  Speaker 1: Gospel Reflection for the 26th day of October in the
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: year of our Lord, 2026. This is from the Gospel
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: of Luke, chapter 13, verses 10 through 17. And he
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: was teaching in their synagogue on the Sabbath. And behold,
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: there was a woman who had a spirit of infirmity,
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: 18 years, and she was bowed together, neither could she
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: look upwards at all. Whom when Jesus saw, he called
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: her unto him and said to her, Woman, thou art
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: delivered from thy infirmity. And he laid hands upon her,
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: and immediately she was made straight and glorified God. And
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: the ruler of the synagogue, being angry that Jesus had
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: healed on the Sabbath, answering, said to the multitude, Six
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: days there are wherein you ought to work. In them, therefore,
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: come and be healed, and not on the Sabbath day.
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: And the Lord answering said, Ye hypocrites, doth not every
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: one of you on the Sabbath day loose his ox
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: or his ass from the manger and lead them to water?
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: And ought not this daughter of Abraham, whom Satan hath Bound, lo,
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: these eighteen years be loosed from this bond on the
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: Sabbath day. And when he said these things, all his
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: adversaries were ashamed. And the people rejoiced for all things
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: that were gloriously done by him. For all the things
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: that were gloriously done by him. So again, we see
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: the lack of compassion that was the result of the
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: Mosaic Law. The law was not bad in itself, quite
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: the opposite. The Bible makes clear that the law was
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: the salvation of the Jews. And it is praised as
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: the word of God. It may be hard for us
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: to understand now just how barbaric and savage the ancient
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: world was. The law of the Jews was not just
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: the regulations of their religion. It also allowed them to
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: live in relative peace and safety. Recently I was debating
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: with a pagan who took issue with the law saying
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: that the God of the Jews and Christians authorized slavery.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: I pointed out to him that all peoples on earth
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: for millennia practiced slavery. The remarkable aspect of the Mosaic
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: Law was codifying basic human rights for slaves. This was
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: absolutely revolutionary in the ancient world. Every other tribe, slaves
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: were considered as mere property. They could be used, abused, tortured,
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: killed with no penalty. But the Hebrews, at least, viewed
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: slaves as human. Now, sure, it would have been ideal
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: if God, through Moses, had forbidden slavery, but humanity was
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: really not yet to that point. Slavery was a fact
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: of life. In the Middle Ages, the so-called Dark Ages,
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: according to modernists, the Catholic Church did indeed forbid slavery.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: It was the concept of the nation-state that was introduced
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: by Protestantism that brought slavery back through colonialism. Kings no
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: longer submitted to the rule of the Church. Even then,
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: the Catholic Church demanded that Christians treat slaves with at
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: least a basic level of humanity. But no longer being
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: under the rule of the Pope, most refused and did
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: as they pleased. The Dark Ages were far more humane
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: in terms of human rights than the so-called Enlightenment. While
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: we're taught that mankind is progressing towards some modernist secular ideal,
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: that's far from the truth. We've been falling back into
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: ignorance and barbarism since the Protestant so-called Reformation. Until the
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: world submits to the Catholic Church, the head of which
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: is Jesus Christ, humanity We'll live in ignorance, error, violence,
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: and evil. It's not enough to obey. We must... Let
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: me try that again. It's not enough to believe. We
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: must obey. Jesus said, if you love me, you will
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: keep my commandments. And what are the highest commandments of God?
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: Love God with all your heart and love your neighbor
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: as yourself. You can't love your neighbor as yourself and,
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: you know, treat someone... as a slave or as an item,
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: an object to be used. So, it's not enough to believe,
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: we must obey. Y'all have a good one, and I'll
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: talk to you tomorrow.
