1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:06,240
Speaker 1: You're listening to KFI A six forty on demand. Betsy,

2
00:00:06,320 --> 00:00:07,520
Speaker 1: Welcome to the Jesus christ Show.

3
00:00:07,800 --> 00:00:09,879
Speaker 2: Oh, it's so good to talk to you. Merry Christmas,

4
00:00:09,920 --> 00:00:14,800
Speaker 2: Happy Birthday, Merry Christmas too. I wondered if you agreed

5
00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:18,959
Speaker 2: with what I'm about to say in regard to people

6
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:23,840
Speaker 2: who defend the Nativity scene at Christmas, and they do

7
00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:26,400
Speaker 2: it in such a way that kind of drives me crazy.

8
00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:27,000
Speaker 1: What's that?

9
00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:31,120
Speaker 2: Oh, well, they say it's it's baby Jesus's birthday, it's

10
00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:35,280
Speaker 2: your birthday, but they don't really elucidate or they don't

11
00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:38,839
Speaker 2: really give the full meaning of what Jesus did as

12
00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:43,240
Speaker 2: a man, and any more than like when people say

13
00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:47,360
Speaker 2: happy birthday, George Washington, it's not just a baby, it's

14
00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:48,360
Speaker 2: what he did in life.

15
00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:51,600
Speaker 1: I see. So you're saying, focusing just on the birth

16
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:54,279
Speaker 1: is missing the point of the life, the death, and

17
00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:56,160
Speaker 1: the resurrection. Yes.

18
00:00:56,960 --> 00:01:01,360
Speaker 2: I did a little thinking about why we celebrate Jesus' birthday,

19
00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:04,520
Speaker 2: your birthday, and it came to me that knowing the

20
00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:08,360
Speaker 2: man as we do through the Bible and what he did,

21
00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:13,600
Speaker 2: what you did, my gosh, it's the most powerful word

22
00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:18,360
Speaker 2: in the entire world. He overcame you evercame the world,

23
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:24,479
Speaker 2: the flesh and the devil, and through the resurrection and

24
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:29,600
Speaker 2: with love. So I just think that it sometimes when

25
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:33,320
Speaker 2: people try to defend why they want the Nativity scene,

26
00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:38,720
Speaker 2: or why they want displays of Christmas, or even why

27
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:43,600
Speaker 2: we say Merry Christmas, it's because we are then focusing

28
00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:47,760
Speaker 2: on the most powerful word in the world, because it's love.

29
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:52,480
Speaker 2: So anyway, that's my definition of I wanted your thoughts

30
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:56,120
Speaker 2: on how to define the christ life.

31
00:01:56,520 --> 00:02:00,640
Speaker 1: Well, well, yeah, christ it comes from the Greek word Christos.

32
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:04,880
Speaker 1: It means the anointed one, and obviously it is a

33
00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:10,720
Speaker 1: translates the Hebrew word that is used to mean Messiah.

34
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:14,920
Speaker 1: So the anointed One is very, very powerful. And I

35
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:19,320
Speaker 1: hear what you're saying that ultimately they're focusing so their

36
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:22,720
Speaker 1: site seems narrow. They're focusing so much on this one part.

37
00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:25,919
Speaker 1: It's not illuminating the reason why the birth would be

38
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:28,280
Speaker 1: important at all, which is about the life and the

39
00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:33,040
Speaker 1: times and the death and resurrection. I think that you

40
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:38,119
Speaker 1: can get super hyper focused on that, and you too

41
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:40,520
Speaker 1: can lose sight of what's going on. I think that

42
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:45,040
Speaker 1: the defense sometimes is the feeling that Christians get what

43
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:47,320
Speaker 1: they feel they're being picked on or that their rights

44
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:53,080
Speaker 1: are kind of becoming second class, and therefore that you know,

45
00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:56,640
Speaker 1: everyone else, even pagan belief systems around. You know, you

46
00:02:56,680 --> 00:03:01,359
Speaker 1: can put pagan symbols up around Halloween, and schools and

47
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:03,679
Speaker 1: everything else is fine with it. But if you do

48
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:06,400
Speaker 1: any Christian symbols, people start getting up tight. And I

49
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:10,920
Speaker 1: think that's kind of what they're defending. Now to your concern, Betsy,

50
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:13,600
Speaker 1: I think that you're you're right in saying that that

51
00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:16,560
Speaker 1: people should understand the fullness of what's going on. We've

52
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:19,000
Speaker 1: said on the show many times that the term Jesus

53
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:21,720
Speaker 1: loves you means nothing unless you know who Jesus is,

54
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:25,480
Speaker 1: what love is, and who you are. So yes, the

55
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:30,359
Speaker 1: defining the principles and why why the Nativity scene would

56
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:33,600
Speaker 1: be important at all would be a wonderful thing. Sometimes

57
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:41,000
Speaker 1: in battle, words become abbreviated because it's the focus is

58
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:44,960
Speaker 1: to those people to save the Nativity scene for what

59
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:48,160
Speaker 1: it stands for. But ultimately, if you don't stand, if

60
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:51,960
Speaker 1: you don't save what's what it stands for, then the

61
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 1: Nativity scene means nothing, and people get lost in that,

62
00:03:55,680 --> 00:04:00,720
Speaker 1: and and really it's kind of just an understanding that

63
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:04,520
Speaker 1: there would be no death in resurrection if I hadn't

64
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:08,000
Speaker 1: been born, And so to celebrate the beginning and all

65
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:11,040
Speaker 1: parts of it. If you understand God and his fullness,

66
00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:14,800
Speaker 1: God is a god of beginning, middle, and end. Most

67
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:17,760
Speaker 1: certainly a god of gaseimone, Calvary and the empty tomb.

68
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:22,560
Speaker 1: All three are important. And so that time spent in

69
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:26,160
Speaker 1: the garden was important, the time on the cross was important,

70
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:30,960
Speaker 1: and the time of resurrection obviously ultimately important. But each

71
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:33,599
Speaker 1: part is talked about in scripture because they all play

72
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:36,919
Speaker 1: an importance to the entirety of the story, and that

73
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:41,080
Speaker 1: can't be lost either. So you see the balance of

74
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:44,440
Speaker 1: those two things. That some people are fighting for something

75
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:48,320
Speaker 1: in its infant stage because of what it means in

76
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:50,880
Speaker 1: its fullness, and I can see where you like to

77
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:54,400
Speaker 1: hear the entirety of it, and that this word is important.

78
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:57,480
Speaker 1: That Christ is a powerful statement because it's talking about

79
00:04:57,520 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 1: the anointed one of God. But I think that's certain

80
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:03,880
Speaker 1: in there, in what they're fighting for and what they're defending.

81
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:06,800
Speaker 1: You know, I've said this before that this time of

82
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:11,200
Speaker 1: year brings out a lot of that that quarreling, it

83
00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:13,479
Speaker 1: brings out a lot of the fights, and you know,

84
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:16,800
Speaker 1: the atheists will put up some sign about how I

85
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:20,480
Speaker 1: didn't exist or something silly like that, and and the

86
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:23,960
Speaker 1: theists and the Christians come out of their churches and

87
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:27,000
Speaker 1: put up billboards and signs. Then you hear about people

88
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:34,120
Speaker 1: fighting for Nativity scenes, and really, ultimately that the what

89
00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:38,640
Speaker 1: those Nativity scenes stand for really is the most important.

90
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:45,760
Speaker 1: Absolutely that if it wasn't for the birth, death and resurrection,

91
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:50,200
Speaker 1: then all of Christianity is for not And to defend

92
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:54,120
Speaker 1: that's a wonderful thing. But symbols and symbolism and we

93
00:05:54,160 --> 00:06:00,400
Speaker 1: want our our particular belief system represented is really more

94
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:05,320
Speaker 1: about culture than it is about faith. Faith cannot be

95
00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:11,279
Speaker 1: dictated by any government, especially Christianity, because of the fact

96
00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:14,640
Speaker 1: that it can be practiced in your heart and that

97
00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:17,359
Speaker 1: you want to be able to worship as you please,

98
00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:21,560
Speaker 1: most certainly in the United States. But the concept of

99
00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:25,080
Speaker 1: who God is never changes no matter what anybody says.

100
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:28,960
Speaker 1: And you can put up a Nativity scene and you

101
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:33,280
Speaker 1: know it won't necessarily help anybody, and you could take

102
00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:36,360
Speaker 1: it down. I won't necessarily hurt anybody. The important thing

103
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:38,040
Speaker 1: is that Christians are living in a way that other

104
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:41,520
Speaker 1: people can see and experience in a very very real way.

105
00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:43,680
Speaker 1: Otherwise you just see people that are fighting for their

106
00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:48,760
Speaker 1: cultural likes or dislikes or there once, and it gets

107
00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:53,640
Speaker 1: lost in that. So as this holiday tends to bring

108
00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:56,719
Speaker 1: out those people defending the Nativity, which I think is fine,

109
00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:01,120
Speaker 1: just keep in mind that the Nativity is just a thing.

110
00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:04,480
Speaker 1: It's the setting up of this display is just a

111
00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:08,640
Speaker 1: thing that really the value of it lies in the

112
00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:13,680
Speaker 1: life changing power of the death and resurrection. That that's

113
00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:16,000
Speaker 1: where the power lies. That's where what it's all about,

114
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:18,360
Speaker 1: and that's what Christmas is all about. I know everybody

115
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:21,560
Speaker 1: focuses on that on Easter, but really Christmas is just

116
00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:24,200
Speaker 1: as much about that. It's about the beginning, the nescient

117
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:29,120
Speaker 1: stages of Christianity and the importance and the power of

118
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:34,120
Speaker 1: the things to come. Cheryl, Welcome to Jesus Christ Show.

119
00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:35,680
Speaker 3: Happy Birthday.

120
00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:36,520
Speaker 1: Well thank you.

121
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:43,200
Speaker 2: My cat had died two weeks ago and I was

122
00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:47,440
Speaker 2: wondering if cats or animals have souls they go to

123
00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:47,840
Speaker 2: the heaven.

124
00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:51,560
Speaker 1: Animals do not have souls the way humans have souls.

125
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:54,480
Speaker 1: So when you say that, you you know theologically you

126
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:57,480
Speaker 1: say you have a soul. If you imagine it this way,

127
00:07:58,160 --> 00:07:59,560
Speaker 1: I would have had to have come and died on

128
00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:01,960
Speaker 1: the cross, as you know, as a dog, as a cat,

129
00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:06,080
Speaker 1: as all of these things to cover all of those affected.

130
00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:11,040
Speaker 1: Animals are instinctual. They don't deal with morals. They react

131
00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:15,160
Speaker 1: instinctually based on self preservation and things like that, and

132
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:17,840
Speaker 1: not based on moral right and wrong. So it's a

133
00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:20,400
Speaker 1: different situation. So there are some theologians that would say,

134
00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:24,600
Speaker 1: no cat, there's no you know, cats and dogs in heaven.

135
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:28,680
Speaker 1: But scripture doesn't necessarily say that. Scripture doesn't say that

136
00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:31,400
Speaker 1: that animals are redeemed through the blood on the cross,

137
00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:35,280
Speaker 1: but it doesn't say anything about the heaven being absent

138
00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:41,319
Speaker 1: of any animals. So one could say theologically that your

139
00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:43,440
Speaker 1: animal could be in heaven, but not in the same

140
00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:45,880
Speaker 1: way that you would go to heaven based on your

141
00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:52,080
Speaker 1: relationship with God. So don't give up hope and just

142
00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:55,400
Speaker 1: know and trust this that Scripture is very clear that

143
00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:59,240
Speaker 1: there will be no tears in heaven and there's not

144
00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:02,040
Speaker 1: going to be any that that feeling of loss or

145
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:06,440
Speaker 1: absence or any of those things. So be confident that

146
00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:10,800
Speaker 1: there's no reason to think that that your animal couldn't

147
00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:16,240
Speaker 1: be there. But also if someone or an animal is missing.

148
00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:19,000
Speaker 1: It's not like you'd be disappointed that. Yeah, it's really

149
00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:21,240
Speaker 1: great to be in the presence of God, but I

150
00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:25,440
Speaker 1: wish fill in the blank was here. That's just not

151
00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:29,280
Speaker 1: the way it'll work. There's uh, you're going to be

152
00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:33,000
Speaker 1: standing in the presence of the glory of God. You'll

153
00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:42,840
Speaker 1: you'll be fine. You will be absolutely positively fine. Derek,

154
00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:44,320
Speaker 1: welcome to the Jesus Christ Show.

155
00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:47,160
Speaker 4: Oh, thank you very much. I don't want to say

156
00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:50,240
Speaker 4: it's an honor and it's a pleasure. I consider myself

157
00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:54,959
Speaker 4: a borderline Christian of non denomination only because well, I

158
00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:56,400
Speaker 4: think I said too much.

159
00:09:56,960 --> 00:09:59,960
Speaker 1: Hey, so border a border borderline Christian.

160
00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:03,320
Speaker 4: Well, yeah, I'm not the Christian I wish I could be.

161
00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:07,320
Speaker 1: Well, I think that stands for most Christians as a

162
00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:12,040
Speaker 1: work in progress. Of course, there's more to be done.

163
00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:14,720
Speaker 1: Hopefully you're not in a state of rebellion where you

164
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:15,800
Speaker 1: just do anything you want.

165
00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:18,760
Speaker 4: No, not at all. Okay, high standard of morals?

166
00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:20,520
Speaker 1: Okay, good? Well, how can I help you?

167
00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:25,160
Speaker 4: Well, I've been toiled. I have a question regarding trees,

168
00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:30,400
Speaker 4: Christmas trees and Santa specifically. Let's see, to my knowledge,

169
00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:35,120
Speaker 4: Christmas trees is an ancient pagan tradition, let's see, and

170
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:39,280
Speaker 4: the shiny bulbs represent the ancient sun god bow. So

171
00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:41,480
Speaker 4: for that reason, I don't bring him in my house

172
00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:45,400
Speaker 4: on Christmas. And the word Santa actually can be crossed.

173
00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:47,640
Speaker 4: You can put the two words, oh, don't.

174
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:52,959
Speaker 1: Say, don't say satan. Yeah, oh my goodness, really well, God,

175
00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:55,720
Speaker 1: God could spell dog if you put it in a mirror.

176
00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:58,360
Speaker 1: What was that? God spells dog if you look at

177
00:10:58,360 --> 00:10:59,079
Speaker 1: it in the mirror.

178
00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:02,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, but that's too much of a coincidence. Don't you

179
00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:04,040
Speaker 4: think you can put the two words side by side

180
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:05,839
Speaker 4: and draw a line to each letter.

181
00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:08,840
Speaker 1: No, because you're dealing words. Here's the thing when it

182
00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:10,719
Speaker 1: comes to words, and I know there's a lot of

183
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:13,120
Speaker 1: people get caught up in these things and all this

184
00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:15,360
Speaker 1: word and numbers too, and they get caught like a

185
00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:18,720
Speaker 1: lot of people are superstitious about six six six, when

186
00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:22,560
Speaker 1: in all honesty, it's not really the number of the beast.

187
00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:26,959
Speaker 1: So there's people get caught up in numbers and words.

188
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:32,920
Speaker 1: But really, satan is is not the technical term for

189
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:36,800
Speaker 1: Satan anymore than Santa is the technical term for Saint Nick.

190
00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:40,199
Speaker 1: So there's it depends what you're looking at. It's kind

191
00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:45,080
Speaker 1: of far fetching. Yeah, way, there's many names. You've got

192
00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:49,120
Speaker 1: the Devil, You've got Satan, You've got Lucifer, You've got Beelzebub,

193
00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:52,320
Speaker 1: the Father of darkness, the Prince of darkness. You've got

194
00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:56,720
Speaker 1: all kinds of names. So really you start nitpicking at

195
00:11:56,760 --> 00:11:58,880
Speaker 1: that point. As far as the tree goes, it's not

196
00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:01,040
Speaker 1: about what the Pagans you used it for. It's what

197
00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:05,000
Speaker 1: you used it for. Hitler was a vegetarian because he

198
00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:08,120
Speaker 1: had stomach issues. That doesn't mean that anybody who's a

199
00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:14,440
Speaker 1: vegetarian is somehow a Nazi. So just because trees have

200
00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:20,360
Speaker 1: been used, the fact that Christmas comes is celebrated during

201
00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:24,480
Speaker 1: a time when it wasn't. My birthday wasn't in December.

202
00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:31,840
Speaker 1: I have more on this, don't go anywhere. We were

203
00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:36,679
Speaker 1: chatting with Derek about some of the seemingly pagan attributes

204
00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:41,440
Speaker 1: of Christmas, with Santa Claus and a tree and the

205
00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:44,720
Speaker 1: glass bulbs and all of these things, and Derek you

206
00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:49,000
Speaker 1: were saying that you know, Santa and Satan are so close,

207
00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:54,079
Speaker 1: but really it's you can't start comparing different words like that, because.

208
00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:57,959
Speaker 4: But Jesus is not just the word you're looking.

209
00:12:57,720 --> 00:13:00,520
Speaker 1: For an excuse to find a devil under the now,

210
00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:02,240
Speaker 1: I will ask you, are you married?

211
00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:03,320
Speaker 4: No, I'm not.

212
00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:07,400
Speaker 1: Okay. Do you have you seen the ring that is

213
00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:10,280
Speaker 1: bestowed upon the man and woman when they get married.

214
00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:10,640
Speaker 2: Yes.

215
00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:14,480
Speaker 1: Do you think that that's a problem to wear rings? No?

216
00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:18,400
Speaker 4: Actually I don't. Being a bachelor, I'd never had.

217
00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:23,239
Speaker 1: It's not a problem for you. But rings come from paganism.

218
00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:26,880
Speaker 1: There's a lot that comes from paganism. There's many festivals

219
00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:31,959
Speaker 1: and feasts that Christians still celebrate today. Even the seasons

220
00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:38,160
Speaker 1: were based on paganistic feasts and a like. So if

221
00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:42,199
Speaker 1: you start weeding out everything because they had a pagan background,

222
00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:45,880
Speaker 1: there's a lot more in your life that are going

223
00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:49,559
Speaker 1: to be weeded out than you think. So making that tie.

224
00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:53,840
Speaker 1: People don't bring trees in. Kids don't go, oh mommy, daddy,

225
00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:56,000
Speaker 1: can we get the pagan tree in the house this year?

226
00:13:56,240 --> 00:14:01,280
Speaker 1: They just don't. So it seems like a fight. That's moot.

227
00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:05,679
Speaker 1: You're you're not fighting something real. It's it doesn't exist

228
00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:09,559
Speaker 1: anymore in that sense. If anything, Christians have co opted

229
00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:12,600
Speaker 1: these things and are using them for their own desire.

230
00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:15,640
Speaker 1: If they're commercialized, you don't have to use them or

231
00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:18,320
Speaker 1: what have you, But they're not. They don't have the

232
00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:19,680
Speaker 1: pagan attributes anymore.

233
00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:23,080
Speaker 4: To the believer, I see, it seems more Satan than

234
00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:23,680
Speaker 4: the trees.

235
00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:26,360
Speaker 1: Jesus is the concern that bright.

236
00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:30,080
Speaker 4: Red children only think of him and getting what they

237
00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:33,320
Speaker 4: can get for Christmas. They don't think of Christ's birthday.

238
00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:35,600
Speaker 1: Okay, but but what where do you get red in

239
00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:36,080
Speaker 1: the devil?

240
00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:38,720
Speaker 4: Everything I've ever seen that?

241
00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:43,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly, So you're talking about so you're talking about

242
00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:47,720
Speaker 1: the the character of the devil that people have created. Yes,

243
00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:50,400
Speaker 1: the devil is not what it's not a guy in

244
00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:54,400
Speaker 1: red pajamas with a goatee and a pitchfork. Okay, that's

245
00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:57,680
Speaker 1: what man has drawn, you know, just like you see

246
00:14:57,720 --> 00:15:00,200
Speaker 1: every time you see Jesus. He's this this white guy

247
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:02,880
Speaker 1: with blue eyes. Do you think that's what I look like?

248
00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:05,920
Speaker 4: None?

249
00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:10,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, So that and even that is in context

250
00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:15,560
Speaker 1: of a second coming, so that that is in a

251
00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:18,600
Speaker 1: different state as well. So you you start putting these

252
00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:23,920
Speaker 1: things together and really you're reacting to uh kind of

253
00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:28,400
Speaker 1: caricatures that aren't real to begin with. Satan is real,

254
00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:32,320
Speaker 1: but he's not this guy who's red. That's man's depiction

255
00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:36,400
Speaker 1: of the devil because matter of fact, scripture says that, uh,

256
00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:39,880
Speaker 1: the devil masquerades is an angel of light, so real.

257
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:41,920
Speaker 1: So now you're not gonna have any angels of light

258
00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:45,480
Speaker 1: in the house because that's what Okay, okay, but you

259
00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:47,720
Speaker 1: see what I'm saying, where you're gonna start weeding these

260
00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:51,960
Speaker 1: things out and getting concerned based on you know, oh,

261
00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:54,080
Speaker 1: well this and that, and you're gonna be chasing the

262
00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:56,120
Speaker 1: devil and that's what he wants you to. He wants

263
00:15:56,200 --> 00:16:00,000
Speaker 1: he wants you to just strip your life of everything.

264
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:00,240
Speaker 2: Thing.

265
00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:04,240
Speaker 1: So you're sitting there naked and then go, well, God,

266
00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:07,720
Speaker 1: why do you have me here sitting naked? Don't don't

267
00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:10,520
Speaker 1: look for the devil. He'll find you, trust me. Look

268
00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:14,120
Speaker 1: for God. Focus on God. The tree is just a

269
00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:19,000
Speaker 1: tree with ornaments on it that in your home should

270
00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:22,160
Speaker 1: be reminding you of God. If you don't want to

271
00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:24,680
Speaker 1: bring it in there, fine, but don't use the excuse

272
00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:26,400
Speaker 1: of paganism for goodness sake.

273
00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:28,880
Speaker 4: I see, thanks for clearing that up.

274
00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:35,040
Speaker 1: You're welcome. The devil under every stone gets to be,

275
00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:38,480
Speaker 1: gets to be a little much if you if you

276
00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:43,040
Speaker 1: want to, you know, have guidelines. There was I remember

277
00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:47,680
Speaker 1: a conversation on radio listening in and somebody was talking

278
00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:52,440
Speaker 1: about how they wouldn't buy a VW because the original

279
00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:57,600
Speaker 1: VW bug or something therein was designed by Nazis or

280
00:16:57,640 --> 00:17:02,720
Speaker 1: by Hitler himself and UH VW has nothing to do

281
00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:10,560
Speaker 1: with Nazi Germany anymore, nothing. And the person said, well,

282
00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:15,600
Speaker 1: I just won't buy a car that's built by someone

283
00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:20,320
Speaker 1: who was an enemy of the United States. And and

284
00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:22,840
Speaker 1: when he was asked what he drove, he drove drove

285
00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:29,680
Speaker 1: a Japanese car, which at one point the Japanese were

286
00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:32,280
Speaker 1: in conflict with the United States. So you start getting

287
00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:35,520
Speaker 1: in this place where you start putting these these moral

288
00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:39,000
Speaker 1: markers in your life, and you'll find out that really

289
00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:44,720
Speaker 1: there is a lot Even the very concept of the environment,

290
00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:49,280
Speaker 1: uh it comes from and loving the environment. Protecting the

291
00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:52,359
Speaker 1: environment is a very pagan concept. You wouldn't say that

292
00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:58,119
Speaker 1: it was bad. Many things, clothing and uh food, the

293
00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:00,520
Speaker 1: way you eat it, in the preparation and all kinds

294
00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:03,199
Speaker 1: of things can be tied back to pagan So be

295
00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:05,840
Speaker 1: careful when you just get on that rant, because you

296
00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:08,639
Speaker 1: might end up editing a lot more out of your

297
00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:11,639
Speaker 1: life than you think. And it doesn't glorify God. All

298
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:14,960
Speaker 1: is made by God all is to be enjoyed, it

299
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:17,720
Speaker 1: says in Timothy. Let no man try and take food

300
00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:20,600
Speaker 1: or certain things from you based on festivals or whether

301
00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:25,200
Speaker 1: they were you know, slaughtered for a pagan god. It's

302
00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:27,679
Speaker 1: about what you worship and who you believe they are

303
00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:34,720
Speaker 1: for that's important. Hi, Dorothy, welcome to the Jesus Christ Show.

304
00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:37,119
Speaker 3: Hi, thank you very much.

305
00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:38,760
Speaker 1: My pleasure. What's going on?

306
00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:42,359
Speaker 3: I was my husband died in July.

307
00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:44,479
Speaker 1: Oh, I'm sorry to hear that, Dorothy.

308
00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:48,399
Speaker 3: Thank you. Yeah, kind of an astra life question, okay,

309
00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:52,000
Speaker 3: but I came across Randy Alkaline's books and I've been

310
00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:55,280
Speaker 3: digging through those and the realizing I hadn't realized a

311
00:18:55,280 --> 00:19:00,320
Speaker 3: bottom heaven in real terms, and also the fact that mhm,

312
00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:07,800
Speaker 3: I can't imagine our relationship in heaven without all of

313
00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:12,240
Speaker 3: the the angst of human life and interactions that seem

314
00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:14,879
Speaker 3: to build over the years of relationship.

315
00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:18,000
Speaker 1: Are you saying, what are you going to? What are

316
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:19,439
Speaker 1: you going to do in heaven if you can't bicker

317
00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:20,119
Speaker 1: with your husband?

318
00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:22,879
Speaker 2: Yeah?

319
00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:25,439
Speaker 3: And to really to really know the person you know

320
00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:29,000
Speaker 3: without the he has the assistance, abuse problems and stuff,

321
00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:32,520
Speaker 3: so you know, to really know someone without all that

322
00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:37,199
Speaker 3: it's just going to be amazing. And actually to have

323
00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:43,199
Speaker 3: myself in the non critical state also absolutely makes me

324
00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:45,919
Speaker 3: think about these things in real terms, that we have

325
00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:46,879
Speaker 3: a lot to look forward to.

326
00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:51,639
Speaker 1: Well, if you could imagine that, you know, when you

327
00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:54,840
Speaker 1: see something newly minted or something so brand new it's

328
00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:58,199
Speaker 1: never been touched, or or any of those privations that

329
00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:01,560
Speaker 1: happen in life. Yes there's something and that still is

330
00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:05,760
Speaker 1: imperfect because it's you know, here on earth. But to

331
00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:08,480
Speaker 1: think that the things that you know about someone and

332
00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:11,399
Speaker 1: the things you experience with someone over a lifetime is

333
00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:15,760
Speaker 1: really their imperfections as well. But though and so it

334
00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:19,679
Speaker 1: is an interesting thought to think, well, how are you

335
00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:22,359
Speaker 1: going to recognize somebody when their faults are gone? And

336
00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:25,920
Speaker 1: really you're going to be looking at all those things.

337
00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:28,879
Speaker 1: The things that compelled you to someone was not the

338
00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:30,760
Speaker 1: problems in who they are, but the way they dealt

339
00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:34,120
Speaker 1: with them and the dealing with them and the way

340
00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:36,320
Speaker 1: they work through problems, or their sense of humor or

341
00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:38,800
Speaker 1: any of these things are really coming from that perfect

342
00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:41,560
Speaker 1: place and not the privation the absence of the things

343
00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:44,200
Speaker 1: that were designed by God that should be there. And

344
00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:48,800
Speaker 1: so you will you're going to see a more concentrated,

345
00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:53,080
Speaker 1: purified version of that individual, which is what truly compelled

346
00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:55,520
Speaker 1: you to them in the first place. It's just not

347
00:20:55,640 --> 00:20:57,720
Speaker 1: something that you have an example of on earth. There's

348
00:20:57,760 --> 00:21:00,199
Speaker 1: just not something you can put it against and say, oh,

349
00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:02,919
Speaker 1: it's going to look, feel, taste like this, because it

350
00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:05,639
Speaker 1: just doesn't exist in this place. This world is filled

351
00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:10,040
Speaker 1: with a lot of pollution, emotionally, spiritually, physically, and those

352
00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:14,520
Speaker 1: things skew and change the appearance of things, but not

353
00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:18,600
Speaker 1: the not the essence. The essence of your husband is

354
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:21,920
Speaker 1: as well as your essence will be exactly the same.

355
00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:24,840
Speaker 1: It's all the luggage and the garbage that has been

356
00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:29,040
Speaker 1: in the pollution that's been piled up over the years

357
00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:35,480
Speaker 1: by you guys and by you know, your lineage, that

358
00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:38,439
Speaker 1: that you see here. But trust me, it's it won't

359
00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:41,520
Speaker 1: be a disappointment, No, not at all.

360
00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:44,639
Speaker 3: How it can live better in this life with that

361
00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:48,119
Speaker 3: kind of attitude without double.

362
00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:53,800
Speaker 1: Nature, Well, that's the that's the honing process. That's the

363
00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:56,679
Speaker 1: you know, just as metal is heated and heated and

364
00:21:56,720 --> 00:21:58,720
Speaker 1: then the draws is scraped from the top and it's

365
00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:02,879
Speaker 1: heated again, that's a process. You know, it's easy to

366
00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:06,000
Speaker 1: get confused with Christianity and think, well, Christ died on

367
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:08,560
Speaker 1: the cross, here, I paid for your sins. My blood's there,

368
00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:10,720
Speaker 1: and then it's all over. Well, that's not the case.

369
00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:13,440
Speaker 1: There is a pure it's all over as far as

370
00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:16,520
Speaker 1: the payment being made, But the learning process still has

371
00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:19,159
Speaker 1: to be there by definition because it has It's like patience.

372
00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:22,439
Speaker 1: You can't give someone patience, they have to earn it

373
00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:26,560
Speaker 1: and uh, and so there is still learning that needs

374
00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:30,080
Speaker 1: to be done. You're just not earning salvation and so

375
00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:33,320
Speaker 1: you know, so this process in life is part of

376
00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:38,520
Speaker 1: purifying and honing and growing and learning and uh and

377
00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:43,639
Speaker 1: then experiencing that perfection and that a whole different expression

378
00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:44,399
Speaker 1: when you're in heaven.

379
00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:50,280
Speaker 3: Something to look forward to there is, Yeah, it is

380
00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:51,320
Speaker 3: a great thing.

381
00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:54,840
Speaker 1: And you're holding together well with your husband's loss. You

382
00:22:54,880 --> 00:22:55,679
Speaker 1: sound very strong.

383
00:22:56,760 --> 00:23:00,439
Speaker 3: Well, I'm thinking of all the positive. I'm really seeing

384
00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:04,800
Speaker 3: a huge gift that he was to me with our

385
00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:07,760
Speaker 3: children and with all of the adventures we went on together,

386
00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:12,600
Speaker 3: and his heart for God's heart for people, and through

387
00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:18,800
Speaker 3: all the struggles. He was really strong, strong, loving person

388
00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:24,080
Speaker 3: and gave us huge amounts of things to think back on.

389
00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:26,359
Speaker 3: And like we went all over the world together and

390
00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:28,800
Speaker 3: he wanted the kids to see the world and to

391
00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:31,639
Speaker 3: see the work of God around the world and stuff.

392
00:23:31,720 --> 00:23:34,320
Speaker 3: So we you know, he just had that adventures and

393
00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:37,280
Speaker 3: spirit as well as that giving and loving heart. And

394
00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:40,639
Speaker 3: we bring people into our lives from needy areas, and

395
00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:43,800
Speaker 3: we both had that same attitude of wanting to serve

396
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:48,840
Speaker 3: God and help people. Yeah, I have to think it's

397
00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:52,000
Speaker 3: a positism. I just I just realized that my whole

398
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:53,520
Speaker 3: life was kind of wrapped around a lot of the

399
00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:57,000
Speaker 3: negatives over the years. When we get so close to

400
00:23:57,040 --> 00:24:01,600
Speaker 3: the the issues of life, it's hard to speke a

401
00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:03,199
Speaker 3: bigger picture when you're in the midst of it.

402
00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:07,000
Speaker 1: You know, dying is it's the last act that's done

403
00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:13,320
Speaker 1: on this planet and oftentimes ungraceful, unpleasant, and all the

404
00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:15,560
Speaker 1: ugliness that goes with it. Yet it's the one thing

405
00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:17,359
Speaker 1: that those that are left on this planet tend to

406
00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:21,360
Speaker 1: focus on when someone leaves and so and that saddens

407
00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:23,320
Speaker 1: me that a whole life was lived with all the

408
00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:25,760
Speaker 1: beauty and all of the things that you just described

409
00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:30,560
Speaker 1: so perfectly. That it's okay to have a time of morning,

410
00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:33,720
Speaker 1: of course, but then to make make somebody's entire life.

411
00:24:33,760 --> 00:24:39,160
Speaker 1: Their death it just it's it really reduces the beauty

412
00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:41,600
Speaker 1: of the individual. And so I like, I like to

413
00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:44,960
Speaker 1: remind people that if you're still living, that you're kind

414
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:47,520
Speaker 1: of the curator of the museum of the of the

415
00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:50,359
Speaker 1: person who's passed. And that's exactly what you described to

416
00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:52,400
Speaker 1: me right now. All the different things that that you've

417
00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:55,080
Speaker 1: seen and experienced, and that you've passed those along to

418
00:24:55,119 --> 00:24:57,919
Speaker 1: other people is a beautiful way to keep such an

419
00:24:57,960 --> 00:25:03,359
Speaker 1: amazing life alive and understood and fragrant and real, rather

420
00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:06,400
Speaker 1: than you know, just summing it up as well, this

421
00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:09,399
Speaker 1: person lived this long and then they died, and this

422
00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:12,000
Speaker 1: is how they died, and now we're alone. And then that,

423
00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:16,159
Speaker 1: to me, so cheapens the beauty of life when it

424
00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:21,600
Speaker 1: goes beyond the normal realm of mourning and sadness for

425
00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:24,080
Speaker 1: a loss, of course, But when you get to that

426
00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:27,320
Speaker 1: point where you reduce them to just their death is

427
00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:30,800
Speaker 1: when they truly die. So, Dorothy, I keep doing what

428
00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:34,520
Speaker 1: you're doing. You absolutely have inspired people, trust me, that

429
00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:40,040
Speaker 1: are listening to your voice today. This time of year

430
00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:43,720
Speaker 1: brings up a lot of different emotions and it's very

431
00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:49,359
Speaker 1: easy to get caught up in that all and pulling

432
00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:53,520
Speaker 1: between family members, the loss of family members, the loss

433
00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:57,760
Speaker 1: of a job and pain that goes with it, and

434
00:25:57,840 --> 00:26:02,439
Speaker 1: really about standing tall in the midst of it is

435
00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:06,480
Speaker 1: really what shows others what you're made of. As I

436
00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:11,600
Speaker 1: said earlier, Christianity does not solve your problems. It helps

437
00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:16,560
Speaker 1: you deal with them, which is much different, and others

438
00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:19,440
Speaker 1: see that from the big to the small, the little

439
00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:22,520
Speaker 1: things that you do in life that show that you care.

440
00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:27,840
Speaker 1: We talk often about returning the grocery cart to where

441
00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:32,119
Speaker 1: the grocery carts should be returned, small things that people

442
00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:36,199
Speaker 1: see that you care, or that there's importance to the

443
00:26:36,200 --> 00:26:39,200
Speaker 1: finest details, to very large things. When you lose somebody

444
00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:44,720
Speaker 1: in your life and you see that there is that

445
00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:47,879
Speaker 1: that belief, that faith that there's more out there is

446
00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:51,040
Speaker 1: now in practice, and now that belief becomes so real

447
00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:55,960
Speaker 1: because you're looking saying, hey, now I have to trust God.

448
00:26:56,359 --> 00:26:58,320
Speaker 1: I have to trust that there is a God, there

449
00:26:58,359 --> 00:27:00,960
Speaker 1: is a heaven, and that we will be together again

450
00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:07,840
Speaker 1: and let people see that in a very very real way.

451
00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:13,400
Speaker 1: And others might miss that at times. And so that's

452
00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:16,160
Speaker 1: part of who you are and what you're called called

453
00:27:16,160 --> 00:27:21,399
Speaker 1: to do on this planet in this lifetime is to

454
00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:25,159
Speaker 1: be that example for others so they can come to

455
00:27:25,600 --> 00:27:30,760
Speaker 1: a real, true meaning of faith. I know a lot

456
00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:33,359
Speaker 1: of people just to go around and try and force

457
00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:38,200
Speaker 1: their beliefs on others. But as a believer, you shouldn't

458
00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:41,000
Speaker 1: be doing that. You should be living in a way

459
00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:47,680
Speaker 1: that compels them. Nobody's forced to eat chocolate cake. They

460
00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:56,080
Speaker 1: understand it's deliciousness by design. And so when you live

461
00:27:56,080 --> 00:27:58,840
Speaker 1: in a way that compels people to want to know

462
00:27:58,880 --> 00:28:01,040
Speaker 1: more about you and which you believe, and that's when

463
00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:05,600
Speaker 1: it becomes real and that's when it sticks with somebody,

464
00:28:05,840 --> 00:28:08,320
Speaker 1: is because they choose it, they want to know more

465

468
