1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:11,680 Welcome to the GTP show. 2 00:00:11,680 --> 00:00:14,240 I'm your host Dylan with my cohost. 3 00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:17,200 Hello, I'm Jason. 4 00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:18,200 Okay Jason. 5 00:00:18,200 --> 00:00:22,520 Well, I'm hosting this podcast thing today. 6 00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:28,720 So this can start off, we are going to be finishing off season one of our podcasts. 7 00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:33,160 Oh, insert applause here. 8 00:00:33,160 --> 00:00:34,160 Thank you. 9 00:00:34,160 --> 00:00:35,160 Thank you. 10 00:00:35,160 --> 00:00:38,880 Anyways, good job Jason. 11 00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:47,400 I'm so glad that we've somehow done this in over two years of getting one season done. 12 00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:48,400 It's late. 13 00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:49,400 It is. 14 00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:50,400 It is. 15 00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:51,400 It's fine. 16 00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:58,600 So, we're going to finish off with kind of a fun, spicy topic. 17 00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:07,320 We're talking about twisting of the word, kind of false teaching. 18 00:01:07,320 --> 00:01:08,320 What do you want to call it? 19 00:01:08,320 --> 00:01:09,320 I don't know. 20 00:01:09,320 --> 00:01:10,680 What do you want to call it, Jason? 21 00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:14,880 No, I think we're just going to call this one twisted scripture. 22 00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:16,880 Twisted scripture. 23 00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:20,120 Like twisted sister, but not as good. 24 00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:21,120 Yeah, sure. 25 00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:25,920 I like how you said, GTP show. 26 00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:27,520 I haven't thought of that. 27 00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:32,160 It's usually just like GTP podcasts, but GTP show sounds pretty good. 28 00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:41,520 You know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, 29 00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:42,520 I like this color. 30 00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:45,520 It was, it was terrible. 31 00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:46,520 Yeah. 32 00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:50,920 So, do you have any? 33 00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:53,040 I mean, any thoughts of this? 34 00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:58,920 I was just thinking of, you know, this false teaching out there. 35 00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:05,480 We've talked about a little bit in the deconstruction of the Bible and things like that, where people 36 00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:09,880 are taking scripture and twisting it and lying. 37 00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:15,320 And there's also other, you know, things that go along with that, like with false teaching 38 00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:18,720 and false religions as well. 39 00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:25,040 And yeah, this claim or this, yeah, that we're not trying to fit into anybody. 40 00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:32,080 We are just simply talking about, you know, our views and, you know, we respect everybody. 41 00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:36,320 Doesn't mean we, we agree with you though. 42 00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:37,320 Bible does offend people. 43 00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:38,320 That's just how it is. 44 00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:41,880 I don't, I'm not trying to hurt people. 45 00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:44,160 I I'm not going to attack. 46 00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:45,160 I think that's the thing. 47 00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:47,640 It's like, I'm not trying to be aggressive. 48 00:02:47,640 --> 00:02:54,200 I'm being informative and same with Dylan's like information is being given whether that 49 00:02:54,200 --> 00:03:00,520 makes it, it's not trying to be aggressive and demeaning or anything like that. 50 00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:06,080 It's just, we're giving out information and sharing and studying and reading these things 51 00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:10,320 so that we can share with you guys, the viewers and listeners, because there will be some 52 00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:16,280 sort of video thing that I'll have on YouTube because I've been doing that. 53 00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:23,480 I think, I think, I think I'll actually call this episode, uh, top context broken scriptures 54 00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:24,840 or context broken. 55 00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:25,840 No, you know what? 56 00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:26,840 Twisted scriptures. 57 00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:27,840 That's a lot smoother. 58 00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:32,560 Also, a little parentheses of what this is. 59 00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:38,600 These are finale, twisted scriptures instead of, you know, a whole paragraph for the intro 60 00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:39,600 finale. 61 00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:40,600 Yeah. 62 00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:43,480 I know if we do season finale, twisted scripture that works. 63 00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:48,320 I'll deal with that because that's going to be scramble with my grands. 64 00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:49,760 Dang it. 65 00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:52,800 Because I'm going to make, I'm going to make this into a blog as well. 66 00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:55,840 Blog posts for us because it's season finale. 67 00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:57,120 So it's gotta be important. 68 00:03:57,120 --> 00:04:00,080 Is that going to be on the website? 69 00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:01,080 Yeah. 70 00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:02,080 Wow. 71 00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:08,400 So that's going to be on the gospel truth project. 72 00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:09,400 Yeah. 73 00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:10,400 Yeah. 74 00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:11,400 Okay. 75 00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:18,080 Where you can find all our socials and our merge and all that stuff. 76 00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:21,600 Everything is a plug, but it's not a plug. 77 00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:24,240 It's a, it's a hard, it's, it's definitely a plug. 78 00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:26,320 It's just, here's our plug. 79 00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:31,640 I do, I do want to take over the podcast for like two minutes though, before we get into 80 00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:32,640 your awesome topic. 81 00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:33,640 Yeah, no problem. 82 00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:34,640 Please go ahead. 83 00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:38,400 Is this, cause this is the end of season one. 84 00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:41,720 Season two is going to be absolutely insane. 85 00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:42,760 Yeah. 86 00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:44,280 It's going to be really, really cool. 87 00:04:44,280 --> 00:04:45,280 It's going to be awesome. 88 00:04:45,280 --> 00:04:48,880 It's going to be insane. 89 00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:54,520 And the reason why is because with season two, we're updating our logo on everything 90 00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:56,160 to the GTP logo. 91 00:04:56,160 --> 00:05:00,240 If you haven't seen it yet, go to gospel truth project.com, go to our Twitter page. 92 00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:01,720 It's already updated. 93 00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:07,160 And for season two, we're actually going to start doing individual graphics for each, 94 00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:10,120 yeah, each one that goes out. 95 00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:14,280 We're going to start doing a little bit more customization more. 96 00:05:14,280 --> 00:05:18,840 We started doing transcripts as well for people who can't hear, who are deaf. 97 00:05:18,840 --> 00:05:23,720 There will actually be transcripts available on our RSS feed. 98 00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:25,960 And I already started that. 99 00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:27,360 Yeah. 100 00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:33,060 And then we're working on becoming a Apple affiliates. 101 00:05:33,060 --> 00:05:36,800 That just means that there's going to be subscription based stuff that's available on Apple. 102 00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:37,800 It's the same concept. 103 00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:40,120 75% goes towards charity. 104 00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:46,400 And with the cool thing on the subscription side on Apple is going to have very exclusive 105 00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:47,780 extended episodes. 106 00:05:47,780 --> 00:05:52,120 So we might do an episode here and wherever you're listening, if it's not Apple and it's 107 00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:55,180 like an hour long, one Apple will be an hour long. 108 00:05:55,180 --> 00:06:00,820 And then there's going to be a bonus content episode, which is going to have another hour's 109 00:06:00,820 --> 00:06:05,200 worth of content based on the same subject, but more in depth. 110 00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:07,560 So you can enjoy us here. 111 00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:10,680 Our deep dive more or less. 112 00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:11,680 Yeah. 113 00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:16,760 You know, a deep dive on more what we feel. 114 00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:17,760 Right. 115 00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:21,200 Just, you know, because it's hard to fit everything into an hour. 116 00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:26,160 Well, as you guys can see, sometimes our episodes go over. 117 00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:32,640 So this way just allows us to get more of our information out and allows you guys to 118 00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:41,760 actually hear the full contents of what we're thinking and they get more discussion and 119 00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:44,000 just to learn more. 120 00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:51,840 That's the whole point of this is to talk it out and just to hear, you know, point of 121 00:06:51,840 --> 00:06:52,840 view. 122 00:06:52,840 --> 00:06:53,840 Right. 123 00:06:53,840 --> 00:07:00,480 And I think the kind of give a sample of that two episodes ago, I was, I was given the context 124 00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:02,520 for versus I still mention it. 125 00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:04,120 Like I will still mention it. 126 00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:09,080 Like for example, one of the verses we're talking about, Jeremiah, 29, 11, I'll give 127 00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:11,600 context for that. 128 00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:15,720 I'll say like, it's, oh, that's, that's verse this, but this is the context and this is 129 00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:17,200 where it's talking about. 130 00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:23,960 So in the extra bonus episodes will be going in depth to context to why the conclusion 131 00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:26,440 was given to that point. 132 00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:31,040 Instead of just sharing a verse and talking about the verse, we're going to give more 133 00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:34,200 in depth to the context and really study into it. 134 00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:39,600 And I think that's going to be very prosperous for everybody listening and everybody subscribed 135 00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:46,200 because that encourages us to continue to really give every single reason biblically 136 00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:48,680 why we believe what we believe. 137 00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:54,440 And it's really important to understand that the Bible wasn't, wasn't written with chapters 138 00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:55,440 and verses. 139 00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:58,520 It was written as letters and sections and scrolls. 140 00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:06,360 So we separated it by chapter book and verse to make it easier to read and easier to reference 141 00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:07,760 and stuff like that. 142 00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:11,200 But the Bible is written in its true form. 143 00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:13,640 It's not split up by verse and chapter. 144 00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:19,920 It's split up by a letter or split up by book or split up by like different ways like that. 145 00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:24,500 So when, when we want to study it, we want to make sure that we're not just pulling a 146 00:08:24,500 --> 00:08:31,080 verse out of context, coming back to topic and just read the one verse and say, that's 147 00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:34,240 what it's talking about because context, context, context. 148 00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:35,240 All right. 149 00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:36,240 You can take it back. 150 00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:37,240 Yeah. 151 00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:39,240 No, I'll just piggyback a little bit. 152 00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:40,240 What you said. 153 00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:41,240 It's exactly like that. 154 00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:44,760 I thought you brought up Jeremiah 29, 11. 155 00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:47,600 That's good verse. 156 00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:49,280 But yeah, it's like, you need to read that. 157 00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:57,440 You said read the verses before and after, because that's, I think one of the biggest 158 00:08:57,440 --> 00:09:01,320 ways that the word is twisted. 159 00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:08,320 And you know, all of that is kind of, it's, it changes everything because you can, if 160 00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:15,920 you just take, you know, like, I like, you know, I do not like cats and you take out 161 00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:19,560 don't and it's like, oh, why not? 162 00:09:19,560 --> 00:09:22,240 He likes cats or, you know, it's easy just to take out. 163 00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:23,240 Whoa. 164 00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:25,240 You got cut out there. 165 00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:26,240 Yeah. 166 00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:30,240 It's easy to take out verses out of context. 167 00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:33,440 It's easy to remove them. 168 00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:39,120 Just like, for example, John 11 35, if you take that out of context, you could say, oh 169 00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:40,880 yeah, Jesus cried. 170 00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:44,160 He cried a lot and you can kind of try to make the assumption that he cried all the 171 00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:46,920 time and that's why did he cry? 172 00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:49,720 It's really important to know. 173 00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:56,840 So yeah, there you are. 174 00:09:56,840 --> 00:09:58,920 We lost you for a minute there. 175 00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:10,880 Did you really or are you, I know, I don't think this, I think what happens is that I 176 00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:11,880 lost you. 177 00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:17,720 It just cut out, so I started talking and then you just came back when I mentioned it. 178 00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:21,720 But at the same time, I think Craig is recording both of us independently, so it's going to 179 00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:23,120 make sure that there's no gap. 180 00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:26,960 So I'll have some editing to do, but it's fine. 181 00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:31,600 That's the fun part, isn't it? 182 00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:35,560 Honestly, you heard what I said about Jesus wept. 183 00:10:35,560 --> 00:10:36,560 Yeah. 184 00:10:36,560 --> 00:10:37,560 Okay. 185 00:10:37,560 --> 00:10:38,560 I didn't hear anything. 186 00:10:38,560 --> 00:10:43,240 You were saying during that I was quiet the whole time and then I spoke up because I was 187 00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:44,240 listening. 188 00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:45,240 Okay. 189 00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:46,240 Gotcha. 190 00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:47,240 Yeah. 191 00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:50,280 So that's exactly what we're so yeah, your episode makes sense. 192 00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:53,640 We're talking about scripture that twisted. 193 00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:55,080 Yeah. 194 00:10:55,080 --> 00:11:00,320 So you brought up Jeremiah 29, 11. 195 00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:01,320 Yes. 196 00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:02,320 Yeah. 197 00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:06,120 That is, you know that one off of your head. 198 00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:07,120 Yeah. 199 00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:08,480 What is that? 200 00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:13,320 That's the for the for I know the plans that I have for you declares the Lord plans to 201 00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:17,080 prosper you and not to harm you plans to give you hope in the future. 202 00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:27,520 And it's like one of the top five verse most common and most known verses out of the Bible. 203 00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:28,520 Yeah. 204 00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:29,760 Even like, yeah, I kind of recognize this one. 205 00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:32,280 I think I know it. 206 00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:35,640 So let's talk about that. 207 00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:41,160 So how is this verse taken out of contents are twisted. 208 00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:42,160 So okay. 209 00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:49,560 So I know for listeners out there, we do have like we picked five verses that are we see 210 00:11:49,560 --> 00:11:53,480 as taken out of context are very common that people quote a lot. 211 00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:59,440 And sadly, both non Christian and Christian people quote it and use it out of context 212 00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:03,800 to either make fun or to back up points that are not biblical. 213 00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:04,800 Straight and simple. 214 00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:10,520 For example, this one, Jeremiah, 29 and 11, as you heard, it sounds like trying to prosper 215 00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:13,060 you not to harm you plans to give you hope in the future. 216 00:12:13,060 --> 00:12:14,200 So what is this about? 217 00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:16,160 So it's really important for context. 218 00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:22,000 Like we said before, if you open up Jeremiah, 29, 11, you actually see it's a letter, right? 219 00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:26,440 And this is really cool because it's not written to only one person at all. 220 00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:28,840 The you in there is written to the people. 221 00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:33,480 Jeremiah writes to, which are the exiled Jews in this instance. 222 00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:37,800 It's a response to a false prophet named Hannah Naya. 223 00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:43,200 And ironically, Hannah Naya had been like prophesying prosperity to them and it would 224 00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:44,840 be fulfilled within two years. 225 00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:46,640 That's not what was happening. 226 00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:47,640 Right. 227 00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:49,440 Not what was happening. 228 00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:50,440 And this chapter 29. 229 00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:52,640 Yeah, this is real quick. 230 00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:53,640 Okay. 231 00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:54,640 Yeah. 232 00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:57,640 So people know about Jeremiah. 233 00:12:57,640 --> 00:13:01,040 Jeremiah is the book written for Daniel. 234 00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:02,040 All right. 235 00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:04,200 Yeah, yeah, I'm right. 236 00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:06,880 I don't know why I was thinking Joe for a second. 237 00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:14,240 Jeremiah and he basically his job was the telepathy, the bad news. 238 00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:16,240 Like you guys, we suck. 239 00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:17,720 We need to be better. 240 00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:23,440 Like, like if we don't do this, God is not going to like we're going to be captured. 241 00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:25,240 You have to listen to me, please. 242 00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:30,760 It's like, I don't want to have to be the bearer of bad news, but guys, and this poor 243 00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:36,720 guy had never had a single convert or somebody follow him. 244 00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:43,560 Well, no, I talk about a rough, a rough ministry. 245 00:13:43,560 --> 00:13:47,720 I couldn't imagine you in youth group where nobody comes. 246 00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:52,480 Nobody shows up. 247 00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:53,520 Right. 248 00:13:53,520 --> 00:14:01,200 You can sum up Jeremiah, the whole book of Jeremiah and two sentences, cause he basically 249 00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:07,200 called men and women to turn away from all their fleshly desires, all their dependencies 250 00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:10,540 and everything like idols got false gods, et cetera. 251 00:14:10,540 --> 00:14:15,320 And all their stuff, they were practicing and said, they go back to Yoway, go back to 252 00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:16,360 God. 253 00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:21,200 And that's literally the whole book is that he was just like, you guys, this is wrong. 254 00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:22,880 We're going to get in trouble or whatever. 255 00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:25,640 He was like, this, this is walking away. 256 00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:31,920 And so with this out of context, that, that is the kind of context going on. 257 00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:38,040 And Jeremiah refutes Hannah and I, uh, and then says that false prophecy and says, it 258 00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:44,360 won't be more than 70 years before it's just sees freedom again. 259 00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:47,800 And they're like, we like Hannah and I is too. 260 00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:48,800 Yeah. 261 00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:51,640 We don't, you keep saying mean things. 262 00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:53,320 We don't like you. 263 00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:54,320 That's rough. 264 00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:57,720 It's like, Hey, I'm just being honest. 265 00:14:57,720 --> 00:15:01,920 You just Jeremiah is being straight up and this is Jeremiah in the Bible. 266 00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:05,160 This is not Jeremiah who was bullfrog right now. 267 00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:09,360 It's important that we know the difference because this has nothing to do with three 268 00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:10,360 dogs. 269 00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:12,920 So, all right. 270 00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:14,600 It's we're off the band. 271 00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:15,600 Yeah. 272 00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:19,880 We're off the tempted to believe that this verse is about like our personal wellbeing, 273 00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:23,160 but the big picture here is that it's not about us at all. 274 00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:27,960 These plans that that's being referred to when God is saying this, there are actually 275 00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:32,720 his plans for his people, like his as a whole, as a group, and they're going to ultimately 276 00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:37,640 point to Jesus and the promise for the future and the hope that we long for within this 277 00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:40,700 is fulfilled within Jesus death and resurrection. 278 00:15:40,700 --> 00:15:45,280 So when we see this verse, it's really easy to be like, Hey, that's not about us. 279 00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:48,960 This is about the promise that's coming to his people, which is the salvation through 280 00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:50,440 Jesus Christ. 281 00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:52,680 And we see that through his death and resurrection. 282 00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:54,480 It's ultimately about the Savior. 283 00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:56,800 So that's the that one out of context. 284 00:15:56,800 --> 00:16:01,080 So that I hope I hope that brings a little bit more context. 285 00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:03,920 I used to quote this verse thinking it's all going to be okay. 286 00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:04,920 It's all going to get better. 287 00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:07,760 But that that's that promise. 288 00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:11,720 It's always pulled and it comes back to the prosperity gospel on that one. 289 00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:14,300 But go listen to that episode. 290 00:16:14,300 --> 00:16:15,880 We did a prosperity episode. 291 00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:16,880 We did. 292 00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:18,520 Look at us go. 293 00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:19,520 All right. 294 00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:20,520 Wow. 295 00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:22,160 We're referencing back now. 296 00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:23,160 Like crazy. 297 00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:24,160 Love it. 298 00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:25,160 So number two. 299 00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:32,400 No, I would say Romans eight. 300 00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:34,400 Twenty eight. 301 00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:36,760 What's that? 302 00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:41,280 That's and we know, oh, that God. 303 00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:43,280 But the all good things. 304 00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:44,280 Yeah. 305 00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:45,280 Okay. 306 00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:46,280 Go for it. 307 00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:52,880 All things to work together or got good for good for those who love God to those who are 308 00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:55,600 called the quarterly to his plan and purpose. 309 00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:58,840 So I was saying good things. 310 00:16:58,840 --> 00:16:59,840 There would you. 311 00:16:59,840 --> 00:17:00,840 This is basically people. 312 00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:07,760 Oh, you know, the typical if you I love Jesus, only good things should happen to me. 313 00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:08,760 Good things. 314 00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:16,040 You know, God also, you know, always come back to poor Stephen. 315 00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:18,960 Oh, my God. 316 00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:24,280 Stephen was, you know, he was he's like, I love Jesus. 317 00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:26,000 I got the Holy Spirit in me. 318 00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:28,160 You know, like killing him. 319 00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:33,840 And they did like but he died like literally praising God. 320 00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:39,280 It's like but you have to remember, like nobody's called because we live in a fallen world. 321 00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:45,520 This is so taken out of context because, you know, it's like why do people get cancer? 322 00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:51,160 If God, you know, this is God so good, you know, like all good things come from him. 323 00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:52,960 So why is there bad things? 324 00:17:52,960 --> 00:18:00,800 It's like because if you read Genesis through the beginning, we add and Eve, like humankind, 325 00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:03,560 they chose, they chose. 326 00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:08,080 We chose to have a sinful world to not listen and obey. 327 00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:12,660 There's a reason there's turmoil like in the Middle East. 328 00:18:12,660 --> 00:18:17,760 You know, you look at that, the whole reason for that is, you know, starts with Abraham, 329 00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:23,800 Abraham, Abraham, you know, it's like go with your wife and have a son. 330 00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:24,800 I'm too old. 331 00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:25,800 That's crazy. 332 00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:27,800 I'm going to go see with my maid. 333 00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:34,400 So OK, well, now her that descendants are going to fight over that land and beat after your 334 00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:35,960 people. 335 00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:38,280 And then we get they finally get there. 336 00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:39,680 And it's like, cool. 337 00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:44,880 Well, go, go spend some spice to see if we take back our land. 338 00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:45,880 OK. 339 00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:47,880 It's Joshua, Caleb. 340 00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:49,360 Yeah, we can do it. 341 00:18:49,360 --> 00:18:50,360 Every else. 342 00:18:50,360 --> 00:18:51,360 No, not even the desert. 343 00:18:51,360 --> 00:18:52,360 And they go there. 344 00:18:52,360 --> 00:18:53,360 OK, what about everybody? 345 00:18:53,360 --> 00:18:56,960 Because we have to everybody make a new. 346 00:18:56,960 --> 00:18:59,520 And he's like, oh, why these people, though? 347 00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:03,760 OK, well, now they're going to be fighting for the land the whole time. 348 00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:10,480 And you see, it's it's it's because of those decisions that were made prior. 349 00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:12,520 That it's not easy peasy. 350 00:19:12,520 --> 00:19:17,800 There's all these problems because other people have screwed up in the past, too. 351 00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:19,080 We were given free will. 352 00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:21,480 We've been given free will from day one. 353 00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:24,440 And and that's the fault with this world. 354 00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:28,120 And that's the whole point of coming to Jesus, because with him and the new world, there 355 00:19:28,120 --> 00:19:29,120 will be no fault. 356 00:19:29,120 --> 00:19:30,120 There'll be none of that. 357 00:19:30,120 --> 00:19:33,960 And this will definitely mean that then. 358 00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:38,240 Well, yeah, just to kind of jump in and add on. 359 00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:39,240 Right. 360 00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:43,640 To add on, you can see the very first section, it says for those who love God, that that 361 00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:50,360 section right there translated from original like in this instance, Greek, you know, it's 362 00:19:50,360 --> 00:19:56,060 talking about who love God confidently, who who strongly love God. 363 00:19:56,060 --> 00:20:00,400 And when it says all things work together for good, it's it's not like a now good. 364 00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:01,520 It's an eventual good. 365 00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:07,120 So the word good doesn't necessarily mean happy or painless or financially successful, 366 00:20:07,120 --> 00:20:08,560 because that's what we think of. 367 00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:13,600 But God's ultimate good for us is to glorify us in eternity, which you can read in Revelations 368 00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:17,660 21 verse one through four. 369 00:20:17,660 --> 00:20:21,920 But beyond that, God works in and through us towards an ultimate good that serves his 370 00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:23,760 purpose for the universe. 371 00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:24,760 Right. 372 00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:27,780 To the event to the eventual end. 373 00:20:27,780 --> 00:20:32,160 So that's that's kind of the whole point is that we look at good and we compare it to 374 00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:35,440 our culture, our wants, our desires. 375 00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:39,920 When God looks at it and says this is the good for all mankind, so we will eventually 376 00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:46,640 be fulfilled within God's plan and then also in eternity with him be taken care of. 377 00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:50,040 I just wanted to add that part in there. 378 00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:53,240 Yeah, no, that is. 379 00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:54,240 Yeah, that's perfect. 380 00:20:54,240 --> 00:21:03,240 And it's just like we're saying good, you know, not right now necessarily eventually 381 00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:05,000 they will be good. 382 00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:08,920 That will rain. 383 00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:14,880 But as far as this world goes, there is illness, there is sickness because there is sin in 384 00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:18,080 this world, which keeps us from God. 385 00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:21,360 And I mean, if you're like, well, then why wouldn't God just make everything, you know, 386 00:21:21,360 --> 00:21:24,760 no sickness, none of that? 387 00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:29,840 Because taking away that, you know, where is your test of faith? 388 00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:34,400 Well, also, we wouldn't need him. 389 00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:36,360 There would be no purpose for God. 390 00:21:36,360 --> 00:21:37,360 Yeah. 391 00:21:37,360 --> 00:21:45,080 And the whole point is to rely on God, to, you know, be in this world to know his word. 392 00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:48,960 So yeah. 393 00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:56,360 We needed to have a whole episode talking about why is there evil and that I will gladly 394 00:21:56,360 --> 00:22:00,280 host an episode talking about that. 395 00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:03,280 Season two. 396 00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:04,920 Okay. 397 00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:05,920 I'll gladly talk. 398 00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:11,360 I'll gladly host that episode because there's a lot to it. 399 00:22:11,360 --> 00:22:15,080 And it's not just because God's like, you have to need me. 400 00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:20,080 There's so much more to it and we're given choices and choices and people are allowed 401 00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:25,000 to make choices and those lead to other choices and other situations. 402 00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:26,740 There's always consequences to everything. 403 00:22:26,740 --> 00:22:30,400 So we'll definitely talk about that on season two. 404 00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:39,520 So expect that season two season two, which season two is going to start in August, the 405 00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:40,520 first week of August. 406 00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:42,200 So just be proud. 407 00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:44,200 That's great timing right there. 408 00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:45,200 Yeah. 409 00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:46,200 Fantastic. 410 00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:52,600 I'm going to be a little busy that first week of August, but I think we'll make it 411 00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:53,600 work. 412 00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:57,680 It'll work out because you know, you and me have record schedules up to then, so we'll 413 00:22:57,680 --> 00:22:58,680 be fine. 414 00:22:58,680 --> 00:22:59,680 That is true. 415 00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:00,680 We do. 416 00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:01,680 Well, yeah. 417 00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:02,680 Yeah. 418 00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:03,680 We see. 419 00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:04,680 I got thinking. 420 00:23:04,680 --> 00:23:07,200 Cause I don't think the audience knows or anything. 421 00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:08,200 No, not yet. 422 00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:09,200 What? 423 00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:14,040 No, but so August, August, the beginning of August, this is put it this way. 424 00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:19,440 I will be no longer a bachelor. 425 00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:23,520 I will be getting married. 426 00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:27,120 So that is fun. 427 00:23:27,120 --> 00:23:28,960 I'm excited. 428 00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:30,160 So yeah. 429 00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:34,320 So that's my, I'm like, oh, the first week that's that. 430 00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:36,160 That's not that far away. 431 00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:37,600 No, no, no, no. 432 00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:38,600 It's two weeks. 433 00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:41,400 Well, two and a half ish. 434 00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:42,400 Okay. 435 00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:43,400 Less than two. 436 00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:44,400 Sure. 437 00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:48,240 That is crazy, but that's awesome. 438 00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:49,240 The job super excited. 439 00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:53,600 Both me and my fiance, we're excited for it. 440 00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:54,600 I hope so. 441 00:23:54,600 --> 00:24:00,480 And that's why I'll be honest over this past year, the episodes have probably been a little 442 00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:04,120 sporadic and all over the place because I have been busy doing that. 443 00:24:04,120 --> 00:24:06,600 Did not really share much of that. 444 00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:13,120 Jason knew that's why, you know, the season two now we've locked in a schedule now and 445 00:24:13,120 --> 00:24:15,640 like, so we've got it down, down, no more. 446 00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:19,080 Just kind of like before I was like, Hey, you want to report today? 447 00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:20,080 Okay. 448 00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:21,080 Yeah. 449 00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:27,760 So now we are going to move forward and actually have it scheduled because life's getting busier 450 00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:30,140 and things are happening. 451 00:24:30,140 --> 00:24:31,720 So I'm excited. 452 00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:32,720 Yep. 453 00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:38,880 Seasons are going to be 12 episodes each season and last six months. 454 00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:45,480 So six months, it swaps out to the next season, the next season, et cetera. 455 00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:47,760 So Mr. Host, what's next? 456 00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:49,720 Well, marriage. 457 00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:55,920 Oh, I mean, no, where are the notes? 458 00:24:55,920 --> 00:24:57,280 I just had up. 459 00:24:57,280 --> 00:25:00,280 Oh, so we're talking about Romans. 460 00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:04,880 Yeah, I did that one. 461 00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:05,880 Okay. 462 00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:12,400 And then you, what were you saying? 463 00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:16,840 Romans and then we're going to talk about Philippians 413. 464 00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:18,760 That's the next point right here. 465 00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:25,120 And that is, you know, the very, like, this is my, my brother's verse on his letterman. 466 00:25:25,120 --> 00:25:29,200 Like, you know, this is the one that I was on the promise ring for my fiance. 467 00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:36,400 And I gave her that one because it's the, I can do all things worse and you go ahead 468 00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:39,440 and read it because I know you're excited about this one. 469 00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:40,440 Yes. 470 00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:45,520 American standard version says I can do all things for him who strengthens me. 471 00:25:45,520 --> 00:25:54,360 And this verse is a great verse, but always taken out of context. 472 00:25:54,360 --> 00:26:00,520 The context here is actually verse 10 through 20, that whole section where you're telling 473 00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:02,640 me if you will take things out of contents. 474 00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:03,640 No way. 475 00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:04,640 Yeah. 476 00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:06,760 Sadly, this whole topic is about right. 477 00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:11,720 And sadly, it's like even religious leaders, like people in teaching positions always take 478 00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:12,880 stuff out of context too. 479 00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:14,600 And this is one of those things out of context. 480 00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:18,000 And the context is verse 10 to 20. 481 00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:19,000 We can see that. 482 00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:24,800 And like, I probably do now too, after hearing you say it so many times, I think I said it 483 00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:25,800 all the time. 484 00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:26,800 Like, Hey, come on. 485 00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:27,800 I think you all think it's your first. 486 00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:28,800 Yeah. 487 00:26:28,800 --> 00:26:31,040 It's just, it's an easy thing to just say. 488 00:26:31,040 --> 00:26:35,080 And people say all the time and they use it to defend their position or whatever they're 489 00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:36,080 doing. 490 00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:42,520 Um, but with, with this, however, Paul's comment is specifically referring to the ability of 491 00:26:42,520 --> 00:26:48,920 a Christian to endure under hardship and persecution, despite well-meaning use of the words, this 492 00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:53,240 text doesn't, it does not teach that Christian is empowered to accomplish any tasks simply 493 00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:55,160 because they are saved. 494 00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:58,960 The, this perspective can be found in the old Testament. 495 00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:04,320 Actually, when it talks about, um, God will allow him to do anything, kind of like get 496 00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:05,520 you through things. 497 00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:11,960 Uh, it refers to Jeremiah 32 17, which notes that nothing is too hard for the Lord. 498 00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:16,000 Job 42 to which declares God can do anything. 499 00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:21,360 And then God's closest followers have long known that with God, nothing is impossible. 500 00:27:21,360 --> 00:27:26,400 Whether Abraham's promise, son, Isaac, the people of Israel crossing the red sea or the 501 00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:32,100 people entering the promised land under the leadership of Joshua, God provides on time 502 00:27:32,100 --> 00:27:33,640 in his time. 503 00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:38,040 Every time Paul's confidence can, you can see his confidence can be found throughout 504 00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:40,040 his writings. 505 00:27:40,040 --> 00:27:46,280 Second Corinthians three, second, seven, eight, chapter 10, chapter 11, Galatians five, Ephesians 506 00:27:46,280 --> 00:27:47,560 three, Thessalonians three. 507 00:27:47,560 --> 00:27:53,400 These are all good things that are showing the confidence there that no matter what you're 508 00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:58,700 going through, you lean on God, rely on God and rely on the Holy spirit that's been gifted 509 00:27:58,700 --> 00:28:05,320 to us as being saved by Christ and accepting Christ that it will, he will strengthen us 510 00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:10,680 through anything that all these hardships and anything we have to deal with, he will 511 00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:13,240 give me strength to see it through. 512 00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:17,280 And that's something that, um, that is important to note. 513 00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:21,720 And especially when it came down to Job story, you can see that was the same concept, but 514 00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:27,760 it's important to note that that verse is not just saying you're, you're now gifted. 515 00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:28,760 Go fly. 516 00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:35,120 Yeah, no, that's, I think it's really good point though, is that it's, it's, you can 517 00:28:35,120 --> 00:28:41,720 do all things through Christ is more in the sense of, like you said, it is through the 518 00:28:41,720 --> 00:28:49,600 hardships of being a believer and the things that will come up with it. 519 00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:59,720 Like this, you know, the persecution, the judgment, the, you know, just the, the, like 520 00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:05,320 it says, it kind of goes along with the verse we were talking about, uh, you know, there's 521 00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:08,640 hardships and following Christ. 522 00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:12,600 And I think that's part of it is this taken out, like, yeah, this is a church, the hardships 523 00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:19,880 of Christ, not just the hardships of your day, but it's the hardship of, of your walk 524 00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:20,880 with Christ. 525 00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:27,000 I feel, you know, there's times where, you know, Oh man, they're praying enough. 526 00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:33,360 Even, you know, reading enough, these are all things that, you know, even as a pastor, 527 00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:38,800 like, you do think you think, Oh man, like, I should be doing this more. 528 00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:43,760 And that's, I think that's a verse definitely to keep in mind because you do want to, you 529 00:29:43,760 --> 00:29:47,720 know, keeping God first and doing all things through him. 530 00:29:47,720 --> 00:29:52,840 That's the key because he is, you know, he is our wrong. 531 00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:54,960 He is our strength. 532 00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:58,120 So we can do all things through Christ. 533 00:29:58,120 --> 00:30:01,440 We're going through, you know, what's that one country song where you're going through 534 00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:02,440 hell? 535 00:30:02,440 --> 00:30:03,440 Keep on going. 536 00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:06,560 I don't, I don't know country songs. 537 00:30:06,560 --> 00:30:07,560 I know. 538 00:30:07,560 --> 00:30:08,560 I know it's a song. 539 00:30:08,560 --> 00:30:09,560 I don't know. 540 00:30:09,560 --> 00:30:12,200 It's probably going through hell or something. 541 00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:18,080 I don't know, but you know, you know what I mean? 542 00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:21,480 You asked me something about the Bible, pull it up, but you asked me about country music 543 00:30:21,480 --> 00:30:23,200 is just right over the head. 544 00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:24,200 Oh, I know. 545 00:30:24,200 --> 00:30:25,200 I know nothing. 546 00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:29,280 I think he was at the fair one time. 547 00:30:29,280 --> 00:30:30,280 That's why I know it. 548 00:30:30,280 --> 00:30:36,160 Whoever does that song, he was live at the fair and I think we were all there. 549 00:30:36,160 --> 00:30:37,160 Oh no. 550 00:30:37,160 --> 00:30:38,440 That's right. 551 00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:45,160 I feel very like Dr. Seuss is right now. 552 00:30:45,160 --> 00:30:46,160 You know, it's true. 553 00:30:46,160 --> 00:30:52,520 And I just think of that this versus Philippians now thinking about that, you know, you want 554 00:30:52,520 --> 00:30:54,360 to see hard shirts and everything. 555 00:30:54,360 --> 00:31:01,960 It just reminds me of my verse Romans 1 16 then of being unashamed and always being ashamed 556 00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:03,240 of price or being on it. 557 00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:09,520 No, but the first being on a true unachieved of when you fall short and relying on that 558 00:31:09,520 --> 00:31:16,800 strength from God and you know, relying on that to be a rock. 559 00:31:16,800 --> 00:31:18,280 So I think that's it. 560 00:31:18,280 --> 00:31:19,280 Yeah. 561 00:31:19,280 --> 00:31:20,280 I don't know. 562 00:31:20,280 --> 00:31:24,880 I just let there in there because I haven't done in the past couple of podcasts. 563 00:31:24,880 --> 00:31:36,880 So but you know, I think we move on to I think point four here would be Matthew seven seven. 564 00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:38,240 Oh, OK. 565 00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:39,600 Yeah, that's one. 566 00:31:39,600 --> 00:31:40,600 That one's good. 567 00:31:40,600 --> 00:31:47,320 I hear that one way too much and you can see that on coffee mugs, t-shirts, calendars. 568 00:31:47,320 --> 00:31:50,440 It is ask and keep on asking. 569 00:31:50,440 --> 00:31:52,080 It will be given to you. 570 00:31:52,080 --> 00:31:58,120 See, you can keep on seeking and you will find knock and keep on knocking and the door 571 00:31:58,120 --> 00:32:00,160 will be open to you. 572 00:32:00,160 --> 00:32:02,880 Now the main issue is this. 573 00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:07,520 Now, oh, my God. 574 00:32:07,520 --> 00:32:11,520 You did not. 575 00:32:11,520 --> 00:32:17,760 OK, anyways, you know, don't even use my phone. 576 00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:21,760 I don't get to talk no more. 577 00:32:21,760 --> 00:32:24,080 Anyways, this threw me off like crazy. 578 00:32:24,080 --> 00:32:25,080 Oh, sorry. 579 00:32:25,080 --> 00:32:27,080 So no, it's all good. 580 00:32:27,080 --> 00:32:28,080 It's all good. 581 00:32:28,080 --> 00:32:29,080 Keep it kosher. 582 00:32:29,080 --> 00:32:32,080 One hundred, none less. 583 00:32:32,080 --> 00:32:42,920 So the asking and asking and asking now. 584 00:32:42,920 --> 00:32:52,400 If I were to ask something like, ask God, Lord, I want a brand new Ferrari. 585 00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:54,120 I want a brand new Ferrari. 586 00:32:54,120 --> 00:32:55,480 I want a brand new Ferrari. 587 00:32:55,480 --> 00:33:00,320 Now, look, it got to be like, OK, no. 588 00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:02,520 I can give you a yes or no. 589 00:33:02,520 --> 00:33:07,080 If I say, God, I want to grow another five inches. 590 00:33:07,080 --> 00:33:09,080 You know, why would he? 591 00:33:09,080 --> 00:33:10,960 He's not going to look at. 592 00:33:10,960 --> 00:33:13,520 He's not some genie. 593 00:33:13,520 --> 00:33:15,120 He's not a magical genie. 594 00:33:15,120 --> 00:33:21,880 You can, you know, oh, God, if I pray this five times, I'll answer it even says it in 595 00:33:21,880 --> 00:33:22,880 the Bible. 596 00:33:22,880 --> 00:33:29,760 God says his word says, do not repeat prayers and things like, you know, like the Peckins 597 00:33:29,760 --> 00:33:30,760 do. 598 00:33:30,760 --> 00:33:31,760 Right. 599 00:33:31,760 --> 00:33:37,720 No, yeah, you're talking about Matthew six, seven. 600 00:33:37,720 --> 00:33:41,880 Yeah, that's the first of three for it, right? 601 00:33:41,880 --> 00:33:45,000 It's right before the Lord's Prayer and says when you're praying, do not use meaningless 602 00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:48,600 repetitions as the Gentiles do supposed to be. 603 00:33:48,600 --> 00:33:51,000 They like to be heard with their many words. 604 00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:56,480 So they're not be like them for your father knows who before you ask him. 605 00:33:56,480 --> 00:33:57,480 Yeah. 606 00:33:57,480 --> 00:34:01,680 And I think that's, you know, one thing that you have to look at this verse. 607 00:34:01,680 --> 00:34:04,680 It's like, you know, ask, keep on asking. 608 00:34:04,680 --> 00:34:06,520 It will be given to you. 609 00:34:06,520 --> 00:34:11,600 So you will forget like it can't be like, you know, in the lottery, Lord, you know, 610 00:34:11,600 --> 00:34:14,120 I prayed my whole life and everyone the lottery. 611 00:34:14,120 --> 00:34:18,080 It's also it's what God's will is. 612 00:34:18,080 --> 00:34:23,920 God has a plan and God knows your chart when you're praying for things. 613 00:34:23,920 --> 00:34:24,920 That's my whole thing. 614 00:34:24,920 --> 00:34:29,160 Like it upsets me because he's like, well, I'm trying continuously for like a says on 615 00:34:29,160 --> 00:34:30,160 Matthew seven, seven. 616 00:34:30,160 --> 00:34:36,720 It's like, OK, what was was your heart in the right place? 617 00:34:36,720 --> 00:34:42,280 Sometimes God, I get answer with a yes or no or not yet. 618 00:34:42,280 --> 00:34:46,680 And I think, you know, when he answers with a not yet, you know, he wants you to be steadfast 619 00:34:46,680 --> 00:34:47,680 in your prayer. 620 00:34:47,680 --> 00:34:53,440 Sometimes, you know, this thing's like, you know, I prayed for my wife. 621 00:34:53,440 --> 00:34:55,720 For years. 622 00:34:55,720 --> 00:34:56,720 You know it. 623 00:34:56,720 --> 00:35:05,240 Like, I'm looking at that like I've been like 16, 15, and I was praying for. 624 00:35:05,240 --> 00:35:10,080 Oh, yes, dear Lord, I'm praying for that wife of mine. 625 00:35:10,080 --> 00:35:15,440 And you know, even being a men's group and, you know, and just, you know, in groups and 626 00:35:15,440 --> 00:35:18,440 stuff and praying for that. 627 00:35:18,440 --> 00:35:19,520 OK. 628 00:35:19,520 --> 00:35:23,720 I thought when I was like, you know, 18, I'm like, OK, let's get this going, God. 629 00:35:23,720 --> 00:35:24,720 I'm 18. 630 00:35:24,720 --> 00:35:26,560 I'm an adult. 631 00:35:26,560 --> 00:35:29,560 Get me married. 632 00:35:29,560 --> 00:35:36,560 Yeah, no, it's it's it's true. 633 00:35:36,560 --> 00:35:44,160 And you know, and now, you know, nearly 11 years, you know, you know, a decade later, 634 00:35:44,160 --> 00:35:45,160 here I am. 635 00:35:45,160 --> 00:35:46,160 And it's like, oh, OK. 636 00:35:46,160 --> 00:35:48,280 See, because it would have been my time. 637 00:35:48,280 --> 00:35:56,120 I never would have been in anywhere spiritually a leader equipped already. 638 00:35:56,120 --> 00:35:57,880 And prep for that. 639 00:35:57,880 --> 00:35:58,880 Right. 640 00:35:58,880 --> 00:35:59,880 True. 641 00:35:59,880 --> 00:36:00,880 Yeah. 642 00:36:00,880 --> 00:36:05,960 And it's like, you know, and some people are and it's like both of us to where we are. 643 00:36:05,960 --> 00:36:10,280 And it just worked out perfectly in God's time that you really do see that, which is 644 00:36:10,280 --> 00:36:13,200 the best thing. 645 00:36:13,200 --> 00:36:17,680 So it's knowing that like knowing that it's God's timing. 646 00:36:17,680 --> 00:36:19,240 God knows what's going on. 647 00:36:19,240 --> 00:36:20,240 We have no clue. 648 00:36:20,240 --> 00:36:22,240 So you can be praying. 649 00:36:22,240 --> 00:36:26,160 It's also there's a yes and a no and I keep on praying. 650 00:36:26,160 --> 00:36:31,560 Yeah, that's the biggest thing. 651 00:36:31,560 --> 00:36:37,800 I'll add in for this first because this verse is damn. 652 00:36:37,800 --> 00:36:41,640 This verse is a death smack in the middle of the Sermon on the Mount. 653 00:36:41,640 --> 00:36:43,000 If you don't know, it's Matthew seven. 654 00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:44,360 Read the whole thing. 655 00:36:44,360 --> 00:36:49,600 The text for this verse though is actually seven through 14 because it describes God 656 00:36:49,600 --> 00:36:55,600 as Januar as father, even eager to give good gifts to his praying children and kind of 657 00:36:55,600 --> 00:36:59,160 what Jesus commands his followers to continually ask and seek. 658 00:36:59,160 --> 00:37:03,840 No, I said he commands his followers to continually ask and seek with confidence that they'll receive 659 00:37:03,840 --> 00:37:04,840 and find. 660 00:37:04,840 --> 00:37:13,280 Now here's the interesting thing with this, which is whole thing is that it's not manipulating 661 00:37:13,280 --> 00:37:17,960 God's prayer or trying to manipulate God like, Hey, give me a million dollars. 662 00:37:17,960 --> 00:37:22,200 I'll give half of it to charity. 663 00:37:22,200 --> 00:37:28,320 It's prayer is never presented in scripture as a means to merely get our way as if he 664 00:37:28,320 --> 00:37:33,320 were merely a magic genie or system for success. 665 00:37:33,320 --> 00:37:38,180 Instead the verses are an invitation to interact with a generous father who loves to hear the 666 00:37:38,180 --> 00:37:40,360 prayers of his people. 667 00:37:40,360 --> 00:37:45,600 And the cool thing was this is that you can read the verses before it and we can see that 668 00:37:45,600 --> 00:37:50,660 the context actually tells us over and over that our goal is true righteousness, to follow 669 00:37:50,660 --> 00:37:53,720 and walk like Jesus did to ignore the flesh and get rid of the flesh. 670 00:37:53,720 --> 00:37:54,720 Right? 671 00:37:54,720 --> 00:37:55,720 We're dead to ourselves. 672 00:37:55,720 --> 00:37:56,960 We're reborn in Christ. 673 00:37:56,960 --> 00:38:03,200 And from the heart we can see Matthew five, six, five, 10, five, 26, one and six, 33. 674 00:38:03,200 --> 00:38:10,320 We ask God to become like Jesus, to look like him, to reflect him, to be more like him and 675 00:38:10,320 --> 00:38:13,160 what he, what God wants us to walk like. 676 00:38:13,160 --> 00:38:16,800 We asked to grow in the areas that he just addressed in the previous verses. 677 00:38:16,800 --> 00:38:22,200 We are like, we're seeking what should we, where should we find it? 678 00:38:22,200 --> 00:38:25,840 We ask him, we are seeking Jesus. 679 00:38:25,840 --> 00:38:29,240 And that's what's cool is that his righteousness will be open to us. 680 00:38:29,240 --> 00:38:35,480 And that this verse is taken out of context so much to be like, Oh yeah, you don't have, 681 00:38:35,480 --> 00:38:38,360 you don't have a nice car or a nice house. 682 00:38:38,360 --> 00:38:42,320 Well, you know, you just gotta keep on asking for it and you'll get one. 683 00:38:42,320 --> 00:38:45,440 Like, yes, God cares about how we live. 684 00:38:45,440 --> 00:38:49,800 God cares about our situation, but we got to realize that it's not about us and it's 685 00:38:49,800 --> 00:38:52,280 not about a way to get our way. 686 00:38:52,280 --> 00:38:55,920 But we pray that God's will be done, which is why the example prayer that we were just 687 00:38:55,920 --> 00:39:02,080 talking about talks about your will be done Lord on it as on earth as it is in heaven, 688 00:39:02,080 --> 00:39:03,800 because we're not praying our will. 689 00:39:03,800 --> 00:39:05,160 We're praying for God's will. 690 00:39:05,160 --> 00:39:06,940 So this is part of that. 691 00:39:06,940 --> 00:39:14,720 We're always constantly asking with our, from our heart, truly asking him to change us, 692 00:39:14,720 --> 00:39:20,920 to grow us and knowing him to adapt us to be more like what he wants us to be in our 693 00:39:20,920 --> 00:39:24,740 walk with him in this world that doesn't like him. 694 00:39:24,740 --> 00:39:27,400 So that was my two cents on this verse. 695 00:39:27,400 --> 00:39:31,000 Yeah, no, I, I agree with that. 696 00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:37,800 It's, you know, and there's times where God will answer your prayers and totally be like, 697 00:39:37,800 --> 00:39:38,800 there it is. 698 00:39:38,800 --> 00:39:39,800 And it's cool. 699 00:39:39,800 --> 00:39:43,800 You know, some people, you know, I've seen it where they just, they ask for something 700 00:39:43,800 --> 00:39:46,720 and God gives it to them. 701 00:39:46,720 --> 00:39:48,200 And this is how it is with some people. 702 00:39:48,200 --> 00:39:49,960 And it's like, well, that's cool. 703 00:39:49,960 --> 00:39:54,840 I just, I think it's happened only a few times with me. 704 00:39:54,840 --> 00:40:00,920 And I think of the time when I was praying for a TV, I was like, God, give me a TV. 705 00:40:00,920 --> 00:40:10,000 And, and I just remember, you know, I think we were working together. 706 00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:11,320 I'm like, I want a new TV. 707 00:40:11,320 --> 00:40:13,800 I want to pray about it. 708 00:40:13,800 --> 00:40:22,000 And then, you know, I found one, like, oh, I was like, oh, um, you know, then I found 709 00:40:22,000 --> 00:40:24,560 it at Walmart and I was like, oh, cool. 710 00:40:24,560 --> 00:40:27,920 The 55, I found like, you know, the 55 inch TV. 711 00:40:27,920 --> 00:40:31,400 I like, cool, it's like, I need like this, it's money. 712 00:40:31,400 --> 00:40:34,440 And then, you know, I go to the store and it was even cheaper. 713 00:40:34,440 --> 00:40:36,480 And at the same time, it was like 65. 714 00:40:36,480 --> 00:40:40,620 I was like, Jason, he provided a TV for me. 715 00:40:40,620 --> 00:40:45,720 And then I realized I prayed for the TV, but did I pray for transportation? 716 00:40:45,720 --> 00:40:52,360 Because Honda Accord don't fit a 65 inch TV. 717 00:40:52,360 --> 00:40:56,240 And then that's when I really, you know, had to start digging and trusting that something 718 00:40:56,240 --> 00:40:59,880 would happen because then you start calling all your buddies and they're all out of town. 719 00:40:59,880 --> 00:41:00,880 No, I can't do this. 720 00:41:00,880 --> 00:41:03,880 It's like, okay, God, just give me the person to call. 721 00:41:03,880 --> 00:41:07,880 And then, you know, I see, I see one of our friends go drive by and they're trying to 722 00:41:07,880 --> 00:41:08,880 take, what are you doing? 723 00:41:08,880 --> 00:41:09,880 I'm like, I just want a TV. 724 00:41:09,880 --> 00:41:13,600 He's like, dude, I can give you this from like, sweet. 725 00:41:13,600 --> 00:41:16,000 So you know, things like that. 726 00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:20,880 It's just like, you know, God knows has a plan for everything. 727 00:41:20,880 --> 00:41:26,080 And sometimes it doesn't feel like, you know, you know, what's going on. 728 00:41:26,080 --> 00:41:30,960 And when you are praying and listening, sometimes it's like, well, why God, why would you let 729 00:41:30,960 --> 00:41:32,080 this happen right now? 730 00:41:32,080 --> 00:41:36,320 But you just got to keep on going. 731 00:41:36,320 --> 00:41:39,440 Yeah. 732 00:41:39,440 --> 00:41:42,400 Because see, he will open the doors. 733 00:41:42,400 --> 00:41:49,800 So like it says in Matthew seven, he will open the doors, but you know, whether we're 734 00:41:49,800 --> 00:41:54,080 praying with the right content, you know, the right heart too. 735 00:41:54,080 --> 00:41:58,760 What else was I thinking about? 736 00:41:58,760 --> 00:42:04,600 Was it the last point we were talking about was Mark 10, 27. 737 00:42:04,600 --> 00:42:07,720 So you want to know that real quick? 738 00:42:07,720 --> 00:42:08,720 Yeah. 739 00:42:08,720 --> 00:42:09,720 Yeah. 740 00:42:09,720 --> 00:42:10,720 Mark 10, 27. 741 00:42:10,720 --> 00:42:14,720 I know this one because I've referred this way too many times in all my forums. 742 00:42:14,720 --> 00:42:18,600 Looking at them, Jesus said with people, it is impossible, but not with God for all things 743 00:42:18,600 --> 00:42:21,320 are possible with God. 744 00:42:21,320 --> 00:42:27,120 This thing is taken out of context more than Prius has taken off the highway. 745 00:42:27,120 --> 00:42:38,640 It's like waking him with me said, Jesus said with people, it is impossible with God, all 746 00:42:38,640 --> 00:42:40,800 things are possible with God. 747 00:42:40,800 --> 00:42:46,760 So that's basically another thing about like enduring endurance and things with your faith. 748 00:42:46,760 --> 00:42:52,320 If I jump off the side of a building and say, I'm going to fly cause all things are impossible 749 00:42:52,320 --> 00:42:59,560 with God, God will look at me going like, you did guess. 750 00:42:59,560 --> 00:43:02,680 Like no, you are not a bird. 751 00:43:02,680 --> 00:43:04,680 You cannot fly. 752 00:43:04,680 --> 00:43:05,680 Okay. 753 00:43:05,680 --> 00:43:10,320 You know, ain't no average for the last Airbender. 754 00:43:10,320 --> 00:43:11,320 You gonna die. 755 00:43:11,320 --> 00:43:20,360 It's just one of those things that's like, dude, you know, it's like, it's things within 756 00:43:20,360 --> 00:43:27,280 reason to God can heal and we can do all things like that, that are spiritual gifts that he 757 00:43:27,280 --> 00:43:30,600 is, you know, ordained and given to us. 758 00:43:30,600 --> 00:43:38,440 It's, but you can't expect, you know, you also have to be willing to help yourself and 759 00:43:38,440 --> 00:43:44,520 do things, you know, and trusting God. 760 00:43:44,520 --> 00:43:47,600 That's the biggest thing is that you're like, Oh, well I'm a Christian. 761 00:43:47,600 --> 00:43:50,760 So anything I can do, you know, it's all possible. 762 00:43:50,760 --> 00:43:55,040 I, those are the small things. 763 00:43:55,040 --> 00:43:56,280 Yeah. 764 00:43:56,280 --> 00:43:58,440 I have a, I have a cross. 765 00:43:58,440 --> 00:44:05,480 I cross, um, idea for, for this verse and there's context. 766 00:44:05,480 --> 00:44:13,520 So the context here is actually verse 17 to 31 in this context. 767 00:44:13,520 --> 00:44:19,840 And we, we see that this is where, um, Jesus is actually talking to this wealthy young 768 00:44:19,840 --> 00:44:24,160 man who asked Jesus about eternal life and gets an unexpected answer. 769 00:44:24,160 --> 00:44:25,160 Yeah. 770 00:44:25,160 --> 00:44:26,160 It's this one. 771 00:44:26,160 --> 00:44:27,160 Yeah. 772 00:44:27,160 --> 00:44:29,920 His response to Jesus shows his right. 773 00:44:29,920 --> 00:44:33,280 His interest in God is limited to by only one thing, his money. 774 00:44:33,280 --> 00:44:40,400 Um, so with this verse, you see it says with man, it is impossible not with, uh, but not 775 00:44:40,400 --> 00:44:42,500 with God for all things are possible with God. 776 00:44:42,500 --> 00:44:48,080 So what's one verse, just one verse before it, even just one verse of context before 777 00:44:48,080 --> 00:44:53,760 it says they extremely astonished and said to him, then who can be saved? 778 00:44:53,760 --> 00:44:55,040 Right. 779 00:44:55,040 --> 00:45:00,280 Just the one verse before he's saying with man, it is impossible because we cannot, it's 780 00:45:00,280 --> 00:45:05,600 the heart of the gospel here that we cannot do anything to be saved. 781 00:45:05,600 --> 00:45:08,680 Not on our own merits, nothing that we do specifically. 782 00:45:08,680 --> 00:45:13,200 We'll get a say, but, but for grace, you have been saved through faith and this is not your 783 00:45:13,200 --> 00:45:17,880 own doing, but as a gift of God, not a result of work so that no man may boast, which is 784 00:45:17,880 --> 00:45:20,320 Ephesians two, eight and nine. 785 00:45:20,320 --> 00:45:23,520 Jesus is not introducing a new way of salvation here. 786 00:45:23,520 --> 00:45:28,920 You can see in Hebrews 11, one to two, it says now faith is the assurance of things 787 00:45:28,920 --> 00:45:34,960 hoped for the conviction of things not seen for by it, the people of old received their 788 00:45:34,960 --> 00:45:37,520 commandment accommodations. 789 00:45:37,520 --> 00:45:43,520 So the passage then gives a list of people from the old Testament who were saved by faith, 790 00:45:43,520 --> 00:45:48,160 but the roster didn't begin with Moses or someone else who had received the law. 791 00:45:48,160 --> 00:45:53,720 Rather, it started with Abel, which is interesting from the second generation of people on earth. 792 00:45:53,720 --> 00:45:59,120 Someone who is, has been, or will be saved is saved by grace through faith, which is 793 00:45:59,120 --> 00:46:04,760 crazy ideology when people don't really think of it that way, but that is for what the Bible 794 00:46:04,760 --> 00:46:06,080 explains it as. 795 00:46:06,080 --> 00:46:08,080 Why do you say that again? 796 00:46:08,080 --> 00:46:11,080 That's crazy. 797 00:46:11,080 --> 00:46:16,520 It in Hebrews 11, it goes on to say the people who've been saved by faith rather than works 798 00:46:16,520 --> 00:46:22,040 and it goes all the way back to Abel, Lily's second generation of people. 799 00:46:22,040 --> 00:46:26,480 You're saying it's by faith, not by our works that were saved. 800 00:46:26,480 --> 00:46:27,480 Correct. 801 00:46:27,480 --> 00:46:29,040 And in the old Testament, here's the crazy thing. 802 00:46:29,040 --> 00:46:35,080 And this is what people need to understand is that all Testament, right. 803 00:46:35,080 --> 00:46:38,280 People in the old Testament were saved by works. 804 00:46:38,280 --> 00:46:44,040 Jesus created a new covenant that's outside of time because he's outside of time. 805 00:46:44,040 --> 00:46:48,640 His covenant was far beyond everything that anybody ever saw coming. 806 00:46:48,640 --> 00:46:53,960 And that's why it's like he died for all our sins and all in the term of all is Lily, all 807 00:46:53,960 --> 00:46:58,920 past, present and future, which is even more insane when you start thinking about what 808 00:46:58,920 --> 00:47:00,360 that context is. 809 00:47:00,360 --> 00:47:03,960 And in Hebrews 11, all means all, and that's all it means. 810 00:47:03,960 --> 00:47:04,960 Oh, right. 811 00:47:04,960 --> 00:47:08,440 But people back then thought I had to do all these things to be saved. 812 00:47:08,440 --> 00:47:12,760 But then you see the transition and then people were like, well, Jesus didn't die yet. 813 00:47:12,760 --> 00:47:15,080 How were people saved by faith because he didn't die yet? 814 00:47:15,080 --> 00:47:20,720 And it's like, because when he died, it covered all and it was by faith, people were saved 815 00:47:20,720 --> 00:47:24,340 from, from the beginning of time to the end of time. 816 00:47:24,340 --> 00:47:30,280 This is the standard and it's insane thing to see. 817 00:47:30,280 --> 00:47:34,240 And that's why you see this in this where it's like for all things are possible with 818 00:47:34,240 --> 00:47:35,240 God. 819 00:47:35,240 --> 00:47:42,100 It's really easy to say that God is not limited by what our mentality and how we see things. 820 00:47:42,100 --> 00:47:46,480 And this is just verifying that that God's not limited to by the things that we understand 821 00:47:46,480 --> 00:47:48,040 no one see. 822 00:47:48,040 --> 00:47:54,320 And as selfish as an arrogant that we are, humanity still struggles to accept this idea 823 00:47:54,320 --> 00:47:58,160 because Jesus, even in this instance, Jesus says it's difficult for the rich to trust 824 00:47:58,160 --> 00:47:59,640 God for salvation. 825 00:47:59,640 --> 00:48:06,240 Um, conversely, there are like several cases in the Bible where despised criminals do have 826 00:48:06,240 --> 00:48:08,620 faith like Levi, the tax collector. 827 00:48:08,620 --> 00:48:14,560 He became a disciple, Zach, uh, the key is cheated those that he collected taxes from, 828 00:48:14,560 --> 00:48:17,120 but happily pays them back after his conversion. 829 00:48:17,120 --> 00:48:21,680 You see the thief who was crucified next to Jesus and knowledge and embraces, um, help 830 00:48:21,680 --> 00:48:23,240 in his helpless state. 831 00:48:23,240 --> 00:48:29,720 Paul who persecuted, uh, who persecuted church gave his life, spreading the gospel to the 832 00:48:29,720 --> 00:48:31,260 Gentiles. 833 00:48:31,260 --> 00:48:35,440 So the cool thing here, I'll wrap this up so you can kind of take over again. 834 00:48:35,440 --> 00:48:44,440 Salvation is not restricted to those who grew up in the church, went to Sunday school and 835 00:48:44,440 --> 00:48:45,700 try to be good. 836 00:48:45,700 --> 00:48:52,080 It's easy and all too common to write certain people off as too far gone or beyond hope. 837 00:48:52,080 --> 00:48:58,040 But God also offers grace to the vilest of people, the traffickers, the rapists, the 838 00:48:58,040 --> 00:49:01,660 terrorists, the dictators, anybody that you can imagine that it's like that person's too 839 00:49:01,660 --> 00:49:03,240 far gone. 840 00:49:03,240 --> 00:49:08,160 When it comes to salvation, there's no difference between the good person and the criminal James 841 00:49:08,160 --> 00:49:09,160 two 10. 842 00:49:09,160 --> 00:49:14,360 I brought James in and who come to faith in Christ can be forgiven and saved. 843 00:49:14,360 --> 00:49:18,800 Jesus did not come to call the righteous, but call the sinners. 844 00:49:18,800 --> 00:49:22,840 Mark two 17. 845 00:49:22,840 --> 00:49:24,080 That's good, man. 846 00:49:24,080 --> 00:49:25,080 That's my pulpit. 847 00:49:25,080 --> 00:49:26,080 Yeah. 848 00:49:26,080 --> 00:49:27,080 Yeah. 849 00:49:27,080 --> 00:49:28,080 Right. 850 00:49:28,080 --> 00:49:33,160 Um, but no, uh, I think that's a good one. 851 00:49:33,160 --> 00:49:34,160 I think that's very true. 852 00:49:34,160 --> 00:49:36,800 I, you know, a question that was like, what do you think? 853 00:49:36,800 --> 00:49:37,800 Hitlers in heaven. 854 00:49:37,800 --> 00:49:42,040 I'm like, I don't know if he repented. 855 00:49:42,040 --> 00:49:43,040 I don't know. 856 00:49:43,040 --> 00:49:48,080 He, you can see by his life that he didn't have faith in Christ and he didn't trust God. 857 00:49:48,080 --> 00:49:52,440 You can see that by how we live life and how that worked out. 858 00:49:52,440 --> 00:49:57,760 It's not just saying I have faith in Christ, which is why it's important to know. 859 00:49:57,760 --> 00:50:03,120 Like I'm just saying, just because you brought this up, it's important to understand. 860 00:50:03,120 --> 00:50:11,200 And that is, it's a, I am surrendering my life to Christ as he is my savior. 861 00:50:11,200 --> 00:50:17,640 And as my, like, as my father in heaven, I'm giving my life to him because I trust in him. 862 00:50:17,640 --> 00:50:23,360 I have faith in him and believe that he was the son of God who was risen from the dead 863 00:50:23,360 --> 00:50:25,600 and died for my sins. 864 00:50:25,600 --> 00:50:28,640 And that conversion brings the Holy spirit. 865 00:50:28,640 --> 00:50:32,000 It is not just a, I believe in Jesus Christ and then you're dead. 866 00:50:32,000 --> 00:50:33,280 It's right before you die. 867 00:50:33,280 --> 00:50:34,360 That's not how that works. 868 00:50:34,360 --> 00:50:40,120 And cartoons make fun of it all the time, but it's, it's not just a verbal thing to 869 00:50:40,120 --> 00:50:41,120 say anyways. 870 00:50:41,120 --> 00:50:42,120 Yeah. 871 00:50:42,120 --> 00:50:49,640 But yeah, it's something more, which goes to our salvation episode. 872 00:50:49,640 --> 00:50:50,640 I can't hear you. 873 00:50:50,640 --> 00:50:51,640 Now I can hear you. 874 00:50:51,640 --> 00:50:52,640 It's connected to me. 875 00:50:52,640 --> 00:50:59,760 It's cause it heard me say it heard me talking about somebody to like, no, cut them off. 876 00:50:59,760 --> 00:51:02,440 Maybe I don't know. 877 00:51:02,440 --> 00:51:06,040 No, what did you say? 878 00:51:06,040 --> 00:51:11,000 I said, I said, go see our salvation episode to learn more. 879 00:51:11,000 --> 00:51:12,000 Okay, cool. 880 00:51:12,000 --> 00:51:13,000 Yeah. 881 00:51:13,000 --> 00:51:14,000 Agreed. 882 00:51:14,000 --> 00:51:15,760 I'm just saying nobody knows. 883 00:51:15,760 --> 00:51:20,800 Like I said, nobody knows what anybody's going through in the last seconds of their life, 884 00:51:20,800 --> 00:51:25,240 whether they accept, you know, leave or pass. 885 00:51:25,240 --> 00:51:31,720 So yeah, I said, yep. 886 00:51:31,720 --> 00:51:35,600 Um, yeah, man. 887 00:51:35,600 --> 00:51:38,000 Oh man. 888 00:51:38,000 --> 00:51:42,840 It's a, these verses now, these aren't, let's reiterate. 889 00:51:42,840 --> 00:51:49,480 These aren't the only verses taken out of context, but these are definitely some of 890 00:51:49,480 --> 00:51:53,520 the top verses taken out of context very easily. 891 00:51:53,520 --> 00:51:55,520 Yeah. 892 00:51:55,520 --> 00:52:05,760 And like Dylan mentioned, we, we, we can go on for a long time, which is why we only picked 893 00:52:05,760 --> 00:52:06,760 five. 894 00:52:06,760 --> 00:52:12,760 We picked the five top ones that we hear that, you know, like you mentioned, 20, no problem. 895 00:52:12,760 --> 00:52:13,760 So 896 00:52:13,760 --> 00:52:28,240 Oh, the whole Bible is taken out of context, but yeah, I think that's just the way that 897 00:52:28,240 --> 00:52:33,120 we need to like, you know, it's good to talk about certain topics and things that, you 898 00:52:33,120 --> 00:52:35,080 know, we find and see. 899 00:52:35,080 --> 00:52:38,400 Um, but yeah, there's a lot more than that. 900 00:52:38,400 --> 00:52:40,120 I feel like times. 901 00:52:40,120 --> 00:52:49,000 So I think it just comes down to make sure that you are using the tools you have to verify 902 00:52:49,000 --> 00:52:51,440 how you are reading and studying things. 903 00:52:51,440 --> 00:52:55,840 And don't just take what someone says is face at face value. 904 00:52:55,840 --> 00:52:59,760 Like dear Lord, please do not take what we say at face value and just be like, yep, they're 905 00:52:59,760 --> 00:53:00,760 right. 906 00:53:00,760 --> 00:53:07,920 I want you, we, we, we want you to read study. 907 00:53:07,920 --> 00:53:15,040 We're giving you points to study on to read in and to grow in to help you guide, help 908 00:53:15,040 --> 00:53:21,120 guide you to the right place to start studying by giving you context versus understanding. 909 00:53:21,120 --> 00:53:26,120 Like when you see this, read the verse before, read the context, understand what the translations 910 00:53:26,120 --> 00:53:28,120 are here. 911 00:53:28,120 --> 00:53:29,680 Yeah. 912 00:53:29,680 --> 00:53:40,960 Like you have to write that, you know, like I said before, Jason, like every time he brings 913 00:53:40,960 --> 00:53:43,120 in a wire, we're trying to pull it up. 914 00:53:43,120 --> 00:53:44,400 See if he's putting it right. 915 00:53:44,400 --> 00:53:46,840 You're saying it right. 916 00:53:46,840 --> 00:53:57,680 If there's anything, you know, always, always question everything and look like, look it 917 00:53:57,680 --> 00:54:04,000 up, equip yourself with the word and know what the heck's going on. 918 00:54:04,000 --> 00:54:08,960 Because if you don't know anything, you'll fall for everything. 919 00:54:08,960 --> 00:54:09,960 You know what I mean? 920 00:54:09,960 --> 00:54:16,760 If you don't know the word and let me hear something like they do with the deconstruction, 921 00:54:16,760 --> 00:54:20,280 which is another episode to check out. 922 00:54:20,280 --> 00:54:22,440 Like you could fall for it so easily. 923 00:54:22,440 --> 00:54:25,000 It's like, well, that kind of makes sense. 924 00:54:25,000 --> 00:54:26,000 No. 925 00:54:26,000 --> 00:54:31,920 All the verses read the first couple before and the couple after know it, understand it, 926 00:54:31,920 --> 00:54:37,360 look it up, study Bible, you know, like reference it. 927 00:54:37,360 --> 00:54:38,960 Don't just believe it at face value. 928 00:54:38,960 --> 00:54:45,960 Like you said, be like the Barons. 929 00:54:45,960 --> 00:54:52,640 If you don't know who that is, act 17 Barons are literally the ancient people of from Barioa 930 00:54:52,640 --> 00:54:53,640 Barrowia. 931 00:54:53,640 --> 00:54:58,720 So I'm a bad Barrow Barrowia Barrowia Barians. 932 00:54:58,720 --> 00:55:01,880 Anyways, they were right. 933 00:55:01,880 --> 00:55:10,880 They were eager to read, study and scripture and grow. 934 00:55:10,880 --> 00:55:16,680 And to the point where they they were preached at and they're like, actually what you're 935 00:55:16,680 --> 00:55:20,160 preaching, you're missing something that's actually incorrect here. 936 00:55:20,160 --> 00:55:22,840 Look, and it's like, great job. 937 00:55:22,840 --> 00:55:24,160 Like thank you for correcting me. 938 00:55:24,160 --> 00:55:29,040 Like I got corrected last week one time on one of the pod, one of the Facebook groups 939 00:55:29,040 --> 00:55:30,040 I was in. 940 00:55:30,040 --> 00:55:31,600 I was like, thank you for correcting me now. 941 00:55:31,600 --> 00:55:32,600 I know. 942 00:55:32,600 --> 00:55:33,600 And it's really easy to know. 943 00:55:33,600 --> 00:55:36,600 I need to go look. 944 00:55:36,600 --> 00:55:39,080 No, that was the whole topic. 945 00:55:39,080 --> 00:55:44,680 Our last our last podcast topic that we did about like once they'd always say it, I always 946 00:55:44,680 --> 00:55:50,260 believe that if you truly knew God, if you truly believed in him, there was no way for 947 00:55:50,260 --> 00:55:52,520 you to want to walk away. 948 00:55:52,520 --> 00:55:57,440 And I was quickly corrected because Bible says they true believers like Hebrew was talking 949 00:55:57,440 --> 00:55:58,920 to Christians. 950 00:55:58,920 --> 00:56:04,880 They can fall away and walk away because they fall to lies, deceit, or they just do not 951 00:56:04,880 --> 00:56:08,000 want the truth because they like gratifying the flesh. 952 00:56:08,000 --> 00:56:09,000 All these different things. 953 00:56:09,000 --> 00:56:12,240 I was like, it just makes it more heartbreaking in the long run. 954 00:56:12,240 --> 00:56:13,240 Sure. 955 00:56:13,240 --> 00:56:16,280 But I was but I was corrected. 956 00:56:16,280 --> 00:56:19,680 So that's what I was corrected on. 957 00:56:19,680 --> 00:56:22,720 It's crazy. 958 00:56:22,720 --> 00:56:24,880 Oh, yeah, man. 959 00:56:24,880 --> 00:56:27,920 Well, what else is in talking right now? 960 00:56:27,920 --> 00:56:30,720

people who don't are not Christians and don't understand God, they can ask us questions 969 00:57:08,960 --> 00:57:12,480 and we're more than happy to talk about them. 970 00:57:12,480 -->
