1 00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:03,000 Speaker 1: Welcome to the Three Stories version of The Todd Hermer Show. 2 00:00:03,120 --> 00:00:06,919 Story number one Jake Tapper in a sea of white 3 00:00:07,559 --> 00:00:11,919 see pretty clever. Story number two up, can Christian Zionists 4 00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:16,280 even question Israel? And Story number three spiritual but not 5 00:00:16,399 --> 00:00:20,399 religious means lazy, not curious. We'll talk about this all 6 00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:21,760 with the help of God Almighty. 7 00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:26,960 Speaker 2: The Todd Herman Show is one hundred percent disapproved by 8 00:00:27,039 --> 00:00:34,320 big pharma technocrats and tyrne s everywhere from the high 9 00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:43,119 mountains of Free American. Here's the Emerald City exime Todd Herman. 10 00:00:46,719 --> 00:00:49,439 Speaker 1: Today is the day the Lord has made in. These 11 00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:52,320 are the times to which God has decided we shall live. 12 00:00:53,719 --> 00:00:57,600 Jake Tapper found himself in a sea of white. Jake 13 00:00:57,679 --> 00:01:01,039 Tapper did it to himself again. Did this at a 14 00:01:01,079 --> 00:01:03,640 time that Jake Tapper could have availed himself of this 15 00:01:03,719 --> 00:01:07,840 thing called what's that? Well, Alex, you might have to 16 00:01:07,879 --> 00:01:11,400 start again. It's at social media site that Elon Musk donebot. 17 00:01:11,799 --> 00:01:17,040 It's the Twitter they called it X. So Jake Tapper 18 00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:19,799 could have just been, you know, on his phone and 19 00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:21,920 while he's doing his show, or they could have had 20 00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:25,840 a screen up from Twitter dash x. Because people on 21 00:01:25,879 --> 00:01:29,599 Twitter dash X were doing this looking and saying, oh, 22 00:01:29,719 --> 00:01:32,680 there's the guy now accused of doing the pipe bombing. 23 00:01:32,719 --> 00:01:34,840 And by the way, lots of questions about this, as 24 00:01:34,879 --> 00:01:37,879 there always are, whorre and intelligence services are involved. Here's 25 00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:41,400 Jake Tapper though, going on CNN while this picture was circulating. 26 00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:45,719 Speaker 3: Attack Brian Cole Jr. A thirty year old white man from. 27 00:01:45,599 --> 00:01:50,040 Speaker 1: The But can we start it again from the very 28 00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:51,799 tip top. By the way, the person who put this 29 00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:54,799 together is making fun of a trend that's going on 30 00:01:54,879 --> 00:01:59,439 in the in the country where people are booked into 31 00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:03,920 jail being explained to be white when they are very 32 00:02:03,959 --> 00:02:07,599 clearly black or anything but white. And it's all very purposeful. 33 00:02:07,599 --> 00:02:11,120 It's about skewing the crime statistics. So here again a 34 00:02:11,199 --> 00:02:12,800 Jake Tapper will let him get through his whole very 35 00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:13,520 important report. 36 00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:13,719 Speaker 2: Here. 37 00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:17,879 Speaker 3: Capital attack Brian Cole Junior, a thirty year old white 38 00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:21,240 man from the DC suburbs, is charged with transporting an 39 00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:26,599 explosive device in interstate commerce and with malicious destruction by 40 00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:29,319 means of explosions. Seeing an observed local and federal law 41 00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:32,759 enforcement outside his home in Woodbridge, Virginia this morning. 42 00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:37,639 Speaker 1: Now, maybe Jake was just assuming because Woodbridge equals white, 43 00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:40,319 which would make Jake a racist. Of course, it'd also 44 00:02:40,319 --> 00:02:44,599 make Jake's producers lazy and incompetent, being that that picture 45 00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:47,039 was circulating at the time that Jake made this report. 46 00:02:47,319 --> 00:02:50,000 But he lives in a sea of white. Now, there's 47 00:02:50,039 --> 00:02:52,360 a lot of questions about this. To me, a lot 48 00:02:52,439 --> 00:02:55,240 of questions about this guy and this guy actually the 49 00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:57,400 one who did it, And we'll ask those questions in 50 00:02:57,520 --> 00:02:59,879 just a second, because I think they're a pretty important question. 51 00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:03,840 There's an important question for you, which is was your 52 00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:08,800 retirement account designed for AI? I mean, not for AI 53 00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:11,879 to run, but was it designed for AI, which is 54 00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:15,719 going to eat sixty percent of jobs? Was it designed 55 00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:19,479 for tariffs that may or may not exist, given what 56 00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:22,520 the Supreme Court may or may not do. Was it 57 00:03:22,599 --> 00:03:26,080 designed for a country we know that had at least 58 00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:30,400 one state ship a billion dollars to Somalia in fraud, 59 00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:33,360 and there are twenty nine leftist states here. Could that 60 00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:35,919 be twenty nine billion dollars or more in fraud? We 61 00:03:36,039 --> 00:03:40,439 know that we've been funding Mexico with payments from people 62 00:03:40,439 --> 00:03:44,080 here illgally being sent home. Was your retirement account designed 63 00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:48,560 for that and for cryptocurrencies. I think not. It's time 64 00:03:48,599 --> 00:03:51,680 for a review. My friend Zach Cabraham, chief investment Officer 65 00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:55,759 Bulwark Capital Management, will give you three free conversations in video, 66 00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:57,919 on person, on the phone, whatever you want, You, you 67 00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:00,400 and your spouse, whatever the case may be.

Track twenty five Dash three three eight. 88 00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:02,160 There is is this about this guy, Brian Cole who 89 00:05:02,199 --> 00:05:04,279 is not a white man Jake Tapper. According to the 90 00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:07,279 grandmother of suspected J six pipe bomber Brian Cole Junior, 91 00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:10,879 he's a simple minded man, autistic like thirty year old 92 00:05:10,879 --> 00:05:13,600 who lived with his parents. He would wear shorts all 93 00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:16,079 under long, no matter how cold it was. He would 94 00:05:16,079 --> 00:05:19,279 be outside in the shorts walking. He would wear red crocks. 95 00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:23,360 One longtime neighbor recalled Brian Cold's father is Brian Cole Senior. 96 00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:25,800 As noted by The Daily Wire, Brian Cole Junior worked 97 00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:27,879 for a bail bond's company run by his father that 98 00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:30,920 worked to free illegal immigrants from ice facilities, ensue the 99 00:05:30,959 --> 00:05:34,959 Trump administration's Department of Homeland Security. Weeks before thirty year 100 00:05:34,959 --> 00:05:37,800 old Cole Junior allegedly planted pipe bombs at the headquarters 101 00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:40,839 of the Democrat and Republican National parties. On jan five, 102 00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:43,279 twenty twenty one, or court ruled against the company a 103 00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:48,040 lawsuit attacking the Trump administration on immigration issues. Benjamin Crump 104 00:05:48,399 --> 00:05:50,600 is a well known to this audience. And by the way, 105 00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:53,800 this is from the website that wrote this and it's 106 00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:56,319 the last refuse dot com you've seen this laf reesuge 107 00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:59,680 dot com regiment. Crump is well known to this audience 108 00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:02,360 as the lawyer who represented the family of Trayvon Martin 109 00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:06,040 and the lawyer who fabricated a fake witness against George Zimmerman. 110 00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:09,639 Unrelated to the assistant DA Benjamin Crump has a history 111 00:06:09,639 --> 00:06:13,160 of manufacturing false witnesses based on racial cases. In the 112 00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:15,720 Florida case, ben Crump worked with Pam Bondi to advance 113 00:06:15,759 --> 00:06:18,839 the false witness claims Rachel ghent Till sold as Trayvon 114 00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:22,600 Martin's girlfriend an ear witness. She was neither as Florida 115 00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:25,839 ag pambonnie knew Rachel Gentell was a false witness, but 116 00:06:25,879 --> 00:06:28,920 supported her friend Benjamin Crump and selling that story. Now, 117 00:06:28,959 --> 00:06:32,279 the legal representation of Crump appears in the DC Pipe 118 00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:36,680 Barmber story, having represented the father of the accused. Racial 119 00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:41,519 lawfare practices lots of questions here. If he's really mentally simple, 120 00:06:41,759 --> 00:06:44,120 is that why the pipe bombs didn't go off? I mean, 121 00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:47,439 autistic people could be very focused at times. His mother 122 00:06:47,519 --> 00:06:51,160 said he wasn't political a bit. She just told Fox 123 00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:53,160 News He's not one side or the other. He's not 124 00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:56,360 political a bit. Seems to me like the perfect sort 125 00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:58,399 of young man to go out and cause to do 126 00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:01,639 something like this, maybe not understanding the ramifications of this, 127 00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:05,000 and the FBI, of course had this information for years, 128 00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:08,600 just simply decided to not act upon it as they 129 00:07:08,639 --> 00:07:11,319 were going down and hunting down eighty year old men 130 00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:14,040 from Harlem who happened to walk through the capitol peacefully, 131 00:07:14,279 --> 00:07:16,800 bothering no one and later frog marching them out of 132 00:07:16,839 --> 00:07:19,839 their homes. So Jake Tapper comes around with the but 133 00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:22,879 he's white story and later forced to retract that now 134 00:07:22,959 --> 00:07:26,680 white is not a defense, nor should black be a defense, 135 00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:30,720 but black can be a defense. This comes from Portland, Oregon, 136 00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:33,040 by way of the Daily Mail UK. Of course, the 137 00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:36,439 American media is slow to report on this. A Portland 138 00:07:36,519 --> 00:07:41,120 jury has cleared a man of assault, and this is assault. 139 00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:42,879 He stabbed a man. You can see a picture of 140 00:07:42,879 --> 00:07:46,079 this year. The guy who's been stabbed. Is the white 141 00:07:46,079 --> 00:07:48,040 man the guy who did the stabbing. And if you 142 00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:49,759 look at the picture you can see the knife in 143 00:07:49,839 --> 00:07:53,279 his hands or one of his hands. He did the 144 00:07:53,319 --> 00:07:55,680 stabbing of the white guy. Now, this is Portland's this 145 00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:58,199 stuff happens all the time. It's a city that has 146 00:07:58,279 --> 00:08:02,759 massive violence problems, massive drug problems, and gang problems. So 147 00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:05,879 the white guy gets stabs and perhaps in frustration, or 148 00:08:05,879 --> 00:08:09,160 perhaps he's just guy who speaks this way, he called 149 00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:14,000 his assaulter the N word. Because of that, the jury 150 00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:18,480 let the staberr off. The guy who cut a man 151 00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:21,439 who stabbed him and could have killed him will face 152 00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:25,240 no jail time, no prison time, because after he was 153 00:08:25,319 --> 00:08:28,920 stabbed the guy used the N word. I don't use 154 00:08:28,959 --> 00:08:30,759 the N word. I think it's a foul word. I 155 00:08:30,759 --> 00:08:32,159 don't want it in my mouth. I don't want it 156 00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:35,840 in my mind. It is not a reason to let 157 00:08:35,879 --> 00:08:38,960 someone off for hitting a guy with a knife that 158 00:08:39,039 --> 00:08:41,600 you could have killed him with. Maybe Jake Tapper could 159 00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:43,679 come around and reverse the races. Maybe then it would 160 00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:48,759 all make sense to Jake. Second story in Today's three stories, 161 00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:52,720 can Christian Zionists even question Israel? 162 00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:53,399 Speaker 2: Now? 163 00:08:53,399 --> 00:08:55,279 Speaker 1: I have a challenge for you, someone come to me 164 00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:59,919 and give me a non AI, non web reseearch state 165 00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:02,279 about what it means to be a Christian Zionist. I've 166 00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:05,159 yet to hear two people answer this the same way. 167 00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:08,200 And this is a conversation, of course, because Charlie Kirk 168 00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:10,639 had said before he was murdered that he felt that 169 00:09:11,039 --> 00:09:16,240 Israel was about to perform an Essex cleinting a genocide 170 00:09:16,279 --> 00:09:19,320 against people in Gaza, and there are many people who 171 00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:21,639 believe that Charlie Kirk was killed because of that view. 172 00:09:21,879 --> 00:09:24,320 I haven't seen the evidence of that. I know people 173 00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:26,679 who are very smart people who do believe they've seen 174 00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:28,919 the evidence of that. I just don't yet concur I've 175 00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:32,399 not seen the evidence. So the topic of Christian Zionism 176 00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:34,799 became something that people want to talk about. So again, 177 00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:37,720 get to me at the Todd hermannshaw dot com comment 178 00:09:37,799 --> 00:09:40,320 sections wherever you're watching and are listening to this, and 179 00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:42,879 you tell me, without going to AI or Google, what 180 00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:46,720 is a Christian Zionist. I have this question, if people 181 00:09:46,759 --> 00:09:50,960 are Christian Zionists, can they even question Israel? I asked 182 00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:54,559 this really because I saw a Jewish Zionist. Someone said 183 00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:57,320 she's a Jewish Zionist. Someone again, come to me, tell 184 00:09:57,360 --> 00:10:00,320 me what Zionist means. I get the idea of being 185 00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:03,360 a Jewish supremacist or a white supremacist. I get all 186 00:10:03,399 --> 00:10:05,679 those ideas. I need to know what Zionist means. I 187 00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:07,639 need someone to give me the Cojin explanation for this. 188 00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:11,279 She made a statement about Jesus that I could find 189 00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:14,840 offensive if I wanted to, if I wanted to be 190 00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:18,240 offended by it. Now it's heretical. It mocks God. In 191 00:10:18,279 --> 00:10:20,720 my mind, God may well be offended by it. He's 192 00:10:20,759 --> 00:10:22,759 not going to be mocked. But I'll let you make 193 00:10:22,799 --> 00:10:25,519 your decision here in just a second. It's a brave 194 00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:27,159 thing to go out and speak truth. It really is. 195 00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:29,200 We had an opportunity to talk with a film director 196 00:10:29,279 --> 00:10:33,639 named Jenner first last week. Jenner directed a film called 197 00:10:33,639 --> 00:10:37,039 Thank You, Doctor Fauci. They began digging into the Cordian 198 00:10:37,159 --> 00:10:39,679 that the origins of the COVID flu, and they've come 199 00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:42,320 away believing that we're in a bio arms race with 200 00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:45,679 the Chinese Communist Party, and that both of our countries 201 00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:49,399 are being played by double agents who are acting as scientists, 202 00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:52,759 and they are Peter Dashik and Ralph Barrack. The film 203 00:10:52,799 --> 00:10:56,360 contends that these guys are probably double agents, spying on 204 00:10:56,519 --> 00:10:59,240 us for the Chinese Communist Party and spying on the 205 00:10:59,279 --> 00:11:02,360 Chinese Commonist Party for us. There are also people with 206 00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:06,279 huge sway within the technocratic medical class, and they're the 207 00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:09,039 sort of people who've hung around Fauci's whole career. Did 208 00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:11,559 you know that many the same people involved in Fauci's 209 00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:14,679 mishandling of AIDS, And that's to say the least mishandling, 210 00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:18,159 we're also involved in the mishandling of COVID. And again 211 00:11:18,919 --> 00:11:21,440 that's to say the least. I have no good things 212 00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:24,080 to say about doctor Fauci, and the film doesn't either. 213 00:11:24,519 --> 00:11:27,639 It's called Thank You, Doctor Fauci.

It's Angel dot com 219 00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:45,120 slash Herman. So this is a woman named Melanie Phillips. 220 00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:48,320 She is at a pro Israel conference and here she 221 00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:52,000 is effectively mocking the Messiah, Jesus Christ. Of course, she 222 00:11:52,039 --> 00:11:53,240 doesn't believe he's the Messiah. 223 00:11:53,279 --> 00:11:56,600 Speaker 4: We are seeing an alliance, an unholy alliance, between the 224 00:11:56,679 --> 00:12:01,759 Left and the Islamists, an alliance which has turned language 225 00:12:01,799 --> 00:12:07,120 and thought in itself inside out to produce an image 226 00:12:07,159 --> 00:12:11,919 of demonic Jewish control over the world. It is as 227 00:12:11,919 --> 00:12:16,000 if we are living through a posthumous victory of both 228 00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:22,159 Stalin and Hitler. Why has this happened? There are many reasons. Complicated. 229 00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:25,919 Holocaust guilt by the West is part of it, the 230 00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:30,639 idea that they can never again have the reality of 231 00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:33,799 the Jew as victim. They have to cast the Jew 232 00:12:33,919 --> 00:12:38,360 instead as the victim isa to escape their own historic guilt, 233 00:12:38,799 --> 00:12:42,639 not just for the Holocaust, but for centuries of Jewish persecution. 234 00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:47,240 We have the rise of identity politics based on the 235 00:12:47,279 --> 00:12:50,759 hatred of the Western nation state, the hatred of Western 236 00:12:50,799 --> 00:12:56,480 culture itself, which has produced for decades and onslaught by 237 00:12:56,559 --> 00:13:01,559 Western intellectual elites on the West's core values. And the 238 00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:05,240 onslaught on the West's core values has meant an onslaught 239 00:13:05,279 --> 00:13:09,000 on Judaism because it is Judaism. Although Christianity is of 240 00:13:09,039 --> 00:13:15,399 course the infrastructure upon which the West is based. But 241 00:13:15,519 --> 00:13:19,639 Christianity didn't come from nowhere. One could say Christianity was 242 00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:26,039 a Jewish sect that got slightly out of hand. The 243 00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:29,360 values that everybody in the West holds, dear, secular or religious, 244 00:13:29,799 --> 00:13:33,840 are fundamentally Jewish values. And we're very shy of saying that. 245 00:13:34,799 --> 00:13:37,960 Speaker 1: Not that shy since you just said it. 246 00:13:39,639 --> 00:13:40,480 Speaker 2: So on. 247 00:13:40,639 --> 00:13:47,240 Speaker 1: Earned salvation is a Jewish value. No Judaism is a 248 00:13:47,639 --> 00:13:56,159 works for salvation idea. It's a Jewish value that we 249 00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:58,600 are living now in the Church age, in the Age 250 00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:03,840 of Christ. Now know that is a Christian value. Turning 251 00:14:03,879 --> 00:14:07,279 the other cheek is a Christian value. As you treat 252 00:14:07,279 --> 00:14:08,879 the least of these, so you treat me as a 253 00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:13,000 Christian value. Now there's great value in the Old Testament. Clearly, 254 00:14:13,039 --> 00:14:16,200 it's the Bible of Jesus. Read and Jesus loved my 255 00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:18,639 question for Christian Zionists, and again, come and tell me 256 00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:22,159 what it means. What I understand it means is this 257 00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:25,919 is that many people view Christian Zionism as the idea 258 00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:30,720 that all Jewish people will be saved, period, and that 259 00:14:30,759 --> 00:14:32,360 means that they don't have to turn to Christ. That 260 00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:34,759 can't be true. Jesus Christ said I Am the Way, 261 00:14:34,799 --> 00:14:38,279 the Truth, and the life. And if you believe that 262 00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:40,240 all Jews are going to be saved, then you don't 263 00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:42,519 believe that Jesus Christ is the Way, the Truth, and 264 00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:44,279 the life. You have to believe that they have to 265 00:14:44,279 --> 00:14:47,799 come to Jesus first. A lot of people are Christian 266 00:14:47,879 --> 00:14:50,200 Zionists because they believe the state of Israel must be 267 00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:53,960 protected because that's where Jesus is going to touch down. Okay, 268 00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:56,480 fair enough, Jesus said, he touched down there. I went 269 00:14:56,519 --> 00:14:58,919 to got Questions dot Org and asked a very simple question, 270 00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:03,159 where will Jesus return? And they write this, what will 271 00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:07,159 Jesus do when it returns? Elsewhere in scripture we find 272 00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:09,879 other clues as to where Jesus will return. The first 273 00:15:09,919 --> 00:15:12,200 piece of business for Jesus upon his turn, will returned 274 00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:15,799 to deal with those assemble to defeat Israel. Zacharaiah fourteen 275 00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:17,759 to two tells us, I will gather all nations to 276 00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:20,720 Jerusalem to fight against it. The city will be captured, 277 00:15:20,799 --> 00:15:24,879 the houses ransacked. Revelations sixteen, fourteen and sixteen tells us 278 00:15:24,919 --> 00:15:27,720 that the battle on the Great Day of God Almighty 279 00:15:27,919 --> 00:15:31,120 will be in a place that in Hebrew is called Armageddon. 280 00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:34,039 The exact location of Armageddon's unclear, as there's no single 281 00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:39,279 mountain called Mejidio. However, interpretation of the term leads to 282 00:15:39,279 --> 00:15:41,799 the hill, most likely the hill country surrounding the plains 283 00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:46,799 of ParvE Megido, which is about sixty miles north of Jerusalem. 284 00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:50,320 As as soon as Jesus returns to Earth, he sets 285 00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:52,960 out to defeat the Confederation of Nations, seeking to eliminate 286 00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:56,360 his blood Israel. As mentioned in Zachari fourteen, the reason 287 00:15:56,399 --> 00:15:58,240 that God draws them together in one place is so 288 00:15:58,279 --> 00:16:01,080 he can battle them all at once, a strategy any 289 00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:04,360 commanding officer would appreciate. The quote battle isn't much of 290 00:16:04,399 --> 00:16:07,799 a struggle, as Revelation nineteen twenty one describes the enemies 291 00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:10,000 of God being killed with the sword coming out of 292 00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:12,360 the mouth of the writer on the horse. Jesus wins 293 00:16:12,399 --> 00:16:15,639 the victory by simply speaking, game, set match. So where 294 00:16:15,679 --> 00:16:19,519 exactly will Jesus stand after his monumental victory over the 295 00:16:19,559 --> 00:16:23,159 attacking nations. Jesus will stand on a specific location. Zachari 296 00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:25,799 have fourteen forest dates. On that day, his feet will 297 00:16:25,799 --> 00:16:28,519 stand on the Mount of Olives, east of Jerusalem, at 298 00:16:28,519 --> 00:16:30,840 the Mount of Olives will be split in two from 299 00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:33,399 east to west, forming a great valley, with half of 300 00:16:33,399 --> 00:16:36,000 the mountain moving north and half moving south. The mount 301 00:16:36,039 --> 00:16:38,279 of Olives is a fitting place for Jesus to return. 302 00:16:38,639 --> 00:16:40,440 Not only will he be standing in the very amount 303 00:16:40,519 --> 00:16:43,720 where he preached the Olivet discourse to disciples, but that 304 00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:46,679 is also the place where he ascended into heaven after 305 00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:51,679 his resurrections and Acts one, verses one through ten. So 306 00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:55,360 he's going to return there that set. He's going to 307 00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:59,080 defeat Satan in his armies. That set, he's going to 308 00:16:59,159 --> 00:17:02,200 land in Israel that set. So does this mean that 309 00:17:02,279 --> 00:17:05,799 people who are Christian sidists cannot question the government of Israel. 310 00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:10,799 God himself has questioned the government of Israel. God has 311 00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:13,599 churned from the government of Israel. God has turned Israel 312 00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:17,240 over to its enemies many many times. Read the Old Testament. 313 00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:21,480 Of course, we can question the government of Israel. It's 314 00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:26,079 not Israel. It's a series of politicians and powerholders. That's 315 00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:29,559 not Israel. America is not Donald Trump, unless you believe 316 00:17:29,559 --> 00:17:32,960 it is, in which case we've got some serious, serious problems. 317 00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:36,039 The Bible is very clear in a number of things. 318 00:17:36,079 --> 00:17:38,880 In this defense or this position of Christians ideis and 319 00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:41,880 that all Jews will be saved. I can't see that 320 00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:45,680 that's true. In Romans, chapter eleven, verses twenty five through 321 00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:47,480 twenty six, we read, I do not want you to 322 00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:50,720 be ignorant of this mystery. Israel has experience, are hardening 323 00:17:50,759 --> 00:17:53,200 in part until the full number of Gentiles has come in. 324 00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:55,759 And in this way all Israel will be saved. And 325 00:17:55,880 --> 00:18:00,880 in this way, okay, that's Paul right in Romans. And 326 00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:05,200 in this way, here's what Zachariah, a known prophet, said. 327 00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:09,200 Zachariah thirteen, verses eight through nine, in the whole Land 328 00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:12,640 declares the Lord, two thirds shall be cut off and perish, 329 00:18:13,079 --> 00:18:15,559 and one third shall be left alive. And I will 330 00:18:15,599 --> 00:18:18,359 put this third into the fire and refine them as 331 00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:21,319 one refined silver. They will call upon my name, and 332 00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:24,400 I will answer them. A third of the living Jewish 333 00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:26,880 people would be about what a million people or less. 334 00:18:28,799 --> 00:18:32,720 If all Jews are saved without going through Christ Jesus, 335 00:18:33,319 --> 00:18:35,319 that would mean that Jesus said, I am the Way, 336 00:18:35,359 --> 00:18:39,559 the Truth, and the life for everybody except Jews who 337 00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:42,599 do not need to accept ME as savior to enter 338 00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:45,720 the kingdom. That doesn't make any sense, because on Earth, 339 00:18:45,839 --> 00:18:51,920 during his three year ministry, Jesus Christ decried the Pharisees 340 00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:56,480 for not being able to see who he was and is. 341 00:18:57,480 --> 00:19:00,440 So can you be a Christian Zionist and question the 342 00:19:00,559 --> 00:19:04,279 Israeli government? Is it going to be this government that 343 00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:07,519 make sure that Israel still exists? Does God need our 344 00:19:07,519 --> 00:19:11,960 help in this? Is he impotent without us? This is 345 00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:13,519 not to say we should turn our back on the 346 00:19:13,599 --> 00:19:15,960 Jewish people. It's to say that we should not turn 347 00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:18,440 our back on calling out a government that is in 348 00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:22,359 fact corrupt. And this Israeli government is right now corrupt 349 00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:26,559 because bet and Benjamin Netanyahu is a corrupt politician, and 350 00:19:26,599 --> 00:19:29,400 we should be okay calling that out. After all, Christ 351 00:19:29,559 --> 00:19:33,039 himself warned us to not lord our power over others. 352 00:19:34,039 --> 00:19:38,359 Story number three Spiritual but not religious means lazy but 353 00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:41,839 not curious. If you've seen this, you've probably heard this. 354 00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:44,359 People tell you, well, like, you know, I'm spiritual, but 355 00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:46,920 I'm not religious, or have had people say this to 356 00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:49,559 it to me? You know, I am very spiritual. I 357 00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:52,000 mean I'm not in the organized religion. I'm not religious 358 00:19:52,039 --> 00:19:54,960 at all, but i am very spiritual. Now a lot 359 00:19:55,039 --> 00:19:57,200 of people will mean that that to mean that they're 360 00:19:57,240 --> 00:20:01,039 open minded or they're curious, they're not ready to commit. 361 00:20:01,599 --> 00:20:04,240 What it means to me is you're lazy. Because there's 362 00:20:04,279 --> 00:20:07,000 been a lot of research on this, a whole bunch 363 00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:09,200 of it. And there's also some quick thinking you can 364 00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:12,640 do if you want to be, you know, lightly intellectual, curious, 365 00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:15,359 or apply a little bit of rigor because there's a 366 00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:19,039 war on for your soul. And if you're spiritual, so Satan, 367 00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:23,680 Satan is really spiritual. He's a spirit, his minions are spirits. 368 00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:26,720 So if you're spiritual, you're just like him. And he 369 00:20:26,759 --> 00:20:30,039 also believes in God. He's not agnostic, he actually knows 370 00:20:30,079 --> 00:20:34,559 who God is. In Timothy tewod Timothy, chapter three, verses 371 00:20:34,599 --> 00:20:37,960 five through seven, read this, having a form of Godliness 372 00:20:38,039 --> 00:20:40,400 but denying his power, have nothing to do with such people. 373 00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:42,440 He's talking about people who have a form of Godliness 374 00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:44,920 but deny his power. Have nothing to do with such people. 375 00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:47,400 They're the kind who worm their way into homes and 376 00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:50,279 gain control over global women who are loaded down with 377 00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:52,680 sins and are swayed by all kinds of evil desires, 378 00:20:53,079 --> 00:20:56,160 always learning, but neighbored, never able to come to knowledge 379 00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:59,279 of the truth. Always learning me. And I know people 380 00:20:59,319 --> 00:21:01,720 who are spiritual people who one week they're wearing runes. 381 00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:03,960 I remember, back in the day when I was dabbling 382 00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:07,519 an agnosticism, I were runes. I didn't care what they meant. 383 00:21:07,519 --> 00:21:09,119 I just thought they looked cool. Bought them at a 384 00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:12,480 spiritual bookstore, you know, one of the New age bookstores, 385 00:21:12,519 --> 00:21:14,559 and they had some fascinating books there. They had some 386 00:21:14,599 --> 00:21:16,559 cool art there, and I bought some of it. Worred around, 387 00:21:16,559 --> 00:21:17,839 and one day someone said, do you know what that 388 00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:21,160 ruine means? I realized I didn't, and I was worried 389 00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:23,720 around my neck. That was a little creepy. I had 390 00:21:23,759 --> 00:21:25,440 no business wearing that around my neck. There are people 391 00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:28,480 who go involve themselves in religious ceremonies they don't know 392 00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:31,759 what they mean. I know this is very controversy among people. 393 00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:33,880 I know it can be very, very hurtful to people. 394 00:21:34,319 --> 00:21:36,319 I know friends who sometimes want to pray over me 395 00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:39,400 in tongues. I love them, I trust them, but I 396 00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:42,720 cannot accept a prayer if I myself do not understand it. 397 00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:45,200 That's just me. I need to be able to understand 398 00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:48,759 these things. But then again, I am religious. I follow 399 00:21:49,279 --> 00:21:51,799 a very defined God, defined in the Bible that if 400 00:21:51,839 --> 00:21:53,880 you're spiritual not religious, please don't come and say you're 401 00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:56,759 open minded. Please don't come and see you're curious. You're not, 402 00:21:56,839 --> 00:21:59,000 You're lazy. I'll make that point in just a second. 403 00:22:00,039 --> 00:22:02,200 Christmas time for me is about the birth of Christ Jesus. 404 00:22:02,279 --> 00:22:04,039 It doesn't mean that we don't have fun from time 405 00:22:04,079 --> 00:22:07,720 to time with the secular Santa.

So being spiritual but not religious, 438 00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:42,519 this guy has his own way of getting to God's. 439 00:23:42,599 --> 00:23:43,400 He says, it's this. 440 00:23:43,759 --> 00:23:46,000 Speaker 5: If you really want to know what God is, if 441 00:23:46,039 --> 00:23:48,319 you want to have a connection to God, the best 442 00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:51,000 thing I could say is to sit in silence, sit 443 00:23:51,079 --> 00:23:54,640 by yourself, allow your thoughts to row and search within you. 444 00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:59,240 That's where I found the higher self, the higher awareness, 445 00:23:59,319 --> 00:24:02,319 the higher gods. And what I would say is God. 446 00:24:02,519 --> 00:24:05,279 I actrually believe that even us them the word God, 447 00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:08,839 are saying him all these things, we're taking them power 448 00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:13,640 from something that is beyond anything that we can fathom 449 00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:16,960 in this existence. It's something outside of this is something 450 00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:19,759 that is guiding our entire life. 451 00:24:19,759 --> 00:24:22,279 Speaker 1: Foods right, So we're gonna use our brain to reach 452 00:24:22,319 --> 00:24:27,720 infinite power. Cool our finite brains and reach infinite power. 453 00:24:28,039 --> 00:24:32,720 That's amazing. So by searching in ourselves, our infinite brains, 454 00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:36,519 we're going to solve all of the world's great mysteries 455 00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:39,720 by our very own selves, just the same way we 456 00:24:39,799 --> 00:24:45,039 created ourselves. I mean, you created yourself right, simple process. 457 00:24:45,039 --> 00:24:49,440 You're an unmoved mover who creates yourself. Now, we cannot 458 00:24:49,519 --> 00:24:53,839 ourselves answer all the world's questions, the universe's questions. We 459 00:24:53,880 --> 00:24:56,559 can't save ourselves. We can't create ourselves. We can't create 460 00:24:56,559 --> 00:25:00,599 an owner's matter for ourselves. We can change ourselves, we 461 00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:04,640 can better ourselves, but we cannot deny that we with 462 00:25:04,759 --> 00:25:08,200 finite minds cannot be the infinite. Even if we join together, 463 00:25:08,279 --> 00:25:11,039 we cannot be the infinite. AI cannot be the infinite. 464 00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:14,319 How was you ever stumped? AI? I get a kick 465 00:25:14,319 --> 00:25:16,039 out of sumthing AI. It's not that hard to do. 466 00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:19,319 You just have to ask very specific questions. That's one view. 467 00:25:19,799 --> 00:25:23,240 Here's another view of spiritual but not religious. This is 468 00:25:23,319 --> 00:25:25,559 a different take. I think that. 469 00:25:25,759 --> 00:25:29,359 Speaker 6: Folks that are saying we're spiritual not religious are basically 470 00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:34,960 attempting to somehow hold on to a reality that religion 471 00:25:35,839 --> 00:25:37,799 has said. You tell me what you believe, and I'll 472 00:25:37,839 --> 00:25:41,160 tell you if you belong right that we have. We 473 00:25:41,319 --> 00:25:46,880 hold all the religious experiences, and you can have them 474 00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:49,559 and understand them, but you have to believe these things. 475 00:25:50,279 --> 00:25:51,079 Speaker 1: And I think what the. 476 00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:55,920 Speaker 6: Spiritual but not religious are saying, and I think it 477 00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:59,000 has to do with the fact of Pentecost, that if 478 00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:01,839 the Holy Spirit has been out on all flesh across 479 00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:05,119 the earth indiscriminately, like your sermon a couple of weeks 480 00:26:05,119 --> 00:26:09,319 ago about the sower just indiscriminately the Holy spirits out there. 481 00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:14,519 It makes sense to me that people would resist an 482 00:26:14,559 --> 00:26:20,920 institution that requires a loyalty test before they can understand 483 00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:24,920 the experience they have. But if Augustine's right, our hearts 484 00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:29,079 are restless. We're longing for an encounter with divine presence 485 00:26:30,359 --> 00:26:34,079 and that that supersede. That's what it means to be human. 486 00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:37,319 Speaker 1: That's a super open minded view of the Holy Spirit. 487 00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:40,359 It's not a true one. The Holy Spirit was not 488 00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:44,200 poured out upon all. It was those who accepted Christ 489 00:26:44,319 --> 00:26:48,039 Jesus specifically, the apostles at that point were given the 490 00:26:48,039 --> 00:26:50,240 gift of the Holy Spirit and then able to pass 491 00:26:50,319 --> 00:26:53,839 the Holy Spirit on to people who accepted Christ. Now, 492 00:26:53,839 --> 00:26:57,000 this is attempting to walk the line between spirituality and religion, 493 00:26:57,039 --> 00:26:58,880 and there's a couple of memes that get this. One. 494 00:26:59,039 --> 00:27:03,359 This is the religion versus spirituality. Religion worships God. Spirituality 495 00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:08,519 encourages one this with God. Okay, one this with God? 496 00:27:09,079 --> 00:27:13,319 Which one? You need religion to know what God you're 497 00:27:13,359 --> 00:27:17,759 talking about? Onenes with something you don't think God defined 498 00:27:17,839 --> 00:27:20,319 himself will prove that in just a second that God 499 00:27:20,319 --> 00:27:24,839 defined himself. Religion, God is outside you. Spirituality God is 500 00:27:24,839 --> 00:27:25,200 within you. 501 00:27:25,799 --> 00:27:26,119 Speaker 2: Well. 502 00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:29,119 Speaker 1: Again, from a Christian perspective, the Kingdom of Heaven is 503 00:27:29,160 --> 00:27:33,880 within us when we accept the Holy Spirit and God. God, 504 00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:38,319 the triune god Head has always existed, always will exist. Therefore, 505 00:27:38,319 --> 00:27:41,680 he's innately outside of us, able to be inside of 506 00:27:41,759 --> 00:27:45,319 us if we accept him. But again, this contends that 507 00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:49,799 God didn't define himself. Religion separates people who have different beliefs. 508 00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:53,880 Spirituality unites people regardless of the beliefs, right right, the 509 00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:58,519 same way Pantheists are united with Satanists and Buddhists with Satanists. 510 00:27:58,519 --> 00:28:01,200 They're all united, right, don't They all believe the same thing. 511 00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:03,960 Now that falls apart when we even scratch at the 512 00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:07,119 surface of it. Religion teaches people to be afraid of hell. 513 00:28:07,559 --> 00:28:11,119 Spirituality teaches people to create heaven on earth. Oh cool, So, 514 00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:14,279 the way we created ourselves and earth, we can create 515 00:28:14,319 --> 00:28:17,480 heaven on earth. Since we created all of earth and 516 00:28:17,599 --> 00:28:19,839 all the things here, we can create heaven on earth. 517 00:28:20,079 --> 00:28:22,400 Heaven being defined as a place where you live forever. 518 00:28:22,839 --> 00:28:25,759 Got it. We can't create life without gods. We can't 519 00:28:25,759 --> 00:28:28,319 create ourselves. We didn't create the world, but we can 520 00:28:28,359 --> 00:28:31,599 create heaven on earth. That's cool, neat trick Bro. Religion 521 00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:35,680 based on fear and restriction. Spirituality based on love and freedom. Right, 522 00:28:36,319 --> 00:28:39,880 So love and freedom in a spiritual sense. Oh, say, 523 00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:43,200 like one of the many spiritual cults where you're told 524 00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:44,759 that you can't speak to mom and dad if they 525 00:28:44,799 --> 00:28:47,400 will not join the cult. Yeah, that's spiritualism. There's never 526 00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:50,960 any restriction or fear in there. Religion feels like being 527 00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:53,799 a single drop in the ocean. Spirituality feels like the 528 00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:57,119 entire ocean and a single drop. That's funny. Just the 529 00:28:57,160 --> 00:28:58,880 other night, we were out eating with some friends and 530 00:28:58,880 --> 00:29:01,359 I said that wine feet like it's gonna choke me. 531 00:29:01,359 --> 00:29:03,480 It can't stand it. They said, no, wine feels good. 532 00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:08,680 Oh feelings cool, cool feelings Bro. Religion based on others' experience. 533 00:29:09,119 --> 00:29:12,880 Spirituality based on your own experience. Oh, neat. That's like 534 00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:16,160 people who've never meant a Trump supporter, but they can 535 00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:19,599 describe Trump supporters because they know folks who knows Trump supporters. 536 00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:24,559 Or it's the old Seinfeld thing, thee cohorts. Kramer always 537 00:29:24,599 --> 00:29:26,279 had a guy who knew a guy who could bring 538 00:29:26,279 --> 00:29:29,359 a guy to a situation to help you know. Seven 539 00:29:29,519 --> 00:29:33,480 segments of separation. Got it. That's a neat trick. Being 540 00:29:33,599 --> 00:29:37,279 spiritual not religious, is being lazy, is not being curious. 541 00:29:38,160 --> 00:29:44,319 God defines himself in order. The world's in order. The 542 00:29:44,359 --> 00:29:47,359 species are easy to see that they're separated, spec some 543 00:29:47,720 --> 00:29:58,039 species phylum order. God uses language. DNA is language. It's readable, writeable, reproducible, shareable, falsifiable. 544 00:29:58,599 --> 00:30:02,960 It's language. It's ordered. The planets are in order. The 545 00:30:03,240 --> 00:30:07,720 amount of carbon, dioxides and other gases in our atmosphere. 546 00:30:07,759 --> 00:30:12,000 Oxygen is regulated to our benefit. The water is to 547 00:30:12,039 --> 00:30:15,680 our benefit. Sea water and our blood is very similar 548 00:30:15,680 --> 00:30:19,839 in terms of compositional factors. He's a god of order, 549 00:30:20,039 --> 00:30:23,599 not chaos. He defines himself with order day versus night. 550 00:30:24,519 --> 00:30:26,759 We don't have multiple gods. How do we know that? 551 00:30:26,759 --> 00:30:28,599 Because there are not parts of the world where there's 552 00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:31,119 no gravity. Because some god might think it's cool to 553 00:30:31,160 --> 00:30:32,839 have no gravity. After all, he's a god. He got 554 00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:34,480 to do what he wants. There's no place like that. 555 00:30:35,279 --> 00:30:37,400 There's no place where animals have wheels, as cool as 556 00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:40,440 that would be. Frank Albaum had some characters that had wheels, 557 00:30:40,640 --> 00:30:42,519 they didn't have legs. That'd be cool, but that doesn't 558 00:30:42,519 --> 00:30:47,000 exist here. Therefore, we have this predictable structure. God has 559 00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:52,440 defined himself with structure. He's also defined himself through the 560 00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:55,279 Bible in ways of checking all spirits. So you want 561 00:30:55,279 --> 00:30:59,480 to be spiritual, cool, let's be spiritual. In Galatians chapter 562 00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:02,119 five Versus twenty three to twenty three, we read, but 563 00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:05,680 the fruit of the spirit is love, joy, peace, for 564 00:31:05,799 --> 00:31:09,960 Baron's kindness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self control. Against such things, 565 00:31:09,960 --> 00:31:13,839 there is no law fantastic. So the fruits of the 566 00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:20,039 flesh then are anger, discord, disagreements, pride, et cetera. We 567 00:31:20,119 --> 00:31:24,680 can check these spirits pride. Oh, I don't need God. 568 00:31:25,160 --> 00:31:28,960 I got him within me. I don't need God. I'm spiritual. 569 00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:32,160 I don't need to look at the most studied book, 570 00:31:32,279 --> 00:31:35,960 the most critique book, the most criticized book in history, 571 00:31:36,279 --> 00:31:39,200 the Bible that every year is the most is is 572 00:31:39,240 --> 00:31:41,640 the best selling book every year. I don't need to 573 00:31:41,680 --> 00:31:44,000 look at that because I'm spiritual. I don't need a 574 00:31:44,039 --> 00:31:47,279 construct After all, God doesn't need a Oh, he does 575 00:31:47,400 --> 00:31:51,680 need constructs for us. He made die unite for us, 576 00:31:51,720 --> 00:31:54,920 He made sky and see for us. He didn't need it. 577 00:31:55,200 --> 00:31:57,160 We needed the structure, so he made it for us. 578 00:31:58,200 --> 00:32:02,599 John chapter five Verses nineteenth twenty. Jesus gave them this answer. 579 00:32:02,759 --> 00:32:04,799 Very truly. I tell you, the son can do nothing 580 00:32:04,839 --> 00:32:07,359 by himself. He can only do what he sees his 581 00:32:07,359 --> 00:32:11,279 father doing. Because whatever the father sees, the son also does. 582 00:32:11,599 --> 00:32:13,640 For the father loves the son and shows him all 583 00:32:13,680 --> 00:32:16,400 he does. Yes, and he will show even greater works 584 00:32:16,440 --> 00:32:19,759 than these, so that you will be amazed. So a 585 00:32:19,799 --> 00:32:22,920 guy who raised people from the dead in front of witnesses, 586 00:32:23,839 --> 00:32:27,319 who cured people from things like leprosy, in front of witnesses, 587 00:32:28,119 --> 00:32:32,279 who predicted his death on the cross, who predicted he 588 00:32:32,279 --> 00:32:35,440 would overcome it and rise again, who did overcome it 589 00:32:35,480 --> 00:32:38,799 and rise again, who took his followers from scared people 590 00:32:38,920 --> 00:32:43,279 hiding away from the tectocratic religious authorities, scared to death 591 00:32:43,359 --> 00:32:47,400 in the upper room, shaking with fear. After they met Jesus, 592 00:32:47,400 --> 00:32:50,480 became some of the bravest people in the world. They 593 00:32:50,480 --> 00:32:56,039 were martyred for speaking truth. They were told weeks after 594 00:32:56,119 --> 00:32:58,640 Christ ascended, you have to stop speaking about this Jesus, 595 00:32:58,640 --> 00:33:03,200 and they absolutely refuse. They were all martyred save John, 596 00:33:03,359 --> 00:33:06,559 and they couldn't quite get John killed, even by bowling 597 00:33:06,640 --> 00:33:09,440 of an oil. They couldn't get it done. If you 598 00:33:09,559 --> 00:33:12,119 say you're spiritual but not religious, that means that you 599 00:33:12,240 --> 00:33:15,640 choose not to look at the biggest body of historical 600 00:33:15,680 --> 00:33:19,519 evidence ever put together about the existence of one human being, 601 00:33:19,559 --> 00:33:22,279 an ancient human being, someone that none of us has 602 00:33:22,279 --> 00:33:25,759 met in person, Christ Jesus, more evidence that he existed 603 00:33:25,799 --> 00:33:30,160 than the utility Hunt existed. We have more exteporaneous examples 604 00:33:30,160 --> 00:33:32,440 and people writing about this during the time of Christ, 605 00:33:32,799 --> 00:33:35,960 people who were anathetical to Christ writing about it. If 606 00:33:35,960 --> 00:33:38,200 you're spiritual but not religious, it means that you're just 607 00:33:38,279 --> 00:33:41,000 too stinking lazy to pick up a Bible and study 608 00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:44,440 it and ask questions. So enjoy your spirituality, because, as 609 00:33:44,480 --> 00:33:48,160 I've already said, Satan man ask him, dude is very spiritual. 610 00:33:48,880 --> 00:33:51,720 This is the Todd Hermanshaw. Please go, be well, be strong, 611 00:33:51,839 --> 00:33:54,640 be kind, and please make every effort to walk in 612 00:33:54,640 --> 00:33:55,480 the light of Christ.
