You're listening to KF I am sixty on demand. Marty. Welcome to the
Jesus Christ Show. Um, hello Jesus Well Hiam Marty, honor and a
pleasure to speak to you, sir, I am a pleasure happen to help
you. Um. Well, UM, I just I was wondering in regards
to Mary. UM. I know that, Um, you know you had
mentioned that Mary was poor, and but I Jesus was connected to David through
Joseph's lineage, Yes, David, and so if that's the case, how
is it that Joseph was was poor? I mean if he was related to
you know, the king of Israel and and uh, you know, Um,
I was just wondering how you know, you know, what might have
happened in between King David, you know, um and uh Herod. You
know, from King David to Herod Jesus's time. Well, you're you're talking
about a long period of time for one, and you know, there was
a number of people. It's not like I was the only one that was
a descendant. Um, There's many people. And there's a length, a
large length and period of time between David's reign and that particular time. As
a matter of fact, you could tell that there was no king of Israel
at that time. You had Roman rule. So there's obviously a massive amount
of change that took place between the time of David and two thousand years ago
when I walked this earth. There's just major, major difference. You can
be a descendant of all kinds of people here in the United States. Doesn't
mean that you have any money, absolutely, I see. And so that
just fulfilled prophecy, correct, because there was a prophecy that said, you
know, you would be descended from David. Yes. Second Samuel seven twelve
through fifteen talks about that necessity. And it's really not about the just the
physical lineage. I know that comes up a lot, but throughout scripture there's
about seventeen different verses in the New Testament alone that described me as the son
of David. And it's more than just that that lineage. It's it's really
a title. It's about that title. It's about fulfilling the prophecy more than
it is about you know, tracking down my family heritage. Yeah, I
see, jus I apologize, yeah, need to apologize. It's a great
question, it really is, because you'd think where did that money go where
does you know where You've got royalty at one point and then all of a
sudden you don't. But there's a long period of time and things change.
As I said that, the even the entire structure was gone by that point,
and now you had a Roman rule. So a lot had changed in
that time period that had caused the You know, it wasn't a matter of
money being passed down. You're talking about many generations. If you go through
and look at Matthew one, or you go through and you look at Luke
three, you see that it's it's a good chunk of distance between the two.
And I know that can get confusing sometimes, but really, again,
it's not just about the physical line of David. It's really about that title
and what that title means. And there's many conversations that take place as well.
As a matter of fact, there are conversations I had with the scribes
and the pharisees in regards to this. They were always trying to trip me
up, you know. They would they would ask me questions and try and
get me to answer in hopes that I would upset people with my answer.
And in a way I would do the same to them, not so much
to trip them up as much as it was to show them that they're The
way they processed thought and their questions and the things that they did Marty really
based on hypocrisy or lack of information, and they weren't as smart as they
thought they were. And so there's times in scripture where I'm talking to the
scribes and the Pharisees and I'm asking them those very questions. I'm saying,
well, isn't it interesting that you say that I am the son of David?
You get that concept of the son of David. Yet and that the
Messiah was to be the son of David come from that lineage. However,
that David in Psalm one ten one refers to him as his Lord. So
I would ask the Pharisees and the scribes, okay, so even the son
of David, the Messiah, even the son of David, is referred to
as lord by David, showing the obvious confusion that would come from, well,
wait a second, is he the son of David? Or is he
the Lord of David? And because there's meaning to these things rather than just
the concept, every time I would say something, people would get confused based
on, well what does that mean? Is it for the physical or is
it for the spiritual? When I am in conversation with Nicodemus about an often
misunderstood term being born again, that is not a Protestant denomination. Being born
again is a spiritual transformation that every Christian, whether you're a Catholic or Protestant,
must go through. And sometimes it's translated as begotten from above. But
that term confused Nicodemus, and he's like, well, let me get this
straight. Are we supposed to go into our mother's womb and be born a
second time? But it wasn't about the physical experience, it was about the
spiritual experience. That humans need to be born twice. They need to be
born first to the flesh, and second they have to have a spiritual birth.
And yes, humans will have two deaths as well, maybe because they
can have a physical death and if they haven't rejected God and God's will,
then they won't have to go through a spiritual death. But if they have
rejected God and God's will, they'll go through a spiritual death. So often
these things are understood both in the physical realm and the spiritual realm. So
physically there were something that say, well, you so it's just about the
lineage, what does that mean? And then there were other times where I
had to get them to see that it wasn't just about the physical lineage.
It was about the spiritual and about the title. And on a day like
today, a lot of people think about, you know, parentage and where
they come from and how they were raised, celebrating that, celebrating individuals in
their life that were part of that. And there is something too where you've
come from. Now it can define you to a certain degree. There are
things that you learn about yourself through those that raised you, but ultimately you're
an individual. Ultimately you're your own person, and you define who you are
based on those tools that are given to you. Taken many of phone calls
from parents who are frustrated with their children and adult children maybe say well,
you know, I don't know what to do. What do I do?
Do I sit them down? Do I tell them about this? Because they're
concerned about some path thereon in their life or something they're doing in their life.
And really the best you can do is to give tools to your children.
You pass along tools to them, and you give them the ability to
use those tools as they see fit. You can't control them, you can't
live their life for them. That concept of the helicopter parenting, where you're
hovering over your child all the time, trying to live for them. That
doesn't build tools. Builds a safety net maybe, but it doesn't give them
the tools that they need to actually learn to understand how to deal with their
own life. So you give them these tools, you pass them along,
and you hope that they utilize them in a way that will build strength and
confidence and abilities to make decisions and to use discernment so they don't get caught
up with the wrong people or in the wrong situations, or walking down the
wrong path. And everybody has gone down the wrong path some degree. It's
one of the ways you learn about the right path, right. But in
that process of experimentation, in that process of learning and about yourself having those
tools, the gift, the ultimate gift of a parent is going to be
key. The best gift you can give to a child is not the gift
of overparenting. It's not the gift of this huge safety net. It's not
the gift of wrapping your child in bubble wrap. I love this concept of
childproofing where people come in and they try and child proof a home and I
realize there are sharp, sharp corners and chemicals and things that need to be
locked up and cared for. All that's great, but the concept of you
ever childproofing anything with curiosity of a young mind and the desire to learn and
to know things, you can't child proof everything just won't ever work. But
what you can do is you can teach, and you can impart, and
you can give these tools the children so that as they grow, they will
continually carry them around with them and learn to utilize them to the best of
their abilities based on the guidance that you've given them, so that they can
go through every type of concern or doorway or situation in life and come out
the other end knowing that it's not just about you being there for them,
but they're being well equipped with the tools that you gave them. You're listening
to KFI A six on demand. Alex, Welcome to the Jesus Christ Show.
Thank you. I have a question regarding the Book of Jokes. Okay.
Impression has always been that job was without sin. However, I was
challenged recently by a colleague who claims that Job forty two six is a statement
of him confessing sin and thereby repenting. That's when he regains God's grace.
And I'd like your opinion on it or your knowledge on that. Yeah,
that's correct, Job forty two six. Therefore, I retract and I repent
in dust and ashes is correct. Not only that, but Job says in
other places that you know that he's disgusted with the way he is. He
says that his own confession, I abhor myself and repent in dust his ashes
there in forty six in other translations. So not only that, but the
confusion comes in when people read Job one one, where it says that God
declares that Job was blameless and upright, and one who feared God and shunned
evil. And people look at that and think, oh, so Job was
perfect. Job was not perfect. The scripture here is actually referring to Job
being blameless before man but not before God, and Romans three nineteen talks about
being blameless before God, and in this particular case in Job, Job is
blameless before man, which means that he's a good guide. He's living by
the standards of man, but not necessarily by the standards of God. Them
being two different things. So God's praise dealing with Job was not absolute.
That's clear because later in chapter thirty eight as well, you have a condemnation,
and then you have Job himself in chapter forty two make a statement.
And then you know from Romans three nineteen that there that there's a difference between
blameless or perfect before man and being blameless and perfect before God. So two
very very different things. And I hope that hope that whittle's down the bet
there to a better understanding. You're listening to KF I am sixty on demand,
Suzanne, Welcome to Jesus Christ Show. Hi Jesus Either. I have
a life situation that's lasted about thirty eight years now, and you'd think by
now that I would have learned how to handle it better. I still find
myself being drawn into the drama of it all, and I just find it
really unhealthy to do that. I have trouble knowing at this point in time
where my role starts and stops, and it's regarding my youngest daughter, who
was born ill, and she there was three other kids older than her and
she from the time she was born, it was in the hospital, out
of the hospital, you know, over and over again. My other kids
went to babysitters. Every the drama always happened and then revolved around her.
As she got older, she got into drugs. Even with her she had
liver transplants and even with her her meds, and she got on drugs,
and then all the resources get sent to help her, you know, she's
like eighteen, gets off, you know, to get off of that,
and then she decides to have a child, never been married. When the
child, my oldest granddaughter was fifteen, she was on her way to Juvie
Hall and brought her here into this house and she did graduate. She's doing
really well. Now she's nineteen. And during the time when I first had
my daughter, sorry, my granddaughter here, within a year and a half
she's living in another state. My daughter is and has another child. And
it's it's you know, it's I just get so angry. And at this
point in time, she is still now like starting over six four six spoons,
six knives and eating on the kitchen floor, and and you know,
I still think, oh, if I did this, if I did that,
you know, but I can't do it anymore. And it exhausts me.
You know, it's like, oh, she needs the computer. Well,
you know, I've done a computer before. I know what happened to
that computer. You know what I'm saying. It's and and so I find
myself like talking to my husband and saying, oh, this happened with her,
and um, and I find myself talking for an hour and a half
it's a perfectly good night and and everything's fine, and I'm involved in her
drama and you know, and then also I get accused of being guilty like
um sometimes not very often, but my granddaughter, who is doing very well
now, and she finds that I put up a boundary and she says,
she says, Grandma, that's not that's not very nice. That's you're being
selfish. And you know I'm not anyway, I would just like hear from
you, you know, number one, where what is expected of me at
this point in time and what I should And also when I pray for her,
what should my purse sound like? Well, you can't. You can't
live life for someone. They're not a puppet, they're a human being,
and you're you raise them. This this is what you raised. This is
the result of both what you and your husband have done. And then the
free will of the individual and what they want to do with that information.
They can either use it as you've seen. You've seen those that that you've
raised and um that have taken that information and done good with it, and
there's others that that didn't. But as far as living for them or trying
to, you know, correct every mistake, I want you to get the
picture. You know the concept of teaching a child to ride a bike,
and you see the parent holding onto the back of the seat, running alongside
and then eventually they let go. Well, what you've done, essentially is
stayed holding onto the back of that seat running alongside. It's it's never going
to work. It can't work. The child will never ever learn, even
at thirty nine, how to be on their own. And you can't pick
up all the pieces. You have to allow whatever consequences to come her way
come her away. But you just you can't overparent somebody. And to a
lot of extent, I've done that. I mean, she's been in homeless
shelters, she's you know, I've held back, but it's I don't know,
I I just sometimes I'll get so angry, you know, like she'll
call me about about something that's happened, or that something's happened with a job
or whatever. And I, you know, I've said to her, I
can't own your problems. I cannot own your problems, you know. And
and to that extent I've been able to I mean, I've been able to
not give her with money and let her be in the homeless shelters and let
her fu way out. What do you think the problem is? Why?
What do you think she was unable to use the you know, the tools
you gave her. My my feeling is that when she was sick, when
she was little, she was very blue. And she went a couple of
years being blue, and and she developed a shunt. I really think there's
a mental deficit. I believe that she is and has these mental deficits.
She can't critically think. Well, when you say she was blue, was
she depressed and deprived oxygen? Oh, you're saying she had a shunt,
a shunt that took blood away from her lungs and because of her liver problems,
and it developed over a couple of years where she's only like oxygen,
eating a couple like half of her blood. So you think she's she's got
has issues, she has special needs that I think, but she refuses,
you know, she says chills when I say, you know, I really
like complete psychiatric testing, just to complete get it done, you know.
And she's old enough for I can't drank her, you know, and um
and I just I said, I really think that if you do this,
she could go on, um, you know, get some some sort of
assistance. I mean, she's got every kind of assistance now in the world,
but really maybe long term disability. And that she refused it. She
says, you just think I'm retarded, Lulu luluah, you know, And
so she resists that too. But that's if she's impulsive and she can she
can learn, like like read, go through a natomy book, get an
and the test, but when it comes to deciding if she has enough money
to last from here to there, she can't do it. But she's never
she's never formally been diagnosed with anything. Um, well, her liver disease
and then she had thyroid cancer, and you know, she's she's just she's
had a rough go of it. Yeah, and that's I think that's part
of it. And so you know, it's like still the drama. It's
like all my other kids go yeah, yeah, yeah, we know,
we know what's new, you know, because they always know it's something about
her what's going on. And that's why part of it is the illness thing.
But I can't do anything about it. I mean, she takes her
medicine. I don't know. I coulies some wisdom. Well, all families
have someone who get needs more attention. Now, the physical things, the
stuff that's physiologically going on with her is a little different. That's things that
she couldn't necessarily control, and that as a parent, there is needs there
that you should be there for. That's just the way things work. However,
if she wants anything from you, there's nothing wrong for you, Suzanne,
to put your contingencies on it. Say I can't do this anymore.
I'm limited in what I can do. But what I will do is if
you're willing to go and have a full psychiatric work up, if we can
look and see if there's anything else that we're missing that might help you remain
focused or whatever it is. Then if you're willing to do that, then
I'm willing to help you to this point. If not, then I'm not
going to You don't have to do all the lifting for her. In other
words, really it should be a beautiful combination of your strength in hers when
you're helping anybody, actually, and if it's not, if you're doing all
the lifting, you don't need to do that. Helping somebody is helping them
that partial way, that little bit over that they can't do on their own.
Maybe, but you can't do it all for her. So you have
to make it very clear. Listen, I'm happy to help, but these
are the rules. So when you set boundaries, you may see them as
just shutting her off or saying I won't do this, And maybe that's the
thing that's making it difficult for you. So what I want you to do
is modify those boundaries with contingencies. Sure, it's not no, because it's
yes. If you know the difference, you hear that very clear. So
that's what I want you to think about. It's not no because I'm not
doing this anymore. It's yes, I'll be happy to if you get this
diagnosed or done. So that's the new rule for you. Can you think
you can imply that? I think so, yeah, that's helpful. I
think you can too. And you just go in peace and just pray for
strength. That's what you need to pray for strength for you to be able
to help her. You're listening to kf I am sixty on demand. Helping
People, Helping loved ones, Helping family. I want you to visualize certain
things. If they were doing something that harmed them, it's very easy.
If they said, you know, hold my arm while I cut these markings
into it with this knife, you wouldn't do it. And you look at
these things, and in some situations, it's just so easy. It's simple.
You can see it right in front of you. No, I don't
want to participate in helping them do that. But unfortunately life is a little
more nuanced than that, and that means that people will ask for help to
harm themselves in different ways that are more difficult to discern that they're actually harmful.
And that's where you have to make decisions that might be uncomfortable or difficult,
especially especially as a parent, that you have to look at what someone's
doing to themselves, doing to their family, whatever it might be, and
take a strong stance. And it won't feel great. It may make you
uncomfortable, it may make you sad. It may make you feel like you're
abandoning the individual, but it's not the case. That is not the case
because you have to set certain boundaries to help people grow and or establish new
habits that are better for them than the habits they're practicing currently. It's not
going to be easy, but it will be worth it if you can help
teach somebody something. You have to stay strong when you get to that point
of enabling somebody or being that that person who's just saying yes. You'd be
surprised how similar it is to saying yes to helping them cut themselves with a
knife. Deb Welcome to the Jesus Christ Show. Good morning, Jesus.
Hi. I have just a couple of minutes here. How can I help
you? Well, thank you for taking my call. My question is after
the resurrection, because you were in bodily forms while you were on earth,
did you regain your attributes? That's an interesting question. The omni attributes are
not separate in the same way that you might think that the question. As
we've said on the show many times, any question you ask of me,
you have to ask twice or it has to be answered twice, because really
asked to deal with in my human state or as deity. So it gets
a little confusing. But obviously as you have the omni attributes, omnipotence,
omniscience, omnipresent, all of those things. It's I couldn't be omnipresent in
the flesh, can't be everywhere at once when I'm in the flesh. But
as far as the omni attributes being with me, they're always with me,
always capable of them. But in the physicalness, in that state, those
omni attributes are not enacted in the same way. So they never laughed,
and they weren't they weren't granted or taken away or something like that. It's
just the usage of them is different in the flesh. So and also in
the flesh, even omniscience are knowing everything. These types of things you're they
manifest different, but absolutely had them after the resurrection, before the resurrection,
just in different states. They're not They're not used the same way. So
imagine yourself to be Oh, let's say this is going to be a little
a little crasp, but imagine yourself being handcuffed or something or somehow limited in
some way. You still have those attributes, the ability to use your hands,
you don't have the ability to use them in the same way in the
same sense at the same time. And similarly, there are bindings that change
those in the physical state, but they're always there, always had access to
them and could do it at any time or anything like that, so they
never went away and then came back. The omni attributes are actually a very
interesting thing to study because you're really dealing with God coming in the flesh,
and the flesh has limitations, has limitations with death and decay as well.
It gets old, it gets sick, and all of these things. So
the physical body is not perfect in any way, shape or form. No
resurrected body is a glorified body, and that's a little different as well.
But in the physical state, when I'm in that physical state, there are
limitations in that state, but they aren't limitations to me. There are limitations
in that state. It's the state which has the limitations, not me,
And I know that gets confusing, but you have to see them as as
separate things. You can't run when you're in a car, but you can
still run. You just can't while you're in the car. You'd have to
get out of the car to run, and in that sense, in the
physical body, there are limitations on that body, not on me. On
that body and in that body, those things aren't necessarily done, but they
could be done at any time by removing that coil, should it be necessary.
Kf I demand
