Speaker 1: Welcome to the Three Stories version of the tod Herman Show.
Speaker 1: Story number one Satan hides in the false light of
Speaker 1: empty compassion. Story number two was Hulk Hogan truly larger
Speaker 1: than life. And story number three there is no Old Testament.
Speaker 1: God stop that stuff. We'll talk about this with the
Speaker 1: help of God Almighty.
Speaker 2: But Todd Herman Show is one percent disapproved. But big
Speaker 2: pharma technocrats in tyrans everywhere from the high mountains of
Speaker 2: Free America. Here's the Emerald City EXI.
Speaker 1: Todd Herman. Today is the day the Lord has made,
Speaker 1: and these are the times to which God has decided
Speaker 1: we shall live. It's important to understand that Satan who
Speaker 1: is real, and you can choose to pretend he's not real,
Speaker 1: but I'd caution you against that. He hides in the light,
Speaker 1: not the true light, that Angel of light thing. Pretend
Speaker 1: the Angel of light thing that is so real, and
Speaker 1: he is so good at taking good intentions and just
Speaker 1: time over time, just little by little etching away at
Speaker 1: those until they take you off the mark. Now, I'm
Speaker 1: not here to say that immigration is satanic, because it's not.
Speaker 1: People have emigrated throughout time. Jesus Christ, of course emigrated
Speaker 1: not illegally, I would add in his life he had
Speaker 1: to to escape being unalive as it were, his parents
Speaker 1: had to escape with him. And there were no immigration
Speaker 1: laws at the time, so he wasn't breaking them. And
Speaker 1: might here to say that illegal immigration is satanic. It
Speaker 1: is in fact violenting God's word for Christians to not
Speaker 1: obey the laws of the government, and we have those laws.
Speaker 1: It's lying, it's a lot of sin, but I'm not
Speaker 1: saying it's satanic. I'm seeing that Satan hides in this
Speaker 1: angel of light masquerade and he uses politics for this.
Speaker 1: And I'm just going to walk a step by step
Speaker 1: through just some signs of this, and I'll start with
Speaker 1: something that couldn't sound more angel of light, and that
Speaker 1: is Look, let's just give some people dignity, right, let's
Speaker 1: just provide them dignity. And yes, we're to treat sojourners kindly.
Speaker 1: We ourselves, as Christians, are sojourners on this earth. This
Speaker 1: is not our home. We're visiting here. This is Representative
Speaker 1: Maria Salazar, a Republican from Florida. We give them dignity.
Speaker 3: At some point in the future, another legislator, we'll write
Speaker 3: another law to give them path to citizenship. Right now,
Speaker 3: what we need to do is to buy peace for
Speaker 3: these people, allow them to stay, to continue working because
Speaker 3: they're needed. You see. It's all I'm trying to do
Speaker 3: is to bring some common sense, which is the least
Speaker 3: common of all senses, to this conversation.
Speaker 1: Okay, so let's just apply some common sense to this.
Speaker 1: Is it a fact that we simply cannot exist as
Speaker 1: a society without people who came here illegally doing manual labor,
Speaker 1: that we can't do that? I don't think that's a fact.
Speaker 1: I think companies can adapt. I also think companies can
Speaker 1: legally bring people in. In fact, they don't think it.
Speaker 1: I know it. We just had Microsoft fire eight thousand
Speaker 1: US workers and turn right around and say we need
Speaker 1: eight thousand h one B visas while that stuff's still
Speaker 1: going on. No, we're not going to fall for the
Speaker 1: Angel of Light thing. We were overrun in our country
Speaker 1: by design by people who don't respect our laws and
Speaker 1: hate our electoral college system. And it started with this
Speaker 1: political venture, and then it started with the Chamber of
Speaker 1: Commerce saying, oh, we get cheap labor, and union saying,
Speaker 1: oh we get members. And we had some very corrupt
Speaker 1: versions of the Catholic Church saying, oh, look, we get
Speaker 1: to have now new members. And then the federal money
Speaker 1: flowed into this, and all of a sudden, the money
Speaker 1: train is there. So I can see that. People see
Speaker 1: that as compassionate. I can see that, and Satan hides
Speaker 1: right there. Because the trick in politics is when he
Speaker 1: can make you part of an intersectional group. In this case,
Speaker 1: you are part of the all immigration is good immigration group.
Speaker 1: You end up defending things that you literally would never defend,
Speaker 1: except you do. Satan can move you intellectually into corners
Speaker 1: of the world and corners of thought you never thought
Speaker 1: he could move you. If you doubt that, think of
Speaker 1: Judas As Scariot, who watched the miracles Jesus performed, who
Speaker 1: traveled with him when Jesus told the seas to be calm,
Speaker 1: Judas a scaret was in the boat. Think of that
Speaker 1: he watched a man speak into a storm and tell
Speaker 1: it to be calm, and the waters of the seas
Speaker 1: and the turbulence in the sky stopped. And then we
Speaker 1: read in the Bible that God allowed Satan to enter
Speaker 1: Judas Iscariot, and suddenly his thinking is entirely changed. I
Speaker 1: got to turn this guy in, man, I got to
Speaker 1: get me some thirteen pieces of silver, because that's the
Speaker 1: big reward. So people, once they get into Satan's intersectional group,
Speaker 1: this is all immigration is good immigration. They find themselves
Speaker 1: defending things that could never ever be defended. And I'm
Speaker 1: going to show you a sign of this in a second,
Speaker 1: and it's going to remind you of a movie. And
Speaker 1: it was a movie that was never supposed to make
Speaker 1: it into Hollywood. So The Sound of Freedom was never
Speaker 1: supposed to make it into Hollywood, and yet it did,
Speaker 1: and it did so so well, and it exposed some
Speaker 1: of the evils of trafficking, and it was a godly movie.
Speaker 1: God's Kids are not for sale. That studio Angel Studios
Speaker 1: is out with a new series called Testament, and this
Speaker 1: couldn't be more timely because Testament takes the Book of Acts,
Speaker 1: that is Luke writing about how christ Church was built,
Speaker 1: who builts it, what did Paul do, what was James's role, Timothy,
Speaker 1: et cetera. And they take those people in the Bible
Speaker 1: and they move them into a modern era, a surveillance state,
Speaker 1: a censorship state, a state that hates the truth. In
Speaker 1: other words, the state of being were in and see
Speaker 1: how they defend the faith in a world like ours.
Speaker 1: And it's a time to ask yourself a tough question
Speaker 1: when you are told neither buy nor sell, are you
Speaker 1: going to give in? Are you going to give in
Speaker 1: to that last act of desperation of the enemy. It's
Speaker 1: a great way to explore this. So go stream this

Speaker 1: member today at Angelstudio dot com slash Todd. Now, this
Speaker 1: is a jump, and I get that from what Mauria
Speaker 1: Salazar said about let's give people dignity to what's been
Speaker 1: discovered in bib County, Alabama. And by the way, if
Speaker 1: you're watching or listening with kids, this is super tough
Speaker 1: and I want you to be cautious. It's a big jump,
Speaker 1: but it's an understandable jump when you think about Satan
Speaker 1: masquerading as an angel of lights. And we'll talk about
Speaker 1: how these steps get people to a point where they
Speaker 1: literally refuse to condemn things like this, or, in the
Speaker 1: case of Angel Studios the Sound of Freedom, they literally
Speaker 1: tried to keep that movie out of the theaters because
Speaker 1: this stuff never happens.
Speaker 4: This is where authlready say six children, the youngest only
Speaker 4: three years old, were victimized repeatedly over more than a year.
Speaker 4: It's an underground storm shelter near the home of William
Speaker 4: Chase McElroy. Assistant District Attorney Brian Jones says there could
Speaker 4: be more victims and more alleged perpetrators. He says the
Speaker 4: grand jury has indicted a fourth person, but he can't
Speaker 4: release that name because that person hasn't been arrested yet.
Speaker 4: But he says we may never know the full extent
Speaker 4: of the horrors that happened here.
Speaker 1: Hey, it's not immigration, and I get that, but do
Speaker 1: you remember Sound of Freedom. People fought against that because
Speaker 1: it showed the evils of trafficking. There were people who
Speaker 1: said trafficking didn't happen. There were people who said it's
Speaker 1: a right wing fever swamp idea. There are people who
Speaker 1: say about organized groups of men doing these things. That
Speaker 1: doesn't happen. That's again, that's that's Christian fear memory that
Speaker 1: doesn't happen. And get this, there are there are same
Speaker 1: sex attracted people who would never harm a person, not intentionally,
Speaker 1: not ever, and they find themselves in an intersectional group
Speaker 1: where they are to defend people who are maps minor
Speaker 1: attracted persons. Because this is how Satan goes from good
Speaker 1: intention to maybe someone has a sin issue to now
Speaker 1: we're going to move you an intersectional group where not
Speaker 1: only will you say, sound of freedom can't come out,
Speaker 1: so we shouldn't allow this. That's a myth that never happens.
Speaker 1: Were abused in an organized fashion like these three guys
Speaker 1: who were clearly spiritually capture, we're doing that doesn't happen.
Speaker 1: And if it does happen, well, this is just an orientation.
Speaker 1: Satan hides is an angel of light. It's just an orientation.
Speaker 1: And we know that same sex attracted people had violence
Speaker 1: enacted against them and that should never happen. So to
Speaker 1: come back from that and to make sure that doesn't
Speaker 1: happen again, you have people joining this intersection of group saying, well,
Speaker 1: if this does happen to kids from time to time,
Speaker 1: it's just an orientation. Now, getting back to politics, intersectionalism,
Speaker 1: how does this work? So the people who ran Joe
Speaker 1: Biden set up a hotline so unaccompanied miners could call
Speaker 1: if they had trouble with the strangers with whom they
Speaker 1: were being placed. Okay, so you are a kid brought
Speaker 1: across our border. Legally, we don't know who you are,
Speaker 1: we don't know who your family is. So you've been
Speaker 1: placed with some strangers. Here's a phone number you can
Speaker 1: call if you have problem the strangers. In other words,
Speaker 1: if you're being kept in a dungeon. Listen to this
Speaker 1: or watch this.
Speaker 5: So you're telling this committee that the Biden administration, while
Speaker 5: they were letting all of these unaccompanied miners into the country,
Speaker 5: and as we've talked about today, they weren't keeping track
Speaker 5: of them. They issued these kids a hotline that they
Speaker 5: could call if they had trouble with the sponsor family
Speaker 5: that they were put with. And you're saying that sixty
Speaker 5: five thousand calls to this hotline designated to protect these
Speaker 5: kids went unanswered. Is that what you're telling this committee?
Speaker 1: Yes, sir, Wow, Representative Eli Crane doing the question together.
Speaker 1: Sixty five thousand phone calls presumably for help, no answer,
Speaker 1: three hundred thousand kids lost, no explanation, ten thousand kids
Speaker 1: recently found. In fact, I think it's now up to
Speaker 1: eighty thousand kids that we've found through the work of
Speaker 1: Tom Holman and Presidentent Trump's team, no media fanfare. See
Speaker 1: Satan takes you from good intentions. Let's be kind to
Speaker 1: sojourners and bit by bit, then let's make sure that
Speaker 1: all immigration is good, and therefore illegal immigration is good,
Speaker 1: and therefore illegal immigrants are good, and therefore the people
Speaker 1: who bring in illegal immorants are good. Okay. Or let's
Speaker 1: make sure that we're not cruel to people because they're
Speaker 1: same sex attracted and we shouldn't be. So let's be accepting. Okay,
Speaker 1: So you're going to be accepting. I can accept the people,
Speaker 1: but not the sin, because I don't accept fornication or
Speaker 1: adulter is normalized because the Bible says it's wrong. Therefore
Speaker 1: it says the same thing about same sex activity. I'll
Speaker 1: take that, but it doesn't mean I'm going to hate
Speaker 1: to people. We shouldn't either. But they go from that
Speaker 1: acceptance to okay, Well, then there're these people called maps.
Speaker 1: It's just another orientation and there are people who are
Speaker 1: born in the wrong body. It's just another form of
Speaker 1: the same sort of diverse thinking. And you get, bit
Speaker 1: by bit by bit moved into a place where all
Speaker 1: of a sudden, you find yourself saying, well, that form
Speaker 1: of abuse never happens, and if it does, it's okay
Speaker 1: because there's maps. And then you find yourself setting up
Speaker 1: these hotlines to say, well, kids aren't being abused and
Speaker 1: they aren't being placed with strangers. That never happens, and
Speaker 1: if it does happen, we've set up a hotline, and
Speaker 1: it's a hotline we don't answer. You see how this works.
Speaker 1: This is from libs of TikTok, always good at finding
Speaker 1: out what's going on in other states. A little bit
Speaker 1: of breaking news. This came out just recently. The Oregon
Speaker 1: Bureau of Labor and Industries threatens employers to not call
Speaker 1: ice on illegal alien employees. If employers are found to
Speaker 1: have violated law in this way, they're held accountable to
Speaker 1: the full extent of the law. Christina Stephenson, Commissioner of
Speaker 1: the Oregon Bureau of Labor and Industry. They are literally
Speaker 1: telling employers in order to not be prosecuted in Oregon,
Speaker 1: you have to violate federal law by not turning in
Speaker 1: illegal immigrants employees or people who want to be employees
Speaker 1: who are applying as illegal immigrants. Not only are they
Speaker 1: telling them you have to break federal law, they're telling
Speaker 1: them you have to break God's law. If you're a Christian,
Speaker 1: we are to follow the rules of the authorities. And
Speaker 1: in our country we have one authority, and that is
Speaker 1: the Constitution as a so called political authority. Those of
Speaker 1: us who are Christians have the ultimate authority, God Almighty,
Speaker 1: and we have a very tough enemy. He's meaningless to God.
Speaker 1: God is able to move him and shake him, and
Speaker 1: the demons can't do anything to God and can't do
Speaker 1: much to us if we're in Jesus. But Satan's had
Speaker 1: a long time to practice masquerading as an angel of light.
Speaker 1: Story number two. Was Hulk Hogan really bigger than life?
Speaker 1: Was Hulk Holgan really bigger than life? I've heard so
Speaker 1: much commentary about Hulk Hogan having been bigger than life
Speaker 1: that I started to think about was he actually bigger
Speaker 1: than life? I Mean, I know people being that as
Speaker 1: a figure of speech, but he was a huge man.
Speaker 1: He was muscled up, he was this like so called
Speaker 1: golden gods. He went through many, many iterations as a
Speaker 1: professional wrestler. He changed hollywoods he brought He brought professional
Speaker 1: wrestling into that form of entertainment into Hollywood's. He created
Speaker 1: an indelible character, He helped move professional wrestling into movies, et cetera.
Speaker 1: No doubt he changed that fake sport. Was he larger
Speaker 1: than life? Hulk Hogan took his notoriety and his fame
Speaker 1: and by the way, his infamy, and he deserved the
Speaker 1: infamy he had. Hulk Hogan did some truly horrible things
Speaker 1: in the man just passed. So we're not going to
Speaker 1: go through a Catalogum, you can go to any Google
Speaker 1: site and look it up, or go to any AI
Speaker 1: and say, write an article about the controversies surrounding Hulk Hogan,
Speaker 1: and anybody can do that easy enough. But I do
Speaker 1: want to start with where he was at when he died,
Speaker 1: because it doesn't matter. No, no, it doesn't matter. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I know, he gave a pretty unforgettable speech at the
Speaker 1: Republican Convention this week when they took a shot and
Speaker 1: my hero full lighting character and they tried to kill
Speaker 1: the next president of the United States, Oh what are
Speaker 1: you gonna do? Ron Wild Brother?
Speaker 6: Rap media roll again, crop media, make a maca right again.
Speaker 7: President Pulklick sired kids like Houston's wood.
Speaker 1: You know it's funny. I always wondered if you wore
Speaker 1: tore away tear away shirts when he was doing that professionalistling.
Speaker 1: But no, I've actually, if you've ever seen the dude
Speaker 1: when he was in his prime working outs, that wasn't
Speaker 1: all just puffed up steroidy. Yeah, he was apparently a
Speaker 1: huge reuter, but a dude was strong, so he could
Speaker 1: tear a normal teacher. I think that might have been
Speaker 1: a terri away. I had trouble with it, but it
Speaker 1: doesn't matter. It really doesn't.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 1: I know that angersome people. What do you mean? That
Speaker 1: was a great speech that riled people up. It owned
Speaker 1: the Libs. It did. It was a huge act of
Speaker 1: trolling and owned them. I remember the videos came out idiocracy.
Speaker 1: They knew what they were doing, they knew that they
Speaker 1: were owning the Libs. But it doesn't matter. He made
Speaker 1: tons of money, hulk multi multimillionaire, lost someone in a lawsuits,
Speaker 1: abused it, abused women with it through the power of it.
Speaker 1: But it was great business, but it doesn't matter. But
Speaker 1: something does matter because Hulk Hogan found out that life
Speaker 1: is not larger than life. Hulk do isn't wasn't and
Speaker 1: life is not larger than life. Even if you are
Speaker 1: a billionaire through business. Now you might be a not
Speaker 1: a billionaire, but you might be a small, medium sized
Speaker 1: business owner. And you might even think that you operate
Speaker 1: on corporate credit because you've got a corporate credit card
Speaker 1: or a corporate debit card, and you might think then
Speaker 1: you are given sort of a firewall between your personal assets.
Speaker 1: You've sweated your whole life to have maybe a house
Speaker 1: or two, college fund for the kids, some retirement moneies.
Speaker 1: That's all safe. If God forbid, there's a lawsuit because
Speaker 1: you have corporate credit, I'm here to tell you probably don't.
Speaker 1: Even if your lawyer and tax accountant set up your corporation.
Speaker 1: If your Social Security number appears on any of those PaperWorks,
Speaker 1: your bank is probably treating you as an individual, which
Speaker 1: means you are at risk. You're also losing out on
Speaker 1: the benefits of real corporate credit. And here's an easy
Speaker 1: way to figure this out. Take a free, no obligation
Speaker 1: consultation with BISIBLE it's go bisible dot com. Go bisible
Speaker 1: dot com will tell you if you have actual corporate
Speaker 1: credit and when you don't, because I bet you don't,
Speaker 1: they'll help you establish it in seven easy steps. It's
Speaker 1: go bisible. That's with a Z, go bisible dot com,
Speaker 1: Go bisible. Hulk was a billionaire. No, I don't a billionaire.
Speaker 1: Maybe many one hundred billionaire, many many times over. But
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter, doesn't matter at all. What matters is
Speaker 1: what Hulk figured out mattered. Hulk Hogan was baptized. Well
Speaker 1: much trust this board. When Hulk was baptized, he began
Speaker 1: to understand what matters, and he began to speak about
Speaker 1: what matters. This is a guy that someone said, or
Speaker 1: many many people said, was larger than life. Guys, life
Speaker 1: is not larger than life. Only God and e Trinity
Speaker 1: are larger than life. This is Hulk again on his baptism.
Speaker 6: Well, you know, when things were tough, you know, I
Speaker 6: realized that this too shall pass. You know that this
Speaker 6: was just a temporary situation. I realized that, you know,
Speaker 6: as long as I made the right choice, you know,
Speaker 6: and followed my faith. More than what people are saying
Speaker 6: with the newspapers, the tablets were saying and didn't get
Speaker 6: sucked into that now that stuff was real. The only
Speaker 6: thing that is really real is the stuff that's going
Speaker 6: to last forever. You know, your faith and your belief
Speaker 6: in God and knowing that, you know, once you're a Christian,
Speaker 6: you've accepted Christ as your savior, and you know you're
Speaker 6: not gonna perish, but you're going to have everlasting life.
Speaker 6: That belief in itself and that faith is what's pretty
Speaker 6: much the only thing that's real to me. You know,
Speaker 6: everything else is kind of like a life situation, but
Speaker 6: that's my life after life after life, life situation.
Speaker 1: A man who maybe even at a point thought he
Speaker 1: was larger than life, realized that this life isn't even
Speaker 1: larger than life. Only God in a trinity through Jesus
Speaker 1: Christ Rest well, Hulk Rest with Jesus. Story number three.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of chatter, and it's a very convenient
Speaker 1: form of chatter when it comes to a lighting, but
Speaker 1: it is it's catfishing.
Speaker 5: God.
Speaker 1: What's that called when when you catfish? It was called
Speaker 1: when you are pretending to be something you're nots online, Yeah, catfishing.
Speaker 1: So people are catfishing.
Speaker 2: God.
Speaker 1: That is they're making Jesus into something he's not, and
Speaker 1: they're also making God into something he's not. And this
Speaker 1: is a very very smart technique. What they do is
Speaker 1: they take the Old Testament and they talk about the
Speaker 1: Old Testament God okay. And this is very kind of
Speaker 1: an aggressive form of giving other people spiritual borderline personality disorder.
Speaker 1: One of the hallmarks of BPD people are who have
Speaker 1: what we call borderline personalities that don't and who knows
Speaker 1: if that exists, but that's how we describe as symptoms.
Speaker 1: Is one of the big symptoms is they can't see
Speaker 1: people in shades of gray. So if they are really
Speaker 1: angry at you because you did something that hurt them,
Speaker 1: you're the worst person in the world until you do
Speaker 1: something that pleases them or causes them to feel validated,
Speaker 1: in which case you are a good person or maybe
Speaker 1: even their favorite person. And this can happen throughout a
Speaker 1: day with someone. And when they take the God of
Speaker 1: the universe and they take the Bible and they split
Speaker 1: it in two. There's the Old Testament, here's the New Testament,
Speaker 1: and there's the Old Testament God, and here's the New
Speaker 1: Testament God. They're taking a God who has never been split.
Speaker 1: God has always existed and always will exist. The Triune
Speaker 1: God is ins throughout the Bible. You know, the spirit
Speaker 1: of God moved across the Water's not God himself. The
Speaker 1: spirit of God in the beginning was the Word. The
Speaker 1: word was with God, the word was God, the word
Speaker 1: was Jesus in the beginning. The Word was with God,
Speaker 1: and the Word was God. And the spirits of God
Speaker 1: moved across the moorder. But God animated that because God
Speaker 1: made the heavens in the earth, and God spoke that
Speaker 1: into existence. Let there be light. So you can see
Speaker 1: the description of the Holy Trinity throughout the Bible. It's complex,
Speaker 1: and it's also also easy. God can do anything. It's complex. Wait,
Speaker 1: there's three of them, no, not three, three instances, three personalities,
Speaker 1: And it's easy. God can do anything. But when they
Speaker 1: take the Old Testament and they say that's the Old
Speaker 1: Testament God, here's the New Testament God, how they do
Speaker 1: it often plays out like you're about to hear from
Speaker 1: a so called biblical scholar and the Maddie May model.
Speaker 1: I'll show this two new seconds, but don't allow it
Speaker 1: to confuse you. There are not two gods. There are
Speaker 1: not two chances at retirement, you get one. That's it.
Speaker 1: So when you enter into retirement, it would be a
Speaker 1: good idea to not have to go back and start
Speaker 1: working again. So how would you achieve that, Well, you'd
Speaker 1: want to make sure you know exactly how much money
Speaker 1: you're going to have every single month for the rest
Speaker 1: of your life. That's what my friend Zach Abraham at
Speaker 1: Bulwark Capital Management, he's the chief investment officer there. That's
Speaker 1: how he defines a successful retirement, knowing how much money
Speaker 1: you have for the rest of your life every single month. Now,
Speaker 1: Zach accomplishes this in a way that runs counter to
Speaker 1: popular culture. He's not out buying five six stocks. He's
Speaker 1: not out letting the money flow into these ETFs where
Speaker 1: your money goes to seven companies forty percent of it.
Speaker 1: He actively manages every single portfolio, and he's deeply animated
Speaker 1: by avoiding risk risk management, which he says and which
Speaker 1: she believes actively managing portfolios can reduce risk and volatility,
Speaker 1: and it seems clear to me it can. He also
Speaker 1: meets with every single client prior to doing business three times,
Speaker 1: no charge. Why three Why not just get you on
Speaker 1: the pone the phone and pitch you because the first
Speaker 1: phone call he wants to make sure you guys like
Speaker 1: each other. You're going to be doing business together. You
Speaker 1: got a regular phone calls, what's going to my portfolio?
Speaker 1: The second call is to really examine your hopes and
Speaker 1: dreams for retirement and are they dreams or are they planned?
Speaker 1: And then the third phone call or video meeting or
Speaker 1: in person meeting, whatever you like, is Zach saying here's
Speaker 1: what we think we can do to help. Or it
Speaker 1: might be that, hey, we looked into your situation. You're solid.
Speaker 1: You don't need us. If this is a new form
Speaker 1: of treatment for you, it should be because not many
Speaker 1: people do it this way. Here's how to get in

Speaker 1: five to two. There are not two gods and this
Speaker 1: so called biblical scholar, Mattie may Model, wants you to
Speaker 1: believe that because there's this Old Testament God, the God
Speaker 1: of the Old Testament.
Speaker 8: Why is the Old Testament God such a Hi? My
Speaker 8: name is Mattie my Moodal. I'm a Bible scholar specializing
Speaker 8: in gender and sexuality in the New Testament. But today
Speaker 8: we're going to be talking about something a little bit
Speaker 8: different because it is such a highly requested topic. What's
Speaker 8: up with the Old Testament God? I get this question
Speaker 8: a lot, and I think part of the reason is
Speaker 8: because when Christians deconstruct and then they go back and
Speaker 8: read the Old Testament, they aren't exactly happy with what
Speaker 8: they find. And I think because of this, a lot
Speaker 8: of progressive Christians are really tempted to just completely leave
Speaker 8: the Old Testament behind and just have a faith but
Speaker 8: really focused on the words of Jesus Christ. So what
Speaker 8: is the deal with Deuteronomy seven and Deuteronomy twenty. Well,
Speaker 8: there's actually a really good cultural explanation for this. The
Speaker 8: language in the Old Testament around genocide is language commonly
Speaker 8: associated with military propaganda. This military language is commonly used
Speaker 8: in the ancient Nearies as a way to make themselves
Speaker 8: look really impressive and intimidating to their neighbors. So when
Speaker 8: you see passages like this in the Bible, it's really
Speaker 8: just dude saying, oh, yeah, we totally won that battle
Speaker 8: and we killed all the women and children too. But
Speaker 8: we see time and time again that's actually not true.
Speaker 8: So where you can find God in the midst of
Speaker 8: this patriarchal it is the voice of Rahab in God's
Speaker 8: heart to connect with every person, regardless of ethnicity or
Speaker 8: religious affiliation. So next time someone tries to tell you
Speaker 8: that the God of the Old Testament is you can
Speaker 8: say that's just not biblical sis. It was actually the
Speaker 8: who wrote about him.
Speaker 1: Wow, a biblical scholar who didn't quote one piece of
Speaker 1: scripture In the Old Testament. You had people who God
Speaker 1: chose not because they were special, but because Abraham had faith,
Speaker 1: or at the time Abram had faith in God did
Speaker 1: what God said. God chose these people. These people intermittently
Speaker 1: were very very respectful of God's and followed them and
Speaker 1: sometimes very very rebellious against God. And some of the
Speaker 1: rebellion led them into captivity, and God loved them so
Speaker 1: much he brought them out of captivity, and when He
Speaker 1: brought them out of captivity, and he performed amazing miracles
Speaker 1: that no one who saw could deny. In fact, some
Speaker 1: of their captors said, can we come with you? Can
Speaker 1: we come with you because we see your God is
Speaker 1: the real God? And the Jewish people said yes. When
Speaker 1: God brought them out of captivity, they didn't know how
Speaker 1: to live as a free people. So God began to
Speaker 1: introduce rules, and they had to be very strict, because
Speaker 1: you're going to be called out. You're going to be different.
Speaker 1: You are not going to engage in pagan ceremonies. You
Speaker 1: are not going to engage in pagan death ceremonies. You're
Speaker 1: not going to engage in pagan sex ceremonies. You're going
Speaker 1: to treat each other differently. You're going to worship me differently,
Speaker 1: you're going to revere me. And he set up these
Speaker 1: very tight rules governing everything they were to do because
Speaker 1: they were fresh out of captivity, and sometimes in fact,
Speaker 1: God said, you are going to go utterly decimates a people.
Speaker 1: Almost always in the Old Testaments, God offered the people
Speaker 1: who were not getting out of the way of His
Speaker 1: chosen people and trying to pollute them. With paganism. He
Speaker 1: issued them warnings, let's get out of the way of
Speaker 1: my people. Many times those other people didn't follow those warnings.
Speaker 1: So God eventually had said sometimes to the Jewish people,
Speaker 1: you need to go utterly decimate them, leave no survivors.
Speaker 1: That wasn't propaganda. And I'd love to find out where
Speaker 1: this biblical scholar has learned that this just didn't happen.
Speaker 1: They were just making it all up, because there's no
Speaker 1: archaeological evidence against these battles. The arch archaeological evidence stands
Speaker 1: on the side of the Bible and in just about
Speaker 1: every case. And God was not being a dei high
Speaker 1: in letter. He was being a God who was establishing
Speaker 1: his people in a world hostile to them. He created
Speaker 1: a law that could not be completed by human beings,
Speaker 1: and he showed people you could try to be like me.
Speaker 1: And I am perfect, I don't make mistakes. There's nothing
Speaker 1: in me that's unholy. I am pure light, I am
Speaker 1: pure goodness. I never fail. I keep all my promises.
Speaker 1: I cannot be dissuaded from the goods. I cannot be seduced,
Speaker 1: I cannot be cons I cannot be lied to, I
Speaker 1: cannot be mocked. You can try this, And here I'll
Speaker 1: lay it all out for you. Here's exactly the square
Speaker 1: footage of a temple. Here's where the Holy of Holies goes.
Speaker 1: This is what the curtains are to be made out of.
Speaker 1: Here's how thick they are to be. This is where
Speaker 1: you render the fats, and this is how you do that.
Speaker 1: And this team runs this. And people could not do it.
Speaker 1: And God knew they wouldn't be able to. So that
Speaker 1: same God said, all right, you tried it. You tried
Speaker 1: your kings, you tried your governments, you tried your wars,
Speaker 1: you tried living without, you tried splitting up in the
Speaker 1: separate tribes. You tried it all. You Pharisees, you thought
Speaker 1: you were perfect. You ran around having people run through
Speaker 1: crowds ahead of you. Make way, the great Pharisees are coming.
Speaker 1: You were the Holy Holy. Look what you did. You
Speaker 1: didn't even recognize the Messiah when he came. And God
Speaker 1: still had mercy. So God fulfilled the law. And if
Speaker 1: you think the Old Testament God went away, look what
Speaker 1: he did to his son. Look what God did to
Speaker 1: his beloved son, his only son, the Lord Jesus Christ.
Speaker 1: People to this moment, discount the cross, they will focus on. Okay,
Speaker 1: the resurrection, great, that's the main story. He was up
Speaker 1: there for a long time. Yep, he was. He was
Speaker 1: painfully lashed and scourged, yes to the point that other
Speaker 1: people would have died. People never wanted to give respect
Speaker 1: to the fact that he also had part out of
Speaker 1: him God's wrath. There is one God, the Old Testament
Speaker 1: God is the New Testament God. All that wrath, for
Speaker 1: all the sin ever committed, or all the sin that
Speaker 1: ever will be committed, poured out on to his son
Speaker 1: in anguish. He didn't put his son through anything that
Speaker 1: he's put us through. We can never match what Jesus did.
Speaker 1: We could not survive a drop, one drop of God's
Speaker 1: wrath from one cup. Jesus took them all. This isn't
Speaker 1: two separate gods. It's God giving us the only way
Speaker 1: to salvation, which is through the blood of Christ. Jesus.
Speaker 1: And incidentally, those rules in the Old Testament, Jesus did
Speaker 1: not cancel most of them. There were a few he modified.
Speaker 1: He made clear to the Pharisees, you're not defiled by
Speaker 1: what goes into the mouth, but what comes out. But
Speaker 1: Jesus doubled down. You've heard it said that you should
Speaker 1: not commit adultery. I tell you a man who looks
Speaker 1: at a woman with loss in his eyes has committed adultery.
Speaker 1: He reaffirmed marriage. It is for this reason that a
Speaker 1: man leaves his family, mother and father, and clings to
Speaker 1: his wife and they become one flush. He had all
Speaker 1: sorts of time to say, yeah, that stuff about fornication
Speaker 1: and adultery and same sex activity and old Testament, Yeah,
Speaker 1: forget that stuff. I'm washing it out. Jesus did not
Speaker 1: come to destroy the law, but to fulfill it. And
Speaker 1: Jesus is part of the eternal Godhead. Always exists, it
Speaker 1: always will exist, and there's only one of them or him.
Speaker 1: This is the Todd Hermannshaw. Please go be well, be strong,
Speaker 1: be kind, make a decision to walk in the light
Speaker 1: of Christ, and celebrate with me as I get to
Speaker 1: go spend some time hanging out doing some stuff. My
Speaker 1: beloved wife
