- 0:17Speaker 1: Somebody's gonna have to pace resting up the worlse man.
- 0:24Speaker 1: Somebody's gotta pay face, somebody's gotta sign the face. What's
- 0:31Speaker 1: the that one in your moming You not the sad face?
- 0:45Speaker 1: What's the love? Wine? And all your money to some
- 0:57Speaker 1: build five? Hey? How you doing out there? This is
- 1:40Speaker 1: Bib Bib Blues and the news come in directly from Atlanta, Georgia,
- 1:45Speaker 1: a little toone called to build Paradise. And yeah, that's
- 1:49Speaker 1: what we're all about, man uh bibe. Like I said,
- 1:52Speaker 1: Bob and Bis Blues in the news, and I'm here
- 1:56Speaker 1: to try to help you build paradise. But a little
- 2:00Speaker 1: two I'm working on. So talking about paradise, you know,
- 2:08Speaker 1: depending on what religion you're in, you might have, addition,
- 2:13Speaker 1: a different view of paradise from my understanding of paradise.
- 2:21Speaker 1: Of course, you know, this is something sort of nebulous,
- 2:25Speaker 1: something mysterious, something really can't be sure of. Even though
- 2:33Speaker 1: there are some people who have claimed to have died,
- 2:36Speaker 1: gone to having to come back and told us about it. Now,
- 2:38Speaker 1: I don't know how true that is, and that this
- 2:41Speaker 1: may be a subconscious dream they had and they thought
- 2:46Speaker 1: it was reality, or whether it was real. But there
- 2:49Speaker 1: are some pretty phenomenal occurrences where they say things that
- 2:58Speaker 1: after they come back that normally they would not know,
- 3:02Speaker 1: like what people were doing after they passed in the room,
- 3:05Speaker 1: but they died yet and they saw these people doing
- 3:08Speaker 1: certain things, and you know, they were dead, yet they
- 3:12Speaker 1: came back to life and could tell you exactly what
- 3:15Speaker 1: those people were doing at that time they were supposed
- 3:18Speaker 1: to be dead. So interesting stuff, you know. So anyway,
- 3:25Speaker 1: but what I was really wanted to talk about since
- 3:29Speaker 1: we're talking about a lot today about Iran and Islam
- 3:35Speaker 1: and how they want to destroy the Christians and the
- 3:37Speaker 1: Jews and all the end quote non believers, because if
- 3:44Speaker 1: you're a Christian or a Buddhist or Judas Jew of whatever.
- 3:51Speaker 1: Judas remember that story, right, I don't want to get
- 3:58Speaker 1: into that story. Uh, but you know, we all There's
- 4:02Speaker 1: the way I see it, There's more than one road
- 4:04Speaker 1: to heaven, okay. And I don't think one religion should
- 4:11Speaker 1: tell somebody else that they've got to follow their religion
- 4:15Speaker 1: to be saved, to go to heaven, to be righteous,
- 4:18Speaker 1: because there are many roads to heaven. There are many
- 4:22Speaker 1: roads to the divine. So if you are a Christian,
- 4:30Speaker 1: you believe, oh you gotta believe in Jesus. If you
- 4:31Speaker 1: don't believe in Jesus, you go to help. Whereas if
- 4:35Speaker 1: you're Jewish, anybody could be righteous basically as long as
- 4:39Speaker 1: you follow certain principles, like believing in one God. In fact,
- 4:46Speaker 1: there are some laws called the Noah had laws, like
- 4:49Speaker 1: seven laws, basic laws, but based you know, don't steal,
- 4:53Speaker 1: be moral, you know, don't lie in cheat, you know,
- 4:57Speaker 1: basic stuff, and and believe in one God. And it's
- 5:02Speaker 1: a good chance you'll make it to happen. And you
- 5:03Speaker 1: don't have to be Jewish because Jews don't really want
- 5:05Speaker 1: you to convert because it's difficult, and they want people
- 5:10Speaker 1: that are really more serious if they convert, you know,
- 5:17Speaker 1: you have to be serious, I mean into the Orthodox
- 5:21Speaker 1: religion anyway of Judaism. And why do it? Because once
- 5:27Speaker 1: you convert to Judaism and become a Jew, then you
- 5:31Speaker 1: got all these attacks automatically. So I did it because,
- 5:36Speaker 1: for various reasons, I found it intellectually, more inspiring, more
- 5:42Speaker 1: closer to the truth, and more fulfilling inspirationally. Of course,
- 5:51Speaker 1: my wife is Jewish as well, she was born Jewish,
- 5:54Speaker 1: so that's probably a big part of it as well.
- 5:57Speaker 1: But you don't have to convert if you you know,
- 6:01Speaker 1: two could basically be a righteous person in the theology
- 6:09Speaker 1: of Judaism. But when you talk about Islam, this this is,
- 6:15Speaker 1: this is a problem. Even though Christians say you have
- 6:19Speaker 1: to believe in Jesus in order to go to Heaven,
- 6:21Speaker 1: they a lot of Christians today, especially among the Protestants, believe.
- 6:25Speaker 1: And they're the ones who are less so called Zionists Christians,
- 6:30Speaker 1: the ones that Tucker calls in the can and someone's
- 6:32Speaker 1: hate because more or less they they believe like Hucklebee,
- 6:37Speaker 1: like you know, who's the ambassador where the governor of Arkansas,
- 6:42Speaker 1: his daughter's good the governor now and now he's the
- 6:44Speaker 1: ambassador uh to the United the United States ambassador Israel,
- 6:51Speaker 1: and he's a Zionist Christian. And there's a lot of
- 6:54Speaker 1: Jist Christians like him who support Israel. And even though
- 7:00Speaker 1: they're not going to walk away from their regions per se,
- 7:04Speaker 1: but they have reached an understanding, a theological understanding that
- 7:09Speaker 1: Jews and Christians are very similar, have similar principles, and
- 7:14Speaker 1: that there's no shouldn't be any animosity between the two religions.
- 7:20Speaker 1: I mean one came from the other. Basically, I mean
- 7:24Speaker 1: Christianity is just a reform version of Judaism. Yeah, you
- 7:29Speaker 1: have the question about Jesus. I'm not going to get
- 7:31Speaker 1: into that story, but basically it's founded on the Ten
- 7:37Speaker 1: Commandments and Jewish law, and Jesus himself said he didn't
- 7:41Speaker 1: want to change the law, and he was Jewish and
- 7:44Speaker 1: he went to the synagogue. He didn't go to the church.
- 7:46Speaker 1: He went to the synagogue, and he knew the Torah
- 7:50Speaker 1: and he knew how to read Hebrew, etc. Etc. So
- 7:54Speaker 1: there's a big connection. But in Islam they think that's
- 7:58Speaker 1: a new revelation. And then you had the two big secs,
- 8:02Speaker 1: the Sunnis in the CI, and that's quite a big
- 8:07Speaker 1: difference between the two. And it seemed from I understand,
- 8:10Speaker 1: and I got this from a podcast I was listening
- 8:13Speaker 1: to recently, Modehai Kadar. I believe it was his name,
- 8:20Speaker 1: professor and journalist and speaker about Islam, because he speaks
- 8:29Speaker 1: Arabic well, Israeli Jewish. He worked for a long time
- 8:36Speaker 1: in the service, probably Mosad because he as an analyst
- 8:43Speaker 1: and a policymaker or whatever. Because he knows the Arabs
- 8:48Speaker 1: very very well and he was saying on this podcast
- 8:51Speaker 1: that the Shi'a are in some ways a lot more
- 8:57Speaker 1: dangerous than the Sunni, even though they both believe and
- 9:04Speaker 1: you know, getting rid of the Heathens, which are the
- 9:06Speaker 1: Christians and the Jews and fighting jihad that sha I
- 9:11Speaker 1: really believe that they are destined to bring the twelfth Emon,
- 9:18Speaker 1: the Moody. I believe the twelfth Imon the Mooday is
- 9:24Speaker 1: something like that the Massiah, their Messiah, and that in
- 9:31Speaker 1: order to do that, they don't mind spreading chaos and
- 9:34Speaker 1: they wouldn't mind exploding atomic bomb because they believe God
- 9:38Speaker 1: is on their side and they're destined, whether they win
- 9:43Speaker 1: this war, current war or not, they are destined eventually
- 9:46Speaker 1: to bring the twelfth Emon, their Messiah, into the world,
- 9:53Speaker 1: and to do that they first have to destroy all
- 9:57Speaker 1: the non believers me and you where the Sunni they
- 10:04Speaker 1: believe in jihad, but they're more focused on getting their
- 10:07Speaker 1: sevent two versions or getting a good place in heaven
- 10:11Speaker 1: by killing the Heathen, and they don't talk too much
- 10:13Speaker 1: about the Messiah the twelve few months. So in that way, though,
- 10:20Speaker 1: both can be dangerous if there's zealous and ghaists, and
- 10:26Speaker 1: are even more dangerous than the Sunni. So you have
- 10:31Speaker 1: to deal in theology when you talk about geopolitics today.
- 10:35Speaker 1: If you don't talk about the theology, you're losing a
- 10:41Speaker 1: lot of the information. You're not communicating everything that needs
- 10:47Speaker 1: to be communicated, because basically what we're we're in a
- 10:51Speaker 1: religious war. And their culture caution that's given Hubad, which
- 10:55Speaker 1: is some people say it's a sect of Judaism, but
- 10:58Speaker 1: they do a lot of good. I'll call him or
- 11:00Speaker 1: less the salvation Army of Judaism because they go out
- 11:04Speaker 1: and do a lot of outreach. They are not so judgmental,
- 11:08Speaker 1: you know, they're open to everybody more or less. And
- 11:11Speaker 1: then you had Robbi Schneerson who passed away over twenty
- 11:15Speaker 1: years ago, but he was a big figure in Hbad.
- 11:19Speaker 1: A lot of people knew him outside of the Jewish
- 11:22Speaker 1: world as a very benevolent, kind soul. He went around
- 11:27Speaker 1: doing good. He went around giving out dollar bills if
- 11:29Speaker 1: you're old enough to remember that, and given people blessings
- 11:34Speaker 1: and Taker Carlson was screaming and shouting and I didn't
- 11:38Speaker 1: I can't listen to him anymore. But from what I
- 11:40Speaker 1: understand about the Third Temple and that Habad was behind
- 11:44Speaker 1: this push to bring the Third Temple, you know, because
- 11:50Speaker 1: in Judaism we've had two temples both destroyed, won by
- 11:56Speaker 1: the Babylonians about two thousand, five million years ag go,
- 12:00Speaker 1: and then the second Old Story by the Romans about
- 12:03Speaker 1: two thousand years ago. And so the Jews do believe
- 12:07Speaker 1: that in the end days there will be a third Temple.
- 12:11Speaker 1: In fact, if you read Ezekiel, and that's a book
- 12:14Speaker 1: that even Christians read, there is a whole portion of
- 12:19Speaker 1: that book from the prophet Ezekiel that gives you the
- 12:23Speaker 1: exact dimensions descriptions of the Third Temple. So it is
- 12:26Speaker 1: very much a part of the theology of Judaism. And
- 12:33Speaker 1: it's not saying that we've got to destroy the world
- 12:36Speaker 1: or whatever before we can, like like the Shei, before
- 12:40Speaker 1: we can bring the Third Temple. That this is something
- 12:42Speaker 1: that God will bring about in due time and it's
- 12:47Speaker 1: really beyond our hands, even though a lot of Jews
- 12:50Speaker 1: would like to see the Third Temple built, because you know,
- 12:54Speaker 1: when the Third Temple is built, we know we are
- 12:57Speaker 1: in the Messianic age, the age of the Messiah. But
- 13:06Speaker 1: it's theology, you know what I mean. And the Jews
- 13:09Speaker 1: are not violent people, they're very peaceful. All they want
- 13:13Speaker 1: to do basically is live a righteous life and get
- 13:15Speaker 1: try to get close to God. But they do believe
- 13:18Speaker 1: their purpose on earth is to be more like the
- 13:21Speaker 1: priest among the Nasans. Not that your religion or your
- 13:26Speaker 1: belief is any superior than ours, but we do have
- 13:31Speaker 1: a more direct contact with the divine And it was
- 13:36Speaker 1: God's will that the Jews have Israel and that they'd
- 13:40Speaker 1: become this light upon the nations and today set an
- 13:43Speaker 1: example for others, a moral example. Not to do it
- 13:48Speaker 1: through violence or from killing or whatever, or for forcing
- 13:52Speaker 1: people to confer it or whatever, but just by being
- 13:54Speaker 1: an example. So that's the difference between Judaism and Islam
- 14:00Speaker 1: and Christianity. I mean, Christianity is not so violent today
- 14:03Speaker 1: as it was before, like during the Middle Ages when
- 14:07Speaker 1: you know, they got very political. But then you had
- 14:10Speaker 1: the Partisant Reformation and the Christians sort of chilled out
- 14:15Speaker 1: more and got away from the politics. And that's why
- 14:20Speaker 1: some of the Catholics are still very adamantly against Judaism
- 14:26Speaker 1: and hate Jews, especially the Zealots, the traditionalists who who
- 14:33Speaker 1: hate what happened uh doing the Second Vatican. I think
- 14:38Speaker 1: it was back in the sixties, was it John Paul?
- 14:42Speaker 1: Look at what Pope put Anyway, there was a conference
- 14:46Speaker 1: of bishops in the Vatican and then they agreed that
- 14:49Speaker 1: the Jews cannot be held reliable for the death of Jesus.
- 14:56Speaker 1: And one thing is that, you know, the people Jews
- 14:58Speaker 1: to day, you know, they lived two thousand years after
- 15:02Speaker 1: the event, so you know, even there was some kind
- 15:05Speaker 1: of guilt, why do they have to pay for that guilt?
- 15:09Speaker 1: And the whole I mean, you can get out into
- 15:10Speaker 1: the whole story about who was Jesus and you know, yeah,
- 15:16Speaker 1: and a lot of people think he was God. Some
- 15:19Speaker 1: people say he was just a very righteous rabbi who
- 15:24Speaker 1: Paul made into some kind of God. So they are
- 15:28Speaker 1: all kinds of denominations, sex movements to worship Jesus or
- 15:42Speaker 1: not to worship Jesus. And you know, so it varies
- 15:47Speaker 1: depending on what church you go to. And it's a
- 15:50Speaker 1: little bit like that in Judaism, and it's probably like
- 15:52Speaker 1: that in Islam too, because in Judaism you have conservative
- 15:55Speaker 1: reform and Orthodox. Of course, the Orthodox is the most conservative.
- 16:02Speaker 1: Whether the Orthodox think about Jesus, they don't really mention them,
- 16:06Speaker 1: they don't they don't. It doesn't become a factor. Some
- 16:10Speaker 1: people always they say terrible things about Jesus in the Talmud, Well,
- 16:14Speaker 1: there is mention of I mean, Jesus was a very
- 16:17Speaker 1: popular name in the day. And Yeshua, I mean there
- 16:27Speaker 1: is a say is a letter pronouncia. You couldn't pronounce
- 16:32Speaker 1: jay back in the day. So it's Yushia. It's the
- 16:37Speaker 1: Hebrew name, and a lot of people were named that.
- 16:42Speaker 1: So you know a lot of Jews who were crucified
- 16:45Speaker 1: by the Romans, probably over two hundred thousand. I heard
- 16:48Speaker 1: the number two hundred thousand Jews were crucified by the Romans,
- 16:51Speaker 1: and I imagine a lot of those Jews had the
- 16:53Speaker 1: name Yeshua. So you know what you shoa are you
- 16:56Speaker 1: talking about? And the shoe that's mentioned in the Talmud
- 17:01Speaker 1: doesn't happen, It doesn't take place at the same time
- 17:07Speaker 1: Jesus was alive. So you can't mix the two. You know,
- 17:13Speaker 1: you can't mix apples and peers. But I'm miss saying
- 17:18Speaker 1: generally speaking that you have to consider all these theological
- 17:23Speaker 1: points when you talk geopolitics today, because all the forces
- 17:29Speaker 1: at play have some kind of religious background. Uh Tucker Carlson,
- 17:37Speaker 1: he's I think he's Catholic, uh and he's anti Zionist
- 17:43Speaker 1: and he's very heavy into traditionalists Christianity on the Catholic side,
- 17:51Speaker 1: and Canice Owens as well. Mel Gibson is another. So
- 17:56Speaker 1: they come from from their religious even though are they
- 17:59Speaker 1: really a religious I don't know, but you know, it
- 18:07Speaker 1: shapes your theology, shapes the way you think. But you
- 18:12Speaker 1: have to look at all the theologies together. Everybody needs
- 18:15Speaker 1: to do take a course in comparative religions. They used
- 18:20Speaker 1: to offer those courses a lot, a fair objective course,
- 18:26Speaker 1: not a woke course, not a revisionist course, but a
- 18:31Speaker 1: true look at religion in fact. And maybe in my
- 18:38Speaker 1: next life I'll become a teacher of that because it's
- 18:42Speaker 1: always sort of fascinated me. But it shapes the way
- 18:45Speaker 1: people think and act and to think. The theology of
- 18:50Speaker 1: the s I have caused these people to become demons,
- 18:58Speaker 1: demonic and barbarians in their actions, you know, because of
- 19:09Speaker 1: what they believe. And nothing's going to change the way
- 19:14Speaker 1: they believe. I mean, you know, you can, you can
- 19:15Speaker 1: take down the regime. And I ran as long as
- 19:17Speaker 1: there's one she left. He believes that he has God's
- 19:22Speaker 1: permission to do everything he can to bring the Twelfth
- 19:25Speaker 1: Email back there, Messiah back the earth, come on. So
- 19:33Speaker 1: it's just it's fascinating to see how religions shape a
- 19:38Speaker 1: person's personality, philosophy, and whole way of being, you know.
- 19:45Speaker 1: So if you're going to choose your religion, I choose
- 19:49Speaker 1: one that's a lot of love and peace in it,
- 19:52Speaker 1: not so much hate. That's all I got to say today. Anyway,
- 19:56Speaker 1: it's Bob's Bob's Blues in the news, and I'll just
- 19:58Speaker 1: go out with my tune I've been working on, uh
- 20:02Speaker 1: yeah to Bill Paradise, So have a going love you all.
- 21:01Speaker 1: I consider what was
