They'll take care 11 00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:40,960 of this for you in seven easy steps. The website 12 00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:44,799 is gobisible dot com. Speaking so much about God's word today, 13 00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:49,320 let's pause and thank God specifically for his word always 14 00:00:49,439 --> 00:00:53,320 useful for teaching, rebuke and knowledge. Thank you God Almighty. 15 00:00:55,399 --> 00:00:59,280 Speaker 2: But Todd Harman Show is one percent disapproved by big 16 00:00:59,359 --> 00:01:08,200 farmatchnocoats and tyrants everywhere from the high mountains of Free America. 17 00:01:09,439 --> 00:01:15,079 Here's the Emerald City, exime Todd Herman. 18 00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:36,959 Speaker 1: Today is the day the Lord has made, and these 19 00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:39,599 are the times to which God has decided we shall live. 20 00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:44,359 And Michelle Obama raised up a generation of black women 21 00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:46,959 in politics, and she was said to have been a 22 00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:52,760 presidential contender and she's come out. She said something during well, 23 00:01:52,799 --> 00:01:55,159 she said a bunch of things during a podcast interview. 24 00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:58,640 One of them as people really really interested in is 25 00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:02,040 she a dude? That's a rumor, and we should confess 26 00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:03,840 it's a rumor. There's a lot of people who believe 27 00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:06,359 she's a dude. And you know, of course, there's no 28 00:02:06,439 --> 00:02:08,240 way that a man would ever ap pretend to be 29 00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:10,840 a woman. It's not a thing that would ever occur. 30 00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:14,520 It's a rumor if that's all it is. And Michelle 31 00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:18,280 Obama said something about black women. A lot of things 32 00:02:18,319 --> 00:02:21,639 about black women, but this one struck me as odd 33 00:02:21,759 --> 00:02:25,159 because she's actually saying the thing she says black women 34 00:02:25,199 --> 00:02:28,199 don't say. And I'm pretty sure i've heard black women 35 00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:31,919 kind of communicate this maybe a lot in society. 36 00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:36,280 Speaker 3: We don't articulate as black women are pain because it's 37 00:02:36,319 --> 00:02:40,000 almost like nobody ever gave us permission to do that. 38 00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:41,120 Speaker 1: And does anyone care? 39 00:02:41,719 --> 00:02:43,639 Speaker 3: Yeah, there's now they care? 40 00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:47,159 Speaker 1: Is that we dow? I think we would care if 41 00:02:47,159 --> 00:02:49,199 we knew, if we knew. 42 00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:52,960 Speaker 3: Or you know, yeah, and we have to ask ourselves. 43 00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:58,159 The men in our lives. Is you know, why wait 44 00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:02,319 to be asked? You know, it seems like what we 45 00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:05,520 go through is pretty obvious. I mean, maybe we're not complaining, 46 00:03:05,599 --> 00:03:10,520 but we're actually living life out loud. You know, I. 47 00:03:10,439 --> 00:03:14,280 Speaker 1: Know nothing about her form of so called black culture. 48 00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:17,840 I know nothing about her marriage to Barack Hussain Obama. 49 00:03:18,319 --> 00:03:21,759 I know nothing about that. But I do know that 50 00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:26,479 she has personally communicated her pain to this nation on 51 00:03:26,599 --> 00:03:30,159 multiple occasions, saying things like, for the first time in 52 00:03:30,199 --> 00:03:31,840 the history of her life, she was proud of her 53 00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:34,000 country because Barack Cusine Obama got to be in the 54 00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:39,159 White House. We all heard that pain communicated. We saw 55 00:03:39,199 --> 00:03:42,360 her demonstrate her pain and disdain for America by refusing 56 00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:44,400 to cover her heart during the Pledge of Allegiance. We 57 00:03:44,439 --> 00:03:48,759 saw all the demonstrations of this, and I guess in 58 00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:51,759 her black culture, if they're not given permission for that, 59 00:03:51,759 --> 00:03:55,439 that's a problematic thing. That's a problem in marriages and relationships. 60 00:03:55,439 --> 00:03:58,800 But do you honestly believe that you don't see instances 61 00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:01,560 of black women communicating with pain. We could go through 62 00:04:01,599 --> 00:04:04,840 all the TV people that do that. The view that's 63 00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:09,680 what they do is constantly speak of their pain. But 64 00:04:09,719 --> 00:04:12,719 there's some other things that she said, and she talked 65 00:04:12,719 --> 00:04:15,479 about her and Barack Obama. You know, there was a 66 00:04:15,479 --> 00:04:18,360 point where she hated the country when they were initially 67 00:04:18,439 --> 00:04:21,399 running for presidents and the nation. You know, just the 68 00:04:21,759 --> 00:04:23,720 media choose not to focus on these things. So I 69 00:04:23,759 --> 00:04:25,240 want to get to more of what she said because 70 00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:27,079 I think it's healthy to look at what she says. 71 00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:30,360 Because she's brought up a world of black leaders, including 72 00:04:30,439 --> 00:04:33,319 Jasmin Crockett. We'll get to something new Jasmine Crockett said, 73 00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:37,279 because Jasmine Crockett is a constant source of pain and 74 00:04:37,319 --> 00:04:43,000 information and acting because she's either a ebonics speaking person 75 00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:46,680 or she is not. And it's not code shifting because 76 00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:49,439 she's doing it performatively, which is I think very unhealthy 77 00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:52,199 for the country. There's a whole series of things that 78 00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:54,920 are unhealthy for the country. And in fact, Michelle Obama 79 00:04:54,959 --> 00:04:58,639 was one of the chief actors in destroying American healthcare 80 00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:02,120 with Obamacare. One of the things they did was turn 81 00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:06,040 doctors into pill pushers and form fillers and iPad readers, 82 00:05:06,519 --> 00:05:11,720 and they took away entrepreneurial doctorship by forcing doctors, if 83 00:05:11,759 --> 00:05:13,920 they had medical clinics, to be part of a hospital, 84 00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:17,959 so no doubt there came a rise of facilities that 85 00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:20,120 don't take insurance so they didn't have to play that 86 00:05:20,199 --> 00:05:23,720 game direct patient care. It's called I'm on the board 87 00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:27,560 nonprofit board of a direct patient care facility. But it 88 00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:31,920 also gave rise to entrepreneurial doctors leaving the country. So 89 00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:35,439 my friend Steve Anderson, when he decided to start renew Healthcare, 90 00:05:35,519 --> 00:05:38,279 he had to go to portavart to Mexico because one 91 00:05:38,319 --> 00:05:41,600 of the key things they do is use stem cells 92 00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:46,120 from umbilical cords, which they then culture, so there's very 93 00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:49,079 little risk of any dead stem cells getting in people's bodies, 94 00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:53,879 which is horrible, painful bad. Secondly, the quality is extremely high. 95 00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:56,920 They have the advantage of turning away eighty percent of 96 00:05:56,959 --> 00:06:00,759 the umbilical cords they receive, so house is used well. 97 00:06:00,959 --> 00:06:04,040 Like people who couldn't move can now move, people who 98 00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:07,879 are hemispherically paralyzed can now move, people who couldn't use 99 00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:10,000 their hands can now use their hands. And none of 100 00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:12,600 this was surgery. They've also saved three of my listeners' 101 00:06:12,639 --> 00:06:16,639 lives literally who are about to have heart attacks. So 102 00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:19,839 go to renewed dot Healthcare. It's r e n ue 103 00:06:19,879 --> 00:06:22,160 dot Healthcare. Please tell them you're part of the Todd 104 00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:24,560 Hermannshaw family and they'll tell me that and hopefully we 105 00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:26,560 can meet down there. Just met a bunch of viewers 106 00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:28,600 and listeners then a part of our it's about a 107 00:06:28,639 --> 00:06:31,519 month ago. It's renewed dot Healthcare and it's a healthy 108 00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:34,879 alternative to surgery, et cetera. So it's fascinating to look 109 00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:38,680 into Michelle Obama and what she says in a podcast 110 00:06:38,959 --> 00:06:41,759 with other black people because we're not invited into that 111 00:06:41,759 --> 00:06:44,240 realm with white people. And perhaps that's proper, but at 112 00:06:44,319 --> 00:06:45,399 least we can watch. 113 00:06:45,519 --> 00:06:48,319 Speaker 3: Very early on that that no one was going to 114 00:06:48,399 --> 00:06:52,199 see beyond the color of our skin at an early age, 115 00:06:53,439 --> 00:06:55,519 and that could get you in trouble. 116 00:06:55,959 --> 00:06:56,279 Speaker 2: Yeah. 117 00:06:56,399 --> 00:06:59,439 Speaker 4: I mean, when you talk about that fear, I'm sure 118 00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:03,959 that fear been tested across your life in so many 119 00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:07,319 different places. And I wonder what would you say has 120 00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:11,920 been the most hardest recent test of that fear, because 121 00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:13,279 it's not one of those fears that you kind of 122 00:07:13,279 --> 00:07:15,959 get over in it just goes away. Now that kind 123 00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:19,319 of shows its head in many that's interesting from ways 124 00:07:19,319 --> 00:07:21,480 I am in any different ways, So this is interesting 125 00:07:21,519 --> 00:07:24,480 to me. Because of course, it's very, very obvious. 126 00:07:24,199 --> 00:07:26,160 Speaker 1: That this is a former First Lady of the United 127 00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:29,519 States of America, and I think she may in fact 128 00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:33,319 be honest here, and I think it might be one 129 00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:36,759 of those those those gaffs, those Kinsey glaphs, where someone 130 00:07:36,839 --> 00:07:39,360 is accidentally honest. Remember she just talked about in a 131 00:07:39,399 --> 00:07:41,560 previous clip, and that was from another program, by the way, 132 00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:45,000 where she doesn't talk about her pain because black women don't. 133 00:07:46,079 --> 00:07:49,360 So what's the most recent example you, Michelle Obama being 134 00:07:49,439 --> 00:07:51,720 judged only for the color of your skin in this 135 00:07:51,879 --> 00:07:53,079 current climate. 136 00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:57,040 Speaker 3: For me, it's you know, what's happening to immigrants, you know, 137 00:07:57,120 --> 00:08:00,800 So it's it's not the fear for myself anymore. I 138 00:08:00,879 --> 00:08:04,360 drive around in a four car motorcade with a police escort. 139 00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:08,839 I'm Michelle Obama. I do still worry about my daughters 140 00:08:08,879 --> 00:08:11,519 in the world, even though they are somewhat recognizable. 141 00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:15,959 Speaker 1: So my feet recognizable and guarded by the Secret Service, is. 142 00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:19,079 Speaker 3: There four What I know is happening out there in 143 00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:22,279 streets all over the city. And now that we have 144 00:08:22,399 --> 00:08:27,040 leadership that is sort of indiscriminately determining who belongs and 145 00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:30,519 who doesn't, and we know that those decisions aren't being 146 00:08:30,879 --> 00:08:33,399 made with courts and with due process. 147 00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:36,720 Speaker 1: And okay, so now again we get to political life. 148 00:08:36,759 --> 00:08:38,559 She starts with a little bit of honesty. I drive 149 00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:42,480 around in armored limousines, et cetera. I'm guarded. She started 150 00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:45,600 with some of that. She now gets into the lies 151 00:08:45,639 --> 00:08:48,919 there's no due process. All these people have had due process. 152 00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:52,799 She gets into pretending that her husband didn't deport a 153 00:08:52,799 --> 00:08:55,559 bunch of people. Her husband deported five point three million people. 154 00:08:56,279 --> 00:08:59,200 But she sees making a point of speaking as a 155 00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:05,840 black woman. Then my question here is is it all 156 00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:10,120 your concern that it continues to be the fact that 157 00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:12,720 the number one cause of death of young black men 158 00:09:12,879 --> 00:09:16,960 is young black men? I mean, does that concern you 159 00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:22,159 a bit? See this has always been to me, the 160 00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:26,720 perversion and the perverse tragedy Barack Hussein Obama and Michelle 161 00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:28,679 Obama getting to be in the White House that they 162 00:09:28,759 --> 00:09:33,679 had a unique capability to stop that. Barack Obama could 163 00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:36,840 have given a speech in the heart of Chicago. He 164 00:09:36,879 --> 00:09:39,879 could have addressed the fact that the number one cause 165 00:09:39,919 --> 00:09:42,080 of death of young black men is young black men, 166 00:09:42,159 --> 00:09:45,159 and it's not guns. That's a tool. He could have 167 00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:50,039 done that and he never did that, and to me, 168 00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:53,639 I find that to be a perverse tragedy. And there's 169 00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:56,000 a rum of reasons is why he and Michelle might 170 00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:58,960 have chose not to do that. Maybe they thought they 171 00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:01,960 couldn't affect change. But wait a minute. Barack Obama is 172 00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:06,919 a guy who said, today is a day the ocean 173 00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:12,519 tides begin to reverse, begin to recede. This is a 174 00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:14,279 time or Earth or begins to heal. And it was 175 00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:19,000 about his presidency. He promised a messianic presence. They took 176 00:10:19,039 --> 00:10:22,360 all the pictures of Barack Obama where suddenly they always 177 00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:27,120 had halos behind him. Michelle Obama said, Barack is going 178 00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:30,039 to push us past our limits. He's gonna push us 179 00:10:30,039 --> 00:10:34,960 to change, hope and change. So it couldn't be that 180 00:10:35,039 --> 00:10:38,159 they the Obamas didn't think they could affect that change. 181 00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:43,559 They were busy with other things, seizing control of America's 182 00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:48,240 healthcare system on behalf of pharmaceutical companies. But they could 183 00:10:48,279 --> 00:10:53,159 have done it afterwards. They could have made that their 184 00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:58,159 focus or a focus. They could have made films about 185 00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:02,600 that instead of the film they did make about a 186 00:11:02,639 --> 00:11:07,559 dystopian society where stupid, inept white people who secretly want 187 00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:13,000 to have sex with black girls fail in the dystopia, 188 00:11:13,759 --> 00:11:16,919 whereas the wise and together black people have it all 189 00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:19,480 figured out that they could have They could have used 190 00:11:19,519 --> 00:11:24,840 their media empire that somehow got built around them to 191 00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:28,120 go and address the things in Chicago and the other 192 00:11:28,159 --> 00:11:30,840 cities where young black men kill young black men. So 193 00:11:31,279 --> 00:11:35,080 she starts honest and then recedes into political posturing. Here's 194 00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:37,039 the clip that gets all the attention. Then we'll get 195 00:11:37,039 --> 00:11:40,639 to Jasmine Crockett, who of course was raised under the 196 00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:45,799 at least from a far tuteligit mentorship of Michelle Obama. 197 00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:47,600 This is the clip everyone's paying attention to. 198 00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:51,120 Speaker 3: I wanted to talk Marlon a bit about, you know, 199 00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:55,440 just so proud of how you are being a role 200 00:11:55,480 --> 00:12:00,759 model for dealing with a child that's transgender, and that's 201 00:12:00,879 --> 00:12:04,039 you know, that warms my heart, particularly as a black man. 202 00:12:05,519 --> 00:12:08,840 Speaker 1: Okay, just so we know, when she says that she's 203 00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:13,960 touching her chest, Okay, that's where people are pointing at 204 00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:17,759 this and saying, oh, oh, oh see, now I think 205 00:12:17,799 --> 00:12:21,600 she's addressing him. She knows that he's a black man. 206 00:12:21,639 --> 00:12:24,279 I don't know how she knows that, because to my knowledge, 207 00:12:24,279 --> 00:12:26,200 she's never seen him naked, and you don't know what 208 00:12:26,799 --> 00:12:28,440 sex is un to someone's naked. 209 00:12:28,279 --> 00:12:28,840 Speaker 2: And even though. 210 00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:34,480 Speaker 3: Would you care to share that journey of well, I'll learn. 211 00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:39,600 Speaker 1: So the answer is less important than the question. I'm 212 00:12:39,639 --> 00:12:42,559 probably the question is more important than the answer because 213 00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:45,039 people are paying attention to this, and there's this proof. 214 00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:48,039 It's not proof, it's a clumsy bit of conversation. But 215 00:12:48,159 --> 00:12:52,320 remember her husband was the guy who, talking to George Stefanopoulos, said, 216 00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:58,200 you know, John McCain has never questioned my Muslim faith, 217 00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:05,559 and George Sefanopplo said you're Christian faith. And Barack Obama said, 218 00:13:05,759 --> 00:13:09,279 what you said Muslim? You meant Christian? Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, 219 00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:13,360 ye's right, I'm a Christian. Yeah, I forgot Jasmine Crockett 220 00:13:14,039 --> 00:13:17,960 talking about mass deportation. Jasmin Crockett, of course, at least 221 00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:21,639 raised from Afar with Michelle Obama as a political mentor. 222 00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:24,960 Speaker 5: As far as I'm consigning you randomly kidnapping folk and 223 00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:27,799 you're throwing them out of the country, against their civil rights, 224 00:13:27,799 --> 00:13:31,000 against their constitutional rights, And frankly, how would they feel 225 00:13:31,159 --> 00:13:33,600 if some other country decided that they were going to 226 00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:36,559 just start throwing people randomly in our country like that? 227 00:13:36,879 --> 00:13:38,840 That is absolutely insane. 228 00:13:39,279 --> 00:13:45,519 Speaker 1: So yes, wait, okay a, she's back to pretending to 229 00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:48,000 speak at Bonicley, this woman who never did that, who 230 00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:51,039 went to one hundred thousand dollars per year private school. 231 00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:55,080 And I continue to believe with my whole heart that 232 00:13:55,159 --> 00:13:57,480 Nancy Pelosi's told her, Look, you can have a leadership 233 00:13:57,519 --> 00:14:00,879 position here. You can be a star. The camera loves you, 234 00:14:00,879 --> 00:14:03,279 You love the camera. You're a pretty woman, but you 235 00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:05,399 need to be more black. But did you hear what 236 00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:09,279 she said? How would some other country feel if we 237 00:14:09,399 --> 00:14:13,799 just started dumping people into their country? See, there is 238 00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:16,120 such a thing as a Kinsley gaff or. Our politicians 239 00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:18,879 accidentally tell the truth. There's all such such a thing 240 00:14:18,919 --> 00:14:25,320 as a Freudian slip. Jasmin Crockett is not stupid. She 241 00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:29,320 attempts to sound stupid because that's part of the act. 242 00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:34,639 She's not stupid. She knows that's been the tactic, and 243 00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:38,399 so I think it just slipped out. And praise God 244 00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:43,480 for causing these people to babble sometimes, because in babbel 245 00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:51,200 or babbling is clarity story number two. In all the 246 00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:55,000 range of heretical pastors we've talked about, and we've talked 247 00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:58,039 about a bunch of heretical pastors. There's some patterns that 248 00:14:58,039 --> 00:15:01,559 are beginning to emerge. One of them is that everything 249 00:15:01,639 --> 00:15:06,480 is queer, therefore nothing is queer because if everything is something, 250 00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:09,240 then something is nothing. You see what I'm saying. If 251 00:15:09,279 --> 00:15:12,480 all things are hot, then nothing is actually hot. So 252 00:15:12,519 --> 00:15:14,759 the latest example of this I'll share with you, and 253 00:15:14,759 --> 00:15:16,720 then I'll share with you how you can do something 254 00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:22,480 unique to celebrate President Trump's attempts to return America to 255 00:15:22,559 --> 00:15:25,799 a golden age. And you can do this while giving 256 00:15:25,879 --> 00:15:29,360 money to the Navy Seal Foundation and getting something excellent 257 00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:31,480 in return. I'll share that with you in just a second. 258 00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:36,519 This is a Lutheran pastor explaining that the trip Moses 259 00:15:36,559 --> 00:15:38,879 made as a baby down the river, the River Nile, 260 00:15:39,519 --> 00:15:42,639 is not exactly what you've been taught to believe. This is, 261 00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:45,639 no doubt, an Elka church, which is the fallen version 262 00:15:45,759 --> 00:15:47,440 of the Lutheran religion. 263 00:15:47,799 --> 00:15:50,200 Speaker 6: I want to tell you about why the Exodus reading 264 00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:55,360 today tugs at my queer little heart. The story of 265 00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:58,039 Moses in the River is a favorite of mine. It's 266 00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:03,000 an extraordinary little tale about family, literally family found in 267 00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:06,759 the reeds, and all the beautifully messy ways that God 268 00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:10,919 calls us to be kin to one another outside heteronormative 269 00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:11,919 family structures. 270 00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:15,720 Speaker 1: Okay, so let's pause. Moses was born of a woman 271 00:16:16,759 --> 00:16:19,720 in a married relationship, and at the time, an evil 272 00:16:19,799 --> 00:16:25,799 king was when unaliving babies, so to rescue Moses, they 273 00:16:25,879 --> 00:16:29,480 flowed him down the river, having faith that God Almighty 274 00:16:29,519 --> 00:16:33,799 would carry out a plan to save Moses. Moses landed 275 00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:38,200 in a place where a princess found him, a princess 276 00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:43,159 who was the result of a heteronormative relationship. Okay, so 277 00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:44,840 where are we getting to the queer parts. 278 00:16:46,799 --> 00:16:51,399 Speaker 6: It seems that Pharaoh's daughter understands that Moses's origins are important. 279 00:16:52,159 --> 00:16:54,960 They are part of him, and moreover, they're part of 280 00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:58,799 how he got to her. So I think her choice 281 00:16:58,799 --> 00:17:01,519 to name him as she does is also a choice 282 00:17:01,519 --> 00:17:05,920 to love him relentlessly and unconditionally. I think it is 283 00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:09,680 a tiny act of resistance against an oppressive empire that 284 00:17:09,799 --> 00:17:13,240 enslaved Moses's people. I think it's a promise to keep 285 00:17:13,319 --> 00:17:14,000 him safe. 286 00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:16,240 Speaker 1: So where do we get to the queer stuff? I mean, 287 00:17:16,319 --> 00:17:20,200 Chardy said that this is an act against heteronormativity, and incidentally, 288 00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:23,400 if there was no heteronormativity, there'd be no, people. 289 00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:26,599 Speaker 6: I think it's a commitment to helping him remember where 290 00:17:26,599 --> 00:17:29,960 he came from and to appreciate all the parts of himself. 291 00:17:32,839 --> 00:17:37,400 So too with us and God. I want to focus 292 00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:39,640 on the ways in which this is particularly true for 293 00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:44,359 queer folks. There's the relatively obvious God creates, sees, and 294 00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:45,880 loves our queerness before we do. 295 00:17:46,559 --> 00:17:48,240 Speaker 1: Okay, so pause, No, he doesn't. 296 00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:49,359 Speaker 2: Now. 297 00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:52,680 Speaker 1: You may say that some people are born same sex attracted, 298 00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:55,559 and I think that's true. Some people are other people 299 00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:58,400 choose that path, and in our current state of affairs 300 00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:02,039 in the United States, pushed into that. They're pushed to 301 00:18:02,079 --> 00:18:04,920 declare that early and often because otherwise they're part of 302 00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:08,119 an oppressive class. Ask any teenager who will tell you 303 00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:12,039 the truth. But no, the queer part of this is no, 304 00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:16,200 God does not love sexual sin. He didn't love it 305 00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:18,440 then and he doesn't love it now. He doesn't love 306 00:18:19,359 --> 00:18:24,240 opposite sex sin and sex fornication, that is sex outside 307 00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:27,079 of marriage or adultery, married people having sex with people 308 00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:31,839 not their husband or wife. He doesn't love that. And 309 00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:34,359 there are some people born with the proclivity to steal things, 310 00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:38,720 kleptom aniacal. He doesn't love that. He doesn't love sin behavior, 311 00:18:39,519 --> 00:18:42,119 and Moses was not a sinner. Moses was a little baby. 312 00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:45,839 Now see the pattern here with all of these churches 313 00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:49,640 is that God must be queered. I saw a bumper 314 00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:52,240 strip to the Dana car that said God is non binary, 315 00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:55,319 with the so called transflag behind it. Now, in fact, 316 00:18:55,359 --> 00:19:00,720 God is binary. There are certainly female aspects to God 317 00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:05,319 or feminine. There are feminine aspects to most people, but 318 00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:09,279 God is referred to in the masculine by choice. You 319 00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:13,720 either believe the Bible is the living Word of God, 320 00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:17,680 unchangeable and unchanging. You either believe that or you don't. 321 00:19:19,359 --> 00:19:23,079 But the consistent thread through now the leftist gospel fake 322 00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:27,440 churches is that Jesus must be queered in every possible way. 323 00:19:27,519 --> 00:19:30,640 How does this help same sex attracted people to take 324 00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:34,720 out this spiritual catfishing thing where you are catfishing them 325 00:19:34,759 --> 00:19:37,440 into believing they're following Jesus, but he has nothing to 326 00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:41,000 do with who Jesus actually is. The Nile River story 327 00:19:41,079 --> 00:19:42,920 is the latest attempt to do this. They did it 328 00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:46,440 with Jesus riding the donkey into Jerusalem. That was a 329 00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:50,079 that was a drag queen act. The desperation is to 330 00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:53,240 make Jesus as broken as us. If Jesus Christus is 331 00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:55,480 broken as us, guess what, we don't need him, and 332 00:19:55,519 --> 00:19:59,559 we desperately need him, all of us. And I promise 333 00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:01,440 to share this with you, and I will. There's a 334 00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:04,599 way that you can celebrate President Trump's attempts to right 335 00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:06,880 size the American economy and what he calls a new 336 00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:11,160 Golden Age. My friend Tim Krukshank is a retired Navy seal. 337 00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:14,200 He did three deployments for you and for me, willing 338 00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:16,519 to lay down his life for us. No greater left 339 00:20:16,519 --> 00:20:19,359 has man. And he's the CEO and founder of bone 340 00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:22,759 Frog Coffee, which makes world class coffee under the tutelage 341 00:20:22,799 --> 00:20:24,920 and mentorship of a guy named Dave Stewart who started 342 00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:28,920 Seattle's Best Coffee. Tim just introduced this bag. It is 343 00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:32,359 the Golden Age bag, and as you can see, it 344 00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:36,160 represents a reborn America under the golden ings of wings 345 00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:39,799 of the American Bold Eagle, and the roast in this 346 00:20:40,039 --> 00:20:42,960 is phenomenal. It is a one time, very limited roast. 347 00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:46,200 So go to Bonefrog Coffee dot com slash todd use 348 00:20:46,279 --> 00:20:48,720 code todd to get ten percent off your first purchase 349 00:20:49,079 --> 00:20:52,319 at Bonefrogcoffee dot com slash Todd use code Todd to 350 00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:55,960 get fifteen percent off subscription coffee and don't be surprised 351 00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:57,960 when the bags arrived, because they will say on it 352 00:20:58,559 --> 00:21:01,440 God Country Team, because Tim chooses to live his life. 353 00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:04,920 It's Bonefrog Coffee dot Com slash Todd promo Code Todd 354 00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:10,519 story number three. This has gotten a ton of attention. 355 00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:13,519 And the first time I saw it, I didn't know 356 00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:16,039 who this woman was. I did not know who Valencia 357 00:21:16,079 --> 00:21:20,039 Gomez was, which is the point. That's why the video 358 00:21:20,119 --> 00:21:24,000 was made. And it's a super smart tactic. And I'll 359 00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:26,839 explain why it's a tactic in a second. But here's 360 00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:32,039 my concern. I think she's had her reward. So when 361 00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:35,720 you go out to confront, let's say, a different culture 362 00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:39,279 and a culture that doesn't follow Jesus, what are the 363 00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:43,680 patterns Jesus used? So I'm not saying that this woman 364 00:21:43,759 --> 00:21:47,960 is running to be pastor of Texas or a spiritual 365 00:21:48,039 --> 00:21:50,599 leader of Texas. She is running to be a politician, 366 00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:53,599 or she's a politician running for office. She wants to 367 00:21:53,599 --> 00:21:57,559 be in Congress, and she has chosen a platform that 368 00:21:57,720 --> 00:22:01,960 in a way mimics what President Trump should. It's apparently 369 00:22:02,079 --> 00:22:05,839 a third rail in Texas politics to recognize the fact 370 00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:09,920 that there are cities in Texas that are being built 371 00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:15,400 up to be one Muslim and that they're investors who 372 00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:18,559 are investing in this, and that, in fact, some of 373 00:22:18,599 --> 00:22:23,359 the most radical mosques in America are in Texas, and 374 00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:27,319 we've played videos of people speaking in those mosques and 375 00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:31,440 cheering on the unaliving of the Jewish people, for instance. 376 00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:36,759 So this woman went to an event apparently held by 377 00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:42,279 Muslims and in the presence of Muslims, and this is 378 00:22:42,279 --> 00:22:44,160 what she did when she got on stage. And my 379 00:22:44,279 --> 00:22:46,759 question is has she had her reward? 380 00:22:49,519 --> 00:22:53,160 Speaker 5: Is a religion of rape, is a pedophilia where they 381 00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:55,960 bound down to a stupid, wrong and elass prophet. 382 00:23:28,559 --> 00:23:31,440 Speaker 3: Get here, go back in your go back in your cage, 383 00:23:31,519 --> 00:23:36,559 doesn't try something. 384 00:23:36,599 --> 00:23:44,079 Speaker 2: But I think we're we're rolling. We're rolling. 385 00:23:44,599 --> 00:23:47,960 Speaker 1: So you heard what she said, and you heard what 386 00:23:48,039 --> 00:23:50,880 they said. They called her a dog, and she spoke 387 00:23:51,079 --> 00:23:59,400 of rampants, rampants, infliction of lustful violence on women by 388 00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:03,400 people practic you're seeing the Muslim faith. So it went 389 00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:07,519 ultra viral. I now know who she is. I've spoken 390 00:24:07,559 --> 00:24:10,119 about her here I've spoken about her this week on 391 00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:15,799 two national radio programs. So Jesus might say to her, 392 00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:21,359 you had your reward well done. How does this compare 393 00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:25,279 it to how Jesus did things? Is this winning hearts 394 00:24:25,279 --> 00:24:28,359 and minds? And I want to explore that this. We 395 00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:31,279 think about the body of Christ and how we get 396 00:24:31,319 --> 00:24:33,359 people into the body of Christ. I mean, we are 397 00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:35,599 all actress within the body of Christ. We all are 398 00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:38,599 given some role within the body of Christ. Sometimes there 399 00:24:38,599 --> 00:24:41,559 are spiritual gifts people have. Sometimes there are just ordinary 400 00:24:41,599 --> 00:24:43,960 gifts people have that we are used, were asked to 401 00:24:44,079 --> 00:24:46,640 use to build the Kingdom. This woman clearly is a 402 00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:50,119 good speaker. God's clearly availed her of that. So maybe 403 00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:52,519 she is one of the mouths of the body of Christ. 404 00:24:52,599 --> 00:24:54,839 Maybe that's what she's been asked to do. Is that 405 00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:57,400 what she's doing? And if you think about the body 406 00:24:57,400 --> 00:24:59,440 of Christ, think about it like our bodies. There are 407 00:24:59,519 --> 00:25:03,079 parts of our bodies that sometimes are unheralded. You know, 408 00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:05,400 the thumb is not a very sexy thing. But then again, 409 00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:08,519 if you've ever seen animals without unopposable thumbs, they have 410 00:25:08,559 --> 00:25:11,839 trouble holding guns. You know. I've often seen a cat 411 00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:13,319 try to pick up a gun. They just can't do it. 412 00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:16,359 Ain't got no thumb. So we are given thumbs, and 413 00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:19,839 we don't give them enough thanks. Now, everything in our bodies, 414 00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:24,599 everything benefits from having more and healthier muscle. Your stature, 415 00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:28,440 the way you stand, your ability to digest foods, the 416 00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:31,240 ability to support yourself, to not fall over, to stand up, 417 00:25:31,279 --> 00:25:34,200 to run, to liftings, to defend yourselves, to live along, 418 00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:38,119 time to burn calories all dependent upon muscle. And there's 419 00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:39,480 a lot of people who don't want to do what 420 00:25:39,559 --> 00:25:41,400 I do, which is go out and lift a ton 421 00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:43,119 of weights and do a ton of crossfits and a 422 00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:45,839 ton of bodywork and gymnastics and all that. They just 423 00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:49,160 want to live their life. So here's a hack. Whether 424 00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:51,960 you're a gym rat or not, here's a simple hack. 425 00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:55,720 It's called mass szymes. This is a set of digestive 426 00:25:55,839 --> 00:25:59,000 enzymes that is dedicated to one thing and one thing only. 427 00:25:59,279 --> 00:26:02,160 That is taking what whatever protein you eat and churning 428 00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:05,880 it into more amino acids sixteen hundred times more. It 429 00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:09,960 used to be sixteen hundred times. They've now reformulated mass 430 00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:13,440 symes so it is thirty percent more potent. So, in 431 00:26:13,440 --> 00:26:15,920 addition to helping you build muscle and maintain it. It 432 00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:20,039 does something else. It destroys bloating, and bloating keeps you 433 00:26:20,079 --> 00:26:22,319 awake at night. It puts pressure on your organs, can 434 00:26:22,319 --> 00:26:24,880 make it difficult to sleep and to breathe, et cetera. 435 00:26:25,599 --> 00:26:29,440 And when you do this, make it a rhythm.

This woman, 441 00:26:48,319 --> 00:26:53,039 Valencia Gomez, has been given a natural talent. It seems 442 00:26:53,079 --> 00:26:56,480 maybe she developed a speaking talent. But usually God gives 443 00:26:56,559 --> 00:27:00,119 people in certain ways, so she is given that. She's 444 00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:03,559 clearly given a heart of fearlessness. I mean, you could 445 00:27:03,559 --> 00:27:05,920 say that she's gone into the lions den fair enough. 446 00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:08,559 You could say that she stood up to the gates 447 00:27:08,599 --> 00:27:12,160 of Hades fair enough, and then what did she do 448 00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:18,200 with that? There are certainly some times that Jesus Christ 449 00:27:18,319 --> 00:27:23,079 went and spoke some harsh words to who leaders of 450 00:27:23,119 --> 00:27:27,799 the Jewish faith. Jesus was a Jewish man, and please 451 00:27:28,079 --> 00:27:31,160 don't fill the comment sections with he wasn't a practicing jew. 452 00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:38,000 That's silliness, that stupidness. Jesus was called Rabbi. Jesus celebrated 453 00:27:38,039 --> 00:27:43,440 the Passover. Jesus grew up Jewish. Jesus loved his father's house. 454 00:27:43,759 --> 00:27:45,599 That's where he was when he was lost from his 455 00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:48,319 family for three days. He was in his father's house. 456 00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:51,480 So please don't fill the comment sections with that unless 457 00:27:51,519 --> 00:27:54,839 you can back it up. So there were times when 458 00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:59,000 Jesus was quite harsh, where Jesus spoke to the Pharisees 459 00:27:59,039 --> 00:28:03,599 as a brood of vipers or whitewashed tombs, meaning that 460 00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:05,680 you look good on the outset, on the inside you 461 00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:08,400 are walking death, and what he meant, of course, to 462 00:28:08,480 --> 00:28:11,119 spiritual death. There was the turning over the table, the 463 00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:14,240 tables in the temple, and there stops the instances of 464 00:28:14,319 --> 00:28:21,440 Jesus speaking harshly to leaders. There were the times where 465 00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:24,279 he spoke an occasional heart sentence harsh sentence to his followers, 466 00:28:24,319 --> 00:28:28,039 get behind me, Satan, when when Peter was christioning whether 467 00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:30,680 Jesus would go to the cross, Get behind me, Satan, 468 00:28:32,039 --> 00:28:35,839 But when Jesus Christ went into the biggest lion den ever, 469 00:28:37,680 --> 00:28:42,400 which was leading up to his crucifixion, Jesus could have lectured. 470 00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:48,680 He had all the audience that you'd want. All the 471 00:28:48,759 --> 00:28:53,759 right people. The Pharisees he called, broods of vipers and 472 00:28:53,839 --> 00:29:00,359 whitewashed tombs were there. They were demanding his death. Roman 473 00:29:00,440 --> 00:29:05,400 leaders like Ponscious Pilots, who ultimately allowed the crucifixion to occur. 474 00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:09,119 Poncious didn't want to do it, but he did. He 475 00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:14,240 was there. By tradition, Poncious Pilot's wife was there, who said, 476 00:29:14,279 --> 00:29:17,559 have nothing to do with this man. I think that 477 00:29:17,559 --> 00:29:19,079 even peers in one of the Gospels have nothing to 478 00:29:19,119 --> 00:29:21,079 do with this man. In tradition tells us that she 479 00:29:21,279 --> 00:29:26,359 was haunted by that decision. So here's Jesus with all 480 00:29:26,400 --> 00:29:30,039 the right people in the crowd, people who hated him, 481 00:29:30,079 --> 00:29:35,400 as Jews, as non Jews, as Pagans, as Romans. He 482 00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:39,559 could have lectured. He could have said what she said. 483 00:29:41,160 --> 00:29:46,279 He submitted. He said to Ponscious Pilots, who had said 484 00:29:46,319 --> 00:29:48,119 to Jesus, don't you know that I have the power 485 00:29:48,160 --> 00:29:52,640 of life over death of you and Jesus after refusing 486 00:29:52,680 --> 00:29:57,000 to speak to him basically said, you have no power 487 00:29:57,000 --> 00:30:01,359 for me, but that which my father grants. Jesus had 488 00:30:01,359 --> 00:30:04,440 also also made very very clear that yes, he was 489 00:30:04,440 --> 00:30:07,359 a King's pilot asked him, are you a king? He said, 490 00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:12,240 so you've said, that's misunderstood. It was considered a bad 491 00:30:12,279 --> 00:30:14,680 thing to testify on your own behalf. And so Jesus said, 492 00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:18,200 so you've said. Jesus asked in one of the gospels, 493 00:30:18,519 --> 00:30:20,359 are you asking this of your own volition? Or did 494 00:30:20,359 --> 00:30:24,319 others tell you these things? And Jesus did say that 495 00:30:24,359 --> 00:30:28,039 he was a king. It wasn't is but not of 496 00:30:28,079 --> 00:30:30,480 this earth. Who was he speaking to? 497 00:30:30,559 --> 00:30:30,759 Speaker 2: Then? 498 00:30:32,839 --> 00:30:36,240 Speaker 1: He was speaking to ponscious pilots in a select group 499 00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:42,000 of people. Later, when he was being forced to carry 500 00:30:42,039 --> 00:30:45,720 the cross through the streets, and he did this silently, 501 00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:48,480 subjecting himself to this because he could have called down 502 00:30:48,559 --> 00:30:52,240 a legion of angels. Who was he preaching to at 503 00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:57,279 that time? With his actions, well, all around him saw 504 00:30:57,359 --> 00:31:02,799 him submitting and this is a messiah, this is the 505 00:31:02,799 --> 00:31:05,519 military leader who's going to take us out from under 506 00:31:05,559 --> 00:31:08,160 the grip of Rome. A lot of people asking a 507 00:31:08,160 --> 00:31:12,160 ton of questions. Then, when Christ went to the cross, 508 00:31:12,240 --> 00:31:14,359 and most of the people there, ninety five percent of 509 00:31:14,400 --> 00:31:17,880 the people there were there to watch him be tortured 510 00:31:17,920 --> 00:31:21,400 and to die and to celebrate that. And at that 511 00:31:21,519 --> 00:31:24,680 point then Jesus could have said, do you see what 512 00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:28,359 these people are doing? I am an innocent man, and 513 00:31:28,400 --> 00:31:30,519 here they are doing this to me. Do you see 514 00:31:30,519 --> 00:31:33,240 what they are Do you see what they've done to 515 00:31:33,279 --> 00:31:36,319 my hands and feet? Do you see what they think 516 00:31:36,359 --> 00:31:43,759 of me? And he didn't. His concern was for his 517 00:31:43,880 --> 00:31:46,920 mothers and his friends. Behold your mother, he said to 518 00:31:47,039 --> 00:31:54,200 John the Apostle, Jesus loved, behold your son. His concern 519 00:31:54,279 --> 00:31:56,759 was for the people who were crucifying him, forgive them, father, 520 00:31:56,880 --> 00:32:00,799 they know not what they do. His concern was for 521 00:32:00,839 --> 00:32:03,400 a thief next to him, because he was surrounded by thieves. 522 00:32:03,960 --> 00:32:06,599 One of the thieves recognized the deity of Jesus Christ, 523 00:32:06,640 --> 00:32:09,039 so his concern was for him. And after that man 524 00:32:09,119 --> 00:32:12,319 confessed those things, Jesus made a promise. Truly, I tell 525 00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:14,440 you that, truly today I tell you you will be 526 00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:18,039 in paradise with me. He made a promise, not just 527 00:32:18,079 --> 00:32:22,480 to him, but he did that in front of everybody 528 00:32:22,880 --> 00:32:26,440 that was not a select audience, that was a big audience, 529 00:32:26,480 --> 00:32:31,000 we're told traditionally. So they all heard, and they all watched, 530 00:32:31,799 --> 00:32:34,440 and they all watched him commend his spirit to his 531 00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:36,440 father in heaven after he went through that moment of pain, 532 00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:38,920 My father, my father, why of you are forgiven a 533 00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:41,160 Why have you forsake of me? It's actually daddy daddy 534 00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:44,680 if you think about that, from respective of translating Abba 535 00:32:44,759 --> 00:32:50,200 abbah daddy daddy. That's what he did in a moment 536 00:32:50,240 --> 00:32:55,000 where he was in the actual lions dead. Now, how 537 00:32:55,039 --> 00:32:58,240 do he said all those things and made those accusations 538 00:32:58,279 --> 00:33:00,480 which wouldn't have had accusations, they would have been facts. 539 00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:04,759 How special would the resurrection have been? Still pretty amazing. 540 00:33:07,759 --> 00:33:11,000 But when a man who subjected himself to this in 541 00:33:11,319 --> 00:33:19,920 perfect submission rose again, that was the power that changed 542 00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:23,519 the world. So I'm not saying in here that we 543 00:33:23,640 --> 00:33:28,559 should submit to Islam. God forbid, God forbid. Jesus Christ 544 00:33:28,599 --> 00:33:29,880 is the way of the truth in the life, and 545 00:33:29,920 --> 00:33:32,839 no one gets to the Father but through him. Muslims 546 00:33:32,880 --> 00:33:38,240 are not going to heaven. So when we interact with Muslims, though, 547 00:33:39,599 --> 00:33:41,079 are they our religious authorities? 548 00:33:41,440 --> 00:33:41,519 Speaker 2: No? 549 00:33:41,799 --> 00:33:46,599 Speaker 1: Are we Jesus No? What can we show? We can 550 00:33:46,599 --> 00:33:53,920 show disagreement Lovingly wrapped in faith, we can question ask questions. 551 00:33:55,000 --> 00:34:00,519 Why are their problems in the Islamic faith? So many 552 00:34:00,519 --> 00:34:04,359 women being harmed with lustful violence, women and girls? Why 553 00:34:04,480 --> 00:34:10,679 is this? Why aren't your faith leaders confronting this? Why 554 00:34:10,760 --> 00:34:13,199 is it okay by some readings of the crime to 555 00:34:13,280 --> 00:34:17,360 do this? And if it's not okay, can you clarify 556 00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:23,920 why is it that Islamic countries so often have such 557 00:34:24,119 --> 00:34:28,159 structural problems? Why is that in this faith? And why 558 00:34:28,159 --> 00:34:32,320 aren't your leaders confronting it? Why aren't your leaders absorbing 559 00:34:32,320 --> 00:34:37,440 the Palestinian people? Why do countries that are Islamic have 560 00:34:37,519 --> 00:34:43,159 massive walls keeping them out? Why is that? When we're 561 00:34:43,199 --> 00:34:46,280 asking these questions, let's be ready to entertain the answers. 562 00:34:47,880 --> 00:34:50,760 So to Valencia Gomez, who's running for Congress in the 563 00:34:50,760 --> 00:34:55,079 state of Texas, you might hear one day from Jesus, 564 00:34:56,119 --> 00:34:58,360 I gave you talents to speak, I gave you a 565 00:34:58,360 --> 00:35:01,920 fearless heart. I asked you to be an ambassador on 566 00:35:01,960 --> 00:35:05,000 my behalf, to let me work through you, to bring 567 00:35:05,079 --> 00:35:09,000 people to me and help me understand this circumstance in Texas. 568 00:35:12,679 --> 00:35:16,119 And he might say to her, well, you want a 569 00:35:16,119 --> 00:35:22,360 seat in Congress. You've already had your reward. This is 570 00:35:22,360 --> 00:35:25,159 a Todd Hermann Shaw.
