Friends, the more the critics attack us. The more we know were doing right, the more will take a stand stage for the line of fire with your host activist and author, international speaker and theologian Dr. Michael Brown your voice of moral cultural and spiritual revolution Michael Brown is the director of the coalition of conscience and president of fire school of ministry get into the line of fire now by calling 866-34-TRUTH. That's 866-34-TRUTH here again is Dr. Michael Brown.
I am actually glad to be with you on the air today because we didn't know if we can make it. I got to the airport at the airport in Dallas having Denson keep recording with my friend James Robison last night for the new book Jezebels war with America coming out in August and a little bit after seven in the morning got on the shuttle to get over to the gate and then everything looked all right, but there was a storm. We got delayed delayed delayed this. Maybe then did not there be time for me to get my luggage so assistant Dylan gave me his truck drove that that you drove a pickup truck today don't get to do that that much anyway for my luggage and grab a taxi, get back over here were good everything is ready.
We are ready. Thank you so much for joining us. Here's number to call you can weigh in on the things of which I am speaking today. If you differ with me if you're critical of viewpoints.
I take her stance that I take. By all means give us a call.
866-34-TRUTH 866-34-TRUTH 7884 in particular by critics.
I open the phones today. Let me say a few things as I share with you my heart in terms of standing strongly and not backing down. I'm not a victim.
I'm not a martyr I'm not suffering I'm blessed. There are believers, friends, colleagues, coworkers, around the world who were suffering who are being persecuted were going through living hell on this earth. I'm not. You're not, especially those here in America you may be listening or watching another part of the world and you're one of those I just reference going through horrific persecution or the faith, and even fit to be able to get a show like this is a big thing in your risk in doing it no here in America. For some people lost their jobs because of their stance. Some people have been attacked for their stance, but look no one's holding a gun to her head, literally no one's got a knife to her throat that if we preach Jesus and stand for the gospel were to die lease is not the case here in America today and it made particular if I think it blasted day and night online and attacked and people put out videos about me and was websites or have websites attacking me and post articles about. I consider that a great privilege and honor. That means that were getting a message out and some people don't like it now if I was a jerk. If I was rude and nasty to people. If I was into all kinds of corrupt behavior and people hated me.
Then I'd retire on the spot I get right with God and I repent of my sins and I and I repent to bring reproach to the name of Jesus.
But if I'm hated for the truth if I'm hated for taking stands that I believe are true. I consider that a privilege and I consider that an honor, and to the extent your maligned maybe in your job may be in school people come against you because you hold the biblical values people come against you as you stand for the truth. People come against you because you regard the conduct. People come against you because you preach Jesus as the only way to the father. If you suffer for that.
Then rejoice and be glad that your rejection can staying can staying if it's someone you love someone close to someone you care about rejection from others. You don't know often just feels like a badge of honor to tell you doing the right thing, but be strong, be of good courage. Everyone who's done right and stood for truth in human history has had resistance in the world shows how he feels about God by crucifying the son of God. When the very image of God comes into this world. What is the human race to crucify's him kills him. And what does Jesus say in Matthew the 10th chapter he said if the master of the house is called Beelzebub then then what are they going to say about the servants of his household. If Jesus, the perfect flawless son of God who radiates goodness and truth of God was the very image of God in human form.
If he was called Satan himself, then what are his followers going to be accused of. That's what Jesus tells us in Matthew five that were blessed were truly happy when we suffer for righteousness sake, and were persecuted for his name sake. That's why tells us in John 15.
If the world hated him. It will hate us also.
That's why Paul writes in second Timothy three that all those who live godly lives in Messiah Jesus will suffer persecution and to save again.
The type of persecution we experience in America is is mainly verbal and the name the job-related and reputation related is not primarily a threat to our physical lives there have been incidences here and there with there has been extreme violence against someone because they were Christian in America that is not the norm nor the government stand for that was in other countries the persecution is government sanctioned as in North Korea, or as in Saudi Arabia, so I'm speaking as someone blessed assuming privilege to be on the frontlines. As someone who considers it to be an honor standing with you being your voice of moral sanity and spiritual clarity standing up for truth and righteousness, hoping to articulate that the birds that you feel the frustrations that you have because God is blessed us with a great platform on radio and Internet and TV and writing so it's our privilege and joy.
So as I share some things with you is not because I'm sorry. Note to the contrary, my team sends me the latest attack to encourage me the latest article or video blasting us to encourage me because this is a sign that work doing good that were on the right track that our message is being heard.
I want to share a few things with you getting to the Scriptures more with you and phone lines are open. If you asked me a question sums on your mind wondering about something, whether it's cultural, whether it's biblical, it if I almost never get calls from the critics almost never sometimes redoing Jewish outreach shows it a Jewish, missionary work, some of the difference with me religious, you will call in.
That's awesome and we had some great great conversations over the years with the most part critics attacking other ways and don't call it what I work a job I can also only those who agree with me don't work at this hour, or can get free or is the critics all universally are busy working the salary kickoff.
Some people can call this orange there there there critics out there to invite you to pick up the phone call tell speak your mind tell you in detail what is a limited if you really think I'm a jerk, first class idiot and doctrinal error or wrong on my stances about other things political moral cultural issues.
Rama stances about Israel. Tell you what will do right 866-34-TRUTH, I can't.
I can't give imitation any more openly than this, you can take up to a couple minutes to blast me and I won't respond no debate is tell me why I'm so wrong is that since typing it out.
Comments are, can even see is visibly tens of thousands of comments that come in on social media. No decisive nausea fraction of them so you get to call. Lastly, tell me, why am so wrong. Okay and you get up to couple minutes of your articulate maybe a little longer and I will respond to you just get the tell you I'm so wrong.
Farah this way you will undergo debate you. You control the mic this on an app I will debate is how is that all right. Let's see how illiteracy happens right that this was this one of the cuter quotes I've seen ready. I have a Masters in human behavior and have seen many of Mr. Brown's videos over the years and has always been obvious to me that is not sincere and most of all is doing what he does primarily from money. Okay, so I've ever recommend a fit. Looks like you need at least a doctorate because you because of been more wrong on your analysis human behavior here so it looks like you to get me through better school or work will harder and just stuck or or just go get a doctorate in that then try again when you're done with the doctor, then review the videos and see if you can evaluate bore or carefully allocate the MN can we get we get these by the minute. Your comments like this. I hate useless pieces of fill like you exist around so here's someone upset that someone like me even exists. Hate. Let me tell you something we are not going anywhere and there plenty of people just like me love the Lord love the word of God love our neighbor as ourselves. Which means speaking the truth in love. Our goal is not to be popular. Our goal is to be obedient to the Lord. Our goal is not to be liked by people. Our goal is to have our heavenly father smile on us. Many say this. He doesn't smile on bigotry. He doesn't smile on hatred.
Oh hating evil. He smiles on that, but he doesn't is a small and human hatred� Violent pride if I want to please my father and have my father smile on my life. That means walking humility that means loving others. That means blessing those who curse me that that means walking with respect towards others even in the midst of differences so much us a cop out the so you just one concentrate know it's a lot easier to get human favor than divine favor because God knows everything. He knows our hearts nosy for being duplicitous, hypocritical. He knows if we just putting on an outward show no super saying one thing and doing another.
So, sir, hate that useless pieces of fill, like me, exist today. The amazing thing Jesus takes our lives makes us into something beautiful, yet what when people hear my story shooting heroin using LSD stole money from our funding still has any money for drugs is to help other people getting radically born-again. At the age of 16. So back in 1971 going on 48 years ago the end of 1971, you realize that God touches you actually got some pretty wild stories to some amazing stories where you came from. Jesus dies recite humanity outside of the gospel were lost for all useless outside of God's redemption. We are filthy with Jesus changes us, makes us into something beautiful. Some of you have stories that are amazing. We could've seen who you were so many just for your six months ago. Some of you who you were six days ago some of you who you were 60 years ago. See regards later. He's amazing. He's a Redeemer when I thought anywhere speaking back to the laser voice more in the days ahead. Walking thing for cleansing and by the Expo line of fire with your host Dr. Michael Brown your voice and more cultural and spiritual revolution. Here again is Dr. Michael Brown) buyer, the more the opposition comes in with a criticism comes the more the lies, the more encouraged I am the more steadfast I am, the more I desire to raise my voice as your voice so together we can make a difference. So my invitation to critics.
866-34-TRUTH 87884 doubt we ask you to respect the fact that run Christian network so don't use profanity right but if you want to give me peace your mind and tell me why I'm so wrong or deceived or an error. Okay, culturally, morally, biblically, etc. does not really give a 20 minute teaching on your particular doctrinal point that's not what this is for okay but if you want tell me why I'm wrong, but you I'm ask you question for clarification, but I won't won't get into a debate okay you got couple minutes to do if you rambled too long will have to cut it short.
To be fair to others. All right. Her radio time 866-34-TRUTH for truth, 15 tells us that the light shines in the darkness and the darkness can't comprehend it.
Can't overcome it different ways to translate the Greek there.
The fact is lights going to shine in and darkness fears the light, but light doesn't fear darkness the darkness can't snuff out like light puts out darkness right so you shot it does.
My, how dark it is.
You got the right light shine a flashlight you got the right light to shine. The sun shines this money to put the lights on.
There goes the darkness suits, never worry about the darkness you focus on being like you focus on shining you focus on on declaring truth and that'll dispel the errors that will dispel Luke and belies the deception was in the darkness always always going to be opposition but rather than being discouraged by be encouraged by it because this is what's going to strengthen us to to move forward and to minister more grace and stand for more truth. And Paul wrote this in second Corinthians 13 eight we can do nothing against the truth, but only for the we can do nothing against the truth, but only for the truth so truth is to the stand.
I do my best to to get with the truth where it is and stand with truth and by standing with truth, then then run the right side here of, here's another delightful quote and this just a sampling of what we get by the hour, sometimes by the minute. I do not understand how a committee gave you a PhD when you're so intellectually dishonest is pretty sad.
That's the interesting thing the folks that save you really believe what you say you're saying for the money or insincere you intellectually dishonest. You call me deceived you think I'm deceived them dead wrong. But heck repliedwho the person in this world. He knows me the best. My right of over 43 years.
Nancy on the tie up. I believe what I'm saying I believe what I'm doing. You think I'm on the wrong side. You think I'm deceived but I believe I'm doing this by would cost us we get where do you speak it is we thoroughly believe it as as further communicate with a PhD yet you have to take that up with them while you have to do that and you'll have to ask them to do a review of my doctoral thesis. I'm a larger healer for the ecological study through off on the Hebrew Bible and the ancient near East with the got turned into expanded turned into a moderate monograph of Zondervan. Israel's divine hit a healer in their series studies in Old Testament Biblical theology yet. See what you have to take that up with within why you have them review my records there. Let's see year and listen Howard, I just need you to tell me if the folks that are on hold. Here are critics wanted to weigh in. I just it just need to know that so I know where to go on the phones. All right, here's an here's another one get we get this day and night. Dr. Brown is lying about the Holocaust numbers me and scholars around the world and those that lost all their families and relatives are role want this one the ugliest laws that 6 million Jews didn't die in the Holocaust. This this is the level of junk that's out there with this is what we keep speaking up and speaking out because people are this deceived folks remember the Jewish Thomases Christians deserve death off of miss leading very misleading said it at as if Jews go go put Christians to death very misleading. The know-how laws are coming soon to your country and you Christians to lump all near you Christians to lop off your heads, because worshiping Jesus as a camp without such a butchering of information but notice the same person saying that is the same and sing a lime of the Holocaust. Do you see where a lot of this junk is coming from. That's why we keep exposing the laws and you understand with each lie we expose then you get like 10,000 more critics are 100,000 more critics are a million more critics because they they live and die by some of these lies or those that are sincere really believe it at an enter try to do the right thing and were sincerely wrong that there follows a come along blast you would, but often the. The folks following are not as civil as is the folks in front all right so so Howard I need you to tell me if these folks are critics better, you can just put critic if they are, if not I needed a subject this to assist with her about all out about this one where everyone for it before with those of the watching the look okay but the look on because here's here's a sweet one, get a haircut. You yes of course unlikely for being Jewish get a haircut.
I get Tycho my mustache was a haircut could pretty reset those okay yeah, this there is no rising tide of anti-Semitism, except in the fevered minds of the Israel firsters and people like you like about using this as a moneymaker got a go get those Benjamin's only had. That's that's why we take the stance that we take as they bring a lot of money you bring in a whole lot of money when you stand up against LGBT activism. It opens all kinds of great doors for you and churches that never had you speak really want you to come in and that the networks that they can give exposure to work. You know the that the TV networks and radio networks.
The secular ones.
They just love when you address these things and they they just it will please come on and share with us why gay marriage is not really marriage and all. And of course when you stand up against abortion that brings in a whole lot of money. Churches are single please come and preach to us on a Sunday morning why abortion is wrong will take a big offering for all yeah absolutely and and then when you go to countries like India and and you pay your way there and you go there every year you make a lot of money and in getting some of the offerings taken up, you can come back with like three pieces of fruit and a vegetable. Oh yeah, I've seen that in offerings where people bring that for the Sunday service all at the same get the sarcasm give the sarcasm.
When you go to ministry you do it because you're honoring the Lord you do it by faith I know about your business but you have to pray and funds every week for your business. You have to pray in money and in order to to you which you do the next week in your business are you doing well. Maybe with some money in the bank eight were nonprofit ministry and every dime that comes and goes right back out into ministry work. In fact, in fact, if you believe in what were doing and want to stand with us for just pennies a day is a great great way to do it and partner with us to help us keep doing what we are doing so go to patriarch.com patriarch.com/Esther Gibran SK dear Brown help amplifier voice become a patron partner if you only 456 books a week, great. But $10 more per month.
Excuse me but $10 more per month and those more per month.
That will get you two bonus videos every single week as as a patron, so go to patriarch.com/SK DR Brown and join us that we are first 25 patron partners obviously would like to have hundreds or thousands more that will enable us to just do so much more. What were doing. I tell you what we come back got a few critics on hold and I'm going to get to you right after the break I will start now because you only have about a minute or so but but this this idea that there is no rising tide of anti-Semitism in my polite reply with some cart sarcasm about the moneymaking thing but that's scary when when it is well documented and has been for years that anti-Semitism worldwide, is that at levels equal to the levels that they are at right before the Holocaust went when you have Jews in Berlin being told you don't want to wear yarmulke the keep the that had covered. You don't want to wear that in public because it's dangerous in Berlin today, where you have Jews fleeing from France and Jews thinking again after Felipe from England because of the constant anti-Semitic acts and violent attacks which, when you have a rising tide of co-Christian anti-Semitism, the type that fueled the this synagogue shooter in California as he quotes all the standard anti-Semitic tropes that are becoming ever more popularized today.
The tide is rising rapidly and to deny it is to deny reality or to buy into anti-Semitism and say well there is no rising tide of anti-Semitism because there is no anti-Semitism because gears are just evil.
Yeah, and that this remarkable within its remarkable is is that when people drink the Kool-Aid of anti-Semitism. They start believing every, long 9/11 that was most sod that was an inside job. Just whatever it is Jews control the Vatican Jews started the Reformation Jews started Islam I mean just in the new edition of our hands were stained with blood that just finished editing and revising them come out in September I I update a lot of this from 1992 until today we take friends. It's chilling.
It's chilling.
She was out okay. We come back the phone lines are open for my critics. So again, you will get right to your point, it's not time free to give an extended doctrinal essay but rather if you think I'm way off you get to tell me why hello.
This is why, because her critics really come back the light a fire with your host Dr. Michael Brown get into the line of fire now by going to 866-34-TRUTH here again is Dr. Michael Brown opening the critics now for years and years and years.
I asked critics to: post different call and will get it, like on a specific subject.
866-34-TRUTH will get on a specific subject. If you differ with me about the rapture predict with me about Arminianism and Calvinism. If you differ with me on another particular doctrine cessation as was something like that will get lots of folks that will call but when I asked for hard-core critics to call it virtually never happens.
Not a know you're out there because no critique that the show and then blast me during the show after the show.
Sometimes I don't see a lot of the stuff coming in on our YouTube chats and Facebook chat sometimes a CNC or you're watching your listening and blasting may also call will get the calls so you may just have a mild difference with me. Maybe hard-core critic anyway. Bruschetta hear from you while you differ, but again I just need to say this if you say I differ with you on this point and explain why and Juergen and now expound on your point, we don't have time for you to give an extended dissertation on something. Okay so what I want to hear more listeners and viewers to hear his why you differ with you why you think I'm wrong. Okay you can be nasty can be pleasant. Whatever you want. This Maria Christian radio that's all.
Also we we started Massachusetts Mike, thank you for calling so will you differ with Mr. R regarding my call to be one of the most high-profile creatures rendering or promoting being a messianic Jew or messianic Judaism so the thing that I don't understand about that. I don't want to be rude because I know you're looking for real critics. I think a lot of the stuff that you reference are probably just Internet trolls only. Most Christians really want a cup Paul Mandan be overly rude, but I was I was not inviting just Christians.
I was inviting anyone to call and be in control. Yeah but go ahead I'm electronically thinking to be rude though so that's okay. All right, here's what I don't understand so I read that messianic Judaism started around the 1930s, you'll probably say that's not true. I don't know but the largest messianic body require circumcision. I don't understand how Christians can require circumcision even if they do identify as Jews like we should be leaving people away from Judaism and that's how they describe the religion messianic Judaism and the Bible says there is neither Jew nor Greek, all one in Christ Jesus and on top of that in Galatians 2 Paul told Peter that even you don't live like a Jew so I do compel Gentile believers to know if Peter himself didn't live like that you, why do you identify as a messianic Jew or why would you defend messianic Judaism. Shouldn't they be Christian was part of the church. Maybe you can explain that it will take you to tell you what my sins are asking for!
Let me do this again if you just want to blast me friends and and don't want my response.
That's great, but Mike's asking for so so number one messianic use. Use two different ways is used to speak of any Jewish believer in Jesus or choose to speak of a member of a messianic Jewish congregation. Okay I go to church.
I'm not in a messianic target. I go to church that are just an organization founded qualifier with the rare times when I'm in town I been part of messianic allegations in the past, but most of my life as a believer spent in in the and in church circles that's that's the first or near your platform relating people
