Matt Slick Live

The following program is recorded content created by the Truth Network. And let's see, it's March 22nd, 2021. Hey, if you want to give me a call, we have five open lines.

All you have to do is dial 877-207-2276. I want to hear from you. All right, just to remind you, let's see, how can we get to this? Oh, yeah, the Israel trip. We're still doing the Israel trip. Well, this would be mentioning it periodically here. We're going to Israel a year from this month. And if you want to check it out, just go to karmisrael.com, and you can check out the information. We've got people signing up.

It'll be fun. And let's see, we've got schools. If you're interested in checking out the schools, you can go to karm.org forward slash schools, and you can get information on those as well. School of Theology, School of Apologetics, and the School on Critical Thinking. And if you like to think or want to know how to think a little bit better about some things, you have to know your theology and stuff like that.

I recommend if you get one of them, get the theology school and learn what your theology is because you've got to do that. All right, four open lines, 877-207-2276. If you want to watch me, which is not a big deal, but if you do, some people like to, you can go to the KARM home page, C-A-R-M dot O-R-G. In the home page, you'll see me sitting in my chair in my office talking with a headset on, and there's people in a chat room. Usually we have 29 right now, and we get about 60 usually within the next few minutes. And people chat.

It's kind of become a small community. So if you want to join us and chat and talk to people who like mind or even have a different mind, you can go to KARM.org and look at the home page. All right, and you don't have to do this very often at all, but I just want to let you know that we stay on the air by your donations. I'm not begging. I'm just telling you, hey, we need donations to stay on the air. The Lord has blessed us for many years to do radio, and if you like what you hear and you want to see me or, excuse me, hear me more on the radio, more stations and things like that, then all you've got to do is just go to KARM.org forward slash donate and help us out. Every bit helps, okay?

All right, I think that is it. So why don't you give me a call? Four open lines, 877-207-2276. Let's get to Ramon from Utah. Hey, Ramon, welcome.

You're on the air. How are you doing, brother? Doing all right, by God's grace.

Hanging in there. That's good. So I've been listening to you for the past 10 years. I was in prison when I first started. You got me connected to the Reformed theology. You're one of the pastors that did so. I got out of prison in 2020, and I got out of the halfway house just recently, but I'm now back in the halfway house.

But scripture says to confess our false ones to another. So I'd like to know if you can pray for me on your own time or whatever is beneficial or whatever. I just started falling into certain types of drugs.

I've just been backsliding quite a bit. Okay. What I'm going to do is, do you have access to the Internet? Yes, I do a little bit.

Okay. There's a guy I'd like you to contact if that's okay with you, Chad Prigmore. He's a friend of mine. He's a pastor. He's an ex-drug addict alcoholic, and now he's a pastor. He runs a recovery program, but it's not the 12 Steps blasphemy. It's a good program.

A lot of people recommended me. I'm sorry, go ahead. Yeah, a lot of people, a lot of pastors have recommended me to celebrate recovery, but I understand the idolatry behind it. Yeah, celebrate recovery.

Let's just say that I would recommend Chad. He uses the Heidelberg Catechism and deals with the issue of what sin is and confession and repentance and the steps of sanctification and things like that. I don't know if you're doing injectables and you don't have to tell me or anything like that, but I need to tell you something because sometimes getting scared can help you. The word for sorcery is pharmakeia. Maybe you know that already, but there's a demonic connection with drug abuse. I also have a friend who was a paramedic, and he told me that on 11 he counted them. He added them up and counted 11 different occasions. I don't know if you've heard this story either, but I'll just say it anyway. When he was a paramedic in New York, he would go to the drug houses, and people would be dead and some alive, some in comatose states, and they would rescue people, do it all the time. It was their job as paramedics. He said 11 different times that dead people would sit up and in a strange voice say variations of the sentence, he or she is mine, you can't have him, while he's working on somebody else.

Then the person would just flop back down. His partner saw this too, and it only happened with injectables, he said. There's something, a connection there. But the issue of drugs is a demonic one.

If you don't submit to God in that area and get victory over this, you'll end up back in jail. It's just what's going to happen. Sometimes God, he lets that happen. An old boss of mine told a story of a friend of his who was backsliding. So something happened, and he ended up breaking his back, literally breaking his back, so he was in the hospital for months. It was a pretty bad break. Flat on his back, he looked up to God and he started praying and repented.

He healed up and for two years was working in ministry stuff and started to slide a little bit and got casual again. Lo and behold, his back was broken a second time. That's when he got the message.

He goes, okay, God, sometimes the only time we look up is when we're flat on our backs, and with him it was literal. So if you love the Lord, I need to tell you that he loves you. He won't give up on you. He will let you have your sin, and it will be a consequence to you. He'll deal with you, but in a loving way, as a father would love his child.

That he can discipline you harder and harder, I know, trust me. You have received the holy slap a few times in my life. Yeah, I've been chastised. I've been being chastised. Well, good. I mean, good.

I'm glad. Because that means God loves you. He loves you, and you're in Utah, right? Yeah, I am.

I don't know where the 15 freeway and all those cars, not IKEA. I don't know where you are. Are you in Salt Lake City area or what? Well, I'm in Ogden right now. Okay, oh, you're north. I'm in the halfway house. Okay, yeah, you're north of the Salt Lake. Yeah, I've got some friends down in the Salt Lake proper area.

They have good churches and things like that, but I don't know any good churches in Ogden, so I do know there are some. But anyway, you know, I'm just trying to help. But try and contact Chad. And before we go off the air, I'm going to pray for you. Okay. Yes, sir.

I'd really appreciate it. Another fault is that you spoke about the sorcery. And with the drug that I was using, I was connecting that with the dark arts because before I went to prison, I was really into this drug, and I was practicing a lot of dark sorcery. And with me falling back into drugs, I started getting involved with that again, up until just recently. And it's just that the habitual, the comfort that I felt and everything else was like starting to come back to me. So I'm glad that I'm back in the halfway house.

Okay. Because I know that he is helping me. Yeah, and if you don't repent, if you're really a Christian, which sounds like you probably are, you know, not excusing the sin, but if this doesn't stop, he may kill you. He could take you home. Yep. And this is a serious thing. That's what I really want, just to go home.

Yeah. But I don't want to test him so far. But you know what, Ramon, you've got to realize that when I say this, I'm reminding myself of me, but, you know, big sinner, full of sin, struggling with our sins, okay, I'm there with you, you know, and when you're at that cross, you can just look left and right. You'll see me there with you, you know, kneeling down, confessing. But sometimes what God does is he lets us go through stuff so that we're later shaped as he shapes us through our sin because we choose our sin and he lets us have that, but he can use it anyway. He sometimes will prepare us for something greater.

So that's a possibility with you. But it might be a possibility that if you don't beat this, you will lose the tremendously blissful ability and experience of helping others. And I say that because, you know, where I'm at now, I'm not talking about me, but I was involved in the occult and a lot of bad stuff, and God saved me, a lot of struggles, a lot of failures, but now, having gone through so much, the place of the joy that I have on a daily basis of serving God. I look back to the old man, and there's a verse you might want to memorize.

The address is Romans 6.21, and it's a great verse, Romans 6.21. What benefit were you then deriving of the things of which you're now ashamed, for the outcome of those things is death? And that verse is one of my favorite verses in the entire Bible, because, oh, your sin and my sin are different in a lot of areas.

I've never done drugs, but I was in other stuff, okay, in the occult, and I'll just leave it at that. But I look back, and what benefit was I then deriving of the things of which I'm now ashamed, for the outcome of those things is death. And I can only praise God in his great mercy that he condescended to let me live and to serve him. And this is what I hope will happen with you as well, that God will condescend to use you even through your sin. And if you don't repent, he may take you home.

Go ahead. This kind of answers the question about the question I had about his sovereign providence. You've kind of answered it within the same thing that you just told me about what you've been telling me about. And that's one of the biggest issues that I had was dealing with the sovereign providence, is he's all sovereign over everything. He does what he wants with who he wants, how he wants, when he wants. But it's just that, I mean, how could he allow me, by his permissive will, to do the things that I did that goes against what his divine will is all about? And, I mean, I believe in the Reformed theology, and I don't want to throw in man's free will-ism because I don't necessarily believe in it. But I just have a hard time dealing with his sovereignty versus my free will or whatever it's called.

Well, we've got a break coming up so we can keep talking about this after the break because I do want to pray with you before we get off the air. But we are free. We have free will. We are free to be able to do what we desire. That's what free will is without being forced. Reformed theology teaches free will. And it's just God is sovereign even over our free will. He knows what choices you're going to make.

And you know what the weird thing is? Man, I don't get it. Why would he choose you from the foundation of the world to love you and save you? Why would he do that for anyone? I have no idea. There you go. I have no idea.

I don't have any idea either. But he knows, and we can rest confidently in him. So hold on, okay? And we'll be back after the break in order to pray for you, okay?

Okay, yes, sir. Okay, folks, we'll be right back after these messages. I want you to give me a call.

We have four open lines. Give me a call. 877-207-2276. Give me a call. It's Matt Slick live. Taking your calls at 877-207-2276.

Here's Matt Slick. All right, buddy, welcome back to the show. Let's get on the phone with Ramon. Hey, you still there? Yes, sir, can you hear me?

Yeah, I can. Just call me Matt. Matt's fine. No big deal, man. Okay, Matt. Sure. So I hope what we've talked about has been helpful. And I do want you to contact Chad, okay? He really is a good man. He knows this stuff, so if you can, contact him. Okay, how do I contact him again? Well, let's see. His website is hard to remember.

I want him to get a different one. But it's The Way in Romans 12.2. So it's thewayr122.org. So The Way, letter r122.org. Not work, okay. All right.

Just contact him and tell him that I told you to contact him. So let me pray for you, okay? Okay.

All right. Lord Jesus, I just want to lift up Ramon to you and ask that you would bless him, that you give him the unction, the desire, the strength to be able to resist sin and look to you. And I ask, Lord, for your protection over him that you would do what you need to in his life in order to bring him to that place of full repentance and trust and strength in you. I ask, Lord, for your protection over him and that you would introduce to him godly people who would help him out and help guide him towards you all the more. Lord, I ask that you would bless him and strengthen him and that you would even prepare him to be used in your kingdom. Lord Jesus, we give you thanks. We just ask this in your name, Jesus. Amen. So I do have a quick question if you're able to.

Sure. So I know the Lord says to come home with all our burdens and to deny ourself. Does he expect us to like get rid of all the behaviors in our life like right off the bat? I mean, because I do smoke cigarettes. But does he really expect me to like quit all that or does he work instead? What I would do is not worry about all those things.

I would worry about the one thing at a time that puts on your heart. I've known Christians who've smoked and that's between them and God. That's, you know, whatever. Drugs is different because it's dealing with pharmakeia, with sorcery, with other things.

Smoking is just not good for you. But at the right time when you're able to, you know, if God puts it upon your heart, deal with that and stuff. You know, so if you can give it all of it once, great.

If you can't, well, that's just how God's working through you. All right. Okay.

All right. Well, I appreciate you, Matt, for all that you're doing, what you've been doing. You're about the only first pastor that I actually had back in 2012.

I'm 2013 and I've just been listening to you on and off since then. So I've just been falling away from listening to you. But I also ask that the ministry will exceed abundantly and bless others as you have blessed me. Well, by God's grace. By God's grace. Amen, brother.

Amen, brother. All right. Thank you.

I appreciate your time. All right. Call back in a week. Let us give us an update, okay? Oh, I shall. I shall. All right.

Well, thank you, Matt. Okay. Bye.

All right. We have four open lines. If you want to give me a call, 877-207-2276. We lost Lynn from Chapel, North Carolina, which means we have nobody waiting right now.

Why don't you give me a call? Let me talk about Chad Prigmore a little bit because I've got his website up here and this wasn't planned or anything. But I do know Chad. He's a good godly man and he was into drugs and alcoholism. He was an addict and all of that. And now he's doing mission work in Africa and he lives not too far from me.

He comes over every now and then and we go do stuff together. But he knows a lot about this issue of addiction. If you want to contact him, I would suggest that you go to thewayr122.org.

The Way, and it's Romans 12-2, but this r12-2.org. And you can check it out. You can check out what he does.

I think the email is just thewayministrychurchatoutlook.com. And I tell him every now and then, hey man, I was plugging you on your site. He goes, yeah, that's right. So and so contacted me and the whole bit.

So it does help. And he's a good guy, like I said. All right, want to give me a call? Four open lines, 877-207-2276. I want to hear from you. And let's see, just a reminder, we're going to Israel next year.

And if you are curious to check it out, you want to go with us, all you got to do is go to karmisrael.com, C-A-R-M Israel.com. Let's get to Chuck from North Carolina. Chuck, welcome. You're on the air.

Hi, Matt. I just want to say you dealt so wonderfully with that young feller. It just brings tears to my eyes.

It does. You're a beautiful brother. Well, praise God. I got a yes, sir, praise God, it's great. Take a look at Acts 16, 14, if you would, on your Christian Standard Bible. Yeah, on the Christian Standard. Well, I use an NASB, and I'm quite familiar with that verse. It's a great verse. No, no, I know. I believe the NASB is the best myself, also.

I bought the 2020 version, too. Oh, good. And so you want to look at the CSV, is that it? I don't have the CSV. Yeah, look at CSV in Acts 16, 14, and you will see a glaring mistake. The CSV or ESV? The CSV, Christian Standard Bible.

I don't have it. Read it, go ahead and read it. I'm holding the Christian Standard Bible. Go ahead and read it to me, Matt. Excuse me, Matt?

Go ahead and read it. Okay. I don't have it on me.

It would get me on the back with my dog. Well, that's all right. Let me just try to say it. Christian Standard Version. Okay, let's see if I can find it. Oh, Christian Standard Bible, yeah. Oh, Christian Standard Bible, CSB. That's where it is.

Christian Standard Bible. Or B, yeah. I don't have the keys, then. All right, that's okay. That's all right.

Well, then I have that. I have the CSB. A God-fearing woman named Lydia, a dealer in purple cloth from the city of Thyatira, was listening. The Lord opened her heart to respond to what Paul was saying, okay? Oh, the CSB, as in Bravo, does say the Lord opened her heart?

Yeah, it says in the CSB, yeah. Oh, Christian Standard Bible. Well, I'm mistaken then, Matt.

I'm mistaken. I thought they took away the Lord opened her heart. And I thought, whoa, you know? Well, let's see, the ESV says the Lord opened her heart.

The King James says whose heart the Lord opened. Yeah, all of them do. Yeah, so it's good stuff.

Yeah, I use it all the time. He says the same thing. Yeah, Luke 16, I mean, Acts 16, 14, God opened up her heart.

Why is it necessary to open up her heart to believe stuff if it's just up to their free will? Hey, what's up with you? You know, et cetera. Well, yeah, you know me.

I think you know where I stand pretty much, but you're absolutely right. The Lord, I have to open her heart. That's right. Everybody that comes to faith. The Lord opens it.

That's right. He opens her heart. He grants that they believe. Do you want some repentance? Oh, there's a break. Okay. All right, buddy. Thank you, brother. Love you. All right, man. God bless.

We love you. All right, folks. We have four open lines. Give me a call. 877-207-2276. We'll be right back. It's Matt Slick live, taking your calls at 877-207-2276. Here's Matt Slick. Hey, everybody. Welcome back to the show. If you want to give me a call, we have four open lines.

I want to hear from you. 877-207-2276. Let's get to John from Florida. John, welcome.

You're on the air. God bless. God bless.

So what do you got? Okay. I have a question because my brother and my sister-in-law, they recently became pastors. Now they're both senior pastors, and she also claims to be a prophet. Now I've discussed with them that a woman cannot have authority over a man, but what would you say in regards to this where she's a co-senior pastor, has authority over a man, and she claims to be a prophet, yet even though I give her the scripture about that authority issue, she doesn't accept it? Well, she's in rebellion and in sin against God. I need you to tell her flat out that she's in rebellion against God. She's sinning against God. The word of God has revealed the issue. She's contradicting the word of God, and the judgment of God will be upon her. The judgment can manifest in giving her over to the depravity of her heart and her mind in that area. And what will probably happen with her is she'll start adopting other heresies and things like that, as will the husband because he doesn't have the discernment of an onion.

So both of them are failing miserably. I would be glad to talk to them over the phone, and if they're by any chance listening on the air, I'll just tell them that they are in sin and rebellion against God for disobeying the clear teaching of the word of God on this issue. Okay? Yeah, I'll definitely send this to them because we actually discussed it, my wife and I, with them, and we had a bit of an, I want to say an argument, but we had a discussion where she got upset, but they still don't change minds. She can get upset all she wants and just say, what does the word of God say? You always have to say, what does the word of God say? What does the word of God say? And when I meet people like that, and they don't care about the word, I say, you are in rebellion against God's word.

You are in rebellion. You are not qualified because you're a woman. You're not qualified to be a pastor. And I'd say to the men, and I say this, the men who support women pastors are failures. They need to repent and stick with the word of God and stop going with a politically correct idiocy in the church and outside the church. This is what they need to do. They need to stand up, act like men, be strong, doesn't mean be mean, but they need to act by the standards that God has laid down in the word of God.

That's what it says. And if they can't do that, they're disqualified from any ministry, period. And they should take their diapers, and they should go home. I get so mad about this issue because I know what damage it does to the Christian church. When women get up there to be pastors and elders, 80% of the churches and denominations that adopt women pastors and elders, within two generations, 80% of them start adopting pro-homosexual stuff. If she's claiming to be a prophet, a prophetess, well, she doesn't understand the scriptures because it says in Luke 16 that the law and the prophets were until John. There are no more prophets, not like that. And she's claiming this title for herself. She's claiming to be a prophet. She's claiming to be a pastor. She's in violation of the word of God. She probably will be espousing other false doctrines as well.

I'd love to cross-examine her. Oh, man, I'm sure I could find all kinds of heresies on her and him because he, the husband, is failing to be a proper husband and a proper man of God. And they are, they're failures, both of them are failures in their spiritual walk.

They need to repent. Yes, I agree, Maslick. Well, that's because I'm right. I think, yeah, yeah, you are.

That's what the Bible says, you know? Yes, yes, mm-hmm. Exactly right.

Yep. Well, I appreciate this, your answer, Maslick. Okay, John.

All right, man, tell them to call me. Or we can have a public, public online meeting. Online debate. Oh.

Oh, the thing is, she hates debates. Oh. Well, the Bible says, contend earnestly for the faith, that's Jude 3 and 4, Jude 4, I believe it is.

Oh, no. Oh, man, don't forget to use that verse. Yeah, contend for the faith and to give an answer to everyone who would ask you, 1 Peter 3, 15. So I'm asking them to contend for the faith biblically.

They won't do it. In fact, let me tell you a quick story before we go. This story is very serious. I was just thinking about this because roughly five-ish, seven-ish years ago, five-ish, six-ish years ago.

I remember because I just started Krav Maga about that time, because of marker. Anyway, there was this church in a city near me called Meridian, and I went to this church and I contacted them because they had women elders. And I said, can we have a meeting and talk with the elders there and talk about this? And they said, sure, no problem, because I want to talk about the issue of women pastors and elders. They said, sure. Well, they agreed to do that, then they changed their mind, they went back on their word. They gave me, let your yes be yes, your no be no. They said, no, we decided not to meet with you. And I said, but you said you would. You're going back on your word. And I said, I want to talk to you about this biblically.

And they wanted nothing to do with it. I said, okay. And I was in their church when I said this, because they had a meeting. And that's when they said, no, we're not going to do it. And I said, okay, well, according to the Bible then, since I've gone to you and you've refused, I'm now going to go to the body of Christ. I'm going to go outside and stand out in front of your church on a Sunday morning and pass out literature. And they said, are you threatening us? I said, I'm not threatening you.

I'm just telling you that you failed to do your job. And I'm going to go to the body, which is what the Bible says. So it was snowing. And I went out to their church. And this is the first story I'm going to tell you.

I went out to their church, and I was out there in the snow passing out literature on this topic. And I wasn't being mean. I wasn't blocking traffic of any kind.

I was very calm. I had a couple of people helping me. They were interested in help. And so the church called the police on me.

These are the Christians. Yeah, they called the police on me. And the police came out, and they said, you're fine.

And I said, yeah, I know. They called. And they said, yeah, they called the police. So literally, I came home. And I get off the freeway, and I'm driving towards my house.

And there's another church where there's a woman pastor. And I had called and left a message. And so I thought, I'm going to stop in. And I just stopped in and went into the service. And the service was just ending.

It was just a timing. So long story short, I'll skip some details. I ended up outside in the parking area with my hands in the air. Take your hands and put them in front of you like you're going to fight with your fists closed, like you get your hands.

But open, because that's what we do in Krav. And it just opened, and I'm backing up. I'm literally backing up because I was afraid for my safety, because the pastor was very upset with me, the male pastor, for daring to ask the question about the woman pastor. And this guy came up, and he starts yelling at me. And he goes, what are you doing? What are you doing? And that means a crowd's looking at me.

They don't know who I am. And I'm going, this is getting out of hand. And he says, and so I'm backing up. It's in the Krav Maga stance, but I'm sliding backwards.

I'm just leaving. And this guy started approaching me, and I had put my hands down at that point. And now I was just backing up slowly. And he leaned forward and walked towards me quickly, which I put my hands back up because that's the I'm going to get ready to fight stance, protect myself. And he's 10 feet away, and he yells out. He shoved me. He yelled it out 10 feet away from me. Everybody looks at me. The pastor looked at me and said, did you shove him?

And everybody's looking at me. This guy lied. And I said, I did not. And he lied and all this stuff. And I was backing up to my car, and he goes, you better get out of here.

And so, you know, I just got in the car and took off. This is at two Christian churches on the same day. You dare tip over their little idol about women pastors and elders? Oh, you can't have that.

Yeah, you can't have that. And so these are two of the experiences I've had due to this topic. And both of them were just horrible witnesses by the so-called Christian churches, horrible witnesses that broke their word and called the cops on me. And then I was physically threatened at another church.

Yeah. Yeah, because when I told her about it, you know, but the word of God says this. She said, well, you have an old Pharisee mentality, is what she told me. You mean believing the word of God? So is it, I'd say, this is what the word of God says, can you answer the word of God? First Timothy 2, 12 and 13, I do not allow a woman to teach or exercise authority over a man, but remain silent, for Adam was first created.

It's not due to culture, it's due to the created order. Can you please respond to me and tell me why I'm a Pharisee if I'm quoting the scriptures and believing what it says? Yes. How are you not? How are you not a Pharisee?

Because you're denying the truth of what the word of God really is about. And you're a false teacher. I get on big. Yeah. I tell you. Well, yeah.

I appreciate your awkwardness. I don't know about that. But hey, praise God, buddy.

We got a break. All right? Okay. All right, God bless. Yeah, folks, those things really did happen, and I get other stories, I got lots of stories.

I've done a lot of stuff. Anyway, may the Lord bless you, and we'll be right back after these messages. Welcome back to the show. Let's get to Julia from South Carolina. Julia, welcome. You're on the air. Matt, I may have to hang up early and call you again.

I just realized that my phone battery is low. But my question is about Christ being in the flesh in heaven. I believe you when you say that.

But I don't know why I never knew that until I heard you say it. I am almost 70 years old, and I've been in the church forever. Because they're not teaching proper theology in a lot of churches. They're teaching babysitting sermons and how-tos. They need to teach biblical theology during the sermons and talk about the Trinity, the hypostatic union, Jesus' eternal priesthood, eternal generation of the only begotten, what it means, justification, imputation. These all need to be taught regularly from the pulpit.

But they're not. Well, will you tell... I know I should look this up myself. Will you tell me what happened in the transformation? Well, in the transfiguration in Matthew 17 or in his resurrection? Transfiguration, I'm sorry.

Okay. We don't know exactly, but Matthew 17, the transfiguration, he was seen in a glorified state. It wasn't a resurrected body, but it was a glorified state, and light was there and people were there and witnesses and stuff like that, so that's about it. But we don't know really what it was, other than what they tell us. Well, today I was taking care of my little nieces.

One is four and one is eight. And somehow we landed on Palm Sunday and I was trying to explain to them about the little children and the palms and everything. And I said, you know, Jesus is in heaven in the flesh. And the eight year old said, does that mean I get to touch Jesus when I get to heaven?

And Matt, I said, yes, because I don't know. Sounds good to me. Sounds good to me. We would be able to... You think that was good?

Yeah. Well, I don't see why not. I would love to be able to touch him. Maybe I'll just have my face to the ground near him. I don't know.

But if he's flat, we'll be able to touch him, that'd be awesome. She was so excited and she said, why doesn't he come back? Why doesn't he come back now?

He's going to come back, but a little bit later. So I tried to explain about him, wanting more people to come. Yeah.

That's right. Those are great questions. What did you say? Those are great questions. I love when little ones ask. She's very interested. She said, well, maybe Jesus will just come back tomorrow, and I said, well, we'll just hope so.

I hope so. But I just wanted to be sure that I did not lie to her when I told her that she's going to get to touch Jesus, because she's very looking forward to it. Well, just remember, a lie is a purposeful deception. People can tell what they believe to be the truth, and it's not a lie, but it could be an error.

You shouldn't lie, technically, based on that issue. But the thing is, yeah, we might be able to touch him. I guess so, because he is in flesh, and he always will be, so that would be awesome if we could.

I don't know if it's going to happen, but it certainly would seem like a possibility. Okay. Well, Matt, I love to listen to you. I have learned so much from you.

I have been going to church since I can remember, and you have taught me things I've never heard before. Yeah. It's unfortunate. But, okay, well, good. Praise God.

You know, praise God. Okay. Yes, sir. Thank you. And you just keep on talking. I hope my wife heard you say that. All right.

Sounds good. Well, you just talk all you want. Don't worry about your wife.

She gives me the look. So they say stupid things, which is pretty frequently. So okay. All right.

I don't believe that. Oh, trust me. Anyway, I know you have to. I know you have to. Matt, can I ask you one more quick question?

Sure, real fast. The book, We Will Not Be Silenced, what do you think of it? I don't know. I haven't heard of it.

We Will Not Be Silenced, huh? I got an email today from christianbook.com, and David Jeremiah was saying that every Christian should have this book, and I just didn't know what it really is. Well, you know, I don't know either, so what I'll do is check it out, okay? I just finished another book on Kindle, I read everything on Kindle now. And what did I just finish? Finished Social Justice, no, not that one, anyway, I just finished another one about the deception of the left and things like that, what's happening.

What is that one? I'll get it on my phone. I'll figure it out. But at any rate, okay? All right. God bless. Thank you, Matt. Thank you, Matt. And I'm thankful for you. Well, thank you. All right. Well, God bless. Okay.

Yeah, I just finished Dark Agenda, that's the name of the book I just finished. Michael from Utah. Michael, welcome. You're on the air.

Thank you for taking my call, Matt. I was picking up on something you mentioned last week about the drug use, I don't know if it's a drug under Medicaid for hydroxychloroquine that you use for COVID-19. You and my pastor mentioned it, he said it was a standard treatment for missionaries going overseas, and it was inexpensive.

My wife and I had a consultation with an expert in this stuff, a woman doctor. And she said it has a lot of promise and a lot of things combined with, I think it was zinc and something else. The evidence showed it resisted COVID very well. So we both got COVID. I had it for one day. I had a fever for one day, very mild, my wife, because her conditions weakened. But she had a fever for nine days, and then she was okay. So is that a prescription that only a doctor can order, or is it over-the-counter?

I don't know. It was prescribed, and so we took it along with some other stuff. It was prescribed. So imagine that, it's inexpensive and effective. But Trump used it, and he recommended it, so the left has to negate it automatically. And they'll say, no, there's no evidence.

But there is evidence. And I'm not saying, and I'm no doctor, I'm just saying, that's what we did. And with me, I only had COVID for one day, and that was it. Well, I had it, and they didn't give me anything.

That wouldn't make perfect sense to give you something. Well, yeah, as long as you don't have respiratory issues. I always drink a lot of, whenever I get a little bit sick, I have pure vitamin C, and I take mega doses of vitamin C mixed with a little bit of baking soda.

And that's just something I've learned years and years ago. And I swear, I mean, my experience has been, whenever I start feeling a little bit of something, I will take 50 times the recommended dose twice a day, 50, 60, 70 times, it doesn't hurt you. And within a couple, three hours, I notice that I feel better. Is it powder, powder, vitamin C, or?

Yeah, you can go online and look for pure vitamin C crystals, like $40 a bag, and it lasts me about three years, three or four years. And I mix it with a little bit of baking soda because I heard it does some chemical thing that's good for your system. It does not taste good, I'm just warning you, but it's good for you. It tastes like vitamin C with baking soda in it, you know?

It's like uni. I've had uni, I like sushi, and uni is sea urchin eggs. And people say, well, what does it taste like?

Well, it tastes like sea urchin eggs, you know, it just has this weird, what do you say? So, it's okay? Okay, thank you, guys. All right, man, God bless. Okay, let's get on the phone with Keith from High Point, North Carolina.

Keith, welcome. Hello, how are you today? I'm doing okay by God's grace.

What have you got? A question. When you were speaking earlier about going to those churches, you had been not attacked physically, but attacked by speaking about those women pastors. The people who were coming at you and yelling, in your opinion, would you say that they were being influenced by demons or under, like, a demon possession? I'm not speaking like the exorcists or anything, but... No, I would just say that they were not being biblical and they were in the flesh. They weren't willing and able to defend their positions from scripture. When people have views that they hold dearly, and someone like me comes along and challenges them and can challenge them, they don't like that, because they've built a little wall around their idol, and they don't want anybody to come in and knock it down, and they get upset.

It doesn't mean they're not Christians, but it does mean that they're a rebellion against God, and part of the judgment, I believe, of God was evidenced in their lack of Christian love. Instead of coming out in the snow and seeing if I was okay and giving me something warm to drink like a Christian should have done, they didn't do that. They called the police, instead of saying, oh, we disagree and we don't really want to talk about it.

No, I was threatened and almost physically assaulted. The one person that said, he pushed me, that's what made me think of that, is when Jesus was speaking to his disciples about, you know, who do people say I am, and Peter said, we are the Christ, and he said, well, that's right, because, you know, basically God told you that. And then just probably an hour later, you know, Peter, Jesus was talking about, hey, you know, this is going to be what's happening to me, and Jesus said, I forbid it, we won't let it happen. And Jesus said, get behind me, Satan, when he's speaking of Peter. Now, Peter was not satanic or nothing, but he was being provoked or influenced in a way like that. Right. He wasn't possessed. It was just an exaggeration.

He had the spirit of a slap on his neck. Okay. Well, I appreciate that. I like listening to you some afternoons, and you need me to listen to that. I learned some things. There's some things I agree with, some I don't, but, you know, how am I going to know if I don't listen?

I don't hear you, I try to listen to you. Well, I appreciate that. And I like it when people listen, and I also like it when they don't agree, because it means they're thinking. So that's good. Right. Exactly. If you hear anything you agree with, you might be on the wrong track. That's right.

And you don't want to listen to a guy named Slick on the radio a lot, because that just doesn't sound good. You know. So. You have a blessed weekend, a blessed week. Thank you very much. You too. All right.

Well, God bless. Bye bye. Okay. Thank you. Bye bye.

Okay. Well, we've got about a minute left in the show, and nobody waiting, so let me just remind you that we are going to Israel, by God's grace, next year. If you want to join, and go along, and see all the sights in Israel, and a bus tour with a lot of people, and see some awesome stuff like Jericho, and Jerusalem, and going to shops. Oh, it's a blast.

With dinners. Oh, it's great. If you're interested, go to karmisrael.com and check it out. May the Lord bless you. There's the music, so I've got to get going, and by God's grace, we'll be back on there tomorrow, and we'll talk to them. We'll see you. God bless, man.
