A man who was a rapist and murderer did not receive gender affirming care before he was executed by the state of Florida. Also, a member of the World Economic Forum is dreaming up the possibility of an artificial intelligence authored religious text that would replace the Bible. We ve got all of this and more, including some serious and some very fun at the end.
00:00:00.000The ACLU is lamenting the fact that a man who was a rapist and a murderer did not receive quote unquote gender affirming care before he was executed by the state of Florida.
00:00:15.280Also, a member of the World Economic Forum is dreaming up the possibility of an artificial intelligence authored religious text that would replace the Bible.
00:00:28.660Cool. We've got all of this and more, some serious and then some very fun at the end.
00:00:33.800So you'll want to stick around for that.

00:00:51.440Hey, guys, welcome to Relatable. Happy Thursday.
00:00:54.120Hope everyone is having a lovely week so far.
00:00:57.600So a couple of things right off the top. Be praying for one of Votie Bauckham's kids.
00:01:03.300He had an injury yesterday, which is why kind of in the middle of the interview that we were recording, unfortunately, he had to go to take care of that emergency.
00:01:11.580But we've been in touch since then. He said everything is OK.
00:01:14.780It's a pretty minor in the grand scheme of things injury.
00:01:17.560But just make sure that you're praying for Dr. Bauckham and his family and his one of his kids that was unfortunately injured.
00:01:25.460But because I know that you guys love him so much and we have something really interesting to talk about, I will have him back on as soon as we can reschedule that.
00:01:34.780So keep them in your thoughts. Keep them in your prayers.
00:01:38.440A couple other things that I wanted to mention.
00:01:42.000We've got a promotion going on on BlazeTV.com or Blaze Merch, I think, is the is the link.
00:01:51.800Blaze Merch dot com you. But you can go to Allie Merch dot com.
00:01:55.540Allie Merch dot com to get my specific merch.
00:02:07.700And this is in honor of Roe v. Wade being overturned on June 24th, 2022.
00:02:16.220I cannot believe it has already been a year.
00:02:18.640Praise God. Praise the Lord for justice after years and years of prayers and work and effort, both in the public and the private, the political and the personal spheres,
00:02:31.940working so hard to ensure justice and the possibility of protection through legislation of the dignity and the right to life of unborn children.
00:02:43.280So to celebrate that, 20 percent off the whole shop, Allie Merch dot com.
00:03:01.860And if I mean, most of you know what Comfort Colors is, but especially if you were in a sorority in college, you definitely know what Comfort Colors is.
00:03:31.960And we went through at the beginning of the month what the Noahic Covenant is, why it's important,
00:03:36.480and how we distinguish between the rainbow that is the Lord's, the natural rainbow that he created,
00:03:42.540that he hangs in the sky to remind us of his faithfulness and his promise, which has seven colors,
00:03:47.500versus the pride flag, which has the six colors.
00:03:51.260And now it has all of those other garish combination of colors, too.
00:03:54.820It's just a perversion of God's promises in the same way that all of this sexual and gender confusion is.
00:04:01.860And so we celebrate what has always been God's, what is always and will always be rightfully his.
00:04:09.720Noahic Covenant and the rainbow belongs to God.
00:04:12.480Obviously, you can wear these outside of June, too.
00:04:15.360So if you have been waiting for a little bit of a discount, we've got that 20% off.
00:04:19.400And also, speaking of merch, we've got something exciting coming next week that a lot of you guys have asked me about.
00:04:25.480This is, I'll just let you know, Related Gals and Related Bros.
00:04:29.700You're going to be excited about this.
00:04:31.240I won't tell you exactly what it is, but I will say these items are being sold by very popular and indignant demand by many of you on Instagram.
00:04:44.400So a lot of merch coming out next week.
00:04:47.720But for now, go ahead and go to my shop, AllieMerch.com, for that 20% off that we have going on with Baby Lives Matter.
00:04:54.960Okay, another thing I wanted to say, if you love this podcast, please give us a five-star review on Apple Podcasts.
00:05:03.800A lot of you guys over the past week or so, because there's been a lot of controversy and some, you know, anger and pushback with some of the more, I guess, controversial episodes that we've done on mental health and things like that.
00:05:14.140So many of you have been so kind to reach out and give me words of encouragement and give me kind words.
00:05:26.120And then I did want to say, we're going to give a little bit of an update on this submarine story that we covered yesterday.
00:05:40.820But I just wanted to say before we get into it, that I did receive some of your messages and some of your comments saying that you felt that our attitude yesterday and talking about this very serious and sad story was flippant.
00:05:52.780And that maybe we were a little bit too giggly.
00:05:54.920We were laughing a little bit too much.
00:06:42.340And so we were laughing and in a lighthearted mood.
00:06:45.220And then we started talking about this.
00:06:47.020And then another thing that I think affected it, again, not an excuse, just letting you know kind of where we were, is that this has, and I'm not saying this is right, but this story really has very quickly turned into a meme online.
00:06:59.540It turned into something very quickly that people were kind of laughing about and memeing because it is so absurd.
00:07:08.640It's a situation that most people wouldn't find themselves in and that someone had to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars to engage in.
00:07:15.520And there were so many steps that were not taken to ensure the protection and the safety of these people that I think a lot of people were just pointing out how absolutely ludicrous and avoidable a situation like that was.
00:07:26.980All that to say, these are image bearers of God.
00:07:48.740It's terrifying to think about what they went through, how they died, what those last moments were like, how torturous that must have been.
00:07:56.080And just the hope and the prayer that somehow the gospel was preached to them and hopefully believed by some or all of them.
00:08:36.160But I do think doing things that are for no reason increasing the probability of death, again, different than being like a soldier or something like that.
00:08:50.040That's just not something that I find a lot of thrill in.
00:08:53.180And so I know everyone's made differently, but that to me, it's like I want to be a really good steward of the time that God has given me.
00:09:01.500And so while you shouldn't be entirely risk averse, I also think that there's a balance there and having some prudence and the kind of activities that we engage in.
00:09:11.120And so no matter what, pray for these families and pray for the people who are affected by this awful, awful situation.
00:09:19.720But I just wanted to make sure you know that we are taking any loss of life seriously.
00:10:30.620As we read yesterday, a former U.S. Navy captain with submarine command experience told CNN that the submarine would have frost on the inside due to almost freezing water temperatures at that depth.
00:10:40.160I think that's something that we forget about.
00:10:41.680There are so many different things that can kill you when you are in the water, even when you're not when you're, you know, insulated or protected by a submarine.
00:10:51.940The oxygen inside the Titan, that's what the submarine is called, is estimated to run out sometime Thursday morning.
00:10:58.760This morning is believed that the sub has 96 hours or four days of life support for a crew of five passengers.
00:11:05.560The Coast Guard also said Wednesday night that the underwater sounds have been detected in the search area, resulting in the redirection of remotely operated vehicle operations to explore the origin.
00:11:16.580The Coast Guard said an area twice the size of Connecticut has been searched so far.
00:11:27.260My friend, I'm not on TikTok, but a couple of my friends who are on TikTok were telling me yesterday about all the different theories and stuff that they've seen on TikTok.
00:11:35.440All of the different insight that people say that they have or do have about what's going on, what could be going on.
00:11:41.700There's always going to be conspiracy theories when it comes to something that's mysterious like this.
00:11:45.740Some people are pointing out how strange one of the step sons of one of the guys is acting, considering what he's posting on social media while his stepdad is trapped in this submarine, going to a Blink-182 concert, like just living up his life, celebrating as usual, apparently said something like this is what my family would want for me.
00:12:08.320Very strange situation going on there.
00:12:11.900There's going to be a lot of theories.
00:12:13.160All we know is that there was and is a loss of life unless there is some kind of miracle that develops today.
00:12:22.660Let's get into the rest of what we want to talk about today.
00:12:24.960And I'm finally going to talk about this crazy story that I have been wanting to discuss for the past few days because I just could not believe I could believe, but it's just continues to be stunning to me.
00:12:38.600The things that the ACLU, the American Civil Liberties Union, the things that they say and how far they have fallen over the past few decades, although a lot of people would say that they've always kind of been a progressive group that doesn't care nearly as much about the principles of free speech and freedom of religion as they say that they do.
00:12:59.940So maybe this is just a natural development. And also, by the way, I will say even before we get into this, that we will get into the Hunter Biden and the Donald Trump stories next week.
00:13:12.000Like there, I know that there's a lot there. I know that it's important. We haven't covered them yet. Things are still unfolding.
00:13:17.080We will have a guest on next week who will give us some more understanding of what's really going on there.
00:13:22.100But today, let's talk about this. The ACLU complains that the state of Florida failed to provide, quote unquote, gender affirming care for a convicted murderer.
00:13:32.700So here's what the original tweet said. And let's see. This was on. When did they when did they tweet this?
00:13:41.880June, June 16th. They said the state of Florida never provided medically necessary gender affirming care to Dwayne Owen.
00:13:49.800So there's so much going on in that one sentence. First of all, quote unquote.
00:13:54.460OK, so first of all, gender affirming care means actually like mutilating your body or trying to change your body to change the presentation of your body to look more like the opposite sex.
00:14:06.580That's what that actually means. There's no such thing as gender affirming care in the sense that you can't affirm something that is not biologically true by trying to change your body.
00:14:17.140It assumes the differentiation between gender and sex that, sure, you can be biologically male, but your gender, what you feel you are on the inside actually trumps that physical reality.
00:14:29.240And so you should change your body in order to try to conform to what your mind and your heart feel about what your so-called gender identity is.
00:14:38.560I mean, that's completely bunk. There is no scientific real category of gender identity.
00:14:44.560Gender and sex are completely interchangeable. And we are what our gametes say that we are.
00:14:52.780You can try to change your voice. You can try to change your appearance. You will never become the opposite sex. That is fixed.
00:14:59.840So that is Orwellian speak right there. And then they say it's medically necessary.
00:15:04.340Well, no, it's never medically necessary for a man who feels like he's a woman to get breast implants.
00:15:10.540It's not medically necessary for a man who feels like he's a woman to take estrogen or to be chemically castrated or to be really castrated.
00:15:20.180It's never medically necessary for a young woman who is insecure about her body, who hates being a woman and wants to pretend like she's a male to have her breast chopped off.
00:15:30.560These are not medically necessary things. These are aesthetic things.
00:15:36.180These are things that people are told will assuage their confusion or their trauma, but they don't.
00:15:43.480So that's one part of this sentence. We have to like constantly define our terms because things have just become so convoluted in today's lexicon.
00:15:53.240So the ACLU goes on to say causing her, her Dwayne Owen, her enormous suffering and violating her right to be free from cruel and unusual punishment for more than 30, the 30 years that she was in state custody.
00:16:12.940And then a follow up tweet says in legal papers she drafted, Owen wrote that she should be accorded the essence of human dignity and be allowed to become who she was meant to be before her death.
00:16:23.580No one should be killed by the state. So just anti-death penalty in general.
00:16:27.500The time to end the racist, unfair and cruel death penalty is now. Wow, there's so much in here.
00:16:32.320So let me tell you a little bit about Dwayne Owen, Dwayne Owen.
00:16:36.560The reason that they're talking about this was because he was executed by the state of Florida.
00:16:43.980So immediately when I saw this, I wanted to know, well, who is Dwayne Owen?
00:16:50.180Because what the ACLU is saying is that he should have he should have gotten taxpayer subsidized gender transition surgery and hormone therapy and that he would have been he should have been transferred to a woman's prison because he said he was a woman.
00:17:11.640So he was really a woman. Well, what did this man who the ACLU is saying should be transferred to a woman's prison actually do?
00:17:19.780So I immediately looked it up. Here's why he was executed by the state of Florida.
00:17:26.020In 1984, Owen raped and murdered Karen Slattery, who was 14.
00:17:31.340She was babysitting two little kids. And then, according to reports, he slaughtered her.
00:17:37.540He took her into a bedroom and raped her corpse.
00:17:41.800He stabbed her more than 18 times, butchering her while the children were in bed.
00:17:47.920The parents of the children then came home that night, found her sexually assaulted and murdered bloody corpse in a bedroom.
00:17:56.920And he wasn't caught that night. They actually weren't able to physically connect.
00:18:00.940I don't really know how, but physically connect the murder to him.
00:18:05.300They caught him several years later for the murder of another woman that he also murdered in the 80s named Georgiana Worden.
00:18:17.900She was 38. A single mother of two kids killed her with a hammer and raped her in her home.
00:18:25.920One of her children found her body the next morning, according to the record.
00:18:30.920Both killings occurred in Palm Beach County.
00:18:34.800Owen had also attacked two other women in Palm Beach County, but they survived.
00:18:39.100Besides his death sentence, he also received six life sentences for his crimes.
00:18:42.620He was 23 at the time of the attacks and then 62 when he was executed.
00:18:50.480Owen's defense team argued that Owen had dementia and gender dysphoria,
00:18:54.540but psychiatrists for the state said Owen had a good memory, did not appear to be to present himself as female at any point.
00:19:02.560And even if he had, that's totally irrelevant.
00:19:07.560They said instead that Owen was sexually sadistic, according to court records.
00:19:12.280And so he got off on hating women, on committing violence against women, killing women, assaulting women.
00:19:21.480Obviously, there's necrophilia in there.
00:19:23.880Redox reported from court proceedings that Owen stated he believed he had absorbed the souls of his victims and they still lived inside him.
00:19:33.060Owen claimed that he sexually assaulted women as part of a ritual to harvest their hormones and that he was.
00:19:39.380So apparently he did say this, that he was a transsexual who carried out sexual violence to turn himself into female.
00:19:47.940He had also admitted during his post-conviction psychological assessments that he had committed seven rapes and five murders,
00:19:54.500along with the slew of other crimes which were uncovered by police.
00:20:40.140I don't know if I would understand the connection or have seen the connection if it weren't for the journalists at Redox and Genevieve Glock and how often they report on these stories.
00:21:30.920And there are all kinds of mental health issues, I think, going on there.
00:21:35.240I think in a lot of cases, I don't know about in his case, since this happened so long ago, I think in a lot of cases, pornography, the kinds of pornography consumed by these violent men.
00:23:12.100Actually, the only injustice in this case is that it took 40 years instead of 40 hours to execute this person.
00:23:19.740After this person was found guilty, after a fair trial, after fair and objective due process of law was proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that he committed these crimes, he should have been executed.
00:23:36.160Now, my preference, my strong preference would be that the gospel was shared with him, that he was given the opportunity to repent and to see truth, and then that justice was carried out.
00:23:48.060It is actually unjust that he was able to live on the taxpayer dime for years and years before he received the death penalty.
00:24:20.300People are mad because the death penalty is apparently racist.
00:24:23.520Now, Dwayne Owen is white, but they claim that it's disproportionately used against black Americans, which still is not an argument against the death penalty per se.
00:24:33.780You could say that the system in America, it's not fair.
00:24:37.200We should make sure that it's consistently applied across the board or at least from case to case in each state, which I which I would agree with.
00:24:45.740I'm not sure that there is evidence in its inherent racism today just because some kind of like disparity exists.
00:24:54.160But I absolutely agree that like if you want to say, OK, we can only do the death penalty where there is like DNA present.
00:25:13.240And especially for Christians to say that for Christians to say that execution is is unjust or cruel for certain cases like murder.
00:25:25.420You, again, are just saying that you think that you are more just than God, that you think you're more compassionate, that you're wiser than God, that you know better than him what justice looks like.
00:25:35.440There is no sound biblical argument for the idea that Jesus abolished the death penalty.
00:25:41.080John 8 doesn't prove that there's no part of Jesus's ministry that says that he abolishes the death penalty.
00:25:49.020In fact, we see support for the death penalty in the New Testament in Romans 13.
00:25:53.080And it goes all the way back to Genesis 9, 6, again, that Noahic covenant where God demands the death penalty for murder.
00:26:00.640Yes, of course, there are some exceptions that God makes for David, for Moses throughout Scripture.
00:26:06.040But God's law is there and he roots it actually in in creation.
00:26:13.120He doesn't root it in root it in some kind of shifting cultural or social standard.
00:26:18.560God says that you shall execute a man or you shall execute a person that murder someone else again, different than manslaughter.
00:26:26.880Because human beings were made in God's image and because human beings are so valuable, because their dignity matters so much, because God upholds the dignity and the innate worth and the innate value of a human being so much above any other creature, any other animal in the universe.
00:26:46.780The only just punishment for a murder of that image bearer of God is execution.
00:26:53.820God says that before the formation of Israel, he rooted in a reason that is still just as true today as it was thousands of years ago that we are made in God's image.
00:27:27.840Even the worst rapists and murders, we believe, have a right to a fair trial.
00:27:33.620We believe in impartial justice, whether you're rich or you're poor or you're black or you're white.
00:27:38.320That should be a principle on which America stands.
00:27:41.180But to say that execution was wrong in this case, again, the only wrong committed when it came to the execution of this guy was that it took so long.
00:29:38.820I mean, one of the greatest human rights violations going on right under our noses right now is women being forced to be jailed with men who think they're women, who are rapists, who are murderers, who are pedophiles.
00:29:58.300Okay, we've got another similar story to this.
00:30:01.320And that is, again, reported by Redux.
00:30:04.060Violent murderer David Warfield, who goes by the name of Dana Rivers, was allowed to transfer to women's prison.
00:30:11.180So this is just another this is another example of what I'm talking about.
00:30:14.760So in 2016, he was sentenced for the triple homicide of a California lesbian couple and their son.
00:30:21.360He was sentenced to life without parole, as the judge called it, the most depraved crime he ever handled in the criminal justice system in 33 years.
00:30:28.860It's actually pretty rare for someone to get a sentence that heavy in the state of California.
00:32:54.400And absolutely, Christians are called to speak up against this, by the way.
00:32:58.040Absolutely, Christians are called to engage in the so-called culture war.
00:33:02.260As we talked about on Monday, I know Christians being involved in the fight about gender, the fight about abortion, the fight about women's rights in this case, the battle over these very existential and moral issues.
00:33:15.840I know it's demonized is, oh, we just want Christians just want power.
00:33:19.540No, Christians are doing what we have always done for the past 2000 years, which is create a refuge from the predation and the chaos and the confusion of the world, a refuge of clarity, a refuge of peace, a refuge of love, a refuge of strength, a refuge of protection for the most vulnerable in our society, which typically are women and children.
00:33:43.100And so by fighting against gender ideology, by fighting against wicked laws like this, by fighting against the hijacking of our language, the hijacking of the idea of what gender is, the redefinition of the family, abortion, all of these things that put especially children, but also women in a lot of cases at risk.
00:34:02.620Yes, that is part of the responsibility of Christians.
00:34:05.260Christians have literally been doing that for thousands of years.
00:34:08.720We've talked before about the book When Children Became People by, I believe it's David Bakke, that when Christianity came onto the scene, we created children as a vulnerable class of people worthy of protection rather than what they were at the time in the pagan world, which was they were just objects of sexual gratification.
00:34:53.140And actually, we are all equally dead and sin apart from Christ.
00:34:56.620And we are all equally saved in Christ by grace through faith.
00:35:01.180If by grace through faith we are saved, that radical message of equality of value and equality of worth changed the world.
00:35:10.040And so Christians got to work not just caring for these people, but over time creating the orphanages, creating the adoption agencies, creating, in some cases, just revolutionizing medical care, how hospitals worked.
00:35:22.660These nonprofit organizations, these entities, these entities that helped the poor, that did not exist at the time because your value was judged by your productivity.
00:35:35.460And Christianity and the gospel preached by Jesus Christ completely changed that, completely changed the Western world.
00:35:44.200And so Christians today who are fighting for the innate dignity and the worth of human beings, no matter their gender, no matter their age, no matter their disability, who are saying that these people matter and they have a voice, too, as we are when we're fighting for the reality of gender, for the reality of life inside the womb.
00:36:10.140We're just doing what Christians have done for thousands of years.
00:36:23.460And people, because they are made in God's image, matter.
00:36:27.780Christians who think they are above the culture wars, who think they're above politics, who think they're above all this stuff because it makes them sad.
00:36:43.940It's not the only part, but it is a part of loving people because you see how the politics in California, it pushed a law like this that then is making these women vulnerable, women that we should be caring about.
00:37:03.320Therefore, Christians should care about it.
00:37:05.380It affects the real lives of real people, especially the poor, especially the incarcerated, especially the child, especially the person with special needs.
00:37:16.940And if we are not to be their voice, who is?
00:37:19.120So, again, I say, what's being pushed by the ACLU, what's happening in women's prisons across the country in the name of gender ideology is one of the biggest human rights atrocities that we have ever seen.
00:38:00.920It doesn't have anything to do with what we were just discussing, but it's something to keep our eye on.
00:38:04.780And I think there's a lot to learn from this story.
00:38:06.860So, AI apparently is being recruited to rewrite the Bible, to correct the Bible, to make sure that it's politically correct and that it's, you know, in with the time.
00:38:18.300So, this was reported last week by CBN in a May 19th interview, Yuval Noah Harari.
00:38:25.660We've probably talked about him before, maybe with Justin Haskins in the past.
00:38:28.980He's a part of the World Economic Forum.
00:38:31.280He's promoted all kinds of crazy ideas when it comes to artificial intelligence.
00:38:34.600He's now promoting the idea that AI will be able to generate a new globally acceptable religious book, developing religions that are actually correct.
00:38:43.720So, we have a video of Harari saying this.
00:39:37.040Okay, so I did catch the last part of what he said, and now I'm realizing what's being quoted about him is not exactly correct.
00:39:44.780So, there's so much wrong about what he said.
00:39:46.460But what he is saying, it's being reported that, oh, there are going to be religions that are actually correct because of AI.
00:39:52.140What he means by that is that religions will be correct in asserting that their book was written by a higher intelligence because it will have been written by artificial intelligence.
00:40:04.620Now, there's still so much disturbing about what he said there.
00:40:08.320And for a supposedly smart guy, he misunderstands religion a lot.
00:40:36.580There were faithful Christians throughout history who were meticulously taking the time to translate the Bible from the Hebrew and from the Greek to modern languages.
00:40:51.140And again, thank the Lord for the Protestant Reformation, which happened after the development of the printing press and helped the mass translation of the Bible.
00:41:03.160And again, the exact translation, this was a big part of what Martin Luther was dedicated to, the translation of the Bible into German, into modern languages, so the average person could read it.
00:41:17.300So it wasn't just that they had to walk into the Catholic Church and to hear something in Latin and then not really understand what was being applied or what was being said to them, how they were supposed to apply it.
00:41:28.040But that the average person could read the Bible and through the power of the Holy Spirit, understand the fundamentals of what was being said.
00:41:38.580I just talked about how Christianity changed the world.
00:41:40.920That would not have, it wouldn't have spread as far as it did if it weren't for the Bible in the hands of the common person, that the common person was able to become a theologian through the power of the Holy Spirit and the wisdom that was given to them.
00:41:53.240Yes, by the word of God, yes, by the word of God and also by other theologians and teachers, we still as Protestants believe in the importance of that.
00:42:00.820But we are, we do believe that we do have a higher power, not superhuman.
00:42:05.980He says a super, a superhuman power that has inspired our text, but that the Holy Spirit inspired the text, that it is the inerrant word of God.
00:42:16.360And therefore, we would never, ever, ever submit to changes by artificial intelligence, which is not the same thing at all as some kind of higher power entity.
00:42:27.600It's still something that's made by man.
00:42:29.900It's still something that is, in a sense, finite, that doesn't have transcendent understanding.
00:42:35.980It might have more understanding than us, but doesn't have transcendent understanding.
00:42:39.240It doesn't exist outside of time and space.
00:43:20.080I mean, there are so many cultural differences, religious differences, political differences.
00:43:23.760Of course, we're never going to agree on what gets in some kind of man-made text to try to order society around some AI-created religion that would never, ever happen.
00:43:35.480That's why Christianity is so beautiful, because it is absolutely the most culturally diverse, the most ethnically diverse, the most socioeconomically diverse, globally diverse religion, faith in existence.
00:43:51.540And there is unity through the word of God, because it is consistent, because it doesn't change based on your culture.
00:44:02.620It shouldn't change based on your gender.
00:44:05.260It shouldn't change based on your political background or your upbringing or your socioeconomic class.
00:44:11.480You might bring a different perspective to the table, but the word of God is the word of God.
00:44:30.640There's one body and one spirit, just as you are called to the one hope that belongs to your call, one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.
00:44:46.600It is made up of many members, but it is united in Christ.
00:44:50.200It is united through the wisdom that we gain through the Holy Spirit, through the word of God.
00:44:54.680And we will never, ever rely on artificial intelligence to change or make improvements to what already is an infallible and inerrant text.
00:45:06.300But it doesn't surprise me that people like him would want that.
00:45:09.560The World Economic Forum and the rest of the oligarchs there are always looking for different ways to manipulate and to control the masses.
00:45:17.480This is very similar to what communist China has done.
00:45:21.620The CCP has tried to edit the Bible to take out anything that doesn't agree with communism, which I actually love because it just shows the commies here that the Bible, as it is written, does not agree with communism as much as they like to say that the early church was a communist entity or somehow that Jesus was some transgender communist.
00:45:42.320Well, if communism was actually upheld by the Bible, which is absolutely not because it's a brutal human dignity, less ideology, then the CCP wouldn't have to edit anything.
00:45:55.520They would just say, everyone follow this Bible.
00:45:57.540But they strongly discourage Christianity.
00:46:01.100They try to get rid of it as much as they possibly can.
00:46:03.560And they're trying to edit the Bible to make it seem more communist.
00:46:05.960And that would go all the way back to the beginning of the Bible that says, do not covet.
00:46:13.780Not only do not steal, but do not covet.
00:46:16.040So the idea of personal property, the idea of a right to your property, the idea that it is evil to want something that is not yours and then to take something that is not yours, which is entirely what communism and socialism are.
00:46:29.020It's an ideology of envy and greed, of covetousness, of theft.
00:46:35.920That is, I mean, all those things are prohibited in Scripture.
00:46:38.660So, of course, China would have to change it.
00:46:40.500Of course, the World Economic Forum would have to change it.
00:46:43.960But thank the Lord for the Word of God.
00:46:49.540I recommended a Bible the other—I love recommending the ESV Study Bible.
00:46:53.600I recommended it to someone the other day who I'm not sure has any kind of familiarity with the Bible.
00:46:58.480And so I think it's great for people who are either, like, you're a brand-new believer and you want to know how to read Scripture and how to interpret Scripture.
00:47:07.880And then—or someone who is like, you just want to get deeper into theology and apologetics.
00:47:13.920I've tried other Bibles, and it's my favorite.
00:47:16.920I still just credit my friend, who is kind of like a mentor to me when I was in college.
00:47:21.500He was a few years older, who, when I was a sophomore in college, gave me the ESV Study Bible that God used to really change my life.
00:47:27.540It's expensive, but it's worth the investment.
00:47:32.080So let's be buying all the Bibles because there could come a day.
00:47:35.060There could come a day when the only option available to us is this artificial intelligence Bible that we've got, which is quite frightening.
00:47:55.280We need a little padding at the end of the episode after the last ad.
00:47:58.960So I'm trying to think about how we are going to end, how we're going to end this.
00:48:03.080And I think we're just going to end it in a fun way.
00:48:04.860We can talk about the things that we were laughing about yesterday before we started the episode.
00:48:11.340And I was just stunned and excited to hear that producer Brie, whom you guys love when I have on, I always get so much positive feedback about our conversations.
00:48:22.020She was telling me yesterday that she did not see her destiny as podcast producing.
