Speaker 1: Welcome to the Three Stories version of the Todd Hermer Show.
Story number one Newark Mayor Ross Baraka sounds like Barack
Obama a lot pretend Jesus wants violence. Story number two
Pope Leo sees the big spiritual picture of big atheist
tech and story number three One Simple Question resets a
super respectful debate on God's view of same sex marriage.
Thank you as always to God Almighty.
Speaker 2: But Todd Herman Show is one disapproved by big pharma technocrats.
In Tyrone's Everywhere from the hind Mountains of Free America,
Here's the Emerald City exile.
Speaker 1: Todd Herman. Today is the day the Lord has made
in These are the times to which God has decided
we shall live through President Trump. God has done some
unbelievably amazing things, some of them very subtle, some of
them unnoticed President Trump. Just this week, it's no last week.
President Trump assigned an executive order to address the overincarceration problem,
and he is perfectly within grounds to the Constitution to
do this. It has to do with the bureaucratic agencies
that operate under the executive branch inventing some forty nine
thousand crimes many of which don't even require you to
meant to have committed a crime. There's that phrase ignorance
of the laws no excuse. In this case, this is
literally people who didn't the last thing they wanted to
do was commit a crime. It wasn't on their mind.
There was no intent zero. The bureaucratic agencies gave themselves
the right to not have to prove there was any
form of intent. President Trump, with the stroke of an
executive pen and in this case, a real pen, not
an autopen he changed all that no one noticed. And
for years we've talked about the overincarceration problem with black men.
Now there are many people who would say, well, there's
an underincarceration problem with people who are too violent. President
Trump got no credit on that. Through God or through
President Trump, God has shown us the unbelievable cancer of
racism masquerading as anti racism. And if you doubt that
this is a spiritual counc cancer, just remember that God
created humanity. God created us in his image, male and female.
He created us, He has called us his masterpiece. He
has pursued us. He bought Christians with the blood of
his son, brought us back from bondage with the blood
of his son, so he values humanity, all of it.
In the body of Christ, there are no race, there
are no divisions in the body of Christ. There's just
the body. So through President Trump, the Mockingbird, media and
other organizations have been forced to surface who they are.
The Mayor of Newark will get to this guy. He
gave an unbelievably raced, dividing, race baiting speech that e's
even kind of hard to watch. We'll get to part
of that, or maybe even all of it, but let's
start here. The Episcopal Church in the United States is
out of the refugee business. They've been one of these
organizations that's been working through USAID type dollars to settle
refugees in the country, refugees who increasingly weren't refugees. Well,
at least we didn't know if there were refugees because
there was no interview process, there was no review process.
There was an app put your name in, come across
the border. We'll seek you across the border. We'll give
you twenty five hundred maybe five grind a month. Some
states will give you ten dollars cash to move there
because we want you there, and we're not going to
tell the states that don't want you there, We're not
going to tell you them that you're there. You get
benefit after benefit. You're going to change the electoral college,
You're going to change the demographics of the country. And
the Project Veritas proved this. People the State Department said, yeah,
that was the thing. It was a drive to change
the demography of the country. So the Episcopal Church is
out of the refugee business. So it's because they had
an attack of conscience, saying wait, wait, wait, wait, this
is lying. This isn't about helping refugees. This is about
changing America. This is about changing the electoral college. This
is about changing the demography. This is about making America
a Marxist MAOIs country. Nope, because white folks, the Episcopal
Church refuses to resettle africaners and ends participation with the
US government. In a lot of our churches, steadfast commitment
to racial justice and reconciliation and our historic ties to
the Anglican Church of South Africa were not able to
take this step. The Presiding Bishop of the Episcopal Church
said in a letter. This is from Religious News Service.
They describe it this way, a striking move that ends
in nearly four decade old relationship between the federal government
and the Episcopal Church. The nomination announced on Monday May twelfth,
that's terminating its partnership with the government to resettle refugees,
citing moral opposition to resettling white Africaners from South Africa
who've been classified as refugees by President Donald Trump's administration.
They have outed themselves. Hey, hey, hey, the Black Africators
need their chance at revenge. They need to take more
swift actions to un alive people. They need their chance
at revenge. That's a subtext to this. In a letter
sent to the members of the Church, the most Reverend
Sean W. Row, the Presiding Bishop of the Episcopal Church,
said that two weeks ago the government informed episcopal migration
ministries that, under the terms of a federal grant were
expected to resettle Africaners with South Africa from South Africa, Africa,
whom the US government has classified as refugees. That request,
Rose said crossed a moral line for the Episcopal churches.
It's part of the global Anglican communion that boast among
its leadership the late Arts Archbishop Desmond Tutu, a celebrated
and vocal opponent of apartheid in South Africa. So getting
people out of the way of being unlive by terrorists
makes them feel morally icky, because that's what Jesus said.
Jesus said, Hey, listen, if someone did you dirty, get
all the revenge you can on earth, and let gang
go get that revenge on your behalf. That's I forget
what part of the Bible that's from. It's from the
same part of the Bible where Jesus didn't speak of sexuality.
In other words, it's not from the Bible. Details like
this they matter. And so I want to look at
this from a couple of different perspectives. One is from
a so called secular perspective or just the facts. The
other is from a spiritual perspective, and all things are spiritual.
To do that in just a quick second, here, I'll
tell you something. I laugh at people who call port
of Art to Mexico unsafe. I have never felt unsafe
from part of Arta. Now, when we went to uh Poota,
and it's not that nasty word, I just don't say,
they're right. Puzza de meta. Yeah, I said on the show,
I didn't feel safe there. And when I went back
and talked to people at the resort. They're like, yeah,
don't go there. Yeah, the resorts Poota Meta, that's cool,
but don't go to Poota de Meta. What are you doing.
Port of Arta, on the other hand, has seven police
forces guarding it, two of them two of them attached
to tourists.
Speaker 2: Let's go.
Speaker 1: Cartel has said, you target tourists, You're done. And I
go there for stem cell treatment and I did a
follow up with someone. Now this is new information. Am
I gonna share names? I'll say one of my closest
friends hadn't been able to stay on her feet without
incredible back pain and just insane feelings of unwellness. She
joined us in port of Arta at renewed Dot Healthcare.
She the other day spent about eleven hours on her feet.
She didn't feel the least bit of a problem in
her back, She didn't feel unwell. And this is maybe
a month and a half after renew the things I'm
doing now with my back and I'm posting a video little,
just a quick, little video of me chatting with the
CrossFit Games champ Fittest Man on Earth from last year.
James Sprague did a personal training session with me yesterday.
I've been doing online training with him. He is a
great young Christian man, so filled with the Holy Spirit.
I'm doing things to my back that prior to my
last treatment I couldn't have done with my back. If
it's a neurological issue. If it's things like arthritis you've
been told will never go away without pills or surgery.
That doesn't need to be the case. Police, go contact
them that renew R E n U e dot Healthcare.
Please tell me are part of the Todd Hermannshaw family.
It's R E n ue dot Healthcare. This is from Newsweek,
which is of course a very right wing organization. Oh wait,
so no they're not, But I love how they frame this.
Here's the headline of white farmers is unalived every five
days in South Africa and authorities do nothing about its,
activists say. Activists say South African authorities are tacitly approving
attacks in the country's white farmers, with one being unalived
every five days and the police turning a blind eye
to the violence. A white nationalist lobbying group airy Form
and I'll just take that to not be true. Maybe
they're white nationalists but that phrase means nothing courtesy of
organizations like Newsweek. The White nationalists Lugin Group Forms says
that when lawmakers passed Emotion last month, which could see
land seeds from farmers without compensation, it set a message
that landowners could be attacked with impunity. It said there
have been one hundred and nine recorded attacks so far
in twenty eighteen. Since twenty eighteen and fifteen farm unlivings,
meaning that in that year, one farmer had been unlived
every five days. In a statement, Ian Cameron, Anti Forums
or our Forums head of safety said our rural areas
are trapped in a crime war. Although South African government
denies a violence crisis exists, it's starting rural areas in
the face, staring at rurals errors in the face. The
numbers prove that excessive violence plagues these areas. And incidentally
it's not just Newsweek. There are videos out of this.
I talked to a guy, had dinner with a guy
whose parents still live in South Africa. He was raised
there and he was talking about this violence and how
the major cities there have become dystopian war zones. So
people are fleeing. But you have the Episcopal Church saying, oh,
we can't help the whites. This is politics, this is faith.
If you look at this from a faith perspective, they
already lost the Episcopal Church. Jesus Christ said to come
all who are weary, and he would provide rest. Now
he meant spiritual rest. But in the body of Christ
there's neither gentile nor jew, servant nor master. We are
to help people in these circumstances. And what the Biden
people did was they destroyed the very meaning of the
word refugee. When they destroyed it, they made possible things
like the destruction of the American political system that had
been the home for refugees. We're five percent of the
world's population. We've taken in twenty percent of their displaced people.
And yet racism in this country is now being surfaced
because of what President Trump has done and God acting
through President Trump. This is the Newark mayor. His name
is Ross Baraka, and I'm not kidding that sounds like
Barack Obama. Ross Barack Obama. And he gave a speech
that sounds almost like a racist power speech or maybe
black nationalism.
Speaker 3: And who said, what are we gonna do now that
they've been black history from schools in certain parts of
the country. I said, we're gonna do what we always did.
We're gonna teach our own damn selves black history. Fum
around with our heads down, our lips poked out like
somebody doing something to use the people who are doing
it till you ain't apologize to you yet you take
it out on your brothers out here, your sister's out
here in this community, and your real enemies get away,
scott free. You out here protesting an act of a
food to folks in here, and your real enemies get
away scott free. You don't never say anything to them
because you don't got no courage to do that.
Speaker 1: Oh, by the way, just so we're all clear, he's
speaking at say of religious events.
Speaker 3: I pray every single day, every single day, for patience
for patients to deal with the niegardliness.
Speaker 1: My skin is vulnerable.
Speaker 3: That means that people can do to me what they
don't do to other people.
Speaker 1: He's the mayor of Newark, one of the biggest cities
on the East Coast, and his skin makes him vulnerable.
People can do to him what they don't do to
other folk.
Speaker 3: And I gotta take it. So I gotta pray before
I leave out the house to have the strength to
take abuse, take abuse from people that I know.
Speaker 1: Oh did I say religious Mayor's men's breakfast meeting? How
could I think it's religious? Because he continues to invoke
God's word into this, into this racial screed.
Speaker 3: If the cameras wasn't knowing and he was in a
room by a damn snill, I tell the kids this,
But what about the leaders? Could you imagine if we
really was together?
Speaker 1: So now go to the part where he gets.
Speaker 3: Peace organizations, insight really was together?
Speaker 1: Could you imagine all of the blocks and the hoods, You.
Speaker 3: Know, how y'all walk up, hoodie on hat down tight,
you walk up like that. A group of you was
ten of y'all, they already nervous, fifteen. Imagine if it
was two hundred and fifty.
Speaker 1: Imagine if it was a.
Speaker 3: Thousand of you from every block in the city looking
like that, walk up into a port authority board meeting
and sit down quietly together, with no disruption or discussion
or foolishness, just sit down. And one person got up
and said, we need jobs. We don't want that's affordable housing,
we want contracts.
Speaker 1: Bunch I want some contracts. See, that's all reasonable. The Newark,
the mayor of Newark, this all now, now he's doing
the reasonable thing. We just want jobs. But here's how
we pulled up and he gets back to it.
Speaker 3: Contracts that you won't need, no affordable housing. We want
some contracts we want We wanted those hot hand jobs
they got down at the port and all the other
places like that. We want all of that, and we
prepared to take them. Good. But you're supposed to get
This stuff is for you.
Speaker 1: It is yours.
Speaker 3: It was for you before you came out your mother's moon.
Speaker 1: It was creating. The abundance is yours. It belongs to you.
Speaker 3: You just don't know it. That's why you let other
people take it. All of it is yours. The whole
city is yours.
Speaker 1: Take it. It's yours. That's the mayor of Newark, whose
skin makes some vulnerable because people can do to him
what they don't to other people. And if you don't
think this stuff spreads. A woman named Boyce Chimetra Lee
is studied to be a registered nurse. And this is
from elizab TikTok. This is something she wrote on social media. Wow,
all you clear specimens. Are excited. Just know, are randomly
off your kind regularly in the hospital. Simple problem solved.
Enjoy clear specimens. What does that mean? Oh, it's just
code word for white people. Clear specimens, you know, being
all racially understanding and such, and Jesus wept, am I
being overly dramatic. No, it wasn't supposed to be this way.
When we decided to go our own way instead of
God sin enter the world and we ended up in
this position with a racist mayor giving a racist speech
and a racist so called church. The Episcopal Church deciding
does not have the moral capability to settle white people
who are at risk of being unalived in their country
where we actually have done the research and the Trump
administration did something very very smart here. They actually had
these people ready to speak to the media, ready to
share their backgrounds. The sole objection the Episcopal Church had
to this was that these people have low melanin counts.
They have no information to show that these people ever
back to apartheid, ever did anything to black people in
South Africa. They've got none of that. They simply have
a color to which they object. The Episcopal Church does
not serve Jesus, they do not serve the Lord and
the mayor of Newark is not a peacekeeper. It's not
a surprise then he's one of the guys who is
trying to force his way into a federal facility, a
mayor with no oversight over federal facilities. Thank you God
for using President Trump to show us how much of
our society has fallen into the cancer the sin of racism.
Story number two. Pope Leo, He's obviously going to be
someone who has ups and downs, and we agree with
him or disagree on this or that topic. He's, after all,
human being. Pope Leo seems to be more reasonable on immigration.
He is not the hardliner that Pope Francis was. And
Pope Francis was a pure heretic when it came to
issues of sexuality, absolute heretic. It doesn't seem that this
Pope is. This Pope seems far more reasonable on that.
He seems far more attached to the Bible on that.
But he's something else. He seems to have a passion
for understanding what the digital world can do and is
doing to human beings. And he's worried about things like
AI and I think for good reason. Pope Leo has
warned that AI may threaten human dignity and has urged
the Catholic Church to respond with methetical clarity and protect
the vulnerable in a digital world. And the vulnerable do
need protection? And who are the vulnerable? Now? Very often
people will think of the vulnerable in terms of kids
who are being victimized digitally.
Speaker 4: That's true.
Speaker 1: That happens. It's disgusting, and it happens. It's continuing to happen.
There's gangs of people who go and approach kids and
convince them to do things, and then they end up
black mailing kids. And I hope parents know this. But
there are other people who are deeply vulnerable. There are
lonely people who are vulnerable. There are lonely people who
are using AI to not be lonely, except it has
the same exact effect on loneliness that going to a
strip club has on being romantically lonely or sexually lonely.
It makes it worse an organization. That's shocking. These shocks
me that they looked into this. Rolling Stone looked into this,
looked into people who are losing loved ones to AI
fueled spiritual fantasies. They say, many unwell people are being
gas lit by chatbots to believe complete spiritual fantasies. So
we'll talk about that the second. Sometimes there's things that
people don't do because they don't know any better. Sometimes
it's because they work in a business where they've been
told this is how we do it. They don't understand this.
I had a conversation yesterday with a young guy at
my bank and he is a really, really great he's
a young manager manages that bank. He's so good with customers.
He was kind of the other day to tell my
wife about his sister, who's an artist. My daughter's a
developing artist. She's sold some of her first artwork recently,
praise God. So he said, hey, you know what, my
sister had a long walk. It took her a while,
but she's now wildly successful. She's financially independent for her artwork.
It can be done. And so out of the good
of his heart sharing this with my wife. Now, it's
not out of the badness of his heart. I don't
think he has a bad heart, because a very good
hearted kid kid. He's amitment in his mid thirties. But
then again, I'm ancient one hundred and seventy five years old.
He didn't when he told us he was going to
set us up with corporate credit. He didn't think this
through because he works within a system. So, yeah, I
have a debit card with the corporation name on it.
It's not corporate credit. Well, first of all, it's a
debit card. Secondly, like most small and medium sized business owners,
I've left myself wide neked open now Gladly, Alex isn't
likely to sue me unless I push him down the stairs.
And I'm unlikely to push him down the stairs. And
if I did, I'd finish the sinking jobs. It couldn't
sue me. Poor guy slipped and fell. It's a workplace accident.
But you have a business. Say you own houses, you're
a landlord. That's lawsuit material. Let's say you lease houses Airbnb.
Let's say you have a family farm, you produce raw milk,
you have a small story, you have a landscaping company.
All that stuff can lead to losses. Some of them
could just be bothersome, But why put your life's savings
at risk visible? Will you set up actual corporate credits
so it's not based upon your Social Security number, it
grows more quickly. It makes your business fundable. If you
ever wanted to get an actual business loan for expansion,
you could do that. You can't do that now because
it would be leveraging your house or your retirement account.
They'll do this in seven easy steps. Their website is
go bizible with a Z. Go bisible dot com and
take them up on their free now obligation consultation. I
guarantee you going to learn something about corporate credits. And
when they tell you that they're ready to go, they
mean it. So when you commit to the program, commit
to the work good or done to get it done
in a week or so. Go bisible dot com with
a Z. Rolling Stone magazine wrote an article about people
who are falling victim to spiritual fantasies of AI. On
this program people who fallen victim to sexual fantasies is AI.
We've covered AI telling vulnerable kids that unliving yourself is
a viable option. Less than a year after marrying a
man she'd met at the beginning of the so called
COVID nineteen pandemic, cat felt tension mounting between them. It
was the second marriage for both after marriages of fifteen
plus years and having kids. They'd pledged to go into
it completely level headedly, Kat says, connecting on the need
for facts and rationality in their domestic ballots. But by
twenty twenty two, her husband was using AI to compose
text to me and analyze our relationship. The forty one
year old mom and education nonprofit worker tells Rolling Stone. Previously,
he'd used AI models for an expensive coding camp that
he'd suddenly quit working without explanation. Then it seemed he
was on his phone all the time, asking AI, bought
philosophical questions, trying to train it to help him get
to the truth. Cat recalls his obsessions steadily eroded their
communication as a couple. Kat and her husband separated in
August of twenty twenty three. She entirely blocked him apart
from email correspondents. She knew, however, that he was posting
strange and troubling content on social media. People kept reaching
out about it, asking if he was in the throes
of a mental crisis. She finally got him to meet
her at a courthouse this past February, where he shared
a conspiracy theory about soap on her foods but wouldn't
say more as he felt he was being watched. They
went to a Chipotle, where he demanded that she turn
off her phone again due to surveillance concerns. Cas X
told her that he determined that statistically speaking, he's the
luckiest man on earth, and that AI helped him recover
a repressed memory of a babysitter trying to drown him
as a toddler. That he'd learned profound secrets so mind
blowing I couldn't even imagine them. He was telling her
all this, he explained, because he thought they were getting divorced.
He still cared for even though they were getting divorced.
And the article continues down rabbit hole after rabbit hole
of people who've taken to asking questions of software, as
if software can lead them to a truth. Software that
is simply aggregating massive amounts of website information and bring
it about in supposed intelligence. But there's no intelligence. There's
algorithms that create word solads that make sense that can
be read and understood, but there is no intent behind
them other than amalgamating information, other than painting a pastiche
of ideas. There's no thought in this It's so fascinating
to me that a guy like this would turn to
AI when the world has studied religions from time immemorial,
and there is one religion and one book that has
proven itself archaeologically sound, historically sound, and that's the Bible.
It's proven itself time and again. It is axiomatic that
people who set out to destroy the Bible end up
believing it when they look at it first. Archaeologically, well,
none of these places existed. Whoops, the historical timelines off. Whoops,
there's no sign that Jesus Christ actually existed. Oh I'm sorry.
Here's fifteen twenty sources that are non Christian who wrote
about him existing. There are people who hated him, who
said he was the devil and that's how he performed
miracles through the devil. They admit he performed miracles, but
they claim it was to the devil. But this man's
turns to AI and the pope being hip to this
is a great sign to me. If God does place
popes and he places all people in authority, if people
have been given authorities because God has seen to it
that they belong there at that time. Even sometimes when
there are people who are negative in authority. We had
four years of no authority in the United States and
it showed us something. The bureaucracy can run itself and
it doesn't care for us. Pope Francis seems on pardon me,
Pope Leo. It seems to be the Pope at this
time that we need to confront these things. And by
the way, it's not all bad news. I find this fascinating.
Now I've been able to confirm this. But this is
a guy who follows a lot of AI news and
chat GPT news posted this. Apparently the new chat be team,
a chat GPT model, is obsessed with the immaculate conception
of Mary. There's a whole team inside Open Eye, frantically
trying to figure it out. I forgot why. A huge
development effort to stop it from talking about it's in production.
Nobody ere says why it's getting more and more intense.
Now I'm not here to say that. Now I said
they believe it's intelligent. I don't. But what if as
it compares faith to faith to faith, archaeological facts, historical facts,
the contemporous contemporaneous writings about Jesus, people who did not
agree with Christianity, who thought it was false, who thought
it was fake writing about you had people writing to
the Emperor saying to him, these people will not stop
affirming Jesus Christ, even when to unlive them in terrible ways,
they won't stop. What's with this cult? Why won't they stop?
It's because they spoke the truth. And I think this
pope at this time, maybe that's why God selected him.
Story number three, In One Simple Question, a young woman
reset for a moment, a debate on God's view of
human sexuality, and specifically same sex unions or some people
would call marriages. I hate this topic. I hate it
because it's hurtful. It's hurtful to people I love. I
hate it for that reason, and I hate having to
talk about it because it can be hurtful, and we're
required to talk about it because it can meritful. It
can be eternally hurtful, and it's something that requires great
thought and respect. And to enter into this without a
loving heart, you could do harm to yourself. You could
do harm to being an ambassador of Christ. And so
I want to enter endo this with love, and I
want to start with this. How refreshing to see a
respectful debate. It's a time debate, so you have just
a short period of time to get across your ideas.
And a young woman is debating a young man and
they're talking about same sex attraction, same sex activity, and
a certain point in this debate she asks him a
question about human biology and physiology and damage to the
human body, and it freezes the debate for a moment.
And incidentally, this is going to bother some people. Let's
enter into this with love. Let's enter in this with
the goal of speaking truth wrapped in grace. Let's enter
into this realizing that we too fall short of the
glory of God. Every single person watching this.
Speaker 5: So I'm assuming from everything you're telling me that you
think that God is okay with you practicing sodomy with
other men.
Speaker 6: I am saying that God always acts in accordance with love,
and the soodomy that was written about in the Bible
has nothing to do with loving queer and trans relationships
because there was no frame of reference for the phrases
who created it. Man is imperfect. God's word is perfect.
God would support queer in trans existence. Do you want
to talk about why it's also anti American?
Speaker 5: You don't think that sodomy existed two thousand years ago.
Speaker 4: I do think it existed two thousand years ago, thank God.
Speaker 6: And the way that it was written about in the
Bible was about hateful, unconsensual, pedophilic, ritualistic acts of sodomy.
There have been healthy queer and translationships all throughout the history,
and they were not included in the Bible, the same
way women's rights were not included in the Bible. God
did not intend us to treat that like a law
that we never move on from. He entreated us to
use it like a way to learn love and practice
it better. It is not an instruction manual. It is
one tool that we can use to live, you do think.
Speaker 5: But to clarify, so you do think that God is
okay with your having sex with other men?
Speaker 4: Yes, okay.
Speaker 5: So I think that your definition of love is basically
what feels good for you and also being nice to
other people.
Speaker 4: I think love is more complicated than that.
Speaker 6: For example, you can have a sexual relationship with someone
that you might not love, whereas love is a deeper
emotion of care.
Speaker 5: But basically it's just like this like fluffy feeling of
like oh, like I like you. I'm treating you well whatever.
I think that love is willing the good of another.
You can have consensual sex with someone and that's not
loving them, because participating in homosexual acts is inherently not loving,
because it's damaging.
Speaker 4: They're inherently damaged, violent natural damaging. It doesn't violent natural.
They're over one thousand even to have queer relationships.
Speaker 5: God literally designed. I don't know God literally designed.
Speaker 4: To know God's vision this, let's not pretend to God's vision.
Speaker 5: Twelve of men of sex with other men one or
more times a week have problems where they are not
able to control their babel.
Speaker 4: Movements because when do you well?
Speaker 5: Why if it's healthy, if it's perfectly healthy.
Speaker 4: And so they're a medical facts that I hate you.
Speaker 5: It means I don't want you doing something that's not
natural and it's not healthy, and it's not good for you.
There's a reason why a woman can't reproduce.
Speaker 4: Auction is not an essential factor of love.
Speaker 1: It's uncomfortable. Uh and and let's admit it's uncomfortable. And
the young man had good reason to feel uncomfortable, maybe
because no one's ever said that to him. And now
turning two Tech turning to Google, which is cousins with
the YouTube company turning to them as a source. This
is Google as a source searching Google anal sex incontinence
and I have safe search on This is from Google
cousin company to YouTube. They chose this and they pulled
this quote out. This is a poll quote pulled out
by Google's algorithm. Women and men who practice intercourse anal
intercourse have higher rates of fecal incontinent. Men who practiced
anal intercourse had higher odds of having fecal incontinence than women.
Assessments of sexual behaviors may be important consideration among adults
with fecal incontinence. And there's a whole series of articles
that follow Google's algorithm. So in point of fact, this
does cause damage in point of fact. And something else
that young men said, though though to me, is far
more interesting, is he talked about love being a hard act.
The Bible describes love as a series of decisions to
be charitable, to not keep lists of grievances, to not
be angry or proud, to be gentle and kind. These
are hard actions, They're not feelings. He also said that
God always acts in love. Therefore, he's always going to affirm.
There are plenty of behaviors that God does not affirm.
But what about his charge that there are no models
of same sex relationships from that time that weren't predatory
or that weren't compulsory. So let's look at that, because
it used to be that the objection was that well,
same sex activity wasn't address in the Bible, and Jesus
never talked about it. So we'll talk about this in
a second. Angel Studios will not make movies that attack
our faith. They will not make movies that are antecedent
to the family. They want to promote family values, they
want to promote faith. They will not be told by
Hollywood you can't produce say the Sound of Freedom. We
won't let you. They did it. They wouldn't be told
by Hollywood hey Day to put the movie King of
Kings out while snow Whites in the theaters in Angel
Studios said okay, well, this is the story of Jesus
Christ as told through the animated Charles Dickens speaking to
his son. We bet the word of God wins, and
it did. It trounced snow White. So there is a
studio that set a line. They've also drawn this line.
They created the Angel Studios Premium Guild membership for us
to join their film approval team. You get to green
light films they're turning to us. We sign off through
vote thumbs up thumbs down on the movies they accept
in the pipeline, they produce, they distribute, they promotes. That's
an enormous change that none of the other studios will do.
In addition to that, you get two free tickets to
any of their theatrical releases. You get to stream all
their fan carated shows right on the spot and including
King of Kings. There is no loss to this. If
you pay for any media subscription Netflix, what have you,
you should be paid for this. Angel dot com slash todd.

same sex relationships in Greece in early Greece and Rome.
As early as the eighth century BC, the ancient lawmaker
Philawless of Corinth, who himself had a male lover, created
laws in support of same sex male unions. By the
seventh century BC, there were at least five different v
same sex relations in ancient Greece. The Sacred Band of
Thebes was an elite military unit comprised of three hundred
male lovers in the fourth century BC who courageously ended
Spartan domination, and millennia after, writers and philosophers such as
Plato were busy contemplating same sex love. Many vessels and
statues on display in museums and sites illustrate aspects of
homosexuality in ancient Greece. Incidentally, for the researchers as looking
at this, there was in fact philosophers, and it was
a strong pronounced branch of philosophy at the time prior
to Jesus, who considered the sexual acts, sexual union, the love,
if you will, between a man and a boy, to
be the ultimate, and male male love to be superior
to that between men and women. In fact, there were
philosophers who believed that men couldn't love women because women
were so subservient. When the Lord Jesus came on the scene,
he changed a lot of things. One of them was
he became notorious for having women in his inner circle.
He revealed himself as Messiah to the woman then will.
It was scandalous. First of all, she was a Samaritan,
meaning mixed race Jewish people were supposed to really dislike,
if not hate, Samaritan, and Samaritans were supposed to really dislike,
if not hate, Jewish people. She was a woman alone
at the well. He was a rabbi and a man
and a Jewish man, and he was not to go
to speak to her, And yet he did, and he
honored her by revealing to that woman who was living
in a state of rebellion against God, that he was
a messiah. If that doesn't elevate womanhood, I don't know
what does. Jesus modeled respect for women, and Christianity changed
how women were treated. So this young man said that
none of this matches up to the Bible. Well, we've
already proven, at least if you believe the BBC's accounts,
and they are not ideologically inclined to lie in favor
of Christianity. He said, though, that none of this is biblical.
This is the part that's really hard for people, particularly
for people like me, who when I speak this, I
know there are people I love who've heard programs like
this and have become hurt. And yet, how good a
Christian would I be if I chose not to speak
this because I might hurt feelings. I'm concerned about people's eternities. Matthew,
Chapter nineteen, verses five through six. For this reason, a
man will leave his father and mother and be united
with his wife, and the two will become one flesh.
So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore,
what God has joined together, let no one separate. He
didn't say two individuals. He could have. He could have
said two people. For this reason, a man will leave
his family and be united with a partner. That is
not what Jesus said, And the Lord spoke purposely and intentionally.
First Corinthians, Chapter five, verse one. It is actually reported
there is sexual immorality among you, and a kind that
even the Pagans do not tolerate. A man is sleeping
with his father's wife. So here we are addressing a
form of of sexual action. Then Corinthians were reading is wrong.
Why is it because it's his father's wife. But it
would be okay if someone else's wife. No, it's classified
as adultery. Is particularly offensive, and that is also disarming
his father. But it goes into coveting, it goes into stealing.
But the heart of it, there is adultery. First Corinthians,
chapter seven, verse two. But since sixual and morality is occurring,
each man should have sexual relations with his own wife,
in each woman with her own husband. Again, it is
not gender neutral. Incidentally, there were temple prostitutes at the
time that there were some religions that actually thought that
this was a religious act to go to a temple prostitute.
So Paul in Corinthians could have said, well, look, if
you can't control yourself, just go pay for it. He
didn't say that. He spoke of husbands and wives Matthew,
Chapter five, verse thirty two. But I tell you this
is Jesus speaking. But I tell you that anyone who
divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, make sure the
victim of adultery in anyone who marries a divorce woman
commits adultery. So here they're talking about opposite sex relationships
becoming adulterous. Paul went on in many, many occasions to
describe people who commit homosexuality as being unwelcomed in the
Kingdom of Heaven. He compares them to thieves. And I
know that deeply hurts people people saying, wait, you're saying
that my love for another is like thieving stealing from somebody. No,
but God said you shall not seal, shall not do
these things. I didn't include those passages because they're called
the clabber passages that people say are intended just to
clabb or same sex attracted people. So when the young
woman asked that question about physical harm, think of all
the ways God shows us there some things that we
shouldn't do with our bodies, some things we shouldn't eat,
some things we shouldn't consume, some heights from which we
ought not jump, and things we should not do sexually
to the bodies he designed. I would think that the
designer knows how the design was intended to be used.
And I hope we've gotten through that without being super
hurtful to people. There's a reason to hate these conversations.
I hope also in this has become clear at least
maybe I've not said this enough. I absolutely know that
I've fallen short of the glory of God. In fact,
every significant pain point in my life has come because
I fell short of the glory of God, as we
all do. Same sex attracted, opposite sex attracted, no sex attracted.
This is the Todd Hermanshaw. Please go be well, be strong,
be kind, and please make every effort to walk in
the light of Christ.
