I'd love to hear what's going on with you. Let's 17 00:01:21.359 --> 00:01:26.519 talk to Randy. Randy, Welcome to the Jesus Christ Show. Hey, 18 00:01:26.599 --> 00:01:32.079 good morning, Jesus. Hi Randy, thanks for this beautiful day in East 19 00:01:32.079 --> 00:01:38.480 Tennessee today. Oh amen, Amen, let's all wanted to ask you. 20 00:01:38.359 --> 00:01:44.879 I'm sorry dealing with anger sometimes I get angry, you know, just watching 21 00:01:44.920 --> 00:01:48.239 the news, I'll make make you angry. Smith's little stuff, no big 22 00:01:48.280 --> 00:01:52.599 deal or anything, but it brought me. I wanted to ask you when 23 00:01:52.760 --> 00:01:57.959 it looked like you got angry when you had to chase those money changers out 24 00:01:57.000 --> 00:02:00.799 of the temple at time. Sure, you had to, you know, 25 00:02:00.799 --> 00:02:05.799 pretty much run him out there. And I just, I guess my basic 26 00:02:05.879 --> 00:02:09.039 question is when is it okay to be angry? What's the line I know, 27 00:02:09.240 --> 00:02:13.560 righteous indignation. You know people have brought that up to me in the 28 00:02:13.599 --> 00:02:16.240 past, and I said, well, if Jesus got mad at those guys, 29 00:02:16.319 --> 00:02:23.199 I'm sure he had a good reason for it. Absolutely, And that's 30 00:02:23.240 --> 00:02:29.240 a great question because people wonder often Randy, as to what's the difference. 31 00:02:29.599 --> 00:02:37.639 Just first and foremost understand this that for every good thing, the enemy has 32 00:02:38.000 --> 00:02:46.680 a perversion of it. So anger, righteous anger is legitimate when it passes 33 00:02:46.800 --> 00:02:57.000 to rage, it becomes a sin. So even in Ephesians for twenty six 34 00:02:57.639 --> 00:03:02.599 it says, be angry and do not sin. Do not let the sun 35 00:03:02.800 --> 00:03:07.800 go down on your anger. You know, a lot of things that you 36 00:03:07.879 --> 00:03:14.479 hear in movies or scripts or songs come from scripture. They may modify them, 37 00:03:14.520 --> 00:03:20.000 but that's what people, that's the origins of don't go to bed angry, 38 00:03:21.520 --> 00:03:29.319 you know, always, don't leave things in that state. Don't let 39 00:03:29.319 --> 00:03:32.319 the sun go down on anger. So, really, when you're talking about 40 00:03:32.360 --> 00:03:38.639 what's going on. In Matthew twenty one, twelve and thirteen, it says, 41 00:03:38.639 --> 00:03:43.439 and Jesus entered the temple and drove out all who sold and bought in 42 00:03:43.479 --> 00:03:49.280 the temple, and he overturned the tables of money changers and the seats of 43 00:03:49.319 --> 00:03:58.599 those who sold pigeons. These were often used for different types of religious ceremonies. 44 00:03:58.639 --> 00:04:00.520 He said to them, it is written, my house shall be called 45 00:04:00.560 --> 00:04:06.080 a house of prayer, but you make it a den of robbers. These 46 00:04:08.280 --> 00:04:14.199 situations do show anger, but it is not. It is for the proper 47 00:04:14.199 --> 00:04:20.759 reason. The motivation was being angry for the right reasons. It wasn't from 48 00:04:20.759 --> 00:04:28.319 petty arguments. It wasn't from a personal you know, somebody offended or bothered 49 00:04:28.399 --> 00:04:33.720 him. There was nothing selfish about it. It was focused on the importance 50 00:04:33.800 --> 00:04:42.399 of the temple, not the importance of me. So that is very powerful 51 00:04:42.439 --> 00:04:49.480 to understand the focus and that it wasn't It was focused on the people's weaknesses, 52 00:04:49.839 --> 00:04:57.720 that they were allowing money to rule them rather than their faith. So 53 00:04:57.920 --> 00:05:02.639 you have to ask yourself when you get mad, Randy, why is it 54 00:05:03.160 --> 00:05:11.160 you say you hear the news. Is it because you think something's not being 55 00:05:11.199 --> 00:05:16.920 done properly, or think nobody cares about the country or your community. I 56 00:05:16.959 --> 00:05:20.480 think that it's kind of like what you said in that scripture, Jesus. 57 00:05:20.959 --> 00:05:26.199 I look at our government and the way that people in power are and even 58 00:05:26.240 --> 00:05:30.360 though maybe like our modern Pharisees, and I think to myself, you din 59 00:05:30.680 --> 00:05:33.879 of robbers, you din of thieves, and it really upsets me. I 60 00:05:33.920 --> 00:05:39.040 know, we're talking about a religious temple and the Lord's House and everything, 61 00:05:39.079 --> 00:05:42.480 but you know, I'm a real patriotic American, and when I see that 62 00:05:42.560 --> 00:05:45.319 it looks like our country isn't doing as good as it should be, it 63 00:05:45.319 --> 00:05:47.319 makes me think I wish Jesus would come in here with a big, heavy 64 00:05:47.399 --> 00:05:53.319 chord and maybe knock their tables over to you. Well, I understand that 65 00:05:53.360 --> 00:05:57.879 there is passion in those things, but they're also not the things of God. 66 00:05:58.120 --> 00:06:03.480 In God's view, all power comes from God, even misused power. 67 00:06:05.240 --> 00:06:11.040 There's no such thing as power that exists outside of God. And even in 68 00:06:11.079 --> 00:06:17.480 Scripture when it talks about appreciating the kings or the leaders, even if you 69 00:06:17.519 --> 00:06:21.759 don't agree with them, is part of the gig too, because all power 70 00:06:21.800 --> 00:06:29.399 comes from God. Now you, as an American, you are guided by 71 00:06:29.439 --> 00:06:32.680 the Constitution. As a Christian, you're guided by the Bible. But they're 72 00:06:32.720 --> 00:06:39.800 not the same thing. And there are freedoms, for instance, there are 73 00:06:39.839 --> 00:06:44.600 all kinds of freedoms in the United States that should be there based on the 74 00:06:44.639 --> 00:06:51.959 principle of the Constitution, but wouldn't be there based on Scripture. And I 75 00:06:53.040 --> 00:06:57.399 know it's easy for American Christians to look around and say this should go this 76 00:06:57.439 --> 00:07:01.199 way or this should go that way, But really, would you want it 77 00:07:01.279 --> 00:07:08.519 if it was a different faith? Right? Yes, absolutely? And I 78 00:07:08.600 --> 00:07:12.600 guess I don't know. I guess I just always thought, deep down, 79 00:07:13.120 --> 00:07:17.319 Jesus, you're an American. I know that's the problem is people have that 80 00:07:17.439 --> 00:07:26.120 thought and that's not the truth. Yes, sir, Yes, these knuckleheads 81 00:07:26.160 --> 00:07:31.560 that cut me off in traffic, I'll try. I thank you for your 82 00:07:31.560 --> 00:07:35.959 call, Randy. That is a legitimate concern, of course, people riling 83 00:07:36.079 --> 00:07:40.319 you up or getting you in that mode. But I want to remind you 84 00:07:41.720 --> 00:07:46.079 that you have control over these things, and you are a You are an 85 00:07:46.120 --> 00:07:54.920 ambassador for God. It's not always the way someone else acts. It's important 86 00:07:54.959 --> 00:07:58.800 for you to act in a way that shows the love of God. Especially 87 00:07:58.839 --> 00:08:03.360 you got bumper sticker or something like that that profess your faith. Then you 88 00:08:03.600 --> 00:08:13.839 drive the way you think you should drive, and you give the wave regardless, 89 00:08:13.120 --> 00:08:20.720 because oftentimes when people get upset on roads and get road rage, that's 90 00:08:20.800 --> 00:08:24.959 pride. You didn't see me, you don't care about me. You think 91 00:08:24.000 --> 00:08:28.759 I don't exist. Well, I'll show you I exist. It's about people 92 00:08:28.800 --> 00:08:37.799 wanting to be seen and that just comes from pride. And I know that 93 00:08:37.879 --> 00:08:43.080 it's hard to keep that in check. But you're called to be a person 94 00:08:43.120 --> 00:08:50.200 of faith wherever you are. God came to save the world, not the 95 00:08:50.320 --> 00:08:58.720 United States. And I think that there's a mass confusion that I am the 96 00:08:58.759 --> 00:09:05.039 God of the USA, and that's it, and that's not the truth. 97 00:09:05.200 --> 00:09:11.159 There's a lot of people that have it much much, much worse. They 98 00:09:11.159 --> 00:09:13.679 can't even express their faith in any way, shape or form. And what 99 00:09:13.720 --> 00:09:18.399 I call you to is to be an example so that people will ask you, 100 00:09:18.440 --> 00:09:20.960 how do you know what I saw? That guy cut you off. 101 00:09:22.000 --> 00:09:28.919 Yeah, I saw the look on your face and it was a look of 102 00:09:28.039 --> 00:09:33.759 peace. And I'm just curious about that. And you say, well, 103 00:09:33.799 --> 00:09:39.399 I'm working with God to get me through these things. And in that you 104 00:09:39.519 --> 00:09:43.960 show yourself, and in that you give an opportunity to witness to somebody about 105 00:09:45.279 --> 00:09:48.240 who you are and why and what God has done for me for you. 106 00:09:48.399 --> 00:09:54.000 But if you get angry, you start turning over to tables in the temple, 107 00:09:54.240 --> 00:09:56.559 and it's not a table and it's not in a temple, and it's 108 00:09:56.600 --> 00:10:01.919 just because somebody did something to you and you weren't hurt or anything like that. 109 00:10:03.960 --> 00:10:15.279 Then it's just pride. I'd like to talk to Steve now. Steve, 110 00:10:16.159 --> 00:10:22.679 welcome to the Jesus Christ Show. Thank you Jesus as the creator and 111 00:10:24.039 --> 00:10:30.159 source of all wisdom. I only have my historical perspective of my time and 112 00:10:30.240 --> 00:10:39.639 my life here. It seems to me that the explosion of of nehalism and 113 00:10:39.279 --> 00:10:45.279 narcissism. You know, that's that phrase that you know, they think of 114 00:10:45.320 --> 00:10:54.519 themselves as gods. You speak of the fear of God, and I believe 115 00:10:54.559 --> 00:11:01.960 it is the fear of God that are that are pushing the evil doers and 116 00:11:01.000 --> 00:11:07.759 the purveyors of evil. They don't fear God in the positive sense. They 117 00:11:07.919 --> 00:11:16.320 fear that there is a higher power than themselves and they're they're scared of that, 118 00:11:16.039 --> 00:11:22.919 and so they people act as if they are their own power. They 119 00:11:22.919 --> 00:11:31.080 are there the source of wisdom, their own wisdom. It leads them to 120 00:11:31.200 --> 00:11:35.919 not follow the you know, the laws of the land and the laws of 121 00:11:35.960 --> 00:11:43.279 the Lord, and it's just it's downhill from there, whether it be smashing 122 00:11:43.399 --> 00:11:50.600 grabs or the mob mentality, or the rejection of things that have made society 123 00:11:50.720 --> 00:11:56.840 work. And you have seen the foibles of man since Adam and Eve, 124 00:11:58.600 --> 00:12:01.480 and you know, it's just astounding to me that the Lord is able to 125 00:12:01.559 --> 00:12:07.480 keep a positive attitude when he sees his creation just descend into chaos. And 126 00:12:09.120 --> 00:12:13.919 there's been periods of history since then. You know. I had a very 127 00:12:13.919 --> 00:12:18.399 old friend at one time and he's past now, and I asked him, 128 00:12:18.480 --> 00:12:22.519 I said, you know, you've been around since before World War two and 129 00:12:22.600 --> 00:12:26.320 all the way up. And I said, do you feel that the the 130 00:12:28.279 --> 00:12:33.600 people of Earth, or the planet itself or society is more evil now than 131 00:12:33.679 --> 00:12:37.720 it was when you were growing up, when you were young. And he 132 00:12:37.840 --> 00:12:39.639 thought about it, and he said, you know, he says, I 133 00:12:39.679 --> 00:12:43.759 don't think so. But he says, what we didn't have then was we 134 00:12:43.840 --> 00:12:50.720 didn't have the evil reported within thirty seconds of it happening. He says, 135 00:12:50.759 --> 00:12:54.799 if something happened bad in our town, it may take two or three days 136 00:12:54.840 --> 00:13:00.440 for it to become known. And he says, so with the proliferation of 137 00:13:00.600 --> 00:13:05.279 all of the you know, evil cells, bad acts cells, and good 138 00:13:05.360 --> 00:13:07.240 seldom does, he says, So you hear about it more, and it 139 00:13:07.279 --> 00:13:11.320 gets amplified, and you get the impression that the world is coming down. 140 00:13:11.960 --> 00:13:16.720 And so I te that in perspective. I try to keep that in perspective 141 00:13:16.759 --> 00:13:20.919 when I'm surrounded in all you know, we're just bathed in bad news. 142 00:13:20.600 --> 00:13:26.480 And Steve, just because of just because of time, and I think you 143 00:13:26.559 --> 00:13:28.320 for your call, I want to be able to try and answer it for 144 00:13:28.639 --> 00:13:35.240 quickly. The best thing you can do is to counter these things with the 145 00:13:35.279 --> 00:13:37.279 goodness. Of God, to be that example, to live in a way 146 00:13:37.320 --> 00:13:41.080 that makes people ask you, as we said earlier, about the faith that 147 00:13:41.159 --> 00:13:46.000 lies within you. That is, that is the key proliferation of how this 148 00:13:46.039 --> 00:13:50.399 stuff gets disseminated. The news and everything, yes, plays a part of 149 00:13:50.440 --> 00:13:54.120 it, but there still is a symptom of a breakdown, of a rejection. 150 00:13:54.320 --> 00:13:58.039 And they reject not only the will of God, they reject the will 151 00:13:58.240 --> 00:14:03.600 of a society. They know that it's wrong because they wouldn't want people to 152 00:14:03.639 --> 00:14:05.600 do it to them. They don't want people smashing down their doors, coming 153 00:14:05.600 --> 00:14:11.279 in and taking their stuff. But there's an entitlement. That entitlement comes from 154 00:14:11.320 --> 00:14:18.879 them being their own God and satisfying whatever need or want they have. Therein 155 00:14:18.000 --> 00:14:24.200 lies the ultimate problem with mankind, and it's not that it's getting worse or 156 00:14:24.279 --> 00:14:31.840 better. It's that it's consistently a man's desire to reject and to do what 157 00:14:31.879 --> 00:14:35.120 they want, which is one of the reasons that people claim the Bible wasn't 158 00:14:35.120 --> 00:14:39.320 written by man because the rules are too hard to live by, and why 159 00:14:39.399 --> 00:14:48.120 would man write that when his ultimate desire is to rebel. Let's talk to 160 00:14:48.200 --> 00:14:54.600 John. John, Welcome to the Jesus Christ Show. Thank you. Your 161 00:14:54.639 --> 00:14:58.320 show is such a blessing. Oh, thank you John for listening. I 162 00:14:58.399 --> 00:15:05.799 appreciate that even the music sound bites are inspirational with your choices. And I'm 163 00:15:05.799 --> 00:15:11.519 seeing that almost every positive song could be a love song to God if you 164 00:15:11.600 --> 00:15:16.799 took just take the girl's name out of it. Oh sure, and our 165 00:15:16.919 --> 00:15:22.399 producer of music, God and God, and it's it's it's almost every song 166 00:15:22.559 --> 00:15:26.440 is to our creators, and it's beautiful, and that's where love comes from. 167 00:15:26.480 --> 00:15:31.200 And that song of Solomon and beauty. But Tony does a wonderful job 168 00:15:31.240 --> 00:15:39.639 picking music specifically for people to to get that vibe. So I'm glad that's 169 00:15:39.639 --> 00:15:43.200 how you receive it. Yeah, I didn't mean taking women out of the 170 00:15:43.200 --> 00:15:48.320 equation. I just meant I understand. I think women written by a lonely 171 00:15:48.360 --> 00:15:56.519 cowboy right my my bumper, my bumper sticker would be God leave, God 172 00:15:56.600 --> 00:16:00.399 leads, we follow. And that was your whole example of your entire life, 173 00:16:00.559 --> 00:16:03.519 were you were being led. You were in the moment of being led. 174 00:16:03.360 --> 00:16:12.240 And I'm seeing that, Like I really focus on on the Psalm well 175 00:16:12.240 --> 00:16:17.519 mostly Ecesians four six, God over us, God in us, and God 176 00:16:17.600 --> 00:16:22.879 through us, and not from us. Actually, at the same time it 177 00:16:22.960 --> 00:16:26.840 comes through us, it comes from us. The scary part is the lie 178 00:16:26.919 --> 00:16:33.279 can come from us, but it doesn't come through us. The truth always 179 00:16:33.279 --> 00:16:37.320 comes through us, but something has to come from us in the form of 180 00:16:37.320 --> 00:16:45.200 a voice or an action. But I see that many people are traumatized and 181 00:16:45.279 --> 00:16:51.840 affected, mostly from their past. Also, be still and no Psalm forty 182 00:16:51.960 --> 00:16:56.279 six ten is huge. To be still and know, I really practice being 183 00:16:56.360 --> 00:17:03.240 still, very powerful verse to here, be still and know that I am 184 00:17:03.319 --> 00:17:10.839 God. Is that not everything is a forward action, and sometimes just being 185 00:17:10.880 --> 00:17:15.559 in the presence of God and being quiet can be a powerful moment. Well, 186 00:17:15.559 --> 00:17:21.039 it's very healing, and I see it's a source of all healing because 187 00:17:21.079 --> 00:17:26.599 I see these like yourself. I'm not like you, but like I'm a 188 00:17:26.640 --> 00:17:30.680 street preacher, mostly a street listener. I've listened. I'm in an area. 189 00:17:30.680 --> 00:17:34.759 I've listened to many homeless, many veterans. I've yet to encounter one 190 00:17:34.839 --> 00:17:38.240 that had a happy childhood like I did. I had a military father, 191 00:17:38.440 --> 00:17:44.319 very controlling, but very loving in his own way. He wasn't an amusic 192 00:17:44.440 --> 00:17:49.160 drunk like a lot of mostly fathers can be. So I got out of 193 00:17:49.160 --> 00:17:55.039 it pretty easy. But I was totally controlled by him. It was his 194 00:17:55.160 --> 00:18:00.680 rules under his roof. It wasn't God's rules. So it was tumatizing in 195 00:18:00.799 --> 00:18:06.480 its own way, but not to degree. Abuse of traumatized many people and 196 00:18:06.519 --> 00:18:10.599 they never are helped from that. I see the meditation. The stillness is 197 00:18:10.640 --> 00:18:15.039 really the only healer. It's practicing. Stillness is like a musical instrument. 198 00:18:15.079 --> 00:18:19.680 You pick up a trumpet, You're not good at it. God's love is 199 00:18:19.759 --> 00:18:25.759 always there. It's a devil. It's in the way. I always when 200 00:18:26.039 --> 00:18:29.240 I do say something, it comes through me. It's always. It's always 201 00:18:29.279 --> 00:18:33.640 not how much God we need, It's always there all the time. You 202 00:18:33.759 --> 00:18:37.400 showed us that it's about not listening to the devil, not giving the devil 203 00:18:37.480 --> 00:18:41.759 the energy that it wants, like you did for many days a night. 204 00:18:42.119 --> 00:18:48.799 I've done that. I've meditated, I've fasted, I've followed your example and 205 00:18:48.839 --> 00:18:53.720 a scripture scripture says John to resist the devil and he shall flee. Now 206 00:18:53.720 --> 00:18:56.000 we've only got a couple of minutes here, so I want to make sure 207 00:18:56.039 --> 00:19:00.480 you get your question is what is your question for me this morning? Question? 208 00:19:00.160 --> 00:19:06.559 Quickly as those people that have been traumatized like I've witnessed many people and 209 00:19:06.599 --> 00:19:10.319 it's played down in their life that the last guest before you, the last 210 00:19:10.359 --> 00:19:12.400 show before you, was an author about a guy, a murder, mass 211 00:19:12.440 --> 00:19:15.640 murder, who was so abused that he became a monster. Like a lot 212 00:19:15.680 --> 00:19:21.079 of men, mostly men have become they're not even aware of what they're doing. 213 00:19:21.119 --> 00:19:25.640 They're so possessed by the devil. So when they die judgment day, 214 00:19:25.839 --> 00:19:30.880 I don't see those people being judged by what they became because they didn't have 215 00:19:30.920 --> 00:19:34.640 a chance to have proper God loves in their life. All they had was 216 00:19:34.680 --> 00:19:40.039 a devil. They had too much devil, complete devil, well, who 217 00:19:40.039 --> 00:19:44.359 were so horrendous. So how does that work? John? I appreciate your 218 00:19:44.359 --> 00:19:48.480 call. There's the thing that you have to understand is first and foremost, 219 00:19:48.680 --> 00:19:55.519 it's not about what people do, because Scripture Ephesians two eight and nine says 220 00:19:55.680 --> 00:20:00.079 for it is by grace you have been saved through faith, and this is 221 00:20:00.160 --> 00:20:03.920 not from yourself. It is the gift of God, not by works, 222 00:20:04.960 --> 00:20:11.000 so that no one can boast. So as much as that's hard for people 223 00:20:11.240 --> 00:20:17.319 in this world to understand, because people compare others to them so well, 224 00:20:17.319 --> 00:20:22.119 I'm better than that guy I've never murdered anybody there is. It's different when 225 00:20:22.160 --> 00:20:27.640 you're comparing to God, who's perfect. Everybody falls short, of course. 226 00:20:27.640 --> 00:20:30.799 In Scripture, it says if you even think about murder, you've committed it. 227 00:20:32.319 --> 00:20:37.799 So there's a lot to think about. However, there is also you 228 00:20:37.000 --> 00:20:42.480 are accountable for yourself as well, and that means that there were opportunities. 229 00:20:42.519 --> 00:20:48.839 As a matter of fact, Scripture says that everybody will have an opportunity to 230 00:20:48.880 --> 00:20:52.720 accept or reject God. It's not based on the things that people have done. 231 00:20:52.839 --> 00:20:56.759 And that's not to say you can go out and murder, but it's 232 00:20:56.799 --> 00:21:00.279 not based on what people have done. It's about the acceptance of God. 233 00:21:00.319 --> 00:21:04.240 Who God is in changing your life. That's why. For it is by 234 00:21:04.440 --> 00:21:11.480 grace you have been saved Comma through faith, and not by through the things 235 00:21:11.519 --> 00:21:15.599 that you've done or who you are, good or bad. You can't work 236 00:21:15.640 --> 00:21:22.240 your way into heaven. You can't work your way out of heaven except for 237 00:21:22.240 --> 00:21:26.079 the unpardonable sin, which is rejecting the Holy Spirit. And that means that 238 00:21:26.160 --> 00:21:32.160 you reject the wooing of God, of the Holy Spirit that brings you to 239 00:21:32.319 --> 00:21:36.680 Me, that brings you to the Father. Only by rejecting that is there 240 00:21:36.680 --> 00:21:41.720 a problem and that God promises you will never die without having the opportunity of 241 00:21:41.839 --> 00:21:49.440 knowing. All right, let's talk to Marvin. Marvin, welcome to the 242 00:21:49.519 --> 00:21:56.279 Jesus Christ Show. Yes, Jesus, the question I'd like to suppose to 243 00:21:56.319 --> 00:22:02.480 you you are in the creation of this universe? Is that correct? I'm 244 00:22:02.519 --> 00:22:06.000 sorry, Come, I use that warm Okay, use that with God in 245 00:22:06.039 --> 00:22:10.359 the creation of the universe. Uh. When God created this whole uh, 246 00:22:10.599 --> 00:22:15.400 this whole system. Okay. My courses is that why did he create all 247 00:22:15.440 --> 00:22:21.839 these different people, all these different races, all these different I hatred because 248 00:22:22.000 --> 00:22:29.559 I've seen the black people suffered in this world horribly. And whether it's a 249 00:22:29.640 --> 00:22:33.799 doctor King, or whether it's or Nelson Mandela, or whether it's you, 250 00:22:33.480 --> 00:22:37.599 everybody that follows you. They tried to do right. They tried to bring 251 00:22:37.160 --> 00:22:42.200 peace, justice, warming to the world. They're murdered. They're murdered out 252 00:22:42.240 --> 00:22:48.519 of this world. So my question is this, why are there's so much 253 00:22:48.160 --> 00:22:53.079 diversity amongst the people? Who do you know is right? Who can you 254 00:22:53.119 --> 00:22:56.720 say it's right? You see, who is the one you call God? 255 00:22:56.799 --> 00:22:59.759 You talk about God all the time? Who is the one called God. 256 00:23:00.000 --> 00:23:04.119 There are more than one God. No, not in the Christian belief system. 257 00:23:04.160 --> 00:23:10.799 No, okay, is a female dot. There is no sex with 258 00:23:10.920 --> 00:23:15.400 God. Now, if you're talking about the form I came in, yes, 259 00:23:15.440 --> 00:23:18.559 that was a male form. If you're talking about the way they use 260 00:23:18.640 --> 00:23:25.039 the term Father for the Father, yes, it's a male word, masculine 261 00:23:25.319 --> 00:23:27.960 in design. But there are other names for God, like else should I 262 00:23:29.799 --> 00:23:34.799 that is feminine and God has no sex. There's no need for sex with 263 00:23:34.880 --> 00:23:41.079 the Father. It's just the term that's used. If it was a female 264 00:23:41.839 --> 00:23:45.599 only, then people would be asking why. But God is not a sexual 265 00:23:45.720 --> 00:23:53.240 being. There's no need for sex with God. Okay. You talk about 266 00:23:53.319 --> 00:24:02.160 heaven, say once you're in heaven. No, there's no solve, there's 267 00:24:02.240 --> 00:24:07.000 no hatred, there's no heightened there's no bigotry. No, that's man made. 268 00:24:07.480 --> 00:24:14.119 That's man made. Okay, so it is man made. There's no 269 00:24:14.160 --> 00:24:18.240 such thing as race. There's the human race. Race is a construct that 270 00:24:18.680 --> 00:24:25.039 people have built. It is not scientific. You can't go in and separate 271 00:24:25.240 --> 00:24:30.160 race. You can separate the amount of melanin in somebody and say that person 272 00:24:30.200 --> 00:24:36.200 has more melanin, or that has that person has less melanin. But there's 273 00:24:36.240 --> 00:24:41.880 only one color in humanity. It's the different shades of it. There's not 274 00:24:41.480 --> 00:24:45.839 Some have more of it, some have less of it. But it's not. 275 00:24:45.920 --> 00:24:48.400 What people fight over is not color, believe it or not. People 276 00:24:48.440 --> 00:24:53.960 fight over culture. That's why religion gets thrown into it. Religion is part 277 00:24:53.960 --> 00:24:59.319 of someone's culture, their beliefs. It's not because the cult their skin. 278 00:25:00.240 --> 00:25:06.400 It's because their religious beliefs. People fight over land and power, not because 279 00:25:06.440 --> 00:25:10.400 that has anything to do with what people call race. That has to do 280 00:25:10.559 --> 00:25:17.240 with power and land, and people will fight over things they will make. 281 00:25:17.519 --> 00:25:22.920 And this happens to communities too. So in the African American community, they 282 00:25:22.960 --> 00:25:27.559 will make fun of the darkest of the dark of their tribe in their mind 283 00:25:27.880 --> 00:25:33.920 and the lightest of the light. And in the Latino community they'll do the 284 00:25:33.960 --> 00:25:41.480 same. And it is humanities issue with that. As far as the death, 285 00:25:41.640 --> 00:25:45.839 Marvin, and I appreciate your phone call. As far as death, 286 00:25:47.359 --> 00:25:53.720 death is on man. There is only one constant in all turmoil one and 287 00:25:53.799 --> 00:26:02.559 it's not religion, and it's not race, and it's not creed. The 288 00:26:02.599 --> 00:26:11.559 only only consistent and constant in all of the turmoil is humanity, not man. 289 00:26:11.720 --> 00:26:19.480 Not woman humanity. Humanity doesn't like change. Humanity doesn't like anything that 290 00:26:19.519 --> 00:26:27.599 makes themselves feel uncomfortable. Martin Luther King was not killed for being black. 291 00:26:27.880 --> 00:26:38.079 Martin Luther King Jr. Was killed for shedding light on injustice and people not 292 00:26:38.200 --> 00:26:45.200 wanting to see it. And that happens to a lot of people. The 293 00:26:45.279 --> 00:26:52.759 Pope for goodness sake drives around in the popemobile that is bulletproof. Leaders drive 294 00:26:52.839 --> 00:27:03.839 around in vehicles that are bulletproof. That is a human kind issue that's not 295 00:27:03.920 --> 00:27:14.279 about anything else. And the experience of African Americans is different than Africans in 296 00:27:14.359 --> 00:27:22.599 Africa and in other parts of the world because of the culture that was thrust 297 00:27:22.680 --> 00:27:30.799 upon them, not per their request or desire, but because in pride and 298 00:27:32.200 --> 00:27:40.640 ingreed, they were brought over to the United States against their will, and 299 00:27:40.720 --> 00:27:45.359 so that starts out the relationship with the country. And so that's going to 300 00:27:45.480 --> 00:27:51.960 cause a different culture and a different break in things. And that's all man made.
