00:00:45,359 --> 00:00:48,880
Speaker 2: The Todd Herman Show is one hundred percent disapproved by

14
00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:57,000
big pharma technocrats and tyrants everywhere from the high mountains

15
00:00:57,039 --> 00:01:05,040
of Free American Here's the the Emerald City, Todd to Herman.

16
00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:18,599
Speaker 1: Today is the day the Lord has made, and these

17
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:21,159
are the times to which God has decided we shall live.

18
00:01:22,159 --> 00:01:25,480
You can ask yourself a question, and you can really

19
00:01:25,519 --> 00:01:30,280
apply it across the board of world leadership, even local leadership.

20
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:33,280
You can go from school boards and park boards all

21
00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:38,000
the way up to state senates, into state houses, to governors.

22
00:01:38,599 --> 00:01:40,400
You can go to the top of the tip of

23
00:01:40,439 --> 00:01:43,359
the top and you can ask a question, are we

24
00:01:43,439 --> 00:01:47,200
dealing with petulant children or are we dealing with statesmen

25
00:01:47,239 --> 00:01:50,840
and public servants? And I don't know that it's necessarily

26
00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:53,519
that hard to look at this and say, there's a

27
00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:57,799
lot of petulant children running things? Are they any of them?

28
00:01:58,000 --> 00:01:59,920
Do they have any signs of being a public servant?

29
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:03,959
In Washington, d C. President Trump is being, of course

30
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:06,920
a what's the phrase, what's it again?

31
00:02:07,359 --> 00:02:08,000
Speaker 2: It's what?

32
00:02:09,439 --> 00:02:14,120
Speaker 1: Oh, sorry, literal hitler, because he has federalized the Washington

33
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:18,879
DC police force. Because that's extreme, it is utterly It's

34
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:21,360
never been done other than the two hundred and ten

35
00:02:21,479 --> 00:02:24,560
days of Biden's first term where the city was on

36
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:28,159
virtual lockdown with National Guard members guarding everything and checkpoints

37
00:02:28,199 --> 00:02:30,840
and fences all around. Other than that, you know, that's

38
00:02:30,879 --> 00:02:33,639
this has never been done other than the other times

39
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:36,719
it's been done. And what President Trump is doing is

40
00:02:36,759 --> 00:02:39,719
of course very bizarre and very extreme because he is

41
00:02:39,759 --> 00:02:42,919
having police officers who are told to enforce the law

42
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:47,240
go ingenforce the law. That's troubling. It's not troubling to

43
00:02:47,319 --> 00:02:49,719
have allowed crime to run rampant, or to have had

44
00:02:49,719 --> 00:02:56,199
a DC police commander falsifying apparently falsifying crime statistics. Now

45
00:02:56,199 --> 00:03:00,360
he's been arrested for that, and the union backs up

46
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:02,360
police officers. The police officers, you need to said, yeah,

47
00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:05,919
they're doing this, this is a habit of them. So

48
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:09,919
are we dealing with petulant children or statesmen and public servants?

49
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:13,639
A reporter asked, and this is an unfair question. You

50
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:16,719
have to admit, this is deeply unfair because it's very technical.

51
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:21,759
So reporter with a deep knowledge of military command structures

52
00:03:21,759 --> 00:03:25,919
and police command structures, he asked a He asked a

53
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:34,080
the police chief in DC asked her a question. Her

54
00:03:34,159 --> 00:03:37,520
name is Pamela Smith, and he asked her a question

55
00:03:37,639 --> 00:03:42,919
about well, it's just a very technical term. And I

56
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:44,080
know that's going to come up.

57
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:45,719
Speaker 3: Is what the shame of command is?

58
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:46,080
Speaker 4: Now?

59
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:47,479
Speaker 1: What does that mean?

60
00:03:47,599 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 5: Well, is it pam Bondi's greeks of amager.

61
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:50,919
Speaker 1: You or how does this work?

62
00:03:51,159 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 3: So at the executive order is clear, the President has

63
00:03:55,719 --> 00:04:02,000
requested MPD services in our Home Rule Charter outlines the process.

64
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:08,080
The President designated Attorney General Bondi as his proxy.

65
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:11,520
Speaker 1: We need to watch the services for me. Because the

66
00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:15,879
police chief begins to answer the question and then a

67
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:20,720
lawyer type steps up, like the question was do you

68
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:22,480
know what the chain of command is? Now? And the

69
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:30,920
DC police chief pameloss missus, what does that mean? If

70
00:04:30,959 --> 00:04:35,120
you've ever watched if you've ever watched an episode of mash,

71
00:04:35,959 --> 00:04:39,920
you've seen the chain of command. If you've ever watched

72
00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:43,600
a police show, you've heard a reference to the chain

73
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:48,040
of command. The people who are being put in charge

74
00:04:48,079 --> 00:04:51,079
of us are people who don't even have a light

75
00:04:51,879 --> 00:04:56,040
dusting of cultural understanding of the culture of law enforcement,

76
00:04:56,079 --> 00:04:59,000
which relies upon shaine of command. And in fact, it

77
00:04:59,079 --> 00:05:00,639
used to be the case that lot of cops had

78
00:05:00,639 --> 00:05:03,560
served in the military or in fact been cops. So

79
00:05:03,759 --> 00:05:06,079
let's just watch this again. Here, what the shame of

80
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:06,720
command is?

81
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:07,079
Speaker 6: Now?

82
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:09,000
Speaker 1: What does that mean? Well? Is it?

83
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:10,240
Speaker 4: Pam Boondi speaking of.

84
00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:19,360
Speaker 1: American I mean, give the lady in the yellow jackets

85
00:05:19,399 --> 00:05:25,199
some credits she recognizes. What does that mean? So ask yourself,

86
00:05:25,319 --> 00:05:31,720
petulant childs or a statesperson and public servant, statesman Eric Solwell.

87
00:05:32,959 --> 00:05:37,160
Eric Solwell who tried to or maybe even did get

88
00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:41,720
to have sexual relations with a Chinese spy that Eric Solwell,

89
00:05:41,759 --> 00:05:45,519
who the other day posted a video that he was

90
00:05:45,199 --> 00:05:48,720
he was bragging about he could be doing legislation, but

91
00:05:48,759 --> 00:05:52,240
instead he was he was repping. He was benching baby

92
00:05:52,639 --> 00:05:55,759
bention in one thirty five. Just like my niece who's sixteen,

93
00:05:55,879 --> 00:05:59,600
can bench one thirty five big time, Eric Solwell, he

94
00:05:59,639 --> 00:06:03,120
wrote on Twitter, which is a white supremacist platform run

95
00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:06,639
by a white supremacist. Guide to Elon Musk, Eric Solwell,

96
00:06:07,199 --> 00:06:11,360
Trump's federal takeover of DC's in safety, it's about distracting

97
00:06:11,399 --> 00:06:15,759
Americans from comma high prices, a bad jobs report, a

98
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:21,000
folding economy in the Epstein files. Interesting because way back

99
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:23,879
in the day, Eric Salwell had posted this on Twitter,

100
00:06:23,879 --> 00:06:27,639
which is a platform owned by an apparent white supremacist. Well,

101
00:06:27,639 --> 00:06:29,639
that's what we're told, that's what the muckenberg he says. Wait,

102
00:06:29,639 --> 00:06:31,800
they've stopped saying that since he and Trump got into

103
00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:33,439
a fight. That's weird. All of a sudden, Elon's a

104
00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:37,920
good guy again. Solwell wrote this. My wife and I

105
00:06:37,959 --> 00:06:39,959
play these scenarios over in our head all the time.

106
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:42,879
We've practiced going out through the back seat to you

107
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:46,439
your kids out of our car for carjacked. This is

108
00:06:46,519 --> 00:06:50,199
not normal, soft unviolent crime. Prosecutors are letting too many

109
00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:54,360
dangerous people threaten our kids. And a conservative journalist, Peter

110
00:06:54,439 --> 00:06:56,480
Hassen pointed out, this is an interesting take from a

111
00:06:56,519 --> 00:06:58,439
guy who had to practice getting carjacked. And he went

112
00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:03,800
and found that tweet and Eric Solwell public servants statesmen

113
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:07,120
or petulant child? Which way does the scale go for you?

114
00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:10,720
To me? It's all petulant child. Now, how is this

115
00:07:10,759 --> 00:07:14,160
playing out in public? And does it in fact cross borders?

116
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:16,759
Is it just a United States phenomena? It's not. It

117
00:07:16,839 --> 00:07:20,160
crosses borders. How's it playing out in public? I'll show

118
00:07:20,199 --> 00:07:24,199
you from the screens at CNN how this is playing

119
00:07:24,199 --> 00:07:26,800
out in public in just a second. Because images are

120
00:07:26,959 --> 00:07:31,199
very very powerful things. Angel Studios knows this. They know

121
00:07:31,279 --> 00:07:34,519
that images are very potent things, and that storytelling is

122
00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:38,040
often how Jesus Christ spread spread his word. They're out

123
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:40,959
with the new series called Testament, and what they've done

124
00:07:41,079 --> 00:07:43,360
is they've taken the happenings in the Book of Acts.

125
00:07:43,759 --> 00:07:46,959
And that's where Luke went back and investigated and learned

126
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:52,000
about how the Apostles built the church that Jesus told

127
00:07:52,279 --> 00:07:54,800
them to build. That's the Book of Acts. What did

128
00:07:54,839 --> 00:07:59,000
they do? They've transplanted those happenings into a world where

129
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:04,160
there's a technical surveillance state, high tech surveillance censorship states,

130
00:08:04,319 --> 00:08:07,439
and where people hate the truth. Does that sound familiar?

140
00:08:35,919 --> 00:08:38,000
know how long he can keep his job because he

141
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:41,600
keeps bringing news out that people in CNN must hate.

142
00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:44,080
And this has to do with President Trump's handling a

143
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:47,480
crime versus that of figurehead Biden or the Democrats. It

144
00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:48,200
just sort of.

145
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:50,480
Speaker 6: Gives the game away here because Donald Trump is like

146
00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:53,759
Airic Jordan, towering over Joe Biden when it comes to

147
00:08:53,799 --> 00:08:55,960
their handling a crime. Look in twenty twenty four, look

148
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:59,200
at where Biden's net approval was on crime way under

149
00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:01,799
water there at minus twenty six points. It was one

150
00:09:01,799 --> 00:09:04,120
of Biden's wars issues. Granted, pretty much every issue was

151
00:09:04,159 --> 00:09:06,679
one of Biden's warst issues. And again look at where

152
00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:10,919
Donald Trump is way, way way above Joe Biden.

153
00:09:10,919 --> 00:09:11,320
Speaker 2: What is that?

154
00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:15,879
Speaker 6: That's twenty seven points. So Americans vastly prefer Donald Trump's

155
00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:18,600
approach to crime than they dit to Joe Biden's. And again,

156
00:09:18,639 --> 00:09:20,960
I think it gets back to the point that Americans

157
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:23,080
are far more hawkish on crime than a lot of

158
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:24,240
Democrats want to it.

159
00:09:24,279 --> 00:09:31,440
Speaker 1: Make what approach to crime? What was Biden's approach to crime?

160
00:09:32,639 --> 00:09:36,000
His approach to crime was to fly cartel members and

161
00:09:36,039 --> 00:09:39,039
their soldiers into a country using a CPB one app

162
00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:42,480
to allow them to set up shop and supply chains

163
00:09:42,519 --> 00:09:47,360
into American cities, knowing that they are coddled in separate

164
00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:50,679
countries like Seattle and Los Angeles and San Francisco and

165
00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:54,200
Minneapolis and New York and the list goes on. He

166
00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:56,480
didn't have an approach to crime other than he wanted

167
00:09:56,519 --> 00:10:00,919
more of it. Sometimes he did have enough crimes, so

168
00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:05,679
he needed to invent crimes. The president's approach to This

169
00:10:05,879 --> 00:10:08,519
is popular everywhere, but in the minds of people who

170
00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:15,240
think that the previous administration was the reasonable administration. Remember,

171
00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:18,000
it was Joe Biden who partnered with Baracuscain and Obama

172
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:21,679
to allow the Taliban to partner with Mexico based drug

173
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:24,799
cartels to bring heroin into our country. They stopped indictments.

174
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:28,159
That is an approach to crime, and that approach was

175
00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:32,840
to allowed to happen. So petulant children or statesmen. Let's

176
00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:36,679
look up north in Canada. So in Canada, there's been

177
00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:38,399
these wild fires. I live in an area of the

178
00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:41,000
country north Idaho where we get wildfires, and there's something

179
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:42,480
you need to be serious about. But one of the

180
00:10:42,519 --> 00:10:45,399
things we don't do here is go out to become

181
00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:49,000
petulant children or little handmaids telling people what they can

182
00:10:49,039 --> 00:10:52,320
do and not do. In Canada, they're doing just that.

183
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:55,399
They have admitted that walking around in the woods doesn't

184
00:10:55,399 --> 00:10:57,840
cause forest fires, but they are still going to find

185
00:10:57,840 --> 00:10:59,440
people for walking around in the woods.

186
00:11:00,159 --> 00:11:01,720
Speaker 7: Going for a walk in the woods is going to

187
00:11:01,799 --> 00:11:06,080
cause a fire. I can understand why people think that

188
00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:09,279
that's ridiculous, but the reality is it's not that you

189
00:11:09,399 --> 00:11:11,759
might cause a fire. It's that if you're out there

190
00:11:11,799 --> 00:11:13,879
walking in the woods and you break your leg, we're

191
00:11:13,879 --> 00:11:15,840
not going to come and get you because we have

192
00:11:15,919 --> 00:11:19,559
emergency responders that are out focused on a fire that

193
00:11:19,759 --> 00:11:22,480
is threatening the lives of New Brunswickers. And if you

194
00:11:22,519 --> 00:11:24,480
take your boat out fishing in a pond and crown

195
00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:27,120
Land and you capsize, we're not going to be able

196
00:11:27,159 --> 00:11:29,440
to come and help you out because our first responders

197
00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:33,559
are focused on an immediate and serious threat to our province.

198
00:11:33,639 --> 00:11:38,360
And so it's the possibility of diverting emergency resources away

199
00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:40,200
from where they are really needed.

200
00:11:41,159 --> 00:11:45,159
Speaker 1: That is Susan Holt, who is the Premiere of New Brunswick.

201
00:11:45,639 --> 00:11:46,919
So we're not going to do that. We're not going

202
00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:48,200
to let you walk around. And what they could have

203
00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:49,639
just said is, hey, by the way, if you go

204
00:11:49,759 --> 00:11:51,639
walking in the woods, we're not coming to get you.

205
00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:54,840
If you break your leg, you're on your own. If

206
00:11:54,879 --> 00:11:57,120
you break down in the woods, handle its, we're not

207
00:11:57,120 --> 00:11:58,559
going to come and get you. They could have that

208
00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:01,000
message go out and guess what a lot of seeing

209
00:12:01,039 --> 00:12:03,720
people would say, I'm not going in. Other people would say,

210
00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:05,440
you know, I've been hiking in the woods my whole life.

211
00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:07,320
I'm not afraid of breaking a leg. It hasn't happen

212
00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:08,559
be force, so I gonna have again. If it does,

213
00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:12,440
I'll take care of it. Jeff Everley is a Canadian

214
00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:15,679
military veteran and he decided to go out and test

215
00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:18,799
the fine they were gonna levy on Canadians. He thought

216
00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:21,200
it was about twenty five thousand dollars for hiking in

217
00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:22,600
the woods, so he did go test.

218
00:12:22,639 --> 00:12:26,600
Speaker 8: This is the Department of Natural Resources where the conservation

219
00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:30,879
officers work, who issue twenty five thousand dollars fines for

220
00:12:31,039 --> 00:12:33,360
going in the woods.

221
00:12:33,879 --> 00:12:36,120
Speaker 1: But back here, this is the woods.

222
00:12:36,399 --> 00:12:39,519
Speaker 5: So I have a couple of conservation officers with me

223
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:43,279
right now who are not on camera, but have advised

224
00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:45,639
me that if I go into the woods, if I

225
00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:48,480
defy their orders to go into the woods, then I

226
00:12:48,519 --> 00:12:51,080
will be fined. And they also said that they would

227
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:54,039
double my fine to fifty thousand dollars. So I'm gonna

228
00:12:54,039 --> 00:13:03,200
walk down here and go into these woods and they

229
00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:03,840
have me on.

230
00:13:03,799 --> 00:13:10,759
Speaker 9: Camera forced BacT twenty five. So one fine is twenty

231
00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:14,120
eighth and seventy two fifty.

232
00:13:14,159 --> 00:13:17,240
Speaker 8: Okay, I thought it was twenty five thousand, it's twenty eight.

233
00:13:18,799 --> 00:13:19,440
Speaker 4: Victim piece.

234
00:13:20,159 --> 00:13:25,759
Speaker 1: Oh, victim victim piece. Thanks very much, Bund you're victims.

235
00:13:26,039 --> 00:13:28,320
Speaker 8: I appreciate your courteous approach.

236
00:13:28,519 --> 00:13:30,759
Speaker 1: He made it very very easy on them. God bless

237
00:13:30,799 --> 00:13:32,759
him for being so courteous. And he wants to test

238
00:13:32,799 --> 00:13:36,759
this in courts. Petulant children or statesmen. Oh by the way,

239
00:13:37,399 --> 00:13:41,120
also out of Saskatchewan, out of Canada, not New Brunswick,

240
00:13:41,159 --> 00:13:47,080
but Saskatchewan, a firefighter went out to set fires. He

241
00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:52,120
decided to go light fires, often using hey bails. He

242
00:13:52,279 --> 00:13:57,480
set about thirty of them in a month. What's happened

243
00:13:57,519 --> 00:14:00,519
to him? A fine? No, No, well, he's going to

244
00:14:00,519 --> 00:14:03,840
get community service for two hundred hours. He could have

245
00:14:03,879 --> 00:14:07,320
been fined seventy six thousand, five hundred box or seventy

246
00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:09,440
six thousand, six hundred and fifty bucks, but no, they're

247
00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:11,200
just going to put them on a community service for

248
00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:15,720
two hundred hours. Petulant children or statesmen. It is happening

249
00:14:15,759 --> 00:14:19,759
across the world, and I'm leaning towards one hundred percent

250
00:14:19,919 --> 00:14:26,720
petulant children. Story number two, there is a breaking news

251
00:14:26,759 --> 00:14:30,240
coming out as schools, and this is that school districts

252
00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:34,720
have suddenly discovered that fish need water, and people need air,

253
00:14:35,159 --> 00:14:38,679
and we all need gravity. They're going back and discovering

254
00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:40,679
things that should have been clear to everybody who's ever

255
00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:43,679
been around kids, and God blessed some school teachers for

256
00:14:43,759 --> 00:14:47,399
speaking up about this. There is a structure to our minds.

257
00:14:47,679 --> 00:14:50,159
There's a structure to when we're able to learn languages

258
00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:52,919
and retain languages. There's a structure to our mind where

259
00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:56,919
we're most adept at memorizing things and repeating things. The

260
00:14:57,159 --> 00:15:00,039
human mind changes at a point and we're able to

261
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:03,559
reason and employ logic and make arguments. There's a time

262
00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:05,639
in the development of our mind where most adept at

263
00:15:05,759 --> 00:15:09,960
understanding numbers and figures in geometry, and then there's a

264
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:12,759
time where these all gel and we're able to take

265
00:15:12,759 --> 00:15:15,320
this information and aggregate it and use it to write

266
00:15:15,399 --> 00:15:19,879
advanced papers, et cetera. God has planned our minds around

267
00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:23,240
gestational growth. And it used to be the time when

268
00:15:23,279 --> 00:15:27,120
people who taught understood that a certain point all kids

269
00:15:27,159 --> 00:15:30,080
need is memorization. They need to be able to memorize,

270
00:15:30,159 --> 00:15:33,480
let's say, passages from the Bible. God's word is always

271
00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:36,080
good for teaching, review, concrrection, and it's a great way

272
00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:38,039
to learn God's Word at the same time as you're

273
00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:40,440
learning to read and to memorize. You're exercising that part

274
00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:43,600
of your mind. When people expand beyond that, then they

275
00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:45,960
can take the information they've read and begin to repeat

276
00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:49,799
it back. That's another stage of growth. There's an approach

277
00:15:49,879 --> 00:15:53,480
called the trivium, which is a classical Latin form of education,

278
00:15:53,679 --> 00:15:56,480
and it follows in this path. Kids who go through

279
00:15:56,519 --> 00:15:59,840
this end up being being able to retain information and

280
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:02,960
make better decisions and how to present it. Back in

281
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:05,440
the day, we used to teach people Latin. The reason

282
00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:08,360
we did that is because English is a Latin based language,

283
00:16:08,399 --> 00:16:11,279
as His, Spanish and many others. When you learned the

284
00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:13,519
Latin roots for things, you can figure out what a

285
00:16:13,519 --> 00:16:16,919
word means, even a complex medical word, because you can

286
00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:18,919
go back to the Latin root. What do these Latin

287
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:23,320
roots mean? When school was changed to creates, not people

288
00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:26,519
who learned how to think, but people who learned how

289
00:16:26,559 --> 00:16:30,039
to work in factories to go be worker bees, they

290
00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:33,720
began to change the approach to school. Memorization was still important,

291
00:16:33,759 --> 00:16:36,120
but it sort of ended there. How much of your

292
00:16:36,159 --> 00:16:39,039
school life was about memorization all the way up into

293
00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:41,840
high school. Think about the tests you had. What year

294
00:16:41,879 --> 00:16:44,399
did this war happen, what year did it end, what

295
00:16:44,559 --> 00:16:46,679
was the name of this president at this time? How

296
00:16:46,759 --> 00:16:49,200
much of that was memorization. And unless you were in

297
00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:52,159
a trivium based or a private school, you probably never

298
00:16:52,159 --> 00:16:54,559
got to the point where you're really taught rhetoric. We

299
00:16:54,679 --> 00:16:56,960
ever taught how to make an artful argument. We ever

300
00:16:57,000 --> 00:16:59,480
taught the rules of threes and fives in making a

301
00:16:59,519 --> 00:17:02,879
rhetorical presentation to someone, that the minds of people tend

302
00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:05,920
to take information up better in rules of three fives,

303
00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:07,799
and if you must sevens. This has to go with

304
00:17:08,039 --> 00:17:10,839
bullet points and how you present information. We ever taught that,

305
00:17:11,559 --> 00:17:14,240
We ever taught how to use socratic inquiry in order

306
00:17:14,279 --> 00:17:17,319
to draw out from people what they know but they

307
00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:20,440
don't want to think they know. These were tools that

308
00:17:20,519 --> 00:17:23,880
people who were taught to think had, And suddenly we're

309
00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:27,240
seeing now schools beginning to discover that fish need water.

310
00:17:27,319 --> 00:17:30,160
In other words, there are things people need for education

311
00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:33,519
to be fruitful, or rather, in this case, things they

312
00:17:33,559 --> 00:17:36,680
don't need. I'll share something a teacher said in terms

313
00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:39,160
of things kids don't need, which is really fish need water.

314
00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:41,680
In just a second, we all need to clean our

315
00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:45,279
bodies unless we want to be disgusting, smelling, stinking banana

316
00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:48,720
peel love and hippies. So we use Alan soaps at

317
00:17:48,759 --> 00:17:51,119
this program, which is made in America. It's all natural.

318
00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:53,319
It's made by a family with three generations of soap

319
00:17:53,319 --> 00:17:57,160
making expertise. More important than that, it employs people who

320
00:17:57,200 --> 00:17:59,519
the rest of the world will not employ. Allan is

321
00:17:59,559 --> 00:18:02,599
the chief soap officer there. He's thirteen, he's been through

322
00:18:02,599 --> 00:18:06,519
about eighteen operations and he is effectively nonverbal because of autism.

323
00:18:06,559 --> 00:18:09,240
His brother Ian works there now, also affected by autism.

324
00:18:09,759 --> 00:18:12,000
Now that's all good news that we employ them. Here's

325
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:16,400
the bad news. The patriarch of that family, John has

326
00:18:16,519 --> 00:18:19,400
terminal cancer. He just made his last airplane flight to

327
00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:22,400
see his mom, and he's asked me to share this

328
00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:25,319
with you. It's okay. I'm asking you to try the soap,

329
00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:27,960
and if you love it, to subscribe, so that in

330
00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:30,400
John goes to the Lord Jesus and his wife takes

331
00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:32,240
over the company, it will be easy for her to run.

332
00:18:32,319 --> 00:18:34,720
Please try the soap and only continue to buy it

333
00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:36,440
if you love it. But if you love it, subscribe

Alan soaps dot com slash Todd that's Alan Soaps dot

335
00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:44,240
com slash Todd, a teacher, decided to describe what happens

336
00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:46,559
when you have a phone ban in schools.

337
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:55,440
Speaker 10: School my state ban the phones, ban the phones. Today

338
00:18:56,880 --> 00:19:01,359
all of my students, one hundred percent of them, took

339
00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:06,880
notes in my class, did their assignment, asked for help

340
00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:12,000
when they got stuck, and turned it in, and then

341
00:19:12,079 --> 00:19:16,920
when they were done, they talked to each other.

342
00:19:20,839 --> 00:19:23,559
Speaker 1: It this easy the whole time.

343
00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:26,839
Speaker 2: Have have.

344
00:19:28,519 --> 00:19:32,920
Speaker 10: I have been pulling my hair out for like eight years?

345
00:19:33,599 --> 00:19:38,079
Has it been this easy of a solution the whole time?

346
00:19:38,279 --> 00:19:42,720
Speaker 1: Yes, the ENTRT Yes, I mean this isn't going to

347
00:19:42,799 --> 00:19:45,920
be the complete solution. But when you take something out

348
00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:50,079
of someone's hands that has become an idol, that has

349
00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:53,759
become their emotional connection to the world, that has become

350
00:19:53,799 --> 00:19:56,720
their painkiller, that has become their porn connection, that has

351
00:19:56,720 --> 00:19:59,079
become their friend connection, it has become their fake front connection,

352
00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:03,920
their handicap. Yes, when you take that away and to

353
00:20:04,039 --> 00:20:06,839
return kids to a natural environment of learning, it really

354
00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:10,119
is that easy. Fish deeed water and kids need schooling,

355
00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:12,359
and they also need schooling that respects their minds. And

356
00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:15,440
praise God that we're beginning to see some common sense

357
00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:20,079
actions in the school praise God for that story. Number three,

358
00:20:20,599 --> 00:20:25,039
I want to provide you a sample of the theology

359
00:20:25,279 --> 00:20:29,400
of the Elka flavor of the Lutheran Church. They've had

360
00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:32,000
a series of meetings over the past many years and

361
00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:35,480
got very serious about it this past year, trying to

362
00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:39,559
justify their support for same sex marriage. And the writing

363
00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:41,559
that I've read that I've read a series of these

364
00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:47,480
is fascinating in that it barely barely mentions a certain book.

365
00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:52,000
It barely mentions the Bible. And what I'm seeing is

366
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:57,839
a series of philosophers and theologians quoting each other as

367
00:20:57,839 --> 00:21:01,319
philosophers and theologians. I want to give you a sample

368
00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:03,079
of this, but I also want to show you where

369
00:21:03,079 --> 00:21:07,519
this leads. When you depart the clear teachings of the

370
00:21:07,519 --> 00:21:09,920
Word of God, all of a sudden, everything is allowed.

371
00:21:10,279 --> 00:21:12,319
I want to give you some samples of this how

372
00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:14,799
everything is allowed from a guy we've had on the

373
00:21:14,839 --> 00:21:18,200
program before courtesy of Protest You. He dressed up as

374
00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:21,480
what a Star Wars character last time. This time he's

375
00:21:21,519 --> 00:21:28,680
determined that Jesus Christ is very very, very very queer. Yeah,

376
00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:30,880
it's a slippery slope arguments. I once had a liberal

377
00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:33,079
friend of mine say that slippery slopes don't exist. He said,

378
00:21:33,079 --> 00:21:35,640
if slippery slopes existed, we all be standing over sideways. Well,

379
00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:38,680
guess what we are. This is a piece in a

380
00:21:38,799 --> 00:21:43,160
series justifying the same sex union and marriage position of

381
00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:45,359
the Elka Lutheran Church. It's written by guy you know

382
00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:48,400
as a very serious thinker because he calls himself H.

383
00:21:48,559 --> 00:21:53,359
Frederick Rees, Junior doctor H. Frederick Reees a generous Orthodoxy

384
00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:56,559
the Elka's choice on sexuality and opportunity for generous Orthodoxy

385
00:21:56,839 --> 00:22:01,119
generous orthodoxy. This would mean that God's plan for the

386
00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:05,240
world is not generous. God's offer of free salvation is

387
00:22:05,279 --> 00:22:08,960
not generous, that God, who sets some limits on what

388
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:12,000
he'll accept in terms of human sexual behavior, is not generous.

389
00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:16,200
And it begins like this. The Elka social statement Human Sexuality,

390
00:22:16,559 --> 00:22:19,319
Gift and Trust was written through an extended process of

391
00:22:19,319 --> 00:22:23,240
seeking responses and suggestions. Its conclusion should not be dismissed

392
00:22:23,279 --> 00:22:25,519
as being hasty. I hope that many of us will

393
00:22:25,559 --> 00:22:27,839
counter persons who are saying that this whole process was

394
00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:31,240
a sham engineered from quote above a Chicago and the

395
00:22:31,279 --> 00:22:34,400
result of a predictable conspiracy of church liberals. I've heard

396
00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:38,960
all those charges and reject them. Oh you reject them? Okay,

397
00:22:39,039 --> 00:22:42,400
I don't. It's been clear for a number of years.

398
00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:45,960
In fact, see my daughter is yeah, she's that old.

399
00:22:46,519 --> 00:22:50,640
It's been clear for about eighteen years that you intended

400
00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:52,519
to take this position, and it came from on high.

401
00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:55,000
Although I'm not wholly satisfied with the current text of

402
00:22:55,079 --> 00:22:57,480
human sexuality, Gift and Trust, for the most part, I

403
00:22:57,480 --> 00:23:00,279
think it's a viable statement. Are you noticing a trend here?

404
00:23:00,319 --> 00:23:04,000
I think? I think, I think. I think our pastors

405
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:06,359
and lady can use a statement of theological wisdom and

406
00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:10,559
practical pastoral guidance on the many issues surrounding sexuality and expressions.

407
00:23:11,079 --> 00:23:13,559
The statement is useful sections for counseling and teaching. I

408
00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:16,519
hope that pastors and lady will make use of its

409
00:23:16,599 --> 00:23:19,880
proportion of its portions in their ministries and communities. I

410
00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:23,200
believe our community will be weakened in mission if we

411
00:23:23,279 --> 00:23:25,759
continue to spend a great deal of time and energy

412
00:23:25,799 --> 00:23:29,000
rehashing the two thousand and nine Assembly actions, even seeking

413
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:31,960
to rescind them. The next paragraph begins with I think,

414
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:36,200
and then that sentence next is I know the man

415
00:23:36,279 --> 00:23:40,680
is quoting himself and he's referring to theological wisdom. What

416
00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:45,440
does the Bible say about wisdom? The beginning of wisdom

417
00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:47,559
is fear of the Lord. You would need to go

418
00:23:47,599 --> 00:23:51,960
through page one, which is full of paragraphs, page two,

419
00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:54,799
which is full of paragraphs, and we get down to hear, Oh,

420
00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:58,279
this is important. My experience with commitment to homosexual Christians

421
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:01,599
his experience. There's a whole lot of eye statements in this.

422
00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:04,920
I believe the writers may intend to very deep. You'd

423
00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:08,839
have to go to page three of six and in

424
00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:10,880
that case, down to the middle of page three of

425
00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:15,440
six where you get this the biblical witness. A few

426
00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:18,759
biblical texts condemn certain types of homosexual activity, and he

427
00:24:18,839 --> 00:24:24,039
quotes Genesis two eighteen to twenty four, nineteen one through thirty, Levitigus.

428
00:24:24,079 --> 00:24:27,599
He quotes Romans, Corinthians, timpathy. The question is whether this

429
00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:34,440
condemnation extends to all forms of homosexuality and same gender sex. No,

430
00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:37,960
that's not the question. No, the question is this, what

431
00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:42,359
did Jesus say? That's the question. What Jesus Christ said

432
00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:47,680
is that a man leaves his mother and father and

433
00:24:47,759 --> 00:24:50,799
clings to his wife, and they become one flesh. The

434
00:24:50,799 --> 00:24:55,680
same Jesus said you've heard it said you shall not

435
00:24:55,720 --> 00:25:00,000
commit adultery. But I tell you, look, a man who looks,

436
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:01,599
he said, a woman with lost in his eyes has

437
00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:07,279
already committed adultery. Jesus raised the bar for sexual conduct.

438
00:25:07,599 --> 00:25:12,359
He recognized that sin begins in the mind, that thinking

439
00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:16,440
of sin is sinning. He never came back to say, hey,

440
00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:18,839
you know the whole thing about same sex unions and

441
00:25:18,839 --> 00:25:21,160
so called marriage, which was unthought of at that time,

442
00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:24,200
unthought of that you would have same sex marriage. Even

443
00:25:24,279 --> 00:25:28,240
in Roman culture, it was unthought of. And he was

444
00:25:28,559 --> 00:25:31,240
never went back and said, hey, we got this wrong.

445
00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:35,160
Because he's God almighty, wasn't is God almighty? Jesus did

446
00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:38,079
change some things. He made it very clear to the

447
00:25:38,079 --> 00:25:40,200
Pharisees that it's not what goes in the mouth, but

448
00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:42,400
what comes out of the mouth that defiles you. It's

449
00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:45,480
not the food you eat. And the apostles said, hey,

450
00:25:45,519 --> 00:25:47,359
explain this to us. And actually one of those times

451
00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:50,720
where Jesus not his patience. He couldn't lose his patience,

452
00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:52,640
but he spoke firmly to them, saying, are you really

453
00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:56,359
this dim What you eat is digested by the body

454
00:25:56,359 --> 00:25:58,480
and eliminated, but what you speak goes into the world

455
00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:01,599
and can cause harm and lies to others. So it's

456
00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:03,559
what comes out of the mouth that defiles, not what

457
00:26:03,599 --> 00:26:07,359
goes in. He was changing the approach. The Pharisees had

458
00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:10,920
the dietary law, and he did it specifically and overtly.

459
00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:15,240
He never did that with sexuality. Never. So the question

460
00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:19,000
is not whether these passages condemn a certain form of

461
00:26:19,039 --> 00:26:23,279
homosexual contact or even same sex contact. The question is

462
00:26:23,359 --> 00:26:26,680
what does Jesus say. What I'm truly bothered by, and

463
00:26:26,759 --> 00:26:28,839
much of this writing is that I think, I want,

464
00:26:29,039 --> 00:26:31,960
I hope, I think, I say, I don't care what

465
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:34,880
you say. Show me scripture. If you can show me

466
00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:38,079
scripture that shows that Jesus Christ is okay with same

467
00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:41,799
sex marriage, I'll celebrate, because then one of the toughest

468
00:26:41,799 --> 00:26:44,759
issues I've faced personally, because it's harmed people I know,

469
00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:49,119
it's well, it's harm relationships, it's harm my relationships, it's

470
00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:52,680
stolen from me, the relationships with people I love, and

471
00:26:52,720 --> 00:26:55,400
I may never get them back. I would celebrate, but

472
00:26:55,440 --> 00:27:00,359
it's not there. It's not there. When elka An organizations

473
00:27:00,559 --> 00:27:03,319
like this a race Jesus. Then they also opened the

474
00:27:03,319 --> 00:27:06,279
door to people who, having seen Jesus a race come

475
00:27:06,319 --> 00:27:08,880
and withdraw him as something he's not. I'll show you

476
00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:11,720
the latest example of this with a pastor who has

477
00:27:11,799 --> 00:27:14,400
reasoned out why Jesus was a very very queer man,

478
00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:16,799
a soul called pastor or as our friends at protest

479
00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:20,119
you say, an impastor, and being an impastor is a

480
00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:24,359
dangerous and bad business. If you're a business person, small,

481
00:27:24,519 --> 00:27:28,519
medium size, even a large business that's fairly sophisticated, you're

482
00:27:28,559 --> 00:27:32,640
probably counting on having a firewall between you and you

483
00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:36,599
and your business assets. So, for instance, if God forbid,

484
00:27:36,759 --> 00:27:39,480
one of your employees was grievously injured and it went

485
00:27:39,559 --> 00:27:42,759
past ELLENI and they came at you to sue you,

486
00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:45,880
or as insurance company came to sue you. We want

487
00:27:45,920 --> 00:27:48,519
our money back, we're paying for this guy's surgeries, etc.

488
00:27:48,799 --> 00:27:52,000
We're coming after you. That happens, you may be thinking, yeah,

489
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:53,880
they can do that, but they have to sue my company,

490
00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:57,759
and my company's got insurance. Not necessarily, if you had

491
00:27:57,759 --> 00:28:01,240
an employee really really injured in the insurance company wanted money,

492
00:28:01,240 --> 00:28:03,200
you know what they do. They'd go find out how

493
00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:06,759
your company is structured. They'd go and investigate and what

494
00:28:06,799 --> 00:28:09,680
they'd probably find out is you do not have corporate credit.

495
00:28:10,319 --> 00:28:14,000
Therefore your company is you and they'd know they could

496
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:18,480
get at your retirement accounts and then they'd come at you.

497
00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:21,079
You can help find out right now if you actually

498
00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:22,920

509
00:28:53,200 --> 00:28:58,000
a false teacher pretending that he thinks he believes he

510
00:28:58,079 --> 00:29:01,279
has determined that Jesus Christ is very, very queer.

511
00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:07,519
Speaker 4: How queer was Jesus? He was an observant Jew, but

512
00:29:08,759 --> 00:29:13,599
he was thirty years old, no wife, no job, hung

513
00:29:13,680 --> 00:29:22,400
out with twelve other dudes. That's pretty queer queering. The

514
00:29:22,519 --> 00:29:29,920
Bible takes Jesus and other outsiders and religiously stigmatized folks

515
00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:36,480
in the past and juxtaposes them with contemporary queer folks

516
00:29:36,519 --> 00:29:37,359
and Christians.

517
00:29:38,200 --> 00:29:40,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, when you're crying the Bible and you're trying to

518
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:45,039
make Jesus something he's not, that's exactly what you do. Incidentally,

519
00:29:45,160 --> 00:29:48,680
have you ever heard of a monk? I hear tell them.

520
00:29:48,680 --> 00:29:52,039
There's these people called monks, and they're men who live

521
00:29:52,079 --> 00:29:56,160
among other men, and they're not all same sex attracted.

522
00:29:56,200 --> 00:29:59,119
In fact, most of them aren't. In fact, back in

523
00:29:59,160 --> 00:30:02,119
that day, there was a guy named Well. He wore

524
00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:07,119
camel skin and he ate a honey and locusts John

525
00:30:07,160 --> 00:30:12,079
the Baptist. There were plenty of rabbis who toured I'm

526
00:30:12,119 --> 00:30:14,640
tought and we're not married. Jesus wasn't alone in this.

527
00:30:15,279 --> 00:30:18,839
That doesn't make him queer. It made him a rabbi,

528
00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:22,160
married to his work, and he was the model of

529
00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:26,039
not sinning. If you're saying he was queer, you're probably saying, well,

530
00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:28,519
therefore he went out and acted on that, because Jesus

531
00:30:28,559 --> 00:30:32,119
has already said that thinking of a woman, and you

532
00:30:32,119 --> 00:30:34,880
could extend that easily enough to a man, and you

533
00:30:34,920 --> 00:30:36,920
think of them sexually with lust in your eyes and

534
00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:39,319
your mind, then you've committed adultery. What we know is

535
00:30:39,359 --> 00:30:42,000
that Jesus committed no sin. Why because the Bible says

536
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:45,680
he committed no sin. He who had no sin became

537
00:30:45,839 --> 00:30:48,440
sin on our behalf. So yeah, you can go out

538
00:30:48,480 --> 00:30:51,599
and queer anything. You can queer a lemon, stand if

539
00:30:51,640 --> 00:30:52,480
you want.

540
00:30:52,920 --> 00:30:59,920
Speaker 4: Realizing that despite our past cultural differences, sexual and gender differences,

541
00:31:00,720 --> 00:31:07,160
that we share similar histories of out of placeness or

542
00:31:07,759 --> 00:31:15,880
vilified sexualities and gender diversities. Jesus kingdom practice is queer

543
00:31:15,960 --> 00:31:21,000
in the sense it questions identities and blurs distinctions.

544
00:31:21,559 --> 00:31:29,680
Speaker 1: Jesus' mission, his ministry, his kingdom is queer. The Apostle

545
00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:31,799
Paul made it very very clear, and it's a hard

546
00:31:31,839 --> 00:31:35,559
teaching for people who love the same sex attracted. He

547
00:31:35,799 --> 00:31:39,480
said that people who practice homosexuality, like pre people who

548
00:31:39,519 --> 00:31:42,960
practice theeving, like people who practice adultery, have no place

549
00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:46,279
in the kingdom of heaven. Practice not having committed an

550
00:31:46,319 --> 00:31:50,920
act for which they repented and stopped sinning. Jesus always said,

551
00:31:51,279 --> 00:31:56,200
go and sin no more, but his kingdom, his kingdom

552
00:31:56,240 --> 00:31:59,960
is queer because he's questioning identities. He didn't question his identity.

553
00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:03,440
Who knew who he was? He didn't question our identity.

554
00:32:03,480 --> 00:32:06,720
Who knows who we are? None of this, none of

555
00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:08,200
this can be compared biblically.

556
00:32:09,200 --> 00:32:15,799
Speaker 4: Luke presents Jesus as leaving the patriarchal household and challenging

557
00:32:15,880 --> 00:32:23,839
both cultural hierarchies in his egalitarian meals, transgressing gender roles

558
00:32:24,440 --> 00:32:28,519
and radical inclusion of outsiders.

559
00:32:29,079 --> 00:32:34,599
Speaker 1: Radical inclusion of people. He created. And he was questioning

560
00:32:34,720 --> 00:32:38,759
not the authorities, because he was and is the authorities.

561
00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:42,400
He is the authority. He is the way, the truth

562
00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:46,880
in the life. Authority doesn't question authority. God is the

563
00:32:46,960 --> 00:32:52,839
pre eminent authority. What Jesus did was confirmed authority. He

564
00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:55,200
was who he said he was, and he proved himself

565
00:32:55,200 --> 00:32:57,599
to be who he said he was in signs and

566
00:32:57,680 --> 00:33:01,519
wonders and miracles and conquering death. Only God himself could

567
00:33:01,519 --> 00:33:04,400
conquer death. Jesus did it, he predicted he'd do it.

568
00:33:04,680 --> 00:33:07,359
He did it in front of people. He reappeared to people,

569
00:33:07,400 --> 00:33:09,759
five hundred at a time. He send it into heaven

570
00:33:09,799 --> 00:33:11,880
and left behind a gift only God could leave behind

571
00:33:11,880 --> 00:33:17,960
the Holy Spirit. He was a teacher extraordinaire. He was

572
00:33:18,039 --> 00:33:20,880
God Almighty, and there was nothing about him that was queer.

573
00:33:21,400 --> 00:33:25,720
And the erasing of Jesus by the Elka Lutheran Church

574
00:33:25,880 --> 00:33:29,279
opens the door for the redrawing of Jesus by people

575
00:33:29,359 --> 00:33:32,519
like that. This is the todd hermansheaw. Please go be well,

576
00:33:32,680 --> 00:33:35,359
