Speaker 1: All right, man. One of my favorite guests, the CEO
Speaker 1: oh Wow of Yee Apparel. I forgot about that and
Speaker 1: one of the according to Tyler, the fastest growing gun
Speaker 1: channel on YouTube, the most subscribers, fastest growing gun channel
Speaker 1: and all of YouTube. The host of that is right
Speaker 1: here with us up the stable too. That's where Parker
Speaker 1: sim Now he's here. He's here, Parker Smith right here. Oh,
Speaker 1: it's me also, my brother.
Speaker 2: What's going on?
Speaker 3: Man?
Speaker 4: That's where I know you from now from the YouTube chan.
Speaker 1: There are so many people that say I saw you,
Speaker 1: I know you, and and it's from the YouTube channel,
Speaker 1: which is crazy.
Speaker 2: It's really crazy.
Speaker 1: One of the subscribers, now, it's been two weeks since
Speaker 1: you've been on.
Speaker 2: Like two point six I think two point six million.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know for a fact it's over that because
Speaker 1: I just looked. But and then by by the time
Speaker 1: this comes out, it'll probably be like two point eight
Speaker 1: ye yee. Life is the channel, and man, the concept
Speaker 1: of it, Parker, it was it was a brilliant idea.
Speaker 1: It was like, I want to do a MythBusters of
Speaker 1: what you could shoot and do like a sixty second version.
Speaker 1: So he does he does a short sixty second version
Speaker 1: of a MythBusters What could you shoot with? What happens
Speaker 1: if you shoot this? And then a long form it's
Speaker 1: like ten or twelve minutes once a week, and now
Speaker 1: the long forms are getting a million and the short
Speaker 1: forms are getting like fifty million.
Speaker 5: Yeah, we're basically trying to pull in like a forty
Speaker 5: five minute episode of like an old school TV Discovery
Speaker 5: Channel episode and curate it to gen Z in fifty
Speaker 5: five seconds.
Speaker 4: So I just watched the ATM one. Fascinating man.
Speaker 3: Yea.
Speaker 4: They I think they built ATM machines and said Okay,
Speaker 4: somebody go destroy this, and then okay, we need to
Speaker 4: redo some things. And then they made that one and
Speaker 4: they said somebody go destroy this. Yeah, and then they
Speaker 4: rebuilt some things and that's the version.
Speaker 3: You got a machine?
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was would you crazy caliber?
Speaker 5: Yeah, it was like four or five fifty cal rounds
Speaker 5: would not open it. And then like literally we spent
Speaker 5: like seven hours out there and then it was yeah,
Speaker 5: a lot of time with a crowbar and a sledgchhammer.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was a fun one. So you're you're producer,
Speaker 1: we should say, Zach, he finds these things like on
Speaker 1: Facebook marketplace basically did you shoot.
Speaker 5: Yeah, he's like a vulture. He's just scours Facebook marketplace
Speaker 5: for just the most random stuff. So he got a
Speaker 5: sewer lid from Facebook marketplace. He got a fire hydrant,
Speaker 5: We've got a telephone poll. We got the ATM machine
Speaker 5: that was work. It was a working ATM machine and everything,
Speaker 5: and then we just recently did a prison door. It
Speaker 5: was like a legit bulletproof door from like a federal
Speaker 5: prison today today.
Speaker 3: That.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so if you don't mind me asking, how much
Speaker 1: should that the ATM machine cost?
Speaker 5: I think he was listing it at five hundred and
Speaker 5: fifty dollars and then Zach got it for like three
Speaker 5: p fifty.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and for those of you listening like that, that
Speaker 1: video will make that back, so it's not like, oh,
Speaker 1: what a waste, you know, it's actually for really good calls.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a great investment.
Speaker 1: I don't know how.
Speaker 5: I always think who else would this guy have sold
Speaker 5: this to? You know, like, who's going to buy this
Speaker 5: old manhole cover for two hundred bucks?
Speaker 1: If you don't sell it to us, what'd you buy
Speaker 1: the manhole cover for?
Speaker 2: I think like two hundred bucks?
Speaker 1: My goodness, ripoff.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know.
Speaker 5: It was like a guy in a garage and he
Speaker 5: like had all these turkeys and cages and stuff. Z.
Speaker 5: Actually he like rolls up on some really weird, weird
Speaker 5: little homesteads of these people selling this stuff. It was
Speaker 5: like made in India.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 2: But it's really cool, man.
Speaker 5: It's like a perfect time of to do this type
Speaker 5: of channel because of Facebook marketplace. Like twenty years ago,
Speaker 5: I don't think you would have been able to find
Speaker 5: this stuff anywhere except for maybe like when eBay was
Speaker 5: first invented.
Speaker 4: But now it's just like or some antique store.
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 5: It would just be a rare fun Yeah.
Speaker 1: Which is what your wife does.
Speaker 4: Yeah, no manhole covers or ancient ATM machines. But yeah,
Speaker 4: she looks for good antiques and books for Granger out
Speaker 4: there on the in the red barn. A lot of
Speaker 4: those books or some of those books, not a lot
Speaker 4: of them, but some of those books all came from
Speaker 4: just her shopping around. Yeah. But you know, I wonder
Speaker 4: how that conversation went about the manhole cover. Was it
Speaker 4: was it like for six months the wife was telling
Speaker 4: him to get that thing out of the garage or
Speaker 4: would you please just get this out of here.
Speaker 6: Andcek, is it like a lazy guy who's like a hoarder,
Speaker 6: or is it like a genius Gary Vaynerchuck who's like
Speaker 6: out here flipping like yeah, fish, yeah.
Speaker 4: FLI I sold this guy shot it with a bunch
Speaker 4: of guns. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Does Zach ever tell him what he's gonna do with
Speaker 1: what he's buying?
Speaker 2: They never asked, but.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's got he's got to give.
Speaker 2: Gotten anvils he got.
Speaker 5: He drove to Dallas and picked up like an old
Speaker 5: airplane door and that one was like eight hundred dollars.
Speaker 5: And I just think, I said, do you think that
Speaker 5: that guy's turned to his wife right when you close
Speaker 5: the door, just like, can you believe we've got that
Speaker 5: guy up us eight hundred bucks for that piece of junk?
Speaker 4: And it was just in the way to them. That's
Speaker 4: hilarious because most of that cause I know, I just
Speaker 4: know how I sell my stuff. You know, it's like
Speaker 4: nobody's gonna buy this, throw it up there.
Speaker 5: Yeah, And so then reach out to the Grangersmith podcast
Speaker 5: if you have something for us to shoot. We had
Speaker 5: a guy bring a secret service window. I got a
Speaker 5: legit pain of glass from a secret decommissioned Secret Service vehicle.
Speaker 2: And that was the coolest thing that I've ever shot.
Speaker 2: So if you get if you have something like that,
Speaker 2: let us know.
Speaker 1: We'll buy from me. Yeah. So about once a month,
Speaker 1: you guys sweep through there, get the trash and take
Speaker 1: it to the dump. Is that right? Basically?
Speaker 2: Yeah, we tried to.
Speaker 5: It's the prison door that we just shot today is
Speaker 5: extremely heavy and the ATM is extremely heavy, so we're
Speaker 5: kind of dreading that, but we got to get rid
Speaker 5: of those two.
Speaker 1: Somebody shot a prison door today. Did you say you
Speaker 1: didn't say.
Speaker 4: That yet already?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I did it. I did earlier. That's what you
Speaker 1: You got it today and you shot it.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Uh so we need to say too that Tyler
Speaker 1: was invited. Tyler was invited to sit here with us,
Speaker 1: and he couldn't. He couldn't make it today. He's busy.
Speaker 4: He had an appointment.
Speaker 1: He had an appointment that he had to be at.
Speaker 1: In that appointment was a massage. And man said, man,
Speaker 1: did did he is it? Does he have an injury
Speaker 1: or like he's getting a massage? And I said, no,
Speaker 1: that's just the most Tyler Smith thing ever.
Speaker 4: I was like, like, I'm close enough with you guys now,
Speaker 4: but I'm not. I mean not to the ragging your
Speaker 4: brother stage right, Like you know I could. I giggled
Speaker 4: to myself, that's funny that you said. You could have
Speaker 4: just said an appointment. I had something to do, but
Speaker 4: you pointed out, I'm sorry, I can't be there. I
Speaker 4: have a massage, And I thought, first I read a
Speaker 4: message and I was gonna make some funny joke. I
Speaker 4: was like, Okay, we're close, but I don't know if
Speaker 4: we're that close yet. Let's see, so.
Speaker 1: We'll just talk about it on the podcast. So correct
Speaker 1: me if I'm wrong. You probably know Parker because you
Speaker 1: work with him every day. But I told Anne, I said,
Speaker 1: I bet you this is some kind of He read
Speaker 1: this in a book somewhere, some kind of self help,
Speaker 1: where it was like, you need to make time for
Speaker 1: yourself in your busy day. You need to schedule a
Speaker 1: massage in the middle of the day for thirty minutes.
Speaker 1: Put your phone away, clear your mind, make sure it's
Speaker 1: on the calendar. Don't break that.
Speaker 2: I think he does the ninety minute.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, bet, don't break that appointment for anything. Get
Speaker 1: your massage, and then re enter the workplace. Is that
Speaker 1: something like what happened.
Speaker 2: I don't know if that's exactly what happened, but I
Speaker 2: know that he has said that.
Speaker 5: His messuse will say that the only way that a
Speaker 5: massage can have long term effects is if you go regularly.
Speaker 5: Otherwise all the knots, all the knots come back.
Speaker 4: That's exactly what I would say if I remember, oh,
Speaker 4: you got to do You've got to do this once
Speaker 4: a month.
Speaker 1: That's the same thing. I've only been to a chiropractor
Speaker 1: a few times when I've been injured, and I've gone
Speaker 1: to a chiropractor and then they'll they'll they make the
Speaker 1: adjustment and they're like, okay, well, I would say, we
Speaker 1: need to probably do this weekly, So how are tuesdays
Speaker 1: for you? And I'm like, I can't do this weekly tuesdays? No, yeah, no,
Speaker 1: I can't do this.
Speaker 2: The chiropractor thing is annoying.
Speaker 4: I'll come back to you when my rib pops out again.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I can't know. If they're chiropractors listening, they're probably like, no,
Speaker 1: this is what we do, Like, you don't understand it
Speaker 1: actually does help, and maybe it does. Maybe there's great,
Speaker 1: there's probably great benefits in a regular scheduled chiropractor. But
Speaker 1: that's just not something in my life that I could
Speaker 1: give up and do. It's expensive, first of all, but
Speaker 1: to be able to give up a Tuesday or whatever afternoon.
Speaker 1: This is not like haircuts at the farm. No we do.
Speaker 3: We did.
Speaker 1: Yeah, haircuts are different. Hair continues to grow. You got
Speaker 1: to do something about it.
Speaker 4: Well, I mean, it's not that they just come and
Speaker 4: give everybody a shoulders, right, This is he makes the
Speaker 4: appointment and leaves and goes to the destination and gets
Speaker 4: the massage.
Speaker 1: So we would have Tyler here otherwise, and he would
Speaker 1: have some great things to say. In fact, I saw
Speaker 1: a comment on the last video we did US four
Speaker 1: and then it said, hey, grandre, you need to stop
Speaker 1: talking and let your guest talk more, especially Tyler. Okay,
Speaker 1: so that's to that person.
Speaker 4: So next week, welcome to the Tyler Smith Podcast.
Speaker 1: I was going to let him talk. Just listen, just
Speaker 1: soak in the wisdom.
Speaker 5: Tyler's like not like a classic guest where you're asking
Speaker 5: him about his life, that's all. They are, just like
Speaker 5: answering questions together, that's right. And Tyler's not naturally a talker.
Speaker 4: I think you should do it from the massage room.
Speaker 1: There you go.
Speaker 4: While he's getting the massage. Yeah, that'll be just.
Speaker 1: So I and we got Parker, thankfully we got Parker.
Speaker 1: He's very busy with the Gee Pearl summer launch this week.
Speaker 1: As this podcast releases, it will be in the past.
Speaker 1: But you've been super busy with that, and I'm I
Speaker 1: don't know, I'm biased, but this summer launch is awesome.
Speaker 1: A Yee Pearl man, so many faith shirts and hats.
Speaker 1: Now it's like we had one faith shirt and we
Speaker 1: had one faith hat and then now now that's what
Speaker 1: I prefer to wear from Yege is the faith shirts. Man.
Speaker 1: That Revelation five shirt is so cool. That the harvest
Speaker 1: is plentiful is great, not know for one hat. Ye
Speaker 1: it's a good launch when you're wearing.
Speaker 5: Been really fun. It's almost like reignited my passion for it.
Speaker 5: And I think it has for you two to like
Speaker 5: finally be like, all right, this is us now. And
Speaker 5: it's been a lot of fun too come up with
Speaker 5: a concept of some actual meaningful message from the Bible
Speaker 5: and be able to express that in a shirt for
Speaker 5: somebody who wants to wear that. So it's been super
Speaker 5: fun with also throwing in some of the classics like
Speaker 5: faith and outdoor stuff as well. It's just we're excited
Speaker 5: to finally be able to bring in the faith element.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 1: I'm wearing the Resurrection, the one we put out for Easter, right,
Speaker 1: But anyway, I'm always wearing some combo of something now
Speaker 1: because I love the conversation starter that it becomes. And
Speaker 1: I was at a sandwich shop recently, and this is
Speaker 1: the month of June, so it's you know, Pride month,
Speaker 1: and I had a ninety nine for one hat and
Speaker 1: one of the faith shirts I forgot what it was.
Speaker 1: And the person serving me taking my order had a pin,
Speaker 1: a rainbow pin, and it said safe Person. And we're
Speaker 1: just talking about the sandwich, you know. But I was thinking, Wow,
Speaker 1: this is really this is interesting because she's wearing her
Speaker 1: apparel and I'm wearing mine.
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah.
Speaker 1: Hers says safe person. Mine says we seek and save
Speaker 1: the lost. Christ seeks and saves the lost, and we
Speaker 1: should leave no sheep behind, you know. And so I
Speaker 1: was convicted by my own merg as I'm looking at
Speaker 1: her because I could look at her and be like,
Speaker 1: she's different. She does she hates me, she believes something
Speaker 1: different than Mecca. I could think that, but it's wrong thinking.
Speaker 1: And so I'm convicted that she's she's a child of
Speaker 1: God standing before me, and she wears a pin that
Speaker 1: says safe person, insinuating that I'm not. That's what that means.
Speaker 1: That's what that pin means. It means I am not
Speaker 1: a safe person. Which is also interesting because of that
Speaker 1: quote that CS Lewis quote from Chronicles of Narnia when
Speaker 1: in the in Chronicles of Narnia, mister Beaver is having
Speaker 1: this conversation and Alice or not Alice Lucy says, talks
Speaker 1: talking about the lion Aslan. He's he's a lion. They
Speaker 1: find out as Land they're great. King Is is a lion,
Speaker 1: and she goes a lion. Is he safe? And mister
Speaker 1: Beaver said safe? Oh who said anything about safe? He's
Speaker 1: not safe, but he's good.
Speaker 4: Mh.
Speaker 1: I thought, oh, man, that's that's the situation I'm in.
Speaker 1: I'm not safe to her, but I'm good. Now. I'm
Speaker 1: not putting myself as you know, an image of Christ
Speaker 1: or anything. I'm just saying what I represent is good exactly.
Speaker 1: I'm not saying it's me I'm not good in myself,
Speaker 1: but what I represent the message with my hat and
Speaker 1: my shirt is good, but it's not safe. So anyway,
Speaker 1: just a small, a small instance of being convicted by
Speaker 1: my own merch. But why it's so important to wear
Speaker 1: like can you imagine if I was wearing that, and
Speaker 1: she was wearing that, and I was like, hey, too
Speaker 1: much mustard on I said, I didn't want onions? What
Speaker 1: was the deal? Can you imagine if I was a
Speaker 1: jerk wearing that, what kind of false witness that would be?
Speaker 1: How horrible that would be? Or if I was if
Speaker 1: I saw her pen and just immediately didn't want to
Speaker 1: talk to her or just thought I'm better than her something,
Speaker 1: What a pharisee I would be speaking of. I've got
Speaker 1: I've got Luke seven pulled up here because I've decided
Speaker 1: I'm going to Latin America coming up very soon. It
Speaker 1: might even be gone by the time this pod comes out.
Speaker 1: It might be so I've been Travis asked me to
Speaker 1: preach a Sunday morning and a Sunday evening, and so
Speaker 1: I started thinking about I preached at a mais I
Speaker 1: preached John three, so that would probably be a good one.
Speaker 1: For them and what else. And I was thinking about
Speaker 1: things that I've done recently, and nothing really hit like
Speaker 1: I didn't really want to do one of Paul's letters
Speaker 1: or something like that. But then I thought, what if
Speaker 1: I did Luke seven, The the Sinful Woman Forgiven? And
Speaker 1: so I I wrote that sermon because I needed to
Speaker 1: write it out because of the translator. But I wrote
Speaker 1: it like two to only two days. It would usually
Speaker 1: take longer to write a sermon, but it's much easier
Speaker 1: to write this because because it's shorter for that because
Speaker 1: of the translator, and it's more to the point because
Speaker 1: there's a language and cultural barrier. I don't have to
Speaker 1: I can't give an illustration about you know. So it's
Speaker 1: just text teaching application. That's the sermon. But man, what
Speaker 1: a what an amazing story. In Luke seven, one of
Speaker 1: the fairy asked Jesus to eat with him, and he
Speaker 1: went into the Pharisees house and reclined at table and
Speaker 1: behold a woman of the city who was a sinner
Speaker 1: most people believe, probably a prostitute. When when she learned
Speaker 1: that he was reclining at the table at the Pharisees house,
Speaker 1: brought an alabascar flask of ointment, and standing behind him
Speaker 1: at his feet weeping, she began to wet his feet
Speaker 1: with her tears and wipe them with the hair of
Speaker 1: her head, which is a woman, and this time would
Speaker 1: never take her hair down, and kissed his feet and
Speaker 1: anointed them with the ointment. And when the pharisee who
Speaker 1: had invited him, saw this, he said to himself, if
Speaker 1: this man were a prophet, he would have known who
Speaker 1: and what sort of woman this is who was touching him,
Speaker 1: for she is a sinner. Now this guy's name was Simon,
Speaker 1: the pharisee, not to be confused with Peter. And Jesus
Speaker 1: answered him, which is funny, He answered him, The guy
Speaker 1: was just thinking it, because this is now. The pharisee
Speaker 1: saw this, said to himself, if this man were a prophet,
Speaker 1: he would know what sort of woman this is. Jesus
Speaker 1: answered his thought to himself, which is terrifying. It must
Speaker 1: have been said you just thought, He said, Simon, I
Speaker 1: have something to say to you, And he answered, say it, teacher.
Speaker 1: A certain money lender had two debtors, one who owed
Speaker 1: five hundred denari, which is a day's wages, so five
Speaker 1: hundred days wages. He owed this guy and the other
Speaker 1: the other fifty fifty days wages. When they could not pay.
Speaker 1: Both of them can't pay, he canceled the debt of both. Now,
Speaker 1: which of them will love him more? Simon answered the
Speaker 1: one I suppose, for whom he canceled the larger debt.
Speaker 1: Suppose like suppose, yeah, for sure, of course, the one
Speaker 1: of the five hundred days is going to be forgiven.
Speaker 1: It's gonna love more. Of course. He's like, oh, my goodness, right,
Speaker 1: And he said to him, you have judged rightly. Then
Speaker 1: turned toward the woman. He said to Simon another interesting thing.
Speaker 1: Turns to the woman, but he's saying to Simon the pharisee.
Speaker 1: Do you see this woman? I entered your house. You
Speaker 1: gave me no water from my feet, and she has
Speaker 1: wet my feet with her tears and wiped them with
Speaker 1: her hair. You gave me no kiss that from the
Speaker 1: time I came in, she has not ceased to kiss
Speaker 1: my feet. You did not anoint my head with oil,
Speaker 1: but she has anointed my feet with ointment. Therefore, I
Speaker 1: tell you her sins, which are many, are forgiven, for
Speaker 1: she loved much. But he who is forgiven little loves little.
Speaker 1: And he said to her, always saying to her, your
Speaker 1: sins are forgiven. Than those who were at the table
Speaker 1: begin to say among themselves, who is this who even
Speaker 1: forgives sins? And he said to the woman, your faith
Speaker 1: has saved you. Go in peace, which also could mean
Speaker 1: go into peace, walk into peace. Amazing story. Only one
Speaker 1: other time in the Bible is someone kissing Jesus? You
Speaker 1: think of the one other time? Judas? Yeah, just two times,
Speaker 1: one this woman and the opposite side Judas.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, yeah. Who was the woman perceived as horrible
Speaker 4: and the scum of the earth to being the redeemed
Speaker 4: and the one that was perceived as being the follower
Speaker 4: is the opposite?
Speaker 1: Interesting?
Speaker 5: Yeah yeah, Such an encouraging message to those who who
Speaker 5: have done horrible things. You know who you know. The
Speaker 5: common miss misinterpretation is that you need to clean yourself
Speaker 5: up before you can come to God. And man, how
Speaker 5: clear could that be that Jesus is like, come you sick?
Speaker 5: I mean, how many illustrations does he give of those
Speaker 5: with leprosy that no one else wants to be around?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 5: He come the way you are and repent and trust
Speaker 5: in him. You're not too dirty? For him to clean
Speaker 5: you up.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it's interesting as I was thinking through this,
Speaker 1: that there are sins of omission where we sin active
Speaker 1: like that's what she had done. This woman was a sinner.
Speaker 1: She did something, sure, but there's also a sense of commission,
Speaker 1: where it's sinse of not doing something. And this is
Speaker 1: what Simon the Pharisee was guilty of. You did not
Speaker 1: annoint my head with oil, You did not kiss me,
Speaker 1: you know all the things. You did not give me
Speaker 1: water when I entered your house.
Speaker 4: I think that's also saying you did not recognize who
Speaker 4: was with you. Yeah she did and you didn't.
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh yeah, that's all the above. But we tend
Speaker 1: to think like I didn't do that. Yeah, yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1: Well that's not the only way to sin. You can
Speaker 1: also sin in your heart. You're can also sin by
Speaker 1: not doing something. So we're all we're all guilty. Basically,
Speaker 1: none of us are out of this. We're all guilty.
Speaker 1: We all are the five hundred day deader. You know,
Speaker 1: of course, you know that's that's us. She recognized that
Speaker 1: this guy didn't.
Speaker 4: And if you've given an analogy of somebody with more debt,
Speaker 4: that would be us.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's such a good point to realize that we're
Speaker 5: all Simon too, you know, because my first thought was, man,
Speaker 5: how encouraging for those with loads of sin that have
Speaker 5: done things they're so ashamed of that they can come
Speaker 5: to Christ's feet and he will forgive them earnestly. And
Speaker 5: then you're just like, oh, wait, I'm Simon. I'm the
Speaker 5: guy muttering in my mind like how many even you?
Speaker 5: You're just you are so condemned when you think about
Speaker 5: when you think about the fact that Jesus can nose
Speaker 5: every thought, every posture of your heart.
Speaker 1: Yeah, So to that point, I think what I would
Speaker 1: lead this with in Latin America is what do you
Speaker 1: think is your greatest need? Is it clean water? Is
Speaker 1: it food? Is it medicine? Is it a new roof?
Speaker 1: Is it a wife or a husband, is it a child?
Speaker 1: Is it for you to be healed of something? All
Speaker 1: of those are good things, yeah, but not your greatest need.
Speaker 1: It is to be forgiven of your sins, which has
Speaker 1: caused a separation between you and God. And there's only
Speaker 1: one way to be forgiven of that so that you
Speaker 1: could be brought to God, clean and holy, and that
Speaker 1: is through Christ faith in Jesus, Believe in Jesus, believe
Speaker 1: that he at the cross, his sacrifice is the means
Speaker 1: by which you can be forgiven, look to him and
Speaker 1: trust him in.
Speaker 4: That makesious to hear how that goes for many reasons,
Speaker 4: but one two is that a completely different world, mindset,
Speaker 4: day to day activities in that world you're going to
Speaker 4: than we are, because you get you know, we were
Speaker 4: kind of used to even the message. You know, sometimes
Speaker 4: they can fall on deaf ears because we've heard it before,
Speaker 4: or we've heard some sibilis of it before. But ones
Speaker 4: who either haven't heard it or just have a different
Speaker 4: lifestyle than we do, not completely different, Like if they're
Speaker 4: worried about you know, uh, sewer and water and things
Speaker 4: like that that we just take for granted, how they
Speaker 4: accept a message like this and how much deeper that
Speaker 4: I think that it settles.
Speaker 1: And then the Martin Luther talking about her, this woman's tears,
Speaker 1: and he said they were it was water of her heart,
Speaker 1: the water of her heart. That was interesting, and I thought,
Speaker 1: that's that'll probably translate really nice, you know, I go,
Speaker 1: you know whatever.
Speaker 5: And then you can look at the verse, having canceled
Speaker 5: the charge of our legal indebtedness which stood against us
Speaker 5: and condemned us.
Speaker 2: He's taking it away now.
Speaker 5: To the cross, like that debt.
Speaker 2: So you address the.
Speaker 5: Need that the knowledge, acknowledge the debt that you owe
Speaker 5: your greatest need, and then come to Christ like she is,
Speaker 5: and he will take it away, nail it to the
Speaker 5: cross in his in his feet, in his hands.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: That's such a good visual.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it is so that I can give them your
Speaker 5: lin evidence against Granger Smith. This is your debt that
Speaker 5: you owe to God and you can't pay it.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Wow, so good. See that just blesses me. Like, Yeah,
Speaker 1: when we go on a trip like this, it's like
Speaker 1: we say, fifty percent of it is planned, So this
Speaker 1: whole thing could fall through.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: First of all, I might not even make it there.
Speaker 1: Second of all, we might not make it through the
Speaker 1: mountains to the church. Anything could happen. It doesn't matter.
Speaker 1: I was already blessed by Luke seven.
Speaker 4: Yeah, for sure.
Speaker 1: I was already nourished by the word. If I get
Speaker 1: to preach it even better, even better, But I was
Speaker 1: already I've already been so nourished just in two days
Speaker 1: and with you guys, that's awesome.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's really cool, and it'd be good, you know,
Speaker 4: if they hear it, or if it's saved for some
Speaker 4: other group or you know trip.
Speaker 1: So, speaking of tears, when we were at the iHeart Fest,
Speaker 1: you and I they I was at in one of
Speaker 1: the interviews, I was asked, is there a movie that
Speaker 1: makes you cry? And I was like, first of all,
Speaker 1: I ask you guys, but I think I said Braveheart?
Speaker 1: Was this Brook?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 4: Okay, someone else?
Speaker 1: Yeah? It was a girl from New York?
Speaker 4: Oh, yes, yeah, I don't know her name?
Speaker 3: Is it?
Speaker 1: I said, Braveheart, which is always a movie that makes
Speaker 1: me cry. I can't watch. I'm not really a crier,
Speaker 1: but I can't watch him on that table at the end.
Speaker 1: Never seen it? You've never seen my smissed? Now?
Speaker 4: Yeah, I've never seen.
Speaker 1: Do you not want to?
Speaker 4: Or I just never have?
Speaker 1: Yeah? No, I'd love to.
Speaker 4: All Right, I need to pause on this.
Speaker 1: Watch it. Let's pause the video. You go watch it
Speaker 1: and come back. No, will you watch? Will you go
Speaker 1: ahead and watch it? We'll talk. Well, I won't say
Speaker 1: what I was about this, No you can, okay, I
Speaker 1: just uh, I get so broken down by that movie.
Speaker 1: And then there's on a much lighter side Rudy, I
Speaker 1: I get. Have you seen Rudy? No, okay, okay, sorry,
Speaker 1: that's another one. Maybe you just hate Day. Maybe you
Speaker 1: hate notre Day.
Speaker 4: Yeah that's part of it.
Speaker 1: No, I don't, Yeah, I got. I got Rudy if
Speaker 1: it gets to me.
Speaker 4: But I do know the story of that Jerseys and
Speaker 4: then and then there's the one I forgot to tell
Speaker 4: her is the one I'm thinking about right now.
Speaker 1: First of all, go ahead, do you have that? You
Speaker 1: have any movies? Yeah? Three come to mind.
Speaker 5: Number one Paul Apostle of Christ, I think is an
Speaker 5: underrated movie.
Speaker 1: When he's got a shaved head, I think, yes, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's a good one.
Speaker 5: They use the guy who played Jesus in Passion of
Speaker 5: the Christ and he plays Luke in that one, and
Speaker 5: I thought it was well done.
Speaker 1: Zel Yeah, okay, cool.
Speaker 5: Number two is the Case for Christ, based on the
Speaker 5: book by Lee Strouble, and then three is ready. Those
Speaker 5: are the first three that come to mind.
Speaker 1: I'm a crier, though, man, I don't know if I've
Speaker 1: seen Case for Christ. Maybe I have, I can't remember.
Speaker 1: I didn't know it was a movie. Yeah, it's pretty
Speaker 1: well done. Yeah, the Patch speakers speaking of Passion of
Speaker 1: the Christ. I don't watch that too often, but there
Speaker 1: are moments from that that will break me down for sure.
Speaker 1: So what about you.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Passion is one of them, and I've only seen
Speaker 4: it a couple of times, but it's one of those
Speaker 4: that I mean, you know, there's none of it's in English.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's not.
Speaker 4: One English word in this entire movie, and just the
Speaker 4: the emotion pulled out by every character in every instance
Speaker 4: of it. And I'll say that even how I loved
Speaker 4: how he used in that movie a woman that you
Speaker 4: couldn't really tell was a woman a satan. It's just
Speaker 4: just an interesting figure that just lurked. And but just yeah,
Speaker 4: that movie and then also a newer one, Journey to Bethlehem.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's great. The end of that movie is just
Speaker 1: you know, yeah, I hear you on this.
Speaker 4: What's her name or what's his name? And just the
Speaker 4: one tear falls from Mary's.
Speaker 1: Face Jesus so on on the side note that on
Speaker 1: the Passion, there's the there's the scene when he's in
Speaker 1: front of the council the Sanhedrin. Yeah, and they're the
Speaker 1: Pharisees are putting him on a trial and they're they're
Speaker 1: trying to get him to slip up and they're giving
Speaker 1: you remember this, and it's the big trial scene and
Speaker 1: he's not saying anything, and then then he does and
Speaker 1: they and they spit on him in that one tier
Speaker 1: falls in his face. It's just so man. That just
Speaker 1: crushes me. Yeah, if you're trying to get a gift
Speaker 1: for someone that you think has everything, how about a
Speaker 1: special video message from me. It's easy to do. Go
Speaker 1: to cameo dot com slash Granger Smith and you put
Speaker 1: in the prompt what you want me to say. I
Speaker 1: get that message on my phone. I'll say happy birthday,
Speaker 1: happy anniversary, whatever personalized message you want me to say
Speaker 1: to whoever you want me to say it to. I
Speaker 1: send it to you and you give it to them.
Speaker 1: It's pretty cool. Go to cameo dot com slash granger Smith.
Speaker 1: So let's change gears a movie that I forgot to say,
Speaker 1: old Yeller.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I don't think I've seen that since I
Speaker 2: was a kid.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't remember it.
Speaker 1: So what happened was Matt Everick comes in our house
Speaker 1: and he's got like frogs in his pocket. You know,
Speaker 1: he goes out for a while, he's in even if
Speaker 1: he's wearing overalls. And he goes out and he goes
Speaker 1: through around our little farm here early in the morning,
Speaker 1: and he comes back and he'll have like a frog
Speaker 1: and and and he's all dirty and it's barefoot. And
Speaker 1: I'm like, you're the kid on Old Yeller, Like you're
Speaker 1: a little all yeah, And I said, in fact, we
Speaker 1: should watch it. And so we started watching it one
Speaker 1: day and he loved it nice, and so we wanted
Speaker 1: to watch it over and over and over. But what
Speaker 1: what was happening was we were getting Maverick has this
Speaker 1: thing where he likes to go to the beginning, start
Speaker 1: at the beginning. So if we watch thirty minutes of
Speaker 1: the movie, go do something else. The next day we
Speaker 1: come back in wants to watch Old Yeller, but he
Speaker 1: wants to start at the beginning. We can't pick up
Speaker 1: where we left dog. It doesn't make sense to him
Speaker 1: to do that. He has to start at the beginning.
Speaker 1: There's some weird OCD with that. But anyway, one day
Speaker 1: we finally made it to the end that scene when
Speaker 1: when he goes out there at night and figures out
Speaker 1: that Old Yeller has rabies hydrophoby I literally there's just
Speaker 1: tears just foured down my face. So I was watching
Speaker 1: it with's Maverick and.
Speaker 4: I was like, wow, this movie does he crying? What's
Speaker 4: going on?
Speaker 1: No, he knew that it was sad because you can
Speaker 1: tell about the music. But but you're just this stinking
Speaker 1: movie about a boy and his dog crying like so
Speaker 1: many people. But it is so well made. The acting,
Speaker 1: these the the action. I cannot believe that dog fights
Speaker 1: a bear, a wolf, a raccoons, it fights pigs, it
Speaker 1: fights a cow. What in the world and none of
Speaker 1: its special effects. They're good acting animals.
Speaker 4: I wonder how many there were of Yeller. One really was.
Speaker 1: His name was Spike.
Speaker 4: I looked it up.
Speaker 1: His name was Spike, and he was like very special.
Speaker 1: He was huge, evidently like he when he's on his
Speaker 1: hind legs and standing straight up, he would look you
Speaker 1: in the eye. That's how wow. Really big dog. But
Speaker 1: just a great actor and great obviously, great trainers for
Speaker 1: all the animals. Every every animal had a trainer. But
Speaker 1: but as I was watching the movie, and you know,
Speaker 1: new Eyes as a Christian, and they they're burying old Yeller,
Speaker 1: him and Elizabeth, Yeah, and his dad comes home his
Speaker 1: dad's been on this cattle drive the whole movie. He
Speaker 1: leaves at the beginning of the movie, he comes back
Speaker 1: at the end. The whole in between, he's gone on
Speaker 1: a cattle drive, and so he doesn't ever meet Old Yeller.
Speaker 1: He just shows up the day that the Travis is
Speaker 1: burying him and he's bringing Travis his horse that he
Speaker 1: wanted from the beginning of the movie wanted. All he
Speaker 1: wanted was a horse. He brings his horse, and now
Speaker 1: Travis is not It's hard for him to even be
Speaker 1: interested because because Yeller's gone. Because Yeller's gone, so that
Speaker 1: the wife says, he says, worse Travis, and he's up
Speaker 1: on the hill with Elizabeth Barry and Old Yeller. He said,
Speaker 1: Old Yeller and she said, sit down a minute, I'll
Speaker 1: tell you the story. So he sits down and then
Speaker 1: he appears and he comes to Travis and he says, son,
Speaker 1: let's talk. And so I'm like, oh wow, this is good,
Speaker 1: like classic nineteen fifties dad talks to his son. Here
Speaker 1: we go. And I was so disappointed with what he says.
Speaker 1: It's like meaningless.
Speaker 4: What do you not like about it?
Speaker 1: It's just empty. It's just like h it's like foam
Speaker 1: on the top of coffee or something. It's like it
Speaker 1: does nothing. It's it's fog with no rain. It's it
Speaker 1: just has no substance. And I thought, now, this is Disney,
Speaker 1: so I'm not expecting like to, you know, move mountains here,
Speaker 1: and I know that they're found is pretty shaky, But
Speaker 1: I just you kind of think, like, here's a moment
Speaker 1: when you could really have this. The whole movie could
Speaker 1: climax with the good Father who comes in and gives
Speaker 1: his boy some advice. So you have the clip here. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we're gonna play it, Play it for Parker and for
Speaker 1: everyone else to take take a look at this, and
Speaker 1: then we're gonna think about what would we have said.
Speaker 1: You got a boy, come sit down, Sun, it's right here,
Speaker 1: and you're like, Okay, it's gonna be great. Music's building.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 7: It was rough son, rough things I ever heard tell.
Speaker 7: But I'm mighty proud of how my boy stood up
Speaker 7: to me. Couldn't that's no more of a grown man.
Speaker 1: That's good.
Speaker 3: The thing to do now is try and forget it,
Speaker 3: go and being a man. Oh pah, how are you
Speaker 3: going to forget something like that?
Speaker 7: Well, I guess I don't quite mean that. It's not
Speaker 7: a thing you can forget, maybe not even the thing
Speaker 7: you want to forget. What I'm trying to say is.
Speaker 3: Life's like that. Sometimes like what.
Speaker 7: Well now, and then for no good reason a man
Speaker 7: can figure out, life will just all off and knock
Speaker 7: him flat, slam him again in the ground's heart.
Speaker 3: It seemed like all his insides is busting. It's not
Speaker 3: all like that.
Speaker 7: A lot of it's mighty fine, and you can't afford
Speaker 7: to waste the good part fretting about the bad that
Speaker 7: makes it all bad. You understand what I'm trying to get.
Speaker 1: At, yes, sir, just.
Speaker 3: Sure. I know saying it's one thing and feeling it's another.
Speaker 3: But I'll tell you a trick.
Speaker 7: It's sometimes a big help, and you start looking around
Speaker 7: for something good to take the place of the bad.
Speaker 3: As a general rule, you can find it.
Speaker 1: That's it, right. I think they're writing the script because
Speaker 1: he's getting a new puppy. You know there's new puppy
Speaker 1: at that. Yes, yeah, but still, did you guys feel
Speaker 1: like yeah a little bit.
Speaker 5: He tells him to forget it, and then he says, well,
Speaker 5: never mind. I guess you can't forget it.
Speaker 4: Maybe you can't forget that.
Speaker 5: And he kind of lost me, and then he just
Speaker 5: kind of says exactly the kid. The kid was zoned
Speaker 5: out too.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's in his worst moment. And he goes, well, son,
Speaker 1: sometimes you just got to forget it and just look
Speaker 1: for the good. What how do I forget it? And
Speaker 1: he goes, well, I guess you can't. But you know
Speaker 1: what you can do is look for the good to
Speaker 1: replace it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so I guess the general the general consensus of
Speaker 4: that conversation was if you only look at the bad,
Speaker 4: everything will be bad.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: If you look at the good, then most things will
Speaker 4: be good.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's not I mean, this is not Shakespeare. This
Speaker 4: is not like, no I understand speech. But yeah, as
Speaker 4: far as what you would say to So's son, like,
Speaker 4: you know.
Speaker 1: So, oh wow, that's weird, opened right up to thirty.
Speaker 1: So I'm thirty four without trying. That's interesting. You know
Speaker 1: what you could say because because you got a little
Speaker 1: David at home, you're gonna have to have these conversations
Speaker 1: one day part and so will I. And the beginning
Speaker 1: of what he said was great, like that's hard. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm so sorry. This is tough, and what you have done,
Speaker 1: what you have endured, is as hard as a man
Speaker 1: would have to endure basically. But then you get to
Speaker 1: the meat of it. You could say something like, but
Speaker 1: I want to tell you, son, the Bible says that
Speaker 1: the Lord is near to the broken heart. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: saves the crushed and spirit. And for all the brokenness
Speaker 1: we see in this world, we remember we have a
Speaker 1: savior whose body was broken for us so that we
Speaker 1: could have joy in him. That even when this fallen
Speaker 1: world seems to be lost and we love much, and
Speaker 1: that when we love something a whole lot, we grieve
Speaker 1: it a lot when it's gone. But we're reminded in
Speaker 1: this fallen world that when things are lost, they will
Speaker 1: one day be restored, redeemed, and renewed because we have
Speaker 1: that promise in our Savior Jesus. So when you miss
Speaker 1: your dog, remember that he is a gift from the
Speaker 1: Great Giver who promises you will be with him. You
Speaker 1: will see him face to face. Everything you loved about
Speaker 1: old Yeller is in our Savior. Remember him and you'll
Speaker 1: be sad for today, but tomorrow there'll be joy.
Speaker 4: Joy. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Like, what if you said something would be like a
Speaker 1: first seats.
Speaker 4: Yeah, in the day that that was made you, they
Speaker 4: could have gotten by with that. Yeah, I could have Yeah,
Speaker 4: maybe not in twenty twenty five, but they could have no. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 4: yeah when you you asked you asked me that, like,
Speaker 4: watch this and think about what you would say to
Speaker 4: you get the general consensus of what you just said
Speaker 4: would be the thing. It's like, man, I know that
Speaker 4: this sucks. Yeah, this is tough, but there is hope.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 4: And it's not that he's just a dog, because it's
Speaker 4: kind of representative a lot of things in life. Yeah,
Speaker 4: good things are gonna come and the good things are
Speaker 4: going to go. Would give us the Lord taketh away.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and for those out there that haven't seen Old Yeller,
Speaker 1: go do yourself as favor and see watch Old Yeller.
Speaker 1: I hope obviously he dies, but the way that he
Speaker 1: dies is I.
Speaker 4: Was gonna say, and that's not the hardest part that
Speaker 4: we just watched.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's crazy. You got a question or two?
Speaker 4: Yeah, this couple? Do you want to read them?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Like the old days? Okay, Hey Granger, my name is
Speaker 1: a j I'm twenty years old from West Michigan and
Speaker 1: before I get into the question, let me just remind
Speaker 1: her about it. You could email podcast at grangersmith dot
Speaker 1: com and we'll we'll answer them. Podcast at grangersmith dot
Speaker 1: com could be about any subject, and AJ says, since
Speaker 1: coming back from why Why Wham? Is that what he said?
Speaker 4: Yeah, youth, I think it? Does it say afterwards?
Speaker 1: Yeah, youth with a mission? Yeah, I've been digging deeper
Speaker 1: into Christian history and different denominations. Why Wham didn't cause
Speaker 1: all my questions, but it definitely sparked a new passion
Speaker 1: in me for Jesus and the truth. I've got a
Speaker 1: lot of questions, things like veneration of saints or whether
Speaker 1: Mary was sinless, the Eucharists, the papacy, and the Reformation.
Speaker 1: I know you come from a Southern Baptist background and
Speaker 1: I was raised Reformed, still part of the c RC church,
Speaker 1: So I'd really love to hear your take on some
Speaker 1: of these common debates between Orthodox Catholic Protestant traditions like
Speaker 1: solo scriptura, the papacy, the role of the church. Love
Speaker 1: the podcast, God Bless, Wow, that's how we're starting this thing.
Speaker 2: That's a whole podcast.
Speaker 1: Episode that is a whole podcast. Maybe we should do this.
Speaker 1: If more people want to hear about this subject, we could.
Speaker 1: We can definitely do the entire show on this. A
Speaker 1: couple couple of things stand out to me. First, I'll
Speaker 1: say I don't come from a Southern Baptist background. I
Speaker 1: don't what background do we come from? Do you think
Speaker 1: I think? I'd say Methodists?
Speaker 2: For me, I was raised in a Presbyterian.
Speaker 1: Okay church, we're brothers, and that's different, so very similar. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I am. I currently am a Southern Baptist by not
Speaker 1: by tradition, but by conviction. And second thing, I want
Speaker 1: to say, it's interesting in this small list of questions,
Speaker 1: I see right here whether Mary was sinless, and that
Speaker 1: really ties nicely with our first our first conversation we
Speaker 1: were having and going to Luke seven and our greatest
Speaker 1: human need to be forgiven. That was Mary's greatest need too.
Speaker 1: All humans, all of them, every one of them, have
Speaker 1: inherited the sin of Adam and the original sin, and
Speaker 1: all of us are in desperate need of being forgiven
Speaker 1: by a holy God where our sin has caused separation
Speaker 1: between us and Him, and Jesus becomes the means by
Speaker 1: which we are reconciled including Mary. When Paul writes that
Speaker 1: all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,
Speaker 1: he does not say all have sinned except one, and
Speaker 1: her name is Mary, and that's just all means all
Speaker 1: all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.
Speaker 1: So although Mary was chosen for this amazing mission that's
Speaker 1: very unique to every other woman and every other man,
Speaker 1: to carry the Son of God in her bosom, although
Speaker 1: she was favored in that way, that she was favored
Speaker 1: because all because of God's favor and not because of
Speaker 1: her own merit. She didn't earn that God wasn't looking
Speaker 1: down going it's up to three right now. I got this,
Speaker 1: I got this Elizabeth girl, I got Mary, and I've
Speaker 1: got this other girl, Sarah. And it's kind of close
Speaker 1: right now, but I'm kind of leaning Mary. You know,
Speaker 1: she's doing really well, and if she continues on this
Speaker 1: path by the time she's fourteen or fifteen, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: go ahead and send the Angel.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 1: No, before Mary was conceived, Yeah, she was always to
Speaker 1: be the one that would carry the Christ. Favored and
Speaker 1: loved in that way. So we could answer that any
Speaker 1: guys want to jump in on the other things, U Christ, Papasi, Reformation, Saints,
Speaker 1: veneration of saints.
Speaker 4: Part of what caught my eye. I'd never heard that before.
Speaker 4: Someone saying that Mary was sinless.
Speaker 1: Really, well, that's a big thing. I just never thought
Speaker 1: about that. I don't know Jesus was the only sinless
Speaker 1: person I hear. It seems obvious, doesn't it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and that's why I guess it didn't cross.
Speaker 1: I saw it like that's a question. No, it really is. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's been.
Speaker 4: I'm not meaning to be rude.
Speaker 1: No, I know you're not yet.
Speaker 5: I love that you're I love that you Yeah, yeah, totally,
Speaker 5: anything stand out to you part. I just had a
Speaker 5: conversation with my sister in law yesterday about the Eucharist, okay,
Speaker 5: and we asked why she didn't partake when she's visiting
Speaker 5: our church. Asked why she didn't partake in the Lord's Supper,
Speaker 5: and she said, because it was not.
Speaker 4: It wasn't.
Speaker 1: What did she say?
Speaker 5: Consecrated m And the Catholic Church believes in the process
Speaker 5: of transubstantiation, which means fancy word for saying that they
Speaker 5: take the Scripture to mean that the body and blood
Speaker 5: of Jesus Christ only a priest or Dane priest can
Speaker 5: literally perform the miracle before you partake in the Lord's
Speaker 5: Supper of literally turning the wine into Jesus Christ's blood
Speaker 5: and the bread into Jesus Christ's flesh. And she said,
Speaker 5: we get that because Jesus says, unless you eat, if
Speaker 5: my body injured.
Speaker 2: My blood, then yeah, he commands them to do that.
Speaker 2: So it's kind of interesting.
Speaker 5: And so that got me looking into like what the
Speaker 5: different how different denominations take what Jesus meant by that.
Speaker 5: And Baptists historically believe that it was symbolic that you
Speaker 5: remember his his body and blood shed for you and
Speaker 5: take an eat, whereas the Catholics can believe that it's
Speaker 5: literally turns into his blood.
Speaker 2: In his flesh.
Speaker 1: M hm, not just Catholics, there's others two anything else
Speaker 1: standing out, guys. I mean Reformation that that could be entire, Yeah, entire.
Speaker 5: You know, really good book on the Reformation is called
Speaker 5: The Unquenchable Flame by Michael Reeves. So if a guy
Speaker 5: who asked that question is interested, I think that would
Speaker 5: be a really good resource.
Speaker 1: It's a good short read. Yeah, yeah, common debates. He says,
Speaker 1: the last question is common debates between Orthodox Catholic Protestant traditions,
Speaker 1: like like solar scripturer. I've heard west Hoff talk about that,
Speaker 1: what is solar scripture? Scripture alone? Okay, that the authority
Speaker 1: comes from scripture alone, not a not an authority for
Speaker 1: I'm a person or an organization or church or a creed.
Speaker 1: I could say that too, or a confession. But from
Speaker 1: scripture alone, that's where we get our final authority. That
Speaker 1: doesn't mean that other things aren't incredibly important, like all
Speaker 1: the things I just named, and we should. We could
Speaker 1: learn much and be encouraged much from those other things.
Speaker 1: But the the buck stops at the Bible, and not that.
Speaker 1: I gotta be careful what I'm saying, because it's it's
Speaker 1: it's it's I'm not saying that it's solo scripture. It
Speaker 1: doesn't mean I only listen to the Bible, meaning I
Speaker 1: don't listen to a pastor. I don't need a pastor
Speaker 1: to tell me anything. I don't listen to a fellow
Speaker 1: church member that tells me anything. I only listen to
Speaker 1: the Bible. I don't, you know, like there is a
Speaker 1: there's a danger in that. So there's a there there's
Speaker 1: the nuance but solo scriptura bactually basically comes from the
Speaker 1: Bible itself. It says all scripture is breathed out by God.
Speaker 1: This is one part where Hall tells Timathy. All scripture
Speaker 1: is breathed out by God. It's profitable for teaching, for proof,
Speaker 1: for correction, and for training and righteousness, that the Man
Speaker 1: of God may be complete equipped for every good work
Speaker 1: that's there is. There are many places in the Bible
Speaker 1: that says trust this, you could trust this. And the
Speaker 1: break in that comes from Matthew eighteen, the sixteen the
Speaker 1: Keys of the Kingdom. So we can talk about that
Speaker 1: and that that might kind of help this this conversation too.
Speaker 1: I like how we just spend a lot of time
Speaker 1: on these things.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean here hopefully you that are watching or
Speaker 4: listening or are learning as well. But I mean I
Speaker 4: didn't know until just recently that there was actually a
Speaker 4: different Bible in Catholics. Forgot.
Speaker 1: So Matthew sixteen, this is where this whole thing comes from. Really,
Speaker 1: this whole break and a big part of this discussion
Speaker 1: breaks right here. Besides the Eucharist, when Jesus says this
Speaker 1: is my body, we have to also remember he also
Speaker 1: says I am the door. Right, It doesn't necessarily mean
Speaker 1: he's bored with hinges on it. So the confession that
Speaker 1: Peter gives to Christ is the confession of the faith right,
Speaker 1: and he is when he says, who do people say
Speaker 1: that I am?
Speaker 3: Right?
Speaker 1: Jesus is saying this, who do people say that I am?
Speaker 3: So?
Speaker 1: Some say Elijah, some of the prophets, maybe Jeremiah. And
Speaker 1: he says, who do you say that I am? And
Speaker 1: Peter replied, you are the christ son of the Living God.
Speaker 1: And Jesus answered him, blessed are you, Simon Barjona, For
Speaker 1: flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but
Speaker 1: my Father, who is in heaven. And I tell you
Speaker 1: you were, Peter. And on this rock I will build
Speaker 1: my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail
Speaker 1: against it. I will give you the keys of the
Speaker 1: Kingdom of Heaven. And whatever you bind on earth shall
Speaker 1: be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth
Speaker 1: shall be loosed in heaven. Then he strictly charged the
Speaker 1: disciples to tell no one that he was the Christ.
Speaker 1: So this conversation comes from this where it's like, oh,
Speaker 1: he gave Peter the keys to Heaven, right, here, which
Speaker 1: was then later interpreted by Pope Leo hundreds of years
Speaker 1: later that that that that's where the papacy started. The
Speaker 1: keys to the kingdom means you're the first pope. Here's
Speaker 1: the keys. You get to decide is the papacy decides. Essentially,
Speaker 1: I'm simplifying this, but this is where it all comes from.
Speaker 1: That's where you a lot of times you see Saint
Speaker 1: Peter on a statue and he's holding a ring of keys.
Speaker 1: And it's also what we see. We hear the songs,
Speaker 1: the country songs, like Saint Peter's at the gates. Sure,
Speaker 1: Saint Peter, won't you let me in? You know he's
Speaker 1: got the key. Saint Peter literally's up there with keys,
Speaker 1: you know.
Speaker 4: Didn't we see a statue when we're in Israel, Peter.
Speaker 1: There's there's one of those statues. I forgot you were
Speaker 1: with me. It is where was that Compernium. It's in
Speaker 1: Compernium where his house was, Yeah, where Peter's house was.
Speaker 1: That's Peter's hometown in Compernium. There is a statue of
Speaker 1: Peter holding that holding the keys of the kingdom. But
Speaker 1: it is but we we believe this as in context
Speaker 1: of the whole Bible, in context of other scriptures that
Speaker 1: that help affirm this that Jesus is talking about his confession.
Speaker 1: It is on this confession. It's on this rock. You
Speaker 1: didn't I'm up with this idea yourself, Father in heaven
Speaker 1: is the one that gave you these words. And it's
Speaker 1: on this confession that I will build my church, and
Speaker 1: the gates of hell will not prevail against it. And
Speaker 1: it is the church that will hold the keys that
Speaker 1: binds and loose, the loosening and the binding, and on
Speaker 1: earth and in Heaven comes through the Church. And the
Speaker 1: gates of hell will not prevail against my church. And
Speaker 1: this is also where they say Jesus Christ is. This
Speaker 1: is the Catholic Church. Is Jesus Christ Church here, it
Speaker 1: is right here, Matthew sixteen. I will build my church
Speaker 1: that Peter started, that Christ Christ Church that he gave
Speaker 1: to Peter to give the keys.
Speaker 3: Here it is.
Speaker 1: This is the Catholic is the beginning, and anything else
Speaker 1: is post to see, anything else is schismatic. So anyway,
Speaker 1: that's where that's where it all comes from. It's interesting
Speaker 1: you and I being there, you know, seeing that in
Speaker 1: Comparnium again are we gonna say part nothing. Add I
Speaker 1: just pulled up the picture of it, the statue. Yeah, yeah, uh,
Speaker 1: none of the question. I'm so glad we have the
Speaker 1: Bible at the table now. It's so nice. There's so
Speaker 1: much more to that, and I didn't answer a lot
Speaker 1: of it, and there's stuff I left out.
Speaker 4: So but what was his name?
Speaker 3: Again?
Speaker 4: From a J I mean, stay stay on and keep
Speaker 4: checking back and hopefully you subscribed already, because if you know,
Speaker 4: we'd go back and do one. That's just maybe just
Speaker 4: that question and dig into a little bit deeper.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: That the.
Speaker 1: The the battle cry of the of the Reformation was
Speaker 1: the Five sou Laws, which was which was you're saved?
Speaker 1: How are you justified before God? How are you saved?
Speaker 1: Justified as a fancy word for saved, sure, how are
Speaker 1: you saved?
Speaker 4: Well?
Speaker 1: It's interesting thinking about Luke seven with the sin the
Speaker 1: sinful woman, and how is saved well? By faith? She
Speaker 1: was saved by faith? He says, go, your faith has
Speaker 1: saved you, Go in peace. It wasn't It wasn't anything
Speaker 1: that she did.
Speaker 4: It was she didn't say a prayer.
Speaker 1: She didn't say prayer. She didn't need someone to tell
Speaker 1: her she was saved besides Jesus, so that the five
Speaker 1: sou laws is you are saved justified by grace alone,
Speaker 1: through faith alone, in Christ alone, as according to the
Speaker 1: Bible alone, for the glory of God alone. Those are
Speaker 1: the five. And that was total heresy to the Catholic Church.
Speaker 1: And in response to that, in the Council of Trent
Speaker 1: that came out with a bunch of canons. And you
Speaker 1: could look at these cannons, especially like Canon nine, it
Speaker 1: says something paraphrasing Canon nine, Council of Trent, it's gonna
Speaker 1: say something like if anyone says they're saved by grace alone,
Speaker 1: let him be anathema, meaning let him be damned, damn him,
Speaker 1: that says, damn the one that says I'm saved by
Speaker 1: grace alone. Wow, they have not recanted that. Nobody has
Speaker 1: has gone back and said we're taking this back. We
Speaker 1: see evidence when clearly Ephesians two eight and nine says
Speaker 1: you are saved by grace alone, through faith alone. Clearly
Speaker 1: this is not your own doing. This is this is
Speaker 1: the work of God, not a result of work. So
Speaker 1: that no one may boast yeah, yeah, anything else. Okay,
Speaker 1: why don't we wrap this up because we could get
Speaker 1: into another question and knowing me and knowing you guys,
Speaker 1: this could really open up another can of worms. But
Speaker 1: I love this stuff.
Speaker 4: I love it same.
Speaker 1: I've enjoyed this, I love this format, and I love
Speaker 1: walking through it like this. I feel I feel like
