The guests have discussed are things you've heard that I believe whatever news related things we talked about. We open the phones today wide 866-34-TRUTH will start with her friend Todd in Cedar Grove, North Carolina. Welcome to the modifier.

Dr. Brown, this question came to my body or b-day back arguably but the question I have for you today and questioning of what is the origin of the day Pharisee and said right so Sarah C goes back and in Hebrews proves shame and the normal assumption is that he goes back to the concept of being separated someone who was a parish with someone who is separated and the Pharisees as they have their historic origins in the mid-first century, admit second century BC them in their mind they go all the way back to to Moses and traditions being passed on. But they basically advocated that that everyone in Israel should live in priestly purity and that while temple worship was important that that going to a local gathering place a house of prayer and teach in the local synagogue that was a pharisaic intervention innovation was important so they work. They were separated so proves shame normally taken to mean that he goes back to that originally Sadducees that the term since adulthood's ability in Hebrew has to do with with righteousness and why that was attributed to them directly.

Of those that were more in the priestly aristocracy, those that were more temple based etc. how that term got directly associated with them. This is me a bit more discreet.

But the one as to the separation. The other has to do with righteousness in terms of the meaning of the words and then they became basically the things that that were worn just like the Methodists go back to the methodical way that John and Charles Wesley lived and told her when you have to live like this, like this, like this, they were called Methodists that stuck. So sympathies but that's that's what the terms actually mean what you're joking about the stage for you for waiving the resurrection spirits or a great thing that while they were side trays yet so yeah, of course, that works that works in English is a joke right but does work in Hebrew when it just has to do with width of the word root for righteousness yeah and again just you know that if you're talking to a Jewish person, especially religious Jew Pharisees. Not a bad word in our Christian terminology in general societal terminology was settled via Pharisee meetings will be a hypocrite or self-righteous, but to to religious Jews Pharisees were heroes in the New Testament is unfair to them. Hey, thank you for the call appreciate it. 86634 let's go to Joseph in Sioux Falls South Dakota.

Welcome to the modifier, happy Sabbath advance. Dr. Michael Brown thank you so my question is on. Know your thoughts on the trip you know any of his research with Dr. Algar the he actually is doing research on Hebrew New Testament manuscripts an object.

You know, if you know anything about his research and also if you do what you thought. So Gaza and I know children a certain level. We contacted personally a little bit stiffly a serious student of the word.

He he is one that that does serious academic study and is not to some Internet flake out there because a lot of the Hebrew manuscript stuff can be pretty wacky. Can you tell me specifically what question you haven't in terms of what he said about Hebrew manuscripts of the Gospels that is got your attention. Why do you ascribe to him on YouTube and I've been watching them for a while now because I don't like his research I've I have two of the book on the Hebrew New Testament.

If my memory serves me right, I believe the last time I got I wanted update video actually indicated that he had over bound over for Alvin Hebrew New Testament manuscripts from Matthew to Revelation and he was actually making finding of them so I can do them in his research also manuscript teasing is just understand none of them are our ancient numbers then go back to within centuries of the New Testament. That's the key thing. In other words, what ever manuscripts existed in the first, second or 30th and fourth century, the Jerome said that he saw Eve either Hebrew Matthew or gospel of the Hebrews, there's some debate about what what actually existed, or, or the letter of Hebrews in Hebrew that exist we don't have any that we we have none of the ancient manuscripts. All we have is manuscripts from all over thousand years later 1500 years later, and scholars have always understood that these were simply translations into Hebrew from the Greek as some have argued in more recent years, George Howard defended Gordon some others.

They have argued that actually these later manuscripts reflect some earlier traditions from nicest people have.

The fact is we will have them. It's all speculation. What we do have is much, much, much later, and that's what is so many of them there many translations of of the Greek New Testament into Hebrew. Over the centuries question is, do any of these renderings reflect an alleged original Hebrew root.

Are we any closer to finding an original Hebrew. The answer to my knowledge, is not when no closer will thank you very much. I appreciate your your identified on that sure thing.

Sure thing and and in fairness to Dr. Garza. He may not be saying anything different that I'm saying whatsoever soul of I just haven't followed in detail what is taught on this, but as I've said many times. Anyone who tells you that their translation of the Bible is based on the original Hebrew New Testament. It does not exist. There is no such animal in existence is possible that some parts of the New Testament were originally written in Hebrew or or that there were different books that we don't have written in Hebrew that Matthew may have written something Hebrew, which is different than his Greek gospel. Certainly, something existed.

There's no question that some some manuscripts existed in the early church fathers, Rick recognize that and talk about even talk about some of the sources whereby differ from the Greek here and there. We don't we don't have any of those. So anyone tells you their translation is based on the original Hebrew. It is not because we don't have an original Hebrew for the New Testament and the idea that the whole New Testament was written in Hebrew that some crutch argument that's that's completely bogus, but certain parts may have been originally entered be amazing if so's my scripts were found at some point but they don't exist. In terms of anything that we have all right 866-348-7884. Let's go to Joseph in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Welcome to the line of fire going through a Lutheran character them in the large catechism and going through the history of catechesis that fell you know I have thought of favor in product encircles overall I don't know specifically why fell out of favor as an aside from church is just becoming less traditional enlisted tactic so I I can't tell you exactly when this drops off, in certain circles if you're if you're still in the Lutheran Church or Presbyterian Church robs the Catholic Church Greek Orthodox there. They're going to be various levels of catechesis's of teaching three catechism certainly the early church had certain truths that were being passed on. There was the Jewish tradition of study that was important. It's only over period of time that the more it detailed catechism's or or developed and then over period of time where you can't be baptized into your properly catechized them in that office comes much later because New Testament was your baptized upon your repentance and and and profession, but it's exactly when and how it it just seems again.

I'm nuts. I can't give you details because of something unfamiliar, but my larger understanding is as the churches got less and less traditional and more and more, preaching the word. In a practical application way that part of what was lost was was catechizing, and especially when you just have many new independent groups rising up just been a tremendous number over the last century plus that they don't have those traditions to draw on select I think it's a combination of new groups being formed so many people being saved.

New organizations denominations being formed new nondenominational post-denominational church movements coupled with other churches departing so for the traditions I imagine that in the Catholic Church. On average, things are far less traditional now than they were 50 or hundred years ago so it's probably just part of a larger cycle. As far as an ally can't be more specific, the regular sure thing, 86634 Yep time for another call. Let's go to Michael and California. Welcome to the line of fire. Yet there I have a question with regard American woman that the American people are the Hebrew people yes and no. But according to second Kings 17 when the northern kingdom of Israel was judged by God and the Assyrians exiled large portions of the population into Syria and elsewhere that they they allow that there was still a remnants of Israelites that remained there and then because the people being brought in there they they did know the customs of following the Lord in their coming and judgments of priests were sent back of Jews viewed the Samaritans as half breeds. They say, especially ancient Jews, they saw the Samaritans as half breeds. They said they are mixed marriages between the original Israelites and the other pagans that were exiled into their countries so that their halfbreed and therefore not as pure as the Jewish line. The Samaritans say quite the opposite, that they were the ones that preserve their purity that they are the true Israelites and that they preserve the true traditions. So in their minds.

They are 100% true blue Israelites and their numbers are very very small traditional Jewish view was actually there half breeds.

They are Israelites intermarried with those who were sent to their country so other countries exiled into Israel and that's why they had lower status nowadays in Israel to part of larger body, but that's that's the ancient debate. The line of fire with your host Dr. Michael Brown voice of moral cultural and spiritual revolution. Here again is Dr. Michael Brown thanks friends for joining us on the line of fire.

Just another reminder don't get my emails. Be sure to sign up got so much great stuff coming your way every week letting you know about free resources online. Catch you up on latest articles, videos, new resources that are being released so good asked her to Brown.org SK DR Brown.org's cook up to get the emails putting your first last name email just your address if you like and we will be in touch with you. You'll be blessed you be blessed by the way, with regard to the last question, and the Samaritans, which is true or they the pure breeds of the half breeds. I don't know.

I don't know that we can know for sure on the wood DNA testing has yielded or how much that would indicate a certain purity of of line and how far back goes at a certain point for sure they did not intermarry and they were very much separated and that's one reason their numbers became so low without question.

They are seeking to worship the God of Israel, and follow the tour of Israel, but not many of the later rabbinic traditions 866-34-TRUTH we go to Armando in Unalaska, Texas. Welcome to the line of fire. Hello are you there yet yet, go ahead a bottle question about the sure. Hebrews 1027 work that we go on deliberately turning up the knowledge of the truth remain at more sex and tall particular verse applying to like a lot of salvation yeah as I understand it, it absolutely is no need to understand it rightly. It's not saying if you send your saved and you think I'm getting drunk I just depressed that you lose your skull lose your salvation. Know this is not saying that memories talking to two Jews there in context. Jewish believers and they are being told to deny Jesus to walk away from their faith and he's saying if if you are going to go on in sin willfully. If you reject him and go on sin willfully. The temple sacrifices and I can avail going back and practicing the David told her that there is no sacrifice for sin. That means you reject. So your willful sin is rejecting the Messiah now living your life however you want to live it and says when you've done that of as you keep reading that that you've trampled underfoot the son of God, so it is someone who makes a willful choice to persist in sin and deny the Lord barring repentance by the person turning back to the Jesus that they rejected. Yeah, they forfeited their salvation. And it's a very serious warning Amini's is known as his look forward to his fiery judgment, but if we turn back to the cross. Of course there's mercy and forgiveness.

Every believer on some level is sin willfully. Many a time right but asked for forgiveness and turned back to the cross. The whole message of the Bible is God's incredible mercy and forgiveness for those who turn to him which I remember, especially to the Jewish audience.

There was the thought. I still have an old system. I will need the Messiah. This actually reject him and go on willful sin. There is no sacrifice for sins that except you have to pay for prepping that the blood of the son of God underfoot. Okay practically talking about God and a projection like rejecting Christ: the it's it's both together. In other words, certainly rejecting the Messiah. Certainly rejecting Christ. But not only that it's the idea that I can now go on in sin and have some type of forgiveness that remain so look at it this way there a bigger issue may have been what to do with the Messiah right in thinking that we can go back to her old system. Someone else it's can be what I do with him and others will I follow him as Lord or not any saying okay if you sink, you can just go on sinning. I reject you as Lord and go on sinning. I'm still kinds of store snow does work like that. So my choice of persistent unrepentant willful sin is a rejection of his Lordship, you can't. You can't have it any other way right III yeah so it's not that all man I was a stupid thing to do.

I regret it. Or, okay, look, I knew what I was doing it was wrong and I come back to God for forgiveness is not. That's it. No that's not it is the persistent and willful rejection of Jesus as Lord, which is good be manifest theologically not believe in him anymore and skin to be manifest in my lifestyle.

So for some it starts theologically, they begin to question and they end up rejecting Jesus as the Messiah and walking away from him. For others it starts because of fleshly sinful desires and the guys determined to dump his wife and start a new life with this gal that he really likes, and he's going to do it, so there is that rejection of the Lordship of Jesus, you can disable forgive me for you know not not if we persist in that sin, rejection, so hopefully that's applicable in a given application for today. All right, something much sure thing so I can I take away from the two things. One, don't play games with grace and to if we truly ask God for mercy and turn to Jesus.

He doesn't reject us all right.

Let's go to Alex in Buffalo, New York. Welcome to the line of fire how I had a question about proverb and proverb like you corrective pool there and I like you do not reprove golfers you will you reprove a white medic will love you but then later Proverbs said that light you should correct the wise man are boys person the middle become like white their own eyes like that light source is a real the real issue so generally speaking, we don't.

We understand the principal and other. In other words, when you try to correct a scoffer or marker it's it's useless. They just mark all the more you correct the wise men and he's gonna listen right, but now it's the answer of full subproblems 2062 versus a side-by-side so as not sent about correction is not responding. So Proverbs 26 for answer, not a fool according to his folly this to be like in yourself answer a fool according to his folly list to be wise in his own eyes, so there is scholarly debate because the got the two verses next to each other saying the opposite new one is it throws out the first two rejected by the second of the other is depends on the circumstance. In other words, sometimes you do not.

Again, this is not about correcting so the person will learn and grow. It's it's about rebuking right or responding so if if there's the one time. To me it's it's based on circumstances. These are true truth that have to be applied and that's what we have both verses. So the one is if I answer this person you know they're just acting like a complete jerk on the Internet and put in. If I answer it. Once I get into that I'm dirty to ready. You know the name calling the junk. The insult the moment I get into that I'm now blemished and dirty just walk away from it. There other times when it's right to say you are deceived you are in error. I'm warning you, and you walk away. So it all depends on the situation and discernment. Now again, this debate among scholars consider reading at the site will have the same info.

The two verses side-by-side, but we do know, in principle, that that there were people you just ignore. Don't bother trying speaking to this person's like your for example, if someone comes up completely drunk and yelling and screaming.

You email me just walk away… Some supernatural unction on you to pray for that person to be instantly sobered you just ignore it, you don't engage.

You just walk away.

So there are times we do that and generally was some it's a fool or marker is pray for them and other times it's important to to rebuke to warrant and then those that they can receive teaching.

That's how you see when I first started teaching a Bible school a while was sold 27, 28 years old I saw pretty quickly that there were some people who were dynamically gifted. I mean really charismatic type people that seem to have a lot of potential with an intake correction will and didn't have a humble spirit, so they would get my time like anyone else I would teach artsy to pour into them. They have a question for me an answer, but the ones that I poured into were the ones that when you brought them correction. They absorbed it and they thank you for I said that's the kind of person I want.

Pour into because that's that's good soil with the same kind of principle is what we talk about here though. If it seemed like they would like receive correction and they would like and they would not like mock you more and you and you don't stoop to their level either.

Like if there are you elected yet then then then you do your best to give it because you don't really know that person's character, yet they they have not been clearly seen as a wise person or as as a fool I I've engage people on the Internet and it's like okay you're making a point.

I'm pretty sure your sarcastic and your mocking but just in case on the respond was truth and then to my surprise, sometimes it's like all. Thank you.

That really helps.

That's what I needed to hear. Applicant while I thought you were a mocker, but I know who gets on the voice of the tweet and then other times I engage. I give answer their responses is absolutely idiotic and even insulting and I said hey you know that's a W my last comment and I'm done and I'll just mute the person so that that I like to hear their know their ongoing responses, so sometimes we don't know Jesus tells us in Matthew six. Don't give that which is his holy dogs don't don't cast your pearls before swine. Sometimes we don't know immediately what the character is but we always seek to engage in a way that will open eyes, we don't. We never stoop to the level of sin or flesh, and that means don't respond instantly. Sometimes wait think pray for right response, right heart. And then there are times when you know hey I just need to warn you until you plainly receive an error to wake up and were done. Thank you for the question number and it's the light a fire with your host Dr. Michael Brown into the line of fire now by calling 866-34-TRUTH here again is Dr. Michael Brown is light today on the line of fire. Taking your questions, answering them as best as we can. 8663 foray 87884.

Just reminder that again be ministering in the Fort Worth Texas Dallas Fort Worth area this coming weekend.

Got some small meetings with some public meetings as well, though be on my itinerary and ask Dr. Brown.org may not be able to greet you personally depends on when the meetings etc., but love to have you out if you're anywhere in the area right we go straight to the phones beginning with not beginning there. Let's go to Barry in Deerfield Beach, Florida.

Welcome to the line of fire. How are you Dr. Brown doing well man doing well. Look at your notebook coming out, waiting for which one.

What about you got compassion father consuming far engage in the God of the Old Testament.

Yeah we we assigned a bunch of copies for the preorders and those being shipped out in yes so great thank you good for the interest go answer yeah my my question back you where what you looked on Bond are one, you lose thought lose the Lewiston Avenue and you can find that yes the way that we often hear it taught in our Pentecostal charismatic circles, it does not fit the context in terms of binding and loosing demons and things like that so I do believe in our spiritual authority over the devil and demons in Jesus name by the spirit.

I don't believe that's the application there.

He's dealing with with church discipline, Congregational discipline he's dealing with decisions that are being made in terms of of sin in relationships and it's basically saying that God will enforce us that that gobble back what we do with his authority when withstanding us as his representatives because what were doing is just marrying, mirroring with seven habits of somewhat emphasize that that will be bind on earth through loose has a ready been bound or loosed in heaven. We are just reflecting up with that.

That would've been known Jewish legal terminology.

In fact, we just see for example in the Jewish New Testament by David Stern how he renders that a beak because for sure he's going to be emphasizing the Jewish context in his Jewish New Testament commentary about binding and loosing often had to do with legal decisions that were being made Siletz to see here and do I have it up on my screen that none of the other material. I guess I tell you people that whatever you prohibit on earth will be prohibited in heaven, with a view permit on earth will be permitted in heaven.

So he's rendering it in light of its legal Jewish background and understanding. In that context.

So the congregation sets. This is that this parameter and that that will be then in harmony with God and back by God. So in the case of someone being discipline or excommunicated. We have divine backing and doing it will redoing it in harmony with God and then as the believers were making decisions about Gentile believers, are they required to abide by the law of Moses. This is the type of per hit a permit prohibit that I believe Jesus was talking about in context. Okay thank you very much… You are you are very welcome. All right, 866-34-TRUTH. Let's go to Erin in Portland, Oregon.

Welcome to the line of fire. Dr. Brown yes I can. Thank you for your ministry here, I wanted to seek counsel from you on a personal matter. I have one brother.

My only sibling and for the last 15 years or so we never really been close. The black sheep of the family. I And I found out recently through my parents that my brother is getting a transmission toward being a woman.

I really don't have an open line of communication with them, but I love him deeply and I'm very concerned for him and what bothers me the most. I don't want his blood on my hands but I also don't want to push them further away or hurt him in any way some time at a loss for what to do. Yeah, I believe I get out worldview is very hurtful. Yup yup yeah II have it in older relatives that sewed completely rejected by me because of the positions to which I hold as as he is. Some in the 60s said that he's actually a woman so obviously just believe, you will be believe emphasizing biology is not bigotry people still perceive it is hate and that's unfortunate.

We know that if we didn't love, we wouldn't care if we didn't love we to say hey do whatever you think to do so. Your brother does he claim to have a relationship with the Lord. Now I don't.

In the Catholic Church or area that I haven't over two year right so I don't believe she does right so I would write my first concern would be his relationship with God because transgender identified or not, that's his biggest words, there are hundreds of millions of people who are heterosexual and straight that are lost without Jesus sold.

That's the first thing to pray for God's work in his life there obviously issue struggles pain he's experiencing that he feels now.

This is the way to resolve them. This office not the solution but I would begin with really praying for him like never before, asking God to lead you in prayer may be mentally too fast for him for his relationship with God.

That's that's the biggest issue of all, there are people who were former transgender me date they tragically butchered their bodies and they can't can't repair what they did but they're born again.

They love the Lord their save though be with him forever and get a new body one day so I be praying for that first and foremost and then secondly if there's a way just to reach out. That doesn't seem to all, I would just reach out just to open the doors of communication. I would raise the transgender issue and get this point you haven't been close enough to to be able to speak into that a but I would just if if appropriate.

Just shoot them a note say hey been thinking about you. Hope you're doing well or whatever or hey, it's been long time since we've talked.

Let me know if you want to and if he says well what triggered it the same interest in going through some major decisions and changes are just been thinking about you, pray for this like to talk again and you only go go there he goes there. If the door shut automatically. If he senses you see here he comes with the self-righteousness on anything to do that. They just keep praying.

The other thing if he can go this far.

Erin, I encourage you to watch this movie, you can do this, but if goes so far. For him to watch. It is called in his image siren if if you go there now in his image.movie in his image.movie and just put your email address.

You can watch a freebie there or on YouTube in his image. The movie it's about an hour 45 minutes I the privilege of hosting it for American family Association and it is very heavily based on gender issues and transgender identity and what the word says and some compelling stories. It will give you even greater empathy as you pray in greater understanding and perhaps by some miracle, your brother would be willing to watch this.

It might be just what he needs to wake him up and turn his heart, but everyone listening, watching, can I ask you to just agree in prayer. Now that God will intervene in this man's life and for everyone else. That's with me right now you so that's my brother that's my dad that's my aunt that's my cousin that's my friend, God were asking you to work in these precious lives and to reveal your son to make them whole from the inside out. In Jesus name Lord give Aron wisdom given wisdom. A man hey let us know how things go in that the months ahead, 866-34-TRUTH we go to Norman know we don't let's go over to Chris is not going to court.

Well, we are having an epidemic of this, let's try this here Isaac in California are you there and hear me. I can hear you only had an epidemic of phone drops their lead in California hung on. Yeah, what's up were barely holding on. Yeah I know, I know that the moment that's that's why you are more desperate, you had more perseverance. Yeah we we reached out to the capital, and though there is beacon of epidemic. By the way, because of the epidemic in other than a lack of social interaction and a lot of people have been having the conversation with people in my circle about you know like coordinating and dating and how the epidemic has affected that and especially for believers and there is a rise being of the code. The Christian dating at an island like up word, and so forth that people download them and you know art are going through the whole thing, but I'm kind of seeking your wisdom on this it if there is like a biblical response to Christian dating. You know, is it is it wise to consider them online to consider them.

What are some dangers the lookout for the option so you can having never lifted a nap in the swoosh happily married to Nancy for over 45 years and in data gaps that exist back in our day we met, but just my practical advice. First, make sure it's legit right there probably predators out there and all types of people with with all kinds of agents make sure the thing is is legit and then of I don't see anything wrong with it. On the surface. In other words, is it any different than if you live in a certain small town and there very, very few people there.

You know your age that on Friday night. She visited use group in another church to get to meet people you know and that and that's why you're there you enjoy the service which were there to meet people or you socialize in certain places, or know that the our community reaches just been expanded so I would just make sure that that whatever you do, you do it like any other relationship you get to know someone you you really honest and forthright. I would imagine that with an athletes it's easier to be false questions office on the other side of the ring, but I do know some people that have met their spouse through dating after they've been happily married for years like I do know that it happens, 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 86643 here again is Dr. Michael Brown, this is just one more product thought about dating app is again it's easier to hide identity or to to convey false impressions via social media than face-to-face and you still do face-to-face, but less so.

So I would just say that if there does seem to be an interest goes when the store and spiritual things first, and not just the appearance or outward credentials connection about spiritual things and commitment to the Lord. If there is any duty of seriousness.

I would do my best to get it in a way where you're talking if you can't do it face-to-face physically but assume you know and so the by phone so that you, your getting to know each other better because at some point if you live in different parts of the country the F to figure out what you do with that's you really need to get to know each other as well is possible you could say would just praying God to bring the right person for life less often with me in a little church your God brings 19-year-old Jewish atheist to this 19-year-old forward drug user drug abuser's sales. Nancy brings us together right side of watch them do that. But you can do it through many other means. So the key thing is just to have some caution wisdom in the midst of it all right. Let us go to Angelita in Alexandria, Virginia welcomes the line of fire. I know Dr. Brown, a thank you again, and that I have been able to get through so I want to act like previous caller may be called to go to expound on Matthew Devine and Lucy yeah so my question has to do with proper 1821 death and life are in the power Anton and can you please give like practical application and we got them.

I am not pregnant follows that naming claim a keynote thing that I have discussion like that man has been a lot aboutthinking that if I'm out fighting it might not be positive but you know like thinking I become a negative email year you're speaking of the situation with assistance like okay so there's the one extreme, the word to face naming claim extremist people put it like that that you create realities.

But what you say and that that reality is that is can be shaped by the suit, so goes to extreme, which is is clearly not true and it was there that people for years like now going to die younger they die like 100 for you know and and there there you know people at city.

You're a failure to be a failure in just like whatever and you keep going.

There was this make you a failure. There's the other side you knows sticks and stones may break my bones but words can never harm me less. That's also not true. So words are tremendously powerful words can wound words can encourage so words can be death giving discouraging negative hopeless.

There are kids that that struggle with depression and suicide because of being bombarded by parents are nothing. You know good your disgraced roof family. I wish you never came into the world and end up taking their lives out of depression and feeling of worthlessness and there are others that this new hey I always knew I could do it because because my mom and dad.

They will say you can you put your mantra.

You can do it you can do it so so we know that the power of words and what I encourage you to do is go through Proverbs and and taken note of every verse that deals with the tongue how the tongue can wound every verse that deals with words in the power of words and it's it's quite, quite dynamic you know and and a reckless tongue pierces like a sword and and the one that opens his mouth wide open said to destruction, but the words of the wise bring healing so in a very literal way, life and death are in the power tongue but but not in the exaggerated way that were the face people say that is if they give us a semi-contrary to reality, and that makes it so you know I'm I'm actually success. I'm actually that and therefore it just happens or if someone speaks something negative, that now it's like that.

Those words are hanging over you know there are things sometimes someone can speak something because of the role of their authority. They speak something negative and it's like a sword it's it's devastating and you have to go to the Lord.

As you know it's false, you know it's a lie about you.

You have to go to the Lord and say Lord in your presence.

I renounce that I cast it down because it's it's it's it's stuck in there. It has power. So the power of words is primarily understandable is not mystical.

It's understandable because for example if if I just start speaking Hebrew call cleats are likely it's logical showman to come talk to me part. There she was administered to you and say praise God." Isaiah 5417. No weapon formed against you will prosper and every tongue that rises against her, and judgment will condemn so it's not the sounds it's the it's the quality it's the reality of the words and they can be life-giving or death giving and that's what we need to be cautious and careful with the words that we speak so it's it's not the one extreme word of faith to speak it and it happens and it's not the other extreme of just words. Words have no power words have a lot of power because of what they convey all right, all right.

Mother was really learning from this, even though he's not open that that as you're interacting it's it's sharpening your own understanding and and it's forcing you to study in your growing through it than that would be worthwhile if it's more waste of time if it's a he's not open be it's not helping me grow. See, it's just contentious. Then to me. I walk away from it. It's a waste of time. It's a hey if you're if you're really seeking and hungry. Then we judgment and this is a someone that's Tuesday as of today interacting with Commissioner rabbis and addenda for decades and decades of someone influence them, but I feel the dialogue is always helpful. It's always sharpening it's it's always challenging us both to think and pray and therefore find it helpful there others I won't deal with because their mockers there there scorners and there is there's no fruit in the dialogue there's no growth through the dialogue and there is no openness on therein right so the second part of your question was what coming back and work off mark and I couldn't come to the man if idolatry worship a man right so you after that one.
