Answers to Your Questions

Well, let's do it. I'm ready you're ready you got questions. We got answers stage for the line of fire with your host activist, 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 getting to the wino fired now by calling 866-34-TRUTH. That's 866-34-TRUTH here again is Dr. Michael Brown yes yes yes you got quest God answers phone lines open 866-348-7884.

Any question of any kind that is appropriate for Christian radio. Anything whatsoever you want to talk to me about McCall today, 8663 for 87884. In particular, any area of expertise I have, or any place where you want to challenge me. Biblically, theologically, morally, culturally and politically will talk about it on the air. All right before I get to any phone calls to everyone listening to me in the great city of New York, my home city born in Manhattan raised on Long Island and I pronounce you just the way others pronounce it so Mayor de Blasio is there been a more radically liberal mayor radical leftist Mayor I am examine the policies of all of them but I don't know that it is been more radical than Mayor de Blasio.

He and other city officials are urging New Yorkers not to eat at Chick-fil-A.

They've opened up a new location in Queens.

It's forced to open in New York City and he says no, the owners of Chick-fil-A support groups that quote promote hate against gays is a Chick-fil-A is anti-LGBT is calling for a boycott by New York's Ellis let people boycott with a want to boycott if we think it's fine to boycott target and he wants to boycott Chick-fil-A have added have added number one number one when you go to the restaurant there. They're not making a statement target was making a statement, all bathrooms all change rooms will be gender-neutral. Someone identifies a certain way, they can use the bathroom, locker room, change room of their choice of their gender perceived gender identity they are making a statement in there imposing that everybody Chick-fil-A is serving food. That's what they're doing they are not make any statement about this.

There they are not shouting out to the world we are pro this were against this except there say were Christian we close on Sundays and I imagine the New York will be the same as in other parts of the country that they really are great places to go for those that go to fast food on the fast food person or used to be, but Chick-fil-A was always my favorite place to go in terms of customer service. They were the quickest on drive-through. They got the orders best and they were friendly. They were amazing friendly manager would volunteer to bring something out your check on things and the people would know my pleasure. You know and thank you, my pleasure. They seem to genuinely act it in in a way that was courteous and friendly since what I've always scored so well in terms of customer service for fast food restaurants and the people that like chicken that it's been a great place to go. So it's one thing when a PayPal when Apple sends out a message is working to do business here or regular withhold business here rule off open offices there is nothing when privately a company donates to have this Fellowship of Christian athletes yeah Chick-fil-A has been branded supporting hate because they donate to the Fellowship of Christian athletes and that the leader is a COO or CEO of Chick-fil-A couple years ago said were not engaged in the culture wars were not. That's what they make clear where serving chicken so this is this is utterly ridiculous and my hope is that they'll do great benefits of the great in New York and throw pretty fourth-place. It must mean they are doing well. Here again is Dr. Michael Brown. I just started a twitter so my twitter feed Dr. Michael L Brown DR Michael L. Brown, if you get to else in the middle or on twitter just started a poll there. I normally vote Republican in this election. I plan to vote for one comp two Hillary three not so what will keep you posted on how that pole goes again curious to hear from those who normally vote Republican to see where they come down 866-348-7884. You got questions, we've got answers phone lines are open and we start in Miami. Nicholas walking to want to fire Dr. bonnet so my next round. John /n/. Thank you. My question someone called Blake and the Drake Bible and breaks down beliefs on how you and it was pretty positive language agreements, but you'd now by warning unity that God is one in unity and what you thought about that.yes or a first a finish since J takes famous plan takes annotated study Bibles number one on the positive side, he did an incredible amount of work with his annotations and his references in his list so there's much of value in the work that's on the positive side on the negative side, he did have some strange beliefs of, for example, the separation of the races and things like that.

I felt Scriptures indicated that and then because he was what you would call a hyper literalist hyper literalist that he would say we know God has a right hand.

It doesn't say he is a left no for an example or he has a right I will know is a left that out again. He was dissing based on biblical evidence, so in that sense hyper literalist as far as the word one that you use. For example, Genesis 11 day were Genesis to the man and woman, became one or famously Deuteronomy 600 lawyers are God, the Lord is one. The Hebrew word Eckhart means one in a way similar to our English word limits it. It doesn't it doesn't have a particular meaning of unity or not unity, for example, I could talk about one rock I could talk about one team I could I could talk about something that is complex in unity or something that simplest, it just means one it doesn't mean an exclusive singularity like the word only three that bear witness on every 1� and alignment of thing like that it will actually that this is Greek, the New Testament is Greek/Hebrew first John 57 is not in the original Greek manuscripts there through the pair went with us and have the father were in the Holy Ghost.

These three are one. Yeah so that that was not in any ancient Greek manuscript that was added in many centuries later but it's it's taught throughout the New Testament so that's that's perfectly fine. It summarizes what is taught elsewhere.

But I say that God's unity is complex. In other words, he is one God. That is a major major message through the Bible, there is one God and one God only, but he is complex in his unity. That's how I would understand the unity of God that God is his multiple expressions within one God God is father-son in spirit within one God.

God manifests himself in many different ways, but he is one God only. So in that sense, unity is there, it's just not the, the fundamental meaning of the word hey Nicholas, thank you for calling and thanks so much for being a listener, 866348788 for all its go to Brooklyn John walking to the line of fire.

Hello Dr. Mark good is just right out there for second you still there earlier.

Okay, great.

Gilbert regret everything's good.

Okay. Um, I do have a question on the most fairly new believer, and I'm a little on the fence about this study had not been doing about adoption of loss of reward in first Corinthians 315 that me that a person can remove this salvation. I'm not really too sure what that person yes or that is not talking about loss of salvation. There is first salvation John I've written about this a lot and talked about a lot but the best way to understand the history of salvation is not that we can lose it, but that we can choose to walk away from God. God's promise to keep us God's promise to finish the work that he starts from beginning to end. He's the author and the finisher of our faith. No one can plug us out of his hand.

But someone can willfully choose to walk away from God and other words if if someone says to God, I'm leaving the household he doesn't lock the doors and force them to stay so someone could forfeit their salvation. So I'm not going to serve God. I will not thou the needed Jesus.

I reject him, in which case God will not force us to state who keep us, he will as long as we put our lives in his hands. He will keep us will preserve us will help us. We don't have to worry every day along and lose my salvation. Although I thought one wrong thought.

I'm going to hell no, not at all. What's what's being spoken of here is his reward for service. There are number of parables, John, and in the words of Jesus where he talks about gain and loss where he talks about the greater reward for some than for others. So it seems that on that day. When we stand before God or since been paid for right Jesus paid for. Since we don't have to pay for them ever again. But we will have to give account for what we did.

In other words, we are eat eternally part of the family of God, but will not give account. I had a certain assignment. Had I performed it. What if everything I did was built on the flesh, and based on carnality and pride. I will not receive the reward for those works, even though I'm still save as though by passing through fire but I still make it in. Even though I don't get the reward for the things that I have done okay and I have I will keep you criminal, W. So when it refers to all being packed into outer darkness.

That is about how I at yes yes and and so if you look at a parable. For example, that seems to indicate that someone who didn't do well is cast into outer darkness.

The parable is there to make a point not to teach doctrine. The parables of their to get a message across in the messages don't squander what God has given you. And remember this person is called wicked and lazy. It's not just Lord I was trying to please you with all my heart and I fell short know this is someone who is wicked and lazy eye with what God's given them in Jesus as their consequences to that. So if I forfeit my salvation. It's because I walk away from God and deny Jesus and choose sin instead of the Savior, which is a grave great thing and obviously we were there consequences to rejecting the Lord on the flipside on the flipside, we trust fully in God's keeping power, but there will be reward for labor and service how that works out. God knows what he hears what we know salvation is a free gift. So you get saved three seconds before you die and someone else to say that the age attendant serves God for years.

You both equally saved both equally of eternal life. But obviously God can be fair and just know who labored and served for 80 years and use their time for the Lord. That person will receive a certain reward that the other person will receive a job.

Thanks for the call and keep your eyes on the Lord keep growing in the Lord. I appreciate the questions 866-34-TRUTH. Let's see we go to Shawnee, Oklahoma. Cory welcomed the line of fire] yes, go ahead question on the merits of purification yet I'm in the Old Testament where Moses in the law and focus on just hurting. On in the New Testament, mostly manuscript center point. There is one of the King James version uses her purification. Both are supported by one manuscript. Let on that I see you're talking about in Luke's gospel write literature.

22 right right right so let's let's just look at the different versions here and by the way. Sometimes there is just a focus on one person in account and another one will focus on two or are mentioned to, for example, you will often have in the accounts about Joshua and Caleb's and we can take the land that a number times, it only mentions Caleb only mentions Caleb speaking up in any other accounts speak of Joshua and Caleb and of course we know Joshua's leadership later. Sometimes it's just who's telling the story what the purpose of of the of the story is yes so so looking at absolute 22 222 King James when the days of her purification. You can James follows that, so they would be following their what would would be called the Texas receptors that would be the Greek text of their following and then the great majority of the other translations or or five, and even the ancient Syriac assays there that does seem to be the best textual tradition.

So why there versus her in terms of her facial rights. How come I cannot. On the other side of the creek stay right there. Hey this is Michael Brown.

I want to invite you to join me for our second ever trip to Israel.

Accepting applications on first-come first-served basis. For more information on the trip to secure your spot, go to ask Dr. Brown.org. Click on the Israel manner or call our office at seven 047-8237. The line of fire with your host Dr. Michael Brown voice of moral cultural and spiritual revolution.

Here again is Dr. Michael Brown. Looking back, friends, modify your request. I do hope you can make it to Israel with us next year.

Trust me on this. You will not be disappointed as my friend and colleague Scott Voelker. Who's with you every second of the torrid and it's putting this together for us Scott. I asked him what's the quickest you've seen someone impacted on the torrid Israel and that he said one guy when he got off the plane Israel began to weep that that's how quick, so check it out on the website ask Dr. Brown.org KSK DR Brown.org so back to Corian in Shawnee, Oklahoma. I I just checked during the break, something that would be available to everyone online nights I typed in the words of Luke 222 there purification and a bunch of articles came up, but the first one that came off is the perfect one to refer you to Cory. It's by Daniel Wallace, one of the world's top New Testament textual scholars it's on Bible.org Bible.org. If you go to Bible.org and just type in Luke 222 you'll see the reference to this it goes through the manuscript evidence which are right. It's very very very minute evidence supporting that the reading of the King James or the new King James so that we really need to follow there purification versus her purification, but then Daniel Wallace gives a number of very very viable choices Cory for why it says there. For example, there are one of the choices and he goes through the textual evidence in the exegetical issues one he says Joseph may have shared and need to be purified by having to help with the birth of that's a possibility. Another is that Joseph and Mary dedicated the child is their firstborn son a consecration that would require Joseph to bring a sacrifice and he said the problem is it's not the word purification is not normally used but then he shows how their other related words.

The words for consecration and things and how that could fit so it could be that this was the time, not just of her purification, but if there purification/consecration meaning consecrating that issue as their firstborn son, and he gives lots of Hebrew and Greek evidence for it, and it makes clear it's it's not it's not a major issue to the struggle over. It's a very, very good question but that there good answers and this is not a point we say with the King James is right and the others are wrong because the Greek evidence is strongly against that.

So Bible.org. Just type in Luke 222 and you get Daniel Wallace's excellent answer. By the way for years reading the word. I never asked myself the question so thank you for raising you real quick sure is one of her or when your debater thinks inquired on certain passages that have to do with predestination. I like the Romans.

If I remember correctly, refer more. As talking about the church rather than no individual yes I think in terms of Romans nine will work on his motion is missing.

Hornsby hardens and then Jacobs chose not Esau that is selection for service not for salvation that the Scripture nowhere says that Jacob was destined for heaven and Esau was destined for hell. Rather that that the elders served the younger and that the younger inherited the blessing of the firstborn when Romans quotes Jacob have I loved, and Esau have I hated. That's Malachi 1.

Nowhere does Scripture say that all Israelites were all time saved and all Edomites since of Esau all time work were judge, so this is a calling for service you can say what's not fair. That's part of what is being addressed.

There, in Romans nine, part of the argument as far as Ephesians 1.

We are predestined in Jesus we are chosen in Jesus the best way to look at that is its corporate that that God has predetermined and foreseen and done everything that he needs to do to foreordained that there will be a people who respond to his offer of grace and because he has chosen to give us a choice. Say yes to the Lord and become part of that body. In other words, he knows exactly who we are by name and by face by heart. He knows who we are.

It's not just a random blob of people. But what is known is that everyone gets gets on this boat. This boat leaves here and goes there.

That is your destiny. So everyone who is in Jesus is part of that corporately predestined people. So it's not I predestined you okay going to pick you and predestined you, for heaven, having nothing to do with you and boom on the pass over you, which then predestines you to hell, and that's the only place you can go anyway because that's how you were made, and that's an over's overly simplified way of stating a Calvinistic view this, not that the predestined thing is in Jesus of those who are in him are part of the corporate body. All right, thank you for the excellent questions, 866-348-7884. Let's go to Santo in Miami. Welcome to the line of fire and rubber brown arm.

I just want to compliment you because I've been a believer is a 70 1752.

Now and now every time I hear you know I quite often surfing the net in a different present traders and speakers. I have yet to find somebody who has remained faithful to the principles of the Bible and got first that we once met when we were saved by the more and who is holding all time those values in more important what the Bible said you know some people have you no have evolved have to change have grown and unfortunately there is devotion or evolution and growth as an attempt to go clean the old way on the old man on the narrow path of the gospel teacher I am and I just want to compliment you. I want to pray for you and I want to thank you because I am out of pocket and I just want to say that there's a lot of fine bears to the believer when somebody is talking on behalf of the Lord in the mat on the teaching is really according to the word of God and visit the one unequivocal spine on knowledge is important not not as accurate knowledge is definitely a mama but the seal of approval is when it comes in now and love that not being compromised will agree also vendor what we have learned and accepted by the Lord the left knee that we understand that will bring them out and that does not district may be contrary and painful that the seal sounds they will love. Love speaks truth Santo thank you for the kind words is thank God for the many who love the Lord with history. Thank you sir, are the very kind words friends logically videos, audio articles that ask Dr. Brown.org 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 being part of the broadcast. Today, Friday broadcast what it is you got questions. We got answers 866-348-7884 the number to call and we are going straight back to the phone.

Starting with Ben in New Haven, Connecticut. Welcome to the line of fire.

Hi Dr. Brown thank you so much for taking my call. Longtime listener first-time caller get right to the question I have a friend is been mesmerized by a rabbi and Fred. It was very critical of the misquote that in Hebrews 89 from misquoting Jeremiah 31, 32, saying that God in Nam. Jeremiah was a husband, but then an 89 it's totally changed and he said that was a very blatant change of the Torah and that's what Christians do all the time so I would really love some clarity on that. Oh yes, it's not a misquote at all. It's actually quite ignorant for someone to make that charge Ben Linnaeus.

First you know that particular rabbi that he's been listening to you I didn't want to mention any names. It was on lever arm rabbi told Alexander Riley, Tobia Singer and I debated twice over 20 years ago the first time was unexpected and I did know was coming on. I think he knew it was coming at at a house, a private gathering of the number of leaders encounter missionaries. Let's just say I did know what the subject matter was going to be when we got there. People pull the tape recorders and tape the event.

He requested that we not release those so we never did for good reason, we then made a second time on Sid Ross program which we had a show that was displaced in New York at that time so we blanketed a New York City and then after the debate, Tobia, Sid and I went back to the audio because it was cassette tape and the limit was 90 minutes we had over two hours of contents we agree together on what ports to cut out and then with full consent from the three of us put out the 90 minute tape which you can you listen to on the website asked Dr. Brown.org. Just type in Singer or just go to YouTube and type in Brown, Singer, you can listen to that and since that day. Toby has refused to debate me. He has been offered many times he's been offered debates on college campuses. He's been offered debates on TV, on radio and he has refused to debate me ever since. So let your friend know that. Let your friend know whenever you Fred and Tobia knows because we been petitions for him to debate me, he has refused.

After wonder why first first set of tapes asked us not to release after the second one, which was edited and released according to his explicit approval and line and since other words, there was some extraneous phone calls and things like that that we agreed okay would not be part of the debate that we issued anyway. He's refused to debate me ever since. And the reasons that he gives or are is as bad as is the refusal to debate so that's the first thing and when we've addressed these things for for decades if, in fact, my whole video series on countering the counter missionaries, which is available through our ministry over 22 hours that you countering the counter missionaries 22 hours of teaching on DVD in particular was done to demolish a lot of his positions because he had a popular lecture series for years that that he put out so that's all been demolished in writing, etc. and it Hebrews 89 this is anything but a mistranslation or a misquote and in fact when you do then stay right there. I've only got 20 seconds or so before the break.

So, on the other. So the break I will explain weathers Hebrews is quoting an accurate Jewish translation in Greek. There's nothing going on whatsoever. In terms of changing anything. It is an ignorant attack on the New Testament text and nothing less, than that I will be right back with your questions out for lunch address it to everybody I can 86634 error on the line of fire with your host Dr. Michael Brown voice of more cultural and spiritual revolution. Here again is Dr. Michael Brown will modify the question back to been in New Haven, Connecticut. By the way have got five vines and answering Jewish objections to Jesus the volume for deals explicitly with objections based on the New Testament. These kinds of things but very very simple and and Tobia certainly knows the answer to this and is simply not giving it. Hebrews is written in Greek. In fact, it's very elegant Greek it's written in Greek and when it quotes that the Hebrew Scriptures.

How does it quote them, quotes them in Greek just like for example if I'm speaking to you now I said you know John 316. This is how God loves the world, etc. I don't I don't quote you in Greek. I quoted to you in an English and then if I'm writing a book I'm quoting from certain English versions.

So what was the Jewish translation.

The primary most widely used Jewish translation of the Hebrew Bible of the date, not Christian translation Jewish translation.

What was it, it was the Septuagint. The Septuagint was translated by Greek speaking Jews a couple hundred years, give or take some decades and he decide before the time of Jesus, so this was the Greek Bible. The Hebrew says VoLTE which would mean I was a husband to them. Others have suggested that it's a buy form for the healthy or even God VoLTE, which would have to do with rejecting but that's how the Septuagint translated it although I rigged JM and I rejected them. They were unfaithful, and I rejected them.

The Hebrew in its most likely reading says, although I was a husband to them, but the Septuagint, the Greek translation of the day said the Jewish Greek translation will emphasize that said, although I rejected them and that's what Hebrews is quoting this on a mistranslation, it simply quoting the Greek Jewish version of the day and in fact there are scholars who say yes that does reflect the more original sense of the text or that's what we think is the right sense of the text, but either way, misquote is nothing manufactured. It simply hears the Greek Bible that was done by Jews used by Jews who didn't begin with.

That's what's been quoted if Tobia doesn't know that I be absolutely astonished if he doesn't know that I would be more than astonished the fact that he knows that and doesn't tell you that is what concerns me more than anything that to me is deceitful, let him say why he differs with the Septuagint, let him not deny the evidence of real simple Hebrews is quoting from the Jewish Greek translation of the day used by Greek speaking Jews that simple. My series countering the counter. Missionaries will really help your friend. It's available on our website in DVD or audio form.

If you serious about the truth. This will set him free. I thank you for the call friends. This is a lot of what we do what we do because people are confused. They hear these bogus claims that are put forth in these grandiose terms, this is a misquote manufactured the right of the New Testament erase this word now. Now that's not the case is not the case and what is presented like that people get insecure. These are deceptive things that are being put forth to undermine faith. They are not based on truth, 866-34-TRUTH we go to Bowie, Maryland Ren�e, welcome to the line of fire, where particular, I'm currently Carver I've been married for 20 years and my heartburn refuted the work and every Christian. I'm currently greater care than ever. What you're doing and that I looked up the voice in the Bible.

And I've also looked at where I am still on in regards to what to do because it I know that Hank the Lord but inevitably anything specifically and kind of arm where you have lime sardius 2020 years you've been you been married and when they when you say refuses to work. What is he do for for income while he felt about great, however, belt position, so you only get any money when you sell a how and so he doesn't have. You never have. I like that about every month or anything like that in time to get beat and without any out of the year so far. But even over the years is not good. And how many hours a week. This work best as I go to work every day, but sometimes I get I work from home. He'll be asleep or watching TV or doesn't work for yourself. You really have to be disappointed you and it requires a lot and I don't need that yelled at got it right the first, there's a quick video you can watch on my YouTube channel. When you have a chance about divorce and remarriage in that center asked Dr. Brown a YouTube channel is K DR Brown up but I do want to say this, Renate. As difficult as this is an is disturbing as a man for for me to hear. This is a man. It's very disturbing that the husband is not the breadwinner is not the provider and doesn't have that incentive to to care for his wife and family and and make an effort to that's very disturbing to hear this. No grounds for divorce. There are no biblical grounds for divorce.

So because your husband is not providing a C involved in a church with you.

Carol Gomez never goes out of habit right so he's does he profess to be a follower of Jesus.

Yeah, I will II would say that it's high time that that they you and he sit down with with your pastor or wherever you know if it's a big church leader that you can get with and just lay out the situation honestly and interest in and then he's gotta be held accountable form explain in an incident in second Thessalonians 310, even when we are with you we we give this command. If anyone is not willing to work, let him not eat and that you can say to him.

Listen if I stop working how you live how your future self and and on judge of children yeah yeah girl and it happened like I'm not setting a good example write it look he needs to be sobered up to reality. He based on what you're saying he needs to be held accountable as a real estate thing is not bring in the money and is is not putting his 40 hours of work a week.

Then he just he just needs to do something I and I know that you would feel better even if he had a low-wage job and was working 40 hours a week that he was working and that he was being responsible aroused right right so he needs to be held accountable and and I I would basically work with church leadership to help him know where his issues are for just plain laziness needs to repent.

If it's he just doesn't know how to do certain things are what whatever it is that he needs to be confronted. 20 years is a long time and this is totally radical.

This is totally radical, but if he's just rude if he literally refuses to work. You can almost say listen to provide for my doctors, not providing for you yell at her and her you know where there is where there's some type of of pressure and accountability. Again, this is complex.

I'm only looking at it from the outside. I don't know him. I don't know you. The whole situation but here's the leading church key guys if he has brothers who were friends.

Yeah, they need to hold them accountable and if he just has some weakness if it sends out a repent of his some weakness and guys stand with him and say look, buddy, where you have really help you need to work okay on the higher you dig ditches on the yellow branch, Mac Donald's, or every day.

Here's your job every day you go to the employment agency every day and you sit there until you get hired and you do that 9-to-5 into you get hired and then you do what you have to do and when you're sick and tired of these menial jobs.

Maybe that would give the incentive to do some analysis where the church really needs to hold him accountable in whatever way you can without trying to dominate over him. You need to try to hold them accountable but let's let's just do this and again I I can only give so much counsel because as is not right or fair because I'm I'm not there involved with your situation of the past.

Lord I pray for Nana husband that you would turn us around for good. They been together for 20 years.

They have daughters. I pray that you bless them and that this man would have a holy fire lit under him to be the head of his home to be the provider that whatever is stopping him from a healthy work ethic that he make the necessary adjustments in his life and that the church community would help this couple find a place of real wholeness and blessing in Jesus name hate. Thank you for the call and here's here's where the local body is with a local body really needs to come together 8663 for 87884 is the number to call and up before I go back to the phones.

Let me just take a quick look here. Let's see my call on twitter. I know little Republican in this election.

I plan to vote for one trump to Hillary. Three. Neither zero for Hillary.

Only 31% for trump 69% for need for neither lot number.

The Expo line of fire with your host Dr. Michael Brown, the line of fire now by calling 866-34-TRUTH here again is Dr. Michael Brown calling a 866 you got questions, we've got answers of Queens, New York Frank, welcome to the line of fire drill hello there good evening. I think it's afternoon still is in it.

I bought Crispin power light weight when Christ was crucified on the cross tool. One of the money that was built with him that they both shall be with me in paradise. Yes no we are we are stuck paradise and where was Christ treat Israel was Christ in this paradise that you recruit yeah paradise is only mentioned a couple of times in the Scriptures, Jesus, as you mentioned to the repentant thief on the cross today, you'll be with me and paradise.

And then Paul in second Corinthians 12. Talk about being caught up into paradise. Others also reference in Revelation the second chapter.

So, some argue and believe that paradise was previously in and under the earth, setting, and that from paradise. You could see into Hades.

The place of the lost and that's reflected in Luke 16 and then Jesus now brings everyone that was in paradise up into heaven. That's one belief that the belief is loose. Luke 16 just a parable to show you the Gulf after death between the righteous and the unrighteous. The saved and the lost and that paradise has always been in God's presence in heaven.

What what is clear is that Jesus does several things. Frank from the time of his crucifixion to his physical resurrection.

It seems that he ascends into the heavenly's to purify the heavenly's Hebrews 9 talks about that that he purifies the heavenly tabernacle which previously been defiled apparently by Satan's fall is as we would understand it and that you could say the righteous rule always there waiting for him and that upon his death.

He one of the things he does is ascend the other thing that's clear is that it is certain point, he descends and he does not suffer in hell. The idea that he went into hell and suffered the fate of eternal punishment.

That's incorrect. We got on the cross. He said it is finish the work of redemption was finished at that part. But first Peter three seems to indicate that he dissented into the netherworld and declared his victory over the forces of darkness. He dissented into the netherworld and basically said I am he is sealed. It is over now.

There are two possible choices. One, he dissented into the netherworld and declared his victory and took the righteous, who had been in this place called Paradise, which was also as a saint, and under the earth, spatial, setting tremendous spiritual concept in a special setting and then took those people up to heaven with him or he dissented into the netherworld, declared his victory once and for all over it death itself and then ascended to heaven where the righteous always were so certainly that thief on the cross was with Jesus and paradise that very day was because paradise was relocated from under the earth to a heavenly place or paradise was always in a heavenly place. Either way, it seems Jesus descended and ascended spiritually before his physical bodily resurrection. That's as best as I can understand Frank so thank you very much for the question. Much appreciated. We go to Brockton, Massachusetts. Tom welcome to the line of fire hi back up, good afternoon.

It's nice to hear your voice once more. I thank you so much for the wonderful work you continue to do the Lord bless you and direct you on your team, but I want to thank you for always speaking the truth in love, and it can with a sense of respect even when others are not being respectful. My concern is with with Donald Schaum, is that my scheme is the charm in the same light as I look at Pharaoh in the Bible where God raised trailer up as the of the King blood pyramid and step out to be a God begin up for success by saying that the charm and all who have the public school is a public figure and have given a public stage call his carelessness and speech unease blink centerline in which I think have something to do with his financial expense.

But I'm happy for an ice team of the trump of boiling up is getting ready to be spelled. I don't want to. I don't want people to understand that look. These are two tool, guys that are very similar. Mr. Chung and Mr. Pharaoh with schedule continued to pray and act like they think of me because I don't mean that I might be given on the bottom of the jump. I don't think Hillary invented but missed the trail and not enough time for prior extent depressing to get it on one pot spell is going cost damage this time. First, thank you for the very kind words. Much appreciated. And yes, that's why had great concerns about Donald Trump. It grieves me that there were some who sought I had concerns about Donald Trump simply because I was a supporter of Ted Cruz. I want to see Santa Cruz elected I can understand someone feeling that way and only human of my my sentiments and emotions. Not perfect, but I can tell you before the Lord that quite a few times. I try to have a positive attitude towards Donald Trump. Even after endorsing Ted Cruz and to this day, and that my concerns rose because of who Donald Trump is and I wrote an article Tuesday night after he had that crushing victory in Indiana that Donald Trump is a National Enquirer candidate for Jerry Springer generation that's my great concern out there are people who said months ago and some apparently years ago that Donald Trump would be raised up as a president of America that God would greatly use them that he would do goods to the country and that he would help demolish the corrupt political system. If that's so, let it be. Let's pray for God's best for Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton in America.

Let's pray for their repentance.

Let's pray for their real salvation. Let's pray for God to raise them up for his purposes array someone else up for his purpose. But right now yes I assure those great concerns Tom because of who he is and when you think of of what he is done in savaging candidates by name in an ugly ways in false ways and lying ways in savaging their wives and savaging their fathers and in attacking and demeaning. I could not in conscience at this stage vote for someone who is that kind of person I so hope that that he'll be a change man. I so hope that my concerns will prove wrong if Hillary is elected that my grave concerns about a Hillary candidacy would prove wrong, I'm sad to say that my grave concerns about a Barack Obama presidency in terms of gay activism in terms of abortion activism in terms of assaults on our religious liberties.

I'm sad to say I told you so. I would so much rather almost 8 years into his presidency, I would so much rather say boy was I wrong. Thus, for not the case. So I share these concerns you may be a person of conscience may love the Lord made the spiritual patriotic that supports, not damning.

You said the same. I cannot thank you Tom. My bottom line today. Keep your eyes on King Jesus. The world is getting completely chaotic stability comes only from well, let's do it. I'm ready you're ready you got questions. We got answers 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 the questions we've got answers. Michael Brown delighted to be with you on this Friday broadcast the easiest day of the week for me to broadcast because we are not putting news items together were not looking at key scriptural discussions really have were not planning out guests that are going to be on the air with us. So they take your calls and answering your emails now.

If there is breaking news suddenly gets her attention to talk about. Of course we do it on the air and there may be something on my heart. I want to share with you.

We do it on their otherwise I sit back and enjoy the show as much as you do, 866-348-7884.

Any question that is relevant to any question that by relevant timing for this radio show any question that's suitable for Christian radio.

Feel free to ask and I'll do my best to give you answers based on Scripture based on their experience or knowledge that I have and if we don't know the answer will do our best to point you in the right direction will go right to the phone. Starting in Boston, Massachusetts. Ajay, welcome to the line of fire, sure thing.] Admit here that I could think her conscience for either Hillary are trumped on right leg yet, and by the way, for those just tuning in, I answer the question right at the end of the last hour about that but doing a Facebook poll and Anna twitter pull the face before we have to read through the comments on our estrogen Brown Facebook page but on Twitter, it's automatically computed as votes come in so I just started this last hour and just the first hundred 76 votes so far but I said if you normally vote Republican regular vote for the selection Trump Hillary neither and so far, 70% say neither 30% say Trump 0% say Hillary so that's that's very eye-opening. Anyway, back to Ajay under question. I care. I am rather talking to me about the book of Enoch and he would think that it should have been part of the canon of Scripture and it ate and I'm just wondering if PM did the ancient rabbis ever consider the book of Enoch part of God great Scriptures are unlearning how it not been part of. Yet it was never, it was never recognized by any wide-body of ancient rabbis or the early church leaders as being canonical.

It was widely revered and read, but it never achieve that status and that status would be achieved when there's kind of a universal recognition that this too is God's word. So for example when Jude quotes that he doesn't say as it is written, the the day. Or, as the Scriptures say, rather he just quotes Enoch, the seventh from Adam with a quote that the Bible quotes other books and records. The book of Josh, are for example Josh RN is rescinding the translations we don't have that you know there's something many, many centuries later, someone wrote, claimant was up and we don't have that there are certain other books that are quoted.

Paul sometimes quotes poets secular pagan poets.

He quotes them on a couple of occasions in the New Testament once in Luke 17, for example.

So just because others quoted the minute scripture but when something is quoted this as it is written, or as the Scripture says, then you know it was taken Scripture so know the ancient rabbis at no point widely or universally received it as Scripture it's not quoted as scripture rabbinic literature or in in the New Testament, and if you we don't even have anything close now to an original Enoch. We have that the entire book is in a much later easy affect translation, but you can just tell your friend if you read all of the book of Enoch, you'll understand why is not part of the canon of Scripture and its several different thoughts proposed a recruit at different times, yes, could have some actual quotes back from Enoch that have been passed on. Yes is that which is coding could be. Was it ever widely considered Scripture no 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, all of my in Raleigh in Winston-Salem in Charlotte and elsewhere in North Carolina.

Take a moment to read my latest article.

It's on the stream stream.org we can just the website instructor Brown the Lord and click on latest article is called when the DOJ Department of Justice became the DO, GA Department of gay activism.

It has to do with the federal government threatening bullying the state of North Carolina and saying you could potentially lose over 4 1/2 billion dollars of funding for your universities. If you do not allow grown man into your locker rooms ladies locker rooms and ladies bathrooms.

North Carolina is being threatened is outrageous is an egregious misrepresentation of title IX and this is what the Department of Education is relying on as well in the wrong interpretation of this by all means, check this out this is the stream.org when the DOJ Department of Justice became the D sees it DOJ five Justice became the DO, GA department of gay activism 866-34-TRUTH we've posted four new articles this week and three new videos. As of today the end. Today, 10 hours of new audio all for you all free all to help foster awakening in the church, and moral and cultural revolution in the society of Germantown, Maryland Michael walking to the line of fire Iraq micrograph hello yet. My question is do it with God line in the believer. I believe that the church for the most part Peter that the Holy Spirit allows an unbeliever, and I believe it as well as I believe that there actual evidence that but my question is Jesus dwell in the believer as well as the Holy Spirit simultaneously and I've heard people say that only the Holy Spirit welcome the believer not either, but a couple of Scripture Scripture verses brothers? He wanted second Corinthians chapter 13 verse five and also Galatian chapter 2 verse 20 yeah the the passages you referring to an end we we could've also gone to John 14 where Jesus is that he and his father will will manifest themselves in our lives look were still talking about one God and one God only right right so we we don't want to split hairs unnecessarily.

But when Paul writes in second Corinthians 13 five you not realize this about yourself that Jesus Christ is in you and listen did you feel failed to meet the test. He's in us by the Holy Spirit. In other words, each person in the Godhead has a certain role in function and yet is one God in us right in that sense, the father dwells in us as well. How by the spirit we know if we get a few verses down in second Corinthians the 13th chapter of verse 14 the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all noticed that our fellowship.

Our communion is with the Holy Spirit who dwells in us, who is been given to us as a deposit, so yes, Jesus is in our hearts by faith. Galatians 220, it's Jesus who lives in me, but I understand that is by the Holy Spirit and that Jesus by faith. Being in my heart.

Jesus being in me is I was a physically not in me right and it seems that he is located at the right hand of the father so that his role he may appear to people and things like that but his primary role is that he's at the right hand of the father and the Holy Spirit is the one who's working on the earth and indwelling us, so I simply understand this to be not argue with someone who says I believe Jesus lives inside of me also.

But when someone says he lives, he lives, he lives within my heart you know that old hymn and and I know I'm safe because Jesus lives inside of me yes to all of that but I understand he does that by his spirit. That's the Spirit's role and that's how Jesus lives inside of us that so I would understand, but also like I get into an argument about okay thank you very much more quick question yet written click go ahead about Becca, for It. The talk about Scripture being inspired Scripture good Paris prove what exactly in family yell it's it's pretty simple in context of because he he then uses that again. It's profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness, and then in in St. Timothy 41 he exhorts them in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus is used to judge the living the dead by his appearance and kingdom. Converse to preach the word be ready in season and out of season, reproof, rebuke, and exhort, with complete patience and teaching of this is correction reproof is correction the Scriptures given not just a blast, not just to encourage not just to comfort but also to correct the reproof and that's what Paul does many of his letters. This is wrong read first Corinthians, for example, this is wrong, I can't. I can't commend you for this.

Don't grieve the Holy Spirit. He writes to the Ephesians. Jesus says in Revelation 319 as many as I love I rebuke and discipline. Therefore be zealous and repent. Read through the book of Proverbs, and it's filled with words of rebuke rebuke a wise man and he will love you so absolutely reproof is correction and if we were never being corrected by the word. There were not reading it rightly or when not hearing it rightly or sucking preached rightly to us.

I thank you and this something condemned God corrects us. He corrects his children doesn't condemn his children, 866-34-TRUTH of let's go to York, South Carolina. Many welcome to the line of fire ground. I actually at the Billy Graham yet. Now I and felt what happened out on my way home from work have�.Turned down. The only thing I would like that wiped out here and I like last year, but what you do have been very glad back on Your program and you all and I'm blessed by that many thank you so much. I do appreciate it.

Let me ask you this.

We took a lot of tough issues on the air here.

We tackle controversies we talk about divisive things happening in the political world and try to bring a kingdom perspective. How does this broadcast help you in particular because a lot of things to listen to and I'm always blessed to get good reports from our listeners to but but how we able to be a blessing and help in your life. Through this broadcast a lot of different areas here teaching on the radio is strictly out talking about the banquet you get more out all that what just happened because now the believe that we should be well rounded.

Now and a lot of that. What will thank you so much and I'm blessed to hear that. And obviously each one has their role. There are those that are just going to teach through the Scripture systematically through the ceiling and a focus on certain spiritual subjects and that's really their calling and where would we be without the Focus on the Family's in those types of ministries since our role to tackle lots of these of the subjects and to equip and help believers to stand strong tip to stand courageously and inform way speaking the truth in love in the midst of a dark side. He thank you for the words of encouragement really appreciate and blessings to you with the Billy Graham Association, 866-34-TRUTH of its go to Kaysville, Utah, David, welcome to the line of fire. I hello hello go ahead. Every yeah go ahead. I have a question on the book of Esther goes back to start my her, ran or wrote an article and it was a new order by the standup and more preach on that at one time in the preaching and preaching.

Organist brings about a book master and instilled in her aura.

Where have his phone for his crime against the Jews that it mentioned it three times in the last character restaurant manager and a visit.

The desert twice is because of the same time 19.6 is it that they would let me jump in here got a break. You must be talking with Pastor Richard one Rhonda tortured for his faith. When the St. Louis man Lester 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 questions 884. A fascinating question from David in Utah about pouring and the hang actually impaling would be more likely would happen. The impaling of Haman and his sons as those who were plotting to kill the Jews got killed themselves.

So what does this have to do with Nazi war crimes over over the centuries. Over the centuries, there have been striking things that have happened at the same time that a person takes place. It's only February March thereabouts each each year on our and our calendars and it varies based on what is on the Hebrew calendar and some of for example Saddam Hussein's SCUD missile attack. 39 SCUD missiles and instead of doing incredible damage expected massive casualties. There hardly any casualties and it was shocking and then it ends and it's it's it's pouring time and of course Jews many times have suffered right through perm. There been these unusual deliverances and there are for example look@unitedwithisrael.org website and if you just type it online Nazi war trials and program you'll find a bunch of articles on this but united with Israel.org says the haunting connection between these two errors in Jewish history, so it the hanging of Haman's 10 sons in the story of perm and the hanging of 10 Nazis after the Nuremberg trials for crimes against humanity.

The haunting connection between these two errors in Jewish history begins with a story from the Talmud which it is explained in the perm story. Haman's daughter committed suicide, and thus the need to be hung silly following the Nuremberg trials, Herman Goering, a woman Nazi cross-dresser according to this article also committed suicide, and thus was not hung in fact, Julia Streicher, the Nazi editor of the anti-Semitic.

The Sturmer newspaper even proclaim before he was hung perm fast 1946. In other words, 10 of us being hung just like 10 of Haman's sons died. We who wanted to kill the Jews in case the Nazis did kill the Jews.

Now we are the ones being killed and Richard were brought as someone that knew Jewish tradition well and spoke many languages but knew many of the Jewish stories the traditional stories was probably making reference to one of these interesting rabbinic parallel so it's just something uncanny which is the book of Esther plays out again in history. Hey, thank you for the call.

Much appreciated our friends. We have been swamped with call since the broadcast started almost an hour and 1/2 ago but now's a great time to call and so that we can do our best to get your calls before our show is over 35 more minutes of broadcasting time ahead of us, 8663 foray 7884 Beulah asked this question. I'm interested to know what your views are regarding divorce and remarriage. Please Beulah, can I point you to my website ask Dr. Brown.org a SK DR Brown's are in fact the make it simpler for you. Go to your YouTube channel.

Go to YouTube asked Dr. Brown a SK DR Brown or YouTube channel and you'll just look for our video on can Christians remarry or what about divorce and remarriage heavily. That's the title of it so we answer that question about are there ever grounds where a Christian who has been divorce can remarry. While the spouse is still living. In other words, let's say you're married. Let's say your husband that your woman, your husband leaves you he commits adultery with multiple women you offer to take him back if he'll repent. He says I don't want you I don't want the kids. I don't want your dog. I'm out of here.

I'm divorcing you he divorces you cuts you off and goes ahead and marries one of those other women do you have the possibility of remarriage based on my understanding of Scripture, the answer is yes.

You need to come to a conclusion yourself before the Lord, but I deal with that.

It's only about four minutes long. The video, so it's easy to watch our YouTube channel asked Dr. Brown a SK DR Brown and it's about divorce and re-marriage 866-3487 84. I haven't grabbed any email questions that allow him to take a few more Amber. I know it says to send in a letter for questions but I have to ask this question now what doctrine is right type of church should be go to is the blowing on people making people fall to the ground biblical. I don't see the point when people go for prayer word for speaker selectable on the person on the resistor before making a faucet in the Holy Spirit am so confused I have such doubts and what doctrine is right is cosmically sad and down thanks all Amber don't don't be sad and down, don't. Don't be sad and down at all. First, there are many many churches where leaders the congregants love the Lord and want to serve the Lord, and there there preaching the Scriptures and lives are being changed before being saved. So you want to major on the majors. That's the first thing want to major on the majors you want to go somewhere with the words consistently preached and taught where Jesus is central with his outreach to the lost with his nurturing of the believer were your call to go deeper with this integrity among the leaders that may sound like a lot of that should be every church in our community should fit that mold be at a group that meets in the house.

Some of that meets a large cathedral building so you find the place major on the majors. Don't major on the minors major on the majors.

Is there a doctor about blowing on people. Jesus blew on his apostles and said receive the spirit is not wrong to blow on someone, but are we commanded to blow on.

People should be blow on the sicker it would we pray for the sick and some sissy I don't even want to touch you on. I don't want there to be any sense of my physical touch or you think I'm trying to push you or anything and that's why I blow on someone find that week. We don't make a doctrine out of it. It is not against Scripture to blow on someone and say receive the spirit.

Jesus did it now. I pray for you to receive the spirit to receive the fullness of the spirit.

I will think of ever done it in my life but I I am not absolutely not going to debate that if if my pastor let's I was going to church and that's my pastor pray for people to receive the spirit.

I wouldn't leave because that I wouldn't go there because that that would be totally peripheral to me.

My big question is is you godly man is he teaching the word is he shepherding the flock and our people being touched when he prays for them. Are they receiving something for the Lord. As for pushing people look the goal is not for people fall. I've no problem with pray for people in the Holy Spirit touches them.

I pray for people in a fallen flat on their face. I pray for people a fallen flat on their back. I pray for people they fall to their knees. I pray for people and they began to weep.

They began to shake. But I do not pray for them so that they will fall or weep or shake. I printed the be healed so the Holy Spirit will touch them and the whole idea of some is that the holdings in the fall are some of your push a come on this is silly. That's just immature. That's a big big big issue a church makes a big big big issue. That's the big thing that's a problem that's a problem.

But if it's a side thing is that the major issue I would make it the line of fire with your host activist, author, international and theologian Dr. Michael Brown voice of more cultural and spiritual revolution get into the line of fire now by calling 66343 here again is Dr. Michael Brown.

Let's check on my twitter pole which is now little over an hour old the pulses.

This I normally vote Republican in the selection. I plan to vote for one Trump to Hillary three later. Now, Hillary is now to 1%.

So I got 1% of my Republican twitter followers who say that this election and vote for her 30% considerable for Trump, 69% say the vote for neither.

That's I don't know Outlook all all this reflects is my own twitter followers in our Facebook page. What we've got over 360,000 Facebook fans but are twitter following is a smaller were developing that more slowly than our Facebook site for our Facebook page, but we got almost 21,000 twitter followers and this is the first couple hundred plus votes that are coming so it is a representative sampling of some subset out there may be very conservative. From early Christian based Republican voters so interesting to see those results.

There are lots of comments coming on the Facebook page where I posted this as well, but I haven't been able to review those to connect us on Facebook asked her to Brown a SK DR Brown on Facebook to connect with us on twitter that's Dr. Michael Brown DR Michael L.

I too thought no, you don't need to repent, you confess your sins after save, but after reading your book. I got a download from Jesus. He told me that you asked for forgiveness that are being saved over and over that of relationship. However, he also said that by asking repenting over sins committed, you can receive so much grace and love and forgiveness by technology our sins rather not ask for forgiveness is a real eye-opener. Thanks again make the sensory, there were tears of grace preacher said I had a revelation.

Should we go back to the phone. Starting in Riverdale, Utah Josie, welcome to the line of fire. Hi Michael, thank you so much for having me on the show you have your Michelle before I asked a question and I can't tell you how much I think God that your words are loud and clear and really encourages an informative spirit and what that alert delivery message to you Flora.

I really appreciate all that you do and all your staff members do on my question was on dreams. I have family members that are kinda caught up with dreams on.

They are Christian they are very committed to their church and and and I myself just knowing Micah hunt negative dreams can be in and really miss sleeping but I feel that they they have maybe placed a lot into those dreams that there they're having, and I just can't wanted an idea how dreams are playing into the city and the times and how possibly the enemy can use dream and how much we can really trust her not trust in our dreams that Taras got messages.

I know we have our our pastors to do that for us so I'm just if you could just kinda give us an idea of of that that would be great. Sure Josie thank you for that. The kind words really do appreciate them in an oral team appreciates them. Okay there's no question to me that God can and does speak through dreams. Both Old Testament and New Testament, and that I expect that to happen right until Jesus returns.

I have not had prophetic dreams myself over the years. Most of the time we dream about what were thinking about and a couple years back. There was a dear brother who is with the Lord now that he was known for interpreting dreams and we had seen each other in a few years and that night I dreamt that I had a dream and in a dream.

There were three clear messages to me and when I saw him in the morning I said to him I had a dream and this is the interpretation I believe is right and he said to meet your wrong on all three points.

I told him that in the morning we had a good laugh, but in my dreams it's pretty much what's on my mind what I'm thinking about and that's that's normally what I'm remembering dreaming about, but I have other friends who really have prophetic dreams. I mean, there is no denying that some have been uncanny. Some have name names and they seen people's faces and they been extraordinary, and a friend of mine will be planning out a major prayer and fasting rally and he's playing out a year ahead and someone that doesn't know him because his ministry the Lord gave you dream of supposed to work with you and help with this prayer and fasting rally process in such a date was having been announced yet and and I've been with groups where they are really praying and seeking the Lord together and in the morning the leaderships the leadership team comes together and they say has the Lord spoke anything, dreams, and three or four people. I was in a meeting like this. 345 people have almost identical dream with the same theme, so I believe that God speaks at that. However, it is absolutely not the primary way that he speaks and to the extent that we put our emphasis on dreams rather than on the word, we can really open ourselves up to deception. For obvious reasons. One is dreams are subject to interpretation and the way that the Bible is not the words dreams can be so full of symbolism so full of hidden meaning so full of things that only become clear as they unfold, or that are exaggerated in our own minds through dreams that to compare a dream, to say the teaching of Jesus, or to compare dream to the wisdom of Proverbs. You just can't do that one is forthright declaration and teaching and instruction and the other is often largely symbolic in its meaning. That's one thing. The other thing is anybody could dream a dream and it could be due to eating some of you should have eaten or or no being.

Go to sleep with wrong emotions are to be Satan and demons intruding so you don't test the word by dreams you test dreams by the word, so if if God in fact is dealing with a family like this and they really here for the Lord through dreams if they put their emphasis on Scripture.

If that is the main place of learning from God hearing from God. Following God if they understand every's dream is subject to Scripture and does not stand above Scripture, and that their faith ultimately must be based on God is said and only secondarily on things he may communicate dream then it could be fine and healthy, but if it becomes an obsession if they won't do anything unless they have dream confirmation if they're looking to dreams more than the word then that's a real caution and it could easily lead to error. Thank you so very much negative dream. The dream that your ever having that you can even go for even dear moment you fall asleep and are just constantly negative negative negative praying you pray for those dreams tend to not torment you.

Is that something that usually I mean do you believe that having a pastor come in your house having prayer over having to come in a unit to pray over the house and it is that something that that biblical is that something that's supported by the word or is it something that the person themselves.

Just need to have prayer personally. You never know Josie, I don't want to be close minded to something just because it's different than what I am use to, or because I can't find an exact text that will backup everything is.

This is a secondary matter, not a primary matter. If someone is constantly tormented by by negative dreams.

Note whenever they fall asleep. They dream that they're dying with a dream that they can kill someone with a dream that something terrible is happening to their family and it's not that the Lord was warning it was not like this was a genuine warning from the Lord is tormenting dreams. It's either the result of anxiety in our hearts and minds or demonic attack so we go to the Lord before we go to sleep.

We lean on him. We we give more thoughts we give them our desires we we then meditate on Scripture before go to sleep. Let that be the last thing that your eyes fall on you meditate on the Scriptures if the things continue and you seem unable to break them. It could simply be asking for leader to pray over you for deliverance and freedom for this are to pray with you to help get to the root of what's causing the anxiety or open door to demonic attack but there are there are real spiritual powers and strongholds of the things were clans in the Old Testament know they would get rid of idols. They would it's common for countries I go to if him and like 1/3 world country enable regards these little HUD homes of people so would you pray over her home. Would you bless our home. I believe these are biblical concepts and I know here and there that there demonic strongholds for the past and that the house may be used for satanic purposes.

Since I either go smooth this sometimes there demonic strongholds and I know of cases where leader came in their leaders that they prayed over the whole house. They anointed the house with the lives it seems strange. They did it and everything broke.

It was free after that. I just would not make that the major focus of practice but sometimes these things to happen for sure I 866-34-TRUTH all right. I don't want to interrupt a call here, so let me answer this quick and then I'm gonna get back to to your calls run inside of the break of this. This is from Scott. It was right before he wrote this right before seven. I live in a mocking skit mocking Christians, marking the movie God's not dead as it should Christians boycott set out live NBC in the local affiliates over the plan so that I skit mocking God's not dead. My feeling is what we just don't want to be entertained by that trash and if that's what Saturday Night Live does them and watch it. In other words, if the restaurant serving poison me once a week. I'd never go there if if they were serving dog food as the appetizer. I wouldn't go there so I've seen on video some skits from Saturday Night Live.

The people referred me to.

Did you see this to her about that brother watched it there watched it because from what I knew. The entertainment was filled with lots of stuff that was ungodly or profane or degrading and content the kind of stuff I would want to be entertained by, and therefore citizen will be entertained by that next week is wholesome. You know what I'm just like you be entertained by setting that life that would be my cost will be right back with you.

Call the line of fire with your host Dr. Michael Brown voice aboard cultural and spiritual revolution.

Here again is Dr. Michael Brown why I missed this news earlier that labor parties saw the con has beaten Zach Goldsmith to become London's first Muslim mayor while miss that news earlier today fascinated to hear 866-34-TRUTH Jim in Greensboro, North Carolina.

Welcome to the line of fire are direct Tyler without the meadow, good afternoon.

I have always been concerned about intrigue about the use of audio and prayer. Wonder if it really appropriate and what I drug it out on the lift. All right, you got a chance.

Thank you for the question.

I guess it certainly it certainly appropriates her a one was sent first oils used in many different sacred rights in the Old Testament people could be anointed, things could be anointed for divine service, etc. we get to the New Testament we see, for example, in Mark the six chapter that when Jesus sends out his 12 to preach the gospel to heal the sick.

It says they they preach the people should repent. They drove out many demons and they anointed many sick people with oil and then we get to Jacob or James V chapter. It does make this is as the rights of the units that should be done is any sick among you and the presumption being the person is too sick to go for prayers, the people have to come to the person is any sick them among call for the elders of the congregation and let them anointed with oil prayer in their Lord and the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well so the oil in a symbolic way the oil to represent the Holy Spirit the oil to represent the means of healing was certainly used and I'm 100% for now, the vast majority of times that I'm praying for people. If after meeting on master. Pray for the sick or something like that. I'm just laying hands on them and of course, it's perfectly appropriate as well. But sometimes it will will hand us little vial of oil.

I've had people asked for prayer and handle your vile violence they would like you to anoint us because of scriptural other times of the church of the leaders reciprocate. Here's oil and note the giver to the devil on your hand to pray for them so 1% for no reason not to.

Anything can be gimmicky. Anything can be merchandised anything could be superficial, but this is thoroughly biblical and no reason not to. The big thing is though to pray in faith the very thing is that that the oil that the prayer offered in faith. That's what makes the sick person well so was being set aside for ministry. You want to anoint them with oil as part of setting them apart.

It's not explicit New Testament, but I certainly have no problem with it whatsoever. All right we go to Chesterfield, Virginia Robin, welcome to the line of fire, and not mankind and I want to tell you what I've always believed in ground delay, irately started attending church in our church are long found a church that I thought out really really like that couple of days ago there was a couple women and it always came to be women that started speaking in tongues in the church and my belief when I research in the Scriptures was that if to edify the church, but if there is not someone that can interpret their to step down and be quiet and I just I don't now and please forgive me that it's just turn me off on this charge I did. It makes me uncomfortable. I don't know why that can you just tell me, your plan on that you had sent me a CD onto gray and it helped me tremendously and I really believe in your guidance and would appreciate Jester and that all that will thanks for some glad that the true grace CD was of help to you. And frankly, the Bible says a lot more about grace than it says about tongues but we do have some very explicit teaching about tongues. So in case others don't know. I stand in general I do believe that tongues is a gift for today. I prayed in tongues for most since January 24 of 1972.

Sometimes for four hours of the time in communion with God.

I actually believe in it and I do believe that there is tongues with interpretation for the public assembly so I am not a tongues basher or tongues critic. I believe that as we pray in the spirit and and speak in tongues that some alone with the Lord and in my room praying that I'm praying from my spirit to the to the father that there is deep communion and that Paul says that I speak in the time you edify yourself you speak mysteries in the spirit, but that for public use that it's it's one thing Robin if I've got five leaders with me in the room are role praying together, and we pray in tongues and then one of us leads out in English and everyone you know listens and agrees. That's one thing, because we don't have unbelievers among us, and we I have of skeptics and and things like that but for the public assembly. The rule is that if there is public tongues. There should be public interpretation and environment right so for example if if it doesn't mean that a few words can't be spoken and that what we have suffered have interpretation, but if there's a public message delivered like I got to preach right.

What's the use of it if I could speak fluent Hebrew and I got up and preach in Hebrew, no one understands Hebrew it's done nobody any good in the same way if I get up and speak in tongues for an hour. I might be blessed. But no one else's blessed as unedifying.

So that's the context of you going to give a message, it must be intelligible so if these women will experiment this matter. In this case it's women if they are doing it in a disruptive way. It's not a matter of during the worship you're next to them and you can hear that one of them was quietly praying in tongues and all under the music, and retired about a message being delivered or something that's allowed in there for others to hear if there is an interpretation, then it it's it's out of order. Disney rehearses ungodly, it's out of order.

It is a distraction. Just like a farm standing next to saying hubba Bubba hubba Bubba hubba Bubba I like you know I love bubblegum. It doesn't matter, or if I'm saying the ESV is better than the KJV and the NIV is better than the NET or giving sports scores. Either way it's it's a distraction and is not relevant and it's not for corporate worship, but I would someday I would say this if if this is a healthy church otherwise that you like the leadership you feel their godly. The pastor Scotty your your encouraging the word your your challenge to serve the Lord, you have a place where you can serve.

I wouldn't leave over this.

I would simply sit down with the pastor or to believe you could sit with and read through first Corinthians 14, or even reference this this phone call you on on 96. Towards the end of the broadcasts archived on our website and an singlet like yours are in trouble. I love the Lord. I just wanted you think so it's pleasing but for forget it was time to solicit was German. That's it was anything if it's not understood and is on interpretation is unhelpful and what it functions. Further, the unbeliever, if you're doing it inevitably was there.

It's basically pushing them away as I believe it was. If there's prophecy now this prophetic word can speak to them and that would be the purpose of interpretation hey Robin, I'm a moderate time, but thank you for the question and I hope of the priorities can be worked out here and that is it's a good church suffered some minor abuses that some correction hey thank you for the call. Glad to have you as a listener. My bottom line.

Today, all I've said it 100 times to say it once more major on the majors and you will performance the fifth
