Speaker 1: So how is Jesus viewed on YouTube?
Speaker 2: I can't say overall, but man, I can show you
some stuff from our comment section. And this is one
of the reasons I'm glad to be on YouTube, even
though we can't talk about real things on YouTube. Speaking
of that, Friday, on our substack, it's the Todd Herman
Show dot substack dot com. If you're not yet a subscriber.
I do a pretty long video about Bill Gates being
ordered to go to courts in the Netherlands, and man,
that would get us banned forever on the tubes. So
it's there, and it's the Todd Herman Show Dot substact
dot com if you're not yet a subscriber. That will
come out Friday morning. I got to say one other
thing just before we begin the program. A friend of
mine told me the night that there's McDonald's ads running
during our program, and he said, Hey, so you got
McDonald's as a sponsor.
Speaker 1: No, we don't.
Speaker 2: Those are robotic ads that are included. And I'll just
say this, I like to Mickey Desberg from time to time.
I don't eat them because I'm an addict, so if
I eat one, I will eat more. I do not
eat them. I like their taste, but please understand something.
Those things are designed to jones you. They are designed
as a drug. They've got all sorts of chemists andineurologists
that I've been in the fast food kitchens. I told
you about the Taco Taco Time kitchen where I saw
the chemical compounds on the wall and I.
Speaker 1: Asked them about that.
Speaker 2: Man, this is so designed to hit you in dipamine
and serotonin and everything else. If you're one of the
people who can go in there and not end up
jones and for that stuff, god bless you.
Speaker 1: But please understand the design of that.
Speaker 2: And since they're running McDonald's on the show, I just
thought I needed to say something like that. I guess
we get some money for that. Eventually it washes up
to us. So that's what it is.
Speaker 1: And it's not something I can control. There are other
things I can control.
Speaker 2: We try to get rid of the pharma ads and
the government ads, but Pharma lies constantly to make their
ads in like their sports et cetera. All right, are
we actually doing a show here? Are we just talking
about me? I know, the lint roller kind of at
a lint roller issue before we began the show, all right,
focus on the program, how Jesus is viewed on YouTube?
And I finally see in President Trump would have been
praying to see. We'll talk about this with the great
grace of God almighty.
Speaker 3: But Todd Herman show is one disapproved but big pharma
technocrats in tyrans everywhere from the high mountains of Free America.
Here's the Emerald City, Xie.
Speaker 1: Todd Herman.
Speaker 2: Today is the day the Lord has made, and these
are the times, so which God is the side we
shall live.
Speaker 1: Man the continuity. People are going to be going nuts
because hey, where does coffee cup go? Where's his coffee cup?
Speaker 2: It's almost as if we're going to have to do
a magic special effect for my hand reaches over like
this and straight out of space comes floating a coffee
cup as soon as the cup is put on it
by a woman who's on her last days on the
show because she's going to go build.
Speaker 1: An alternative career.
Speaker 2: And I'm so proud of our Thank you, Niata, appreciate you,
thank you for that. So I gotta I gotta just
focus down because I'd rather be talking about the thing
we're going to talk about on substack tomorrow. But I've
recorded the video. It's going to be there for you,
So I've got to focus down. We're on YouTube. We're
on it because it's a commercial necessity. It's the biggest
podcasting platform in the world, bar none, and we're getting
some at least I'm getting some joy to that. So
we're gonna get quickly into that. But let me just
bring up a couple of Kamala Harris things. So she
goes on with Anderson Cooper, and you'd expect us to
be super easy. Anderson Cooper is a leftist and clear leftists.
But even I think as Cooper is going through these questions,
I can ima imagine the CNN and staff going, hey,
let's make sure we don't have any big stumpers out here.
And I got to think Cooper's look at this. Good, Yeah,
there's no stumpers here. I mean, this is about as
softball as it gets. So he asks her a question
that every candidate gets asked. And by the way, President
Trump failed this years ago when they asked him about, Hey,
what's a big mistake you made? And President Trump said,
I have made any mistakes and that's changed. And then
he was also asked at one point in regard to
being a Christian, for what do you need redemption? I
think he said at one point I don't need that,
and now he's changed and is admitted he'd each redemption
praise God.
Speaker 1: So it's a simple question, Kamala Harris.
Speaker 2: Is there something you can point to in your life,
political life, or in your life from the last four
years that you think is a mistake that you have
learned from.
Speaker 4: I mean, I've made many mistakes, and they range from
you know, if you've ever parented a child, do you
know anything?
Speaker 1: She hasn't full stop.
Speaker 2: As Matt Wash points out, her stepkids were twenty and fifteen.
Speaker 1: When she attached herself into the family. She did not
raise children at all. Some mistakes too.
Speaker 4: In my role as vice president, I mean, I've probably
worked very hard at making sure that I am well
versed on issues.
Speaker 1: And you gave speeches about school buses and you said,
these are school buses and they're yellow, and they're yellow
school buses. And think about the significance these yellow school
buses that are yellow take kids to school to school? School?
Are kids in these buses?
Speaker 4: No, I think that is very important. It's a mistake
not to be well versed on an issue and feel
compelled to answer a question.
Speaker 2: You know that multi billion dollar program to bring broadband
to people, how many homes have broadband?
Speaker 1: None?
Speaker 2: Elon Musk through Starlink has brought more broadband to North
Carolina post hurricane than their program did. And her bosses
stole a contract from Musk to do that around the
country so they could pay fifty sixty seventy percent more
because they hate Elon because he's opened up Twitter to
be somewhat of a free speech platform.
Speaker 1: So mistakes Afghanistan.
Speaker 2: She did the thing that people do in job interviews,
and I got to the point at Microsoft where I
would preemptively ban this answer.
Speaker 1: What's one of your big weaknesses in an area where
you have a room for growth?
Speaker 2: And don't say perfectionism, don't say working too hard, don't
say working too long.
Speaker 1: Don't say that, and.
Speaker 2: You'd see the nbas you'd been through the rehearsal process.
Speaker 1: Oh ah, I yelled up, my mom. Then a weakness.
See this goes to the point that Kamala Hears does
not exist. She's not a real person.
Speaker 2: She's words and programs. She's akmal about that's a lay down,
easy answer. And come on, Harris is pretty good at
laying down for politics. As it were, I'm having this morning,
this would be Oh gosh, let's see twelfth twenty four.
This is my Alex is laughing, my producer Alex. This
is my thirtieth ounce, No, thirty second ounce of bone
Frog coffee this morning.
Speaker 1: This happens to be what do we have downstairs? Goltlocker?
Speaker 2: Oh so the goltlocker is a great, great story from
bone Frog Coffee. The goltlocker is a place where enlisted
officers in the navy can go, and the big wigs
they can't even come in without knocking. It's a great, great,
great tradition. And this is a light roast, French roast,
light but incredibly rich. It took three years to develop this.
That's at Bonefrog Coffee dot com, slash tad get temper
sent off all the products there. Everything comes labeled God
Country Team. Now in this hand is a pretend, is
it sniffer? What do you all wind people drink? What's
the fancy wine things called like wine glass?
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 2: It's a fancy wine glass in this hand, a fake
one because I don't drink wine. But if I did
drink wine, it would have bone Frog Cellars and I
would go and I'd swish it around. And that's called legs.
Speaker 1: Does it have legs?
Speaker 2: I learned this from my friends who are wine snobs,
wine wine experts. It has legs, and then I would
test the bouquette like smit up my beak. You can
do that with coffee too. You could also do that
with root beer. You can do that with a blooney sandwich.
I don't know why people do it with wine, but
they do it.
Speaker 1: That's what you do.
Speaker 2: Then you take a little bit of it and you
drink it. You put it in your mouth, but then
you open your mouth in your nose and you breathe
fuck tru as you're testing the wine. I think you
do that a little bit more aerodype form, a little
bit more genteel.
Speaker 4: See.
Speaker 2: I don't drink wine, but I turn to my friends
who are wine experts, and they tried bone Frog Cellars
and were deeply impressed. They had the twenty fifteen Mayor
Low and Cabernet. Those are the two. I don't know
if to say flavors or blends. I don't know types
of wine.
Speaker 1: My daughter tries.
Speaker 2: She is not yet legally supposed to drink, but hey,
it's our house, as sue me.
Speaker 1: But I guess you could. She loved it.
Speaker 2: Suitator boyfriend. My wife occasion has wine with dinner. She
really enjoyed it.
Speaker 1: So try it.
Speaker 2: You go to Bonefrogsellers dot com slash todd. Ten percent
of proceeds go to the Navy Seal Foundation because the founder,
Tim Krukshank, look at that retired Navy sealed Bonefrogsellers dot
com slash todd, a pretty famous cat, decided to go
in and all in and risk his career because it's
a legitimate risk if you're going to go from Hollywood
and admit that you are willing to vote for President Trump.
This guy's name is Zachary Levi Pugh. He's an American
actor and singer. Starred as Chuck Bartowski in the action
comedy series Chuck and as the titular character in the
superhero film Shazam. Yes, I just read that from Wikipedia,
because have absolutely no idea who this guy is.
Speaker 1: I just know he's very famous and.
Speaker 2: So putting his career on the line, and let's give
him credit for this he went live on Instagram live.
Speaker 1: To do this.
Speaker 5: Oh and by the way, to Whoopy Goldberg and to
Sonny and to you know, all.
Speaker 6: Of the folks at the view.
Speaker 2: And can we stop the bro it's got some good hair.
I mean, as he's going through the video, if you're
listening to the audio version of this, he's combing back
his hair. Very charismatic move. That's a strong move. It
shows the hair, it shows the dominance. Nice nice, nice move.
Speaker 5: I I don't think it's accurate to say that somehow
Hollywood is both a liberal and a conservative town.
Speaker 6: To Whooby's point, back in the day.
Speaker 5: There might have been a bit more of a balance,
you know, and there have always been more, let's say,
conservative leaning stars.
Speaker 6: That have been able to say those things.
Speaker 5: But you really have to be at a certain level
of your career in order to get away with it.
Uh number number one, but number two that was also
back then. And I think naming just John Voight and
Dennis Quaid and really only named John John Voight would
be somebody else had.
Speaker 6: To help you with.
Speaker 5: Dennis Quid of the thousands of actors in Hollywood that
you could only name to, I think actually speaks to that,
And what that means is there's plenty and by the way,
they have sent me lots of messages, plenty of people
in my industry in Hollywood that are terrified to publicly
say that they would vote for Donald Trump or be
conservative in any way.
Speaker 6: That's why you don't see them.
Speaker 5: That's why they're not very prevalent or prominent because they
know that there's ramifications for this kind of But like
I said, y'all, our industry is going to be gone
so like it's it already is.
Speaker 6: We're getting we're getting eroded.
Speaker 5: The pandemic and the strikes and all of these things,
they've already eroded it so much. So you know, my,
so my my anyway, my cry to all of you
out there, you closeted conservatives, closeted Trump voters, Yeah, it's
now or never.
Speaker 6: I don't you know what I mean, Like, I do.
Speaker 5: Whatever you feel like you need to do, if you
need to come out publicly and say it. If you
feel like you still can't, then don't you know I
would never pressure you to that. But know that if
what you're afraid of is somehow the backlash of an
industry that's not going to exist very soon.
Speaker 6: Then don't let that, don't let that hold you back.
Speaker 2: Maybe just look at this a different way as well.
And thank you for Zachary for doing that. I'm sorry,
didn't know who you were. It's just I don't out
of the world. Think of it ten years from now, okay,
and just imagine this that I'm fifty seven and.
Speaker 1: God, shit angers people when I say this. G it's
so frustrated with me.
Speaker 2: I hope the Lord takes me home before I turn
sixty seven, run sixty four. I know that angers people.
I keep myself healthy, I work out constantly. I see
Alex looking at me. Why would I not want to
go to Jesus?
Speaker 1: No, no's just stop with all this stuff. If you
believe in the New Heaven and the New Earth, and
you believe you're going to Lord Jesus, why would you
say I don't want to go.
Speaker 2: And Gosh just angers so many of my family members.
You'd be leaving us behind. Yes, in good hands, the
hand of the Lord Jesus, because if he brought me home,
I guarantee he's going to sit and care for you. Well,
he's already doing it. I don't and people Christians who
are afraid to die and legitimately I hear this all,
and man, am I on the distraction train today? I
really am. You can tell the things I want to
be talking about. But I hear Christians say, like the
end of the day, I said to brother, say to.
Speaker 1: How are you? How are you? Man? Good to see you?
Well I woke up this morning. That's better than the alternative.
Speaker 2: Why it's not an argument for suicide because I'm not
even sure you go to heaven if you commit suicide.
I mean, I think the Lord is just to forgive
and wants to do that, and he seeks us that way,
but it's also stealing as a last act. Now the
God start sitting around waiting, so, oh.
Speaker 1: I got you, I got you? Look what you did?
Oh you're out.
Speaker 2: He doesn't want that. He wants us to come home.
But man, if you're looking forward to the new Heaven
of the new Earth, what's wrong with looking forward to
the new having the new Earth?
Speaker 1: Were we doing a show?
Speaker 2: Or is it me just emoting talking about Zachary. So
imagine ten years from now and I hope to meet
my grandkids.
Speaker 1: If my daughter is gifted with kids and she decides
to do that, and when they say, hey, Grandpa, what
did you do.
Speaker 2: When the Democrats wanted to force people to lie? What
did you do?
Speaker 1: Man? I voted super hard.
Speaker 2: I went into those polls and I really I used
to just color in the little circle or oval, but man,
I pressed so hard and I used two number two pencils,
and then I just.
Speaker 1: Then I handed it to the lady and I said,
check that out. That's voting hard? Or did you give
up anything?
Speaker 2: Did you maybe do things you don't want to do
because God has called you to do it, such as
going and making disciples though it's uncomfortable. Did you take
uncomfortable political positions and speak them in public? Did you
knock on a door? Did you go to the sixty
five percent of young people who are not going to vote,
particularly young Christians.
Speaker 1: Who have their heads about them.
Speaker 2: Did you go to them and say, do you understand
that when you don't vote, you were making all the
votes influenced by Satan that much stronger?
Speaker 1: Do you know that? Do you know that you're doing
exactactly what Satan would want you to do? Did you
do that?
Speaker 2: I want to be able to say to my grandkids, well, gosh,
you know what I worked longer than I would have liked.
Speaker 1: I produced during the week. I was blessed to work.
Speaker 2: In a telvishened studio got built with good people. But men,
sometimes I'm telling you, it's hard to say I'm going
to sit down and create another thirty five hours of
content this week, your two national radio shows and this podcast,
and sometimes it's a blessing. Sometimes I'd rather not do it.
You're probably the same way with your job. So I
want to be able to say that to them because
I can legitimately say to them. Man, I've talked with
my family about this many, many times. My dream scenario
is a cabin and a CrossFit gym and a church
and books, and legitimately to be able to come down
into society from time to time and people say, hey,
did you vote, and for me to go what did
I who? But we can't do that. So Zachary Levi
is making this point that it's now or never.
Speaker 1: It is.
Speaker 2: Because there will come at ten years from now. And
if that ten years from now is after eight years
of the people who run Kamala Harris, then Blackrock owns
six hundred million homes, not three hundred million and floating
the idea of we're going to ban you from having
natural gas in your home is no longer a floated idea.
They've done it. Everything's connected to the grid. The attack
on people living in rural areas is complete. The per
mile driven tax with a premium for being twenty five
miles outside the city corps.
Speaker 1: That's done. The smart cities things is done. All the
new cars have off switches.
Speaker 2: Social credit is enforced that way. Go out into your
car in the morning, turn it on, and hey, I
got to go to the store. I'm sorry. Before you
do that, we're going to need you to take down
a social media post. It's problematic. There are people being
jailed for praying in their heads. So yeah, the time
is now, and it is now or never, which is
again one of the reasons why I run YouTube. Because
there's young people there who have no idea who the.
Speaker 1: Lord Jesus is.
Speaker 2: There's old people there who have no idea who the
Lord Jesus is. And some of the conversations there are well,
some of them are inspiring, others of them are baffling
and disconcerting, but their reality. So I want to share
some of these with you. If you've not been to
our YouTube channel, its YouTube dot com. Slash at the
Todd Herman Show. There are people who have special needs
kids and this happens that they have to adjust their
expectation for their kids.
Speaker 1: And this is really hard for parents.
Speaker 2: Parents say, well, my kid's going to be he's going
to go to my college and he's going to pursue
my profession. And when they find out the kids have
are non neurotypical, a lot of times for parents it
can be oh my gosh, and it's a difficult thing
to adjust expectations. Doesn't mean that you stop loving, you
stop pushing, stop believing. For parents of kids who have
special needs, for them to understand that Alan has it
really tough. He's effectively nonverbal. He has at eighteen operations.
He's only fourteen years old.
Speaker 1: But he works.
Speaker 2: He invents soap. He works at the company in quality control.
His brother Ian is impacted by autism. He works.
Speaker 1: He contributes Amy who got late on set autism. She's
thriving help with social media, et cetera. She was told she's.
Speaker 2: Hirable and the soap is of pristine quality. There's no
way John would put his son's name on a soap
that sucked, so they researched a family. They found him
in the Midwest. They are three generations into the soap
crafting world. That's what that's all they do. They took
on the fragrances that Alan thought of, that came from
special memories for him. They create those soaps are all natural,
They're made in America. To give this to families with
kids with special needs, partic of the younger kids. It's
a side of hope and every time they wash their
bodies they can remember that. Yep, our kids too can work.
Our kids can contribute. What the word saying is not true.
So go to alansoaps dot com slash todd. That's Alan
soaps dot com slash todd. We'll get to President Trump
and what this change I've seen in him that I've
just been praying to see. It's very much related in
my mind to how Jesus is viewed on YouTube, at
least by some people. This comes from mac dash p.
Six seven. And this might be a bot. I get that,
but the purpose of bots is to be viewed by others.
It's the bots not entertaining itself. The bot could be learning,
but the purpose sometimes of bots like this in a
YouTube environment is to go and provide counterpoints of view
because they're trying to persuade others. Here's what this person
and or bot wrote. Jesus never claimed to be God,
small g God, the guy writes. Actually, he claimed to
be God's son and told his disciples to never bow
or worship him. He told them only his father's to
be worshiped. If Jesus is God, was God, then who
did Jesus pray to himself?
Speaker 5: No?
Speaker 2: He prayed to his father when his disciples when the
end would be? I think When his disciples asked when
the end would be, he said the angels. Neither the
angels nor the son know when they will be, but
only the Father knows. When Jesus was baptized, a voice
from heaven talking about his son. That wasn't himself being tranquilalist,
I said, true, yeah, Just you know, when you speak
for others like the puppet, I can't say that tranquiloquist.
I can't say the word I got the Biden brain
and this is really faith of firming. Gregory Buzby two
wrote John ten thirty, I and the Father are one.
Matthew won twenty three and a response if Jesus wrote, Okay,
so this is one conversation. So this guy just writes
back and says, well, no, actually, right here, Jesus said,
I and the Father are one, and I could child
in this response, and I think I did. In the
beginning was the word? The word was with God. The
word was God. That's referring to God and Jesus as one.
You can go to Genesis, and you can go to
the Spirit of God moved across the waters. You can
go to any of the teachings, and you can find
any of the apostles saying nothing exists that was not
made for him or by him. So Jesus did, in fact, did,
in fact say I am the law, and that just
about costs him his life. He said that to a
rabbi in a temple because he was offered the opportunity
to do the reading, and they became upset. Right, you're
saying that the law has been fuitfilled today, what are
you talking about that? Eventually the Lord Jesus said I
am the Law, and they took him to a cliff
and tried to throw him off the cliff, but he
made his way through them and disappeared.
Speaker 1: I love that.
Speaker 2: I love that aspect of Jesus. So this is sometimes
how he's viewed on YouTube. This is from ROB twenty
two forty nine or pardon me, OB twenty two to
forty nine. Again kind of bought like because using numbers
instead of letters. If Jesus wrote from the dead, rose
from the dead, what did he sacrifice? His return fully
functional three days later is conclusive proof It wasn't his life,
So what did he sacrifice?
Speaker 1: Time?
Speaker 2: Now, if this is an AI, it's a pretty good
one because there was a follow on conversation.
Speaker 1: I wrote and said what really? Well?
Speaker 2: To begin with, he who was sinless became sin. He
took upon himself all of God's wrath at human beings
for a rebellion. Jesus, part of the Triune God, had
experienced separation from God, the Father, the god of the universe,
allowed himself to be scourged, meaning beaten with whips and
change to the point where, according to historical views of
these events, his ribs probably showed through his back. He
was forced to carry a probably two dreed pound cross
while being whipped and spat upon. He had spike tamber
through his hands and feet. Jesus likely died from asphyxiation
as the weight of his body slowly collapsed his lungs.
So Jesus sacrificed his perfection, his innocence, his deedy, his safety,
his body, his connection to God the Father. Yes, he
regained that all and now offers us the opportunity to
live forever with him in heaven or to choose our
own torture, your move. I pray you choose Jesus. Then
there's this. This is from James Duret. And by the way,
I think that conversation continued because I think I ended
up talking about the cups of wrath and what he
took upon himself and the things that we cannot take
upon ourselves.
Speaker 1: I mentioned in one of the.
Speaker 2: Commentaries that I think the editorial team edited and took
over to YouTube and they focused on my statements talking
about the rich young ruler and how the rich young
ruler came to Lord Jesus and said, hey, what do
I need to do to get to the Kingdom of Heaven?
And the Lord Jesus said, hey, follow the ten commandments,
and the rich ung ruler said, look, I've done that
my whole life. I followed the ten commandments, and then
the Lord Jesus said, okay, well then do this, sell
all the things you own, come back and follow me,
take up your cross, follow me, and the rich young
ruler went away sad. Now, tradition is an interesting thing
because there are traditions in the Bible, or not in
the Bible, but around the Bible that say that the
rich young ruler went home and thought about it and
became a follower of Jesus, accept him as Lord and Savior,
confessed the fact that he was wedded to his riches,
and he was trusting in riches and money, the things
of this earth, rather than Jesus, and so he became
eventually a believer and.
Speaker 1: Followed the Lord. There's that tradition.
Speaker 2: I don't see anything in the Bible that says that happened,
But the topic came up of mercy, and this guy
wrote in sort of an interesting challenge, and it was
an interesting conversation. This is more faith affirming to me
because other people see these conversations talking about the body
of Christ. And I'll share this with you in a second.
When the Lord designed us, I truly believe, I truly
believe that the Lord signs his work. I believe he
signs it in music. There's a reason why different cultures
have different appreciation of different musical schemes. In the West
is four four. It's the one four or five chord structure.
It's attention and resolve of a diminished back to the
whole chord. There's a reason for these things. I think
God signs his work. I think he signs it in
the stars. The fact that we can map travel through
the stars, I think that's God signing his work. I
think he signs his work in our DNA because people
who've really looked into the human genome and the DNA
understand it to be unbelievably dynamic.
Speaker 1: Code truly dynamic and elegant.
Speaker 2: And it is code that writes code, and it is
hardware that builds hardware, and hardware that can reproduce hardware
in a moment a second. Begin the building process and
the copying of code process, and the transcription process. There
are a lot of people down at renew who shouldn't
be alive.
Speaker 1: One of them is Adam. Adam has brittle bones.
Speaker 2: He's supposed to be dead, and he's been told multiple
times he's going to be dead. He's a guy that
can break his leg standing up from a chair, but
he continues to seek health. So he swims and there's
other things he does. He does very very careful ctabout
work and body weight work. If you saw him, he'd
never know that he has this disease. Is a young guy.
So what has kept them going, Well, it's the exercise,
it's God's design and it's the stem cells God designed.
He's one of the doctors down there. So the stem
cells ethically gathered from umbilical cords and placentas only is
something he's infused with on a regular basis because it
keeps growing back body parts that shouldn't be growing back muscle, tendon,
cartilage that's not allowed here. And this economy is being
set up in the safest city in Mexico, Porto Iarta.
There's dental clinics that do things down there they're not
allowed to do up here. That you can go in
fifteen minutes to get done work down there that would
take you.
Speaker 1: Two or three hours up here.
Speaker 2: I've experienced with the umbilical cords and stem cells from
placentas two times. I'm taking a group of friends down there.
It looks like we're gonna go end of March. Four men,
all of them going to take advantage of this. See
if they can help you. Go to renew dot Healthcare.
It's our e nue dot Healthcare. Back pain, neuropathy, being
told you have to have shoulder surge. That might not
be true. You might be able to be healed without
the surgery. That happens on a pretty regular basis. It's
renew dot Healthcare. Please tell them you're part of the
Todd Hermitshell family. So in a commentary I talked about
the rich young ruler, and James Durrett seems much more
like an honest name wrote in and said, what makes
you think the rich man didn't receive mercy? Of course
he received mercy. I wrote back and staid, I hope
so is that in the Bible? Is it in the
Bible that he didn't? Is God merciful? He wrote back,
And I wrote back and said, yeah, indeed he is.
If the rich young ruler accepted Jesus as his Lord
and Savior, then he was saved. We could pray that
it happened. James Durrett wrote back to me, The Lord
is good to all that is mercies all over all
that he's made Psalm verse nine. So mercy's all over
all that he may true. We just refer to the
common blessings, right, that's mercy. God provides the common blessings
to people who do justice and people who do it
justice or if you want to be more casual about it,
among the good and the evil. So I wrote back
to James, and I said Acts Chapter four, verses eighteen
through twelve. Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said
to them, rulers and elders of the people, if we're
going to be called to account for an act of
kindness shown to a man who was lame, and are
being asked how it was healed, then know this, you
and all the people of Israel. It is by the
name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you cristified, but
whom God raised from the dead, that this man stands
before you healed. Jesus is the stone you builders rejected
and has become the cornerstone. Salvation is found in no
one else, for there's no other name under Heaven given
to mankind by which we must be saved. And James
wrote back, Amen, I don't know if you're trying to
infer something, or you really like that verse. So you
see the turners taking this is comment sections in YouTube
terrible places for communication. I took this to be snarky,
and maybe it wasn't. Maybe he's sincere. I don't get
it what you're.
Speaker 1: Saying, I wrote back, salvation is found.
Speaker 2: That no one else, only in Jesus, the rich young
ruler needed to accept Jesus's savior to be saved, even
with God's mercy.
Speaker 1: Point, that's snarky point.
Speaker 2: And then he added, I don't know if you're purposely
evitting the topic at hand, or if you're just ensure
what the topic was. So I copied, and now we're
into the great, great cycle of doom of the comment section.
I quoted him. What makes you think the rich man
young rich young man didn't receive mercy? Of course he
received mercy, I wrote, That was the original comment. The
thread is right here above us. James writes to me.
God's mercy isn't limited to the cross. God isn't limited
in any way, shape or form. But that is your
sole focus. God was merciful before Jesus. God was merciful
through Jesus, and after Jesus. The issue with evangelicals is
this god limiting dogmatic approach. That's the issue with evangelicals
because Catholics, of course say you don't have to go
through Jesus to get well, wait, no, they don't. Yep,
they do involve papal authority. They do involve the intercession
of bishops. They do involve a different form of this.
To me, it's Phariseean. It's a remaking of the Pharisee systems.
It is the high holies.
Speaker 1: We go here, you go there.
Speaker 2: That's one of the reasons I'm not Catholic. But they
do say you have to go through Jesus. So I
wrote back, thanks James for clarifying your opinion. Indeed, God
was merciful, because God is mercy. God is also truth
and light and law and order and honesty. God sent
his only son to save us, and Jesus said, I'm
the Way, the Truth, and the life. No one comes
to the Father but through me. The Bible makes it
very very clear that in the Church age there's one
and only one path to salvation, that is through God's son,
Jesus Christ. In the New Testament, there's no wiggle room
at all. So, James writes back, and this is again
comment section tactic, interesting and kind of telling. You left
out love, He writes, in all caps in your description
of God, why would you leave it out? I never
understood people's reluctance to profess God's love. Now I thought
about saying and getting into the argument that no, God
demonstrates his love through mercy and kindness, and law and
order and the common blessings.
Speaker 1: All of this conveys love.
Speaker 2: But instead I tried to put my ego aside, and
I said this to James.
Speaker 1: You're correct, I didn't say love. God is love.
Speaker 2: In fact, God so loved in all caps the world
that he sent his only son that all who believe
in him will be saved. James, that's not what the
verse say. Is it says sh perish and have eternal life.
Jesus describes eternal life as a relationship with Him, not
some everlasting torture chamber. And to perish, meaning to lose
or to be lost, means they don't get that pleasure
in this life. I wrote back and said, you can
prefer that translation. It doesn't change the meaning. People who
followed Jesus got to have eternal life with him. People
who deny him choose hell. Jesus spoke often and clearly
about Hell, which is and how to have Heaven, which
is through him only. And I link to an article
which is all the many many times that Jesus warned
about Hell and described it. Now I'm guessing, and I
could guess that the face structure from what this guy's coming.
Speaker 1: I could guess that, but it would be truly a guess.
But just know this.
Speaker 2: It is absolutely impossible to make the case that the
New Testament has any way to Heaven. But through Jesus
that case cannot be made, and he failed.
Speaker 1: To make it.
Speaker 2: It would have been more fun to have the conversation
in person, because I'm guessing probably a decent guy. Comment
sections are terrible places for reasoning, but you can see
what's going on in YouTube. Some of our best performing
videos have been on the topic of what Christian should
think about X or what does the Christian definition of
marriage actually mean? And a lot of them our responses
to woke pastors praise God for using YouTube and praise
God for a change I've seen in President Trumpet. Maybe
you saw the same exact change that I did. Corruption
follows money. The love of money is the root of
all evil. The love of money. Now, my friend Zach Abraham,
the chief investments are capital management. He doesn't love money,
he stewards it. What he loves is managing risk for people.
What he loves is seeing people enter into retirement with
a successful plan. And Zach has a unique way of
describing what a successful retirement means. It's not what some
other people would do. Other people will show you pictures of.
Speaker 1: Beach vacations and two million dollar RVs and multiple homes,
and maybe that's what you want. What is it what
you could afford.
Speaker 2: Zach engages in risk management by actively managing every single portfolio, which.
Speaker 1: Can reduce risk and volatility. And he will look at
your accounts. He'll look at your equity in your home,
your investment accounts, any sort of outstanding debts you have,
and he will tell you how exposed you are to
risk and how near you are to successful retirement. And
here's how Zach defines success in retirement, knowing exactly how
much money you will have every month for the rest
of your life.
Speaker 2: And he'll look at these portfolios for free, no obligation.
Just call him at eight sixty six seven to seventy
nine risk. That's eight sixty six seven seven nine risk.
Or go to Know your Risk radio dot com and
he'll make that happen for you. All work Capital Managements

I saw something in President Trump I've been praying to see.
I really really feel that he's being legitimately sincere when
he says this.
Speaker 7: But as I look back at my life's journey and events,
I now recognize that it's been the hand of God
leading me to where I am today.
Speaker 3: Thank you.
Speaker 7: And my faith took on new meaning on July thirteenth
in Butler, Pennsylvania, where I was knocked to the ground.
Speaker 8: Essentially by what seemed like a super natural hand. And
I would like to think that God saved me for
a purpose, and that's to.
Speaker 7: Make our country greater than ever before.
Speaker 2: So the President was reading those remarks, but he read
them well, and I perceive in him, and I wonder
if you're the same. I perceive in him an actual humility.
To this, I think humility is one of the hard
things to pretend to have. So she spoke so much
about God's words. Let's look at a couple of things
from Proverbs and James. Proverbs chapter twenty two, verse four.
The reward for humility and fear of the Lord is
richest in honor and life. By the way, that doesn't
always mean on earth. Proverbs chapter eleven, verse two. When
pride comes, then comes disgrace. But with the humble is wisdom.
And then James chapter four, verse ten, humble yourselves before
the Lord, and he will exalt you. I've been hoping
to see this form of humility and President Trump, I've
also been hoping to see this very very real call
to all Christians to vote. There is an effort in Arizona,
a bunch of false, heretical Catholics who are trying to
organize other Catholics to simply not vote. We need to
do what's right, even if the outcome is not certain.
We're given the opportunity to vote in this country. I
think it's our responsibility to vote, and I beg you
to as you vote, pray Godly protection over your ballot,
that the forces of the evil not be allowed to
steal it, or obscure it, or change it.
Speaker 1: God's power is real, and Jesus has delegated to us.
Speaker 2: Some of his own powers, among them praying protection on things.
President Trump delivered a message to Christians.
Speaker 7: So I'm here tonight to deliver a simple message to
Christians across America. It's time to stand up and save
your country. Thank you very much, Thank you very much.
On November fifth, Christian voters need to turn out in
the largest numbers ever. Do you know that if you
did that, because you have a reputation of not voting proportionately.
Speaker 6: Like you should, you do know that.
Speaker 7: I think that maybe is a form of rebellion.
Speaker 8: Could that be possible?
Speaker 7: You know, the two groups, not to equate them, but
they are probably associated in some form. But Christians Evangelicals,
but Christians and gun owners. Gun owners don't vote. They vote,
but very small proportions. If they did, or if Christians did,
nobody could ever beat us.
Speaker 2: It's right numerically, and in blue states, it's even worse.
In the separate country of Washington State, for instance, if
you got ninety percent Republican turnout, you could overcome the
truly fallen Babylon of Seattle. So what would keep you
from doing it in any of the states? Can I
suggest that it's pride. I won't be part of a
broken system. I won't do.
Speaker 1: It still broken. I'm not going to take the time.
Speaker 2: But it's something else, believing that God couldn't come and say, yeah,
you can try to rig this one.
Speaker 1: I let you do the last one. I let you
rig the last one.
Speaker 2: So people would see, in other words, cutting in half
the curtain into the temple America, Lord Jesus died. The
curtain in the temple was torn in half, this massive
curtain between the people and the Holy of Holies. It
was God saying, you don't need you don't need the
Pharisees and the statas seas anymore. You can come to
me through Jesus right here. Our temple in America has
been the government. I think God tore that curtain down
and said, look here, look look at Oz, look at
the little man running things. So for us to trust
God is to trust that he can also protect elections.
Speaker 1: And I hope you'll do that. I think it's.
Speaker 2: Important, Lord, thank you for reminding us that feary you,
and the proper way is the beginning of wisdom.
Speaker 1: This is a Todd Hermer show. Please go, be well,
be strong, be kind. Please make every effort to walk
in the light of Christ.
