Good afternoon, good morning, everyone. I hope you all are doing. I'm going to take Chess Champ's advice on this one, and I'm going to try to answer as many questions as I can, but I wanna do so as timely as I can, and so I'll try not to be too long on any one particular question. I'm gonna take the first one, do this. The first five questions that were submitted previously on the live stream before we got started, and then I'll go in and deal with you all's questions. On the chat in just a little bit. So let's go ahead and do it. Oh, I'm sorry. Before I get started though, let me just give you a quick FYI. A heads up, tomorrow is the time for our Bible studies every Saturday at 11 a.m. However, tomorrow will not be with you tomorrow because there was a death in the family on my wife's side and so we will be at a service on tomorrow so I will not be able to join you guys. There will be a video posted tomorrow. Not sure which one will I post. I'm not even sure if it'd be live. I might decide, you know what? I might come back and say, yeah, let's go live. Feel like, I feel like talking to you guys, but more than likely it won't be live, but that being the case, I wanna give you all a heads up as well and I've got some, what is it? I've got some news to share with you guys, some pretty important news, some, yep, I'll leave it at that. I'll leave it at that and just go with some pretty important news that I have to share with you guys. Probably on Wednesday of next week, you'll see. Matter of fact, you'll know, you'll hear about it even before this Wednesday comes up, so be on the lookout for that. So that being the case, let's go ahead and jump into it. Spider Monkey was the first to put a question in. Says, how do you think people are going to present themselves at, oh, okay. I shoulda looked at your question first. How do you think people are going to present themselves at Judgment Day? Will God call them up in order, according to the days they were born, one by one, or all together? He will do so, I've, listen, I've got, I've got it on, from a good source. He is going to do it according to hair length.  So some of you guys are gonna be way at the back. Some of you guys are gonna be at the middle and then some of us, whom he really loves, he'll have at the front. Sorry, it's just, it's just what it is. You know, sometimes, sometimes God wants to bless us for how we behaved on earth, and so that's what he's gonna do. Sorry. No, actually Spider Monkey, there's no way to know. I have no idea. See, she says you didn't earn that. I have no idea. I have no idea. There's a lot of interesting things that we're gonna have to try to figure out or we're gonna find out. We ask these questions. One, what are we gonna look like? We'll have these glorified bodies. Will it be the glorified body when I was at my best? Maybe when I was 18, 19, 20, 21, 22 years old? How is it gonna be? There's just no way to know. Well, someone asked the question, will we all be the same size? Will we all have the same color? What is it gonna be like? There's just no way. All we know is that for us sheep, or as we say here, us sheep assist, it's gonna be a good day. It's gonna be a good day.  That's all I could say. There's nothing that we can say that's gonna describe what it's gonna be like, good or bad. So I don't know. I don't know. Cherry Cherry says, should women wear head covering for praying and prophesying today? No, no. In this time it was that you had to have some sort of symbol of authority over you. You going out making sure people knew that you were not usurping authority over a man and that what you were doing, you were doing it under the protection of a man, either your father or your husband. Now, what that mean ladies is, if you were, let's say 25 and you weren't married, well, who was your covering, your father? If you were married, well, then your covering was your husband. So, but that was just then. So now praying and giving a revelation from God assuming it's legitimate. If it's not a legitimate revelation, if it's just someone out there just saying anything, well, then it really doesn't matter who your covering is, if you're gonna give a false prophecy or anything like that. So all you need to do is just make sure that you are submitted under someone as you're doing so and then you're fine. The head covering, no. An actual physical head covering. Now, in terms of a covering that there's a male over you, well, then that goes without saying, right? Saved by grace says question, can someone actually be saved? This is a good question. Can someone actually be saved, be able to articulate salvation in Jesus and not believe the whole Bible is true? My SIL, I don't know what that is, but whoever SIL is thinks evolution is irrefutable, but the flood creation account are not. What do you guys think? Do you all think that it's possible to believe in Christ yet and not believe? Oh, sister-in-law, okay. Thank you, Catherine. Do you all think that it's possible to believe in or have salvation without believing all of the Bible or all of certain portions of the Bible? There are some claims that are made that just, wow, that's just kind of amazing. The answer is yes. It's not, again, we're not saved by what we know, we're saved by who we know. Now, as we grow in Christ, as we grow in the Word, at some point in time, logical kick in. At some point in time, logical kick in. What is logic? That is, because I believe that the Bible, salvation, Jesus, God, creation, I believe it's all logical. Here's what I mean. I believe it's so logical if you can believe that there is a God who can take on flesh and die on the cross and rise again. And as you start reading the scriptures, we've got all things, with man is impossible, we've got all things are possible. At some point in time, logic will naturally dictate, well, if he can do that, then he can do that. And if he can create all of this and he sustains all of this, well, then logic would naturally dictate that he can control all of that that he created. Are you with me? And so at some point in time, logic does kick in.  Well, if you have believed in Christ and you believe that the core tenants of, or that's required for salvation, you place your faith in that, well, then at some point in time, then that sort of logic will lead to a better understanding. And so, like a lot of people, no one is saved knowing all they need to know about the Bible.  No, no, so prayerfully that that person will come around and begin to see, your sister-in-law will come around and begin to see, well, yeah, this makes sense. He is God.  You could have like that, and he could have, but there's a reason why he does so. So, it is possible. It is possible. Could you explain, LA91 says, could you explain what the meaning of the parable of the talents, who are the servants, and what is the talents that is given? Matthew 25, 14. So let's go to Matthew 25, 14. Matthew 25. Yeah, let's put on the screen. 48. You know what? Yeah, let's stick with this one. By the way, I'm going to cover, I'm going to end up covering this parable of the 10 virgins, or the story of the 10 virgins. We were discussing before this issue, well, I didn't do it here. I'm sorry to say we were discussing. I didn't do it here. I will do it, I might do it this weekend. I might do it this weekend, or I might save it till Monday or Tuesday, this issue about the end times. I'm still convinced that an inconsistent hermeneutic will lead you away from a pre-tribulation rapture. And I've heard different comments since I've gone on someone on with Daryl and Montana Viking. They wanted to ask me about what I believe. We didn't get to a lot because of the time constraints, but I want to, what I'm showing, makes some of these parables even more vivid. When you hear some of these parables, by the way, guys, you're going to realize that the Jews should even have more shame, those who didn't come to Christ. Because he makes some statements, he says some things that it matters to them more so to us. And then sometimes we take what was said and we don't quite get it. This parable of the 10 virgins, the reason for this seven year tribulation and for the number seven, the matter of fact, there's another passage we cover.  There are many mansions or many rooms, many dwellings. That also has to do with, there's an end times emphasis on that. There's a point to that as well. Now, we also see what it means in terms of salvation because, hey, I'm going to prepare a place for you. And if so, if there were not so, I would tell you, and if I'm going, then I'm coming back for you. Which should also let you know, Jesus didn't waste the trip. That being the case, after that parable, after that story of the 10 virgins, then we come upon this parable. He says, Ford is just like speaking of heaven. Ford is just like a man about to go on a journey who called his own slaves and entrusted his possessions to them. To one, he gave five talents to another, to and to another one, each according to his own ability. And he went on his journey, immediately the one who had received the five talents, went and traded them with them and gained five more. In the same manner, the one who received the two talents gained two. But he who received the one talent went away and dug a hole in the ground and hid his master's money. Now, you know the story. He comes back and finds the one with the five, what he's done with them. He says to him, first 20, he says, see, I have gained five more talents. His master said to him, well done, good and faithful slave or servant. You were faithful with a few things. I will put you in charge of many things enter into the joy of your master. And then the same with the other talent did the same thing, but the one with the one, look what he did, verse 24. And the one with the one also had received the one talent came up and said, master, I know you to be a hard man, reaping where you did not sow and gathering where you scattered no seed. And I was afraid and I went away and hid your talent in the ground. See, you have what is yours.  You knew that I reap where I did not sow and I gather where I scattered seed. I'm sorry, and I gathered where I scattered no seed. Then you ought to have put my money in the bank and on my arrival, I would have received my money back with interest. Therefore, take away the talent from him and give it to the one who has the 10 talents. For to everyone who has more shall be given and he who will have an abundance, but from the one who does not have, even what he does not have shall be taken away. Throw out the worthless slave into the outer darkness in the place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. And so back to the question that LA 91 asked, could you explain the meaning of the parable of talents? Who are the servants and what is the talents that is given? Now in this case, it's money. The talents is a currency, but there's a bigger point that he's making. Now who has he given these parables to? To Israel. There's a reason why these parables are given to Israel. There's implication that goes back to Israel for them specifically. They were the ones that were entrusted with the Oracles of God, as Paul says. And in many cases, did nothing. Now some did, some did not. Notice what he does though, takes away from them and from that one with the one and gives it to the one who had the most. In the same way he'll do with the king of heaven, he'll do to those Jews what they should have been in turn inherited and give it to those either other Jews or those Gentiles are with me. And so that's the point you are squandering what you're supposed to have now. There's also other applications you can have. Obviously there's a financial application that you can have. And matter of fact, I used to tell this story and would say that there are those who have a lot and the reason why they have a lot, they should have a lot because in many cases, not always some folks inherited theirs, but in many cases they were good stewards of their money. And so to those who are frivolous and wasteful, that little bit of money they have, they just can't help and just can't wait to go spend it. Whose hands are going into? Not the guy who's working hard and saving his money. He would probably be the second guy with talent but to the guy who has the most, the business owners, those guys who are out there offering goods and services for people. So you could take it that way, but it's actually directed towards the folk point is focused at Israel and they and their misuse of what God has given them. You took that word and you did nothing with it. And so now you'll enter into outer darkness and there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth where you go. Clarice asked, what happens if you don't believe the Bible in its entirety? Which is like the first question or the other question that, what is that question? Oh, I'm sorry, Saved By Grace is one that's a question. So it's the same question that Saved By Grace asked. As long as you listen to, as long as you adhere to the most important thing that is that Jesus Christ is your Lord and you place your faith in what he's done, that's what's required. You're not, it's not required that you believe in certain beliefs and eschatology. It's not required that you believe in tongues or don't believe in tongues. It's not, it's not required that you be a cessationist or continuations. It's not required to be a Baptist in methods. It's not required that you believe in, if you are paid a Baptist or create a Baptist is those are not required. What's required is the first thing. That way, that way even little children can come. He's made it so simple that even little children can place their faith in him and come to Christ. And so that's the most important thing. Tuana Cox, last one from there and then I'll take you all as question. Tuana Cox said, can you help me with two matters? Okay. My son asked me if there's a such thing as a Jezebel spirit. I told him no. Then he asked me what makes a spirit a spirit. I don't know how to answer. That's kind of a tough one. Let's go to, how do you spell Jezebel? Okay, there it is. My software helped me out because normally it makes me spell a large portion of it in order to figure this thing out. Now let's go to the New Testament, Revelation 2 as a matter of fact, 2 and let's start in 20. Let's start in verse 19. He says, I know your deeds and your love and your faith in your service, perseverance and that your deeds of late are greater than the first. But I have this against you that you tolerate the woman, Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess and she teaches and leads my bond services straight so that they commit acts of immorality and eat things, sacrifice and idols. I gave her time repent and she does not want repent of her immorality.  Now, is this an actual woman or is this something? And by the way, what does Jezebel mean? Now this Jezebel here is not the same as the Jezebel that we see in, and it was the second Kings. It's not that same Jezebel or maybe that we don't think it is. But is it that this person has an infectious spirit or what this person is doing is likened to this person? This person, what they're doing has a genesis in a person and an actual woman named Jezebel. It's not totally clear but what he's explaining is these particular deeds that folks are engaging in and you aren't stopping it. You don't have an issue with it. You're not, he says those who commit adultery with her they'll be thrown into great tribulation now. And the adultery, is it sexual? Look what he says. She teaches and leads my bond servants to go astray so that they commit acts of immorality. Well, the acts of immorality is the same word for Nea. So it seems to be sexual in nature, so yeah. And eat things sacrificed to idols which could also mean it can be something literal or it can be idiomatic mean that they are taking in things that are just idolatry maybe engaging in some sort of witchcraft and so forth. Obviously Jezebel, she doesn't care. She's doing her thing. And she's got other folks doing that. And she does not want to repent of her immorality. Nope, I'm fine. God's okay with this. Could that be homosexuality? Could that be the progressive LGBTQ people in the churches? It may very well be.  Not necessarily with her, but along with her is how you could take this. Yeah. It's how you can take this with her or after her of her deeds.  So to answer your question, this Jezebel spirit, it just seems to be not that there's an actual spirit or demon named Jezebel that's infection people, but a sin that kind of has this label. Remember, he's speaking to people that kind of understands things this way. And so even today, we make everything out to be a spirit, a lying spirit, this spirit or that spirit. Well, that helps us to understand. Does that mean that there is an actual demon or an actual spirit that's named lying, that's named jealousy, that's named hope? No, no, but just the will, the desire to do so, which by the way is brought upon or exacerbated by some sort of demonic activity. Now the question was though, what makes a spirit a spirit? Don't know.  It's not necessary. There's a spiritual implication, there's something spiritual behind it. And so what makes a spirit, if it's demonic is that it's just a fallen angel, it's a demon. Are you with me? Behind sin, there's two things that's always behind sin. There's two things that are always behind sin.  You don't need a demon for that. You don't need a demon to sin. You're perfectly capable and well suited to sin with or without the devil or any demon. But then also is a demon. So the two things is you and your flesh and then secondly, a demon, something demonic to whisper, to speak, to bring folks to entice you.  That guy comes around and or she comes around and next thing you know, you're apologizing. Well, maybe that person is, has some sort of demonic influence.  So, excuse me, that's kind of how that works. So there's always something demonic behind it, except for your own flesh. So I would say what makes a, what makes a demon or what makes a spirit, a spirit if we're speaking about a demon, well then they've always been that way. So now what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna go ahead and start clicking on some of these questions. I have not seen any of your questions so far, so I'm gonna start clicking on some of these questions and working my way through the meaning of God's sake. Corey, should Christians support Republicans? Christians should not support Republicans, nor should they support Democrats. What Christians should do if they're gonna vote, vote what lines up with Godliness as best they possibly can. There are some things that are just hard and fast. Some things that there are, there is no way around. For example, let me just be clear. God has spoken and has not stuttered on homosexuality. God has spoken on murder. God has not spoken on tax policies. God has not spoken on immigration policy. God has not spoken on foreign policy, no he has not. And so that's where those things become secondary to whatever God has stated. Those take preeminence, whatever he has not stated, whether even if they're wise, they take second, they take second fiddle. Are you with me? So that's how you have to look at everything. Okay, and if the Democrats are voting that way, or they're leading that way, well then amen, go with him. If the Republicans are going away, then go with him. All right, so let me go ahead and start marking off some questions. Now, do I believe the crisis coming back within our lifetime? I have no idea. I have no idea. So what I can do is live like he is, and work like he is. Do I have a truth be told though? Truth be told. I'm like everybody else. I'd like to see what things are gonna be like in 20 years, 30 years, 40, 50 years from now. I'd like to see my kids get older, so to speak. Now, does that mean that he came back? If I got the word that he's on his way back tomorrow, amen. Amen. If he's coming back in 1,000 years, amen. If he's coming back in 200 years, amen, I'm good. I'm good. Okay, you're right, there's a lot of spirits that are actually named. So I think that's what I said. I'm going back up the other way. I'm starting from the bottom and working my way up. And then in a second, I'm gonna spin all the way up to the top and then catch those that ask. Matter of fact, let's do that now. Go all to the top and go over questions that were asked at the very beginning that I can see. Wait a second, I saw someone who's asked. Oh, this is the part where everyone's greeting each other in the very beginning. Okay, let me just do this. And then they only drop to the bottom. If I didn't mark your question, I'll try to get to it. I'll try to get to it. This is interesting questions. What is the difference between a God-given gift and being anointed?  The word anointing literally means smear. And so the difference, there might not be any difference. There might not be any difference because if God gives you the gift, then it's for a particular reason. It's you are anointed to do such and such. So I don't know that there's necessarily a difference. Maybe, and I guess if I understood what you meant necessarily by a God-given gift, are you talking about someone's physical ability to, let's say, go play? I don't know, like Jordan. Sooner or later, he had a God-given gift. This guy who can sing, or this person who can play the piano, or what have you, is that a God-given gift? Sometimes it's just someone just learned it. Now, it could be that God is anointed that person in such a way as well. The Bible isn't totally clear. There are times where the Bible talks about in the Old Testament where he has these people that he gave them this skill and anointed them to do art, to build things, to craft things, or to sing. To me, that's the same thing God-given and anointed. So, okay, let's start answering some of these questions. How to pursue holiness but not become self-righteous? As long as you remember, because holiness doesn't mean that you are just, I'm so great, I'm so wonderful, I'm so whole, you don't know, obviously not that, that's, or you are so offended by seeing that you were offended also by the sinners, well then now you become self-righteous, because I wouldn't do that, like the Pharisees, I thank God that I'm not like the sinner. As long as you remember what you are, as long as you remember that what you are, Devin, is $5 worth of dirt. You're $5 worth of dirt, and the only reason why you're worth $5, why you didn't work that much, is because God made the dirt. You have what you have because God breathed into you. And if you can remember that, and that you are just so honored, it's a privilege to be saved. If you look at it that way, and so I just wanna get close to him, that's what it means to be holy.  Are you with me? By the way, I need to say this too, because in case you guys are wondering. I'm wearing my new favorite shirt. This is my new favorite shirt. It's got my daughters on there, Brittany, Morgan, Hannah, and Bailey. And I found out that I'm a girl dad. Yep, whatever that means, I'm a girl dad. So someone said, what is that shirt you got on? What's that shirt say? Anyway, who are some of your favorite authors? Let's see, John, Paul, Matthew, Peter? No, I don't really have any favorite authors if you mean secular, well, secular. If you mean people that are just writers either of Christian material or non-Christian material, none. You wonder why I don't have any favorite authors? Be honest with you guys, I'll be honest with you.  I really do not like reading. Don't like reading. I would much rather have the audio version. However, if you give me something to read that has the audio version or video versus the reading, I'd rather, and it's pertinent. Let's say, if I'm looking at someone's topics, I want to addressing something over a particular topic. In many cases, I want to just read what they're saying because I can just kind of take my time and look through it, but I don't like reading. But he also asks, Warren also asks, what do you think of husband and wife pastor duos? I don't think anything about them other than what God has said that they are not biblical. There is no such thing as a husband and wife pastor duo. Now, if the wife is helping the pastor kind of take care of things, but she's not out front leading and so forth, in other words, she's helping him. Maybe she's helping him do research or what have you. Maybe she's typing up his sermons for him. Not that she's giving him that. She's telling him what to say, got a problem right there. But he's got his notes and she's putting it together for that kind of thing. She's, you know, they're working as a team. Nothing wrong with that. But if she's co-pastor, we got a problem. Houston, we have a problem. Huh, hold on, hold on, I didn't see this. Is it obviously obvious that John MacArthur is obviously lower-hanging fruit than Mike Todd obviously is. No, no. Again, both of these men, Mike Todd and John MacArthur, matter of fact, it's possible. It is possible that both of them are saved. It's possible that neither of them are saved. Either way than that, do I believe that John MacArthur saved? Sure, I do. Sure, I do. At present, I have a favorable view of him. I do not have a favorable view of Mike Todd. Now it could be that Mike Todd is just, he's saved, but he's just grossly ignorant of the script here, which he really is of that. And so he makes and says some things that are just obvious. Now, the issue with MacArthur, and the reason why I don't know what I said, I said at present I have a favorable view, even with everything that's happened with him that's going on with him right now, because as I've said, and I'm going to, I'll give you all a little bit of hint of something that I am going to go ahead and address something that's been stated out there that I have changed my view on John MacArthur. When I play the video tapes, I'll play the last video that I made about John MacArthur and I'll play the very first ones that I made after the whole issue came out and then the second one after that and the next one after that. And I'm gonna ask you to tell me where I changed. I'm gonna ask you because I went back and I said, you know what? After my knee-jerk response, he got to go, I came back and said, you know what, let me just listen to hear some more stuff. Now, he's wrong. He was wrong in how he handled the whole issue with the woman whose husband was abusing him. There's no two ways about that. Does that mean he's got to go? I said no. As a matter of fact, I said I'm not calling for him to go. Though folks will say, hey, Cor, you haven't changed.  You're gonna owe me an apology when you see that. Wait a minute, he's been saying the same thing. Let me just say it again clearly. At present, I'll leave it in the category that he has a favorable standing with me, how he handles some other things I disagree with. But I can promise you this and maybe some of you guys might wanna start looking at who you like. Your favorite pastors or your pastor period, that is, indeed, if you have a pastor, or yourself. Pick a person, name one, who didn't do things favorably all the time, who made some egregious mistakes, who has had some moments of pride kicking in. You find that pastor who doesn't fit that criteria. I'll find you a dead person or a person that never existed. The only guy that's been like that has been Jesus. The only guy that's been like that. And so we're gonna find out, or you're gonna find out that everybody that you think is Saint so-and-so or the greatest pastor or not, you're gonna find that person is horrible too.  All of them. And so I've decided to hold off on judgment until I get all the information. Now all the information isn't all the information that one person is given or two people are given.  It looks incriminating. I didn't hear from the other side. Well, the other side isn't giving me their side of the story. Well, okay then, does that mean I have to give an explanation? I don't. You know why? Cause it's not up to me to do so. I can, you know what? Fine, until something else comes out, I'll move on to do what I'm supposed to do. Because guess what? It's never been in my mission to do. It's not my mission to bring him down. By the way, it's nobody's mission to bring any one person down.  But then that's that. Do you, instead of doing them? So, but do I think that he's low hanging fruit or Mike Todd is low hanging fruit compared to, no. No, because truth be told that, yeah, Cameron. Truth be told, there are people, and the reason why I stayed up the first way is that there are some people who hate Mike Todd.  You are wrong too. Because he, Mike Todd, matters to God. He does. God wants to see him redeemed. There's no one person I can think of that when I see that person and hear that person speak, ah, that just wrangles me. No, there's no one person that's just like that. So, if that's how you are, you're going to have to check your heart. Oftentimes, God isn't trying to see interest in about this other person as much as he's interested in seeing how you respond, what you do, how you feel, how you can port yourself. And so, if you had this hatred towards Mike Todd or anyone else, you've got a problem. So, Mike Todd is easy for other folks to hate. But guess what? So too is John MacArthur.  And so, he's also easy to hate. He's also easy to love. So too is Mike Todd. He's also easy to love. So, in the Graspman thing, neither of those are low-hanging fruit. It's just who's on your radar. There are some folks like who in the world is John MacArthur. Some folks like who in the world is Mike Todd. Now, if you are more charismatic, more, what have you, you might be inclined to like Mike Todd and give him some leeway. If you are more reformed or more conservative, you might be inclined to give John MacArthur a little more leeway. I have just had enough experience in dealing with pastors, good and bad, to know or, and just preachers, to know that every last one of them are flawed. And what happens is when you start, when you don't know that they're men, when you forget that fact and we used to do something wrong or mess up, now you get upset angry. Now, nobody qualifies. Nobody is, nobody is good enough to feel the role of someone that I ought to listen to because they got some stink in their walk. Well, that's everybody. That's everybody. So, we hold them to the standard that's here and then we move on. BJ, I got you though. I got you. Let me answer this question. He says, uh-oh, I pushed the wrong button. BJ, a faithful super chat, by the way, BJ. He says, why were there demons thrown in Tartarus? This word, Tartarus, it's actually, let me read this passage to you. It's kind of weird. So, let me read this passage to you. It shows up in the Bible that name, that title, once, once. Let me just show you how it goes. For if God did not, first, 2 Peter 2.4, for if God did not spare the angels when they sinned, but cast them into hell and committed them to pits of darkness reserved for judgment and did not spare the ancient world, but preserved Noah, a preacher's righteousness, with seven others, when he brought a flood upon the world of the ungodly. And if he condemned the cities of Sidon and Gomorrah, drop on down. Then the Lord know, I'm sorry, verse seven. And if he rescued righteous light, oppressed by the central conduct of unprincipled men, and heard that righteous, I'm sorry. Then the Lord knows, what I'm doing is, I'm skipping past the partisans, the partisans and the parenthesis. Then the Lord knows how to rescue the godly from temptation and to keep the unrighteous under punishment for the day of judgment. What happens is we can kind of link all of that together. I read that because that's all part of one continual thought. By the way, in the Bible, one of the things that they teach you, especially if you learn in Greek, is you've got to understand how to deal with participle phrases. You see a lot of them, a lot. Paul does them, Peter does them. It's like, wow, it's like these big, they violate a lot of our English rules, these big long run-on sentences and so forth. But anyway, let's go back to it. He says, for God did not spare the angels. Let's find this word, here it is. For if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but cast them into hell and committed them to the pits of darkness reserved for judgment. Look what he says. A, if, gar. So for if God hath payas angalom, the angels, these right here that sin, harmete santon, which is they sinned, those that sinned, uk efe satah, which he did not spare, Allah but, there's a reason why I'm reading it this way. There's a reason why I'm reading it this way. Spare ice, zafu, which is the pits of darkness or in a, or bound in darkness and then, but cast. The cast part, the cast part doesn't correlate with hell. Or you could say cast them into hell. It is tartarosa, which is, I guess, the pits of hell, tartarosa is, now, if you look at it from ancient Greek, it is this, the deepest parts of hell, a real deep pit of hell. So the Bible doesn't make that distinction. Now, are there different parts of hell? Seems to be, because Jesus says that it will be better for these people in that day than it will be for these people. So here's a question that, so let's go back to the question that you asked, which was, what was the question you asked? Did I put it on the screen? I didn't put it on the screen. The question you asked, what was the question you asked? Talk, go on it, BJ. That was me messing up. If I could find the question, there it is. Why were there demons thrown into tartars? So the question would be, why does it seem, and it looks like they were thrown in before. There is an argument that can be made that he's not speaking of them in prison yet, but then there's another passage in Jude that tells us that there are some that have been reserved in chains because they left their abode. Is that also speaking of kind of a future tense? There is, there are those that make that argument. I'm not making that argument. What I believe is that these are demons who are the worst of the worst. These are the demons who are the worst. Now I think this point, I don't think this passage in Second Peter is referring to what Jude is referring to. I don't think Second Peter is referring to Jude. I have to say he's just speaking of these demons. That could be, it could be. But there are demons who are, seems to be, they are the worst of the worst. They, they're just running. It seems to me that they're most, that most demons know how to act, if I can say it that way. And they're these other demons who are just can't be let, they deserve to be in the supermax of prison. Why? The Bible doesn't tell us. The Bible does not tell us. And so this is one of those passages where you know what? I don't know. I don't know. And this is where, this is where you have to just be able to say, yeah, you know what? I think it might mean this, but ultimately I've got to go with my, with the greatest bit of evidence. The greatest way that I can say this is, I think this, but I don't know. Don't really know. And so I'll leave it at that. So, okay. In First Samuel, why was Eli punished for the sins of his sons in First Samuel? Well, Eli was a man of God. Good. His sons were not, his sons were horrible. Matter of fact, this is actually why I named, why we named our daughter Hannah. Let me go to First Samuel. Let's start in First Samuel 1-3. Now, this man would go up from his city yearly to worship and to sacrifice to the Lord of hosts in Shiloh. And the two sons of Eli, Haphne and Phineas were priests to the Lord. When the day came that Alcana sacrifice, he would give portions to Panana, his wife and to all her sons and daughters. But to Hannah, he would not, he would give a double portion. Now, the reason why I like this story is because let's see if you can see third on the list, my daughter Hannah. We were sitting trying to figure out, what are we going to name this child? What are we going to name this child? A couple of things came out, one, this story and just to name Hannah. We thought something, how many Hannah's are there?   So, if you look at our daughters, other than Brittany, you don't see a lot of girls with these names.  There is a, whatever, I've got to start naming names and I might name some of you guys's name, right? Matter of fact, the second one Morgan, her name was going to be Ashley, but my wife talked me out of it.  There's no black Bethany's. There are no black Bethany's. There's no Becky. How many Becky's, you know, name that are black? Or, what's her name? Yes, what is it? We were just talking, my wife and I were talking about this the other day. This is without question, Katie. There are some, but if her name is Katie, she's white. Now there's some black Catherine's and Kathy and Kate's, but anyway. That's kind of why we fell in love with the name Hannah. But we were not going, we were not going with some of the, you know, ethnic names. Let me just leave it at that. I got some ethnic name folks in my family. Do I? Yeah, I do. I have a couple. I have a couple, but not a lot, not a lot. So, anyway, let's go back to the story. When the day came that Alcana sacrificed her, I'm sorry, let's drop down to verse six. Her rival, however, would provoke her bitterly to irritate her. I don't want to read the whole thing. I want to get to Eli. Let's go to where Samuel goes to stay with him. Let's go to, let's see, where is this door with Eli and his horrible sons? Let me scroll down, scroll down, scroll, here it is. First Samuel, chapter two, verse 12. Now the sons of Eli were worthless, that's all right. This is not what you want to be known for in the Bible. The sons of Eli were worthless men. They did not know the Lord and the customs of the priests with the people. When any man was offering a sacrifice, the priests' servants would come while the meat was boiling with three pronged forks in his hand. Then he would thrust it into the pan or kettle or cauldron or pot. All that the fork brought up the priests would take for himself. Thus they did in Shiloh to all the Israelites. They were just horrible sons. And so he's getting punished for his sons.  These kids may, they also just been bastards, you know, without a father for as bad as they were because their father was no father. And so they became because of how they behaved and how they tarnished the priesthood, then that's why. And it brought upon a reproach to the name of God. And that's the reason why. So the other story part of it about Hannah had nothing to do with the story. I just wanted to throw out Hannah. Can you see why I'm a girl dad? What are your thoughts on Job 2228? So let's go to Job 2228 and see what it is. You will also decree a thing and it will be established for you and light will shine on your ways. Oh, and so you're asking, can the children of God have the ability to do such a thing? Well, no, let's back up a little bit and let's go to, first of all, let's see who's speaking. First of all, it's not God that's saying this. This is Eliphaz who states it. So he's the one that's responding. Can a vigorous man be of use to God or a wise man be useful to himself? Is there any pleasure now? So what he's saying was not God ordained. And so no, he's, now in what the first three friends of Job are saying, there's some truth in what they're saying, but they applied it incorrectly. The fourth one, the younger one comes and he gives a statement about God as well. He is more accurate in understanding God and how God should be reverence. But because he says you can decree a thing, no, we can't. We don't have the ability to decree it. No, we can decree it. We can decree all we want to. I can decree, I can decree and declare all I want. That mean a thing. Now, if I decree and declare what God has decreed and declared, then it's gonna come to pass.  If you guys want to be a prophet or an apostle, here's what you do. Decree and declare what God decreed and declare.  You get a following of those who just wanna follow somebody named Apostle something, a prophet so and so. But that's it, because your words are gonna be too boring for the rest of the people. Nah, I don't care what that says. Decree and declare something about me. So, what about Karen?  Is that, I heard that somewhere, it's like, is that what we call the black Karen, we call it Keisha now? Are demons and evil spirits the same, Joseph asked? Yes, they are. Are demons and evil spirits the same? Yes, they are, except, except, if we take one, where we say that God sends a disturbing spirit or a distressing spirit, that is that God sends it to where this person has distressed on them. If, if, if, if I, nah, so I'm gonna read it this way and I think that's how you read it for himself. That's the way that he sent the demon to do so. But it could be, could be. But if it's that God sent this, that it came from God, God can cause a person to be distressed.  And so in that case, it's just a sensation of feeling. And so if we're talking about that, then no, that's not an evil spirit, okay? But demons are evil spirits. Matthew 10.7, what does Jesus mean in Matthew 10.7? To preach that the kingdom of heaven is at hand. Matthew 10.7. And as you go preaching saying the kingdom of heaven is at hand, this word here for at hand is Angikene, which is near. It's near, it's, it's, it's coming close. And so what does that mean? Well, at this point in time, they're going around preaching. Look what he says, let's, let's go a little bit further. Verse five, these, these 12 Jesus sent out after instructing to them, do not go in the way of the Gentiles and do not enter into the city of the Samaritans, but rather go to the lawsuit of the house of Israel. And as you go, preach saying the kingdom of heaven is at hand, it's coming close. He's just telling them to get ready because what Christ is getting ready to do is getting ready to take place. They don't know when, they don't know how, they don't know at what manner, but just preach to them. And this was prophesied for Israel to receive this, but they just won't take it. So that's what that means. All right, let me, let me keep going fast. By the way, Cheshire, am I moving fast enough? I don't, I'm trying to go fast. Lady T says, can you expound on Romans 11-29? I believe this refers to Israel not being completely abandoned by holy God and not what many pastors preached it to be. And you're probably right. Let's go to Romans 11-9. I mean, Romans 11-29. By the way, one of the best things, most practical things I've learned in my life, not Bible-wise or anything like that, but one of the best things you can learn guys, especially your children, teach your children if you yourself how to type. I can't tell you how much that has helped me, just being able to type. I'm not a fast type or I can't type 80 words a minute. I think on my tests, I type about 40, 45 per minute, 60 if we're not counting spelling. So, I've just been helpful. For the gifts and, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, Lady T. This passage is, matter of fact, matter of fact, I'm gonna do Lady T. I'm gonna make a video of this because this passage bothers me so much how people misuse this. For the gifts and calling of God are irrevocable. For just as you once were disobedient to God, but now have been shown mercy because of their disobedience. They don't read the second part of this. They don't read the verses before that or after that to even get context. They just know that the gifts and calling are irrevocable and they'll try to make these to talk about spiritual gifts. It's not what he's talking about. It's not what he's talking about. He's not talking about spiritual gifts. He's talking about what he's doing for Israel and that he has called Israel. So, Lady T, you are absolutely right. You know what you are Lady T?  Without question. Let me, hold on, let me look at this. Let's look at this real quick. I'm looking up something really quickly, guys. Yes, I mentioned before that yom always means a 24-hour period. Do you believe the day of the Lord is a 24-hour period? It uses the same Hebrew word yom. Let me correct myself. That always mean an actual 24-hour period. But in the context that is typically used, yom, now, just like a day to us means a 24-hour, like if I asked you, what's the definition of a day? You would say a 24-hour period. Same thing with Hemeri in Greek means a day. But there's different nuances to where even in the Hebrew as well as in Greek, it can mean at time.  Great day in the Lord. I mean, what a great time, right? And so, I stand corrected if I said that. The literal meaning is 24 hours. But in the context, there are times where you have to say, okay, how is He using this, right? So, the day of the Lord, this though is an actual day. That is an actual day. Now, does it mean that it takes place in a 24-hour period? Only no, it's just on that day marks that particular time. So, in this case, the day of the Lord literally does refer to a little 24-hour day, but it's not meant to encompass solely or only that 24-hour period. Does that make sense? I hope so, because I wanted to make sense to you. All right. If a person supports the KKK, can they be Christian? Yes and no, yes and no. Cory, how can a person support the KKK and still be a Christian? Because you can do things and say things and believe things ignorantly. What is required for salvation? That you place your faith in Christ.  I've known people that were oblivious to what the KKK was about. I knew a guy who thought the KKK was more than what they, or wasn't what worked, what they really were. And then he started finding like, whoa, okay. That's why, see, sometimes some of the nuance have to come in, you gotta get a little bit more understanding. What do you mean by you support?  For example, there are those that will say, if you vote Democrat, you're not a Christian. Well, no, no. Now, I'm voting for all babies to be killed. That's okay. I'm voting for LDLGBTQ, I'm gonna vote for all that stuff. I knowingly support that. Well, now that's different. I knew some, Byron, I knew somebody was gonna bring it up. I knew somebody was gonna bring it like Dave Chappelle. I knew it was coming. What was the guy's name? Clayton Bixby. I knew it was coming. But you can do things in ignorance. Let me just say that again, guys. You can be saved and do things in ignorance. We do it all the time. So, but if I place my faith in Christ, what's gonna be happening? What's gonna be happening? The spirit is gonna be working in me and removing a whole bunch of stuff. In one day, no. You know how I know it doesn't do it in one day? Cause I can see you guys.  Be honest with yourself. You know what? He's still got some. He's got a lot of stupidity out of me and he's got a lot more to go. So that's just same with me. That bit was hilarious. I was in my office. I'll never forget this. I was in my office. We had a couple of offices and I was at the South office. The Southern office had more black folks in it. Why is that? I don't know. What's up with the South side? Anyway, I came back from, we had an office out in Park Central, out in North Dallas. I drove back over and this was like, I still remember this day. It was like one or two o'clock. So I still have a good way to go. And he said, did you ever check out that Clayton Biggsby thing? No, man, check it out. Eatin' your lunch. Go ahead and check it out. I took off the rest of the day. I laughed so hard and I was sharing. Like, hilarious, hilarious bit, hilarious bit. And then when he divorced his wife, don't say why he divorced his wife in the chats, guys. But that was funny though. That was hilarious. Can two divorced believers remarry if both are alive and one marries first? They can do what they wanna do. Are they supposed to? No. Is it a perpetual? Is it, cause here's the question, guys. This we need to realize, ask yourself. Is it a perpetual sin? No, it's not. No, it's not.  Should not have gotten divorced, but are divorced. If you are divorced and it was not for the other person's sexual sin, then is that a sin? Sure. Is it a sin forever, perpetual sin? No, that means you never forgiven them. Am I saying go ahead and do it? Cause what we don't wanna do is, go ahead and do the thing, cause God's gonna forgive me. No, no, no, we're not gonna do that. We're not gonna do that. But once it's done and you're sorrowful, man, I wish I had never done this. I wish I'd never done that. Even if what I did led to something better in my life, fine, but I wish I had never sinned. I wish I had never sinned. Man, that bothers me. Okay. Like Jesus, go and sin no more. Stop dwelling on your past sin and don't let anyone else cause you to dwell on it. I have, I hated what I did and I moved on. Logan says, I skipped your question. I skipped my, you skipped my question. Let me go to Logan. Okay. Why don't you believe in limited atonement when Jesus says that he lays down his life for the sheep? Does he say that he's like, that he lays down his life for only the sheep or for the sheep only? No, he does not. As a matter of fact, he tells us that he, that he's a appreciation not just for our sins, but for also the world as well. And when we're talking about, this is the first time, when we're talking about this perpetuation, this payment for sin and we're using the atonement as, which is the word, limited atonement, is playing off of the old covenant atonement. Perpetuation under the old covenant was made for everybody, guys. He didn't change the rules just because now all of a sudden, I'm not picking on Calvinists, but Calvinists believe in limited atonement. He didn't change the rules for them. It's based off of the old covenant atonement. Perpetuation was made for everybody, not just Israel. It's made for the whole assembly, all of the nation. Are you with me? Now, does that mean, does that mean that all of the assembly, all of Israel will be atoned for? No, no, because you just have to place your faith in it. Whether a person doesn't have faith in it or not, doesn't mean that he didn't make the payment. Doesn't mean that he didn't shed his blood. That's why my issues by current temptations, mine as well, mine as well. We have enough problems with our current issues than dealing with our past issues. Amen. Would it be a sin to get a tattoo of a Bible verse? Let me answer it this way, Brandon. I'm sorry, Brandon, SD 14. What's the SD? Is that for San Diego, South Dakota? Smooth Dog? What's the SD for? I'm curious. But here's your answer to the question, Brandon. Would it be a sin to get a tattoo of a Bible verse? I wouldn't say it's a sin, but let me tell you what it's not. Just like it's not a sin to go into your friendly neighborhood Walmart, go use the bathroom and sit on the toilet with no barrier between you. That wouldn't be a sin. Would not be a sin at all. It's not a sin. Brandon, it's not a sin. Now, is it wise? Now we're getting somewhere. Just because it's not a sin, doesn't mean you should do it. Because Brandon, you're gonna get older and you're gonna say, why in the world did I do that? Why in the world did I do that?  They don't care. Fine, I'm not, I wouldn't do it. I wouldn't do it. So it's just wisdom. Now, but it's a Bible verse and I'm giving glory to God. Well, first of all, two things, why? Name, I've yet to see a person. See, now it's probably happened. It may have happened, but a person walks by and see you got a Bible verse tattooed on your arm. Now it needs to be someplace visible for it to benefit someone else. If it's benefiting you, then the question is why? How does that benefit you? But I want other folks to see it.  Get a t-shirt with that on there. You're gonna get older and you're gonna wish, now I wish I didn't do that. I wish I didn't do that. Especially if you get one on your chest or on your back, on your leg, then what's the point? Thank you, thank you, all I need, all I need, Jesus. Thank you, I appreciate that. I appreciate that. The only goal is, sometimes I'll be a little open and honest to show folks, hey, listen, me too.  By the way, Dianne, did you get my, what did I send you? I don't know if I sent you a text or if I sent you an email about the newsletter deal. I'm slow when it comes to responding. You'll find out that if you email me or you text me, email me, listen, you might have, you might as well use your mini mail. Yeah, mail courage from human. You might as well use them. It's gonna be a long time for our response. If you text, if you happen to have the number you text, then I'll get back, typically not, unless I'm absolutely looking at this doggone thing. Cause what I do now, for some reason, I put the phone on, vibrate, and I forget to move, take it off vibration, and I don't see anything. So if I'm actually just looking at the thing, and I'll see it. So, but if you have my number to call me, just call me. The best way to get in touch with me, call me. So anyway, thank you, spider monkey for a righteous man will fall seven times and rise, but the ungodly shall be without strength in troubles. Reginald Hancock, do you really go by Reginald? Most Reginalds, let's see, most Reginalds go by Reggie, but okay. I guess the more mature ones go by Reginald. Yeah, that makes sense. I emailed you on a video, Heretic Richard Lorenzo, Jr. You did? Now listen, Reginald, brother, you emailed him to me? Let me go and look right now. Wow, I got a lot of emails. When did you do it? Tell you what, send it again. Send it again, Reginald, and I'll make it a point to go look for it, because I don't know when you did it, so and I just happened to have this email open because I had to send someone something else back. So thank you, Jeff, I appreciate that, I appreciate that. This was her, my wife's oldest brother who passed away. He's a month younger than me, and so yeah. That's why, as I said earlier, if you didn't catch it, we will not have the Bible study on tomorrow because we will have the moral service for him on tomorrow, so we will not have the Bible study tomorrow, so. Okay, let's continue. Okay, CG says Matthew 120, it states that an angel appeared to Joseph, but Matthew 124 states that the angel with a definite article did. So was it an angel or God? This was not the definite article, I mean, the angel of God, or the angel of the Lord. How do I know? Because matter of fact, let's go to that passage. Let's go to that passage. Matthew, this is one of those examples where the angel of the Lord didn't mean Jesus. Here it is, but when he had considered this, that is him putting Mary away, Joseph, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream. Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife. So now we'll go to 24. And Joseph awoke from his sleep and did as the angel of the Lord commanded him. Well, in this case, we can see that the is referring to who? The angel that showed up at the first time, that angel. So no, this is not referring to Jesus. He couldn't be referring to the angel, to Jesus because Jesus, he is now in Mary. So, or here's the pre-incarnate Jesus, the pre-incarnate Christ. So no, this is an actual angel. And so that angel, if we're referring to that specific angel, then hey, the angel of the Lord over there, that's what we're talking about, okay? So it would look kind of clumsy grammatically if we go on and refer him in verse 24 as and say, and Joseph awoke from his sleep and did as an angel of the Lord told him, that just wouldn't, it wouldn't even sound right. So that's why it has a definite article there. Okay, I've got to take a few more questions because I have to run over to my mother-in-law's house and just a little bit, guys, to help with things for tomorrow. So, I'm gonna take a few more questions. BJ's like, how did you, how did you? I can't believe you asked that question. Like, I can't, just to think about that. Thank you all for the condolences. Just to think about that, I don't know. I don't, I don't know. And I'll be honest with you, BJ, I don't even wanna think about it. I don't even wanna think about it. You can share the gospel with a tattoo artist, but yeah, it's not necessary to get a tattoo. Yeah. I'll never forget, I was talking to some guys who would, who was putting on tattoos. We're just going on all the practical reasons, not the biblical reasons as to why you don't need a tattoo. Now, this isn't prison, everybody in prison has a tattoo. Everybody in prison has a tattoo. Not everybody, but most do. And so my statement was why? Well, you know, you wanna show your love for your children and so forth. Well, don't they know? Do you have to put it, if you have to put a tattoo on your back to show your kids that you love them, something's going on, something's wrong.  First of all, most of tattoos people have, you can't even see them. What was the point? Matter of fact, most tattoos, you can't even see them. So I've never understood that. I, it's for somebody else to see and not for you to see. And then half of them, they can't even see them. Anyway, so let's, I'm taking this girl, I'm talking to this girl. She is a female pastor at age 20. God saved at 17. We got a whole lot going on right here. God saved at 17 and we disagree on the issues of female pastors. I'm stuck on asking her out or not. She is not willing to change her mind. Well, then finds you another one. That's all I can say, brother. Find you, find you another one. But if she, now, I'm gonna assume. I'm gonna assume something. Maybe you all can assume with me. I'm gonna assume she's pretty.  That's what I'm gonna assume. I'm gonna assume if she was bald head with a little bit of mustache, a little bit of stubble, you kick her to the curb. That's what I'm gonna assume. So I'm gonna assume that she is nice looking. So you're willing, you're willing to labor with her a little bit. You're willing to restore her with all gentleness and meekness. That's what I'm assuming. It's fine if you want to. It's, listen, it's fine if you want to continue to try to, if you wanna continue to try to work with her and talk to her, that's fine. I guess, listen, I guess the prettier she is, the more patience you have, huh? The more, it doesn't know what happened, guys and gals. The more good looking the other person is, the more tolerant we tend to be early on. After a while though, listen, after a while you get older, I don't care what you look like.  I'm through with you, I can't deal with you. So you might want to give her the word and if she can't deal with the word. First of all, she's too young to be a pastor anyway. She's way too young. If there was a such thing as a female pastor, if it was a guy, a 20 year old pastor, no, never. No, never, sorry. So, but all you can do is give her the word.   You know my greatest claim to fame in prison? While being in prison, I mean, listen, everybody, listen, everybody can say this, but I can say this, I was celibate in prison. So a lot of guys I wasn't. I was, all you, it's the same in prison as it is outside. It's the same thing, the same thing in prison as it is outside because I knew a guy who that was his issue and he didn't have any kind of tact the way he gave a testimony for the church in prison and he thought that, you know, once I got out of prison, it'll be a lot easier. It's not, is it in, are there more or less or just as many sexual temptations outside of prison? You don't have to be in prison to the answer, there's more. And so the same way is just by keeping your mind on God. Thankfully enough, here's the good thing, in prison, Albert said you better be, you caught that. See, some folks didn't catch that when I said I was celibate, but thankfully there's always somebody watching you. That helps, that helps in prison, not always, but a lot of times folks were watching you. So anyway, let's get focused guys, back on track. Let me answer a few more questions. Let's go with a few more questions. Yeah, that's still been a babe in Christ. Three years saved plus you're young. God saved at 17, but we have this desire that we just think we know everything, especially the younger you are, the more you know everything. I'm talking to my 12 year old granddaughter and she just, she wants to tell us everything. She wants to tell, Steve called it, she wants to tell us everything.  You would, you'd cry, but we were there too. Couldn't tell us anything at 12 or 13 or 20. Told you, I told my father, I don't need you anymore. I'm grown, I'm 19, I'm leaving. And I left in his car. I left in his car and then proceeded to wreck that car. And then daddy, I need, something happened to your car. Your car got wrecked. That was the same day that my coach called me up and said, you don't have a scholarship. You can't come, no, you can't come back to school unless your daddy pays for it. I just, no, no, no, bad timing, bad timing. I just told my daddy, I don't need him. Anyway, Pocahontas says, what coffee do you drink? Honestly, it depends on who's buying. If my daughter, number three, buys it. If Hannah buys it, whatever she buys. It can be coffee from McDonald's. It can be coffee from Starbucks. Some others, some others, coffee joint she just found. That didn't matter to me. Morgan, every now and then, she'll buy me some coffee. My wife usually doesn't, because she doesn't usually drink a lot of coffee. Bailey can't, because no, she didn't have any money, because she just turned 17. I think Brittany's bought me a couple of coffee cups once or twice, whatever they want to buy me. But if it's me buying it, it's usually Folgers. Not because I love Folgers, but because when we were in prison, we had two kinds of coffees. We had Keefy coffee. And if you had some money, you'd splurge and buy Folgers. Some of you all made, some of you all don't know who Keefy is, Keefy Coffee. And so that's just why. So now I just buy the thing of Folgers because I'm just used to it. But I don't, as long as it got caffeine and it didn't matter to me. So why do so many pastors leave out the blood of Christ? I don't know. Are there a lot who do so? The blood is of the utmost importance. The fact that Jesus died the way he did in the manner that he did, it is like and unto what we see happening with the sacrificial offering on the altar under the old covenant atonement. It was messy. It was gory.  Same thing with Jesus. The way that he suffered for us. The way that he was tormented for us even prior to going to the cross. The way that he was beaten and bruised and battered for us.  Why you would ever wanna leave out the significance of the blood? I have no idea why you would do so. Life is in the blood. The life is in the blood. And so he gives his blood up for us. Only his blood was the only blood that was worthy. Any pastor who minimizes, who leans it out, you're doing a disservice to the gospel. Amen. That would have been a good mic drop moment. I could just hit the button right there, huh? Okay, that's another discussion with someone else. Yep. Folders in your cup. Peanut butter and jelly is, you know what? I don't have a favorite sandwich, but I love peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. Love. Yeah, I love peanut butter and jelly. I hate, I will eat a peanut butter sandwich by itself, but nah, not really. Peanut butter and jelly, yes. Yes. Matter of fact, I also like, what's that? The, where it's mixed together. What's that? What's that called? Where the peanut butter and jelly is mixed together? You don't know what it is. I like that also. But my favorite sandwich, I really don't have, oh, oh, I'm sorry. Yes, I do. Yes, I do. Do you know what my wife made for me for Father's Day? No, not Smuckers. What she made me. My favorite sandwich, an egg and bacon sandwich. An egg and bacon sandwich. Yep, that is my favorite sandwich. Should I marry a bald head man if you know what's good for you? Why would you not? Why would you not? Why would you not? I mean, all things mean equal. You got two guys. Let's say they're twins. Gouver, that's what it is, Daryl, thank you. I'm sorry, I'm all over the place. You got two guys. One would hear and one would out. It's no brainer. It's a no brainer. Who said a mayonnaise sandwich? You are not saved.  We'll get to remove that wrench from you. Mayo sandwich, are you serious? How many of you all think that mayonnaise and Miracle Whip are the same thing? If you do, you're not saved. If you do, you're not saved. Who said Gouver's is not gross? Gouver's is not gross. Gonna have to remove her wrench too. She did, yeah, I thought she knew better. It's okay though, gonna pray for you. Yeah, thank you, Janae. Disappointing, Dianna. Maybe she didn't, you know what it is? This is what I said before. You can be saved and just not know some stuff. And so Dianna doesn't know what Gouver's is. She doesn't, she, listen, she might've just been raised wrong, guys. She's from New York, so that might be it. Gouver's is it. You ain't got a refrigerator or nothing. Let him go bald. Let him go bald. A net is not saved. That is black. Elmins is the, that is, wow. You learn a lot about people when you just read their comments. You really do. Okay, let me just, let me, let, let. Please explain, I had to go to a passage. Please explain Malachi 4-6 in contrast with Luke 12-53. I should, you know what, now you got me doing two of them at once. You got me looking at two passages. Malachi, Malachi 4-6, compared to Luke 12-53. All right, let's see if there's a comparison. He will restore the hearts of the fathers to their children and the hearts of the children to their fathers so that I will not come and smite the land with a curse. Oh, I see where you're going. I see where you're going. Let's start in verse five, though. Behold, I'm going to send you Elijah, the prophet before the coming of the great and terrible day of the Lord. He will restore the hearts of the fathers to their children and the hearts of the children to their fathers so that I will not come and smite the land with a curse. Then here, they will be divided, father against son and sons against father, mother against, okay. So wait a second, you just said that he will restore the hearts of the fathers to their children and the hearts of the children to their father, but then over here, he says that father will be against son and son against father. How could that be? Well, one, when he comes, there will be, his point in that passage in Luke is that there will be this division between those that will be forgot and those that won't be forgot. And on some cases, it will be parent and child or vice versa, but he's also speaking here of what he's going to do with it, with the land of Israel, with their people. He will restore the hearts of the fathers to their children. Ah, let's see, let me look at one thing real quick. Matter of fact, let's look at this passage too. Another passage, it is he who will go as a forerunner for him in the spirit and power of Elijah to turn the hearts of the father back to the children and the disobedient to the attitude of the righteous so as to make ready of people prepared for the Lord. So what he's going to do is, now all of it won't be, there will be some that will. And so we've got two different people, those that will reject Christ and those that will. And those that will, their hearts will be turned back to the hearts of the fathers and so forth. There will be this many of the two. And so now he's really speaking of, he's speaking of John the Baptist, being this forerunner for Christ. All of the people will not, so all of the people will not turn. And so there'll be this stark division, as he says that I've come to turn a mother against a father against son and son against father and so forth. That's not everybody, be with me. Because let's say I'm a believer and my father's a believer, well then we're not against each other. So it doesn't mean everybody, are you with me? And so that's the point that he's making. Is the title reverend appropriate? I don't think so. I don't think so. At a former church, we would never, we never called each other reverend. You know, no, hey, Reverend Corey, Reverend Miner, Reverend Bill, Reverend, no, we didn't know because that's you being, probably we didn't do it at a former church. One, we didn't have, matter of fact, I haven't done, we haven't done that in any of the churches that I've been in since my very first church. Whereas you have the ministers or the preachers sitting to either together or on stage, that was never our theme because it's like, are we to be exalted above anybody else, the special place? We didn't do that. No, matter of fact, you set with your family. If you are preaching that day or if you're doing something on a stage, then you want to sit close to the stage, but there was never like a special place. And then calling someone else, Reverend, support now, no.  There would be times when we would go to a guest church and all the preachers would be together and they would take care of us. Except from the other people. It's like, and listen, if you felt good, they were taking care of you, but no, I would never call a person Reverend. Now, this is where we're gonna just pray for Dinah. Never gonna pray for Dinah. Stake is worth a jam. Okay, hamburger helper is what you do when you don't feel like cooking. It's like, okay, whatever.    Because that was one of the meals in prison too. I hated it. I hated it. Ugh, I hated it. But sometimes you gotta eat it. Let me think about that for a second, Austin. Is self-forgiveness taught in the Bible that I have to leave? Is self-forgiveness. Yes, let me see how to put this, Austin. While I'm looking at some of the nasty things that you guys think is okay. Thank you, Saved by Grace. Well, in the sense that you don't forgive, I mean that you don't condemn yourself. Condemning of yourself or anyone else is not taught by the Bible. So in the sense that it's just not taught. But now having a lowly attitude in the sense that I'm not great or I'm not worthy, that's fine. But that's not harboring something against yourself. You are forgiven. Now, if you think that you're not forgiven, then what are you saying? Not about yourself, but about the one who has forgiven you. And so there in life is a problem. That was what you just said, Dinah. You gotta find a babysitter now and days back when we were younger. You just left in the house and mom and daddy said, don't open door for anybody. That's all it was. Yeah, hamburger helper and rice, beef stroke. Wait, gun blade. Okay, first of all, your name was Gunblade. So I'm assuming you were in prison. Just by the name Gunblade, I'm assuming you were in prison. Yeah, that beef stroking off in prison was hard. It was like an unending jump they would send you. What do I think about UFOs and aliens? Thank you, Miguel Saliz. I appreciate that. Thank you for the super chat. I don't know. And I've got to say, I don't know. Is it possible that there is something else out there? It's possible. The Bible just doesn't say. Makes you wonder though if it is, where are you being? Where have you been? So I don't, all we can say is I don't know. Do I think they have locked away somewhere, some aliens that they have someplace, or someone said the Nephilim, they have the Nephilim somewhere in a secret hiding place? No, I don't think that. Because one thing we've learned is that people do not keep secrets. People don't keep secrets. Yeah, Leon, time to, don't open the door for anybody. And if you do, you get in a whooping. So, listen, let me give my political statement while I'm on my way out the door. Sheila, I am not, I would rather not see Trump back in office personally, but dawg on it, gosh dawg it. If it comes down between Trump and the one we got now, I'm sorry guys, I'm sorry. I'm sorry, I just, this one we got now, I apologize, I apologize. I apologize for what I'm about to say, but if Biden loses the presidency, I don't think he'll know it. I don't think he'll know it, that's just me. Yeah, Darrell, call me, I have to talk about something. I have to talk about something, because the date that you're looking at, I can't do. What? He held up his hand to the Indian, did he? That's my president. That's my president. Don't you all talk about my president? But I support him, he's my president. He's my president, if anybody, listen, only us, family, we can talk about him. But yeah, listen, if I acted like Trump, or if you acted like Trump, you should be shamed on me, but what he is, is what he was in terms of his, what he did in the job, is what every politician is supposed to be. Hear me out, not in terms of their character and their mannerism or their behavior, but each politician is supposed to be a tool. And we're not supposed to vote someone based on their personality, whether it's good or bad, but the fact that they're gonna do what the constituents back at home do. So for example, if you are voting for someone in the house in your district or the Senate in your state, they are supposed to go to Washington DC or to the state capital would have you and represent the people, not their own opinion. It shouldn't be that this candidate is pro-life. It shouldn't be that this candidate is pro-abortion. It shouldn't be that this candidate is for tighter border security. It shouldn't be that this candidate is for a looser tax policy, a loose money policy. It shouldn't be those things at all. It should be what the people at home were for. They're supposed to, this is, guys, this is how our government was set up. It didn't run this way at all. It's supposed to go and represent the people there. That's what, I'm supposed to, if I'm gonna let them go to Washington DC and do what they want, not what I want, but we don't, we've gotten that twisted. Thank you, Annette, I appreciate that. Thank you so much, as well as Cocoa Streets. No, Socoa Streets. What I do sometimes, and I'll let you guys go, but sometimes I look at your names and it's because I'm what you call fried a little bit. I'm a little bit prison fried. And so I take your names and see what that name work in prison. Like hit or miss, prison name, D-Grant, prison name. That one beats, ah, that, let's see.  Socoa Streets, we have to call you Socoa, okay.  BT, good prison name. Daryl King, you'd be DK or King. That's what you'd be in prison, he's your prison names. I know, I know it's like every prison, there's like four or five mannies there. I know a BJ in prison. So, well Tina, why'd you come in so late sweetheart, but glad you're here, glad you're here. No, Jeff, we would call you Burger. We would call you Burger. Let's see, okay, Akilah, first of all, I would say that there are no guys we would call Sweet Key in prison, but there are some guys and you would call Sweet Key in prison. So yeah, there is that, there is that. Young Willie, yep, I know Young Willie. So, anyway, guys, I'm having too much fun and I have to leave, my family's waiting for me. Adam, thank you for Adam Brown. Hey Brown, I'm gonna start calling you guys, I'm gonna give you guys prison names. Dining would be DR and we got some DRs in prison. Disco Bob, there's one day, one day I was gonna give you a list of just prison names. There's some names. I told you there weren't this one guy, he came in fresh off the bus and guys said, what did they call you? That's kind of, you know, it's prison talk. What they call you? This boy said they call me chocolate.  I'm calling the grown man chocolate. No. Tank on, somebody said, boy, you better change that name. You better change that name. Anyway, what just happened? Oh, that's something else, okay. Somebody just spent some money. Anyway, guys, it's been wonderful. I will see you. I'm not sure in what regard tomorrow, because remember, we've got this memorial service to go to for my wife's brother. So I will not see you all for tomorrow's Bible study. There will be something tomorrow. Not sure what it will be. That will be alive, but there'll be something for you on tomorrow and on Sunday. Maybe there's a little end times thing as well that I was planning on doing. More likely be Monday though. Anyway, guys, love you all and see you all tomorrow, maybe.
