Some major news from Supreme Court and an interview with Mona Karen about feminism's failures 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 valves like always 866-34-TRUTH that's 866-34-TRUTH here again is Dr. Michael Brown was a big case that big, big news since we planned out content for today shows that Justice Kennedy has announced that he will be retiring from Supreme Court effective July 31.

There been rumors about this for some months now is now been confirmed 81 years old and much to talk about concerning that were going to talk about some recent Supreme Court decisions with the implications of those are what we can take away from them and then second half hour of today's broadcast of the speak with your Times best-selling author, journalist, political commentator Mona Karen. Her new book, six matters how modern feminism lost touch with science, love and common sense. All right, 866-34-TRUTH if you want to weigh in on the Supreme Court. Issues will be talked about 866-34-TRUTH 7884.

Yesterday morning I woke up and immediately just want to prayer. I don't normally do this in this way I was going to be traveling back from Green Lake, Wisconsin something like that. Beautiful retreat center right been speaking at a conference and then flying through a little airport trying than an hour to a little airport in Appleton, Wisconsin. From there to Chicago, Chicago back to Charlotte and I did when I got up I just immediately prayed over every aspect of the day when I'd be traveling back who I would meet divine appointments for witnessing adequate time to write to rest while flying the ride.

Just every detail just prayed about it. I'm traveling all the time for said they were woke up and then the next thing I looked at my phone and there is the announcement of flights out of Chicago canceled severe weather and then they were going to rebook me to fly back out today which was knocking to work for quite a number of reasons. Having a 5:19 AM playing out of Appleton I would if I believe I was three something in the morning and it still get back at like seven or eight in the evening so we were able to work out an alternate route. I rented a car in the Oshkosh airport for the auto. My life will be in the Oshkosh Wisconsin airport and Rent-A-Car there. Drove to Milwaukee. Had a delightful ride, talking to the Lord and flew home from walking so thrilled to be here rather than still traveling today but I mention that just to say it's interesting that when you consciously, actively commit every detail of your life to the Lord and things going a different direction. You are even more conscious of the fact that everything will fall. The place is not tragic, no calamity, I just mean minor things, but it was just that reminder. This interesting verse in Proverbs chapter 16 verse three and he rates his goal LL than I must setup literally role upon the Lord, your deeds simulcast which are doing upon the Lord for you: protect you and your plans will be established just in a beautiful concept that you take what you doing today enroll it all on the Lord so that which you doing today is an obedience in harmony with God and consequently your plans will be established, because you will be walking in harmony with God today. Therefore tomorrow your plans. Your thoughts will fall into place. Okay, Justice Kennedy's retirement is massively important. For example the vote a couple days back upholding president trumps travel ban on Muslims from certain countries.

This was basically on partisan lines. 54 Justice Kennedy has often been the swing vote. He was appointed by Pres. Reagan he's been conservative in certain ways.

In other ways is deviated.

Of course, was the deciding vote tragically in the vote to redefine marriage and there's been a question about which way he would go on certain issues is on the one hand, he is concerned about religious liberties and freedoms felt that you could redefine marriage that impinging on those, but that's obviously not the case and his recent rulings have clearly said listen, you cannot have an animus against religion, the ruling of the masterpiece cakes case with Jack Phillips so he is retiring and thus far one of the things that Donald Trump has done very very well disappoint strong conservative justices use. It was just new corsets will vest to the Supreme Court, but he has been nominating fine appointees to other federal courts and again these are lifetime appointments so that over the course of his presidency. If if he lives on and and fulfill for years or even succeeds in fulfilling eight years. It would have a massive effect on the judiciary for decades to come.

A massive effect in your even looking at a situation where if you get the right justice. You have the real potential of overturning Roe V Wade look. The pro-abortion advocates the Planned Parenthood types and their allies have been fearing this for a long time and that's been one of the major issues with Hillary Clinton if she had been elected who would she have appointed, so it certain that would not of been the Agoura such an WSDL question would be direct attack on our civil and religious liberties. There's no question there'd be there for the pushing of the abortion agenda and who knows what else. So again, you want to have on a certain level of parity so you're not just nine ultraconservatives are nine ultra liberals or things like that. And yet, if we do believe that the Supreme Court is gone way beyond its intended constitutional powers. If we believe it's taken on a role as Justice Scalia would talk about nine unelected officials basically having this massive power of the whole nation.

The powder redefine marriage. Come on, whoever ever dreamt of that, among the founding fathers that such an issue could ever come to the Supreme Court, let alone that they would decide the two men or two women could constitute what would be called a marriage arrangement. That being said, when there is injustice when there are things that are blatantly right and wrong. You want to have justices ruling in the right way and in a way that honors the Constitution again. That is what we are basing things on so during the days of slavery did you just want justices that would be kind of equally balanced and maybe ago 544 slavery miracle 54 against slavery, or would you want every justice to rule righteously against slavery and against whatever foundational legal understandings allowed for slavery and the same in the days of segregation would you want justices in imago 54 in favor segregation may go 54 against, or would you want justices that 920, so this is wrong. So yes, we need diversity and is one of my friends said he believed the Lord spoke to one day that that in order for a plaintiff Firebird to fly. It needs a left wing, a right wing so America needs a left-wing and right-wing, and I understand that and I respect that. He also recognizes that many of the positions on the left are dead wrong are demonically wrong and yes their positions on the right are dead wrong, demonically wrong when it comes to life when it comes to marriage when it comes to family. These are things where the Supreme Court must do the right thing because of the great power that it has so we should really be praying not just for Pres. Trump to appoint the right person. Okay, that's big but it's only part of the story not only pray for him to appoint the right person and heritage foundation has been guiding him in this process and people is put forth, one after another after another, have been excellent sugar some exceptions along the way that would not be ideal in every respect but from what I fall. So four key once have been excellent. So not only that, he appoints the right person, but that this person is approved because you know this can be a hellish battle over this. You know, because the that radical left knows what's at stake here just as strong conservatives would notice that what is at stake of Hillary Clinton's and was trying to up appointed justice that would potentially put things. 5463 in certain directions. But we can service and fight it. So pray that he'll appoint the right person and pray that God will move that the right person is brought in nominated and appointed all right.

Let's let's look at the travel ban decision. CNN has a report five takeaways from the Supreme Court's monumental ruling in support of trumps travel ban is not ban all Muslims from coming into America, but there were certain countries rescinded to we sort this out is going to be a bad right it's tiny minority of Muslims worldwide affected the people took it is discriminatory, etc. so let's let's take a look at the five takeaways and I cite this article because it CNN because his liberal perspective.

So I think it's interesting to look at this number one and this is underscoring what I've been saying elections matter a lot. Elections matter a lot. The vote to uphold the travel ban was 54 along party lines of Hillary Clinton beats Donald Trump on November 8, 2016. There is no way that the vacancy caused by the death of Antonin Scalia is filled by Neil Gore such so most certainly filled instead by some of the more likely the side with Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Sonya such tomorrow. Such Mayor rather than Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas, etc. so first point is look at how this unfolds. Regardless of what you like to decision or not and I'll come back to that. The colorful number two.

This is as much Mitch McConnell's victory as it is Donald Trump's remember with the passing of Justice Scalia that Pres. Obama wanted to appoint Justice and Mitch McConnell was able to fight against, say, no, no, the people voted in a new president let the new president make that nomination sold interesting point there. Number three, the president has loads of power. This ruling was that the five that voted for the five voted for said this is about the presidency. This is the way some analysts have summed it up. This is about the presidency that the president does have massive powers and that if he gives an executive order on so that you just can have some judge down the lines were overturning those that voted against it specially were voted against the president and you can't give this guy, this kind of power you cute what what what he's doing is wrong. So one seem to be more philosophical about the power of the presidency. The other side seeking more concern about potential abuses from this president. The number for the court didn't take Trump literally so during the campaign.

When Pres. Trump famously said no Muslims coming to this country until we can sort what the world is going on paraphrase of what he said that the court and taken literally never remember the adage during the campaign and since Trump supporters taken seriously but not literally.

His detractors taken literally literally but not seriously in the number five.

The court want to make clear it wasn't endorsing past statements past Trump statements on Muslims that support this past statements he made have been inflammatory or have gone too far. Or certainly are not proper for the president, speaking for the good of the whole nation. That being said, the court was not endorsing those past statements but rather send this executive order, and it is within the purview of the president's power will be right on 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… Let's take a look at in the last few days issued by the Supreme Court. One is an actual ruling.

The other was in order. So let's let's take a look at the Burnell Stutzman case.

I haven't an article upon the stream and elsewhere to the Supreme Court granted a religious right's victory to florist Karen L. Stutzman's if you remember she is a grandmother. She is a committed Christian. She owns Orleans flowers and has been in business many years in her state of Washington and there was a gay couple regular customers of her, that of hers that she served at least nine years on a regular basis so should no problem serving everyone, or even hiring careless. "It was not an issue who she was when one of the men came and said that after nine years together. My partner are to be getting married you have 100+ people there and and and of course you're the one your favorite florist. You're the one to to do the floral arrangement for us and she took him by the hatchets of the hardest thing she ever did set. I can't do that. No answer. Christian her convictions that she cannot provide a floral arrangement for something she believes is wrong and sinful in God's sight and on top of that for her. This is an artistic creation was highly flowers you want use them however you want, but don't ask me to create something that is contrary to my religious convictions. She continued to talk to the man, according to the report. You should they hug when they were done when he felt hurt his partner felt hurt, posted on social media. The thing is up exploding as of the Atty. Gen. gets in a sale you get sin Supreme Court of Washington rules nine nothing against her.

Yeah. So to add insult to injury, the Atty. Gen. and the ACLU basic are bankrupt or take everything she has not just shut the business down to take everything she has and she's just firmly said she's gotta do the loving thing and obey the Lord and that's that. Little did she know what would happen in the national attention that would be honest just like Jack Phillips with masterpiece cakes are the others florist bakers, photographers, and others who simply done what was right and honest inside of the Lord, and of lost a whole lot because of things are so bad that that when funds are being raised for legal fees and things like that in person lost Burnell Stutzman.

They got a great response on go funny.

Then go for me, shut the page down page down know where I can allow you to do that I may think think the level bigotry is as non-Christian side it's on those hostile to biblical faith and again if if you were gay.

Baker and I came in there and I said listen, we we've got this this conference were were holding about people coming out of homosexuality and changes possible and that marriage is near the man and woman.

So we want these cakes baked and and just on them. We just wanted to stick, design it to men holding hands like an X sign over. Of course they should be able to say sorry that's an insult to us. We can't design the free feel free and buy whatever you want here but we can't this on a few of the perfectly right and appropriate. Obviously, we give a list of many many other things that fall these exact same lines. So what happened was Supreme Court did not agree to hear the case they sent it back to the Washington Supreme Court. They sent it back to the Washington Supreme Court saying look at our decision with Jack Phillips masterpiece cakes. That was a 7 to 2 decision last month, and the court did not officially say that First Amendment rights, freedom of religion, freedom of conscience that these Trump so-called anti-gay discrimination laws, and is a so-called because it often goes beyond that is in cases like this, and was a 22 states across the country have laws in place anti-LGBT discrimination laws, which would then overturn First Amendment rights.

They did not make a categorical statement about this.

Rather, what they did was said that the Colorado commission that ruled against Jack Phillips exercise extreme animus against religion.

In their ruling was Justice Kennedy who wrote the majority opinion was seven to too many to the liberal justices joined in on the vote.

So now the court told the Washington Supreme Court reconsider your verdict based on our ruling here.

Now that's highly significant. Let me tell you this is playing out USA today has an article in the article says this is the headline. And so there are mixed opinions about this first cake.

Now flowers Supreme Court gives florist to refuse to serve gay wedding, a new hearing in the article begins with this when it comes to creating product for same-sex weddings.

Supreme Court reasoned Monday that was good for the Baker is good for the florist. This is USA today reporting at the beginning of the article, the advocate flagship LGBT publication doesn't think it's significant. The city was Supreme Court sent the case of the florist refused to servicing six couples wedding back to the state court review but did not say the state ruled wrongly in finding the florist committed unlawful discrimination leading LGBT advocates to say it's likely the state will again rule with the florist committed unlawful discrimination James Essex, director of ACLU's LGBT HIV project and of course I got a vested interest in this ACU is coming against Burnell Stutzman. He said were confident that the Washington state Supreme Court will rule, once again, in favor of the same-sex couple, and reaffirm his decision that no businesses right to discriminate or work to ensure LGBT equality is the law and the norm in all 50 states will continue so how do we sort this out.

I got an email from the alliance defending freedom announcing this in the ADF is represented Burnell Stutzman as it represented Jack Phillips masterpiece cakes as well and they said this is big news. This is big news in and they said here's here's what it does it. The court did three things for granted her petition is to appeal the verdict.

It wiped out Washington Supreme Court judgments. The Washington Supreme Court's judgment against the sink and got a reconsider so it's fresh start and its center back to the Washington courts hair case back and told him to reconsider. In light of the Supreme Court's decision and check those masterpiece cake shop so what's the point. The point is that it if if the Supreme Court didn't think there was something to this, they wouldn't sent it back now. I was looking at at some of the pages of 67 pages of the decision against Burnell Stutzman and and trying to see what degree you could say there is animus against religion hostility against religion and and that's debatable. Again, I'm not a lawyer or a judge to analyze it in sufficient depth, but that the court did say this explicitly, they said it is uncontested that are sincerely held religious beliefs include a belief that marriage can exist only between one man and the moments of the questions. How can you force her to violate those beliefs without violating their First Amendment rights in order to create something that it didn't. It was creative at sectors to serving the service he provides. But how can you do that without violating their First Amendment rights and showing some level hostility to religion.

So bottom line. The big news is that the court could've refused to hear that would've been a terrible defeat.

They agreed that they they grieve the appeal they sent the case back if they didn't think there was anything to it that wouldn't sent the back no would switch 90 ruling against her 54 in her favor 63 in favor leave and it affect anyone will see, but it's positive with a rule against her again. I think the Supreme Court might be willing at that point to hear the case.

In terms of a violation of her personal rights. Okay, last thing Supreme Court also ruled 5 to 4 so is a one vote victory again not to make Pro lifers abortion salesman as my colleague John Smrekar put it on stream. In other words, pro-life centers in California were required by law. This was that this was the verdict.

This was overturned by the Supreme Court required by law to advertise abortion services. So here's a woman and and she's struggling she's pregnant. She does know what to do. She goes to pregnancy crisis center and the women sit her down and say okay let's talk about the baby.

The next carrying a baby, let's talk about that and let's talk about possibilities look. Are you able to to keep the baby. If your ways we could provide help and support or support help within the city.

Here, or if that's completely impossible.

There's no way whatsoever. Maybe you're 16 years older. Pregnant out of wedlock and you just is no way I'm still in high school and okay let's look at adoption.

This disgusting.

According to this law that all sectors enough course you can kill the big terminate the pregnancy rate on the block of Planned Parenthood sent real if there was signage right is there was so your advertiser pregnancy crisis center but also you know Jeff to advertise Planned Parenthood or something like that.

So the argument in favor of the ridiculous ruling in California was like many women go to these pregnancy crisis centers thinking they're going to a place where they can have abortions, you need to.

Given that option will obviously go to Planned Parenthood. Is someone requiring Planned Parenthood by law to sit down signal. Let's look at all your options.

Let's let's look at the fact that that's actually baby in room: fetus, but that's a baby now, let's talk about the possibility of having the child. Let's connect you with support groups in the city.

Okay what about adoption. What's another.

The laws I can require them to sit down to give equal time and count, you know, back and forth also. In any case, this was a ridiculous ruling. The good news is the good news is, was overturned 5 to 4. The bad news is, it was only overturned 524. This is one of those things that should be 90.908 172. Can you see how important this next Supreme Court appointment could be.

Let's really pray, as Justice Kennedy is retiring.

First, that God would pour his grace in his life, and if he does know the Lord. He would really come to know the Lord enjoy his goodness.

The rest of his life and perhaps undo speeches, books and other things. Some of the damage he did live to regret decision he made. Defining matter will be right back with my guest monitor her plan and Expo light a fire with your host Dr. Michael Brown your voice and more cultural and spiritual revolution.

Here again is Dr. Michael Brown thanks friends for joining us today.

Fire I have a very subject cover with important guests with an important new book and talk about New York Times best-selling author Mona Karen. She is a political commentator, you probably seen on TV in the past or read some of her columns. She has a new book out sex matters sex matters help modern feminism lost touch with science love and common sense motors also married mother of three and when she speaks on these topics. Obviously she has a good listening audience already built in so we want to explore this topic today how modern feminism lost touch with science, love, and common sense mother walking to the line of fire. Thanks for joining us today, where all right first you start off your book talking about feminism has triumph not just talking about some movement or some friends radical. I Dia it. In what way has feminism triumphed and at what cost is. Feminism triumphed, pampered and are binding. I could look them if you like but equal pay for equal work, and that women all legal and moral and political equal to men that pretty uncontroverted fail where I think feminism made disastrous wrong turn. What in hacking family life and diminishing the importance of marriage and endorsing the sexual revolution and also wetting himself certain ideas that have proved to be just flat wrong but the idea that all the different between men and women are entirely socially inspected and are not arising from natural differences between men and women right so even the very title sex matters, you're saying that there are differences between the sexes, which, bizarrely enough, is something highly controversial today, so let let's start there with the idea that biology is not bigotry.

Let's start with the idea that there are differences now you look at things, not just in one culture, but in many cultures to say there are distinct differences to what is science say about differences between the sexes in early 1970 when need idea came into general exception airbag blockade of scientific research showing Park map of Armonk on developing looking at differences in brain organization between men and women looking at differences in the way and few days all react in your life and there are noted. A baby girl a few days old will find differently for the sound of a human and less than a baby boy and baby boy is more likely to look at – like the work or moving objects in a baby girl things happen and show up in the Possibly be socially constructed. They seem to be hardwired. Similarly, if you look across cultures and across time and place that men when they look for a eight men tend to be in women who are young and beautiful and women tend to be interested in manual every thought that you would think that would socially construct that they would become the fighting or the other way around. When women look for young attractive boy marry and then but look for women who are older and bumpier, but it doesn't happen that way. In any society, as they have to begin 80. There's something in a yeah and then something innate. Whether it speaks of the creator of which this is a no-brainer for me in this, or whether to speaks about this is the way we evolve the sum is look at you, you can't. You can't deny these aspects, so to say these things though is to characterize you now is a bigot or a homophobe or transfer whatever the latest fold is and we are told all know there's a lot of science that supports the idea of your man attracted women's bodies and things like that you're looking at a much broader way and sing it just doesn't work itself out like that. It things Ben Shapiro pointed out during recent floods that you had women protecting children and men protecting women are just things have unfold a certain way, they certainly do, and one that I tried back matter that we will all be happier.

We expect that nature is a certain way and not try to push too hard again think that are at benefits.

For example, men are naturally protective toward women. This is a beautiful thing about male nature, not something we should attempt to push out of their psyche rightly. We like that aspect of masculinity, although effeminate, and the Toledo everything is toxic masculinity. I think men need to be appreciated for their by their good trait as well and down. Obviously, any life society going to try and try to push back on some of the last desirable aspect of masculinity like a tendency toward aggression.

The tort sexual predation, those are all things that we should be and think through specialization to limit.

Similarly, women are drawn to children and drunk parent the children should we be pushing back against that should be anything we want want to remove that aspect of femininity from our society now at the nice aspect of eminent nature. We should be doing everything possible to encourage it. Rather than say that that because it different from then that it somehow left her friends I'm speaking with more mature New York Times best-selling author.

Her newest book sex matters how modern feminism lost touch with science, love, and common sense in the home or the differences between mothers and fathers there are and it turned out that men bring national elector is the proper parenting. There are many studies that show that father than I my own like my own my own husband or father be more playful with kids more challenging my husband early 80s into the air and catch them again and they would wheel in my heart would be in my throat. They left it, and it often something about risk and about your draft and about stress relief and it turns out that when fathers roughhouse with their boys, especially that girl feel that more boy.

It teaches boys important traits that they will need later in life about how to handle conflict with other men and down all of these things are again innovate. They are cross-cultural, you will always find wherever you look that women are the more nurturing back. I now benefiting a craving everything up at room women mourners mothers and more nurturing. Fathers are more challenging when they went up father and mother at a playground and they see their daughter on the jungle gym.

The mother will state be careful and the father will say if you can get to the top. That's the way we are and it complementary and wonderful it it is.

It really is beautiful when you when you look at breaking this down and everything is equal. So obviously equal work deserves equal recognition, equal pay. There have been positive contributions of feminism as you mentioned, but as you have a chapter Vila different wants the there are beautiful wonderful things in diversity and difference in with the mother brings to the equation and the father brings to the equation in so many different way so that let us back this up a little bit because this flows out of the sexual revolution of the counterculture movement of the of the 60s and everything is liberation, etc. so women were not going to be liberated from their roles as child Garrison liberated from domestication and as a result, women have become more sexually active outside of marriage. Overall hasn't this hurt women more than helped women and heart and it hurt moment.

Court in which we all know about women who are struggling mothers attempting to everything, and an exhausted one, job loss or or act in a way that after all the time were familiar with that and that's one of the ugly family breakdown. But what becoming clearer in the last few years. One high-priced men arcane men who are disconnected from their own children are disconnected from society from their community, and very often are not in the workforce because they don't have background.

Think of being connected to a woman, the mother of their children that narrative upon birth building block of healthy society and it has been extremely damaging for everyone, and especially for children in the dissent also time with lower birth rates today that family children adjustments team the way they used to be so far is the more complicated thing I know I'm not going to hazard a guess about that because I cannot buddy back left and II would hesitate offering opinion when I happen when I am at the backing of the of the data to support it, a supposition, though I would say only that birth rates are falling all over the developed world, and it's something that little bit worrisome when you look at a country like Japan where they don't even have a replacement population and who's going to be paying taxes to support the elderly. That is a huge problem. But I don't want to extend beyond my area of expertise and and speculated life, this was in Japan you talking about having your robots take care of the elderly. It is his real crisis. I know I downloaded it down just because of larger issues with breakdown of nuclear family, or lack of esteem for babies and children so what when you were growing up I was 155 so you were growing up, and then within decades of each other and things like that.

There was a certain view of parenting of the home of of women of what was proper and improper. So now this whole this whole movement to liberate women does that lead to a place now where because women are viewed differently. It opens the rape culture on him so that sink, feminism causes a rape culture but but your your get a whole chapter, the author was happening on campuses before this break.

Let's just draw some lines or how does all this connect or when you when acted on important or that it Bonnard on the high-end and you remove the barrier to sexuality. I think it can open a door to the workmen and tell them that now now no big deal at stuff like a handshake. Why shouldn't you get out making tried it get away with whatever you can with any woman who comes within your orbit because remove the idea that this is something semi-sacred that ought to be part of a marriage and only there and so I do think it opened the door to stomach and you bad behavior by the workmen difference in speaking with Mona chairing her new book sex matters how modern feminism lost touch with science living common sense have I got a bunch more questions for you, but 30 seconds to write this book for I wanted for everyone but I really hope that I can quickly people who might not thought of these issues in this way I'm not trying to break the converted. I would love for younger people to get that book in their Christmas stockings or wherever and thank you know what I never thought of it that way but I think that something is right in relations between men and women have place understanding how to make better friends. You will be right back. Got a young person in your home or friend that would say not as crazy as bigotry spies old-fashioned in the book, sex matters, it's the line of fire with your host activist, author, international speaker, and Dr. Michael Brown voice of more cultural and spiritual revolution get into the line of fire now by calling 86643 here again is Dr. Michael Brown I'm speaking today with Sharon.

Her plan book sex matters and seen on TV with a co-commentator journalist, also a wife and mother, and I will get that right with him on about you can you can have it all but but let's talk about campus rape culture got a whole chapter on this what's going on. Why is it so important that we address this, let me pray I'm sorry but I really only have two more minutes. I have another interview head out, you know, I know you been to do it and I just am sorry that SRI is live radio were used to change were good really quickly.

I talked many in the court writing book down and I will argue that they know that is not the ideal not the kind of personal life.

They want and down that one of the things that I call foreign book which I have been done at Boston College and got it like that is a return to the ethic of dating and you'd be amazed. There are so many students have never been out on a date when you tell them what all about it. They're excited the idea at the idea that they would go out with someone that they have a crush on, but there would be no alcohol consumed and and would be over by 10 PM and got it fixed. Thank the kids because they think they would really have to interact as a human being one human being from another and that not not treating another human being is simply a emancipatory aid if you forgive my language got it hate Mona either get a run to another issue.

Thanks for staying through the break just to be courteous. I appreciate that and all the best on the book. Thank you so much I appreciate it all right so speaking with Mona chairing again. The book sex matters how modern feminism lost touch with science loving comments I get that in the picture. I don't get that in the picture there there we go there we go right yet it is fascinating when you realize how things have broken down. How people are just so quickly hooking up so quickly. Having sex and you know it. It cheapens the fact how tell you a funny story of their friends of Laura's godly couple and a little bit older than the than the ethic godly couple a great family and when they were they were engaged and again they were godly back then they were raised in good home environments.

There is no possibility of sexual relations before marriage and had to compute hike to a vowel pure for the woman was they were with some friends campus apartment. I forget something like that. Talking whatever it was, and the a the guy she's gonna be marrying when they been married 40+ years. Whatever.

He realizes that his fly is down, he stands up and zips is zipper up and she said is nothing left from our Savior, fiancé, flip his fly up that was that was through Bob's leg out it wasn't. It was unconsciously on his hood, but that's quite a far cry from kids, you know, hooking up and having sex and you know when they're 15 years old and listen the shift. The radical shift friends took place in the 60s by the white because we just bought 789 minutes.

I didn't know we had seven minutes maybe if you watch on YouTube and you have a question you want to ask me if you posted in the next few seconds and see if I can get to it.

Some looking at my YouTube screen over to my right. If you have a question on any subject under the sun. You want to ask me if you posted quickly I'll see if I can answer it. This is one posted earlier. Our team will will grab okay so the shift took place dramatically in the 60s and it took place in front of my eyes and I was caught up in that whole scene.

So again, beetles come to America in 1964.

That's the year after the assassination of JFK the year after Dr. King's I have a dream speech is a time of great upheaval in America that's that's two years after the Supreme Court removed organized public prayer from schools so it again. Vietnam War protests a time of great upheaval in America great change and 68.

A pivotal year tremendous change the assassination of Martin Luther King riots in cities across America. Cessation of of of RFK, Robert Kennedy and and then protest in the Olympics and just it, and revolutionary turmoil across the world may revolution in France, Russia rolling into Czechoslovakia protests in New Mexico and when the populace there.

One thing after another after another, so a time of massive upheaval, massive upheaval, and during this time, sex, drugs, rock 'n' roll, least religion just swept in and rebellious young generation, but the young generation was also searching and looking for something so this change came dramatically where just the way the girls dressed in school and girls being sexually active drug use and guys being racking to happen in front of her eyes and the radical shift is come at what cost. At what price that's what purity is beautiful and important. All right some questions.

First, the snow random shift on answering some YouTube questions so if you never watched on YouTube if you listen the radio that's also thrilled to have you as a radio listener and podcast, but you can watch on YouTube or Facebook S Dr. Brown ASCII Dearborn on Facebook or YouTube.

Okay, Isaiah 9, the prophecies there are they in the past tense key yell at you log on. Been the time. I guess for a child is given to us a son is born to us, these are past tense. So how can that be if it's predicting the Messiah will two possibilities. One, it could well be speaking of the birth of Hezekiah and prophecy spoken of his birth because he was the representative King in the Davidic line, but the not fulfilled in him for Phil and the Messiah Jesus or its what's called a prophetic perfect that you speak of something as if it's ready happen even though its future question was asked how I deal with believers who were closer to Catholics like James Robison first, James is one of the finest men I know on the planet absolutely devoted to Jesus evangelist to the bone of a lover of people. A lover of the Lord and believes that he should work with believing Catholics and I work with believing Catholics on stream and that's vision is had to bring those voices together and and get not to compromise in the evangelical principles. Do I believe Catholics are saved because their Catholic know my own understanding. I know this offensive. Catholics viewing and listening is a Catholics are saved despite some of the core teachings of Catholicism with the emphasis on Jesus and the cross is rightly understood, will be to salvation from the understood will lead to a dead works, theology, and of course that's right, differ with Catholicism more what I say to us child to struggling with same-sex attraction.

First thing I'd love on that kid and be more involved in the kids life than ever and I make the child understand these attractions are not who you are. They don't define you through just attractions and these attractions can change, listen to yesterday's broadcast interview with Philip Lee.

Get a book by Tom Gilson G IL SON get exact name of the book. I did write an endorsement for the really appreciate it but it's having conversations about homosexuality with your children rights of Tom Gilson G IL SON if you search online you find it pretty quickly. All right, since Madeline Murray O'Hare got particular schools and 60s.

The moral decline start yeah that's really very true David Barton's analyze that put out short, 62, organized public prayer removed from school 63 organized Bible reading removed from schools and Rye grub schools.

New York didn't have before. But plenty of other schools run America did get removed, even if it was just symbolic, even if it was there in a symbolic was just a generic prayer to God, a 22 word prayer to God to me. The symbolism is of removing God and the word from schools. So yes I do believe that that has been demonstrated. My friend Lou Engle got the burden to to pray along these lines and forth for the restoration of some of these things at least an appreciation the hearts of believers looking at those torts from the report. In light of Matthew 1242.

What did you think was necessary for salvation in the Old Testament.

So Matthew 1242 and I know the section but just having to look at the specific verse will come back to the second icon on the bench up your new video talk about why he doesn't believe Jesus is the Messiah. Yeah, these would be fairly standard reasons the Jewish people don't believe in Jesus the things that I've heard for for many, many decades now. And of course it can be gracious in raising them. But, but standard stuff. I would say for sure. Matthew 1242 says okay, the Queen, the South or rise upright. That's a new the section didn't quite see him tied with the question, the Queen of the South or rise up at the judgment with this generation and condemn it, because she came from the ends of the earth you the wisdom of Solomon look something greater than Solomon is here cemented entirely sure how that ties in with the question of Jewish expectation of code salvation in the Old Testament, the emphasis in the Old Testament for Jew was more corporate than individual, more corporate of God's blessing on Israel as opposed to individual salvation. That being said, it was believed that one had to obey the law of Moses believe in the God of Moses and obey the law of Moses in order to be in right relationship with God and were one fell short. There was repentance and atonement that was given to be made right with God. But again looked at more of a corporate level than an individual level, and we take those truths and that we bring them into the New Testament to show why salvation can only come through Jesus right it was a fun few minutes bonus questions. There back with you March thoroughly Jewish. There is there ready can you believe it compass
