1 00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:02,720 Speaker 1: Welcome to the three Stories version of The Todd Herman Show. 2 00:00:02,879 --> 00:00:06,360 Story number one, snap fraud should be great for Jesus 3 00:00:06,719 --> 00:00:11,640 and families, Story number two, should life saving be legal? 4 00:00:12,519 --> 00:00:16,000 And story number three, Yeah, but which Jesus. We'll talk 5 00:00:16,039 --> 00:00:19,120 about this all with the help of God Almighty. 6 00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:24,800 Speaker 2: But Todd Herman Show is one percent disapproved by big pharma, 7 00:00:25,039 --> 00:00:33,280 technocrarats and tyrants everywhere from the high mountains of Free America. 8 00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:40,159 Here's the Emerald City exile Todd Herman. 9 00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:47,200 Speaker 1: Today is the day the Lord has made, and these 10 00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:49,840 are the times to which God has decided we shall live. 11 00:00:50,359 --> 00:00:52,799 And I'm going to say something that might be strange, 12 00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:57,320 and that is that snap fraud should be a really 13 00:00:57,359 --> 00:01:01,359 great thing for Jesus and families. And I know that's 14 00:01:01,399 --> 00:01:04,799 a strange thing. And God is in the habit of 15 00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:07,519 using bad for good, particularly in the lives of Christians. 16 00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:10,680 This is something that he does on a consistent basis 17 00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:14,239 to use bad for goods. He used the bad of 18 00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:18,480 Peter turning his back on him when Peter denied Christ 19 00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:21,359 three times, just as Jesus said he would. Jesus used 20 00:01:21,359 --> 00:01:24,359 that as an opportunity to extend mercy to let Peter 21 00:01:24,519 --> 00:01:28,040 experience mercy, to have him see this forgiveness that the 22 00:01:28,079 --> 00:01:30,760 Lord forgave him, and then to have this incredible moment 23 00:01:30,799 --> 00:01:33,599 where Jesus met Peter where he was at. Peter wasn't 24 00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:35,760 able to say, Lord, I will always love you, I 25 00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:38,799 love you like God loves it's unchangeable. He was able 26 00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:41,359 to say, I love you as a brother. And Jesus 27 00:01:41,439 --> 00:01:43,680 met him there, and that, of course, Peter matured as 28 00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:46,840 a Christian to the point where he did love God unquestionably, 29 00:01:46,879 --> 00:01:48,680 so much so he went to the cross, and tradition 30 00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:51,920 tells us upside down because he didn't feel worthy of 31 00:01:51,959 --> 00:01:56,519 being crucified right side up. So God uses bad for goods. 32 00:01:56,599 --> 00:01:59,879 And there's tons of bad in the SNAP system, tons 33 00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:02,920 and tons and tons of fraud. Here's just some examples. 34 00:02:02,959 --> 00:02:05,719 Speaker 3: Hey, a congressional committee heard from a team of experts 35 00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:09,199 who said that abuse of the SNAP program is widespread 36 00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:13,439 and nationwide. This food stamp bust happened in April. Owners 37 00:02:13,439 --> 00:02:16,120 of a small store hauled off in handcuffs, accused of 38 00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:19,360 hundreds of thousands of dollars in fraud. In this Largo case, 39 00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:21,800 an undercover cop called a store owner willing to pay 40 00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:23,319 fifty cents on the dollar. 41 00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:25,199 Speaker 1: For an EBT card and pin number. 42 00:02:25,319 --> 00:02:27,400 Speaker 3: But it's not just a problem in Florida. 43 00:02:27,439 --> 00:02:31,479 Speaker 4: Fraud and poor management undermine public support for this program. 44 00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:36,240 Speaker 3: Ohio Auditor Dabos testified before the House Agricultural Committee today 45 00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:38,199 about food stamp fraud in his state. 46 00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:43,240 Speaker 4: We identified thirty six instances where dead people received benefits 47 00:02:43,319 --> 00:02:45,360 more than a year after their death. 48 00:02:45,599 --> 00:02:48,680 Speaker 3: He also shared how recipients hoarded benefits. 49 00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:51,719 Speaker 4: One thousand, three hundred and thirty seven recipients with balances 50 00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:53,840 greater than twenty three hundred dollars. 51 00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:57,360 Speaker 3: One person had twenty thousand dollars. One card holder made 52 00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:01,199 six purchases in an hour, totaling fifteen hundred fifty five dollars. 53 00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:04,000 Speaker 1: As church communities, as a body of Christ, we have 54 00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:07,400 a responsibility to see that the Greek widows are fed. 55 00:03:07,759 --> 00:03:10,639 This began in the Book of Acts, and the Book 56 00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:14,240 of Acts follows the Apostles. After Jesus went back to God, 57 00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:15,599 what was God is? 58 00:03:15,759 --> 00:03:15,800 Speaker 4: Was? 59 00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:18,000 Speaker 1: It is God? But went back to heaven and one 60 00:03:18,039 --> 00:03:20,199 of the things they set up was a ministry to 61 00:03:20,199 --> 00:03:24,080 make sure the Greek widows ate. We modern Christians, we 62 00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:26,280 don't have a skip on for that we don't get 63 00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:28,800 a mulligan. We're called to do that as well. So 64 00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:31,759 snap fraud is an opportunity for us to speak into 65 00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:36,639 the lives of taxpayers. Let us do this, give us 66 00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:39,960 the money, take the tax rite off by giving it 67 00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:41,879 to churches. Now, I'm not here to say that churches 68 00:03:41,879 --> 00:03:46,319 cannot become corrupt. Clearly, any human institution can become corrupt, 69 00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:50,639 but churches are far harder to corrupt. First of all, 70 00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:55,280 there's too many of us. Secondly, it's not the massive 71 00:03:55,439 --> 00:03:58,439 numbers that you can hide fraud in with the federal government. Third, 72 00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:00,919 when frauds found out at church is people are fired. 73 00:04:01,719 --> 00:04:04,840 Elders step in, they fire people, and if an elder 74 00:04:04,879 --> 00:04:07,280 is convicted of that, then he's kicked out of the church. 75 00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:10,879 These are well run churches, so it's an opportunity for 76 00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:13,319 us to say, look, we're better at it. And there's 77 00:04:13,319 --> 00:04:15,680 something else that comes with this. When we give money 78 00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:18,160 to people, people get to come to our churches and 79 00:04:18,199 --> 00:04:21,000 they're being handed boxes of food from people who are 80 00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:23,879 doing this because we love them. But why we haven't 81 00:04:23,879 --> 00:04:28,680 met them Because Jesus loved us first. Because when we 82 00:04:28,759 --> 00:04:32,120 see you, we are seeing someone made in God's image. 83 00:04:32,519 --> 00:04:34,600 If we're in our right minds, or rather if we're 84 00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:37,160 not in our minds, but in the spirit. If we're 85 00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:39,079 in the spirit, we're seeing everybody who comes into our 86 00:04:39,079 --> 00:04:41,199 food pantry as hey. You were created by God, You're 87 00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:43,879 loved by God. Uniquely. He counted over your hair in 88 00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:46,199 your heads. We'd love you to become a part of 89 00:04:46,199 --> 00:04:48,319 the family of Christ. And if we can talk to 90 00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:50,600 you about that, let us do that. But there's other 91 00:04:50,639 --> 00:04:53,399 ways that this should be good for Jesus. It's good 92 00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:57,519 because Jesus told us do not trust institutions. I mean, 93 00:04:57,519 --> 00:05:01,160 the Bible says some trust in sherats and horses, others 94 00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:03,439 trust in every word that proceeds from the mouth of God. 95 00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:05,639 As for me, in my home, we will choose to 96 00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:07,639 trust in every mouth that proceeds from the word that 97 00:05:07,639 --> 00:05:10,000 proceeds from the mouth of God. So it's an opportunity 98 00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:13,120 for us to show that as well, and for Jesus 99 00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:15,759 to work in the lives with people who are committing 100 00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:19,240 this fraud. This should be good for him on this front, 101 00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:22,319 and he can use things for goods. Here's another example 102 00:05:22,319 --> 00:05:25,439 of fraud, and this involves triple fraud. Well, double fraud. 103 00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:29,040 Illegal immigrants broke the law to get into this country 104 00:05:29,079 --> 00:05:31,399 and then went through instole our money through SNAP. 105 00:05:32,079 --> 00:05:37,040 Speaker 5: A city on the screen in Franklin County Common Police Court, 106 00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:41,160 Aanat Besgat, one of the three accused of stealing hundreds 107 00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:45,160 of thousands of dollars out of Ohio Supplemental Nutrition Assistance 108 00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:52,439 Program or SNAP you understand due to a language barrier, 109 00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:55,399 a judge continued his case and the case of Dowena 110 00:05:55,519 --> 00:05:59,519 Maria Baselon that involves five counts stating they engaged in 111 00:05:59,519 --> 00:06:03,000 a criminal enterprise starting last summer to steal more than 112 00:06:03,079 --> 00:06:06,720 one hundred and fifty thousand dollars worth of welfare benefits. 113 00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:09,720 It's at that same time we're going to gentlemen on 114 00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:14,040 godgeos Bisga crashed his minivan into a Columbus fire hydrant 115 00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:20,040 and was rushed to OSU East. Officers couldn't find an 116 00:06:20,079 --> 00:06:23,040 ID for Besga, and he was cited for not having 117 00:06:23,079 --> 00:06:24,199 a driver's license. 118 00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:28,480 Speaker 1: So there's multiple, multiple layers of fraud this second crime. 119 00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:31,439 This is an opportunity for us to speak of the 120 00:06:31,519 --> 00:06:36,439 disorder of our institutions. It's an opportunity for us Christians 121 00:06:36,439 --> 00:06:40,199 to say you have to stop thinking government's going to 122 00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:44,279 rescue and to the people who rely on SNAP, the 123 00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:47,199 people who are not committing fraud, because there's tons of that. 124 00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:50,240 I can show you others examples, but there's something very 125 00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:52,759 specific we should say to the people who are relying 126 00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:56,839 on SNAP, because there's people who are only able to 127 00:06:56,839 --> 00:06:59,279 eat through these programs. It shouldn't be that way, but 128 00:06:59,399 --> 00:07:01,800 it is. And this is where the harvest could be 129 00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:05,000 biggest because we can do the fraud thing all day long. 130 00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:07,160 I could go to a state that should be conservative, 131 00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:09,959 it's becoming less and less so. South Carolina. 132 00:07:10,079 --> 00:07:15,240 Speaker 6: Georgetown County charges after officials say she committed food SAMP fraud. 133 00:07:15,519 --> 00:07:18,600 Thirty five year old Breonna Simmons is charged with fraudulent 134 00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:22,000 acquisition or use of food stamps at more than ten 135 00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:25,120 thousand dollars value that ten thousand dollars or more. Those 136 00:07:25,199 --> 00:07:27,959 charges are coming from the state Department of Social Services 137 00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:32,040 after officials say that Simmons fraudulently got nearly fifty seven 138 00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:37,720 thousand dollars in Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits or SNAP benefits. 139 00:07:38,079 --> 00:07:40,399 She has been released from the Georgetown County jail on 140 00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:41,920 a five thousand dollars bond. 141 00:07:42,199 --> 00:07:45,839 Speaker 1: Conservatives don't quote need Jesus to know that government is corrupt. 142 00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:49,079 Anyone who's paying attention doesn't quote need Jesus to go 143 00:07:49,199 --> 00:07:51,759 show that governments corrupt. But we do need to point 144 00:07:51,759 --> 00:07:53,519 something out, and that is that it's always going to 145 00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:56,319 be corrupt. You are not going to clean it up. 146 00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:58,439 You may have some minor changes, you may have some 147 00:07:58,519 --> 00:08:01,639 major changes. You may go through and sweep out an 148 00:08:01,759 --> 00:08:05,560 entire department of the deep state, like USAID. And then 149 00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:08,240 you know, the USAID people came back and they're now 150 00:08:08,319 --> 00:08:11,399 pretty much admitting that they're running a color revolution or 151 00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:14,680 insurrection against President Trump. They're basically admitting that. We don't 152 00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:17,360 need Jesus to tell us that we can refer to 153 00:08:17,399 --> 00:08:20,399 his word. And the Bible warns us about people like this. 154 00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:23,079 It warns us about human kings. But I wanted to 155 00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:27,560 speak to the people who rely on snap. See, this 156 00:08:27,639 --> 00:08:31,160 is the most fertile ground for us to make disciples, 157 00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:34,799 because when people are in need and they don't know 158 00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:37,200 they're in need, they think their needs are being fulfilled, 159 00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:40,679 that's an awesome opportunity for outreach. And I'll tell you 160 00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:42,759 of one case where I know that's happened in fact, 161 00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:46,279 multiple cases, but one in particular that bore enormous fruit 162 00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:49,000 for an entire family, and it had to do with 163 00:08:49,039 --> 00:08:54,679 snap benefits getting hard to get. We have this opportunity 164 00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:57,759 in our country right now to help hollywoods come to 165 00:08:57,919 --> 00:08:59,960 terms with the fact that there's new games in town 166 00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:03,279 that were not completely relying on them, that, in fact, 167 00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:07,600 great Christian filmmaking can really succeed and change lives. There's 168 00:09:07,639 --> 00:09:11,120 a new movie called Disciples in the Moonlight from Angel Studios, 169 00:09:11,759 --> 00:09:14,919 and it tells a story that Hollywood wouldn't tell. I mean, sure, 170 00:09:14,919 --> 00:09:18,679 they'll tell stories about dancing being banned. Remember Footloose, how 171 00:09:18,799 --> 00:09:21,080 was a silly movie? Or there's this small tom pasture 172 00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:23,159 and dancing was banned that was actually shot down in 173 00:09:23,159 --> 00:09:27,039 a town in Utah been to still look, it's replayed, guys, 174 00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:29,679 you're still learning royalties from that kind of a silly plot. 175 00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:32,240 You could look at the plot of Disciples in the 176 00:09:32,279 --> 00:09:35,639 Moonlight and say, oh, that's silly, that's conspiracy stuff. It's 177 00:09:35,639 --> 00:09:38,799 about people smuggling Bibles in the United States because Bibles 178 00:09:38,799 --> 00:09:41,240 have been banned. Now when you watch it, you're gonna 179 00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:43,360 get excited. I mean, they're being pursued by a DHS 180 00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:45,519 type agent. You want them to get away with their mission. 181 00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:48,480 Eleven of them are really good people. One guy's not 182 00:09:48,519 --> 00:09:51,080 a particularly good dad. Then there's another dude. You'll learn 183 00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:54,279 about him, and not everybody succeeds in the mission. You'll 184 00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:57,120 also learn about a fake Bible in this movie that 185 00:09:57,240 --> 00:09:59,360 sounds a lot like the fake Bibles of today. This 186 00:09:59,399 --> 00:10:04,080 one coming from government, government giving money to produce fake 187 00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:06,639 Bibles in this country right now dei Bibles where God 188 00:10:06,759 --> 00:10:10,399 is neither male nor female. So Angels in the Angel 189 00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:13,320 Studios with Disciples in the Moonlight tracks this, But this 190 00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:16,600 stuff is happening now. The Bible is considered a hate 191 00:10:16,639 --> 00:10:19,279 speech in many countries. So go watch this. It's called 192 00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:22,200 Disciples in the Moonlight. Go to Angel dot com slash herman, 193 00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:26,360 that's Angel dot com slash Herman. Watch Disciples in the 194 00:10:26,399 --> 00:10:28,960 Moonlight and become an Angel Guild member. Then you're not 195 00:10:29,039 --> 00:10:31,960 just watching, you're helping to see Christian movies like this 196 00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:37,000 produce brave Christian filmmaking. Angel dot com slash Herman. When 197 00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:40,320 you look at the disciple making world and you understand 198 00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:42,559 that sometimes when people are at their greatest need, that's 199 00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:45,879 when they're most open the Jesuses. It shouldn't be that way. 200 00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:48,120 It shouldn't require us to be on our knees to 201 00:10:48,159 --> 00:10:49,639 be open to God. But when people get it to 202 00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:52,159 this point of desperation, that's very often when this happens. 203 00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:55,559 I know of a family who now goes to church 204 00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:58,679 and they've got a fruitful relationship with God, and it 205 00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:04,120 began with this. It began with a snapguard. The pin 206 00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:08,320 didn't work. They didn't have food, so they had to 207 00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:10,720 go through the process of trying to get this reset 208 00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:12,919 through the federal government. You know, that can be very difficult. 209 00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:15,799 And they live in North Idaho, and they weren't some 210 00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:18,360 of the people. They weren't people defrauding Snap. They looked 211 00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:19,879 at it as the only way they were able to eat. 212 00:11:19,879 --> 00:11:23,440 At that point, Dad made a horrible decision. Mom did 213 00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:25,559 what she could. She was raised to be a mother. 214 00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:28,320 She never had any specific job skills. I mean, she 215 00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:30,720 could take care of a home, she can clean, and 216 00:11:30,759 --> 00:11:32,720 she can cook, but she didn't have that resume that 217 00:11:32,759 --> 00:11:34,639 she could present to say I've worked all these places. 218 00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:36,879 So they were getting by on Snap while she was 219 00:11:36,919 --> 00:11:39,519 going out to get job training and Snap didn't work, 220 00:11:40,879 --> 00:11:43,840 so her son said to her, you know the place 221 00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:48,720 I go to youth group. You know, they give us 222 00:11:48,799 --> 00:11:52,919 pizza whenever we go, like, we get often free pizza, 223 00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:54,679 and they give us free ice cream and stuff. I 224 00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:57,919 wonder if they'd give us food. She said, well, I 225 00:11:57,919 --> 00:12:01,279 couldn't go get free food. I said, I'm going to ask. 226 00:12:02,879 --> 00:12:04,960 So he came to youth group and he asked one 227 00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:06,600 of the pastors and sat down and said, hey, we're 228 00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:08,759 having a problem. There's this guy in our family. And 229 00:12:08,799 --> 00:12:12,639 the past says, oh my gosh, well a hey, let's 230 00:12:12,639 --> 00:12:16,559 go shopping tonight and I'll get some food for you guys, 231 00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:19,679 and we'll just make sure you take that home. I'll 232 00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:21,759 go pick some up tonight. So this just make sure 233 00:12:21,759 --> 00:12:23,559 you're not hungry tonight. But yeah, absolutely have your mom 234 00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:26,879 come in see. If she doesn't, we just end up 235 00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:29,360 using the food at church. Right, if we have ever 236 00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:31,799 asked extra food to the kitchen, we wind up using 237 00:12:32,039 --> 00:12:35,559 the food in church to feed people here or our staff. 238 00:12:35,639 --> 00:12:37,840 So please please have her come in and we would 239 00:12:37,879 --> 00:12:41,559 consider it an honor. So when she walked into the church, 240 00:12:41,759 --> 00:12:44,440 she was expecting it to be like a government food pantry, 241 00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:46,799 and that's not what she encountered. She encountered people laughing, 242 00:12:48,039 --> 00:12:52,200 She encountered people embracing and talking and praying. And when 243 00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:54,480 she came in, she had the advantages of having met 244 00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:58,120 this pastor who got to know her son. And while 245 00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:01,080 she was standing in line to get the food, she 246 00:13:01,159 --> 00:13:03,240 got to talk with this pastor who said, you know what, 247 00:13:03,399 --> 00:13:05,399 we have such a fun time working with your son. 248 00:13:05,799 --> 00:13:07,960 He's such a joy to us, and we really feel 249 00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:10,320 like he's leaning into gods. And let me ask you, 250 00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:14,279 would you consider coming to church with him. That began 251 00:13:14,399 --> 00:13:17,200 the process of this woman coming to church, which began 252 00:13:17,279 --> 00:13:20,279 the process of her meeting people who didn't care that 253 00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:23,519 she didn't have the resume. They cared that she'd raised 254 00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:26,600 a family. They cared that she had the skills of 255 00:13:26,639 --> 00:13:28,919 taking care of a household and the skills of cooking, 256 00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:32,759 which became a job, which has become a career, which 257 00:13:32,799 --> 00:13:36,679 has become a restaurant and has become a family restaurant 258 00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:40,039 where the rest of the folks work. See, you can 259 00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:43,200 know it's God when something like that happens in that order, 260 00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:46,480 And it began with doubt. The snap fraud should be 261 00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:51,639 a massive opportunity for Christians. Story number two Should life 262 00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:58,399 saving be legal? Seems like a ridiculous question, utterly, utterly insane. 263 00:13:58,399 --> 00:14:01,639 Should it be legal to save a lot? And it 264 00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:04,840 sounds completely rhetorical, and yet it's not. Should it be 265 00:14:04,919 --> 00:14:09,039 legal to save a life? There are biblical roots to this. 266 00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:13,559 You know, when Jesus was curing this sick he often 267 00:14:13,639 --> 00:14:16,639 did this strategically. He did it in a way to 268 00:14:16,799 --> 00:14:20,480 show the pharisees for what the pharisees had become. He 269 00:14:20,519 --> 00:14:23,200 didn't have to go heal for instance, the man who 270 00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:25,559 was paralyzed and sat next to that pool, or should say, 271 00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:27,279 lay next to that pool. You know this story, right, 272 00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:30,240 This happened in the Bible. So there was a man 273 00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:33,600 who was a paralytic, and he lay next to this 274 00:14:34,559 --> 00:14:37,600 pool of water, and at certain times the water would 275 00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:40,480 bubble up, and the belief was if you were among 276 00:14:40,519 --> 00:14:42,480 the first to get in the water, then the gods 277 00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:44,519 would heal you. And he'd been doing this for a 278 00:14:44,519 --> 00:14:46,600 long long time. Now it's pretty hard for a paralytic 279 00:14:46,639 --> 00:14:49,320 to get in and out of the water, so oftentimes 280 00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:52,360 he never even got in the pool, certainly not first. 281 00:14:52,399 --> 00:14:53,879 And yet he never gave up on this. He had 282 00:14:53,919 --> 00:14:57,200 faith in the pool and One day Jesus came by 283 00:14:57,240 --> 00:15:00,320 and Jesus saw this. He saw this paralytic, so he 284 00:15:00,399 --> 00:15:02,200 went to him and he said, the most remarkable thing, 285 00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:05,600 do you want to be healed? See Jesus, when interacting 286 00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:07,879 with people, always wanted them to have buy in. Do 287 00:15:07,919 --> 00:15:11,159 you want to be healed? Yes I do, Lord, Yes 288 00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:14,039 I want to be healed. And Jesus healed him, told 289 00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:17,440 him to get his mat and walk away, and when 290 00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:21,879 he did that, he did this on Sabbath. I'm not 291 00:15:21,879 --> 00:15:26,360 supposed to do this, and he said, don't tell anybody. 292 00:15:26,399 --> 00:15:28,840 But the man ended up getting interviewed by the Pharisees 293 00:15:30,799 --> 00:15:32,919 and they wanted to know what happened, and he told 294 00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:36,759 him this man healed me. So when he was interviewed, 295 00:15:36,799 --> 00:15:38,919 of course he was talking about what happened. And then 296 00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:41,519 when told other people what happened. And it wasn't at 297 00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:45,279 Jesus's time, But one of the problems that Jesus had was, way, 298 00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:48,000 you can't go run healing people on the Sabbath on holidays. 299 00:15:48,039 --> 00:15:51,600 You can't do this. He did this more than once. 300 00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:55,159 He fixed the hand of a man, a man at 301 00:15:55,159 --> 00:15:57,840 a crippled hand, and he fixed it in the synagogue 302 00:15:57,919 --> 00:16:02,679 he interrupted the reading to fix this man's hands, and 303 00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:07,039 the leaders there, their tectocratic religious leaders, were furious, and 304 00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:10,600 Jesus said, look, who view if you had an animal 305 00:16:10,679 --> 00:16:12,759 stuck in a pit, say a farm animal stuck in 306 00:16:12,799 --> 00:16:14,919 a pit on the Sabbath, would let it stay there, 307 00:16:15,039 --> 00:16:18,120 or even that of your neighbor, You'd go get it out. 308 00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:22,399 My father requires mercy, not sacrifice. That's what he values. 309 00:16:22,759 --> 00:16:25,519 So should it be legal to heal? I'm asking this 310 00:16:25,559 --> 00:16:28,480 for a very specific question for a pretty interesting guy 311 00:16:28,519 --> 00:16:31,679 who made a pretty amazing statement about his cancer. I'll 312 00:16:31,679 --> 00:16:34,919 explain this in just a second. It's not always he 313 00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:37,039 legal to heal. The best way in America right now, 314 00:16:37,039 --> 00:16:40,840 it's literally not. For instance, I can't believe this, but 315 00:16:41,279 --> 00:16:45,799 Southern Mexico Port of Arta Rede Healthcare has world class 316 00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:49,559 healthcare using stem cells. Their stem cells come from women. 317 00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:53,080 They know because the doctors and the staff there monitor 318 00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:56,320 their pregnancies and their health, and the team pays for 319 00:16:56,440 --> 00:16:59,120 the people the women to go through their pregnancy. They 320 00:16:59,159 --> 00:17:01,559 monitor the health of the baby and the woman after pregnancy. 321 00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:04,039 When they get the stem cells. This is the placenta 322 00:17:04,039 --> 00:17:06,319 and the bilical cord. They only use the Wharton's jelly 323 00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:10,680 little portion from the umbilical cord. They walk it about 324 00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:13,920 five minutes, if that probably more like three into a 325 00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:16,160 world class lab. They look at the stem cells and 326 00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:18,759 then they culture the very best, meaning they reject eighty 327 00:17:18,759 --> 00:17:20,839 to ninety percent of them. That's what they use in 328 00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:23,599 your body to keep you from knee surgery, to replace 329 00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:26,920 your cartilage, to repair tendon muscle, to solve things like 330 00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:29,759 traumatic brain injury. Let's compare that to the United States. 331 00:17:30,559 --> 00:17:34,599 The stem cells you get here come from whoever they've 332 00:17:34,599 --> 00:17:38,920 been frozen for, however long they've been shipped around in 333 00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:44,279 whatever container, and whatever percentage of them are a chronic Hey, 334 00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:46,200 did the people who gave you the stem cells have 335 00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:46,680 good health? 336 00:17:46,759 --> 00:17:46,920 Speaker 7: Oh? 337 00:17:48,039 --> 00:17:49,480 Speaker 1: Did they get the mr N injections? 338 00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:49,799 Speaker 7: I don't know. 339 00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:53,279 Speaker 1: Well down in Mexico, you know all these things. If 340 00:17:53,319 --> 00:17:56,079 you are ailing and you're being told it's pills or surgery, 341 00:17:56,079 --> 00:17:58,599 you're just gonna have to live with it. Stop. Go 342 00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:01,640 to renew or e you dot healthcare and ask them 343 00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:03,680 if they can help you. It's renew r E n 344 00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:05,519 U E dot healthcare. 345 00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:06,559 Speaker 2: You know. 346 00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:10,359 Speaker 1: Scott Adams. Scott Adams was the guy who invented Dilbert 347 00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:15,319 Scott Adams has announced that he is facing his end 348 00:18:15,839 --> 00:18:18,279 and he's been talking about wanting to get some experimental 349 00:18:18,279 --> 00:18:21,359 treatments because he has cancer. And he made a statement 350 00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:23,240 about this on his live stream. 351 00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:28,799 Speaker 7: But I feel like, uh, a lot of things went 352 00:18:28,799 --> 00:18:34,279 in motion. Say so, I was contacted by Don Junior, 353 00:18:34,279 --> 00:18:38,559 who was literally in Africa. He's in Africa on a Sunday, 354 00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:42,680 and Don Junior is calling me and saying, I'm on this, yeah, 355 00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:45,759 my father, My father wants me to, you know, get 356 00:18:45,799 --> 00:18:49,480 this done. Then Bobby Kennedy calls me. Bobby Kennedy calls 357 00:18:49,519 --> 00:18:53,039 me like, what could I do? What's the situation? Doctor 358 00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:58,119 Oz calls me, doctor Oz, what's the situation? How could 359 00:18:58,119 --> 00:18:58,480 I help? 360 00:19:00,279 --> 00:19:01,400 Speaker 1: Oh? My god? 361 00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:05,880 Speaker 7: And then you may have seen that President Trump best 362 00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:10,839 president ever, he posted he posted my message to him. 363 00:19:11,039 --> 00:19:14,920 That was actually yesterday. It was a public message and 364 00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:18,160 he just said on it, on it, he was so 365 00:19:18,319 --> 00:19:18,599 on it. 366 00:19:19,079 --> 00:19:19,599 Speaker 1: Oh my god. 367 00:19:19,599 --> 00:19:20,160 Speaker 4: It was the ait. 368 00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:22,000 Speaker 1: This should be no reason in the world that a 369 00:19:22,039 --> 00:19:24,319 man who's been told he's dying from cancer shouldn't go 370 00:19:24,519 --> 00:19:28,440 be able to try any experimental treatment he wants. The 371 00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:31,359 only reason they don't do this, they don't allow it 372 00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:35,000 is number one. They want to pretend they're concerned about liability. Honestly, 373 00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:40,359 Pharma that got a waiver for you know what, for 374 00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:45,160 you know how long they're concerned about liability. The right 375 00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:49,480 to try should be across every possible formula. After all, 376 00:19:50,039 --> 00:19:53,240 Jesus showed us it should never be against the law 377 00:19:53,319 --> 00:19:58,640 to heal. Story number three. Yeah, but which Jesus? Which Jesus? 378 00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:05,000 There is a poll out that shows that the number 379 00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:07,519 of people percentage of people who believe that religion is 380 00:20:07,599 --> 00:20:11,880 losing influence is down quite a bit and gaining influence 381 00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:15,880 is up quite a bit. And the poll went across 382 00:20:16,039 --> 00:20:21,240 all sorts of demographics, White Evangelical Protestants, white Protestants, not evangelical, 383 00:20:21,319 --> 00:20:28,960 Black Protestants, Catholic, Jewish, religiously unaffiliated, atheists, agnostic, nothing in particular, Republican, lean, 384 00:20:29,039 --> 00:20:33,440 Republican Democrat, lean Democrats, ages eighteen twenty nine, thirty through 385 00:20:33,519 --> 00:20:37,759 forty nine, fifty through sixty four, sixty five plus, and 386 00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:42,160 pretty much across the board. People agree that religion is 387 00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:45,319 now gaining influence, and this comes from Pew. In February 388 00:20:45,319 --> 00:20:48,359 twenty twenty four, eighty percent of people thought religion was 389 00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:53,359 losing influence, eighteen percent thought it was gaining influence. This 390 00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:57,519 is among US adults in February twenty twenty five. Sixty 391 00:20:57,559 --> 00:21:01,599 eight percent say it's losing influence down twelve points, and 392 00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:04,440 those points have just about transferred over to the other sides, 393 00:21:04,559 --> 00:21:07,319 and then some gaining influence, so they gained a point, 394 00:21:07,319 --> 00:21:11,799 probably the unknowns. And again across the spectrum the demography 395 00:21:12,319 --> 00:21:15,839 and religion and politics, people seem to agree that religion 396 00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:19,119 is gaining influence. Now for some people, this is terribly frightening, 397 00:21:20,519 --> 00:21:25,240 because God forbid Christians get in charge. True Christians who 398 00:21:25,319 --> 00:21:28,680 understand that you can't force Christianity on people using laws 399 00:21:28,759 --> 00:21:32,759 and be a Christian understand that Christian nationalism can never 400 00:21:32,839 --> 00:21:37,920 be force. It can be electing Christian people who want 401 00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:40,680 to have the light of God shine through them, who 402 00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:44,240 want the Holy Spirit ter reign, whose votes will be 403 00:21:44,279 --> 00:21:47,599 informed by their Christian faith. They can't vote for anything 404 00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:52,000 that blatantly violates the word of God. And God never 405 00:21:52,039 --> 00:21:56,920 goes out and forces, well Jesus doesn't. He will every 406 00:21:57,039 --> 00:21:59,559 need will bow, and every tongue will confess. There will 407 00:21:59,599 --> 00:22:01,200 be a day that that's happens. But I'm not even 408 00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:04,480 sure that's through force. I think when Jesus comes back, 409 00:22:04,519 --> 00:22:06,359 you're gonna have a lot of people who have been 410 00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:09,640 abiding with Christ. If you are post trip a biding 411 00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:12,599 with Christ, and we're going to stand up and say, oh, 412 00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:15,240 praise God, he's here. Look, Jesus is king. And then 413 00:22:15,279 --> 00:22:17,440 we'll get tour these oh Lord, oh Lord, oh Lord, 414 00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:19,079 when a lot of other people are going to go, 415 00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:24,599 oh wait, oh no, they were right, Jesus is lord. 416 00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:26,960 Oh my oh oh oh, I mean needs bowing you, 417 00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:30,160 your lord, your lord. I'm sorry, And then we're in 418 00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:33,480 the tribulation if you like it that way. Now there's 419 00:22:33,519 --> 00:22:37,519 one other indicator, one undercurs of interesting bit of data, 420 00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:42,079 and this is about us influence and religion being true. 421 00:22:42,079 --> 00:22:46,359 It also comes from Pew. Now this begs a question, Yeah, 422 00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:51,359 but which Jesus or which God? Will start there in 423 00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:55,440 just a second. Clearly, clearly this is a war. Clearly 424 00:22:55,640 --> 00:23:00,880 it's spiritual warfare. Clearly everything is spiritual, and spiritual warfare 425 00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:03,559 is pervasive. It's across all fronts. It's in your home, 426 00:23:04,079 --> 00:23:06,759 it's in your business, it's in your friendships, it's in 427 00:23:06,799 --> 00:23:10,720 your job. And if you are, say a combat warrior man, 428 00:23:10,799 --> 00:23:15,119 it's stick. My friend Tim Krukshank fought a war in Babylon, well, 429 00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:17,799 a battle within a war. He was a medica attached 430 00:23:17,799 --> 00:23:20,160 to the seal teams and one of his three deployments 431 00:23:20,279 --> 00:23:23,440 was literally fighting in Babylon, and yeah, that hit him 432 00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:26,240 pretty hard. When he was overseas fighting for US, he 433 00:23:26,279 --> 00:23:28,680 put together a plan to create a coffee company that 434 00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:31,720 would honor Navy seals. Because that's who he was. He 435 00:23:31,799 --> 00:23:33,640 became a buds and structor iph. He came back, by 436 00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:36,599 the way, So the Bone Frog brand, the picture of 437 00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:40,200 the Bone Frog itself is reminiscence of a fallen seal. 438 00:23:40,279 --> 00:23:43,240 That's what it stands for. The God Country Team thing starts, 439 00:23:43,279 --> 00:23:47,160 of course with God Country Team. Can Tim considers family 440 00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:51,279 team and his team team. Ten percent of proceeds from 441 00:23:51,279 --> 00:23:53,279 this coffee company always go to the families of fallen 442 00:23:53,319 --> 00:23:57,720 Navy seals. And Tim couldn't possibly put junk coffee into this, 443 00:23:57,839 --> 00:24:01,720 so he recruited a coffee legend named Dave Stewart to 444 00:24:01,799 --> 00:24:04,079 mentor his team on the roasts and to even make 445 00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:06,640 some of themselves go look at all the roasts, All 446 00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:09,440 the delivery methods are there from k cup to French drip, 447 00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:12,599 whatever you like is Bonefrog Coffee dot com slash Todd. 448 00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:15,519 Use promo code Todd at checkout to save ten percent 449 00:24:15,559 --> 00:24:18,359 in a first purchase fifteen percent of subscription coffee this 450 00:24:18,519 --> 00:24:22,359 Bonefrog Cooffee dot com slash Todd. Twenty six percent of 451 00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:26,799 Americans say that only one religion is true. There is 452 00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:29,839 only There's no truth in any religion is six percent. 453 00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:33,799 There's little truth in any religion is eighteen percent. Only 454 00:24:33,839 --> 00:24:36,880 one religion is true is twenty six percent, forty eight percent. 455 00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:40,000 Many religions may be true. So let's take this in reverse. 456 00:24:41,759 --> 00:24:46,640 If you're polytheists, there you go. Many religions can be true. 457 00:24:47,039 --> 00:24:48,920 So if you think there's more than one God, have 458 00:24:49,039 --> 00:24:51,680 at it. Then many religions can be true. Now is 459 00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:54,759 there more than one God? Well, there are parts of 460 00:24:54,799 --> 00:24:58,240 the world where there's no gravity. I love it. I 461 00:24:58,319 --> 00:25:00,559 take it a vacation sometimes New Zealand because they don't 462 00:25:00,559 --> 00:25:02,000 have gravity there. And now, I don't know if you've 463 00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:04,519 ever done this, but the seconds across the border you 464 00:25:04,559 --> 00:25:07,799 can float. Plus the animals have wheels, and that's pretty cool, 465 00:25:07,839 --> 00:25:10,519 like if you've seen a giraffe with wheels. Super fun. 466 00:25:10,559 --> 00:25:12,319 To watch them speed around and ride them and you 467 00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:17,319 steer them. Well, wait, that's not true. Wait aren't there 468 00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:22,960 parts of the world where people have gills? No, oh, 469 00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:26,440 there's parts of the world where people love to go 470 00:25:26,519 --> 00:25:32,119 out and be stolen from. No. No, there's not some 471 00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:34,799 great war going on with a bunch of gods each 472 00:25:34,839 --> 00:25:37,680 having their own little part of the fiefdom of earth. 473 00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:41,920 That's clearly not happening. Now, there's good and evil. Anybody 474 00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:45,599 can see that. So wouldn't that leave us then with 475 00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:50,519 the monotheism monotheistic faiths. Let's go with the three major 476 00:25:50,519 --> 00:25:57,079 monotheistic face what are called the abramcfaiths. So you have Judaism, Islam, Christianity. 477 00:25:57,480 --> 00:26:01,240 So Judaism was there first, and then christian and then Islam. 478 00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:06,440 So let's go at this in order. So Judaism shares 479 00:26:07,319 --> 00:26:11,599 some roots with Christianity. Jesus was a Jew. He went 480 00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:16,039 to synagogue, he preached in the temple, and then he 481 00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:19,079 departed from that. He was still Jewish, but he came 482 00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:22,079 and said, I am the Messiah, the Son of God. 483 00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:26,599 And he showed this to be true throughout the Bible, 484 00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:29,400 and much of this is still in the Torah and 485 00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:33,519 the Jewish religious texts. There are prophecies about Jesus. He's 486 00:26:33,559 --> 00:26:36,680 fulfilled some twelve hundred of them. There's others to be fulfilled. 487 00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:40,279 The mathematical odds of one guy fulfilling all of these 488 00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:43,319 is insanely low. Even on things like where he was born. 489 00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:46,079 Jesus didn't control where he was born or his lineage. 490 00:26:46,119 --> 00:26:48,799 He didn't control that, and it's difficult to fake in 491 00:26:48,839 --> 00:26:51,640 a culture that made a big effort to track lineage. 492 00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:55,680 Jesus died and was raised, and it's not just his 493 00:26:55,839 --> 00:26:58,599 followers who saw that. There were people who went home 494 00:26:58,640 --> 00:27:00,720 and spoke of it. There was a change society. There 495 00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:05,000 were people scared hiding away from the tectocratic Jewish religious authorities, 496 00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:08,279 and the Romans convinced that they too would be unalived 497 00:27:08,799 --> 00:27:11,079 if they spoke of Jesus. And then three days after that, 498 00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:13,279 when they'd seen him alive, they went and preached in 499 00:27:13,279 --> 00:27:17,279 front of five thousand men, probably fifteen thousand people, publicly 500 00:27:17,319 --> 00:27:21,160 saying I refused to change my story about Jesus. Eleven 501 00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:25,960 of them were unlived. They couldn't quite unlive John because 502 00:27:25,960 --> 00:27:29,000 they just couldn't get the job done. And to the ends, 503 00:27:29,359 --> 00:27:31,759 none of them none of them came off the story 504 00:27:31,799 --> 00:27:35,680 that Jesus was in fact raised from the dead. Now, 505 00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:39,880 on the other hand, with the Jewish faith, they've ignored 506 00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:46,200 the scriptures of prophecy. They expected a militant, a military 507 00:27:46,279 --> 00:27:49,759 leader of zi Messiah, even though we know that we 508 00:27:49,799 --> 00:27:53,799 would have a suffering Messiah, even though we knew that 509 00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:57,200 he would have the hair pulled from his beard, that 510 00:27:57,279 --> 00:27:59,880 he would be slapped, that he would be put up high, 511 00:28:00,039 --> 00:28:05,480 that he would be pierced for our transgressions. So I 512 00:28:05,599 --> 00:28:08,880 discount that because I believe Jesus proved themselves to be 513 00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:14,079 the Messiah. Now Islam, on the other hand, Islam was 514 00:28:14,119 --> 00:28:17,839 warned about We were told that there would be false prophets. 515 00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:21,200 We were told that they would arise. We were told 516 00:28:21,240 --> 00:28:24,519 that they would be making promises of being angels. Well, 517 00:28:24,599 --> 00:28:27,200 my understanding is Mohammed said, an angel came and told 518 00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:30,599 him the true story, that Jesus was just a prophet. 519 00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:35,480 Jesus was just one of many prophets here to foretell 520 00:28:35,519 --> 00:28:39,400 the coming of all law. And yet Islam gets just 521 00:28:39,440 --> 00:28:43,039 about everything wrong about Jesus ch chronologically where he's from, 522 00:28:43,079 --> 00:28:47,000 et cetera. They get just about everything wrong Furthermore, if 523 00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:49,480 you look at what Islam teaches in terms of our 524 00:28:49,519 --> 00:28:53,079 relationship with an almighty, do you observe an almighty that 525 00:28:53,119 --> 00:28:56,160 has created a world filled with lies? I mean, if 526 00:28:56,200 --> 00:28:58,039 you go and run off the edge of a cliff, 527 00:28:58,039 --> 00:29:01,720 you're going to fall because gravity is a fact. Do 528 00:29:01,759 --> 00:29:05,720 you see a bunch of head fakes in nature? I 529 00:29:05,720 --> 00:29:08,119 don't think we observe a god who created a world 530 00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:11,279 that's filled with lies. And yet in Islam we're told 531 00:29:11,359 --> 00:29:14,359 it's okay to lie if it's to get one over 532 00:29:14,440 --> 00:29:18,119 on the gentiles or the enemies of Islam. Islam is militant. 533 00:29:19,079 --> 00:29:22,039 Do you see a god that's super, super, super excited 534 00:29:22,079 --> 00:29:26,759 about hurting human beings? I mean, yes, storms happen, bad happens, 535 00:29:26,839 --> 00:29:29,960 but all the time. No, the majority of time, things 536 00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:33,799 are good, in fact, very very good. If our earth 537 00:29:34,039 --> 00:29:37,799 was one degree off in our rotation, everything would end. 538 00:29:38,839 --> 00:29:41,680 If the planets were one degree off, everything would end. 539 00:29:42,240 --> 00:29:44,920 If you screwed up the mix of oxygen and hydrogen 540 00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:47,640 in the world, everything would end. God is keeping all 541 00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:49,680 things in order, all things in place, and the Bible 542 00:29:49,759 --> 00:29:53,240 tells us this. So twenty six percent of Americans say 543 00:29:53,240 --> 00:29:55,599 that only money religion is true, and I think we 544 00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:57,720 could boil this down to the Christian faith. Well, so 545 00:29:57,759 --> 00:30:02,599 then we're good. Yeah, but what's Jesus? See, this is 546 00:30:02,640 --> 00:30:05,960 what the modern heretics have done if they's caused us 547 00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:08,960 to ask this question, which Jesus is it? The Jesus 548 00:30:09,119 --> 00:30:12,960 who was raised Jewish, who read the law and the Torah, 549 00:30:13,319 --> 00:30:16,839 who came to fulfill the law, and when he wanted to, 550 00:30:17,279 --> 00:30:20,160 he changed the law. He changed his standards. It's not 551 00:30:20,240 --> 00:30:23,160 what goes in a person's body, but what comes out 552 00:30:23,240 --> 00:30:26,920 that defiles them. When the law was being abused, Jesus 553 00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:27,440 called it out. 554 00:30:27,599 --> 00:30:27,799 Speaker 2: Yeah. 555 00:30:27,839 --> 00:30:30,000 Speaker 1: He did tip over the tables of the temple. He 556 00:30:30,039 --> 00:30:32,480 did bring out a whip. My father's house is not 557 00:30:32,559 --> 00:30:37,680 a farmhouse. He did correct people. My father requires mercy, 558 00:30:37,759 --> 00:30:42,079 not sacrifice. He wasn't shy about coming along and saying, 559 00:30:42,079 --> 00:30:44,119 you guys are abusing the law. Let me correct this 560 00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:46,119 for you. He did go through a series of things 561 00:30:46,119 --> 00:30:48,400 where he said you have heard it said that, But 562 00:30:48,599 --> 00:30:52,680 I tell you on topics of sexuality, Jesus always raised 563 00:30:52,680 --> 00:30:55,680 the bar every single time you've heard you shall not 564 00:30:55,680 --> 00:30:57,720 commit adulty. But I tell you, a man who looks 565 00:30:57,759 --> 00:30:59,680 at a woman with lust in his eyes has already 566 00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:03,240 commit adultery. That's a raising of the bar. He did 567 00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:05,519 the same thing with being angry with the brother. He 568 00:31:05,759 --> 00:31:07,880 raised the bar. Sin is not just what you do, 569 00:31:07,920 --> 00:31:11,359 it's in the mind. So what's Jesus? Is it that 570 00:31:11,440 --> 00:31:15,200 Jesus says, yeah, you know what, do whatever. I'm all 571 00:31:15,279 --> 00:31:18,000 just about love. I don't have any rules. Just be cool. 572 00:31:18,079 --> 00:31:21,200 Just don't steal or hit people. Other than that, your 573 00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:25,000 body's a playground. Now, Jesus purchased the bodies of Christians 574 00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:27,200 with his own blood and his own torture and his 575 00:31:27,279 --> 00:31:30,799 own sacrifice. He purchased us for every sin ever committed 576 00:31:30,880 --> 00:31:33,960 or ever would be committed. So there's one Jesus. Just 577 00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:36,440 this is one God, just as there's one way to 578 00:31:36,480 --> 00:31:38,519 that one God. Jesus Christ said, I am the Way, 579 00:31:38,559 --> 00:31:40,160 the Truth and the Life, and no one comes to 580 00:31:40,200 --> 00:31:42,759 the Father but through me. So it's a good thing 581 00:31:43,680 --> 00:31:48,039 that people recognize that there's only one religion can be true. 582 00:31:48,279 --> 00:31:50,240 Now let's get down to the business of showing them 583 00:31:50,519 --> 00:31:53,599 which one is the true religion and within that who 584 00:31:53,680 --> 00:31:56,799 Jesus really is. This is the Todd Hermann Shaw. Please 585 00:31:56,799 --> 00:31:59,160 go be well, be strong, be kind, and please make 586 00:31:59,160 --> 00:32:01,599 every effort to walk in the light of Christ.
