Matt Slick Live

The following program is recorded content created by Truth Network. All you have to select the And I go, you sent me something? And it's just a lot of stuff out there to read.

So just bear with me. I've already started releasing some articles. You can go to CARM homepage. You can start reading some of the articles if you want to check them out, mask mandates and stuff. I'm working now on an article listing the sources I've gone to under kind of loose topics like news sources and websites and various things. And so people can do their own research. But at any rate, there you go. Now, why am I doing this? Well, because Jesus is the Lord over all. Christians sometimes make a mistake when they think that Christianity is only supposed to be on your personal home, behind closed doors and on church.

And you don't bother anybody else with it. That's not what Christianity is supposed to be about. It's about Jesus Christ, who is Lord of all. And all areas of the Christian's life is under the Lordship of Jesus Christ and ought to be, as well as all unbelievers ought to be under the Lordship of Jesus Christ. And the reason is because they were in Adam, and Adam was in subjection to God. And all people died in Adam. He represented all people, so they are covenantally bound, even though they don't believe it.

But that's the theological reason for that. So I'm searching this stuff. And because, I guess you could say, I have an interesting background in that I moved 26 times before I was 12 years old, lived on military bases. My dad was in the service and moved a little bit. I've moved literally 40 times. I've lived in 40 different places in my life, 40. And the last one, I've been in for 17 years.

How about that? But this gives you an idea how much I moved. So I learned to be a little independent and to not follow the crowd, because I went to 12 different elementary schools. And combine that with studying cults. And one of the things I've learned in the cults, studying them, is how people submit their minds and their wills to the power that be, the overarching prophet or the church, the true church, the restored church. And then whatever that true church says, whatever that prophet or prophetess says, et cetera, et cetera. And then they just submit to it.

And they get feelings, and they're confirmed that it's true. Well, I see this kind of rationale in the issue with the COVID. More and more I talk to people that are telling me stories of how their relatives, their friends, et cetera, are calling us, those who don't want to get vaccinated, right-wing wackos.

These are the people who just bite, hook, line, and sinker into the leftist propaganda. And when I use the word propaganda, yeah, I mean propaganda. Do I believe in vaccines?

Absolutely. Get vaccinated in a lot of things. However, are these vaccines that are for COVID worth it? That's where the research is showing a lot of conflicting information. And the real reason I'm doing all this research is because this is what happened.

I mentioned COVID and covered a couple of things a month or so ago, and YouTube banned my streaming ability for a week because of it. And I said, OK. That's what motivated me to start studying. And I'll tell you, I have found so much information. I had no idea how deep the well is of information.

And sorting through it to make it simple, to make it easy, to make it accurate, is extremely difficult. Now, yesterday, just so you know, I put up a disclaimer that all the research that I'm providing is there for your own information. You're not making any medical decisions on it. That kind of stuff is between you and your doctor, and that's it. You make your own decisions.

I'm just a researcher and writer, and the reason I'm doing it is twofold. People are asking me, is this the mark of the beast? Is this what's going on? Is this a Christian issue?

The lordship of Jesus Christ. And the other thing is, it's being used. The pandemic is being used to control people. I see this control methodology in the cults, and I see it here at society. I'll be writing an article on that sometime, anyway. That's why I'm doing the research on it. Now, you might not expect that in a Christian apologetic show, but that's what I'm doing. And so there you go. Hey, if you've got a question on all kinds of stuff, the Bible, Christianity, Atheism, Mormonism, Jehovah's Witnesses, Christian Science, Unity by Islam, the occult.

Did I say UFOs already? Quantum physics, a little bit. I've been studying that for a while. Seventh-day Adventism, I'm studying that more and more. Eastern Orthodoxy, I'm telling you. So much heresy, so little time.

All right, 877-2072276. Terry from Oxford, North Carolina. You must be a smart person from Oxford.

So what do you got? I wish that were true. But first, Matt, I want to say I appreciate you and your service to the body of Christ and to our Lord. But my question was, I think I've heard you say that Satan is currently found. And if you didn't say that, I apologize for twisting your word. But if you did, I would like more in what sense that he is Satan's mouth? Well, what I say is that when Jesus was on the earth, walking around, in Matthew 12, 22 through 32, he mentions something, because people are accusing him, Jews were accusing him of casting out demons by the power of the devil. And he said that in order to cast out demons, the strong man must first be bound.

That's what he said. And so he's doing it, so therefore logically, then it must be that Satan is bound. Now, is he still bound? That's a different question. We don't know from this perspective. From this perspective, we would ask that question.

OK, I got you. Yeah, and there's some, it's called amillennialism. Awe is the negator. Amillennialists don't hold to a literal 1,000-year reign. They say the word 1,000 is figurative, and it's like a kabillion. And that's how it is used that way in the scriptures very frequently, in a very figurative context. And so they would say, well, we believe in the reign of Christ, and then they'll say, because I'm an amillennialist, that's what I would say. I'd say, well, the wicked are taken out of the kingdom, according to Jesus in Matthew 13, 41.

They're taken out of the kingdom, and they're taken out before the Christians are raptured, which is what he says in Matthew 13, 30. So it's like, sheesh. So, you know, there's all kind of stuff.

So I teach what's called depressedcatology. OK? Not really. Not really. I get it. I get the fun, but yeah. Yeah, I teach depressedcatology. That's right.

It's only going to get worse and get depressed. So anyway, it's tongue in cheek, but a lot of fun. But I do teach the stuff that a lot of people don't teach, because I'm not loyal to any church or any denomination. And it's really freed me over the past few decades to just go, oh, what does it say? If I hold the one thing, I'm not going to get kicked out of any church.

I'm not a pastor, so I don't have to worry about the denominations coming against me if I teach something that I think is biblical that may not agree with it. So I've been free to just study, and I found these things, particularly back in 1330, when Jesus says the wheat and the tares allow them both to go together until the end of the age. And I'll say to the reapers, first, gather the tares. I'm reading that going, what? But that's what it says. All right, that's what it says. All right, well, thank you very, very much. You're welcome very, very much. God bless, man. God bless. God bless. God bless. All right.

All right. Hey, there we go. Let's get to Nick from Des Moines, Iowa. Nick, welcome.

You're on the air. Thank you. Just kind of piggyback off that last one, I heard you last week talking about that same thing you just talked about, two people will be in the field, one will be taken, and one will be left behind. That kind of blew my mind when I started hearing you explain that. So I started doing a little more research, and yeah, I mean, it's right there. So I guess I don't know if you could, I guess, yeah, it's amazing. But I guess I'm kind of into that now.

I'm just going down that rabbit hole trying to figure out what's going on there. So I didn't know if you could expand on that a little more. Or what are you, I mean, as far as the rapture, are you pre-trip rapture, I suppose? I mean, I am. I've always believed in that.

I didn't know if that changes anything there. No, personally, I hold to post-trip rapture. I think we're going to go through it. I hope I'm wrong.

And if you think I'm wrong, I hope you're right. Because it's not what I want to believe. I just don't find anything in the Bible that says we're going to escape anything. It says we're going through everything. It says when you see this, when you see that. And when you go to, for example, Matthew 24, Jesus is there, and they ask him.

They said in verse 3, because he says the stones on the temple will all be taken down. They said, tell us, when will these things happen, and what will be the sign of your coming and the end of the age? And this is something you've got to study, too, is this age and the age to come. There's two ages spoken up in the Bible, and I've never heard any preacher ever talk about it that I remember. But this age and the age to come, it was Kim Riddlebarger in Southern California who opened my eyes to this.

And I was like, you've got to be kidding me. And so I've studied it ever since. But nevertheless, this age and the age to come, you've got to study that, and I have an article on it on Karm. But they ask him, when are you going to come back? The end of the age. And he tells us all kinds of stuff. And he says, but immediately after the tribulation of those days, the sun will be dark. And this is verse 29 of Matthew 24.

The sun will be dark, and the moon will not give its light, et cetera. And the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky. And they'll 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 gather his elect from the four winds. So that happens by his own words after the tribulation.

That's what he says. Matthew 24, 29 to 31. And if you go to 1 Thessalonians 4, 16 through 10 to 5, verse 2, it talks about the last trumpet is when the rapture occurs. And if you do a study on trumpet, the last trumpet, you'll find out that that last trumpet is the rapture. And the last trumpet is also the resurrection.

You find it out, there's ways to do that. And I have it all mapped out. And so there it is after the tribulation. He'll send forth his angels and gather them together. And there's only one gathering of the elect, not two. And notice it says, elect. The elect are the ones called for the foundation of the universe, before the universe was made, to be saved. That's Ephesians 1, where God says, he chose us in him before the foundation of the world. The word chose, there's ekligomai, believe it's ekligomai. And here in Greek, gather his elect, it's eklectos. And these are the three main words that are used for election and choosing, showing God's work. So gather his elected ones.

And when you go to Matthew 24, 24, false Christs and false prophets will arise and show great signs and wonders so as to mislead, if possible, even the elect. So who's he coming for? Do you see? There's so much.

And there's the music. Hold on, buddy. I'm going to leave a comment after the break. OK, hold on. Hey, folks, we have two open lines, 877-207-2276. I hope I haven't upset too many people.

But those are the scriptures. Hey, we'll be right back. Stay tuned, please. It's Matt Slick live, taking your calls at 877-207-2276. Here's Matt Slick. All right, welcome back, everyone.

Let's get back on the line here with Nick. Hey, are you still there? Yes. So did I mess you up?

No, I mean, honestly, it's just really interesting. You know, any time it comes to any of Jesus' prophecies or the book of Revelation or any of that, I always kind of, every time I read it or every time I hear something, it's like I get something new from it. So I just wanted to make sure I didn't miss anything. And I heard you correctly.

And then my next logical question was, well, that means a pre-trib rapture couldn't really happen. So I thought, well, I'm going to go look into this. So, yeah, I mean, it's honestly, I just, I know you said you kind of ingest about, I don't know how many people are scared off, but no, I mean, I think that's really interesting and I appreciate it. And that's exactly what I was looking for.

And I'll definitely look more into that. I just thought, boy, I had never caught that before. And you're exactly right.

When I went and looked it up, I thought it's right there. So yeah, that's very interesting. So you're talking about the two men in the field, one is taken, one is left. That's not the rapture.

That's the wicked who were taken, right? Exactly, yeah. So when you had kind of brought that to the light, I thought, OK, I never read that that way before. But then when you go read it, Matthew 24, Luke 17, and you look, it's very clear.

100% of the time, and I've shown this to people over years, 100%, they've all said, you're right. It's not about the rapture. It's about the wicked being taken when they read the context. Now here's a question.

Here's a question I think is really important. Why is it pastors are teaching that those scriptures are pre-trib rapture verses when if you just read the context, you find out that they're not? Why is it the pastors aren't reading the context? I think it's because they're just toting the denominational line, not doing the thinking they need to be doing.

I think it's a problem. Yeah, I would say most of what I understand from the rapture is what has been passed on to me as a child and through my church and everything. And it's kind of like, well, I will find that I've always just believed that. And then I can read verses that kind of point to that. But to your point is I never really dissected those verses. So yeah, I mean, I need to read the context, correct?

That's right. And it's a good thing you checked because you don't want to trust some guy in the radio named Slick. Yeah, well, that's a good point, too, I guess.

But I always do like to check. Good for you. You bet. All right, that's what we're doing, buddy. All right, well, God bless, Nick. God bless, OK? Yeah, thank you, sir. Have a good day. You, too.

Thanks. All right, let's get over to Doug from Salt Lake City. Doug, welcome.

You're on the air. Doug, I hit the button. Oh, no, did I? No, I didn't. There we go, Doug. Now let's try it. I thought I hit the button. OK. OK. Are you there?

Yep, I'm here. OK. Sorry about that. OK. Well, that's all right. I've been listening to numerous pastors.

I won't name names, but one on TV and one on this radio station. And I get one guy that's talking about, in Romans chapter 8, that there is no condemnation for sin. And that we have already, we believers, yes. We believers, we won't have a judgment, because our judgment has already passed.

And then I listen to it, actually. Pastor Lutzer last night. And he talked about every believer will have a judgment one on one with Jesus. Yep, that's true. OK, so I know the Bible doesn't contradict.

So what's, how do I? It's easy. Romans 8, 1, the condemnation it's talking about is of damnation. We passed out of that condemnation. There is no condemnation.

The judgment seat is the place where we go, and we're judged for the works that we've done. So Romans 8, 1 says there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. That means they're saved, because in Christ Jesus is a phrase that is specific in the scriptures, and it means those who are saved in him.

Not unbelievers, not the non-elect. And you'll see that as a pattern in scripture. But nevertheless, when it talks, for example, 2 Corinthians 5, 10, it says we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ so that each one of us may be recompensed for his deeds in the body according to what he's done, whether good or bad. That does not affect our salvation. Romans 8, 1 is about salvation, but the other stuff is about rewards and loss of rewards in heaven. That's what the judgment seat of Christ, that's all that is. So even if you lose almost everything, so to speak, all your works, you're still in heaven. That's what's going on. And so I understand that this is, the judgment is your life post-accepting Christ, right?

Yeah, it's gonna be a yawn there. The works that we do, see, a lot of people think that we're called to be Christians, which we are, and that we're justified, which we are, by faith, which we are. We can't lose it, which is fine, that's good. But they often think it doesn't matter what you do.

That's wrong. God has given us gifts. Every single Christian has been gifted with something or some things in order to bring glory to God one way or another. And the pastor, one of the pastor's jobs, one of the jobs of the pastor, I should say, is to help them discover that gifting and equip them in that area and provide opportunities if possible, within reason, to be able to utilize and develop those gifts. That's what the pastor's job is, in part, also to teach and inform and correct and guide. And so this is what needs to be understood in the Christian church, is that the judgment seat of Christ is for the Christians who will have a reward or loss of reward in heaven, but we've passed out of condemnation.

So the judgment is different than the condemnation, okay? Okay, yeah, that's great. Well, I appreciate your help, as always. Well, you're welcome, man, God bless. All right. God bless, man, take care.

You too. All right, let's get to Paul from Virginia. Hey, Paul, welcome. You're on the air. Hello. Hello. Thank you.

You're welcome. Yes, I'm here. Okay, what do you got, buddy? Well, I have kind of a multi-pronged question. First of all, I'm not here to debate you or to counteract what you're saying.

All right. I'm 60 years old. I used to walk to church as a boy because my parents didn't go to church. And this was in 1970. I was attending an independent Baptist church in my area, and I accepted Christ at that time. And I fully believe as a nine-year-old child, even though I was in the church by myself, which I used to sit with two older women, who I'm sure are gone now, on one. With the Lord? Well, yes, they were elderly then. And so this was 51 years ago, and I accepted Christ as a nine-year-old. So that last call was a little bit concerning because you said we're judged after it. That's right, it should be concerning.

But not for salvation, we're not judged for salvation. Right. Anyway, I would have to sit down and actually write some things down in order to ask you the questions I would want to ask. That's all right. Give it a shot.

What do you got? But I feel like that no one can take that away from me, ever. No one can take that.

I've had people try to tell me, well. Hold on, we've got a break, OK? Can you hold on? We'll get back to you after the break, OK?

Sorry about that, it's a hard break. Hey, folks, we have one open line to 877-207-2276. Give me a call. It's Matt Slick, live, taking your calls at 877-207-2276.

Here's Matt Slick. Welcome back to the show we're at the bottom of the hour once you give me a call and let's get to Paul from Virginia Paul Are you still there? Yes, I'm here. All right Okay, so did you have a question? Yes, and so it's gonna take me a few minutes to get through this Try to get this question.

Well, I mean, you know, what are we doing here? So What what I want to say is is that So I've had some people try to tell me that because I accepted Christ when I was nine years old that it that it didn't Stick the first time so to speak but that's not that's not my my real question Is that I've been listening to you quite a bit. Mm-hmm and there are so many different people that say so many different things and like just for example on my television there's 10 channels the Catholic Channel. Yeah, the you know EWT and the three ABN Network, which is seventh-day Adventist.

There's both. There's the gym There's the impact channel, which is right now the Jim Baker show and I wonder how is this man on TV? There's three bad channels, huh? There's Hillsong.

There's a TV. There's there's There's the word Network, there is Daystar. There is TBN. There is of course Son of Life broadcasting Which is the last turn the swagger swagger family? and so You know As a 60 year old man who accepted Christ when I was nine years old I've had a I've had a lot of ups and downs in my life. I you know, I hope I hope this God God finds me worthy or you're not worthy death or they Christ Death for real and resurrection.

What was the truth justification and proof creation of my sin? Yeah, that's right. It's our faith and trust in him.

That's that's what it is. But what I'm getting at is the way that Just like in our current econ or our current And you have to forgive me. I have a mild cognitive issue due to pharmaceutical drug poisoning which I try to tell people to read Anatomy of an Epidemic by Robert Whittaker But about what's going on because most people don't know this, but What I'm trying to get at here is just as this the current Is the current state of affairs with politics in our country with these two corrupt parties? They they're called Democrats and Republicans or independents or whatever they are Yeah, I see I'm sick and tired of hearing all these different things and nothing ever get Changes or gets any better and it's sort of like that Which I guess it's not going to get better if you you know, if you believe what what's been prophesied but that's another thing when it comes to the the pre-mid and post-trip Controversies and there's a man that follows you in the hour after this that was Having people call him and talk about various subject matter more of a political climate Mm-hmm and whatnot at the very end of the show you said, you know, we don't care if you're pre-mid or post-trip You know kind of thing is in other words.

He kind of blew it off. Well, that's part of the problem because nobody can agree On anything and the same thing. Well, what's your question though?

I need a reader question. Well, it's just that I Think that there are too many different There are too many different like interpretations and beliefs and I For one have I say my prayers to God and I'm no longer involved in any organized church Because Paul Paul don't have a question. I believe Paul Why should I believe you? Why should you believe me? Yeah, that's your question Just check what I say against scripture one of my questions because like I said, we're on the air and you don't have it so much time Here's the thing you check what I say against scripture and if you've listened to me you listen to others Here's a question to ask how many of them quote the scripture references?

Repeatedly, this is where it says this this word says that's where it says this. So people will say well preach tribulation rapture It's in the Bible and they leave it. I say post tribulation seems to be taught you go to Matthew 24 29 to 31 Let's also go to mark 13 and look at the parable with the tears in the election, which is tied in with Ephesians 1 4 That's what I do. I tell people where the verses are so they can go look so you believe in you in other words So your post tribulation trip course you take it out Yes, but you asked the other question why you should you didn't believe me Just believe what the scriptures say and that's why I give references to where things everybody does though That's what every you see shouldn't believe you should believe what the scriptures say then why are you on the air there?

I mean, that's why we're here. We're listening to what you say Paul The thing is go check the Word of God just like a guy called earlier today What I talked about my point my point is is that? That is a big thing that I see is why would God allow 15 different I'll just start used to number 15.

Why would God allow 15 different Interpretations why would there be? You want an answer people following for example, the seventh-day Adventist if you believe I don't even that But you want an answer because sin is in the world and they're following people and churches instead of Jesus Christ That's okay. So in other words, we shouldn't have any churches then Okay, Paul look That's not what I said. You're drawing it in an improper inference Well, which is the person to go to which is the right church? There is no the right the correct.

Okay. There is no the right church what I would suggest you do is Go to the website carm.org and look up what to look for in a church And as long as they're not violating those things that are in the scriptures. Well, then it's a church. That's good enough No church is perfect. Well, I know that so what you do is you just do you find a church perfect?

You've yet right you find a church that teaches the essentials of the faith It doesn't teach women pastors and elders doesn't teach that the homosexuality is okay That teaches that there's a hell that there's judgment to come and when the pastor seeks to equip the Christians at a babysitting them This is what's happening A lot of a lot of churches is because of pressure on the Christians is growing in our society Christians are becoming weaker and more timid and more afraid and the pastors have the opportunity now To speak boldly and with truth because we have Jesus Christ and this is what needs to be done That's a good church whether you even preach a rapture a poster of rapture Because those things are what we call audio for the non essentials So I'd recommend you go to car and look up the essentials of the Christian faith and they're derived from what the scripture says Not from what I say. All right, right? Okay, but you know what? We got a lot of callers waiting So we need to move along.

Why don't you call back tomorrow? We all right. Thank you.

Pick it up on this All right. Okay. All right, Paul. Thanks. Sounds good All right. Let's get to Todd from Des Moines.

Hey, Todd. Welcome. You're on the air Yes, I can yes I can what do you got buddy Revelation 12 I apologize I'm looking at revelation 12. What's the what's the wording and I'll find it Yeah, it has to do with I'm sorry.

I just had it here a minute ago. I apologize. It's all right. It's all right. Trust me.

I'm 64. I know what you're talking about. Why am I in this room? Okay, that's right Revelations 13 actually verse 7 here 13 7. Okay. Yeah, and it says it was given to him to make war Uh-huh with the Saints and overcome them. Yep Yeah, I just I appreciate the conversation here on the Rapture and of interest to me I decided to study out revelations for a number of months and I was really surprised to come across this verse I'm a little curious how you think that verse fits in with just what we're talking about the Really the Saints being around when things get very different this seems to point exactly to that I'm just curious if you don't I haven't heard you've mentioned this and it was really surprised when I did a deep study revelation to come across this across this because not only are we around it appears that not only could we be around for that Tribulation, but it's calling us to persevere Even to the point of death.

Yeah, that's right May 24 Luke 17 mark 13 talks about this Revelation 13 talks about this About us enduring even to death This is what we're called to in fact Philippians 1 29 it says to you it has been granted not only to suffer but also to believe in his name Suffering is a crown of glory for the Christian Now how many people would want to go to the church that I was pastoring if I said that and preached it's a crown of Suffering it's a crown for you for the glory to be as the Apostles praise God that they were deemed worthy to be persecuted for his name and what we have as Christians is pre tribulation rapture instant Gratification this and that remote control this and inter condition this and that and so we're so comfortable, but you're right I mean revelation 13 and it was given to him the beast to make war with the Saints That's us and to overcome them and authority over every tribe and people and tongue and nation was given to him all Who dwell on the earth will worship him? We're gonna be around That's what it says now. Hold on. We got more.

Okay So that was Todd from Des Moines. Well, he's on hold folks. This is interesting and challenging. Please. Stay tuned. We'll 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 All right, we're looking back to the show. Okay There we go.

Todd Got lost there. All right, you're back on the air. Okay. Yeah.

Yep Yeah, you know, you know my question really was And you know, listen, I'll be honest. I don't agree with everything that nor should we but I think that's a spirit Christians We need to agree where we can agree and this was this was just such a key thing That says seem to be so evident and I just wonder you know for the Christians out there Are we really prepared that just because the wicked get taken our troubles aren't over? It seems like there there could be some of us who have to face it still to the point of whatever that means I mean, I looked up saints and that that definitely is the holy one and there's something there that says a call for Perseverance is needed Even in this even in this eight in that age. Uh-huh Have you ever read it? I don't know if I ever foxes book of martyrs Yeah Yeah, I read some of that stuff in there.

That's right. People don't know about that book one about persecution Read Fox's book of martyrs. I can't even repeat on the air some of the things that Christians are under But this but maybe maybe that's my question is do you think that it's more related to things that you know happen and well We while we still know we're in this age or are we really prepared for almost? You know living in this the second age and knowing we're in the second age and being able to face something That's you know, supernatural that we're up against.

Go ahead. I don't know what you mean by second age There's only two ages this age to age to come and the age to come is future We're in the present age, but I would say I have been saying is that Christians are not prepared when I do seminars and I teach and I ask diagnostic questions on basic theology they 80 percent fail. They just don't know and they've been going to church decades I'm once did a seminar of the kind of a private seminar with a bunch of elders and pastors in Southern California And I asked them at one point many things occurred. I asked him how many of you have, you know Let me see your hands like 40 men. I said how many have 100 verses memorized no hands went up. I Said about 25 no hands. So how about 10 a few hands went up five? These are pastors and elders Said how many of you pray with your family on a regular basis?

Maybe half the hands went up maybe Maybe this is how it is. We are so accustomed to comfort and ease that we have atrophied and What we're seeing around us in my opinion This is what I believe what we're seeing around us in the world how America is falling to liberalism socialism Marxism moral relativity the promotion of homosexuality Gender confusion depend the plandemic by which our rights are being confiscated and restricted Christians are sitting around and doing nothing and what should happen is we should take The lights that we are out from underneath the baskets and we should carry those lights to the hilltops We don't care people believe us or not believe us because we're speaking to please God not men and we need to march together We need to vote together. We need to call people email them together and say we've had enough of this idiocy and Demand that we don't get sued because they don't want to make a cake for homosexual couples It's against our religious belief. No, they have the power to shut you down now Why because Christians are doing nothing? But they will tithe to these ministries where you can have five jets and seven homes for one person. Yeah Name it and claim it.

Yeah. God wants you healthy and wealthy just tithe over here and your God will bless you the Narcissistic diaper Indian childish theology. It's taught that appeals to the immaturity the hearts of Christians and Tickles their ears. This is what's happening across America. And this is why America is in such bad shape Because Christians have not stood up to do their job Their job is not to wait for a rapture Their job is to get out as Jesus commanded them go out to every nation and make disciples That's what he said to do what a Christian is doing going to an electronic store to see if they get a bigger TV Because that's what's important Yeah, I appreciate that call because there's about ten of us families heading out Tonight and Saturday our goal is to reach out to over three weeks Thousand folks just to let them know there's Christians in the neighborhood and and they have a chance and so I appreciate that call right now There you go. I've thought about going door-to-door to my neighborhood to send you I'm gonna be teaching an advanced Bible study if you want to come but there's a lot of Mormons and Catholics here So I don't know but you know, it's just something of course. I'm on the air I do I do a lot of evangelism in ways, but but still we got to do something Yeah, okay, that's right. All right, buddy All right, man. God bless All right. Let's get to Nelson if he's still on after 34 minutes from Bakersfield.

Are you there? He's probably yes real quick from Matthew 24 from verse 11 through 14 Because lawlessness increased most people's level grow cold, but the one endures of the end will be saved This gospel the kingdom shall be preached to the whole world as a testimony to all the nations then the end will come It's talks about the tribulation period when the Antichrist is running loose when things are really bad The endurance and will be saved is not about salvation for sins and not going to hell It's being endured through that when it doors and it'll be saved through all of this crud. That's coming Yeah, again, it's called Yeah, well when you when they do that when they they quote that verse you have to listen carefully and Haven't repeat it and it's by two times and listen Because you want to hear it to rip, you know, the ripping sound out of context. Okay, just listen That's what you gotta do All right Because that's what's going on Because he says what will be the end of the age the time of your coming and then say and if they still anybody wants To say well, you have to endure to keep your salvation. Okay, how's it working for you?

How's it working? Are you doing enough good to keep yourself right with the holy God of the universe? You know Yeah, you know and it's true and the right side notice that a 13 it says and the one who endured he Will be saved it's talking about in the individual Person. Yeah, that's right.

I will toss and look in the Greek. It's after the word. He is right That's right, and it's you know, so Terry Yeah has many meanings in different context. Okay. All right. Okay, buddy All right. God bless.

All right, let's get to Will Wallace from Durham, North Carolina Wallace. Welcome. You're on the air Hello Mike and thank you so much for taking my call But my this concerning type Okay, timing and the reason why that I'm calling you because on today I heard this pastor say that there is nowhere in the Bible. That's That says to give ten percent. Yes, there is and so I was one of okay And If you don't mind just answer these pardon Well, you know what tithing is ten percent and tenth of I put it a tithe means but that's in the Old Testament There is nothing in the New Testament that obligates us to do that Okay, we're out from underneath the law Because when Jesus was crucified and that he died math in a Hebrews 8 13 Hebrews 9 15 through 16 It talks about the new covenant coming in with the death of Christ. And so the new covenant does not require tithing So we don't have to tithe We're free to tithe Before in the Old Testament was obligatory. You had to do this You couldn't walk very far on on the Sabbath.

You had to not work on the Sabbath. You had a tithe now It's not like that You're free to tithe You're free to give not obligated and that's how it works. Okay Okay now Now there have been many pastors that I've heard them say this that The pastor's supposed to receive the tithe is that scripture?

well In its first critique first of the fuck. Let's see first of the 517 we go to bed The elders who rule well are to be considered worthy of double honor Especially those who work hard at preaching and teaching for the scripture says you shall not muzzle the ox while he's threshing and the laborer Is worthy of his wages? So does the pastor receive the tithes and sometimes yes sometimes no because if you have a church of five people in the middle of nowhere and there's a man working as That and the people tie they go straight to him to in his part of his support But if you have a church of a thousand people the bunny should not go to that pastor They should go to people who then designate how much and the eldership how much is given as a salary and things like that So A lot of these guys what they'll do on TV You know if you want to be blessed you want to be blessed you got to bless you got to get put that scene Take tithe money in that's right. You know you can see how prosperous. I am that's right That's what happened to you, and you know see it's a charlatan.

It's idiocy. It's stupidity in charlatan theology They're gonna pay on the day judgment for it Mm-hmm okay, okay, so then if a pastor does not receive the tithe that doesn't mean that he's gonna be Curse or he's not gonna be blessed the way that the law wants him to be blessed now I'm not sure I understand what you meant by receive the title. I was understanding it to me Okay, actually his hands on it.

He got he gets it directly. That's what I thought you meant, but maybe that's not to be right and right and That's absolutely correct, but I've also heard pastors say that maybe your ministry Could be suffering Because you supposed to be receiving the tithe and you're not because you are putting it back into the church Okay, so ask him to show from Scripture where that is and he might go to the book of second Marana calls I think it's in second Marana calls Next to third Okay, it's a joke all right in that words. It's not in Scripture. I always ask them show me your scripture Show me in script right it. Yes in in third stupid effications It says blah blah blah so ask them to show you in Scripture. Okay, just because look just because the guys on TV It does not mean he knows what he's doing or if he's doing on radio doesn't mean he knows what he's doing You've got to check everything.

He says against Scripture. That's how it should be That's how it should be and when it comes to money. You got to be very careful because it's easy I know I've never done it, but I know in the position of authority and teaching you can manipulate people It's very absolutely it's right, and I remember the one and only time when I recognized that I could do that in a group That I was teaching and was the only time I ever recognized it was a flaw was the first time and I vowed Right then that I would never Never use that ability in that power for my own glory, but for the glory of God I remember I was standing I remember everything about it was back like in 1980 or 81 1980 or 81 so what the point is we have to make sure that we're glorifying God and With when people when I was doing a home church for a while here in Idaho People wanted to start tithing, and I said I don't want to know anything about it I don't care you guys decide what you want to do with it You know and that was it and that was how it was with me in fact I have friends who give to the ministry of Carm. I don't want to know anything about it It's just It's you know let others deal with that my job is to do one thing to preach and teach and if I I'm gonna do that if you don't want to tithe and don't you want to give them to you and God? That's how it is all right, and we're out of time, buddy.

Well. Thank you so much. Thank you so much. Okay, man Okay, God bless all right.
