Wondering you know what you heard about Christian nationalism not really sure what it is I think it's to say that our country is a Christian country.

Rudolph forgot what is it, unless you think alright folks going to make all five open lines wide open 877-207-2276 and since we have nobody waiting right now. What angle do is do a lot evil like some people don't like and that is hate mail me.

I like it I like it. Now I like it when people write and complain and whine and tell me about myself and how that I am, I get a kick out of it. I just do the lists restrict us out of this email little bit old but it still get less debates and encourage and engage should be the issue about the Christian church being built upon St. Peter or are you a coward for the set list abated, or are you a coward so I don't want to debate up with this guy that I'm automatically a coward. Whenever someone starts off discussion like that.

I disregard them because her big, irrational, overemotional, illogical into the debate was something like that. They don't listen. I don't think you could tell it was just this would be good for our readers.

We can address the issue and of who clearly has the one true religion and this is another thing to get the one true religion is not Jesus was true.

It's the true religion. That's what salvation is about getting in with the true religion wrong.

It's about Jesus. He was on.

You are a cowardly heretic running around from opponents.

Now I'm smiling I'm chuckling I love old people could just get right to the point. You're a cowardly heretic. That's good running around from opponents and a deep down inside you realize that I love this kind of stuff of beat the guys tell me you know to tell you what you already know deep down I did. I know what you know where these people get off.

You know they could tell you what I think deep down inside you realize that you are scared as all heretics are when put to the test and see what I said I meet people who are like this were done were not talking all your afraid to just go away. You know, diapers are full and there's not worded a serious debate because they can't debate. He says that you can't stand heat you know that it if I debated you, you would have no place to run in the high took for your mommy that's awesome that is good stuff you trembling coward before the truth and fear deeply in your Protestant heretic anguish to lose status of the eyes of your fellow good this is good. I've never heard this so I'm never heard the stencil before it's good to get good I didn't complete the sentence you trembling coward before the truth.

They fear deeply in your Protestant heretic anguish to lose thought status in the eyes of your fellow insect heretics that look up to you and your heresies. You are a slick little girl with the debate slick I could just talk about what it just entertained the bagel okay will debate you just just say thanks that we can see what he does. It always does.

They huddled like your quote just see what does it all.

I think I think your proportion of our edges.

Do you want to go off and do just just sit back and enjoy it. I'm the kind who would do it though that's a problem. Probably my character will tell you okay look what he says I have twice to your brain power with half my brain in both stock buyback I could take you one with many heretic tests at the same time in debate. If you are a fraidy cat that helps help this little insect pets so that's a pretty good one. Maybe we should have some callers recall when they say that the test that you know is escape insect insults scale 10 is a 5 to 4 to be interesting because after that about 98 or nine because it's got a good blend of stupidity irrationality insults just inconsistency in all kind of stuff on my goodness that was good. I enjoyed that one unit to me to be this refreshing. And if you'd rather listen to me talk like this boys got problems. That's right. That is true.

Let's get on the air here with Clay from North Carolina click welcome your of your brother matter.

Here you know.

Okay, could we call it low-grade mail. Right now I have a category called love and hate mail and I just read I can read some love.

They also I just I just could do that. Sometimes this is interesting about is fun, you know will your brother. You're always the Lord is leading you to always bring court scripture work report there. Kurt remembered her fair does not know the Lord okay NOW because they don't have the Lord in their life and they want to get there. You know I'm so grateful to the Lord for you because you know you bring out the stuff that probably nobody offering what got me and I will walk alongside you and help you do that, I don't mean I know you got your brother commanded you what you're doing. I heard earlier I called and brother Noble have a call into the show that he does report a problem drinker. I will treat radio that your own from I heard I heard an understanding that you could be going to get impeached for a possible third, have you heard anything about that. You know what I heard that you try to do something that's deathly afraid to trust me just trying to deliver the campus. It just shows you how unethical the left is how cowardly they are.

You know they can't write in fairly they have to throw elections they have to choose people of racism all the time there.

Freda Trump they do whatever they can to sustain his name now and then they take people who invited into the capital on January 6 by the police that were there.

Though there they now rested is as is insurrectionist.

You don't compare your brother I got. I went to Raleigh here.

Raleigh area and how it could Freda Brantley and I got to hear godly man you were senators and you are on the Gen. assembly house of representatives and I got to hear them say that we need to unite: we say that we are Christian we need to unite and bring all that affordably all that out and you know honestly I want, and I think each one of them and I look at them and I said not only your point. In this position, the Lord appointed to you, but that your knowing he'd anointed you to be here in our tell you brother if you really yeah they say that we were were awake but to be afraid and fearful and scared of certain things, I'm just really prayerful of the continuum that is continuing to go along with you really should be happening but I mean they're good how you know what works because of all the stuff is going on working and try to drive That we need to have in our knowledge of the and if it's like I would share with somebody earlier I said I don't feel that they care about our family care about is felt to give themselves 130% rate like that. I don't think a square but you know what I thank you and what you do, I thank you for what you say what you lay on the table because it read Scripture is altering the glycated like that I can and I shared it with somebody yesterday and we may be unite unite with each other, alongside each other and be good people that the Lord is created us to be. Because you know from what I'm hearing from a few more people in the character that we are getting closer and closer to God the father tenant air combat the that's right. And you know what a good thing is a lot of people are certain to come together and one things I want to do is start collecting praise reports and talk about some praise reports of how I think it's like 30 states or something like that are now posting or moving towards constitutional carrier already passed laws for that. That's a good thing, and a few third are becoming more aware of the stub ballot stuffing deeper are more more concerned about this.

People are hurt. Conservatives are getting in on the ground level of politics and local school boards. This is good stuff was happening. I got more here and forget everything you do will Dr. draw. God bless you folks vitalize but to give me a call 87720776 max Y call 77077 charismatic slave get on the air with their Michael. I've got a pretty general question for an evening what one thing you wish you knew before you started apologetic when I was going to go in with my future was Kennedy's plan enough. I wish you and Linda which included a doctorate. For example, and and I still want to doesn't have the time of the money doctorate delight thing I found most valuable is three things actually logic is very very important and theology and the logic of theology and Scripture memorization. These are the things that are the foundation.

My opinion of apologetics is not a single praying that the spiritual side which is those things that we can work on is is those you have any books or resources other than your wonderful website for someone interested in beginning apologetic, while I got some books written a good coat go to see Amazon it just type in actually to go to the homepage. I believe see if I do this, the homepage will see on the current site you'll see the latest books by Matt slick and you click on that. It'll take you to the link of varying things I've I've written all the time. Trap is a sci-fi novel and it's it is not a theology is only one page would has a dialogue is useful in apologetics. It did with each of logic, but that's not worth the whole thing fits for that book is apologetics and atheism and atheist account so written Christian defense manual and so we have different things there, but I plan to be writing more specific things on doing apologetics is just a matter of the problem is I just have so many oars in the water that it's difficult to adjust to one long huge project to but you got got a lot of work.

I thank you for that. You two men will God bless and thinks they should call Scott all right hey folks, one of the lines you may call all you do is dial 877-207-2765 of the lines I want to hear from you give a call all right hate Québec's night milk as I am diamond. I like it I like it does. I got a question for you. Do you like the hate mail or do you like my reactions to the hate because that's what I've been told. Lately, people say that I like how you react to it and that's what they think is entertaining but nevertheless I'm curious about that is what I call upper limit of Marie with those in the chat room.

All right, so check this out. Let's see correction.

This is a an email okay correction if you love the Father Almighty don't base in the physical affliction because today in our generation today. Lucifer kills you in spiritual, not in spiritual.

If you cannot repent directly to the father.

Well, it's up to you. You have your choice of those on is a joyful because you know is like what's going on. A person is really not a right to think of it baby clearly articulate. I so while back on the Janet Mefford show and persistent wrote. I was shocked when your guest today lump the ordination of because I was forwarded to me. I was her guest and figures.

Go to this email's been around in the hate area. I was shocked when your guest today lump the ordination of women pastors and elders with her dating active homosexual pastors as a sign of apostasy. Your shocked will that mean you don't know your Scriptures. Homosexuality is a sin and women pastors and elders is forbidden in Scripture and why would you want to do that. Women pastors and elders is wrong. Folks, it's wrong in the Bible does not support the Bible speaks against it. But you know what's happening.

People don't care, and the I have some feelings about this. Let's let the feelings trump Scripture all that woman is called by God to be a pastor over the woman has gifting's also the scope, I experience you lovable and once again here we go. After 17 years of her being on radio five days a week. I'm gonna once again off to debate someone of a company representative of that position for women pastors and elders over the debate titled, does the Bible support within pastors and elders. That's but despite my polite debate if you're a pastor out there is a Matt you're wrong okay let's debate that have a public debate on it using Scripture. Let's do that. And guess what, they won't take me up on it. Why do you think that this because they know will go to Scripture. In with okay so he was on why did you not catch this. He is biblically wrong and from his attitudes about preaching to congregations.

He sounded arrogant and condescending he could. He was on I was quite appalled at his statement and know that God is not pleased how I love talking. If you plug it in real time to say I know God is not pleased with you. Okay, why because you speak against women pastors and elders. All right, then that means that women pastors numbers biblical right.

That's begin get Scripture right middle that's right show to me in Scripture and also need to hear the wheels coming off their cart.

You can find.

They might quote a verse or two of the Old Testament, Deborah started pastor and elder, and I've done this so many times over the years.

Show me in Scripture and guess what, they don't. And guess why because it's not there but the contrary is he was on. I would like I would take too much of it would take too much to show you here at that show you here that women in leadership is biblically sound and settle to God's heart for the body to function know it's not as a spirit chooses to give gifts and raise a women to lead… He's not quoting Scripture adult sexual sin by leaders is always biblically wrong apostasy and times falling away much of this is based on not acknowledging Jesus as God's salvation through him alone with his word as authority never live down. Now he's making some sense authorities was worth authority unless absolutely so I would ask a person will find a women pastors in the Bible shows one woman pastor chose one woman elder the Bible that deal with the verses that says an elder and older pastor. The elder must be under music when I cost the husband of one wife, a man of one woman has it that woman. Maybe nowadays it could define so as I was shocked and dismayed to hear his words, pride and division are tools of Satan and this man will have to answer for his accusation and sin and you will have to answer for not confronting this lie.

I won't be listening to your show any longer because of Jesus in the oh Catherine is the one that makes sense anyway so there's that one.

They folks. We had a break, you want to give me a call at five open lines 877-2072] please stay tuned mass Y call 77077 charismatic slave right welcome back to the show five open lines.

Call 877-207-2276 okay so one of the things were talking about. Here's what the issue of apostasy that the hate mail individual.

Catherine didn't understand biblical theology in regard to open pastors and elders and once again offer the debate titled a big topic of anyone he wants to take me up on it. I don't have a tentative offer this over the years and just debate except it's so what are some of the signs apostasy in the Christian church. Let's go over a few of them and see what you may be think about your church is it there. I'm hopefully go to church or Selectman. Our church is great. So some the things of the problem would be denying the basic doctrines of the Christian faith, the Trinity, the deity of Christ, salvation by grace and because some of some time to teach that you have to do good work shortly say that apostasy to do good works to keep yourself right with God. That's apostasy. One of the shameful things is that of Protestantism is the countless denominational divisions and I still am reading my article. What are some signs of apostasy in the Christian church and so another problem in the Christian church that are currently so-called Christian churches of the ordination of homosexuals. Any church that would ordain a practicing homosexual is not a Christian church flat plastic falls women pastors and elders is a sign of apostasy in this and if you want to call me up and asked me why more detail.

I can explain it, not preaching the gospel.

Her first 2015 is that the Gospels, a death, burial and resurrection of Jesus.

The gospel is not a social reconstruction to change society. The gospel is not your sincerity before God. It's a death and resurrection.

Here's a one that a lot of Christians don't think about it, using the Lord's name in vain and I wouldn't know a lot of Christians over the years who will use his name and I pointed out to you just to show God's name in vain and no I didn't say you didn't explain.

And I've had to preach on it before, and over the years. Talk to many people about your sourcing.

Here's another set of apostasy, not sending out or failing to support missionaries cutting back unnecessarily and that we in violation of the great commission.

If you can afford to support ministry missionaries. I would get it, but the overall support missionaries in the church is not good to see marketing and merchandising a lot of time marketing and merchandising is the primary goal now not saying you can't have a T-shirts or units that you can't like at my books in on a graph looks a good Amazon.com and look up Matt slick and you'll see my books and so I can advertise those icosahedral chicken but you see that's not the primary goal of this if this is a ministry of apologetics. The defense of the Christian faith in marketing and stuff like that. That's medical.

We just use things like occasionally to help undercut the costs and and stuff with a lot of ministries where they push book after book after book the push tape after tape after tape is a constant revolving of things that are marketed that problem. Here's assigned apostasy is mean apostate. Just the thing to work on is pastors who are more concerned with growing the church than preaching the truth is a generic kind of a statement pastor should not be more concerned with going to church. They should be more concerned with preaching the truth and equipping the saints of the church that smaller and in the number as they preach the truth and so be it. Because success is not measured by how many people come units by how many people your equipping for the work of ministry and also pastors don't pray and seek God's face.

I'm supposed pastors to pray for me know if you're pastors you really don't pray much at all. Don't see God's face and counsel at the problem or pastors are given to pressure from the church and congregate encouraging the word of God that can happen because sometimes they might to the Carnation might want might want something is not the biblically best thing to do, and the pressure to cater that God is a good sign. They need to stay in the word of God hears what is my pet peeve for me. This is pastors who don't equip the congregation.

According the word of God are supposed to.

Bible says the pastors will to equip them for the work of ministry. Ephesians 412 get you know that was a do that pet peeve, especially from ethernet equipping them if it is babysitting. I want to Biggs guess most of the talk about their fourth in line to be want to give me a call 877-207-2276 Jamaal welcome you on here and I got Greg's brother Greg Bulawayo, but if I could sure start man is always really enjoy the show will go to God that you know allow you to know ministry out that we can learn from and empower us to know that the affair but what about great images that also includes pictures as a human that Outlook account is great. Okay, now you talk about what that means because it's important.

What is a graven image. The graven image in the Bible is something used for worship. It refers to a carved image, a constructed image of some sort in the purpose and in the with the religious dedication, fervor on your that belongs to God that's given to this image now of course the image is not there. God you talk to so intimately that the image there holding her hand. Is there God but it's a representation of the God and so graven images are those things used in religious worship where honor is given and centrality is given to that image, and it's not to happen so you know I have two crosses one metal, one would and occasionally aware across is not a graven image. I don't use it in my worship I don't lay it on my bed when I get on my knees and lay before me with my hands on and start praying. I don't do that and I pray to my Lord.

I don't need any implements. I don't need any images or need anything and personally I don't like any images of Jesus in my house. I don't want any false image to be present of him, so I so what you have crossed such prominently visible in the house we come in and the people in the Christian and that's about it and stuff.

So if we but a crucifix where Jesus is still in the cross of the Catholic faith. Technically I would call you I would call it idolatry or graven image, because you're not using it if if they're not using it as a focus of worship of a focal point of worship that's that's bad if you just if it's something they have okay I wouldn't call it idolatry, and I would never have one way and in Alyssa's research and just searching having to I would ever wear anything like that because he's not on the cross is stuff like that and attribute gracious about it and stuff when were crossword across many go from good, like what you look for the elderly. No questions, no you may not like writing. Be honest though out, wondering if I made an kind of rerouted me from what God is asking if they have yet made on on a different trajectory. Yes Jim what garbage we had mob in the blood that they had to admit that Greg Miller looked at public got buttons or other but yet morning as possible.

Okay, you say you going to seminary to be pastor right you can serve the Lord. Let's say that if there's an individual attack. I can tell you that I knew of a gentleman in seminary and it was dealt with not maliciously, not with anger. It was discovered he was slipping into homosexuality and so they stepped in and officials found out they were very kind and very loving and said sorry but units of that's that. This is not permitted to record the rules that you signed and so he was politely removed from seminary. So an action can have a consequence, they will hold the writeback for frontline 77276 the mass Y call 77077 charismatic slave back to the show was great. 72276 Jamaal you still there. Alright, so graven images so that the did that answer that because when we talk about that question was a question with another step in the right you where you from your territory now and you not when you say that you remind me of certain things in my past that I think cost me an answer is I guess regrets a huge regrets, but I know that God is sovereign through them and not surprised by anything we can still be used. I just might use us over here suitable for their and molasses in that so we make mistakes. Absolutely I can cut consequence. Actually, I knew a guy for example he was going into ministry and a good Christian man and married a great Christian woman and he told me the story of what happened, where he was at somebody's house and party was going on. No big deal and he had a little bit of a drink and all the more he wasn't thinking distinctly and he had too much and he end up committing adultery because of what and his wife divorced him and he says there's no one to blame but himself and wasn't justifying anything he said this is what happened was a situation he was in the lake that control and it destroyed at the direction of his life he can have effects so we discover user can and we mess up face it we move forward to towards you.

Please keep me from sin and what I have failed.

Please work through it anyway and he sovereign King okay good or better godlessness. Hey folks through the lines 877-207-2276 look at adjacent from Virginia. Welcome Jason on your mat straight to the question as I can but give you little back story.

I grit my great-grandfather was a United brethren pastor.

But I also found out, not all that long ago that you like 1/32° Mason and if the defendant is been sort of like bugging me for a while like recently like a show called remnant radio did a program where they were talking about like really get into some of the spiritual stuff that the Masons are are into, and I was just had some question about the library I've heard your critique of the deliverance ministries and I know what your advice is on you like. Just making sure I bring properly right now that I'm not like bringing down any kind of like my okay so what you do is he just talk to the Lord and I think it's a good idea to verbally denounce the heritage any possible connections speak out of ignorance we don't know what might have been done.

You don't know what connections might've been made. You don't know the present day effects there might be an just talk to the Lord. I like the idea speaking out loud, and things like that you can do it quietly right okay I just noticed something just more better. You know about writing out loud. Things like that.

Handlers and just go through and renounce nothingness of various times in my life just to reassure you might of my past that I was involved specifically and directly in my own flesh in some very sinful things and I've gone through and not repaired it repeatedly like eight times a day and for years, but you know every few years as a come back just to visit this again and Lord talk renounced all this and that's what you gotta do is renounce and enema saying that it's needed because your child of God and bright Mason stuff. It's of the darkness. We don't know the submit by clicking a talk in the grids. We don't know if there might be a spiritual connection still hanging over you don't know so I just pray earth there is Lord after something I just don't know about speaking ignorantly. I don't know. Please would you please repeat redirected her, but send your angels to help are put upon my heart with the pray for you just ignorantly depending on God pleading with him renouncing anything you could think of that might be connected and just move forward. That's good will give you the other question I had in relation was because one of the things that this guy was talking about, you save a lot of time waiting things again. I don't want to get your take on it. If it from yelling by better than if you've already had it that you need to you that your Need to do their own renunciation, or whatever, but if you haven't had it yet that you broken a lot idea is that you see that it be a biblical work and you know I like to err on the side of more caution.

I do not he that not to keep salvation. That's ridiculous, but writing in things like that. You know it's open yet. Yeah, I'm also like you.

It I'm not worried about salvation of anybody yet but I'm I'm thinking in terms of like you know about spiritual warfare is a very confusing thing you get it that the rules are are hard to figure out it is it is and with things like that.

You take it to the Lord and speak to him don't speak to the demonic forces for this narrative masonry you just talk to the Lord and lay it all before. Best you can and and and and speak the ignorance about the quality is not sure talk talk about God with it and about it and is move forward and you be surprised it is refreshing in its it's helpful you.

I know how to stop when nursing like I don't know how this works, Lord. I'm just looking to you right here.

Some of these people that are like you like grant people that they have a lot of experience in praying with people through the active shooter family Eric.

I've always feel it is like a volley here. My experience with my what I pick up from the Scripture seems like God of very end of simplicity in the future working with them you're pretty gotten it done require a lot of formula all the time. Both I and I know sometimes the formulas are helpful for how I don't know that's what I really wanted to get your take on it. I know your Kate I know you're charismatic but are you submitting at the biblical and right now I'm in a kind of place where like I believe in the charismatic Clean the abuses up until it right now you know it's very patient.

So if it got annoyed.

It feels lonely sometimes it does and that's what it is you know exist when it is and I like I you move forward in and say this would not have me right now.

That's yet you gotta do look like you Matt. I appreciate everything that I love your show. Just keep doing what you're doing then God bless you and things like God's grace. Appreciate me all right let's get on the air with let's see how the O in the airline is only as long as and let's get to Clinton from Glenn welcome mat doing all right. By God's grace we got 20 Eight 2012. And learn how well and saying to you that many shall come from me let you sit down. A man, Isaac, and Jacob making them of heaven. In verse 12 of the children of the kingdom shall be cast out. The other darkness they should be weeping and gnashing of teeth affirmation on thinking that haven't. And it doesn't make it north and south of God's throne is in the North and South are representing weeping and gnashing so makes a distinction between Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, which we all know who they are downloading the children of the kingdom doesn't dictate two groups of people now make another third group. He didn't name but he said Manny now. I was born and that that that nanny is like people of faith, considered Jesus is addressing its interior narrative state social question, glad you yeah near Allegan at the naming wouldn't you think of that many CCE triggered a little something in it because there is something that very few people know about in Scripture and how identical words and phrases can be used for opposite thing and work or conduct contrasting things like Romans 518 oculus the simpler when first visiting 22 in Adam all die in Christ all submit alive, though the word all can't be the same. All you can't mean the same thing when you go to Romans 519. For example, read that and it says here is what the menu right as for as through one man's disobedience the many were made sinners, even so through the bid into the one the many will be made righteous.

While the same phrases used in two different ways right there in Romans 518 so then, as through one transgression. The resulted condemnation to all men, even so through lack of righteousness.

The resulted justification of life to all men post the phrase all men can't be the same and so the phrase sent to the kingdom.

Matthew 812 but the sons of the kingdom will be cast into outer darkness.

Okay. But that phrase occurs in another place because this is a sons of the kingdom or cast an outer darkness that CI does have its son's of the kingdom.

Ricoh and 20 Ricoh Sollecito and Matthew.

It says in the field is the world and as for the good seed, these are the sons of the kingdom. So the good seed in Matthew 13 is a sons of the kingdom, but in Matthew eight.

This is of the kingdom will be casted outer darkness of the exact same phrase is used in different senses and I don't know of any other theologian apologists, whose brought this out. And who says that the there are several cases in the Scripture were identical words and couplets.

Phrases mean different things at a time. On Monday we can talk more about ice. I'm sorry plaintiff foundation to talk about something that a time. I forgot separate we could okay brother right.

I okay you folks the Lord bless you and by his grace back on your another program powered by the Truth Network
