Speaker 1: We should read our bibles as men dig for buried treasure.
Speaker 2: One of the most high game with the nations their inheritance.
Speaker 2: When we divided mankind, he fixed the borders of people's
Speaker 2: according to the number of the sons of God.
Speaker 1: In those days and for some time after, giant Nephilites
Speaker 1: lived down to the earth. For whenever the sons of
Speaker 1: God had intercourse with women, they gave birth to children
Speaker 1: who became the heroes and famous warriors.
Speaker 2: Of ancient tides.
Speaker 1: Take no part in the fruitless steeds of darkness, but
Speaker 1: yet expose that though a.
Speaker 3: Thousand fall at your side, though ten thousand are dying
Speaker 3: around you.
Speaker 2: These ears will not touching lives of garden man.
Speaker 3: You gotta dig it.
Speaker 2: Hell, old fellow treasure hunters, Welcome to the excavation side.
Speaker 2: I'must in alongside and when we got Ben Steve even
Speaker 2: in Chad will be your guides on this excursion. Hope
Speaker 2: you brought your shovel in your compass, because we got
Speaker 2: the map. Hey, everybody, welcome back. Welcome back was now
Speaker 2: July fourth, is now past? Oh, yeah, I'm back from vacation.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we're I guess we're mid mid July ain't we Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 3: we Uh you missed out yesterday.
Speaker 2: Oh what happened yesterday?
Speaker 3: We harvested fifty chickens.
Speaker 2: Harvested is that the politically correct term for slaughter?
Speaker 3: Slaughtered, killed, gutted?
Speaker 2: So we got a freezer full of chicken.
Speaker 3: We do have a freezer full of chicken.
Speaker 2: Nice spartacue.
Speaker 3: Oh the best is smoking it on the grill, on
Speaker 3: the smoker mesquite wood. Can't get no better that right there?
Speaker 2: Yeah, give me talk about FOD. We're gonna get nothing done.
Speaker 3: Man.
Speaker 2: I know we said there slow already.
Speaker 3: I ain't had lunch yet.
Speaker 2: But yeah, what'd you do? We went to Deston, Florida
Speaker 2: for the week of July fourth. It was pretty awesome,
Speaker 2: beautiful white sand beaches. It's usually clear water, but we were
Speaker 2: there and they said that June grass was in bloom,
Speaker 2: so it was kind of some seaweed and stuff. So
Speaker 2: they say it's hitt and missed around that time of year,
Speaker 2: it hit it hit, well, well, what are the two
Speaker 2: of me?
Speaker 3: Goes two? So it seems like it's been going on
Speaker 3: the past couple episodes.
Speaker 2: Its summertime, man, everybody's everybody's doing stuff out gallivanting, around
Speaker 2: enjoying the weather.
Speaker 3: I'm just I got so much here. I don't go nowhere.
Speaker 3: You're like me, Yeah, but you went on vacation.
Speaker 2: Well yeah, once a year.
Speaker 3: I took your vacation, but I stayed here and worked.
Speaker 3: I have to go back to work to get a break.
Speaker 2: Well this with this one, I guess the subject matter
Speaker 2: is is the law dead?
Speaker 3: Yes? It is the old law dead.
Speaker 2: And that's something that I would think that's should be
Speaker 2: pretty fundamental as a Christian. You know, I was always,
Speaker 2: you know, taught from a young age that you know,
Speaker 2: we are brought in favor with God to grace the
Speaker 2: gift that's freely given and not by works. But I understand,
Speaker 2: you know, the Jewish religion, they don't really you know,
Speaker 2: we've talked about this before. They'll Jesus.
Speaker 3: So they're still living under the old law, which is
Speaker 3: impossible to accomplish.
Speaker 2: Oh it is, So.
Speaker 3: Therefore, I guess you'd have to sacrifice once a month.
Speaker 2: Or once sacrifice? Well are you covered now?
Speaker 3: But I didn't offer them to the lord, so I
Speaker 3: guess not right. I need to go pick the fattest ones.
Speaker 3: The ones with the prettier skin was too late without blemishes.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you got to burn the fat. Yeah, but a
Speaker 2: sweet savor to the Lord.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Now, like for me, I never really studied this
Speaker 3: until this past couple of weeks. I believe that, you know,
Speaker 3: the the most of the old law was dead, you know,
Speaker 3: the you know, like they had like you could only
Speaker 3: take so many steps on the Sabbath day. You had
Speaker 3: to prepare all your food the day before, so you
Speaker 3: wasn't cooking on the Sabbath.
Speaker 2: You know, all this different sacrificial systems.
Speaker 3: Yeah, all this.
Speaker 2: Uh, when your wife mins strait's gotta put her in
Speaker 2: a cave for a week before. You can never see
Speaker 2: your toucher. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you can't touch a woman who's unclean, which would
Speaker 3: be daring her when her aunt Flow comes to visit
Speaker 3: ant Flow. But but I always kind of assumed, you know,
Speaker 3: like the Ten Commandments still stood. But I'm kind of
Speaker 3: not there now. Which I'm not saying that the Ten
Speaker 3: Commandments aren't good to follow, because obviously they are. And
Speaker 3: if you're if you're following after after God and trying
Speaker 3: to you know, be as close to Jesus like Christ
Speaker 3: like as you can, then obviously you're gonna follow the
Speaker 3: ten Commandments minus the Sabbath day, because you know, if
Speaker 3: you're not following the Sabbath day laws, the logistic laws,
Speaker 3: you know, then does that throw out the Sabbath day altogether? Well?
Speaker 2: Even Jesus said, you know was he said to the
Speaker 2: Pharisees when they were picking grain and stuff. He said,
Speaker 2: you know, the Sabbath was made from man man? Was
Speaker 2: it made for the Sabbath?
Speaker 3: That's right. So as we get into this, I guess
Speaker 3: we'll clear some of this up.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, And like with me too, that's you know,
Speaker 2: me and Ben, we both arrive at the same finish
Speaker 2: line on our thought process. You know. Like with me,
Speaker 2: my thought process was all the old levitical laws, sacrificial system,
Speaker 2: all that stuff was dead. But the Ten commandment stood, right,
Speaker 2: And because they're good moral teachings, right, And it's not
Speaker 2: a basically a checklist you have to complete before you
Speaker 2: get into heaven. It's just it's something that you don't
Speaker 2: you don't have to do, but you therefore want to do.
Speaker 3: I guess look at like this, if the Ten Commandments
Speaker 3: were still law, what did you have to do to
Speaker 3: repent for breaking the law?
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, you have sacrifice sacrificial system.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but we don't have to sacrifice nothing, right, So
Speaker 3: therefore the payment for breaking the laws not there. So
Speaker 3: if you're not paying to break the law, is the
Speaker 3: law still there?
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I see what you're saying. Yeah, the whole
Speaker 2: umbrella term. Yeah. So yeah, you ask for forgiveness instead
Speaker 2: of doing works for forgiveness will righteousness right right?
Speaker 3: Well if that made sense.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, clear as mud. Right. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's all I'm good for.
Speaker 2: But one thing I wanted to just kind of touch
Speaker 2: on before we got started. There's a video you can
Speaker 2: guys look at up. It's on YouTube and stuff and
Speaker 2: the name of the company that does it. They they
Speaker 2: do all these little short videos like with cartoons and
Speaker 2: illustrations and really dumify stuff. And I really like I
Speaker 2: like that too, the Bible Project and that's some of
Speaker 2: the guys that's affiliated with the Logos and Faith Life
Speaker 2: Bible Study and stuff like that. But they did a
Speaker 2: video like on the law, and I just wanted to
Speaker 2: touch on a few of those things before we got
Speaker 2: started and digging into scripture because a lot of people
Speaker 2: don't realize, I guess because I mean they're not Jewish.
Speaker 2: They can't speak, you know, Hebrew or read Hebrew. I
Speaker 2: can't neither, But I mean I can study and I
Speaker 2: can stuff out.
Speaker 3: You know, I can hardly read English.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so I could dig a little bit. But a
Speaker 2: lot of people don't realize. But there was six hundred
Speaker 2: and thirteen commandments given to Israel in Genesis, Exodus, the
Speaker 2: Bidicus numbers in Deuteronomy.
Speaker 3: It's a lot.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a lot. Like you said, it's almost I
Speaker 2: mean it might as well. It's impossible, you know, I mean,
Speaker 2: only one man did it. Only one man did it.
Speaker 2: But these are the first five books of the Hebrew Bible.
Speaker 2: Is called the Torah. Well, Torah in English is translated
Speaker 2: as the law. You know, am I supposed to obey
Speaker 2: all of these some of these? What is the purpose
Speaker 2: of the law? You know, the Torah aka the law
Speaker 2: does have laws in it, but it is fundamentally a
Speaker 2: story how God is creating a new kind of people
Speaker 2: fully able to love God and love others. Jesus taught
Speaker 2: about the Torah, you know, he was Jewish after all,
Speaker 2: and how he brought that story to fulfillment. So what's
Speaker 2: the overall story? The overall story? You know, Genesis God
Speaker 2: created humanity, and they rebelled, you know, with some help
Speaker 2: from the fallen angels and Satan himself of course. But
Speaker 2: God chooses Abraham to bless all the nations through his
Speaker 2: family who wound up in slavery in Egypt, and God
Speaker 2: rescues them. So then we arrive at Exodus. You know,
Speaker 2: Exodus is the rescue at Mount Sinai. God makes a covenant,
Speaker 2: which is an agreement with his people. The laws that
Speaker 2: Moses gives are the terms of that agreement, like a constitution.
Speaker 2: Some laws set Israel apart from other nations, some social
Speaker 2: justice and morality. But following this, Israel would show that
Speaker 2: other nations, show to other nations what God was like.
Speaker 2: And the Ten Commandments were the first. So before there
Speaker 2: is you know, he made the agreement. There's no transgressions
Speaker 2: yet it's a fresh, clean new slate. They get the
Speaker 2: Ten Commandments right, So right after this, Israel breaks those
Speaker 2: laws with the Golden Calf. So then we get into
Speaker 2: the book a little bit. I yeah, exactly, and then
Speaker 2: you get into Leviticus. You know, as a result, Moses
Speaker 2: gives some more laws, then more stories of rebellion than
Speaker 2: more laws go into numbers rebellion again, more laws. More
Speaker 2: rebellion equals what more laws? I think you guys just
Speaker 2: start to get the point here, right. The laws come
Speaker 2: because of transgressions. So when you get into Deuteronomy, the
Speaker 2: conclusion of the stories Moses giving is giving his speech
Speaker 2: to Israel as they prepare to enter the Promised Land,
Speaker 2: and he tells them he knows that they're not going
Speaker 2: to follow all of God's laws. You have proven yourselves incapable.
Speaker 2: The problem was that their hearts were hard. They were
Speaker 2: going to need a new and transformed heart if they
Speaker 2: were going to truly follow God's laws. And he was right.
Speaker 2: So then you get into Joshua through Kings, this goes
Speaker 2: on about all their total failures. They go into the land,
Speaker 2: they break the laws. You know, it's never ending cycle.
Speaker 2: It just keeps repeating itself all the way to today. Yeah,
Speaker 2: so it says the next section of this book is
Speaker 2: the book of the prophets. You got Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel,
Speaker 2: plus twelve other what they call minor prophets. You know,
Speaker 2: in the book, Ezekiel said, if they were going to
Speaker 2: ever obey God's law, he would have to transform their
Speaker 2: hearts into new soft hearts. The Book of Jeremiah said
Speaker 2: that It said that is when it wouldn't feel like
Speaker 2: a duty or chore, that they would want to and
Speaker 2: it would be written deep within their hearts. Then you've
Speaker 2: come to Isaiah promised a future leader, Israel's Messiah, would
Speaker 2: lead all of his people into obedience to the law. Together,
Speaker 2: all these books are called the prophets, even the historical
Speaker 2: ones Joshua through Ezekiel, and the twelve minor Prophets. They
Speaker 2: are continuing the story from the perspective of the prophets.
Speaker 2: The Old Testament, you know, which is the law, and
Speaker 2: then the prophets. So the Law and the Prophets is
Speaker 2: the Old Testament. Jesus saw himself as continuing that story,
Speaker 2: so he agreed with the laws and the prophets when
Speaker 2: he talked that's out of the human heart. That comes
Speaker 2: out is the ugliest parts of humanity. The default settings
Speaker 2: of our hearts is opposed to God's law. He came
Speaker 2: to solve that problem in his words, to fulfill the law,
Speaker 2: Jesus said, we could fulfill God's law with his greatest commandment,
Speaker 2: love God and love others. Love fulfills the law. So
Speaker 2: Jesus fulfilled this law by fooling loving God and others,
Speaker 2: thus showing the other nations what God was truly like
Speaker 2: where Israel had failed. So after the Resurrection, he sent
Speaker 2: the Holy Spirit to transform their hearts so they would
Speaker 2: follow him and fulfill the purpose of the law, love
Speaker 2: God and love others.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Well, I mean he did the ultimate show of
Speaker 3: love by diting for us on the cross.
Speaker 2: Amen.
Speaker 3: I mean, and I can't remember where the verse is,
Speaker 3: but there is a verse that as no greater is
Speaker 3: the love of one man dying for another.
Speaker 2: Yeah, life for his friends.
Speaker 3: Yeah. So, I mean, And the thing about about the
Speaker 3: whole thing is Jesus died on the cross, and at
Speaker 3: the end of his time on the cross, he said, Lord,
Speaker 3: why have you or Father, why have you forsaken me?
Speaker 3: I mean, he felt almost he knew he had to
Speaker 3: and he felt almost betrayed a little bit because he
Speaker 3: had to go through with it.
Speaker 2: Well, you know, I always thought with that, you know
Speaker 2: what I mean, Yeah, it was you know they say
Speaker 2: God cannot be around sin. At this point that Jesus
Speaker 2: actually was out sin. So he took all the world,
Speaker 2: so he got cut from the Father.
Speaker 3: Well, he couldn't look at them exactly, he couldn't be
Speaker 3: around them. So that's why have you? Why have you?
Speaker 3: Almost I mean, obviously we're we're all humans, and we're
Speaker 3: taking this as a human would take it. You know,
Speaker 3: we're not Jesus or God. It's almost like, why why
Speaker 3: did you turn away? When I needed you the most?
Speaker 3: I took all this sin on me and you turned away.
Speaker 3: That's that's the way I feel like, when I needed
Speaker 3: I took all the pain, the suffering, everything, and then
Speaker 3: you weren't there.
Speaker 2: Well, he was always in total communication with.
Speaker 3: The pallet of course.
Speaker 2: Yeah. So Jesus, that's one thing we tend to forget
Speaker 2: is that he was fully divine, but at the same
Speaker 2: time he was fully human.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he was still human. And therefore if he if
Speaker 3: he paid for our sin.
Speaker 2: What he did he said at the end, he said
Speaker 2: it is finished. Yeah, and he said and the veil
Speaker 2: was torn from top to bond.
Speaker 3: I'll get to that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, But one thing I want to say before we
Speaker 2: get started. I just got a few of the Old
Speaker 2: Testament stuff at the points that started. Yeah, we're just
Speaker 2: now getting their toes with we just we just now
Speaker 2: got a tip of the shovel in, but I'm not
Speaker 2: gonna lie. When I started this, it was kind of
Speaker 2: to prove a point because I see a lot of Christians,
Speaker 2: you know that that well, I would say a lot,
Speaker 2: but there's you know, some Christians that hold too that
Speaker 2: the Law is not dead, and especially Jewish people. So
Speaker 2: to me it was like I wanted to prove a point,
Speaker 2: you know.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: And then once I started, I was so humbled. I
Speaker 2: mean I was brought to tears the other night reading
Speaker 2: this because I actually seen all this from a new
Speaker 2: perspective for the first time. Right, it humbled me to
Speaker 2: my core. I thought that I was supposed to. I
Speaker 2: wouldn't obligated the follow the law, you know, I knew that,
Speaker 2: but it was like I wanted to do that to
Speaker 2: be a better imager of God.
Speaker 3: Right, okay, which is the whole purpose.
Speaker 2: And then when I got to studying and reading into
Speaker 2: these things, it humbled me to my core. It made
Speaker 2: me feel how flawed and imperfect of a person that
Speaker 2: I am. But I'm still giving this gift freely. I
Speaker 2: don't deserve it. There's nothing I could do to ever
Speaker 2: earn it, but it's given to me, and it did
Speaker 2: man it touched me, and I know, I know now
Speaker 2: what Isaiah was talking about about softening the heart and
Speaker 2: writing on your heart, because there's nothing legalistic about it.
Speaker 2: I want to do these things to please my heavenly father,
Speaker 2: who gives me the gifts that I know that I
Speaker 2: can never earn on my own.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and it did.
Speaker 2: Man, it just humble me.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you got me out of it.
Speaker 2: Where's the tissues we don't have?
Speaker 3: We're men here. Yeah, it says like you're thinking, But.
Speaker 2: It's crazy though, Like how the Old Testament all points
Speaker 2: that way, right, you know. Deuteronomy chapter thirty, verse six,
Speaker 2: it says, and the Lord your God will circumcise your
Speaker 2: heart and the heart of your offspring, so that you
Speaker 2: will love the Lord your God with all your heart
Speaker 2: and with all your soul, that you may live. You know,
Speaker 2: First Samuel chapter fifteen, verse twenty two. To obey is
Speaker 2: better than sacrifice. You know, this is all Old Testament
Speaker 2: when they were under the law. Psalms chapter forty, verse
Speaker 2: six through eight. In sacrifice and offering, you have no delight,
Speaker 2: but you have given me an open ear, burnt offerings
Speaker 2: and sin offerings you have not required. Then I said,
Speaker 2: behold I have come. In the scroll of the book.
Speaker 2: It is written of me. I delight to do your will.
Speaker 2: Oh my God, Your law is within my heart, you know.
Speaker 2: And I got three more Ezekiel chapter eleven, verse nineteen.
Speaker 2: I will give them a new heart and a new spirit,
Speaker 2: which is the Holy Spirit, the Helper will put within them.
Speaker 2: So even in Ezekiel Old Testament, they were talking about
Speaker 2: the coming of Jesus and the Holy Spirit. You know,
Speaker 2: Ezekiel chapter thirty six, verse twenty six. It's about you know.
Speaker 2: It's the repeated line from Ezekiel, just more emphasis added
Speaker 2: to it, you know. And then the last one I
Speaker 2: got Jeremiah, and Jeremiah chapter thirty one, verse thirty three.
Speaker 2: It says, for this is the covenant that I will
Speaker 2: make with the House of Israel after those days, declares
Speaker 2: to the Lord. I will put my law within them,
Speaker 2: and I will write in on their hearts, and I
Speaker 2: will be their God, and they shall be my people.
Speaker 2: And no longer shall each one teach his neighbor and
Speaker 2: each his brother, saying, know the Lord, for they shall
Speaker 2: all know Me, from the least of them to the greatest,
Speaker 2: declares to the Lord, For I will forgive their iniquity,
Speaker 2: and I will remember their sin no more. Now you're
Speaker 2: gonna get into.
Speaker 3: Your Yeah, looking at the Book of Galatians, which the
Speaker 3: entire book of Galatians is about the old law. So
Speaker 3: Paul went to would you call it Galicia? Yeah, which
Speaker 3: they're saying, which is like modern day Iraq area, which
Speaker 3: I've been there, and them what you told me in
Speaker 3: the text of that's important about the whole background of
Speaker 3: why he was writing the letter.
Speaker 2: You remember that video, Okay? What was going on behind
Speaker 2: his back? That why he fell he.
Speaker 3: So, so Paul went to Galatia and founded this church.
Speaker 3: Then he did it what they call him a tour whatever.
Speaker 3: He he went a bunch of different places, and then
Speaker 3: he went the same route again, or at least through
Speaker 3: Galatia again. And then I think he was he in
Speaker 3: Rome when he wrote this. I can't remember.
Speaker 2: I can't.
Speaker 3: He wasn't he wasn't there, Yeah, he wasn't there. So
Speaker 3: he wrote him a letter. Okay. So Paul addresses a
Speaker 3: problem with a group of people that's in this church
Speaker 3: of Galatia, so the people of Galatians, and he calls
Speaker 3: him a judaizer. Judaer is a person who believes you
Speaker 3: are saved through Jesus Christ, but is very legalistic, still
Speaker 3: has their Jewish backgrounds, so they were probably Jewish, and
Speaker 3: this is obviously in Gentile territory, but some Jewish people
Speaker 3: are there. So they're in the church spreading their little
Speaker 3: their little gossips and trying to turn the people with
Speaker 3: thou like a word against Paul.
Speaker 2: Kind of thing, and he don't have it all figured
Speaker 2: out right. Yeah, so he's only got half of it right.
Speaker 3: So let's see here, very Jewish background believes to the
Speaker 3: only way to be right with God is to come
Speaker 3: through Jesus, but also have to follow Jewish law, which
Speaker 3: is keeping all the laws, the holidays, the festivals, pretty
Speaker 3: much everything the Old Testament teaches. But also you have
Speaker 3: to have faith in Christ.
Speaker 2: So like Christ wouldn't enough.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, Christ, you have to believe that Jesus was
Speaker 3: died on the cross, but you still have to do
Speaker 3: all these other works. So is so obviously if you
Speaker 3: have a gift but still work.
Speaker 2: For it, it's no longer a gift, no longer a gift.
Speaker 2: And I got a story here later, you know, kind
Speaker 2: of to go more into that. But so Paul's addressing
Speaker 2: these judaizers and they're telling people that Jesus is not enough,
Speaker 2: that they also need you as law. Let's see here
Speaker 2: and what chapters stuff you end up?
Speaker 3: Well, okay, so this is Galatians. This is so Galatians
Speaker 3: is kind of split up in three different sections. If
Speaker 3: there's six chapters, so pretty much the first chapters one
Speaker 3: and two is is personal. He's pretty much defending himself.
Speaker 3: You know, this is what all I've done, This is
Speaker 3: what I've went through and stuff like that. Then chapter
Speaker 3: three and four is more uh doc doctornntle Oh gosh,
Speaker 3: what's that word?
Speaker 2: Doctrine? More about the.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, doctrine and then five chapters five and six
Speaker 3: is more practical. It kind of gives more explanation, I guess.
Speaker 3: And I'm just gonna basically let Paul tell you because
Speaker 3: he he does it pretty good. But uh so I
Speaker 3: wrote here, is it just Jesus or do we have
Speaker 3: to have do we have to have to add more?
Speaker 3: If we add more, then why did Jesus die? Right?
Speaker 3: And what happens after? And what happened after his death?
Speaker 3: This is like the veil? Okay, if you have to
Speaker 3: add works, then faith isn't good enough So who's gonna
Speaker 3: say that, right?
Speaker 2: It?
Speaker 3: If God won't good enough, we still have to do
Speaker 3: works and still have to do these things, right, then
Speaker 3: what's the point? Right? And then like we're talking about
Speaker 3: the veil right? So, so when when Jesus died, the
Speaker 3: veil in the temple ripped in two from top to bottom.
Speaker 3: And I don't remember where I heard this, but I've
Speaker 3: heard it when I was a child, Like the veil
Speaker 3: was four inches thick. Has anybody tried to rip a
Speaker 3: phone book? Paper is a whole lot easier to rip
Speaker 3: than fabric, So it is impossible for a man to
Speaker 3: rip four inch piece of fabric from top to boty.
Speaker 3: He had to climb up there first.
Speaker 2: And nothing is why would they want to what's behind?
Speaker 3: Yeah? So the veil separates the Holy of Holies from
Speaker 3: everything else in the temple, the presence of God. Right,
Speaker 3: So if it's ripped into you when Jesus dies, there
Speaker 3: is no boundary there. There is no because only the
Speaker 3: priest was allowed in there, and he had to do
Speaker 3: his own special sanctification, clean, clean, cleanse himself before he
Speaker 3: could even go in there.
Speaker 2: And Doug remember Doug saying that they'd even tie a
Speaker 2: rope around the priest just in case he got and clean,
Speaker 2: they could drag him.
Speaker 3: Yeah, because if you wasn't clean enough or you'd I
Speaker 3: guess you'd die. So they would tie a rope to
Speaker 3: them so they could get the body back out. I
Speaker 3: mean that would be kind of eerie. You go in there.
Speaker 3: I'm the seventy seventh you know, priest.
Speaker 2: I hope that they didn't have a freckle underneath his armpit.
Speaker 2: I didn't see and be like.
Speaker 3: Man, this' a lot. There's a lot of bones in there.
Speaker 3: But anyways, so and and but what happened, what what's happened?
Speaker 3: Right before we get into Galatians. They sold they sold
Speaker 3: the veiled back.
Speaker 2: They tried to, Yeah, but wanting to follow the.
Speaker 3: Law they wanted to they continued doing their the Jewish
Speaker 3: people who didn't believe, they continued doing their thing. But
Speaker 3: at the same time, the handkerchief that they put on
Speaker 3: the lamp turned white.
Speaker 2: It stopped. The talent, which was a Jewish who they
Speaker 2: documented everything, Yeah, stopped.
Speaker 3: So you have all these things that happened besides Jesus
Speaker 3: dying on the cross and doing all this stuff.
Speaker 2: Too much evidence.
Speaker 3: And the thing is Paul was alive during all this happening.
Speaker 3: Paul Paul was I mean this when he was named Saul,
Speaker 3: he persecuted Christians. His whole life's goal was to kill him.
Speaker 2: Well, he was a phariseeat. Yeah, he believed what they
Speaker 2: what the people he believed like them.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so and he uh like Justin was talking about
Speaker 3: a little video. If you get on YouTube, there's a
Speaker 3: guy named Skip hikes it.
Speaker 2: This dude's amazing.
Speaker 3: He's awesome. Well, he has a series, and me and
Speaker 3: me and one of the guys at work when we
Speaker 3: get time. I told him that we're going to start
Speaker 3: listening to one a day or one of you know,
Speaker 3: as often as we get a little free time, because
Speaker 3: everybody in an hour long, we're gonna I'm we're gonna
Speaker 3: listen to the whole durn thing. Well, he the series
Speaker 3: is called The Bible from thirty thousand Feet.
Speaker 2: So he got a book too. I looked at it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he gets into a lot too on on Galatians.
Speaker 3: Here we we I shared it with Justin. We watched
Speaker 3: it and it was really good. And then I also
Speaker 3: got right here. So if we have to do works right,
Speaker 3: so we believe you have died on the cross for
Speaker 3: our sins. We have the gift of the Holy Spirit,
Speaker 3: which Christ says is all we need, right, and that's
Speaker 3: what the whole New Testaments, the whole New Testament's talking
Speaker 3: about it. But we still need works. Well how much
Speaker 3: works Win's enough is is helping the old lady cross
Speaker 3: the street.
Speaker 2: Enough. Is a lot of scripture faith that that works
Speaker 2: is dead. Yeah, yeah, they coincide together, but it's it's
Speaker 2: it's an act of wanting to not illegalistic.
Speaker 3: You don't have to, but like like our preacher Doug said,
Speaker 3: a lot of us we're gonna make it into heaven
Speaker 3: with our robomb fire. You don't have to do works
Speaker 3: to get that to get to heaven. But if you're
Speaker 3: truly seeking God, then the works will come natural. It'll
Speaker 3: it'll all. Like Skip said in that video, it's like
Speaker 3: a tree. Have you ever walked among you know, around
Speaker 3: say he used apple tree, apple tree, right, and have
Speaker 3: you ever looked at that apple tree and it's sweating,
Speaker 3: it's moaning and groaning like, oh God, make this God,
Speaker 3: make these apples. No, that limb only has to be
Speaker 3: attached to the trunk of the tree. The fruit comes natural.
Speaker 3: It just happens, just kind of yeah, yeah, yeah, there's
Speaker 3: no there's no no work involved. So if you're attached
Speaker 3: to Christ, if you're reading your Bible every day, doing this,
Speaker 3: fruit will just happen. It's just it's just gonna right. Oh,
Speaker 3: that was perfect. I didn't even write it down. I
Speaker 3: was like, I'm not going to steal that, you know,
Speaker 3: I want to. Yeah, but it's it's kind of like,
Speaker 3: you know, I mean, it's the perfect example. Yeah, you know. Okay,
Speaker 3: So starting in chapter three.
Speaker 2: Saw that first chapter though, or the second chapter where
Speaker 2: he's basically given all his accolades and stuff like that,
Speaker 2: he touches on it. Yeah, you know, he said, we
Speaker 2: ourselves are Jews by births because like we talked about
Speaker 2: he was he said, so we ourselves are Jews by
Speaker 2: birth and not gentile sinners. Yet we know that a
Speaker 2: person is not justified by works of the law, but
Speaker 2: through faith in Jesus Christ. So we also have believed
Speaker 2: in Jesus Christ in order to be justified by faith
Speaker 2: in Christ and not by works of the law, because
Speaker 2: by works of the law, no one will be justified.
Speaker 3: Right. And then he gets into it, and what I'm
Speaker 3: getting at is the first three words missus. Chapter three,
Speaker 3: Chapter three, Oh, foolish Galatian. He got it wrong, he was, Yeah,
Speaker 3: he was. I think he was a little upset.
Speaker 2: Yeah, right, he just opened his church and told him
Speaker 2: that the truth. And then they walked away. And then
Speaker 2: he's they're influenced.
Speaker 3: By by you have these little false teachings. This said,
Speaker 3: likes bewitched you, it says, yeah, yeah, yeah it's it says,
Speaker 3: not little little witchcraft. This is in in the study Bible.
Speaker 3: Not little witchcraft, but enticing arguments, you know, like they're
Speaker 3: just you know, just manipulating just well yeah, I mean
Speaker 3: Jesus died, but you got the wrong voices, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3: And and what do we do? We all do it,
Speaker 3: you know, we all sit here and and and you know,
Speaker 3: we'll watch something or read something like, oh that's interesting.
Speaker 3: And the next thing, you know, you're thinking like they're thinking,
Speaker 3: even though they have nothing truly to back it up with.
Speaker 2: You're just relying off their interpretations in yourself.
Speaker 3: Right, And then and then next thing you know, you're
Speaker 3: going the wrong way, you know, And and you gotta
Speaker 3: be careful. You gotta have some discernment, you know, so.
Speaker 2: Because anybody can take verses out out of any book
Speaker 2: of the Bible and twist it. You can, you know,
Speaker 2: like the news today, I'll take a thirty minute interview
Speaker 2: and take two excerpts out of it and make it
Speaker 2: totally something that's not got. You gotta read everything around
Speaker 2: it and steady yourself. Don't take people's word for what
Speaker 2: they say.
Speaker 3: So it starts old full escalations. Who has cast an
Speaker 3: evil spell on you? For the meaning of Jesus Christ's
Speaker 3: death was made as clear to you as if you
Speaker 3: had seen a picture of his death on the cross.
Speaker 3: So that pretty much tells me, Paul. I mean, he
Speaker 3: explained it exactly how it happened. And they, you know,
Speaker 3: in school, they brought in that little little TV stand
Speaker 3: with the big TV and showed you a movie.
Speaker 2: Pretty much he made sure they knew the truth before
Speaker 2: he left. Right now, it's all twisted.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Let me ask you this this chapter or verse two,
Speaker 3: let me ask you this one question. Did you receive
Speaker 3: the Holy Spirit by obeying the law of Moses? Of
Speaker 3: course not. You received the spirit because you believed the
Speaker 3: message you heard about Christ. So believing in Christ, you
Speaker 3: get the Holy Spirit. Obeying the laws of Moses you
Speaker 3: get nothing. Okay, how foolish can you be after starting
Speaker 3: your new lives in the spirit, Why would you now
Speaker 3: trying to become perfect by your own human effort. Have
Speaker 3: you experienced so much for nothing? Or? Yeah, have you
Speaker 3: experienced so much for nothing? Surely it was not in vain,
Speaker 3: was it? I asked you again? Does God give you
Speaker 3: the Holy Spirit and work miracles among you because you
Speaker 3: obey the law? Of course not? It is because you
Speaker 3: believe the message you heard about Christ. In the same way, Abraham,
Speaker 3: the first Jew, he was a gentile before God come
Speaker 3: to Yep. Abraham believed God. And and at this point
Speaker 3: I want to say, it was about the children, wasn't that?
Speaker 3: His first promise was He's then give them children. And
Speaker 3: Abraham was like, I'm eighty something years old or seventy
Speaker 3: something years old. Then he said, step outside, look at
Speaker 3: the stars. If you can count them, that's how many righteousness? Right?
Speaker 3: And it said, and that's the thing, and it counted
Speaker 3: him as righteous because of his faith. Didn't even have
Speaker 3: the laws yet this was God's initial conversation with them.
Speaker 3: He believed God, so therefore God found him to be
Speaker 3: righteous in his faith. His belief of what God was
Speaker 3: telling them. The real children of Abraham, then, are those
Speaker 3: who put their faith in God, not his actual born
Speaker 3: of the blood of the womb children. He's talking about
Speaker 3: God's promise, which I mean Abraham could take it either way,
Speaker 3: I guess, but it was more of his spiritual brothers
Speaker 3: and sisters or children, you know, sons and daughters, the.
Speaker 2: One because it says in your name all nations shall
Speaker 2: be blessed.
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly. You know, the real children of Abraham is
Speaker 3: the one who put their faith in God. What more
Speaker 3: or once? What's more, the scripture looked forward, or the
Speaker 3: scriptures looked forward to the time when God would make
Speaker 3: the gentiles right in his sight because of their faith.
Speaker 3: God proclaimed his good news to Abraham long ago, and
Speaker 3: he said all nations will be blessed through you, like
Speaker 3: you just said all nations. So all who put their
Speaker 3: faith in Christ shall be the same blessing Abraham received
Speaker 3: because of his faith.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we are now adopted right verse ten?
Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, ten. But those who depend on the law
Speaker 3: to make them right with God are under his curse,
Speaker 3: under a curse to go back to a curse, I
Speaker 3: don't know, for the scriptures say cursed is everyone who
Speaker 3: does not observe and obey all the commandments that are
Speaker 3: written in God's Book of the Law. And like we
Speaker 3: said before, I'll read it again, cursed is everyone who
Speaker 3: does not observe and obey all the commandments that are
Speaker 3: written in God's Book of the Law. Nobody can do it.
Speaker 3: So everybody is cursed. We're all cursed. You can't do it,
Speaker 3: it's impossible. Okay. So he's saying, why why go back
Speaker 3: to the law when you're when it curses you, You're
Speaker 3: you're cursed if you that's the whole point of Jesus
Speaker 3: is to take the curse away.
Speaker 2: Okay, he becomes the cursed.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Well yeah, so it is clear that no one
Speaker 3: can be made right with God by trying to keep
Speaker 3: the law. For the scriptures say, and he's when he
Speaker 3: says the scriptures say, he's going back to Old Testament stuff.
Speaker 3: And he's telling you what the Old Testament says, which
Speaker 3: obviously to fulfill Yeah him. So, and as for the
Speaker 3: scripture say, it is through faith that a righteous person
Speaker 3: has life. Uh, that's the quote verse twelve. This this
Speaker 3: way of faith, Yeah, this way of faith is very
Speaker 3: different from the way of the law, which says quote
Speaker 3: Old Testament. He's quote Old Testament again. It is through
Speaker 3: obeying the law that a person has life, because you know,
Speaker 3: the wages of sin is death exactly. So if you
Speaker 3: obey the law, you have life. But once again, if if,
Speaker 3: if a big, if.
Speaker 2: All you follow all all breaking none.
Speaker 3: So even though, and I remember I can't remember where
Speaker 3: it says it, but it was it was almost as
Speaker 3: if the sacrifice, the sacrifices were not appealing to God.
Speaker 2: Oh no, like I said, but but it was.
Speaker 3: It was like.
Speaker 2: It was a band aid. It wasn't to fix. It
Speaker 2: was a band aid.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it didn't heal the problem. It just covered the problem.
Speaker 3: God Jesus healed the problem. He took care of it completely. Okay,
Speaker 3: let's see here the Christ has rescued us from the
Speaker 3: curse pronounced by the law when he was hung on
Speaker 3: the cross. This is what we said about earlier. When
Speaker 3: he was hung on the cross, he took, he took
Speaker 3: upon himself the curse of our wrongdoing, for it was
Speaker 3: written in scripture. He's quoting again. Cursed is everyone who
Speaker 3: was hung on a tree, And what was the cross?
Speaker 3: A tree? Through Christ, Jesus, God has blessed the gentiles
Speaker 3: with the same blessing he promised Abraham so that we
Speaker 3: who are believers might receive the promised the Holy Spirit
Speaker 3: through faith.
Speaker 2: Men, and thank God for it.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, So let's see here chapter four. So we
Speaker 3: got this is once again part of his doctrinal stuff
Speaker 3: before you go there. Well, I got something here highlighted
Speaker 3: which might be good.
Speaker 2: Because in the previous chapter, let's see verse seventeen, because
Speaker 2: you're going to four now, right, yeah, verse seventeen in
Speaker 2: that same chapter, chapter three. Yeah, Chapter three says this
Speaker 2: is what I mean. The law, which came four hundred
Speaker 2: and thirty years afterward, does not annull a covenant previously
Speaker 2: ratified by God so as to make the promise void.
Speaker 2: For if the inheritance comes by the law, it no
Speaker 2: longer comes by promise. But God gave it to Abraham
Speaker 2: by a promise. Why then the law it was added
Speaker 2: because of transgressions until the offspring should come to whom
Speaker 2: the promise had been made, and it was put in
Speaker 2: place through angels by intermediary. In the verse twenty three, Now,
Speaker 2: before faith came, we were held captive under the law,
Speaker 2: imprisoned until the coming Faith would be revealed. So then
Speaker 2: the law was our guardian until Christ came in order
Speaker 2: that we might be justified by faith. That the faith
Speaker 2: has come, we are no longer under a guardian. For
Speaker 2: in Jesus Christ you are all sons of God through faith.
Speaker 2: For as many of you as were baptized unto Christ
Speaker 2: have put on Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek.
Speaker 2: There is neither slave nor free. There is no male
Speaker 2: and female, for you are all one in Jesus Christ.
Speaker 3: God Jesus died on the Christ took care of the law.
Speaker 3: There is no more law because the law didn't help you.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you are slave to it.
Speaker 3: Chapter four. Think of it this way. If a father
Speaker 3: dies and leaves the inheritance, this is inheritance of his
Speaker 3: young children. Those children are not much better off than
Speaker 3: slaves until they grow up. Even though they actually own
Speaker 3: everything their father had, they have to obey their guardians
Speaker 3: until they reach whatever age that their father set to
Speaker 3: get their inheritance right. So if it was twenty five
Speaker 3: years old, they're stuck listening to whoever. So they're still slaves.
Speaker 3: And so it's saying the old law was like the guardian.
Speaker 3: It's there until Christ comes to set you free, you know.
Speaker 3: And that's the way it was with us before Christ came.
Speaker 3: That's exactly what I was saying. We were like children.
Speaker 3: We were slaves to the basic spiritual principles of this world.
Speaker 3: But when the right time came, God sent his son,
Speaker 3: born of a woman subject to the law. God sent
Speaker 3: him to buy freedom for us, who were slaves to
Speaker 3: the law, so that he would adopt us as his
Speaker 3: very own children. And because we were his children, God
Speaker 3: was sent. God has sent the spirit of his son
Speaker 3: into our hearts, the Holy Spirit, prompting us to call
Speaker 3: out of a father. Now we are no longer slaves,
Speaker 3: but God's own children. And since there are, since you
Speaker 3: are his children, God has made us his heir. But
Speaker 3: we no longer have to go by you know, We're
Speaker 3: not slaved to the guardians anymore. Okay, Before, before you,
Speaker 3: gentiles knew God, you were slaves to the so called
Speaker 3: lower case gods that do not even exist, right, They're
Speaker 3: not real God, they don't They're just something we made
Speaker 3: up or whatever. So now that you know God, uppercase
Speaker 3: g the real God, or should I say, now that
Speaker 3: God knows you, why do you want to go back again?
Speaker 3: And become slaves once more to the weak and useless
Speaker 3: spiritual principles of this world. You are trying to earn
Speaker 3: favor with God by observing certain days and months, seasons
Speaker 3: and years. I fear for you. Perhaps all my hard
Speaker 3: work with you was for nothing. Dear brothers and sisters.
Speaker 3: I plead with you to live as I do in
Speaker 3: freedom for these things, for I have become like you, gentiles,
Speaker 3: free from those laws. Okay, I'm gonna move on down
Speaker 3: to verse twenty one. This is talking about the two children,
Speaker 3: Abraham's two children. Tell me, you who want to live
Speaker 3: under the law, do you know what the law actually says?
Speaker 3: The scriptures say that Abraham had two sons, one from
Speaker 3: his slave wife, so I believe that's his wife's handmaiden or.
Speaker 2: Something, right Ishmael's yeah.
Speaker 3: Okay, and one from his free born wife, so his
Speaker 3: actual wife. Okay. The son of the slave wife was
Speaker 3: born in a human attempted to bring about the fulfillment
Speaker 3: of God's promise. Okay. So Abraham was promised they'd have
Speaker 3: children at his old age, and he was like, hey,
Speaker 3: you know, we've been trying. And his wife was Sarah, right,
Speaker 3: his wife Sarah.
Speaker 2: Just as fulfill the law, please God, Yeah, I thought
Speaker 2: he could.
Speaker 3: Well, we're trying to do our own things, you know,
Speaker 3: if we can put our own spin on it. You know,
Speaker 3: we want to do stuff our way. And my wife
Speaker 3: would ever tell me this. She said, why don't you
Speaker 3: go over there and have you know, relations, I'm barren,
Speaker 3: so yeah, go have relations. Take my handmaiden whatever she was,
Speaker 3: and they're born a son. Okay. But the son of
Speaker 3: the freeborn wife, which later on Sarah got pregnant, was
Speaker 3: born as God's own fulfillment for his promise. These two
Speaker 3: women serve as an illustration of God's two covenants. The
Speaker 3: first woman, Hagar, which was the slave wife, represented Mount Sinai,
Speaker 3: where people received the law that enslaved them. Okay. And
Speaker 3: now Jerusalem is like Mount Sinai in Arabia okay, because
Speaker 3: she and her children live in slavery to the law.
Speaker 3: But the woman Sarah represents the heavenly Jerusalem. She was
Speaker 3: a free woman, and she was a mother or she
Speaker 3: and she is our mother. As Isaiah said, rejoice, old children,
Speaker 3: old childless woman. Excuse me, rejews, Rejoice, old childish woman,
Speaker 3: you who have never given birth, break into a joyful shout,
Speaker 3: for you have never been in labor. For the soul
Speaker 3: desolate woman now has more children than the woman who
Speaker 3: lives with her husband. And you, dear brothers and sisters,
Speaker 3: are children of the promise, just like Isaiah or Isaac.
Speaker 3: Excuse me, just like Isaac, because you are now being
Speaker 3: persecuted by those who want you to keep the law.
Speaker 3: Once again, he's saying, the laws no longer just as Ishmael,
Speaker 3: the child born by human effort because they took it
Speaker 3: upon themselves, persecuted Isaac, the child born by the power
Speaker 3: of the spirit, because Isaac was Sarah's boy. But what
Speaker 3: do the scriptures say about that? Get rid of the
Speaker 3: slave and her son. For the son of the slave
Speaker 3: woman will not share the inheritance with the free woman son. So,
Speaker 3: dear brothers and sisters, we are not children of the
Speaker 3: slave woman. We are children of the free woman. So
Speaker 3: therefore we no longer need the old law to be
Speaker 3: this woman.
Speaker 2: We don't need the tutor no more than.
Speaker 3: Right Chapter five, verse one. So Christ was truly set
Speaker 3: truly as set as free. Now make sure you stay
Speaker 3: free and do not get tied up again in slavery
Speaker 3: of the law.
Speaker 2: You don't have these judaizers make you go.
Speaker 3: Backwards right exactly, Listen, listen, I Paul tell you this.
Speaker 3: If you are counting on circumcism to make you right
Speaker 3: with God, then Christ will be no benefit to you.
Speaker 3: Which circumcision was one of the one of the laws,
Speaker 3: and Abraham did it when he was ninety nine years old.
Speaker 3: I'll say again, if you are trying to find favor
Speaker 3: with God by being circumcised, you must obey every regulation
Speaker 3: in the Law of Moses, because that is, if you're
Speaker 3: doing the laws, then you must do all the laws.
Speaker 3: For if you are trying to make yourselves right with
Speaker 3: God by keeping the law, you must be cut off
Speaker 3: from Christ because the old law is different than what
Speaker 3: Christ said. Right, you have fallen away from God's grace.
Speaker 3: It's not what I say, That's what Paul is saying
Speaker 3: right here verse four, which.
Speaker 2: And thoughy I think is just so profound, is he
Speaker 2: was a Jew.
Speaker 3: He was a Jew.
Speaker 2: Not only was he a Jew, he was a Pharisee.
Speaker 2: They persecuted Christians exactly if something changed his mind, right.
Speaker 3: Let's go down here to chapter thirteen, or not chapter
Speaker 3: verse thirteen. If you've been called to live in freedom,
Speaker 3: my brothers and sisters, But don't use your freedom to
Speaker 3: satisfy your sinful nature. Right, So you're called to freedom,
Speaker 3: but don't use your free other words kind of like
Speaker 3: what we're saying. You know, if if the law is dead,
Speaker 3: so what I want we'll see this is this is where,
Speaker 3: this is where my whole thing of even the Ten commandments, right, Obviously,
Speaker 3: murdering people is wrong. So don't use your your freedom.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 3: But oh I'm saved. I didn't go kill this guy.
Speaker 3: He he cut me off. No, that's not what's no,
Speaker 3: not at all. Okay. Don't use your freedom to satisfy
Speaker 3: your sinful nature, because we all have. That's it. That's humans.
Speaker 3: We are all sinful. We can't help it. We just
Speaker 3: try our best not to. Okay. Instead, use your freedom
Speaker 3: to serve one another in love, just like you said,
Speaker 3: in love. Okay, for the whole law can be summed
Speaker 3: up in this one. In this one command, love your
Speaker 3: neighbor as yourself. That's all that take. If you're loving
Speaker 3: your neighbor, you're not gonna kill him. If you're not
Speaker 3: loving your neighbor, you're not gonna take his wife or
Speaker 3: steal his car. Because that's not love.
Speaker 2: Yep.
Speaker 3: So the whole entire law can be summed up with
Speaker 3: love your neighbor as yourself.
Speaker 2: And that's what Jesus said, love the law.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but if you are always biting and devouring one another,
Speaker 3: watch out, beware of destroying one another. So I say,
Speaker 3: let the Holy Spirit guide our lives. Then you won't
Speaker 3: be doing the sinful nature craves, as in, you know
Speaker 3: less than after women or men, if you're women, whatever,
Speaker 3: you know, the opposite sex.
Speaker 2: We'll get to that analogy you was talking about. You
Speaker 2: got back from Iraq.
Speaker 3: So yeah, okay, so it was my second tour in Iraq.
Speaker 3: My time was up in the army my four year.
Speaker 3: I did my four years or almost in my four years.
Speaker 3: I had to come back and get out. I was
Speaker 3: not re enlisting, so I got to come back early
Speaker 3: from Iraq. We pulled out of Iraq in twenty twelve
Speaker 3: Christmas time. Our lovely president at the time, Obama, said
Speaker 3: that we'd all be home for Christmas. That no, we
Speaker 3: might have been out of Iraq before Christmas, but I'm
Speaker 3: pretty sure we celebrate Christmas drinking fake beer because that
Speaker 3: was the only other thing but water. I think they
Speaker 3: might have had gatorade. They might have had coke. I
Speaker 3: don't remember, but we all bought We all went in
Speaker 3: and bought like a case of the fake on alcoholic
Speaker 3: beer to just celebrate, you know, because I mean, nobody
Speaker 3: really got hurt that tour. You know, everything didn't at
Speaker 3: least in our group. You know, we survived, right, So,
Speaker 3: but we had Christmas there in Kuwait, right. Well, I
Speaker 3: think it was March February, March. Maybe I flew home. Well,
Speaker 3: I flew home with a contractor flight, so I think
Speaker 3: it might have been me and maybe Ell are three
Speaker 3: other military guys. The rest were all contractor people, cooks
Speaker 3: and whatever they did, intelligence whatever they did, but was
Speaker 3: contracted to the civilian side of of the world, I
Speaker 3: guess you call it. So we didn't land on our
Speaker 3: normal stops, right so, which I was still uniform because
Speaker 3: I didn't have any clothes because I was over there,
Speaker 3: you know. So we landed in Indianapolis, Indiana, So I
Speaker 3: had like a four hour layover. And if it's a
Speaker 3: military flight, you land, you up and go. If you
Speaker 3: get off the plane, you get off the plane in
Speaker 3: a little room and get back on the plane, you know,
Speaker 3: because you have your weapons use on a military flight.
Speaker 3: This flight didn't have my you know, I left it there.
Speaker 3: So I landed there and I went to this little
Speaker 3: pizzeria place. It was the only thing that looked good enough.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 3: Well I was appetizing, I guess like that had little
Speaker 3: seunnch shops and this and that, Like you know, I'm
Speaker 3: looking for like a steakhouse, you know, at an airport something,
Speaker 3: you know them fancy or bigger airports you know, have
Speaker 3: actually decent restaurants in them. Well, where I was, it
Speaker 3: was just a little pizzaia place. So I go in there,
Speaker 3: and once again I wasn't living right at this time.
Speaker 3: You know. I ordered me a couple jack and cokes,
Speaker 3: you know, just unwinding order my food and all this,
Speaker 3: and I go to pay, and the lady was like, hey,
Speaker 3: you've been paid for right. So it's like Christ, you know,
Speaker 3: Christ paid for paid my my my dues. You know,
Speaker 3: my dues are rotten hell right, That's what I what
Speaker 3: I owe from my sins and everything else. But Christ
Speaker 3: paid my bill for me. Okay, So so what do
Speaker 3: I do with that? You know, if I try to
Speaker 3: add works to it, well, let me go wash dishes
Speaker 3: or let me let me clean your bathroom.
Speaker 2: It'll make me feel better.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, because because I got to do something, I
Speaker 3: can't just have it give to me. That's pride, and
Speaker 3: it is pride. But what's the gift. You just took
Speaker 3: that gift and shoved it down the toilet.
Speaker 2: And insulted the person you give it to you.
Speaker 3: Exactly, So, so that's the same, you know, I guess
Speaker 3: a little analogy. That's the kind of you know, if
Speaker 3: I tried to do something to up their gift or
Speaker 3: to top their gift.
Speaker 2: Like, hey, could I add two more pizzas to that?
Speaker 3: Oh? Yeah, I'm shoot. I want how much money? How
Speaker 3: much money they give you? Let me get some more drinks,
Speaker 3: you know exactly. That's kind of goes back to the
Speaker 3: whole you know, even though you don't let your oh
Speaker 3: where was it? Don't let your faith anyhow, I don't
Speaker 3: know where it was.
Speaker 2: But yeah, just like Paul says repeated that I can uh. Oh,
Speaker 2: he tells you Hebrews and Romans, you know, so are
Speaker 2: you free to just keep on sending by no means?
Speaker 3: Of course?
Speaker 2: He says that repeatedly. Yea, you know, just because your
Speaker 2: bills paid for it doesn't mean you rack it up.
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly. So anyhow, I hope that kind of helped.
Speaker 2: Yeah, which will Uh. I think that's a good stopping point,
Speaker 2: and we'll pick back up part two and we'll dive
Speaker 2: into the Book of Hebrews.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 2: That's one of my favorite books and talks about Christ
Speaker 2: as the priest uh and even goes into a Melkisa
Speaker 2: deck and see how he comes into play in all this.
