Speaker 1: Welcome to the Three Stories version of the Todd Herman Shows.
Story number one donald Trump's never even bent to Israel
or something storry number two Meet Donald P. Trump? Can
you guess what the peace stands for? And Story number
three claboring Jesus, the sexual Left's newest tactic. And we'll
talk about all this with the help of God Almighty.
Speaker 2: But Todd Herman Show is one hundred percent disapproved by
big pharma technocrats in tyrn s everywhere from the high
mountains of Free America. Here's the Emerald City exid Todd Herman.
Speaker 1: Today is to day the Lord has made, and these
are the time to which God has decided we shall live.
If you ask the Mockingbird media or you look at
their work and my friend Chris Bray, who writes a
substack at a site called tell me how this ends
Chris brand Substack, the pace leaders are winning, the pace
theaters are reporting on President Trump's peace mission. If you
ask me, I think what you look at if you
see their work, It's that Donald Trump's never even been
to Israel or something like that, so you could have
all the opinions you want. And Israel and Hamas here's
What you can't be of the mind of and to
be accurate at all, is that Donald Trump didn't anything
to do with this ceasefire and now signed peace deal.
Is it going to last outside side of the scope
for this portion of the program? Are they going to
be further attacks outside the scope? President Trump has put
together a piece deal and it does have teeth in it,
and the teeth are frankly all on the side of Israel.
Hamas steps outside of this. Harmas failed to live up
to the terms of this, then the United States has
effectively given Israel carte blanche to utterly decimates, utterly destroy Gaza.
I pray to God that doesn't happen. I believe that
Hamas practices a false faith, and since I'm an evangelical
Christian and I know that the only way to the
Lord is through the Jesus Christ, who is the Way,
the truth, and the Life. No one gets to the
Lord without him unless it's through Jesus Christ. Period. I
know that Jewish people absent Jesus will spend e Trinity
apart from God. I don't compare that to the actively
evil faith of Islam. And I have plenty of criticisms
about the Israeli government. I recognize the very special covenant
God has with the Jewish people, and that's clearly biblical.
It's also biblical that sometimes Israel have bad kings. So
say what you want about the government. It's fine review
bbing at now Who's performance in October seventh. A lot
of people find it very questionable. Fine, fair game, do that.
But what you can't do is pretend that Trump has
never been to Israel. A lot of this came out
of this article Chris wrote to Pace Eaters by Chris Bray.
This is from the Daily Beast. Here's how they're looking
at this moment in time when President Trump was at
his most relaxed. Did you hear the press conference Trump gave.
He was at his most relax. I think, most humorous
and most personable. I think a great sense of relief.
You can say what you want about Trump, but he
hates war. That's very evident he hates it. So here's
the Daily Beast looking at this moment in time. Trump
fumes his protesters spoil his big moment. That's the headline.
That's the lead on the Daily Beast. The wild story
behind Colbert's shocking CBS guest spot newsom roast Trump seventy
nine over umbrellas has just roasted him. President Trump was
having trouble opening an umbrella. I've had trouble opening umbrellas.
Is sometimes umbrellas get screwed up. Martin Sheen tortures Trump's
joyless cabinet. World leader awkwardly snubs Trump. Limo rides some
of the invite. Jasmine Crockett roast Trump chances of getting
into heaven Dart's best kept secrets in fragrance right now.
But nothing in here about a peace deal. So President
Trump has apparently never been to Israel. This is from
the New Republic Ready. Trump fumbles repeatedly while bragging in
front of world leaders. Trump spends peace summit whining how
we want a police state? Trump tells fellow world leaders
He's the only one that matters. This is how slavishly
devoted Mark Rubiley is to trum. Can't you hear them
pronouncing it that way? Can barely come out of the throats.
But nothing to hear about a peace deal. So in
on the second, we'll get into some poll responses here
about how much President Trump had to do with this
particular ceasefire and peace deal. And maybe so, I'm sick
of war in the Middle East. I'm sick of seeing
Palestinians killed. I'm sick of seeing Israeli's similarly unlived. I'm
sick of it. And I think it's a dangerous thing
to try to think like God. We can consult his words,
we can spend time with Christians more mature than we are.
We can spend time in prayer and make sure that
during prayer we have listened to God. But man, I'm
just praise God that he sent Jesus to atone for
our sins to be the propitiation to pay debts. We
can't because on that time of the Christ the Cross,
Jesus paid for every sin that was ever committed, every
sin that ever will be committed, and he took those
cups of wrath upon himself. And there is going to
be a judgment day and Jesus this time, not God,
the Father, Jesus is going to come as a judge
and he's going to have a lot to say about
rampant taking of human life. Let's look more at the
media here. President Trump has never apparently been to Israel,
except maybe he was going to go to Israel one
day or do something. This is a woman who used
to work for Trump and then at that point Trump
was a very good leader, very respectful, smart man, didn't
get enough credits, and then she went for work to
work at the View and Trump is literally orange hitler.
This is Alyssa Ferrar and she made a promise. Let's
see if this.
Speaker 3: Gets paid off, single thing, a five alarm fire, if
he does good, if he gets the Israeli hostages. I
promise I will wear a Maga hat for one day
on the show and say thank you for doing it.
She'll knock it right off my head. You have to
be able to cheer for wins when they happen and
then call out relentlessly the wrong.
Speaker 1: D well yet me, it's sweet? Did we did that?
Did she wear that hat yet? Did that happen? Did
she go and pay that off? I haven't seen that.
Do you think she's going to do that? Do you
think that the organization will let her do that? Do
you think ABC News will let her do that? Or
ABC Entertainment. I'm betting, not betting Disney. What allows to happen?
Maybe as a joke, maybe she'll have one made that
says something snarky on and I'm counting on no now
she should have leaped straight into this to celebrate, but
she didn't. Christine i'm a poor had an interesting take.
And so people who were minding their own business at
home when Hamas terrorists broke into their homes or captured
them out in public all r at a music festival,
seized them, took them away, hid them in a dark dungeon,
didn't let them see family of friends for two years,
Deprive them of sunshine, deprive them of freedom. And they
didn't get to vote on any of that at no time,
to my knowledge, at no time that Hamas hold elections
saying do you want to stay in captivity? That that
didn't happen. But Christine a'm apor has this interesting take
about people who get to vote for Hamas leadership in
the so called Pastinian territory. So here's Christine i'm apor
And I think.
Speaker 4: For sure people who start to talk to the hostages
who've only just been released will find that it will
take a long long time for them to recover physically
but also mentally. It's been a terrible, terrible two.
Speaker 5: Years for them because not only are they there, you know,
They're probably been treated better than the average Gazen because
they are the pawns and the chips that Hamas had.
Now Hamas has given up all its leverage, by the way,
by giving them all up, So that is a victory
for the Israel.
Speaker 1: They've been treated better than the average Ghasen. The amount
of aid that the world has poured in to Gaza,
air drops, et cetera. That ridiculous and failed doc that
the figurehead had our navy build when our navy wastn't
to equipped to do that, and then the docks sunk
and the ship broke down and they had to send
another ship to get the ship, and they had a
lot of the guys who were building that were unarmed,
and praise God that they didn't get killed in that
aren't alived. So that's Christine, I'm a pors you. The
White House put this picture up of bb Netnyahu and
President Trump, Peace through Strength. It's a very dramatic picture.
Obviously it's a pr thing. Obviously that's what it's stage
to be. The black and whites aren't purpose. It happened,
and you can again think whatever you want about the
two guys, be my guest think whatever you want, but
we're gonna compare this picture to how the social media
team at Gavin Newsom's office responded and what people think
about Trump's role in this, and we'll do that in
just a second. Look, think whatever you want about President
Trump's plans for the economy. There are moneies coming in
from tariffs that is happening. It isn't the trillions of
dollars now. Is it attacks? Yeah? I mean it's attacked
when companies starts passing the cost along to us. A
lot of them have refused to do that because they
don't want President Trump to attack them at the bullet pulpit.
Smart move, smart move for the president. There's a lot,
though not on our sides, such as this. The stock
markets hates math Tesla is an insanely overvalued stock in
Nvidia is insanely overvalued. Apple is insanely overvalued, and yet
they continue to just have money poured and pored and
poured into them, a lot of it through electronic trading.
There's a lot of things that people aren't noticing. There's
a massive need for energy in America, massive need. So
there's going to have to be these regional energy production plants.
Are you investing in local utilities? Regional utilities? What about
the trucks that take the stuff to the local utilities?
What about the fuel needed to build them? What about
the copper needed to be in those plants? Are you
investing in that? Is your produciary doing that? If not,
sing out in my judgment, one of the biggest upsides
in history. In my judgment, my friend Zach Abraham, Chief

Truck twenty five Dash two nine to eight. How much
of a role you gov asked in a poll, how
much of a role do you think Donald Trump played
in the recent peace deal between Israel and Hamas? How
that's interesting They didn't say President Trump. I wonder why
a major role thirty four percent. Fifteen percent of Democrats
say a major role independence twenty six Republicans sixty three percent,
a minor role twenty four percent, and Democrats is thirty
six percent say minor role, not sure or no role
at all, sixteen percent say no role at all. Twenty
seven percent of Democrats say no role at all. Three
percent of Republicans say no role at all. None. The
very fact that he pushed it is playing a role. Now,
this is a view from another perspective. This is a
former Israeli hostage. He has a view on the election.
Speaker 6: Yes, it seemed he got me out. He got the
hostages out before we felt like nothing is happening, you know,
and I remember there for me there ever since he
came into the road. They were very scared of him. Yeah,
they wanted two terrorists.
Speaker 1: We're afraid of Trump.
Speaker 6: Yeah, they wanted Kamala to be chosen.
Speaker 1: You talk to politics with them, yeah.
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, they wanted Kamala to be elected. But as
soon as as as as a Donald Trump was elected,
they understood that he wants to bring the usages back home.
Speaker 1: And something about Trump, he's unpredictable. The United States has
been utterly predictable at the State department level because what's
bad for the United States is what they pursue, because
that's their ideology. The State Department the United States is
the source of all evil. So as that's going on,
here's Chuck Schumer, who represents a bunch of Jewish people
in the state of New York, watched this.
Speaker 7: It is just such a hallmark of tyrannical, autocratic dictatorship
societies that the they use the Prosecutorial Department as a
political weapon. It is a disgrace and every American, I
don't care if you're a Democrat, Republican, liberal, conservative, moderate
people should be forcefully rising up against.
Speaker 1: This, forcefully rising up as a peace deals done in
Israel and say what you want about it. He's talking
about more violence here, Chuck Schumer, this is a response
to all of this. And if you look at this
and how we began the segments and the statement we had,
Donald Trump's never been to Israel. Apparently no credits. This
is how Gavin Newssom's social media team responded to that.
It's a black and white image of BBNT and Yahoo
and President Trump. It's a picture from dumb and Dummer,
Jim Carrey and the other guy who's no longer famous,
and I don't know if he acts Jeff something or other.
Donald Trump's never been to Israel. If you get your
news from the view, donald Trump's never even been there.
And if your social media is Gavin Newsom, there's your take.
Story number two, Meet Donald P. Trump. Do you know
what the peace stands for? Well, if you know me,
you might take a good solid guess at what it
stands for. It should stand for peace. President Trump has
settled a lot of wars. Yes, he's been a peace president.
He's still trying between Russia and Ukraine and apparently Milania
Trump and who knows if she's really involved in this,
Maybe she is is apparently getting hostages out of Ukraine,
families reunited, praisecot. If that's happening, praise good. I don't
care who's doing it. If it's Millennia, she should get
the credit. He stopped wars, probably five of them. Now,
say what you will about the deal Amas in Israel.
It's done. So it could stand for P could stand
for prosperity. Donald P. Trump. I know his middle name
is Jay Donald John, but Donald P. Trump could stand
for prosperity. Because President Trump is doing a lot to
bring manufacturing back here, and the tariffs will leverage. Young
American car companies have been sending their cars to be
assembled in Canada, and President Trump says, Okay, you can
do that, but they're going to be a lot more
expensive because we want it done here. And it's not
like we're the other one who use tariffs or economic
leverage this way. Tax tax is force and government has
used it for years to extract to guide social behaviors.
I hate that, but that time is gone. We're past
the time where that's not going to be the case
unless we pass the fair tax. God bless it. The
actual affair at tax. I'd love that so much. That
would just destroy the irs. It'd be just the perfect
way to run the economy. It's probably not gonna happen.
This is getting closer, So it could stand for prosperity.
A lot of things that could stand for stand for people.
President Trump has a great ability to connect with a
lot of people. A lot of folks have decided to
hate him, and there's the Trump Arrangement syndrome thing. But
I think President Trump cares about people and I think
that's evident in his response to storms and hurricanes, in
response to people who are being harmed by gender ideology.
I think he's got a great care for people. I
think the fact that President Trump hates war, and it's
very obvious President Trump hates war. He's not jumping up
and then to go get involved in them, and that's
something of caring for people. Now, I know he's doing
the war and bombing these ships that are bringing drugs
to a country. In terms of loss of life, it's
a relatively small number. Now, I'm not the people on
the boats have been bombed and they're not my family members.
So far for me to say that the President Trump
is taking a militaristic approach to stopping a militaristic assault
in our country. The drugs coming into a country, fentanyl, etc.
Are ruining lives. And if they don't take lives immediately,
if they don't un alive people immediately, they eventually do.
They destroy economies and minds and souls. And it's a
militaristic outfit that's doing this. The cartels are militaristic. They
send people into our military to get training for a
couple of years and then take them out, let them
wash out. Sometimes they'll keep them in longer to get
trained while they get paid. I mean, why train your
own people? Have the United States military train them that way?
When you go to war against the United States military,
you'll know their tactics. Cartels make a habit of that.
They're at at least paramilitary. In reality, they're military organizations.
And President Trump's taking that approach. Does that make them
not the peace President's I don't think so. Maybe it's
the policing president. So there's that. That pee can stand
for a lot of things. For me, sadly, it stands
for something else, something that's very very bothersome to me.
Speaker 6: The pete.
Speaker 1: We'll talk about this in a second. You know, we
finally found the people are going to wash our house
when we leave. Got a friend of mine who served
in the military Special Force is gonna come over and
spend some time in Idaho, and I'm encouraging them to
go down to the chainsaw party.
Speaker 2: Not at the lake.
Speaker 1: The chainsaw party is I won't be here for this.
That's where we take chain saws and we cut open
Houser Lake and soaking it. It's a fun time. It's
fun time. See, if you can do thirteen minutes, give
it a shot. Just make sure that you have someone
there to get you out of the water if you
do the thirteen because that's a hard crawl. I'm here
to tell you. So I'm going to be down in
Mexico and my family's going with me. I gotta get
down to renew healthcare. Now I'm toying with something. See
these stem cells that they get from umbilical cords are
They're so good at this. They do everything that can't
be done in America starting with donor stem cells. They
know the people from whom they get the umbilical cords.
They monitor the health of the mother and the baby
during pregnancy, and afterwards they pay for the birth that's
illegal appear. This allows them to reject eighty to ninety
percent of the stem cells because they're not potent enough,
or they show signs that they couldn't be safe, so
they only accept the very best stem cells. That's not
possible here. They don't do that here. I'm not using
donor stem cells. You don't even know where they're coming from.
Then they culture the very best stem cells that are
safe and pure and potent and powerful, so they create
more of them. That's illegal, appear. I'm toying with the
idea of getting something aesthetic done, not because I'm worried
about how I look. I'm not. I mean, there's no
way I'm going to walk around looking good looking because
I'm not a good looking person. But I could get
hair replacement. Did you know that instead of having those
plugs in there? Stem cells can actually bring your scalp
back to life, your hair follicles back to life. They
can because that's what they do. They're building cells. They
destroy inflammation. Or maybe I'll just get my ears. My
ears are super wrinkly because I'm getting old, so maybe
I'll get my earshot. Maybe I get my wrinkles gone.
I don't want to do that. Honestly, I like my wrinkles.
I think they add character. I think my wife likes
my wrinkles. That it would be a way for me
to show you how this works. I will have a
follow up on my back. I'll get a follow up
MRI so you can see the difference it's made on
my back. And it's not just things like backs and joints,
et cetera. It's also neurological issues. People who've had traumatic
brain injuries have incredible results with this ED. People have
had incredible results, and it rebuilds that air of your
body rather than putting it a pump or putting drugs
into your body. So go check them out. It's renew
r e n u E dout Healthcare, renew dult Healthcare.
And I'm gonna be there in mid December. I'd love
to see you there. Renew r E n you E
DULT Healthcare. Tell them you're part of the Todd Herman
Shaw family. So it's healthcare, except it's not. President Trump
is the Pfizer President, Donald Pfizer Trump. Trump wouldn't got
the so called COVID vaccine and flu shot for whatever
insane reason. The COVID shot he got in his body.
If he truly took that shot. If I was his
staff or his family, I'd say, do not let him
get the shot. As the guy who he's my president,
I'm praying. I'm praying they gave him a Salian solution
or one of the less dangerous bashes. I am praying that.
And the flu shot is not as harmful by far
as the Pviser shot. But President Trump decided to do this,
and the shot this formulation. It was designed to work
on a I don't know how many other generations to
go with COVID. There's no capability to work on the
current generation of COVID. But this is the same President
Donald P. Trump who took a criminal cartel into the
White House to celebrate them, now making even more Mr
and A shots.
Speaker 2: We are ready.
Speaker 1: Look at our k Junior and background President our friend
seventy billion dollars in the next few years from Pizer.
Look how far out of frame is Look at it
and look at his face. RKA Junior.
Speaker 8: Hello, I really think this is an historical moment because
also I can put that behind us and focus on
the things that I want to spend my time concert treatments,
to bring better obesity medicines, to bring better vaccines, to
bring things that people value.
Speaker 1: Good, Give us our money back from the COVID shots. Good,
give us our COVID shots back, money back, give us
that back. Get us all the double blinds, get us
all the polacebo studies. Pay us back for everybody you harmed.
And President Trumps standing there nodding for more MR and A.
The peace deal is I pray to God it lasts.
I'm so sick of seeing people un alive in the
Middle East. I'm so sick of seeing children hurting. I'm
so sick of it. I can't imagine how God feels
about it, you know, Jesus weeps. The prosperity I want
that so much for a country. I have a daughter.
I don't want her to own nothing and be forced
to be happy with that. I want the prosperity back.
I like the fact that President Trump has a relationship
to people, all these peas, But the harm that is
possibly going to be done by the continuing generations of
MR and A is incalculable. The harm that's already been
done by the MR ANDAs in my judgment, is incalculable.
I want it to be Donald pce Trump. I fear
is Donald Pfizer Trump. Story number three. Clabbering Jesus the
sexual Left's newest tactic. So this is really interesting if
you understand the sexual left and how they have trained
people to think about the Bible, they talk about something
called or things called clobber passages. And the idea here
is that there's portions of the Bible that evangelical Christians
use simply to clabber same sex attracted and defiant gender
denine people. So the clobber passages used to be strictly
from Paul where Paul talked about I tell you that
thieves and idolaters and adulterers and homosexuals have no place
in the Kingdom of Heaven. It's a strong abmonition. And
so that was a Klabber passage. It's only useful to
clab or same sex attracted people. Now, God made man
in his image male and female. He made us. This
is a new Klabber passage. And the way they'll say
this is, yeah, but he made intersex people too, So
it's inaccurate and it's a lie, and it's used to
clabber gender denying gender defined people because of course sex
is on a spectrum. These are the same people who
ignore the fact that, yes, sometimes people are born with
four instead of five fingers, sometimes they're born with six.
I had a friend who had a tail, truly had
a friend of mine named Waco had a tail. He
is a vertebra extended beyond his back and like two
vertebras sticking out above above his a you area back there.
I don't know if I forgot that taken off. We
just to ask him, and apparently there was some risk
to that that he was safe for having the tail.
That doesn't mean that humans have tails. It means that
he did. And it doesn't mean that humans have five
fingers and that hands are on a spectrum. It means
that sometimes there are genetic mistakes because we're a fallen species,
because we chose to go our way instead of gods.
That wasn't the way things were designed to be. They're
designed to be perfection. So now genesis is a clobber passage.
So what the left has done, the sexual left is
they've now created passages with which they intend to clawber Jesus.
This is a brilliant tactic. Please understand that so much
what the sexual left does is an in verse gospel.
When kids fall for gender ideology, they're born in a
new body, they're now a new creation. They're even told
to put their old selfs through a funeral of source
and to burn old pictures of themselves to burn. And
the way the gender jackers express it is burn the
old kids underwear the dead kids underwear, burn the dead
kid's picture. Because you're a new being. Now you're reborn,
and people who won't recognize that you're reborn, they're choosing
to worship the now unalived self. That's how they put this.
All of it's in verse. So one of the current
Klauber passages is that they're trying to clob her Jesus
with is the Seraphadgian woman, and this is the woman
who asks Jesus for a blessing, and Jesus says, it's
effectively what he's saying is this is for Israel first,
and she says, well, even the dogs eat the scrap
from the master's table, scraps on the master's table. And
Jesus recognizes her faith and blesses her. And so the
way they're using this to clowber Jesus is to say
that Jesus thinks she's a dog. He calls her dog.
He doesn't. He's using nomenclature in fact, from the Old Testament,
the Master's Table. He's using that nomenclature. And here's what
we're to believe. Okay, So here's what we're to believe
from a perspective of people who are trying to clobber Jesus.
Jesus Christ, looking that woman in the eye, knows he
is going to the cross for her and other people.
He knows he, as part of the eternal Godhead, made
her in his image. He knows that she is part
of his masterpiece. Humankind is God's masterpiece. He knows this.
He knew her before birth as part of the God,
had counted every hair on her head, has plans for her,
and loves her so much that in a little while
he's going to submit to earthly authority even though he
doesn't have to, and go through insane torture for her.
And he thinks she's a dog. See, none of it
can square. None of the Jesus clabbering passages can share,
because the sexual left cannot clabber Jesus. So let's look
at another one. And in this case they're actually clobbering
Jesus to say that Jesus Christ, the king of the
universe alpha Omega, part of the eternal Godhead, has no
idea who he is. I'll show you this in a second.
Speaker 3: Look.
Speaker 1: Our bodies are made in the image of God. That's true.
And there's that whole phrase cleanliness is next to God.
That's true as well. So let me ask this question.
If you're cleaning your body with the soap made in
communist China, made probably by slave labor, tested on the
hair of wigers who are in captivity because they're wigers
against their will, made with chemicals and horrible chemicals, some
chemicals they probably don't even tell you about, made by
companies that fund DEI and abortion and all sorts of
leftist causes you don't agree with. You're cleansing your body,
but are you cleansing your soul? Allan Soaps is the
exact opposite of this. It's a very small company. The
soap is made right here in America by a family
that they've got their facility. They do this for three generations.
They've been doing it consequence of this is the soap
is all not sure. There are no chemicals in it.
All the fragrances are unique because they come from the
mind of Allen, who's fourteen. He's been through eighteen operations.
He's non verbal, he's profoundly high up on the autism spectrums,
very difficult time for him to move, and he's a
joyous warrior. I know he has his moments. He's a
joyoush warrior. His brother Ian, also impacted by autism, works
there from time to time. We've been able to hire
other people to work there. Right now, it's a time
of really difficult transition at Alan's because John, the patriarch
of the family, has been told that he's going to
the Lord. He knows where he's going, he's not afraid,
but he's training his wife to take over the company.
So when you buy from Alan Soaps, you are in
fact cleansing your body, which can also be something you
can have conscience, a piece of conscience, peace of mind,
and you're supporting a company that knows all lives matter,
and it's the world's best soap. It's Alan Soaps dot com.
Slash Todd, that's Alan Soaps dot com slash todd. So
this is a so called preacher, an episcopal and this
this fake preacher's name is Bridget Dwyer, a postulant for
the dia Conte of Saint George's Maplewoods. And it appears
that this might and I don't mean to freak this
might well be a man pretending to be a woman.
I just I don't want to freak you out that
here's a new way that they're trying to clabber Jesus.
Speaker 9: And see is hard. Jesus in the gospel reading we
heard this evening, is struggling with how he's being perceived.
He can feel that it's somehow not right, so he
asks those closest to him.
Speaker 1: And he's not wrong.
Speaker 7: The Jesus we see.
Speaker 9: In this gospel passage is very vulnerable.
Speaker 8: I can almost hear his.
Speaker 9: Voice shaking when he asks his friends, but who do
you say that I am? This Jesus, even this matheian Jesus,
whose characterization is set up to maximize his connection to kingship,
needs the validation of his friends because he didn't get
it from the people. Imagine instead, who do the people
say that the Son of the people is or who
do the people say their son is. Take a second
to imagine what it would feel like to ask that
question and then to hear that your family got the
answer wrong. So Jesus does what so many of us
do when we're let down by those we consider family.
We turn to our found family instead.
Speaker 1: But who do you say that I am?
Speaker 9: This is not a test, This is a friend asking
for reassurance, for reassurance.
Speaker 1: So let's make sure we understand what the fake pastor
is saying. And it's this, He who has always existed
as part of the try and God had He through
whom everything was made, and for whom everything was made,
He who invented identity, He who spoke the world into existence,
He who counted every hair on every human head, He
who is Knowledge is the Way, is the truth, is
the life, is the is the definition. Is the designer
of DNA and the human genome, and the stratosphere and
the solar system, and all the movements of the planets,
of all sounds that come out of our mouths, of
all musical notes, of everything, everything that we observe, a
science that we explained with math. That person, who do
you say, Jesus asked who do the people say I am?
They say you're Elijah or Moses, one of the prophets.
And he said, but who do you say I am?
And Peter said, you're the Messiah, the son of the
Living God, the one who is to come. And Jesus said,
it was not me that revealed this to you, but
my Father, who's in heaven. And upon that confession, Peter
he called them Peter. Now no longer was he is
given name. He called him Peter the Rock. It's upon
this rock that I will build my church, and the
gates of Hades will not prevail against it my church.
He knew who he was. He knew he was bringing
the Kingdom of Heaven. He knew his role. He understood
his relationship to the Father and the triune Godhead. As
he was fully human and fully God. He had absolutely
no confusion about who he was at all. Was it
a moment of vulnerability, okay, because maybe they wouldn't have known,
Maybe no one would have confessed, except he's also the
God of the universe. He knew at that time that
Peter would confess. The confession was for the other apostles
to understand, this is who you are walking with Jesus
knew exactly who he was. He knows exactly who he is,
and he knows this. That person is a false teacher.
That person is coming very close to blaspheming the Holy Spirit,
and that is an unforgivable sin. Praise God. I don't
make that decision, Jesus does. That's one of the clobber
passages they're using to try to clobber Jesus. This is
the Todd Hermann Show. Please go, be well, be strong,
be kind, and please make every effort to walk in
the light of Christ.
