00:00:00.320 --> 00:00:03.759
<v Speaker 1>You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.

2
00:00:06.480 --> 00:00:12.240
<v Speaker 2>Competition, just like any other aspect of life, can be

3
00:00:12.320 --> 00:00:18.199
<v Speaker 2>either healthy or unhealthy depending on the application. Make no

4
00:00:18.320 --> 00:00:22.440
<v Speaker 2>mistake about it. Competition is at the heart of the

5
00:00:22.519 --> 00:00:25.879
<v Speaker 2>human experience, and that's a good thing. The desire to

6
00:00:26.199 --> 00:00:32.159
<v Speaker 2>press on, to push forward. That competitive spirit is definitely

7
00:00:33.359 --> 00:00:37.439
<v Speaker 2>of God. But as a Christian, it must be applied

8
00:00:37.439 --> 00:00:42.119
<v Speaker 2>to your life in a godly fashion. If not, it

9
00:00:42.159 --> 00:00:45.560
<v Speaker 2>can take a hold of you. It can be become

10
00:00:45.640 --> 00:00:51.399
<v Speaker 2>something altogether different in your life, something that becomes problematic,

11
00:00:52.719 --> 00:00:58.960
<v Speaker 2>even harmful. Competition is certainly in the air today, and

12
00:00:59.840 --> 00:01:04.439
<v Speaker 2>you can feel this excitement as millions of Americans and

13
00:01:04.840 --> 00:01:08.319
<v Speaker 2>people from all over the world really gather around their

14
00:01:08.359 --> 00:01:17.159
<v Speaker 2>TVs with this anticipation of their team securing the win. Now,

15
00:01:17.159 --> 00:01:22.359
<v Speaker 2>the very definition of competition means a contest in which

16
00:01:23.040 --> 00:01:26.439
<v Speaker 2>a winner is selected from among two or more entrants.

17
00:01:27.719 --> 00:01:31.959
<v Speaker 2>So this means by that definition that there will there'll

18
00:01:32.000 --> 00:01:35.519
<v Speaker 2>be a winner, and of course they'll be a loser.

19
00:01:38.760 --> 00:01:44.040
<v Speaker 2>So in a case like the Super Bowl, competition is

20
00:01:44.079 --> 00:01:47.719
<v Speaker 2>that propellant. It propels each member of the opposing team

21
00:01:47.879 --> 00:01:52.640
<v Speaker 2>to train, to work hard so that they may excel

22
00:01:53.719 --> 00:01:57.040
<v Speaker 2>in their performance for this particular big game or any game.

23
00:01:59.319 --> 00:02:01.000
<v Speaker 1>This oftentimes.

24
00:02:01.040 --> 00:02:05.000
<v Speaker 2>I know that athletics can go down an unhealthy path

25
00:02:05.040 --> 00:02:09.439
<v Speaker 2>at times, but more often than not, this is a

26
00:02:09.479 --> 00:02:14.039
<v Speaker 2>healthy display of the competitive spirit, that spirit that does

27
00:02:14.159 --> 00:02:17.039
<v Speaker 2>push you, that does propel makes you want to be better,

28
00:02:18.319 --> 00:02:20.639
<v Speaker 2>not so you're better than the other person in some

29
00:02:20.680 --> 00:02:25.400
<v Speaker 2>sort of state of judgment that they're actually less than you,

30
00:02:27.599 --> 00:02:32.479
<v Speaker 2>but that competitive spirit, that ability to push on and

31
00:02:32.560 --> 00:02:38.840
<v Speaker 2>push forward and build your muscles stronger, make yourself quicker,

32
00:02:40.840 --> 00:02:43.479
<v Speaker 2>be able to be more accurate when throwing a ball,

33
00:02:43.520 --> 00:02:46.400
<v Speaker 2>when catching a ball, That all these things are about

34
00:02:46.639 --> 00:02:55.960
<v Speaker 2>training your body by way of discipline, to do beneficial things. So,

35
00:02:56.000 --> 00:03:01.199
<v Speaker 2>if you're involved in sports, and today's obviously a huge

36
00:03:01.240 --> 00:03:06.639
<v Speaker 2>sports day, that many of you watching the Big Game

37
00:03:06.719 --> 00:03:10.599
<v Speaker 2>are really focused on the fact that this is a

38
00:03:10.639 --> 00:03:16.800
<v Speaker 2>place where athletes come together to push themselves beyond normal

39
00:03:16.879 --> 00:03:24.960
<v Speaker 2>limits to achieve a goal. That's the competitive spirit in

40
00:03:25.039 --> 00:03:30.840
<v Speaker 2>a healthy place. But there is an unhealthy side to

41
00:03:30.919 --> 00:03:34.479
<v Speaker 2>competition as well, one that drives people by way of

42
00:03:35.039 --> 00:03:40.159
<v Speaker 2>jealousy and envy that only leads to despair and destruction.

43
00:03:42.159 --> 00:03:45.319
<v Speaker 2>This is not the competitive spirit, but the spirit of

44
00:03:45.479 --> 00:03:51.199
<v Speaker 2>pride and conceit. The Father certainly does not approve of

45
00:03:51.240 --> 00:03:56.280
<v Speaker 2>this kind of competition, James four to six says, but

46
00:03:56.400 --> 00:04:00.400
<v Speaker 2>he gives more grace. Therefore, it says, God opposes the proud,

47
00:04:00.479 --> 00:04:08.800
<v Speaker 2>but gives grace to the humble. Giving that grace to

48
00:04:08.879 --> 00:04:13.240
<v Speaker 2>the humble is showing that there there is a place

49
00:04:14.159 --> 00:04:17.240
<v Speaker 2>for you to be competitive, but to still be in

50
00:04:17.319 --> 00:04:21.839
<v Speaker 2>that that that place of humility, knowing that you're pushing

51
00:04:21.920 --> 00:04:27.480
<v Speaker 2>your limits, knowing that that as a creation of God,

52
00:04:29.319 --> 00:04:34.839
<v Speaker 2>that I designed you to desire to propel yourself and excel,

53
00:04:38.240 --> 00:04:42.839
<v Speaker 2>but to also be of a humble spirit. Because when

54
00:04:42.879 --> 00:04:45.160
<v Speaker 2>you latch onto pride, when you get to that place

55
00:04:45.600 --> 00:04:50.800
<v Speaker 2>of pride, you invite ugliness, that jealousy, that justice. It's

56
00:04:50.839 --> 00:04:56.720
<v Speaker 2>not even it's not even competition. It's just you wanting

57
00:04:56.759 --> 00:05:02.399
<v Speaker 2>to push others down, to push yourself forward. Says if

58
00:05:02.399 --> 00:05:06.160
<v Speaker 2>you would lie, cheater steel to get to that place,

59
00:05:06.199 --> 00:05:09.279
<v Speaker 2>it doesn't even matter how you get there. And to

60
00:05:09.360 --> 00:05:15.439
<v Speaker 2>the real athlete, to the real individual with the proper

61
00:05:16.759 --> 00:05:23.040
<v Speaker 2>competitive spirit, you want to do things right, you don't

62
00:05:23.040 --> 00:05:27.160
<v Speaker 2>do it the right way, it doesn't count. These two

63
00:05:27.160 --> 00:05:34.199
<v Speaker 2>different paths or patterns of competition can be seen throughout

64
00:05:34.519 --> 00:05:38.360
<v Speaker 2>all kinds of walks of life, not just in athletics.

65
00:05:39.680 --> 00:05:42.920
<v Speaker 2>But you can see where people tried to even apply

66
00:05:43.600 --> 00:05:47.439
<v Speaker 2>athletics in a positive way, when when even the world

67
00:05:47.519 --> 00:05:54.800
<v Speaker 2>itself was teetering from wars and arguments and ugliness. The

68
00:05:54.879 --> 00:05:58.279
<v Speaker 2>original Olympics were abolished in three ninety three a d.

69
00:06:00.600 --> 00:06:02.560
<v Speaker 2>But if you look and see the timeline, you'll see

70
00:06:02.560 --> 00:06:06.959
<v Speaker 2>that about fifteen hundred years later, in the eighteen nineties,

71
00:06:07.000 --> 00:06:12.000
<v Speaker 2>a young Frenchman actually set out to revive the Olympics,

72
00:06:12.480 --> 00:06:17.680
<v Speaker 2>and he used this pitch. Let us export our oarsmen,

73
00:06:18.360 --> 00:06:24.079
<v Speaker 2>our runners, our fencers into other lands. That is the

74
00:06:24.199 --> 00:06:28.000
<v Speaker 2>true free trade of the future, and the day it

75
00:06:28.079 --> 00:06:31.160
<v Speaker 2>is introduced into Europe, the cause of peace will have

76
00:06:31.279 --> 00:06:32.519
<v Speaker 2>received a new.

77
00:06:33.120 --> 00:06:34.720
<v Speaker 1>And strong ally.

78
00:06:34.920 --> 00:06:39.519
<v Speaker 2>This young visionary saw the importance of replacing the negative

79
00:06:39.920 --> 00:06:44.040
<v Speaker 2>the inter country competition of war, with a new, healthy

80
00:06:44.160 --> 00:06:49.959
<v Speaker 2>inter country competition centered on athleticism, a tradition that continues

81
00:06:50.000 --> 00:06:54.399
<v Speaker 2>with the Olympics even to this day. This points to

82
00:06:54.439 --> 00:07:00.160
<v Speaker 2>someone who desired a healthy form of competition. This young

83
00:07:00.240 --> 00:07:05.600
<v Speaker 2>man saw that the competitive spirit had moved from a

84
00:07:05.680 --> 00:07:16.639
<v Speaker 2>place of learning, of discipline, of growing in understanding, and

85
00:07:16.759 --> 00:07:24.959
<v Speaker 2>had become this jealous or prideful excuse for war. He thought,

86
00:07:25.000 --> 00:07:28.680
<v Speaker 2>instead of countries actually fighting against each other, tearing each

87
00:07:28.680 --> 00:07:36.759
<v Speaker 2>other down, why not compete in a healthy way, propelling

88
00:07:37.160 --> 00:07:43.639
<v Speaker 2>one another by way of competition. God wants you to

89
00:07:43.720 --> 00:07:48.199
<v Speaker 2>have a healthy competitive heart, one that pushes you to win,

90
00:07:49.759 --> 00:07:54.000
<v Speaker 2>but also to win righteously, to be in a place

91
00:07:54.040 --> 00:07:58.000
<v Speaker 2>where you win at all costs, and that it's really

92
00:07:58.040 --> 00:08:04.920
<v Speaker 2>not about the challenge itself, but it's more about putting

93
00:08:04.920 --> 00:08:10.040
<v Speaker 2>yourself on a pedestal, making yourself look better than someone else,

94
00:08:10.839 --> 00:08:17.879
<v Speaker 2>putting someone else down. How is God going to How

95
00:08:17.959 --> 00:08:23.399
<v Speaker 2>is God going to bless that? Why would God bless that?

96
00:08:26.480 --> 00:08:31.040
<v Speaker 2>You hear stories of sportsmanship, good healthy sportsmanship, and you

97
00:08:31.120 --> 00:08:35.759
<v Speaker 2>hear stories of ugliness. There's even penalties on the field

98
00:08:36.519 --> 00:08:41.039
<v Speaker 2>in all in all types of sports because of bad

99
00:08:41.080 --> 00:08:44.360
<v Speaker 2>sportsmanship or not playing by the rules. That's why the

100
00:08:44.399 --> 00:08:49.759
<v Speaker 2>referees are there right to look on the judge the

101
00:08:49.799 --> 00:08:53.799
<v Speaker 2>movements on the field to see who is winning fairly,

102
00:08:55.879 --> 00:08:59.799
<v Speaker 2>because that's what should dictate whether the win is worth anything.

103
00:09:03.440 --> 00:09:08.759
<v Speaker 2>So you have this competitive spirit you want God to bless.

104
00:09:09.720 --> 00:09:14.320
<v Speaker 2>But if you go about pursuing the things you want

105
00:09:14.360 --> 00:09:19.000
<v Speaker 2>in life, pushing yourself in a way that is healthy.

106
00:09:20.159 --> 00:09:23.159
<v Speaker 2>God will be there by your side the entirety of

107
00:09:23.200 --> 00:09:31.080
<v Speaker 2>the way, coaching, instructing, encouraging. However, if you push the

108
00:09:31.159 --> 00:09:35.440
<v Speaker 2>rules aside, only being in that place of pride, only

109
00:09:36.080 --> 00:09:40.720
<v Speaker 2>desiring this so called win, that is when it becomes

110
00:09:41.320 --> 00:09:49.279
<v Speaker 2>an ungodly spirit of competition. Lisa, Welcome to the Jesus

111
00:09:49.360 --> 00:09:51.039
<v Speaker 2>Christ Show. Thank you.

112
00:09:52.399 --> 00:09:55.159
<v Speaker 3>My question is should Christians pat through their bodies?

113
00:09:56.360 --> 00:09:59.519
<v Speaker 1>Well? Should they? Or can they? Should they?

114
00:10:00.120 --> 00:10:00.879
<v Speaker 3>Into scriptures?

115
00:10:00.879 --> 00:10:02.080
<v Speaker 1>Should they? Should they?

116
00:10:02.200 --> 00:10:05.600
<v Speaker 2>Is going to be an individual choice because there's nothing

117
00:10:05.639 --> 00:10:10.600
<v Speaker 2>in the Bible that says they cannot. There is Leviticus

118
00:10:10.759 --> 00:10:14.679
<v Speaker 2>nineteen goes through some religious laws that some people get

119
00:10:14.679 --> 00:10:20.200
<v Speaker 2>confused about. That says, in verse twenty eight, you shall

120
00:10:20.279 --> 00:10:22.679
<v Speaker 2>not make any cuts in your body for the dead,

121
00:10:22.799 --> 00:10:25.240
<v Speaker 2>nor make any tattoo marks on yourselves.

122
00:10:25.679 --> 00:10:26.480
<v Speaker 1>I am the Lord.

123
00:10:27.399 --> 00:10:30.960
<v Speaker 2>The verse there is actually talking about a practice. As

124
00:10:31.000 --> 00:10:33.639
<v Speaker 2>a matter of fact, most of these in Leviticus are

125
00:10:33.639 --> 00:10:37.159
<v Speaker 2>talking about a practice that the Pagans were doing that

126
00:10:37.240 --> 00:10:40.480
<v Speaker 2>our Jewish brothers and sisters didn't want to be associated

127
00:10:40.519 --> 00:10:44.000
<v Speaker 2>with and wanted us to look as different as possible

128
00:10:44.759 --> 00:10:48.000
<v Speaker 2>from them, And this would fall into the same.

129
00:10:49.320 --> 00:10:49.919
<v Speaker 1>Category.

130
00:10:50.120 --> 00:10:53.480
<v Speaker 2>Now, people that have problems with it, would have problems

131
00:10:53.519 --> 00:10:57.919
<v Speaker 2>with other parts of it too, because just above it

132
00:10:57.919 --> 00:11:00.279
<v Speaker 2>it says you shall not round off the side growth

133
00:11:00.320 --> 00:11:02.519
<v Speaker 2>of your head, nor harm the edges of your beard.

134
00:11:03.440 --> 00:11:05.480
<v Speaker 2>So if you shaved, you'd be falling into the same

135
00:11:05.559 --> 00:11:10.120
<v Speaker 2>category of tattoos. Then also, the word used for cut

136
00:11:10.840 --> 00:11:13.879
<v Speaker 2>would be the same that you'd use for pierce. So

137
00:11:13.960 --> 00:11:16.399
<v Speaker 2>any woman that pierces her ears would now have problems.

138
00:11:16.440 --> 00:11:19.799
<v Speaker 2>So any man that shaves, or any woman that pierces

139
00:11:19.799 --> 00:11:23.159
<v Speaker 2>her ears would now have a problem, not just the tattooing.

140
00:11:25.000 --> 00:11:27.519
<v Speaker 2>So really, when it's speaking about tattooing here, it's not

141
00:11:27.840 --> 00:11:31.039
<v Speaker 2>it's speaking about a process that was done to the

142
00:11:31.080 --> 00:11:34.840
<v Speaker 2>dead or for the dead by Pagans, and that it

143
00:11:34.879 --> 00:11:38.559
<v Speaker 2>should not be brought to pass by Christians. But having

144
00:11:38.639 --> 00:11:43.320
<v Speaker 2>a tattoo for a Christian is not inherently wrong. It

145
00:11:43.399 --> 00:11:47.080
<v Speaker 2>depends on the content, of course, but it's not inherently

146
00:11:47.120 --> 00:11:49.360
<v Speaker 2>wrong for a Christian to have a tattoo.

147
00:11:50.919 --> 00:11:52.799
<v Speaker 1>All right, thank you, you're welcome.

148
00:11:54.080 --> 00:11:56.399
<v Speaker 2>How come I got the impression that maybe that's not

149
00:11:56.480 --> 00:12:01.200
<v Speaker 2>the answer she was looking for. Sometimes pick up on subtleties,

150
00:12:02.440 --> 00:12:03.720
<v Speaker 2>tiny little subtleties.

151
00:12:04.879 --> 00:12:06.039
<v Speaker 1>That's kind of what I do here.

152
00:12:08.320 --> 00:12:11.240
<v Speaker 2>But the Bible is filled with many things, and the

153
00:12:12.159 --> 00:12:15.120
<v Speaker 2>best advice I can give you is to see that

154
00:12:15.159 --> 00:12:18.480
<v Speaker 2>the entirety of the Bible and understand that there's a

155
00:12:18.480 --> 00:12:24.039
<v Speaker 2>difference between prescription and description. These are two very important

156
00:12:24.600 --> 00:12:26.399
<v Speaker 2>principles I want you to hear, and I want you

157
00:12:26.440 --> 00:12:32.000
<v Speaker 2>to understand the difference between a difference between prescriptive language

158
00:12:32.320 --> 00:12:37.480
<v Speaker 2>and descriptive language. Descriptive language is Jesus woke walked up

159
00:12:37.480 --> 00:12:39.480
<v Speaker 2>a hill. Now if I walked up a hill, I

160
00:12:39.519 --> 00:12:44.799
<v Speaker 2>walked up a hill. There's nothing really to be done.

161
00:12:45.000 --> 00:12:54.679
<v Speaker 2>It's describing something that happened. If it's prescriptive, there's an admonishment,

162
00:12:57.080 --> 00:13:00.000
<v Speaker 2>there's a statement of understanding, this is what you should

163
00:13:00.080 --> 00:13:04.000
<v Speaker 2>or this is what you should not do. And with

164
00:13:04.039 --> 00:13:06.279
<v Speaker 2>the Christian it gets even more difficult because now you

165
00:13:06.519 --> 00:13:09.440
<v Speaker 2>are looking into what you refer to as the Old Testament,

166
00:13:09.759 --> 00:13:11.840
<v Speaker 2>and you're seeing things in there that are based on

167
00:13:11.960 --> 00:13:16.399
<v Speaker 2>context of things that were going into the lives of

168
00:13:16.440 --> 00:13:20.960
<v Speaker 2>our Jewish brothers and sisters, and they were trying to

169
00:13:21.000 --> 00:13:27.000
<v Speaker 2>abolish appearing to look like your average every day he

170
00:13:27.120 --> 00:13:34.440
<v Speaker 2>then who did whatever. There most certainly are rules to

171
00:13:34.519 --> 00:13:40.159
<v Speaker 2>live by, and scripture is filled with them filled with plenty,

172
00:13:40.440 --> 00:13:43.159
<v Speaker 2>oh polenty. There's more than ten commandments. Let me assure

173
00:13:43.200 --> 00:13:47.440
<v Speaker 2>you it's not just ten. There are over four hundred

174
00:13:47.480 --> 00:13:55.960
<v Speaker 2>commandments in scripture, and to hear those and to respond

175
00:13:55.960 --> 00:14:03.600
<v Speaker 2>to them is wonderful. However, don't get lost. Don't get

176
00:14:03.639 --> 00:14:06.879
<v Speaker 2>lost in some of the statements, some of the descriptions

177
00:14:06.919 --> 00:14:11.320
<v Speaker 2>of things going on, and assume them to be prescribed

178
00:14:12.000 --> 00:14:15.519
<v Speaker 2>telling you you must because there is a difference, and

179
00:14:15.559 --> 00:14:17.720
<v Speaker 2>there's some that have been pulled over through the entirety

180
00:14:17.720 --> 00:14:21.919
<v Speaker 2>of scripture. The context is going to be important in

181
00:14:21.960 --> 00:14:35.399
<v Speaker 2>those places as well. That's the key, Jack, Welcome to

182
00:14:35.440 --> 00:14:37.480
<v Speaker 2>the Jesus Christia. Yeah.

183
00:14:37.600 --> 00:14:40.879
<v Speaker 3>Hi, I just got a quick question about this thing

184
00:14:41.039 --> 00:14:45.799
<v Speaker 3>called lordship salvation and non lordship salvation, where the lordship

185
00:14:45.840 --> 00:14:50.759
<v Speaker 3>salvation guys believe that genuine saying faith includes the Williams

186
00:14:51.480 --> 00:14:54.759
<v Speaker 3>repent from one sin and submit to the lordship of Christ.

187
00:14:54.840 --> 00:14:59.200
<v Speaker 3>And then the non lordship guys say they don't see

188
00:14:59.200 --> 00:15:03.559
<v Speaker 3>repentance from and the willingness to submit to Jesus's lordship

189
00:15:03.600 --> 00:15:07.039
<v Speaker 3>is essential for salvation. And that I got into a

190
00:15:07.080 --> 00:15:09.639
<v Speaker 3>conversation with the guy and he said that that by

191
00:15:09.679 --> 00:15:13.679
<v Speaker 3>me telling someone or by Christians telling someone to repent

192
00:15:13.759 --> 00:15:16.120
<v Speaker 3>from their sins and submit to the lordship of Christ.

193
00:15:16.600 --> 00:15:20.679
<v Speaker 3>That's adding works to the Gospel. So I want to

194
00:15:20.679 --> 00:15:22.799
<v Speaker 3>ask you what your thoughts were on that.

195
00:15:23.759 --> 00:15:26.519
<v Speaker 1>No, it's not adding works to the Gospel. Here's the thing.

196
00:15:26.559 --> 00:15:29.039
<v Speaker 2>And a lot of people get confused based on what

197
00:15:29.240 --> 00:15:34.080
<v Speaker 2>happened versus what had to happen. For instance, people talk

198
00:15:34.120 --> 00:15:37.519
<v Speaker 2>about Judas. Should it be put on Judas. Here's this

199
00:15:38.039 --> 00:15:41.159
<v Speaker 2>major plan, this big plan. It's going to go down,

200
00:15:41.240 --> 00:15:44.320
<v Speaker 2>it's going to put me on the cross, it's going

201
00:15:44.360 --> 00:15:47.039
<v Speaker 2>to cover the sins of the world, and everything's going

202
00:15:47.120 --> 00:15:48.919
<v Speaker 2>to be taken care of. So why would people look

203
00:15:48.960 --> 00:15:52.559
<v Speaker 2>down on Judas? He just helped it along. Well, because

204
00:15:52.679 --> 00:15:56.279
<v Speaker 2>Judas as an individual, specifically decided to jump in and

205
00:15:56.279 --> 00:15:59.759
<v Speaker 2>to participate in a specific way, and it really felt,

206
00:16:00.200 --> 00:16:02.279
<v Speaker 2>you know, kind of whittled down to the fact that

207
00:16:02.320 --> 00:16:04.919
<v Speaker 2>he wanted things to be done sooner. So when it

208
00:16:04.919 --> 00:16:07.799
<v Speaker 2>comes to things that are going to be done, there's

209
00:16:07.799 --> 00:16:11.720
<v Speaker 2>a difference between somebody who is trying to create fire

210
00:16:13.000 --> 00:16:17.759
<v Speaker 2>by flapping their wings versus the passing along of a torch.

211
00:16:18.799 --> 00:16:20.440
<v Speaker 1>And really, when you're going.

212
00:16:20.200 --> 00:16:24.279
<v Speaker 2>To spread the gospel or share about any of that

213
00:16:24.440 --> 00:16:27.480
<v Speaker 2>you're just passing the torch. But it's the flame of

214
00:16:27.519 --> 00:16:31.000
<v Speaker 2>God always, and it's not something it's not a work

215
00:16:31.039 --> 00:16:34.600
<v Speaker 2>that you yourself can build upon. You can't bring somebody

216
00:16:34.639 --> 00:16:36.279
<v Speaker 2>to the salvation of Christ.

217
00:16:36.720 --> 00:16:37.559
<v Speaker 1>You can't.

218
00:16:38.240 --> 00:16:42.320
<v Speaker 2>Right God does, and God will use you in that process.

219
00:16:43.000 --> 00:16:45.840
<v Speaker 2>So when it says that no man should boast, it

220
00:16:45.879 --> 00:16:49.720
<v Speaker 2>means there's no bedposts that you can put those notches

221
00:16:49.759 --> 00:16:52.480
<v Speaker 2>of how many people you share the gospel and who've

222
00:16:52.519 --> 00:16:55.799
<v Speaker 2>come to know the gospel through because they're not yours.

223
00:16:57.720 --> 00:17:01.840
<v Speaker 2>They're not yours. So there is no works in that context. Now,

224
00:17:01.840 --> 00:17:06.720
<v Speaker 2>the lordship salvation, uh has you know, some nooks and crannies.

225
00:17:07.160 --> 00:17:09.279
<v Speaker 2>In the basic line of things, it comes down to,

226
00:17:10.400 --> 00:17:14.079
<v Speaker 2>you're receiving God. It's not about you the things you've

227
00:17:14.079 --> 00:17:16.079
<v Speaker 2>done wrong. It's about how good God is.

228
00:17:17.039 --> 00:17:17.960
<v Speaker 1>It's not about.

229
00:17:17.720 --> 00:17:19.680
<v Speaker 2>Anything that you've done. It's not even about what the

230
00:17:19.720 --> 00:17:23.400
<v Speaker 2>good you've done. It's about who God is. And that's

231
00:17:23.400 --> 00:17:24.680
<v Speaker 2>that's the simplicity of it.

232
00:17:25.319 --> 00:17:28.799
<v Speaker 3>When you talk about repentance, right, yes, a lot of

233
00:17:28.839 --> 00:17:31.799
<v Speaker 3>people get confused. I get confused on it. But as

234
00:17:31.920 --> 00:17:34.559
<v Speaker 3>repentance more like a change of a heart, it's not

235
00:17:34.599 --> 00:17:38.480
<v Speaker 3>really necessarily an act always so, so like we're saved

236
00:17:38.640 --> 00:17:42.359
<v Speaker 3>when we get saved, we're saved from half sins, present sins,

237
00:17:42.359 --> 00:17:43.640
<v Speaker 3>and future sins. Is that right?

238
00:17:44.559 --> 00:17:47.559
<v Speaker 1>Yes, of course, but so.

239
00:17:47.039 --> 00:17:50.680
<v Speaker 3>So these lordships are the non lordship guys go, well,

240
00:17:50.680 --> 00:17:53.960
<v Speaker 3>it's impossible not to sin. Is you're gonna sin until

241
00:17:53.960 --> 00:17:56.799
<v Speaker 3>you get into heaven. But that doesn't give you a

242
00:17:56.839 --> 00:17:59.839
<v Speaker 3>license to sin. So there's like a fine line there

243
00:18:00.160 --> 00:18:03.880
<v Speaker 3>or or do you understand what I'm trying to get across?

244
00:18:04.079 --> 00:18:06.480
<v Speaker 2>Of course, they were arguing in the in this in

245
00:18:06.599 --> 00:18:10.880
<v Speaker 2>two Timothy, I mean it's it's not new. The whole

246
00:18:10.920 --> 00:18:13.960
<v Speaker 2>point is are you a good guy?

247
00:18:15.200 --> 00:18:15.799
<v Speaker 1>You good guy?

248
00:18:15.920 --> 00:18:16.160
<v Speaker 3>Jack?

249
00:18:16.640 --> 00:18:19.119
<v Speaker 2>And I don't mean in the biblical sense. I mean

250
00:18:19.359 --> 00:18:21.480
<v Speaker 2>you don't go out murdering and raping in any of

251
00:18:21.480 --> 00:18:24.839
<v Speaker 2>those things? Right, No, okay, so that's just not who

252
00:18:24.880 --> 00:18:29.039
<v Speaker 2>you are. So I come to you tomorrow and I say, hey,

253
00:18:29.160 --> 00:18:34.319
<v Speaker 2>I'm doing this thing. We're gonna shut down any any

254
00:18:34.880 --> 00:18:39.680
<v Speaker 2>access to law enforcement tomorrow in your area. There's gonna

255
00:18:39.680 --> 00:18:41.680
<v Speaker 2>be no video cameras, there's gonna be no way for

256
00:18:41.759 --> 00:18:45.599
<v Speaker 2>them to find out. And I just wanted you to know.

257
00:18:46.160 --> 00:18:47.799
<v Speaker 2>And you found that out, Are you going to go

258
00:18:47.839 --> 00:18:50.200
<v Speaker 2>out raping and pillaging because you're not gonna get caught.

259
00:18:51.359 --> 00:18:53.319
<v Speaker 1>No, no, because it's not your nature.

260
00:18:53.440 --> 00:18:55.400
<v Speaker 2>There's no such thing as a as a get out

261
00:18:55.440 --> 00:19:00.039
<v Speaker 2>of jail free card. The whole point here is the

262
00:19:00.039 --> 00:19:03.440
<v Speaker 2>assumption of the world is, oh, you're gonna you've got

263
00:19:03.440 --> 00:19:05.400
<v Speaker 2>this high life now and you can do whatever you want,

264
00:19:05.440 --> 00:19:09.880
<v Speaker 2>and God's gonna love you. God's always loved everyone, right,

265
00:19:10.000 --> 00:19:12.720
<v Speaker 2>That's always been the theme that hasn't changed. Now the

266
00:19:12.799 --> 00:19:16.480
<v Speaker 2>reconciliation is different. The reconciliation knows that get to heaven

267
00:19:16.680 --> 00:19:21.319
<v Speaker 2>is different. So those that have this so called free

268
00:19:21.359 --> 00:19:24.920
<v Speaker 2>they do whatever they want just as long as they

269
00:19:24.920 --> 00:19:28.359
<v Speaker 2>believe they wouldn't misuse it. By the very definition of

270
00:19:28.359 --> 00:19:31.039
<v Speaker 2>what it is. If a kid goes out and gets

271
00:19:31.119 --> 00:19:34.119
<v Speaker 2>new cars from his family and every single time crashes

272
00:19:34.160 --> 00:19:37.240
<v Speaker 2>it and goes, oh, well, not only does that kid

273
00:19:37.279 --> 00:19:40.079
<v Speaker 2>not appreciate that car, that kid does not have any

274
00:19:40.079 --> 00:19:45.680
<v Speaker 2>feelings for his family, right, And that's different than just

275
00:19:45.720 --> 00:19:48.640
<v Speaker 2>a family going you crash the car, It's bound to happen.

276
00:19:48.880 --> 00:19:50.880
<v Speaker 2>At least you're okay, come on, let's take care of

277
00:19:50.920 --> 00:19:52.400
<v Speaker 2>you and then we'll talk about the car.

278
00:19:53.400 --> 00:19:53.640
<v Speaker 3>There.

279
00:19:53.680 --> 00:19:58.720
<v Speaker 2>It's a matter you've got either allegiance, which is going

280
00:19:58.759 --> 00:20:00.960
<v Speaker 2>to be bumpy allegiance because because you're human, you're going

281
00:20:01.000 --> 00:20:06.440
<v Speaker 2>to stand versus rebellion, which is you specifically ignoring the Gospel,

282
00:20:06.480 --> 00:20:08.720
<v Speaker 2>ignoring the word of God, the will of God, and

283
00:20:08.759 --> 00:20:11.039
<v Speaker 2>doing whatever you want. And they're two different things, and

284
00:20:11.079 --> 00:20:14.279
<v Speaker 2>trust me, they have two different endings. You can't rebel

285
00:20:14.359 --> 00:20:18.640
<v Speaker 2>yourself away from the knowledge of God. You can ignore

286
00:20:18.720 --> 00:20:22.920
<v Speaker 2>what He has for you to the point of death.

287
00:20:24.039 --> 00:20:28.240
<v Speaker 2>There's a lot of ways to reject. But as a Christian,

288
00:20:29.599 --> 00:20:35.559
<v Speaker 2>it's not about you. It's about God, right, and not

289
00:20:35.759 --> 00:20:39.839
<v Speaker 2>how bad you are, but how good God is. Every

290
00:20:39.880 --> 00:20:44.359
<v Speaker 2>other religion, every one of them, Jack is always focused

291
00:20:44.400 --> 00:20:48.599
<v Speaker 2>on man. Oh man is going to receive christ consciousness,

292
00:20:48.720 --> 00:20:52.519
<v Speaker 2>or man is going to receive total consciousness, or man

293
00:20:52.599 --> 00:20:55.319
<v Speaker 2>is going to be so high he's gonna These are weird,

294
00:20:55.400 --> 00:20:59.200
<v Speaker 2>wanna be God things. Christianity is the only one that

295
00:20:59.240 --> 00:21:02.880
<v Speaker 2>says nah and man, even good man doesn't do it

296
00:21:02.960 --> 00:21:07.119
<v Speaker 2>very well. So God is going to send his son,

297
00:21:07.240 --> 00:21:10.839
<v Speaker 2>and his son's going to step in and be the bridge.

298
00:21:10.839 --> 00:21:14.480
<v Speaker 3>So someone could be saved and still struggle with sin.

299
00:21:14.640 --> 00:21:20.400
<v Speaker 2>Right of course, okay, of course, what the perfection is

300
00:21:20.440 --> 00:21:23.319
<v Speaker 2>going to be in heaven when it's washed away finally.

301
00:21:24.319 --> 00:21:26.559
<v Speaker 2>But there, of course you're going to have sin. There's

302
00:21:26.599 --> 00:21:31.079
<v Speaker 2>not one preacher, not you know, one Bible thumper, one

303
00:21:31.160 --> 00:21:35.519
<v Speaker 2>Bible reader. There's not one that isn't struggling. And there

304
00:21:35.559 --> 00:21:36.799
<v Speaker 2>isn't one in the Bible either.

305
00:21:37.799 --> 00:21:40.200
<v Speaker 3>These are the same guys. They'll bring up Matthew seven

306
00:21:40.240 --> 00:21:43.240
<v Speaker 3>to one. You know about not judging, and I go,

307
00:21:43.480 --> 00:21:46.119
<v Speaker 3>I told the guy, so, well, you can judge actions,

308
00:21:46.119 --> 00:21:49.359
<v Speaker 3>but we can't really judge the heart. Is that a

309
00:21:49.400 --> 00:21:50.039
<v Speaker 3>correct statement.

310
00:21:50.440 --> 00:21:53.160
<v Speaker 2>Well, yeah, it's a you know what you tell me

311
00:21:53.240 --> 00:21:58.400
<v Speaker 2>someone that is upset because you said they looked good, Hey,

312
00:21:58.400 --> 00:22:02.319
<v Speaker 2>you look really nice tonight. That's a judgment. Not one

313
00:22:02.319 --> 00:22:07.279
<v Speaker 2>person goes, don't judge me, They go, ah, thanks, right,

314
00:22:07.480 --> 00:22:11.480
<v Speaker 2>judgment is fine judgment. What in scripture, the judgment that

315
00:22:11.519 --> 00:22:14.960
<v Speaker 2>they did not want was met with this newfound understanding

316
00:22:15.039 --> 00:22:17.519
<v Speaker 2>of who God was and how it interacted with their life.

317
00:22:17.680 --> 00:22:20.240
<v Speaker 2>They didn't want them running around saying I am better

318
00:22:20.279 --> 00:22:23.519
<v Speaker 2>than I am somehow closer to God than you, And

319
00:22:23.559 --> 00:22:26.200
<v Speaker 2>that was what was wrong. Trying to read men's hearts,

320
00:22:26.519 --> 00:22:29.920
<v Speaker 2>that's what was vulgart. That was the problem, not saying, hey,

321
00:22:30.200 --> 00:22:32.880
<v Speaker 2>that whole pipe you have in your mouth. Yeah, the

322
00:22:32.880 --> 00:22:35.720
<v Speaker 2>one you're smoking crack with. That's bad. Don't judge me.

323
00:22:36.160 --> 00:22:45.279
<v Speaker 2>I will judge you plenty. Louis Welcome to the Jesus

324
00:22:45.359 --> 00:22:45.799
<v Speaker 2>Christ Show.

325
00:22:47.000 --> 00:22:48.119
<v Speaker 3>Yes, I have.

326
00:22:48.640 --> 00:22:51.799
<v Speaker 4>I'm confused when I go to Mass and I listened

327
00:22:51.880 --> 00:22:57.559
<v Speaker 4>to the Apostle Creed where it indicates Jesus descends into Hell,

328
00:22:57.720 --> 00:23:01.480
<v Speaker 4>and I'm confused, and I don't understand rightly.

329
00:23:01.519 --> 00:23:02.839
<v Speaker 1>So it is a little confusing.

330
00:23:02.880 --> 00:23:05.119
<v Speaker 2>And really what it has to do is that there's

331
00:23:05.200 --> 00:23:07.440
<v Speaker 2>many words that are translated as Hell, but they do

332
00:23:07.519 --> 00:23:10.359
<v Speaker 2>mean different things depending on how they're used, one of

333
00:23:10.400 --> 00:23:13.559
<v Speaker 2>which is Shiol. Sheol simply means the place of the

334
00:23:13.599 --> 00:23:15.960
<v Speaker 2>dead or the place of the departed souls or spirits.

335
00:23:16.720 --> 00:23:20.519
<v Speaker 2>In the New Testament, it's well, in the New Testament,

336
00:23:20.559 --> 00:23:25.640
<v Speaker 2>the equivalent of Shiol is actually Hades, So Hades is

337
00:23:25.680 --> 00:23:29.359
<v Speaker 2>the place of the dead, and that's what's being spoken about,

338
00:23:29.920 --> 00:23:33.079
<v Speaker 2>not Hell's. But it often gets translated Hell, so it

339
00:23:33.119 --> 00:23:37.079
<v Speaker 2>can be quite confusing to hear that and think that

340
00:23:37.079 --> 00:23:39.680
<v Speaker 2>that's where Jesus went. But that's not the case. He

341
00:23:40.920 --> 00:23:43.319
<v Speaker 2>went to Hades, which shall also refers to the place

342
00:23:43.359 --> 00:23:46.000
<v Speaker 2>of the dead. Other scriptures of the New Testament would

343
00:23:46.039 --> 00:23:49.079
<v Speaker 2>talk about the same thing and refer to shiol or

344
00:23:49.119 --> 00:23:53.359
<v Speaker 2>hades as a temporary place where souls are kept as

345
00:23:53.400 --> 00:23:56.839
<v Speaker 2>they wait for their final resurrection and judgment. You find

346
00:23:56.880 --> 00:24:02.160
<v Speaker 2>out more at Revelation twenty eleven fifteen. So it's really

347
00:24:02.200 --> 00:24:05.559
<v Speaker 2>one of those things that it's like heaven. If you

348
00:24:05.599 --> 00:24:09.160
<v Speaker 2>think of heaven, it often refers to the layers of heaven,

349
00:24:09.720 --> 00:24:12.119
<v Speaker 2>and the layers of heaven really are not layers of

350
00:24:12.160 --> 00:24:15.599
<v Speaker 2>heaven at all. It's different heavens. So they talk about

351
00:24:15.599 --> 00:24:17.440
<v Speaker 2>the first heaven. The first heaven is the sky that

352
00:24:17.480 --> 00:24:19.400
<v Speaker 2>you see if you're standing on the Earth and you

353
00:24:19.480 --> 00:24:22.039
<v Speaker 2>look up and you see blue sky, it's the first heaven.

354
00:24:22.720 --> 00:24:26.319
<v Speaker 2>Second heaven would be space. You see space, that's when

355
00:24:26.599 --> 00:24:30.000
<v Speaker 2>the atmosphere drops and changes, the sun goes down, you

356
00:24:30.079 --> 00:24:33.960
<v Speaker 2>actually get to see the stars in the heavens. That's heavens, right,

357
00:24:34.240 --> 00:24:37.599
<v Speaker 2>So that's number two. Number three heaven is actually the

358
00:24:37.640 --> 00:24:41.880
<v Speaker 2>domicile of God, and that's different. So it depends how

359
00:24:41.880 --> 00:24:46.119
<v Speaker 2>it's used as well, and sometimes they have different references

360
00:24:46.160 --> 00:24:49.240
<v Speaker 2>and people get confused based on those. So they're going, well,

361
00:24:49.440 --> 00:24:51.160
<v Speaker 2>was he in heaven or was he not in heaven?

362
00:24:51.200 --> 00:24:51.839
<v Speaker 1>Where did he go?

363
00:24:52.319 --> 00:24:55.400
<v Speaker 2>So, yes, it can be confusing. It's because those words

364
00:24:55.599 --> 00:25:00.480
<v Speaker 2>are often mistranslated into hell. But if you get a

365
00:25:00.519 --> 00:25:02.839
<v Speaker 2>good lexicon and you want to do some word studies,

366
00:25:02.839 --> 00:25:04.400
<v Speaker 2>you can go back and forth and you can see

367
00:25:04.440 --> 00:25:07.440
<v Speaker 2>which word was used where, even for the word hell,

368
00:25:07.960 --> 00:25:09.720
<v Speaker 2>which word was used, how.

369
00:25:09.559 --> 00:25:10.400
<v Speaker 1>It was defined.

370
00:25:10.559 --> 00:25:13.279
<v Speaker 2>Those types of things that might give you some clarity

371
00:25:13.839 --> 00:25:17.359
<v Speaker 2>and understanding that otherwise might be lost. And that's not

372
00:25:17.400 --> 00:25:19.920
<v Speaker 2>the first and only time that happens. Things like that

373
00:25:19.960 --> 00:25:25.079
<v Speaker 2>do get tossed in there. It's not necessarily a bad translation,

374
00:25:26.039 --> 00:25:29.799
<v Speaker 2>it's just a confusing translation if you're not familiar with

375
00:25:29.839 --> 00:25:32.880
<v Speaker 2>every other word that's going on in conjunction with it.

376
00:25:33.880 --> 00:25:36.319
<v Speaker 2>So if you're just looking at that, you've kind of well,

377
00:25:36.359 --> 00:25:38.279
<v Speaker 2>I know what hell is and I know what heaven is,

378
00:25:38.319 --> 00:25:40.599
<v Speaker 2>and I've kind of put those into their own category,

379
00:25:40.799 --> 00:25:41.599
<v Speaker 2>and you keep going.

380
00:25:41.960 --> 00:25:47.200
<v Speaker 1>Sometimes you might miss exactly what's going on. KFI AM
