Let us go to the phones and we started New York Aiden walking to the line of fire. Hi Dr. Brown figured in my call you welcome the benefit greatly from you very much. My question is regard to the kind of things are said in Revelation and in James that what he said that you still come sooner that handle our like do not feel at this document and all that stuff and James Jewett says that Jesus coming is at hand.

Like how she reviewed in light of I guess my question because reviewed at light of the doctors been like 2000 years since you know your timing yes of course this came up in a debate that I did a couple weeks back out with a full printer his foot will have the debate available for folks to interview pretty soon, but that was his biggest argument that Jesus is coming soon. I'm coming very soon.

The James force you mentioned the judges knocking at the door by Hebrews 10 he's gonna comment is going to come in and he won't delay so how do we understand that in light of the fact that he's not your return will my debating opponent insisted that Jesus has already come. Not only so that were really living in the new heaven and earth, and that morning and death and sighing have passed away some of Susan easily refuted arguments and only almost amazing that some of those points can be made. However, there is a valid question about these verses, so there are several responses.

One is that soon could be speaking very clearly in terms of a timeframe, assuming or quickly could be speaking of of a matter of of a sense of imminence of a sense of being at the door and in that sense, every generation has lived with anticipation that they could see the coming of the Lord just as we lift that that the way God designed it.

We don't know in history when God finally breaks in and the end comes that if you give a timeframe of saying it's can be 3000 years. Then there's going to be total complacency. People fall asleep if you say it's going to be in three months.

Then you not to get realistic planning and thinking, normal life. So basically that the biblical method of communication, and we have some instances in the Old Testament, for example Haggai to because you shake everything is just a little while and that's 500 years before the time Jesus you have language like that that it's he's quick it's coming quickly.

He's at the door and and he could have come theoretically at any time in history, only he knows all prophecies have been fulfilled when everything is in place so that's that's part of it. The manner, the, the imminence the sense of being at the door and that we I've lived with it. My entire believing life just as believers live with it in the first century that's that's one answer a second answer is that there are absolutely things in the book of Revelation that had total relevance to the believers that heard them and that's part of apocalyptic language.

This visionary language that kind of pictures. Everything in terms of end time cataclysmic events that much of it has absolute wrote relevance to the shaking in which they lived. So that's another aspect which is true. And then there is the day of the Lord, meaning the final time of his coming in ruling and raining and transforming the universe the new heavens and new earth, and second Peter three reminds us that you shouldn't say what he delays is coming because with the Lord one day is like a thousand years with the day of the Lord will come. On the other hand, there are many, many days of the Lord in history.

So in the Old Testament, the prophets often spoke of the day of the Lord, that meant the time of God coming in power and judgment, so that happened in the lifetimes of the prophets, as well as centuries later, as well as things were still waiting for so in that sense, the Lord has come in power and judgment in action and saved and delivered and judged many times through history but were still waiting for the coming that will be a flaming fire taking on vengeance on those that don't know God. At which point we will be physically resurrected or physically transformed to be with him forever. That's the way I understand those passages and that particular language it on several different levels that so I understand a lot. Thank you very much awesome you are very welcome and so glad we been a blessing to Sir 866-34-TRUTH.

Let's go to see Grove, North Carolina Todd, welcome to the line of fire by Dr. Brown having to do with different translate the Bible but it for the book of fall I know him from translations they don't have the following heading but all have them at another tablet well but they cover it differently and obscures the Palmdale all want the what the criteria you have banded for the fall. He felt where they should be invoked for you absolutely so the some headings should be there right at the beginning of the Psalm in the Hebrew versification. They are the first verse and in the Greek versification. They are just a heading followed by the first verse. That's why you see the numbering in the Psalms can often be different from, say, a Jewish translation and the Christian translation and some of the Psalms like Psalm one Psalm two.

For example, don't have a heading. Some of very specific heading. Like Psalm 51 that gives you the background to the Psalm of David being confronted by Nathan the prophet after his sin with Bathsheba or Psalm 90 which is a Psalm of Moses, the man of God. There is tradition that says Psalm 91 was also Saul of Moses because it's not attributed but they should be there so just looking for example, one translation here courses nothing for someone to assist additional heading within Psalm 31, a Psalm of David when he fled from his son Absalom, and now that that remains part of verse one, or how I foes increase if you look in Hebrew versification verse one is the heading and then verse two will be that the opening verse, but they should be there if the translation leaves it out. It is leaving out something that was part of the original biblical text and there's no justification for. Can you think of a translation that does that.

That leaves the Psalm headings out of well I'll give you an example. I know that without_being rerecorded the King James version of the Bible. But if the family he was given a version of our but I can't cultivate February the birds of the King James version. It did not have the Psalm headings and at all and and that is so here yet. Here's the deal. The Psalm headings are often considered secondary meaning that this is often understood that the Psalm heading was added by someone else later on right but still part of our biblical texts. As we have them. So even if the Psalm headings. Edit later on. Giving instructions about the Psalm how it's to be song, the melody is to be sung to, here's the background to the Psalm or read this Psalm against this background. Whatever the case may be, even if it was not written saved by David in writing the Psalm himself, someone else edited and later it still part of the biblical text that's been passed down to us and therefore should be part of that again. It may have just been a choice in the reading or in the editing that this was left out for production. For some reason, but this should this should be there. Of absolutely should be the only question is going to be number one. Whether it's written as a separate verse or not.

Or number two is it written by the person that wrote the Psalm arsenals wrote later. Either way, it is part of the Bible. I thank you for asking, 866-34-TRUTH outlets go to Stephen in Orlando, Florida. Welcome to the line of fire. Dr. Brown. My question is about some Bible translation quickly. I heard from a pretty pretty well known County missionary statement like that the Septuagint was originally the book I'm familiar with, but then the rest of the prophets, when translated until after Christ, which is why it can't be an authority is simply complete and utter nonsense and fiction. In terms of Septuagint, the scholars know nobody would even consider that for for a split second. So here's the you.

Here's what you do have. You do have Jewish tradition, so ancient Jewish tradition.

It's in the traditions we have are all well after the time of Jesus saying and and it reflects was written about the letter of averse to us that there were 70 different or 72 different scholars to scholars who all independently were were put in in the other booths basically to translate and they they all translated the five books of Moses, the Torah, and when they came out it was all identical. It was perfectly inspired was identical, so that's valid. The five books of Moses in the Septuagint, but the rest is not valid, etc. so first that's complete myth and the translation is not a supernaturally inspired translation and Septuagint. The scholars will tell you can see, there were different hands involved with the translation of the Torah was not just one person are all these people with the same etiquette sitting Septuagint from this tradition of the 70 but the Septuagint translation dates back. The earliest parts could be as early as 300 BC and the latest parts may be better hundred 50 BC, but the Septuagint was well in place as the Greek translation of the Jewish Scriptures well well before the time of Jesus and the apostles and the reason it's quoted by them. It's because it is because it was the Greek translation of the Jewish world afterwards. Other translations were composed as well and some were composed to come against the Christian usage of the Septuagint.

All right, stay there. I will give you one more bit of information on file line of fire with your host Dr. Michael Brown get into the minor fire now by calling 866-34-TRUTH here again is Dr. Michael Brown ran question and answers it. Truth to Stephen in Orlando one quick word if you'll type in Jewish encyclopedia Jewish encyclopedia one word to and then type in us under search engine then type in Bible translations right you will get an article from oh what is it 1906 Jewish encyclopedia reflecting scholarly views at that time, but bite by topic Jewish scholars highly respected scholars and and others and if you go there you will read about Septuagint and read about the different speculation and even then saying that the probability is that all of it was translated before the time of the New Testament, etc. and that all the debate about the earlier parts of it and so on so forth. Anyway, this will tell you about the Jewish traditions as well as give you good scholarly perspective, but if you look at any serious us up to a gentle scholarly work.

Look at the work of Emmanuel Toth, the perhaps impulsively one of the world's foremost Septuagint, the scholars and is an Israeli professor Emmanuel told look at his intro to Septuagint you will not find use of this County missionary confirmed quite the contrary. All right, 866-34-TRUTH. One quick thing that we are intact to the phones this past Tuesday is known as giving Tuesday the when the tradition began, but we like many others sent out an email encouraging Stan with the ministry work that we do. I want to thank all of you who who wrote in whom sent in donations online and through other means.

I want to thank you so much for your help and will encourage you that you can give. If you missed giving Tuesday. I leave Sunday for India trip number 26 to India, and even though the trip itself is paid for. There's time on both sides of the trip and the whole time. There were unable to bring in funds for ministry. Others have paid for us to go over there but we just go over there to serve and bless and and we don't use our India trip system big fundraising mechanism and things like that because were going there to bless RRR friends there and then come back and do the work we're doing here so if you can stand with us one time gift of any size limits tax deductible. You may be thinking that at the end of the year. Thank you in advance could ask Dr. Brown.org. Click on donate cascade your Brown.org. Click on donate. Oh, and I looked up and we have a phone line open, so if you want to call this is a great time to call. Let's go to Joel in California. Welcome to the line of fire. Hello Dr. Brown are doing very well thank you you you blessed me so much with your ministry. I listen to you everyday and I just really appreciate it. Wash all your debates about reading many of your books as well. This really appreciate your thank you push it clear to question good squeezing a real quick.

I wanted I was doing a study on on unwinding in biblical times specifically at time of Jesus. I came across somebody writing and make that a Jewish person was only permitted to drink 4 cups during Passover to it away and wanted circumcision and they also said women and children were not allowed to drink wine and were given grape juice. I was wondering if you could speak to. If there was any truth to that in the second question was did Paul contradict Peter's rules to the Gentile that he gave an extra 15 to Kolkata contradict that in Romans 14, Colossians 2 first 2010 one. If you could speak that as well. So let's let's answer the second one. First, Jesus is well in the book of Revelation rebukes those that were encouraging eating food sacrificed to idols. So was Paul blatantly going against that. No, I don't see that as a possibility at all. Rather, this is what I understand Paul was saying to the world in which people lived.

You really did know when you went to the meat market what was sacrificed when idle and what wasn't the rich get the local temple and and sacrifices are brought so the priest would eat some of the meat and things like that to be dedicated, while some of it would be burned on an altar, then you had other parts of the sacrifice that were just sold to the meat market and when you're going to go to someone's home to eat. You have no idea whether that food was sacrificed or not a lot just like for example really grocery store you don't know if if the people selling the meat are part of the Mafia and are using profits for illegal purpose. You have no idea right or if the farm was dedicated to some Hindu deity year were the cows are raised, or if you have no idea if that so the people have no idea, but it could mess with you like what can I do this is.

Is it all right what if I go to the home of someone I know the person is not a worshiper but they want to eat there and Paul say is the food is just food and, in and of itself is meaningless. So don't worry about it.

But if in fact you are told this is for an idol or from out then you don't do it even though you know yourself. It's not the filing for that person's sake you don't so separation was called for where you didn't know what that the case was so pulses as to the eating of food offered to idols.

First Corinthians 8. We know that an idol has no real existence that there is no God but one. And then he goes on glorifying the father and son. This is however verse seven. Not all possess this knowledge but some through former Association will idols eat food as really offer trial and their conscience. Being weak is the file so his point is, some people are eating the food thinking fountain I define myself that it should not done that and they don't know. So sing. If you do know it's offered to an idol. Even though food itself is just food. Jesus also made the query goes in your mouth can't defile you with what comes out of your heart, they can defile you for conscience sake, don't do it, especially for the sake of the idolater, the idol worshiper. Don't do it you separate yourself from it. So he's not teaching anything contrary and he certainly got encouraging it.

The encouraging of it that's rebuked in the book of Revelation is certainly a participation in idolatry and eating food sacrificed to idols in a way that was participating in idolatrous rights, recalls, and that's was really being condemned. There as okay to be a good leader, Peter one more giving that rebuke that if you're constantly partaking in sacrificing title eating that meat do not have stock or was he simply saying, what Paul was saying if you know this is been sacrificed when idle to go and don't need know why I don't okay initially in the book of acts when things lay down first and ask the 15th chapter, there are certain fundamental things that these Gentile believers are asked to separate themselves from that would have been very much a part of their lives and that involve participation in idolatrous rights and participation in things that would break table fellowship with the Jew so because that was laid out.

Now the question comes up will.

I'm not sure if it's offered to annihilate what you do.

That's what Paul is addressing.

So what was addressing his pre-presupposing that acts 15 with that counselor. That teaching was out there and and was known so as as for your as for your source about one drink in the New Testament. What do you have a reference for the decline coming from REI loss.

I locked the restaurant I didn't keep it but I read it I thought. I don't feel it through mentoring right Researching for a while and I couldn't find car come across anything that supported it dark brown belt at the place so I didn't. Again, refer you to traditional Jewish source, so just jot this down a somebody that CH a B a D.org this is a respected traditional Jewish source about CH a B a D.org and I look for what is Judaism's take on alcohol consumption. What is Judaism's take on alcohol consumption. Now certainly, there were various laws and traditions. For example, there were 4 cups of windup that people would drink on Passover.

All right, but to this day. For example, during the during the festival of Purim traditional Jews will drink from Col. that's okay will drink sometimes to to access it all. This part of the party in celebration and there are other instances of Deuteronomy were, for example, when you're bringing your your your your tithe but so you bet you lady grants you turned into money and that you bring it to Jerusalem and be free.

Don't you take a portion you can feast and you can drink wine or strong drink is that at that particular time. So and his notes here. We use wine for kiddush and have the lawn Shabazz of beginning and end of Sabbath and Jewish holidays and many many meats vote. Commandments are accompanied by a cup of wine so there may have been some tradition there.

That was being reflected and was taken as if that was the whole story so so again if you go to this traditional Jewish websites about CH a B a D.org and look for what is Judaism's take on alcohol consumption. You will find that I appreciate the call and so glad that we've been a blessing to you in life and ministry I take what I do not have time to take another question before the break, so as soon as we come back let's see who's next. Danny then Brian then Sean then Josh and Bill. It's it's interesting based on subject matter that Friday's we tend to get if I'm correct a move many many many many more calls for men than women in other days based on subject matter more calls from women than men, but every body is welcome to call, including those who differ with me and Lily to sit this one quick word to all of you seeking to do the work of ministry and help others maybe are pastoring, rebuke, a house group maybe is just the work you're doing.

Don't wear yourself out trying to please critics take constructive criticism as a gift from God.

This can help you and sharpen you and strengthen you, but the negative critics the destructive critics that I can support you that I can help you and and you'll never satisfy them until you compromise the very things that the Lord has given you to do so. Pray for them.

Bless them focus on the work but if you are a critic and you want to call you more than welcome. I would love to talk with you face-to-face… Because my phone right will be right back don't go anywhere, and it's the line of fire with your host Dr. Michael Brown your voice and more cultural and spiritual revolution. Here again is Dr. Michael Brown.

Thanks so much forecast, this is Michael Brown. You've got questions.

We got answers 866-34-TRUTH eight 784 is the number to call and we go instantly to the phones starting in Canada with Danny. Welcome to the line of fire. Michael very well, thank you real quick draw a talk a little bit about your aunt during the Brownsville revival warned against it told never to go near it. I watched it and it set my heart on fire so wanted to thank you for being used by God and that's that's one of the great hallmarks of a true revival that Jesus is exalted that lies radically change in that others others rejected it.

In fact, Arthur Wallace, in his book in the day of thy power said something to Duncan Campbell of fame for the Hebrides revival from 1949 to 9052 different Campbell second in this but he said if it's claims. We are revival and is not spoken against.

Check again to be sure it's a revival so and I said yes and for years you can have controversy without revival, but you cannot revival of a controversial. Now my question as to a non-Calvinistic view nongovernment view and we would in equipment long but at least by I believe that a person can ultimately fall from grace, the Lord, so my question is this Michael. If it is it one for him if it to extend the category of things like Windows God finally give up on on a person returns from him. I look at it a little differently than that. So your question is is really an appropriate one as many people can say this is the moment I was saved. I know it and then others will say it was over. At times I was dealing with these rhino I made a profession of faith, but he may been working my heart before this. So God knows that line the right. He knows the moment we pass from from death to life in the same way God ultimately knows when we cross a certain line but I don't believe that it's it's God making the decision as much as us turning away and refusing. So what's the difference between someone struggling and every day falling short and God I feel miserable. Forgive me Lord, I want to serve you. Okay, so they don't have the evidence of the overcoming life, but they they they want to please the Lord in their struggling deeply. What's the difference between that and someone says I reject you.

I no longer believe in you.

I don't want you in my life. I do. I don't believe you exist or I'm I'm becoming a Buddhist or whatever. So there is a line God knows where that line is where someone forfeits grace were someone willingly says I will not follow you. So God knows the difference between someone struggling and is merciful and is compassionate and is loving and is kind and we received grace every day and on on all of us in our best day we live by grace you know and I and our very best day, if God was looking for sin, to disqualify us he could find sin to disqualify us because we never perfectly lovable heart someone strength. We never perfectly know what liver neighbors are self. That being said, I don't look at it like all guy went one step too far or OII lost my temper three straight days I I thought this lustful thoughts four times in an hour. I we we live by grace and stand by grace. It's the refusal of that grace the turning our backs on that grace.

So if someone says I don't I choose sin. I know this is wrong. I know it's sinful. I choose it and they live out a life and unrepentant disobedience. Calvinists were disabled and they were never saved if they die like that and are I respect.

If you are just differ with in some cases it may be true. Otherwise, I look at it. The someone up ostracizing and this is something that was recognized as a real possibility for centuries in the early church, the possibility of apostasy there versus throughout the New Testament that worn but I want someone Danny to feel absolutely securing.I I am 100% sure of his keeping power and I rest in that. At the same time understand sin is deadly and destructive and you don't play games with it. If you open the door would today play games with today.

Don't shut that door that thing you're playing with today may be dominating you tomorrow all right.

Hope that is helpful. 86634 let's go to Brian and courts are going to Brian actually was a related question, but as Brian can hold out this go to Sean and Sean can help friends. That means a couple of phone lines have just open up which is like a treasure here on a Friday so go for great-aunt to call 866-34-TRUTH Mr. Iowa Josh, welcome to the line of fire and love you but I thank you sir.

Yeah. So make it a little loaded the try to enter in the quickest and most compact way I can make their left the old new early Christian writing the first and second century, and so I kept my question is, obviously, we don't hold those as authoritative. They don't hold a candle stick to the Bible, but I'm wondering if we seek consensus amongst the early Christian and then we also see it in the Bible like it could be interpreted that way to end it. Opposite like it it the same as our theology could be possible that I'm not holding back Bystolic bait abatement and all handed down to the same I can do three okay I'm not entirely sure I understand question. Are you saying that if their writings from early church leaders that you differ with today that you are not in harmony with but it is far as you're concerned that you believe it's in the Bible, but these early writings seem to say something different, perhaps they are right and you're misinterpreting the Bible is, is that what you're asking like help via a Support for Calvinism for Several Centuries until Augustine, so Getting It Right Okay so Here It Is. It's a Wonderful Question That I Just Want to Assure Rightly Understood That Catholics Would Argue That the Church Tradition.

Support Them.

The Orthodox Greek and Russian Orthodox Would Argue That the True Church Tradition, Support Them, Others Would Say Will See That's What the Church Got Wrong. You Know When and Augustine Recovered Things or I Would Say That You, You Take Very Seriously with the Disciples of the Apostles Had to Say Right Take Very Seriously. For Example, Polycarp Being a Disciple of of the Apostle John Became Very Seriously What They Had to Say Because They Were Much Closer Than We Are on the Other Hand, We Also Recognize That They Would Be the First to Say What's Written in Scriptures Was Written and That Our Writings Do Not Have the Authority of the Writings of the Apostles and Even the Pseudo-Gospels the Different Gospels the Written None of Them Had Any Widespread Recognition among the Early Believers except the Four Canonical Gospels, so He Had Given Her Loss Gospels. All That's a Myth That's a Separate Separate Story. However, I Would Say Is a Messianic Jew That Some of the Things Paul Warns about in Terms of Despising the Branches Were Being Arrogant against the Branches That Were Cut off That That Starts to Happen Pretty Quickly to the Point That Even Though We See Jewish Believers Living the Way Paul and Peter and the Apostles Lived As Jewish Believers That, and You See It in All through the Time of Jerome, and Even after That These Were Largely Misunderstood. That the Jewish Believers of Ultra-Orthodox Christology and Things like That. They Were Misunderstood and I Believe That Something Paul Warned about so I'll Look at All Those Things Very, Very Carefully. Another Scholar of of the Church Fathers or Anything like That. I Take It Seriously, but Ultimately I Recognize the Different Views Their Different Expressions.

Things Work Themselves out. Never This a Brand-New Movement. Right Now It's Been Released into Brand-New Territory with a Flood of People Coming in so I'm in a Look at Them on the Learn from Them. I'm Dennis See Where They Have an Insight That Can Challenge Me, but Ultimately I've Got to Go Back to the Consistent Testimony of Scripture Sure Thing, and Josh, I Just Want to See If I Can Find This There Is an Author Named David Burkart If I Remember Correctly Yeah There We Go BER COT and He Has a Number of Books about How the Early Christians Lived. He's Got a Book.

Will the Real Heretics Please Stand up a New Look at Today's Evangelical Church in the Light of Early Christianity. That Sounds Interesting.

And Then He Has Dictionary of Early Christian Beliefs.

Since David Burkart BER COT.

I Would Highly Recommend Getting That Busy Breaks Things down Systematically and You Get Your Different Subjects Right Will Real Heretics Please Stand up One Book, the Other a Dictionary of Early Christian Beliefs. So He Breaks It down. Point by Point, but You Can See I Will Have Much Here or What We Got like 30 Quotes and They All Seem to See Things and Do Things the Same Way, so by All Means Check That out.

For Example, If If If I Was an Alcoholic and Then God Save Me and Then I Got Free from Alcohol. I Got to Stay Away from Bars and If They Were Family Gatherings. River Was Getting Drunk. I'd I'd Be in Another Room, I Wouldn't Be There. On the Other Hand, If If All My Family Members Are Atheists in Their God Markers and I Just Got Saved like What a Great Opportunity to Be around Them and Share the Gospel and If It's Not Time to Share the Gospel Literally Blasting This and Bless Those out Whatever You Know That's the Way There, so I Know Work for Years and It's Different Secular Professions before Going into Court Full-Time Ministry so You're Often around Profane People and and Paul Says in First Corinthian's Five the Separate from Them. You Have To Leave the World Entirely. So There May Be Something That That Is Just Defiling the Person so Vulgar It's Constant Sex Jokes and Its Ill Family Member 03 Minus Ahead of Us on the Tongue Had a Live but I Don't Find the Stuff Funny Anymore Is Going to Be Honest with You, but Otherwise I Want to Do My Best to Be around People That Don't Know the Lord That Are Going to Have All Their Rough Edges so That I Can.

I Can Bring the Gospel to Them.

However, If Who They Are and What They Do Actually on a Regular Basis Drags Me down That Night That I Have To Have Some Space so That's What You Have To Evaluate Can You Pray Spend a Great Time with the Lord and Going to That Environment and Shine Light and If They Crack Their Jokey Discount like You Know I It in the Early Days and Probably Would Be like Rundle to Hold It for Their Children Out Of You Know Now If I Heard Some Just Off-Color Joke of the Know I Migrated Them State. Not Really My Style Though Is Unwanted Seem so Uptight That They Associate That Was Being Religious and Your Soft Eyes like Yeah II Know It's Funny. It Is Not Really My Style and and Just Become a Low-Key about It and Sometimes That's the Best Way When I Work One Job I Was 18 Years Old and a Summer Job before Going to College and It Was like Seven in the Morning till 330 in the Afternoon I Get This Early Shift. Regular Church Services Every Night and and Were Working on the Speech Cleaning Things and All the Guys Were Just Worldly Is Mocking Me and Profane in All This and I Was One of the Youngest in Some of the Approach Is Probably up to the Mid-20s but II Asked Them, Could You Just Stop Using Profanity in Their Grief a Little While. Then They Said That Were under Enough Pressure Ready Week and I and I Realize That Really Wasn't up to Me and Force a Coat of Speech, but I Was Brand-New and Witnessing All the Time of the Stuff Came up so Ugly Low-Key about It and Let's Really Defiling That I I'd Separate 866-34-TRUTH.
