Speaker 1: Welcome to the Three Stories version of the Todd Hermer Show.
Story number one Newark Mayor Ross Baraka sounds like Barack
Obama a lot pretend Jesus wants violence. Story number two
Pope Leo sees the big spiritual picture of big atheist tech.
And story number three One Simple Question resets a super
respectful debate on God's view of same sex marriage. We'll
talk about all of this with the help of Bisible.
If you're a smaller medium sized business owner and you
don't have real corporate credit, you are missing out on
benefits and putting yourself at risk. They'll solve this for
you in seven easy steps. Go to their website gobisible
dot com and thank you as always to God Almighty.
Speaker 2: But Todd Herman Show is one disapproved by big pharma
technocrats and Tyrn's everywhere from the hind mountains of Free
and Mayor, here's the Emerald City exile, Todd to Herman.
Speaker 1: Today is the day the Lord has made in These
are the times to which God has decided we shall
live through President Trump. God has done some unbelievably amazing things,
some of them very subtle, some of them unnoticed. President
Trump just this week. It's no last week. President Trump
assigned an executive order to address the overincarceration problem, and
he is perfectly within grounds of the Constitution to do this.
It has to do with the bureaucratic agencies that operate
under the executive branch inventing some forty nine thousand crimes,
many of which don't even require you to meant to
have committed a crime, that phrased ignorance of the laws.
No excuse in this case. This is literally people who
didn't The last thing they wanted to do was commit
a crime. It wasn't on their mind. There was no
intent zero. The bureaucratic agencies gave themselves the right to
not have to prove there was any form of intent.
President Trump, with the stroke of an executive pen and
in this case, a real pen, not an autopen he
changed all that no one noticed. And for years we
talked about the overincarceration problem with black men. Now there
are many people who would say, well, there's an underincarceration
problem with people who are too violent. President Trump got
no credit on that. Through God or through President Trump,
God has shown us the unbelievable cancer of racism masquerading
as anti racism. And if you doubt that this is
a spiritual coun cancer, just remember that God created humanity.
God created us in his image, male and female. He
created us, he has called us his masterpiece. He has
pursued us. He bought Christians with the blood of his son,
brought us back from bondage with the blood of his son.
So he values humanity, all of it. In the body
of Christ, there are no races, there are no divisions
in the body of Christ. There's just the body. So
through President Trump, the mockingbird media and other organizations have
been forced to surface who they are. The mayor of
Newark will get to this guy. He gave an unbelievably raced, dividing,
race baiting speech. E's even kind of hard to watch.
We'll get to part of that, or maybe even all
of it, but let's start here. The Episcopal Church in
the United States is out of the refugee business. They've
been one of these organizations that's been working through USAID
type dollars to settle refugees in the country, refugees who
increasingly weren't refugee. Well, at least we didn't know if
there were refugees because there was no interview process, there
was no review process. There was an app put your
name in, come across the border. We'll seecret you across
the border. We'll give you twenty five hundred, maybe five
grand a month. Some states will give you ten thousand
dollars cash to move there. Because we want you there,
and we're not going to tell the states that don't
want you there. We're not going to tell you them
that you're there. You get benefit after benefit. You're going
to change the electoral college. You're going to change the
demographics of the country.
Speaker 3: And the.
Speaker 1: Project Veritas proved this. People the State Department said, yeah,
that was the thing. It was a drive to change
the demography of the country. So the Episcopal Church is
out of the refugee business. So it's because they had
an attack of conscience, saying wait, wait, wait, wait, this
is lying. This isn't about helping refugees. This is about
changing America. This is about changing the electoral college. This
is about changing the demography. This is about making America
a Marxist MAOIs country. Nope, because white folks, the Episcopal
Church refuses to resettle Africaners and ends participation with the
US government in light of our church's steadfast commitment to
racial justice and reconciliation, and our historic ties to the
Anglican Church of South Africa, we're not able to take
this step, the Presiding Bishop of the Episcopal Church said
in a letter. This is from Religious News Service. They
describe it this way, a striking move that ends in
nearly four decade old relationship between the federal government and
the Episcopal Church. The Nomination announced on Monday May twelfth
that it's terminating its partnership with the government to resettle refugees,
citing moral opposition to resettling white Africaners from South Africa
who've been classified as refugees by President Donald Trump's administration.
They have outed themselves, Hey, hey, hey, the black africaners
need their chance at revenge. They need to take more
swift actions to un alive people. They need their chance
at revenge. That's the subtext to this. In a letter
sent to the members of the church, the Most Reverend
Sean Wreau, the Presiding Bishop of the Episcopal Church, said
that two weeks ago, the government informed episcopal migration ministries that,
under the terms of a federal grant, were expected to
resettle africaners with South Africa from South Africa Africa whom
the US government has classified as refugees. That request, Roe
said crossed a moral line for the episcopal churches. It's
part of the global Anglican communion that boast among its
leadership the late art Archbishop Desmond Tutu, a celebrated and
vocal opponent of apartheid in South Africa. So getting people
out of the way of being unlive by terrorists makes
them feel morally icky, because that's what Jesus said. Jesus said, Hey, listen,
if someone did you dirty, get all the revenge you
can on earth, and let gang go get that revenge
on your behalf. That's I forget what part of the
Bible that's from. It's from the same part of the
Bible where Jesus didn't speak of sexuality. In other words,
it's not from the Bible. Details like this they matter.
And so I want to look at this from a
couple different perspectives. One is from a so called secular
perspective or just the facts. The other is from a
spiritual perspective. And all things are spiritual. And to do
that in just a quick second, here a reminder that
I do everything I can at my age to continue
to do things I love. I'm very fortunate to do
this for a living. There are no IDs in here.
I'm not being shot at today. I have been hit
while broadcasting. Someone hit me in the back of the
head with the two by four ones, but that was
at a station with no security, and here we've got
guard dogs in a moat, et cetera. But if you
try to keep myself healthy, one of the things I do,
of course is CrossFit and water, a whole bunch of water,
a whole bunch of protein. I monitor all my caunteries
and from time to time I go get refreshed on
something that our bodies run out of. Okay, we run
out of stem cells. I mean we don't run out,
but our stem cells die, they age, they become less potent.
That slows down our ability to recover and specifically from
some injuries. Now, I was building up into a pretty
significant back problem, and I went down to renew couple
weeks ago. It was about five weeks ago, and I
had stem cells from umbilical cords put into my L
two to L three at L four disks down there.
Already the inflammation is gone. It was gone very quickly.
Now my body has shifted into the rebuilding of tissue mode.
One of my discs was half the size it's supposed
to be, so when I lifted heavy deadlifts or heavy squats,
there was a clicking sound, then a clicking feeling, and
it felt like my back was shifting, and that ain't good.
The doctor who did the injections for me described that
as that disc grows back, I'm not going to have
that clicking feeling or that backshifting feeling because it will
once again be supporting its weight. That didn't require surgery.
I would just loathe back surgery because they fail so often.
So whether it's your back or you're being told you
have a sort of arthritis that cannot be addressed with
anything else, often that is untrue. The medical world in
America just doesn't want you to know it. So go
have these guys take a look at your case. It's
renew r E n U E dot healthcare, neurological issues,
grip issues. They've even saved people's lives from heart attacks.
Renew R E n U E dot Healthcare. Please do
tell them you're part of the Todd Hermannshaw family. I said,
I get back to this and I am this is
from Newsweek, which is of course a very right wing organization.
Oh wait, so no they're not. But I love how
they frame this. Here's the headline of white farmers is
unalived every five days in South Africa and authorities do
nothing about its, activists say. Activists say South African authorities
are tacitly approving oft in the country's white farmers, with
one being unlived every five days and the police turning
a blind eye to the violence. A white nationalist lobbying
group Airforum, and I'll just take that to not be true.
Maybe they're white nationalists, but that phrase means nothing courtesy
of organizations like Newsweek. The white nationalists login group. After
Forum says that when lawmakers passed a motion last month
which could see land seeds from farmers without compensation, it
set a message that landowners could be attacked with impunity.
It said there have been one hundred and nine recorded
attacks so far in twenty eighteen. Since twenty eighteen and
fifteen farm unalivings, meaning that in that year one farmer
had been unlived every five days. In a statement, Ean
Camera anti Forums or our forums head of safety said,
our rural areas are trapped in a crime war. Although
South African government denies a violence crisis exists, it's starting
rural areas in the face, staring at rurals errors in
the face. The numbers prove that excessive violence plagues these areas.
And incidentally, it's not just Newsweek. There are videos out
of this. I talked to a guy, had dinner with
a guy whose parents still live in South Africa. He
was raised there, and he was talking about this violence
and how the major cities there have become dystopian war zones.
So people are fleeing. But you have the Episcopal Church saying, oh,
we can't help the whites. This is politics, this is faith.
If you look at this from a faith perspective, they
already lost the Episcopal Church. Jesus Christ said to come
all who are weary, and he would provide rest. Now
he meant spiritual rest. But in the body of Christ
there's neither gentile nor jew, servant nor master. We are
to help people in these circumstances. And what the Biden
people did was they destroyed the very meaning of the
word refugee. When they destroyed it they made possible things
like the destruction of the American political system that had
been the home for refugees. We're five percent of the
world's population. We've taken in twenty percent of their displaced people.
And yet racism in this country is now being surfaced
because of what President Trump has done and God acting
through President Trump. This is the Newark mayor. His name
is Ross Baraka, and I'm not kidding that sounds like
Barack Obama. Ross Barack Obama. And he gave a speech
that sounds almost like a racist power speech or maybe
black nationalism.
Speaker 3: And who said, what are we gonna do now that
they've been.
Speaker 4: Black history from schools in certain parts of the country.
I said, We're gonna do what we always did. We're
gonna teach our own damn selves black history. Fum around
with our heads down, our lips poked out like somebody
doing something else. The people who are doing it till
you ain't apologized to you yet. You taking it out
on your brothers out here, your sister's out here in
this community, and your real enemies get away, Scott free.
You out here protesting nact of a food to folks
in here, and your real enemies get away scott free.
You don't never say anything to them because you don't
got no courage to do that.
Speaker 1: Oh, by the way, just so we're all clear, he's
speaking at say of religious events.
Speaker 4: I gotta pray every single day, every single day, for patients,
for patients, to deal with the nick gargle ness. My
skin is vulnerable. That means that people can do to
me what they don't do to other people.
Speaker 1: He's the mayor of Newark, one of the biggest cities
on the East Coast, and his skin makes him vulnerable.
People can do to him what they don't do to
other folk, and I.
Speaker 3: Gotta take it.
Speaker 4: So I gotta pray before I leave out the house
to have the strength to take abuse, take abuse from
people that I know.
Speaker 1: Oh, I say religious mayor's men's breakfast meeting. How could
I think it's religious? Because he continues to invoke God's
word into this, into this racial screed.
Speaker 5: If the cameras wasn't going and we was in a
room by a damn snaw, I tell the kids this,
But what about the leaders?
Speaker 3: Could you imagine if we really was together.
Speaker 1: So now it goes through the part where he.
Speaker 3: Gets peace organizations inside really was together. Could you imagine
all of the blocks and the hoods, you.
Speaker 4: Know how y'all walk up, hoodie on hat down tight,
you walk.
Speaker 3: Up like that.
Speaker 4: A group of you was ten of y'all, they already nervous, fifteen.
Imagine if it was two hundred and fifty. Imagine if
it was a thousand of you from every block in
the city looking like that, walk up into a port
of thar the board meeting and sit down quietly together
with no with.
Speaker 3: No disruption or discussion or foolishness, just sit down.
Speaker 4: And one person got up and said, we need jobs.
Speaker 3: We don't want just affordable housing. We want contracts. Bunch,
I want some contracts.
Speaker 1: See, that's all reasonable. The New York the mayor of NewYork.
This all now, now he's doing the reasonable thing. We
just want jobs. But here's how we pulled up and
he gets back.
Speaker 3: To contracts, then you won't need no affordable housing. We
want some contracts.
Speaker 4: We want we want those hot hand jobs they got
down at the port and all the other places like that.
Speaker 3: We want all of that, and we prepared to take them. Good.
But you're supposed to get this stuff is for you.
It's yours.
Speaker 4: It was for you before you came out your mother's moon.
It was creating the buttons is yours. It belongs to you.
You just don't know it. That's why you let other
people take it. All of it is yours. The whole
city is yours.
Speaker 1: Take it. It's yours. That's the mayor of Newark, whose
skin makes him vulnerable because people can do to him
what they don't to other people. And if you don't
think this stuff spreads. A woman named Boyce Chimetra Lee
is studied to be a registered nurse. And this is
from Elizabeth TikTok. This is something she wrote on social media. Wow,
all you clear specimens are excited? Just know are randomly
off your kind regularly in the hospital. Simple problem solved.
Enjoy clear specimens. What does that mean? Oh, it's just
code word for white people. Clear specimens, you know, being
all racially understanding and such. And Jesus wept, am I
being orally dramatic? Nope, wasn't supposed to be this way.
When we decided to go our own way instead of God,
sin entered the world and we ended up in this
position with a racist mayor giving a racist speech and
a racist so called church, the Episcopal Church deciding it
does not have the moral capability to settle white people
who are at risk of being unalived in their country
where we actually have done the research and the Trump
administration did something very very smart here. They actually had
these people ready to speak to the media, ready to
share their backgrounds. The sole objection the Episcopal Church had
to this was that these people have low melanin counts.
They have no information to show that these people ever
back to apartheid, ever did anything to black people in South Africa.
They've got none of that. They simply have a color
to which they object. The Episcopal Church does not serve Jesus.
They do not serve the Lord. And the mayor of
Newark is not a peacekeeper. It's not a surprise then.
He's one of the guys who is trying to force
his way into a federal facility, a mayor with no
oversight over federal facilities. Thank you God for using President
Trump to show us how much of our society has
fallen into the cancer the sin of racism. Story number two.
Pope Leo, He's obviously going to be someone who has
ups and downs, and we agree with him or disagree
on this or that topic. He's, after all, human being.
Pope Leo seems to be more reasonable on immigration. He
is not the hardliner that Pope Francis was. And Pope
Francis was a pure heretic when it came to issues
of sexuality, absolute heretic. It doesn't seem that this Pope is.
This Pope seems far more reasonable on that. He seems
far more attached to the Bible on that. But he's
something else. He seems to have a passion for understanding
what the digital world can do and is doing to
human beings. And he's worried about things like AI, and
I think for good reason. Pope Leo has warned that
AI may threaten human dignity and has urged the Catholic
Church to respond with ethnical clarity and protect the vulnerable
in a digital world. And the vulnerable do need protection?
And who are the vulnerable? Now? Very often people will
think of the vulnerable in terms of kids who are
being victimized digitally. That's true. That happens. It's disgusting, and
it happens. It's continuing to happen. There's gangs of people
who go and approach kids and convince him to do things,
and then they end up black man and kids. And
I hope parents know this. But there are other people
who are deeply vulnerable. There are lonely people who are vulnerable.
There are lonely people who are using AI to not
be lonely, except it has the same exact effect on
loneliness that going to a strip club has on being
romantically lonely or sexually lonely. It makes it worse. An
organization that shocking these shocks me that they looked into this,
Rolling Stone looked into this, looked into people who are
losing loved ones to AI fueled spiritual fantasies. They say,
many unwell people are being gas lit by chatbots to
believe complete spiritual fantasies. So we'll talk about that in
the second because it's obviously a clearly, clearly corrupt idea.
But there's a whole bunch of fantasies people falling for.
I have friends who are into what I think is
an economic fantasy, and that is that Buy and Hold
is going to continue to work to build for our retirements.
And I have dear friends I deeply love who believe this.
I think there was a time where that made sense.
But when our stock market became untethered to reality, think
that no longer made any sense. And when we have
a cultural disruptor as president of United States, and praise
God that he is doing things that people have been
afraid to do for decades, multiple decades, fifty sixty years,
such as restructuring our trade relationship with China. How exactly
does buy and hold help you take advantage of things
like that? Massive shifts in the global economy. I don't
get it. My friend Zach Abraham is putting on a
free live webinar Thursday May twenty second, at three thirty Pacific,
and he's going to look at tariffs. It's the teriff
edition of the free live webinar. The remaking of our
deal with the UK, the remaking of our deal with China,
the remaking of prescription doug prices. President Trump shouldn't have
that power, but Congress gave it to him through Medicare,
so Plan B changes, the complexion of our relationship with
Big Pharma, who I don't think as our friend anyway.
All these things are seismic shifts. If you're five, ten,
even fifteen years from retirement. You have to be able
to take advantage of this with as little risk as possible,
and that is Zach's obsession, risk management. He achieves that
by managing every portfolio actively, which can reduce risk and volatility.
So if you're close to retirement five, ten or fifteen years,
you have to attend this if you can possibly get there. Thursday,

Past performance doesn't guarantee future results Truck twenty five. That's
two zero six. Rolling Stone magazine wrote an article about
people who are falling victim to spiritual fantasias of AI.
On this program, we've covered people who fallen victim to
sexual fantasias AI. We've covered AI telling vulnerable kids that
underliving yourself is a viable option. Less than a year
after marrying a man she'd met at the beginning of
the so called COVID nineteen pandemic, cat felt tension mounting
between them. It was his second marriage for both, after
marriages of fifteen plus years and having kids. They'd pledged
to go into it completely level headedly, Kat says, connecting
on the need for facts and rationality in their domestic ballots.
But by twenty twenty two, her husband was using AI
to compose text to me and analyze our relationship. The
forty one year old mom and education nonprofit worker tells
Rolling Stone. Previously, he'd used AI models for an expensive
coding camp that he'd suddenly quit working without explanation. Then
it seemed he was on his phone all the time
asking AI, bought philosophical questions, trying to train it to
help him get to the truth. Cat recalls his obsessions
steadily eroded their communication as a couple. When Cat and
her husband separated in August of twenty twenty three, she
entirely blocked him apart from email correspondents. She knew, however,
that he was posting strange and troubling content on social media.
People kept reaching out about it, asking if he was
in the throes of a mental crisis. She finally got
him to meet her at a courthouse this past February,
where he shared a conspiracy theory about soap on her foods,
but wouldn't say more as he felt he was being watched.
They went to a Chipotle, where he demanded that she
turn off her phone again due to surveillance concerns. Cas
X told her that he determined that statistically speaking, he's
the luckiest man on earth, and that AI helped him
recover a repressed memory of a babysitter trying to drown
him as a toddler. That he'd learned profound secrets so
mind blowing I couldn't even imagine them. He was telling
her all this, he explained, because he thought they were
getting divorced. He still cared for even though they were
getting divorced. And the article continues down rabbit hole after
rabbit hole of people who've taken to asking questions of software,
as if software can lead them to a truth. Software
that is simply aggregating massive amounts of website information and
bring it about in supposed intelligence, But there's no intelligence.
There's algorithms that create word salads that make sense that
can be read and understood, but there is no intent
behind them other than amalgamating information. Other than painting a
pastiche of ideas. There's no thought in this. It's so
fascinating to me that a guy like this would turn
to AI when the world has studied religions from time immemorial,
and there is one religion and one book that has
proven itself archaeologically sound, historically sound, and that's the Bible.
It's proven itself time and again. It is axiomatic that
people who set out to destroy the Bible end up
believing it when they look at it first. Archaeologically, well,
none of these places existed. Whoops, the historical timeline's off. Whoops,
there's no sign that Jesus Christ actually existed. Oh I'm sorry.
Here's fifteen twenty sources that are non Christian who wrote
about him existing. There are people who hated him, who
said he was the devil and that's how he performed
miracles through the devil. They admit he performed miracles, but
they claim it was through the devil. But this man's
turns to AI and the pope being hip to this
is a great sign to me. If God does place popes,
and he places all people in authority, if people have
been given authorities because God has seen to it that
they belong there at that time. Even sometimes when there
are people who are negative in authority. We had four
years of no authority in the United States and it showed
us something. The bureaucracy can run itself and it doesn't
care for us. Pope Francis seems oh, pardon me, Pope Leo.
It seems to be the Pope at this time that
we need to confront these things. And by the way,
it's not all bad news. I find this fascinating. Now
I've been able to confirm this. But this is a
guy who follows a lot of AI knew who's in
chat GPT news, posted this. Apparently the new chat be team,
a chat GPT model, is obsessed with the immaculate conception
of Mary. There's a whole team inside Open Eye frantically
trying to figure it out. I forgot why. A huge
development effort to stop it from talking about it's in production.
Nobody here says why it's getting more and more intense.
Now I'm not here to say that. Now I said
they believe it's intelligent. I don't. But what if as
it compares faith to faith to faith, archaeological facts, historical facts,
the contemporous contemporaneous writings about Jesus, people who did not
agree with Christianity, who thought it was false, who thought
it was fake writing.
Speaker 6: About you, had people writing to the Emperor saying to him,
these people will not stop affirming Jesus Christ, even when
we threaten to unlive them in terrible ways, they won't stop.
Speaker 1: What's with this cult? Why won't they stop? It's because
they spoke the truth. And I think this pope at
this time, maybe that's why God selected him. Story number three.
In One Simple Question, a young woman reset for a
moment a debate on God's view of human sexuality, and
specifically same sex unions, or some people would call marriages.
I hate this topic. I hate it because it's hurtful.
It's hurtful to people I love. I hate it for
that reason, and I hate having to talk about it
because it can be hurtful, and we're required to talk
about it because it can meritful. It can be eternally hurtful,
and it's something that requires great thought and respect. And
to enter into this without a loving heart, you could
do harm to yourself. You could do harm to being
an ambassador of Christ and So I want to enter
endo this with love, and I want to start with this.
How refreshing to see a respectful debate. It's a time debate,
so you have just a short period of time to
get across your ideas. And a young woman is debating
a young man and they're talking about same sex attractions,
same sex activity, and a certain point in this debate,
she asks him a question about human biology and physiology
and damage to the human body, and it freezes the
debate for a moment. And incidentally, this is going to
bother some people. Let's enter into this with love. Let's
enter in this with the goal of speaking truth wrapped
in grace. Let's enter into this realizing that we too
fall short of the glory of God. Every single person
watching this.
Speaker 7: So, I'm assuming from everything you're telling me that you
think that God is okay with you practicing sodomy with
other men.
Speaker 8: I am saying that God always acts in accordance with love,
and misodomy that was written about in the Bible has
nothing to do with loving queer and trans relationships because
there was no frame of reference for the phrases. Who
created it is imperfect? God's word is perfect. God would
support queer and trans existence. Do you want to talk
about why it's also anti American?
Speaker 7: You don't think that sodomy existed two thousand years ago.
Speaker 8: I do think it existed two thousand years ago, thank God.
And the word that it was written about in the
Bible was about hateful, unconsensual, pedophilic, ritualistic acts of sodomy.
There have been healthy queer and trans relationships all throughout
the history, and they were not included in the Bible,
the same way women's rights were not included in the Bible.
God did not intend us to treat that like a
law that we never move on from. He entreated us
to use it like a way to learn love and
practice it better. It is not an instruction manual. It
is one tool that we can use to live.
Speaker 7: You do think, But to clarify, so, you do think
that God is okay with your having sex with other men?
Speaker 1: Yes, okay.
Speaker 7: So I think that your definition of love is basically
what feels good for you and also being nice to
other people.
Speaker 8: I think love is more complicated than that. For example,
you can have a sexual relationship with someone that you
might not love, whereas love is a deeper emotion of care.
Speaker 7: But basically it's just like this like fluffy feeling of
like oh like I like you, I'm treating you well whatever.
I think that love is willing the good of another place.
You can you can have consensual sex with someone and
that's not loving them, because participating in homosexual acts is
inherently not loving because it's damaging.
Speaker 1: They're not inherently damaged, natural damaging.
Speaker 8: It doesn't violent natural. They're over one thousand even to
have queer relationships.
Speaker 7: God literally designed. I don't know God literally designed.
Speaker 1: Know God's vision.
Speaker 8: Let's not pretend to Gods of.
Speaker 7: Men have sex with other men one or more times
a week have problems where they are not able to
control their.
Speaker 1: Bawel movements because when do you well why.
Speaker 7: If it's healthy, if it's perfectly healthy, and you know
that medical fact, that doesn't that I hate you. It
means I don't want you doing something that's not natural
and it's not healthy and it's not good for you.
There's a reason why gay women can't reproduce.
Speaker 8: A reproduction is not an essential factor of love.
Speaker 1: It's uncomfortable, and let's admit it's uncomfortable. And the young
man had good reason to feel uncomfortable, maybe because no
one's ever said that to him. And now turning two
tech turning to Google, which is cousins with the YouTube
company turning to them as a source. This is Google
as a source searching Google anal sex incontinent and I
have safe search on. This is from Google, cousin company
to YouTube. They chose this and they pulled this quote out.
This is a poll quote pulled out by Google's algorithm.
Women and men who practice intercourse anal intercourse have higher
rates of fecal incontinent. Men who practiced anal intercourse had
higher odds of having fecal incontinence than women. Assessments of
sexual behaviors may be important consideration among adults with fecal incontinence.
And there's a whole series of articles that follow Google's algorithm.
So in point of fact, this does cause damage in
point of fact. And something else that young man said,
though though to me, is far more interesting, is he
talked about love being a hard act. The Bible describes
love as a series of decisions to be charitable, to
not keep lists of grievances, to not be angry or proud,
to be gentle, and kind. These are hard actions, they're
not feelings. He also said that God always acts in love,
therefore he's always going to affirm. There are plenty of
behaviors that God does not affirm. But what about his
charge that there are no models of same sex relationships
from that time that weren't predatory or that weren't compulsory.
So let's look at that, because it used to be
that the objection was that well, same sex activity wasn't
address in the Bible, and Jesus never talked about it.
So we'll talk about this in a second. There's a
phrase that cleanliness is next to godliness, and that's true
because our bodies are not our own. They're bought with
the price. The Lord purchased our bodies with the blood
of his son, which is why he'd like us to
treat our bodies with respect. When you accept the Lord,
Jesus is your lord and savior, you're greed to be
changed by him and walk with him. You also are
given the Holy Spirit stored in your body, the Kingdom
of Heaven within your body. So we keep the temple
clean so you could be physically clean. Buying soap from
company that make it in China with slave labor. That's
probably going to make you physically clean. You're probably putting
a bunch of chemicals on your body, a bunch of
things that probably doesn't belong there. You're using a product
that was again perhaps made by slave labor. But your
body's clean. How about your soul. On the farther end
of the spectrum, there's Alan Soaps. You use this, you
will be clean, free of chemicals. By the way, all
the ingredients are all natural, So you're putting on your
body to cleanse it something that actually cleanses your body
without chemicals. That's absolutely not made with slave labor. It's
made by a family who chooses this as a profession.
They've chosen this for three generations. And the soap itself
is designed by a young man named Allan. He is fourteen.
He's been through eighteen operations. He's effectively nonverbal through autism.
He's probably going to go through more operations because he
was born unique. His brother Ian is also affected by
autism and he now works there. There's Ian's Blood, which
is a liquid soap. Amy works there. Amy got autism
late in life. She does social media for them. Alan
does packaging, quality control in vent soap ian does his thing.
We want to employ more young people like this. That's
the purpose of this company. World class soap, all natural
made in America and employing people that the rest of
the world would say are unemployable. Go to Alansaps dot

The BBC looked into same sex relationships in Greece in
early Greece and Rome as early as the eighth century BC.
The ancient lawmaker Felawless of Corinth, who himself had a
male lover, created laws and support of same sex male unions.
By the seventh century BC, there were at least five
different varieties same sex relations in ancient Greece. The Sacred
Band of Thebes was an elite military unit comprised of
three hundred male lovers in the fourth century BC who
courageously ended Spartan domination, and millennia after, writers and philosophers
such as Plato were busy contemplating same sex love. Many
vessels and statues on display in museums and sites illustrate
aspects of homosexuality in ancient Greece. Incidently, for the researchers
as looking at this, there was in fact philosophers, and
it was a strong, pronounced branch of philosophy at the
time prior to Jesus, who considered the sexual acts, sexual union,
the love, if you will, between a man and a boy,
to be the ultimate, and male male love to be
superior to that between men and women. In fact, there
were philosophers who believe that men couldn't love women because
women were so subservient. When the Lord Jesus came on
the scene, he changed a lot of things. One of
them was he became notorious for having women in his
inner circle. He revealed himself as Messiah to the woman
at the well. It was scandalous. First of all, she
was a Samaritan, meaning mixed race. Jewish people were supposed
to really dislike, if not hate, Samaritan, and Samaritans were
supposed to really dislike, if not hate, Jewish people. She
was a woman alone at the well. He was a
rabbi and a man and a Jewish man, and he
was not to go to speak to her. And yet
he did, and he honored her by revealing to that
woman who was living in a state of rebellion against God,
that he was a messiah. If that doesn't elevate womanhood,
I don't know what does. Jesus modeled respect for women,
and Christianity changed how women were treated. So this young
man said that none of this matches up to the Bible. Well,
we've already proven, at least if you believe the BBC's account,
and they're not ideologically inclined to lie in favor of Christianity.
He said, though, that none of this is biblical. This
is the part that's really hard for people, particularly for
people like me, who when I speak this, I know
there are people I love who've heard programs like this
and have become hurt. And yet, how good a Christian
would I be if I chose not to speak this
because I might hurt feelings. I'm concerned about people's eternities.
Matthew Chapter nineteen, verses five through six. For this reason,
a man will leave his father and mother and be
united with his wife, and the two will become one flesh.
So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore,
what God has joined together, let no one separate. He
didn't say two individuals. He could have He could have
said two people. For this reason, a man believe his
family and be united with a partner. That is not
what you ess said. And the Lord spoke purposely and intentionally.
First Corinthians, Chapter five, verse one. It is actually reported
there is sexual immorality among you, and a kind that
even the Pagans do not tolerate. A man is sleeping
with his father's wife. So here we are addressing a
form of sexual action. Then Corinthians were reading is wrong.
Why is it because it's his father's wife. But it
would be okay if someone else's wife. No, it's classified
as adultery. Is particularly offensive, and that is also disharming
his father. But it goes into coveting, it goes into stealing.
But the heart of it, there is adultery. First Corinthians,
Chapter seven, verse two. But since sexual immorality is occurring,
each man should have sexual relations with his own wife,
in each woman with her own husband. Again, it is
not gender neutral. Incidentally, there were temple prostitutes at the
time that there was some religion that actually thought that
this was a religious act to go to a temple prostitute.
So paul in Corinthians could have said, well, look, if
you can't control yourself, just go pay for it. He
didn't say that. He spoke of husbands and wives Matthew,
Chapter five, verse thirty two. But I tell you this
is Jesus speaking. But I tell you that anyone who
divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, make sure the
victim of adultery in anyone who marries a divorce woman
commits adultery. So here they're talking about opposite sex relationships
becoming adulterous. Paul went on in many, many occasions to
describe people who commit homosexuality as being unwelcomed in the
Kingdom of heaven. He compares them to thieves. And I
know that deeply hurts people, people saying, wait, you're saying
that my love for another is like thieving, stealing from somebody. No,
but God said you shall not seal, shall not do
these things. I didn't include those passages because they're called
the clabber passages that people say are intended just to
clabb or same sex attracted people. So when the young
woman asked that question about physical harm, think of all
the ways God shows us, there are some things that
we shouldn't do with our bodies, some things we shouldn't eat,
some things we shouldn't consume, some heights from which we
ought not jump, and things we should not do sexually
to the bodies he designed. I would think that the
designer knows how the design was intended to be used,
and I hope we've gotten through that without being super
hurtful to people. There's a reason to hate these conversations.
I hope also in this has become clear at least
maybe I've not said this enough. I absolutely know that
I've fallen short of the glory of God. In fact,
every significant pain point my life has come because I
fell short of the glory of God, as we all do.
Same sex attracted, opposite sex attracted, no sex attracted. This
is the Todd Hermannshaw. Please go, be well, be strong,
be kind, and please make every effort to walk in
the light of Christ.
