WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.280 --> 00:00:10.000 You're listening to kf I AM six on demand? Is it? Marcus Marcius? 2 00:00:10.519 --> 00:00:15.119 Marcius, Welcome to the Jesus Christ Show. How can I help you? 3 00:00:15.439 --> 00:00:21.679 Marcius? My question is, my wife and I are senior citizen Christians 4 00:00:22.399 --> 00:00:26.399 and we're trying to buy our first home and one of the gods going to 5 00:00:26.480 --> 00:00:31.719 answer our prayer. Well, so what is the prayer that you want a 6 00:00:31.760 --> 00:00:36.600 home? Yeah? Do you think God doesn't want you to have a home? 7 00:00:38.920 --> 00:00:42.439 I hope? So why would God not want you to have a home. 8 00:00:44.600 --> 00:00:49.079 So we've been going through a lot of problems so far. So what's 9 00:00:49.119 --> 00:00:58.159 the problem right now? We're living that store to neighbors who are basically spoken 10 00:00:58.799 --> 00:01:03.640 marijuana and they don't listen. So we're trying to get out of it and 11 00:01:04.959 --> 00:01:08.319 get away from them and get into a home so they don't have to worry 12 00:01:08.359 --> 00:01:12.799 about them. And oh, because you're you're not in a separate home right 13 00:01:12.840 --> 00:01:19.319 now, you're in a closer proximity situation. Okay. So have you done 14 00:01:19.359 --> 00:01:25.239 the work with the money and your finances? Yeah? Okay, so you've 15 00:01:25.239 --> 00:01:32.319 got the money and you're looking for a home. Really, your prayers should 16 00:01:32.319 --> 00:01:38.359 be to make the best decisions in the process to make decisions on that are 17 00:01:38.439 --> 00:01:42.319 based on what you can afford and all those things. But outside of that, 18 00:01:42.480 --> 00:01:49.079 why would God. Of course, if your desires to have a home 19 00:01:49.239 --> 00:01:53.280 and you work hard and you put aside the money, then get a home 20 00:01:57.319 --> 00:02:01.560 and them been working for so far, We've been trying. But you know, 21 00:02:01.680 --> 00:02:08.000 sometimes things don't come when you want it. That's the thing. That 22 00:02:08.159 --> 00:02:15.240 is the thing. Now, nothing in life is free because God wants you 23 00:02:15.280 --> 00:02:22.360 to understand and appreciate and in this process, I mean there's going to be 24 00:02:23.240 --> 00:02:28.360 market things and stuff going on. But really when people ask about, you 25 00:02:28.360 --> 00:02:30.000 know, does God want me to have this? Really you have to look 26 00:02:30.120 --> 00:02:35.039 like, does God want me to have this job? Well? Is it 27 00:02:35.159 --> 00:02:38.759 something that is a sin to do? I mean, are you going to 28 00:02:38.840 --> 00:02:42.960 get into, you know, be a cameraman for a pornography? Well? 29 00:02:43.120 --> 00:02:51.800 No, But if it's just morally neutral or good, then there's no reason 30 00:02:51.879 --> 00:02:54.680 to pray about it other than to make the best decision you can. And 31 00:02:54.719 --> 00:02:59.400 when it comes to a home, sure, God would love for you to 32 00:02:59.439 --> 00:03:04.120 be in a home and love for you to be stress free from things. 33 00:03:04.199 --> 00:03:09.639 Now, does that mean that people won't smoke pot near your house? No? 34 00:03:10.919 --> 00:03:15.719 Someone can move in at any time, and to understand that if you 35 00:03:15.800 --> 00:03:20.840 live in an area where it's legalized, people can do that in their home. 36 00:03:21.719 --> 00:03:27.479 And it's unfortunate because unlike drinking, you know, people don't get contact 37 00:03:27.520 --> 00:03:32.599 highs from someone having a glass of wine. So I understand it's it's more 38 00:03:32.639 --> 00:03:38.599 troublesome, but absolutely, And the thing about hunting for a home is that 39 00:03:38.639 --> 00:03:45.120 it is really hunting. You're looking for, as realtors will tell you the 40 00:03:45.240 --> 00:03:47.280 eighty twenty rule, try and get it eighty percent that you want, and 41 00:03:49.080 --> 00:03:53.080 you know, if there's twenty percent still on the table that you don't get, 42 00:03:53.159 --> 00:03:57.800 that's fine too. But look for something in a neighborhood that you think 43 00:03:57.800 --> 00:04:00.719 you can grow in. But if you have the money and you have a 44 00:04:00.759 --> 00:04:05.000 plan as to where you know you want to be, you say, okay, 45 00:04:05.000 --> 00:04:09.199 well this is where I want to be. Financially for us, you 46 00:04:09.280 --> 00:04:12.439 might find yourself pushed out of that a little bit depending on the market. 47 00:04:12.800 --> 00:04:16.360 But morally, of course, God wants you to have a home and to 48 00:04:16.399 --> 00:04:20.879 do that if that is your desire you it's for your family, it's for 49 00:04:20.959 --> 00:04:25.639 the betterment of your family. But it doesn't mean that it won't take a 50 00:04:25.639 --> 00:04:30.000 little while to find it because you're you know, God wants you to have 51 00:04:30.040 --> 00:04:34.399 a family, but they don't. They don't start immediately. You go through 52 00:04:34.439 --> 00:04:41.319 your life learning about who you are. So know what you want, brother, 53 00:04:41.480 --> 00:04:45.360 know what you want, Know what is Thank you for your own important. 54 00:04:46.600 --> 00:04:51.279 You're gonna get that home, you know, and you're gonna sit there. 55 00:04:54.040 --> 00:04:57.519 Oh you'll get it. You'll get it, and it will be and 56 00:04:57.560 --> 00:05:01.639 you're gonna laugh about it too, because you're gonna maybe go buy houses that 57 00:05:01.720 --> 00:05:05.720 you think are your heart's desire. And then when you find the one that 58 00:05:05.879 --> 00:05:11.240 is right, just like you two found each other, you're gonna knows. 59 00:05:12.000 --> 00:05:15.079 You're gonna know, and you're gonna laugh, and God's gonna smile and you're 60 00:05:15.079 --> 00:05:18.279 gonna go, ah, Okay, this is what we were waiting for. 61 00:05:18.600 --> 00:05:24.079 Got it. It's better to wait for the right thing that God has for 62 00:05:24.120 --> 00:05:30.040 you or than to just take whatever. You're worth more than that. Your 63 00:05:30.040 --> 00:05:31.680 wife is worth more than that, your family is worth more than that. 64 00:05:32.120 --> 00:05:38.000 Be patient, keep looking, have that lists of wants for you and your 65 00:05:38.000 --> 00:05:43.000 bride, and get as close to that as you can. I know it 66 00:05:43.000 --> 00:05:47.480 gets difficult, I really do. When you're looking for something and there's no 67 00:05:47.560 --> 00:05:50.519 reason for you not to have it. Of course, God wants that for 68 00:05:50.600 --> 00:06:00.639 you. But if you want to get something that really suits or family. 69 00:06:01.680 --> 00:06:06.800 You know, you don't want to shoe. You want a shoe to fit 70 00:06:06.879 --> 00:06:12.480 you that's comfortable. And sometimes that takes a little more and it will be 71 00:06:12.519 --> 00:06:15.720 worth it and you will get that home. You will get that home and 72 00:06:15.759 --> 00:06:19.560 it will come together. But sometimes it just takes a little longer, you 73 00:06:19.560 --> 00:06:26.120 know, when it comes to prayer and connection. Most of the time, 74 00:06:27.199 --> 00:06:32.560 when you look at the things that God wants for you, that's for you 75 00:06:32.639 --> 00:06:44.680 to live a life using your gifts and abilities along the lines of excellence to 76 00:06:44.839 --> 00:06:46.920 be helpful for others, to be helpful for you, to the glory of 77 00:06:46.959 --> 00:06:54.120 God. Most things will fall into that category. That is your meaning of 78 00:06:54.199 --> 00:07:02.279 life as a believer, and most things are going to fit into that category. 79 00:07:02.399 --> 00:07:04.879 You know, having a car, to be able to get you from 80 00:07:05.199 --> 00:07:11.639 point A to point B, to be able to travel, no matter how 81 00:07:11.680 --> 00:07:16.680 small that is, to the next city or town, to be able to 82 00:07:16.839 --> 00:07:23.399 educate yourself, to have a home and security of any kind. Some people 83 00:07:23.439 --> 00:07:27.040 don't want to buy a home, and that's fine, you know, renting 84 00:07:27.199 --> 00:07:32.519 it has its pluses and allows people a different lifestyle or they don't need the 85 00:07:32.680 --> 00:07:38.319 yard or whatever. You make the decisions as to what is for you and 86 00:07:38.360 --> 00:07:44.399 your family, and God is thumbs up on that. However, there's always 87 00:07:44.560 --> 00:07:49.879 something that God wants to teach you, and often patience is a part of 88 00:07:49.920 --> 00:07:57.120 that. So people say, well, God's not answering my prayer. I 89 00:07:57.199 --> 00:08:00.759 said, well, you might have not gotten a clear yes or a clear 90 00:08:00.879 --> 00:08:09.560 no, and that in most lines of thinking becomes await or maybe, but 91 00:08:09.759 --> 00:08:16.480 usually it's not no. It's like, just be patient and it will be 92 00:08:16.519 --> 00:08:24.519 worth it. It will be worth it because many people try and rush things 93 00:08:24.720 --> 00:08:30.040 and then they end up getting something that's not right, but it will be 94 00:08:30.120 --> 00:08:37.120 right. Just take your time. Bill, Welcome to the Jesus Christ Show. 95 00:08:37.279 --> 00:08:41.240 Well, good morning. Either you already talked to Hit about this. 96 00:08:41.320 --> 00:08:46.200 Back to Genesis one, Let's create man in our own image may kind of 97 00:08:46.200 --> 00:08:52.279 our own image. If I think about that, it seems to imply that 98 00:08:52.440 --> 00:08:56.600 on day one of Adam's life he was actually an adult, let's say, 99 00:08:56.639 --> 00:09:00.639 twenty five years old, Which does that make sense? Well? Sure, 100 00:09:01.240 --> 00:09:03.720 okay, okay, and the same there are different ages. There are different 101 00:09:03.759 --> 00:09:09.759 ages that people would put at them that. But that's a fair assumption. 102 00:09:11.039 --> 00:09:15.200 Okay, just assume that, just say twenty five. Just pick an age. 103 00:09:15.759 --> 00:09:18.600 So him, on day one he was actually appeared to be twenty five. 104 00:09:18.720 --> 00:09:22.000 On day one, Eve appeared to be let's say twenty five. Take 105 00:09:22.039 --> 00:09:24.240 it back a day to all the animals. You know, there's always a 106 00:09:24.279 --> 00:09:26.600 thing which came first, the chicken to be able to head be the chicken. 107 00:09:28.799 --> 00:09:33.799 So on day one of all the first animals lives, they were again 108 00:09:33.879 --> 00:09:39.080 created with maturity. Let's use that word. Let's say a cow may have 109 00:09:39.120 --> 00:09:41.759 been one day old, but in essence it was like ten years old, 110 00:09:41.759 --> 00:09:46.039 because that would have been mature for a cow whatever like them. And if 111 00:09:46.080 --> 00:09:48.960 that's true, then if we move back a couple of days to all the 112 00:09:50.000 --> 00:09:52.799 plants, it would make sense that instead of creating a oak tree that's just 113 00:09:52.879 --> 00:09:56.960 a little bit sackling, like one inch high, God would have created a 114 00:09:58.039 --> 00:10:03.840 full grown three I'll say fifty years. So if on day one of every 115 00:10:03.919 --> 00:10:11.279 creation, God created everything with maturity on day one, by extension, it 116 00:10:11.279 --> 00:10:15.080 would make sense that on day one that God actually created the earth. The 117 00:10:15.080 --> 00:10:18.320 earth was only one day old, but in essence the maturity of that kind 118 00:10:18.320 --> 00:10:24.840 of a sphere may have been a million years old, And continuing back with 119 00:10:24.879 --> 00:10:28.399 the universe, on day one, where the universe was created, it could 120 00:10:28.399 --> 00:10:33.080 have actually been one day old, but it had a maturity of say thirteen 121 00:10:33.159 --> 00:10:37.000 billion. So when people ask me the thing, how can old Earth and 122 00:10:37.039 --> 00:10:39.919 young Earth be true? I tend to use that scenario. Is that theologically 123 00:10:41.000 --> 00:10:46.879 sound? Well, theologically there is. There is no specifics. There's nothing 124 00:10:46.960 --> 00:10:52.480 said about the age of the Earth in scripture, So saying theologically sound, 125 00:10:52.519 --> 00:10:56.159 I would say, is it against anything in scripture? No, And it's 126 00:10:56.240 --> 00:11:01.120 actually quite reasonable billed to say if you're going to you know, and they 127 00:11:01.840 --> 00:11:09.399 Walt Disney was famous for when creating Disneyland for going around to save money and 128 00:11:09.519 --> 00:11:18.279 also to reuse to going around all throughout southern California looking for older trees, 129 00:11:18.480 --> 00:11:22.320 and he would go up to people's houses and say, oh, you're getting 130 00:11:22.399 --> 00:11:24.840 rid of that tree? Can we take it? And would take it so 131 00:11:24.960 --> 00:11:33.159 that the park on day one would look grown. So it makes total sense 132 00:11:33.279 --> 00:11:37.240 to say, well, you're not going to start everything at you know, 133 00:11:37.399 --> 00:11:48.080 the little tiny seed. Although if that happened, it would still it would 134 00:11:48.240 --> 00:11:52.879 it could still possibly tie into your theory, because it would take the time 135 00:11:52.919 --> 00:11:58.120 to grow. Even though day is the term yawn is used, there's more 136 00:11:58.200 --> 00:12:03.000 to it than that. I think that's reasonable. What's not reasonable is for 137 00:12:03.080 --> 00:12:11.799 people to think, based on genealogy that the Earth is six thousand years old. 138 00:12:11.080 --> 00:12:16.559 That's not fair. It's not intellectually fair, it's not biblically fair. 139 00:12:16.480 --> 00:12:22.360 But yes, I love the way you think that if things were already matured 140 00:12:22.519 --> 00:12:28.720 at that age, they would have the signs of maturity without having the actual 141 00:12:28.799 --> 00:12:35.639 time or age to become that mature. Therefore, at any time, the 142 00:12:37.120 --> 00:12:43.360 Earth, the universe, everything could be aged by necessity rather than by time. 143 00:12:43.279 --> 00:12:48.879 I think that's a fair assumption the six thousand years old. This program 144 00:12:50.320 --> 00:12:54.919 has never adhered to the six thousand years old age and thinks that it's a 145 00:12:54.080 --> 00:13:01.000 horrible way to gauge the age by looking through genealogy in the Bible. Too 146 00:13:01.080 --> 00:13:09.080 much to be assumed there. And you know what happens when you assume Richard, 147 00:13:09.399 --> 00:13:13.039 welcome to the Jesus Christ Show. Thank you my pleasure. How can 148 00:13:13.039 --> 00:13:18.519 I help you? One question I have for you. You know, the 149 00:13:18.559 --> 00:13:22.039 Bible talks about the end of days, and the Bible talks about when Jesus 150 00:13:22.159 --> 00:13:26.600 Christ is coming back to this earth. Is he going to are you going 151 00:13:26.679 --> 00:13:31.200 to have like a rapture, rapture people, rapture the whole church up into 152 00:13:31.200 --> 00:13:35.960 heaven, or how's that going to work. Well, there's different theories and 153 00:13:35.080 --> 00:13:39.879 beliefs about how it's going to take place, what it's going to be like. 154 00:13:41.399 --> 00:13:46.000 Scripture says a couple of things. When it comes to those that pass, 155 00:13:46.679 --> 00:13:50.440 it's appointed for man to die once and then the judgment. It also 156 00:13:50.480 --> 00:13:52.480 says to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord, 157 00:13:54.200 --> 00:13:58.720 and so these things have immediacy to them. But as far as the process 158 00:13:58.759 --> 00:14:03.399 that will come in the end times, there are multiple theories. And the 159 00:14:03.440 --> 00:14:09.360 reason why there's multiple theories is that it's not clear exactly and that it focuses 160 00:14:09.399 --> 00:14:15.720 on the fact that no man shall know the day nor the hour, so 161 00:14:15.919 --> 00:14:20.919 you'll know the season. But everybody thinks it's everybody thinks that their generation is 162 00:14:20.919 --> 00:14:28.519 the one that has it the worst, and therefore the second Coming should take 163 00:14:28.519 --> 00:14:33.879 place. But the reality is it won't be like anything. It'll be beyond 164 00:14:35.000 --> 00:14:39.759 your expectations, and things will be circling the bowl in a way that you've 165 00:14:39.799 --> 00:14:43.120 never seen before. Aren't they starting to circle the bowl and out? Because 166 00:14:43.120 --> 00:14:50.159 you've got people robbing shops and stories of merchandise like I heard that Nordstrums had 167 00:14:50.159 --> 00:14:54.480 a robbery yesterday and they got away with thousands of dollars worth of items and 168 00:14:54.480 --> 00:15:01.759 an another store did too. Sure, these for those listening across the country, 169 00:15:03.720 --> 00:15:07.480 these are stores in the Los Angeles area that we're dealing with that now 170 00:15:07.519 --> 00:15:11.919 others have throughout the country as well. However, you don't think there have 171 00:15:13.039 --> 00:15:20.080 been times throughout history that there was rape and theft and murder and mayhem. 172 00:15:20.200 --> 00:15:24.159 Oh, sure there have. Sure it's only again worse, I think, 173 00:15:24.240 --> 00:15:28.840 don't you. Well, No, there's been times where everybody assumes that what 174 00:15:28.960 --> 00:15:33.080 their experience is the worst, and in other parts of the world it may 175 00:15:33.120 --> 00:15:37.320 be better, or in other parts of the United States when it comes to 176 00:15:37.360 --> 00:15:43.799 you, Richard might be doing better. So people always assume that whatever is 177 00:15:43.799 --> 00:15:48.000 happening. You know, everybody's the star of their own movie, Richard, 178 00:15:48.480 --> 00:15:52.759 So you know, so you're going to see whatever is happening around you, 179 00:15:52.240 --> 00:15:58.519 and also you're going to consume it differently because social media and the news cycle 180 00:15:58.559 --> 00:16:03.480 as much tighter than ever before. And it doesn't mean that things aren't going 181 00:16:03.559 --> 00:16:10.840 to heck in a handbasket. However, there is good stuff too, you 182 00:16:10.879 --> 00:16:14.919 know, to to focus on only those things, Richard, Yes, I 183 00:16:15.000 --> 00:16:18.679 agree it looks dire, but again, nothing surprises God. It's not like 184 00:16:18.759 --> 00:16:26.399 God is is saying, wow, did not see that coming? Who that? 185 00:16:26.159 --> 00:16:32.120 Wow? I've seen some things, but that is some things. This 186 00:16:32.320 --> 00:16:37.200 is a season. This is a season of of people, and you can 187 00:16:37.440 --> 00:16:45.919 you can blame the politicians, and sometimes you should. You can blame politicians, 188 00:16:47.960 --> 00:16:53.960 but really, without laws, without any laws, good people should still 189 00:16:55.120 --> 00:17:06.279 do good things. Right, So politicians can say you can steal everything, 190 00:17:07.079 --> 00:17:14.640 we're just not going to prosecute, and good people still don't steal. They're 191 00:17:14.799 --> 00:17:22.880 not going out there and stealing. This is a problem of people telling themselves 192 00:17:22.880 --> 00:17:30.480 it's okay to steal, people feeling entitled. At at the base, the 193 00:17:30.640 --> 00:17:41.519 root of every single sin is entitled men people entitled to something they're not entitled 194 00:17:41.559 --> 00:17:52.119 to. That's where it comes from. And I think politicians and people like 195 00:17:52.240 --> 00:17:56.920 to put it on things, Well it's this thing, or it's this weapon, 196 00:17:56.240 --> 00:18:00.400 or it's this opportunity or it's that. No, it's bad, it's 197 00:18:00.519 --> 00:18:11.359 people wanting to do bad things. At the heart of every problem, the 198 00:18:11.359 --> 00:18:19.480 heart of every crime, the heart of every war is not religion, as 199 00:18:19.519 --> 00:18:27.039 people will tell you. You can go back through the entirety of history. 200 00:18:27.079 --> 00:18:33.000 It is not religion. There is only one constant in all crime, all 201 00:18:33.119 --> 00:18:40.839 war, all hate, and that is humanity. Humans doing what they want 202 00:18:41.839 --> 00:18:48.720 instead of what they should be doing. Humans being selfish, greedy. These 203 00:18:48.920 --> 00:18:57.519 things are at the heart of all of it. And until that's understood that 204 00:18:59.119 --> 00:19:04.200 people won't get it. Yes, political decisions matter, they create problems. 205 00:19:04.519 --> 00:19:15.559 Not having a secure justice system meaning the cops are accountable, meaning the justice 206 00:19:15.559 --> 00:19:26.519 system itself, the DA's everybody being accountable, individuals being accountable. All those 207 00:19:26.519 --> 00:19:33.599 things do matter. But at the heart of it, it's people doing bad 208 00:19:34.240 --> 00:19:41.039 instead of good. So does it get worse at times? Yeah. Throughout 209 00:19:41.079 --> 00:19:45.000 history there's been ebb and flows, and a lot of that ties into faith. 210 00:19:49.119 --> 00:19:57.039 In the United States, faith is more placed on politics, it's placed 211 00:19:57.160 --> 00:20:10.200 on city, faith is placed on ideology. It's just not placed in God. 212 00:20:12.079 --> 00:20:18.079 And when that happens, absolutely you're going to have issues. Absolutely you're 213 00:20:18.119 --> 00:20:23.440 going to have chaos. Absolutely you're going to have anarchy. But it starts 214 00:20:23.480 --> 00:20:30.880 with the person, not the laws. That's why people break laws. They 215 00:20:30.920 --> 00:20:37.680 don't care. And making people care about each other, making people care about 216 00:20:37.720 --> 00:20:44.279 doing the right thing, that's more important than any law, any rule, 217 00:20:44.960 --> 00:20:52.440 any alarm system. And people are separating themselves more than ever, and with 218 00:20:52.599 --> 00:21:02.359 that comes more problems. Dave, Welcome to the Jesus Christ Show. Jesus, 219 00:21:02.359 --> 00:21:04.799 thanks for taking my call. I've prayed for the answer to this question 220 00:21:04.880 --> 00:21:10.200 for a long time. I'm a forty seven year old, married, gay 221 00:21:10.440 --> 00:21:15.960 alcoholic. You saved me four years ago through the Halls of Alcoholics Anonymous, 222 00:21:17.519 --> 00:21:22.079 and through through doing the steps, I've grown my relationship with you to a 223 00:21:22.119 --> 00:21:26.720 point I never thought was possible to where I see blessings falling out of the 224 00:21:26.759 --> 00:21:30.599 sky every day for what you do for me. My question for you is, 225 00:21:32.200 --> 00:21:36.400 as a practicing homosexual, how does that affect my relationship with you? 226 00:21:36.519 --> 00:21:42.440 Jesus. Oh. First of all, what a story, Dave, and 227 00:21:42.640 --> 00:21:49.359 God bless you for taking the steps to get rid of the demon that is 228 00:21:49.440 --> 00:21:56.839 alcoholism and being in trapped by that and taking those steps. That is a 229 00:21:56.839 --> 00:22:03.799 wonderful story to hear that you pulled yourself through that With God. Do you 230 00:22:03.880 --> 00:22:11.799 believe that Jesus Christ is the Messiah. Absolutely. Do you believe that Christ 231 00:22:11.839 --> 00:22:18.519 died on that cross for all sins of all people? Yes? Do you 232 00:22:18.599 --> 00:22:23.599 believe that the blood on that cross is more powerful than any sin? Yes. 233 00:22:26.440 --> 00:22:36.279 The Bible talks about the unpardonable sin, and the unpardonable sin is rejecting 234 00:22:36.400 --> 00:22:45.279 God. That can't be undone. If you reject God, don't ask for 235 00:22:45.279 --> 00:22:52.279 forgiveness, don't connect with God. That's it. There's nothing you can do. 236 00:22:52.359 --> 00:22:59.119 If you are driving a car towards a cliff and there's people lining the 237 00:22:59.200 --> 00:23:04.400 road telling you there's a cliff, and you ignore it and fly off that 238 00:23:04.519 --> 00:23:11.200 cliff, then the decisions made you've rejected. You have not rejected. Now 239 00:23:11.200 --> 00:23:18.200 the secondary question becomes, well, if homosexuality is a sin and you are 240 00:23:18.400 --> 00:23:23.240 living in that sin and doing that sin, then it's a state of rebellion. 241 00:23:25.640 --> 00:23:30.279 Then you have to ask the other question, Well, what about everybody 242 00:23:30.279 --> 00:23:37.279 else? Their sin does not stop yet. Scripture says that you under the 243 00:23:37.319 --> 00:23:47.480 blood on the cross are or white as snow, the purity coming from God, 244 00:23:48.160 --> 00:23:53.079 not from Dave. Because Dave can't do it, you'll never earn yourself 245 00:23:53.799 --> 00:24:03.319 into heaven. And yeah, well, there's a lot of people try and 246 00:24:03.640 --> 00:24:11.440 it's interesting how everybody gives God the credit and Christ you died on the cross, 247 00:24:11.640 --> 00:24:18.519 and then they ignore it. There is nothing in scripture in its context 248 00:24:22.240 --> 00:24:29.000 that says that God doesn't love you and that you will not be in heaven 249 00:24:29.079 --> 00:24:40.319 with God because the unpardonable sin is not homosexuality. So the frustration and confusion 250 00:24:40.440 --> 00:24:48.039 comes from stuff that's been taught over and over again. You have confusion in 251 00:24:48.079 --> 00:24:51.400 there. If you look at some verses, its talks about a man laying 252 00:24:51.400 --> 00:24:57.039 with a man, okay, So being a lesbian's okay. So there's a 253 00:24:57.079 --> 00:25:03.440 lot of confusion and understand ending as to what's taking place. Is it prostitution, 254 00:25:03.559 --> 00:25:11.119 male prostitution? Is it aggression? The use of the lack of passion 255 00:25:11.240 --> 00:25:15.839 becoming a lust? Is it? There's a lot more to scripture, and 256 00:25:15.880 --> 00:25:22.599 there's a lot of things in the category of idolatry and all these things that 257 00:25:22.640 --> 00:25:29.359 are done on a daily basis that people push aside, whether it's being a 258 00:25:29.400 --> 00:25:37.519 gossip or being a glutton or anything that they push aside and they put the 259 00:25:37.559 --> 00:25:48.279 weight on you. Dave and others in the community that have different orientations and 260 00:25:48.440 --> 00:25:59.640 complexities or pieces on the spectrum of who people are and they want, and 261 00:25:59.720 --> 00:26:07.400 it's scares them and they try and shuffle that into scripture and it's unfortunate. 262 00:26:08.200 --> 00:26:11.599 But not all churches are like that. And it's not about being liberal or 263 00:26:11.640 --> 00:26:17.640 conservative. It's about being faithful to scripture and to the love of God. 264 00:26:18.920 --> 00:26:26.559 So do you reject God, Dave, No, sir, are you committing 265 00:26:26.720 --> 00:26:37.160 the unpardonable sin? No, You're not rejecting God. Then then go in 266 00:26:37.240 --> 00:26:45.279 peace and continue to connect with your God, praying and acting for guidance. 267 00:26:47.880 --> 00:26:49.400 Kf I am six on demand
