Today we're opening a $50 mystery box versus a $100 legendary collection. What's up guys? We're back with another epic video. Today we are finally opening this legendary collection Kaiba that I've had for a little bit. I was waiting for another legendary collection. I just haven't gotten one yet, so we're going to do it versus a mystery box, which is always fun. And the mystery box we chose is the one that has been pretty clutch for us, the monster box. So hopefully today we can have some crazy pulls, but first we have a giveaway. I'll be giving away these three cards. All you have to do is like this video, be subscribed and let me know what you think will win the monster box or the legendary collection. All right, let's start off with the legendary collection Kaiba. I've not opened one of these since it came out. Yeah, it's been a very long time since I've opened one of these, I should say. So there's ash blossom in here. There's a lot of crazy epic cards. So let's see what we can pull. I don't really remember everything in here. I remember pulling double ash blossom out of like one of these or something. It was crazy in three out of two or something. It was really awesome. Okay. Inside we're going to get a promo pack and five packs. So here's our promo pack. I don't think there's really anything too incredible in this one. So we're not even going to bother opening that. Then we have our, oh, it's only three packs in this. I forgot about that three packs only. It's kind of weird. So these could be very hit or miss because there's only three separate packs. I think there's like multiple secrets in it. I can't remember how this works. It's been honestly, since it came out, I don't remember when that was like 2019 maybe. So let's see what we can pull. We're going to start off with a maiden with eyes of blue. That's a very cool secret rare card. Okay. The neutron blast. All right. That's pretty cool as well. So I think the last two are also secret rare. So we got a dragoonity fey lengths. Okay. Dragoonities are everywhere. Ghost reaper and winter cherries. Cool. Master with eyes of blue. A lot of blue eyes stuff. Of course. Legendary Clash in Kyba. The blue eyes twin burst dragon. Very awesome. I love this card. Dragoonity legionaire. All right. I'm more dragoon. I don't know why they like dragoonity so much. I've noticed this because of auction series. How much they put dragoonity and stuff. I don't really get it, but they do. Protector with eyes of blue. So dragoonity and blue eyes so far. Terraforming. That's actually a secret rare. Okay. You can't really see it when it goes into like space basically, but the rest of it is pretty cool. Let's see. And a polymerization. That's a beautiful one. Check that out. Oh yeah. That's nice. Okay. Next pack. Let's see. Pretty cool. So I can't really remember what the other, maybe like, is droll in here maybe? I can't remember what all the big cards were. Sea Crush Wyvern. That's a pretty cool looking card. The Sea Crush on the set are really nice though. I'll give them that. Made with eyes of blue. We've already gotten that one unfortunately. So that's a double. The heavy mech support platform. Exile of the Wigan. I think this was the first printing since like TP3 or something. Okay. That's a cool one. Tiger dragon. I think Kyba might have actually used that card at some point, which I guess is why it's in here. XYZ Dragon Cannon. The original art looks way better to me. I don't know about you guys. Let me know in the comments. Do you like the original art or this alternate art? Rider of the Stormwinds. I do not remember this card. Okay. That's a tuner and it works with dragon normal monsters. Okay. Makes sense. I've never heard of that one. So it must not be that good. Mirror Force. Just a regular old trust. We're not into the secrets yet. We got two more secrets in this pack and Dragon Master Knight. 5k attack. 5k defense. There's the Blackluster Soldier back there. That's a pretty cool looking one. And can we get Ash? Enemy controller. Left, right, A, B. I definitely went backwards right there, but that's fine. Okay. So honestly, it feels like the monster box might have a chance because we've pulled some cool cards, but nothing like that crazy out of this so far. So are we going to have a chance? We're about to find out. Ash Blossom could change a blue eyes shining dragon. That is a beautiful print. I will give it that. Wow. Even though Retro Pack has the secret rare, that is also a very nice looking one. Ancient rules. Pretty cool card. I don't think it's too valuable. I think it has a little bit though. Castle of Dragon Souls. Pretty creepy looking castle there. That's for sure. Oh, Droll and Lockbird is in here. That's probably pretty expensive. Okay. It's just an ultra rare. That's probably pretty expensive. That's it. The blue eyes white dragon SDK art. Okay. This pack is getting much better. This last one is really saving us. Protector with eyes of blue. Okay. We have like a play set of this now. Z metal tank. Very cool. Very cool. Thunder dragon. Not a bad printing for this one as well because I think this is only ultra printing or even even hollow printing. Beacon of white. Okay. Pretty cool. Pretty cool. Can we get the Ash Blossom? No, it's a spell. Return of the dragon lords. It's another good one. This one's like 10 bucks, I think. Okay. That's a good one. That was a really good pack. All right. I thought Monster Box had a chance. Then we opened that last pack and that made it a lot more difficult. We're going to need to pull something crazy. But as you guys know, the packs in this Mystery Box are actually pretty good. We do have some potential for some big pulls. It's time for the mystery to come through. I don't know if a Mystery Box, I think maybe one time in Mystery Box is one of these. Let's see if we can break the streak. We have a look. Fusion enforcers. Can we pull the legendary Alistar himself or a Mechabar or something like that? Let's go. I don't know if it'll be at the front. Just in case we're going to do it like that. We have a Fluffle Penguin. We love the little penguins. Pretty cool. The Edge M Chain. I remember losing these guys. The toy vendor also lost to that card. Okay. Miracle Eyes Fertile. It was at the front. I was right. Okay. Let's see. What secret rare can we get an invoked card? It's a fusion. Invoked Magellanic. That's pretty cool. This is the one nobody really uses because it doesn't have an effect, but it is very large. So very cool card. We'll take that. I'd say a pretty decent start so far. It could be a lot worse. What is this? There's like a flap in there. All right. We'll just go past that. We have a Breakers of Shadow. We have a Chris Bosch pack. Here we go. What can we pull? There's no Ghost Rares. I think this is right after they got rid of Ghost Rares. So we're looking for it. There's a regular rare. I think we would still get a foil at the end. Okay. Forbidden Apocrypha. Mistaken Accusation. It was an accident. Solo. The Melodious Songs just started, Han. We've got a Siri Newie style synthesis. All right. Purple Power Rain Goat. Rain Goat. What does that mean? Okay. Destruction Sword Flash and Interrupted Kaiju Slumber. That's a pretty cool card actually. Interrupted Kaiju Slumber. I don't know the value of it, but very cool card. Okay. Couple of decent pulls. Next pack. We have a Shining Victories. The Brothers. These came out like I think right after each other or something. Very close together. Can we pull something Blue Eyes? We've already had Legendary Collection Kyva. So let's just add to our Blue Eyes stuff here. Let's do three this time because last time we grabbed the rare. The Kaiju Files. Man, they really wanted us to play some Kaiju's. We got the Dwarf Star Planetary. Digital Bug. Centibit. Digital Bug. Cocoon Denser. Raid Raptor Pain Lanious. We got the Forge of the True Dracos. Cosmo Scaredy Lion. A Morphage. Wait, was that a, that was a hollow? Cosmo Scaredy Lion. This is Wizard of Oz. I think it is because they do like Star Wars Wizard of Oz. Okay, there's a super rare. On to the next pack. We have, uh oh, what is that? What is that? We have Flames of Destruction. I think these are always pretty similar, but they're very good packs though. So I don't really mind the fact that they're consistent. It's not like Fist of the Gadget. It's a little different there. Limit Code. Yajiro Invader. Trickstar Mandrake. Element Saber Molo. Tindangle Trinity. We got the Prompthorn. Three Trolling Trolls. Wait, Speak of the Devil. Those Fists of the Gadgets made their way into it. Alright, World Legacy Sorrow. That's our super rare and Revenged Executor. Alright, alright, alright. We got more coming. We got more coming. Okay, next pack. We have, oh, Legend of Blue Eyes White Dragon. This could turn it around. If we get that, Blue Eyes White Dragon. Let's do this. Or anything else. Like Dark Magician. That would be good as well. So let's go like this. Let's do a little that. Let's go with the Yame. Where's the Missouri Zame? We got the Windy Phantom. Not Windy. Windy's, okay. Wasteland. We got the Masaki Legendary Swordsman. The Maneater. Not the Bug. The Plant. Alright. You know, Tom, we got that. You think the Maneater Bug, like, lives on the Maneater Plant? Who knows? Two Mouth Dark Ruler. We got the Ray and Temperature. And the Dragon Capture Jar. Alright, we failed. But it's not over yet. Still many packs to go. What will we get? We have Cybernetic Horizon. Time to pull that Borel Sword. Let's see. Borel Sword. Make your appearance. Starting right now. Crusadia Reclucia. Borel Regenerator. The Cyber Dragon Veer. Okay. The Contact Gate. Crusadia Power. I didn't know Veer was that new. Dragoonity Legion. Every pack has Dragoonity. Crusadia Equimax. I didn't know that was gonna be there. Okay. The Crusadia Equimax. Ultra Rare. Another decent pull. These monster boxes always seem to have good pull rates. I don't know why. Still a few to go. Let's go with this one. This is Maximum Crisis. We opened 300 packs of this and pulled, what was it? Five Ash Blossoms or four. I can't remember. That was a pretty crazy opening. Let's see if we can back it up right here. Let's go Phantasm Spiral Grip. Lirilis Cobalt Sparrow. I didn't know these were that old. Oh, okay. Break away. Break away. All right. Gift Exchange. We got the Speedroid. The Ghost Beef. The Ghost Beef. Wow. That's an epic card. Zodiac Hammer Kong. Supreme King Gate Infinity and the Ariel. Okay. Ariel. We got the Supreme King Gate Infinity. All right. Super Rare. Two more packs. Let's go with this one. No, this one. This one. Oh, we always end up with this one toward the end. The Duelist Alliance Pack. Ghost Air. Ultimate Rare Potential. So many good cards. So many good common cards in this set. So let's see what we can pull out of this set. Let's get some good ones. White Prince. That's a good card. Okay. Artifact Chakram. Formapal Skeeter Skimmer. Artifact Lance. Yes, you'll look at these comments. They're crazy. Satellar Knight or Stellar Knight Alpha. Swordfish. Hippo Carnival. Shadal Dragon and UA Stadium. Shadal Dragon's a pretty cool card and UA Stadium's always fun. All right. That was not bad, but I think we're going to need something pretty big to win this one. We have double LOB pack. Okay. We've got a second chance at the Legend of Blue Eyes. This is pretty cool. I wasn't expecting a double LOB pack. Okay. So we know that the fourth card would be it. This is what it, okay, we got to get this right. And here we go like that. We have a Wasteland. Armail. Dark Grey. All right. Power of Kaishin. Metabap. The Green Phantom King. Can we get that Blue Eyes by Dragon? Dark Magician. Red Eyes by Dragon. Migsodia. Anything. Gaia. We take that. Larvis. Fissure. And the final card. Will it be a hollow? Machine Conversion Factoring. Wait, there's another pack? There's another pack in here. I was about to throw this away. Wait, there's another pack. Dark Saviors. It's not over. Let me double check in here. Okay. I think we're going to go see this flap is what I'm talking about. Let me show you guys. You guys see this? This thing was very confusing. This one was hiding on the other side. This opening is not done. Dark Saviors said that we're going to bring this thing back. Monster Box, baby. Okay. Will the secret be at the front? I don't know. What can we even pull to save us? Bravo for hire. That's fun. Shadow Vampire Super Rare. I don't know what we can pull to save us. Dompa, another fur hire card. I think there's all fur hires is in the set. It's when they released, isn't it? Yeah, it is. Oh, and a Shark Can. That's not about, and a Plague Spreader. Another good card. That was a pretty good pack. Shark Can, and I know it was worth a few bucks. So definitely help the case for that one. If you guys enjoyed this video, make sure to subscribe to the channel for more epic content.

In today's video, we're opening up over 100 graded PSA cards! What's up guys, we're back with another PSA return video and this is a bulk submission that I submitted only a few months ago. It's gotten a lot faster in the last few months, but before we hop into that, I do have a giveaway. I'll be giving away this full common set of Exodia. All you have to do is like the video, be subscribed, turn on notifications and let me know below your favorite PSA card that I graded today or your favorite PSA card in your collection. I honestly don't remember a ton of these cards. I know this was lower level stuff because it's the bulk level submission, which is like the cheapest stuff, the lowest overall value, but I think there's some cool stuff in here. I didn't do any pre-grades obviously because 100 pre-grades take forever. Let's just start going through and see what we got. We're starting off with a near mintiment, a messenger of peace. That's not a good time. Next card. Let's see if we can get something epic on the second card. We got a little indent there, maybe ultimate rare coming up. Ooh, a spark blaster. That's an ultimate rare unlimited PSA 9. Okay, so we got an unlimited spark blaster. That was only worth a few bucks. I think we did pull that one in a video. That's probably why I graded that. Next one. Let's do this.  This is actually worth pretty decent money in a 10 if we did get it. Let's see. Oh, okay. I think it was like a $300 plus card. You guys, of course, will see everything popping up on the screen while we're doing this, but I think this is around a $300 card. That's a great PSA 10. Probably the best one we could ask for out of these three. Not bad. Not a bad start. This is a lot of like magic cards. Okay, another magic ruler card.  We'll have to see if we got some 10s. We already got two in the world and a nine on the Mahavilo. Not bad. Let me know in the comments. Do you enjoy these big bulk returns because there are some of my favorite ones. I think we submitted a bunch of this guy, Cyber and Dragon, because he came out of this Ston blister. This guy is way off center. He's probably getting an eight. Okay, he got a nine. Okay, I figured if there was anything else wrong with him, he would have gotten an eight, but a nine is not too bad. I think I submitted four or five of those from the Ston blisters. Yeah, here we go. Let's see if we can get a 10 here. Cyber and Dragon, alternate art. Nine. Okay, nothing too crazy here. Come on, give us a 10. I think it's another one. Yes. Okay, Jim Mint, Cyber and Dragon, alternate art. That's pretty cool. This is only a few dollar card raw. A lot of this stuff is not crazy expensive, but I decided to grade it just for fun and because some of these will probably be kind of rare 10s because they're not expensive cards. Oh, a mid-shield guard. I think we pulled this one as well. Ultimate rare, first ed, PSA nine. Okay, next one, a degenerate circuit. Another ultimate rare that I pulled. That's another nine, unfortunately. That's really hard to get 10s on those ultimate rears. Question got an eight. Okay, this probably had bad cutting and sintering and stuff. Yeah, that makes sense. An eight on the question. We have an eight on the dark balter. That thing's way OCE. I don't know why I graded some of these. I guess I was hoping for the nines maybe. We have a flash of the forbidden spell, a nine. I have graded this in a 10 before. I think the artwork on this, it's just really nice with the ultimate rare pattern. It looks pretty cool. Not like anything crazy, you know, but it looks awesome. We have Kaiku. We got an eight while we were getting lots of eights so far. Let's see if we can turn that around. Okay, why did I grade this? We pulled this, I think one of our first cards we pulled out of Grand Creators is a collector rare. It somehow got a nine. Even being brand new, we got a nine. So maybe the sintering or something. Yeah, sintering's not very good. So we got a nine on that. We have another cyber ring dragon. That's cool. Okay, so a 10 on cyber rings. Honestly, the best card was probably the tune rolled so far and we've got a 10 on it. So we can't complain about that. Fairy meteor, another eight. We're getting a bunch of eights today. We have a nine on the infernal flame emper. This is a world championship 2010 card. So a pretty rare, rare card, you know, in terms of rarity, but it's actually pretty hard to find because those 2010 packs are pretty difficult to get. So a nine on a regular rare with no hollow, that kind of sucks, but okay. Oh, and then the JD ultimate rare. I actually pulled this with M. Cole 40 in a pack battle. He actually pulled it against me.  So I decided to grade this. We're actually going to add this to the giveaway. So M. Cole 40 actually gave this to me when we did a pack battle and I decided to grade it and then give it away. So this ultimate rare JD is part of the giveaway. It got a nine, unfortunately. I was hoping for the 10, but still a really nice card part of the giveaway. Make sure to like the video, be subscribed to our notifications. Let me know what you're thinking about these PSA returns. And you can get that card as well. We also have a an eight on a brand new dark magician girl. What in the world? Centering is not great, but wow, eight is pretty rough on that one. All right, they are not holding back on these eight so far. It's been a little rough. Let's see what else we can get. We got another eight, a buster blader from anniversary pack. I was hoping that one would do well. An eight, okay, not great. We've got a seven on the dogma. I pulled this. I pulled this. I got a seven. Wow. Is there some sort of like bend? It's always hard to tell with those like sleeves and stuff.  Wow, that is rough. Okay, rough submission so far. We have a nine on the X out for us. Okay. Nine at this point is like looking like a good grade. We've got a nine on the elements or a flare wing, man. Is there anything going on with this guy? He's just an ultra rare, so we shouldn't have an indent. That looks like finger print right there. That looks pretty clean for a nine. Unfortunately, you don't want to see that. Then we have a aqua neos. There's a 10. I actually just got this like at a collection purchase the other day. So now I have two of these. Yeah. So now I have two aqua neos. We're definitely going to be selling at least one of those. So if you're interested, hit me up. Okay, come on. Give us some good stuff. There we go. An ultimate rare, a 10. Ultimate Tyranto. You don't see 10s from ultimate rears very often. So I am very happy with that. Ultimate Tyranto.  We'll take that. Get a few more 10s. Here we go. This was right out of the 10. This is the 10 that we opened, and it got a seven. Oh, wow. Wait, wait, wait, wait. Am I missing something up there? No, I thought I saw something for a second. Okay, nothing up there. Maybe there's a little bin to it or something. Yeah, I don't remember. I mean, it probably was there, and I just missed it. Unfortunately, another seven. That's not great. We have a, oh, a bubble shovel 10. That's an unlimited. We actually pulled this. That's cool. We pulled an ultimate rare 10. That doesn't happen very often. Man, it's not the back stamping, because look, it's right there. So I don't know what some of these are getting off for. Can't keep up. Let's just keep going. Fusion Destiny out of nine. I don't even know why I graded that, just for fun. We have a Giant Trunade 9.  Okay. Okay. There we go. I think I have three of these now. I don't think I ever sold my other ones. So I still have three of those from the last return. We're racking up on Giant Trunade. That's a great magic card for magic ruler too. So we'll take it. Mask of the Spell 9. Nothing too crazy. Got Z Metal Tank 7. Wow. We are racking up the sevens. Way more sevens than I was hoping for. A six. Okay. I'm pretty sure that these were like, I thought they were minty at least. With these bulk subs, I don't like get them out and like expect them as much as I do with like the lower, the higher end subs where there's like more expensive cards. But I did think they were all minty when I decided to grade them. So, okay. Oh, Chimeritech overdragon. A little justice for never pulling an ultimate rare. I mean, I did pull it on what not one time a long time ago for someone else. But for myself, never pulled it. That's pretty cool to have an ulterior of that. We've got a Reaper of the cards. This is the one from the Every Pack opening. So Every Pack opening, I was hoping this could get a 10 because that would actually be like a decent valued card if it got a 10. Fortunately, 9. So probably not too expensive. Okay. Jam Defender from Retro Pack 2.  We have a an 8. So all of these are getting 8s for us. These are all mixed up. I feel like they're not in order. Number 9, Mirror Force. Number 9. What am I talking about? Mirror Wall. I'm saying Mirror Force, Number 9. I don't know. I'm frazzled. But actually, that was a better box than the first one. All right. Box 3. So far, it's been okay. We've had some good grades, some bad grades. Let's just see what we get. We got a 9 on the copy cat. That would have been a pretty sick 10 as well. We've got a 9 of the gins. Okay. It's not an 8. I can't complain about that. Centering is definitely not perfect on that. So I guess that's why maybe shift it up a little bit. Pretty sick card. A 10 would have been crazy awesome. Then we have a 8. So almost all of these are getting 8. The YAP1 cards, unfortunately, the anniversary pack. Okay. What else? We've got another 8. Wow. They're really getting destroyed. I don't know what to deal with those is. We have a Summon Skull. So the big ones are got 9. So I guess we can be happy about that that they're not 8s. Then we have a UFO Red Fighter. Got an 8. Okay. Unfortunately, he got an 8. I think this one I got like in a trade or something. So I wasn't expecting too crazy, but it is a pretty looking card. Probably one that I'll hang on to just because I like the card. Then we have a VORCE Raider. That's from a 10 that we opened. Unfortunately, not a 10. Cyber Dragon 8. These are from 10s that we opened and they even have the plastic stuff to protect them. You would think they'd be better. A 9 on the Hero Barrier Ultimate Rare. Oh, no 10s on this entire box yet. Justice has been served. The Soldier Lady got a 10. The one that we pulled out of the second box, I sold the duelist. Look at that. With the scuffing and all. I mean, sold the duelist. Here's the thing. If you don't know, if you haven't watched me open sold the duelist before, first of all, let's flash back to this video. Cemetery Bomb and it's the same box. No, this can't be happening. The same exact box from 2019. I think maybe 2018. Oh, come on. The worst Ultimate Raiders in the set. I pulled this in two separate box openings of hobby sold the duelist. So this is not the card you want. You want to get Horace? You want to get something crazy?  I pulled the same two Ultimate Raiders out of both boxes. This and greed, which is hilarious. It's like you're being too greedy, but yeah, it's just like I already right there. But then this grades a 10. Sold the duelist almost every hollow has this scuffing on the back and they never give him 10. I want to give them credit and say it's like, Oh, it's sold the duelist. It's really hard to, you know, they usually look like this. It's packed fresh. I don't think that's what happened. I think they probably missed it. But I look penumbral soldier lady PSA 10. I feel vindicated a little bit from having pulled those twice. So that's actually pretty exciting. Maybe the greed got a 10 as well. We'll have to see if I saw them strike collector rare. Someone actually gave me this. This was a gift from a viewer.  Solemn strike collector rare. That's cool age. Oh, Jim and Tim Blaster. A Jim and Tim Blaster by tribute from Veronica guardian or dark crisis. Sorry. I was thinking this is Veronica guardian because it's like a shizu card. Actually a pretty sick card. An old school ultra rare. I'll take that. I did pull that one as well. I think when we open like the first 11 sets or something. So that's pretty cool. Then we have a Phoenix enforcer. I have this an ultimate in PSA 10 now ultra PSA 10. That's cool. We actually, I think pulled that one as well. We have a nine hyper psyche Blaster. Okay. That's whatever. You know, ultimate rare. Pretty cool. We have a now this would have been so cool. One of my favorite artworks doom Kaiser dragon assault mode. Crimson crisis. We did pull that one. That would have been a cool 10. Okay. Nothing. Nothing too crazy there. There's the greed. Okay. The greed got a nine. That's okay. We got one of the two 10s. That's from sold the deal. It's nearly impossible. So that's cool. We have a couple 10s here. Let's get another one. Can't do fire. That would have been such a cool 10 while getting doom fire. Oh, it looks so clean. Okay. There's a little bit of a line in the back. That's probably why I got a 10 or a nine. I should say. Okay. Here we go. Limiter got an eight. We're back to the eight train and a nine on the spell book of fate. Another one that I pulled. Not really a car that you should probably grade, but I don't know. It's just a cool looking card. This is probably going to be a longer video. We've got four boxes to go. So I hope you're sitting back and relax and you have your popcorn. You know, you're chilling out. You're enjoying the grades.  What else can we get? We have a sidra unlimited. We pulled that. That's why I graded it. Yeah. New careers. You know, it's not very expensive. Splendid Rose, Ultimate Rare also pulled that. Got a nine. We've got a, oh, another one of these. I actually got this in like a collection or something. I got a PSA 10 or somebody, something weird happened where I got a PSA 10 of this and now I have another one. So I actually pulled this one, I believe, number 92. Did I pull that one? I don't know if I pulled that. I'm gonna gotten that in a collection. That's still a cool 10. We've got a bubble blaster for those bubble man fans. That's pretty cool. Centering is definitely a little bit off on that and I got a 10. Yeah.  You know, throwing darts at a board sometimes and some of these are, I'm not, I'm like, wow, this got a 10. Okay. We've got a nine legacy hunter. That is, what is that? Dark revelation two. I think we did pull that one. We've got a Furniture. We definitely pulled that. That was in the every pack opening. Furniture got a nine. Man, the nine piles getting real tall scapegoat nines from dark legends. That was also the every pack opening. I think a lot of these are the every pack opening right now. Oh, dark magician girl, the dragon knight, dragons of legend. This in the original every pack opening, we pulled one of these. It was not this specific one. We pulled this one again later or no, no, no, this was a collection. Yeah. This second one was a collection. Jim meant 10. I almost sold this raw and I was like, this thing's clean. Why am I trying to sell this PSA 10? That's nice. I think that's a few hundred bucks. We have a master's trick. That would be a big 10, a nine. Okay. Elwin, very difficult in the sintering. Let's see what else we can get. That would be such a cool 10 to sold the dual list actually really clean because it's not an ultimate rare.  A little bit off centered, I think. Inferno fire blast. One of my favorite most underrated cards in Yu-Gi-Oh, I think nobody even knows that's a card. You just got to appreciate this artwork real quick. Look, it's red eyes, black dragon, just flaming people. That is amazing. That is awesome. Okay. Next card is another nine from the Phoenix Enforcer. We got a PSA 10 last time, so we can't complain. Oh, this would have been sick. FL1, blue eyes. It's a nine. It's not bad, but it is FL1. Okay. Pretty secret rare. That's cool. I wish we got the 10. That'd have been awesome. We have a, come on. Okay. Those did terrible. Those 10 promos. They absolutely terrible. Jumbo drill got a nine. Of course, it's an ultimate rare. We have a seven right out of the 10. Wow. Those were not worth grading at all. Seven, seven, eight. Maybe I'll sell those as a set or something. We have a 10 from the Spell Shield type eight. Hey, Magician's Force, not easy to grade cards. This is actually pretty decent goat format for like the relinquished deck. So, hey, a 10. We'll take it. We've got a nine side blocker. Pulled that one. Nothing crazy anyway. We got a, why are some of these power of the duals ultimate rare is getting sevens? I don't know what's going on. I mean, they have stamps, but am I missing something? This and the dogma are like the most confusing ones to me so far. Maybe there's a little ding over there. I don't see it, but maybe. Okay. Last card of this one is dogma. Okay. We got a seven dogma and a 10. That's an Euro dogma. Okay. I guess it's worth it. I'd rather have a 10 and a seven than two nines. I'm not going to lie. I don't, I don't know what the difference is, but hey, they were both clean. I'll take one of them getting a 10. All right. We're four, sevens of the way through. Well, I think one of them actually doesn't have a lot of cards. So maybe less than, or more than that, nine from the Black Glacier soldier. I think this was also, it's like an eight dollar card. I grade it from the every pack opening. I think we have a dark magician girl coming up. Is it this one? Oh, this is not the one I was talking about. I got a nine. Oh, that would have been sick. Definitely sinnery issues on that. I think nine is definitely fair with that. An eight on the FL ones are getting killed. They're kind of hard because they come out of those pop star packs. Not a lot of protection there. A nine Mimicat. That would have been cool. That would have been cool. Do we have a tomb kingdom in here? That'd be pretty sick. Okay. Alien mother, ultimate rare, another nine. This is going to be so tall. It's going to be over the face cam soon. Okay. Nine obelisk, the tormentor. I think I'm going to make a little room here. We've got a nine. Unfortunately on the obelisk, that would have been a cool 10. Okay. Another nine. We have a dancing elf. It's just a common. Give it a 10, man. From TP2. That's actually kind of an expensive common card. Oh, a captain gold. If this was first add, this would be insane. It's unlimited captain gold. It's got a little, okay. No, that's actually, that's the reflection. Okay. That always gets me. Those are little things in the case. I remember this. I was like, wow, this is extra clean. I was like, even though it's unlimited, I'm going to grade it. It's another elemental hero that will take that. That's always a good 10. Neo space. That would have been a really good 10. I would have been really happy about that. We have a perfect machine king. Also could have been a cool 10. We have a, oh, it is a Toon Kingdom. I was hoping we'd have one of these. I think I'm going to hang on to this one for the collection. I just really like the original printing of Toon Kingdom from Dragons of Legend II. It's a really beautiful secret rare. That is a sick card to add to the collection. There's a few that I'm definitely hanging on to from this return for sure. Nine. I just thought this guy looked cool. Number 62, Galaxy Eyes Prime Photon Dragon from Pryo Ultimate Rare. I just thought he looked cool, so I decided to grade him. Dancing Elf. Can we not get any 10s from TP2, please? We have an Ancient Fairy. That would have been nice, even unlimited. That's a nine. Okay. What else? Inferny Doom Dragon, another cool looking card, but okay. Actually, honestly, it kind of looks like a grandma dragon, like whether we're in the little, poofy hats, you know, and like shows and stuff. Okay. Bujinki Amaterasu. There we go from Pryo Ultimate Rare. This is the one that has like the ghost rare, the ultimate rare. This one, I think I was going to put in my binder for like the secrets, ultimate and ghost chases that I have. And I looked at it, I think this is way too clean. I have to grade it. So I was right. This is a GMM10. So that was worth it, I guess. Cool. Very cool. And then we have, okay, as a PSA8, unfortunately, what was that from? CT14. This must have been like mint for me to even grade that. That's crazy. I don't know what happened there. I remember this being really clean. Black Wing Dragon Ultimate Rare, PSA9. Ah, that's rough. It's probably because of the back looking like that, but wow, that was a clean card. Okay. That would have been cool. One more card. The raw from the every pack opening. Wing Dragon of Raw, I got a nine. No. Okay. We're going to go with the smaller one for the second to last box and finish with like a full box. This one only has like eight cards, maybe less. Oh, the yellow gadget. That one, I think was a TurboPak 7 pull for us. We have a blue eyes. Oh, it got a nine. Okay. So the best ones from Yap1 did get nines, which is nice. A 10 would have been crazy. This is such a nice artwork. I love this card. It is beautiful. Yeah. That is a, that's a nice nine. It's not bad. Then we got a yummy first edition LLB. You got a nine. Great. We have a, okay, Kwaki Mirror Maximus Ultimate Rare. We definitely pulled that one. So that's the only reason I would grade that. Chaos Emperor. This is the one we pulled. I got an eight. No. These are pretty rough. So getting tens of that's pretty tough. Last card of the second to last box. Cyber Dragon nine. Another one that we pulled out of CRV. Okay. Not bad. Okay. Last box. We've not gotten a ton of 10. So I'm really hoping for some in this last box. A seven. Right out of the pack. A seven. What is that on the back? Okay. It looks like that comes off. So I don't, maybe that, those print line. Wow. That is a pretty severe print line on the back. Seven. So I really hope that we got better grades. So so far we have more like collection 10 stuff like the Dark Magician Girl, Blue Eyes, Red Eyes. So far we've gotten a seven and eight on the two. So hopefully we get some better ones than that. An eight. Great. Oh no. This is insane. What is left? An eight. No. Don't end like this. Okay. Thank goodness. Dark Magician Girl 10. Okay. We got a 10. There we go. Whoa. Okay. That's just my light making that. Okay. That is a beautiful Prismatic Seeker Rare. Dark Magician Girl. Thank goodness. 10 of the Pharaoh Gods. Wow. That was, I was getting a little nervous there.  That's a 10. We'll take that. Come on. Give us more. Another one. PSA 10. Dark Magician Girl. Let's go. Let's go. Come on. The Blue Eyes. The Blue Eyes are rigged. Just like Ghost of the Past 2 where they have those dots. You can't get a 10. Same thing with the 10 ones apparently. A nine on the Dark Magician Girl. Okay. Okay. Not great. 10. Okay. Dark Magician Girl. Nice. Nice. Come on. Drollbird. We got our Drollbird back. Okay. I got a nine. Just like our, our Infernal Flame Emperor or whatever his name is. Ooh. Supreme Mark and I, Magician. Got a nine. This is one we pulled out Star Strike Blast. I think this is one we pulled with Rime, right? When we opened the box. Okay. Got a nine. Pretty at whatever. Not crazy. Hero Flash would have been sick but unfortunately not a 10. Harpy Queen. Got a nine. We pulled this one too. Dang. That's sick. I mean, it's just a nice nine. A nine on the Red Eyes. Come on. Give us a 10 Red Eyes at least. Let's go. Come on. Scapegoat. The Scapegoat. No. We got it back and it's a nine. So we, we opened seven cases for a $15 card. Didn't even get the 10. So that's unfortunate but hey, we did get the Scapegoat eventually. So that's, that's a plus. What else? Oh, the Glow Up Bolt. This is from the Every Pack opening too. PSA nine. Actually not bad. I mean, those Star Strike Blast is pretty weird on the print quality. So not terrible. Nine on the Super Dimensional Robot Galaxy Destroyer. Okay. Okay. Ultimate Rare. We have a, yes. A 10 on the Red Eyes. That's sick. I love that. A 10 from the 10. You'll love to see it. Okay. Two cards to go. Blue Eyes by Dragon 10. Our Red Eyes for Maniversary Pack. Got an eight. Okay. The first good one to get an eight and then our final card of the return. We went through this a little bit quicker than we sometimes do but I knew we had a lot of cards. This seems like it's a, like it's a 10 promo. Please be a Blue Eyes. Nothing better than an eight on the Blue Eyes. You got to be kidding me. That's pretty rough. It did have some severe print lines. So maybe Blue Eyes is just, you know, Konami's rigging that one so you don't get any 10s or whatever. So overall we got 23 10s out of about a hundred and like 10 cards, something like that. So not a great percentage since a lot of these are like pack fresh but a lot were Ultimate Rare's but you're tough to grade. So I feel okay about the submission. Sometimes you feel great about PSA. Sometimes you don't. You just have to accept that if you're going to choose to grade with them like I am. And I enjoy doing these PSA returns and getting some of these cards from my collection. So, so I'm willing to take the risk and I had a lot of fun opening these up. And if you guys enjoyed it, make sure to subscribe to the channel for more epic content like this.

The water-conflict chronology is an open-source online database that tracks water-related conflicts from around the world. It contains over 1,300 entries, dating back to 2,400 BCE, and provides insights into the nature, location, and social and political characteristics of these conflicts. Recent years have seen a sharp increase in water-related violence, particularly in the Middle East, Southern Asia, and the Sahel regions. Additionally, there has been an increasing targeting of civilian water systems during civil and regional armed conflicts. This article was authored by Peter H. Gleek and Morgan Shimabuku.


Good morning, John. As I make this video, there are lots of people killing lots of people in France, in Paris. It is impossible for me to think about anything except for that thing, and it is also impossible for me to have anything except feelings. Like, there is a time for analysis, there's a time for thinking, there's a time for trying to figure out why people are the way they are, where behaviors originate, but this is not that time. It is just emotions, it is just sad, fear, anger. I have a friend who's in Paris right now, he hasn't tweeted anybody, he hasn't done anything on his social media, so it's terrifying. It is just a time for feeling. And I know that we all want to analyze that we need to live in that kind of world where we want to immediately take our world view and say, if only we had been the way we should have been, the way that I wish the world were, this wouldn't have happened. That's going to be flawed forever, but it is especially flawed right now, and I think the thing to feel is whatever it is we should feel. You know, I think if your response is to disengage, that is appropriate. If your response is to stare at live feeds from Twitter and Reddit, that is appropriate. If your response is to just be terrified for your friends, your family, yourself, or just people because we are all people, that is appropriate. There's nothing useful I could say. There's, you know, like, hatred is not the correct response to hatred. I don't know. The world is broken, but hope is not crazy. Yeah, that's good. That was a John Green one. It's hard not to think about the effect this is going to have, like, globally and on Europe, but I just think, like, right now, I want to think about the people who risk their lives to save people and to help people. I want to think about the people who've lost people and I want to think about the people who've been lost. I think that's the thing to think about. That's, yeah. John, I'll see you on Monday.


I'm asking you is sort of a trick question. Not really, but the thing is the topic the text isn't even the main point I want to start off by asking you guys a question. Now. What you think about this? It's not like I said a really a trick question But it's designed to kind of make you think because there's something that we say often and I don't care really which Denomination persuasion that you are a part of I wouldn't care if you are conservative or you maybe you're more Charismatic doesn't really matter whether you Baptist method is doesn't matter You've heard people in your denomination in your group in your circle say this and even people that you respect You've heard them say something like this that the gospel offense the gospel offensive Question to you is that true? Does the Bible say the gospel offense and then you can start thinking well wait a second I seem to recall I seem to call somewhere in the scriptures about the gospel saying or the Bible saying that the gospel Offends so surely it does offend and I've certainly seen people have some Visceral reaction to the scriptures to the Bible to the gospel and so yeah, I'm gonna go with yes The gospel offense now the reason why I'm bringing this up is because it reminds me of when My former mentor the the late dr. Bolden who was a professor at a seminary who would always ask questions Knowing that you probably have the right answer But wants to know if you can prove your answer because it doesn't do any good to know what the answer is You don't know how you got that answer because if all you're doing is just repeating what someone else say Well, then that's no good because what happens when someone tests you or when you don't know What someone that you trust who may or may not be right?  So that's talking about the scriptures understanding what the word says and so it's important to know Not just what you believe but why you believe and so that's questions And he would just even if it's a basic question courted Jesus Christ down the cross Well, sure he did will prove it what scriptures and so you need to be able to go to the scriptures And so this got me to thinking because I've heard really just recently a lot of it coming up And I've heard it obviously in the past and didn't give too much of a thought to it But hearing someone make this statement that if the gospel does not offend you it was not the gospel in Other words There's kind of like this angry form of preaching that some pastor some preachers want a hold to That you need to make a person kind of shake and quake in their boots feel bad about themselves And so the gospel is to be offensive or it is to offend if you're not offended Then it wasn't the true gospel the true gospel will cause someone to be offended the question is as Innocently as it sounds is that the truth and so what I want to do is I go to the passages I just look up offense and offended and let's just see if we can find in the scriptures Where we can come up with that and there's several passages that talk about this work Offense and offended as a matter of fact, let's go. Let's just type in offense And let's put it on the screen. Let's start Matthew. Here's one Matthew 13 57 And that's what it says and they took offense at him But Jesus said to them a prophet is not without honor Except in his own hometown and his own household now. Who's he speaking of? Obviously speaking towards some of these Jews and the word this shoes here comes from the Greek word where we get our English term scandal this word Scandinavia so which is to to offend or I offend what does that mean is kind of a tearing kind of a falling apart What if it stumble we get the word offense, but but the word offense is a little bit too broad And it's almost that we make anything or we can make anything fit in there. Let's look at some more Let's look at let's see. Here's the same worth of shoes I'm sorry. There's different worth of shoes here for offense. So we'll type in the words We don't always see what the word is Here it is 933 we're gonna look at this passage later It says behold I lay a stone in Zion a stone of stumbling and a rock of offense. There's that same worth of shoes there The same worth of shoes here in 1st Corinthians not 10. Let's see Oh here is nothing 1st Peter 2 8 Same thing a stone a stumbling of stumbling and a rock of offense Same worth of shoes there as well in the Greek and so maybe you might be seeing something. So the question is Does the Bible offend? I mean, I'm sorry does a gospel fan Does the gospel have to offend if you're not offended has the gospel been preached? And so what I want to do is I want to look at some passages. I want to first I want you to first notice What it's referring to who he's referring to about someone being offended the Bible as a matter of fact Let's go to 1st Corinthians Let's see First Corinthians one. Let's start there. Let's go to 1st Corinthians one Let me fix my screen really brief because I haven't done that as of yet for that particular passage And I want you to notice something that's being stated here in by Paul in 1st Corinthians Let's start in verse 21 For since the wisdom of the world through its wisdom did not come to know God God was well pleased through the foolishness of the message preached to save those who believe For indeed look what it says Jews ask for a sign and Greeks search for wisdom, but we preach Christ Crucified notice what he says to Jews this preaching of Christ crucified to the Jews It's a stumbling stone and to Gentiles Foolishness now this word for stumbling stone. It's an infant. It's an offense the same Greek words over here It's the same reward that we've been looking at it's kind of it's kind of like so or in this case Scandal on scandal on which is Scandalized in the English verse and didn't mean the quite the same thing, but it's the same Greek word. And so to the Jews It's an offense. It's a stumbling stone But or and to the Gentiles foolishness, but to those who are called both Jew and Greek Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God because the foolishness of God is wiser than the men and the Weakness of God is stronger than so his point is And what what Jesus was saying even what Paul was saying and what Peter says? the point is that The gospel is not meant to offend. That's not the point of it But what it does is it absolutely does offend certain people Namely the Jews to the Gentiles to the Greeks who aren't saved by the way both who are not saved There's a saved group in the Jews and the Gentiles who this doesn't apply to who are not offended or it's not foolishness But to the Gentiles is foolish doesn't make sense to the to the to the Jews to the Jews It's bothersome.  He is God. He is the Savior that he died for our sins They will you will then see kind of even more so this point that they are offended typically though when you speak to Gentiles Not always but but Gentiles it's bothersome to them But not in the sense that Jesus was speaking out not in the sense that Paul or Peter was speaking up It's bothersome, but really more confusing because they don't think it makes any sense This doesn't make sense is which is why you get a lot of philosophical arguments from People who will say well Jesus can't be God and so forth a little back-and-forth between Different arguments over the Trinity or that this is a fairy tale One man did all these different things. We don't have proof that he walked on water and this and that They'll give you these sort of philosophical What they think are intelligent or logical arguments. That's really the basis what he's saying to the Jews It's just it's it's a stumbling stone. It's an offensive thing to the Gentiles of the Greeks That make any sense. It's foolishness notice what he says though Let's go to Romans 9 where he says Let's start in verse 23 and we'll work our way to 33 now in all of this, but notice what's happening in in Romans Paul is talking about Jews not placing their faith in Christ The problem is that they started off, but now by and large. This is a Gentile faith With Jews who are who are at the forefront and most of the apostles are Jews But Paul's concerns that Jews aren't coming. That's what he says verse 23 He says he did he did so to make known the riches of his glory upon vessels of mercy Which he prepared beforehand for glory even us whom he also called not from Jews only But also from among Gentiles as he says Also in Jose, I will call those who are not my people my people and her Who's not beloved beloved and it shall be that that in the place where it was said to them You are not my people they shall be called my people So he's speaking about how these Gentiles are now going to be brought in and to the Jews It is going to be a problem. So if we drop down if we go to verse Let's start in verse. Let's start in verse 30 He said what they shall we say that the Gentiles who did not pursue righteousness They obtained they obtained righteousness even the righteousness which is by faith But Israel pursuing the law of righteousness did not arrived at that law Why? Because they did not pursue it by faith, but as though it were by works They had a obligated they were obligated to this was theirs by right by birth And all they had to do is just work at it do the right things and they'll be okay Well, no, no bueno And so he says look what he says they they who the Jews Israel stumbled over the stumbling stone Just as it is written behold I lay in Zion a stone of stumbling and a rock of offense. There's that word again And he who believes in him will not be disappointed. So for the Jews, that's the point for the Jews It is a stumbling stone. It is a rock of offense First Peter 2 let's start in verse 6 the same thing behold I lay in Zion a choice stone a precious cornerstone and he who believes in him will not be disappointed So the point is being spread around the same point that Jesus makes it Paul makes also Peter makes this precious value Then is for you who believe But for those who disbelieve the stone which the builders rejected The this became the very cornerstone and a stone of stumbling and a rock of events So now even also to he's speaking of Jews But really anyone but his point is still to the Jews. So now let's find another passage the same thing It's little Matthew 24 Let's start in verse 10 at that time. He says many will fall and those who speak now. This is speaking of This is really in time imagery in Matthew 24 is out of a discourse notice. He said at that time Many will fall away will betray one another and hate one another now the fall away part This is what that word is here the same word now the the English rendering is going to be fall away but that's what the that's what the whole point of Of being offended is and this is what the word means in the Greek that you even know it might be true It can make sense But there's something with your heart. It's just an anger. It's a it's a reaction that just bothers you Whereas with the gentiles the Greeks it doesn't make sense. So we have two different reasons for them not accepting Christ One we do know it makes sense. It kind of makes sense. We've got the passages We've got the scriptures Old Testament. We have the prophecies, but we're bothered it angers us But this is also what God caused or said what happened He said he'll cause them to have this partial hardening and a spirit of stupor and that's what this leads to and so Question is when you hear the gospel like Jesus asked will this cause you to stumble? He says therefore many of his disciples when they heard this they said when he said this difficult thing Who can listen to and he's talking about eating his flesh and drinking his blood We know what that means now in terms of communion, but so we don't want to walk too far off track Jesus Conscious that his disciples grumbled at this said to them does this cause you to stumble It's gonna cause you to fall away It's gonna bother you that much or is it's gonna now for some it did but for many it did not But his point was what then if you see the Son of Man ascending to where he was before it is a spirit Who gives life the flesh profits nothing the words that I have spoken to you are spirit and life But there are some of you who do not and who do not believe for Jesus knew from the beginning What he says who they were who did not believe so he knew from the very beginning Who would not believe and who it would who would be that will betray him? Not just Judas, but the other Jews that will also be involved And so he says and who it was that would betray him and he was saying for this reason I've come I have said to you that no one can come to me unless it has been granted to the father So whoever it is with this foolishness or where this is thumbing stone or rock of offense You're not coming unless the father grants have to happen But but again keep in mind who he's speaking of and he does not want you to be offended about again The point of the gospel is not to offend And so when someone makes a point or statement that the gospel should offend know it shouldn't that's the goal The whole hope is it wouldn't offend because if you're offended you're not coming if you are offended you are not coming if you're not offended Then yes, what you do you come why Jesus said go and report? I'm sorry. I'm wrong pastors. He says blessed is he who does not take offense at me What does that mean if you are someone who doesn't take offense at what he's saying Then what will you be you will place your faith in Christ? That's the goal not to be offended not to Reject him to move away from not to have a reaction or anything also in John 16 1 He says these things I have spoken to you now This is after he's spoken about his his departure and even Excuse me even the Holy Spirit coming. He said these things I've spoken to you so that you may be kept from Stumbling notice what's right here right before we as he tells us why he's writing these things We have what's called a henna calls henna is the Greek word for in order that so in order that not you will stumble Not that you will be offended. That's the word that's there. So I've given you these things I've spoken to these things to you so that you will not be offended So God does not want you to be offended when the guys was preached The goal is not to offend anyone and so therefore you should not try to offend someone. I know that that's kind of Fashionable nowadays that we need to kind of preach a certain way, you know Preach how the audience probably would receive it best your whole goal is to receive people to Christ Your whole goal is to lead them. It's not to make someone angry I know that there are people that go on these corners and they preach for the sake of saying yes I preached and then a lot of folks were angry as though that was a badge of honor No, the goal is to get them to place their faith in Christ. That's a goal Obviously, that's not your goal or that's not your job. You don't you can't control that. That's not up to you That's up to God, but Just like it's not not your job not up to you for them to place their faith in Christ It's also not up to you to offend them The gospel by nature is going to offend certain people but and so you don't have to go and do that You just preach but you preach out of love in hope In expectation of someone placing their faith just a desire to see someone not go to hell now I said though the text or all of these texts is not the point It's not the point even though we've been told and I again We've been told incorrectly by a lot of preacher listen a lot of well-meaning preachers who'll say that you Need to be offended by the gospel or the gospel needs to offend or the gospel offends of the gospel No, it doesn't always some people who does offend But us who are safe. No, we weren't offended at some point now someone said well, I had a reaction to it Fine. I won't argue with you But there are so many people who place their faith in Christ and they weren't angry at the gospel They want matter of fact many of them just they just knew What they needed why because the Bible tells us teaches us that What is going to cause us to place our faith in him? Well, that our heart must be Regenerated once that happens. Are you going to have an offensive reaction to the gospel? No, are you going to be repentant and bothered by your by your lifestyle? Sure. Now if you want to say the gospel convicts That's quite different than saying the gospel offense and someone's going to say well, Cory Aren't you kind of splitting hairs? We're speaking semantics. No, I'm not and that brings me to my point We speak often about how someone who might be let's say hyper charismatic or even charismatic period Some of these folks will take a passage and kind of change the wording around or the meaning around to make it suit Or fit what they believe and we want to call that out But what about when someone who is not charismatic desert? What if it's someone who is reformed or someone who's this practice or someone who is the method someone such Christ? What if someone who is not like the folks that we think are off but someone that we We generate genuinely like we genuinely like these people we love their teachings and they misuse a word well What do you think is at the root of every hair of heresy? What is at the root of every false teaching? What does every how does all of these things start? Well, it starts with taking a word maybe just one word and misusing it applying it incorrectly And that's the danger. That's the whole point Not so much of whether you what do you think about the word offense or being offended? That is really not the point guys, and this is why I brought this up I want to go through that so that you can see that the word doesn't mean what it means Then to think about how many other times do we take a word that doesn't quite mean what it what it really means? Because words have meaning and then we take it to a different meaning we take it to a different context And so now we've got again. We've got preachers who think that you must offend someone who preach that way and Wait a second. They might be doing more harm. The goal is not to offend someone to make some one's feelings hurt That's not the goal the goal is to give what the word says you don't have to add to it You have to make anything it you have to make it say what I didn't say just because you really really really wanted your point across No, same thing with anything else when we talk about certain spiritual gifts when we talk about Living our lives with our with our spouses with our families. We talk about money any aspect that's covered in the Bible If we're talking about prosperity, should we be prosperous? Sure. How so? That's a question and is it required what if you're not prosperous financially But your process in other ways is that is that a bad thing? But someone can take a word Just like the enemy has done you can take a word and you can do so unbeknownst yourself You can do so not really intentionally but unintentionally kind of you know Just just an honest mistake and an honest mistake built off of another honest Mistake built on top of another honest mistake built on top of another honest mistake What we have will have a full blown heresy That's why people that's why people who follow certain people who we know to be preaching heresy That's why they do so because they can see I can see what he's saying I understand it that makes sense to me and oh by the way They've said other things that make sense or were true Because a wolf a heretic the devil will say some things that are true But I promise you how he got to where he got to or nowadays how she got to where she got to is because That lie was built off of a misunderstanding and then built off of something else and off something else It was a nibble here a nibble there a nibble there a nibble here nibble here And so those who who became involved with some sort of heresy Unintentionally how did they get there they looked up one day and after all all this nibbly here a little nibble here a little nibble there Nibble nibble nibble nibble they look up and they have lost their way. They are so far away from the faith That's why Paul says at his deathbed. I have kept the Faith not kept I have kept my faith or kept having faith No, I have kept the faith Paul in 2nd Timothy 4 is talking about having sound doctrine and sound teaching And what happens is the way that you keep sound teaching is you make sure that you stand by every Jot until every word Make sure that all the words that mean something we know it that we say what it says We don't say what it doesn't say we don't add to it intentionally now Can we give some sort of understanding or clarification to some of the things that are said and use our own words sure But make sure you don't depart from the wording and make it say something that it doesn't even something so innocent Something seemingly not innocuous as Saying that the gospel offends or must offend because it went from saying that the gospel is Offensive or can be offensive to then it must offend if it doesn't offend And now we've got preachers who are looked at if they don't speak a certain way. They're too nice Well, they they they preach a sugar-coated gospel and that's not right for us to do so now They might do so but it might not be because they're not trying to offend someone They might preach a sugar-coated gospel because they're just more prosperity Sort of preachers. They are they are gospel light Such as, you know, someone down here in Texas down in Houston area So we can see that happening But let's be careful that we don't do what others do how do these heretics get to where they got to? Because they took words and they changed the meaning whether intentionally or unintentionally I've spoken before There are a lot of people that I know who Their understanding their teaching of the scriptures is wrong But they don't mean that they didn't intend for to be there But they just heard something and ran with it what they heard was a misunderstanding So let's always go back to the text. I don't care what your denominational belief is What your doctrinal bent is what your theological persuasion is If you're gonna and this is something just basic This really isn't a big thing But you can see how it can become a big thing And so we want to make sure let me give you examples a matter of fact because I think that's probably helpful Now we've got people who believe That Women can be pastors. Well, the scriptures are clear But for some people no not quite and so they'll take a portion or they'll take something and make it say or become more than what it is Many people who believe that it's okay for women to be in leadership or to be pastors They don't believe that because they're just intentionally against the scriptures. No Because they see an example now. It might have been some intentional wolf behind us I don't know but they see it an example of a woman who was maybe a prophetess in the Bible or a Deborah who was a judge and a prophetess in the Bible and they see that well if it could happen Then if God will use them then and I the Lord do not change. Well, then why would he stop doing so now? And so it becomes easier for you to okay I can see that now because for person Imagine the person hearing that who doesn't know the Bible and someone is telling them that they might be young in the scripture They might be older in the faith or older as a Christian, but just a lazy Christian and have not read I'm not going to even answer or dress with that person a lazy Christian is a Christian But the fact that there are Christians who just don't read the Bible like they should and so what happens they are open to these sort of shenanigans that might be Voiced upon them intentionally or to their own coming to just not reading the scriptures And so we want to be if we're going to be smart Christians if we're going to be diligent if we're going to be If we're gonna hold have a fidelity to the text, let's have a fidelity to the text Let's be married to the text like we should and if we find out that oh, you know what? I've been saying something incorrectly all this time. Well, I'll stop that rather than Being offended by finding out that the word offense doesn't mean what you think it means rather than being offended because you found out that The gospel is not supposed to offend the gospel does not offend believers. It offends the Jews Is foolishness to the Greeks and then now if you want to say well, this is what it really means That's fine. But let's just use the words properly so that we don't also Improperly use other words or passages that other people that we impugn for doing the same thing Who are wolves and heretics that way we won't be here. We won't be hypocrites ourselves. Amen
