I have anything it's come up with one of our guests anything you've read from me when interactive question common concern, 866-348-7884. Go to the phones momentarily, but if you think of it. If you think of me anytime in the next 10 days just lift up her prayer for grace tomorrow.
I'm scheduled to leave for New Zealand and then New Zealand starting there with a tour New Zealand one day and then five more days in Australia. I think a total of like nine different flights in 10 days, including a few fights 15 hours and city to city within the countries there to pray that the Lord will really stir hearts were addressing cultural issues, and the church of the needs are great.

Let us go to John in Indianapolis, Indiana. Welcome to the line of fire. Sec. directly at Yankovic to question one in your book (Omar, you pointed out very well. Did a great great character and it mean not. Enabling the paper coordinate, but his power to know and act like you have a great book hyper raised. I would love to see you write a book. Dr. Brown on hypo grace because some people really diminish the meaning the biblical I think it significant of God's grace and I make it less than it actually is.
Might be a bad idea, but that was it.
The thought I had that but a book on hypo grace. Second, I've always wondered about Paul wrote the Ephesians.
Second Grade on.
He figures saved by grace through faith, not of yourselves. It's a gift of God, can a man boast in all that. But then he will chemically who was the after. I believe at Ephesus and eight chemically continuing the document Daniel save yourself. And so I thought well that it can be contradictory anyway. So I got a self-study want to consult Dr. Brown keep yourself in the love of God keep yourself from idols. Keep yourself pure. You know, you clarify yourself by obeying the truth in Peter and all in honor not only about self, save yourself in the script generation. It was Peter in chapter and so when I did I found that I had to write a book on this failure record taken felt definition in the dictionary it when you or I or anybody take on take on was so intimately associated with someone else. We take on their traits, their characteristics, just to please jump in because obviously a lot to cinema the influence of the closer you get to the question of it. It's interesting many hyper grace teachers to understand much about grace.
Some have a wonderful revelation about grace and will emphasizes not simply unmerited favor, but also God's empowerment to live above sin. However because it's presented in exaggerated ways or other parts of Scripture left out or misinterpreted.
The message can be mixed and therefore dangerous but yet salvation is a free gift from God that cannot be earned, and it is received by faith we don't work for an and we don't work to keep it in terms of if if I pray enough gobble except me if I read the Bible enough gullible, except me. If I live a holy and of life. Double except me know where saved by grace and By grace but that keeping is something that we participate in with the Lord and and number one just for own well-being. We are absolutely called to live a certain way for own well-being so that we persevere in the fullness and wholeness of the gospel. And yes there are warnings where we could literally forfeit the grace and gifts that God has given us by despising who he isn't turning away from him so it's a free gift, but a free gift that comes with responsibility and thank you sir.
It looked Yolanda thoughts you might want to write your own book there at 86634 let's go to Sugarland, Texas, Tom wrote, welcome to the line of fire. Background area doing very well thank you.
Question question why that bottle now (okay generation by Christians meant that Limbaugh fallen short of the glory of God. Now I think it might well a lot. What now I've heard people say that I'm not one of John Y and 90 F.that you thought yeah so the second question I've never read it like that. I do have friends that are breaded like that the words Lord coming to me would mean that there was an actual theophany.
There was a divine appearance that it was the son of God who is the word made flesh in Jesus. That was the son of God coming to them and I don't really like that. I read that they received a message that they receive this message from the Lord. It was the word Lord coming to them and I see the word used in that way many times in Scripture. As for being perfect. The Hebrew word Tom me it speaks of completeness in my Job translation I translated is full of integrity. The word Tomball is integrity so Tom is full of integrity of the words wholehearted and complete.
So know what Job were wholeheartedly and completely serving God.
There was, not hypocrisy, duplicity, they were fully devoted to the Lord and yet still imperfect in terms of God's perfection to be perfect in the New Testament senses to emulate the father's example, and in Matthew 540 80. He's kind and loving to the center and to the saints alike because this is rain suit to fall on the just and the unjust and we need to follow his example of wholehearted love and wholehearted devotion so obviously we want to be perfectly sanctified, so that we never sin and thought, word and deed. We will not realize that until he returns. And we are resurrected and are with him forever. And in that resurrected glorious state, but to be perfect in this sense, is to wholeheartedly follow obey without hypocrisy without duplicity and in this case. Matthew five to follow the father's example of showing love even to our enemies. So thank you for the questions. I appreciate the 86634 let's go to Boise Idaho J. Welcome to the line of fire Oracle you're very welcome for the question about euphoric names in the Bible are specifically I was wondering what the first euphoric name generally was like a personal call upon God, and I wondered what the first euphoric name to call upon him by name would be like using the agreement on right so a C 1/4 name is a name that contains the divine element, so my name Michael is the a fork. Mihai ale who is like God ale is God of the name Elijah is the euphoric LE Yahoo my God is Yahweh. So many of the names in the Bible. Orth euphoric Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Hezekiah Joe side name after name after name or euphoric, they can some they can be shortened. That's called a hypocrite wrist stick with the name was shortened so you have these hypocrites to see her for things we don't have the full divine element, but if if I'm looking out in the Bible for the first few euphoric name. It's not Adam and is not Eve is not Seth is not able so as as I'm going through the list and in Genesis 5 of names that view the first place. I look to see where the first year fourth name occurs in the was a name that has AL or Ya unit something like that of and then from there so so the first time you have so would it be a Mahal L in in in 513, or is the L they are related, so they'll suppose was looking and trying to figure that out.
So we just actually look because I never asked the question as to what was the first few euphoric name, but in Hebrew yeah so that that it was prayer. It's probably Mahal L would be the very first euphoric name that that references L unless I'm a missing something there and then it's around this time that people are calling out to the Lord of so what I didn't quite follow his. Yes, for the first euphoric name calling on Yahweh by name. So the first person recorded as doing that he was yelling his name.
Is that what you're asking yeah like how LE Yahoo doesn't just have L, but also have a Yahoo card with the first one to actually contain the ramp on okay the first few fork name got it all clear that contains the tetra Gaza I have to I have to start going through things and thinking about it most likely it's going to be somewhere after Exodus where where God re-reveals himself or Bree reveals the fullness of his name and character so that you have that the Yahoo Ya your whole names. These are all coming from that divine element begin CFR a can be just like Michael. As I said because I L who is like God but specific names that have the Yahweh element in it where the first one is calling upon him by name that have to check this is an interesting question. But thank you thank you Fred, thank you Phil with euphoric names were most would appreciate it up there was a whole chapter in my doctoral dissertation on few fork names that have the raw font element like Rafael God is the healer most likely king I saw his name was short for also ale or also Ya which would be the always on your headlines. 663 gives the line of fire with your host Dr. Michael Brown, the line of fire now by calling 866-34-TRUTH. Jim is Dr. Michael Brown direction Rabbi from Brooklyn preacher frugality event that changed the world.
You will find to be a tremendous eye opening read comes out March 3 to be one of the best tools we've ever put together to reach Jewish people with the good news of the Messiah and one of the most fascinating reads for you as a follower of Jesus, you can order sign the recopy on the website ask Dr. Brown dog orc. All right, let's see where we go next. Durham, North Carolina Mark, thank you so much for calling the line of fire by Dr. Brown. I had a question about 23 and it goes up on Mount Sinai and he received the 10 Commandments a lot of other laws concerning the tabernacle of God and in my study Bible commentary said that the tabernacle was to be like a representation or model or pattern after heaven and I know that Moses and the priest or the elders. He took up there and people were also kind of pattern after stuff in the New Testament or the New Testament with pattern after them is in you with our high.
And though when Jesus died on the cross curtain of torn between the holy place of the most holy which would change the layout of the temple pretty fundamentally tabernacle and I was wondering, does that indicate something and have been changed. I didn't really know how to interpret that right.
So of course you have the tabernacle, then you have the temple and you can be assured that once this was rent. This would be a desire to fix it repaired immediately by by Jews that were there and we don't have the rest of that record.
But the idea of just leaving it rent open when the been an option but but Hebrews really does address this right so if if you go to Hebrews the ninth chapter really starting the seventh chapter so very relevant. But it says this is not one of the first covenant also had regulations for ministry in an earthly sanctuary that he goes through everything right and then it says of verse six with these things set up this way the priests and to the first room repeatedly performing their ministry of her seven but into that the inner holy space once year the coding to go high priest, along goes, not without blood, which he offers for himself and for the unintentional sins of the people by this. The Holy Spirit makes clear with the way into the holy says not yet been revealed for the first had to still standing. It's a symbol for the present time so it relates to ritual washings cleansings but the way into the holy place was usually of access the high priest once year. No one else going there but verse 11 when Messiah appeared as Keohane got Dolson was high priest of the good things that have now come passing through the greater and more perfect tent not made with hands, that is the sin of this creation.
He entered into the Holy Spirit wants for not by the blood of goats and calves with by his own blood, having obtained eternal redemption for the blood of bulls and goats in the ashes of a heifer sprinkling those who been defiled, sanctify for the cleansing of the flesh, how much more will the blood of Messiah, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without blemish to God, cleanse our conscience from dead works to serve the living God.
So Mark that's telling us that the Messiah through his blood enters the heavenly tabernacle and brings cleansing the air of what had been defiled by Satan's fall, etc. brings cleansing there and that is now symbolized by either the the torn curtain. So when he dies on the cross that pays the way that opens the door that brings the cleansing and then Hebrews 10 builds on that and says that we now have access to the most holy place, and in Hebrews 4 talks about how we go to the throne of grace and have access there to what size done so that's the symbolism. It is the physical representing what happened in the spiritual realm. It happens on the cross that accorded he resigned. He actually goes into heaven itself with his blood to bring cleansing. There he thank you for the question. Much appreciated. By the way, I remember reading Leviticus many years ago and being just frustrated for lack of spiritual insight and then I spent some time praying and fasting that I went through Hebrews and then went back to Leviticus and boy did it open up for me.
Thank you sir, 866-34-TRUTH of your Winston-Salem North Carolina.
Scott, thanks for calling the line of fire. Our user doing very well thank you max out somebody greater than me none question is about the body and remain part lighthouse right and wrong. Christ is the head of the body and 8% of their part by the one that was analogy review Nanette that I had to have management business. It is mainly a part of the body of Christ are just certain things that are not yet soon so first yes Christ is the head of the church. So we see is the head of the body. You don't want to look at it in the physical sense that we are the church is a headless body in itself. You know that were just arms and legs and torso, and feet. Things like that. And Jesus is is the brains of the eyes and the ears of those because when Paul is talking about the parts of the body.
He's including every part of the body. You know the eyes the years that is as is split Messiah, the head is that the one that rules the one that rains the one under whom we serve and within the body. The manifestation is given for the common good and 20 could be tongues into another could be prophecy to 21.
It could be showing mercy to another could be leading that everyone is gifted by the Spirit in some way for the good of the body.
There are certain gifts we refer to as charismatic gifts or sign gifts and sometimes those of distinguished prescriptions 12 is distinguished from Romans 12, but then again they both mention prophecy right so every member of the body is gifted in some way by the spirit but not all may have received manifestation of these quote charismatic gifts listed first with installable though I believe there available trouble were part of the body through salvation not through manifesting a gift. In other words, if you don't speak in tongues you don't prophesy you don't heal the sick, don't have supernatural leadership gifts of things like that as many are any less part of the Bible part of the body 100% because of the death and resurrection of Jesus, and through faith in him we are grafted in in the living parts of his living body in every part of the body plays a vital role. Thank you sir, 8634 truth. Becky is it square more scream Washington and Sequim psychoanalytic you write well I'm sure you're you've been asked that question before.
I apologize for asking it, but a scrim. I do just a little of her scrim help how big a community as it our out here on the Olympic finance ally in Northwest Washington at the beautiful hurricane Ridge mountains and everything out here. It's just really lovely work where west of the Cascade Mountain and what's the population. Sequim on you're asking the wrong person and I don't know. I'm sorry was not a subtle community. It's like a capital a capital retirement community allow Californians come up here and the lovely place will have to look it up just me Sequim will will get my attention all right yes your gums are your client, your question yes I have a question. First of all I just want to thank thank you so much for your balance and understanding of the Scripture that been found you for a while and and I know you're in a position where you get a lot of flak but II just love the program and and thank you so much for what you give to my question is about time curious what I'd like to hear what your theology is about the rebuilding of the temple in relation to me in relation a coming of Christ and the antichrist being set up by my medic, pretrip believer, but I'm not really sure about me at our post trip.
You know how that is for the believer but and and as far as you know that when when Christ does common to the temple. It is there and the sacrifices, what would be the meaning of the sacrifices because you know I believe that Messiah sacrifice is ultimately filling all of the sacrifices of the Old Testament so you know I was thinking a lot with that before any we designed union as remembering his death and suffering with a just be a inner symbolic of like data, remembering his ultimate sacrifice so you know, in the scheme of things just, you know, the follower price.
How how the events the third temple Antichrist and the coming of Messiah, how they fall yet so number one all impeachment.
Yet, little one.
We are looking for the return of Jesus as opposed to looking for a rebuilt temple. Nonetheless, I believe, based on a number of scriptures that there will be 1/3 temple built in this age and that it will be a place where the antichrist seeks to declare himself as is God.
So I do believe it's going to happen, but I'm not thinking about Jesus can't return without that happening.
I am quite sure as is you are not pretrip either. With all respect my tree pretrip friends. So I understand from second Thessalonians 2 that the, the antichrist will be revealed that we will see him right that there will be great apostasy, and along with that great movie of God a great harvest of will see these things happening, but as for a literal temple. I believe there will be one, but I I'm not one of those it's like eagerly following the news. It is getting rebuilt what's happening we we shall see. The bigger question is when you raise about the millennial Temple. There are many who do not believe in a physical literal millennium, they would say. Rather, it is a spiritual kingdom over which the Messiah rains and all of these passages like Ezekiel 40 through 48 or symbolic to speak of worship and approach to God and things like that.
It and I respect that. I understand the different ways of looking at things because if you say that there will be a literal temple built in the millennial kingdom.
Why sacrifice dresses question a lot of written on it as well. File line of fire with your host Dr. Michael Brown get into the minor fire now by calling 866-34-TRUTH here again is Dr. Michael Brown Friday. Pray for me as I leave gobbling for New Zealand and Australia on this coming Saturday so tomorrow and we got some special guest hosts that will be joining you next week.
You don't want to miss a broadcaster get some special shows pre-record as well. Small record gobbling from Australia. Pray for grace can be very intense. Trip lots of travel day after day city to city and we just with the Lord to really touch the precious believers they are right. Becky had asked before the break.
Why would there be 1/3 temple in the millennial kingdom. Many prophecies point in that direction, especially one with sacrifices so there are several answers that are given out. One is instrument people coming to certain place to worship God together from around the world so temple would be a fitting thing there something wrong with that itself is when it becomes idolatrous or within wrong ways. But if that's a place where people will come together to worship God, you have a place they can worship that's fine why sacrifices some would say that they are memorials, just as the Old Testament sacrifices pointed forward to Jesus that sacrifices the future would point back to him. Others have a big problem with that, based on the language of Hebrews, and what would seem to be the ones for all sacrifice of the cross.
Why would you need sacrifices in the future for any reason, this fulfill the whole purpose of them is a very very valid point to reason one that I've wondered about many a time, so another view would be one of the sacrifices and offer forgiveness of sins or atonement that the Old Testament sacrifices had to do with ritual washing cleansing is like that but did ultimately not bring the forgiveness that only comes through the cross of they have a separate category and others would simply say it symbolic language.
It's not to be taken literally as far as I know we will understand as the things unfold. In other words a lot of things about the future are clear and a lot of things will become clear as they come to pass. So that's right. I leave it in all honesty he thank you Becky for calling 86634 coal in New Castle, Indiana. Thanks for calling the line of fire are dark brown thanks Raven may hire a two-part question kinda related her soft classical apologetics or preset additional which do you think is more effective.
Give me an hour each. And secondly, if a Jewish believer approached you and their biggest objection to Jesus as Messiah was that the element of human sacrifice, and obviously Jesus was fully man and fully God, what would you say to okay so let's answer the second question first time other Jewish person who doesn't believe and they would say we don't believe in human sacrifice, even if we needed the temple, even from the blood sacrifices without leaving human sacrifice. I so needed. Why absolutely, categorically, do not rest a rather son of God laid his life down on our behalf, and I would point them to the scriptural precedent of the righteous dying for the unrighteous points into Isaiah 53 and was spoken of their and then I would point them to the well if if if there religious Jews. They notice tradition. If you're not religious. They may know they may not. There is a well known Jewish tradition that the death of the righteous atones for the sins of the generation that the death of the righteous can pay for the sins of that generation. So if we could people will repent, then God will show mercy to them through the death of that righteous person when I learned these traditions because I didn't grow up knowing them. I was an absolute shocker for me.
I mean talk about preaching the gospel loudly and clearly in volume 2 of answering Jewish objections to Jesus.
I have a full answer on that. So it's objection 3.15. I believe, or in real kosher Jesus, I have a whole chapter on the theory, the atoning power of the death of the righteous or if you don't own either of those two books and you can access them. Then when you sign up for my emails at at Astor to Brown.org escape your Brown.org you get a free copy of the e-book seven secrets of the real missile that of room so that excerpts from the real kosher Jesus and as as a result of that you'll get a short statement with some of the key Jewish traditions about the atoning power of the death of the righteous white sands on tradition teaches that the Bible does the atoning power that the righteous it would be like someone who's a multibillionaire and and and there are 10,000 people at all hundred thousand dollars and are about to be thrown in jail for it and he says hey I'll cover it up pay for all of it they go free and now if they don't respond. Repeat those mistakes are free and clean well the Messiah and his righteousness can pay for all the sins and crimes of the entire human race. That's a righteous and perfectly so he takes our place to biblical concept and Jewish concept. As for presupposition versus classical apologetics. It is first what works them in their arguments both ways.
To me, on the one hand, I'm putting my confidence in the power of the word of God and the power of the gospel in that sense I can simply proclaim what is true and believe that God will open hearts and open minds and base my apologetic on that. At the same time I realize that many people going to come in with questions just about the veracity of Scripture or their name, you listen to me quote a verse because they have so many issues with the Bible, in which case I might need to build from the ground up. I might need to build from step one of the existence of God and it.
In other words, get them thinking to the point that they now open their heart CS Lewis has described intellectually going for an atheist to a theist, but then by faith, becoming a Christian and being born again so to me. I I've seen both work effectively. It's ultimately the Holy Spirit who does the work through the word of God. But in so many ways we can get people to a point where they're willing to hear the message and that's were sometimes classical apologetics can can come in more a colt. Thank you for the questions. May the Lord usually touched you and Gentile alike. All let's see all right over to Alex in Wichita, Kansas. Welcome to the line of fire about.
Thank you.
You're amazing and I know you got it you could do what you do with thanks or I might at all yet quickly quickly. I do have a question, but I wanted to ask you. I believe the Lord let me to call you. I never calling any anybody, but I grew up in Chicago on the street went to prison for drug gang, I kept along nine years old and surviving to all that like I forgot about him. He never meet got out try to take my life up a personal train service to Chicago. I ended up joining a lot of people there including then USA tender Barack Obama. The only reason I'm saying this is something to remember me by written a book entitled on the edge. It would be an honor.
If you read it someday and I'm working on a manuscript right now about all inmate meeting and supernatural things that the Lord is done in my life.
You sound like somebody that would understand.
I was wondering if I might be able to send it to you. Yeah, sure thing. I love to be able to read it but I'm a multiply backlog with request to read things, but the church simply send it our way, and the address to contact us is on the website*your Brown.org with the Lord's gracious and amazing and yeah if if we all put all her stories out there in full as it says in John's Gospel, you wouldn't be able to. The world can contain all the books that could be written about what Jesus has done the city just many centuries the mega so yet his art soon after your your questions are current, where Paul go to an do they think shall not inherit the kingdom of heaven which include drunkenness, homosexuality, all he thinks he talking to believers or nonbelievers. Yet he saved the galaxy. Speaking of people that is who they are. That is their lifestyle. That is, with a persistent so he got us in verse 11. That's what some of you were but it would be a warning either way.
In other words, if someone thinks while Jesus died on the cross to forgive me so I can live.
However, I want to live. I can live in adultery and drunkenness and and and beating people up. I can be a serial rapist. Whatever. And, and I inherit the kingdom of of having just the same.
The kingdom of God.
Just the same policy know you don't. Some would say that person was never really saved some would say that person forfeited their salvation.
Some would say if there truly say they will repent. But for sure those who persistently live like that. That is very nice though. That is who they are. There is not repentance. There's not looking to God to help this away before I was saved I was a proud center.
Yet I was proud should I care what I was I was probably lying and stealing was proud of the way I lived. That's very different than someone who loves the Lord's is gone. Struggling I'm hurting.
I'm having problems help me and they keep falling God's amazingly gracious and amazingly patient and an amazingly long-suffering with us so those that are defiant rebels. He saying you won't inherit the kingdom of God's mercy and grace for everyone to the cross.
Hey Alex, thank you for sharing with the Lord's done in your life would appreciate it. 866-34-TRUTH of its go to Ron in Wake Forest, North Carolina. Welcome to the line of fire. After also wondering about Dr. Brown I wanted know how difficult it will walk with God the son found the flock.
I'm just going through the motions. Yeah, and that can happen and he desires it a deeper walk with us. You know Ron, it's it's really not complex.
It's just like with a human being that if you want to de-develop a deeper relationship. We spend focused quality time with them. We prioritize it you. You'll have husbands and wives, and they been married for years, and they've got a bunch of kids and they're so busy and they realize the, drifting apart the relationship there just functioning you know I'm not mom the mommy on the daddy on the how the wife the husband and and the the intimacy of the relationship. The closeness is in there.
So with some of you will have a date night in a one night a week they go out to get a babysitter and they just focus on each other. They don't bring cell phones with them so we do the same thing wrong with the Lord we make a determination all right.
I'm going to spend quality time with God a minute. Turn off the TV because the computer turn off the tablet. So, for whatever amusement quality time with God on the spent time reading the word and is a read the word and talk to the Lord about what I found to be effective is not just to read through the Bible, but to talk to the Lord about what I'm reading and then I spend quality time in prayer. I pour my heart got a got a million questions.
This is going on that's going on and then I worship him and I praise him if you will do that consistently and set aside time it might be 1/2 hour one day, which feels like 20 years to get through within 1/2 might become in our to its focused and you shut out other things, not just kind of a little quick prayer driving the car.
Some like that you'll make that going on on your use absolutely will thank me Douglas. It's the line of fire with your host activist, author, international speed and theologian Dr. Michael Brown voice of more cultural and spiritual revolution get into the line of fire now by calling 6643 here again is Dr. Michael Brown friends so I just posted about who may or for Mayor Mike Bloomberg really is. Is he a moderate compared to more extreme Democrats were his views on abortion and religious liberties. How should Christian conservatives view him just up on screen.org with Christian conservatives need to know about Mike Bloomberg. Be sure to share that and will read for yourself and then share it with others.
Let's go over to Hawaii, Israel, welcome to the line of fire hello and God bless. Dr. Brown hello how yet in Mackey six Jesus said when you give to the needy. When you pray, and when you fast and I a fact being done in the New Testament.
In acts 13 when they said apart, Barnabas and Saul in acts 14 as well. My question is, is fasting a command for Christian, yet the wording of it is interesting I would say it's a divine and strong divine invitation, but it was kind of taken for granted it in in the context which was spoken in other words, religious people fasted regularly, you either had fast with certain holy days like Dave atonement or the Pharisees with fast two days a week early Christians with Fest two days a week, but other than the days. The Pharisees did just as kind of a distinction of so it it it was very much a way of life just like everyone would pray that was religious. Everyone would give that was religious.
Everyone was fast. That was religious, and religious in the best sense of the word, but it's not a command that were commanded to pray over and over and over in the New Testament were commanded to be people of the word were commanded to love one another. When I commanded to fast. I look at it more as as a divine invitation a divine calling. It is certainly something very important in terms of separation to God and discipline and things like that and deepening our prayer not to earning it.
But you make your whole life of prayers we deprive ourselves of other things for God with my whole being cry out to you but I don't look at it as a command it to say, when you fast, so it's assumed that your fasting but not a command gutsy, you must fast will. How many days is it one day is in a month as it is it one day a month. Is it one day a week is at once a year a command. In that sense. Under the new covenant, but I look at it as a divine invitation and open-door. Thank you. You are very welcome 866-34-TRUTH and by the way, by the way, I may answer a question to certainly use it yet, while a little yes this I agree others might answer like to think about and I love you my different is fine as is not differing on the essentials we can have differences within the body. On other issues. All right, let's see if we go to Chesapeake, Virginia Larry, thank you for calling the line of fire like talk with your doctor bro. Thank you God. Try to make my record as we are.

Yeah Jews for Jesus etc. etc. in an otherwise I'll just want to make sure you I'm calm, positive viewpoint. I'm also okay mom. Also, math instructor and I bit down and not look at Harris fear and I used to be a futurist and now I'm a cretin and I spent my article to you is entitled in math instructors look at the eschatological announcement of the current fear and I know you're very busy.
I appreciate and I just wanted to put a plug-in for that article if perhaps if you don't look at it one of your team can look yeah I'm laughs. Absolutely Larry you first thing like a respectful tone, and I so appreciate your graciousness and humility in presenting things like that that this is this really honoring a few thank you and I received taking this seriously. So when did you send the article. While I can't say exactly because I've been to numerous people to various agency of religious group. I sent it to Phoebe and got it all right what's I would Larry and all you if you will go to her website and asked her to Brown.org you will you write it and it's the info and asked Dr. Brown.org and and when you right there you get a form response immediately that I can personally sponsor everything but if you say hey I have an article spoke to Dr. Brown the radio want to send it to him and send a link or the article, someone will get back to you and I assure you that if I don't read it that someone qualified on my team will read it and bring it to my attention so it Larry, thank you and may the Lord got us all in our pursuit of truth, hey, I'm just looking at the Facebook comments and Chad want to address you directly.
You said that when the woman was from Christ. Lyman had the perfect opportunity to correct drive no problem giving us corrections to distribute ministries that tell the truth. Chad I correct the servant ministries that lie that lie circled the servant ministries I to call out one yesterday of a did so on the air, but it's it's despicable on some outlying untold amount I write an article saying I categorically different with this is wrong and they write an article saying Brown endorses and will correct until about lying latent line and when I confront them directly rather than humble themselves. They lie more okay those the ones I correct or correct those. This was a wrong and destructive spirit.
Okay the fact you call this woman a witch. All right, this wonder how you know that so you are stepping way beyond healthy bounds in the ministries.
I call out or destroying people with error with misleading information. There are some that are sincere and just misguided and I appreciate that there are some that are just on charismatic and of a master problem with the things of the spirit okay and and and other client abuses in the charismatic for decades, long before minis people even relook at was going abuses for decades. The fighting is when I name names when I read a book like hyper grace and I differ with this, this, this, and I quote the people by name right individual quote I name this this this this this okay and and I do that but no that's not that's not sufficient when actors go through their list of people that they don't like and if I don't damn them to hell if I select personable. He was a brother but I differ with you, although I must damn them to help so they woman they names until I name their names is very interesting. Brown name names okay under the name urethane for being divisive and destructive and lying about that little like that. Okay. But I'll do that for the sake of the body. Listen if you only knew the ugliness that comes our way we speak the truth, so called, the servant ministries Atlas Junior sent. I honor my friend Dr. James White.
We have differences in and he'll critique people that are friendly with you and any knows I have some differences with them.
Yes, more differences, that's fine.
Okay ill let there be discernment. The letter to be determined based on truth and love was we tear down the don't build up so the purpose of me having Jenny on the show of those whom he Jenny and Kevin's Jenny who join me was to ask her questions and interest that was the purpose I've been in contact with them. Subsequently and explain concerns and have asked for a clear statement of exactly what they preach the gospel they preach. They assured me that they are Jesus loving people that serve as elders in the church but lectured Bible colleges and they just have this outreach to the new agents there were many things that were raised in the show. The deeply concerning was prominently why what I did not hear was a lack of a clear gospel message that deeply concerning for obvious reasons, and some of the methodology deeply concerning for obvious reasons. So I bit the purpose having them on the air was to let them share their viewpoint and to ask honest questions.
That's what I did okay number one that I posted my views immediately after that.
I explained my views were included in the next day and then I've been in private contact since all right so I will say once again I am far more concerned with the damage done to millions of Christians by some of the so-called discernment ministries that trash the sacred things of the Holy Spirit that deny many plain verses in Scripture promising us, God's gracious work of the Spirit today that bear false witness against brothers and sisters that freely slander and lie and I have documented.
I documented online yesterday just to demonstrate something. I mean, specifically I was accused of this and was 1% false. This this this, each 100% false. I look if I spent my time replying to credit you never hear from you again. I spent all my time with endless battles and the ones I'll interact with the ones that show integrity and that are willing to say wow I misrepresent your let me fix that many correct that.
But the ones that have disqualify themselves to lack of enteric integrity is specifically some that I've mentioned on the air and called out absolutely 100% that I can get my time, my energy because there are a lot of people who want to help them bless and serve and encourage and I will not play the hyper critics game of damning this one to Helen that want to hell because they seem to have an aberrant practice here. There if they whole and I'll I'm just talking generally here someone holds to the fundamentals of the gospel, the death and resurrection of the Lord Jesus, salvation only through his blood, repentance and faith is the foundation of faith.
The Bible is an errant authoritative word of God all right and and they have demonstrated a born-again life as followers of Jesus. If I differ with one of their emphases all say so if I have an issue with one of their practices all say so that I will not. Damn them to hell and determine that because of this aberrant belief here because they may put too much emphasis on prosperity, but they preach a sound gospel soccer like a dam and tell if they are good to preach a false gospel then they are ready. Damned by the falseness of the fallout.
This is more harm than good is good.
Hey, I'm standing with lettuce.
Bless you
