1:03
refreshment. Ron Edwards. Good day, good day, Hello, and how
1:36
are you. I'm Ron Edwards and welcome to the Run Edwards American Experience.
1:40
There is his Faith Day, and we welcome one and all to join us
1:44
from throughout America and around the world. And thank you for tuning in.
1:48
Of course, we're being brought to you by Constitutional Grounds to coffee you want
1:52
in your cup. Got a great guest today, surprise, very very good
1:59
minister and a good guy overall. And I'm going to be talking with him
2:02
and just a bit. But in the meantime, in between times, my
2:07
friends, Prayers go out for the folks of New York and joys and boy,
2:15
yeah, they had a real little, kind of a real shake up
2:17
this morning. Earthquake epicenter of the New York City New Jersey earthquake Man Trump
2:27
a national golf club. You know, Trump said that the ground shook very
2:30
hard, and man four point eight magnitude surprised many locals in the process.
2:39
And well they didn't say that in the end times, there's going to be
2:44
earthquakes in diverse places. And so you know, my producer Doug says,
2:50
it's all those illegals in New York City stomping their feet. Well, that's
2:54
probably a contributory factor. I won't deny that, sir. But anyway,
3:02
you know, lots of crazy things are going on, lots of crazy things
3:07
in all seriousness, amongst the most crazy things. You know. For some
3:14
time I have expressed disappointment feelings ranging from disappointment to disdain for one Mike Johnson,
3:23
the Speaker of the US House. And the reason why is because in
3:29
a sense I have less respect for him than I do for Uncle Joe Biden.
3:34
And the reason why is because Uncle Joe Biden is who he is.
3:37
He's been a Communist an evil supporter ever since he first got in office in
3:45
nineteen seventy two, and he's never changed his stripes. You have someone like
3:52
Mike Johnson, Big Mike Johnson, right, oh, little Mikey actually,
3:59
and he is for years been touting himself as a believer in our Constitution,
4:02
follower of Christ, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. And since
4:09
he became speaker, the guy has been just awful. He has been just
4:14
as liberal or left leaning as Kevin McCarthy and any Democrat you can name.
4:21
He just approved the the biggest and the worst spending bill in US history.
4:28
And by the way, when it's fully implemented, it's going to be a
4:32
big problem. When this bill goes into full operation, it's not going to
4:38
be pretty. Folks. You think things are going bad now economically, you
4:44
just wait. Well, and I have privately questioned, is mister Johnson under
4:51
someone's thumb? Does somebody have something on him? What's going on here?
4:58
How can you be one way even lead prayers in the House of Congress and
5:04
speak of all the wonderful things about your faith in Jesus and all of that,
5:09
and then you turn around and do what you've done, mister little Mikey
5:15
Johnson, and so proving that great minds think alike. Representative Marjorie Taylor Green
5:24
aired speculative concerns regarding Speaker Mike Johnson's recent political actions, suggesting a potential blackmail
5:31
situation to explain what she perceives as a radical departure from his known conservative and
5:38
Christian stances. Now, Marjorie Taylor Green doesn't know me from Adam. We've
5:47
never had a conversation, but yet we come to the same thought that someone
5:53
has something on this guy. And she says, suggesting a potential blame male
6:00
situation. And see, this is why I could go all the way back
6:06
to my childhood when my dad would talk to me about a righteous standard and
6:12
how you have to have if you get into the public arena and you stand
6:16
up or you present yourself as one who stands up for what is right,
6:21
YadA, YadA, then that means your background has to be clean too,
6:26
so that no one can come to you and say, you know what,
6:29
if you don't stab all those in the back that you who have supported you,
6:33
you don't come to the dark side. We're going to pull this out
6:38
and we're going to tell the world that you did this and such and such
6:40
twenty years ago or whatever. This is. This is sad stuff and it
6:47
must be true. Or because I've thought two things. It's possible that someone
6:55
has something on them. But I've also thought that, you know, like
6:58
many people that run around saying that they're Christian, the follows of Christ,
7:02
even some ministers, when all they're doing is trying to lead people to hell
7:08
and economically, mister Johnson is trying to lead America to Hell in a handbasket.
7:15
And he made a complete departure from who he has led us to believe
7:18
what he is. Because you remember when he was first appointed as speaker.
7:23
When he became speaker, I was all happy, oh wow, because he
7:27
was saying all the right things. He was at first seemingly he was speaking
7:32
about doing the right things, okay, And so yeah, I thought,
7:36
boy, we got rid of Kevin McCarthy Bamo, things are going to turn
7:42
around. No, they got worse. They got worse. He posted a
7:48
bill that was worse than what even nasty Pelosi had wanted to do. And
7:56
see, this is very dangerous. This represents a very clear and press in
8:00
danger that our nation faces today. Not only do we have to be concerned
8:03
about those who are openly on the dark side, but we also have to
8:11
use our desernment and become more wise when it comes to choosing those who say,
8:18
hey, I stand for what is right well for me, and I'll
8:22
set you free, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera. We need more decernment than
8:28
any other time in our American history. I'm going to see what our guests
8:33
today thinks about that. Yeah, because this this, I have to say,
8:43
it's really I know I seem stuck on this thing, but it's almost
8:46
heartbreaking. It represents well. Hopefully the result of what he has passed doesn't
8:56
come to fruition. Then you will understand why I seem stuck on this the
9:03
economic disaster that this thing is going to open the door to. And this
9:09
is why we've got to be more simplified in our in our approach to things
9:16
when it comes to the simplicity and purity of devotion to Christ, so that
9:20
people will know you by your true character and you won't be you know,
9:28
you won't be a fake. You won't be fooling people, and we won't
9:33
be fooled by you if you're trying to fool us. Because I have to
9:37
admit I was fooled, and rarely am I fooled. But Mikey, little
9:43
Mikey, you got me that time. But I tell you what, if
9:48
we the people stand together and we do the right thing, little Mikey,
9:52
you will will pay the price for this, for what you have done to
9:56
this republic. I'm Ron Edwards and We'll be right back on this faith.

13:16
Edwards and thanks so much for tuning in on this Faith Day edition. And
13:20
our guest today is Austin Craigs and we'll be in conversation with him in just
13:26
a moment. But you know, in the United States of America today,
13:30
most of the people who attend are denominational and mega churches and religious religious systems
13:35
are being, in my opinion, led astray from the ways of Jesus Christ
13:39
by deceitful spirits and doctrines of demons. In addition, our religious systems are
13:45
being defined by Constantine of the third century. Now he corrupted Christianity or the
13:52
followers of Christ, as we're promptly defined as followers of the Word with his
13:58
changes, and we are still practicing many of his traditions. Today. We
14:01
are in a big spiritual trouble, big Heapham trouble in this republic turned mobocracy.
14:09
And if we ever hope to have a move of God and our nation,
14:11
we have to make a significant change back to the ways of Christ.
14:16
I mean, Christ has to recognize his people. If his people are running
14:20
around like roaches, acting like whatever, being deceived all the time, like
14:28
many of us were deceived by little Mikey, I mean, that's that's that's
14:33
pretty that's pretty bad stuff. And there are many deceivers amongst us. They're
14:41
called tears. And anyway, let's welcome our guest pastor, Austin Crates,
14:48
and welcome to the run Edwards American experience. How are you, sir,
14:52
I'm well, and thank you for the opportunity to be with you today.
14:58
Thank you, you know. I'm remind of the verse Tewod Corinthians eleven to
15:03
three, which says, but I am afraid less as the serpent deceived eve
15:09
by his craftiness, Your minds should be led astray from the simplicity and purity
15:15
of devotion to Christ. And I think, sir, that that kind of
15:20
describes our country today. In many ways we are deceived people, even many
15:26
among many amongst us who are followers of the word can be deceived, as
15:33
I was with Mikey Johnson, our speaker, and so no one is immune
15:37
to this art of deception of the enemy, whether he's those who claim to
15:43
be Christ of Christ rather or those who are not. What say you,
15:50
well, We're definitely in a period of disinformation and disorientation, and no greater
15:56
example of that can be given except for the COVID hopes that we experienced,
16:03
where we were being told various points of information, for instance, like mask
16:07
wearing would help you in the well community more or less of the virus,
16:15
where in truth, if you look at the box and when it says not
16:18
to be used for our viole, you know, for prevention, for viral
16:23
prevention, and the same thing was true with like the vaccine. So we're
16:30
getting inundated with the media that has its prime source from two sources, where
16:36
everybody else balls in line, and it's become more of a propaganda than it
16:41
is actually the protection of the people and the information for the people to make
16:45
the decisions about their republic, not democracy. But I agree with you and
16:52
the other aspect of this, if we want to go into more of the
16:56
ecclesiastical or church realm, is that we have a lot of people that are
17:00
trying to attract people with various programs and things, but are very bleak on
17:07
biblical content because they don't want to offend anybody. And so you have a
17:12
lot of secret, sensitive churches that attract a lot of people but are very
17:17
low on discipleship. And the end of results of that through studies that people
17:22
have done that after about two or three years of sitting at a few in
17:26
a church like that, people look for a place where they can get deeper
17:30
teaching and a more of a biblical perspective and a biblical worldview. You know,
17:37
that reminds me of one of the Founding Fathers who said, if you
17:41
don't know your rights, you don't have any and if you don't know the
17:45
Word of God, you won't have that knowledge that you need for your protection
17:51
and for the furtherance of the Gospel in the world. And thus you have
17:56
what you see today in our country and in Great Britain and Australian. Throughout
18:00
the world, you see this rapid deterioration amongst the so called Western nations.
18:07
And they in many cases, whether it's among the churches or elsewhere, they
18:15
seem to be gleefully marching in this wrong direction. We keep getting, in
18:19
my opinion, what are called warning signs. Back up, turn around,
18:23
turn from your stupid, wicked ways. And I think God has been very
18:29
merciful, especially to this nation. But you know, in many cases,
18:34
you know, all good things come to an end, and I think we
18:38
could be reaching the end of God's patients. What say you, Well,
18:44
let's take a little bit of an example from England in the seventeen hundreds.
18:48
The thing that saved England from an outright civil war revolution was the fact that
18:55
you had the John Wesley's and the Whitfield and others that were revivalists George Whitfield
19:06
was basically an outcast in the eyes of the Church of England. And so
19:10
what you had was you had a man that was Oxford educated. By the
19:15
way his life is fascinating, we don't really have time to go into it.
19:21
But the churches wouldn't allow him to preach in their facilities, and so
19:26
Whitfield went out to what would be considered the lower part of society, the
19:30
co workers, and he would preach in the fields. Not two hundreds,
19:36
but two thousands, sometimes up to ten thousand people would hear him preach.
19:41
And it was through the preaching of the Whitfields and the Wesleys and others that
19:45
England was saved of a bloody revolution. And I think that we're coming into
19:49
the same situation here today. You know, we're in a situation where the
19:56
pastor in the pulpit has one or two things. Either he's going to cower
20:03
and not treach the word and try to satisfy people and allow them to be
20:08
exposed to moralistic therapeutic deism, which is a nice way of saying I'm not
20:14
going to give you anything offensive. I'm just going to tell you you're a
20:17
great person, and sadly to say, a lot of churches have fallen into
20:22
that trap. But compare that to the other type of pastor that is biblically
20:26
found, has a biblical worldview and is not there to pacify you, but
20:32
to bring the truth of God into your life and discipleship. And he'll pay
20:37
the cost regardless. He'll pay the cost because he knows that there is a
20:41
higher judge that will judge him for all the teaching that he does and how
20:47
he handles the congregation. Now, I have to admit those type of pastors
20:52
today are more of a rarity. My hope is in the youth, because
20:59
we have a lot of youth that are questioning the church because they never get
21:03
their answers. I'm sorry, the questions to their answers. And I believe
21:08
we're going to see a reawakening that will take place in our youth and they
21:14
will be sold out and there will be a national revival. At least that's
21:17
my hope that we will have a national revival, because it's the only thing
21:22
that's going to keep us from going down the path that we're going down right
21:26
now. Absolutely, you mentioned Wesley when we were in England a few years
21:30
ago, we went to one of the in fact more than one of the
21:36
spots where he actually prayed, i mean preached, and one was in an
21:41
area where they were did their mining. And it's a huge circle, and
21:45
the people used to sit in this giant circle which was dug out, and
21:52
in fact the lectern still stands there today and you could still feel the impact
22:00
literally of the truth that was spoken there many many years ago. And so
22:06
you bring back a huge history lesson that we saw up closed there just a
22:11
few years ago. But uh, you're right, the youth. But the
22:17
thing is, though, the youth are very dissatisfied with with with our society
22:22
today, and rightfully so. And it is my prayer that enough of them
22:26
are being told enough of the truth where their curiosity, their youthful curiosity,
22:34
will carry them into a deeper search and bring about what you hope to happen
22:42
with the invigorated youth, because like you said, there are so many ministers
22:48
of today. They're they're jokes, they're just they're they're just hot air,
22:52
no better than the politicians that we speak about. But we're going to hold
22:56
it right there and we'll be right back on this faith day addition of the
23:00
Ron Edwards American Experience with our guest minister Austin Creek Center. We'll be right
23:07
back after this family of family, of family, Ron Edwards the new voice

24:41
I'm Ron Edwards on today's space from the ever Nupek brought to you by Constitutional
24:45
Grounds. The coffee you want in your cup. One day in the gym
24:48
is imperceivable. Two days in the gym you won't recognize many changes. One
24:53
hundred days in the gym and you'll almost be a new person. One day
24:57
of playing guitar and you can barely play one chord. One hundred days of
25:02
practicing guitar and you can almost play any song. When you do anything long
25:07
enough, it adds up. If you do nothing, it adds up to
25:10
zero. So take the small steps every single day, do what you're supposed
25:15
to do, and don't expect some incredible results in one day or two days
25:21
or even ten days worthwhile things take one hundred days, maybe five hundred or
25:26
one thousand days, or maybe even five thousand days. They take time,
25:33
and whatever it is you want to do isn't going to happen in just one
25:37
day. You have work to do, and I know it's just a little
25:41
bit. I know it's just a tiny little movement forward, but that work
25:48
is what it takes. Without consistent effort, success is inconceivable. I'm Ron

27:21
Hello, I'm Ron Edwards and welcome back to this edition of The Ron
27:26
Edwards American Experience Faith Day. And you know, the Bible says that there's
27:32
one God, one Church, one Lord, and one Gospel, one Spirit,
27:37
one Jesus, one Bible and one way. So why in sam Hill
27:41
does it seem the Christianity in the United States of America, Great Britain and
27:45
elsewhere is so diced up and different from the Word of God and the Church
27:51
yesue are built in the first century. Why the big difference. Maybe our
27:56
guests can give us an answer on that. We're back with our guest today,
28:00
Austin Greats Minister, how do you answer that question, sir well,
28:07
one of the things you have to understand is that theology has a history to
28:12
it, and when we are in the early stages of the New Testament Church
28:19
basically having a Jewish concept and idea of covenant, of redemption, of atonement,
28:27
and definitely of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ, the teachings,
28:32
et cetera. Now you mentioned earlier, I think it was Constantine. Things
28:38
actually went rather well the first seventy five years. There was a harmony between
28:45
the Jewish individuals, synagogues, et cetera. But then when it came down
28:49
to the deity of Christ, the incarnation, that's where a split took place.
28:55
So in one fifty AD there was this split from the Church and the
29:00
synagogue, and as a matter of fact, the Jews actually persecuted the Church,
29:06
and usually through history you see just the opposite going on. When Constantine
29:11
came to power, he did not have a theological perspective or background, and
29:18
so the Church from being persecuted almost overnight, was welcomed as the shall we
29:26
put government Church of the Empire of Rome. And not everybody went with this.
29:33
There were other groups around the world that did not come into that let's
29:40
say group or denomination for lack of a better term. So Constantine had some
29:48
of his buddies placed in various positions within the church, and he ruled over
29:53
the church. And we know from what we call the church councils were certain
29:59
doctrinal de decisions were made, and so what we had is we had from
30:03
a simple act to community that would meet in homes and be community. It
30:11
turned into a let's say, cathedral and liturgy that we have today now,
30:19
not just in the Catholic churches, but that influence infiltrated into the Reformation as
30:26
well. Luther never wanted to have his own church. He wanted to reform
30:33
the Catholic Church. Calvin basically the same thing, and for the most part,
30:38
most of the reformers. But a lot of the traditions that took place
30:42
in those early days filtered its way through to the church even to this present
30:48
day. So you have churches that are what we call very liturgical. They
30:52
go by a liturgy, and then you have churches that are not liturgical.
30:56
This is what's the difference between what they call a high church and a low
31:00
church scenario. But through the years you had various doctrinal differences due to the
31:06
way that you interpreted the Word of God. Now that's interesting about you just
31:10
go on here for just a second. Most people when they go to a
31:14
Bible college or a seminary, they're taught a system of belief rather than scripture.
31:23
Right to catch on what I'm saying by that, ron, Yes I
31:26
do, big, big time, Yes I do. Okay, So what
31:30
you have is they are learning the system. They're not learning theology. They're
31:36
very or i should say Bible in theology. They are very few seminary today
31:41
that will actually just teach biblical theology. And I was graduating from Acheline Theological
31:48
Seminary and that's all they taught is biblical theology. And I'm minored in historical
31:56
theology. And you could see whenever you see a weird doctrine or something,
32:00
you can always trace it back to some source. And so you see how
32:05
there was distortions in interpretation, which is very important. How you interpret there's
32:10
grammatical interpretation or pure hermanutics, as we call it interpretation. But then you
32:16
have what they call special hermanutics, which these systems adhere to their own way
32:22
of interpreting the scripture. And that's why, like you were asking, how
32:27
did we get into this myth of everybody having something different, it's because we
32:34
honor the systems more than we do the actual interpretation of scripture. And that's
32:40
the predicament that we're in right now. And that's probably a whole show in
32:45
itself, fron but that's basically, in a nutshell what has taken place.
32:51
And so as a result, we completely ignore what Jesus says about unity in
32:55
the body of Christ. One of the most fractured, ununified entities on the
33:02
planet is the body of Christ. And we ignore that part of the Bible
33:08
that tells us to die to our old flesh nature, how to renew our
33:14
mind, and how Satan can affect the life of a follower of Jesus Christ,
33:19
and just that little bit, just that tiny little bit, is rarely
33:22
spoken of correctly, in my opinion, in most churches, not only in
33:27
the United States, but if you go to Great Britain or France or wherever,
33:30
and then you wonder why other entities are gaining ground and more influence in
33:37
the world. It's not because the Islamis, for example, are more correct
33:43
in their ideology. It is because they are united and they are living according
33:50
to what they believe, and they're rolling with that. As opposed to followers
33:55
of Yeshure or Jesus, they're so fractured, and as you say, and
34:00
we used to jokingly call it cemetery schools, they're not teaching these principles,
34:07
and so we end up with the conditions that we have today. Some pastors
34:12
actually teach that Satan and his demons, for example, cannot bother the Christian
34:16
and I think that is utterly foolish. And what how do you how do
34:21
we get this foolishness out of the body of Christ, out of out of
34:27
the church. How do we, you know, get around this and start
34:30
getting back to truth. On a large scale, You're going to find that
34:34
a lot of churches aren't gonna even bother with that. There's such a protection
34:38
for the system that anything outside of that little box will require a paradigm shift
34:45
in order to get them out. You see, What's what's going on is
34:51
that when you teach a particular way of viewing things, and interpretation is the
34:57
key to this. If I put on my Reformed glasses or my Baptist classes
35:01
or Catholic classes, I'm going to see things differently because of the tent of
35:06
the glass that is there. When I take the glasses off and I just
35:10
allow the word to speak, even if I may have minor disagreements, that's
35:19
where you're going to find unity. And let me just say this unity will
35:22
never come around around doctrine. The way to unify the church is through relationships.
35:30
And when pastors have relationships even if their doctrinal differences are way off,
35:37
and they get to know the person that's ministering in the same city or area,
35:45
there is that Christian unity and love that begins to take place where dialogue
35:50
can happen. But dialogue is secondary to relationships, and that's really the first
35:55
step. But you're not going to come into a doctional agreement. Now.
36:00
You will come into doctrinal agreement. And what we call the dogmas, the
36:06
Trinity, the incarnation, the resurrection, judgment, et cetera, et cetera.
36:12
Those issues are the mainstay of what Christianity is really all about. And
36:17
you'll find unity in that, but you'll also find diversity in how that's interpreted
36:22
in teaching. So dogma is the foundations, but doctrine is how each church
36:30
or fellowship teaches the dogma, and that's where that's where really a lot of
36:35
the division comes in. Some people believe in the rapture, some people don't
36:38
believe in the rapture. Some people believe that only members should have communion,
36:44
others don't. All these little traditions and stuff is what's killing the church.
36:50
I've done some church consulting and the biggest question is are you willing to change?
36:53
And a lot of the churches that are dying, they're absolutely refusing through,
36:58
you know, do what's necessary in order to survive. And a lot
37:04
of it is old tradition, like you know, we always did things this
37:07
way, and that's what's really killing us. And it goes both not only
37:12
for the people in the church, but also for the pastors. We're seeing.
37:17
We're seeing along the lines right now of LGBT, Q X y Z,
37:22
you know the alphabet too, literally denominations falling apart. And again it's
37:30
all on the basis of interpretation and how how they're willing or unwilling to adapt
37:37
or change. Now, what I'm saying adapting, I'm not saying change the
37:39
gospel. What I'm saying is some of the traditions that are found in various
37:45
congregations need to be put aside, like sacred cows, and allow the Gospel
37:52
to speak again. Yeah. And I think also that speaking speaking of the
38:00
Word of God, that I think if if churches, if people in general
38:06
decided, hey, you know what, why don't we unite on the principles,
38:10
the Ten Commandments, some of the levitical principles, things that are that
38:15
are immutable, they're they're not you know, you can't mess with uh.
38:21
Thou shall not steal, Thou shall not cover thy neighbor's wife, nor his
38:24
ox, nor his ask. Thou shall not lie, et cetera, et
38:28
cetera, et cetera. I think if we made a decision to get back
38:31
to those moral principles and stick to that, I think, branching out into
38:39
the other areas, I think we would make more right decisions and be more
38:44
unified. Because if you if you, if you're if you're unified on the
38:47
on the on the basic founding principles that dictate your moral behavior and your thinking
38:54
and your actions. I think if you stem from that, you will have
38:59
a a greater chance of unity and more strength and power in the battle between
39:04
good and evil. All right, man, I hate to end it right
39:07
here, but we've only got about a minute. Could you honor us,
39:13
sir with a prayer? You know, go as God lead you, but
39:19
like to do even if you could pray about unity in the body. Father,
39:23
We thank you for your son. We thank you for what he has
39:27
done and accomplished on the cross, his willingness to come down one hundred percent
39:31
God and one hundred percent man, and his cry in John seventeen was for
39:37
us to unify as believers. And Lord, we humbly come before you this
39:42
day and ask, Lord, bring your church together in this time of peril,
39:47
disinformation and downright evil, bring your church together to raise the standard of
39:53
the Lord Jesus Christ and his kingdom. In Jesus' name, we pray,
39:59
Amen, Amen. Thank you so much. And we're going to have to
40:02
have you back because you touched on some very interesting subjects there, and I
40:09
even want to get into some history with you. Bon Hoffer, Wesley and

42:36
You're listening to the Ron Edwards American experience. When it comes to following
43:01
Christ. There's no such thing as Baptist, Pecostal or Catholic righteousness. It's
43:07
the righteousness we find through Christ. I'm by Edwards and you're listening to the
43:13
rhyd Words American experience Faith. They addition, thank you so much for tuning
43:16
in. And you know a person who has a form of godliness is not
43:22
saved by the blood. They don't make Jesus Lord. They don't need the
43:28
Word of God or Holy Spirit because they have their religion oh worked out on
43:34
their own in their own adult brains. They live to satisfy their fleshly desires,
43:39
and they walk, talk, and act like what they call the world.
43:44
They never change, but attend church for many years, staying in the
43:46
same way year after years, because, as Joel Olstein famously says, Jesus
43:52
loves you. Just come as you are. They don't believe that there are
43:58
consequences for disobeying God God, not resisting Satan, and ignoring part of the
44:05
Word of God. They ignore the judgment of God to their own detriment.
44:10
So we have some serious decisions. See where the deciders, and we have
44:15
to make our systems. We have to straighten them out. But we cannot
44:21
straighten them out based upon our feelings, our own human customs, et cetera,
44:27
et cetera, et cetera. We have to go to the principles of
44:29
God. Throughout history, God has always wanted the people he could call his
44:34
own that would represent him correctly on his earth. He gave the first five
44:39
books of the Bible to set forth laws, precepts, commandments, and principles
44:45
on how his people were to live in the wilderness. Remember that you've all
44:50
read that story right. He set up types and shadows in the building of
44:54
the temple and in the feasts to reflect his son, the coming Messiah.
45:00
But over time man began to kind of ruin things. And when we get
45:07
in, when we start ruining things and trying to change things into our own
45:12
image or what we wanted to be, rather than what God wants it to
45:15
be, you know, notice how things really mess up. Now. The
45:17
Constitution of the United States was based upon godly principles, and though the men
45:25
who ran the United States were imperfect, the goal was good because the goal
45:31
was to live up to the principles of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights,
45:37
which were inspired by the Word of God. But as we today continue
45:42
in this United States of America to drift away, drift drift, drift,
45:49
drift away. And it's not just the those who are not walking with Christ.
45:53
They're not the only ones who are drifting away. There are many cocky,
45:59
proud Christians who walk around not caring about the very country that they are
46:05
living in. And we're seeing the result of that. If you don't care
46:08
about your own personal home. What happens to it? It gets dirty.
46:14
You have furry little visitors inside, little mice that come in uninvited. You
46:21
have bugs. If you live in Arizona, you might find a scorpion under
46:24
your pillow when you wake up, or in your shoes. So we have
46:30
to clean up our moral standards in the United States and in Great Britain and
46:38
throughout the world. If we claim the name of Christ, then we have
46:45
to claim his word, his principles, et cetera, and live according to
46:50
these principles and precepts. And you know, over time man began to run
46:58
things in the name of God, and then there came a religious system.
47:06
By the time of the birth of Yeshua, the temple religious system had become
47:09
so corrupt by the scribes, seduces, and the Pharisees it could not recognize
47:15
the time of their visitation of the Messiah, Jesus Christ, the New Wine
47:21
had arrived, but the religious leaders would not recognize him. They ignored him
47:25
and then wanted to destroy him. Just like today, religious leaders ignore what
47:34
they should be doing, what they should be teaching. They ignored the example
47:37
they should be setting. Back when Jesus was walking the earth. He ministered
47:44
to all the people, even those religious leaders of the corrupt temple system.
47:49
But Jesus made it perfectly clear that you cannot take his new wine and put
47:52
it in old wine skin religious systems. Nor do men put new wine in
48:00
to old wine skins. Otherwise the wine skins burst and the wine pours out,
48:07
and the wine skins are ruined. But they put new wine into fresh
48:13
wine skins, ah, and then both are preserved, and then it's very
48:21
tasty. If the grapes were good, well, Jesus came preaching the Kingdom
48:25
of God, the Kingdom of God message, and the Kingdom of God.
48:30
Conduct that Jesus exhibited and lived out for his disciples would be the fulfillment of
48:36
the old is the new wine of God. If you wanted to live in
48:40
function in the new system, the Kingdom of God that has roots that began
48:45
in Genesis, you must empty yourself of the old religious system of man.
48:52
Jesus went to the cross, ascended to heaven, and sent back the Holy
48:58
Spirit to guide us. This system worked perfectly for Christ's disciples up until the
49:02
middle of the third century, when Constantine instituted his traditions amen. And I
49:08
believe the Constantine meant well because he wanted to make the followers of Christ legal.
49:16
He said they shouldn't be persecuted, but worre he messed up. See
49:22
many times you know the Word. There's a book that came out in the
49:25
in the early it was in the nineteen eighties, The Road to Hell is
49:30
paid with good intentions, and the good intention the well intentioned Constantine ended up
49:38
putting Christianity almost on the road to Hell. Not literally, but a lot
49:44
of hellish things have occurred and have seeped in to the church world, and
49:52
now we have it's all mixed up today. Christianity, Christians or the followers
49:58
of the Word think we're still the largest single organization on the planet, but
50:06
one of the most uneffective. We have big numbers but very little comparative impact.
50:19
And you know, God gave man dominion over the earth, but man
50:24
corrupted his own dominion. He corrupted the gift of dominion through his faulty relationship
50:31
with Satan. And yes, yes it was Eve first, but Eve didn't
50:39
technically know any better. Adam knew what Adam should have done when he slipped
50:46
off with Satan. Adam should have said, you know what, Lord,
50:50
you know what, I'm not going to do this. Can you get me
50:53
another one? Another woman? Oh? Man? But we can all say
51:00
that, right. But I wonder what we would do if we were in
51:04
Adam's place? Would we have done any better? I just you know,
51:08
one has to wonder. Do you want me to say that out loud?
51:15
Doug, Oh my goodness, Oh no, I can't do that. But
51:22
anyway, so, because of what man has done and allowed to happen,
51:31
we were in control, we had power, but we became vain. And
51:37
guess what, we don't operate in as much power as we should today.
51:43
But we can recover as we recover our relationship with our creator through his son
51:49
Jesus Christ. Not that I see that my time is up on this fake
51:54
day, I'm Ron Edwards, reminding you to pray for your family, your
52:00
friends, your nation, and even your enemies, and to treat others the
52:04
way you wouldn't want to be treated. Yep, I'm not Edwards until next
52:08
time, my friends, be good bye. Now, I show you that
52:16
you have to change your direct, to change your direct, to make a
52:21
new connection to everyone you
