptures. And again, I said this before, and it's become more and more of a problem in churches. If you're gonna start disregarding certain passages here, you're gonna end up finding yourself disregarding other passages throughout the scriptures as well. And it ends up becoming the snowball effect where all of the scriptures are becoming subject to somebody else's interpretation. And that's a problem. That's a problem. Okay, are you saying Zachariah two? Okay, let's go Zachariah two, three. Then I lifted up my eyes and looked and behold, there was a man with a measuring line in his hand. So I said, where are you going? He said to me to measure Jerusalem, to see how wide it is and how long it is. And behold, the angel who was speaking with me was going out and another angel was coming out to meet him and said to him, run and speak to that young man saying, Jerusalem will be inhabited without walls because of the multitude of men and cattle within it. So your question is, you're saying you're trying to figure out, you can't determine how many which persons are speaking in order. Angel of the Lord, he, another angel, the angel speaking. I'm not, hold on, I'm not, I'm not getting your question, Jeff. Do you have a favor? Ask your question again. Are you saying all of chapter two and all of chapter three? Is that what you're asking me? Ask your question again, Jeff. I'm not, I'm not following you. So ask it again. I'm a little slow today. So you got to re-ask the question. Okay, did the apostles get the Holy Spirit once in Matthew 10? And then where in Matthew 10? Jesus does go to them and breathe on them and say, receive the Holy Spirit. However, they did not get the Holy Spirit yet. We know so one, because Jesus tells them that you will receive the Holy Spirit, but he tells them that at his death. He tells them in John 14, 15, 16, what's gonna happen, the Holy Spirit will come in them and they will testify of him. Well, when he, before he even leaves, matter of fact, at his death, they're not testifying of him. Think about it. You go to get the Holy Spirit and then you're gonna testify of me. And what do they proceed to do at his death? Not testify of him. So they couldn't have had the Holy Spirit then. Matter of fact, they scattered, they left. Jesus meets them again in Acts one and tells them that again, you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you and you shall be my witnesses. They hadn't got it. So what he's speaking of, receive the Holy Spirit and breathe on them. He says that he's really telling them that you will receive the Holy Spirit. It hadn't happened yet, but they are going to receive the Holy Spirit. It just hadn't happened at that point in time. Okay, he says, in regards to my question, Corey, I've identified the angel of the Lord, man among the, these difficult questions. Now I have to read the whole thing, Jeff. Let me drink some coffee. Yeah, it's raining here. I'm looking at the deal and it's actually raining outside. How cool is that? So now it's gonna be 130 degrees out here and humid. Let's go to starting verse six. So hold there flee from the land of the North, declares the Lord, for I have dispersed you as the four winds of heaven declares the Lord. Hold Zion, escape you who are living with the daughter of Babylon, for thus is the Lord of hosts. After glory he has sent me against the nations which plunder you. So are you, so you're saying, by the way that word is there or that phrase is put up, there's actually the same word. This apple of his eye, but that's actually not the same word. Anyway, for behold, I will have my hand over them so they will be plunder for their slaves. Then you will know that the Lord of hosts has sent me. So you're asking, is that the pre-incarnate, if you ask, is that the pre-incarnate Christ? Yes, that is. See, behold I'm coming and I dwell in your midst declares the Lord. Many nations would, if that's you're asking, yeah, that's the angel of the Lord. That is the Lord. That is the pre-incarnate Christ speaking. If we are no longer under the law, why do pastors go to Melachi three when collecting tithes and offering? Well, there's two reasons, there's two reasons, Andrea. Two reasons. One, they don't know any better. Hate to put it that way, but that's just the truth. We're not under the law And so this was never prescribed for us to do or the other way is they might just want the money Now if they are still doing that Is that is that a big knock against them not knowing any better when I did say kind of harshly but It's clearly not not for us tithes is only mentioned mentioned once in the New Testament That's when Jesus is saying how they how they tie it so There's no command for us to do so. It's just a command for us to give an offering But how much depends upon your heart? Why they do so you'd have to ask him I guess give it get a better understanding But there's really only two possibilities. They're just misinformed about it or two. They just really want the money And it could be both It could I pray that if they do it is the first I because it's an issue of the head and not the heart. Okay, let's go to this one oops Oh, okay. Give me a second. All right Chadwick Grant says what was David's sin exactly after the census was taken in Second saving 24 10. Okay, there were one God tells them to it second time David does David does So the reason why why the sin was Is because he's he did so on his own in a room was as a result of pride just to show. Hey look look what's happening here again, I Don't care who you are. I don't care who the person is Let it Everybody's gonna make mistakes. Everybody's gonna mess up. Everybody's gonna get in their flesh Everybody's pride. Everybody's gonna do the wrong thing including David David now what David you got to give David credit though David when he messes up He recognized it if it's a small mess up if it's a big mess up dog on it now if only David had recognized the error of his ways before he aired Which goes to the video I put out today that spoke about how is David a man after God's own heart Which he's not a man after God's heart and that he has a same heart as God That's not what that meant that meant that David was just chosen by God. He's a man that God chose Unlike Saul people chose him God chose David not because David was a Godly man God in choosing him is going to make David Godly God is not in the habit of choosing people based upon the merit that they deserve God chooses them and then they end up because of his choosing because of sovereignty his working in them They end up performing the way that God wants when he causes them So it's never that he saw something so wonderful and David David listen if what he saw and David was so wonderful Well, my Lord, we all can that's not a high bar. It's not a high bar at all Dave matter of fact that David did some things that none of you have ever done you some of you have not committed adultery or Killed someone lied about it covered it up and so forth But that's at the point one David most importantly was out of the tribe of Judah The least of his brothers and guys I'm going to use this man But what David does show is the fact that David loves the Lord. He messes up and comes back and love. I'm sorry so My mother seemed to think that we are entitled to all the promise Promises of the Jews because we are grafted in could you please help me to explain how that is not the same Not with the same well tell mother By the way to a mom I said hi But that's not for us We're not we're not Israel. We're not the Jews. Remember the Jews have this spirit of stupid put over them The Jews have this partial hardening now if you want to get if mom wants to get what all the Jews have coming Then she needs to understand Jeremiah 30 Jeremiah 31 Daniel 9 Daniel 12 Matthew 24 God is going to deal with Israel in a harsh way. He's gonna deal with the Jews in a harsh way He's not gonna do the same thing with us Gentiles who are believers never Gentiles who are not believers Oh, they're gonna get it too But the Gentiles we don't have to try to ask for or to get what the Jews have coming Because we we're not an afterthought We're not plan B. God has always desired for us He's desired for us to come to him and for the Jews to come to him. He says so in Genesis 12 3 Abraham's physical descendants are gonna be blessed so to will those who are not his physical descendants But but because of faith are considered to be his children also As a matter of fact, it's those of faith who are who are Gentiles and Jews both are really his true children because of faith But what does God say in Jeremiah 31? He says that 30 30 136 that Israel will never cease. He tells us that Israel will never cease to be a nation before him So he's gonna deal with Israel But he's gonna deal with them in a harsh way As a matter of fact, we'll talk about this later on in the week But you'll notice when God starts talking about in times Have you all noticed what group he doesn't talk to the end times about? When he's talking about in time stuff when he's talking about some sort of bad times or we call the tribulations He's tribulation knows so he's talking to Israel But when it seems to be some sort of the verses even whether you agree with it or not When he seems to be talking about a rapture even though some folks might not agree Whatever that whatever those verses are he's talking to Gentiles Why is that because? What he has for one group he didn't have planned for the next group Does that mean there's two different ways of salvation? No, because everybody has to come because of faith in Christ He's gonna make the Jews. He's gonna break them. He's gonna he's gonna do some punishing and They'll look back and the Jews will say they the Jews themselves will repeat what Isaiah 53 says They'll look back and they'll say he was bruised for our transgression He bore our iniquities So all those past tense verbs that are used in in Isaiah 53 is for those Jews at that time. That's not for us Amen If you are afraid that you are a tear and a goat if you are afraid that you're not truly saved Then what must you do? Place your faith in Christ Now again, you can know there are some things that you can look at for yourself Others can't see it. You can see it in God. It's only two people can see this you and God now It might be you got some thoughts Some actions that Betray What the truth of God says here's what I mean you are a person you you may Be saved you may not be safe. I have no idea. There's no way for me to fully know But being saved You can look like David on his worst day Being saved you can look like Peter on his worst day Being saved you can look like all the other disciples on their worst day You know those type of money abandoned Jesus when they left Being saved you can be like a lot of people on their worst day Best people looking at you on your worst day. Can I just tell you this in Jesus name? Forget them Oh by the way, forget your own mirror Here's how you know Do you cry out for him? Remember Paul makes a statement The sin that I keep doing Paul on his what Paul was not a good person Paul was a person that sinned Paul was a person that's that gets things wrong Somebody even had a goofy statement just utterly stupid and goofy Because I made a statement that said that Paul was wrong about John Mark. Of course Paul was wrong about John Mark That's not debatable. He was wrong about John Mark He didn't think John Mark was ready for the for the ministry Let's leave him alone Clearly he was wrong. Does that mean that Paul sinned? No Paul didn't sin being wrong didn't mean that you sinned Teacher, I think two plus two is seven. Does that mean I'm a sinner? No, I'm not the smart I'm not the brightest person But you can be wrong and not be sinned so Paul was wrong about Mark He asked John Mark to come to him bring John Mark at the very end Paul can be wrong. How do we know Paul says the good that I want to do? I don't do the bad. I wanted I want to stop doing I practice that thing But he talks about his desire So this is how you can know if you are a goat or if you're a sheep if you are wheat or if you're terror Your desire do you desire only you know? Only you know your desire when you're when it when there's some addiction when there's a stronghold are you Calling out for God or are you just you know, I gotta hope I hope you fix this part about me God, I lie all the time. I mean I like lying Yeah, maybe you'll take away. Maybe maybe not God, I yeah, God, I keep I keep lusted and fornicating in this net. Yeah, but you love me Well, that's different versus Lord take this away from me Lord, please. I Told you guys the prayer that I prayed Huh Horrible prayer horrible prayer horrible prayer. I prayed I prayed a horrible. It was a good prayer. Actually, I'm kidding It was a good prayer, but it was a horrible prayer. How's that that makes no sense. Well, I prayed Lord with you I'm stuck in this rut. I can't fix it I try to keep fixing it and when I try to fix it it needs more fixing because my fixings broke So Lord, I need you to do something about this scene get me away from this. So what does he do? Tell you what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna expose everything Yeah, I'm gonna take it out of your hands Corey It's almost like he said your wish is my command I'm taking it out of your hands Corey expose you and put your head on the chopping block Matter of fact, I got a spot for you Got a prison over here with your name on it Yeah, and I like the song guys got a blessing with your name on it guys got a prison with your name on it and That prayer because it was an honest prayer for me Get your tail over here sit down somewhere and let me beat on you a little bit Let me let me mold you in the have you ever had somebody fix something on you like you got a pain on your shoulder Your head and something like that and they're not they're not gentle They're not gentle at all. It's like man. Look how you or I remember when I was a little boy I would get my hair. It's when I had hair and I had a nice little fro Nice little fro I'm talking about it. It was like it was it was it wasn't quite Jackson 5 but it was you know It was nice. It was and my mother would would you know, you ever had your mother cut your you know Do your hair and she's not gentle Pull in and this and that and and holding your face and you know all that kind of stuff like that Well when God gets a hold of you and God goes to molding you and God goes to working on you God goes to fix on you. He's not as gentle as you want him to be God what gives with you? No, I don't have a perm CG. I had a firm. No, I didn't have a firm No, but when God goes to molding you or as David puts it when God goes to purging you No, he does not put you in the general cycle No, and then you and and it's not air dry fluff dry nose tumble dry. It's raw because he loves you and In the middle of all that you know who who is your father because that's what you keep calling up to That's who you see You are no if your faith if you're fleshful We got a problem with your faithful meaning that you that your faith keeps showing his head and causing you to call out to him Those are indications that that is who your father is Okay, and so what you do is you keep drawing closer to him By reading by praying all of those things. It's rough. Listen. It's hard out here for a saint It is it is supposed to be it's not your it's not your world. It's not your home But you'll get better at it. You'll grow and grow and grow and grow and grow I told my wife this morning. I woke up happy. I thought about something. Can I can I can I bless you all for a minute? Let me drink some coffee because I can feel my throat And I'm drooling dribbling coffee But I'm tasting my I told my wife this morning woke up with a smile I said have y'all seen some some people who you could There are some people that peaked early Some folks that peaked early, you know the folks that peaked in high school their best their best days when they were 17, 18, 19 I don't want that to be me. No I am My best days are ahead of me and here I am Just a few some days away from 51 and I and I said to my wife. I see you realize That the majority of our adult life is still ahead of us I've only got what 30 30 years or 31 32. Well, I guess we go from 18 33 years of being an adult Let's just say from 21. So 30 years of being an adult Lord willing. I've got at least 30 more in me. I don't listen. I I think I I'm gonna do my best to make it It's not on me. I can't determine if I make it to 80 or not But let's say I do make it to 80 make it to 90. What have you I've got most of my adult life ahead of me So I'm entering into my peak It's getting better for me It is getting better. You need to look at it that way It's getting better. How so I'm getting closer to God I'm getting wiser What Cory yank that's smart to begin with that's okay, though That means I got I can improve a whole lot. You either dumbest thing on youtube. That's fine. That's fine That means I can I can my my improvement will be marketed Will be markedly greater each week Because that's how dumb I am so I can only go up from here, right my wisdom. You ain't very very wise Okay, that's fine. I'll get wiser and wiser. I'll be the wiserest person In the history of wisdom in in comparison to my growth So the outlook is great That is the way you need to look at the outlook is great because why you're in him And so your best days lie ahead now if you think differently. Well, I got this I got that well fine fine Um, first of all with that negativity stay away from me I Nobody likes a complaining grouchy person Nobody not even you Now you like your own why take it back? I take it back Some people do like misery some people do I can't stand remember if you're gonna complain about everything go complain somewhere else I don't want to you know what I I used to say something that was kind of mean I would always have to come back and explain it. So forgive me, but I would say With all that tough that all that negative talk We'll kill yourself then you got two choices either work it out or kill yourself Why would you say that? Well, okay fine killing yourself is harsh, right? Well, then why talk that way why talk like like that's harsh. I mean, you're literally giving yourself that why die slow death So fight push forward move You literally have The greatest advantage in the history of mankind on your side You literally have the greatest advantage on your side and you don't act like it Maybe it's because you don't know lord the lord If you know the lord and you know him like I know him well, then what's your complaining for? What are you doing? What are you doing? Stop taking the shot and let jesus take it Stop doing the driving. You're horrible at it. Let jesus let him lead. Why don't you follow? Get out the way That's how it works Get out of the way Otherwise fine keep falling off music keep falling keep falling Maybe one day you'll get it but right now right now I'm riding with him and I believe my best days are ahead of me So anyway The do not do not say why were the old days better than these for it is not wise to ask such a question. Amen Amen Uh Okay a Reframe this question. I don't know what which pastor talking where he says why is jesus being modest here Knowing that he is perfect and without saying. I'm not sure which pastor you're talking about. Oh, okay. Hold on and jesus said oh I see it. I should I should just kept reading and jesus said unto him. Why call us thou me good There is none good but one that is god So is jesus saying why are you calling me good? I'm not good That's not what jesus is saying jesus is saying Why are you calling me good? I'm adding Emphasis. Why are you calling me good? There's only one that's good. That's god the father. That's it So why are you calling me the same thing? Y'all see the point Why are you calling me what god is? Hmm Why are you saying what what why are you equating this attribute? With an attribute of god tell me And that's why we have these smart moderators because he is god. He's trying to get them to see it Sometimes you can make somebody learn a lesson better if you get them to say it themselves and that's what jesus was doing Oh, let's see Yeah, you know what's funny uh jeff i'm starting to feel it now I am starting to feel it now Let's see. Okay. I'm trying to figure out why my wife is talking to me live ask me why i'm live Okay, so what i'm doing, I got my eye on my wife right there behind me I got my eye on the camera got my eye on this screen on that screen on that screen on that screen on the chats And the scriptures and this right here She's made it more difficult for me. So let me just yes, baby Because I felt what she asked me why am I live? Why am I live? Why are you whispering? I mean because Why am I live? Because three days ago. I was supposed to do a q&a Wasn't feeling good wasn't feeling good yesterday the day before I was feeling good enough I did not want to just sit here. I was sick and tired of just sitting here Now with all this guilt. She's putting on me. I'm feeling worse Let me drink some coffee my wife getting on me. It's the pressure y'all. It's the pressure I was feeling good, but I guess all the talking is it I'm starting to feel it in my throat, but it's okay though It's okay Jesus's lord says what do you She's gonna she's gonna say something to me when I get off his live Uh first John 1 8 means what what does first John 1 8 mean because some people say they don't Okay, let me just go to which is what you just said first John 1 8, I think I just covered this the other day I think I did If we said that we have no sin we are deceiving ourselves and the truth is not in us Because that's the case one All of us sin all of us have sin And you can take this two ways those person that said they have no need of of christ because they they don't see him Well, they're lying and then even those who even after salvation because he's talking about us as believers This is what this is written to those as believers So his audience is intended to be believers or those who believe they're believers And so because of that because of that he's saying if you are If you say you don't have sin then you are a liar Which is the reason why he gives us an advocate for if you do sin And it's the point is that listen you ain't that great that's the point you you you do sin you do sin Am I still going to start a church? To the chagrin of some yes, I am To the chagrin of some yes, I am When not sure where not sure I will I will pretty much tell y'all this that uh, it is And let's see if this makes the local news It's probably it's gonna well Let's divide the pie in in three parts It's 45 45 percent 45 45 percent 45 percent the dfw area 45 percent the Indianapolis area 10 percent somewhere else Y'all check my math. That's 90 percent. Yeah 10 percent somewhere else now My thought is There's a lot of churches here in in the dfw area There are There are a lot of bad churches here, too I have a I have a belief But if you have a church Where you give the people the word Then I think you'll you'll get people to actually come to it And just because there are a lot of pagan temples Come to canada. I'm not listen. I'm not coming to canada. I think I go to china before I go to canada I'm kidding. You know what the problem can is because you it lulls you to sleep You think that you're in a in a place that seems like america and then you realize once you break a law, it's not but There's a lot of pagan temples here in in in the dfw area in texas period There are a lot of pagan temples a lot What I mean by that you you'll see a video on tomorrow Here in dallas And what there is like wow, but people are so it just what it really is is more club than anything else Under the guys of a church Under the guys of a church. It's like what what's going on here? And so That's one reason Plus my plus my babies are here My babies are here I think two of the babies will go with me two of the children will go with me, but the other two they they so Indianapolis is a Nice place It kind of reminds you of what dallas was two years back my office not not the same size Definitely not the same weather, but not a lot of churches Indianapolis indiana period is an un-churched place It's a it's a highly un-churched place and so That's why Truth be told in every city every state can use more Why did why did satan deceive eve and not adam? Why why is it called? That's a 64 thousand dollar question Adjusted for inflation. So it'd be 64 billion dollar question. Why is it called? Why is it said that? Adam Send but eve was deceived. They both did the exact same act Excuse me Getting all choked up The exact same act how could that be then? Here's how What is guys? What is the difference between? What adam did and what eve did? See anybody know Both knew both stated but it was told to both You should not eat or touch this fruit Well, what's the difference between adam sin and what eve did? Why is adam's called a sin to? Why is ease called a? um Her being deceived Said adam knew better both of them knew Both both knew as a matter of fact as a matter of fact The truth is eve articulated it even more so Eve articulated the question even more so she said we're not to eat it Nor should we touch it so she knew Well, here's it here's the issue And that also is the case to peach pie 41 like the name peach pie 41 one Adam was still the head We think he was although that had not been spelled out yet But more to the point Who was talking to eve the devil was talking to her and I was deceived There were no such words spoken to adam to give him the illusion that he so he knew full well There was no way that adam said well, you know, I kind of thought that no no no The devil didn't say it to him Eve was deceived because guess what get exactly right coco the deceiver was speaking to her So why was she deceived? Why is it said that she received because the great deceiver was speaking to her? The power of this deceiver is pretty pretty strong. Would you all who has succumbed? To the power of this great deceiver in their past at least one time in your life You have you have succumbed to his deception And several times you have Created your own deception And lied on the devil some Some of us lie on the devil the devil did it. No, you didn't you did it you did it poor devil You know what he's gonna have more false accusations against him than anybody in the history of the world But he's still but he's still a deceiver He told her did god really say that and no actually what's going to happen is But adam can't claim that Here adam take an eat. Okay That's why uh, let's see. Let's see a few more questions. I am starting to feel a little icky now But I was just in such a hurry to get back out here. I really was I told my wife. I said all I have to do Tony Knight said did you see my my cues Corey? So let me go to Tony Knight I told my wife said all I all I do my whole life Is just for the rest of my life. It is just the word of God That's it That's it. I enjoy it. I enjoy sitting and just do my studies I I I you know, I started I started going back over my Hebrew from the very beginning all over you just just to do it um Will The resurrection be before or after The mark of the beast being introduced to the society which resurrection There is going to be here. This is my take Tony This is my take without going through the bible. Just just make it quick My understanding is my belief is that there is going to be a rapture capturing up of um Saints Gentile believers and and Jewish believers whoever is a believer Before this tribulation During this tribulation, especially the at the three and a half year mark the last the latter part of the second half of the three and a half year part It's going to become this great tribulation The first half of the tribulation really isn't much of a tribulation really it But there's going to be this great tribulation in the middle of the seven and then At that time you're going to have this This mark had it now dying before then There's going to be a resurrection of the dead There's going to be a resurrect now everyone's going to be resurrected to it to a judgment But they're but so prior to this time if you die, you'll be brought up before him To go to hell or to go to heaven That's got to be a horrible trip though to think about to go to go before the lord knowing that he's going to dismiss you out of his presence That's going to be a horrible trip That's going to be a horrible trip Um, and by the way as to the timelines because we're going to try to we're going to lay out the timeline Hopefully um a little clearer this week Hopefully a little clearer this week Because I think honestly guys it lays itself out perfectly. I I really do I really think that it lays itself out perfectly rather than Reading doctrine as we read the scripture if we just read the scripture like we read everything else There is a timeline to how we're reading things anyway And just make things fit and so there cannot be any contradiction as well Keeping that in mind keeping in mind whatever prophecies were stated in the past so I think you heard you heard the dog somebody knocking the door and this dog the dog is about this big and she just She thinks she's a terror. She she's got a little bit of tiny teeth. I know because she's bitten me twice A little bit of tiny teeth and she can't you can't hurt anybody, but she is tough She listen she did go out on attack a pit bull Some guy was walking down the street and she burst out the door And she went out that pit bull and just bite on it and the pit bull She didn't hurt the pit bull, but she she's tough She can't hurt anybody and then the sweet dog. We got coconut. She's got these big old teeth and she won't bite anything So yeah, that's coconut. I mean that's rosy. You heard in the background. Okay. Let me take one last question Thank you. Coco appreciate that I thank you Monkey moves it Texans play next week Are women pastors saved or are they in unrepentant sin? Well, it could be either or Because a woman is a pastor does that mean that she's not saved notice that that's not what that means Um, she's out of order But does that necessarily mean that she's not saved there? I'd imagine there's some saved women who are pastors. They're just they're just Misguided, how do I know why would I say that because there are some people who were trying to operate in in spiritual gifts in Corinthian in first Corinthians 14 and Paul did not say that you guys aren't saved. He said since you have a zeal um And since you seek for the spiritual things Seek for those that build up the body He didn't say because you're out of order that you're going to hell So that could that could be the case I have an opportunity to go to harvard, but I feel so unmotivated. Well, I would say don't go if you're going to harvard Unmotivated at harvard. I don't I don't think that that would really go um I feel so unmotivated and apathetic about going the classes are so and oh, I see I see what you're saying Are so indoctrinated harvard has made me a reform saint is my apathy the result of that well If you feel like you can go to harvard and be a beacon there because there are some Christians at at harvard There are we know that for a fact Uh, the old one majority of people at harvard are not So you're gonna have a bunch of smart people Analytical people people who think they're smart who know they're smart. There's nothing wrong The worst smart person to plan is someone who knows they're smart And what I mean by that is like you can't I have no house Do you know my IQ is well? I got a high IQ too. I'm here at harvard, too so Uh, sometimes you have to use your your your brilliance Uh to your advantage turning around You're smart. I'm smart. So now listen to me smarty answer me this question And then just figure out a way to Present the scriptures in a way to certain people because guess what god loves them, too And so you would ask them Is it possible if it if it were possible? What would it look like? And they would have to say okay. Well, this is how god would do it if it were possible They're gonna because I promise you I promise you smart people Will tell you what they think god ought to do or should have done now They would also have to agree at some point in time after you take their their words under advisement They would also have to agree that they're not god I think they'd be able to figure that out pretty quickly Some maybe not But I'm not god, but now If god did do it this way What would cause us to believe that god because Surely since we're not god, we've never been god. We don't understand what it's like to be god because folks at harvard tend to understand Or over emphasize their privilege if you come across one of those folks who are just overly social conscious And they would understand that that their life is not indicative of everyone else's life That their life is different. So they can't judge someone else. Okay. We're fine. So we can't judge everybody else I'm different. You can't tell me how to feel. Let's say as a black person or as an asian person or as a white person or as a spanish person Well, then you can't tell god how to feel So now what would cause us to believe that god is god what would cause to believe that god is the god of the bible Because there's all the again. Are you gonna do just use rationale Rationalization just gonna you're gonna use your own logic What would cause us to think that the bible is a more preferred book than let's say In the Vedas than the Koran any other holy book. I say holy book What would cause us to believe take the bible over any other book There's a couple of things that I think would would do so Yes, the acceptance the wide acceptance of that book, but it could be hey, it's just because of those in power And they'll walk you they'll walk you their own trap that those in power Have have caused to be so but wait a second though Those in power did not believe in the bible. There was no bible as a matter of fact when christianity was formed So what do we do remember? At the time of the founding of this belief This was a belief that would get you killed matter of fact either burned at the stake or fed before the lions So what would cause The this little small community to keep growing Because either jesus dider he didn't And the best way to end a movement is the death of the person in charge of the movement, right david koresh dies. Guess what no more branched evidians Jim jones died. Well, that's the end of that cult The guy that sleep the heavens gate cult They died that's the end of the every time the leader of the cult dies The cult dies Now they would say well, what about mohammed? Well, we'll deal with mohammed in a second, but when jesus died He makes a claim That This logic defies. I mean it defies logic The first easter The first day that he the first sunday That he allegedly got up all you got to do is produce a body That's it produce the tune produce the grave But then why are these other folks going? To die because of a known lie, maybe not a maybe unknown lie, but a known lie Well, the same could be said for mohammed. Well, wait a second did mohammed Of course, we don't have a book by mohammed, but fine Let's just say the crown and the crown tell us to believe the book that jesus is fanged in And then that the only book here's the bigger issue Isn't that the only book on the planet with predictive prophecy that has come true 100% of the time so Mr. Mrs. Harvard person Wouldn't logic dictate that a book this accurate with all these prophecies wouldn't dictate that not just one prophet That just two prophets not just three prophets. That is four I just 10 that is 15 that is 30 prophecies But all these prophets keep coming through save those of the second coming wouldn't logic dictate that I would have to At least believe some of this stuff so But I would trust because you are you you you've got into harvard that you can formulate this stuff You can speak harvard ease All right less Okay, I'll answer your question. Ashley. Where is it? Where is it? Well, no, go on. You got okay. Actually, you got okay. You got 12 questions up here The one about Starting a business that is that coveting. No, that's a good thing to start a business That's a smart thing to do Um, all right, which one of these questions you want me to ask young lady? Which one of these questions you want me to ask to answer? Can the devil give us bad thoughts? He cannot give us bad thoughts first of all We struggle with bad thoughts Oh, that's the one you want to answer. Okay, now I gotta answer the third question Uh, he cannot give us bad thoughts, but he just speaks to us. He whispers He kind of helps us in the thoughts that we were probably going to be thinking anyway Ask eve So he can't like put in your mind, but he can whisper it He can bring others there Your cousin keeps showing up with with uh, some drugs and you know, you try to or this Other people He'll say have all the folks come your way These testing so, uh, how do I feel? How do I how do I feel okay in my own skin and not covet others race? um Example white race, okay This is a tough one This is definitely the last question because it's a tough one. It's not a tough one In that it's hard to answer Here in this country Let me kind of just say this and we I'm gonna try to say this and be out of here I might need to say this and be out of here. I might have to say this go take a break after I say this If you're not careful, you can be made to feel less than You can be made to feel less than by other people You can be made to feel less than by people who look like you That's gonna happen You can be made to feel guilty because of the actions of people who look like you So let's just keep it honest If you are black To some degree Hispanic in this country Now more and more if you're a white male You're being made to feel guilty, but if you're a white male you've been made to feel guilty because You haven't suffered or you haven't by and large had the same experience Which truth be told A white person can have the same or go through some of the same sufferings that a black person can they can A white person grew up in the house with no father Uh, a broken home or a home with drugs or violence would have you but If you're black you've been told that you are you have been disenfranchised Underprivileged and so forth you've been fed more than anybody else in the history Of the world as far as I can tell well, I shouldn't say that but in recent history You've been fed this this belief that You can't make it without some help What else a lie Others have been told that they they are expected to make it One group is told that I that I'm expected to make it because I'm white Blacks have been told you're not expected to make it because you're black Well, first of all, that's racist for anyone to tell somebody that You are expected to make it because you are a child of God And if he's for you, then he is more than the world against you But you're not expected to be able to get a identification You're not expected to be able to vote Without having someone telling you how to vote Um, you also have to deal with the stigma that comes as a result of what other blacks In different communities are doing somebody over here shooting up a whole community somebody black And because they're black and then the first white person the first other person looks at you Hey, you're black too It here's what you do You have to ignore all that stuff I said before man, if I was a I said it's kind of joking if there was an alien folks was talking about aliens If there's an alien that came in into this into this world and the alien was a shapeshifter And the alien had to be somebody Had to be black had to be white Had to be Hispanic had to be asian had to be middle eastern had to be male or female What would they be? Well, what that what that alien on that spaceship said, you know, I'm not gonna be I ain't gonna be a black man No, no, no, no, no, no, no, I do not want to target on my back and he's thinking it ain't gonna be from white person I'm gonna be from another black person If you could be because it's just a stigmatism that we have put on ourselves Tell the truth. Shame you devil. We have caused a lot of our own problems It just is what it is But it's not hopeless We could Any and everything that you want to do you can do You can be and do whatever it is that you want to be There's always going to be somebody. It's going to have something negative to say about you Somebody's gonna look bad at you for whatever reason Somebody black is going to get you crazy. Somebody black is going to think that you're not good You're not you're not smart. You're not pretty. You're not dark. You're not light enough Somebody why it's going to feel the same way somebody spanish one for the same way Somebody age is going to feel the same way somebody somewhere is going to feel something about you Why because that's what human beings do And if you go to another part of the country Another part of the world Somebody's going to feel the same way and they don't even look like you Somebody white somewhere. It's feeling the same way somebody Hispanic somewhere. It's feeling the same way Somebody mentally is feeling the same way but Why don't you do this Shine Because I can promise you this if people see the goodness in you and the greatness in you Then they'll judge you by that they won't even they want to equate you with anybody else So I just I it can be rough um You are you are you are young and so if you're not careful And the older people especially older black folks to tell you this Don't let people sell you the narrative that is bad out here for you You are 30 years younger than me I happen to know how old she is y'all 30 years younger than me you you are I think you would be my Fourth my fourth child fourth oldest You you're three years 34 years old my youngest so I remember Uh the 70s. I remember not getting to the Children's Museum in Indianapolis because I was black They look like he's in the okay fine It ain't it ain't like that anymore and my parents had it worse And then their parents had it worse Don't let people tell you that it's that bad out there because when it's not that bad when something Worse happens. They make it harder for you to cope But I wouldn't care what the situation was if if God is on your side. Well, then amen so The devil would like for you to feel bad about yourself the devil would like for you to think bad about yourself But who lives in you greater is he that's in you Then that devil that's in the world Amen So guys, I thank you so much I'm gonna go take me some medicine and drink me some coffee and then watch a movie I'm gonna eat something first and watch a movie and then apologize my wife for going on live when I told her I probably haven't gone on life She's are you on life?
