00:04:17.360
a little bit before the show i mean uh you were talking about audio content you should just use
00:04:23.480
the appearance yeah why would you could use every episode oh you know then we got to send it to him
00:04:29.420
and uh and we're just terrible do it yeah because he said before that's a great idea why don't you
00:04:34.280
send me that and i personally said absolutely and then not you never send me anything you never did
00:04:39.160
that at all so that's entirely artful um but you should do that okay i should do that i should keep
00:04:45.260
bugging you guys what are you doing um before the show started we were talking about some really
00:04:50.040
interesting things we said what are we going to discuss today and you brought up something that
00:04:53.520
was a bit of a surprise to me this um and people might not know it if they're not online although
00:05:00.220
i'm sure this is something just in in you know uh christian circles this sort of uh butting of
00:05:06.960
heads when it comes to or a perceived butting of heads i should say when it comes to paul and jesus
00:05:13.780
and very recently before we get into that you got to tell people where you can find oh yeah
00:05:21.060
So you can find me and two primary places at first.
00:05:26.640
So there's like everything I've been doing for many years that I need,
00:05:30.800
that we were talking about just finding different ways to get it out there.
00:05:38.220
but I need to start getting that out to everyone in different ways.
00:05:41.320
You'll still be, you still get the premium stuff if you become a member,
00:05:43.940
but you know, getting that information out, there's a huge deal.
00:05:47.520
Also, you can see there's the spiritual warfare course, which is going great with three months into the 12 month course where we're finishing the first because the first three months are all about defense and knowing yourself.
00:05:59.580
And, you know, in the next three months are going to be about offense.
00:06:02.020
And then we go into special situations and then finally being generative, like taking what you've learned and teaching it to others to kind of build an army.
00:06:09.260
And the good news about that is that we've cut the price in half permanently because there were some folks who found the price to be a bit of a barrier.
00:06:16.880
and understandable, but, you know, but myself and John, we're, we're, you know, we both do
00:06:21.540
consulting and we have tried to, we tried to build in our consulting fees at a reduction to that.
00:06:25.940
But some folks were still like, you know, it's a bit much and I get it. And it's really more
00:06:29.020
important to us that we get this information out because spiritual warfare is huge right now. And
00:06:34.320
so we, so the price is now in half permanently. There's no coupon code that, you know, we used
00:06:38.720
to have a coupon code for like the first couple of months, but now it is half price. So if that
00:06:42.620
was a barrier to you before, go to faithbyreason.net. There's a sign up right there. You can
00:06:46.680
get aboard. It's not too late to get caught up. New lessons every week. And if you go to the higher
00:06:51.980
tier, we have a lower tier if you just want to see the videos and use the workbooks and read the
00:06:56.120
books that we've made available. But if you want to get live coaching with myself and John for like
00:07:01.300
two hours every month, there's a higher tier. You can do that. And so you can come aboard and
00:07:07.140
catch up pretty quickly, you know, self-paced. But yeah, please come aboard. People are already
00:07:12.160
telling us this it's they have more confidence it's changed their lives already and we're only
00:07:16.100
three months into the 12 months that's awesome so the other place is uh patreon patreon is where
00:07:22.140
things everything drops first like the the episode that just did on the myths about cane because
00:07:26.620
they everyone makes cane their boogeyman for all the evil all the big evil in the world like is he
00:07:31.560
a reptilian who is his real daddy satan is did he marry lilith or the sofia all this kind of
00:07:37.600
crazy stuff we i i so you see that that's the most recent post there of course you can also
00:07:41.840
be part of my bible study not to be confused with the nephilim death squad bible study both
00:07:46.260
of which are great but you know my mine is is better well you're actually leading yours where
00:07:53.160
whereas and this is definitely not a slight to to ours but ours is just the community getting
00:07:57.900
together and and doing this on their own accord which i think is fantastic but um you're dropping
00:08:02.700
It happens on Wednesdays, and I've been to two of them.
00:08:08.240
They've only done three, and it's just fantastic.
00:08:11.000
Really, to me, it's heartening to know that any good fruits are coming from, you know what I mean?
00:08:18.360
What is coming from this atrocity of a show that we do?
00:08:26.140
Yeah, and mine is monthly where we go through the entire Bible in one year from the supernatural point of view.
00:08:30.620
we're looking behind the veil at what's going on in the Elohim realm so that's primary and what's
00:08:34.920
going on on earth is kind of secondary because that's really the whole point of jesus could be
0.97
00:08:39.060
billy carson's ass could be billy carson's ass we're setting it up isn't he running for president
0.98
00:08:45.900
now oh my god dude he is i heard that somewhere maybe it was on one of your shows but it was us
0.99
00:08:51.460
i told you yeah you weren't happy about it back then i see you're still not happy about no rejoice
00:08:58.120
guys we're gonna be saved um yeah so so uh one more time were those two websites yeah faithbyreason.net
00:09:06.200
and patreon.com faith by reason uh you don't get and this has been some confusion so patreon is
00:09:13.240
separate from the spiritual warfare class because i have some people who tried to sign up on patreon
00:09:16.760
it's not there patreon doesn't allow me to do the coursework there so it's on faithbyreason.net so
00:09:21.400
the course is there so just so there's no confusion gotcha okay guys you heard him um so so i'm eager
00:09:27.560
to get into this conversation is the way that it's been painted and and you kind of shed some
00:09:32.520
light on this before the show started was um jesus says you know do the will of my father
00:09:39.080
and and it and people seem to interpret um christ's words as as works as opposed to faith
00:09:46.600
is the key to salvation whereas then others will uh paint paul as having said explicitly faith
00:09:57.360
And I'm actually kind of surprised that that is anybody's consensus.
00:10:02.200
But but but it is nevertheless, Topp was accused of that, which was confusing.
00:10:11.900
Join us for application day at our Belleville campus Wednesday, June 17th from three to seven.
00:10:17.800

00:10:40.400
And somebody accused you of putting Paul over Jesus, which was a strange accusation.
00:10:47.800
Yeah, I don't know. We got into it again with, what's his name?
00:10:52.480
Yeah, Jacob Israel. And we finally address him. I'm like, hey, shut up.
00:10:56.820
And then they accused me of that. And I was kind of perplexed.
0.98
00:10:59.520
It was like, yeah, there's something that I must be missing.
0.93
00:11:02.320
So that's what's going on in the underbelly of Christian debate culture.
00:11:06.120
Yeah, I think what you pushed back against was this idea that he said,
00:11:10.440
there will not be a man returning. Jesus will not return.
00:11:14.260
It is Christ in you that will return in you.
0.97
00:11:20.140
This is not what it's Christ consciousness effectively is what he's propagating.
00:11:25.080
And so somehow a pushback against that is to elevate Paul above Jesus, which I didn't know was a thing.
00:11:33.680
I didn't know that it was either until a couple of years ago when I started hearing about it and getting some questions.
00:11:38.680
I learned about a lot of stuff that's going on in the cultural zeitgeist from my subscribers and people who are in my comments asking me questions, which I appreciate because, you know, I'm usually heads down doing my work or doing faith by reason because I put in a lot of work and research into that.
00:11:54.920
I don't watch a lot of listen, a lot of podcasts or videos, except for Nephilim Death Squad, of course.
00:12:00.540
I haven't listened to like Sam Tripoli in like months.
00:12:03.820
But but I heard about it and they they and so it's apparently a bigger deal than I thought.
00:12:08.680
There are some prominent people in it who, one of them is a guy by the name, I think
00:12:14.660
He's kind of a Chad type, you know, he's like, you know, not a bodybuilder, no, he's
00:12:18.900
like a big in-shape guy and he has this thing called the Jesus, I'm not going to, Jesus
00:12:22.640
only ministry, it's not, that's not the name of his ministry, I don't remember it, but
00:12:25.160
it's something like, you know, just the Jesus way, I think is what it's called, and he talks
00:12:28.600
about how there's this dichotomy between the message of Jesus and the message of Paul.
00:12:33.460
And he basically says that Jesus, they taught salvation differently, they taught grace
00:12:38.080
differently and that jesus was all about what doing the will of my father you know all the
00:12:43.220
things he talks about in the beatitude you know how to how to be like god you know to turn the
00:12:47.300
other cheek you know go the extra mile be uh um you know the golden rule do unto others as you
00:12:53.440
would have to do unto you so jesus was all about doing things in order to please god and be in
00:12:58.020
god's will and salvation it seems to be about doing things with jesus but then you get to paul
00:13:02.220
he says. And Paul says that salvation is grace and faith, the grace of God, which leads to the
00:13:10.200
faith in God. And then there is no works. Paul talks about that deliberately ad nauseum in the
00:13:16.840
book of Galatians and in Ephesians and in Romans. It's not about your works. And he says that that
00:13:23.260
is a contradiction to what Jesus says. And so they can't both be right. And so Paul is essentially a
00:13:29.080
false apostle he was a false prophet then you have people go a little further like uh what's
00:13:33.980
his name about professor professor but in quotes professor Zhang the the Chinese Billy Carson
00:13:38.820
because he's I've never absorbed any content from or but he just keeps coming up in conversation
00:13:44.240
I should look at it so he is well he was completely uh he was shown as to be a fraud by
00:13:50.080
by Jay Dyer Jay Dyer completely exposed him he claims he's a professor in in China who like went
00:13:55.720
to school in yale well first of all he he did go to yale but he went to a university of yale in
00:13:59.920
china no relation to the yale the ivy league school on the east coast but he never differentiates
00:14:05.020
that he just went to a some random college that was called yale in china and he's not a professor
00:14:08.800
he's a middle school teacher oh very sneaky very so yeah so props to jay dyer for for yes but
00:14:16.240
technically no right like yeah so this is what i've been caught up on like because of the orthodox
00:14:20.980
debacle all that that crap that happened uh jay dyer is he's announced that he stepped back from
00:14:26.620
uh the christian debate but that's it like debating theology or apologetics which is
00:14:33.180
an interesting turn of events i mean he still has so much to offer to the table but that's like what
00:14:37.920
i was paying attention to and i got hit from the side with the whole paul versus jesus thing i'm
00:14:41.860
like right what are we doing guys well but just to talk to uh to uh wrap it up with with jang he
00:14:46.760
he has gone in front of his audience and interesting whenever you see his videos
00:14:49.820
He's in front of a classroom, but you never see who he's talking to
00:14:53.580
He's he trying to make it makes it seem like he's giving a college lecture
00:14:59.660
But but he comes out with the same thing that Paul he goes further than than this Aaron April guy
00:15:04.740
He actually doesn't just say that that Paul was a false prophet. He says fault Paul was an intentional psyop by the Romans
00:15:13.260
Destroying the message of Jesus and giving a different message. So
00:15:34.480
And I'm not all about this just believing by faith
00:15:40.160
Because, you know, Catholicism is all about works
00:15:49.320
You're just basically getting into the car of salvation.
00:15:55.580
rub rosary beads, confess your sins to a priest,
00:15:58.780
give indulgences, take the Eucharist every Sunday.
00:16:09.860
and he says you know that that um that salvation by faith alone is like completely he said same
00:16:18.480
thing it's completely not um biblical in that in that it it of course it clashes with the
00:16:23.460
catholic traditions who cares about the traditions made up by these pedophiles and robes but what
00:16:29.060
yeah you can see how um what a high opinion i have with them but um yeah they're very much about the
00:16:34.660
works and that and it's almost like they feel like they're not doing enough like just accepting
00:16:39.220
jesus's gift well thanks jesus but now i want to do a whole bunch of stuff well doesn't i mean
00:16:43.760
correct me if i'm wrong my understanding is is still very limited but doesn't doesn't jesus
00:16:48.520
explicit like he says do also these things well it's it's faith is the salvation but that works
00:16:54.540
are the fruits of faith and it's almost not it's like telling you like this is what's going to
00:17:00.180
come out of your faith is is good works right right it's an effect salvation is the cause
00:17:06.720
like that's how you're going to know like you know if you're if your faith is real it's going
00:17:13.260
to produce uh good works more like rewards i mean jesus had two messages when he was on earth
00:17:20.520
primarily salvation and reward and there and and there's a difference salvation is is is more is
00:17:27.460
more quantitative it's yes or no you're saved you're not saved reward is is yeah i'm sorry
00:17:31.920
salvation is qualitative excuse me either you have it or you don't um no i've got it backwards
00:17:37.460
again no and then it's quantitative qualitative is reward there's gonna be different levels of
00:17:41.360
reward you know the the famous um uh um parable of the of the of the talents or the minas some
00:17:46.840
some will get 10 some will get five some get one uh you know based on what they do uh so you're
00:17:53.360
gonna have people in heaven have different levels of reward you know someone who's been a christian
00:17:57.660
for, you know, 30 years and does good works and helps people, they're going to get more
00:18:02.620
of a reward than someone who confesses on their deathbed and, you know, believes in
00:18:06.460
Jesus right before they die because they don't have any good works.
00:18:09.460
They'll both spend eternity with God, but one will have more reward than the other,
00:18:18.640
So how do you think, how are people, I suppose, misconceptualizing this and creating these
00:18:27.380
these straw mans versus what what does the scripture actually say sure so yeah let's break
00:18:31.580
it down so let's take a step back and look at when people have when people look at the bible
00:18:37.000
they say they say i see a conflict or a contradiction you know you have what's his
00:18:40.600
name we were talking to um a little while back we were talking about before the show borat or
00:18:44.820
whatever that's not his name yes yes uh we're all about the contradictions or yeah yeah that
00:18:51.140
there are by the way there are no contradictions in the bible i've heard every every accusation
00:18:55.940
of it and i've i've refuted it on my site and elsewhere but when when someone says they have
00:19:01.860
a contradiction especially if they're a christian but we'll go both ways christian and non it's
00:19:07.060
always based on at least one false premise and a definite agenda so because the bible is correct
00:19:14.820
meaning that if you see a contradiction or a conflict the bible you don't need to change the
00:19:20.180
bible you need to change your premise for example you know an atheist comes in who wants to disprove
00:19:26.180
the bible they have a premise their premise is that there's no god there's no supernatural
00:19:29.460
creator that you know the world just came into existence the universe came to existence by
00:19:32.980
accident you know once upon a time there was nothing then nothing exploded and 100 trillion
00:19:37.940
beneficial accidents happened in a row creating you know everything that we know and life comes
00:19:42.660
from non-life and there are beneficial mutations and things go from chaos to order all of which
00:19:47.380
is completely non-scientific scientifically impossible it violates all three laws of
00:19:51.540
thermodynamics i do a whole thing on this on faith by reason where i show how evolution is absolutely
00:19:56.500
impossible scientifically not according to the bible but that's their premise and because that's
00:20:00.500
their premise when they see the bible they're coming into it with the contradict they see
00:20:04.580
contradictions not based on the bible but based on their their contradict based on their premise
00:20:09.620
and their agenda so when it comes to but but for christians we don't have the excuse because we're
00:20:15.060
We're supposed to believe that the Bible is the word of God, that it's inerrant.
00:20:18.380
And if the Bible has a contradiction in it, then that means that God doesn't exist because
00:20:24.620
Two things that are contradictory cannot both exist.
00:20:27.180
I can't be in California and not in California at the same time.
00:20:30.960
You know, I can't be Ed Mabry, not be Ed Mabry.
00:20:35.640
So if there's a contradiction, then you're saying God doesn't exist.
00:20:38.540
And as a Christian, you would think that shouldn't be something that's on your to-do list.
00:20:44.280
Now, when it comes to Jesus and Paul, there is a false premise and there's an agenda.
00:20:49.480
The false premise is that Jesus and Paul were talking to the same people under the same set of circumstances, and they were not.
00:20:59.140
Now, if they were, then you could definitely see a conflict because they both talk about salvation.
00:21:05.760
But Jesus does, in fact, say you have to be saved by doing the will of the Father, by doing the will, by obeying the law, by doing all these different things.
00:21:14.500
In the present tense, that's how he speaks. In the future tense, he does talk about, you know, whosoever believes in me will not perish, but have eternal life.
00:21:20.820
But that's still to do. He's talking about doing things. Paul very much says that you are saved by believing grace.
00:21:28.200
And we need to talk about what grace is, because that's huge. Grace, which leads you to faith, which leads you to salvation.
00:21:33.040
so if they're talking to the same audience that's a problem however they were not talking to
00:21:38.240
different audiences and here's something that you guys have to you know kind of brace yourself for
00:21:42.280
this because it's going to sound a little heretical jesus was not talking to christians
00:21:46.740
during his ministry he was not they didn't exist exactly a christian because what's what's a
00:21:53.940
christian what is a follower of of christ in the sense is someone who believes in the death
00:21:58.580
resurrection and ascension of Jesus and has a Holy Spirit dwelling in them.

00:22:38.260
Jesus said himself in, I think it's John, I think, John 16, 7, that the Holy Spirit couldn't even come down until he left.
00:22:46.960
Jesus said, it's good that I leave because if I don't leave, the Holy Spirit can't come down.
00:23:01.420
So the split between what we call the Old and the New Testament is actually erroneous, technically speaking.
00:23:06.860
Because if you say that the Old Testament is the Old Covenant, the law and the prophets, and the New Testament is the New Covenant, where we have salvation through the death, resurrection, and ascension of Jesus, then the New Testament doesn't start until Acts chapter 2.
00:23:21.100
Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John are technically Old Testament, Old Covenant books.
00:23:38.440
like the woman whose daughter was demon-possessed,
0.86
00:23:48.220
no, it's not good to give the bread of the children
00:24:02.140
when he killed the Roman centurion's servant.
0.58
00:24:05.920
Other than that, Jesus was talking to Israelites
00:24:08.520
and it makes sense because he was the Messiah of,
0.77
00:24:16.640
Everything Jesus was talking about was about the law.
00:24:40.660
And here's another one that's going to mess up some Christians.
0.80
00:24:53.340
Because people rap salvation as, oh, this is just this glorious, beautiful, fluffy thing.
00:25:02.320
But salvation is basically the avoidance of punishment.
00:25:05.700
That is really what it means to be saved, to avoid a punishment.
00:25:08.220
I mean, if you're walking down the street and some guy comes after you with a knife
00:25:12.900
and I grab you and put you in my car and drive away, I've saved you.
00:25:21.940
salvation is simply avoiding a bad thing to put you into a position where you can have fellowship
00:25:27.800
with God. So if you look at what the mechanism was for salvation throughout the Bible, even
00:25:33.400
starting with the Old Testament, though there are different ways you could be saved, but you
00:25:39.020
avoided punishment by obeying God. Before the advent of Jesus, you were saved from any type
00:25:45.920
of harm by obeying God. So it was about obedience through the time of Jesus. So that's why Jesus
00:25:51.020
told people you had to do these good works in order to be saved in order to avoid punishment
00:25:56.140
not necessarily to go to heaven but to avoid punishment that was jesus's role so he didn't
00:26:01.680
he wasn't talking to christians paul on the other hand was talking to christians paul became he got
00:26:07.380
saved like you know several years after the the holy spirit indwelling in acts chapter two paul's
00:26:13.100
ministry was to believers and so it's a different message so he was telling because believers aren't
00:26:18.600
under the law anymore jesus fulfilled it it was done go ahead let's tighten up right that's like
00:26:23.720
that's basically his ministry he's writing churches i'm sorry say that again paul is telling them to
00:26:29.000
tighten up these believers that have already established churches and they've messed them up
00:26:32.840
in various ways yeah exactly he that was yeah that's his message with the corinthians was about
00:26:37.800
that and to the ephesians and he was yeah he was doing a lot of correction i mean he well because
00:26:41.400
all of his most of his epistles are like correcting a bad doctrine but initially he was planning
00:26:46.200
churches he was giving the message of salvation how do you avoid punishment now how do you avoid
00:26:50.120
bad things now it's just by jesus already paid for that so you don't have to do anything to to
00:26:57.600
pay for your sins jesus did that so now this seems super super simple yeah how is this
00:27:07.680
propagated to the extent that who's making these arguments these are these are educated because i'm
00:27:12.520
not and i'm understanding but these people are uh i imagine to some extent some of them are
00:27:20.800
self-proposed christians theologians with with degrees like like uh bart ehrman is another
00:27:25.760
name he's the one that that um i think aaron abel always quotes he he's he's a theologian
00:27:30.080
but here is what i talked about the the false premise but again their premise is that it's
00:27:34.920
the same message so if you if you have that false premise and you're going to see there's a there is
00:27:38.460
a conflict if not a contradiction between the two so you have to pick one well i'm going to pick
00:27:41.960
jesus over paul because jesus was the son of god paul was a man and he was a pharisee before he
00:27:46.680
was that he persecuted the church so he's a bad guy the other so that's what one part the other
00:27:53.080
part is the agenda behind remember i said it's a false premise and an agenda and the agenda
00:27:58.520
is frankly to get us back under the law to get us back in a works-based salvation because people
00:28:05.720
can't handle the freedom that we have under grace because they have the wrong definition of grace
00:28:11.880
if you ask most christians what is grace including myself for most of my life i had to be educated on
00:28:18.280
this the the common definition of grace is unmerited favor that in essence this is the the
00:28:24.400
catholic definition of it and that's probably where that kind of seeped into the to the non-catholic
00:28:28.300
church was that's unmerited favor god gives you the grace just and if you think think about it
00:28:32.740
unmerited favor is actually unjust because you're being given something you don't deserve.
00:28:38.260
Justice means you get what you do deserve. If you get something you don't deserve,
00:28:41.600
it's unmerited. And it actually contradicts the Bible because it talks about grace as something
00:28:47.080
that you can have more of. How do you get more unmerited favor? Unless the only way to get more
00:28:51.660
favor is if you send more. In order to get more of that, you have to send more to get more of
00:28:58.520
god's unmerited favor but but that's not the definition if you actually look at something
00:29:03.020
like you look at blue letter bible any of the um or any kind of concordance the word faith is the
00:29:07.580
greek word charis c-h-r-i-s charis does not mean unmerited favor charis means the divine influence
00:29:13.560
on the heart and its reflection in life it basically means being guided by god that's what
00:29:17.480
grace is so you're saved by grace god guiding you through faith so god if you're if you're a
00:29:24.420
Christian. You're a Christian because you listen to God. God is always talking to everyone,
00:29:28.420
believer and unbeliever. So he gives us all grace. He says that explicitly in the Bible.
00:29:35.480
He gives his grace to everyone. Now, if that's unmerited favor, then that means he's giving
00:29:38.580
everyone unmerited favor. Really? How do you prove that? You can't, but you can prove he's
00:29:42.560
giving everyone grace. He's speaking to everyone. And if you listen to him speaking the message of
00:29:47.860
salvation to you and you believe it by faith, that's your salvation. But grace isn't something
00:29:52.880
that just came upon the church. Grace has always been allowed. We look throughout the Bible from
00:29:58.140
the beginning in different, I don't want to call them the dispensations because people freak out
00:30:02.580
about that, but every era in the Bible, like Adam and Eve, they walked with God in the cool of the
00:30:06.860
day. That was their grace. That was their divine influence. Then after they sinned, they were still
00:30:10.800
offered the opportunity. People could still walk with God, but only Enoch chose to do that.
00:30:15.220
That phrase, Enoch walked with God, it sounds great, but it's actually a scathing indictment
00:30:20.940
of everyone else it was basically like yeah enoch walked with god but everyone else didn't but you
0.63
00:30:24.460
could still do it if you had to choose to and then after babel god got a little further from everyone
00:30:29.980
because god was in the old testament god keeps getting further and further away from man the
00:30:33.580
more they sin after babel god put the the his council of elohim over the nations we see that
00:30:38.940
in deuteronomy 32 so they were the ones who were given the divine influence but of course they all
0.98
00:30:43.500
messed up they all started accepting worship and they became the false gods of the nations
00:30:48.140
And then the law was grace because God said, you're not listening to me.
1.00
00:30:52.700
So I guess I have to write it down for you, idiots, because you're not getting it when I try to talk to you.
0.99
00:30:58.100
So the law was grace. The law was how you communed with God.
1.00
00:31:02.920
That was a divine guidance. And that's what Jesus was under.
00:31:05.840
Jesus was under the law and he was a fulfillment of the law.
00:31:08.400
So it would only make sense that Jesus would express grace by telling people to do the works of the law.
00:31:15.520
jesus fulfilled it so it would be contradictory for paul to have given the same message as jesus
00:31:22.060
because if paul gave the same message of do the will of god and follow the law in order
00:31:26.400
to be saved then paul would be contradicting the the um the salvation that jesus gave us
00:31:32.640
which is to believe based on faith so there's no contradiction there at all
00:31:37.480
it's uh oh hey we got a super chat thank you from uh for james uh for the five dollar super chat
00:31:46.340
for having the good sense to invite ed on again ed is uh like i said earlier at the top of the
00:31:52.620
show the the longest do you do you have any idea how many appearances by this point i mean we we
00:31:57.580
don't number our episodes probably nearing on 100 i'd say i haven't kept track it might be i mean
00:32:03.220
it's it's definitely north of 50 for sure um number one uh most reoccurring reoccurring guest
00:32:10.580
but yeah it does make a lot of sense and the hostility behind it would make a lot of sense
00:32:15.000
to coming from or i guess organize some organized religion because it is kind of a shot in the foot
00:32:20.420
to the traditions of man yeah exactly yeah so that needs to move aside but unfortunately
00:32:25.780
like like a lot of people you know that's a great point this was our issue with like jacob israel or
00:32:30.840
like anybody who kind of like i don't know well this part of the bible is allegorical it's like
00:32:35.400
okay so that move that part aside so the rest of it could fit right right and then when i have
00:32:40.040
choice words to say to you then i'm a bad guy but paul does condemn me as well for the abuse of
00:32:45.280
language was it the spiritually wounding language yeah yeah so i have to adhere to that as well so
00:32:50.100
that's fair right it's all fair but stop doing that right right right right but that is that's
00:32:54.640
a great observation it's moved this out of the way because it gets in the ways of the traditions
00:33:03.480
I was talking about, because that's what we tend to do
00:33:07.460

slash app day. Freedom with one limitation. It's called a conjunctive. So people think,
00:33:52.720
God has all these rules. No, he doesn't. God, and this is how we best operate. Freedom with
00:33:57.360
one conjunctive. Example, you know, back to the Garden of Eden. God said, eat of all the trees
00:34:02.380
except one. So full freedom. You can eat of anything you want except for the one tree. And
00:34:07.400
as long as we obey God's conjunctives, we're fine. But whenever we add something to it, there's a
00:34:11.920
screw up. What did Eve do? When the Nakash asked her, what did God say about eating the tree? She
1.00
00:34:17.460
said, we can eat all the trees except for one. We can't eat it. Oh, and we can't touch it. As soon
00:34:22.280
as you add to it everything gets screwed up and if you look at you know the the next aspect you
00:34:27.740
know when god put um when you know when god gave the um the the the admonition to noah after the
00:34:33.760
flood so you know to go spread out over the world they said okay well we'll spread out but first we
00:34:37.780
want to build a city well you know but so we whenever they do their own thing then that always
0.93
00:34:43.180
adds on to that's an additional limitation but that's what we want to do that's religion
0.61
00:34:47.780
then when with the law the law was perfect but what did the pharisees do the pharisees added
00:34:53.660
the traditions of men on to the law and jesus that's what jesus was always telling like you
00:34:59.160
guys you know you're you know you're white watch tombs filled with dead men's bones because you
00:35:03.380
take the word of god and you and you make it you make you make the word of god of none effect
00:35:07.640
by with the traditions of men you know that's what in the beatitudes i know you guys have talked
00:35:12.820
about this before, where Jesus says, you know, you have heard it said X, but I say Y. He was
00:35:19.680
doing, he was getting rid of all the traditions. You've heard it said of old that, you know, love
00:35:22.960
your neighbor and hate your enemy. She says, no, no, no. You love your enemy too. That's what
00:35:29.320
the law says. The Pharisees added on to that. So every time we add on to something, we screw it up.
00:35:35.700
But it comes from our pride and our desire and our religious desire, our desire to improve upon God.
00:35:41.020
so these people who are if what you will find when you listen to any of their podcasts or videos
00:35:46.460
when they talk about paul is is not doing the will of jesus he's not he has a different message
00:35:51.260
you will eventually come to the idea that they want us back under the law they want us they want
00:35:58.200
more rules right and they want more rules because rules give people power yeah authority it's just
00:36:04.140
more jesus plus we have a jesus plus guy in the chat here kind of blowing it up oh yeah i don't
00:36:09.840
of why he watches this show but apparently disclosure is going to reveal uh well i mean
00:36:14.940
it's a it's a false revelation but go on was part alien and then he goes on to say if your faith
00:36:20.100
can't handle that then buckle up buttercup he doesn't watch the show does it's just basically
00:36:26.060
what the bible says but more like of what you added to it also yeah right at least these guys
0.79
00:36:32.280
are using other parts of the bible this guy's just making shit up but it's the same thing really it's
0.80
00:36:38.260
a hate watch it's yeah yeah it's a sin is what it is it just means that you've missed the mark
00:36:43.660
this guy missed in a much bigger way but these other guys have missed in a smaller way he's not
00:36:49.680
completely incorrect in but except it's going to be an op like that is the op that's coming
00:36:54.020
that's the op that's coming they're gonna do that they're gonna do that and it's gonna cause a lot
00:36:57.880
of people to get all twisted up about what they believe and uh it's actually not an unmanageable
00:37:03.600
thing at all um i'm a high school dropout and uh i find it all very manageable so maybe stick around
00:37:10.560
a little bit if people are having difficulty with all the doctrinal jargon i'm putting out i was
00:37:15.520
putting out i i want i want to repeat an analogy i gave to someone else who had this question and
00:37:20.960
about the two messages and how that how that coalesces in the two different audiences so if
00:37:25.280
you look at salvation heaven in new jerusalem as as a party and i related it to a party that i have
00:37:30.880
A couple weeks ago, Memorial Day, every Memorial Day, we have a pizza party.
00:37:53.320
What do they call the private pies or personal pies?
00:38:27.300
i do for memorial day and labor day every year videos of that i would love to watch that'd be
00:38:32.800
cool i'll do a video next time i'll do a memorial day next time i do have a big party but so the
00:38:38.240
goal is a party so i have a message for the people in my house my wife my kids like you know we got
00:38:43.220
to get the house together you know tell the kids take out the trash get the dishes together clean
00:38:46.400
up vacuum and mop the floor you know my wife is doing her thing in the house together and but the
00:38:51.640
goals of pizza is the party so my message to them is get everything prepared so and i mean and i'm
0.77
00:38:57.620
doing my part i'm cooking and everything now when the people when the guests arrive my wife is a
00:39:01.400
hostess because i'm in the back i'm i'm making pizzas and whatnot my wife is a hostess she tells
00:39:05.080
people coming up different message she says hey come in sit back relax just tell that which one
00:39:09.360
your pizza we'll get it done you just you know sit down and relax so if you were to just look
00:39:14.660
at the message my message versus my wife's my message is do stuff get stuff done prepare the
00:39:21.160
way my wife's messages enjoy the party there's but there's no contradiction because we are both
00:39:28.600
the goal is the party yeah but the difference is i'm talking to two different audiences with
00:39:35.400
two different roles to get us to that party so that's the difference we all enjoy the party we
00:39:39.860
all have pizzas you know my wife and kids have pizzas i have pizza eventually i'm the last one
0.92
00:39:43.580
to get a damn pizza because i'm cooking for everybody that's how it goes but that's so
0.94
00:39:47.580
there's no contradiction between the two messages
0.98
00:39:49.640
because they aren't to the same people for the same reasons
00:39:51.600
so the same thing with the message that Jesus had
00:39:55.560
Messiah to fulfill the law versus the message that Paul
00:40:17.500
ed says you know prepare the way but ed's wife does say enjoy the party i have faith in ed that
00:40:23.240
he's gonna do it you have faith through the grace that you heard yeah i agree i like that uh that's
00:40:29.160
a good example though i like but the people who want to put us back under law are basically saying
00:40:32.760
oh yeah come don't you can't you can enjoy the party but we're she got to come clean up i'm not
00:40:35.940
gonna ask you to clean up at my party if you're a guest yeah but if you don't clean up you're kind
0.99
00:40:40.080
of a piece of shit like if you got to take it i mean i'm gonna clean up beforehand because it's
0.99
00:40:44.600
already been done. We've already cleaned the house. We've already dumped the trash.
1.00
00:40:48.520
We've done that already. So why are you coming? So I guess the better analogy is why are you
00:40:51.380
coming in, re-cleaning when I've already cleaned up? Jesus already fulfilled the law. Why are you
00:40:55.680
coming in to do it again when he's already done it? Wouldn't that be an insult? If I've already
00:41:01.360
done the work and I go, I'm just going to mop over the floor again after you already mopped it. I'm
00:41:05.700
like, dude, I already did this. Go enjoy the damn pizza. Right. You belong at Loyalist College.

qui-gon for the five dollar donation love you uh i don't care about soccer don't don't come on the
00:41:55.480
show and tell me about soccer and he's telling us in european time and that's extra disgusting and
00:42:00.540
soccer is not a real sport and it's more it's an abomination to sports and i'll have no more of
00:42:05.980
that. So I'll keep your money, but don't, don't do it again. I'm not a soccer fan. One of my kids
00:42:11.780
played soccer, which was fine, but it was short. The game was only like, you know, about 15 minutes
00:42:18.080
when he played when he was like five years old and he didn't, he didn't like it anymore. And I'm
00:42:21.760
like, that's my boy. Go play a real sport. Go play some baseball or football or something.
00:42:25.040
That's the sweet spot for, for playing soccer is when you're five, six, seven years old and you're
00:42:29.900
just running around and kicking a ball, kicking a ball because your legs are moving and you go
00:42:34.000
fantastic and then after that you graduate to stuff that requires your hands okay that's how
00:42:39.500
it goes i mean no disrespect to people if you like soccer you know definitely don't be like this
00:42:44.240
disrespect to people who like soccer uh and disrespect to people who play soccer i just
00:42:49.100
don't get it it's boring to me i just like it's it's a one zero scores i mean granted it happens
00:42:55.520
in baseball but there's people are always moving in baseball it's your stuff happening people are
00:42:58.480
hitting stuff with a bat so you're just kicking ball back and forth and then all the flopping i
00:43:02.080
don't like like these guys he's like you know people on the ground and they're like oh i don't
1.00
00:43:07.900
like all the mexicans personally that's really the worst part about it yeah yeah but man it's uh
1.00
00:43:13.520
it's a terrible i can't i don't want to keep wanting to use the word sport but that's not
0.99
00:43:17.700
really the word that you should we just have like a going bet of when the aliens will show up and
00:43:21.640
people seem to think the world cup i seem to think ufc 250 and we're gonna get it we're gonna get it
00:43:27.900
soon for sure um but which which sporting event i mean i would much rather see it at the ufc because
00:43:33.500
it would make it more entertaining i don't want to miss it and i will miss it if it's on soccer
00:43:38.860
totally well i have a just as an aside i have a friend of mine who's who's scottish and he
00:43:41.740
gets so pissed off when i call it soccer it's football no football is what we is what we play
00:43:47.020
when people have to get hurt for real that's what happens and then like european people get involved
00:43:51.420
in the conversation that's how you know it's bad and shouldn't be discussed um really anymore not
00:44:03.060
So the last thing I would bring up on that, we can wrap this part up, is the idea of the Sabbath.
00:44:13.140
So you're the only country in the world that doesn't like soccer.
00:44:15.800
I'm like, yeah, that's another reason why we're, you know.
00:44:24.920
That's not an insult to say that we're the only country that doesn't like soccer.
00:44:28.400
Yeah, you guys are the only people that make sense, is what you just said.
0.98
00:44:32.460
Well, because they're liking soccer more and more.
0.75
00:44:34.620
If you looked at the charts, it's going up, and I don't agree with it.
00:44:38.380
Yes, I want to get one last example, and this is the Sabbath as it relates to, you know, the law versus grace versus, you know, God speaking to us.
00:44:45.620
Because, you know, I don't know if you have any Seventh-day Adventists who listen to the show and who come in.
00:44:49.980
I get some pop up in my comments once in a while who always say, you should be, you know, you got to worship on the Saturday, on Saturday.
00:44:56.900
That's the real Sabbath. And, you know, the Sunday worship was created by the Roman Empire, blah, blah, blah.
0.78
00:45:02.240
But again, they have the wrong definition of what the Sabbath is, because I think the Sabbath rest means that you're supposed to just like lounge around and not do anything.
00:45:09.760
That's not what it is at all. The Sabbath is based on, you know, the seventh day of creation.
00:45:20.820
What he said is I'm going to cease my activity,
00:45:26.660
And for the rest of the Bible, after Genesis chapter two,
00:45:35.880
when the Israelites would emulate what God would do,
0.74
00:45:43.440
for six days, you can do anything you want as long as it's within the law. So conjunctive,
00:45:48.020
do anything you want as long as you're in obedience to the law. On the seventh day,
00:45:51.640
you only do the law. So that's what the Sabbath truly is. So Jesus is called our Sabbath rest.
00:46:00.900
So that means the Sabbath is supposed to be every day, not just on Saturdays.
00:46:05.420
And what does it mean by this Sabbath? The Sabbath means that we're only supposed to do
0.63
00:46:08.600
the will of god through grace through the holy spirit so we're only supposed to be doing what
00:46:13.440
the holy spirit tells us so in a way all the people who want to put extra laws on us this
00:46:17.720
era of grace that we're in where we're led by the holy spirit is actually more restrictive
00:46:21.240
because we we are in an eternal a lifetime of sabbath where we're only supposed to do
00:46:26.680
what the holy spirit tells us every day now we don't because you know none of us are perfect
00:46:30.420
but he's there telling us and leading us so that's an example of why we don't need to try to make
00:46:36.860
salvation more restrictive than it is because it's already restrictive we're we don't have
00:46:41.740
we're supposed to do we can do anything we want as long as the holy spirit tells us to do it
00:46:45.740
because that's what jesus did jesus said i do nothing on my own i only do what the father tells
00:46:50.040
me so right so that's that there is no there is no contradiction in fact and here here's what i
00:46:56.720
don't understand why people don't get even if you have are confused about jesus versus paul and
00:47:00.420
their messages and thinking paul's a false apostle read second was the second peter chapter
00:47:05.040
3 15 where paul calls i'm assuming where peter calls paul his beloved brother the disciples
00:47:13.700
accepted paul as an apostle how can he be a false prophet a false apostle if the people who were
00:47:18.980
with jesus every day um for for three and a half years and apparently did paul fool them no of
00:47:28.440
course not. They knew the words of Jesus better than anyone, and they accepted Paul, and they
00:47:32.160
called him that beloved brother. He was part of the Christian inner circle. And when it came down
00:47:37.780
to the law, we see it in the Council of Jerusalem, where Peter and Paul were actually having this
00:47:42.840
discussion, like, should a Gentile have to be under the law in order to be saved? And it was
00:47:47.060
decided that the only thing that Gentiles had to do was don't even sacrifice to idols and don't
00:47:52.540
commit fornication, both of which have to do with worshiping of the God. So basically, the only thing
00:47:57.180
that we as christians have to do under the law is the is obey the first of the ten commandments
00:48:01.240
have no other god before me for salvation we should we should obey all ten you know don't
00:48:04.820
murder don't steal all that kind of stuff but as far as salvation is concerned the only thing we
00:48:09.380
have to do in order to maintain our salvation is not to worship other gods which would make sense
00:48:13.580
so that's my cap on that so hopefully if any of you are encountering people who are telling you
00:48:20.860
that jesus and paul conflicted or that paul was a false apostle and you shouldn't obey him or
00:48:24.700
shouldn't listen to his his epistles which is a third of the new testament hopefully i've given
00:48:28.640
you some information that will help i think that was really helpful it even i think it even goes
00:48:32.740
further than that like not just does he call uh does uh does peter call paul his beloved brother
00:48:38.960
but like there's a point at which paul is correcting peter like almost condemning him in a way that's
0.76
00:48:45.620
okay step right in front of the camera okay that was weird nobody's out there was that nancy you
00:48:50.640
didn't hear that no it's mason it's so weird somebody dinged the bell out there but nobody's
00:48:54.920
out there you better go up front yeah ghost go check that out yeah so paul uh paul condemns
00:49:01.140
peter go ahead step right in front of the camera again i'm so sorry what was i saying paul condemns
0.82
00:49:09.080
peter for uh not sitting with the gentiles when the jews come around and kind of falling back
00:49:14.240
into his old old ways so he's like this enforcer in a way yeah and i i could understand also why
00:49:24.140
Peter would have been well within his rights to
0.92
00:49:38.220
he was out there telling he was calling balls and strikes
00:49:40.320
and it is what it is oh yeah oh Paul was hardcore
00:49:50.120
calling people oh yeah back and forth he's called the disciples you guys are slow of learning well
1.00
00:49:53.560
yeah that sounds polite but but he really saying you guys are idiots how long have i been with you
1.00
00:49:57.880
i'm with you every day for three years and you guys are still not getting it how dumb are you
1.00
00:50:01.720
that's what jesus is saying and paul was paul was hardcore too he called the galatians fools
0.99
00:50:07.000
why for trying to for being putting themselves back on the law under the law paul said jesus
00:50:12.360
gave you freedom and now you're just basically saying thanks for the freedom jesus but i think
0.75
00:50:15.880
think i want to go back to jail you guys are foolish for doing that and that's what people
00:50:20.420
who want to be under the law order to right after like right afterwards that's one of the points
0.96
00:50:24.420
that top brought up recently where it's like the orthodox church was talking about being
00:50:27.820
you know basically the earliest church yeah and it was like okay so how long did it take for
00:50:34.160
the church to immediately screw up after christ left after you said it from paul it was like
00:50:39.260
right right away this comes from uh seven minutes of freedom maybe an interesting question before
00:50:43.920
we move on to the next topic if transgression of the law is sin and you remove the law and then
00:50:49.180
you remove sin uh so then you don't need a savior question mark uh what are you judged by without
00:50:56.560
the law that's a seems like a kind of a misunderstanding here yes so the law was was
00:51:03.980
given so that people knew what sin was it doesn't say it again what wasn't it was the standard right
00:51:10.540
This is salvation comes by adherence to the law.
00:51:13.720
Before the outside of Jesus, if you wanted to be saved without Jesus dying for your sin, you'd have to obey the law perfectly, which means you would have to never sin.
00:51:21.320
So if you were able to somehow never, ever sin, you would be saved on your own without Jesus.
00:51:26.380
But not unless people are the only one that lived a perfect life, a sinless life.
00:51:29.860
You'd have to do exactly what Jesus did, which is basically, you know, listen to do only what God tells you to do.
00:51:40.020
but we can't obey it we can never live under the law perfectly because we can never not sin
00:51:46.040
and that's why all these people ended up going to like abraham's bosom until uh so right because
00:51:52.400
they believe in the promise of jesus it's no it says that abraham abraham believed and it was
00:51:56.260
accounted unto him righteousness and that's literally like you know like like in in a ledger
00:52:00.340
you know it's like you haven't paid yet but i'm gonna you got a tab and i'm putting i'm putting
00:52:04.920
you on the tab you believe so you'll pay later and with the payment was jesus made the payment
00:52:08.680
but it was it was um attributed it was accounted to him as righteousness not because jesus had come
00:52:14.460
yet so he wasn't saved that's why he didn't go to heaven he went to you know the abraham's bosom
00:52:18.340
in the compartment of hades and so you know so all the all the patriarchs abraham noah daniel
00:52:23.700
dave king david all the all the believers they didn't go to heaven because their sins had not
00:52:28.820
been paid for but but there was an accounting there was a a mark in the accountant's book
00:52:35.520
saying yeah here's i got an iou and jesus will pay your iou now you can go to heaven that's when
00:52:41.040
jesus went when jesus died he led the captivity captive he took them out of abraham's bosom it's
00:52:45.660
okay i've paid for it you believed in it um and now we can go to heaven and that's and that's
00:52:50.700
where they are now that now they're no longer that's that's why when you die you no longer go
00:52:53.680
to haides to the abraham's bosom you go directly to heaven so to answer that part the um your
00:52:58.620
your listener's question. If you obey the law, if you disobey the precepts of the law, you are
00:53:08.580
sinning. Make sure you have to understand what precepts mean. Precepts are different than the
00:53:12.480
ceremonial laws. For example, if you don't observe Passover, I'm not sinning by not observing
00:53:16.600
Passover. That's not the same as the precepts. The precepts are don't steal, don't commit adultery,
00:53:22.980
don't murder, all these different things. Those are the law. And yet, if you obey those all
00:53:27.360
perfectly then you are sinless but no one's going to do that so the law is still in effect
00:53:31.380
but we have the holy spirit telling us what the law is and this is really an important point so
00:53:37.280
i'm glad he brought this up the law treated everyone the same according to the law we were
00:53:41.820
we all have to do the same thing the holy spirit treats us as individuals it treats us uniquely
00:53:48.140
because what might be a sin for you might not what's the sin for you might not be a sin for me
00:53:53.420
because Paul defined sin as that which is not of faith.
00:54:03.180
My level of faith is different than a Christian
00:54:18.480
because it's based on of doing things out of faith.
00:54:28.940
It's like we've talked about profanity before.
0.96
00:54:30.420
You can take the same word and the word fag means, you know, in the U.S.
0.98
00:54:34.980
It's a disparaging term for a homosexual male.
0.99
00:54:37.540
And across the pond in England, it means a cigarette.
0.98
00:54:45.380
It was like this Australian dude who's like trying to unpack the word cunt and how they use it as like good cunt, bad cunt.
1.00
00:54:52.380
like all this stuff but then like a harsh word in america it's like yeah you know like it's such
0.99
00:54:57.440
a crazy word so yeah uh but i guess if it's a stumbling block don't do that australians
00:55:02.480
it's ironic you brought it up because last week i was i was hanging out with a friend he had this
00:55:07.580
this uh this friend of his a lady from australia really really pretty lady blonde gorgeous she
0.51
00:55:12.800
dropping that yeah she was dropping the c word all over the place in a good way like yeah you
00:55:17.360
got some good guns i love that that's hilarious you're hilarious you can't i'm like oh my god
00:55:24.960
that's a really i like that we need some australian people australian people are about
1.00
00:55:29.040
the only silly accented people i can tolerate yeah yeah i don't know what it is they're like
1.00
00:55:33.260
a hard kind of people you know with like she can throw back the beers too good lord and they drink
1.00
00:55:37.940
heavily which i guess i like that um all right so let's let's uh let's move on to this this
00:55:43.580

00:56:14.660
Okay, sure. So last time I was on, we talked about what the Bible says about Cain. And,
00:56:19.900
you know, it's Genesis chapter four is the only narrative about Cain. He's brought up a few other
00:56:25.520
places. Like, you know, Jude talks about, you know, people who go the way of Cain and you'll
00:56:28.560
hear it here and there. But as far as what we know about who Cain was and what he actually did
00:56:48.820
I think one of it is just a natural inclination
00:57:00.500
you know genocide sex trafficking you know doing bad things to children and those are things that
00:57:06.840
those are things like you know most of us don't do it's horrifying now we all sin but you know
00:57:13.780
that's a different level and we want to try to find a way to explain where does this come from
00:57:18.080
what is the origin of of like these huge unspeakable inhumane sins and we have to look
00:57:25.200
for well who who's the so we want to take it back to the bible because whether people want to admit
00:57:29.980
or not, we all believe in the Bible. And that's why people who even claim they don't always use
00:57:34.400
the Bible as a reference. People who don't believe in Jesus say, well, Jesus said this. Well, you
00:57:38.360
don't even believe in Jesus. Well, because you know it's true in your heart. You're rebelling
00:57:41.660
against it. So who's the first bad guy in the Bible, human bad guy? Cain. So they take Cain
0.92
00:57:50.000
and they put all of this stuff on him. Also because there's not a lot said about him. So
00:57:54.840
that leaves it open seemingly leaves it open to to put all the stuff on it's like like when i have
00:58:00.980
my discussion with the little season people any kind of mystery they find and say well that's
00:58:05.080
that must be that must explain why we're in the little season because i can't explain this
00:58:08.400
so that must be a you know because i always ask them okay well if we're in the little season then
00:58:12.940
satan should be gathering the nations deceiving them into into surrounding the camp of the saints
00:58:17.420
in jerusalem so is there a camp of saints in jerusalem you can show me well no but you know
0.55
00:58:22.120
Jerusalem's, it's not, it's not in Israel anymore. It's in the North Pole. Oh, how convenient that
00:58:26.980
it's in the one place we can't go to. Okay. I guess Jesus is in a Bermuda triangle because we
00:58:32.380
can't go there either. But the point is that because there's mystery there, people use this
00:58:38.720
as their way to try to explain, you know, all the evil in the world, as opposed to just looking at
00:58:44.820
the two reasons. Number one, the reason for evil is that, you know, we sinned. Adam and Eve sinned
00:58:49.000
and we are born disconnected from God, from Jehovah, so we aren't in that constant contact
0.90
00:58:54.900
with him. But there is an explanation, an outside explanation for those big evils, and that is the
00:59:00.680
fallen Elohim. Things like wars. People don't want to go to war. The only people who want wars
0.94
00:59:05.260
are the leaders, and the leaders are, basically, they all worship these fallen entities, you know,
00:59:09.560
the kings and queens of the world, the politicians. We know that. We're ruled by a bunch of satanic
00:59:13.660
torpedoes. So those are the people who do that, but they want to find a way to explain it so that
00:59:19.000
we can be good and know other people are bad. So some of the myths that come out of this,
00:59:23.640
one of the first ones that I deal with is the idea that Cain was not the son of Adam and Eve.
00:59:29.720
He's the son of Eve and the serpent, the Nakash in the Garden of Eden.
0.95
00:59:35.580
And they say, well, they euphemize the forbidden fruit. They say, the forbidden fruit is a
00:59:40.660
himself for illicit sex so basically eve was having sex with the serpent that was her eating
0.96
00:59:46.260
the forbidden fruit and she got pregnant with cain and so cain is actually part human part
0.97
00:59:53.220
part serpent because you know the the the dragon of old so he he is the origin of the lizard people
01:00:00.020
the reptilians and all of his descendants are reptilians and they're the ones who've been
01:00:04.900
ruling the world from in the background and you know all the david icky stuff and all it's
01:00:21.340
But, you know, he talks about, you know, these shape-shifting reptilians.
01:00:24.860
And so, well, that's the origin of it from a biblical standpoint.
01:00:31.720
First of all, in the Bible, Hebrew is a very precise language, just like Greek, which I think is great that the Bible was written in those two precise languages.
01:00:39.940
the words that god uses for eating and tree are literally that he's not using euphemisms here this
01:00:46.540
isn't poetry he is saying that he's talking about when you take a fruit and put it in your mouth and
01:00:49.820
chew it that's what he means by eating it and if if eating of the tree meant having illicit sex
0.77
01:00:56.040
with an elohim then what did he mean when he said you can eat of any tree in the garden except for
0.99
01:01:00.980
this one so what's he saying you can have sex with any angel just not that one you can have sex with
1.00
01:01:07.060
yeah you can have sex with any angel except for satan that's a great observation because um you
0.99
01:01:13.340
know if you're going to say that that that is a euphemism this eating of the forbidden fruit is
0.85
01:01:17.720
yeah then it's like well what is the the the you know the declaration that you can eat of any of
0.55
01:01:24.300
the other you can have sex with any of these other creatures i'm interested to see uh what you think
01:01:28.540
about this episode i'll send it to you because it's not yet released but we interviewed this
01:01:32.400
guy named jeb uh jed uh boza boza yeah yeah great dude his idea uh about the primordial origin of
01:01:40.160
satan and it goes back to genesis 1 and he's talking about god creating the earth and then
01:01:47.960
him hovering over the waters waters being this like primordial chaos right yeah basically what
01:01:55.460
he does is separate light from darkness he makes stuff good and he makes stuff bad
01:01:59.520
and what i got from that is like this chaos that he's separated now but he's used it to create
01:02:07.560
but he also has them uh it says later in the new testament that the darkness can't even
01:02:13.820
comprehend the light so it can't it doesn't have access to that you kind of need both of
01:02:17.460
these things to create but if this is a chaos a chaotic water and let's just say this chaotic
01:02:24.240
water was in a stream and let's just say that something grew from it like a tree let's say
01:02:30.600
that's now a chaotic tree of you know a chaotic tree that that grows chaotic fruit he compared
01:02:37.740
it to this idea of like a glitch in the matrix like this thing that shouldn't be and when you
01:02:41.860
insert that into human beings or into anything it has to now be out of this uh heavenly realm
01:02:49.260
and i was like this is actually a very interesting idea yeah that's that's one of those um
01:02:54.220
i i highly recommend yeah we'll say i probably botched it but you should yeah you should check
01:02:58.460
it out both every time something good like that comes along i i have like oh i want ed's thoughts
01:03:03.460
on this and i want matt's thoughts on this so i've been pestering matt like you know you got
01:03:07.100
to listen to this episode because he was citing scripture and he was showing you the the original
01:03:12.960
greek and hebrew translations for the words and everything like really solid in other words i
01:03:18.740
couldn't fault the dude like you know not that i know whether or not he's correct or incorrect but
01:03:24.240
i certainly couldn't fault him for coming to those conclusions because i was like oh yeah i see how
01:03:27.760
you got there like i could see it was very clear how he got there so i'd be interested i'll check
01:03:31.720
it out but one thing i'm seeing is impossible as we talked about before whenever you see a conflict
01:03:35.100
there's there's probably it might be a premise that you have wrong and i think a premise that
01:03:39.540
he might have wrong is the idea that god created evil or that god can create evil and you can't
01:03:46.020
actually an oxymoron if you know what the definition of evil is evil is destruction
01:03:52.180
you can't create a destruction destruction is an effect of of what you do something good so god
01:03:57.940
didn't say i'm going to make evil you can't it's like saying i'm going to make darkness you can't
01:04:01.300
darkness it's a measurement of the absence of light evil is what happens when there's when when
01:04:06.260
when good isn't there so god only created good now good can be corrupted but he didn't he didn't make
01:04:13.620
a satan he didn't say i'm gonna make a bad guy first of all number one he didn't do that because
01:04:18.260
that would be impossible god is light and there's no darkness in him at all god cannot create
01:04:22.260
darkness god is 100 light darkness can go when light is can be can come into play when light is
01:04:28.660
absent so what created darkness what creates that then the absence of light when when when light
01:04:36.100
withdraws when God withdraws by definition darkness grows so my my
01:04:42.160
thought on that and is it happens in my Genesis series is that um the that
01:04:48.100
primordial darkness they talk about that chaos he's correct that is called chaos
0.97
01:04:51.220
it's called the Mayim it's chaotic waters that was the effect of a
01:04:56.660
primordial rebellion that happened and it called that let God to read that to
01:05:01.160
that let God to withdraw his light God created everything perfect he created
01:05:05.800
the Elohim first, there was a rebellion with this entity called Leviathan. When it says God was
0.85
01:05:10.460
hovering over the face of Teom, the darkness, that word for the deep is the word Teom, which
01:05:18.020
in Ugaritic, in Sumerian, means Tiamat. Tiamat is a seven-headed dragon. God is standing over
01:05:24.600
in a victory pose over this dragon, the seven-headed dragon who fell. Some people say it's
01:05:31.380
Satan. I don't think that was the entity. I think it's a different entity. Why? Because Satan's in
01:05:35.400
garden of eden the garden of eden was a garden was on the mountain of god evil cannot be in the
01:05:39.960
presence of god i believe that satan fell when he lied when he came to eve and said he asked her a
01:05:47.720
question and then he lied he said a truth and a lie he said if you eat this you will know good
01:05:51.640
and evil but you won't die that was a lie that was the first lie ever told so that's why he that's
01:05:58.440
why i believe that's when he fell and god cursed him but they have the primordial chaos that was
01:06:03.400
not produced by god god made everything good but he also gave the angels initial free will
01:06:10.520
angels have free will until until you're judged you have free will once you're a judge you no
01:06:13.880
longer have free will so they decided to rebel for we can get into the i have my some theories
01:06:18.360
on the reasons but for whatever reason they a section of them rebelled and there was a judgment
01:06:24.680
and that darkness was a result of the judgment so so satan didn't grow out of the darkness
01:06:33.480
it's such an interesting and you get and one more one more thing about evil people i get this all
01:06:43.140
the time well if god knew satan was going to sin why did god make him well again that's a false
01:06:49.160
premise that false premise is that god knew he didn't and this is something that really messes
01:06:54.940
a lot of christians up because they have this idea of the ominous that you get from calvinism
01:06:59.440
that god is um omnipotent omnipresent and omniscient that he knows everything god knows
01:07:05.600
everything but the true definition of that is god has all the information that exists
01:07:11.280
god does not have information that doesn't exist why because it doesn't exist
01:07:15.680
and you know what doesn't exist the the choice i'm going to make tomorrow i haven't made it yet
01:07:22.880
god did not know that satan was going to sin he could know his tendency but god didn't know that
01:07:27.600
because if god knows everything we're gonna do before we do it then there's no such thing as free
01:07:30.480
will we can only have free will if we have if if if that's a mystery and in this and before you
01:07:36.400
say this is sacrilege look at going back to the sacrifice of isaac when when um when abraham
01:07:44.640
raised his hand up to to plunge a knife into into um into isaac god stopped him he sent an angel
01:07:51.040
and he said to him now i know that you would not withhold your son for me wait a minute what do
01:07:56.160
to me now i know that's god saying i didn't know beforehand he was testing his faith he didn't know
01:08:01.620
he said abraham i don't know if abraham's gonna do this for me maybe he will maybe he won't let
01:08:05.760
me let me see god doesn't know who's good god doesn't know who's going to choose him or who's
01:08:10.840
not going to that's why jesus said for god's love loved the world that he gave his only begotten son
01:08:14.420
that whosoever believes he doesn't know who that's our choice he says so god for god's love
01:08:23.280
the world that you know 3 billion and 28 people will be safe he didn't know he doesn't know how
01:08:26.580
many people are going to be saved we have free choice and that and i know there's some christians
01:08:31.020
who are probably not happy with what i just said and don't believe it i understand i didn't believe
01:08:35.840
it at first either i had to be dragged kicking and screaming to this but think about it would
01:08:40.260
it make sense if god knows everything we're going to do before we do it do we have free will and if
01:08:46.020
we don't have free will then we can't choose if we can't choose then we can't love we can't love
01:08:54.660
At the very least, it's something to think about.
01:08:59.160
That's a stupid way to approach a subject like this
1.00
01:09:12.260
because yeah, it's something that I know you have told me,
01:09:18.960
And now I have to put them up next to each other.
01:09:20.780
You know, it's been a long time since I had anything comparative to like, be like, does this, would this even make sense or fit?
01:09:26.880
Yeah. And the idea that, that God knows everything past, present and future that brings up, that's, that's when you start having contradictions. That's when things don't make sense because then that makes God responsible for evil.
01:10:06.900
I can change my mind and God can't enter cannot justly interfere with that because if he does
01:10:12.200
then I don't have a choice anymore so it's heavy but yeah especially within the context of of um
01:10:21.520
you can't make somebody love you right that one seems very obvious to me um and then and then of
01:10:29.440
course if we have free will like how could we have free will and you can only love somebody with free
01:10:33.840
will. So, you know, you've got to square those things one way or another. And if you're saying
01:10:39.940
that God knows all, knows everything that you're going to do, you know, it's all pre, I mean,
01:10:45.800
it's very Calvinistic, right? Predeterminism. Then how could you have the free will required
01:10:52.760
to choose to follow God? It's never a choice then. And then that means that some people
01:10:58.080
are predetermined to never choose God. So some people are just dead set on, you know,
01:11:03.500
everlasting torment or whatever the expression would be um it that doesn't make a whole lot of
01:11:08.840
sense the whole thing makes much more sense with free will with choosing um even the idea of of
01:11:16.700
of you know salvation coming through faith uh is a is a gift that is given freely but you still
01:11:23.740
have to choose to accept that gift you know uh or standing at the door and knocking but you have to
01:11:30.260
open the door then you choose to open the door so the the whole predeterminism doesn't make a
01:11:37.200
whole lot of sense mechanically speaking you know functionally speaking no if calvinism is true then
01:11:42.060
it's god's fault that people are in hell because he he just said before okay you're going to heaven
01:11:46.280
you're going to hell bye there's nothing you can do about it because it's predetermined no matter
01:11:49.960
what i know you can't be saved ever that that makes god the bad guy and then that gives you
01:11:57.400
So when people get upset and they go, God is the demiurge or God is this and that.
01:12:00.880
And it's like, well, yeah, if you're dealing with that understanding of things, then I could see how you would characterize that.
01:12:07.320
You would come to a conclusion that, you know, God is evil.
01:12:20.340
Everyone who's going to everyone who spends their eternity separated from God is there for one reason, because they rejected an invitation.
01:12:28.580
It's going to be the greatest party in the world
01:12:46.480
And that's why he put the tree of good and evil
01:12:49.160
Of the knowledge of good and evil in the garden
01:12:55.280
And they couldn't love him if they didn't have the option not to
01:13:01.500
You couldn't eat every tree just only to this one
01:13:03.540
That's all you gotta do is just not eat of one tree
01:13:23.620
Yeah, the idea of having a choice. And also, I don't know, the idea of suffering,
01:13:30.380
it's kind of weak to me. Why would God allow this thing? I was like, I don't know. It's part
01:13:35.420
of the story, man. This is part of what we're doing here. It is. It's a tough question. Why
01:13:41.860
do we suffer? First of all, God is not his will. But you have to ask, how could he stop it justly?
01:13:50.300
God could heal everybody tomorrow if you wanted to
01:14:17.080
start up to God. You can do this for me because God cannot act outside of justice. It has to be
01:14:23.180
a petitioner and it has to be enough justice on our side for God to move on our behalf. So if
01:14:27.000
your prayers aren't getting answered, you might have to ask yourself, am I on the right side of
01:14:30.380
justice? Right. Uh, we have a $5 super chat from FJ fool. Let's read this to clearing the end from
01:14:37.820
the beginning from ancient time, ancient times, things that are not yet done saying my counsel
01:14:42.640
shall stand and i will do all my pleasure right so i i get that i know what he's saying he's saying
01:14:48.120
that because i've said that that you know um about the future and god can't can't can't doesn't know
01:14:53.780
what we're going to do but understand what he said god knows what he's going to do so god can so
01:14:58.680
because this is the the seeming contradiction with what i just said is well if god doesn't know what's
01:15:03.360
going to happen next how can he predict the future like revelation and so forth he didn't say that
01:15:07.860
he predicts every that everything that he sees everything would happen he said he talks specifically
01:15:12.500
about his will god can definitively say what he's going to do in the future so if you look at the
01:15:17.220
prophecies in revelation they're all about god's gonna do this god's gonna you know have the
01:15:20.900
trumpet judgments god's gonna pour out the bowls of wrath god's gonna judge this so he can say what
01:15:26.020
he's gonna do in the future and he can say in a big picture sense what we're going to do in the
01:15:30.980
sense that he can say that people will follow the antichrist because he knows our nature he can't
01:15:36.740
say who specifically he's going to but he has experience that we will we human beings will
01:15:42.420
always go after a false god and the antichrist will be a false god so he can say that a lot of
01:15:49.140
people will follow the antichrist he also says a lot of people will be saved he says that there
01:15:53.620
are a number that no man can number that come out of the tribulation he so he knows god knows causes
01:15:59.460
and and the and the effects that come from the causes and he can predict what he's going to do
01:16:03.620
He can predict what the fallen angels are going to do because they don't have free will anymore.
01:16:07.380
And he can predict effects based on the causes.
01:16:13.440
So God can say, I'm going to pour out seven bowls of wrath in the future because he's in control of that.
01:16:24.680
It's like it's a it's a lot to wrap your head around still.
01:16:29.420
I think it's, you know, how Matt talks about the triune nature of the Godhead, right? Like, this idea that we can understand that there is a man in the Godhead, that there is three elements to this being, that we're trying to wrestle with something that exists outside of space and time and, you know, our reality.
01:16:51.600
um it's it's not something that i think this is why the bible warns not to lean on your own
01:16:57.520
understanding too because it's like if you're so adamant and not at some point laying this at the
01:17:03.120
feet of god and and you know uh being patient and and you know asking for understanding from
01:17:09.100
the holy spirit or any of these things uh you're going to come to a bunch of messed up conclusions
01:17:14.740
and we see that i think these kinds of things are what gives birth to you know that thing that i
01:17:21.000
mentioned before this idea of of uh of the demi urge or or you know um yeah you know the prison
01:17:27.660
planet or the old testament god is not uh anything to do with the new testament that this is a demon
01:17:34.780
and all these things like it's like despite the fact that the same god of the old testament is
01:17:39.420
the god that prophesies the coming of jesus christ you know however many times um somehow
01:17:45.460
it's not the same it's not the same god yeah that's what's so annoying about these jesus only
01:17:50.460
people and by that i mean the people who say i only read the gospels i don't read any other parts
01:17:54.380
of the bible or somebody say i'll go as far as to say i only read the words in red the words of
0.92
01:17:59.740
jesus i'm like that's so idiotic because what without the old testament we wouldn't even know
0.76
01:18:04.780
who the messiah was there are over 300 prophecies of jesus in the old testament how can you only
0.99
01:18:09.180
read the words in red and think you have a full picture of the will of god you won't know it if
01:18:14.620
If you just read the Gospels, Jesus Christ is the fulfillment of the promises given to Abraham.
01:18:21.020
So, you know, the idea that you would omit, it's like, OK, so the whole thing is talking about this thing that happens.
01:18:28.940
And then the New Testament is this thing that happens and its implications.
01:18:32.800
And for some reason, you don't want to see any of or understand any of what was talking about this, this event coming to pass.
01:18:42.380
But I think it's because people can't figure out how to square it.
01:18:46.080
You talked about, you know, presuppositions and agendas and such.
01:18:52.660
So by the time I got here and started looking at it, the real simple stuff like, why is God such a meanie?
01:19:00.980
I could see how that would be a really big stumbling block for people.
01:19:04.620
Right. Why is God saying to go in there and wipe out the Amalekites and everything?
1.00
01:19:07.660
you know like i get that that seems cruel but by the time i arrived i already had the context of
01:19:14.200
the nephilim and all this other stuff so i didn't have any of those issues but i i could see if you
01:19:19.600
didn't have that context just trying to understand this especially through the the lens that maybe
01:19:23.980
like the church gives you they don't have a lot of answers you just go that doesn't make any sense
01:19:26.880
dog he's just killing these kids and everything he's killing everything the livestock wipe out
01:19:30.760
everything everything like yeah that could that could be difficult so it could be something like
01:19:35.960
yeah but yeah so so just omit the whole thing it's also kind of like uh i don't know this might
01:19:41.960
not be an apt uh um comparison but in the legal system let's say ed's on trial i might have an
01:19:49.800
entire an entire book of the whatever ed did like from a to z pertaining to the proposed crime but
01:19:59.160
the judge decides what is admissible to the jury what they're allowed to see right so there could
0.95
01:20:05.740
be this idea of like because uh fj fool was quoting jeremiah you know like you knew me before
01:20:11.020
you knew every word i was gonna say before i was born and i i agree with that it's like yeah he
0.69
01:20:15.240
does he can but if we're gonna have justice here is he can he look at that while you're playing
01:20:23.600
this out you know what i mean i suppose you can because he's god but he doesn't because it wouldn't
01:20:27.600
be just so it's a maybe the answer is yes yes and yes does he know everything does he know what
01:20:35.500
you're going to do yeah he could but that wouldn't be justice it would have to be withheld from the
01:20:41.820
jury in order for them to make an accurate decision on the judgment of your life that's
01:20:46.100
got to be played out and we have to come to the table with the stuff that you actually did
01:20:49.700
not me looking and saying all right well that's how it went so i i don't know it's a very complex
01:20:54.860
question it is but yeah it is a very complex uh complex question and a lot of these
01:21:00.840
misunderstandings really come from what I was saying before about having a false premise.
01:21:05.600
And if the false premise is that God knows everything that ever will happen,
01:21:09.160
again, I think that creates more problems than it actually solves. And or the idea that God
01:21:13.920
can't ever change his mind. And he does. There's evidence in the Bible where, for example, when
01:21:18.580
Moses goes up onto the mountain after the Israelites are freed from Egypt, and he comes
01:21:25.120
down there worshiping the golden calf, and God is mad. He says, you know what? I've done all
01:21:29.360
these things for these people and i'm gonna just i'm just gonna wipe them all out moses and i'm
0.99
01:21:33.580
gonna start a new nation with you he was gonna do that but moses said no don't because i don't that
0.98
01:21:38.500
won't make you look good to the you know to the rest of the world that's okay but but and so god
01:21:43.620
changed his mind but god's will was was right because what happened that generation died out
01:21:48.920
anyway because they wouldn't go into the promised land and so they wandered for 40 years and it just
01:21:53.160
made it worse go they if if god had done what he wanted to do and got rid of them early instead of
01:21:57.980
waiting 40 years, they would have gone into the promised land earlier. And who knows the descendants
01:22:02.480
of Moses might've been much better Israelites, much better Jews than the ones who ended up going
0.99
01:22:07.400
in there. So who knows how the Bible would have turned out if Moses had said, okay, God, do your
0.88
01:22:11.880
will, wipe them out. We'll start over again with my descendants. I'm really excited for you to
0.88
01:22:19.140
watch this episode because one of the things that this guy did bring up, and it's slightly off
01:22:24.060
subject but i think it it'll funnel back in he was talking about the uh the length the duration
01:22:29.780
of being in hell and he actually pulled up some scripture about the aeons the translation of the
01:22:36.740
greek how the eight times where it's referred to as eternal it's referred to as aeon but it's a
01:22:43.700
mistranslation and it's only done eight times within the same word i when you watch the episode
01:22:48.880
you'll you'll be able to go and check for yourself okay every other time it's expressed as a duration
01:22:54.720
of time a finite time a long time but has a beginning and an end when they're talking about
0.65
01:23:00.420
hell later on it's expressed as a no end but now just follow me this might be stupid and i don't
0.95
01:23:09.040
know i'm stupid um if god if i knew that at the end let's say and he described hell as a refiner's
01:23:19.240
fire which is a again interesting idea and i don't i'm not sure if i adhere to this at all
0.87
01:23:23.980
but it has been something that i kicked around for a little bit where it's like what kind of
01:23:29.140
earthly sin can you commit to have eternal punishment and that is a that is a fair question
01:23:35.720
when we're talking about justice um do people get punished do they go through a fire or a
01:23:41.580
fire in order to and also does god just discard what is his like if if he's he's created you
01:23:48.100
does he just burn you and you stay over there does he discard that forever these are questions
0.91
01:23:52.840
that i that i ask also um but if he knows in the end yeah yeah you're gonna you're gonna burn up
01:24:02.040
you're going to come back more refined i don't need to look at what you're doing right now like
01:24:07.360
if we know the end play out your story that's your choice man what do you want to do yes sir
01:24:14.200
there's a lot there and it's probably heretical probably no no it's not that no there's nothing
01:24:19.880
about asking questions now when you come to conclusions and say you know this is the truth
01:24:24.320
now you're getting into problems making statements questions there's nothing there's never anything
01:24:27.600
wrong with asking questions i ask them all the time and they're way out there like the stuff
01:24:31.280
i've thought about and asked about that i am not even ready even remotely ready to bring into faith
01:24:35.780
by reason or anything like that but one thing you said and this is just to you know keep your mind
01:24:40.860
on the idea of we make god responsible for things that he's not responsible for he said you know god
01:24:46.640
made me did he whose decision was it to to to give birth to top lobster your mom and dad god didn't
01:24:55.360
make them do it that a sperm fertilized an egg now granted and it started growing got so you can
01:25:03.560
make the argument that that you know god was forming you but he did but but did he initiate
01:25:09.760
your creation but that's my body like my body was made by my physical parents and we're like
01:25:14.860
you know i'm body spirit and soul they didn't make that people try to make clones all the time and
01:25:19.900
they can't undo a spirit into it unless it's some sort of weird demonic activity i like to assume
01:25:25.120
that my spirit is come from God, like a touch of the divine. And then I'm put into this body.
01:25:30.740
And then I can agree with that. But I get back to the fundamental question, though. But if your
01:25:34.880
parents had decided, you know, on the night you were conceived, I got a headache. I don't feel
01:25:38.520
like it. Well, maybe God said, we need a top lobster, but oh, she has a headache. Darn it.
01:25:44.500
Oh, well, guess I have to go with Raven. So I guess, again, this is kind of getting metaphysical,
0.99
01:25:50.720
who's i mean whose decision was who who's who decided your creation yes god had a hand in it
01:25:56.220
after it was decided after the you know the zygote and he had whenever it is that god puts the spirit
01:26:02.180
but i'm saying if i'm born one day after the day i was born am i the same person right i don't know
01:26:08.580
yeah these are the questions i mean that's a good question i'm just saying that just keep in mind
01:26:11.880
that you know a lot of these things are in flux and they're kind of fluid in that sense
01:26:14.500
um but as far as because we talked about hell and some of my ideas about hell and when we did the
01:26:20.640
Revelation series. But when we talk about the fire and we have this idea that it's going to be
01:26:26.320
so painful because it's just, when we get burned, if you've ever been burned, I have it, it hurts
01:26:30.460
like hell, no pun intended. But what hell is a separation from God. And my premise is that heaven
01:26:40.560
is hotter than hell because God is 100% light. And that's going to be the energy, the heat that
01:26:46.580
we were made for i think the torment of hell is knowing that you were spending eternity being
01:26:52.080
less than what you were intended to be that is a torment it's not oh my god i'm on fire and i'm in
01:26:55.980
constant pain maybe it will be i don't know but what i think because if if it's colder then that
01:27:01.020
means that you're you were made for a thousand degrees that's where you feel best now you're in
01:27:06.880
like 500 degrees it's still hot remember spirit we're not gonna be there in body that's the other
01:27:12.040
thing when you think about you know hell is burning my skin you're not gonna have skin you're not
01:27:15.920
going to have organs you're a spirit so what does it feel like for a spirit to be in torment for
01:27:21.940
whatever period of time i can look up when i'll watch the episode and see what he means by aeon
01:27:25.860
or whatever but i do know it's it's the words eternal and everlasting are used refiner's fire
01:27:32.060
in the bible is actually used as far as what we're going through here on earth we're being
01:27:37.020
here through spiritual fire i have i'll look it up i'll try to look it up again but i don't i've
01:27:42.220
never seen um hell referred to as refining fire don't take anything i just said right now as an
01:27:50.640
attributed to what he said okay bad paraphrasing he was here yesterday or the day before yeah i'm
01:27:55.920
still i don't have all like the beats but i'm trying to express to you a little bit about
01:28:00.340
it was what i will say is uh knowing what i know and talking to you for so long and all these other
01:28:07.720
great people that i talked to when he spoke to us i was like something is interesting so that
01:28:12.120
at the very that's it that's all i'm saying well no i'm always interested in hearing i mean i and
01:28:16.020
i'll i will be i'll be happy to watch it and give my thoughts maybe next time on because i i'm i'm
01:28:22.380
blocking off more time so i think friday still do work for me a little later like right around
01:28:26.160
this time when we started like 12 my time or maybe a little after but i know you guys it's more it's
01:28:31.660
a little more inconvenient for you because it's later in the day but i'll try to be on more
01:28:34.720
regularly oh no do we do we want to bring it for a landing or do you want to talk one more cane myth
01:28:39.660
um we have time for another game if you want to bring it in because i have a bunch you already
01:28:45.040
know any time whatever man yeah yeah yeah we're down okay appreciate it but and if you go to my
01:28:52.180
patreon if you're one of my patrons you will it's already on it's already there it'll be on faith
01:28:56.180
that reason.net soon to full like i think it's like half hour 40 40 minutes i'll go through all
01:29:00.020
of them but another one is the mark of cain that's another mystery because the bible isn't clear what
01:29:04.720
this mark of kane is um people put all their weird theories on it and one of the theories about that
01:29:11.280
the mark of kane is skin color yeah yeah i've heard this before uh white like a pale skin yeah
01:29:17.940
either pale or dark depending on on which side of the racism divide you're on if you're if you're a
0.91
01:29:24.380
dark-skinned racist then the mark of kane was white skin if you're a white racist and the mark
01:29:28.280
of kane was dark skin yes yeah yeah okay i hear what you're saying yep and so all kane's descendants
0.98
01:29:36.580
no, I'm good because I'm part of the good descendants
01:29:49.920
and thinking that they're inferior for whatever reason.
01:29:54.280
Number one, Bible doesn't say what the mark of Cain is.
01:29:59.900
And let's say it was, let's say for the sake of argument,
01:30:02.800
it was skin color so what the mark was only on cain it didn't go to his descendants so when he
01:30:07.760
had kids there's nothing that would lead you to believe that they had the mark because the mark
01:30:10.880
was specifically so that anyone who encountered him would not put extra judgment on on him because
0.99
01:30:16.480
god already judged him so anything extra so if you saw cain and you like you know kick the crap out
01:30:22.080
of him for killing abel well what what you're doing is saying well god your punishment wasn't
0.98
01:30:26.080
enough i'm gonna kick crap out of this guy um you're just so that's that's disobedience to god
0.97
01:31:02.280
Now, some people come back and say, well, what about the wives?
01:31:03.980
What about Noah's wife and the wives of his three sons?
01:31:12.820
So they're under the line of Seth because of Moses.
0.87
01:31:19.740
All of the line of Cain, all the seed of Cain died in the flood.
01:31:26.320
so that kind of so it's so it's all kind of you know uh it's all academic because they're not
01:31:32.860
here anymore the only people all of us we are descendants of noah actually that's funny because
01:31:38.740
i i know that there are various groups like i think the the black hebrew israelites will use
01:31:44.360
like the mark of cain to say that white people and i i you know i went to school with some of
01:31:49.640
those guys i i was they were they were with me in college i was like i i it was fascinating but
01:31:55.100
like yeah it's just so full of crap but i i like your stories are interesting yeah yeah yeah yeah
0.59
01:31:59.180
um well we always joked around and said um because they're so obtuse that it would be hilarious
0.85
01:32:05.900
and i almost wouldn't be surprised if it turned out like no that's actually yeah
0.94
01:32:09.400
they were the israelites and i'd be like yep all right there you go that checks out i just don't
01:32:14.300
understand why everybody wants to be an israelite when we talked about this before there's no reason
01:32:18.040
oh i'm i'm the real i'm i'm the law i'm one of the last 10 tribes like okay why the promises
01:32:23.840
to the church are so much better than the promises to israel and also like to say we sucked really
01:32:29.680
bad in the past you know what i mean like we're the ones that were constantly worshiping false
01:32:33.980
idols and such yeah um yeah mind tripping paul stops outside of the he's like he's like oh you're
01:32:39.680
basically everything different than paul stops well he's saying you get a theory you get a theory
01:32:43.920
it's like everybody's got a different thing i just think it's funny it's like little seasoned
01:32:47.440
believers they do get upset but this is all they do i think this is what this discussion is about
01:32:52.740
whether we're talking about hell or we're talking about the the nature of uh the knowledge of god
01:32:58.140
if you get some of these things wrong the rest of your theology that branches off from it
01:33:02.940
it's going to be super crazy yeah you you can go way up that but that's like sinning right like
01:33:07.840
missing the mark yeah yeah i'm open to my theory being wrong i'm open to all my theories being
01:33:14.440
wrong if it's not um directly in the bible i'm open to it being wrong it's like i think the
01:33:19.160
little season is wrong i don't think that i've never met paul stops i don't i'm not saying he's
01:33:23.400
a bad person i'm not saying jt's a bad person or whoever else i'm just saying i don't agree with
01:33:27.480
your theory and here's why and if someone comes to me and says ed your theory is wrong and here's
01:33:30.840
why the bible proves it's wrong thank you yeah i'm not i'm not throwing shade at them he's like
01:33:36.380
he's not a little seasoner i'm just making the observation that it's interesting as uh one of
01:33:42.800
your beliefs how one of your beliefs informs the others well that's how denominations happen right
01:33:47.160
that's how they accused us of that in the youtube comments and i was like i'm not trying to start a
01:33:52.860
new denomination they're like we get it you don't like the way this church does it and you don't
01:33:58.620
like the way this and i was like yeah but i don't i just don't like that and they're like well you're
01:34:02.580
going to start a new church and i was like i'm not trying that so the the letters to the seven
01:34:06.280
churches were about starting denominations you know how many of them were judged uh very harsh
01:34:10.720
five out of seven or not writing four four yeah actually yeah four out of seven no only two had
01:34:17.480
nothing bad said about them so five out of seven five out of seven judged very harshly so the point
01:34:21.800
with denominations like no it's it's calling a spade a spade when something is bad about a thing
01:34:26.620
you you address that thing and if if something is good about it you address that as well as as good
01:34:31.700
but that's what it is it's like you got this right and you got this wrong you know it's yeah exactly
01:34:36.140
And I've had to change several of my theories because people have called it out to me and I had to be open to it.
01:34:43.180
And again, it's not easy being told you're wrong.
01:34:46.380
And I wouldn't say that when something wrong is pointed out that I'm instantly like, yeah, no, I agree.
01:34:54.620
And then I'll say, okay, my theory on the rapture.
01:34:58.180
I grew up being like hardcore pre-trib and nothing else for most of my life.
01:35:02.200
Then someone came along and they said, hey, check this out.
01:35:05.280
And I was like, nah. And it took a few, it took a couple of years and I'm like, okay, well, I've got it. They have a good point. Their point makes more biblical sense than mine. So I had to change it. It was uncomfortable, but it's not about being right. I mean, it's not about your theory being right. It's about God being right and being closer and being more righteous by being closer to God.
01:35:22.660
So, yeah, we all have theories. I don't care if mine are wrong. Great. Show me where I'm wrong. Show me. Well, that's the thing, man. If we're in this game of theories in some way, because we're people who are interested in in the truth and we're interested in ideas and and, you know, we have imaginations. We're trying to bring this thing to life. We're going to start thinking about, well, what if and does this mean this?
01:35:44.900
And, you know, we're going to have questions. And what I can guarantee you is if you are that type of person, you're going to be wrong. You're going to be wrong. There's no way in hell. I've been wrong for so many, like so many things. I mean, if I look back to half the crap I believed 15 years ago, I've killed off so much. I mean, so it's just it's a matter of being a fallible human being. And you said it right. You get into trouble when you start saying this is true.
01:36:13.660
this thing that i've theorized is now something that is is true and you you know and you start
01:36:18.480
telling other people that this is the truth that that's a problem but to say i think because i've
01:36:23.540
wondered if like yeah that's that's that's fine man um and but you could definitely see how that
01:36:29.720
kind of thing leads to all the denominations and all that other crap it's a it's a wild never-ending
01:36:34.100
branch exactly and like i said about top a few minutes ago when he said you know i was created
01:36:37.800
by god i say well i didn't say you weren't i said well let's ask the question did god create you or
01:36:43.020
wasn't your parents and that's an open question i could be wrong with that maybe god said you know
0.56
01:36:46.620
i need a top lobster boom there he goes i'm gonna i'm gonna put on some marvin gay and and put play
01:36:50.900
that in the in the ears of top's mom it actually is what your mom said was playing i actually
0.64
01:36:56.140
phrased my i don't want to dox date dox myself never mind i won't say well i just did my brain
0.61
01:37:01.560
on marvin gay so that's funny i figured out i was like was this a holiday where you guys smashed
01:37:06.500
very rude to ask oh you did the math on it i did the math and i was like hold on a second
01:37:41.600
so i'm sorry this is not part of the what no i mean what i that was it was a uh you know like
01:37:52.620
where they keep animals in cages this show is this show is not about it's not about god
01:37:58.460
it's not about conspiracy it's about figuring out the what little pieces of david's upbringing i
01:38:04.480
can put together and to really understand who he is as a human being yeah yeah i remember that
01:38:10.140
that's actually something i didn't think about very often but you guys mentioned that and i
01:38:13.780
remember that story coming up and it was uh that's a story for an f2 america get that together yeah
0.96
01:38:20.000
so i think on that note i think we need to bring this in for a landing now that we know that
0.98
01:38:26.460
that raven was conceived in a monkey cage i don't know where it was man i just know it was in like
01:38:33.880
one of the the ones that was a big one in new york uh the bronx zoo in the bronx i think so yeah
01:38:38.820
