Any area of expertise I have. I could be of help to you or if you want to probe down something I've talked about are different with me, 8663.

Foray 7884 just a couple of news items more shocking, painful news from the Middle East. Another Isis massacre just what can I say just the horror it and look there. These are Muslims killing Muslims for the most part just horrific murderous acts with no possible justification in any rational world any moral world, but such are the murderous ways of Isis, of course. Of course there Muslims around the world who detests this and renounce this and their other to say no, this is real Islam, murderous and horrific. May God awaken the people of Syria in the midst of this, may they turn their hearts to God and in America you may have heard several days ago that Atty. Gen. in California ordered the raid on the home of David to Leiden. The man was put out the videos exposing Planned Parenthood.

So, an utter outrage that his home was raided here he is exposing illicit acts of Planned Parenthood trafficking and body parts by Planned Parenthood different states have defunded Planned Parenthood when they do they raided his house.

Come on, what, what is it take how far does one have to go to get the government to raid one's house you're talking something pretty extreme well pro-life groups are now demanding that Kamala Harris, the Atty. Gen. resigned. She she has received. According to reports over $80,000 of donations from Planned Parenthood according to the Susan B. Anthony listed information that's been released. The abortion reply pertinence partners donated more than $81,000 to her election campaigns and so those recorded documents obtained by operation rescue. She was also endorsed by the pro-abortion group national organization for women, which describes itself as longtime vocal supporter of Planned Parenthood and as students Susan B. Anthony was said the fact that Ms. Harris is seizing private property of a pro-life California activist was exposed horrific practices conducted by Planned Parenthood, which donated thousands to her last campaign while her Senate campaign promotes and defends him the nation's largest abortion provider is a conflict of interest and abuse of government power to believe you better believe she needs to step down. Better still, she needs to repent and ask God for mercy and forgiveness.

Your there small steps, large steps, you are there 866-34-TRUTH you've got questions, we've got answers all let's go to an excellent start.

We go to Fredericksburg, Virginia Jean, welcome to the line of fire. Good afternoon and are sure that I get what what we do know is that ask the second chapter the Jewish listeners all heard the disciple speaking in their own languages.

Now, the assumption was that the disciples were speaking these different languages and dialects. Some think that the miracle was that the people heard them supernaturally and in other words, that it was their ears that retouch but the assumption is the disciples were speaking foreign languages there, and over the centuries, those things have happened again. One of my colleagues who is not a tongue speaker himself was ministering in another country in South America and at that point he was leaving the seminaries well educated guy thinking guy in the talk to me about a situation he was and where he had a translator translated into Spanish for him. But then there were some other guys that came by kind of mocking and and that they continue to share the gospel. My friend through the translator speaking to discuss. This is kind of a one on one thing and afterwards the translator explained that they were speaking another dialect was unfamiliar with and the Holy Spirit just gave him the understanding of what they were saying and that he supernaturally interpreted my friend was stunned to hear it.

He spoke with the pastor there. Sorry, it happens to us on a monthly basis. There people here.

We can't refill those kinds of things can happen and you happen, but certainly not the normal pattern. It is not the normal pattern because we see when Paul describes it in first Corinthians 14. He says no one understands if it was a foreign language of her speaking German or Japanese or Italian or Chinese. That will all those people understand it and if any of them happen to be in the meeting with you and your praying they understand it. He says no one understands it.

Your speaking mysteries in the spirit and then he speaks of tongues as it gift they also speaks of interpretation as a gift. So if it was a matter of if it was a matter of of simply learning a language that set the gift of interpretation. If it's simply a matter of understanding with some of same.

Figure out the senses. You don't need a supernatural gift for that so from everything I understand what the normal was in the New Testament was not what happened in acts two, but rather languages that are not understood under three-level, their primary purpose is praying to God and then delivering messages in public with interpretation.

But Paul said that he spoke in tongues more than all the Corinthians, and he said that whoever does. This is building themselves up now. People think that selfish no-no the whole thing of building yourself up edifying yourself.

June speaks of that as well. Building yourself up in the Holy Spirit. So that's a good thing.

I will often pray in tongues for extended periods of time before preaching ministry that would build me up and I could minister more effectively as I would be praying in tongues. Paul said your mind is unfruitful, but your spirit is fruitful. So you're being edified in your inner being. And then what I would do with my mind I would meditate on spiritual truth so the Lord would speak to me about the meeting, right meditate on Scripture or things like that all and and then pray with my understanding so that's been my experience since January 24 of 1972 when I first spoke in tongues and I see it to be very scriptural and I see great fruits to come out of it doesn't mean that it's the haves versus the have-nots.

Those who speak in tongues versus those who don't.

Rather, pulses don't forbid it, and every good gift God has we should ask for and and we should enjoy and benefit from the struggle. We are the better we can serve others at their yes okay out at intricate lack because it's the same gift of the spirit.

In other words, it's not that they listen. Let's say let's say for example let's let's say I I'm I'm learning Hebrew. Okay so I'm learning on the Mika ale on the town. The tell me so I am Michael on the tell me I am a student so I learned the word on the that's I and then tell me that student. That's right.

It's only that was tongues leisure someone said okay this morning, though, it's just the Holy Spirit gives that person the interpretation supernaturally so it's not a matter of the understand the language. It's a matter of the Holy Spirit the same Holy Spirit that inspired the one person to speak as far as the other person to give the interpretation, yes your map normally know of. Paul says when he does it. His mind is unfruitful.

Sometimes, however, after praying in tongues. I will get a tremendous burden to pray for specific individual or a situation so like I can't guarantee that that's what I was praying about in tongues, but often after praying in tongues for period of time. I feel very very clear direction to pray for certain situation or I have a very very heavy burden to pray for certain situation and and those are sometimes most powerful prayer times I have when I go back to praying in English.

After praying in tongues sure thing. Sure thing and look we just a father.

Everything you have for me so I can serve you best and glorify you the most.

That's what I desire. I got blessed 866-34-TRUTH we connect again with Coffeyville, Kansas.

Wayne sorry got cut off, welcome to the line of fire. Hi Dr. Brownback document telephone call shining our comptroller� Iberia profit or probably almost 20 years. Right now.

Not written with generating eyebrow pencil profit very very enlightening book that I pattern but I'm not in any Christian teacher really addressed.

I want to run it by dipstick bucket be on the wrong trail here but they I'm noticing that the whole Bible contains versus beside the Levite priests to or doing animal sacrifices to account for Stan murdered God's prophets for teaching that if we repent God will really forgive us and while I'm at the point in Matthew, Jesus quoted one of the prophets first item that and I forget what chapters I'm on the road right now pullover top. He was response by the length the greatest book I've ever read in my life on prophets as Hessians to volume book on the prophets and the opening chapter, what manner of man is the prophet is devastating. It's it is incredible intense powerful chapter minutes it shakes me when I read yeah so so in short, it was not that the prophets were saying that all you need to do is repent, you don't need the Temple. Rather, the prophets were renouncing hypocrisy because they also announce Sabbath observance in prayer. If you look at Isaiah the first chapter God said when you pry now, I want your hands stained with blood. Don't don't lift your hands up to me in prayer. The issue was hypocrisy. Those who thought the temple and the priesthood were sacrosanct and could not be criticized those little ones may attack the prophets challenge the religious establishment prophets challenge the status quo. They didn't downplay the role of sacrifices they downplay the role of dead ritual and hypocritical religion. And that was a threat to the religious establishment even to the other profit. The line of fire with your host Dr. Michael Brown voice of moral cultural and spiritual revolution.

Here again is Dr. Michael Brown thank you for joining us on the line of fire.

Truth you get questions we got answers right. I got some questions for you ready 12 questions his grace.

A person or owner since past present future already forgiven Jesus.

If a believer fails to confess even one sin before he dies. We go to hell. Does the Holy Spirit convict believers of sin discuss he is righteous, was to be to be under grace, and not the law of God requires anything us as believers house a grace we may completely holy.

The moment resaved if hyper grace is not true why so many believers transformed by the message the words of Jesus apply to us today as God always pleased with us as his children as possible is your salvation. I answer all 12 of these questions in-depth with clarity no technical difficult theological language, full of Scripture and always always always pointing back to get you grounded in grace all in my brand-new book coming out in less than a month the grace controversy. The very first printing of a new book. We do something very special.

We number the copy so if it's the first hundred or 200 or 300 or whatever we number those copies and then I signed them to you personally with the Scripture reference in each one of so there in that since collectors items. We only do it with the first printing and normally there's kind of a premium on those they help us with our ministry work and it's a special thing that folks enjoy getting it. They can be $30 or $50 or something just $20 postage paid this paperback 200+ pages the grace controversy where I answer these 12 questions. I think you'll find it to be an edifying life-changing book in one you want to give up a joke of this one out because your it is your signed preordered numbered copy we only do this once at the beginning to order your copies get as many as you want the great gifts, one 800-278-9978 1-800-278-9978 or go to my website. Asked Dr. Brown a SK Brown.org and you see the special offer right on the homepage signed, numbered preorder in the books will be here should be less than one month. All right, back to the phones we go to Northern Virginia Michael walking to want to fire every yes go ahead. I can hear you going to blow it all caught up on you. Be patient with the people giving the 278 times and keep a quick thinker think I would like to. I know what your video was 2015 conference on where you have been some document or, yeah, I'm really up I heard he wouldn't be a hyper great review so I banged my kids.

I get the vehicle. It's not about him not getting people to do the trust document� Like that but Alberto on the thing a doctor of the Arctic will they market with you to do that, but wouldn't do that. That's not the godly stupid because of the severe call you.

How far people will give your coworkers when they would would just keep talking you ended in there very very very very simple yet looking at two separate issues.

As far as coworkers.

One issue is personal forgiveness. And Jesus says if someone comes to you for hundred 90 times in a day, 7�7, so is using exaggerated speeds or but if they come to 409 90 times. They say I repent forgiven. So someone says you Michael your stupid I'm sorry forgiven. I forgive you market your stupid, I'm sorry. I forgive you for hundred 90 times that it doesn't matter how many times you forgive that's one thing. Now there's a separate thing which is a work environment.

Let's say for example you are the boss right and the person comes in late every day and you say hey I guess I'm so sorry. I forgive you personnel and II. I forgive you from my heart.

I'm not holding this against you, but if it happens again you lose the job. In other words, there are requirements in the job right. You know if if you have someone that you're trusting and they keep a trainee say listen, I forgive you but you have to show me that you're trustworthy in this regard.

If someone is getting in the way of your ability to work, you can forgive them personally but then once you forgiven them personally, you can say listen, I forgive you, I'm not mad at you. However, this is getting in the way of work it, stopping me in our office being sufficient. I I am going to have to talk to the boss about this. So there are consequences of wrong acts like a family can forgive someone for murder, but that murderer will still go to jail.

Those are the consequences of their actions.

So the one thing is our attitude.

If someone says hey I'm sorry, man.

Okay, I've forgive you that you can have a talk with them all right. Are you really sorry if you're really sorry why you do the same thing over and over, that's perfectly fine to have a talk or if you're genuinely sorry and you keep doing the wrong thing over and over why you doing it looks like you need help, but from the heart. You forgive the same as God forgives us and has forgiven us in Jesus. And as for consequences of wrong actions.

That's a whole separate issue.

Thank you sir for the call 866340 St. Louis, Missouri, joy.

Somehow I just need help on the screen.

If you could put Matt on the line from St. Louis hey Matt, welcome to the line of fire. All right, not sure what just happened here but I'm unable to get our caller on the line okay no problem. We will we will reconnect shortly and okay I see what happened. We did, we just had my apologies. We just had a problem on our phone lines and we will be will be back up and running momentarily, 8663 freight 7884 me to see here is questions here every go there you go along. Alex I have a question about Jesus crucifixion on inside and across but I have a Jehovah's Witness friends.

It was hung on a forked stick.

How true is it working to find the right answer for my friend it's it's all a matter of understanding the Greek word used for cross at some just say it was it's a torture steak since it was a forked stick.

Some say it was that the T-shaped right you do have these different viewpoints and it doesn't really matter now. We do know that pretty early on in church tradition, the, the T-shaped cross that were used to seeing became the standard depiction but there is debate you have some refer to it as a torture steak. Others have different views as we say the X shape T-shaped. It's all immaterial.

Don't even debated. What matters is that Jesus was crucified, died for sins, died in our place so that we could be forgiven. That's what it's the line of fire with your host activist, author, international speaker, and 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. You've got questions, God answers 866-348-7884. All right we go to St. Louis, Matt. Welcome to the line of fire. Hi Dr. Brown idea deeply, deeply, deeply struggling with the whole idea of Old Testament applications on believers that I can. I know all different passages in the New Testament all the letters they know you know we believe in Jesus and he fulfilled the law and though your vehicle so the right parent though.

You know, we have faith in him, and that no work just by faith. But then, I'm on getting hung up on pastors in the Old Testament specifically, the biggest one is Isaiah 6617 report up those who dedicate your backup verse two versus a little Louisville, fires chariots, like the whirlwinds execute his anger with fury in his rebuke with flames of fire for the Lord will execute judgment on all flesh with his fiery sword, and many will be slain by the sword, those who dedicate and purify themselves to enter the gross following their leader eating meat from pigs, vermin and rats will perish together. This is the Lord's declaration. So saying, those who I are idol worshipers. That's that the groves that speaking of entering the gross of those who are idol worshipers and following their their leader into idolatry needing pigs. The eating meat from pigs were rats. Obviously, in the context of of the idolatrous worship will perish together yet.

So if you are guilty of idol worship and in and in your idolatrous practices eating meat from pigs, vermin and rats that that's not a good place to be put up. But let me ask you this. So in all in all seriousness, Matt. I appreciate you taking all of God's word very seriously. Okay but has it dawned on you that in terms of commandments given in the Old Testament that the commandments that are listed for all time for all generations 75% of them you cannot keep without a standing temple functioning priesthood and national sovereignty.

You think that's a coincidence that since the year 70 people of Israel have not been able to keep roughly 75% of the forever commandments of the Torah. No no no quick write. I let limitless rattlers run another question distance to get you thinking in a certain direction. If you look at the total amount of ink spent on the diet sees me on the blood sacrifices right.

The sacrificial system even just Leviticus the first seven chapters. If you look at that compared said everything on dietary laws like it's two chapters Leviticus 11, July 14, overwhelmingly, overwhelmingly, the material on blood sacrifices much much much much more.

Do you think it's significant that through the death of Jesus.

The blood sacrifices now are no longer necessary to think that that might tell you anything about other commandments as well. Basically there Matt dedicated tech to blood sacrifices that would that was the key that was the key part that was the need to know I put that in other words, if if Jesus fulfilling the law changed those things by by by saying that they are are no longer necessary. Okay then.

Could it be that there other things that were no longer necessary, because they been fulfilled, not identical more time to answer this.

The bigger question is, when did God ever lay this on the Gentiles. When did God ever the Old Testament, not the context of a David is no test missing judge in Freeport when was it ever laid on Gentiles in the New Testament ever the line of fire with your host Dr. Michael Brown voice of more cultural and spiritual revolution. Here again is Dr. Michael Brown questions we got answers. It's Friday, 8663 freight 7884 I back to Matt in St. Louis. Jesus does make very plain and Matthew 15 Mark seven that what we eat, what goes in our mouths does not defile us that he was not at that point, tell his disciples go on the pig. Okay and I firstly there's there's no nonkosher food that that I eat sets on an issue with me personally, but he was explaining that nothing that you eat can defile you. Paul explains explicitly in Romans the 14th chapter that nothing is unclean and of itself, Paul makes clear. First Corinthians 8 that if you unknowingly eat food sacrificed to an idol that that you're not defiled by his again.

Same principle which you eat doesn't make you unclean and then also through a writing writing to Timothy tells him and in first Timothy four that every creature of God is getting nothing to bees is nothing to be refuses laws.

It's super Thanksgiving so you have all the evidence on that side, you have no evidence ever that God gave the food laws to the Gentile world. Rather, that was to keep Israel separate from the nations and and you have nowhere nearly church where there is evidence that they thought they were also skipped dietary laws so that we did something very compelling to tell you that that you're supposed to do reading. I don't remember no chapter like that forward talking about were burned out talking about the unit coming at the end like that. I will gather all nations, and they will know and all nations will learn my ways and and obey my love like that and so I guess that's where I also gonna get hung up that weight, you know, we gather all nations in another world on the family yet sometime at that at some future final judgment on the earth when the Messiah returns and stabs his kingdom on the earth that has nothing to do right so that that's it. That's a future, a future act when when the Lord returns and establishes his kingdom on the earth, and even at that point, it doesn't mean it's going to be that the Sinai covenant that was a specific covenant for specific time is of the new evidence is not the same as the Sinai covenant in the Hebrew or Cheraw just means teaching or instruction.

So again, what you have to do is is look at what's clear look at it like this you're driving down the road.

Okay, you see signs Atlanta 100 miles and then other signs road to Atlanta here then other sides to go to Atlanta stay on this road and then you see this little sign on the side of the road. Lots of fun things to do in Atlanta exit here wants to somebody's advertising. If there is all the clear signs going one direction so the clearest signs are overwhelmingly pointing in one direction only, which is that the dietary laws were never binding on the church never binding on Gentile Christians in particular, never given to them never kept broadly by them and what you eat does not defile you have summonses but you know maybe they're good for health purposes. Find great, you're free to eat your free Nazi. But the problem is once again to bondage, Hanukkah hung up the very thing Paul warns about cautions to get hung up on. Don't eat this don't taste this, don't touch this.

Don't get hung up on that. It's trap and it makes you put a spiritual meaning on the physical thing that's not there.

Yeah, I definitely been struggling a lot with no special because you like to listen to the other proponent of the root movement are you know Gentile. They will know if Jesus or Paul or anybody said you know any point that you could do the things that you know that life they can even be the Messiah that that's were unlikable there 100% wrong there 100 part number one watch where they end up once the heresy than dumping lots of confusion and often watch the night getting away from us and look your whole life and confused over this is to be a freer center focusing on winning the lost and spending quality time with God.

"See this is the right proof that it's off that it's wrong that that you're getting troubled by things that there is not a single verse in the New Testament that we give you the slightest thought they should be troubled with this at all. It is a trap. Matt and optimizes a Jewish believer in Jesus. It is a trap.

But here's here's here's the other point. Never did God give the food laws to Gentile believers in a mandatory way ever, ever, if you lived among the Israelites and you lived among the Israelites, but were not under the Sinai covenant render new and better covenant so it's not a matter of of G, of course, G if Jesus said to the Jews break the Sabbath and and violate all the laws break the Sabbath violate all the laws and obviously can be the Messiah. He didn't do that, he fulfilled the law. He brought it to its full meaning, but the food laws were never given to the Gentiles. Anyway so it's just completely bogus stuff. I want to encourage you to shake this off like a dog shakes off water and to go back to worshiping God freely and loving the Lord, you have no liberty to sin but you have liberty to be free in God and this is an area of freedom and if you set now I whatever I think it's just can avoid it does.

Maybe this food read health was fine, but careful does not become a trap. I really appreciate really appreciate your word development calculate hey you know if this is the question. Don't think. What you know and what lead to a thousand more questions and before you know it you'll be tied up like I'm not don't let it happen. You been forewarned. I've got understand I'm being so forceful because of watch people backslide over this end up having Jesus over this because it keeps getting worse and worse and worse and they think the whole key is becoming hyper Jewish and they abstain miss out on God. All right. Okay, I really appreciated appreciate focusing for the prayers to look. Thanks very much Terry. I really appreciate it okay to get current combustion 866-34-TRUTH we go to the more obvious Puerto Rico is that the right pronunciation.

Michael Elvis okay Michael, welcome to the line of fire productive with all respect, not arguing in favor of law keeping, but the point of messianic practice during the messianic age that is during the millennium that you keep arguing against law keeping under grace. But in the millennium of Zechariah 14 say that messianic practice will be required of Gentile and at the point in the millennium, not in the great Michael, what's that got to do with today, even if that was the case. That's not for you. You're going to be ready glorified with Jesus, as can be for Gentile nations on the earth okay and just sitting in the keep dietary laws and things like that.

There a couple of verses that suggest that there might be physical sacrifices in the millennial kingdom which case the looking back to the cross.

But why enjoy offering physical sacrifices now based on your logic, we offer sacrifice spiritually through sanctification entity once you once you experience sanctification, then you're gonna obviously get into the practice.

The messianic practice that the messianic practice in the natural evolution of sanctification. Why why why would you go from the spiritual to the natural wants are you telling me that all the godly people through the centuries who love Jesus laid out their lies before God and study the word day and night and said God I just want to please you, because they did not go back under the law that they were not growing in sanctification. Well, look at John Wesley amendment that they practically says answer my question. You're telling me that all the saintly men and women of the past and today who love Jesus, heart, soul, mind, strength, give their lives to please him as a father. I'm here to serve you and and and honor you and please you, because they have not been led to go back under the law that they are not growing in sanctification, beginning at 9 o'clock. Keeping magnetic practice like this are a serious error. Michael very very sorry sensibly, but the goal is to be conformed to the character of Jesus not to go back under Old Testament law you married are you married, by the way gone on okay. If you are married so you would you would live exactly by the laws of Leviticus about sexual purity in your and your wife would be in separate rooms in separate beds during her menstrual. And all of that right and in what what Yannick practice and law keeping. I'm not arguing for law keeping. But but if you have a disobedient rebellious teenager. You would stone them to death. No, I won't let me. As if those are in the law, though what you think.

In choosing those in the law. But what are we going to be practicing during the millennial eight to be glorified, be resurrected to suffer us run or harmonizer, but what why are you even thinking about that.

What is God asking of you today he's not asking if your I can offer blood sacrifices today than don't go offering them tomorrow if if Michael the New Testament. What is it say explicitly for today. That's all have to live sir. That's how God requires us to live not to speculate about what could happen in millennial kingdom on resurrected Gentiles.

Your drop off track with a focus for the Expo line of fire with your host Dr. Michael Brown to the line of fire now by calling 866-34-TRUTH here again is Dr. Michael Brown. I I appreciate every truth. Everything found in Scripture seriously. I really appreciate. I do and I know that throughout the Old Testament there celebration of God's laws. We simply must understand the purpose of God's laws when he gave certain things at certain times what his goal was with you.

Put the scaffolding up when you build the building and then when you're done, you take the scaffolding down the building now stands without the scaffolding. Some of Old Testament law in that respect was scaffolding it if you abolished it, that would be like knocking down the building instead by fulfilling that the building is built. You don't need the scaffolding anymore to speculate about what's gonna happen.

The millennial kingdom and therefore thus we should live today. It is not only unwise because we are speculating of this can come with other prophetic passages. We can debate that it's only wise it's unscriptural because we do have scriptural teaching about how to live today. That's what we need to follow when I when I get something delivered. That has to be put together. Okay I will. I normally ask Nancy for help. So not to practical mechanical.

Let's say it's a pretty simple thing. I'm gonna try to do it which which directions do I follow the directions that came with that unit not not directions that I had from a different unit five years ago, or from the earlier addition of that unit 10 years ago or from an unrelated unit that they have a prototype out expected in two years. Know what I do is I take the directions for that current unit and that's what I build. By now, now, to be clear, I have messianic Jewish friends who believe that in covenantal solidarity with Israel. They should continue to live identifiably is to use and pass that on to their children and I think that's awesome. I think that's life-giving, can be life-giving and I think it's it's part of preserving our heritage and its part of grounding our faith in Jesus and Jewish roots if it is done in a mandatory way. If it is done in the way of you must. You have to that I take issue there.

But when it is imposed on Gentiles. In that way, when Gentiles are told, you must live like this in order to fully please God, then it becomes more serious error. I'm so strong about warning on it because I've watched people backslide over it. The word God laid on my heart over 30 years ago the whole quote Jewish temptation other words, finding spirituality and being a Jew secure Jewish. The whole quote Jewish temptations in the sole realm feel spiritual but it's more in the realm of soul, soulless emotional that's in the sorrel.

It will fascinate stimulate complicate suffocate. So be on your guard yes fascinate stimulate complicate suffocate.

So that's that's why I speak with such clarity about these things when I see people he Gentiles in the writing to be in their spelling God G � DII know there's a problem on the judge in their salvation incentives, because that's just Jewish tradition this out the way it was done biblically and it's just Jewish tradition and I'm a Jew.

While I feel more reverence for God that way. Well, he's your father Saba he doesn't require the Wesley reference him, but not by taking on Jewish tradition.

866-34-TRUTH we go to Corneille in Dayton Ohio.

Thanks for calling the line of fire your regular euro program, the Trinity, because the subject current an electrical current is used to exclude some possible Outlook are you and are thinking about so I wonder who declared them barefoot Scripture that when I read it make you think you have one of the second chapter 317 on for the Lord. Excavate on the context.

There is a lucky hundred 50 is defined. I have it here in Charlotte was the block.

That is why in God finite, the song God is good, the finite Maupassant. The sun smokes.

Please modify the contract if you click according to you, but haven't been completely lost. Not not at all. Not all the site distinguishes no not a loss. In fact, it distinguishes between Christ and Lord in the passage boatlift. The context of a guy I am I I am, as I have in front of the passage is not necessarily that this is the company I am looking at it. A conflict of the Lord is set aside only in Christ. Now he doesn't say Christ, he doesn't say.

Now Christ is the spirit and with a small rice years. There is an endnote notice he doesn't so long since went up when apart whenever a person turns to the Lord like that. But here here's the point. Here's the point is very very simple is God the father, son, spirit, are they all spirit will hire one of John just so Jesus does not exist as a spirit in any way. We got up before I solicit what you're saying that judges title and second just to be clear, you say Trinitarian's are bleeding error direct celebs of the brother if they say your believing error if if if you say it if you say that that we're believing error in Reisinger believing error why you're upset with that is not all, but I'm just saying that sometimes be excluded if we come up between okay because remodeling your you say that I understand that that's that's that's a debatable issue in the some would say if you have the sun you have the father but if you are confusing the persons then they this can be serious Outlook. There are motorists who say Trinitarian's worship. The three-headed monster motor list suit who attacked right right II understand that all all write all I can say is if you hold to absent fundamentals of the faith and salvation found only in Jesus that you believe he is the uncreated and eternal son of God and that he died for our sins. And he rose from the dead. Then there are fundamentals that you that you hold to in terms of must someone affirm the Trinity in detail in order to be saved if they don't deny the deity of Jesus and they hold to the season of the other essentials of salvation. There is going to be debate there. Some say you don't have to from the Trinity� He do that. Please understand the aggressive language that icing only comes from the motorists against the Trinitarian so probably goes both ways and I respected Sir will continue the conversation.

Another day I'm at a time as you hear the music amount of time will continue another day. Fair enough. All right, my bottom line today.

Thank you for telling the truth and being more competent or rotten area, you know, you hear a lot of what's going on and I network PD and a lot of thing you think I'm evil, but I network. That and wanted.

Thank you. I lift you every day and I am more encouraged and I feel that I really gain a true and my other thing I wanted to say that I made it my modest donation and I encourage the listening audience out there to support ministry even if it's a little bit.

So that's what I like to think day and thank you and hurt you and what you doing Geneva thank thank you so much for the kind words you know, sometimes Nancy and I watched the news together initial freeze. It will cover both the truth is that what happened, but that's not accurate, but that until the other part of the story and and thankfully, no. I can then get on the radio talk about it or post a video writing article and and set the record straight, but you're right.

So much of what people here is not accurate you read, you read news headlines. I guess it all the time now and I click on the article and the article says something different than the way the headline was portraying it with a emphasized of II saw an article it was excerpting from actually Rush Limbaugh transcript maybe from yesterday or something about Ted Cruz in New York City and you know these New York headlines no disaster in Bronx and all of their sin, and he could even get 12 supporters to show up and what actually happened was he had a small meeting in a restaurant with a few dozen people and a congressman there that was the design of it and a couple hecklers came in and started shouting and they were there removed those.

It was as designed. It was a small meeting and anyone somewhere else and there is people wrapped around the building, a line waiting to get in but didn't hear that reported that is not pro or or con with process of the issue is just that the wake is reported is often not accurate out. I was just talking to someone in their company. They were upset with their company backing standing against religious freedoms and went when they went to the company to talk about the company's answer was, completely, absolutely bogus.

Biblical theological biblical languages, apologetics, moral cultural issues Israel related issues since you made it want to talk through with me insight on how we should approach political issues 866-34-TRUTH 7884 is the number to call up your Manhattan Michael, welcome to the line of fire by Dr. Brown. Hey I have a question regarding witness and I don't think that I've heard any pastor or any illusion answers. I have a friend who I've been witnessing to, and he's been speaking searching an open and receptive to the things I've been telling him but one point that he cannot get past. If you lost several family members who were not believers and up.

He says he just can't believe that there is a place that there's a heaven where he cannot he will not see these people so this seems to be a point that he can't get past and how do I address that yeah a few things and I'm sure there there other pastors that they can address this as well but but I would say a few things.

First that the God that were talking about is an infinitely good God and a God who always does what's right and it's just like with the father telling the young child. Trust me on this and the child doesn't understand everything because you know the character of the father. You know you trust him. So the first thing he says there were not time at some arbitrary tyrant who just flings people into how and you know you know it's just like some of flicking some of their finger into the lake of fire.

Ha ha ha ha went. When I talk about that for the first night emphasizes this and were talk about someone who loved you enough to send his son to die for you retirement someone who cared for you enough that even when you deserve death. He didn't put to death. He's preserved you to offer your mercy, so your time and an infinitely good God that would be that the first thing I would emphasize and even if we don't know everything he's trustworthy. That's number one number two. There are people who don't want him there are people who in this world make clear that they don't want God. They don't want them in this world. They won't want him in the world to come. In other words, on a certain level being separated from God and the world to come is God saying to us, your will be done.

You didn't want me in this world picture like this. There is an abusive, nasty woman that the that the most name cruel individual that you've ever known. Been around for two minutes. Makes your blood boil. And now you find out that in the world to come. You will be next door neighbors, and shall be just as nasty in this know how she's you want test so that's the second thing is that there are people who say I don't want God. I don't want Jesus. I don't want the life will in the world to come there. There can be the same people.

In other words, there is there is no essential change of of our interbeing there. There's a change that.

There's no more temptation, sin, and things like that in heaven, but that's the second thing's number one the gobbler talk about an infinitely good God number two.

There's some people that don't want God because I gotta bring them to heaven against their will have is not just a place where you drink all night don't get a hangover in the morning sleep. Around 30 different women don't get STDs don't know heaven is a place of perfect purity and holiness. The presence of God is everywhere. Some of the small gardens really want one of the world to come. And then the last thing is only God knows where his friends are. Only God knows what happened in their own lives in the closing minutes. Only God knows what was going on secretly between them and God. He has no idea if they were crying themselves to sleep to sleep at night because they were there were moments in God are you there in and help me in. You have no idea what went on. So I would I would present things to him in in that way. I think if if he sincere.

That should sufficiently remove the obstacles while you fear, you know, this is actually the point. I may not try to let the Holy Spirit lead me in conversation the appointment difficult because one of the people of his lust with his mother. You're very strong connection to her yet they were not. They were not practicing.

They were Catholic but not practicing in and he he just he was with her until began right this is hanging over him like how can I you know he is searching but it's like how can I accept this. How can I believe that this is a place that God wants me to be. If my mother is not to be there and you know you only God knows where his mother is sick that that's very difficult thing for me to try to answer to address because I don't even aunt write about him until he had extra time I'm telling you how I got you got it got to get him to trust God.

Look, I'm Jewish, don't you think this comes up with every Jewish person you witness to Jennifer for over 40 years.

What about my father. What about my graph.

If what your time is true. Are they all in hell. What about when you go to people that have never heard the gospel before and in the civil what about all of our ancestors.

They all in hell. So these are very, very real questions. Understandable point of you know, you choose where you choose the paternity you choose where you had to deal with that with my father was an alcoholic and I you know, to me it it was not a difficult thing for me to your draft because he was he made his own decisions.

And it was clear to me but plenty of others that seem sincere and kind and and they were they were good to their neighbors and they were sacrificial and from a human standpoint. They were good.

I looked at the bottom line he also sees and understands that none of us are good enough ourselves to get why are there also explained to him about brought up the point Loma good person. Good deeds and you know that doesn't want the return commandment from explain the deed don't get you there and went through all of that so I think that's the point where he sort of you know he was trying to use that as an example, that his mother was good because of all the good things in.

I was trying to explain your works. Do not get you have that's and so she may not really fully understand the issue of salvation. It was if he still thinks that it's a matter of goodness, then that's his biggest issue he has to understand universal guilt.

He has to understand that in God's sight were were were damnable people and are taken to the sermon on the mountain say those are the standards of Jesus so so by God's standard were lost damnable people and and we all deserve death and and hell, God's mercy sends his son to spare us and and to to forgive us of their own.

I don't have any problem discussing all the different various aspects of the gospel. It's just that one point but he seems to have a problem with and I can't get like if he is it. Here's the deal. What he's basically doing is there's a fireman outside saying jump in my arms. Are you gonna die okay well I did my mother get out or not you got a jump met you have to jump will will will sort things out with your mother afterwards. But you have to jump if you don't, you gonna die. And if if he can't trust God sufficiently for his own salvation and to do what's right with his mother and is overly trusting God look for my dad died suddenly in 1977.

I've been sharing the gospel with me what you hear me speak at church even started, read the New Testament and I thought okay, little by little, God is bringing him is can we say that he died suddenly I see him earlier that evening I died middle night of a heart attack.

I was jarring that was devastating and yell kind sweet loving father. All that you are far from perfect and obviously but I I have decided right then and there that I I II don't know where my father is. It would be agonizing beyond imagination to think and be lost forever, but I know on the day I stand before God that I can trust him to do what was right and that's the issue with your friend he is he is refusing to put his trust in God he is coming out. It is not having answers there thousand answers for him. It's a matter of him saying I'm making a choice to put my mother's perceived goodness before the gospel and you have to tell them if if you can trust God to do what's right with your mother and you can trust God to do what's right with doing) keep telling them you're not promised.

Another day right right yes Alyssa, Michael, your it's not a matter of lack of answers.

It's a matter of of still this last wall up with your friend. Let's pray right now. Father I pray for the conviction of the Holy Spirit. I pray Lord for you to get hold of this man and bring him to the end of himself bring them to the and of himself, so he becomes deeply conscious of his sin and recognizes he cannot play with your mercy, have mercy on him, save him use this man to reach him bring this gentleman to the end of himself to beginning of your grace. We ask it in Jesus name.

A thank you so much for the college trust God to do something amazing in his life. 866-34-TRUTH 74 straight back to the phones when we return her 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 thank you for joining us on the line of fire. 86487884. You've got questions, we've God answers we go to the gym in Manhattan welcome line of fire. I recall event I'm calling because I'm not encouraged my question. Five.

Research on LGBT issues that Christian you debate people on the left. I absolutely agree to Scripture for bit things like bracket my firm to do the marriage and under and I ain't important for Christian to debate in the political sphere use data on by numbers of citations and credible sources like PDC and pew research it. Anything you from people with no political ax to grind, you know, for example, a stat about more black babies were boarded and Emily Feagin were born last year at the good hardly tragic but still based on a credible source and the all-powerful talking point.

I don't research the Christian view people on the right often brings LGBT issues is very flawed. For one thing, the authorities, they cite are only the extreme minority against the broad confound of medical 517.

Last month the American College of pediatricians say that their studies prove that encouraging children and their gendered Oreos hazard their health right also collated turned out that many of the name of the organization kind of defect that only consists of about 50 to 200 conservative pediatrician and what really is a lobby group in Iraq. Compare now well-known I don't know how I can help you get out I can get you like it had not realized.

Beginning with the shift of the American psychiatric Association in the early 70s, followed by the American psychological Association. These groups have become dominated by gay activists to the point that partiality is not even not even in the ballpark to the point that former leaders in these organizations have denounced it have have even even ones who say I believe in same-sex marriage. I believe in this and that they have denounced it. I give you case in point, the APA did a task force to put together a task force of six of their of their people to investigate whether efforts to change sexual orientation more harmful right every member of the task force was either himself or herself a gay activist or an ally of gay activists, almost all of them were themselves gay activist there may be one or two that were just allies.

When the request was made. Can we get one qualified person among whom there were many who were members of the APA. Can we get one qualified person to sit on that panel. The answer was no.

No one who disagrees with our preconceived notions.

My words is going to be on account so they could not get a conservative. They could not get some of the different viewpoint on the panel. We know their conclusions were enemy, and even then all they could say was, well, it's not proven that it helps and some say harms. Some say house was not proven that it helps and that was then valid around by the news that they've all found it harmful that that's completely wrong. I have a whole chapter in my book a queer thing happened to America about the stifling of scientific evidence, so the same thing with pediatricians when when the pediatrics without clear evidence you have to understand the foremost authority on this in the world is Dr. Kenneth Zucker, Dr. Wright. He is in in Canada is has been on the forefront of this for many many years helping kids who have progenitors for your gender identity disorder now in his mind to give me an idea that he's anything but a conservative in his mind if the outcome is that that the kid ends up being gay but happy to be in their same body. He considers that success.

He also considers it success if ultimately they undergo sex change in their home. With that, the net success of he's he's anything but some right-wing bigot.

He was recently forced out of his position in Canada because he did not now than the transgender activists. So what you have is these horrific political agendas and then one group after another after another. They use the same talking points they use the same arguments and this is been debunked over and over and over again. So the American College of pediatricians broke away because they could. Their viewpoints were completely squelched and the evidence they were bringing based on their own scientific documentation and anecdotal experience was being rejected so they started their own organization that's that's the reality of it, be sure to take a look at your book. I mean, I know like like like Paul McHugh from Johns Hopkins were in concert with only what is there anybody out there that really only just a few people we can count with one hand it when you're not extreme minority done it once you do that climate change denier Hall 9/11 truth. Yeah, I got this one guy one I sent you here to make their case, strong. I've had people tell me I can't speak out or I'll lose my job so so what is it you know it it's kinda like if I if I muzzle everybody in the room. I put duct tape and 100 people in a room and then I allow one person speak I sell okay just want to shout. SAIC is only one person in the room with crew would try muzzle everybody else.

Look at how Paul McHugh is a pretty pretty prestigious guy friends of his background, I may have the psychiatric department Johns Hopkins. He is vilified.

You get online and this guy is ripped to shreds and is primitive and the edges understand this and that he continues to write what he's writing and look, I've got a video on an article coming out on a on a man who then identified as one of the did have sex change surgery identifies woman he now identifies as a Dragon meaning the mythical beast Dragon heard about that right so I got an article and a video coming out on that will why not fill up. I mean here. In reality, he is no more a Dragon.

Then Bruce Jenner is a woman I made it hard to bring to the table at Malik, there's a whole lot of people in front of the White House lobby for Dragon right Vanessa exactly but the fact the fact that the NBA is threatening the city of Charlotte and say were going to pull the All-Star game because you say that man can't use ladies bathrooms or locker rooms, Jim. This is a moment of insanity. The reason to nice courage is not because were we are lacking in research or scientific evidence really discourages because everybody's drinking the Kool-Aid because equities pretty soon people you be saying well, why not if he believes he's a Dragon why not and that that's the scary thing, but I and in meticulous detail with lots of documentation.

The chapter, the stifling of scientific evidence in a queer thing happened to America you'll find it really, really eye-opening once you get a chance to go through it. If you further follow-up questions to be bus one of the thing.

Although North is totally vilified national Association for research research and therapy of homosexuality. They also they had some of their top guys like like Charles soccer release and some other symptoms of this process. If adjusted, but some of the most respected psychologist, psychiatrist of the day broke with the APA's when they went gung ho towards gay activist causes rather than scientific research are so so what what happened was they for the organization there vilified for go to North.org and ART etc. your financial and then look for Nicholas Cummings CU MMI NGS Nicholas Cummings lifelong liberal former APA had this what he says it's the line of fire with your host activist, author, international speaker, and 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 thank you for joining us on the broadcast 866 is Michael Brown. I am delighted to be with you. It's Friday, which means you've got questions, we've got answers before I go to the phones. Here's a question from Jerry hi Dr. Brown does God see us as holy. The moment we get saved. I know that we are called to be holy and therefore is a consistent process we go through Paris but at what point does God call us holy.

You know Jerry that that is a question that I tackle head on in my new book, the grace controversy.

Now I am going to answer your question very explicitly, in a moment, but here the 12 questions I answer in my new book, the grace controversy which is due out in less than a month obtain a moment-get a number signed copy of the first printing so this is a preorder from the first printing we number the first hundred 200 300 copies. Whatever we get orders for the preorder and I sign them with Scripture reference.

It was kind of a collectors item will he do it with that first printing when it first comes out so tight he can get it in a moment, but here are the questions I answer in the book is grace a person or all our sins past, present and future ready forgiven Jesus. If a believer fails to confess even once, and before he dies.

We go to hell.

Does the Holy Spirit convict believers of sin does God see us as righteous, listening to be under grace, and not the law of God requires anything of us as believers house a grace only made completely holy.

The moment was say there is question number eight of hyper grace is not true why so many believers transformed by the message the words of Jesus apply to us today as God was pleased� His children. Is it possible lose your salvation.

Those 12 questions I answer in the book of saying get it in a moment. So Jerry answered question the moment that your born-again, the very split second that your sins are forgiven. God pronounces you holy. That means at that moment he sees you as set aside to him, set apart from sin, set aside to him at that moment you are justified. At that moment your pronounced righteous at that moment your pronounce forgiven at that moment you become a child of God. At that moment you pass from the kingdom of darkness into the kingdom of life at that moment first Christmas chapter 611 Paul talking about all the various lifestyles.

Those who practice adultery. Those who practice fornication. Those who practice drunkenness those who practice homosexuality will not enter the kingdom of heaven aces and that's what some of you were but you were past tense washed, you were past and sanctify you were justified by the spirit of the Lord of the blood of Jesus and by the spirit of the Lord. So at that moment you set apart as holy prescriptions one to the saints in Corinth was at holy once called saints and called to be saints. So the moment was say we are called holy now, as you rightly say we are called to be holy. Sanctification is past present future. The moment your saved, set apart as holy now ongoing be holy in all your conduct perfect holiness in the fear of the Lord now we grow in holiness, all the days of our lives.

And then when we are with the Lord when we are glorified we are resurrected will be perfectly holy forever is past present future hyper grace. People misunderstand that brutally, and they say that if you say sex vacations progressive, that's a spiritually murderous life very, very serious error in hyper grace to get the book folks to get the book. This assigned number copy only $20 postage paid early this first edition signed, collectors items $30 and $50 but we can we can use a very special time $20 postage paid 1-800-278-9978.

That's 1-800-278-9978 order my website ask Dr. Brown ask ADR Brown.org right on the homepage. Can't wait to get this out to you right Eric you letting your first when we come back on the other side of the break in the line of fire with your host Dr. Michael Brown get into the line of fire now by calling 8663 here again is Dr. Michael Brown.

Looking back, fire Brown delighted to be with you got questions, we've gone answers, 866-348-7884 the Redding California Eric, welcome to the line of fire burning in the well. Thank you. Life you will, mikvah motion. The wonderful excited talk to you bear the concordance. But you did, my question about Olinger. I'm sure there's more to talk about unholiness� But thanks for the gibberish yesterday.

I my mind.

My relationship with your work and your ministry is, long about a few years ago August 2000 under North America so close hyper grace, folk, and I was actually overseas student and parent night fell on when you're faced with the care of the search alive video recording of a sermon when you're preaching on your remark anathema near Kirk got in with all applicable double-click out in the closet were covered in (kind of going to bed early in my room quietly. When your video, iPhone and Internet in the picture and earn income and are looking to the comfort of Don and I really taken a good idea here to talk about our food described what I hope to understand. Looking back on what you're going or confirm the Lord called me back in the study, preferring an undergraduate degree in pharmacology. I deleted undergraduate study felt song you're hooked up and would also like telling which school will be going to look at your owner awesome.

I'm really looking forward to working protruded from remote quirks, though.

Gail yeah you can expect it in an environment like that. We've got some brilliant scholars really really sharp top people of, but often a very different view of Scripture and often every different understanding of what it means to follow Jesus you can sometimes get intimidated because the feeling is will they know so much more than I know. And yet there trashing things sacred to me or try to say like that.

You also know scholars believe that kind of thing and it all depends on the prof summerlike that some some on but in point of fact, there are plenty of people also brilliant just as smart as the scholars there and they have a different perspective. They they say no note there is good evidence for faith so that the key thing always wanted you is keep your own spiritual life strong and intact you want you want to do your best to fill yourself up in the Lord and keep in the fire burning bright and then enjoy the challenge like good good. This is an aromatic grow. This is this is an area where I'm going to get stronger and and and never never be intimidated by it. And if your strongest hey these questions have been asked a lot of us that some of the classes you know these classes have been asked questions have been asked and their their solid answers for all of them. So anyway that's that's great to hear and alright so any any other question we could talk about regarding holiness is that an armed groomer will convert. There are three different topics and archery equipment Ricoh come through the regulating translation of nuclear realtor Psalm creating the eternal reign of the Lord glory how waters are so high water. I and then, declared Lord you are higher than the last word because English is your testimonies are very sure for that little thing that reads holiness adorns your house Lord forever and I'm trying to nurse myself with this holiness thing that you kind of part 100 if you could elaborate one. Was talking that we should only use adorns your house because you you you live in Ellicott New Testament understanding on this of you to be the question that your engineer coming. But that about. I wonder what the human perspective on the phone with his writing on the communion fan holiness adorns your house. What is that how got quite yeah sure I want to know your Scripture in a manner like restraining I want.

I do believe this is.where do we want to strengthen myself in the Old Testament book of the great yes yes absolutely a few things first. After praising God and his greatness. There where it's now speaking of the things that he has given that the rules that he he sat down, the instructions that he's given because member. This is Israel's God in Israel is obeying God's law, God's teaching God's total raw. That's why you often have the, the laws of God praised in the Scriptures and those laws reflect God's holiness. They reflect his otherness. They reflect his his purity, his justice, they reflect his ways, they will. I remember many years ago the early 1990s while reading through the five books of Moses. In particular, Leviticus, just getting overwhelmed by thoughts of God's holiness and making spiritual application.

Because of that.

So for example, the, the fact that priests could not serve in the tabernacle. If they had a defect that seems cruel and if the guys hunchback were or the guy has some problem of the size we has a running sore supply that he he couldn't serve in the priesthood.

But there was a reason it was sending that message of absolute separation when when God judged at an end of only coming with a whole heart. You wouldn't you wouldn't offer an animal that was defective.

Malachi the Lord asked the question if you got some handicap has some lame.

She pursuant that's defective. I can offer that you know to a governor here. Let's use this for a feast or something of things missing and I and a leg know what why would you offer that to the Lord. So all these physical earthly things are teaching us spiritual essence.

In fact, in the larger scope of things and and I'll come back to the specific holiness in this verse the larger scope of things. Everything within the law had a certain didactic purpose and even if you look at see the building of the tabernacle in the the things that were the holiest of all, they were covered in gold and then the holy things in silver and in the things in the outer court in bronze.

So you had kind of this three-tiered division. Now when you look at that the animal kingdom you had animals that were unclean could meet those little animals that were clean and then animals that were holy meaning acceptable for sacrifice to have us division between clean and unclean holy the people as a whole. You had the unclean had to be outside the camp you had to clean.

That was the people as a whole and then you have the holy those that could serve within the tabernacle or temple.

So there is this constant bifurcation or try for occasions research work where were Israel's constantly being confronted with these earthly realities to give them spiritual understanding that we know is Jesus makes clear New Testament that which you physically eat.

It doesn't defile your spirit, because his physical food doesn't defile your spirit with the foster spirit or unclean thoughts and attitudes and things like that but what we see here is praising God for his testimonies. His standards is his ways that he's reveal what he's requiring of his people Israel, and then with that saying. Holiness becomes your house Lord Shamim Foote for length of days, which we know the safe forever or for all times, meaning that these things are appropriate for your dwelling place for your house. You are powerful and mighty exalted God the earthly temple being in a sense of a a a sign of the heavenly temple and and in God's presence. So these laws these commands a reflective of your holy character and holiness becomes your house you're an awesome and powerful God and your God, who is utterly separated from sin and an overly perfect and just and pure in every way, so his laws and holiness kind of two sides of the same coin. And because this is the sanctuary, the place of worship and also the Psalms were sung off the temple can be central in that theology. So those are just some of the thoughts that come to mind. And when we understand the we can really live powerfully when we understand the things that hyper grace gets right and eliminate the things that hyper grace gets wrong, so hyper grace gets right that we are set apart as holy. The moment was saved.

Hyper grace gets right that were in that forgiving column that say, forgiving column middle.

Have you resaved every day. Hyper grace gets rife that that you don't go to hell because you forgot to confess one sin know that you use. You kick the kitten you know pushed him away with your foot and forgot to ask forgiveness for before you went to sleep that you guide your sleep you a hell of a race right and stands at hyper grace rightly understands that God's grace empowers us to sin empowers us to overcome sin, but gets so many other things dangerously wrong that that it ends up counterbalancing in many cases, bringing real destruction so hey Eric, keep us posted that your journeys in Princeton. If you ever run into some tough questions there.

Let us know. Okay doctors are important.

Here are my joy and I love the story of how you came across our ministry. Hey, one other thing Eric there is a professor there who wrote the book almost Christian look up almost Christian. I believe it's a Princeton prophet, it's an awesome book. The line of fire with your host Dr. Michael Brown voice of more cultural and spiritual revolution.

Here again is Dr. Michael Brown thank you so much for joining us on life are 86487884 is the recall, you got questions, we've got answers.

Let me get to some email questions, and anonymous question dear Dr. Brown how can Christians know when to avoid anger. Christians always avoid anger is anger, sin, about righteous anger. How can Christians control their anger with some helpful tips you could we give to Christian struggling with anger, you know, I struggled with anger as a new believer, I had a fierce temper before I was saved if it would be triggered over jealous things in and I just I just go berserk with my tongue and I was terror to people when when I lost my temper my best friends you have a name for me and they call me by the southern name when I lost my temper just because I Became another person and when I first got saved. The thing flared up a few times and I realized okay I have to I have to learn to deal with this now. Sometimes there are demonic strongholds and we we have to renounce the enemy. Sometimes people get so bound up the thing they they need some truly pray for them and and to help them get set free and is sometimes where Rigali counseling is helpful to help people get to the reasons for their anger and why they respond health joint overcome but on the basic spiritual level when I realized the book of Proverbs, a patient man is better than a warrior and the one controls the spirit than he who takes a city shell group home located near the one who rules over his spirit is better than the one who takes a city.

I realized I had to rule over this in Jesus and I remember the times when when the thing would be flat are a subset of the inside I just slay them, pray this worship, a sort have to master this, I have to control my spirit. I would encourage you to read through the book of Proverbs right and mark down every verse that deals with being short tempered every verse that deals with being patient and write those verses out copy them into a document and read them and pray over them on a daily basis you will see that a hot tempered person stirs up all kinds of strife you will see that one of the images is that a a hot tempered, or a short fused person exalts folly which are basically doing it and let this picture getting your head when you lose your temper on your wife or your kids or your coworkers your friends your holding up a sign saying I am a fool I am a fool. That's what you do when you lose your temper when you give way to these things as you meditate on this renew your heart and your mind.

It really does make a difference and look at their some uncontrollable rage in yellow is a wonderful thing out here throwing things over the I would sit with her pastor leaders of the school on and and and let's get to the root of this but in the vast majority of cases through our relationship with God and renewing our minds. According to the word urine overcome or you're not a slave to your temper your you are the master of your temper and not the slave of your temper. Ultimately, that has to do what you say patient spawn react if you can get these images in your mind, your previous account to 10 will have Alva get some of these images in your mind you're Proverbs 15 one. A soft answer. The harsh word stirs up strife for the soft answer turns away wrath that if you say okay I am about to provoke something much worse. But I could put it out by simply saying you're right, I'm sorry you find then grace God gives grace to the humble.

Humble yourself, you should grace how I okay, right now, so these are things that are very helpful and and James Jacobs the first chapter tells us the anger of man does not accomplish God's righteous will that is there a righteous anger. Oh yeah you encounter false or you encounter injustice. Somebody caught for human trafficking and and they should spend the rest of the life behind bars and instead they cut some deal with it with a corrupt justice system and they get out a year ago, back to trafficking that that should anger us, but it's totally different. The flesh, the anger that anger drives us to prayer that anger drives us to serve that anger drives us to do it's right flesh. The anger drives us in a nonconstructive way. I hope that does help. Let's see Andrew if the preaching of the cross is foolishness to those were perishing, according to prescriptions 118. What is for scripting 315 70 to defend our faith to issues when I'm preaching the gospel to someone that message and of itself will be foolishness that that someone die on the cross. 2000 years ago can save them from their sins it, it's an obstacle it's problematic in in different ways. It's it it's it's some some that the natural mind doesn't understand but it doesn't mean the natural man mind understands nothing. This is a natural mind is totally helpless to understand anything so the fact is many people you have questions and if we can give them a reasonable response they can listen to the rest of the message apologetics in many ways is pre-evangelism apologetics in many ways is getting someone ready to hear the rest of the message and then by the revelation of the Holy Spirit draws can be open to salvation. But if I can even answer some simple question why they even going to listen to me. Faith asks how I answer those who say if God knows everything and why the estimable emotional he's going to hell. I know the answer but if you trust God. The some general need the answer but I do need it. So to know how to answer. Others who do ask a person would you rather not exist. Now I'm glad I okay would you rather that God took away your free will know okay well then if he's going to bring you into existence and is going to be free will then you are going to end up in that regard where you want to with God without God and through it all, God will show his goodness and his rightness literacy will have mercy, and he will punish the wicked, and in doing both. He will show that he's good, but you cannot have a world where anyone has a free choice if everyone's choice is limited from before the foundation of the world and in other. In other words, if they want a world like that that everybody just goes to heaven there is no choice that there's no good.

There is no bad there's no right. There is no wrong that you shouldn't just yours after not zapped so very simply God chose to bring the Creek to create human beings to bring the mineral knowing fully what their destiny was the dance with that testing would be a destiny that they chose and he wanted people who would freely love him, love cannot be coerced.

That's the short answer of there's more to be said that that's the short answer going rancid amount of time.
