The NXR Podcast - BONUS - My Review ｜ “What Is A Woman？” -Matt Walsh & Daily Wire

00:00:00.000 Hey guys, real quick before we get started I have a small request. If you've been blessed by our

00:00:04.580 content and you like this show, would you take just a brief moment and leave us a five-star

00:00:09.020 review? This is quite possibly the most effective thing that you can do to ensure that this content

00:00:14.680 gets out to as many people as possible. Thanks. All right, welcome to another live episode. I'm

00:00:23.360 going to be giving you my personal thoughts on the recent documentary that came out of The Daily

00:00:27.800 Wire by Matt Walsh called What is a Woman? What is a Woman? A lot of guys have been talking about

00:00:34.300 this, giving their reviews. Lord knows that no legitimate film critic is going to review the

00:00:42.300 film because they don't want to give it any credibility or even acknowledge it whatsoever

00:00:47.400 because, well, they can't actually answer the question. Hollywood is woke. Hollywood has

00:00:53.640 completely hopped on board the LGBT LMNOPQ plus agenda on board that train. And so they have

00:01:03.820 nothing to say on the matter. They don't want to dignify it with any kind of response. But a lot

00:01:09.000 of conservatives, people at The Blaze, people at Daily Wire, people all over the internet are

00:01:13.460 giving their two cents. And so I'm going to give you mine. The first thing about the documentary

00:01:19.460 that I'll say is this. I think that it is a much needed documentary. This topic has to be

00:01:26.820 addressed. This is one of the things that we're called to do in scripture. So in the Proverbs,

00:01:31.280 it says, do not answer the fool according to his folly, or you will become like him. But then

00:01:37.960 immediately, what we also see in the Proverbs is answer the fool according to his folly,

00:01:43.580 or he will become wise in his own eyes.

00:01:46.800 And I like what Greg Bonson says in regards to these two verses

00:01:50.680 that seemingly contradict one another.

00:01:53.020 One saying, don't engage the fool.

00:01:55.200 Don't stoop down to his level.

00:01:57.220 Don't answer him according to his folly or you will be like him.

00:02:01.460 But then we also see, well, there are times where you need to answer the fool

00:02:05.120 according to his folly or he will become wise in his own eyes.

00:02:08.240 Greg Bonson, in speaking of Christian apologetics,

00:02:11.620 namely the presuppositional sort of apologetics, he says that basically what we're doing in this

00:02:17.020 to answer the fool according to his folly is to use his own faulty logic against him,

00:02:23.380 to step into his world, not assuming any of his presuppositions, not affirming any of his false

00:02:30.760 beliefs, but to step into his world, meaning not his premise, but to step into his world in terms

00:02:37.500 of his methods, his faulty logic, his faulty argumentation. And so to say, all right, if A,

00:02:45.540 then B. If you're saying this, well, then according to your own logic, according to your own

00:02:52.600 argumentation, da-dot, da-dot, da-dot, da-dot, that is what it is to answer the fool according

00:02:57.400 to his folly, to use his own folly against him. And I think that's precisely what Matt Walsh does

00:03:03.960 a marvelous job of accomplishing in this documentary. And he's kind of the guy who's

00:03:09.500 coined this now famous question, what is a woman, which of course, that question is not rocket

00:03:15.300 science to come up with a question nor to answer the question, but it's been used again and again

00:03:20.640 and again. It was used even with the most recent Supreme Court justice nominee with contingent

00:03:27.440 Brown Jackson, you know, asking her that question. And she gave her infamous answer of, well,

00:03:33.720 I'm not a biologist, right? So you have to be a veterinarian in order to say, you know, the answer

00:03:39.780 for what is a dog you have to, you know, so in people, you know, the, the, the right just had

00:03:44.400 a field day, you know, memeing her, the right always has the best memes, because the left is

00:03:49.600 the most ridiculous, laughable, mockable position. And I think that there is something to that there

00:03:55.680 is something to Christian polemics, not Christian politics, there's something to that also.

00:04:01.360 but Christian polemics, meaning a sharp serrated edge in our speaking and the way that we address

00:04:10.080 the fool. So there is times where we just, we leave the fool to himself. We don't want to

00:04:16.700 become like him, but there are times where we actually do respond to the fool so that he would

00:04:22.200 not be wise in his own eyes. And also not just that he would not be wise in his own eyes, but

00:04:27.140 so that his foolishness, his folly would not appear wise in the eyes of all the bystanders,

00:04:33.540 of all the people on the sidelines who are watching this event unfold. We're not just

00:04:39.780 trying to win over the fool. We're trying to win over the crowd. And that's something you

00:04:44.920 need to recognize about Americans, about human beings, even in regards to Christians. We have

00:04:52.180 one, you know, famous scene in the Old Testament with the showdown at Mount Carmel between Elijah

00:04:59.780 and the prophets of Baal or Baal. And ultimately, you know, what you have in terms of this showdown

00:05:07.420 is you have a competition between the gods, right? The false god Baal and the true god Yahweh,

00:05:13.820 which God is true. And let the God who is true reveal himself by answering through fire,

00:05:22.280 answering by fire. And the prophets of Baal, they're, you know, crying out to their God all

00:05:26.780 day long. And Elijah mocks them. He uses mockery. He says, well, maybe your God can't hear you.

00:05:31.920 Maybe he's on a trip. He's traveling. Maybe he's in the bathroom. Maybe he's on the toilet. You

00:05:36.820 know, give him a minute. And the prophets of Baal are screaming by this point and wailing,

00:05:42.020 even slashing themselves, causing their own blood to flow, thinking that if they mutilate

00:05:47.400 their own bodies, much like the transgender fanatics in our society, that maybe their

00:05:52.660 pagan god will see that and answer their cries, but their god is silent because he's not real.

00:05:59.040 He is no god at all.

00:06:00.860 And then Elijah, he kind of ups the ante and makes it even more difficult, as it were,

00:06:05.840 for the true God, the God Yahweh, the God of Israel to answer by pouring water all over the

00:06:13.220 sacrifice and digging a moat around the altar so that it's filled with water and drenched. And then

00:06:18.120 he cries out to God in heaven and boom, God answers with fire. But one of the things that

00:06:24.080 happens before this is Elijah says, not just to the prophets of Baal, so he addresses them with

00:06:29.180 mockery and that's godly and good and right. And I think that's what Matt Walsh does in this film.

00:06:35.300 But then Elijah also addresses everybody else on the sideline.

00:06:40.100 And I think that from what I can tell, I think Matt Walsh could have done more of that, not

00:06:45.100 just mocking the progressive leftist secular religion, because it is a religion, a false

00:06:51.920 religion, and they're false gods and they're false priests and priestess and prophets and

00:06:56.240 all these things, which he does a wonderful job at in his dry humor, sarcastic way.

00:07:01.360 he's one of the only guys that I could think of who could keep a straight face in the midst of

00:07:05.720 the insanity that he's hearing from the opposition. But I think there could have been more of

00:07:10.620 addressing the false prophets with mockery, answering the fool according to his own logic,

00:07:18.360 so that his folly would be revealed, so that he would not become wise in his own eyes, and others

00:07:24.100 on the sidelines would not see him as wise. But I think there's addressing the fool, but there's

00:07:29.520 also, and using polemics, Christian polemics in that, is appropriate, right? The 11th commandment,

00:07:34.560 thou shalt be nice, is not a commandment. There's a distinction between niceness and gentleness.

00:07:43.100 And real quick, on that note, we cannot so narrowly define the fruit of the Spirit that is

00:07:48.720 gentleness in such a way that it precludes the Son of God, Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ was full

00:07:57.560 of the Spirit. He had the full measure of the Spirit at all times. And the fruit of the Spirit,

00:08:02.740 it's not like a toolbox where you take out a hammer for this event, you know, for this particular

00:08:07.680 task, and you put it back in, and then you grab a screwdriver, right? So, I'm going to use love

00:08:11.780 here, and then patience here, and then gentleness here. No, the fruit of the Spirit is more so like

00:08:17.900 using actual fruit in the illustration. It wouldn't be nine different fruits, like oranges,

00:08:22.880 and bananas and apples, it would be one fruit with nine characteristics. And it's not an exhaustive

00:08:28.540 list, but certainly there cannot be less than the nine fruits, characteristics, evidences,

00:08:35.800 proofs, signs of the Holy Spirit. Meaning that if somebody has the Holy Spirit, especially if

00:08:41.500 somebody embodies the Holy Spirit in full measure as Christ did in his earthly ministry, then all

00:08:46.580 nine characteristics, all nine fruits, evidences of the Holy Spirit are going to be evident.

00:08:52.880 they're going to be displayed, they're going to be visible, they're going to be

00:08:56.220 manifest. Why? Because you don't get half of the Holy Spirit. And no believer has half of the

00:09:01.840 Holy Spirit indwelling them. But the problem is that because of the flesh and sin which still

00:09:06.800 resides within the members of our being, Romans chapter 7, because we're not the sinless son of

00:09:11.600 God as Christ was, we have the full Holy Spirit, but the fullness of the Holy Spirit is often being

00:09:17.920 veiled or masked by the sinful flesh, by our idolatry, by our sin. But we have the fullness

00:09:26.420 of the Holy Spirit in full measure in the person of Jesus Christ, and it's not being veiled by the

00:09:36.100 sinful flesh because of the impeccability of Christ, that he has no sin and he cannot sin.

00:09:41.540 he is divine he is the son of god so my point is this uh number one in terms of theology proper

00:09:48.260 right our doctrine of god both the westminster confession of faith and the 1689 second london

00:09:54.240 baptist confession of faith states in in regards to god in his essence that god is a most pure

00:10:00.120 spirit and this defines both both god the father and god the holy spirit he is a most pure spirit

00:10:05.940 without body, parts, or passions, meaning that God cannot be dissected into parts. All that is in God

00:10:14.400 is God. So it's not just that God possesses certain attributes, but God is love. And the

00:10:21.040 Bible says that, but we act as though, you know, God is love, but he possesses justice. No, God is

00:10:26.220 love, but the Bible also says God is holy, holy, holy, right? We try to make this particular

00:10:32.040 attribute of God, namely love, trump all the other attributes by saying, well, the Bible says that

00:10:37.160 God has other attributes, but the Bible only says God is, ontologically, God is love. Well, that

00:10:44.100 argumentation doesn't work. That's faulty hermeneutics. One, because it's a false statement.

00:10:49.200 The Bible says that God is love. Guess what? The Bible also says that God is holy. And if we're

00:10:54.260 going to use those faulty hermeneutics, then we would have to then acknowledge, here's answering

00:10:58.560 the fool in this case the foolish christian theologian according to his own folly if we use

00:11:03.820 that kind of hermeneutic in in exegeting the scripture we'd have to say that god is precisely

00:11:08.760 three times holier than he is loving because god is love first john says but god is holy holy holy

00:11:16.360 now the better exegesis and our theology proper is to say that all that is in god is god meaning god

00:11:23.140 is all of his attributes. God is love, and God is holy. God is just. God is all of these things,

00:11:31.000 and God is a most pure spirit without body, parts, or passions, right? So you and I, we are complex

00:11:40.140 beings, and I'm using complex being in the philosophical sense, meaning that we can be

00:11:44.920 divided. If, you know, God forbid, I had to have my right arm amputated, I would still be Joel

00:11:52.900 weapon. But there is no part of God. He is a simple being in philosophical terms. There is no part of

00:11:59.320 God that can be severed or taken away from him. So God is not gentle at times, is what I'm saying,

00:12:06.040 and then patient at other times. No, God is patient, love, peace, goodness, faithfulness,

00:12:14.200 all these things all the time. These are the fruits, the evidences, the visible manifestations

00:12:20.400 of God and the Holy Spirit is God. So those who are indwelled by the Holy Spirit will have the

00:12:27.280 fruits of the Spirit. And the only reason they are not visible at times is one, because beauty

00:12:33.040 is in the eye of the beholder. Those who are on looking, who are witnessing the fruits of the

00:12:37.960 Spirit may not be regenerate themselves. And so therefore they may not equate the fruits of the

00:12:44.640 Spirit as the virtues that they actually are. They may see the goodness of the Holy Spirit

00:12:49.100 as a vice because of their own wickedness but also the fruit of the spirit it's present it's there

00:12:56.120 you don't get half of the spirit part of the spirit you get all the holy spirit um but it is

00:13:00.680 at times veiled because of the sin of the the sinful flesh of the individual that the spirit

00:13:07.040 is indwelling that individual christian themselves now jesus who is sinless embodying the whole

00:13:13.200 spirit and to the full measure of the holy spirit he is is gentle all the time he is loving all the

00:13:20.760 time he is patient all the time again not tools like screwdriver and a hammer and a wrench taking

00:13:25.520 out one particular tool just one at a time for one task and putting it back in and grabbing another

00:13:30.280 no all of the fruits all the visible manifestations of the whole holy spirit are evident in jesus

00:13:38.720 simultaneously. All that being said, that means there was never a time that Jesus was not

00:13:43.560 perfectly modeling gentleness. So John chapter two, when Jesus fashions a whip out of cords

00:13:49.500 and begins to turn over the tables of the money changers and drive them out of the temple,

00:13:54.720 gentle, gentle. Listen to me, evangelical American Christian. Don't you dare invoke the 11th

00:14:03.360 pseudo commandment thou shalt be nice and use it to define gentleness in such a way that the son

00:14:11.200 of god himself doesn't qualify as being gentle jesus used sharp rhetoric you pharisees whitewashed

00:14:21.620 tombs you look clean and bleached on the outside but on the inside there's a rotting corpse and it

00:14:28.140 smells like death. You're putrid. You clean the outside of the cup, but you leave the inside of

00:14:35.160 the cup like a petri dish filled with bacteria and germs and disease. You're hypocrites. You put

00:14:42.260 on a front, but it's not an accurate representation of who you truly are inside. Jesus uses this kind

00:14:50.820 of polemical language. John chapter 8, you're sons of the devil. You're a chip off the old block.

00:14:56.340 children one of the ways that you can tell who a child's father is is that the child typically

00:15:02.040 bears a striking resemblance to the father now your father the devil he was a murderer from the

00:15:07.640 beginning he's a liar the father of lies and he was a murderer and here you are bearing false

00:15:13.040 testimony about me lying just like your daddy the liar devil and you are seeking to kill me trying

00:15:19.580 to murder me just like your father the devil who is a murderer from the beginning this is the

00:15:24.720 language that Jesus uses again and again and again he is Jesus meek and mild he is also Jesus

00:15:31.080 who is based and Chad for lack of a better expression Jesus is both and it's not at one

00:15:38.300 point he's exercising gentleness and at another he puts gentleness back in the toolbox and reaches

00:15:44.140 for something else no gentleness is embodying all of this right because one of the most gentle

00:15:49.500 things that we can do is answer the fool according to his folly so that he may not he himself might

00:15:55.860 not be wise in his own eyes so that what he might be humiliated therefore be humble therefore repent

00:16:02.760 and be safe so it is gentle to the fool themselves but here's the thing that we miss it's also

00:16:08.220 gentleness to everybody standing on the sidelines to everybody standing on the sidelines this is

00:16:14.500 what we miss right we look at somebody's rhetoric and we say oh yeah okay well what they're saying

00:16:19.040 is true you know i don't disagree with what they're saying i just disagree with how they're

00:16:23.140 saying it and and the reason why i disagree with how they're saying it is because the bible tells

00:16:27.460 us to be gentle and i don't think they're being gentle well one let's get our doctrine of god

00:16:32.260 right theology proper two let's biblically define gentleness uh three uh let's talk about you know

00:16:38.300 shaking somebody by their shirt collar if that's the only way to wake them up so they might be

00:16:43.680 saved, that actually is gentle, right? It is gentle to go into a house that's on fire and soon

00:16:50.480 to be burnt into ashes. If there's somebody sleeping in their bed, it is gentle to go in

00:16:55.440 there and scream to rudely awaken them from their slumber that's about to end in their destruction

00:17:01.800 to scream at them. There's a fire and grab them if necessary to shake them and wake them up and

00:17:07.920 get them out of harm's way. That is gentleness to the person themselves. But here's the other

00:17:13.320 thing. There is an element of gentleness to everybody on the sidelines. So back to Elijah,

00:17:18.540 right? It's Elijah and how he's addressing the prophets of Baal, but it's also what's at stake

00:17:27.280 is everyone in Israel on the sidelines who's watching. And one of the things that Elijah

00:17:32.320 says is this. He says, Israel, oh Israel, if God is God, worship him. If Yahweh is God, worship him.

00:17:40.960 If Baal is God, worship him.

00:17:43.740 Stop limping.

00:17:45.340 How long, oh, how long will you go on limping

00:17:48.340 back and forth between two opinions?

00:17:51.540 That is, I would argue, over 90% of Americans,

00:17:55.900 human beings globally, and sadly,

00:17:58.820 even evangelical Christians often,

00:18:01.320 the vast majority are opportunist, not ideologues.

00:18:05.620 So what Matt is doing is he is, for the most part,

00:18:09.020 well, maybe not even for the most part,

00:18:10.260 but he's doing a little bit of both. He is answering the fool, the ideologue, the person

00:18:14.980 who actually believes this baloney about transgenderism. He is answering the fool

00:18:21.980 according to their folly, which is perfectly biblical and perfectly justifiable, permissible

00:18:26.300 and necessary. I believe in this particular instance, that person is an ideologue. That

00:18:31.520 person has conviction. It's false conviction. It's bad conviction. It is religious. It is demonic,

00:18:37.640 but that person actually believes what they're saying but then matt is also going and addressing

00:18:41.960 all these people on the sidelines uh that's israel limping back and forth that's the person who's not

00:18:47.500 an ideologue but the vast majority of humanity that's actually um an opportunist and what matt

00:18:52.860 is trying to do is he's trying to push back the tide right and and actually show them hey there

00:18:58.280 there there actually is objective transcendent truth and it's over here and this is actually

00:19:05.240 the right side of history and it will be proven to be the right side of history. So why don't you

00:19:10.240 limp on over here? And I think that that is the result that this documentary, What is a Woman, 0.99

00:19:15.280 is having for many Americans across the nation that many people are saying, whoa, maybe there

00:19:22.600 is something here. And it's not even just because Matt is making the best arguments. It's not that

00:19:27.440 none of these arguments have ever been made before. And it's certainly not because the leftist

00:19:32.820 progressive neo-Marxist has good arguments. They don't have good arguments now, which is blatantly

00:19:38.360 obvious if you watch the documentary, but they've never had any good arguments. The reason why people

00:19:43.700 limp back and forth is not because, oh, well, it seems like there's validity on this side of the

00:19:47.800 aisle. Oh, well, there seems like there's a credible argument on this side of the aisle. No, that's not

00:19:52.300 why people limp back and forth. People limp back and forth because they are driven, the vast majority

00:19:56.580 of humanity are driven by the fear of man not facts but but opinions and not their own opinion

00:20:03.540 but the opinions of what they think others think of them that's where most people's identity

00:20:10.840 actually comes from it's it's not what they think of themselves and it's not what others even

00:20:16.580 objectively think of them it's what they think others think of them that's how people define

00:20:22.520 themselves for the most part and that's what drives people to choose a particular side so

00:20:27.200 what matt's doing is it's not just that he's crippling the opposition and showing the faulty

00:20:32.100 premise of their arguments and making fantastic arguments himself there's some of that but a lot

00:20:37.480 of this that the arguments are inconsequential we know what the truth is a lot of what matt's doing

00:20:42.380 is he's just he's revealing by by doing a high quality high level documentary to be viewed by

00:20:49.260 hundreds of thousands, perhaps even millions of people across the nation, what Matt is doing is

00:20:53.780 saying not just that this is the right argument, but he's saying a lot of people are over here.

00:20:59.040 You think, right, because the left is really loud, right, and the squeaky wheel is the one that gets

00:21:04.320 the grease because of the legacy media and because the left is infiltrated over the last 40 years,

00:21:09.780 all of our major institutions, they have postured themselves as though they represent the majority,

00:21:15.820 but they actually don't. And so what you're seeing is in droves, people are switching teams

00:21:20.320 right now. In droves, people are like, oh yeah, I'm not woke. Well, you were 15 minutes ago. I

00:21:26.140 know you were. I can look at your Twitter feed. You were woke. You called me a racist because I

00:21:31.140 was saying that CRT isn't a good idea. And that was literally, that was like last week. But what

00:21:37.780 we see is we see people switching teams and they're pretending as though they're not switching

00:21:40.880 teams and they've always been on the right team because that's what people do, right? Because of

00:21:44.740 our pride because nobody wants to be humiliated, you know, but people are switching teams and

00:21:49.260 droves. And the reason why is because of critical mass. Once a certain amount of the population

00:21:55.100 switches teams, then what you see is in droves, a bunch of other people follow suit.

00:22:00.460 And I think that that's part of what this documentary is doing. And that is a gentleness.

00:22:05.240 That is a gentleness, a love, a kindness, a goodness, a faithfulness to not just the opponent,

00:22:12.220 although I've already argued that there's a sense in which it's even gentle and kind and good

00:22:16.220 to the leftist that's lost their mind. But it's certainly a gentleness and a kindness to a bunch

00:22:22.560 of other people on the sideline, the third party, the mass of America, the mass of our population

00:22:29.400 that has been confused and lied to and bewildered on this particular topic. It's a gentleness to

00:22:37.180 them to say, hey, you can have sanity. It's okay. You can have sanity. You can be sane. You're not

00:22:45.680 crazy. And you're also, the biggest thing I think in the documentary is you're not crazy and you're

00:22:51.120 not alone. You're not alone. And it's not so much that that message right there, you're not alone,

00:22:56.340 is necessarily demonstrated in the documentary by Matt interviewing all these people who agree

00:23:02.040 with him, right? Because that's not the point of the documentary. It's to interview a bunch of

00:23:05.640 people who disagree with him to show the fallacies, to show the foolishness of this

00:23:14.020 foolish position. But even though he's not, it's not as though he's interviewing all these people

00:23:19.280 who have the sane, correct view, but what he is doing by simply making the documentary itself

00:23:25.220 and then it getting so much limelight and so much attention, he is showing the viewer of

00:23:30.840 the documentary that if they have his position, the sane position, the right position, they are

00:23:35.500 not alone. All right. So those are some of the good things that I like about the film. That being

00:23:40.280 said, you know, I think it was Jason Whitlock from The Blaze, Fearless. You know, he said,

00:23:46.360 not enough Jesus, not enough Jesus. And I would agree with that assessment because here's the

00:23:53.220 deal. It's as though at some level Matt is saying, look, this is an apple and apples are good.

00:24:01.600 we need apples right American American dream apple pie right they go hand in hand uh you're

00:24:09.120 an American you claim to like apple pie you can't have apple pie without apples uh okay but there's

00:24:13.660 one other step you can't have apples without orchards and to say this is an apple an apple

00:24:18.520 is good and we use apples and we like apples here in America um but but to not mention apple orchards

00:24:25.800 in a context in a culture that is currently chopping down apple trees and burning apple

00:24:31.620 orchards um i think that that that merits um some kind of attention that needs to be addressed and

00:24:38.760 i understand i've listened to matt waltz and his response to that uh that criticism and saying

00:24:43.020 well i just i didn't think it would be taken seriously that that's the problem that is i

00:24:47.920 think that is the the the play that's been run for the last 40 years that evangelical christians

00:24:53.240 bought into is that we won't be taken seriously unless we adopt the left's premise, secularism,

00:25:04.260 modernity's premise of neutrality. But that's a faulty premise. We can't adopt that. So here's

00:25:09.560 the irony. In the very same way that I can't tell a man who is now identifying as a woman,

00:25:14.720 I cannot address him as she, her, because that's lying to my neighbor and I'm commanded by God to

00:25:21.340 love my neighbor so therefore uh how do i love my neighbor well one of the ways that i love my

00:25:25.040 neighbor is not bearing false witness to my neighbor and about my neighbor i cannot lie to

00:25:29.200 my neighbor there's no such thing despite what jd greer says about pronoun hospitality that that's

00:25:34.460 that's an oxymoron pronoun hospitality is like saying jumbo shrimp right that that is an oxymoron

00:25:41.000 uh take those two words pronoun hospitality well the way he's using it pronoun means the wrong

00:25:46.080 pronouns so lying pronouns deceptive pronouns and hospitality which is meant to mean welcoming

00:25:52.380 warm accommodating loving so so basically pronoun hospitality if we define that it means lying love

00:25:59.520 deceitful kindness that's an oxymoron right so in the same way that we can't exercise as christians

00:26:07.860 um pronoun hospitality because it's an oxymoron it's a contradiction in terms um you know in the

00:26:15.480 very same way we also can't talk about apples and and and not stress or at least mention the

00:26:21.760 importance of orchards this idea of neutrality right that's the left is saying well let's be

00:26:27.160 reasonable let us come and reason together you leave your presupposition I'll leave mine and

00:26:32.520 let's come to this middle ground this neutral ground of neutrality well neutrality is a myth

00:26:40.560 everything is moral everything has theological and moral implications there is no neutrality and so

00:26:47.920 um i actually think going back to proverbs do not answer the fool right so answer the fool

00:26:54.680 according to his folly so that he will not be wise in his own eyes that's i think that means

00:26:58.300 use his own logic against him to show him um to show him his faulty premises to show him

00:27:04.200 that his argumentation doesn't actually hold up that he is effectively sawing off the branch

00:27:10.380 that he's sitting on right that's answering the fool according to his folly so that he would not

00:27:14.160 be wise in his own eyes and as i argued already so that all the bystanders would not think that

00:27:18.700 he's wise to their own doom and destruction uh but but we also have in the proverbs do not answer

00:27:23.540 the fool according to his folly lest you become like him i think one of the ways that the church

00:27:29.600 has become foolish become like the fool and answering them according to their folly is by

00:27:35.660 adopting the faulty premise of neutrality. Adopting the faulty premise of neutrality.

00:27:42.900 Now, Matt Walsh, to his credit, he would say, look, I'm arguing from nature. So yeah, I don't

00:27:48.000 invoke divine law and I don't invoke Jesus. I don't invoke God and Genesis chapter one and

00:27:53.040 Genesis chapter two. I'm simply arguing logic from nature. And I appreciate that. But I think

00:28:00.320 he needs to draw the connect the dots the direct correlation from nature to God that being said

00:28:06.080 though an argument from nature is to Matt's credit an argument in his defense an argument

00:28:11.100 from nature is an argument from God because it is an argument of God's word God's speaking now

00:28:19.080 let me explain this in theological terms we have both natural revelation and special revelation

00:28:24.820 god is speaking but god does not only or exclusively speak in special revelation

00:28:32.320 special revelation would be um the bible the old testament and the new testament this is god's

00:28:39.440 special infallible inerrant revelation and and technically um there there is special revelation

00:28:46.000 outside of the bible not today but there has been in in history um meaning anytime god spoke not

00:28:53.580 just inscripturated, but there were other times that God spoke that are not inscripturated,

00:28:58.480 meaning God speaking through the prophets, a prophetic dream, a prophetic vision.

00:29:03.960 Anytime the prophets prophesied, this is special revelation.

00:29:10.320 This is special revelation and not all of the prophets' messages to Israel and other

00:29:17.220 parties that were directly from God, his special revelation were inscripturated.

00:29:20.960 So we do have special revelation outside of the Bible, but we don't have it recorded and

00:29:26.040 I don't believe that it's continuing to happen today.

00:29:28.700 I don't believe in any new revelation.

00:29:30.680 That's special revelation, all right?

00:29:32.140 Natural revelation is also God speaking.

00:29:35.680 Psalm, I can't remember the exact chapter, but I believe it might be Psalm chapter 16,

00:29:42.060 but it talks about the skies, the heavens.

00:29:45.680 But speaking of the skies, that the skies, natural created skies, the clouds, the sunset,

00:29:51.920 the sunrise, the birds flying through the air, that the skies pour forth speech.

00:29:57.960 They pour forth speech.

00:29:59.300 Whose speech?

00:30:00.420 God's speech, right?

00:30:01.820 Romans 1 would be the most notable text on this particular doctrine of natural revelation,

00:30:07.200 right?

00:30:07.400 That God's attributes have been clearly displayed since the beginning of the world by what he

00:30:14.000 has made by creation god is speaking through creation not all of his attributes we need

00:30:20.260 special revelation for the gospel but natural revelation is sufficient to prove the existence

00:30:25.500 of god and that god is a orderly god a god of order not a god of chaos and that he's created

00:30:31.640 um his creation his created order has has divisions and distinctions like male and female

00:30:38.040 Now, all this can be ascertained by natural revelation.

00:30:42.580 How do we know?

00:30:43.160 Because it's affirmed by special revelation.

00:30:46.780 Special revelation, the Bible tells us

00:30:49.660 that God speaks in natural revelation

00:30:52.440 by what he has made.

00:30:54.280 So to make an argument from nature

00:30:56.320 is to make an argument from God

00:30:58.400 because God is the God of nature.

00:31:00.440 He's the one who created nature.

00:31:02.040 And so nature, because it was created by God,

00:31:04.500 says something about God.

00:31:05.860 So when we argue from nature,

00:31:06.980 we are making an argument from god's word god speaks in his word his that is his written word

00:31:14.100 but also his created word both special revelation the bible and natural revelation but i do think

00:31:21.320 that it's worth saying this this comes from god this comes from god so i think you could have

00:31:26.600 spent the majority of the documentary making arguments from natural revelation from nature

00:31:32.840 i don't have a problem with that but i think at some point though you do need to say and we can

00:31:36.820 trust nature. We can trust nature, that nature has order, that nature is not chaos, because

00:31:44.360 nature did not come out of chaos, right? That's part of the leftist religion. It's not science,

00:31:49.720 it is a religion. Part of the reason why they, you have to see that there's a straight line from

00:31:55.540 I am free, and freedom means an autonomous, creaturely, full libertarian freedom of each

00:32:02.820 individual to do whatever the heck they want and and that is true because of of nature the world

00:32:10.100 we live in is a chaotic world and the world we live in this chaotic world was created came into

00:32:16.340 being out of chaos right that's that's evolution that's the theory and it is a theory and it's a

00:32:22.920 false theory but the theory of evolution that everything came out of chaos it was all just this

00:32:27.960 this slow primordial soup evolving chaos and out of chaos came this chaotic world and because we

00:32:37.120 have a chaotic beginning and a chaotic context that we currently live in we can live by a chaotic

00:32:43.520 law individual autonomous freedom to do whatever we want including identifying as as a woman even

00:32:51.220 though i'm a biological man or at this point we got people identifying as unicorns and cheetahs

00:32:55.740 right? So that's, uh, I can do chaotic things because I live in a chaotic world and I live

00:33:00.200 in a chaotic world because it has a chaotic origin. Okay. That's their religion. That's

00:33:05.700 their religion. And in that sense, they are being consistent. Now it's faulty logic. It's, it's,

00:33:11.500 it's a false premise, but they are being consistent with, with their faulty logic.

00:33:16.420 And so for us to say, no, you don't get to do whatever you want. Um, you, you do need to live

00:33:21.900 in an orderly fashion have an orderly life because you live in an orderly world and you live in an

00:33:27.300 orderly world because it's been created by an orderly god right so you make your arguments

00:33:32.900 from nature from natural revelation but at some point you got to connect the dots you got to at

00:33:37.160 least mention it and i don't think that that takes away the credibility of the film and it's like

00:33:43.160 well they wouldn't have taken us seriously and my question for matt would be this and i ask this

00:33:46.880 charitably because I'm appreciative of this film and I'm appreciative of a lot of what Matt does,

00:33:52.160 his courage and his commitment to transcendental universal truth. But my question to Matt would be

00:33:59.660 this. Okay, so you didn't add that element into the documentary. This all tracks back to God,

00:34:07.960 that God is the basis for everything that we're arguing. You didn't add that in your documentary

00:34:12.320 because you didn't want the left to dismiss it.

00:34:15.440 So my question would be this.

00:34:17.220 So did the left dismiss it?

00:34:21.020 And the answer is, of course.

00:34:23.280 Not one review from the critics

00:34:25.160 by the Daily Wire's own admission, right?

00:34:28.780 Ton of viewer reviews.

00:34:30.780 I mean, people are watching this

00:34:31.800 in the thousands and thousands and thousands and thousands,

00:34:34.440 hundreds of thousands.

00:34:35.420 I mean, they had the Daily Wire,

00:34:37.320 the day that this was released,

00:34:38.480 had more subscribers that day

00:34:40.480 than they ever have before. And then, and then the next few days after that, they, they top their

00:34:46.460 record again of subscribers. So you, you've got, you've got so many people watching this, so many

00:34:51.660 user reviews, um, uh, reviews from the viewers, not a single review of the critics, right? Because

00:34:58.280 the critics all belong to the woke, you know, LGBT LMNOP regime with Hollywood. Um, so my,

00:35:04.880 my point is you left out the God stuff so that the left would take it seriously so that your

00:35:09.740 opponents would take it seriously. And yet they're still not taking it seriously. So why not just put

00:35:16.300 in the God stuff? And I'm not saying that needs to be the whole film. I'm not saying make a 90

00:35:21.100 minute film like The Passion of the Christ with Mel Gibson. That's not what I'm saying.

00:35:28.880 Make the film about what the film's about. And literally 85 minutes of that 90 minutes

00:35:35.240 can be exactly what the film already was.

00:35:37.620 But right there at the very end,

00:35:40.220 or however you wanna do it,

00:35:41.600 I'm not the creative genius behind it.

00:35:43.940 You guys did a great job.

00:35:45.320 I don't presume to think

00:35:46.800 that I could do something like that.

00:35:48.120 So you guys decide the how and the when,

00:35:50.400 but at some point,

00:35:52.400 you need to draw a straight line from,

00:35:55.480 you can't live this way

00:35:56.440 because this isn't the world that we live in.

00:35:59.560 And this isn't the world that we live in

00:36:01.780 because this isn't the God who made the world.

00:36:05.860 You need to live in an orderly way

00:36:07.520 because we live in an orderly world

00:36:09.700 because it was made by an orderly God.

00:36:12.280 And that's the basis for the argument

00:36:14.580 because without that, what you're doing

00:36:16.160 is you're hanging conservative values in midair

00:36:19.820 and it's just not lasting.

00:36:22.500 So it can cause the masses who are opportunists,

00:36:25.380 as I argued earlier,

00:36:26.900 it can cause the masses of Israel,

00:36:28.780 the masses of America to stop limping

00:36:31.340 between two opinions temporarily and to turn back to this value temporarily. But what will happen,

00:36:38.300 I've said this again and again, but I'm going to say it once more now. My concern is that I see a

00:36:43.880 conservative resurgence coming and I'm grateful for that. I'm grateful for that, but it's got to

00:36:48.520 be more than that. It's got to be more than that. Not just a conservative resurgence, but we need a

00:36:54.520 distinctly Christian reformation. Because what I see happening right now in droves is some people

00:37:02.060 are turning back to the Lord, but some people are simply turning back to Christ principles,

00:37:07.020 right? There are people who are coming, they are turning back to the principles of Christ

00:37:11.780 while rejecting the person of Christ. And I've said it like this, you cannot indefinitely,

00:37:19.560 maybe for a time, temporarily, but you cannot long-term embrace the principles of Christ

00:37:24.660 while rejecting the person of Christ and expect to have the peace of Christ. You can't. You just

00:37:33.800 can't. And so I think that you've got to root it in the God of the Bible and the God of this world,

00:37:42.940 special revelation, natural. So you can still do it all from nature. You don't have to do a full

00:37:49.420 reading of Genesis chapter one, two, and three, you don't have to do a theological, you know,

00:37:54.420 exposit, expositing of, of, of gender roles and, and, and nature between men and women from the

00:38:02.000 Bible. You can still make the argument from natural revelation, but you have to say that

00:38:05.820 natural revelation is credible because natural revelation is the word of God. It is God speaking

00:38:11.780 that nature itself, God is saying something about himself by what he has made, right? That's the

00:38:18.780 only reason why nature is credible, right? Apart from that, if nature really is just a product of

00:38:24.300 the Big Bang or matter being eternal and slowly, whatever, you know, scientists continue to change

00:38:29.960 the theory, you know, every five minutes because they keep finding out that their previous theory

00:38:33.520 was wrong. But whatever the current, you know, theory is around, you know, this secular Darwinian

00:38:40.560 worldview and the origin of things, my point is if you hang it right there, if that's not

00:38:48.500 debunked and you don't have to take 90 minutes to debunk it, take, take two minutes. But, but if

00:38:53.860 that's not debunked, then, then arguments from nature, they lose their teeth because nature has

00:39:01.120 no authority. Nature itself has no authority. If nature is simply the product of this catastrophic,

00:39:09.380 chaotic, slow evolving, whatever event, right? If, if nature isn't made by an authoritative God,

00:39:16.820 then what nature manifests to us is not authoritative itself.

00:39:21.660 And so you need to connect the dots.

00:39:23.520 All right, I'm going to end with this, okay?

00:39:25.320 So I debated whether or not to talk about this,

00:39:27.960 but I think that it's worth talking about

00:39:29.260 because now I'm directly speaking to the Christian,

00:39:33.700 and I think I've been doing so all along,

00:39:35.700 but for the Christian who's seeing the world lose its mind,

00:39:41.000 seeing just the absolute insanity

00:39:43.440 of these leftist, neo-Marxist, you know, homo-jihad regime that we have in our world today

00:39:51.100 and all the transgender madness and all these kinds of things, I want to encourage you with

00:39:55.720 2 Timothy chapter 3. This is 2 Timothy chapter 3, and this is precisely, here's the beautiful

00:40:01.060 irony, the biblical irony that you'll see here, I hope. This is precisely the chapter that is

00:40:06.920 often cited to, to, to say that it is the will of God. It's, it's, um, an inevitable reality that

00:40:14.640 things will get morally worse and worse and worse until Jesus comes back. That it is the will of

00:40:21.040 God. He has ordained, uh, that, that basically everything will just spiral downward until the

00:40:28.140 return of Christ. Um, I reject that. I reject that. I am post-millennial. And so I want to

00:40:34.220 show you from the text that pre-millennials love to quote, how it actually points towards

00:40:39.580 post-millennialism and how I'm encouraged with what's going on because I think the tides are

00:40:44.180 turning and I don't think they're just turning for a moment. It could be that. It could be that.

00:40:48.820 But the pre-millennial would say, just like stocks, right? The pre-millennial is doing,

00:40:54.360 you know, instead of calls, they're doing puts, right? They're shorting stocks because they're

00:41:00.060 betting on everything going ultimately down to zero going bankrupt and so they would say oh well

00:41:06.080 there's occasional spikes up but the ultimate trajectory is doubt so it's not perfectly you

00:41:12.800 know consistently gradual downward all the time without any spikes along the way now there are

00:41:17.460 some spikes from time to time and maybe you know maybe we're starting to experience a little bit

00:41:20.960 of a spike and maybe we'll have a little bit of pushback you know from conservative christians

00:41:24.920 and maybe this documentary represents some of that and blah blah blah but that's just a temporary

00:41:28.800 spike for a moment but ultimately the trajectory is downward well i would argue the exact opposite

00:41:33.700 as a post-millennial i don't think that it's always constantly perfectly going up i think

00:41:37.800 that there are dips but i think the ultimate trend is upward there are dips along the way

00:41:41.740 but i think ultimately it's upward and people say well how could you have that view just look at

00:41:45.620 america over the last 50 years and i would say that's the problem that right there you're saying

00:41:50.200 just look meaning only exclusively look at one nation america over one period of time a rather

00:41:57.960 short period of time the last 50 years that's your problem what i would say is look at the whole

00:42:05.320 world over the last 2 000 years since christ in his life death burial resurrection and ascension

00:42:12.540 to the right hand of the majesty on high where he is ruling both in heaven and on earth do we have

00:42:18.180 more or less christians than we had 2 000 years ago at the time of jesus more or less right i mean

00:42:25.560 people say, well, what about Hitler? You know, it was like the third right can be measured in a

00:42:30.320 matter of months. What about Babylon? What about Assyria? What about the Persians, right? What

00:42:37.980 about the Ottoman empire? What about, no, things are getting better. Okay. So look at this. This

00:42:42.520 is second Timothy chapter three, but understand this, right? This is what the premillennial will

00:42:46.760 quote all the time and it's scripture, but understand this, that in the last days, there

00:42:51.800 will come times of difficulty for people will be lovers of self lovers of money proud arrogant

00:42:57.000 abusive disobedient to their parents ungrateful unholy heartless unappeasable slanderous without

00:43:02.800 self-control brutal not loving good treacherous reckless swollen with conceit lovers of pleasure

00:43:09.780 rather than lovers of god that defines a lot of what we're seeing all that is true we see that

00:43:15.100 that's relevant for today continuing verse 5 having the appearance of godliness but denying

00:43:20.500 its power. Well, we don't really see that. We saw that for a little while, but the left has taken

00:43:26.160 off the gloves, right? They're done with the appearances of godliness, right? They did that

00:43:31.620 for a while, right? The appearance of godliness, well, we're the party of kindness. We're the party

00:43:34.860 of compassion. I mean, even Elon Musk recently came out and tweeted and said, yeah, you know,

00:43:39.540 historically I voted Democrat because I thought that they were the party of kindness. He doesn't

00:43:43.080 think that anymore, meaning what? They're no longer investing in the appearance of godliness.

00:43:48.260 they're just coming out full swing this is who we are we are the party of death we are the party of

00:43:54.780 molek we are the party that kills children in the womb and if we can't kill them in the womb then

00:43:59.220 we try to confuse them and chop off uh their reproductive organs um and and and pump them full

00:44:05.540 of of hormones and then if we can't you know be successful with that then we try to indoctrinate

00:44:09.920 them and brainwash them and turn them against their parents and against their country in public

00:44:13.700 school and if we can't let that's the left right they are the party of death mutilation perversion

00:44:21.500 that that is who they are that's what they stand for and they're not even trying to hide it anymore

00:44:26.380 i mean they are still a little bit but not nearly as much as they used to they're coming out full

00:44:30.700 throttle they are are taking off the mask and showing that the nasty hideous monster that's

00:44:37.040 been underneath that mask all along so the appearance of godliness verse 5 2nd timothy

00:44:41.620 chapter 3 verse 5 having the appearance of godliness but denying its power well there's

00:44:47.000 not a whole lot of that there was not not not as much anymore there's a reason i'll explain

00:44:51.500 here in just a moment um avoid such people there's the exhortation right there's there's the the

00:44:58.840 command that the apostle gives to his son in the faith timothy avoid these people stay away from

00:45:04.300 them okay he continues now verse 6 for among them are those who creep into households and capture

00:45:10.060 weak women, burdened with sins and led astray by various passions. Let me just say this. You won't

00:45:16.480 like this, but it needs to be said. Did you know we wouldn't have a single Democrat president in

00:45:20.180 the last 50 years here in America if women couldn't vote? If we got rid of women's suffrage? 1.00

00:45:27.220 Did you know that ironically, the suffering of women, you can trace back to women's suffrage? 0.53

00:45:33.160 Did you know that feminism hates women? And even first wave and second wave feminism had the 1.00

00:45:40.040 roots of a hatred towards women that women voting listen to me all right because some of you you're

00:45:45.700 like what what in the world is he talking about that is that is so um offensive look the reason

00:45:51.720 the reason why this is a problem is because what it ultimately sought to do was split the household

00:45:56.500 vote women did get a vote they always got a vote by proxy through their husband their household 0.92

00:46:02.900 and and i know you you want to you want to immediately point to the exceptions um but but 0.99

00:46:07.200 we can't major on the minor and minor on the major. The exception is not the norm. The exception

00:46:12.520 is not the rule. So yeah, there were some abusive husbands that didn't care what their wives thought

00:46:16.960 and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Yeah. There have always been sinners in the world, in this nation

00:46:20.680 and everywhere else. But men voting and in large part in that culture, men were married, right?

00:46:29.640 They were voting for not just themselves, but for their wives and children. It was the household

00:46:34.760 vote represented by the federal head of the household, the head of the household, the man.

00:46:41.760 But it was their vote, not just his vote. It was their vote. And he got the final say. Yes,

00:46:47.960 he got to make the final decision on how they would vote. Just like Joshua said, as for me and

00:46:52.840 my house, we will serve the Lord. Well, that man would say, as for me and my house, we will serve

00:46:58.180 the Lord in every realm of life, including the civil realm, the political realm and how we vote.

00:47:04.300 This is our vote. 1.00

00:47:06.600 Women's suffrage was to turn wives against their husband. 0.99

00:47:11.340 It was. 0.96

00:47:11.820 It wasn't just about valuing women, dignifying women,

00:47:15.300 saying that a woman has just as much value as a man.

00:47:17.540 No, no, no.

00:47:17.900 There were more sinister motives at play.

00:47:20.420 Maybe not by everyone.

00:47:21.400 I think a lot of people were just naive.

00:47:23.020 But that's the best case scenario we could say is naivety.

00:47:26.500 The worst case scenario for some was deceit and malice. 1.00

00:47:32.280 to to break up households to break up households and that's what feminism has always been about 1.00

00:47:40.140 liberating women from the prison of their home the prison of their marriage the prison of their 1.00

00:47:47.520 children and now what you have is a bunch of women who would love to be wives and mothers 1.00

00:47:53.680 and stay at home and they can't because feminism has shaped our entire economy to where now 1.00

00:47:59.540 it is virtually impossible for a single income household to financially sustain itself. 1.00

00:48:06.540 You know who loves feminism? Wicked men. Wicked men. Righteous women hate feminism because of 0.66

00:48:15.540 what it's done to them. Wicked men, who I would say were the origins, the inventors of feminism,

00:48:23.460 they love feminism, right? That greedy corporate employer, not that all corporate employers are

00:48:28.840 greedy, but some are that greedy corporate employer. He loves feminism because when a man 1.00

00:48:33.020 comes into his office and says, I have a wife and three children at home and I'm not being paid a 1.00

00:48:37.140 livable wage. He can now respond by saying, and what gives you the right to let your wife stay

00:48:42.400 at home? Why doesn't she come and work for our company too? So I can give each of you half of a 0.93

00:48:47.180 wage and get double the work. Corporate America loves feminism. Perverted men who want to have 1.00

00:48:56.860 sex outside of marriage they don't want to give vows to wife don't want to love a wife want to

00:49:00.720 sleep around and then leave it they love feminism and and democrats joe biden loves feminism because

00:49:09.500 he wouldn't be president if it wasn't for feminism he wouldn't be elected if it wasn't for feminism

00:49:15.980 so back to the text for among them are those who creep into households and capture weak women 0.99

00:49:21.580 now again there are exceptions to the rule right Ali Bestucki doesn't vote democrat my wife doesn't

00:49:29.040 vote democrat right there are women who are awake there are women who who can see but by and large

00:49:36.040 I'm just speaking in general terms right there are some women who could bench press more than

00:49:40.060 some men right because there are some men who are weak and some women who are physically strong

00:49:44.680 but that's not the generality that's not the norm likewise in the same way that on average in

00:49:51.700 general men can lift more weight physical weight than women well also in general men understand

00:50:00.000 politics and truth and vote better than women and that's why God has given women to men to

00:50:09.760 steward and love and nourish and cherish and lead. Adam was not deceived, the apostle Paul says,

00:50:17.980 but it was the woman who was deceived and became a sinner. Adam sinned, and I would argue from that

00:50:23.900 because he sinned with his eyes wide open, as it were, he was actually even more morally culpable.

00:50:29.740 So he's not less sinful, he's more sinful. So this is not an argument about how women are more 0.53

00:50:34.220 sinful than men. I'm simply saying that women are more easily deceived than men. And people

00:50:39.660 don't like that. They're like, that argument died a long time ago with our soft, squishy

00:50:45.520 complementarianism. We worked really hard to get rid of that notion. No, it's just, it's a reality.

00:50:50.620 It's not a notion. It's a reality. We live in God's world. And God created women to have

00:50:56.800 certain strengths that men don't have, like compassion. Women in general are more compassionate, 0.69

00:51:02.280 more caring than men. But see, that's precisely why you don't want a woman on the Supreme Court. 1.00

00:51:07.940 well what about amy coney barrett yeah praise god that's great that's great but it's not ideal 1.00

00:51:14.480 right so what does a woman do if if she is is if her the way that god has created her and

00:51:21.380 hardwired her if she is more bent towards empathy for instance and compassion and and sympathy and

00:51:27.740 and forgiveness and mercy and these kinds of things right this is why we send men to war 1.00

00:51:33.380 and and and what do we give to women children right because the the qualities of women uh

00:51:40.560 that's precisely what what young children need nourishment kindness patience forgiveness mercy 0.89

00:51:47.480 but what happens when when a woman who would thrive as a mother is now using her maternal

00:51:55.560 instinct being guided by her maternal instinct with a child predator well kentonji brown jackson

00:52:02.840 that's what you get soft on perverts soft on pedophiles right why you can say well what she's

00:52:10.060 doing is wicked and what she's doing is sinful and yeah yeah there is a sense of that but also

00:52:13.420 it's it's it's what we're doing by putting her in that position in the first place she is treating

00:52:19.600 this pedophile the way that that that a woman treats people which means then what do you do 1.00

00:52:27.020 surround her with the right people, namely her children. Her children. Because everything that 0.98

00:52:33.960 Kentonji Brown Jackson, all the qualities and virtues, right? Because they're not actually

00:52:39.560 vices. They're virtues misapplied. So they become vices or they create opportunity for vice.

00:52:47.560 They're actual virtues, but misapplied. And they're misapplied because she's in the wrong

00:52:53.440 context. She's in the wrong context. So let me go on. That was verse six. For among them are those

00:52:59.940 who creep into households and capture weak women, burdened with sins and led astray by various

00:53:04.380 passions. Verse seven now, always learning the truth, or I'm sorry, always learning knowledge,

00:53:11.980 yet never able to arrive at a knowledge of the truth. So there, it makes sense. They would fill

00:53:20.000 the ranks of academia. They love learning. Oh, they love reading and writing dissertations.

00:53:27.520 Oh my goodness. They love wearing robes and tassels and sitting in the seats of honor

00:53:33.740 with all their documents and letters, you know, in front of their name and all the diplomas on

00:53:41.000 their wall behind them in their office and all these different things. They love it. The accolades,

00:53:45.300 the praise. They love academics. They love learning. And they learn and learn and learn,

00:53:51.040 but they never arrive at the truth. They never arrive at the truth. But here's where we get

00:53:56.700 post-mill, okay? So all that sounds pre-mill, right? All that sounds like these are the last

00:54:01.820 days. These are the type of people that the last days will be defined by, marked by, and therefore

00:54:07.760 things are just going to get worse and worse. But notice real quick, before we go to verse 8,

00:54:10.940 Notice, none of that says the last days there will be progressively more and more of these

00:54:16.520 people.

00:54:18.440 See, that kind of messed you up, huh?

00:54:21.260 Right?

00:54:21.540 See, that's what we call eisegesis.

00:54:24.340 That's because you watched Left Behind growing up in your youth group and your youth lock-ins.

00:54:31.580 And so all of a sudden you have a presupposition that you may not even be conscious of, and

00:54:36.560 you're reading it into the text.

00:54:38.160 Not reading out of the text what God actually says, but reading into the text your foregone conclusions, your presuppositions.

00:54:45.420 See, you read the first seven verses, 2 Timothy 3, verses 1 through 7, and you immediately input that the last days, what we'll have is progressively more and more people who look like this.

00:55:02.460 That's not what it says.

00:55:03.960 First, what does the last days mean?

00:55:06.080 the last days is simply a label a placeholder for for the entire church age it's not the last days

00:55:14.280 meaning uh the last two years before jesus returned or the last 10 years before jesus returned

00:55:19.400 get the dispensational uh presupposition out of your head for a moment no the last days means

00:55:25.600 all of the time the church age in between the ministry of christ his first coming and his second

00:55:31.180 all of that is what the bible refers to as the last days all that so so far what we've had

00:55:39.580 just getting real practical here 2 000 years of last days and all that's being said by the apostle

00:55:46.760 paul to his son in the faith that he loves that he wants to persevere is he's saying that that

00:55:51.380 during this time period which for us we now know has gone on for at least 2 000 years and is

00:55:57.020 continuing. We don't know how much longer, but it's not over yet because Jesus hasn't returned

00:56:02.080 yet. All that Paul is saying is that during these last days, however long these last days last,

00:56:08.880 you can be sure that there will always be this group of people, people like this. And these

00:56:16.260 people will go from bad to worse. So there is a progression in the text, but it's not a progression

00:56:22.240 of a numerical growth, that there will be 10 people like this, but as we get further in the

00:56:28.920 last days, there'll be 100 people like this. That's not what's said. What's said is that

00:56:34.800 there will be bad people during the last days. From the first coming of Christ to his second

00:56:40.980 coming, there will always be some bad eggs. There will always be some bad people. Sometimes more

00:56:46.720 bad people sometimes less bad people not in a gradual progression but sometimes more sometimes

00:56:52.040 less under the sovereign plan of god and and these people the individuals themselves throughout

00:56:58.360 their lifetime will go from bad to worse these people will progressively become more immoral

00:57:05.200 and that's actually now that we're ready to read on verse 8 that's actually a good thing

00:57:10.640 the individuals it's not a progression of there will be more and more bad people no there will

00:57:15.820 just always be bad people and the bad people themselves will get more and more wicked and

00:57:20.980 that's actually hopeful that actually plays into the post-millennial eschatology believe it or not

00:57:27.920 ironically verse 8 just as johnny's and jamboree's opposed moses so these men also oppose the truth

00:57:36.760 men corrupted in mind and disqualified regarding the faith that's what you see in matt walsh's

00:57:42.640 documentary. You see people opposing the truth, people who are disqualified, people who have no

00:57:49.480 basis for their opposition, people who can't answer the most basic question that any conservative

00:57:56.580 political pundit could come up with. What is a woman? What is a woman? It's not that hard. No, 0.98

00:58:02.500 you do not need to be a biologist. My four-year-old and two-year-old daughter can answer

00:58:08.080 this question. A biological female, a female human being, an adult female, right? What is a woman?

00:58:16.380 It's easy, easy, but, but they can't answer it. They, they, they just as Johnnies and Jambres 0.98

00:58:22.100 oppose Moses. So these men always oppose the truth. They're corrupted in mind. Their minds

00:58:27.820 are not just immoral in terms of corruption, but they're warped in terms of, of their very

00:58:33.240 intellect. They're becoming more and more illogical because here's what sin does.

00:58:39.940 This is what immorality does. It forces you, just like lying, okay? Take that as an example. You

00:58:45.700 tell a lie and then what's the very next thing you inevitably have to do? You either have to

00:58:49.980 confess and repent or you have to tell another lie to cover it up, to remain consistently

00:58:55.580 inconsistent to be consistently inconsistent that's what the t is in the lgbt see the l and

00:59:03.860 the g and the b they don't like the t but the t is the consistent progression of the lg and the b

00:59:11.000 it is and the lgb uh the lgb they don't like the t because because it it it undermines the very

00:59:18.920 fabric of their existence lesbians and and gay males homosexuals and bisexuals they need gender

00:59:27.500 they need a binary system of gender for their position their identity to even exist so they

00:59:33.520 don't like the t they don't like the t that's trying to undercut but the t is the natural

00:59:38.900 progression that flows out of the l the g and and the b it is it's the fruit it is the fruit

00:59:46.480 Transgenderism is the fruit of homosexuality.

00:59:49.120 And to be fair, homosexuality, I would argue,

00:59:51.320 is the fruit of egalitarianism

00:59:54.400 and getting rid of the distinctions between men and women.

01:00:01.020 Homosexuality is the fruit of feminism. 1.00

01:00:03.720 And that's the irony. 1.00

01:00:04.600 Feminists are really upset about transgenders 1.00

01:00:06.980 because they want to get rid of females, right? 1.00

01:00:10.380 Feminists are really upset 1.00

01:00:11.640 because now hulking dudes like Leah Thomas 1.00

01:00:14.420 are taking all their trophies 1.00

01:00:16.200 and competing against girls.

01:00:18.680 But transgenderism was always 1.00

01:00:21.120 going to be the end result of feminism 1.00

01:00:23.600 because feminism denies and defies 1.00

01:00:27.640 God's design for men and women. 0.99

01:00:30.720 It says that there's really no difference

01:00:32.060 between men and women.

01:00:33.520 And transgenderism just takes that premise

01:00:35.680 and says, okay, that's all it is. 1.00

01:00:39.520 It's just taking the feminist premise 1.00

01:00:41.220 that anything you can do, I can do better. 1.00

01:00:43.800 I can do anything better than you. Good. Then we don't need female sports.

01:00:49.620 That's all it is. It's just the logical conclusion. It is being consistently inconsistent. You can't 1.00

01:00:54.520 be partially inconsistent. If you want to be partially inconsistent, then you need to be

01:00:58.480 consistently inconsistent, right? There is no halfway house between Christ and chaos.

01:01:04.720 It's either Christ or chaos, and there is no halfway house in between. Dave Rubin would be

01:01:09.400 an example. He wants a halfway house in between Christ and chaos. You can't have it. It's either

01:01:15.200 Christ or chaos. Transgenderism is God's judgment on the L, G, and the B, and on the giant F,

01:01:24.220 feminist, and on all the apathetic, squishy, spineless, passive men who let it happen on our

01:01:31.420 watch. That's what we're seeing. So verse eight, here we go. One more time. Verse eight, I'm almost

01:01:36.760 done, just as John is in Jambers. Who are John is in Jambers? These were the right, the right hand

01:01:41.520 henchmen of Pharaoh, his, his lead magicians that kept trying to one up Moses, but kept getting

01:01:49.540 demolished, right? Any, any of the signs and wonders that Moses performed in the 10 plagues

01:01:54.540 on Egypt, they, they would try to replicate. They would try to counterfeit those signs. That's all

01:01:59.940 that Satan can do by the way. So whether these guys were doing it by cheating, like a, like a

01:02:03.960 magician would do things from natural means, but it creates an illusion or whether they were

01:02:09.120 actually doing this by the power of Satan. And I would lean towards the latter. Either way,

01:02:13.480 even Satan with his supernatural power, which he has, it's still a counterfeit power. It is a

01:02:18.280 supernatural power, but it is a counterfeit power to God. And so everything that Satan does, all he

01:02:23.360 can do is he can counterfeit, he can replicate, but he cannot actually produce what God's power

01:02:28.920 produces. And so John is in Jambres, the right-hand henchmen, the chief magicians for Pharaoh,

01:02:36.000 they're opposing Moses in the same way, Paul tells Timothy that there will always be people

01:02:41.520 throughout this time between Jesus' first coming and his second coming, namely the last days,

01:02:46.500 there will always be some bad people. And those individual bad people over the course of their

01:02:50.360 lifetimes will go from bad to worse. They'll get progressively more immoral because their

01:02:54.800 inconsistency will cause them to be more and more consistent with that inconsistency and produce

01:03:00.920 even greater and greater depravity. But just as Johnus and Jambres opposed Moses, but they were

01:03:06.920 not successful, God one-upped them. They didn't one-up God. God's power was greater in the same

01:03:13.900 way. In the same way, these men will also try to oppose the truth, but they will not be successful.

01:03:21.060 Here's verse nine, but they will not get very far.

01:03:24.500 Boom, there goes your pre-millennialism.

01:03:28.300 Because the whole basis is things are gonna get worse

01:03:30.520 and worse, the last days, Joel, look,

01:03:32.060 we know we're living in the last days right now

01:03:34.000 because there are people who are disobedient

01:03:36.160 to their parents and ungrateful and unholy and heartless.

01:03:39.040 There've been people like that for 2,000 years.

01:03:41.520 Well, there are rumors of wars in Ukraine.

01:03:43.200 There've been rumors of wars for 2,000 years.

01:03:46.440 There's pestilence and disease and there's COVID.

01:03:49.560 there's been things like this for years.

01:03:53.240 There's always been these things, always, right?

01:03:56.560 And so with this, people say,

01:03:58.600 well, there's always been these things,

01:03:59.740 but look at verse nine, verse nine,

01:04:01.380 here's the final nail in the coffin.

01:04:03.620 Here's the crescendo where Paul peaks,

01:04:06.120 where he climaxes, he says,

01:04:07.900 but they will not get very far.

01:04:10.100 So he doesn't say things will get worse

01:04:12.000 and worse and worse and worse,

01:04:13.080 and more and more people will join them

01:04:15.440 until eventually it's everybody

01:04:16.980 except for this small little remnant of Christians

01:04:19.440 But Jesus will come back, and in the bottom of the ninth, right before Christians tap out,

01:04:23.460 Jesus will save them after a seven-year tribulation or right before it or in between, pre-trib,

01:04:29.160 mid-trib, post-trib.

01:04:30.120 That's not what it says.

01:04:30.900 It says, these men will not get very far.

01:04:33.360 Why will they not get very far?

01:04:35.000 For their folly will be plain to all.

01:04:37.440 That brings us right back, right back to Matt Walsh's documentary that I think in large

01:04:43.460 part was fantastic, and I appreciate.

01:04:45.100 They will not get very far, for their folly will be plain to all, as it was with those

01:04:50.420 two men, Jonas and Jambres.

01:04:52.260 Jonas and Jambres, it's not just that they didn't beat the God of Israel.

01:04:56.780 Their power, their counterfeit power, demonic power was insufficient, was inferior to the

01:05:03.080 power of the God of Israel.

01:05:04.040 It's not just that they didn't win.

01:05:06.020 They were publicly humiliated.

01:05:08.660 It's not just that they didn't win and they knew it.

01:05:10.600 They knew that they had lost.

01:05:12.080 Everyone knew they lost.

01:05:13.540 it was plain to all they didn't get very far but notice what the text says is it doesn't just say

01:05:19.700 hey they'll be unsuccessful these wicked people will be unsuccessful in their opposition to the

01:05:23.720 truth it also says not only will they be unsuccessful they not not get very far but it

01:05:28.020 says and their folly will be plain to all and that's exactly what this documentary does what

01:05:32.620 is a woman by matt walsh with the daily wire what it does is it doesn't just make sure that these

01:05:38.820 radical, child-hating, religious, pagan leftists don't get very far, that they don't succeed,

01:05:46.220 but it also, it answers the fool according to his folly so that he's not wise in his own eyes or in

01:05:51.400 the eyes of anybody else. It takes his folly and it publicly displays it so that his folly is plain

01:05:57.840 for all to see. And we need more of that. We need more widespread, publicly viewed, massive

01:06:05.580 pieces like this that take the folly of those who hate Christ and make it not only plain to them,

01:06:14.800 but plain to all. They need to be mocked, publicly mocked. That way, Israel, in our case,

01:06:24.940 America, no longer goes limping in between two opinions. But here's the deal. The two opinions,

01:06:30.840 It can't be chaos and conservatism.

01:06:35.400 It's gotta be chaos or Christ.

01:06:39.240 So take two minutes, Matt, in your next documentary

01:06:41.840 and draw the line to Christ.

01:06:43.580 Other than that, well done.

01:06:45.540 All right, thanks for tuning in.

01:06:46.480 I hope this has been helpful.

01:06:48.560 Thanks so much for listening.

01:06:49.840 But real quick, before you go, do us a small favor,

01:06:53.060 take a moment and leave us a five-star review

01:06:55.440 if you enjoyed the show.

01:06:57.040 This is undoubtedly the best way

01:06:59.380 that you can help us get this biblically faithful content

01:07:02.280 to as many people as possible.

01:07:04.420 Thanks so much.
