You're listening to KFI on demand and Jose, welcome to the Jesus Christ either
good morning. My question is we have the Ladies of Perpetual Indulgence. Um,
you mean the Sisters Indulgence. Correct, Yes, So they're interjecting their
influence in sports now, it's been it's been happening in schools, in politics.
So my question is why is it okay for them to influence their values
on on us? What do you mean on us as just as a society.
You have the Archdiocese of Orange County that says they're anti Christian and anti
Catholic by mocking the Catholic religion. You have the Archdiocese of Los Angeles accepting,
accepting them for what they appear to be according to themselves, that they're
heroes. So I'm just a little confused on why it's okay for them to
be, you know, interjecting their whatever message they're trying to are you are
you asking me, Jose, that in a country like the United States founded
upon liberty and the freedom of both speech and opinion and faith and all of
these things, they're pushing their beliefs on you. But when you have beliefs
you're not pushing them on them. They've been around seventy nine, long as
the Catholic Church been around. I'm not certain on that, but a lot
longer than nineteen seventy nine. Okay, So do you think the Catholic Church
has ever pushed their faith on others? I would agree yes they had.
It was that wrong? Is it wrong for people to proselytize? Is it
wrong for any faith based group to go out and tell people about their beliefs.
No, But when it's grown men with beards marking uh, you know,
the Catholic Church or the religion, it's just a little confusing. So
what do I tell my you know, like my twelve year old son,
if I take into the game, like, you know, if you ask
me why, you know, why is this guy dressed up which appears to
be a nun and he's got a beard? Well, for one, I'm
okay, well, let's look at this, because I think people get to
the emotional place and they don't think about their place in the world. They're
only concerned about others. So, first of all, although there's nuns in
many different denominations, not just the Roman Catholic, but Oriental, Orthodox,
Eastern Orthodox, Lutheran, Anglican, other Christian domination. Even Buddhists have nuns,
although they go by a different name. So it's not just the Catholic
Church. But I would say that who do you think drew first blood?
You think the Catholic Church or Christianity as a whole drew first blood. In
the the conversation of sexual orientation and the like, I'll cut to the chase,
it was the church. You have people running around wrongly with signs that
say God hates and the pejorative F word for gays. And then you get
a group of five O, one C three the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence starting
in San Francisco Easter Sunday, nineteen seventy nine, and they, by their
own words, devoted themselves to community service, ministry and outs reach to those
on the edge. Some would say that's what this show does as well,
even though some people are offended by it. Many are offended by it.
But I would say I'm in line with that as well, try and outreach
to those on the edge. I like to think that promote human rights here,
respect for diversity, and spiritual enlightenment. They say those same things I
know you may not like it, but in the United States to have somebody,
and I would bet that there's a good number of former Catholics in that
group that felt abandoned, hurt, mocked, minimalized. And so if you're
going to turn around and call them a hate group, you'd have to look
at the church and the belief systems that started that first. There's more to
it than just these But I want people to think differently because it's very easy
to say you're picking on me, But you know someone else who mocked the
religious leaders merciful Leslie was me, Matthew twenty three. Then Jesus said to
the crowds and to his disciples, the teachers of religious law and the Pharisees
are the official interpreters of the Law of Moses. So practice and obey whatever
they tell you, but don't follow their example. They don't practice what they
teach. They crush people with unbearable religious demands and never lift a finger to
ease the burden. Everything they do is for show on their arms. They
wear extra wide prayer boxes with scriptural verses inside. They wear robes with extra
long tassels, and they love to sit at the head of the table at
banquets and the seat of honor in the synagogues. They love to receive respectful
greetings as they walk in the marketplace, and they love to be called rabbi.
And it goes on and on and on. Those who exalt themselves will
be humbled. Those who humble themselves will be exalted. What sorrow awaits you
teachers of religious law, you pharisees, hypocrites, for you shut the door
the Kingdom of Heaven in people's faces. You won't go in yourselves, and
you don't let others enter either. How is that any different than a group
of people that I said probably came from religious backgrounds or felt oppressed by them,
turning to the church and saying the same thing. You leaders are hypocrites.
You let pedophiles get away with things, You push things under the rug.
You sit there in your fancy clothing and preach to everyone like you have
your hand on the door to heaven and that you and you alone let people
in. How is that different than what I said to the religious leaders two
thousand years ago. I understand your message, and I would agree with some
some of it, and I appreciate you clarifying this topic for me, I
would call them. If you have questions, I would call them and say,
well, what are you doing? What am I missing? But when
Christianity has the Inquisition, when the christian when Christianity has the Crusades killing people
if they didn't believe what they believed, I think maybe getting a grip on
some of those things before casting stones as people. Human beings who believe differently
are dressing up to get your attention, to use their pain and their confusion
the way they've been treated, to help others and to raise money so that
others won't be left in those dark little corners that nobody wants to look at.
And I think until that scene, until people understand each other and listen,
nobody's listening. Everybody's talking over each other and nobody's listening, And until
that happens, it's going to be looked at at just mocking faith, and
it's not. It's mocking religion. And I too mocked religion in scripture.
So keep that in mind. Susan, Welcome to the Jesus Christ Show.
Good morning, Thank you hire Hi. Okay, so as far as I
got through, and let me see if I can formulate this question. So
my question is about the trinity. And I've always believed that there's brand one
father, son, holy Spirit, that Jesus is the equal to God.
Basically, Jesus is God um. And you know, and I know the
scriptures before Abraham, I am. The big scripture I think is John one
one where they talk about in the beginning with the word the word was God
God. Yeah. So but I've seen across a woman that she believes in
the divinity of Jesus, that he is the son of God, the only
son of God. But she believes that it's very important that there's a differentiation
that the Father, that the son submits to the Father. How he says,
thy will not mind be done. My food is to do the will
of the Father. You know, I do exactly because she believes that that
the spirit of anti authority is kind of what causes people to rebel. And
so that was a very important example that there is the Father and the Son.
So I guess my questions is about the trinity. How do you be
is Jesus equivalent to God or is he beneath God? Kind of Nope,
no beneath there is no status or upper position lower position. The way it
works for humanity is that I, Jesus would bring you to the Father,
and when I left, sent the Holy Spirit that would bring you to me,
and then I would bring you to the Father. But it's not in
the sense of separation, and there's not a lot of ways to look at
this in a human although there are examples, most examples that people give about
the Trinity are considered what they call economical. So it's like people will say
it agg is three parts, but it's one. That's not true because they
can eat should be separated. You can have the shell, the albumen or
the yoke, and then the bumen is the whites and then the yoke.
So there is a way to separate them if you think of it more like
time. Time is one and simultaneously three past, present in future. You
can't separate them. Now. You can use a clock that makes you think
you're separating them, but you're not. Past present in future is happening simultaneously.
Right now, we have a past present in future that are constantly moving
but never separating. You can't separate it in any way, shape or form,
and it's the same with the Trinity. There's no separation. There's no
higherarchy. It's the Godhead. All our creators of the universe, all are
sustainers of the universe, all are one one God. Yeah, Schma,
Yeslayelahad is one Ah God, God is one period. Glenn. Welcome and
thank you for your patience. Good morning, Jesus. I love you.
Thank you for your blessings. God bless you. How can I help you
today? Well, my life hasn't been easy, but I'm so grateful.
I'm happy most of the time. My mother, she specially, abused my
brother and sister their whole lives. I haven't spoken to them in twenty years.
All three of them still lived together. My father was a drunk his
whole life. Now he's just a damn gambling at it. And spoke to
him in three years. But I'm haunted by my memories occasionally, so i
think about them every day. Well, I have these memories in heaven.
Well, first of all, you say that your mom sexually abused your siblings
and they still live with her. Yeah, all three of them still live
together. That spoke to any of them in twenty years. Wow, And
your reasons are not reached out to me? Okay, they haven't reached out
to me. Nothing, no repentance, nothing. Well what so if they
were abused, why should they reach out to you. I don't know.
You know, they don't even they don't know why I'm going. The last
thing my mom said to me was, you know, some people think incest
is normal. And I said, well, I gotta go, and I
got my car and I loved and I haven't spoke to her since, or
my brother or my sister. So they don't even know why I'm going.
Well, I mean obviously came up enough to have the conversation and them to
make a defense for it. That is bizarre. Is this a very remote
part of the United States? This is in Salt Lake City, Utah.
I see, Well, they're not Mormon either. I know all about religious
people. Lord, I don't trust religious people at all, none of them.
Okay, Well, religion, the Bible. I love the Bible.
I love the Lord, and that's all I need. I think there is
a big difference between religion and faith. For one. For two, you
had asked if you are going to think about this in heaven. So let's
pull apart because I have a feeling this is a very, very very deep
hole to start playing in. Because incest is incest is a legal matter,
moral matter. Indeed, there is no okay for incest in scripture. Some
might say, well, what about the need to populate the earth when there
was Adam and Eve. The reality is that the law of incest didn't come
till much later, some nine hundred years later or so. But the reality
is that it was ultimately condemned, and so there's no scriptural place that you
can look at and say that it is okay. Secondly, it's illegal and
that is a legal issue. And then the reality of what it does to
the individuals, it's strange. So there's so much to get in there,
and why you weren't a part of it. In all this, I'm going
to stick, for the sake of time to your question, which was are
you going to remember your earthly life? And the reality is Revelation twenty one.
Ford declares he will wipe every tear from their eyes. Isaiah sixty five
seventeen says, for behold, I create new heavens and new earth, and
the former shall not be remembered nor come into your mind. Now, some
think that that means you're not going to remember any of your life. And
that's not through either. It clarifies in Isaiah sixty five sixteen, for the
past troubles will be forgotten and hidden from my eye, which is different.
So no, there will not be that. You will not remember the painful
or the ugly things. You will simply be washed from the troublesome and the
heavy stuff. So that is the reality and what it comes down to.
I wish you well, that is quite the heavy story. Indeed, let's
see if we can fit Mike in here. Mike, Welcome to the Jesus
Christ Show. Thank you Jesus. My question is I was reading the Bible.
It seems like Jesus disappears for a couple of decades. Very any stories
about those times? Oh no, there's yes, go ahead. Also,
I think it felt angry over the radio a couple of calls ago from you.
What's that? I think I spelt some anger from you a couple of
calls ago. I've never heard that before. Oh no, you don't think
that there's anger in scripture, you know, I'll just from this show,
I don't. I think that's the first time. Well, no, there's
righteous indignation for sure. And what you might have heard is anger. Doesn't
necessarily mean that it is. As a matter of fact, you remember in
scripture when they turned over tables in the marketplace. Yeah, the Bible does
get kind of violet in some spots. Well, it's not violence as much
as it is intensity. Righteous indignation has its place when it comes to screen.
You will hear it on this show as well. When people don't listen
or they read, or they take scripture and use it to cause harm.
It absolutely absolutely angers me. And anger again, is not a sin.
Rage is a sin. Anger has its place, Mike, and sometimes it
needs to be used. As far as the so called lost years or disappearance,
you say a couple of decades, No, there are eighteen quiet years.
You go from the fact that I was twelve years old and I was
celebrating a feast and it refers to me as being a normal youth. And
then again the incident of me being baptized at the age of thirty and that
is actually the start of my ministry. Is well, so you get two
things there. What some will say is the lost eighteen years, but it's
not. It was strictly working the carpenter shop. My ministry was a small
part of my life. The other part was being practical living on earth.
And you know this because there are references when I started my ministry that people
were like, isn't that Joseph's kid, the carpenter, and now he's preaching
and doing miracles. So they wouldn't have known me if I was gone.
Some people say that I went into bed or went to with these different places
or somehow studied something different. No, I was in town. They all
knew who I was. I just first stated at twelve my mission and my
ministry would come and who I was, and then at the age of thirty
started that ministry. That's all nothing magic, nothing mysterious, certainly nothing to
write hundreds and hundreds of books about. Oh boy, Tony Sarantino, our
music director, playing some social distortion. There. We're sending prayers out to
the lead singer, Mike Ness, who was diagnosed recently with tonsil cancer stage
one and all things are hopeful to get him singing back on stage and all
those things soon enough. So from the Jesus Show, we're sitting prayers and
love and of course good vibes out to Mike Ness. I know that it's
been a very busy morning, and a lot of questions on the board.
I'm going to do my best to get to as much as we can.
Let's talk to Glenn. Glenn, Welcome to the Jesus Christ Show. Thank
you, Glenn. I had a friend that died about three years ago.
He told me when he got to heaven, he's going to send me a
signal or let me know. So after you die, how soon do you
go to heaven? Well, a couple of things going on there. There's
nothing that says in scripture that someone can send a message. As a matter
of fact, it's frowned upon in Deuteronomy to try and receive one. But
I will tell you that in scripture it's pretty clear that it's immediate. Now,
there are different things between the soul and the physical body. Obviously the
physical body is not what goes to heaven. But it says in scripture and
he Brews nine twenty seven, and just as it is appointed for man to
die once, after that comes the judgment. It also says in Second Corinthians
five eight to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord.
If you remember, also on the cross, you hear me say to
one of the thieves that they will be with me today in paradise. So
there's nothing that shows any delay or any of that. But again going back
to the question at hand, if you're expecting to hear from an old friend
heaven, that's not something that is said to take place. There's only one
example where someone brought someone back and it was condemned, and really coming back
beings trying to connect with someone. I know that in the human emotions,
it's nice to think that someone's there and they're looking over you, and we
even use that terminology here on the program from time to time. But it's
it's not literal. It's the focus of humans being in heaven is to be
back with their maker, to be reconnected with their Maker. It's not about
the earth. It's not just like, oh, here's heaven. It's just
a really cool earth where you get everything you want and everything's great. No,
it's about reconnecting with God. And yes, you will have memories of
your family, you will be able to connect with your family that are there,
but it's not about that. It's about focusing on God, connecting with
God. I hope that helps to close us out today. Just a reminder
about hate and even a call that brought up anger. There is righteous anger,
righteous indignation, and that's okay. It's okay to get loud at times.
But the United States is going through a very problematic time of not listening.
Everybody wants to shove their view out there, and as a matter of
fact, social media has falsely told individuals that their view is the most important.
And I will tell you that you have two ears and one mouth for
a reason. Listening is imperative. Listening must be at the forefront. You
must do your homework. Don't go out there with some sort of righteousness that
you think you understand someone else unless you've heard from someone else. They crucify
me because they didn't like what I was saying. I mocked modern day religion.
In my day, I was seen as a threat the way I dressed,
the people, I hung out with, whores and tax collectors. I
was referred to as a drunkard. If you have concerns, asked, find
out the truth before you jump on a bandwagon, call names, or even
worse, start fights and division and ugliness. The world has plenty, do
your part to not be a part of that. Above all things, remember
these words. I am with you Always, kf I AM six porty on demand
