I didn't say there are a few things I want to mention before we go to your calls and your email so let me start here my appreciation to Facebook for correcting an error, they may today always a little afternoon.
I guess some around their I went to post something on Facebook and I had been blocked out from doing. I thought what would happen and then it said there was a post that was removed for conduct, violating community standards and I was blocked from posting anything for seven days. One the world that I saw the the post that was blocked. It is been shared multiply thousands of times on our page and the great reach, probably 800,000 people, and it was a cartoon from 2014 that I posted our tempo citizens often post this myself.
It was a picture Secretary of State Kerry. He sitting in a negotiating table. It's on Yahoo is to his left and Thomas is to his right and to that and sitting on the lap of the Hamas leader is a child, so choosing a child's human shield and is a caption the Hamas leader St. death to all Jews. Kerry St. Annette Netanyahu can you can you meet us halfway that notice the absurdity of trying negotiate with terrorists who want to annihilate Israel. Hamas is not stand for the death of all Jews were for the annihilation of Israel.
So that got removed so I wrote to a contact. This is what moral haves he removed his political cartooning, etc. and I said I am blocked from posted as we can have millions of followers and Facebook in the new year coming of special announcements coming alive video limited to, so she checked outages about there's a post saying in a death toll Jews that all existence is that of exposing that's it's it's an exaggerated statement from Thomas were exposing it were exposing terror and she said I was removed and error are bad and got it corrected so II appreciate them acknowledging the error apologizing and getting it fixed. So, my thanks to Facebook.
That being said, nothing said Speakman Israel and in the terror in Israel and America boy Sen. Ted Cruz came out with a scathing rebuke of our president and and administration Secretary of State Kerry for what they have done to Israel like bitter clinker is.
He wrote Obama carrier spending every last minute of this administration, wreaking havoc domestically and abroad with her last breath in office. They have struck Israel through the UN and through today's disgraceful speed speaking care yesterday. The sex is shameful. They are designed to secure legacy, and indeed they have history will record in the world will fully understand Obama and Kerry is relentless enemies of Israel. This is a voluntary, shameful conduct will backfire will be short-lived and will expire by partisan repudiation of the radical anti-Israel Jennings right is right absolutely right will be right back 866-34-TRUTH I the line of fire with your host Dr. Michael Brown.

We go to Ray and Clinton, Maryland. Welcome to light a fire, yes, regrets around the answer. Go ahead of their current world will bring all of them are welfare law in effect what was going wrong, Maryland auto California Chicago and briefly go a polyp calls will only that we did back seat. I only think about, that the PLO interested in killing the Jew abdomen after all from Texas. All believe that the and mumbling the good, but when I went there. I've noticed something was wrong that you went all over Israel right you have not yet so you went you women of such juice and when Tel Aviv you have this really nice Seesmic that right right know, but I'm saying you didn't just go cause was back, don't you realize the only reason there's a fence up is because of terrorist attacks was the only reason their security is because of terrorist attacks, you realize that you realize that the Palestinian Authority PLO. They name streets after terrorists.
They name schools after terrorists that tells own TV on a daily notice of this Effexor bucketful local to hell, Not on the right way.
Don't believe me, I listen.
I've been to the land many times I have friends who I worked with reconciliation rate may have not had out right right what they were on the lecture you about black America in Clinton Maryland as a white man who does live in Maryland on the lecture you about black America in Clinton Maryland. How arrogant would that be how how out of place with that the sir. I have friends who have lived in Israel for 40 years. I have friends who work closely with Arab Christians every day of their lives.
I have Arab Christian friends right there is no propaganda here, sir. There is day and night terror threat to Israel from all sides and what you need to do is go to power wash.org PAL wash.org that will tell you what is broadcast on the Palestinian media and Arabic every single day to outsider hatred determines how often would walk where they pull the wool over your eyes are met. There are member. We met with the back of met with the mayor of the mayor of met met with different and there is the same thing now, burn their say the same thing. These people are not interested in killing what happened to the cable component on water because of the Jews control the one about the why, why, because of because of their fear and paranoid rate Ray Ray. Let me just say the KKK never existed. Slavery regulate culture from it. You would on this paranoid slavery never existed in America.
Segregation never existed in America. The KKK never existed in America, you're making it all up Ray, please hear me, you heard the propaganda what you got exposed was the propaganda. Do you think Israelis want to send everyone of their kids into the Army you think they like Sen. Boys and Girls Club everyone mandatory into the Army. Do you think they like having that fence up and that wall off. Do you think they like when you go into a mall that you have to have your bags check like when you get on the plane with TSA Jews think they like that. Of course, by the way, of course, slavery, segregation, taking oral horrors. Of course if you was a black American say we been mistreated in our history is not paranoia that's truth, that's not propaganda that's truth, Moss and Gaza Strip wants to wipe out the Jews. It is on their charter. Palestinian Authority must we must listen you want to be educated you're the wool pulled over your eyes right, but by people who are most as many of them radical Muslims and the fact of the matter is, if you will see what is taught in schools. If you will see what is on the TV if you will talk to the thousands of Israelis who are victims of terror attacks. Visit the hospitals.
You'll see Israel's one issue terrorist. Here's a question for you right there.
1,000,000 1/2 Palestinians living in are in Israel, with full citizenship rights. Why, why did the million and 1/2 Palestinians living in Israel proper have full citizenship rights.
It is because they are not trying to murder the Jews know not all Palestinians want to kill Jews.
Most do not. But there are many who do and the government often aids it and abets it educate yourself so your minister your thinking man you took the time to go over there and what you have with the propaganda exposure to the max.
Go to power wash the Lord I challenge you check it every day for one week PAL wash.org and see broadcast on the Palestinian media font talked Housing Authority pill every day you will be shot after shot her and it's the light a fire with your host Dr. Michael Brown get into the line of fire now by calling 866-34-TRUTH here again is Dr. Michael Brown specialist for needle. This is this is really grievous friends.
This is really grievous. So tell me that I don't know what I'm talking about when it comes to life in Israel for someone to make one trip in and listen to people who have one set of opinions and one side of the story and who you deny the realities of the terror that is Russ to live with terror attacks Israel stops every month from happening and anyone want to take a guess on that.
Generally, Israelis have to live just as normal life only if you go there hate join us on a tour of course it can sign up now and forever early March.
But if you're coming on to traditional you be amazed at the freedom and liberty of the people have their but they have to live with constant constant surveillance constant.
They are stopping terror attacks behind the scenes day and night 24 seven and to just say it's paranoid.
I mean that's ugly that's ugly that's like me that's like me telling a Christian in Pakistan that the the unequal treatment that they receive their that's just paranoia and I would gladly dialogue with with Ray about this, but not not when he's going to tell me that Jews in Israel who think that Palestinians that there Palestinian terrorists in the West Bank that there is disbelieving propaganda just paranoia.
Knowing I have spit on the on the blood of those have been slaughtered.If you want to say is there a better way for Palestinians to be treated in an Arthur things Israel those that are harsh and we talk about that. We talk about that all day but I guarantee you the moment Palestinian government stops inciting terror or effectively shuts down terror is the day that that unequal treatment goes away it is there it's not there within Israel proper okay that the undisputed part of Israel by Judea, Samaria, being part of what's disputed right that the million and half Arabs who lived there. They vote they live their lives. They have their jobs, their professions and they are free.
They have more freedom than any Arabs and Muslims anywhere in the Middle East and by large quite overwhelmingly they do not want to be under the leadership of the Palestinian Authority. They do not want to be under the leadership of Hamas. So here Housing Authority as to replace Mahmoud Abbas to the replaced years ago.
The lectures they vote among their leaders and and and and those that can cast the votes of every thousands just with within the upper echelon in and who is it that they voted to be the new leader of the past and authority of a man who's in jail serving set the five life prison sentences for the murder of Israelis. He is the hero and the face of the movement I I am looking@powerwash.org all right this is actually what font talked with Housing Authority with yellow with a are actually posting right what is actually happening and if you don't believe me, find someone that knows Arabic and and listen to the broadcast and read the posts in Arabic. I December 18 Nazareth. Nazareth municipality has schoolchildren on her murderer of three Israelis this December 18 December 22. Font talked which is marked where bosses party into Facebook post font talk celebrated 20 different, most outstanding terror attacks that altogether killed hundred 16 Israelis December 22 December 26 25th the font talk interpret the recent UN Security Council resolution as giving it permission to kill Israelis and asked that question and and then it says this did font talk.
Thank 14 countries for granting it permission to kill Israelis before the UN vote. There is a picture of of the once it's in a blooding knife right and its width.
Palestinian Authority going through the heart of Israel and and now what it has it it it it says Palestine will defeat that the settlement and then after the Security Council reprinted the same image within said thank you and name the 14 countries that voted in favor. The resolution is a blooding image analysis and thank you to the countries that voted for the resolution. This what Israel is dealing with friends. This is what Israel is dealing with 24 seven. They do not like all the checkpoints they do not like the fence and in some parts the wall. Why is there a wall it's to keep snipers out, but since they put that fence up that security barrier fence at/wall 97, 90% fence to zip it up murderers Terrace murders went down 99%. They'd rather have that unseemly barrier than have their men, women and children killed in cold blood. Shame on those they get one side of the story in the lecture, those that work on these issues day and night.
Again, the friends I have work with Arab Christians for reconciliation and seek to bring people together and are quick to call out Israel if Israel does wrong 866-34-TRUTH let's go Franklin in New York.
Thanks for calling the line of fire.
In particular caught you got you much either Kinko: an unwritten for cocoa know they they were not there, presumably not Jews and when when it speaks of of Magi it's it's really speaking of pagan wisemen or pagan they could've been astrologers in God was getting this message out to the nations. In other words, these were not. These were not Jews know some some believe they were white like Daniel who is a Jew in in the in captivity right in Babylon.
Matthew to one after Jesus was born Beth energy day in the days of King Herod wisemen from the East arrived unexpectedly, Jesus and only says there from the East, with a say where is he who is been born king of the Jews, the language would suggest or not Jews themselves, but the. The term that's used when we see wisemen in some translations. NIV says Magi again from other nations. They could have been known as as leaders educated some of the more educated leaders they could have been priests to other religions and when were recognizing there was some type of redemption coming for the Jewish people were they Jews presumably not. Could they have been astrologers or something like that speculation that the could've been pursuing a juice coming from the east, if you listen to our broadcaster last week serve you go to the line of fire.org line of fire.org.

I did an interview earlier this week with Dr. Yu Ross and astronomer and he weighed in on that as well with his position. But thank you sir for the call friends untaken calls 90 minutes more.
90 minutes more. 866-34-TRUTH 784 so call and will keep taking your calls those that are signing off.
I have an awesome new year in the Lord.
It's the line of fire with your host activist, author, international speaker 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 thank you for joining us on the line of fire, 866-348-7884 is number to call you got questions, we've got answers. Let's go to Virginia Brian walking to the line of fire. I doing very well thank you I I'm good with me.
There are broadcasting talking with the gentleman from Alan about the power, not wanting to destroy Israel that with the hydrocracking to look into thickly because I'm fairly aware that conflict going on there a map that can generate metro area. I'm also a consultant working with government contractors and supporting the State Department on multiple contract in the name and quite obviously there is a strong desire far out to destroy and wipe Israel off the map. Not all Palestinian feel that way the group that I'm working with a very supportive of a two state solution don't advocate for the destruction of Israel that the general would definitely uninformed and giving a propaganda tour. Yet he that looks Brian first thing is, Palestinians Israelis and all human beings loved by God, is this the first thing Jesus died for all of them just the same and appellee being pro-Israel doesn't mean being anti-Palestine other words, I believe if Israel's security was was firm that Israel would would treat its neighbors. The best way possible so I don't.
And again you have 1,000,000 1/2 Palestinians who live in Israel you know cities like Tel Aviv and Haifa intrusively lived there. They worked there. They have a 17 members of the Knesset. They have one member of the Supreme Court they can vote. They don't have to fight in the Army. Some choose to both the majority don't of the so they have the full protections and they can blast Israel. They come in. That's fine, they can say what they wanted because they have the freedom to and your average Palestinian.
I don't think they want to kill Jews. Your average person is on a terrace, but when you have the exultation of terror in the culture when you have the Islamic denigration of Jews as Jews.
When you have the grand Bluesky of Jerusalem salute the leading religious cleric in Jerusalem a few years ago courting a famous hadith that says that the end will not come until the Muslims slaughtered the Jews and you got that preached in Jerusalem by a leader there and and broadcast on Palestinian TV and assist that's just past and is already that's that's of no where near as as hostels, losses so that's that's the reality.
So then of course there's going to be pushing back from Israel. And of course there's going to be unfairness in terms of how average Israeli lives were someone in the Palestinian West Bank, but again is only one reason for this because the history of Islamic terror and it's very easy to get tour and they look. We love everybody we just will live in peace and many of the people do, but wait when the again the thing Brian if someone just said look I don't think the Palestinians are being treated fairly.
Or I think is really settlements of too many advantages over the Palestinians are isosceles Israeli soldiers. They seem downright hostile to Palestinians of the check are those are all issues that we can discuss. But the color gray.
I don't agree with your I believe that the baby they could Bible solution. I'm a true supporter of Israel again like you said you know and can be discuss. I do believe the are an issue, but I don't think our government has made the right decision think that they've done this with the gentleman motivation was in the statement that he made GUI during his call yesterday and is following the current administration narrative basically like nestling in your back.
I think I cannot visit Israel and Israel's land is the loss again. Apply the last I found the lost again and you and there and that's that's reality.
It was wasn't propaganda that you experience price hey thank you sir for the call. I really appreciated 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 for go to your calls picture the scene right you hear screams from a house on your block and you you going you hear the screaming, the doors open you run in and you see someone you think it's a neighbor of yours but he's got a guy in the ground and he's punching him in the face and the guy screaming stop stop he's punching him in beating him and you try to pull ago.
So what you doing what you doing to kill in the sky. Okay, maybe he went too far. But what you didn't know was that the guy was on the ground had broken into the house and he killed his wife and children and their other children in the backyard playing the guy was going after. When this father came and found them and beat him to the ground and and was bleeding when you came in all it puts a whole different light on the situation doesn't Sue have someone who gets basically a propaganda tour of the West Bank and in a denial of the real situation and look would be mistreated look at the situation ran okay.
Let's talk about the history, let's talk about how this happened with back things up a little bit go to my website a lot of fire.org. Click on the digital library right line of fire directly, digital library and look for my video lectures, Israel and evil occupier.
Just type in evil occupier.
You can watch free, it's over an hour lecture. I think you'll find tremendously eye-opening with quotes and with facts. 866-34-TRUTH's let's go to Barbara in northern Virginia. Thanks for calling the line of fire. I ran earlier about how great that Alexander might getting angry. I got not really that working way out of touch with the new iron and even the Lord, challenging Christianity at that level by the tunnel and John Kerry on record quit blowing up the cow tunnel and out like what down economy under their global guy that they did not believe that he was or I don't know yet, let's let's on some somewhere.
Let's put the best construction on Barbara.
He is a pastor. He cares enough to go with other pastors over to the Middle East so we can see for himself what's happening. He knows what it's like to be part of a people who is been oppressed in history.
He knows there can be injustice in society and that he is subject to one side of the story in such an exaggerated form that it skews is thinking. He thinks he siding on the side of justice.
But here's here's where he's making a massive mistake because look, all of us have limited perspectives in other words, I I've traveled hundred 50+ times overseas travel to maybe 30 nations, but I saw very limited perspective on those nations could have lived there my whole life. I'm a man I'm on the perspective woman.
We all have limitations in our perspectives but it's when we get exposed to one side of the story and outcome away as experts say that a whole nation is is believing propaganda and living in paranoia.
That's when it becomes an unsound judgment.
That's right question the wisdom of someone's thinking again.
It's one thing if someone says hey look there two sides to the story. I know you stand with Israel. I believe Israel has the right to the land there, but I think they could treat Palestinians batterers. Okay, fine. That's a discussion happens within Israel that those things happen all the time but when you are talking about when you're talking about coming away with it bit big basic I was saying slavery never happen. Segregation the Raven KKK never existed.
You're just paranoid it's it's that kind of ridiculously ignorant, arrogant statement that says okay something's missing in the equation so again I think the best that someone wanted to find out the situation and cared enough to go to Israel but they're part of a propaganda tour but one thing I didn't get to ask. I would be curious but one when I was unable to say something without being interrupted amount so I had to to speak there for little while. We got to break. I wonder if if he paid his own way. If other pastors Pedro wherefore if they were sponsored and going, probably Pedro way, but just curious about that right. Thank you for weighing in. I appreciate it.
86634.
Truth is the number to call.
I want to get to some of your emails and before I do that before I get to some of your emails. There I discussed asked slightly outside of my reach. There we go okay here some amazing quotes some amazing quotes from US presidents John Adams run to Thomas Jefferson. I will insist that the Hebrews have done more to civilized man than any other nation that I was writing to Mordecai manual Noah father I could find it in my heart to wish that you would be at the head of 100,000 Israelites and marching with them into began making a conquest of the country and restoring your nation to the dominion of really wish the Jews again injury Dan independent nation. While John Quincy Adams. I believe in the rebuilding of Judaism as an independent nation of Abraham Lincoln. Not long after the Emancipation Proclamation had Lincoln met a current Canadian Christian scientist Henry Wentworth Monk expressed hope the Jews were suffering oppression. Russian turkey BMS petticoat by restoring them to their national home in Palestine. Lincoln said this was called a noble dream, one shared by many Americans. The president said his car up artists that like an old chiropractor was a Jew who could have so many times put me upon my feet that I would have no objection to giving his country a leg up. Interesting. All right, let's get to some females from Jos� hello Dr. Brown I was wondering how can we receive the gifts of the spirit is a wish with all my heart to be baptized by the Holy Spirit. Some people say that speaking in tongues is not for they are that's rescinded speaking in tongues is not babblings they portray it. But in the Scriptures we see that the Lord said was stemming trips lips and strange tongues. He will speak to his people because that's a passage from the book of Isaiah quoted by Paul in first Corinthians 14 to say that to the nonbeliever tongues is is a foreign language is just judgment. It's nothing and and he's using it in that context, but to the believer.
It's a good and wonderful thing was aces of God can understand our prayers and Chinese, Spanish, English, German, Japanese Army language that he must be able understand and for spirit trust to speak through a mouse with an honorable sounds please develop in the topic as well. It would really be appreciated if you can give your views and opinions.
Also if you could please extend a prayer for my life is a living through severe depression. I seek enlightenment through the word of God within. It gives me hope is that the Holy Spirit can work through me buys gifts be baptized by him first. Lord we we pray that you would help Jos� in the midst of his depression that you would make yourself real to him that she would lift this from him that you fill him with joy and that you help them to understand the roots of this depression so that he can receive help and find complete wholeness. White House asked your question.
First Corinthians 14, Paul plainly says, don't forbid speaking in tongues. First Corinthians 13 plainly teaches that tongues, prophecy will be here until Jesus returns. So this tongues are for today doesn't mean everyone claiming to speak in tongues genuinely is doesn't mean everything them in the Pentecostal charismatic churches right simply means that God never withdrew this and that's why throw church history. There are instances of this in a great renewal and restoration of this in the last hundred 50 years. So that's why there are hundreds of millions of people around the world who speak in tongues and I'm one of those and quite grateful to God for that as a depth of communion I have with God, praying in the spirit. It often gives me greater enlightenment to pray with my understanding and deepens my walk with the Lord enables me to serve him and serve his people more effectively.
So Jos� read through first rent is 12 1314 similar.
I want everything you have read through the book of acts, civil, and I want everything you have used me for your glory and ask him to fill you afresh with his spirit to touch you so that you are drenched by his spirit. You may feel something you may not be received by faith, then just begin to worship and praise him and if worship and praise and prayer begins to rise out of you in new languages. Wonderful. Let it happen, you'll experience the reality of John seven were Jesus it out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water. There is a spiritual experience that parallels that, and you see how I know if it's my own mind are not what your mind could have created any time something that you feel that initiatives that emerge from within begin to speak out, which is standard for you know it is a new language that God understands and build you up inside of her plan 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 will come back to the line of fire at 6487 88. We have had a lot of commentary this week on the radio in writing and on video in terms of what has happened with the America that with United States with you and with Israel.
We've had a lot of commentary on it. Please take advantage of it.
Go to the line of fire.org and listen to previous broadcasts that deal with abuse.
Click on listen to do that and click on the digital library and you see relevant articles and videos, plus other commentaries we've put out as well. I later started. You can read online and escape. Christian says it was easier to leave homosexuality than to change his diet. Yes, amazing isn't 866-34-TRUTH. Let's see, this is from justice was opened just two simple questions. Does Dr. small yourself a rib intentions to debate again about topics such as polygamy, incest, etc. are he's referring to a debate I did at University of Central Florida a few years back after my book where thing happened to America came out Dr. smalls, a professor at another local university and said that he would gladly debate me and we said you pick the topic so he picked same-sex marriage should be legal. You can watch that debate going to the digital library right so much as free online go to want to fire.org. Click on digital library and then just type in the name small SM a W and that will get you to the video you can watch it.
I think you'll find it quite eye-opening and during that debate I just asked him to define marriage in an explain why did marriage require two people and of course their slippery slope issues wise polygamy wrong. What what about a throttle three manner three women that want to marry or some other combination. What about the twins in Australia twin sisters who been in relationship with the same guy for years and they want to get married is a threesome and he said why I can't discuss that because I made an agreement with others. Before the debate not to discuss those issues and of course that didn't play well in the overall debate you can watch Judge for yourself.
Let's just say that, for better presentation of the other side could have been made, then was made so it was good in terms of us being able to get our position out clearly but no, we've had no contact since then. I don't know that there'd be another debate and in fairness, I don't know that that would be the the am glad to debate anyone that I try to be fair that there's a good spokesman for the other side of things. Are there other spokesman I could do a better job presenting the other side of what would be the same. Some good tools to use to learn Greek and Hebrew on my own. It depends if you got good language skills right but the best thing to do is to get a program with software in a book.
So if you just if you get online and just search learning biblical Hebrew learning biblical Greek you'll see different programs that come up there some online ones where you fill out your tests online. Some even have a tutor but that of course it's it's much more money so to do it on your own, you would want to get a book and in a CD something that I didn't have decades ago when I was teaching myself biblical Hebrew for example and try to work in the languages I was learning modern Hebron school Thomas of biblical Hebrew.
Then they learned some aspects of rabbinic Hebrew with rabbis and things like that but in less you can just sit down and learn the language and have exceptional skill in doing then what you want to do is get that the most help you can that can reinforce things and you best work on one language at a time. Ken was truly gifted. I learned six languages at once in college, but that wasn't the wisest thing to do because II could've put deeper foundations in two or three rather than more shallow foundations in in six and then I went to grad school. I added more. Of course that's part of what I was doing in grad school. But some of the languages they only had three year in college I never really advanced beyond that with some of those so get a book that also has an accompanying CD or DVD and then you do the exercises in a computer setting and if you try to pronounce things you learn things you you have some critiquing and in doing it and you can also check out the website Hebrew for Christians.com Hebrew, the number four make sure it is.com Hebrew for Christians yeah.com I think as opposed to dot org. Let's see if, and that's a great place to start learning Hebrew online for free. Okay Hebrew for Christians learn the language of the kingdom. There is probably a good equivalent Greek site.
I just don't know about, 8663 for 87884 drive time okay let's try this one from Robert Dr. Brown had a question.
Jeremiah 1717. It uses the word trust by talking Hebrew and the word hope the DOS, but they seem to almost translate exactly the same.
Can you help me understand the difference between these two words, yet often in translation. Your you're faced with choices that you have to make iPod pull my hair out translating Job earlier this year and it it took me longer than I expected it to take and some sometimes with a struggle with was a simple verses were revenue the meaning of it that was trying to think that a set like this, should I say it like this. What's the best way to do it but you have this exact same route. Okay, so the Hebrew but Ruth hug ever blessed is the man I'm sure you've talked about and I who trusts in the Lord is a highly benign beef taco and the Lord is his trust the Lord is his security, his confidence so the first one is about talk in a verbal form to trust. The second is about talk and nominal form having to do with the state of trust. Hence, confidence. I would not translated as hope for King James new King James, I would not do that by ESV. Blessed is the man who struck who trust in the Lord, whose trust is in the Lord's telling you same thing if you want have a slight different nuance use the word confidence. This is a man who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in the Lord that that helped or who have made the Lord there confidence so you're correct in saying that the words or similar again. One is the verbal form. The other is the nominal form, all from the same root, but talk hate while the time about talk about a favorite Pocock first Proverbs 35 talk about another holy Becca trust in the Lord with all your heart will be enough call to Shane don't lean on your own understanding hold Russia.

Let's go to this question. First, to Dr. Brown thank you so much for your stand on some important issues. I was blessed by your teaching at the fire school in the Netherlands last year. Have a question I don't know if you really address the subject publicly here in Switzerland. Basically in Europe to speak more generally, is a big ecumenical movement going on. Evangelical pastors are referring to the Pope's books events are organized in with Catholics looks like in regarding I should have a speaker comes from the Catholic Church. When you think about this movement, even if we do want Catholic people to have a personal encounter with Jesus and repentance that you think the collaborating to that extent is compromised in many different ways. The basic essence of our faith. It looks like there is lack of clarity's first root of Catholicism and the true meaning of sacraments are concerned have any teaching on the subject to be really interested of okay so I I have not I have. I have not written on this and addressed it in terms of lectures or anything like that.
Okay, but I I would.
I would say this, I would say this number one if people are genuinely born again if they are genuinely born again genuine followers of Jesus Catholic Protestant doesn't matter to me while I worked together for joint gospel concerns. Yes. However, I deftly have many differences with my friends in the Catholic Church on coworkers with Oregon Catholics, but I am not one that puts the pulpwood looks to the Pope for spiritual guidance and I would be very concerned that there would be a watering down of fundamentals of the gospel so again if someone is truly born again be a Catholic Protestant b-day Orthodox where they are.
If there genuinely born again, there my brother, my sister and if were working for joint gospel, causing her to help the poor, or to twin Muslims to Jesus and inward were praying together, working together reach out that's fine but there's a large rate ecumenical movement that I have issues with that. I think waters down distinctives that I think compromises real issues and that puts people in the same the same bed, so to say that really are not real bedfellows. So with that regard, I have some real concerns. Thank God for unity among true believers that celebrate that that otherwise I have some concerns as your again is Dr. Michael Brown for joining us on the 148663487884 let us go to Sharon in airlift or is it island Virginia Ament all right, Eric, Virginia.
Welcome to the line of fire. Dr. Brown I talked to before about this.
You and Bennett are further my finding of its rate in our Christian home announced to a three day that he prepay with Mormon girl and I called you earlier. Get just that we talk with him and his girlfriend offer to watch the debate with Dr. Kane why well she with the area and at that. Especially when I told her that I reject the morning today, except since that time, I might and it's really tell I'm not because we didn't treat her well and so we just I mean he announcement the night that think she accepted my question to you. It had only eight with we had just been breathing. Yeah that pronouncement, though, I'd like your idea of what I saw. So obviously they have some type of compromise mythological compromise between them where either he is much more prone Mormon when he's with her that he's expressing to you or that they simply act as if they share the same faith of because they're in their their love and I want to get married and when push comes to shove any civil route Mormons. We reject Mormon faith. She's very offended by, so as far as you can tell what where his current beliefs still attend church every Sunday, not involved as I would like for him to update but he doesn't indicate that it will join the Mormon that I want you to and from our family, if not, not only my husband and I bet from our daughter.
You know I sent all I know the more I think at the very strong all and her family is very neat and so I don't think he would go to the Mormon faith, but as I'm watching his behavior. I learned that I think they're just going live there think it will just cross that bridge when we come right in and the sideline you have to walk his parents and anytime we do is family members, friends, is do I stand on certain principal that could potentially alienate someone that I care about or do I express my care by standing for the principal and that's the challenge and where the Lord has to give wisdom, but when when he's going to church on Sunday. She's in her own church. She did not appear to have a schedule where she cannot always where she worked on prime time sheet the tentlike award you know whenever whenever she's not working she had attended church with him on occasion right seat. Look, if this is a way where you have to just patiently love on them and and let the Holy Spirit draw her in and he's going to lead the way. And through that she's going end up attending the same church and God touching her and bring her out of the error of Mormonism, then obviously that that is a redemptive thing on.
On the flipside, there is again that the pressure if if she comes from a strong Mormon family and he's less involved that he would end up going in that direction. But when he when he shared with you that they will engage what was dispirited was he excited to tell you what with that. He knew there was going to fight hot how that happened, how Einstein college at at what an appropriate out and he was excited and now in shock. I did not conduct that okay and I thanked my heart. Thank you Johnny. We did not congratulate how wonderful it out and it sounded excited but You get all that patently coming up now and yet will I when I would what I would do is this. He's he's old enough to make his own decisions on nicely, and 21-21 and obviously you're grieved over this and you could easily say well you're you're marrying a nonbeliever and an inner we can't be part of the wedding etc. then in a you you might be taking a stand. That's this can be counterproductive, especially if she professes to be a believer and he's convinced that the both share the same set
