Good Story number two, a CNN 4 00:00:12,560 --> 00:00:17,239 host is stunned that the Borders are is gonna arrest 5 00:00:17,359 --> 00:00:19,399 Denver's insurrectionist mayor. 6 00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:21,199 Speaker 2: She says oof. 7 00:00:22,359 --> 00:00:28,239 Speaker 1: Story number three was Dietrich Bonhoffer, who was heroic? Was 8 00:00:28,280 --> 00:00:31,839 he an actual Christian? I want to talk about this 9 00:00:31,879 --> 00:00:33,920 with the help of her YouTube channel YouTube dot com 10 00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:37,000 slash at the Todd Herman Show end with God Almighty. 11 00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:43,600 Speaker 3: The Todd Herman Show is one disapproved by big pharma, 12 00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:52,119 technocurrats and tyrant's everywhere. From the high mountains of Free America. 13 00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:58,960 Here's the Emerald City XI Todd Herman. 14 00:01:04,879 --> 00:01:07,400 Speaker 1: Today is the day the Lord has made, and these 15 00:01:07,439 --> 00:01:09,959 are the times to which God has decided we should live. 16 00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:16,000 It's fascinating to watch the systems that run the country, 17 00:01:16,359 --> 00:01:19,159 the deep State attempt to. 18 00:01:19,079 --> 00:01:24,560 Speaker 2: Preserve itself in the status quo. There's something in the. 19 00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:30,200 Speaker 1: Business world that we call creative destruction. In creative destruction destruction, 20 00:01:30,359 --> 00:01:34,280 you make a decision to destroy your own creations. Steve 21 00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:37,439 Jobs was brilliant at this Steve Jobs would set up 22 00:01:37,519 --> 00:01:42,040 teams within Apple whose job was to take down an 23 00:01:42,079 --> 00:01:45,480 existing team, and we give them a little startup budget, 24 00:01:45,519 --> 00:01:49,120 the skunkworks budget, and if they could build technology better 25 00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:54,120 or able to capture more market share than the existing system, 26 00:01:54,599 --> 00:01:57,959 they could take over the existing system. You could looking 27 00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:01,280 at as someone who's an evolutionary thinker, thinking of the 28 00:02:01,319 --> 00:02:02,439 survival of the fittest. 29 00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:05,599 Speaker 2: When creative destruction. 30 00:02:05,519 --> 00:02:09,639 Speaker 1: Is stalled, let's say, through entropy or through powers that 31 00:02:09,719 --> 00:02:12,319 you amassed by being powerful for too long of a time, 32 00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:16,280 other entities will come along and destroy you. Think of 33 00:02:16,319 --> 00:02:21,199 this when Microsoft had been so dominant in the operating 34 00:02:21,199 --> 00:02:23,319 system world, and they used the operating system world to 35 00:02:23,319 --> 00:02:28,199 become dominated in applications by creating an open system where 36 00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:32,719 anyone could apply to being a developer in the Windows ecosystem. 37 00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:35,599 Then they started to amass all the applications they had 38 00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:41,439 to run on Windows. They became very, very powerful, and 39 00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:46,280 they failed to notice a little startup called Google until 40 00:02:46,319 --> 00:02:49,759 it was too late. Google came along and went at 41 00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:53,840 Microsoft kind of around the corner. They developed a mass 42 00:02:53,879 --> 00:02:57,080 of users based upon a search product that was world class. 43 00:02:57,719 --> 00:03:01,000 They developed a very slick and very easy mod toedization system. 44 00:03:01,439 --> 00:03:04,439 They developed a way for anybody to run a worldwide 45 00:03:04,439 --> 00:03:06,599 ad campaign, which right now sounds like well, of. 46 00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:07,840 Speaker 2: Course, but that wasn't the case. 47 00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:12,000 Speaker 1: This was utterly revolutionary that you from your desktop could 48 00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:14,719 purchase ads on the biggest websites in the world in 49 00:03:14,759 --> 00:03:18,439 about five minutes. When they amassed all that, they began 50 00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:21,120 to eat away on some of the core business that 51 00:03:21,199 --> 00:03:24,479 Microsoft had, including the operating system, not by going at 52 00:03:24,479 --> 00:03:27,719 the desktop first, but by going at phones. Then they 53 00:03:27,719 --> 00:03:31,599 went at the desktop using Chrome and Chrome Books. Microsoft 54 00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:34,639 couldn't see this coming because they had become an entropy 55 00:03:34,719 --> 00:03:40,039 driven enterprise. They didn't creatively destroy what they had. Washington, 56 00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:44,039 DC is happy to destroy what we have. They just 57 00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:47,919 don't want to see their bureaucracy destroyed. And Donald Trump 58 00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:50,960 and the people, some of the people that he's nominated 59 00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:55,479 are creative destruction, walking and breathing. And the people in 60 00:03:55,599 --> 00:04:00,759 DC are freaked out, particularly people like Andy McKay. Now, 61 00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:02,319 I'm not going to send him this stuff because I 62 00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:03,840 wanted to be freaked out. But if one of the 63 00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:05,680 things he wanted to do was be less freaked out, 64 00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:08,680 he could use a product called Wisdom, which is Bible 65 00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:13,400 based a Bible based herbal blend. Simple to take. In fact, 66 00:04:13,439 --> 00:04:17,319 it's delicious, it's a dietary supplement. It's gmo free, it's 67 00:04:17,399 --> 00:04:19,639 vegan if you're into that gluten free. My daughter is 68 00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:22,519 inted at. It was developed by a guy named doctor 69 00:04:22,639 --> 00:04:26,279 Patrick and Tempo. He was in the Holy Land. He 70 00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:29,560 walked for Jesus Christ walked and as he was doing that, 71 00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:33,360 he was reading about the Bible's healing knowledge and this 72 00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:36,600 inspired him. He wanted to create a product that would 73 00:04:36,639 --> 00:04:40,959 combine the truth of the Bible with the observable science 74 00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:45,160 of the modern life to restore vitality, mental clarity, better sleep, 75 00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:50,000 stress relief, joint health, detoxification, healthy inflammation, responds pain, and more. 76 00:04:50,399 --> 00:04:52,240 Speaker 2: And that's what he did with Wisdom. 77 00:04:52,879 --> 00:04:55,079 Speaker 1: When I first tried this product, I reached out to 78 00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:56,439 the sales team and said, I would love to get 79 00:04:56,439 --> 00:04:59,439 these guys on the show. I was stunned and just 80 00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:01,839 humbled to learn that they actually watch and or listen 81 00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:02,399 to the show. 82 00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:02,839 Speaker 2: Wow. 83 00:05:03,759 --> 00:05:05,920 Speaker 1: My wife tried this, and here's something she said. We 84 00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:09,279 paid for her to go to a very expensive health 85 00:05:09,399 --> 00:05:13,439 retreat in Colorado. There's a couple of weeks she and 86 00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:17,600 my daughter went this mimics some of what they got 87 00:05:17,639 --> 00:05:20,800 at that clinic, which is also Bible based.

This country has been there before, right I don't. 124 00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:18,800 Speaker 1: Think he means it has been there before in the past, 125 00:07:19,079 --> 00:07:22,639 you know, four years underfigure had Biden. But it's been 126 00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:25,199 there for the past four years underfigurehead Biden. It was 127 00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:30,319 there under Barack Hussine Obama. Any McCabe was part of Russia, Russia, Russia. 128 00:07:30,959 --> 00:07:33,600 He was part of protecting the Hunter Biden laptop. He 129 00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:36,279 was part of pretending that the Hunter Biden laptop was 130 00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:40,639 Russian disinformation propaganda. He was part of all of that. 131 00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:44,680 Any McCabe was part of an FBI that has not 132 00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:48,879 gone after the people who've been bombing these pro life centers, 133 00:07:49,199 --> 00:07:53,439 these birth centers. There's been about eighty bombings. There's been 134 00:07:53,439 --> 00:07:57,199 about six people arrested. They're not pursuing them with any seriousness. 135 00:07:57,839 --> 00:08:04,360 The FBI, who knows intelligence officials lied about the genesis 136 00:08:05,399 --> 00:08:09,839 of the Hillary Clinton scandal about President Trump being a 137 00:08:09,879 --> 00:08:13,639 Russian asset. They know where that came from. They know 138 00:08:14,759 --> 00:08:18,199 there were campaign monies or laundered through a law firm. 139 00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:22,360 That's a crime, you're laundering the intent. President Trump just 140 00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:26,879 about went to prison for a book keeping air or 141 00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:30,759 falsification number on Stormy Danis. The FBI knows all these things. 142 00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:36,120 The idea that Nana McCabe is worried about the weaponization 143 00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:37,559 of the FBI is laughable. 144 00:08:37,879 --> 00:08:39,039 Speaker 2: But what about cash. 145 00:08:38,799 --> 00:08:44,240 Speaker 1: Ptel's actual status for the job. He was the chief 146 00:08:44,279 --> 00:08:46,919 of staff at the Department of Defense, Deputy Director of 147 00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:50,200 National Intelligence, Senior Director for counter Terrorism at the National 148 00:08:50,279 --> 00:08:57,000 Siturty Council. He's tried sixty jury trials. He is as qualified, 149 00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:00,000 if not more qualified, than all the previous FBI directors. 150 00:09:00,279 --> 00:09:04,000 But Andy McCabe is right about something. Cash Patel is 151 00:09:04,399 --> 00:09:10,399 there to destroy. 152 00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:08,759 Speaker 2: The c suite. 153 00:09:09,799 --> 00:09:13,399 Speaker 1: That's what we called them in business, the bosses, the 154 00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:15,960 same bosses who've lied to the American people and who 155 00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:20,279 are political actors. Here's what's fascinating about Cash Patel. He 156 00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:26,200 was victimized by Andy McCabe's deeply nonpartisan FBI. When Cash 157 00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:30,919 was working on the Russia investigation for the Congress with 158 00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:36,159 the White House, the FBI spied on him. They went 159 00:09:36,159 --> 00:09:39,720 to Google and said we want all his information. Cash 160 00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:43,200 Pattel found this out five years after the fact when 161 00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:45,159 Google lawyers called him and said, hey, by the way, 162 00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:48,360 we had an order to give the FBI all your information. 163 00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:50,679 Cash Betel said, look, I'm a prosecutor. 164 00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:52,600 Speaker 2: I get it. They went to everybody. They don't just 165 00:09:52,639 --> 00:09:53,120 go to Google. 166 00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:54,799 Speaker 1: They went to Facebook, they went to my banks, they 167 00:09:54,799 --> 00:09:55,840 went to my phone companies. 168 00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:57,120 Speaker 2: They did that. 169 00:09:58,799 --> 00:10:00,960 Speaker 1: In order to try to find dirt on the guy 170 00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:07,039 whose task was to investigate their investigation. It's not nonpartisan, 171 00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:10,919 say any mckabe. I would say this. You're getting to 172 00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:14,759 victimize the CNN audience. Who's gonna listen to you and 173 00:10:14,799 --> 00:10:18,200 believe you. We don't believe you, at least I don't. 174 00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:20,639 Good news is you don't need to care. If I 175 00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:25,000 believe you, God knows every single motive in your heart. 176 00:10:25,159 --> 00:10:28,480 He listened to every conversation you had encrypted or otherwise, 177 00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:31,279 even if you had them in secure rooms, God was there. 178 00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:35,159 He doesn't respect your encryption or your secure rooms. Everything 179 00:10:35,159 --> 00:10:36,960 whispered in the dark. But when they be shouted from 180 00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:40,320 the rooftops, and one day and you will answer for 181 00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:43,559 any of the lies you have foisted upon the American people, 182 00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:44,679 as I will. 183 00:10:45,159 --> 00:10:51,039 Speaker 2: We'll all answer.

The newly 239 00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:32,200 elected Los Angeles County Police chief is said the same thing, 240 00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:33,120 he'll go to jail. 241 00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:36,600 Speaker 2: He's pledged his support to. 242 00:13:36,519 --> 00:13:40,120 Speaker 1: Block illegal immigrants from being deported, which would mean he'd 243 00:13:40,159 --> 00:13:42,639 be setting himself up for a felony charge because it 244 00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:47,200 happens that harboring illegal immigrants is a federal felony. For years, 245 00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:50,320 in the separate country of Washington, state separate country of California, 246 00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:56,799 judges have secreted illegal immigrants defendants out of the courtroom 247 00:13:57,399 --> 00:13:58,799 when they learn that Ice is there. 248 00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:00,720 Speaker 2: In many of these. 249 00:14:00,639 --> 00:14:03,720 Speaker 1: Separate countries, like Oregon, Washington, in California, they will not 250 00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:07,879 charge you legal immigrants with felonies because if felony gets 251 00:14:07,879 --> 00:14:10,879 you time in prison. In other words, you are detained 252 00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:14,399 in prison for more than a year, at which point 253 00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:18,879 Ice gets an automatic notice that you are here. Casey 254 00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:22,480 Hunt has never responded with an oof to that. She's 255 00:14:22,519 --> 00:14:24,480 never responded and shocked to wait a minute, hold on, 256 00:14:25,159 --> 00:14:29,840 you have city, county, and state officials harboring criminals. They 257 00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:32,879 took a pledge to defend the Constitution in the United 258 00:14:32,919 --> 00:14:35,799 States against enemies foreign and domestic, and they're harboring criminals. 259 00:14:35,879 --> 00:14:39,200 She's never responded this way. It's a quick clip, but 260 00:14:39,279 --> 00:14:41,840 it says at all about CNN and Casey Hunt. 261 00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:44,840 Speaker 5: I think we will see Denver rights and folks around 262 00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:46,759 the country who will not violently resist them. 263 00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:49,000 Speaker 2: Me and the Denver mayor, we agree on one thing. 264 00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:51,960 Speaker 3: He's willing to go to jail. I'm willing to put 265 00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:52,559 him in jail. 266 00:14:54,879 --> 00:14:57,480 Speaker 6: Oof. 267 00:14:59,000 --> 00:14:59,480 Speaker 2: Why hoof? 268 00:15:02,399 --> 00:15:05,639 Speaker 1: If he becomes borders are She's a phrase I hate. 269 00:15:05,639 --> 00:15:10,120 We shouldn't have anything like stars. He takes an oath 270 00:15:11,559 --> 00:15:14,879 to defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic. 271 00:15:15,399 --> 00:15:18,360 He takes an oath to do that, So why the oof? 272 00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:20,120 That shouldn't be an oof? 273 00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:21,720 Speaker 2: It's this. 274 00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:29,200 Speaker 1: She cannot relate to a federal government doing anything other 275 00:15:30,399 --> 00:15:37,440 than virtue signaling. Casey, what is the act of harboring 276 00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:38,360 illegal immigrants? 277 00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:39,559 Speaker 2: What is that? 278 00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:46,879 Speaker 1: Is it's upholding law? Is it defending the constitution? Is 279 00:15:46,879 --> 00:15:51,559 it defending the taxpayer? Is it defending our border? Is 280 00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:52,440 it doing their duty? 281 00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:55,639 Speaker 2: What is it? You can say it's humanitarian? 282 00:15:55,759 --> 00:15:56,120 Speaker 3: Is it. 283 00:15:57,559 --> 00:16:00,759 Speaker 1: When our open border is used to bring carts, tells 284 00:16:00,799 --> 00:16:04,279 and into our country? Who set up then supply lines 285 00:16:05,039 --> 00:16:08,559 to bring human beings across, sometimes for sex trafficking, sometimes 286 00:16:08,559 --> 00:16:14,000 for labor trafficking? Is that humanitarian? Is it humanitarian to 287 00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:17,720 give illegal immigrants in our country twenty two hundred bucks 288 00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:20,000 a month and ten thousand dollars in walking around money, 289 00:16:20,159 --> 00:16:22,919 when we have homeless veterans, when we ourselves are a 290 00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:28,120 bankrupt nation, is that really really humanitarian? We as a nation, 291 00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:30,519 or five percent of the world's population, we have taken 292 00:16:30,559 --> 00:16:32,000 in at least twenty percent of the. 293 00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:34,559 Speaker 2: World's displaced people. Is that really a good thing? 294 00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:36,679 Speaker 1: To take good people out of their country instead of 295 00:16:36,679 --> 00:16:38,919 giving them the ability to fight within their own country 296 00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:42,360 to save their country. On the topic of immigration, I 297 00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:45,679 don't think it gets more entertaining than seeing a young 298 00:16:45,679 --> 00:16:48,240 woman who, for whatever reason, does this video I think 299 00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:50,039 laying on her back, wrapped up in a blanket. Maybe 300 00:16:50,039 --> 00:16:52,720 this is a young girl thing. I don't know, but 301 00:16:52,799 --> 00:16:55,279 this is a probably fourteen or fifteen year old girl 302 00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:58,159 who asks some very precise questions in a response video 303 00:16:58,559 --> 00:17:02,279 to AOC's videos. I'm responding to a response video by 304 00:17:02,279 --> 00:17:04,200 a fifteen year old. That's where we've landed in this 305 00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:10,079 media age. We agree being undocumented is a problem, but 306 00:17:10,279 --> 00:17:13,400 our solution, instead of turning the military on our. 307 00:17:13,319 --> 00:17:18,640 Speaker 2: Own people, is to document them. To document the undocumented. 308 00:17:19,079 --> 00:17:22,119 Speaker 7: Why is America not allowed to have borders. If I 309 00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:25,960 illegally crossed in other country's borders decided to start a family, 310 00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:29,519 and then their leadership changes and I get caught, why 311 00:17:29,519 --> 00:17:32,440 are they expected to now feel bad for me? I 312 00:17:32,559 --> 00:17:35,319 understand having compassion for those sad stories out there, and 313 00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:38,759 I'm not here for families getting torn apart. But if 314 00:17:38,799 --> 00:17:42,119 you came here under false pretenses and now you get 315 00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:45,880 caught and you're not here legally and you get sent home, 316 00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:49,400 why do I have to feel bad for you? You 317 00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:52,880 don't feel bad that people here who work every day 318 00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:56,960 and pay taxes haven't been able to afford gas or groceries, 319 00:17:57,279 --> 00:18:01,160 or car payments, or rent or a more. People can't 320 00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:03,519 even afford to get their own house. And you guys 321 00:18:03,599 --> 00:18:05,960 just get to walk in here and get stuff handed 322 00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:08,839 to you on our backs. You don't feel bad. What 323 00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:13,200 if Americans walked into your country and started demanding housing 324 00:18:13,599 --> 00:18:16,759 and demanding food vouchers because what you were already supplying 325 00:18:16,799 --> 00:18:20,160 us with for free wasn't good enough. All I'm saying 326 00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:23,480 is the entitlement is getting a bit too out of hand. 327 00:18:23,759 --> 00:18:25,799 And that's exactly why Trump and Holman are going to 328 00:18:25,839 --> 00:18:29,200 step in. This country needs a harsh dose of reality, 329 00:18:29,519 --> 00:18:30,759 and that's what we're about to get. 330 00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:33,880 Speaker 1: The reality is this, Tom Holman will take a pledge 331 00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:36,799 to support the Constitution and defend it against enemies foreign 332 00:18:36,799 --> 00:18:41,640 and domestic, and foreign countries flooding our borders with people 333 00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:44,079 they don't want in their countries, which is what very 334 00:18:44,079 --> 00:18:46,720 often is going on, is an attack against our constitution. 335 00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:49,440 One of the things on this because I find it fascinating, 336 00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:53,400 The Economist wrote this headline to panic people. 337 00:18:54,079 --> 00:18:56,240 Speaker 2: Donald Trump or this is a tweet. Donald Trump and. 338 00:18:56,160 --> 00:18:58,559 Speaker 1: Tulca Gabbart are both opposed to section seven oh two 339 00:18:58,680 --> 00:19:02,559 of the Foreign Surveillance and Tell At, which authorizes electronic 340 00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:05,720 surveillance on American soil. If they caution it, the FBI 341 00:19:05,759 --> 00:19:12,039 will lose a major source of intelligence. Glenn Greenwald, who's 342 00:19:12,079 --> 00:19:16,799 written about the intelligent services for decades, A doctrinaire liberal, 343 00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:20,400 same sex attracted man who recently lost his partner. Hope 344 00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:22,599 he's healing his heart. I hope that God will call 345 00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:23,559 Glenn to himself. 346 00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:24,839 Speaker 2: Glenn writes this. 347 00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:28,759 Speaker 1: Fiz's Section seven oh two didn't exist until two thousand 348 00:19:28,759 --> 00:19:32,000 and eight, when the Pelosi led House enacted it. It 349 00:19:32,119 --> 00:19:36,319 retroactively legalized Bush Cheney spying and Americans without warrants, they 350 00:19:36,519 --> 00:19:39,319 still use suede to stop it. But now that it's 351 00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:42,200 Trump and Gabbard a post everyone acts like it's a 352 00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:43,720 sacred part of US history. 353 00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:48,759 Speaker 2: Indeed it is acting. Story Number three. 354 00:19:50,799 --> 00:19:56,119 Speaker 1: Do you know anything about Dietrich Bonhoeffer? Eric Metaxas wrote 355 00:19:56,119 --> 00:19:59,839 what I think is probably the defining book about Bonhoeffer. 356 00:19:59,279 --> 00:20:00,440 Speaker 2: And it was called bonne Hoffer. 357 00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:04,559 Speaker 1: Eric is a great writer, great communicator, brilliant man who 358 00:20:04,559 --> 00:20:07,680 wrote with a lot of love about Didrich Bonhoeffer. Jadrich 359 00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:10,519 Bonhoeffer was a pastor in Germany who decided to not 360 00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:14,720 give in to Hitler. For that he'll always be heroic. 361 00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:19,839 Hitler had been quietly going around the churches. Nudge, nudge, nudge, 362 00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:23,359 is just to change here or there in how you 363 00:20:23,400 --> 00:20:26,240 practice your faith, just a little change. We'd like to 364 00:20:26,279 --> 00:20:29,599 see maybe the music change just a little bit. Then 365 00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:33,319 there was some scripture we found bothersome. Then we'd just 366 00:20:33,519 --> 00:20:35,440 like you to put a picture of the fear in 367 00:20:35,519 --> 00:20:38,240 the church. Does it need to be bigger than Jesus, 368 00:20:38,279 --> 00:20:39,240 just needs to be there. 369 00:20:39,839 --> 00:20:41,640 Speaker 2: Oh, by the way, could we start with Hyle. 370 00:20:41,519 --> 00:20:45,119 Speaker 1: Hitler before we get to the sermon, and then there's 371 00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:49,599 that picture of Jesus. He doesn't look particularly aran. So 372 00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:51,920 we've had some of our artists with the third Reich 373 00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:55,119 where and there's some other paintings. Here's a choice of them. 374 00:20:55,279 --> 00:20:59,039 You can see all of them are erin which one 375 00:20:59,079 --> 00:21:03,599 do you choose? After all the choices? Yours cash or charge? 376 00:21:03,839 --> 00:21:09,640 Bonheffer refused. He came to America Ditrich Bonhoeffer, and he 377 00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:12,160 hung out in New York and in the South, and 378 00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:16,079 he heard American music, rock and roll and jazz, and 379 00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:21,519 he became just smitten with that experience. He attended some 380 00:21:21,599 --> 00:21:25,880 Black Baptist churches and loved the way they worshiped the Lord. 381 00:21:26,599 --> 00:21:29,319 He loved the joyous worship. He loved the unstructured worship. 382 00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:32,720 After all, remember he was a Lutheran, very structured form 383 00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:37,000 of practicing Christianity at the time. Now we have Lutheran 384 00:21:37,079 --> 00:21:42,160 churches that are very opposite of Christianity. Distreet Bonhoeffer agreed, 385 00:21:42,279 --> 00:21:45,279 after a long debate, a lot of soul searching, to 386 00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:51,440 involve himself in a plan to attempt to assassinate Adlf Hitler. 387 00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:55,200 You shall not murder. He had to go through a 388 00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:59,759 huge internal debate, huge prayers on this there's a new 389 00:21:59,799 --> 00:22:03,160 movie coming out about Bonhoeffer that hits the theaters I 390 00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:06,279 think now coming up this week twenty twenty four. It 391 00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:10,400 focuses on that specific plot. It's a movie some of 392 00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:12,920 my friends have seen. I'm probably gonna go see eventually. 393 00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:18,039 And the question is this. I don't think there's any 394 00:22:18,039 --> 00:22:22,039 debate that he's a hero, but was he actually a Christian? 395 00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:24,960 Speaker 6: Something's coming? 396 00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:34,079 Speaker 1: Look around and my friend, how much light do you see? 397 00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:35,240 Speaker 4: Hello? 398 00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:42,319 Speaker 3: Talkness file come to talk with you. 399 00:22:46,279 --> 00:22:50,039 Speaker 7: Because of vision or something. 400 00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:53,319 Speaker 1: It is in the black churches, black society, and America, 401 00:22:55,960 --> 00:22:58,039 spensing the segregation. 402 00:22:57,839 --> 00:23:01,839 Speaker 6: Colusion possible times. 403 00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:09,839 Speaker 2: Back in Germany takes impossible courage. 404 00:23:09,279 --> 00:23:13,119 Speaker 1: That they are in the plot, praying are they gonna. 405 00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:15,960 Speaker 4: We have devised a plot to assassinate the fear. 406 00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:18,759 Speaker 2: And told true story? 407 00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:19,960 Speaker 4: Do we go to England? 408 00:23:20,559 --> 00:23:21,160 Speaker 2: As a spy? 409 00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:24,119 Speaker 3: Churchill sees Germany as a whole. 410 00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:27,279 Speaker 7: He's afraid that a bomb trace to England would be 411 00:23:27,599 --> 00:23:29,440 invasion or. 412 00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:38,000 Speaker 3: Invasion invasion My country was invaded from Winding People. 413 00:23:37,759 --> 00:23:48,119 Speaker 2: Bound Pastor it says on the screen, Hi, spy. 414 00:23:56,039 --> 00:24:07,920 Speaker 1: Assassin design. So there's no doubts that he was heroic. 415 00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:12,960 Jijuke bon Hoeffer was murdered. He was executed days before 416 00:24:13,039 --> 00:24:16,720 the war ended. They still killed him. 417 00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:18,640 Speaker 2: So I don't mean to say that he was not heroic. 418 00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:20,160 But was he a Christian? 419 00:24:20,559 --> 00:24:24,519 Speaker 1: We'll answer that in the second was Jijuke Bonheffer actually 420 00:24:24,559 --> 00:24:25,160 a Christian? 421 00:24:25,799 --> 00:24:26,400 Speaker 2: Will do this. 422 00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:29,359 Speaker 1: With a calm mind and a calm body, you can 423 00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:32,960 get extra calm and extra focused throughout this holiday season 424 00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:37,319 when it's easy to become absolutely insanely distracted.

There's a fascinating 460 00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:23,279 article on this called Bonhoefer Reliable Guide that's linked in 461 00:26:23,319 --> 00:26:23,960 the show notes. 462 00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:26,640 Speaker 2: Bonheffer stated that the Holy Scripture. 463 00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:30,200 Speaker 1: Alone witness to the divine revelation, which occurred as a 464 00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:33,039 one time, unrepeatable, and self contained. 465 00:26:32,839 --> 00:26:35,160 Speaker 2: History of salvation. They're right. 466 00:26:35,319 --> 00:26:38,240 Speaker 1: There's a huge difference between the scriptures being a witness 467 00:26:38,319 --> 00:26:43,559 to divine revelation and being divine revelation. Bonheffer happily accepts 468 00:26:43,559 --> 00:26:48,039 the so called findings of higher destructive criticism. He rejects, 469 00:26:48,079 --> 00:26:51,319 for example, the Biblical account of creation in favor of evolution. 470 00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:55,920 Bonhoeffer on one occasion told his congregation unequivocally that the 471 00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:59,319 Bible is filled with material that is historically unreliable. Even 472 00:26:59,359 --> 00:27:02,920 the Life of Gesus, he said, is overgrown with legends myths, 473 00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:05,920 so that we have scant knowledge about the historical Jesus. 474 00:27:06,039 --> 00:27:09,039 Bonhoeffer concluded that the life of Jesus cannot be written. 475 00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:12,960 He followed Rudolph Boltman in finding the New Testament full 476 00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:15,079 of myths which have to be de mythologized. 477 00:27:15,319 --> 00:27:16,960 Speaker 2: Bonhoffer wrote, my. 478 00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:20,079 Speaker 1: Opinion of it today would be that he Boltman went 479 00:27:20,319 --> 00:27:22,839 not too far as most people thought, but rather not 480 00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:26,720 far enough. It's not only mythological concepts like miracles, ascension 481 00:27:26,799 --> 00:27:30,680 and so on that are progmatic, but religious concepts as such. 482 00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:31,559 Speaker 2: Let's pause. 483 00:27:32,839 --> 00:27:35,640 Speaker 1: Here's the challenge when you begin picking apart the Bible. 484 00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:41,000 If the Genesis account is not true, none of it is, well, 485 00:27:41,119 --> 00:27:44,119 oh no. You could say, well, no, I agree with deuterotomy. 486 00:27:44,119 --> 00:27:48,319 That's true, okay, but someone else might not. Someone else 487 00:27:48,359 --> 00:27:52,559 might say, yeah, Genesis is true, but deuterotomy is not. Well, no, 488 00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:55,079 but it's just a New Testament. Okay, what part of 489 00:27:55,119 --> 00:27:59,079 it the Bible tells us that this is the complete, 490 00:27:59,119 --> 00:28:00,880 in errant word of God. It's not to be added 491 00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:02,160 to or subtracted from. 492 00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:04,799 Speaker 2: But I don't like that part. Okay. 493 00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:07,200 Speaker 1: Then you are dealing with the document that anyone can 494 00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:10,640 slice apart. When you do that, you're slicing apart the 495 00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:11,799 body of Christ again. 496 00:28:12,680 --> 00:28:13,000 Speaker 2: Again. 497 00:28:14,160 --> 00:28:17,720 Speaker 1: You can accept the Bible as complete, the complete, inerrant 498 00:28:17,759 --> 00:28:20,680 word of God, or you can say, yeah, it's got 499 00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:23,680 some God stuff in there, and then everyone gets to 500 00:28:23,759 --> 00:28:25,440 debate what's the God stuff and. 501 00:28:25,400 --> 00:28:26,519 Speaker 2: What's not the God stuff. 502 00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:30,640 Speaker 1: Back to Bonhaeffer in this article is he a trustable 503 00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:34,160 guide for evangelicals the Cross is at the center of 504 00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:38,440 their faith. Bonhaeffer did not believe in substitutionary atonement, Christ 505 00:28:38,559 --> 00:28:41,400 suffering as a substitute for our sins, dying in our 506 00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:43,160 place to earn eternal. 507 00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:43,359 Speaker 2: Life for us. 508 00:28:43,880 --> 00:28:46,319 Speaker 1: The Cross of Christ certainly is important to him, but 509 00:28:46,359 --> 00:28:49,400 in a very different way. It is an example in 510 00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:53,119 an inspiration. He's concerned that we live cross centered lives, 511 00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:55,440 and by that he means that we wake up our cross, 512 00:28:55,519 --> 00:28:58,200 our take up our cross, and follow Christ, living as 513 00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:02,599 lives of self denial. Yes, as with Barth there's a 514 00:29:02,599 --> 00:29:05,240 great emphasis on grace, but the idea of Christ as 515 00:29:05,279 --> 00:29:08,119 the lamb of God taking where sins by suffering for 516 00:29:08,279 --> 00:29:13,759 hell is missing to evangelicalism. That is a critical omission. Indeed, 517 00:29:13,759 --> 00:29:16,680 Bonheffer would argue that we are saved by the incarnation 518 00:29:17,039 --> 00:29:21,720 Christ taking on our nature rather than by his atoning death. 519 00:29:22,680 --> 00:29:24,680 He taught us that in the body of Jesus Christ, 520 00:29:24,759 --> 00:29:27,440 God is united with humanity. All of human is accepted 521 00:29:27,480 --> 00:29:29,799 by God and the world is reconciled with God. In 522 00:29:29,839 --> 00:29:32,200 the body of Jesus Christ, God took upon himself the 523 00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:35,440 sin of the whole world and bore it. The Bible 524 00:29:35,559 --> 00:29:38,400 is not hard to understand. Here you can look at 525 00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:42,079 the most famous saying from the Bible bit a scripture, 526 00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:43,400 John three sixteen. 527 00:29:44,079 --> 00:29:44,640 Speaker 2: Look it up. 528 00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:50,640 Speaker 1: He was also a universalist. Bon Hoffer was a universalist, 529 00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:53,640 believing in the eventual salvation of all. He wrote, there's 530 00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:55,599 no part of the world, no matter how godless, which 531 00:29:55,599 --> 00:29:57,759 is not accepted by God and reconciled with God in 532 00:29:57,880 --> 00:30:00,720 Jesus Christ. Whoever looks on the body of Jesus Christ 533 00:30:00,799 --> 00:30:02,880 in faith can no longer speak of the world as 534 00:30:02,920 --> 00:30:05,880 if it were lost, as if it were separated from Christ. 535 00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:10,799 Every individual will eventually be saved in Christ. No, the 536 00:30:10,799 --> 00:30:13,240 Book of Revelation makes very very clear there's a throne 537 00:30:13,240 --> 00:30:19,240 of judgment where some will suffer forever in hell. There 538 00:30:19,359 --> 00:30:22,720 is Jesus Christ saying he is the Truth, the Way, 539 00:30:22,759 --> 00:30:24,240 the Truth, and the Life. And no one gets to 540 00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:26,640 the Father but through him. If you don't get to 541 00:30:26,680 --> 00:30:31,839 the Father, you spend a eternity apart from him. Jesus 542 00:30:31,920 --> 00:30:35,319 spoke of winnowing. He spoke of branches being thrown in 543 00:30:35,359 --> 00:30:38,559 the fire did not produce fruit because they were unconnected 544 00:30:38,559 --> 00:30:42,440 from the vine. You cannot be a universalist and be 545 00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:45,119 an evangelical. I don't think you can be a universalist 546 00:30:45,200 --> 00:30:50,880 and be a Christian. Bonheffer believed in situation ethics, It 547 00:30:50,920 --> 00:30:53,559 writes in this article the Sermon on the Mount receives 548 00:30:53,599 --> 00:30:55,759 great attention in the Cost of Discipleship. 549 00:30:55,799 --> 00:30:57,279 Speaker 2: This is one of Bonhoeffer's books. 550 00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:01,480 Speaker 1: Bonhoeffer called fellow Christians to radical discipleship, to follow Jesus 551 00:31:01,480 --> 00:31:06,000 with abandonment. However, most evangelicals miss one of his key points. 552 00:31:06,599 --> 00:31:11,440 Discipleship does not, according to Bonhoeffer, involve learning the content 553 00:31:11,480 --> 00:31:15,319 of Jesus teaching and following it. Rather, what is said 554 00:31:15,359 --> 00:31:19,200 about the content discipleship is follow after me, run along 555 00:31:19,240 --> 00:31:22,640 behind me. That is all, to follow him is something 556 00:31:22,680 --> 00:31:27,440 completely empty of content. Bonheffer picks up Luther's strange phrase 557 00:31:27,640 --> 00:31:31,359 sin boldly and draws the distinction between trying to keep 558 00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:34,920 the law, which he regards as legalism. In obanying God, 559 00:31:35,519 --> 00:31:39,799 for example, Bonhaeffer argues that trying to not tell lies 560 00:31:40,039 --> 00:31:44,000 is legalism. He held a form of situation ethics, or 561 00:31:44,359 --> 00:31:47,359 held to a form of situation ethics. What is right 562 00:31:47,400 --> 00:31:49,960 and wrong depends on the circumstances and not on the 563 00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:54,000 absolute law of God. However, God's law is an expression 564 00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:57,640 of God's character, and he's unchangeable. The only way to 565 00:31:57,680 --> 00:31:59,960 know the will of God is by studying the Scripture, 566 00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:04,400 which contain the law of God. There can never be 567 00:32:04,440 --> 00:32:09,240 a contradiction between God's law and God's will. Jesus did 568 00:32:09,279 --> 00:32:14,359 not add asterix next to his teaching you shall not 569 00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:18,480 lie unless it would hurt someone's feelings to tell the truth. 570 00:32:19,200 --> 00:32:23,279 He didn't do that. Bonhoffer was a hero. He did 571 00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:27,920 undertake an attempt to assassinate Hitler. He refused to be 572 00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:31,079 told to stop preaching the gospel, even as he himself 573 00:32:31,160 --> 00:32:34,920 didn't fully believe it, and yet God used him, didn't he. 574 00:32:35,920 --> 00:32:37,720 I wonder how many people have come to the Lord 575 00:32:37,759 --> 00:32:41,039 through Bonhoffer. A concern is that they actually come to 576 00:32:41,079 --> 00:32:44,680 the Lord and not to teach Bonhoffer. 577 00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:46,279 Speaker 2: This is the Todd Hermannshaw. 578 00:32:46,319 --> 00:32:48,920 Speaker 1: Please go, be well, be strong, be kind, and please 579 00:32:48,960 --> 00:32:51,559 make every effort to walk in the light of Christ.
