Absolutely nothing less than five stars. We're going to leave a couple of links right there in the description so you can do just that. The verse of the day today is coming to you from Ezra, chapter 8, verse 23. So we fasted and entreated our God for this, and he answered our prayer. You know, this is a place for fasting and praying, and I think a lot of Christians have forgotten that. A lot of Christians, they don't fast anymore. You know, we used to fast a long time ago.

Maybe not a long time ago. We did it a few years ago. We would fast every single Friday, and we would spend that lunch hour praying. And when I tell you that it really benefited our spiritual lives, it was something that I had never thought to give the time to do.

As much as it's talked about in the Bible, like, why did I never think to do this? Yeah. I think it's something that we've, you know, at least some Christians maybe have softened in recent years. Like, I'm fasting from chocolate, or I'm fasting from my phone. And, you know, I'm not saying not to take a break from those things. All that has merit, but, like, fasting, depriving yourself of food and taking that time to pray and to seek God and to really, you know, dig in to God's character.

I mean, there's merit to that. You find that throughout Scripture, and nowhere is that, you know, deleted in the New Testament. In fact, Jesus himself goes and he fasts. I'm not saying we need to go fast for, like, 40 days, but I am saying, you know, there is merit to fasting and to setting aside that time in pursuing God and His will for your life.

I knew a youth pastor one time who said that to his students. He was like, I just want you guys to, you don't have to fast from food. Fast from your Xbox. Fast from your phone.

Like you said, fast from your phone. And I remember one of the guys was like, I'm gonna fast from my chores. When I'm working, when I'm doing my homework, I don't, I'm not focused on God. I'm fasting from my homework teacher. I can't turn it in for the next 40 days.

When I do my homework, I'm not focused on God. I just need, I was like, bro, you messed up. Don't have to fast from food. Yep.

If you don't, if you don't put clear instructions, teenagers 100% of the time will find a loophole. I saw a movie. This has nothing to do with fasting. This is just a very ham-handed segue. I saw a movie that Dr. Shah has been recommended.

So we've, we just, uh, last week went through Dr. Shah's journey through England and we were talking about Winston Churchill and his war rooms and stuff. I watched Darkest Hour. Yeah, it was good. To say it's crazy because it was good, but I can't figure out why it was good. And what I mean by that is there's almost zero action in the movie.

There's no like fighting. There's no like, I think there's one scene on the war front and it's literally just soldiers sitting around. Every scene is a character sitting in a room and talking to another character. And when I say every scene, every single scene is just dialogue. Somehow they made it fantastic. I was so sucked into this movie. And I mean, like a movie about Winston Churchill in World War II. It's like, to me, I watch a lot of Marvel movies.

I watch a lot of sci-fi Star Wars. It's like, that's not interesting. But somehow they took this movie about this, this guy, Gary Oldman, looking like the penguin from Batman, sitting around, I got through the whole movie and didn't know it was him.

So he does that. He's a chameleon. He, I mean, I've seen him in a ton of different movies and usually I don't realize it's him until after the fact. I did not know it was Gary Oldman until the credits rolled. But man, when I say that movie was good and I've been wanting to go back and watch it, he wants to put on some weight because I mean, that does not look like Gary Oldman. Well, it's probably prosthetic too.

True, true. They probably put him in a fat suit. But I mean, this guy, every scene is just him. And he's not cool, by the way. He talks just like droopy.

And he's got a little bit of a higher voice and he talks like this throughout the whole movie. And I was like, what is that? And then the first couple of scenes I was like, what the heck is this going to be?

What is happening? I was so drawn into that movie. I really recommend Darkest Hour. Even if you're not like a World War II fan or like a, like a biopic fan, you got to watch it, man. It is a, it is, it was just breathtaking. I got to check it out. It was so breathtaking. I loved it. And I know Dr. Shaw loved it as well. Yeah.

Let's talk, let's talk to him about it after the break. What makes that movie so compelling? And maybe it is the story of Winston Churchill.

Maybe it's the story of that whole scenario through World War II. Write in and let us know if you are a Darkest Hour fan. Write in and let us know what you liked about the movie.

Two, five, two, five, eight, two, five, zero, two, eight. Or you can visit us online at clearviewtodayshow.com. Stay tuned. We'll be back after this. Hey, what's going on listeners? My name is John.

And I'm Ellie. And we just want to take a second and let you know about Dr. Shaw's new book on the market right now called Can We Recover the Original Text of the New Testament? Boy, that is a long title. True, but it's a very simple message. The original text of the New Testament is not only attainable, but there are lots of different ways that scholars go about discovering it. There's a lot of people out there saying that the original text is lost forever or that it's hopeless to actually try to find it or that there's many texts of the New Testament. But alongside Dr. David Allen Black, Dr. Shaw has actually compiled papers from some of the world's leading experts in textual criticism, including one written by himself on various methodologies for extracting the original text. And listen, if you're interested in textual criticism, this book is a great introduction to the field. You can pick up your copy on Amazon or you can buy it from our church website. That's ClearviewBC.org. We're going to leave a link in the description box so you can get your copy today.

Love that. Ellie, let's hop back in. Let's do it. Welcome back to Clear View Today with Dr. Abbadon Shaw, the daily show that engages mind and heart for the gospel of Jesus Christ. You can visit us online at ClearViewTodayShow.com.

If you have any questions or suggestions for new topics, send us a text to 252-582-5028. I'm taking a selfie. I was looking at the hat. I can't stand wearing this hat. I wanted to switch with the tie for so long.

I would switch with you, but it does not fit on my head. And I can't tie a tie. So we're both, we're both messed up, but we are here today in the Clear View Today studio with Dr. Questions, who is also a PhD in New Testament textual criticism, also a professor at Carolina University, author, full-time pastor, and the host of today's show. Dr. Questions, it is so good to have you back here today.

It's good to be here. You know, a little birdie told me that you also were on a trip to England these past few weeks. Yes. And that you just, a lot like, I don't know if you and Dr. Shaw kind of met in the same area if y'all had lunch or whatever, but- Dr. Shaw? Yeah, Dr. Shaw.

Dr. Robinson. No, Dr. Dr. Shaw. Oh, you're Dr. Shaw. I'm Dr. Questions. You're Dr. Shaw. I'm Dr. Questions. Okay.

Because, because, but I also heard that you were able to go to Winston Churchill's war room. Yes, I did. When I heard that, I went home and watched the movie that you had been recommending to me for a long time, Darkest Hour. Yes. We talked about it on the intro, and I've been thinking it over, and I'm like, I don't know how they were able to take this movie, make every scene just a bunch of old guys sitting around talking to each other, and it still be that good. Yeah. It was pretty awesome. Fantastic movie. Yeah.

It's a great movie. Talking about Churchill's war room, you know, this was on Monday, I'm sorry, Sunday morning, we went to the Metropolitan Tabernacle at 11 o'clock for church. But then the only option I had that if I really wanted to see this place and see it without hundreds of tourists in there is at nine o'clock Sunday morning. Wow. And so Nicole and I were, I told Nicole, I said, this is the only way we can do it, but if you're okay with it, let's do it.

And she's like, okay. So I asked this Uber driver the night before, I was like, so what time do you think I should leave the hotel to get to Churchill's war room? Well, I would leave at 7 45.

Wow. It was that far away? No, it was barely five minutes by taxi.

Bro, why didn't you get up so early? So I got the Uber to show up at seven. So I'm like, okay, if he says 7 45, then we're going to get there by 7 30. Yeah.

Yeah. We're going to get there by 7 30. And so sure enough, I called the guy to come at 7 30, we left at 7 30.

He literally drove over on the block and I was like, oh, I knew, I knew this, I knew better than this. I should have double checked if I was so tired. So the tour was at nine and you're there at 7 45.

7 45. So then we decided to go, there was a park, beautiful park right across the street. Well, it's not a street, it's really just a big open space.

But we cannot drive there, it's just people can run, jog, walk, whatever. And we walked, sat in the park for a while. And then later on come to find out when the Germans were bombing, the Nazis were bombing England, you know, World War II, that they were bombing parts of the park. That's incredible. Yeah.

Wow. They bombed parts of the park. You know, they were looking at London, especially at night, you know, because it was all blackout so they couldn't figure out where everything was. They were looking at the Thames River that kind of goes like a snake through London.

So by moonlight, the river lights up. So that's how they're figuring out where to bomb. Oh, wow.

Wow. And they barely missed the war room. And then you say at one point, like if they had hit the war room, like they were not far enough underground.

They would be gone. Because it's really one set of steps down. Wow. It was not like a basement bunker or anything like that. It was literally a story. It was like an underground facility. There's a picture there in there, and you can find it online too, where Churchill is inspecting one of the bombing raids. And you can see in his face that he is really concerned because that was like around the corner and everything is gone. Wow.

So if it was just a few hundred yards over, he'd be buried under rubble. And the top brass leadership of England. Just gone. Great Britain, I guess.

Great Britain. Nice whoop. Wow.

Yeah. Incredible. Great movie, by the way.

Very Britain. Watch it. Very good movie. That's our recommendation to you for movies. But on today, we're not talking about movies today, we are forecasting that lightning is about to strike.

Oh, baby. Tell them what lightning round questions is, Ryan. There's lightning in the forecast because today is lightning round questions. We're going to take your questions that you have texted in to that number, 252-58-25028. We're going to take those, compile them. We have already done that today.

And we're going to post them after questions because that's what we do on lightning round questions. Peter M. from South Carolina wants to know, what do you think the M stands for, by the way? Peter... Manicotti.

Peter Manicotti. Golly, doesn't that sound good right about now? What's your opinion on the missing ending of Mark's gospel? Do you think it should be included or not?

This is something I think some of our listening audience may not even know there's an issue here. What does he mean, the missing ending? This is the last part of Mark chapter 16, starting in verse nine, let me show you right here.

Wait, what did I do that for? Yep, here it is. So it begins in verse nine all the way to verse 20. If your Bible, let's say you have, if you have New King James and King James, there may be a footnote. But if you have ESV, NIV, NASB, NLT, whatever, they will tell you, or they will bracket it and say, these words are not found in the original. Or they're not found in the earliest extent, they should say extent, but some don't say that. They just say, these are not found in the earliest manuscripts.

They should really say they're not found in the earliest extent, means the ones that we have found, like Codex Vaticanus, Codex Sinaiticus, these verses are not there. But even there, we need to clarify what that really means. But maybe one of the shows we can dedicate to this, I would love to, because there's no way I can do justice, because if I start answering that, just forget about the rest of the questions. It's done. There's no way I can answer the rest.

Absolutely. Well, Peter M., thank you for your question. We will get to that in a future episode, my friend.

Thank you for writing in. I just want to think we'd forgotten you, man. On the tales of that, Brandon T., what do you think that T. stands for? Teriyaki. Teriyaki. We're in the food mood today.

Yeah, man. Brandon Teriyaki wants to know, what is your next big textual criticism project? I'm working on a paper right now on Acts chapter 8, verse 37, which I will be presenting in San Diego coming up in November.

Nice. This is a paper where we're looking at the response of the Ethiopian eunuch to the gospel that is presented, because it says right here, when he says, see, here is water. What hinders me from being baptized? And then it says in verse 37, then Philip said, if you believe with all your heart, you may. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the son of God, verse 38. So he commanded the chair to stand still, and both Philip and the Ethiopian eunuch went down into the water and he baptized him. So when the Ethiopian eunuch asked the question, what hinders me, Philip said, believe with all your heart you can, and the Ethiopian eunuch responded, of course I do, Jesus is the Christ. Right.

Jesus Christ is the son of God. Okay. You gave the confession, the message of the baptism. The only problem is verse 37 doesn't exist. It's not there. It's not there. Is that objectively not there or is there some contest about it? It's objectively not there.

Okay. I mean, there are some manuscripts that have stuff like that, and those are Western manuscripts. So that verse found its way in the Bible. To the Western text. To the Western text. You know, we talked about text types sometime back in the Alexandrian, Byzantine, Western, maybe also Caesarian.

So the Western text has it in the Latin tradition has it. So that's why we say that. But in reality, it was simply what hinders me from being baptized? So he commanded the chair to stop and they went to the water. So your next paper, your next big paper will be on that?

Yeah. The paper... And what I'm saying is the confession is not given. And yet the conversion took place. Don't get hung up on the confession. I say that all the time over here.

Ask Jesus to save you. Tell him to forgive you of your sins, come in your heart and all that. We're saying those things to facilitate that, the process, but does not mean that there's a formula to it. As long as your heart is right, how you say it may or may not be important, but the heart should be right. It should be about you recognizing that Jesus is your substitute on the cross.

He is God's son who gave his life for you and only trusting in him, you can be saved. If that's your intent, whether you say, I believe in all my heart or Jesus come into my heart or Jesus be my Lord and savior or Jesus forgive me of my sins. There's no script to follow.

There's no script. You know, you got to be careful when we say, Oh, you didn't say that? You must not be saved. Definitely. I've had people say, you know, I know I'm a Christian, but have you ever prayed to say this, this and this? No, I don't remember saying it like that, but then you need to do it now. Wow.

You have to be careful how you make people doubt their salvation. Definitely. Definitely. Brandon, thank you for the question. Thank you so much for your question, Brandon, Elizabeth P. What do you think the P stands for? Pam. Elizabeth Pam. Elizabeth Pam wants to know who is your favorite female Bible character and why. Oh, that's a, that's a good one.

I have several. I like Ruth. I like Esther.

They're both pretty strong. Esther was a good, well, I don't want to interrupt you. Yeah. I mean, Esther is a good one.

Yeah. Esther was a good one. We did a, I, up until very recently, like maybe a few months ago, I had never read the book of Esther and then we went through it together in our college and career class. And I loved it.

I really loved it. She is a beauty queen and yet she stands for her people in a sense, she delivers them. And that's a great message for us. Yeah.

Very true. Esther and Ruth. Love it. Thank you so much, Elizabeth, for your question.

Moving on. John D. What do you think the D stands for? Diagonal. John Diagonal writes in and says, That actually sounds kind of cool. That does sound kind of cool.

I enjoyed listening to your episode on text types, but I'm still a little confused on what they are and why they matter for the average Christian. We need another episode on that. That's true.

That's true. You're in the deep, like, textual criticism episodes. Maybe you could answer just this because I do get this vibe from people a lot where they're like, I like your show. I like that you talk about deep stuff, but realistically, do I need to know?

Why do I need to know this? I would say, especially in the generation which we're living, where Christianity has taken on a defensive posture, you need to know not only what you believe, but why you believe what you believe. We need to go back to what Peter says. Always be ready to give a reason for the hope that is within you with meekness and fear.

Be ready to give a reason. That's what this whole text types or textual criticism falls into. This is where we're giving a reason why we believe the Bible is the word of God without error.

Great point. We believe in the inerrancy of scripture. There are a lot of Christians who don't believe that.

I wouldn't say a lot. There are many who don't. There are many Christian scholars I respect who don't hold to the inerrancy of scripture what we need to.

And so these are some of the reasons why it's important to learn about text types, learn about textual criticism, understand these issues because our faith hinges on that. That's right. Jon, we're going to answer your question in another episode along with Peter. Thank you for sending him the... Stay tuned, Jon Diagonal. Yeah, don't stop sending those deep questions.

They just might not get answered all the way on lightning round. But moving on. That's you, my friend. Is it?

No, no, it's me. You're right. You're right. You're right. My bad. My bad. James H. wants to know. James H. What do you think H stands for? Humperdink. I'm not saying that.

James Humperdink. I don't have a question. All right.

Well, moving on. Next question. See you, James.

No, I'm just joking. James Humperdink says, I don't have a question, but I did want to write into the show and let you know that I saw you speak in Greenville last week. I knew I recognized your voice from somewhere, but I couldn't remember where. When I got back in the car, I started searching and knew instantly where I ordered a bunch of your devotionals to sell at our church. Nice. Wow. Very cool. Thank you, James. Do you want to kind of mention that you did a speaking engagement this past Friday in Greenville?

Yes. And it was not as much speaking. I was invited to come and share a few things about the book that Nicole and I have written. It's called 30 Days to Praying for Our Nation, 30 Days to Praying for America, Daily Devotions to Heal Our Nation.

And they asked me to say a few things about it. And what I basically said to our people or to the people who were there is, number one, we wrote this because we believe in the power of prayer. Our nation needs prayer, I would say, more than ever.

We are at a precipice. We are facing some very difficult and dark days ahead. Prayer is the only thing that will bring us back. And if we can have spiritual revival, that will help us tremendously.

Even if we struggle financially, even if we struggle in other ways, if spiritual revival comes, man, it means we have life again. Secondly, second reason we wrote is because people have become ignorant of our nation's history. There's a lot of revisionistic history going on. We're trying to clean it out, so to speak.

And so this devotion was written to help people go back to our roots and understand why this nation was founded upon Judeo-Christian values. That's right. I know we need to move on to the next question.

I don't know if James was one of them. I don't think so. But it was crazy to me to see people actually coming up to you in Greenville. This is two hours away from our hometown. We traveled two full hours away, and people were coming and being like, I know your voice.

Yeah, that was funny. Are you on the radio? Are you on the truth network?

I think I listen to you on the radio. Yeah, they say, are you on truth network? And that was what was crazy. So it looks like James was one of those two.

Thank you so much. And then I told them, I said, by the way, you want to see who John is? Yes. I said, that's John right there. I'm in another room like, hey.

No way. And I said, that's Ryan standing with me. Oh, my goodness. I would listen to you all the time. I listen to you all every day. I was like, man, thank you. That's pretty awesome.

Thank you so much for your service and your hard work. Next up is Greg R. What does the R stand for? Regality.

Regality. Wow. Greg Regality wants to know, hey, guys, longtime listener. Our church has been growing over the last few years. Awesome.

Happy for you, Greg. And a few people on the leadership team have been considering beginning satellite campuses. While many are in agreement, there are some who oppose the idea because they want to keep everything in one place.

What are your thoughts? I would say it's a great, great movement that God has used over the past several decades where churches that have really grown and have become very impactful are able to plant these satellites and broadcast their services. And they do have a campus pastor and a team, but then they broadcast the messages and they all fall under this one umbrella, but they are sort of individual, they have the individual personality. So these are satellite churches. We considered that at one time, but we didn't feel like that was the right time for that decision to be made.

We needed to grow and we're growing. I'm not opposed to the idea of satellite campuses, but just need to understand, if you're trying to be like this church with a family feeling and all that stuff, you'll have to expand your horizons at that point and know that I'm not going to know everybody and know that our church now doesn't just belong to us. This belongs to a wider family that you may never, ever see, but they're also part of this family and that's okay. So you have to have that let go mentality.

If you can't do that and you try to control it, you'll kill it. So satellite churches have to have that sense of trust. You have to put the right people in these various places who will not try to build their own kingdom. In the video room! Or in this case, on the satellite campus.

Well, that's the thing. Satellite campus, you better have a video room. One thing I wanted to know about satellite, because I've thought about this a great deal as well. Do you feel like a lot of young pastors or a lot of young church leadership teams want the satellite church because that's what real success looks like? We're so big now that we have to have multiple campuses. I don't want to say bait and switch, but is it like a trap? I think I understand what you're saying.

It's sort of become the natural progression. Once you reach a certain threshold, now you move to satellite campuses. What I mean is a lot of times worship pastors or youth pastors will come in.

They don't want to do that. They want to be pastors, but they're going to use this as the stepping stone because one day I want to become a pastor. They see that as the end goal, not that God is calling them to do what they wanted for their life. Do you think it's the same with churches?

Like, I want to build this little church up into a big conglomerate empire? Yeah, that can be. I think the ones that are really successful at that, because many try it and it falls apart.

I guess we're closing this because we feel like our resources... They didn't know what they were doing. They were not ready for it. They didn't have the right mentality, and it falls apart. But the ones who are successful, I think they have the right mentality. They're not doing it just to become an empire. They're more about influence and impacting. So they put these satellites and they're able to really make an impact. Now I'm not going to say every church that has a satellite campus is making the gospel impact in the world.

Many of them are, because the idea of satellites is so we can expand the reach. So I think many of them have the right mindset, which is the gospel. Some don't. Some just want to be big. But they know how to do it. The ones who don't know how to do it and don't understand what we're trying to do, they just want to be the... Now you're in the in crowd with the satellite campus pastors.

I don't know. I feel sorry for you because you're going to be disappointed. And even if you somehow, somehow you end up getting a satellite campus somewhere, you're going to have a stroke. You won't be able to handle it. It'll be too much. Very true.

The title campus pastor might be trained, but you know what's not trendy? Shutting down. That's true. Yeah. Greg, praying for you, brother.

Hope you make the right decision. Yeah. Nikki B.

What do you think the B stands for? Bacon. Nikki Bacon. Nikki Bacon. Hi, Dr. Shaw. I loved your episodes on tongues this week.

We got more messages on these episodes than we've gotten in a long time. I remember going to a very Pentecostal church when I was young and it really scared me when everyone started speaking in tongues. My daughter recently started going to one in town and wants me to join her.

Is it wrong to feel uncomfortable around this type of behavior when they're just trying to worship God? I remember the first time I saw that. Well, actually the first time I experienced it was in Pune. This is in India.

It's a city where it's known as the education capital of India, of Maharashtra at least, but also India. And my dad sent me there to get special tutoring for college. And so I went there and he said, I want you to go to New Life Church in this and this place. I'm like, oh, okay.

Okay. So I got there and I walked into the church and it was different than our church. And then my dad said, I preached there before.

Great people. The pastor knows you're coming, they're going to take you home for lunch. So make sure you introduce yourself.

They're waiting for you. And I said, I went in there. And the church began. And when it began, they have the group prayer. Everybody prays at one time.

One time. Scared me to death because they started speaking and all of a sudden I was used to dad praying up front. Here, everybody joined in. I'm like, oh my. It's just like a cacophony of sound all around you.

Yes, yes. And there were people from like everywhere in the world, because the educational capital is we have the people from Africa, from Asia, like Korea, China. I mean, everybody's there and they're all praying. And that really got me. And then there were some who were speaking in tongues. I was like, maybe they're speaking in their language. And so it was a little dishelving. And then I told my dad, I was like, that was different. He said, oh yeah, yeah, that's it.

But at the heart, they believe like we do. That's just that one thing you just need to ignore and just spend time. I didn't go as often to that church. But it was different. It was different.

And I still worship with brothers and sisters who are from the Pentecostal background. It's not my thing. And the tongues part, of course, as you know where I stand on that, I don't agree with it. But I try to focus on something else.

So maybe if you go, just do it for your daughter, focus on something else. And that's that. That's right. Man, Dr. Questions, thank you so much for being on the show today. So good to see you again, Dr. Questions. Thank you for coming by the studio. Yes.

Maybe one day we'll see you more than once a week, but for now, it's good to see you on Fridays. Absolutely. We're Lightning Strikes here on The Clearview Today Show.
