3:28
SPEAKER_01: All right, make sure you always just check in in the comments see if somebody says something.
3:31
SPEAKER_01: We don't mind being interrupted with a question.
3:33
SPEAKER_01: Um I'm cool with that.
3:35
SPEAKER_01: So I I feel like we need to start off like this.
3:39
SPEAKER_01: What is Christianity to y'all?
3:42
SPEAKER_01: I'm I'll go first since I brought a question.
3:44
SPEAKER_01: What is Christianity at its core?
3:46
SPEAKER_01: What does it mean to be a Christian?
3:48
SPEAKER_01: We can give just a brief definition, all three of us, just to put it out there and just let people know like where we are and where we stand and how we how we believe and see the Bible and see God.
4:00
SPEAKER_01: Um so since I propose a question, I'll just go ahead and answer something quick.
4:03
SPEAKER_01: Christianity to me is simply following Christ.
4:06
SPEAKER_01: To give a simple definition, straight to the point definition.
4:09
SPEAKER_01: Um I believe that there was a man named Jesus Christ that walked the face of this earth as a man, but he is God.
4:17
SPEAKER_01: Even though he walked the face of this earth as man, he came down as man, but he is God.
4:23
SPEAKER_01: Um the only perfect man that ever walked this face of this earth.
4:28
SPEAKER_01: Um I believe that Christianity is just following his teachings, following, following his ways, following the things that he wanted us to do.
4:38
SPEAKER_01: So that's my short definition of Christianity and what it means to be a Christian, man.
4:42
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, right with that, bro.
4:43
SPEAKER_01: Like, you know, if you if you read, you know, Acts and Act, the book of Acts, and you you think about like the start of the church, um, it even says in Acts, what is it, 11?
4:51
SPEAKER_01: Acts 11, 26, it says that they were first called they were first called Christians at Antioch, you know, when they were building the churches and stuff like that.
4:58
SPEAKER_01: In Acts 11, 26.
4:59
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, Acts 11.
4:59
SPEAKER_01: Oh, yeah, pull your Bibles out of now, y'all.
5:01
SPEAKER_01: It says the disciples were first called Christians in Antioch.
5:04
SPEAKER_01: And it and it doesn't specifically um say, you know, who called them Christians.
5:09
SPEAKER_01: It could have been people, because you know, when we when we become some, you know, some people sometimes people give us give us titles and they and they would call it call it as these things.
5:16
SPEAKER_01: But that but they were giving them that Christian title because they were, you know, um, you know, teaching in there, growing in there, they building the church there, so they were they were like being you know followers of God, kind of associate being being uh associated themselves with with Christ.
5:28
SPEAKER_01: You know what I'm saying?
5:29
SPEAKER_01: So like, you know, it it'd be to me I look at it as someone who associates themselves with Christ.
5:34
SPEAKER_01: But then I also think about, you know, like Matthew 28, I think it says um when he was giving them, he said we were to make disciples, you know, you know, so I I I'd be breaking down the difference because I'd be like Christian, someone who associates themselves with Christ, follows Christ, but then disciples, someone who are obedient to Christ in the call, you know what I'm saying?
5:51
SPEAKER_01: So spreading the gospel.
5:52
SPEAKER_01: You're spreading the gospel, you're actually actually being obedient, following it, you know what I'm saying?
5:55
SPEAKER_01: That's how I look at it.
5:56
SPEAKER_01: That's how I look at it, man.
5:57
SPEAKER_01: What about you, Wade?
5:58
SPEAKER_01: What you thinking, man?
5:59
SPEAKER_03: Uh I just I think it means just to love.
6:01
SPEAKER_03: Uh, because a lot of people say they they have Christ in their heart, but they have malice in their heart as well.
6:05
SPEAKER_03: So we gotta understand that we're talking about being like Christ, we gotta first learn how to forgive.
6:12
SPEAKER_03: Right?
6:12
SPEAKER_03: We gotta learn how to love.
6:14
SPEAKER_03: Even though people that don't love us, we gotta learn how to love back, amen.
6:17
SPEAKER_03: Amen.
6:18
SPEAKER_01: Amen.
6:19
SPEAKER_01: And if uh anybody has any at any moment, any questions, y'all want to chime in or say something or make a statement about something, or if you hear something that you don't agree with that we said, you know, we're not sensitive um men in here.
6:29
SPEAKER_01: We can handle um a back and forth, an educated back and forth, you know, I said respectful back and forth conversation.
6:34
SPEAKER_01: So yeah, we open to that tonight.
6:36
SPEAKER_01: Don't feel like this is an episode where y'all gotta just sit back and listen.
6:39
SPEAKER_01: We went live for a reason.
6:40
SPEAKER_01: We want y'all to chime in, yeah.
6:41
SPEAKER_01: We want y'all to interject, and we want y'all feedback, man.
6:44
SPEAKER_01: So and and and then we're gonna say this.
6:46
SPEAKER_01: We do not, we do not, and that's that's that's another misconception about Christians.
6:50
SPEAKER_01: You know, me and Wade was talking about this thing earlier.
6:51
SPEAKER_01: We do not confess to know everything.
6:54
SPEAKER_01: Bam! You know, we know everything.
6:56
SPEAKER_01: Misconception number one.
6:57
SPEAKER_01: Right there.
6:58
SPEAKER_01: We we do not confess to know everything, and I think a lot of people think that we should know.
7:02
SPEAKER_01: And and I'm gonna be real, growing up in the church, you know, I I've been I've been around some people who made me feel like I had to know everything, and what that did a lot of times will stop me from actually doing the call.
7:12
SPEAKER_01: You know what I'm saying?
7:13
SPEAKER_01: I don't talk to you know, my my my my my other mother, the nation.
7:17
SPEAKER_01: She don't lie, we don't talk about that thing a lot of times because we feel like we gotta know every single thing, or people hold us to a standard where, oh, you a Christian, you should know this.
7:25
SPEAKER_01: Now the Bible does tell us to study ourselves approved, show ourselves approved, but the same token in time, there are levels that we grow in Christ, and the more we grow in Christ, the more we know and learn of him.
7:35
SPEAKER_01: And I I I truly believe this that we're forever stewards of learning.
7:40
SPEAKER_01: You know what I'm saying?
7:42
SPEAKER_01: I question people who feel like I feel like I'm talking like a reverend.
7:47
SPEAKER_01: I question people.
7:52
SPEAKER_01: Nah, I question people, bro, who feel like um they they got it all together because where where is groom where's room for revelation?
7:59
SPEAKER_01: Where is room for a fresh word?
8:01
SPEAKER_01: Where's room for God to really uh begin to you know peel back some things and you know introduce us and help our mind grow?
8:08
SPEAKER_01: You know, I'm just weird people who think they got it out together and know it all because I'm I'm gonna forever be a steward of learning the word.
8:14
SPEAKER_01: I don't know it all.
8:15
SPEAKER_01: Hey, but I'm learning and growing, bro.
8:16
SPEAKER_01: You know, and that's misconception number one.
8:18
SPEAKER_03: Go ahead, go ahead.
8:19
SPEAKER_03: We got a first question of the night.
8:21
SPEAKER_03: First question of the night, Mr.
8:22
SPEAKER_03: Ace Genus says, Do you think half, do you think have to be a Christian to make it to heaven or just a believer in God?
8:30
SPEAKER_01: Ooh, first of all, get that sentence right.

8:45
SPEAKER_03: Or just a believer in God.
8:48
SPEAKER_01: Alright.
8:48
SPEAKER_01: I want you to Google the verse where Jesus said, Um, I am the way, the truth, and the light.
8:55
SPEAKER_01: No one comes to the Father except through me.
8:57
SPEAKER_01: Pull up that verse right there.
8:58
SPEAKER_01: And do and go to the New King James Version translation.
9:00
SPEAKER_01: And then after that, I'm gonna give you another, I'm gonna give you another scripture after that.
9:03
SPEAKER_01: John 14, 16.
9:04
SPEAKER_01: We're gonna try our best, y'all to answer 95, 97% of these questions.
9:08
SPEAKER_01: But I'm gonna tell you what I'm gonna tell you.
9:10
SPEAKER_01: We don't want to be opinionated in no kind of way.
9:13
SPEAKER_01: There you go.
9:13
SPEAKER_01: We're gonna try to give y'all a Bible and our interpretation of what we believe it is.
9:18
SPEAKER_01: And I'm gonna I'm gonna say this too for somebody.
9:21
SPEAKER_01: The word is an open book.
9:23
SPEAKER_01: My mom had to really like like get on me about that in my walk.
9:27
SPEAKER_01: She said, Johnny, she said, I'm a nurse.
9:28
SPEAKER_01: You think I remember every neuron that's going on in this?
9:31
SPEAKER_01: She said, No, we study, we we look at it, we we don't feel bad about what we don't know.
9:35
SPEAKER_01: Well, daughters practice, they may look at your situation, they're like, Well, we gotta do this, we gotta do this, we gotta do this.
9:39
SPEAKER_01: The word is an open book.
9:41
SPEAKER_01: Open it and let God reveal to you.
9:43
SPEAKER_01: Like, even the questions you ask us, and there's nothing wrong with asking us a question, but I want y'all to leave here knowing that, like, like Cory said, we're not we've been just we even just throw stuff out the dome.
9:51
SPEAKER_01: We're gonna pull up scriptures and we we're growing together in this podcast.
9:54
SPEAKER_01: So we're learning together um what the word says.
9:56
SPEAKER_01: So we will be pulling up scriptures tonight.
9:58
SPEAKER_01: We'll be looking at them and we'll do our best, you know what I'm saying, to uh to to say what.
10:03
SPEAKER_01: Read there, wait.
10:03
SPEAKER_01: Read that scripture.
10:06
SPEAKER_01: Oh, you're gonna pull up the scriptures so they can actually see it?
10:08
SPEAKER_01: Okay, I like that.
10:08
SPEAKER_01: We're gonna show y'all.
10:09
SPEAKER_01: We ain't we ain't just gonna read the scriptures, we're gonna show y'all the scripture that we're talking about.
10:14
SPEAKER_01: This is John, this is New King James version, John.
10:17
SPEAKER_01: What?
10:22
SPEAKER_01: What did everybody say?
10:32
SPEAKER_01: Alright, so when Jesus made that statement right there, um, good question, by the way, bro.
10:39
SPEAKER_01: When Jesus made that statement, I am the way, I am the truth, and I am the life.
10:46
SPEAKER_01: No one can come to the Father except through me.
10:53
SPEAKER_01: Those are explicit words in that in that scripture.
10:56
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
10:56
SPEAKER_01: You can pull it back up too if you want to.
10:58
SPEAKER_01: But when he when he made that exp them explicit, it's like when I see that and when I read that, it's no way around it.
11:07
SPEAKER_01: It's no shuffling around it, it's no, well, what about this, what about that?
11:11
SPEAKER_01: I want you to keep something in mind now, as we take y'all on this journey, on this, on this episode.
11:15
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
11:16
SPEAKER_01: There was a man named Jesus Christ that walked the face of this earth that died for all of our sins, right?
11:21
SPEAKER_01: He took, he, he, when he, when he stretched his, stretched wide on that cross, whatever we were supposed to go through, the hell we were supposed to go in, he did that for us, so we didn't have to go to hell.
11:31
SPEAKER_01: All we have now, all we have to do is believe in him and confess with our mouth that he is God and we believe that he is the one and we know that he died for us and he rose from the dead.
11:41
SPEAKER_01: Once you do that, your salvation is activated.
11:45
SPEAKER_01: Right?
11:45
SPEAKER_01: But understand that there is an enemy that walked the face of this earth too.
11:51
SPEAKER_01: That's that's that's on the realm of this earth, spiritual-wise, whatever, how you want to call it, how you want to see it, right?
11:56
SPEAKER_01: So, understand, you got the winning team, and you got, I ain't even gonna say losing team, because they already done lost.
12:03
SPEAKER_01: The fate of Satan and his angels and all, and anybody that wanna be like them, they they fight in a losing battle.
12:10
SPEAKER_01: But understand, when you know you done lost, if I know, if I know I can't beat you, my objective is to try to bring down as many people as I can, right?
12:20
SPEAKER_01: So what I gotta do, I gotta throw out fake guys, I gotta throw out false religions, I gotta throw out ways to confuse you because I know you the truth.
12:27
SPEAKER_01: What'd he say?
12:28
SPEAKER_01: I am the truth, the way and the life.
12:30
SPEAKER_01: No one.
12:31
SPEAKER_01: No one.
12:32
SPEAKER_01: So that means South Carolina, Texas, Ukraine, South Africa, no one.
12:38
SPEAKER_01: It don't say no one that lives in America.
12:41
SPEAKER_01: It don't say no one that grew up in the South in the Bible Belt.
12:44
SPEAKER_01: It don't say no, it says no one.
12:46
SPEAKER_01: I like I like Acts 4.12 too because it says It says uh no other name but Jesus can save.
12:52
SPEAKER_01: You know what I'm saying?
12:53
SPEAKER_01: Oh, what did it say?
12:55
SPEAKER_01: No other name but Jesus can save.
12:56
SPEAKER_01: No other name but Jesus.
12:58
SPEAKER_01: And it kind of goes with what you're saying.
13:00
SPEAKER_01: No one can come through the Father except through me.
13:02
SPEAKER_01: So no other name but Jesus can save.
13:04
SPEAKER_01: And uh that that's that's powerful, bro.
13:06
SPEAKER_01: Bro, that's and so so to answer your question directly, go back to this question, Wade.
13:10
SPEAKER_01: To answer your question directly, can you go to heaven if you're not a Christian?
13:14
SPEAKER_01: Basically, that's what he's asking.
13:16
SPEAKER_01: And my go read read the question again.
13:18
SPEAKER_01: I'm gonna answer directly.
13:19
SPEAKER_03: He basically said, uh, can you go to let me go?
13:24
SPEAKER_03: Okay.
13:25
SPEAKER_03: He said, Do you think you have to be a Christian to make it to heaven or just a believer in God?
13:30
SPEAKER_01: Okay, I I feel like so when you say they're believer in God part, you gotta be, you gotta, are you talking about the God of the Bible?
13:37
SPEAKER_01: You see what I'm saying?
13:38
SPEAKER_01: Because a lot of people might say the word God, but what God are they talking about?
13:41
SPEAKER_01: You see what I'm saying?
13:42
SPEAKER_01: Because a lot of people proclaim and confess to know God and all types of stuff like that, but what God are they speaking on?
13:47
SPEAKER_01: If you, I'm gonna answer it directly for you, bro.
13:49
SPEAKER_01: If you do not believe in Jesus Christ, if you do not believe in God, and you live your life, your entire life, that way, based on what I've read in the Bible, based on what I believe about the Bible is saying to us, I do not believe you can make it heavy.
14:10
SPEAKER_01: It kind of it kind of goes back to you know what we were saying earlier because Christian is a name, because there's a there's a there's a divine difference than being called something and thriving in something.
14:21
SPEAKER_01: And I belie I believe, I believe that, you know, I can be called great, but it's not until my actions are put into place that I become great.
14:29
SPEAKER_01: Come on, somebody.
14:30
SPEAKER_01: And I believe that sometimes, you know, we call ourselves a lot of us can call ourselves Christians because we have the appeal of what it looks like.
14:37
SPEAKER_01: But when Jesus said, go and make disciples, that means that we are now not, we're not, we're not just, you know, we're not, we're we're not just b being something that someone, because you know, when you think about probably the Gentiles in Antioch gave the Christians those names, so that's something they call them by by what they saw them do.
14:54
SPEAKER_01: But being a disciple is now me being submissive to the will of God, learning of Him, doing the will, being obedient to the call.
15:04
SPEAKER_01: And I feel like a lot of times like us making into heaven, it's just like they can call you what they can call you Christian, but I believe that alone won't get us there.
15:13
SPEAKER_01: I believe it's when we submerge ourselves in the submissive will of God to be obedient to the call and to be obedient to him, calling on Jesus, you know, being saved, all that, that's what's gonna get us there.
15:23
SPEAKER_01: You know what I'm saying?
15:24
SPEAKER_01: Facts.
15:24
SPEAKER_01: I don't know if it makes sense.
15:26
SPEAKER_01: Good question, good question, bro.
15:26
SPEAKER_01: I hope we answer your question.
15:28
SPEAKER_01: Um God is the only way, man.
15:30
SPEAKER_01: Jesus Christ is the only way you go you can make it.
15:33
SPEAKER_01: Jesus is.
15:35
SPEAKER_01: I be having like I know we all be having questions growing up.
15:37
SPEAKER_01: Like, I used to ask my mom.
15:39
SPEAKER_01: I used to ask my mom, I used to ask my mama this question right here.
15:42
SPEAKER_01: Mama, we grew up over here in the Christianity realm.
15:46
SPEAKER_01: Yeah What about all these kids out here who grew up Muslim and Buddhist or grew up with family members who or grew up in a household that was atheist and they ain't care nothing about God?
15:55
SPEAKER_01: And I said, what about these people who live their life like that?
15:59
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
16:00
SPEAKER_01: And and I and I and I pulled up Isaiah 55, 8, and 9, where he talked about, for my thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways my ways, says the Lord.
16:10
SPEAKER_01: So we be looking at stuff through a human eye in the in the human realm, and a lot of stuff we don't with that's why we can't answer it.
16:17
SPEAKER_01: Because his his ways are not our ways.
16:19
SPEAKER_01: So it's it's hard for me to be like, well, all them people over there that don't believe in God, they doomed.
16:25
SPEAKER_01: Because I don't know what type of encounters they're gonna have in their lifetime.
16:28
SPEAKER_01: They might not have grew up like me, but that don't mean that they can't, that don't mean that a change can't happen, just like how Saul turned to Paul.
16:34
SPEAKER_01: You see what I'm saying?
16:35
SPEAKER_01: Like it was a transformation that happened to him.
16:37
SPEAKER_01: Transformation can happen to anybody at any given moment.
16:40
SPEAKER_01: So, but if you if if you're not, if you're not, if you're not, if you're not down with Christ, bro, I just Well when you're saying that, you know, I think about salvation, bro.
16:48
SPEAKER_01: You know, the gift of salvation, bro, it's for everybody.
16:50
SPEAKER_05: It's free, you know.
16:51
SPEAKER_01: It's free, it's for it's for everybody.
16:53
SPEAKER_01: And a lot of times a misconception that people have is they feel like, oh, because I was once this, I was once a drunk alcoholic, whatever you call yourself that you felt like that was uh uh that you that lost your self-control or that made you far from God, we feel like we can't come back from that.
17:11
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
17:12
SPEAKER_01: Because a lot of people the past does not define your future, you don't define your salvation.
17:17
SPEAKER_01: Your past, your past cannot hold, your past cannot hold you back.
17:21
SPEAKER_01: Well, it can as long as you let it, as long as you stay and you sit in it.
17:24
SPEAKER_01: You know what I'm saying?
17:25
SPEAKER_01: Because the Bible talks about you know uh um us not being gonna be plucked from his hand, but I believe sometimes that we can take ourselves out of that.
17:32
SPEAKER_01: You know what I'm saying?
17:32
SPEAKER_01: We could fall from grace.
17:33
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, fact.
17:34
SPEAKER_01: You know what I'm saying?
17:35
SPEAKER_01: It don't matter what you did in your past.
17:37
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
17:37
SPEAKER_01: If you go, if y'all open up the Bible and read throughout the Bible of a of a lot of people who had power, you're gonna come to find out and realize that a lot of them was jacked up.
17:47
SPEAKER_01: A lot of them was getting people killed.
17:48
SPEAKER_01: Yep.
17:49
SPEAKER_01: A lot of people was cheating on their wives.
17:51
SPEAKER_01: A lot of people was like just harsh, like, hey, when I think about the Bible, I used to I used to think about these are the days of our lives.
17:58
SPEAKER_01: Bro, bro, it's it's a whole it's a so it's a whole sopper, soapper going on in the Bible.
18:02
SPEAKER_01: Soap, what?
18:03
SPEAKER_01: It's like just like I just talked about Paul.
18:05
SPEAKER_01: Paul wrote a majority of the New Testament, if I'm not mistaken.
18:09
SPEAKER_01: And this was somebody for the people who don't know who Paul is, his name used to be Saul.
18:14
SPEAKER_01: I'm just giving you an I'm just giving you an example of what Johnny was saying about your past don't define you.
18:18
SPEAKER_01: And he actually can use you despite your past.
18:22
SPEAKER_01: Paul was Saul was a man who was going around killing Christians, going around beating Christians up, throwing them in jail, because they was professing God.
18:28
SPEAKER_01: Because they was professing that they believed in Christ.
18:31
SPEAKER_01: And then he had an encounter on his way to do more trouble, to make more trouble.
18:37
SPEAKER_01: On his way, God stepped in, intervened in his life, and changed his whole trajectory, trajectory on which he was going.
18:46
SPEAKER_01: He went from killing Christians to turning people around.
18:48
SPEAKER_01: He was persecuting them, and they was up, Wade?
18:50
SPEAKER_01: Wait, that's what it's saying, let's go.
18:51
SPEAKER_03: Now I want to talk about grace because that's where grace comes in in Romans.
18:55
SPEAKER_03: It talks about where sin is uh greater uh grace, right?
19:00
SPEAKER_03: Which means that you can't take uh basically uh some people we like to take advantage of God's grace.
19:05
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, we do.
19:06
SPEAKER_03: We like to take advantage of his grace, and then we act like that we can keep doing what we're doing, knowing that the grace is greater, but sometimes that grace can be what?
19:16
SPEAKER_01: What can it be?
19:18
SPEAKER_01: Misconception number three.
19:20
SPEAKER_04: Hey, my grace is efficient for you.
19:22
SPEAKER_01: Just because you are a Christian, that don't mean you can do whatever you want to do.
19:26
SPEAKER_01: That's right.
19:26
SPEAKER_01: That's what I was saying.
19:27
SPEAKER_01: Misconception, Christianity, just because you saved and just because you believe in God, that don't mean you can just live any kind of lifestyle you want to live.
19:36
SPEAKER_01: Because if that was the case, why did Jesus Christ come back and die for our sins?
19:41
SPEAKER_01: What did he die for?
19:42
SPEAKER_01: Our sins, bro.
19:43
SPEAKER_01: So a sin means you did something and you ain't no business doing, transgression, all type of stuff.
19:47
SPEAKER_01: You you went the opposite way.
19:49
SPEAKER_01: God said don't eat the fruit, you ate the fruit.
19:51
SPEAKER_01: You see it.
19:52
SPEAKER_01: So if he came and died for our sins, that means Jeffrey Dominic.
19:56
SPEAKER_01: We couldn't, we could we couldn't get it right.
19:58
SPEAKER_01: But they don't mean they don't mean grace-wise.
20:00
SPEAKER_01: That doesn't mean grace-wise, you just do whatever you want to do.
20:03
SPEAKER_01: What's those are one of my questions, bro?
20:06
SPEAKER_01: Oh, I'm sorry.
20:07
SPEAKER_01: You was random.
20:08
SPEAKER_01: You didn't say it was a question.

21:06
SPEAKER_01: Like it don't, it it's it's gotta be intertwined.
21:08
SPEAKER_01: Like, if you believe in the father, it's like, how can you gotta believe in the son because he's claiming that everything he's doing is coming from the father.
21:17
SPEAKER_01: Each part of the trinity trinity.
21:20
SPEAKER_01: I believe people believe in the son.
21:23
SPEAKER_01: People believe in the son of God, they don't believe him to be God.
21:27
SPEAKER_01: That's a whole nother topic.
21:28
SPEAKER_01: That's a whole nother topic.
21:29
SPEAKER_01: That's a whole nother topic.
21:29
SPEAKER_01: That's a whole nother a lot of people believe that Jesus Christ was a prophet, a miraculous man, yeah, but they don't believe him to be God himself.
21:37
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, they they don't.
21:38
SPEAKER_01: They don't.
21:39
SPEAKER_01: They believe that there's just there's just one God, you know what I'm saying?
21:45
SPEAKER_01: Oh, yeah.
21:46
SPEAKER_01: Oh, bad, bad, bro.
21:47
SPEAKER_01: Because your your book, bro, that you had, um, that book you got over there, that Bible said the book, it actually talks about um if you open it and you might you might can read that to them, um, it it talks about the Trinity and you know, and each significant role that That um that the that the that that plays.
22:02
SPEAKER_01: Yo, open it up real quick, bro.
22:05
SPEAKER_01: It's a lot of it's another paid book.

22:23

22:42
SPEAKER_01: Y'all put it in the chat for us, boy, because boy, we be trying, we'll be on the road, boy.
22:46
SPEAKER_01: Um a misconception I'm gonna bring up is uh I don't know, this might be the one you said, but Christians are supposed to be perfect, or Christians can't make mistakes.
22:55
SPEAKER_01: I didn't really say that.
22:57
SPEAKER_01: Um but that's a good that's a good topic.
22:59
SPEAKER_01: Um so the so the Because the Bible says we all fall short.
23:03
SPEAKER_01: So it will say, so the misconception is Christians ain't Christians can't mess up.
23:08
SPEAKER_01: Christians ain't oh, Christians ain't supposed to say that.
23:11
SPEAKER_01: Understand, y'all.
23:12
SPEAKER_01: We all are flawed.
23:14
SPEAKER_01: Hey, that's that's Romans, that's Romans 3.23.
23:18
SPEAKER_01: What's what it says?
23:19
SPEAKER_01: What Romans 23?
23:19
SPEAKER_01: We'll pull that up.
23:20
SPEAKER_01: It says Romans 3.23.
23:21
SPEAKER_01: It says, for we all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.
23:24
SPEAKER_01: We all have.
23:25
SPEAKER_01: We all have and we and we continuously do it in different ways.
23:29
SPEAKER_01: We clean up our act in certain ways, but that don't mean we're gonna be perfect.
23:32
SPEAKER_01: Yep, yep.
23:33
SPEAKER_01: I'm for anybody out there that might have got hurt by a Christian, this for you right here.
23:38
SPEAKER_01: This for you right here.
23:38
SPEAKER_01: For anybody, for anybody who might have got their feelings hurt.
23:41
SPEAKER_01: For anybody who might have got their heart broke, for anybody who who got something done to them by a by somebody who proclaimed to be a Christian, man, I'm not saying that they not a Christian, but you knew they was a Christian.
23:54
SPEAKER_01: They said they was a Christian, they acted as if a Christian, they publicly was known as a Christian, they publicly made themselves known as a Christian.
24:00
SPEAKER_01: If they cursed you, if they fought you, if they slept with your baby mama, if they robbed you, if they if they did anything that you just done.
24:13
SPEAKER_01: Understand this, y'all.
24:15
SPEAKER_01: You're not dealing with a supernatural being.
24:18
SPEAKER_01: This is a human being.
24:19
SPEAKER_01: You're not dealing with some angelic person who got these powers.
24:23
SPEAKER_01: You're dealing with somebody who is just like you.
24:25
SPEAKER_01: Just like you.
24:26
SPEAKER_01: They're gonna make mistakes.
24:27
SPEAKER_01: They're gonna make mistakes.
24:27
SPEAKER_01: And don't stop boxing that one Christian, that whatever that one Christian did to you, stop making it seem like it's all Christians.
24:35
SPEAKER_01: Bro, because I've had people can't, you just because one Christian did something to you.
24:39
SPEAKER_01: Oh, all I can't prove y'all.
24:41
SPEAKER_01: You know how y'all do.
24:42
SPEAKER_01: Oh, you don't even know me.
24:43
SPEAKER_01: People say that all the time, bro.
24:44
SPEAKER_01: Maybe you never had a conversation with me.
24:46
SPEAKER_01: People say that all the time, bro, because they they they they don't even go to church or they don't associate themselves with Christian because they like, look at how y'all act.
24:53
SPEAKER_01: But you have to understand that that a person's character, you know, we're we're human, that's that's not who God is.
25:00
SPEAKER_01: You know, God is love, God is, you know, all the all the things we should show the fruit of the spirit, you know what I'm saying, in in our walk.
25:06
SPEAKER_01: But sometimes we, you know, sometimes we have a bad day.
25:10
SPEAKER_01: Sometimes Christians have a bad day.
25:11
SPEAKER_01: Sometimes we ain't perfect, we human.
25:13
SPEAKER_01: Sometimes I be at work and I get mad and I get upset, but that's when I have to remember, that's when I have to remember to to lock in and who with with who I who I am in the spirit.
25:23
SPEAKER_01: Sometimes, sometimes, sometimes a Christian gonna cuss you out.
25:25
SPEAKER_01: Sometimes Christians staff their teachers.
25:29
SPEAKER_01: But I do believe at some point, what did he say?
25:33
SPEAKER_01: He ain't say that.
25:36
SPEAKER_01: He was talking about himself, something he did in the past.
25:40
SPEAKER_01: Sometimes Christians are disrespectful, bro.
25:42
SPEAKER_01: Hey, look, sometimes Christians are disrespectful.
25:46

26:20
SPEAKER_01: Because my mama punched me right in my face.
26:22
SPEAKER_01: She was not playing.
26:23
SPEAKER_01: Child abuse is what.
26:24
SPEAKER_01: Child abuse.
26:25
SPEAKER_01: Oh, and that's what they're gonna do.
26:26
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
26:27
SPEAKER_01: My mama wouldn't play.

26:36
SPEAKER_01: My granddaddy can cook.
26:37
SPEAKER_01: My granddaddy, she's gonna cook, she can cook.
26:39
SPEAKER_01: But my granddaddy, I would say, I'm gonna chew my cabbage twice, but it knock you out.
26:42
SPEAKER_01: Well, I ain't I ain't disrespecting him much.
26:44
SPEAKER_01: But yeah, man, I I got disrespect my mom, man.
26:46
SPEAKER_01: I don't got disrespectful.
26:48
SPEAKER_01: I had a little attitude.
26:49
SPEAKER_01: I don't I don't have to, we gotta, as Christians, they have to understand, like, we gotta catch ourselves in some moment.
26:54
SPEAKER_01: Pull up the fruit of the spirit.
26:55
SPEAKER_01: You know what I'm saying?
26:56
SPEAKER_01: Pull up the fruits of the spirit.
26:57
SPEAKER_01: You know, love, joy, peace, long-suffering, gentleness, goodness, meekness, faith, temperance, all the things that we we should just possess, possess, sometimes they can get a little rocky.
27:08
SPEAKER_01: But that doesn't mean that we are not called and chosen and God can't use us.
27:12
SPEAKER_01: It just means we're human.
27:14
SPEAKER_01: Facts.
27:15
SPEAKER_01: You know what I'm saying?
27:16
SPEAKER_01: Human, bro.
27:16
SPEAKER_01: And people people say I don't go to church because but you go to the club.
27:21
SPEAKER_01: Misconception.
27:23
SPEAKER_01: You go you go everywhere else.
27:24
SPEAKER_01: So a misconception of that would be what?
27:27
SPEAKER_01: Misconception of what?
27:28
SPEAKER_01: What's your question?
27:28
SPEAKER_01: About the church hurt thing.
27:29
SPEAKER_01: So I mean that's that really ties into what I was saying.
27:31
SPEAKER_01: Like, being hurt by a Christian, like, being hurt by one Christian don't mean that you just gotta categorize all Christians and be like, so that's like saying you go to one restaurant here in Anderson, yeah, and they got the same restaurant in a different city or state.
27:46
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
27:46
SPEAKER_01: So just based on your experience in Anderson, you just not gonna go to this one.
27:50
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
27:50
SPEAKER_01: It could be a totally different experience.
27:52
SPEAKER_01: Or a gym.
27:53
SPEAKER_01: You might have gone to this gym in Anderson, you might have gone to whatever, you know, Planet Fitness in Anderson, but now you somewhere in Texas and you see a planet fitness, you're not gonna go in there just because of your experience at this one place.
28:04
SPEAKER_01: So stop allowing one moment, stop allowing one experience, or even if it's multiple, even if you done had 10, 15, 20 people that proclaim to be Christians and they just done did you dirty.
28:14
SPEAKER_01: They don't speak for the entire Christianity community.
28:18
SPEAKER_01: This is what the Christianity community is supposed to be standing on.
28:20
SPEAKER_01: What's the fruits of the spirit looking like, Wade?
28:23
SPEAKER_01: When you encounter a Christian, y'all, these are the type of quality traits that you should see.
28:28
SPEAKER_01: If you are a Christian and you're watching this live, these are the type of quality traits, characteristics that you yourself should have about yourself.
28:36
SPEAKER_01: And for my people who call themselves Christians or who call themselves following God, we have to also realize that even though we are human, we can't always use that use that as an excuse to act at any kind of way we want to, either.
28:48
SPEAKER_01: Because we're held accountable to show love, to show, to show joy, because we have to understand that we we don't know who we gonna change and who we're gonna affect.
28:58
SPEAKER_01: That's why the world looks at us like we're crazy a lot of times, bro, because they they like, man, he act like that and calling the scene and adding a monkey.
29:05
SPEAKER_01: You know what I'm trying to say?
29:06
SPEAKER_01: And it's like it's better.
29:08

29:25
SPEAKER_03: I've been put away by these older Christians who don't even know how to connect.

30:00
SPEAKER_02: Galatians 5 and 22.
30:05
SPEAKER_01: Another misconception is people think you gotta talk like that to get the point across.
30:08
SPEAKER_01: And you do not have to talk like that at the point.
30:10
SPEAKER_01: I just want to.
30:12
SPEAKER_00: But the point of the cross.
30:13
SPEAKER_01: No, they don't.
30:14

30:15
SPEAKER_01: You say Galatians, what?
30:17
SPEAKER_02: Galatians.
30:20
SPEAKER_02: 22.
30:22
SPEAKER_01: Alright, I'm there.
30:23
SPEAKER_02: But the fruit of the spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, uh-huh, goodness, faithfulness, yeah, gentleness, and self-control.
30:36
SPEAKER_01: And self-control.
30:37
SPEAKER_03: Again, such things, these are.
30:40
SPEAKER_03: There's no law.
30:41
SPEAKER_01: No law.
30:42
SPEAKER_03: Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with this passion and desire.
30:48
SPEAKER_01: I like that.
30:50
SPEAKER_03: Start off with the crucifixion.
30:51
SPEAKER_03: Start off with the crucified.
30:53
SPEAKER_01: We crucify.
30:54
SPEAKER_01: I can't even say crucify.
30:55
SPEAKER_01: One thing about Fragic.
30:57
SPEAKER_01: We crucify our flesh.
30:58
SPEAKER_01: I like that part.
30:59
SPEAKER_01: We crucify our flesh, bro.
31:01
SPEAKER_01: So in moments where your flesh.
31:03
SPEAKER_01: We have to die daily.
31:04
SPEAKER_01: In moments where we want to rise up and be somebody we're not.
31:08
SPEAKER_01: We as Christians and we as followers of God, we as disciples, we have to understand that we need to be submissive to the fruit of the spirit.
31:15
SPEAKER_01: Facts.
31:16
SPEAKER_01: Now I'm saying being in being submissive to the fruit of the spirit.
31:19
SPEAKER_01: What start off with the first one?
31:21
SPEAKER_01: What's the first one?
31:22
SPEAKER_01: Love, right?
31:23
SPEAKER_01: Love.
31:24
SPEAKER_01: Go back to 22, 522.
31:26
SPEAKER_01: Galatians 5.22.
31:28
SPEAKER_01: Love.
31:29
SPEAKER_01: Love.
31:30
SPEAKER_03: It is love.
31:32
SPEAKER_01: What does love look like?
31:33
SPEAKER_01: What does love feel like?
31:35
SPEAKER_01: What is the definition of love from a godly or biblical standpoint?
31:39
SPEAKER_01: What is that?
31:42
SPEAKER_01: Me personally, what I'm gonna say, what I'm gonna say is, is like it say, treat others the way you want to be treated.
31:48
SPEAKER_01: Like they say, the golden golden rule.
31:50
SPEAKER_01: Do unto others that you want done unto you.
31:54
SPEAKER_01: So out of love, I'm not gonna disrespect you verbally.
31:57
SPEAKER_01: Out of love, I'm not gonna disrespect you physically.
32:00
SPEAKER_01: Because out of love, I want to be treated with that same type of respect.
32:04
SPEAKER_01: Alright?
32:04
SPEAKER_01: So that's love, that's love in a nutshell, but love, and then you got joy, peace, and patience.
32:12
SPEAKER_01: As a Christian, we we should be one of the most joyful people walking amongst this earth.
32:19
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
32:19
SPEAKER_01: And why is that?
32:20
SPEAKER_01: It's because we understand that we're living in a temporary location, and when we die, we're going somewhere we're gonna go somewhere permanent that's that where there's no more sorrow, no more pain.
32:30
SPEAKER_01: So just the thought of that alone, you should wake up and find a reason to smile.
32:34
SPEAKER_01: You should find a reason.
32:35
SPEAKER_01: I'm about to say that because we hear, you know, people, and that's why they think we're so perfect, because they're like, oh, you because I heard I've had somebody tell me before about he's like, Y'all act like y'all act like everything's alright when it's really not.
32:45
SPEAKER_01: And I said, that that that's the beauty in it.
32:48
SPEAKER_01: You know what I'm saying?
32:48
SPEAKER_01: Because we're always in expectation for God to do something new and different in our lives.
32:53
SPEAKER_01: So it's like even when moments are chaotic and moments are crazy, but we gotta find a reason to be happy.
32:58
SPEAKER_01: And we have, and to be honest, if you look at your life, and and I I don't really like, I mean, some people say because somebody's life could be worse, but I don't like to think about what their life is, but I like to think about what my life isn't.
33:08
SPEAKER_01: You know what I'm saying?
33:08
SPEAKER_01: And a lot of times I think about, okay, I may have this going on, but I still got my family, my wife's still living, I still got my joy and strength, I still got my children still breathing.
33:17
SPEAKER_01: My child woke up this morning, we still got a roof of our head, we got water.
33:20
SPEAKER_01: So those are the things I gotta be thankful for.
33:22
SPEAKER_01: So I'm gonna walk with joy and gladness.
33:24
SPEAKER_01: You know what I'm saying?
33:25
SPEAKER_01: We love to say this is the day that the Lord has made.
33:27
SPEAKER_01: Let us be glad in it.
33:28
SPEAKER_01: You know what I'm saying to say?
33:29
SPEAKER_01: So I'm gonna be glad, even though my circumstances look rough.
33:34
SPEAKER_01: I'm gonna thank God for what he's about to do.
33:36
SPEAKER_01: Yep.
33:36
SPEAKER_01: You know what I'm saying?
33:37
SPEAKER_01: Yep.

SPEAKER_01: That's not once save, I always save.
34:39
SPEAKER_01: Nah, I know I know, it's not true at all.
34:40
SPEAKER_01: Because a lot of people look at that as like eternal, eternal security, man.
34:44
SPEAKER_01: But I was this what I was kind of mentioning earlier, you know what I'm saying?
34:46
SPEAKER_01: But you know, there's a scripture, and I'm trying to find it, but it says that Go ahead, find it.
34:51
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I'm trying to find it now, but it's it's the one I was talking about earlier when it says, you know, God said he would not pluck us out of his hand or whatever, but a lot of times I believe that we, even though he loves us, but we can take ourselves out of that.
35:03
SPEAKER_01: Basically, like basically at some point in our wall, if we if we did not start denouncing him, denying him, and we turn away from the faith, and we're not actively uh uh practicing saying God, practicing, um practicing the practicing saying, if we're not actively practicing, you know, the walk our walk with God, then we can we can fall from that, bro.
35:20
SPEAKER_01: Facts.
35:21
SPEAKER_01: It's it's and it's easy to fall.
35:23
SPEAKER_01: If you're not actively in your word, if you're not actively around people that's better than themselves and sharpening themselves, and if you're not actively trying to sharpen yourself, like you, it's it's easy to get the all out here.
35:36
SPEAKER_01: It's easy to just fall and slip into all it's it's easy to backslide.
35:39
SPEAKER_01: Now, backsliding doesn't take away your salvation.
35:42
SPEAKER_01: What takes away your salvation is completely your back away from the city.
35:49
SPEAKER_01: He says married to the backslider, and that's one of the things.
35:51
SPEAKER_01: And then it's backslider is somebody who completely don't care no more.
35:54
SPEAKER_01: They don't care no more.
35:54
SPEAKER_01: Yep, it's two different things.
35:56
SPEAKER_01: Two different things.
35:57
SPEAKER_01: Somebody who's struggling with sin versus somebody who don't care about their sin.
36:00
SPEAKER_01: Two different things.
36:01
SPEAKER_01: Them two different people.
36:02
SPEAKER_01: How can we both be saved?
36:04
SPEAKER_01: If I'm doing something I know ain't got no business doing, you doing the same thing.
36:09
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, but I don't care.
36:10
SPEAKER_01: You don't care.
36:11
SPEAKER_01: Yeah my conviction eat me up.
36:13
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I'm trying to fix it.
36:14
SPEAKER_01: You're trying to fix it, but you done settled with it.
36:16
SPEAKER_01: Well, y'all been y'all been in prayers like Lord, I'm I'm stronger than God, take me out of this.
36:21
SPEAKER_01: So I I think about how it says, how the how it says, my sheep know my voice.
36:26
SPEAKER_01: You know what I'm saying?
36:27
SPEAKER_01: So it's like like when we're in him, you know what I'm saying?
36:30
SPEAKER_01: We we we know how he's directing us.
36:32
SPEAKER_01: Like, but once we fall from that, and like you said, when we don't give no more, bro, we we we become not a sheep.
36:37
SPEAKER_01: Facts.
36:37
SPEAKER_01: So we don't we don't left we don't left the uh we don't left.
36:40
SPEAKER_01: No, let the flop.
36:41
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, we don't win our own.
36:42
SPEAKER_01: You know what I'm saying?
36:42
SPEAKER_01: We don't went our own.
36:43
SPEAKER_01: We've decided to go for with our own sinful nature instead of what we know God telling us to do.
36:48
SPEAKER_01: What is that broad is the uh road that leads to destruction?
36:50
SPEAKER_01: Broad is the road that leads to the narrow is the road to life.
36:53
SPEAKER_01: Yep.
36:54
SPEAKER_01: I don't remember what to say verbatim, but yeah.
36:57
SPEAKER_03: Let me ask y'all something.
36:58
SPEAKER_03: So when the Bible said be careful, then you know how your name can be blurted out in the Lamb's book of life, does that play a factor?
37:03
SPEAKER_03: Huh?
37:05
SPEAKER_03: They say your name gonna be you can your name can be blurted out of the Lamb's book of life.
37:09
SPEAKER_03: What about because of what y'all just said.
37:12
SPEAKER_01: But what's the question?
37:13
SPEAKER_01: How true is that?
37:14
SPEAKER_01: Oh, yeah, that's true.
37:15
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, yeah, that's that ties in perfectly with what we're saying.
37:18
SPEAKER_01: Like, basically what he's saying is your name was in there, but it ain't no more.
37:22
SPEAKER_01: Or something like that.
37:23
SPEAKER_01: But once you once you are saved and you accept Christ in your life, like if you want to talk about a key or a gateway, that's that's that's that's how you get in.
37:31
SPEAKER_01: But all throughout scripture, Paul and all them, what he say, I fought a good fight, I finished the race.
37:40
SPEAKER_01: This is a marathon that we on, y'all.
37:43
SPEAKER_01: If you got breath in your body and you proclaim to be a Christian, yeah, this is not a three-month sentence.
37:49
SPEAKER_01: Not a three-month sentence.
37:50
SPEAKER_01: This is not a six-year sentence.
37:51
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
37:52
SPEAKER_01: This is a lifetime, no parole.
37:54
SPEAKER_01: Lifetime.
37:55
SPEAKER_01: So if you're not about that, and if you're not willing to submit for life, how are you reaping the ultimate benefit when there are others who have completely devoted their life to God?
38:12
SPEAKER_01: You have stepping.
38:13
SPEAKER_01: When he say lukewarm, you have you, you you halfway in, you halfway out.
38:16
SPEAKER_01: It's either you, it's either you you you always in or you're not.
38:23
SPEAKER_01: Salvation is not promised or is not it's not once saved, always saved.
38:27
SPEAKER_01: It's once you are saved, do your best to live a life according to what he said.
38:35
SPEAKER_01: Your acts is not what gets you in.
38:37
SPEAKER_01: It's your belief.
38:38
SPEAKER_01: It's your belief.
38:38
SPEAKER_01: But we are, we will be held accountable for what we do.
38:42
SPEAKER_01: Because if you are a true Christian, you're going to want to live by the fruits of it.
38:46
SPEAKER_01: That's what I'm about to say.
38:46
SPEAKER_01: I'm about to say that us Us having that genuine belief and that genuine faith, that's what, that's what produces transformation in our lives.
38:55
SPEAKER_01: You know what I'm saying?
38:56
SPEAKER_01: Us being us being true followers of him and being obedient to him, that's really what produces uh, you know, genuine faith produces transformation.
39:05
SPEAKER_01: So I believe a lot of times that, you know, when we walk in, we walking right, you know what I'm saying?
39:10
SPEAKER_01: We should be living right.
39:11
SPEAKER_01: You know what I'm trying to say?
39:12
SPEAKER_01: But we have to be consistent in that living, consistent in that trying.
39:16
SPEAKER_01: We can't be, we can't be out here just not caring, bro, because that's what's gonna, you know what I'm saying, cause destruction in our lives, you know?
39:23
SPEAKER_01: Yep, yep.
39:24
SPEAKER_01: And at the end of the day, you know, God got the ultimate ultimate say-so.
39:27
SPEAKER_01: So he's the only one that can send somebody to heaven or hell.
39:33
SPEAKER_01: He can move.
39:34
SPEAKER_01: Is salvation available to all?
39:38
unknown: Yeah.
39:38
SPEAKER_01: You say of course, and you say yes so quickly, and I and I agree, but that's a good well, the reason why I say it's a great question is because there's a lot of people out here.

SPEAKER_01: And I'm also reading something that says, you know, um about John 4, 23, 24, the truth means worship grounded in the real knowledge.
43:08
SPEAKER_01: Okay, this okay, okay.
43:09
SPEAKER_01: So worship grounded, worship grounded in the real knowledge of who God is, revealed through God's word, and ultimately through Jesus Christ, who calls himself the truth.
43:20
SPEAKER_01: Alright, you gotta truth pull that away.
43:22
SPEAKER_01: You got it on there.
43:23
SPEAKER_01: Alright.
43:24
SPEAKER_01: So we're gonna go to this brother question right here.
43:26
SPEAKER_01: Johnny just read 22, 23, 24.
43:33
SPEAKER_01: We'll just read all three of y'all.
43:37
SPEAKER_03: This is John 4, uh 22 uh through 23 and 24.
43:42
SPEAKER_03: You Samaritans worship what you're saying.
43:46
SPEAKER_03: You Samaritans worship what you do not know.
43:50
SPEAKER_03: We worship what we do know.
43:52
SPEAKER_03: For salvation is from the Jews.
43:54
SPEAKER_03: Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship.
44:00
SPEAKER_03: The Father in spirit and in truth.
44:02
SPEAKER_03: They are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks.
44:06
SPEAKER_03: God is spirit, and the worshippers must worship in spirit and in truth.
44:11
SPEAKER_03: And truth.
44:13
SPEAKER_01: You answered it earlier.
44:14
SPEAKER_01: What would you say?
44:15
SPEAKER_01: He says I am the way, the truth, and life.
44:18
SPEAKER_01: Who's that?
44:19
SPEAKER_01: God Jesus Christ.
44:21
SPEAKER_01: Hold on now.
44:22
SPEAKER_01: Boy, you just connected the dot.
44:23
SPEAKER_01: Hold on.
44:24
SPEAKER_01: Thank you, John.
44:25
SPEAKER_01: Hold on.
44:26
SPEAKER_01: Boy, you just connect to the dot.
44:27
SPEAKER_01: Hold on, Johnny say that again.
44:32
SPEAKER_01: And the light.
44:33
SPEAKER_01: Who is the way?
44:34
SPEAKER_01: Who is the way, the truth, and the life?
44:35
SPEAKER_01: Jesus.
44:36
SPEAKER_01: That's a connection, bro.
44:37
SPEAKER_01: Because even John 7.17 says, it says, it says, sanctify them by the truth.
44:43
SPEAKER_01: And it says the your word is the truth.
44:45
SPEAKER_01: Word of God, Jesus.
44:46
SPEAKER_01: That's the truth.
44:47
SPEAKER_01: So for God is spirit.
44:49
SPEAKER_01: So those who worship him must worship in spirit and in truth.
44:54
SPEAKER_01: Jesus says that he is the truth.
44:56
SPEAKER_01: Jesus said that he is the way, he is the life.
44:58
SPEAKER_01: I believe that there is a connection there.
45:00
SPEAKER_01: So I believe what it is saying or what it could possibly be saying is worshiping God.
45:06
SPEAKER_01: You worship God through Jesus.
45:07
SPEAKER_01: Worshiping Jesus is how you worship God.
45:09
SPEAKER_01: And also I feel like it's also saying, when it says in truth, I believe it's saying standing on the word of God and just the truth, the truth uh testament of what it's saying and what his word came from and the teachings that you've been learning from the other disciples or anybody that's been been writing the Bible beforehand.
45:26
SPEAKER_01: Anybody that's presenting you the word or presenting you scripture beforehand, standing in that truth and not standing in the lot.
45:32
SPEAKER_01: Because Jesus, when he says, when he says he's the truth, he's presenting himself as the ultimate source.
45:38
SPEAKER_01: You know what I'm saying?
45:39
SPEAKER_01: Thank you, God.
45:39
SPEAKER_01: We thank you.
45:40
SPEAKER_01: You know, we he's he's presenting himself.
45:42
SPEAKER_01: He said, I am the way.
45:43
SPEAKER_01: Yes, sir.
45:44
SPEAKER_01: You guys want to say, Wade?
45:45
SPEAKER_01: He said, I am the way, the truth, and the light.
45:46
SPEAKER_01: He's presenting himself as the ultimate source.
45:49
SPEAKER_01: The one we can rely on.
45:51
SPEAKER_01: That's the truth.
45:52
SPEAKER_01: So I feel that truth is Jesus and it's just standing on the right side of the word.
45:56
SPEAKER_01: Yep.
45:56
SPEAKER_01: That's what that truth is, what I believe is saying.
45:59
SPEAKER_00: What's up?
45:59
SPEAKER_03: What's up, Wade?
46:00
SPEAKER_03: Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think too, sometimes when we say worship in truth, which means that uh it's our life posture as well.
46:07
SPEAKER_03: Because what happens is sometimes we when we worship, we will be worshiping sometimes without flesh.
46:12
SPEAKER_01: That's a good way to put it too.
46:13
SPEAKER_01: Worshiping, worshiping truth meaning worship with your life posture.
46:17
SPEAKER_03: Oh, walk your talk, talk your walk.
46:18
SPEAKER_03: Walk your talk, talk your walk.
46:20
SPEAKER_03: When we worship God, we want to give him everything.
46:23
SPEAKER_03: We don't want to give him what's what's what's what's the the the the uh the weak side of us, the the bad like the you know what I'm saying?
46:30
SPEAKER_03: We don't want to give God that that uh I'm doing this because it's my tradition.
46:34
SPEAKER_03: Yeah, I'm worshiping because this is my tradition.
46:37
SPEAKER_03: I want to worship you and my truth.
46:38
SPEAKER_03: This guy, I need you.
46:40
SPEAKER_03: Yeah, hey, I need you, Lord.
46:42
SPEAKER_03: Yeah, weigh hands up right now.
46:44
SPEAKER_03: So this is what that's what I I think the the life posture of your truth, worshiping the truth.
46:49
SPEAKER_03: So, you know what I'm saying?
46:50
SPEAKER_03: Amen.
46:50
SPEAKER_03: Amen.
46:51
SPEAKER_03: That's good.
46:52
SPEAKER_03: That's good.
46:53
SPEAKER_01: So I mean we we we're gonna conclude that up and say Jesus.
46:56
SPEAKER_01: Jesus.
46:59
SPEAKER_01: Is is salvation available?
47:00
SPEAKER_01: So we was about to answer this question, but we jumped to that one.
47:03
SPEAKER_01: Is salvation available to all?
47:04
SPEAKER_01: I think so because uh go ahead, bro.
47:07
SPEAKER_01: I'm sorry.
47:07
SPEAKER_01: Go ahead.
47:08
SPEAKER_01: I mean, I was gonna do that.
47:08
SPEAKER_01: I think about John 3.16 John 3.16.
47:13
SPEAKER_01: But God so loved the world.
47:14
SPEAKER_01: But God so loved who?
47:15
SPEAKER_01: The world.
47:16
SPEAKER_01: The world.
47:17
SPEAKER_01: What's the world?
47:17
SPEAKER_01: The whosoever.
47:19
SPEAKER_01: Everybody.
47:19
SPEAKER_01: Hold on.
47:20
SPEAKER_01: Who whosoever?
47:22
SPEAKER_01: Yes.
47:22
SPEAKER_01: Believe in him.
47:23
SPEAKER_01: Read pull up the scripture.
47:25
SPEAKER_01: Because people hear John 3.16, but do they really know what it's saying?
47:28
SPEAKER_01: We can look at John 3.16.
47:30
SPEAKER_01: And that's and that's a that's an easy answer right there.
47:33
SPEAKER_01: People are gonna try to twist that and what however they want to twist it.
47:37
SPEAKER_01: If God's a lot of the world, right now from Poochie.
47:40
SPEAKER_01: God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son, that whosoever shall believe in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
47:47
SPEAKER_01: So salvation is available to all through who?
47:51
SPEAKER_01: Jesus Christ.
47:52
SPEAKER_01: So it's available to everybody.
47:53
SPEAKER_01: Because everybody this man came and died for just one particular people?
47:58
SPEAKER_01: And that's what I was saying earlier, bro.
47:59
SPEAKER_01: Like stop thinking that it's so bad that you can't come back to God.
48:05
SPEAKER_01: You know what I'm saying?
48:06
SPEAKER_01: I want to I want to what else was our next question?
48:08
SPEAKER_01: Is there any sin too large to for God to forgive?
48:11
SPEAKER_01: No.
48:12
SPEAKER_01: No.
48:12
SPEAKER_01: It don't matter what to do.
48:13
SPEAKER_01: Because we take away the power, we take away the power of the cross.
48:17
SPEAKER_01: The blood.
48:18
SPEAKER_01: We take away the power of blood.
48:19
SPEAKER_01: Come on now.
48:20
SPEAKER_01: Every sin.
48:21
SPEAKER_01: Since it reaches to the highest mountain, every lowest mountain.
48:24
SPEAKER_01: So there's nothing that you could ever do.
48:27
SPEAKER_01: Nah.
48:28
SPEAKER_01: It don't matter if you kill one person or if you kill a hundred thousand people.
48:31
SPEAKER_01: You know, If you look now from the from the from our standpoint, from a man, like earthly standpoint, of course, we're gonna look at it like, well, no, then no, no, he's going to hell.
48:38
SPEAKER_01: You know what I'm saying?
48:39
SPEAKER_01: Like, we'll look at it like that, but we not God.
48:41
SPEAKER_01: Bro, I was ministering with Charity Springs, and we was out, we was out on the streets, and I ran across this man, he was on the moped, and I stopped him.
48:47
SPEAKER_01: I said, Hey, you know what I'm saying?
48:50
SPEAKER_01: I said, I said, hey, you want some water?
48:52
SPEAKER_01: You know what I'm saying, like that.
48:53
SPEAKER_01: And so, you know, we start talking because I had just got to do praying for this other girl that was on the step that was going through a hard time.
48:57
SPEAKER_01: So I started talking to this man, you know, telling him and you know, asking him, do you know about Jesus and all those things like that?
49:02
SPEAKER_01: And he said, Man, he said, uh, he said, I gotta fix my I gotta fix myself up.
49:08
SPEAKER_01: I ain't I ain't perfect.
49:10
SPEAKER_01: He said, he said, I gotta fix myself up.
49:12
SPEAKER_01: He said, I'm not perfect.
49:13
SPEAKER_01: He said, he's up, he said, I'm not perfect.
49:14
SPEAKER_01: He said that y'all won't want me in there.
49:16
SPEAKER_01: Misconception.
49:17
SPEAKER_01: He said, Y'all, y'all, y'all, y'all, y'all, you know, y'all might judge me for where I've been.
49:21
SPEAKER_01: And I said, and I told him then that moment, I said, nothing that you've done is so bad that you can't come to God.
49:27
SPEAKER_01: And I said, and we need to stop making people feel like in this Christian walk, in this Christian faith, that we're above reproach, that we're above anybody else.
49:36
SPEAKER_01: You're not.
49:37
SPEAKER_01: Nothing is so bad that you cannot come back to the Father.
49:40
SPEAKER_01: Because he's, you know, I think about the prodigal son, you know what I'm saying?
49:42
SPEAKER_01: He's he's there with his arms stretched out, you know, waiting for us to come home.
49:46
SPEAKER_01: You know what I'm saying?
49:47
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
49:47
SPEAKER_01: And so it's like, and I had to tell a man.
49:50
SPEAKER_01: What did Jesus say?
49:51
SPEAKER_01: I don't care if it was that one sheep that was left out there.
49:54
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
49:55
SPEAKER_01: I can have a thousand sheep with me.
49:56
SPEAKER_01: I can have a thousand Christians with me.
49:57
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
49:58
SPEAKER_01: I'll go back for that one.
49:59
SPEAKER_01: You go back for that one.
50:00
SPEAKER_01: He's gonna come back for you.
50:01
SPEAKER_01: He'll come back for you.
50:02
SPEAKER_01: If you specifically, no matter what you did, so get yourself out there penny party, get yourself out of that state of depression.

50:17
SPEAKER_01: You need to be under the jail.
50:18
SPEAKER_01: I know that's how they're looking at you.
50:19
SPEAKER_01: You got some deep dark secrets about yourself.
50:21
SPEAKER_01: You scared to even talk to God privately.
50:24
SPEAKER_01: Because we all done done it, we all done been there, we all done done it.
50:28
SPEAKER_01: Because of how bad you feel like your sin was.
50:31
SPEAKER_01: Yep.
50:32
SPEAKER_01: How could your sin, think about this, your sin can't be worse than the the the uh serpent in the in the garden causing evil to come upon us.
50:44
SPEAKER_01: So no matter what you done did, bro, like God is going to forgive that.
50:49
SPEAKER_01: If you ask for forgiveness, God is gonna if you long as you ask for forgiveness, God is going to forgive you.
50:55

51:05
SPEAKER_01: And don't feel like you you just done lost hope.
51:08
SPEAKER_01: And that's the plan, man.
51:09

51:11
SPEAKER_01: They got questions, we got questions.
51:12
SPEAKER_01: Pull them up.
51:12
SPEAKER_01: What are they talking about?
51:13
SPEAKER_03: Um Ace back at it again.
51:16
SPEAKER_03: He said, uh, I'm gonna read the first question he said.
51:20
SPEAKER_01: Uh so if you're gonna raise your hand, I'm gonna need for you to be ready, sir.
51:25
SPEAKER_01: Hey, we're gonna go.
51:26
SPEAKER_03: Hey, hey, relax.
51:28
SPEAKER_03: How do you know when you're genuinely repentant versus simply feeling guilty?
51:34
SPEAKER_01: Because your repent means to turn away from.
51:37
SPEAKER_01: So basically, when you when you when you truly repent from something, that means you have to the Bible tells us, and we we make it hard a lot of times because we let Lord I just trying to stop.
51:46
SPEAKER_01: But the Bible gives a clear instruction on what to do with sin.
51:48
SPEAKER_01: It says flee.
51:49
SPEAKER_01: Resist the devil and he will flee.
51:51
SPEAKER_01: What flee means?
51:52
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
51:53
SPEAKER_01: Resist the devil.
51:54
SPEAKER_01: Actually, let's let's let's let's let's let's make it right.
51:56
SPEAKER_01: Resist the devil and he will flee.
51:58
SPEAKER_01: You know what I'm saying?
51:58
SPEAKER_01: A lot of times, you know what I'm saying?
52:00
SPEAKER_01: So it's just like repentance is truly saying that I made up my mind, and and and and we all don't struggle with some stuff, because that's the one thing.
52:06
SPEAKER_01: I'm I'm gonna always be transparent.
52:08
SPEAKER_01: We all struggle with some things, but it's making up my mind that I'm no longer going to allow myself to lower my standard any longer.
52:19
SPEAKER_03: Facts.
52:20
SPEAKER_03: He asked another question.
52:21
SPEAKER_03: Hold on, read that, read his question again, the first one, repentance.
52:24
SPEAKER_03: He said, How do you know when you're genuinely repentant versus simply feeling guilty?
52:28
SPEAKER_01: So the guilt is gonna always set in first.
52:31
SPEAKER_01: Well what?
52:31
SPEAKER_01: That conviction be crazy.
52:32
SPEAKER_01: That conviction is gonna eat you up first.
52:34
SPEAKER_01: That's number one.
52:34
SPEAKER_01: When you do something you know you ain't got no business going, it's gonna be on your brain, gonna be in your heart.
52:38
SPEAKER_01: You know what I'm saying?
52:39
SPEAKER_01: Pounding, you know, we all done been in the moments where hands get sweaty, heart racing, almost like you know, when you don't got an F on your book, or you gotta take it home to your mama.
52:49
SPEAKER_01: Like you get one of them type of feelings.
52:51
SPEAKER_01: So the guilt is gonna set in.
52:52
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
52:53
SPEAKER_01: But what I believe that guilt is, is the Holy Spirit talking to us.
52:56
SPEAKER_01: And angel, conviction is good.
52:59
SPEAKER_01: If you doing something you ain't got no business doing, and you start to feel some type of way about it, that's Christ on your life, in your life, speaking to you, trying to get you to, hey, wake up, sir.
53:10
SPEAKER_01: That's him talking to you.
53:12
SPEAKER_01: You know, you've heard about the good angel and the bad angel on your shoulder.
53:14
SPEAKER_01: Whenever you're doing something bad or we're doing something that we know we ain't posed to, we start to get ate up, it started to eat us up.
53:20
SPEAKER_01: Because the word tells us warning comes before destruction.
53:22

SPEAKER_03: Everybody responded to Ace and his comment right here.
53:28
SPEAKER_03: It's a crazy.

53:51

SPEAKER_01: No, it's not.
54:29
SPEAKER_01: God, you can you can say all day in front of mankind that you believe in God and that you say, but at the end of the day, God knows if you're lying.
54:38
SPEAKER_01: He knows what you're doing behind closed doors, and he know if you really truly meaning what you say about how you feel about him.
54:43
SPEAKER_01: And if you truly mean what you say about how you feel about him, your actions are going to show that.
54:49
SPEAKER_01: You're not gonna get around that.
54:50
SPEAKER_01: You can't, that that grace, that grace excuse is out the window.
54:54
SPEAKER_01: Yes, he's going to forgive you if you ask for forgiveness because he knows we're not perfect.
55:00
SPEAKER_01: But if you continuously are doing something and thinking, oh, God just gonna forgive me, that's not how this works.
55:06
SPEAKER_01: Bro, and then we have to understand that when we continuously do what we want outside of the wheel, that our actions have consequences.

55:58
SPEAKER_01: He probably talking about like the en lineage, bro.
56:00
SPEAKER_01: But yeah, man, like we we uh well, you got some more questions in the comments.
56:05
SPEAKER_03: Is God's grace covers sin?
56:07
SPEAKER_03: Why should a Christian?
56:08
SPEAKER_03: Somebody's in the saying Marlon G said, nice work, fellas.
56:10
SPEAKER_03: Hit that my God is awesome again for me.
56:12
SPEAKER_01: I'm gonna um My God is awesome.
56:15
SPEAKER_01: I'm gonna expand on this question a little bit more though, eh?
56:18
SPEAKER_01: If God's grace covers sin, why should a Christian care about changing their behavior?
56:23
SPEAKER_01: Because it's somebody who is struggling or somebody who don't believe God at all, like we talked about, and you are gonna be that light for that person.
56:32
SPEAKER_01: Pull up the salt, pull up, pull up what's good, pull up the salt scripture.
56:36
SPEAKER_01: If it done lost its flavor.
56:38
SPEAKER_01: Pull that scripture away.
56:39
SPEAKER_01: What's good what's good what why if you if you probably don't Johnny know I'm talking about you have to do it?
56:45
SPEAKER_01: Pull up, pull up.
56:47
SPEAKER_01: You are the salt.
56:50
SPEAKER_01: I know what he's saying.
56:52
SPEAKER_01: You are the salt of the earth.
56:53
SPEAKER_03: She looked at that and turned into a salt pillow.
56:56
SPEAKER_01: No, not not the thing.
56:57
SPEAKER_01: No, not like you are the salt of the earth.
57:00
SPEAKER_01: What good is the salt of his losses flavor?
57:01
SPEAKER_01: What's good as what good is the salt of his losses flavor?
57:05
SPEAKER_01: So the reason why you need to change your behavior, bro, despite God's grace, is because we are to be living our lives.
57:14
SPEAKER_01: Matthew 5.13.
57:15
SPEAKER_01: Matthew 5.13 read it.
57:17
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
57:17
SPEAKER_01: You are the salt of the earth, but if the salt loses its saltiness.
57:23
SPEAKER_01: You're fighting.
57:24
SPEAKER_01: No, it's plant, just plan, it's plant, yeah.
57:26
SPEAKER_01: But you are the salt of the earth, but if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again?
57:32
SPEAKER_01: It is no longer good for anything except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot.
57:37
SPEAKER_01: You are the light of the world.
57:38
SPEAKER_01: A town built on a hill cannot be hidden.
57:41
SPEAKER_01: That part right there.
57:42
SPEAKER_01: So this is why.
57:43
SPEAKER_01: This is why you should care about changing your life.
57:45
SPEAKER_01: Because you light.
57:46
SPEAKER_01: You light you the light.
57:47
SPEAKER_01: It cannot be hidden.
57:48
SPEAKER_01: It's so much darkness in this world.
57:50
SPEAKER_01: Why are you trying to blend in with the darkness?
57:53
SPEAKER_01: Yup.
57:54
SPEAKER_01: Yup.
57:56
SPEAKER_03: What's up?
57:57
SPEAKER_03: Come on.
58:00
SPEAKER_03: Why do most Christians celebrate Christmas and not Passover?
58:05
SPEAKER_01: Why do most Christians celebrate Christmas and not Passover?
58:09
SPEAKER_03: Let's look it up.
58:10
SPEAKER_01: Who asked that question?
58:12
SPEAKER_01: Abil Ben Israel.
58:14
SPEAKER_01: Remove him from the comment.
58:15
SPEAKER_01: No, I'm just playing.
58:17
SPEAKER_01: Good question, bro.
58:17
SPEAKER_01: I know, I know what bro is.
58:19
SPEAKER_01: Um, so so Passover, go ahead and look it up, though, Johnny, but I'm gonna I'm gonna go ahead and just go off what I believe, uh, what I done read about it before.
58:28
SPEAKER_01: But ain't Passover, isn't Passover the thing that happened in the Old Testament where no, hold on, is this not was that not the Passover?
58:37
SPEAKER_01: The Passover when he passed over the people and they didn't he didn't kill certain, like certain people didn't die for a certain reason, and it was called the Passover.
58:45
SPEAKER_01: Oh, in Goshen.
58:46
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, in Goshen when in uh when in Egypt when they were coming out of when they were coming out of the Moses.
58:52
SPEAKER_01: He marked them with the blood of the lamb, yeah.
58:53
SPEAKER_01: That was the Passover.
58:54
SPEAKER_01: First door, yeah.
58:55
SPEAKER_01: So I have an answer right here, too.
58:56
SPEAKER_01: Oh, but go ahead and read your answer.
58:58
SPEAKER_03: Uh Christians do not universally celebrate the Passover today because the church gradually shifted its focus from the Old Testament feast itself to Christ, the true Passover lamb and the celebration of his death and the resurrection.
59:10
SPEAKER_03: I was gonna say that's more old testament.
59:12
SPEAKER_01: From an old testament standpoint, as far as celebrations and as far as they they practice, I don't really believe there's nothing in there that we require to do.
59:22
SPEAKER_01: Now, John did, John the Baptist, you know, he did call Jesus the Lamb of God because, you know, they have their correlations because I think everything scripture interprets scripture and it points to different it most things point to Jesus.
59:34
SPEAKER_01: You know what I'm saying?
59:35
SPEAKER_01: Using the blood as a sacrifice.
59:36
SPEAKER_01: How we have how exactly how using the blood as a sacrifice, how they how they had to use the blood of their door as protection.
59:43
SPEAKER_01: Now we had him, his, his, his death, his his death on the cross, the blood he shared for us now, our protection now.
59:49
SPEAKER_01: Facts.
59:49
SPEAKER_01: You know what I'm saying?
59:50
SPEAKER_01: So basically, that's why he said, that's why when Jesus said he said, I didn't come to abolish the law, I came to fulfill it.
59:56
SPEAKER_01: He fulfilled everything that happened.
59:57
SPEAKER_01: Hey! He came, he fulfilled everything that was happening.
59:59
SPEAKER_01: That was good to me.
1:00:00
SPEAKER_01: Sorry, y'all.
1:00:01
SPEAKER_01: He fulfilled everything that happened in the past.
1:00:03
SPEAKER_01: When he came and stepped on the scene, what's up, bro?
1:00:07
unknown: We had over an hour and 13.
1:00:08
SPEAKER_01: Oh, yeah, we're gonna we're gonna wrap it up.
1:00:10
SPEAKER_01: We're gonna wrap it up soon.
1:00:11
SPEAKER_01: You're gonna wrap it up soon because I gotta get I gotta go to work them all.
1:00:13
SPEAKER_01: My nah, I love the question though, y'all.
1:00:14
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, but anyway, when Jesus Christ stepped on the scene, man, he he came and fulfilled a lot of the old stuff that we used to do and we used to live by.
1:00:21
SPEAKER_01: I'm not saying that if you celebrate the Passover, you're wrong.
1:00:24
SPEAKER_01: That's not what I'm saying.
1:00:25
SPEAKER_01: If you want to do that, that's cool.
1:00:27
SPEAKER_01: I don't know the exact date or time or when it is, but if you want to acknowledge it sometime during the year, I don't believe it's anything wrong with that.
1:00:34
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
1:00:36
SPEAKER_01: That's right.
1:00:37
SPEAKER_01: That's that that that's that's a good way to do it.
1:00:40
SPEAKER_01: We're gonna do one, we're gonna do, we're gonna do one more live question, y'all, and then we're gonna solve this thing up.
1:00:45
SPEAKER_01: You know what I'm saying?
1:00:45
SPEAKER_01: We got to say something about um speaking tongues.
1:00:48
SPEAKER_01: Auntie boy.
1:00:49
SPEAKER_01: I mean, if the if the Holy Spirit is within you.
1:00:52

1:00:57
SPEAKER_01: If you yeah, because he gives us many gifts.
1:00:59
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, yeah.
1:01:00
SPEAKER_01: Scripture talks about a different matter of fact, well, you know, in the day, the scriptures say to some he gave the ability to do this, to some he gave the ability to do that.
1:01:09
SPEAKER_01: That's on the day, the day.
1:01:10
SPEAKER_01: On the day of Pentecost.
1:01:11
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I was at the day of Pentecost.
1:01:13
SPEAKER_01: When the Spirit spill upon me, you can't do what just because I can't do what Johnny does, it don't mean that the Holy Spirit ain't within me.
1:01:20
SPEAKER_01: Because I'm always I'm always strapping up.
1:01:22
SPEAKER_01: I'm always with that.
1:01:23
SPEAKER_01: Nice plan.
1:01:24
SPEAKER_01: Wait, wait, uh But uh we always caring, baby.
1:01:28
SPEAKER_01: Nice plan, but uh, something they have a lot of questions.
1:01:31
SPEAKER_01: We're gonna finish up with her last last two questions.
1:01:33
SPEAKER_03: He basically uh asked, the scripture says the whole Bible is profitable, correct?
1:01:38
SPEAKER_03: I think he responded to somebody else.
1:01:40
SPEAKER_01: The scripture says what?
1:01:41
SPEAKER_03: You were I think he was talking about the whole Bible is profitable.
1:01:45
unknown: He was talking to somebody.
1:01:46
SPEAKER_01: Okay.
1:01:49
SPEAKER_01: I guess I can say this about the Bible or a misconception about Christianity before we get out of here.
1:01:55
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
1:01:55
SPEAKER_01: What?
1:01:57
SPEAKER_01: Of course, I got one misconception.
1:01:59
SPEAKER_03: Go ahead, wait that uh people think that the church is a business.
1:02:05
SPEAKER_01: People think that church is a business.
1:02:07
SPEAKER_01: Oh, yeah, they talk about you know they always for themselves they always want to make money.
1:02:11
SPEAKER_01: And that's what you're saying.
1:02:12
SPEAKER_01: You know, people yeah, you say that a lot of times too.
1:02:13
SPEAKER_01: That's that's that's that church hurt all the time.
1:02:15
SPEAKER_01: I've had people, I've had people say that.
1:02:16
SPEAKER_01: But they just want to make money.
1:02:17
SPEAKER_01: They don't say people differ for money.
1:02:19
SPEAKER_01: Because some churches do though, but they but they go back to what I was saying.
1:02:22
SPEAKER_01: Just because their church did it, I mean all churches.
1:02:24
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, but you can't have a relationship with God for yourself.
1:02:26
SPEAKER_01: Just because they just because Mr.
1:02:29
SPEAKER_01: Johnson, Pastor, just because Pastor Johnson over here was money laundering the money that y'all was giving, ties, and offering to, that don't mean that Pastor Stewart was over here doing it.
1:02:39
SPEAKER_01: So don't hold Pastor Stewart and his church to the fire.
1:02:42
SPEAKER_01: You know what I'm saying?
1:02:43
SPEAKER_01: Don't don't make it seem like his church is wrong or the church that he's leading is wrong, or because they did it wrong.

SPEAKER_01: That's my pastor now.
1:03:00
SPEAKER_01: And Pastor Stewart is another pastor.
1:03:02
SPEAKER_01: But what's crazy is I think they were just saying two last names.
1:03:04
SPEAKER_01: I wasn't even trying to coordinate.
1:03:05
SPEAKER_01: I would right, but I had to say that because I know somebody's gonna see this and try to say something.
