Eight hundred five to zero 11 00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:45,960 Speaker 3: one five three four. That's eight hundred five to zero 12 00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:52,200 Speaker 3: one five three four, Keith. Welcome to the Jesus Christ Show. 13 00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:56,760 Speaker 4: Hi, Jesus, Hi Keith. 14 00:00:56,760 --> 00:00:57,560 Speaker 2: How can I help you? 15 00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:00,600 Speaker 5: I have for you? 16 00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:13,080 Speaker 4: Was Mary born without original sin? And or did it 17 00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:14,959 Speaker 4: happen after conception? 18 00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:31,920 Speaker 2: What you mean sin? What happened after conception hers? Or mine? 19 00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:33,480 Speaker 6: No? 20 00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:37,440 Speaker 4: After her conception? Yeah? 21 00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:37,880 Speaker 2: Okay. 22 00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:46,840 Speaker 3: So the Immaculate Conception is basically is dogma to the 23 00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:50,920 Speaker 3: Catholic Church as of about eighteen fifty four. 24 00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:53,800 Speaker 2: And that is. 25 00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:59,120 Speaker 3: The belief that Mary was born without sin from the 26 00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:02,960 Speaker 3: womb she was detected, and that my mother was without sin. 27 00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:07,960 Speaker 3: Protestants do not believe this. This is one of the 28 00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:12,720 Speaker 3: tenants in the separations of the Church. Of course, Protestants 29 00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:19,519 Speaker 3: slowed down. The word is Protestant. They were protesting the 30 00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:23,920 Speaker 3: church at the time. So the church is split and divided, 31 00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:33,800 Speaker 3: and then you had Catholics, the universal Church separate into Protestants, 32 00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:40,280 Speaker 3: and so the Protestants, the Protestants do not believe in 33 00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:43,120 Speaker 3: the virgin birth. And there's a couple of reasons why. 34 00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:49,080 Speaker 3: So we'll go from scripture, not from dogma. With respect 35 00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:55,680 Speaker 3: to our Catholic brothers and sisters, there is no place 36 00:02:56,000 --> 00:03:00,560 Speaker 3: in scripture that says Mary is without sin as a 37 00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:06,680 Speaker 3: matter of as a matter of fact, there is scripture 38 00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:09,920 Speaker 3: after scripture after scripture that says there is no one 39 00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:20,519 Speaker 3: except Christ who is sinless. So that's a really, you know, 40 00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:24,240 Speaker 3: a problematic when you read Romans three twenty three saying 41 00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:29,160 Speaker 3: for all all have sinned and fallen short of the 42 00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:33,280 Speaker 3: glory of God. The only one that's ever talked about 43 00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:38,040 Speaker 3: being outside of that says in John one, John one 44 00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:40,760 Speaker 3: eight through ten. If we say we have no sin, 45 00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:43,840 Speaker 3: we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. 46 00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:47,120 Speaker 3: If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just 47 00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:51,160 Speaker 3: to forgive us, and so on and so forth. There 48 00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:59,200 Speaker 3: are throughout Scripture many cases where it talks about that 49 00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:03,200 Speaker 3: everybody other than Christ. 50 00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:06,000 Speaker 2: Is with sin. 51 00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:13,640 Speaker 3: Also, Mary, my mother refers to me in scripture as savior, 52 00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:24,160 Speaker 3: savior of what being the savior is to refer to salvation, 53 00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:30,120 Speaker 3: and salvation is there in regards to sin and the 54 00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:34,559 Speaker 3: sin nature that comes through the bloodline after the fall 55 00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:41,720 Speaker 3: in the garden. So ultimately it's a tough cell through scripture. 56 00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:47,839 Speaker 3: But in deference to our Catholic brothers and sisters listening, 57 00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:55,200 Speaker 3: they have beliefs that are in addition to Scripture, which 58 00:04:55,240 --> 00:05:00,719 Speaker 3: is dogma and their understanding therein so that ties in 59 00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:06,480 Speaker 3: to their belief system, and so that adds another insight 60 00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:10,479 Speaker 3: as to why they believe what they believe and where 61 00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:14,040 Speaker 3: it falls in their belief system. That is outside of scripture. 62 00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:20,160 Speaker 3: There's nothing in scripture that talks about that or being. 63 00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:24,680 Speaker 3: Those are things that grew later. There are some historians 64 00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:28,120 Speaker 3: and theologians that believe, and keep in mind there's a 65 00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:30,880 Speaker 3: bias in all those that if they're Protestants, they're going 66 00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:32,920 Speaker 3: to look at it from a Protestant point of view, 67 00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:37,039 Speaker 3: but believe that it was to enhance the prominence of 68 00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:42,599 Speaker 3: Mary in hopes of getting women more interested in the 69 00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:46,359 Speaker 3: church at the time. So it depends where you land 70 00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:49,280 Speaker 3: on those things. But scripturally, which is where this show 71 00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:52,359 Speaker 3: focuses on, even though we do look at history and 72 00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:55,200 Speaker 3: those things as well, but try to remove it from 73 00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:59,839 Speaker 3: the seeding of one particular church and focus on the 74 00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:03,919 Speaker 3: scripture that defines and appointed all things and continues to 75 00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:07,159 Speaker 3: be a direction for all that is known has been 76 00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:10,839 Speaker 3: known from the words of God. 77 00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:15,200 Speaker 1: You're listening to KFI A M six forty on demand. 78 00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:19,359 Speaker 2: Lauria, Welcome to the Jesus Christ Show. 79 00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:22,479 Speaker 5: Dear Jesus, thank you. 80 00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:26,359 Speaker 7: I'm grateful for taking my call. I've tried for a 81 00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:31,240 Speaker 7: long time quickly and I hope to be articulate. I'm 82 00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:33,240 Speaker 7: nervous that I am even talking to you. 83 00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:35,400 Speaker 5: Oh, no, saying what I want to say. 84 00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:39,839 Speaker 7: I've for the last couple of years now, I've been 85 00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:43,800 Speaker 7: doing research on the Holy Spirit. It was just something 86 00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:48,400 Speaker 7: that came to me and I got into. I think 87 00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:53,880 Speaker 7: it'snumalogy if I pronounce that correctly. There's things that I 88 00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:56,520 Speaker 7: agree with, things that I don't agree with, But I 89 00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:59,600 Speaker 7: am totally one hundred percent into the Holy Spirit, And 90 00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:05,039 Speaker 7: somewhere somewhere in my research, I came across something that said, 91 00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:10,320 Speaker 7: there are sins that we commit that are unforgivable by 92 00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:13,920 Speaker 7: the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is the spirit of God. 93 00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:18,760 Speaker 7: And I've mentioned this to some of my friends that 94 00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:23,600 Speaker 7: we discuss the Holy Spirit and other things, and they disagree. 95 00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:27,080 Speaker 7: They say that there is there is not a sin 96 00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:35,400 Speaker 7: that is unforgivable, that is forgivable, not articulating that, correct, 97 00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:42,600 Speaker 7: I read that we can commit sins that are unforgivable 98 00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:45,600 Speaker 7: by the Holy Spirit. Am I correct? 99 00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:46,760 Speaker 2: There is one? 100 00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:52,080 Speaker 3: So first of all, numatology numology or when you're studying 101 00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:55,360 Speaker 3: that's like lungs or things like that, or there are 102 00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:55,960 Speaker 3: certain things. 103 00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:57,240 Speaker 2: They come from the same word. 104 00:07:57,320 --> 00:08:00,880 Speaker 3: Actually it means breath or it means like the breath 105 00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:05,280 Speaker 3: of life, so they come from similar places. But one 106 00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:09,920 Speaker 3: is the study of the theological concept of the spirit. 107 00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:13,000 Speaker 3: So there is something in scripture that is called the 108 00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:18,040 Speaker 3: blasphemy of the Holy Spirit, and it can be very 109 00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:22,200 Speaker 3: confusing to some. So I'm going to even know even 110 00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:27,360 Speaker 3: though that every analogy breaks down at some point, they're 111 00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:30,880 Speaker 3: used as an illustration to help understand bigger concepts. So 112 00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:35,760 Speaker 3: let's look at this for a second. If you're driving, 113 00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:43,760 Speaker 3: heaven forbid down a road towards a cliff that if 114 00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:48,000 Speaker 3: you go off the cliff you most certainly will pass, 115 00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:54,719 Speaker 3: and it is lined with loved ones, and they are 116 00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:57,960 Speaker 3: calling out to you as you drive, and they say, Gloria, 117 00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:01,400 Speaker 3: stop the car. You're going to go over a cliff, 118 00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:04,400 Speaker 3: and you ignore them and you continue to drive. And 119 00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:08,600 Speaker 3: then people say, stop, Gloria, there's a cliff at the end. 120 00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:11,040 Speaker 3: You will go over it and you will surely die, 121 00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:16,800 Speaker 3: and you continue to go forward, with all the people 122 00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:19,600 Speaker 3: and the loved ones in your life saying don't do it, Gloria. 123 00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:21,280 Speaker 2: You still go. 124 00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:27,800 Speaker 3: You pierce that break between the ground and now the sky, 125 00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:31,280 Speaker 3: and your vehicle goes over. 126 00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:33,280 Speaker 2: The cliff. 127 00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:39,720 Speaker 3: Your realization now is confirmed. Oh my gosh, they were right. 128 00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:46,280 Speaker 3: There is no going back after that. You've ignored everything 129 00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:49,839 Speaker 3: and you can't say, oh, I want to do over. 130 00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:52,160 Speaker 2: It's done. 131 00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:55,720 Speaker 3: That is the conviction of your belief. That is the 132 00:09:55,760 --> 00:10:02,560 Speaker 3: finalization the consequences of your decision, your choice of free will. Now, 133 00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:08,719 Speaker 3: using that, let's go back and talk about the Trinity, 134 00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:12,040 Speaker 3: the Father of the Son, and the Holy Spirit. It 135 00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:16,080 Speaker 3: is simple to say, the Holy Spirit woos you and 136 00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:19,200 Speaker 3: taps on your heart and brings you to Christ. The 137 00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:23,320 Speaker 3: belief and conviction of the death and the cross of 138 00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:28,079 Speaker 3: perfection in the sinless one brings you to the Father 139 00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:34,640 Speaker 3: because that bridge was broken. So you need that process 140 00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:38,960 Speaker 3: of the Spirit bringing you to Christ, bringing you to 141 00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:45,680 Speaker 3: the Father in the harmony of the Trinity. If you 142 00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:52,920 Speaker 3: ignore the Spirit. Now they refer to this as giving. 143 00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:58,040 Speaker 3: It talks about the blaspheming the Holy Spirit being crediting 144 00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:05,800 Speaker 3: things in properly, not crediting the Spirit properly or crediting 145 00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:12,200 Speaker 3: it improperly. Imagine this. The Spirit is those people, your 146 00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:14,320 Speaker 3: friends and family standing on the side of the road 147 00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:20,439 Speaker 3: wooing you to no Christ. If you reject that, if 148 00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:26,320 Speaker 3: you blaspheme, if you reject the wooing of the Holy Spirit, 149 00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:36,720 Speaker 3: which Christ himself left for people for humans to be 150 00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:41,640 Speaker 3: the mighty comforter and to bring them through the salvation 151 00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:44,960 Speaker 3: into the hands in the arms of the Father. If 152 00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:52,400 Speaker 3: you ignore that unto death, it's as final as being 153 00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:53,960 Speaker 3: off the other side of the cliff. 154 00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:56,760 Speaker 2: You can't come back from that. 155 00:11:56,960 --> 00:12:02,000 Speaker 3: Because if you reject God unto death, that's your last 156 00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:08,880 Speaker 3: decision and that is respected by God. 157 00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:20,880 Speaker 7: Wow, is there any scriptures that I can hold on to? 158 00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:28,079 Speaker 7: When I mentioned this to my friends, it's not. 159 00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:31,120 Speaker 3: About a literal scripture where you read this one thing. 160 00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:35,080 Speaker 3: It's about the hermonoutics. The balance of scripture, the harmony 161 00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:41,760 Speaker 3: of scripture shows that the Holy Spirit is left for humans. 162 00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:45,160 Speaker 3: We know that the Holy Spirit brings people to me, 163 00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:49,480 Speaker 3: That brings people to the Father. When you put these 164 00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:53,640 Speaker 3: things together, that is the only finality that you can 165 00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:57,760 Speaker 3: do to God is with free will, reject God. God 166 00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:02,560 Speaker 3: will not force himself. Hell is not designed for people. 167 00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:07,440 Speaker 3: Hell's is designed for fallen angels. Humans are the only 168 00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:09,440 Speaker 3: ones that make a decision to go there or not. 169 00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:10,280 Speaker 2: If you. 170 00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:16,280 Speaker 3: Don't love God and serve God for ninety one hundred 171 00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:20,000 Speaker 3: years on this planet, why would you want to be 172 00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:24,280 Speaker 3: forced to for eternity. God gives people with free will 173 00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:30,920 Speaker 3: the ability to not do that. But once you make 174 00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:36,360 Speaker 3: that decision, God says, either my will be done or 175 00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:39,480 Speaker 3: thy will be done. And in the case of thy 176 00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:42,240 Speaker 3: will be done, that means you have made yourself God 177 00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:45,319 Speaker 3: and you will have the consequences Therein. 178 00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:49,559 Speaker 1: You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand. 179 00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:57,400 Speaker 3: Let's talk to Christopher, who's been incredibly patient. Welcome to 180 00:13:57,400 --> 00:13:58,360 Speaker 3: the Jesus Christ Show. 181 00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:02,040 Speaker 6: Thank Jesus, the Happy Birthday. 182 00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:03,120 Speaker 2: Thank you. 183 00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:08,680 Speaker 6: I have a couple of questions for you. Okay, I 184 00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:14,640 Speaker 6: was wondering how come you were uh nailed? 185 00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:15,600 Speaker 4: I guess I. 186 00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:19,760 Speaker 6: Wouldn't saying I don't know if nailed is the correct word, 187 00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:22,880 Speaker 6: but how come you were like nailed to the cross? 188 00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:26,720 Speaker 8: Because I saw pictures of you, and I. 189 00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:30,200 Speaker 6: Saw blood coming out of your hands and your feet, 190 00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:35,200 Speaker 6: And my second question is how how did you those 191 00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:38,080 Speaker 6: rise rise up on your birthday? 192 00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:43,280 Speaker 3: Well, actually there's a there's a lot to unravel there, uh, 193 00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:50,040 Speaker 3: Christopher fort a couple of things. One, yes, nailed pierced, 194 00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:54,440 Speaker 3: uh nailed to the cross. That was I wasn't the 195 00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:56,880 Speaker 3: only one that was ever nailed to a tree across 196 00:14:56,920 --> 00:15:03,960 Speaker 3: a post. That was crucifixion was something that predates my crucifixion. 197 00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:08,080 Speaker 3: But if you look at the timeline, you're talking about 198 00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:12,320 Speaker 3: getting confused with Christmas and Easter and the birth and 199 00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:16,320 Speaker 3: the resurrection and all of those things. So it's kind 200 00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:22,240 Speaker 3: of hard to that's the way to say it, unravel 201 00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:24,720 Speaker 3: that particular particular. 202 00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:25,480 Speaker 2: Ball of yarn. 203 00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:33,360 Speaker 3: So see the piercing. Yes, Piercing didn't rise from the 204 00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:37,800 Speaker 3: dead on Christmas. Christmas, the celebration of Christmas is actually 205 00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:44,720 Speaker 3: my birth. I hope that helps help Mark. Welcome to 206 00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:45,880 Speaker 3: the Jesus christ Shaw. 207 00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:50,960 Speaker 4: I asked that a question I believe in scripture refers 208 00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:53,760 Speaker 4: to you as the only begotten Son of God, and 209 00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:55,120 Speaker 4: I was wondering if that. 210 00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:59,440 Speaker 5: Was an inference to the physical conception with Mary and 211 00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:00,760 Speaker 5: God the. 212 00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:02,080 Speaker 9: What are your thoughts on that? 213 00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:08,840 Speaker 3: Okay, so this causes people confusion because of translations. If 214 00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:11,680 Speaker 3: you go back whenever there's some sort of confusion or 215 00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:14,640 Speaker 3: you're not sure as to what the meaning might be. 216 00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:16,280 Speaker 2: There's a couple of things that are important. 217 00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:19,680 Speaker 3: Context is important, making sure that it's seated in the 218 00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:21,160 Speaker 3: context of what's being said. 219 00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:24,160 Speaker 2: Also, how is that same word used? 220 00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:30,960 Speaker 3: Ancient languages often use things like context, same as you 221 00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:35,280 Speaker 3: do today, but they had less words than the vocabulary 222 00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:39,640 Speaker 3: of let's say English today or modern English. So if 223 00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:43,240 Speaker 3: you start to break that down and you see it 224 00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:47,200 Speaker 3: in its context, it's like Mark, if I said I 225 00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:50,440 Speaker 3: was working on a table, Well, if I'm a mathematician, 226 00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:53,360 Speaker 3: it might be a mathematical table. If I'm a carpenter, 227 00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:55,880 Speaker 3: I might be making a table. If I'm working on 228 00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:59,840 Speaker 3: some art, I might be actually working on the table, drawing, painting, 229 00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:04,000 Speaker 3: doing whatever on the table. So context is important. Secondly 230 00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:08,119 Speaker 3: is to not take the translation per se, but to 231 00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:10,919 Speaker 3: go back and look at the actual words. So in 232 00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:13,760 Speaker 3: this case, when you go back and you look at 233 00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:16,760 Speaker 3: the actual word that's being used there in the Greek, 234 00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:23,120 Speaker 3: it's monogenous and has two primary definitions. So the first 235 00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:25,520 Speaker 3: one to be pertaining to being the only one of 236 00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:33,040 Speaker 3: its kind within a specific relationship. Okay, So Hebrews eleven seventeen, 237 00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:37,399 Speaker 3: for his instance, it says by faith Abraham, when he 238 00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:41,800 Speaker 3: was tested, offered up Isaac, and he who had received 239 00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:44,679 Speaker 3: the promises, was in the act of ordering up his 240 00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:50,400 Speaker 3: only son, used the same word. But Abraham had more 241 00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:53,640 Speaker 3: than one son, so it was talking about the relationship 242 00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:56,120 Speaker 3: was specific, not talking about. 243 00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:58,200 Speaker 2: Only being begotten. 244 00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:01,560 Speaker 3: See you go through Leviticus, and you see so and so, 245 00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:03,560 Speaker 3: we got so and so and all of these things. 246 00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:06,080 Speaker 3: You start thinking, well, then that means they gave birth 247 00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:10,639 Speaker 3: to But that's not the truth. The other usage of 248 00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:14,480 Speaker 3: the word monogenus that is translated in the King James, 249 00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:20,040 Speaker 3: which is the one that causes the most confusion. It 250 00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:28,320 Speaker 3: refers to a specific uniqueness, a uniqueness that is one 251 00:18:28,359 --> 00:18:32,960 Speaker 3: of a kind, a unique in its kind, unique in. 252 00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:36,360 Speaker 2: Its definition, and that's what is used there. 253 00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:41,200 Speaker 3: It's not talking about being born or being a God's 254 00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:43,639 Speaker 3: son in the sense that I'm not God, because it 255 00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:50,320 Speaker 3: says it says differently in First John, in the beginning 256 00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:52,320 Speaker 3: was the word. The word was with God, the word 257 00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:56,960 Speaker 3: was God. And that's very specific as to who I 258 00:18:57,160 --> 00:19:00,480 Speaker 3: was in the context of scripture. So here monoch genus, 259 00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:04,399 Speaker 3: the Greek word is used to say one of a kind, 260 00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:07,920 Speaker 3: not begotten in the sense that there was a physical 261 00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:09,200 Speaker 3: birth or any of those things. 262 00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:10,919 Speaker 2: Because I predate my birth. 263 00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:15,080 Speaker 3: There are times they're called Christophanes in scripture where you 264 00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:19,560 Speaker 3: can find that I pre exist the physical self that 265 00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:21,160 Speaker 3: comes later in scripture. 266 00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:26,120 Speaker 1: You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand. 267 00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:33,240 Speaker 3: We have just one more segment here, so let's get 268 00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:36,920 Speaker 3: to it and talk with Stephen. Stephen, Welcome to the 269 00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:37,800 Speaker 3: Jesus Christ Show. 270 00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:42,879 Speaker 5: Hello, Unhappy anniversary of birth, my Holy host. 271 00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:45,880 Speaker 2: Thank you. How can I help you today? Stephen? 272 00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:52,040 Speaker 5: Well, question regarding I guess the church history more or less. 273 00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:54,920 Speaker 5: At one point in the early history of the church 274 00:19:55,040 --> 00:20:02,560 Speaker 5: after your death, did the church determine this period to 275 00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:09,679 Speaker 5: be a holy day or a recognized day annually to 276 00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:10,640 Speaker 5: what we know today. 277 00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:13,399 Speaker 3: It's interesting that you asked that, because if you go 278 00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:15,040 Speaker 3: back and you really trace. 279 00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:16,960 Speaker 2: It, it wasn't. Really. 280 00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:20,040 Speaker 3: There are some that celebrate, just like there is anything, 281 00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:23,760 Speaker 3: but there was not as much interest early on as 282 00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:27,320 Speaker 3: one might think. Wasn't until the fourth century that the 283 00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:32,240 Speaker 3: church kind of formalized it. But basically, the December twenty 284 00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:36,359 Speaker 3: fifth stuff was kind of trying to push out the 285 00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:42,440 Speaker 3: robin pagan winter Solstice stuff, so like festivals like Saturnalia 286 00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:44,560 Speaker 3: and things like that, the worst being of the sun 287 00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:48,920 Speaker 3: and they would try and kind of put that. So 288 00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:53,000 Speaker 3: the feast of the Nativity and these types of things 289 00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:57,200 Speaker 3: push that out. Christmas comes from Christ's Mass. 290 00:20:57,640 --> 00:20:59,080 Speaker 2: It's an old name. 291 00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:02,840 Speaker 3: For church service, for the church service, and then you 292 00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:06,080 Speaker 3: have Saint Nicholas and these things and decorations and Kierlyn 293 00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:10,560 Speaker 3: came later. But if you look at early history, you'll 294 00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:13,440 Speaker 3: find that a lot of it was filled with debauchery. 295 00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:15,880 Speaker 3: I mean, there were a lot of people that celebrated, 296 00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:19,720 Speaker 3: but you know, a bit differently. There was a lot 297 00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:24,040 Speaker 3: of drinking and things like that out in the streets 298 00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:26,600 Speaker 3: and the like. Well, let's see if we squeeze one more. Kathy, 299 00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:28,000 Speaker 3: Welcome to the Jesus Christ Show. 300 00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:31,800 Speaker 8: Oh, yes, hello, good afternoon. 301 00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:32,360 Speaker 5: Hi. 302 00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:34,240 Speaker 4: Hi. 303 00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:39,480 Speaker 8: I was wondering if it's bad to watch Fatal Traction 304 00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:44,879 Speaker 8: on Christmas Eve because for the only reason that it 305 00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:50,920 Speaker 8: occurred at this time many years ago, and for some reason, 306 00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:52,600 Speaker 8: it gives me solace. 307 00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:55,040 Speaker 5: It's kind of soothing you. 308 00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:59,920 Speaker 2: Thank God you're not in that relationship. What's the solace? 309 00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:05,119 Speaker 8: Well, because she gets revenge. 310 00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:08,720 Speaker 3: Oh well, I'm not sure if revenge is healthy, but 311 00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:11,080 Speaker 3: I guess if I had to choose before you between 312 00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:15,600 Speaker 3: you watching it on Christmas Eve versus Easter. If you've 313 00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:17,760 Speaker 3: seen it before, you know what I'm saying with the rabbit, 314 00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:22,840 Speaker 3: that's probably better. But I'm not crazy about the revenge 315 00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:26,760 Speaker 3: part Kathy. But no, there's nothing wrong with watching it. 316 00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:29,480 Speaker 3: Let's see if we can squeeze one more in. Joe, 317 00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:32,720 Speaker 3: Welcome to the Jesus Christ Show. You're the big finale. 318 00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:33,560 Speaker 3: How can I help you? 319 00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:38,320 Speaker 9: Yeah, I was just wondering, like, don't you do you 320 00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:41,600 Speaker 9: feel like it's blasphemy even maybe for you to be 321 00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:45,160 Speaker 9: speaking in you know, like if and you know you're 322 00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:47,600 Speaker 9: our Lord and savior for the first show, you know, 323 00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:50,080 Speaker 9: even though you're answering questions, but just to be speaking 324 00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:51,560 Speaker 9: in the first person as if you were in. 325 00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:55,080 Speaker 3: That's an excellent question and a great one to end on. No, 326 00:22:55,960 --> 00:23:00,200 Speaker 3: the concept of the program, if you listen. 327 00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:01,679 Speaker 2: To it, is. 328 00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:06,960 Speaker 3: A way of teaching uniquely people about things that are 329 00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:10,320 Speaker 3: hard to talk about otherwise. And no one should ever 330 00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:14,280 Speaker 3: take credit for the words of God than God himself. 331 00:23:15,359 --> 00:23:19,080 Speaker 3: So on this program, if you listen carefully, all glory 332 00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:23,239 Speaker 3: goes to God. All words are from God, and no 333 00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:25,880 Speaker 3: one should have their name on this show other than 334 00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:33,119 Speaker 3: Christ himself. And if you understand the interaction of let's 335 00:23:33,119 --> 00:23:38,600 Speaker 3: call it radio theater, it's a powerful tool. And may 336 00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:42,800 Speaker 3: all the words go out in His name and no 337 00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:47,160 Speaker 3: one else's. Have a merry Christmas, be kind to each other, 338 00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:51,760 Speaker 3: have empathy, and remember the true reason of the season. 339 00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:56,040 Speaker 3: Merry Christmas, everybody on Demand
