00:00:02.279 --> 00:00:07.879
Looking at our world from a theological
perspective. This is the Theology Central podcast
2
00:00:08.199 --> 00:00:15.919
making Theology Central. Good afternoon everyone. It is Monday, July the fifteenth,
3
00:00:16.039 --> 00:00:20.920
twenty twenty four. It is currently
three twenty pm Central Time, and
4
00:00:21.000 --> 00:00:27.120
I am coming to you live from
the Theology Central studio located right here in
5
00:00:27.160 --> 00:00:33.799
Abilene, Texas. Well I thought
this would happen. It's it's kind of
6
00:00:33.960 --> 00:00:38.240
occurring in real time, and maybe
a little slower than I thought, but
7
00:00:38.359 --> 00:00:42.880
it is definitely starting to happen.
Have you been paying attention to the sermons
8
00:00:42.960 --> 00:00:46.520
two point zero app today? Have
you been paying attention to the beta dot
9
00:00:46.520 --> 00:00:50.359
sermon audio dot com website. Have
you been paying close attention to all the
10
00:00:50.359 --> 00:00:55.920
new sermons that are being added?
Are you starting to see things like Trump
11
00:00:56.560 --> 00:01:02.960
shooting, assassination provident. Are you
starting to see a lot of messages with
12
00:01:03.039 --> 00:01:06.719
those things in it? Well,
I think that you probably are, because
13
00:01:06.719 --> 00:01:11.359
they're starting to be added slowly,
but surely, maybe not at the number
14
00:01:11.719 --> 00:01:15.200
that I first predicted, but they're
starting to show up. They're starting to
15
00:01:15.239 --> 00:01:19.599
come in, and this to me
is the most important part. Like for
16
00:01:19.719 --> 00:01:23.760
me, whenever something happens in the
culture, whenever something happens in the world,
17
00:01:25.319 --> 00:01:29.439
I am most curious to see how
the church response, not how the
18
00:01:29.439 --> 00:01:34.560
world responds, not how Fox News
MSNBCCNN. No, I'm not as worried
19
00:01:34.560 --> 00:01:40.079
about how they respond. I'm always
curious how the church responds because it will
20
00:01:40.079 --> 00:01:45.159
demonstrate to me is the church thinking
biblically or are they thinking politically? Is
21
00:01:45.200 --> 00:01:51.359
the church thinking biblically? Are they
thinking based off their own personal opinions or
22
00:01:51.359 --> 00:01:55.319
desires? Do they stay biblical?
Do they fall into conspiratorial thinking? How
23
00:01:55.319 --> 00:01:59.239
which way are they going to go? And like when the pandemic began,
24
00:01:59.280 --> 00:02:01.959
I tried to I turned on this
microphone and tried to warn churches, You're
25
00:02:02.040 --> 00:02:07.760
being handed an opportunity. Here in
the midst of great difficulty, tragedy,
26
00:02:07.840 --> 00:02:12.879
pain and death, we are being
handed a great opportunity. Let's use this.
27
00:02:13.000 --> 00:02:16.280
And I tried to warn what not
to do well. I knew that
28
00:02:16.360 --> 00:02:24.039
once the assassination attempt on the former
president president Donald Trump presidential candidate Donald Trump,
29
00:02:24.439 --> 00:02:29.439
I knew obviously the world was going
to be talking about it. We
30
00:02:29.479 --> 00:02:31.240
all knew that you don't have to
be very you don't have to have any
31
00:02:31.240 --> 00:02:35.759
ability to make any prediction we all
knew that, but I knew slowly,
32
00:02:36.039 --> 00:02:42.439
but surely the church and Christians would
start to respond. Now, I really
33
00:02:42.520 --> 00:02:46.479
felt that a lot of the things
showing up in the feed on my feed,
34
00:02:46.520 --> 00:02:51.199
on the sermon's two point zero app
I really thought Sunday would start seeing
35
00:02:51.240 --> 00:02:55.680
a lot of Trump related content.
But it appears many did not use some
36
00:02:55.879 --> 00:03:00.479
did. Some definitely use the pulpit
as a way to address it. Some
37
00:03:00.680 --> 00:03:04.879
they may have had a sermon about
you know, this subject or this passage
38
00:03:04.879 --> 00:03:09.360
of scripture, but they worked the
subject of the Trump assassination attempt in it.
39
00:03:09.960 --> 00:03:15.680
Or what they did is they just
they may they In some cases,
40
00:03:15.960 --> 00:03:20.639
it appears some of them they took
like twenty minutes address the Trump situation,
41
00:03:21.479 --> 00:03:24.360
cut that, then did the sermon, and which I think is which is
42
00:03:24.400 --> 00:03:29.159
interesting, like if you know that's
on your mind, instead of letting it
43
00:03:29.360 --> 00:03:31.919
kind of hijack your sermon, just
get it out of the way, stop
44
00:03:31.960 --> 00:03:36.400
that, upload that, then record
the sermon and upload that. So a
45
00:03:36.400 --> 00:03:42.719
lot of them took various different approaches, and I and I'm glad that they
46
00:03:42.960 --> 00:03:47.520
did that. I'm glad that they're
offering their thoughts and opinions. My question
47
00:03:47.759 --> 00:03:52.800
is. And I told you to
be monitoring this and listening because I want
48
00:03:52.800 --> 00:03:55.280
you to hear all the different perspectives. But as we listen to how the
49
00:03:55.400 --> 00:04:00.000
church is responding, do we feel
it's biblical? Now? The very first
50
00:04:00.159 --> 00:04:03.479
response I shared with everyone, right
from someone else. I mean, I
51
00:04:03.560 --> 00:04:08.479
shared my initial response, and whatever
you may think about that. But when
52
00:04:08.560 --> 00:04:11.360
I shared the first response that I
found, remember I received it in an
53
00:04:11.400 --> 00:04:16.199
email. That one was troubling and
disturbing beyond I don't even know what to
54
00:04:16.279 --> 00:04:20.759
say. Their conclusion was, Hey, Christians, as a result of the
55
00:04:21.000 --> 00:04:27.199
assassination attempt against Donald Trump, no
longer have anything to do with liberals.
56
00:04:27.319 --> 00:04:30.639
Don't hang out with them, don't
have anything to do with them, separate
57
00:04:30.680 --> 00:04:33.319
yourself from them, just be done
with them, cut them out of your
58
00:04:33.439 --> 00:04:38.279
life. And I'm like, wow, I don't know if that is the
59
00:04:38.279 --> 00:04:44.199
biblical approach. All right? Then
we looked at a response today and the
60
00:04:44.319 --> 00:04:50.439
subject of God's providence, God's sovereignty, and God's decrees came up, and
61
00:04:50.480 --> 00:04:54.519
we spent a lot of time looking
at that. Right, I try to
62
00:04:54.519 --> 00:04:59.040
help you understand God's decrees, God's
providence. I gave you specific questions to
63
00:04:59.160 --> 00:05:04.079
write down. And remember, though, so far, in all of the
64
00:05:04.079 --> 00:05:09.519
responses that I've heard so far,
all the ones that I've heard so far,
65
00:05:09.879 --> 00:05:18.160
remember Corey a Compretour, He's not
being mentioned. And Corey Compretour is
66
00:05:18.319 --> 00:05:23.680
the man who died at the Trump
rally. He was a spectator who died,
67
00:05:23.680 --> 00:05:28.079
and he died trying to protect his
family. All right, Corey Comparatore,
68
00:05:28.120 --> 00:05:30.839
If I'm saying his name correctly,
if I'm miss if I'm saying his
69
00:05:30.920 --> 00:05:35.079
last name incorrect, please forgive me. I obviously want to get his name
70
00:05:35.399 --> 00:05:40.879
right. But Corey Comparatoire, if
that name, you need to write that
71
00:05:41.040 --> 00:05:44.399
name down. Because so much of
this discussion, when it talks about God,
72
00:05:44.439 --> 00:05:48.560
when pastors or Christians are talking about
God's providence, God's decree, God's
73
00:05:48.600 --> 00:05:55.319
protection, God intervening, they just
conveniently leave out the person who died,
74
00:05:57.439 --> 00:06:01.040
and they focus on God preserving,
protecting his decree, his providence, and
75
00:06:01.240 --> 00:06:05.759
preserving and saving Donald Trump. And
it just seems like, I don't know,
76
00:06:05.959 --> 00:06:09.560
Look, that bothers me. May
not bother you, but it bothers
77
00:06:09.639 --> 00:06:12.000
me. But the bottom line is
what I'm trying to say in all of
78
00:06:12.040 --> 00:06:16.600
this, As the responses are coming
in, and I'm doing my very best
79
00:06:16.600 --> 00:06:19.639
to monitor the responses. Now,
listen, listen, listen, listen,
80
00:06:19.680 --> 00:06:27.199
listen. I am not trying to
monitor the response simply so that I can
81
00:06:27.279 --> 00:06:33.680
criticize. I'm trying to monitor the
response to see how the church is thinking
82
00:06:34.199 --> 00:06:39.240
and which direction the church is going
when it comes to well, not only
83
00:06:39.279 --> 00:06:45.160
this cultural, significant tragic event,
but how it may continue to respond to
84
00:06:45.240 --> 00:06:49.000
other significant tragic cultural events. And
as it continues to try, as the
85
00:06:49.040 --> 00:06:53.360
church continues to try to respond to
what is a you know, could be
86
00:06:53.600 --> 00:06:57.639
a very you know, I don't
know which direction the culture is going to
87
00:06:57.639 --> 00:07:00.720
go. This could become even more
divisive, even more. I don't know
88
00:07:00.759 --> 00:07:02.639
where things are going to go,
but I want to know where the church
89
00:07:02.720 --> 00:07:08.720
is at it, how the church
is thinking, And by monitoring it,
90
00:07:09.240 --> 00:07:13.439
I'm helping you be able to hear
all the different perspectives, right because you
91
00:07:13.480 --> 00:07:17.319
may be listening to different perspectives than
the ones I'm finding. So then you
92
00:07:17.360 --> 00:07:21.040
can compare the ones you're listening to
to the ones I'm sharing. You can
93
00:07:21.079 --> 00:07:25.040
then go listen to the ones I'm
sharing with you listen to them all.
94
00:07:26.279 --> 00:07:30.040
You can also you get to hear
my perspective. So you're getting a lot
95
00:07:30.040 --> 00:07:32.839
of different perspectives and you can just
kind of determine how you're thinking. You
96
00:07:32.839 --> 00:07:38.959
can try to compare how all of
these other perspectives align are in disagreement with
97
00:07:39.000 --> 00:07:44.800
the way you're thinking about this very
difficult and tragic situation. So are you
98
00:07:44.920 --> 00:07:49.480
ready? This one I found in
my feed tab on the sermon's two point
99
00:07:49.480 --> 00:07:53.519
oh app. I keep wanting to
say my RSS feed, but the feed
100
00:07:53.560 --> 00:07:59.560
tab on the Sermon's two point oh
app. This one was entitled assassination attempt
101
00:08:00.120 --> 00:08:11.160
slash Grace pastor Brian Butler assassination attempt
slash Grace. All right, now,
102
00:08:11.519 --> 00:08:15.639
now they you know, sermonadio,
you can have a long title, but
103
00:08:15.639 --> 00:08:18.319
then they want you to give it
a short title. So sometimes trying to
104
00:08:18.000 --> 00:08:22.160
trying to get a title that you
know works as a short title, sometimes
105
00:08:22.199 --> 00:08:24.800
you have to just kind of do
that. So I called this I think
106
00:08:24.839 --> 00:08:30.480
the Trump shooting and Grace only because
I'm kind of following the direction they're going
107
00:08:30.519 --> 00:08:33.519
to go. I don't know how
much of this we're going to review,
108
00:08:33.600 --> 00:08:37.240
but we're going to review some of
this and just kind of get an idea.
109
00:08:37.240 --> 00:08:41.200
I don't want this to turn into
like a seven part like seven parts
110
00:08:41.240 --> 00:08:46.000
to just review one response to the
Trump shooting, to the assassination attempt.
111
00:08:46.240 --> 00:08:52.039
I want to try to to just
monitor a mini over the next week,
112
00:08:52.320 --> 00:08:56.759
because I think I think they're going
to just slowly. I don't know.
113
00:08:56.879 --> 00:08:58.720
I think I think we'll be hearing
about this for the next two weeks.
114
00:08:58.720 --> 00:09:01.639
PAP. I think a lot of
people, a lot of pastors did not
115
00:09:01.879 --> 00:09:07.000
touch it Sunday, mainly because well, it happens Saturday, and a lot
116
00:09:07.039 --> 00:09:11.519
of pastors are just not are not
very good at like here's my sermon,
117
00:09:11.799 --> 00:09:15.600
boom, immediately switched to something else. I don't think some pastors may be
118
00:09:15.679 --> 00:09:18.759
great at it. I don't think
others have a hard time doing that.
119
00:09:18.039 --> 00:09:22.200
I have no problem. I can. I can change direction one hour before
120
00:09:22.240 --> 00:09:26.799
church, fifteen minutes before church if
need be. Typically now sometimes I can
121
00:09:26.840 --> 00:09:30.480
have a problem. But a lot
of times I've been studying, thinking about
122
00:09:30.519 --> 00:09:33.679
so many things. I can usually
just grab something and for the most part
123
00:09:33.759 --> 00:09:37.000
do a halfway decent job. But
not everyone can do can do that now,
124
00:09:37.080 --> 00:09:39.639
there's times I can't, but there's
but usually maybe that's because I haven't
125
00:09:39.679 --> 00:09:45.639
been spending as much time thinking,
reading, meditating. So I'm not ready,
126
00:09:45.720 --> 00:09:48.759
right, and so that's on me, but I think typically I can,
127
00:09:50.000 --> 00:09:52.679
and then sometimes you just well,
yeah, we can get all kinds
128
00:09:52.679 --> 00:09:56.960
of the reasons why. But all
right, but I think many Wednesday,
129
00:09:58.639 --> 00:10:03.200
those who have Wednesday services definitely address
it. And then I think maybe many
130
00:10:03.320 --> 00:10:07.240
on this coming Sunday, that's when
they're going to address it. I like
131
00:10:07.320 --> 00:10:09.720
to, you know, try to
deal with things in more real time.
132
00:10:09.000 --> 00:10:13.240
And I think you know, all
the pastors, especially in the sermon's two
133
00:10:13.279 --> 00:10:16.399
point oh app, you already have
the technology to broadcast, just use the
134
00:10:16.480 --> 00:10:22.639
technology to go live at any time
and talk about whatever anytime in real time.
135
00:10:22.679 --> 00:10:24.600
I think, I think that's a
great tool that we have. We
136
00:10:24.639 --> 00:10:30.399
can speak to God's people in real
time about what's happening in the world.
137
00:10:30.519 --> 00:10:35.440
And I and I wish more pastors
utilize the technology available to them. I
138
00:10:35.440 --> 00:10:41.000
mean, what a great tool.
So we will see. But I wanted
139
00:10:41.039 --> 00:10:45.039
to at least listen to this one
because this one was in my was in
140
00:10:45.039 --> 00:10:48.480
my feed on my sermon sermon audio
two point oh app. In fact,
141
00:10:48.559 --> 00:10:50.480
let me pull up the app right
now, all right, So the one,
142
00:10:50.600 --> 00:10:56.200
uh, the one here is assassination, attempt slash Grace Pastor Brian Butler.
143
00:10:56.240 --> 00:10:58.600
Please look it up, download it. I'm gonna go to my feed
144
00:10:58.759 --> 00:11:03.840
tab really quick. I'm gonna go
to the feet tab I'm doing. All
145
00:11:03.960 --> 00:11:07.679
right, what do we have here? We have do people who commit suicide
146
00:11:07.720 --> 00:11:11.799
go to Hell? All right?
That one was posted twenty three minutes ago.
147
00:11:13.840 --> 00:11:18.159
And see what else do we have
here? God's decrees and the Trump
148
00:11:18.159 --> 00:11:22.440
shooting that's mine about four hours ago. All right, here we go.
149
00:11:26.159 --> 00:11:30.360
See here, okay, we have
the Albert Mohler, the Briefing Special Edition,
150
00:11:30.480 --> 00:11:35.480
God's Sovereignty, Moral Evil, and
the attempted assassination. So we reviewed
151
00:11:35.519 --> 00:11:39.080
that. We reviewed that. Then
if I go further down, Oh,
152
00:11:39.279 --> 00:11:45.480
I guess what remember the church who
started that did that? What thirty five
153
00:11:45.639 --> 00:11:50.399
thirty four part series on Psalm eighty
three. Well, ladies and gentlemen,
154
00:11:50.440 --> 00:11:54.600
they finished saw eighty three. They
are now moved to Psalm one nineteen.
155
00:11:54.200 --> 00:11:58.919
So that's that's interesting. Okay,
I didn't notice that. I just noticed
156
00:11:58.919 --> 00:12:01.120
that. All right, there's another
one called a response to the shooting of
157
00:12:01.120 --> 00:12:05.279
Donald Trump. Oh wait, that's
me. Okay, I knew that it
158
00:12:05.320 --> 00:12:09.279
was me. I was making a
little being that in my own feed I
159
00:12:09.320 --> 00:12:16.399
show up numerous times. All right, here we go. Where maybe the
160
00:12:16.399 --> 00:12:18.919
one I found wasn't in my feed
tab? Where did I find it?
161
00:12:20.120 --> 00:12:22.759
Oh? I know where I probably
found it? Okay, hang on.
162
00:12:24.480 --> 00:12:31.519
I may have found it under the
discover tab, discover tab under newest sermons.
163
00:12:31.600 --> 00:12:33.799
That's where I found it, all
right, That's where I found it.
164
00:12:35.240 --> 00:12:37.519
All right, So hang on,
let me look here. Now,
165
00:12:37.120 --> 00:12:41.960
I did not find it in my
in the feed tab because most of those
166
00:12:41.960 --> 00:12:45.159
in the feedtab. But I'm in
the feedtab more than everyone else. So
167
00:12:45.360 --> 00:12:54.360
here we go. Let me look
here. Okay, what is dispensationalism?
168
00:12:54.360 --> 00:12:58.519
All right? That looks good.
Every critique of reform dispensationalism, right,
169
00:12:58.600 --> 00:13:07.679
those sounds like interesting. Here we
go. I'm looking. I'm looking.
170
00:13:07.679 --> 00:13:09.720
There's been a lot of things added
since the last time I looked, So
171
00:13:11.480 --> 00:13:13.360
I'm not fine. Now A lot
of this has nothing to do with the
172
00:13:13.440 --> 00:13:18.559
situation. I thought more and more
were being added. Maybe I was wrong.
173
00:13:18.720 --> 00:13:28.279
Here, Okay, I'm looking.
Okay, Trump has announced his running
174
00:13:28.279 --> 00:13:33.879
mate. I've just got a notification
about that from Truth Social Okay, all
175
00:13:33.960 --> 00:13:37.919
right, hang on, here we
go. Yeah, all right, so
176
00:13:39.120 --> 00:13:41.840
the all the ones I was seeing
must have been I don't know how long
177
00:13:41.840 --> 00:13:46.279
ago, because they are they're now. Oh, here we go. Here's
178
00:13:46.320 --> 00:13:52.600
one my response to the attempted assassination
of Trump. My response to the attempted
179
00:13:52.600 --> 00:13:56.279
assassination of Trump. So that was
posted. I don't have a time a
180
00:13:56.320 --> 00:14:09.840
stamp for that one. Let me
see here, Okay, I'm looking here,
181
00:14:13.200 --> 00:14:18.159
I'm looking yeah. So they're starting
to come in. Some of these
182
00:14:18.240 --> 00:14:20.759
now I cannot find because so many
things have been added. But they were
183
00:14:20.799 --> 00:14:24.240
definitely there a little while ago.
I don't even know where I found that
184
00:14:24.279 --> 00:14:28.840
other one now, probably I was
looking all over the app and came across
185
00:14:28.879 --> 00:14:31.720
it. I figured there's gonna be
more. I just feel like there's gonna
186
00:14:31.720 --> 00:14:33.039
be more. There was more.
I can't owe. This one looks good.
187
00:14:33.039 --> 00:14:37.559
A symbolic hermeneutic interpreting metaphors. Wow, that one looks interesting, all
188
00:14:37.639 --> 00:14:41.720
right. So there's always so many
things to look at. I just don't
189
00:14:41.720 --> 00:14:45.200
know where all the other ones went. But I don't see them currently.
190
00:14:45.840 --> 00:14:56.360
Let me go back here, yeah, okay, And I thought under the
191
00:14:56.399 --> 00:15:00.840
trending under the trending hashtags, they
just have Jesus, Gospel and God.
192
00:15:01.000 --> 00:15:03.120
I don't know if those are being
updated or not. So more was coming
193
00:15:03.159 --> 00:15:07.159
in. I just don't know where
they are currently. But somehow, at
194
00:15:07.200 --> 00:15:11.639
some point I found this one assassination
attempt. Grace obviously wasn't under my UH
195
00:15:13.240 --> 00:15:15.840
and my feed tab, so I
don't know. This must be from one
196
00:15:15.879 --> 00:15:18.039
I don't actually follow. In fact, let me go look here, because
197
00:15:18.080 --> 00:15:24.960
now I'm confused, do I actually
follow this one or not? Let's go
198
00:15:26.080 --> 00:15:31.000
to UH this church. No,
I don't follow it. I don't follow
199
00:15:31.039 --> 00:15:37.200
it, all right, So that's
interesting. Okay, Yeah, I don't
200
00:15:37.240 --> 00:15:43.679
follow this church. Okay, So
this is Cornerstone Church, right and Indiana?
201
00:15:43.360 --> 00:15:50.440
All right? So and Cornerstone Church
t r A F A lga R.
202
00:15:50.720 --> 00:15:54.879
Not even going to attempt that,
all right, t R A f
203
00:15:54.039 --> 00:16:00.519
A l g A R so somewhere
in Indiana. So I don't even follow
204
00:16:00.600 --> 00:16:03.480
this one. I'm gonna follow at
least in the meantime, so I can
205
00:16:03.600 --> 00:16:06.759
ensure that now that message will be
added to my feed and I can find
206
00:16:06.759 --> 00:16:08.480
it if I need to refer to
it again. So I thought more were
207
00:16:08.519 --> 00:16:14.080
coming in. Maybe maybe my initial
observations were not correct. I thought they
208
00:16:14.080 --> 00:16:17.559
were slowly starting to come in.
I'll have to do a little bit more
209
00:16:17.559 --> 00:16:19.360
look, a little bit more work. I know, I did a search.
210
00:16:21.519 --> 00:16:26.039
I did do a search for I
think, oh, let me do
211
00:16:26.120 --> 00:16:30.399
this. Let's do a search.
Let's do a search here and maybe maybe
212
00:16:30.440 --> 00:16:38.639
we'll see what happens here. I'm
going to do a search. Okay,
213
00:16:40.759 --> 00:16:45.840
here we go. There's a bunch
of sermons hang on, oh hashtag okay
214
00:16:47.559 --> 00:16:57.600
um assassination attempt. All right,
there's that. Uh, not as many,
215
00:16:59.519 --> 00:17:03.960
not as many as I uh.
Actually, some of these Trump ones
216
00:17:03.960 --> 00:17:07.759
are old thing about other things.
I'm gonna te I'm gonna type in I'm
217
00:17:07.759 --> 00:17:12.720
gonna try a different thing. I'm
gonna type in trump, hang on,
218
00:17:12.759 --> 00:17:21.319
I'm gonna try a couple of different
things. I really thought there was gonna
219
00:17:21.319 --> 00:17:30.880
be more. Maybe I was seeing
hang out. Here we go. Yeah,
220
00:17:30.319 --> 00:17:36.680
actually a lot of these are not. In fact, mine are the
221
00:17:36.680 --> 00:17:38.200
ones at the very top. A
lot of these have nothing to do with
222
00:17:38.240 --> 00:17:41.200
it. So I don't I don't
know what I was seeing. Maybe my
223
00:17:41.599 --> 00:17:45.119
maybe my perception was wrong. I
really thought more were coming in. If
224
00:17:45.160 --> 00:17:48.240
you notice more than I'm currently finding, let me know. I apologize for
225
00:17:48.279 --> 00:17:52.440
that delay. But yeah, I
was I thought more were coming in.
226
00:17:52.680 --> 00:17:56.079
Maybe what I'm seeing, Maybe what
I was seeing and I'm confusing it.
227
00:17:56.160 --> 00:18:00.319
I do get lots of notifications from
all my podcast apps, like all lot
228
00:18:00.400 --> 00:18:03.319
of notifications, So maybe I was
seeing all those notifications and just in my
229
00:18:03.440 --> 00:18:07.640
mind saying thinking I was seeing that
on the sermon's two point oh app.
230
00:18:07.720 --> 00:18:11.960
Obviously I can't find anything. I
don't even I can't even find the one
231
00:18:12.000 --> 00:18:15.119
that I pulled up. And I
know I saw it on the sermon's two
232
00:18:15.160 --> 00:18:17.559
point oh app because that's where I'm
listening to it on. So it showed
233
00:18:17.640 --> 00:18:19.359
up somewhere. I don't know where
I found it. And when I was
234
00:18:19.440 --> 00:18:25.200
looking when I got ready to pull
this one up, when I got ready
235
00:18:25.200 --> 00:18:32.119
to pull this one up, I
found I found a bunch of hang on,
236
00:18:32.680 --> 00:18:34.200
let me see here, let me
try it this way. Now I'm
237
00:18:34.200 --> 00:18:45.079
gonna and now I'm now now see
here. Uh no, really weird.
238
00:18:45.680 --> 00:18:49.279
Yeah, So there's gotta there's gotta
be a way. There's gotta be a
239
00:18:49.279 --> 00:18:52.960
way to I don't get to do
a better search, or something's going on.
240
00:18:53.119 --> 00:18:56.680
We will see. I'm still predicting
that more responses will come in.
241
00:18:56.759 --> 00:19:00.799
But as the responses come in,
so at this point. I'm I'm actually
242
00:19:00.839 --> 00:19:04.920
doing pretty good catching up and staying
caught up with all the responses coming in
243
00:19:04.960 --> 00:19:08.519
at least on the sermon's two point
oh app. So I maybe it's going
244
00:19:08.599 --> 00:19:11.960
to be a delay. We'll see. Well, look Wednesday and Sunday.
245
00:19:12.119 --> 00:19:15.920
If there's no responses Wednesday or Sunday, then I guess for the most part,
246
00:19:15.960 --> 00:19:19.640
the church is just not going to
talk about it. They're just going
247
00:19:19.720 --> 00:19:23.960
to kind of ignore it and move
on, which is which is interesting.
248
00:19:25.119 --> 00:19:27.279
So I know, I saw another
one on the sermon's two point o app
249
00:19:27.440 --> 00:19:33.440
something about Trump shooting and providence,
and that's nothing to do with mine.
250
00:19:33.880 --> 00:19:38.200
This was from another one. So
yeah, interesting, So we'll see.
251
00:19:38.240 --> 00:19:41.960
We'll keep an eye. It is
telling, like, I don't know how
252
00:19:42.000 --> 00:19:45.079
you feel about that. Do you
think the church should be quicker to respond
253
00:19:45.359 --> 00:19:51.039
or the church is doing it right
and either not responding or waiting. Now,
254
00:19:51.079 --> 00:19:52.640
in some ways, there's value in
waiting. There definitely is. But
255
00:19:52.759 --> 00:19:56.559
let's listen to the one I have
queued up. I apologize for all of
256
00:19:56.599 --> 00:19:59.319
that, but hey, we're trying
to we're trying to monitor it in real
257
00:19:59.359 --> 00:20:03.000
time. I was perceiving more.
We're coming in and if I'm wrong,
258
00:20:03.039 --> 00:20:07.480
you got to correct yourself live on
the air. I was wrong, obviously,
259
00:20:07.799 --> 00:20:11.119
all right, So let's look at
this and let's see how they approached
260
00:20:11.160 --> 00:20:22.079
it. Here we go, so
we are in Galatian six. But you're
261
00:20:22.119 --> 00:20:27.680
like, oh, okay, I
would be amiss not to speak of it
262
00:20:27.839 --> 00:20:33.680
about the events of things that happened
yesterday a little bit. There was an
263
00:20:33.680 --> 00:20:38.880
assassination attempt on President Trump, and
that's what it was. It was not
264
00:20:40.079 --> 00:20:42.440
he fell. It was not that
he heard a loud noise and ducked,
265
00:20:44.160 --> 00:20:48.880
as the mainstream media is reporting,
someone was three inches from shooting him in
266
00:20:48.880 --> 00:20:52.400
the center of the forehead. That's
a saund Okay, well, this is
267
00:20:52.440 --> 00:20:59.920
off to a bad start. It
was assassination attempt, not like the mainstream
268
00:21:00.519 --> 00:21:06.920
is saying. Okay. I literally
subscribe to every known news source in the
269
00:21:06.960 --> 00:21:11.480
history of humankind, all right,
from the New York Times, CNN,
270
00:21:11.759 --> 00:21:18.119
MSBC, AL Jazeera, Sky News, you you just named BBC, every
271
00:21:18.119 --> 00:21:26.359
Fox, you name the Associated Press
orters, you just named the New NPR.
272
00:21:26.440 --> 00:21:32.400
I subscribe to every single news podcast
in literally existence, and over and
273
00:21:32.480 --> 00:21:37.400
over and over, all of my
podcast notifications have said assassination attempt assassination atipt,
274
00:21:37.400 --> 00:21:40.759
assassination attempt. Let me just give
you a couple of quick examples.
275
00:21:40.960 --> 00:21:45.119
I got one just a few minutes
ago from CNN. But here's one Donald
276
00:21:45.160 --> 00:21:49.880
Trump explains get my shoes comment during
assassination attempt. This is from that ultra
277
00:21:51.279 --> 00:21:57.720
conservative website known as the Huffington Post. That's a liberal site. So I
278
00:21:57.720 --> 00:22:02.880
don't okay, where the hey,
this was an assassination attempt, not like
279
00:22:02.920 --> 00:22:04.599
the mainstream media. What do you
mean the main the mainstream media. I
280
00:22:04.799 --> 00:22:08.839
got notifications from CNN, NPR,
New York Times, you name the source.
281
00:22:10.359 --> 00:22:15.960
Assassination attempt, assassination attempt, assassination
attempt. Now, yes, essential
282
00:22:15.960 --> 00:22:21.160
at the very beginning, right when
the when the first reports came out,
283
00:22:21.279 --> 00:22:26.759
right when the first reports, the
very initial reports. So initially there was
284
00:22:26.880 --> 00:22:32.119
a little pause before someone called it
an assassination attempt. Right, there was
285
00:22:32.160 --> 00:22:36.000
a pause. And that's what any
good journalists should do, right, I
286
00:22:36.039 --> 00:22:40.400
have to be Now he was recording
this on Sunday. By Sunday, ever,
287
00:22:40.559 --> 00:22:42.799
people were already referring to it as
an assassination attempt. So to say
288
00:22:42.839 --> 00:22:51.160
the mainstream media like to try to
look, there's already enough division. We
289
00:22:51.319 --> 00:22:59.200
don't need to be util the mainstream
media and then us. So many times
290
00:22:59.200 --> 00:23:03.559
when I it's usually conservatives, we'll
say, yeah, the mainstream media doesn't
291
00:23:03.599 --> 00:23:06.880
want you to see this, and
it'll be like five seconds in Google.
292
00:23:07.000 --> 00:23:11.759
Well, there's fifty seven articles from
mainstream media. Looks like they're definitely talking
293
00:23:11.799 --> 00:23:15.440
about it. So you're just lying. The mainstream media is calling it an
294
00:23:15.440 --> 00:23:19.359
assassination attempt. I wish I could
pull up my CNN notifications. Let me
295
00:23:19.359 --> 00:23:22.119
see here, I've got so many
here, let me look here. Let's
296
00:23:22.200 --> 00:23:29.000
let's see here. Let's see here. There's BBC Associated Press, NBC News,
297
00:23:29.359 --> 00:23:33.640
the Ben Shapiro, oh here,
and now anytime. This is from
298
00:23:33.799 --> 00:23:38.480
NPR, Trump assassination attempt. That's
NPR, all right, Oh, CNN
299
00:23:40.039 --> 00:23:45.240
the attempted assassination of former President Donald
Trump that was just twenty eight minutes ago.
300
00:23:45.440 --> 00:23:48.240
All right, I can go on
and on. Don't tell me that
301
00:23:48.279 --> 00:23:52.319
they're not calling it and that's just
so not accurate. See, this is
302
00:23:52.359 --> 00:23:57.480
the thing. When we're gonna talk
about these issues as Christians, we got
303
00:23:57.519 --> 00:24:03.920
to ensure that we are stating things
factually. If you want to blame someone,
304
00:24:03.000 --> 00:24:07.119
I'm not part of the mainstream media, and even when I first started
305
00:24:07.160 --> 00:24:11.359
talking about it, I was very
careful about do we call it an assassination
306
00:24:11.559 --> 00:24:15.200
to it because we don't know some
details yet, we got to be very
307
00:24:15.240 --> 00:24:18.799
careful. Does that make me liberal? Does that make me have an agenda?
308
00:24:18.079 --> 00:24:21.920
Or does that make me trying to
be very careful to be accurate,
309
00:24:22.119 --> 00:24:26.319
because I even as right now we
don't really have a motivation, We don't
310
00:24:26.319 --> 00:24:29.559
have the motivation of the shooter.
I think they're still trying to get into
311
00:24:29.599 --> 00:24:33.440
the shooter's phone and trying to see
if he was communicating with anybody else,
312
00:24:33.720 --> 00:24:37.039
and that was the last I had
heard, so they're still trying to paint
313
00:24:37.079 --> 00:24:41.240
that picture. But I even stated
numerous times I'm going to call it an
314
00:24:41.240 --> 00:24:45.079
assassination attempt because when someone takes a
gun and tries to shoot a former president
315
00:24:45.359 --> 00:24:49.000
or a presidential candidate, I think
we can call that an assassination attempt.
316
00:24:49.039 --> 00:24:55.279
I think so so, And I
even stated if this doesn't meet the technical
317
00:24:55.359 --> 00:24:59.400
definition, I apologize. Now,
why would I go through all of that
318
00:25:00.039 --> 00:25:03.279
because I'm spiritual, not because I'm
godly, only because I'm trying to be
319
00:25:03.319 --> 00:25:11.960
as accurate as possible. So,
yes, the very initial reports because I
320
00:25:11.000 --> 00:25:17.599
remember what initially when I heard that
there had been some kind of shooting at
321
00:25:17.599 --> 00:25:21.480
the Trump rally, there was like
no details. The first thing I think
322
00:25:21.519 --> 00:25:25.720
I saw was from the Associated Press, and it was something like loud noises,
323
00:25:26.119 --> 00:25:30.839
loud pops heard at Trump rally.
It was very it was very vague,
324
00:25:32.039 --> 00:25:34.640
right like, it was very like
they were trying to confirm exactly what
325
00:25:34.759 --> 00:25:41.839
happened. And then maybe fifteen minutes
boom, then Trump shot Trump. And
326
00:25:41.880 --> 00:25:45.440
then immediately, probably within a couple
of hours, the headline started rolling.
327
00:25:45.559 --> 00:25:49.160
I know by Sunday, not or
by Saturday night, late Saturday night or
328
00:25:49.200 --> 00:25:53.480
early Sunday morning, assassination attempt was
already showing up a number of headlines.
329
00:25:53.519 --> 00:25:57.519
So that this is off to a
bad start. This is off to a
330
00:25:57.559 --> 00:26:04.359
bad start. So what can we
learn from this when we respond to national
331
00:26:04.519 --> 00:26:11.000
tragedy, cultural events. The Church
needs to be the source of precise,
332
00:26:12.079 --> 00:26:18.119
accurate information to the best of our
ability. If the church, here's the
333
00:26:18.160 --> 00:26:22.359
thing, If the church, and
many in the Church are very convinced of
334
00:26:22.359 --> 00:26:27.559
this, that all of the media
lies under the power of the evil One.
335
00:26:27.759 --> 00:26:33.200
Therefore we cannot trust it. If
that's going to be our approach our
336
00:26:33.240 --> 00:26:37.599
stance. They're all liberals, they're
all ungodly. We cannot trust any of
337
00:26:37.640 --> 00:26:41.880
them. Now, it's fascinating.
Well, the church in many cases will
338
00:26:41.880 --> 00:26:44.839
point the finger at all the mainstream
media and condemn it. They still will
339
00:26:44.880 --> 00:26:49.599
support Fox News that will sued for
defamation for our billion dollars and ended up
340
00:26:49.599 --> 00:26:55.960
paying what seven hundred and fifty seven
million dollars because they lied about the entire
341
00:26:56.000 --> 00:27:02.720
election being stolen. They gave a
false gave false information, they misrepresented and
342
00:27:02.799 --> 00:27:07.519
from a thilological, biblical perspective,
they bore false witness and Christians bought into
343
00:27:07.599 --> 00:27:10.920
it. And so wait a minute, if you're so mad at them,
344
00:27:11.519 --> 00:27:14.759
if you're gonna be met at CNN, in PR and the rest, then
345
00:27:14.799 --> 00:27:21.200
why not Fox News? They got
something horribly, horribly, horribly wrong and
346
00:27:21.279 --> 00:27:26.799
had to pay for it. And
there's still another lawsuit from smartmatic is Fox
347
00:27:26.880 --> 00:27:30.799
News has to deal with that.
Newsmax got sued. There were a bunch
348
00:27:30.839 --> 00:27:34.319
of those ultra conservative news media they
got sued for their false information. But
349
00:27:34.599 --> 00:27:38.799
Christians don't care about that. That's
I can't stand that. That's just that's
350
00:27:38.799 --> 00:27:45.359
not about truth, that's just bias. If the church is so concerned that
351
00:27:45.400 --> 00:27:51.799
the news media has it all wrong. Well, then, ladies and gentlemen,
352
00:27:52.000 --> 00:27:55.640
that's a very important ministry. Then
for the church to try to provide
353
00:27:55.839 --> 00:28:00.480
that we're going to be the source
of good information. We're gonna be We're
354
00:28:00.519 --> 00:28:03.640
going to be the ones who are
going to ensure that we're accurate, that
355
00:28:03.680 --> 00:28:07.720
we're clear, we are concise,
and we're going to help people know exactly
356
00:28:07.720 --> 00:28:11.599
what's going on in the world as
it's going on with factual information. Now,
357
00:28:12.000 --> 00:28:15.200
I don't know if you're going to
hire a team of journalists to go
358
00:28:15.240 --> 00:28:18.039
investigate every I don't know what you're
going to rely on to get your information,
359
00:28:18.240 --> 00:28:23.960
but you're going to be relying on
something. So all I'm saying is,
360
00:28:25.000 --> 00:28:27.480
if the church is going to criticize
everyone else, then it's the church's
361
00:28:27.559 --> 00:28:32.480
job to provide what you say everyone
else is doing wrong. The church doesn't
362
00:28:32.480 --> 00:28:34.119
want to actually put forth the effort
of the time to do that right.
363
00:28:34.319 --> 00:28:37.440
Well, and you may say,
well, it's not the church's job,
364
00:28:37.559 --> 00:28:44.839
Okay, Well, then whose job
is it going to be? And whatever
365
00:28:44.960 --> 00:28:48.880
standard you use to criticize one source, you have to criticize all the source
366
00:28:48.000 --> 00:28:52.400
by that same standard. Well,
I know one thing. Don't criticize others
367
00:28:52.559 --> 00:28:56.559
for getting something wrong. Well,
you're getting something wrong because I can clearly
368
00:28:56.599 --> 00:29:02.240
demonstrate and right here on my iPad
in real time, all right, and
369
00:29:02.359 --> 00:29:07.400
real time, I was wrong about
how many messages were coming in about this
370
00:29:07.480 --> 00:29:11.000
situation, and so I immediately corrected
myself in real time as I was verifying
371
00:29:11.000 --> 00:29:17.640
and checking, and in real time
I could verify and check everything from NPR,
372
00:29:17.839 --> 00:29:22.880
CNN, and the Huffington Post is
using the term assassination attempt. So
373
00:29:22.400 --> 00:29:27.440
it's not that the mainstream is that's
that's oh, that's not even helpful.
374
00:29:27.440 --> 00:29:30.599
So we're going to back this up
again. All right, this is we're
375
00:29:30.599 --> 00:29:41.400
off to a rough start, so
we are in Galatian six. But you're
376
00:29:41.440 --> 00:29:48.000
like, oh, okay, I
would be amiss not to speak of it
377
00:29:48.160 --> 00:29:53.000
about the events of things that happened
yesterday a little bit. There was an
378
00:29:53.000 --> 00:29:59.200
assassination attempt on President Trump, and
that's what it was. It was not
379
00:29:59.359 --> 00:30:02.759
he fell, it was not that
he heard a loud noise and ducked,
380
00:30:03.480 --> 00:30:07.200
as the mainstream media is reporting,
someone was three inches from shooting him in
381
00:30:07.200 --> 00:30:11.480
the center of the forehead. That's
assassination attempt and it's not that there has
382
00:30:11.519 --> 00:30:15.279
an attempt that they attempted to shoot
him. They did shoot him, just
383
00:30:15.279 --> 00:30:22.720
by God's providential grace. It went
through his a year Okay, So it
384
00:30:22.920 --> 00:30:30.599
was by God's providential grace that the
bullet went through his ear. God's providential
385
00:30:30.599 --> 00:30:36.920
grace. God guided and directed the
entire situation so that Trump would be shot
386
00:30:37.039 --> 00:30:45.119
through the ear. Now, will
he name the individual who was shot and
387
00:30:45.200 --> 00:30:48.359
killed? And he's he going to
then say it was by God's providential grace
388
00:30:48.680 --> 00:30:56.279
that this man was killed at the
exact same event. Now, maybe he's
389
00:30:56.279 --> 00:31:00.720
going to mention him, maybe he's
not. But just there's that providential grace
390
00:31:02.119 --> 00:31:08.559
concept, providential grace. And what
about all the other people on Saturday who
391
00:31:08.640 --> 00:31:17.000
died from cancer, murder, all
the other horrible things that happened Saturday around
392
00:31:17.119 --> 00:31:22.799
the world. God's providential grace allowed
them all to suffer and die, but
393
00:31:22.920 --> 00:31:27.559
it showed up at a specific location
for Trump to spare him. Now,
394
00:31:27.720 --> 00:31:30.960
that's okay if you go with providential
grace. But if you're going to say
395
00:31:30.960 --> 00:31:34.920
God's decree, God's providential grace,
you've got to also then say God controlled
396
00:31:36.119 --> 00:31:45.119
decreed. Whatever comes to pass that
includes all the other horrible things and not
397
00:31:45.279 --> 00:31:51.480
cause more damage. Killed at least
one behind him, has injured others,
398
00:31:53.039 --> 00:31:56.000
And I feel for those people that
are there just to show support in a
399
00:31:56.039 --> 00:32:05.359
free country to be able to do
so. He shot. Now, praise
400
00:32:05.400 --> 00:32:09.559
God, he did mention the people
who were shot, and he gets emotional
401
00:32:09.559 --> 00:32:15.759
about it. I'm very grateful for
that. Now he doesn't mention providence or
402
00:32:15.839 --> 00:32:20.720
grace or God's decree or God's sovereignty
and light of the people who died.
403
00:32:21.960 --> 00:32:24.960
And so far, in all the
responses that mentioned providence or anything like that,
404
00:32:25.160 --> 00:32:30.839
it's only applied to what the positive
for Trump, and it's not applied
405
00:32:31.279 --> 00:32:37.480
to any of the negative or the
negative is not even mentioned. In fact,
406
00:32:37.480 --> 00:32:40.039
a man who's shot, nobody even
really wants to the man who was
407
00:32:40.039 --> 00:32:45.480
shot and killed, who was attending
the rally, Nobody ever really wants to
408
00:32:45.519 --> 00:32:49.559
say his name. In fact,
that the name. At this point,
409
00:32:49.720 --> 00:32:52.559
when it's all said and done,
all anyone's going to remember is that Donald
410
00:32:52.599 --> 00:32:54.119
Trump was shot, and the man
who actually died, I don't even know
411
00:32:54.119 --> 00:33:02.839
if anyone's even going to remember his
name. Those that were injured, well,
412
00:33:02.880 --> 00:33:07.200
the event itself is shocking because when
you hear Dave first sent me my
413
00:33:07.200 --> 00:33:09.039
first contact, and I thought just
said shots fired, and I didn't read
414
00:33:09.079 --> 00:33:15.319
far enough to see that that he
was hit. So it's just shocking enough
415
00:33:15.519 --> 00:33:21.079
the event that it happened at all. But it's not shocking that it did
416
00:33:21.079 --> 00:33:23.720
happen because in the last few weeks
there have been people out calling for his
417
00:33:23.759 --> 00:33:31.119
assassination openly. In the last few
weeks, there have been people calling for
418
00:33:31.200 --> 00:33:40.200
the assassination of Donald Trump openly.
All right. Now, that's a very
419
00:33:40.279 --> 00:33:45.160
big claim. That's a very big
claim. I remember this is all being
420
00:33:45.200 --> 00:33:47.880
stated in church. So he stated
that the mainstream media wouldn't call it an
421
00:33:47.880 --> 00:33:52.759
assassination attempt. I've clearly demonstrated that's
not the case. So now he doesn't
422
00:33:52.759 --> 00:33:57.640
tell me which people have been openly
calling for the assassination of Donald Trump over
423
00:33:57.640 --> 00:34:01.720
the last few weeks. All Right, So I'm gonna I'm gonna do something.
424
00:34:04.039 --> 00:34:15.760
Okay, over the last few weeks, has there been open calls for
425
00:34:15.840 --> 00:34:31.599
the assassination of Donald Trump. I'm
gonna be utilizing some AI programs here.
426
00:34:35.960 --> 00:34:42.000
Okay, Well, they don't have
the information yet, all right, So
427
00:34:42.880 --> 00:35:06.719
I'm gonna try this. Okay,
I'm gonna try this, Okay, I'm
428
00:35:06.719 --> 00:35:29.280
gonna try it differently, all right, and I'm not finding Yeah, I'm
429
00:35:29.679 --> 00:35:32.199
not finding anything currently. I'm not
saying it's not there. I'm not saying
430
00:35:32.239 --> 00:35:36.440
it's not there. Here's what I
would say when we're talking about this.
431
00:35:36.559 --> 00:35:38.239
So we're gonna say, hey,
it's not shocking does someone try to assassinate
432
00:35:38.320 --> 00:35:43.760
President Trump, because over the last
few weeks there have been open calls for
433
00:35:43.840 --> 00:35:50.719
his assassination. Probably what should follow
is here's number one, here's the source,
434
00:35:50.880 --> 00:35:53.559
here's the individual. Here's number two, here's the source, here's the
435
00:35:53.599 --> 00:35:58.159
individual. Here's number three. Here. I'm not saying that that it's not
436
00:35:58.239 --> 00:36:00.800
the case. I'm not saying it
is the case. I'm saying that in
437
00:36:00.840 --> 00:36:06.360
real time I cannot verify this.
And all I'm saying is, if you're
438
00:36:06.440 --> 00:36:09.840
upset that the mainstream media, according
to your accusation, was not getting the
439
00:36:09.960 --> 00:36:15.039
term right assassination attempt, even though
I've got clear proof that they are.
440
00:36:15.199 --> 00:36:19.480
If your next accusation is, hey, it's not shocking that President Trump would
441
00:36:19.480 --> 00:36:23.519
be shot because there's been people openly
calling for his assassination, then we need
442
00:36:23.559 --> 00:36:28.920
to find who those individuals are,
where the sources are and then they need
443
00:36:28.960 --> 00:36:34.320
to be made public and pointed out
and say did this contribute? Is this
444
00:36:34.679 --> 00:36:38.760
is what? Was the shooter influenced
by these open calls? Did he know
445
00:36:38.880 --> 00:36:42.960
that these calls were occurring? Did
he read these? Did he see the
446
00:36:43.039 --> 00:36:45.440
video? Did he see the TikTok? Did he see YouTube? Why didn't
447
00:36:45.480 --> 00:36:51.920
YouTube or TikTok take it down?
Did the Secret Service visit these individuals who
448
00:36:51.960 --> 00:36:55.440
made these open calls? I mean, I mean, if you know that
449
00:36:55.480 --> 00:37:00.239
there's been open calls, you probably
need to contact the FBI and go,
450
00:37:00.400 --> 00:37:05.000
Hey, on Monday of that very
week, there was an open call for
451
00:37:05.079 --> 00:37:08.559
to assassinate President Trump by this source. You probably need to call contact the
452
00:37:08.599 --> 00:37:14.679
FBI and let them know, right, I mean, wouldn't wouldn't that be
453
00:37:14.760 --> 00:37:20.760
your responsibility? Hey, there's been
open calls for his assassination? Did you
454
00:37:20.840 --> 00:37:23.840
let did you see these? Did
you tell somebody? Did you inform somebody?
455
00:37:24.239 --> 00:37:28.000
Did you let did you did you
did you see it on YouTube and
456
00:37:28.039 --> 00:37:30.239
report it to YouTube? Did you
report it to Facebook? Did you report
457
00:37:30.239 --> 00:37:32.840
it? Did you report it to
the FBI? Did you contact the FBI
458
00:37:32.880 --> 00:37:37.559
and go, Hey, there's this
website, there's this guy on YouTube,
459
00:37:37.639 --> 00:37:40.559
he's calling for the open assassination of
Donald Trump. Can you look into it?
460
00:37:43.920 --> 00:37:45.679
I mean, do you have a
moral responsibility to report it? If
461
00:37:45.679 --> 00:37:50.199
you know this was happening, did
you have any responsibility? I think this
462
00:37:50.280 --> 00:37:58.159
is a These are valid questions.
We have free speech in Maerkers, supposed
463
00:37:58.199 --> 00:38:00.199
to you, but not for something
like that. We don't. You can't
464
00:38:00.480 --> 00:38:04.800
call for the death of others.
You can't. It's not right. We
465
00:38:04.840 --> 00:38:07.480
don't do it. That's a misuse
of the freedom and how it is.
466
00:38:07.519 --> 00:38:15.320
And so I don't know what we
are allowing to go on anymore now.
467
00:38:15.480 --> 00:38:20.760
Now I completely agree that we can't
do that, But like you can't,
468
00:38:20.960 --> 00:38:24.719
people can't be allowed to make calls
for killing people. I agree. So
469
00:38:24.960 --> 00:38:29.320
if you saw it, where did
you see it? What platform? Who
470
00:38:29.360 --> 00:38:34.480
was platforming it? I mean that, I mean, I really, I
471
00:38:34.480 --> 00:38:37.320
mean, I am seriously. I
want to know where these open calls were
472
00:38:37.360 --> 00:38:40.679
coming from. He said. In
the past few weeks, there have been
473
00:38:40.760 --> 00:38:46.760
open calls, open calls for the
assassination of Donald Trump. Now, I
474
00:38:46.800 --> 00:38:53.199
saw some horrible things stated after the
fact. After the fact, there was
475
00:38:53.239 --> 00:38:58.480
a TikTok that was going viral where
someone was saying it was her worst day
476
00:38:58.519 --> 00:39:02.159
in her life because Trump was not
killed. Horrible. I'm under now,
477
00:39:02.360 --> 00:39:07.199
what I saw was a report on
the on it. So my understanding is
478
00:39:07.239 --> 00:39:10.519
that had already been reported and already
been taken down. So my understanding.
479
00:39:10.880 --> 00:39:15.880
So, but I didn't go I
don't have TikTok, so I didn't,
480
00:39:15.920 --> 00:39:17.559
you know, look it up to
verify. And now I probably should have
481
00:39:17.559 --> 00:39:21.480
looked it up to verify at that
but at that point, it wasn't calling
482
00:39:21.519 --> 00:39:23.880
for someone to be killed. It
was just someone's disappointment that someone wasn't killed.
483
00:39:23.920 --> 00:39:28.679
Now you can you can judge the
morality of that versus the legality of
484
00:39:28.679 --> 00:39:34.719
that all day. But the point
is that's a massive claim. That's a
485
00:39:34.920 --> 00:39:44.199
massive, massive claim being made from
a pulpit inside a church and with no
486
00:39:44.599 --> 00:39:46.679
source being given. See this is
only This is one of the issues with
487
00:39:46.719 --> 00:39:52.239
addressing these types of things from a
Christian perspective, because we're held to a
488
00:39:52.280 --> 00:39:55.960
standard do not bear false witness,
put away lying, speak the truth.
489
00:39:57.039 --> 00:40:00.639
We have very specific guidelines and how
we are suppor to handle these issues.
490
00:40:00.679 --> 00:40:04.840
And this is what when I told
you I was going to be paying attention
491
00:40:04.840 --> 00:40:07.679
to how the church is going to
be responding to this situation. These are
492
00:40:07.719 --> 00:40:10.039
the kind of things I'm looking for, right, how are we going to
493
00:40:10.039 --> 00:40:15.239
respond? So maybe he has the
sources. I wish he would have given
494
00:40:15.280 --> 00:40:16.400
them. I wish he would have
laid them down. I wish he would
495
00:40:16.400 --> 00:40:22.639
have provided them because that would be
great, right because then we could go,
496
00:40:22.679 --> 00:40:25.960
Okay, wait a minute, so
that was out right? Is it
497
00:40:27.000 --> 00:40:30.159
still there? Did someone take it
down? Did someone report it? Did
498
00:40:30.159 --> 00:40:35.480
anybody know? Did the Secret Service
know that there was these open calls for
499
00:40:35.519 --> 00:40:39.719
assassination being that were so open that
well, even a pastor in a church
500
00:40:39.800 --> 00:40:43.719
knew that they were out there.
I mean, it had to be pretty
501
00:40:43.760 --> 00:40:46.920
well known. I'm assuming less he's
got some you know, if it's open,
502
00:40:46.960 --> 00:40:50.920
it's going to be everywhere. So
I mean, maybe I'm not saying
503
00:40:50.960 --> 00:40:52.000
they weren't there. I'm not saying
they were. I don't know. I
504
00:40:52.079 --> 00:40:58.280
have no way of verifying any of
this. Not only have they called for
505
00:40:58.360 --> 00:41:04.559
his death, they've raided his home
to the point where, wait a minute,
506
00:41:05.800 --> 00:41:10.719
not only did they call for his
death, they raided his home.
507
00:41:14.000 --> 00:41:16.719
Okay, who is the they who
called for his death? The they who
508
00:41:16.760 --> 00:41:20.639
called for his death? Are not
that they who raided his home. The
509
00:41:20.639 --> 00:41:28.440
they who rated his home was the
FBI because Trump did not turn over documents
510
00:41:28.480 --> 00:41:35.079
that he was told to turn over. So he so the they who are
511
00:41:35.119 --> 00:41:39.039
the theys? They openly called for
his assassination and his death, and they
512
00:41:39.159 --> 00:41:44.559
raided his home. Now, ladies
and gentlemen, this is how a church
513
00:41:44.679 --> 00:41:54.079
is responding to this shooting and a
church service. Who the they who rated?
514
00:41:54.360 --> 00:41:59.599
So are you now implying that that
they who raided the home had some
515
00:41:59.639 --> 00:42:07.199
connect to They called openly for his
death and they. I am perplexed by
516
00:42:07.280 --> 00:42:12.360
that transition. Now, I look, I misspeak all the time, right,
517
00:42:12.360 --> 00:42:15.119
I miss speak all the time all
the time. Right, So I
518
00:42:15.239 --> 00:42:22.079
understand standing up and not speaking clearly. But that seems like a big You're
519
00:42:22.119 --> 00:42:29.360
correlating the assassination attempt to the FBI
raiding his home because he had documents he
520
00:42:29.440 --> 00:42:36.760
was told to turn over that he
did not turn over. Now, so
521
00:42:36.800 --> 00:42:42.840
we got to represent these situations in
a correct way. Oh man, Okay,
522
00:42:42.880 --> 00:42:45.960
I'm gonna back these up. I'm
gonna back this up a little bit.
523
00:42:45.280 --> 00:42:50.639
That is such a weird transition.
Right here we go a few weeks
524
00:42:50.679 --> 00:42:53.719
there have been people out calling for
his assassination openly. We have free speech
525
00:42:53.760 --> 00:42:57.280
in America, are supposed to,
but not for something like that. We
526
00:42:57.519 --> 00:43:00.519
don't. You can't call for the
death of others. You can't. It's
527
00:43:00.559 --> 00:43:05.119
not right. We don't do it. That's that's a misuse of the freedom,
528
00:43:05.400 --> 00:43:08.519
how it is. And so and
I want to remember, I want
529
00:43:08.519 --> 00:43:15.199
to just remind people that if you
go back to the Obama administration, in
530
00:43:15.320 --> 00:43:21.960
his time as president, there was
some very strong language by many who called
531
00:43:22.000 --> 00:43:25.519
for well, let's say, many
Christians were saying that we're playing praying and
532
00:43:25.639 --> 00:43:32.800
precatory prayers in order to have Obama
removed. All right, all right,
533
00:43:34.199 --> 00:43:45.760
so hang on, hang on,
let me see if I can verify that
534
00:43:46.480 --> 00:43:51.480
I remember dealing with all of that, and I probably can find messages.
535
00:43:52.719 --> 00:44:00.519
All right, here we go.
CNN reporter confronts g OP nominee who called
536
00:44:00.559 --> 00:44:07.280
for Obama to be executed. Here's
the news story and as has the interview.
537
00:44:07.320 --> 00:44:09.320
He's kind, he's confronting the person, like you, called for Obama
538
00:44:09.360 --> 00:44:15.559
to be executed. That's right there, a conservative GOP Republican calling for Obama
539
00:44:15.639 --> 00:44:20.639
to be executed. That's only took
five seconds for uh, for me to
540
00:44:20.719 --> 00:44:30.920
find that all right, So there, so I already found one, already
541
00:44:30.920 --> 00:44:38.400
found one. All right, Uh, hang on, okay, all right,
542
00:44:38.400 --> 00:44:42.760
wait, okay, oh there's uh
there's the Washington Post, uh,
543
00:44:43.079 --> 00:44:46.840
tracking how churches were responding to the
assassination attempt on Trump. That see,
544
00:44:46.920 --> 00:44:52.119
that's interesting. All right, So
I've already found one. I could probably
545
00:44:52.159 --> 00:44:54.599
find more. But there were there
were I know, I can find sermon
546
00:44:54.840 --> 00:44:58.039
I can find I know, I
I know I covered it. I may
547
00:44:58.079 --> 00:45:01.199
even have audio before before. But
there were there were conservatives who called for
548
00:45:01.280 --> 00:45:07.639
the assassination basically the killing of Obama. So let's just make sure we this
549
00:45:07.679 --> 00:45:13.519
is not a one sided thing there. If they're anyone who's done it to
550
00:45:13.559 --> 00:45:16.079
Trump, that's wrong, and everyone
who did it to Obama that was wrong.
551
00:45:17.199 --> 00:45:22.440
And I remember some of that backlash. I remember that some of that
552
00:45:22.480 --> 00:45:24.800
because I was right in the middle
of fighting against it and I was reviewing
553
00:45:24.880 --> 00:45:30.360
sermons, going what in the world
is this. He's basically calling for Obama,
554
00:45:30.480 --> 00:45:32.599
for God to kill Obama, and
I'm like, what is happening?
555
00:45:32.840 --> 00:45:37.400
And it's an unprecatory it's an apprecatory
prayer. Well, then someone could pray,
556
00:45:37.599 --> 00:45:40.679
and a precatory prayer to have Trump
killed, and you would be okay
557
00:45:40.679 --> 00:45:49.000
with that. I mean, see, that's that so u oh boy.
558
00:45:49.039 --> 00:45:52.519
Anyone who calls for the assassination or
killing of a political leader because you disagree,
559
00:45:53.239 --> 00:45:58.000
I'm sorry, ladies and gentlemen.
That's the problem on both sides.
560
00:45:58.159 --> 00:46:02.159
But again, it took me five
seconds to find where someone called for the
561
00:46:02.159 --> 00:46:07.840
assassination of Obama. Now I'm not
saying I can't find those for Trump.
562
00:46:07.840 --> 00:46:09.719
I haven't found it yet. But
he said in the last few weeks,
563
00:46:10.159 --> 00:46:14.239
the last few weeks, they were
open, and he made it sound like
564
00:46:14.280 --> 00:46:21.679
they were plural many right. But
then this is where it gets weird.
565
00:46:22.440 --> 00:46:27.880
I don't know what we are allowing
to go on anymore. Not only have
566
00:46:27.920 --> 00:46:31.280
they called for his death, they've
raided his home to the point where they
567
00:46:31.320 --> 00:46:35.239
went through not only his things,
but they went through his wife's things.
568
00:46:35.239 --> 00:46:39.280
They went through his young son's things. And I pray for Bearing a lot,
569
00:46:39.360 --> 00:46:43.960
because his older children they understand,
they get it, you know.
570
00:46:44.000 --> 00:46:46.280
But he was a young child when
his dad was a president, and one
571
00:46:46.280 --> 00:46:50.880
of the first things that really broke
my heart for him was when he was
572
00:46:50.960 --> 00:46:54.719
Kathy Griffin had an effigy of Trump's
head and it was covered in blood and
573
00:46:54.800 --> 00:46:58.480
she was holding like she cut his
head off. And he saw that and
574
00:46:58.559 --> 00:47:00.880
his dad wasn't with him. He
thought someone had killed his dad and cut
575
00:47:00.880 --> 00:47:04.639
his head off. It's like,
should a child have to go through that
576
00:47:04.719 --> 00:47:07.440
just because his dad's president, is
that allowed in our country to do those
577
00:47:07.480 --> 00:47:12.840
things? And so they went through
his room and they did all that when
578
00:47:12.840 --> 00:47:15.400
they stormed his house down to Marlago, and I feel for him. And
579
00:47:15.440 --> 00:47:19.440
then because I remember our house being
robbed when we were children and how much
580
00:47:19.480 --> 00:47:22.239
that upset me because I remember part
of what they did is they went through
581
00:47:22.239 --> 00:47:24.840
and robbed our home as they took
my and my brother's pillow cases and had
582
00:47:24.840 --> 00:47:28.559
turned him inside out, like that's
where we kept all the family blow you
583
00:47:28.599 --> 00:47:31.800
know, and I like sleeping on
my dad's gone. They went through all
584
00:47:31.880 --> 00:47:35.239
that, and they ate our peeps
and they drank our PEPSI he was the
585
00:47:35.239 --> 00:47:37.440
little things, you know. They
took valuable things that we had, But
586
00:47:37.480 --> 00:47:39.480
it was like they violated the trust
of the comfort of my home, you
587
00:47:39.480 --> 00:47:43.199
know, by someone being in there. And I remember that bothered me for
588
00:47:43.239 --> 00:47:51.880
a long time. And so he's
comparing the FBI executing a legal order to
589
00:47:51.960 --> 00:47:55.800
go in and search for these documents, like someone breaking into your house.
590
00:47:55.840 --> 00:48:00.320
Like the whole thing here is like
I don't even understand what's going going on
591
00:48:00.480 --> 00:48:04.559
here. And but if you if
you do a search, if you do
592
00:48:04.679 --> 00:48:15.199
a search for yeah, if if
you do a search for Obama on the
593
00:48:15.199 --> 00:48:21.159
sermon's two point, oh app ladies
and gentlemen, you'll find you'll find some
594
00:48:22.119 --> 00:48:30.039
You'll find some very let's just say, bewitched Obama mark of the of the
595
00:48:30.079 --> 00:48:35.719
beast, seven years of Obama.
I mean, there there is some Obama
596
00:48:35.880 --> 00:48:43.599
isis Uh did Obama just say he's
a Muslim? I mean there is some
597
00:48:43.840 --> 00:48:49.400
crazy things on here. There's some
crazy things on here, and I'm telling
598
00:48:49.400 --> 00:48:53.960
you some of these things are probably
disturbing beyond all comprehension. And that's all
599
00:48:53.960 --> 00:48:57.119
on the sermon's two point oh app. You can just you can do a
600
00:48:57.159 --> 00:49:00.639
search for and find some of the
crazyness, because I remember back then some
601
00:49:00.679 --> 00:49:04.880
of the craziness going on. But
I don't know how he's so this is
602
00:49:04.960 --> 00:49:10.400
crazy. So the assassination, the
calls for Trump's assassination that were open,
603
00:49:12.400 --> 00:49:19.880
and then they that weird transition.
They rated his home, they his was
604
00:49:19.920 --> 00:49:23.119
that not the proper authority. I
mean Trump could have just turned over the
605
00:49:23.159 --> 00:49:29.320
documents, right could he have not
just turned over the documents or call for
606
00:49:29.880 --> 00:49:34.280
Hey, I'll turn the documents over
to a judge, and then the judge
607
00:49:34.320 --> 00:49:37.840
can can we find a way that
these can be held? If Trump really
608
00:49:37.840 --> 00:49:40.400
believed they belonged to him and they
were his, then he could have made
609
00:49:40.400 --> 00:49:43.920
it a legal argument, not just
keep a mens house, right, I
610
00:49:43.920 --> 00:49:45.159
mean, could there not have been
I mean, we could get into all
611
00:49:45.239 --> 00:49:49.559
kinds of discussions and the way that
goes down. But I mean, you
612
00:49:49.599 --> 00:49:52.760
know, if someone's like, you
have property that is not yours, return
613
00:49:52.800 --> 00:49:54.639
it, no return it? No? Well I returned it, Well I
614
00:49:54.639 --> 00:49:58.400
didn't return everything. Well, then
we're coming to get it. Well then,
615
00:49:58.480 --> 00:50:01.079
I mean, I mean, come
on, I don't know how that
616
00:50:01.079 --> 00:50:07.679
that is being viewed as like basically
like someone breaking into your house and taking
617
00:50:07.719 --> 00:50:10.840
what is not yours. But were
they not taking what belonged to the government?
618
00:50:10.960 --> 00:50:15.000
Like oh that'd because all right,
this gets this is getting interesting.
619
00:50:15.039 --> 00:50:21.960
But let's see where this goes.
Boy, sure it's bothered him to have
620
00:50:22.079 --> 00:50:24.400
your government come in and do that
to you. He's been taken to court
621
00:50:25.199 --> 00:50:29.519
He's been found guilty by rules that
have only been applied to one case in
622
00:50:29.559 --> 00:50:36.199
the history this case. They have
put false and proven false accusations against him
623
00:50:36.199 --> 00:50:39.320
again and again, and they keep
floating them. And now a shot so
624
00:50:39.519 --> 00:50:45.320
close that it went through his ear. You can't get much closer. Now
625
00:50:45.599 --> 00:50:50.480
again, he's making all these assertions
rules that have only been applied to which
626
00:50:50.719 --> 00:50:53.360
which which court case? Are you
Are you saying that those are the only
627
00:50:53.440 --> 00:50:59.199
rules ever applied to one person?
Are you saying when he was fine liable
628
00:50:59.239 --> 00:51:02.679
for sexual assaul like that's just you're
just throwing out the woman's claim, like
629
00:51:02.840 --> 00:51:07.360
that's just false. I'm not saying, you know, we can make an
630
00:51:07.440 --> 00:51:09.519
argument whether her claim was true or
false, but you would have to have
631
00:51:09.559 --> 00:51:14.239
some way of proving it's true or
false. Obviously a jury went along way
632
00:51:14.280 --> 00:51:15.960
and everyone can I mean, look, where is it. Why isn't any
633
00:51:16.039 --> 00:51:21.559
of this being spoken of in church? This is all not You're making accusations.
634
00:51:21.719 --> 00:51:24.000
And when you say these accusations are
false, you're calling the people who
635
00:51:24.000 --> 00:51:28.480
made the accusations liars. Well,
who are you calling a liar? The
636
00:51:28.519 --> 00:51:31.159
woman who says she was sexually assaulted? Are you saying the porn star who
637
00:51:31.159 --> 00:51:37.039
claims she had sex with Donald Trump
is lying. Well, now, if
638
00:51:37.079 --> 00:51:39.559
you're making an accusation that they were
lying, you've got to go prove that
639
00:51:39.599 --> 00:51:43.480
they were lying. And if you
can't prove it, you're bearing false witness,
640
00:51:43.519 --> 00:51:46.880
which is literally what violation of the
actual law of God. From the
641
00:51:46.880 --> 00:52:01.159
pulpit like this, we can't respond
to the shoev with just now making wild
642
00:52:01.239 --> 00:52:07.559
accusations against everyone, just making wild, wild accusations against the FBI, wild
643
00:52:07.599 --> 00:52:13.960
accusations against people who made accusations against
trust. We just we just can't do
644
00:52:14.039 --> 00:52:19.519
this. This is not the way
the church is to respond. You can
645
00:52:19.599 --> 00:52:24.119
take each individual case and if you've
got evidence that these accusations were false,
646
00:52:24.360 --> 00:52:30.239
please get all out of the pulpit
and go to your Go find an attorney,
647
00:52:30.400 --> 00:52:34.400
Go find a judge, Go give
them your evidence that the accusations are
648
00:52:34.400 --> 00:52:37.079
false. How do you know they
were false? He's found guilty, but
649
00:52:37.159 --> 00:52:50.840
you know that the accusation was false
based off what did God tell you.
650
00:52:50.880 --> 00:52:54.559
See, this is why on the
first night I was so discouraged, I
651
00:52:54.719 --> 00:53:00.519
was so despondent because I was afraid
that this is going to turn into this
652
00:53:01.280 --> 00:53:07.800
that the church is not going to
respond like the Bible. We're gonna respond
653
00:53:07.360 --> 00:53:16.280
like we're Fox News again. If
you've got evidence that the accusations made against
654
00:53:16.280 --> 00:53:24.639
false Donald Trump were false, then
go prove it. Please help the man
655
00:53:24.719 --> 00:53:30.199
out who was found liable for sexual
assault, who was found liable for defamation,
656
00:53:31.039 --> 00:53:36.000
Get him off to help him,
help the help them overturn, overturn
657
00:53:36.039 --> 00:53:39.400
the court case. Go prove it. Don't be behind a pulpit telling everyone
658
00:53:39.400 --> 00:53:46.480
it was false. Go demonstrate it. And if you've got proof that the
659
00:53:46.559 --> 00:53:51.519
rules were only applied to Donald Trump
and the only time in history, will
660
00:53:51.559 --> 00:53:54.519
then demonstrate it. I mean you've
you've read all the I mean, do
661
00:53:54.559 --> 00:53:59.119
you understand when you get into legality
and court cases, you would have to
662
00:53:59.119 --> 00:54:00.360
be going through all all the legal
briefs. You would have to go,
663
00:54:00.360 --> 00:54:04.039
Okay, there were this case so
and so versus so and so. Do
664
00:54:04.079 --> 00:54:08.159
you realize that lawyers have to have
people hired to go research all of these
665
00:54:08.159 --> 00:54:13.320
things to bring up all of the
case history. Do you under like you
666
00:54:13.360 --> 00:54:15.920
can't just get behind a pulpit and
just make that Where did you hear that?
667
00:54:15.960 --> 00:54:17.519
Where did you get Where's your source
that that's true? Is it from
668
00:54:17.519 --> 00:54:23.840
a legal scholar or from Fox News
Newsmax Alex Jones, where where there's no
669
00:54:24.000 --> 00:54:30.440
sourcing anything. He's just making all
of these dogmatic assertions and light of a
670
00:54:30.480 --> 00:54:35.239
shooting. Well, all this does
is create animosity and anger in the people
671
00:54:35.280 --> 00:54:39.320
in the pulpit that everyone's out to
get Donald Trump and we've got to defend
672
00:54:39.400 --> 00:54:43.440
him. Who wha, whoa,
whoa. How about we slow down and
673
00:54:43.480 --> 00:54:47.719
we let every and we handle each
specific issue that you have brought up in
674
00:54:47.800 --> 00:54:53.199
a careful, concise way. And
if we can prove that something is not
675
00:54:53.360 --> 00:54:59.280
fair or accurate or right, then
let's do so. And if we can't,
676
00:55:00.519 --> 00:55:09.400
then maybe we shouldn't say so.
With a fatal shot there and one
677
00:55:09.400 --> 00:55:13.079
of the most shocking things as you
hear this, you're like, how how
678
00:55:13.119 --> 00:55:17.239
an American? Why? But on
X the trends from his opponents today were,
679
00:55:17.760 --> 00:55:25.079
how do you miss Really we don't
have enough empathy for our fellow man
680
00:55:25.679 --> 00:55:34.159
that your thing is, oh you
missed him. That's sick. I absolutely
681
00:55:34.199 --> 00:55:37.280
believe it's sick. I am complete
agreement with you. We are in agreement,
682
00:55:37.440 --> 00:55:42.960
and it's sick when people say things
about Obama or about his wife,
683
00:55:43.320 --> 00:55:49.360
things were sick when they said things
about Hillary or things were sick, when
684
00:55:49.400 --> 00:55:54.599
people under you know, played down
and try to disregard the seriousness of what
685
00:55:54.679 --> 00:56:00.880
happened on January the sixth at the
Capitol Building. So yeah, but that's
686
00:56:00.880 --> 00:56:07.920
why politics left and right is a
discussing cesspool that Christians should have nothing to
687
00:56:07.960 --> 00:56:13.320
do with because all it is is
misinformation, false information, accusatory information.
688
00:56:13.559 --> 00:56:15.119
And we are to rise above that
and say no, no, no,
689
00:56:15.119 --> 00:56:17.719
no, no, no, no, y'all play in the cesspool. We're
690
00:56:17.760 --> 00:56:22.559
staying out of it because our focus
is on truth and Christ and and and
691
00:56:22.719 --> 00:56:28.320
salvation, and that's what we are
to do. But I agree that if
692
00:56:28.360 --> 00:56:35.159
that was trending on X, that's
that's really disturbing. I agree that.
693
00:56:35.320 --> 00:56:38.960
I agree. Now I would like
to know when it was that. Was
694
00:56:39.000 --> 00:56:45.159
that a trending hashtag? I hadn't
seen that that was a trending hashtag.
695
00:56:45.199 --> 00:56:47.280
If it was, that is that
is a problem. It may have been.
696
00:56:47.320 --> 00:56:51.320
I'm not saying it was, not
saying it wasn't, but I had
697
00:56:51.400 --> 00:56:53.320
I had not seen or heard a
report that that was a trending topic.
698
00:56:54.159 --> 00:57:02.599
But it is troubling. Minute that's
evil if you look at me to Isaiah
699
00:57:02.679 --> 00:57:17.320
five, mark your spot insculations.
We'll get there. Isaiah five. We
700
00:57:17.360 --> 00:57:24.400
often quote this, but I wanted
you to see it today as we live
701
00:57:24.400 --> 00:57:32.800
it. Isaiah five, verse twenty. Sorry, Isaiah five twenty says,
702
00:57:32.800 --> 00:57:38.079
whoa, this is a woe.
This is like in revelation. There's woes.
703
00:57:38.119 --> 00:57:40.119
There's not too many woes in the
Bible. But this is like,
704
00:57:40.679 --> 00:57:44.559
man, it's bad on you.
If you have a woe pronounced from God,
705
00:57:44.559 --> 00:57:49.519
and God's man on you, woe
unto them that call evil good and
706
00:57:49.599 --> 00:57:55.199
good evil, They that put darkness
for light and light for darkness, and
707
00:57:55.239 --> 00:58:02.159
the I'm gonna interrupt his reading of
Isaiah five, and I would just like
708
00:58:02.239 --> 00:58:07.840
you to hear this. And the
context of President Obama, there were instances
709
00:58:07.840 --> 00:58:15.719
where individuals publicly expressed and precatory prayers
against him. For instance, Wiley Drake,
710
00:58:15.760 --> 00:58:19.800
a former Southern Baptist Convention officer,
stated that he was praying in precatory
711
00:58:19.800 --> 00:58:22.639
prayer against President Obama. Drake believed
that these prayers aligned with God's will,
712
00:58:22.760 --> 00:58:25.440
and we're a way of agreeing with
God's judgment. However, it is crucial
713
00:58:25.480 --> 00:58:31.320
to recognize that this perspective is not
universally accepted among Christians. And then there's
714
00:58:31.360 --> 00:58:37.760
a number of news sources here about
this, Baptistnews dot com, beliefnet dot
715
00:58:37.800 --> 00:58:42.480
com, at Liganeer dot org.
So some of these are actually Christian sites
716
00:58:42.920 --> 00:58:46.960
showing that there were at least cases
where preachers and pastors were praying and precatory
717
00:58:46.960 --> 00:58:52.239
prayers for God basically to have Obama
killed or to kill him so or to
718
00:58:52.320 --> 00:58:57.199
destroy him. So that was.
So I just want to make sure that
719
00:58:57.239 --> 00:59:01.480
we understand, Hey, hey,
this was This's what's happening within Christianity.
720
00:59:01.599 --> 00:59:06.599
I remember it because I remember being
shocked by it, and I remember a
721
00:59:06.639 --> 00:59:10.880
lot of it being discussed all over
mainstream media and the news. So let's
722
00:59:10.920 --> 00:59:16.000
just make sure this stuff happens.
And it's wrong on both sides. It's
723
00:59:16.039 --> 00:59:22.320
wrong on both sides. But he's
reading Isaiah five, all right. Verse
724
00:59:22.400 --> 00:59:25.519
twenty, I believe, is where
he started. Let me catch us up.
725
00:59:27.360 --> 00:59:30.000
Woe to those who call evil good
and good evil, who put darkness
726
00:59:30.000 --> 00:59:34.559
for light and light for darkness,
who put bitter for sweet and sweet for
727
00:59:34.599 --> 00:59:37.519
bitter. Now let me make it
very clear. You know what is also
728
00:59:37.679 --> 00:59:42.920
bad is when we stand behind the
pulpit and while we are addressing evil,
729
00:59:43.360 --> 00:59:47.920
we engage in literally breaking the law
of God by bearing false witness, making
730
00:59:49.039 --> 00:59:54.320
accusations with no proof, or possibly
sharing fraudulent information, which is just right
731
00:59:54.400 --> 01:00:01.719
out a lie that is evil.
While addressing evil, or at least you
732
01:00:01.760 --> 01:00:06.679
could call it if you don't like
the word evil, it's clearly a violation
733
01:00:06.800 --> 01:00:12.599
of God's law, which would make
it sinful. But bitter for sweet and
734
01:00:12.679 --> 01:00:17.199
sweet for bitter, well would to
them that cast confusion is the way He's
735
01:00:17.239 --> 01:00:21.239
saying, those who take what God
has set up as good and then you
736
01:00:21.280 --> 01:00:22.960
make it evil, and take that
what God has said was evil and you
737
01:00:23.039 --> 01:00:29.320
make it good. That describes our
day, that describes our times. I
738
01:00:29.360 --> 01:00:32.480
can't believe still that in America one
of the main platforms is how we can
739
01:00:32.559 --> 01:00:42.440
kill babies. And the scariest thing
is that we still have four months until
740
01:00:42.440 --> 01:00:47.079
the election. I fear that the
evil is not over, but it's just
741
01:00:47.159 --> 01:00:52.760
beginning. And so I guess part
of my call is I love for you
742
01:00:52.679 --> 01:00:57.639
to be awake and be aware and
be prepared. Look at Sick and Timothy,
743
01:01:01.159 --> 01:01:07.559
because God's people always have a heads
up and a head start, because
744
01:01:07.599 --> 01:01:12.920
we are prepared people for a prepared
place and so we should live a prepared
745
01:01:12.960 --> 01:01:15.159
life in the sense that we are
ready, that we are not easily shaken,
746
01:01:15.199 --> 01:01:19.039
that we are not thrown off course
by the things that are going on.
747
01:01:19.079 --> 01:01:21.400
That we know who our God is, we know what our God does,
748
01:01:21.599 --> 01:01:22.679
and we know how we're to behave. And so I'm just kind of
749
01:01:22.679 --> 01:01:28.119
giving us a recalibration here. So
tewod Timothy chapter three, verse one says
750
01:01:28.360 --> 01:01:30.199
this, know that in the last
days, perilous time shall come. It's
751
01:01:30.199 --> 01:01:34.639
going to get dangerous. And if
we're in the last days, which I
752
01:01:34.800 --> 01:01:44.840
told you on Wednesday night we were
talking about Peter's sermon ladies and gentlemen for
753
01:01:45.000 --> 01:01:52.800
the one millionth time, two Timothy
three is referencing what is going to be
754
01:01:52.840 --> 01:01:59.360
going on inside the church. Let
me demonstrate but know this that in the
755
01:01:59.440 --> 01:02:02.079
last day, perilous times will come, for men will be lovers of themselves.
756
01:02:04.000 --> 01:02:07.800
Ladies and gentlemen. That can't be
describing the last days as far as
757
01:02:07.840 --> 01:02:08.920
in the world. All of a
sudden, men are going to be lovers
758
01:02:08.960 --> 01:02:15.119
of themselves. Men have been lovers
of themselves since the fall. That's always
759
01:02:15.159 --> 01:02:19.000
been true, all right, They're
going to be lovers of money, that's
760
01:02:19.079 --> 01:02:23.840
always been true. Boasters, always
true, proud, always true, blasphemers.
761
01:02:24.000 --> 01:02:28.880
Well, people outside the church have
always been blasphemers, disobedient to parents,
762
01:02:29.159 --> 01:02:34.960
unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slender, without self control,
763
01:02:35.159 --> 01:02:39.280
brutal despisers of good traders, headstrong, haughtie, lovers of pleasure rather than
764
01:02:39.320 --> 01:02:44.079
lovers of God, lovers of pleasure
rather than lovers of God. Clearly,
765
01:02:44.119 --> 01:02:46.840
that's not describing the last days,
because that's always been true in the world.
766
01:02:47.199 --> 01:02:52.119
Ladies and gentlemen, this is Paul
telling Timothy what will come to the
767
01:02:52.360 --> 01:02:55.679
church. This will be what the
church is in the last days. You're
768
01:02:55.679 --> 01:02:59.239
gonna look up at the church,
and the church is going to be filled
769
01:02:59.280 --> 01:03:04.599
with people who are men who love
themselves, they love money. They're boasters,
770
01:03:04.599 --> 01:03:07.599
they're proud, they're blasphemers, they're
disobedient to parents. They're unthankful,
771
01:03:07.599 --> 01:03:09.800
they're unholy, the unloving, they're
unforgiving, they're slanderous, they're without self
772
01:03:09.800 --> 01:03:14.639
control, brutal despises of good traders, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure
773
01:03:14.719 --> 01:03:17.719
rather than lovers of God. They
have a form of Godliness but deny its
774
01:03:17.800 --> 01:03:22.480
power. It's going to be the
church. This is describing the church.
775
01:03:22.800 --> 01:03:27.239
This is not describing the world.
This is what the church is gonna look
776
01:03:27.320 --> 01:03:30.199
like when you get to the last
days, as you put it, or
777
01:03:30.280 --> 01:03:35.519
in the last days, when we
get to the perilous times, it's gonna
778
01:03:35.559 --> 01:03:37.800
be You're gonna look at your church. You're gonna be like, what in
779
01:03:37.840 --> 01:03:40.559
the world is going on in the
church? The church is just going to
780
01:03:40.599 --> 01:03:50.119
be open, just complete craziness,
not the world. That would describe the
781
01:03:50.159 --> 01:03:53.400
world in every age, and in
some ways it describes all of us in
782
01:03:53.440 --> 01:03:57.239
every age, because that's true inside
of us. But this is gonna be
783
01:03:57.320 --> 01:04:02.199
just open outward anarchy. They're gonna
have a form of godliness, though,
784
01:04:02.280 --> 01:04:06.719
but they're gonna deny. They're just
gonna live in open, complete rebellion without
785
01:04:06.760 --> 01:04:12.000
any concern. That's what it's describing. It's not describing the world. That's
786
01:04:12.039 --> 01:04:18.239
describing the church. And he declares
from the Book of Joel that at the
787
01:04:18.320 --> 01:04:23.000
outpoint of the Holy Spirit that came
upon them like tongues of fire, that
788
01:04:23.039 --> 01:04:26.880
they verified it by speaking out and
people heard in different languages. He says,
789
01:04:27.239 --> 01:04:30.000
this is the fulfillment of that that
shows that we are in the last
790
01:04:30.079 --> 01:04:33.039
days that is the kickoff to the
Last days. I think we're still in
791
01:04:33.079 --> 01:04:38.480
the days of Pentecost, and many
do because Pentecost was the day of harvest.
792
01:04:38.480 --> 01:04:41.800
We are in the harvest, and
there'll be a day when God has
793
01:04:41.800 --> 01:04:44.119
it all mapped out on how the
harvest is the work. There's the first
794
01:04:44.159 --> 01:04:46.920
fruit that was Jesus Christ, and
he actually was the first fruit. On
795
01:04:46.960 --> 01:04:50.000
the day of first Fruits, he
presents himself as the first fruit. And
796
01:04:50.039 --> 01:04:54.840
then God says he will then give
the harvest. The harvest is the church.
797
01:04:54.960 --> 01:04:58.400
He's now bringing us in, bringing
the wondering ones of Jesus. We
798
01:04:58.440 --> 01:05:00.159
sing about it, and then it
ends with an end gathering that after the
799
01:05:00.199 --> 01:05:03.599
main harvest happens, which is the
harpadzo or the rapture or the taking away
800
01:05:03.599 --> 01:05:06.440
of the Church. There's a seven
year tribulation where it's like the Book of
801
01:05:06.480 --> 01:05:11.119
Bruce where they glean the corners,
and it is a time where it says
802
01:05:11.159 --> 01:05:15.920
that as many as the sands of
the sea gets saved from every tongue tribe
803
01:05:15.920 --> 01:05:19.400
in nation. And so there's going
to be a great soul harvest during the
804
01:05:19.400 --> 01:05:24.320
tribulation. But we are in this
last days, nearing the last part of
805
01:05:24.360 --> 01:05:27.079
the church, which would be the
end of that. So we are in
806
01:05:27.119 --> 01:05:30.719
some perilous times. I think we
see that in Liko verse thirteen, same
807
01:05:30.800 --> 01:05:35.920
chapter Siga Timothy three thirteen. But
evil men and seducers shall wax worse and
808
01:05:36.000 --> 01:05:41.119
worse deceiving and being deceived. It
says that they are going to use deception.
809
01:05:42.239 --> 01:05:45.199
We live in a day the fake
news, cheap fakes is the this
810
01:05:45.239 --> 01:05:47.800
is the White House supposed to call
and others, and then you find out
811
01:05:47.800 --> 01:05:50.199
that they're not cheap fakes, that
they're real, but they didn't. So
812
01:05:50.239 --> 01:05:53.960
we have all this that's going on. But we have the time of deception
813
01:05:54.039 --> 01:05:56.760
where we went to watch and test
well even though our eyes are seen,
814
01:05:57.039 --> 01:05:59.519
and so we need to walk closer
to the Lord, closer to his state,
815
01:05:59.559 --> 01:06:01.599
they'd close to the truth, so
that the lie would be exposed to
816
01:06:01.679 --> 01:06:04.000
us, and so we got to
watch where we feed on. We got
817
01:06:06.760 --> 01:06:12.039
And it interesting that sometimes in sermons
who we can say things that are utterly
818
01:06:12.079 --> 01:06:17.000
completely false, completely misleading, possibly
just full blowne deception, but we're always
819
01:06:17.039 --> 01:06:19.719
telling us that we got to watch
out for the world and all of its
820
01:06:19.760 --> 01:06:25.719
deception. I'm more worried about the
half truths, mistruths, misinformation, disinformation,
821
01:06:26.000 --> 01:06:32.760
false acquisitions that happened from Pulpits not
what happens in the world. Watch
822
01:06:32.760 --> 01:06:38.920
what we're taking in the Bible maps
out our times as birth pains. He's
823
01:06:38.960 --> 01:06:41.800
like, hey, there's gonna be
a bad time for a while, and
824
01:06:41.800 --> 01:06:45.599
then it'll be a time of calm. Think about the in stage of pregnancy.
825
01:06:45.639 --> 01:06:47.119
That's how it is, right,
it's getting close. That might be
826
01:06:47.119 --> 01:06:49.400
today when it's your first one.
You're like, here it is, you
827
01:06:49.440 --> 01:06:51.280
got it all packed and you're ready. But then it's like, uh,
828
01:06:51.400 --> 01:06:55.159
false contraction. You might even gone
to the hospital and they're like, it's
829
01:06:55.199 --> 01:06:58.360
gonna be a while yet. Then
you wait a little while and you just
830
01:06:58.400 --> 01:07:00.840
get a little bit more comfortable,
and the other one comes in here,
831
01:07:00.880 --> 01:07:02.360
and then it's a little bit harder, a little more severe, but then
832
01:07:02.400 --> 01:07:05.440
it backs off. That's what Jesus
says, with the last days will be
833
01:07:05.480 --> 01:07:09.639
like a time of birth pains.
Well be contractions will be hard. There'd
834
01:07:09.679 --> 01:07:13.239
be a time of calm and people
go back to normal and they'll forget what
835
01:07:13.280 --> 01:07:15.360
it was like. But it gets
a little worse, and the little pause
836
01:07:15.440 --> 01:07:18.440
a little worse, a little pause
a little worse until the point that brings
837
01:07:18.440 --> 01:07:26.079
to tribulation. Here's what we can
do. Look at verse fourteen. But
838
01:07:26.159 --> 01:07:30.119
continue, thou and the things which
thou hast learned and hast been assured of,
839
01:07:30.000 --> 01:07:33.679
knowing of whom that you have learned
them. We are not to be
840
01:07:33.719 --> 01:07:39.199
easily shaken. We're to be continue
in the things that we have learned.
841
01:07:41.599 --> 01:07:45.679
We know. Now I will stop
there, and I will say a hearty
842
01:07:45.800 --> 01:07:50.159
amen. We are to continue and
those things that we've learned right here scripture.
843
01:07:50.159 --> 01:07:54.000
We are to continue in the scriptures. We are to continue to conduct
844
01:07:54.039 --> 01:07:58.320
ourselves, not in accordance with a
political party, not in accordance with the
845
01:07:58.360 --> 01:08:02.719
cultural ideas. We are to conduct
ourselves in light of scripture and show what
846
01:08:02.760 --> 01:08:06.079
should we do. We should love
our enemies. We should turn the other
847
01:08:06.159 --> 01:08:11.280
cheek. We should resist not evil. We should overcome evil with good.
848
01:08:11.320 --> 01:08:14.440
We should not be overcome by evil, but we should overcome evil with good.
849
01:08:14.800 --> 01:08:17.600
We should speak the truth and love, put away lying, bear not
850
01:08:17.800 --> 01:08:21.640
false witness. We should be accurate. We should be careful with what we
851
01:08:21.680 --> 01:08:26.399
say. We should be thoughtful.
We should be logical. We should do
852
01:08:27.319 --> 01:08:30.359
adequate research. We should not be
making claims that are not true. We
853
01:08:30.399 --> 01:08:35.239
should not be making accusations that are
not true. We should conduct ourselves the
854
01:08:35.279 --> 01:08:38.840
best of our ability in scripture,
are we going to do it right?
855
01:08:38.920 --> 01:08:42.439
No? Are we going to fall
short? Absolutely, but we acknowledge where
856
01:08:42.439 --> 01:08:45.399
we fall short, and we get
back up and we try. This is
857
01:08:45.439 --> 01:08:53.079
what we must do, and this
during this time. Now you can go
858
01:08:53.159 --> 01:08:58.840
listen to the rest of that.
As an assassination attempt slash Grace didn't really
859
01:08:58.840 --> 01:09:02.479
say much about Grace. Didn't really
say much about Grace. Now, maybe
860
01:09:02.520 --> 01:09:05.479
what he's going to do is,
I think this is really his title is
861
01:09:05.520 --> 01:09:10.840
assassination attempt slash Grace because the Grace
parties are in the Book of Galatians.
862
01:09:10.960 --> 01:09:14.520
So I'm assuming then he's going to
then stop this and transition and go back
863
01:09:14.520 --> 01:09:17.119
to the Book of Galatians. So
it's really two messages, and one instead
864
01:09:17.119 --> 01:09:20.920
of just doing the assassination attempt ending
the audio say all right, save that
865
01:09:21.000 --> 01:09:25.520
file. Now let's start a new
recording that that's what you probably should have
866
01:09:25.560 --> 01:09:28.439
done, and then you have both
of them separate. But okay, so
867
01:09:28.560 --> 01:09:32.399
that's what he attempted to do.
But that is another response to the shooting
868
01:09:33.079 --> 01:09:39.880
of Donald J. Trump. And
that is now that's on the sermon's two
869
01:09:39.880 --> 01:09:43.279
point. Oh app and I challenge
you to continue to look and see how
870
01:09:43.359 --> 01:09:46.199
Christians are responding. Again, I
just saw I was at the Washington Post
871
01:09:47.119 --> 01:09:53.079
when we were doing when I was
doing research about other things. Where was
872
01:09:53.119 --> 01:09:55.119
it? Did I save it in
my notes? Let me see here if
873
01:09:55.119 --> 01:10:04.039
I saved it? Okay here?
Uh oh wait no, oh, I
874
01:10:04.079 --> 01:10:08.720
gotta to get access. I have
to so yeah, that's not going to
875
01:10:08.760 --> 01:10:11.279
be helpful. All right, Yeah, I gotta find it. Maybe it
876
01:10:11.319 --> 01:10:15.520
was the Washington Post that they were
talking about how churches have responded to this.
877
01:10:15.800 --> 01:10:19.720
So the world's monitoring our response.
The world is monitoring the response of
878
01:10:19.800 --> 01:10:25.319
Christians to the shooting. So I'm
not the only one monitoring it. Church
879
01:10:25.439 --> 01:10:28.199
there, the world's going to monitor. And what are they going to hear?
880
01:10:28.840 --> 01:10:31.840
Are they going to hear a biblical
scriptural response? Are they going to
881
01:10:31.880 --> 01:10:36.079
hear something other? Are they going
to hear something other? Are they going
882
01:10:36.119 --> 01:10:40.920
to hear us say things that may
not even be accurate or true from the
883
01:10:40.960 --> 01:10:45.319
pulpit? See if the world it's
like You're like, well, it's an
884
01:10:45.319 --> 01:10:48.720
assassination attempt. Even though the mainstream
media won't call it that. Well,
885
01:10:49.159 --> 01:10:54.000
I got how many different things to
prove that that's just literally not true.
886
01:10:54.079 --> 01:10:56.479
When the world hears that, they're
going to be like, oh, these
887
01:10:56.600 --> 01:11:00.359
Christians, they can't even get their
fact straight. Understand, we can always
888
01:11:00.399 --> 01:11:05.319
mess up. Nobody is going to
be perfect in public speaking, nobody.
889
01:11:05.800 --> 01:11:10.119
So all we can do is correct
it. So I mean, obviously they
890
01:11:10.159 --> 01:11:12.720
can turn on a microphone and correct
it in five point two seconds, right,
891
01:11:12.760 --> 01:11:16.600
it'd be easy to correct it.
Can add audio to the beginning of
892
01:11:16.640 --> 01:11:19.359
it. Hey, and what you're
about to hear is what I stated on
893
01:11:19.479 --> 01:11:24.479
Sunday. In this I make the
following claims. And these claims are not
894
01:11:24.600 --> 01:11:27.920
verified or not true, or not
accurate, or I have no proof of
895
01:11:27.960 --> 01:11:31.199
the veracity of these claims. These
are on my own personal opinions, and
896
01:11:31.359 --> 01:11:33.840
you have to take them as an
opinion, not as statements of fact.
897
01:11:34.239 --> 01:11:45.119
You could just offer something along those
lines. I don't know where it's going.
898
01:11:45.279 --> 01:11:47.520
I have a bad feeling. I
just have a bad feeling. I'm
899
01:11:47.600 --> 01:11:54.159
hoping. I'm trying to be optimistic. So what we have so far is
900
01:11:54.199 --> 01:12:00.359
this is kind of what we've witnessed
a lot of discussion about providence and the
901
01:12:00.399 --> 01:12:05.840
decrees of God basically intervening to protect
Donald Trump. Nobody wants to mention the
902
01:12:05.920 --> 01:12:11.399
name of the man who was shot
and killed, because well, then you
903
01:12:11.399 --> 01:12:14.920
would have to argue God's decrees and
Providence called for that man to die,
904
01:12:15.199 --> 01:12:17.159
and that's going to be Nobody wants
to talk about that in church because that
905
01:12:17.199 --> 01:12:25.439
makes everyone uncomfortable. And then what
we're getting is a lot of accusations and
906
01:12:25.520 --> 01:12:30.840
claims that don't even really seem to
make any sense, Like they called for
907
01:12:30.920 --> 01:12:35.199
his assassination, and they you would
think that that. They then would refer
908
01:12:35.239 --> 01:12:42.079
to the previous they raided his home
as if someone was breaking in and doing
909
01:12:42.119 --> 01:12:45.039
an illegal thing. There was nothing
like unless you can, if you can
910
01:12:45.079 --> 01:12:48.840
prove that was illegal, then take
them to court and then say that everyone
911
01:12:48.840 --> 01:12:54.640
who's made an accusation against Donald Trump, they have all been false accusations,
912
01:12:54.720 --> 01:12:59.680
even though there's so much there that
we can't go down that path. And
913
01:12:59.680 --> 01:13:02.000
we've all also seeing our response that
says, hey, no longer have anything
914
01:13:02.039 --> 01:13:08.359
to do with liberals. We've got
some really messy responses so far. We've
915
01:13:08.359 --> 01:13:11.760
got some really messy ones. Mine
have been messy, all right, because
916
01:13:11.840 --> 01:13:15.399
probably all of us are trying to
figure it out, but I want you
917
01:13:15.439 --> 01:13:21.800
to keep monitoring them, keep thinking
because these have philological implications, biblical implications,
918
01:13:23.039 --> 01:13:26.560
and it kind of shows us where
the church is, how the church
919
01:13:26.640 --> 01:13:30.199
is thinking, and then you can
extrapolate from that. If the church is
920
01:13:30.239 --> 01:13:33.279
thinking and acting this way, now, what is it going to look like
921
01:13:35.079 --> 01:13:40.000
four months from now? What is
it going to look like a year from
922
01:13:40.079 --> 01:13:45.159
now? You can email me news
F at yahoo dot com. That's news
923
01:13:45.359 --> 01:13:50.000
i F at yahoo dot com.
Thanks for listening, everyone, Have a
924
01:13:50.000 --> 01:13:57.640
great day. Pay close attention to
what's going on in the church. Eyes
925
01:13:57.720 --> 01:14:02.159
open, listen, careful, think
deeply. God bless

00:00:02.279 --> 00:00:07.879
Looking at our world from a theological
perspective. This is the Theology Central podcast
2
00:00:08.199 --> 00:00:15.919
making Theology Central. Good afternoon everyone. It is Monday, July the fifteenth,
3
00:00:16.039 --> 00:00:20.920
twenty twenty four. It is currently
three twenty pm Central Time, and
4
00:00:21.000 --> 00:00:27.120
I am coming to you live from
the Theology Central studio located right here in
5
00:00:27.160 --> 00:00:33.799
Abilene, Texas. Well I thought
this would happen. It's it's kind of
6
00:00:33.960 --> 00:00:38.240
occurring in real time, and maybe
a little slower than I thought, but
7
00:00:38.359 --> 00:00:42.880
it is definitely starting to happen.
Have you been paying attention to the sermons
8
00:00:42.960 --> 00:00:46.520
two point zero app today? Have
you been paying attention to the beta dot
9
00:00:46.520 --> 00:00:50.359
sermon audio dot com website. Have
you been paying close attention to all the
10
00:00:50.359 --> 00:00:55.920
new sermons that are being added?
Are you starting to see things like Trump
11
00:00:56.560 --> 00:01:02.960
shooting, assassination provident. Are you
starting to see a lot of messages with
12
00:01:03.039 --> 00:01:06.719
those things in it? Well,
I think that you probably are, because
13
00:01:06.719 --> 00:01:11.359
they're starting to be added slowly,
but surely, maybe not at the number
14
00:01:11.719 --> 00:01:15.200
that I first predicted, but they're
starting to show up. They're starting to
15
00:01:15.239 --> 00:01:19.599
come in, and this to me
is the most important part. Like for
16
00:01:19.719 --> 00:01:23.760
me, whenever something happens in the
culture, whenever something happens in the world,
17
00:01:25.319 --> 00:01:29.439
I am most curious to see how
the church response, not how the
18
00:01:29.439 --> 00:01:34.560
world responds, not how Fox News
MSNBCCNN. No, I'm not as worried
19
00:01:34.560 --> 00:01:40.079
about how they respond. I'm always
curious how the church responds because it will
20
00:01:40.079 --> 00:01:45.159
demonstrate to me is the church thinking
biblically or are they thinking politically? Is
21
00:01:45.200 --> 00:01:51.359
the church thinking biblically? Are they
thinking based off their own personal opinions or
22
00:01:51.359 --> 00:01:55.319
desires? Do they stay biblical?
Do they fall into conspiratorial thinking? How
23
00:01:55.319 --> 00:01:59.239
which way are they going to go? And like when the pandemic began,
24
00:01:59.280 --> 00:02:01.959
I tried to I turned on this
microphone and tried to warn churches, You're
25
00:02:02.040 --> 00:02:07.760
being handed an opportunity. Here in
the midst of great difficulty, tragedy,
26
00:02:07.840 --> 00:02:12.879
pain and death, we are being
handed a great opportunity. Let's use this.
27
00:02:13.000 --> 00:02:16.280
And I tried to warn what not
to do well. I knew that
28
00:02:16.360 --> 00:02:24.039
once the assassination attempt on the former
president president Donald Trump presidential candidate Donald Trump,
29
00:02:24.439 --> 00:02:29.439
I knew obviously the world was going
to be talking about it. We
30
00:02:29.479 --> 00:02:31.240
all knew that you don't have to
be very you don't have to have any
31
00:02:31.240 --> 00:02:35.759
ability to make any prediction we all
knew that, but I knew slowly,
32
00:02:36.039 --> 00:02:42.439
but surely the church and Christians would
start to respond. Now, I really
33
00:02:42.520 --> 00:02:46.479
felt that a lot of the things
showing up in the feed on my feed,
34
00:02:46.520 --> 00:02:51.199
on the sermon's two point zero app
I really thought Sunday would start seeing
35
00:02:51.240 --> 00:02:55.680
a lot of Trump related content.
But it appears many did not use some
36
00:02:55.879 --> 00:03:00.479
did. Some definitely use the pulpit
as a way to address it. Some
37
00:03:00.680 --> 00:03:04.879
they may have had a sermon about
you know, this subject or this passage
38
00:03:04.879 --> 00:03:09.360
of scripture, but they worked the
subject of the Trump assassination attempt in it.
39
00:03:09.960 --> 00:03:15.680
Or what they did is they just
they may they In some cases,
40
00:03:15.960 --> 00:03:20.639
it appears some of them they took
like twenty minutes address the Trump situation,
41
00:03:21.479 --> 00:03:24.360
cut that, then did the sermon, and which I think is which is
42
00:03:24.400 --> 00:03:29.159
interesting, like if you know that's
on your mind, instead of letting it
43
00:03:29.360 --> 00:03:31.919
kind of hijack your sermon, just
get it out of the way, stop
44
00:03:31.960 --> 00:03:36.400
that, upload that, then record
the sermon and upload that. So a
45
00:03:36.400 --> 00:03:42.719
lot of them took various different approaches, and I and I'm glad that they
46
00:03:42.960 --> 00:03:47.520
did that. I'm glad that they're
offering their thoughts and opinions. My question
47
00:03:47.759 --> 00:03:52.800
is. And I told you to
be monitoring this and listening because I want
48
00:03:52.800 --> 00:03:55.280
you to hear all the different perspectives. But as we listen to how the
49
00:03:55.400 --> 00:04:00.000
church is responding, do we feel
it's biblical? Now? The very first
50
00:04:00.159 --> 00:04:03.479
response I shared with everyone, right
from someone else. I mean, I
51
00:04:03.560 --> 00:04:08.479
shared my initial response, and whatever
you may think about that. But when
52
00:04:08.560 --> 00:04:11.360
I shared the first response that I
found, remember I received it in an
53
00:04:11.400 --> 00:04:16.199
email. That one was troubling and
disturbing beyond I don't even know what to
54
00:04:16.279 --> 00:04:20.759
say. Their conclusion was, Hey, Christians, as a result of the
55
00:04:21.000 --> 00:04:27.199
assassination attempt against Donald Trump, no
longer have anything to do with liberals.
56
00:04:27.319 --> 00:04:30.639
Don't hang out with them, don't
have anything to do with them, separate
57
00:04:30.680 --> 00:04:33.319
yourself from them, just be done
with them, cut them out of your
58
00:04:33.439 --> 00:04:38.279
life. And I'm like, wow, I don't know if that is the
59
00:04:38.279 --> 00:04:44.199
biblical approach. All right? Then
we looked at a response today and the
60
00:04:44.319 --> 00:04:50.439
subject of God's providence, God's sovereignty, and God's decrees came up, and
61
00:04:50.480 --> 00:04:54.519
we spent a lot of time looking
at that. Right, I try to
62
00:04:54.519 --> 00:04:59.040
help you understand God's decrees, God's
providence. I gave you specific questions to
63
00:04:59.160 --> 00:05:04.079
write down. And remember, though, so far, in all of the
64
00:05:04.079 --> 00:05:09.519
responses that I've heard so far,
all the ones that I've heard so far,
65
00:05:09.879 --> 00:05:18.160
remember Corey a Compretour, He's not
being mentioned. And Corey Compretour is
66
00:05:18.319 --> 00:05:23.680
the man who died at the Trump
rally. He was a spectator who died,
67
00:05:23.680 --> 00:05:28.079
and he died trying to protect his
family. All right, Corey Comparatore,
68
00:05:28.120 --> 00:05:30.839
If I'm saying his name correctly,
if I'm miss if I'm saying his
69
00:05:30.920 --> 00:05:35.079
last name incorrect, please forgive me. I obviously want to get his name
70
00:05:35.399 --> 00:05:40.879
right. But Corey Comparatoire, if
that name, you need to write that
71
00:05:41.040 --> 00:05:44.399
name down. Because so much of
this discussion, when it talks about God,
72
00:05:44.439 --> 00:05:48.560
when pastors or Christians are talking about
God's providence, God's decree, God's
73
00:05:48.600 --> 00:05:55.319
protection, God intervening, they just
conveniently leave out the person who died,
74
00:05:57.439 --> 00:06:01.040
and they focus on God preserving,
protecting his decree, his providence, and
75
00:06:01.240 --> 00:06:05.759
preserving and saving Donald Trump. And
it just seems like, I don't know,
76
00:06:05.959 --> 00:06:09.560
Look, that bothers me. May
not bother you, but it bothers
77
00:06:09.639 --> 00:06:12.000
me. But the bottom line is
what I'm trying to say in all of
78
00:06:12.040 --> 00:06:16.600
this, As the responses are coming
in, and I'm doing my very best
79
00:06:16.600 --> 00:06:19.639
to monitor the responses. Now,
listen, listen, listen, listen,
80
00:06:19.680 --> 00:06:27.199
listen. I am not trying to
monitor the response simply so that I can
81
00:06:27.279 --> 00:06:33.680
criticize. I'm trying to monitor the
response to see how the church is thinking
82
00:06:34.199 --> 00:06:39.240
and which direction the church is going
when it comes to well, not only
83
00:06:39.279 --> 00:06:45.160
this cultural, significant tragic event,
but how it may continue to respond to
84
00:06:45.240 --> 00:06:49.000
other significant tragic cultural events. And
as it continues to try, as the
85
00:06:49.040 --> 00:06:53.360
church continues to try to respond to
what is a you know, could be
86
00:06:53.600 --> 00:06:57.639
a very you know, I don't
know which direction the culture is going to
87
00:06:57.639 --> 00:07:00.720
go. This could become even more
divisive, even more. I don't know
88
00:07:00.759 --> 00:07:02.639
where things are going to go,
but I want to know where the church
89
00:07:02.720 --> 00:07:08.720
is at it, how the church
is thinking, And by monitoring it,
90
00:07:09.240 --> 00:07:13.439
I'm helping you be able to hear
all the different perspectives, right because you
91
00:07:13.480 --> 00:07:17.319
may be listening to different perspectives than
the ones I'm finding. So then you
92
00:07:17.360 --> 00:07:21.040
can compare the ones you're listening to
to the ones I'm sharing. You can
93
00:07:21.079 --> 00:07:25.040
then go listen to the ones I'm
sharing with you listen to them all.
94
00:07:26.279 --> 00:07:30.040
You can also you get to hear
my perspective. So you're getting a lot
95
00:07:30.040 --> 00:07:32.839
of different perspectives and you can just
kind of determine how you're thinking. You
96
00:07:32.839 --> 00:07:38.959
can try to compare how all of
these other perspectives align are in disagreement with
97
00:07:39.000 --> 00:07:44.800
the way you're thinking about this very
difficult and tragic situation. So are you
98
00:07:44.920 --> 00:07:49.480
ready? This one I found in
my feed tab on the sermon's two point
99
00:07:49.480 --> 00:07:53.519
oh app. I keep wanting to
say my RSS feed, but the feed
100
00:07:53.560 --> 00:07:59.560
tab on the Sermon's two point oh
app. This one was entitled assassination attempt
101
00:08:00.120 --> 00:08:11.160
slash Grace pastor Brian Butler assassination attempt
slash Grace. All right, now,
102
00:08:11.519 --> 00:08:15.639
now they you know, sermonadio,
you can have a long title, but
103
00:08:15.639 --> 00:08:18.319
then they want you to give it
a short title. So sometimes trying to
104
00:08:18.000 --> 00:08:22.160
trying to get a title that you
know works as a short title, sometimes
105
00:08:22.199 --> 00:08:24.800
you have to just kind of do
that. So I called this I think
106
00:08:24.839 --> 00:08:30.480
the Trump shooting and Grace only because
I'm kind of following the direction they're going
107
00:08:30.519 --> 00:08:33.519
to go. I don't know how
much of this we're going to review,
108
00:08:33.600 --> 00:08:37.240
but we're going to review some of
this and just kind of get an idea.
109
00:08:37.240 --> 00:08:41.200
I don't want this to turn into
like a seven part like seven parts
110
00:08:41.240 --> 00:08:46.000
to just review one response to the
Trump shooting, to the assassination attempt.
111
00:08:46.240 --> 00:08:52.039
I want to try to to just
monitor a mini over the next week,
112
00:08:52.320 --> 00:08:56.759
because I think I think they're going
to just slowly. I don't know.
113
00:08:56.879 --> 00:08:58.720
I think I think we'll be hearing
about this for the next two weeks.
114
00:08:58.720 --> 00:09:01.639
PAP. I think a lot of
people, a lot of pastors did not
115
00:09:01.879 --> 00:09:07.000
touch it Sunday, mainly because well, it happens Saturday, and a lot
116
00:09:07.039 --> 00:09:11.519
of pastors are just not are not
very good at like here's my sermon,
117
00:09:11.799 --> 00:09:15.600
boom, immediately switched to something else. I don't think some pastors may be
118
00:09:15.679 --> 00:09:18.759
great at it. I don't think
others have a hard time doing that.
119
00:09:18.039 --> 00:09:22.200
I have no problem. I can. I can change direction one hour before
120
00:09:22.240 --> 00:09:26.799
church, fifteen minutes before church if
need be. Typically now sometimes I can
121
00:09:26.840 --> 00:09:30.480
have a problem. But a lot
of times I've been studying, thinking about
122
00:09:30.519 --> 00:09:33.679
so many things. I can usually
just grab something and for the most part
123
00:09:33.759 --> 00:09:37.000
do a halfway decent job. But
not everyone can do can do that now,
124
00:09:37.080 --> 00:09:39.639
there's times I can't, but there's
but usually maybe that's because I haven't
125
00:09:39.679 --> 00:09:45.639
been spending as much time thinking,
reading, meditating. So I'm not ready,
126
00:09:45.720 --> 00:09:48.759
right, and so that's on me, but I think typically I can,
127
00:09:50.000 --> 00:09:52.679
and then sometimes you just well,
yeah, we can get all kinds
128
00:09:52.679 --> 00:09:56.960
of the reasons why. But all
right, but I think many Wednesday,
129
00:09:58.639 --> 00:10:03.200
those who have Wednesday services definitely address
it. And then I think maybe many
130
00:10:03.320 --> 00:10:07.240
on this coming Sunday, that's when
they're going to address it. I like
131
00:10:07.320 --> 00:10:09.720
to, you know, try to
deal with things in more real time.
132
00:10:09.000 --> 00:10:13.240
And I think you know, all
the pastors, especially in the sermon's two
133
00:10:13.279 --> 00:10:16.399
point oh app, you already have
the technology to broadcast, just use the
134
00:10:16.480 --> 00:10:22.639
technology to go live at any time
and talk about whatever anytime in real time.
135
00:10:22.679 --> 00:10:24.600
I think, I think that's a
great tool that we have. We
136
00:10:24.639 --> 00:10:30.399
can speak to God's people in real
time about what's happening in the world.
137
00:10:30.519 --> 00:10:35.440
And I and I wish more pastors
utilize the technology available to them. I
138
00:10:35.440 --> 00:10:41.000
mean, what a great tool.
So we will see. But I wanted
139
00:10:41.039 --> 00:10:45.039
to at least listen to this one
because this one was in my was in
140
00:10:45.039 --> 00:10:48.480
my feed on my sermon sermon audio
two point oh app. In fact,
141
00:10:48.559 --> 00:10:50.480
let me pull up the app right
now, all right, So the one,
142
00:10:50.600 --> 00:10:56.200
uh, the one here is assassination, attempt slash Grace Pastor Brian Butler.
143
00:10:56.240 --> 00:10:58.600
Please look it up, download it. I'm gonna go to my feed
144
00:10:58.759 --> 00:11:03.840
tab really quick. I'm gonna go
to the feet tab I'm doing. All
145
00:11:03.960 --> 00:11:07.679
right, what do we have here? We have do people who commit suicide
146
00:11:07.720 --> 00:11:11.799
go to Hell? All right?
That one was posted twenty three minutes ago.
147
00:11:13.840 --> 00:11:18.159
And see what else do we have
here? God's decrees and the Trump
148
00:11:18.159 --> 00:11:22.440
shooting that's mine about four hours ago. All right, here we go.
149
00:11:26.159 --> 00:11:30.360
See here, okay, we have
the Albert Mohler, the Briefing Special Edition,
150
00:11:30.480 --> 00:11:35.480
God's Sovereignty, Moral Evil, and
the attempted assassination. So we reviewed
151
00:11:35.519 --> 00:11:39.080
that. We reviewed that. Then
if I go further down, Oh,
152
00:11:39.279 --> 00:11:45.480
I guess what remember the church who
started that did that? What thirty five
153
00:11:45.639 --> 00:11:50.399
thirty four part series on Psalm eighty
three. Well, ladies and gentlemen,
154
00:11:50.440 --> 00:11:54.600
they finished saw eighty three. They
are now moved to Psalm one nineteen.
155
00:11:54.200 --> 00:11:58.919
So that's that's interesting. Okay,
I didn't notice that. I just noticed
156
00:11:58.919 --> 00:12:01.120
that. All right, there's another
one called a response to the shooting of
157
00:12:01.120 --> 00:12:05.279
Donald Trump. Oh wait, that's
me. Okay, I knew that it
158
00:12:05.320 --> 00:12:09.279
was me. I was making a
little being that in my own feed I
159
00:12:09.320 --> 00:12:16.399
show up numerous times. All right, here we go. Where maybe the
160
00:12:16.399 --> 00:12:18.919
one I found wasn't in my feed
tab? Where did I find it?
161
00:12:20.120 --> 00:12:22.759
Oh? I know where I probably
found it? Okay, hang on.
162
00:12:24.480 --> 00:12:31.519
I may have found it under the
discover tab, discover tab under newest sermons.
163
00:12:31.600 --> 00:12:33.799
That's where I found it, all
right, That's where I found it.
164
00:12:35.240 --> 00:12:37.519
All right, So hang on,
let me look here. Now,
165
00:12:37.120 --> 00:12:41.960
I did not find it in my
in the feed tab because most of those
166
00:12:41.960 --> 00:12:45.159
in the feedtab. But I'm in
the feedtab more than everyone else. So
167
00:12:45.360 --> 00:12:54.360
here we go. Let me look
here. Okay, what is dispensationalism?
168
00:12:54.360 --> 00:12:58.519
All right? That looks good.
Every critique of reform dispensationalism, right,
169
00:12:58.600 --> 00:13:07.679
those sounds like interesting. Here we
go. I'm looking. I'm looking.
170
00:13:07.679 --> 00:13:09.720
There's been a lot of things added
since the last time I looked, So
171
00:13:11.480 --> 00:13:13.360
I'm not fine. Now A lot
of this has nothing to do with the
172
00:13:13.440 --> 00:13:18.559
situation. I thought more and more
were being added. Maybe I was wrong.
173
00:13:18.720 --> 00:13:28.279
Here, Okay, I'm looking.
Okay, Trump has announced his running
174
00:13:28.279 --> 00:13:33.879
mate. I've just got a notification
about that from Truth Social Okay, all
175
00:13:33.960 --> 00:13:37.919
right, hang on, here we
go. Yeah, all right, so
176
00:13:39.120 --> 00:13:41.840
the all the ones I was seeing
must have been I don't know how long
177
00:13:41.840 --> 00:13:46.279
ago, because they are they're now. Oh, here we go. Here's
178
00:13:46.320 --> 00:13:52.600
one my response to the attempted assassination
of Trump. My response to the attempted
179
00:13:52.600 --> 00:13:56.279
assassination of Trump. So that was
posted. I don't have a time a
180
00:13:56.320 --> 00:14:09.840
stamp for that one. Let me
see here, Okay, I'm looking here,
181
00:14:13.200 --> 00:14:18.159
I'm looking yeah. So they're starting
to come in. Some of these
182
00:14:18.240 --> 00:14:20.759
now I cannot find because so many
things have been added. But they were
183
00:14:20.799 --> 00:14:24.240
definitely there a little while ago.
I don't even know where I found that
184
00:14:24.279 --> 00:14:28.840
other one now, probably I was
looking all over the app and came across
185
00:14:28.879 --> 00:14:31.720
it. I figured there's gonna be
more. I just feel like there's gonna
186
00:14:31.720 --> 00:14:33.039
be more. There was more.
I can't owe. This one looks good.
187
00:14:33.039 --> 00:14:37.559
A symbolic hermeneutic interpreting metaphors. Wow, that one looks interesting, all
188
00:14:37.639 --> 00:14:41.720
right. So there's always so many
things to look at. I just don't
189
00:14:41.720 --> 00:14:45.200
know where all the other ones went. But I don't see them currently.
190
00:14:45.840 --> 00:14:56.360
Let me go back here, yeah, okay, And I thought under the
191
00:14:56.399 --> 00:15:00.840
trending under the trending hashtags, they
just have Jesus, Gospel and God.
192
00:15:01.000 --> 00:15:03.120
I don't know if those are being
updated or not. So more was coming
193
00:15:03.159 --> 00:15:07.159
in. I just don't know where
they are currently. But somehow, at
194
00:15:07.200 --> 00:15:11.639
some point I found this one assassination
attempt. Grace obviously wasn't under my UH
195
00:15:13.240 --> 00:15:15.840
and my feed tab, so I
don't know. This must be from one
196
00:15:15.879 --> 00:15:18.039
I don't actually follow. In fact, let me go look here, because
197
00:15:18.080 --> 00:15:24.960
now I'm confused, do I actually
follow this one or not? Let's go
198
00:15:26.080 --> 00:15:31.000
to UH this church. No,
I don't follow it. I don't follow
199
00:15:31.039 --> 00:15:37.200
it, all right, So that's
interesting. Okay, Yeah, I don't
200
00:15:37.240 --> 00:15:43.679
follow this church. Okay, So
this is Cornerstone Church, right and Indiana?
201
00:15:43.360 --> 00:15:50.440
All right? So and Cornerstone Church
t r A F A lga R.
202
00:15:50.720 --> 00:15:54.879
Not even going to attempt that,
all right, t R A f
203
00:15:54.039 --> 00:16:00.519
A l g A R so somewhere
in Indiana. So I don't even follow
204
00:16:00.600 --> 00:16:03.480
this one. I'm gonna follow at
least in the meantime, so I can
205
00:16:03.600 --> 00:16:06.759
ensure that now that message will be
added to my feed and I can find
206
00:16:06.759 --> 00:16:08.480
it if I need to refer to
it again. So I thought more were
207
00:16:08.519 --> 00:16:14.080
coming in. Maybe maybe my initial
observations were not correct. I thought they
208
00:16:14.080 --> 00:16:17.559
were slowly starting to come in.
I'll have to do a little bit more
209
00:16:17.559 --> 00:16:19.360
look, a little bit more work. I know, I did a search.
210
00:16:21.519 --> 00:16:26.039
I did do a search for I
think, oh, let me do
211
00:16:26.120 --> 00:16:30.399
this. Let's do a search.
Let's do a search here and maybe maybe
212
00:16:30.440 --> 00:16:38.639
we'll see what happens here. I'm
going to do a search. Okay,
213
00:16:40.759 --> 00:16:45.840
here we go. There's a bunch
of sermons hang on, oh hashtag okay
214
00:16:47.559 --> 00:16:57.600
um assassination attempt. All right,
there's that. Uh, not as many,
215
00:16:59.519 --> 00:17:03.960
not as many as I uh.
Actually, some of these Trump ones
216
00:17:03.960 --> 00:17:07.759
are old thing about other things.
I'm gonna te I'm gonna type in I'm
217
00:17:07.759 --> 00:17:12.720
gonna try a different thing. I'm
gonna type in trump, hang on,
218
00:17:12.759 --> 00:17:21.319
I'm gonna try a couple of different
things. I really thought there was gonna
219
00:17:21.319 --> 00:17:30.880
be more. Maybe I was seeing
hang out. Here we go. Yeah,
220
00:17:30.319 --> 00:17:36.680
actually a lot of these are not. In fact, mine are the
221
00:17:36.680 --> 00:17:38.200
ones at the very top. A
lot of these have nothing to do with
222
00:17:38.240 --> 00:17:41.200
it. So I don't I don't
know what I was seeing. Maybe my
223
00:17:41.599 --> 00:17:45.119
maybe my perception was wrong. I
really thought more were coming in. If
224
00:17:45.160 --> 00:17:48.240
you notice more than I'm currently finding, let me know. I apologize for
225
00:17:48.279 --> 00:17:52.440
that delay. But yeah, I
was I thought more were coming in.
226
00:17:52.680 --> 00:17:56.079
Maybe what I'm seeing, Maybe what
I was seeing and I'm confusing it.
227
00:17:56.160 --> 00:18:00.319
I do get lots of notifications from
all my podcast apps, like all lot
228
00:18:00.400 --> 00:18:03.319
of notifications, So maybe I was
seeing all those notifications and just in my
229
00:18:03.440 --> 00:18:07.640
mind saying thinking I was seeing that
on the sermon's two point oh app.
230
00:18:07.720 --> 00:18:11.960
Obviously I can't find anything. I
don't even I can't even find the one
231
00:18:12.000 --> 00:18:15.119
that I pulled up. And I
know I saw it on the sermon's two
232
00:18:15.160 --> 00:18:17.559
point oh app because that's where I'm
listening to it on. So it showed
233
00:18:17.640 --> 00:18:19.359
up somewhere. I don't know where
I found it. And when I was
234
00:18:19.440 --> 00:18:25.200
looking when I got ready to pull
this one up, when I got ready
235
00:18:25.200 --> 00:18:32.119
to pull this one up, I
found I found a bunch of hang on,
236
00:18:32.680 --> 00:18:34.200
let me see here, let me
try it this way. Now I'm
237
00:18:34.200 --> 00:18:45.079
gonna and now I'm now now see
here. Uh no, really weird.
238
00:18:45.680 --> 00:18:49.279
Yeah, So there's gotta there's gotta
be a way. There's gotta be a
239
00:18:49.279 --> 00:18:52.960
way to I don't get to do
a better search, or something's going on.
240
00:18:53.119 --> 00:18:56.680
We will see. I'm still predicting
that more responses will come in.
241
00:18:56.759 --> 00:19:00.799
But as the responses come in,
so at this point. I'm I'm actually
242
00:19:00.839 --> 00:19:04.920
doing pretty good catching up and staying
caught up with all the responses coming in
243
00:19:04.960 --> 00:19:08.519
at least on the sermon's two point
oh app. So I maybe it's going
244
00:19:08.599 --> 00:19:11.960
to be a delay. We'll see. Well, look Wednesday and Sunday.
245
00:19:12.119 --> 00:19:15.920
If there's no responses Wednesday or Sunday, then I guess for the most part,
246
00:19:15.960 --> 00:19:19.640
the church is just not going to
talk about it. They're just going
247
00:19:19.720 --> 00:19:23.960
to kind of ignore it and move
on, which is which is interesting.
248
00:19:25.119 --> 00:19:27.279
So I know, I saw another
one on the sermon's two point o app
249
00:19:27.440 --> 00:19:33.440
something about Trump shooting and providence,
and that's nothing to do with mine.
250
00:19:33.880 --> 00:19:38.200
This was from another one. So
yeah, interesting, So we'll see.
251
00:19:38.240 --> 00:19:41.960
We'll keep an eye. It is
telling, like, I don't know how
252
00:19:42.000 --> 00:19:45.079
you feel about that. Do you
think the church should be quicker to respond
253
00:19:45.359 --> 00:19:51.039
or the church is doing it right
and either not responding or waiting. Now,
254
00:19:51.079 --> 00:19:52.640
in some ways, there's value in
waiting. There definitely is. But
255
00:19:52.759 --> 00:19:56.559
let's listen to the one I have
queued up. I apologize for all of
256
00:19:56.599 --> 00:19:59.319
that, but hey, we're trying
to we're trying to monitor it in real
257
00:19:59.359 --> 00:20:03.000
time. I was perceiving more.
We're coming in and if I'm wrong,
258
00:20:03.039 --> 00:20:07.480
you got to correct yourself live on
the air. I was wrong, obviously,
259
00:20:07.799 --> 00:20:11.119
all right, So let's look at
this and let's see how they approached
260
00:20:11.160 --> 00:20:22.079
it. Here we go, so
we are in Galatian six. But you're
261
00:20:22.119 --> 00:20:27.680
like, oh, okay, I
would be amiss not to speak of it
262
00:20:27.839 --> 00:20:33.680
about the events of things that happened
yesterday a little bit. There was an
263
00:20:33.680 --> 00:20:38.880
assassination attempt on President Trump, and
that's what it was. It was not
264
00:20:40.079 --> 00:20:42.440
he fell. It was not that
he heard a loud noise and ducked,
265
00:20:44.160 --> 00:20:48.880
as the mainstream media is reporting,
someone was three inches from shooting him in
266
00:20:48.880 --> 00:20:52.400
the center of the forehead. That's
a saund Okay, well, this is
267
00:20:52.440 --> 00:20:59.920
off to a bad start. It
was assassination attempt, not like the mainstream
268
00:21:00.519 --> 00:21:06.920
is saying. Okay. I literally
subscribe to every known news source in the
269
00:21:06.960 --> 00:21:11.480
history of humankind, all right,
from the New York Times, CNN,
270
00:21:11.759 --> 00:21:18.119
MSBC, AL Jazeera, Sky News, you you just named BBC, every
271
00:21:18.119 --> 00:21:26.359
Fox, you name the Associated Press
orters, you just named the New NPR.
272
00:21:26.440 --> 00:21:32.400
I subscribe to every single news podcast
in literally existence, and over and
273
00:21:32.480 --> 00:21:37.400
over and over, all of my
podcast notifications have said assassination attempt assassination atipt,
274
00:21:37.400 --> 00:21:40.759
assassination attempt. Let me just give
you a couple of quick examples.
275
00:21:40.960 --> 00:21:45.119
I got one just a few minutes
ago from CNN. But here's one Donald
276
00:21:45.160 --> 00:21:49.880
Trump explains get my shoes comment during
assassination attempt. This is from that ultra
277
00:21:51.279 --> 00:21:57.720
conservative website known as the Huffington Post. That's a liberal site. So I
278
00:21:57.720 --> 00:22:02.880
don't okay, where the hey,
this was an assassination attempt, not like
279
00:22:02.920 --> 00:22:04.599
the mainstream media. What do you
mean the main the mainstream media. I
280
00:22:04.799 --> 00:22:08.839
got notifications from CNN, NPR,
New York Times, you name the source.
281
00:22:10.359 --> 00:22:15.960
Assassination attempt, assassination attempt, assassination
attempt. Now, yes, essential
282
00:22:15.960 --> 00:22:21.160
at the very beginning, right when
the when the first reports came out,
283
00:22:21.279 --> 00:22:26.759
right when the first reports, the
very initial reports. So initially there was
284
00:22:26.880 --> 00:22:32.119
a little pause before someone called it
an assassination attempt. Right, there was
285
00:22:32.160 --> 00:22:36.000
a pause. And that's what any
good journalists should do, right, I
286
00:22:36.039 --> 00:22:40.400
have to be Now he was recording
this on Sunday. By Sunday, ever,
287
00:22:40.559 --> 00:22:42.799
people were already referring to it as
an assassination attempt. So to say
288
00:22:42.839 --> 00:22:51.160
the mainstream media like to try to
look, there's already enough division. We
289
00:22:51.319 --> 00:22:59.200
don't need to be util the mainstream
media and then us. So many times
290
00:22:59.200 --> 00:23:03.559
when I it's usually conservatives, we'll
say, yeah, the mainstream media doesn't
291
00:23:03.599 --> 00:23:06.880
want you to see this, and
it'll be like five seconds in Google.
292
00:23:07.000 --> 00:23:11.759
Well, there's fifty seven articles from
mainstream media. Looks like they're definitely talking
293
00:23:11.799 --> 00:23:15.440
about it. So you're just lying. The mainstream media is calling it an
294
00:23:15.440 --> 00:23:19.359
assassination attempt. I wish I could
pull up my CNN notifications. Let me
295
00:23:19.359 --> 00:23:22.119
see here, I've got so many
here, let me look here. Let's
296
00:23:22.200 --> 00:23:29.000
let's see here. Let's see here. There's BBC Associated Press, NBC News,
297
00:23:29.359 --> 00:23:33.640
the Ben Shapiro, oh here,
and now anytime. This is from
298
00:23:33.799 --> 00:23:38.480
NPR, Trump assassination attempt. That's
NPR, all right, Oh, CNN
299
00:23:40.039 --> 00:23:45.240
the attempted assassination of former President Donald
Trump that was just twenty eight minutes ago.
300
00:23:45.440 --> 00:23:48.240
All right, I can go on
and on. Don't tell me that
301
00:23:48.279 --> 00:23:52.319
they're not calling it and that's just
so not accurate. See, this is
302
00:23:52.359 --> 00:23:57.480
the thing. When we're gonna talk
about these issues as Christians, we got
303
00:23:57.519 --> 00:24:03.920
to ensure that we are stating things
factually. If you want to blame someone,
304
00:24:03.000 --> 00:24:07.119
I'm not part of the mainstream media, and even when I first started
305
00:24:07.160 --> 00:24:11.359
talking about it, I was very
careful about do we call it an assassination
306
00:24:11.559 --> 00:24:15.200
to it because we don't know some
details yet, we got to be very
307
00:24:15.240 --> 00:24:18.799
careful. Does that make me liberal? Does that make me have an agenda?
308
00:24:18.079 --> 00:24:21.920
Or does that make me trying to
be very careful to be accurate,
309
00:24:22.119 --> 00:24:26.319
because I even as right now we
don't really have a motivation, We don't
310
00:24:26.319 --> 00:24:29.559
have the motivation of the shooter.
I think they're still trying to get into
311
00:24:29.599 --> 00:24:33.440
the shooter's phone and trying to see
if he was communicating with anybody else,
312
00:24:33.720 --> 00:24:37.039
and that was the last I had
heard, so they're still trying to paint
313
00:24:37.079 --> 00:24:41.240
that picture. But I even stated
numerous times I'm going to call it an
314
00:24:41.240 --> 00:24:45.079
assassination attempt because when someone takes a
gun and tries to shoot a former president
315
00:24:45.359 --> 00:24:49.000
or a presidential candidate, I think
we can call that an assassination attempt.
316
00:24:49.039 --> 00:24:55.279
I think so so, And I
even stated if this doesn't meet the technical
317
00:24:55.359 --> 00:24:59.400
definition, I apologize. Now,
why would I go through all of that
318
00:25:00.039 --> 00:25:03.279
because I'm spiritual, not because I'm
godly, only because I'm trying to be
319
00:25:03.319 --> 00:25:11.960
as accurate as possible. So,
yes, the very initial reports because I
320
00:25:11.000 --> 00:25:17.599
remember what initially when I heard that
there had been some kind of shooting at
321
00:25:17.599 --> 00:25:21.480
the Trump rally, there was like
no details. The first thing I think
322
00:25:21.519 --> 00:25:25.720
I saw was from the Associated Press, and it was something like loud noises,
323
00:25:26.119 --> 00:25:30.839
loud pops heard at Trump rally.
It was very it was very vague,
324
00:25:32.039 --> 00:25:34.640
right like, it was very like
they were trying to confirm exactly what
325
00:25:34.759 --> 00:25:41.839
happened. And then maybe fifteen minutes
boom, then Trump shot Trump. And
326
00:25:41.880 --> 00:25:45.440
then immediately, probably within a couple
of hours, the headline started rolling.
327
00:25:45.559 --> 00:25:49.160
I know by Sunday, not or
by Saturday night, late Saturday night or
328
00:25:49.200 --> 00:25:53.480
early Sunday morning, assassination attempt was
already showing up a number of headlines.
329
00:25:53.519 --> 00:25:57.519
So that this is off to a
bad start. This is off to a
330
00:25:57.559 --> 00:26:04.359
bad start. So what can we
learn from this when we respond to national
331
00:26:04.519 --> 00:26:11.000
tragedy, cultural events. The Church
needs to be the source of precise,
332
00:26:12.079 --> 00:26:18.119
accurate information to the best of our
ability. If the church, here's the
333
00:26:18.160 --> 00:26:22.359
thing, If the church, and
many in the Church are very convinced of
334
00:26:22.359 --> 00:26:27.559
this, that all of the media
lies under the power of the evil One.
335
00:26:27.759 --> 00:26:33.200
Therefore we cannot trust it. If
that's going to be our approach our
336
00:26:33.240 --> 00:26:37.599
stance. They're all liberals, they're
all ungodly. We cannot trust any of
337
00:26:37.640 --> 00:26:41.880
them. Now, it's fascinating.
Well, the church in many cases will
338
00:26:41.880 --> 00:26:44.839
point the finger at all the mainstream
media and condemn it. They still will
339
00:26:44.880 --> 00:26:49.599
support Fox News that will sued for
defamation for our billion dollars and ended up
340
00:26:49.599 --> 00:26:55.960
paying what seven hundred and fifty seven
million dollars because they lied about the entire
341
00:26:56.000 --> 00:27:02.720
election being stolen. They gave a
false gave false information, they misrepresented and
342
00:27:02.799 --> 00:27:07.519
from a thilological, biblical perspective,
they bore false witness and Christians bought into
343
00:27:07.599 --> 00:27:10.920
it. And so wait a minute, if you're so mad at them,
344
00:27:11.519 --> 00:27:14.759
if you're gonna be met at CNN, in PR and the rest, then
345
00:27:14.799 --> 00:27:21.200
why not Fox News? They got
something horribly, horribly, horribly wrong and
346
00:27:21.279 --> 00:27:26.799
had to pay for it. And
there's still another lawsuit from smartmatic is Fox
347
00:27:26.880 --> 00:27:30.799
News has to deal with that.
Newsmax got sued. There were a bunch
348
00:27:30.839 --> 00:27:34.319
of those ultra conservative news media they
got sued for their false information. But
349
00:27:34.599 --> 00:27:38.799
Christians don't care about that. That's
I can't stand that. That's just that's
350
00:27:38.799 --> 00:27:45.359
not about truth, that's just bias. If the church is so concerned that
351
00:27:45.400 --> 00:27:51.799
the news media has it all wrong. Well, then, ladies and gentlemen,
352
00:27:52.000 --> 00:27:55.640
that's a very important ministry. Then
for the church to try to provide
353
00:27:55.839 --> 00:28:00.480
that we're going to be the source
of good information. We're gonna be We're
354
00:28:00.519 --> 00:28:03.640
going to be the ones who are
going to ensure that we're accurate, that
355
00:28:03.680 --> 00:28:07.720
we're clear, we are concise,
and we're going to help people know exactly
356
00:28:07.720 --> 00:28:11.599
what's going on in the world as
it's going on with factual information. Now,
357
00:28:12.000 --> 00:28:15.200
I don't know if you're going to
hire a team of journalists to go
358
00:28:15.240 --> 00:28:18.039
investigate every I don't know what you're
going to rely on to get your information,
359
00:28:18.240 --> 00:28:23.960
but you're going to be relying on
something. So all I'm saying is,
360
00:28:25.000 --> 00:28:27.480
if the church is going to criticize
everyone else, then it's the church's
361
00:28:27.559 --> 00:28:32.480
job to provide what you say everyone
else is doing wrong. The church doesn't
362
00:28:32.480 --> 00:28:34.119
want to actually put forth the effort
of the time to do that right.
363
00:28:34.319 --> 00:28:37.440
Well, and you may say,
well, it's not the church's job,
364
00:28:37.559 --> 00:28:44.839
Okay, Well, then whose job
is it going to be? And whatever
365
00:28:44.960 --> 00:28:48.880
standard you use to criticize one source, you have to criticize all the source
366
00:28:48.000 --> 00:28:52.400
by that same standard. Well,
I know one thing. Don't criticize others
367
00:28:52.559 --> 00:28:56.559
for getting something wrong. Well,
you're getting something wrong because I can clearly
368
00:28:56.599 --> 00:29:02.240
demonstrate and right here on my iPad
in real time, all right, and
369
00:29:02.359 --> 00:29:07.400
real time, I was wrong about
how many messages were coming in about this
370
00:29:07.480 --> 00:29:11.000
situation, and so I immediately corrected
myself in real time as I was verifying
371
00:29:11.000 --> 00:29:17.640
and checking, and in real time
I could verify and check everything from NPR,
372
00:29:17.839 --> 00:29:22.880
CNN, and the Huffington Post is
using the term assassination attempt. So
373
00:29:22.400 --> 00:29:27.440
it's not that the mainstream is that's
that's oh, that's not even helpful.
374
00:29:27.440 --> 00:29:30.599
So we're going to back this up
again. All right, this is we're
375
00:29:30.599 --> 00:29:41.400
off to a rough start, so
we are in Galatian six. But you're
376
00:29:41.440 --> 00:29:48.000
like, oh, okay, I
would be amiss not to speak of it
377
00:29:48.160 --> 00:29:53.000
about the events of things that happened
yesterday a little bit. There was an
378
00:29:53.000 --> 00:29:59.200
assassination attempt on President Trump, and
that's what it was. It was not
379
00:29:59.359 --> 00:30:02.759
he fell, it was not that
he heard a loud noise and ducked,
380
00:30:03.480 --> 00:30:07.200
as the mainstream media is reporting,
someone was three inches from shooting him in
381
00:30:07.200 --> 00:30:11.480
the center of the forehead. That's
assassination attempt and it's not that there has
382
00:30:11.519 --> 00:30:15.279
an attempt that they attempted to shoot
him. They did shoot him, just
383
00:30:15.279 --> 00:30:22.720
by God's providential grace. It went
through his a year Okay, So it
384
00:30:22.920 --> 00:30:30.599
was by God's providential grace that the
bullet went through his ear. God's providential
385
00:30:30.599 --> 00:30:36.920
grace. God guided and directed the
entire situation so that Trump would be shot
386
00:30:37.039 --> 00:30:45.119
through the ear. Now, will
he name the individual who was shot and
387
00:30:45.200 --> 00:30:48.359
killed? And he's he going to
then say it was by God's providential grace
388
00:30:48.680 --> 00:30:56.279
that this man was killed at the
exact same event. Now, maybe he's
389
00:30:56.279 --> 00:31:00.720
going to mention him, maybe he's
not. But just there's that providential grace
390
00:31:02.119 --> 00:31:08.559
concept, providential grace. And what
about all the other people on Saturday who
391
00:31:08.640 --> 00:31:17.000
died from cancer, murder, all
the other horrible things that happened Saturday around
392
00:31:17.119 --> 00:31:22.799
the world. God's providential grace allowed
them all to suffer and die, but
393
00:31:22.920 --> 00:31:27.559
it showed up at a specific location
for Trump to spare him. Now,
394
00:31:27.720 --> 00:31:30.960
that's okay if you go with providential
grace. But if you're going to say
395
00:31:30.960 --> 00:31:34.920
God's decree, God's providential grace,
you've got to also then say God controlled
396
00:31:36.119 --> 00:31:45.119
decreed. Whatever comes to pass that
includes all the other horrible things and not
397
00:31:45.279 --> 00:31:51.480
cause more damage. Killed at least
one behind him, has injured others,
398
00:31:53.039 --> 00:31:56.000
And I feel for those people that
are there just to show support in a
399
00:31:56.039 --> 00:32:05.359
free country to be able to do
so. He shot. Now, praise
400
00:32:05.400 --> 00:32:09.559
God, he did mention the people
who were shot, and he gets emotional
401
00:32:09.559 --> 00:32:15.759
about it. I'm very grateful for
that. Now he doesn't mention providence or
402
00:32:15.839 --> 00:32:20.720
grace or God's decree or God's sovereignty
and light of the people who died.
403
00:32:21.960 --> 00:32:24.960
And so far, in all the
responses that mentioned providence or anything like that,
404
00:32:25.160 --> 00:32:30.839
it's only applied to what the positive
for Trump, and it's not applied
405
00:32:31.279 --> 00:32:37.480
to any of the negative or the
negative is not even mentioned. In fact,
406
00:32:37.480 --> 00:32:40.039
a man who's shot, nobody even
really wants to the man who was
407
00:32:40.039 --> 00:32:45.480
shot and killed, who was attending
the rally, Nobody ever really wants to
408
00:32:45.519 --> 00:32:49.559
say his name. In fact,
that the name. At this point,
409
00:32:49.720 --> 00:32:52.559
when it's all said and done,
all anyone's going to remember is that Donald
410
00:32:52.599 --> 00:32:54.119
Trump was shot, and the man
who actually died, I don't even know
411
00:32:54.119 --> 00:33:02.839
if anyone's even going to remember his
name. Those that were injured, well,
412
00:33:02.880 --> 00:33:07.200
the event itself is shocking because when
you hear Dave first sent me my
413
00:33:07.200 --> 00:33:09.039
first contact, and I thought just
said shots fired, and I didn't read
414
00:33:09.079 --> 00:33:15.319
far enough to see that that he
was hit. So it's just shocking enough
415
00:33:15.519 --> 00:33:21.079
the event that it happened at all. But it's not shocking that it did
416
00:33:21.079 --> 00:33:23.720
happen because in the last few weeks
there have been people out calling for his
417
00:33:23.759 --> 00:33:31.119
assassination openly. In the last few
weeks, there have been people calling for
418
00:33:31.200 --> 00:33:40.200
the assassination of Donald Trump openly.
All right. Now, that's a very
419
00:33:40.279 --> 00:33:45.160
big claim. That's a very big
claim. I remember this is all being
420
00:33:45.200 --> 00:33:47.880
stated in church. So he stated
that the mainstream media wouldn't call it an
421
00:33:47.880 --> 00:33:52.759
assassination attempt. I've clearly demonstrated that's
not the case. So now he doesn't
422
00:33:52.759 --> 00:33:57.640
tell me which people have been openly
calling for the assassination of Donald Trump over
423
00:33:57.640 --> 00:34:01.720
the last few weeks. All Right, So I'm gonna I'm gonna do something.
424
00:34:04.039 --> 00:34:15.760
Okay, over the last few weeks, has there been open calls for
425
00:34:15.840 --> 00:34:31.599
the assassination of Donald Trump. I'm
gonna be utilizing some AI programs here.
426
00:34:35.960 --> 00:34:42.000
Okay, Well, they don't have
the information yet, all right, So
427
00:34:42.880 --> 00:35:06.719
I'm gonna try this. Okay,
I'm gonna try this, Okay, I'm
428
00:35:06.719 --> 00:35:29.280
gonna try it differently, all right, and I'm not finding Yeah, I'm
429
00:35:29.679 --> 00:35:32.199
not finding anything currently. I'm not
saying it's not there. I'm not saying
430
00:35:32.239 --> 00:35:36.440
it's not there. Here's what I
would say when we're talking about this.
431
00:35:36.559 --> 00:35:38.239
So we're gonna say, hey,
it's not shocking does someone try to assassinate
432
00:35:38.320 --> 00:35:43.760
President Trump, because over the last
few weeks there have been open calls for
433
00:35:43.840 --> 00:35:50.719
his assassination. Probably what should follow
is here's number one, here's the source,
434
00:35:50.880 --> 00:35:53.559
here's the individual. Here's number two, here's the source, here's the
435
00:35:53.599 --> 00:35:58.159
individual. Here's number three. Here. I'm not saying that that it's not
436
00:35:58.239 --> 00:36:00.800
the case. I'm not saying it
is the case. I'm saying that in
437
00:36:00.840 --> 00:36:06.360
real time I cannot verify this.
And all I'm saying is, if you're
438
00:36:06.440 --> 00:36:09.840
upset that the mainstream media, according
to your accusation, was not getting the
439
00:36:09.960 --> 00:36:15.039
term right assassination attempt, even though
I've got clear proof that they are.
440
00:36:15.199 --> 00:36:19.480
If your next accusation is, hey, it's not shocking that President Trump would
441
00:36:19.480 --> 00:36:23.519
be shot because there's been people openly
calling for his assassination, then we need
442
00:36:23.559 --> 00:36:28.920
to find who those individuals are,
where the sources are and then they need
443
00:36:28.960 --> 00:36:34.320
to be made public and pointed out
and say did this contribute? Is this
444
00:36:34.679 --> 00:36:38.760
is what? Was the shooter influenced
by these open calls? Did he know
445
00:36:38.880 --> 00:36:42.960
that these calls were occurring? Did
he read these? Did he see the
446
00:36:43.039 --> 00:36:45.440
video? Did he see the TikTok? Did he see YouTube? Why didn't
447
00:36:45.480 --> 00:36:51.920
YouTube or TikTok take it down?
Did the Secret Service visit these individuals who
448
00:36:51.960 --> 00:36:55.440
made these open calls? I mean, I mean, if you know that
449
00:36:55.480 --> 00:37:00.239
there's been open calls, you probably
need to contact the FBI and go,
450
00:37:00.400 --> 00:37:05.000
Hey, on Monday of that very
week, there was an open call for
451
00:37:05.079 --> 00:37:08.559
to assassinate President Trump by this source. You probably need to call contact the
452
00:37:08.599 --> 00:37:14.679
FBI and let them know, right, I mean, wouldn't wouldn't that be
453
00:37:14.760 --> 00:37:20.760
your responsibility? Hey, there's been
open calls for his assassination? Did you
454
00:37:20.840 --> 00:37:23.840
let did you see these? Did
you tell somebody? Did you inform somebody?
455
00:37:24.239 --> 00:37:28.000
Did you let did you did you
did you see it on YouTube and
456
00:37:28.039 --> 00:37:30.239
report it to YouTube? Did you
report it to Facebook? Did you report
457
00:37:30.239 --> 00:37:32.840
it? Did you report it to
the FBI? Did you contact the FBI
458
00:37:32.880 --> 00:37:37.559
and go, Hey, there's this
website, there's this guy on YouTube,
459
00:37:37.639 --> 00:37:40.559
he's calling for the open assassination of
Donald Trump. Can you look into it?
460
00:37:43.920 --> 00:37:45.679
I mean, do you have a
moral responsibility to report it? If
461
00:37:45.679 --> 00:37:50.199
you know this was happening, did
you have any responsibility? I think this
462
00:37:50.280 --> 00:37:58.159
is a These are valid questions.
We have free speech in Maerkers, supposed
463
00:37:58.199 --> 00:38:00.199
to you, but not for something
like that. We don't. You can't
464
00:38:00.480 --> 00:38:04.800
call for the death of others.
You can't. It's not right. We
465
00:38:04.840 --> 00:38:07.480
don't do it. That's a misuse
of the freedom and how it is.
466
00:38:07.519 --> 00:38:15.320
And so I don't know what we
are allowing to go on anymore now.
467
00:38:15.480 --> 00:38:20.760
Now I completely agree that we can't
do that, But like you can't,
468
00:38:20.960 --> 00:38:24.719
people can't be allowed to make calls
for killing people. I agree. So
469
00:38:24.960 --> 00:38:29.320
if you saw it, where did
you see it? What platform? Who
470
00:38:29.360 --> 00:38:34.480
was platforming it? I mean that, I mean, I really, I
471
00:38:34.480 --> 00:38:37.320
mean, I am seriously. I
want to know where these open calls were
472
00:38:37.360 --> 00:38:40.679
coming from. He said. In
the past few weeks, there have been
473
00:38:40.760 --> 00:38:46.760
open calls, open calls for the
assassination of Donald Trump. Now, I
474
00:38:46.800 --> 00:38:53.199
saw some horrible things stated after the
fact. After the fact, there was
475
00:38:53.239 --> 00:38:58.480
a TikTok that was going viral where
someone was saying it was her worst day
476
00:38:58.519 --> 00:39:02.159
in her life because Trump was not
killed. Horrible. I'm under now,
477
00:39:02.360 --> 00:39:07.199
what I saw was a report on
the on it. So my understanding is
478
00:39:07.239 --> 00:39:10.519
that had already been reported and already
been taken down. So my understanding.
479
00:39:10.880 --> 00:39:15.880
So, but I didn't go I
don't have TikTok, so I didn't,
480
00:39:15.920 --> 00:39:17.559
you know, look it up to
verify. And now I probably should have
481
00:39:17.559 --> 00:39:21.480
looked it up to verify at that
but at that point, it wasn't calling
482
00:39:21.519 --> 00:39:23.880
for someone to be killed. It
was just someone's disappointment that someone wasn't killed.
483
00:39:23.920 --> 00:39:28.679
Now you can you can judge the
morality of that versus the legality of
484
00:39:28.679 --> 00:39:34.719
that all day. But the point
is that's a massive claim. That's a
485
00:39:34.920 --> 00:39:44.199
massive, massive claim being made from
a pulpit inside a church and with no
486
00:39:44.599 --> 00:39:46.679
source being given. See this is
only This is one of the issues with
487
00:39:46.719 --> 00:39:52.239
addressing these types of things from a
Christian perspective, because we're held to a
488
00:39:52.280 --> 00:39:55.960
standard do not bear false witness,
put away lying, speak the truth.
489
00:39:57.039 --> 00:40:00.639
We have very specific guidelines and how
we are suppor to handle these issues.
490
00:40:00.679 --> 00:40:04.840
And this is what when I told
you I was going to be paying attention
491
00:40:04.840 --> 00:40:07.679
to how the church is going to
be responding to this situation. These are
492
00:40:07.719 --> 00:40:10.039
the kind of things I'm looking for, right, how are we going to
493
00:40:10.039 --> 00:40:15.239
respond? So maybe he has the
sources. I wish he would have given
494
00:40:15.280 --> 00:40:16.400
them. I wish he would have
laid them down. I wish he would
495
00:40:16.400 --> 00:40:22.639
have provided them because that would be
great, right because then we could go,
496
00:40:22.679 --> 00:40:25.960
Okay, wait a minute, so
that was out right? Is it
497
00:40:27.000 --> 00:40:30.159
still there? Did someone take it
down? Did someone report it? Did
498
00:40:30.159 --> 00:40:35.480
anybody know? Did the Secret Service
know that there was these open calls for
499
00:40:35.519 --> 00:40:39.719
assassination being that were so open that
well, even a pastor in a church
500
00:40:39.800 --> 00:40:43.719
knew that they were out there.
I mean, it had to be pretty
501
00:40:43.760 --> 00:40:46.920
well known. I'm assuming less he's
got some you know, if it's open,
502
00:40:46.960 --> 00:40:50.920
it's going to be everywhere. So
I mean, maybe I'm not saying
503
00:40:50.960 --> 00:40:52.000
they weren't there. I'm not saying
they were. I don't know. I
504
00:40:52.079 --> 00:40:58.280
have no way of verifying any of
this. Not only have they called for
505
00:40:58.360 --> 00:41:04.559
his death, they've raided his home
to the point where, wait a minute,
506
00:41:05.800 --> 00:41:10.719
not only did they call for his
death, they raided his home.
507
00:41:14.000 --> 00:41:16.719
Okay, who is the they who
called for his death? The they who
508
00:41:16.760 --> 00:41:20.639
called for his death? Are not
that they who raided his home. The
509
00:41:20.639 --> 00:41:28.440
they who rated his home was the
FBI because Trump did not turn over documents
510
00:41:28.480 --> 00:41:35.079
that he was told to turn over. So he so the they who are
511
00:41:35.119 --> 00:41:39.039
the theys? They openly called for
his assassination and his death, and they
512
00:41:39.159 --> 00:41:44.559
raided his home. Now, ladies
and gentlemen, this is how a church
513
00:41:44.679 --> 00:41:54.079
is responding to this shooting and a
church service. Who the they who rated?
514
00:41:54.360 --> 00:41:59.599
So are you now implying that that
they who raided the home had some
515
00:41:59.639 --> 00:42:07.199
connect to They called openly for his
death and they. I am perplexed by
516
00:42:07.280 --> 00:42:12.360
that transition. Now, I look, I misspeak all the time, right,
517
00:42:12.360 --> 00:42:15.119
I miss speak all the time all
the time. Right, So I
518
00:42:15.239 --> 00:42:22.079
understand standing up and not speaking clearly. But that seems like a big You're
519
00:42:22.119 --> 00:42:29.360
correlating the assassination attempt to the FBI
raiding his home because he had documents he
520
00:42:29.440 --> 00:42:36.760
was told to turn over that he
did not turn over. Now, so
521
00:42:36.800 --> 00:42:42.840
we got to represent these situations in
a correct way. Oh man, Okay,
522
00:42:42.880 --> 00:42:45.960
I'm gonna back these up. I'm
gonna back this up a little bit.
523
00:42:45.280 --> 00:42:50.639
That is such a weird transition.
Right here we go a few weeks
524
00:42:50.679 --> 00:42:53.719
there have been people out calling for
his assassination openly. We have free speech
525
00:42:53.760 --> 00:42:57.280
in America, are supposed to,
but not for something like that. We
526
00:42:57.519 --> 00:43:00.519
don't. You can't call for the
death of others. You can't. It's
527
00:43:00.559 --> 00:43:05.119
not right. We don't do it. That's that's a misuse of the freedom,
528
00:43:05.400 --> 00:43:08.519
how it is. And so and
I want to remember, I want
529
00:43:08.519 --> 00:43:15.199
to just remind people that if you
go back to the Obama administration, in
530
00:43:15.320 --> 00:43:21.960
his time as president, there was
some very strong language by many who called
531
00:43:22.000 --> 00:43:25.519
for well, let's say, many
Christians were saying that we're playing praying and
532
00:43:25.639 --> 00:43:32.800
precatory prayers in order to have Obama
removed. All right, all right,
533
00:43:34.199 --> 00:43:45.760
so hang on, hang on,
let me see if I can verify that
534
00:43:46.480 --> 00:43:51.480
I remember dealing with all of that, and I probably can find messages.
535
00:43:52.719 --> 00:44:00.519
All right, here we go.
CNN reporter confronts g OP nominee who called
536
00:44:00.559 --> 00:44:07.280
for Obama to be executed. Here's
the news story and as has the interview.
537
00:44:07.320 --> 00:44:09.320
He's kind, he's confronting the person, like you, called for Obama
538
00:44:09.360 --> 00:44:15.559
to be executed. That's right there, a conservative GOP Republican calling for Obama
539
00:44:15.639 --> 00:44:20.639
to be executed. That's only took
five seconds for uh, for me to
540
00:44:20.719 --> 00:44:30.920
find that all right, So there, so I already found one, already
541
00:44:30.920 --> 00:44:38.400
found one. All right, Uh, hang on, okay, all right,
542
00:44:38.400 --> 00:44:42.760
wait, okay, oh there's uh
there's the Washington Post, uh,
543
00:44:43.079 --> 00:44:46.840
tracking how churches were responding to the
assassination attempt on Trump. That see,
544
00:44:46.920 --> 00:44:52.119
that's interesting. All right, So
I've already found one. I could probably
545
00:44:52.159 --> 00:44:54.599
find more. But there were there
were I know, I can find sermon
546
00:44:54.840 --> 00:44:58.039
I can find I know, I
I know I covered it. I may
547
00:44:58.079 --> 00:45:01.199
even have audio before before. But
there were there were conservatives who called for
548
00:45:01.280 --> 00:45:07.639
the assassination basically the killing of Obama. So let's just make sure we this
549
00:45:07.679 --> 00:45:13.519
is not a one sided thing there. If they're anyone who's done it to
550
00:45:13.559 --> 00:45:16.079
Trump, that's wrong, and everyone
who did it to Obama that was wrong.
551
00:45:17.199 --> 00:45:22.440
And I remember some of that backlash. I remember that some of that
552
00:45:22.480 --> 00:45:24.800
because I was right in the middle
of fighting against it and I was reviewing
553
00:45:24.880 --> 00:45:30.360
sermons, going what in the world
is this. He's basically calling for Obama,
554
00:45:30.480 --> 00:45:32.599
for God to kill Obama, and
I'm like, what is happening?
555
00:45:32.840 --> 00:45:37.400
And it's an unprecatory it's an apprecatory
prayer. Well, then someone could pray,
556
00:45:37.599 --> 00:45:40.679
and a precatory prayer to have Trump
killed, and you would be okay
557
00:45:40.679 --> 00:45:49.000
with that. I mean, see, that's that so u oh boy.
558
00:45:49.039 --> 00:45:52.519
Anyone who calls for the assassination or
killing of a political leader because you disagree,
559
00:45:53.239 --> 00:45:58.000
I'm sorry, ladies and gentlemen.
That's the problem on both sides.
560
00:45:58.159 --> 00:46:02.159
But again, it took me five
seconds to find where someone called for the
561
00:46:02.159 --> 00:46:07.840
assassination of Obama. Now I'm not
saying I can't find those for Trump.
562
00:46:07.840 --> 00:46:09.719
I haven't found it yet. But
he said in the last few weeks,
563
00:46:10.159 --> 00:46:14.239
the last few weeks, they were
open, and he made it sound like
564
00:46:14.280 --> 00:46:21.679
they were plural many right. But
then this is where it gets weird.
565
00:46:22.440 --> 00:46:27.880
I don't know what we are allowing
to go on anymore. Not only have
566
00:46:27.920 --> 00:46:31.280
they called for his death, they've
raided his home to the point where they
567
00:46:31.320 --> 00:46:35.239
went through not only his things,
but they went through his wife's things.
568
00:46:35.239 --> 00:46:39.280
They went through his young son's things. And I pray for Bearing a lot,
569
00:46:39.360 --> 00:46:43.960
because his older children they understand,
they get it, you know.
570
00:46:44.000 --> 00:46:46.280
But he was a young child when
his dad was a president, and one
571
00:46:46.280 --> 00:46:50.880
of the first things that really broke
my heart for him was when he was
572
00:46:50.960 --> 00:46:54.719
Kathy Griffin had an effigy of Trump's
head and it was covered in blood and
573
00:46:54.800 --> 00:46:58.480
she was holding like she cut his
head off. And he saw that and
574
00:46:58.559 --> 00:47:00.880
his dad wasn't with him. He
thought someone had killed his dad and cut
575
00:47:00.880 --> 00:47:04.639
his head off. It's like,
should a child have to go through that
576
00:47:04.719 --> 00:47:07.440
just because his dad's president, is
that allowed in our country to do those
577
00:47:07.480 --> 00:47:12.840
things? And so they went through
his room and they did all that when
578
00:47:12.840 --> 00:47:15.400
they stormed his house down to Marlago, and I feel for him. And
579
00:47:15.440 --> 00:47:19.440
then because I remember our house being
robbed when we were children and how much
580
00:47:19.480 --> 00:47:22.239
that upset me because I remember part
of what they did is they went through
581
00:47:22.239 --> 00:47:24.840
and robbed our home as they took
my and my brother's pillow cases and had
582
00:47:24.840 --> 00:47:28.559
turned him inside out, like that's
where we kept all the family blow you
583
00:47:28.599 --> 00:47:31.800
know, and I like sleeping on
my dad's gone. They went through all
584
00:47:31.880 --> 00:47:35.239
that, and they ate our peeps
and they drank our PEPSI he was the
585
00:47:35.239 --> 00:47:37.440
little things, you know. They
took valuable things that we had, But
586
00:47:37.480 --> 00:47:39.480
it was like they violated the trust
of the comfort of my home, you
587
00:47:39.480 --> 00:47:43.199
know, by someone being in there. And I remember that bothered me for
588
00:47:43.239 --> 00:47:51.880
a long time. And so he's
comparing the FBI executing a legal order to
589
00:47:51.960 --> 00:47:55.800
go in and search for these documents, like someone breaking into your house.
590
00:47:55.840 --> 00:48:00.320
Like the whole thing here is like
I don't even understand what's going going on
591
00:48:00.480 --> 00:48:04.559
here. And but if you if
you do a search, if you do
592
00:48:04.679 --> 00:48:15.199
a search for yeah, if if
you do a search for Obama on the
593
00:48:15.199 --> 00:48:21.159
sermon's two point, oh app ladies
and gentlemen, you'll find you'll find some
594
00:48:22.119 --> 00:48:30.039
You'll find some very let's just say, bewitched Obama mark of the of the
595
00:48:30.079 --> 00:48:35.719
beast, seven years of Obama.
I mean, there there is some Obama
596
00:48:35.880 --> 00:48:43.599
isis Uh did Obama just say he's
a Muslim? I mean there is some
597
00:48:43.840 --> 00:48:49.400
crazy things on here. There's some
crazy things on here, and I'm telling
598
00:48:49.400 --> 00:48:53.960
you some of these things are probably
disturbing beyond all comprehension. And that's all
599
00:48:53.960 --> 00:48:57.119
on the sermon's two point oh app. You can just you can do a
600
00:48:57.159 --> 00:49:00.639
search for and find some of the
crazyness, because I remember back then some
601
00:49:00.679 --> 00:49:04.880
of the craziness going on. But
I don't know how he's so this is
602
00:49:04.960 --> 00:49:10.400
crazy. So the assassination, the
calls for Trump's assassination that were open,
603
00:49:12.400 --> 00:49:19.880
and then they that weird transition.
They rated his home, they his was
604
00:49:19.920 --> 00:49:23.119
that not the proper authority. I
mean Trump could have just turned over the
605
00:49:23.159 --> 00:49:29.320
documents, right could he have not
just turned over the documents or call for
606
00:49:29.880 --> 00:49:34.280
Hey, I'll turn the documents over
to a judge, and then the judge
607
00:49:34.320 --> 00:49:37.840
can can we find a way that
these can be held? If Trump really
608
00:49:37.840 --> 00:49:40.400
believed they belonged to him and they
were his, then he could have made
609
00:49:40.400 --> 00:49:43.920
it a legal argument, not just
keep a mens house, right, I
610
00:49:43.920 --> 00:49:45.159
mean, could there not have been
I mean, we could get into all
611
00:49:45.239 --> 00:49:49.559
kinds of discussions and the way that
goes down. But I mean, you
612
00:49:49.599 --> 00:49:52.760
know, if someone's like, you
have property that is not yours, return
613
00:49:52.800 --> 00:49:54.639
it, no return it? No? Well I returned it, Well I
614
00:49:54.639 --> 00:49:58.400
didn't return everything. Well, then
we're coming to get it. Well then,
615
00:49:58.480 --> 00:50:01.079
I mean, I mean, come
on, I don't know how that
616
00:50:01.079 --> 00:50:07.679
that is being viewed as like basically
like someone breaking into your house and taking
617
00:50:07.719 --> 00:50:10.840
what is not yours. But were
they not taking what belonged to the government?
618
00:50:10.960 --> 00:50:15.000
Like oh that'd because all right,
this gets this is getting interesting.
619
00:50:15.039 --> 00:50:21.960
But let's see where this goes.
Boy, sure it's bothered him to have
620
00:50:22.079 --> 00:50:24.400
your government come in and do that
to you. He's been taken to court
621
00:50:25.199 --> 00:50:29.519
He's been found guilty by rules that
have only been applied to one case in
622
00:50:29.559 --> 00:50:36.199
the history this case. They have
put false and proven false accusations against him
623
00:50:36.199 --> 00:50:39.320
again and again, and they keep
floating them. And now a shot so
624
00:50:39.519 --> 00:50:45.320
close that it went through his ear. You can't get much closer. Now
625
00:50:45.599 --> 00:50:50.480
again, he's making all these assertions
rules that have only been applied to which
626
00:50:50.719 --> 00:50:53.360
which which court case? Are you
Are you saying that those are the only
627
00:50:53.440 --> 00:50:59.199
rules ever applied to one person?
Are you saying when he was fine liable
628
00:50:59.239 --> 00:51:02.679
for sexual assaul like that's just you're
just throwing out the woman's claim, like
629
00:51:02.840 --> 00:51:07.360
that's just false. I'm not saying, you know, we can make an
630
00:51:07.440 --> 00:51:09.519
argument whether her claim was true or
false, but you would have to have
631
00:51:09.559 --> 00:51:14.239
some way of proving it's true or
false. Obviously a jury went along way
632
00:51:14.280 --> 00:51:15.960
and everyone can I mean, look, where is it. Why isn't any
633
00:51:16.039 --> 00:51:21.559
of this being spoken of in church? This is all not You're making accusations.
634
00:51:21.719 --> 00:51:24.000
And when you say these accusations are
false, you're calling the people who
635
00:51:24.000 --> 00:51:28.480
made the accusations liars. Well,
who are you calling a liar? The
636
00:51:28.519 --> 00:51:31.159
woman who says she was sexually assaulted? Are you saying the porn star who
637
00:51:31.159 --> 00:51:37.039
claims she had sex with Donald Trump
is lying. Well, now, if
638
00:51:37.079 --> 00:51:39.559
you're making an accusation that they were
lying, you've got to go prove that
639
00:51:39.599 --> 00:51:43.480
they were lying. And if you
can't prove it, you're bearing false witness,
640
00:51:43.519 --> 00:51:46.880
which is literally what violation of the
actual law of God. From the
641
00:51:46.880 --> 00:52:01.159
pulpit like this, we can't respond
to the shoev with just now making wild
642
00:52:01.239 --> 00:52:07.559
accusations against everyone, just making wild, wild accusations against the FBI, wild
643
00:52:07.599 --> 00:52:13.960
accusations against people who made accusations against
trust. We just we just can't do
644
00:52:14.039 --> 00:52:19.519
this. This is not the way
the church is to respond. You can
645
00:52:19.599 --> 00:52:24.119
take each individual case and if you've
got evidence that these accusations were false,
646
00:52:24.360 --> 00:52:30.239
please get all out of the pulpit
and go to your Go find an attorney,
647
00:52:30.400 --> 00:52:34.400
Go find a judge, Go give
them your evidence that the accusations are
648
00:52:34.400 --> 00:52:37.079
false. How do you know they
were false? He's found guilty, but
649
00:52:37.159 --> 00:52:50.840
you know that the accusation was false
based off what did God tell you.
650
00:52:50.880 --> 00:52:54.559
See, this is why on the
first night I was so discouraged, I
651
00:52:54.719 --> 00:53:00.519
was so despondent because I was afraid
that this is going to turn into this
652
00:53:01.280 --> 00:53:07.800
that the church is not going to
respond like the Bible. We're gonna respond
653
00:53:07.360 --> 00:53:16.280
like we're Fox News again. If
you've got evidence that the accusations made against
654
00:53:16.280 --> 00:53:24.639
false Donald Trump were false, then
go prove it. Please help the man
655
00:53:24.719 --> 00:53:30.199
out who was found liable for sexual
assault, who was found liable for defamation,
656
00:53:31.039 --> 00:53:36.000
Get him off to help him,
help the help them overturn, overturn
657
00:53:36.039 --> 00:53:39.400
the court case. Go prove it. Don't be behind a pulpit telling everyone
658
00:53:39.400 --> 00:53:46.480
it was false. Go demonstrate it. And if you've got proof that the
659
00:53:46.559 --> 00:53:51.519
rules were only applied to Donald Trump
and the only time in history, will
660
00:53:51.559 --> 00:53:54.519
then demonstrate it. I mean you've
you've read all the I mean, do
661
00:53:54.559 --> 00:53:59.119
you understand when you get into legality
and court cases, you would have to
662
00:53:59.119 --> 00:54:00.360
be going through all all the legal
briefs. You would have to go,
663
00:54:00.360 --> 00:54:04.039
Okay, there were this case so
and so versus so and so. Do
664
00:54:04.079 --> 00:54:08.159
you realize that lawyers have to have
people hired to go research all of these
665
00:54:08.159 --> 00:54:13.320
things to bring up all of the
case history. Do you under like you
666
00:54:13.360 --> 00:54:15.920
can't just get behind a pulpit and
just make that Where did you hear that?
667
00:54:15.960 --> 00:54:17.519
Where did you get Where's your source
that that's true? Is it from
668
00:54:17.519 --> 00:54:23.840
a legal scholar or from Fox News
Newsmax Alex Jones, where where there's no
669
00:54:24.000 --> 00:54:30.440
sourcing anything. He's just making all
of these dogmatic assertions and light of a
670
00:54:30.480 --> 00:54:35.239
shooting. Well, all this does
is create animosity and anger in the people
671
00:54:35.280 --> 00:54:39.320
in the pulpit that everyone's out to
get Donald Trump and we've got to defend
672
00:54:39.400 --> 00:54:43.440
him. Who wha, whoa,
whoa. How about we slow down and
673
00:54:43.480 --> 00:54:47.719
we let every and we handle each
specific issue that you have brought up in
674
00:54:47.800 --> 00:54:53.199
a careful, concise way. And
if we can prove that something is not
675
00:54:53.360 --> 00:54:59.280
fair or accurate or right, then
let's do so. And if we can't,
676
00:55:00.519 --> 00:55:09.400
then maybe we shouldn't say so.
With a fatal shot there and one
677
00:55:09.400 --> 00:55:13.079
of the most shocking things as you
hear this, you're like, how how
678
00:55:13.119 --> 00:55:17.239
an American? Why? But on
X the trends from his opponents today were,
679
00:55:17.760 --> 00:55:25.079
how do you miss Really we don't
have enough empathy for our fellow man
680
00:55:25.679 --> 00:55:34.159
that your thing is, oh you
missed him. That's sick. I absolutely
681
00:55:34.199 --> 00:55:37.280
believe it's sick. I am complete
agreement with you. We are in agreement,
682
00:55:37.440 --> 00:55:42.960
and it's sick when people say things
about Obama or about his wife,
683
00:55:43.320 --> 00:55:49.360
things were sick when they said things
about Hillary or things were sick, when
684
00:55:49.400 --> 00:55:54.599
people under you know, played down
and try to disregard the seriousness of what
685
00:55:54.679 --> 00:56:00.880
happened on January the sixth at the
Capitol Building. So yeah, but that's
686
00:56:00.880 --> 00:56:07.920
why politics left and right is a
discussing cesspool that Christians should have nothing to
687
00:56:07.960 --> 00:56:13.320
do with because all it is is
misinformation, false information, accusatory information.
688
00:56:13.559 --> 00:56:15.119
And we are to rise above that
and say no, no, no,
689
00:56:15.119 --> 00:56:17.719
no, no, no, no, y'all play in the cesspool. We're
690
00:56:17.760 --> 00:56:22.559
staying out of it because our focus
is on truth and Christ and and and
691
00:56:22.719 --> 00:56:28.320
salvation, and that's what we are
to do. But I agree that if
692
00:56:28.360 --> 00:56:35.159
that was trending on X, that's
that's really disturbing. I agree that.
693
00:56:35.320 --> 00:56:38.960
I agree. Now I would like
to know when it was that. Was
694
00:56:39.000 --> 00:56:45.159
that a trending hashtag? I hadn't
seen that that was a trending hashtag.
695
00:56:45.199 --> 00:56:47.280
If it was, that is that
is a problem. It may have been.
696
00:56:47.320 --> 00:56:51.320
I'm not saying it was, not
saying it wasn't, but I had
697
00:56:51.400 --> 00:56:53.320
I had not seen or heard a
report that that was a trending topic.
698
00:56:54.159 --> 00:57:02.599
But it is troubling. Minute that's
evil if you look at me to Isaiah
699
00:57:02.679 --> 00:57:17.320
five, mark your spot insculations.
We'll get there. Isaiah five. We
700
00:57:17.360 --> 00:57:24.400
often quote this, but I wanted
you to see it today as we live
701
00:57:24.400 --> 00:57:32.800
it. Isaiah five, verse twenty. Sorry, Isaiah five twenty says,
702
00:57:32.800 --> 00:57:38.079
whoa, this is a woe.
This is like in revelation. There's woes.
703
00:57:38.119 --> 00:57:40.119
There's not too many woes in the
Bible. But this is like,
704
00:57:40.679 --> 00:57:44.559
man, it's bad on you.
If you have a woe pronounced from God,
705
00:57:44.559 --> 00:57:49.519
and God's man on you, woe
unto them that call evil good and
706
00:57:49.599 --> 00:57:55.199
good evil, They that put darkness
for light and light for darkness, and
707
00:57:55.239 --> 00:58:02.159
the I'm gonna interrupt his reading of
Isaiah five, and I would just like
708
00:58:02.239 --> 00:58:07.840
you to hear this. And the
context of President Obama, there were instances
709
00:58:07.840 --> 00:58:15.719
where individuals publicly expressed and precatory prayers
against him. For instance, Wiley Drake,
710
00:58:15.760 --> 00:58:19.800
a former Southern Baptist Convention officer,
stated that he was praying in precatory
711
00:58:19.800 --> 00:58:22.639
prayer against President Obama. Drake believed
that these prayers aligned with God's will,
712
00:58:22.760 --> 00:58:25.440
and we're a way of agreeing with
God's judgment. However, it is crucial
713
00:58:25.480 --> 00:58:31.320
to recognize that this perspective is not
universally accepted among Christians. And then there's
714
00:58:31.360 --> 00:58:37.760
a number of news sources here about
this, Baptistnews dot com, beliefnet dot
715
00:58:37.800 --> 00:58:42.480
com, at Liganeer dot org.
So some of these are actually Christian sites
716
00:58:42.920 --> 00:58:46.960
showing that there were at least cases
where preachers and pastors were praying and precatory
717
00:58:46.960 --> 00:58:52.239
prayers for God basically to have Obama
killed or to kill him so or to
718
00:58:52.320 --> 00:58:57.199
destroy him. So that was.
So I just want to make sure that
719
00:58:57.239 --> 00:59:01.480
we understand, Hey, hey,
this was This's what's happening within Christianity.
720
00:59:01.599 --> 00:59:06.599
I remember it because I remember being
shocked by it, and I remember a
721
00:59:06.639 --> 00:59:10.880
lot of it being discussed all over
mainstream media and the news. So let's
722
00:59:10.920 --> 00:59:16.000
just make sure this stuff happens.
And it's wrong on both sides. It's
723
00:59:16.039 --> 00:59:22.320
wrong on both sides. But he's
reading Isaiah five, all right. Verse
724
00:59:22.400 --> 00:59:25.519
twenty, I believe, is where
he started. Let me catch us up.
725
00:59:27.360 --> 00:59:30.000
Woe to those who call evil good
and good evil, who put darkness
726
00:59:30.000 --> 00:59:34.559
for light and light for darkness,
who put bitter for sweet and sweet for
727
00:59:34.599 --> 00:59:37.519
bitter. Now let me make it
very clear. You know what is also
728
00:59:37.679 --> 00:59:42.920
bad is when we stand behind the
pulpit and while we are addressing evil,
729
00:59:43.360 --> 00:59:47.920
we engage in literally breaking the law
of God by bearing false witness, making
730
00:59:49.039 --> 00:59:54.320
accusations with no proof, or possibly
sharing fraudulent information, which is just right
731
00:59:54.400 --> 01:00:01.719
out a lie that is evil.
While addressing evil, or at least you
732
01:00:01.760 --> 01:00:06.679
could call it if you don't like
the word evil, it's clearly a violation
733
01:00:06.800 --> 01:00:12.599
of God's law, which would make
it sinful. But bitter for sweet and
734
01:00:12.679 --> 01:00:17.199
sweet for bitter, well would to
them that cast confusion is the way He's
735
01:00:17.239 --> 01:00:21.239
saying, those who take what God
has set up as good and then you
736
01:00:21.280 --> 01:00:22.960
make it evil, and take that
what God has said was evil and you
737
01:00:23.039 --> 01:00:29.320
make it good. That describes our
day, that describes our times. I
738
01:00:29.360 --> 01:00:32.480
can't believe still that in America one
of the main platforms is how we can
739
01:00:32.559 --> 01:00:42.440
kill babies. And the scariest thing
is that we still have four months until
740
01:00:42.440 --> 01:00:47.079
the election. I fear that the
evil is not over, but it's just
741
01:00:47.159 --> 01:00:52.760
beginning. And so I guess part
of my call is I love for you
742
01:00:52.679 --> 01:00:57.639
to be awake and be aware and
be prepared. Look at Sick and Timothy,
743
01:01:01.159 --> 01:01:07.559
because God's people always have a heads
up and a head start, because
744
01:01:07.599 --> 01:01:12.920
we are prepared people for a prepared
place and so we should live a prepared
745
01:01:12.960 --> 01:01:15.159
life in the sense that we are
ready, that we are not easily shaken,
746
01:01:15.199 --> 01:01:19.039
that we are not thrown off course
by the things that are going on.
747
01:01:19.079 --> 01:01:21.400
That we know who our God is, we know what our God does,
748
01:01:21.599 --> 01:01:22.679
and we know how we're to behave. And so I'm just kind of
749
01:01:22.679 --> 01:01:28.119
giving us a recalibration here. So
tewod Timothy chapter three, verse one says
750
01:01:28.360 --> 01:01:30.199
this, know that in the last
days, perilous time shall come. It's
751
01:01:30.199 --> 01:01:34.639
going to get dangerous. And if
we're in the last days, which I
752
01:01:34.800 --> 01:01:44.840
told you on Wednesday night we were
talking about Peter's sermon ladies and gentlemen for
753
01:01:45.000 --> 01:01:52.800
the one millionth time, two Timothy
three is referencing what is going to be
754
01:01:52.840 --> 01:01:59.360
going on inside the church. Let
me demonstrate but know this that in the
755
01:01:59.440 --> 01:02:02.079
last day, perilous times will come, for men will be lovers of themselves.
756
01:02:04.000 --> 01:02:07.800
Ladies and gentlemen. That can't be
describing the last days as far as
757
01:02:07.840 --> 01:02:08.920
in the world. All of a
sudden, men are going to be lovers
758
01:02:08.960 --> 01:02:15.119
of themselves. Men have been lovers
of themselves since the fall. That's always
759
01:02:15.159 --> 01:02:19.000
been true, all right, They're
going to be lovers of money, that's
760
01:02:19.079 --> 01:02:23.840
always been true. Boasters, always
true, proud, always true, blasphemers.
761
01:02:24.000 --> 01:02:28.880
Well, people outside the church have
always been blasphemers, disobedient to parents,
762
01:02:29.159 --> 01:02:34.960
unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slender, without self control,
763
01:02:35.159 --> 01:02:39.280
brutal despisers of good traders, headstrong, haughtie, lovers of pleasure rather than
764
01:02:39.320 --> 01:02:44.079
lovers of God, lovers of pleasure
rather than lovers of God. Clearly,
765
01:02:44.119 --> 01:02:46.840
that's not describing the last days,
because that's always been true in the world.
766
01:02:47.199 --> 01:02:52.119
Ladies and gentlemen, this is Paul
telling Timothy what will come to the
767
01:02:52.360 --> 01:02:55.679
church. This will be what the
church is in the last days. You're
768
01:02:55.679 --> 01:02:59.239
gonna look up at the church,
and the church is going to be filled
769
01:02:59.280 --> 01:03:04.599
with people who are men who love
themselves, they love money. They're boasters,
770
01:03:04.599 --> 01:03:07.599
they're proud, they're blasphemers, they're
disobedient to parents. They're unthankful,
771
01:03:07.599 --> 01:03:09.800
they're unholy, the unloving, they're
unforgiving, they're slanderous, they're without self
772
01:03:09.800 --> 01:03:14.639
control, brutal despises of good traders, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure
773
01:03:14.719 --> 01:03:17.719
rather than lovers of God. They
have a form of Godliness but deny its
774
01:03:17.800 --> 01:03:22.480
power. It's going to be the
church. This is describing the church.
775
01:03:22.800 --> 01:03:27.239
This is not describing the world.
This is what the church is gonna look
776
01:03:27.320 --> 01:03:30.199
like when you get to the last
days, as you put it, or
777
01:03:30.280 --> 01:03:35.519
in the last days, when we
get to the perilous times, it's gonna
778
01:03:35.559 --> 01:03:37.800
be You're gonna look at your church. You're gonna be like, what in
779
01:03:37.840 --> 01:03:40.559
the world is going on in the
church? The church is just going to
780
01:03:40.599 --> 01:03:50.119
be open, just complete craziness,
not the world. That would describe the
781
01:03:50.159 --> 01:03:53.400
world in every age, and in
some ways it describes all of us in
782
01:03:53.440 --> 01:03:57.239
every age, because that's true inside
of us. But this is gonna be
783
01:03:57.320 --> 01:04:02.199
just open outward anarchy. They're gonna
have a form of godliness, though,
784
01:04:02.280 --> 01:04:06.719
but they're gonna deny. They're just
gonna live in open, complete rebellion without
785
01:04:06.760 --> 01:04:12.000
any concern. That's what it's describing. It's not describing the world. That's
786
01:04:12.039 --> 01:04:18.239
describing the church. And he declares
from the Book of Joel that at the
787
01:04:18.320 --> 01:04:23.000
outpoint of the Holy Spirit that came
upon them like tongues of fire, that
788
01:04:23.039 --> 01:04:26.880
they verified it by speaking out and
people heard in different languages. He says,
789
01:04:27.239 --> 01:04:30.000
this is the fulfillment of that that
shows that we are in the last
790
01:04:30.079 --> 01:04:33.039
days that is the kickoff to the
Last days. I think we're still in
791
01:04:33.079 --> 01:04:38.480
the days of Pentecost, and many
do because Pentecost was the day of harvest.
792
01:04:38.480 --> 01:04:41.800
We are in the harvest, and
there'll be a day when God has
793
01:04:41.800 --> 01:04:44.119
it all mapped out on how the
harvest is the work. There's the first
794
01:04:44.159 --> 01:04:46.920
fruit that was Jesus Christ, and
he actually was the first fruit. On
795
01:04:46.960 --> 01:04:50.000
the day of first Fruits, he
presents himself as the first fruit. And
796
01:04:50.039 --> 01:04:54.840
then God says he will then give
the harvest. The harvest is the church.
797
01:04:54.960 --> 01:04:58.400
He's now bringing us in, bringing
the wondering ones of Jesus. We
798
01:04:58.440 --> 01:05:00.159
sing about it, and then it
ends with an end gathering that after the
799
01:05:00.199 --> 01:05:03.599
main harvest happens, which is the
harpadzo or the rapture or the taking away
800
01:05:03.599 --> 01:05:06.440
of the Church. There's a seven
year tribulation where it's like the Book of
801
01:05:06.480 --> 01:05:11.119
Bruce where they glean the corners,
and it is a time where it says
802
01:05:11.159 --> 01:05:15.920
that as many as the sands of
the sea gets saved from every tongue tribe
803
01:05:15.920 --> 01:05:19.400
in nation. And so there's going
to be a great soul harvest during the
804
01:05:19.400 --> 01:05:24.320
tribulation. But we are in this
last days, nearing the last part of
805
01:05:24.360 --> 01:05:27.079
the church, which would be the
end of that. So we are in
806
01:05:27.119 --> 01:05:30.719
some perilous times. I think we
see that in Liko verse thirteen, same
807
01:05:30.800 --> 01:05:35.920
chapter Siga Timothy three thirteen. But
evil men and seducers shall wax worse and
808
01:05:36.000 --> 01:05:41.119
worse deceiving and being deceived. It
says that they are going to use deception.
809
01:05:42.239 --> 01:05:45.199
We live in a day the fake
news, cheap fakes is the this
810
01:05:45.239 --> 01:05:47.800
is the White House supposed to call
and others, and then you find out
811
01:05:47.800 --> 01:05:50.199
that they're not cheap fakes, that
they're real, but they didn't. So
812
01:05:50.239 --> 01:05:53.960
we have all this that's going on. But we have the time of deception
813
01:05:54.039 --> 01:05:56.760
where we went to watch and test
well even though our eyes are seen,
814
01:05:57.039 --> 01:05:59.519
and so we need to walk closer
to the Lord, closer to his state,
815
01:05:59.559 --> 01:06:01.599
they'd close to the truth, so
that the lie would be exposed to
816
01:06:01.679 --> 01:06:04.000
us, and so we got to
watch where we feed on. We got
817
01:06:06.760 --> 01:06:12.039
And it interesting that sometimes in sermons
who we can say things that are utterly
818
01:06:12.079 --> 01:06:17.000
completely false, completely misleading, possibly
just full blowne deception, but we're always
819
01:06:17.039 --> 01:06:19.719
telling us that we got to watch
out for the world and all of its
820
01:06:19.760 --> 01:06:25.719
deception. I'm more worried about the
half truths, mistruths, misinformation, disinformation,
821
01:06:26.000 --> 01:06:32.760
false acquisitions that happened from Pulpits not
what happens in the world. Watch
822
01:06:32.760 --> 01:06:38.920
what we're taking in the Bible maps
out our times as birth pains. He's
823
01:06:38.960 --> 01:06:41.800
like, hey, there's gonna be
a bad time for a while, and
824
01:06:41.800 --> 01:06:45.599
then it'll be a time of calm. Think about the in stage of pregnancy.
825
01:06:45.639 --> 01:06:47.119
That's how it is, right,
it's getting close. That might be
826
01:06:47.119 --> 01:06:49.400
today when it's your first one.
You're like, here it is, you
827
01:06:49.440 --> 01:06:51.280
got it all packed and you're ready. But then it's like, uh,
828
01:06:51.400 --> 01:06:55.159
false contraction. You might even gone
to the hospital and they're like, it's
829
01:06:55.199 --> 01:06:58.360
gonna be a while yet. Then
you wait a little while and you just
830
01:06:58.400 --> 01:07:00.840
get a little bit more comfortable,
and the other one comes in here,
831
01:07:00.880 --> 01:07:02.360
and then it's a little bit harder, a little more severe, but then
832
01:07:02.400 --> 01:07:05.440
it backs off. That's what Jesus
says, with the last days will be
833
01:07:05.480 --> 01:07:09.639
like a time of birth pains.
Well be contractions will be hard. There'd
834
01:07:09.679 --> 01:07:13.239
be a time of calm and people
go back to normal and they'll forget what
835
01:07:13.280 --> 01:07:15.360
it was like. But it gets
a little worse, and the little pause
836
01:07:15.440 --> 01:07:18.440
a little worse, a little pause
a little worse until the point that brings
837
01:07:18.440 --> 01:07:26.079
to tribulation. Here's what we can
do. Look at verse fourteen. But
838
01:07:26.159 --> 01:07:30.119
continue, thou and the things which
thou hast learned and hast been assured of,
839
01:07:30.000 --> 01:07:33.679
knowing of whom that you have learned
them. We are not to be
840
01:07:33.719 --> 01:07:39.199
easily shaken. We're to be continue
in the things that we have learned.
841
01:07:41.599 --> 01:07:45.679
We know. Now I will stop
there, and I will say a hearty
842
01:07:45.800 --> 01:07:50.159
amen. We are to continue and
those things that we've learned right here scripture.
843
01:07:50.159 --> 01:07:54.000
We are to continue in the scriptures. We are to continue to conduct
844
01:07:54.039 --> 01:07:58.320
ourselves, not in accordance with a
political party, not in accordance with the
845
01:07:58.360 --> 01:08:02.719
cultural ideas. We are to conduct
ourselves in light of scripture and show what
846
01:08:02.760 --> 01:08:06.079
should we do. We should love
our enemies. We should turn the other
847
01:08:06.159 --> 01:08:11.280
cheek. We should resist not evil. We should overcome evil with good.
848
01:08:11.320 --> 01:08:14.440
We should not be overcome by evil, but we should overcome evil with good.
849
01:08:14.800 --> 01:08:17.600
We should speak the truth and love, put away lying, bear not
850
01:08:17.800 --> 01:08:21.640
false witness. We should be accurate. We should be careful with what we
851
01:08:21.680 --> 01:08:26.399
say. We should be thoughtful.
We should be logical. We should do
852
01:08:27.319 --> 01:08:30.359
adequate research. We should not be
making claims that are not true. We
853
01:08:30.399 --> 01:08:35.239
should not be making accusations that are
not true. We should conduct ourselves the
854
01:08:35.279 --> 01:08:38.840
best of our ability in scripture,
are we going to do it right?
855
01:08:38.920 --> 01:08:42.439
No? Are we going to fall
short? Absolutely, but we acknowledge where
856
01:08:42.439 --> 01:08:45.399
we fall short, and we get
back up and we try. This is
857
01:08:45.439 --> 01:08:53.079
what we must do, and this
during this time. Now you can go
858
01:08:53.159 --> 01:08:58.840
listen to the rest of that.
As an assassination attempt slash Grace didn't really
859
01:08:58.840 --> 01:09:02.479
say much about Grace. Didn't really
say much about Grace. Now, maybe
860
01:09:02.520 --> 01:09:05.479
what he's going to do is,
I think this is really his title is
861
01:09:05.520 --> 01:09:10.840
assassination attempt slash Grace because the Grace
parties are in the Book of Galatians.
862
01:09:10.960 --> 01:09:14.520
So I'm assuming then he's going to
then stop this and transition and go back
863
01:09:14.520 --> 01:09:17.119
to the Book of Galatians. So
it's really two messages, and one instead
864
01:09:17.119 --> 01:09:20.920
of just doing the assassination attempt ending
the audio say all right, save that
865
01:09:21.000 --> 01:09:25.520
file. Now let's start a new
recording that that's what you probably should have
866
01:09:25.560 --> 01:09:28.439
done, and then you have both
of them separate. But okay, so
867
01:09:28.560 --> 01:09:32.399
that's what he attempted to do.
But that is another response to the shooting
868
01:09:33.079 --> 01:09:39.880
of Donald J. Trump. And
that is now that's on the sermon's two
869
01:09:39.880 --> 01:09:43.279
point. Oh app and I challenge
you to continue to look and see how
870
01:09:43.359 --> 01:09:46.199
Christians are responding. Again, I
just saw I was at the Washington Post
871
01:09:47.119 --> 01:09:53.079
when we were doing when I was
doing research about other things. Where was
872
01:09:53.119 --> 01:09:55.119
it? Did I save it in
my notes? Let me see here if
873
01:09:55.119 --> 01:10:04.039
I saved it? Okay here?
Uh oh wait no, oh, I
874
01:10:04.079 --> 01:10:08.720
gotta to get access. I have
to so yeah, that's not going to
875
01:10:08.760 --> 01:10:11.279
be helpful. All right, Yeah, I gotta find it. Maybe it
876
01:10:11.319 --> 01:10:15.520
was the Washington Post that they were
talking about how churches have responded to this.
877
01:10:15.800 --> 01:10:19.720
So the world's monitoring our response.
The world is monitoring the response of
878
01:10:19.800 --> 01:10:25.319
Christians to the shooting. So I'm
not the only one monitoring it. Church
879
01:10:25.439 --> 01:10:28.199
there, the world's going to monitor. And what are they going to hear?
880
01:10:28.840 --> 01:10:31.840
Are they going to hear a biblical
scriptural response? Are they going to
881
01:10:31.880 --> 01:10:36.079
hear something other? Are they going
to hear something other? Are they going
882
01:10:36.119 --> 01:10:40.920
to hear us say things that may
not even be accurate or true from the
883
01:10:40.960 --> 01:10:45.319
pulpit? See if the world it's
like You're like, well, it's an
884
01:10:45.319 --> 01:10:48.720
assassination attempt. Even though the mainstream
media won't call it that. Well,
885
01:10:49.159 --> 01:10:54.000
I got how many different things to
prove that that's just literally not true.
886
01:10:54.079 --> 01:10:56.479
When the world hears that, they're
going to be like, oh, these
887
01:10:56.600 --> 01:11:00.359
Christians, they can't even get their
fact straight. Understand, we can always
888
01:11:00.399 --> 01:11:05.319
mess up. Nobody is going to
be perfect in public speaking, nobody.
889
01:11:05.800 --> 01:11:10.119
So all we can do is correct
it. So I mean, obviously they
890
01:11:10.159 --> 01:11:12.720
can turn on a microphone and correct
it in five point two seconds, right,
891
01:11:12.760 --> 01:11:16.600
it'd be easy to correct it.
Can add audio to the beginning of
892
01:11:16.640 --> 01:11:19.359
it. Hey, and what you're
about to hear is what I stated on
893
01:11:19.479 --> 01:11:24.479
Sunday. In this I make the
following claims. And these claims are not
894
01:11:24.600 --> 01:11:27.920
verified or not true, or not
accurate, or I have no proof of
895
01:11:27.960 --> 01:11:31.199
the veracity of these claims. These
are on my own personal opinions, and
896
01:11:31.359 --> 01:11:33.840
you have to take them as an
opinion, not as statements of fact.
897
01:11:34.239 --> 01:11:45.119
You could just offer something along those
lines. I don't know where it's going.
898
01:11:45.279 --> 01:11:47.520
I have a bad feeling. I
just have a bad feeling. I'm
899
01:11:47.600 --> 01:11:54.159
hoping. I'm trying to be optimistic. So what we have so far is
900
01:11:54.199 --> 01:12:00.359
this is kind of what we've witnessed
a lot of discussion about providence and the
901
01:12:00.399 --> 01:12:05.840
decrees of God basically intervening to protect
Donald Trump. Nobody wants to mention the
902
01:12:05.920 --> 01:12:11.399
name of the man who was shot
and killed, because well, then you
903
01:12:11.399 --> 01:12:14.920
would have to argue God's decrees and
Providence called for that man to die,
904
01:12:15.199 --> 01:12:17.159
and that's going to be Nobody wants
to talk about that in church because that
905
01:12:17.199 --> 01:12:25.439
makes everyone uncomfortable. And then what
we're getting is a lot of accusations and
906
01:12:25.520 --> 01:12:30.840
claims that don't even really seem to
make any sense, Like they called for
907
01:12:30.920 --> 01:12:35.199
his assassination, and they you would
think that that. They then would refer
908
01:12:35.239 --> 01:12:42.079
to the previous they raided his home
as if someone was breaking in and doing
909
01:12:42.119 --> 01:12:45.039
an illegal thing. There was nothing
like unless you can, if you can
910
01:12:45.079 --> 01:12:48.840
prove that was illegal, then take
them to court and then say that everyone
911
01:12:48.840 --> 01:12:54.640
who's made an accusation against Donald Trump, they have all been false accusations,
912
01:12:54.720 --> 01:12:59.680
even though there's so much there that
we can't go down that path. And
913
01:12:59.680 --> 01:13:02.000
we've all also seeing our response that
says, hey, no longer have anything
914
01:13:02.039 --> 01:13:08.359
to do with liberals. We've got
some really messy responses so far. We've
915
01:13:08.359 --> 01:13:11.760
got some really messy ones. Mine
have been messy, all right, because
916
01:13:11.840 --> 01:13:15.399
probably all of us are trying to
figure it out, but I want you
917
01:13:15.439 --> 01:13:21.800
to keep monitoring them, keep thinking
because these have philological implications, biblical implications,
918
01:13:23.039 --> 01:13:26.560
and it kind of shows us where
the church is, how the church
919
01:13:26.640 --> 01:13:30.199
is thinking, and then you can
extrapolate from that. If the church is
920
01:13:30.239 --> 01:13:33.279
thinking and acting this way, now, what is it going to look like
921
01:13:35.079 --> 01:13:40.000
four months from now? What is
it going to look like a year from
922
01:13:40.079 --> 01:13:45.159
now? You can email me news
F at yahoo dot com. That's news
923
01:13:45.359 --> 01:13:50.000
i F at yahoo dot com.
Thanks for listening, everyone, Have a
924
01:13:50.000 --> 01:13:57.640
great day. Pay close attention to
what's going on in the church. Eyes
925
01:13:57.720 --> 01:14:02.159
open, listen, careful, think
deeply. God bless
