1 00:00:11,240 --> 00:00:14,720 Speaker 1: What's up, everybody, Welcome back to the podcast. On this podcast, 2 00:00:14,760 --> 00:00:18,080 Speaker 1: I answer your questions you email me podcast at grangersmith 3 00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:20,599 Speaker 1: dot com, and we walk through it like we're just 4 00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:27,360 Speaker 1: having a conversation, and the conversation could really be about anything, life, love, 5 00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:31,840 Speaker 1: the Bible. Ask me anything, and I'm going to answer 6 00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:35,600 Speaker 1: it like we're friends and we're trying to talk through something. 7 00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:39,720 Speaker 1: That's always what this podcast has been and what I'm 8 00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:42,080 Speaker 1: doing now for the second week in a row is 9 00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:46,880 Speaker 1: I'm taking a collection of the most popular questions that 10 00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:51,000 Speaker 1: gets asked on this podcast all of the time. Instead 11 00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:54,600 Speaker 1: of answering them individually over and over again, I'm gonna 12 00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:58,000 Speaker 1: for the second like last week was Eschatology, it was 13 00:00:58,040 --> 00:00:59,920 Speaker 1: like the End of Times. I get that. I get 14 00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:01,520 Speaker 1: asked that all the time, so I thought I would 15 00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:05,640 Speaker 1: just react to a few videos and give you my 16 00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:08,839 Speaker 1: thoughts on the end of Times. This week, I'm gonna 17 00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:10,640 Speaker 1: do something similar. I'm going to answer a question that 18 00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:15,720 Speaker 1: comes in all the time, and that is should Christians cuss? 19 00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:20,399 Speaker 1: I get that quite a bit, and I think probably 20 00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:22,480 Speaker 1: that there's a good reason I get that quite a bit, 21 00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:26,560 Speaker 1: and probably because if you go back over the last 22 00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:30,520 Speaker 1: decade or more two decades of my music, you hear 23 00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:34,119 Speaker 1: curse words in there, and it's like, hey, Granger, now 24 00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:38,479 Speaker 1: here you are all into the Bible, is it okay 25 00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:41,640 Speaker 1: for Christians to cuss or to listen to songs with 26 00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:44,000 Speaker 1: curse words in them? So, you know what, I think 27 00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:46,520 Speaker 1: that's a great question, And because I get it all 28 00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:50,120 Speaker 1: the time, I'm probably not going to answer every individual 29 00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:52,920 Speaker 1: one because they're all pretty much just like I just said. 30 00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:56,360 Speaker 1: So instead, let's use this episode and let's walk through 31 00:01:56,360 --> 00:02:00,680 Speaker 1: that question. And ant Man has now put together a 32 00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:03,240 Speaker 1: few videos. I think we have two videos here, so 33 00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:08,120 Speaker 1: I'll start with this. I'll watch these videos a little bit, pause, react, 34 00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:12,000 Speaker 1: and use that as kind of a platform to discuss 35 00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:15,280 Speaker 1: this topic with and then I'll give you my own 36 00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:18,760 Speaker 1: opinion after we walk through these videos. So this is 37 00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:21,480 Speaker 1: the first one. Let's hit play. 38 00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:23,919 Speaker 2: I actually I have a question for you, and I'm 39 00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:25,920 Speaker 2: just really curious your opinion on it. What do you 40 00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:30,680 Speaker 2: think about cussing? Yeah, but it'll take on it. 41 00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:31,000 Speaker 3: Yeah. 42 00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:33,520 Speaker 4: So the reason why it doesn't affect my heart too 43 00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:39,320 Speaker 4: much is because I know my God doesn't judge like 44 00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:42,000 Speaker 4: swearing like that, and it minds you like yes, I do. 45 00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:44,360 Speaker 3: I have to change now. Okay, let me rephrase this. 46 00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:46,480 Speaker 4: I have to change now because God put me in 47 00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:49,400 Speaker 4: a place for me to be speaking, and I'm realizing 48 00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:51,280 Speaker 4: that I have to be better and more diligent with 49 00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:53,200 Speaker 4: my tongue because if I'm not that, I'm showing that 50 00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:56,640 Speaker 4: I'm not disciplined. Therefore, it gives room for the devil 51 00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:59,880 Speaker 4: to come and just move my tongue in his direction. 52 00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:02,760 Speaker 1: I'm gonna pause here and I'm just gonna say that 53 00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:08,480 Speaker 1: I will definitely address this idea of God judging or 54 00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:10,800 Speaker 1: other people judging. Well, we'll deal with that. But I'm 55 00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:12,919 Speaker 1: gonna I'm gonna wait a little bit longer. I'll keep 56 00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:15,160 Speaker 1: seeing what He's got to say here. 57 00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:17,880 Speaker 3: So, yes, I have to be obedient on the tongue. 58 00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:21,440 Speaker 4: Now when I swear, if I say, I'll just say 59 00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:24,440 Speaker 4: if I say both like to me, I don't see 60 00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:27,040 Speaker 4: my God looking at me in the same way that 61 00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:29,639 Speaker 4: other people think my God is looking at me. Because 62 00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:32,440 Speaker 4: in the scripture says do not curse your neighbor. Now, 63 00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:35,960 Speaker 4: cursing isn't like like F this, f that, because an 64 00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:38,800 Speaker 4: effort here can mean something in a different language. Right, 65 00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:41,520 Speaker 4: it's your intent on how you're using it. I think 66 00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:43,840 Speaker 4: there's a difference even with my own child. If I'm 67 00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:46,360 Speaker 4: looking at my child and he stubs his toe as 68 00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:48,760 Speaker 4: like a four year old, oh like that to me, 69 00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:52,160 Speaker 4: I'm laughing like, oh, like, you shouldn't say that, versus 70 00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:53,960 Speaker 4: my son out in the street being like I'm gonna 71 00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:55,880 Speaker 4: few up and I'm gonna blah blah blah somebody. 72 00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:59,200 Speaker 3: I'm like, whoa, that's gonna come with some repercussions. My man, Like, 73 00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:00,280 Speaker 3: you can't talk like that. 74 00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:03,680 Speaker 1: So I think, let me stop it right here. So 75 00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:06,160 Speaker 1: what we're going to deal with eventually on this on 76 00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:11,880 Speaker 1: this episode as well, is that there's like sliver, there's 77 00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:14,160 Speaker 1: a sliver of agreement I have with him here, and 78 00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:18,360 Speaker 1: that is that Jesus is looking on the heart. In fact, 79 00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:22,040 Speaker 1: that's when he comes in and we see this profound 80 00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:25,560 Speaker 1: sermon on the Mount that we read in Matthew, and 81 00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:28,680 Speaker 1: when he starts, he starts talking to the Pharisees and 82 00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:32,400 Speaker 1: the religious people, and what he's doing is he's saying, 83 00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:35,280 Speaker 1: you think you're following the law, and you think you're 84 00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:40,200 Speaker 1: doing good by following the law. For instance, you think 85 00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:43,280 Speaker 1: you're doing good by not murdering somebody. But did you 86 00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:45,920 Speaker 1: know that you hate your brother and your heart and 87 00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:49,040 Speaker 1: you're murdering them. You think you're doing good bye, not 88 00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:51,880 Speaker 1: committing adultery. But did you know that you just look 89 00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:54,040 Speaker 1: at a woman with lust and you've committed adultery in 90 00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:56,680 Speaker 1: the heart. So Jesus is always after the heart, and 91 00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:59,560 Speaker 1: he's always saying, look, it's not what you do, it's 92 00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:03,680 Speaker 1: your heart posture towards it. So the reason Jesus was 93 00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:07,280 Speaker 1: doing this is to point out that we are a 94 00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:12,240 Speaker 1: lot more sinful, that we are a lot worse off 95 00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:14,680 Speaker 1: than we think we are on the outside just because 96 00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:16,880 Speaker 1: we act a certain way. Look how good I am looking. 97 00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:19,679 Speaker 1: I'm doing all the right things, I'm checking all the boxes. 98 00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:23,080 Speaker 1: And Jesus goes, uh, it's a lot worse than you think. 99 00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:26,400 Speaker 1: I'm looking at the heart. So in relation to this, 100 00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:30,760 Speaker 1: there's there's a sliver of truth in here that if I, 101 00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:34,080 Speaker 1: for instance, if I go up to a guy in Russia, right, 102 00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:37,440 Speaker 1: and I write out a four letter bad word in 103 00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:40,880 Speaker 1: English and I say, read this, and he's like he 104 00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:43,160 Speaker 1: doesn't know what it means, and he reads it. Oh, 105 00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:47,040 Speaker 1: it's not like, oh that's that's horrible. You just said 106 00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:49,359 Speaker 1: that word. Obviously he has no idea what the means. 107 00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:53,839 Speaker 1: So his heart posture is completely clean in that instance. 108 00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:58,320 Speaker 1: But but what this guy's saying, what George is saying, 109 00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:01,880 Speaker 1: is a little different than at he's actually saying the 110 00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:05,760 Speaker 1: words and saying there's a different context of saying the words. 111 00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:06,640 Speaker 1: Let's keep going here. 112 00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:10,080 Speaker 3: Saying is like, where's your intent with it? Like if like, 113 00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:11,760 Speaker 3: for example, if I'm talking to. 114 00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:17,280 Speaker 4: Some new Christians and they don't really get God, and 115 00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:20,720 Speaker 4: I'm talking to them about being perfect, and now I'm 116 00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:23,120 Speaker 4: watching them tune out. But then I go, but listen, 117 00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:25,320 Speaker 4: it's locking hard. And then they go, wait, what You're 118 00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:29,760 Speaker 4: like me, Oh, so you're not holier than that. You're 119 00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:35,240 Speaker 4: not perfect obviously now because you're swearing. Sometimes I use 120 00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:37,560 Speaker 4: it as a relatability, like I speak in their language. 121 00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:41,640 Speaker 4: It's hard to talk to somebody if you can't understand them, 122 00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:44,520 Speaker 4: and so I wasn't really too quick to fix my tongue. 123 00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:48,880 Speaker 1: I don't think that that's necessary. And if he's truly 124 00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:52,200 Speaker 1: saying like I'm doing whatever it takes to be relatable, 125 00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:56,320 Speaker 1: I don't think that's what he means. I think he's 126 00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:59,920 Speaker 1: just trying to be cool and fit in. And he 127 00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:02,200 Speaker 1: might have a good intention of why he wants to 128 00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:05,680 Speaker 1: fit in. But I think the better argument is if 129 00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:10,360 Speaker 1: you are. If you are so you're so zealous for 130 00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:15,160 Speaker 1: your God, and you're so obedient and yet joyful and 131 00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:19,840 Speaker 1: yet happy and yet understanding, and I think that's a 132 00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:23,400 Speaker 1: better way to be relatable. Then Man, I'm just like 133 00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:25,560 Speaker 1: a God, just like one of you guys, and I 134 00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:28,680 Speaker 1: also got this god thing going on. I don't think 135 00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:31,040 Speaker 1: that's as inspiring as he thinks it might be. 136 00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:34,200 Speaker 4: Let's continue here, because I tell people all the time 137 00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:35,600 Speaker 4: they look at me as a preacher. 138 00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:38,239 Speaker 3: I ain't no preacher, did I'm a man who fears 139 00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:39,080 Speaker 3: God and loves to talk. 140 00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:41,200 Speaker 1: Yes, you are. If you're speaking on a platform, you're 141 00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:41,600 Speaker 1: a preacher. 142 00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:44,320 Speaker 3: If you have a massive platform, yeah, if it takes 143 00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:46,200 Speaker 3: you in the direction of that, then that's great. 144 00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:48,240 Speaker 4: But to me, it's like my heart was like, I 145 00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:50,160 Speaker 4: like talking to people that don't know who God is 146 00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:53,080 Speaker 4: at all and like bringing them. I'm trying to be 147 00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:55,520 Speaker 4: a fisher of men, right, And I might talk like 148 00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:56,640 Speaker 4: a sailorman. 149 00:07:56,600 --> 00:08:02,560 Speaker 1: And that's don't do that. I wouldn't go there. That's 150 00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:07,080 Speaker 1: like a silly cultural analogy. Fishermen and sailors. You know, 151 00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:09,480 Speaker 1: they're both on water, and they should both be able 152 00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:12,200 Speaker 1: to cuss, right, Like I wouldn't go there swear. 153 00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:14,440 Speaker 3: Like if you listen to any sailor, they're like, oh, 154 00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:17,200 Speaker 3: he cusses like a sailor. Like this, This is the 155 00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:19,760 Speaker 3: men that Jesus chose. Like you think Peter was walking 156 00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:21,320 Speaker 3: around with no filthy mouth like he was. 157 00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:23,880 Speaker 4: It took him a bit. We don't know that to 158 00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:26,680 Speaker 4: like rein it in and be disciplined. I'm thirty one 159 00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:29,080 Speaker 4: years old and I just started. I guarantee you, when 160 00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:30,720 Speaker 4: I'm like forty, I'm probably not gonna be talking the 161 00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:31,640 Speaker 4: same way that I'm talking. 162 00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:36,439 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's an interesting argument. He realizes it's probably not helpful, 163 00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:40,079 Speaker 1: it's probably not encouraging, it's probably not uplifting. But I 164 00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:41,679 Speaker 1: still got to get it out of my system for 165 00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:44,120 Speaker 1: the next ten years or so, and then it'll probably 166 00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:47,280 Speaker 1: be totally out of my system. He knows the argument 167 00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:50,120 Speaker 1: that he's making, so he's already kind of feeling a change. 168 00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:53,200 Speaker 1: He's already kind of feeling a tug, and no one's 169 00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:55,880 Speaker 1: even talked to him about it. He's convincing himself already. 170 00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:57,679 Speaker 1: This is interesting. Let's keep going. 171 00:08:58,080 --> 00:08:58,680 Speaker 3: But it doesn't. 172 00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:00,680 Speaker 4: It doesn't make me toss and turn out night. There's 173 00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:02,160 Speaker 4: a lot of things that make me toss and turn 174 00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:06,560 Speaker 4: at night. That's just, honestly, just not one of them 175 00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:07,000 Speaker 4: from your now. 176 00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:08,760 Speaker 5: We used to make fun of the Christians. 177 00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:10,959 Speaker 2: We did, we made fun of We didn't come to 178 00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:11,520 Speaker 2: a whole. 179 00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:15,719 Speaker 6: Year than now Christian This we truly can't even say it. 180 00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:18,400 Speaker 2: It's been probably I don't know how long that I 181 00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:21,120 Speaker 2: can't get an effort out of my mouth. It physically 182 00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:22,240 Speaker 2: can't come out of my mouth. 183 00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:26,520 Speaker 4: And you know what, like she said something that made 184 00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:28,880 Speaker 4: it's gonna my wheels are going like crazy, let's go. 185 00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:34,760 Speaker 4: When you said it made me cringe, I never really 186 00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:37,880 Speaker 4: pictured making anybody cringe from my mouth. And if I'm 187 00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:41,440 Speaker 4: talking about God and I make them cringe, that's a problem. 188 00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:44,560 Speaker 2: I think of the scripture. Sorry, I just I think 189 00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:45,840 Speaker 2: of the scripture that's set. 190 00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:49,280 Speaker 1: So look at his face. Look at his face right 191 00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:51,800 Speaker 1: here where I paused it. I love how he said 192 00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:55,480 Speaker 1: the wheels are turning. And this is very interesting to 193 00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:59,160 Speaker 1: watch as he is I kind of recognized that as 194 00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:04,760 Speaker 1: he's kind of explaining his best way to justify while 195 00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:07,600 Speaker 1: he why he does speak like a sailor, like you said, 196 00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:12,000 Speaker 1: and then as that his own personal justification starts to 197 00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:14,360 Speaker 1: kind of crumble a little bit. Look at his face, 198 00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:16,600 Speaker 1: and I want to see where this goes. 199 00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:20,840 Speaker 2: I'm sorry, well, I just want to tell you one scripture. 200 00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:23,760 Speaker 2: It's I think it's in James. It's like, can fresh 201 00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:26,480 Speaker 2: water and salt water both flow out of the same spring? 202 00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:29,520 Speaker 2: How can you love God and curse anybody with the 203 00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:30,160 Speaker 2: same mouth. 204 00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:33,120 Speaker 4: I saw that as cursing a man, though even my 205 00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:34,880 Speaker 4: own enemies they don't even know, but I plant them 206 00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:37,280 Speaker 4: flowers in their fields rights justifying here. 207 00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:39,880 Speaker 2: So I was reading, so you know the moment where 208 00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:43,800 Speaker 2: Peter denies Jesus three times? Right, yeah, and I can 209 00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:46,079 Speaker 2: I can pull it up because I'm paraphrasing, but it 210 00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:49,120 Speaker 2: says something so three times people come up to him, 211 00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:50,800 Speaker 2: do you know Jesus, you were just with him? I 212 00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:53,439 Speaker 2: saw you with him. You're you're a Jew, like you 213 00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:56,120 Speaker 2: have to be with him? And he says three times, no, 214 00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:57,760 Speaker 2: I don't know him, No, I don't know him. The 215 00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:01,400 Speaker 2: third time he it says that he curses and says, 216 00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:03,600 Speaker 2: I do not know this man. So in the moment 217 00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:06,679 Speaker 2: where he was trying to separate himself from Jesus and 218 00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:11,160 Speaker 2: no longer identify as a follower of Jesus. He cursed, 219 00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:13,719 Speaker 2: he used some sort of foul language, and that's what 220 00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:16,800 Speaker 2: really got me, and saying, when I do use foul language, 221 00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:20,800 Speaker 2: as annoying as it is, when I do, I'm separating 222 00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:22,440 Speaker 2: myself from the character of Jesus. 223 00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:24,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's how I I want to catch his face again, 224 00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:25,840 Speaker 1: and I don't want. 225 00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:28,439 Speaker 2: I didn't want this to happen to me. Or okay, 226 00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:30,480 Speaker 2: you know what, I'm singing along to songs and I 227 00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:32,760 Speaker 2: am a loser. I'm skipping over the other. 228 00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:38,079 Speaker 1: I will do that version now. It's ridiculous. 229 00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:41,199 Speaker 5: But I was feeling this separation from God when I 230 00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:44,640 Speaker 5: was living in sin, when I was, you know, sexually 231 00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:45,680 Speaker 5: active before marriage. 232 00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:47,960 Speaker 1: When I I want to notice too that what they're 233 00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:50,840 Speaker 1: talking about is not just speaking curse words. They're also 234 00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:53,280 Speaker 1: talking about listening to it or hearing it or watching 235 00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:55,680 Speaker 1: it in a movie, listening to it in a song. 236 00:11:56,679 --> 00:12:00,040 Speaker 1: But I'm very interested, probably more than the conversation it 237 00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:02,800 Speaker 1: sol if. I'm more interested in George and how he 238 00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:04,800 Speaker 1: is reacting to it. And I think we should all 239 00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:10,480 Speaker 1: watch and see what is working inside of George right now, 240 00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:13,679 Speaker 1: that's the guy with the beanie cap. What is happening 241 00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:16,600 Speaker 1: to him? It's interesting. Let's keep watching, and I'm gonna 242 00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:19,640 Speaker 1: try to get past these girls talking here. Let's go 243 00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:20,480 Speaker 1: back to here. 244 00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:23,520 Speaker 4: Is did you guys talk about my swearing behind closed doors? 245 00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:25,400 Speaker 4: Is that something that you guys wanted to fix on me? 246 00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:26,559 Speaker 1: Not fix on you? 247 00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:29,360 Speaker 3: But I did notice that. I didn't notice that. Is 248 00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:31,600 Speaker 3: it something that challenged you guys when you guys heard 249 00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:32,040 Speaker 3: my stuff? 250 00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:35,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, it was. 251 00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:36,760 Speaker 2: We didn't talk about it as if we were going 252 00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:38,439 Speaker 2: to bring it up at all, but we were watching 253 00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:40,760 Speaker 2: like some clips together and we I noticed that, like 254 00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:44,640 Speaker 2: you cuss on the podcast, and you know what's funny 255 00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:46,439 Speaker 2: is our first episode. I'm pretty sure we set a 256 00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:48,240 Speaker 2: couple of customers. We did. Actually, I know on the 257 00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:50,679 Speaker 2: second one, I spelt out a cuss word as it 258 00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:53,040 Speaker 2: because I just didn't We weren't living, you know what 259 00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:54,800 Speaker 2: I mean. We didn't know and honestly, we didn't really 260 00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:55,280 Speaker 2: care yet. 261 00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:57,360 Speaker 3: And no we didn't say, oh, let's bring this up. 262 00:12:57,400 --> 00:13:01,480 Speaker 3: But I did notice that, and because I was like that, 263 00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:03,520 Speaker 3: that's what we did. So I was just you know, 264 00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:09,840 Speaker 3: I make a vow that today's the last day I swear. Yeah, 265 00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:13,600 Speaker 3: I challenge I'm probably gonna mess up a lot. 266 00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:16,160 Speaker 4: Okay, I'm gonna go get a band and write it 267 00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:18,520 Speaker 4: on my hand every day until I fly master it. 268 00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:21,240 Speaker 1: Wow. Okay. So that that's what I thought. This was 269 00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:22,800 Speaker 1: that this is where I thought this was leading, and 270 00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:25,120 Speaker 1: I was hoping he was gonna do that. So what 271 00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:27,319 Speaker 1: we've witnessed here and I'm gonna try to find a 272 00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:29,640 Speaker 1: spot I could pause on his face because I like 273 00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:34,760 Speaker 1: his face. There we go. So what we're seeing, And 274 00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:37,720 Speaker 1: to be honest, I haven't followed this guy, George Jenko. 275 00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:40,440 Speaker 1: I think it's his name. This is the first video 276 00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:43,520 Speaker 1: I've seen from him. But but I'll tell you why. 277 00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:46,199 Speaker 1: I know he's a brother and it's a beautiful thing 278 00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:50,000 Speaker 1: because what's happening to him is repentance. And a lot 279 00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:52,400 Speaker 1: of times we Christians talk about repentance. In the Bible 280 00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:59,559 Speaker 1: commands repentance. It's necessary, it could repentance is necessary as 281 00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:03,599 Speaker 1: a human response to the saving grace of God. And 282 00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:07,400 Speaker 1: so what's happened with George is he's defending it and 283 00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:13,480 Speaker 1: and he he's saying he's giving reasons while he why 284 00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:17,679 Speaker 1: he thinks that cussing or using a foul mouth is 285 00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:22,440 Speaker 1: beneficial in his quote unquote ministry because it's helping to 286 00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:26,000 Speaker 1: relate and God, God's looking at the heart, not at 287 00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:31,240 Speaker 1: the words. And but as these girls unpack a pretty 288 00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:35,520 Speaker 1: good defense for keeping a clean mouth, we'll call it 289 00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:39,280 Speaker 1: that term, he starts to break down, and it's actually 290 00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:42,240 Speaker 1: visible on this video, and it's it's really neat to 291 00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:45,840 Speaker 1: see because we're watching in real time on this video, 292 00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:49,840 Speaker 1: repentance as it's happening. And then the way I know 293 00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:54,000 Speaker 1: he's a brother, and the way you know Christ is 294 00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:56,040 Speaker 1: in this man and the Holy Spirit is working in 295 00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:57,880 Speaker 1: him as far as we can tell from one video. 296 00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:01,960 Speaker 1: But but but humans don't do this. This is not 297 00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:05,120 Speaker 1: normal for a human. And I believe this is his show. 298 00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:07,800 Speaker 1: I believe this is his podcast. So it would be 299 00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:12,040 Speaker 1: like someone coming on my podcast and challenging me was 300 00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:15,400 Speaker 1: something that I had just made my own defense for 301 00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:19,360 Speaker 1: so that I could keep up with what I'm defending 302 00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:23,680 Speaker 1: that I think is right, and someone that's a guest 303 00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:28,600 Speaker 1: challenging me, and humans don't do well in this kind 304 00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:31,440 Speaker 1: of situation, especially on our own platforms. In front of 305 00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:34,840 Speaker 1: our own people. We don't do well, we are pride 306 00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:38,480 Speaker 1: kicks in and all the defenses go up and we go, man, 307 00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:41,600 Speaker 1: this is something we're all. You got, your thing I got. 308 00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:46,240 Speaker 1: Don't be holier than me, don't come judging me on 309 00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:48,920 Speaker 1: my show. You know this is And even if you 310 00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:50,720 Speaker 1: don't say it out loud, that's what you're thinking. And 311 00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:54,160 Speaker 1: you could see that through body language. That's not what's 312 00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:59,280 Speaker 1: happening to this guy, George. His body language goes into submission. 313 00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:03,080 Speaker 1: He starts look at his face right here on the screenshot. 314 00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:07,600 Speaker 1: His eyes are turned. He's thinking, he's in deep thought 315 00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:14,840 Speaker 1: and he's backpedaling and he's turning away. He's changing his mind. Literally, 316 00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:17,200 Speaker 1: you could see repentance in his face right here. He's 317 00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:21,560 Speaker 1: changing his mind about sin and turning instead to God. 318 00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:24,840 Speaker 1: And by the end of this video he says, I'm 319 00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:27,160 Speaker 1: making a vow right now. Then I'm gonna stop gussing. 320 00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:31,560 Speaker 1: Oh man, it gives me chills. It's a beautiful thing. 321 00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:34,760 Speaker 1: And then he goes on to say, correctly, I'm gonna 322 00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:37,800 Speaker 1: mess up, but I don't want to do this anymore. 323 00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:41,120 Speaker 1: It's basically what he's saying. And so it's the direction. 324 00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:44,360 Speaker 1: It's not the achievement, it's not the destination of where 325 00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:47,680 Speaker 1: we're going to defeat sin. Instead, it's a change of course. 326 00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:51,160 Speaker 1: It's a change of direction away from ourselves and our 327 00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:55,280 Speaker 1: pride and our sin and changing course. As if you're 328 00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:58,000 Speaker 1: in a boat and you're completely changing the boat and 329 00:16:58,040 --> 00:16:59,840 Speaker 1: you're turning all the way, you're turning the stern all 330 00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:03,960 Speaker 1: around and you're going the other way, and you're going Listen, 331 00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:06,560 Speaker 1: I know I'm going to have a tendency to turn 332 00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:08,880 Speaker 1: back to the old way again, but I don't want 333 00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:10,960 Speaker 1: to go that way anymore. I want to go this way. 334 00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:14,280 Speaker 1: I want to go God's way. And as he was 335 00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:17,520 Speaker 1: rebuked by these other Christians, that's the decision he makes, 336 00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:22,720 Speaker 1: and that is repentance and it is beautiful. And so 337 00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:25,200 Speaker 1: even though we're not even talking about cussing at this point, 338 00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:28,719 Speaker 1: I think that that that's a beautiful illustration of repentance. 339 00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:32,040 Speaker 1: And I also think the idea the conclusion about cussing 340 00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:35,240 Speaker 1: is correct. Let's jump into another video and then i'll 341 00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:40,880 Speaker 1: give you my thoughts about this. So a long time ago, 342 00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:43,280 Speaker 1: whenever I started grangersmith dot com, I think the furthest 343 00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:46,080 Speaker 1: thing from my mind was one day I would be 344 00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:50,440 Speaker 1: selling things online in an online store like YEEE apparel. 345 00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:53,159 Speaker 1: That was the furthest thing from my mind. But as 346 00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:56,240 Speaker 1: things evolved, and you know, things started progressing in my career, 347 00:17:56,800 --> 00:18:01,560 Speaker 1: I started selling T shirts and hats and boozies and music, 348 00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:06,480 Speaker 1: and that eventually led to ee apparel and everything became 349 00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:09,920 Speaker 1: easy when we started using Shopify.

Okay, 383 00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:04,320 Speaker 1: this next video that ant Man found, this is going 384 00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:06,040 Speaker 1: to that that first one was just kind of a 385 00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:09,320 Speaker 1: general idea about cussing itself. Now this one is going 386 00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:13,480 Speaker 1: to dive deeper into what is cussing. In fact that 387 00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:16,160 Speaker 1: the title of this that Antman put is the hypocrisy 388 00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:20,399 Speaker 1: of cussing. What does that even mean? We're talking about 389 00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:22,960 Speaker 1: how this flow, this all flows from the heart. And 390 00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:25,200 Speaker 1: then I'm going to give you I have a few 391 00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:27,040 Speaker 1: notes here on my phone. I'm going to read you 392 00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:30,040 Speaker 1: my thoughts that I wrote down. Well, I just wrote 393 00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:33,360 Speaker 1: down some verses, so we'll discuss after we check out 394 00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:33,800 Speaker 1: this video. 395 00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:36,360 Speaker 5: And I do think you can cuss somebody out without 396 00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:38,440 Speaker 5: using cuss words. I do think you can curse somebody 397 00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:39,520 Speaker 5: without using cuss words. 398 00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:41,920 Speaker 6: Like I had this conversation with my mom a little 399 00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:46,040 Speaker 6: while ago and I was like, Yo, if which one 400 00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:46,760 Speaker 6: of these things? 401 00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:49,160 Speaker 3: And as a matter of fact, this is a question, 402 00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:51,399 Speaker 3: this is a question. What do you think about this? 403 00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:51,800 Speaker 1: Okay? 404 00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:55,359 Speaker 6: You have two different sentences. You have someone that goes 405 00:20:56,400 --> 00:20:57,760 Speaker 6: if I were to if I were to look at 406 00:20:57,800 --> 00:21:00,760 Speaker 6: my brother and say you're an idiot and you're never 407 00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:01,040 Speaker 6: going to. 408 00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:03,119 Speaker 5: Be anything in life, that's awful. 409 00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:06,000 Speaker 6: That versus if I looked at my brother and said 410 00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:08,760 Speaker 6: I love you so, and there's a two part there's 411 00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:10,560 Speaker 6: a two part questions. Okay, so which one of those? 412 00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:11,040 Speaker 3: Do you think? 413 00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:12,920 Speaker 1: The video skipped just a little bit, But he said, 414 00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:16,200 Speaker 1: what's the difference? What is better telling your brother you're 415 00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:19,399 Speaker 1: an idiot and I don't like you basically, or I 416 00:21:19,560 --> 00:21:22,520 Speaker 1: love you so effing much, but actually using the word 417 00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:23,359 Speaker 1: that's his point here. 418 00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:26,440 Speaker 3: God would be like, yeah, absolutely not. 419 00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:28,840 Speaker 5: I don't think God would co sign either statement. 420 00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:34,520 Speaker 6: Right right, watch if do you think your answer would 421 00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:36,480 Speaker 6: be the same if I said it was you're an 422 00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:37,920 Speaker 6: idiot and you're never going to be anything in life, 423 00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:40,640 Speaker 6: or I love you so freaking much, dude? I think 424 00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:43,199 Speaker 6: that The conversation then becomes, so does God have an 425 00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:44,560 Speaker 6: issue with the heart or spelling? 426 00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:46,960 Speaker 1: Okay, so now he's making the argument for instead of 427 00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:49,760 Speaker 1: the actual F word, what about freaking? Like could you 428 00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:53,040 Speaker 1: say I love you so freaking much and that way 429 00:21:53,080 --> 00:21:56,719 Speaker 1: you're you're avoiding the actual F word and you've replaced 430 00:21:56,760 --> 00:21:58,440 Speaker 1: it with something else. Is that? Okay? 431 00:21:58,520 --> 00:22:02,320 Speaker 6: That's that's his question, because freaking means the same thing 432 00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:04,320 Speaker 6: as the other word does, but it doesn't have the 433 00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:06,800 Speaker 6: same impact. It doesn't have the same impact. 434 00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:09,760 Speaker 5: And sometimes sometimes and this is hard. This is hard 435 00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:15,000 Speaker 5: because it's not fair. Sometimes you are judged by your 436 00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:16,800 Speaker 5: impact and not your intent. 437 00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:19,880 Speaker 6: Yeah, the reason I'm the only reason I'm pushing back 438 00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:24,720 Speaker 6: is because the Church, like Christians, we have these filler 439 00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:29,680 Speaker 6: words that don't actually have any meaning except for to 440 00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:32,760 Speaker 6: be the filler word for a cuss word. So that 441 00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:35,800 Speaker 6: means maybe we should stop saying those words too, though 442 00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:38,919 Speaker 6: that is my exact point. So my point is that, Yo, 443 00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:42,960 Speaker 6: if we're either about to wipe the whole board, let's 444 00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:46,399 Speaker 6: get rid of heck, dang, frick, let's get let's get 445 00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:48,440 Speaker 6: rid of crap, let's get let's do let's take it 446 00:22:48,520 --> 00:22:50,920 Speaker 6: all out or green light all of it. 447 00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:52,440 Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. 448 00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:54,440 Speaker 5: I still think some things are just gonna be felt different, 449 00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:54,840 Speaker 5: like something. 450 00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:58,639 Speaker 1: And like I said, okay, So he's making the argument 451 00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:02,040 Speaker 1: that if we're going to have words that replace the 452 00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:05,040 Speaker 1: actual cuss words, is it okay to say them because 453 00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:07,080 Speaker 1: they have less of an impact. So that this is 454 00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:10,440 Speaker 1: the discussion, is is it the actual word? Kind of 455 00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:12,680 Speaker 1: like kind of like I said earlier, if if I 456 00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:15,200 Speaker 1: wrote out a four letter word and gave it to 457 00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:17,560 Speaker 1: a Russian guy and he spoke it, and he had 458 00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:21,359 Speaker 1: no idea what it meant. That would what would that 459 00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:23,720 Speaker 1: mean for him? Would it would he be sinning in that? 460 00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:27,040 Speaker 1: Of course? Not like I said with Sermon on the Mountain, 461 00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:29,359 Speaker 1: Jesus is getting to the heart. Jesus did this through 462 00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:32,960 Speaker 1: his through his entire ministry. He wanted the heart. He 463 00:23:33,119 --> 00:23:36,080 Speaker 1: was dealing with the heart. And from the overflow of 464 00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:40,040 Speaker 1: the heart, the mouth speaks, Jesus says. And so as 465 00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:44,240 Speaker 1: you speak, you're speaking the overflow of what's in your heart. 466 00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:47,280 Speaker 1: If you want to get to know someone, listen to 467 00:23:47,359 --> 00:23:49,560 Speaker 1: them speak. If you want to know the heart of 468 00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:53,280 Speaker 1: a man or a woman, stay around long enough and 469 00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:56,399 Speaker 1: listen to them speak, and you will hear the overflow 470 00:23:56,920 --> 00:24:00,159 Speaker 1: of their heart. That's what Jesus means by that. And 471 00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:03,480 Speaker 1: I think that's the argument that these guys are making 472 00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:04,200 Speaker 1: in this video. 473 00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:05,760 Speaker 6: Say, this is just a lot of it just for 474 00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:08,800 Speaker 6: to go and think about and have you actually think 475 00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:11,680 Speaker 6: about the way that you consider people, because I know 476 00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:15,040 Speaker 6: people that would say things like, if you cuss, you're 477 00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:15,719 Speaker 6: not a Christian. 478 00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:16,240 Speaker 3: Period. 479 00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:18,879 Speaker 6: That's a say statement, because that's the. 480 00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:21,560 Speaker 1: Part we need to discuss as well. For someone to 481 00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:24,840 Speaker 1: say if you cuss, you're not a Christian. Guess what 482 00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:28,840 Speaker 1: it's Without me even getting into that, the previous video 483 00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:31,520 Speaker 1: made a great point on that. The guy George Jenko, 484 00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:38,760 Speaker 1: I think, I don't know, but I think that he 485 00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:42,159 Speaker 1: is a brother, he is a Christian, and he was 486 00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:44,040 Speaker 1: cussing at the beginning of the video and then by 487 00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:46,359 Speaker 1: the end of it he was not. So it would 488 00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:48,720 Speaker 1: not be a fair judgment at all to say because 489 00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:51,760 Speaker 1: of what you say, I could judge you today and 490 00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:53,720 Speaker 1: tell you whether you are or not a Christian. That's 491 00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:56,240 Speaker 1: a different discussion, but I think the argument could be 492 00:24:56,280 --> 00:24:59,240 Speaker 1: made already that that first video proved that wrong. 493 00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:03,320 Speaker 6: You cuss by God's standards, You cuss all day long. 494 00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:07,040 Speaker 5: Yeah, it's a tricky one, man, because it's deemed what's 495 00:25:07,080 --> 00:25:09,560 Speaker 5: appropriate by a society. You know, what I'm saying is 496 00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:13,600 Speaker 5: deemed what's appropriate in different times in space. Different words 497 00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:17,359 Speaker 5: were more appropriate different times of space, and like, like 498 00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:19,960 Speaker 5: here's an example, did you know that, like spaz is 499 00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:25,840 Speaker 5: considered derogatory to specific people that have that's a rest. 500 00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:26,480 Speaker 5: It's another one. 501 00:25:26,520 --> 00:25:29,280 Speaker 1: But like in the UK, like you can't like spaz 502 00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:29,560 Speaker 1: is not. 503 00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:30,959 Speaker 5: Appropriate, and that's what I mean. 504 00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:32,959 Speaker 1: So it's like there's it's just yeah, just a lot. 505 00:25:33,040 --> 00:25:34,960 Speaker 6: That's another thing that that I think plays into it 506 00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:39,360 Speaker 6: is like here certain words are cuss words, somewhere else 507 00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:40,000 Speaker 6: they're not. 508 00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:43,560 Speaker 1: And so then Okay, I don't know where this this 509 00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:46,119 Speaker 1: video is necessarily going, and I don't know if I 510 00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:49,959 Speaker 1: actually need more AMMO to make this argument because now 511 00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:52,400 Speaker 1: they're getting into once again the heart of the matter. 512 00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:55,600 Speaker 1: Where is your heart in the situation. That's what Jesus 513 00:25:55,640 --> 00:26:00,520 Speaker 1: wants to know. So first we should address the idea 514 00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:07,239 Speaker 1: of of people that the holier than now idea like, oh, 515 00:26:07,320 --> 00:26:10,080 Speaker 1: you're just being holier than what is that? What does 516 00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:13,560 Speaker 1: that phrase? Holier than hold it than thou? Holier than thou? 517 00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:17,000 Speaker 1: That's what people say, Oh you're holier than thou. That's 518 00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:21,160 Speaker 1: what the last video is said too. And so it's 519 00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:24,000 Speaker 1: it's it's just critical. It's critical for us to know 520 00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:29,480 Speaker 1: that we are saved by grace through faith. This is 521 00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:33,160 Speaker 1: not our own doing. This is the gift of God, 522 00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:37,280 Speaker 1: not a result of works, so that no man may 523 00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:42,720 Speaker 1: boast Ephesians to eight to nine. And it's it's critical 524 00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:47,960 Speaker 1: to understand that there is nothing we do or don't 525 00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:54,639 Speaker 1: do that saves us. So uh, Stopping cussing will not 526 00:26:54,800 --> 00:27:00,600 Speaker 1: make you a Christian. Stopping stop stealing that will not 527 00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:04,359 Speaker 1: make you a Christian. Stop committing adultery that will not 528 00:27:04,600 --> 00:27:08,480 Speaker 1: make you a Christian. We have to understand that this 529 00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:12,280 Speaker 1: idea of being a good person makes you a Christian, 530 00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:15,800 Speaker 1: or that being a good person gets you an invitation 531 00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:20,840 Speaker 1: to heaven is absolute heresy, and it's completely wrong. It's 532 00:27:20,920 --> 00:27:23,920 Speaker 1: never been taught that way, although it is, it's you know, 533 00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:26,840 Speaker 1: continued to be some kind of heresy that makes its 534 00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:35,240 Speaker 1: way into teaching, if not just subliminably, sublimably through our 535 00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:38,080 Speaker 1: minds and through our teaching, and through our understanding and 536 00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:42,240 Speaker 1: through our living. So if you were to ask the 537 00:27:42,359 --> 00:27:45,720 Speaker 1: average person on the street, how do you get into heaven? 538 00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:49,119 Speaker 1: A common answer is I don't know. You've got to 539 00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:51,960 Speaker 1: be a good person. Well, the Bible is very clear. 540 00:27:52,119 --> 00:27:55,359 Speaker 1: First of all, that no one is good, no not 541 00:27:55,600 --> 00:28:00,920 Speaker 1: even one, Isaiah says, through the inspiration of God. And 542 00:28:01,040 --> 00:28:03,920 Speaker 1: then Paul will say that all have sinned and fall 543 00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:07,000 Speaker 1: short of the glory of God Romans three twenty three. 544 00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:11,159 Speaker 1: So no one is good, and all have sinned and 545 00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:15,520 Speaker 1: fall short of His glory, all have fallen short of 546 00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:20,399 Speaker 1: our invitation to heaven, it's not happening. We've already messed 547 00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:22,879 Speaker 1: that up. So whether or not you cuss or not, 548 00:28:23,800 --> 00:28:25,960 Speaker 1: or you cuss a lot or a little, or a 549 00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:29,679 Speaker 1: medium of mount or none, none of that has anything 550 00:28:29,760 --> 00:28:32,480 Speaker 1: to do with your right standing with God. The only 551 00:28:32,560 --> 00:28:36,160 Speaker 1: way you have right standing with God is through Jesus, 552 00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:41,280 Speaker 1: through his final work, has finished work on the cross 553 00:28:42,200 --> 00:28:47,520 Speaker 1: as a substitution for the crime punishment that you deserved 554 00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:52,200 Speaker 1: right and in exchange you are seen righteous, in exchange 555 00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:55,640 Speaker 1: for your faith in Him, your belief in Him and 556 00:28:56,200 --> 00:28:58,480 Speaker 1: your repentance. Like we saw from George in the last video, 557 00:28:58,840 --> 00:29:01,680 Speaker 1: is that you turn away from yourself. You go to 558 00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:03,640 Speaker 1: God and you go God, I can't I can't do it. 559 00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:08,080 Speaker 1: I'm turning away from myself and I'm changing my course 560 00:29:08,520 --> 00:29:12,200 Speaker 1: to you, saying I trust you and what you have 561 00:29:12,320 --> 00:29:15,480 Speaker 1: done because I have fallen short, have mercy on me 562 00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:18,640 Speaker 1: a sinner. That's the only standing we have with him 563 00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:23,000 Speaker 1: is what Jesus did for us, God the Sun incarnate 564 00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:27,840 Speaker 1: in flesh, coming into this world for humanity to suffer 565 00:29:28,120 --> 00:29:30,560 Speaker 1: in it, in the humanity that he created, which is 566 00:29:30,680 --> 00:29:35,360 Speaker 1: just wild, to come and suffer in it, so that 567 00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:39,000 Speaker 1: we could be reconciled back to God, who we broke 568 00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:44,120 Speaker 1: our relationship with through our own sin. So all of 569 00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:47,920 Speaker 1: that is the truth, and this cussing thing is irrelevant 570 00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:51,600 Speaker 1: to that. So to be able to say, I know 571 00:29:51,880 --> 00:29:54,640 Speaker 1: he's a Christian or not because of what he says 572 00:29:55,600 --> 00:30:00,080 Speaker 1: is wrong, but it could be an indication of of 573 00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:06,320 Speaker 1: a heart that is still corrupted, if that makes sense, 574 00:30:06,520 --> 00:30:09,080 Speaker 1: because out of the abundance of the heart and the 575 00:30:09,160 --> 00:30:14,840 Speaker 1: mouth speaks. So you can see indications of a healthy 576 00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:19,480 Speaker 1: tree by its fruit. And if a tree has bad fruit, 577 00:30:19,880 --> 00:30:23,640 Speaker 1: then you can go okay, this tree might need to 578 00:30:23,680 --> 00:30:29,800 Speaker 1: be completely torn down, burned and replanted, right, which is 579 00:30:29,880 --> 00:30:32,760 Speaker 1: what God does with us through conversion. We become a 580 00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:36,760 Speaker 1: new creation, a new tree that now bears good fruit 581 00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:39,640 Speaker 1: instead of bad fruit. So you can make an argument 582 00:30:40,080 --> 00:30:43,400 Speaker 1: that you can get a lot of information from someone 583 00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:45,400 Speaker 1: and how they speak, but that's not what we're talking 584 00:30:45,400 --> 00:30:48,920 Speaker 1: about either. We're talking about is it okay for Christians 585 00:30:48,960 --> 00:30:51,360 Speaker 1: to cuss? I think that's the topic at hand, And 586 00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:53,800 Speaker 1: I want to go for an answer for answers to this. 587 00:30:53,880 --> 00:30:56,200 Speaker 1: I want to go straight to the Bible itself, and 588 00:30:56,240 --> 00:30:58,680 Speaker 1: I pulled up I made some notes here and so 589 00:30:58,760 --> 00:31:00,000 Speaker 1: I just want to go through a couple of vers 590 00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:04,600 Speaker 1: and do just some light commentary on them. And some 591 00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:06,360 Speaker 1: of the stuff was already talked about in the in 592 00:31:06,400 --> 00:31:12,280 Speaker 1: the previous video Ephesians four twenty nine. Do not let 593 00:31:12,640 --> 00:31:16,760 Speaker 1: any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only 594 00:31:16,880 --> 00:31:20,840 Speaker 1: what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, 595 00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:25,160 Speaker 1: that it may be beneficial, that it may benefit those 596 00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:27,920 Speaker 1: who listen. So that George was making the argument, well, yeah, 597 00:31:27,960 --> 00:31:31,600 Speaker 1: this is building them up because I'm I'm relating to them. Okay, 598 00:31:32,080 --> 00:31:35,440 Speaker 1: well then let's go to Colossans three eight. But now 599 00:31:36,040 --> 00:31:39,720 Speaker 1: you must also rid yourself of all of these, of 600 00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:44,760 Speaker 1: all such things as these anger, rage, malice, slander, and 601 00:31:45,240 --> 00:31:49,440 Speaker 1: filthy language from your lips. So now George has already 602 00:31:49,480 --> 00:31:53,200 Speaker 1: lost his argument to Colossians three eight. James three ten. 603 00:31:53,440 --> 00:31:56,080 Speaker 1: I believe that was mentioned in this video out of 604 00:31:56,120 --> 00:31:59,000 Speaker 1: the or the play previous video out of the same mouth, 605 00:31:59,720 --> 00:32:02,640 Speaker 1: come and praise and cursing my brothers and sisters. This 606 00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:06,600 Speaker 1: should not be Proverbs eighteen twenty one. The tongue has 607 00:32:06,640 --> 00:32:10,280 Speaker 1: the power of death, the power of life and death, 608 00:32:11,280 --> 00:32:15,360 Speaker 1: and those who love it will eat its fruit. Matthew twelve, 609 00:32:15,800 --> 00:32:18,840 Speaker 1: thirty six and thirty seven. But I tell you that 610 00:32:18,960 --> 00:32:23,680 Speaker 1: everyone will have to give an account on the day 611 00:32:23,720 --> 00:32:29,880 Speaker 1: of judgment for every empty word they have spoken. For 612 00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:31,960 Speaker 1: by your words, you will be acquitted, and by your 613 00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:37,160 Speaker 1: words you will be condemned. Well, that is very interesting, 614 00:32:37,360 --> 00:32:39,320 Speaker 1: and we have to also remember that we're saved by 615 00:32:39,360 --> 00:32:43,200 Speaker 1: grace through faith, So you will be judged by everything 616 00:32:43,280 --> 00:32:45,720 Speaker 1: that you do, and the only way you'll be set 617 00:32:45,800 --> 00:32:49,640 Speaker 1: free is if your righteousness is found in Jesus through 618 00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:51,600 Speaker 1: your faith in Him, and not on your own. So 619 00:32:52,080 --> 00:32:54,560 Speaker 1: you're in deep trouble if you're out on your own 620 00:32:54,840 --> 00:32:56,640 Speaker 1: trying to hope you're going to get into heaven, because 621 00:32:56,760 --> 00:33:01,360 Speaker 1: Jesus is saying you're already condemned. Five to four says 622 00:33:02,680 --> 00:33:07,160 Speaker 1: nor should there be obscenity, foolish talk or course talking 623 00:33:07,920 --> 00:33:11,480 Speaker 1: which is out of place, but rather thanksgiving. So he's 624 00:33:11,640 --> 00:33:15,960 Speaker 1: encouraging Christians already converted already have they already have the 625 00:33:16,040 --> 00:33:20,160 Speaker 1: ability to repent like George did. And what happens is 626 00:33:20,240 --> 00:33:23,680 Speaker 1: when you these verses are taking in somebody that's already 627 00:33:23,680 --> 00:33:30,840 Speaker 1: a Christian and it's encouraging them to walk in the light. Basically, 628 00:33:31,320 --> 00:33:34,440 Speaker 1: and you can't tell a non believer this because they 629 00:33:34,480 --> 00:33:37,120 Speaker 1: don't have that ability to walk. Instead, they need the 630 00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:39,760 Speaker 1: Gospel so that they could that tree, that that that 631 00:33:39,840 --> 00:33:42,200 Speaker 1: they are could be torn down and thrown into the 632 00:33:42,240 --> 00:33:45,760 Speaker 1: fire and reborn into a new tree that now is 633 00:33:46,440 --> 00:33:51,959 Speaker 1: is capable of bearing good fruit through the work of Jesus, 634 00:33:53,800 --> 00:33:56,880 Speaker 1: through the ability that they now have empowered by Jesus. 635 00:33:57,240 --> 00:33:59,640 Speaker 1: So those Christians that we're talking about, that's why that 636 00:33:59,720 --> 00:34:03,640 Speaker 1: is so important. So Christians now have the ability to 637 00:34:03,720 --> 00:34:08,960 Speaker 1: hear this, to hear Ephesians five to four, and go, ah, man, 638 00:34:09,080 --> 00:34:11,839 Speaker 1: my wheels are turned kind of like George said, Man, 639 00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:15,680 Speaker 1: I feel that I've been I've been messing. I've been 640 00:34:15,760 --> 00:34:17,919 Speaker 1: doing that course joking. I've been doing that fool whish 641 00:34:17,960 --> 00:34:23,800 Speaker 1: talk thing. I gotta change Proverbs fifteen to one. A 642 00:34:23,920 --> 00:34:27,440 Speaker 1: gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs 643 00:34:27,520 --> 00:34:32,080 Speaker 1: up anger. Colossians four to six. Let your conversation always 644 00:34:32,120 --> 00:34:35,560 Speaker 1: be full of grace, season with salt, so that you 645 00:34:35,760 --> 00:34:39,200 Speaker 1: may know how to answer everyone. One Peter three ten. 646 00:34:39,320 --> 00:34:42,480 Speaker 1: For whoever would love life and see good days must 647 00:34:42,560 --> 00:34:44,960 Speaker 1: keep their tongue from evil and their lips from deceitful 648 00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:49,760 Speaker 1: speech Saw nineteen fourteen. May these words of my mouth 649 00:34:50,120 --> 00:34:52,919 Speaker 1: and this meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight, Lord, 650 00:34:53,440 --> 00:34:57,560 Speaker 1: my Rock and my Redeemer. Yeah, that's really good stuff. 651 00:34:58,320 --> 00:35:01,080 Speaker 1: And once again these are when Christians hear these, it 652 00:35:01,200 --> 00:35:03,759 Speaker 1: should It's I've said this before in a message. It's 653 00:35:03,840 --> 00:35:06,840 Speaker 1: like it's like a when you you become a butterfly. 654 00:35:06,960 --> 00:35:09,680 Speaker 1: If you're a caterpillar, right and you cut your you've 655 00:35:09,800 --> 00:35:13,440 Speaker 1: become a brand new butterfly. And other butterflies more wise, 656 00:35:13,520 --> 00:35:15,640 Speaker 1: mature butterflies come up to you and you go, they 657 00:35:15,719 --> 00:35:19,359 Speaker 1: say to the to the young butterfly, the old ones say, hey, man, 658 00:35:20,160 --> 00:35:22,320 Speaker 1: you know you don't have to be walking around with 659 00:35:22,400 --> 00:35:26,000 Speaker 1: these caterpillars eating these leaves anymore. There's something way better. 660 00:35:26,080 --> 00:35:28,640 Speaker 1: It's called nectar, and it's over there on the other 661 00:35:28,680 --> 00:35:30,799 Speaker 1: side of the garden. And then the butter the new 662 00:35:30,840 --> 00:35:32,920 Speaker 1: butterflies like, well, how am I supposed to get to 663 00:35:32,920 --> 00:35:36,759 Speaker 1: the other side, And the older butterfly says, you see 664 00:35:36,800 --> 00:35:38,520 Speaker 1: those things you got on your on your sides, Now 665 00:35:38,600 --> 00:35:42,440 Speaker 1: those legs, those are wings. You can fly, you know. 666 00:35:42,640 --> 00:35:45,640 Speaker 1: So sometimes it takes for a new Christian or or 667 00:35:45,680 --> 00:35:48,600 Speaker 1: a Christian that just hasn't been well discipled to hear 668 00:35:48,719 --> 00:35:51,800 Speaker 1: these these words from a more wise Christian and words 669 00:35:52,160 --> 00:35:55,160 Speaker 1: from the Bible like this that rebuke them. They go, oh, 670 00:35:56,000 --> 00:35:59,759 Speaker 1: I can fly. It's a beautiful thing. So here's another 671 00:35:59,840 --> 00:36:03,160 Speaker 1: thing we've been talking about. Should you say darn or 672 00:36:03,440 --> 00:36:06,920 Speaker 1: heck or dang it? Here's another one. Listen to this, 673 00:36:08,640 --> 00:36:11,800 Speaker 1: Dad gummet, and you've probably heard me say, Dad gummy, 674 00:36:12,200 --> 00:36:15,240 Speaker 1: that's what my dad said all the time, Dad Gummet. 675 00:36:16,080 --> 00:36:18,480 Speaker 1: What does that mean? Where did that come from? Well? 676 00:36:18,600 --> 00:36:21,319 Speaker 1: I was thinking about this today before the podcast. Take 677 00:36:21,440 --> 00:36:23,960 Speaker 1: the D and the G and swap them, and now'll 678 00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:25,840 Speaker 1: say it and see what that comes out to be. 679 00:36:26,200 --> 00:36:29,600 Speaker 1: You could see what that replaced, Dad Gummet, Switch the 680 00:36:29,640 --> 00:36:33,200 Speaker 1: D and the G and see what it replaced. So 681 00:36:34,080 --> 00:36:36,279 Speaker 1: it's the same heart position. You're saying the same thing. 682 00:36:37,200 --> 00:36:41,600 Speaker 1: Jesus says this in Matthew five thirty seven. Simply let 683 00:36:41,680 --> 00:36:47,000 Speaker 1: your yes be yes and your no be no. Anything 684 00:36:47,120 --> 00:36:51,920 Speaker 1: beyond this comes from the evil one. So like this 685 00:36:52,040 --> 00:36:54,359 Speaker 1: guy on this video was making this argument, if you're 686 00:36:54,400 --> 00:36:56,719 Speaker 1: going to tell your brother I love you so freaking much, 687 00:36:57,880 --> 00:36:59,440 Speaker 1: let your yes be yes and your no be no. 688 00:36:59,719 --> 00:37:04,759 Speaker 1: Let that be enough. You don't have to exaggerate anything, right, 689 00:37:05,280 --> 00:37:08,960 Speaker 1: So the heart position matters, and I think the darns 690 00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:11,640 Speaker 1: and the dang its and the dad gummants actually do matter. 691 00:37:12,680 --> 00:37:15,440 Speaker 1: And this is this is personal sanctification. For anyone listening 692 00:37:15,520 --> 00:37:17,560 Speaker 1: that says that and they're a Christian, don't think I'm 693 00:37:17,600 --> 00:37:20,160 Speaker 1: telling you you're condemned or you're not a Christian, or 694 00:37:20,200 --> 00:37:23,560 Speaker 1: you're in you're in sin. I'm saying that as a rebuke, 695 00:37:23,680 --> 00:37:26,480 Speaker 1: and it's something to think about. From the overflow of 696 00:37:26,560 --> 00:37:29,000 Speaker 1: the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks. I think 697 00:37:29,200 --> 00:37:31,560 Speaker 1: these are things that if you hear it a certain way, 698 00:37:31,719 --> 00:37:35,759 Speaker 1: and you hear me saying this, you might like me say, oh, 699 00:37:37,760 --> 00:37:42,080 Speaker 1: maybe I shouldn't say any of it for the tenth 700 00:37:42,239 --> 00:37:45,560 Speaker 1: time on this podcast. Not because you're earning righteousness or 701 00:37:45,840 --> 00:37:49,120 Speaker 1: because you're obtaining your own salvation from what you do 702 00:37:49,360 --> 00:37:52,600 Speaker 1: or say that's already a gift from God as you 703 00:37:52,719 --> 00:37:55,560 Speaker 1: turn from your sin and put your faith in Jesus 704 00:37:55,640 --> 00:37:57,359 Speaker 1: in his work on the cross. I'll say that again, 705 00:37:58,239 --> 00:38:01,000 Speaker 1: but because of the abundance of the heart, when Jesus 706 00:38:01,080 --> 00:38:03,480 Speaker 1: is in your heart and you're filled with the Holy Spirit, 707 00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:06,920 Speaker 1: and you just want. You want so badly just to 708 00:38:07,880 --> 00:38:11,160 Speaker 1: just to show everyone your love for Jesus because of 709 00:38:11,239 --> 00:38:14,920 Speaker 1: the way he loved you first, in the abundance of that, 710 00:38:15,120 --> 00:38:16,920 Speaker 1: in the overflow of that, kind of like you take 711 00:38:16,960 --> 00:38:19,520 Speaker 1: that mentos and you drop it in a coke and 712 00:38:19,640 --> 00:38:21,839 Speaker 1: the coat just over it flows. It's like that from 713 00:38:21,920 --> 00:38:24,520 Speaker 1: that overflow, you go, Lord, I want to do all 714 00:38:24,600 --> 00:38:28,520 Speaker 1: these things. I don't want to say anything that might 715 00:38:28,600 --> 00:38:31,960 Speaker 1: be hurtful or discouraging to someone. I only want to 716 00:38:32,040 --> 00:38:35,759 Speaker 1: be someone that's uplifting to others. I only want to 717 00:38:35,800 --> 00:38:38,080 Speaker 1: be loving to others. And so I want to I 718 00:38:38,160 --> 00:38:40,400 Speaker 1: want to watch my tongue. I want to keep it 719 00:38:40,480 --> 00:38:42,520 Speaker 1: from becoming evil. I want to I want to make 720 00:38:42,560 --> 00:38:44,640 Speaker 1: sure that everything is clean coming out of my mouth. 721 00:38:45,360 --> 00:38:45,480 Speaker 2: Right. 722 00:38:45,600 --> 00:38:47,799 Speaker 1: So that's that might be when you hear this video 723 00:38:47,840 --> 00:38:51,480 Speaker 1: where you end up and then I love I love 724 00:38:51,560 --> 00:38:53,520 Speaker 1: that the girl and that one video brought up this 725 00:38:54,239 --> 00:38:58,160 Speaker 1: Matthew twenty six seventy four talking about Peter as he's 726 00:38:58,200 --> 00:39:00,919 Speaker 1: denying Jesus, it says then and he began to call 727 00:39:01,080 --> 00:39:05,359 Speaker 1: down curses and swore to them. I don't know the man. 728 00:39:06,480 --> 00:39:09,920 Speaker 1: Immediately the rooster crowed, I'm reading out of the n 729 00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:11,880 Speaker 1: I V for that because I think it's an interesting 730 00:39:12,600 --> 00:39:16,320 Speaker 1: it's an it's an interesting translation for that part. And 731 00:39:16,520 --> 00:39:18,160 Speaker 1: and and I think those girls had a good point 732 00:39:18,239 --> 00:39:21,200 Speaker 1: that in this instant, in this instance with Peter, as 733 00:39:21,239 --> 00:39:25,719 Speaker 1: he's separating himself from Jesus, that's when he curses. It 734 00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:32,360 Speaker 1: represents a separation. And so as you hear this, what 735 00:39:32,440 --> 00:39:35,319 Speaker 1: I'm talking about this is this term is called sanctification. 736 00:39:35,560 --> 00:39:39,000 Speaker 1: That's a churchy word, but this is the process of 737 00:39:39,120 --> 00:39:43,640 Speaker 1: becoming more and more like Jesus as his spirit and 738 00:39:43,760 --> 00:39:47,680 Speaker 1: dwells us. It starts to convict us in certain things. 739 00:39:48,040 --> 00:39:50,440 Speaker 1: And people get convicted in different ways. For instance, I've 740 00:39:50,440 --> 00:39:54,480 Speaker 1: got I've gotten convicted with with college football as I'm 741 00:39:54,520 --> 00:39:59,080 Speaker 1: watching it and my emotions rage and my spirit pours 742 00:39:59,160 --> 00:40:03,400 Speaker 1: out onto this game. And I've realized over the years, man, 743 00:40:03,480 --> 00:40:07,319 Speaker 1: i think this is idolatry for me. I think I'm 744 00:40:07,400 --> 00:40:11,000 Speaker 1: worshiping college football. I think that's becoming a sin for me, 745 00:40:11,040 --> 00:40:13,880 Speaker 1: and I should probably back down. That's the conviction the 746 00:40:13,960 --> 00:40:16,239 Speaker 1: Holy Spirit. No, I don't think a normal man would 747 00:40:16,280 --> 00:40:20,360 Speaker 1: say that, but because of the conviction within me, the 748 00:40:20,440 --> 00:40:24,719 Speaker 1: spirit goes, hey, watch yourself, watch yourself. And so when 749 00:40:24,760 --> 00:40:27,920 Speaker 1: I say dad gummet, and I've said that for so 750 00:40:28,520 --> 00:40:31,040 Speaker 1: I mean, my character Donnie says that it's like his thing, right, 751 00:40:31,880 --> 00:40:35,080 Speaker 1: So when I say that now and my spirit goes, 752 00:40:35,200 --> 00:40:39,759 Speaker 1: watch yourself. Not because I'm falling out of the faith, 753 00:40:39,840 --> 00:40:42,600 Speaker 1: but hey, you're becoming more and more like Jesus. And 754 00:40:42,719 --> 00:40:46,000 Speaker 1: in that process you're going to be reminded and convicted 755 00:40:46,080 --> 00:40:48,480 Speaker 1: of certain things. And So to answer this question for 756 00:40:48,560 --> 00:40:51,400 Speaker 1: people that have emailed me a thousand times saying Granger, 757 00:40:51,440 --> 00:40:53,280 Speaker 1: where do you stand on this? Because you have songs 758 00:40:53,880 --> 00:40:56,560 Speaker 1: that have cussing in them. And my answer to all 759 00:40:56,600 --> 00:41:00,520 Speaker 1: of those people is that I am sorry, and you're right. 760 00:41:02,000 --> 00:41:03,520 Speaker 1: And if I was going to make a song today, 761 00:41:04,040 --> 00:41:07,399 Speaker 1: I wouldn't dare do that. I wouldn't dare put those 762 00:41:07,400 --> 00:41:09,040 Speaker 1: words in those songs. And if you, I don't know 763 00:41:09,320 --> 00:41:11,120 Speaker 1: if y'll notice, but the people that have gone to 764 00:41:11,200 --> 00:41:14,160 Speaker 1: my concerts and they watched this whole thing happening to me, 765 00:41:14,239 --> 00:41:17,280 Speaker 1: the sanctification was happening in real time on the stage 766 00:41:17,280 --> 00:41:19,719 Speaker 1: in front of everybody. You might have noticed that that 767 00:41:19,880 --> 00:41:28,800 Speaker 1: words like like city Boy stuck. I believe it is 768 00:41:28,880 --> 00:41:30,319 Speaker 1: one of the ones that there's a lot of those 769 00:41:30,400 --> 00:41:36,399 Speaker 1: songs where the word was hell, oh yeah. The word 770 00:41:36,440 --> 00:41:39,120 Speaker 1: in City Boy Stuck was hell no, not me, and 771 00:41:40,040 --> 00:41:44,000 Speaker 1: that started bothering me, and so it became heck no, 772 00:41:44,280 --> 00:41:47,719 Speaker 1: not me. That's the best I could do. Now, the 773 00:41:47,800 --> 00:41:49,799 Speaker 1: more I'm sanctified, I'm like, I don't even think heck. 774 00:41:50,040 --> 00:41:52,600 Speaker 1: Heck isn't even right, because that's just replacing the word, 775 00:41:52,640 --> 00:41:55,840 Speaker 1: and it's coming out of the same heart. So you 776 00:41:56,080 --> 00:41:58,720 Speaker 1: probably noticed that there were a lot of words that changed, 777 00:41:59,000 --> 00:42:01,200 Speaker 1: and there were songs that I ever sang, like damn Guitar. 778 00:42:01,400 --> 00:42:03,960 Speaker 1: Never sang that song. I was just too convicted. I 779 00:42:04,000 --> 00:42:05,880 Speaker 1: wrote the song a long time ago, and it was 780 00:42:05,920 --> 00:42:09,239 Speaker 1: in the movie moon Rise without the words. Though you 781 00:42:09,360 --> 00:42:11,479 Speaker 1: notice that as in the movie moon Rise without the words, 782 00:42:11,520 --> 00:42:14,360 Speaker 1: and I never sang that song live, and I always 783 00:42:14,440 --> 00:42:16,719 Speaker 1: it always bothered me. The song damn straight always bothered me. 784 00:42:17,360 --> 00:42:21,279 Speaker 1: Not when I recorded it, obviously, but as I was 785 00:42:21,360 --> 00:42:24,600 Speaker 1: sanctified more and more, as I gotten deeper into the word, 786 00:42:24,640 --> 00:42:26,880 Speaker 1: and as the Holy Spirit was tugging at me in 787 00:42:26,920 --> 00:42:30,640 Speaker 1: a lot of different things, conforming me, molding me. It's 788 00:42:30,680 --> 00:42:33,720 Speaker 1: like I was when I was put into the fire, 789 00:42:34,600 --> 00:42:38,360 Speaker 1: really starting with losing riv and then what happened to 790 00:42:38,440 --> 00:42:40,800 Speaker 1: me later. As I was in the fire of this, 791 00:42:42,480 --> 00:42:45,680 Speaker 1: the metal that I was, as corrupted and corroded as 792 00:42:45,719 --> 00:42:50,000 Speaker 1: I was, was beginning to melt and melt and melt 793 00:42:50,120 --> 00:42:54,560 Speaker 1: until it was just molten liquid metal. That's how far 794 00:42:54,719 --> 00:42:57,719 Speaker 1: down I was melted. And when I reached that point 795 00:42:57,760 --> 00:43:02,839 Speaker 1: of complete melted metal, that's when the Lord was able 796 00:43:02,880 --> 00:43:07,960 Speaker 1: to start working. That's when the maker's hand takes that 797 00:43:08,200 --> 00:43:12,640 Speaker 1: molten metal and makes it new, makes it, turns it 798 00:43:12,760 --> 00:43:17,239 Speaker 1: into the refinement that it was always intended to be. 799 00:43:19,040 --> 00:43:22,000 Speaker 1: And as that's happening, and as that refinement happens, it's 800 00:43:22,440 --> 00:43:25,440 Speaker 1: not always it's not always fun. Sometimes it hurts a 801 00:43:25,480 --> 00:43:28,560 Speaker 1: little bit. You're like, wait, why do I feel bad 802 00:43:28,600 --> 00:43:33,399 Speaker 1: about saying darn it? That's weird. You know, you start 803 00:43:33,440 --> 00:43:36,360 Speaker 1: thinking that you feel so out of place, and you're like, 804 00:43:36,440 --> 00:43:40,640 Speaker 1: hang on a second. Maybe maybe I have I've been 805 00:43:40,719 --> 00:43:46,719 Speaker 1: given the power through the Holy Spirit to change the 806 00:43:46,840 --> 00:43:50,799 Speaker 1: way I talk. Maybe this is not a big as 807 00:43:50,840 --> 00:43:52,839 Speaker 1: big a deal as I think I need to fit 808 00:43:52,880 --> 00:43:55,840 Speaker 1: into culture by saying cultural things. Maybe it's not a 809 00:43:55,880 --> 00:43:59,759 Speaker 1: big deal at all. And just like that guy George said, 810 00:44:00,239 --> 00:44:05,440 Speaker 1: I'm gonna mess up a lot, But it's not the destination, 811 00:44:06,600 --> 00:44:09,480 Speaker 1: it's the shift. It's the change of direction towards a 812 00:44:09,560 --> 00:44:14,200 Speaker 1: new destination. That is the evidence of a believer of 813 00:44:14,280 --> 00:44:18,320 Speaker 1: a Christian. So do Christians cuss? That's irrelevant and the 814 00:44:18,320 --> 00:44:23,120 Speaker 1: answer is probably yes. But should Christians cuss? I believe 815 00:44:23,120 --> 00:44:27,240 Speaker 1: that answer is no. And although I wouldn't put judgment 816 00:44:27,360 --> 00:44:29,440 Speaker 1: on current Christians and say you shouldn't cuss, and I 817 00:44:29,600 --> 00:44:32,880 Speaker 1: absolutely would not put that judgment on a non Christian, 818 00:44:33,160 --> 00:44:36,160 Speaker 1: and I would never say that word offends me. I'm 819 00:44:36,200 --> 00:44:38,239 Speaker 1: gonna listen to it and as someone's talking to me 820 00:44:38,280 --> 00:44:40,880 Speaker 1: and they go, so sorry for the language, I'm gonna say, no, 821 00:44:41,040 --> 00:44:44,160 Speaker 1: need to apologize. And in my mind, I'm thinking you 822 00:44:44,200 --> 00:44:46,520 Speaker 1: don't have Jesus, so let me tell you the gospel. 823 00:44:46,840 --> 00:44:49,759 Speaker 1: Don't apologize for your words. I understand. I'll give you 824 00:44:49,840 --> 00:44:53,840 Speaker 1: grace for that. But for the Christian, if they ask me, 825 00:44:53,840 --> 00:44:56,560 Speaker 1: I'm gonna say, brother, I don't think it is right, 826 00:44:56,960 --> 00:44:59,280 Speaker 1: and I think you will be sanctified. And I think eventually, 827 00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:02,520 Speaker 1: just like we saw in that video with George, I 828 00:45:02,600 --> 00:45:06,040 Speaker 1: think true repentance is right around the corner. 829 00:45:06,120 --> 00:45:06,320 Speaker 2: For you. 830 00:45:07,719 --> 00:45:10,200 Speaker 1: Love you guys, If you again, if you have a question, 831 00:45:10,320 --> 00:45:13,360 Speaker 1: email podcast at grangersmith dot com and we'll see you 832 00:45:13,400 --> 00:45:13,719 Speaker 1: next week. 833 00:45:13,800 --> 00:45:14,000 Speaker 2: GG. 834 00:45:16,120 --> 00:45:18,400 Speaker 1: Thanks for joining me on the granger Smith Podcast.
