Welcome to the Jesus Christ Show. 12 00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:52,840 Speaker 3: Hi, Jesus, Hi Keith. 13 00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:53,680 Speaker 4: How can I help you? 14 00:00:55,480 --> 00:01:00,000 Speaker 5: I have a question for you. 15 00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:09,200 Speaker 3: Was Mary born without original sin? And or did it 16 00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:11,080 Speaker 3: happen after conception? 17 00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:24,840 Speaker 2: What you mean sin? What happened after conception hers? 18 00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:28,080 Speaker 4: Or mine? 19 00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:29,600 Speaker 6: No? 20 00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:32,759 Speaker 3: After her conception? 21 00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:33,520 Speaker 7: Yeah? 22 00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:34,000 Speaker 4: Okay. 23 00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:42,959 Speaker 2: So the Immaculate Conception is basically is dogma to the 24 00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:46,560 Speaker 2: Catholic Church as of about eighteen. 25 00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:49,880 Speaker 4: Fifty four, and that is. 26 00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:55,560 Speaker 2: The belief that Mary was born without sin from the womb, 27 00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:59,120 Speaker 2: she was protected, and that my mother was without sin. 28 00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:04,080 Speaker 2: Protestants do not believe this. This is one of the 29 00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:08,840 Speaker 2: tenants and the separations of the Church. Of course, Protestants 30 00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:15,639 Speaker 2: slowed down. The word is Protestant. They were protesting the 31 00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:20,040 Speaker 2: church at the time. So the church split and divided, 32 00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:29,919 Speaker 2: and then you had Catholics, the universal Church separate into Protestants, 33 00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:36,400 Speaker 2: and so the Protestants, the Protestants do not believe in 34 00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:39,239 Speaker 2: the virgin birth. And there's a couple of reasons why 35 00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:45,200 Speaker 2: so we'll go from scripture, not from dogma. With respect 36 00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:51,800 Speaker 2: to our Catholic brothers and sisters, there is no place 37 00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:56,680 Speaker 2: in scripture that says Mary is without sin as a 38 00:02:56,720 --> 00:03:02,799 Speaker 2: matter of as a matter of fact, there is scripture 39 00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:06,040 Speaker 2: after scripture after scripture that says there is no one 40 00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:16,639 Speaker 2: except Christ who is sinless. So that's a really, you know, 41 00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:20,360 Speaker 2: a problematic when you read Romans three twenty three saying 42 00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:25,320 Speaker 2: for all all have sinned and fallen short of the 43 00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:29,480 Speaker 2: glory of God. The only one that's ever talked about 44 00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:34,160 Speaker 2: being outside of that says in John one, John one 45 00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:36,880 Speaker 2: eight through ten. If we say we have no sin, 46 00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:39,960 Speaker 2: we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. 47 00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:43,280 Speaker 2: If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just 48 00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:47,280 Speaker 2: to forgive us, and so on and so forth. There 49 00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:55,360 Speaker 2: are throughout Scripture many cases where it talks about that 50 00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:59,480 Speaker 2: everybody other than Christ. 51 00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:02,160 Speaker 4: Is with sin. 52 00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:09,800 Speaker 2: Also, Mary, my mother refers to me in scripture as savior, 53 00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:18,799 Speaker 2: Savior of what the being the savior is to refer 54 00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:25,400 Speaker 2: to salvation, and salvation is there in regards to sin 55 00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:30,240 Speaker 2: and the sin nature that comes through the bloodline after 56 00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:36,279 Speaker 2: the fall in the garden. So ultimately it's it's a 57 00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:41,920 Speaker 2: tough cell through scripture. But in deference to our Catholic 58 00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:48,279 Speaker 2: brothers and sisters listening there, they have beliefs that are 59 00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:53,480 Speaker 2: in addition to Scripture, which is dogma, and their understanding 60 00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:59,640 Speaker 2: therein so that ties in to their belief system, and 61 00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:05,240 Speaker 2: so that adds another insight as to why they believe 62 00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:08,440 Speaker 2: what they believe and where it falls in their belief system. 63 00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:13,800 Speaker 2: That is outside of scripture. There's nothing in scripture that 64 00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:18,680 Speaker 2: talks about that or being. Those are things that grew later. 65 00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:23,520 Speaker 2: There are some historians and theologians that believe, and keep 66 00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:26,040 Speaker 2: in mind there's a bias in all those that if 67 00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:27,680 Speaker 2: they're Protestants, they're going to look at it from a 68 00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:31,240 Speaker 2: Protestant point of view, but believe that it was to 69 00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:36,800 Speaker 2: enhance the prominence of Mary in hopes of getting women 70 00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:41,120 Speaker 2: more interested in the church at the time. So it 71 00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:44,600 Speaker 2: depends where you land on those things. But scripturally, which 72 00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:47,520 Speaker 2: is where this show focuses on, even though we do 73 00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:50,520 Speaker 2: look at history and those things as well, but try 74 00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:53,599 Speaker 2: to remove it from the seeding of one particular church 75 00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:58,040 Speaker 2: and focus on the scripture that defines and appoint at 76 00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:02,000 Speaker 2: all things and continues to be a direction for all 77 00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:07,000 Speaker 2: that is known has been known from the words of God. 78 00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:11,440 Speaker 1: You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand. 79 00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:13,919 Speaker 2: And you can give me a call if you have 80 00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:19,600 Speaker 2: a question dealing with theology, religion, spirituality, worldviews, the Bible, 81 00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:23,640 Speaker 2: or if you're going through something that you swing on you. 82 00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:26,440 Speaker 2: We call them life situations. You can give me a 83 00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:29,120 Speaker 2: call as well. Eight hundred five to zero one five 84 00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:36,520 Speaker 2: three four, eight hundred five to zero one five three four, Lauria, 85 00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:38,120 Speaker 2: Welcome to the Jesus Christ Show. 86 00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:43,560 Speaker 6: Dear Jesus, thank you. I'm grateful for taking my call. 87 00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:48,120 Speaker 6: I've tried for a long time quickly and I hope 88 00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:51,680 Speaker 6: to be articulate. I'm nervous that I am even talking 89 00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:52,000 Speaker 6: to you. 90 00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:54,159 Speaker 5: Oh no, sane what I want to say. 91 00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:58,599 Speaker 6: I've for the last couple of years now, I've been 92 00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:02,080 Speaker 6: doing re search on the Holy Spirit. It was just 93 00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:06,920 Speaker 6: something that came to me and I got into I 94 00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:12,400 Speaker 6: think it's anumalogy if I pronounced that correctly. There's things 95 00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:14,640 Speaker 6: that I agree with, things that I don't agree with, 96 00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:17,880 Speaker 6: but I am totally one hundred percent into the Holy Spirit. 97 00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:23,240 Speaker 6: And somewhere somewhere in my research, I came across something 98 00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:27,480 Speaker 6: that said, there are sins that we commit that are 99 00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:31,760 Speaker 6: unforgivable by the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is the 100 00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:36,720 Speaker 6: spirit of God. And I've mentioned this to some of 101 00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:40,760 Speaker 6: my friends that we discuss the Holy Spirit and other things, 102 00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:45,200 Speaker 6: and they disagree. They say that there is there is 103 00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:51,760 Speaker 6: not a sin that is unforgivable, that is forgivable. Not 104 00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:59,320 Speaker 6: articulating and correct. I read that we can commit sins 105 00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:04,360 Speaker 6: that are unforgivable by the Holy Spirit. Am I correct? 106 00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:05,520 Speaker 4: There is one? 107 00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:10,920 Speaker 2: So first of all, pneumatology numology or when you're studying 108 00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:14,120 Speaker 2: that's like lungs or things like that, or there are 109 00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:16,600 Speaker 2: certain things. They come from the same word. Actually it 110 00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:20,160 Speaker 2: means breath, or it means like the breath of life. 111 00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:24,360 Speaker 2: So they come from similar places, but one is the 112 00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:29,440 Speaker 2: study of the theological concept of the spirit. So there 113 00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:32,480 Speaker 2: is something in scripture that is called the blasphemy of 114 00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:37,840 Speaker 2: the Holy Spirit, and it can be very confusing to some. 115 00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:44,000 Speaker 2: So I'm going to even know even though that every 116 00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:46,800 Speaker 2: analogy breaks down at some point, they're used as an 117 00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:49,520 Speaker 2: illustration to help understand bigger concepts. 118 00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:51,120 Speaker 4: So let's look at this for a second. 119 00:08:52,520 --> 00:09:00,079 Speaker 2: If you're driving, heaven forbid down a road towards a 120 00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:04,280 Speaker 2: cliff that if you go off the cliff you most 121 00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:11,120 Speaker 2: certainly will pass, and it is lined with loved ones, 122 00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:14,960 Speaker 2: and they are calling out to you as you drive, 123 00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:19,360 Speaker 2: and they say, Gloria, stop the car. You're going to 124 00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:22,160 Speaker 2: go over a cliff, and you ignore them and you 125 00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:26,360 Speaker 2: continue to drive. And then people say, stop, Gloria, there's 126 00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:28,679 Speaker 2: a cliff at the end. You will go over it 127 00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:32,600 Speaker 2: and you will surely die. And you continue to go forward, 128 00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:36,600 Speaker 2: with all the people and the loved ones in your 129 00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:38,400 Speaker 2: life saying don't do it, Gloria. 130 00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:40,080 Speaker 4: You still go. 131 00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:46,600 Speaker 2: You pierce that break between the ground and now the sky, 132 00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:50,000 Speaker 2: and your vehicle goes over. 133 00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:52,079 Speaker 4: The cliff. 134 00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:58,520 Speaker 2: Your realization now is confirmed. Oh my gosh, they were right. 135 00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:05,080 Speaker 2: There is no going back after that. You've ignored everything 136 00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:08,600 Speaker 2: and you can't say, oh, I want to do over. 137 00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:13,240 Speaker 4: It's done. That is the conviction of your belief. 138 00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:17,920 Speaker 2: That is the finalization the consequences of your decision, your 139 00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:23,280 Speaker 2: choice of free will. Now, using that, let's go back 140 00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:28,560 Speaker 2: and talk about the Trinity, the Father of the Son, 141 00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:34,120 Speaker 2: and the Holy Spirit. It is simple to say, the 142 00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:36,960 Speaker 2: Holy Spirit woos you and taps on your heart and 143 00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:43,280 Speaker 2: brings you to Christ. The belief and conviction of the 144 00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:48,400 Speaker 2: death and the cross of perfection in the sinless one 145 00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:52,520 Speaker 2: brings you to the Father because that bridge was broken. 146 00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:59,320 Speaker 2: So you need that process of the Spirit bringing you 147 00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:04,000 Speaker 2: to Christ, bringing you to the Father in the harmony 148 00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:11,440 Speaker 2: of the Trinity. If you ignore the Spirit. Now they 149 00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:17,920 Speaker 2: refer to this as giving. It talks about the blaspheming 150 00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:25,360 Speaker 2: the Holy Spirit being crediting things improperly, not crediting the 151 00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:32,280 Speaker 2: Spirit properly or crediting it improperly. Imagine this. The Spirit 152 00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:35,439 Speaker 2: is those people, your friends and family standing on the 153 00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:40,600 Speaker 2: side of the road wooing you to no Christ. If 154 00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:45,480 Speaker 2: you reject that, if you blasphem, if you reject the 155 00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:56,120 Speaker 2: wooing of the Holy Spirit, which Christ himself left for people, 156 00:11:56,880 --> 00:12:01,120 Speaker 2: for humans to be the mighty comforter and to bring 157 00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:05,400 Speaker 2: them through the salvation into the hands in the arms 158 00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:11,520 Speaker 2: of the Father. If you ignore that unto death, it's 159 00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:15,720 Speaker 2: as final as being off the other side of the cliff. 160 00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:20,199 Speaker 2: You can't come back from that because if you reject 161 00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:29,240 Speaker 2: God unto death, that's your last decision and that is 162 00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:30,680 Speaker 2: respected by God. 163 00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:35,920 Speaker 3: Wow. 164 00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:41,360 Speaker 6: Is there is there any scripture that that I can 165 00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:48,480 Speaker 6: hold on to? When I mentioned this to my friends, 166 00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:50,559 Speaker 6: It's not about. 167 00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:53,200 Speaker 2: A literal scripture where you read this one thing. It's 168 00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:56,920 Speaker 2: about the hermonoutics. The balance of scripture, the harmony of 169 00:12:56,960 --> 00:13:03,520 Speaker 2: scripture shows that the Holy Spirit is left for humans. 170 00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:06,960 Speaker 2: We know that the Holy Spirit brings people to me, 171 00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:11,280 Speaker 2: That brings people to the Father. When you put these 172 00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:15,400 Speaker 2: things together, that is the only finality that you can 173 00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:19,560 Speaker 2: do to God is with free will reject God. God 174 00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:24,320 Speaker 2: will not force himself. Hell is not designed for people. 175 00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:29,240 Speaker 2: Hell's is designed for fallen angels. Humans are the only 176 00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:31,200 Speaker 2: ones that make a decision to go there or not. 177 00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:32,040 Speaker 4: If you. 178 00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:38,040 Speaker 2: Don't love God and serve God for ninety one hundred 179 00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:43,080 Speaker 2: years on this planet, why would you want to be 180 00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:47,400 Speaker 2: forced to for eternity. God gives people with free will 181 00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:48,960 Speaker 2: the ability. 182 00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:51,000 Speaker 5: To not do that. 183 00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:57,120 Speaker 2: But once you make that decision, God says, either My 184 00:13:57,280 --> 00:14:01,840 Speaker 2: will be done or thy will be done. And in 185 00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:03,960 Speaker 2: the case of thy will be done, that means you 186 00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:08,560 Speaker 2: have made yourself God and you will have the consequences. 187 00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:12,280 Speaker 1: Therein you're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand. 188 00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:16,160 Speaker 2: Merry Christmas to you and your family.

Welcome to the Jesus Christ Show. 199 00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:52,480 Speaker 7: Hi Jesus, the Happy Birthday. 200 00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:53,480 Speaker 4: Why thank you. 201 00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:59,080 Speaker 7: I have a couple of questions for you. Okay, I 202 00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:05,720 Speaker 7: was wondering how come you were uh nailed. I guess 203 00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:08,560 Speaker 7: I wouldn't saying I don't know if nailed is the 204 00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:12,640 Speaker 7: correct word, right? How come you were like nailed in 205 00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:17,040 Speaker 7: the cross? Because I saw pictures of you and I 206 00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:21,440 Speaker 7: saw black coming out your hands and your feet. And 207 00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:26,040 Speaker 7: my second question is how how did you first rise 208 00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:28,480 Speaker 7: rise up on your birthday? 209 00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:33,240 Speaker 2: Well, actually there's a there's a lot to unravel there, 210 00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:40,440 Speaker 2: uh Christopher. For a couple of things. One, yes, nailed pierced, 211 00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:44,840 Speaker 2: Uh nailed to the cross. That was I wasn't the 212 00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:47,280 Speaker 2: only one that was ever nailed to a tree across 213 00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:53,479 Speaker 2: a post. That was cruci fixion was something that predates 214 00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:57,800 Speaker 2: my crucifixion. But if you look at the timeline, you're 215 00:15:57,840 --> 00:16:02,040 Speaker 2: talking about getting confused with Christmas and Easter and the 216 00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:05,560 Speaker 2: birth and the resurrection and all of those things. So 217 00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:11,280 Speaker 2: it's kind of hard to that's the way to say 218 00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:18,120 Speaker 2: it unravel that particular particular ball of yarn. So let's 219 00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:24,080 Speaker 2: see the piercing. Yes, piercing didn't rise from the dead 220 00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:30,360 Speaker 2: on Christmas. Christmas, the celebration of Christmas is actually my birth. 221 00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:35,160 Speaker 2: I hope that helps I help Mark. Welcome to the 222 00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:36,040 Speaker 2: Jesus Christ Show. 223 00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:41,360 Speaker 8: I asked that a question I believe in scripture refers 224 00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:44,120 Speaker 8: to you as the only begotten son of God, and 225 00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:47,680 Speaker 8: I was wondering if that was an inference to the 226 00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:50,640 Speaker 8: physical conception with Mary and God the Father. 227 00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:52,480 Speaker 4: What are your thoughts on that? 228 00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:59,240 Speaker 2: Okay, So this causes people confusion because of translations. If 229 00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:02,120 Speaker 2: you go back whenever there's some sort of confusion or 230 00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:05,040 Speaker 2: you're not sure as to what the meaning might be. 231 00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:08,520 Speaker 2: There's a couple of things that are important. Context is important, 232 00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:10,960 Speaker 2: making sure that it's seated in the context of what's 233 00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:15,560 Speaker 2: being said. Also, how is that same word used? Ancient 234 00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:21,359 Speaker 2: languages off and use things like context, same as you 235 00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:25,680 Speaker 2: do today, but they had less words than the vocabulary 236 00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:30,040 Speaker 2: of let's say English today or modern English. So if 237 00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:33,639 Speaker 2: you start to break that down and you see it 238 00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:37,600 Speaker 2: in its context, it's like mark if I said I 239 00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:40,879 Speaker 2: was working on a table, Well, if I'm a mathematician, 240 00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:43,760 Speaker 2: it might be a mathematical table. If I'm a carpenter, 241 00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:46,320 Speaker 2: I might be making a table. If I'm working on 242 00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:50,360 Speaker 2: some art, I might be actually working on the table, drawing, painting, 243 00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:54,400 Speaker 2: doing whatever on the table. So context is important. Secondly 244 00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:58,359 Speaker 2: is to take not take the translation per se, but 245 00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:01,199 Speaker 2: to go back and look at the actual words. So 246 00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:03,600 Speaker 2: in this case, when you go back and you look 247 00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:07,200 Speaker 2: at the actual word that's being used there. In the Greek, 248 00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:13,560 Speaker 2: it's monogenous and has two primary definitions. So the first 249 00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:15,919 Speaker 2: one to be pertaining to being the only one of 250 00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:23,480 Speaker 2: its kind within a specific relationship. Okay, So Hebrews eleven seventeen, 251 00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:27,800 Speaker 2: for his instance, it says by faith Abraham, when he 252 00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:32,200 Speaker 2: was tested, offered up Isaac, and he who had received 253 00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:35,080 Speaker 2: the promises, was in the act of ordering up his 254 00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:40,840 Speaker 2: only son. Used the same word, but Abraham had more 255 00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:44,040 Speaker 2: than one son, so it was talking about the relationship 256 00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:49,080 Speaker 2: was specific, not talking about only being begotten. See you 257 00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:52,399 Speaker 2: go through Leviticus, and you see so and so begot 258 00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:55,040 Speaker 2: so and so and all of these things. You start thinking, well, 259 00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:57,399 Speaker 2: then that means they gave birth to But that's not 260 00:18:57,760 --> 00:19:02,480 Speaker 2: the truth. The other usage of the word monogenous that 261 00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:05,760 Speaker 2: is translated in the King James, which is the one 262 00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:14,760 Speaker 2: that causes the most confusion. It refers to a specific uniqueness, 263 00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:20,919 Speaker 2: a uniqueness that is one of a kind, a unique 264 00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:25,879 Speaker 2: in its kind, unique in its definition, and that's what 265 00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:30,159 Speaker 2: is used there. It's not talking about being born or 266 00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:33,680 Speaker 2: being a God's son in the sense that I'm not God, 267 00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:40,240 Speaker 2: because it says it says differently in First John in 268 00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:41,240 Speaker 2: the beginning was the word. 269 00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:43,560 Speaker 4: The word was with God. The word was God. 270 00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:47,840 Speaker 2: And that's very specific as to who I was in 271 00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:49,080 Speaker 2: the context of scripture. 272 00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:50,840 Speaker 4: So here monogenous. 273 00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:54,879 Speaker 2: The Greek word is used to say one of a kind, 274 00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:58,360 Speaker 2: not begotten in the sense that there was a physical 275 00:19:58,400 --> 00:19:59,560 Speaker 2: birth or any of those things. 276 00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:01,320 Speaker 4: Because I've predate my birth. 277 00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:05,520 Speaker 2: There are times they're called Christophanes in scripture where you 278 00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:10,080 Speaker 2: can find that I pre exist the physical self that 279 00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:11,639 Speaker 2: comes later in scripture. 280 00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:14,440 Speaker 4: It is the Jesus Christ Show. 281 00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:18,360 Speaker 1: You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand. 282 00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:23,800 Speaker 2: Merry Christmas to you and your family. May it be 283 00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:28,080 Speaker 2: one of health and happiness and joy connecting with one 284 00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:32,639 Speaker 2: another over good food and conversation. And we have just 285 00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:35,480 Speaker 2: one more segment here, so let's get to it and 286 00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:37,080 Speaker 2: talk with Stephen. 287 00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:38,960 Speaker 4: Stephen, Welcome to the Jesus Christ Show. 288 00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:44,040 Speaker 5: Hello, unhappy anniversary of birth, my holy host. 289 00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:47,040 Speaker 4: Thank you. How can I help you today, Stephen? 290 00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:52,840 Speaker 5: Well, question regarding I guess the church history more or 291 00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:55,720 Speaker 5: less at one point in the early history of the 292 00:20:55,800 --> 00:21:03,720 Speaker 5: Church after your death, did Church determine this period to 293 00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:10,840 Speaker 5: be a holy day or a recognized day annually to 294 00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:11,800 Speaker 5: what we know today. 295 00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:14,560 Speaker 2: It's interesting that you asked that, because if you go 296 00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:18,760 Speaker 2: back and you really trace it, it wasn't really. There 297 00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:21,359 Speaker 2: are some that celebrate, just like there is anything, but 298 00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:25,120 Speaker 2: there was not as much interest early on as one 299 00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:28,919 Speaker 2: might think. Wasn't until the fourth century that the church 300 00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:33,720 Speaker 2: kind of formalized it. But basically the December twenty fifth 301 00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:37,919 Speaker 2: stuff was kind of trying to push out the robin 302 00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:43,959 Speaker 2: pagan winter solstice stuff, so like festivals like Saturnalia and 303 00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:47,240 Speaker 2: things like that, the worship being of the sun, and 304 00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:50,560 Speaker 2: they would try and kind of put that so the 305 00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:55,160 Speaker 2: feast of the Nativity and these types of things push 306 00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:59,720 Speaker 2: that out. Christmas comes from Christ's Mass. It's an old 307 00:21:59,800 --> 00:22:03,880 Speaker 2: name for church service, for the church service, and then 308 00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:06,800 Speaker 2: you have Saint Nicholas and these things and decorations and 309 00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:10,440 Speaker 2: Carolyn came later. But if you look at early history, 310 00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:14,600 Speaker 2: you'll find that a lot of it was filled with debauchery. 311 00:22:14,840 --> 00:22:17,040 Speaker 2: I mean, there were a lot of people that celebrated, 312 00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:20,879 Speaker 2: but you know, a bit differently. There was a lot 313 00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:25,240 Speaker 2: of drinking and things like that out in the streets 314 00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:27,760 Speaker 2: and the like. Well, let's see if we squeeze one more. Kathy, 315 00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:29,120 Speaker 2: Welcome to The Jesus Christ Show. 316 00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:32,960 Speaker 7: Oh yes, hello, good afternoon. 317 00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:33,520 Speaker 1: Hi. 318 00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:40,199 Speaker 7: Hi. I was wondering if it's bad to watch Fatal 319 00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:44,320 Speaker 7: Traction on Christmas Eve because, for the only reason that 320 00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:51,360 Speaker 7: it occurred at this time many years ago, and for 321 00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:56,240 Speaker 7: some reason, it gives me solace. It's kind of soothing you. 322 00:22:56,280 --> 00:23:01,120 Speaker 2: Thank God you're not in that relationship. What's the solace? 323 00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:06,320 Speaker 7: Well, because she gets revenge. 324 00:23:06,600 --> 00:23:09,879 Speaker 2: Oh well, I'm not sure if revenge is healthy, but 325 00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:12,399 Speaker 2: I guess if I had to choose before between you 326 00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:17,000 Speaker 2: watching it on Christmas Eve versus Easter. If you've seen 327 00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:18,919 Speaker 2: it before, you know what I'm saying with the rabbit, 328 00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:24,000 Speaker 2: that's probably better. But I'm not crazy about the revenge 329 00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:27,919 Speaker 2: part Kathy. But no, there's nothing wrong with watching it. 330 00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:30,640 Speaker 2: Let's see if we can squeeze one more in Joe, 331 00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:32,920 Speaker 2: Welcome to the Jesus Christ Show. 332 00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:34,719 Speaker 4: You're the big finale.
