1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:03,760
Speaker 1: You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.

2
00:00:05,920 --> 00:00:10,440
Speaker 2: Paul, Welcome to the Jesus Christ Show. Yeah, how can

3
00:00:10,440 --> 00:00:10,760
Speaker 2: I help you?

4
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:16,720
Speaker 3: Yes, I was wondering if I'm going to see my

5
00:00:16,760 --> 00:00:19,599
Speaker 3: mother when when I die and go to heaven, and

6
00:00:19,640 --> 00:00:21,919
Speaker 3: I'm wondering if she's going to go to heaven. She

7
00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:26,680
Speaker 3: didn't follow your teachings, but she followed the Tank commandments.

8
00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:32,520
Speaker 3: She was born nineteen nineteen. And I don't know my wife.

9
00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:33,800
Speaker 3: She never followed your teachings.

10
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:37,239
Speaker 2: What was she Jewish? Are you saying she's Jewish? Are

11
00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:40,120
Speaker 2: you saying that she just No, she didn't care much

12
00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:40,959
Speaker 2: for religion at all.

13
00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:43,919
Speaker 3: She didn't really care much for her. She put us

14
00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:47,159
Speaker 3: in the when I was a little big, a little toddler,

15
00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:51,239
Speaker 3: she put us in the Bible school and stuff. And

16
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:53,160
Speaker 3: I was raised in the Nazarene Church.

17
00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:55,480
Speaker 2: But what makes you think that she didn't believe?

18
00:00:57,240 --> 00:00:59,520
Speaker 3: Well, because I confronted her a couple of times. She

19
00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:01,279
Speaker 3: goes here, I don't want to talk about it.

20
00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:03,800
Speaker 2: Well, I don't want to talk about it. Doesn't mean

21
00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:05,880
Speaker 2: she doesn't believe. She came right out and told you

22
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:12,479
Speaker 2: she didn't believe. No, not really, Okay, Well, those situations

23
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:15,480
Speaker 2: are between her and God. If she didn't proclaim it

24
00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:18,319
Speaker 2: to you, doesn't mean that she didn't proclaim it to somebody,

25
00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:20,520
Speaker 2: and doesn't mean that she didn't proclaim it to God.

26
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:22,920
Speaker 2: It would be unusual to reject it in such a

27
00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:26,039
Speaker 2: way and then be open to God later. But there

28
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:29,479
Speaker 2: there are moments within moments within moments that God has

29
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:34,960
Speaker 2: with you that and everyone in humanity that aren't the same.

30
00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:40,920
Speaker 3: I thought it. You didn't profess or proclaim that you're

31
00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:43,080
Speaker 3: born again Christian, you're not going to go to heaven.

32
00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:50,480
Speaker 2: Well, it certainly is imperative to confess your faith absolutely

33
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:52,640
Speaker 2: with your you know, with your life and with your

34
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 2: mouth and all of those good things. But how that

35
00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:58,480
Speaker 2: takes place, how that takes place, well, there's a lot

36
00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:00,680
Speaker 2: of things your mom said that you wouldn't, I'm sure,

37
00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:04,240
Speaker 2: And so you can't really know in those moments of

38
00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:08,280
Speaker 2: what was going on with your mother. So it's best

39
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:10,239
Speaker 2: to leave that to God and to trust that God

40
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:14,679
Speaker 2: gave her ample amount of time to make things right

41
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:19,320
Speaker 2: with him. Now, as far as you, if you are

42
00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:22,560
Speaker 2: a believer and you're a person of faith, and you're

43
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:26,000
Speaker 2: going to heaven and your mother is there, there's no

44
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:28,680
Speaker 2: reason why you wouldn't recognize her, or recognize each other,

45
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:30,920
Speaker 2: or spend time with each other. There there's nothing in

46
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:37,880
Speaker 2: scriptures as otherwise. As a matter of fact, in Samuel,

47
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:43,359
Speaker 2: it talks about David knowing that when his son died,

48
00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:45,960
Speaker 2: his infant son died, that he was going to recognize

49
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:52,400
Speaker 2: him or see him in heaven. So also there's you know,

50
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:54,600
Speaker 2: some people will argue, yeah, well, what about with the

51
00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:58,280
Speaker 2: resurrected body. After I resurrected, some people didn't recognize me.

52
00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:02,600
Speaker 2: That was a different state under the circumstances first glorified

53
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:06,320
Speaker 2: body that anybody had ever seen. But there's nothing in

54
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:09,680
Speaker 2: scripture that says that you won't recognize or have time

55
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:13,920
Speaker 2: and spend with your family from here. However, that's not

56
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:18,000
Speaker 2: what heaven is about. You know, Heaven is about spending

57
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:25,560
Speaker 2: time with God, the Father. That's the focus. That's what

58
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:29,320
Speaker 2: it's going to be about. That's where you know, all

59
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:32,480
Speaker 2: of everything that's happened on earth is going to come

60
00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:35,320
Speaker 2: to that one point where it may sound dull to some,

61
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:38,800
Speaker 2: but it's going to be about worshiping God and spending

62
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:42,000
Speaker 2: time with the Creator. That's going to be the focus

63
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:48,600
Speaker 2: of heaven. So yeah, no reason that you wouldn't see

64
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:51,600
Speaker 2: a loved one who is a believer. As far as

65
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:54,320
Speaker 2: the confessing and all of these things, these are all

66
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:59,400
Speaker 2: part of what it takes for those that know. Romans.

67
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:03,160
Speaker 2: One talks about the difference between general revelation and special revelation.

68
00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:07,240
Speaker 2: That special revelation is scripture and someone coming and telling

69
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 2: you something, whereas general revelation is really in the creation itself.

70
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:13,480
Speaker 2: If you look around, you can see the fingerprint of God.

71
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:17,800
Speaker 2: The Library of Congress and the different things they have

72
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:23,400
Speaker 2: on file and saved a way to preserve, some of

73
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 2: which are original handwritten music from Beethoven and Mozart and

74
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:33,479
Speaker 2: the like. And they were doing this big study on

75
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:36,719
Speaker 2: how you could look at Beethoven and how you people

76
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:40,320
Speaker 2: tended to pick Beethoven in modern times with a disheveled

77
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:43,320
Speaker 2: hair and kind of slightly unkept and always in a hurry,

78
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:47,479
Speaker 2: kind of in a rush, not didn't seem very focused.

79
00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:51,839
Speaker 2: And sure enough, when you see his handwritten music notes,

80
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:56,200
Speaker 2: there's ink, smudges and blotches, and you can tell it's

81
00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:58,240
Speaker 2: written very quickly, and there's a lot of things crossed out,

82
00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:00,480
Speaker 2: So obviously the mind was being changed a lot, and

83
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:04,719
Speaker 2: that persona is almost seen in those very things that

84
00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:07,960
Speaker 2: he's writing. And then when you look at Mozart said

85
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:10,480
Speaker 2: to be much more together and focus. Knew what he

86
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:13,240
Speaker 2: want immediately and went for it and put it onto paper.

87
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:20,360
Speaker 2: Everything was pristine and specific, with great focus. And it's

88
00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:23,240
Speaker 2: like looking at the art or the creation of someone.

89
00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:26,599
Speaker 2: You can see the artist in there. You have to

90
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:28,240
Speaker 2: be able to so you can see the creator in there.

91
00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:31,800
Speaker 2: And likewise, if you are attentive to the things of

92
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:35,560
Speaker 2: this world and you look around at creation, you can

93
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:38,960
Speaker 2: see the hand of God in creation as well. You

94
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:41,880
Speaker 2: can see those things. And that's a different type of

95
00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:45,240
Speaker 2: realization than somebody standing on a mountaintop saying I believe

96
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:47,400
Speaker 2: in Jesus Christ, or they wear, you know, a special

97
00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:50,719
Speaker 2: bumper sticker or a hat or what have you. It's

98
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:55,799
Speaker 2: not just about those things. It's about professing with your

99
00:05:55,920 --> 00:06:01,359
Speaker 2: heart as well that Jesus's God and following me. That's

100
00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:05,479
Speaker 2: the key, and allowing the will of God to lead

101
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:12,960
Speaker 2: your life. The confession is important. But if you, you know,

102
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:16,039
Speaker 2: leave your wedding ring at home, it doesn't mean you

103
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:18,640
Speaker 2: don't love your spouse, and it certainly doesn't mean that

104
00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:23,920
Speaker 2: you're not married. That's part of the whole process of

105
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:28,359
Speaker 2: you know, that outward expression of that inward hope, that

106
00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:32,240
Speaker 2: inward goal. And those are two very different things and

107
00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:35,000
Speaker 2: they should not be confused as being one and the same.

108
00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:45,320
Speaker 2: They're part of it, but it's it's different. Kyle, Welcome

109
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:46,280
Speaker 2: to Jesus Christ Show.

110
00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:47,720
Speaker 4: Hey, how's it going.

111
00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:48,160
Speaker 2: Good?

112
00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:54,280
Speaker 4: Question about the Sabbath. Now, you were a Jew, I'm

113
00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:56,880
Speaker 4: assuming grew up in a Jewish area to his families.

114
00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:59,880
Speaker 5: That correct? Indeed, okay, uh.

115
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:04,520
Speaker 4: So the Jewish Sabbath is Friday sundown to Saturday sundown.

116
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:04,840
Speaker 3: Yes.

117
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:09,159
Speaker 4: Still we're told in the tour it's not that we're

118
00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:11,680
Speaker 4: not to work or have other people work or spend

119
00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:15,120
Speaker 4: money on the Sabbath. But typically what people do after

120
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:16,800
Speaker 4: church they go out, they go out and work in

121
00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:19,480
Speaker 4: the yards, they go out and eat. Is that breaking

122
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:20,040
Speaker 4: the Sabbath?

123
00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:24,880
Speaker 2: No, the Sabbath is one of those things that people

124
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:28,520
Speaker 2: wrestle with because of its current context is different. Christians

125
00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:31,880
Speaker 2: don't worship on the Sabbath anymore. They worship on the

126
00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:35,520
Speaker 2: Lord's Day, which is Sunday. Sabbath still is on Saturday.

127
00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:39,960
Speaker 2: And really this rest in this concept was for the

128
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:42,640
Speaker 2: Jewish people of the time. The Sabbath does not stand

129
00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:44,960
Speaker 2: in the same way in the same sense. That's why,

130
00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:48,080
Speaker 2: if you recall, it's the one commandment that I don't

131
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:50,960
Speaker 2: quote over and over again. You can see in Colossians two,

132
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:55,320
Speaker 2: sixteen and seventeen that things have changed and that people

133
00:07:55,400 --> 00:08:02,040
Speaker 2: were modern day Christians at the time, were having church

134
00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:04,920
Speaker 2: and coming together on many different days. The important thing

135
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:08,800
Speaker 2: is to have time of rest and worship, and it's

136
00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:11,600
Speaker 2: much different. The days were much longer than too. It

137
00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:13,600
Speaker 2: wasn't like an eight hour work day. They were much

138
00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:16,320
Speaker 2: longer work days. There's a lot that has changed that

139
00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:20,360
Speaker 2: allows for more rest or more normal rest that didn't

140
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:28,160
Speaker 2: exist back then. To boot Carol, Welcome to the Jesus

141
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:28,720
Speaker 2: Christ Show.

142
00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:33,760
Speaker 6: Hi, thank you for taking my call, my pleasure. I

143
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:40,240
Speaker 6: was just curious, why does Easter fall on such different times,

144
00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:43,040
Speaker 6: Like sometimes it's the end of March and then it's

145
00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:44,439
Speaker 6: the end of April.

146
00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:47,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's an odd one, isn't it.

147
00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:47,880
Speaker 6: Yes?

148
00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:51,720
Speaker 2: Okay, so well, here's what's known from scripture. You have

149
00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:54,480
Speaker 2: the four Gospels make it very clear that I was

150
00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:58,040
Speaker 2: crucified in conjunction with the Jewish passover, right you've got

151
00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:00,680
Speaker 2: Matthew talks about this, Mark talks about it, Luke talks

152
00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:03,600
Speaker 2: about it, and so does John. The gospels also make

153
00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:06,000
Speaker 2: it clear that I was raised from the dead three

154
00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:09,079
Speaker 2: days later on the first day of the week. Matthew, Mark, Luke,

155
00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:13,920
Speaker 2: and John also talk about that. So that's the first

156
00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:16,520
Speaker 2: notion of what's taking place now. As far as it's

157
00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:21,520
Speaker 2: being celebrated, that's of great importance, and so Christians wanted

158
00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:23,600
Speaker 2: to make a big deal about it. It's obviously an

159
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:29,000
Speaker 2: important day. It's the most pivotal part of Christianity is

160
00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:32,880
Speaker 2: the resurrection. So church history comes around and tries to

161
00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:37,840
Speaker 2: make a date, and tons of debate starts taking place

162
00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:40,560
Speaker 2: as to when Easter is going to be observed. Even

163
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:43,560
Speaker 2: to this day, even with as crazy as that sounds,

164
00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:47,880
Speaker 2: that it keeps changing around that the Eastern Orthodox Church

165
00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:53,000
Speaker 2: still celebrates it differently and sometimes on the same date,

166
00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:56,000
Speaker 2: sometimes differently. So basically, what it comes down to, and

167
00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:59,920
Speaker 2: it's a very an incredibly long answer that I'm trying

168
00:09:59,960 --> 00:10:02,640
Speaker 2: to to make short, is that it comes down to

169
00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:09,000
Speaker 2: different calendars, usage of different calendars based on the moon,

170
00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:11,880
Speaker 2: full moon, and all of these things. It just depends

171
00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:14,240
Speaker 2: on which calendar is being used, and then you get

172
00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:18,600
Speaker 2: certain councils that come in throughout the centuries that say, Okay,

173
00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:19,880
Speaker 2: this is when we're going to do it, and it's

174
00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:21,760
Speaker 2: going to be based on this calendar, and this is

175
00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:23,440
Speaker 2: when we're going to do it, and it's based on

176
00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:26,000
Speaker 2: this calendar, and it kind of just makes a mess

177
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:30,120
Speaker 2: of it all. So you get one going by the

178
00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:34,360
Speaker 2: Gregorian calendar and other going by the Julian calendar. There

179
00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:39,080
Speaker 2: was some usage early on of the Hebrew calendar. There's

180
00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:42,240
Speaker 2: some that state that the Paschal full moon is the

181
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:45,480
Speaker 2: actual date used, and that's a whole different measurement, and

182
00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:48,839
Speaker 2: so it just gets kind of convoluted and twisted and

183
00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:53,040
Speaker 2: bounces around. Is the short answer is that bounces around

184
00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:55,959
Speaker 2: based on the calendar that's being used, and they really

185
00:10:55,960 --> 00:11:00,760
Speaker 2: tried to establish early on. Some of the the movement

186
00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:04,720
Speaker 2: about the date was dealing with the early Church trying

187
00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:11,959
Speaker 2: to christianize certain pagan festivals. So early on it was

188
00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:14,960
Speaker 2: kind of following the first full moon after the vernal

189
00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:19,079
Speaker 2: or the spring equinox, and then after three twenty five

190
00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:22,440
Speaker 2: AD that changed, and there's it's just a whole bunch

191
00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:26,360
Speaker 2: of stuff. It talk about church, bureaucracy, just a lot

192
00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:29,800
Speaker 2: of stuff that came in and so it bounces around.

193
00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:33,680
Speaker 2: So having said all that, the most important part is

194
00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:38,480
Speaker 2: that it's celebrated, not exactly which day or anything like that.

195
00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:40,199
Speaker 2: The only thing that stays the same is that it's

196
00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:42,800
Speaker 2: going to be celebrated on the Lord's Day on a Sunday,

197
00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:46,440
Speaker 2: and that's that's the most important part. So I know,

198
00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:50,320
Speaker 2: it gets convoluted and confusing, and it's one of those

199
00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:57,280
Speaker 2: things that it's it's been made unnecessarily convoluted and confusing.

200
00:11:57,360 --> 00:11:59,880
Speaker 2: It doesn't need to be that bad, but you know,

201
00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:04,480
Speaker 2: beat you put people in charge sometimes of doing a

202
00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:15,440
Speaker 2: simple task and they make it even more complicated. Go figure, Leanne.

203
00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:16,920
Speaker 2: Welcome to the Jesus Christ Show.

204
00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:21,680
Speaker 7: Hi, Jesus, I have a situation that has happened to

205
00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:25,839
Speaker 7: me several times, and I want to know if I'm

206
00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:29,200
Speaker 7: handling it in the proper way. What it is is,

207
00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:33,120
Speaker 7: sometimes when I'm praying to You and I'm giving thanks,

208
00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:37,079
Speaker 7: the most blasphemous thoughts will come into my mind as

209
00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:41,200
Speaker 7: if to interrupt me from praying to you, you know,

210
00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:45,000
Speaker 7: and giving my thanks. Sure, and I'm you know, I

211
00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:47,640
Speaker 7: am God fearing and I know that we have to

212
00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:51,520
Speaker 7: account for everything. So that's what makes me even more uneasy.

213
00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:53,800
Speaker 7: And what I what I have done, and I don't

214
00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:56,320
Speaker 7: know if I'm doing the right thing is I will

215
00:12:56,600 --> 00:13:00,760
Speaker 7: in your name. I will rebuke those evil thoughts and

216
00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:04,760
Speaker 7: I cast them out in your name, and I ask

217
00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:07,640
Speaker 7: for forgiveness. And I ask that because I don't feel

218
00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:10,079
Speaker 7: those thoughts your mind. And it kind of scares me.

219
00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:15,840
Speaker 2: Well, sounds good to me. Sounds like you're covering your bases.

220
00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:18,240
Speaker 2: And of course, of course the enemy is like a

221
00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:21,760
Speaker 2: child and wanting to you know, I'm not touching you.

222
00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:24,480
Speaker 2: I'm not touching you. I'm not touching you, and distracts

223
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:26,560
Speaker 2: you throughout these you know, the entirety of it.

224
00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:29,120
Speaker 3: Of course, it's just.

225
00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:31,960
Speaker 7: So horrible, and I mean, it gives me a sick feeling.

226
00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:33,720
Speaker 7: But I, like you say, I'm trying to do the

227
00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:36,360
Speaker 7: best I can because I don't know where those thoughts

228
00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:39,080
Speaker 7: are coming from. I mean, I have there's absolutely no

229
00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:43,080
Speaker 7: reason for those things to come up, because you have

230
00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:46,520
Speaker 7: blessed me in so many ways. It's got me through

231
00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:48,720
Speaker 7: so much. I thank God for you.

232
00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:51,520
Speaker 2: You know, Well, there's a lot, there's a lot of

233
00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:53,880
Speaker 2: things in this world in the and the brain is

234
00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:56,840
Speaker 2: a bit of a dumping ground, and Scripture talks about

235
00:13:57,200 --> 00:14:01,080
Speaker 2: girting it and taking control of it. And you know

236
00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:05,040
Speaker 2: there's times you know, of good godly meditation too, not

237
00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:07,560
Speaker 2: the metaphysical garbage or any of those things, but the

238
00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:11,079
Speaker 2: good godly meditation about thinking about the things of God

239
00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:14,000
Speaker 2: and spending time with God being quiet. You know, there's

240
00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:16,240
Speaker 2: a scripture that says to be still and know that

241
00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:19,600
Speaker 2: I'm God, and to have these times of kind of cleansing.

242
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:22,920
Speaker 2: And when you go into your little prayer closet, you know,

243
00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:26,280
Speaker 2: not physically but emotionally, and you spend that time with

244
00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:30,200
Speaker 2: God and spiritually you're connecting with God and those things

245
00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:35,320
Speaker 2: pop in. It's just it's just garbage. It's like spiritual

246
00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:38,320
Speaker 2: static or snow like on the TV. Just stuff's going

247
00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:41,520
Speaker 2: to come in and out, and you know, you smile

248
00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:44,880
Speaker 2: and praise God through it and continue. God's hearing what

249
00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:47,760
Speaker 2: you have to say. And that's just part of humanity

250
00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:51,840
Speaker 2: and the enemy poking around and the enemy can't stand

251
00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:54,200
Speaker 2: when you pray, can't stand it.

252
00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:58,560
Speaker 7: You're absolutely right, because it's happened. It's like the more

253
00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:01,560
Speaker 7: loving I am and express saying my prayers to you,

254
00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:04,200
Speaker 7: the more it seems to happen, and it's it's awful.

255
00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:07,360
Speaker 2: Oh, it's a if you look at two small children

256
00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:10,880
Speaker 2: that are siblings and if one's getting love from a parent,

257
00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:13,040
Speaker 2: oh goodness, and you see that kind of they come

258
00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:15,360
Speaker 2: over and they'll push or they're pinch or they'll start

259
00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:16,680
Speaker 2: doing something to get attention.

260
00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:20,280
Speaker 7: Exactly. It's like, and I know it that I feel

261
00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:23,360
Speaker 7: that the enemy is so jealous of.

262
00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:27,240
Speaker 2: You, absolutely absolutely, and that's not it's not going to

263
00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:29,880
Speaker 2: win him any points. And he tries to confuse you

264
00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:32,760
Speaker 2: and you get those those feelings and you're the pity

265
00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:35,200
Speaker 2: of your tummy, and you know you need to put

266
00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:37,200
Speaker 2: that aside and not give him any of that power.

267
00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:41,840
Speaker 7: It's exactly. And I say, I say, all evil thoughts

268
00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:44,400
Speaker 7: are all negative thoughts that are that are not in

269
00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:45,560
Speaker 7: obedience to Christ.

270
00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:46,400
Speaker 5: I cast out.

271
00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:48,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, so we want to.

272
00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:50,680
Speaker 7: Make sure, like I said, I'm God fearing and I

273
00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:54,480
Speaker 7: wouldn't want, you know, to be sent to eternal.

274
00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:59,640
Speaker 2: You know, it's not like a technicality. Everybody makes, uh

275
00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:03,160
Speaker 2: the ward of heaven or the so called punishment of

276
00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:07,560
Speaker 2: hell to be a technicality as if you know you

277
00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:10,680
Speaker 2: serve some anal retentive God who's got a list of

278
00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:14,200
Speaker 2: shoulds and should not and it's just like, sorry, you know,

279
00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:16,600
Speaker 2: this is the way it's supposed to be done. And

280
00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:20,280
Speaker 2: it's not really a fair assessment of how God works.

281
00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:24,160
Speaker 2: It's not about knowing or not knowing, or making mistakes

282
00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:26,200
Speaker 2: or any of these things. It's about open rebellion and

283
00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:28,960
Speaker 2: rejection of the will of God. And they're two different things.

284
00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:31,920
Speaker 2: And you know, there's gonna be stuff that slips in

285
00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:35,400
Speaker 2: your life, or you know, things that are kind of

286
00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:38,080
Speaker 2: trying to knock you off your spiritual horse, and you

287
00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:41,320
Speaker 2: just need to hold on and praise God through the

288
00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:45,120
Speaker 2: entirety of it. And there's nothing the devil hates more

289
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:51,160
Speaker 2: than you when you're steadfast. Scripture says, resists the devil

290
00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:53,480
Speaker 2: and he shall flee. And part of that resisting is

291
00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:57,760
Speaker 2: just focusing on God all the more, focusing on God

292
00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:03,720
Speaker 2: as not to get you know, swept away into you know,

293
00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:05,960
Speaker 2: the tricks of the enemy trying to get your attention

294
00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:15,560
Speaker 2: in all those things. Just stay focused, Stay focused, Stay focused. Rick,

295
00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:18,720
Speaker 2: Welcome to the Jesus Christ Show.

296
00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:22,680
Speaker 5: I'm going to find I was I'm gonna say a

297
00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:24,680
Speaker 5: few things, and then I'll just take my answer off there,

298
00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:28,400
Speaker 5: if you don't mind. Sure, I was reading in Revelations

299
00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:31,480
Speaker 5: about the Great Harlet and she was drunk with the

300
00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:35,640
Speaker 5: blood of the saints, and then reading about false prophets,

301
00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:39,119
Speaker 5: one of which you are because you are not Jesus Christ,

302
00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:44,200
Speaker 5: and I think misleading people to even portray the your

303
00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:46,840
Speaker 5: Jesus Christ. The Bible clearly states, so we're the stone

304
00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:49,600
Speaker 5: false prophets, and you coming in saying that you're Jesus

305
00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:51,560
Speaker 5: Christ and even portraying them, I think it is a

306
00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:53,760
Speaker 5: great sin. I'd like to hear your answer to that

307
00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:54,680
Speaker 5: in public.

308
00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:58,000
Speaker 2: Sure, I've said it many many times. This is a

309
00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:01,800
Speaker 2: wonderful place for it. Of course, Rick is similar fellow

310
00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:05,080
Speaker 2: who stands up in the middle of a play and says,

311
00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:10,040
Speaker 2: wait a second, these aren't big cats. These are human

312
00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:14,880
Speaker 2: beings pretending to be cats, which makes it a little

313
00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:16,720
Speaker 2: less fun for everyone else. But I will tell you

314
00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:21,800
Speaker 2: answering the question, that there are many people that portray,

315
00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:27,199
Speaker 2: with good reason and good intent others throughout history to

316
00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:29,760
Speaker 2: put flesh on the bones of those that a lot

317
00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:35,080
Speaker 2: of people don't understand. I'm thinking of maybe a history

318
00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:38,960
Speaker 2: teacher that dresses up like Abe Lincoln or Ben Franken

319
00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:44,560
Speaker 2: to help someone understand the true nature of these individuals.

320
00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:48,000
Speaker 2: If it makes you feel better. There are some that

321
00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:51,840
Speaker 2: may describe this type of thing, he says with a

322
00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:58,359
Speaker 2: wink as responding to the questions of what would Jesus do?

323
00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:01,480
Speaker 2: Maybe that might help you a little bit. But I

324
00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:06,240
Speaker 2: will tell you this, there is no reason ever to

325
00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:10,359
Speaker 2: lie to get on the air. If you have a

326
00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:17,280
Speaker 2: legitimate question, then ask it, or Heaven forbid, sit behind

327
00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:20,120
Speaker 2: that magic box that glows every night in that bedroom

328
00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:25,520
Speaker 2: that you call a computer and google it. But don't

329
00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:28,919
Speaker 2: stand on a soapbox thinking that you're better than everyone

330
00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:33,399
Speaker 2: else who actually understands the process and gets it in

331
00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:37,840
Speaker 2: totality and plays along that somehow you're going to break

332
00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:44,840
Speaker 2: some new information blasphemous, not even close. Wouldn't participate in

333
00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:49,480
Speaker 2: it if it was a different way of sharing old

334
00:19:49,520 --> 00:20:00,760
Speaker 2: important information. Well just maybe I don't know why I

335
00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:03,080
Speaker 2: feel lad to talk about this right now, and I

336
00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:08,160
Speaker 2: will get to more of your calls. But in Matthew,

337
00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:10,960
Speaker 2: this is one of those verses that tends to come up.

338
00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:15,720
Speaker 2: Who a guest comes up when people talk about this

339
00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:24,960
Speaker 2: show and others about the possibility of false Christs, and

340
00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:27,960
Speaker 2: scripture does warn that there will be those that come

341
00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:33,680
Speaker 2: saying that they are the Christ. And I just want

342
00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:38,439
Speaker 2: to tell you that that is not that's not someone

343
00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:45,439
Speaker 2: portraying Christ. It's not somebody in a movie, in a play,

344
00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:51,639
Speaker 2: anything like that, or heaven forbid a radio show that

345
00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:55,560
Speaker 2: is really talking about someone saying that person Jesus from

346
00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:59,240
Speaker 2: Nazareth that you heard about is not the Messiah. I

347
00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:08,520
Speaker 2: am now build the Christ. That's a different situation. That's

348
00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:16,320
Speaker 2: about someone trying to steal the Christ. Moniker. There were

349
00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:20,240
Speaker 2: many people in my day that walked around saying the

350
00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:22,919
Speaker 2: same thing. That's why a lot of people didn't believe me,

351
00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:27,440
Speaker 2: because on every street corner you had someone else proclaiming

352
00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:32,359
Speaker 2: to be God for whatever reason. Oh I could do this,

353
00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:34,480
Speaker 2: or I can do that. That's why the miracles were

354
00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:37,320
Speaker 2: so important in context. Even though there were some that

355
00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:40,080
Speaker 2: were trying to mimic miracles as well, and we're doing

356
00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:44,719
Speaker 2: a good job of it. Some miracles weren't just party favors.

357
00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:47,040
Speaker 2: They weren't something just to get attention. They were to

358
00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:50,560
Speaker 2: solidify what I was trying to teach. So those that

359
00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:52,639
Speaker 2: worry about oh, there's going to be false Christ. It's

360
00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:54,639
Speaker 2: going to be different. It's going to be someone claiming

361
00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:58,239
Speaker 2: that they really are the Christ and that I was

362
00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:01,320
Speaker 2: just a manifestation at the time or something like that,

363
00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:05,040
Speaker 2: and twisting and turning it all around completely different. But

364
00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:07,880
Speaker 2: you know what, show yourself approved study a little bit,

365
00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:14,360
Speaker 2: see where there's actually a threat. Christians can be a

366
00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:18,880
Speaker 2: fascinating group of people. The only people on the planet

367
00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:23,880
Speaker 2: that tend to shoot. They're wounded and really causes for

368
00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:29,239
Speaker 2: a problem when you're trying to defend yourself against a

369
00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:33,600
Speaker 2: decaying world that wants nothing more than Christianity to lose.

370
00:22:35,119 --> 00:22:39,200
Speaker 2: And if that's their will, fine, but for the love

371
00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:42,680
Speaker 2: of all that is good in Heaven, don't help them out.

372
00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:48,960
Speaker 2: Deb Welcome to the Jesus Christ Show.

373
00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:51,159
Speaker 6: Hello, I.

374
00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:54,800
Speaker 2: Am well, how are you well?

375
00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:58,000
Speaker 1: First of all, I want to tell you I'd like

376
00:22:58,040 --> 00:23:00,760
Speaker 1: you to tell Neil he's doing wonderful job.

377
00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:02,880
Speaker 2: Oh boy, it might go to his head.

378
00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:08,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know, but we'll keep it between us encouragement.

379
00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:13,200
Speaker 2: That is so very true. I will pass that alone.

380
00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:17,000
Speaker 1: Thank you. I wanted to ask you when I got saved.

381
00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:24,840
Speaker 1: It was a euphoric experience. I ended up I got

382
00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:30,720
Speaker 1: saved on Battery Street. You know that makes me feel

383
00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:36,000
Speaker 1: you've got a sense of humor there. And also uh

384
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:41,879
Speaker 1: then then at the at the time, my friend was

385
00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:44,560
Speaker 1: was witnessing to me, and I finally, you know, gave

386
00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:47,800
Speaker 1: my my heart over and she went running down this

387
00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:50,159
Speaker 1: hill and I went running down too, and it just

388
00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:55,080
Speaker 1: had this total euphoric feeling. And I asked her what

389
00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:58,720
Speaker 1: it was, and she said it was God's love. And

390
00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:03,680
Speaker 1: I've talked to before dead have said they never had

391
00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:07,600
Speaker 1: any kind of feeling like that, so they kind of

392
00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:11,320
Speaker 1: discounted it, and so it was just an emotional whatever,

393
00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:14,320
Speaker 1: And I truly think it was it was, you know,

394
00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:20,240
Speaker 1: God opening up my heart and coming in and that

395
00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:23,280
Speaker 1: it was a supernatural experience.

396
00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:26,080
Speaker 2: What do you think it could very well be. One

397
00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:28,200
Speaker 2: thing that we will never ever do on this show

398
00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:31,520
Speaker 2: is argue someone's experience. You just can't. You were there,

399
00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:36,400
Speaker 2: We weren't, And there's no way to really wrestle around that. However,

400
00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:39,119
Speaker 2: there are some things, some great tools that I like

401
00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:43,200
Speaker 2: people to use when it comes to these things. Feelings

402
00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:48,719
Speaker 2: can are Feelings can really mislead you, and so they

403
00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:52,960
Speaker 2: should only be used objective and subjective feelings should only

404
00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:56,879
Speaker 2: be used together. And that is to say, as my

405
00:24:57,000 --> 00:25:00,520
Speaker 2: producer Neil speaking of well, we won't say the devil,

406
00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:05,280
Speaker 2: but speaking of Neil, he often jokes about how the

407
00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:07,639
Speaker 2: feeling he gets when he falls in love, although he

408
00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:10,199
Speaker 2: won't be doing that anymore, being buried at all, but

409
00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:12,600
Speaker 2: the feeling he gets falling in love is similar to

410
00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:16,000
Speaker 2: the feeling he gets when he seesick clammy hands and

411
00:25:16,040 --> 00:25:19,119
Speaker 2: the queasy stomach and all those things. So you have

412
00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:22,040
Speaker 2: to look at the situation. Is he sitting across the

413
00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:26,080
Speaker 2: table from his beautiful wife, then it's love. Is he

414
00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:29,200
Speaker 2: sitting across a boat, a fishing boat with a bunch

415
00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:33,440
Speaker 2: of sweaty guys, probably not love. So you can balance

416
00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:37,159
Speaker 2: out your experiences by way of those things going on

417
00:25:38,280 --> 00:25:42,720
Speaker 2: that surround you as well. Absolutely those things take place,

418
00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:46,680
Speaker 2: that they do take place, and there are euphoric feelings,

419
00:25:46,720 --> 00:25:50,879
Speaker 2: and there are very wonderful experiences that go with some

420
00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:54,320
Speaker 2: people and their faith. But also know this, like a

421
00:25:54,359 --> 00:25:56,960
Speaker 2: dog whistle or certain sounds, there are some people that

422
00:25:57,000 --> 00:25:59,919
Speaker 2: are more sensitive to them than others, and there are

423
00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:03,119
Speaker 2: some people who it is not in their makeup to

424
00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:08,720
Speaker 2: really kind of experience those things. They may, they may

425
00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:11,840
Speaker 2: much later in life, or they may for certain specific reasons,

426
00:26:12,359 --> 00:26:15,840
Speaker 2: but you never ever know, and you might just be

427
00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:18,960
Speaker 2: someone who's a little more open to those things and

428
00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:22,159
Speaker 2: a little more susceptible. But it doesn't make it wrong

429
00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:25,640
Speaker 2: or false or any of those things. Don't let someone

430
00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:28,040
Speaker 2: try and take it away from you either. There are

431
00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:32,199
Speaker 2: many experiences in scripture where people had euphoric feelings, but

432
00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:36,520
Speaker 2: even the enemy, the devil himself, is a counterfeit and

433
00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:39,560
Speaker 2: can recreate these types of things. So never use just

434
00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:41,720
Speaker 2: the feeling to be the judgment of if you're doing

435
00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:44,840
Speaker 2: something good or doing something bad, or if it's of God,

436
00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:47,080
Speaker 2: if it's not of God. It needs to be surrounded

437
00:26:47,080 --> 00:26:51,240
Speaker 2: by other things. And the description you gave me of

438
00:26:51,280 --> 00:26:56,320
Speaker 2: when that feeling or that euphoric onset came about, sounds

439
00:26:56,440 --> 00:27:00,919
Speaker 2: like the perfect case for a God give an experience,

440
00:27:01,080 --> 00:27:04,160
Speaker 2: doesn't it? Yeah, it does. It feels like that. That's

441
00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:06,920
Speaker 2: the setting in which God would use something like that.

442
00:27:07,359 --> 00:27:10,440
Speaker 2: Now I hear, you know, other things at times where

443
00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:12,040
Speaker 2: people say, oh, but I did this in that, and

444
00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:13,560
Speaker 2: you go, that has nothing to do with God. As

445
00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:16,000
Speaker 2: a matter of fact, there are parts of scripture that

446
00:27:16,119 --> 00:27:20,160
Speaker 2: denounced that very uh, you know, situation, and yet you're

447
00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:22,439
Speaker 2: trying to tell me that it's of God. Or someone

448
00:27:22,520 --> 00:27:24,919
Speaker 2: says that they were visited by an angel, yet that

449
00:27:25,040 --> 00:27:28,160
Speaker 2: angel has nothing to say except things that are completely

450
00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:31,879
Speaker 2: antithetical to scripture. Then you can pretty much throw it

451
00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:34,440
Speaker 2: away and throw the experience away. But what you describe

452
00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:37,880
Speaker 2: sounds to me like good old God touching your heart.
