It works out, we got my name that matches the show. Hey, go to give me a call.

I'll be short tonight because I didn't do withholding, you may ask me anything on discord tonight, people can commit to a room a lot of unbelievers and believers, and they just fire questions at me like I do that kind of thing anymore teaching style.

There is more, just a different venue so hey what you call five open lines 877-207-2276. If your newbie to the show. What we do here is the answer questions on them.

The Bible apologetics, which is a defense of the Christian faith we talk about Mormonism as witnesses Christian science unity Baha'i Islam UFOs the occult. We talk about all kinds of stuff for the privilege of being able to study these things for years and get some answers you don't but doesn't I don't claim to have all the answers you want to give a call to talk about that stuff. All right, so I don't know if you guys so humbly you were aware of what's happening here in America as in the demise of Mark our moral structure. I am working will be developing some articles and some stuff about this, their books being written about it… Where our status of our country is where it's heading to the rise of the rise of the socialism, which is a mild form of communism and that reminds me, so I was on the other; discord today and having a discussion with some people and one of the guys so I can find the dialogue.

It's an interesting dialogue.

He was actually defending communism and the he says is a socialist social was no a democratic socialist edges of the work for Connie and he said, get this, he said communism is not a bad form of government. If you use your brain. You can tell that it's not perfect but neither is capitalism or monarchic monarchic is him and what It is. I said communism, which long socialism because that's what it is basically business full socialism of socialism is communism light anyway, is to restrict personal rights confiscates guns, reduces private property rights, if not outright removing them require submission to the states control controls all forms of production as well as a distribution of those products.

I asked him is that what you want and I put in a link then to show that the nonreligious wars are 6.98% or 6.92% of the religious of all wars in recorded history are based on religious issues, and so that half of those are from Islam itself. So I asked him and we talk a little bit and he said something that you said look you said you look and saying that that's what you look like look at.

He said what communism aims to do was increase the quality of life for all by removing government, making sure everyone has or needs accounted for and giving people what they want as long as they're helping the commune and the he said a guns will be necessary in a communistic society. This guy just lives in a fantasy world, and of course it removes private private property rights because land isn't a commodity to be bought and sold in communism. That's the whole point everyone is provided land to live on by the commune, the state doesn't exist when true communism starts because the commune is a whole is considered the state. There is no actual government entity which is ridiculous.

He does know you talking about because cognizant is a governmental system and you can't have a commune which they can have nation is a copy of you can have a, a comet without some rules and some order as an enforcement of those rules in order. This is how it works and told it is no we talk about and I said you communism is universally oppressive as you do some research on this and he said I was the one who is subject to propaganda, which is really interesting because I noticed this kind of thing with the left.

They think that where the ones were brainwashed get there. The ones were pushing a political system that has failed miserably.

Every single time. And yet they're the ones who say that that they're doing it right were not anti-cities, and more.

A lot of research and I said no no no no such due doing utilities brainwashed said not many minutes into said if you think you found what what you've got. Let's see this I said I asked the questions of how many people of communist skilled in the 1900s and he said no one is true communism was never reached out. This is interesting because this is the kind of mentality that these leftists have. They say true communism, or true. Socialism is never met in all the forms that it existed. They're not really true and we can do it right now the arrogance and the ignorance of that kind of attitude to me is really interesting, but I said to pass it hot how many people have the communist leaders in the regimes killed 1900s and so you know focus over 100 million people 100 million and the we had this discussion at this point he didn't want talking and which I think is interesting is pretty typical in my opinion for people who don't really study the issues, how they then claimed that they do. And when you asking for documentation. You say no. I want to know what you were getting the stuff they don't want talking more and this is how the left is on the TV. They don't really want to have serious discussions on the center challenge the debates you want to participate its agenda over a perfect way we have of utilizing the call 877-207-2276.

Let's get to Vicki from North Carolina hey Vicki, welcome your on the air you that the area that Reppert and Martin are in favor all the first blog wouldn't say that the Shamrock actually exists and Camaro is like poet, but no will you serve.

Sold first souls or something that humans have because remaining image of God and angels are not, but their software so we don't get a hold of it. I define soul and spirit, and things like that were medium to God. The needles are not.

We have free will.

They have free will with self aware, their software with their different so it becomes difficult. We discussed that issue of soul was forced God's creatures like that and it's too mythological and ambiguous to be able to say no camera Camaro is a fair economy well okay now you talk about them using cloning and genetic nitpick manipulating Reppert ordering guide. Not well at all by Peter think that writer I don't know about you, it would be interesting because there possibilities with this we know that a soul exists in the human being and what Dick signifies them as being human is the soul not the body that's what's interesting so nothing will think that the soul emanates for the body, but it is not in his reasons, it cannot and cannot be restricted to the physical body but to the soul is a human thing and so there's debates and discussions on how the soul is generated within a human being is it something graph given by God is something that is a product the egg in the spring to come together and develop.

We just don't know there's discussions about because we don't know we can't say if a cloned person is or is not as a single human human so we don't know. That's one issue case by me to say yes we could say known as arguments for and against. And if it doesn't have a soul and it's empty. Is it possible demonic forces can have it up units of possibility. All these possibilities. We don't know for sure. So right, you know, and they do these combinations is what I'm getting very concerned about is that teams are playing genetics, putting things together and it might create something that is bad, really bad. Sorry, I like like that of knowing when you could disperse at current can't like to look at it exactly since I yeah it is a city as we don't become the we don't know where I could write an article, but when it would be would be possibilities here, here, here and here and we just don't sleep a lot, except that they are not met with well you are familiar, they want to be God guesses whatever he wants and that's that's what it is they don't have true knowledge and they want to think that their knowledge entitles them to act, but true knowledge requires true responsibility but you can have the latter with the former and people don't know that they're connected at that as you have knowledge you have or possibility, but you many people what they want to do is have knowledge without responsibility considers what bridges knowledge of and responsibility is wisdom. And so they don't have it because her ungodly which is why true knowledge that were true truth of what conforms the mind of God and whatever God reveals and we believe is how we can have true knowledge and then with God's wisdom. We can have true knowledge and wisdom and we will then know our responsibility.

Okay, I you to cut less rectified. Let's get to Tyler from Texas. A Tyler welcome you are on here is government but he got what Phil had a question. I was just sitting here like I have a quick question okay. Try to talk my Catholic family and learning that and think about them trying to go over like the history of the papacy and everything like that bike.

They always have something to come back with and I would do little to study with Matthew 23 nine and out the car, man father, but it uses two different fathers in the Greek and Strong's concordance and wonder why oh uses pot terror.

Call your father. There is one father is pot terror and pate are mostly white is okay hold on because when I went up and called 87720776 max Y call 77077 charismatic slave back to the Joe.

We had a little glitch. I just found out I clicked on to get him back on here so I called back about that issue. I'll explain though why what's going on in Matthew 23 nine with the issue of pot terror, but there is the word for father in the Greek and what it says do not call anyone on earth your father and the great word here is pot terror Tara for one is your father, pot terror, so click terror rock and put terror so people think a different word. It isn't Greek is different in English.

So for example the word actor and actors. Are they the same word yet the same word. One is just plural in one singular or have what the word actress and actresses all for those actor actors actress actresses are real for the same word the same word is just that in English they change form a little bit to designate plurality and gender don't have too many words like that that you both have table tables water watchers son sons as of the scan Skype and star stars so we don't have gender with the little do that very much in English but in Greek nouns do is called declension the decline the change so we would have what's called the nominative, genitive, date of an accusative and the nominative case or the nominative form of the word. It would be PAT pot terror PT ER what might be that I think that yet. Pot terror is the nominative, which means it's the subject and so the same word when it is the accusative becomes pot terror is the same word just has a different spelling at the end the same way actor actors actress actresses. It's the same word. It's just takes different forms depending on its usage.

That's exactly what's happening here in the Greek.

We know this is a fact because the Greek word is from the restaurants accordance 3962. In both instances on earth your father for one is your father so call no one on earth your father is one of his father's in heaven there from the same Greek word the Greek, the Alexa country 962 and so it's just different forms.

That's all that's going on like the word actor actors actress actresses nouns in English sometimes change form and they do that in in Greek, except even more so.

Where in English we might have actor actors actress actresses. We have plural and gender in in that word declension, but in Greek, you not only have a plurality or singularity was called number. How many there is is either one or more you can also have gender male or female, but you can also have neuter and you could have nominative, genitive, date of accusative optative and so one word, depending on how it's spelled can tell you if it is the subject if it's going joint possession. If it's neuter.

If it is feminine. If it's plural or singular, whatever place it has Greek is far more powerful powerful than English. This way, that's all that's going on in the Greek it's the very same word. It occurs in both places. In a 23 nine no calling on earth your father for his one father is in heaven. It's the same group Greek word just declines in Greek. It's the same work that's all that's going on 20 McCall folks 877-207-2276 is good to alphabetical from Georgia.

Albert welcome you on the air Max leg active question by Donald Ladd merger the book of Revelation. Okay where God heard that people are heard from Daniel while it said that without picking up on the Vulgate added to the relation the book a few days ago.

It would like no badge of manuscript Greek manuscript that had the bucket are another preachers that anathema commentary by Violet Baeza Baker created this week. Check out a month from the commentary and added the although illicitly stated that that your part to get the name ad with the way they were you that this prophecy you get your part fund of 1° life in the holy city, but I never imagined that that your name question though, which are which?

Question at it with a diverse come from Vulgate or from a commentary that by Theodore Baker created that I don't know. I have studied the historicity of those particular verses in Revelation to see which men's Katrina come down through so I don't know my head okay so there are if you are interested in this.

What you can do is do research on the web on is called historicity historicity of the New Testament documents and you could at do research on the last few verses of Revelation.

Because there are a couple of variance in there at the end of this before.

For some people talked about the question then becomes a what's the correct version before getting this little more want to say that the fact is folks legitimate. The Bible does have copyist errors, but not very many.

It is only a few places where you really worth discussion. This is one of them was called, Jahan IMA Fortune 57. The woman caught in adultery, in John chapter 8 the ending of Mark. So these are the kinds of things are worth discussing. They don't affect doctrine to the fact is that because people copy these documents they did not do it perfectly, but pretty darn close to perfect, because the New Testament documents of all the manuscript that have been recovered when they compare them to 99.8% textual identical. It's what you're talking about here is one of the very very few areas of all the New Testament documents that have been uncovered. Where there's a differentiation in some of the verses of the end of Revelation in different manuscript trees exactly the wording in which verse goes where.

And so that it does have studied particular, I do know that the roots got up probably thought it was bad when I translate word for word translation that's not possible for God or that what would a birthday there if I might take away a add to the weather is graphically translated from the Greek, Spanish or Chinese or Japanese likely the world alert. He said something on Wednesday. It is possible to do a literal word for word translation.

The Greek okay so for example the word auger thoughts.

This means masculine singular good is what it means it's good but it's in the masculine singular position just word good essay on authority, which is also the word good, but it's the word good in a plural sense. So this the word good cake into a complete translation insane it's accurate it's just going to start getting into more complicated sentences. You can have some issues sometimes and on how to translate something like Romans 518 friction and when you understand the Greek you realize that sometimes translating it exactly into the English is not so easy.

It's sometimes better in other languages that carry gender and plurality in their nouns were English very well but we can still get around it, no problem. Have a very good understanding so on illustration I uses is in Spanish to say I'm hungry.

Say your thing wanting with literally as I I have hunger. That's how you literally translated Lincoln literally translated-I have hunger that you translation means is dynamic hold of you right back after these messages, please Max leg why call 770-7276 pairs Max leg, right Alberto Becker still there. There are right. So what about about is going to look at Luke 944 zero lately lately at work to get your ear you can track letter directly rapidly or will it may would happily with a Bailey Bailey baby. Her family will like our Daniel deal while at one time said okay that I met an American record standard translate the word polished tooth lady or dog cow but not always translate it every time through city cannot have the population let anything yes thousand feet… How will they take a break, take a break because leader so the issue here is that there are different translation strategies when you come to the text translated that are language how accurate do you wanted the one of these little as possible.

So, for example. It'll say God will save his way of showing anger is. He clears his nostrils at you essay in the Hebrew. Well, that means he's angry we don't use the ADM clerk turned nostrils with a you know he's angry and so they'll translated literally, declared his nostrils still say he was angry and that's correct because it is an idiom, so some translations might translate the idiom literally cleared his nostrils at you and some translations might symbol this is what he's intending to say right there. We know that's what we did with that what it depends to some degree on the intention of the translators, not deceptive, but to be literal, but dynamic is possible that makes sense and I think they can't come translation like that that actionable but not function actionable but is not really how you say the word, not really what you like to determine use not readable or will you see what you're doing is you're taking things and you can according then to memory text about certain things and in the regard to the text of the New Testament and a lot of times those discussions are very precise about a very particular thing and it often is the case against Duke. You have to be able to recall. Remember" that in its specificity inward to get an accurate representation. You see, you can have a different transit lies can be different text of the coda salads and dryness or the Syriac, Coptic, you have the city. Atticus began a different manuscript might say, will the semiotics verse in this version is older than Rasmussen use that for this in the Latin dues. It is so when you and then if you don't remember all those details you're talking about it. It can easily misrepresent with the whole issue is missing or doing it the careful right firearm. I would go and just do some searches on historicity look at the Trinitarian Bible Society and go through some of that on the issue of textual criticism.

That's another way to to to to look up his textual biblical textual criticism.

It's a very deep topic to very deep topic. Okay buddy all right. Thank you God bless. I is Alberto from Georgia let's get to Kim from rural Hall North Carolina Kim welcoming on the air segment of quickie map 2433. If you could make. You build the ground before you did look for to define what spiritual adultery is so fundamental wife were married and are both Christians by profession and then one of them falls away and says you would never hear. She was never a Christian begin with. That's a spiritual adultery.

He may become a Mormon. Let's say a true Christian becomes a Mormon, well then that spiritual adultery is going up to false gods. Okay that's not grounds for divorce.

Okay okay good that you have a million addictive but not that one would that be. Now that's a different issue because that gets in the issue of physical adultery because the Bible talks about adultery being a grounds for divorce and is talking in the actual covenants of that in Matthew 532 talks of Jesus talks about it, along with abandonment, so this issue has come up about the relationship between adultery and pornography.

And it's a it's an interesting issue worth discussing swimming to say this, that if a man is a man more prone to it commits adult looks, pornography, and Jesus was thinking of his head and stuff and invest applicant is a grounds for divorce.

Well, he has imagined an adulterous situation but is not practiced.

It seems to be the. The grounds for divorce in the Bible is actual practicing right so I would say initially that's not grounds for divorce. But then we get in some gray area because let's say this person continues to behave in a very ungodly way, and is not repentant, then the elders of course need to be involved with this and then depending it was just a bit ambiguous but depending on the gravities severity, frequency of this then up it might become grounds for divorce because I have actually it is very carefully actually known of the situation where this was the case and he was unrepentant and continued in it and was trying to get his wife involved. It and she wanted nothing to do with this. This point he is breaking the marriage covenant for sure is his desire to have her participate in this with his unrepentant spirit, remember correctly. After a while, the elders recommended course it was okay for her to divorce him because he was unrepentant and direct sin that was sexual in nature, etc. so, where is that line get drawn that I can't tell you what you walk on rib know the meaning of that it would not know know it's a disrespect and lot of women have no idea what it means to respect her husband and you can hear very clearly in seminars and things like this on marriage will help her a lot about when a man's posted to love his wife.

Both parties can very easily provide lists of what split to be done and it comes to women respecting her husband. They don't know. So for example a woman should not talk negatively about her husband behind his back, and even in front of him between before others unless basically he's she has said looking I bring this up with a friend of mine that you would having a problem and discuss it with somebody okay this kind of thing and disrespect is something that happens a lot with in marriages, so there's not a disrespectful thing of it is not divorcing. If she is showing more appreciation for someone else.

You know, for example, if not I'm not really good at house repairs. If a five a friend identify different Nathan who could take out doors and windows do everything right will. He's better is his job and so should my wife looked down on me for not being able to do a good a job as well as him pictures no dislike you. She should not look down on him or his wife should not looked on him.

I knew more theology than he does. So we don't want to compare ourselves to others and we better be careful, this was worse with husbands and wives not to view our spouses in light of others that you think they ought to match to because that causes resentment and it causes problems and it means that the person then becomes judgmental instead of focusing on the good qualities that the person has because I respect the fact that faults the first default. Focus on your bed. Thank you. The idea is to uplift one another and focus on what is good and one another instead of one on what's negative. If they do some bad things like that. He's looking at a goal throughout economic she pointed out the elders of the church and talk about.

Of course, just because she might have more respect for another man doesn't mean that that's grounds for divorce.

It does mean that there needs of the counseling is an issue and she needs to recognize. I do think the theology of marriage really helps people particular women in the social vote respect remains but offers a lot about this.

I could teach on this for a few days. There's a lot it might help you find out you are mad, but one of the daybreak was a household word count got a break so I possible you have mats like why call 770-7276 charismatic slave. Why don't know. Now it's time for counseling for counseling rent. Okay right but either like regular goblets buddy okay let's get to you will laws and honest try Mary from North Carolina very welcome here.

Are you doing all right how are you good Fine I am going on rather I and my church to a by occupation, that Christian counselor had been here they are here, and he frequently talk about when he top that a lot of God will meet Gary that Ashley or prior to the practicality and end of 20 a client and will actually that God will actually count him that during that event parts that had the night before or at particular, it area or an action that the client was involved in an act, but when you think you now need feeling honorably audibly like I'm speaking to you now everybody can hear audibly allowed, audibly likely right now.

Anything that happened every day with me and God will my dilemma if you know what I think I'm very firm and what I believe that.

Okay, let's talk. I like it so does the Bible teach the charismatic gifts are done and my opinion is no it does not teach the charismatic gifts regard done.

I go into that debate on it right Urgently argue a lot about that yet. Now does it mean though that within that it that God audibly speaks to individuals I think is possible. I know a man I knew a man should say we lost contact you long store he was involved in Hollywood and guts things got stolen is good to go to jail and that he didn't do it you know it was and I had a gun to his head, and right before he pulled the trigger. He told me that he heard an audible voice in the room say don't do it. I love you all you heard was automatic. This is Osama and also sitting in the room with them inside it and he jail for two years and he got out he does missionary work in the judged story of the judgment which Skype should be in jail and it got so okay I have a reason to doubt that I when I hear something about it.

A guy who's hearing God every day.

By the way, I got to tell me this Williams anybody that causes red flags of two, and I would want to know more about this individual not try one more thing, I dare not get that God it turned out to say that I thought I very back like it may not only get a clear God carry on a very likely concrete data regularly hot about Frank like Outlook, how you get that to help Abdullah gobbet.

You're paying for it.

Unlike my okay last night that okay I'm done so, if God were to's to my experience with Telus too much about this except to say that when God speaks to people that are usually on their knees because Estefan Theron on their face on their knees be gone from the amount of labeling lips, so that's more, I'm glad you brought that into the get some better context. God never taught a lot.

Loblaw's right to me a break. So if this guy if this guy say the same thing then you know I'm not by visas has as casual as with the Almighty.

The universe no I don't.

When I first I'm sorry not to get out. No I'm not trying to God about. I God can do anything you want about the eye and that and I believe that wholeheartedly I believe in Aaron all Scripture Emily all and all of my heart and I just haven't issue with Scott Callaghan other people join and what they do not think about what is going on that will not hold on hold you frustrated.

Can God communicate like that the people always go to the Scripture course you can tell people their dreams. He did it in with Joseph. The Old Testament is not on the biblical right.

What is so problematic is his flippant attitude about having conversations with a holy God of the universe. That's a problem and it could be the demonic connection because in the presence of God. You don't come up casual in a gun or just talking and I was really cool now doesn't happen much. So I hit it I would be very wary of this individual.

He might be getting demonic context. Like I believe Beth Moore is and others who have these so-called conversations with God and he just flippantly talk about it is always okay okay well I'm really glad I called you because at that what our gear involved in occult that a very dark call never revealed. Now he found it had actually been in church in our evening before or after that. A lot of the Koran. Not that the one on one very very yet recommend that you contact the elders talk to the owners of English okay they need to be involved like a spanking can answer your help. Thank you very much cable goblets.

If applicable, as It right this could to John from someplace hey John, looking on the amen are you appreciate you appreciate if you thought life in this world that last collar out. Tell her to run well because I really be involved and get business casual stuff that God told me, because I do know of instances recorded in history of the Presbyterian divorce where factual, so to speak, discussions with God have gone on and recorded but thereby people who pray 6 to 8 hours a day for years and have an incredible fellowship with the Lord and they don't ever speak about God and flippant casual way is to be determined with his record. You just have to go. Michael says yeah I agree that there is no clear in her living there like a casual agreement to get to my eye and a girl. Closing down.

I believe in the Holy Spirit, without question, and I believe I believe the person I believe in Trinity, but I have been following some preachers and pastors who don't believe in the training they believe in the Holy Spirit, but they don't give any Godhead to the Holy Spirit and I partly don't pray to that was there. I don't believe in praying to the Holy Spirit. I pray to my Lord Jesus Christ, or the father is my perspective on it.

What's your take on that you can print the Holy Spirit to give you the definition of God was talk about this is that I was actually working on this today this to be a little bit heady that I wanted to do is do something a little bit I'll read a part of it is only one God. He is the one and only necessary trinitarian being is eternally consisting of three simultaneous and distinct persons.

The father to son, Holy Spirit, are you with me. There okay so I can expand on this. So what were talking about here you get into this I could say go there for three persons are of one simple substance not parts need a person derives his substance from either or both. Both of the other part. So this is the definition is called basically for focus on the ontological aspect of the of God that the three persons have self-awareness and yet are also aware of others, and yet comprise a single God. Within this we have was called up Erica rhesus. This means that in the ontological Trinity and with that means is that they all share the same divine single essence of godliness that within that single divine essence called divine simplicity.

There is something called peer paresis, which means that each of the persons permeates and dwells is aware of and yet is distinct from the other two. This is heady stuff, but this is trinitarian is a look at a deeper level and so because of this, since with the one being is the true God. You can pray to the one true God. You can say Lord Yahweh and by doing so you are in that conglomerate sense of the ontological Trinity praying to the one being who is God, and by definition to all the members. You can separate and differentiate.

Just as Jesus did after six Luke 11 we pray to the father, our father who art in heaven, but this is because he was under the law, and yet superscript is one to everyone everywhere calls upon the name of the Lord Jesus to call upon the name of the Lord Jesus call upon the name of the Lord's prayer to Yahweh and it is applied to Christ and Jesus is ask anything in my name and I will do it for you. The Holy Spirit however is never prayed to them aware of in Scripture and the reason is because of her birth witness of Christ we can. We pray the Holy Spirit yes we can. You can ask the Holy Spirit to do those things that he does because of the economic Trinity which is the relationship within the father-son Holy Spirit in their so to speak, work, the father elects the sun redeems the Holy Spirit applies the redemptive work so you could ask the Holy Spirit to convict you to make you more aware of and to bless you in the spiritual gifts because this is where he works. You can do that you could ask the Lord God to do this, just as we might pray corporately or singularly to God or the trinitarian aspects. That's how it is spoken of God is the one being, and yet let us make man in our image we get this singularity plurality in there because the nature of God or running at a time I kick into what you much more, but that okay not really clear that I clarify that for me yogurt that okay, but you two all right. God bless, but I write lists if we can get on here to the last second. Matt from Knoxville we got question the resurrection was you and do it by now try the `Pakistan I am. I get the novel and let myself in that I was talking to someone and I was quoting John 524 when he said that whoever hears my word, believe me I live yet. Had he passed from death to life that I can figure that the first resurrection segment piano I'm in the wrong classroom is sedately 20th that they came to life I am wrong.

What is good time. I write mostly right will be back tomorrow by God's grace. You Lord bless you have a great another program powered by the Truth Network
