Dr. Brown Takes Your Calls

Polarizer open, I'm back from Korea.

Let's do this. You've got questions, we've got answers stage for the line of fire with your host activist and author, international speaker and theologian Dr. Michael Brown your voice of moral cultural and spiritual revolution Michael Brown is the director of the coalition of conscience and president of fire school of ministry get into the line of fire now by calling 866-34-TRUTH. That's 866-34-TRUTH here again is Dr. Michael Brown thanks for joining us and keeping me company as I go through my late afternoon lag moment here and want to find Michael Brown delighted to be with you.

So sorry we couldn't be with you live during the week was an unusual trip I took during the week. Korea really felt the Lord was in it and so eager to take your call to me live with you today 866-34-TRUTH 7884 tell you a bit more about the trip in a moment but just glorify the Lord or transform my life almost 5 years ago now in helping me go to completely healthy. No exceptions to the rule diet the way I'm thriving physically is this such a godsend and I'm so grateful to him. We left my house of about 5 o'clock on Sunday.

My assistant Dylan and I and then flew to Atlanta then we had a long layover in for some hours in Atlanta and got on the plane flatter on midnight but to flight attendants had misread their flight schedules never heard of this like them and submit his first time captain was just honest the pilot giving us the information. What actually happened us so we had to wait for the flight attendants dresses about three in the morning before we took off so steady getting in there for something in the morning and my first meeting at 1030. We which would give me a couple hours to crash it in its 13 hour time differential their right so tell me Rod got to the hotels by the 30 so that meant time to unpack, take a shower literally laid out maybe 10 minutes and then go and speak that with 13 hour time differential and 26 and half hours travel and did the message went out from there to lunch than that with people privately and then after that preached again with bigger strength with grace and people were astonished and this how you doing I said God's grace healthy lifestyle. So praise the Lord and got in last night.

Oh maybe about 1230 some like that in the morning so be home at like 15 hours get a good night sleep as family in town for the big graduation tonight. Our granddaughter Eliana. First of our grandkids to graduate high school. Yeah right 866-34-TRUTH that is number to call, believing that we have a line open great time to call in now very rare on a Friday night, we started in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

Aron welcomes the line of fire. Want to get your scholarly opinion on David Roland Mahoney use latest documentary with a try to present the case that the proto-Sinai attic language is possibly a form of early Hebrew, see what your take was on the yet so I didn't get to see the movie but they're building on the work of one Semitic scholar in particular and the argument would be that these would be inscriptions.

The so-called proto-Sinai attic inscriptions that go back to the Israelites when they were slaves in Egypt and everyone agrees that they are early pictographs that they are the earliest form of the language before the script gets more fixed and it's in its Phoenician form and then comes into Hebrew for this we know it is, as Paley O Hebrew. So the old heap. Other people think Heather Hebrew is a language. This is the form of the script is a soul that is the old form of the script so the proto-Semitic inscriptions have been notoriously difficult to translate and decipher that's problem one, then problem two is to trace their origins so I I am open to that possibility it in. In other words, it's a fascinating thesis and the scholar behind it is written on it extensively is a legitimate Semitic scholar. Now it goes against the views of the majority of Semitic scholars, but it's not one of these loony intranet theories that someone just baked up and the folks involved with the most controversy really dug into it seriously. So I I started to look into it a bit more but what it takes Aron to be honest is really serious investment of time and energy as a Semitic specialist really digging deep and that's not something that I can do as a partner, or to have the belief that I'm going to know better than some of the stomach scholars looking for some kind of watching to see reviews of the scholarship that's out there to watch the give-and-take and some of the critical interaction and then to try to look at that see the ones that are really investing the time and energy, so it's a fascinating thesis and it's not impossible, and it it it does have support from a recognized Semitic scholar. Okay, so it's not one of these fantasies and just some Christians made some documentary on sub some crazy sensational Internet stuff, but I I don't know that any of us can in a decisive way, say yay or nay, based on the scant evidence that exists. Aron, did you see the movie yourself.

Okay what what was I was you watched it out. What how compelling the things seem to just from whatever background you have my background mainly computer science and math so tart but whenever I watched the most compelling evidence when they follow the path that though the older subscriptions are found in Egypt and in the newer ones are found in Canaan so I think like the language migrated with the right so that that saga speech right so that that's the thing that's that's a strong case can be made for.

That's kind of recognized it. In other words, that you do have going from this proto-Senate. It inscriptions then to what would be proto-Canaanite inscriptions so Phoenician and Hebrew are both Canaanite dialects. Isaiah 19 Hebrew spoken of as spot cannot on the language of Canaan. So that is true you have them here in Egypt and you have them here in Canaan. So is it that the Israelites really Egypt and his life came to Canada.

That would be an interesting theory, but beyond that, so I'm just going to kind of watch discussion among scholars and see who can bring more compelling evidence, but it's certainly worth looking into for sure.

And then there's that backup of the claims about the historicity of the Exodus of the Mosaic authorship of the Pentateuch. Those within secondary issues, but thank you for the call and I appreciate it all right 866-34-TRUTH of your Dave in Toledo Ohio. Welcome to the line of fire. Well, thank you very much. I really love what you do. I listen to you a lot you much every episode and remodeling a house on Saturday I was five in a row, but I am in a call you out on something. Both please. I will wait and allow to talk about this so I've been involved in vineyard for decades had songs published through vineyard music and traveled spoken conferences with them and all that but I'm in a call you out on tongues.

Okay. And here's why. And I I've spoken in tongues.

I've done it during worship, which I think is not biblical now, but so basically the strong definition for tongue and asked to the language or dialect used by a particular people distinct from that of other languages.

Okay select the language that people spoke. There were 16 languages that came out of the disciples in acts two.

None of them were just gibberish okay so in your opinion, I should use the word gibberish. I don't mean that demeaning but I just a funky language that nobody on the earth speak with it, but so what. This movement let's move funky in this we can say no. I know I know you have heard you a lot say that you love speaking in tongues and is blessed you and your prayer a lot and I anyway. Prayer language that sustained outside the derogatory derogatory words of kindly personality anyway but anyways not assert when did it become what it is today in the Bible. I called you before, does God always feel what you said are you basing it on your experience or what the Bible teaches right and although I've studied it further. I think that Jesus walked away from many sick people at the pool of Bethesda but all that to say is I think you're basing your theology on what tongues become today.

Not unscriptural, but on your experience and I did to it. I spoke in tongues a lot but I just don't think I think yeah this is how I pointed it become just the language that doesn't really exist on earth right so the first thing is is quite the opposite. I buy base my theology in tongues 100% on Scripture. My experience is quite secondary to that and other ways for Jesus healing. The question is this you have refused to heal, and that with food. Bethesda, for sure, he goes and heals one walks away with this. He refused.

You don't think there are people around him that said oh you want me to know that you have no right or wrong.but who knows us a question. Who knows, is the question that we don't face the theology on who knows so we don't need to go to strong stiffness, raising the word Gossett is his tongue were language right so this is knowing that when it is says a particular people. The thing to forget what why would we not go to strong because Strong's is a concordance I want to insult you, but Strong's concordance, you don't go in accordance with the diff you never align the dictionary back strong in an actual dictionary Greek lexicon. Okay, don't echo I rise I can crave that right strong sick and going" mean men language. Language okay just one word language. Language tongue. That's what it means. So I say that the speaking many times many languages. That's all.

So we know what happened there and asked to doesn't tell us what happened next 10 Annex 19 whether the languages were known, but Paul expands on it for strengthens 14 efforts within its 13 pieces of I speak in the tongues of men or angels. Is this right language of angels, babies, possibility.

But here's what he says pursue offer strings.

14. Pursue love, and earnestly desire the spiritual gifts especially may prophesy for one who speaks in a tongue weeks not to man, but to God, for no one understands him. But here's the other's mysteries. The spirit right one speaks in a tongue builds up himself with one prophesies builds up the church and then you need someone was a gift of interpretation policy so you need someone who knows the language with someone who has that gift right in and then he's he's explaining elsewhere. He says I thank God that I speak in tongues more than all of you said but in in the church.

I would rather speak five words with understanding and 10,000 words in an unknown tongue and then he also refers to praying with his spirit and praying with his mind right singing praise with his spirit forcing lose my soul and he says it. If I get if I pray with my spirit was good understand hundred and thanks for my spirit.

Nobody can say amen because even understand what happens when we speak in tongues is our spirit speaking to God language. We will file the line of fire with your host Dr. Michael Brown get into the minor fire now by calling 866-34-TRUTH dear again is Dr. Michael Brown got answers live today back from Korea. So David Toledo just to finish up everything in first Corinthians 14 tells me that this is a language not understood by human beings that were praying with our spirit. He says his mind is unfruitful. So I'll pray with my spirit of prayer with money also references singing in the spirit giving thanks in the spirit, but that we may be edify, but others are therefore public usage or from him deliver a message there has to be someone who can interpret who has that gift of some of the knows the language because it says in first Corinthians 14 earlier, no one understands speaking mysteries to God so that's what I base it on.

Now that being said, I I've heard far languages spoken many times and it sounds like gibberish to me is that all the language I've had people translating for me thinking that can't possibly be a language you're saying this for some sounds are foreign to us, zooming us on the language. So Paul makes a clearly your your issues with first with his 14 out with me.

Now I yeah I I get that I I'm not, so I'm not sure that I looked up in the break in the Greek lexicon that I found the exact same definition. But that's fine, we could differ on that year. The expert.so I'm as good for you, and I've heard that explanation before from you but I did it just seems like what the apostles were given but I was just you clearly didn't. Let's deal with the correct correct but it's the same God who inspires the same God who inspired that was his choice. My reggae change because his language. It's not one was known languages.

One was an unknown line which is their different purposes and others want. Praying alone. Why do I need to be proclaiming the praises of God in Arabic for a Muslim to hear in some other part of the world on praying to God alone.

That's the whole purpose but really what you need to do. Dave is which and what you need to do is you need to take it up with first Corinthians 14 and the Lord because there he lays out in detail in explicitly right and by the way. Some claim that the miracle was not the language that the miracle was that people heard that it was a miracle appearing is never the other people can hear anything.

They just thought that they were they were mocking right but hey keep listing and reason for strengthens 14 several times on your knees and ask God for insight and see if we get with you and go back to speaking in tongues and praising God in tongues should be edify if you do then you can edify and help others right 866-34-TRUTH and by the way here of just just look at some different words for four Xhosa tongue right so a tongue or a language so that see the Freiberg analytical Greek so you just mean tongue physical tongue right by metonymy tribe people nation that speaks, language is a religious technical term for glossolalia, tongue speaking and distributors. The be unintelligible, ecstatic utterance heavenly language or far languages though not learned, etc. so those are meanings there, although neither semantic lexicon tongue. Okay so just are episodes of game at first means tongue rights of this tongue like language is tongue like tongue. There for Greek lexicon tongue member of the body.

A tongue that is the language used by particular people and distinction from that of other nations. That's where you get when you said strong as was actually there. Is there or to speak with new tongues, which is because not learned previously, etc. so, and in any case tongue is like this is exactly the same as our word tongue in English that I can talk about physical tongue in my mouth or tongue meaning French or German or tongue meaning speaking in this divinely inspired language 866-34-TRUTH our friend Isaac at Hollywood Florida. Looking back to the line of fire again. I might do, but I know Greg is probably coming up that you don't have time to whatever I budgeted the tradition that you mention beginning of Matthew chapter exact resident in all that or do something that was only present in the first century really my map and connect additional deny tradition yet so you have traditions that are referred to in the New Testament that were not in writing at that time but are now written in the Mishnah or the birth of Seth, the or other literature.

For example, in John nine what is Jesus turned dirt into mud and then tell the God put on the guys eyes tongues wash up.

Once you do that on the Sabbath.

We know from the Mishnah which is recorded couple hundred years later that it was considered work to turn dirt into mud so needing right Kate and and and then to apply something medicinally in a nonemergency setting was considered work on the Sabbath. So Jesus would've broken two traditions and and that's I believe he didn't intentionally break in human tradition that was getting in the way of the meaning and purpose of the Sabbath, or to show that there traditions were more important. Recognizing him as the son of God. There other things that we have from literatures in the Dead Sea Scrolls. Various debate about Sabbath laws and the document for work you MMT of things. Things like that of I give the right citation there so there you may have something referenced in the New Testament that is not codified in later rabbinic tradition, but we have other Jewish traditions. We know of the Caribbean of the Essenes gibbon Sadducees could have another group therapy tire others, but for the most part the traditions that are referenced in the New Testament. You can then find later recorded in the Mishnah tradition.

Are you aware of. So are you talking about that the washing of hands now but start with but what about the sorry I I thought yet so there there is some debate yet. Sorry, but that there that's what I thought you referring to has the answer along those lines because the handwashing we we know know to this day is ritual that this ritual handwashing. There is some debate as to exactly what Jesus was referring to when he talked about the sacrifice and saying it was it was a core bond. A gift from God and therefore you didn't have to to honor parents in a certain way of exactly was referring to.

So if if you look for example, I just got it coming up on my screen here in the second. The simplest thing to do when you're looking up background questions like that this if you had one source that you needed to go to you.

We go to Craig Keener's Bible background commentary and because of give you what debate is this the one source and the plentiful commentaries that I get into this in depth so there is a debate as to exactly what is referred to some would say it's reflective here and those who question it.

So it's it's one of those debatable things in terms of exactly how it plays out. Some do believe there is evidence that suggests this is exactly as referring to another saying it was a tradition that it remember there's no use writing to it to an audience whose contemporary okay because you got it you know in Mark's gospel. The seventh chapter's writing to an audience that you talking know 30 years or so of of the life and death and resurrection of Jesus that you like to create something like the American tradition of of of a chocolate pie that everyone eats on Mother's Day. Is that what you talking about what tradition of chocolate pie so that's that's why there is strong evidence to believe these things. But anyway, your second question real quick.

Yet when the Bible called like that merely a relative good and it hurt everyone else mean that by believing in God, the got credit right Christ.

That was it's both. In other words, it's not the full imputation of the righteousness of Christ assume something that obviously wouldn't be a fun of in the Old Testament, but it is implying that this person trusts God. That's the first and foremost that that righteous person Susan Truscott and then lives a life in reference of this God. So when some is called righteous. Yet there is not perfectly righteous. There were even. Ecclesiastes 7 says is that a righteous man on the earth. He does was right and the sin that is not perfectly righteous in Osama Proverbs 20. Who can say have made my heart pure and clean from sin, and yet there are people are called righteous and even though that Zechariah, Elizabeth, for example, Luke one says that they were there were righteous.

According to the law. They kept the commandments of Paul referred himself in Philippians 3. According to legalistic righteousness, faultless. But the short answer is, these are people who trusted God and live lives that that were were David Osgood was obvious he not perfectly good. Obviously, needing atonement needing forgiveness needing mercy but righteous by faith and by conduct all you can have one without the other you would live a righteous life before God by conduct. If you didn't believe him. If you believe them you would live differently, so faith and and obedience as two sides of the same coin, but certainly righteous. They it was a source called righteous. They live differently than others that they turn from evil to dinner. It was good. Why because they believe God put their trust in him other thing is without an atonement system, you still fall short support of the trust in God is trusting him for mercy and grace are hey I printed a questions Isaac publisher 866-34-TRUTH you want that's funny if I'm correct Isaac first reach out to us as a Jewish man seeking truth about the Messiah, and if I'm quite having questions about the book of Exodus and in the historicity of the Exodus account so beyond 16 years old so obviously this was some years ago and I can hear the change invoice will bless Isaac a grade 3 with you on your journey. In his college years right 866-34-TRUTH is this, we come back we go straight to the phones, but thanks for praying for the trip to Korea.

I did four meetings there and then had some private time over lunch in individual meetings with folks I went because it was a Christian women's conference for Israel. Although expected 300 women per 11,000 people that were there in the most of the meetings and with less spot.

I went to thank the Korean church for supporting Israel in prayer, believing that God was going to deepen the connection with the salvation of the Jewish people.

So we had graduation or ministry school. Sunday daughter Eliana graduated from high school. Life is long trip.

There right 866-34-TRUTH led us go to your right. We welcome Jeremy, let's go to TJ in Kansas City, Missouri. Welcome to the line of fire.

Brown, you're very welcome.

I heard and I don't agree with me. I believe I did anything. John, I think that I think many people believe that family there looking for an explanation for the injected benefit Lena and Derek that I don't agree with that client know this area. Back African people are black people are from the lineage and and that we effort are as a result of Derek and Kurt at Lake based on it, and I get a cane and maybe that guy wanting a bird that theory and early on. Yes, so to TJ, first let me say that when I confronted the Black Hebrew Israelites, the streets of New York City many years ago in the early 90s I was doing an outreach for Times Square church that Saturday night, I was walking the streets of the city of Richmond to bind the believer and anyway they were there this request for some ever encountered them with the PA system shouting out there. The rhetoric and and confronting them at that I failed to calculate. I was only white person of the crowd's foresight started. They started to though everyone started for me death to America, death of a white man at the ruins of the white guy there. What I told him was that the Blacks and Jews had a connection that were both freed slaves and there was about both a special console and character that that we needed each other rather Christmas hostility. We need each other, the Jesus priest religion of love and they were preaching religion of hate, but the idea that Blacks or the cursed descendents of Canaan was an idea that was used by white slave owners in America professing Christians who use this to justify the oppression of black people. So it's is really a misuse of Scripture. And it's something that is very ugly and should not be perpetuated because it gives an impression that Blacks or Africans have rightly been enslaved because of the curse that was put on them and so that that's ugly it's not historically correct in it and it should be rejected. The Canaanites are not connected to the African people, and there is no possible justification for enslaving other people's. So no III do not accept that in and you should know. Again, the history is is of of using that interpretation from Genesis 9 is been very negative. History it's been one it's been used was enslaved and oppressed people, but I appreciate you calling with the question future very much. You you're welcome 866-34-TRUTH hate this quick update of always asked in the first half-hour, but the movie the most is controversy in the idea that the proto-Senate inscriptions in Egypt actually found in mines in Egypt actually or proto-Hebrew and that that it would point back to the antiquity of Hebrew Semitic language so it's it's mainly Dr. Douglas Petrovich whose associated with that theory is a Semitic scholar. It in fact there is there is a review by Alan Millard Allen middle Alan Millard is is a Christian scholar and and one of the top Christian Semitic scholars Syria colleges and there's a circular cup Alan Millard MA MI LL a R a D.

And Douglas Petrovich PTR oh BIC H all he has a very very strong critique of Petrovich's position to just to let you know he's he's writing this as a Christian and as a Semitic scholar.

All right, 866-34-TRUTH led us all right.

Let's try to reconnect with Jeremy in Baton Rouge if we lost you. I think we got your back welcome to the broadcast I got you so much shot my my question is really in regard to a perspective on the filling of the Holy Spirit, affecting filling of course pulses in first Corinthians 1213 you don't want. We believe we have the spirit of God's dwelling within us and the typical charismatic understanding of acts to the promise of the father that we would be indwelling Holy Spirit as something separate.

So my question is Wayne Gruden. I believe John frameless is like the ologies they argue against that.

One of course pushed Presbyterian and Baptist traditions on and and and one of the things that they cite is that a quote second filling is would create a close second class for subpar Christian experience or Christian. I am just curious of your email your view on matter what your perspective is all you that and what your understanding is on the actual baptism. Those who cannot see them as two separate yet encounters with God.

Ephesians 518. Here's what you should do so, first with pins 12 doesn't say that the consummation are integral for the spirit rather than by one Spirit were baptized into the body of Christ by the Messiah that thing said restricting six does tell us that our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit.

Therefore, I believe that every child of God. The moment they're born again. They are indwelt of the spirit has Romans 816, the, the of the. The Holy Spirit bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God. The question is, is there a subsequent empowering.

Is there a closing with the spirit, is that pointed to in acts eight that you had the believers in Samaria saved but they hadn't received the spirit yet until hands were laid on them and that there was a notion that there would be a clear reception of the spirit that first group that acts 19. Paul asked that the believers in these references, you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed her since you believe indicating that there was some reception of the spirit so my own experience was at Sagan Pentecostal church that I knew I was say born again child of God is essay does anybody else on the planet and yet not having received the empowerment of the Spirit in the supernatural way which then came some weeks later night for smoking times during the 24th 72 and that was the outward sign that empowerment and then I'm grown praying in tongues in communion with God and experience in demonstration of that power. Sam storms is a new book out on tongues and I wrote an endorsement for its great book answers the major questions, but he would differ with me. There I was endorsed because it's a great book and here's an area where we can differ so Wayne Gruden believes and speak in tongues and the gifts of the spirit for today but my understanding is that there is a subsequent empowerment. Now here's the thing you could say that it could lead to someone saying that that will you're experiencing something I'm not. But that doesn't make one second class.

That means that there's more to having got example. Not everyone is called to leadership some occult to leave.

Those are called to be in submission to to those leaders in a healthy way.

It doesn't mean that one is more safe than the other one is higher than the other. Just various functions and gifts. Holiness is the first Corinthian's 12 that sometimes the more important parts of the body are the ones that that are hidden that we take better care of so II do see a subsequent empowering. I see Luke 11 telling us to ask for the Holy Spirit why we asking for the Holy Spirit if if it's automatic.

Upon salvation, so I do see a subsequent empowering and and therefore even though were equally saved and equally children of God, there's always more that God is offering us what one more thing and follow-up elbow had what what what someone asked me in conversation with the cessation of potentially is the argument that comes back is minimal not understand your arguing from experience, which I don't think I am. But then say no once you're saying you have all of God. There's really nothing else to be added to it that I'm pointing back. Ephesians 518.

Some just curious :-) 19 beef be filled with the spirit.

It is an ongoing thing and that was unlike yes it could be talking about a first empowerment experience, but it seems we talk about in an ongoing way that we should be little light live a life that is being filled with the spirit either. I look at not experience for Scripture first so I see the disciples or save man they haven't received the empowerment of the Spirit. Luke 2440 9X18 right to life. The second chapter and then I see acts eight civil they were Samaritans. The apostles had a sanction insulation set so Philip preached to them and they were saved. God sanction them by giving them new hearts. God sanction them by by human life forgiven their sins. They had not yet received the spirit there was obviously something tangible about receive the spirit and then in Simon the sorcerer sees that through the laying on of hands, the spirit was given something tangible happened right and then again in acts 19 so I would point to the pattern. The book of acts, and then say it's interesting that begin again in the mid-1800s as the Holy Spirit is poured on Indian different places that people were seeking empowerment. They knew there was more, and you have the lives of finny in the lives of moody without tongues, but they they talked about the need for empowerment and they sort out early. Earnestly, many Christians through the centuries, they cried out to see if they could call it the line of fire with your host activist, author, international speaker and theologian Dr. Michael Brown voice of more cultural and spiritual revolution get into the line of fire now by calling 6643 here again is Dr. Michael Brown question and answer live back from create.

I guess I like to get your opinion on what exactly do you think happened with that whole proclaiming to the imprint. But it seems to me like at least the early church had figured out that our baptism Blumenfeld's mother is a symbol of the us having victory over death and hell, just like Jesus. And I don't think for one second that he was just laying asleep in the grace of your opinion on what happened in yeah absolutely great questions Jacob, thank you so number one we do share it in the death and resurrection of Jesus. So we now participate with them as he died once and for all.

We die so we died to sin symbolically going down in the water right so it is a death to sin and now we live a new life in Jesus. So he died for our sins, but put them to death of the cross so there is a dying to send in a rising up and with that a dying to the power of sin and the rising up a new life, so that in Jesus we can appropriate victory over sin. We do not have to be slaves to sin. Now first Peter three tells us it doesn't say that he evangelized it doesn't use the Greek word for preach the gospel. Rather, he preached him a declaration to the spirits in prison.

So what happens is, after Jesus death on the cross he descends into the netherworld and we have the apostles Creed sending to hell right. He descends into the netherworld and proclaims his victory over the spirits that disobeyed in those days, so the Angels that fell that disobeyed in Noah's day. They were kept in chains in prison and he declares in the netherworld. I am he.

II have the keys of hell and death.

I have triumphed and then he rises from the dead makes a public demonstration over all the demonic powers of darkness, Satan and his minions, etc. so, give, the more we understand his victory and his is dying and then descending into the netherworld and the clearing his victory and then is ascending into heaven think every every demonic power. All the forces of Satan must've been a raid at that moment to stop the resurrection and the cut same Holy Spirit that raised him up raises us up in Jesus. Yeah, absolutely, amazingly, praise God. So yes Jacob we share in that victory over over sin over death and that since I was to be physically die, but we've already been given eternal life. Much appreciated.

866-34-TRUTH for truth. I was going to heaven.

I want Kevin, let's go to CJ Moreau. They're dropping like flies a call now. We will get a chance get your call 866-34-TRUTH of its go to Stephen in Dallas, Texas.

Welcome to the line of fire by Dr. Brown I love you show man. I like my question is on the day of Pentecost, I might not hurt you speak about, and I'm sure you have a million times. I was curious monitor Pentecost the disciples of the Holy Spirit fell on him and began speaking in tongues crowd of people outside were hearing this, do you believe that they were hearing foreign languages and not some sort of mindless jibber jabber sort of unit you got from people. My brother ghost or charismatic church and I wouldn't classify myself that way but I do believe the Bible talks about speaking in tongues and I just don't know enough about that. So there. Pentecost is so first thing is just that, though this is caller and in the first half hour of the show's if you're listening on radio in Dallas.

You you get the second half hour so number one at Pentecost and asked to either the disciples were speaking new languages that they'd never spoken rights of some speaking Arabic in summer speaking in the whatever the languages that you know foresee whatever the languages are represented of.

That's the most logical or the people they was just speaking to heavenly tongue and the people supernaturally heard their own language. More more likely because member half the crowd they they think what he thought.

What is this your drunk all the other he right right nonsense circular but everybody speak at the same time registered nonsense or it could be that the miracle was in the hearing, not to speaking with you soon. Talking right you can debate it right. Maybe the miracle was in the hearing or some some teachers believe that. Let's say it was in the psyche is that you know that they speak in these languages elsewhere in first with his 14 when Paul talks about speaking in tongues in prayer and worship. He says no one understands you, your speaking mysteries to God, and no one can understand. Which is why I'm on radio now speaking English not in tongues. I may have been speaking tongues as I was driving up in my car but I'm speaking English now supposed to speak in tongues doesn't help you help anyone on the earth unless there's interpretation with it. The one thing I would just say is you don't want to call it mindless jibber jabber because it may just be that it sounds different to you. I mentioned to the call in the first half hour at the Dave that many a time. I've been overseas speaking and heard someone translate I think That's our language. What you say those are actual words that this is a like sentence structure, but it is. It's just foreign to me. In fact, Paul said that people think were barbarians. That's it broke from a literal translation of the Greek just foreigners of the risk as it sounds, exam bar bar bar that they understand it, so far languages often sound like us to jibber sounded to us like gibberish. When this amazing is what I'm praying in tongues were extended.

At times it sounds like language and praying. It sounds like sentences and so on. Words like to thank you Steven for the call 866-34-TRUTH.

Let's go to a thumb in St. Louis. Welcome to line of fire, low in her you're on the air. My question is about the status I was reading the Westminster confession said that the Sabbath has been moved to Sunday for the Christian Methodist. Any thoughts about that.

Should we keep the Sabbath yes so so we all obviously is that we agree on nine of the 10 Commandments that will keep them that we don't commit adultery middle steel we honor our parents. We will make idols. We agree on that. As followers of Jesus questions the Sabbath, let me say categorically that I differ with the Westminster confession was released following Catholic tradition, the say that the Sabbath was moved to Sunday is not a stitch of evidence for that in the New Testament and even the idea of Sabbath rest in the ancient Roman world was really not known what was known in Israel. It's not until the fourth century that this is a formal statement made that the Sabbath is now Sunday not let me say this. I don't believe that God gave the seventh day Sabbath in a binding way to the church as a whole.

It was a sign that he gave to Israel and that we first and foremost experience Sabbath rest in Jesus.

In Yeshua that's that's the first thing. Matthew 1128 to 30 come to me and find rest now the question should you keep the seventh day Sabbath or should Sunday be a Sabbath day because early audit. Christians deftly gathered to worship either before work or after work on the Sunday to celebrate the resurrection.

There's good documentation from that within the first century of the church, but there's not documentation anywhere in the New Testament or the earliest church that they consider this the new Sabbath was a later move the fourth century and one that I personally reject out doesn't mean that I don't attend church on Sunday or that I don't set that aside is a day of rest if that's my one day when I'm not preaching or ministering, but I would point you Romans 14 work this out between you and God. The seventh day Sabbath has not been given as the New Testament command, but certainly something that's will may want to enter into or have us this is a woman's father with Chris's setting aside Sunday is 7 May for three remember want us down.com/asked Dr. Brown
