Celebrating the World-Changing Power of the Word

You know there were times with the church with penalize those who translated the Bible into lying to the people that people who translated the Bible into English paid for it with their very lives stage for the line of fire with your host activist, author, international speaker and theologian Dr. Michael Brown your voice of moral cultural and spiritual revolution Michael Brown is the director of the coalition of conscience and president of fire school of ministry get into the line of fire now by calling 866-34-TRUTH. That's 866-34-TRUTH here again is Dr. Michael Brown think of it, we have so many translations of the Bible today into English. I was signing up for a new Bible reading plan just something that would keep me going through the Scriptures.

In addition to the regular study that I do because often I get off track with daily reading because of studying certain issues in the word and I just looking at the available translations on one website where you can sign up and it's amazing how many fine translations that we have and yet was a time when the church suppressed the Bible. It did not want the masses to have the Bible in their language. If you could keep it say in a Latin.

Most people couldn't read, then only the clergy would know what was in the Scriptures. Can you imagine it and people who try to translate the Bible into English. John Wycliffe, William Tyndale were hotly persecuted or even paid with their lives.

This is Michael Brown. Welcome to the line of fire will be celebrating the word of God today and talking about how the word of God can even change culture and change nations and sharing with you historic new event is the tree of life version of the Bible has been embraced by Baker books, one of the world's largest Christian publishers and they are now actively distributing beautiful new editions of the tree of life Bible which is which is the first ever team effort.

Translation of the entire Scriptures from the original languages into English by a team of messianic Jewish and Christian scholars working together to produce a new translation that would be sensitive to the Jewish roots of the faith and it readable and powerful to your average English reader, and we got some special guests will be talking about that as well. I have read the accounts of the Bible getting into China before it was as available as it is today. It's much more available now than it was in decades past, under communism, but the group may be of house churches would get a Bible and this is the first Bible they had laid their hands on and then they would tear it to pieces. You said what you mean.

They were so excited about it that they they were pulling on truck Nono they were terror to pieces they were terror out one page at a time and then each person would get a page and then you would go and study that page and then bring it in exchange it for another place that has think of your page was was mainly the sacrificial offerings Leviticus or the genealogies in the beginning of first Chronicles in someone else's pages like Romans eight cirrhosis page was John one a major you're dealing with very different scriptural content. There is so much more applicable and edifying, but that's how it was cherished. I was given a copy of go and sin no more. That was distributed in Vietnam and it had multiple bookmarks it my book on sin, the more it had multiple bookmarks because multiple people reading it at the same time they pass it around and and then this moment when they were done a bookmark in the next person would get it. They would book markets are to be used by multiple people. One reason or the other didn't have the opportunity to you think of that level of hunger and thirst all the more for the Scriptures we have this extraordinary abundance of Scripture. Have we gotten complacent. Have we gotten lazy. Do we realize that there countries in the world where the Bible has been banned where it is been the most outlawed book in history.

Why because it's dangerous. Oh, not the way the new atheists and skeptics and critics say, but it's dangerous because it conveys the literatures of the living God that set people free and challenge establishment will be right back error on the line of fire with your host Dr. Michael Brown your voice of moral cultural and spiritual revolution. Here again is Dr. Michael Brown thanks for joining us on the line of fire. Celebrating the word of God today we are celebrating having the Bible in our language we can read it and understand it for ourselves when were not reliant on just leadership to tell us what the Bible says that every believer can read the Scripture and give account to God as a believer.

866-34-TRUTH 87884 is number to call. You might say but but but Mike, the world is going crazy around us and in the political scene is going crazy and who knows what the electoral seasons, Holden and you're on top of the Bible. Yeah, yeah, because there's nothing more relevant because there's nothing more world changing because there's nothing more world shaking. You can look at major changes in in countries and societies that can be traced back to biblical literacy you you you can look back to things that change the course of nations and can be traced back to people reading the Bible and getting the principles of Scripture in their hearts and in their minds. I'm working on a book to come out next year. That's that's gonna lay out how this is the key for national transformation in America getting back to biblical principles, not only the theocracy. I don't mean where we take over and enforce our views on everyone else but were we, God's people really start being people of the book. People of the word living out the truths of Scripture and as we do, and then show that God's ways are best you can have a life-giving effect on all of society. Now I have mentioned in recent weeks, what was called the old dilute her act was in 1647 in the colony in Massachusetts where the leadership these were Christians that fled from England to have religious freedom and came to America and one of the issues was that in centuries past. The Bible was not translated into English, even though the people of England spoke English and not Latin. The Bible was available in Latin and the average person couldn't read it to the average person was not familiar with the contents of Scripture disable why would the church leadership, Church of England or Catholic Church. Before that, why would it not want people reading the Bible and in their own language, you would think that every pastor every Christian leader would want church members to read the Bible for themselves what not. If you want to control them. Not if you wanted to have some level of power over them.

Not if you wanted to be able to manipulate them. Not if you did not want to perpetuate a a clergy or or break down the wall of clergy and laity separation if everyone can have the Bible that everyone can be a priest to God that everyone can read the Scriptures for himself or herself and everyone can come to their own conclusions about how to live before God as opposed to someone from the pulpit just telling them this is what we do and this is how we do it the old dilute her act in United States. While in the colonies before we have United States basically said when the town gets to 50 people that you or 50 families that you have to establish schools.

You have to have places of education, why because in times past the old dilute her meaning Satan the devil kept the Bible away from the people The Bible away from the people by not allowing it to be translated into their languages. Now that we have it in our language, so it would been the King James Bible, or even before that the Geneva Bible.

Now we have that in our language we need to make sure that people are educated so they can read the Bible. The purpose of the first schools in America was to be sure that people could learn to read so they could read the Bible.

This is not an exaggerated picture.

This is accurate picture of the way things were. And you can say that the the biblical mindset and the concepts of every human being being created in the image of God and the concept of liberty and equality for all that goes back all of that goes back to ultimately scriptural principles. By the way, if you have a question for me today about Bible translation about why recommend one version versus another about discrepancies that you know you can't seem to reconcile this translation with that translation.

Give me a call. I gladly take your questions on this today 866-34-TRUTH 7884 866-34-TRUTH four truth so when you when you go back in history.

You see, there were times when it was viewed that your average person can interpret the Bible for themselves and you need to be highly educated, you need to know other languages scriptural per principles of interpretation.

Otherwise, you might come to wrong conclusions.

One of the arguments that was raised against this once people reading the Bible in English for themselves was was this inner Jesus said if your right hand offends you a because he doesn't cut it off throw it away. If your right eye causes you to sin, pluck it out, throw away better to go to heaven with one arm and one hand, or 1 foot one. I then with both hands and feet and eyes go to hell and one of the Christian leaders who is in favor of the people having the Bible in their own language, said look people up in reading these words for centuries where they could read them in their own language they been reading the these words now in English and in you don't see everybody running around with one hand or with one eye.

In other words people understand it's a figure of speech that that it's not some secret code that only those who have a certain learning can can give you the answer know this. This is this is the. The simple plain truth of Scripture. This is laid out for all to see and people understand figures of speech is John Wycliffe hunted like a criminal for trying to translate the Bible into English.

He said all Christian life is to be measured by Scripture by every word there of these in holy Scripture is the highest authority for every believer. The standard of faith in the foundation for reform. He said the gospel alone is sufficient to rule the lives of Christians everywhere. Any additional rules made to governments conduct edit nothing to the perfection already found in the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Consider consider consider the price that was paid in centuries past. To get the Bible into English and now consider the wealth of translations that we have friends this week and unfolds in a moment this week. You can order through our ministry.

A beautiful slimline addition of the tree of life Bible literally. When I saw it out. I was amazed by the quality of this Baker books Bible we are projector Dr. Jeff Sipe yesterday. The project manager that preorders for this new Bible were 55 zero times higher than Baker expected they had to go to a second printing before the official release in Israel next week. If you believe that so were very excited to make this available but not only so it's postage-paid and were giving you a free DVD when you order so go to the website asked Dr. Brown a SK DR Brown.org asked Dr. Brown.org and take advantage of the special offer to see it right on the homepage. I let's go to the phone.

Starting in New York, Frank welcome to light a fire there Margaret Victor Garber God bless you Michael York that will motion picture Bible people during the ability to give your people are the well-known Anglican right of dartboard good history of the Reformation volume or pages Bible that quote there's been much world of foolish writing about the scarcity of the Bible viewed proceeding that is almost think I can prepare the holy Scriptures was almost a field book of English by Tyndale and cover the not the only source of minerals respect the before there was a translation made by white cracks are responsible. All Lehman could read or delete provided with their gospel. Fifth, although other devotional portions of the Bible men did in fact take a vast amount of personal trouble with respect to the holy Scriptures is accomplished by head and heart was what it is now cheaply done by paperwork for the machinery. The clergy study the word of God with the validity of those few among the later you read on that opportunity of reading the Bible is Latin, or English up to the Reformation."

Now I could multiply the statement but it doesn't Michael every difficulty there was at least 17 different versions of the German translation of the Bible, prior to 50 before even thought about this. This is a bit exploded many many hunted 10 continuous dexterity and we get a break. Frank, let's let's discuss this so please tell me why Wycliffe was imprisoned why Tyndale and flee for his life and was ultimately put to death for translating the Bible into English why I can give you multiply quotes as to how it was suppressed and then give me a list of all of the English translations available to the people before Wycliffe right will have a discussion Frank I know you're studying math hey this is Michael Brown. I want to invite you to join me for our second ever trip to Israel. February 25 through March 6, 2017 this is a great opportunity. I get to interact with you are radio listening audience.

For more information on the trip to secure your spot, go to asked Dr. Brown.org. Click on the Israel manner or call our office at seven 047-8237 for the Expo line of fire with your host Dr. Michael Brown to the line of fire now by calling 866-34-TRUTH here again is Dr. Michael Brown talking about the word of God in God's people having not and having a discussion with our Catholic friend Frank in New York about whether it's a myth that the organized church with the Catholic Church in the early Protestant church. If there was or Church of England ever suppressed the reading of the Bible by the court. Lehman and it was that William Tyndale, who famously said this, he said II perceived how that it was impossible to establish the laypeople in any truth except the Scripture were plainly laid before their eyes and their mother tongue, and they didn't have that accessible and he said I defy the pope and all his laws of God spare my life in many years I will cause a boy who tried drives the plow to know more of the Scriptures, then you do and in the hard sayings of the Bible it's noted that shortly after the publication of William Tyndale's English New Testament.

The attempt to restrict its circulation is by the Church of England was defendant on the ground that the simple reader might mistakenly take such language literally and will pluck out his eyes so the whole realm will be full of blind men to the great decay of the nation in the manifest loss of the king's grace and thus by reading of the holy Scriptures with a whole realm come to a confusion that according to a friar who said to declare this in the Cambridge sermon he met his match and you Latimer who in a sermon preached the following Sunday so that simple people will able to distinguish between literal and figurative terms.

For example, M went on if we paint the Fox preaching a Friars hood. Nobody imagines that a fox is meant that the craft and hypocrisy are described so often are found, disguised in that garb. According to everything that that I've read over the years, there was legitimate persecution of Wycliffe and Tyndale are costing Tyndale. His his life for translating the Bible into English and distributing it among the masses of people, so Frank your era a well read man. I'm sure you've read the history of the persecution of Wycliffe and Tyndale and others in an in these various coats that they wanted to get the Bible out to the people. So what you're having any deny those accounts which are basis or will Michael first of all roofing rated the poker translation in German. Even Zwingli had a bit with the corruption of the word of God contained a thousand glaring error.

This is one of the problem. Now look at this this other quote fields just with the recordable quarterly review of October 1856, 79, dealing with Goldberg life Bishop are but feel a stronger thesis quote. The notion that the people in the Middle Ages did not read their Bible is probably exploded. Except the more ignorant of controversial but at a glance of this Parliament is a glance of this volume is enough to show that the notion is not simply a mistake that is one of the most ludicrously grotesque of blunders. If having the Bible at their fingertips and could have saved the Middle Ages peaches from abuse.

There were certainly well-equipped equipped, they were not merely accomplished actuaries, they had their mind saturated with the language and associations of the spec would think that the Puritans of the 17th century. I could go on and on that hand dosages those are just opinions of individuals that it still does not deny the fact here's what it's like I coming from outside soft in the rain.

How totally soft in the rain from head to toe and my feet are soft from walking through puddles and you say, I've got all these reports it's not raining outside. While there's no there's no accounting then for why Wycliffe and Tyndale were hunted like criminals why Tyndale paid with his life.

Why they have all these coats about how they're going to get the Bible out to the masses of people and as for Luther's translation it. It was no more inaccurate then then then the Vulgate would hundred dollars requires growth and accuracy what you just said it was fraught with Eric Michael since the Vulgate, so get rid of the German translation of the Bible. Middle Ages read that book proved appropriate. The year 1541 before Luther ever even thought of translating the Bible, there existed 17 edition of the Bible in German.

I asked about English never asked about English which are the in-house translations before Wycliffe well maybe they were hunted down like that Michael because they will that the church was afraid of what movement the Bible.

Wycliffe is before Luther Wycliffe's before Luther ended up look, you're not Frank this much we know where where you are are you are you a a a you are you a translation scholar. Can you read Hebrew, Greek fluently, as well as Latin and German fluently now.

Okay so so when I say that the Vulgate is fraught with errors. You say it's not of this this my feelings that you feel every everybody knows it's Jerome you know that initially responsible. Jerome did a great job with the knowledge he had, but it still has many errors and and that's why the Vulgate is one text that that we use that room to room with the church father who was not a church court. Michael will listening. He was one of the church product part of the church. He's used on three 400 year he's 300+ years removed from the New Testament right that correct worm safety was what Luther did to the Bible, there was many, many translations of German before Luther that were corrupted and loose with the just followed in that suit you went back to the heat release and went to the Hebrew and Greek. And that's why scholars have value distress is far from perfect. But scholars have evaluated translation for centuries. Frank run the biblical scholars German biblical scholars.

Luther's translation is even Zwingli that it contained thousand glaring errors and you'll find a thousand glaring errors in the jury range of find a thousand glaring errors in the Vulgate that can see that that's like that, that it really misses the point. In all fairness, I asked the question you had time during the break to look up give me English translations before Wycliffe where are they if they were so abundantly available, and why were Wycliffe and Tyndale hunted like criminals. Hey, I would talk more but I've got other callers and and of the end of this segment here. I got a break coming up. By the way, a colleague sent me a chat you had with Michael Savage reason to really enjoy the conversation but will keep talking. As always, hate, we can agree on this or it's important for every follower of Jesus to read the Bible for himself or herself. Yes, we we agree on that. I'm sure okay I got a run. Take advantage of this special offer, friends, the tree of life version of the Bible. Now, in a beautiful addition from Baker books.

It is a beautiful slimline edition I was frankly surprised at the fact that it was well was priced as low as it was I was genuinely surprised take advantage of it.

Get a copy for yourself and will send you a free DVD and pay the postage malaise at Astec around KSK Art Brown.Ward. It's the line of fire with your host activist, author, international speaker and theologian Dr. Michael Brown voice of more cultural and spiritual revolution get into the line of fire now by calling 6643 here again is Dr. Michael Brown is an amazing first thing Jeremiah chapter verse 16 with the profits as your words which words were found, and I did eat them your word became to me the joy and rejoicing of my heart from called by your name Lord of hosts. God told Joshua that the word of God should not depart from his lips. He was to repeat it recited meditate on it day and night. By doing this he would then walk in obedience and have the blessing of God to conquer the land. A few minutes I want to take some more of your calls about the Bible in English Bible translations the history of the Bible whether or not it was suppressed by the church in times past, but were were so excited over the latest developments with the amazing journey of the tree of life messianic Jewish version of the Bible which was the brainchild of Downey or Greenberg and we have been amazed to see how God is open doors now with Baker books with all of their clout with all of their worldwide distribution with all of their credibility and respectability to get behind the tree of life version and to put it on the new additions is a tremendous tremendous blessing. So my joy to speak with Dr. Greenberg again. I want to fire.

Hey, welcome back to the broadcast hello so what's happening in Israel next week. Next week we have our Baker upper echelon prayer tower going to be right after the firm can at 10 PM. I tryst on time which is actually a clock here on June 1 30 minutes on production plant at Jonathan. Dr. thanked my husband Rabbi Mark make out the letter faithful friend Pastor Wayne Hilton will be there. And where baby sharing the tree of life version from Jerusalem incredible Johnny what's the significance of Baker books now taking on this translation and in essence making it their own. Expanding their recognition. Scholar our time have reached a place of excellent in Bible translation can really get behind the fact that they have to integrate 32 PhD. Thinking dedicated project and fellowship behind the attacks is outstanding. We've never had that kind of just both support from agencies and Bible publisher like Baker is a phenomenal event. Dr. Sykes mentioned on the air yesterday that the preorders were way beyond what Baker was expecting way beyond. We've had the most fun working with Baker because they're open and wanting to know more about the mess in community basically how we understand ourselves after years of maturing from the Jesus movement you know that PhD scholar we really come into our own and in doing that we we have language we have a culture that is very much congruent with faith and piety to be able to cross that bridge in language and connect with people that led Israel. This tactic is been miraculous, and obviously they feel it's a Bible for the masses and not just for a small group of people who have some kind of Jewish roots of session or something like that, way beyond that. I think that the most important thing to recognize that this is not a niche Bible is authoritative, Jewish and Christian collaborative effort that speaks to the very heart of our faith in Matthias Sheila faith in Jesus so critical to our understanding of the roots of our family tree. Any grafting our family tree back together. Amazing like this and how I wanted to talk about some of the new developments with the messianic translation. The tree of life with Baker. This new slimline edition and then really the significance historically of this undertaker calls we come back as well.

866-34-TRUTH 87884 file line of fire with your host Dr. Michael Brown get into the minor fire now by calling 866-34-TRUTH dear again is Dr. Michael Brown before I get back. Bible and Bible translation. I wanted you Greenberg enthusiastic founder of the tree of life messianic Jewish version of the Bible, the founder of this project we we talked before on the air, but when she first approached me about it and I was still going is teaching leaders seminar in Missouri and spoke with Eric seemed like an impossibly large outlandish project who knew then that only God would bring an incredible team together, but that it would have so much favor with so many people. It is been the most popular resource that that we've offered over the last year through our own ministry, and now that Baker books has taken over the production and distribution of the Bible. It's going to get to far far more. Many people tell you that the slimline edition there's a paperback. But then there is one in II guess it's that the fake leather look that's just Arabella during Ella Hackett.

Amazing holding Inc. Mark and it doesn't create a nominal it's really a great product. Yeah when I saw that I I thought it was really high and in one of these mega expensive special custom Bible she get is a gift for somebody it was was amazed to see the price but I guess that's that's what Baker can do their thing and their print capability and extraordinary.

They've got a wonderful job pulling it together and put in the health that they did at our special request without touching that then on a regular printer.

Would you guys mind putting in just the Shabbat blessing for the men and a nature that they put in Israel they put in the glossary in the back that the things that they did to get personalized that make it really is the goal for our family and I and that's the word that I wanted to talk about in the last couple minutes that word families we we were part of a gathering in in Dallas last year where the different translators came to we met with Baker then talked about potential projects, and study Bibles and things like that and in the future and and then the last day, your family, led us in a time of corporate worship and that's me, was that the sweetest time of all.

But that's what you've done as a family for years and this was part of your vision to have a Bible that could be a family centerpiece. Why is it so critically important that families get back to the study of Scripture together most important thing we can do generation to recognize that title study at home, gathering around the Bible worshiping the God of Israel, looking for his presence into our home is a critical critical element to keeping families together in America. If we can study the word of God together worship together look to the Scriptures like last difficulty, your family, stand strong family didn't have that growing up marker. I Jewish nine I was raised Catholic and when we came together and wanted to raise our children in 18 that led to this vital project, but the vital project itself built a sense of such a need for the presence of God in our family home and family bio got back on the coffee table and have become Dr. Brown. We need and our country family Bible revolution and I'm committed to that awesome look. It is people getting into the word these things and change cultures of change countries because people see what's written begin to live it out. Hey I'm I'm thrilled and rejoicing with the success we got a bunch of folks on the radio with us celebrating this week. Dr. Syed John Burns yesterday Dan Juster today others through the rest of the week so thanks for joining us. Have a have a blast in Jerusalem and I give my warm regards to the Baker folks as well. I will Right background bailout got thanks all right. And by the way.

By the late when you're reading the tree of life version of the Scriptures. So let's say you're reading from the other five books of Moses Ito Markoff are you okay this is the opening partiality opening portions of these are read a one portion a week in the synagogues you go through the whole trouble five books of Moses, in the year and synagogue, along with other readings, so it starts off you. Chapter 1 partial gray sheets and then you get into the six chapter and beginning the ninth verse partial know. So if you just want to follow along with the reason synagogue when she started that the beginning of the year around September October. You can do that, just as you read through the tree of life version of the Scriptures. All right, let's let's go that Chelsea, Massachusetts. Daniel walking to the line of fire hi Michael Brown I say that although our capital project will argue that the restrictions of Roman Bible translate vernacular was merely due to neck and accurately the of the fact that unlike the Puritan as part of her defamation of the New Testament church but a call. It grown greatly entered literacy by the laity and Morton translation of for decades like the note in a people show you they engage in something, perhaps the destructive in which you have durable accounts rendered labeled folktales think they ignore in the blood.

Things like that are basically are marginalized and which is very dangerous slippery folk, but early on. John could prevent the very important Bible. And he denounced the error that would be committed only by monk. The priest up by 1211 99. Open (that that the desire to read the Scriptures is praiseworthy, but that the practice was dangerous, but the simple in them learned. Remember that your alerted people the one to defend judgment. Pope Pius IV, I believe it was the require the Bishop to refute late for the doctor be descriptive of the Descriptive Lester confesses her parish priest judged that the treaty would likely to be proven beneficial for the front of the same thing of the Durand Bible of Bethel that we have a basically expressive that we do not publish this translation based upon their own era that the holy Scriptures should always be in the mother talk with her. This should be read and partly by all that they believe that there were actually hurtful to Betty that the be Studied only in the ecclesiastical learn languages so why is the result you have basically biblical argument which the curtains try to counteract the were English translation not too popular, but not the point is, what good is that if people don't read the necessary electric to get the people to read as well as provide them Scriptures and the language with the Puritans endeavor to do that Daniel sent thank you for this quote switch verify what I've understood and again if there was widespread support of everybody should read the Bible in their own language.

Why were those who translated into the language of the people persecuted by that very church a II appreciate the references and reminder for all of the vehicle had about. I mean you have all these coats, especially biblical church that one duty of the Catholic befall the pastor. I mean, this goes beyond simply infallible pronouncement that I have one of the quote that showed but the weather was basically fostered with the idea of what the leadership and the leadership interpreting for you and I keep the flock nice and faced the big night unified unfortunately resulted unified era today.

Yeah, and Daniel.

Even the idea that you have clergy and laity gives further fuel to that fire. I absolutely believe in leadership in the body and the importance of leaders and leaders shepherding the flock and guarding against error and building up and edifying and equipping.

I do believe that some spaceship that the the gift and calling of teaching and and will be more at home studying the Scriptures and apply them. But the bottom line is the letter to the Corinthians was written to the Corinthians. It wasn't written to the clergy and the clergy will tell the Corinthians, what they think they should know know all the New Testament letters to congregations were were written by Paul or John or Jacob James that they were written to the people to read. That is how the other extreme of the correct way over which it been on the road greater program in which basically they do away with any pastoral authority right well I actually frightened Frank is emphasized that the lid is written to believers by Frank would also say that some of the earlier things he said may have may have been expressed in in ways that with maturity to express little bit different because he does believe in leadership in the body and and we talked about these things up, but I do understand that you could get the idea that leaders don't matter at all of the factors leaders play an important role, but everyone is a child of God, of the red skull clergy laity were all children of God were all branches of the vine were all priest to the Lord were all members of the body of Messiah, so there is that equality and then leaders have a role. Important role for the body and for the good of the body of the clergy laity distinction makes it as if you have the holy man no reliable know God is the masses and only a great call Daniel, thank you so much joined Dr. Michael Brown, along with messianic Jewish pastor Scott developed a unique behind the scenes tour of Israel.

Because of limited space and that we are thrilled to make room for you on this trip and based on the trip. We did two years ago I am more excited about this one that I was the first one now that I see how people were impacted and what an amazing good deal. It is for everything that you get packed in on the strip.

866-34-TRUTH back to the phones, Clifford in Rhode Island. Thanks for calling the line of fire will rip 25,000 roughly about so concurrently years I've been doing a great job. Now you get when you get that figure from that wealth, roughly 25,000 movement let let let your listeners you know what I don't like about the show. Dr. Brown is we collect the listeners go out there and look themselves and make up their own minds.

As far as this new messianic Bible and how, not how my not letting people make up their own minds are on. I encourage you not. But we need to see these things get it out there and let the people do some research. They got when you do your research guides you pick yourself up room and he says I hope you will take you long melt, showing the true I want to say one thing, this new messianic Bible. First of all, is it not written in the old Scripture. Yahweh said I will be a new Jerusalem, with the tree box tree.

The great rivers that divide the nation. The oceans on each side. Great mineral wealth shortlists what scripture you quoted quoting from the Old Testament it what what verse to be honest, we don't have it written down 20� Just am still at work trying to do that while trying to talk you on my lunch breaks like Danielle you the Scripture says I will give you new Jerusalem.

Now the great use of Lebanon is a you we can talk about the Scripture that's you, created a verse putting a number of things together so that's why I can't respond to that.

If it's not actually a verse in the Bible to go back great Lebanon places in the world for growing old Lebanon and they grow in northern California and their called sequoias use them up in Lebanon Valley only in one place. United States is the new Jerusalem it's gonna have. It's all I have not had. There is a Scripture anywhere in the Bible it says that and the idea that cedars only. First you made up of verse 11 is now based on a made up verse okay. Not that I will give you new Jerusalem is a sense that is, let's let's let's let's do this, but let's Clifford, let's do this. To be fair once you I make an exception let someone call back within a couple weeks.

I want you to go home. I want you to find the verse you're looking for right were God says in the future he will give a new Jerusalem real time about Revelation 2122, new Jerusalem, coming down from from heaven, option a talk about that because at that point is in the new heavens and the works of us can argue about United States 11 month.

Let's find your verse and then let's demonstrate that cedars only exist in one part of the world and therefore America's nutrition so I am give you time to look up your actual versus and prove your point. When you call back will will let you back on when you have the Bible in front of you.

All right, fair enough. Thanks for holding her lunch break before you do this let's do it fairly okay. We shall see Shelley not retry grab one last call Steve in New York. Welcome to the line of fire. Afternoon Dr. Brown, a about this new version.

Like I'm curious on what category compared a little yes okay it is it if you want to have say the NASB on the right side of a is a more literal translation right and then you will have on the left side.

The NIV is loaded more dynamic the.

The NLT new living translation that that's been a paraphrase. So if you want to have between major translations the. The NASB and the NIV, I would say it's in the middle a little bit towards the NASB and and. In other words, there really was that desire to convey words as opposed to concepts, but you can't you can't do them in the NASB, you can't do that perfectly. Anyway, if you did, it would be obscure that was.

If you went literally from Hebrew and Greek into English it would make no sense of the English word structure and sentence would make no sense, but it's it's a little bit closer reads brightly and sharply to me, it reads much better than the DNA of the NASB, but for example like the firm structure in the Gospels where there is some unusual ways of saying things that's conveyed in English. In that way to to really get you closer to the Greek. In that respect. So I put it I pretty closer like a said it reads more dynamically than the NASB, but to me it it's a C can be more literal than the NIV yeah but I would put it X except to me it it's got a bit more of a dynamic flow than the ESV yes he's wonderful translation, but I'd make it just slightly more dynamic reading, more lively, in my view than the ESV just the way the translators did it but let me just say this closer.

In that regard to the ESV than to the NIV, in my opinion, but not not as far as the actual overall words used because of the messianic flavor and things like that. The entrance of the translation style I civil closer to the ESV than the NIV is as I've been reading through it again looking at it, hate, great question, but I'm at a time.

Got a run of you can excerpt or you can you can look for yourself and get an idea of it by just going to Bible Gateway.com and looking up some of the verses there. But thank you for the question I trends take advantage of this special offer of beautiful slimline leather like edition of the Scriptures, the tree of life messianic Jewish version by team messianic Jewish and Christian scholars first work of its kind, you're the Bible paying the postage to give you a free DVD as well just release now could ask Turkey run a SK dear Brown.Ward my bottom line today.

Let's take he words of Proverbs not to let the word out of our site. Treasury is Junior there were times with the church with penalize those who translated the Bible into lying to the people that people he translated the Bible into English paid for it with their very lives. It's time for the line of fire with your host activist and author, international speaker and theologian Dr. Michael Brown your voice of moral cultural and spiritual revolution Michael Brown is the director of the coalition of conscience and president of fire school of ministry get into the line of fire now by calling 866-34-TRUTH. That's 866-34-TRUTH here again is Dr. Michael Brown bookmarking to broadcast. As we celebrate the Scriptures today.

You realize the leaders of the civil rights movement here in America. They had the Bible in hand or if not in hand. They had the Scriptures on their lips and most of them were referendums were ministers or they may not have all been Orthodox believers in the fullest sense the word but when they quoted Scripture that was their sacred book and in it was by the Scriptures and by the call for justice by the prophets that they challenged the nation to social justice, even though there were Christians in America who quoted the Bible to support slavery. It was those quoting the Bible write back and laying out the larger principles of Scripture, freedom from captivity and liberation for the slaves that they brought about the abolition movement in England and America from a Christian standpoint using the Bible. The Bible literally transforms society transforms nations 866-34-TRUTH if you have a question today about the Bible about Bible translation. But how reliable are translations about how the manuscripts have been preserved that we do have about different modern translations. I'd love to speak with you and we are celebrating this week the release will be actually in Jerusalem.

The beginning of next week of the new edition of the Baker books tree of life version of the Bible. Baker has embraced this version now they're putting it out in several new additions we found out that the first printing was so exceeded the response. The first printing so exceeded the expectations of Baker that before the book was even formally released before was even formally released they have had to go to a second printing which is extraordinary, 866-348-7884 in the first hour I spoke with Johnny Greenberg and Johnny is the wife of a messianic Jewish leader Congregational leader, messianic Jewish rabbi Catholic background herself. So in essence, married into the messianic Jewish faith some years back. She approached me and I want everyone listening to hear this, please.

I want to but a broader subject or a broader subject.

She approached me about this vision of putting out this family Bible. It was going to have been some additions beautiful graphics that would convey the message of Scripture and it was going to be a new translation and it was going to be a team effort by messianic Jewish and Christian scholars PhD's, others, and what I get involved. The word be interested in helping in to be honest, it seemed so far-fetched. I was in the midst of a crazy busy schedule. Teaching literally all day and going from that to then do radio broadcasts at night and even to spend a few minutes during the lunch break was a lot, but she was so clear about will of course meet with me right� I guess I will can say no to this.

But when she talks my thoughts, Scott's scholars involvement in the right messianic Jewish leaders, but this is this possible is it really possible and I've been amazed to see how God expresses a wonder I said if God is put a dream in your heart.

What's impossible with men is possible with God. If God's provision in your heart and share with you something you're supposed to do if it's really from above, there will be tasks there will be trials there will be challenges, but be assured the sure God will finish what paradigm is Dr. Michael Brown, do you know why people through the centuries have risked their lives to get Bible into closed areas general why people would risk their lives in decades past smuggling Bibles into China getting Bibles into places in the world where they were outlawed. I think of it, how many books are outlawed by nations. How many books are banned, how many considered that dangerous will the Bible is the top of the list for band books because it is so life-changing because it exposes the corrupt establishment because it brings people into allegiance to God. Even more than to their government that is considered treasonous and dangerous because it shines the light. Therefore, the darkness gets exposed. This is Michael Brown.

We are celebrating the power the nation changing power of the word of God today and at. You might say with everything going on in society around us was more concerned about terrorist attacks and with the craziness of the elections in all of this was about the Bible. Yup yup. Number one, this is not conservative talk radio not talking politics every day were social issues every day. All of these things will come up frequently. We are Bible based this is Christian talk radio. That's one thing but the other thing is God's word has the answer God's word has the answer for financial issues God's word has the answer for societal issues for family issues for individual issues. If you're battling addiction. If you're on the verge of divorce if you got out of control kid if your finances are a mess. There is wisdom in the word, and above all, the word can show you how to have relationship with the God who made you and who rules the universe and with his help. All things are possible, but you've got to get into the word that the famous Keith Green song you love the world and you're avoiding me with the Lord speaking to Keith Green. I've heard that that has some of the lyrics replay in my mind. Many times my word sits there upon your desperate you love your books and magazines.

The best you love the world and you're avoiding me the estimate you can hear them singing that playing his piano. That's a message for many of us, we have the Bible in so many translations we have some sometimes stacks of Bibles. It's it's available everywhere, and yet we many ways are less literate in the Bible than past generations.

The younger generation is very much alliterative Scripture in the church you got the serious ones young people that are more serious than past generations many ways with the nonserious outnumber them greatly. Listen to the to Proverbs to the wisdom of Proverbs chapter 4 universe 20. My son, pay attention to my words.

Listen closely to my sayings don't lose sight of them keep them within your heart, for they are life to those who find them, and health to one's whole body while I I liken this to you are in an expensive antique shop. Everything in the shop is $5000 and more in value much of it old and fragile.

Some of it almost priceless behind glass.

You can just look at it and you have with you. Your three-year-old nephew. He is full of life, full of energy, full of curiosity. He doesn't walk he runs he doesn't touch. He grabs and and maybe your sister says to you, listen, I need you to keep a careful eye on him in this shop. I've got to figure out which item I'm getting for for our museum and I need you to watch him like a hawk. Don't let him out of your site with a mean if you had to be in that store with a kid but with that meat. That would mean you that your only focus is him.

That's the only thing you're paying attention to. That's the only thing you're looking at it that that boy that boy, and you will your eye is on him like a hawk and you probably just got your hand on his shoulder and maybe some of her hostility should be nice because if he starts mess of the stuff that could cost tens of thousands of dollars you break you pay, let's read this again. My son, pay attention to my words. Listen closely to my sayings don't let them out of your site. Keep them within your heart for their life to those who find them, and health to one's whole body I'm exhorting me as I'm exhorting you.

Let's not get so familiar with the Scriptures that we don't love and devour the scriptures.

Let's not get so familiar with the Bible that we don't cherish the words. Let me read to you. Jeremiah chapter 15 and verse 16 from the tree of life addition the beautiful new slimline addition that I'm holding in my hands as I read and by the way this this goes by the Hebrew order of the Scriptures when Jesus in math. In Luke 24 speaks of everything that was written about him in the law and the prophets in the Psalms of Cheraw. The prophets in the Psalms is talking in all likelihood about the threefold division of the Scripture to run the VM could to beam Tarawa which is the five books of Moses, that the teaching the law of God VM which is the prophets, but in the.

The Hebrew order. The prophets are Joshua, Judges, first and second Samuel, first and second Kings, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, the historical books that I mentioned were considered to be written by prophets and in the last division called to beam that's the rest of the writings. The rest of the Hebrew Scriptures so the historical books like like first and second Chronicles Ezra Nehemiah are in their other books like Daniel at the 12 minor prophets. Of course they're part of the profits of Isaiah, Jeremiah Siegel told by prophets and then the rest or in the writings so books like Ecclesiastes and Psalms and Proverbs and Job there there all day or so. This follows the Hebrew division so it's it's also give you different way of reading the Bible through coverts it to cover so Jeremiah 1516. Your words were found, so I ate them. Your words were a delight to me and the joy of my heart for I'm called by your name. Adonai will hates follows, which is Lord God of hosts, so finding the word devouring the work I've been praying in my own life for a greater love for the word it in the earliest years of being a believer. There was a time when I was so hungry for the word that I would memorize 20 verses every single day. God help me to do that without missing a beat for for six months. In addition to that, to two read the Bible two hours a day and additions that I would pray for hours and even though I love the word I'm teaching for the word preaching from the wording in writing commentaries and always in the word, there's another sensor. I feel like now there's a love for the word scant which really can't wait to devour and sometimes getting a brand-new translation is the best way to do that so something very, very interesting. We talk about Jewish roots and understanding our connection to the Jewish Messiah and the Jewish apostles in the Jewish Scriptures.

I'm a Jew, mostly listening or Gentiles, and yet were one in Jesus were one Yeshua, and in that sense we have common roots. I recall the last hour who sue a very strange interpretation of the Scriptures and some misinformation about some particular trees concluded that America is the new Israel, the new Jerusalem, and there is no possible way if you understood the Jewish roots of the faith. If you understood that the Messiah Jesus, who ascended from the Mount of olives and Jerusalem is coming back to the Mount of olives in Jerusalem. According to Zechariah 14 and according to ask the first chapter as he ascended, he will descend to that same place and that all the nations of the world. At the end of the age will come against Jerusalem again. Zechariah 12 Zechariah 14 is Jerusalem becomes the city of controversy for the whole world in the place against which the world expresses its animosity went when you understand that a Jewish Jerusalem is welcoming back a Jewish Messiah, you cannot then with any stretch of the imagination say all yeah that's America West California no no is no possible way you could do that because the roots are down properly. You are not going to get so far off the branch that you fall off the tree because you will be rightly connected through the roots and rightly grafted into the tree in a solid way a translation, like the tree of life version helps in many many ways fact I give an example from the book of Jacob, we come back to Jacob. Jacob Rieke joined Dr. Michael Brown, along with messianic Jewish pastor Scott multiframe unique behind the scenes tour of Israel.

The line of fire with your host Dr. Michael Brown voice of more cultural and spiritual revolution. Here again is Dr. Michael Brown now joined in Israel next year.

We got a great responses announced trip so just just thrilled to have you come along with us and you will be doing some live broadcast from Israel as well gullible you get to sit in on those that will be nighttime at the end of of a great day together 8663 for 87884 is our number all right.

I will read from Lexi HS ESP. This is a great translation. The Holman Christian standard Bible James 11 James slave of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ to the 12 tribes in the dispersion greetings right that's that's the HCS BO let's see it's read from the ESV just about identical. NIV James a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ to the 12 tribes scattered among the nations NET from James slave of God, the Lord Jesus Christ to the 12 tribes dispersed abroad.

King James's which are scattered abroad now to read from Jacob 11 say Jacob right right that's the Greek way of St. James. So if you really from the tree of life version is out of my hand. It's as Jacob (James Jacob, a slave of God and of the Lord Yeshua the Messiah. So the more Jewish decibel. Jacob was a Jewish believer writing to the Jews to the 12 tribes of the Diaspora, shalom.

What's the Diaspora. The Diaspora is the technical way of referring to Jews in exile so not just to scattered abroad. The 12 tribes scattered abroad, which some say that's the spiritual Israelites. The church's category does not written to the church as a whole is written to Jewish believers who scattered around the world, but the same way that the Corinthians is written to Corinthians right in Romans and Romans and Galatians was written to Galatians Winterson, who was written to and from their we make application to our allies in essence it's for all of us written to a particular audience of Jacob was written to Jewish believers scattered around the world. It's for all of us but starts with that particular audience from once we make application that's when he talks about the tour as much as he does so here we go.

Jacob, a slave of God of the Lord Yeshua the Messiah to the 12 tribes in the Diaspora so the Jewish people scattered around the world.

Shalom that that would be the equivalent of that. So you say peace or or greetings shalom three said now let's let's go to old.

Let's see, let's go to chapter 2 all right and I'll read say from the new King James in chapter 2 my brethren, do not hold the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, with partiality for Fisher come into your assembly.

A man with gold rings and fine apparel.

There should also come in a poor man in filthy closing goes on those if there should come into your assembly will now read it in the second chapter from Jacob and the tree of life version brothers and sisters do not hold the faith of our glorious Lord Yeshua the Messiah was showing favoritism for female of the gold ring and fine clothes comes into your synagogue on synagogue exorcist Greek � if a man with a gold ring and fine clothes comes into your synagogue. That's a reason the Greek state ticket revival music.

In fact, that's the same word translated synagogue throughout the New Testament issue would go to the synagogue on the Sabbath. This customers all go and preach to the synagogue even Revelation 2 and three. These derogatory comments about being a synagogue of Satan because we Jews are not your synagogue of Satan, synagogue, same word, here's a similar why is it that are our Christian translationssynagogue select King James says assembly new King James assembly HCS B meeting ESV assembly NIV meeting NET assembly MLT meeting. Why doesn't it say synagogue wise and on the complete Jewish Bible and tree of life. That's a synagogue because the idea would be to other Christians, and Christians all go to synagogue know these are Jews who believe in Yeshua the Messiah and the place they gather is called synagogue that was a gathering place for Jews interesting is that what now let's let's go to the fifth chapter.

I let's go. In fact, that this read further down in the second chapter. And Paul says Jacob says this if you really fulfill the royal law according to the Scripture shall love your neighbor as yourself.

You do well.

The official partiality commits and are convicted by the law as transgressors.

For whoever shall keep the whole law and yet stumble in one point is guilty of all.

And listen to it in the tree of life, says this. If however you fulfill the royal law according to the Scripture shall love your neighbor as yourself. You do well, but if you show favoritism, you're committing sin are convicted by the Torah as transgressors. For whoever keeps the whole Torah but stumbles in one point has become guilty will never these Jews is writing to.

So there quite conversant when he speaks of the tour. What he's speaking about will now we get to the fifth chapter and we listen to different translations 514 James in our normal use translations. Jacob and the tree of life version and the complete Jewish Bible is a new sick among you little call for the elders of the church that sodas King James. You can James others of the church like every other translation from the church church church church church church church. Well, hang on, let's look at it in the tree of life version is a turn the pages to get there. Tree of life version verse 14 is anyone among you sick little call for the elders of Messiah's community was as a church because that's not the right way to translate Clay seah because in English that can refer to the building is not referring to the building is referring to the people and we say church we think Christian you nothing but you church to stucco church, Sigma, synagogue, right before Jews go to the temple Jews go to synagogue Delco church Christians or church muscles or mosques Jesus synagogue, but here we saw that he says the new place called the synagogue what in-service interviews would go and call for the elders of Messiah's community. That's what necklace he means not church were could refer to a building, but it is the people call for the elders of the congregation. The elders of the messianic community and they will pray for C makes a difference and it reminds you of the Jewish rigidness of our faith. And it gets past. Later Christian culture and tradition which can sometimes separate us from that. So when you read this yourself really edified.

You can be built up, the lights going to go on, just as reading Scripture you make connections you'll you'll feel the direct connection of yourself back to the Jewish Messiah in the Jewish Scriptures as one grafted in, and you find to be a wonderful lively version of beautiful new leather like slimline addition. Now put out by Baker books. It's beautiful. Trust me to be amazed at it. It's a great deal of pain. The postage giving you a free DVD when you order go to*friend asked faith around the Lord. It's the line of fire with your host activist, author, international speaker and theologian Dr. Michael Brown voice of more cultural and spiritual revolution get into the line of fire now by calling 66343 here again is Dr. Michael Brown welcome welcome to the line of fire. Each beginning of next week in in Jerusalem there will be a special meeting where the new Baker books edition of the tree of life messianic Jewish version of the Scriptures will be released. It'll be a special celebration time so we are excited to have the Bibles to make them available. The preorders were so big that Baker had to go to a second printing before the Bible was actually officially released so undertake questions today. If you have them on on the Bible Bible translation how we got our translations. Reliability of translations, preservation of manuscripts. Those kinds of things are glad, glad to take some calls on that 866-34-TRUTH 7884 or earlier in the broadcast. In our first half-hour of these two hours on the year I talked about how men like William Tyndale and John Wycliffe were hunted like criminals and criminals even paid with their own lives to get the Bible translated into the language of the people, because often the church had suppressed that the church had suppressed that so that your average person. Many couldn't read those who could read did not have a Bible translation that they could read, because why well.

People make too many mistakes they can interpret it for themselves.

Where's God wanted everyone to have a guess their leaders and teachers in the body because you go to any good congregation. Any good church and when the leaders up there. They want you to be looking things up in your Bible, or they want to be looking at the Scriptures when they go home they don't want you just take their words for it, and in many churches is the custom make sure you bring your Bible with you. In fact, it's a shame that in some churches emphasize bring your Bible with you and then there are these the Scriptures, all sermon that's a shame and and if we could dive in the word and bury our heads and hearts in the word and then meet with God and live this out man, we'd be changed in the world around us would be change in that sense there is no more revolutionary book that's ever been written than the Bible. All right. One important news item I want to share one important news item. There is a meeting today of black pastors and faith leaders so African-American pastors and faith leaders in North Carolina addressing what they say the offensive and false civil rights comparison made by the Obama administration a nearly 50 pastors and faith leaders, many of which four, many from the black faith communities to shoulder to shoulder on the south side of the capital building to address the Obama administration's offensive and false claims that allowing man to enter women, showers and locker rooms are somehow akin to the very real struggles during the civil rights movements in the 1960s and this was a gathering put together by the North Carolina values coalition speakers included Bishop Dr. Patrick would maybe some of you listening right now on some of her great stations in Raleigh. Maybe you were there at that rally a Clarence Henderson civil rights leader, chairman of the Gov.'s commission on civil rights participated in the war sitting Greensboro, North Carolina 1960, while Dr. Gabriel Rogers, personal friend, senior pastor, can a Christian church in Charlotte Dr. Leung threat senior pastor Christian Faith assembly.

Charlotte the Z�rich and Kenneth a Pastor Kenneth a Fontenot and Pastor Oldman Oldman Thorton, preacher, pastor Thorton Raleigh couple years back of these are all common African-American leaders, all saying to the Obama administration don't don't compare a memo which is a ladies room with civil rights movement don't tell us transgender is the new black wheat we have compassion on the struggle but don't tell us transgender's new black bishop would consider this the language of civil rights shouldn't be hijacked to get privileges.

Choose a politically vocal while taking away freedoms from people disfavored by government. Great quotes here. Well said right back here on the line of fire with your host Dr. Michael Brown voice of more cultural and spiritual revolution. Here again is Dr. Michael Brown documented God celebrating God on the broadcast talk about how civil rights leaders had the Bible are on their lips as they call for justice and equality how the abolitionist fighting and slavery had the Bible on their lips as they call for justice and equality, and we've seen in recent years, a fresh new attack on the fundamentals of the Scriptures. Number one that there is a God that God exists and created everything that is under attack by the new atheists and others. The idea of creation. Intelligent design keeps coming under attack, despite increasing scientific evidence and then the apex of creation, the their culmination of God's handiwork. God creates human beings in his own image. Therefore, every individual has value for the baby in the womb to the old and frail, because were all committed created in God's image and God created us male and female, and there is an all out war on that even on gender distinctions. It's a fundamental war on fundamental biblical foundations. I've written a few articles about that in the last few days go to stream.org for some of my recent articles addressing this war on gender is always my joy to welcome James Robison to the broadcast. James how you doing today on our doctors there maybe others understand that doing good about this program all right good yeah I just got over some attacks in the last few weeks here all right this war on gender.

Are we missing something if we kind of focus on just okay. The Obama administration and the edict about schools and bathrooms is is there a larger war going on that it's against the very fundamentals of God's ordering creation that are currently Herbert nitric nitric Lager nature audit about human sexuality and sexuality across the board biologically and we are now testing. That aside, and we are making an enemy target out of anyone who still believes majors loudly to start a real word of God reveals it's not a matter. As you continue emphasize about loving people who might be challenge confused or held captive habitats or desires or feelings.

I may not understand it all up various challenges our lives. We would like to find some kind of escape from the reality by justifying it as being absolutely normal and acceptable when in fact we know our heart biblically that certain desires and practices and appetites that we give into are simply not healthy and they are against the word of God and the little dog. They're not best for us. I think we got a lot of people are confused a lot of people who are are addicted to composer appetites or desires are unhealthy attractions whether that be heterosexual or homosexual, and if you are that is something that God says we need to recognize and deal with will change the truth in July and then be given over to what seems to be a parent today record right minds what you can even legitimately seem to determine right from wrong, good from evil, light from dark to mentor most of our nation. Seems we headed right now just headlong into a very real manifestation of the property yeah were at the point now where if you want to be famous you release a sex tape if you think in a generation past. If such a thing was released that that person would never go out in public again date they hang their head in shame. They wouldn't anyone would want anyone to know who they were. Today that's that's the path to fame and and start them in lasting recognition. James, if we speak about, though the Bible and sexuality is, is the Bible out of date is the Bible somehow Puritanical and unrealistic in its view of sexuality only if you took some extreme legislative radical deer were some religious groups like children, extreme or particular point that nullifies grace or forgiveness and and try to keep shame on people continually when they're actually trying to escape what brought Sherry and be separate from it to continue to strain that would certainly be appropriate. Some people my product just about that by quoting Scripture and justifying very un-Christlike actions and that is simply not the case. I think it people only recognize that we are all week.

We are weak but he is strong. We have weaknesses.

But when a person does not recognize that weakness does falling short of the standard of the appropriate measure and make cash. That aside, that's when you step over into the realm of wickedness when you have not been perceived or defeated by people, but you have now sold out. The evil which is ultimate Setanta expression which Lucifer course found himself in and that's what many people today are nomination. They are literally committing themselves to wickedness as much is the drug plays off the weaknesses of others and he and his wickedness plays on the weakness of others who desperately need help in many would not like to be held captive evil wards commit to evil the promotional evil Donald the discarding of truth, but the assault against Kurt against all that is right, righteous, correct sound and spiteful art. So let's let's look at this. The flesh wants to do certain things you have to discipline yourself to overeat. You don't have to discipline yourself to sleep late. That's just what the flesh wants to do and yet if we just indulge the flesh.

I'm to be totally free. I would do whatever I want to do.

Whether it's sex whether it's drugs, whether it's drinking but it's possessions will do whatever wanted to only be totally free. The Bible tells us that that's actually not freedom that's bondage. So God's way of speaking of discipline and moderation. That's the way to freedom. When you do with the world's way and do whatever in the world you want. That's the way of bondage or you have an idle power. Very clear. You become sure demonic powers are built for people who worship sports money six shares her transient popularity. If you have an eye something that is captured your heart. You are vulnerable to all manner of perception and demonic activity, and many people live their life, even many who profess Christ are tormented by demonic activity because some of them have even might've idle out of particular religious belief that my unit shall actually be a tradition of man, not impact the command of God. If we have I we become Sheriff Paul says that you can see the activity very demonic expressions.

People just read the comments against the things that you cite better sooner than in the word of God, and you can tell it's like the minimum site is spewing out to their opinion in the comments is filed. Expressions of animosity sometimes tired of a letter masquerade as a very slight person depending the Scripture when in fact they are actually denying the Scripture so they can see and defeat yeah I I noticed a comment someone posted when I was addressing some of these issues on YouTube and they use the screen name Lucifer, Beelzebub, how ironic is it Mr. Brown is said he is delusional as police.

He exchanged Karen for religion. Both are ways of avoiding living in reality this is very sad. So when the devil is attacking you know you're doing the right thing. Hate James one more question, just a switch subjects you know the big gathering maybe 500 evangelical leaders with Donald Trump next month to find out talk with him in more depth about what he believes. I know you've had one-on-one time with him. I did get an invitation, but I'll be in Australia how you feel about that you think this is a good move for these leaders to sit down with Donald Trump and probe and ask questions. Is this just to set up to be told what they want to hear that quickly, because Joseph did not counsel a most godly person himself.

Certainly Daniel at Fort Kings or were anything but ideal and all of the profits, both major and minor aggressive not only the nation of site also wicked kings and people outside regardless of what they look like a Mr. Trump, God loves them I love them a letter spam ramp right arm.

I love everyone, truth and love our optimized athlete begin to open the door. The sound want to hear the concerns of these leaders and he should and must and we must be faithful to deliver them, but deliver them in love and hopefully they will have a profound positive impact on very positive.

It is my prayer that they will. I would say this, whoever the leader is in this nation. It was Mr. Trump or someone else to be honest with you the other side seams of soda very anti-God anti-biblical ever-increasing overpowering federal government. Another form Switzerland is open the door to say I want to hear what's on your heart, your concerns, I would say this if he is not positive and profoundly affected by the concerns and beliefs of those people go to MAPI, then I do not think he will succeed even if you selected overwhelming. He's going to have to receive gladly the wisdom that comes from above is unhappily willing to listen and learn from people who genuinely love you love the truth love and understand freedom and who will tell him the truth no matter what the cost is.

The Northstar is psychologist, former professor who was written about the Jewishness of Jesus, and he was greatly impacted by debates have had with Rabbi Shirley bottega in New York City that he attended he's been on the show with us a few times. He's read my book, the real kosher Jesus does he believe Jesus is the Messiah or not he's never tipped his hand and told us outwardly by these written articles, brilliant articles, insightful articles as to the Jewish roots of the faith in the Jewishness of Jesus and how that was often of very much lost in translation and are in conception through church history, and he's got an article the transformation of the Virgin Mary, how a Jewish girl from Nazareth became a Christian icon now. You never would have had this transformation in whatever negative sense.

It's happened and to whatever degree it's detached Mary Marion from her Jewish roots never would've had this happen if all the translations like the tree of life version through history so to read to you a fluke. Chapter 1 verse 26 he ready then, in the six month the angel Gabriel was sent by Adonai into a town in the Galilee, etc. so Adonai is the Hebrew word for Lord and it's saying that you were presuming the Hebrew Jewish concept of Lord in Greek is incurious.

That's what were assuming services Adonai then the six month the angel Gabriel was sent by line to a town in the galley: Sarah I give the Hebrew name just just remind you that is, it is a Jewish village Jewish community to a virgin engaged to a man named Joseph of the house of David.

The virgin virgin's name was Miriam doesn't say Mary know because in Hebron there was Mary it comes to us through Greek into English ultimately is Mary which is fine but her name was Miriam.

And when you get back to Miriam.

Suddenly the whole story sounds different doesn't and coming to her. The angel said shalom favored one Adonai is with you. Think of having. This is the Bob your reading it suddenly reattach as you the things you have been detached from it was great to preach from the pulpit for any pastor or leader, but at the message she was perplexed and kept wondering what kind of greeting this might be the angel smoked or do not be afraid, Marion, you found favor with God. Behold, you become pregnant give birth to a son, you shall call his name Yeshua was his name supposed to Jesus, which is how it comes to us in escrow in Greek, which is fine in English for just this member. He's Yeshua. He will be great will be called. Then I'll yawn Adonai Elohim will give him the throne of David his father. So Ben I'll yawn some of the most high. Allow him the Lord God will give him the throne of David his father, he shall reign over the house of Jacob for all eternity and his kingdom will be without in Marion said to the angel, how can this be, since I'm not intimate with a man and respond in the angel sets with the rococo dish will come upon you the Holy Spirit will come upon you and the power failure own most high will overshadow you there for the holy one being born will be called than Elohim son of God, the Olevia relative Elizabeth is conceived a son in her old age and one who was called barren six months pregnant for nothing will be impossible with God's mercy. Behold, the servant Yvonne and I let it be done to me according to your word and the angel left her average nicely. Doesn't it so I I'm encouraging everyone me included, to renew your devotion to the word deceit coming forward to reading the Bible all really differently. Read it out loud.

Can you like to the eyes, the fear of Adonai's clean, enduring forever. The judgments of Adonai are true and all together righteous yeah beautiful read get hold of this translation Baker books is now taken on this translation for distribution for further many Bibles that they put out, and they've they produce it in different editions but the one that's my favorite is this beautiful leather like slimline of its mixed color on the front.
