We got answered stage for the line of fire with your host activist all the 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 have president of fire school of ministry get into the line of fire valves like always 866-34-TRUTH that's 866-34-TRUTH euro. Jim is Dr. Michael Brown. I am absolutely ready for your call for your question or call 86487884 as we always do on Friday any question of any kind that you want to ask me anything in any area of expertise like an offer help biblical, theological, cultural, or experiential. Anything that touches on areas of interest we have here on the line of fire. The phone lines are open 866-348-7884 got in from Israel by way of London last night.

Old seven thirtyish at the airport in Baltimore but in the Baltimore area invented very heavy storms in recent days that there was a fatality in Ellicott city, right where I am now back in Maryland as speaking at a conference critique of the messianic Jewish network of leaders and congregations that I work with closely over the years and the luggage start to come out very quickly actually thought great good to get to the hotel quickly and then stopped, and it states.they kept us updated with announcements, but the weather got so bad they had to stop bringing in bags not to know if it was lightning. I love just the intensity of the rain coming down. But in all my decades of travel. I've never had that happen where they had to suspend bringing bags and not that I remember. Anyway, so probably about an hour and 1/2 wait there.

I got to talk to a little bit to a boxer from England that I hadn't heard of before, but we are back good night sleep and ministered this morning and thrilled to be back on the radio with you. Those who were used to watching the the lifestream watching on YouTube and Facebook. You can listen and you can listen/watch in that sense but were not doing a video feed today.

All right, when what was it Wednesday and Beit Jala right near Bethlehem. I did a mini debate with documenter Isaac who is with the conference director at Christ at the checkpoint is a biblical scholar and a Lutheran pastor and we were debating replacement theology, and he will want to emphasize that he does not hold to replacement theology that is not believe the church replaced Israel but rather that all believers become part of Israel and that things had not been redefined to instead of a land promised to Israel is a spiritual promise to everyone and everyone participate together and I said you know the same end result.

There are no existing promises that remain for the Jewish people and we don't get the land that you get to inherit the whole world. The church of AdSense inherits the whole world get this little slice a land we don't get it replacement theology. We hope to have the video up for that very soon along with my message from Christ is the checkpoint okay I'm going straight to the phone. Starting in Greensboro, North Carolina. Jim your first up welcome to the line of fire. Thank you very much. Good afternoon. I was never in question to the Passover. Is it okay for the church that observed the Falco Shirley absolutely let me ask you first. Why you ask and in what way you would observe well from government how I would observe it other than economic era. Yes or okay excellent first Corinthians chapter 5, Paul is writing to the Corinthians in these documents in in their midst and he says look a little leaven leavens the whole lump. In any cyst for Messiah, our Passover in our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed for us.

Let us therefore keep the feast and get rid of the old leaven now it's possible he was speaking to them in a metaphorical spiritual way.

Remember a lot of the Corinthians had first heard the gospel because they were in the synagogue, they were converted to Judaism, but they were God mirrors they were Gentiles who feared and worship the God of Israel and held to certain basic commandment and therefore they would be fully familiar with what Passover meant for Paul to say let us keep the Passover and yet for it to be wrong to do it even if you minute metaphorically certainly is not wrong to do it.

The other question is how would you do it if you went to the home of a Jewish friend that was not a believer in Yeshua you would participate in a celebration of the Exodus from Egypt, that's great, that's fine, but it would end their the best thing is to look for a messianic Jewish congregation in your area and they will always have most of them will have an annual Passover Seder but still go through some of the tradition in the celebration of our deliverance from Egypt, but then they will culminate in that, and resurrection of the Messiah, but absolutely if there is if there is any holiday that is appropriate for Christians to participate in the Passover at the top of the list to thank you for calling Sir 866-348-7884 of one other thing of interest.

I hope you see them. By now our video or six minutes illustrated video can you be gay and Christian. But what happened was we started we started getting lots of angry responses from those in the LGBT community say wise is being advertised. One of my channels and I just want to watch and gay content will we were given some money to help promote and advertise the video and I guess says YouTube/Google is looking for different places that play them because of the subject matter they put them on these LGB channels LGBT channels as well as biblical tiles and other things. So this just an article on agape website that's angry with you, to promoting code anti-gay content on their stations that fill channels that was never my intent and I did make the arrangements for you to, but we just hope and fear of it here.

They did their watches after review it then issue the keywords involved in and it's a very gracious video of the Senate to anyone calling it hatred has to discolor hatred because of their own positions, not because the syllable that we say audit that that being the case, that being the case, it is interesting that now the videos getting even more play and more tension in the LGBT community.

B that the truth of the gospel go for. I would go to New Brunswick how to hate reason I'm not sure when you last called and we have a how often we can call but I'm just back from Israel is over jet lag. So even if you called yesterday.

Welcome back so thanks for calling Michelle a note from I think it was the mic that I cannot work that your your your present legal and also good to hear. It was just wondering about the with the significance of the highest places in the Old Testament they know in the kingdom Chronicles and often says that such and such king remove the idols but didn't care students stop people from worshiping in the high places. I'm just wondering if you could elaborate on what she did the initial first let's talk about what it actually was high places were literally high places can go up on a hill or go up somewhere on the mountain and there you would offer sacrifices to your particular deity.

This was commonly done in the ancient world, and it's still something done today where people get up to a higher physical location, thinking somehow that will bring them closer to the deity something like that so this is what was done, but they were primarily used for worshiping idols and it Israel – they were used to worship Yahweh and sacrifices were offered they are. That should've been offered in the temple but the Israelites still did that at their worst, they were used to offer up I sacrifices to other gods, not interestingly, recent. When I was in India. One trip in their 25 times but was talking to one of my friends there. They were building a hospital on on the side of a mountain and they should is creating a lot of hostility to Christian hospital and there can I buy a prayer tower and things like that because it was good to be higher than the highest Hindu temple in the city and were told that the Hindus wanted their place to be the highest development is most prominent as well.

So whatever way people still tend to think like this but in the rarest of rare times.

The king like Josiah would even go after the high places no matter what they were used were because worship interview sacrifices were only take place at the temple, but if you want to.

If you want to liken this to spiritual life. Let's just say that when it says the king did this this this, but didn't stop them worshiping a high places that they worshiping to Yahweh, which is not according to the Torah fabric that would be like a believer.

Let's just say you gets a and and you were into pornography and you are a heavy drinker and and you gambled heavily and and you have this method recasts so little money from your job. And as you got one of the first three things but you still feel a little money do the same thing you know you repented of this business, but you didn't deal with this and I think Danielle right, we cannot look at it in terms spiritual application in our own lives that we we often do that that we we don't fully surrender. We we deal with certain issues but don't fully surrender eight. Thank you for calling Reese. Always good to talk to you in Canada, 866-34-TRUTH selected North Carolina and Winston-Salem. Douglas walking to the line of fire. Thank you Dr. Brown nominated talk to you first.

First time I've ever spoken to your brothers preprogram party. Thank you for I appreciate that. Go ahead. Dr. Brown a very tricky while pastors suing or taking the time to go. Apostle tired of the prophet when there is no first name is according to Scripture and then temperature. Sirocco duck now. Why are they doing? To be our best on our order now all just with very all right will thank you, Douglas, and then what a joy to speak with you sir as well.

Thank you for being a faithful listener. Okay number one. Even though the Bible talks about being called pastors or evangelists. It never says to use that title in front of the name we just got used to it. Pastor Smith evangelist Jones but really biblically you didn't put the title in front of your name next to something that we've done and were used to doing that in the same way where people believe their apostles and prophets alive today not also like the 12 apostles. With that authority. Apostle is Lazarus, leader of a ministry that is that right back initiatives on the break. More your questions because I light a fire with your host Dr. Michael Brown get into the line of fire now by calling 860 Jim is Dr. Michael Brown.

I do believe that God raises up past event. There are people with genuine apostolic calling and ministry. They may have a network of thousands of churches they planted. They may pioneer a new ministry work in a region and I believe that they function as part of the apostles, just not like the 12 or those writing Scripture like Paul, they do not have that kind of authority, but absolutely functioning in apostolic way. So in numbers that are not primarily a local church pastor only a local church pastor and just like you might be familiar with, shall be called to ship and yet knowing the problems they put Bishop confirm someone's name. It was simply describing what they were doing or what their ministry calling our office was it's the same with apostle and I believe there prophets today people. God speaks to give insight gives insights to them. Certain special ways, but they're not writing the Bible having authority, like Isaiah or Jeremiah did there, like other New Testament prophets whose words were not considered Scripture but were considered to be words that God was speaking, it would be as if I was praying Christian brother. I really, essentially about have a major move.

I even see you relocating it important. Don't be afraid if you do, it is a man you I out just about that. I'm making a major move and I'm nervous as noticeable or the truly comforting condition or add or take away from the Bible right but that would be a way that a modern-day prophetic ministry can operate. That being said, I understand that it can be confusing if you see apostle in front of someone's name or profit from medicine was interesting was it that make him like the apostle Peter, or like Jeremiah. Of course it doesn't, and I would personally prefer that we don't put any title in front of all right that we can put pastor in front of the name or evangelist in front of the name or profit or possibly because we do is simply identifying the calling on that person's life and how God uses them now doesn't mean that because you put a name for Tyler. I met you actually are not necessarily I'm I call myself evangelist Mike Brown but not be called to be an evangelist. I might call myself Pastor Mike Brown and not be called to be a real Shepherd; as a prophet like Brandon not be a true prophet, so putting the title in front of her name doesn't prove anything is how we live our lives and the anointing that God puts on us all right.

Let's go to Orlando, Florida. George welcome to the line of fire about item very well, thank you.

Yeah I just had a question and I was old Bible cover to cover and I know what the truth is, but I just want you kind of fill in the blanks for me to pretty technical question ideas in Jeremiah 31 versus 31 to 34 in the outline for the new covenant days are directed.

It is directly on its in the text directly toward the house of Israel after the house of Judah to agency on the two ancient kingdoms of Israel. I guess the thing is, is there a citation that you can give me from Jeremiah or even from any Old Testament prophet, where God said that the new covenant would also be for the Gentiles connection. Question George. Sometimes the church has rented as if the church is the new Israel and the new Judah which is not the case.

For example, in Romans 11. Pulses are writing to Gentiles as a want to provoke Israel to envy to the Gentiles to become Israel and enrich Israel to speak of the Gentiles and we see clearly that the benefits of the new covenant through the Messiah are offered to all and that's throughout the New Testament we see in Ephesians 2 that Gentile believers are fellow citizens in God's household, together with Jewish believers. The question would be where do we find that in the Old Testament and what I would suggest in terms of that the best place to look for things like this would be in messianic passages. For example in in the book of Isaiah. All right. And where you will have passages about Gentile into being joined together or you know Isaiah 6. In God's house being a house of prayer for all nations for the end of Isaiah 19, where Israel Syria and Egypt will all serve Yahweh together and that Israel will be the third part along with these two. And you could see habitats for a future error.

We have the fullness of the realization of the new covenant is for the future as well. It is not been made with the entire house of Israel and Judah with not entered into the fullness of it simply the beginning of it.

This is the seed for the fullness will be. Oh, when when the Lord's kingdom is established fully on the earth, so Paul recognizes that that prophesied error of doing Gentile coming together as one has a ready broken in. Now and we can begin to live that out. So I would say the way that we would have they hinted that is all of these passages in the prophetic books about Jew and Gentile, worshiping the God of Israel together. Will hasn't happened.

Well, obviously were all experiencing those covenant blessings together and this is what's prophesied in Jeremiah about that errors these passages are telling us going to happen.

The New Testament tells us it's now begun the massage work is now begun to bring that to pass. To me that's the most explicit way to show how Jew and Gentile join together in the new covenant that makes sense to you. Yeah so although the specific passage in Jeremiah 3130 1B toward health, the end of Judah. Other colleges that was seem to be a unification of Jew and Gentile Canada and brings me the Gentile telegraph, myself and kind of yesterday to Commissioner George did you look at it is the same principle the same way.

This is Messiah of Israel any counts as the Messiah of Israel, and in Matthew one says that he will save his people from their sins, his people right and is coming to the lost sheep of the house. Mr. Matthew can I come over to the lost sheep, the house of his 24 repentance forgiveness of sins must be preached to all nations. The beginning injures into the next 18. Beginning in Jerusalem. So that's where the covenant is made because there was no covenant with the Gentile people to make a new covenant with the been the Sinai covenant with Israel. Now the new and better covenant to the Messiah coming to the world, inaugurates that now is a socially save the world that now goes out to the nations almost passages about Jew and Gentile, serving God together in the messianic era we see the beginning, the firstfruits of them now requested. 866 or truth of the Washington DC Sean walking to the line of fire and Dr. Brenner.

Welcome back.

Thanks for taking my call.

Thank you sir, I had a question, at a place in my spiritual walk with Christ that I don't know the weight on conveyors other than chronic challenging what I've always thought not against the truth just begins of certain doctrine, for instance, I always been part raised pre-tribulation rapture as far as first Thessalonians 416 to 18 first Corinthians 15 starting at 51 to 56. But I know your position is post-tribulation.

I really wanted in a study that kind of waste that can you know my position is pre-tribulation rapture.

So is there any sources or core scriptures that you would know right off really some resources I can do the digging and young, study for myself and arrive at my own no conclusion. However, the lordly yet you bet and eventually redo it honoring our brothers and sisters who differ therein are some of the finest Christians I know the world culture pretrip rapture which you have been for four years, all right.

The book Dr. Craig Keener and I have written not afraid of the antichrists why we don't believe in the pretrip rapture that comes out in March to just put that on your list rounding container not afraid of the antichrists that comes out in March so that'll be a real help to you. The first thing I'd encourage you to do is ask yourself the passages that you familiar with witnesses anything about pretrip witness versus warning say a word about order of things with tribulation were dispersed within 15 say a word about things.

It doesn't simply tell us what's can happen were caught up to me as of one number two read to second Thessalonians 1 into the second Thessalonians chapter 1 and chapter 2 and there you'll see that out. By the way, everyone listening. I am doing my broadcast live from a hotel where this seemed to be a party with little kids running and jumping outside my door so to have a break and asked the quiet but anyhow right so. Second Thessalonians 1 says that we will receive relief when the Lord comes in flaming fire taking vengeance on emotionalism. God.

Second Thessalonians 2 sisters that they can only come after the apostasy and the revealing of the antichrists, so that's quite explicit and then you check this out. Sean Matthew 24 Matthew 24 says that that the Messiah will come to the whole world to see him and he comes with what the sound of the trumpet right with this in the same first Corinthians 15 at the last trumpet is one were rapture, but there's a trumpet with the whole world sees him as the first Thessalonians forces through the trumpet and doesn't Revelation 11 say when that seventh trumpet, the seventh of seven which is the last trumpet sounds that is now announced the kingdoms of this world have become the kingdom of our God is the sign he will reign forever and ever so when I understand his will that last trumpet sounds the whole world sees him coming and at that moment, we are caught up to meet him before the whole world to send this glorious site you on these things pray right back in the line of fire with your host Dr. Michael Brown voice informed cultural and spiritual revolution.

Here again is Dr. Michael Brown well back live in the state.

That's the good news good night sleep and I guess about 12 hours after I got in last night, get up to minister this morning to get to my hotel on the 930 10 at night was speaking at 930 this morning, but all is well and I tell you, once again eating healthily these massive, massive dividend gives strength and vitality.

Bounce back and to keep going that that that's the good news bad news is I have an Italy trip next week so we've really gobbling after the Thursday night broadcast next week to traveling through the night and then an Italy ministering Friday night, Saturday and Sunday and then flying back to the dispute over few days and I think Italy and in Israel describe the painting times are the same times of the time to figure out if I should get a normal schedule form over few days. But anyway, here we are ready to go 866-34-TRUTH terminated for any question of any kind whatsoever in any area of expertise. I have give me a call and let's go to Richmond, Virginia Tammy, welcome to want to fire.

Thank you. Welcome to ask about the Temple Mount and Iraq at the dam right After years of psychotherapy that I wanted to not UNIX rain and lack what about you. The Temple Mount is a physical location right. The dome of the rock is a mosque that is built on the Temple Mount. Two mosques that were built there by Islamic Islamic leaders rulers that took over the area. The first, the dome of the rock, which is the larger and more prominent where Muslims go to pray on a daily basis and then the Al-Aqsa mosque not far away smaller also a sacred place through 12 were Muslims going. Pray on a daily basis now that entire area is under Israeli control for many many centuries it was outside of Jewish control that is under Israeli control, and it is all on the Temple Mount.

The dome of the rock, in particular on the Temple Mount would be a place where, as I understand it, if 1/3 Temple was built the third Temple would be built there, but it is under Israeli control. However, Israel protects the Muslims right to be there so the dome of the rock is up higher where Jews go to prayers by the wall of cold Wailing Wall. The producers colorful wall and that's in one area and then above that and just a little bit off from there. Is the dome of the rock course was just over there a few days ago.

So Israel make sure that Muslims only can go in there and pray that no one disrupts their sacred sites and within that they've given Muslims control of a lot of things. In fact, complaint that Islamic leadership has tried to destroy some ancient artifacts and dig underwear. The ancient temple wasn't a destroy of what would be ancient ruins of great value archaeologically, but it's under Israeli control, and then within that Israel gives the Islamic leadership control under them to preserve their sites and things like that. The Temple Mount physical geographical place dome of the rock mosque built there. Okay thank you very welcome hey friends, you want to see this firsthand walk the site see them with your own eyes join me and Scott focus good Israel next year yet. February 1-10. It's all my website.

Dr. Brown's like to thank you and thank you for your faithfulness, thank God for the children of God, and is more Gentiles are fallen asleep.

For hundreds of Jews are coming to the Lord now since prophetic for this time I had a question which of Jewish backgrounds open, you could answer. You know Steven Spielberg's wife with respect above and beyond over the interview. Actual survivor pilot of the Revolutionary war Israel and are in. I have a habit I haven't seen that yet because it is powerful because you know they always say Israel would be anywhere without America will they only had four plain and although Truman acknowledged his role. He kept the embargo, so they have to smuggle those 20 that were used in the initial but they haven't lost the war simplest the Lord know I did here somewhere John in the Revelation that Jesus is the Alpha and Omega and someone said that in Genesis 11 in the Hebrew Alastair and so I looked up on the blue letter Bible to have the interlinear answer number faradays and there's no translation for the initial yet is because the event that's based on someone who had no clue about the Hebrew language yeah II can I get asked this room time to time, so, so Alpha and Omega. That's like a and C in English what is the first letter and the last letter of the alphabet children in the New Testament, Jesus is the Alpha and Omega. In Hebrew, he'd be the Allis and the top of an English he BDA and the sea.

Okay, now, in Hebrew there is something called a direct object marker of it is. It is used well before proper name okay or if her if the word has the in front of it so Hebrew in the beginning God created at that's all company acts the heavens and at your it's not to be translated. It occurs according to what I'm looking at here, 7372 times, that's possible. A couple of the things got mixed in there, but it is used over and over and over and over and over, and anyone who understands the grammar understand he read even just a couple days worth of learning Hebrew you know that this is just a direct object marker that you have the same thing in the Aramaic language instead of olive part.

You have good cause to sit in the first and the last letter you have the 10 in the last letter to you have yacht at just something that's done some Semitic languages that fit if you're going to try to make it some something of spiritual significance was Remer. Jesus says I am the Alpha and the Omega gotchas. I am the Alpha and the Omega right it is something ambiguous there, or if you try to fit this in 7000 steps of the times you have complete nonsense of the Scriptures. In the beginning God created Alpha and Omega, the heavens and Alpha and Omega, the air and on and on and on endlessly. So forget that 100% whoever told you that demonstrated you that they have no idea how the Hebrew language works. It's impossible that anyone knows Hebrew, even a little would make that mistake.

All right Marcus thank you for the call and yes the Lord is our Alpha and Omega, the Alpha and Omega.

Let's go to Shelby but we won't let us go to James in Columbia, Maryland.

Welcome certain want to fire Dr. Brown have a quick question related baby dedication or different christening understanding and if it's really necessary.

And is it scriptural okay so let's look at two different things. Dedicating babies versus baptizing babies right right. There are Christians who for many centuries going back fairly early in church history so that justice circumcision was the sign of the covenant in the Old Testament, so also it is with baptism so of baby Israelite boy eight days was physically circumcised right and then had to live up to the demands of the covenant to some would say that baptism is not taking that place and someone this referenced in the meeting. Where was the day the words of Martin Luther that baptism on the baby was like a garment that they will then grow into self of that that's interesting but I don't find that in Scripture. I don't find that baptism takes place in circumcision and every reference to baptism in the New Testament. People are called on to repent and be baptized to believe and be baptized, so I hold to believer baptism only, so if someone got saved, said it was baptized into the Catholic Church as an infant. I would tell them not to get baptized as an adult of this writing to do.

What about dedication.

There is nothing in Scripture explicitly saying that we should dedicate children but you have examples of you have examples of inappropriate example Hannah in first Samuel. She dedicates her child to the Lord know of course that was for full-time service that was at about about you give me Charlie given to think every firstborn Israelite had to be redeemed if it was the firstborn animal rights firstborn from the mother, the firstborn male. It would be sacrificed okay because every firstborn belong to the Lord would better firstborn son we can sacrifice child. She has it sacrifice an animal in the child's instead to the resistance of belonging to the Lord in that respect and all the all the verses about children being gifts from God. Everything having to do with the temple rituals after child was born with the mother would have to be purified.

There's just a lot that happened in terms of children and their beginnings being associated with the Lord. So I I think it's a great practice and what you're doing is you're really asking for prayer. This is what it is you bring up the mother.

The father the baby and you pray over the child and you say Lord we dedicate this child to use this child for your glory.

Keep this child safe. I love praying prayers over baseness of Pepcid and EMS to name them, to which I really have to think and pray about that kid's name for life of letting to great practice and interests is a solemn thing for the family and it's something that reminds you every day the child is dedicated to Lord of the room. For the purposes of God, thought II think it's great to see the reason why we shouldn't do it. In fact, I think it's something we should do to celebrate the new birth and to pray for the family that they would be the parents that God wants them to be all right.

866-34-TRUTH for truth. Where are we going extra toilet were going to chase Maryland next them will go that Sean Texas and Rob seen a Senate were called that white on the side of race hate.

Thanks for helping me with zest/discuss taxes real flowers and doing well driving it's the line of fire with your host activist authors, international speaker and theologian Dr. Michael Brown spiritual revolution get into the line of fire now by calling 66343 here again is Dr. Michael Brown. I racing great war. We go to chase in Lusby, Maryland, and Ellicott city right now with Lusby, Maryland really is just like just like regular certificate got it okay. I wasn't familiar with what looking to broaden up well. Thank you Mike about wanted to ask you a question about your personal view on on Christian music because one in particular I know you have Christian praise and worship music in Christian pop and Christian rap etc. etc. but the I wanted to ask you what is your personal view on Christian rock music using it and do the good or using it all depends on how we would use we would use it it it all is all 100% all depends on how to use with the messages how the people performing it for three does not know what you can have music that so loud that it literally hurts your ears damaged simple life that is not helpful and you could do things and situate roots and possibly hear the words of the messages just screaming and shrieking. That's not helping, but I don't see that there's anything holier in itself about, say, a note on the piano or note on a violin or a note on the heart or note on electric guitar note on the drum and certainly there is no Middle Eastern music has a lot of passion and soul to it.

So in in any case, yet there is powerful Christian rock music on a love and administers to me if the people singing it are godly and if the message is a good message then let it be used, not not everything is conducive with worship certain things may be better for outreach. For example, I think hip-hop and rap do very well for getting a message out where someone can really convey our lease a lot of scripture and a lot of message get it out and I read the whole book on the power of music come out a lot of those sometime next year. I think so. I'm looking at all different forms of music and how it can be used. Music itself is tremendously powerful for good or for bad. We know that side and the next time you're watching a movie or drama check out what happens with the music's not there no turn the sound them and suddenly it's nothing so you hip-hop and rap for example, when you get a gospel message. You can speak can send you call for righteousness and so on. You can expose hypocrisy that I don't know that this is the kind of stuff that you can worship with this because of the particular genre. So the way I've heard some forms of rock to me there's a certain shrill intensity to that I could not imagine okay how can I just take this and more than love you and I worship you, but I've seen it used excessive some grants from a ministry school years ago use of the tentlike heavy-metal and it was a song where the guy is crying out. He's been abused as a child he's hurting.

He's crying out there's a scream to it and it is his wife singing as the voice of God, come to me in the wow very there's redemption in it. So I think it's all how it's used in the days of the Salvation Army. William Booth was criticized in the early days of the Salvation Army. They would take tunes that were sung in the bars and then sing them but with new words and marched down the street singing them and and people would enter complain using worldly music you sent every note belongs to God, the devil took any will take them back believe Martin Luther and recommend this but I believe he wrote some songs to the tune of secular music and put gospel to it because the people familiar with the tune.

Now they hear the gospel through so let music be redeemed after certain forms can't be but I certainly think of the rock form which is very wide. Caps would be used for gospel purposes and has been for years, 8664 truth discovered grand sailing Texas Sean walking to the line of fire around all all patient any agreement. Did you speak to speak up right in the phone so we can all hear you clearly know a little bit better I'll listen carefully. Go ahead. All questions about the latest thing going on with it planted that the money for it. Specifically, your personal opinion on this.

If you and what you think of other preachers or compensators complaining, for if I am they give notes for service life loan other than the referral that okay X excellent question, and Ottoman ancestors directly as I can and Sean, thanks for calling the broadcast rights number one I wrote an article a few years ago when Creflo Dollar data fundraising push for a 60 something million dollar jet and and I wrote an article called why Creflo is not getting any of my dollars so I would write the same article Burgess Duplantis what he will be getting any of my money now listen, if he says God told him he supposed to have this jet and it's important he has it, because everywhere is going around the world.

He needs it will then you take that to you in the Lord and you pray through God gives you that jet you got that kind of faith in you can use it for his glory.

So be it.

Now I have friends of mine in ministry in their ministries own jets and or own a jet and will expect not one of these to the $60 million jet but it's very important for them and it and they are good stewards. In other words, where they go, how they do it. What your schedule is.

It actually works out well for them to do it on this and I just flew back and forth to Israel and I got an inexpensive business class ticket probably cost over twice what an economy ticket would cost a someone to help. That was voluntaristic to do the entire trip I got but I I shopped around we try to be frugal.

I was ringing of the team member with me in coach but I fly so much.

I'm constantly in the air. You know get home for over 12 hours ministering.

If 12 hours getting home and in a few days later going back overseas.

That is really important for me for me to be able to to rest as best as possible. Believing, then weekly shopper because were try to be very careful because people are donating their money to help us with our work.

To me it would be up to see to meet to me it would be if seen to be raising money for something like that. I see no possible justification for it. If you believe God wants you to do it then you pray and let God bring you the money or let some billionaire say I want to give you this jet.

That being said, so I absolutely don't like it. III disagree with it. I feel it brings reproach to the gospel.

I feel it makes us all look bad and greedy and it is for money so I'm grieved over that being said, it also agrees me when people who give very little money to gospel work or make very little sacrifice for the work of the gospel then turn around and throw stones – agrees many other such so discreetly just Duplantis's announcement grieves me and I think I'll repost my article why Creflo is like any other. My dollars NUI dowsing same thing this time around, but I know I know some folks are critical of everything and they give almost nothing and some other churches.

They emphasize prosperity little too much for they give in again and again and again and again and again and are generously supported gospel so let's be generous/let's encourage take your knothole year if if your car breaks down every three minutes you're not holier if you have to walk to the airport didn't have enough money for the taxes and make you holier is make you any holier find big jet or nice jet. Let's be generous support gospel generously. Let's not be hyper judgmental and let's call out was wrong what is wrong. They thank you sir for asking. 866-34-TRUTH all right Robin in Phoenix Arizona looking to want to fire around her neck and I am naked hockey. I just found you haven't told me about your podcast question is I don't want to be distinct and I'm worried about can you hear me okay yeah well I looked into Todd Friel from wretched radio ourselves and came to pick my spirit at replacement are not something that here in town such that sometimes will say something and that he disagrees with NN under his regular like Michael Brown are you that Michael Brown that he keep on demand. Yet he is beautiful. Johnson frantically dangerous dangerous Dr. Brown yeah got started. I looked on. Yeah, I III know your question is what's my beef with him. I'm only jumping into them with Mike not your hearts right now your tortured beef with you. I trust you got okay so a real real quick and I hope we don't get cut off the end of the show number one I'm charismatic and he's not in all debate that with anyone terms of what is the Bible say let's number one I'm charismatic, he's not and that scandalizes him number number two I am friends with people that he thinks are like fringe extremists, charismatics, and I know these people is all junk in the charismatic movement read a whole book called playing with holy fire by all. So I dress abuses, but people I know to be men of God who really love the Lord solid and the word servant heart doing a good job your he doesn't think the limp 70s told me that the one time one of the two times we talk by phone so because I'm friends with some of these people.

Therefore, if he believes there go to extremes that I'm somehow guilty of that as well. That history is bigger beef.

I think it was a kind of a quiet charismatic would have as big a beef with me so he thinks. And because I lovingly challenge Pastor John MacArthur and he's closest pastor because he is since expired flyer that was you and I see of something less. I love you man
