You're listening to k I am sixty
on demand. Catherine, Welcome to Jesus

2
00:00:06.480 --> 00:00:11.560
Christ Show. How Jesus? Hi? I have a question, I say,

3
00:00:11.599 --> 00:00:14.839
Now I have two and I'm wondering
if I could switch. Well,

4
00:00:15.119 --> 00:00:19.440
we're very very very short on time, so why don't you trade the first

5
00:00:19.440 --> 00:00:24.039
one first? But I'm glad that
the show is making you think. I'm

6
00:00:24.039 --> 00:00:26.679
glad that the show is making you
think. That's a good thing. It

7
00:00:26.839 --> 00:00:32.719
is. The first one was if
is God, if Jesus, If Jesus

8
00:00:32.799 --> 00:00:38.200
is the Son of God and God
Jesus office is to be God in flesh.

9
00:00:38.200 --> 00:00:41.280
How is that? How's that possible? Well? One is the title

10
00:00:41.320 --> 00:00:45.280
that is used not only prophetically saying
you know that the Son of God will

11
00:00:45.320 --> 00:00:51.960
come, but throughout throughout scripture you'll
see that term used for me specifically as

12
00:00:52.039 --> 00:00:56.759
the unique Son of God, not
just sons of God or daughters of God,

13
00:00:56.840 --> 00:01:00.200
which is every believer, but specifically
talking about the Son of God.

14
00:01:00.280 --> 00:01:03.519
Matthew twenty six sixty three. Yes, it is, as you say,

15
00:01:03.560 --> 00:01:10.280
I reply, as talking to the
high priests that are asking me, they're

16
00:01:10.359 --> 00:01:15.120
charging me under oath by the Living
God, say, are you the Christ,

17
00:01:15.159 --> 00:01:19.000
the Son of God, and I
say, yes, it is as

18
00:01:19.040 --> 00:01:22.519
you say. But I say to
all of you, in the future you

19
00:01:22.519 --> 00:01:25.159
will see the Son of Man sitting
at the right hand of the Mighty One

20
00:01:25.159 --> 00:01:29.120
and coming into the clouds. Son
of Man, son of God, interchangeable

21
00:01:29.120 --> 00:01:34.799
in this context. But it's talking
about me having the nature of God and

22
00:01:34.879 --> 00:01:38.120
being God. And that's why if
you read are On in Matthew twenty six

23
00:01:38.200 --> 00:01:44.920
sixty five through sixty six, also
John nineteen seven, that you will see

24
00:01:44.959 --> 00:01:49.760
that the law that it talks about
there that I've broken as the law of

25
00:01:49.799 --> 00:01:53.120
blasphemy because I'm claiming to be God
by using that term being the son of

26
00:01:53.159 --> 00:01:59.159
God. It's not the same type
of son and daughter that you'd think about

27
00:01:59.239 --> 00:02:01.719
in the human ends. It's not
that, oh, well, you know,

28
00:02:02.599 --> 00:02:08.000
God met Mary and Mary and God
had a relationship and had a child.

29
00:02:08.120 --> 00:02:15.919
That's not what it's about. It's
about the unique nature of God is

30
00:02:15.039 --> 00:02:21.520
in me his son, and we
are one and the same. That gets

31
00:02:21.520 --> 00:02:23.840
into the trinity. I realize,
which complicates matters some more. But for

32
00:02:23.879 --> 00:02:29.680
the sake of time, to understand
that that term being used is a term

33
00:02:29.719 --> 00:02:32.439
claiming that I am God, not
just the son of God, but that

34
00:02:32.520 --> 00:02:40.800
I am one exactly with his nature. Stephen. Welcome to the Jesus Christ

35
00:02:40.840 --> 00:02:45.080
Show. Good morning Jesus, Hi, Stephen, what's going on? I

36
00:02:45.439 --> 00:02:53.680
have a theologic question. My wife
suffers from multiple class and a farn of

37
00:02:53.680 --> 00:02:58.479
mine who is a very debout Christian
as I you know, am as well.

38
00:02:58.639 --> 00:03:01.599
He told me perhaps it's, you
know, something generational, and I

39
00:03:01.639 --> 00:03:07.599
didn't quite understand what he meant,
and his wife elaborated a little more on

40
00:03:07.680 --> 00:03:12.919
it, and she she mentioned how
she was sick one time, very sick.

41
00:03:14.360 --> 00:03:17.240
A couple of her elders prayed over
her and realized that through their prayer

42
00:03:17.319 --> 00:03:24.520
they said that they're her ancestors.
Shimmed and that's because she's the reason why

43
00:03:24.520 --> 00:03:30.240
she's sick. And I don't believe
that, because I believe, you know,

44
00:03:30.479 --> 00:03:34.000
this is what God ordained me for
us to have. But you know,

45
00:03:34.039 --> 00:03:37.000
there is some scripture that goes along
with it, I suppose, but

46
00:03:37.080 --> 00:03:38.800
I wanted to get your take on
it so you can help me clarify this.

47
00:03:39.400 --> 00:03:44.759
No, this seems to be something
that is reoccurring, Stephen. That

48
00:03:44.879 --> 00:03:49.120
is that that people often look for
outside reasons. I mean, this is

49
00:03:49.159 --> 00:03:53.719
nothing new. In John chapter nine, verse one, and you probably remember

50
00:03:53.759 --> 00:03:54.599
the story, and I'll read it
to you. It says, and as

51
00:03:54.639 --> 00:04:00.919
he passed by, he saw a
man blind from birth, and his disciples

52
00:04:00.960 --> 00:04:03.879
asked him, saying, Rabbi,
who sinned this man or his parents that

53
00:04:03.960 --> 00:04:10.319
he should be born blind? Jesus
answered, it was neither that this man's

54
00:04:10.319 --> 00:04:13.759
sin nor his parents, but it
was in order that the works of God

55
00:04:13.879 --> 00:04:21.439
might be displayed in him. So
there's a lot of infirmity in scripture that

56
00:04:23.240 --> 00:04:26.279
Paul, for instance, with a
thorn in the flesh that doesn't get taken

57
00:04:26.279 --> 00:04:30.480
away, that isn't pointing to a
particular sin. Now you could you could

58
00:04:30.600 --> 00:04:38.199
argue that all sickness comes from sin, because that's not the way humans were

59
00:04:38.240 --> 00:04:44.079
designed. But and yes, it's
generational in the sense that it's passed down.

60
00:04:44.199 --> 00:04:49.079
That's sickness. Genetic illnesses things like
that come from the pollution of the

61
00:04:49.240 --> 00:04:55.399
human body and cause things that weren't
supposed to be there before. That's why

62
00:04:55.399 --> 00:05:00.959
they're mutations. But so in the
big sense, yeah, all things come

63
00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:03.720
from sin in that sense. But
to say that it's some sort of family

64
00:05:03.800 --> 00:05:11.680
curse or something generational that's passed down
through sin, no it's it's not fair

65
00:05:11.720 --> 00:05:16.439
to say that that's an excuse not
to participate and your well being not to

66
00:05:16.480 --> 00:05:20.639
figure out, you know, how
to get healthier, or if there is

67
00:05:20.680 --> 00:05:27.000
a lifelong illness or heaven forbid,
a life threatening illness, that you can

68
00:05:27.079 --> 00:05:32.120
understand the weight of it in its
context rather than overly spiritualizing it. That

69
00:05:32.240 --> 00:05:41.120
doesn't mean that there aren't oppressions,
spiritual oppressions and demonic oppressions, not possessions,

70
00:05:41.120 --> 00:05:45.879
but oppressions that weigh people down or
things like that that can be prayed

71
00:05:45.920 --> 00:05:51.920
over and removed. But really that
that's a separate issue from day to day

72
00:05:51.959 --> 00:05:58.959
illnesses that people get, and sometimes
people overly spiritualize them and they think that

73
00:05:59.000 --> 00:06:01.199
they're doing that to glorify God.
A lot of times people do that to

74
00:06:01.399 --> 00:06:04.120
glorify themselves, to be a part
of it and saying no, we don't

75
00:06:04.160 --> 00:06:09.120
have to bow to this, and
I can get you through this, and

76
00:06:09.279 --> 00:06:15.160
that ends up twisting down a whole
different other path. But really, you've

77
00:06:15.360 --> 00:06:17.560
got to trust God and see God's
glory in the good and the bad.

78
00:06:18.079 --> 00:06:24.800
I don't know why people assume that
only the good things glorify God. Even

79
00:06:24.839 --> 00:06:29.040
illness points to the glory of God. Obviously I said so, and John

80
00:06:29.160 --> 00:06:31.680
that I just read to you.
There's that context of saying, no,

81
00:06:31.879 --> 00:06:35.480
God is glorified in these things too. There's other scriptures that say that you

82
00:06:35.519 --> 00:06:42.399
should rejoice in your trials and tribulations
because God is seen in those. So

83
00:06:43.839 --> 00:06:47.759
it's one of those things that I
think sometimes Christians can get overly spiritualized on.

84
00:06:49.519 --> 00:06:54.120
It's not that sin doesn't pass along
through the butt bloodline. It's not

85
00:06:54.240 --> 00:06:59.240
that sin isn't something that becomes generational
and has passed down because it is.

86
00:06:59.360 --> 00:07:02.160
I mean, there's just the way
things you teach your children and all of

87
00:07:02.199 --> 00:07:05.879
these things. But in the sense
of thinking of it more like a curse

88
00:07:06.600 --> 00:07:10.959
is to belittle the power of the
Blood of Christ in the first place,

89
00:07:11.800 --> 00:07:15.399
and to say that, you know, everyone's going to go through these things.

90
00:07:15.399 --> 00:07:18.720
It's all under the blood. And
it's never about the flesh or being

91
00:07:18.800 --> 00:07:25.839
healthy in that sense, because I
say specifically, I fear not he who

92
00:07:25.879 --> 00:07:30.480
can kill the flesh, but he
who can kill the spirit. So it's

93
00:07:30.600 --> 00:07:33.879
always about the spiritual health of the
individual. And I'm so sorry to hear

94
00:07:35.439 --> 00:07:40.160
about the illness to begin with.
But God can be seen and can be

95
00:07:40.199 --> 00:07:44.560
glorified in all those things, and
that should ye should never lose sight of

96
00:07:44.560 --> 00:07:48.680
that and know that God is present
even in the sickness, and that it's

97
00:07:48.720 --> 00:07:54.160
not always about curing everything, because
not everyone gets cured. You're listening to

98
00:07:54.319 --> 00:07:59.920
k I AM six on demand.
NOI welcome to the Jesus Christ Show.

99
00:08:00.319 --> 00:08:07.439
Hello Jesus Hi. I'm thirty five
years old and I was raised Roman Catholic,

100
00:08:07.639 --> 00:08:13.839
my baptism, communion, confirmation,
my mom actually my mom actually taught

101
00:08:15.360 --> 00:08:24.480
Catechism for seventeen years. But I
also consider myself homosexual. But I seem

102
00:08:24.519 --> 00:08:28.519
to have lost my way with the
Roman Catholic Church, and I was just

103
00:08:28.560 --> 00:08:31.279
seeing if there was any possible way, I guess, to get back into

104
00:08:31.279 --> 00:08:37.960
the Roman Catholic Church even you know, based on I guess just what I

105
00:08:39.000 --> 00:08:43.600
just told you. Well, this
program, we do our part not to

106
00:08:43.639 --> 00:08:48.039
speak for any particular church, but
but to you know, no, no,

107
00:08:48.039 --> 00:08:52.000
no, don't be but to focus
on the broader truth in scripture.

108
00:08:52.120 --> 00:08:56.799
And I will tell you this.
I want you back in the church now.

109
00:08:56.840 --> 00:09:01.480
If you choose that to be the
Catholic Church or Protestant Church, that's

110
00:09:01.000 --> 00:09:05.000
up to you. But do I
want to have a relationship with you.

111
00:09:05.120 --> 00:09:11.399
Absolutely, and unfortunately, the church, in many different forms, both Protestant

112
00:09:11.480 --> 00:09:20.759
and Catholicism, has been heinous to
the gay community, and the way that

113
00:09:20.440 --> 00:09:24.080
they have reached out and or not
reached out, or wait, they have

114
00:09:24.200 --> 00:09:31.159
treated the gay community is abhorrent to
God. And in that sense, it's

115
00:09:31.120 --> 00:09:37.600
it's absolutely important that you go and
you listen, but you keep this in

116
00:09:37.679 --> 00:09:41.240
mind. I get these attitudes from
people all over the place, and not

117
00:09:41.279 --> 00:09:45.320
just the gay community, but every
community you can think of that wants to

118
00:09:45.360 --> 00:09:50.039
go into the church with their arms
crossed saying, God, I want you

119
00:09:50.080 --> 00:09:52.600
to be the way I want you
to be. And that's not fair either.

120
00:09:54.360 --> 00:09:58.039
So as much as you are absolutely
welcomed and I want you to be

121
00:09:58.080 --> 00:10:01.600
in the church, go in with
that openness and that desire to hear what

122
00:10:01.679 --> 00:10:07.399
God has to say for you and
to learn from that and to grow with

123
00:10:07.440 --> 00:10:09.799
that, and not go in there
with a particular set or an agenda as

124
00:10:09.840 --> 00:10:13.879
to what you want out of God, but what God wants out of you.

125
00:10:15.679 --> 00:10:22.039
But I think that's the biggest part
of being in a church is sometimes

126
00:10:22.039 --> 00:10:26.960
you go in with that expectation of
Okay, God, what are you going

127
00:10:26.000 --> 00:10:30.120
to do for me, and I
don't want it to be that kind of

128
00:10:30.120 --> 00:10:35.120
relationship. It's it should be what
do you have to teach me? What

129
00:10:35.200 --> 00:10:43.360
can I learn? And those things
become incredibly important. And if you go

130
00:10:43.399 --> 00:10:48.919
in there with an attitude or kind
of this is you know, this is

131
00:10:48.960 --> 00:10:52.159
what I want from you God,
I think that that all is lost at

132
00:10:52.200 --> 00:10:56.919
that point. I've had people call
me on the program with questions and say,

133
00:10:56.399 --> 00:11:01.039
what does the Bible say about this? And you could just hear in

134
00:11:01.080 --> 00:11:05.320
the tone of their voice that they're
not going to listen to it. So

135
00:11:05.639 --> 00:11:09.120
the natural question is, well,
if if it says that you shouldn't do

136
00:11:09.200 --> 00:11:13.120
something, or it says that you
should do something, would you adhere to

137
00:11:13.159 --> 00:11:18.720
it? And if you say no, then don't bother with it on any

138
00:11:18.399 --> 00:11:22.480
part of your life. But if
you want to go and receive God,

139
00:11:22.519 --> 00:11:28.440
if you want to go and strengthen
your relationship with God. Absolutely, But

140
00:11:28.559 --> 00:11:31.639
on the note of homosexuality, on
the note of the way that the church

141
00:11:31.679 --> 00:11:41.879
treat has treated the gay community,
there are some asinine statements that are made

142
00:11:41.240 --> 00:11:48.919
on behalf of me and in my
name that are absolutely absolutely from the pit

143
00:11:48.960 --> 00:11:58.120
of hell. And the way that
the gay community has been treated and ostracized

144
00:11:58.279 --> 00:12:03.200
and treated differently and set apart and
not welcomed. Not in all churches.

145
00:12:03.240 --> 00:12:07.679
I know that there's wonderful churches.
And it's not about being a super duper

146
00:12:07.759 --> 00:12:11.720
liberal church where you know, anything
goes and there's no theology structure. Not

147
00:12:11.759 --> 00:12:18.840
about that. It's about the peace
and love that comes from scripture that is

148
00:12:18.919 --> 00:12:24.000
real and that is honest, and
that is receiving of people from from all

149
00:12:24.080 --> 00:12:33.679
kinds of walks in all kinds of
situations. And it's always disappointing when I

150
00:12:33.759 --> 00:12:39.360
get emails of how somebody was treated
in the church for any reason, and

151
00:12:39.559 --> 00:12:48.759
that sheds poor light upon the love
of God and the purpose of the death

152
00:12:48.799 --> 00:12:54.480
and la Cross and the resurrection and
what all that speaks. You're listening to

153
00:12:54.679 --> 00:13:01.240
kfimix on demand, Leonard. Welcome
to the Jesus Christ Show. Now let

154
00:13:01.240 --> 00:13:05.320
me get out of the wind here. Sorry about that, no problem.

155
00:13:05.399 --> 00:13:09.639
I had a question. U.
I make eighty percent of them income from

156
00:13:09.639 --> 00:13:15.200
playing poker, my goodness, Uh
huh and uh. I just wanting to

157
00:13:15.240 --> 00:13:20.519
know of came in contact with a
lot of good man in Christian people and

158
00:13:20.559 --> 00:13:24.600
they say it's evil and going to
hell and oh wow. Actually I usually

159
00:13:24.600 --> 00:13:28.080
bring up you know, it's I
mean, y'all play monopoly because that's the

160
00:13:28.120 --> 00:13:31.559
game of chance too, and they
kind of well that's different, you know.

161
00:13:31.679 --> 00:13:35.080
I mean you want to you want
to hear a mind blowing fact.

162
00:13:35.960 --> 00:13:41.600
The apostles cast lots to determine the
replacement for Judas in scripture. So there's

163
00:13:41.639 --> 00:13:48.000
there's the lottery is used in Uh. They cast lots in leviticiss to choose

164
00:13:48.039 --> 00:13:52.279
between a sacrificial goat and escapegoat.
Joshua cast lots to determine, uh,

165
00:13:52.320 --> 00:13:56.320
you know, the size of land
for various tribes. It does show its

166
00:13:56.360 --> 00:14:01.399
face in scripture, and there's nothing
that says implicitly in scripture that it's wrong.

167
00:14:03.159 --> 00:14:07.559
Now, I will tell you,
Leonard, that there are some things

168
00:14:07.559 --> 00:14:11.360
that would make it wrong. Now
you said you're a poker player, right,

169
00:14:11.399 --> 00:14:13.039
I mean, if if I see
somebody that's you know, I mean

170
00:14:13.159 --> 00:14:18.279
honestly having problems, I try to
go to a different table. You know,

171
00:14:18.519 --> 00:14:20.399
I'm trying not to take advantage,
you know, But poker is a

172
00:14:20.440 --> 00:14:24.759
skill. It's not as much a
game of chance as if you were sitting

173
00:14:24.759 --> 00:14:28.639
there playing the slots machine. Slot
machine Okay, so there's a couple of

174
00:14:28.679 --> 00:14:33.879
differences. Poker is going to be
one of the few times where where you

175
00:14:33.879 --> 00:14:37.080
can see that as a job.
It's a game of skill. It takes

176
00:14:37.120 --> 00:14:43.840
practice and insight and ability. So
in that case it would be very,

177
00:14:43.559 --> 00:14:48.960
very different from other types of gambling
if you're just trying to make a buck.

178
00:14:48.679 --> 00:14:52.600
If you're actually making a living at
it, that shows that you're pretty

179
00:14:52.639 --> 00:14:56.840
good. If you're doing it in
an honest way, then that's fine as

180
00:14:56.879 --> 00:15:03.200
well. That the concern comes in
places like Proverbs thirteen eleven says dishonest money

181
00:15:03.279 --> 00:15:07.440
dwindles way, but he who gathers
money little by little makes it grow.

182
00:15:07.440 --> 00:15:13.279
Getting in that kind of get rich
quick mentality is absolutely wrong. But if

183
00:15:13.360 --> 00:15:18.639
you are are going and you're you're
an honest poker player. That's not to

184
00:15:18.679 --> 00:15:22.120
say that, you know, the
part of the playing is bluffing and the

185
00:15:22.200 --> 00:15:26.639
like, but that's understood by all
the other players. So yeah, it's

186
00:15:26.679 --> 00:15:31.440
not considered lying or fabricating it in
a different sense because everybody goes into it

187
00:15:31.559 --> 00:15:35.720
knowing that's part of the game.
So but if you're honest in what you

188
00:15:35.840 --> 00:15:39.000
do, you're not cheating and you're
not doing it just to stay out of

189
00:15:39.039 --> 00:15:43.840
work. You're doing it because this
is your job, then you're fine.

190
00:15:45.519 --> 00:15:50.799
It's only when it becomes something that
controls your life, or an addiction,

191
00:15:50.720 --> 00:15:56.679
or you're doing it to just try
and skirt the system to you know,

192
00:15:56.759 --> 00:16:00.720
make a you know, quick buck
or things like that. That's when gambling

193
00:16:00.720 --> 00:16:03.240
would become a problem. And that's
when I would say that you need to

194
00:16:03.320 --> 00:16:11.600
run from it. Robert, Welcome
to the Jesus Christ Show. Hello,

195
00:16:11.679 --> 00:16:14.919
how are you? I am?
Well? How can I help you?

196
00:16:15.000 --> 00:16:19.639
Robert? Um? I had a
question, um, how does a marry

197
00:16:19.639 --> 00:16:25.080
couple get past adultery? And is
there any scripture that can actually help us

198
00:16:25.120 --> 00:16:29.000
in moving forward in our lives?
Well, of course there's scripture, but

199
00:16:29.039 --> 00:16:33.879
first I'd like to get a little
bit more understanding. Or you're going through

200
00:16:33.879 --> 00:16:38.840
this yourself right now? Yes,
sir? And what happened. I committed

201
00:16:38.840 --> 00:16:45.840
adultery myself and it would eat me
alive and I ended up telling my wife

202
00:16:45.840 --> 00:16:49.759
about it, and now we're in
a situation that we're trying to get over.

203
00:16:51.440 --> 00:16:56.600
Okay, Aaron, was it a
long period of time? Was it

204
00:16:56.639 --> 00:17:00.360
a one time thing? Was it
was? It was more so a one

205
00:17:00.399 --> 00:17:03.519
time thing. More so. So
you're saying it happened more than once.

206
00:17:03.879 --> 00:17:07.519
No, it happened once. Okay, Yeah, that would be exactly a

207
00:17:07.559 --> 00:17:10.480
one time thing. So it happened
exactly on time. Okay. So it

208
00:17:10.519 --> 00:17:12.319
happened one time, and you you
brought up to your wife and you told

209
00:17:12.319 --> 00:17:19.440
her um about your discretion, your
indiscretion rather and she she's responding and being

210
00:17:19.519 --> 00:17:25.680
hurt, right, very hurt,
very hurting, O, very non trusting,

211
00:17:26.240 --> 00:17:27.359
sad. I mean she cried all
the time. You know, it's

212
00:17:29.000 --> 00:17:33.880
it's rough. Is was this someone
she knew as well? No, okay,

213
00:17:33.960 --> 00:17:37.519
with somebody at work or um it
was it was somebody It was something

214
00:17:37.559 --> 00:17:42.319
like that. Yeah, okay,
Um, you weren't. Did you feel

215
00:17:42.319 --> 00:17:48.759
that you put yourself in in this
situation knowingly and you just kind of went

216
00:17:48.799 --> 00:17:52.039
with you went with a rolled with
it all and just said, okay,

217
00:17:52.519 --> 00:17:56.559
I'm just gonna give in. Yeah
I did. I did. I gave

218
00:17:56.640 --> 00:18:00.160
into the temptation that that surrounds us
every day. Well, there's forgiveness all

219
00:18:00.200 --> 00:18:06.960
throughout scripture. It's a running theme
obviously, but there's two things that go

220
00:18:07.039 --> 00:18:11.839
with forgiveness. There's open forgiveness,
and that's that's for your wife, that's

221
00:18:11.839 --> 00:18:14.640
she's to forgive, to release it
so that she doesn't have it. But

222
00:18:14.640 --> 00:18:22.000
that's not necessarily for you. Reconciliation
is something different. Reconciliation comes with work

223
00:18:22.839 --> 00:18:29.759
and intent and focus and all these
things. It's it's like God loves and

224
00:18:29.839 --> 00:18:36.160
forgives everyone, but only reconciles truly
with those that receive him and repent turn

225
00:18:36.240 --> 00:18:40.319
away. So one you can't do
it anymore. You can't do anything obviously

226
00:18:40.400 --> 00:18:45.039
that even remotely appears to look like
that. And you have to find out

227
00:18:45.079 --> 00:18:49.759
why this was so important to you, find out what about it was worth

228
00:18:51.279 --> 00:18:56.400
the possible loss of your wife and
your family, and why that one time.

229
00:18:56.599 --> 00:19:00.480
You know what part of you yearns
for that kind of attention that would

230
00:19:00.519 --> 00:19:07.200
make you do something counter to who
you are. I mean, you're not

231
00:19:07.240 --> 00:19:11.599
a bad guy, are you?
And you and you you don't want this

232
00:19:11.240 --> 00:19:15.319
in your life, yet you welcomed
it. You brought it in your life,

233
00:19:15.839 --> 00:19:18.279
right and you see what damage it? I mean you couldn't even live

234
00:19:18.319 --> 00:19:22.119
with it. Yeah, you told
on yourself. It's not like you even

235
00:19:22.119 --> 00:19:26.400
got caught, right, um,
exactly. The worst thing you can do

236
00:19:26.519 --> 00:19:30.440
is try and make things go back
to normal. Quickly. Um it makes

237
00:19:30.559 --> 00:19:33.240
it will appear to your wife that
you're just trying to cover it up and

238
00:19:33.279 --> 00:19:37.880
that it doesn't matter and that you
don't care about her feelings. You need

239
00:19:37.880 --> 00:19:41.759
to get to a third party.
You need to have somebody, a pastor

240
00:19:41.799 --> 00:19:47.519
somebody that you guys can talk in
front of and work through this um and

241
00:19:47.519 --> 00:19:51.440
and get through it to a place
where, um, you can start building

242
00:19:51.480 --> 00:19:53.680
that trust. But it's going to
take a lot of work, and there's

243
00:19:53.680 --> 00:19:56.880
going to be a lot of cants. There's a lot of things that you

244
00:19:56.920 --> 00:20:00.039
can't do anymore, and you shut
that we're off. There's going to be

245
00:20:00.079 --> 00:20:04.000
things that you think are normal or
or casual to go out and see friends

246
00:20:04.079 --> 00:20:07.400
or do whatever, that you aren't
going to get to do anymore. And

247
00:20:07.440 --> 00:20:11.519
you you better realize that and note
that that's part of what you sacrificed.

248
00:20:11.400 --> 00:20:15.119
You sacrifice something on your wife's end, her trust and her love and all

249
00:20:15.160 --> 00:20:22.000
that she gave you, and now
you're sacrificing much of your freedom to reinstill

250
00:20:22.119 --> 00:20:30.519
faith in your family and who in
the character of who you are. There's

251
00:20:32.079 --> 00:20:34.559
there's much of scripture or just up, he gets a clock. When I

252
00:20:34.559 --> 00:20:37.319
come back, I'll give you some
scripture that you can read, but there's

253
00:20:37.400 --> 00:20:42.599
much a scripture that talks about forgiveness. You're listening to kf I am sixty

254
00:20:42.880 --> 00:20:52.680
on demand. I was talking with
Robert about his infidelity and you could hear

255
00:20:52.759 --> 00:21:02.519
how obviously he's not happy with himself
and his situation. People will make mistakes,

256
00:21:03.000 --> 00:21:10.200
and there are there's a great distance, a vast difference between those who

257
00:21:10.359 --> 00:21:17.799
are repeat offenders, who it's a
it's a lifestyle. They go out and

258
00:21:18.160 --> 00:21:22.519
they commit adultery over and over again, versus somebody who puts themselves in a

259
00:21:22.640 --> 00:21:29.279
very stupid situation and makes a mistake. So I want to give you a

260
00:21:29.279 --> 00:21:32.039
few things. He asked for scripture
about forgiveness and things like that, and

261
00:21:32.079 --> 00:21:34.039
I want to give that. But
I also want to give you a guideline.

262
00:21:34.680 --> 00:21:41.359
If you want to protect yourself,
well, the best way to protect

263
00:21:41.359 --> 00:21:45.680
yourself is to build boundaries between that
which you want to protect and the outside

264
00:21:45.759 --> 00:21:52.039
world. Right, if you want
to protect that part of your life,

265
00:21:53.519 --> 00:22:00.160
then both men and you two women
have to understand that there are boundaries that

266
00:22:00.240 --> 00:22:04.599
you have to push beyond, even
outside of the normal boundaries, to keep

267
00:22:04.680 --> 00:22:10.359
you from falling into that circumstance.
The old saying that you get too close

268
00:22:10.400 --> 00:22:12.440
to the creek, you slip in. It's just a way creeks are built.

269
00:22:14.400 --> 00:22:18.599
The slides are the sides are slippery, and you get distracted by the

270
00:22:18.599 --> 00:22:23.799
beauty of the whole thing and you're
in the drink. Likewise, when it

271
00:22:23.799 --> 00:22:29.920
comes to your emotions and your sexuality
and your intimacy levels, you have to

272
00:22:29.960 --> 00:22:33.960
keep yourself from being intimate. And
that has nothing to do with clothes being

273
00:22:33.000 --> 00:22:38.720
off. You can't connect with people. Today's program has been about communing and

274
00:22:38.960 --> 00:22:44.200
connecting with people, and you can't
do that with someone of the opposite sex

275
00:22:44.240 --> 00:22:48.359
in the same way at the same
time. You can't You don't do that

276
00:22:48.440 --> 00:22:51.400
anymore. Doesn't mean that you aren't
human, and it doesn't mean that you

277
00:22:51.400 --> 00:22:55.079
don't connect on other levels. But
you can't have those moments of intimacies.

278
00:22:55.119 --> 00:23:00.880
You don't share secrets with the opposite
sex that you keep from your spouse,

279
00:23:00.960 --> 00:23:04.319
things like that, because then you
build a bond with somebody else that can

280
00:23:04.359 --> 00:23:08.480
grow into that intimacy level that can
become a problem. And as the old

281
00:23:08.519 --> 00:23:18.799
saying goes, if you're if you're
not supposed to go into Idaho don't go

282
00:23:18.839 --> 00:23:23.039
into the United States, and then
you're guaranteed never to step foot in Idaho.

283
00:23:25.359 --> 00:23:33.519
The point being that if is set
your boundaries so wide that you're not

284
00:23:33.559 --> 00:23:37.079
going to worry about the possibility of
slipping in, and that's just don't put

285
00:23:37.079 --> 00:23:41.759
yourself in those positions. As far
as scriptures go, Robert, I want

286
00:23:41.799 --> 00:23:45.799
you to know that first John one
nine is very clear if we confess our

287
00:23:45.839 --> 00:23:48.640
sins, he is faithful and just
and will forgive us our sins and purify

288
00:23:48.759 --> 00:23:52.720
us from all in righteousness. That's
a process, and it's where the process

289
00:23:52.759 --> 00:23:59.160
you're in right now, and one
that you need to allow to happen to

290
00:23:59.279 --> 00:24:04.599
you and your your wife will be
doing the same healing from that. And

291
00:24:06.000 --> 00:24:10.920
finally, Matthew twenty one through twenty
three is what I want you to read

292
00:24:11.079 --> 00:24:18.920
about forgiving, forgiving yourself as well. Ernest, Welcome to Jesus Christ Show.

293
00:24:21.400 --> 00:24:26.000
Good morning, Hello sir. How
can I help you? Yes,

294
00:24:26.039 --> 00:24:33.279
Sir, Jesus, I wander north. Why we keep Sunday as the Sabbath.

295
00:24:34.480 --> 00:24:41.359
I've been reading the Bible as of
late and little articles in different magazines,

296
00:24:41.640 --> 00:24:45.759
and I can't find any work where
it says to change the Sabbath to

297
00:24:47.000 --> 00:24:51.759
Sunday, some being the first day
of the week. Yes, absolutely not

298
00:24:51.960 --> 00:24:56.119
that pity on that. Okay,
Sunday is not the Sabbath. Christians do

299
00:24:56.240 --> 00:25:00.359
not celebrate on the Sabbath. Christians
tend to sell clebrate on what they referred

300
00:25:00.359 --> 00:25:07.400
to as the Lord's Day, which
is to represent the resurrection, which took

301
00:25:07.400 --> 00:25:10.880
place on Sunday. Now you find
this in the Book of Acts as well.

302
00:25:10.960 --> 00:25:18.920
Acts twenty verse seven talks about them
gathering around to break bread on the

303
00:25:18.960 --> 00:25:25.480
first day of the week, and
this shows that there the celebration takes place

304
00:25:26.160 --> 00:25:33.160
on a different day, and there's
other Collausians two, verse sixteen and seventeen.

305
00:25:33.839 --> 00:25:38.119
But the Lord's Day, the term
Lord's Day only appears once in the

306
00:25:38.160 --> 00:25:45.160
New Testament, that's Revelation one,
verse ten. But don't confuse the concept

307
00:25:45.319 --> 00:25:51.440
or the Lord's Day with what is
the Sabbath, which is the seventh day

308
00:25:51.440 --> 00:25:52.960
of the week. That's Saturday.
It's the day of rest, and that

309
00:25:53.039 --> 00:26:00.440
doesn't change. Sunday being the first
day of the week, is the day

310
00:26:00.480 --> 00:26:02.960
that I rose from the dead,
and that's the day that is celebrated by

311
00:26:03.000 --> 00:26:08.480
most Christians. So New Testament Christians
did not believe Saturday should be observed by

312
00:26:08.519 --> 00:26:18.599
worship and rest necessarily Romans fourteen five
and six Galatians four, verse eight through

313
00:26:18.599 --> 00:26:26.720
eleven. But they had a lot
of modern Christians and the early Christians regarded

314
00:26:26.759 --> 00:26:30.759
the Sabbath as part of the ceremonial
law of Israel, and that not necessarily

315
00:26:30.799 --> 00:26:36.039
applicable to the Church as it stands
today. So keep in mind there there's

316
00:26:36.079 --> 00:26:41.200
not just ten commandments. There's over
four hundred commandments in scripture. So this

317
00:26:41.279 --> 00:26:47.880
is one of those that that many
Christians think that it's not about the day.

318
00:26:47.920 --> 00:26:51.640
If you remember, I was asked
about the Sabbath, and I said

319
00:26:52.160 --> 00:26:56.400
the Sabbath was made for man,
not man. For the Sabbath to show

320
00:26:56.400 --> 00:27:00.279
people that they had it kind of
backwards. It was about taking the time

321
00:27:00.279 --> 00:27:03.960
to rest, taking the time to
spend with God, focusing on God and

322
00:27:03.960 --> 00:27:07.759
the things of God, and that
should be done regardless. I don't care

323
00:27:07.839 --> 00:27:11.799
what day that's done on. But
it's imperative that you rest. It's imperative.

324
00:27:11.839 --> 00:27:15.119
Scripture says, be still and know
that I'm God. It's imperative that

325
00:27:15.160 --> 00:27:22.200
you have that downtime to sit before
God and to relax and receive those are

326
00:27:22.240 --> 00:27:27.559
the things that are important. It's
it's imperative that in a work, in

327
00:27:27.599 --> 00:27:32.680
a physical work sense, that you
have time of rest as well, that

328
00:27:32.799 --> 00:27:37.640
you stop from your labor, that
you literally put your tools down and take

329
00:27:37.720 --> 00:27:44.920
that time to relax. Otherwise you're
going to burn yourself out and you're not

330
00:27:44.960 --> 00:27:48.400
going to be of any value to
anyone, including God, because when you

331
00:27:48.400 --> 00:27:52.599
get really, really super tired,
you're susceptible to a lot of things physically,

332
00:27:52.640 --> 00:27:59.440
spiritually, emotionally, and you receive
differently, and so it's important to

333
00:27:59.440 --> 00:28:02.359
take that time. I'm going to
have that rest. But what happens is

334
00:28:02.359 --> 00:28:07.359
if you make it about the Sabbath, then that becomes about the law again

335
00:28:07.640 --> 00:28:11.759
and then the laws who preceedes God, And it's not about that. The

336
00:28:11.839 --> 00:28:15.079
law was to train you about the
things of God, to understand the purpose

337
00:28:15.119 --> 00:28:19.440
of structure and consistency and the things
of God, not about trying to be

338
00:28:19.519 --> 00:28:23.400
perfect or obtaining Godhood in any way, shape or form. So in this

339
00:28:23.440 --> 00:28:29.359
particular case, when it comes to
the Sabbath, the modern day Christians and

340
00:28:29.480 --> 00:28:34.920
even New Testament Christians felt that it
wasn't about the Sabbath anymore. It was

341
00:28:34.960 --> 00:28:38.160
about the purpose of the Sabbath,
that is to take time to rest and

342
00:28:38.160 --> 00:28:45.279
to worship God and also to celebrate
God. And that's done with most Christians

343
00:28:45.319 --> 00:28:49.440
on Sunday, the first day of
the week. K i AM six on demand
