A review of a sermon on Genesis 26

WEBVTT

1
00:00:02.240 --> 00:00:05.960
Looking at our world from a theological perspective. This is

2
00:00:06.000 --> 00:00:09.839
the Theology Central podcast making Theology Central.

3
00:00:11.720 --> 00:00:12.960
Good morning everyone.

4
00:00:13.199 --> 00:00:18.160
It is Monday, January thirteenth, twenty twenty five. It is

5
00:00:18.320 --> 00:00:22.160
currently ten thirty four am Central Time, and I am

6
00:00:22.199 --> 00:00:26.199
coming to you live from the Theology Central studio located

7
00:00:26.280 --> 00:00:29.480
right here in Abilene, Texas.

8
00:00:30.559 --> 00:00:32.640
Well, what we are about.

9
00:00:32.240 --> 00:00:38.000
To do should be extremely interesting. I'm somewhat excited to

10
00:00:38.039 --> 00:00:40.759
see how this plays out, because what we are going

11
00:00:40.799 --> 00:00:46.679
to do is we really have artificial intelligence making a

12
00:00:46.840 --> 00:00:52.200
prediction about how a sermon is going to go, how

13
00:00:52.240 --> 00:00:56.640
a sermon is going to handle the text, how the

14
00:00:56.799 --> 00:01:00.399
sermon is going to put forth its ideas. And AI

15
00:01:00.560 --> 00:01:03.759
is making this prediction without analyzing the sermon. All I

16
00:01:03.799 --> 00:01:07.760
did was give AI the title of a sermon and

17
00:01:07.840 --> 00:01:11.319
the text, and then AI just went crazy and it

18
00:01:11.359 --> 00:01:12.719
was like, you need to watch out for this, and

19
00:01:12.760 --> 00:01:14.200
you need to watch out for this, and you need

20
00:01:14.239 --> 00:01:16.079
to look out for this because this could go this

21
00:01:16.120 --> 00:01:18.280
way and this could be this and just made all

22
00:01:18.400 --> 00:01:20.959
these predictions and I was like, whoa this is. I've

23
00:01:21.000 --> 00:01:24.120
never really had AI go here's the title of a sermon,

24
00:01:24.480 --> 00:01:26.879
here's the text. What do you think it's going to

25
00:01:26.879 --> 00:01:30.480
do incorrectly, what do you think it's going to do?

26
00:01:30.519 --> 00:01:34.879
And an AI's like, whoa that title? That text. Basically,

27
00:01:34.920 --> 00:01:36.280
AI was like, that.

28
00:01:36.280 --> 00:01:40.280
Sermon has the potential of being an absolute mess. So

29
00:01:40.599 --> 00:01:46.879
I'm interested to see how correct AI's prediction is or

30
00:01:46.920 --> 00:01:49.640
how incorrect it is. Now I'm not expecting it to be.

31
00:01:51.439 --> 00:01:54.480
And well, I take it back. I'm kind of conflicted here.

32
00:01:56.840 --> 00:01:59.079
On one hand, I would think AI is going.

33
00:01:59.000 --> 00:02:00.760
To get this way way wrong.

34
00:02:00.920 --> 00:02:02.799
Right, there's a part, but there's another part of me

35
00:02:03.000 --> 00:02:05.000
that when I look at the title of this sermon

36
00:02:05.480 --> 00:02:09.240
and I look at the text, I'm thinking it's going

37
00:02:09.280 --> 00:02:11.039
to be a complete train wreck as well.

38
00:02:11.080 --> 00:02:12.800
But let me tell you how we got there.

39
00:02:12.840 --> 00:02:15.759
So I had some things to do around the house,

40
00:02:15.800 --> 00:02:17.719
and I was going here, doing this and doing that.

41
00:02:17.919 --> 00:02:19.719
So I was carrying my iPad with me.

42
00:02:20.800 --> 00:02:22.800
And I was just like, you know, while I'm doing

43
00:02:22.840 --> 00:02:24.560
these things, I'll just go to the sermon's two point

44
00:02:24.639 --> 00:02:27.479
oh app and just start listening to some random sermons.

45
00:02:28.080 --> 00:02:28.240
Right.

46
00:02:28.280 --> 00:02:31.400
So I was just looking and I found one sermon

47
00:02:31.639 --> 00:02:35.680
entitled ye must and based on John chapter three, Ye

48
00:02:35.800 --> 00:02:40.039
must be Born Again? And the pastor was making this

49
00:02:40.159 --> 00:02:44.199
point that Nicodemus was. This from a human perspective, this

50
00:02:44.400 --> 00:02:47.360
righteous man, this man that was, would have been appeared

51
00:02:47.400 --> 00:02:50.800
to have been godly, trying to keep the law, trying

52
00:02:50.840 --> 00:02:52.479
to do all of these right things. He would have

53
00:02:52.479 --> 00:02:55.520
been moral, he would have been an upstanding person in

54
00:02:55.560 --> 00:02:56.360
his community.

55
00:02:56.439 --> 00:02:58.080
He would have been considered.

56
00:02:57.639 --> 00:03:01.439
A good man. Yet, ye, he must be born again.

57
00:03:01.599 --> 00:03:03.360
He needed to be born again.

58
00:03:04.479 --> 00:03:05.120
And so I was.

59
00:03:05.159 --> 00:03:06.879
Listening to that, and then I stopped, and I'm like, well,

60
00:03:06.919 --> 00:03:11.120
wait a minute, this is interesting, right, because within the

61
00:03:11.719 --> 00:03:16.319
non Catholic Protestant world, we kind of have a logical fallacy,

62
00:03:16.360 --> 00:03:20.199
a contradictory message that often gets preached. When we're in

63
00:03:20.319 --> 00:03:22.879
John three, we're like, you can be a righteous man,

64
00:03:23.039 --> 00:03:25.240
you can be a man that is moral, you can.

65
00:03:25.120 --> 00:03:25.960
Be a good man.

66
00:03:26.120 --> 00:03:29.879
Yet he must be born again, because all of your goodness,

67
00:03:29.919 --> 00:03:32.800
all of your righteousness, that will not save you.

68
00:03:32.800 --> 00:03:33.960
You need Jesus.

69
00:03:34.039 --> 00:03:36.520
But on the other hand, we turn around and say, hey,

70
00:03:36.719 --> 00:03:39.080
if you're truly saved, how do you know you're saved

71
00:03:39.199 --> 00:03:42.719
by this outward righteousness, by this outward morality.

72
00:03:42.759 --> 00:03:43.719
Well, wait a minute.

73
00:03:43.919 --> 00:03:46.879
Outward righteousness and outward morality is obviously not a proof

74
00:03:46.919 --> 00:03:50.000
of salvation. If someone can be outwardly moral and outwardly

75
00:03:50.080 --> 00:03:53.280
righteous and yet not saved, that means you can be

76
00:03:53.319 --> 00:03:57.800
outwardly moral and outwardly righteous without salvation. So therefore outward

77
00:03:57.840 --> 00:04:03.080
morality and righteousness cannot prove one salvation. It's a complete contradiction,

78
00:04:03.199 --> 00:04:06.039
it's circular reasoning. There's all kinds of problems with it.

79
00:04:06.479 --> 00:04:10.680
So I was going to grab that sermon, download it,

80
00:04:10.719 --> 00:04:13.599
and just kind of use it to really get into

81
00:04:13.639 --> 00:04:17.240
this major theological issue that is so prevalent and Protestant

82
00:04:17.680 --> 00:04:19.600
Reformed fundamentalist church.

83
00:04:19.680 --> 00:04:21.879
On one hand, you can be righteous and not.

84
00:04:21.920 --> 00:04:25.360
Be saved, yet your righteousness supposedly proves you're saved.

85
00:04:25.399 --> 00:04:27.920
Well, righteousness that, no, it doesn't prove you're saved.

86
00:04:27.920 --> 00:04:30.480
If I unrighteous, If a person who's lost can be

87
00:04:30.600 --> 00:04:35.519
morally righteous outwardly well, then moral outward morality.

88
00:04:34.920 --> 00:04:36.040
Does not prove salvation.

89
00:04:36.480 --> 00:04:39.279
Oh there's so much we could get into that. So

90
00:04:39.360 --> 00:04:41.759
that's where I was going to go. I was I'm like, okay,

91
00:04:42.000 --> 00:04:44.800
let me save this one, and I'm gonna and I'm

92
00:04:44.800 --> 00:04:47.000
gonna do something. So I started typing out some notes

93
00:04:47.279 --> 00:04:49.319
and I'm like, Okay, I think I'm ready to go

94
00:04:49.560 --> 00:04:52.120
so I was gonna come up here, sit down, and say,

95
00:04:52.519 --> 00:04:55.920
ye must be born again. Okay, here's what this pastor

96
00:04:55.920 --> 00:04:58.720
says about Nicodemus. Now let's consider this and a lot

97
00:04:58.759 --> 00:05:03.399
of how Protestants typical teach them, and fundamentalists and evangelicals,

98
00:05:03.439 --> 00:05:04.879
et cetera, et cetera, and we can.

99
00:05:04.800 --> 00:05:05.680
See the contradiction.

100
00:05:05.800 --> 00:05:07.959
We can point out the circular reasoning, and then we

101
00:05:08.000 --> 00:05:10.079
can look forward that, you know, the real proof of

102
00:05:10.120 --> 00:05:12.759
salvation is not my righteousness, but the righteousness of Christ.

103
00:05:12.839 --> 00:05:17.199
I thought it would be an interesting conversation, and then

104
00:05:18.120 --> 00:05:21.360
something happened. I was sitting here and I was just,

105
00:05:21.480 --> 00:05:24.319
you know, continuing to just refresh the sermon's two point

106
00:05:24.360 --> 00:05:27.800
oh app the new sermons, and all of a sudden

107
00:05:29.839 --> 00:05:36.079
I saw a sermon entitled how does Satan Stop up

108
00:05:36.240 --> 00:05:43.000
Your well? How does Satan stop up your well? And

109
00:05:43.040 --> 00:05:45.160
I'm like, woit minute, I don't have a well? Right, Okay,

110
00:05:45.319 --> 00:05:47.759
I mean now I used to now when I live.

111
00:05:47.920 --> 00:05:49.560
I grew up in Buffalo.

112
00:05:49.160 --> 00:05:49.720
Gap, Texas.

113
00:05:49.759 --> 00:05:52.079
I grew up in Buffalo Gap, Texas, all right, and

114
00:05:52.319 --> 00:05:55.600
you know it was what population two hundred and sixty people,

115
00:05:55.639 --> 00:05:57.680
two hundred and seventy people at the time, all right.

116
00:05:57.920 --> 00:06:04.000
And right across from right across from my house, there's

117
00:06:04.040 --> 00:06:05.240
a street right now.

118
00:06:05.560 --> 00:06:07.600
If you go back into history.

119
00:06:08.040 --> 00:06:11.360
There was a there was a time in Texas history

120
00:06:11.959 --> 00:06:14.879
that Buffalo Gap was trying to become the kind of

121
00:06:14.920 --> 00:06:18.199
the county seat, right, kind of become the focus of

122
00:06:18.240 --> 00:06:22.600
the county, right, And there was an argument trying to

123
00:06:22.600 --> 00:06:25.399
have the railroad more in Buffalo Gap than in Abilene.

124
00:06:25.720 --> 00:06:29.199
And there was conflict between Abilene and Buffalo Gap and

125
00:06:29.240 --> 00:06:31.600
who was going to kind of become the county seat

126
00:06:31.759 --> 00:06:34.639
of Taylor County and where was the railroad going to

127
00:06:34.720 --> 00:06:37.120
basically be And there was all these issues. And on

128
00:06:37.160 --> 00:06:41.079
the street right in front of my house at some point,

129
00:06:41.160 --> 00:06:44.319
and there supposedly there was like a shootout right there

130
00:06:44.639 --> 00:06:47.319
in the street where I lived historically, and there's historical

131
00:06:47.439 --> 00:06:49.759
markers around Buffalo Gap about some of the things that

132
00:06:49.839 --> 00:06:52.560
happened there. And right across the street from my house

133
00:06:52.680 --> 00:06:55.800
is this house that and it had just been left there.

134
00:06:55.839 --> 00:06:57.920
I mean, it looked like it was built in the

135
00:06:58.000 --> 00:06:59.000
eighteen hundreds.

136
00:06:59.040 --> 00:07:01.879
Man, it was nobody was around it.

137
00:07:01.879 --> 00:07:05.879
It was abandon but it had this like eighteen hundreds

138
00:07:05.959 --> 00:07:07.879
fill and there was a lot of things a buffalo

139
00:07:07.959 --> 00:07:10.759
gap at that time. Now now the town looks a

140
00:07:10.800 --> 00:07:13.079
little bit different and a lot of the older structures

141
00:07:13.079 --> 00:07:14.759
have been torn down, which is kind of sad.

142
00:07:15.160 --> 00:07:18.040
But we would sit there and you know, when.

143
00:07:17.920 --> 00:07:19.800
You would walk outside and see the house, it made

144
00:07:19.839 --> 00:07:22.240
you feel like you were, you know, back in the

145
00:07:22.319 --> 00:07:24.560
eighteen hundreds, or you were in a you know, a

146
00:07:24.600 --> 00:07:26.920
Western and you were you know, you could, you could,

147
00:07:27.040 --> 00:07:29.480
your imagination could go well. So we would, we would

148
00:07:29.560 --> 00:07:32.600
play all around that house. It was, it was empty,

149
00:07:32.639 --> 00:07:35.680
it was abandoned, but it could give us this feel

150
00:07:35.759 --> 00:07:37.600
like you know, we were in the eighteen hundreds. And

151
00:07:37.759 --> 00:07:40.040
right if you looked at the house from if you

152
00:07:40.079 --> 00:07:41.920
walked out my front door and looked at the house,

153
00:07:42.240 --> 00:07:44.199
I think it was to the left of the house,

154
00:07:44.279 --> 00:07:46.560
right on the left hand side. You would go over

155
00:07:46.600 --> 00:07:48.680
there and guess what there was There was a well

156
00:07:48.879 --> 00:07:51.720
this way and you could you could There was steps

157
00:07:51.759 --> 00:07:53.079
to go down into the well.

158
00:07:53.879 --> 00:07:55.199
There was a bucket you could.

159
00:07:55.079 --> 00:07:56.720
Drop in there, and there was I don't know if

160
00:07:56.720 --> 00:07:59.040
it was like what where the well water was coming from,

161
00:07:59.120 --> 00:08:00.720
but you could pull the bucket out and get well.

162
00:08:00.839 --> 00:08:03.240
And so we would, you know, we would play all

163
00:08:03.240 --> 00:08:05.879
around that like you know, like we've been out riding

164
00:08:05.920 --> 00:08:08.319
our horse in the eighteen hundreds being you know, attacked

165
00:08:08.360 --> 00:08:12.360
by bandits or Native American tribes, whatever the case may be,

166
00:08:12.519 --> 00:08:15.000
and then we're pulling up the bucket to get water.

167
00:08:15.199 --> 00:08:17.560
And so it was just it was great for my imagination.

168
00:08:17.720 --> 00:08:19.600
I loved it. I loved it.

169
00:08:19.639 --> 00:08:21.959
So that's my only kind of like dealing with an

170
00:08:22.000 --> 00:08:25.120
actual well, that's where that's where it was. I never

171
00:08:25.199 --> 00:08:28.120
thought about Satan's showing up to stop up this well.

172
00:08:28.199 --> 00:08:28.519
I never.

173
00:08:28.600 --> 00:08:31.120
I never thought how Satan's gonna stop up this well?

174
00:08:31.120 --> 00:08:32.639
What does it mean that Satan stops up though?

175
00:08:32.639 --> 00:08:35.559
Well, so the title caught my attention, how does Satan

176
00:08:35.759 --> 00:08:38.320
stop up your well? But though what really got my

177
00:08:38.480 --> 00:08:45.360
attention was the text was Genesis twenty six. I'm like,

178
00:08:45.360 --> 00:08:49.320
wait a minute, wait a minute, Genesis twenty six. I

179
00:08:49.360 --> 00:08:54.159
got Genesis twenty six in front of me, Genesis twenty six.

180
00:08:54.720 --> 00:08:58.799
There are thirty five verses in Genesis twenty six. If

181
00:08:58.840 --> 00:09:02.080
we go with some just base headings for Genesis twenty six,

182
00:09:02.480 --> 00:09:11.519
God's covenant with Isaac, Isaac's deception. Isaac prospers disputes overwells.

183
00:09:13.919 --> 00:09:18.799
God appears to Isaac a Covenant with a bimeleg Now

184
00:09:18.840 --> 00:09:21.480
what I don't see anywhere in Genesis twenty six.

185
00:09:22.159 --> 00:09:23.279
I don't see Satan.

186
00:09:24.039 --> 00:09:25.480
So I'm like, wait a minute, how do we have

187
00:09:25.519 --> 00:09:30.200
a sermon called how does Satan Stop Up Your Well?

188
00:09:30.639 --> 00:09:34.840
Based on Genesis twenty six? When Satan doesn't even appear.

189
00:09:34.440 --> 00:09:36.960
In Genesis twenty six? What is going on?

190
00:09:37.080 --> 00:09:39.240
So I'm like, okay, this is interesting. So then I

191
00:09:39.279 --> 00:09:44.720
took the title, I took the scripture, and I basically

192
00:09:45.799 --> 00:09:48.519
I gave to Ai, Hey, I just stumbled upon this

193
00:09:48.720 --> 00:09:51.879
sermon entitled how does Satan Stop up Your Well? The

194
00:09:51.919 --> 00:09:55.279
text is Genesis twenty six, right, and this is what

195
00:09:55.320 --> 00:10:00.480
AI said. The title how does Satan Stop up Your Well?

196
00:10:00.759 --> 00:10:03.960
And the choice of Genesis twenty six suggests that the

197
00:10:04.080 --> 00:10:09.720
sermon will likely use Isaac's experience with the wells as

198
00:10:09.759 --> 00:10:15.840
a metaphor for spiritual life. Here are some possible hermeneutical

199
00:10:16.320 --> 00:10:21.200
and textual errors, as well as a prediction for how

200
00:10:21.399 --> 00:10:28.120
the text might be handled. So immediately AI was like, Hey,

201
00:10:28.559 --> 00:10:30.720
this is gonna turn. It's going to turn the well

202
00:10:30.879 --> 00:10:33.840
into some kind of a metaphor for the spiritual life.

203
00:10:33.919 --> 00:10:37.399
Then I guess Satan can stop up your spiritual life, like.

204
00:10:37.360 --> 00:10:38.679
What is going on here?

205
00:10:38.799 --> 00:10:39.000
Right?

206
00:10:39.279 --> 00:10:41.679
So here's what AI gives me. I'm not gonna I'm

207
00:10:41.679 --> 00:10:44.519
not gonna read everything it says. I will refer back

208
00:10:44.559 --> 00:10:46.120
to this because what we're gonna do is we're gonna

209
00:10:46.159 --> 00:10:47.200
review the audio.

210
00:10:47.639 --> 00:10:48.639
But I don't want you to.

211
00:10:48.639 --> 00:10:53.440
Think that I'm like feeding AI information as the sermon

212
00:10:53.559 --> 00:10:57.080
is going on. Now, I've already given AI the information.

213
00:10:58.240 --> 00:11:00.759
What I gave it was the title and the and

214
00:11:00.840 --> 00:11:05.000
the text. AI gave everything that I have right here

215
00:11:05.039 --> 00:11:06.600
in front of me. So I'm going to kind of

216
00:11:06.600 --> 00:11:09.200
at least go through this briefly so you know that

217
00:11:09.399 --> 00:11:13.480
AI did this before the sermon, Like, I did not

218
00:11:13.600 --> 00:11:16.240
give it the transcript. I just gave it the title

219
00:11:17.519 --> 00:11:20.720
and the text. This is crazy, okay, And it gave

220
00:11:20.799 --> 00:11:22.720
me all kinds of things. So here's what it gave me.

221
00:11:23.600 --> 00:11:28.840
AI gave me possible hermonutical errors. Number one, over spiritualization.

222
00:11:29.159 --> 00:11:31.159
So we're gonna so you you may want to write

223
00:11:31.159 --> 00:11:35.320
these down. AI is predicting that there's a probability there's

224
00:11:35.360 --> 00:11:37.919
a possibility that the sermon we are about to review

225
00:11:38.480 --> 00:11:43.440
is going to over spiritualize things. Number Two, that the

226
00:11:43.480 --> 00:11:45.639
sermon that we are about to hear is going to

227
00:11:45.759 --> 00:11:50.919
really ignore the historical context. It may mention the historical context,

228
00:11:50.960 --> 00:11:55.039
but it's gonna basically ignore it and favor this is

229
00:11:55.080 --> 00:12:01.919
what AI says, and favor of an allegorical interpretation. Number three,

230
00:12:02.279 --> 00:12:08.000
AI predicts that isigesus versus exegesis will occur. AI is

231
00:12:08.039 --> 00:12:11.759
predicting that they're going to read ideas into the text.

232
00:12:12.200 --> 00:12:16.080
The preacher may impose the idea of Satan into the text,

233
00:12:16.480 --> 00:12:20.559
even though the passage does not mention Satan.

234
00:12:20.840 --> 00:12:22.159
Or spiritual warfare.

235
00:12:23.279 --> 00:12:26.080
So the AI is predicting that the sermon we were

236
00:12:26.120 --> 00:12:28.360
about to review is going to use is of Jesus.

237
00:12:28.639 --> 00:12:31.679
Number four, AI is predicting that it's going to be

238
00:12:31.759 --> 00:12:38.000
a moralistic application. Number five AI is predicting that it's

239
00:12:38.039 --> 00:12:42.480
going to be a misuse of typology. Now AI is

240
00:12:42.519 --> 00:12:46.799
giving all these predictions, all right, So then I said,

241
00:12:46.960 --> 00:12:49.879
so then AI predicted how the sermon will go.

242
00:12:49.960 --> 00:12:51.080
Here's AI's prediction.

243
00:12:51.200 --> 00:12:55.360
Number one, it will focus on the wells as symbols,

244
00:12:55.720 --> 00:12:58.440
not actual physical wells, but it's going to turn the

245
00:12:58.480 --> 00:13:02.440
physical wells into sim Number two is gonna emphasize on

246
00:13:02.720 --> 00:13:06.759
Satan as the enemy. Satan is gonna become the enemy here,

247
00:13:06.919 --> 00:13:10.000
not whoever the enemy may be. Number three, there's gonna

248
00:13:10.000 --> 00:13:12.600
be an encouragement for me to redig.

249
00:13:13.559 --> 00:13:15.679
My well. I don't know even know what that means.

250
00:13:16.559 --> 00:13:18.720
Ai is predicting that the pastor is going to encourage

251
00:13:18.799 --> 00:13:20.399
us to redig our wells.

252
00:13:20.440 --> 00:13:21.440
I don't know what that means.

253
00:13:21.840 --> 00:13:27.600
Number four, it's gonna have possible some prosperity theology in it.

254
00:13:28.840 --> 00:13:30.519
Whoa, that's a big prediction.

255
00:13:31.960 --> 00:13:36.000
Number five, it's gonna neglect the theme of the covenants.

256
00:13:37.039 --> 00:13:40.039
All right, So then AI gives me suggestions for a

257
00:13:40.080 --> 00:13:43.759
better approach. We'll get into all of that later. So

258
00:13:43.840 --> 00:13:47.039
that's what Ai did. Ai broke this all.

259
00:13:46.879 --> 00:13:50.000
Down for me even before we've even listened to it.

260
00:13:50.879 --> 00:13:52.200
That is crazy to me.

261
00:13:52.480 --> 00:13:55.759
So I can just give Ai a title and the text,

262
00:13:55.840 --> 00:13:59.279
and AI will be like, well, here's where I think

263
00:13:59.320 --> 00:13:59.799
it's going.

264
00:13:59.840 --> 00:14:07.320
That's that's fascinating. That's crazy. That's Ai predicting, that's Ai

265
00:14:09.639 --> 00:14:10.799
almost thinking.

266
00:14:10.879 --> 00:14:14.159
I know, I'm maybe I'm I'm giving it too much credit.

267
00:14:14.360 --> 00:14:17.080
But when you just give something basic information and it

268
00:14:17.120 --> 00:14:20.320
can provide all of this, that is something fascinating. I

269
00:14:20.440 --> 00:14:22.960
told you at twenty twenty five is a year of AI.

270
00:14:23.039 --> 00:14:24.960
We're gonna we're gonna be talking about it over and

271
00:14:25.000 --> 00:14:27.039
over and over. So here we go, ladies and gentlemen,

272
00:14:27.320 --> 00:14:29.840
we're gonna listen to this sermon. How does Satan Stop

273
00:14:29.919 --> 00:14:32.600
up Your Well? It's on the sermon's two point Oh

274
00:14:32.600 --> 00:14:36.039
app it was added today, Go find it, download it.

275
00:14:36.559 --> 00:14:38.480
But we're gonna take it apart. But what it's gonna

276
00:14:38.480 --> 00:14:42.120
really work. I'm calling this Satan versus AI because the

277
00:14:42.120 --> 00:14:45.320
pastor puts Satan into the text. AI is going to

278
00:14:45.360 --> 00:14:49.440
be like AI seems to be implying, how did how

279
00:14:49.440 --> 00:14:51.159
did you get Satan into the text?

280
00:14:51.159 --> 00:14:52.559
So Satan versus Ai?

281
00:14:52.840 --> 00:14:54.879
Right, that's the way I'm going, right, And it's kind

282
00:14:54.919 --> 00:14:57.919
of a cold title should get people's attention. Yeah, I

283
00:14:57.960 --> 00:15:00.360
mean sometimes when you do a podcast, you have to

284
00:15:00.399 --> 00:15:02.440
try to create titles that will at least hopefully get

285
00:15:02.480 --> 00:15:05.960
your attention, just like this sermon did, How does Satan

286
00:15:06.039 --> 00:15:10.519
Stop up Your Well? Immediately got my attention. So I

287
00:15:10.559 --> 00:15:12.120
mean that's what titles are there for.

288
00:15:12.320 --> 00:15:14.519
So are you ready? Here we go. I don't know

289
00:15:14.519 --> 00:15:16.480
where this is going to go. What do you what

290
00:15:16.519 --> 00:15:18.639
do you predict? What do you predict?

291
00:15:18.759 --> 00:15:21.639
Let's let's put let's put our bets in right now,

292
00:15:21.679 --> 00:15:23.200
taking bets right now?

293
00:15:23.399 --> 00:15:23.639
Right?

294
00:15:24.320 --> 00:15:29.159
Are you predicting AI will be very accurate and its prediction.

295
00:15:28.960 --> 00:15:32.039
About this sermon? Or do you believe AI is about

296
00:15:32.120 --> 00:15:35.480
to be very very very wrong in its prediction. Come on,

297
00:15:35.919 --> 00:15:37.879
let's put your bets in. Now, put your bets in.

298
00:15:37.919 --> 00:15:38.799
What are you betting for?

299
00:15:39.120 --> 00:15:41.159
Are you going AI is going to be right in

300
00:15:41.240 --> 00:15:43.559
its prediction or AI is going to be very wrong

301
00:15:43.559 --> 00:15:44.279
in its prediction.

302
00:15:44.480 --> 00:15:45.080
What do you think?

303
00:15:46.120 --> 00:15:49.279
And if AI is right in its prediction, then that

304
00:15:49.360 --> 00:15:53.360
means AI you know what that means. That means AI,

305
00:15:53.679 --> 00:15:57.159
pulling from all of the information available to it, knows

306
00:15:58.000 --> 00:16:01.360
that sermons tend to tend to me handle text over

307
00:16:01.399 --> 00:16:03.799
and over and over again. That's how I'm going to

308
00:16:03.799 --> 00:16:08.240
interpret this because AI is like, hey, that title, that text,

309
00:16:08.559 --> 00:16:11.080
you know it's going to be a problem. So I

310
00:16:11.080 --> 00:16:14.879
don't know how well can AI predict how a sermon

311
00:16:14.960 --> 00:16:16.000
will go or not go?

312
00:16:16.320 --> 00:16:18.799
I don't know. I don't know. This is interesting to me.

313
00:16:19.600 --> 00:16:22.000
Let's find out. I'm interested. Here we go, I've got

314
00:16:22.039 --> 00:16:25.519
all my notes ready, let's listen.

315
00:16:28.399 --> 00:16:31.200
Go with me to By the way, let me give

316
00:16:31.200 --> 00:16:35.799
you a little infomercial. Please, I'm doing the Book of Genesis.

317
00:16:36.000 --> 00:16:39.720
I just started. You heard me online if you listen

318
00:16:39.720 --> 00:16:43.960
Wednesday night, and I just started. This week will be

319
00:16:43.960 --> 00:16:47.720
a good week to be here at the Genitis chapter

320
00:16:47.799 --> 00:16:52.200
number one. But because I try to really be prepared,

321
00:16:52.759 --> 00:16:55.759
I've read the Book of Genesis, because I was preparing

322
00:16:55.840 --> 00:17:01.279
for this series at fifteen times.

323
00:17:02.639 --> 00:17:04.319
Just read it. I did.

324
00:17:04.839 --> 00:17:09.119
And here's what happened to me. I love the Holy Ghost.

325
00:17:10.319 --> 00:17:14.279
As I was reading Holy ghosts part me in Genesis

326
00:17:14.359 --> 00:17:16.319
chapter twenty six. That's where I want you go.

327
00:17:19.160 --> 00:17:22.880
Okay, first, nothing but respect that he read the Book

328
00:17:22.920 --> 00:17:27.400
of Genesis fifteen times. Nothing but respect, don't mean that

329
00:17:27.440 --> 00:17:29.119
in a sarcastic way.

330
00:17:29.279 --> 00:17:31.799
However, what we need to do.

331
00:17:31.759 --> 00:17:33.799
What I hate to do this, but what we're going

332
00:17:33.880 --> 00:17:36.920
to have to ask ourselves. Does reading the Book of

333
00:17:36.960 --> 00:17:42.960
Genesis fifteen times? Does it guarantee that we will handle

334
00:17:43.039 --> 00:17:44.799
the text correctly?

335
00:17:45.359 --> 00:17:47.920
Now, and in my mind.

336
00:17:47.599 --> 00:17:50.480
I want to believe the more you read, the more

337
00:17:50.559 --> 00:17:54.759
you see, and the more you can avoid is of

338
00:17:54.839 --> 00:17:59.359
Jesus and metaphors and allegory and some of the major

339
00:17:59.400 --> 00:18:01.920
issues that that AI is predicting this sermon is.

340
00:18:01.880 --> 00:18:05.880
Going to do. If AI is right, then What that.

341
00:18:05.799 --> 00:18:09.799
Means is reading the text fifteen times does not fix

342
00:18:10.200 --> 00:18:15.960
these problems. Second, now I am concerned here because we

343
00:18:16.039 --> 00:18:20.039
have I love the Holy Ghost. The Holy Ghost parked

344
00:18:20.079 --> 00:18:24.799
me in Genesis twenty six. So is the Holy Ghost

345
00:18:25.200 --> 00:18:30.000
about to be blamed for the content of this sermon?

346
00:18:30.799 --> 00:18:34.559
Because if he says the Holy Ghost is the one

347
00:18:34.599 --> 00:18:38.839
that showed him how he's about to interpret Genesis twenty six,

348
00:18:41.839 --> 00:18:44.640
well then we are not able to criticize it because

349
00:18:44.640 --> 00:18:47.559
it's the interpretation of the Holy Ghost, which then would

350
00:18:47.599 --> 00:18:56.559
make his interpretation infallible. Oh how I so loathe the

351
00:18:56.599 --> 00:18:58.960
way Christians play this game. I'm not saying he's about

352
00:18:59.000 --> 00:19:01.920
to play the game, but sermon after sermon, the.

353
00:19:01.839 --> 00:19:03.240
Holy Ghost showed me this.

354
00:19:03.319 --> 00:19:06.240
The Holy Ghost laid the Holy Ghost opened my e

355
00:19:06.359 --> 00:19:09.880
and the Holy Spirit and you're like, well, you just

356
00:19:09.960 --> 00:19:12.559
claimed that your interpretation is infallible. The guy over there

357
00:19:12.599 --> 00:19:15.519
across the street, he said the Holy Ghost led him

358
00:19:15.519 --> 00:19:18.519
do a completely different interpretation. So either the Holy Ghost

359
00:19:18.559 --> 00:19:21.400
is just messing with everyone and playing little games like

360
00:19:21.920 --> 00:19:24.319
I'm gonna give them a Well, we were not going

361
00:19:24.359 --> 00:19:26.440
to ever say that, because well, that would be we

362
00:19:26.480 --> 00:19:29.880
would be assigning deceit and sin to the Holy Spirit.

363
00:19:30.279 --> 00:19:33.039
So maybe when you come up with an interpretation a

364
00:19:33.119 --> 00:19:39.000
set of blaming God, you blame your own interpretive skills.

365
00:19:42.720 --> 00:19:44.240
All right, but here we go, here we go, Here

366
00:19:44.240 --> 00:19:45.920
we go, here we go, here we go, here we go.

367
00:19:46.799 --> 00:19:51.599
So do we do we call this the Holy Spirit

368
00:19:51.880 --> 00:19:59.440
versus A. I. Let's see how much he includes the

369
00:19:59.480 --> 00:20:04.079
Holy Spirit in this. Maybe when I post this, I'm

370
00:20:04.119 --> 00:20:06.799
gonna have to call this the Holy Spirit versus AI.

371
00:20:08.359 --> 00:20:12.279
That would be very controversial title. But if he's going

372
00:20:12.319 --> 00:20:15.240
to blame the Holy Spirit for what we're about to get,

373
00:20:15.880 --> 00:20:17.720
then then AI.

374
00:20:17.759 --> 00:20:20.480
Is obviously sounds like going to possibly disagree. Well, to

375
00:20:20.559 --> 00:20:21.680
see where this goes.

376
00:20:23.160 --> 00:20:27.200
And part me there and I got fought, And first

377
00:20:27.200 --> 00:20:30.000
part would be real great. Some of you might be

378
00:20:30.000 --> 00:20:33.640
a little tough on the last part. But it's a

379
00:20:34.000 --> 00:20:37.319
thought that I want to give you. I've been reading

380
00:20:37.359 --> 00:20:41.240
the Bible. I love the Bible. It's the inspired word

381
00:20:41.279 --> 00:20:43.279
of God. I'm not backing up from that.

382
00:20:43.480 --> 00:20:44.240
It's in Eric.

383
00:20:45.160 --> 00:20:49.559
Amen. And by the way, I'm not gonna change preaching

384
00:20:49.599 --> 00:20:54.000
from the King James Bible. You know, I'm not gonna

385
00:20:54.000 --> 00:20:56.920
get no fuss about it. You know, all these knuckleheads

386
00:20:56.920 --> 00:20:59.720
are online, fussing about it all the time. Now, Maya,

387
00:20:59.720 --> 00:21:01.960
I'm just gonna preach out what I preached on him,

388
00:21:02.359 --> 00:21:04.599
and they can whatever they.

389
00:21:04.480 --> 00:21:04.839
Want to do.

390
00:21:04.960 --> 00:21:08.599
Go ahead, Uh, just a choice, Sick. If you're there,

391
00:21:08.680 --> 00:21:13.799
say amen, let's I'll use all the chapter tonight, but

392
00:21:14.240 --> 00:21:16.799
for the sake of time, let's leus dive in at

393
00:21:16.880 --> 00:21:21.440
verse twelve and I will read down probably to verse

394
00:21:21.480 --> 00:21:26.200
twenty two, about ten verses. And there's one verse that

395
00:21:26.480 --> 00:21:29.519
popped out at me that I'm gonna preach on tonight.

396
00:21:30.640 --> 00:21:36.279
Then Isaac sewed in that land and received in the

397
00:21:36.319 --> 00:21:41.000
same year one hundredfold, and the Lord blessed him. By

398
00:21:41.039 --> 00:21:43.440
the way, if you're a child of God, God wants

399
00:21:43.480 --> 00:21:47.880
to bless your life. And the man works great and

400
00:21:47.960 --> 00:21:50.559
went forward, by the way, that's the only way we

401
00:21:50.640 --> 00:21:53.640
need to do, is go forward and grew until he

402
00:21:53.759 --> 00:21:55.319
became very great.

403
00:21:57.839 --> 00:22:01.200
All Right, you're already kind of getting a hermeneutical of approach. Right,

404
00:22:01.759 --> 00:22:06.119
you're already hearing the hermoneutical approach. Then Isaac sewed in

405
00:22:06.200 --> 00:22:09.279
that land and received in the same year one hundredfold,

406
00:22:09.319 --> 00:22:11.559
and the Lord blessed him. God wants to bless you.

407
00:22:12.359 --> 00:22:19.400
God wants to does God want to, but he can't.

408
00:22:20.960 --> 00:22:24.279
There's a lot of issues here, and I are not

409
00:22:24.400 --> 00:22:27.240
already blessed with all spiritual blessings in Christ. Oh, we

410
00:22:27.279 --> 00:22:29.880
could have all kinds of conversations about that, and the

411
00:22:29.920 --> 00:22:31.759
man waxed great and went forward.

412
00:22:31.960 --> 00:22:33.480
That's the only way we're supposed to go.

413
00:22:33.640 --> 00:22:37.480
He's just taking phrases and just immediately making them about us.

414
00:22:37.960 --> 00:22:38.759
You see what he's doing.

415
00:22:38.839 --> 00:22:41.640
He's reading a phrase immediately making it about us.

416
00:22:41.720 --> 00:22:42.640
Phrase us.

417
00:22:42.799 --> 00:22:46.079
We're in Genesis twenty six. Ladies and gentlemen, we're not here.

418
00:22:46.160 --> 00:22:48.920
We're not in this text. This is about Isaac. But okay,

419
00:22:49.039 --> 00:22:53.160
he's already he's taken two phrases blessed forward.

420
00:22:53.119 --> 00:22:54.240
And made them about us.

421
00:22:54.319 --> 00:22:56.279
Now that you can kind of get, that's kind of

422
00:22:56.279 --> 00:22:58.759
giving you a hermeneutical preview.

423
00:22:59.359 --> 00:23:02.079
I think let's see if this continues.

424
00:23:04.519 --> 00:23:10.519
For he had possessed possession, had possession of fox, and possession.

425
00:23:10.039 --> 00:23:13.440
Of herds, and great store of servants.

426
00:23:14.359 --> 00:23:18.000
And listen to this. I'll cover this later. And the

427
00:23:18.000 --> 00:23:20.720
Philistines envied him.

428
00:23:20.759 --> 00:23:21.680
That's a sermon itself.

429
00:23:21.759 --> 00:23:25.039
And I won't do that to die. For all the

430
00:23:25.079 --> 00:23:31.359
wells which his father, father's servant had digged in the

431
00:23:31.440 --> 00:23:34.839
days of Abraham his father. Catch this, This is the

432
00:23:34.920 --> 00:23:41.720
important verse. The Philistines had stopped them. And here's how

433
00:23:41.720 --> 00:23:44.279
they've done it and filled them with earth.

434
00:23:44.920 --> 00:23:46.759
What they've done all the.

435
00:23:46.599 --> 00:23:51.599
Wells of Abraham that were so important, The Philistines filled

436
00:23:51.640 --> 00:23:55.960
them up with dirt because they hated God's people. Somebody

437
00:23:55.960 --> 00:23:56.680
helped me preach.

438
00:23:59.559 --> 00:24:03.480
Now, question, did the Philistines.

439
00:24:04.839 --> 00:24:09.000
Stop up the wells because they hate God's people?

440
00:24:11.200 --> 00:24:11.640
All? Right?

441
00:24:12.279 --> 00:24:18.960
So did? I'm gonna ask Ai? Did the Philistines hang on?

442
00:24:19.039 --> 00:24:24.039
Where is the verse here? Did the Philistines hang on?

443
00:24:24.359 --> 00:24:25.400
I gotta find it?

444
00:24:27.279 --> 00:24:39.240
Did the fill Listines stop up the wells because they

445
00:24:39.480 --> 00:24:51.799
hated God's people? Let's see what Ai has to say here.

446
00:24:51.880 --> 00:24:53.599
Let's see what Ai has to say here?

447
00:24:54.640 --> 00:25:00.000
All right? Okay Ai immediately rejects it.

448
00:25:00.359 --> 00:25:04.200
Ai says, no, the Philistines and Genesis twenty six did

449
00:25:04.240 --> 00:25:06.920
not stop the wells because they hated God's people and

450
00:25:07.039 --> 00:25:10.880
a philological or spiritual sense. Their actions were more likely

451
00:25:10.920 --> 00:25:17.000
motivated by envy, territorial disputes, and economic rivalry, rather than

452
00:25:17.039 --> 00:25:20.920
a direct hatred for Isaac as a representative of God's

453
00:25:20.960 --> 00:25:26.440
covenant people. So mean, he just made a dogmatic assertion.

454
00:25:26.920 --> 00:25:30.119
The Philistines did this because they hate God's people.

455
00:25:30.519 --> 00:25:33.880
Immediately, AI is like, no, silly.

456
00:25:33.720 --> 00:25:37.680
Oh oh see, okay, so what is it now? This

457
00:25:37.759 --> 00:25:40.559
is what I love about AI. Does AI just stop there?

458
00:25:42.160 --> 00:25:44.759
It's already answered the question. No, AI doesn't stop there.

459
00:25:44.880 --> 00:25:48.880
Guess what it provides me the textual evidence.

460
00:25:49.039 --> 00:25:50.880
Oh wait, AI.

461
00:25:50.839 --> 00:25:53.960
Is going to actually use the text of scripture to

462
00:25:53.960 --> 00:25:58.720
try to justify its answer. Man, I wish Christians would

463
00:25:58.720 --> 00:26:04.400
do this. Okay, here we go, all right the textual evidence.

464
00:26:04.519 --> 00:26:09.880
Genesis twenty six twelve through twenty two envy over Isaac's prosperity.

465
00:26:10.319 --> 00:26:14.359
Genesis twenty six twelve through fourteen explains that Isaac became

466
00:26:14.559 --> 00:26:19.079
very wealthy, which caused the Philistines to envy him. His

467
00:26:19.279 --> 00:26:24.960
prosperity flocks, herds, and servants would have created competition for

468
00:26:25.160 --> 00:26:30.599
resources like water and grazing land. The Philistines' actions were

469
00:26:30.680 --> 00:26:35.359
likely aimed at limiting Isaac's ability to thrive in the region.

470
00:26:35.680 --> 00:26:41.279
Nothing about God's people. This is just fleshly type of

471
00:26:42.240 --> 00:26:48.880
you know, economic concerns, resource concerns, and a fleshly selfish approach.

472
00:26:49.599 --> 00:26:53.759
Territorial and political disputes. Wells in the ancient Near East

473
00:26:53.839 --> 00:26:57.160
were critical for survival, especially in an arid region. By

474
00:26:57.200 --> 00:26:59.880
stopping up wells, the Philistines were likely trying to assert

475
00:26:59.880 --> 00:27:04.160
control over the land and resources, signaling that Isaac was unwelcome.

476
00:27:04.440 --> 00:27:08.799
This was more about protecting their perceived territory than philological

477
00:27:08.880 --> 00:27:13.839
opposition Number two no mention of hatred for God or

478
00:27:13.839 --> 00:27:16.720
his people. The text does not indicate that the Philistines

479
00:27:16.720 --> 00:27:19.039
stopped up the wells because they hated God or his

480
00:27:19.160 --> 00:27:23.039
covenant people. Instead, the motivation seems to be very practical

481
00:27:23.200 --> 00:27:27.160
and rooted in self interest. The philistines envy verse fourteen

482
00:27:27.440 --> 00:27:30.680
and the subsequent quarrels overwhelms Verses nineteen to twenty one

483
00:27:30.839 --> 00:27:35.319
are described in relational and economical terms, not in spiritual

484
00:27:35.400 --> 00:27:39.920
or philological terms the text. This man just made a

485
00:27:39.960 --> 00:27:42.599
statement that the text itself does.

486
00:27:42.400 --> 00:27:48.960
Not support broader or biblical context.

487
00:27:49.559 --> 00:27:52.839
Later in biblical history, the Philistines become prominent enemies of

488
00:27:53.000 --> 00:27:56.440
Israel in the time of Samson, Saul, and David. However,

489
00:27:56.720 --> 00:28:00.000
in Genesis twenty six, the Philistines are not yet framed

490
00:28:00.039 --> 00:28:01.799
the theological adversaries of.

491
00:28:01.799 --> 00:28:02.880
God's covenant people.

492
00:28:03.160 --> 00:28:07.359
The conflict here is local and specific to Isaac's growing

493
00:28:07.680 --> 00:28:12.680
wealth and influence. The emphasis of Genesis twenty six is

494
00:28:12.720 --> 00:28:16.839
on God's covenant faithful to faithfulness to Isaac despite the

495
00:28:16.880 --> 00:28:22.000
opposition he faces. The Philistines' actions highlight the challenges Isaac

496
00:28:22.119 --> 00:28:25.799
encounters as he inherits the land promised to Abraham. God's

497
00:28:25.799 --> 00:28:29.160
continued blessing of Isaac providing new wells and peace with

498
00:28:29.200 --> 00:28:32.359
the Philistines, and verse twenty two to thirty one underscores

499
00:28:32.400 --> 00:28:38.400
his faithfulness to his promise. So immediately, remember what Ai

500
00:28:38.680 --> 00:28:43.200
predicted that this sermon would over spiritualize things. Well, he

501
00:28:44.279 --> 00:28:46.720
just over spiritual He just turned this whole thing into

502
00:28:47.039 --> 00:28:50.160
they are doing it because they hate God's people. Nothing

503
00:28:50.200 --> 00:28:53.000
in the text proves it, the context disproves it. He's

504
00:28:53.039 --> 00:28:59.240
over spiritualizing it. AI's prediction has already been perfect, and

505
00:28:59.359 --> 00:29:03.720
Ai already just demonstrated literally basically. I mean, you can

506
00:29:03.759 --> 00:29:06.440
almost refer to it as a factual error. This is

507
00:29:06.480 --> 00:29:09.240
not even a I mean, this is just a factual error.

508
00:29:11.519 --> 00:29:16.279
And a Bimelech said on Isaac, go from us, for

509
00:29:16.440 --> 00:29:21.839
thou art much mightier than wet, and Isaac depart events

510
00:29:22.640 --> 00:29:26.359
and pissed his tin in the valley of Garrar, and

511
00:29:26.480 --> 00:29:30.960
dwelt there and listen to what Isaac done. And Isaac

512
00:29:31.079 --> 00:29:35.680
digged again the whales of water which they had digged

513
00:29:35.720 --> 00:29:39.960
in the days of Abraham his father, for the Philipsines

514
00:29:40.039 --> 00:29:44.240
had stopped them or that word again after the death

515
00:29:44.279 --> 00:29:48.920
of Abraham. And he called their names after the names

516
00:29:49.039 --> 00:29:53.279
by which his father had called them. And Isaac's servants

517
00:29:53.319 --> 00:29:56.359
digged in the valley and found their well spring. The

518
00:29:56.480 --> 00:30:03.880
water and the herdmen of are did strive with Isaac's

519
00:30:03.880 --> 00:30:10.519
herban saved the water is ours. And he called the name.

520
00:30:10.319 --> 00:30:14.759
Of the well essek, because they strove of him.

521
00:30:15.240 --> 00:30:18.200
And they digged another well. I'm going somewhere. This's gonna

522
00:30:18.200 --> 00:30:22.000
be good men whoo. And they digged another well and

523
00:30:22.119 --> 00:30:26.839
strove for that also, and he called the name of

524
00:30:26.880 --> 00:30:31.000
it sitting now, and he removed from thence and digged

525
00:30:31.039 --> 00:30:37.640
another well, and for that they strove not. And he

526
00:30:37.759 --> 00:30:40.279
called the name get this, called the name of it

527
00:30:41.480 --> 00:30:44.759
ray hoo both. And he said, for now the Lord

528
00:30:45.559 --> 00:30:49.359
has made room for us, and we shall be fruitful

529
00:30:49.440 --> 00:30:52.079
in the land. That's awesome preaching. I'm gonna try to

530
00:30:52.079 --> 00:30:56.119
get in this quick. Our father right now touches preaching. Lord,

531
00:30:56.160 --> 00:30:58.440
I feel like preaching, but I need the unction of

532
00:30:58.480 --> 00:31:02.160
the Holy Ghost this year. Lord, I'm commit by you

533
00:31:02.240 --> 00:31:04.039
and myself to you. I want to preach where than

534
00:31:04.039 --> 00:31:04.839
I ever had.

535
00:31:05.240 --> 00:31:07.559
Did, not for me, but for you.

536
00:31:08.319 --> 00:31:11.440
And I want to give my people something tonight because

537
00:31:11.480 --> 00:31:16.240
it's so important Lord, what I'm teaching them tonight. And

538
00:31:16.279 --> 00:31:19.599
I'll praise your otti in Jesus' name for his sake.

539
00:31:19.680 --> 00:31:21.720
Now you looked at the text. I may saw that

540
00:31:22.119 --> 00:31:27.160
in the text twice that the Philistines stopped the.

541
00:31:27.119 --> 00:31:30.119
Way up and they'd done it by throwing dirt in it.

542
00:31:30.880 --> 00:31:33.039
Now listen to this.

543
00:31:33.200 --> 00:31:35.839
If you read most of this chapter, Brother Jeff, some

544
00:31:35.920 --> 00:31:38.640
of you deacons, if you read most of this chapter,

545
00:31:38.839 --> 00:31:41.960
this chapter is talking about water, and I talking about Wales.

546
00:31:42.279 --> 00:31:45.720
That's the whole subject. But here's what that happened.

547
00:31:46.720 --> 00:31:56.400
Isaac had had set up his life in Philistine territory

548
00:31:56.480 --> 00:31:59.960
in Garrar. Now listen to me. And by the way,

549
00:32:00.160 --> 00:32:04.759
this area was was hot and arid and rocky and dry.

550
00:32:05.519 --> 00:32:10.240
Is a terrible environment. I want you to know something

551
00:32:10.880 --> 00:32:17.160
ain't nothing like when you're real hot and human and

552
00:32:17.200 --> 00:32:18.160
when you really.

553
00:32:20.039 --> 00:32:27.079
Are real thirsty to get a good drink of whale water.

554
00:32:28.440 --> 00:32:30.400
Some of you kids ain't never drink in your life,

555
00:32:30.440 --> 00:32:36.480
and it's the best thing since sliced bread. Amen.

556
00:32:37.799 --> 00:32:39.440
I remember, let me tell you this little story.

557
00:32:39.480 --> 00:32:42.400
I remember when I was a boy, and uh bright,

558
00:32:42.519 --> 00:32:44.039
I don't know if they still have it there. I

559
00:32:44.039 --> 00:32:46.720
think they covered it up, messed it up. But up there,

560
00:32:46.839 --> 00:32:49.799
Saint Marriage were, or you know up in there, they

561
00:32:49.920 --> 00:32:51.960
used to be a whale up there when we camped

562
00:32:52.039 --> 00:32:55.440
up there. Uh I remember one day my dad rubbed

563
00:32:55.480 --> 00:32:59.480
me all over middle Allen Creek about three or four miles.

564
00:32:59.480 --> 00:33:01.720
He just had me doing stuff back and forth, and

565
00:33:01.759 --> 00:33:05.359
I was thirsting to death. I thought I was done

566
00:33:06.319 --> 00:33:11.200
gonna die. And I'll never forget getting into that well.

567
00:33:12.400 --> 00:33:16.680
I'm telling you what. I started sucking at well water, and.

568
00:33:17.559 --> 00:33:21.359
It was good. I found some by the way, I

569
00:33:21.480 --> 00:33:22.279
found some rest.

570
00:33:22.640 --> 00:33:25.559
Back there in these days where these wells were, it

571
00:33:25.599 --> 00:33:25.920
was a.

572
00:33:25.839 --> 00:33:26.640
Place of rest.

573
00:33:26.839 --> 00:33:29.440
It's also a place of relaxation. I'll tell you what

574
00:33:29.480 --> 00:33:32.079
they did at these wells. They put little boots over

575
00:33:32.160 --> 00:33:33.759
top of them where you could come at the whale.

576
00:33:33.960 --> 00:33:35.720
There's a booth over there you can get out of

577
00:33:35.759 --> 00:33:38.599
the sun drink for what somebody helped me preach. I'm

578
00:33:38.599 --> 00:33:40.640
gonna get real happy here in a manner as a

579
00:33:40.640 --> 00:33:45.880
place of relaxation and refreshment and reviving. It just really

580
00:33:46.039 --> 00:33:48.960
helps you. But I want to get this to you.

581
00:33:49.400 --> 00:33:52.680
These wells of Isa and these wells of Abraham is

582
00:33:52.759 --> 00:33:53.519
a picture.

583
00:33:54.400 --> 00:33:56.359
Let me give it to you of the church.

584
00:33:59.599 --> 00:34:10.360
Wow, the wells are a picture of the church.

585
00:34:11.480 --> 00:34:15.679
Okay, do you want me to ask artificial intelligence? Okay?

586
00:34:16.519 --> 00:34:18.639
Are the wells?

587
00:34:19.679 --> 00:34:24.960
Are the wells in Genesis.

588
00:34:25.360 --> 00:34:37.920
Twenty six a picture of the church? All right, here

589
00:34:37.960 --> 00:34:41.840
we go, here we go. Oh wow, this is crazy.

590
00:34:43.000 --> 00:34:46.639
Ai is emphatic. I love how Ai is emphatic.

591
00:34:47.159 --> 00:34:51.599
No, No, AI is like No, the wells in Genesis

592
00:34:51.599 --> 00:34:53.840
twenty six are not a picture of the church. Well

593
00:34:53.920 --> 00:34:56.639
preachers or teachers may sometimes use the wells as metaphor

594
00:34:56.679 --> 00:35:00.440
for spiritual truths or the church. Such an interpretation is

595
00:35:00.519 --> 00:35:05.519
not grounded in the text itself or in the broader

596
00:35:05.599 --> 00:35:10.000
biblical narrative. Here's why the interpretation is problematic and how

597
00:35:10.079 --> 00:35:14.639
the wells should be understood. Number one, the wells in

598
00:35:14.719 --> 00:35:17.920
their historical Now, please note see how quickly Ai is

599
00:35:17.960 --> 00:35:22.280
able to just take this all apart me He made

600
00:35:22.280 --> 00:35:25.639
a claim about the Philistines. Immediately, AI was no, and

601
00:35:25.639 --> 00:35:30.440
it gave me all the textual biblical justification for that.

602
00:35:30.599 --> 00:35:30.679
No.

603
00:35:31.159 --> 00:35:34.400
Here it's no. The wells are not a picture of

604
00:35:34.440 --> 00:35:36.639
the Church, and immediately what is it. It's going to

605
00:35:36.679 --> 00:35:37.159
break it down.

606
00:35:37.239 --> 00:35:40.079
Number One, the wells in their historical context wells in

607
00:35:40.119 --> 00:35:44.360
Genesis twenty six are literal. They're not symbolic. They're essential

608
00:35:44.360 --> 00:35:48.559
for survival in the ancient Near East, providing water for drinking, agriculture,

609
00:35:48.639 --> 00:35:52.280
and livestock. In the narrative, the wells represent God's provision

610
00:35:52.480 --> 00:35:54.760
and Isaac's claim to the land as a part of

611
00:35:54.800 --> 00:35:58.880
the covenant promised to Abraham Genesis twelve seven Genesis twenty

612
00:35:58.920 --> 00:36:02.360
six three through four. By reopening the wells doug by Abraham,

613
00:36:02.400 --> 00:36:05.760
Isaac demonstrates his continued connection to the Covenant and his

614
00:36:05.880 --> 00:36:07.119
rightful place in the land.

615
00:36:07.519 --> 00:36:08.760
The disputes over.

616
00:36:08.599 --> 00:36:14.119
The well reflect practical and territorial conflict, not philological ones.

617
00:36:14.360 --> 00:36:15.800
The philistine's action.

618
00:36:15.679 --> 00:36:19.039
Stopping up the wells are about asserting control over resources,

619
00:36:19.079 --> 00:36:21.079
not about opposing God or his.

620
00:36:21.199 --> 00:36:25.360
People in any spiritual sense. Number two.

621
00:36:25.800 --> 00:36:28.679
Problems with interpreting the wells as a picture of the Church.

622
00:36:29.320 --> 00:36:33.400
One there's no biblical warrant. There is no indication in

623
00:36:33.480 --> 00:36:36.840
Genesis twenty six or anywhere else in scripture that the

624
00:36:36.880 --> 00:36:40.920
wells symbolize the Church. The connection would be speculative and

625
00:36:41.199 --> 00:36:45.920
unsupported by the text. Number two forcing allegory. Turning the

626
00:36:45.920 --> 00:36:48.800
wells into a symbol of the church risk engaging in

627
00:36:48.920 --> 00:36:52.840
allegory that imposes meaning on the text rather than drawing.

628
00:36:52.599 --> 00:36:54.039
Meaning from it.

629
00:36:54.320 --> 00:36:58.199
This is reading into the text, not pulling from to

630
00:36:58.239 --> 00:37:02.039
the text. This is isid Jesus. And remember what AI predicted.

631
00:37:02.559 --> 00:37:06.039
AI predicted that this sermon would be I would use

632
00:37:06.079 --> 00:37:08.639
is of Jesus and would not be exit Jesus. And

633
00:37:08.800 --> 00:37:13.039
literally everything AI has predicted about this sermon is coming

634
00:37:13.199 --> 00:37:17.760
true right in front of you, all right. Turning the

635
00:37:17.760 --> 00:37:20.599
wells into a symbol of the church risk engaging an

636
00:37:20.599 --> 00:37:23.320
allegory that imposes meaning on the text rather than drawing

637
00:37:23.400 --> 00:37:26.559
meaning from it. This approach can obscure the actual message

638
00:37:26.559 --> 00:37:30.960
of the passage, which is about God's covenant faithfulness to Isaac.

639
00:37:31.719 --> 00:37:33.440
Number three misapplication.

640
00:37:34.000 --> 00:37:36.320
If the wells are interpreted as the Church, it can

641
00:37:36.400 --> 00:37:40.719
lead to misguided applications, such as seeing the Philistines as

642
00:37:40.719 --> 00:37:43.519
a representation of Satan or enemies of the Church. This

643
00:37:43.599 --> 00:37:46.440
shifts the focus away from the historical theological themes of

644
00:37:46.480 --> 00:37:49.280
the passage. Now you know, you look what Ai is predicting.

645
00:37:50.239 --> 00:37:52.960
If you make the wells the church, you'll then make

646
00:37:53.000 --> 00:37:55.800
the philistine Satan. What is the title of the church?

647
00:37:56.000 --> 00:37:59.800
How do Satan stop up your well? I can't believe

648
00:38:00.199 --> 00:38:04.199
Ai has got this figured out, even without even having

649
00:38:04.280 --> 00:38:12.800
access to the sermon. All right, and Ai goes on,

650
00:38:13.000 --> 00:38:15.000
could I could spend thirty more minutes going.

651
00:38:14.800 --> 00:38:16.119
On with what Ai does here?

652
00:38:16.159 --> 00:38:18.519
Ai has predicted everything this sermon is going to do.

653
00:38:18.599 --> 00:38:19.679
It's even making.

654
00:38:19.440 --> 00:38:21.320
A prediction about what's to happen. Let's see if it's

655
00:38:21.360 --> 00:38:23.719
going to be true. AI is predicting that if you

656
00:38:23.840 --> 00:38:26.039
make the wells the church. I think if I said

657
00:38:26.039 --> 00:38:27.639
if you make the church the wells or the wells

658
00:38:27.639 --> 00:38:28.199
the shirt, you.

659
00:38:28.159 --> 00:38:28.840
Get the idea.

660
00:38:28.920 --> 00:38:31.199
If you say the wells or a picture of the church,

661
00:38:31.400 --> 00:38:33.280
then what you're going to do is turn the Philistines

662
00:38:33.400 --> 00:38:36.320
into basically a picture of Satan. And all of that

663
00:38:36.599 --> 00:38:38.800
Ai predicts, and none of it is biblical.

664
00:38:39.039 --> 00:38:43.800
It's textually incorrect. It's is said Jesus. But yet here

665
00:38:43.800 --> 00:38:45.480
are the people they're gonna be saying.

666
00:38:45.239 --> 00:38:48.440
Amen, they're gonna be applotting, they're gonna get all excited,

667
00:38:48.639 --> 00:38:51.280
and we're gonna have an emotional experience. And guess what

668
00:38:51.400 --> 00:38:54.320
is going to happen? I keep saying it again and

669
00:38:54.360 --> 00:39:00.159
again and again and again. Sermons are the death to

670
00:39:00.519 --> 00:39:05.159
understanding the Bible. The sermon is the worst thing ever

671
00:39:05.280 --> 00:39:09.320
created in the history of mankind that people actually want

672
00:39:09.360 --> 00:39:10.199
to understand the text.

673
00:39:10.199 --> 00:39:12.079
And when I say the sermon, the sermon as it

674
00:39:12.159 --> 00:39:13.119
has become.

675
00:39:13.079 --> 00:39:17.239
It's this, it's it's it's a speech, it's a it's

676
00:39:17.280 --> 00:39:18.519
a form of entertainment.

677
00:39:18.760 --> 00:39:22.480
It's it's it's not about the text.

678
00:39:23.320 --> 00:39:26.199
The whole sermon structure needs to be exploded and burned

679
00:39:26.199 --> 00:39:27.280
to the ground, and we need.

680
00:39:27.159 --> 00:39:30.400
To start over, because what is this.

681
00:39:31.320 --> 00:39:35.360
I I appreciate their zell I appreciate their passion, I

682
00:39:35.440 --> 00:39:43.119
appreciate their their desire, But this is well, maybe I'm wrong,

683
00:39:43.159 --> 00:39:43.760
Maybe I'm wrong.

684
00:39:43.800 --> 00:39:45.039
Let let's let's see where it goes.

685
00:39:46.880 --> 00:39:49.719
Oh, some may help me here of the sembling of

686
00:39:49.800 --> 00:39:54.199
ourselves together, because we're living in a dry How ma

687
00:39:54.199 --> 00:39:58.559
me believe that human, ungodly rocky world?

688
00:39:58.599 --> 00:40:00.000
This won't general.

689
00:40:00.599 --> 00:40:08.360
We're living this world doesn't have anything for us Christians.

690
00:40:08.360 --> 00:40:11.400
For the love of bubblegum, Can we stop using the

691
00:40:11.440 --> 00:40:12.199
word woke?

692
00:40:12.440 --> 00:40:19.280
Okay? It's like this buzzword woke, this woke generation, woke, woke, woke, woke.

693
00:40:19.519 --> 00:40:24.320
It's like older people, this woke generation. My goodness, what

694
00:40:25.599 --> 00:40:29.719
can we stop using that word. It's like we get

695
00:40:29.760 --> 00:40:30.639
a word and it's like.

696
00:40:30.599 --> 00:40:33.960
Oh, the boogeyman is woke? Woke? Is the boogeyman?

697
00:40:34.280 --> 00:40:34.320
You?

698
00:40:34.360 --> 00:40:36.320
Nobody wants to be woke. What we want to be

699
00:40:36.440 --> 00:40:38.480
is asleep. We don't want to be woke. We don't

700
00:40:38.519 --> 00:40:41.280
want to be awake. We want to be asleep. Do

701
00:40:41.360 --> 00:40:46.840
we stop with that? It's always older people doing it. Woke, woke, woke, woke.

702
00:40:46.960 --> 00:40:51.519
It's it sounds like a like a Fox News on

703
00:40:51.559 --> 00:40:53.599
a loop on a loop. Can we stop it?

704
00:40:54.719 --> 00:40:55.039
Okay?

705
00:40:55.079 --> 00:40:58.199
If you have an issue with a specific ideology, instead

706
00:40:58.199 --> 00:41:00.519
of referring to it as woke, how about just say,

707
00:41:00.800 --> 00:41:04.320
here's what the ideology teaches, and here's my opposition to

708
00:41:04.400 --> 00:41:05.440
said ideology.

709
00:41:06.800 --> 00:41:09.119
What doesn't everyone want to be awake?

710
00:41:13.320 --> 00:41:19.599
It's try, it's it's a mess, and I am glad

711
00:41:20.199 --> 00:41:21.880
that God established a church.

712
00:41:22.960 --> 00:41:26.119
Well, you can come and find some rest.

713
00:41:28.880 --> 00:41:30.800
Oh boy, so he's turned into he's just this is

714
00:41:30.880 --> 00:41:35.000
allegorizing the entire thing, the dry human land. That's the

715
00:41:35.039 --> 00:41:37.239
world and we live and the church is where you

716
00:41:37.320 --> 00:41:40.519
come to get rest. I am just a question, how,

717
00:41:40.639 --> 00:41:43.079
how in your life has the church been a source

718
00:41:43.119 --> 00:41:48.440
of a rest and a source of refreshment. What has

719
00:41:48.480 --> 00:41:52.920
the church really been in your I'm just seriously, come on,

720
00:41:53.039 --> 00:41:56.239
look now. What I hear of stories over and over

721
00:41:56.280 --> 00:41:58.320
and over is I was in this church and church

722
00:41:58.360 --> 00:41:59.920
split and then there was this fight and there was

723
00:42:00.159 --> 00:42:02.000
argument about this, and then there was this, and then

724
00:42:02.000 --> 00:42:03.719
we got this pastor and then we got a new pastor,

725
00:42:03.760 --> 00:42:05.119
and then there was this, and then there was that,

726
00:42:05.239 --> 00:42:06.719
and there was this and then this, and then there

727
00:42:06.760 --> 00:42:08.800
was gossip and then there was slander and there was backslapping,

728
00:42:08.920 --> 00:42:12.000
and then there was this scandal and there was this controversy, and.

729
00:42:12.000 --> 00:42:13.840
There was this, this, this, and then I have to

730
00:42:13.880 --> 00:42:14.599
do this and then.

731
00:42:14.480 --> 00:42:16.280
We had this activity, and then we had this activity

732
00:42:16.320 --> 00:42:17.760
and we have to go here, we go there, and

733
00:42:17.800 --> 00:42:19.840
then the stress and then there's get and then there

734
00:42:19.880 --> 00:42:20.280
was all this.

735
00:42:20.960 --> 00:42:27.880
I always hear all the negative stories, and.

736
00:42:27.960 --> 00:42:30.320
Is the church the place where we get our rest?

737
00:42:30.440 --> 00:42:34.760
And refreshment? Or is Christ where we find our rest

738
00:42:34.880 --> 00:42:41.320
and refreshment? Is Christ the source of rest and refreshment?

739
00:42:41.440 --> 00:42:42.000
Or the Church?

740
00:42:42.199 --> 00:43:01.559
Biblically speaking, let's ask AI biblically Biblically, is the Church

741
00:43:02.519 --> 00:43:03.599
the source.

742
00:43:05.239 --> 00:43:05.960
Of rest?

743
00:43:06.239 --> 00:43:13.800
Hand on the source of If I can typewrite of

744
00:43:14.079 --> 00:43:21.719
rest and uh refreshment, I'm just gonna use different words

745
00:43:22.440 --> 00:43:38.320
refreshment and and peace? Or is Christ? Is it a

746
00:43:38.639 --> 00:43:50.360
mistake to point to the Church as the source of

747
00:43:51.039 --> 00:43:53.199
these things?

748
00:43:53.199 --> 00:43:54.320
See what AI has to say.

749
00:43:54.320 --> 00:44:00.960
I'm sorry, it took forever to type that out.

750
00:44:01.719 --> 00:44:04.760
Okay, this is what AI says.

751
00:44:04.800 --> 00:44:09.760
Biblically, Christ alone, AI stresses the word alone, It puts

752
00:44:09.800 --> 00:44:13.519
it in bold type. Is the ultimate source of rest, refreshment,

753
00:44:13.639 --> 00:44:16.920
and peace, not the Church. The Church plays a vital

754
00:44:17.000 --> 00:44:19.840
role in pointing believers to Christ and fostering a community

755
00:44:20.000 --> 00:44:23.280
where these blessings are experienced. Attributing those qualities to the

756
00:44:23.360 --> 00:44:27.920
Church as the source is a philological error.

757
00:44:28.159 --> 00:44:28.800
Here's why.

758
00:44:28.880 --> 00:44:31.920
Number one, Christ is the source of rest and peace.

759
00:44:32.519 --> 00:44:35.880
Jesus explicitly invites people to find rest in Him. Come

760
00:44:36.000 --> 00:44:39.639
to me, all who labor and heavy laden, and I

761
00:44:39.920 --> 00:44:44.760
will give you rest peace. Christ is described as the

762
00:44:44.760 --> 00:44:47.599
source of true peace. Peace I leave with you my

763
00:44:47.760 --> 00:44:51.519
peace I give to you Ephesians two fourteen.

764
00:44:51.840 --> 00:44:55.760
He himself is our peace living water.

765
00:44:56.199 --> 00:44:59.239
Whoever drinks of the water that I will give him

766
00:44:59.280 --> 00:45:02.199
will never be thirsty.

767
00:45:02.320 --> 00:45:05.159
Not the Church. All of that comes from Christ.

768
00:45:07.960 --> 00:45:11.039
Dangers of pointing to the Church as the source Ai,

769
00:45:11.159 --> 00:45:14.880
says Idolatry, elevating the Church is the source of rest

770
00:45:14.920 --> 00:45:20.119
and peace, displacing the institution above Christ Number two misplaced focus.

771
00:45:20.280 --> 00:45:22.599
Pointing to the Church as the source of peace can

772
00:45:22.639 --> 00:45:26.639
shift the focus away from Christ's efficiency. Three Spiritual harm.

773
00:45:27.000 --> 00:45:32.199
Believers who are hurt disappointed by the Church might feel

774
00:45:32.239 --> 00:45:35.320
spiritually abandoned if they are taught to rely on the

775
00:45:35.440 --> 00:45:41.639
Church rather than Christ. Now, if you are a if

776
00:45:41.639 --> 00:45:44.639
you believe in the sacraments, now let's make sure we're

777
00:45:44.719 --> 00:45:48.679
If you are sacramental right, well, then the Church is

778
00:45:48.719 --> 00:45:50.800
the source of these things because you believe it. Then

779
00:45:50.800 --> 00:45:53.760
the sacraments are a means of grace, and the Church

780
00:45:53.840 --> 00:45:56.239
is the only one who can distribute the sacraments. That's

781
00:45:56.400 --> 00:46:00.519
very Roman Catholic. He just made the church. The church

782
00:46:00.599 --> 00:46:03.119
is where we come to get our refreshment. The church

783
00:46:03.199 --> 00:46:08.159
is where we come to find our rest, No Christ Christ.

784
00:46:11.960 --> 00:46:17.079
Where you could come and find some relaxation, where you

785
00:46:17.119 --> 00:46:19.280
could come somebody help me preach.

786
00:46:19.599 --> 00:46:21.480
Hey, get some get some.

787
00:46:21.440 --> 00:46:26.360
Refreshment, where you could come and get some revival.

788
00:46:26.679 --> 00:46:30.239
Hey, this world died, This world's gone. But I'm glad

789
00:46:30.280 --> 00:46:31.320
to pull this rock.

790
00:46:31.440 --> 00:46:34.280
I build my church, and the gates of hell shall

791
00:46:34.360 --> 00:46:37.280
I prevail against it? Amen?

792
00:46:39.639 --> 00:46:44.239
Two, says everybody. Clapp got ready to hear some clapping

793
00:46:44.280 --> 00:46:51.920
and all the amen ing. Oh, unbelievable.

794
00:46:52.280 --> 00:46:55.360
The philological I mean, Catholics would love this. Catholics would

795
00:46:55.360 --> 00:46:56.039
love this sermon.

796
00:46:56.119 --> 00:46:59.039
Right, the church you need the church, the Church, the Church,

797
00:46:59.159 --> 00:46:59.880
the church.

798
00:46:59.679 --> 00:47:00.559
The right.

799
00:47:00.679 --> 00:47:05.679
You got to have the church, all right, this has

800
00:47:05.760 --> 00:47:06.679
the heart.

801
00:47:06.880 --> 00:47:10.519
Pandas after the water, brooks so pants my soul what

802
00:47:10.719 --> 00:47:11.360
your God?

803
00:47:11.920 --> 00:47:15.559
The old God? My soul thirst for God, for the

804
00:47:15.679 --> 00:47:16.480
living God.

805
00:47:18.639 --> 00:47:22.199
Right, my soul thirst for God, not the Church. My

806
00:47:22.320 --> 00:47:28.119
soul thirst after God, not the Church. God is the source.

807
00:47:29.360 --> 00:47:31.559
God is the source of rest. God is the source

808
00:47:31.599 --> 00:47:35.519
of revival. God is the source of peace. God is

809
00:47:35.559 --> 00:47:39.559
the source of the living water. It's him, not the church.

810
00:47:43.239 --> 00:47:47.199
I'll tell you what church is. It's an oasis in

811
00:47:47.280 --> 00:47:50.679
the wilderness. And first of all, it's a well of

812
00:47:51.880 --> 00:47:52.639
the Word of God.

813
00:47:53.719 --> 00:47:55.000
I want you to know something.

814
00:47:55.159 --> 00:47:58.199
Somebody think a preacher, you preach it me, I don't

815
00:47:58.239 --> 00:48:01.360
even know some of you real will you know? What

816
00:48:01.400 --> 00:48:05.199
happens is the Holy Ghost comes into your pastor and

817
00:48:05.320 --> 00:48:08.079
leads him more and what to preach. I know you

818
00:48:08.119 --> 00:48:10.119
were thinking, I told to your wife last night. I

819
00:48:10.159 --> 00:48:12.719
actually didn't you know what.

820
00:48:12.639 --> 00:48:15.639
This place is. Hey, By the way, I still be even.

821
00:48:15.519 --> 00:48:19.639
Preaching linipool line precept, ple preacher, give somebody something from.

822
00:48:19.440 --> 00:48:20.480
The Word of God.

823
00:48:20.199 --> 00:48:22.119
I didn't. I didn't bring y'all out here on the

824
00:48:22.159 --> 00:48:25.519
snowy day just to give you some sermonette. The christinet's

825
00:48:25.519 --> 00:48:28.519
a smoke cigarette.

826
00:48:30.679 --> 00:48:32.679
Well, if the Holy Spirit gave you this sermon, then

827
00:48:32.719 --> 00:48:38.360
the Holy Spirit, obviously, I don't know. We've got problems.

828
00:48:38.400 --> 00:48:41.920
We have problems right here. We have major problems. We

829
00:48:42.039 --> 00:48:43.079
got major problems.

830
00:48:44.360 --> 00:48:44.920
We got mayor.

831
00:48:45.079 --> 00:48:48.760
And you're preaching line by line, precept upon precept, are you,

832
00:48:49.199 --> 00:48:52.679
Because what you're doing is you're allegorizing a text, you're

833
00:48:53.079 --> 00:48:54.239
spiritualizing it.

834
00:48:54.599 --> 00:48:56.159
You're you're you're saying.

835
00:48:55.920 --> 00:48:58.639
Things that are just factually in error and theologically this

836
00:48:58.679 --> 00:49:02.320
thing is a mess and HEYI predicted all of this

837
00:49:02.360 --> 00:49:04.760
would happen even before we started listening.

838
00:49:07.440 --> 00:49:13.719
Came out here to prayce forget to sea red poil.

839
00:49:13.760 --> 00:49:17.840
I don't mean that, Yes I did, but it's okay.

840
00:49:18.679 --> 00:49:21.639
Not only that's a well of the Word of God,

841
00:49:21.679 --> 00:49:22.760
that's a well of worship.

842
00:49:23.719 --> 00:49:24.679
I want you to know something.

843
00:49:24.719 --> 00:49:26.039
This is oat this morning.

844
00:49:26.159 --> 00:49:28.320
Some people shouting, some morning people.

845
00:49:28.239 --> 00:49:30.079
From raising your hand, some of you raise your hand

846
00:49:30.119 --> 00:49:32.360
today of worship, plotle bit. You know what this place

847
00:49:32.400 --> 00:49:33.880
ought to be here, I ought to be a place

848
00:49:33.920 --> 00:49:35.960
of worship. I tell you what's turned out to me.

849
00:49:36.280 --> 00:49:39.079
In some church it's just an entertainment center. All they

850
00:49:39.119 --> 00:49:42.400
do is have I Rock Jesus and all this junk. Hey,

851
00:49:42.440 --> 00:49:45.159
by the way, I'm not against new music loss. I'm

852
00:49:45.159 --> 00:49:46.920
not against I ain't fighting against that.

853
00:49:47.119 --> 00:49:48.239
But I am fighting.

854
00:49:47.960 --> 00:49:50.880
Against this rock Jesus and some of this stupidity that's

855
00:49:50.920 --> 00:49:53.239
going on. By the way, we need to come in

856
00:49:53.400 --> 00:50:01.199
worship and get good, wholesome music, good preacher and price God.

857
00:50:03.199 --> 00:50:07.079
Do you not hear the irony all this stupid stuff.

858
00:50:07.079 --> 00:50:13.719
He's condemning some of this stupid stuff. Are we getting

859
00:50:13.760 --> 00:50:16.840
preaching here? Are we getting the text? Are we getting

860
00:50:17.800 --> 00:50:24.039
an understanding of Genesis twenty six in any meaningful way.

861
00:50:24.679 --> 00:50:26.920
We just had the church elevated above Christ. I know

862
00:50:26.960 --> 00:50:29.480
that wasn't the intention, but that's kind of what just happened.

863
00:50:29.679 --> 00:50:32.679
We've been things have been allegorized.

864
00:50:32.760 --> 00:50:33.320
Not the case.

865
00:50:33.440 --> 00:50:38.119
It's over spiritualization. Everything AI said, what's going to happen

866
00:50:38.280 --> 00:50:41.679
is happening. So you're gonna condemn other stupid stuff. These

867
00:50:41.719 --> 00:50:45.239
other churches are, well, you get other churches, give entertainment.

868
00:50:46.239 --> 00:50:49.719
You do what you're doing. How do we measure which

869
00:50:49.719 --> 00:50:56.440
one is the good one? Which one is the bad one?

870
00:50:58.079 --> 00:50:58.239
Oh?

871
00:50:58.320 --> 00:50:59.039
Yeah, I'm preaching.

872
00:51:00.159 --> 00:51:04.320
And also it said, well of witness, I want you

873
00:51:04.400 --> 00:51:08.239
to know this church is a witness, you know, And

874
00:51:08.360 --> 00:51:10.039
let me tell you one of the reasons. I noticed

875
00:51:10.079 --> 00:51:14.880
that witness two times this week. It was tough because

876
00:51:14.920 --> 00:51:17.719
nobody was here about Jared's going and it was a

877
00:51:17.760 --> 00:51:22.400
little tough. There's people hear what they've done, called and

878
00:51:22.519 --> 00:51:25.480
needed a little something. You know. What they said to

879
00:51:25.519 --> 00:51:28.679
me lost two times. I don't know if they's told

880
00:51:28.679 --> 00:51:31.880
them the same people. They said, we know something about

881
00:51:31.920 --> 00:51:38.239
your church that y'all love people. And I said, well,

882
00:51:40.840 --> 00:51:43.000
I said, well who told you that we love people.

883
00:51:44.079 --> 00:51:47.519
And you know what that travel gas station's down here?

884
00:51:47.679 --> 00:51:55.280
What you call it? Pa pa ta? I don't go there,

885
00:51:55.320 --> 00:51:59.360
so I don't even know what's called. But evidently there's

886
00:51:59.400 --> 00:52:04.440
somebody down there. Thanks y'all something and thanks his church

887
00:52:04.519 --> 00:52:05.039
doing something.

888
00:52:09.599 --> 00:52:16.320
Did This is a sermon on Genesis twenty six. Ladies

889
00:52:16.360 --> 00:52:19.840
and gentlemen. What in the world is happening? What is

890
00:52:19.960 --> 00:52:27.559
going on? I don't even man, man, man, I don't

891
00:52:27.639 --> 00:52:39.480
know anymore. I don't Okay, well, we just got to

892
00:52:39.480 --> 00:52:43.440
finish this. I oh, man, well, and.

893
00:52:43.360 --> 00:52:45.599
I said, I don't know where Satan's going to upear.

894
00:52:45.639 --> 00:52:47.599
He's only got like ten minutes left. I don't know

895
00:52:47.599 --> 00:52:50.000
where he's gonna have to throw in Satan here.

896
00:52:49.920 --> 00:52:54.960
Quickly because uh that he's got like ten minutes.

897
00:52:58.119 --> 00:53:01.159
And they send him down here and I try to

898
00:53:01.239 --> 00:53:03.159
help him, help every hey.

899
00:53:03.039 --> 00:53:06.920
But we do our best. You know why, this is

900
00:53:06.960 --> 00:53:07.719
an oasis?

901
00:53:09.320 --> 00:53:15.000
Mark fist down. You're marked fist down any time, are

902
00:53:15.039 --> 00:53:20.599
y'all listen? God's blessing and you're getting fresh water out

903
00:53:20.599 --> 00:53:23.519
of the way. Mark it down. The devil's gonna try

904
00:53:23.559 --> 00:53:28.800
faud dirt in it. Oh yeah, you listen to me.

905
00:53:29.000 --> 00:53:31.199
I don't want to be a killed joy tonight. But

906
00:53:31.280 --> 00:53:34.599
I'm just gonna tell you something that the enemy wants

907
00:53:34.639 --> 00:53:37.760
to throw dirt and what's happened that Tays Valley Baptist Church,

908
00:53:37.800 --> 00:53:40.760
Because what's happened that tays Value Bade Church ain't happening everywhere.

909
00:53:43.039 --> 00:53:45.719
But see, the church is not the source of the

910
00:53:45.760 --> 00:53:49.079
refreshment and the peace and all of that. So if

911
00:53:49.119 --> 00:53:52.039
Satan throws all the dirt and the world into the

912
00:53:52.159 --> 00:53:54.800
church and stops up the Church, the refreshment and the

913
00:53:54.800 --> 00:53:57.920
blessing and the revival and all of that, it flows

914
00:53:57.920 --> 00:54:01.519
from Christ, not the Church. So Satan can't stop all

915
00:54:01.519 --> 00:54:04.239
of these things coming from Christ. That's because in Christ,

916
00:54:04.360 --> 00:54:06.079
I have all spiritual blessings.

917
00:54:06.239 --> 00:54:10.679
In Christ, I have peace in Christ. Oh, the whole.

918
00:54:10.360 --> 00:54:14.280
Thing logically is just falling completely apart. If you make

919
00:54:14.320 --> 00:54:16.880
the church the source of it, then yes, Satan stops

920
00:54:16.960 --> 00:54:18.679
up the Church, then that stops the.

921
00:54:18.559 --> 00:54:21.039
Flow of all of these things. Well that's that.

922
00:54:21.039 --> 00:54:25.239
It is basically Catholic theology. You have to have the church.

923
00:54:25.440 --> 00:54:28.159
Without the Church, there is no salvation. We can go

924
00:54:28.199 --> 00:54:31.400
back to some famous quotes in Catholic history about this.

925
00:54:31.400 --> 00:54:39.360
This is this is just form of Catholicism, Oh man alive.

926
00:54:40.000 --> 00:54:42.239
If the church has stopped up, if the church is

927
00:54:42.400 --> 00:54:46.039
burnt to the ground, if there's not a church anywhere,

928
00:54:46.280 --> 00:54:51.599
the blessings, the peace, the rest, the refreshment, the revival,

929
00:54:51.960 --> 00:54:55.480
all of that does not stop because it flows from Christ,

930
00:54:56.039 --> 00:54:57.320
not the church.

931
00:55:04.159 --> 00:55:06.679
Most churches here don't even have church tonight, but to

932
00:55:06.760 --> 00:55:08.599
stop the cause of snow, they never have it.

933
00:55:11.480 --> 00:55:14.119
Aren't you glad you got an oasis to come? Well,

934
00:55:14.119 --> 00:55:17.119
you're gonna hear the word of God. Man worship sim songs,

935
00:55:17.119 --> 00:55:18.280
you sang hoes to choss.

936
00:55:18.320 --> 00:55:20.239
I'm aout ready to shout my head off.

937
00:55:22.519 --> 00:55:24.880
Is this an oasis where you're coming to hear the

938
00:55:24.880 --> 00:55:27.800
word of God? Because we're yet to hear anything about

939
00:55:27.800 --> 00:55:29.039
Genesis twenty six?

940
00:55:32.039 --> 00:55:37.920
What is the word that's being preached? Ai? I guarantee

941
00:55:37.920 --> 00:55:40.039
you AI could break down Genesis twenty.

942
00:55:39.800 --> 00:55:44.960
Six far better than what we are given. AI could

943
00:55:45.000 --> 00:55:48.039
break down Genesis twenty six and a chapter, summary, method,

944
00:55:48.039 --> 00:55:51.320
a chapter, and now anything I want about Genesis twenty six,

945
00:55:51.519 --> 00:55:55.559
AI can give me within five seconds.

946
00:56:00.400 --> 00:56:04.320
I came to wash up, but I want you to

947
00:56:04.360 --> 00:56:04.840
notice something.

948
00:56:06.039 --> 00:56:10.320
I want you to hear this. The enemy wants to

949
00:56:10.400 --> 00:56:15.599
throw dirt Tay's Valley. Baptists are well. But look at

950
00:56:15.679 --> 00:56:18.400
verse fourteen and see why they wanted to throw dirt

951
00:56:19.320 --> 00:56:23.000
and the devil wants to throw dirt. The Bible says this,

952
00:56:24.800 --> 00:56:26.639
and the phyllis you know why they've done it that,

953
00:56:27.559 --> 00:56:32.480
and the Philistines envy them. You what bothers me? Why

954
00:56:32.519 --> 00:56:35.079
are churches jealous of other churches?

955
00:56:36.440 --> 00:56:38.559
I pray for every church that preaches the.

956
00:56:38.519 --> 00:56:41.719
Bible and uses the King James. Now all the rest

957
00:56:41.760 --> 00:56:44.519
of them, my kind Lord, help him you can.

958
00:56:47.760 --> 00:56:50.159
But I want you to know a good, solid church.

959
00:56:50.239 --> 00:56:51.119
I pray for them.

960
00:56:51.280 --> 00:56:56.639
I want every independent Baptist church this area succeed. Amen,

961
00:56:58.119 --> 00:57:00.480
But I want to tell you what you said. You

962
00:57:00.519 --> 00:57:03.840
really believe it? Devil enmies, Oh my God. Verses one

963
00:57:03.920 --> 00:57:08.800
Peter says, the angels desire and they was talking. The

964
00:57:08.840 --> 00:57:13.719
contest is talking about joy and the angels desire.

965
00:57:14.000 --> 00:57:17.639
And look into it, and the devil was an angel.

966
00:57:18.840 --> 00:57:23.079
Uh huh, Amen. I tell you we don't want to

967
00:57:23.079 --> 00:57:26.880
lose what we got here. It's precious, it's powerful. Hey,

968
00:57:26.920 --> 00:57:29.519
by the way, it's worked over the generations. I've been

969
00:57:29.519 --> 00:57:32.079
here forty six years. I can't remember a year. God

970
00:57:32.079 --> 00:57:34.440
hadn't blessed us. I can't remember a time God had

971
00:57:34.599 --> 00:57:37.480
blessed us. I Hey, listen to God blessing this place.

972
00:57:37.480 --> 00:57:41.320
He is, but don't watch out, because he wants to

973
00:57:41.400 --> 00:57:48.800
stop it up, and not just to us, every church around. Now,

974
00:57:48.880 --> 00:57:50.599
let me give you three things and I'll be done.

975
00:57:52.519 --> 00:57:55.559
So Satan wants to stop up the church because the

976
00:57:55.679 --> 00:57:58.400
church is the source of all this stuff. Because if

977
00:57:58.400 --> 00:57:59.840
he stops at the church, we don't have.

978
00:58:00.039 --> 00:58:04.280
Access to Oh that's the problems.

979
00:58:04.519 --> 00:58:06.960
See, this is what happens when you spiritualize the text

980
00:58:07.000 --> 00:58:08.920
that has nothing to do with the church, nothing to

981
00:58:08.960 --> 00:58:10.840
do with Satan. It has something to do with a

982
00:58:10.880 --> 00:58:17.679
physical well, a physical basically a fleshly, earthly dispute over

983
00:58:17.840 --> 00:58:19.400
territory and resources.

984
00:58:19.679 --> 00:58:21.719
And you're going to turn it into this spiritual metaphor.

985
00:58:21.760 --> 00:58:24.639
Once you turn it into the spiritual metaphor philologically, then

986
00:58:24.679 --> 00:58:27.000
everything becomes a train wreck. This is a train wreck

987
00:58:27.039 --> 00:58:30.480
phiologically because you're now making the church the source of

988
00:58:30.519 --> 00:58:33.000
all these things that the scripture say comes from God,

989
00:58:33.159 --> 00:58:37.519
not the church. And we can get into the whole

990
00:58:37.519 --> 00:58:42.239
thing about Satan. Satan wants to fill in the church

991
00:58:42.360 --> 00:58:47.400
with dirt because he envies us somehow. Even AI says

992
00:58:47.559 --> 00:58:50.840
there is no direct biblical evidence that Satan envies humans

993
00:58:50.880 --> 00:58:51.440
or the church.

994
00:58:54.079 --> 00:58:56.199
But I guess we can just make that assumption.

995
00:58:56.400 --> 00:58:58.719
We don't need the Bible, but hey, we come to

996
00:58:58.760 --> 00:59:00.679
this church because it's an oasis.

997
00:59:00.760 --> 00:59:02.519
We can hear the Bible preached.

998
00:59:02.719 --> 00:59:04.639
I think I could have said in the parking lot,

999
00:59:04.760 --> 00:59:08.320
asked Ai five questions about Genesis twenty six, and drove

1000
00:59:08.400 --> 00:59:11.400
off and would have heard the Bible preach better than this.

1001
00:59:11.679 --> 00:59:14.760
That's my whole issue. That's why I keep pointing this

1002
00:59:14.840 --> 00:59:17.960
whole AI thing out, because AI is for the first

1003
00:59:18.119 --> 00:59:21.159
It's giving us the tool to really demonstrate what I've

1004
00:59:21.159 --> 00:59:25.079
been saying over and over. Is the church really worth anything?

1005
00:59:25.199 --> 00:59:27.559
When you take all of the money, all the effort

1006
00:59:27.639 --> 00:59:30.320
to keep it going, and this and over and over

1007
00:59:30.360 --> 00:59:33.119
and over, what you get handed to you from.

1008
00:59:32.920 --> 00:59:37.639
The pulpit is I don't even know how to classify it.

1009
00:59:41.320 --> 00:59:42.320
I'm doing, Am I all right?

1010
00:59:43.159 --> 00:59:47.480
I'm promising, I'm gonna I'm gonna be long. Why or

1011
00:59:47.559 --> 00:59:52.800
how how does the devil get it stopped up?

1012
00:59:54.599 --> 00:59:57.440
Why are you worrying about going long? If the church

1013
00:59:57.559 --> 01:00:01.480
is just oasis in this place of ref freshmen and revival.

1014
01:00:01.719 --> 01:00:04.679
Nobody wants to leave. Don't worry about how long you

1015
01:00:04.760 --> 01:00:07.400
go preach for ten hours? Oh wait, I bet you

1016
01:00:07.440 --> 01:00:10.000
the people will want to go home and find refreshment.

1017
01:00:10.159 --> 01:00:13.159
And yeah, okay, all right, now they'll don't don't even

1018
01:00:13.239 --> 01:00:15.719
get me started to see that when you over spiritualize things.

1019
01:00:15.800 --> 01:00:17.679
All right, but he's going to give us these points.

1020
01:00:18.280 --> 01:00:20.559
I know we're at an hour, but hey, come on,

1021
01:00:20.679 --> 01:00:22.559
let's see. Lets let's I mean, we're this close. Let's

1022
01:00:22.559 --> 01:00:25.639
finish this up. So how does Satan stop? How does

1023
01:00:25.679 --> 01:00:26.559
Satan stop.

1024
01:00:26.360 --> 01:00:27.400
Up the church? All right?

1025
01:00:28.119 --> 01:00:31.559
This, oh boy, this has nothing to do with Genesis

1026
01:00:31.639 --> 01:00:33.960
twenty six, But let's see how Satan stops up to church.

1027
01:00:34.119 --> 01:00:35.920
Is he going to base it off Genesis twenty six?

1028
01:00:36.440 --> 01:00:39.199
If he is, this is just this is literally an

1029
01:00:39.280 --> 01:00:41.840
annihilation of the text. If if that's where he's going

1030
01:00:41.920 --> 01:00:42.119
to go?

1031
01:00:42.199 --> 01:00:48.800
Here stuff, how would you by the way, this building's

1032
01:00:48.840 --> 01:00:52.000
not the church you are, So how does he stop

1033
01:00:52.039 --> 01:00:52.679
your whale up?

1034
01:00:54.800 --> 01:00:55.079
Okay?

1035
01:00:55.119 --> 01:00:58.559
Wait, the church is not the church. You are the church.

1036
01:00:58.920 --> 01:01:01.840
So you are the source. See where this is not

1037
01:01:01.960 --> 01:01:05.559
falling apart? If the church is the is the oasis.

1038
01:01:05.679 --> 01:01:09.079
If the church is the source of revival and refreshment.

1039
01:01:09.400 --> 01:01:12.199
And you are the church, then you are the source

1040
01:01:12.440 --> 01:01:15.559
of the revival and the refreshment, not God. Now this

1041
01:01:15.800 --> 01:01:19.360
just becomes even a major The logical fallacies in this

1042
01:01:19.440 --> 01:01:23.840
thing are so bad. The church is an oasis, the

1043
01:01:23.960 --> 01:01:27.159
church is a source of revival and refreshment.

1044
01:01:27.360 --> 01:01:28.239
You come to the church.

1045
01:01:28.519 --> 01:01:30.880
Oh, but you're no the building, not the church, You're

1046
01:01:30.920 --> 01:01:33.320
the church. Well, if you're the church and you're the

1047
01:01:33.320 --> 01:01:35.519
source of all these things, then I guess I have

1048
01:01:35.599 --> 01:01:37.039
to go to you, like what is.

1049
01:01:37.559 --> 01:01:43.039
I don't even understand. I don't understand. I don't understand.

1050
01:01:43.360 --> 01:01:47.599
I don't understand. Okay, I gotta finish this. I just

1051
01:01:47.639 --> 01:01:48.880
I just want to quit right now.

1052
01:01:51.280 --> 01:01:56.079
I'll show you number one. When you are more concerned

1053
01:01:57.519 --> 01:02:04.000
with the world than you are with God, will you

1054
01:02:04.039 --> 01:02:07.960
look at Genesis chapter twenty six and verse one. This

1055
01:02:08.000 --> 01:02:11.360
is a this is this, And there was a famine

1056
01:02:11.360 --> 01:02:15.760
in the land besides the first famine that was member

1057
01:02:15.880 --> 01:02:19.840
when in the days of Abraham and Isaac went into

1058
01:02:20.280 --> 01:02:24.199
a blimelech king of the Philistines under Jowar.

1059
01:02:25.119 --> 01:02:26.360
And look at verse number six.

1060
01:02:26.760 --> 01:02:29.480
Now he's so turned there at first verse number six

1061
01:02:29.880 --> 01:02:32.119
and Isaac dwelt in jowar.

1062
01:02:33.199 --> 01:02:36.039
Y'all want to know why the well.

1063
01:02:35.960 --> 01:02:39.719
Got stopped up. Instead of Isaac being near the well,

1064
01:02:42.119 --> 01:02:48.679
he is out in the world because he thought his

1065
01:02:48.800 --> 01:02:52.800
supply came from the world and there was a famine.

1066
01:02:52.840 --> 01:02:54.880
And by the way, his daddy.

1067
01:02:54.639 --> 01:02:58.000
Done the same thing. And that's why we got the

1068
01:02:58.039 --> 01:03:04.239
Ishmaelites and this Palestinian confusion. That's just because of Abraham's

1069
01:03:04.559 --> 01:03:09.719
uh went out without faith. Somebody helped me preach.

1070
01:03:10.800 --> 01:03:11.679
Not only.

1071
01:03:13.079 --> 01:03:17.400
It's bad enough that you make decisions to stay away

1072
01:03:17.400 --> 01:03:21.760
from church because of circumstances we aught to shoot down.

1073
01:03:22.119 --> 01:03:24.519
Were not shooting by axplush, you said, But we are

1074
01:03:24.599 --> 01:03:27.199
to every one of these people that told us all

1075
01:03:27.199 --> 01:03:31.400
this stuff about COVID to stay out church, they're all knuckleheads.

1076
01:03:33.920 --> 01:03:36.360
No for crying out loud, I don't even know where

1077
01:03:36.360 --> 01:03:36.800
to begin this.

1078
01:03:36.880 --> 01:03:39.719
And now, wait, So the church is the source for

1079
01:03:39.800 --> 01:03:42.719
all this stuff, But you're the church, But you need

1080
01:03:42.760 --> 01:03:45.440
to come to church. But why do I need to

1081
01:03:45.480 --> 01:03:48.360
come to church if I'm the source of all of this? Oh,

1082
01:03:48.440 --> 01:03:52.119
and now everyone who said anything about COVID is a knucklehead,

1083
01:03:52.159 --> 01:03:56.880
because you know he knows more than all of those knuckleheads,

1084
01:03:56.920 --> 01:03:58.119
all those all those knuckles.

1085
01:03:58.119 --> 01:03:58.639
Hey uh.

1086
01:04:02.119 --> 01:04:09.599
Any, Okay, you know what you're saying now, Now I

1087
01:04:09.599 --> 01:04:12.039
know it's helping you afing, you're you know what you're

1088
01:04:12.039 --> 01:04:17.800
saying now, masks that ever helped you, all that stuff

1089
01:04:17.840 --> 01:04:18.360
ever helped you?

1090
01:04:20.519 --> 01:04:21.119
What's quiet?

1091
01:04:21.079 --> 01:04:21.639
Even here.

1092
01:04:23.039 --> 01:04:24.280
You said wild thoughts help me.

1093
01:04:26.239 --> 01:04:29.159
Oh so now we're gonna get into the stuff about mask.

1094
01:04:29.400 --> 01:04:37.280
Oh okay, this.

1095
01:04:37.159 --> 01:04:41.280
Is preaching, ladies and gentlemen. I'm just gonna stop there

1096
01:04:43.360 --> 01:04:44.719
because now I have to guess what.

1097
01:04:44.800 --> 01:04:46.559
I have to go look up and try to show

1098
01:04:46.559 --> 01:04:48.800
you what masks could and couldn't do. And all the

1099
01:04:49.800 --> 01:04:52.679
I worked in the medical world twenty two stinking years,

1100
01:04:52.679 --> 01:04:59.239
we use mask for all kinds of things. Okay, but okay,

1101
01:04:59.440 --> 01:05:05.119
oh man, so that's preaching. Everyone else is a knucklehead,

1102
01:05:05.400 --> 01:05:08.760
But he's not a knucklehead. No, they everyone else is

1103
01:05:08.800 --> 01:05:14.360
a knucklehead. Everyone else doesn't understand everyone else, but he understands.

1104
01:05:14.679 --> 01:05:18.679
Even though he just destroyed Genesis chapter twenty six beyond

1105
01:05:18.960 --> 01:05:22.119
any record, they can't even be recognized anymore. What he

1106
01:05:22.159 --> 01:05:25.679
did to Genesis twenty six, he utterly annihilated it, destroyed

1107
01:05:25.719 --> 01:05:32.679
it and the philological implications all over the place, and

1108
01:05:32.920 --> 01:05:34.559
AI predicted all of this.

1109
01:05:39.000 --> 01:05:40.559
AI predicted all of this.

1110
01:05:40.960 --> 01:05:43.760
AI gave me if I go here, if I go

1111
01:05:43.840 --> 01:05:49.280
all the way back up, AI gave me so much

1112
01:05:49.360 --> 01:05:51.320
stuff here, hang on, here we go.

1113
01:05:51.360 --> 01:05:53.880
AI gave me this is what AI said. If I

1114
01:05:53.920 --> 01:05:55.360
can go back, I got things.

1115
01:05:55.559 --> 01:05:57.760
Here's a list of questions and critiques you can use

1116
01:05:57.760 --> 01:06:01.440
to evaluate the sermon on Genesis twenty six Historical context?

1117
01:06:01.519 --> 01:06:04.119
Does the preacher explain the historical significance of wells in

1118
01:06:04.199 --> 01:06:07.679
Isaac's time as a source of life, wealth, and territorial claims?

1119
01:06:07.880 --> 01:06:09.239
No, he did not do that.

1120
01:06:09.360 --> 01:06:13.840
To any specificity. He may have mentioned it briefly, but nothing.

1121
01:06:13.880 --> 01:06:15.000
In any case.

1122
01:06:15.199 --> 01:06:17.880
Are the actions of the Philistines explained in their historical

1123
01:06:17.960 --> 01:06:21.840
contexts as a territorial or political dispute? Or are they

1124
01:06:21.920 --> 01:06:23.079
over spiritualized?

1125
01:06:23.159 --> 01:06:25.360
Well, guess what they do? They over spiritualize this.

1126
01:06:25.960 --> 01:06:28.800
Does the sermon address the author's intent and including this

1127
01:06:28.880 --> 01:06:32.480
account of Isaac's wells showing God's covenant, faithfulness to Isaac

1128
01:06:32.639 --> 01:06:35.440
and securing the land promised to Abraham. Not in anything

1129
01:06:35.440 --> 01:06:37.639
that we heard, he didn't do any of that. Is

1130
01:06:37.679 --> 01:06:41.039
there a clear explanation of the broader narrative within Genesis,

1131
01:06:41.079 --> 01:06:43.519
such as how the story fits into the covenant promises.

1132
01:06:43.880 --> 01:06:45.840
Absolutely, we didn't hear anything of that.

1133
01:06:46.239 --> 01:06:48.800
Are any words or phrases in the text taken out

1134
01:06:48.800 --> 01:06:52.639
of context or redefined to fit a spiritual allegorical meaning?

1135
01:06:52.840 --> 01:06:54.000
That's all the sermon was.

1136
01:06:54.320 --> 01:06:57.000
Does the preacher stay within the text of Genesis twenty

1137
01:06:57.000 --> 01:07:00.199
six or do they introduce unrelated passages or concept to

1138
01:07:00.239 --> 01:07:03.599
support their points that's all the sermon did. Does the

1139
01:07:03.639 --> 01:07:07.079
sermon emphasize God's faithfulness to his covenant never even spoken of?

1140
01:07:07.280 --> 01:07:09.840
Is there any acknowledgment of the philological significant of the

1141
01:07:09.880 --> 01:07:13.599
abem Covenant never even spoken of? Is Satan introduced into

1142
01:07:13.639 --> 01:07:16.880
the text without biblical support? Does the preacher provide evidence

1143
01:07:16.920 --> 01:07:19.159
for why the philistine's action should be interpreted as a

1144
01:07:19.199 --> 01:07:22.280
Satanic attack? How does the preacher balance the idea of

1145
01:07:22.320 --> 01:07:26.400
spiritual opposition with the text, historical and philological context. Are

1146
01:07:26.440 --> 01:07:29.559
the wells or Isaac himself presented as types of Christ

1147
01:07:29.639 --> 01:07:32.800
or Salvation without scriptural warrant? Is there a distinction made

1148
01:07:32.840 --> 01:07:37.199
between legitimate typology grounded in the text and speculative allegory.

1149
01:07:37.440 --> 01:07:40.400
I mean AI gave me everything to look for.

1150
01:07:40.800 --> 01:07:42.719
AI said the sermon is going to do all of

1151
01:07:42.719 --> 01:07:44.400
these things, and said look for this, and look for this,

1152
01:07:44.480 --> 01:07:47.320
and look for this. Every single thing AI says to

1153
01:07:47.360 --> 01:07:49.840
look for. The sermon did and AI was to do

1154
01:07:50.280 --> 01:07:52.719
did all of this within five seconds. And all it

1155
01:07:52.880 --> 01:07:57.679
needed was the title and the text and knew exactly the.

1156
01:07:57.599 --> 01:08:00.639
Train wreck it was going to be. AI. I predicted

1157
01:08:00.679 --> 01:08:07.360
it to the letter, and it goes on.

1158
01:08:07.760 --> 01:08:09.920
It probably gives me three more pages of things to

1159
01:08:09.960 --> 01:08:12.400
look for and consider and to be a to be

1160
01:08:12.599 --> 01:08:13.599
on the lookout for.

1161
01:08:14.800 --> 01:08:24.920
How does that even happen? I don't know what to say,

1162
01:08:25.039 --> 01:08:30.000
ladies and gentlemen. I don't know what to say. I'm reaching.

1163
01:08:31.079 --> 01:08:31.880
I'm reaching just.

1164
01:08:31.880 --> 01:08:34.520
An absolute breaking point, like I feel like I'm at

1165
01:08:34.520 --> 01:08:35.119
the tipping point.

1166
01:08:35.119 --> 01:08:35.920
I feel like I've been.

1167
01:08:35.840 --> 01:08:39.479
Pushed to the edge and there's nowhere else to go

1168
01:08:39.640 --> 01:08:43.159
except over the edge, over the ledge. There's nowhere else

1169
01:08:43.239 --> 01:08:45.319
to go. I don't know what else to say anymore.

1170
01:08:52.560 --> 01:08:55.720
I mean, I have not appreciated the sermon structure for

1171
01:08:55.840 --> 01:08:59.720
basically ten years now, maybe fifteen years now. I've had

1172
01:08:59.760 --> 01:09:03.319
issue use with it, and that that the sermon actually

1173
01:09:03.399 --> 01:09:05.800
keeps people from the text. So we're gonna get into

1174
01:09:05.880 --> 01:09:08.920
the actual text, and we're not gonna worry about philological allegiance.

1175
01:09:08.920 --> 01:09:10.479
We're just going to try to figure out the text,

1176
01:09:10.560 --> 01:09:14.720
figure out the text, and really started changing everything dramatically

1177
01:09:14.840 --> 01:09:17.439
because I was becoming so bothered and this is just

1178
01:09:17.479 --> 01:09:17.880
bringing it.

1179
01:09:17.960 --> 01:09:18.119
Now.

1180
01:09:18.159 --> 01:09:21.439
We have a tool that just within seconds can be

1181
01:09:21.560 --> 01:09:22.520
like what.

1182
01:09:22.279 --> 01:09:30.760
What what are you doing? What are you doing? I

1183
01:09:30.800 --> 01:09:35.439
could have right now, I could ask AI for an exegetical,

1184
01:09:35.600 --> 01:09:38.560
in depth study of Genesis twenty six and guess what

1185
01:09:38.560 --> 01:09:38.960
it would do.

1186
01:09:39.000 --> 01:09:50.720
It would break it down for me instantaneously. I don't,

1187
01:09:50.800 --> 01:09:51.520
I don't know.

1188
01:09:51.600 --> 01:09:53.079
How do you what do you do? How does this

1189
01:09:53.159 --> 01:09:54.640
make you feel? What does it do for you?

1190
01:09:54.680 --> 01:09:57.199
How do you how does it? How does this impact you?

1191
01:09:57.800 --> 01:10:00.439
It can't just be me who just has reached kind

1192
01:10:00.439 --> 01:10:03.439
of like just I'm just exhausted over it. I just

1193
01:10:03.479 --> 01:10:05.600
don't know what to say or do anymore.

1194
01:10:06.520 --> 01:10:10.119
I just don't. I give up. I just I give up.

1195
01:10:10.119 --> 01:10:11.399
I literally I just give up.

1196
01:10:19.119 --> 01:10:25.039
I just don't know how to process this anymore. And

1197
01:10:25.119 --> 01:10:27.039
I know that that sermon right there, the way he

1198
01:10:27.079 --> 01:10:29.760
handled Genesis twenty six, It's been handled that way fifty

1199
01:10:29.800 --> 01:10:32.479
million times. I don't I can't even tell you how

1200
01:10:32.479 --> 01:10:36.600
many sermons I've heard on Genesis twenty six, I've seen

1201
01:10:36.640 --> 01:10:37.960
it in books, I've heard it.

1202
01:10:39.680 --> 01:10:42.279
The well. You got to redig your well. The well

1203
01:10:42.479 --> 01:10:43.680
is your source of spirit?

1204
01:10:44.159 --> 01:10:47.680
What it just and logically it all falls apart again,

1205
01:10:47.840 --> 01:10:54.680
So what's the source? Can Satan plug up? Stop God

1206
01:10:54.760 --> 01:11:00.479
as being the source of refreshment, revival, peace? The whole

1207
01:11:00.479 --> 01:11:08.760
thing just falls completely apart. Yes, oh man, I give up.

1208
01:11:08.840 --> 01:11:13.439
Thanks for listening. Everyone, have a I was gonna say,

1209
01:11:13.439 --> 01:11:15.119
if you want to have a good day, just don't

1210
01:11:15.119 --> 01:11:18.520
listen to any sermons. Okay, then that's sad to kind

1211
01:11:18.520 --> 01:11:21.359
of that's where you kind of get yourself too. I

1212
01:11:21.479 --> 01:11:23.439
know that's not fair and that's not an, you know,

1213
01:11:23.479 --> 01:11:26.760
an accurate thing to say, but sometimes I mean, look,

1214
01:11:26.880 --> 01:11:33.439
we're January the thirteenth, and so far, every time we've

1215
01:11:33.479 --> 01:11:37.640
put Ai with a sermon, what has been the end result?

1216
01:11:37.960 --> 01:11:39.279
Every single time?

1217
01:11:45.520 --> 01:11:47.279
Have a good day.
