Speaker 1: You're listening to KFI A six on demand. Jack, Welcome
Speaker 1: to Jesus Christ Show.
Speaker 2: Hello, good morning, Hi there so far, first time listener
Speaker 2: to this radio program. It was referred to me during
Speaker 2: a few of the podcast Los Angeles and tuning in
Speaker 2: and so far, like in two things that I've heard
Speaker 2: that I've been able to connect to you. One is
Speaker 2: kind of the outside perimeter of what the church has
Speaker 2: looked like versus the inside activity and behaviors when they're
Speaker 2: leaving there and away from there. And I'm finding myself
Speaker 2: in a really good relationship at one point that had
Speaker 2: just some very deep friendship and a very long laughing
Speaker 2: life with a pregnancy. Even though unmarried and in a
Speaker 2: religious difference, there was still a very common ground there.
Speaker 2: And now that it's getting closer to first, just kind
Speaker 2: of wondering maybe an approach to have a religious and
Speaker 2: non religious parents for weekend activity or daily activity with
Speaker 2: church versus maybe working on a project at the house.
Speaker 2: Both kind of have the same ending and meaning in life.
Speaker 2: But I don't want to push my ground and I
Speaker 2: don't think the other thing that she would want to
Speaker 2: for sure stan making somebody do this than that, So sure.
Speaker 1: This becomes difficult. So I'm assuming you're the one that's not.
Speaker 2: I grew up in a very religious background. I understand
Speaker 2: a lot of the you know, just a lot of
Speaker 2: Christianity that around it. My mom and family are still
Speaker 2: very involved in the church at a very advanced level,
Speaker 2: and so that part of it I get. And I
Speaker 2: see them do it more as an individual versus a group.
Speaker 2: And when I go into the group setting, maybe I
Speaker 2: don't get. I just don't get out of it. I
Speaker 2: do as an individual.
Speaker 1: Okay, what what?
Speaker 3: What?
Speaker 1: Why do you think that is? Do you like any
Speaker 1: other group activities?
Speaker 2: There's just uh, you know, work activities and old personal
Speaker 2: hobbies that I like to do with a golf group
Speaker 2: or a tennis group, or just even a project hobby
Speaker 2: with some friends and their kids, making little burthouses or
Speaker 2: something on the weekend. It just.
Speaker 4: Like working with your hands, apparently. But why do you
Speaker 4: think it's different when you're in a church.
Speaker 2: Maybe because I see a lot, I hear all the
Speaker 2: great ways of life, but I don't see it.
Speaker 1: Okay, Well, think of it this way.
Speaker 4: If you're in a garage and they're going to talk
Speaker 4: about all the you know, great types of cars, and
Speaker 4: how wonderful cars are everything, But every car in that
Speaker 4: garage is being worked, so you're not going to see
Speaker 4: the cars really souped up.
Speaker 1: Necessarily until they leave.
Speaker 2: So okay, So.
Speaker 4: It's kind of maybe expectations are part of the problem there.
Speaker 4: And what what the function of the church is. I
Speaker 4: think perception is very important. And when you go in
Speaker 4: thinking it's going to be one thing, yeah, it churches
Speaker 4: is a turn off many times. Anyways, it just is
Speaker 4: it's a really hard concept to swallow when you've got
Speaker 4: some imperfect guy or gal standing from the pulpit preaching
Speaker 4: or teaching something, and all you can think and all
Speaker 4: people do is kind of reflect off of this person
Speaker 4: and say, ah, either they've got issues, or this person
Speaker 4: next to me has issues and I'm not like that,
Speaker 4: or this just seems phonny up here comes the hat again.
Speaker 4: Now I gotta throw more money in here, and they're
Speaker 4: gonna tell me twenty minutes as to why I need
Speaker 4: to put money in here, and all that. I get
Speaker 4: that there's a lot of the crust of the experience
Speaker 4: that isn't so wonderful. However, you get through that, there's
Speaker 4: a lot of things that have that experience that you
Speaker 4: blow through to get to the good. Whether it's going
Speaker 4: out to eat, whether it's going to an amusement park,
Speaker 4: whether I mean you could go ah the parking or
Speaker 4: all the lines, whether but you get through it because
Speaker 4: there's a benefit or a payoff there, and I would
Speaker 4: hate for you to miss the benefit of the payoff
Speaker 4: just because of the.
Speaker 1: The barnacles of the experience.
Speaker 2: I see the benefit of what we're doing with our kid,
Speaker 2: and I just want to make sure that there's a
Speaker 2: neutral approach to it and from just myself to respect
Speaker 2: that because maybe I don't go, or I wouldn't go
Speaker 2: every every Sunday, Like now I'm starting to see this
Speaker 2: happening versus it never was a part of the relationship
Speaker 2: and now maybe so I still want to respect that,
Speaker 2: but at the same time, I want to just kind
Speaker 2: of keep my individual approach to it on a on
Speaker 2: a Sunday afternoon and do something. I just want to
Speaker 2: make sure that that's still good and should that be
Speaker 2: respected from the religious side too, to see that what
Speaker 2: I'm doing has same impact with our child as going
Speaker 2: to church every Sunday. Well, there's nothing from the religious
Speaker 2: sides of the.
Speaker 4: Sure, Yeah, there's all kinds of ways. Don't don't get
Speaker 4: stuck into just the building with your pretty windows. That's
Speaker 4: not the point. It's not just about that structure.
Speaker 1: There. There's more to it. Now.
Speaker 4: I don't like hearing the term neutral when it comes
Speaker 4: to raising the child. When you have to find neutral
Speaker 4: ground in this sense, it.
Speaker 1: Really is neutral.
Speaker 4: Is is like in a car, since we're on car
Speaker 4: analogies for some reason today, it's not You're not going
Speaker 4: to move forward or backward really unless the you're on
Speaker 4: a hill or something like that. And I don't think
Speaker 4: it's fair to the child when you get to a
Speaker 4: place where you really are wishy washy on things to
Speaker 4: try and make everybody happy. I think you make a decision,
Speaker 4: the two of you as parents on how you're going
Speaker 4: to raise this kid, and if if you're going to
Speaker 4: raise them without God, then rais the without God. If
Speaker 4: you're going to raise them with God, raise them with God.
Speaker 4: But a kind of neutral, weird kind of I'd rather
Speaker 4: be home but building, you know, a birdhouse, than actually
Speaker 4: working on his spiritual life or or the life or
Speaker 4: the child.
Speaker 2: Yes, no, yeah, yeah, you're right. The kid will be
Speaker 2: raised with God. And I'm fine with that. I just
Speaker 2: would think that on the mandating Christian side that there
Speaker 2: would be a respect for maybe just let's go somewhere
Speaker 2: for a family for a day and not no breakfast, no,
Speaker 2: and race off to a religious group. Maybe we can
Speaker 2: have a day of independence with the family with the
Speaker 2: same godly meaning.
Speaker 4: Yes, it's possible. I hear it in your voice. You
Speaker 4: want to do everything you can to stay out of
Speaker 4: that church. I understand that.
Speaker 2: Well, because I see a church on the beach. I
Speaker 2: see a group of fifty guts two people on the beach,
Speaker 2: and I think that's a great spiritual way to go
Speaker 2: learn about God.
Speaker 4: It absolutely can, it absolutely can. But don't fall into
Speaker 4: the sphere. No, that's not a You can worship God
Speaker 4: any way you see fit. You really can, and there
Speaker 4: is a lot of leeway in scripture as to how
Speaker 4: you worship, even which day you worship and all of
Speaker 4: those things. However, it's like anything else, why are you
Speaker 4: doing it? And if you can really ask yourself that
Speaker 4: question honestly and answer it honestly, then you'll find you
Speaker 4: know as to what you're looking for. If you're just
Speaker 4: looking for a church that's like less structured and that
Speaker 4: doesn't have a lot of the you know, the stuff
Speaker 4: you don't like. Fine, But if you're looking for a
Speaker 4: church that you don't participate in, that you don't actually
Speaker 4: give money to, that you don't be a part of
Speaker 4: in the sense of being part of the community, then
Speaker 4: it's not a church. It's a group of people kind
Speaker 4: of coming together. Maybe at best it's a Bible study.
Speaker 4: And that's a different experience, just like you living on
Speaker 4: it in a neighborhood is different than you living in
Speaker 4: a house that's next to other houses. If you're not
Speaker 4: participating with your neighbors, you're not connecting with them. They
Speaker 4: don't know who you are, you don't know who they are.
Speaker 4: That's not a neighborhood. It's a house next to other houses. Okay,
Speaker 4: So if you if you want to engage.
Speaker 2: A very there's a very good family here, and there
Speaker 2: is a great neighborhood and it's a great upbringing for
Speaker 2: the kid, and we both want the same things for
Speaker 2: this kid.
Speaker 1: But you understand the analogy.
Speaker 2: No, I understand the analogy.
Speaker 4: Okay, because if you don't get lost in just a
Speaker 4: go somewhere that seems spiritual. Because I find that people
Speaker 4: that really want to get away from so called organized religion,
Speaker 4: just don't want the accountability. And if that's the case,
Speaker 4: then it misses, it brushes past everything of value in
Speaker 4: the church.
Speaker 2: Well that's where i'm a little bit of because I'm
Speaker 2: finding myself maybe making a mistake and then holding myself
Speaker 2: accountable for it. But on on the other side of it,
Speaker 2: I'm seeing her and she's a many mistakes but not
Speaker 2: making that attempt. And I'm just kind of on a
Speaker 2: very patient ground right now.
Speaker 4: It's tough, isn't it when you not when you don't
Speaker 4: see eye to eye spiritually, it's really tough to have
Speaker 4: a child. You can ever without a child, everything's peachy keen,
Speaker 4: but the minute you put a child into the equation,
Speaker 4: it changes everything. And nobody listens to me when I tell.
Speaker 2: Them that, no, it's it's a thing. It wasn't It
Speaker 2: was never an issue in our relationship. It was very
Speaker 2: well respected.
Speaker 1: And but now you're gambling with your child.
Speaker 2: Yeah, now it's just different, and the religion thing isn't
Speaker 2: really so much of the issue. Well it is, but
Speaker 2: at the same time, there's the accountability of just being
Speaker 2: honest and the friends that we were in the relationship
Speaker 2: when we find ourselves in mistake mode, and that's where
Speaker 2: I'm just you'll find it.
Speaker 4: Well, there's just more at stake right now, Jack, And
Speaker 4: in that process, you're gonna everyone's going to be holding
Speaker 4: onto their own You're a smart guy, and you're an
Speaker 4: honest guy.
Speaker 1: You're going to find the right thing.
Speaker 4: Just be balanced and be aware of why you're doing
Speaker 4: what you're doing and why you're not doing what you
Speaker 4: don't want to do, and be honest with yourself first
Speaker 4: and then with each other.
Speaker 1: Alfonso, Welcome to the Jesus Christ Show.
Speaker 3: Good morning.
Speaker 1: Hello.
Speaker 3: I just want to start with saying I'm a loyal
Speaker 3: listener and I really love your show every weekend.
Speaker 1: Oh, thank you so much. I appreciate it absolutely.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 3: I've been curious about something and I and I wanted
Speaker 3: to call and ask about the significance of the head coverings.
Speaker 3: Uh sometimes uh uh you know some religions where the
Speaker 3: where the you know, the women cover their heads and
Speaker 3: they they they don't and or or some other religions
Speaker 3: where they where they were the the Yamica, and and
Speaker 3: then in occasions they don't. And and I've seen h
Speaker 3: you know, other the bishops on a TV interview he
Speaker 3: had a read one on and you know, I just
Speaker 3: kind of I was, you know, very curious about that,
Speaker 3: and I knew you were the perfect one to call
Speaker 3: and ask, well.
Speaker 4: I appreciate that the head coverings, and we'll focus on
Speaker 4: Christianity just because that's the purpose of the program. But
Speaker 4: to broaden it, they all kind of go back to
Speaker 4: the same place. It's a sign of respect. It's a
Speaker 4: sign of respect and humility before God. So as far
Speaker 4: as if you read First Corinthians eleven and you went
Speaker 4: through it, I know a lot of people will read
Speaker 4: this and go, oh my gosh, that's you know, the
Speaker 4: women have to wear head coverings. This is obviously to
Speaker 4: make women lesser. No, no, it's actually quite beautiful. And
Speaker 4: if you read on, it's not about an equality thing,
Speaker 4: but about a structure thing and an importance to show
Speaker 4: that there that the people of God.
Speaker 1: Were submissive towards God.
Speaker 4: And really a lot of things that were done early
Speaker 4: on were done to separate our Jewish brothers and sisters,
Speaker 4: and therefore early Christians from looking like pagans. The pagan
Speaker 4: prostitutes would shave their heads and things like that. So
Speaker 4: Christian women early in the early Christian Church would wear
Speaker 4: head coverings to separate themselves from looking like the prostitutes.
Speaker 4: That's kind of focus on what the base of it is.
Speaker 4: Always about respect, always about giving glory to God and humility. Linda,
Speaker 4: Welcome to the Jesus Christ Show. Hi there, how many
Speaker 4: I help you?
Speaker 5: Okay?
Speaker 6: So basically my question is okay, So basically my question
Speaker 6: is I don't understand how you're supposed to. I guess
Speaker 6: interpret the Bible or read it basically, like you know,
Speaker 6: because I've heard a lot of it has to do
Speaker 6: with symbolism, Like a lot of the stories and a
Speaker 6: lot of the verses and stuff are symbolized. And basically
Speaker 6: my question is, are you supposed to read the Bible
Speaker 6: at space value or just to take it at face
Speaker 6: value and interpret every single word exactly for what it says,
Speaker 6: or are you supposed to symbolize everything?
Speaker 2: Well?
Speaker 4: No, in the if you made everything a symbol, it
Speaker 4: really doesn't mean anything. It takes the weight of the
Speaker 4: entirety of the weight out of scripture. I'll tell you
Speaker 4: it's quite easy, really, And here's a good trick for
Speaker 4: you to use should you want to study scripture. Scripture
Speaker 4: is very clear about explaining when something's a dream. It's
Speaker 4: very clear when something's a story. Every time that I
Speaker 4: tell a story, I start by saying, I'm going to
Speaker 4: tell you a story, or here's a parable. If if
Speaker 4: that's not being done, then the assumption it would be
Speaker 4: correct to assume that it's to be taken literally. Now,
Speaker 4: not everything in the Bible is true. It's just true
Speaker 4: that it was said and therefore put in the Bible.
Speaker 4: So for instance, if the devil himself said there is
Speaker 4: no God, but he was saying it on the Mount
Speaker 4: of Olives or something in front of people or next
Speaker 4: to me, for instance, he's standing next to Christ and
Speaker 4: he says it, it might get in scripture, but it
Speaker 4: doesn't mean that it's true. So not everything is prescriptive
Speaker 4: or prescribed, and it's important to see that. Sometimes scripture
Speaker 4: is just describing something that took place, and this took
Speaker 4: place and you should know about it, and the verse versus,
Speaker 4: like the Ten Commandments are prescriptive saying you should do
Speaker 4: these things or you should not do these things, and
Speaker 4: that they're two different ways. So there's many important parts
Speaker 4: of scripture, and any work of antiquity quite honestly. For instance,
Speaker 4: if you looked at Shakespeare, Shakespeare talks about some things
Speaker 4: that are true, some things that took place, but it's
Speaker 4: all fiction. It's all written as theater, but doesn't mean
Speaker 4: he didn't use real characters and things like that. Now,
Speaker 4: in scripture, it's a historic account from the eyes of
Speaker 4: many of what went on in certain times and then
Speaker 4: put together because of the fact that they have similar
Speaker 4: content and a similar conclusion and similar purpose. But to
Speaker 4: take something literal when Christ himself says and here is
Speaker 4: a parable would be silly. But it'd be equally as
Speaker 4: silly to make something where he doesn't say, this as
Speaker 4: a story and it's not a parable, and to take
Speaker 4: that and make it just, well, I'm gonna interpret interpret
Speaker 4: it as a story because that's not the way it's said.
Speaker 4: So in that in those context, it's important to understand
Speaker 4: what is being said and why it's being said, and
Speaker 4: what the seating of the discussion is. In scripture, you
Speaker 4: read before it, you read after it, and you get
Speaker 4: a feel for it. And in doing that, I think
Speaker 4: you get a better idea of what scripture is. It's like,
Speaker 4: not just should it be interpreted literally or symbolically. That's
Speaker 4: not fair. That doesn't make any sense. Not everything in
Speaker 4: it is literal, maybe literal that they said it, or
Speaker 4: maybe literal that it was written down, but it's it's
Speaker 4: not literal when I when I say in scripture it
Speaker 4: is easier to get a camel through the eye of
Speaker 4: a needle than it is to get a rich man
Speaker 4: into heaven. That's absurdity, that's just that's trying to be
Speaker 4: that's actually being sarcastic. You can't get a camel through
Speaker 4: the eye of a needle.
Speaker 1: And there are many.
Speaker 4: Who have believed, Oh, well, those are gates at the
Speaker 4: front of the city that were very small and when
Speaker 4: they shut the big gates later at night, if you
Speaker 4: had if you were traveling and had to come in,
Speaker 4: you had to come by way these small gates they
Speaker 4: called the eye of the needle. None of that has
Speaker 4: been confirmed, even though I've seen it in encyclopedia as before,
Speaker 4: and they've been wrong. So it really was trying to
Speaker 4: fit a camel through the eye of a needle, which
Speaker 4: is impossible. Yet you know, it's not impossible to get
Speaker 4: a rich person into heaven, So that wasn't being literal.
Speaker 1: The illustration was that.
Speaker 4: It's it's quite difficult because people end up worshiping money
Speaker 4: and end up focusing on that and losing sight of
Speaker 4: the things that are important and real in their lives.
Speaker 4: So scripture, yes, and many parts should be taken literally.
Speaker 4: When it says thou shalt not murder, it means thou
Speaker 4: shold I'll not take the life of the innocent.
Speaker 1: Period.
Speaker 4: It's not a story or anything like that, thankfully, because
Speaker 4: those Ten Commandments were pretty much built into the very
Speaker 4: laws that you enjoy in these United States. So having
Speaker 4: an understanding of those things and knowing when it's different
Speaker 4: in scripture is important when it's just describing something. It's
Speaker 4: important to know that when it's prescribing something you should
Speaker 4: do this or you should not do that. That's important,
Speaker 4: and know where it falls into context and what is
Speaker 4: trying to be said. But absolutely it is in there,
Speaker 4: and there's no reason to take it and entirely symbolically
Speaker 4: because that doesn't make sense either. And there's also times
Speaker 4: that I confirm things that I would talk about them too,
Speaker 4: not saying, hey, you remember that story, but go into
Speaker 4: it as if it was history that was taught, whether
Speaker 4: it be Adam and Eve or things like that, and
Speaker 4: they get they got prominence as well. Sharon, Welcome to
Speaker 4: the Jesus Christ Show.
Speaker 5: Thank you.
Speaker 1: How can I help you?
Speaker 5: My neighbor and I were having a discussion. My husband
Speaker 5: died forty four years ago. Her husband died four years ago. Yes,
Speaker 5: we both were holding their hands. One day.
Speaker 3: Left us.
Speaker 5: I watched my husband for seven hours while watched his eyes,
Speaker 5: I watched his mouth, everything to see if I because
Speaker 5: I knew he was leaving and I wanted to see
Speaker 5: if there was something different going to happen. It didn't.
Speaker 5: So neither one of us and probably millions more would
Speaker 5: like to know when when the life goes out of
Speaker 5: the person, does their soul go to heaven? And when
Speaker 5: the Bible says that at the end God will raise
Speaker 5: everyone up if their souls are already in heaven, does
Speaker 5: that mean He's going to raise their their bodies out
Speaker 5: of those.
Speaker 3: Out of that coffin.
Speaker 4: Well, there's I would like to focus on on the
Speaker 4: heaven part, because it's most important to somebody who has
Speaker 4: passed and put and point towards some of those things.
Speaker 1: But there's no need for the body as a vessel.
Speaker 1: It's ashes, dashes, dust, to dust. That's a carrier.
Speaker 4: And so the focus should be on what scripture says
Speaker 4: about the passing of someone. And in Hebrews Hebrews, chapter nine,
Speaker 4: verse twenty seven, it says, and inasmuch as it is
Speaker 4: appointed for man to die once and after this comes judgment,
Speaker 4: very very simple.
Speaker 3: Well.
Speaker 4: Second Corinthians five eight also says to be absent from
Speaker 4: the body is to be present with the Lord. So yes,
Speaker 4: to the god fearing person, to the believer, there with God.
Speaker 5: They immediately go with God.
Speaker 1: That's good, Yeah, I would think so I would tend
Speaker 1: to agree.
Speaker 5: That's good.
Speaker 1: Sounds like a great yeah.
Speaker 4: No need to stop, no need to get Anderson's pea soup,
Speaker 4: no need to go on a long drive anywhere, get gas,
Speaker 4: get snacks.
Speaker 1: Nothing.
Speaker 5: And I want to know my husband's and I mean
Speaker 5: his soul is him?
Speaker 7: Oh absolutely, and he is with God's.
Speaker 5: That's all I care about.
Speaker 4: What a beautiful statement. In Second Corinthians five eight, to
Speaker 4: be absent from the body is to be present with
Speaker 4: the Lord.
Speaker 5: Okay, you've answer my question.
Speaker 1: Excellent, Well then you go in peace. You are very
Speaker 1: very welcome. And that gets confusing and scary.
Speaker 4: And the concept as to what's going on, and a
Speaker 4: lot of it gets kind of complicated theological, and that's
Speaker 4: of interest to some, but some people just need that
Speaker 4: simple verse to move them along that way and to
Speaker 4: go into peace. When sometimes that hits in such a
Speaker 4: way that it's like, well, what's going on and what
Speaker 4: is happening? The end time stuff and the raising of
Speaker 4: the it gets into a whole muddy mess of stuff
Speaker 4: that I prefer we talk about it from time to time,
Speaker 4: but on a case like this, to prefer to focus
Speaker 4: on the simplicity of that truth, because I think it's
Speaker 4: an important one and also one that is kind of
Speaker 4: overlooked in all the you know, the many versions of
Speaker 4: well this is what happens, and this is what happens,
Speaker 4: and just stick with that beauty. To be absent from
Speaker 4: the body is to be present with the Lord. Wendy,
Speaker 4: Welcome to the Jesus Christ Show.
Speaker 7: Jesus, thank you, You're my Lord and Savior. And I
Speaker 7: praise your holy name.
Speaker 1: Oh praise God, thanks for calling.
Speaker 7: I was raised in a conservative Southern Baptist church and
Speaker 7: I still hold those values and belief and it's regarding music.
Speaker 7: I'm a musician. I love all types of music. I
Speaker 7: love opera, classical, I love what's that ghetto rap? I
Speaker 7: love every type of music, every type of music that
Speaker 7: there is. But I believe that there's maybe more okay,
Speaker 7: well being being raised with the hymns, the old hymns
Speaker 7: like great is Thy faithfulness? And when the when the
Speaker 7: role is called, there's a different vibrational frequency. That is,
Speaker 7: I don't know, place stuff on your soul. I can't
Speaker 7: see you.
Speaker 4: See now you're getting into metaphysics, and that might be
Speaker 4: a problem too.
Speaker 7: Well, Okay, Let's say somebody has has like sexual sin okay,
Speaker 7: and they go to a striper bar and they watch
Speaker 7: those girls on the pole. If there was opera playing
Speaker 7: or hymns, I don't think that they would be into it,
Speaker 7: because I think it's I listen to me for a second.
Speaker 1: I don't think they'd care.
Speaker 7: Who's they Those.
Speaker 4: That are in the strip joint, they're not going there
Speaker 4: to see naked women and some cool jams. They're going
Speaker 4: there to see naked women. The association between certain music
Speaker 4: and certain vibes, Yes, of course, there are certain things
Speaker 4: that you have to be in the mood for. There
Speaker 4: is no evil music, there are evil words, there's evil intent,
Speaker 4: but there is not one. Okay, let's uh, maybe an
Speaker 4: e minor is a little dark, but there's no there's
Speaker 4: no such thing as an evil note.
Speaker 7: Okay, well wait, wait what about like Highway to Hell?
Speaker 1: Okay, that's that's a lyric. That's a lyric.
Speaker 4: And I will tell you this, I'll go even a
Speaker 4: little further with you that if you put the actual
Speaker 4: contents of scripture into lyrics, with the beast reality and
Speaker 4: the rape and the multiple partners, you wouldn't be able
Speaker 4: to listen to it then either, even though it's straight
Speaker 4: out of the Bible. The Bible, i will tell you,
Speaker 4: is the filthiest, most violent book that you will come across.
Speaker 4: It's not prescriptive that way. It's describing that these things
Speaker 4: took place.
Speaker 7: Yeah, that's true.
Speaker 4: So then we have to look at scripture the same way,
Speaker 4: or outside of scripture the same way. Any music, is
Speaker 4: it being prescriptive or is it describing something? We play
Speaker 4: a lot of secular music on the show for that
Speaker 4: very reason, because a lot of it is describing how
Speaker 4: they believe, either Christians believe, or the confusion they have
Speaker 4: in life, or the frustrations they have in life.
Speaker 1: And that's Okay.
Speaker 4: Now, if it's telling you to go out and commit
Speaker 4: a sacrifice, if it's telling you go out and take
Speaker 4: a life, if it's telling you to go out and
Speaker 4: do these things, then yes there's a problem. If it's
Speaker 4: describing them, you have to have the sense of an
Speaker 4: old cow and eat the hay and leave the sticks.
