00:01:49.640 especially a christian teacher and pastor so me and top i was like it's an errand boy it means
00:01:54.880 you're an errand boy for the lord i've planted apollos water but god gave the increase right
00:02:00.160 these are great callings in human life but the life's in the seat no other man can lay any other
00:02:06.040 foundation and that foundation is jesus christ right now we're all going to build in god's
00:02:10.680 building here just keep in mind the foundation is christ if any man's work abides which he has
00:02:15.780 built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss,
00:02:22.640 but he himself shall be saved, yet so is by fire.

00:03:25.640 banging on the door how do we give you money how do we support you dude not just those people but
00:03:29.540 the sponsors i can't believe i know i'm just constantly going back and forth with the sponsors
00:03:33.580 nicotine nicotine toothpicks why not all right nootropic toothpicks i mean that would be a weird
00:03:40.380 absorption method though you're like i guess they're not really for getting between your
00:03:43.980 teeth though it's just for like just suck on it in there yeah people who have an oral fixation 0.97
00:03:48.380 that feels weird homosexuals and the like this is a show that's going on your uh channel so i have 0.99
00:03:52.720 to yeah we'll be cool we'll be cool all right let's go right into one corinthians three we 0.73
00:03:56.420 want to let's do that so um so uh one corinthians chapter three we're on episode four but it's
00:04:02.860 chapter three we're starting in verse one we kind of wrapped up last week with uh talking about
00:04:07.280 comparing spiritual things with spiritual that you got to get some puzzle pieces together to
00:04:11.240 start comparing spiritual things with spiritual you got to know some bible passages and kind of
00:04:15.520 get some context for god so you can start fitting them together right kind of ended with that man
00:04:20.820 the spiritual man he's not really understood by the natural world man they just can't get it yeah
00:04:25.360 that's actually something ever since we have started this series that has been and i know
00:04:29.840 it's like when you drive a car and you see the car everywhere that kind of a deal when you're in this
00:04:33.900 particular theme in the Bible. It's one that I see, you know, what do you mean? I just see it
00:04:39.180 in the real world. I see it constantly. You know, it's like there was a time where, especially when
00:04:44.240 I first started doing Nephilim Death Squad, I would try to tell people, hey, biblical worldview
00:04:50.340 makes a lot of sense of the conspiratorial world. The conspiratorial world is filled with a lot of
00:04:54.760 people who are hung up on their own wisdom and intellect. And I would kind of come up against a
00:04:59.760 brick wall because well i would say because people thought the bible was antiquated and it was a
00:05:05.800 control mechanism really the bible nails it when it says the wisdom of god is foolishness to men
00:05:11.260 right to the wisdom of men so that's mostly what it is and so these days i've i've stopped doing
00:05:17.000 that you don't have a conversation that's fine i'm not going to try to go hey yeah you really
00:05:20.960 should be looking at this through the biblical lens and i find that if you even try that you're
00:05:25.620 just coming up against the wisdom of men yeah that's a weird one where they say it's like a
00:05:29.580 control mechanism because it's like it's the exact opposite of a control mechanism if you read it
00:05:34.760 yeah to the person who reads it nothing controls them now yeah it actually tells you to not be of
00:05:41.640 the world it's the world that's trying to control you right so if you have any of these giant
00:05:45.920 institutions or governmental bodies throughout the ages that have been trying to control the
00:05:49.760 masses it's but including religious institutions because i think that's their argument is like oh
00:05:54.600 you're controlled now by these religious institutions it's like yeah but if you read
00:05:57.700 the book you're definitely not coming under the sway of religious institutions you're aware of
00:06:02.400 the dangers of those man-made institutions just like you're aware of the dangers of the world
00:06:06.880 and those governmental systems and all those other things and like you're the last person that's like
00:06:11.020 controlled yeah i um i kind of see that even before i i was as far along in my world which
00:06:20.200 is not very far but in the grand scheme of things much further than i used to be
00:06:23.040 in my understanding of scripture um i i assumed that if you could use it to control the masses
00:06:30.580 it's because there was something really important about it right like the fact that you could
00:06:35.380 leverage they do they do yeah that's what i'm saying it's like they do but that's not the
00:06:39.500 people who are locked into the word of god right right can't be controlled by those masses but
00:06:43.560 that was just my thinking i was like if if this at all can be this great you know uh weapon for
00:06:50.360 good or evil it's probably because it's very effective and there's something really important
00:06:55.120 about it yeah there's got to be something there or else it wouldn't be effective you're not going
00:06:58.260 to do that with a coloring book but i think that's what it is this man's aware of his guilt and his
00:07:02.520 sin right just like what the guy stands with the sign begging for money yeah yeah people give the
00:07:06.860 money like why do people do that because they're aware of this like guilt thing yeah and it's sin
00:07:11.420 is the guilt is ultimately the guilt thing you were asking about that today though why was that
00:07:15.060 you said you wanted cards yeah i just had a thing for um there's an outreach that's going on at
00:07:19.600 thanksgiving that they could really use the um yeah we got rid of all those cards we we actually
00:07:24.460 so um i guess that's an update for the people who donated all those months ago every single
00:07:30.360 dollar has been allocated to a personal like a homeless person with a face not just some
00:07:35.500 organization that we donated to or anything like that uh these are actually people that we
00:07:40.120 saw and in some cases touched which was you know um it's a decision yeah that i mean okay so let's
00:07:46.960 get let's get into this why is this so tiny on the screen it should be bigger i feel like but
00:07:50.340 it's always like that there's no way i'm reading now if i make it bigger you can read it but you're
00:07:53.820 gonna read from the book can people read if they're like watching that on tv uh on tv most
00:07:57.880 certainly because it wouldn't take up uh one tenth of their screen like we have it situated here
00:08:02.340 yeah yeah it's interesting people seem to have like they're having a conversation about the
00:08:08.140 the toothpicks yeah actually uh we were talking about doing something else too like a sort of a
00:08:13.780 nootropic powder death squad energy uh that's actually in the works uh the ones that we like
00:08:19.740 before shows would be the ones that would be cool well stuff that i specifically would use this
00:08:24.060 there's two points to it it's a drink mix one of them is the nootropic factor the other one is a
00:08:28.460 hydration factor i learned once upon a time that in order to recover from hangovers potassium is
00:08:33.180 what gets depleted so potassium is what you want and then magnesium also helps hydration a ton
00:08:38.360 so that's like classic electrolytes yeah exactly that's coconut water though dude it's like well
00:08:42.800 that's what we're going to do except it's not going to taste like a coconut spit in your mouth
00:08:45.980 it's going to taste like something cooler but also there's going to be a nootropic angle in it too
00:08:49.900 shout out little palm i know everybody in the chat i do i like them yeah they're good i've been
00:08:54.180 drinking them after workouts and it helps a lot uh especially what little headache you might have
00:08:58.460 from going hard a lot of discussions about the zins and the on and people people like it nicotine
00:09:04.240 uh pouch options man yeah i i don't um like nicotine i've tried it several times yeah it
00:09:10.480 just does not mesh well with you'd be a nicotine liker dude it doesn't it doesn't go well with me
00:09:15.360 um stomach issues i bet uh stomach issues yeah yeah that was really a stomach issues i didn't
00:09:21.500 like it i did the pouches i've tried cigarettes never did anything for me i hear a lot of uh
00:09:26.280 potential benefits not even not even just uh cognitive function wise but in testosterone
00:09:30.920 boosting qualities apparently nicotine has some studies backing it that suggests that that's the
00:09:34.980 case but i just can't do it so i like whatever the ingredients are that are going like some of
00:09:40.960 the mushroom things like lion's mane and things like that those actually seem to work really well
00:09:45.380 for me that and being well hydrated people like sleep on that you think your brain's not working
00:09:51.140 well because of x y and z try drinking water salt man yeah water and salt potassium magnesium calcium
00:09:57.900 even yeah and then anything like um any of like aquaman or any of these things that carry like
00:10:03.300 the 70 trace minerals or even some of the salts just yeah 70 trace yeah because if you're just
00:10:07.180 doing water without that salt it just runs right through you so you're never really hydrated and
00:10:11.680 in fact your your body starts to dump water if there's an excess of it so then you get into this
00:10:15.960 this is what we used to do for cutting weight for boxing like there's health benefits to it but
00:10:19.460 that's not going to be rehydration right you're just pissing it right out right right right yeah
00:10:23.060 it might do a little detox for you or something like that but not uh all right we're back in one
00:10:26.660 let's go chapter three verse one and i brethren remember it's paul speaking again could not speak
00:10:31.700 unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ, right? So he's
00:10:36.920 already been talking to them about spiritual life, the carnal life. And he's saying, I can't
00:10:43.640 even talk to you as spiritual, but I have to talk to you as a carnal, into like a fleshly nature.
00:10:48.300 These two things are opposite. I fed you with milk and not with meat. For hitherto you were
00:10:53.680 not able to bear it. Neither yet now are you able. For you are yet carnal. For whereas there is among
00:11:00.500 you envying and strife and divisions are you not carnal and walk as men this was cool this is what
00:11:05.900 we unpacked last episode where it's like what he's doing is giving you a definition for carnal
00:11:09.900 right division yeah and being strife um are you not carnal if these are the things that you're
00:11:16.680 displaying so uh that's really interesting but it's intriguing he's almost like a
00:11:21.260 he's almost like a doctor here dude some would say you know he he went with luke right like he
00:11:26.400 like he traveled with Luke and certainly Luke was like learning from Paul.
00:11:29.940 Maybe Paul was learning from Luke to the physician.
00:11:32.440 And so he's got like this diagnosis,
00:11:34.260 like with the symptoms and then he comes with the remedy too,
00:11:37.120 though.
00:11:37.340 We'll go through verse eight.
00:11:38.580 We'll read through verse eight.
00:11:39.220 Okay.
00:11:39.640 For one sayeth,
00:11:40.420 I'm of Paul and another I'm of,
00:11:42.020 I'm of Apollos.
00:11:43.520 Are you not carnal?
00:11:44.920 Who then is Paul and who is Apollos,
00:11:46.480 but ministers by whom you believe,
00:11:48.680 even as the Lord gave to every man,
00:11:50.660 I have planted Apollos watered,
00:11:52.460 but God gave the increase.
00:11:53.980 So then neither is he that plants anything.
00:11:56.020 neither he that waters, but God that gives the increase.

00:13:37.300 Because we are laborers together with God.
00:13:40.080 You are God's husbandry.
00:13:41.780 You are God's building.
00:13:43.700 Interesting.
00:13:44.260 This actually came up online recently where somebody said,
00:13:46.480 do you get mad, not to me, but they said,
00:13:48.700 do you get mad when you give money to a homeless person
00:13:52.200 and they spend it on drugs and everything.
00:13:53.680 And I said, no, it's my job to plant a seed.
00:13:57.280 God determines whether or not it grows, right?
00:13:59.280 So like you give something to a person
00:14:02.180 and they go off and do not what you had hoped with it,
00:14:04.700 but you have no idea what God is now doing in their life
00:14:08.000 and what this moment means extrapolated.
00:14:10.620 And I know you don't like the homeless people
00:14:11.800 and giving them money.
00:14:12.340 I can see it on your face,
00:14:13.080 but I don't know what's going on beyond that point.
00:14:16.860 You know, so if they go straight to the thing
00:14:18.060 and they buy a 40 with it, like, so be it.
00:14:20.200 I don't even know if God is putting someone in their way at the liquor store
00:14:24.620 that they would not have met had I not given them the money to go and buy the
00:14:27.500 fort. You know what I mean? So it's like, there's all sorts of things.
00:14:30.120 I just plant the seed. God determines whether or not it grows.
00:14:32.700 But that watering thing, that labor is interesting.
00:14:36.740 Yeah.
00:14:39.800 I'm just listening to you with the homeless people.
00:14:43.220 Well, because I'm wondering if I'm doing any laboring.
00:14:46.500 I don't know if I'm giving them the money.
00:14:49.280 I mean, I don't know.
00:14:51.040 I don't think that's the context here.
00:14:52.280 I think the context here is like, you know, whatever they're doing within the church, right?
00:14:57.440 Like Paul, Peter, and Apollos had all obviously been in the Corinthian church and were probably not just – definitely not giving them money and saying go buy 40s.
00:15:07.760 They were in there like preaching the gospel.
00:15:09.840 Sure, sure, sure.
00:15:10.200 They were explaining the word of God.
00:15:11.200 They were expounding on the scriptures.
00:15:12.660 They were praying with them.
00:15:13.660 they were even potentially um uh instilling spiritual gifts on them or showing them how
00:15:19.500 to operate in spiritual gifts and that day in tongues yeah doing the shaking maybe not that
00:15:24.860 part but uh but all of these things right those things and those things they're watering and
00:15:29.560 planting i'm not saying it's not nice to give homeless people money like it's whatever maybe
00:15:34.040 i just misunderstood no no it's okay but let's go back a little bit we got to go back let's start
00:15:37.820 away so remember we said like in the very beginning that he said i'm with the brother
00:15:41.500 sosthenes yeah yeah yeah i'm with the brother like i'm gonna say some cutting slicing things
00:15:46.400 he does that here too he says i brethren okay where wait where is this at verse one verse
00:15:51.120 chapter three verse one and i brethren just so we're all on the same page here because i'm about
00:15:55.220 to cut you we're all brothers yeah we're family with the a yeah yeah brother okay i could not
00:16:01.940 speak unto you as unto spiritual but as unto carnal even as unto babes in christ okay now
00:16:07.460 there's that's like a positive and a negative he's like he just called them babies yeah but
00:16:12.400 they're alive and they're in christ which is great so as if to say you know born again you're you
00:16:18.060 know you're born again you're alive you're in christ i'm not saying you're not born an adult
00:16:21.960 though right right you guys are born again but you're babies right you're you haven't come along
00:16:27.840 the journey far enough okay and the whole context of that uh and and that why he's got to feed him
00:16:32.760 milk and stuff is because you're carnal you're still obeying the lust of the flesh we should
00:16:37.480 probably look at some of these things what do we what do we have can you pull up romans uh
00:16:41.000 in the uh i wonder if there's a way for us to be able to see that why is that only well i mean
00:16:45.400 it's fine because you've been reading for your dude i don't know stream yard is very frustrating
00:16:49.160 when it comes to this uh yeah you can't make it big like this i know but then we can't see the
00:16:52.920 chat so that's right uh roman what uh romans eight let's just go if you just type in romans eight and
00:16:59.000 And then scroll down to verse five, eight, eight.
00:17:03.160 It was a classic chapter to Romans eight's a banger.
00:17:05.720 So what's it say in five and six?
00:17:08.120 Okay. 0.97
00:17:08.600 So for they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh,
00:17:12.640 but they that are after the spirit, the things of the spirit for to be
00:17:16.120 carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.
00:17:21.260 That's what he's saying.
00:17:21.740 Like carnal would be the same as like, uh,
00:17:24.660 what are you saying here to, to mind the things of the flesh, right?
00:17:27.580 Since you guys are dividing, we already unpacked all that.
00:17:30.500 I'm in this clique that follows Peter.
00:17:32.480 I'm in this clique that follows Paul.
00:17:33.860 I'm in this clique that follows Apollo.
00:17:35.240 As long as you're doing that, you're in the flesh.
00:17:37.860 And that's a path to death, right?
00:17:39.880 To be spiritually minded is life and peace.
00:17:42.300 And that's what I'm calling you guys to.
00:17:43.940 That's why I can feed you with milk. 0.99
00:17:45.480 You guys are on the boob right now. 1.00
00:17:46.760 Like, I'll give you the milk.
00:17:48.060 But at some point, you got to get going.
00:17:50.700 You got to get going.
00:17:51.660 We can see some other ones, like Galatians 5.
00:17:53.920 Sure.
00:17:54.700 Galatians 5.
00:17:55.840 Galatians 5.
00:17:56.640 And then if we scroll down to verse 16, there's a lot of passages that say this same kind of thing.
00:18:01.840 16, this I say, then walk in the spirit and ye shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh.
00:18:10.560 Oh, that's very similar.
00:18:11.840 Yeah.
00:18:12.320 Yeah.
00:18:12.520 So it's just for the lust or for the flesh lust against the spirit and the spirit against the flesh.
00:18:17.780 And these things are contrary to one another so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.
00:18:23.720 So I think that people think a lot of times they're spiritual when they get in these cliques, when they get in these denominations.
00:18:29.260 They're saying, I'm spiritual.
00:18:30.340 Yeah, man, because I'm getting in this camp and I'm talking about spiritual things.
00:18:34.000 Like, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:18:34.440 But when you get in those cliques that are divisive and there's quarreling among people because of it and it destroys the witness of the church because of that, no, you're not spiritual.
00:18:42.800 Even though you may be talking about spiritual things, you're carnal.
00:18:46.600 You're going after the things of the flesh, this divisiveness over camps and cliques.

00:20:24.920 This idea of desires of the flesh, right?
00:20:27.260 So when Paul's talking about carnal, it seems like a category,
00:20:30.740 and he's talking about division mostly.
00:20:33.260 But then it is also cardinal because I can see here,
00:20:37.160 like the flesh lusteth against the spirit.
00:20:39.940 So we're talking about the lust of the flesh or the desires of the flesh,
00:20:43.220 which is something else that we're cautioned against.
00:20:45.200 So carnal was like a great big category
00:20:46.920 because desires of the flesh, I mean, sure,
00:20:51.120 maybe there's ways you can connect that to division,
00:20:53.540 but it's like gluttony, sloth, envy, right?
00:20:56.320 Like these things that are generated by the meat man.
00:21:00.560 Yeah, sure.
00:21:01.120 All of those things for sure.
00:21:02.620 But I think some people would think,
00:21:04.280 no, just dividing into a clique isn't carnal.
00:21:06.760 He says, yeah, it is.
00:21:08.340 And it's actually not just not spiritual.
00:21:13.420 It's warring against the spirit.
00:21:15.420 You're having to pick,
00:21:16.540 And that's what you're picking, even though it's like wearing church clothes or talking about spiritual things.
00:21:24.020 As you go into these cliques and divide over it and destroy the witness of the church, it's carnal.
00:21:29.520 It's interesting because he talks about the wisdom of words making the gospel of none effect.
00:21:35.340 But then he's also saying that the desires of flesh or the carnal nature of flesh is in opposition and destroys the witness of the church.
00:21:44.860 So it's like your wisdom of words makes it of none effect.
00:21:48.080 If you're carnal and you're spreading division, it destroys the witness of the church, which
00:21:52.620 makes it of none effect, right?
00:21:54.040 And I think the context is that they're dividing over the wisdom of words.
00:21:58.540 That like Peter had a certain message, Paul had a certain message, Apollos had a certain
00:22:03.440 message, and not that any of those messages were wrong, but when you started to corral
00:22:07.320 around what that guy emphasized or this guy emphasized or that guy emphasized, and you
00:22:12.460 do it to the point, well, that's cool.
00:22:13.900 Even that's cool.
00:22:14.860 But when you do it to the point where it causes division and quarreling, the church has lost its way, man.
00:22:20.600 It's lost its witness.
00:22:21.840 And that's what this is.
00:22:23.100 Very consistent.
00:22:24.400 Very consistent.
00:22:26.000 All right.
00:22:26.500 Are we going back to Corinthians?
00:22:27.740 Yeah.
00:22:28.100 You know, let's look at Acts 18.
00:22:29.980 And then I don't think we want to keep pulling stuff up.
00:22:32.200 But if you pull up Acts 18 and we look at verses 1 through 11, I think we have to look at this whole letter in light of this.
00:22:38.400 You said 1 through 11.
00:22:39.700 All right.
00:22:39.980 We're going.
00:22:40.460 We're going to Acts 18.
00:22:41.820 OK, you got it.
00:22:42.560 You want to read it?
00:22:43.120 uh after these things paul departed from athens and came to corinth all right so here's the story
00:22:48.300 of paul when he goes to corinth okay uh and found a certain jew named aquila born in pontus lately
00:22:54.800 come from italy with his wife priscilla because that claudius had commanded all jews to depart
00:23:01.380 from rome okay so that's why they're leaving and going to you're just gonna brush past that 0.75
00:23:06.280 claudius had uh commanded all jews to depart from rome it's probably one of the first places they
00:23:10.480 were kicked out of out of the 109 first man i think it's like it's all but are we up there are
00:23:14.900 we like at number 30 is this number 30 that wild dude all the jews got kicked out of rome that's 0.67
00:23:19.320 funny it's just super consistent you know we talk about this a lot um scripture nailing the nature 0.93
00:23:26.060 of human beings nailing the nature of the jews the jews aren't doing anything that's any different 1.00
00:23:31.840 from what they were doing in scripture um it's very funny people like the jews are bad i'm like 1.00
00:23:36.380 yeah read the whole bible they were kicked out of they were commanded to depart from rome and 1.00
00:23:42.360 came unto them uh and because he was of the same craft he abode with them the same craft same job
00:23:48.780 career gotcha they had the same trade all right and uh and wrought for by their occupation they
00:23:54.180 were tent makers that's what he did he was a tent maker okay yeah and you hear the people say oh
00:23:58.200 that word means uh prayer shawl i don't i don't know i've actually never researched that you hear
00:24:02.460 people don't i've never heard of yeah like they're making prayer shawls that you pray under oh tent
00:24:06.760 makers yeah but i don't know it seems like you you know making a tent would be pretty uh pretty
00:24:12.300 good occupation back in the day yeah you know because a lot of people lived in them home builder
00:24:16.700 right effectively general contractor of that day if you will um and he reasoned with the synagogue
00:24:21.560 every sabbath and persuaded the jews and the greeks so he's so he's into city of corinth he's going in
00:24:27.280 the synagogues he's trying to expand their their minds a little bit trying to say oh look we have
00:24:32.220 this whole story we have the entire old testament we have the law the prophets the wisdom books
00:24:36.560 they all prophesy of this messiah right i'm telling you this is the one it's jesus
00:24:40.980 okay so everybody's kind of they're like okay all right we're listening uh and when silas and
00:24:46.700 silas silas and timothy's i liked i never considered i never considered timothy could
00:24:53.940 also be timothy i never read it like that i was just reading timothy but it says timothy's 0.88
00:24:58.400 Fucking Timotheus Albarino over here. 0.51
00:25:00.780 So Silas and Timotheus were come from Macedonia. 0.99
00:25:04.920 Paul was pressed in the spirit.
00:25:07.520 That's interesting.
00:25:08.180 Pressed is like a kind of like slang.
00:25:11.120 You wouldn't like if you press somebody.
00:25:12.780 Just we'll just pressure me.
00:25:13.940 Yeah.
00:25:14.140 Yeah.
00:25:14.600 Pressure, man.
00:25:15.340 It's fascinating to see that thing.
00:25:16.980 You know, he needed a release, man.
00:25:18.660 Yeah.
00:25:18.900 Yeah.
00:25:19.640 But to say like I felt pressed is like almost slang nowadays.
00:25:23.120 It's interesting that that is still applicable all these years ago.
00:25:26.000 Like full court press when you're playing basketball.
00:25:27.880 Similar.
00:25:28.200 Yeah. 0.76
00:25:28.400 Paul was pressed in the spirit and testified to the Jews that Jesus was Christ. 0.60
00:25:32.800 So he's like being pressed in the spirit.
00:25:35.260 There's this pressure. 0.96
00:25:35.940 He's got to tell the Jews, man, Jesus is Christ.
00:25:38.520 Like we're all having fellowship.
00:25:39.720 We're having a good time talking about Elijah.
00:25:41.080 But you got to know.
00:25:42.240 Yeah, you got to know this.
00:25:45.420 Excuse me.
00:25:47.880 And when they opposed themselves and blasphemed, he shook his raiment.
00:25:53.720 Raiment?
00:25:54.240 Yeah, his clothes.
00:25:55.280 Okay.
00:25:55.500 and said unto them your blood be upon your own heads i am clean from henceforth i will go unto 1.00
00:26:01.420 the gentiles so in other words like dusting your yes and leave yes you jews don't want to hear it 0.97
00:26:07.340 the jews in the city of corinth but i'm good because i said it the yeah the blood and this 0.99
00:26:12.020 is the thing that's a common thing man like the blood's on your hands now though yeah like i like 0.97
00:26:16.360 i've told you yeah i've given you this you've received the gospel i never told you that's on
00:26:20.560 me yeah but if i've told you and you shun this and you not only shun it but you want me out of here
00:26:25.820 yeah watch how wild they get okay that's another thing that's very consistent right where it's like
00:26:30.760 i've told you you've received the gospel i'm now dusting off my my my feet and going and your
00:26:35.340 blood's on your own hands and it's on your okay i am clean from henceforth i will go unto the
00:26:39.300 gentiles so now he's going to go preach to the gentiles let's see what happens um and he departed
00:26:44.140 thence and entered into a certain man's house we're saying man and fancy because it's in italics
00:26:49.040 entered into a certain man's house named Justice,
00:26:52.800 one that worshipped God whose house joined hard to the synagogue.
00:26:56.720 Okay.
00:26:57.180 So I guess it was a day where, like, all the houses are connected to each other
00:27:00.080 and his house is, like, tight close to the synagogue,
00:27:02.680 like, touching the synagogue.
00:27:03.540 Oh, okay, interesting.
00:27:04.660 So a proximity thing.
00:27:06.480 I think it means that.
00:27:07.460 I wouldn't read it a different way.
00:27:09.520 And Crispus, which is a fun name,
00:27:11.440 the chief ruler of the synagogue, believed on the—
00:27:13.540 Kind of reminds you of that cereal that's, like,
00:27:14.820 light on one side and dark on the other.
00:27:16.340 Yeah. 0.99
00:27:17.500 Damn, I forget what those things are called. 0.99
00:27:18.740 now crispex yeah that's crispex right they were light on one side and dark i know what you're 0.98
00:27:23.760 talking about yeah not very good didn't taste like anything yeah uh the chief ruler of the
00:27:27.860 synagogue believed on the lord with all his house and many of the corinthians hearing believed and
00:27:33.920 were baptized sick uh then spake the lord to paul in the night by a vision be not afraid but speak 0.66
00:27:41.440 and hold not thy peace okay so you know he's got this tension with the jews he's like maybe i'll
00:27:47.380 just ease up and god has to come to him in a dream and say specifically be not afraid but speak
00:27:52.880 and hold not thy peace yes okay so uh for i am with thee and no man shall set on thee to hurt
00:28:00.200 thee for i have much people in this city that's the big part so in all of this in this corinthian
00:28:07.400 letter we've got to keep in mind god says he has much people in this city okay so so nobody knows 0.92
00:28:14.120 gonna happen to paul because all the homies are there well i think he has to say uh nothing will 0.79
00:28:19.940 happen in well yeah yeah but specifically no man shall set on thee to hurt thee yeah so like a lot
00:28:27.440 of stuff right this is where it's like chaos around you for him arrows falling around you
00:28:32.080 none shall touch you but god's got him okay cool um and he continued there a year and six months
00:28:38.340 teaching the word of God among them.
00:28:40.880 And when Galio was the deputy of Acha, Acha, Acha, Acha, Acha, Acha, Acha, Acha, Acha. 0.89
00:28:46.600 The Jews made insurrection with one accord against Paul. 0.57
00:28:48.160 That is not the word, Acha.
00:28:49.740 And brought him to the judge.
00:28:50.820 That's how I sound about it.
00:28:51.760 Acha.
00:28:52.420 And brought him to the judgment seat.
00:28:54.340 All right.
00:28:54.760 All right. 0.98
00:28:55.040 We weren't even going to get into all that, but this is where the Jews go after him. 0.98
00:28:58.400 Paul? 0.99
00:28:58.960 Yeah.
00:28:59.380 But nothing's going to hurt him.
00:29:00.840 Well, again, I mean, you got to define hurt, I suppose.
00:29:03.480 Well, within this context of no man shall set on thee to hurt thee.
00:29:07.020 So no man is going to hurt Paul.
00:29:08.660 Yeah.
00:29:10.460 So saying this fellow persuadeth men to worship God contrary to the law.
00:29:14.900 Okay, are we getting into this?
00:29:16.060 I was just going to go through 11, but I don't mind going into this. 1.00
00:29:18.880 The Jews do this, do they? 0.99
00:29:20.340 Oh, yeah, it's a cool little story. 0.98
00:29:22.160 Yeah, he's doing it again.
00:29:23.280 No, no, get out of here.
00:29:24.180 Yeah, yeah. 0.98
00:29:24.480 Then they hear that this is for the Gentiles, and now they're hostile. 0.97
00:29:27.800 Yeah. 1.00
00:29:27.980 Now they want to kill you. 1.00
00:29:29.060 Okay. 0.99
00:29:29.640 And when Paul was now about to open his mouth,
00:29:32.460 So Galio said unto the Jews, if it were a matter of wrong or wicked lewdness, 1.00
00:29:37.500 O ye Jews, reason would that I should bear with you. 1.00
00:29:41.520 Yeah, this guy broke the law. 1.00
00:29:42.500 Like if this is stuff about them breaking the law,
00:29:45.000 okay, tell me what Paul's done to break the law.
00:29:47.180 Okay, okay.
00:29:47.920 But if this is just a question of words and names out of your law,
00:29:51.760 then you guys deal with it.
00:29:53.480 This is similar.
00:29:54.940 This is very similar to the persecution of Christ, right?
00:29:56.900 Where they're trying to get the guard to persecute,
00:30:00.540 and they're like, this is—
00:30:01.420 Or they take him to Pontius Pilate.
00:30:02.860 Right, right, right, right. 1.00
00:30:03.640 We need you to kill him. 1.00
00:30:04.600 Right, exactly. 1.00
00:30:05.340 So they're supposed to be this religious institution that represents God that's like, should be the strongest power on earth.
00:30:11.000 Maybe not worldly power, but the strongest power on earth would be those in covenant with God.
00:30:15.640 And they go to the world.
00:30:16.860 It's interesting because you have like this duality within the Jews of the Bible where you have like, you know, King David warring. 0.61
00:30:26.000 Obviously with the Bathsheba thing, he doesn't go to war in that instance.
00:30:28.960 But there's a lot of battles that he engages in. 0.99
00:30:31.280 And then there's this other type of kind of Jew, you know, Pharisee that seems to be trying to get others to do their dirty work. 0.98
00:30:40.080 And you see that on the world stage today, right? 0.99
00:30:42.540 You talk about it's no different than the Bible, where like Israel is using America in this instance.
00:30:49.180 This is how most people interpret it.
00:30:50.380 And I would say it's fair as they're attacked on, right?
00:30:53.620 Like you do our dirty work.
00:30:55.320 That is an intriguing take.
00:30:56.300 It's like, yeah, if Israel is this nation supported by God, why would they run to America to do—
00:31:04.080 Yeah, they're trying to get them to, you know, go to war with Iran. 0.99
00:31:06.600 And it's an honest question. Why?
00:31:09.000 But it's similar. It's very similar to this situation where it's not like, you know, kings of old where they're going to war with one another.
00:31:16.120 It's like this subversive, sneaky Pharisee sort of angle where you're trying to get America—
00:31:21.580 Get Pilate to do the dirty work.
00:31:22.640 Exactly.
00:31:23.040 Or in this case, get this guy to do the dirty work.
00:31:25.460 Yes, yes.
00:31:26.020 Or in this case, get America.
00:31:27.920 And sometimes the guy from the outside says, no, no, no, this is your guy's quarrel.
00:31:31.100 You deal with it.
00:31:31.640 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:31:32.920 Okay.
00:31:33.520 So do we want to keep going or do we want to go back to-
00:31:35.620 No, no, no.
00:31:35.840 We went far enough.
00:31:36.520 I just want to make the point that God has many people in the city.
00:31:39.380 And that's why this is such a big deal to Paul.
00:31:41.800 He's had this vision that God has many people in this city.

00:33:19.000 and they're quarreling and fighting 0.98
00:33:20.180 and they're babes
00:33:20.820 and they're not maturing.
00:33:21.820 They're babies.
00:33:22.420 Okay.
00:33:23.160 And that's destroying this outreach,
00:33:25.680 if you will,
00:33:26.480 to the many people in the city
00:33:27.740 that God has, right? 1.00
00:33:28.660 Oh, there we go, Qui-Gon. 0.99
00:33:29.820 Qui-Gon, I couldn't even see that.
00:33:31.080 We had some parallel thinking. 0.58
00:33:32.540 We had it on big screen,
00:33:33.820 so I couldn't see the chat.
00:33:35.000 But Qui-Gon said the same thing.
00:33:36.540 He knows what's up. 0.98
00:33:37.240 That's how Israel uses the U.S. 1.00
00:33:40.280 So good call, Qui-Gon. 1.00
00:33:41.780 We'd be thinking the same shit. 1.00
00:33:43.240 Okay, so let's go back. 0.99
00:33:45.000 We were in 1 Corinthians 3.
00:33:47.580 What now?
00:33:48.100 do we want to jump ahead to eight no no dude we're still unpacking this what are you talking
00:33:52.360 about okay okay all right uh okay so so yeah so i fed you with milk not with meat like you guys
00:33:57.780 are babies you weren't able to bear it okay so there's something in like strong spiritual meat
00:34:02.880 that people can't bear that's interesting they can't they can't take it dude like it's a lot
00:34:07.340 that's a lot right like you wonder is this the state of the modern 501c3 system today is like
00:34:12.580 a lot of the people it is very surface level preaching yeah it's it's just unfortunate because
00:34:17.800 like i've been uh like in leadership meetings where they're saying we can't go any deeper than
00:34:22.400 this the people don't want anything deeper than that and then you're with the common people and
00:34:26.100 they're saying why are they preaching so shallow why don't they preach deeper and there it's this
00:34:30.540 there is this weird disconnect today man i wonder what those things would be though like what things
00:34:35.720 are people that are similar to the corinthians in this instant unable to bear sacrifice of self
00:34:44.900 sacrifice of your own life that oh that's always the issue man like pick up your cross and follow
00:34:50.320 me um then then well and then it gets a little squirrely too because then you'd have to get into
00:34:56.920 like the dangers of money like this this last uh straight bible we just wrapped up like all the
00:35:01.460 dangers of money and pursuing money and wealth you should be teaching that to the people but
00:35:05.680 then the people might look at you and say well you're sure taking in a lot of money like i know
00:35:09.100 people who have said that who have been at a local church here that's begging for a lot of money yeah
00:35:14.440 like millions of dollars to build a giant building you hear that one where the guy goes uh somebody
00:35:19.280 in here has uh i don't like x amount like ten thousand dollars nobody's leaving until and then
00:35:25.640 they lock the doors and they go nobody's leaving until the holy spirit is telling me that somebody
00:35:31.020 in here has twenty thousand dollars well my my friend was saying yeah this local church was
00:35:35.720 saying like you know to some extent of like have reckless faith about this yeah which oddly enough
00:35:41.900 i like that phrase reckless faith but not but not in regards to that not in regards to just
00:35:46.240 you know manipulating people but saying don't worry about your budget you may think you don't
00:35:51.140 have enough give it anyway and this guy is just a very uh my friend is just very down to earth
00:35:57.220 very logical he's like well you guys are on a budget like that's what we're doing here you're
00:36:02.380 creating a budget yeah yeah you're telling me not to worry about my budget so i don't i don't know
00:36:08.280 there's many things that could be talked about from the pulpit but it's just going to be too much
00:36:12.280 for i wonder in this particular instance it probably was a money thing or something like
00:36:15.680 that but what was what would he have said to them if they could bear it i wonder good question i
00:36:22.300 think he'll answer that as time goes on okay he sort of starts to unpack it a little bit here
00:36:27.480 but okay for hitherto you were not able to bear it neither yet neither yet now are you able okay
00:36:35.240 for you are yet carnal and then like we said he gives the description or he said he gives the
00:36:39.260 diagnosis and then like here's the diagnosis of your sickness and here's the symptoms whereas
00:36:44.100 there's among you envying strife and divisions that's a definition for carnal those are the
00:36:51.080 symptoms of your carnality which is your sickness uh and you walk as men like walk as men in the
00:36:57.260 flesh not the spirit for a while and here's what because while one says i'm i'm a paul
00:37:02.000 in another i'm of apollos he's saying doesn't that prove you're carnal right who then is paul
00:37:10.460 who is apollo so now he's going to explain it but ministers can we pull up that word ministers
00:37:15.900 Yeah, yeah.
00:37:16.240 Can we do the...
00:37:17.140 Boom, and boom, boom, boom, boom, ministers.
00:37:21.040 And then when you hit the number, I can't read it.
00:37:23.580 So let's see here.
00:37:26.980 Biblical usage.
00:37:27.800 One who executes the commands of another. 0.94
00:37:29.860 Okay.
00:37:30.180 Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:37:31.140 Can we make it bigger?
00:37:32.240 Can we make it bigger?
00:37:32.920 Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's fine.
00:37:33.600 Let's look at the word itself if we scroll back up.
00:37:38.000 Sure.
00:37:38.360 You want to look at like the sort of the deaconos?
00:37:41.300 Yes, the word deacon, right?
00:37:42.920 Deacon in a church.
00:37:44.080 it's funny because this came up last episode right but it's deacon okay so imagine what you
00:37:48.140 think of in the word deacon if we scroll down kind of slow uh we keep going we get into um
00:37:55.640 so what do you do the biblical usage a deacon how do you go a little bit this format's a little
00:38:02.340 weirder go back up a little bit because it because i think it gives a definition somewhere
00:38:06.060 uh i think that was what we were on now root word okay scroll a little bit again i think what we
00:38:12.600 were looking at there was that so this is the usage but if you want to go to definition strong's
00:38:16.640 definition yeah probably from an obsolete uh run errands run on errands okay an attendant uh a
00:38:25.520 waiter a waiter who are we waiting on especially a christian teacher and pastor so me and top i was
00:38:31.440 like it's an errand boy it means you're an errand boy for the lord yeah you're you're waiting on
00:38:36.580 the lord specifically a christian teacher and pastor is an errand boy right an errand boy for
00:38:42.280 the lord okay isn't that wild isn't doesn't that kind of bring a different context well i like that
00:38:46.740 idea to a waiter like you're waiting on the lord same like you are tending to the needs of the lord
00:38:51.900 what is the what is the lord need i'm running errands for somebody else yes yeah yeah but it
00:38:55.980 goes it keeps going back to this thing that we're co-laborers together with god we've been called
00:39:00.080 into fellowship with him i'm just an errand boy for him okay so that so then he goes on to like
00:39:06.000 uh explain this a little bit better but he says uh who then is paul and who's apollos but ministers
00:39:10.240 right imagine if like people in the pulpit today with the microphone had this mindset that i'm just
00:39:15.760 an errand boy for the lord i'm not the big shot if this isn't a pyramid and you would never have
00:39:20.560 i'm at the peak of the pyramid in this church like no i'm just an errand boy you would never
00:39:24.160 have performative uh mega church pastors no no i'm just a waiter to your point i'm just a waiter
00:39:30.260 i'm just a servant i'm just running errands for somebody else that that's the concept is not my
00:39:36.040 own errands i'm running errands for somebody else he says that's what we are by whom you believed
00:39:42.080 even as the lord gave to every man who then is paul who is apollos but servants or errand boys
00:39:50.480 by whom you believed that's all yeah uh even as the lord gave to every man i have planted
00:39:56.360 apollos watered but god gave the increase right so he's saying like the planting is important
00:40:01.740 the amen and so you could even say the planting is like the greatest job any human could have
00:40:06.380 on planet earth like greater than the president nothing grows without planting but also nothing
00:40:10.320 grows without god giving the increase right but the seed has the life yeah like ultimately that's
00:40:16.360 what he's saying is like uh i've planted apollos water but god gave the increase right these are
00:40:22.800 great callings in human life but the life's in the seed and so my planting and my watering must
00:40:27.960 be in cooperation with god or i'm wasting my time z-man says church turn to your neighbor and say
00:40:33.540 can i take your order i like that that's good right and remember remember in uh the parable
00:40:40.060 the seed uh the parable of the sower the seed is the word of god the parable of the sower is this
00:40:47.220 uh yeah where it talks about some seed is on the gets thrown on the rocks and the birds come and
00:40:51.840 get it some seed is thrown into the uh rocky soil so it kind of you know it gets going but
00:40:57.280 it has no root so it just dies some seed is thrown into like thorns and thistles and so the cares of
00:41:03.160 this life and riches the deceitfulness of riches chokes it out and then some goes into good ground
00:41:08.640 but ultimately he says the seed is the word of god okay so paul says yeah i planted but the life
00:41:14.520 is in the seed right that's from god it's the word of god and i'm just an errand boy like like i'm
00:41:19.560 just a servant i'm just a just a waiter yep i'm just a waiter here so yeah i planted a seed but
00:41:26.040 like the life's in the seed yeah apollos came along he watered it but the life's in the seed
00:41:31.040 so those are good those are meaningful jobs but the seed is the word of god and we're just workers
00:41:36.320 with god okay so he says uh so then neither is he that plants anything like guys we're not anything
00:41:44.660 we're just ministers so neither is he that plants anything neither he that waters but god that gives
00:41:49.500 the increase this is all about god it's funny because reading this so i sent you uh
00:41:54.800 a thing um over the weekend or maybe it wasn't over the week it was yesterday and you were like
00:42:00.800 what is that it was like something that some dude said to me uh hold on i want to read i'm not going
00:42:05.200 to say what the guy's name is but so i'm in this um group on facebook and the group is for people
00:42:11.760 that think they were in the gate program which is gifted and talented supposedly a selection process
00:42:15.640 for like a branch of mk ultra which is i was in the gate thing after school when i was a kid but
00:42:21.180 I got kicked out the first day, dude.
00:42:22.800 Yeah, yeah, I think I did some testing, 0.99
00:42:24.820 but they thought I was too stupid 0.98
00:42:25.880 to be a part of it or something, 0.99
00:42:26.820 so they kicked me out.
00:42:29.160 So I said, somebody was like,
00:42:31.780 what do I do to get rid of curses?
00:42:33.140 I said, hey, good news is
00:42:34.740 sacrifice is currency in the spirit
00:42:36.920 and the ultimate sacrifice has already been made
00:42:40.540 when Jesus Christ died on the cross
00:42:42.380 and what was bought with that currency
00:42:43.800 was us back from the dead.
00:42:45.340 All you need to do is call on his name
00:42:47.020 and start to enter communion with Jesus Christ
00:42:48.960 and these things will start to heal.
00:42:51.360 It's the beginning of a healing process.
00:42:53.500 And somebody was like, oh, you know, not true.
00:42:56.420 Jesus was an ascended master.
00:42:58.740 And I go, hey, man.
00:42:59.640 You said another thing where Grok or one of the robots said,
00:43:02.120 get rid of all the gods.
00:43:03.880 No, no, no, I didn't say that.
00:43:04.760 All I said was like, hey, man, you're not going to talk me down on this.
00:43:07.640 I have a relationship with God.
00:43:09.040 Nothing you say is going to change that.
00:43:10.240 I like that, yeah.
00:43:10.660 You know, it's all good.
00:43:11.380 So he messaged me and he goes, hold up, brother.
00:43:13.320 We may be more like-minded than I originally thought.
00:43:16.120 But then his next message is, I am a starseed.
00:43:19.240 I went through several dark nights of the soul.
00:43:23.200 They led me to a kundalini awakening.
00:43:29.260 And then I started to spread the truth about Jesus, 0.95
00:43:31.820 which led to a monodick awakening. 0.99
00:43:37.360 And just one dick, not a multi-dick awakening. 0.99
00:43:43.280 That's what I call it. 0.99
00:43:44.720 it's fairly uncharted waters it's kind of a new thing uh my life has been a story uh you know
00:43:51.680 work biblical roots and spirituality witches warlocks 33rd degree masons uh hunger games
00:43:58.280 chosen one olympics prison aliens all this stuff and he says let's be friends and i go uh no what
00:44:05.440 these people suffer from i didn't say anything to him what these people suffer from is the exact
00:44:10.000 opposite of what the Bible prescribes, right?

00:46:08.940 chosen one. I'm the special one. You're right. And that plays on people, man. Somebody comes

00:46:18.060 great, you know, you have people are like that instantly feeds them. Yeah, it does. You got to
00:46:22.240 resist that. I always thought I was man. God came as a humble servant. Yeah. Right. The what is it?
00:46:28.960 The least among you is the greatest of you. Right. I think is how it was described. I remember
00:46:32.780 pastor rick reading um and it was talking about you must be the servant among exactly all of you
00:46:38.720 yeah exactly so it's literally telling you in order to be great you know humbling yourself
00:46:42.920 humility look at christ as this example he comes up you got to go down exactly exactly whereas the
00:46:48.380 other thing is like no no my wisdom my intellect has shown me the truth i'm a star child star seed
00:46:55.180 yeah an indigo child they change it every so often you know they just give it a new name
00:46:59.440 special one it's a special boy it's special boy syndrome well that was the matrix horrified was
00:47:04.260 that the chosen one yeah the chosen one exactly and i think people you know watch what does the
00:47:09.060 chosen one do planted in them is they're like yeah i've always felt like i was somebody special
00:47:13.140 and what but what does the chosen one do he escapes the matrix so it is this big gnostic
00:47:17.980 thing because ultimately what it leads to is like in my own intellect and wisdom i have determined
00:47:22.120 that this is a prison this is a prison and the god of the bible has imprisoned us here he's actually
00:47:27.460 a bad guy and in my own knowledge and wisdom i can escape this matrix so it's like that's what
00:47:33.900 that's the path that ultimately leads you your intellect and your wisdom that causes you to
00:47:38.480 look at the wisdom of god as foolishness causes you to war against god ultimately that's where 0.98
00:47:44.000 it all takes you and it starts with this like special boy shit right which is the exact opposite 0.98
00:47:48.620 of the kingdom of god which is like i'm just a humble servant it's so it's so stark like puts 0.96
00:47:52.700 on the towel and starts washing people's feet he says hey man i'm giving you guys an example
00:47:56.720 you want to be somebody important make yourself not important
00:47:59.500 yeah Elohim says gnosis maxing
00:48:01.160 yeah and if you look at the guy which like hey man
00:48:03.000 you know I get it looks aren't everything
00:48:05.420 but physiognomy is
00:48:07.380 applicable very often especially when it
00:48:09.480 comes to these like spiritual pursuits 0.99
00:48:11.020 looks like shit just a fat 1.00
00:48:13.400 slob anxious 1.00
00:48:15.200 psychopath kind of character 0.98
00:48:17.240 but he's got it all figured out
00:48:18.780 he's also an ascended master by the way he told me that
00:48:21.240 I'm an ascended master the guy you were talking to
00:48:23.060 ascended masters are fat I just don't think
00:48:25.580 that you get to be an ascended master and be fat yeah that's just my my two cents okay please i'm 0.82
00:48:31.560 sorry let's get back to this uh one three eight no i like that i like that insight though um
00:48:36.760 okay so i don't know where did we finish off i planted apollo's water but god gave the increase
00:48:42.280 yeah imagine just making clicks around the planter or the water in light of right the servant boy
00:48:48.180 the air boy imagine making a click around that now like like imagine there's some house with
00:48:53.540 all these servants there and you're making clicks around you know which servant you follow uh by the
00:48:59.900 way everybody's saying buddha in the chat yeah that's exactly my point buddha is a fat dude who 0.99
00:49:04.460 is an ascended master i don't think he ascended to shit i think that's really what i'm getting 0.98
00:49:08.740 at here is um you know it's not it's not he's a false god a false idol i don't think he ascended 0.93
00:49:14.640 to much of anything in fact i'm sure he uh if his you know spirit exists in any way hopefully he's
00:49:21.120 realize that he he messed up so then neither is he that plants anything neither he that waters
00:49:28.080 but god that gives the increase that that's like the that's like the madness of clicking around a
00:49:34.980 servant man uh now he that plants and he that waters are one right i think he's saying in
00:49:40.720 purpose right it's like hey we're like we're one we're like what do you mean you're making
00:49:45.360 planter is not more valuable than the waterer you're on a football team and somebody's like
00:49:49.640 We're going to rally around the wide receiver.
00:49:51.900 We're going to rally around the quarterbacks.
00:49:53.380 Guys, guys, we're all on the same team.
00:49:54.880 Right.
00:49:55.300 Like he that plants and he that waters are one.
00:49:58.720 And every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labor.
00:50:03.280 So we're all on the same team, but each individual is going to receive according to his labor.
00:50:10.380 So everybody's got skin in the game.
00:50:13.720 For we are laborers together with God.
00:50:17.020 That's this whole wild thing, man.
00:50:18.520 you are god's husbandry you are god's building so god's husbandry is like you're god's food
00:50:25.660 forest or it's like when jesus says i'm the vine you're the branches just keep all this in
00:50:29.900 perspective like you're this garden of god right some some have been in here watering and planting
00:50:36.220 but it all belongs to god right um and i and i think part of this is like uh you know even you
00:50:44.140 babes even you babes you guys are alive in christ you're still part of god's husbandry and therefore
00:50:49.480 he's watching over you so let's keep just keep that mind before you get into these cliques this 0.84
00:50:53.640 is like how absurd it is that you're getting into these cliques man uh but he uses two he uses two
00:51:00.200 pictures though he says you're you're god's husbandry you're god's foods forest and you're
00:51:04.720 god's building right i don't think he says food forest but go on that's fine i mean it's like a
00:51:09.860 it's like a garden it's like a it's like a vine um just kind of specific language i didn't see
00:51:15.840 it used but but the interesting thing here is that your god's husbandry and your god's building
00:51:20.820 but so both of those pictures are pictures of something that is built by god yeah the building
00:51:26.860 is being built by god and it belongs to god and it's also one thing made of many pieces right well
00:51:33.280 at least in the in the god's building or the garden sense right of the water it's like there's
00:51:37.680 a great deal of things coming together to form one thing. Yeah. And so he's, and so he's building
00:51:42.960 this and he builds it through humans. We're co-laborers together with God. So he uses a guy
00:51:48.660 to plant. He uses a guy to water, but it's, it's him building it. Okay. It's, it's him with the
00:51:54.000 vision of it. It's him with the purpose of it. Like to, to build the church today, God's the
00:51:59.060 one building it, but he uses workers to build it. Right? Like that's it. That's all anybody is today
00:52:04.560 in the church co-labor they're just a co-labor and they're a low-level co-labor they're a servant
00:52:10.280 and they're just working with god but it's god's building god is the one building it you're just
00:52:14.720 helping out on the job right and the building ultimately belongs to him so we had to have
00:52:20.760 that context okay he says uh your god's husbandry your god's building according to the grace of god
00:52:27.720 which is given unto me as a wise master builder i have laid the foundation and another builds
00:52:33.240 thereon, but let every man take heed how he builds thereupon for the foundation can no man lay than
00:52:39.360 that is laid, which is Jesus Christ. Remember he said earlier, he says, um, what did he say? He
00:52:45.940 said, uh, I know nothing among you, but Jesus Christ and him crucified. Right. Pride determined
00:52:50.620 not to know anything among you save Jesus Christ and him crucified. And now it's like, he's, it
00:52:56.640 looks like he's calling back on that. He's saying like, I've laid the foundation. No, no other man
00:53:01.680 can lay any other foundation and that foundation is jesus christ right now we're all going to build
00:53:06.520 and god's building here just keep in mind the foundation is christ you're going to build you're
00:53:11.260 going to do something here but keep that in mind and be mindful of how you build okay
00:53:16.540 uh so i like think about that dude this is a construction site right you're on a construction
00:53:23.520 site you're building there's a guy sweeping the floor there's a guy like running the screw gun
00:53:28.360 there's a guy he's putting up sheetrock there's a guy you know he's framing this guy's doing
00:53:33.080 electric this guy's plumbing imagine if on that job site people started to make clicks around
00:53:37.980 the different ones the electrician yeah and just lose sight of the of the fact that they're
00:53:43.200 building one cohesive thing yeah yeah dude that's exactly what's happening today man and you see how
00:53:49.380 that would destroy the witness of the church if everybody on the job site just started to click
00:53:53.180 around the electrician one clicks around the plumber right another click around the flooring
00:53:57.760 guy and they're and they're and they lose sight of the reality that they're all in cahoots that
00:54:02.280 this is not about any their one trade this is not about any one craft this is about the building of
00:54:08.060 the building that belongs to somebody else right somebody's an owner that owns that building and
00:54:13.180 has brought you into the work to build the building so what one of the things that i'm i'm getting
00:54:18.920 here is we were doing a show with uh the berean files yesterday and they were talking about worship
00:54:23.760 music and some of the worship music was like a little bit contradictory in its lyrics it would
00:54:28.040 say one thing and then it would say another and it kind of became unclear and i talked about how
00:54:33.020 that is actually in contrast to scripture with like scripture is a little bit hard for me in
00:54:39.740 particular to read because of the language that it uses but once you start to unpack it you realize
00:54:44.560 it's saying a lot of the same things it's very consistent in its in its themes and its values
00:54:51.040 and the things that it's trying to drive home,
00:54:53.200 and it repeats them a lot, right?
00:54:55.180 So like this foundation,
00:54:56.440 we were talking about this in church probably months ago, 0.99
00:54:59.260 but this like the fool builds a thing 0.99
00:55:02.560 versus the wise man who builds a thing, 0.99
00:55:04.880 what's foundation is on Christ. 0.99
00:55:06.840 And when the fool builds a thing, 0.99
00:55:09.120 it'll crumble, it'll fall. 0.99
00:55:10.680 But if the foundation is built upon Christ,
00:55:12.740 then it stands strong.
00:55:14.540 It's like that is baked into scripture
00:55:16.680 in so many different places.
00:55:17.980 You know, this idea of the foundation being Christ.
00:55:21.040 With different pictures and different language, but always coming back.
00:55:24.800 Very repetitive, very repetitive.
00:55:26.240 Like it, it is clear that like the Bible, like God wants you to know these things very much.
00:55:35.660 Repetition is like, even when Jesus says like, verily, verily, I say unto you, like when he repeats things like in one sentence.
00:55:42.940 Yeah.
00:55:43.280 And I would argue that even like, yeah, through the entirety of Scripture, the entirety where you see these things being repeated, that's the same as us like underlining something or putting it in bold.
00:55:56.120 That's the way God tries to emphasize a thing.
00:55:58.900 That's why it reads a little bit weird because you're not going to read anything else that's really doing that unless it's like an instruction manual that like you go to a certain place in the instruction manual, let's say, or like how to build manual, let's say.
00:56:12.300 and every so often a few times per chapter they go and don't forget that in the beginning we
00:56:17.880 talked about the foundation of the thing that you're building has to be structured like this
00:56:21.220 and now that's going to come into play right here and then they're going to revisit it in the next
00:56:24.740 chapter too and say remember when we talked about how the structure is this well here is why you
00:56:28.520 want that structure to be this so it doesn't read like it's a chronology it's history it is um
00:56:36.840 deep and insightful and it is the story of God, but it's also an instruction like a how-to if
00:56:44.200 you were going to do like read a book on how to build. Your body is always giving you signals.

00:58:18.420 You know, a deck or something like that.
00:58:20.000 It was always going to draw back to, like, remember when we put those specific screws,
00:58:24.100 the wood screws, and they were how long?
00:58:25.900 Three inches?
00:58:26.380 Well, the reason they were three inches, we talked about in then chapter one, they're
00:58:29.600 three inches because this is why it's like, yeah, it keeps drawing back to it.
00:58:33.740 Amen.
00:58:34.260 And that's what he's saying.
00:58:35.160 Like, amen.
00:58:36.460 Like we can go right to the Bible to say, how do you build the church?
00:58:39.580 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:58:40.060 We don't have to go to like, how does the world conduct business to make a lot of money
00:58:45.720 and to be as efficient as possible?
00:58:48.420 No, no, no.
00:58:48.960 Let's go back to the scripture to read, like, how do we build the church?
00:58:52.300 Yeah.
00:58:52.480 And it's, and it's very plain and it gives us the example.
00:58:55.300 It's kind of a crazy book in that way.
00:58:56.860 And it does repeat itself to emphasize points,
00:59:00.020 but it's like when we get into our own thinking
00:59:02.280 because we find out that like in the world,
00:59:04.840 certain things are successful,
00:59:06.700 and then we say, oh, let's do the world in church clothes.
00:59:10.040 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:59:10.460 Like let's do that.
00:59:11.500 That's when this thing just goes off the rails, man.
00:59:13.700 It's like, and then you lose sight that like,
00:59:15.140 whoa, I'm just a servant.
00:59:16.360 I'm just an errand boy for the Lord.
00:59:18.020 It's interesting too,
00:59:18.820 because unlike any other instruction manual,
00:59:20.720 you can open up scripture and go to like a,
00:59:24.180 a small section and there's the context within scripture,
00:59:28.760 but then there's the context within your life.
00:59:31.120 And that context is often unique to the reader in their life and their moment
00:59:35.680 in time. So like, man, it is, it's, it's a story. It's a chronology.
00:59:39.760 It's, it's accurate history. It is a how to manual,
00:59:44.140 but it also is a thing that speaks to you where you're at because it's alive.
00:59:47.980 that's what you're keying in on man yeah yeah yeah jesus said my words are spirit what else is
00:59:51.960 like that nothing there's nothing really like this dude this book is alive that's wild like
00:59:56.920 everything in it is alive yeah and that's why yeah it has like multiple layers like who and
01:00:03.040 then the way that it's it's stories over thousands of years but there's all these callbacks and
01:00:09.980 connect that's when you do all that that's when you say there's no way this is written by man
01:00:14.660 Yeah, because I look at a Marvel film, and when they do callbacks to the previous films, they get a couple per movie, and I go, banger.
01:00:21.260 If it was this baked in, like if they went through this length to have a Marvel movie callback and be this dynamic, you'd be looking at – it's interesting because you'd be looking at a masterpiece, number one.
01:00:32.720 But number two, we have one, right, all the things that we just said about it, but because it's readily available, it is like not considered.
01:00:41.980 Most people don't even think about it.
01:00:43.380 It's like, no, you have this book here.
01:00:44.480 It's actually remarkable.
01:00:45.640 Most people don't know what's in it.
01:00:47.140 And there's not preachers like unpacking it and saying, look how incredible this is.
01:00:51.140 Because the common man doesn't necessarily have this ability to unpack what's in the
01:00:55.380 scripture.
01:00:55.660 But that's why God sends preachers, man.
01:00:57.520 He sends sowers.
01:00:58.640 He sends them forth to sow. 0.64
01:00:59.940 That's what they do in that parable, man.
01:01:01.360 He sends sowers.
01:01:02.560 He sends them forth to sow the word of God, man, so that people can get this.
01:01:06.520 When they go like, oh, well, the church fathers assembled the Bible. 0.98
01:01:11.120 they decided what books were going to go in and what it was like i don't give a shit not not that 0.98
01:01:15.480 i'm not saying like screw those people or anything like that i'm saying ultimately god is behind it 0.97
01:01:19.680 all that's what i say too out of their hands some people argue that like this is inspired by god but
01:01:24.160 the people putting it together that wasn't inspired by they'll i would say yeah dude it is inspired by
01:01:28.580 god for it to fit this perfect god had to determine which books yeah ultimately so okay these ones
01:01:33.240 come together yeah because they'll argue it in both ways people that are anti-scripture will say
01:01:38.800 man wrote that and then people who are you know pro scripture but also pro institution yeah we'll
01:01:45.680 go well our church fathers wrote that so you have to adhere to them you have to you know um look to
01:01:51.600 them for guidance and intellect and all these other things so it's interesting that both sides
01:01:55.200 are using that appeal to the fact that humans made it but if you look at it it's like i don't know i
01:02:01.160 know what the man of god who gets a bible and the holy spirit teaches them he says i'm good man you
01:02:05.520 guys enjoy yourselves yeah uh-huh good luck with everything that's i mean the only way to deal with
01:02:09.320 it because it's not gonna you're not gonna reason with either of those groups and make it stop prove
01:02:13.600 them wrong and they're gonna go hey you know what you got a good point there that's not gonna happen
01:02:17.260 so you just kind of you're in the world you're not of the world you let all those people argue
01:02:21.060 and fight you just kind of say i'm good man yeah all right uh so we were on for other foundation
01:02:27.300 can no man lay then that is laid which is jesus christ now if any man builds upon this foundation
01:02:33.460 So now he's saying, here's, you know, think about this, consider this when you start building
01:02:36.800 upon this foundation, which is Jesus Christ, and there can be no other foundation.
01:02:40.420 If any man builds upon this foundation, here's some of the building supplies, gold, silver,
01:02:45.920 precious stones, that's one category, and then wood, hay, and stubble, that's another
01:02:50.740 category.
01:02:52.080 Every man's work shall be made manifest, for the day shall declare it, because it shall
01:02:56.520 be revealed by fire, and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is.
01:03:01.860 if any man's work abides which he has built thereupon he shall receive a reward if any man's
01:03:08.100 work shall be burned he shall suffer loss but he himself shall be saved yet so is by fire so there
01:03:15.740 you go it's it's salvation versus heavenly rewards amen yeah so just like you said you guys are babes
01:03:21.640 but you're alive right you're babes but you're alive which crushes that's huge you guys built
01:03:26.620 an entire structure out of wood hay and stubble yeah when i told michael to bring the blowtorch
01:03:32.220 to test everything your whole thing went up in flames you're saved but you have no reward
01:03:36.940 right like so so that's how we need to test these things man and of course you look at this and you
01:03:42.320 think about like gold silver precious stones these are found underground dude these cause
01:03:47.400 like uh there's some work that needs to be done that everybody doesn't see yeah oh that's
01:03:53.000 interesting wood hay and stubble i mean these are just found in abundance above ground where
01:03:57.320 everybody can see man so there's a lot of people that have that like maybe they have a name a
01:04:02.900 reputation there's somebody that's so-called important in the 501c3 system today or whatever
01:04:07.920 and it's just a giant pile of wood hay and stubble it's these things that everybody sees
01:04:12.880 and there's men on the earth today that i think we don't even know dude that are just piling up
01:04:17.440 gold silver and precious stones as they build the church with those things man it's funny i i keep
01:04:22.660 going back to this, like, I have a thought every once in a while, because we're in Corinthians. So
01:04:25.720 it's, you know, obviously, Paul is speaking. And, and I keep going back to these videos or these
01:04:30.680 claims that I've seen rather recently, where people are like, Oh, Paul was sent to subvert
01:04:34.600 the Bible, you know, by the Romans, because he had to twist and destroy the message of Jesus
01:04:42.260 Christ. And I'm like, Okay, cool. What is he saying? And then we're looking at what he's
01:04:47.160 saying. And I go, I was just destroying them. What are you talking about, dog? Like, where's
01:04:51.460 that come into play when's that happen when does he get to the part where he subverts christ's
01:04:54.920 message it's impeccable as you go through the writings of paul you're like dude what other
01:04:58.720 person could have made made sense of it in this way yeah yeah i don't know that's a thing though
01:05:04.860 is like that paul yeah yeah i wasn't aware of it i came across it recently you guys brought up a
01:05:08.820 couple months ago it's like gnostic shit you know what i mean like it is like oh yeah this is like
01:05:13.100 the secret of the bible you know what i mean which is like some very complex things that it's like 0.87
01:05:17.580 man how okay what exactly they mean by that that's why we have like from the book of acts on is like
01:05:22.700 to unpack everything that jesus was saying and doing and every everything that the entirety of
01:05:27.260 the bible if you will kind of unpacks yeah yeah like paul explains things in a way that like it
01:05:33.520 just it's like nobody else could have done this i'm excited to get to the part where he he twists
01:05:37.620 up jesus's word and subverts him i'm very interested to see what that looks like yeah that's so funny
01:05:41.540 that people i don't know where they i don't know i don't know you know that's probably a layer of
01:05:46.600 uh fun gnostic conspiracy shit that i haven't gotten to yet i'm only peripherally aware of it
01:05:52.400 it's got to have something to do with like grace and works though i think that's one thing that
01:05:56.400 people yeah yeah yeah i think so grace and works grace and works but like you have a very clear
01:06:00.500 understanding of it just seems fine immediately i was the same way it's like when i first heard
01:06:04.280 by grace rewarded by works not yeah saved by grace through faith there's nothing i could do to earn
01:06:08.860 it there's nothing i did but what have you built deserve it but then once i have that yeah now i
01:06:13.900 now i can start to do the work and as a saved person as one who's a co-laborer together with
01:06:19.680 god yeah as i co-labor with him he's going to reward me for that work i'm doing to build his
01:06:25.300 church yeah yeah but it's going to be tested that's easy it's going to be tested is it is
01:06:29.060 it superficial is it wooden and straw and stubble whatever the hell that is stuff that i can make
01:06:34.040 huge piles of because it cost me nothing right right it looks great or am i doing things that
01:06:38.440 cost me something yeah time that cost me energy sacrifice me money yes i've sacrificed
01:06:43.760 for and i've had to dig underground and to get these things man in a secret place when nobody
01:06:48.860 else was which makes sense like would god look at somebody who sacrificed for the kingdom of of god
01:06:54.140 right a sacrifice to further the will of the lord would he look upon that person and go like hey
01:06:59.000 yeah you're saved but also you did some extra cool shit yeah let's talk about that i think people have
01:07:04.260 a hard time with like the reality of the eternal realm we're going into a real realm it's not just 0.97
01:07:09.920 this like fanciful woo woo angels flying around little harps the little baby angels on clouds
01:07:15.800 it's nothing like that we're going into the eternal realm it's a very real realm and so like
01:07:21.340 you're going to have rewards it's going to position you for eternity like what you're doing here
01:07:25.700 is what establishes your position in the eternal realm you're saved amen it also makes it makes
01:07:31.820 sense within the grander scheme of things too because like jesus's message was humility right
01:07:36.460 Like that was he humbled himself, came as a servant.
01:07:39.000 What are you going to do?
01:07:40.820 What are you going to do to get your own salvation?
01:07:43.220 You're going to do works?
01:07:44.440 Like Jesus literally humbled himself.
01:07:45.880 You're not going to do some grand thing here that's going to earn you your salvation.
01:07:50.480 God came as a servant and they murdered him.
01:07:53.080 And that was to buy you back from the dead.
01:07:55.040 Number one, if that doesn't work, then it diminishes what God has done here, right?
01:07:59.380 Having come here and died on the cross and overcoming death and ascending to the right
01:08:03.120 hand and all these different things mean nothing.
01:08:05.440 if it's still by your own works right why are you smiling what's the matter yeah it's absurd man
01:08:09.680 it's like oh yeah you're gonna do some great things yeah yeah i just love how you think
01:08:13.260 sometimes it just doesn't make a lot of sense you're gonna do some great people they get upset
01:08:17.420 they get upset with with and i think it is that i think you nailed it it's that like works versus
01:08:21.400 grace yeah people are hung up on i never i don't know step one step two i i never was confused by
01:08:27.640 it but then i started to see people fighting over it and stuff i was like i don't know man
01:08:31.140 And I think I think it's just like with the word of God, it's like the water that takes the path of least resistance.
01:08:36.160 Like it seems pretty plain.
01:08:37.620 Yeah.
01:08:37.920 It's pretty cut and dry, man.
01:08:38.860 You're saved by grace through faith.
01:08:40.260 There's nothing you could do.
01:08:41.320 We already had to earn it.
01:08:42.520 There's nothing you could do to even deserve it.
01:08:44.460 Yeah.
01:08:44.580 You don't have any.
01:08:45.740 You don't deserve that.
01:08:46.940 Also, we had an opportunity for salvation through works.
01:08:50.060 That was the law.
01:08:51.320 Right.
01:08:51.920 In a huge way.

01:10:26.160 People that were saved in the Old Testament were saved by faith in the Messiah, a coming Messiah.
01:10:30.320 Right, right.
01:10:30.560 But wasn't that the idea, though, is like the law, like, okay, you want to try the law?
01:10:34.000 And like, we couldn't...
01:10:34.980 I don't know.
01:10:35.500 I got a little bit different view on that.
01:10:36.740 That's a nation.
01:10:37.460 That's the nation of Israel, right?
01:10:38.780 So they come out of Egypt, and now they're a nation.
01:10:41.920 Like, I think we lose sight of, like, the reality of this story.
01:10:44.220 Like, this is a nation.
01:10:45.380 They need a constitution.
01:10:47.120 Sure.
01:10:47.420 Like America in so-called 1776 or whatever.
01:10:51.440 Interesting.
01:10:51.460 I guess if they, if the story's right and branch away, we have the constitution, we
01:10:56.540 have our rights.
01:10:57.140 We need that.
01:10:57.820 You have to have a bill on.
01:10:59.320 So God says like, this is the law for this nation.
01:11:01.660 Okay.
01:11:02.060 Interesting.
01:11:02.440 Like this is the law for these people had a beginning.
01:11:04.720 We know it had a beginning.
01:11:05.640 According to Galatians, it had an end because it says until I'm talking about the coming
01:11:09.160 seed.
01:11:09.600 It's talking about Jesus.
01:11:10.880 Well, that's not even, I mean, we know that, but.
01:11:13.200 Right.
01:11:13.440 So I'm saying at a beginning and an end, and it was for a very specific people group in
01:11:17.100 a very specific place.
01:11:18.340 Right now they were not saved by following the law.
01:11:20.860 they were saved by grace through faith in the coming messiah okay anyone on planet earth who's
01:11:26.840 ever saved is saved by grace through faith in jesus okay so like uh but but there's a lot more
01:11:32.000 tied up in the law there is the obedience to god like he did call you to live according to this
01:11:36.160 law so you're sure you're living in obedience that's good those are those are good things man
01:11:40.200 he's laying down principles he's laying down i mean the foundation for human existence dude like
01:11:46.340 Like if you, that's one thing that's intriguing about the so-called, uh, what's it called?
01:11:50.640 We're like the church runs the country, uh, the Vatican.
01:11:54.020 No, but, um, you know, they call it like a Christian nationalism.
01:11:58.160 It's like, yeah, yeah. 0.93
01:11:59.100 Amen.
01:11:59.480 If a nation did have these laws at their core, that would be a blessed nation.
01:12:04.000 I'm just saying it's never going to happen because the people that run these nations
01:12:07.160 are all out for personal gain.
01:12:09.360 They're not going to put in some godly government.
01:12:11.940 Like it ain't going to happen, man, until Jesus comes back.
01:12:14.660 Okay.
01:12:14.700 um but yeah i don't know where we were going well i was just saying because i that was my
01:12:20.160 mistake then because i thought that um adherence to the law was how you previously uh attained
01:12:27.500 salvation nobody could like well that's what i was kind of getting at was to show that nobody could
01:12:32.400 right so what i was doing was i was making a comparison but i think it's incorrect where i
01:12:36.080 was saying like if adherence to the law was how you gain salvation and nobody could do it
01:12:41.280 it almost shows you that there's no works that you could do to achieve your own salvation because
01:12:46.700 they couldn't adhere to the law i think that's what roman seven i think it's roman seven
01:12:51.200 somewhere romans maybe five i think it's seven where it's just kind of getting to the point that
01:12:54.840 like the law was perfect the flaw was in man right no man could follow the law right the purpose of
01:13:01.320 the law was to show you so it just seems ridiculous that you would sit here now and go
01:13:04.920 and works are how you attain salvation and i can do that like now you can't do that right
01:13:11.260 And then when it comes to these passages that say faith without works is dead, it's like, yeah, amen.
01:13:15.800 You're just saying, like, talk is cheap.
01:13:17.380 It's not real.
01:13:18.160 Yeah, talk is cheap.
01:13:19.160 Like, this is a way to check and gauge, do I really have faith?
01:13:23.000 Your faith should convict you.
01:13:24.760 And if you're convicted, then you should feel compelled to, yeah, exactly.
01:13:29.180 Jesus says, any man who hears these sayings of mine and doeth them.
01:13:32.200 Yeah, yeah.
01:13:33.160 He's like a wise man who built his house upon a rock.
01:13:35.620 And that's like telling you.
01:13:36.520 hears these sayings and doesn't do it he says he has faith but he's not living accordingly dude
01:13:41.940 his house is on sand yeah yeah and that's almost like how you would identify it right like you
01:13:47.540 could look at somebody and be like that person says they have you know faith but what are they
01:13:51.640 what are they doing like what's their life look like what are the fruits of that faith you know
01:13:54.820 are they evident in their life um so it's almost like an identifying qualifier you know that you
01:14:00.160 could look over to somebody and see but i think a lot of times too like i don't know which ultimately
01:14:04.860 the qualifier is love like jesus ultimately says like they will all know you by love they'll all
01:14:09.680 know that you're my disciples by love that's interesting you may have dividing theology and
01:14:13.880 doctrine and eschatology and different views on all these things but ultimately humankind is going
01:14:18.920 to know that you're with me by love yeah i love that you have for one another that's what it
01:14:23.080 always comes back to uh love god with all your heart mind soul and strength and love your neighbor
01:14:27.960 as yourself like he's saying like that's the entirety of the law the law that nobody could
01:14:32.800 live up to love god with all your heart mind soul and strength and love your neighbor as yourself
01:14:36.980 that's the context of the law so still reserve is saying i'm convinced jesus is king but i think
01:14:41.580 there's way more than has to be done here than just agreeing he's real which is like yeah yeah
01:14:45.300 yeah yeah absolutely right you're a living sacrifice it's it's god's will executed through
01:14:49.640 you we're co-laborers right so what we're doing is executing the will of the lord so yeah like
01:14:54.100 there is there's labor actually to be done everything that goes along with but then he
01:14:57.780 says this i actually disagree with this he says nothing in the bible was simple the gospel seems
01:15:01.380 incredibly simple well it's an interesting word sometimes we get hung up on words but like
01:15:05.660 not to be reductive they're not easy yeah yeah but they can be simple and it's not
01:15:10.100 simple in the sense to to reduce how unbelievable it is you can make it simplicity of the gospel
01:15:17.260 you can take these passages they love god with all your heart mind soul and strength and love
01:15:21.260 your neighbor as yourself and as a simple man you can say you know what i'm gonna just do that
01:15:24.800 yeah you call it grandma max that's what i was gonna say grandma maxing you know what i'm gonna
01:15:28.460 just do that i don't know you know there's a lot smarter people than me that can argue about
01:15:33.040 this eschatology and that eschatology and this doctrine and this theology like that's cool
01:15:37.880 i'm gonna just love god with all my heart mind soul and strength i think i'm gonna be pretty
01:15:41.100 busy with that because i don't i don't think that's a casual thing to love god with all your
01:15:46.140 heart mind soul and strength still reserve says not easy right so there is there's like a language
01:15:50.400 thing right we're saying simple but not easy those are they kind of get conflated a little bit like
01:15:55.540 and it's interesting because in some ways like god says his yoke is easy right so like it is
01:16:01.700 easy in some ways episode no i didn't uh but but what um what is true but that yoke we unpacked it
01:16:09.680 it's it's like a harness that you'd put on yeah but life is hard like this entire experience is
01:16:15.220 hard right so this is like like let's say in the in the aspect of like fitness and nutrition right
01:16:19.920 where it's like oh i don't go to the gym and eat right because it's hard it's like you know what
01:16:24.220 else is hard. Um, watching your body deteriorate, uh, and, and, you know, hitting a massive decline
01:16:31.180 way too early and then suffering because you can't lift up your grandkids and you can't go for a
01:16:35.260 while. Yeah. That's hard too. It's easy because it requires doing nothing, but it's a completely
01:16:41.100 different type of hard. So this entire realm is hard in its way, but like God's yoke is easy.
01:16:48.040 Right. But in this hard realm, you can either have on this yoke, this, this harness that's very
01:16:53.440 uncomfortable that doesn't feel right it doesn't seem right and a giant load in the back that's
01:16:58.540 just too heavy to carry or in this realm that's already hard enough hey take a yoke that's easy
01:17:04.160 that fits right yeah it's light and this burden this load behind you that's light yeah take that
01:17:09.260 yeah yeah because it's still you're still in a realm you're still moving through a world that's
01:17:12.620 hard but even that is a picture of a co-labor together with god like i'm co-laboring together
01:17:18.060 with him i got i got on a harness and i've got a load that i'm carrying i'm in this labor together
01:17:23.220 with god there's no way out of it you're going to be laboring no matter what yeah everybody is
01:17:27.520 yeah you're going to get out of this realm without that's the same thing there's no such thing as uh
01:17:32.420 not hard right it's either hard now right where you're doing this thing and you're working towards
01:17:37.660 this goal when you're getting which kind of hard you pick whichever hard it's just like in a food
01:17:40.780 forest dude something in florida anyway i think it's different cali where it's like clay soil and
01:17:45.120 very dry maybe stuff sure yeah and it's the great state of florida something's gonna grow there
01:17:49.580 yeah yeah you either pick it or nature picks it that's interesting so if you don't mulch that
01:17:54.560 area right and plant out what you want to grow there something's going to pick what grows there
01:17:59.760 it's gonna be like the nastiest weeds like the craziest stuff like the life is just like that
01:18:05.020 man yeah yeah you're gonna pick your hard you're gonna pick your labor it's not like there's no
01:18:08.820 labor and there's no hard that's not an option actually yeah yeah yeah it's better to pick which
01:18:12.820 one you want than to like let life just pick which one yeah all right cool so uh let's uh let's keep
01:18:18.160 going we were on uh 13 i think yeah so this is just no no no we weren't on 13 yeah we went all
01:18:23.740 the way through 15 but we can keep unpacking that man just that like um every man's work
01:18:28.580 shall be made manifest for the day shall declare it so the day of the lord's coming dude there's
01:18:33.380 going to be a day uh and it looks like this would potentially be like the judgment seat of the
01:18:39.220 believer the bima seat okay the greek uh word bima not the great white throne where uh ultimately
01:18:45.120 everyone there is thrown into the lake of judgment right versus this other one this is one where our
01:18:50.820 works will be made manifest okay almost almost is it to say a reward ceremony you know that's sick
01:18:56.200 um we you know we'll be saved either way but our but our works could be burned and suffer loss
01:19:02.740 sure so this is the day where like we give an account for our life if you will the day will
01:19:07.080 declare it man that's what i'm saying that we have to live life in light of the reality that
01:19:11.540 this is going to happen. There's going to be a day where I stand before God and whatever I've
01:19:17.020 done in my life, I'm going to give an account for it. And there, and there's nowhere to hide.
01:19:21.620 It's not like here where you can get a lawyer or you can kind of manipulate somebody or talk
01:19:26.060 through something because you're really good at debating. I like that. It's the judge, but here
01:19:29.720 you do represent yourself. You don't get like an attorney. Well, you have Christ that advocates on
01:19:34.240 your behalf and that's the salvation issue. But this is just bare and wide open. All things in
01:19:38.840 this in this day it's bare and wide open there's nowhere to run there's nowhere to hide dude there's
01:19:44.000 just you giving an account for your life and if you know that day is coming why wouldn't you live
01:19:49.480 life in light of that reality yeah why wouldn't you be like dude i know there's a day i don't
01:19:54.340 know who all sees it but i know god sees it where like i'm gonna give an account for how i live down
01:19:59.840 here i have an obligation to god that's what i used to always tell the kids it's like you guys
01:20:03.380 have an obligation to god yeah like none of us is owed being here on planet earth i know you want to
01:20:08.080 do this for your friends or this for your teacher or this or whatever, but your first obligation is
01:20:12.240 to God and you're going to give an account for the way you live. Right. So that's, that's,
01:20:16.140 what's intriguing about this, man, is get you one day. We are going to bring everything we've
01:20:20.700 ever done. Right. And it's going to be laid bare before God. And I would say, yeah, before we're
01:20:24.860 born again, we don't have any capacity to do anything for the kingdom of God. But once we're
01:20:30.100 born again, now we have skin in the game. Right. Now grace without faith or faith without works
01:20:35.540 is dead right saved by grace through faith and that faith is dead if you're not doing anything
01:20:39.840 with it you're you're deceiving yourself is what that's really about do you think that this show
01:20:45.460 is planting seeds and watering like the just the thing that we're doing right because sometimes i
01:20:50.440 get i get caught up and i go like well what am i doing am i like hugging enough homeless people
01:20:54.260 and and like praying with them um which you know me like that's super you don't like it you don't
01:21:00.620 even have to be homeless you're still like the whole like yeah yeah but then like so so i'm
01:21:06.160 measuring it by that and then every once in a while i go well i am talking to people and i am
01:21:11.880 uh i guess i'm sharing my witness no i think you're doing a great job on this show and i think
01:21:17.040 you instigated this show particularly like you said selfish means though so that i could learn
01:21:22.260 well yeah amen but i think but but you're valuing that it may be so-called selfish but you're saying
01:21:27.100 god i'm value this and if this is the way i'm gonna learn is by like doing a show yeah that's
01:21:31.900 it because the show makes me walk in and i'm willing to do it god like i'll lock in on a show
01:21:36.200 so that i can start to engage in the bible we're planting seeds i think you do a good job of it
01:21:40.480 because you know because you have these angles like you're saying about like the star child
01:21:43.560 i mean yeah yeah you're like yeah they have this special voice that's what that holds to that that
01:21:48.380 gate program and so by you doing that you're making this very real to a lot of people that
01:21:54.320 like i don't know anything about the paladians and the z-man says has raven ever given a brotherly
01:21:59.740 kiss no no no no that's uh with brotherly tongue newt oh who's newt newt 42 seems new hey newt
01:22:06.080 crazy people bro like they're not getting reached any other way but by people like you that's one
01:22:11.040 so yeah i would say amen you're planting seeds and you're rough around the edges right now but 0.81
01:22:14.820 like you're you're cooking um in that gate program thing they all suffer from that that uh you know
01:22:21.120 whatever is a special boy syndrome because they all want to be like i was in the gate program i
01:22:26.020 always got a good point to your answer your question absolutely anytime you get people
01:22:29.820 thinking you are doing the work right listeners then spread those seeds to others or implement
01:22:35.260 it into their lives like think about how many people hear this or watch this or whatever however
01:22:39.620 they consume it and then it's in their mind and it's what they're talking about with their family
01:22:43.620 when they get home or they're talking about the people on job sites and it's like you're spreading
01:22:47.680 this kind of thinking and this kind of language that's interesting in the earth yeah i think that
01:22:51.940 matters you know you know what's interesting this is a little bit of an aside but it just reminded
01:22:54.700 me because which is staggering sorry to keep going but you think that like a so-called podcast or
01:22:59.820 yeah that kind of authority in the earth today that his voice could go i was a high school dropout
01:23:05.160 his voice could go further than like john wesley or george whitfield yeah it's staggering to stop
01:23:10.280 and think about it like what just give me a ballpark of like what uh what do you guys get
01:23:14.040 on a show for audio listeners just per per month um i say all in on everything like somewhere in
01:23:20.240 the neighborhood of i don't know per episode like 15 000 or something like that 15 000 people per
01:23:26.160 episode potentially are listening on audio yeah something like that yeah this is dude maybe even
01:23:30.520 more actually i mean i'm just saying there's short in light of eternity dude in light of like what's
01:23:35.000 going on on planet earth for how many uh decades and centuries now of preaching the gospel yeah
01:23:40.540 better them than me those dudes should have had a podcast huh i mean think about it they did man
01:23:47.040 think about the scale like people were riding horseback for like days to come hear them preach
01:23:52.420 like in person like that's how much they crushed dude when they didn't have any gimmicks they
01:23:56.540 didn't have like a it wasn't like show up and we'll have a slide in the lobby or any of the
01:24:01.140 other it's just preach can we get a slide here um not a bad idea so uh this is like a totally
01:24:06.660 aside but i said this thing on because i was talking to my wife and she was talking about
01:24:12.840 somebody that she knows that had an abortion and you know and whatever now she's she had it when
01:24:18.500 she was younger and now she's you know expressing like regrets because she's maturing and she's
01:24:22.980 kind of like weighing this sort of spiritual implications of things and she's saying like
01:24:27.540 you know i don't she's this is what she's saying right now oh i don't regret it because you know
01:24:33.740 I was, I was just looking at like where the world is going. And I'm like, do I really want to bring
01:24:37.200 a child into this world? And I, that drove me nuts because it's the easiest time to live ever.

01:26:16.040 You just feel like she's...
01:26:17.100 It's like, hey, hey, be honest here.
01:26:18.760 Be honest.
01:26:19.280 That's not why you...
01:26:19.980 You don't give a... 1.00
01:26:20.620 Especially at the age that this girl was like,
01:26:22.340 hey, hey, you were like early 20s, maybe late teens.
01:26:25.540 Yeah, you're not...
01:26:26.100 You're not caring about the trajectory of the world
01:26:28.340 and politics.
01:26:29.240 nasty for that you're not evil it's okay but be honest yeah yeah if you want to be honest you're
01:26:34.680 like yeah man that was just me being childish yeah but i said um imagine going back in time
01:26:40.200 and telling people one day you're not going to hunt and gather anymore you won't need to
01:26:44.320 everything will be facilitated at a supermarket and even the poorest among you will have little 1.00
01:26:48.920 boxes in their pocket that contain all of the knowledge of mankind and women will be killing 0.98
01:26:54.240 their children because life is too hard that that's really it life is too hard what and they 0.83
01:27:00.660 would go they would go whoa we won't have to hunt and gather anymore well what about what about having
01:27:05.920 to like labor day and night so that we can just like actually no you'll it'll be shortened a lot
01:27:11.180 you'll probably be able to do like a nine to five maybe if you're a little bit sharper than that you
01:27:14.180 could figure out another way around it and a lot of that could even be just sitting in a chair
01:27:17.740 talking to a phone or typing on a computer what's a computer don't worry about that but like it's
01:27:21.660 going to be a lot easier and then when you're done you'll be able to just go and pick up whatever 0.97
01:27:25.220 food you want you'll have so much time that you'll just be watching shit for entertainment yeah how 0.95
01:27:29.360 absurd is that argument and then you go like money's hard and i don't know where we're going 0.94
01:27:35.360 to be it's just not a good time to bring a child into this world or look at the political climate
01:27:39.400 of the world i have no idea it's like hey people were birthing on cave floors and you want to talk
01:27:44.400 about how hard it is and what the world is going like right right and we're not trying to like
01:27:49.400 crucify you have to be honest with yourself at this stage of the journey to ever move on from
01:27:55.580 this yeah man like be honest you grew up in a culture where that was okay there is a lot of 0.99
01:28:00.500 things that i have done that were wrong and it's because i fucking suck oh i just dropped a f-bomb 0.99
01:28:06.960 on your straight but now you look back and yeah and you have you cannot keep continue making 0.99
01:28:11.980 excuses for what you've done in the past you have to come to god and go this is how terrible i am
01:28:16.540 yeah because only there can you come to terms with like but you still died for me right as long as
01:28:21.880 you're holding on that something yeah it wasn't that bad but yeah well it's the inverse of it 0.89
01:28:25.940 it's the inverse of it because it goes um i suck i dropped the ball there's so many ways in which
01:28:31.240 i fell short and yeah god still loves me and still redeems me and isn't that unbelievable versus the
01:28:35.040 savior complex well you know i did it i had a good reason i had a good reason i'm not gonna bring a
01:28:39.920 poor innocent child into this world what i've heard women say that that i'm not gonna bring 0.97
01:28:46.220 a child into this world so that they have to experience this so you not only are you fooling 1.00
01:28:51.360 yourself but you're adding a little bit of a savior complex on that i did a good thing like that's
01:28:57.560 that's crazy i know thank goodness for people like owen man he's like i'll buy them i'll buy
01:29:01.880 those kids let's put these kids you want to be co-laborers with me you can work this land baby
01:29:06.800 let's go no the abortion thing is so wild bro it's brutal it's brutal satan has manipulated 1.00
01:29:12.000 mankind to be like yeah yeah just kill them yeah just and you're doing them a favor there's tons 0.96
01:29:17.660 of good women who have done that sure because that's the culture well good what's the mark of 1.00
01:29:22.860 good it's okay to do that yeah but later on when you come to terms with it you got to be brutally
01:29:27.840 honest yeah you got to be like no god that was wrong man i took the opportunity from some human 0.80
01:29:32.760 plus i'd imagine that a female has to have some crazy feeling inside of her of course doing that
01:29:37.840 dude like of course that lingers and it gets worse as time goes on i think my boy uh chuck
01:29:41.960 used to take these pain meds that were for uh people who lost limbs yeah they were for phantom
01:29:46.580 pains he had he had yeah i'll be with my truck dude like if you lost a limb but you would still
01:29:51.140 have these phantom pains yeah i know what you mean they just had us high dude okay and you got to
01:29:56.740 think that like a female must have that the rest of her life dude that she had like this human that
01:30:01.080 was supposed to be a part of her supposed to have a life that's gone and you have like phantom pains
01:30:05.640 yeah well i don't know like i'm not a female so i want to know that kind of stuff but it seems like
01:30:09.200 that would be like a thing a good analogy you've got to come to terms with that with god dude you've
01:30:13.800 got to be able to come to god and say this is this crazy thing i've done i can't believe i did this
01:30:18.200 as part of the culture i have no excuse but this is just the way what's even crazier too is a lot
01:30:22.660 of them are doing it because they have to you know first off that's a layer of of cope right
01:30:27.240 i'm doing it a favor we don't know what this world's going to be like what about the economy
01:30:31.160 yada yada yada i'm actually a hero and then it goes now i have more time for my career and it's
01:30:35.540 Like most of these women, what they're going to see as a career, this is just human beings
01:30:38.620 in general. 0.99
01:30:39.080 I'm not saying women can't do X, Y, and Z. 1.00
01:30:40.780 I'm just saying you're going to end up as a medical bill or encoder. 1.00
01:30:44.040 And that's the legacy that you leave behind for all the girl bossing that you're going 1.00
01:30:47.680 to go do. 1.00
01:30:48.360 You're going to dress in scrubs.
01:30:49.300 You're going to punch numbers into a computer. 1.00
01:30:50.540 Not because women can't do a thing, because a very small percentage of the population 1.00
01:30:55.760 ever end up reaching the upper echelons of whatever, building some sort of corporate 1.00
01:31:00.980 empire or some shit like that. 0.99
01:31:02.220 So the, the, the girl bossing that you freed yourself up to do is medical billing and coding. 0.99
01:31:07.580 You know, what's sad about that too, man, is like, even the, even the chicks that do 0.73
01:31:11.280 end up being so-called successful being the girl boss, then they get older and they're 0.94
01:31:14.880 like, damn, the thing I really wanted was to be a mom. 0.93
01:31:17.600 And like now, you know, I waited so long now I can't, you know, you're supposed to be having 0.99
01:31:22.620 babies.
01:31:23.140 Like I think throughout human history, like teens, even teens, twenties, you know, thirties
01:31:28.460 is getting late and people are in their forties, man, before they're even like, oh,
01:31:32.200 maybe i should do the kid thing now like i'm longing well they can freeze their eggs too so
01:31:35.840 there's an industry that's like hey no no it's okay yeah and then you just end up with people
01:31:39.660 who are so-called successful but then they miss out on the thing they really wanted to be which
01:31:43.640 was a mom yeah yeah i always go back um and we'll get back to it after this but my uncle mac
01:31:48.240 was a solid dude i've talked about him a lot on the show shout out uncle mac and he um you know
01:31:53.600 he got me into welding and he had a lot of toys he had speed boats and and hot rods and trophies
01:31:59.360 from bass fishing and competitive shooting and all this stuff he was just a dude that did
01:32:03.280 everything and he got company started he had a lot of money to show for it passed away real young
01:32:09.220 uh you know and i think in his early 60s or something like that and uh but he used to tell
01:32:14.720 me all the time that i was a richer man than than he was because he didn't have a kid um and it's
01:32:19.280 like so that's a guy that got to the place where we had all the shiny things and all the toys and 0.71
01:32:23.900 all the fun shit that you could he girl bossed his way to the finish line you know what i'm saying 0.61
01:32:27.720 and uh he turned around and looked at me was a welder making 13 an hour got my car repoed because 0.97
01:32:34.440 i couldn't make payments didn't know where i was going to be you know a year from now and was
01:32:39.280 struggling to make ends meet and he would say you're a richer man than i am you know what though
01:32:43.340 he had sight of this passage we read earlier from timothy where it says you come in the world with
01:32:47.320 nothing and you're leaving with nothing yeah yeah he got a glimpse of that he saw that coming you
01:32:52.100 know before the end what do you actually have here man you have like the word of god and maybe
01:32:55.840 you have some humans in your camp and those are the only eternal things man like that's it all
01:33:00.900 the other stuff is just very fleeting you can't take any of it with you yeah yeah all right uh
01:33:05.880 let's uh let's let's get back down okay so okay so then so then he makes it even uh even more wild
01:33:11.720 picture not only are you this building of god that belongs to god that's being built by god
01:33:16.640 with labors that labor together with god not only is it that right and that you'll be judged
01:33:23.040 according to, I guess people might be offended by that word, judged. You'll be rewarded according
01:33:29.420 to how you build. Yeah. Just like anything else in the universe. I'm going to decide how much
01:33:33.980 reward you get. I'm going to judge how much reward you get. It's the same applicable term there.
01:33:38.100 So that's all going to happen. Then he makes this wild statement, man. Know you not that you are the
01:33:44.820 temple of God and that the spirit of God dwells in you? If any man defile the temple of God,
01:33:51.040 him shall God destroy. For the temple of God is holy, which temple you are. Let no man deceive
01:33:57.800 himself. If any man among you seems to be wise in this world, let him become a fool that he may 0.99
01:34:03.280 be wise. We're right back to this concept. For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. 0.98
01:34:09.160 For it is written, he takes the wise in their own craftiness. And again, the Lord knows the
01:34:13.260 thoughts of the wise that they're vain, they're empty, they're meaningless. Therefore, let no man
01:34:17.880 glory in men, for all things are yours, whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas or the world or life
01:34:24.460 or death or things present or things to come, all are yours. And you are Christ and Christ is God's.
01:34:32.060 This is too much to unpack. No, no. So I want to go back to,
01:34:36.640 let's, I want to look at something real quick. I want to look at this word defile.
01:34:39.840 um so defile g okay uh give me one second here to corrupt to destroy uh in the opinion of the 0.95
01:34:50.720 jews the temple was corrupted or destroyed to lead christians to be destroyed so that's interesting 0.57
01:34:55.180 because maybe i'm looking into something that doesn't need to be really expanded on no no go
01:35:01.120 ahead what do you mean um if any man defiled the temple of god him shall god destroy i was looking
01:35:06.660 at defile it's like because at first it says you are the temple of god well this is intriguing
01:35:11.400 because there's an element of you are the temple of god right you individually you contain the holy
01:35:16.040 spirit and there's another element of it where it's you the church or the temple of god because
01:35:20.960 the holy spirit resides in the church at large so if any man defile you or the church god shall
01:35:28.080 destroy and i'm trying to look at it was what does it mean to destroy or to to defile rather
01:35:34.640 And what does that mean in the context of—
01:35:36.860 What's that definition for defile?
01:35:38.340 And then, yeah, what will God do to that person?
01:35:40.380 Because that's important, right?
01:35:41.960 We know that.
01:35:42.680 It's going to be destroy.
01:35:45.140 We should look at both of those, man.
01:35:46.620 If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy.
01:35:50.380 Because the temple of God is holy, which you are.
01:35:53.800 One way to—it is to corrupt or destroy.
01:35:57.120 So if any man corrupts or destroys the temple of God, God will destroy them.
01:36:01.220 and one of the definitions is to lead away a christian church from the state of knowledge
01:36:06.260 and holiness in which it ought to abide which is interesting because yeah that's what the book of
01:36:10.620 jude is really about too man is is people that in they come in and they lead people astray
01:36:15.660 and god will destroy those people so that almost kind of touches on the one saved always save thing
01:36:23.960 you know a little bit because it's like if you could corrupt let's say that within a human
01:36:29.220 context well what are we doing we're leading a christian not even christian church a christian
01:36:34.400 from the state of knowledge and holiness in which they ought to abide um yeah that is to destroy
01:36:42.340 them that's a real warning yeah so you could defile you could destroy and and what does it
01:36:47.840 mean to destroy it's like that sounds like a salvation issue you know what i mean yeah i'm
01:36:52.840 not saying i'm going either way on this where where i'm saying once they've always saved or
01:36:56.960 i don't think i don't think it matters right like like if you like if your doctrine tells you that
01:37:01.400 um that uh like like if you say it's not once saved always saved then you're you know you're
01:37:08.480 doing your thing whatever if you say it is once saved always saved you know if you if you say it's
01:37:14.120 not once saved always saved you look at all the examples in the bible the warnings like that you
01:37:18.380 say look at all these warnings you can be destroyed had faith and they did not like
01:37:21.920 jesus prayed for peter's faith that it wouldn't fail him right so like your faith can fail you
01:37:26.140 You're saved by grace through faith.
01:37:27.620 You know, if people like walk away from their faith, no one can take it from them, but they
01:37:31.400 can walk away from it.
01:37:32.440 They can leave their first love, if you will.
01:37:34.280 Like there's all these things, right?
01:37:36.200 So you can explain it that way.
01:37:38.000 But then the guy who says, no, no, it's once saved, always saved.
01:37:41.400 What all they have to say there is that, well, that guy was never saved to begin with.
01:37:45.000 Right.
01:37:45.380 So it's, so it's, it's whichever flavor you like.
01:37:47.260 That's interesting.
01:37:48.100 It doesn't matter.
01:37:48.560 Like nobody denies that there's people who look like Christians and then all of a sudden 1.00
01:37:52.580 they're not right. 1.00
01:37:53.320 Right.
01:37:53.520 Oh yeah.
01:37:53.740 So it's just all you're doing is saying, well, like, uh, well, he was saved and he lost it.
01:37:57.940 Yeah.
01:37:58.140 Other guys say, no, no, no, he was never saved to begin with, but none of us are going to 0.98
01:38:02.040 ever give a shit about that topic. 0.97
01:38:04.080 If we have a loved one on their deathbed and they've gone away from Christ, nobody's going 0.99
01:38:08.300 to care.
01:38:09.260 Oh, did you, did you have salvation and lost it?
01:38:11.920 Or, oh, I guess I feel better that you're not with Christ because you never had it to
01:38:16.260 begin with.
01:38:16.820 It doesn't matter.
01:38:17.680 It doesn't matter.
01:38:18.160 We all look at these stories and we go, wow, people can be on track and then they're not.
01:38:22.080 Oh yeah.
01:38:22.400 I just think about it within that context where it's like, you have salvation, right?
01:38:27.960 And they go, yes, I have salvation.
01:38:29.880 You go, but you could be corrupted and destroyed.

01:40:03.420 Well, Paul says we're closer to our salvation now than when we first believed.
01:40:07.000 So there's this element of, like, getting saved,
01:40:10.160 there's this element of staying saved,
01:40:11.600 and there's this element of ultimately being saved.
01:40:14.320 Like, we're closer to our salvation now than when we first believed.
01:40:18.400 Is that just within the timeline of things?
01:40:19.960 like you're going to die yeah so like you're closer to death now than you were before and at
01:40:25.340 death you're due to be saved because there's a day of salvation the day of the lord the day
01:40:30.880 you know however you look at it there's probably some different flavors to this the day of the
01:40:34.260 resurrection uh we're closer to that now than we were yesterday yeah yeah for sure we're gonna be
01:40:40.300 closer to it tomorrow but i'm saying i'm not getting any younger but paul ties that into
01:40:43.380 salvation he says you're closer yourself you're closer to your salvation now than when you first
01:40:47.820 believed okay i just thought that was interesting so there is this element i think when you study
01:40:52.680 it out of like getting state getting saved you know staying saved being saved the salvation
01:40:58.920 process and then ultimately the day of salvation what's also interesting here is that am i wrong
01:41:04.120 in understanding if you corrupt and destroy somebody who is saved who is a christian god's
01:41:12.600 going to destroy you that's what it looks like right yeah i mean it seems pretty so if you're
01:41:17.640 if you're if any man defile the temple of god right whether that's an individual who's filled
01:41:22.660 with the spirit of god or the church who's filled with the spirit of god if any man defiles that man
01:41:29.340 and that gets a little that gets wild man know you not that you are the temple of god and that
01:41:36.320 the spirit of god dwells in you if any man defile the temple of god him shall god destroy so in this
01:41:41.480 context uh i think it's talking about you the church or the temple of god if any man uh let
01:41:49.420 me look at well it says the spirit of god dwelled within you or dwelleth within you so we know like
01:41:53.640 the holy spirit dwells within us yeah i think that i think that passage is talking about the
01:41:57.600 church right because you get into 619 it says what know you not that your body is the temple
01:42:01.660 of the holy ghost which is in you which you have of god and you're not your own for you are bought
01:42:05.920 with a price okay all right so i think that context is the individual i can see how your
01:42:10.120 context is the church so it's saying like anybody who defiles the temple of god the church right
01:42:15.080 him shall god destroy and i think you nailed it earlier when you were talking about like this
01:42:19.460 people that come in that try to defile the true church that's what the book of jude is really
01:42:24.060 about too is apostates people who will defile the church for personal gain right we tied in like the
01:42:30.680 story of um the plague breaks out in the camp and i think aaron runs through into the camp with the
01:42:35.580 incense and he stood between the living and the dead to stop the plague that was killing everyone
01:42:39.500 and we made the point in the book of jude like that's the difference between a true man of god
01:42:43.920 and an apostate like a man of god will sacrifice himself for the good of the people
01:42:49.320 and the apostate will sacrifice the people for the good of himself and like there's those people
01:42:54.520 doing that god's going to destroy those people man like people who are trying to use and manipulate
01:42:59.400 and defile the church for personal gain at the expense of other people right go ahead you you 0.97
01:43:05.100 want to destroy them now god's going to destroy you all right but yeah i mean uh
01:43:11.900 no i agree with what you're saying though because it is like 17 and 18 or no no i'm sorry 16 and 0.53
01:43:19.680 17 are talking about yeah they're talking about the actual church well because he just came through
01:43:24.060 talking about building right right but and then right after that only in 19 so one verse later
01:43:28.720 it's talking about uh or i'm sorry uh is it is it 19 for the wisdom of this world is foolishness
01:43:36.480 no let man receive but let him become a fool uh where do we just read that uh if any man defile
01:43:41.800 the temple of god uh let no man deceive himself for the wisdom of the world is foolishness for
01:43:46.100 it is written um that's so weird we just pull up another verse what was it about what we were just
01:43:51.880 reading where suddenly it starts talking about the holy spirit dwelling within that was in six
01:43:57.840 that was something that i just oh okay okay all right six right okay um what know you not that
01:44:05.260 your body is the temple of the holy ghost which is in you which you have of god that's three not
01:44:09.660 your own for you are bought with a price no that's chapter six verse 19 and 20 got you but i think
01:44:14.540 this talks about uh the holy spirit as well though know you not that you are the temple of god and
01:44:19.160 that the spirit of god dwells in you right right 16 well it's yeah so it's definitely still talking
01:44:23.420 about the the holy spirit but it's talking about within the context of the church yeah the church
01:44:28.900 like is this uh housing place if you will for the holy ghost man it's like we're talking about like
01:44:34.480 david at the end of his life he's preparing all this uh you know lumber timber gold silver
01:44:41.000 everything for solomon to build this place yeah and then he's like talking to god like god all
01:44:45.100 this stuff belongs to you anyway you don't even dwell in temples made with hands to begin with
01:44:49.520 and all the, the, uh, the timber and the lumber and the gold and the silver, it's all yours
01:44:55.340 anyway. Like, what am I actually even doing for you? But it was always hinting at knowing that
01:44:59.920 like God would live inside humans, which is staggering. If you stop and think about it,
01:45:05.680 that's staggering. It's like, wait, that's the story. Who's, who's, who's making this the story?
01:45:10.720 Like you, like you read this story, you're going like, this is too wild for human thinking, man.
01:45:16.280 but that's what it's getting to is like the wisdom of the world is foolishness with god it's funny
01:45:20.140 and the wisdom of god he's like yeah i'm gonna come down there and die for you guys and i'm
01:45:23.560 willing to come live inside you and people think that that's so so you have a couple of different
01:45:27.540 schools of thought on that number one is a school of thought where you go materialistic scientific
01:45:31.820 this is foolishness then you have another school of thought i've been um seeing lately which is
01:45:39.640 from the pagan point of view unironic pagans who are into norse mythology or whatever who 0.99
01:45:44.860 mock the idea like oh your god died very funny it's like damn dude it's like that's exactly what 0.98
01:45:51.560 this is saying yeah it's but it's foolishness to like the natural man can't receive it yeah 0.99
01:45:55.960 yeah in the natural realm you're like yeah bro good good argument well they have they have their
01:46:00.520 gods they still believe in a spiritual god right the norse pantheon the vedic pantheon i see this
01:46:04.660 from from india a lot this is like you know i tend to argue with uh all of india on on uh twitter
01:46:12.240 on occasion and they'll throw that around they go yeah at least the gods that i worship
01:46:16.580 didn't die like they didn't get nailed to a piece of wood they're on to something it's so funny this
01:46:22.160 is this is absolute foolishness and from so many different angles why would this be the story but
01:46:27.040 i'm reading this and i'm going like this is incredible wisdom there's so much wisdom you
01:46:32.120 have to surrender your intellect you have to surrender and be humble to accept this as being
01:46:36.580 the story i you know i i don't find myself really uh struggling with that i mean this is just
01:46:42.220 corinthians right we've only just got it's gotten started in this x book for dummies right because
01:46:47.380 it's going to be an ongoing series um but i don't see this i don't feel as if i have to um
01:46:54.900 submit in order to grasp this i go like oh yeah this is a pretty profound understanding in human
01:47:01.700 nature that you know i think every episode this episode for every episode we've done of this
01:47:07.580 i've constantly taken it back to like yeah it nails the nature of people 2 000 years ago
01:47:13.800 we're very much still the same um i don't feel like this need to humble or surrender myself 0.97
01:47:19.680 in order to perceive that it doesn't even seem confusing in fact it's more just like damn really
01:47:25.780 got them really figured out people way back when because they're exactly the same way so
01:47:30.060 i i look over i see and it's not like i'm i'm super smart so there's you know there's always
01:47:35.080 room for me just missing the thing that some greater intellect is seeing that i'm not seeing
01:47:39.580 that informs their decision that this is foolishness sure i think those people can't grasp
01:47:43.940 the concept of like why did he die because a penalty had to be paid for sin if you don't if
01:47:49.760 you don't have that context like hey a ransom had to be paid yeah like a penalty had to be paid yeah
01:47:55.060 that's why he died so if you don't have that context of like man has been cut off from god 0.93
01:47:59.440 because of sin yeah then of course this concept of your god dying is foolish if you don't have
01:48:03.860 the context of why he died it's just it's it's funny man uh these are different perspectives
01:48:09.420 i haven't had the uh the pleasure of of seeing on display uh for all of conspiracy but once you get
01:48:17.100 into this and you see people's reaction to it from so many different walks whether it's spiritual or
01:48:23.020 otherwise it's like yeah that's funny the main theme is their wisdom um it says that this is
01:48:31.080 foolishness yeah amen and then they told us that it's so crazy it goes yeah by the way wisdom of 1.00
01:48:38.560 god is foolishness to the wisdom of men yeah oh yeah wow over and over again you guys are idiots 1.00
01:48:44.540 this is so foolish hey right on you just proved our point we got that's what that 2000 years ago 1.00
01:48:49.480 So that's what really makes like the idea of intellectual Christian debate kind of silly. 1.00
01:48:55.760 It's retarded, embarrassing. 1.00
01:48:57.380 It's it's completely contradictory to what this is. 1.00
01:49:00.820 This is literally saying that wisdom of men are never going to grasp how much in the church is the world in church clothes like that.
01:49:07.960 Like that's just one example.
01:49:09.340 Yeah, it's just like when you go watch a show Sunday morning, it's like, OK, this is all entertainment.
01:49:13.160 Yeah. Yeah.
01:49:13.840 It's like, OK, but it's got it doesn't say cuss words.
01:49:16.500 You know, we Chick-fil-A when we're done. 1.00
01:49:17.760 And it's like, it's in Christian clothes, but man, this is a lot like the world, the 1.00
01:49:21.800 way the world does entertainment. 0.88
01:49:23.000 It's just very funny.
01:49:23.800 It's a lot like the way the world does debate.
01:49:25.400 We're just debating a Christian topic. 0.97
01:49:26.960 But that's what's funny is in order to debate, you have to come from a background that's
01:49:30.480 informed in the thing you're defending or you're advocating for, which in this particular
01:49:35.620 instance is scripture, right?
01:49:36.820 If you're coming from that POV where you're going, I'm debating, I'm either defending
01:49:40.200 or I'm advocating on behalf of scripture.
01:49:42.580 Okay.
01:49:43.120 The same scripture that tells you that the wisdom of God is going to be received as
01:49:47.160 foolishness to the wisdom of man is a big thing though dude the totality of the whole counsel of
01:49:51.840 god like paul says that in another place he says man is another place where he says the blood's not
01:49:56.180 on my hands because i gave you the whole counsel of god yeah yeah yeah so that's interesting you
01:50:00.400 do give it yeah people take little bits and snippet that's what i'm saying it's like it's
01:50:04.180 the world in church clothes yeah but you know what debate feels like so so there's a difference
01:50:09.120 between planting seeds and then planting seeds and watering it and then planting seeds and
01:50:13.480 watering it and waiting for it to grow and cultivating the land and waiting for it to grow
01:50:17.420 and trying to make it grow on your own intellect and your own wisdom like that's what debate feels
01:50:21.920 like it's like i'm gonna plant this seed it's that i'm gonna yeah i'm gonna water this seed i'm
01:50:26.540 gonna cultivate the land i'm going to i'm gonna you know at best it's that because you're saying
01:50:30.960 the goal is the harvest but at worst it's just that guy wanting to be a big shot oh yeah that's
01:50:35.520 exactly what it is that's exactly what it is i mean that's what it is ultimately but it's just 0.90
01:50:39.320 funny because it's telling you like that's a fool's errand it's a fool's errand it looks 0.98
01:50:44.780 foolishness to the wisdom of men so unless and so accept that be willing to look like a fool 0.96
01:50:51.240 and then what's the only thing that that allows somebody to to to have that resonate with them 0.97
01:50:56.640 is i believe you guys have laid this out on previous episodes of straight bible it's the
01:51:00.380 holy spirit yeah the holy spirit is what um enables you to understand spiritual things right
01:51:07.820 Cause it, cause the danger of like bringing somebody in on intellectualism is then a smarter
01:51:12.260 guy comes along than you and talks them out of it.
01:51:14.340 Yeah.
01:51:14.560 That's why I've had conversations with people where I'm like, um, my inability to debate
01:51:19.860 scripture has no bearing on whether or not it's accurate.
01:51:23.440 Right.
01:51:24.280 Like what, what is my, how, how is my inability to defend this thing?
01:51:28.260 Because I might not have an answer to this question or that question.
01:51:31.280 How does that prove anything?
01:51:32.120 How does that prove anything?
01:51:32.960 Yeah.
01:51:33.240 It just proves that I don't have the information to engage in this.
01:51:36.240 it has nothing to do with whether or not this thing is right so all right um wrap it up yeah
01:51:42.040 do you want to know you you know you do you want to say it's our show dude i think i feel like i
01:51:46.140 opened this up you should close this out i don't know i don't know i don't know okay guys do all
