Everybody, welcome to the show. It's me, Matt Slick, and you're listening to Matt Slick Live. Hope you're having a good time, a good day. And uh Whew, there we go. Hey, today's date is uh f uh March 6th.

I forgot to close my office door, so my main coon cat is bothering me. Just now I turn around, but there he is.

So maybe during the break, I'll get him out.

So, anyway, but I'm going to show him on camera here in a little bit.

So, if you guys want to see what he looks like, you can. He's a big one, big boy. All right. If you want to give me a call, as usual, all you got to do is dial 8772-072276. You can give me a call if you want, and also you can send an email to info at carm.org info at C-A-R-M.

Dot or g and put the subject line radio comment. Radio question, one of those kind of things, we can get to them. And we have nobody waiting right now. There's several things to talk about. I could do some QA, talk about BHI, Black Hebrew Israelites, they've been calling up.

And talk about them some more, but there's always things to talk about in Christian theology, in all kinds of stuff.

So, let's see, let me just try. Couple emails here so we can get on those. Let's see. My question is: when we pray, I've heard closing in prayer in Jesus' name. We pray, amen.

Is this praying through His name and not to Him? In his name, if you go to Acts 4:6, the Jews asked Peter, by what authority do you do these things? He says, In the name of Jesus we do these things. And so what it means in the name of, it just means in the authority of.

So, in the name of Jesus, we pray. Those are what we're saying when we say that. It doesn't have to be said that way, but it just means in the power, in the name of Christ, that we're addressing Jesus Himself and even the Father, things like that. And that's what's going on. And so he says, this praying through his name and not to him.

Well, if you say in Jesus' name, that's just in the authority of. But if you pray to Jesus, say, Lord Jesus, please help me, blah, blah, blah. And that is a prayer to the person of Jesus. And of course, you should not pray to Mary. Don't pray to your saints.

Don't pray to your mom and dad who passed on. Don't be praying to them. Don't be talking to them. It's not a good thing to do. All right, and um So is there a big difference in How we apply Jesus' name in prayer.

Not really.

So we don't have to say in Jesus' name, we don't have to say it. But I do, you know, and you know, you know, sometimes, or I'll just say, you know, dumb praying, I'll just say, You know, amen, and I'm done.

So it doesn't you know it doesn't matter. As long as you're praying to God, and if you say, in Jesus' name, I'm praying this, you're just saying the authority of Christ and what He's done. That's all you're doing. It's not a big deal. It's easy to do and you can do that.

All right, now let's see. We've got a lot of other questions and comments to get into as well.

So I think what I'll do is get to some of those. And like I said, if you want to give me a call, you can. 877-207-2276. I want to hear from you. Give me a call.

Okay, now I'm going to get my. You can't see this if you're driving. I'm going to get my cat here. On the radio.

Well, not on the radio, but. You know, people can see him, how big he is. And uh There we go. Yeah, he's a big boy. He's a Russian mane coon, purebred.

Alright, so those who are watching the video, you can see this. Yeah. Here we go. how big boy he is. He's a nice cat too.

He's a lover boy. All right, so Now we'll get to some more emails and we'll do that. And with the break, I'll get him out of here. He's... He's always in the way, in a good way.

All right, here we go. Hello, I'm a missionary in Ethiopia developing a Christian resources website for the Oromo people. Ooh, I'm wondering if we can have permission to translate. Of course, you can. I'll let him know you can do that.

That's in the questions, comments thing. And absolutely, we want to do that. Of course they can. We actually say that people can do that.

Alright, here's another one. Hey, I've heard a few false teachers typically from the charismatic movement speak in bloodline curses. I don't believe it to be biblical, but I'm not sure how to refute the idea. What's a bloodline curse?

Well, there's a sense in which it could be true if we were to understand Uh That, for example, in Exodus 20, the Ten Commandments, God says He will bring the judgment upon people in the third and fourth generation, those who don't serve Him and worship Him properly. And so you could say that is like that.

Now, but a bloodline curse is more or less a personal household.

Now, we do have in 1 Samuel 3:14 where God says, I've sworn to the house of Eli that the iniquities of Eli's house shall not be atoned for by sacrifice or offering forever. And so that could be interpreted as a bloodline curse too.

So I'm not saying there's no evidence for it. It depends on how we're to understand it. But let's just say that you're worried about that in your own household, in your own bloodline. Then the thing to do would simply be to just pray and cover things in the blood of Christ, pray through things.

So You know, I've talked about this kind of stuff before. Let's say you're moving into a new house and it's a used house, someone else has already had it.

Well, if I was doing that, um And I do this to this house that I live in now, even though it was a new build when we first moved in. uh, went through the house and anointed all the walls and all the doors. And what I did was, I prayed out loud as I did that and anointed. And um It's not any super special thing. It's a consecration for the glory of God, for the house of God, and things like that.

And so that's what we're doing.

So you could do the same kind of a thing if you think there might be a bloodline curse or some curse associated with certain people, a group or an object or thing. You can pray over it. You can do that kind of thing.

Now, I'm going to get too mystical here, but you really can. And Christians need to know that they can do that.

So as far as bloodline curses, in the charismatic movement, they are, let's just say, they're hyper-whacked in how they interpret things.

So they might say that you need to have this bloodline curse broken, and we can do that. We can help you with that. We're the ones who can break it. You have to claim the blood. You have to claim this, to claim that, do certain things.

And so some people do that. But you don't have to worry about that in the context of us. All right, now let's see. How about another one? Hey, Matt, stick, Matt, slick.

Do you think the rapture is happening soon? People are saying it's tomorrow, even though I thought Jesus said no one knows the date or the hour. It's going to happen when it happens. Is it happening in the next year or two? I don't believe so.

The next five years, maybe, ten years, maybe. I'm a post-tribulation rapture guy. I believe we're going to go through the tribulation. I believe it's going to be bad. I believe we're going to have trouble.

And my personal opinion of everything is that Everything's going to get so bad. that's what's going to happen. Is it If the those days be not cut short, there be no flesh left. And that's Matthew 24, 22.

So my my view is a little bit different in most I call it depressed gatology, and eschatology that's the signs of the end times, and things are just going to get bad.

So When God was talking to Adam, he said in Genesis 2:17, He says, the day that you eat of the fruit, you're going to die.

So he did die that day, but the physical death manifested hundreds of years later.

So the Bible says in Romans 6:23, the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

So But look at it this way. When God was talking to Adam, in the day that you eat of it, you're going to die. I suspect he was not only talking to Adam, but he was also talking to all of mankind. Because it says, in Adam all die. That's 1 Corinthians 15, 22.

So, I suspect that when God was talking to Adam, He wasn't just talking to him that way. And just alone, but dropping a hint about all of mankind, you're going to die. And so I lean towards this pretty strongly. that things are going to get so bad. That we're going to destroy ourselves through plague or nukes or whatever it's going to be.

We will destroy ourselves, and if those days be not cut short, no flesh will be left. And that's Matthew 24, 22.

And I believe that we're going to go through the tribulation. I believe it's going to get really bad. It's going to be very difficult. A lot of people are going to die. It's going to be a lot of apostasy.

A lot of bad things are going to happen, famine, earthquakes, plagues. And The interesting thing is when the rapture occurs, which is out of 1 Thessalonians 4:16 through chapter 5, verse 2. Rapture does occur. It says with the descent of Christ. There's only one return of Christ, and there's only one rapture.

There's not two raptures: one before the tribulation, one after the tribulation, one before the millennium, one after the millennium. All that is just not there. It's not true. People make it up, but it's not there. There's only one return of Christ.

What's interesting is that in Matthew 13:30, the wheat tears, right, Jesus. gives that parable and he says in verse 30, first gather up the tares to burn them. And in verse 40, he interprets everything, and he says that this happens at the end of the age, and the wicked are taken out of God's kingdom. And then the end will come.

So I suspect that what's going to happen is that things are going to get so bad. that we're going to kill ourselves as a race, as a human race. And that Jesus is going to stop it at the last minute for gigantic celestial. I told you so. And then the new heavens and new earth are going to be made, judgment's going to occur and things like that.

So that's my position. And I call it depresscatology because things are just going to get worse and worse, not better and better. We're not going to escape. We're going to get to go through it. That's what I believe.

And it's not a very popular position. But I have a lot of scriptures for it and a lot of references for it as well.

So there you go, and that's eschatology.

Now, if you are pre-trib rapture, I hope that you are correct. I don't want to go through the tribulation period. I don't want to suffer. I don't want to have to run and hide. I don't want to do any of that.

But I'm hoping that pre-trib is true. And I know about the pre-chip verses. I I I've I've discussed it hundreds of times with people over the years, and I know their verses. And what I do is I just put them in context and then they go the pre-trip thing sorry, but it does it. it starts to fall apart.

All right. All right. Yeah. So, what we'll do now is get to the next caller. Let's get to Brian from North Carolina.

Brian, welcome. You're on the air. Thank you, Matt. Appreciate you so much. Hey, no problem, man.

What do you got, buddy? I have I have a question. It's about the word new, K-N-E-W. It's used in Genesis where Adam knew Eve and bore, you know, the children. Cain and Abel and stuff.

I can't remember them all. But and then in Matthew, where Jesus says, In that day many will come to me saying, Lord, Lord, did I not prophesy in your name? Did I not drive out demons in your name? Did I not do many Mighty works in your name, and in that day, Jesus says, I will say to them plainly, away from you, evil, do or I never knew you.

So I'm wondering if that KNEW is the same Greek word in Genesis as it is in Matthew. Genesis is in Hebrew, so it's not the same Greek word. And the word that you're talking about in Matthew 7:22 is from Gnosco. That means just to know, GNOSCO, G-N.

Okay.

So it's not the same. No, it's not.

So when it says, and you understand, words have meaning, and they have what's called a semantic domain. A semantic domain is the range of meaning a single word can have in different contexts.

So green. You know, hey man, lay some green on me. That means money. You know, the guy's a newbie, he's awfully green. That means he's inexperienced.

Oh, yeah. Or that person's sick, he's green. And then we can say green with envy.

So, green, as an example, has a lot of different meanings in different contexts, and it's called a semantic domain.

So does excuse me.

Now what you're talking about here in particular. 97, 22, and 23 is very interesting. And if we get back to the break, I'll... I'll explain what it is, okay?

So hold on, man, and I'll tell you some stuff about it.

Okay.

What's going on? All right. Okay.

Hey, folks, we'll be right back after these messages. If you want, give me a call: 877-2072276. I'll be right back. It's Matt Slick Live, taking a call at 877-207-2276. Here's Matt Slick.

All right, everybody, welcome back to the show. Let's get back on with Brian. Brian, you're still there. I am, thanks. All right.

Now, I'm going to go ahead and do that.

Okay, so during the break I did a little bit of more research on the word gnosico. It occurs 221 times in the New Testament. And in Matthew 1:25, it's the first occurrence of it. It says, Joseph did not know of Mary until Jesus was born. And in that sense, it means relations in that sense.

But it's also translated a different way: to be aware of, to understand, to perceive.

So it has a nice semantic domain. But in Matthew 7, 22, 23, it's a little bit different. Because Jesus says in John 10:27, My sheep hear my voice, and I know them. In Galatians 4:8, 9, when you did not know God, you served by nature those which are not gods. But now that you've come to know God, or rather, are known by Him.

Now you've come to serve the true living God. In Matthew 7, 23, he says, Get away from me, I never knew you. When he says, I never knew you, he's talking about a salvific relationship of him knowing you.

So it's a different sense in which it's used, and that's one of the ways we can understand it, okay?

Okay, yeah. The reason I ask is If it were similar, then it would be another argument against. the LGBTQ stuff where Yeah, you're Yeah. You're is when we become born again, the spirit resides in us. And It's very personal, it's very intimate.

Um And so to alter the the original plan where a male is made for a female and vice versa. Right. Uh that intimate relationship is important, and that's one of the reasons why it's so important not to engage in the Uh, L G T Z has the transcendent and all that. Yep, the LGBTQ the alphabet mob, what its theology is, is uh Antichrist. And the reason I say that is because When God made Adam and Eve, He told them to multiply and fill the earth.

You can't do that with homosexuality.

So it's a denial of the Dominion mandate. also children as your only way to multiply and fill the earth.

So, you know, it it it denies that. Also the Messiah was to come through that That line between male and female.

So the alphabet mob is a denial of that as well.

So it really is uh encounter to Christian thought. And no Christian, no true Christian, should approve of it. It doesn't mean we hate them, it doesn't mean we neglect them or treat them badly, we treat them lovingly. But we're not to accept it as good.

Okay? Yeah. Yeah, I um I've got a one of my Well, actually I've got three sons that live in Colorado and they're pretty liberal out there, but Yeah. He's a big fan of Tellerico, and he, and I'm trying to say, I don't think Tell Rico's viewpoints are exactly. what yeah, they're not really biblical, a lot of them, so anyway.

That was one of the issues. I was just thinking about that. As you know, he's like, well. I don't know. I don't know where James Tallarico stands on all the issues, but I I think he's pretty liberal.

So. Anyway, I don't know who he is, so I can't really comment. Oh, he's the guy who's running for senator in Texas. And he'll probably there's a good chance he'll win as a Democrat, but he's claims to be a Christian and so It's uh Yeah. It's going to be a challenging race between the Republicans and the Democrats.

The Republicans, they don't even know who's going to. Run against them at this point because it's a dupe. The two Republicans have to have a runoff, or three of them actually.

So, anyway.

Well, I did a little bit of research just now. It's a Presbyterian seminarian. And uh graduate from UT Austin. The Green Government joint tech. Entered his master's education at Harvard, so he went to seminary too.

Some Presbyterian groups are good, some are not. His Christian faith is part of his opinion voters. A lot of people are using the Bible and Christianity to try and get votes. And because Christians are so ignorant now, they believe what a lot of these people say, they don't know the difference.

Well, that's why I'm trying to bone up on it.

So, I mean, you know, to know scripture better, and I mean, I w And obviously the most important thing is to walk closely with the Lord, but I I like to have to really understand the The true meaning of of the verses and how they relate and that kind of thing.

So, I have one other question if there's nobody waiting. Sure, go ahead. Nobody waiting? No, no, no.

Okay, this one, it just has to do with Jesus said he didn't come to do away with the um law, but to fulfill it And at the same time, you know, one of the laws, one of the Ten Commandments, is to obey the Sabbath. And I I I assume that the way we would interpret that as born-again Christians knowing the New Testament is that That's true. We should take a day a week to rest in him and Um It just doesn't you know, whether it's a Saturday or Sunday, it it's you know, it Okay. isn't the essential point is what Jesus would probably say today, I I would assume.

Well, yeah, he came to fulfill the law, not to get rid of it. And because the Scriptures are about him, John 5.39 says this So he did. And the Sabbath is not reiterated in the New Testament. but the other nine commandments are. But the Sabbath is not because Jesus is our Sabbath.

He is our rest.

So Jesus would have kept the Sabbath, though, being under the law. He would have done that as a good Jew. But we are as Christians now after his death. were in the new covenant. And that's uh out of Hebrews 9, 15 through 16.

The old covenant is abrogated, Hebrews 8:13.

So we don't have to keep the Sabbath. But we you know, it's a good idea to do that.

Okay.

It's a good idea. We need a day of rest.

Okay.

Thank you so much. You're welcome, no problem. God bless. You too. God bless.

All right. Let's get to Frey from South Carolina. Welcome, you're on the air. Hello, hello, Matt. This is Fray Juan.

I call myself Fray Juan. I took the name of a Spanish monk. Down here in Pauline, South Carolina. My question today is about many preachers say that the church is in trouble. And we're not including the ones that like the Catholic Catholics, Seventh day Adventists.

Seventh day is a cult. It's a cult. And Roman Catholicism is not even Christian, it's apostate.

So keep going. Right, we wouldn't we wouldn't include those. Since the government took over many churches recently, It could now be included in the ranks of the apostate offices. I'm wondering if you if you think that there might be a chance that there could be another Reformation like in Luther's time, you know, because since the uh It's such a such an egregious thing that the government's got that big Alice. That government, what government?

The American government, the government offices. It did what?

Well, what happened was the lot of churches became uh office of the NA NIH. You know that. You know, they had People come to the churches to get shots and stuff like that. That's what I'm talking about.

Okay, I'm a little confused here, but we're gonna break.

So hold on. We'll get back. We'll talk about this a little bit more, okay?

So hold on, buddy. Hey folks, we'll be right back after these messages. If you want to give me a call, we have three open lines, 877-20-72276. We're right back. Yeah.

It's Matt Slick Live, taking your call at 877-207-2276. Here's Matt Slick. Alright everyone, welcome back to the show. All right, let's get back on the air. with Ray.

Alright, Frank, welcome. You're on the air. Thank you, Matt. I appreciate it. You know, I I really enjoy talking uh listening to your show.

I'm I'm trying to work a lot of problems out here and uh I spent most of my life trying thinking about these things. But you know, I talk I've and I listed not not so much in the past, but r most recently really. A lot of preachers say that uh the church is in trouble, what we can do. And I noticed that during the the past recent years that the government has commandeered you you could even say like Like it happens in the Third World, you know, on a CIA in the State Department. Yeah.

Are are let me get this straight. Are you saying that church that the government is closing churches down and taking them over? No, they're not closing them. Actually, they may be. uh for all practical purposes be closed if if they're their their their doctrine uh is uh if the church is so subverted like like the Catholics were, you know, the Catholic, the Catholics were very subverted.

Well, okay, so I'm not sure what you're talking about.

So if you have documentation where churches are being closed or being. undermined by government officials or practices. I'd love to see that. And you could email it to us. Yeah, they're not.

There are no documents. You can't document things spirit things that are spiritual. They can't be documented. You know how. But but I'm just saying that if a church closes, that that's information.

And if you hear about that, have you heard it?

Some good clothes. Many did close.

Okay, hold on. Have you heard have heard about this on the news media at all or outlets, news outlets at all? Oh yeah, well it's it's in the past though, Matt. The things that happened during the It will push you out. In this vicinity at Pauline, there are four or five different churches, not a half a mile away from me.

And there were peop there were preachers that were out out on their porches. And they were preaching to people in the parking lots. You mean during COVID? Yeah. Yeah, during COVID, yeah, that w that was all over the place, yeah.

Uh-huh. Yeah, it was a very it was very horrible. It was a horrible thing that happened to us. Yeah, he was talking a lot. Yeah, I wrote a lot.

I did a lot of research on COVID. I think he wrote twenty nine articles. Yeah, I found out a lot of interesting interesting information.

Well, no, I haven't read any of that, Matt. Mr. Slick, I didn't know about you until like a month ago.

Okay.

So I never heard of you.

Well, okay. I like your messages. I like your acknowledgements. It's really. really impressive because I don't have knowledge like that.

And you can lead you can lead a hell of a lot more people than I can.

Well, yes. Yeah, let's not cuss over the air, okay? It's a Christian radio station.

So let's, yeah, unless they hope they got that. But we don't want to do that.

So, yeah, and I'm familiar with a lot of things like that. I did a lot of COVID research during the time and found out a lot of stuff. There's a lot of. Let's say improprieties done by the government. The six-foot distance thing is ludicrous.

The mask mandate was ludicrous. It was just ridiculous. Um, there's a lot of things. I did research on microbes and and microns and distances and things on C D C, on vaccines, I did all kinds of stuff. I got uh silenced um and YouTube pr publishing information.

talking about the radio. I actually went on to the C D C website. From the CDC and showed people how to do their own reports on the CDC, and they said I couldn't do that. from their own website. Yeah.

It I know I'm familiar with stuff like that, but um Do you have any other question, though? Yes, well, that was my main question because it's something I've been working on. Because you hear it so often, and many of the preachers are passing now, and the elders are going, are passing on. mister Sprohll and there are others that that I've listened to recently. Mm-hmm.

And I I think it's up to us. We have to find a way, uh to push back. And it's not going to be pretty, I don't believe it. It's easy what to do.

Well preachers need to do something very, very simple. They need to get on their knees. Open the Word of God and pray as they read and study it and believe what it says and go with what it teaches, not what their denominations teach. You need to look at the Word of God. And they need to teach what it says.

And as soon as we start doing that, denominations will disappear. When people start taking the Word of God seriously, Very seriously, and they start believing what it actually says, denominations will start to disappear. Because we have denominations on pre-mill, post-mill, ah-mil. We have you know, and I can see a few denominational differences, but there are some denominational differences that shouldn't exist. And if people are really studying the Word of God.

then there be unity across the body of Christ. but they're not. I'm not going to show you give ex give examples about this kind of stuff that uh that are bad.

Okay? But that's what it is for now. Thank you for that. Thank you.

Okay.

Thank you.

All right, well well God bless.

Okay, we'll talk to you later. All right. If you want to give me a call, it's easy. 877-20722 Seven six, we are right back. Oh, we're not right back when I'm thinking.

I got my time mixed up.

Sorry about that. Let's get to Kent from North Carolina. Kent, welcome. You're on the air. Hey, Matt, how you doing, buddy?

We meet back here. How you doing? I'm doing all right. How are you doing? All righty.

One couple of questions I have this evening. One question is And I have a one C three in these churches What is that five? I know it's up on the government businesses, but what do that five hundred one C3?

So what is exactly this five oh one T three? It's a religious exemption organization status filing. And whether people want it or not, a lot of times I did research on this, you automatically become 501c3. when you're a religious organization. Johnson Amendment.

Prohibits organizations from endorsing political candidates. And I disagree with that. And Carm is a 501c3, and I wish we were not. I wish there was a way to get out from underneath it. But I preach politics anyway, and I say, vote for this person, not for that person.

I don't care, I just do what I want.

Okay.

So it's more or less control. Bob wants to control what you say across the airs. And what you are in order to get the 501c, is that what is that the way it works? One of the ways is for people to donate, and they can then get a tax write-off, an exemption. for what they've donated to a 501c3 organization.

And uh that's my So to feel like a business. Churches are more like a business now. No, it can be, but uh some are not. But it's what do you do when someone donates and you have a hundred people donating uh and they want write offs because they're they're giving a substantial amount of their income.

Well, there's nothing wrong with getting a tax deduction out of that. That's using your money wisely. And so, in order for that to be done, 501 is incorporated so that you can then give tax write-offs for your federal ID tax number. I know I have to go through all this crud. And personally, I wish I didn't have it.

But in order to get out of it, I have to give away all my assets. And then start over.

Now, I can get the websites and stuff like that, but the computers have to go and you have to give them the donations. And I I don't have the money to replace them. And then people wouldn't get tax write-offs. They'd have to know you just donate, it's not a tax write-off. It's in a the c 'cause 51 C3 is a non-profit.

And you know, carm exists, not to make money, it's not what his purpose is. We make money in order to keep the lights on, pay the missionaries, pay me, and things like that. We you know, pay the hosting things, and that's okay. But a for-profit organization is a completely different one, and then tax rate for it is different.

So pe some people think that 501c3 means you don't pay taxes. Oh, yes, you do. I pay a lot of money in taxes monthly. To the government in my 501c3. Oh, I just said 501c3, you had to pay taxes.

Oh, yes. thousands. Yeah, every month. Oh, okay. Oh yeah.

So being controlled by the government. No, no, no, they're not controlling me. They're not controlling me. It's just those are the rules I've got to abide by in that condition. And if I was to drop my 501c3, which would be difficult to do, it's doable, then I would just work under a different set of things.

Now I get a better tax break. And some of the stuff I do as a 501c3. But if I wasn't, it would be a for-profit organization. And if I was non-501, you're technically a for-profit.

Well, then someone finds out and they go, oh, Matt, you're just this for the money. You're a for-profit organization. And people always find some way to turn it against you. But the point of karm is not to make money. The point of karm is to get the gospel out.

And if all the donors went away and I was able to live on my own, I'd still do everything I'm doing. I'd still do it all. I don't do it for the money. I do it to glorify the Lord Jesus Christ. And I did it for twenty years.

I did it for the car ministry for 20 years or so, working a full-time job and doing the ministry. Maybe it was 15 years, I don't know.

So anyway, okay, so yeah, I'm familiar with it. Oh man, okay. One other question. Um let me ask you. What is the truth?

'Cause I've seen a lot of people walking Well, what is the truth? What do you say? The truth is Jesus.

Now, let's get back to that after the break, okay?

Well, hold on, buddy. We gotta talk after the break. All right. Folks, we'll be right back after these messages. Please stay tuned and it should get interesting.

It's Matt Slick Live, taking your call at 877-207-2276. Here's Matt Slick. All right, everyone, welcome back to the show. All right, let's get back on with. Ken's from North Carolina.

Kent, welcome. All right, now, where were we, Kent? What was your last question? Hello? Yes.

Uh-huh. He's back. Hey, Matt. Yeah, we were talking about earlier. I'm asking about what is the truth in sound doctrine.

Mm-hmm. Truth is what corresponds to Truth is what corresponds to the mind of God. In terms? All right. John fourteen says I am the way, the truth, and the life of the world.

Who are they talking about? Jesus and he is the truth and truth is what corresponds to the mind of God. That's a good verse for the showing that Jesus is God in flesh. Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute, it's not the close right now. From the first Corinthians 4 and 4 said, The God of this earth has blinded the minds.

That's not the food. It says the God of this world, that's 2 Corinthians 4, 3, and 4. The God of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelievers that they may not believe the glory of the gospel of Jesus Christ.

So, but this says he is the world and for what? Yeah, I know.

So, this is what in John 14:6, Jesus says, He is the way, the truth, and the life. Nobody comes to the Father but through Him.

So, you have to go through Jesus, He is the truth. How could he be truth? Isn't God truth?

Well, who is God? But let me ask you a question. Is God Is God a title or is it a name? God is just simply a noun. The name of God is Yahweh.

The best way to pronounce it, Yahweh.

Okay.

Okay.

All right. No, that's a title. God is a thing.

So, first name is a. God is not a name, that's a title. I know. I said God is, it's a noun. the pronoun or the the name of God is Yahweh.

He says, I am Yahweh. That is my name.

Okay.

What's the son's name? Jesus Well, okay, now Where did Jesus come from? Where did that name Jesus come from? Because that's great. What's the original language?

What mean what's the original language? Whatever Adam spoke. Yeah on on earth, yeah. I hear you talking about groovy. The Greek mystology.

Do you know that people believe in the myth over the truth? All this stuff we've been talking about. Yeah, mythology. Yeah, I know.

They're called black Hebrew Israelites. Yeah, black Hebrew Israelites that they believe in the myth, not the truth. They don't believe in the true God. That's right.

So that the the Hebrew Israelites are the ones who come back Speaking the truth, they are the only ones who want with Yahwah. No, no, with Moshe. No, no, no.

No, it's a cult organization, it's a false group. I'm in that one minute. One minute.

Well, who were the people that Come out of Egypt and Moshe led out of Egypt. Who were they? Lynfield came out of Egypt? Yes, well Mo Moses led up. Yeah.

It's no such thing as a Jay. Jays just came up on it years ago. No such thing as a Jews. Those are the false Jews. I I know that.

You don't have to pronounce the word correctly in order to to be true. You just understand what the word represents.

Okay, like the word mateo in Spanish. No. We don't know. Here's one of the fallacies that BHI produces: this kind of faulty thinking and illogic. And you guys don't, I'm not sure what you mean, but you don't understand the basics of logic.

And this is why you do so badly in thinking and theology. You don't even understand the basics. I could tell you the basics. Wait, wait, wait, wait. That's true.

What is the base? I mean, if you live by the truth, how can you be in the basics? I think these colleges and these theologians are up on the doctrine of demons teaching false doctrine. No, no, no, no. These theologians, these colleges.

Well, you're all over the map now, okay?

Now you're offered with logical fallacy called the red herring. You're not really focusing on the issue.

So, you have to focus.

Okay, now if we're going to see that Jesus is a truth, and truth is what corresponds to the mind of God, how can Jesus be truth? How is it Jesus can be? Jesus is not. Jesus is a lot that Jesus means earth pig. That's how that's a l that's a lot.

Jesus is just simply out of Matthew 121, this is what the Bible says. You shall call his name. Jesus. That's the English translation. She'll call his name Jesus.

Is so the Greek wrong there? Yes, sir. Bible ain't been edited.

Okay.

So are you familiar with the terms? Are you familiar with textual criticism? Right. Do you know what textual criticism is? Do you know?

Well, that don't get us somatic.

Now what we're trying to do we we're gonna stay with the truth. Hold on, hold on. I'm simply asking a question. Do you even know what textual criticism is? and answers apparently no you don't.

What it is, is the examination of the ancient documents written in Greek. And other languages of the, in this case, what we're talking about, in the New Testament.

Now, if you have any source of documentation from anything credible that shows that there's pre- Greek manuscripts written in Hebrew or Aramaic of the New Testament, then produce them. But if you can't produce 'em, you got nothing.

Okay.

Well, it's been here that you know you gotta search for it. Truth is something you gotta see. You gotta seek for the truth. A lot of this stuff, they're pigeon plus the pulpits. A lot of all these denominations are for the Catholic.

It's all Catholic. You're not focusing. We're talking about the word Jesus. And you can talk about Catholics. There's no such.

We're talking about the word Jesus, the word Jesus. Yes, there is a word Jesus. It's spelled J-E-S-U-S. But it there it's it exists in the in the Well, that's what it is.

Okay, the Jays just came out 400 years ago, so how can that name exist? The Jays just came out.

Okay, now here's an issue of logic. Here's an issue of logic, okay? you don't have to pronounce it exactly as it originally was pronounced in order to convey the same meaning of the same word that's translated into a different language.

Some languages don't have certain sounds that might be original. Hebrew, for example, has a guttural And when you're talking in a certain day, we don't do that in English.

So, when you say you're pronouncing certain things, there are guttural forms of ancient languages that we don't use in. in English.

Now there's an an African language that uses clicks. Oh. And it makes sounds like that. And that's communication. We don't do that in English.

So when you have someone's name, how do you translate it into English? And what you could say, your logic is such that such a person whose name cannot be written down in phonetics because of it, because of the click sound. Then you don't have his true name.

Well, then we call him by that name. It doesn't work, right? It's not him? Of course it is. You do the best you can and you do something that's close to what it is, and he understands it, and that's what it is.

Just like when I talked to peop I went to a Chinese restaurant recently and I asked, What's your name? She said, you know, I think she said, uh, Jane. I mean, her she got a heavy uh uh accent. She didn't give me her Chinese name. I'm just saying your argument here that you have to pronounce it a certain way and that the word Jesus didn't exist and it's pagan is just it's it's just not good thinking it's not good argumentation.

It is not a good argument to be able to do it.

So you're not you sell The name Jesus is not a myth. It's mythology. It's all comes from Greek. It's mythology. No.

It's a royalist, Masons. These are the ones that are running the churches. No. Look, the word Jesus is. Which is all Satan.

The word Jesus is in the Greek. It occurs two hundred. It came from the word zoo. It came from the word zoo. Can you show me the documentation to show me it came from the word Zeus?

Yes, sir. I'll show it to you. Cuff of the words just was on me. People believe in a myth over the truth. Yeah, but Zeus is not the word yesus.

Okay.

So it It doesn't work. The word Jesus in Greek occurs 914 times in the New Testament. Are you saying every single occurrence is wrong? In all the Greek managers. La Lah, la.

Even if, okay, okay, what is the wrong day? You have a problem. You have a problem. If you're going to say that every single occurrence of the word yesus in Greek is faulty, you're saying every single manuscript and all of them all got it wrong. That's what you're saying.

What's your evidence that they all got it wrong? That all these 6,000 supporting Greek manuscripts, all combined at different times, different places, all over the Mediterranean, they were all wrong regarding the word Jesus. What's your proof of that? Matthew 7, it says, Many of them are going to come in my name, saying, Did we cast out demons in your name? He said, I'm going to tell you the bark for me that was never my name.

Oh, this is false. That's not what he says. That's not what he said. He didn't say something that didn't do it in my name, or that's not my name. He didn't say that.

If you have to change the words of Jesus to make it fit your theology, that means that you're the one serving the enemy, you're the one serving the devil. Because he says, Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, do we not prophesy in your name and in your name? That means by the authority of, okay, cast out demons, perform many miracles. and I'll declare to them I never knew you. Depart from me.

It doesn't say he didn't he didn't know his name, I couldn't pronounce it. One other question I have: Matthew 28 said, Be saved and baptized in the name of the Father. The son and the Ruach Hakadash. What's the father's name? It doesn't say Ruach Hakadash.

It says. Um Uh oh, Numa. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's the proper term in Hebrew. It's no such thing as it Greek stuff.

No, it's the Hagia Numatos.

So that's the Holy Spirit. The word the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit is in the authority of Because there's only one name of God, that's a Trinitarian uh verse. That's a good Trinitarian verse right there. But what's the name of the Bob? That it's you that's the wrong question.

That's catch a wrong question. What's the name of the Father? Jerusalem. The Father has the name upon the Old Testament. Oh, man.

The name of God is Yahweh. The name of the incarnate word is Jesus.

Okay.

Okay, we're going to start answering three.

Well more shit. was speaking to Elohim through the bush. He said, What must I tell him your name is? What was the name? Yahweh, I am that I am.

Uh huh. Uh-huh. No, no, it won't owe Yahweh. It isn't all Yahweh. He said, have them.

Go tell them my name is Ehiah Asher Ehiah, which means I am that I am. Right, Ayer, yeah, I know that. And then when you go to the later on, it says, Thus you shall say to the sons of Israel, I am sent me to you. It's the tetragrammat time. It deals with the hematologists say.

So it's the Yahweh primitive roots. You know what the commandment he had? But hold on, hold on, hold on. Let me ask you a question. Hold on, hold on, let me ask you a question.

Who's appearing? Was it God the Father appearing to them, to Moses? Is it? It was your house, yes, sir.

Okay, well Jesus says in John 6, 46, no man's ever seen the Father.

So how was he seeing the fathers there? You wasn't. Yes, sir. Here's upon the earth in Mecca's dead through Yeshua HaMashiach. And you want.

Tell you what, we gotta go.

Okay, we gotta go because we're out of time. All right? One quick question. We're gonna get 10 seconds. Wait till.

Okay, so when can we meet uh together to do that board mini that you were talking about? We come together, we um Okay, there's the music. I've got to go. Call back Monday and we can talk about this, whatever it is, okay? We just gotta go, it's a heartbreak.

Hey, folks, we are out of time. Hope that was interesting and enjoyable. May the Lord bless you by His grace. We're back on the earth. Monday.

Have a great weekend. God bless. Another program powered by the Truth Network.
