1
00:00:11,160 --> 00:00:15,440
Speaker 1: We'll type everybody, welcome to the live podcast. This is

2
00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:18,560
Speaker 1: always interesting when we do it. I don't know, we've

3
00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:21,600
Speaker 1: done it four or five times live, and I think

4
00:00:21,640 --> 00:00:22,800
Speaker 1: it's cool this way.

5
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:23,880
Speaker 2: It's cool to do it this way.

6
00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:27,040
Speaker 1: And I'm actually watching the feed from my iPad here

7
00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:29,840
Speaker 1: on the table, and I forget that we're lagging.

8
00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:32,960
Speaker 2: We're lagging. We're lagging a bit. That's why I started

9
00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:33,559
Speaker 2: a little bit late.

10
00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:37,160
Speaker 1: We got Parker with me, my brother, We've got aunt

00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:25,000
Speaker 1: podcast episodes. Thank you Anna so much. This is something

23
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:27,960
Speaker 1: we do every week as we answer your questions. And

24
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:30,560
Speaker 1: really what we could do is we could answer any

25
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:34,840
Speaker 1: question you have about life or love or religion. In fact,

26
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:38,479
Speaker 1: a lot of them tend to be trending towards religion.

27
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:40,640
Speaker 2: Over the last year or so, they do.

28
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:44,200
Speaker 1: But what we're going to do is what do you

29
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:46,440
Speaker 1: remember the title I gave you for this podcast?

30
00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:50,240
Speaker 2: Yes, deep State.

31
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:54,360
Speaker 3: Is changing the Bible.

32
00:01:55,040 --> 00:02:00,400
Speaker 2: The Deep State is changing the Bible. It's our title, Parker.

33
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:02,800
Speaker 2: That's what we're gonna be thinking about.

34
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:08,639
Speaker 1: So the discussion as we can move this chat towards that,

35
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:15,600
Speaker 1: the thought is this has the Bible changed? Can we

36
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:18,880
Speaker 1: trust it? Here's why I'm saying this. This came from

37
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:24,280
Speaker 1: a message I got on my YouTube channel from a

38
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:29,079
Speaker 1: podcast I did with Marshall, my pastor to Mais Marshall,

39
00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:33,160
Speaker 1: and I did an episode about Trump. Did God Save Trump?

40
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:33,760
Speaker 2: Now?

41
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 1: Someone messages to that to Marshall, and I says this quote.

42
00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:41,880
Speaker 1: Just to be clear, I'm not looking for an argument.

43
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:45,440
Speaker 1: I believe in something, but I don't know what it is,

44
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:46,040
Speaker 1: you might say.

45
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:47,600
Speaker 2: He says, the.

46
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:51,160
Speaker 1: Good Book has been changed so many times over the years.

47
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:55,120
Speaker 1: Parentheses just cross reference a really old book with a

48
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:59,760
Speaker 1: modern day book. So my question would be, is someone

49
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:03,280
Speaker 1: manipulating a genuine book. I think he's talking about the

50
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:06,440
Speaker 1: Bible here, obviously for potentially the wrong reasons.

51
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:10,120
Speaker 2: I don't know. And then he says, I.

52
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:12,160
Speaker 1: Hope there is because there's a few people I'd like

53
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:14,840
Speaker 1: to see again. I think he means to say, I

54
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:16,880
Speaker 1: hope there is a God, or I hope the Bible

55
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:19,440
Speaker 1: is true because there's a few people I'd like to

56
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:19,839
Speaker 1: see again.

57
00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:21,560
Speaker 2: Okay, Okay.

58
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:24,799
Speaker 1: So the reason I wanted to talk about this, and

59
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:28,720
Speaker 1: the reason I said deep state, is because there's this

60
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:31,680
Speaker 1: idea that there's an entity out there, there's a group

61
00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:35,840
Speaker 1: or a person that is beyond. It's bigger than the government,

62
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:38,480
Speaker 1: because it wouldn't be Joe Biden doing this. It wouldn't

63
00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:40,720
Speaker 1: be the American government. It wouldn't be the King of England,

64
00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:44,480
Speaker 1: it wouldn't be even Constantine, the Emperor of Rome. It

65
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:47,920
Speaker 1: has to be bigger than that, because it's manipulating the world.

66
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:53,400
Speaker 1: Otherwise someone would catch on to it. This is all theoretical,

67
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:57,800
Speaker 1: but there must be somebody changing the Bible, this guy says,

68
00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:00,920
Speaker 1: and I think it's a it's an argument that first

69
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:03,240
Speaker 1: of all, will completely squash, But second of all, I

70
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 1: think it's it's a good first thought if you're thinking

71
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:06,960
Speaker 1: about these things.

72
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:11,480
Speaker 3: There's a lot of conversations about deep state and what

73
00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:13,560
Speaker 3: the deep state is or who the deep state is,

74
00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:19,039
Speaker 3: especially around election time, there's always that conversation around this

75
00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:25,520
Speaker 3: nondescript deep state. Who are they? In fact, I just

76
00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:29,680
Speaker 3: saw in my feed on YouTube this morning something about

77
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:31,120
Speaker 3: deep state, and I don't know if it's because I

78
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:33,720
Speaker 3: had just entered all the information in for this live

79
00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:38,560
Speaker 3: so it caught keystrokes and started serving me deep state stuff.

80
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:44,440
Speaker 3: But for it to lead to this seems seems about

81
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:47,640
Speaker 3: online it does changing everything else, Why not the Bible?

82
00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:51,320
Speaker 1: So Jan Conley says, the Bible doesn't change. People try

83
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:55,440
Speaker 1: to change it. God is constant. Anna Mendoza says God

84
00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:58,159
Speaker 1: is the same God from the Bible because he's the

85
00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:03,920
Speaker 1: everlasting one. And then there's some discussions. Christy says the

86
00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:09,080
Speaker 1: word of God does not change what the fluff says.

87
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:13,880
Speaker 1: There are so many manipulators now, and so to that

88
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:15,880
Speaker 1: to these people, and you know, we're kind of jumping

89
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:16,800
Speaker 1: in on this discussion.

90
00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:18,400
Speaker 2: We say, yes, but.

91
00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:21,839
Speaker 1: How do we know that practically, Like Jan says, the

92
00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:24,320
Speaker 1: Bible doesn't change change. People try to change it, but

93
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:27,080
Speaker 1: God is constant. And then Anna says, God's the same

94
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:30,760
Speaker 1: God from the Bible. Okay, but how do we know that.

95
00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:34,640
Speaker 1: Let's get let's get some practical reasons how we could

96
00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:37,320
Speaker 1: know that. And let's use this episode of this podcast,

97
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:40,000
Speaker 1: at least the first half before we answer questions, so

98
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:43,520
Speaker 1: that we could have a basic apologetic and that apologetic,

99
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:46,719
Speaker 1: that word means defending, so we could defend the faith,

100
00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:53,800
Speaker 1: not in a military way, but with gentleness and respect.

101
00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:58,200
Speaker 1: Let's defend, like Peter said, the faith. And we could

102
00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:01,320
Speaker 1: do this in really easy ways. So let's talk practically.

103
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:04,760
Speaker 1: Let's see if anyone else has chimed in on this.

104
00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:08,480
Speaker 1: Aslan Rising says, the devil has been twisting God's words

105
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:11,120
Speaker 1: since the garden and since we were born.

106
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:12,000
Speaker 2: Of our father.

107
00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:15,200
Speaker 1: The devil, those outside of Christ will seek to distort

108
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:18,400
Speaker 1: God's word and this includes making false translations. Okay, so

109
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:24,960
Speaker 1: let's talk about false translations. Twenty twenty four is a

110
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:29,719
Speaker 1: wonderful time to live in any religion. It's a wonderful

111
00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:32,400
Speaker 1: time to live because we have the Internet. We could

112
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:36,600
Speaker 1: research things, we could we could look to, we could

113
00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:41,760
Speaker 1: look at history, we could look to recent discoveries of

114
00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:46,240
Speaker 1: ancient things better with more knowledge and more efficiently than

115
00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:48,160
Speaker 1: any other generation before us.

116
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:49,360
Speaker 2: What a time to live.

117
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:53,039
Speaker 1: There's also a lot of responsibility on us because now

118
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:54,960
Speaker 1: we've been given a lot of information. What are we

119
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:56,960
Speaker 1: going to do with this? But here's the deal, y'all.

120
00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:04,039
Speaker 1: It boils down to this. Translations. Modern translations, good scholarly

121
00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:12,840
Speaker 1: modern translations are derived from early ancient text. They're not

122
00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:16,760
Speaker 1: they're not. It's not a game of telephone. You don't

123
00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:22,000
Speaker 1: have the the KJV and then was revised into the whatever.

124
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:24,320
Speaker 1: Then then that was revised into the whatever, and then

125
00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:26,920
Speaker 1: they use that to revise it into the whatever. Now,

126
00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:32,480
Speaker 1: modern scholarly translations always will use a team of scholars,

127
00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:36,080
Speaker 1: and they go back to the oldest manuscripts that we have,

128
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:41,320
Speaker 1: which are the fourth century and the three hundreds are

129
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:45,040
Speaker 1: our earliest manuscripts. And then we have fragments of manuscripts

130
00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:50,040
Speaker 1: all the way from the first century. So if a

131
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:53,920
Speaker 1: in these fragments are from all over Eastern Europe, the

132
00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:59,360
Speaker 1: Middle East, Africa. So when we get these fragments, and

133
00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:02,200
Speaker 1: we could look at them today and we could match

134
00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:05,120
Speaker 1: them to the early manuscripts, the complete manuscripts we have

135
00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:09,000
Speaker 1: from the fourth century, the Alexandrian text, or the oldest

136
00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:12,000
Speaker 1: we have. They were discovered in the eighteen hundreds, so

137
00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:15,840
Speaker 1: it's a more recent discovery than even the King James Bible. Right,

138
00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:18,560
Speaker 1: so we and then we look at it, and what

139
00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:21,320
Speaker 1: a miracle to look at the Alexandrian text and then

140
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:23,800
Speaker 1: look at the King James and go, oh wow, we

141
00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:29,320
Speaker 1: haven't lost any doctrine. These old manuscripts are still they're

142
00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:32,120
Speaker 1: still matching up to the oldest ones. We have the

143
00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:36,400
Speaker 1: text Us recept Us, which is where the King James

144
00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:39,920
Speaker 1: was derived from. And so when we look at these,

145
00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:43,240
Speaker 1: no doctrine is lost. There are words here and there,

146
00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:47,200
Speaker 1: there are verses. So in a modern English translation sometimes

147
00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:51,520
Speaker 1: like the EESV, you'll see a verse that's not there

148
00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:55,520
Speaker 1: that is there in the KJV. And some people use

149
00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:58,320
Speaker 1: that and they go, Sae, look that people are trying

150
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:02,240
Speaker 1: to deep state change change the Bible. But what's what's

151
00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:03,280
Speaker 1: actually happening there?

152
00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:05,200
Speaker 2: And if you have a good if.

153
00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:09,240
Speaker 1: You have a good Bible, it should say earlier. It

154
00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:14,600
Speaker 1: says earlier manuscripts. Earliest manuscripts have left out and then

155
00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:17,679
Speaker 1: it says the word or the line that you might

156
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:21,360
Speaker 1: see in for instance, the KJV, and so you could

157
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:23,440
Speaker 1: take it or leave it. None of those times does

158
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:26,920
Speaker 1: it ever say something that changes something about who God is.

159
00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:31,920
Speaker 1: It's something, it's just something more trivial. But what they're

160
00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:34,160
Speaker 1: trying to do is they're trying to go I think

161
00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:37,040
Speaker 1: this was added later. I think this was added in

162
00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:42,920
Speaker 1: the tenth century. But for clarity, some monk, some scribe

163
00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:47,560
Speaker 1: added a line for clarity for the people of that village.

164
00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:53,320
Speaker 1: An earlier manuscript doesn't have that clarity. So let's trust

165
00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:57,160
Speaker 1: the earlier manuscript. That's my thinking. Let's trust the oldest

166
00:09:57,480 --> 00:10:01,000
Speaker 1: collection of manuscripts that that all test to each other.

167
00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:04,559
Speaker 1: But then you could look at the added line from

168
00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:06,760
Speaker 1: the scribe and you don't have to just say it's

169
00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:12,200
Speaker 1: heresy or anything. But I'm trying to debunk the idea that, yes,

170
00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:15,440
Speaker 1: the Bible does change. But my argument is it changes

171
00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:20,760
Speaker 1: for the better. Sure, because they're making more recent archaeological discoveries,

172
00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:24,400
Speaker 1: which we have twenty over twenty five thousand pieces of

173
00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:26,440
Speaker 1: the Bible that date all the way back to the

174
00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:29,480
Speaker 1: first century. So anyone that wants to say a deep

175
00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:33,480
Speaker 1: state's changing it, the Bible's changing. There's a conspiracy that people.

176
00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:35,760
Speaker 1: All you gotta do is go, let's go to a

177
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:40,160
Speaker 1: local museum and let's pull out the Greek translator on

178
00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:42,600
Speaker 1: our phone and as look at these ancient texts and

179
00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:45,200
Speaker 1: see if John ten is the same as the John

180
00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:48,400
Speaker 1: ten we see in her Bible. It's that easy in

181
00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:50,200
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four, Parker, you got anything.

182
00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:55,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think it's something that's really important to consider.

183
00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:58,920
Speaker 4: And I'm glad that people are even thinking about it

184
00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:02,640
Speaker 4: and talking about it, because it's really easy, especially us

185
00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:08,280
Speaker 4: being in the Bible Belt, to just affirm, to affirm

186
00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:15,160
Speaker 4: the Bible or God without looking into you know, what

187
00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:17,480
Speaker 4: am I reading and where did it come from? And

188
00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:21,320
Speaker 4: do I have an answer for people who like, there

189
00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:23,679
Speaker 4: are it's not just have blind faith.

190
00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:24,440
Speaker 2: Don't worry about it.

191
00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:28,640
Speaker 4: You know, there are his you know, reliable historical documents

192
00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:31,640
Speaker 4: that backscripture. And that's one of the things that early

193
00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:35,160
Speaker 4: in my in my becoming a Christian in twenty twenty one,

194
00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:39,440
Speaker 4: that I couldn't I couldn't believe how many intelligent people,

195
00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:47,040
Speaker 4: how many historians affirmed the Bible, the God of the Bible.

196
00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:50,440
Speaker 4: I always thought it was anti science, anti history. And

197
00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:52,760
Speaker 4: I remember hearing Tim Keller one time and he said,

198
00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:56,479
Speaker 4: there's a million things you could argue about the reliability

199
00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:59,480
Speaker 4: of scripture, of things that you think may think contradict

200
00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:01,920
Speaker 4: of things that you may think don't work with our

201
00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:05,160
Speaker 4: practical world. But he said, I challenge you to just

202
00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:08,160
Speaker 4: do three things. To Number one, just look at the gospels.

203
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:13,040
Speaker 4: The Gospels are about the life of Jesus Christ, and

204
00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:16,800
Speaker 4: you need to ask yourself, can I trust these gospels?

205
00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:20,000
Speaker 4: Who wrote these and when? And can we just practically

206
00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:22,960
Speaker 4: trust who wrote these? And if the answer is yes,

207
00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:27,199
Speaker 4: then that means that what's in Matthew Mark, Luke John

208
00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:30,560
Speaker 4: is history. Is it reliable, who wrote it when? And

209
00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:33,600
Speaker 4: if you can affirm it yes, this is history, then

210
00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:36,560
Speaker 4: you need to make a decision about who is Jesus

211
00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:40,040
Speaker 4: claiming to be. When you read Jesus talking about himself,

212
00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:41,560
Speaker 4: who is he claiming to be? Is he just a

213
00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:45,720
Speaker 4: prophet like every other good religion says, or is he

214
00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:49,760
Speaker 4: claiming to be the son of God on whom he

215
00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:52,840
Speaker 4: bore the sins of the world of those who had

216
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:55,720
Speaker 4: trust in him and he's the only way? And then

217
00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:58,280
Speaker 4: number three, you have to decide. So number one, are

218
00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:01,720
Speaker 4: the Gospels historically reliable? Number two? Who is Jesus claiming

219
00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:05,040
Speaker 4: to be? And then number three, what's my decision going

220
00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:07,200
Speaker 4: to be about him? Am I going to follow him?

221
00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:08,320
Speaker 3: Or am I not?

222
00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:09,800
Speaker 2: Uh?

223
00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:12,520
Speaker 4: So that that's just like a really good practical way

224
00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:14,360
Speaker 4: to think about it, because it can be really overwhelming,

225
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:16,160
Speaker 4: but I think you described it really well. And then

226
00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:18,400
Speaker 4: and then lastly, I'll just say a really good resource

227
00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:21,359
Speaker 4: for that. It's a book called Can We Trust the Gospels?

228
00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:23,640
Speaker 4: It's just called Can We Trust the Gospels. It's a

229
00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:27,280
Speaker 4: really short read, and from my mind, I'm sure everybody's different.

230
00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:32,160
Speaker 4: I love listening to like like you and like aunt

231
00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:36,120
Speaker 4: historians practically talk about these writings and where they came

232
00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:38,640
Speaker 4: from and if we can trust them, because if they're true,

233
00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:42,400
Speaker 4: just really practically, then Christianity is true and we should

234
00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:43,920
Speaker 4: we should make a decision about it.

235
00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:50,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, you're so right. The I saw one

236
00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:55,240
Speaker 1: on here, Oh Joe, Joe, Mama says, my Bible says

237
00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:57,320
Speaker 1: a king it's King James version, but inside it says

238
00:13:57,320 --> 00:14:00,520
Speaker 1: translated by Prince James. That's don't know what that is,

239
00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:03,120
Speaker 1: but you should throw that Bible out King James didn't

240
00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:07,440
Speaker 1: translate anything. He did commission a group of scholars to

241
00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:14,800
Speaker 1: work on translating from the Latin. And so if we should,

242
00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:17,040
Speaker 1: we should live in twenty twenty four and rejoice that

243
00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:21,239
Speaker 1: we have access to all kinds of really really solid information.

244
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:23,920
Speaker 1: And like Parker said, it's just it shouldn't be a mystery.

245
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:26,040
Speaker 1: But yet you should question those things. I think it's

246
00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:28,760
Speaker 1: really good that it would be really weird to just go

247
00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:34,200
Speaker 1: I trust this, why because everyone says to trust it. No,

248
00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:38,440
Speaker 1: we could actually know some things that The History of

249
00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:41,960
Speaker 1: the Bible Museum in Washington, d C. Has some really good,

250
00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:48,360
Speaker 1: some really good fragments of text that's just fascinating to

251
00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:50,720
Speaker 1: stand there. It's from the Book of John. I think

252
00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:54,440
Speaker 1: it's I think it's John eight. I can't remember, but

253
00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:56,680
Speaker 1: the one that's currently on display in the History of

254
00:14:56,680 --> 00:14:59,160
Speaker 1: the Bible Museum, it's a fragment from John eight. And

255
00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:01,840
Speaker 1: there it is right there in the Greek and you

256
00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:04,600
Speaker 1: go and you could look at your phone and look

257
00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:07,520
Speaker 1: at a translator and go, that's the same. That's the

258
00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:11,600
Speaker 1: same as we have today. That's a miracle we have.

259
00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:15,640
Speaker 3: We have some missionaries at our church that are currently

260
00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:22,520
Speaker 3: translating the Bible into a language that it has never

261
00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:26,760
Speaker 3: been translated to. So they kind of spoke recently of

262
00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:29,640
Speaker 3: how they're doing it, and it is literally word for word,

263
00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:33,360
Speaker 3: line by line. A couple people will be assigned to

264
00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:36,200
Speaker 3: a certain section and they'll do that, but then that

265
00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:41,280
Speaker 3: section goes to several other people who double, triple, quadruple

266
00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:45,840
Speaker 3: check line by line, word by word, chapter by chapter,

267
00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:49,400
Speaker 3: book by book, and it's I mean, it takes forever.

268
00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:53,600
Speaker 3: And think of how how quickly it actually is in

269
00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:56,160
Speaker 3: twenty twenty four with all the resources that we do have.

270
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:00,640
Speaker 3: It makes me appreciate the ones who came before them,

271
00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:03,600
Speaker 3: and I obviously appreciate them doing this right now. To

272
00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:06,080
Speaker 3: know that there's a language right now that doesn't have

273
00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:08,760
Speaker 3: the Bible and there they've been called to do that,

274
00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:11,160
Speaker 3: I thought was fascinating to kind of hear how, even

275
00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:14,120
Speaker 3: in this day and age, how meticulous they are with

276
00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:16,080
Speaker 3: making sure that every single word is right.

277
00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:17,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's incredible.

278
00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:21,120
Speaker 1: Aslan Rising says, it's important to distinguish between changing of

279
00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:23,600
Speaker 1: translations and the changing of the original text, and yeah,

280
00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:26,000
Speaker 1: that's a great point because when you when you say

281
00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:29,840
Speaker 1: that the Bible is the Word of God. We say amen,

282
00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:32,240
Speaker 1: but what we mean is the inspired word of it

283
00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:37,280
Speaker 1: from the original authors, not whatever current translation you're holding,

284
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:41,560
Speaker 1: because you could actually be holding a heresy translation. I

285
00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:47,680
Speaker 1: highly discouraged. The passion translation highly trand the message message,

286
00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:48,720
Speaker 1: the message.

287
00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:48,840
Speaker 2: Is another one.

288
00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:51,840
Speaker 1: I'm highly discouraged. And especially if it comes the translation

289
00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:55,280
Speaker 1: is coming from one person. That's that's a big it's

290
00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:57,520
Speaker 1: a big red flag right there. So you don't hold

291
00:16:57,560 --> 00:16:59,600
Speaker 1: the message and go, this is the word of God

292
00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:02,280
Speaker 1: the Bible. Only half of what you're saying is true.

293
00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:05,960
Speaker 1: Asland makes a great point that we're talking about the

294
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:09,560
Speaker 1: original inspired word of it. Now we also have great

295
00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:14,000
Speaker 1: evidence that that that word has been preserved. And besides

296
00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:17,240
Speaker 1: the fact that God says his word will be preserved,

297
00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:20,280
Speaker 1: we actually, we actually have great history of showing how

298
00:17:20,320 --> 00:17:21,119
Speaker 1: this is working.

299
00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:24,080
Speaker 2: And where are we on time? We're about twenty minutes in.

300
00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:27,119
Speaker 1: All right, let's do you want to you want to

301
00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:30,280
Speaker 1: read a word from the sponsor and get to some questions.

302
00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:31,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, sounds good to me.

303
00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:35,600
Speaker 1: Well, I want to say that over the years, if

304
00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:37,560
Speaker 1: I look all the way back to the to two

305
00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:40,639
Speaker 1: thousand and two when I first started grangersmith dot com,

306
00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:42,520
Speaker 1: I never would have known that I would need an

307
00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:46,000
Speaker 1: e commerce company to go along with that. In fact,

308
00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:49,120
Speaker 1: there there are there's there's so many times I look

309
00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:51,040
Speaker 1: and I go, I just want to be creative. I

310
00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:53,240
Speaker 1: want to I want to be able to support the podcast.

311

356
00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:24,000
Speaker 1: the podcast at grangersmith dot com email. The first one

357
00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:28,520
Speaker 1: comes from Jacob and it says, Hey, granger I'm glad

358
00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:30,800
Speaker 1: to have the chance to send this to you. A

359
00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:34,000
Speaker 1: little overview of myself. I am twenty two years old,

360
00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:36,440
Speaker 1: a native of Texas, and I've been in the United

361
00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:37,240
Speaker 1: States Marine.

362
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:38,320
Speaker 2: Corps for about three years.

363
00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:42,360
Speaker 1: I've always considered myself a Christian, but recently I've had

364
00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:46,560
Speaker 1: life situations that have challenged my faith, such as the depths,

365
00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:50,080
Speaker 1: the deaths of four of my marines and a buddy

366
00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:52,639
Speaker 1: from back home in a car accident, and less than

367
00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:56,520
Speaker 1: a year five friends have already passed away. Just a

368
00:20:56,520 --> 00:21:00,000
Speaker 1: few days ago, my mother received a breast cancer diagnosis.

369
00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:04,480
Speaker 1: I think everything going on has waken me up and

370
00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:07,720
Speaker 1: away and showed me how much of life as a

371
00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:10,240
Speaker 1: gift and that it really can be taken away in

372
00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:13,200
Speaker 1: an instant. I've been pushing myself to read the Gospel

373
00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:15,720
Speaker 1: and understand more. I finished the Gospel of John and

374
00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:18,520
Speaker 1: now reading into Matthew. I know God is there, but

375
00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:20,800
Speaker 1: I feel like my faith has been going up and down.

376
00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:21,520
Speaker 2: I'm struggling.

377
00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:27,159
Speaker 1: How do I hear slash, feel the Lord more and

378
00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:29,720
Speaker 1: find the right direction. If you see this, thank you.

379
00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:31,440
Speaker 1: I've been a fan and I hope your family's doing well.

380
00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:31,919
Speaker 2: Jacob.

381
00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:37,560
Speaker 1: All right, Jacob, So you emailed at an interesting time

382
00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:43,160
Speaker 1: because Park and I are reading Dietrich Bonhoeffer that addresses

383
00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:47,440
Speaker 1: this exact question, what do you do when your faith

384
00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:53,120
Speaker 1: seems to be going up and down? I have I'm

385
00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:57,720
Speaker 1: going to be bringing a message to Pensacola Sunday night.

386
00:21:58,480 --> 00:22:00,560
Speaker 1: It's like they're calling it like a fall kick off.

387
00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:04,320
Speaker 1: It's the first Baptist Pensacola, and I'm gonna I'm gonna

388
00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:09,840
Speaker 1: bring the message of Basically, it's I'm gonna tell my story,

389
00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:13,359
Speaker 1: and I have three points in my story, which is

390
00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:17,199
Speaker 1: gonna be a devastating day and the farious night in

391
00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:21,639
Speaker 1: Americle morning. And then from those three points in my story,

392
00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:25,520
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go into three calls to action for me

393
00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:30,000
Speaker 1: and everyone else every other Christian, and the three calls

394
00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:36,840
Speaker 1: to action are going to be surrender, equip, follow, surrender,

395
00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:39,800
Speaker 1: equip follow, And so basically the way I want to

396
00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:43,000
Speaker 1: unpack that is kind of like you're asking this question, Jacob,

397
00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:46,639
Speaker 1: what do you do when life's coming at you. You

398
00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:50,920
Speaker 1: realize the the how fragile it is. Your mom just

399
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:54,120
Speaker 1: got this cancer diagnosis. You've got buddies that have died

400
00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:58,080
Speaker 1: in the Marine Corps. You recognize that life's a vapor.

401
00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:02,400
Speaker 1: You recognize that they're something else out there. There's there's

402
00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:08,000
Speaker 1: more to this life than live and die today. And

403
00:23:08,040 --> 00:23:11,600
Speaker 1: so you rightly so push yourself towards the gospel, thinking

404
00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:16,080
Speaker 1: that you're going to equip yourself and understand more. And

405
00:23:16,119 --> 00:23:18,280
Speaker 1: you read the Gospel of John. Now you're reading Matthew

406
00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:22,040
Speaker 1: with the idea of equipping. So that's equipping and and

407
00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:26,160
Speaker 1: that's that is your training. The Bible says that all

408
00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:31,440
Speaker 1: scriptures breed that by God and profitable for training in righteousness,

409
00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:34,320
Speaker 1: so that the man may be they may be complete equip.

410
00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:34,800
Speaker 2: For every good work.

411
00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:40,600
Speaker 1: Okay, so that's good, but but so many times the

412
00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:46,040
Speaker 1: component the call to action that's missing is follow. Jesus

413
00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:50,040
Speaker 1: calls all of his disciples the same way. Follow me

414
00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:54,240
Speaker 1: and they drop their nets, they leave the tax booth,

415
00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:57,720
Speaker 1: whatever they're doing at the time, and they take a

416
00:23:57,840 --> 00:24:03,959
Speaker 1: step in obedience. And the step in obedience is faith.

417
00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:08,000
Speaker 1: It's the display of faith. Faith and faith is an action,

418
00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:12,320
Speaker 1: not a noun. So taking the step of faith, taking

419
00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:16,720
Speaker 1: the step of inobedience is faith, just as faith is

420
00:24:16,760 --> 00:24:20,000
Speaker 1: a step in obedience. Those two things go hand in hand.

421
00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:23,359
Speaker 1: So if you stand in on a crossroads like you are, Jacob,

422
00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:27,920
Speaker 1: and you're going, I'm equipping myself. I've surrendered to Jesus,

423
00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:33,520
Speaker 1: my Lord, what do I do? And to that, Jesus says,

424
00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:35,440
Speaker 1: just like he said to the disciples, like he said

425
00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:39,520
Speaker 1: to the rich young ruler, he says, follow me. So

426
00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:43,240
Speaker 1: you read his gospel. And as you read the Gospel

427
00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:45,480
Speaker 1: of John, and as you read the Gospel of Matthew,

428
00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:48,880
Speaker 1: like you're doing, my challenge to you is read it

429
00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:54,640
Speaker 1: and do it. This is love that you keep his commandments,

430
00:24:54,680 --> 00:24:58,679
Speaker 1: and his commandments are not burdensome. John says, So don't

431
00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:03,919
Speaker 1: just read, don't just equip. Read and equip with the

432
00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:07,600
Speaker 1: intention of doing, because in the doing, in the obedience,

433
00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:12,359
Speaker 1: it is faith. In fact, Bonhaffer, Dietrich Bonhaffer, who park

434
00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:12,960
Speaker 1: and our reading?

435
00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:14,000
Speaker 2: You're still reading.

436
00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:20,959
Speaker 1: He says something fascinating. He says, obedience. The step in obedience,

437
00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:29,520
Speaker 1: the answering the call, makes faith possible. And that's a

438
00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:32,320
Speaker 1: fascinating thought. And so then I think about we went

439
00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:36,520
Speaker 1: to eastern Tennessee and my kids were doing this ziplining

440
00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:39,639
Speaker 1: through the forest. And when you stand up on that

441
00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:41,560
Speaker 1: platform and you look out into the trees and you

442
00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:47,280
Speaker 1: see this just vast open space, and it's terrifying. And

443
00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:48,800
Speaker 1: you look at your harness, and you look at the

444
00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:51,879
Speaker 1: rope you're in, and you go, that doesn't give me

445
00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:55,159
Speaker 1: enough faith. There's only one way to have faith in

446
00:25:55,160 --> 00:26:00,360
Speaker 1: a zipline, only one way to take this step and

447
00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:05,120
Speaker 1: jump off the platform, throwing all your weight into that line.

448
00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:08,000
Speaker 1: And then you look up and you go, I believe.

449
00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:09,439
Speaker 4: I'm believe.

450
00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:14,920
Speaker 1: I believe now I have faith. Now the obedience makes

451
00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:19,640
Speaker 1: the faith possible. So Jacob read Matthew like you're doing,

452
00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:25,600
Speaker 1: and then do it what you got.

453
00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:29,800
Speaker 4: I was gonna ask you, Okay, so what's your practical

454
00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:32,080
Speaker 4: advice for Jacob when he wakes up tomorrow morning? He

455
00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:34,520
Speaker 4: wants to feel God more God feels distant, which is

456
00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:40,320
Speaker 4: pretty much the trend that I hear almost every other day.

457
00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:41,320
Speaker 2: It seems like.

458
00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:44,959
Speaker 4: Once you're a little bit more vocal about your Christianity,

459
00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:48,520
Speaker 4: people then start coming to you, especially in the South,

460
00:26:48,560 --> 00:26:52,480
Speaker 4: like I keep saying, where most people affirm the existence

461
00:26:52,520 --> 00:26:56,640
Speaker 4: of God. But then there, you know, some life circumstance happens.

462
00:26:56,840 --> 00:27:01,520
Speaker 4: They get fired, there's a divorce, what a good friend

463
00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:06,040
Speaker 4: passes away, some trial happens, and they start considering their

464
00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:08,960
Speaker 4: own death the meaning of life, and they're like, yeah,

465
00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:10,960
Speaker 4: I believe in God, but like he feels distant.

466
00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:11,240
Speaker 2: You know.

467
00:27:11,320 --> 00:27:13,919
Speaker 4: They listen to every Morgan Wallen song that says I

468
00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:16,120
Speaker 4: know I should be reading those letters and read more,

469
00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:19,800
Speaker 4: but you know, I'm out on Saturday night, you know,

470
00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:22,200
Speaker 4: doing this or that, and I know I should be

471
00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:24,560
Speaker 4: the up early on set Sunday mornings more. But it's

472
00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:28,159
Speaker 4: so anyway, all that to say is, yeah, I just

473
00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:30,440
Speaker 4: feel like that's a really common trend of people listening.

474
00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:32,399
Speaker 4: They're like, yeah, I get it, I believe in God,

475
00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:35,360
Speaker 4: but like I don't really feel it. So, like you said,

476
00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:39,520
Speaker 4: I think that's good practical advice of Like, typically what

477
00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:41,040
Speaker 4: I do to people these days is like I go

478
00:27:41,119 --> 00:27:44,359
Speaker 4: to John three and I read about Nicodemus meeting with

479
00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:47,080
Speaker 4: Jesus in the middle of the night, and then they're

480
00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:49,760
Speaker 4: talking about the Kingdom of God and salvation, and Jesus says,

481
00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:52,400
Speaker 4: you must be born again. And I think that that's

482
00:27:52,440 --> 00:27:55,760
Speaker 4: where it starts. Is we have to ask ourselves very practically,

483
00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:58,760
Speaker 4: what is a Christian? How do you become a Christian?

484
00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:03,600
Speaker 4: And then what does the Christian life look like? And

485
00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:05,320
Speaker 4: I think what you said is important. It's like, yeah,

486
00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:07,199
Speaker 4: you need to be obedient, you need to listen to

487
00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:08,920
Speaker 4: the Word. And then another real sense, you need to

488
00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:11,760
Speaker 4: ask yourself have I been born again? Which is the

489
00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:16,280
Speaker 4: really uncomfy religious question that no one likes to talk about,

490
00:28:17,040 --> 00:28:19,480
Speaker 4: but it's what the scripture says. You must be born again.

491
00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:23,040
Speaker 4: You need a new heart in order to enjoy and

492
00:28:23,119 --> 00:28:26,800
Speaker 4: read the word of God, to enjoy church. And God

493
00:28:26,880 --> 00:28:28,560
Speaker 4: will give you a new heart if you surrender to

494
00:28:28,640 --> 00:28:31,399
Speaker 4: Him and put your faith in His son for the

495
00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:33,480
Speaker 4: forgiveness of your sins. And he says that he'll give

496
00:28:33,520 --> 00:28:36,359
Speaker 4: you a new heart once you seek refuge in Christ,

497
00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:39,920
Speaker 4: knowing the wrath that you deserve. You deserve hell, but

498
00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:41,320
Speaker 4: in his mercy he sent Christ.

499
00:28:42,760 --> 00:28:45,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the gospel. What do you got to ant on?

500
00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:51,920
Speaker 3: This's what's the Indiana Jones movie where he can't see it,

501
00:28:52,080 --> 00:28:54,720
Speaker 3: just a pit that goes all the way down. But

502
00:28:54,800 --> 00:28:58,800
Speaker 3: when he takes a step, he finds himself last crusade,

503
00:28:58,880 --> 00:29:03,240
Speaker 3: Last Crusade. That's what I visually see when we're talking

504
00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:07,440
Speaker 3: about faith and faith, and particularly faith in action, practical

505
00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:12,040
Speaker 3: faith in action. It's a step in the into the unknown.

506
00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:17,560
Speaker 3: It's a step into what doesn't feel comfortable. And oftentimes

507
00:29:17,600 --> 00:29:22,200
Speaker 3: I think, like for Jacob who he was, was do

508
00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:29,640
Speaker 3: and then reform. Do first put your faith in action.

509
00:29:29,800 --> 00:29:32,080
Speaker 3: And it's going to be like a toddler learning to walk.

510
00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:33,600
Speaker 2: You're going to.

511
00:29:33,760 --> 00:29:36,160
Speaker 3: Trip, you're gonna fall, you're gonna stumble, you're gonna look

512
00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:38,160
Speaker 3: like a fool. And if you can get past that,

513
00:29:38,520 --> 00:29:42,320
Speaker 3: the more that you do, the more you will start moving.

514
00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:46,520
Speaker 3: It just just naturally move into what God has for you.

515
00:29:47,320 --> 00:29:53,000
Speaker 3: But it often takes you doing something in faith before.

516
00:29:53,240 --> 00:29:55,520
Speaker 3: If you sit and you talk about it for so long,

517
00:29:56,200 --> 00:29:57,880
Speaker 3: you just sit and talk about it, and there's never

518
00:29:57,920 --> 00:30:00,680
Speaker 3: there's never but faith with that works. There's a Rich

519
00:30:00,760 --> 00:30:03,480
Speaker 3: Mullen song a long time ago. Faith with that works

520
00:30:05,120 --> 00:30:08,320
Speaker 3: is like a screen door on a submarine. It's useless,

521
00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:12,200
Speaker 3: it doesn't work. And so that's often what I think

522
00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:15,720
Speaker 3: being practical with our faith is, well, I don't know

523
00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:18,440
Speaker 3: are you doing anything? If you're not pick something and

524
00:30:18,480 --> 00:30:20,640
Speaker 3: do it doesn't have to be in line with YEA.

525
00:30:21,040 --> 00:30:23,440
Speaker 1: So people might be saying like what, Well, yes, you

526
00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:27,360
Speaker 1: could start with uh coveting with a local body, meaning

527
00:30:28,600 --> 00:30:32,080
Speaker 1: being in a meaningful relationship or a meaningful membership at

528
00:30:32,120 --> 00:30:35,960
Speaker 1: a local church. That's a that's a good step towards obedience.

529
00:30:37,480 --> 00:30:42,240
Speaker 1: You could you could start reading, making a consistent reading plan,

530
00:30:42,600 --> 00:30:45,520
Speaker 1: picking up where you left off yesterday, so that you

531
00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:48,760
Speaker 1: could be equipped for every good work that is prepared

532
00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:53,479
Speaker 1: beforehand for you. That's a good step and obedience. And

533
00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:57,040
Speaker 1: then you could start looking. You could start looking at

534
00:30:57,040 --> 00:31:00,120
Speaker 1: your friends and realizing that being around bad company and

535
00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:02,600
Speaker 1: he corrupts good character. So you go, okay, I'm not

536
00:31:03,040 --> 00:31:05,240
Speaker 1: I'm gonna need some new friends, but that that comes

537
00:31:05,280 --> 00:31:08,440
Speaker 1: from the meaningful relationship at the church, so that we

538
00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:10,800
Speaker 1: could sit here for and give a quickly give a

539
00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:15,959
Speaker 1: hundred things to act as a next step and obedience.

540
00:31:16,240 --> 00:31:17,840
Speaker 1: And we think about Peter when he was on the

541
00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:20,560
Speaker 1: boat and the sea was raging around him, and he

542
00:31:20,560 --> 00:31:24,080
Speaker 1: sees Jesus in the dark walking on the water. Peter

543
00:31:24,160 --> 00:31:26,160
Speaker 1: stands up and says, Lord called to me, and I'll

544
00:31:26,200 --> 00:31:26,560
Speaker 1: come to you.

545
00:31:27,560 --> 00:31:28,480
Speaker 2: Jesus says, come.

546
00:31:29,320 --> 00:31:33,680
Speaker 1: So Peter has a choice here, stay in the boat

547
00:31:34,160 --> 00:31:36,400
Speaker 1: or take a step into what would be surely death

548
00:31:36,480 --> 00:31:40,480
Speaker 1: without faith, into a raging sea, probably had no ability

549
00:31:40,520 --> 00:31:41,120
Speaker 1: to swim.

550
00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:42,000
Speaker 2: He's gone.

551
00:31:42,760 --> 00:31:47,200
Speaker 1: He takes the step and obedience towards Christ from the call,

552
00:31:47,680 --> 00:31:50,640
Speaker 1: putting the emphasis on the call of Christ, not on

553
00:31:50,680 --> 00:31:54,760
Speaker 1: his own effort or courage, not his own bravery. That

554
00:31:54,840 --> 00:31:56,880
Speaker 1: he's putting his faith in. He's putting his faith in

555
00:31:57,080 --> 00:32:02,320
Speaker 1: the one who called him to step and steps and

556
00:32:02,360 --> 00:32:04,280
Speaker 1: he walks on the water. And as soon as Peter

557
00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:06,480
Speaker 1: hits that water and it's it's hard, and he walks

558
00:32:06,520 --> 00:32:08,480
Speaker 1: on it. You know, at that point he said, I

559
00:32:08,560 --> 00:32:12,080
Speaker 1: believe there's my faith. The step made the faith active. No,

560
00:32:12,120 --> 00:32:15,360
Speaker 1: we know later in the story he loses his his eyesight,

561
00:32:15,440 --> 00:32:19,040
Speaker 1: he loses his vision, and he starts to sink. But

562
00:32:19,040 --> 00:32:22,040
Speaker 1: but the important part is it took it required the step.

563
00:32:22,160 --> 00:32:25,240
Speaker 1: So Jacob, Jacob take the step, and then let's move

564
00:32:25,240 --> 00:32:28,479
Speaker 1: on another question because I want to I don't want

565
00:32:28,520 --> 00:32:31,080
Speaker 1: to sit too long on Jacob and you let me

566
00:32:31,120 --> 00:32:31,880
Speaker 1: know if.

567
00:32:31,840 --> 00:32:33,680
Speaker 2: Do you want to take one from here? Yes, there's

568
00:32:34,120 --> 00:32:34,760
Speaker 2: we do have one.

569
00:32:34,760 --> 00:32:36,160
Speaker 3: It'll take a second for to pop up for you.

570
00:32:36,240 --> 00:32:40,560
Speaker 3: But Techonator thinks it's from.

571
00:32:40,480 --> 00:32:42,000
Speaker 2: Read the question to me. What you got? Okay?

572
00:32:42,280 --> 00:32:45,160
Speaker 3: Yes, hey Granger, I appreciate your videos each week. Had

573
00:32:45,200 --> 00:32:48,240
Speaker 3: a question about your recent comment on the Sabbath being

574
00:32:48,280 --> 00:32:50,800
Speaker 3: on Sunday versus Saturday. Could you expound on.

575
00:32:50,760 --> 00:32:56,160
Speaker 1: That, Well, this this could be its own podcast, and

576
00:32:56,200 --> 00:32:59,920
Speaker 1: maybe it should be one day. But one thing one

577
00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:03,920
Speaker 1: that's really really neat to see now is, first of all,

578
00:33:03,920 --> 00:33:06,680
Speaker 1: we know that the Lord was resurrected on the third Day,

579
00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:10,960
Speaker 1: which was a Sunday, and Christians look at that as

580
00:33:11,120 --> 00:33:13,480
Speaker 1: instead of a Sabbath day, we look at that as

581
00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:17,120
Speaker 1: the Lord's Day, meaning it is the day of the Lord,

582
00:33:17,440 --> 00:33:21,000
Speaker 1: it is the day of renewal. There's freshness in a Sunday,

583
00:33:21,040 --> 00:33:25,520
Speaker 1: it's the beginning, just in representation of the new beginning

584
00:33:25,600 --> 00:33:31,720
Speaker 1: of the resurrection. But besides the symbolic meaning of Sunday gathering,

585
00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:35,440
Speaker 1: because I don't necessarily we have to say Sunday is

586
00:33:35,480 --> 00:33:38,080
Speaker 1: the Sabbath. I think we could get a little bit

587
00:33:38,120 --> 00:33:41,880
Speaker 1: into trouble with that because the Sabbath was clearly Saturday.

588
00:33:41,440 --> 00:33:42,400
Speaker 2: In the Old Testament.

589
00:33:43,480 --> 00:33:48,960
Speaker 1: So if you go to Jerusalem right now, it's clearly Saturday. Yes,

590
00:33:50,680 --> 00:33:55,520
Speaker 1: So our sabbath rest is Jesus, who says, come to me,

591
00:33:56,440 --> 00:33:59,160
Speaker 1: all you who are weary and burdened, and I will

592
00:33:59,200 --> 00:34:03,040
Speaker 1: give you rest. I'll give you rest. Rest in me.

593
00:34:03,400 --> 00:34:07,000
Speaker 1: I am the rest that you need. I am the Sabbath.

594
00:34:07,800 --> 00:34:11,000
Speaker 1: So for Christians, Jesus is the Sabbath. Once again, it

595
00:34:11,040 --> 00:34:14,120
Speaker 1: would take a whole podcast to unpack how we can't

596
00:34:14,120 --> 00:34:16,960
Speaker 1: just skirt around that and just and act like that

597
00:34:17,080 --> 00:34:20,320
Speaker 1: requires nothing of us, because the Sabbath was a wonderful

598
00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:24,000
Speaker 1: thing that required a lot from the people to show sacrifice.

599
00:34:24,120 --> 00:34:28,160
Speaker 1: Let's not get into that. Let's do the quicker answer is,

600
00:34:28,200 --> 00:34:31,239
Speaker 1: as we look back on church history, all the way

601
00:34:31,280 --> 00:34:35,760
Speaker 1: back to the first century, Christians were gathering on Sunday morning,

602
00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:40,480
Speaker 1: all the way back to the apostle John himself, who

603
00:34:40,600 --> 00:34:44,280
Speaker 1: is the old Elder, the one that we believe actually

604
00:34:44,320 --> 00:34:47,200
Speaker 1: set the Church as we know it in motion with

605
00:34:47,280 --> 00:34:51,200
Speaker 1: a reading of scripture, an application to the hearers, the

606
00:34:51,239 --> 00:34:55,120
Speaker 1: breaking of bread, the taking of the sacraments in wine

607
00:34:55,120 --> 00:34:59,160
Speaker 1: and bread, and baptism as well, all that was done

608
00:34:59,560 --> 00:35:03,840
Speaker 1: on morning. We read from John excuse me, from Justin Martyr,

609
00:35:04,160 --> 00:35:07,960
Speaker 1: who was one of the earliest to write about the

610
00:35:08,040 --> 00:35:10,040
Speaker 1: Christian gathering, and it was a Sunday. So we look

611
00:35:10,160 --> 00:35:13,120
Speaker 1: back and we go It's always been done on Sunday,

612
00:35:13,239 --> 00:35:15,800
Speaker 1: even back to the apostle John himself who walked with Jesus.

613
00:35:15,920 --> 00:35:17,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, we should do it on Sunday.

614
00:35:18,040 --> 00:35:20,719
Speaker 1: In the discussion at that point, we could open up

615
00:35:20,719 --> 00:35:23,800
Speaker 1: another podcast episode if we want to get more into that.

616
00:35:23,800 --> 00:35:26,000
Speaker 2: That's a good question. Though, it's a great question.

617
00:35:26,200 --> 00:35:27,600
Speaker 1: It kind of goes back to the theme of this

618
00:35:27,600 --> 00:35:30,799
Speaker 1: podcast about can we trust the Bible. We shouldn't just

619
00:35:30,880 --> 00:35:33,360
Speaker 1: go I gather on a church on Sunday.

620
00:35:34,360 --> 00:35:37,000
Speaker 2: Cool. I'm good with that. We should say why.

621
00:35:37,800 --> 00:35:40,320
Speaker 1: I think it's healthy to say why.

622
00:35:40,480 --> 00:35:41,200
Speaker 4: Why do we do it?

623
00:35:41,280 --> 00:35:42,560
Speaker 2: Why do we do it this way?

624
00:35:42,840 --> 00:35:44,239
Speaker 1: It can get us into a lot of trouble if

625
00:35:44,640 --> 00:35:48,120
Speaker 1: our answer is always just just tradition, I don't really

626
00:35:48,160 --> 00:35:49,600
Speaker 1: know why.

627
00:35:49,719 --> 00:35:53,439
Speaker 2: Yes, you can, and you should know why. There's twenty

628
00:35:53,520 --> 00:35:54,000
Speaker 2: twenty four.

629
00:35:55,880 --> 00:35:56,879
Speaker 3: We have time for one more.

630
00:35:57,040 --> 00:35:57,680
Speaker 2: Do you want to do it?

631
00:35:57,760 --> 00:35:57,920
Speaker 1: More?

632
00:35:58,040 --> 00:36:00,280
Speaker 2: From the Rosy.

633
00:36:01,080 --> 00:36:03,680
Speaker 1: This comes from Anonymous. Thanks for your amazing podcast. I'm

634
00:36:03,680 --> 00:36:05,480
Speaker 1: so thankful for the truth that you put out each

635
00:36:05,680 --> 00:36:08,279
Speaker 1: each and every week. I love Yegee merch and I

636
00:36:08,320 --> 00:36:11,560
Speaker 1: bought this summer launch. I thought I would start my

637
00:36:11,640 --> 00:36:14,560
Speaker 1: question with some context. I am a high school senior

638
00:36:15,120 --> 00:36:17,920
Speaker 1: and I'm needing to decide where to go to college.

639
00:36:18,120 --> 00:36:21,640
Speaker 1: My two choices are both in Oregon and both have

640
00:36:21,760 --> 00:36:26,600
Speaker 1: my major have a major of ag science. One is

641
00:36:26,640 --> 00:36:29,399
Speaker 1: an amazing Christian school with a great program, but very

642
00:36:29,440 --> 00:36:30,640
Speaker 1: expensive and will leave me.

643
00:36:30,800 --> 00:36:33,200
Speaker 2: With a lot of debt. The other is a less.

644
00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:38,480
Speaker 1: Expensive university, but non Christian. I also would quite possibly

645
00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:41,960
Speaker 1: be open to a relationship possibility for me with a

646
00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:46,920
Speaker 1: great Christian guy who doesn't want to be doing long distance. Now,

647
00:36:46,960 --> 00:36:49,399
Speaker 1: my question is how do I decide where to go

648
00:36:49,760 --> 00:36:53,000
Speaker 1: when both options have tempting choices and the one option

649
00:36:53,239 --> 00:36:56,799
Speaker 1: breaks down a relational barrier? Okay, which one is got

650
00:36:56,800 --> 00:37:02,920
Speaker 1: the non Christian guy? Which one's got the great Christian guy?

651
00:37:02,960 --> 00:37:06,080
Speaker 1: I should say, Oh, that's the non Christian.

652
00:37:06,239 --> 00:37:08,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it's the non Christian school as the

653
00:37:08,719 --> 00:37:09,359
Speaker 3: Christian guy.

654
00:37:09,520 --> 00:37:14,399
Speaker 1: Anonymous wants to go to school with this guy, Hey,

655
00:37:14,560 --> 00:37:17,120
Speaker 1: there's nothing and there's technically nothing wrong with that.

656
00:37:17,560 --> 00:37:17,680
Speaker 2: Uh.

657
00:37:18,520 --> 00:37:22,360
Speaker 1: The just because a college calls themselves a Christian university

658
00:37:22,920 --> 00:37:27,160
Speaker 1: and they're very expensive does not mean this is where

659
00:37:27,160 --> 00:37:30,879
Speaker 1: God's calling you to go at all. And there there

660
00:37:30,960 --> 00:37:33,759
Speaker 1: was just as much debauchery in a college that calls

661
00:37:33,800 --> 00:37:36,920
Speaker 1: themselves Christian. What what do they mean by Christian? What

662
00:37:37,040 --> 00:37:39,040
Speaker 1: kind of what? What kind of heresy could they be

663
00:37:39,160 --> 00:37:43,240
Speaker 1: hiding within those Ivy League walls?

664
00:37:43,280 --> 00:37:43,759
Speaker 2: I don't know.

665
00:37:44,880 --> 00:37:48,040
Speaker 1: I say, I would say, go make the sensible decision

666
00:37:48,120 --> 00:37:50,920
Speaker 1: to go where you could afford, where you don't get

667
00:37:50,920 --> 00:37:53,400
Speaker 1: into incredible debt. You're going to get a sounds like

668
00:37:53,440 --> 00:37:56,719
Speaker 1: a solid education with the major you want. You may

669
00:37:56,800 --> 00:37:59,320
Speaker 1: even be able to be in some kind of relationship

670
00:37:59,360 --> 00:38:02,480
Speaker 1: with a with a good guy, and they're going to

671
00:38:02,560 --> 00:38:04,279
Speaker 1: have a good church in the town. With the non

672
00:38:04,640 --> 00:38:10,839
Speaker 1: non Christian college, I don't see anything wrong with that. Yeah,

673
00:38:10,840 --> 00:38:11,480
Speaker 1: I don't, I don't.

674
00:38:12,160 --> 00:38:13,359
Speaker 2: Is there anything else on that? No?

675
00:38:13,680 --> 00:38:17,080
