Speaker 1: So how is Jesus viewed on YouTube? I can't say overall,
but man, I can show you some stuff from our
comment section. And this is one of the reasons I'm
glad to be on YouTube, even though we can't talk
about real things on YouTube. Speaking of that, Friday, on
our substack, it's the Todd Herman Show dot substack dot com.
If you're not yet a subscriber. I do a pretty
long video about Bill Gates being ordered to go to
courts in the Netherlands, and man, that would get us
banned forever on the tubes. So it's there, and it's
the Todd Herman Show Dot substact dot com if you're
not yet a subscriber. That will come out Friday morning.
I got to say one other thing just before we
begin the program. A friend of mine told me the
night that there's McDonald's ads running during our program, and
he said, Hey, so you got McDonald's as a sponsor. No,
we don't. Those are robotic ads that are included. And
I'll just say this, I like to Mickey Desberg from
time to time. I don't eat them because I'm an addict,
so if I eat one, I will eat more. I
do not eat them. I like their taste, but please
understand something. Those things are designed to jones you. They
are designed as a drug. They've got all sorts of
chemists andineurologists that I've been in the fast food kitchens.
I told you about the Taco Taco Time kitchen where
I saw the chemical compounds on the wall and I
asked them about that. Man, this is so designed to
hit you in dipamine and serotonin and everything else. If
you're one of the people who can go in there
and not end up jones and for that stuff, god
bless you. But please understand the design of that. And
since they're running McDonald's on the show, I just thought
I needed to say something like that. I guess we
get some money for that. Eventually it washes up to us.
So that's what it is, and it's not something I
can control. There are other things I can control. We
try to get rid of the pharma ads and the
government ads, but Pharma lies constantly to make their ads
in like their sports et cetera. All right, are we
actually doing a show here? Are we just talking about me?
I know, the lint roller kind of at a lint
roller issue before we began the show, all right, focus
on the program, how Jesus is viewed on YouTube, and
I finally see in President Trump would have been praying
to see. We'll talk about this with the help of
boptimizers masszimes. Now that'll get you good nutrition and of course,
with the great grace of God Almighty.
Speaker 2: The Todd Herman Show is one disapproved by big pharma
technocrats in tyron s everywhere from the high mountains of
Free America. Here's the Emerald City, Xie Todd Herman.
Speaker 1: Today is the day the Lord has made, and these
are the times which God is the sided we shall
live man the continuity. People are going to be going
nuts because, hey, where does coffee cup go? Where's his
coffee cup? It's almost as if we're going to have
to do a magic special effect for my hand reaches
over like this and straight out of space comes floating
a coffee cup as soon as the cup is put
on it by a woman who's on her last days
on the show because she's going to go build an
alternative career. And I'm so proud of our Thank you, Niata,
appreciate you, thank you for that. So I gotta I
gotta just focus down, because I'd rather be talking about
the thing we're going to talk about on Substack tomorrow.
But I've recorded the video. It's going to be there
for you, So I've got to focus down. We're on YouTube.
We're on it because it's a commercial necessity. It's the
biggest podcasting platform in the world, bar none, and we're
getting some at least I'm getting some joy to that.
So we're going to get quickly into that. But let
me just bring up a couple of Kamala Harris things.
So she goes on with Anderson Cooper, and you'd expect
us to be super easy. Anderson Cooper is a leftist
and clear life leftists. But even I think as Cooper
is going through these questions, I can imagine this CNN
and staff going, hey, let's make sure we don't have
any big stumpers out here, And I got to think
Cooper's looking at this good. Yeah, there's no stumpers here.
I mean, this is about as softball as it gets.
So he asks her a question that every candidate gets asked.
And by the way, President Trump failed this years ago
when they asked him about, Hey, what's a big mistake
you made? And President Trump said, I I haven't made
any mistakes, and that's changed. And then he was also
asked at one point in regard to being a Christian
for what do you need redemption? I think he said
at one point I don't need that, and now he's
changed and is admitted he each redemption. Praise God. So
it's a simple question, Kamala Harris, is.
Speaker 3: There something you can point to in your life, political life,
or in your life in the last four years that
you think is a mistake that you have learned from.
Speaker 4: I mean, I've made many mistakes, and they range from
you know, if you've ever parented a child, do you
know what you mean?
Speaker 1: She hasn't full stop. As Matt Wash points out, her
step kids were twenty and fifteen when she attached herself
into the family. She did not raise children at all.
Some mistakes too.
Speaker 4: In my role as vice president, I mean, I've probably
worked very hard at making sure that I am well
versed on issues.
Speaker 1: And you gave speeches about school buses and you said,
these are school buses and they're yellow, and they're yellow
school buses. And think about the significance these yellow school
buses that are yellow take kids to school to school school?
Are kids in these buses?
Speaker 4: No, I think that is very important. It's a mistake
not to be well versed on an issue and feel
compelled to answer a question.
Speaker 1: You know that multi billion dollar program to bring broadband
to people, how many homes have broadband? None? Elon Musk
through Starlink has brought more broadband to North Carolina post
hurricane than their program did. And her bosses stole a
contract from Musk to do that around the country so
they could pay fifty sixty seventy percent more because they
hate Elon because he's opened up Twitter to be somewhat
of a free speech platform. So stakes Afghanistan. She did
the thing that people do in job interviews, and I
got to the point at Microsoft where I would preemptively
ban this answer. What's one of your big weaknesses in
an area where you have a room for growth? And
don't say perfectionism, don't stay working too hard, don't say
working too long, don't say that, and you'd see the
nbas she'd been through the rehearsal process. Oh ah, I
yelled at my mom. Then a weakness. See this goes
to the point that Kamala Hears does not exist. She's
not a real person. She's words and programs. She's a
Kamala b That's a lay down, easy answer, and Kamala
Harris is pretty good at laying down for politics.
Speaker 4: As it were.
Speaker 1: Got a note this morning from one of our long
term partners and it did my heart really really good.
It came from John and Alan Soaps. John is Alan's dad.
People are buying massive amounts of soap, like cases of soap,
and he brought this up, and I think this is
really really a neat idea. If you're a plumber or
you put in instant showers, you're in that business where
you remodel people's showers with those cool inserts that make
them look, you know, really really nice. You do that
super quickly. There are business owners who are buying Alan
soaps and Ian soaps, so they leave this as gifts
for people. I love this because it's a reminder of
who you're doing business with that they support small businesses
and particularly businesses with a great mission. You know, this
is people going in sometimes in buying a dozen and
a half cases of soap doing this. If you're a
business owner and you think all lives matter and you
want to start that conversation with people putting Alan soaps
and the bathroom is a great way to do that.
You can also buy Ian soap, which is liquid soap,
and sometimes people need free more comfortable with this. If
you're a gym, you could do the same thing anywhere
where you offer people the opportunity to wash their hands right,
so businesses can go purchase it's the same place. It's
Alan Soaps dot com slash Todd. The soap is made
in America. It's all natural. He can do fragrance free
or some of the unique fragrances that Alan thinks of.
He's the guy who got this all kicked off thirteen,
has been through eighteen operations or so is nonverbal. He's
one of three young people now working there. So it
gives you a great opportunity to work into conversation why
you use this company. It's Alan Soaps dot com slash Todd.
A pretty famous cat decided to go in and all
in and risk his career because it's a legitimate risk.
If you're going to go from Hollywood and admit that
you are willing to vote for pre isn't it Trump.
This guy's name is Zachary Levi Pugh. He's an American
actor and singer. Starred as Chuck Bartowski in the action
comedy series Chuck and as the titular character in the
superhero film Shazam. Yes, I just read that from Wikipedia,
because I have absolutely no idea who this guy is.
I just know he's very famous and so putting his
career on the line. And let's give him credit for this.
He went live on Instagram live to do this.
Speaker 3: Oh and by the way, to Whoopy Goldberg and to
Sonny and to know all of the.
Speaker 1: Folks at the view and can we stop the bro
It's got some good hair. I mean, as he's going
through the video, if you're listening to the audio version
of this, he's combing back his hair. Very charismatic move.
That's a strong move. It shows the hair, it shows
the dominance. Nice nice, nice move.
Speaker 3: I I don't think it's accurate to say that somehow
Hollywood is both a liberal and a concern to town.
To what's point, Back in the day, there might have
been a bit more of a balance, you know, and
there have always been more let's say, conservative leaning stars
that have been able to say those things.
Speaker 1: But you really have to be at a.
Speaker 3: Certain level of your career in order to get away
with it.
Speaker 1: Number one.
Speaker 3: But number two, that was also back then. And I
think naming just John Voight and Dennis Quaid and really
only named John John Voight would be somebody else had
to help you with Dennis Quaid. Of the thousands of
actors in Hollywood that you could only name to, I
think actually speaks to that. And what that means is
there's plenty And by the way, they have sent me
lots of messages, plenty of people in my industry in
Hollywood that are terrified to publicly say that they would
vote for Donald Trump or be conservative in any way.
Speaker 1: That's why you don't see them.
Speaker 3: That's why they're not very prevalent or prominent, because they
know that there's a ramification for this kind of But
like I said, y'all, our industry is going to be gone,
so like it's it already is. We're getting we're getting eroded.
The pandemic and the strikes and all of these things,
they've already eroded it so much.
Speaker 1: So you know, my, so, my my, anyway, my.
Speaker 3: Cry to all of you out there, you closeted conservatives,
closeted Trump voters.
Speaker 1: Y'all, it's now or never. I don't you know what
I mean?
Speaker 3: Like, I do whatever you feel like you need to do,
if you need to come out publicly and say it.
If you if you feel like you do, can't, then
don't you know I would never.
Speaker 1: Pressure you to that.
Speaker 3: But but know that if what you're afraid of is
somehow the backlash of an industry that's not going to
exist very soon, then don't let that.
Speaker 1: Don't let that hold you back. Maybe just look at
this a different way as well. And thank you for
Zachary for doing that. I'm sorry I didn't know who
were It's just I don't out of the world. Think
of it ten years from now, Okay, and just imagine
this that I'm fifty seven and God angers people want
to say this. Think it's so frustrated with me. I
hope the Lord takes me home before I turn sixty
seven round sixty four. I know that angers people. I
keep myself healthy. I work out constantly. I see Alex
looking at me. Why would I not want to go
to Jesus? No, No, let's just stop with all this stuff.
If you believe in the new Heaven and the New Earth.
And you believe you're going to Lord Jesus. Why would
you say I don't want to go? And gosh, shit
just angers so many of my family members. You'd be
leaving us behind. Yes, in good hands, the hand of
the Lord Jesus, because if he brought me home, I
guarantee he's going to sit and care for you. Well,
he's already doing it. And people Christians who are afraid
to die, and legitimately I hear this all. And man,
am I on the distraction train today? I really am.
You can tell the things I want to be talking about.
But I hear Christians say, like the end of the day,
I said to brother, say it to how are you?
How are you? Man? Good to see you? Well I
woke up this morning. That's better than the alternative. Why
it's not an argument for suicide because I'm not even
sure you go to heaven if you commit suicide. I mean,
I think the Lord is just to forgive and wants
to do that, and he seeks his that way. But
it's also stealing as a last act. Now the God's
not sitting around waiting saying, oh I got you, I
got you. Look what you did, Oh, you're out. He
doesn't want that. He wants us to come home. But man,
if you're looking forward to the new heaven and the
new Earth, what's wrong with looking to afford to the
new heaven and new Earth? Were we doing a show?
Or is it me just emoting talking about Zachary? So
imagine ten years from now, and I hope to meet
my grandkids if my daughter is gifted with kids and
she decides to do that, and when they say, Grandpa,
what does you do when the Democrats wanted to force
people to lie? What did you do?
Speaker 2: Man?
Speaker 1: I voted super hard. I went into those polls, and
really I used to just color in the little circle
or oval, but man I pressed so hard and I
used two number two pencils, and man I just then
I handed it to the lady and I said, check
that out. That's voting hard? Or did you give up anything?
Did you maybe do things you don't want to do
because God has called you to do it, such as
going and making disciples though it's uncomfortable. Did you take
uncomfortable political positions and speak them in public? Did you
knock on the door? Did you go to the sixty
five percent of young people who are not going to vote,
particularly young Christians who have their heads about them. Did
you go to them and say, do you understand that
when you don't vote, you are making all the votes
influenced by Satan that much stronger? Do you know that?
Do you know that you're doing exactly what Satan would
want you to do? Did you do that? I want
to be able to say to my grandkids, well, gosh,
you know what, I worked longer than I would have liked.
I produced during the week. I was blessed to work
in a television studio, got built with good people. But men,
sometimes I'm telling you, it's hard to say I'm going
to sit down and create another thirty five hours of
content this week, your two national radio shows and this podcast.
And sometimes it's a blessing. Sometimes I'd rather not do it.
You're probably the same way with your job. So what
are we able to say that to them? Because I
can legitimately say to them, Man, I've talked with my
family about this many, many times. My dream scenario is
a cabin and a CrossFit gym and a church and
books and legitimately to be able to come down into
society from time to time and people say, hey, did
you vote then for me to go what did I who?
But we can't do that. So Zachary Levi is making
this point that it's now or ever. It is because
there will come at ten years from now. And if
that ten years from now is after eight years of
the people who run Kamala Harris, then Blackrock owns six
hundred million homes, not three hundred million, and floating the
idea of we're going to ban you from having natural
gas in your home is no longer a floated idea.
They've done it. Everything's connected to the grid. The attack
on people living in rural areas is complete. The per
mile driven tax with a premium for being twenty five
miles outside the city corps. That's done. The smart cities
things is done. All the new cars have off switches,
Social credit is enforced that way. Got into your car
in the morning, turn it on and hey, I got
to go to the store. I'm sorry. Before you do that,
we're going to need you to take down a social
media post. It's problematic. There are people being jailed for
praying in their heads. So, yeah, the time is now,
and it is now or never, which is again one
of the reasons why run YouTube because there's young people
there who have no idea who the Lord Jesus is.
There's old people there who have no idea who the
Lord Jesus is. And some of the conversations there are well,
some of them are inspiring, others of them are baffling
and disconcerting, but their reality. So I want to share
some of these with you if you've not been to
our YouTube channel, its YouTube dot com, slash at the
Todd Herman Show. And as we're talking about all of this,
I mean in that meeting ten years from that. That's
assuming we can all afford houses, because you will own
nothing and you'll be happy. That's the assumption. One of
the things you can lock and load for. You can
is an environment where Kamala makes it into the Oval office,
either to winning, which seems less and less likely to me,
or by stealing, which is a certainty because they're attempting
to steal it now. If she's in there, you can
lock and load for a highly inflationary environment where they're
going to attack key industries, where they're going to attack
political ap Look at Lizzie Warren Center. A note to McDonald's. Hey,
I saw you had this guy who's orange and Hitler
go work in one of your restaurants. By the way,
we're starting an investigation about your pricing schemes. We're gonna
need you to respond. You can lock and load for
that in your way. Maybe do it on your own.
You know that's sixty forty stock bond mechs man, that's potent.
Just buy and hold because everything's fine. Or get in
touch with my friend and brother, Zach Abraham at Chief
investment officer Bulwark Capital Management, to do a conference called
video phone in person. He loves that stuff. He'll look
at your retirement plans and if they're plans, he'll say,
those are plans. Here's how I know. It looks like
you're gonna have You're going to know exactly how much
money you got have every month when you retire for
the rest of your life. Those are plans. If he
looks at and says, hey, you know what those are?
Cool wishes, dude, cool hopes, bro, he'll show you how
you can close that gap between wishes and hopes and
make them into plans. And he does that through a
fanatical focus on risk management by actively managing every portfolio
which can reduce risk and volatility. So get a free
no obligation, meaning he doesn't expect you to say, Okay,
just because you met with me, I'm going to do
business with you. Expects you to say, hey, if we're
going to do business together because you believe I can
help you, then do that. Good to Know your Risk

Speaker 1: We'll get to President Trump and what's this change I've
seen in him that I've just been praying to see.
It's very much related in my mind to how Jesus
is viewed on YouTube. At least by some people. This
comes from mac Dash p. Six seven. And this might
be a bot. I get that, but the purpose of
bots is to be viewed by others. It's the bots
not entertaining itself. The bot could be learning, but the
purpose sometimes of bots like this in a YouTube environment
is to go and provide counterpoints of view because they're
trying to persuade others. Here's what this person and or
bot wrote. Jesus never claimed to be God, small g God,
the guy writes. Actually, he claimed to be God's son
and told his disciples to never bow or worship him.
He told them only his father's to be worshiped. If
Jesus is God, was God, then who did Jesus pray
to himself?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 1: He prayed to his father when his disciples when the
end would be? I think When his disciples asked when
the end would be, he said the angels. Neither the
angels nor the son know when they will be, but
only the Father knows. When Jesus was baptized, a voice
from heaven talking about his son. That wasn't himself being
a tranquil Try equiloists. When I say that, I say
that true. Yeah, just you know, when you speak for
others like the puppet, I can't say that tranquiloquist. I
can't say the word I got the Biden brain. And
this is really faith of firming. Gregory Busby two wrote
John ten thirty, I and the Father are one. Matthew
won twenty three and a response if Jesus wrote Okay,
so this is this is one conversation. So this guy
just writes back and says, well, no, actually, right here,
Jesus said I and the Father are one. And I
could choldin this response, and I think I did. In
the beginning. Was the word The word was with God.
The word was God. That's referring to God and Jesus
as one. You can go to Genesis, and you can
go to the Spirit of God moved across the waters.
You can go to any of the teachings, and you
can find any of the apostles saying nothing exists that
was not made for him or by him. So Jesus did,
in fact, did, in fact say I am the Law,
and that just about cost him his life. He said
that to a rabbi in a temple because he was
offered the opportunity to do the reading and they became upset. Right,
you're saying that the law has been fulfilled today? What
are you talking about? And eventually the Lord Jesus said,
I am the law, and they took him to a
cliff and tried to throw him off the cliff, but
he made his way through them and disappeared. I love that.
I love that aspect of Jesus. So this is sometimes
how he's viewed on YouTube. This is from ROB twenty
two forty nine or part of me OB twenty two
to forty nine. Again kind of bought like because using
numbers instead of letters. If Jesus wrote from the dead,
rose from the dead, what did he sacrifice? His return
fully functional three days later is conclusive proof. It wasn't
his life, So what did he sacrifice? Time? Now, if
this is an AI, it's a pretty good one, because
there was a follow on conversation I wrote and said
what really well? To begin with, he who was sinless
became sin. He took upon himself all of God's wrath
at human beings for a rebellion. Jesus, part of the
Triune God, had experienced separation from God, the Father, the
God of the universe, allowed himself to be scourged, meaning
beaten with whips and change to the point where, according
to historical views of these events, his ribs probably showed
through his back. He was forced to carry a probably
two undred pound cross while being whipped and spat upon.
He had spy tamber through his hands and feet. Jesus
likely died from asphyxiation as the weight of his body
slowly collapsed his lungs. So Jesus sacrificed his perfection, his
innocence is deedy, his safety, his body, his connection to
God the Father. Yes, he regained that all and now
offers us the opportunity to live forever with him in
heaven or to choose our own torture, your move. I
pray you choose Jesus. Then there's this. This is from
James Deret And by the way, I think that conversation
continue because I think I ended up talking about the
cups of wrath and what he took upon himself and
the things that we cannot take upon ourselves. I mentioned
in one of the commentaries that I think the editorial
team edited and took over to YouTube, and they focused
on my statements talking about the rich young ruler and
how the rich young ruler came to Lord Jesus and said, hey,
what do I need to do to get to the
Kingdom of Heaven? And the Lord Jesus said, hey, follow
the ten commandments. And the rich ung ruler said, look,
I've done that my whole life. I followed the ten commandments.
And then the Lord Jesus said, okay, well then do this.
Sell all the things you own, come back and follow me,
take up your cross, follow me, and the rich young
ruler went away sad. Now tradition is an interesting thing
because there are traditions in the Bible, or not in
the Bible, but around the Bible that say that the
rich young ruler went home and thought about it and
became a follower of Jesus, accept them as Lord and Savior,
confessed the fact that he was wedded to his riches,
and he was trusting and which is and money and
the things of this earth rather than Jesus, and so
he became eventually a believer and followed the Lord. There's
that tradition. I don't see anything in the Bible that
says that happened. But the topic came up of mercy,
and this guy wrote in sort of an interesting challenge,
and it was an interesting conversation. This is more faith
affirming to me because other people see these conversations talking
about the body of Christ. And I'll share this with
you in a second. When the Lord designed us, I
truly believe, I truly believe that the Lord signs his work.
I believe he signs it in music. There's a reason
why different cultures have different appreciation of different musical schemes.
In the West is four four. It's the one four
or five chord structure. It's attention and resolve of a
diminished back to the whole chord. There's a reason for
these things. I think God signs his work. I think
he signs it in the stars. The fact that we
can map travel through the stars, I think that's God's
signing his work. I think he signs his work in
our DNA, because people who've really looked into the human
genome and the DNA understand it to be unbelievably dynamic. Code,
truly dynamic and elegant. And it is code that writes code,
and it is hardware that builds hardware, and hardware that
can reproduce hardware in a moment a second, begin the
building process, and the copying of code process, and the
transcription process. So people who study God's work and the
signature can use it for miraculous outcomes or seeming miraculous.
They're not doing miracles, but they're harnessing some of the
common blessings God gave us. Our DNA is a common
blessing south of the border in Mexico, they're allowed to
do things here that we're not allowed to do. We
are not allowed to heal bodies with the most aculus
of substance called Wharton's jelly stem cells. In the case
of Renewed Dot Healthcare from Mexico, they do business there
because they can't do this up there up here in
the United States. They take up to forty two million
of these cells that they culture in their lab from
real cells, never from abortion, always from u bilical cords
and placentas. They culture them, and they put them into
your body to rebuild cartilage, muscle, tendon, and to destroy
inflammation that can destroy your body, things like carpal tunnel.
You might well be told for carpal tunnel, you have
to have your arm opened up and the tunnel through
which your tendin travels scraped. That is not true. In many,
many cases, it is simply not true. Or for things
that might seem more serious, like a limitation and mobility
because of a lower lumbar injury. Often that can be
addressed with stem cells instead of surgery. So you do
the decision making five days in Mexico at a beautiful resorts,
getting treated like you're walking into a beautiful w hotel
because that's how the resorts is built, or being put
to sleep and cut open. Go to renew dot Healthcare.
It's r E n ue dot Healthcare and they'll see
if they can help you. If they can, they'll tell
you the percentage chance of success and what success looks like.
If they can't help you, they will be very very
honest with you and say we're sorry. It's it's a
situation where he can't help. It's renewed dot Healthcare e
n u e dot Healthcare. So in a commentary I
talked about the rich young ruler and James Durrett seems
much more like an honest name wrote in and said,
what makes you think the rich man didn't receive mercy?
Of course he received mercy, I wrote back instead, I
hope so is that in the Bible. Is it in
the Bible that he didn't? Is God merciful? He wrote back.
And I wrote back and said, yeah, indeed he is.
If the rich young ruler accepted Jesus as his Lord
and savior, then he was saved. We could pray that
it happened. James Durrett wrote back to me. The Lord
is good to all. It is mercies all over all
that he's made Psalm verse nine. So mercy is all
over all that he may true. We just refer to
the common blessings, right, that's mercy. God provides the common
blessings to people who do justice and people who do
it justice or if you want to be more casual
about it, among the good and the evil. So I
wrote back to James, and I said, Acts Chapter four,
verses eighteen through twelve. Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit,
said to them, rulers and elders of the people, if
we're going to be called to account for an act
of kindness shown to a man who was lame, and
are being asked how it was healed, then know this,
you and all the people of Israel. It is by
the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you christified,
but whom God raised from the dead, that this man
stands before you healed. Jesus is the stone you builders
rejected and has become the cornerstone. Salvation is found in
no one else, for there's no other name under heaven
given to mankind by which we must be saved. And
James wrote back, Amen, I don't know if you're trying
to infer something or you really like that verse. So
you see the turners taking this is comment sections in
YouTube terrible places for communication. I took this to be snarky,
and maybe it wasn't. Maybe he's sincere. I don't get
it what you're saying, I wrote back, Salvation is found
that no one else, only in Jesus. The rich young
ruler needed to accept Jesus's savior to be saved even
with God's mercy. Point. That's snarky point. And then he added,
I don't know if you're purposely evitting the topic at hand,
or if you're just ensure what the topic was. So
I copied, and now we're into the great great cycle
of doom of the comment section. I quoted him. What
makes you think the rich man, young rich young man
didn't receive mercy. Of course he received mercy. I wrote,
that was the original comment. The threat is right here
above us, James writes to me, God's mercy isn't limited
to the Cross. God isn't limited in any way, shape
or form. But that is your sole focus. God was
merciful before Jesus. God was merciful through Jesus and after Jesus.
The issue with evangelicals is this God limiting dogmatic approach.
That's the issue with evangelicals because Catholics, of course say
you don't have to go through Jesus to get well, wait, no,
they don't. Yep. They do involve papal authority. They do
involve the intercession of bishops. They do involve a different
form of this. To me, it's Phariseean. It's a remaking
of the Pharisee systems. It is the high holies.
Speaker 2: We go here, you go there.
Speaker 1: That's one of the reasons I'm not Catholic. But they
do say you have to go through Jesus. So I
wrote back, thanks James for clarifying your opinion. Indeed, God
will's merciful because God is mercy. God is also truth
and light, and law and order and honesty. God sent
his only son to save us, and Jesus said, I
am the Way, the truth, and the life. No one
comes to the Father but through me. The Bible makes
it very very clear that in the Church Age there's
one and only one path to salvation, that is through
God's son, Jesus Christ. In the New Testament, there's no
wiggle room at all. So James writes back, and this
is again comment section tactic, interesting and kind of telling.
You left out love, he writes, in all caps in
your description of God, why would you leave it out?
I never understood people's reluctance to profess God's love. Now
I thought about saying and getting into the argument that no,
God demonstrates his love through mercy and kindness and law
and order and the common blessings. All of this conveys love.
But instead I tried to put my ego aside, and
I said this to James. You're correct, I didn't say love.
God is love. In fact, God's so ll loved in
all caps the world that he's in his only son,
that all who believe in him will be saved. James,
that's not what the verse is It says, shall not
perish and have eternal life. Jesus describes eternal life as
a relationship with him, not some everlasting torture chamber. And
to perish, meaning to lose or to be lost, means
they don't get that pleasure in this life. I wrote
back and said, you can prefer that translation. It doesn't
change the meaning. People who followed Jesus got to have
eternal life with him. People who deny him choose hell.
Jesus spoke often and clearly about hell, which is and
how to have heaven, which is through him only. And
they link to an article which is all the many
many times that Jesus warned about hell and described it.
Now I'm guessing, and I could guess that the face
structure from what this guy is coming. I could guess that,
but it would be truly a guess.
Speaker 2: But just know this.
Speaker 1: It is absolutely impossible to make the case that the
New Testament has any way to heaven. But through Jesus
that case cannot be made, and he failed to make it.
It would have been more fun to have the conversation
in person, because I'm guessing he's probably a decent guy.
Comment sections are terrible places for reasoning, but you can
see what's going on in YouTube. Some of our best
performing videos have been on the topic of what Christians
should think about X or what does the Christian definition
of marriage actually mean? And a lot of them our
responses to woke pastors. Praise God for using YouTube and
praise God for a change I've seen in President Trump.
And maybe you saw the same exact change that I did.
It's a difficult thing sometimes to admit that you've had problems,
and there were some problems with bone Frog Cellar. It
was never the wine. The wine's always been fantastic. There
was a supply chain issue and then a tech platform issue,
so we've been a while before we could talk about wine.
There's also complete transparency. And I talked to Tim Krukshank,
my dear friend who runs bone Frog Coffee and bone
Frog Sellers. He's the retired Navy seal who did three
deployments into war for US, and I said, Tim, Tim,
I'll talk about the wines. I just don't like wine.
I don't like the taste of it. And I've had
one drop of alcohol in the last twenty years. That
one that's inaccurate, maybe a half cup of alcohol in
the last twenty years. So he took that fine, just
tell people about the wine, No, no, I need people
to taste it. So we brought up with some very
very dear friends of ours who range from like my
daughter who likes wine. She thought it was delicious. I've
run video testifying to that, to some friends of ours
who drink it with dinner. My wife's one of those people.
She likes wine with dinner. To some friends of ours
who you could really describe as wine experts. They can
talk about which regions produce which grapes, and which time
period is the solid time to get great wine. They
understand vintages, and this happened to be I think the
twenty fifteen vintage. So if you like the story of
bone Frog, you love God Country Team, you love that insignia,
the bone Frog itself, which signifies a fallen seal, and
you like ten percent of proceeds going to the Navy
Seal Foundation. How about your stock up on a bunch
of this for the holidays. Go to Bonefrogsellers dot com
slash todd. You get ten percent off all their products
there Bonefrogsellers dot com slash todd. I saw something in
President Trump, I've been praying to see I really really
feel that he's being legitimately sincere when he says this.
Speaker 6: But as I look back at my life's sharingy and events,
I now recognize that it's been the hand of God
leading me to where I am. To that thank you,
and my faith took on new meaning on July thirteenth
in Butler, Pennsylvania, where I was knocked to the ground
essentially by what seemed like a super natural hand. And
I would like to think that God saved me for
a purpose, and that's to make our country greater than
ever before.
Speaker 1: So the President was reading those remarks, but he read
them well, and I perceive in him, and I wonder
if you're the same. I perceive in him an actual
humility to this, I think humility is one of the
hard things to pretend to have. So she spoke so
much about God's words. Let's look at a couple of
things from Proverbs. In jail Sames, Proverbs chapter twenty two,
verse four. The reward for humility and fear of the
Lord is richest in honor and life. By the way,
that doesn't always mean on earth. Proverbs chapter eleven, verse
two when pride comes, then comes disgrace. But with the
humble is wisdom. And then James Chapter four, verse ten,
humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will exalt you.
I've been hoping to see this form of humility, and
President Trump, I've also been hoping to see this very,
very real call to all Christians to vote. There is
an effort in Arizona, a bunch of false, heretical Catholics
who are trying to organize other Catholics to simply not vote.
We need to do what's right, even if the outcome
is not certain. We're given the opportunity to vote in
this country. I think it's our responsibility to vote, and
I beg you to as you vote, pray Godly protection
over your ballot. But the forces of the evil not
be allowed to steal it, or obscure it, or change it.
God's power is real, and Jesus has delegated to us
some of his own powers, among them praying protection upon things.
President Trump delivered a message to Christians.
Speaker 6: So I'm here tonight to deliver a simple message to
Christians across America. It's time to stand up and save
your country.
Speaker 2: Thank you, very mum.
Speaker 4: Thank you very much.
Speaker 6: November fifth, Christian voters need to turn out in the
largest numbers ever. Do you know that if you did that,
because you have a reputation of not voting proportionately like
you should, you do know that? I think that maybe
is a form of rebellion. Could that be possible? You know,
the two groups, not to equate them, but they are
probably associated in some form. But Christians evangelicals that Christians
and gun owners. Gun owners don't vote. They vote, but
very small proportions. If they did, or if Christians did,
nobody could ever beat us.
Speaker 1: It's right numerically, and in blue states, it's even worse.
In the separate country of Washington State, for instance, if
you got ninety percent Republicans turnout, you could overcome the
truly fallen Babylon of Seattle. So what would keep you
from doing it in any of the states? Can I
suggest that it's pride. I won't be part of a
broken system. I won't do it so broken. I'm not
going to take the time. But it's something else, believing
that God couldn't come and say, yeah, you can try
to rig this one. I let you do the last one.
I let you rig the last one so people would see,
in other words, cutting in half the curtain into the
Temple America. Lord Jesus died. The curtain in the temple
was torn in half, this massive curtain between the people
and the Holy of Holies. It was God saying, you
don't need you don't need the Pharisees and the Sadas
season anymore. You can come to me through Jesus. Right here.
Our temple in America has been the government. I think
God tore that curtain down and said, look here, look
look at Oz, look at the little man running things.
So for us to trust God is to trust that
he can also protect elections, and I hope you'll do that.
I think it's important. Lord, thank you for reminding us
that fearing You in the proper way is the beginning
of wisdom. This is a Todd Hermer show. Please go,
be well, be strong, be kind, Please make every effort
to walk in the light of Christ.
