Think of me. Hey, look, this is the start of a great week. We got a great week of content for you guys. Coming out swinging. Coming out swinging heavy out the gate.
Dr. Shah's writing a paper. We're going to be talking about that a little bit more as the week goes on. But Ryan, for the first portion of our week, I just got a really quick question for you, my friend. Do you want a million dollars? Oh, baby, it's Million Dollar Monday. Hey, look, I got a great one for you.
A million dollars. But any time you have an insane dream, like you ever just had one of those dreams where you wake up and you go, what in the world was I eating last night? I had one of those this morning. Oh, really? Oh, yeah.
It was it was it was crazy. Any time you have an insane dream, someone from within the dream appears to you in real life and they try to reenact the dream with you. Just insane dreams? Yeah.
Yeah. If you just dream about like being, I don't know, just stressed about paying your taxes or whatever, the IRS ain't going to hassle you in real life. But if you have like one of those crazy, insane dreams. I'll take that. Someone from your dream.
Yeah. It's very rare that I remember my dreams at all. And when I do, they're almost never outlandish. OK. Like it's like I'm stuck in traffic somewhere. So I want to tell you the dream I had and then see how this plays out. This Gavin, my son, Gavin, has been playing tons of Sonic the Hedgehog lately. Loves Sonic the Hedgehog has fallen in love. I dreamt last night because we got him the new the Sonic Generations remake with Shadow the Hedgehog in it.
Right. I dreamt that we were playing that game and somehow we were on like the level radical highway from like Sonic Adventure 2 and Shadow the Hedgehog. I know what that is. He jumped up into this hot air balloon where Amy Rose, like the pink, the pink hedgehog, whatever the girlfriend sees him jumping, thinks that it's actually Sonic. So she grabs him and gives him a kiss on the cheek. And then Shadow gets real angry. And Gavin was like, she shouldn't have done that. That's not her boyfriend. Then I woke up.
That's how crazy it was. OK. So for a million dollars, Amy Rose would like actually appear in real life and try to kiss me on the cheek or and Gavin would be upset about it. Like, like the characters in your dream actually appear and try to recreate. Are you in any physical danger? No, no. In fact, you can tell them to go away. Like, you can just be like, hey, get away from me. You can interact with them as you would.
Do other people see him or is this just a hallucination for me? No, no, no. Reality is upended. Yeah.
They like, like. I would take that. I'd still take that. It's rare that I have like crazy wacko dreams. I have them a lot. I think I eat really bad.
I think I eat poorly before bed. Oh, man. Yeah, I think I'm taking it.
I think I would also take the money as well. But then there's some of those dreams where you like, you really want people. Yeah. I think I think it's like an Inception thing where like those characters in the dream, you don't even notice that they're. But imagine them coming out in real life and be like, did you have did you hide the money? And it's like, what?
What? And you're like trying to it's like trying to remember when you wake up, it's like, did you hide the money? And they pull out like a knife. It's like, dude, what are you talking about? You're like, wait, wait, wait. I think I dreamt about this.
And people around you can see it. I would take the money as well. It would definitely make life a lot more interesting. Yeah.
Yeah. I wonder what he would you think it would take the the dream to reality. I don't even know if he dreams that much.
He dreams like about manuscripts and stuff. Maybe. I don't know. I think in his see in his dreams, if he dreams about like old professors and scholars and stuff, I feel like he could pretty much handle any trouble they would cause. That's what I think. Unless they're like trying to build a spaceship or something. I don't know.
That's the thing is like when you start applying dream logic to the real world, it's like just nothing, nothing will ever come of it. Right. Yeah. I don't know. I think he would take it.
Let us know if you would take that deal. Two five two five eight two five zero two eight or you can visit us online at clear view today show dot com. Stay tuned for more information about the secret word. Oh yeah, we're gonna we got a new secret word kind of thing going on. There's been a lot of drama around the secret word, but we're gonna clear it up today. Our friend David's gonna explain the new rules of the secret word.
That's right. 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. Shah'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. Shah has actually compiled papers for 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 gonna 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 Shah, the daily show that engages mind and heart for the gospel of Jesus Christ.
You can visit us online at ClearViewTodayShow.com, or if you have any questions or suggestions for new topics, send us a text to 252-582-5028. That's right. And we're here once again in the Clear View Today studio with Dr. Abbadon Shah, who's a PhD in New Testament textual criticism.
Dr. Shah, million dollars, my friend. But anytime you have a crazy dream, like just like one of those dreams where you wake up and you're like, what did I eat last night? Someone from within, hold on, hold on. Someone from within the dream appears in real life and tries to reenact it with you. They try to like make it happen in real life.
You can ignore them or tell them to go away. And that was the person in the dream with me. It's just a person.
Yeah. Some random like dream character appears in real life and tries to reenact the dream with you. So let's say you have a dream about you're at the library in Alexandria and then it catches fire. Someone will show up and like try to set a room that you're in. They'll be like, it's you.
It's really you. Now's the time. They like try to set the room on fire or something. And I get how much?
A million dollars. Like what are some of your weird dreams? I feel like I missed the set up for this. This is a one time. No, it's anytime you have a crazy dream.
Okay. Anytime you have a crazy dream, someone from the dream appears to you in real life and tries to reenact it with you. I mean, I've had some weird dreams. Yeah.
I mean, I had one just not too long ago. Joy, our dog was in the dream. I can't remember what was happening. I guess Joy shows up.
She'll show up and she'll be like, here I am. Oh, Joy. Oh, Joy. Yeah. Because sometimes it could be for the good. It's not always going to be bad. Yeah. I've had some weird dreams, but it hasn't been recently. So maybe it'll be a trend. So I'll take the million dollars.
I think I would take it too. I rarely remember my dreams and the ones that I do aren't like, they're crazy, but I'm not in danger. And you don't have to like, you can, you can be like, Hey, get out of here. Go away. I mean, it's just a person of my imagination. Like you can just tell them to go away.
Like they don't have to reenact it or whatever. Like if your dream, if you dream that you're in a food fight, like it, like in school, right? So it happens, it'll happen.
Like someone from your school will show up here at Cleveland and be like, food fight, but you don't have to accept it. You can be like, Hey, get out. Get out of here.
Go sit down. They'll probably do it. I mean, there'll be 15 if that's how they were in the dream. Oh, that's funny. That's crazy. Cool. Well, your million dollars Richard, good job. I'll take it.
I'll take it. Well, the verse of the day today is coming to us from Acts chapter 11 verse 18. When they heard these things, they became silent and they glorified God saying, then God has also granted to the Gentiles repentance to life. Oh, amen to that.
Because guess what? I'm a Gentile. Yeah. That is coming from the Jerusalem council. And that was a big deal in the early church.
And the big question was, what do we do now? Do you, do Gentiles also have to keep the law in order to be part of the family of God right now? Don't think for a moment that that was the point that Gentiles could now be saved. Gentiles could be saved always. And there have been the Jewish people or the people of Israel or the Hebrews or the descendants of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
They were to be a light unto the lost world. So at any time they could be Gentiles could be saved and they were saved. But the Jerusalem council was the point where they no longer had to go through the rituals and sacrifices, not in order to be saved because even Jewish people and his people of Israel were not saved by the rituals and sacrifices.
They were just part of the parameters or the fence that kept them in. It was a tutor to bring them to Christ. It was not the means of salvation. So Gentiles did not keep the law.
Jesus talks about that, right? With the Pharisees. You travel land and sea to make one convert and then you make them a child of the devil worse than you. So it's not that they were keeping the law to be saved, but they would like almost become semi-Jews, right? Semi-Jewish people. The Gentiles that were grafted in.
I got you. So they would now be like, bring a lamb to the Passover. They would keep the burnt offerings. They would keep the peace offerings. They would do all those kinds of things.
They would be circumcised. That was a big deal. Circumcision was a huge deal.
Big battleground. And I would say not for some deep theological reason. It was just very obvious. I mean, you've got to, you know, do we need to do this? I mean, it's painful.
It's embarrassing. Should we do it? And Jerusalem Council was held to decide, do they need to go through the law anymore? And the answer came back, no. Just like you and I don't have to go through the law anymore, Gentiles don't either.
And in time, the Jewish people sort of dropped the law and the sacrifices and the rituals and Gentiles never had to. Wow. We talked about this recently in Illuminate, talking about, like, we started with a list of all kinds of fears.
Like, typically I'll do an icebreaker to hook people. So we started with a list of obscure fears like nyctophobia, anthropophobia, all kinds of dodecaphobia is like fear of the number 13. Hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliaphobia. That one was on there. Should I go ahead and hit this? No?
Should I? Like he's saying, was that the secret word? I'm not going to say which.
Is it? Which one? Did you get, wait, did you say the secret word? I don't know. Maybe I did.
You got to tell him. Which one? Not if you guys don't get the right word. Which one do you think it was?
Oh my goodness. One of those was the secret word. The dicta-whatever-phobia was it? Dodecaphobia? That's not the secret word.
Which one was it? Dodeca is what, like a 12? 13. 13.
Or dodeca is 12. I think you got to give it to Dr. Shaw on that one. He knew good. Dodecaphobia was not, that was not the secret word though.
What were the other ones that you did? Nyctaphobia. Then it's that one. Are you afraid of Nick?
Nope. Nyctaphobia is the fear of darkness. Oh yeah, nyct.
Oh yeah, I knew that. Because there was a haunted house up in New York called Nyctaphobia. The secret word was anthropophobia. Anthropophobia. It's the fear of humans or human company. So we said we were going to talk about the secret word.
Yeah, I didn't like that at all. We said we were going to talk about the secret word in the intro when we forgot. What are the new rules for the secret word segment? I am now the secret word, like, bearer. Like, I'm the secret word czar. I'll take that.
Okay. You're the word czar. I'm the word czar.
I like that. Let's just go with the word czar. Yep, I know what the word czar is. By the way, we're in the world of the whole czar thing come from.
I don't know. I was like, the whole point is to make us not. Why did we borrow that term? Yeah, that's, like, if we don't want to look like a dictatorship, you definitely don't want to call someone the border czar. Yeah, I mean, we were getting rid of that. I heard that word, you know, being used about Kamala. Yeah, yeah.
So I'm trying to figure out, like, where did the idea... So, exactly, I thought they were saying, because Trump, President Trump just elected Tom Homan to be the new border czar. I thought that was them throwing shade. Turns out, no, it's actually called that. That's what it's called, I guess. That's what his title is.
I wish that weren't the case. Anyway, what were you saying? So, I'll be the word czar from now on, because I know what the words are. So, what's happening from this point on is, for the day, I'm sending each person a word. Okay, so today was Ryan's word.
Yes. Tomorrow, it will be your word. Dr. Shah's word on Tuesday. No, no, no. We're going Ryan, John, Dr. Shah.
Okay, well, I want to adjust my schedule. John, Dr. Shah. Here's my question. Yes.
Is it going to travel in an order? Yes, it's always going to be Ryan, John, Dr. Shah. Then we'll always know who's trying to slip it in.
Yes, it's always a game of one against the others. I mean, we can do it. I just figured that it would be like an order, like you know who it is. I thought each of us get a word per day. I thought each of us were going to get a word per day.
Yeah, I would say, what if we just get a word per day? Like everybody gets a word for the episode. And then we're all trying to figure it out.
Figure it out, like who's up. Okay, so I'm the word czar, and this is how this works. Everybody's going to get a word per day. And what we're going to do is... This was originally my idea.
I thought this through, and I think this is the best way. Everybody's going to get a word per day, and everybody has to try to slip it in at some point. I like it.
I like that. Now, the thing is, it's not the same thing. I know we had originally talked about who can get it in the most, or how many times can you get it in. I'm giving y'all like funky words.
So it's not who can do it the most, it's just who can do it. Yeah, anthropophobia coming across my phone was, that was wild. Was that a bald-faced lie? Did y'all talk about that? No, we really did.
A hundred percent. I just saw a segue, and I was like, I can use it. Because my point was, we talked about fears of all of these obscure fears, but it was related to, we're afraid that we're missing something in our relationship with God.
Like, there's some extra step that we're not doing, when really, Jesus accomplished everything on the cross. Yeah, I got you. Cool. Anyways, that really was a tie-in. I got you. It was a little bit ham-fisted to get the word in. Very cool.
Very cool. Well, let's move on to our Clevew current segment. I had no good segue for that.
That's how the secret word's going to work. So you're done for the day. Oh yeah, I'm done.
Got it. Ladies and gentlemen, it's time for the Clevew Current, where we cut through the chaos of today's headlines with a clear Christian perspective. We're here to keep you up to date on what's going on in the world, big or small.
Bro, I love that theme music, man. Comity and 4K stereophonic sound. So, Justice Sonia Sotomayor, or Dr. Shah, is, well, she's not happy. She's a hundred percent not happy. Not happy, Bob.
Why am I not happy? By the way, let me go ahead and get mine in there, because I got stereophonic. Stereophonic is, I don't even think I used it right, of or relating to sound reproduction designed to create the effect of listening to the original. It's like you're actually listening to the news. Turns out some people on the left... I put my word in there, too. What, you did it? What did he say?
Anopistograph. I didn't even hear him say it. Did he really say it? This is ridiculous. We've got to have a better system than this.
We need a better game master. I chose words based on what y'all do. You do musics or stereophonic. You've done psychology in your degrees and stuff, so I gave you a fear. And you do stuff with text criticism and writing. One-sided writing. I can't believe he actually said it out loud and neither one of us got it. Yeah, I don't know.
Anopistograph kind of thing. And everybody's like, oh, so moving along. Yay me. I heard you speak, but I didn't even think. The people on the left, they're trying to oust Justice Sonia Sotomayor. With President Trump's election, they thought, listen, this is kind of morbid. I hate to even talk this way, but if Justice Sotomayor retires or dies, she's 70 years old and they're thinking that if she's out, President Trump will appoint a new Republican justice and stack the court in his favor. So these people who are all about compassion, who are all about kindness and loving people, their plan is to just oust Sotomayor and put someone else in so that Trump can't. Before Biden leaves the office.
Go ahead and get this in real quick. Turns out Sotomayor said, kiss my foot. I'm not going anywhere.
I'm a Supreme. I'm not in those words, but did she really say I'm not interested? She said she's not stepping down.
She has no interest in stepping down. I think this is very indicative of how the left operates. They have this, and again, it's coming from social Marxism, which is do things for the collective. Forget about you as an individual. You are one of the masses, and we as the masses have to deny ourselves, come together to fight for the greater cause. What is the greater cause? Who knows?
Who cares? But somehow I feel justified. Justified because I don't have nothing to live for and fight for. So I am fighting for this ideal. So denying myself and fighting for the collective is the way to go. Until it happens to be you. It has to deny yourself by by stepping out of one of the highest offices in the land, in the world, I would say. The Supreme Court and saying, OK, all right, for the greater good, I'm going to go ahead and bow out. No, I'm saying everyone else would do that.
And I like for me, so I could say in this position of power, I could be mistaken, but isn't getting on the Supreme Court like that's the final move, right? Like there's no career advancement beyond that. That's a big deal. And not necessarily everybody wants to do that. Right.
You know, there are people who would who probably were picked and they say, no, I'm not interested. I got you. It's a different kind of work. Yeah.
It's a great work. But now you are in a whole different category. You have to live in that world. I guess I just can't imagine being on the Supreme Court and then going on to do something else afterwards, like after being ousted or after being asked to retire. BBC put out an article today at the time of recording and it said Senator Bernie Sanders on Sunday acknowledged the NBC Meet the Press that he had heard a little bit of, quote, this is in quotes, a little bit of talk about Justice Sotomayor because a lot of people are saying there's no Democrats anywhere calling for her resignation.
Bernie Sanders is saying, I have heard a little bit of talk about her being asked to step aside, but said calls for her to resign are not sensible. Yeah. Meaning if he's saying there's a little bit of talk, there's probably a lot of talk. Yeah.
It's probably actually happening. This is where you realize this mindset of working for the collective, that individuals, personalities, goals, vision just dissolve for the greater good. It's garbage. This is not how we were made. This is not how God created us to be. And that's why secular Marxism or social Marxism falls apart. I heard someone say one time, I think we talked about it, Dr. Shah, that the sovereignty of the individual is one of the greatest things that the West ever adopted. And it comes from Judeo-Christian principles. Did you see that a lot growing up in India or was it more like Eastern, like collective, let's do what's for the greater good? Because of the British influence in India for several hundred years, I'm not saying the British really transformed India for Christ or anything like that. In fact, they're the ones who often, oftentimes opposed the gospel. Okay. The gospel was not as much opposed by Indians as it was opposed by the British because seeing people come to know Christ means now they're going to come to your church.
Who wants that? Let's leave them Hindus and Muslims and Sikhs and whoever so that we can continue to rule. And that was a foolish decision because in time people got educated and said, okay, you're gone. Yeah.
We're done with you now. Yeah. So it actually backfired horribly. Having said that, it did leave a sense of understanding of capitalism and the value of the individual and those kinds of things. Yes.
In India, there was communism, especially in the South and in the East, like the States of Bengal, West Bengal or Kerala, they have the communist party and very, very strong. Those red shirts were everywhere. Yeah. But that's where that mindset comes from. Yeah. Great point.
For the collective, you have to sacrifice yourself. This is sort of a departure, but not really because we're still talking about the importance of Christianity and faith in politics. But did you see where today, at the time of recording this, today, President-elect Donald Trump actually appointed the next US ambassador for Israel? And as someone kind of cool, someone kind of special, someone we know, which is really wild to say. Someone who sat in this very room about two feet away from Dr. Shah.
Maybe what, two months ago? If that. If that. And that's Governor Mike Huckabee. That was crazy. That's right.
I had people texting me just a couple hours ago and say, hey, did you just watch the news? Sending me pictures of screenshots of the TV, of the news of Governor Mike Huckabee being picked for ambassador to Israel. That is amazing.
That is really cool. I can't think of anybody better. No, not at all. Anybody better. Absolutely. President Trump said, Mike has been a great public servant, governor and leader in faith for many years. I completely agree.
I know I speak for all of us. He loves Israel and the people of Israel and likewise, the people of Israel love him. Mike will work tirelessly to bring about peace in the Middle East.
Can I tell you something? I believe him. I believe he'll do it. I mean, he's not only a politician, a good one, but he's also a pastor. He understands scripture. He understands peace, the importance of peace. He also understands the importance of the ethnic Jewish people.
And so I think he's got a good balance. He loves people. So it's not like he is, oh, I am all for Israel.
Everybody else can destroy yourselves. No, he is for all people. But at the same time, he also understands the value of standing for Israel.
What a balance. His daughter is the current governor of Arkansas. And she was quoted saying, I went to Israel for the first time with my dad when I was 11 and it changed my life. There's no one President Trump could have picked with a greater love for the Israeli people and commitment to the unbreakable bond between America and Israel than him.
And then she posted, love you, dad. What's interesting is I think anyone who's been to Israel can relate because when you go there, there's something about it. It truly changes your life.
It changes the way you see God's people. I've been there four times planning on going again. I mean, especially now planning on going, I mean, stop by and see Governor Mike Huckabee.
I just want to say hello. We should ship him some poptarts to Israel. Tell us about the listeners.
Tell us about the poptarts. We had Governor Huckabee on the show maybe two months back. We'll actually link to that episode in this show. But a lot of times we do these silly intros and stuff. And so a lot of times when you have people who are in politics, they're used to doing really to the point, very serious, almost accusatory interviews. So if you try to joke with them, sometimes they'll be like, oh yeah, I don't know about that.
I'll have to think on that one. So we did it with Mike Huckabee and I said, you know, a million dollars, but anytime you go and do like a formal black tie event or a banquet or a fundraiser, you have to bring a bunch of poptarts. He's like, I'll eat those poptarts any day of the week. Like he'd been waiting for that answer or waiting for that question his entire career. He was like, oh man, the food at those banquets, there's nothing to write home about.
It's trash. He looked at me and was like, am I right? I was like, yes, you're 100% right. Because yes, the food at some of those big banquet halls once in a while you find something good.
If not, most of the time you're finding dry chicken, roast beef that is cold green beans. He got so into the question. He, we kept going. And then I was looking at the clock. I was like, this is only a 30 minute show.
We have one shot to do this. We can't spend half the episode talking about poptarts. So I was like, it was funny at first, but then I was like, I think we're really about to blow our episode. Just talking about poptarts with Mike Huckabee. But he was so easy to talk to. He was, he was, he did not, he was not like shocked and like, no, what are you talking about?
None of that. He was just very casual. He was very, and very intelligent, very much so very, very intelligent, articulate person.
Yes. They're relatable. Very, I mean, he jumped right in and brought everything back to faith and, and faith's role in politics, which I appreciated. And I know that's, you know, that's on our heart here, the Clearview Today show, especially yours, Dr. Shah. Faith and politics should not be separated from one another.
In fact, the political world that we have today is built upon faith. Oh yeah. There's a lot of times when you do interviews with people where you can feel, maybe it's not subconscious, maybe it's not conscious, but there's like, they're almost trying to create a little bit of distance between the interviewer and themselves. With him, I felt the exact opposite.
It was like, he sat down and his goal was to make us feel like friends. Right. And I was like, man, for a Christian leader to do that with people that, you know, he doesn't, he could have come in, done a 30 minute interview, walked out, but it was, it felt like he went out of his way to make us all feel like friends. And I very much appreciated that.
Yeah. We were very grateful to him for willing to come on the Clear View Today show, but he didn't know about the show. He didn't know anything about it. And then he was informed. He said, Hey, this is a great show. This goes over tri-state. I mean, it's in South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia. And so he was like, yeah, absolutely.
I'll do it. And he came in here and the only thing he asked for was, cause he is so popular. We were in the meeting with him and several people were speaking. He's like, when's the meeting over? Make sure you get somebody to get me out of there so I can be in the show with you. He's like, cause sometimes people come and talk and I don't mind that.
It just, you know, then I won't have time to do this cause I'm flying out in a couple of hours. So I was like, I put two guys on him.
