I don't know if it's the number of what we choose but 04:21.740 --> 04:23.740 Because we had how many soul winners we had four 04:24.540 --> 04:30.860 Five six seven eight nine ten eleven twelve thirteen. We had 13 people out. So now granted 04:31.500 --> 04:33.500 No, well, we've got a good number because 04:33.740 --> 04:35.900 Only my children don't give the gospel yet 04:36.700 --> 04:37.900 and little kevin 04:38.300 --> 04:40.940 So that's still 10 soul winners. 04:40.940 --> 04:43.420 So, but it's still, I mean, I'm not complaining. 04:43.420 --> 04:43.980 It's great. 04:43.980 --> 04:45.340 Five more souls won. 04:45.340 --> 04:48.700 We're at 760, 63 for the year. 04:49.340 --> 04:51.740 Then we got all the birthdays and anniversaries coming up. 04:51.740 --> 04:55.660 Make sure you, you know, congratulate everybody on that. 04:55.660 --> 04:58.780 Then when I have the soul winning trip to Mexico City, just pray for me. 04:59.500 --> 05:00.620 The only thing I remember. 05:01.300 --> 05:05.860 about going to Mexico City after I was a young man was that the smog didn't do too well with my 05:05.860 --> 05:12.420 lungs but I have an inhaler I should be fine. You know when I was younger I had that but I 05:12.420 --> 05:18.020 haven't had that issue in a long time and then the baby shower for Marcel Wycliffe September 13th 05:18.020 --> 05:24.340 and then August 29th we just settled it so August 29th we'll have a soul winning marathon 05:25.940 --> 05:28.900 see brother Jerry or myself for the details 05:29.800 --> 05:34.520 And then one of the things, if you'll remind me or even brother, we can put it on that God 05:34.520 --> 05:38.040 resource. I think it's cool because if other people know about it and if they want to come 05:38.040 --> 05:42.920 and join, they can. Well, I know a lot of people check that. Then just pray for the 05:42.920 --> 05:48.360 expecting mothers, Christian Rogers. You're due this month, huh? Man, we'll be praying for you. 05:48.360 --> 05:55.640 And then Marcel Wickliffe and Cynthia Garcia due February of 2027. 05:56.400 --> 06:00.480 A couple of things I will ask, you know, whenever we have more kids, I just, after the service, 06:00.480 --> 06:04.320 if we can have the kids, police, children, all the children listen to me. 06:04.320 --> 06:07.440 If you can help me pick up after yourselves, that would be wonderful. 06:08.240 --> 06:12.960 Because at the end of the day, like I tell my kids in my house, you know, my daddy has to pick 06:12.960 --> 06:16.560 up after yourself because you don't pay rent or make money or do anything. The least you can do 06:16.560 --> 06:20.240 is contribute to society in some beneficial way. So. 06:21.000 --> 06:31.280 Here at the church, we don't ask anything of you other than pay attention and help us clean up after the services. And then on the back, we have the prayer request. Just keep praying for everybody. 06:31.680 --> 06:35.800 Is there any updates pastor or anybody that I need to add or take away? 06:37.620 --> 06:44.840 No. Okay. And then thank you to the freemen's for visiting us again. Pray for safe traveling mercies on the way back. 06:45.200 --> 06:48.880 And if nothing else, oh, do actually just pray for my wife. 06:48.880 --> 06:53.280 She's actually here in the building, but she's just not feeling good. 06:53.280 --> 06:54.960 She's knocked out over there in the back. 06:54.960 --> 06:59.840 So just pray for her that she just gets better from whatever food poisoning. 06:59.840 --> 07:04.000 I thought she was better this morning, but she seems to have regressed a little bit. 07:04.000 --> 07:07.680 Let's turn to our hymnals, 310, and that's why we're singing acapella, 310. 07:07.680 --> 07:10.480 But Chloe will close us out. 07:10.900 --> 07:18.100 with some piano playing after this. 310 and then we're going to be in the book of 1st Samuel 25, 07:18.100 --> 07:33.060 1st Samuel 25, 310 footprints of Jesus on the 1st. Sweetly Lord have we heard Thee calling come follow me. 07:33.700 --> 07:42.240 And we see where thy footprints falling lead us to thee. 07:42.240 --> 07:50.640 Footprints of Jesus that make the pathway glow. 07:50.640 --> 07:58.520 We will follow the steps of Jesus where e'er they go. 07:59.500 --> 08:08.620 Though they lee o'er the cold dark mountain, Seeking his sheep, 08:08.620 --> 08:17.420 Or along by Siloam's fountain, Helping the weak, 08:17.420 --> 08:25.340 Footprints of Jesus that make the pathway glow. 08:25.800 --> 08:34.440 We will follow the steps of Jesus, where'er they go, 08:34.440 --> 08:43.400 If they lead through the temple, holy, preaching the word, 08:43.400 --> 08:50.840 Poor in homes of the poor and lowly serving the low. 08:52.300 --> 09:01.100 Put prints of Jesus that make the pathway glow. 09:01.100 --> 09:09.660 We will follow the steps of Jesus, where'er they go. 09:09.660 --> 09:17.900 Then at last, when on high he sees us, our journey done. 09:18.600 --> 09:27.560 We will rest where the steps of Jesus end at His throne. 09:27.560 --> 09:36.360 Footprints of Jesus that make the pathway glow. 09:36.360 --> 09:43.720 We will follow the steps of Jesus where here they go. 09:44.400 --> 09:50.480 Alright, we'll turn our our Bibles. We'll have brother John read for us first Samuel 09:52.500 --> 09:57.080 25 verse Samuel 25 you have a Bible or do you prefer this one? This is a good one right here 10:00.300 --> 10:02.300 It's up to you. 10:02.300 --> 10:04.800 OK. 10:04.800 --> 10:06.500 I'll still leave this open for me. 10:06.500 --> 10:08.220 You can just leave it there. 10:08.220 --> 10:09.000 All right. 10:16.300 --> 10:19.160 1 Samuel 25. 10:19.160 --> 10:21.820 And Samuel died, and all the Israelites 10:21.820 --> 10:24.580 were gathered together, and lamented him, 10:24.580 --> 10:27.140 and buried him in his house at Ramah. 10:27.140 --> 10:31.540 And David arose and went down to the wilderness of Peran. 10:31.540 --> 10:35.340 And there was a man in Moen whose possessions were 10:35.340 --> 10:38.180 in Carmel, and the man was very great. 10:38.180 --> 10:41.780 And he had 3,000 sheep and 1,000 goats, 10:41.780 --> 10:43.580 and he was shearing his sheep in Carmel. 10:44.100 --> 10:50.020 Now the name of the man was Nabal, and the name of his wife Abigail, and she was a woman 10:50.020 --> 10:55.060 of good understanding and of a beautiful continent, but the man was 10:55.200 --> 10:57.680 churlish, and evil in his doings. 10:57.680 --> 10:59.920 And he was of the house of Caleb. 10:59.920 --> 11:04.080 And David heard in the wilderness that Nabal did shear his sheep. 11:04.080 --> 11:06.480 And David sent out ten young men. 11:06.480 --> 11:08.560 And David said unto the young men, 11:08.560 --> 11:12.960 Get you up to Carmel, and go to Nabal, and greet him in my name. 11:13.400 --> 11:18.360 And thus shall ye say to him that liveth in prosperity. 11:18.360 --> 11:21.640 Peace be both to thee, and peace be to thine house, 11:21.640 --> 11:24.280 and peace be unto all that thou hast. 11:24.280 --> 11:26.600 And now I have heard that thou hast sheers. 11:27.320 --> 11:31.400 Now thy shepherds, which were with us, we heard them not. 11:31.400 --> 11:34.120 Neither was their aught missing unto them, 11:34.120 --> 11:37.160 and all the while they were in Carmel. 11:37.600 --> 11:40.960 Ask thy young men and they will show thee. 11:40.960 --> 11:48.240 Wherefore let the young men find favor in thine eyes, for we come in a good day. 11:48.240 --> 11:48.740 Come in. 11:49.100 --> 11:52.460 Find favor in thine eyes, for we come in a good day. 11:52.460 --> 11:58.300 Give, I pray thee, whatsoever cometh to thine hand, unto thy servants, and to thy son David." 11:58.300 --> 12:03.900 And when David's young men came, they spoke to Nabal according to all those words in the name of 12:03.900 --> 12:09.900 David and ceased. And Nabal answered David's servants, and said, Who is David? And who is the 12:09.900 --> 12:14.180 the son of Jesse. There be many servants now a day's. 12:14.900 --> 12:17.900 that break away every man from his master. 12:18.300 --> 12:25.460 Shall I then take my bread and my water and my flesh that I have killed for my shears and give it unto 12:25.460 --> 12:32.820 Men whom I know not whence they be so David's young men turned their way and went again and came and told him all 12:32.820 --> 12:36.020 Those sayings and David said unto his men 12:36.340 --> 12:41.940 Gird ye on every man his sword and they girded on every man his sword and David also 12:42.180 --> 12:46.020 Girded on his sword and there went up after David for 12:46.300 --> 12:49.500 hundred men and two hundred abode by the stuff. 12:49.500 --> 12:53.580 Now one of the young men told Abigail, Nabal's wife, saying, 12:53.580 --> 12:57.300 Behold, David sent messengers out of the wilderness to salute 12:57.300 --> 13:01.460 our master and he rallied on them. But the men 13:01.460 --> 13:04.700 were very good unto us and we were 13:04.700 --> 13:08.180 not hurt. Neither missed we anything as long as we 13:08.180 --> 13:11.180 were conversant with them. 13:11.500 --> 13:16.380 When we were in the fields, they were a wall unto us both by night and day. 13:16.380 --> 13:19.020 All the while we were with them keeping the sheep. 13:19.020 --> 13:23.340 Now therefore know and consider what thou wilt do. 13:23.340 --> 13:27.740 For evil is determined against our master and against all his household. 13:27.740 --> 13:32.380 For he is such a son of Belial that a man cannot speak of him. 13:32.380 --> 13:36.780 Then Abigail made haste and took two hundred loaves and two bottles of wine, 13:36.780 --> 13:39.500 and five sheep ready dressed and five measures. 13:39.500 --> 13:45.140 of parched corn and in hundred clusters of raisins 200 cakes of figs and laid 13:45.140 --> 13:50.780 them on asses and she said unto her servants go on before me behold I come 13:50.780 --> 13:55.780 after you but she told not her husband Nabal and it was so as she rode on the 13:55.780 --> 14:01.740 ass that she came down by the covert of the hill and behold David and his men 14:01.740 --> 14:06.200 came down against her and she met them now David had said 14:06.300 --> 14:13.720 Surely in vain have I kept all that this fellow hath in the wilderness so that nothing was missed of all 14:14.300 --> 14:19.300 that pertained unto him, and he hath requited me evil for good. 14:19.300 --> 14:24.300 So and more also do God unto the enemies of David, 14:24.300 --> 14:29.300 if I leave of all that pertain to him by the morning light, 14:29.300 --> 14:31.300 any that pisseth against the wall. 14:31.300 --> 14:35.300 And when Abigail saw David, she hasted and lighted off the ass, 14:35.300 --> 14:39.300 and fell before David on her face, and bowed herself to the ground, 14:39.300 --> 14:42.300 ground and fell at his feet and said upon 14:42.300 --> 14:50.220 me my lord upon me let this iniquity be and let thine handmaid i pray thee speak in thine audience 14:50.220 --> 14:56.700 and hear the words of thine handmaid let not my lord i pray thee regard this man of belial even 14:56.700 --> 15:06.860 naebol for as his name is so is he naebol is his name and folly is with him but i laid but i thine 15:06.860 --> 15:07.800 handmade. 15:08.000 --> 15:14.740 Saw not the young men of the Lord whom thou did ascend now therefore my Lord as the Lord liveth 15:14.740 --> 15:17.620 And as thy soul liveth seeing the Lord 15:18.300 --> 15:24.940 have withholding thee from coming to shed blood and from avenging thyself with thine own hand, 15:24.940 --> 15:32.540 now let thine enemies and they that seek evil to my lord be as navel. And now this blessing 15:32.540 --> 15:39.420 which thine handmaid hath brought unto my lord, let it even be given unto the young men that follow 15:39.420 --> 15:46.140 my lord. I pray thee, forgive the trespasses of thine handmaid, for the lord will certainly make 15:46.300 --> 15:52.740 Lord a shore house, because my Lord fighteth the battles of the Lord, and evil hath not 15:52.740 --> 15:55.500 been found in thee all the days. 15:55.500 --> 16:01.540 Yet a man is risen to pursue thee, and to seek my soul, but the soul of my Lord shall 16:01.540 --> 16:07.900 be bound in the bundle of life with the Lord thy God, and the souls of thine enemies, them 16:07.900 --> 16:08.460 show. 16:08.800 --> 16:28.560 He sling out as out of the middle of a sling and it shall come to pass when the Lord shall have done to my Lord according to all the good that he hath spoken concerning thee and shall have appointed thee ruler over Israel that this shall be no grief unto thee nor offense of heart unto my Lord. 16:29.000 --> 16:34.800 Either that thou hast shed blood causeless, or that my Lord hath avenged himself. 16:34.800 --> 16:40.000 But when the Lord shall have dealt well with my Lord, then remember thine handmaid. 16:40.000 --> 16:47.700 And David said to Abigail, Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, which sent thee this day to meet me, and blessed be thy advice. 16:48.000 --> 16:54.320 and blessed be thou which has kept me from this day from coming to shed blood and from avenging 16:54.320 --> 17:01.680 myself with my own hand for in in very deed as the lord god of israel liveth which have kept me 17:01.680 --> 17:04.320 back from hurting thee except thou hadest 17:04.700 --> 17:12.460 hats hasted and come to meet me surely there had not been left unto Nabal by the morning light any 17:12.460 --> 17:19.500 that pitted against the wall so David received received of her hand that which she had brought 17:19.500 --> 17:25.820 him and said unto her go up in peace to thine house see i have hearkened to thy voice and have 17:25.820 --> 17:30.060 accepted thy person and abigail came to Nabal and behold 17:31.100 --> 17:38.620 He held a feast in his house like the feast of a king and Nabal's heart was merry within him for he was very drunken 17:39.180 --> 17:43.500 Wherefore she told him nothing less or more until the morning light 17:43.740 --> 17:47.260 But it came to pass in the morning when the wine was gone out of Nabal 17:47.500 --> 17:53.340 And his wife had told him these things that his heart died within him and he became as a stone 17:53.740 --> 17:58.620 And it came to pass about 10 days after that the lord smoked Nabal that he died 17:59.100 --> 18:02.020 And when David heard that Nabal was dead, he said, 18:02.020 --> 18:04.100 blessed be the Lord that hath. 18:04.300 --> 18:14.300 Pleased the cause of my reproach from the hand of Nabal and have kept his servant from evil for the Lord hath returned the wickedness of Nabal upon his own head. 18:14.300 --> 18:19.800 And David sent and communed with Abigail to take her to him to wife. 18:19.800 --> 18:25.300 And when the servants of David were come to Abigail to Carmel, they spake unto her, saying, 18:25.300 --> 18:30.260 David sent us unto thee to take thee to wife, to him to wife. 18:30.600 --> 18:36.600 and she arose and bowed herself on her face to the earth and said behold let thine handmaid be a 18:36.600 --> 18:42.680 servant to wash the feet of the servants of my lord and abigail hasted and arose and rode upon 18:42.680 --> 18:49.880 her ass with five damsels of hers that went after her and she went after the messenger of david 18:49.880 --> 18:52.840 and became his wife david also took 18:54.600 --> 19:01.720 a Hinoam of Jezreel, and they were also both of them his wives. But Saul had given 19:01.720 --> 19:09.320 Micahel his daughter, David's wife, to Palti, the son of Laish, which was of Galem. 19:14.700 --> 19:18.700 Pastor Cot will you pray for the preaching please? 19:58.400 --> 20:07.840 Amen. All right, we're there in 1st Samuel 25. The title of my sermon this afternoon is 20:09.440 --> 20:16.240 Raelin as defined by the Bible, Raelin as defined by the Bible. And you know, I just wanted to 20:16.240 --> 20:21.920 revisit this. I preached this, I think earlier this year on, I preached on Raelin specifically 20:21.920 --> 20:23.520 dealing with church discipline. 20:23.900 --> 20:29.040 And in that sermon, I went through and I covered what Rayleigh is from the Bible. 20:29.040 --> 20:33.740 But apparently, even with all that the preaching there is on Rayleigh, people still don't get 20:33.740 --> 20:34.740 it. 20:34.740 --> 20:38.560 And, you know, there's one of the things that I've seen and the reason I did is not just 20:38.560 --> 20:42.380 necessarily that I've seen other clips of other pastors that are trying to redefine 20:42.380 --> 20:47.960 this, but this is like a common theme of trying to just take any word and redefine it based 20:47.960 --> 20:51.060 on their thoughts or what the modern vernacular is versus the Bible. 20:51.500 --> 20:56.260 I mean, you take things like repent and you've got a whole group of people that believe you 20:56.260 --> 21:00.900 have to repent of your sins, even though the Bible clearly shows that repent just means 21:00.900 --> 21:01.900 a change of mind, right? 21:01.900 --> 21:07.900 And so there's all these language arguments and people want to go back to like the Greek 21:07.900 --> 21:09.600 or the Hebrew. 21:09.600 --> 21:12.500 But the point that, the thing that I want to just drive home today, and this is basically 21:12.500 --> 21:15.380 that's why I called it like review Sunday, like we're getting ready for an exam. 21:15.380 --> 21:17.100 This Sunday would be a review. 21:17.100 --> 21:19.500 is just that I wanna leave you with the idea. 21:19.500 --> 21:24.020 and the confidence that the Bible defines itself. 21:24.020 --> 21:28.420 And so it's really important for us to look at things 21:28.420 --> 21:29.620 that other people are saying, 21:29.620 --> 21:32.260 and then look at them through the lens of the Bible. 21:32.260 --> 21:35.540 And if the Bible does not line up with what the world is 21:35.540 --> 21:37.500 saying, then we are going to line up with the Bible. 21:37.500 --> 21:39.100 You know, when I was a kid, 21:39.100 --> 21:41.860 I guess maybe that's why I'm so... 21:42.600 --> 21:47.560 maybe dogmatic or faithful about this issue is when I was a kid, I remember going to school 21:48.360 --> 21:55.080 and the teachers sometimes were really dumb. The school system has just always been filled. 21:55.080 --> 22:00.040 You think about the school system and it's a bunch of young people that just came out of college and 22:00.040 --> 22:04.680 couldn't really amount to much. So they ended up going to get a teaching certificate. And that's 22:04.680 --> 22:07.680 That's how they ended up going to be a teacher. 22:08.200 --> 22:12.920 I know there's some teachers that that was their dream and they pour their mind and life and soul 22:12.920 --> 22:18.200 into it, but that's not the majority of the teachers that are in the school system, especially in the public school system. 22:18.400 --> 22:26.400 And one of the things I learned early on was that we would have these conversations with my dad, you know, at the dinner table, you know, over the weekends. 22:26.400 --> 22:31.400 And, you know, he just like any normal parent, he's like, hey, what did you learn in school or what are they teaching you? 22:31.400 --> 22:39.400 And oftentimes, I mean, this was a very regular occurrence. My dad was like, oh, your teacher's dumb. You know, that's not true. 22:39.500 --> 22:41.500 Don't listen to her. 22:41.500 --> 22:44.000 If they want to deal with anything, they can talk to me. 22:44.000 --> 22:46.660 He's like, but honestly, just keep it to yourself. 22:46.660 --> 22:48.360 You have to be in the system. 22:48.360 --> 22:49.360 Just don't learn that. 22:49.360 --> 22:50.620 If you have any questions, come see me. 22:51.000 --> 22:52.600 And you know, he would often do that. 22:52.600 --> 22:57.640 And so I guess I learned to just accept the fact that at times, even though I'm being 22:57.640 --> 23:01.320 taught something, that does not mean that that's the truth, right? 23:01.320 --> 23:05.520 It just means that somebody learned something incorrectly or they believe something correctly 23:05.520 --> 23:07.320 and that's what they're teaching you. 23:07.320 --> 23:09.800 It's kind of like also, you know, we see this everywhere, right? 23:09.800 --> 23:14.160 In politics, in medicine, in government. 23:14.160 --> 23:18.640 Oftentimes you see these things and they just present them as like as a matter of fact. 23:18.900 --> 23:21.060 when it has nothing to do with reality. 23:21.060 --> 23:23.940 Well, Rayleigh is one of those where there's a group of people... 23:24.500 --> 23:28.500 And it's not just like X and IFB, but you'll find this even in the old IFB. 23:28.500 --> 23:29.780 And this is what I was talking about. 23:29.780 --> 23:32.500 And I wanted to make this point in the morning, I just completely forgot. 23:32.500 --> 23:35.940 But you know, one of the reasons, and I'm going to tie it to bring it back to this, 23:35.940 --> 23:36.980 but I just don't want to miss this. 23:36.980 --> 23:42.420 One of the reasons that I believe that you have predators and you have false doctrine 23:42.420 --> 23:43.700 and you have all this stuff in the churches, 23:43.700 --> 23:47.220 because those churches have people that don't believe this to be true. 23:47.800 --> 23:52.740 I mean honestly if you believe the Bible you would preach against a reprobate really easy 23:52.740 --> 23:57.740 but probably the reason is because you don't agree with it or you know someone who is like 23:57.740 --> 24:00.840 that and you don't think that they're really reprobate. 24:00.840 --> 24:04.920 And I proved it by the comments that people were making like well maybe you can be restored 24:04.920 --> 24:06.480 only God will judge and stuff like that. 24:06.480 --> 24:08.960 It was the same thing with like railing right? 24:08.960 --> 24:12.360 You know what I was thinking about as I was writing this and you think about where do 24:12.360 --> 24:13.760 we get our language from? 24:14.100 --> 24:20.260 We got it from God, right? How did Adam and Eve know to have a full-fledged communication and, 24:20.260 --> 24:26.420 you know, a conversation with God in the Garden of Eden before anybody else had ever spoken any 24:26.420 --> 24:30.980 language? Because God put it in their hearts, right? So if we say that we believe 24:31.400 --> 24:36.160 in God and we say we believe in Christ and we say that we believe that Jesus is the Word, 24:36.160 --> 24:39.560 well then it doesn't really matter what the world says, this is my final authority. 24:39.560 --> 24:43.360 If we say that in the English language the King James Bible 24:43.360 --> 24:47.200 is the preserved Word of God, that God can do the impossible, 24:47.200 --> 24:49.800 the things that wouldn't make sense to us, then this is it. 24:50.300 --> 24:53.300 Otherwise, then it all falls apart, right? 24:53.300 --> 24:57.800 And so when you look at the Bible, I mean, it's it's self-defining. 24:57.800 --> 25:00.440 And so my goal today, there's other pastors who preached on this. 25:00.700 --> 25:02.580 I think it's important that we all preach on it. 25:02.580 --> 25:04.500 I have no problem being repetitive. 25:04.500 --> 25:08.400 But if you my goal today is to just point to you. 25:08.800 --> 25:13.120 this the nine verses that deal with Raylene and show you in 25:13.360 --> 25:18.880 Context that it really is about slander and lying and then I don't really care what the definitions say and yeah 25:18.880 --> 25:22.880 You know I looked up the definitions and although part of those definitions can't be to defame 25:23.520 --> 25:27.840 Oftentimes it is like insolent and all this fierce language 25:27.960 --> 25:32.800 But that's obviously not true and that's not the point I'm making but let me just make that side point 25:32.800 --> 25:36.760 I guess is the fact that you know if that was the case then you know 25:36.800 --> 25:42.560 Jesus, God, some of the prophets would be railing because they use harsh language. 25:42.560 --> 25:45.160 The Bible asks us to rebuke. 25:45.160 --> 25:50.120 If I scream at my child for destroying something, as a matter of fact, I can tell him I kid 25:50.120 --> 25:55.000 now because it's fixed and we've moved on, but my son cracked his iPad. 25:55.000 --> 25:57.840 He was playing a game and he got mad and he cracked it. 25:57.840 --> 25:59.520 He punched the screen and he broke it. 26:00.000 --> 26:01.600 I mean, I got really mad. 26:01.600 --> 26:03.000 It's an expensive piece of machinery. 26:03.000 --> 26:06.700 Like he doesn't understand the value of the time and effort. 26:06.700 --> 26:08.140 Right. And I got really mad. 26:08.140 --> 26:09.340 Does that make me a railer? 26:09.340 --> 26:11.520 Because I got in his face and I'm like, you know, 26:11.520 --> 26:14.160 I raised my voice and I made sure that he understood 26:14.160 --> 26:16.080 that this is a very serious issue 26:16.080 --> 26:17.920 and there are serious consequences to it. 26:17.920 --> 26:20.340 No, it makes me a dad who's concerned, 26:20.340 --> 26:22.640 who wants to teach his son the value of money, 26:22.640 --> 26:25.360 the value of things that he owns, right? 26:25.360 --> 26:28.000 And then right from wrong, owning up to the fact that if you- 26:28.000 --> 26:34.320 do something, you man up, and even if you're in trouble, you own up to it, right? You confess. 26:34.320 --> 26:40.000 That was the goal. Raylene is when you're like calling somebody out in your line, and 26:40.000 --> 26:43.560 I'm not going to repeat that sermon, but here in this context, let me just show you, it 26:43.560 --> 26:49.080 is about lying. And every one of those references deals with that. And honestly, I don't care 26:49.080 --> 26:52.440 what anything else says. I just care what the Bible says. And people will be like, well, 26:52.440 --> 26:54.920 that's a cop out. I don't know what to tell you. 26:55.200 --> 26:59.600 You know, I was talking to this guy right now when we were so in it, and he's like, 26:59.600 --> 27:03.040 well, here's what I think. And I told him straight up, I said, I don't care what you think. 27:03.840 --> 27:06.400 And he kept getting madder. He's like, well, let me give you an example. 27:07.040 --> 27:10.880 I was like, I don't really care about your examples. And then he would give me the example. 27:10.880 --> 27:13.520 He still wanted it. You know, he loved the sound of his voice. And when he finished his example, 27:13.520 --> 27:16.240 I said, you know what? Guy's not interested in your examples. 27:16.600 --> 27:19.160 Why does God allow these bad things to happen? 27:19.160 --> 27:22.200 I said, look, God doesn't owe you an answer, 27:22.200 --> 27:24.040 and I'm not interested in your answers, 27:24.040 --> 27:26.720 and I'm not interested in answering questions that are stupid, 27:26.720 --> 27:29.040 because all I care about is what the Bible says. 27:29.040 --> 27:33.040 I don't care about your hypotheticals, about your what-ifs. 27:33.040 --> 27:35.080 What I care about is what's clear in Scripture. 27:35.080 --> 27:37.200 So let's go there to 1 Samuel 22. 27:37.200 --> 27:41.000 Just go back a couple of chapters, because I think this is really interesting 27:41.000 --> 27:43.600 as we start this thing. 27:43.600 --> 27:44.100 And 27:44.900 --> 27:49.540 You know right here to start it off the story of Nabal is 27:50.500 --> 27:56.640 Interesting because it's sandwiched between 1st Samuel 24 and 1st Samuel 26 27:56.860 --> 28:02.140 So we're if we read 1st Samuel 25. This is the story of Nabal. Nabal rails 28:03.020 --> 28:04.900 against David 28:05.000 --> 28:08.000 by flinging a false accusation against David. 28:08.000 --> 28:10.120 The Bible says he was churlish, right? 28:10.120 --> 28:11.600 He was a son of Belial. 28:11.600 --> 28:14.520 He reproached David. 28:14.520 --> 28:17.760 And so we've got to put things in perspective. 28:17.760 --> 28:22.040 Why would God, and I don't think that anything's incidental, coincidental, right? 28:22.040 --> 28:25.200 Like, you know, the old admi would say, but I really believe that. 28:25.200 --> 28:31.480 And in those first, in those two chapters, verse 20, I mean, chapter 24 and chapter 26, 28:31.800 --> 28:37.080 we see that David does not touch the Lord's anointed. Now I had you turn to 1 Samuel 22, 28:37.080 --> 28:39.160 but I just want to point this out as we're setting this up, right? 28:40.040 --> 28:46.280 And in both of those chapters, David has them in the crosshairs. The Lord has delivered Saul 28:46.280 --> 28:53.000 into his hand and David is like, I will not, and nobody will touch the Lord's anointed, right? 28:53.000 --> 28:54.600 So I just want to point that, right? So... 28:56.000 --> 28:59.060 And then I had a conversation with Grok about, you know, 28:59.060 --> 29:01.380 rail throughout history versus the Bible. 29:01.380 --> 29:02.680 And he's giving me this long thing. 29:02.680 --> 29:05.720 But I think it's interesting also, it says in short, 29:05.720 --> 29:07.720 this is the finality of my conversation. 29:07.720 --> 29:09.680 It says dictionaries of the era, 29:09.680 --> 29:12.880 an historical reconstruction of the 16th, 17th century. 29:12.880 --> 29:17.080 You know, this is when 1611 is the King James. 29:17.300 --> 29:22.500 Define rail as railing is harsh, insolent, reproachful, or abusive speech scoffing. 29:22.500 --> 29:28.180 It commonly appears in context of personal attack, invective, or defamation, which defamation 29:28.180 --> 29:29.180 is lying, right? 29:29.180 --> 29:33.500 It's slandering someone, including some that involve lying or false charges. 29:33.500 --> 29:38.180 And biblical KJV usage of railing or reviling can carry connotations of unjust or blasphemous 29:38.180 --> 29:39.180 accusation. 29:39.180 --> 29:39.680 accusation. 29:40.100 --> 29:45.660 However, it is not defined or restricted to lying, slander, defaming. 29:45.660 --> 29:51.140 Harsh language alone suffices, and some literary uses explicitly separate it from slander. 29:51.140 --> 29:54.460 So it almost sounds like it's going against what I'm saying, right? 29:54.460 --> 29:55.460 And it's true. 29:55.460 --> 29:58.620 Like, just look up the word, railing. 29:58.620 --> 30:02.260 But here's the key, and we learned this when we were about eight years old, and I'll point 30:02.260 --> 30:03.480 this out. 30:03.480 --> 30:06.080 The inference of falsehood is contextual. 30:06.300 --> 30:08.420 rather than inherit to the word. 30:08.420 --> 30:10.980 Isn't that the truth about the way we use language? 30:10.980 --> 30:13.580 You know, they even have like, they'll teach a speech. 30:13.580 --> 30:16.380 They're like, it's the way you deliver it, right? 30:16.380 --> 30:18.060 I mean, I could say like, 30:18.060 --> 30:20.220 hey, you know, 30:20.220 --> 30:21.900 hey Kevin, 30:21.900 --> 30:24.300 it's nice to see you sober this morning. 30:24.300 --> 30:25.900 Or this afternoon, right? 30:25.900 --> 30:28.580 Or be like, man Kevin, it's nice to see you in church 30:28.580 --> 30:30.020 and sober this morning, 30:30.020 --> 30:31.100 and you know, this afternoon. 30:31.300 --> 30:36.500 I would be in for like I'm leaving the context is the way that I'm delivering it right and I could give you more or less 30:36.820 --> 30:41.060 And we learned this right around age eight who remembers doing this exercise 30:41.620 --> 30:45.460 Where we learn context clues where the their hints in the surrounding text 30:46.020 --> 30:51.540 Such as definitions synonyms or examples that can figure out the meaning of a new or tricky word without using a dictionary 30:51.700 --> 30:53.220 Who had remember the teachers would say hey 30:53.220 --> 30:57.940 Can you read this sentence and then tell me what you think this word means whoever did that in school? 30:58.300 --> 30:59.800 You don't remember doing that? Remember? 30:59.800 --> 31:02.940 And then you're like, well, based on what I'm reading, I think this word means... 31:02.940 --> 31:04.440 You know, you didn't have the definition. 31:04.440 --> 31:06.440 They're teaching you, like, harder words. 31:06.440 --> 31:08.440 But before they would teach you the hard word, 31:08.440 --> 31:11.240 they would teach you how to decipher the meaning of the word, 31:11.240 --> 31:13.480 because words have different meanings. 31:13.480 --> 31:15.280 I mean, that's just like a fact of life. 31:15.280 --> 31:18.680 As a matter of fact, it's funny because I didn't read this here, but... 31:18.900 --> 31:23.380 As part of the whole conversation I had with Gaurak about railing, it's like, oh yeah, 31:23.380 --> 31:28.620 but you're talking about railing like this type of railing, not the rail that you hold 31:28.620 --> 31:29.780 onto in your house. 31:29.780 --> 31:32.300 Obviously, this is a big difference, right? 31:32.300 --> 31:35.180 Because one word can just have so many different meanings, right? 31:35.180 --> 31:40.740 B-E-A-A-R is a bear, but I can also bear a lot of things, and then I could B-A-R-E, 31:40.740 --> 31:43.320 like be bare, and then it becomes this whole thing. 31:43.320 --> 31:45.020 So that's why we need to read things in context. 31:45.500 --> 31:59.500 Right? So types of context clues is like definition. The author directly states the meaning of the word using phrases like is defined as or punctuation like commas or dashes synonyms. A nearby word has a very similar meaning. 31:59.900 --> 32:03.500 to help you understand the unknown word. Doesn't the Bible do that? Like all these examples the 32:03.500 --> 32:09.100 Bible does, right? Antonym, a nearby word. I mean, this is the book of Proverbs that has the opposite 32:09.100 --> 32:14.540 meaning showing a contrast to help you understand or guess the word that you're dealing with, 32:14.540 --> 32:19.660 right? Or an example, the text gives instances of items of the unfamiliar word using phrases like 32:19.660 --> 32:25.980 such or for example. So in 1 Samuel 22, you're then in verse 13 and it says, and Saul said unto him, 32:26.600 --> 32:31.320 Why have you conspired against me? He's talking to one of the priests, the himelech, 32:31.320 --> 32:37.880 and this is when Saul is chasing and he finds out that David got the Goliath's sword and he ate the 32:37.880 --> 32:43.160 shebrey, right? And thou and the son of Jesse and that thou hast given him bread and a sword 32:43.160 --> 32:49.240 and has inquired of God for him that he should rise against me to lie in wait as at this day. 32:49.900 --> 32:56.660 Then Ahimelech answered the king and said, And who is so faithful among all thy servants 32:56.660 --> 33:02.900 as David, which is the king's son-in-law, and goeth at thy bidding, and is honorable 33:02.900 --> 33:03.620 in thine house? 33:04.300 --> 33:11.340 You say what's the point of putting this out? Well, what was the accusation that was railed at David? 33:11.740 --> 33:18.620 That he was, you know, a bad servant, right? That servants left their people and that's what it says. It says hey David 33:19.020 --> 33:26.300 You know, it's like anybody else. Don't servants leave their masters all the time. Basically, they're rebellious and then the bible tells us that's why 33:26.940 --> 33:29.340 You know, Nabal railed against 33:30.060 --> 33:30.800 David 33:30.900 --> 33:35.860 Now go to 1 Samuel 24, just go over, and right there in verse 4, we're only going to read 33:35.860 --> 33:37.940 a couple of verses from each of these. 33:37.940 --> 33:38.940 It says, 33:38.940 --> 33:42.260 And the men of David said unto him, Behold, the day of which the Lord said unto thee, 33:42.260 --> 33:46.820 Behold, I will deliver thine enemy into thy hand, that thou mayest do to him as it shall 33:46.820 --> 33:48.420 seem good unto thee. 33:48.420 --> 33:52.460 Then David arose and cut off the skirt of Saul's robe privily, and it came to pass afterward 33:52.460 --> 33:53.200 David. 33:53.500 --> 33:58.920 David's heart smote him because he had cut off Saul's skirt and he said unto his men 33:58.920 --> 34:02.000 The Lord forbid that I should do this thing unto my master 34:02.060 --> 34:07.420 The Lord's anointed to stretch forth mine hand against him seeing he is the anointed of the Lord 34:07.680 --> 34:11.880 So David stayed a servant with these words and suffered them not to rise against Saul 34:12.040 --> 34:17.860 But Saul rose up out of the cave and went on his way and I like to point this out because what's David known for? 34:17.860 --> 34:20.840 What's one of the things that David's famous for why is Saul mad at him? 34:21.300 --> 34:23.800 because there was a song written about him, right? 34:23.800 --> 34:27.800 David slew his 10,000s, David his thousands. 34:27.800 --> 34:31.200 And so people are gossiping even then, you know, 34:31.200 --> 34:33.700 and they're making songs and they're telling stories. 34:33.700 --> 34:36.300 There's no social media, but David's pretty popular 34:36.300 --> 34:38.700 that the things that he does are standing out 34:38.700 --> 34:40.200 and people are talking about it. 34:40.200 --> 34:43.800 So you think that his soldiers who wanted to take Saul out 34:43.800 --> 34:45.900 in defense of David aren't talking to the other soldiers 34:45.900 --> 34:48.600 and like, hey, David's like, doesn't want us to touch him. 34:48.900 --> 34:52.020 He's not King David at the time. 34:52.020 --> 34:56.220 Go to 1 Samuel 26, now this is the other chapter. 34:56.220 --> 34:58.180 And in verse 7 it says, 34:58.180 --> 35:01.580 So David and Abishah came to the people by night, 35:01.580 --> 35:04.060 And behold, Saul lay sleeping with the trench, 35:04.060 --> 35:07.060 And his spirit stuck in the ground at his bolster. 35:07.400 --> 35:12.600 But Abner and the people lay around about him, then said Abishai to David, 35:12.600 --> 35:17.880 God hath delivered thine enemy into thy hand this day. Now therefore let me smite him, 35:17.880 --> 35:25.160 I pray thee, with a spear even to the earth at once, and I will not smite him the second time. 35:25.160 --> 35:29.800 He says, hey, I'll kill him in one blow. I got you, David. Right? 35:30.200 --> 35:32.520 And then let's go to verse 9, it says, 35:32.520 --> 35:34.360 and David said to Abishai, 35:34.360 --> 35:35.960 destroy him not, 35:35.960 --> 35:37.400 for who can stretch forth his hand 35:37.400 --> 35:40.280 against the Lord's anointed and be guiltless? 35:40.280 --> 35:42.920 David said, furthermore, as the Lord liveth, 35:42.920 --> 35:44.440 the Lord shall smite him, 35:44.440 --> 35:46.200 or his day shall come to die, 35:46.200 --> 35:48.200 or he shall descend into battle and perish. 35:48.600 --> 35:52.360 The Lord forbid that I should stretch forth mine hand against the Lord's anointed, 35:52.360 --> 35:58.440 but I pray thee, take thou now the spear that is at his bolster and the cruise of water and let us go.' 35:58.440 --> 36:03.640 So David took the spear and the cruise of water from Saul's bolster and they got them away and no 36:03.640 --> 36:09.560 man saw it nor knew it, neither awaked, for they were all asleep because a deep sleep from the Lord 36:09.560 --> 36:11.480 was falling upon them." So both times... 36:12.100 --> 36:18.460 David has Saul in his crosshairs and he spares them because he's the Lord's anointed and because he's loyal 36:18.660 --> 36:25.540 So a himalek wasn't lying, but Nabal says hey, this guy is just a rebellious punk. Like who am I to David? 36:25.540 --> 36:31.700 Who's this guy that you want me to deal with? So let's go to first Samuel 25. Now, let's just look at a couple of verses 36:32.500 --> 36:36.260 By the way, all the references today, I'm just going to give you all nine references. 36:36.260 --> 36:39.780 We're going to go through examples and those are my points. I don't even have points for you today. 36:39.780 --> 36:44.580 I'm just, we're just going to knock these things out and that's it. So first Samuel 25 right there 36:44.580 --> 36:50.580 verse 10 says, enable answer David's servant that said, who is David and who is the son of Jesse? 36:50.580 --> 36:53.620 Which I, you know, I mentioned that in my previous sermon. I mentioned again, 36:53.620 --> 36:58.900 that's interesting, right? Obviously, why would you be so specific if you didn't know who he was? 36:59.500 --> 37:04.060 Who is the son of Jesse? Like Jesse has a bunch of kids. Remember when they're pagan like David's 37:04.060 --> 37:08.060 not even there he's like do you have another son? Do you have another son? Remember that? And he 37:08.060 --> 37:14.620 says there be many servants now a day that break away even away every man from his master shall I 37:14.620 --> 37:19.100 then take my bread and my water and my flesh that I've killed for my sheers and give it unto 37:19.580 --> 37:22.380 uh give it unto men whom I know not whence they be. 37:23.400 --> 37:25.200 But he knows, I mean, that's the whole point, right? 37:25.200 --> 37:25.960 He's lying. 37:25.960 --> 37:27.480 It's evident that he's lying. 37:27.480 --> 37:30.520 So David's young men turned their way and went again 37:30.520 --> 37:32.280 and came and told him all those sayings. 37:32.280 --> 37:33.600 And David said unto his men, 37:33.600 --> 37:35.680 gird ye up every man's sword. 37:35.680 --> 37:37.800 And they girded on every man his sword. 37:37.800 --> 37:39.960 David also girded on his sword. 37:39.960 --> 37:42.680 And there went up after David about 400 men 37:42.680 --> 37:44.040 and 200 abode by the stuff. 37:44.040 --> 37:47.400 But one of the young men told Abigail, Nabal's wife, 37:47.400 --> 37:49.760 saying, behold, David sent messengers out of the wilderness 37:49.760 --> 37:51.200 to salute our master. 37:51.400 --> 37:53.800 And he what? And he railed on them. 37:53.800 --> 37:56.200 Well, if we follow the context of the story, 37:56.200 --> 37:59.600 the only other thing we can reference is the fact that he said these things. 37:59.600 --> 38:04.300 So when he saw him out his railing, he's saying lies about David. 38:04.300 --> 38:06.900 He's like, who's this son of Jesse? Who's this guy? 38:06.900 --> 38:10.000 I mean, should I be impressed that he left his master? 38:10.000 --> 38:12.100 Don't people leave it? Is any of that true? 38:12.100 --> 38:15.000 It isn't. You know, I mean, it's a clear lie. 38:15.200 --> 38:18.840 And we in the context of David's character, it's a bigger lie. 38:18.840 --> 38:23.720 It's a bigger slander because David is known for being loyal to the bitter end. 38:24.500 --> 38:28.180 I mean, he's so loyal that he ran away, like he's run away. 38:28.180 --> 38:30.280 He's not gonna take Saul out. 38:30.280 --> 38:39.220 Saul gets taken out by basically committing suicide when he went to the witch at Endor. 38:39.220 --> 38:45.980 And so Samuel's like, hey, you've disturbed me and you'll be with me tomorrow. 38:45.980 --> 38:46.980 Go to 2 Chronicles 32. 38:46.980 --> 38:49.060 We're gonna go in order here. 38:49.600 --> 38:53.040 You'll see me skipping around. I've got a lot of notes. 38:54.200 --> 38:57.720 I don't know if I'm going to cover it all, but we'll do what we can. 39:00.000 --> 39:01.000 And uh... 39:04.000 --> 39:06.000 Reader's Second Chronicles 32. 39:07.680 --> 39:10.320 Let me make sure I'm just, I've got all my notes correct. Okay, good. 39:11.520 --> 39:15.200 We've got this story. This is one of my favorite stories in the Bible. 39:15.840 --> 39:19.600 King Hezekiah, he's going up against, you know, this 39:20.400 --> 39:25.120 Sennacherib, the king of Assyria, and it's a pretty stressful situation. 39:25.680 --> 39:30.720 And this guy's really pompous and he's like, hey, I've taken out all these other nations and their gods. 39:31.400 --> 39:33.900 Of course, he's saying he makes the same comparison. 39:33.900 --> 39:36.960 If I did that to them, why couldn't I do it to your God? 39:36.960 --> 39:38.540 Obviously, we know that that's... 39:38.540 --> 39:41.040 It doesn't matter if they know or they don't know. 39:41.040 --> 39:42.800 Look, when people tell us, 39:42.800 --> 39:44.980 well, you have to believe in God 39:44.980 --> 39:46.340 and I don't believe in your God. 39:46.340 --> 39:47.280 Well, that's your problem. 39:47.280 --> 39:48.120 God is God. 39:48.120 --> 39:48.940 He's real. 39:48.940 --> 39:49.780 He exists. 39:49.780 --> 39:50.620 He's truth. 39:50.620 --> 39:51.800 He is the absolute... 39:51.900 --> 39:55.980 like foundation of everything, whether you agree with it or not, doesn't matter. You're still, 39:55.980 --> 39:59.500 if you believe you're going to heaven, if you don't, you're going to hell. That's pretty simple, 39:59.500 --> 40:06.140 right? Like if you reject the Lord Jesus Christ, hell is your final destination, you know, that's 40:06.140 --> 40:10.860 it. Go to second Chronicles 32, right there, verse 10, the Bible says, Thus saith Sennachery of king 40:10.860 --> 40:17.420 of Aziriyah, whereon do you trust that ye abided the siege in Jerusalem, doth not Hezekiah persuade 40:17.900 --> 40:24.520 You to give over yourselves to die by famine and by thirst saying the Lord our God shall deliver us out of the hand of the king of Assyria 40:24.860 --> 40:29.020 Hath not the same has a kya taken away his high places and his altars and 40:29.260 --> 40:33.700 Commanded Judah and Jerusalem saying you shall worship before one altar and burn incense upon it 40:34.380 --> 40:36.220 know ye 40:36.220 --> 40:41.980 Know ye not what I and my fathers have done unto all the people of other lands where the gods of the 40:42.400 --> 40:48.240 of the nations of those lands any ways able to deliver their lands out of mine hand? 40:48.240 --> 40:53.120 Who was there among all the gods of those nations that my fathers utterly destroyed, 40:53.120 --> 40:57.760 that could deliver his people out of mine hand, that your God should be able to deliver you out 40:57.760 --> 41:03.120 of mine hand? Now therefore, let not Hezekiah deceive you. So what does he say? He's saying 41:03.120 --> 41:04.640 that what he's saying is true. 41:05.200 --> 41:10.960 Here's the context, and he's saying Hezekiah is deceptive, but we know that obviously Hezekiah is serving the Lord. 41:10.960 --> 41:14.640 So Hezekiah is telling the truth, and this guy is the liar, right? 41:14.640 --> 41:18.880 This is what he's saying. He's saying, I'm telling you the truth, you guys believe a lie. 41:18.880 --> 41:22.640 Then that means that the opposite is true, right? If we know that we believe the truth, 41:22.640 --> 41:26.240 and somebody's telling me that they are telling me the truth, actually what they're telling me is a lie. 41:26.240 --> 41:29.840 It's pretty simple. It says, now therefore let not Hezekiah deceive you. 41:30.100 --> 41:36.340 nor persuade you on this matter, neither yet believe him, for no god of any nation or any kingdom 41:36.340 --> 41:41.060 was able to deliver his people out of my hand, and out of the hand of my fathers. How much less shall 41:41.060 --> 41:46.020 your God deliver you out of my hand? And his servants spake yet more against the Lord God, 41:46.020 --> 41:48.340 and against his servants Hezekiah." So, so far 41:50.800 --> 41:55.800 we see that he's talking and they're telling him, 41:56.600 --> 41:58.240 hey, don't, remember they're like, 41:58.240 --> 41:59.760 don't talk to him in their language 41:59.760 --> 42:00.600 because you're talking to us. 42:00.600 --> 42:02.640 And he's like, no, I want to talk to your people 42:02.640 --> 42:03.880 and scare your people. 42:03.880 --> 42:05.640 Say if somebody just overpowered me and I'm like, 42:05.640 --> 42:07.360 hey, just deal with me. 42:07.360 --> 42:09.520 And he's like, no, I want to deal with your congregation. 42:09.520 --> 42:10.880 You know, he's holding me at gunpoint or something. 42:10.880 --> 42:11.720 I don't know. 42:11.720 --> 42:14.240 It's the only example I can think of in modern day 42:14.240 --> 42:16.080 that would even make sense. 42:16.080 --> 42:18.240 But right there in verse 17 says he wrote. 42:18.600 --> 42:20.300 But here's what's interesting. 42:20.300 --> 42:23.400 If you're writing a letter, you're not screaming at someone. 42:23.800 --> 42:27.960 You know, it's not like they're writing emails where people, you know, the only way they, 42:27.960 --> 42:31.880 it's not modern where like nowadays if somebody writes everything in all caps, 42:31.880 --> 42:36.520 that means they're screaming, right? They don't have texting. They don't have like any of the 42:36.520 --> 42:40.600 stuff. But right here he says he wrote also letters to rail on the Lord God of Israel 42:40.600 --> 42:44.760 and to speak against them saying as the gods of the nations of other lands have not delivered 42:44.760 --> 42:49.400 their people out of mine hand, social not the God of Hezekiah deliver his people out of mine hand. 42:49.800 --> 42:58.200 Then they cried with a loud voice in the Jews' speech unto the people of Jerusalem that were on the wall to affright them and to trouble them, that they might take the city. 42:58.200 --> 43:04.440 And they spake against God of Jerusalem as against the gods of the people of the earth, which were the work of the hand of man. 43:04.440 --> 43:09.800 And for this cause Hezekiah the king and the prophet Isaiah the son of Amos prayed and cried to heaven. 43:10.200 --> 43:17.720 Now the only difference between what I preached earlier this year and this is I'm just only focused on this specific word with a specific definition 43:18.200 --> 43:21.480 Whereas if you go back because I went to back to listen and by the way 43:22.440 --> 43:25.080 If I was wrong or if I felt like I was wrong, I'd correct it 43:25.480 --> 43:28.520 Number one, I went back because I'm like this is an actual issue 43:28.760 --> 43:31.960 I want to make sure that what I said was right. I went back and listened to my own sermon 43:32.520 --> 43:34.200 number one and number two is 43:34.200 --> 43:40.200 In that sermon, my whole purpose was I was dealing with 1 Corinthians 5, like how do we recognize, 43:40.200 --> 43:46.200 which is also very important to the point I'm making today, is if Rayleigh's just mean words, 43:46.200 --> 43:50.200 well then how do I invoke church discipline? 43:50.200 --> 43:56.000 Because in that sermon I said that it's really like this violence against God and authority. 43:56.200 --> 44:01.640 And it is, right? If you're lying specifically about doctrine, well what it is is that you're 44:01.640 --> 44:07.400 going against the authority of God, right? It's not just like you got caught with like your hand in 44:07.400 --> 44:12.520 the cookie jar and you're like, oops, you know, I'm not holding this cookie. Who's ever had a kid had a- 44:12.900 --> 44:14.660 They're holding a cookie and you're like, 44:14.660 --> 44:16.360 did you grab the cookie like I told you not to? 44:16.360 --> 44:17.200 And they're like, no. 44:17.200 --> 44:18.040 And they're like holding the cookie. 44:18.040 --> 44:20.120 You're like, that's not the type of line. 44:20.120 --> 44:21.840 This is the line that, you know, 44:21.840 --> 44:24.220 it's against the authority against God. 44:24.220 --> 44:26.060 You know, this guy is railing on the Lord. 44:26.060 --> 44:27.940 He's lying about the Lord Jesus Christ. 44:27.940 --> 44:29.660 He's lying about God. 44:29.660 --> 44:32.100 But go to Isaiah 37, I'll prove it to you 44:32.100 --> 44:34.940 from another instance of the same story. 44:34.940 --> 44:36.260 And this is really important 44:36.260 --> 44:39.060 because one of the arguments that was made was, 44:40.000 --> 44:42.320 You know, at first I actually thought it was interesting. 44:42.320 --> 44:45.440 The pastor that made the statement got up there and said, 44:45.440 --> 44:47.520 hey, I was corrected on a sermon that I preached. 44:47.520 --> 44:48.400 I was like, oh, that's good. 44:48.400 --> 44:50.040 You know, he's accepting correction. 44:50.040 --> 44:54.720 And then only to double down on the fact that he still was right. 44:54.720 --> 44:58.760 He's like, you know, it's true that Raylene in the Bible 44:58.760 --> 44:59.880 always references lying. 44:59.880 --> 45:01.600 He said this in context. 45:01.600 --> 45:02.840 I'm paraphrasing. 45:02.840 --> 45:05.160 He's like, but I still believe that, you know, 45:05.160 --> 45:07.080 when you rail, it could be true. 45:07.080 --> 45:07.760 Wait a minute. 45:08.100 --> 45:11.860 It doesn't really matter what you believe. It doesn't matter what the world says. 45:11.860 --> 45:15.700 If it's true in the Bible, then that's all I care about. That's all I'm concerned about. 45:16.260 --> 45:20.980 Why would I sit here and try to figure the rest out? And if you're going to do that as an exercise 45:20.980 --> 45:26.740 for your own personal edification and your education, that's fine. But why would I preach 45:26.740 --> 45:30.420 it and then double down on it to confuse the congregation? 45:31.000 --> 45:34.520 How the hell am I supposed to kick somebody out of church 45:34.520 --> 45:38.760 if I don't know what the definition is to kick you out of church? 45:38.760 --> 45:40.240 Not that I want to kick anybody out of church, 45:40.240 --> 45:43.000 but if somebody's doing something bad that the Bible has commanded me, 45:43.000 --> 45:44.560 I'm the pastor of this church, 45:44.560 --> 45:46.480 and God's given me a command that says, 45:46.480 --> 45:50.520 if people break certain commands, like these things in the Bible, 45:50.520 --> 45:53.200 you have to invoke church discipline. 45:53.200 --> 45:56.320 And part of it is either they repent or you've got to kick them out. 45:57.000 --> 46:03.160 So I would think it would have to be pretty clear, otherwise I'm just being arbitrary. 46:03.160 --> 46:08.040 And I can't be arbitrary because God doesn't want me to be arbitrary because He's not arbitrary. 46:08.040 --> 46:13.200 Go to Isaiah 37 and it's like, oh well, you know, you called so and so a dumbass, so I 46:13.200 --> 46:15.600 guess I'm kicking you out of church. 46:15.600 --> 46:20.680 I mean, that's literally how they're defining the definition, right? 46:20.680 --> 46:24.680 Or you know, you said they were of their father, their devil, so I'm kicking you out of church. 46:25.300 --> 46:30.500 No, it has to be a very, like there has to be a specific protocol, right, for the thing. 46:30.500 --> 46:33.780 Go to Isaiah 37, and you're there in verse 17. 46:34.340 --> 46:37.380 The Bible says there, did I not turn on the timer? 46:37.380 --> 46:38.740 Well, you guys are in for a long while. 46:39.380 --> 46:40.660 I didn't turn on the timer. 46:40.660 --> 46:42.020 It says, verse 17, it says, 46:42.020 --> 46:44.500 Incline thine ear, O Lord, and hear. 46:45.060 --> 46:49.060 Open thine eyes, O Lord, and see, and hear all the words of Sennacherib. 46:49.060 --> 46:50.580 So we're in the same story. 46:50.580 --> 46:52.580 It's just told from, you know, in the book of Isaiah. 46:53.000 --> 46:55.400 which he had sent to reproach the living God. 46:55.400 --> 47:00.520 Of a truth, Lord, the king of Assyria have laid waste all the nations and their countries, 47:00.520 --> 47:02.600 and have cast their gods into the fire. 47:02.600 --> 47:05.960 For they were no gods, but the work of men's hands, wood and stone. 47:05.960 --> 47:07.000 Therefore they have destroyed them." 47:07.000 --> 47:10.440 It's interesting Isaiah is even more honest than the people that are trying to define this. 47:10.440 --> 47:12.360 He's like, hey, this guy's not lying. 47:12.360 --> 47:15.160 They really have destroyed, but these are all false gods. 47:15.160 --> 47:18.440 Now therefore, O Lord our God, save us from his hand, 47:18.440 --> 47:20.920 that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that thou art the Lord. 47:21.000 --> 47:25.680 even thou only. Then Isaiah the son of Amos sent unto Hezekiah, saying, Thus saith the 47:25.680 --> 47:30.440 Lord God of Israel, whereas thou hast prayed to me against Sennacherib king of Assyria. 47:32.400 --> 47:36.040 This is the word which the Lord hath spoken concerning him, 47:36.040 --> 47:39.240 the virgin, the daughter of Zion, hath despised thee, 47:39.240 --> 47:40.800 and laughed thee to scorn, 47:40.800 --> 47:42.520 and the daughter of Jerusalem hath shaken the head of thee, 47:42.520 --> 47:45.560 whom thou hast reproached, and blasphemed, 47:45.560 --> 47:47.240 and against whom thou hast exalted thy voice, 47:47.240 --> 47:49.840 and lifted up thine eyes on high, 47:49.840 --> 47:52.440 even against the Holy One of Israel." 47:52.440 --> 47:55.440 So he said, hey, they reproached. 47:55.800 --> 48:00.200 And that word reproach, you know, it's like put to shame, but also it means to like blame sometimes. 48:00.840 --> 48:05.320 And blaspheme, which is to, you know, go against the Lord Jesus Christ, right? 48:05.320 --> 48:11.400 And what is the reproach and the blaspheme? That the king of Assyria says, hey, I'm like God. 48:12.400 --> 48:15.360 I've taken out all these other gods. 48:15.360 --> 48:20.480 What makes you think your God could take out me when I've already proven the fact? 48:20.480 --> 48:24.200 And Isaiah says to the Lord, he's like, yeah, this guy's not lying that he's taken out of 48:24.200 --> 48:28.600 the gods, but he doesn't realize that he's dealing with the ever living God, not lower 48:28.600 --> 48:30.320 G gods. 48:30.320 --> 48:32.880 That's the slander. 48:32.880 --> 48:35.320 If anybody says that they know more than God, if it... 48:35.600 --> 48:41.980 That's literally what I mean isn't that why Lucifer got kicked out of heaven like because he said he's like the most high is that true 48:42.320 --> 48:46.040 Absolutely not that he wanted to be in place of the most high no, it's not true anytime 48:46.040 --> 48:48.040 I mean if you think about it in in 48:48.760 --> 48:54.480 In general a lot of our sins can can be boiled down to some basic things and they spread out right it 48:54.620 --> 48:59.420 We're lying to ourselves, and we're being rebellious when we go against God in a lot of ways right? 48:59.900 --> 49:03.900 That's why we're so hard on some of these like unnatural sins 49:04.220 --> 49:09.780 Because the unnatural sin is actually like a blasphemy and a slander against Lord right to be a reprobate 49:09.820 --> 49:13.900 You're basically saying God you got it wrong, and I'm right I 49:14.500 --> 49:19.620 Know you said it's a man and a woman, but I'm telling you it's man and man or woman a woman. That's a lie 49:20.500 --> 49:22.340 And isn't that what we're dealing with today? 49:22.340 --> 49:23.500 People are just going around lying. 49:23.500 --> 49:25.820 They're like, hey, you're misgendering me. 49:25.820 --> 49:26.500 That's a lie. 49:26.500 --> 49:28.460 There's no such thing as a misgendering. 49:28.460 --> 49:33.500 Hey, you're not using my pronouns because that's a lie. 49:33.500 --> 49:38.380 Hey, I'm a woman even though I have the chromosomes of a man. 49:38.380 --> 49:39.460 That's a lie. 49:39.460 --> 49:40.300 I don't know. 49:40.300 --> 49:41.820 And it's against the Lord. 49:41.820 --> 49:43.300 It's railing. 49:43.300 --> 49:46.180 Go over to Mark 15. 49:46.180 --> 49:47.700 And I wanted to stick to just like. 49:47.800 --> 49:54.300 only the Bible on the sermon just so that we could just show over and over again that in context this is it. 50:02.700 --> 50:04.500 I don't know why I brought all my notes. 50:04.500 --> 50:06.300 I think I covered everything here. 50:09.300 --> 50:11.900 But I mean, if you see, isn't it context 50:11.900 --> 50:16.220 that ultimately determines the meaning of what we're reading? 50:16.220 --> 50:17.900 And I mean, that should always be the case. 50:17.900 --> 50:19.940 This warning, I gave context. 50:19.940 --> 50:22.460 I said, if we had a righteous government, 50:22.460 --> 50:26.620 they would impeach our president and rightfully put him to death. 50:27.400 --> 50:30.960 You know, I've got, especially in that sense, you got to put some context, right? 50:30.960 --> 50:34.600 Because people would be like, oh, you know, this guy's threatening to do this, the president 50:34.600 --> 50:35.600 send the secret service. 50:35.600 --> 50:37.840 No, I gave you the context. 50:37.840 --> 50:40.120 We're not, I'm not a righteous government. 50:40.120 --> 50:41.640 I'm not a vigilante. 50:41.640 --> 50:44.160 If we had a righteous government, these things would be done. 50:44.160 --> 50:45.160 We don't. 50:45.160 --> 50:46.160 So you know what? 50:46.160 --> 50:46.500 It's a good thing. 50:46.600 --> 50:51.880 I have to submit to the fact that Trump is my president and whatever Trump throws down the line 50:51.880 --> 50:55.800 as long as it doesn't go against my, you know, stopping me from soul winning and preaching the 50:55.800 --> 51:00.520 word of God, we have to do. You say, well, I don't want to obey Trump. Well, then you're actually 51:00.520 --> 51:06.040 disobeying the Lord because God said that there's, you know, powers that be and you have to obey them 51:06.040 --> 51:11.560 until you can't obey them. And usually it's the very extreme of your spiritual stance, right? 51:12.100 --> 51:15.060 If it goes against the things that God's asked you not to do within of course 51:15.420 --> 51:19.920 But those are far too between like nobody's rock knocking at my house and be like you can't go so anything 51:19.920 --> 51:21.100 You can't preach the Word of God 51:21.100 --> 51:26.720 It's more like you need to pay more taxes and your gas prices have gone up and we're going to war with Iran 51:27.140 --> 51:31.580 And you know, I mean I'm not for it, but that's just what that's the government's doing. I have to do it 51:32.140 --> 51:37.460 Go to mark 15 right there in verse 29. This is the one that was like brought up 51:38.300 --> 51:42.080 that, you know, they say was true, but in verse 29, or he said was true, 51:42.080 --> 51:46.060 it says, and they that passed, 51:46.060 --> 51:50.160 Jesus is hanging on the cross, and of course people are passing by, it says, and they that passed 51:50.160 --> 51:53.280 railed on him, wagging their heads and saying, 51:53.280 --> 51:57.160 ah, thou that destroys the temple and buildeth it in three days, 51:57.160 --> 52:02.000 save thyself, come down from the cross. Likewise, also the chief priests mocking 52:02.000 --> 52:03.480 said among themselves with the scribes, 52:03.480 --> 52:06.280 He saved others, himself he cannot save. 52:06.300 --> 52:09.140 Let Christ the King of Israel descend now from the cross 52:09.140 --> 52:11.460 that we may see and believe, 52:11.460 --> 52:15.140 and they that were crucified with him reviled him." 52:15.140 --> 52:17.360 So what's the railing in context? 52:17.360 --> 52:18.460 The lie. 52:18.460 --> 52:21.260 Did Jesus actually say these things? 52:21.260 --> 52:23.180 And is Jesus not capable of doing these things? 52:23.180 --> 52:25.140 Of course he's capable of doing it. 52:25.140 --> 52:27.860 As a matter of fact, he did save himself. 52:27.860 --> 52:29.240 He did die. 52:29.240 --> 52:30.580 He did raise again. 52:30.580 --> 52:31.420 In Revelation it says, 52:31.420 --> 52:33.340 he that was dead and is now alive. 52:34.200 --> 52:36.200 You know, I mean, these are the real things. 52:37.560 --> 52:40.600 Do you stay there and mark go back to for chapter 14? 52:40.600 --> 52:44.440 I'll read for you really quickly in John two, where they got this idea. 52:44.440 --> 52:45.640 John two verse 19. 52:46.360 --> 52:51.240 Jesus answered and said it to them, destroy this temple and in three days, I will raise it up. 52:51.240 --> 52:54.920 Then said the Jews 40 and six years was this temple and building 52:54.920 --> 52:56.760 and will thou rear it up in three days. 52:57.320 --> 52:59.880 But he spake of the temple of his body. 53:00.440 --> 53:01.080 Pretty clear. 53:02.500 --> 53:05.700 When Mark 14 verse 55, what do we see? 53:05.700 --> 53:10.100 Well, when they're taking him to trial, they couldn't get false witnesses to agree. 53:10.100 --> 53:12.500 So they finally got these guys to say this, right? 53:12.500 --> 53:14.600 In verse 55, it says, 53:14.600 --> 53:19.100 And the chief priests and all the council sought for witness against Jesus to put him to death, 53:19.100 --> 53:20.300 and found none. 53:20.300 --> 53:24.900 For many bear false witness against him, but their witness agreed not together. 53:24.900 --> 53:29.700 And there arose, so notice that their false witnesses and their witnesses don't agree. 53:30.000 --> 53:33.760 and they rose certain and bare false witness against him saying, 53:33.760 --> 53:38.320 We heard him say, I will destroy this temple that is made with bands hands, 53:38.320 --> 53:40.880 and within three days I will build another made without hands. 53:41.440 --> 53:44.640 But neither so did their witnesses agree together." 53:44.640 --> 53:46.960 And that's literally what they took and they ran with it. 53:46.960 --> 53:49.920 I mean the whole trials of mock trials of mockery, right? 53:49.920 --> 53:51.280 But it's based on what? 53:51.280 --> 53:52.160 A lie. 53:52.500 --> 53:57.980 So, when they're up there railing on Him and they mention this thing, they're lying about 53:57.980 --> 53:58.980 Him. 53:58.980 --> 54:03.080 In Luke 23, you don't have to turn there for the sake of time, but in verse 39, go to 1 54:03.080 --> 54:05.280 Corinthians 5, but in verse 39 it says, 54:05.280 --> 54:11.440 And one of the malfactors which were hanged railed on Him, saying, If thou be the Christ, 54:11.440 --> 54:12.440 save thyself and us. 54:12.440 --> 54:13.440 And I think that's pretty self-explanatory. 54:13.440 --> 54:14.200 I'm Tory. 54:14.500 --> 54:17.900 He's lying because can Jesus save himself and us? 54:17.900 --> 54:19.700 Absolutely, that's exactly what he did. 54:19.700 --> 54:23.600 That's literally the complete opposite of the purpose of Jesus Christ. 54:23.600 --> 54:27.900 He died, he rose again so that we have eternal life. 54:27.900 --> 54:29.000 That's why he was there. 54:29.000 --> 54:31.800 So this guy is railing on him by bringing up a lie. 54:36.100 --> 54:40.820 1 Corinthians 5 verse 11. We've touched on this a lot this year, so I'm just like, 54:40.820 --> 54:42.500 I have just one point right here and it's like, 54:45.460 --> 54:49.540 we see the verse 11 which is talking about the people that need to be removed from the church 54:49.540 --> 54:54.660 and not to keep company. We have to use God's definition. 54:55.300 --> 55:00.580 And by the way, this argument that, oh well, you know, modern day or even older day or 1600 55:00.580 --> 55:06.340 dictionary or dictionary back from day one doesn't say this doesn't matter because all 55:06.340 --> 55:12.660 languages derive from God. Literally, the only way we even have all these definitions is there was 55:12.660 --> 55:18.660 one language and then you have the Tower of Babel and God is the one who confounds the nations and 55:18.660 --> 55:22.820 creates languages. So at the end of the day, if we say that this is God's word, 55:23.300 --> 55:27.060 then this is the foundation of all language. 55:27.060 --> 55:30.100 Right? Even if it's preserved in another language, 55:30.100 --> 55:33.380 this would carry more weight than any other 55:33.380 --> 55:38.180 definition or language expression anywhere for us as Christians. 55:38.180 --> 55:40.500 It has to be, otherwise, would we do it? 55:40.500 --> 55:43.700 And by the way, you say, it feels like a cop-out. 55:43.700 --> 55:46.100 It's not, though, because don't people do that? 55:46.100 --> 55:49.700 I mean, Generation Z has their own language. 55:50.300 --> 55:52.700 that they trust and they take it to the bank. 55:53.340 --> 55:53.840 Right? 55:54.060 --> 55:55.420 They have words like bet. 55:56.220 --> 55:56.720 Right? 55:56.720 --> 55:58.480 And I think, I think bet is like, 55:58.480 --> 56:00.940 I don't actually, let me not try to do Gen Z because I don't, 56:00.940 --> 56:03.100 but for us, bet would be to gamble. 56:03.100 --> 56:03.980 They say bet. 56:03.980 --> 56:07.740 Like, we're sitting there in context, we would both be off. 56:08.460 --> 56:08.960 Right? 56:08.960 --> 56:11.180 And so we would have to be in the right environment 56:11.180 --> 56:12.620 to be able to figure out what that word means. 56:12.620 --> 56:13.740 Well, as Christians, 56:13.740 --> 56:17.100 we have our own language, it's called the King James Bible. 56:17.600 --> 56:21.600 Right? We don't need Generation Z or the Millennials or Exednials. 56:21.600 --> 56:24.100 We don't need any of that. We just need to read the Bible. 56:24.100 --> 56:28.100 And whatever the Bible says, that's what we use for faith and practice. 56:28.100 --> 56:31.100 And I mean, this is a really important point because 56:31.100 --> 56:34.600 everything that I've discussed, not only today, but any controversy 56:34.600 --> 56:38.100 or anything that's serious out there, it's arrived because people are twisting this 56:38.100 --> 56:40.600 and they're taking it out of context. 56:40.600 --> 56:44.100 And they're just deciding what they like and what they don't like. 56:44.100 --> 56:44.600 All right? 56:45.400 --> 56:48.680 Let me see if I have this I had a note here, but like I said, I was 56:49.200 --> 56:53.040 My wife was sick and and but I did have a note here 56:57.000 --> 56:57.880 Where is it? 57:01.400 --> 57:06.960 I wonder if it's, I updated it, but I think, I have this like app and it syncs and I just 57:06.960 --> 57:08.160 want to not miss that point. 57:08.160 --> 57:11.200 But if it doesn't, it's okay. 57:11.200 --> 57:11.700 So 57:18.700 --> 57:21.020 Thank you for your patience. 57:21.020 --> 57:21.780 I know where to get it. 57:26.600 --> 57:27.900 technologies like... 57:29.400 --> 57:32.560 Horrible because I like do memos sometimes because it's like late at night 57:32.760 --> 57:36.520 My wife thinks it's freaky because I don't want to get up and write so I'll be like 57:40.080 --> 57:42.620 And she's like, what are you doing? I was like, oh, I'm just writing a note for myself 57:42.800 --> 57:47.960 So I have like these memos and then I'll transcribe them and then I'll write on this notebook and then I'll write my notes here 57:47.960 --> 57:51.760 It's like all over the place but go to first Timothy six go to first Timothy six 57:51.760 --> 57:54.320 I mean, we know the one in first Corinthians five 57:54.320 --> 57:57.360 I had you turn there, but but now I have written unto you not to keep company 57:57.400 --> 58:01.360 of any man that is called a brother, such as a fornicator, or a covetous, or an idolater, 58:01.360 --> 58:04.920 or a raider, or a drunkard, or an extortioner, with such one know not eat." 58:04.920 --> 58:09.000 What's interesting is, why would God put in a word that's so difficult to define if all 58:09.000 --> 58:10.440 the other things are pretty clear? 58:10.440 --> 58:12.880 No, it has to be clear. 58:12.880 --> 58:15.440 The only way we get clarity is from the Bible. 58:15.440 --> 58:20.600 And if every instance is pointing to slander, or a lie, or false information, then we just 58:20.600 --> 58:21.600 know not what a raider is. 58:21.600 --> 58:22.720 someone who's coming around. 58:23.400 --> 58:27.320 and he's lying about certain people or certain things and it's infecting the church, 58:28.120 --> 58:33.880 but now they're on that bandwagon and then it's also like an infection because if you look at it, 58:33.880 --> 58:39.000 fornication is infectious, right? People are going to get on that bandwagon. Covetousness is the same 58:39.000 --> 58:43.880 thing. Idolater, same thing. You know, you get people, it isn't that true? Like you get all 58:43.880 --> 58:48.040 these people. I mean, we had three people come out of the woodworks that believed in a different 58:48.040 --> 58:50.000 the current version of the Trinity. 58:50.300 --> 58:51.500 It wasn't just one guy. 58:51.500 --> 58:53.420 All of a sudden, out of the blue one day, 58:53.420 --> 58:56.100 back in November, it was three guys, just like that. 58:56.100 --> 58:57.380 It infects. 58:57.380 --> 58:59.540 Railers, drunkards. 58:59.540 --> 59:01.240 Drunks don't like to drink by themselves. 59:01.240 --> 59:03.700 They like to be social drinkers. 59:03.700 --> 59:06.100 Extortioners, all of these, Gary. 59:06.100 --> 59:08.460 But go to 1 Timothy 6. 59:08.460 --> 59:09.660 Go to 1 Timothy 6. 59:09.660 --> 59:09.900 you 59:23.400 --> 59:25.400 Okay, I don't know. 59:27.240 --> 59:28.680 And right there, verse Timothy 6 says, 59:28.680 --> 59:33.400 Let as many servants as are under the yoke count their own masters worthy of all honor, 59:33.400 --> 59:36.200 that the name of God and his doctrine be not blaspheme. 59:36.200 --> 59:40.200 And that they have believing masters, let them not despise them because they are brethren, 59:40.200 --> 59:43.560 but rather do them service because they are faithful and beloved, 59:43.560 --> 59:46.200 partakers of the benefit these things teach and exhort. 59:47.080 --> 59:48.600 If any man teach otherwise... 59:49.500 --> 59:52.260 So he's saying, hey, this is what you need to do. 59:52.260 --> 59:54.380 And consent not to holds and words, even the words 59:54.380 --> 59:56.460 of our Lord Jesus Christ into the doctrine, which 59:56.460 --> 59:57.540 is according to godliness. 59:57.540 --> 01:00:01.700 He is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions 01:00:01.700 --> 01:00:02.580 and strives of words. 01:00:02.580 --> 01:00:07.700 Whereof cometh envy, strive, railings, evil surmising. 01:00:07.700 --> 01:00:08.220 Which is what? 01:00:08.220 --> 01:00:10.100 The opposite of what he's saying, 01:00:10.100 --> 01:00:12.260 which is we're supposed to preach the truth, right? 01:00:12.500 --> 01:00:16.660 It says that if not, they're going about going about questions and struts and work. 01:00:16.660 --> 01:00:17.660 Well, who does that? 01:00:17.660 --> 01:00:21.540 Those that want to focus on like false doctrine or not truth, right? 01:00:21.540 --> 01:00:25.420 Like the guy that kept, they kept me at the door longer than I should have stayed today. 01:00:25.420 --> 01:00:30.060 He just wanted to, he just used doting questions and what if scenarios that nothing to do with 01:00:30.060 --> 01:00:30.500 the Bible. 01:00:31.200 --> 01:00:35.800 He's just coming up with stuff either for strife, I think it was for strife, and for 01:00:35.800 --> 01:00:37.720 evil's remising, like it just made no sense, right? 01:00:37.720 --> 01:00:45.800 It says perverse disputing of men of corrupt minds and destitute of the truth. 01:00:45.800 --> 01:00:47.360 I like the way it's worded there, right? 01:00:47.360 --> 01:00:48.240 They don't have truth. 01:00:48.600 --> 01:00:53.480 their destitute of the truth supposing they gain his godliness and what does it say from such 01:00:53.480 --> 01:00:58.840 withdraw thyself but godliness with contentment is great gain so it's consistent across the 01:00:58.840 --> 01:01:03.720 bible hey if these guys are these individuals and there's railing involved you need to withdraw 01:01:03.720 --> 01:01:08.440 yourself and then first corinthians specific about not only withdrawing but removing 01:01:11.300 --> 01:01:15.060 So we see it and think about it like this. 01:01:15.060 --> 01:01:17.980 We have a righteous government that can take out people, right? 01:01:17.980 --> 01:01:21.400 If a government, we have capital punishment that still exists in some states, 01:01:21.400 --> 01:01:23.340 even if they drag it out. 01:01:23.340 --> 01:01:25.340 But you can go online, I searched this, 01:01:25.340 --> 01:01:28.140 there's Reddit boards where people will still call that murder. 01:01:28.400 --> 01:01:30.400 It doesn't matter what they call it, right? 01:01:30.400 --> 01:01:32.400 And let's just remove the Bible just for a second. 01:01:32.400 --> 01:01:35.400 From a government standpoint, it's not considered murder 01:01:35.400 --> 01:01:38.400 when they kill somebody for heinous crime, right? 01:01:38.400 --> 01:01:41.400 If it's capital punishment, it's just allowed by the law. 01:01:41.400 --> 01:01:43.400 They just remove that person, right? 01:01:43.400 --> 01:01:46.400 So just because someone says, oh well, it's murder, 01:01:46.400 --> 01:01:47.400 doesn't mean anything. 01:01:47.400 --> 01:01:50.400 Oh, you know, don't call it murder. 01:01:50.400 --> 01:01:52.400 Call it abortion. 01:01:52.400 --> 01:01:54.900 Well, what is it?

That's railing. 01:03:10.100 --> 01:03:15.900 That's exactly what he's lying about who he is and about God and he's presenting something else. 01:03:15.900 --> 01:03:17.140 The truth finally came out. 01:03:17.140 --> 01:03:18.740 1 Peter 3, 9 says, finally... 01:03:19.100 --> 01:03:26.340 In first Peter 3 verse 8 says finally be you all of one mind having compassion one another love as brethren 01:03:26.340 --> 01:03:32.160 Be pitiful be courteous not rendering evil for evil and here's that you remember what earlier when we said 01:03:32.160 --> 01:03:33.480 How do you learn this in context? 01:03:33.480 --> 01:03:40.180 Sometimes it gives us one word to introduce another not rendering evil for evil or railing for railing 01:03:40.200 --> 01:03:46.680 But contrary wise blessing that you know that knowing that you are there unto call that you should inherit a blessing 01:03:47.100 --> 01:03:52.100 For he that will love life and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil. 01:03:52.100 --> 01:03:57.100 Notice it didn't say from how you talk or the tone, it's from evil. 01:03:57.100 --> 01:04:00.100 Which is raeling, because it's evil for evil, raeling for raeling. 01:04:00.100 --> 01:04:02.100 And it's lips that they speak no guile. 01:04:02.100 --> 01:04:05.000 What's guile? To deceive, to lie. 01:04:05.400 --> 01:04:08.200 I mean within the context it's right here. It's it's plain as day 01:04:08.600 --> 01:04:11.000 Let him eschew evil and do good 01:04:11.240 --> 01:04:17.000 Let him seek peace and ensue it for the eyes of the lord are over the righteous and his ears are open unto their prayers 01:04:17.240 --> 01:04:19.240 But the face of the lord is against them 01:04:19.720 --> 01:04:21.560 to do evil 01:04:21.560 --> 01:04:25.180 And who is he that will harm you if you be followers of that which is good? 01:04:26.000 --> 01:04:30.320 But if you suffer for righteousness sake, happier ye, and be not afraid of their terror, neither be 01:04:30.320 --> 01:04:34.400 troubled. But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts, and be ready always to give an answer to every 01:04:34.400 --> 01:04:40.000 one man that asketh you the reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear, having a 01:04:40.000 --> 01:04:49.200 good conscience, that whereas they speak evil of you as evildoers, they may be ashamed that falsely accuse you. 01:04:50.000 --> 01:04:53.760 your good conversation, falsely accuse your good conversation in Christ. 01:04:53.760 --> 01:04:59.280 For it is better if the will be of God be so that you suffer for well-doing than for evil doing. 01:04:59.280 --> 01:05:03.200 So what is it tied to? Falsely accusing someone. That's the context. 01:05:04.240 --> 01:05:10.240 By the way, son, can you get me a bottle of water, please? Thank you. And make it quick. Good. All 01:05:10.240 --> 01:05:15.440 right. Go to second Peter. We got two more places and we're done. But I just think 01:05:16.200 --> 01:05:19.800 Like, because I've heard people, I remember I heard, like it was just a debate. 01:05:19.800 --> 01:05:22.440 It was an action argument of these two individuals. 01:05:22.440 --> 01:05:26.720 They were going back and forth of like, was Balaam saved or not? 01:05:26.720 --> 01:05:28.440 But for me it's super easy. 01:05:28.440 --> 01:05:31.320 Balaam is mentioned in Jude, right? 01:05:31.320 --> 01:05:34.400 In the reprobate chapter, so he's a reprobate. 01:05:34.700 --> 01:05:38.260 Like that would be weird for God to just include this whole chapter 01:05:38.460 --> 01:05:42.480 Based on like the most depraved individuals who have no hope of ever being saved 01:05:42.480 --> 01:05:48.040 And he's like gonna sprinkle in someone who might have been saved. It's weird like that doesn't add up at all 01:05:50.600 --> 01:05:57.240 And second Peter 2 right there in verse 11, you know it's by the way we're going to talk 01:05:57.240 --> 01:06:04.240 about swelling words here and have a note, you know Kenny Baldwin was great, was known 01:06:04.240 --> 01:06:05.240 for what? 01:06:05.240 --> 01:06:06.240 Great swelling words. 01:06:06.240 --> 01:06:09.720 For those people who don't know and I knew a little bit about, the one thing that he 01:06:09.720 --> 01:06:12.320 was famous for was that he was just such a dynamic preacher. 01:06:12.320 --> 01:06:14.240 He had, you know, great swelling words. 01:06:17.000 --> 01:06:19.100 Right there in verse 11 of 2 Peter the Bible says, 01:06:19.100 --> 01:06:22.200 whereas angels, which are greater in power and might, 01:06:22.200 --> 01:06:25.300 bring not railing accusation against them before the Lord. 01:06:25.300 --> 01:06:27.500 They're not just going to talk about things they don't know, right? 01:06:27.500 --> 01:06:31.000 It says, but these are as natural brute beasts 01:06:31.000 --> 01:06:34.900 made to be taken and destroyed, speak evil of the things that they understand not, 01:06:34.900 --> 01:06:37.500 and shall utterly perish in their own corruptions, 01:06:37.500 --> 01:06:39.500 and shall receive the reward of unrighteousness. 01:06:39.700 --> 01:06:48.220 And as they counted pleasure to riot in daytime, spots they are in blemishes sporting themselves 01:06:48.220 --> 01:06:52.680 with their own deceivings while they feast with you. 01:06:52.680 --> 01:06:57.780 So they speak of things they don't know about, which is lying, and they sport themselves 01:06:57.780 --> 01:06:58.780 with their what? 01:06:58.780 --> 01:07:01.040 Their own lies. 01:07:01.040 --> 01:07:01.960 They're constantly lying. 01:07:03.500 --> 01:07:07.980 It says having eyes full of adultery and cannot cease from sin beguiling 01:07:09.100 --> 01:07:12.380 Right or deceiving or taking advantage of unstable souls 01:07:13.020 --> 01:07:20.380 And heart they have exercised with covetous practices cursed children which have forsaken the right way and are gone astray following the way of balaam 01:07:20.780 --> 01:07:28.140 The son of boser who loved the wages of unrighteousness but was rebuked for his iniquity the dumbass speaking with man's voice for bad 01:07:28.380 --> 01:07:29.900 the madness of the prophet 01:07:30.100 --> 01:07:34.340 These are wells without water, clouds that are carried with that tempest, to whom the 01:07:34.340 --> 01:07:38.260 midst of darkness is reserved forever. For when they speak great swelling words of vanity, 01:07:38.900 --> 01:07:45.540 they allure through the lust of the flesh, through much wantonness, those that were clean escape from 01:07:45.540 --> 01:07:49.380 them who live in error." And you know the Bible, I love that verse, my sheep hear my voice. 01:07:51.380 --> 01:07:56.500 If you leave thinking, I don't know if I agree with this, then you're just not reading the Bible. 01:07:57.200 --> 01:08:00.240 Because I'm honestly, I'm not giving you my opinion. 01:08:00.240 --> 01:08:03.840 I'm making it clear from the scripture that this is the context. 01:08:05.280 --> 01:08:08.400 Now some of it is easier to like draw out than others, 01:08:08.400 --> 01:08:10.240 but that's why you got to go read the whole Bible, right? 01:08:10.240 --> 01:08:14.080 Like I gave you, we started out in David, I went to several chapters 01:08:14.080 --> 01:08:16.880 because you got to get the character of David to see if it matches up 01:08:16.880 --> 01:08:18.560 with what this guy is saying about David. 01:08:19.000 --> 01:08:23.800 Right? We went to different places just to match up the fact that this guy's lying against God. 01:08:23.800 --> 01:08:29.880 You know, Sennacherib has got this God complex, which is not far-fetched because 01:08:30.680 --> 01:08:36.680 many kings throughout history have had a God complex. I would even, you know, make the argument 01:08:36.680 --> 01:08:41.560 that our own president currently has a bit of a God complex. Right? I mean, 01:08:41.560 --> 01:08:44.280 that's not even like a railing accusation. Like, you can... 01:08:44.700 --> 01:08:47.100 He thinks that he's the fixer of everything. 01:08:47.100 --> 01:08:50.100 That's what people refer to as a God complex. 01:08:50.100 --> 01:08:52.980 Go to Jude 1, and this is where I'll close out. 01:08:52.980 --> 01:08:56.180 Go to Jude 1, and right there we're going to go to verse 9. 01:09:00.700 --> 01:09:05.980 It says, yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil, he disputed about the body of Moses. 01:09:05.980 --> 01:09:11.980 Durst not, or dare not, bring against him a railing accusation, but said, the Lord rebuke thee. 01:09:11.980 --> 01:09:15.740 So, what is rebuke? It's hard language. 01:09:15.740 --> 01:09:19.260 Right? We have reproof and we have rebuke. 01:09:19.260 --> 01:09:26.260 Alright? I'll use my son so nobody gets hurt. You know, son, you messed up today. I love you. 01:09:26.500 --> 01:09:29.060 But you shouldn't have done this. Just fix it next time. 01:09:29.700 --> 01:09:30.500 I asked for proof. 01:09:31.220 --> 01:09:35.380 For a beauty kid like, what the hell were you thinking breaking this thing? 01:09:35.380 --> 01:09:38.260 You know how much it costs? Why were you doing this? 01:09:38.260 --> 01:09:41.620 You already know that. Who's ever lost their mind with your kid, right? And they're like... 01:09:42.500 --> 01:09:48.900 Yes, sir. Yes, sir. Yeah, that's rebuke like you just you just lose your mind. So is that Rayleigh? 01:09:48.900 --> 01:09:53.220 No, it's not Rayleigh. It's rebuke. But let me give you something here that stood out to me. 01:09:53.220 --> 01:09:57.140 This but these speak evil of those things which they know not but what they know naturally is 01:09:57.140 --> 01:10:01.220 brute beasts and those things they corrupt themselves. Won't want to them for they have 01:10:01.220 --> 01:10:05.940 gone in the way of Cain and ran greedily after the era of Balaam for a war in Paris and the 01:10:05.940 --> 01:10:07.740 in the game scene of Quora. 01:10:07.740 --> 01:10:09.540 But here's an interesting. 01:10:09.600 --> 01:10:16.160 When it's talking about Raylene versus not Raylene, what was Cain known for? 01:10:16.160 --> 01:10:18.640 Well, he rejected God's way, right? 01:10:18.640 --> 01:10:20.960 He wanted to do it his way. 01:10:20.960 --> 01:10:23.180 And then when asked about his brother, what did he do? 01:10:23.180 --> 01:10:25.520 He lied to God and justified himself, right? 01:10:25.520 --> 01:10:26.520 Am I my brother's keeper? 01:10:26.520 --> 01:10:28.120 I don't know where he is. 01:10:31.400 --> 01:10:33.880 Balaam, what is Balaam known for? 01:10:35.320 --> 01:10:39.080 Later on because people would want to argue. Oh, well, you know the God spoke to him 01:10:39.080 --> 01:10:42.740 He did but later on he's known for what for being greedy and 01:10:43.000 --> 01:10:47.680 For giving in and teaching the children of Israel the wrong way like he deceived them. He lied to them 01:10:47.960 --> 01:10:51.700 He deceived others for what for personal monetary gain 01:10:52.280 --> 01:10:53.900 Actually, maybe even for fame 01:10:55.400 --> 01:11:01.360 The sense of Korah who did they do rebel against it wasn't necessarily against Moses but against God 01:11:01.880 --> 01:11:04.280 God took him out because they're rebelling against him 01:11:04.840 --> 01:11:10.560 Right and what they do they persuaded others to rebel against God, right? 01:11:10.560 --> 01:11:14.960 And the earth swallowed him up. I mean, that's like one of the most like violent 01:11:14.960 --> 01:11:19.200 Just graphic stories in the Bible is the sense of Korah that earth opens up is just like 01:11:20.400 --> 01:11:26.640 Every time I like my my vision of that is just crazy like in my mind when I when I see it right so 01:11:28.080 --> 01:11:31.600 Deception runs through through the parallels of the two and 01:11:32.560 --> 01:11:39.360 Two out of the nine references on raylene are found in the book of second peter ed and jude 01:11:39.360 --> 01:11:44.320 Which deals with the most hideous people who have no problem lying to you 01:11:45.200 --> 01:11:47.840 I mean if you've ever done any study on psychopaths 01:11:48.400 --> 01:11:53.280 Like, they don't even, that's why they don't do polygraphs, because they don't even get 01:11:53.280 --> 01:11:54.280 nervous. 01:11:54.280 --> 01:11:58.520 Like, they think, they're so good at lying, they believe their own lies. 01:11:58.520 --> 01:12:03.000 Like they're so good at lying, it doesn't even, like it doesn't even register. 01:12:03.000 --> 01:12:08.040 They don't get nervous, it's just like, you know, or you, you know, do you believe in 01:12:08.040 --> 01:12:09.040 God? 01:12:11.800 --> 01:12:19.160 But you killed those children? Yep, I did it. Did you feel anything? Nope. It's like, have you ever 01:12:19.160 --> 01:12:23.160 seen just, I don't know, I can't even watch but like a few seconds of any of those, it's just, 01:12:23.160 --> 01:12:29.080 it's just mind-boggling that the mind can get like that, right? But you see this here and, and this 01:12:29.080 --> 01:12:34.760 is important and it's not just because some pastor brought it up, although that was the trigger, it's 01:12:34.760 --> 01:12:39.100 because at the end of the day my duty and my responsibility 01:12:39.500 --> 01:12:42.220 is that we preach the word of God correctly. 01:12:42.980 --> 01:12:46.340 You know, and if we get away from trying to let the, 01:12:46.340 --> 01:12:48.860 if we get away from letting the Bible define itself, 01:12:48.860 --> 01:12:51.140 we run into a lot of issues, right? 01:12:51.140 --> 01:12:53.180 Another way that, you know, you can look at it is, 01:12:53.180 --> 01:12:55.620 the Bible teaches spanking in the Bible. 01:12:56.460 --> 01:13:00.740 And the whole goal of spanking a child is to correct, 01:13:00.740 --> 01:13:04.460 like, a, something that's incorrect in them, right? 01:13:04.700 --> 01:13:06.300 It's a correction. 01:13:06.300 --> 01:13:08.900 And when people will say, oh, well, that's abuse. 01:13:08.900 --> 01:13:11.500 Well, abuse is when you're looking to harm somebody. 01:13:11.500 --> 01:13:15.060 And it doesn't always have to be physically inflicting pain. 01:13:15.060 --> 01:13:16.860 You think about the story I told you this morning. 01:13:16.860 --> 01:13:18.100 That's abuse. 01:13:18.600 --> 01:13:24.200 You know, when you harm someone emotionally or psychologically or physically, that's the 01:13:24.200 --> 01:13:25.200 difference. 01:13:25.200 --> 01:13:30.400 You know, that's why God created the gluteus maximus, right? 01:13:30.400 --> 01:13:32.080 I don't hope I pronounced that correctly. 01:13:32.080 --> 01:13:36.280 Because even as a grown adult, if you get hurt, like if you fall on your butt, as long 01:13:36.280 --> 01:13:40.840 as you fall on the thick part of it, it'll hurt, but it'll go away, right? 01:13:41.300 --> 01:13:43.860 But don't fall on your collarbone because you'll break it. 01:13:43.860 --> 01:13:45.380 And then, you know, think about it. 01:13:45.380 --> 01:13:48.780 If you if if someone comes in like a child comes in and their 01:13:48.780 --> 01:13:52.660 collarbone is broken from supposed punishment, well, that's 01:13:52.660 --> 01:13:53.700 inflicting pain. 01:13:53.700 --> 01:13:57.540 But if their butt hurts for a few seconds, I mean, they hurt 01:13:57.540 --> 01:13:58.740 their butts just roller skating. 01:13:58.740 --> 01:13:59.940 My son's learning roller skating. 01:13:59.940 --> 01:14:01.140 He fell straight on his butt. 01:14:01.140 --> 01:14:02.700 You know what he learned? 01:14:02.700 --> 01:14:03.620 Correction. 01:14:03.620 --> 01:14:04.540 Right. 01:14:04.540 --> 01:14:06.940 That's actually corrective action because he's like, I don't 01:14:06.940 --> 01:14:07.900 want to fall on my butt again. 01:14:07.900 --> 01:14:09.020 So let me balance better. 01:14:09.400 --> 01:14:12.200 You know, who's ever fallen on their butt from roller skating? 01:14:12.200 --> 01:14:16.280 I have, you know, maybe if you've never done it, good. 01:14:16.280 --> 01:14:20.200 But I just want to make sure you guys know the whole goal of what we do 01:14:21.160 --> 01:14:25.160 here at our church and like the idea behind everything is derived from the Bible. 01:14:25.700 --> 01:14:30.400 You know, before I was ever a pastor, before I was ever even considered, the reason that 01:14:30.400 --> 01:14:34.620 I served at Spring Breasts for so many years before I was ever ordained was because the 01:14:34.620 --> 01:14:38.820 one thing that I could get for sure from Pastor Cobb is that he was preaching God's Word. 01:14:38.820 --> 01:14:42.260 You know, he never gave me his opinion about stuff, and if he did, he was letting me know, 01:14:42.260 --> 01:14:45.220 like, this is my opinion, this is what I think. 01:14:45.220 --> 01:14:48.220 Because you don't want to go to church, you know, I don't care if you have opinions, but 01:14:48.220 --> 01:14:51.540 what I do care is that you think that your opinion forms a doctrine. 01:14:52.400 --> 01:14:54.560 Your doctrine should never be formed on an opinion. 01:14:54.560 --> 01:14:58.560 Your doctrine should be formed on clear statements from the Bible. 01:14:58.560 --> 01:15:01.760 So I don't care what the Concordance says or what the Greek says. 01:15:01.760 --> 01:15:02.800 You know, I don't speak Greek. 01:15:02.800 --> 01:15:04.680 I don't care what the Hebrew says because I don't speak Hebrew. 01:15:04.680 --> 01:15:07.760 Remember, I don't even care what the Spanish says because even though I speak Spanish, 01:15:07.760 --> 01:15:09.200 I'm not a linguist in Spanish. 01:15:09.200 --> 01:15:13.520 I just speak like very low level Spanish compared to like someone who grew up there. 01:15:13.520 --> 01:15:15.720 What I care about is what the Bible says. 01:15:15.720 --> 01:15:17.280 So let's go ahead and just close in a word of prayer. 01:15:17.280 --> 01:15:18.040 Heavenly Father, Lord. 01:15:19.400 --> 01:15:22.360 Thank you for what I would refer to as Review Sunday. 01:15:23.320 --> 01:15:29.800 Thank you for just teaching us clearly how to decipher, how to just draw truth from the Bible. 01:15:30.840 --> 01:15:36.840 There's so much to draw from, Lord, and we should never just jump to conclusions, 01:15:37.640 --> 01:15:41.240 and we should just answer, we should never answer a matter before we know things. 01:15:41.240 --> 01:15:44.440 I mean, that's a biblical command you give us in Proverbs. 01:15:44.440 --> 01:15:45.560 But Lord, I just pray that. 01:15:46.000 --> 01:15:52.000 if anybody ever has a question or a doubt before they just jump to conclusions that they would actually search the matter out. 01:15:52.000 --> 01:16:02.000 And even if it doesn't come to them quickly, if the truth is the truth, then they should search it out and verify it for themselves. 01:16:02.000 --> 01:16:09.000 Instead of just jumping on some bandwagon or some definition or some idea that doesn't necessarily line up. 01:16:09.000 --> 01:16:12.960 Because often times when we do that it's because we're trying to justify ourselves. 01:16:13.500 --> 01:16:17.000 and our thoughts instead of what you really have to say. 01:16:17.000 --> 01:16:19.900 And the truth is the reason we do that is because 01:16:19.900 --> 01:16:23.400 sometimes when we learn things in the Bible, they're not convenient to us. 01:16:23.400 --> 01:16:25.800 Other times, you know, it's easy to line up. 01:16:25.800 --> 01:16:28.500 You know, it's easy for me to say, don't drink because I don't drink, but... 01:16:28.800 --> 01:16:34.000 Other sins might be harder for me to just jump on because they're more susceptible or I'm more 01:16:34.000 --> 01:16:39.120 susceptible to them. So Lord just help us to accept both when they're easy and when they're hard 01:16:39.120 --> 01:16:44.160 and know that both are correct because you're correct 100% of the time. So Lord I just thank 01:16:44.160 --> 01:16:47.600 you for all the soul winners, thank you for the visitors, and Lord I just pray that you would 01:16:47.600 --> 01:16:53.920 bless us as we go about our week and just give us a great work week in Jesus name we pray, amen. 01:16:53.920 --> 01:16:55.920 Let's turn our handbills over to page 30. 01:16:58.100 --> 01:16:59.600 30 01:17:09.400 --> 01:17:11.400 Nothing but the blood. 01:17:11.400 --> 01:17:12.500 On the first. 01:17:19.500 --> 01:17:23.900 What can wash away my sin? 01:17:23.900 --> 01:17:28.500 Nothing but the blood of Jesus. 01:17:28.500 --> 01:17:33.100 What can make me whole again? 01:17:33.100 --> 01:17:37.700 Nothing but the blood of Jesus. 01:17:37.700 --> 01:17:42.500 Oh, precious is the flow 01:17:42.500 --> 01:17:45.500 that makes me white. 01:17:53.200 --> 01:17:58.300 Nothing but the blood of Jesus 01:17:58.300 --> 01:18:02.880 For my part and this I see 01:18:02.880 --> 01:18:07.480 Nothing but the blood of Jesus 01:18:07.480 --> 01:18:12.160 For my cleansing, this my plea 01:18:12.160 --> 01:18:16.880 Nothing but the blood of Jesus 01:18:16.880 --> 01:18:17.880 Oh 01:18:36.800 --> 01:18:41.200 Nothing can force in a tone 01:18:41.200 --> 01:18:46.000 Nothing but the blood of Jesus 01:18:46.000 --> 01:18:48.800 Not of good that I've 01:19:27.800 --> 01:19:33.800 Nothing but the blood of Jesus. 01:19:49.900 --> 01:19:51.100 But the blood... 01:19:54.500 --> 01:19:56.500 Alright, you are dismissed. 01:19:56.500 --> 01:19:57.800 Daniela?
