We're going to be starting a new series that I'm calling identity if you guys turn to 2nd Corinthians chapter 5 verse 17 2nd Corinthians chapter 5 verse 17 We see here very clearly that as we look into this we're going to be looking at some interesting things here This study is going to take us to the end of the year. I purposely Created this series for the rest of the year before we get into our new book in the new year Which I don't know what book to go into next But I figured to take a break since we went through 12 chapters of Ecclesiastes I figured you know what? Let's kind of have a little a little series a mini series here for the next few weeks And I came up with this series called identity. Who are you really? That's what that that's what I'm kind of looking at. So let's read verses Actually, even though we're looking at verse 17, that's going to be the main text for us I'm going to go ahead and read though verses 12 through verse 20 2nd Corinthians 5 at verse 12 for we do not commend ourselves again to you But give you opportunity to boast on our behalf that you may have an answer for those who boast in appearance and not in heart For if we are beside ourselves, it is for God or if we are of sound mind It is for you for the love of Christ compels us because we judge thus that if one died for all then all died And he died for all that those who live should no longer Live for themselves, but for him who died for them and rose again Therefore from now on we regard no one according to the flesh Even though we have known Christ according to the flesh yet now we know him thus no longer Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation all things have passed away Behold all things have become new Now all things are of God who has reconciled us to himself through Jesus Christ and he has given us the ministry of reconciliation That is that God was in Christ Reconciling the world to himself not imputing their trespasses to them and has committed to us the word of reconciliation Now then we are ambassadors for Christ as though God were pleading through us We implore you on Christ's behalf be reconciled to God Why is identity important? That's the question According to the good therapy org this website They said this about identity Not having a strong sense of self or struggling with identity issues may lead to depression Anxiety and other psychological health problems in addition to even physical health problems our world says if you struggle with your identity you are gonna have problems with you're gonna have problems emotionally and Physically that's the way the world looks at this when it comes to identity now when we talk about identity Perhaps there are some here that probably think of Bruce Jenner When you think about identity Of course, he struggled with gender identity That was his that's his that was his struggle in fact Jenner most of you guys know Announced earlier this year that he intended to live the rest of his life as a woman In fact just this past week in new york He was honored as one of glamour magazines women women of the women of the year And it's interesting because they actually interviewed this Him when he got this this award or this recognition he said this and I quote I came to the conclusion that you know what? Maybe this is why god put me on this earth to tell my story And maybe make a difference in the world. What a great opportunity in life to have I find that interesting because he included god in this old equation He's basically saying that listen the the reason why i'm who i am today according to him This is his identity. Maybe god put me on this earth to tell my story to tell people This is my identity and maybe god will help others through me Now it is a great opportunity as as as christians to influence or impact lives Through our identity but our identity in christ In fact We see that Some people in our world today when it comes to identity they try to identify themselves perhaps By their jobs or whatever they do that's kind of like how they're identified Another another area that they actually identify themselves is in their jobs their position You know their jobs or i'm sorry their degrees rather Whatever degree you get that's your identity if you get a phd.  I'd rather be called master than doctor. I said I like that I like that I like that. Why can't we call her master? Right anyways But some people identify themselves by their income level how much they make Are they poor are they are they rich? Some search for their identity in relationships And you see this of this variety of of search when it comes to identity and when it comes to the christian Christians can struggle with their identity as well You know, why am I here? I know I know jesus I i'm saved but but what is my purpose on this side? Of heaven They tend to kind of get lost who am I what is my purpose? The question is who does god say we are? That's the question I want to answer today and actually for the rest of the year to be honest with you That's the overall theme of this series that i'm calling identity. Who are you really? now We can either let the world tell us who we are Or we let god tell us who we are that's your choice And the question is who exactly are we in christ? Who are we in christ? Well, the christian faith is a very deep faith yet. It's very practical too It's very practical and I don't assume that every christian In this room and just in general Pray all the time read and study their bibles all the time Perhaps they don't do any of that stuff and when they don't they become kind of shallow in their faith They don't really know who they really are in christ because they're not giving themselves an opportunity to read the bible to study the bible And to understand their identity in christ And because of that they become limited in their knowledge You know one of the passions that paul the apostle had for the christians Especially in Ephesus was that he wanted them to understand their christian faith He wanted to understand the depth of their of their faith The power of their faith and he prayed for them and I wanted you guys to see this turn with me to Ephesians chapter one Ephesians chapter one verse 17 I love this prayer because paul you could tell his heart was just so pumped for these christians to grasp Who they are in christ to grasp their amazing faith in chapter one Of Ephesians at verse 17 notice what he says here He says He says I pray making prayers that the god of our lord jesus christ the father of glory May give you the spirit of wisdom and revelation and the knowledge of him The eyes of your understanding be enlightened That you may know what is the hope of his calling What are the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints And what is the exceedingly greatness of his power toward us who believe According to the working of his mighty power Which he worked in christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in heavenly places And he says far above all principalities and power and might and dominion and every name that is named Not only in this age, but also in the in that which is to come And he put all things under his feet and gave to him I gave him to be the head over all things to the church Which is his body the fullness of him who fills all in all Notice that paul's heart in verse 17 of chapter one of Ephesians He says i'm praying that god may give you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him That's a good prayer to pray for yourself I want to go deeper lord I want to understand you more because nobody in this place is never going to get to a place in their christian life Where you're going to say i already know everything to know that there is to know about jesus I already know everything about the christian life Nobody will ever get to that point And we see here that paul himself prayed that the christians Would be enlightened they get they would go deeper and understand the faith that they have in christ Because our faith in christ is amazing our faith in christ is powerful And paul says i don't want you guys to miss it And it's sad that there are a lot of christians today who are very shallow in their understanding of their own faith in christ They're not growing they're not understanding christ too much except just john 316 That god died for me on the cross nothing wrong with that, but there's more beyond the cross right There's more beyond the cross that christ wants to show us and that's what paul prayed So the question that i want to answer tonight one of the questions or one of the uh Yeah questions that i want to answer is who are you in christ? Well, the answer to that is you are a new person According to second corinthians 5 17 you are a new person. That's pretty simple, right? Well, what do you mean by a new person? Well, this is what i'm going to dissect chapter 5 Verse 17 for you tonight I'm just going to expound on this one verse Because this verse has so much and i'm not even going to do justice honestly I'm barely i'm barely going to touch the surface here because this verse has so much in it that because of our time I'm going to try to pull out as much as I can so let's look at verse 17. He says Very clearly therefore if anyone is in christ, he is a new creation All things have passed away behold all things have become new very first word therefore The word therefore refers back to verses 14 and six through 16 Where paul tells us that all believers have died with christs and no longer live for themselves I think that is a very first thing that a christian a born-again believer a brand new christian should understand that they no longer are living for themselves You have lost your rights There's nothing wrong with that I know today we're fighting for that right it's our rights But when it comes to the christian faith Having god call the shots is not bad It's okay with that. I'm okay And we see here clearly that paul says that our lives are are no longer worldly We are we are now spiritual people. We're spiritual people. We have been awakened Spiritually and I love that part. We have been awakened spiritually so Therefore anyone in christ notice what he says anyone in christ This is another thing that's important to establish right away that this truth are for those in christs That's very important Those who are born again You see a non christian cannot experience what paul here is talking about here. They cannot experience transformation Until they are united with christ Until they're united with christ listen to what paul said in first chrithians 2 14 He says the natural man does not receive the things of the spirit of god For they are foolishness to him nor can he know them because they are spiritually discerned Have you ever Had a conversation with a non christian And you trying to explain to them that your relationship with christ and they kind of look at you like you're crazy Or like really you really believe in this stuff See to us is real it's a life But to a non christian they look at you like what are you talking about? We see here very clearly that This is for those who are in christ and Notice this is also a promise To everyone Anyone that is united in christ will become new I mean god is a very creative god if you haven't noticed that as you read your bibles god is very creative A creative god can reach the most hopeless dark Tarkists lowliest the worst and the farthest away And he can reach them and He can make them new completely new You know as we come closer to the end of the year there are a lot of people today looking for change in their lives Perhaps some of you in here are doing that are probably looking forward to that There are people today. They want to experience newness something different in my life I am tired of living the way i've been living 2015 has been just nothing but problems and and issues I want to do something different There's there's a desire in people to want to have new things in their lives And they begin to change their lives Perhaps they want to change jobs. I'm tired of working here. I've been here for 10 years. It's time for me to move on Or perhaps is to have a promotion. I've been here for 10 years and I need to make more money Therefore i'm going to hit up my boss and say I need a promotion Something new something changing Or maybe it's maybe getting out of a relationship.  This is a girl young girl like 30 It's like, you know, I've been with them and this and that and I think we're we're met We're in for each other. I feel god has said yes. This is the man. He says no It's that's like so I broke up with him. You know something new i'm changing. This is it. I'm done Maybe it's a relationship on your end Or perhaps maybe it's the other way around where you're like, you know what this year I'm gonna find a husband. I'm gonna find a wife. This is it. I'm done being single You want something new the newness a change And we see very clearly that People can change Things on the outside But they won't change things on the inside You can change a lot of stuff on the outside But when it comes to the inside the person only god can do that Only god can cause a change like that And that is why paul says anyone in christ notice. What what is he a new creation? We become members of a new creation You know, the rabbis actually use this term to describe those whose sins Had been forgiven But this is not what paul has in mind paul understood this this whole phrase and what jews used the rabbis But paul has in mind god bringing the new creation into existence By sending christ into this old creation to transform it or to reconcile it That's what he's doing. That's what he's thinking about here He's talking about christ coming here to offer something new which is pretty cool pretty radical to be honest with you And i love this fact notice what he says here in verse 17. He says if anyone is in christ, he is He is This is a for sure thing And paul doesn't say i think they're going to become new creations I hope they do he says no those who are in christ He says they become new creatures. He is a new creation. This is a fact You know, there are many things in the christian life That are for sure And this is one of them here This is something you can count on the person that you're witnessing to when they come to christ You can promise them Confidently with boldness to say you know what you are now a new creation That's something that the bible gives us the authority to say Because that's what it says here. He is a new creation Now there are other things in scripture that are for sure That you can count on that i can say to you This is god's will. This is what we see in scripture.    I will come back I will come back That's awesome. Isn't it? It's kind of comforting My dad used to do that when I was little and I was left. I went to private school catholic school And I hated school. I think I shared this story with you. So i'm going to be quick But I hated school. I didn't want to go to school And I would cry throw up and all of that stuff as a little boy. I hated it, right? So I get in there and my dad drops me off and I just said you can't leave me And he would always say to me i'm coming back And so that kind of helped me out a little bit Still threw up a couple times during the day throughout the day But but it still but it helped me out my dad's words. I'm coming back So as I went to school went through my classes and whatnot at the end of the day Maybe about 30 minutes before the bell rang My dad would show up at the window because it was this big window I was sitting down and I remember the window was to my right and it was right there and the moment I saw my dad Man, I got so excited My dad came back That's so cool.  He's coming back And he's going to come back to take you That's a for sure thing we have in scripture another thing that we have for sure in scripture Is in philippians 1 6 that the work that god started in you he will complete it Isn't that great? Now, yeah, sometimes you're like I feel like man there's so much going on in my life It's really is he really going to finish this who you know this work? Yeah, he promised Philippians 1 6 he began a good work and you will complete it See the bible wouldn't use such strong terms if it wasn't sure So god will complete the work that he's doing in you right now You know the cool thing is that every person sitting here god is doing something different in you And he's going to complete the work. He's doing in you. That's so cool And god is so unique so creative that he's doing so many different things in your lives And the confidence that we have in scripture is that he's going to complete it Here's another thing that's for sure in scripture james 1 5. He says when we lack wisdom God will give you wisdom if you ask for it How many of you here have lack wisdom in life? Everybody better be on you. Come on if you don't I'm going to see a long line right here talking to me. How do you do that? Listen when we lack wisdom and we do I lack wisdom every single day in situations And decisions I have to make I said god I am stuck I honestly need some wisdom here and god will give you wisdom And he has a cool way to giving you wisdom It's very unique because the holy spirit will counsel you And all of a sudden you feel this tug heading in this Direction and you're like oh, this is the way you're supposed to go It's like god gives you the wisdom the direction of what you need to do and it's so natural but yet supernatural That's the thing that blows me away. God doesn't speak to me through clouds and lightnings and things like that There's just so simple things, but I recognize that god is in this That's the cool thing So I lack wisdom you lack wisdom Listen when you lack wisdom you go to prayer say god. I am stuck. I need your wisdom He will give it to you because he promised you that's what it says in james 1 5 Here's another for sure thing John 3 16 Very clear That if you trust in christ heaven is for you You have your way to heaven your ticket to heaven It's not a maybe but if you become born again as jesus says in john 3 16 Listen you have You will have your entrance into heaven. That's a for sure thing You don't have to wrestle with your thoughts in your mind. Am I going to go to heaven? Am I not going to go to heaven? What's going on this listen? It's a for sure thing if you are born again believer That's what god says So paul says here He is a new creation. It's a fact. It's a promise. This is what will happen Now this whole new creation this concept of new creation it freaks people out sometimes It does because the the conversations that that i've had with people sometimes people don't like new things People don't like new things. That's called neophobia Maybe you're neophobic today And what that means is basically the fear of anything new anything new Some of you probably have that If I were to move around your chairs here, you probably freak out. I was much I mean, you know, I mean as far as when it comes to church, right? It's like this is my seat I don't want nothing else That's beyond that.  Why because it's going to bring something new It's going to change their habits.  I believe who are neophobic They don't like to be changed. They don't like new things.  I want to stay in my comfort zone But we have a problem with that or you'll have a problem with that because god is into new things He's always looking for for doing new things so how Are christians a new creation in what sense are we new? Well, first of all, let me add this that it is god who creates new things in us You and I do not have the power to Create something new in our lives. It's god. That's his creative power. He does it himself We don't have that power. It's his job. It's his work God created something entirely fresh and unique and that's you You and I are a fresh work of god And we continue to be a fresh work of god. That's the cool thing about it You see god did not reform us He did not rehabilitate us. We have completely become new and transformed This is the whole thing about what paul is trying to under uh make us understand and trying to communicate to us The god didn't just clean us up patch us up and says okay now you're new No, listen christ has made you and i brand new Brand new you know what that means You know what it means to have something new When you go from an old car to a brand new car You know that you know that that that that feel that experience of driving a new car versus your 1990 whatever oldsmobile Not that i don't like oldsmobiles if you do have one i'm not you know knocking down on your car But but you know what i'm saying I mean to get into a brand new car You know the smell of a new car that the the nice seats and you can't even hear the road because everything's so new There's not a creek in it. There's nothing. There's no cracking enough.  There we go. It's done He didn't do that He literally made you new And and and he did not reform us like i said, but he actually made us new no What do you have that's brand new? Well, what you have is this you have a new desire for the things of god You have a brand new desire for the things of god You did not have it before Well, robert i was a religious person. Yeah, i saw his eye And and there were some things that intrigued me about god But i'd never had the desire for the things that i have now when it comes to those things about god that those it was totally different Yeah, i was curious about god, but but being on this side now on this end. It's totally different. The desire is totally new Well, what kind of desires do i have now? Well? People have a new desire to know more of jesus To know more of jesus He's becoming exciting in your life You're not just satisfied with knowing john 3 16 and just your basic things But now you're like i want to know more of christ. I want to get to know more I want to study him And you begin to kind of study god What else do you have new for desire?  Probably not right somebody might have handed you a bible like oh, so you thumped through it and you're like oh, this is kind of cool But now the bible has become something more Now you just can't wait To come to church to hear the bible taught you can't wait to get home to study a little bit more We have so many resources like i shared with you We have our chapel store with so many resources for you to Goodbye and to use at your own personal time to learn more of god's word that desire is brand new You do not have it before i do not have it before But you do now You also have a desire to talk to god There's a comfort in knowing that you can talk to god You ever find yourself just pouring out your heart to the lord just sometimes you're driving or you're at home or whatever You're just like lord and you just and then you catch the wow i'm I'm talking to god. This is cool, but there's a comfort There's a peace that comes upon your own life because you know he's listening And you're not just talking up in the air. You're not just trying to you know Create this god in your mind. There's something real about it And it's so cool when you can carry on conversations with god There's a desire in your heart when you're going through a problem or an issue whatever it is the first thing that comes to your mind Is i need to talk to god Perhaps i need to talk to somebody who knows god.  I'm thinking of mommy, okay She'll say mommy daddy pray Four-year-old that's so awesome that she even understands the importance of praying over people when they're hurting That's so cool And that's the desire that we have as christians as a new creation is that all of a sudden We're praying over people that are hurting people that you don't even know You know when I see a high speeds chase i'll pray for that person lord in jesus name Just have them stop before they get shot or something You know have them stop protect the people that are that are you know that they're flying by and and all this I mean i just begin to pray because it's actual live. It's it's actually live right there We begin to pray for people to need desire that we have Another thing that we have another new thing is that we desire to sing praises to god Your love for jesus is not only expressed through the the study of his word But now you just want to sing to him and you don't it doesn't matter if you know how to sing, huh?  You're singing you're thinking man I got to be with this heelsong group because I sound really good Right Doesn't matter how you sound.  Are they are they christ? Are they born again?  But you and there is none upon earth that I desire besides you isn't that awesome Isn't that what happened when you became a new creation all of a sudden your desires change and now you're like lord You are my desire now You have become my prime desire Now insane all of that I just want to remind you that that at its roots christianity is all about what god did for us Not what we can do or should do for god He did it all It was him who put that desire in you It was him who transforms your life and you're just basically responding to the work of the holy spirit It was totally his work.  This is where I get kind of I guess um I don't know what word to use but anyways, I'm just thinking you know People that say they're christians and there's no evidence in their lives I never judge people eternally because god can always give people a chance to get right with him But when somebody says very confidently that i'm a christian and and there's no fruits Nothing in their life Would tell me that they're connected to christ I have a hard time with it And I try not to be judgmental. I try not to be mean But I try to explain That a christian there's got to be some evidence something in them Even if it's a little thing that they're connected to christ that they're united in christ Because if they're not showing any kind of evidence, then it's either one. They're not saved or two. They don't understand Jesus they don't know What it means to be a christian if we are in christ It should be evidence just as being in the world is Equally evident I mean, don't you know the people that are in the world, right? It's pretty evident, right? I mean really it is and you look at somebody totally living for themselves. You're like Yep, humanism there it is And you see a christian who says i'm a christian yet They're still living in this humanistic way you're thinking I'm having a hard time here because I could tell a worldly person I I you say yep, that's the person who's not connected to christ But if a person says i'm a christian yet they're acting like them there's a problem there We pray for them. We love them Our identity in christ should be recognizable both to ourselves and to others You know this past week I ran into this young guy early 20s. He just got saved recently and um Basically he was uh at work. I was working and um he was at the station k wave and I was there talking to the guy and And I just went out as I was leaving going home He he followed me and we were talking on our way out and he's explaining to me His new life in christ amazing when this guy was just on fire Jesus is my life now I am done living for myself and this and that and he's just going on and on and on and on and on And he was just sharing with me and of course at first i'm thinking oh, man You know this guy's kind of like tripping out on me here. You know what I mean? You know, it's just he's weird. I don't know why I thought that but but then as he was talking and talking And he's he's really being genuine about it And as we get out towards the parking light as I'm leaving I said, you know, because I'm I'm I'm wanting to get home You know what I mean? He just kept talking say hey man, keep it up, dude. He goes.  Stay close to Jesus. Okay as I'm walking away. He goes. Hey, can I just have a hug? I was like Sure You know and it's like this guy was totally excited for christ That's evidence right there. Something happened definitely something happened and yet we see here that Paul is saying that you know what when you're a new creation something changes in your life Paul the apostle is a great example to be to be honest with you here He was a great example in x chapter 9. We knew exactly where his passion was. He hated christians He wanted them dead. He wanted them imprisoned and after his conversion. What happened? He began to pray for christians Love christians I mean all these things that he was actually doing was just amazing because he was literally transformed God changed his life. It was evident to the rest of the people there So now what does he say notice it says here in verse 17 Anyone in christ, he's a new creation All Things have passed away All things have passed away guys. Listen. This is huge Okay, huge The old refers to everything that is part of our old nature Natural pride love of sin reliance on works and our former opinions habits passions, especially the supreme love of ourselves and Self-righteousness self promotion self justification All things the word old things in the greek is just one word and The greek word means antiques or the original lifestyle It means that something is really old It doesn't refer to things that you have given up Since you've come to christ's because this word in the greek doesn't refer to This generation or past generation the word is always used for something that is ancient Or old really old So what is he saying here? Well, he's basically talking about something that is ancient This word actually was used or is used in scripture by jesus matthew chapter five verse 21 When jesus said you have heard of what was said of those of old speaking of the patriarchs of the prophets Revelation chapter 12 verse 9 same word is used speaking of satan that serpent of old something that was way back So it does not necessarily refer to your pasts But to your entire old sin nature It's old which is much older than you It's much older than you Listen to this roman's 519 for as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners So also by one man's obedience Many will be made Righteous This is important because this is what paul says has passed by It's passed by the word pass means to disappear or to come to an end I'm going to explain this to you because i'm sure you're thinking wait, but sin's still in my life There's still we're living a fallen world I'll explain this in a moment But this has passed away. It's disappearing. It's disappeared. It has disappeared For example revelation 21 verse 1 I saw the new heaven and a new earth for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away Also, there was no more sea Fast forwarding up to the revelation 21 our future Life our future world this world will pass away. It will literally disappear. It's gone We can't go back to it A day is coming when everything will disappear Well, all the stuff that we see we're going to experience this all the evil that we experience now all the suffering will be gone It will pass away And you know, that's why john actually encouraged us in first john 217 don't love the world remember that Well, why john because the world is what? Passing away and the lust of it, but he who does the will of god abides forever This stuff is just going to be gone. So all things have passed away All things have passed away You know when jesus came to earth He divided history into two sections Before christ and after christ The bc years i call them the bc years before christ when i was not in christ those days are gone Those days are completely gone. I cannot go back. I don't want to go back to robert baltadano I'm sorry 18 years ago That's my whole life that that's gone What paul here has in mind is more than just our past Our old position in adam Our old position in adam that brought spiritual death slavery Bondage all has passed away. What do you mean robert? That means that you are no longer held captive to sin It's gone. See that was part of your identity in adam You were in adam before you were in christ. You were a sinner.  You remember any fusions? All of this stuff was your position in adam, but now paul says you are a new creation that has passed away You're no longer in adam. Now your identity is in who? in christ It's in christ's our old position the presence of sin is still a reality. Don't get me wrong This is where i'm thinking you guys are like does it mean that we can live perfectly? No perfection will never be accomplished on this side of heaven Until you get into heaven and you leave this body But what i'm trying to say is that sin has lost its power Sin has lost its power. It's no longer it no longer has authority over you Unless you give it authority Do you know that Unless you give it authority If you give death or i'm sorry sin authority in your life It will take you for a ride and and some of you know what i'm talking about here We live in christ we strive to honor christ will never be sinless But as we get older in christ we will sin less We will know those areas that we were caught all the time now those things are kind of distant Those things are just moving away from us because we're smarter. We know what it's like But now it's different and this is what paul is trying to communicate to us that this has passed away And because your identity is no longer in adam What really has passed away is death Death has passed away spiritual death.  I think that's kind of cool I mean, this is what paul said in 1st Corinthians 1554 So when this corruptible has put on incorruption and this mortal has put on immortality Then shall be brought to pass the same that is written death is swallowed up in what? Victory you're not great It's awesome. You're secured.  I'm telling you right now Well, you know what circumstances issues Sometimes we'll kind of Block us from understanding that that new creation We don't feel new the struggle of our with our old nature is for real but the cool thing is that We've been given a different nature the nature of christ, which is sinless Which is righteousness and now We have two things that we're wrestling with you have your old nature, but you have christ in you And those two natures what we'll clash right? This is where the struggle is this is where the battle is and we're going to battle this Till the end of the of our lives listen to what paul said in Galatians 5 17 For the flesh lusts after the spirit against the spirit and the spirit against the flesh And these are contrary to one another so that you do not do the things that you wish how many of you guys Know what i'm talking about There's a desire to want to do right for god, but there's always something that comes against you, right? Your flesh Perhaps it's a friend You know you're here you're taking into scripture as you're like excited. You're like oh man This is good.  It's it's a done deal You you will have victory We're the ones that caused this to become a struggle because We have that tendency to always be leaning towards doing things that are not right So he says it here very clearly that your position in adam has passed away because now you're in christ With new desires.  And this is why he said here. He says behold. I love that He explodes there in verse 17. He says behold all things have become new It's a sudden note of triumph and wonderment Behold he says All things have become new we are brand new people This newness is a continual action. It's everlasting. It doesn't grow old within time Christianity does not grow old Your faith in christ doesn't grow old When you hear people say, you know, I've been a christian for 50 years and uh, it's just boring It's kind of old. It was exciting back when I was 20, but now it's not That's not christianity Because christianity will never grow old You know what i'm saying? So when you hear people say that You're like you lost it there, sir ma'am because The wonderful thing about being saved is that you and I get to experience not only a new life But we get to experience a new work that god is doing in our lives daily He's doing something new daily. That's a great thing is that god is on he's he's into new doing new work He's always looking for new things to do in us practically. That is why paul says we are all A workmanship Remember that in Ephesians 2 10 We are his workmanship created in who christ jesus for good works We're his workmanship. He is constantly doing something new You're a work of art that he keeps doing he keeps working with you That's the hope that we have as christians no matter if you're 20 or you're 60 or 80 doesn't matter. He's doing a new work in your life That's who god is He wants to do new things in your life So to conclude The new creation is a wondrous thing formed in the mind of god And created by his power for his glory That the things we once loved We once held dear to us We now detest Part of the new creation the sin we once held on to We now desire to put away forever We are experiencing a newness in life Daily And as we transition into our communion tonight Let that be An exciting thing for you tonight As a reflect back on the death of christ Because of what he did on the cross You are now new people And because of that We should be thankful We should this this communion should have a totally different experience for you personally Because you can thank god for sending jesus to done the cross for you And we can thank them together As we take this communion we can praise god because the old has passed away. You are no longer in adam You are now in christ's you're no longer objects of wrath But your objects of god's love objects of god's grace And as we come together here To do this celebration of communion Just remember you have a lot to be thankful for And not only that But it's something for you to to spend time personally And say lord Continue


Yeah, so I'm pretty far out in comparison to all the other talks I've been excavating together with colleagues from the Russian Academy of Sciences since 2017 in southern Siberia and I've just come back from a full month field campaign about a week ago And so everything I'm going to tell you is very preliminary I'm trying to give you like a rough overview of the history of the project and about the finds that we had this year And I'm really happy to take suggestions and new ideas in because we're really just trying to wrap our head around What we found and this ton of data that we have now So we started with a sort of initial question Trying to reinvestigate the earliest quote-unquote skitian period in the eastern Eurasian steppes and in the 1970s Gryaznopad excavated Artan I this is sort of this Really important site that kind of remained unique for a very long time Really defining the earliest skitian horizon on its own Of course, we have plenty of later burial mounds that have been excavated in the region all dating to Aldebel period and later but from this Eurasian horizon We really just had Eurasian one and then since 2013 Eurasian five Which was only partially excavated but seems to date to a similar time period For those who don't know this complex it has this really unique kind of radial structure of wood beams Underneath it, which we really didn't have any other examples for for a very long time So what we were trying To do is find another burial mound and essentially dates to this time period Well since the 70s we made some progress Methodology-wise and therefore I think it merits sort of a reinvestigation especially trying to figure out How the bronze age late bronze age leads over into the early iron age and the emergence of the the skitian phenomenon Um, there's been plenty of surveys done in The Uyuk valley the quote-unquote valley of the kings in Siberia um One of the earlier ones actually Matt by Gryazin of himself and it features this Dot number eight here on the map, which is completely lonely on the southern bank of the river, which Is strange because usually they know Existing in larger formations But really most of the burial mounds that we know of are on the northern side of the river and so Just already its position in the landscape Is somewhat strange So first we looked at it from satellite imagery And it appeared that there's something like radial features Already apparent from space We then went in we did a small-scale excavation try to find datable material We bumped into some really well preserved wood that we were able to date to the ninth century bc Which was really early it was surprisingly early and therefore published a small paper We also tried to check if there's anything else on the southern river terrace and At least in terms of size and composition we can say no there isn't We do have a few smaller monuments in the area. We have Later structures, of course, but in terms of really these large relatively flat burial mounds There's nothing similar in the vicinity Nicely enough in Elban radar, which is usually relatively useless for archaeology. I mean like yes, of course you can discover Palo river channels and investigate the Palo landscape, but for direct detection of Burial mounds, it's not particularly useful because of its Rather coarse resolution, but in our case it works really well Probably due to the long wavelength and the deeper penetration of the ground in this case So we published the first paper and then decided to start a larger project Because what we found in 2017 made us really curious Um This year we've done some geomagnetometry on the place in order to get a better overview over The general architecture and what we found was absolutely not visible from Just walking over the site was that it has this really nice circle Of stone circles around it and again Inside the burial mound walking over it With the geomagnetometer You do detect these radial structures um The surface of the mound is extremely bumpy It's very hard to conduct a geophysical survey on it So we had to kind of help ourselves building these bridges over all the so we could like have a reasonably Steady walk and nice lines going over it And Then this summer we finally got to break ground Inside the main burial mound and what we found was Actually what we expected You know deriving some sort of idea from Arjan one we wanted to find a sort of wood construction and this is clearly it um So we also have this radial wood construction that we have in Arjan one beautifully preserved wood the one here on the upper left is about 280 year old Large log, so that will be really nice for expanding on the dendro curves of For for to vinyan archaeology But what is very interesting and was very different from Arjan one is that this entire wood construction is covered in clay architecture And for that we really again we do not have any close parallels The main thing that we were able to come up with was Togiskin north Where you have burial mounds with actual clay architecture in them, but that's fairly far away And so currently we're trying to figure out how to draw our parallels and where to make comparisons because that Seems to tell us something where like Where these things are coming from where is this idea coming from and that's one of the big questions we have right now Um, of course, we have absolutely no problem dating this burial mound There's plenty of material for radiocarbon and actually, uh wiggle matching which We did with one of the of the smaller logs With five dates and landed with a nice date in the 9th century So, um, it still has a little bit of overlap with Arjan one, but it seems to be slightly older definitely dates to Uh, the right period here um in terms of finds it's Very poor so far, uh on the main burial mound We have a little bit of a broken worst gear We have some things that seem to date early skidding in the periphery Immediately associated with the mound, but uh once in a while you bump into something that you didn't really expect And so what we found here is actually in stratigraphic context um One of these Eurasian chariot depictions that to my knowledge, um, haven't been Directly stratigraphically dated up to this point. Of course, we know they date to the bronze age Through the perils that we have, but it's nice to Find something that you can actually directly date Here on the right side, you see, uh, so this, uh chariots petroglyph Was found broken face down Inside the filling of a pit and the pit was undisturbed as you can see there's a whole wooden log leading over the burial pit here um so, uh We started a slightly differently though 2018 because well, we didn't want to start right Going into the main burial mound as Established the things in the periphery are really important as well and When you look at this picture, then it's like, okay, there's a nice peripheral monument That is clearly indicated through the vegetation um So we were like, yep, that's the place to start to have like some preliminary understanding unfortunately, uh In that particular campaign we did not have the money for geophysics and that led to I can say a mistake now that I know because once we started opening up, um this part We had stones and we had stones and stones and stones and it did not stop By now we have over 50 individual stone monuments in the sun periphery um And we've excavated over three and a half thousand square meters. We're drawing close. So we were getting there most of it has been documented and removed now And uh, interestingly, we do have materials from the Bronze Age, uh, Okuneba pottery through, uh, early Scythian period late Scythian period into, uh Coquille time and all Turkey Kyrgyz and later. So this is entire periphery in the south of the mound that, um Yeah, it's really rich and it essentially covers About a 2,500 year long span in time Um, the main thing we have though most of the remains dates to the Coquille period Which is a very local culture. It doesn't seem to have a lot of direct cultural connections beyond the borders of Tuva um, but nonetheless a lot of interesting stuff coming up and I'm Very happy Marco made it. Um, he's our anthropologist and he was on site this summer And um, we have anthropology wise quite interesting, uh Findings, so we have for example this burial Well, we have a really nice preserved Uh, wood coffin where we have a compressed layer of wood bones and then again a compressed layer of wood We also have this really strange crouch positions where basically in the kneecaps or on shoulder height So it seems to have been wrapped. We're trying to Uh, possibly make some sense out of that get some fine cuts of the long bones and see if there have been Uh, people working with uh, with preserving these bones using the animal bones as a baseline Uh, another thing we have is massive, uh trauma and violence. We have, uh Really mean chops and arrow heads to the head We have collective burials where the adults have, um, arrowheads in the spine in the pelvis in the chest area And the two children have arrowheads, uh in the skulls So, um, that is something that is very apparent. It seems to run through the entire population No matter age or sex Um, and we have some really strange, uh, kind of composite skeletons that we've come across In, uh The laugh case, uh, the head doesn't really seem to fit the body In the right case, uh, we have the head being substituted by sheep vertebra So, um, there's some things going on and I think that there's some parallels to tashti culture where we Know that there have been some alterations with, uh, human bodies post mortem But this is very much part of ongoing research Um, you were quickly mentioning well barrel landscapes. It's definitely a topic that, uh, has kind of a wider significance and in terms of methodology Um and protection of these landscapes, uh It's definitely something we can do published recently two papers one trying to Um look into, uh, how damaged these things are trying to monitor ongoing damage seeing if it's even possible to get a good impression of, uh, the conditions of these burial mounds and then, um Just about what two weeks ago or so, um, we published a paper on convolutional neural networks trying to Really large-scale detect, uh burial mounds from open source satellite imagery And getting a better idea what's actually out there Yeah


Billy The Anointed is a sub-bus located on Eden 6 within the Jacob's Escape area and man or man ruin some ammo because this dude absolutely tanks. He has a legendary, an exclusive legendary called the Wild Lead Spruunkler and this is an assault rifle with a punch. Today I bring you Billy's location as well as a look at this weapon.  Splish Splash, the Wild Lead Spruunkler, the weapon exclusive to Billy The Anointed. This Jacob's rifle has a minus 22% weapon damage and a minus 25% critical hit damage. Now exactly what these minus numbers mean I ain't too sure but what I would probably think is this will give some buff to certain builds in the game I believe or maybe offer some kind of extra special perk? Either way I ain't exactly sure but if you do know let me know down below in that comment section what do these minus stats mean on certain weapons. So Billy The Anointed is located within the mansion on Eden 6 in the Jacob's Escape area and to find him you will see on the screen now and it's quite a trek people. Excuse me for getting a little lost along the way within the mansion but I do get there in the end. So yeah guys this is the exclusive Billy The Anointed drops, good luck if you decide to try and farm this as always there is a spawn point nearby which will assist you in an efficient farming method. Again good luck but on that note we have come to the end of the video, if you guys enjoyed leaving a like really helps out if you have a new idea and want more Bond Land 3 videos be sure to subscribe and if you never want to miss a video I upload you can turn notifications on by hitting that bell button.

What if you want to get the message of a YouTube video more quickly? Well, you can speed up the video. So when you're playing a YouTube video, I've turned off the volume of this one so you can hear it. When you're playing YouTube video, just click on the gear icon and here it says normal for speed. Click on speed and try 1.5. You can try these other ones too, but 1.5 is usually good to get the message without having to go too fast. So I hope that's helpful and enjoy.


Mike, would you like to discuss anything in particular regarding the what I'm presenting? Um, no, just general interest. I've been doing a little bit of micro Python with 32 and ESP 8266. So I'm just generally curious what you're up to. I'm merging the web services, especially AWS, Lambda, EC2 services to the. The part. So I'll teach. Most students ask about the hardware requirements or can they build low cost solutions? So I'm working with the basic hardware set up the connection to web services. Select if I can tell one case study. This interesting project brought by my student. She was planning to put a GPS or GSM system on the railways in India to track them. So I said, that's not a necessity. We can use the data. So we hosted the web scraping code on Python. From there, we use the data to generate a real time location so that we can. Intimate in the stations, railway stations or crossings also. So that way I'm trying to merge the web services. So little bit of that. Not solid in services, but I serial is very interesting. I serial flask requests, beautiful soup. Very helpful, especially for reducing the hardware cost. And same way for agriculture also, or even for air quality monitoring. Air quality monitoring systems are very costly, especially in India. It's say, if I can tell in dollars, some 200 to $300. For large cities collecting it from various places is a big task. So once we collect, we'll put it on the server from there. Everywhere they can collect the air quality index or even temperature precipitation. We have these websites. Unfortunately, we don't have the APIs for many of our Indian websites. So right now I'm using scraping methods. Plus a little bit about pi serial. Mike any thoughts or. I guess these things are pretty confusing, but because I'm a teacher I keep interacting with the students. I keep bringing the things to as basic levels as possible. I guess we have another guest. I will say with my experimentation with ESP 32, I mean pie serial usually gives me fits of trying to get that configured. Okay. What I do is I cast the values. Most often the problem is with the objects integer types float types. So I keep converting them between one type to another type. Sometimes that helps. Maybe while writing the data to microcontroller instead of sending the string. Sometimes I play with the integer or floated values or break them and merge them at the microcontroller. But I agree pie serial is a little bit of even setting it up is a big task. Yeah. Yeah. So even Google collab. Installing the dependencies for pie serial is a big task. Many different services are coming in. I'm thinking of creating a basic environment which can be hosted anywhere. Right now working on that part. And again, if not pie serial directly to the microcontroller, we can scrape the data. We can skip the pie serial part from Python hosted website. We can take the data directly to the microcontroller. That is also one option. I serial good for like I have indicated in this part. If we have images, videos or lots of data to be communicated. Or say small area, some radius of 500 meters or so pie serial does its job. But again, like you said, it's a tough task for basic works. It's good. And again pie serial alone won't help. Many times I use below also imaging library. And some machine learning tools also. This is about a bit of this and that. There is no single solution. I hope Mike I'm not confusing the things. Nope, sounds good. Makes sense to me. Yeah. Which microcontrollers are you're using in your case? I'm sticking to NodeMCU, which uses 8266. The main reason is our students can't afford costlier hardware. So ESP8266 with built-in Wi-Fi. Earlier used to work with Raspberry Pi. I have. I mean, I tried to do micro Python with the ESP8266. I mean, it just. It's been a couple of years since I've tried some things that probably improve, but I just didn't get very good performance. Luckily you are into corporate work. So maybe trying out new things will be a problem. I will put in a word with my students. Hopefully some of them come up with a good comparison. What are the past few years. But right now I'm sticking with Python. Because of the versatile libraries it has. Some twitch here and there. Many things can be done. Yesterday in a lightning talk demonstrated how to analyze music and create a disco jockey. Very simple stuff. Pi Serial helped a lot. Hello, Macy. Glad to have you here. Let me know if I can clarify any part of the posters. Did you say you were using some type of pollution sensor? Yeah. Which, which, you know, which sensor that was. I think the BHT 11. Let me do a quick search and confirm the actual configuration. I keep working with a lot of sensors. But it's a good one means provides a PPM of. 10 and lower also. Particular matters. Can you say that again? What was the part number of the sensor? Yeah, just confirming. Oh, sorry. I'm just going through the report. Students report. Yeah. And just post telling for the reference. My track. Yeah. Yes. This is the advantage and disadvantage of teaching. I can ask my students to work on the things. Yes. But I don't exactly remember the. Data sheets and. Part numbers. Yeah. No, just, I thought you might know. So. Yeah, I just posted it on the discord. Well, thank you for your insights. I'm going to jump over to another session.


Going on everyone Sam here with late in sports cards. We are ripping one box the 22 leaf art of hockey for Shane W So good luck here. Shane see what we got buddy.

Thank you as always for your support my friend empty empty Get those right out to you Very nice


Gotcha. What's up, money geeks? Mr. V here. Welcome to another video, guys. So in today's video, we are going to talk about ticket symbol INO, Inovio Pharmaceutical. Again, this is one of the plays that is working on a vaccine for COVID-19 and I've covered that here on the channel. I've told you guys why I think this company has a huge potential. If you haven't watched any of the videos, I'm definitely going to hook them here so you can go watch them. But in today's video, I want to talk about why the stock actually spiked this week. For some reason, the stock has been just slipping in the last five months. There hasn't been a ton of price movement, but it just kind of jumped and spiked. So that's what I wanted to cover in today's video. But before we get started, guys, if you're new to the channel, we talk about how to earn money, how to save money, how to invest and build wealth. So if that's something that interests you, go ahead and hit that subscribe button and the notification bell so you don't miss out on new content. So again, guys, when it comes to Inovio, this is one of the companies that is working on a vaccine for COVID-19, like I've said, and the difference between the vaccine and all the other guys that you see in the market, like Pfizer and Modena, is because those companies do the traditional mRNA vaccine and Inovio is working on a ZNA vaccine, which it's groundbreaking. It's something that has never been done before. And so that is the approach that they're doing. So not only are they building or working on vaccines for COVID-19, they're also working on other vaccines for cancer and some other infectious diseases. So that's where I really like the company. But so far, they've been getting into some huddles with the FDA partially or slowly blocking them from continuing their trials and stuff like that. So I'm not going to get into the details of that. But the reason why I want to talk about the stock moving was, let's jump right here in the news. Let me show you guys. So there was actually a call on Reddit on Monday. Somebody had called to action on Reddit that they should take a look at Inovio. And that actually, when people started looking at it, that stock moved. And then the other reason why the stock also moved was that these guys, BlackRock, actually invested more money into the company. So right now, they have about 14.2 million shares of Inovio, which is about 8.4 percent of the company. So those two things put together are the reasons why the stock has been moving. Again, if you notice, the stock can move to a new high, I think a five month high compared to where it was trading before. A lot of people, again, on Reddit were mad that the FDA is corrupt, that the FDA is actually favoring the big pharmaceutical companies like the Pfizer's and the Modena and the Johnson and Johnson, and they are not giving Inovio the same shot that they gave to all the companies. So there's some corruption in there. And people are the people working, they are favoring those bigger companies than Inovio. So again, if you think about what happened with GameStop and them going against Wall Street, it's pretty much the exact same thing. You look as like, hey, we're going to fight corruption by showing people or exposing the stock to making sure that the stock really, the company is doing something good. So that is one of the two reasons why this company has been popping. So let's look at the chart. The stock has just been quiet the last five months, not so much movement. It pulled down to as low as like eight dollars and some change. And then just slowly, but this is this week where these things just went crazy and went to a high of about $19 and then pulled back this morning when I was doing this video, sitting somewhere about $14 and some change. But again, guys, this is a company that to me is working on changing how we create vaccines. So I'm giving them the long term benefit here. I don't want to rush this one. So if you're looking for some quick gains, this is definitely not a stock for you to invest in. So I picked up some positions and I'm holding this one long term. Again, when the stock went down to like eight, nine dollars, I added some more in my position and I'm going to keep building each time it drops. Right now, I wouldn't say jump in. Just wait, because as soon as this whole thing quiet down, I anticipate that the price of the stock is going to drop again. The only catalyst that I see that would move the price is when they have like an FDA approver or some good news about their vaccine. But right now, the fact that the only thing that pushed the price of the stock up is Reddit. We've seen what happened to GameStop. It went up to 500 and came down to under a hundred dollars. That would be the same thing. Yeah, I don't want to use that as a catalyst to jump into a stock. So wait for a pullback. A good entry point for the stock would be somewhere around ten dollars. If you can catch the stock at nine, ten dollar price point, load up on the stock and just sit and wait. Again, like I said, this one is a long term play. This is not a win tomorrow play. Give it time because as soon as this vaccine gets out there, there are so many good things about the company and the vaccine that these other vaccines that we have on the marketplace cannot even compete with. So definitely consider if you have a little chunk of money that you think you can put on the site and not worry about making a profit or growing it in the next five, six months, then you can definitely invest in this company. Again, guys, I've talked about, you know, if you're here, cover in depth. Go check out the videos and you're going to explain to you why the vaccine is better than the other vaccines that are currently in the market. And so that is my personal take. Again, right now, a good entry point would be that nine, ten dollar price point. And then wait, we'll see where it's going to go. We've seen a company like Moderna go from nineteen dollars to one hundred and eighty or two over two hundred dollars, I think, and just just because of the vaccine. So once this company gets to that point, you're going to see the price is going to move following the news if they get approved by the FDA. So that's my take. Let me know in the comment section what you think. If you haven't already started a position again, like I said, guys, don't jump in right now, pump the brakes, wait for that pull back before you get it. Because if you buy it now, you're going to be holding it back. Trust me, don't do it. Don't buy it at the top and then sell at the bottom. That's the wrong way to invest. It's got to be the other way around. You got to buy at the bottom and sell at the top. So when you see this, I mean, get away, get away from your computer.  Don't think I'm missing out on this one. Unless you are day trading it, don't go by this position right now. I think you want to hold it because you're going to end up holding it back. So wait, it's going to come to you. Set that price point of 9 to 10 dollars. It's going to come back to you and then you can get in. If you're new to the channel, guys, we talk about how to earn money, how to save money, how to invest and build wealth. So if that's something that interests you, go ahead and hit that subscribe button and any notification bell to don't miss out on new content. Also, if you're looking to get started with investing, we highly recommend Weibo, definitely go check out the links in the description below. And also, guys, if you're looking to support my work, the best way is to give it a thumbs up and share it with somebody that will find it useful. And as always, guys, do your due diligence.


YouTube team keep it clean. What's going on? It's engraving here with another video and Packers fans I really want to hit from Packers fans. Shout out to my guy KDG Shout out to my guy Darnell logo, but Packers fans y'all signed Mercedes-Lewis Mercedes-Lewis They apparently they felt like tight end was a problem and they wanted to address it and they have been addressing it This off-season they I mean they signed Somebody who at one point When free agency first begun He was probably the hottest free agent tight end out there, which was the Jimmy Graham And then now they continue to add to the position. We're signing Mercedes-Lewis Somebody who's been around a game for a while now. He's been around a game for actually well It's been a been a long time So shout out to Mercedes for longevity but he's been around a game for a while and If if there's any any quarterback's team to go to and if you just want to continue your career And you want to continue it at a high level. I think Packers is a pretty good move So with Mercedes-Lewis, I don't think he's gonna be complaining at all about joining the Packers I mean going from Blake Bortles to Aaron Rodgers I mean, I don't think anybody will complain about that at all and it's not even a slight to Blake Bortles It's just that Aaron Rodgers is Aaron Rodgers. So I just hope when you catch them spirals I hope when you catch those back shoulder throws. I hope when you catch those those fades in the back of the end zone Hope your hands are ready, man. Shout out to the packs for getting Mercedes-Lewis


we start guys with Zach Wilson we've probably seen the last of them but you know have we if Tim Boyle goes out and gets injured on Friday against the Miami Dolphins unless they make Zach Wilson the number three quarterback we're gonna see him again so I don't want to just blanket say that's the end of his career with the Jets but I think it's a viable quarterback for the Jets it should have never been this case anyway and I think moving forward they've been embarrassed enough and I've egg on the face enough that it can't be again I'm just kind of mad because you know five minutes ago was all well it's not all his fault and he's getting better I guess he's not because you just pulled the plug on his season and rightfully so but this could have been done three weeks ago guys come on is anything that different after the Buffalo game that was after you felt after the Vegas game after you felt about the charger game after you felt about the giant game give me a break now all of a sudden when your season is effectively over you pull the plug and the only way you pull the plug guys is because you are done with him so the only thing that would really make sense is that he's not dressing for the game against Miami and that there's another backup quarterback to Boyle which would be that Simeon then dresses and that Zach is done because what are you gonna go through it again for because Boyle could get hurt why not this offensive line stinks and then it's back to Wilson again how many more chances you get so if you're gonna because if your season I know it's not mathematically over but we know this team isn't going to make the playoffs and you decide to pull the plug then I think by pulling the plug you're effectively really saying it's done dead on arrival Simeon's your backup to Boyle and he never plays another down for the jets again just to set yourself up for him playing another game would make you look like the biggest embarrassment in the world do not dress him he should never play another down for the jets again period um I don't mean to disagree with that how could you go back again we already played that game last year it's even worse this year I just wonder Michael yesterday what was the actual decision-making process that they went all right that was it two minutes left in the third quarter this is the moment we're ending the experiment because you could have done this so much earlier to try to salvage the season I wonder who made the decision and why they made it when they did well I think it was just out of desperation because throughout this whole ordeal I've been having contact with people within the jet organization because I keep saying well why does that keep playing why does that keep playing and the answers I kept getting back the other guys are not better than this guy and if you look at if take a deep dive everybody listening take a deep dive on Tim Boyle he's awful he's awful you're not exactly plugging in let's say Joshua Dobbs you're not Tim Boyle is about what Zach Wilson is and you'll see that on Friday against the Dolphins and Trevor Simeon has had a history of not being a great quarterback I think Peter the answer to the question is they were a rock bottom and they figured they can't go any lower right and they had to have some sort of change but they truly don't believe that Tim Boyle's better they just think maybe maybe just a different look will solve things their season slipping away if they lose on Friday they're dumb you can't say mathematically they're done now but if they lose Friday it's over but but but you made the change so they have to think the season's over now because if if the feeling was that Wilson gives them the best chance to win then all of a sudden with two minutes to go in the third quarter you decide right now is the time we think Boyle gives us a better chance to win no they all of a sudden didn't he didn't all of a sudden become a better quarterback and listen Wilson is no worse than he was at the start of the season and so it to me whether whether Salah wants to admit it coming up later on in this hour or whether anybody around the Jets wants to admit it they were telling you we think we're done and we're done with Wilson we're done with this season let somebody else play but don't you think don if they think they're done why not just play Wilson out well I mean what good is it Tim Boyle's not your future Trevor Simeon's not your future maybe Wilson find something I just think that they made the change because they were desperate because so bad no because I think somebody finally because I I still believe that there was there was some sort of an order some sort of an edict that Wilson had to play I don't I don't know whether it was actually said or understood or assumed or whatever it was that Salah flew in the face of that and I think Salah probably just enough I'm gonna end up losing my job anyway I cannot continue in good conscience to continue to send him out there I've got another room of players who need to play somebody else has to play everybody I'm holding Carter accountable for a penalty I'm a releasing guys because they're not playing well and I'm going to continue to trot him out there and play I can't you can't do it Michael you can't you can't continue to defend him what happened last week Michael finally couldn't defend him anymore and and now he goes out there plays worse you can't keep doing it Michael and I think finally whatever whether it's Salah whoever it was that felt like we've got to make the change finally put his foot down and said I can't keep doing it I can't keep defending him I can't keep sending him out there I've got another room of players that I have to coach I can't a good conscience continue to send him out there and I think that yesterday we saw for the first time the defense cracked they've had so much pressure to be perfect it finally cracked it finally cracked against an offense that was so bad that the offensive coordinator was fired five days before and they put up all those points on the jets the defense finally gave in they could not handle it anymore and if you want to like have a picture worth a thousand words when Zach Wilson in the third quarter is running out of bounds and runs into Salah and they both go down to the ground that's that's the picture he if Robert Salah's career with the Jets is over Zach Wilson took him down that's what happened on that play first of all picking him with the number two pick folly and then staying with him after you benched him twice and then having him as you the backup quarterback to a 40 year old none of it none of it none of it will ever make sense to me until somebody steps forward and goes this is really the reason why A told us B had to had to be C and that's why it happened because if you're a good football man the guy that lost his job last year to Mike White you decided to have him back up at a Roger to this day it doesn't make sense you gave your season away no it makes no sense yeah you had to do it and so all of the talk about he's getting better no it was all just I gotta say this but now I've had enough because really Michael if he was getting better then what would be the reason why why yesterday and not any other time he wasn't getting I think they were lying to us right that's what I'm saying so but why were they lying because they will cover up the fact that the other two guys aren't good or yeah the now all of a sudden they're good enough that's that's what I'm trying to say it's desperation time now well I come on do you really think anything's gonna happen they were down nine nothing Peter and I honestly it felt like any other team in the NFL was down 32 nothing is there a possibility that it's as blatant as this has all been the owner and literally yesterday at that point like he sent the text message all right enough is enough move on I don't know if it was that deep I can't say the involvement of woody we've had Rex Ryan who worked under woody said he never does stuff like that so we'll take him in his word I just think that if there was some edict from above about playing Zach Wilson and I've said this about analytic managers in baseball too at some point you're gonna lose your job right and if you're gonna lose your job you might as well lose your job with your conviction rather than with these silly little numbers that people are forcing you to do so maybe Robert solid goes I'm losing my job here I'm not losing it continuing to play this guy who can't play can't play we've been we're not football experts everybody let's lift the curtain on this okay we we follow the game we love the game he's not good he's never been good anybody who thought he was good is out of their mind have you watched him play he can't play but at some point your reputation gets sullied when you continue to back up the guy that everybody in the world knows doesn't deserve the chance and maybe it was just time the solid like solid could lose his job all of the doors that have flown open for the jets going into this week make these losses hurt even more because you can't sit that you can't honestly say Michael when this season is over could you really look in the mirror as any member of the Jets organization and say there was no chance to make the playoffs once Aaron Rogers got hurt could you honestly say that when you look at how the doors have flung open when you look at some of the talent this team had well no I know there was a competent backup quarterback on this team that they wouldn't be very much alive for a playoff spot right now absolutely but once he went down now we could say they had no chance because the guy that was backing up right but but why was that the case all right now I don't know if I'll ever know maybe there'll be a book written in 10 years I don't ever know now they obviously they went into the season on no way Aaron Rogers could get hurt he got hurt four downs into the season four plays into the season and you had a bye week like you couldn't bring in anybody they could have saved your season I don't care if Carson Wentz is the biggest you know what in the history of football that nobody could stand being in the room with him you tell me that if Carson Wentz was the quarterback week two of this team of this season that they wouldn't be in contention for a playoff spot if not possibly the division that's how poor your quarterback play has been I know the offensive line stinks I know they drop passes and all the the the full starts and the penalties the self-inflicted wounds but at least a decent quarterback would be worth a couple of more wins and this game on Friday could be two teams battling for the division instead of four and six and pretty much done and also him boil as your quarterback here's a dirty little secret after that loss yesterday the Jets are four and six the Jets the Super Bowl bound Jets right the Giants without their quarterback without most of their offensive line having a third string non-drafted quarterback they have one fewer win one fewer win we'll get to the Giants a little bit later on one thing I want to do I don't know if Don and Peter agree with me on this Robert Sala to me deserves some blame but not the lion's share of it he doesn't put the roster together we all like Joe Douglas we do did a bad job he did a bad job a drafting Zach Wilson that will never be erased off his resume ever he owns that forever and then doubling down and bringing him back is the backup quarterback leaving your team naked absolutely naked if a 39-year-old soon to be 40-year-old quarterback gets hurt and to think that he wouldn't get hurt look at all the quarterbacks that go down 10 rookie quarterbacks have started this season because of injuries or ineffectiveness to veterans to have the arrogance to think that Aaron Rogers might not get hurt and you're going to turn over the keys to a Lamborghini to a guy who can't ride a tricycle that's what you did when you put this team together so I'm not blaming Sala for that his hand was forced to play this guy and the other big thing that's a big big deal their offensive line has been ravaged ravaged by injuries and ineffectiveness they have no continuity whatsoever that's not on Robert Sala and those are the two biggest culprits and one other thing I'll throw this in too Hackett has proven to be very unimaginative as an offensive coordinator I'm sorry he has and the only reason he's here is because of Aaron Rogers you're gonna put all of that on Robert Sala I'm not I'm he didn't have his quarterback now maybe it will be better with Boyle because at least he had Boyle in Green Bay but there's a resume there even without Rogers took Jacksonville to the championship game with Blake Portals because Blake Portals was his guy he doesn't seem to work with quarterbacks that are not his guy or was it the fact that your your quarterback nobody could work with this guy that there was never going to be any chance to be successful guys it's an offensive league how do you not score touchdowns in this league every rule is in favor of you we've seen quarterbacks come in and do the job get off the scrap heap and throw touchdown passes like you said the DeVito is a practice squad player and he threw three touchdown passes in a game I mean now we've seen that all year right Don I mean how many different examples have we seen of guys who can come in and do something better than we've seen Zach Wilson Peter is it outrageous correct me because maybe I'm getting to hyperbolic here is it outrageous to say that Tommy DeVito yesterday played better than Zach Wilson has ever played for an entire game well let me you know it's statistically it's absolutely it's just true well I mean has has he had Zach hasn't had a 250 or three touchdown no interception Tommy DeVito did something yesterday Zach Wilson has never done in his career throw three touchdown passes in a game
