Here's Matt Slick. Hey, everybody, welcome to the show. I hope you're gonna have a good time listening.

We'll see what happens, what the Lord provides. And if you want to give me a call, we have five open lines, wide open. Give me a call, 877-207-2276.

And if you are interested in watching, not a big deal, but I like to let people know that you can go to karm.org, C-A-R-M dot O-R-G, and you can watch the show there. I'm sitting in my office, sitting in a chair, a comfortable chair, too, I might add. And behind me, I have a little thing of, a couple of religious kind of things, Christian things behind us. And then I have a glowing lamp. It's a moon. Totally cool.

It's magnetic, you know, and you can spin it and all that kind of stuff. Love that kind of stuff. All right. So if you want to give me a call, 877-207-2276. And you can also watch on Facebook if people are interested in that as well. All you gotta do is go check it out. And we have a nice community of people, too, who join us in varying rooms.

And they, it's all conglomerated into one area so that we can see all the texts and stuff inside of StreamYard, which is something we use, which is pretty good. And so, anyway, if you want to be part of that, you can give me a call and, or you can watch. Okay.

Whew. All right. Lots of stuff going on. I just released a Patreon video just 15, 20 minutes ago, and I'm increasing the discussions and studies on the issue of persecution of the coming church. I believe that the coming, that Christian church will be persecuted. I've got some information that I've not consolidated yet, but I'm going to be working on a new section or subsection in CARM, probably under the persecution area, dealing with some of the movements that are happening within our government to categorize terrorists, domestic terrorists, and how some of the categorizations can include Christians and people like myself, because we don't agree with homosexuality.

We don't agree with Black Lives Matter, which is a terrorist organization. And I'll be hopefully documenting some of the hypocrisy that's going on and making myself a target. So I would covet your prayers, because when we do this kind of a thing, when we start tackling the unbelievers and the issues of false teaching, you've got to understand that, you know, it's a serious thing.

And a lot of, well, as I say, the demonic forces don't really like what we do. So what I want to do at this point is, for those of you who are watching the video, what I do is I stream this, and I can share the screen so that you can see the Bible program on the screen. Now, you can't see it on the radio, of course, but I can do that.

So if you're interested in watching, and you can see some of the stuff I'm going to be pointing to, you can go to CARM.org, C-A-R-M dot O-R-G, and you can watch. It's not that big a deal. You don't have to, of course.

Don't do it while you're driving. And I just want to remind you that we have five open lines. I want you to give me a call, folks. Don't make me come out there.

877-207-2276. And so, as I was talking about some stuff, you know, the persecution that's coming, it is. And I want people to become equipped, and I want Christians to become ready. In my opinion, the Christian church has been lax in its duty to pick up the cross and follow after Christ, as Luke 9.23 says. And they've failed miserably, the church as a whole has, in making disciples of all nations, per the Great Commission of Jesus in Matthew 28 and 19 and 20. And I believe, though, that because we have the Lord and because the Christian church, all it has to do is repent and turn to Christ and confess its sins individually and corporately, turn to Christ, and then ask God to use us and move us in society. Great things can be accomplished because we do have the power of God in us as redeemed people, and we can move with that power of truth and the Word of God, the purse and work of Christ.

And I believe that that is something we can do. And for those who don't want to, I believe the coming persecution will purify the church and will bring people to realize which side are they going to rest in, the side of Christ. And when Jesus says, follow me, pick up your cross and follow me daily, what Jesus said. Or do you want to follow the ways of the world and just go for comfort?

Because one is problematic and the other, of course, is not. Jesus says in Luke 9 23, if anyone wishes to come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow after me. And if you were to go to, let's see him do this, if you were to go to Revelation chapter 3, it's really interesting what's in there, particularly the message to Laodicea, the church of Laodicea. And incidentally, I've been to Laodicea.

I've actually been there and I can still remember the ruins and it was totally cool, it really was. But this is what it says in Revelation 3 14, to the angel of the church of Laodicea write, the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God says this, I know your deeds that you are neither hot nor cold, I wish that you were hot or cold. So because you are lukewarm and neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of my mouth because you say I am rich and have become wealthy and have need of nothing and you do not know that you are wretched and miserable and poor and blind and naked.

I advise you to buy from me gold refined by fire so that you may become rich and white garments so that you may clothe yourself and that the shame of your nakedness will not be revealed in the eyes salve to anoint your eyes so that you may see. Now I can go and talk about this more, this is out of Revelation 3, but what I'm trying to get people understand is that the Christian Church today is pretty much lukewarm. What it does is it cowers at the face of persecution and social pressure and the mockery of Christianity in the movies, in the media, and it just says well we'll just you know wait for the rapture and we'll just turn the other cheek and because Jesus is the blonde haired blue-eyed Caucasian surfer dude and he's not gonna let us suffer because we're Americans and pre-trib rapture and blah blah blah and this is not true. And so because of it the Christian Church has become weak and so one of the things we try and do in this show is help strengthen the Christians and as Charlie and I we meet every single time almost every single time you know one of us might be sick or out of town or whatever but we meet every single time before the show and pray and I pray for wisdom and pray for and today we pray for the the listeners who are Christians to be equipped and the unbelievers to hear the word of truth this is what we do because this is one of the outreaches that God has ordained in his church. All right so if you want to continue to listen hopefully be equipped if you're an unbeliever maybe you might be intrigued who knows we want you to come to faith in Christ and if you are a believer in the faith Lord Jesus Christ to become equipped because if your pastor is not teaching you how to become equipped to to do the work of ministry if he's just babysitting you go find another church and find a church that's equipping Christians this is what we're gonna be needing more and more let's get to Lacey out from Winston-Salem North Carolina welcome you are on the air hello let's see your Lacey oh I'm not sure how to pronounce your name but there you are yes I just want to say just out of concern that I just heard the statement that black lives matter is a terrorist group yeah that's not a truth and you speak so you speak so often about speak so often about the truth and that's what's concerning because that is not a truth yes it is you can go to my website black lives matter is a socialist Marxist socialist Marxist organization it is not a Christian organization is anti-christian period absolutely what's a terrorist terrorists is someone who goes into an area and loots and robs and does mayhem burn things down and we know that black lives matter people have done that there are individual people that do that well of course I agree with you I agree with you but black lives matter it's an evil organization yes it is let me read to you some of the stuff it says let me read to you what it says this I did an article on them very early on they've altered their website this was of 9 18 of 2020 it's almost a year ago so the website has changed but I got their information and so they say we are guided by the fact that all black lives matter and I have no problem with black people mattering and white people mattering brown people I don't have any problem with that everyone's made the image of God but we should but we should we should not differentiate but based on skin color it should be something different but nevertheless we are guided by the by the fact that all black lives matter regardless of our actual or perceived sexual identity gender identity gender expression economic status ability disability religious beliefs or disbelief immigration status or location that sounds nice and it goes on it says we make space for transgender brothers and sisters to participate and lead we are self-reflexive and do the work required to dismantle cisgender privilege now that means cisgender means you know I'm a man who likes women I'm a male contract is attractive females that's cisgender and it's a dismantle cisgender privilege so now I'm privileged somehow because I prefer women over men and it says and uplift and uplift black trans folk especially black trans women who continue to be disproportionately impacted by trans antagonistic violence so now what it's doing is it's condemning it wants to dismantle so to some degree just normal God created male female and make plans and and supply the idea of transsexual people to be in places of authority and leading it was on we build a space that affirms black women and is free from sexism misogyny and environments in which men are centered so it's a really so men are centered if we have any place like that we can't have it well you know what about a construction site men are just physically better at doing construction work than females overall because it takes more more muscle mass to do stuff it's not saying what's better than the other different people are qualified for different kinds of things and if you're gonna say it's man centered we got to undo that it's ridiculous which incidentally I recommend that people go go to Netflix and look up the movie the red pill go watch it it's a feminist who who does documentation and it's really interesting the red pill anyway how about this we make our spaces family friendly which is a lie and enable parents to fully participate with their children we dismantle the patriarchal practice that requires mothers to work double shifts so that they can mother in private even as they participate in public justice work and there's more we get from the break I'll read some more okay from their own hold because of the connections pretty bad there I'm gonna read more about Black Lives Matter it is not a good movement folks it is not we right back after these messages it's Matt slick live taking your calls at eight seven seven two zero seven two two seven six here's Matt slick hey everybody welcome back to the show all right let's get to back to let's see Lacey how do you pronounce your name I want to make sure I get it right this is fine Lisa okay Lisa all right well I've got more information okay this is from my website all right and what BLM stands for what it supports and it says what would you say a terrorist group that promotes that promotes violence that promotes destruction that that promotes the destruction of society for causing problems in society to make people fearful to cause division people that care about diversity not being fooled you're being fooled by Black Lives Matter let me let me continue to read let me continue to read what they say that's what they say it says we know for example there's a bit disrupt the nuclear family we disrupt the Western prescribed nuclear family structure required by supporting each other as extended families and villages he wants to disrupt mom dad and children wants to just to disrupt the nuclear family is that good of course it's bad I keep coming back to this let me ask you a question are you just gonna okay okay I would need to ask you something are you just gonna sit on that one word and focus on that one word are you I've responded to you several times because what terrorists use force coercion and fear to bring about what they want right is that right are you there I'm asking you a question I'm asking you a question do terrorists use force do they use intimidation do they use fear to bring about what they want is that what they do okay now now that's what they do that's what they do that's what they do all right so with their I'm just trying to read through some of the stuff that they do why is it that when Black Lives Matter moves through areas in fact in fact here in Idaho we had Black Lives Matter come up and we found out that what they wanted to do was cause problems we have I'll just say we have people on the inside and the people on the inside said their plan was to go and cause a riot the cause problems to be filmed so they could get sympathy and they have film crews there did you I don't know if you know that but there are there are informants inside the black lives movement as they go through different places and I'm proud to say that we Americans here in Idaho showed up with our guns and everybody there were hundreds and hundreds of people out there just police I mean just just politely just walking around with guns and the Black Lives Matter came no one's gonna hurt them but you know what they stayed on a single corner and then I went when some others went and we preached the gospel so they were there why are they coming here to Idaho what do they want to accomplish why are they moving into our society here and then whenever they go in there's dissension there's problems there's the fear of them being there what are they trying to accomplish they want to disrupt our society that is part of what terrorists do to disrupt society okay what we're gonna do she won't let me finish I'm gonna move on I'm going to continue to read about black lives matter this is what the site has said it says this we foster a queer affirming network when we gather we do so with the intention of freeing ourselves from the tight grip of heteronormative thinking so it wants to disrupt and cause problems among the people who believe in heterosexuality this is something that brings fear because it makes me worried what else are they gonna do it says that there are two deadly viruses COVID-19 and white supremacy we know that police don't keep us safe that's what it says we need to get rid of the police donate tonight as we donate we appreciate your support of the movement and our ongoing fight to end state-sanctioned violence liberate black people and end white supremacy forever now I'm gonna tell you something right here read stuff like this of one what the heck is going on what white supremacy what you know I don't know about any white supremacy and all of a sudden that what they're doing is constantly digging up things and constantly causing division and constantly causing people to be apprehensive and it's causing racial tension this is part of what terrorism does is it separates people inside and causes fear they want to eradicate white supremacy the criminal justice system is corrupt they say they want to defund the police promote LGBTQ dismantle cis gender privilege promote the destruction of the nuclear family and support leftist democratic candidates coolers is one of the co-founders of BLM and is a self-proclaimed Marxist who supports the radical breathe act she's a Marxist she says she's a Marxist which is anti-constitutional which means in Marxism you don't have freedom and you don't have rights you have to be subservient to the state this is what she promotes does that cause you to be afraid does it cause you to be worried absolutely it should she's and what the breathe act does quote here's some of the things developing a time-bound plan to close all federal prisons and immigration detention centers what close all prisons federal prison decriminalizing and retroactively expunging drug offenses so if you've committed drug offenses yeah you'll be set free abolishing state gang databases well gangs are are horrible and now what they want to do is they get rid of all the information about the gangs why would they want to do that because if they want the gangs to move around so they can do their their stuff they're violent it says another one is until ice and CBP are fully dismantled ending state and local police entanglement with the immigration and customs enforcement customs and border protection and all federal immigration formal agencies they want to get rid of in other words don't enforce our laws and our borders let everybody come in what do you think is gonna happen if everybody comes into this country it will destroy our country this is what coolers supports she's a Marxist and she's one of the founders of BLM and she supports the breathe act and I've got the documentation on the website and the breathe act also says developing curricula that examine the political economic and social impacts of colonialism genocide against indigenous people and slavery you know it's just causing problems causing problems causing problems causing division providing free high quality health care services at schools and or at nearby student and family focus centers which services include reproductive body autonomy in other words free access to abortion to kill babies it goes on providing full and free access for all people and undocumented incarcerated people and allowing local and state residents voting for undocumented people it's a takeover for country this is what's going on this would be all in this advocating it's a bad group folks be right back after these messages it's Matt slick live taking your calls at eight seven seven two zero seven two two seven six here's Matt slick welcome back to the show let's get to Nelson from Bakersfield Nelson you're on the air hey Matt god bless god bless yeah um I got a question regarding Matthew 24 verses 29 through 31 yeah I love that section sure oh man yeah can you read that real quick sure but immediately after the tribulation of those days the Sun will be darkened and the moon will not give its light and the stars will fall from the sky and the powers of the heavens will be shaken and then the Son of Man will appear in the sky and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn and they will see the Son of Man coming in the clouds of the sky with power and great glory and he will send forth his angels with a great trumpet and they will gather together as elect from the four winds from one end of the sky to the other okay well I guess I got two questions within this passage first one is it the elect that there is ever referring to the nation of Israel no it will be elect refers to those people who are chosen of God that's what he's talking about okay okay okay I guess my other question with that was is it related to a second was the first Thessalonians chapter 4 where it talks about yes the dead shall rise first and those who are alive caught up with the Lord so that's the same in an episode for like that episode being on me the same instant it happens at that moment that's what it looks like and what's really important it says immediately after the tribulation of those days so the the rapture the collection of the elect from one sky to the end of the sky the other is after the tribulation that's what Jesus says right there in Matthew 24 29 to 31 yeah and that is yeah it's just right yeah it's right there and just like I mean me myself I um then I was taught by that night no the rapture and I believe and I do see it there but but the way you brought the way the Lord helps to bring up the scriptures about the age and the age to come yep oh there's no way around it that's right and notice this it says in Matthew 24 of 21 and then there will be a great tribulation so it is not a curse at the beginning of the world until now nor the will unless those days be cut short no life will be saved but for the sake of the elect those days will be cut short if anyone says do you behold here's the Christ areas don't believe in them for false Christ of false prophets will arise and deceive many so as to mislead if possible even the elect behold I've told you in advance so if they say say to you behold is in the wilderness don't go in the inner rooms don't go just as a lightning comes from the east and flashes even to the west so the coming of the Son of Man will be whoever the corpse is there the vultures will gather but immediately after the tribulation of those days yeah so the elect there talk about everybody not just Israel and it's after the great tribulation which says for then there'll be a great tribulation now I'm gonna take that for literal right now and that after the tribulation is when Christ comes back and we're gathered because it says he gathers his elect and when you go to Matthew 13 he says allow you know the weak no tears allow both to go together till the end of the age I'll say to the Reapers first gather the tears so pre-trib rapture I'm sorry I'm a sep on toes the pre-trib rapture just goes tumbling down the hill yeah like honestly honestly when I hear now now when I hear preachers talk about the rapture I kind of like cringe a bit like mm-hmm I don't know about that you just like it's just cuz I mean I look at it is what the Lord plans that's right I stand on and my hope is in Christ so if we have to go to tribulation hey so it would be my Lord so so first Peter talks about he says we're going through trials and tribulations and things like that and he starts referencing it in verse 6 of 1st Peter 1 and he talks about our faith and our hope is in Christ that's what he says our hope is and when it talks about the blessed hope the coming of Christ that's his return but the pre-tribulation people and the reason can we say something the reason I'm tackling this more and more before I wouldn't really worry about I've been on radio for 16 years you believe in preacher rapture who cares but because of the persecution I believe is coming and how our government is turning against us and social media and the people the private sector is in control and brainwashing CRT you know a critical race theory the Equality Act all this kind of stuff which I believe is precursors to an oppression that's coming then you know the Christian Church needs to be prepared the pastors and the elders need to start preaching on this if we're gonna start preaching that we're gonna escape all of this stuff then there I think they're doing a disservice to their people you don't find any place in scripture that says we're gonna get taken out of it you find just like what you read what I read that you want me to read it says after the tribulation then he gathers his elect that means the elect are here during the tribulation period it's so stinking simple and yet they they say nope preacher rapture is how it's supposed to be we're all gonna get out it's not what the Bible teaches and so I want people to be equipped for having to go through this not for the idea oh we're gonna get out so don't worry about being equipped the huge there's a huge difference in potential result in these in these philosophical positions okay one more last thing just verse 30 yeah yeah and then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky and all the tribes of the earth will mourn they will see the Son of Man coming in the clouds of the sky with the power of great glory yep okay I have my phone and I miss miss heard it up that it says in me they see him pierced that's referring to the nation of Israel right they will see him pierced I I would have to you know I'd have to look at that again because the nation of Israel didn't see Jesus pierced only the few people around him so if we take it literally well then that might be 10 20 30 100 people maybe I don't know but if it means the entire Israel then what we're doing is saying well then they saw him pierced that means the whole bunch of people well it wasn't just Israel who put him to death Rome did it as well and you go to acts for 27 about that so then we get into interpretive slight difficulties and things like that yeah when I think it's in your testimony is I think it's an idea where it says that right also or where they will see the man coming they crucified yeah I think Daniel Daniel 7 13 is that I kept looking out this is not from memory I'm looking at my nut my you know the pop-up thing on the notes of the verses I kept looking at this night vision and behold look with the clouds of heaven and one like the Son of Man was coming and he came up to the ancient of days was presented before him Daniel 7 talks about this I think I've read before I think it's an Isaiah I'm the real I'm just I just want to put no close before I let you go um where I think it's an idea but where it says that you'll come and the people see him what this the Pierce what pretty much I'm just kind of perforating right yeah and so I would think Christ would come back and he will appear to the nation of Israel right him being pierced well I don't want to get into too much because we got callers waiting and it gets into the ideas of interpretive methodology yeah but what you're talking about is revelation 1 7 behold he's coming in the clouds and every eye will see him even those who pierced him so every eye will see him even those who pierced him and all the tribes of the earth will mourn so what does that exactly mean well we could clearly say everybody's gonna see him even those who are alive at the time of Christ are gonna see him when he returns there will be already a resurrection of some sort you know yeah there's a lot of conjecture about what that means and how it's gonna work but we don't know yet okay buddy okay all right Matt thank you God bless all right let's get to Christine from southwest Virginia Christine welcome how are you doing hi Matt how are you I'm doing all right by God's grace and it's funny I didn't plan on at all referencing BLM when I called but and I meant I was part of I am part of the Californian exodus I am an original for native Californian and I've been I've been out of the state now for three years happily out of the state I've been on seven day huh yeah I hope I hope I reach 17 and I hope nothing god forbid you know create the create the scenario where I have to go back but anyway um so I was originally in DC and then I went down to Richmond so and I was there when George Floyd died and all the violence broke out and I was you know I thought before that that Richmond was a nice place to live didn't really love it or hate it but after that it just turned into such a it's the the tone and the energy there seeing all the violence seeing the city desecrated seeing it you know all the stores boarded up in the graffiti and the hate speech and the statues you know desecrated and everything coming down I I had friends that were trying to convince me the BLM was a peaceful a peaceful cause and a peaceful group of people that were just trying to you know bring light to you know to maybe some information that you know those of us we have we have a break okay it's a heartbreak we're gonna take it we right back okay hey folks we right back with Christine right after these messages please stay tuned you it's Matt slick live taking your calls at eight seven seven two zero seven two two seven six here's Matt slick right back to the show let's go here here with Christine okay welcome back hey Matt so yeah so I and I try to engage in some conversations with my african-american friends and I even even challenge them because one of the first things they did when I got to Richmond if I wanted to experience the original slave trail and you know what kind of it was a little difficult to not necessarily to discover where the trail was but to actually find work late central way tonight finally got there and I was driving and I was going under the underpass of the highway and it said my GPS said you're right and it was just a giant green football field by area I thought this is it this is where this is play central this where that gallows were in the executions and the trading in there okay I'm sorry you're talking about something not following you but do you have a question though yes I do well I just was the comment though before the question was just that I was confused as to why BLM was was rioting and causing so much violence up around where the Confederate statues were and the question I was asking my friends was why aren't why wasn't anybody there present at where really all the violence took place and protesting against that because really the reason is the police and the forces and all that weren't there because they're too busy closing down churches from the peaceful people who you know who believe in God and they're doing that kind of a thing because hey it was free speech you know the riots that happen in Portland and and Tifa and everything else it's free speech but you know if you gather for a barbecue oh no I'm sorry you got to be persecuted for that the hypocrisy of the movement and of what's happening in society and the news media is just incredible this is the only way this makes sense is if there are people behind the scene somehow somewhere pulling strings to move us towards a Marxist socialist regime where persecution of that which holds the country together increases and where those things that cause the company country to fall apart are not tackled so if this is what's happening in the news media this is what's happening in social media and you know when they the social media when they start person they start censoring people like I have a friend who said that that he wrote homosexuality was a sin instantly the account on Facebook was that thing was blocked you can't even say it's a sin yeah you know it's actually and I mean I feel like I'm probably entering into a season of persecution myself because you know so I I wanted some peace I up and moved to Southwest Virginia not having a job here not knowing the soul feeling the Lord so clearly calling me here and you know I have a I went through the pain of an abortion when I was much younger and I I just and I really feel the Lord is calling me to really participate pretty strongly in the pro-life movement good you should hopefully minister to women that are post-abortive themselves good so then and volunteering and add a go ahead let's just say we got a lot of callers waiting but I'm I'm for what you're doing there with a post-abortive I know the question yeah so I'm getting ready to do the 40 days for life March that's coming up here and you know just I know that you know being on front lines you know already just going there and praying yet people mocking me and you know yeah I'm just saying the most vile things but yeah yeah so in my question my question to them would be well if you're pro-choice then why can't I be here sharing information with a woman who's considering an abortion that might need something to think about well through that another no no no that's impressive no no no the left and the demonic forces behind it wants death and if you speak truth they're going to attack you their servants we've got to realize and I'll be writing about this from a spiritual perspective that we are at war with spiritual and dark forces in high places and that's what I have to continue to remember when they try when they mock and jeer that that that's a demonic force yes it is it is I'll be writing more about it and stuff like that we got to get going we got callers okay so yeah and just one last thing so I'm getting ready to have breakfast tomorrow with a Catholic friend who's very open to conversation my last question is where would you suggest I start start with a person the work of Jesus Christ I vote I've written over a hundred articles on Catholicism and and what I do with Catholics is say can you pray to Jesus yes if you ask Jesus forgive your sins will he and that's the discussion you want to have if they say no you got to go to Matthew 7 which talks about you know God gives gifts to those in you know how much more and you got to trust him and if he can says well yeah Jesus will forgive you for sins then why are you going to a priest because you have Jesus and your salvation is free in Christ and I give you a lot more stuff but there you go okay okay I'll get on the website thank you so much okay God bless Christine alright I like that she's full of energy good stuff let's get to Alberto from Georgia Alberto welcome you're on the air yes yes how you doing sir yes I got a question I watch this video about the Daniel B Wallace he said he recommended the net Bible was one of the best Bibles out there and then next the NIV but then the American Standard and the New American Standard he don't recommend it because they're not really readable they're very accurate but it's not readable and he recommended like he's categorizing it by elegance you know readability and but let me ask let me ask you what do you want from the Word of God a translation that smooths things out and makes it more smooth for you to understand or do you want something that is literal to the original intent of what was written because if it's going to be smooth it's by the interpretation and opinion of the translator who does that kind of a thing but if it's the let's get as literal as to the original as we can then there's less room for that that's why I go with the NASB 95 because I don't want people's interpretations of what scripture is supposed to mean even in translation I want the truth of what it says and because of that the NASB in Romans 5 18 in particular has led me to studying the Greek which I would not have done in any other translation and by studying the Greek in Romans 5 18 it led me to a whole bunch of new theological understanding about some stuff I would not have found in other translations that are just aimed at readability I want the truth of God's Word no matter what it says and that's what I recommend okay you but he was saying that the NIV and the next Bible had meaning of it and the other ones more of the form of it really well let me go to John 3 16 what it actually says in the Greek is you know John 3 16 God's love the world he gave his only begotten Son that that the all the believing one all the one believing all the believing one would have everlasting life it doesn't say whosoever now how literal do you want to be because John 3 16 is misquoted misunderstood by a lot of people to think that what it means is anybody who just wants to believe can that's not what it's saying it doesn't say all those who want to believe but it says all the believing one now I want it as literal as possible I want that in the week I have learned over the years if you want to study God's Word then study God's Word but if you want a translation that's gonna make you feel comfortable go get the you

calling in okay well I'm glad you're calling I just want to make a comment about the black lives matter being a terrorist group and I just want to say that I totally agree with you you know I've been a Christian who believes in God's Word and I know that I've read everything that you was reading about the black lives matter and I came to the same conclusion you did that they are a terrorist group they totally against God's Word yes they are and I just feel like I don't know understand why people don't see black lives matter as what they really are and they are a terrorist group and it's just it promotes lawlessness and all kinds of first things that are better against God nature and also there is another group out there another organization that's called every black life matter I don't know if you ever heard of that group but it's an alternative to that black lives group it's a Christian group so if anybody want to check out that website it seemed like it's based on from the womb to the tomb you know they believe in the life of all black lives matter from the from the womb to the tomb so anybody wants to turn away from the black lives matter organization that they can go out to that website and see what they're all about and I've been out there on that website like it had it's a pretty good organization so it's every BLM calm every BLM calm and the reason I want to give it so quickly without checking it out it says in on the home page critical race theory conference July 10th find out what your kids are going to be taught and how to stop it good right so good for them and black people are all over that website and black life every black life matters that's that's right even the ones that are unborn right exactly that's right to stop abortion yeah right that's all I want to comment on it on that and just wanted to let you know that I totally agree with what you say about the black lives matter organization about it being a terrorist group it is it's a soft terrorist group they're not out there bombing and stuff like that well you know the thing is that someone inside of it does it yeah mm-hmm then someone doesn't know us that's not really what BLM stands for well actually it is because it stands for removing the police abolishing state gang databases that's what the the breathe act which coolers defense and says yeah that she had she's sport and she's a Marxist right you want to you know I'm just reading through some of the stuff I did this research a year ago and I need to follow up yeah that's right you know if you want to if people want to make things better if people make things better between blacks and whites well everybody just stop focusing on black and white everybody should start focusing on what kind of person are you
