WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.400 --> 00:00:05.480 I'm becoming worried about Dennis Praeger. I've never met him. I think I've 2 00:00:05.480 --> 00:00:11.080 spoken with them once. So I'll issue the same disclaimer I did when I 3 00:00:11.119 --> 00:00:15.320 spoke about Pastor John MacArthur. I haven't reached out to Dennis about this. 4 00:00:15.519 --> 00:00:19.079 That is probably doesn't know who I am, and he's not a Christian. 5 00:00:19.079 --> 00:00:24.199 Therefore I don't owe him. That's under Matthew eighteen. So I'll skip that 6 00:00:24.280 --> 00:00:28.640 part and I'll tell you he has such influence. He's done so much for 7 00:00:28.679 --> 00:00:34.039 the conservative movement. I think Preger you is genius. So much of it's 8 00:00:34.200 --> 00:00:39.640 so so well done. He had a conversation with Dave Rubin, and I 9 00:00:39.759 --> 00:00:43.799 watch part of this. Someone sent me a clip. It's my wife sent 10 00:00:43.880 --> 00:00:47.560 me this clip, and I said, okay, that's too short. I 11 00:00:47.560 --> 00:00:51.479 can't do anything of this. I watched the whole interview, and I don't 12 00:00:51.520 --> 00:00:56.520 normally do that. I still enough time, and it came away thinking this 13 00:00:56.600 --> 00:01:02.280 man doesn't know he's a secular humanist. Weird. We'll talk about that. 14 00:01:02.399 --> 00:01:06.200 And I got to tell you, I have never been more uncomfortable answering an 15 00:01:06.200 --> 00:01:11.640 email guy sent me. And I've had to pray about whether I answered or 16 00:01:11.680 --> 00:01:15.920 not, so I'm going to answer it and you have to see. If 17 00:01:15.920 --> 00:01:19.400 you're not in the video service, I don't even think I can adequately describe 18 00:01:19.519 --> 00:01:26.719 for you the so called woman who got to go on British TV to answer 19 00:01:26.879 --> 00:01:30.599 JK Rowling something you have to see. Maybe we'll put a screenshot of this 20 00:01:30.719 --> 00:01:34.400 man in the show notes.

Today is a day the Lord has made, and these are the 27 00:02:15.240 --> 00:02:21.199 times to which God is the saded we shall live. I think everybody who 28 00:02:21.240 --> 00:02:29.039 came to my speech yesterday, I guess I was gonna apologize for making you 29 00:02:29.120 --> 00:02:37.400 uncomfortable, but it wasn't my goal. It's just these days, speaking God's 30 00:02:37.439 --> 00:02:42.240 word in public makes some people uncomfortable, and I don't do that. I 31 00:02:42.280 --> 00:02:47.319 don't go to speeches to make people uncomfortable. And I felt bad a little 32 00:02:47.319 --> 00:02:53.439 bit, except we're to be watchmen on the tower, and those of us 33 00:02:53.479 --> 00:02:58.080 are Christians and have the Holy Spirit and drilled within us. It's our job 34 00:02:58.120 --> 00:03:01.319 to be watchmen on the tower. And sometimes people are uncomfortable with that message. 35 00:03:02.360 --> 00:03:06.159 I after the speech, talked to some people. I saw a man 36 00:03:06.199 --> 00:03:09.000 weeping in the audience. That's quite a response. Thank you for being that 37 00:03:09.120 --> 00:03:14.960 open with your feelings. Afterwards, I spoke with a young man who SAIDs 38 00:03:15.039 --> 00:03:22.199 and I'm almost directly quoting Wow, thank you. It has been so long 39 00:03:22.919 --> 00:03:30.120 since I've heard God's name spoken in public. That's a bad sign. It's 40 00:03:30.159 --> 00:03:34.599 a sign of a culture of course, that's turning fully away from God and 41 00:03:34.800 --> 00:03:38.599 denying his existence, not celebrating his name. And it makes people uncomfortable. 42 00:03:39.319 --> 00:03:45.680 They're not used to it. It's scary. So we need to do this 43 00:03:45.759 --> 00:03:49.560 with truth wrapped in grace. And I hope I did that yesterday. I 44 00:03:49.599 --> 00:03:53.000 really do. I know I got people thinking, well, God did. 45 00:03:54.319 --> 00:04:00.439 I did a piece on John MacArthur and something MacArthur SAIDs, And I've gotten 46 00:04:00.560 --> 00:04:05.080 a whole series of emails about this. I've gotten emails from guys like Ed 47 00:04:05.159 --> 00:04:10.719 and Boise, who made a strong point, Hey, you really think the 48 00:04:10.759 --> 00:04:15.719 solution to John MacArthur's challenges to go read Harry Potter. No, No, 49 00:04:15.840 --> 00:04:19.279 it was an ironic headline. My point is that JK. Rowling is in 50 00:04:19.319 --> 00:04:26.639 fact fighting gender ideology through a form of civil disobedience. John MacArthur said what 51 00:04:26.720 --> 00:04:29.800 he said, Pastor MacArthur, I didn't reach out to him, and I 52 00:04:29.839 --> 00:04:32.560 did admit that, and Ed makes a very very loving, lovely note to 53 00:04:32.600 --> 00:04:38.560 me. It's a really brotherly love note stating that, hey, you know 54 00:04:38.600 --> 00:04:42.000 what, it's not a good sign when you start your show by saying, 55 00:04:42.079 --> 00:04:45.560 or start your podcast making excuses of why you're not following the teaching in Matthew 56 00:04:45.560 --> 00:04:47.439 eighteen. I think you're busy, might not respond to see this, so 57 00:04:47.519 --> 00:04:50.480 never mind. I guess I'm done here. I personally don't think Matthew eighteen 58 00:04:50.680 --> 00:04:54.560 necessarily applies, but from what you've said a few different times, you seem 59 00:04:54.600 --> 00:04:57.839 to think so. If the Holy Spirit is speaking to you through your conscience, 60 00:04:57.839 --> 00:05:00.519 best not to ignore it. I say this from Afar trying to be 61 00:05:00.560 --> 00:05:04.240 a judge. Romans fourteen four but to offer some encouragement. He wanted me 62 00:05:04.319 --> 00:05:11.879 to read more about what Grace Church has said. Grace Community Church Pastor MacArthur's 63 00:05:11.959 --> 00:05:16.560 church. See John MacArthur said what he said. John MacArthur said Christians cannot 64 00:05:16.560 --> 00:05:20.519 be involved in civil disobedience or protests. That's what he said. It was 65 00:05:20.519 --> 00:05:26.879 on Moody Radio. He's wrong, He's wrong. Christians have to be involved. 66 00:05:27.360 --> 00:05:30.160 We have to protest. We have to say no, we have to 67 00:05:30.160 --> 00:05:33.639 be civilly disobedient in our jobs with government. Government says you will say a 68 00:05:33.639 --> 00:05:38.040 boy or girl. We have to say no, I will not. You 69 00:05:38.120 --> 00:05:42.439 have to endorse stealing, you have to endorse policies like squatter's rights. No, 70 00:05:42.519 --> 00:05:45.439 we do not, because it's coveting and stealing and that violates the word 71 00:05:45.439 --> 00:05:49.519 of God. Will not do that ever, that's being civilly disobedient. I'm 72 00:05:49.560 --> 00:05:55.040 aware that Pastor MacArthur didn't shut down his church, got that and appreciate it. 73 00:05:55.759 --> 00:05:57.800 I know he has some writings at about that. I know that he 74 00:05:57.879 --> 00:05:59.879 got a lot of focus. I know he paid a cost that was. 75 00:06:00.120 --> 00:06:04.680 I was so confused by what he said. I've had friends of MacArthur write 76 00:06:04.759 --> 00:06:09.759 me and I appreciate that, saying you and John simply disagree on what civil 77 00:06:09.759 --> 00:06:14.519 disobedience is. That's it. He didn't see that as civil disobedience. You 78 00:06:14.639 --> 00:06:18.199 do. So I do hope one time to have a conversation with Pastor MacArthur, 79 00:06:18.240 --> 00:06:23.720 because I would be enriched by John. MacArthur's forgotten more about the Bible 80 00:06:23.759 --> 00:06:28.120 than I'm likely to learn. And I said that earlier as well. This 81 00:06:28.160 --> 00:06:32.399 is prelude to talking about Dennis Prager, and fully honest, I think i've 82 00:06:32.480 --> 00:06:36.360 as thinking about it now. I met Dennis once with Michael Medvett. I 83 00:06:36.360 --> 00:06:40.079 got to shake his hand and speak briefly with him. He was very kind, 84 00:06:40.199 --> 00:06:43.120 he was very engaging, he was very encouraging. It was new and 85 00:06:43.160 --> 00:06:46.160 talk radio at the time, so I did get to do that, and 86 00:06:46.199 --> 00:06:49.680 I appreciated the opportunity. I don't know Dennis and he'll probably never remember me, 87 00:06:49.839 --> 00:06:54.040 so just by way of prelude, I don't do this with any sense 88 00:06:54.079 --> 00:06:57.079 of fun. It's not fun to go, I guess, not really tear 89 00:06:57.199 --> 00:07:01.439 down, but just be shocked. What Dennis Preger said in this conversation with 90 00:07:01.560 --> 00:07:06.439 Dave Rubin, it's not always fun to be shocked when someone you admire so 91 00:07:06.600 --> 00:07:11.040 departs from some things. But then again, Dennis Peger has said that pornography 92 00:07:11.120 --> 00:07:16.639 can be good for marriages. No, it can't. You bringing a third 93 00:07:16.680 --> 00:07:19.360 person, or fourth person, or fifth, sixth, seventh person, even 94 00:07:19.439 --> 00:07:24.439 virtual people into your marriage. No, it cannot be good, not in 95 00:07:24.480 --> 00:07:27.639 a sexual sense. Bringing people in your marriage in a sexual sense, can't 96 00:07:27.680 --> 00:07:32.480 be good. Watching adultery is adultery. Dennis has said that that's a Christian 97 00:07:32.519 --> 00:07:36.319 point of view. It is, and Jewish culture has also men really clearer 98 00:07:38.279 --> 00:07:45.439 about modesty and respect for boundaries, not just Jewish culture, but the Jewish 99 00:07:45.480 --> 00:07:48.759 Bible and Talmud and the writings. That is the part of that that's weird. 100 00:07:49.000 --> 00:07:54.680 It's really really strange to me, and I would be really bearing false 101 00:07:54.720 --> 00:07:57.120 witness as of where to say what my suspicion is. So all not, 102 00:07:57.439 --> 00:08:01.240 We'll just go to this video with room Bin and Prager are talking in just 103 00:08:01.279 --> 00:08:07.199 a second. Dave Ruben's a guy who has done in about face. You 104 00:08:07.240 --> 00:08:11.839 know, he used to be a leftist. Now I'm to believe he's on 105 00:08:11.879 --> 00:08:15.639 the right, and he probably is. It probably is to some degree. 106 00:08:16.600 --> 00:08:24.079 Dave Ruben sat down to talk with Dennis Praeger there's a full link to the 107 00:08:24.160 --> 00:08:28.319 full interview in the show notes. I encourage you to watch it all so 108 00:08:28.360 --> 00:08:33.639 you can make your inn judgment. This is part of their conversation which I 109 00:08:33.679 --> 00:08:37.879 will probably stop at points. Yes, I'm not even doing that good at 110 00:08:37.919 --> 00:08:39.360 it. I mean, wouldn't you rather be with someone a little more fabulous 111 00:08:39.360 --> 00:08:43.360 than this? If you're If you don't know, Dave Ruben is the same 112 00:08:43.399 --> 00:08:46.440 sex attracted man who is in what he describes as a marriage to another same 113 00:08:46.480 --> 00:08:50.399 sex attracted man. I'll sit across from a gay guy for an hour. 114 00:08:50.720 --> 00:08:52.480 No, No, you want to be you want to be normal? Yeah, 115 00:08:52.519 --> 00:08:54.360 whatever that is. I mean, I don't even like the word normal, 116 00:08:54.360 --> 00:09:00.600 but this is what normal is, not defined by your sexual orientation. 117 00:09:01.039 --> 00:09:05.399 That's what normal. I'm not saying heterosexual is more normal by the way I 118 00:09:05.480 --> 00:09:09.200 actually believe bisexual is the norm. Okay, so let's stop here. There's 119 00:09:09.279 --> 00:09:18.200 a lot of I believe from Dennis Pregor talking about things that are God's realm. 120 00:09:18.879 --> 00:09:24.120 There's a whole lot of I believe. As he goes through this portion 121 00:09:24.200 --> 00:09:28.600 of the conversation, he's going to get to a point where it becomes very 122 00:09:28.679 --> 00:09:37.360 very clear to me that Dennis is his own God, that Dennis's wisdom surpasses 123 00:09:37.440 --> 00:09:41.240 that of God. Remember this fear of the Lord is beginning of wisdom, 124 00:09:41.639 --> 00:09:48.480 the beginning of wisdom. So it's a very complex issue because in every society 125 00:09:48.559 --> 00:09:56.720 prior to the Bible almossexuality was accepted. So this is unknown, this is 126 00:09:56.799 --> 00:10:01.159 truly and I didn't come up with this pro gay professor did all the research 127 00:10:01.200 --> 00:10:05.879 for me, so I know all about this. I devoted, I devote. 128 00:10:05.919 --> 00:10:09.519 I wrote a seventeen thousand word essay on this thirty years twenty five years 129 00:10:09.519 --> 00:10:15.240 ago. This was a revelation to me. I thought the Bible was merely 130 00:10:15.919 --> 00:10:22.879 reinforcing the anti gay feelings that permeated surrounding society. So let's pause for a 131 00:10:22.919 --> 00:10:31.559 moment. So Dennis Praeger is shocked that same sex activity occurred and was practiced, 132 00:10:31.759 --> 00:10:39.200 and apparently, according to his same sex attracted researchers was accepted prior to 133 00:10:39.240 --> 00:10:46.320 the Bible. Why would that shock you? The whole point of the Bible, 134 00:10:48.600 --> 00:10:58.720 the entire narrative, once you get past Genesis, the entire narrative is 135 00:10:58.759 --> 00:11:05.960 God trying to get his people back in order. It's trying to reinstall the 136 00:11:07.080 --> 00:11:13.000 rules. It's a series of attempts of God reaching out saying, don't do 137 00:11:13.120 --> 00:11:20.399 that. Not just practicing same sex attraction, adultery or child sacrifice, thieving, 138 00:11:22.000 --> 00:11:28.080 violence, murder, coveting. This was God coming and saying, you 139 00:11:28.080 --> 00:11:35.559 guys, still don't get it. The flood was an attempt to reset. 140 00:11:35.759 --> 00:11:39.759 God knew what was going to happen. He knows all things. But it 141 00:11:39.879 --> 00:11:46.960 is remarkable to me that Dennis Peger could be surprised that non biblical activity occurred 142 00:11:46.960 --> 00:11:56.639 before the Bible was well written down. It's phenomenal to me, but it 143 00:11:56.759 --> 00:12:03.080 was unique. The Bible said, men, you are as happy with boys. 144 00:12:03.320 --> 00:12:07.399 I don't mean eight year olds, fifteen year old, just as a 145 00:12:07.399 --> 00:12:11.720 grown man is happy with a fifteen year old girl. That SAIDs homosexuals and 146 00:12:11.759 --> 00:12:24.519 heterosexuals are identical in that sense, we're identical. Dennis Praeger spoke about the 147 00:12:24.559 --> 00:12:30.879 Bible and said, even if it's in the Bible, it has to be 148 00:12:30.960 --> 00:12:50.720 logical to whom the Bible itself is logic, God himself is truth. That 149 00:12:50.879 --> 00:12:54.279 was the piece and I should have grabbed that piece. That really blew my 150 00:12:54.360 --> 00:12:58.080 mind. Even if it's in the Bible, it has to be logical. 151 00:13:00.399 --> 00:13:03.440 Well, let's flip that around. If it's in the Bible, it's logical. 152 00:13:09.519 --> 00:13:13.919 I don't know where Dennis comes from on these sexual issues anymore. This 153 00:13:13.960 --> 00:13:24.360 is why I'm concerned. How you get to a point where pornography's okay and 154 00:13:24.120 --> 00:13:33.639 your opinion about sexual activity is more logical than God's opinion. I can't get 155 00:13:33.639 --> 00:13:41.000 there. It's an uncomfortable topic. It's horribly uncomfortable. I've said it a 156 00:13:41.039 --> 00:13:45.240 thousand times. We all have friends and family members who are sex attracted, 157 00:13:45.279 --> 00:13:50.080 and ninety nine percent of us love them. So it's an uncomfortable topic. 158 00:13:50.120 --> 00:13:58.360 But logic, well, let's see. God said be fruitful and multiplied. 159 00:13:58.559 --> 00:14:03.600 Same sex activity cannot do that. God spoke about one man one woman in 160 00:14:03.639 --> 00:14:11.559 a marriage. That's the design. God spoke of fathers and mothers raising children. 161 00:14:11.120 --> 00:14:20.919 That's the design to be brutal and blunt. Same sex activity, particularly 162 00:14:20.960 --> 00:14:28.080 between men, injures people. If it's done over and over again badly. 163 00:14:30.759 --> 00:14:35.480 It can lead to diseases like ocular syphilis and others. Now, same or 164 00:14:35.879 --> 00:14:41.159 heterosexual sex can do the same thing, but in not the same way, 165 00:14:41.279 --> 00:14:45.639 not with ish injuring tissues of the body. Can you tell I don't like 166 00:14:45.679 --> 00:14:52.440 talking about this. So science in the reality of what happens with these activities, 167 00:14:52.559 --> 00:14:56.639 undertaking time and time and time again shows that the body was not designed 168 00:14:56.679 --> 00:15:09.279 for that is designed for heterosexual sex, and all the interactions show that that's 169 00:15:09.320 --> 00:15:15.799 logic. It's planning its design. When men reach a point, well though, 170 00:15:15.840 --> 00:15:18.919 say something like, even if it's in the Bible, that has to 171 00:15:18.960 --> 00:15:24.639 be logical. Does that count as well for the talumut? If it's in 172 00:15:24.720 --> 00:15:28.919 the Jewish scriptures, it has to be logical. If you believe the Jewish 173 00:15:28.919 --> 00:15:33.799 scriptures to be inspired by God, then they are logical because they're inspired by 174 00:15:33.840 --> 00:15:39.519 God, who cannot be illogical. Does it make any sense? I get 175 00:15:39.559 --> 00:15:45.720 concerned about this, not because I am going to go counsel Dennis Praeger Again, 176 00:15:45.759 --> 00:15:50.080 he doesn't care what I think. He shouldn't he should care what God 177 00:15:50.120 --> 00:15:56.120 thinks. But because of his reach and his influence, giving young people an 178 00:15:56.159 --> 00:16:04.279 excuse to watch and use porn is a very bad thing. Taking the word 179 00:16:04.320 --> 00:16:12.840 of God as lesser than your own intellect is probably a worse thing, because 180 00:16:12.879 --> 00:16:18.320 then all sin can be allowed, all sin can be encouraged, because after 181 00:16:18.360 --> 00:16:27.720 all, it's not logical. According to him makes me feeling easy when you 182 00:16:29.080 --> 00:16:34.639 start to go down this walk of well, but my logic says, are 183 00:16:34.639 --> 00:16:41.159 you really talking about your logic? Are you talking about your feelings? Feelings 184 00:16:41.200 --> 00:16:44.480 can get in the way of logic. Sometimes you want a thing so badly 185 00:16:45.799 --> 00:16:51.279 that you're willing to force yourself to think it's okay. You just want it 186 00:16:51.360 --> 00:16:57.039 so badly. You know we're nearing tax day. I so badly do not 187 00:16:57.080 --> 00:17:03.039 want to write the check I know is coming. The government's corrupt, well, 188 00:17:03.119 --> 00:17:07.559 Rome's government was corrupt. I so badly don't want to pay this government 189 00:17:08.000 --> 00:17:11.440 because I'm paying them to spy on me, to steal from me, to 190 00:17:11.519 --> 00:17:17.519 abuse me, to turn kids into angry doug addicted little or angry drug addicted 191 00:17:17.640 --> 00:17:22.839 racist little sexpots. I'm paying them to foster an invasion of our country, 192 00:17:22.880 --> 00:17:26.279 to destroy our electoral college. I'm paying them to engage in insider trading. 193 00:17:27.559 --> 00:17:36.880 I don't want to do that, and my feelings in that case don't matter. 194 00:17:37.519 --> 00:17:40.920 The logic is this, If I don't pay them, they take it. 195 00:17:41.480 --> 00:17:45.440 They take it from my family and more importantly to me, I run 196 00:17:45.480 --> 00:17:52.000 the risk of disappointing the Lord Jesus who said give them the Caesar that which 197 00:17:52.039 --> 00:17:56.559 is his, and to God that which is God's. The Roman government was 198 00:17:56.559 --> 00:18:00.440 corrupt as well. But I so want to cheat on my taxes. I 199 00:18:00.519 --> 00:18:07.000 won't, my account won't let me, and my faith won't let me. 200 00:18:07.200 --> 00:18:15.200 What is it that Dennis Preger wants, that is willing to invent things about 201 00:18:15.240 --> 00:18:19.480 sexual activity. I don't know. Maybe nothing. Maybe his intellect is just 202 00:18:19.519 --> 00:18:23.440 so vast that we who rely on the word of God, we just can't 203 00:18:23.440 --> 00:18:30.039 get it because we're relying on God's intellect. When Dennis Prager starts to insert 204 00:18:30.359 --> 00:18:37.599 his intellect above the word of God and begins to say things like it has 205 00:18:37.640 --> 00:18:41.960 to be logical, even if it's in the Bible, well then he's joined 206 00:18:41.119 --> 00:18:47.640 a club. Now it's weird because Dennis Prager is not, to my knowledge, 207 00:18:48.079 --> 00:18:51.200 out saying boys are girls, and girls are boys and men, or 208 00:18:51.240 --> 00:18:52.480 women and women are men. In fact, I think he stands against it. 209 00:18:52.519 --> 00:19:02.079 I know Dave Reuben does. But why, I mean before the Bible 210 00:19:03.799 --> 00:19:07.599 there were men who cross dressed. During the times of the Bible, there 211 00:19:07.599 --> 00:19:12.519 were men who cross dressed. That's why if you read I believe in Leviticus 212 00:19:12.599 --> 00:19:18.480 it says that men shall not dress as women nor women as men. That's 213 00:19:18.519 --> 00:19:25.079 addressed. So since that prohibition existed, God saw fit to say those things, 214 00:19:25.119 --> 00:19:29.440 one would reason that there were men who did that. And if you 215 00:19:29.440 --> 00:19:30.920 read anything about Roman culture, you know there were men who did that. 216 00:19:30.960 --> 00:19:33.519 If you read anything about Greek culture, you know there were men who did 217 00:19:33.559 --> 00:19:38.599 that. So when Dennis Prager inserts his logic and his mind above that of 218 00:19:38.599 --> 00:19:42.599 God, above God's word, then it's simply another person doing the same thing. 219 00:19:42.680 --> 00:19:47.279 This is why it's so dangerous for Dennis Prager to, with his influence 220 00:19:47.279 --> 00:19:52.480 in his reach, discount the word of God in favor of his own logic, 221 00:19:53.000 --> 00:19:57.119 because when you do that, you're inviting everyone else to discount God's word 222 00:19:57.200 --> 00:20:00.440 in favor of their logic, and all the su we're all our own gods. 223 00:20:03.559 --> 00:20:10.000 Here's an example of what Dennis Prager by extension by telling people, lose 224 00:20:10.039 --> 00:20:12.359 your logic. If it's not logical, don't believe it. If it's in 225 00:20:12.400 --> 00:20:17.519 the Bible, it's not exactly what he said. But by saying even if 226 00:20:17.559 --> 00:20:22.759 it's in the Bible, it has to be logical, this extends then to 227 00:20:23.000 --> 00:20:30.440 this man being able to go on GBTV and say he is a woman if 228 00:20:30.480 --> 00:20:37.119 you're not on the video service at video Dotododd Herman Show dot com. I 229 00:20:37.119 --> 00:20:41.960 I will do my best to describe this man. This man is wearing a 230 00:20:41.119 --> 00:20:48.359 wig that I think is designed to look like a coquettish eight year old girl. 231 00:20:48.720 --> 00:20:55.279 Blonde bangs obviously fake. This man's face is made up in the most 232 00:20:55.440 --> 00:21:03.279 bizarre high cheek bones etched down into a weird triangle. This man's eyelashes are 233 00:21:03.720 --> 00:21:10.039 I don't know, I'm guessing three inches long. This man's fake breasts I 234 00:21:10.079 --> 00:21:15.200 don't know breast sizes or cup sizes, but I'm gonna liken them to two 235 00:21:15.240 --> 00:21:22.720 footballs per side that large and in a what color is that that shirt thing? 236 00:21:22.799 --> 00:21:26.240 Now? Is that a pink or chartous or is it pink? Pink? 237 00:21:26.319 --> 00:21:32.680 Okay, so it's a pink And he's going on and speaking in a 238 00:21:32.880 --> 00:21:36.880 really bothersome way. You're gonna hear the voice. Of course, there's the 239 00:21:36.960 --> 00:21:40.880 chemical mutilation of the voice, but then you're gonna hear that it's very lispy. 240 00:21:40.920 --> 00:21:45.200 W I don't know why this man's lips are blown up to the size. 241 00:21:45.200 --> 00:21:48.319 And I'm not trying to be cruel, I'm trying to be descriptive. 242 00:21:49.839 --> 00:21:59.200 It says if someone stitched pink German sausages to his face and called them lips. 243 00:22:00.519 --> 00:22:03.480 This is this man's belief that he now is a woman, and gosh, 244 00:22:03.519 --> 00:22:12.039 what a beautiful woman. If you substitute your logic, your intelligence for 245 00:22:12.079 --> 00:22:18.799 the word of God, you have no room to argue with this man when 246 00:22:18.839 --> 00:22:22.039 he does the same thing. I don't believe that I am a woman. 247 00:22:22.680 --> 00:22:29.240 So this is a TV personality. Nana Nana, Nana speaks with TV personality 248 00:22:29.319 --> 00:22:36.319 Jessica Alves. Got it? So is Jessica Alves the man the responding to 249 00:22:36.400 --> 00:22:41.720 jk Rowling, who has been engaged in civil disobedience, saying to the Scottish 250 00:22:41.720 --> 00:22:45.759 police, come and arrest me. Women don't have penises, So that's why 251 00:22:45.799 --> 00:22:48.880 this person gets to be on TV. Even my birth certificate has been changed 252 00:22:49.400 --> 00:22:53.759 to Jessica Harb was born female. I was born in Brazil, so I 253 00:22:53.759 --> 00:22:57.680 do have a Brazilian passport, but also I have a British passport and of 254 00:22:57.759 --> 00:23:04.839 my both passports old, so stated jess Calvis. Female. So Jessica Alvis 255 00:23:04.960 --> 00:23:11.160 has documents that say he was born female. I want to cheat on my 256 00:23:11.240 --> 00:23:15.279 taxes. My flesh wants that. I won't do it because Jesus said not 257 00:23:15.359 --> 00:23:18.920 to. I won't do it because my account won't let me. I won't 258 00:23:18.960 --> 00:23:25.799 do it because they don't want to sin. People who squad in homes have 259 00:23:25.920 --> 00:23:30.799 documents say they own the home, but doesn't mean they own the home. 260 00:23:30.960 --> 00:23:37.640 My concern when someone with as much reach as Dennis Praeger says, well, 261 00:23:37.759 --> 00:23:41.759 I find some things in the Bible perhaps illogical. You find God illogical? 262 00:23:44.880 --> 00:23:48.240 Did you invite interactions like this? And I'm a woman in my mind, 263 00:23:48.519 --> 00:23:52.599 in my soul, in my appearance, in my body, in the touch 264 00:23:52.640 --> 00:24:03.319 of my skin. Case so in my appearance. No, that's we get 265 00:24:03.359 --> 00:24:07.640 to decide. If you appear to be a woman, you don't you appear 266 00:24:07.720 --> 00:24:11.200 to be. And again, I'm not trying to be rude. I don't 267 00:24:11.200 --> 00:24:18.559 want to hurt people. You appear to be an alien, not God forgive 268 00:24:18.599 --> 00:24:22.079 me even particularly human. When I wake up in the morning and I look 269 00:24:22.160 --> 00:24:26.160 myself in the mirror to brush my teeth, like everybody, I see the 270 00:24:26.279 --> 00:24:33.440 image of a woman. And I never felt like a man. Therefore I 271 00:24:33.480 --> 00:24:38.279 am a woman, the emotions, the feelings inside. So it's very sad 272 00:24:40.240 --> 00:24:45.759 to read the red lines, the headlines lately about taking rolling someone that I 273 00:24:45.759 --> 00:24:51.559 have read her books growing up, someone that I have always looked up to 274 00:24:52.400 --> 00:25:00.039 as a book writer, making remarks about transgender people that are so wrong, 275 00:25:00.720 --> 00:25:06.279 The remarks that she's making about so called transgender people because no one is actually 276 00:25:06.279 --> 00:25:08.640 transgender, because no one's ever been born in the wrong body. The remarks 277 00:25:08.640 --> 00:25:14.079 of things like these, if you're an adult, dress how you want, 278 00:25:14.279 --> 00:25:18.440 get the surgeries you want, take the hormones you want. You cannot become 279 00:25:18.480 --> 00:25:25.279 a man or a woman. And we do not have to participate in your 280 00:25:25.960 --> 00:25:30.480 psychoses. We do not have to participate in your self image. We do 281 00:25:30.559 --> 00:25:36.559 not have to agree with how you see yourselves. And this that biology is 282 00:25:36.640 --> 00:25:41.440 real. These are the cruel things that JK. Rowlings say. She doesn't 283 00:25:41.559 --> 00:25:47.400 understand anything about she's talking about. She is not a doctor. She's not 284 00:25:47.480 --> 00:25:55.200 a trained doctor. Okay, so nor are you. So JK. Rowling's 285 00:25:55.200 --> 00:26:00.759 not a trained doctor. Neither are you. You're not a sociologist. To 286 00:26:00.799 --> 00:26:07.319 my knowledge, she's a book writer, and I think she should stick to 287 00:26:07.400 --> 00:26:11.400 what she knows. That So she might argue that she's a woman though, 288 00:26:11.680 --> 00:26:15.839 so she knows that, And so I'm also a woman. I'm a transgender 289 00:26:15.880 --> 00:26:22.400 almost is a biological woman, but we're both are women and I throughout the 290 00:26:22.480 --> 00:26:25.920 years when I started my transition, in the beginning, it was quite hard 291 00:26:26.599 --> 00:26:33.359 because they still have the appearance of a fab androgynous person transitioning. Nowadays, 292 00:26:33.359 --> 00:26:38.880 my transition it's finished, and there are actually people who not everybody actually know 293 00:26:38.960 --> 00:26:44.799 who I am, and once comes up in conversations, actually I'm actually transgendered. 294 00:26:44.799 --> 00:26:49.000 The book a little bit flabber No, no, they're not. I 295 00:26:49.000 --> 00:26:56.440 don't believe that. I don't believe that anyone can look at this person and 296 00:26:56.519 --> 00:27:04.279 think anything about him is natural. Very sad. So tracing this back to 297 00:27:04.880 --> 00:27:11.440 Dennis Praeger, when you substitute your own knowledge and your own logic for that 298 00:27:11.519 --> 00:27:14.359 of God, you invite everyone else to do the same thing. Taking this 299 00:27:14.519 --> 00:27:21.640 up to John MacArthur, when we're told to call him a woman, and 300 00:27:21.880 --> 00:27:25.880 in Scotland we're to call him a woman, we have to say no. 301 00:27:26.680 --> 00:27:30.759 The Bible tells us when we're working at a job, to do it as 302 00:27:30.839 --> 00:27:37.039 if we're serving the Lord Jesus himself, to serve our quote master's bosses, 303 00:27:37.559 --> 00:27:41.559 as if we're serving the Lord Jesus himself. After all, they've been put 304 00:27:41.559 --> 00:27:45.839 in that position, and we've been put in ours. We've been made employees, 305 00:27:45.880 --> 00:27:48.519 they've been made bosses. Now, of course they're not to abuse that 306 00:27:48.839 --> 00:27:52.759 privilege that's standing. They're not to lord their power over us. And here's 307 00:27:52.759 --> 00:27:59.039 where that stops. When your boss comes along and says you're going to call 308 00:27:59.079 --> 00:28:03.680 men women. I was told that in radio working at a company owned by 309 00:28:04.359 --> 00:28:08.839 the Mormon Church, the Church of Jesus Christ Letter Day Saints. I said 310 00:28:08.920 --> 00:28:15.440 no. I stood up in an HR meeting and said to our corporate attorney, 311 00:28:15.519 --> 00:28:18.240 just so you know, I will never do that ever, and understand 312 00:28:18.240 --> 00:28:21.960 you could fire me for that. That's okay, it's your company, do 313 00:28:22.000 --> 00:28:27.599 what you want. That was civil disobedience at my job. So we have 314 00:28:27.680 --> 00:28:33.720 to civilly disobey. We have to go back on people like Dennis Preger and 315 00:28:33.759 --> 00:28:38.640 say, Dennis, you are acting like a secular humanist. In fact, 316 00:28:38.640 --> 00:28:47.400 you're acting like a secular pragorist, making Preger your God. When you respect 317 00:28:47.480 --> 00:28:52.480 God and he dwells within you, he will offer you protection from things that 318 00:28:52.559 --> 00:28:56.119 you may never get through without him. I talked to my friend Tim Krukshank 319 00:28:56.160 --> 00:29:00.519 about this. I asked him once about how faith affected him him on the 320 00:29:00.559 --> 00:29:04.039 battlefield. Tim is a twenty five year Navy veteran. He was a Navy 321 00:29:04.079 --> 00:29:07.000 seal, he was a BUDS instructor. He did three deployments on our behalf 322 00:29:07.000 --> 00:29:11.000 Free combat deployments, and I asked him about that. He said, Oh, 323 00:29:11.039 --> 00:29:15.039 I never would have gotten through combat without God. I never would have 324 00:29:15.079 --> 00:29:18.119 been able to do what I did without knowing God was with me. I 325 00:29:18.119 --> 00:29:21.119 couldn't have left my family if I didn't know that God was going to take 326 00:29:21.119 --> 00:29:23.920 care of him. If I fell well in combat, if I gave my 327 00:29:23.960 --> 00:29:27.599 life for my country, for my brothers and sisters, Todd, I never 328 00:29:27.599 --> 00:29:33.319 could have done it. When he started Bone Frog Coffee, the first name 329 00:29:33.359 --> 00:29:37.519 that went on the bag was not bone Frog. Bone Frog is the insignia 330 00:29:37.599 --> 00:29:40.960 of a fallen Navy seal. That's what that image means. Tim has slightly 331 00:29:41.000 --> 00:29:42.920 altered the image because he doesn't want to steal from the artist to creator. 332 00:29:44.200 --> 00:29:47.160 He wants to pay homage to it. The first word that went on the 333 00:29:47.160 --> 00:29:51.640 bag was God, and then country and then team. What's in the bag 334 00:29:51.720 --> 00:29:55.480 is what you care about. I would presume what's in the bag is coffee 335 00:29:55.480 --> 00:30:02.680 that is painstakingly artistically put together, sometimes for a year. The new roast 336 00:30:03.200 --> 00:30:10.200 Goatlocker is a dark front roast hint of flavor nuances. It's nuts how this 337 00:30:10.279 --> 00:30:15.119 coffee tastes, and Tim and his team spent a full year testing this to 338 00:30:15.160 --> 00:30:19.839 get it right. Goltlocker is an amazing tradition in the Navy. It's where 339 00:30:21.759 --> 00:30:26.079 the I see the officers can go. The enlisted officers can go, get 340 00:30:26.119 --> 00:30:32.240 away from the unenlisted. They don't have to respond when an Admiral Knox. 341 00:30:32.240 --> 00:30:36.680 If an Admiral Knox and asked to come in the quote, lesser officers can 342 00:30:36.720 --> 00:30:41.480 say not right now, that's cool. You can try this coffee by going 343 00:30:41.480 --> 00:30:44.640 to Bonefrog Coffee dot com slash todd.

This comes from 348 00:31:10.119 --> 00:31:14.640 Josh. Good morning, Todd. I pray this email finds you well. 349 00:31:15.119 --> 00:31:17.440 Let me start off by saying it's been a pleasure of mine that had been 350 00:31:17.519 --> 00:31:21.200 a day one listener when you started your podcast journey, and also a longtime 351 00:31:21.200 --> 00:31:23.640 listener of your radio show all the way back when you're on KTTCH and Seattle. 352 00:31:25.039 --> 00:31:27.359 I'm proud of your growth and accomplishments thus far and can say look up 353 00:31:27.400 --> 00:31:30.519 to you for wisdom and guidance in my everyday life. That brings me to 354 00:31:30.559 --> 00:31:34.279 the point of this email, Todd, I'm seeking your advice on a personal, 355 00:31:34.400 --> 00:31:37.640 yet somewhat sensitive subject. I'm writing this to you as a fellow brother 356 00:31:37.680 --> 00:31:41.640 and a man that struggles with wants and desires. I appreciate your utmost professionalism 357 00:31:41.759 --> 00:31:45.559 when conducting your radio program, so I'm going to give you the same level 358 00:31:45.599 --> 00:31:48.240 of respect and uphold the language standard here. You've admitted on the show about 359 00:31:48.359 --> 00:31:53.279 viewing pornography when you were younger. It's a serious problem for many men and 360 00:31:53.319 --> 00:31:56.880 the lute act that follows it. As a man, I find it very 361 00:31:56.880 --> 00:32:00.759 difficult to break the cycle. It makes you think can constantly justify a normal 362 00:32:00.759 --> 00:32:05.480 function of the body. My technical question is if one was to not view 363 00:32:05.519 --> 00:32:09.519 the subject material. However, still engage and again I apologize for the greatly 364 00:32:09.599 --> 00:32:13.359 for what I'm about to say. If I were to still and he used 365 00:32:13.359 --> 00:32:17.759 a euphemism for the word masturbate, are there any moral issues you see here? 366 00:32:19.319 --> 00:32:22.519 I love my wife very much, but as we advance in age, 367 00:32:22.920 --> 00:32:29.720 my wife seems to not be into me as into me as she once was. 368 00:32:30.079 --> 00:32:32.119 And also, with the normal hustle and bustle of life every day stresses 369 00:32:32.160 --> 00:32:36.160 a man needs an outlet. I know. Speaking brother to brother, I 370 00:32:36.200 --> 00:32:37.880 hope you can understand and appreciate the niqu struggle as men deal with on a 371 00:32:37.920 --> 00:32:40.279 daily basis. I look forward to hearing a response from you, even though 372 00:32:40.279 --> 00:32:45.200 you're a very busy man. Have a blessed day, Good sir? Okay? 373 00:32:46.359 --> 00:32:53.119 Uncomfortable yet, was it the Holy Spirit who convicted you to write this 374 00:32:53.200 --> 00:32:58.759 note? See, if you have the in dwelling of the Holy Spirit, 375 00:32:58.880 --> 00:33:04.720 you're experiencing a battle between your flesh and the Holy Spirit. It wasn't your 376 00:33:04.720 --> 00:33:08.160 flesh that chold you to write to me. Your flesh wants what it's getting. 377 00:33:10.119 --> 00:33:13.519 There was a Holy Spirit that chold you to write to me, and 378 00:33:13.559 --> 00:33:17.880 you're not writing to me. I don't matter in this equation. Here's the 379 00:33:17.960 --> 00:33:23.720 question. If the Holy Spirit has convicted you enough to write to me in 380 00:33:23.839 --> 00:33:28.480 hopes of an answer of me saying yes or no, you already have your 381 00:33:28.480 --> 00:33:32.680 answer. If the Holy Spirit's bothering you about this, then the Holy Spirit's 382 00:33:32.680 --> 00:33:38.359 guiding you now on the exact topic. Are there any moral issues? I 383 00:33:38.400 --> 00:33:45.200 don't care. This is the word of God. Say. If you continue 384 00:33:45.240 --> 00:33:46.960 to do this and you're going to tell me that the only thing you think 385 00:33:47.000 --> 00:33:53.240 about is well your wife, well then I don't think you'd be writing the 386 00:33:53.279 --> 00:34:00.319 note. I'm going to bet, since it seems that pornography is a recent 387 00:34:00.400 --> 00:34:05.640 problem for you, I'm going to bet that you probably have stored in your 388 00:34:05.640 --> 00:34:09.440 memory banks seen after seen, because that's what minds do. I'm going to 389 00:34:09.519 --> 00:34:14.000 bet that you probably remember some of those things. I'm going to bet then 390 00:34:14.039 --> 00:34:22.679 that you're celebrating and having an experience, let's put it that way, thinking 391 00:34:22.719 --> 00:34:29.280 back to those images, thinking back to watching adultery and prostitution. Now, 392 00:34:29.320 --> 00:34:32.000 speaking to one side of this, because I haven't heard from your wife, 393 00:34:32.119 --> 00:34:38.159 I'm going to ask you what would she say? What would she say? 394 00:34:38.280 --> 00:34:44.559 Would it be something along the lines of you don't date me anymore? Would 395 00:34:44.599 --> 00:34:49.800 it be something along the lines of you don't hold my hand anymore. I 396 00:34:49.840 --> 00:34:52.840 think a lot of us might have wives that'd say that a lot of us 397 00:34:52.880 --> 00:34:59.480 are very, very busy. Were to treat our wives as God Christ treated 398 00:34:59.519 --> 00:35:02.960 the church, sacrificial, willing to die for, and to love as a 399 00:35:04.039 --> 00:35:07.559 verb or a series of verbs. Sometimes at heart it's hard, it's difficult, 400 00:35:08.519 --> 00:35:13.039 as life can drag us down. So be uplifted by the Holy Spirit. 401 00:35:14.000 --> 00:35:16.239 The Spirit caused you to write this. You already have your answer, 402 00:35:19.079 --> 00:35:23.480 or you wouldn't have written. One other email from Michelle Dear Todd, I 403 00:35:23.559 --> 00:35:29.440 cried my way through your address to Billie Eilish. I gathered my two daughters 404 00:35:29.480 --> 00:35:31.480 fourteen and sixteen, and watch it again with them. If you didn't see 405 00:35:31.639 --> 00:35:37.199 or hear that episode. We took the song what was they made for? 406 00:35:37.880 --> 00:35:45.000 Billie Eilish is truly, truly heartbreakingly beautiful, just painfully beautiful song and tried 407 00:35:45.039 --> 00:35:47.360 to answer the question from a godly perspective of this is what you were made 408 00:35:47.360 --> 00:35:51.360 for by way of saying, here's what you weren't made for. I got 409 00:35:51.400 --> 00:35:52.719 a lot of response from this. This is one of my favorite letters. 410 00:35:53.000 --> 00:35:57.880 My fourteen year old loved that you took the time to appreciate the song, 411 00:35:58.159 --> 00:36:00.960 but she did get a little bored with the con My sixteen year old, 412 00:36:00.960 --> 00:36:05.320 on the other hand, cried like I had. She then gathered some of 413 00:36:05.320 --> 00:36:07.840 her female friends and they watched it. When they got done, every single 414 00:36:07.880 --> 00:36:10.840 one of them told me they wish they knew God loves women like that. 415 00:36:12.719 --> 00:36:15.119 They all think porn has ruined boys and men, and they think you should 416 00:36:15.119 --> 00:36:19.960 do a show that actually shows how bad it really is, as in really 417 00:36:20.199 --> 00:36:25.199 showing what girls have to see on a daily basis. Thank you Todd for 418 00:36:25.239 --> 00:36:30.000 putting God's word out there. Michelle from Patterson, New Jersey, Well, 419 00:36:30.079 --> 00:36:34.719 Michelle, I'm honored. I'm honored that you would share this with your daughters. 420 00:36:34.920 --> 00:36:37.000 I get that the fourteen year old was bored. Why wouldn't she be 421 00:36:37.079 --> 00:36:42.920 some old, gray old man talking about Billie Eilish. I'm deeply thankful that 422 00:36:42.960 --> 00:36:45.760 she appreciated me noticing the song. As for your sixteen year old, how 423 00:36:45.800 --> 00:36:51.199 brave of her should bring her friends together to watch a gray haired, gray 424 00:36:51.199 --> 00:36:57.559 bearded old man talking about Billie Eilish. What a blessing that it matters what 425 00:36:57.639 --> 00:37:01.639 a blessing that God spoke through that to them. And in regard to doing 426 00:37:01.639 --> 00:37:06.480 a show where we actually show how bad things are, I don't know that 427 00:37:06.599 --> 00:37:09.840 I could get away with that. I don't know that i'd want to get 428 00:37:09.880 --> 00:37:14.360 away with that. I don't know that people want to see it. But 429 00:37:14.440 --> 00:37:19.519 I would tell you this. There's research available. We can show it to 430 00:37:19.559 --> 00:37:27.800 you about how quickly porn companies start to show people violent porn all the way 431 00:37:27.880 --> 00:37:32.039 up to choking porn, all the way up to beating porn. It's about 432 00:37:32.079 --> 00:37:38.000 seven clicks away. Their goal is to so pervert the mind that there is 433 00:37:38.159 --> 00:37:44.239 no cap to what the mind will want to consume. Because it's money. 434 00:37:44.920 --> 00:37:49.159 We were fooled, I think as conservatives to always support big business. There's 435 00:37:49.239 --> 00:37:52.599 a ton of conservatives who get really angry with me when I talk about pornography. 436 00:37:52.039 --> 00:37:57.400 There's a ton of conservatives who say this victimless. We're losing things Todd 437 00:37:57.440 --> 00:38:00.840 When you talk about pornography and you talk about same sex activity, you're losing 438 00:38:00.960 --> 00:38:06.480 us elections. This is how the Democrats win. And my response to this 439 00:38:06.639 --> 00:38:12.639 is I don't care. Winning the country is far less important than winning souls. 440 00:38:12.679 --> 00:38:15.079 And by the way, if we win souls, will win the country. 441 00:38:15.960 --> 00:38:19.840 It's weird how that works. If we win souls, we'll elect godly 442 00:38:19.880 --> 00:38:22.679 people, and that way we'll have godly leadership, and in that way we'll 443 00:38:22.679 --> 00:38:27.199 have won the country. And that's a great consolation prize. We've been conned 444 00:38:27.199 --> 00:38:31.599 into always supporting big business when big business does not support us. When we 445 00:38:31.719 --> 00:38:35.840 choose to work with developmental companies, companies that are on their way up, 446 00:38:35.920 --> 00:38:38.159 like Alan Soaps, it's a labor of love. We do that because we 447 00:38:38.199 --> 00:38:43.320 want Alan to get the help that he needs to build this company. Alan 448 00:38:43.519 --> 00:38:46.599 is thirteen. He's been through about eighteen operations. He's the chief soap officer 449 00:38:46.679 --> 00:38:51.119 there. His dad, John does the functional work of running the company. 450 00:38:51.119 --> 00:38:54.119 He's a very experienced corporate executive, digital marketing guy who could make a lot 451 00:38:54.159 --> 00:38:59.519 more money doing something else, but John's made his money right now. His 452 00:38:59.639 --> 00:39:01.679 job is to provide a place for Alan to work, and he does. 453 00:39:01.920 --> 00:39:07.280 He literally does invent some of the fragrances. They then hand off those fragrances 454 00:39:07.280 --> 00:39:12.039 and those ideas to a company run by a family with three generations of soap 455 00:39:12.079 --> 00:39:15.519 making expertise all the way from Europe. They make the soap under very specific 456 00:39:15.559 --> 00:39:19.639 parameters. It must all be made in America, and it is. And 457 00:39:19.679 --> 00:39:22.519 it must be all natural and it is. And it must be insanely gentle 458 00:39:22.559 --> 00:39:28.360 on skin, because Alan's skin cannot stand anything that's not gentle. The mission 459 00:39:28.480 --> 00:39:34.199 of alansoaps dot com slash todd is pretty simple, brilliant soap with a much 460 00:39:34.440 --> 00:39:37.920 bigger mission, and that is to employ young people who the party would rather 461 00:39:37.960 --> 00:39:44.559 see aborted or killed. Same thing Alan soaps dot com slash todd is where 462 00:39:44.559 --> 00:39:49.119 you go to get ten percent off all their products, including not just soaps 463 00:39:49.159 --> 00:39:52.679 but soap racks and what those little things called that you wash your skin with 464 00:39:52.800 --> 00:39:55.760 a loofa? Is that a loofah? Yeah, loufa, Yeah, I 465 00:39:55.840 --> 00:40:00.400 know what loofahs are. That makes me a hipster. Alansoaps dot com slash 466 00:40:00.440 --> 00:40:02.599 todd to use promo cootade to get temper sent off and build loyalty points. 467 00:40:05.079 --> 00:40:08.519 I started the program by saying at the speech to these CEOs, I think 468 00:40:08.559 --> 00:40:14.440 I made a lot of people uncomfortable. Were you uncomfortable today? Not a 469 00:40:14.480 --> 00:40:23.039 completely comfortable show. It's uncomfortable for me to talk on these topics because I 470 00:40:23.039 --> 00:40:28.039 don't want to hurt people. My goal is not to hurt Dennis Preger. 471 00:40:28.079 --> 00:40:30.480 I don't think I'm capable of he Dennis Preger. I don't think I have 472 00:40:30.599 --> 00:40:36.119 enough influence to hurt Dennis Preger. But it's also to get straight down to 473 00:40:36.599 --> 00:40:40.159 what God says about all of this. In Matthew, Chapter five, verses 474 00:40:40.199 --> 00:40:45.920 twenty seven through thirty. It's very very clear you've heard it was said you 475 00:40:45.960 --> 00:40:49.760 should not commit adultery. But I tell you that anyone who looks at a 476 00:40:49.760 --> 00:40:53.480 woman lustfully has already committed adultery within his heart. If your right eye causes 477 00:40:53.519 --> 00:40:55.639 you to stumble, gouge it out, and throw it away, it is 478 00:40:55.679 --> 00:40:59.960 better for you to lose one body part for your body than your whole body 479 00:41:00.079 --> 00:41:02.840 to be thrown into hell. And if your right hand causes you to stumble, 480 00:41:02.840 --> 00:41:06.280 cut it off and throw it away, it's better for you to use 481 00:41:06.320 --> 00:41:07.840 one part of your lose one part of your body, than your whole body 482 00:41:07.840 --> 00:41:12.400 to go into hell. Now, incidentally, was Jesus really telling people to 483 00:41:12.440 --> 00:41:15.159 go around cutting off body parts. I think what the Lord Jesus was saying 484 00:41:15.199 --> 00:41:19.519 is, here's how grave the sin is. So don't let the flesh rule. 485 00:41:20.079 --> 00:41:22.039 Let the Spirit rule, the Holy Spirit rule within you. Now, 486 00:41:22.119 --> 00:41:24.960 of course, the Spirit wasn't there when Jesus was speaking. He gave that 487 00:41:25.000 --> 00:41:29.000 to us as a gift when he left. He'll be back by the way, 488 00:41:29.079 --> 00:41:32.719 Oh instantly he wins. Ephesians chapter five, Verses twenty five through twenty 489 00:41:32.719 --> 00:41:37.239 eight. Husbands, love your wives as Christ loved the Church and gave himself 490 00:41:37.320 --> 00:41:39.440 up for her, that he might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the 491 00:41:39.559 --> 00:41:44.679 washing of water with the word, so that he might present the Church to 492 00:41:44.800 --> 00:41:47.599 himself in splendor, without spot or wrinkle, or any such thing, that 493 00:41:47.679 --> 00:41:51.800 she might be holy and without blemish. In the same way, husbands should 494 00:41:51.800 --> 00:41:54.679 love their lives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. 495 00:41:55.480 --> 00:42:00.000 And in First Corinthians chapter seven, verses three through five, the husband 496 00:42:00.000 --> 00:42:04.400 should give to his wife her conjugal rights, and likewise the wife to her 497 00:42:04.480 --> 00:42:07.719 husband. For the wife does not have authority of her own body, but 498 00:42:07.760 --> 00:42:10.519 the husband does. Likewise, the husband does not have authority over his innbody, 499 00:42:10.519 --> 00:42:14.559 but his own body, but the wife does. Do not deprive one 500 00:42:14.559 --> 00:42:16.960 another, except perhaps by agreement for a limited time, that you may devote 501 00:42:16.960 --> 00:42:21.519 yourselves to prayer but then come together again so that Satan may not tempt you 502 00:42:21.559 --> 00:42:28.440 because of your lack of self control. So from the email from Josh, 503 00:42:28.679 --> 00:42:34.159 we can apply God's word right there. In terms of the Billie Eilish episode 504 00:42:34.159 --> 00:42:37.320 that so touched this woman and her kids and her kids or daughter's friends, 505 00:42:38.119 --> 00:42:49.800 we can apply God's word to Dennis Praeger. Same sex activity is adultery because 506 00:42:49.840 --> 00:42:55.280 according to the Bible and to the Jewish scriptures, marriage is between a man 507 00:42:55.320 --> 00:43:00.519 and a woman. You'd said, I believe Dennis that it has to be 508 00:43:00.559 --> 00:43:06.039 logical even if it's in the Bible. Well, good news. The Bible 509 00:43:06.119 --> 00:43:12.079 is logic because God cannot be illogical. I'm gonna pray for Dennis Praeger. 510 00:43:13.079 --> 00:43:22.119 I'm gonna pray that his influence on these topics is limited. And I really 511 00:43:22.400 --> 00:43:27.079 really hope that Dennis isn't struggling with something in turn, I truly, truly 512 00:43:27.119 --> 00:43:32.000 do. It's so very strange to see him take this turn. This is 513 00:43:32.000 --> 00:43:36.239 the Todd Herman Shaw. Please go be well, be strong, be kind, 514 00:43:36.719 --> 00:43:42.239 and please make every effort to tightly follow the word of God.
