1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:05,800
Speaker 1: You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand. It's

2
00:00:05,800 --> 00:00:11,280
Speaker 1: strange when you turn on the news today, or you

3
00:00:11,320 --> 00:00:15,440
Speaker 1: turn on talk radio, you turn on daytime television, Heaven

4
00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:20,079
Speaker 1: forbid by the way you turn on daytime television. It

5
00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:24,320
Speaker 1: seems all you hear is people blaming one another one another,

6
00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:31,320
Speaker 1: different political parties, different races, different cultures, even you know,

7
00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:39,640
Speaker 1: different faiths, different countries, different sexes, different economic classes, all

8
00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:48,320
Speaker 1: blaming one another. Now, is it really possible, if you

9
00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:55,040
Speaker 1: search your heart of hearts, is it really possible that's

10
00:00:55,120 --> 00:01:01,240
Speaker 1: always the other group or the other person's fault. From

11
00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:05,360
Speaker 1: the very beginning of time, man looked for an excuse

12
00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:09,560
Speaker 1: as not to be responsible for his own actions, his

13
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:16,000
Speaker 1: own words, his own doings. From the very beginning, Adam

14
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:20,360
Speaker 1: blamed Eve, and if you listen, in a roundabout way,

15
00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:26,840
Speaker 1: even blamed God for his own sin. Adam blamed everyone

16
00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:32,119
Speaker 1: but himself for his actions. In the garden, Genesis three

17
00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:36,480
Speaker 1: twelve says the man said, the woman you put here

18
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:39,480
Speaker 1: with me, she gave me some fruit from the tree,

19
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:45,120
Speaker 1: and I ate it right out of his mouth. The

20
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:49,200
Speaker 1: first thing he says when caught doing something he was

21
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 1: told not to, is the woman you put here with me.

22
00:01:56,000 --> 00:02:04,760
Speaker 1: That's a twofer. That's a that's like a child nailing.

23
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:08,440
Speaker 1: Not only the fact that it was the woman, Oh

24
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:10,360
Speaker 1: it was you know, she gave well, hold on a

25
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:12,200
Speaker 1: second before you get ahead of yourself. This is what

26
00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:16,480
Speaker 1: this is really how it happened. This is how it

27
00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:19,440
Speaker 1: went down. See, I was minding my own business and

28
00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:23,679
Speaker 1: noon and noon, just hanging out, enjoying everything. And then

29
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:27,680
Speaker 1: uh and then yeah, then I went to sleep. I

30
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:30,280
Speaker 1: remember going to sleep. I woke up with a little

31
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:31,840
Speaker 1: like a little sore on my side and like a

32
00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:37,119
Speaker 1: rib was gone, and there was this girl. She was here. Yeah,

33
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:39,840
Speaker 1: I think you put her here. And then all of

34
00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:41,960
Speaker 1: a sudden she's making me eat things I don't want

35
00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:46,480
Speaker 1: to eat. Kind of sounds like an episode of Cops

36
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:49,680
Speaker 1: or something. The guy comes to the comes to the

37
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 1: front door with the you know, the little white a

38
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:56,480
Speaker 1: framed T shirt that's grossly described as a wife beater

39
00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 1: T shirt and the you know, and the beer in

40
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:01,880
Speaker 1: hand that's blurred out because they don't want to give

41
00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:06,360
Speaker 1: you know, any promotion to the beer company. And he's like, well, uh,

42
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:10,400
Speaker 1: let's see first, Yeah, she walked into my fist. Yeah,

43
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:13,400
Speaker 1: that was it and then and that's what it is.

44
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:16,160
Speaker 1: It's like an episode of Cops, except God's the cop

45
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:22,600
Speaker 1: and he shows up at the door and and Adam's going, well, uh,

46
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:26,160
Speaker 1: I didn't really, I didn't really eat from the fruit

47
00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:32,880
Speaker 1: and knowledge. That's not what happened. But it's not just him,

48
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:36,960
Speaker 1: although men may have perfected it over the years. Eve

49
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:41,920
Speaker 1: blamed the serpent for her sin Genesis three. Then the

50
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:45,160
Speaker 1: Lord God said to the woman, what is this you

51
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:49,200
Speaker 1: have done? The woman said, uh, the serpent deceived me

52
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:52,680
Speaker 1: and I ate it. Do you see like like this

53
00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:58,000
Speaker 1: ever growing chain of blame. I didn't do it, they

54
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:02,160
Speaker 1: did it. I didn't do it. It's truly like children.

55
00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:08,200
Speaker 1: No one wants to stand there and take on the

56
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:16,960
Speaker 1: responsibility of their own actions. And this happens throughout scripture

57
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:23,720
Speaker 1: and it happens throughout everyday life. Ponscious Pilot, he didn't

58
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:26,640
Speaker 1: want to take responsibility for his part in my own

59
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:35,080
Speaker 1: arrest and the impending crucifixion. Now he blames a mass

60
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:40,760
Speaker 1: of people and almost puts it on me, like, hey,

61
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:42,120
Speaker 1: you can get out of this. All you gotta do

62
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:44,800
Speaker 1: is renounce this whole King of the Jews thing and

63
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:48,479
Speaker 1: renounce this whole son of God thing, and we're done

64
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:52,440
Speaker 1: with this. Conscious Pilot didn't want anything to do with it,

65
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:58,120
Speaker 1: but he blamed it on the townspeople getting riotous. What

66
00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:00,560
Speaker 1: did he do? You know the story? He washed his

67
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:04,320
Speaker 1: hands of it all Matthew twenty seven, twenty four. When

68
00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:09,800
Speaker 1: Pilot saw that he was accomplishing nothing but rather that

69
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:13,520
Speaker 1: a riot was starting, he took water and washed his

70
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:16,240
Speaker 1: hands in front of the crowd, saying, I am innocent

71
00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:22,680
Speaker 1: of this man's blood. See to that yourselves. Now, this

72
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:30,839
Speaker 1: is a man who earlier had stated to me that

73
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:33,080
Speaker 1: you know, don't you know why I can have you crucified.

74
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:38,360
Speaker 1: But now as the crowd gets riotous, as the crowd

75
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:44,040
Speaker 1: gets loud, then he goes, oh you know, I really

76
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:46,080
Speaker 1: I can't stop. I don't even know what's going on.

77
00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:50,320
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna wash my hands of it. How how

78
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:52,520
Speaker 1: many times do you do this? How many times do

79
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:57,200
Speaker 1: you blame someone else, point to someone else? How many

80
00:05:57,200 --> 00:06:00,360
Speaker 1: times do you, like like Adam an Eve, say oh

81
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:04,880
Speaker 1: well it wasn't me. I didn't do it. There was circumstances,

82
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:11,320
Speaker 1: the devil made me do it, the serpent seduced me,

83
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:16,280
Speaker 1: or like ponscious pilot. You look around and you want

84
00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:19,000
Speaker 1: to blame it on circumstances. Well, this has just got

85
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:21,760
Speaker 1: it way out of control, and there's nothing I can

86
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:25,919
Speaker 1: do about it, not even owning up the fact that

87
00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:29,360
Speaker 1: you placed yourself in that circumstance somewhere to begin with,

88
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:37,320
Speaker 1: just as Pilot did. And Pilot wanted to just wash

89
00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:39,760
Speaker 1: his hands. And that's that kind of attitude that you

90
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:43,200
Speaker 1: get sometimes when you just want to hide the situation

91
00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:52,120
Speaker 1: or make yourself kind of innocent by a secondary action.

92
00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:56,000
Speaker 1: When his case, it's washing of the hands in your case,

93
00:06:56,040 --> 00:07:01,000
Speaker 1: while it could be doing something completely different. I'm innocent

94
00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:06,720
Speaker 1: of this man's blood. No, no, you weren't Pilot, and

95
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:13,640
Speaker 1: nor was anyone else that was around. It's interesting how

96
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:19,200
Speaker 1: the desire is to look everywhere but your own self.

97
00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:24,800
Speaker 1: You've heard all the fun sayings. That's the one really

98
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:27,560
Speaker 1: wonderful thing about church. A bunch of bumper sticker sayings

99
00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:28,800
Speaker 1: get thrown around.

100
00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:29,760
Speaker 2: You have.

101
00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:35,600
Speaker 1: Remember, if you're pointing, make the little finger with you know,

102
00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:39,040
Speaker 1: with your your pointer finger, and it looks like a

103
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:44,040
Speaker 1: little fake gun symbol. Now the old saying that if

104
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:47,120
Speaker 1: you point at someone, there's three fingers pointing back at

105
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:50,400
Speaker 1: you kind of a fun way to remind you that

106
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:56,760
Speaker 1: when you point blame a lot of times you are

107
00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:00,560
Speaker 1: responsible as well, if not more responsible than who you're blaming.

108
00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:06,680
Speaker 1: And you need to look inward to find out your

109
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:10,760
Speaker 1: part in whatever you're going through and your experiences, and

110
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:12,680
Speaker 1: if you start there, and it's not just to pick

111
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:14,440
Speaker 1: on you, and it certainly isn't just to beat you

112
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:17,920
Speaker 1: over the head with something. It's so that you understand

113
00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:22,000
Speaker 1: that the benefits if you play a part in the

114
00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:24,840
Speaker 1: pain and the trials and the circumstance, then you will

115
00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:30,680
Speaker 1: play a part in the recovery. And until you realize

116
00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:32,680
Speaker 1: that you have a part in this particular play in

117
00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:39,359
Speaker 1: your life, then it won't get anywhere. And it's throughout scripture,

118
00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:44,760
Speaker 1: oh goodness, throughout scripture. There's blame on everything, but you

119
00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:49,520
Speaker 1: have to know where the true situation lies and what

120
00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:54,920
Speaker 1: part you play in it. There was an old friend

121
00:08:54,920 --> 00:09:01,280
Speaker 1: of the of the Jesus Show, a wonderful and incredibly

122
00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:06,240
Speaker 1: brilliant man, still is, by the way, an incredibly brilliant man.

123
00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:14,360
Speaker 1: But a certain experience pointed out to me by way

124
00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:17,880
Speaker 1: of illustration, how people don't always look towards the simple

125
00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:23,920
Speaker 1: reason or their part in that circumstance before they blame others.

126
00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:27,280
Speaker 1: And I'll explain what that is in just a second.

127
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:34,200
Speaker 1: So the story as we talk about the blame game

128
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:37,600
Speaker 1: and the fact that throughout scripture, and I'm sure in

129
00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:40,440
Speaker 1: your life many times it's easier to blame someone else

130
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:43,840
Speaker 1: than to take responsibility yourself. That's not where I want you.

131
00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:46,520
Speaker 1: I want you to be able to take responsibility because

132
00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:49,880
Speaker 1: that's where true growth comes from. And there's a good

133
00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:54,360
Speaker 1: friend of the Jesus Christ Show, a brilliant man who

134
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:58,000
Speaker 1: went through shoes all the time. Constantly went through new shoes,

135
00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:00,360
Speaker 1: and he would put them out on his poor and

136
00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:03,240
Speaker 1: one day went over there, I asked him why all

137
00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:05,360
Speaker 1: the shoes on your front porch. They all look new,

138
00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:08,160
Speaker 1: and he said, I don't know what it is with

139
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:11,679
Speaker 1: these shoes, but they start to stink, so I just

140
00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:14,600
Speaker 1: go out and buy new ones, to which I replied,

141
00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:19,679
Speaker 1: did you ever think it was your feet? He blamed

142
00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:23,040
Speaker 1: the shoe so much so that he went he kept

143
00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:28,960
Speaker 1: going out and buying new shoes, and quite honestly, the

144
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:31,280
Speaker 1: best conclusion was that it was his feet and not

145
00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:34,559
Speaker 1: the shoe. I say that because there was a good

146
00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:37,720
Speaker 1: laugh to be had, and that is how you react

147
00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:41,120
Speaker 1: to many things yourself. You know, I'll just buy a

148
00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:47,160
Speaker 1: new shoe. The victimization that people tend to feel. So

149
00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:50,240
Speaker 1: there's only to destroy, not to build up. So oh

150
00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:53,440
Speaker 1: woe is me, it's this, and it's that. Then you're

151
00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:57,200
Speaker 1: a victim of circumstance constantly, and you always will be.

152
00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:00,559
Speaker 1: What I'm saying is that you can look at your

153
00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:02,600
Speaker 1: life path and see what parts you play in it

154
00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:05,360
Speaker 1: and how to do it differently next time. And doing

155
00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:09,160
Speaker 1: that work and putting yourself out there is scary but important.

156
00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:12,760
Speaker 1: You have to be accountable for your own actions, for

157
00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:16,000
Speaker 1: your own words, for your own beliefs. Matthew twelve thirty

158
00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:19,920
Speaker 1: seven says, for by your words you will be justified,

159
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:24,880
Speaker 1: and by your words you will be condemned. Instead of

160
00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:29,480
Speaker 1: everyone taking their portion of responsibility, becomes easier to pile

161
00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:32,920
Speaker 1: it onto the other guy. Galatians six' five, says for

162
00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:36,120
Speaker 1: each one will bear his own. Load you must bear

163
00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:41,640
Speaker 1: your own, weight your own load in this. World and

164
00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:45,520
Speaker 1: there are those of you that will not only blame another,

165
00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:51,079
Speaker 1: individual but will look to Blame. God and there's examples

166
00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:54,959
Speaker 1: of that in, scripture but even in the worst trial

167
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:58,000
Speaker 1: of his. Life job fought off not only blaming, others

168
00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:02,560
Speaker 1: but even ran from the eye idea of Blaming. God

169
00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:08,240
Speaker 1: job one two, says through all This job did not,

170
00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:12,160
Speaker 1: sin nor did he Blame. God and to get to

171
00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:15,040
Speaker 1: that place takes. Work AND i want you to make

172
00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:18,640
Speaker 1: it important enough that you don't get into that rut

173
00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:21,880
Speaker 1: where you're blaming, everyone where you're the guy in you,

174
00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:24,480
Speaker 1: know on The cops television show that's explained to the

175
00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:28,439
Speaker 1: cops why everyone else was at fault except. Him so

176
00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:32,480
Speaker 1: move yourself forward to that, place and through that awareness

177
00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:35,319
Speaker 1: and through the actions that come, afterwards things will get

178
00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:43,520
Speaker 1: better because you are taking. Accountability, Richard welcome to The

179
00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:47,079
Speaker 1: Jesus Christ. Show, Hi, hi how CAN i help?

180
00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:53,480
Speaker 2: You, Well i've already been confused on not really which

181
00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:57,480
Speaker 2: religion to, choose but all of them seem to have

182
00:12:57,559 --> 00:13:01,160
Speaker 2: the same. Message but for some, reason everyone thinks that

183
00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:04,360
Speaker 2: they're well better than the, other and they all have the,

184
00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:09,520
Speaker 2: answer Including. Christianity to, me that kind of makes it

185
00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:14,720
Speaker 2: like where seems that religion divides and it only unites

186
00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:19,360
Speaker 2: the ones that believe in that certain. Belief but it

187
00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:22,240
Speaker 2: almost seems as easy as if well if we had

188
00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:25,040
Speaker 2: just all realize that we're kind of all on the

189
00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:28,520
Speaker 2: same basic. Page you, know you know WHAT i. Mean,

190
00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:30,880
Speaker 2: okay well we could all.

191
00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:35,520
Speaker 1: Unite, okay, well uniting would be, wonderful but under certain.

192
00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:39,319
Speaker 1: Circumstances now you're saying that by saying we should all,

193
00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:42,800
Speaker 1: unite that that's your point of, view and you get into,

194
00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:45,480
Speaker 1: now well that point of view could now divide if

195
00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:49,400
Speaker 1: people think that uniting might cause problems with different, cultures

196
00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:53,319
Speaker 1: and therefore you'd lose. Cultures so some people might, say

197
00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:55,600
Speaker 1: he if we all, united all you'd be doing what

198
00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:59,240
Speaker 1: should we unite your way under your culture or are

199
00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:01,640
Speaker 1: we going to unite under someone else's way under someone else's?

200
00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:06,800
Speaker 1: Culture so, now, yet now you're pretty and peaceful. Sounding

201
00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:10,520
Speaker 1: concept of uniting has become divisive in, nature.

202
00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:17,400
Speaker 2: Completely. UNDERSTANDABLE i what What i've noticed, also, though is

203
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:23,200
Speaker 2: that in the, past in, history when religions are trying

204
00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:26,880
Speaker 2: to teach other, LANGUAGES i guess you, know you know

205
00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:30,520
Speaker 2: how there are some languages that don't have the correct,

206
00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:34,080
Speaker 2: words or they say it another way because that that

207
00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:37,640
Speaker 2: particular language doesn't can't explain it in a certain.

208
00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:41,440
Speaker 1: Way, sure there are languages that have that lack words

209
00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:44,360
Speaker 1: That english language that The english language, does and vice,

210
00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:45,280
Speaker 1: versa and things like.

211
00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:45,560
Speaker 3: That.

212
00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:48,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, so and you think of all the thousands of

213
00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:50,320
Speaker 2: years that this has been going on in the different

214
00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:53,400
Speaker 2: types of. Translations by the time it gets back to

215
00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:58,880
Speaker 2: you or into your, language it may be completely, different

216
00:14:58,960 --> 00:14:59,960
Speaker 2: even though and when.

217
00:14:59,840 --> 00:15:04,240
Speaker 1: We're change the entire, meaning that's the whole telephone concept

218
00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:06,640
Speaker 1: of playing the game, telephone and then it gets mixed.

219
00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:09,160
Speaker 1: Up the problem is that the way it was translated

220
00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:13,080
Speaker 1: and the way that the scribes wrote down new copies

221
00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:16,680
Speaker 1: really doesn't leave any room for that kind of. Concept

222
00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:19,160
Speaker 1: it just. Doesn't and there's we still have all the

223
00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:21,480
Speaker 1: originals to look back, on or a good portion of,

224
00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:24,560
Speaker 1: THEM i should say that to look back. On with

225
00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:27,440
Speaker 1: The New testament, alone you're looking at twenty five thousand

226
00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:30,800
Speaker 1: part and whole. Manuscripts that's a lot to work. WITH i,

227
00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:33,720
Speaker 1: mean that's not really some one guy said, this but

228
00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:39,360
Speaker 1: about your, earlier your earlier, Notion, Richard every truth claim

229
00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:44,960
Speaker 1: is exclusionary by, definition every truth. Claim if you say

230
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:48,480
Speaker 1: something is black and only, black it can't be white

231
00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:50,800
Speaker 1: in the same. Sense in the same. Way at the same,

232
00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:55,880
Speaker 1: time law of, contradiction non. Contradiction so truth by its

233
00:15:55,960 --> 00:16:01,000
Speaker 1: nature excludes. People it just. Does and and so you

234
00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:04,200
Speaker 1: can't say because there's a bunch of different religions and

235
00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:06,680
Speaker 1: that they're all, wrong that they're you know that they're all.

236
00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:09,440
Speaker 1: Wrong they could all be, wrong but it's not necessarily

237
00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:11,480
Speaker 1: just because there's a lot of. Them one of them

238
00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:14,000
Speaker 1: could be right and you have to look at. Them,

239
00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:19,800
Speaker 1: okay so that's the hard. Part But, richard there's ten

240
00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:23,000
Speaker 1: ten students sitting in a math. Class they all have

241
00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:27,120
Speaker 1: the same question two plus two. Equals one person has

242
00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:32,960
Speaker 1: the answer four and everyone else has different. Numbers who's right.

243
00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:35,360
Speaker 2: The four for? Sure?

244
00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:38,800
Speaker 1: Exactly so it doesn't matter that there was other answers out,

245
00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:41,320
Speaker 1: there and they're all. Numbers they're all, numbers and they're

246
00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:44,160
Speaker 1: all numbers that there are, used and all of them

247
00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:47,720
Speaker 1: are viable. Possibilities but there's only one right. Answer so

248
00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:50,320
Speaker 1: all that means is you need to get off your

249
00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:54,000
Speaker 1: tail and do your homework and find out which ones

250
00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:58,080
Speaker 1: adhere to truth and. Why, now they can have similar,

251
00:16:58,120 --> 00:17:00,760
Speaker 1: messages but it doesn't. Matter someone can have a similar

252
00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:03,840
Speaker 1: phone number to you and be one digit Off richard

253
00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:07,800
Speaker 1: and not get. You there's a lot of things that look.

254
00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:11,920
Speaker 1: Similar there's. Counterfeit dollar bills look similar as a matter of,

255
00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:17,359
Speaker 1: fact don't even make them counterfeit euro. Money money across

256
00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:21,200
Speaker 1: the globe looks similar To american. Money it's a certain,

257
00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:25,040
Speaker 1: shape it's got the president or a picture of a

258
00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:29,919
Speaker 1: president or an important. Person it has monetary values up

259
00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:32,920
Speaker 1: in the. Corners but it doesn't mean that It's american

260
00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:35,400
Speaker 1: money or that you could use it in The United.

261
00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:39,760
Speaker 1: States so there's more to it than just. Similarities it's

262
00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:42,439
Speaker 1: NOT i think the question shouldn't, Be, look they have

263
00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:45,360
Speaker 1: all these. SIMILARITIES i think the question should be what

264
00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:49,120
Speaker 1: are the dissimilar things about those belief systems and why

265
00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:50,159
Speaker 1: and how do they pertain to.

266
00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:54,199
Speaker 2: You? Oh, Well christianity is the only one that teaches

267
00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:56,800
Speaker 2: to turn the other, cheek AND i think that's the

268
00:17:56,840 --> 00:17:58,199
Speaker 2: best one and the only way to.

269
00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:00,199
Speaker 1: Go, Well i'll tell you there's more to it, That

270
00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:02,720
Speaker 1: there's more to it than. That, well, no it's okay

271
00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:04,679
Speaker 1: for you to. Judge you judge people every. Day if

272
00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:07,400
Speaker 1: you told someone they look nice or that they did

273
00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:12,480
Speaker 1: a good, job you're judging. Them judgment is. Okay it's

274
00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:14,639
Speaker 1: what you don't want to do is make yourself better

275
00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:17,720
Speaker 1: than someone else and judge them like down at. Them

276
00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:21,440
Speaker 1: but there's a lot of Things, richard when it comes

277
00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:24,800
Speaker 1: to belief systems and understanding. Them and one of the

278
00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:28,399
Speaker 1: really key things to note, is in addition to as you,

279
00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:32,760
Speaker 1: say turn the other, Cheek christianity is the only belief

280
00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:37,680
Speaker 1: system that doesn't make man the. Hero in every other belief,

281
00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:40,119
Speaker 1: system you, can with a certain amount of effort or,

282
00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:44,719
Speaker 1: whatever achieve some sort of christ consciousness or raise yourself

283
00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:47,479
Speaker 1: to the. Level and that's kind of a very human,

284
00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:53,119
Speaker 1: Notion whereas In scripture it's About, god not about. Man

285
00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:56,240
Speaker 1: it's about man understanding there's A god and that man

286
00:18:56,280 --> 00:18:59,200
Speaker 1: should yield towards That god and towards That god's, will

287
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:03,280
Speaker 1: whereas every other belief system is more about you than

288
00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:07,240
Speaker 1: it is About god and what you can do or

289
00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:09,520
Speaker 1: what you should do and how you should do, it

290
00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:12,080
Speaker 1: and how this is going to make you the best person,

291
00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:15,119
Speaker 1: ever and then that way you'll be better than all

292
00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:18,199
Speaker 1: the other. People and that's not the, way although Some

293
00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:20,800
Speaker 1: christians tend to act that, way that's not how it's set.

294
00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:24,320
Speaker 1: Up it's not how it's set up at. All and

295
00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:26,880
Speaker 1: it's a really interesting, Book the way it's, written is

296
00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:29,159
Speaker 1: not the way a man would write this type of.

297
00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:32,560
Speaker 1: Book men and women are always looking for excuses to

298
00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:36,439
Speaker 1: not adhere to, rules to. Rebel they wouldn't write a

299
00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:41,560
Speaker 1: book that's the very definition of being in, line being

300
00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:43,920
Speaker 1: focused on that which is good and right and. True

301
00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:47,520
Speaker 1: it's just not what they would. Do there's many wonderful

302
00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:50,480
Speaker 1: things in scripture that sets it apart or makes it

303
00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:54,600
Speaker 1: different from those, things AND i hope that you find

304
00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:59,760
Speaker 1: those things as. Well there's a lot of a lot

305
00:19:59,800 --> 00:20:03,240
Speaker 1: of the the same kind of questions THAT i hear

306
00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:05,399
Speaker 1: over and over, again and they're not. Bad it's okay

307
00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:08,720
Speaker 1: to you should have. Questions you should question all. Things

308
00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:11,320
Speaker 1: as scripture, says hold fast to that which is, true

309
00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:15,960
Speaker 1: a reoccurring theme on this. PROGRAM i wish people would

310
00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:21,199
Speaker 1: use that when they don't understand the program actually, Anyways

311
00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:24,960
Speaker 1: testing things and looking to find out if it's. True

312
00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:29,159
Speaker 1: just because there's a lot of people that believe different,

313
00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:32,000
Speaker 1: things and they're good people and they may have good

314
00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:35,359
Speaker 1: things about their belief system doesn't make it. Right what

315
00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:39,399
Speaker 1: makes it right is if it adheres to. Truth so

316
00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:41,640
Speaker 1: you have to look at all of them and find

317
00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:45,000
Speaker 1: out not what they're similar in but where the differences,

318
00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:47,600
Speaker 1: lie and you'll find that in those differences you'll start

319
00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:51,159
Speaker 1: to see really what sets beliefs apart from one, another

320
00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:55,520
Speaker 1: and where certain beliefs will. Shine there's a lot of

321
00:20:55,560 --> 00:20:59,400
Speaker 1: wonderful things said in a lot of wonderful belief, systems

322
00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:03,520
Speaker 1: doesn't make them. True so you got to have you

323
00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:06,959
Speaker 1: have to have something that that backs that up in

324
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:10,520
Speaker 1: a different. Way and it's not just well it feels

325
00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:12,760
Speaker 1: good or, gosh i'd really like everybody to get, along

326
00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:16,480
Speaker 1: that'd be. Great but even doing, that getting along by

327
00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:21,480
Speaker 1: whose standards and you could be, back you, know in

328
00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:26,840
Speaker 1: a whole other. Problem anytime you stand for, something you

329
00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:30,840
Speaker 1: will have. Enemies there will be people that are upset or.

330
00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:34,960
Speaker 1: Frustrated so in order to really get, along you'd have to.

331
00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:37,560
Speaker 1: Agree people that like to hit other people a, face

332
00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:39,879
Speaker 1: you'd have to agree to let, them and that's not

333
00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:43,480
Speaker 1: going to. Stand so there's more to it than just, saying,

334
00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:45,399
Speaker 1: GOSH i wish everyone got, along OR i wish there

335
00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:48,760
Speaker 1: was one belief. System, well there's a lot of different

336
00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:52,639
Speaker 1: belief systems out, there but it doesn't mean automatically that

337
00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:55,720
Speaker 1: they're all wrong because there's so Many any more than

338
00:21:55,720 --> 00:21:57,840
Speaker 1: there would with the math. Analogy that a lot of

339
00:21:57,880 --> 00:22:00,320
Speaker 1: people came up with a different answer doesn't mean there

340
00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:04,960
Speaker 1: isn't a right. Answer and on this, SHOW i hate

341
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:08,960
Speaker 1: to show our cards on our, bias but really we're

342
00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:19,240

359
00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:40,440
Speaker 3: question to you is this when someone is already uh

Speaker 3: not a. BELIEVER i think she's been, exposed okay to,

361
00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:50,760
Speaker 3: religion BUT i don't think she looks at it. Favorably

362
00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:56,160
Speaker 3: And i'm there to support BECAUSE i want my grandson.

363
00:23:57,119 --> 00:24:02,000
Speaker 3: THIS i, mean all of this. Negativity it affects. Everybody

364
00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:11,800
Speaker 3: And i'm wondering if more things like, this more incidents

365
00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:16,920
Speaker 3: like this where you've got people working in your own

366
00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:20,720
Speaker 3: family who are doing things evil to, you or they

367
00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:24,479
Speaker 3: have done things that are not in the will Of,

368
00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:29,639
Speaker 3: god doesn't that Push i'm afraid it's goind of push her,

369
00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:34,560
Speaker 3: away push them away further from turning To.

370
00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:38,040
Speaker 1: Christ, well sure, THAT i, mean that's a, possibility but

371
00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:41,840
Speaker 1: really it's it's a one. On it's not it's not

372
00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:45,840
Speaker 1: such a subtle dance that every little thing is going

373
00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:48,919
Speaker 1: to sway. It, really it's about the power Of god

374
00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:52,480
Speaker 1: and That god loves her and wants to know her

375
00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:55,879
Speaker 1: and knocks on her heart every single. Day it's not

376
00:24:57,280 --> 00:24:59,440
Speaker 1: are things going to happen in life to move people

377
00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:02,720
Speaker 1: closer further away From? God, yes happens all the, Time

378
00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:07,320
Speaker 1: but there's more to it than. That there are people

379
00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:10,200
Speaker 1: still have a yearning and an. Understanding and if people

380
00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:13,760
Speaker 1: are intellectually honest with the way this world seems to,

381
00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:17,199
Speaker 1: work and you know from the evidence that is in

382
00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:20,479
Speaker 1: the very creation around, them then they'll come to that.

383
00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:24,000
Speaker 1: Conclusion they may use excuses to push it off as

384
00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:28,080
Speaker 1: long as they can and to fight, it but just

385
00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:31,680
Speaker 1: because they don't come simply and don't come right, now

386
00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:35,800
Speaker 1: doesn't mean that they won't come. Eventually but, sometimes like

387
00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:38,879
Speaker 1: a scared, cat the more you run after, it the

388
00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:42,640
Speaker 1: more it runs. Away AND i think the best thing

389
00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:45,560
Speaker 1: to do is to always be that, Example. Barbara always

390
00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:50,879
Speaker 1: be that, example that pillar who lives by scripture but

391
00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:53,080
Speaker 1: isn't just trying to cram it down someone's, throat but

392
00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:56,360
Speaker 1: lives by. It and when someone's, scared to allow them

393
00:25:56,359 --> 00:26:00,320
Speaker 1: to come to. You and it's not, about you, know

394
00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:04,959
Speaker 1: refusing to talk about the scriptures or about The gospel

395
00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:07,280
Speaker 1: or anything like. That i'm saying that there's a time

396
00:26:07,359 --> 00:26:11,440
Speaker 1: and a, place and even the best, meal if served

397
00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:14,960
Speaker 1: served up poorly or shoved down someone's, throat will be vomited.

398
00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:19,119
Speaker 1: Up so really it's about doing what you're doing and

399
00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:22,840
Speaker 1: being an example and trusting that there are going to

400
00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:27,520
Speaker 1: Be christians in people's lives that are good examples and

401
00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:32,560
Speaker 1: bad examples and, people but really it's about someone who

402
00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:36,160
Speaker 1: doesn't want to believe will use any, excuse whether it's

403
00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:38,840
Speaker 1: the you, know oh This CHRISTIAN i, knew you, know

404
00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:43,560
Speaker 1: uh scammed me out of you, know ten, dollars or

405
00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:46,040
Speaker 1: this ONE i heard him, cussing or this ONE i heard.

406
00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:49,760
Speaker 1: That they're just looking for. Excuses at that, point the,

407
00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:51,800
Speaker 1: best the best thing for you to do is just

408
00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:53,280
Speaker 1: not be one of those excuses.

409
00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:58,600
Speaker 3: EXACTLY i thank. You you're give me. Hope oh there.

410
00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:00,760
Speaker 1: Is most certainly hope. There and trust, me there is

411
00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:05,280
Speaker 1: a difference between somebody who adamantly Rejects god and someone

412
00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:10,480
Speaker 1: who's in a state of brokenness or pain or. Sadness

413
00:27:10,760 --> 00:27:14,440
Speaker 1: there is a, difference and you'd be surprised How god

414
00:27:14,480 --> 00:27:16,920
Speaker 1: works through these. Things. BARBARA i know it's very, ugly

415
00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:21,919
Speaker 1: AND i know it's very, sad but your daughter in

416
00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:25,320
Speaker 1: law is a human being made By god That god

417
00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:28,320
Speaker 1: loves more than you ever, could more than any other

418
00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:32,960
Speaker 1: human ever, could and he's knocking on her heart every.

419
00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:36,520
Speaker 1: Day and there will be people that you, know may

420
00:27:37,119 --> 00:27:40,360
Speaker 1: sway her in different directions because of their, attitude and

421
00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:44,159
Speaker 1: you have to be careful as, believers not to you,

422
00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:48,160
Speaker 1: know put a horrible foot, forward but to always give,

423
00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:52,480
Speaker 1: people you, know insight Into christianity and the healthiest and best.

424
00:27:52,520 --> 00:27:57,800
Speaker 1: Way But god's still dealing with, her and trust, Me

425
00:27:57,800 --> 00:28:02,520
Speaker 1: men do some really stupid things to and that have

426
00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:06,720
Speaker 1: caused people and led them astray over and over. Again

427
00:28:07,119 --> 00:28:11,639
Speaker 1: but even their stupidity can't out shine the glory Of.

428
00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:17,560
Speaker 1: God so you have to trust in those. THINGS KFI
