The following program is recorded content created by the Truth Network.

Phone lines are open you got questions, we've got answers stage for the line of fire with your host activist all the international speaker and theologian Dr. Michael Brown your voice of moral cultural and spiritual revolution Michael Brown was the director of the coalition of conscience have the president of the fire school of Ministry of the line of fire valves by calling 866-34-TRUTH. That's 866-34-TRUTH. Your job is Dr. Michael Brown thanks for joining us on this Friday when I'm try voice three go thanks for joining us on this Friday you got questions, we've got answers my delight to get to as many of your questions as I can 866-34-TRUTH 866-34-TRUTH 87884 just tuning in different with me on something or need clarification.

As long as it relates to any of the subject matter. We cover on the line of fire.

By all means give us a call and please friends take a moment to read my latest article on screen.org runner website Esther to Brown.org about an absolute outrage in Canada, father of 14-year-old girl who objects to her transitioning hormone supplement sex change surgery in the years ahead. He's been put in jail. He is in jail. Why because he referred to his daughter as his daughter as she is in in jail for that.

Read the article is not more shocking, grievous, so was it Esther to Brown.org or screen.org okay with that.

We go to the phones. Let's start with Steve in central Connecticut welcome to the line of fire. Every product thank you sir somewhat of a hard article but I know nothing can be added or taken away from Scripture, but in light of the recent findings of the fragments of that role have trouble understanding that we hold all dreading the level that we do if stomach is known to be missing letters to either the Caribbean or Asians were to be discovered. How would those not be held at the same level as the rest of the writing rights of the very reason that they're not in the Bible. It was those not lost letters in Paul's day is not does not lost letters in it, or completely lost in circulation and when he mentions writing to two in Philippians, Colossians, with the slogan on here is the letter to the Laodiceans that I wrote etc. and letters of apparently a first literature to the Corinthians. Before first Corinthians of those were not lost letters but those were not chosen God's providence is not that everything that Paul wrote was at the level of Scripture is not that every word that came to the mouth of the apostles was at the level Scripture or here to take a book like Haggai you got prophecies from a couple of days couple periods of time in his life and that's it. You don't have any of the prophecies as is not that all of the prophecies were lost, but that they were not all considered worthy of being part of Scripture or in God's plan necessary to be part of Scripture. So if if words of Paul were rediscovered in ancient let it be amazing that be incredible. That would be one of the greatest discoveries in in world history, but it would be heading to the Bible because from the start. God providentially did not have it included in the Bible nor did the early Christians. It will how comes. This is not the Bible and we don't have any evidence of any the early church leaders symbol what in this park include one that Park included. Once the scriptures were being canonized so as to discover recognition that certain things stood out were certain things recognizes Scripture and others of his warrant and in we accept that but again it would be even so, looking at Dead Sea Scrolls are some of these recent findings. Even then not finding new Scripture just fighting new texts or other other ancient texts with the same versus the same words or maybe there's a word variance here and there, but it's not like for example you have a Psalm 151 discovered from Robert.

You really had that Septuagint in the Septuagint Canada ready had one extra sobs.

You could debate whether that should be part of the Bible or not, or the latest variant from Zechariah 816 and 17 that was just discovered. So maybe for about 100 years before the time of Jesus. That's just as only one word that's different streets versus Gates was at the same text so it's a fascinating question for sure but that was, that would be my response start our bedroom. Not yet. Yes sir. Sure thing 866-34-TRUTH look we could say the same thing about the Old Testament says this is written in the in this book are that book in the book of you shower something in how comes on the Bible, the providence of God in the plan of God. It wasn't meant to be and that's what we don't have it as part of Scripture let's go to Kathy in St. Louis, Missouri.

Welcome to the line of fire. My question about traditional burial cremation. I don't think I'd where Scripture speak on it.

Christian feel that being respectful to God about the body given at to cremate them and I was wondering do you have an opinion care to give about it yet surely number one in Scripture, there was caretaking for the dead and the dead were buried to me. That was the custom that that we know that the dead were buried, and that this was considered to be an honorable and white thing, it would be for example a terrible judgment in a terrible shame if God said as a result of your sin, your bodies will be exposed to the elements of the birds will will eat your flesh with dogs will devour your flesh. That was the was a judgment so to not be buried was considered to be a terrible dishonor their their instances, really, really one one or two that come to mind where the bones of ancient Israelites were exhumed and then burned. For some reason, not the judgment way. But for some reason and some have said will that would be like cremation but that that's different than right from the start burning the body and and and cremate in the body. In that regard. This this is a little bit different incident. So here is my own opinion. There are relatives of mine who have been cremated, including believers. There are believers I know who say that they want to be cremated and I don't believe that will affect their future resurrection. I do believe that God will negatively judge them for it, but I I don't believe personally. Again, this is not to offend those that the different hero just lost the love of the levels cremated.

Now, it's like I'm stepping on the back. Honestly, I did. I do believe in the preservation of the but we understand if it's if buried over period of time. It will decompose itself.

We understand that some like God can't resurrect the body. This completely decomposed but to me the understanding of honoring the dead and of honoring the bodies of the dead. Even looking forward to future resurrection that it is right and proper to bury and and have a a a funeral service as best as possible but I can't be dogmatic about it. I would not judge someone as I said, to me it's it simply the writing better way to do it and that's why that's been done in Judaism and Christianity and Islam through the centuries but it's it's again it's not to judge those who do order or God forbid to suggest that it affects their afterlife in any way since my own view yeah helped me a lot.

Sure thing you don't, Kathy. I had friends of mine were little track laying out all the reasons against cremation and then another another friend actually written the mini book really with arguments against cremation and I felt the argument strong, but not to the point being dogmatic and again is a set of of relatives who been cremated or plan to be want to be a once they leave this world thank you for the question 866-34-TRUTH solicit for those who are thinking about this moving forward. Cremation versus burial.

They give a thought but can Scripture give a thought. Pray about it. For those for whom this is the rearview mirror. Don't don't let me mess with you in terms of all know what I did that this just before I move forward.

Let's see, let's go over to Sherry in Atlanta, Georgia.

Welcome to modify thanks so much for calling you.

You're welcome old one. Beyond the book you recommended that your brother-in-law will talk about one shadow air had a reinforcement or told you regarding living the literal error the Lord even though I felt very important moment like that and live in fellowship and partly intertwined with how can I know and understand where the comparability of my abusers in and mine began because I have habitual and three particular areas that are really tormenting me and have pretty much my whole life and I feel very guilty for them and I think in my ever going beyond Mascot help me get out me on a pathway of things that I was eight years old also have to mental image that on top of. I just I'm really struggling and where I met with the board right now. Right hand he's tickling. If not, get that back. Please be patient. I assure you I'm I'm so sorry you're going through all this and obviously it was sitting at a distance. My phone is two strangers and an it's difficult for me to know exactly the right words to say at the right moment. So I'm praying for wisdom, even as I as I speak, but I just want encourage everyone it's listening or watching to pray for Sherry to do that especially some of you who been through something similar.

So yes, of course, I would've immediately encourage you to read my son-in-law Masson was book yet yet living loved so that's Ryan Bross. I think it's it's it's so ideal just bathe you in the word what God says about you in the word so for anyone else… Ryan Bross living loved think you funded the life-giving book of I will. I would say I would say this. Sherry first and foremost, renewing your mind by the word of God and just bathing yourself what God says in his nature and in reading passages like Psalm 103, over and over and over again. Luke 15 and in Romans five just over and over and over and praying over them and writing them out and putting them before the Lord, asking God to help you to see the truth of his love for you that's that's right would start with just immersing myself just yes in a positive way. Brainwashing washing my brain with the truth of the word and then the second thing is is that there are whatever responsibilities others have in your life that you have to give account to God for that. You have to free them and release them in the know, wherever you are, God can help you.

Someone may have pointed in a certain direction, but you're responsible adult. I can help you from here.

I would look to get godly professional counseling and and sit down with people who are gifted or anointed III will recommend every Christian.

Even though sponsoring these ways gets at some point in your life to dig deeper look into groups like restoring the foundations and others that I think the sort through things of the past, restoring the foundations.

You may want to look into that Lord. The pre-help Sherry reveal the depth of your love for her. The line of fire with your host Dr. Michael Brown voice of moral cultural and spiritual revolution. Here again is Dr. Michael Brown high Springs for 166 is the number to call you got questions, we've got answers. Let's go over to Kevin in Moreno Valley, California. Welcome to the line of fire. Hi Dr. Brown Burdick.

My question sure thing so I wanted to ask you because you know I I have been our date yet look something gate. One of them that you do want to talk about it saying that the Bible add corruption until you are but at first John Piper word on enough Timothy stating that the evidence that the Bible has been corrupted. What would be what I want in active house shall be due for another mother is so let me first address the larger issue of the Bible being corrupted and then specifically first on 57 and I think your first Timothy 316 so it's it's quite the opposite in terms of bubble being corrupted what it is is we have so much evidence the Bible is been so well preserved. We have so many thousands of manuscripts that were going to have variance among them and use the signs call textual criticism to sort through all the manuscripts and then decide which is the most accurate reading.

So look at it like this.

The reason that we don't have as much dispute about wording in the Quran is because early in the in the early decades of chronic development when there are so many different manuscripts and traditions and complete textual variants that basically authorities gathered together all the variants burned up and just left one or if you go to, you know ancient history.

You know what we know about Caesar, or where the Iliad and the Odyssey and things, the reason we don't have so many textual discussions is because we hardly have any manuscripts. So I asked the person what would you rather have two copies of the Declaration of Independence independence that were copies of copies of copies and they were written about 1850 and there exactly the same or 4000 copies of the Declaration of Independence that were written within the first 20 years of its existence, but they have a lot of little variance between them which situation would you rather have, which would make you feel more confident of the accuracy and historicity. Antiquity of the text. This is obviously the second one is that you can sort through them since that's over there. We have so many manuscripts we have so much evidence that we can then sift through to see was really there.

So first on 57. There are three that bear record in heaven. The father before the Holy Ghost, and these three are one. Those do not occur in a single ancient Greek manuscript anywhere in the world. Gone.

It's a later variant.

You don't even have an ancient Latin manuscripts in the history of it getting adding unit is is really five, 600 years old before it's added into the Greek text that anyone thought had authority, such as out. There's not even debate dispute about that is is gone.

It's it is it is something that became famous in the King James but in point of fact, if you go back to all the early manuscripts. It isn't there. So that's just something that happens we can James. Now here's everything it's an absolute harmony with rest of Scripture. It is something false about it. It's it's not like it had George Washington, Joe Biden and Donald Trump in the manuscript. Like how could that be in Bible they don't know it's not design false about it. It's just not an original.

So that's one thing. First Timothy 316 is is maturely the way this is a God was manifest in the flesh or he was manifest in the fuzz pulse and greatest mystery of godliness is was talking about right.

And that explains this mystery about God, about his nature. He was manifest in the flesh, or God was manifested for us to send the same thing and either way, we don't just rely on adverse reproof. So this is a matter of scholars will evaluate it. They will look at all the variants still see which are the earliest. It's a science you just just ask him who do you trust the science of geology to trust the science of archaeology were people dig through ruins and this is all here for example, let's say you're digging through is called a tell.

So in the in the ancient reasons like this to keep a mound. This looks like nothing start to dig most other ancient civilizations here sick.

Is it the top layer that dates from 600 years ago. The next layer down that's from 7 to 900 years ago and then the next layer down is is from a thousand to 14 years ago and the light lay in ruins for hundred years the midst of it and then you find pieces of pottery in each level and and as you find this piece of pottery.

It's like you know this one is from 500 years later, but it must've slid down a little bit.

You can even figure these things out it's it's not a mystery@same thing with textual variants. You can see how a scribe must copy something Howard variant came in. You can see sometimes what part of the world.

The manuscript came from where things came in, etc. so in it's a science and that's why you have such overwhelming harmony between different Bible versions in any of the differences will be beyond minor overall design a single major doctoral point that's in debate over any of these things then you and in short, the Bible is the best preserved book from the ancient world, hands down. Nothing else even close to so you have confidence with that. Hey, thank you for the call appreciate 866-34-TRUTH hate lease of the book that I mentioned on the air, but my son-in-law Ryan Bruss pure USS living loved its rich scripturally based book that will bless you living loved by Ryan Bruss. All right, we got a phone line open, which is rare on a Friday great time to call in a let us go to Nick in Philadelphia well into the line of fire. Nick, thank you Dr. Robert one day out what diagram I read and I just got covered you go walking your debate and everything. Like all thank you Jackie up and although I did not people question about name and now I feel like I'm the surgeon's original menu. Sheila will worship music.

Right now there are very prominent. All were distinctive name over and over. Use you, and I was wondering if you'd be as well.

The bad part. What's going on right now men are like what is IJ you want. I've heard messianic Jews. They mainly got corrupted.

Why you were to anagram acronym for native baby name blotted out.

Rev. Outlook or break Stressing interesting so let's let's talk about the second thing first. It's not easy issue issue so short for Yeshua. Yes, you. That's how Jesus if he's referenced in the Talmud. That's how his name is referenced issue rather than Yeshua and if you read later rabbinic literature of his name is the issue.

If you're in Israel today. That's how rabbits really would know him issue now in many Orthodox ultra-Orthodox circles, especially those with the most negative views towards Jesus issue also stands for the Marcia Mulvey Crow as he croaks easement you mock from overseas Crow. May his name and memory be obliterated, so there are religious Jews when they see issue that that's what they mean by May his name in memory be obliterated when the average Israeli says that this is the name they've they know and by so you say is there is there any accuracy to the name. There is a linguistic argument that the the additive of Yeshua with them. Ryan got shortened so as Yeshua yeah sure. And then just stopped issue.

There's a linguistic argument for than those that initially nothing evil was meant by but once it was spelled the way it was spelled. Then it became an acronym for Ms. name in memory be obliterated, others would say from day one.

That was the intent. It was negative intent.

Either way, the proper pronunciation is issue and that's what you try to introduce Israeli still like what issue that salvation Yeshua that's his name, he issue that's the way they know him and you can get confusing. That being said, as far as the resurgence of the name. Whether this is been happening for a few decades in different ways with messianic use. Referring to Jesus as Yeshua and Jews for Jesus helping people know his name is Yeshua just to help Jewish people write essays, one of us sees that's not some foreign entity, the God of the Catholic Church or the God of the Gentiles.

These is one of us is Jewish. Obviously, sings, and this is part of it. On the one hand, in English we say Jesus just like in in his Spanish speaking to Jesus or in Italy, CJ, Sue, so for most English speakers is always good to be Jesus, which is great find that so we relate to him but to the extent that Yeshua is seen in something beautiful and something that people can use to better relate to the fact that he is a rabbi, the lion of the tribe of Judah, as is how he will return and that is Jewish, beautiful, and I don't see it necessarily is tied in with a prophecy which is the church goodbye reconnecting with Jewish roots. The idea that someone would have the check to save a certain way for Taft power.

That's nonsense is not the put the powers not the pronunciation the powers of the person said again the powers not the pronunciation the powers and the person is knowing who he is invoking his authority is what matters is folks relate to misuse your wonderful helps recover Jewish roots and break away from some of the wrong ways of thinking, hey appreciate the call very much 866-34-TRUTH hey listen friends 45 minutes from now.

That's it. 45 minutes room. That's 415 Eastern time will be right back on our YouTube channel*around ask a year-round on just answering questions and because they're so 45 minutes from now join us run*around on YouTube for cleansing and gives the line of fire with your host Dr. Michael Brown get into the line of fire now by calling 866-34-TRUTH here again is Dr. Michael Brown and friends. Fridays will you maybe want you to different day listening to different day. But on Fridays, just open the phones for any call on any subject close relates in some way to the line of fire. Anyway we can be of help to 866-34-TRUTH 8788 force again all questions. All subjects all tone of voice, whatever, whether you agree with me or not. As long as your call relates in some way to subject matter on the line of fire. I truly wish that the, the, the, many people that post hateful, intense comments slamming Austin mocking me is this and that ignorant of this that I wish you call. I would love to have a conversation with is if you're that right then you can really educate me and if as I believe you're that wrong I can educate you, or maybe we could just educate those that are listening and watching. So I always invite those that differ with me to call all right this one put that out again. I've done it hundreds of times and probably gotten less than five responses of people take me up on it but we keep trying. All right 866-34-TRUTH, let's go to go to Frankie but is not there.

All right, let's go to Glenda and Glenda's not there, it did something happen to her for months by any chance everybody everybody there was trauma more here every so often something weird happens.

Let's go to Caleb in Centerville, Tennessee. Thanks: the line of fire early rather hey how you doing very well on.

Thank you all you can about it.

Thank you sir, it's my joy really? Hardware coming back. I had a dream about a week ago by knowledge and witchcraft in our sprinkler Name out of her and then regarded by yesterday. We just found out that she actually had one shot wasn't known to, and pray for healing and and seemed equally ill and all that sort of thing, but I've yet to cast the demon out of England felt stunned and wondering if you get going in the direction finder help me with what the situation was ordered to Caleb first first share with me exactly what your sisters into when you say witchcraft. All we know right now there's another backdoor thing will not.

I don't know a lot of detail in our know it.

Our crystal ball, but taken witchcraft on acting on. I know it like cortical white magic that she's doing and that's one of our know it at the moment yeah and this is increasingly common know even cited a year ago. New York Times article about the rise of the witch, and just things becoming more and more normal or normalized in the culture dish claim to be a follower of Jesus. Now she shall in check. Pregnancy with Craig. Learn to think he would've liked double-dip and and at one time we regarding points are alike in pushing crying that she was backslidden and not whole, she counted out and now. Yeah, right. So first thing is you wrote you will you and put all your focus on praying for her salvation. Pray for repentance and waking up to who God is and forgot to get to that the deepest issues in her life that is standing between her and God. So that's right focus in the witchcraft is dangerous and can open the door to all kinds of other junk but the fact is, she separated from God and she needs the Lord so II would not focus on the witchcraft. I focus on the fact that she's lost and she needs Jesus and pray for God to bring her into repentance and then as you are praying and and you may feel the Lord stirring your harsh and you may feel divine authority issue.

Pray then you can join with the Lord. Father in Jesus name I stand against these demonic forces that you're not driving a demon out of her this just another form of intercession where you are submitting to God and and and you are pushing back against the forces of darkness in her life.

Sometimes that will happen. Pray you feel like a real battle as as as if these things are attacking you in your pushing them back in Jesus name, then the key thing would be.

She really does come to the Lord.

Some people need deliverance. Another star I open myself to every demonic thing I knew how to open myself up to before I was saved when I got saved on I got saved, you know that the other stuff just dropped out of my life, other people really need to to go through some type of ministry or deliverance and that something really were River church plug her into.

She gets ministry there your home church you bring a day or two to get ministry from from elders there to really pray over her and bring it to a place of freedom, but put all the focus on helping her come to Jesus and and let this witchcraft thing be something very secondary. Obviously you had a dream and a warning about see. Pray for her in that regard, but this is just another evidence of her being lost and that's why put the greatest focus.

I would try to personally go over there and have good driver demon out of you, I died really sick to see established in the Lord come to the Lord and they get ministry in that regard. Okay yeah and elicit his last thing any believer walking with Jesus theoretically can can drive demons out right. This is an authority we have in Jesus. And the idea that it stopped while demons are still here. The authority in Jesus didn't stop all authority in heaven and earth is given to him and we going.

His name so believers can drive demons out the some stuff to be a pastor or some religious authority that being said, that being said, if we are not experienced in something that we don't just want to go jumping in without getting prepared and getting equipped because there are real demonic powers and and we can get attacked so it's good to to to know your authority to walk in it to learn to express that authority. And then from there you can minister freedom to others. He, Caleb, your prayers can make a great difference in your sisters life, 866340 we go to Rio in the Woodland Park, Colorado. Welcome to the line of fire.

Thank you, but to be under thanks Dr. Browner recently did I got here a minute.

Really true love your greeting up. From carnal prosperity stuff wanted to say thank you for that shortly coming out of the bill. You and learning a lot and one thing is I heard you say that you believe it's always the unit that you believe in it. We should always take the priest position that it is God's will to kill, but taken a prepared condition edits got loaded kill could be different than necessarily believing it always got what you so I actually had a few brief questions that I wanted at you believe it literally always got political okay yes of the simple answer is God's ideal will. As obedient children is healing and health. As is revealed in Scripture. When everything is best when we are in right relationship with God and under his blessing, we are healed and health.

Nowhere in the Bible is sickness and disease seen as a sign of blessing for an obedient child of God without some of the God's people on the planet are sick. Some of the most spiritual people on the planet are sick so I'm not making a judgment. People are making that general statement so my my default mentality is if I'm introduced to someone that sick, especially a believer.

The person with the newest pray. If this he could pray for my healing. I would say yes rather than well, maybe God wants you sick or perhaps the Lord try to teach you something with the sickness or or maybe you send and that's what you say a mega start there if this is child of God in the start with that presupposition.

So that's that's is always my general outlook based on Scripture and based on the scriptural mandate to pray for the sick that we principles not healed, which happens many times. The question is will do the little dockable water they go to a doctor if it's God's will for them to be sick. If we pray and conclude that God sent the sickness on the why on earth would be disabled. Go with Dr. even if I to encourage them to go to doctors because we believe that health is is is a good thing that could be worse sick because of lifelong unhealthy treatment of her body would been ignorant of it. In other all those other things but even that would point to health and healing being a positive set that's right start.

This remains my default mentality based on the revelation of Scripture demand by government pulchritude that make you better. Yeah, my second my second question is, I've been kind of learning and unlearning conducted recently.

I've kind of changed my mind about professions of faith are used to really be that, but now wondering if it actually New Age know guys I wanted at what your view on right so when you're putting together confessions of faith believing divine healing in the mover for this, prosperity so that that would be found commonly what we call were to face teaching so there's a lot that I find valuable and good that I agree with and others that I find dangerous and wrong and then in some cases heretical teaching that the goat you with bizarre things about the atonement, etc. but so we certainly believe in the blessing of God we believe in generosity we we believe that is we given all of the Lord that it releases blessing in different ways resort reach so there's a lot of truth to what were the face. Teaching says about giving and finances. But the error is that financial wealth is is a sign of spirituality that that the poor cannot truly be blessed and enlist their financially prosperous that Jesus died to make us wealthy. That's the sin of the car prosperity message but we don't throw out the baby with the bathwater. So when it comes to confessions of faith, here's what I agree with you is what I don't agree with. When we are speaking what the word says Murray, declaring what the word of God says about God. We are declaring with the word of God says about us. That's always good. That's healthy is a great strength, so you know if if I say recordings you word and you amen overcome in order to quench your word and you are more than a conqueror. Lord, according to your your word you know and you just go through Scripture specially New Testament Scripture about yourself as a believer and and about who God is.

That's wonderful that's that's speaking the word that speaking truth and the Bible is filled with others speaking the word about themselves or about others, the error would be that we think just by speaking it we create a reality or that if we say anything contrary to that rent unbelief, those suffice it, man. I'm just feeling down to the dumpster. I'm not feeling it today. I'm just there you are. You. You hear you speak and I believe in your existing death office on man I'm in pain noted here, you are healed speak that. That's when it becomes an error when you when you cannot speak about present realities in your own life because you always have me confessing a certain thing that brings bondage, superficiality, and really deception, but when we are gonna speak with the word says is true. Over a self goal for this.

That's a good thing to do and then bring your reality in line with with words. This 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 as friends for joining us on the line of fire. By the way, if you continually post blatant falsehoods on social media, not a difference of opinion but blatant falsehoods under social media accounts and the customer attention and and we we correct them. We delete them and you continue to do it and then seek to back that up with calling him that will work in those we we don't allow people to post lies about others under social media accounts. Once we spot them. If we connect that to someone calling in, you will be welcome, but we love honest debate and dialogue. We love difference of opinion. We welcome it under social media pages. We just request civility so finalists let's differ differ politically differ culturally differ morally different theologically differ biblically, that's fine, but just try to be civil towards us because we don't want to have a platform where literally we reach millions of people on social media every week and we are now providing a platform for hateful, venomous, ugly speech we don't want to do that before the Lord.

Disagreement with me you disagree with me a thousand times a month on social media and social violent event violator guidelines or try to take over thread and put in wrong direction or lie about others who engage in personal tech field. That's fine. We welcome the disagreement. Let's learn from each other and let others interact. That's great. This is new. It was civilian respect and if we see a pattern posting blatant falsehoods lies misinformation.

We try to help people and they won't be help. Then they get blocked we have to draw a line somewhere, and I trust you understand that all right let us go over to Joseph and Rancho Cucamonga, California. Welcome to modifier Dr. Brown.

The agreement that was a noble okay dear believe I buy everything I believe you're right you don't get wrong. Okay blood in the wrong guy bleeding. "Now there were three angels in the birthright correct as best as we can tell, Genesis 6 it speaks of the argument sees me human. Human human problem with it.

I probably have been to be a beak of the human part one. Like that woman yelled get raped they want, yet they want right. So here's the deal that they were they were wiped out that there was no there on the time…… Don't try to make payment. And that's why the human body because there once in the human body, deductive, and an angel. Someone say that the… The demons are fallen angels are not different entity right that I write that would be the view of Dr. Michael Heiser and his demons book that demon spirits are the spirits of of nifty lame so this this mixed breed of Angel and human and and once those were destroyed, that the spirits of those beings are demons. Hey, it's as good an explanation as other users can't be dogmatic because the Bible is a make that the Bible never tells us explicitly were demons came from to say they're not fallen angels you can make that argument right but I'm going to Pontiac right you would like demon water going to play right, center…? You have adequate at the do with the rapture yell at me as I believe what you say day ran with this thing that Margaret McDonnell had that dream Derby another guy took a breath of the dog bite. Certainly I read the subject of testimony of the coming correct of the subject. One.

Rapture birthday was a raptor, but the way you said it – this same Jesus used to group will come back in like manner, the damage already written. There will be resident About people of the Lord correct that what got there already and have right when he comes back to let on about all of the lookup will be transformed at the go by land and amount, all with him and then he got the millennial kingdom up is that correct that some corrective this rapture for one door number two going to be a yes is just a saying there are many fine Christians appreciate you seal my brother there many fine Christians who believe in the pretrip rapture. They believe they see Scripture evidence for the church I came to faith held to that I thought I can argue for it scripturally once I stood back and looked at the word again.

I realize that that I was putting things into a system that the Bible didn't have yes I read it the same way as you are, of course, the departed spirits are still the those that previously died in the Lord waiting for his physical resurrection right so there is there is that aspect of things there physically raised record to meet him in the air and whether whether we blink your eyes are on the Mount of olives. As I understand it, we were caught up and we descended together as as Jesus so he appears for the whole world to see were caught up to meet him and we dissent together with the but yeah I'm with you on that key thing is to have her a position of honor and respect for those that differ because they give you a lot of reason.

Scripturally they believe it. Sincerely to them is important part of theology so we want out. One reason in the scriptural way and say hey let's take a look and see if it's really there. If you don't have my book friends not afraid of the antichrist written without Prof. Craig Keener. He and I wrote the book. Not afraid of the antichrist. Why we don't believe in a pre-tribulation rapture.

I think if wanted to be not only eye-opening scripturally, but super encouraging about overcoming faith in the midst of persecution and opposition. All right, let's go to dog in Salt Lake City, Utah. Welcome to the line of fire.

Dr. Brown, a little bit and I would born and raised in a note and I'll be at home. You know, and I went to church a lot because that's what I was told to do. You do what your current ask of you and as I've gotten older.

You know, I view them and how I feel is changed a little bit and I got friends that are Christian.

I I I find myself like I read a lot about bunch of AutoZone tonight. I find myself listen to the radio on, you know on the way to work or when I'm working you know I'll all looking to know Pastor Greg Laurie and a bunch of you guys in Jakarta want to think I'm having a hard time with just you know from a Christian that I'm wrong about known you know been raised, you know, parts of the Bible were you talking about you and I'll be on the right hand of God and I have and have not yet ascended my father you know that Jesus and God help you know how the father that they are one minded no. One plan met plan for all of it, but how do they get that that's one person. I guess that's why I'm really struggling with the yeah sure what to look for some simply that you listen to her station in Salt Lake City, Utah, and one reason that that Stu Epperson Junior felt so burdensome to launch the Truth Network in Salt Lake City was due to reach of many sincere Mormons that are there and and those who may be listening right now so the first thing is that the Bible explicitly says in different passages that Jesus himself is God.

For example, after his resurrection in John 2028. Thomas says to him, my Lord and my God and John 11 tells us that in the beginning was the word the word was with God and the word was God in the book of Revelation both the father and Jesus referred to themselves as the first and the last, the beginning, then the Alpha and the Omega, which is titles exclusively used for God.

Three and some Old Testament passages where the Messiah, the son of God is referred to as mighty God so so that's that's very clear.

And then we know that that the spirit is referred to as God example in acts five that Ananias and Sapphire lie to God as the lights of the Holy Spirit. They like to God and he was nine. The spirit is called eternal. So what we understand is there is one God only one goblet is complex and is unity say one person would would be misleading. One God is complex and is unity. So here here's the way scripturally set out the father is the source from whom all things come they come through the sun by the spirit circuit was exiting so that the father the source of all things. Think of that the physical sun and in the sky so when we look at it we see the radiance of the sun. We don't actually see the brightness of it itself up, he saw that would be instantly blinded, we see the radiance of it and then were touched invisibly by the race in the same way.

The father is hidden in glory.

The same Bible that talks about people seeing God says that noticing God.

John 118 no one has seen God, but the only son is in the bosom of the file he's making known so the father is hidden in his glory, the sun is the one who makes a known he was one, he's the radiance of God's glory.

That's why Jesus says in John 14 if you seen me you seen the father than the Holy Spirit works secretly mysteriously behind the scenes invisibly to carry out the work and then he points everyone to Jesus, and Jesus wants everyone to the father in the book of Revelation the 22nd chapter it says that when we were before the throne of God in the new Jerusalem, speaking of God and the land that we will see his face, not their faces. So there's one God, but is complex and is unity so he can sit throne in heaven he can walk among us in bodily form and he can move invisibly among us by his Spirit. That's why were baptized in the name of the father son and Holy Spirit. So I'm quite familiar with the Bible. I mean an event I picture but not the peak I'm really catlike. I don't remember work that someone asked if he could be on the know on the right hand God, you know you got my place. You know what I mean my right right right so so just because we have like a compass exhaust please call again.

Let's talk some more right but remember the sun comes in human form through Jesus. So Jesus now mediates between God and man because he is God's man so he sits at the right hand of the father then in eternity will receive 1.8.I'd encourage really get to know the Lord person through the blood of Jesus. So you know him personally, then ask of wisdom in these areas. Another program powered by the Truth Network
