77 00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:02,280 Like, why are we saying Jesus? 78 00:05:02,280 --> 00:05:03,680 Well, it's the same. 79 00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:07,920 It's the same thing was like, when you translate things from one language to another language. 80 00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:14,960 For example, like if you go from someone in Mexico named Juan, and you come here in English, 81 00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:15,960 their name is John. 82 00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:20,440 That was dose. 83 00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:21,440 The next number. 84 00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:22,440 No. 85 00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:27,120 So yeah, so it's just like John is there is the name if you translate it. 86 00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:35,920 So it's the same kind of concept and with Jesus name mostly being mentioned in New Testament 87 00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:46,660 under Greek, that name can be translated to Joshua or Jesus both actual equally. 88 00:05:46,660 --> 00:05:50,920 One person was telling me that they felt like it was important to understand what his real 89 00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:54,320 name is and call him only by his real name. 90 00:05:54,320 --> 00:06:00,520 But nowhere in the Bible does it preach or teach that if you don't use the name in original 91 00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:10,720 language that that's the no no, because the Bible transcends time and is there to help 92 00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:16,480 you grow and learn and read and get to know him more. 93 00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:17,480 Right. 94 00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:22,120 And so if that's the case, then if it was that important, it would be mentioned, especially 95 00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:27,320 since knowing that there's so many different languages after the Tower of Babel and that 96 00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:29,200 whole story. 97 00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:31,880 It's not like it was a new thing that there's different languages. 98 00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:36,360 It was very well known and well played out. 99 00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:40,800 Like you ever try to read Hebrew or even speak it? 100 00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:46,440 There's no way I could do that. 101 00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:51,520 You know, it's like Shabbat Shalom, Jehovah Nisi, Jehovah Jivah. 102 00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:53,280 I'm like, those are the easy ones. 103 00:06:53,280 --> 00:06:58,040 And there's like, you know, all the just spitting you're talking. 104 00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:00,800 I can't really speak English. 105 00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:01,800 So I mean, like, good. 106 00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:05,920 Imagine trying to speak, you know, it's very strong consonants. 107 00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:09,280 And it's yeah, it's just you read it from right to left. 108 00:07:09,280 --> 00:07:11,160 It's a lot of different ways to do it. 109 00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:12,600 Like, yeah, I agree. 110 00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:13,600 It's a different language. 111 00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:18,560 And yeah, I don't think any there will not even I don't think but it's like there's nowhere 112 00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:20,400 in the Bible where it preaches. 113 00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:23,640 You must know him by his original name and the original language. 114 00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:25,480 And if you say it otherwise, then you're wrong. 115 00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:26,880 Like that's not something. 116 00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:28,160 But that was just a side topic. 117 00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:29,160 We're going off track. 118 00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:31,800 We'll get to that someday. 119 00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:38,000 Yeah, we wanted to talk about last week, we mentioned we were going to talk about the 120 00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:40,440 Americanized Gospel this week. 121 00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:41,840 We changed that. 122 00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:47,400 And the reason why we changed that is we started talking about what questions do we get on 123 00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:54,040 an often daily, if not daily basis that we want to discuss because like I said at the 124 00:07:54,040 --> 00:08:00,520 beginning of this podcast, we want to talk about these questions and and bring not only 125 00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:07,040 light to them, but to explore them to discuss them because if we're discussing them, that 126 00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:11,740 means that we can grow together like I might learn something or Dylan might learn something 127 00:08:11,740 --> 00:08:14,440 or whoever's listening might learn something. 128 00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:17,420 And that's kind of the point is that we want to discuss. 129 00:08:17,420 --> 00:08:21,420 So this week instead of the Americanized Gospel, which we will get to that is one of our topics 130 00:08:21,420 --> 00:08:26,240 for this podcast, we are going to talk about salvation. 131 00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:28,240 Yeah, salvation. 132 00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:35,280 That's yeah, I figured you want to jump in and say something about it. 133 00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:46,600 For me, youth ministry, being in children's ministry, the youth, especially this generation 134 00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:50,960 is just, I guess, I don't know if they're right below us or like two steps below us 135 00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:54,040 or what it is now. 136 00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:56,600 But just the questions. 137 00:08:56,600 --> 00:09:04,400 I see a lot of a lot of young kids like they are wanting to know they're very curious about 138 00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:11,440 about Christianity, about what does this mean?

360 00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:23,680 And we're going to go to my favorite verses, right? 361 00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:28,640 Galatians five. 362 00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:34,160 Yeah, Galatians five. 363 00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:39,600 Now if you ever read Galatians five and in 16 on it talks about keeping in step with 364 00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:42,040 the spirit, right? 365 00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:47,160 It even talks about it to a degree where in 16 it says walk by the spirit and you will 366 00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:49,440 not gratify the desires of the flesh. 367 00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:50,440 Right. 368 00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:52,560 Because the desires of the flesh are against the spirit. 369 00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:54,840 The desires of the spirit are against the flesh. 370 00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:57,300 So they're opposing each other. 371 00:23:57,300 --> 00:24:02,000 So you can't serve two masters basically. 372 00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:05,480 You can't serve two different things. 373 00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:10,160 And I think in 24 it mentions that saying that those who belong to Christ have crucified 374 00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:13,840 the flesh with his passions and desires. 375 00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:14,960 So what does that look like? 376 00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:19,640 So the fruit of the spirit, when it talks about fruit, usually anytime the Bible says 377 00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:23,600 fruits, it's talking about the actions or the things that come out of those actions 378 00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:26,000 that you live by or your life, right? 379 00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:29,840 Or not like watermelon and cherries, strawberries. 380 00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:30,840 Right. 381 00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:35,800 It's like actual things that come of your life, like things that you can see. 382 00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:43,080 So if I'm always talking to Dylan and if he's having a bad day and I talk to him and he 383 00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:47,920 starts having a better day, that shows good fruit in that sense. 384 00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:52,600 If I leave more frustrated because I know I screwed up and I know I'm just joking. 385 00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:53,600 Right. 386 00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:56,480 So there's a place of good fruit and bad fruit in that sense. 387 00:24:56,480 --> 00:24:59,360 And that's what fruit means in the Bible. 388 00:24:59,360 --> 00:25:06,320 But in 22 it says the fruit of the spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, 389 00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:08,880 faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. 390 00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:10,800 So all those things. 391 00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:19,320 So if you're living life and you accepted Christ and you are showing love, joy, peace, 392 00:25:19,320 --> 00:25:24,700 patience, and all those things to people around you and you live that life, that's showing 393 00:25:24,700 --> 00:25:29,520 that the fruit of the spirit is in you and that the spirit of God has rested upon you 394 00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:33,120 because it's been gifted to you as part of your salvation. 395 00:25:33,120 --> 00:25:34,360 Right. 396 00:25:34,360 --> 00:25:37,840 And I think that's really important because that's a really easy tell. 397 00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:39,440 I call it the Christian test. 398 00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:41,940 It's to see if they're actually Christian or not. 399 00:25:41,940 --> 00:25:46,000 And you can see a lot of people, if they don't speak those things, then they're not of God. 400 00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:52,240 They haven't experienced the true taste, I guess, of the Holy Spirit. 401 00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:57,840 They haven't experienced who God is and who Christ is and the love that Christ brings. 402 00:25:57,840 --> 00:26:01,360 If you truly experienced Him, that is how you live your life. 403 00:26:01,360 --> 00:26:08,240 It's kind of like a Christian litmus test, you know what I mean? 404 00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:09,240 Right. 405 00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:10,240 Yeah. 406 00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:12,880 So I think the next question we had was, what can I do? 407 00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:13,880 Right. 408 00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:14,880 Obviously, we talked about it. 409 00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:21,200 Yeah, we talked about it already saying like you accept Him as Lord. 410 00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:22,200 Right. 411 00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:23,200 So how do you do that? 412 00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:25,080 Have you ever gotten that question? 413 00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:27,920 Like how do I accept Him? 414 00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:34,000 Oh, I think it was, you know, your heart opening up your heart to receive. 415 00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:39,920 So I know what I want to say, it's open up your heart to receive the Lord. 416 00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:43,040 Kind of like, what is it, Romans 10, right? 417 00:26:43,040 --> 00:26:45,680 Romans 10, nine, I think is what you're getting. 418 00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:46,680 Yeah. 419 00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:47,680 Yeah. 420 00:26:47,680 --> 00:27:01,440 So, if you declare with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God 421 00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:04,040 raised from the dead, you will be saved. 422 00:27:04,040 --> 00:27:07,720 Or is it with your heart that you believe and justified? 423 00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:16,840 If it's your mouth, you profess your faith and are saved. 424 00:27:16,840 --> 00:27:21,720 As scripture says, anyone who believes in Him will never be put to shame. 425 00:27:21,720 --> 00:27:24,240 There's no difference between the Jew and the Gentile. 426 00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:30,840 The same Lord is Lord of all and originally blesses all who come on Him. 427 00:27:30,840 --> 00:27:32,840 All on Him. 428 00:27:32,840 --> 00:27:33,840 Yep. 429 00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:34,840 Yeah. 430 00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:37,920 I think that's good to know because back in nine, when you first started where it says 431 00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:41,960 confess, acknowledge and confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord. 432 00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:49,280 Jesus is Lord, if you look at what that is talking about in original, in this instance, 433 00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:55,620 Greek, because Romans is written in Greek, it is defined as recognizing His power, authority 434 00:27:55,620 --> 00:28:00,140 and majesty as God, right? 435 00:28:00,140 --> 00:28:05,840 And a lot of people, and you can see it with a lot of cults too, where they don't believe 436 00:28:05,840 --> 00:28:09,360 Jesus is God Himself, right? 437 00:28:09,360 --> 00:28:15,760 Yeah, that point of that is that you're acknowledging and confessing that Jesus is Lord and recognizing 438 00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:20,400 His power, authority and majesty as God, right? 439 00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:30,940 I think that's really important distinguishment because we see that a lot with people coming 440 00:28:30,940 --> 00:28:33,560 forward and saying, oh no, Jesus was a prophet. 441 00:28:33,560 --> 00:28:36,840 Oh no, Jesus was a really good man. 442 00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:38,840 He was the first man. 443 00:28:38,840 --> 00:28:39,840 Yeah. 444 00:28:39,840 --> 00:28:44,840 That right there is the other one. 445 00:28:44,840 --> 00:28:54,840 It's like, okay, if He was just a man, then that's another episode. 446 00:28:54,840 --> 00:28:58,080 Yeah, we can go into that too. 447 00:28:58,080 --> 00:29:03,880 Maybe that's our continuation for next week. 448 00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:12,480 So there was something, I think it's important to know that that doesn't mean that now that 449 00:29:12,480 --> 00:29:17,720 we know that salvation isn't earned, that's not through works, that doesn't mean we don't 450 00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:18,720 do works. 451 00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:19,720 I think that's important. 452 00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:20,720 What do you think? 453 00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:33,680 Yeah, it's very important because it's a relationship. 454 00:29:33,680 --> 00:29:39,880 I can't think of the words to put it right now. 455 00:29:39,880 --> 00:29:44,000 James 2, 20 to 24 puts it pretty well. 456 00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:48,220 It says, but are you willing to recognize you foolish spiritually shall of a person 457 00:29:48,220 --> 00:29:51,500 that faith without good works is useless? 458 00:29:51,500 --> 00:29:57,400 Was our father Abraham not shown to be justified by works of obedience, which expresses faith 459 00:29:57,400 --> 00:30:00,980 when he offered Isaac his son on the altar as a sacrifice to God? 460 00:30:00,980 --> 00:30:07,320 You see that his faith was working together with his works as a result of the works. 461 00:30:07,320 --> 00:30:13,560 His faith was completed, reaching its maturity when he expressed his faith through obedience. 462 00:30:13,560 --> 00:30:18,640 And the scripture was fulfilled, which says Abraham believed God and this faith was credited 463 00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:23,860 to him by God and by righteousness and conformity to his will. 464 00:30:23,860 --> 00:30:31,880 As he was called the friend of God, you see that a man, a believer, is justified by works, 465 00:30:31,880 --> 00:30:34,480 not by faith alone. 466 00:30:34,480 --> 00:30:40,120 This is an act of obedience as a born-again believer revealing his faith. 467 00:30:40,120 --> 00:30:41,840 And what does that mean? 468 00:30:41,840 --> 00:30:47,440 Well, if we go back to Galatians 5 and see the fruits of the Spirit, we can see it says 469 00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:53,160 in verse 23, when it talks about the things that it talked about like love, joy, peace, 470 00:30:53,160 --> 00:30:58,680 kindness, it says, against such things there are no law because the fruits of Spirit help 471 00:30:58,680 --> 00:31:01,880 you do things, right?

500 00:33:07,400 --> 00:33:12,400 They pull James to they pull James to all the time and say, Look, James to says if your 501 00:33:12,400 --> 00:33:15,760 face without works is dead, so you got to do it works too. 502 00:33:15,760 --> 00:33:18,920 So you have to follow these rules, blah, blah, blah. 503 00:33:18,920 --> 00:33:20,720 So what does it actually say?

507 00:33:31,920 --> 00:33:34,000 Can that kind of faith save him? 508 00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:38,600 No, a mere claim of faith is not sufficient. 509 00:33:38,600 --> 00:33:41,880 Genuine faith produces good works. 510 00:33:41,880 --> 00:33:46,240 If a brother or sister is without adequate clothing and lacks enough food for each day 511 00:33:46,240 --> 00:33:52,160 and one of you says to him, go in peace, like pray for you, keep warm, feed yourselves, 512 00:33:52,160 --> 00:33:54,600 and he does not give them necessities for the body. 513 00:33:54,600 --> 00:33:56,720 What good does that do? 514 00:33:56,720 --> 00:34:03,800 So to faith, if it does not have works to back it up, it by itself is dead and inoperative 515 00:34:03,800 --> 00:34:06,240 and ineffective. 516 00:34:06,240 --> 00:34:13,800 So this, this is, it's better to know that when it's talking this point, it's not saying 517 00:34:13,800 --> 00:34:18,800 that if you have, like, you got to do works now, oh, you're saved, do the works. 518 00:34:18,800 --> 00:34:22,040 No, it's saying that it will come right?

803 00:50:14,760 --> 00:50:19,520 And when you get to the scripture and what we call the word, the word was God. 804 00:50:19,520 --> 00:50:24,340 So and the word was made in the flesh, which was Jesus. 805 00:50:24,340 --> 00:50:29,280 So when we read in the Bible, that's why we you hear this term that it's the living word. 806 00:50:29,280 --> 00:50:30,280 It's living. 807 00:50:30,280 --> 00:50:32,340 It's the living and breathing word. 808 00:50:32,340 --> 00:50:36,580 And that's because Jesus, they get closer to him. 809 00:50:36,580 --> 00:50:42,940 You're reading about him through him and experience him by reading and knowing and understanding 810 00:50:42,940 --> 00:50:44,660 who he is. 811 00:50:44,660 --> 00:50:53,320 And I recommend to anybody listening, don't just read at face value. 812 00:50:53,320 --> 00:51:00,960 It's so easy to pick up the message, the message and just read the message or pick up an IV 813 00:51:00,960 --> 00:51:03,880 and just read the NIV. 814 00:51:03,880 --> 00:51:16,360 And you miss out on a lot of I would say meat of the context sometimes where it could be 815 00:51:16,360 --> 00:51:22,400 more and more informative if you read into other stuff. 816 00:51:22,400 --> 00:51:29,280 Like I like going between the message, ESV and amplified. 817 00:51:29,280 --> 00:51:35,140 And then doing those three are what we are able to do to like for me, I read those three 818 00:51:35,140 --> 00:51:39,400 because the message puts it in plain terms to for anybody to understand easy way for 819 00:51:39,400 --> 00:51:42,080 me to discuss it with others. 820 00:51:42,080 --> 00:51:46,800 And then you have the ESV, which is a little bit more meat to it where it's talking about 821 00:51:46,800 --> 00:51:51,120 like what the Bible was actually saying and then amplified where it just takes it and 822 00:51:51,120 --> 00:51:56,820 extends it as much as possible because Hebrew and Greek language, when you say one word, 823 00:51:56,820 --> 00:51:59,760 it means a lot more than just that. 824 00:51:59,760 --> 00:52:05,960 It means like it has a lot more context and amplified as like the fullness of the context. 825 00:52:05,960 --> 00:52:10,040 But can't be more. 826 00:52:10,040 --> 00:52:15,920 If you really want to just simplify even more, you just you read the Hawaiian, the Pidgin 827 00:52:15,920 --> 00:52:16,920 English. 828 00:52:16,920 --> 00:52:17,920 Right. 829 00:52:17,920 --> 00:52:18,920 Or the. 830 00:52:18,920 --> 00:52:27,480 Yeah, I mean, I was finding that, you know. 831 00:52:27,480 --> 00:52:31,400 Yeah, I mean, just reading it in general. 832 00:52:31,400 --> 00:52:32,400 Read it. 833 00:52:32,400 --> 00:52:33,400 You didn't somehow. 834 00:52:33,400 --> 00:52:34,400 I agree. 835 00:52:34,400 --> 00:52:37,960 Just you actually look like question. 836 00:52:37,960 --> 00:52:42,040 Have you heard about step step Bible app?
