You've Got Questions, We've Got Answers

Let's do it.

You've got questions, we've got answers on ready to take your calls 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 have the president of fire school of ministry get into the line of fire now by going 866-34-TRUTH that's 866-34-TRUTH your again is Dr. Michael Brown will. This is the moment we've been waiting for its our Friday broadcast. That means you've got questions, we've got answers. That means whatever in the world you want to ask me about question beyond challenge me probe me on my all means give me a call 866-34-TRUTH 8784 you know I often invite critics I just tweeted this out often by critics that are posting and attacking me a call.

The show they sick while you sit around all day with nothing to do. I work a job I can call. It's funny that that somehow the that the non-critics I guess. Not that they don't work at all.

They just sit around with free talk to some of their Ebola call. So if you're able. Seriously, if you have a difference with me, let's talk about it because I'm not able to respond to 99.999% of what's posted online. All right, I want to address an important subject. Right now it's a question that's come up a lot. The question of legalizing marijuana not on them not talking about the question of medical marijuana. Right now it's a related but separate question. I'm talking about recreational marijuana states like Colorado of pass laws that it is now legal to smoke pot smoking pot lead to violence or anger is is there such a thing is is refer madness not not here's my big problem yeah I was a drug user, you know, 69 to 1971 started smoking pot went on to other drugs why I've had issues with it because I believe it remains a gateway drug. From what I understand pot now is much, much, much more potent than it was in the days when I was using it.

Does it impair your judgment. If you're driving this impair your judgment. If you're a follower of Jesus, can you be getting high and practicing. Be sober, be vigilant. First Peter five. At the same time but check this out the daily mail has posted this information. Here's a new article, a major study smoking cannabis does make people more violent project confirms for the first time that using the drug is the cause of crimes. Cannabis use is more likely to commit violent crimes. Researchers shown study found there was a more constant relationship between cannabis and violence than between alcohol or cocaine use and violence more than 20 US states have legalized cannabis for medical purposes. Now again, the medical purposes, we can debate that that's related but separate. I just want to address in my view, the insanity of legalizing it for recreational use. Let me quote down in the study right. The latest study by five researchers from institutes based in Montréal, Canada.

Examine the lives of 1136 men and women who were patients at psychiatric hospitals, Missouri, Pittsburgh, Massachusetts.

Rights of the radio problems.

The rib issues. We understand that I and and there's some medical use involved but look at this records were gathered from interviews carried out every 10 weeks for year after the discharge it said patients are using cannabis at each of these five checks were nearly 2 1/2 times more likely to have turned to violence and those would not use the drug.

The study pointed to significant findings regarding the adverse effects of cannabis use on violence and skipped out a little. Contrary to claims that violent people were drawn to use cannabis. Richardson's research is that it was cannabis use the predicted future violent behavior. All right, more studies are now being done now after state after state is legalize the use of marijuana. In some cases just for purely recreational purposes. More studies are being done putting the health risks according to risk in terms of driving and sobriety. Now pointing to risks with violence shouldn't the studies have been done first. Is it just a matter of the state, thinking they can make some money on this. Come on, friends, we can do better and we need to do better. I am not for refer madness not for a second all right we will be right back. Phone lines are lit up as soon as we come back I'm going straight to the phones to call 866-3487 84 if it's suitable for Christian radio. Your question will be taken her plan by the Expo line of fire with your host Dr. Michael Brown your voice and more cultural and spiritual revolution.

Here again is Dr. Michael Brown SSO on a smile on my face because I love answering your questions and I love difficult, challenging questions and lonely than I've learned and grown over the years of savage research to answer questions or will be challenged and things that I believe salutes to this 866-348-7884 we store in Canton, Georgia with Christopher welcome Sir to the line of fire. Dr. Brown hello how are you I'm here.

Go ahead okay. I tend mechanic to demagogue our advisory were not used to work for you Ryan Lambert. Okay, sure thing.

And lately I've been having trouble with the printers you can gelcoat very, very Calvinist last couple years I've become pretty big fan of Rabbi Abraham Joshua Henschel okay his writing.

And yes, this all right.

I do find them fascinating spot and for him to make a big deal about it because he's not a believer you which is very Calvinist, so he is very anti-line type and could be very anti-Jewish when the first light okay and I and by the way, some of the greatest lovers of Israel and the Jewish people in church history were Calvinist men like John Lemoine and Samuel Rutherford and Charles Spurgeon had a great vision for the restoration of Israel, so don't just want to go there to my calluses but I understand the words so I don't what all of them up again, but some would look at you in the messianic congregation and think you're going back under the law, you're departing for the centrality of Jesus and making Torah central so understand that they would have some issues there. So your question is Abraham Joshua has one of the greatest Jewish thinkers of the 20th century, whose writings are filled with great insights I use as a textbook left on the profits of use his two-volume study on the profits for for many many years. Many have profited from his book on on the Sabbath. For example, pointing to the Sabbath being a sanctuary in time so how could he have spiritual insight, especially from a Calvinist viewpoint, emphasizing total depravity, so he has no spiritual revelation. He's totally lost. How can you benefit from such a Christopher here. Here's what I'd suggest in short, number one, every human being is created in the image of God.

That's the first thing the second thing is that John one tells us that the son of God is the light that lights everyone that comes into the world so there is in that sense, a divine light that's been put in every human being, and then by our sin in rib alien. We turn away from that but the reason we have a conscience at all is because of God's law still being written on our hearts.

At the second thing the third thing is the wisdom of the word is the wisdom of the word and in that sense, anyone that opens that often presents it to others even if they themselves are not benefiting from it. They can have spiritual insight. In addition to that of Paul writes in Romans 10 about his Jewish people that they were zealous for God, but not according to knowledge, so if there was anyone on the planet outside of a born-again follower of Jesus that I would think could have spiritual insight.

It would be a devout Jew who is reading the Scriptures and meditating on them on a regular basis, they may not see the Messiah in the Scriptures, but there may be other things that they see in other words, there is some revelation under Moses to be something missing out.

Having said all that I want to be as candid as I can. Christopher, I have friends of mine who are religious Jews who, in terms of their own profession in their own consciousness are is God-fearing, is anyone you meet. I have I have dialogue with them for years I've been on the plane going Israel and just heard Jewish women talking and they're just timeout love for God is just the two of them talking and yet after after Shabbos after the Sabbath will do this and that it and that's why I wrote in my book.

Her hands are stained with blood that no people is so near and yet so far and to me that's very painful to me.

That's an agonizing thing. I don't deal with that lightly and and I say God I trust that you were right and just and good, and what you do is right and just good and on that day of accounting and judgment. What you do will be right and just and good, but it should tear at your heart because I guarantee that many religious Jewish families lead lives that in terms of their posture and decisions they make and how they raised a family and was entertained by someone are far more God-fearing, then probably the great majority of evangelical Christians in America.

I say that plainly and Kevin only for this legalism and hypocrisy in many circles as legalism, hypocrisy in Christian circles, but let's not just judge in such a way that we do it superficially.

Let's have pain in our hearts for those who were so zealous for God and yet missing the rekey that will connect them to the one they long to know, and I believe they want to know because God is drawing me Christer Christopher.

I hope that does help and keep enjoying the writings. Learn what you can from them and then pray for Jewish people.

Today, the cupboard bring them to the full light of the Messiah, 8663 freight 784 hate just real quick.

Want to mention to you. I spent the entire day yesterday in Tupelo, Mississippi with American family Association American family radio to Tim Wilde and everyone there did show after show after show there promoting my book saving a sick America this month and they specially were black and show after show after show that I did and then a conference call I did with supporters of the ministry. Later in the day they were so encouraged by the message of my book saving a sick America the message that it's not too late for the nation. So I helped spread a revolution of hope. If you have the book. Remember to post a review on Amazon once you've read it if you if you have it recommended to your friends if you don't have it go to saving a sick America to find out more. 866-34-TRUTH. Let's go to Chaz in Cleveland, Tennessee walking to the line of fire around and grabbed me. Sure thing water editor wrote for background. I have was born into a Christian family and leave my whole life in Jesus and everything still still do make sure make that clear.

But for the past 15 years I've had struggles with with fear and anxiety panic attacks and all that in here recently even even reading the Bible.

After just a few minutes. All of a sudden I get almost like you can you can sit… The lies of the enemy speaking doubt into your mind that at that gap a couple questions I like to ask in sure the first really is, how do we know that the New Testament portrayal of Jesus is accurate compared to the terrain of the tablet yeah okay so please first say this Chaz.

I'm sorry for you. You've gone through this and the same with fear and panic attacks as they can be completely irrational. As you know you could be sitting in a place of perfect safety annexing think the ground under DC was, open up so I really encourage you to if you have answered to really get some prayer and counsel.

Some godly people to help get to the root of the fears and and help uproot them so you can live it at peace and and free from these irrational fears and panic as to your specific questions. Let's help your mind where we can. We don't shut off for months, but let's help your mind where we can the difference between, for example, the Quran, which is written 600 years after the time of the New Testament and has no connection to a single eyewitness account of the New Testament is based on eyewitness accounts of who Jesus is and who Jesus was and what Jesus did and how he died and rose from the dead, and even with the Talmud, the traumas that there's a lot in the tall, but that's accurate. Tom even mentions a Jewish leadership training over Jesus do to be crucified or to be killed at the time of the Passover. It mentions that it mentioned some of his disciples having miraculous healing powers in his name mentions that as well.

But the Talmud is a compilation itself over period of hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of years to the New Testament documents are the best attested of any ancient book of manuscripts in the entire world by far far far from the time someone number two. They tie in with eyewitness accounts so that even a skeptic like Bart Herman who denies that the truth of the gospel wrote a book to Jesus, a six is existing of courses all the way to explain things other than that, go to Karam.org CAR m.wardkaram.org and just typing did Jesus exist. Our questions like that and you get a lot of good information and there many books that have been written, but that's a good place to start right real quick. Your second question, yes, I believe going the similarity in in the Bible between between things I like Mike and Dana were says that the daily sacrifice when you come to a positive daily sacrifice when when Otto Jesus came to propel at the same time.

Could it not be seen in a way that he did sort of abolish that God articulate stay right there. Since we come back on the other side of the break.

I'm going to answer your question and will will take things from there.

Stay on hold everybody I can get your calls in the order in which they came right back in the line of fire with your host Dr. Michael Brown get into the line of fire now by calling 866-34-TRUTH here again is Dr. Michael Brown.

Sharper and better produced to reach more more people so thank you thank you for standing with us.

Okay Chaz in Cleveland, Tennessee again.

I just will remind you, sir.

The key thing is to recognize this spiritual root of the fear in the panic attack and it's often very difficult to fight because how you fight, irrational fear, so I would encourage if you haven't done it. Don't look at yourself as weaker.

Some wrong with this can happen to anybody right. I got hit with this a couple times aftermost choking to death years ago will drive our cars from unconscious and started with us in the story, but I found sometimes. I was like and squeezed in situations or even a dentists office or flying a plane I could get hit and you think Patty fight that so unsympathetic in that regard. If it's going on 15 years to be a spiritual root somehow folks can counsel pray with you get to the root of it, but as far as passages like in Daniel. They could be read one way or another. Everything that is essential for life and godliness. Everything that you need to know in terms of how to live today and please God is laid out plainly in Scripture and the issues that where there is ambiguity about a prophecy could be read differently. Don't be troubled with the closer we get to these things, the more light we have and then here. I've I've studied these issues for decades in certain things are very dogmatic and curios. I'm not exactly sure which way to go but it doesn't affect my daily life. That's what I need to do. That's how I'm living. It's almost like there there is construction at another terminal and an airport. But I'm not going to that terminal.

So I let them do the construction and let me concentrate and get to the terminal round flying out. If you concentrate on the answer.

A lot of the questions will just put them on the shelf right out nonessential and sometimes there's more information we get it, everything becomes clear.

But God's grace be with you sir, may you find a breakthrough 866-34-TRUTH. Let's go to Michael and Fort Lee, New Jersey. Thanks for calling the line of fire by afternoon?

Yeah, I want to be in agreement that the abomination that court that relation referred by Matthew 24 is referring to Daniel 920 Daniel 920 I mentioned in verse four okay okay so basically what if the catalyst that initiated the countdown the last year. I will be no that were the final.

You know what you will begin and most importantly, does the millennial reign of Christ begin it Italy F Daniel 70 weeks prophecy include got it I Mike, I appreciate the questions was a little hard for four our callers to hear what you're saying. So to restate very very quickly. You believe that Daniel 927 the abomination of desolation that Jesus spoke also. Matthew 24 is referring to an end time event, it is referring to the Antichrist. The man of lawlessness that Paul speaks of in second Thessalonians to four. Actually, I read that differently.

I understand Daniel 927 to be talk about the destruction of the second Temple. That's the entire context.

The rebuilding of the second Temple in Jerusalem in Daniel. The ninth chapter, verses 24 to 27 speak of the things that the Messiah had to do before the second Temple was destroyed. There is no indication that there's going to be a gap of almost 2000 years between the 69th in the 70th weeks, so I do not read Daniel line 27. In that regard. I also see the initial application of the abomination of desolation having to do with the events leading up to the destruction of the Temple in the year 70 and that could be the Roman armies with their idolatrous banners coming into the temple could be referring to that there could be an end time application as well. Many prophecies are layered of the return from exile prophesied in Ezekiel 36 it begins to be fulfilled with the Babylonian exile. Its final fulfillment comes in our day as the Jewish people are returning back to the land still in unbelief but I do believe that if there is a specific seven year future tribulation as opposed to just a larger period of tribulation which we live as believers, that when I can to be able to say this is the day it started I'm post-trip in my own beliefs so I don't believe that will be rafted out in advance, but I'm think will be able say well here's the day the tribulation began it's not can it be that obvious, but we will see shaking and calamity on the level we've never seen before, out of which gobble do amazing things. And yes, I believe that when Jesus returns, establishes his kingdom on the earth. There may be a time of put cleaning up and and bringing judgment and sorting things out, but immediately after that. Yes, the millennial kingdom will begin for thousand years. I am historic premillennial, but of course I don't divide of the sensei Michael wish we had more time to talk about this, but with that the phone quality wasn't clear enough, are going to hear so hope that answered you from my perspective.

All right. You may have a different perspective. God bless on that 86634 we go to San Francisco. Nathaniel walking to the line of fire. Are you going doing well thank you so my question is around here are my three younger the tree cutting on a lot of people nowadays are warm sort of been around for a while are bringing back the idea of this being a Christmas tree and why Chris and your thought around that Hebrew anything different than that thing.

There's nothing in the Heber I'm just jumping in because I break Nono I discount that every year people: around Christmas time with that people getting a tree and ordain it or or adorning it. The tree it's means they cut them tree for up to make it into an idol, they adorn it because it's an idol. They worship all right. So unless you bow down in front of the Christmas tree and worship it as a deity. Jeremiah 10 is not talked about what we should have Christmas trees are not as a whole separate debate. But this Jeremiah 10 referred to cutting down a tree and make it to the Christmas tree and adorning it no now now it's the line of fire with your host activist and author, international speaker and theologian Dr. Michael Brown voice of more cultural and spiritual revolution get into the line of fire now by calling 6634 through here again is Dr. Michael Brown thank you so much participating in our broadcast without you there.

We take calls from our great listening audience. I would be able to answer questions you've got questions, we've got answers and my great joys is answering questions my teacher. Students of fire school of Ministry to being trained and equipped to be world changers is sent out to preach the gospel in America and around the world. Most classes start off with any questions. Anything you want to ask me so it is my joy to take your calls, 866-348-7884 that is the number to call. Let's start in Fort Worth, Texas. EN welcome to the line of fire. I grinned, believe that in Daniel where were you, the buyer must be cut off anything that I guess I'm not sure.

Learning from the word Messiah could be translated. Temple was I get there some people who don't who are Christian. I don't believe about talking about Christ and figure you understand the roommate you okay first. Your friend got that wrong somewhere that you misunderstood something that everyone knows.

But she often means anointed one, and if it was speaking about a particular person that was to come.

The promised son of David, it would be Messiah soaps will know that no one, no one, no scholar in the world thinks it should be translated Temple son unaware they're getting it from the question is, should be translated and anointed one, or the anointed one, or the Messiah will the words is not there, and it's even possible that there are two machine docs to anointed ones being spoken of in Daniel 924 27 first anointed one who would participate in the rebuilding of the Temple in Jerusalem and the second anointed one who would be cut off and have nothing and that second anointed one would be the Messiah who is dying to make atonement for our sins as opposed as written in Daniel 924 that atonement would be made for wickedness in everlasting righteousness.

Be brought in so the question should be translated so Messiah no deafly not that the word that is not there to translate Messiah words we normally just translate with anointed one, the word Michelle has found quite a few times in the Hebrew Bible Saul the king is called Michio Cyrus was called Michio of course David was she off so anointed one.

Michelle, who later comes to mean Messiah but I don't believe it's it's being honest with the text to translate that with Messiah and Daniel 924 27 better to translate with anointed one, and then understand who that anointed one is so of the high priest was called how Keohane, she off the anointed high priest, not the Messiah high priest so I do believe without question Daniel 924 27 is a clear prophecy that the Messiah would come and die for our sins, make atonement for sins before the second Temple was destroyed that prophecy along with others gives me that full picture. I believe without question that he is the anointed one, who was cut off with nothing for himself and that is being cut off is what brings judgment on him and forgiveness to us as we repent and turn to God in faith.

I believe all that but at this mean Temple Nono I think your friend just was confused on that should be translated Messiah. No doesn't refer at least the second anointed one. If there two different ones.

This that second one.

Refer to the Messiah, Jesus the Messiah. Absolutely yes. So it is a strong messianic prophecy. I believe that I've debated that with rabbis for many years and I've seen nothing in the debates that would stop me from believing that or holding to that hate. Thank you sir for excellent question. I friend since we come back I'm going straight back your questions, but just another word of encouragement, you can watch us notice you can watch us on YouTube. I tell you how we come back but if you're Eric they are chatting and YouTube. You will weigh in on any of the questions were answered. One of those questions are your listening on Facebook and commenting.

Please interact with one another, have added: if you're able. The line of fire with your host Dr. Michael Brown voice of more cultural and spiritual revolution. Here again is a relative, Michael Brown thanks friends Chaz a question on our YouTube channel chassis wandering and I said I will be able to respond but I just noticed this one of a personal question for you. Have you ever left a debate with another rabbi and change her opinion on any of your thoughts out. Nothing major, of any kind ever not not a single point that I can ever remember making that I've believed was important point that I afterwards feel. I had to revise based on something or are a rabbi said it in the debate and other things in my five IMs answering Jewish objections to Jesus that rabbis who challenge me on point to me which was a very minor point to the quotation of rabbinic tax that I knew it could go either way I thought okay because if you go either way on and on and change the conversation there.

There was a source that I had quoted as a well-known rabbi based on other two resources.

Another rabbi said I was there was a route among rabbi. This is one of my book something was well-known rabbi. I think he was considered a little bit outside the fold. I looked at it extensively as best as I could but together we we researched it actually is a French article that addressed it.

He looked at it and went back and forth as a general I will quote him as it is a rabbi he he was someone that's quoted in this Jewish compilation but I will quote them to succeed.

To be more of an outlier.

So there's been little things like that but major points of any any argument ever raise. Afterwards I thought all I gotta fix that a corrected no no never once no single time. I don't think it's because I'm pigheaded I think about this because of a great debater thing is to some of the signed proof of truth, with Jesus being the Messiah, 86634 let's go to Keith in Winston-Salem. Welcome to the line of fire. Dr. Brown on my question is A warning burst through and the questionnaires that God create the earth without form and void, or did it become that way and I know there's a lot of gap. There was Failed and not called earth come of what I wasn't going forward.

Yeah, not not limit let me say this, Keith. Aside from the fact that there is no biblical evidence for another creation. I got the story right. There is no biblical evidence that God created the world and since it was over that world. And then Satan rebelled and God destroyed it and the beings that were on the earth and their spirits are now demon spirits and it's an interesting theory, but there's no real evidence for the someone. Judaism has different traditions about different creations and constructions of things we can you suggest traditions that have come up that being said, it's not a completely wrong argument to make from the Hebrew so is it that Genesis 1 says in the beginning God created the heaven and the earth right and the earth was formless and void, or should be first to the Hart's iTouch over who the earth became as for the earth. It became formless and void another there other ways to translate those two verses as well, but that's the argument that the Hebrew grammar. There is such that when you have the noun before the verb that it's talking about of something called pluperfect that this had happened.

The earth had become formless and void people point to Isaiah 45. God did not make the earth total who formless, rather he made it to be inhabited, but I believe the right way to understand Isaiah 45 is he didn't make it to be uninhabited. He did not make it to be formless and void, but rather to be inhabited in the whole lesson of Genesis 1 as God brings light of darkness.

God brings order out of chaos by brings reproduction when there is nothing the question is whether the darkness come from, why is the cast.

That's a fair question that does seem to point to a larger issue where there is darkness. And God is manifesting himself as the Redeemer so I don't accept the gap theory.

Some of said it explain scientific issues and people that we think are human beings. These earlier fossils are not there there there the proto-and the Adamic race and things like that. I don't see it scripturally, but it's not completely far-fetched, based on the Hebrew I just don't see evidence for it and everything else. I seem I see in Scripture about creation speaks differently than that, just in terms of one-act of creation by God, so it's not as crazy as some I think it is from the perspective of the Hebrew, but I don't believe it's valid for many of the recent say thank you for the question, 86634 let's go to Dallas, Texas, J you are on the line of fire.

Dr. Brown idea really appreciate the way in which you you engage with chronic culture. A lot of people are just don't have the stomach but I got my question is about engaging in an appropriate manner and if it kind of principle, but there's a specific here because the been having a debate with Brennan about a specific issue areas a there's a new television show they just got launched on Netflix called me. It is essentially out of you heard of it, but if essentially like animated kid born in so horrendous it goes far beyond anything you might work people are really shocked and so in debating with my friends. I've been thing will my participation with net licks by sending them a monthly subscription fee is actually underwriting however small the amount.

Underwriting the production of the show like this and I don't want to participate in that. Yeah, I'm not big on you know let's boycott everything or whatever, but the proverbial frog in the pot. I feel like were getting so many horrendous things shut down our throats.

At what point do we draw the line in the family for yet. So it's a J it's a great question and one that we all face number one we never lose ourselves in order to engage the culture, though I don't watch porn to say porn is bad. I watched game of thrones, and save over the terrible show I've read about the content of game of thrones right but I don't watch the show I idle. I don't follow all the sinful stuff going on, participate in it in order to comment on all address these things to talk about compromise in society or worldliness or to challenge believers about what were entertained by. So of course you know that you would wholeheartedly agree. But this will make that plane nor do I preach from the themes of the world to be relevant to the world. Rather I seek to be light and salt in the midst of a decadent culture.

The problem is what we participate in, and not for example I ordered from Amazon day and night and they've always been great with customer service with me and and been an efficient many ways, but it is what they produce transparent which is is an overt trans agenda series ever seen it but again read about it in its award-winning and things like that. I use American Express.

I fly American Airlines and Delta Air Lines that I use Microsoft computers I mention that because all of these groups contribute to things I don't agree with and support. Things I don't agree with and sometimes an activist ways so to not participate in any of them would then mean that I can't really function. I may not the phone. I use the and on and on and on. So what I have done personally is where I feel there's a personal offense that crosses the line. That's why say that I can contribute to some example years back Starbucks in the Charlotte area Charlotte North Carolina so aggressively a pro-gay activists, and when I interacted with them and interact with them nationally. They make clear there with the support that they would support other community things were conservative or pro-life or pro-abstinence. A pro-marriage or things like that. So on a personal level, not a coffee drinker anyway. But I'm at airports of the tonic water there and that the days when we used to have sweets and brownies and things that have so at the personal conscience level. I don't give them my money.

If someone sits down Starbucks miser about war under protest but on the front of boycott phenomena never go there anyway just be here and there. This is a personal level, there are line sometimes when a line gets crossed and it's so blatant that disagrees me so deeply I say I'm I'm sorry I II can't participate so that's we have to do it personally.

And God will always honor that again you don't want to get away before I have to leave the world entirely. Look, we pay taxes in our tax dollars to go to defund Planned Parenthood right and they which is not used for abortions right we don't want to fund them. Because of the larger destructive work that they do so we have to sort this out. But when something crosses along with you personally. I don't think you can go wrong with say I'm gonna make the minor sacrifice of your my kids can't watch a certain thing on Netflix. I can't watch a certain clean series on Netflix because I can't give my money. I think I will honor that and then that's between you and God you can the soul impose that on someone else.

Cirillo okay I'm sorry thank you for calling Michael Brown walked in your right rigors of writing your your regular weird rabbi, so MS that the young and I think was March 30 of 1995% in March 1995 and rabbi menu of the late rev a showcase and I did are one of only 28 yeah well I will like to ask your question regarding your why shouldn't all Christians recall more shocking of those are all goals of the breccia yeah yeah Missy theme would be messianic's. Why only some called messianic number one. Many Jewish believers in Jesus do like to be called Christian because that means to fellow Jews were no longer Jews. We have departed from being Jews were not receiving Jesus you as our Messiah and said we've departed in and of starting the new religion and because many Jews have died rather be baptized in Jesus name through history to the apostate and and corrupt church. Many times persecuted Jewish people because of that we've often made that distinction. That's number one. So that's why I refer to myself as a messianic Jew in certain circles upfront speech of the Christians have no problem be identified as a Christian all depends on what it means to some example in India being a Christian means one thing Israel means something else so it all depends mature audiences, but yet all believers are messianic spirits, Jews and Gentiles to follow Jesus. We are messianic's. We are of the Messiah, absolutely true.

The word Christian originally was not referring to someone who belong to different religion but as far as we know, was given and only prison in acts 11 X 26 and first Peter four stores. We know it was given to the first believers in a derogatory way by outsiders. They call them Christiana Royer Christiana. These people, these related to this Christ requested Christos Christ Chris doesn't even know the exact name, but they were.

That's it would be like people I follow be calling a Brown Knights. That's what it was like and then it became a name that I hate. That's what you call.

Don't be ashamed that that's a glorious name and honor the Lord through it but can all believers consuls messianic yes absolutely. I'm good with that 86634878840 go to Lori and Fort Washington, Maryland. Welcome to the line of fire Brown are you I'm blessed thank you, have a quick quack and I'm in this church that that you bring musical instrument worship. What and so I just wanted your opinion on you each and 19 to Canada. I yet number one.

The Bible of the early church was the Old Testament correct in the Old Testament is filled with musical instruments. So since latch your Bible since it tells us know in the Psalms to praise him with all these different musical disco instruments. That's number one number two since you often see it associated with the Holy Spirit's work that for example in second Kings three Elisha can prophesy until someone begins to play an instrument and sing and then he can prophesy or first Samuel 10 that the group of profits they've they've got musical instruments because it somehow enhances the spirit and David places instrument and that and that that's when the evil spirit would leave Saul so unless I have something explicit.

Later on, telling me don't use what the Old Testament says to use your get rid of it then.

Then why would it be sinful and can often be as a set associated with the anointing of the Spirit. Now what it says in the New Testament was recorded in Ephesians 5 parallel in Colossians 3, sing and make music in your hearts to the Lord, does he can use instruments were that were making music in your hearts as a mink can use instruments. This means all the time singing within your heart sing out loud music to the Lord. This I don't use instruments.

In fact, music really presupposes instruments. Some have argued that the synagogue traditions and the Islamic traditions in the early church traditions are just chanting and not with musical instruments, certain parts of world. Yes, in certain parts of the world musical instruments have played a major role worship of God through the centuries. So I'm all for II think it wonderfully enhances the enemy to say this, I encounter God playing drums and worshiping him, I throw my whole self, and with it, and I believe he's pleased I thank you for the question 866-34-TRUTH alright let's go to Gary and Huntersville North, my favorite pilot Gary. My favorite part is that your YouTube name or are you my favorite pilot, Gary yes sir I know I am. I flew to New York a couple your committee out-of-control airport alright now I've I've met a few a few pilots that knew me as I've been flying so you are obviously one of those and I met Charlotte airport night nice dear if you and thanks for taking good care of us, always, always, always report of the plug on the blessing are just a few comments concerning the eschatology the retina or the timing of all the dominant called him earlier. Earlier I like you thoughts out there that may be pondered over here. The future maybe it just is what we got close time, so just go for Revelation 19 talked about glorious return. St. coming back with them. That being crew go to both Thessalonian 45 being there which talks about the in the night being God object that the Paris being a weaver in the spring happening unexpectedly, especially to the world right to us who are believers. It won't be like a thief. His retracting of the day, not the night which I world ill catch him offguard. Yet yeah that's correct. If there is or if it's true that Thursday hold rib rapture. How can this secret rapture back secret. If we know it cannot happen that we know what say tomorrow morning.

Clock tribulation star we have seven years to go through. We know what exactly at that point that when Christ is so hot is not prophecy. And with a host with rapture great great questions. Gary and I hope you'll you'll still fly me just as nicely if I if I differ, but number one I don't think we'll be able to say the tradition started at this moment going, you have people centrally started your tradition started there. The people have been wiped out in Syria and tortured to death that they could without the tribulation started so the Milano think the be that clear. First moment that that you know it. Secondly, Jesus tells us that even though Noah was preaching and warning the people still went on with normal life. So I think people will still be in denial even right up until the end and then the thief in the night doesn't mean that it's secret, it means it's sudden and unexpected because what we looking for we're waiting for Jesus to appear. We long for his appearing.

When he appears whole world will see him a conversation to be continued. Remember Esther to Brown.org is the place to go
