00:00:00.130 --> 00:00:03.400
 The translators of the King James Bible believe that the Bible had been preserved in Greek

00:00:03.400 --> 00:00:09.050
 and Hebrew from the time of Christ to them and that they were going to create another

00:00:09.050 --> 00:00:13.350
 translation from that pure source, from that true source, and that's the same viewpoint

00:00:13.350 --> 00:00:14.340
 that I have.

00:00:14.340 --> 00:00:18.250
 And so their authority was the Hebrew and the Greek.

00:00:18.250 --> 00:00:22.930
 And I think that for us, we have to be honest, like, our authority should not have transitioned

00:00:22.930 --> 00:00:24.230
 away from that.

00:00:24.230 --> 00:00:26.870
 We should still have the Hebrew and Greek as our authority.

00:00:26.870 --> 00:00:31.200
 It's just now we've been blessed with a third authority, the King James Bible, and these

00:00:31.200 --> 00:00:33.120
 three agree in one.

00:00:33.120 --> 00:00:38.670
 And these three are kind of the three-fold cord that is not easily broken.

00:00:38.670 --> 00:00:43.260
 And so I think that, you know, that's why, especially for English-speaking people, we

00:00:43.260 --> 00:00:48.450
 have such a great opportunity to put all of our trust and confidence in the King James

00:00:48.450 --> 00:00:49.450
 Bible.

00:00:49.450 --> 00:00:55.000
 And for other languages and other peoples, they have many Texas or Sepulchre translations

00:00:55.000 --> 00:00:59.990
 where they can, you know, trust their Bible for the most part and whatever maybe really

00:00:59.990 --> 00:01:02.390
 minor discrepancies.

00:01:02.390 --> 00:01:04.910
 They're usually so trivial, they don't really affect anything.

00:01:04.910 --> 00:01:09.620
 And if they really want to know, well, they could learn Hebrew, Greek, or English, and

00:01:09.620 --> 00:01:15.090
 they could get that settled for them if they truly wanted to kind of understand every single

00:01:15.090 --> 00:01:18.180
 minutia and every single minute detail.

00:01:18.180 --> 00:01:22.680
 But I think that it's pretty clear from our documentary that we demonstrate the Tyndale

00:01:22.680 --> 00:01:24.110
 is the same as the King James Bible.

00:01:24.110 --> 00:01:27.110
 It's over 80% of the time in the New Testament.

00:01:27.110 --> 00:01:31.110
 I added another speaker, Warrior of Christ.

00:01:31.110 --> 00:01:34.730
 How's it going?

00:01:34.730 --> 00:01:35.690
 Hey, good evening guys.

00:01:35.690 --> 00:01:36.650
 Good, good.

00:01:36.650 --> 00:01:37.680
 Interesting discussion.

00:01:37.680 --> 00:01:41.610
 I'm coming from the Orthodox, Serbian Orthodox faith.

00:01:41.610 --> 00:01:47.320
 I do live in America for the last 10 years, but then I was just like Googling what are

00:01:47.320 --> 00:01:54.350
 the differences in some of the, and I didn't see many, but the Baptist faith and Orthodox

00:01:54.350 --> 00:01:58.760
 Church, so that's why I was just Googling as you guys were talking and yeah.

00:01:58.760 --> 00:02:04.650
 Yeah, I mean probably one of the biggest differences is about salvation, and you know we believe

00:02:04.650 --> 00:02:11.260
 salvation is by faith only, and it's just a one-time decision to put all your trust

00:02:11.260 --> 00:02:14.180
 in Jesus' finished work on the cross.

00:02:14.180 --> 00:02:21.550
 That's what we believe would be essential for the salvation to go to heaven, and I believe

00:02:21.550 --> 00:02:27.220
 that a lot of Greek Orthodox believe in kind of a combination of faith and being faithful.

00:02:27.220 --> 00:02:28.200
 Yeah, exactly.

00:02:28.200 --> 00:02:30.140
 Yeah, yeah.

00:02:30.140 --> 00:02:35.050
 So that's, you know, for us, you know, we would like people to change their mind and,

00:02:35.050 --> 00:02:40.370
 you know, believe in what we call faith alone as far as a doctrinal possession.

00:02:40.370 --> 00:02:45.370
 But additionally, you know, the Greek Orthodox will say this, they're typically right on

00:02:45.370 --> 00:02:46.350
 the Bible issue.

00:02:46.350 --> 00:02:53.700
 A lot of them subscribe to the Textus Receptus and virtually all the Greek Orthodox, they

00:02:53.700 --> 00:03:00.920
 have Greek manuscripts that line up with the King James Bible and they have the same viewpoint

00:03:00.920 --> 00:03:04.900
 on that because they speak Greek and they understand that.

00:03:04.900 --> 00:03:12.590
 I mean, the modern Bibles today say some weird stuff and do some weird things and the critical

00:03:12.590 --> 00:03:15.130
 text is just kind of a joke.

00:03:15.130 --> 00:03:16.110
 It's a joke.

00:03:16.110 --> 00:03:23.600
 I believe that probably the official English language should have kept the words like "thou,"

00:03:23.600 --> 00:03:26.300
 "the," "thine" and stuff like that.

00:03:26.300 --> 00:03:33.060
 It's really specific in the language and it represents precise what you want to express

00:03:33.060 --> 00:03:34.270
 if you will.

00:03:34.270 --> 00:03:35.290
 Don't you agree?

00:03:35.290 --> 00:03:36.280
 Yeah, absolutely.

00:03:36.280 --> 00:03:37.270
 Singular versus plural.

00:03:37.270 --> 00:03:41.530
 In fact, I was talking to a coworker one time about this and he kind of objected about

00:03:41.530 --> 00:03:47.250
 the thine and the these and I explained to him like, well, the thine and the thou is singular

00:03:47.250 --> 00:03:53.460
 and the ye and ye is plural and that actually helps you get a little bit more nuanced meaning.

00:03:53.460 --> 00:03:57.490
 And he's actually a pretty smart person, he's one of my really close friends now, but he

00:03:57.490 --> 00:03:59.150
 was like, you know, you're right.

00:03:59.150 --> 00:04:04.810
 And the modern versions kind of destroy some of that distinct knowledge that's coming from

00:04:04.810 --> 00:04:11.170
 the these and the thou, so it's definitely superior as far as an understanding perspective.

00:04:11.170 --> 00:04:16.270
 Frankly, I don't even have a problem reading it, like at this point it sounds good too.

00:04:16.270 --> 00:04:20.810
 I think maybe at first it's a little awkward, you know, and I'll admit that, but once you

00:04:20.810 --> 00:04:27.040
 kind of read through the Bible a couple times, it really becomes just kind of part of your

00:04:27.040 --> 00:04:28.020
 understanding.

00:04:28.020 --> 00:04:29.480
 I mean, most written documents are like this.

00:04:29.480 --> 00:04:33.430
 If you read a legal document, that is not how we talk.

00:04:33.430 --> 00:04:37.870
 It's very formal, but that doesn't mean that it's necessarily wrong or bad.

00:04:37.870 --> 00:04:43.050
 And I think with the Bible itself, it's going to at times not necessarily sound exactly

00:04:43.050 --> 00:04:44.300
 like we talk.

00:04:44.300 --> 00:04:48.610
 But I often catch myself listening to a preacher reading the King James Bible and thinking

00:04:48.610 --> 00:04:54.600
 like, "Is he reading or is he just talking because it just sounds so good?"

00:04:54.600 --> 00:04:59.040
 And so I like the King James Bible language.

00:04:59.040 --> 00:05:02.200
 It sounds good.

00:05:02.200 --> 00:05:06.560
 And there's so many passages where I love it when the Apostle Paul wrote in Romans.

00:05:06.560 --> 00:05:13.010
 He's just answering the question and it just flows so beautifully that you feel like you're

00:05:13.010 --> 00:05:16.570
 literally there and he's just having a conversation with you.

00:05:16.570 --> 00:05:17.570
 Like, "What then?

00:05:17.570 --> 00:05:19.990
 Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound?"

00:05:19.990 --> 00:05:20.980
 God forbid.

00:05:20.980 --> 00:05:25.070
 He's just answering his own questions and it just flows so beautifully.

00:05:25.070 --> 00:05:26.060
 Now fool.

00:05:26.060 --> 00:05:27.050
 Yeah.

00:05:27.050 --> 00:05:29.510
 In answer to the objector.

00:05:29.510 --> 00:05:30.490
 The objector.

00:05:30.490 --> 00:05:31.560
 He brings up so many objectors.

00:05:31.560 --> 00:05:32.540
 Sure.

00:05:32.540 --> 00:05:33.520
 And actually, that's how...

00:05:33.520 --> 00:05:34.500
 Don't you think...

00:05:34.500 --> 00:05:35.880
 He had a lot of debates.

00:05:35.880 --> 00:05:41.270
 When you read the text, it seems like Apostle Paul's constantly having contention and debates

00:05:41.270 --> 00:05:44.600
 with people on these issues, because think about how many objections he's constantly

00:05:44.600 --> 00:05:45.600
 bringing up.

00:05:45.600 --> 00:05:47.830
 I also think that's how we preach, though, too.

00:05:47.830 --> 00:05:49.010
 You say, "I don't agree with that."

00:05:49.010 --> 00:05:50.000
 Well, you know what?

00:05:50.000 --> 00:05:50.980
 Go find another church.

00:05:50.980 --> 00:05:51.970
 You know what I mean?

00:05:51.970 --> 00:05:53.740
 The you say objector.

00:05:53.740 --> 00:06:00.960
 But obviously, I agree, and the thing with the language, too, is that there's this misconception

00:06:00.960 --> 00:06:02.910
 that the King James is using Old English.

00:06:02.910 --> 00:06:05.630
 It's actually using Modern English.

00:06:05.630 --> 00:06:08.600
 Old English you would not be able to understand at all.

00:06:08.600 --> 00:06:10.500
 That's like Beowulf.

00:06:10.500 --> 00:06:17.040
 That's really distinct in the way that it sounds, and it's unrecognizable.

00:06:17.040 --> 00:06:23.970
 What we speak is contemporary English, you and I, but the King James is written in Modern

00:06:23.970 --> 00:06:27.560
 English, not Old English, so that's a misconception.

00:06:27.560 --> 00:06:29.790
 So I added a couple more speakers in here.

00:06:29.790 --> 00:06:32.350
 Shout out to Tyndale, like the name.

00:06:32.350 --> 00:06:34.840
 How's it going?

00:06:34.840 --> 00:06:35.770
 Thank you.

00:06:35.770 --> 00:06:43.710
 I'm a Baptist, I'm King James only, I'm from Canada, and I just wanted to like, yeah,

00:06:43.710 --> 00:06:44.830
 pretty rare.

00:06:44.830 --> 00:06:51.910
 I just want to address what Gerrit was asking or commenting, like was there something authoritative

00:06:51.910 --> 00:06:55.610
 before 1611, and what was it?

00:06:55.610 --> 00:06:58.220
 Roughly, I guess that's what he was saying.

00:06:58.220 --> 00:07:04.140
 And one thing I want to remind people is that a lot of the language that we use today was

00:07:04.140 --> 00:07:10.610
 actually defined by the King James, because if you think about it, at that time they didn't

00:07:10.610 --> 00:07:15.600
 even have canonical spellings for words, right?

00:07:15.600 --> 00:07:20.370
 Like you could spell a word any way you like it and people would just have to accept it.

00:07:20.370 --> 00:07:25.130
 Whereas now the King James, because of the King James Bible, because of its authoritative

00:07:25.130 --> 00:07:33.940
 status in the English language, it basically created a spelling for English, you know?

00:07:33.940 --> 00:07:42.100
 It's because of the King James Bible that we have canonical spellings for words.

00:07:42.100 --> 00:07:47.060
 So I'm basically just trying to get at the point that, yeah, of course they had something

00:07:47.060 --> 00:07:57.140
 authoritative back then, but they were writing a Bible for what people needed to read at

00:07:57.140 --> 00:07:58.180
 the time, right?

00:07:58.180 --> 00:08:04.440
 And it just so happens that after 400 years, it's stayed tried and true.

00:08:04.440 --> 00:08:11.170
 Like, I really don't think English has changed that much in 400 years.

00:08:11.170 --> 00:08:16.120
 I mean, of course you don't use these and those and whatever, but even at that time,

00:08:16.120 --> 00:08:22.790
 I think "the" and "thou" and "thine," those were sort of going out of style anyway.

00:08:22.790 --> 00:08:29.160
 So anyway, yeah, that's just sort of my comment on what Jer had to say.

00:08:29.160 --> 00:08:34.670
 That's a good point about obviously our language has been really crafted by the King James.

00:08:34.670 --> 00:08:40.570
 Many of our phrases, a lot of our terminology, key vocabulary is coming from the King James

00:08:40.570 --> 00:08:45.530
 Bible and so that definitely makes a lot of sense.

00:08:45.530 --> 00:08:47.560
 I added one other speaker, Wade.

00:08:47.560 --> 00:08:51.510
 How's it going, Wade?

00:08:51.510 --> 00:08:52.500
 Hey.

00:08:52.500 --> 00:08:53.490
 Thank you.

00:08:53.490 --> 00:08:58.190
 Long time listener, first time caller I guess, but actually Wade is the stage name.

00:08:58.190 --> 00:09:00.450
 My real name is Billy.

00:09:00.450 --> 00:09:01.800
 It's going pretty good.

00:09:01.800 --> 00:09:09.990
 Just wanted to kind of touch on, I guess, before the Word of God got completely refined

00:09:09.990 --> 00:09:16.670
 in the King James, I mean a lot of people forget that we had soul winners.

00:09:16.670 --> 00:09:22.710
 Early on they had Moses and the prophets, but how can I understand unless some man teach

00:09:22.710 --> 00:09:24.700
 me, right?

00:09:24.700 --> 00:09:30.730
 Before everything got refined in the King James, we still had people doing missions.

00:09:30.730 --> 00:09:35.920
 We had people preaching, soul winning, so the word was also preserved just through word

00:09:35.920 --> 00:09:40.910
 of mouth, through exactly what we're commanded to do as well.

00:09:40.910 --> 00:09:46.730
 That's a good point, and thanks for tuning in, thanks for calling in.

00:09:46.730 --> 00:09:54.710
 We're just kind of doing an ad hoc live stream space here, and we're trying to even get

00:09:54.710 --> 00:09:59.780
 it set up on Rumble too, but I've invited a couple other people that are going to possibly

00:09:59.780 --> 00:10:03.870
 come a little bit later, and maybe we might change the topics, but I really like talking

00:10:03.870 --> 00:10:08.760
 about the King James Bible right now, and it's such an impactful book.

00:10:08.760 --> 00:10:13.730
 It's literally changed the course of history, and I've even heard people speak about this

00:10:13.730 --> 00:10:19.730
 like Jordan Peterson, and Jordan Peterson is kind of saying the reason why the King

00:10:19.730 --> 00:10:27.260
 James Bible and the Bible is like the truth is because it kind of made itself the truth

00:10:27.260 --> 00:10:32.430
 by just existing, like because it was the standard, it just kind of became the truth

00:10:32.430 --> 00:10:35.400
 and just kind of came our worldview.

00:10:35.400 --> 00:10:37.560
 You know, I think that's almost like a secular way of looking at it.

00:10:37.560 --> 00:10:39.520
 I believe the King James Bible just is the truth.

00:10:39.520 --> 00:10:40.720
 It's just that simple.

00:10:40.720 --> 00:10:46.660
 It's not like this overcomplicated idea that, well, because we wrote it and it's an early

00:10:46.660 --> 00:10:50.610
 document, it just happens to be what we perceive as truth.

00:10:50.610 --> 00:10:54.200
 I don't think it's just perceived as truth, I think it is truth.

00:10:54.200 --> 00:11:00.150
 And I don't really subscribe to this secular argumentation when it comes to the Bible of

00:11:00.150 --> 00:11:02.270
 trying to prove everything with logic.

00:11:02.270 --> 00:11:05.250
 To me, sometimes it's just by faith, of course.

00:11:05.250 --> 00:11:10.420
 And of course I believe the King James Bible is the word of God and ultimately that's my

00:11:10.420 --> 00:11:13.090
 final reasoning for accepting it.

00:11:13.090 --> 00:11:17.480
 But what's convenient and nice about it is that when you believe the King James Bible

00:11:17.480 --> 00:11:22.290
 is the word of God, you see how true that is in every aspect of our life.

00:11:22.290 --> 00:11:27.500
 I actually did an interview with Dr. Stringer today for a new film project working on.

00:11:27.500 --> 00:11:32.410
 It's called One Nation Under God and I'm really looking forward to this film project.

00:11:32.410 --> 00:11:37.650
 We're going to talk about Christian heritage and Christian lineage and how our country

00:11:37.650 --> 00:11:45.560
 was really just built on Christian principles and for a large portion of it, the King James

00:11:45.560 --> 00:11:49.580
 Bible, of course the Geneva Bible is also influential for some of those early colonial

00:11:49.580 --> 00:11:54.840
 settlers. And the Geneva is, you know, good in a lot of places. But ultimately, the King James

00:11:54.840 --> 00:12:00.090
 Bible greatly influenced this nation. Our nation is what it is because of the Bible specifically,

00:12:00.090 --> 00:12:06.520
 and how we modeled our country after the language of the King James Bible. And that's what was

00:12:06.520 --> 00:12:13.460
 studied. That's what people use to read, to write, for law, to study law, to understand the law,

00:12:13.460 --> 00:12:19.450
 to build society, to build relationships. I mean, the reason why we love America so much is,

00:12:19.450 --> 00:12:24.600
 honestly, because of the King James Bible. And I think that people have forgotten that the reason

00:12:24.600 --> 00:12:28.170
 why we like the things that we have today is because it really just ultimately came from the

00:12:28.170 --> 00:12:32.660
 Bible. What is your thought about this project? And I know you're going to work on it with me.

00:12:32.660 --> 00:12:39.190
 I think it's a very important project because it demonstrates that this leftist idea that America

00:12:39.190 --> 00:12:46.400
 was always this secular state is completely false. And you're going to show that in this film.

00:12:46.400 --> 00:12:52.230
 And I'm excited to help you work on it. But also, Pastor Shelley, just to throw it back at you,

00:12:52.230 --> 00:12:58.390
 I'm curious about is there anything that you've unearthed so far in your research

00:12:58.390 --> 00:13:07.010
 that surprised you at all about American history as it relates to Christianity?

00:13:07.010 --> 00:13:10.200
 Was there anything at all that stuck out where you said, I didn't know that. Wow.

00:13:10.200 --> 00:13:16.060
 In terms of just how Christian America's roots truly are.

00:13:16.060 --> 00:13:24.360
 You know, I mean, honestly, I feel like I'm learning every day. I think I'm still in the

00:13:24.360 --> 00:13:28.750
 research phase for this project. So, you know, to me, some of the coolest things that I've learned

00:13:28.750 --> 00:13:36.480
 is just like Pennsylvania, specifically, you had to profess faith in Jesus Christ to be and hold

00:13:36.480 --> 00:13:42.010
 any political office. Additionally, Rhode Island, I didn't I learned this today in the interview with

00:13:42.010 --> 00:13:49.760
 Dr. Stringer, that specifically Rhode Island also had the exact same statute. And so I think that

00:13:49.760 --> 00:13:55.060
 that's just that's really unique. And I think a lot of people don't understand that. And so to me,

00:13:55.060 --> 00:14:04.430
 it's really important to explain how our nation had really like Christian laws. And so, you know,

00:14:04.430 --> 00:14:08.600
 I think it's crazy that people think that we're a secular nation. But I've had people literally

00:14:08.600 --> 00:14:15.300
 tell me that. Well, sure. I actually I work in law enforcement. And I've worked in two states,

00:14:15.300 --> 00:14:21.830
 South Carolina and Kentucky. And we had laws on the books that were based on Christian principles,

00:14:21.830 --> 00:14:26.290
 laws against sodomy, against homosexuality, and they were still in the books. And yeah,

00:14:26.290 --> 00:14:32.440
 this was I went through the police academy in 2007. They actually showed us these laws and said,

00:14:32.440 --> 00:14:36.160
 Yeah, but you can't enforce them because it's a violation of their rights. And it's like,

00:14:36.160 --> 00:14:39.950
 why are they still in the books then? But they're still they were still there, you know, then.

00:14:39.950 --> 00:14:49.920
 Yeah. And, you know, I think that people get confused because of this concept, which is not

00:14:49.920 --> 00:14:55.690
 in the Constitution. It's a interpretation, this, you know, separation of church and state.

00:14:55.690 --> 00:15:04.410
 And they even the First Amendment itself, they think somehow discredits the idea that Christianity

00:15:04.410 --> 00:15:09.750
 is what America was founded on. And it's what made America great. And, you know, people talk about

00:15:09.750 --> 00:15:14.350
 make America great again. Well, in my mind, you cannot make America great again until you make

00:15:14.350 --> 00:15:20.140
 America Christian again. And we go back to the values that put this country on the map to begin

00:15:20.140 --> 00:15:26.320
 with. So, to me, that's what I get a little frustrated because there's all this fervor

00:15:26.320 --> 00:15:31.150
 politically. And that's fine, you know, if you want to be into that stuff. But don't forget,

00:15:31.150 --> 00:15:33.810
 if you're going to get into politics and be all political and things like that,

00:15:33.810 --> 00:15:39.580
 don't forget what actually will solve the problem, the Lord Jesus Christ, and getting back to

00:15:39.580 --> 00:15:46.180
 the Bible as our authority as a society, because how in the hell could you have a country that

00:15:46.180 --> 00:15:52.870
 accomplishes anything when half the nation literally believes in giving puberty blockers

00:15:52.870 --> 00:16:00.410
 to their children? You can't, there's no unity. You can't have that. I know it's not necessarily

00:16:00.410 --> 00:16:03.980
 half the country. Well, what about, what about satanists? I brought this up in our discussion.

00:16:03.980 --> 00:16:08.300
 Satanists say that their religious liberty is to have abortions and to murder children.

00:16:08.300 --> 00:16:14.400
 So how is that? How can I have my religious liberties and them have their religious liberties?

00:16:14.400 --> 00:16:18.050
 They're incongruent. They're incompatible. How can, how about a Muslim? They're supposed

00:16:18.050 --> 00:16:22.770
 to be able to have four wives. That contradicts American law. And you know, this is the interesting

00:16:22.770 --> 00:16:27.080
 thing that we kind of teased out, but it's like, is there really such a thing as a law that's not

00:16:27.080 --> 00:16:32.490
 religious? And you know, from my viewpoint, there isn't, there's no such thing as a non-religious

00:16:32.490 --> 00:16:40.190
 law because they're all coming from a framework of morality that's based on your belief system.

00:16:40.190 --> 00:16:45.740
 And for the beginning of our country, our belief system as a nation, as a group of people was the

00:16:45.740 --> 00:16:51.710
 Bible is the word of God. That's where we should draw our laws from, not just mob rule, not just

00:16:51.710 --> 00:16:57.480
 this dictator is going to tell us what the rules are, Kim Jong-ul, not just, well, this is what so

00:16:57.480 --> 00:17:03.320
 and so did before but we're saying the King James Bible is our rule set and whether you like it or

00:17:03.320 --> 00:17:09.540
 not it was the most successful that we've ever seen in human history as far as providing individual

00:17:09.540 --> 00:17:14.710
 liberty and providing individual prosperity. Of course there's still nations today like communist

00:17:14.710 --> 00:17:19.480
 nations that have some level of strength and they have military might and they have some power but

00:17:19.480 --> 00:17:24.730
 they have no individual prosperity and they have no individual freedom. China, North Korea,

00:17:26.080 --> 00:17:31.140
 you know, look at all these different areas where there's no Christianity, there's no really

00:17:31.140 --> 00:17:36.520
 individual liberty. Obviously there's some people that are better off in a caste system like in India

00:17:36.520 --> 00:17:42.560
 or at the top of the communist pyramid but generally speaking it's kind of awful for the

00:17:42.560 --> 00:17:47.400
 vast majority of the population. Whereas you could argue that for a lot of America's history the

00:17:47.400 --> 00:17:52.320
 general populace has it pretty good and they have the opportunity to even make those changes and

00:17:52.320 --> 00:17:59.830
 that the decisions that they make can essentially the manifest destiny can control their future.

00:17:59.830 --> 00:18:05.710
 And so you know I think that's just a testimony to how the King James Bible and the word of God

00:18:05.710 --> 00:18:11.900
 is truth and even if you didn't believe it you'd have to say well even if it's not the truth it's

00:18:11.900 --> 00:18:17.450
 the best truth that's out there. If anything's true it's going to be that and so you know I

00:18:17.450 --> 00:18:21.890
 think that was really impactful. I really like the conversation. I'm glad to hear that because I

00:18:21.890 --> 00:18:25.550
 wasn't there so I don't know how it went. Oh it went great. You're going to love some of the

00:18:25.550 --> 00:18:30.980
 sound bites of this discussion. Awesome. That's really great to hear. Yeah I'm excited about

00:18:30.980 --> 00:18:37.010
 this project. I want to add to what you said. You had said our laws essentially are derived from

00:18:37.010 --> 00:18:43.530
 scripture okay and that they ought to be derived from scripture. Absolutely. Well doesn't it make

00:18:43.530 --> 00:18:51.940
 sense Pastor Shelley for there to be an external referent beyond humanity an external arbiter

00:18:51.940 --> 00:19:00.150
 by which we can adjudicate between two competing moral precepts. There has to be something beyond

00:19:00.150 --> 00:19:04.610
 humanity by which something like that can occur. Well if you're an atheist you don't believe that

00:19:04.610 --> 00:19:08.320
 of course but then there's no such thing as morality it's just simply whatever I want I win.

00:19:08.320 --> 00:19:13.790
 It's subjective. It's just it's selfishness. Selfishness is the rule of law and it's whoever

00:19:13.790 --> 00:19:18.400
 is the biggest the strongest. It's basically evolutionary teaching that the strongest will

00:19:18.400 --> 00:19:25.250
 survive whether that's mentally physically whatever is but by that means but the strong

00:19:25.250 --> 00:19:30.720
 will adapt and survive and the weak will perish and you know that's just not congruent with

00:19:30.720 --> 00:19:35.760
 what we see in the world you know this is I want to go to 1611 populace here in a moment

00:19:35.760 --> 00:19:41.760
 because we added him as a speaker but before I get there just just play out this rabbit

00:19:41.760 --> 00:19:45.180
 troll with me for a second and and I think you could this is the person I want to talk

00:19:45.180 --> 00:19:51.680
 to about this and I was thinking about this evolutionary teaching is that everything slowly

00:19:51.680 --> 00:19:58.800
 adapts over time and that they have quote beneficial mutations to help them survive

00:19:58.800 --> 00:20:06.380
 and so we see like slow adaptations and changes over time to you know to eventually combine

00:20:06.380 --> 00:20:11.270
 into maybe a major change right and then so they would say like rocks turned into promoted

00:20:11.270 --> 00:20:16.080
 promodial soup and soup turned into bacteria and then bacteria turned into some small

00:20:16.080 --> 00:20:20.390
 organism and those small organisms turned into fish and those fish turned into mammals

00:20:20.390 --> 00:20:24.250
 and those mammals you know amphibians maybe and they came out of the water and then they

00:20:24.250 --> 00:20:30.850
 grew wings and all this stuff right and I was just thinking like what about popcorn

00:20:30.850 --> 00:20:36.420
 and I was just thinking like at what point did corn decide that having the beneficial

00:20:36.420 --> 00:20:41.200
 mutation of that when corn kernels get really hot they turn into delicious popcorn like

00:20:41.200 --> 00:20:48.670
 why did it that evolve you know and I'm just like to me popcorn is just such an obvious

00:20:48.670 --> 00:20:55.910
 clear example of the fact that God created the world and that he created amazing interesting

00:20:55.910 --> 00:21:01.160
 things like corn that not only is corn just delicious and you could turn it in I mean

00:21:01.160 --> 00:21:05.190
 corn you can just eat right corn then you can also grind up into meal and you could

00:21:05.190 --> 00:21:11.230
 make corn meal and that corn meal then you can make tortillas and breads and all cornbread

00:21:11.230 --> 00:21:16.090
 all kinds of different things not only that you can literally just heat up a corn kernel

00:21:16.090 --> 00:21:23.100
 to the point where it pops into delicious popcorn like how is that not just amazing

00:21:23.100 --> 00:21:27.740
 that that exists and I'm just thinking like how could I ever think that popcorn was just

00:21:27.740 --> 00:21:32.610
 sitting there thinking like you know what I just need to turn myself into popcorn eventually

00:21:32.610 --> 00:21:37.670
 to you know adapt over time or something like there's just no way because in order for it

00:21:37.670 --> 00:21:42.970
 to even do that it's dead like it didn't even know that that was going to happen necessarily

00:21:42.970 --> 00:21:46.520
 and it was probably by accident that mankind even discovered like they were cooking corn

00:21:46.520 --> 00:21:51.740
 too hard or threw it in fire on accident and it popped they're like what was that and then

00:21:51.740 --> 00:21:59.030
 they're like oh man this is awesome like popcorn like am I just crazy or was I just being like

00:21:59.030 --> 00:22:04.090
 a little over the top or am I just like isn't popcorn just like an interesting testimony

00:22:04.090 --> 00:22:06.590
 to how it's not evolution it's basically special creation?

00:22:06.590 --> 00:22:13.240
 Yeah I think it shows the creativity of the Lord Jesus Christ our creator who created

00:22:13.240 --> 00:22:19.360
 the world that something like popcorn exists and I also think it shows that it wasn't

00:22:19.360 --> 00:22:28.220
 an accident that it wasn't some sort of genetic accident that somehow it just so happens by

00:22:28.220 --> 00:22:35.140
 coincidence that when those kernels pop they create this very delicious snack.

00:22:35.140 --> 00:22:36.120
 So I'm with you.

00:22:36.120 --> 00:22:39.600
 Right like they'll talk about microevolution and they'll say like certain animals that

00:22:39.600 --> 00:22:45.730
 are prey that their fur coats maybe blend with the environment better and so they survived

00:22:45.730 --> 00:22:49.990
 longer because the predators couldn't see them as well and they were able to escape

00:22:49.990 --> 00:22:56.500
 and you can see how like maybe a certain type of bunny or deer their skin color or skin

00:22:56.500 --> 00:23:03.710
 coat maybe was more like better than another one and so one population is kind of destroyed

00:23:03.710 --> 00:23:07.330
 while the other one survives but I'm just like at what point was it like this corn produces

00:23:07.330 --> 00:23:12.110
 popcorn like you know the corn was sitting here like we're not doing very hot as corn

00:23:12.110 --> 00:23:17.430
 yeah but if we could make popcorn then people would like us I agree there would be no beneficial

00:23:17.430 --> 00:23:26.220
 mutation there like popcorn wouldn't in my mind constitute a beneficial mutation I'm

00:23:26.220 --> 00:23:29.560
 with you I think I get where you're coming from there and I'm with you I don't know

00:23:29.560 --> 00:23:33.350
 why I just thought that but that is a random thought like were you eating pot no no I was

00:23:33.350 --> 00:23:38.970
 watching someone make popcorn on TV and it does it like I just thought of it okay so

00:23:38.970 --> 00:23:44.970
 let's go to 1611 populace hey how's it going I'm going good I'm hoping you guys are having

00:23:44.970 --> 00:23:56.050
 a great Sunday great always a great Sunday so there's some talking about kind of Christian

00:23:56.050 --> 00:24:02.620
 history in America there's a couple of a really cool tidbits about a Baptist history that

00:24:02.620 --> 00:24:05.830
 I kind of wanted to bring up and you've probably already studied I'm not a hundred percent

00:24:05.830 --> 00:24:12.990
 sure but uh one talking about Rhode Island uh Roger Williams the guy who was the founder

00:24:12.990 --> 00:24:17.000
 of Rhode Island was actually the founder of the First Baptist Church in America which

00:24:17.000 --> 00:24:26.750
 is always cool uh John Ganow uh pastor that baptized George Washington was a Baptist I

00:24:26.750 --> 00:24:33.640
 don't think Washington ever identified as a Baptist but he uh he actually Ganow founded

00:24:33.640 --> 00:24:38.030
 several Baptist churches in the Virginia area and actually uh crossed the Delaware with

00:24:38.030 --> 00:24:43.340
 Washington and he was a Baptist pastor and the other thing I kind of wanted to bring

00:24:43.340 --> 00:24:52.970
 up is uh the trial of Patrick Henry and Lewis and Elijah Craig now that one uh so Lewis

00:24:52.970 --> 00:24:57.440
 and Elijah Craig were two Baptist preachers in Virginia when it was an Anglican state

00:24:57.440 --> 00:25:04.520
 at the time and um they got arrested and charged with on the official Virginia state records

00:25:04.520 --> 00:25:09.150
 of preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ that was the crime they were charged with by the

00:25:09.150 --> 00:25:16.350
 Anglican church so when they were in court a young lawyer kind of not known at the time

00:25:16.350 --> 00:25:24.010
 named Patrick Henry was uh their defendant and that case he actually got them off scot-free

00:25:24.010 --> 00:25:30.330
 and allow them to continue preaching in Virginia and that case is what jumpstarted Patrick

00:25:30.330 --> 00:25:37.410
 Henry's career all the way up until the give me liberty or give me death pamphlet and that's

00:25:37.410 --> 00:25:39.210
 kind of what I wanted to bring up.

00:25:39.210 --> 00:25:44.410
 No I appreciate that I was looking up John Ganot while you were speaking because I don't

00:25:44.410 --> 00:25:45.400
 know anything about him.

00:25:45.400 --> 00:25:49.720
 I definitely know a little bit about Roger Williams and I like that point.

00:25:49.720 --> 00:25:55.350
 So John Ganot according to Wikipedia he was actually raised a Presbyterian and his father

00:25:55.350 --> 00:26:01.200
 was a descendant of French Calvinists but his mother was an English Baptist and then

00:26:01.200 --> 00:26:06.820
 he said after he got saved he became a Calvinist Baptist.

00:26:06.820 --> 00:26:13.050
 He was ordained in New Jersey and he became the founding pastor of what became the first

00:26:13.050 --> 00:26:15.950
 Baptist church in the city of New York.

00:26:15.950 --> 00:26:23.580
 He was the pastor there until 1787 so he started in 1760 then to 1787.

00:26:23.580 --> 00:26:30.570
 So definitely interesting, I don't know a lot about John Ganot but some good points.

00:26:30.570 --> 00:26:36.940
 I also believe the first Baptist was John Smith, I think as accredited as that in England.

00:26:36.940 --> 00:26:43.270
 I actually did a whole sermon on Christian, kind of like a Christian timeline of Baptist

00:26:43.270 --> 00:26:44.270
 lineage.

00:26:44.270 --> 00:26:46.440
 When was that?

00:26:46.440 --> 00:26:47.430
 It was in Sansom Park.

00:26:47.430 --> 00:26:48.420
 I don't think you had moved yet.

00:26:48.420 --> 00:26:49.410
 No I haven't.

00:26:49.410 --> 00:26:50.400
 To the church.

00:26:50.400 --> 00:26:51.390
 So I preached a whole sermon on this.

00:26:51.390 --> 00:26:52.380
 Do you want to repreach that sometime?

00:26:52.380 --> 00:26:53.370
 I probably need to.

00:26:53.370 --> 00:26:54.360
 I'd like to.

00:26:54.360 --> 00:26:57.140
 I actually went from the first Baptist to steadfast.

00:26:57.140 --> 00:26:58.080
 And so I just kind of...

00:26:58.080 --> 00:26:59.110
 Pretty cool.

00:26:59.110 --> 00:27:00.100
 And like, here's the thing.

00:27:00.100 --> 00:27:03.920
 There's a little bit of a viewpoint called Landmarkism or Baptist Briders.

00:27:03.920 --> 00:27:04.910
 What is that?

00:27:04.910 --> 00:27:05.910
 I'm not sure, frankly.

00:27:05.910 --> 00:27:06.900
 Yeah.

00:27:06.900 --> 00:27:08.850
 I don't really subscribe to this viewpoint, but it's this idea there's always been like

00:27:08.850 --> 00:27:14.480
 this unbroken lineage of Baptist churches from John the Baptist to us.

00:27:14.480 --> 00:27:16.920
 And I don't really subscribe to that.

00:27:16.920 --> 00:27:19.930
 So each church begat the other one in an unbroken chain?

00:27:19.930 --> 00:27:21.150
 Yeah.

00:27:21.150 --> 00:27:22.130
 Like obviously I believe in...

00:27:22.130 --> 00:27:23.100
 Like salvation?

00:27:23.100 --> 00:27:24.080
 I believe in the unbroken chain of salvation personal.

00:27:24.080 --> 00:27:26.750
 But not with churches?

00:27:26.750 --> 00:27:27.850
 Probably not.

00:27:27.850 --> 00:27:29.290
 All right.

00:27:29.290 --> 00:27:32.890
 And again, like from my viewpoint, there's probably been just a lot of different starting

00:27:32.890 --> 00:27:33.880
 points.

00:27:33.880 --> 00:27:38.010
 Like there's been times where it kind of dwindled and then it kind of kickstarted, restarted.

00:27:38.010 --> 00:27:44.130
 And so, you know, it's kind of a muddy history as far as how church congregations go.

00:27:44.130 --> 00:27:45.810
 Are independent Baptists Protestants?

00:27:45.810 --> 00:27:48.630
 See, that's a good question.

00:27:48.630 --> 00:27:50.920
 And I would say no.

00:27:50.920 --> 00:27:54.540
 But it's kind of a complicated question because number one, I think you have to first say

00:27:54.540 --> 00:28:00.890
 that Protestants are trying to reform the Catholic Church and I'm not trying to reform

00:28:00.890 --> 00:28:03.910
 the Catholic Church, I'm rejecting the Catholic Church.

00:28:03.910 --> 00:28:09.410
 But I believe that Protestantism came from a mixed multitude of people that wanted both.

00:28:09.410 --> 00:28:14.160
 Some people kind of want to just reject and start over and then others wanted to reform.

00:28:14.160 --> 00:28:19.820
 So like the Puritans and the Calvinists, they kind of were like, "Let's start over."

00:28:19.820 --> 00:28:22.830
 They basically said like everything the Catholic Church is doing is wrong.

00:28:22.830 --> 00:28:25.650
 And then you kind of have like a lot of the reformers that are saying, "Well, the Anglican

00:28:25.650 --> 00:28:30.430
 Church, the Catholic Church was off and we're going to kind of do it right."

00:28:30.430 --> 00:28:33.830
 And of course you have the Great Schism way before this where you have the Greek Orthodox

00:28:33.830 --> 00:28:37.480
 Church splitting from the Roman Catholics, but I'm just kind of focusing on what you

00:28:37.480 --> 00:28:39.070
 said about the Protestants.

00:28:39.070 --> 00:28:44.550
 I would say that from that movement of Protestantism though came other people that were rejecting

00:28:44.550 --> 00:28:50.150
 the Catholic Church as a whole, starting their own kind of churches and then they kind of

00:28:50.150 --> 00:28:51.730
 slowly over time evolved.

00:28:51.730 --> 00:28:57.290
 I don't want to re-preach a sermon in five seconds, but it's kind of like John Smith

00:28:57.290 --> 00:29:01.160
 is coming from the Protestant movement, but he's not trying to reform the Catholic Church,

00:29:01.160 --> 00:29:02.140
 he's starting over.

00:29:02.140 --> 00:29:05.090
 You kind of have the Baptist movement starting.

00:29:05.090 --> 00:29:06.160
 He brings it to America.

00:29:06.160 --> 00:29:09.370
 Roger Williams and others create some of the early American Baptist churches.

00:29:09.370 --> 00:29:12.390
 There's about seven kind of in the early colonial times.

00:29:12.390 --> 00:29:14.880
 They formed like an American Baptist Association.

00:29:14.880 --> 00:29:19.880
 That grew and then maybe in the 1800s, it was a big schism between the Northern and

00:29:19.880 --> 00:29:23.790
 Southern Baptist churches where the Southern Baptist Church separated from the Northern

00:29:23.790 --> 00:29:27.440
 Baptist Churches over the issue of slavery and you have the Southern Baptist Movement.

00:29:27.440 --> 00:29:29.180
 Out of the Southern Baptist Movement though, you got to think about this.

00:29:29.180 --> 00:29:35.700
 Jack Hiles was ordained as a pastor of a Southern Baptist Church and then he separated

00:29:35.700 --> 00:29:38.940
 from the Southern Baptist Movement, became an independent Baptist and he's personally

00:29:38.940 --> 00:29:45.710
 started a lot of independent Baptist Churches in this country and our sending pastor, Pastor

00:29:45.710 --> 00:29:51.120
 Steven Anderson was from Regency Baptist Church which kind of describes the landmark viewpoint

00:29:51.120 --> 00:29:55.810
 but he also went to House Anderson influenced by Jack Hiles greatly so you could almost

00:29:55.810 --> 00:29:58.810
 make this tie a loose tie of that.

00:29:58.810 --> 00:30:02.950
 But I say this, it's like there's a lot of people who are raised Catholic and then they

00:30:02.950 --> 00:30:06.290
 later get saved and leave the Catholic Church and become a Baptist.

00:30:06.290 --> 00:30:13.020
 I wouldn't say that they are, their origin of their faith came from Catholicism, right?

00:30:13.020 --> 00:30:16.510
 Even though they were a Catholic at one point, that's not the origin.

00:30:16.510 --> 00:30:19.400
 Their origin was when they believed in Jesus Christ and they got saved, when they kind

00:30:19.400 --> 00:30:21.030
 of rejected the Catholic Church.

00:30:21.030 --> 00:30:24.710
 So I'd almost say like, our lineage is from like a rejection of the Catholic Church, not

00:30:24.710 --> 00:30:29.330
 from that as our source, if that's kind of a fair way to put it.

00:30:29.330 --> 00:30:35.890
 Well, I think when you parallel an individual getting saved and leaving the Catholic Church,

00:30:35.890 --> 00:30:39.240
 that helps me comprehend better what you're describing there.

00:30:39.240 --> 00:30:40.230
 So that makes sense.

00:30:40.230 --> 00:30:43.750
 Yeah, I think like a lot, you look at a lot of people that I look up to, like William

00:30:43.750 --> 00:30:50.080
 Tindale, and again, in all fairness, the Catholic Church in the 1600s, the 1500s, the 1400s.

00:30:50.080 --> 00:30:51.430
 There was a change.

00:30:51.430 --> 00:30:55.070
 No, I'm just saying this, there's a lot of diversity of opinions.

00:30:55.070 --> 00:30:56.850
 Why do you think they had the Council of Trent?

00:30:56.850 --> 00:31:01.190
 It's because a lot of Catholic churches had deviated from Catholic teaching, and some

00:31:01.190 --> 00:31:04.830
 Catholics are teaching salvation by faith, and some Catholics are teaching it's by works,

00:31:04.830 --> 00:31:09.270
 and so then they come together, create the Council of Trent, and condemn justification

00:31:09.270 --> 00:31:10.260
 by faith.

00:31:10.260 --> 00:31:11.260
 Gotcha.

00:31:11.260 --> 00:31:13.520
 Why is it that William Tindale's literally burned at the stake for believing in justification

00:31:13.520 --> 00:31:17.130
 by faith, and he's a former Catholic priest?

00:31:17.130 --> 00:31:21.160
 It's because some Catholics were actually getting saved and reading their Bible and

00:31:21.160 --> 00:31:25.580
 realizing like, "Whoa, the Catholic Church is screwed up on this."

00:31:25.580 --> 00:31:30.130
 And so I believe that there's plenty of people that had gotten saved, but back then the Catholic

00:31:30.130 --> 00:31:31.790
 Church is part of the state.

00:31:31.790 --> 00:31:42.280
 So you can't really ignore the Catholic Church because it's part of society, almost.

00:31:42.280 --> 00:31:43.710
 It's part of the government.

00:31:43.710 --> 00:31:44.810
 You know what I mean?

00:31:44.810 --> 00:31:46.730
 So I want to go back to Jared here.

00:31:46.730 --> 00:31:49.080
 I'll let you ask another question here.

00:31:49.080 --> 00:31:54.190
 I don't know if we answered or satisfied your question earlier, but thanks 1611 for your

00:31:54.190 --> 00:31:55.170
 thoughts there.

00:31:55.170 --> 00:31:59.210
 Jared, what would you want to say?

00:31:59.210 --> 00:32:02.400
 Yeah, great conversation.

00:32:02.400 --> 00:32:10.140
 Yeah, your answers that you provided earlier to my question were clarifying, but I did

00:32:10.140 --> 00:32:14.880
 have a follow-up about the King James Bible, if that's okay?

00:32:14.880 --> 00:32:17.680
 Yes, please go for it.

00:32:17.680 --> 00:32:25.620
 Okay, yeah, so it sounds like your position is that you can still have an authoritative

00:32:25.620 --> 00:32:36.750
 text even allowing for some amount of variation based on what I heard you saying about the

00:32:36.750 --> 00:32:43.890
 prior English translations and referring to even some other previous translations saying

00:32:43.890 --> 00:32:46.870
 they still have an authoritative source.

00:32:46.870 --> 00:32:56.990
 So you guys aren't so hardcore that it has to be 100%, these words, some amount of variation

00:32:56.990 --> 00:33:01.470
 is acceptable and you can still have an authoritative source.

00:33:01.470 --> 00:33:04.940
 Yes, of course.

00:33:04.940 --> 00:33:10.790
 Okay, all right, well that seems more reasonable to me than some other positions that I've

00:33:10.790 --> 00:33:13.530
 heard on KJVO.

00:33:13.530 --> 00:33:22.140
 So would you guys be, how would you feel about somebody using the new King James?

00:33:22.140 --> 00:33:28.350
 Well here's the thing, in our documentary, The Preserved Bible, we kind of tried to address

00:33:28.350 --> 00:33:33.740
 this distinction between King James onlyus, because some King James onlyus, which we kind

00:33:33.740 --> 00:33:39.000
 of label, and sometimes they label themselves as a Rukmanite, they would say that you can't

00:33:39.000 --> 00:33:44.090
 alter anything in the King James Bible without it corrupting the text.

00:33:44.090 --> 00:33:49.010
 And that would mean like replacing a word that's a synonym or even changing word order

00:33:49.010 --> 00:33:50.600
 or sometimes even spellings.

00:33:50.600 --> 00:33:53.780
 They get that crazy and we don't really subscribe to that.

00:33:53.780 --> 00:33:59.830
 I would say as long as the text is communicating the exact same thing and you're not missing

00:33:59.830 --> 00:34:07.220
 any words from the original text in far as meaning is concerned, then I believe it's

00:34:07.220 --> 00:34:08.210
 still the word of God.

00:34:08.210 --> 00:34:11.660
 And that's what the translators to the reader communicated and I agree with that.

00:34:11.660 --> 00:34:14.230
 Obviously, when you're translating from one language to another, you're never going to

00:34:14.230 --> 00:34:16.010
 have a word for word match.

00:34:16.010 --> 00:34:20.820
 And so, sometimes it may be three words on one language, it's four words in another.

00:34:20.820 --> 00:34:24.750
 But you're not necessarily removing a word or adding a word, you're communicating the

00:34:24.750 --> 00:34:25.750
 exact same thing.

00:34:25.750 --> 00:34:26.740
 Or idioms even.

00:34:26.740 --> 00:34:30.490
 Yeah, just sometimes the message has to be communicated in different words.

00:34:30.490 --> 00:34:34.890
 When you look at a Tyndale, Bishops and King James, it sometimes uses a little bit different

00:34:34.890 --> 00:34:38.440
 language or synonyms, but it says the exact same thing.

00:34:38.440 --> 00:34:44.330
 You're never going to be thinking something different based on either verse construction.

00:34:44.330 --> 00:34:48.320
 And then ultimately, I would say they're both the Word of God and they're both authoritative.

00:34:48.320 --> 00:34:52.920
 When it comes to the new King James, there is a few places where the new King James,

00:34:52.920 --> 00:34:56.730
 I believe, departs from the text or septus, departs from the King James, and says something

00:34:56.730 --> 00:34:58.910
 different than the King James.

00:34:58.910 --> 00:35:01.240
 And so that's what I take offense with.

00:35:01.240 --> 00:35:04.520
 The new King James is pretty faithful to the King James, and I grew up on the new King

00:35:04.520 --> 00:35:05.510
 James.

00:35:05.510 --> 00:35:10.910
 But there are, in my opinion, several places where it's very importantly different.

00:35:10.910 --> 00:35:17.270
 Like Matthew 7, I believe it's verse 14, it says specifically in the King James that narrow

00:35:17.270 --> 00:35:21.380
 is the way which leads to the life, and the new King James says it's difficult.

00:35:21.380 --> 00:35:26.820
 And if you look at John MacArthur's study Bible, it explicitly states that salvation

00:35:26.820 --> 00:35:28.570
 is difficult.

00:35:28.570 --> 00:35:31.480
 And the King James does not communicate that message.

00:35:31.480 --> 00:35:34.110
 It communicates that it's a one way, because there's only one way to heaven is through

00:35:34.110 --> 00:35:35.820
 Jesus Christ by faith alone.

00:35:35.820 --> 00:35:37.650
 But it's not difficult, it's easy.

00:35:37.650 --> 00:35:41.880
 And John MacArthur believes it's hard and difficult because he believes it works salvation

00:35:41.880 --> 00:35:44.860
 and because he's not saved and he's a heretic.

00:35:44.860 --> 00:35:48.090
 And so, you know, I don't believe people should use the New King James.

00:35:48.090 --> 00:35:52.140
 I grew up in a church that was New King James only, if you can believe that.

00:35:52.140 --> 00:35:55.030
 But yeah, it's kind of interesting.

00:35:55.030 --> 00:35:58.360
 But you know, I believe the King James is superior.

00:35:58.360 --> 00:36:00.180
 It's the accurate preserved translation.

00:36:00.180 --> 00:36:04.740
 And look, if the New King James said the same thing, I wouldn't really fight against it.

00:36:04.740 --> 00:36:08.080
 It's just it really does say a lot of different things in a lot of different places.

00:36:08.080 --> 00:36:13.890
 First Corinthians 1.18 also says that you're being saved as opposed to you are saved.

00:36:13.890 --> 00:36:15.040
 I actually have a whole list of this.

00:36:15.040 --> 00:36:20.060
 If you go to GodResource.com, you go to KJV, and then you go to comparison chart, I have

00:36:20.060 --> 00:36:26.810
 a complete comparison chart with over 70 or 80 examples of discrepancies between the NIV,

00:36:26.810 --> 00:36:29.450
 New American Standard, New King James, and the King James.

00:36:29.450 --> 00:36:34.200
 And it explains the diverse differences and why I think that they're an issue.

00:36:34.200 --> 00:36:35.300
 And that's just a small list.

00:36:35.300 --> 00:36:36.290
 There's way more than that.

00:36:36.290 --> 00:36:41.040
 There are plenty of other websites that are great and talk about this issue as well.

00:36:41.040 --> 00:36:46.950
 So the differences that you're okay with are just synonym differences.

00:36:46.950 --> 00:36:55.300
 So if there was a verse that's actually communicated something slightly different, then...

00:36:55.300 --> 00:37:01.800
 So you're saying that all the previous English versions that you guys would consider acceptable,

00:37:01.800 --> 00:37:03.260
 they all say the same thing.

00:37:03.260 --> 00:37:04.870
 They just use different words.

00:37:04.870 --> 00:37:08.980
 There aren't any verses that say something slightly different.

00:37:08.980 --> 00:37:13.210
 No, there's a few differences, and I think that's where the refining process comes in.

00:37:13.210 --> 00:37:17.630
 The King James obviously needed to be done because there was some imperfections.

00:37:17.630 --> 00:37:20.790
 There was a few places where maybe it didn't line up with the Greek and the Hebrew correctly

00:37:20.790 --> 00:37:22.220
 and it needed to be corrected.

00:37:22.220 --> 00:37:25.010
 And so I think that that's why you did...

00:37:25.010 --> 00:37:28.740
 To me, the reason why we wouldn't use the King James is we noticed there is still some

00:37:28.740 --> 00:37:32.100
 issues and we need to refine the text one more time.

00:37:32.100 --> 00:37:36.370
 But as Ronald Reagan famously said, it has been gotten right.

00:37:36.370 --> 00:37:43.500
 So it's been gotten right, we've got it, we don't need to update it anymore.

00:37:43.500 --> 00:37:48.100
 Unless English evolved to a language that's completely different, we're good.

00:37:48.100 --> 00:37:51.150
 Now again, if it evolved to a different language, then it's a different language.

00:37:51.150 --> 00:37:53.000
 I mean, have a different language Bible.

00:37:53.000 --> 00:37:56.350
 But I think that English itself is settled.

00:37:56.350 --> 00:38:01.210
 King James Bible, it's settled, we'll never need to change, we never need to update it.

00:38:01.210 --> 00:38:04.350
 And that would be the case with any language, if there's a new language that came out, I

00:38:04.350 --> 00:38:09.460
 wouldn't necessarily expect the first translation to come out is always necessarily dialed in.

00:38:09.460 --> 00:38:12.460
 Maybe it does take a few refinements.

00:38:12.460 --> 00:38:15.480
 And especially considering the heritage of the King James Bible because many of the men

00:38:15.480 --> 00:38:19.540
 translating it were on the run for their life, they were fighting against the Catholic Church,

00:38:19.540 --> 00:38:22.810
 they were having to do it in secret, maybe by themselves.

00:38:22.810 --> 00:38:27.730
 And it wasn't really until the King James translation where you got 50 plus scholars

00:38:27.730 --> 00:38:31.620
 all sitting around together, taking seven years, taking their time and dialing it in,

00:38:31.620 --> 00:38:36.330
 and I think that's why it got dialed in at the time that it did.

00:38:36.330 --> 00:38:40.430
 And again, if a New King James or a modern version says the same thing, I'm not going

00:38:40.430 --> 00:38:41.820
 to argue with it.

00:38:41.820 --> 00:38:44.460
 It's just that there's plenty of places where it doesn't say the same thing, and that's

00:38:44.460 --> 00:38:45.450
 what I get mad about.

00:38:45.450 --> 00:38:46.440
 Yeah.

00:38:46.440 --> 00:38:52.120
 And just a few more examples in the King James Bible, it says, "Obstain from all appearance

00:38:52.120 --> 00:38:53.400
 of evil."

00:38:53.400 --> 00:38:55.110
 The New King James says--

00:38:55.110 --> 00:38:57.000
 Rejects every evil.

00:38:57.000 --> 00:39:02.290
 It says, "Obstain from every form of evil," which is essentially what you're saying.

00:39:02.290 --> 00:39:08.730
 And then you have in the book of Hebrews, it says in the King James Bible, Hebrews 2,

00:39:08.730 --> 00:39:12.590
 16, "For verily, he took not on him the nature of angels."

00:39:12.590 --> 00:39:16.970
 The New King James says, "For indeed, he does not give aid to angels."

00:39:16.970 --> 00:39:18.890
 So these are two different concepts.

00:39:18.890 --> 00:39:22.090
 Obviously, we have major issues with Matthew 7, 14.

00:39:22.090 --> 00:39:26.290
 We have issues with 1 Corinthians 1, 18, but those are just some other examples of

00:39:26.290 --> 00:39:31.920
 the New King James saying something that is completely different or even the opposite

00:39:31.920 --> 00:39:33.550
 of what the King James Bible says.

00:39:33.550 --> 00:39:37.290
 So here's the thing about the New King James that I think confuses people.

00:39:37.290 --> 00:39:43.570
 It does claim to translate from the same source text as the King James Bible, the received

00:39:43.570 --> 00:39:44.780
 text of scripture.

00:39:44.780 --> 00:39:53.650
 However, it often deviates from the received text and in doing so, agrees with the other

00:39:53.650 --> 00:39:55.610
 modern versions.

00:39:55.610 --> 00:39:56.600
 That's the first thing.

00:39:56.600 --> 00:40:01.830
 The second thing about the New King James is that it includes, in the marginal notes,

00:40:01.830 --> 00:40:08.370
 it includes notes that cast doubt on the text and tell you what the critical text says.

00:40:08.370 --> 00:40:12.150
 It tells you what UBS 5 and Nestle Allen's 28th edition says.

00:40:12.150 --> 00:40:14.460
 Well, in all fairness, any Bible could do that.

00:40:14.460 --> 00:40:18.370
 You could get a Scofield King James that has bad notes and you could buy a New King James

00:40:18.370 --> 00:40:19.370
 that has no notes.

00:40:19.370 --> 00:40:21.680
 So, I think the notes is a separate issue.

00:40:21.680 --> 00:40:25.360
 But I agree with you that a lot of New King James have bad notes or the footnotes say

00:40:25.360 --> 00:40:29.050
 some really big discrepancies.

00:40:29.050 --> 00:40:37.350
 And just to echo the sentiment, you know, if hypothetically there was a Bible that said

00:40:37.350 --> 00:40:42.470
 the same thing as the King James Bible but it just updated the language, I wouldn't have

00:40:42.470 --> 00:40:43.660
 a problem.

00:40:43.660 --> 00:40:45.210
 I personally would not have a problem with it.

00:40:45.210 --> 00:40:47.230
 But the New King James does not do that.

00:40:47.230 --> 00:40:52.420
 It actually makes consequential changes that affect meaning and affect doctrine.

00:40:52.420 --> 00:40:54.190
 And that's what our issue is.

00:40:54.190 --> 00:40:55.920
 And they both can't be right.

00:40:55.920 --> 00:40:57.620
 Exactly.

00:40:57.620 --> 00:41:04.650
 Do you think there's a way to interpret Matthew 7?

00:41:04.650 --> 00:41:12.920
 So if it's translated wrong, right, if it should be narrow and not difficult, then that's

00:41:12.920 --> 00:41:14.210
 a good point.

00:41:14.210 --> 00:41:17.810
 But I think even if you had difficult, I think there's a way to interpret that that would

00:41:17.810 --> 00:41:25.570
 be consistent with other KJV texts like Acts 14 22 where it says, "Confirming the souls

00:41:25.570 --> 00:41:31.690
 of the disciples and exhorting them to continue in the faith in that we must through much

00:41:31.690 --> 00:41:34.770
 tribulation enter the kingdom of God."

00:41:34.770 --> 00:41:40.020
 So I think most Baptists would hear that and say, "Yeah, I mean, living the Christian life

00:41:40.020 --> 00:41:47.100
 is difficult and there's hardship and tribulation and being faithful to Christ is not easy.

00:41:47.100 --> 00:41:54.290
 It's a difficult path and it's not necessarily saying that justification is difficult to

00:41:54.290 --> 00:41:55.270
 receive."

00:41:55.270 --> 00:42:02.300
 Yeah, exactly, but couldn't you interpret Matthew 7 that way and just say it's a difficult

00:42:02.300 --> 00:42:07.640
 path to enter the kingdom of God, not saying that salvation itself is difficult.

00:42:07.640 --> 00:42:12.210
 Well, that's the argument I usually hear and even like another passage that's similar

00:42:12.210 --> 00:42:17.650
 to what you're describing is John 3.36 because in the King James it says, "He that believeth

00:42:17.650 --> 00:42:21.280
 on the Son hath everlasting life," or "He that believeth on the Son hath life and he

00:42:21.280 --> 00:42:32.940
 that believeth not the Son shall not see life but the wrath of God abideth on him."

00:42:32.940 --> 00:42:37.200
 In the modern versions it doesn't say, "Believeth not," it says, "Obey."

00:42:37.200 --> 00:42:41.860
 And then I've heard people say, "Well, you could just interpret that word obey as obey

00:42:41.860 --> 00:42:44.310
 the gospel," meaning they didn't believe.

00:42:44.310 --> 00:42:49.300
 And again, to me that's a cop-out because most of the people that subscribe to the modern

00:42:49.300 --> 00:42:52.790
 versions and use this language end up interpreting it the other way.

00:42:52.790 --> 00:42:58.830
 And I think that if obey means believe not, then let's just put believe not.

00:42:58.830 --> 00:43:05.230
 And if the context of Matthew 7 is about salvation and going to heaven, then let's not put difficult,

00:43:05.230 --> 00:43:08.860
 let's put narrow because that's what we're communicating.

00:43:08.860 --> 00:43:12.140
 But even if it's a doctrinal issue, it doesn't really matter what the doctrine is, it just

00:43:12.140 --> 00:43:14.000
 matters what the Greek text says.

00:43:14.000 --> 00:43:19.230
 And I believe that the King James is faithful to what the Greek text says and these other

00:43:19.230 --> 00:43:20.210
 ones don't.

00:43:20.210 --> 00:43:27.910
 I want to go to another speaker here for a second, Baptist Meme, how's it going?

00:43:27.910 --> 00:43:30.060
 Baptist Meme Factory, sorry.

00:43:30.060 --> 00:43:36.340
 Howdy guys, long time listener, love your documentaries, just wanted to have a chance

00:43:36.340 --> 00:43:42.730
 to say thank you before I go to bed, got to get up early in the morning.

00:43:42.730 --> 00:43:48.570
 One quick comment though before I leave, you guys were talking about going to the English

00:43:48.570 --> 00:43:55.260
 from the Hebrew and the Greek, I'd like to point out in Zephaniah chapter 3 verse 9,

00:43:55.260 --> 00:44:02.500
 "For then will I turn to the people a pure language, that they may all call upon the

00:44:02.500 --> 00:44:07.780
 name of the Lord to serve Him with one consent."

00:44:07.780 --> 00:44:14.790
 Great verse, thanks so much for the opportunity.

00:44:14.790 --> 00:44:21.640
 I love it, thank you very much Pastor Shelley for all of your documentaries, keep up the

00:44:21.640 --> 00:44:23.790
 good work.

00:44:23.790 --> 00:44:32.650
 It's just, to me, it's weird that a Bible is gonna supposedly translate from the TR,

00:44:32.650 --> 00:44:42.010
 but then it's constantly appealing to the critical text and even, you know, I know you're

00:44:42.010 --> 00:44:48.540
 not a fan of necessarily the talking point about the footnotes, but to me it just shows

00:44:48.540 --> 00:44:56.020
 how it's still respecting the critical text and trying to tell you what it says and casting

00:44:56.020 --> 00:45:00.340
 doubt on the actual text to tell you what the critical text, it's like I don't care

00:45:00.340 --> 00:45:04.510
 what UBS-5 says or NA-28, you know what I mean?

00:45:04.510 --> 00:45:13.790
 Well, I mean this issue is a big issue and I think that, you know, I love talking about

00:45:13.790 --> 00:45:18.590
 the detail, but I think at the end of the day we have to just try and simplify it because

00:45:18.590 --> 00:45:21.360
 most people aren't going to care about the nuance, aren't going to care about these

00:45:21.360 --> 00:45:22.720
 things.

00:45:22.720 --> 00:45:25.570
 I think it's, let's just try to narrow it down to simplicity.

00:45:25.570 --> 00:45:26.960
 Which TR?

00:45:26.960 --> 00:45:32.070
 The King James Bible and modern versions don't say the same thing in every place.

00:45:32.070 --> 00:45:34.030
 They both can't be right.

00:45:34.030 --> 00:45:39.000
 The King James Bible has shown incredible fruit for the last 400 years.

00:45:39.000 --> 00:45:42.270
 The modern versions have shown all kinds of heresy.

00:45:42.270 --> 00:45:44.230
 The modern church today is corrupt.

00:45:44.230 --> 00:45:46.300
 It's filled with all kinds of degeneracy, freaks.

00:45:46.300 --> 00:45:51.620
 I mean, think about like some of the people like Transformation Church with Todd, Michael

00:45:51.620 --> 00:45:52.830
 Todd.

00:45:52.830 --> 00:45:57.600
 Think about all the different craziness with Kenneth Copeland, T.D.

00:45:57.600 --> 00:46:01.260
 Jakes, all kinds of different things that are going on.

00:46:01.260 --> 00:46:03.350
 Life Church, Craig Groeschel.

00:46:03.350 --> 00:46:10.020
 We have what other, there was somebody else that was really weird that oh yeah, Andy Stanley.

00:46:10.020 --> 00:46:12.680
 This guy is just off the rails.

00:46:12.680 --> 00:46:13.760
 I don't like him.

00:46:13.760 --> 00:46:18.200
 I mean, there's nothing to like about Andy Stanley and I think that the modern Bibles

00:46:18.200 --> 00:46:24.410
 are just clearly evidencing bad fruit and that the King James is clearly evidencing

00:46:24.410 --> 00:46:29.160
 good fruit and that's where we got our nation, our country, our prosperity, our blessing

00:46:29.160 --> 00:46:31.480
 and we need to get back to that.

00:46:31.480 --> 00:46:36.820
 And they're always going to change, right, Pastor Shelley? Like you have to understand

00:46:36.820 --> 00:46:42.710
 the modern versions are not done evolving because they're always coming up with new

00:46:42.710 --> 00:46:51.630
 ways to change the text. In our film we talk about the four different text types that exist.

00:46:51.630 --> 00:46:55.280
 Well that's going to be outdated very soon because now they've come up with a new digital

00:46:55.280 --> 00:47:01.340
 form of text criticism that they have yet to apply to the Gospels and, Pastor, once

00:47:01.340 --> 00:47:10.160
 they apply CBGM to the Gospels, would you agree that the amount of passages we fight

00:47:10.160 --> 00:47:15.520
 over right now will grow exponentially? Like, they're going to cast down on a bunch more

00:47:15.520 --> 00:47:18.420
 scriptures.

00:47:18.420 --> 00:47:22.970
 I mean, it's tough to say because I think that a little bit the modern movement's kind

00:47:22.970 --> 00:47:28.880
 of dying. I think that they're going to try, but I just don't know how well that's going

00:47:28.880 --> 00:47:35.010
 to be received. I don't know if it's actually going to catch on. I mean, think about the

00:47:35.010 --> 00:47:40.430
 legacy standard Bible that just came out. Is it really going to catch on or is it just

00:47:40.430 --> 00:47:42.980
 like a handful of James White sympathizers that are going to catch on?

00:47:42.980 --> 00:47:45.220
 Yeah, I don't know. How popular is it? I'm not sure.

00:47:45.220 --> 00:47:50.020
 Yeah, I just, I don't see the modern Bible version movement having much momentum is what

00:47:50.020 --> 00:47:54.800
 I would say. So, I think that they might continue to try and undermine. I think what the future

00:47:54.800 --> 00:48:00.000
 is and this is where what you brought up might come into play is AI. And if there ends up

00:48:00.000 --> 00:48:07.110
 coming like an AI Bible version or something, that's when it could get really weird and

00:48:07.110 --> 00:48:08.860
 really hairy really quick.

00:48:08.860 --> 00:48:09.840
 AI?

00:48:09.840 --> 00:48:12.530
 Yeah, I'm not even joking.

00:48:12.530 --> 00:48:14.090
 The chat GBT version.

00:48:14.090 --> 00:48:20.570
 Yeah, where you say like, what does this verse mean? And then it's just, it could be anything.

00:48:20.570 --> 00:48:22.990
 And it could get, it could get to a point where people don't even know what the Bible

00:48:22.990 --> 00:48:26.720
 is anymore because they're like, maybe they stop using versions and they just like start

00:48:26.720 --> 00:48:32.120
 using an AI by like everybody's using this AI Bible. And it just, it's based on the CBD

00:48:32.120 --> 00:48:36.980
 and it's just like, they just have no idea. And I mean, think about all the weird versions.

00:48:36.980 --> 00:48:40.450
 Remember that Hawaiian pigeon version? I know you've preached on it. I'm just saying like,

00:48:40.450 --> 00:48:45.470
 what if they, what if they make like AI's like, uh, I want you to change this verse to sound like

00:48:45.470 --> 00:48:53.080
 Kanye West or something stupid like that. Like I think that that's the danger. I don't think that,

00:48:53.080 --> 00:48:57.310
 I don't think that this there's going to be a lot more print Bibles that are going to make a big

00:48:57.310 --> 00:49:03.180
 impact. If that makes sense. I think they're going to continue to try to come up with new ones,

00:49:03.180 --> 00:49:07.610
 obviously, who knows if they'll catch on, but really just to add to what you were saying,

00:49:07.610 --> 00:49:14.550
 there's a huge distinction, too, between the shifting sands of the critical text and the

00:49:14.550 --> 00:49:20.030
 modern scholarship that undergirds it and the received text, because the received text

00:49:20.030 --> 00:49:26.440
 is a rock. It is not changing. It's been the same for hundreds of years, whereas the critical text

00:49:26.440 --> 00:49:33.150
 is always evolving. That's why the Nestle Allen Greek New Testament is on its 28th edition. That

00:49:33.150 --> 00:49:38.830
 illustrates my point right there. There you go. Whereas we're still using, you know, the 1894

00:49:38.830 --> 00:49:47.850
 Scrivener. Let's, I really like this conversation, but I do want to, I want to try and change it

00:49:47.850 --> 00:49:56.740
 just a little bit and see what your opinion is because last night, Stu Peters was trying to,

00:49:56.740 --> 00:50:00.520
 I guess, I think it was last night. Yeah, last night, Stu Peters was trying to go to a Tucker

00:50:00.520 --> 00:50:07.310
 event that he was invited to and he wanted to interview him for his film Occupied and it got,

00:50:07.310 --> 00:50:15.540
 he got totally banned from the event. Did you hear about this? Yeah, I saw some ex-posts on it.

00:50:15.540 --> 00:50:25.520
 It's too bad that that happened. At the same time, I'm not going to use it to attack Tucker

00:50:25.520 --> 00:50:33.510
 Carlson necessarily because I don't have any proof that he, I haven't seen any proof that he's the

00:50:33.510 --> 00:50:40.050
 one who ordered him to be kicked out or something like that. If it is, if that's the case, then

00:50:40.050 --> 00:50:45.640
 that's negative for sure. But if it's his event, doesn't he have, doesn't he have a power to talk

00:50:45.640 --> 00:50:51.920
 about that? If we're going to, if we're going to, if we're going to lay the responsibility at the

00:50:51.920 --> 00:50:57.040
 feet of Tucker Carlson, then I would say I disagree with that move from him. But at the same time,

00:50:57.040 --> 00:51:03.930
 I think when people are starting to change on an issue, it's unrealistic to expect them to go from

00:51:03.930 --> 00:51:09.490
 zero to a hundred overnight. So maybe he just needs a little time because, you know, there was a time

00:51:09.490 --> 00:51:15.740
 when Tucker Carlson wouldn't talk to Alex Jones. Like he thought Alex Jones was too radical and crazy

00:51:15.740 --> 00:51:22.000
 and now he goes on and does events with them all over the country. So it's like, I don't agree with

00:51:22.000 --> 00:51:28.200
 what he did if he was responsible, but I don't believe in attacking him for it because I think

00:51:28.200 --> 00:51:36.030
 that he's slow, if he is slowly turning on the Jew issue, then I'm just going to give him space

00:51:36.030 --> 00:51:42.390
 to make that transition and hope that he'll get more hardcore as the years go by.

00:51:42.390 --> 00:51:46.280
 But here's the thing. Am I making sense or do you get what I'm saying?

00:51:46.280 --> 00:51:53.760
 Yes, but at the same time, isn't it giving liberty to communism? Because in the sense that...

00:51:53.760 --> 00:52:00.640
 I'm not going to defend it. I don't like it. If every person just says we're going to talk

00:52:00.640 --> 00:52:05.050
 about it, what are they going to do? Are they going to ban everybody? Are they going to literally

00:52:05.050 --> 00:52:09.890
 just censor every single talking head? That's not a good look. And if they are, they were going to

00:52:09.890 --> 00:52:17.030
 anyways, or it was already happening. So why not just everybody talk about it?

00:52:17.030 --> 00:52:23.590
 I mean, I agree with that 100%. I just think that if Tucker did that, if he's the one responsible,

00:52:23.590 --> 00:52:31.840
 it just it just shows that he's not quite there yet. He's just not quite fully on board with the

00:52:31.840 --> 00:52:35.630
 anti-Jew stuff yet. I know I kind of changed topics here a little bit, but I'm curious,

00:52:35.630 --> 00:52:46.230
 Wade, did you want to comment on that or Jared again? No, to tell you the truth, actually,

00:52:46.230 --> 00:52:51.770
 I got booted out. I think I dropped service. And so when I came back, my mic was off. But

00:52:51.770 --> 00:52:56.410
 I'm actually not familiar with Stu Peters. I mean, I know, you know, Tucker, obviously, but

00:52:56.410 --> 00:53:02.630
 I'm not familiar with who's Stu Peters is. Yeah, he he has his own like kind of network. I don't

00:53:02.630 --> 00:53:08.600
 exactly know him outside of his own network. I actually was introduced to him because of the

00:53:08.600 --> 00:53:13.500
 died suddenly film. I think that's the first time I ever heard anything about him. Did you did you

00:53:13.500 --> 00:53:21.020
 know anything about him prior to the died suddenly? Yeah, I don't I didn't know much about the guy.

00:53:21.020 --> 00:53:27.790
 I'm not. You watch the documentary? I'm not super familiar with him. I did not watch died suddenly

00:53:27.790 --> 00:53:34.810
 because there was images there I didn't want to see. I'm sure it was a great film, but. I thought

00:53:34.810 --> 00:53:38.350
 it was pretty powerful. Yeah, I didn't know a lot about him prior to that film. Definitely a lot

00:53:38.350 --> 00:53:44.520
 about him. I don't agree with everything he puts out, but I do think that on the Jew issue he's

00:53:44.520 --> 00:53:53.070
 definitely got some good things to say. Have you seen the trailer for his occupied film? Yeah,

00:53:53.070 --> 00:53:56.940
 I believe so. Yeah, I've seen it. It looks pretty good. That does look good. That does look good.

00:53:56.940 --> 00:54:02.750
 It looks like he's gonna get in some hot water. You know this better than anyone. I mean, if you

00:54:02.750 --> 00:54:09.970
 approach that topic at all, you're going to get persecution for it. It's like when it comes to

00:54:09.970 --> 00:54:17.360
 radioactive subject matter, it's the homosexuals, it's Jews. You know, those are the two that you

00:54:17.360 --> 00:54:24.670
 really can't touch without getting persecuted. And evidently amongst fundamental Baptist circles,

00:54:24.670 --> 00:54:27.760
 the timing of the rapture, but that's a different topic for a different time.

00:54:27.760 --> 00:54:28.870
 Oh, yeah.

00:54:28.870 --> 00:54:32.040
 And that's what I just real quick to bring it back to Dr. Stringer. That's what I appreciate

00:54:32.040 --> 00:54:38.060
 so much about him is that in spite of our doctrinal differences, he treats us like

00:54:38.060 --> 00:54:48.590
 brothers in Christ. And pastor, do you share just that enthusiasm that I have to just say,

00:54:48.590 --> 00:54:53.190
 you know what, it's okay that we disagree. We don't have to hate each other.

00:54:53.190 --> 00:55:02.430
 I try my best to not hate people unless I have to. And this is what I kind of said to Dr. Stringer,

00:55:02.430 --> 00:55:09.290
 I said, I want to be friend, like your best friend and your worst enemy in the sense that,

00:55:09.290 --> 00:55:17.300
 you know, I want to be somebody that is a friend to you no matter what, if you're in that category.

00:55:17.300 --> 00:55:23.140
 But you know, if you're a reprobate, like I don't even want to try to pretend. You know what I mean?

00:55:23.740 --> 00:55:29.540
 So like I think there's a lot of fakeness out there and I kind of am stealing that talking point

00:55:29.540 --> 00:55:36.320
 from a former boss that I had, but he would always say, in the banking world, he would say,

00:55:36.320 --> 00:55:43.180
 you know, I'm going to be your best lender or your worst lender as if you pay. And you know,

00:55:43.180 --> 00:55:48.470
 like I appreciate that attitude, right? And I think we should be the best Baptist friend out there

00:55:48.470 --> 00:55:56.100
 and we should be the meanest, most hateful, bigoted, you know, preacher out there too,

00:55:56.100 --> 00:56:01.270
 like to the enemy. Yeah, because there's tears amongst the wheat and we got to contend against

00:56:01.270 --> 00:56:05.150
 somebody. There's somebody that we're fighting. So you can't be on everybody. You can't be Joel

00:56:05.150 --> 00:56:10.970
 Osteen and be like, of course, I'm for everybody. Yeah, of course. But you know what, with America

00:56:10.970 --> 00:56:17.800
 being destroyed with all these disgusting filthy faggots and the Jews and the destruction of our

00:56:17.800 --> 00:56:23.210
 culture today and just all these depraved people out there shoving their filth down our throats,

00:56:23.210 --> 00:56:30.000
 my issue is not somebody having a difference of opinion with me on the timing of the rapture.

00:56:30.000 --> 00:56:35.380
 I'm not saying that obviously all doctrine is important, but at the same time, you know,

00:56:35.380 --> 00:56:43.640
 cutting fellowship with someone over a secondary issue in my mind is just counterproductive when

00:56:43.640 --> 00:56:50.490
 we're all under attack by the same enemy. And what's wrong with America today goes far beyond

00:56:50.490 --> 00:56:58.340
 people being screwed up on some Bible prophecy or the finer points of Bible prophecy. That's my point.

00:56:58.340 --> 00:57:03.360
 Well, not even just end times Bible prophecy. I mean, there's a lot of subjects that people

00:57:03.360 --> 00:57:08.860
 get upset about. Like, there's a lot of Baptists that won't fellowship over communion, open or

00:57:08.860 --> 00:57:14.530
 closed communion. And it's just like, you know, it's just crazy. Like, I think that we need to

00:57:14.530 --> 00:57:18.510
 just have more of a mentality of like, we're going to talk with all kinds of people, even

00:57:18.510 --> 00:57:23.110
 non-Baptists. Like, I'm still going to talk with them. You know, to me, like, I think we sometimes

00:57:23.110 --> 00:57:30.500
 can be over do the separation aspect. It's like, to me, Sunday morning, I am going to separate

00:57:30.500 --> 00:57:35.580
 and I'm going to be an independent fundamental Baptist and we're King James only and we're

00:57:35.580 --> 00:57:40.790
 hardcore soul winning, we're hard preaching. But you know, when I leave the pulpit and I leave the

00:57:40.790 --> 00:57:45.510
 church building, I hope that it's different because Jesus Christ literally says that he doesn't want

00:57:45.510 --> 00:57:50.150
 to keep us from the world. He wants us to keep us from the evil. How could you argue that you're

00:57:50.150 --> 00:57:55.670
 going back to the world if you're never interacting with people that aren't like you exactly? I mean,

00:57:55.670 --> 00:58:00.070
 if I'm interacting with people exactly like me, that's like fellowship in church. When I'm

00:58:00.070 --> 00:58:03.960
 interacting with people that are not like me, that's me going out into the world. That's me

00:58:03.960 --> 00:58:09.020
 earnestly contending for the faith. That's me in meekness instructing those that oppose themselves.

00:58:09.020 --> 00:58:13.690
 Let's prevent your God, give them, you know, repentance, acknowledging of the truth, right?

00:58:13.690 --> 00:58:18.350
 So to me, like, I think that there's a time and a place to just go out there and just talk to

00:58:18.350 --> 00:58:23.820
 anybody, everybody, be friendly, be kind, be relevant in the culture, which I mean,

00:58:23.820 --> 00:58:32.220
 I mean, Jesus was a was heard among the gladly heard among the common people, right? So sadly,

00:58:32.220 --> 00:58:38.300
 a lot of fundamental Baptists are not relevant. And they're older, and they're dying about this

00:58:38.300 --> 00:58:43.110
 in general. Southern Baptists, they're trying to be culturally relevant. You know, this was sad.

00:58:43.110 --> 00:58:46.270
 The Southern Baptists are trying to be relevant, but you know who they're trying to be relevant to?

00:58:46.270 --> 00:58:53.840
 Democrats. To like Satan, Satan worshipping, abortion performing, you know, sodomites or

00:58:53.840 --> 00:58:58.960
 something like this. And it's just like, why are you trying to be relevant to those people? To me,

00:58:58.960 --> 00:59:04.340
 that's the wolf saying, I'm a wolf, please more wolves join our church. And, you know,

00:59:05.440 --> 00:59:11.660
 how about just the jq question? I mean, it's frustrating that we get banned and we get censored

00:59:11.660 --> 00:59:18.210
 and you see people like Stu Peters, Tucker, you know, situation. And that's just to me, just a

00:59:18.210 --> 00:59:21.800
 similar to like how when we would say like, hey, I want to hang out with you want to be friends,

00:59:21.800 --> 00:59:26.970
 and then they just cancel us, or they uninvite you or they reject you. And so your thoughts on

00:59:26.970 --> 00:59:32.990
 the Tucker thing, I was being, you know, gracious to him. I don't know if you have a different view.

00:59:32.990 --> 00:59:40.200
 It was a dumb move. It was a bad move. It doesn't help him. It's a lose-lose, because number one,

00:59:40.200 --> 00:59:46.620
 let's say Tucker can ignore this. Well, we're going to go into a communist hellhole.

00:59:46.620 --> 00:59:53.850
 If he talks about it, then at least there's a chance to right the ship. If the ship gets

00:59:53.850 --> 00:59:58.100
 righted without him, well, then he's going to look like a shill. So to me, by ignoring it,

00:59:58.100 --> 01:00:03.400
 you don't win. Because think about it, if you ignore this issue, we could literally be in a

01:00:03.400 --> 01:00:07.590
 communist takeover with Kamala Harris. It's not even a question. It's almost a certain reality.

01:00:07.590 --> 01:00:10.200
 But maybe his issue is more with Stu Peters himself.

01:00:10.200 --> 01:00:15.050
 Okay, then just say that. Okay, well, then just say, "Hey, come in the show. Have the

01:00:15.050 --> 01:00:19.890
 conversation anyways." Here's the thing, if you have such a bad viewpoint, but you're a big

01:00:19.890 --> 01:00:25.880
 political figure, another big political figure is there, why don't you just refute his arguments?

01:00:25.880 --> 01:00:29.290
 Why don't you just say, "Well, you know what? I don't like you. I don't like what you have to say.

01:00:29.290 --> 01:00:33.480
 I don't like this thing." And isn't that great for ratings anyways? I mean, aren't these people all

01:00:33.480 --> 01:00:37.920
 about ratings and views and getting money and blah, blah, blah? And wouldn't it just be so great?

01:00:37.920 --> 01:00:41.980
 You know, I think this is the problem. I think that he was going to agree with Stu Peters a lot

01:00:41.980 --> 01:00:45.570
 and he was going to find what he said interesting and compelling because there's a lot of truth to

01:00:45.570 --> 01:00:51.870
 it. And his producers and everybody else were afraid. His advertisers were afraid. And they

01:00:51.870 --> 01:00:55.580
 said, "Don't do it." And he said, "Okay, I'm not going to do it." And it's kind of a coward move.

01:00:55.580 --> 01:01:01.280
 It's a coward move. And we need people to be brave. How can you say that you're standing for

01:01:01.280 --> 01:01:07.100
 the truth, you're in rebellion to the quote deep state, you're standing on what's right,

01:01:07.100 --> 01:01:11.380
 you're going by your moral convictions, and then you do these kind of things. Like it wasn't like,

01:01:11.380 --> 01:01:18.540
 I just don't like you. I say, "Hey Ben, come over to my house for dinner." And then you show up at

01:01:18.540 --> 01:01:23.070
 the door and we close the curtains and turn out the lights and pretend like we're not home.

01:01:23.070 --> 01:01:27.360
 And then call the cops and say, "There's this Middle Eastern man knocking on our door. We

01:01:27.360 --> 01:01:31.820
 don't know who he is. Will you please take him away and arrest him?" Like that's different than

01:01:31.820 --> 01:01:39.230
 just not inviting you to my house. Well, that is Stu Peters point of view. I'd like to at least

01:01:39.230 --> 01:01:42.940
 hear what Tucker's explanation was. Well, he provided receipts. He provided all that. I mean,

01:01:42.940 --> 01:01:50.170
 he literally has the video of him standing there at the check-in and saying, like, "I'm on the list."

01:01:50.170 --> 01:01:54.370
 And they say, "We know you're on the list, but we were asked to not let you come in." I mean,

01:01:54.370 --> 01:01:59.190
 how are you going to refute that? No, that's hypocritical, especially because Tucker Carlson

01:01:59.190 --> 01:02:03.620
 comes from a line of thinking that says, "Hey, I'm pro-free speech. Let's have the discussion.

01:02:03.620 --> 01:02:09.080
 Let's talk about things. Nothing's off limits. The free exchange of thoughts and ideas."

01:02:09.080 --> 01:02:14.630
 And this is where you see the right enter into hypocrisy a lot of the time because they make

01:02:14.630 --> 01:02:19.390
 that claim, but then if you bring up something that makes them uncomfortable, you get canceled

01:02:19.390 --> 01:02:24.310
 and deplatformed the same way the left does. How is this not the exact same as us wanting to talk

01:02:24.310 --> 01:02:31.020
 to a pre-tribber, us wanting to talk to a Zionist? I mean, we get canceled from Baptist churches and

01:02:31.020 --> 01:02:35.710
 preachers in these events and they won't have the conversation. It's because they're a coward.

01:02:35.710 --> 01:02:42.110
 It's because they, and they're promoting a bad ideology. Again, I'm not saying that you couldn't

01:02:42.110 --> 01:02:45.520
 legitimately say like this person is a troll or a weirdo or a freak and I just don't want to talk

01:02:45.520 --> 01:02:49.020
 to them and I get that kind of a viewpoint, but this is somebody that we're friends with.

01:02:49.020 --> 01:02:54.380
 Like they were friends and they have some relationship. This person's on the list.

01:02:54.380 --> 01:03:00.600
 Like you don't invite, uninvite. Like that's just a weird move. Yeah. Did someone have a question?

01:03:00.600 --> 01:03:07.830
 I'm sorry. I wanted to just, I'll check in and our speakers here. Yeah. I had a question. Go for it.

01:03:07.830 --> 01:03:16.820
 So, um, I haven't heard of Stu Peters, um, but I have heard this other controversy going on

01:03:16.820 --> 01:03:22.480
 with Tucker recently about, and I didn't see the interview, but he interviewed somebody who was

01:03:22.480 --> 01:03:29.920
 doing a supposed, you know, world war two revisionism about, you know, Churchill being the bad guy.

01:03:29.920 --> 01:03:38.960
 And then people were saying, okay, yeah, I don't, I don't know. Uh, I just kind of was, uh,

01:03:38.960 --> 01:03:46.950
 hearing some of the aftermath chatter and, um, and people were saying, you know, people were

01:03:46.950 --> 01:03:54.070
 concerned that Tucker was compromised because of his, his past links with the, with the CIA and

01:03:54.070 --> 01:04:02.340
 with his dad being in the CIA and him trying to, to get a job and being rejected and, you know,

01:04:02.340 --> 01:04:07.200
 working for CNN before and stuff. And they, they're saying, yeah, this, this kind of,

01:04:07.200 --> 01:04:14.150
 we're getting bad vibes now from Tucker, like red flags are going up that he might be getting

01:04:14.150 --> 01:04:23.350
 influenced by people up top. I mean, obviously he is, you know, but he might be succumbing to some

01:04:23.350 --> 01:04:28.100
 of that influence. And would, do you think that that might have something to do with this where

01:04:28.100 --> 01:04:33.640
 he's, he's having an event and somebody above him just says, no, you're not going to talk to that

01:04:33.640 --> 01:04:40.830
 guy? No, I think that you're right because the Darrell Cooper conversation, he got a lot of heat

01:04:40.830 --> 01:04:47.790
 and he had to kind of backpedal on that interview and even, and say like, man, I got a lot of people,

01:04:47.790 --> 01:04:52.480
 you know, mad at me about this particular conversation. And, you know, I don't, I don't

01:04:52.480 --> 01:04:58.240
 know how much Tucker is, is kind of playing coy on those things where he kind of knows what he's

01:04:58.240 --> 01:05:01.960
 getting into. And then he kind of acts like, oh, I didn't know I was getting into this, you know,

01:05:01.960 --> 01:05:07.580
 controversy or whatever. I mean, you bring a guy on and talk about World War II. That's, you know,

01:05:07.580 --> 01:05:11.830
 I'm sure that they fact check these people and figure out like what their perspective is.

01:05:11.830 --> 01:05:16.940
 I do think that he got a lot of heat. And I know that Stu Peters documentary,

01:05:16.940 --> 01:05:21.710
 Apocupied is getting attention. And it looks really good. It looks like it and it's bringing

01:05:21.710 --> 01:05:26.650
 receipts. It's not just like this random guy just sitting in a room just talking to a camera like

01:05:26.650 --> 01:05:33.420
 it's just, it's just video package after video package and just clear hard evidence of how our

01:05:33.420 --> 01:05:40.740
 country has so many high ranking positions infiltrated by Jews. And that is exactly what

01:05:40.740 --> 01:05:44.360
 happened in the Bolshevik revolution. I've been reading a book about it. It's pretty interesting

01:05:44.360 --> 01:05:50.530
 called Behind Communism by Frank Britton. And he's talking about how in Russia specifically,

01:05:50.530 --> 01:05:55.520
 the government to try and appease Jews gave them free education. And so almost all of the Jews were

01:05:55.520 --> 01:06:01.840
 educated while the rest of the residential population was not. And that caused all of the

01:06:01.840 --> 01:06:07.730
 Jews to come into all the positions of influence, power, and authority in the nation. They basically

01:06:07.730 --> 01:06:12.030
 dominated all professions, all the trades. They dominated the cities. They were in all kinds of

01:06:12.030 --> 01:06:17.920
 high-ranking positions. And so whenever the revolution kind of came to pass, like all these

01:06:17.920 --> 01:06:24.550
 people are in all these positions of control. And so it just, it's a lot easier to just basically

01:06:24.550 --> 01:06:29.940
 take over. And I mean, you know, you look at America right now, there is a lot of high-ranking

01:06:29.940 --> 01:06:36.800
 and influential positions when it comes to the major corporations, banking, the presidential

01:06:36.800 --> 01:06:43.780
 cabinet, our information when it comes to the news media, Hollywood, even production of food,

01:06:43.780 --> 01:06:50.610
 social media, the internet, military. I mean, there's just, at what point of infrastructure

01:06:50.610 --> 01:06:57.040
 is it not just dominated by a Jewish influence? And you have to ask this question, like,

01:06:57.040 --> 01:07:03.830
 do they have our intentions, like the America first or our intentions at best of heart here,

01:07:03.830 --> 01:07:09.160
 or is there something nefarious going on? And I think that that's a fair question. I think that

01:07:09.160 --> 01:07:13.440
 when you look at the history, when you look at what these people practice and what they believe,

01:07:13.440 --> 01:07:19.000
 like this is some serious stuff. And you know, World War II, you sometimes, I heard a lot of

01:07:19.000 --> 01:07:23.790
 people talk about this last night. This is the crazy thing. It's like, I don't even remember

01:07:23.790 --> 01:07:28.850
 learning anything about World War II in school. Maybe I did, but even what I did would have been

01:07:28.850 --> 01:07:34.180
 super brief. I remember thinking about like Texas history. We learned about ancient Greek history

01:07:34.180 --> 01:07:40.150
 and Roman history and some of 1776 and maybe civil war. But like World War II was just not a

01:07:40.150 --> 01:07:45.410
 subject that I remember discussing very much in school whatsoever. And I think in a lot of

01:07:45.410 --> 01:07:50.500
 people's minds the question was never resolved of like why does Hitler just randomly decide like I

01:07:50.500 --> 01:07:56.480
 just hate all Jews? I mean that's not a question you're gonna get answered in public school. Yeah

01:07:56.480 --> 01:08:01.180
 but I'm just saying like did you hear that? Like when you were in public school did they say like

01:08:01.180 --> 01:08:04.120
 here is the clear and definitive reason and evidence why. What was the catalyst for him?

01:08:04.120 --> 01:08:08.480
 Yeah there's this guy. I think race-based wasn't it? I mean didn't he want to create like an

01:08:08.480 --> 01:08:15.790
 all-white ethnostate I guess according to the narrative. Aren't Jews why? I don't believe he

01:08:15.790 --> 01:08:19.560
 considered them to be according to the... I'm just trying to explain the historical narrative isn't

01:08:19.560 --> 01:08:28.430
 it that he thought Jews were ethnically inferior or genetically inferior? No I agree he definitely

01:08:28.430 --> 01:08:34.540
 had an evolutionary mindset. Yeah. But I'm just simply saying like that doesn't necessarily just

01:08:34.540 --> 01:08:40.400
 immediately say like why you would classify Jews as being the most subhuman species on the earth

01:08:40.400 --> 01:08:47.110
 and that they are inferior beings. Like why where do you get where do you draw that conclusion though?

01:08:49.120 --> 01:08:53.510
 You just randomly assign like well I just think you know these group of people just ran it like

01:08:53.510 --> 01:08:58.780
 you know. No it wasn't random there was that's what that's the question pattern that led to

01:08:58.780 --> 01:09:05.750
 that conclusion. So but you know the thing is with with Hitler and the Jews everything like that is

01:09:05.750 --> 01:09:12.330
 the devil certainly used all of that in many different ways and you know chief among them

01:09:12.330 --> 01:09:20.080
 is the establishment of the nation of Israel in 1948. So I don't know that that's not 100%

01:09:20.080 --> 01:09:24.470
 relevant to what we're talking about but as far as the question why I don't think you're

01:09:24.470 --> 01:09:29.040
 going to get that answered in public school. Jared did you do you feel like you remember

01:09:29.040 --> 01:09:35.880
 a lot of World War II history from school? I don't remember a lot of anything from school

01:09:35.880 --> 01:09:43.170
 so long ago. I've definitely learned a lot more in my own reading and you know I read a book about

01:09:43.170 --> 01:09:50.300
 in 1933 kind of like the rise of Hitler so there was some good information about that but I think

01:09:50.300 --> 01:09:58.410
 the most important thing to remember is that it's just like World War I part two. Yeah of course.

01:09:58.410 --> 01:10:06.470
 It's just like Germany just got decimated in the first war and their country was chopped up and

01:10:06.470 --> 01:10:18.010
 they were paying like ridiculous amounts of money to like compensate for all kinds of stuff and you

01:10:18.010 --> 01:10:25.530
 actually had like the French invading Germany and taking over towns and murdering people and stuff

01:10:25.530 --> 01:10:31.530
 and their economy was just totally destroyed and people were just on the brink you know so they

01:10:31.530 --> 01:10:36.070
 were so there's there's a lot all that stuff leading up to it but with the like when you

01:10:36.070 --> 01:10:43.610
 were talking about Jews in high positions so when we talk about Jews obviously there's like two

01:10:43.610 --> 01:10:48.900
 different senses in which a person can be a Jew right they are practicing the religion of

01:10:48.900 --> 01:10:58.300
 pharisaical Judaism or they claim to have some type of ethnic Jewish ancestry right so like to

01:10:58.300 --> 01:11:04.460
 me that's an important distinction you know like are these people you know oh they're Jew okay but

01:11:04.460 --> 01:11:10.620
 what kind of Jew like they just say they just you know have a family history of of word you know

01:11:10.620 --> 01:11:17.580
 understand ourselves as Jewish people you know because I mean to say like I was thinking about

01:11:17.580 --> 01:11:24.560
 this the other day to say oh I'm French you know is to say that like the my ancestors came to the

01:11:24.560 --> 01:11:33.610
 United States from France right it's it's tied to a land you know and no matter what color they were

01:11:33.610 --> 01:11:39.970
 or anything I could still say well I'm French because my ancestors go back to this geographical

01:11:39.970 --> 01:11:46.010
 region you know whereas Jews don't really have that I mean they maybe they do a little bit more

01:11:46.010 --> 01:11:52.490
 since the modern state's been been created but prior to that you know Jews just lived everywhere

01:11:52.490 --> 01:11:58.850
 you know so it to me it's it's important to say well this person's in a high position of authority

01:11:58.850 --> 01:12:06.140
 and they're they're a religious Jew who is you know operating under this religious framework.

01:12:06.140 --> 01:12:11.380
 Well let me let me say this I think that actually and I kind of made a list the other day there's

01:12:11.380 --> 01:12:16.930
 actually about five or six different ways that Jew could be understand because I think that you

01:12:16.930 --> 01:12:23.110
 kind of have initially those who are the tribe of Judah in the Bible then you have a sense where

01:12:23.110 --> 01:12:27.670
 it's like you lived in Judah doesn't mean that you necessarily were of the tribe. Yeah you're

01:12:27.670 --> 01:12:33.990
 of that particular geography or that particular nation and then you kind of have what Paul

01:12:33.990 --> 01:12:38.160
 refers to as the Jews religion and and I would argue that that's what you brought up with a

01:12:38.160 --> 01:12:45.560
 pharisaical understanding of quote Jews. Then you kind of have in the New Testament the

01:12:45.560 --> 01:12:53.440
 distinctions between like the Jews which are the synagogue of Satan and and that's similar to the

01:12:53.440 --> 01:12:57.150
 pharisaical Jews and then you have like a spiritual Jew and then I would say there's one more

01:12:57.150 --> 01:13:02.170
 category so there's kind of like five and it's like the other one is modern-day Judaism and I

01:13:02.170 --> 01:13:07.720
 think that all of these are different. You could even maybe argue now that there's even another

01:13:07.720 --> 01:13:14.560
 sense of people who are quote ethnically Jewish or culturally Jewish and not really practicing

01:13:14.560 --> 01:13:20.550
 of that religion and so there's a lot of ways that the word Jew could be used. I think though

01:13:20.550 --> 01:13:27.280
 in times past it wasn't as muddy and for the most part if it was like hey I'm from Mexico

01:13:27.280 --> 01:13:33.630
 you're probably Catholic. If you're from a certain you know location in the world you kind of it's

01:13:33.630 --> 01:13:40.400
 almost like a one-for-one for religion in a lot of places and so you know I think for most people

01:13:40.400 --> 01:13:45.330
 and especially in times past if you were Jewish you were probably practicing the religion of

01:13:45.330 --> 01:13:50.890
 Judaism especially around the time of Hitler and even though there's a lot of people today that are

01:13:50.890 --> 01:13:56.760
 quote culturally Jewish or just simply their mom was Jewish or that I was just I believe that they

01:13:56.760 --> 01:14:02.330
 still live in communities where they're interacting with other their uncles are Jewish and practicing

01:14:02.330 --> 01:14:07.180
 Judaism. They're in it there maybe have the practices of Judaism they're reading the Talmud

01:14:07.180 --> 01:14:12.900
 they're going to synagogue they they have a lot of these things that are these just principles that

01:14:12.900 --> 01:14:19.000
 kind of define who they are even if they're not really that much practicing and that the principle

01:14:19.000 --> 01:14:25.700
 of Judaism as far as modern day Talmudic Judaism is a love of money and is a belief system that

01:14:25.700 --> 01:14:32.290
 you can do anything to acquire more wealth and power and it's justified that there's really no

01:14:32.290 --> 01:14:38.160
 moral restraint and that Goyim or the Gentiles are an inferior group of people that you can

01:14:38.160 --> 01:14:44.750
 treat inhumanely in the acquisition of more power and wealth and that they really are pretty tribal

01:14:44.750 --> 01:14:48.550
 and looking out for their own and regardless if someone is actually raised reading the Talmud

01:14:48.550 --> 01:14:53.560
 or going through all these teachings I think that a lot of that culture is kind of infused in the

01:14:53.560 --> 01:14:59.670
 brains of even these children that grow up in these homes and so you kind of see a lot of quote

01:14:59.670 --> 01:15:08.690
 jews even in modern day having just very unscrupulous principles very dominated with

01:15:08.690 --> 01:15:13.720
 the mindset of the love of money and power and wealth and fame and promoting a lot of smut and

01:15:13.720 --> 01:15:18.580
 filth being very anti-christ in their behavior and attitudes and of course those who are actually

01:15:18.580 --> 01:15:25.120
 practicing Judaism exhibiting all those character attributes intensely and it's interesting that

01:15:25.120 --> 01:15:30.630
 then most positions of authority and influence in our country happen to be dominated by this

01:15:30.630 --> 01:15:35.890
 small demographic. I'm not saying all Jews are bad. I've met Jews that are saved believers. They

01:15:35.890 --> 01:15:41.470
 believe in Jesus Christ. When I mean Jew I mean they were raised ethnically Jewish and they have

01:15:41.470 --> 01:15:46.730
 converted religions but they I guess have a physical lineage associated with that and I

01:15:46.730 --> 01:15:50.720
 don't hate those people. I love those people. I don't even just hate Jews in general. I want

01:15:50.720 --> 01:15:54.860
 them to be saved and believe in Jesus Christ but I do think we have to recognize that there's a

01:15:54.860 --> 01:16:00.200
 stranglehold in our country and there are a small group of the Jews who are probably the reprobate

01:16:00.200 --> 01:16:04.820
 synagogue of Satan that the Bible describes who are really trying to bring in the Antichrist.

01:16:04.820 --> 01:16:11.460
 So I don't know if that kind of satisfies the distinctions in Jews. What do you think about that?

01:16:11.460 --> 01:16:19.430
 Yeah, that makes sense. So even if you had like an atheist Jew in some high level government position

01:16:19.430 --> 01:16:27.200
 or powerful corporate position in media or something, they're still a part of a community

01:16:27.200 --> 01:16:33.960
 that has a certain worldview. You know, you could even argue that like the some of the Pharisees

01:16:33.960 --> 01:16:37.430
 might have been atheists, you know, they didn't really they were hypocrites. They didn't really

01:16:37.430 --> 01:16:46.760
 believe. Yeah, but some of the points of doctrine they brought up where they, you know, they view,

01:16:46.760 --> 01:16:57.200
 you know, Gentiles or Goyim, the nations as, you know, animals that you can treat however you want.

01:16:57.200 --> 01:17:04.140
 I mean, Muslims have teachings like that too, but I see them actually like living that out in a more

01:17:04.140 --> 01:17:12.140
 violent and extreme way in these nations that have just opened their borders to let Muslims flood in

01:17:12.140 --> 01:17:17.540
 and they're just raping and pillaging and destroying. You know, the Jews don't, you don't

01:17:17.540 --> 01:17:24.070
 see them behaving that way. This is my viewpoint on that because I agree with what you're saying.

01:17:24.070 --> 01:17:30.060
 I think it's that the Muslims have what I'd call brazen hatred and the Jews have what I'd call

01:17:30.060 --> 01:17:37.560
 deceptive hatred. So they kind of equally hate but then the way they manifest their hate is

01:17:37.560 --> 01:17:46.990
 different. So the Muslim will stab you and yell, you know, "Alu Akbar" but the Jew will rob you of

01:17:46.990 --> 01:17:53.780
 all your money and goods and laugh all the way to the bank. So I think it's kind of fair to say that

01:17:53.780 --> 01:18:00.140
 they both hate you, it's just the way that they exercise their hatred is probably a little bit

01:18:00.140 --> 01:18:05.380
 different. And I don't know, is that a fair way to kind of categorize it, Ben?

01:18:05.380 --> 01:18:12.190
 Yeah, Psalm 28 comes to mind where the Bible says, "Draw me not away with the wicked and with the

01:18:12.190 --> 01:18:18.700
 workers of iniquity which speak peace to their neighbors, but mischief is in their hearts."

01:18:18.700 --> 01:18:23.440
 And that seems to be what you're describing, Pastor Shelley, with these Jews. They may speak

01:18:23.440 --> 01:18:28.870
 peace, but in reality, they have a ton of mischief in their hearts.

01:18:28.870 --> 01:18:32.730
 "When he speaketh fair, believe him not, for there are seven abominations in his heart."

01:18:32.730 --> 01:18:33.290
 That's another great passage.

01:18:33.290 --> 01:18:35.570
 "And his hatred shall be shown before the congregation."

01:18:35.570 --> 01:18:41.620
 Amen to that. So, I don't know that I have much to add other than it's important to make the

01:18:41.620 --> 01:18:52.410
 distinctions you made between a religious Jew or Judaism as a religious worldview and what people

01:18:52.950 --> 01:19:00.890
 presume to be an ethnic line because your issue isn't with anyone's ethnicity or their DNA,

01:19:00.890 --> 01:19:09.550
 but rather the ideology of that is part and parcel of Judaism that is responsible for so

01:19:09.550 --> 01:19:15.630
 much evil in the world. And when people are able to understand that distinction, I think it makes

01:19:15.630 --> 01:19:23.060
 our position a little bit more palatable because it stops being a race issue and instead becomes

01:19:23.060 --> 01:19:26.960
 an ideological issue. Well, a lot of people will be mad at what I just said because they think

01:19:26.960 --> 01:19:32.620
 it's a race issue. Like Hitler, I think, doesn't agree with us. Hitler just thinks they're inherently

01:19:32.620 --> 01:19:37.970
 bad. There's no redemption for the ethnic Jew. Racial problem, yeah. Yeah, almost like a Canaanite

01:19:37.970 --> 01:19:42.910
 in the Bible, like you just wipe out the women, children, and infants type mentality. And I think

01:19:42.910 --> 01:19:46.820
 a lot of people have that towards Muslims too. And I would say that I think there's redeemable

01:19:46.820 --> 01:19:52.490
 people on both sides. The religions are super evil, but there are some people on both sides

01:19:52.490 --> 01:19:57.720
 that could be converted and redeemed and reach the gospel. And you know, I've met a lot of

01:19:57.720 --> 01:20:02.630
 Muslims that are very nice people. In America, there's a lot of Muslims. In fact, if I knock

01:20:02.630 --> 01:20:08.600
 on a door and it's a Muslim or a Jew, the Muslim is nice almost every time and the Jews almost never

01:20:08.600 --> 01:20:16.580
 nice is my personal experience. So, you know, I don't think that all Muslims are necessarily

01:20:17.530 --> 01:20:23.330
 really represented well in the media as far as like we just see, you know, they're beheading babies

01:20:23.330 --> 01:20:27.540
 and they're, you know, yelling on the lock bar and they're blowing up buildings and it's like,

01:20:27.540 --> 01:20:33.410
 who really did blow up the buildings on 9/11, Ben? Are we going to find out on 9/11? Was it your

01:20:33.410 --> 01:20:39.150
 cousins? Actually, I don't even know which cousins it is. You have cousins on both sides of the aisle,

01:20:39.150 --> 01:20:44.620
 don't you? I do. The official version says yes. I mean, according to the official story, there was

01:20:44.620 --> 01:20:51.250
 Lebanese who were responsible. Okay, there you go. That's the official narrative. Okay. So if you

01:20:51.250 --> 01:20:54.850
 want to believe that... It wasn't George W. It was the Lebanese folks. It was Lebanese people. There

01:20:54.850 --> 01:21:01.490
 it was. We don't even need to have our stream on Tuesday. Yeah, I think the individual, I forget his

01:21:01.490 --> 01:21:08.880
 name. Jared. Sorry, Jared? Jared. Jared? Jared. Jared. Okay, there you go. Third time's the charm.

01:21:08.880 --> 01:21:16.580
 It's a silent D. No, I'm just kidding. He's right because in this sense that the Islamic invasion of

01:21:16.580 --> 01:21:24.810
 Europe has led to an uptick in women getting raped all over the place and crime and things like that.

01:21:24.810 --> 01:21:31.740
 So there's definitely an element of Islam that is violent and radical and crazy and it is causing

01:21:31.740 --> 01:21:36.120
 the rape epidemic we're seeing in Europe today because of the unfettered migration that's

01:21:36.120 --> 01:21:40.980
 happening through there. So for sure that's true. Okay, yeah, that's true. Europe is seeing some

01:21:40.980 --> 01:21:47.180
 really bad stuff. Is that kind of what you're referring to, Jared? Yeah, where they've just

01:21:47.180 --> 01:21:55.110
 opened their borders, like you were saying, unfettered, you know, immigration, and they've

01:21:55.110 --> 01:22:05.570
 just let Muslims take over entire sectors of their country. And it just becomes, you know,

01:22:05.570 --> 01:22:13.210
 Pakistan inside of the Netherlands or Belgium or wherever they're going, you know,

01:22:13.210 --> 01:22:18.760
 France. And they're just setting up, they're not learning the language, they're not assimilating

01:22:18.760 --> 01:22:22.510
 and all that. They're literally, you know, I've seen clips of them saying, you know,

01:22:22.510 --> 01:22:28.820
 we're taking, we're taking this over. This is ours now, you know, and, and they're attacking

01:22:28.820 --> 01:22:36.060
 people and yeah, it's, it's bad. You know, it is, it is, it is a problem. I think that it's even,

01:22:36.060 --> 01:22:41.340
 you know, again, I think the Jews might be partly responsible for that. And maybe they're allowing

01:22:41.340 --> 01:22:45.910
 that to happen just to weaken those nations. Because I think that they recognize that if

01:22:45.910 --> 01:22:51.800
 Germany becomes strong again, if UK becomes strong again, they might start asking questions about

01:22:51.800 --> 01:22:57.270
 World War II and asking questions about why they're paying all this money to Israel and

01:22:57.270 --> 01:23:02.320
 all the different things that are happening. And the Muslims are a big distraction right now

01:23:02.320 --> 01:23:08.180
 from maybe asking some of those questions. Well, I think it creates a clash of civilizations

01:23:08.180 --> 01:23:15.660
 scenario from which the ruling class can then implement order out of chaos, which is what they

01:23:15.660 --> 01:23:22.390
 want. And when you have a clash of civilizations, it can be used as a stepping stone for globalist

01:23:22.390 --> 01:23:27.610
 political policies. So I think that's another dimension as well. Well, thanks so much for

01:23:27.610 --> 01:23:31.520
 tuning in, guys. I know it's just it's kind of a small space. It just did it last a minute. I'm

01:23:31.520 --> 01:23:37.570
 going to be doing a space tomorrow morning, 8am, with several people talking about the Bible's

01:23:37.570 --> 01:23:43.150
 influence on modern culture and kind of really just a timeline of the Bible from the starting

01:23:43.150 --> 01:23:47.650
 point of Christ to now and just kind of how our whole culture and the whole world has

01:23:47.650 --> 01:23:52.490
 really been shaped by the Bible specifically. I'm kind of excited about this discussion.

01:23:52.490 --> 01:23:56.430
 You can tune in live to that one as well. I kind of shared it on my Twitter. I think

01:23:56.430 --> 01:24:03.720
 Dominique, Michael Trippi in Malcolm and a few others are going to be doing that. We're

01:24:03.720 --> 01:24:10.810
 planning on also maybe doing another space conversation next Saturday where we go and

01:24:10.810 --> 01:24:15.010
 talk. We're going to kind of watch through a sermon and we might incorporate some of

01:24:15.010 --> 01:24:20.000
 our speakers. So I appreciate you guys coming in. Do you have anything last you kind of

01:24:20.000 --> 01:24:22.630
 want to say there, Jarrett?

01:24:22.630 --> 01:24:23.600
 Jarrett.

01:24:23.600 --> 01:24:27.580
 Great space. Looking forward to the next one. Thanks for having me up.

01:24:27.580 --> 01:24:29.960
 Yeah. Thanks for joining and talking. Wade, did you have anything else?

01:24:29.960 --> 01:24:30.940
 Good questions.

01:24:30.940 --> 01:24:31.920
 You wanted to say?

01:24:31.920 --> 01:24:38.360
 Yeah. I just want to thank you both again for everything you do. The Baptist bias, the

01:24:38.360 --> 01:24:44.730
 space, just the online sermons. It's just really enjoyable. And Ben, actually, I met

01:24:44.730 --> 01:24:52.060
 you once about five years ago at Steadfast Jacksonville. It was right after Jonathan

01:24:52.060 --> 01:24:57.610
 Shelley kind of took over. I'm sure you don't remember me. I came through once with my wife

01:24:57.610 --> 01:25:02.570
 on vacation, but I did get to meet you there. So I just want to thank you again for everything

01:25:02.570 --> 01:25:03.700
 that you both do.

01:25:03.700 --> 01:25:11.290
 Well, God bless you. I don't remember that interaction, but hopefully I didn't leave

01:25:11.290 --> 01:25:18.920
 you with too negative of a first impression. It was a while ago and I met a lot of folks

01:25:18.920 --> 01:25:22.950
 instead, so I don't remember. But thanks a lot for your support.

01:25:22.950 --> 01:25:26.800
 Hey, Pastor Shelley, just so you know, we know each other too.

01:25:26.800 --> 01:25:30.660
 This is Jared Neville I assume, right?

01:25:30.660 --> 01:25:31.630
 Yes.

01:25:31.630 --> 01:25:37.650
 I do know Jared Neville. He's from Faithful Word.

01:25:37.650 --> 01:25:42.970
 Yeah, I went to Faithful Word a while back before I moved back to Louisiana.

01:25:42.970 --> 01:25:45.220
 So that's the bayou. There we go.

01:25:45.220 --> 01:25:46.440
 Is this just everyone we know?

01:25:46.440 --> 01:25:47.440
 That's it.

01:25:47.440 --> 01:25:48.630
 Is that it? It's a family reunion?

01:25:48.630 --> 01:25:49.580
 Yeah, exactly.

01:25:49.580 --> 01:25:52.870
 Cool.

01:25:52.870 --> 01:25:53.860
 Well, thanks guys.

01:25:53.860 --> 01:25:57.800
 Yeah, we go back to the Trinitarian controversy and all that stuff.

01:25:57.800 --> 01:26:00.190
 He was a way back.

01:26:00.190 --> 01:26:06.270
 He was in our preaching class and then just one day I just didn't see Jared. He was just

01:26:06.270 --> 01:26:14.420
 gone so he just disappeared into the bayou.

01:26:14.420 --> 01:26:17.550
 Life is strange sometimes. That's what I'll say about that.

01:26:17.550 --> 01:26:19.010
 What's bayou? What's that?

01:26:19.010 --> 01:26:24.020
 Are you still King James only or what?

01:26:24.020 --> 01:26:26.870
 I would say I'm King James preferred.

01:26:26.870 --> 01:26:31.660
 Okay. What about salvation by faith? You still salvation by faith?

01:26:31.660 --> 01:26:32.580
 Yes.

01:26:32.580 --> 01:26:33.910
 Okay.

01:26:33.910 --> 01:26:35.330
 Justification by faith alone.

01:26:35.330 --> 01:26:42.470
 There we go. What about Trinity? You didn't turn into a modalist or something, did you?

01:26:42.470 --> 01:26:55.020
 No, absolutely not. I've been in the IFB up until just very recently. I'm doing instruction

01:26:55.020 --> 01:27:03.590
 on becoming Lutheran right now. So maybe we could talk about that sometime.

01:27:03.590 --> 01:27:08.810
 Can I ask, what's the appeal to Lutheran?

01:27:08.810 --> 01:27:18.950
 So the main appeal for me was just finding out about what the history of Christianity,

01:27:18.950 --> 01:27:27.780
 what people with ancient Christians believed for most of the history of Christianity and

01:27:27.780 --> 01:27:37.980
 how certain things that I thought were not okay to believe as a Christian is what everyone

01:27:37.980 --> 01:27:47.460
 believed for a long time. And so it was kind of the main thing that had me feeling like

01:27:47.460 --> 01:27:53.780
 I was missing out on stuff was the IFB church that I've been going to here for over a year,

01:27:53.780 --> 01:28:01.580
 they haven't partaken of the Lord's Supper once. And what I had learned from just researching

01:28:01.580 --> 01:28:08.730
 about Christian history is that, you know, the Lord's Supper communion was an essential

01:28:08.730 --> 01:28:15.170
 part of the worship of God in church, that people were, you know, they had a very high

01:28:15.170 --> 01:28:22.650
 view of it, that, you know, God would bring forgiveness of sins and grace through the

01:28:22.650 --> 01:28:27.670
 partaking of the Lord's Supper, this is what Christians everywhere believed.

01:28:27.670 --> 01:28:34.650
 That's the Catholic view, yeah, if that's what you're referring to.

01:28:34.650 --> 01:28:40.690
 Well, I mean, we have a different view than Catholics on the Lord's Supper.

01:28:40.690 --> 01:28:43.480
 No, I understand that the Protestant view and the Lutheran view is different on the

01:28:43.480 --> 01:28:48.160
 Eucharist, but I'm just saying specifically, like, the heritage or the history of the Eucharist

01:28:48.160 --> 01:28:54.050
 from the Catholic Church is that it does bring salvation and those kind of things, but again,

01:28:54.050 --> 01:28:59.410
 our Church does perform the Lord's Supper and it's kind of on the seldom side as opposed

01:28:59.410 --> 01:29:02.310
 to mainline Protestant denominations.

01:29:02.310 --> 01:29:07.900
 I mean, a lot of Catholic Churches and Protestant Churches, Episcopalian, Lutheran, they have

01:29:07.900 --> 01:29:09.600
 communion in every single service.

01:29:09.600 --> 01:29:14.070
 In fact, I would argue that's the main emphasis of the Church service, not the preaching.

01:29:14.070 --> 01:29:20.470
 It's more like the communion aspect and again, I'm not against communion at all.

01:29:20.470 --> 01:29:24.310
 I wouldn't even be against the Church if it literally had communion in every service,

01:29:24.310 --> 01:29:28.080
 but I think that the preaching is the emphasis.

01:29:28.080 --> 01:29:30.580
 Again, Luther wanted to reform the Church.

01:29:30.580 --> 01:29:32.400
 I reject the Catholic Church.

01:29:32.400 --> 01:29:36.040
 That's kind of my view and I think there's nothing wrong with people being wrong for

01:29:36.040 --> 01:29:41.770
 a long period of time because if you look throughout history, there's plenty of people

01:29:41.770 --> 01:29:47.190
 that are historical but they're wrong in the sense that look at how long Mormons have existed,

01:29:47.190 --> 01:29:50.870
 they've been wrong the entire time, look how long Islam has existed, they've been wrong

01:29:50.870 --> 01:29:54.310
 the whole time, look at Hindus, they've been wrong for a long time and even the children

01:29:54.310 --> 01:30:00.020
 of Israel if you actually study they did the Passover wrong for like hundreds and hundreds

01:30:00.020 --> 01:30:05.370
 of years and it wasn't until like Hezekiah like reinstituted it that God's like okay

01:30:05.370 --> 01:30:10.010
 now you're actually kind of doing it like what the Bible said. So, you know, to me-

01:30:10.010 --> 01:30:15.920
 Yeah, but the argument, the force of the argument is that some of the things that I believe

01:30:15.920 --> 01:30:25.190
 simply didn't exist at all in the church until like Zwingli came along and nobody believed

01:30:25.190 --> 01:30:39.640
 that the Lord's Supper was just a remembrance, a purely symbolic right of the church. That's

01:30:39.640 --> 01:30:44.800
 a novel teaching. It just didn't exist at all. So if you say, "Well, yeah, I mean, it

01:30:44.800 --> 01:30:50.100
 was right when they got it wrong for a while and then they got it right again," that's

01:30:50.100 --> 01:30:55.990
 not as forceful of an argument as to say, "Well, it just didn't exist until, you know,

01:30:55.990 --> 01:31:00.230
 the 16th century." - Yeah, I wouldn't say that that's...

01:31:00.230 --> 01:31:06.790
 I'm not trying to argue that necessarily because I agree with you, but I would believe that

01:31:06.790 --> 01:31:11.840
 the apostles and the early disciples, of course, did the Lord's Supper correctly, period.

01:31:11.840 --> 01:31:15.140
 Whatever they were doing was probably exactly what was supposed to be done.

01:31:15.140 --> 01:31:16.130
 But even...

01:31:16.130 --> 01:31:17.120
 But think about this.

01:31:17.120 --> 01:31:28.100
 First Corinthians issue in chapter 11, that's a church that's not even really removed much

01:31:28.100 --> 01:31:29.320
 from Christ.

01:31:29.320 --> 01:31:33.620
 And they had the apostle Paul get them saved, and they're screwing up the Lord's communion.

01:31:33.620 --> 01:31:39.570
 So that tells me that if they were screwed up in the first century, that they could have

01:31:39.570 --> 01:31:42.980
 been screwed up at any century, at any time, and that people could be doing it wrong very

01:31:42.980 --> 01:31:44.620
 easily.

01:31:44.620 --> 01:31:49.990
 Additionally, I think that there's probably a lot of history that we just don't know.

01:31:49.990 --> 01:31:57.500
 And I don't really look at the Catholic church as being an authority on history.

01:31:57.500 --> 01:32:03.370
 And I think that there's a lot of stuff out there that contradicts some of these narratives.

01:32:03.370 --> 01:32:08.590
 I've never really studied communion specifically in the first, second, third, fourth, fifth

01:32:08.590 --> 01:32:10.130
 century or anything like that.

01:32:10.130 --> 01:32:17.930
 So I wouldn't know what details or information may exist as far as people doing it differently.

01:32:17.930 --> 01:32:23.900
 But again, the Catholic church will kind of tell people that, like to me, Lutherans basically

01:32:23.900 --> 01:32:27.650
 just adopt all the Catholic history up to a certain point and then say it kind of got

01:32:27.650 --> 01:32:31.380
 corrupt at one point and then they reformed it.

01:32:31.380 --> 01:32:40.380
 And I think that it's a little bit of a propaganda gaslighting narrative of history that some

01:32:40.380 --> 01:32:47.520
 people get sucked into with the Catholic Church and I just think that it's a little bit dangerous.

01:32:47.520 --> 01:32:49.570
 I'm going to have to wrap up this story here.

01:32:49.570 --> 01:32:53.800
 Well, the great thing about Luther is that he's super, super against the Catholic Church.

01:32:53.800 --> 01:32:58.930
 I just finished reading Babylonian Captivity of the Church and then he just tears into

01:32:58.930 --> 01:33:00.180
 them.

01:33:00.180 --> 01:33:04.720
 Oh yeah, Luther was really against a lot of the Catholic stuff, but they were doing bad

01:33:04.720 --> 01:33:05.700
 stuff.

01:33:05.700 --> 01:33:08.800
 I mean selling indulgences, doing crazy things.

01:33:08.800 --> 01:33:16.340
 The popes were super corrupt, so obviously Luther really, really went on some tangents

01:33:16.340 --> 01:33:17.310
 against the Catholic Church.

01:33:17.310 --> 01:33:18.640
 And Jews.

01:33:18.640 --> 01:33:24.970
 Yeah, even the Greek Orthodox don't like the Catholic Church, but again, that's a big conversation.

01:33:24.970 --> 01:33:25.960
 We should probably have a different--

01:33:25.960 --> 01:33:26.960
 That's another two hours.

01:33:26.960 --> 01:33:27.950
 Yeah, that's another 8,000.

01:33:27.950 --> 01:33:28.950
 You want to stay out for what?

01:33:28.950 --> 01:33:29.940
 That's like another 10 years.

01:33:29.940 --> 01:33:30.940
 All night.

01:33:30.940 --> 01:33:32.730
 I got to get home.

01:33:32.730 --> 01:33:33.720
 But thanks so much for--

01:33:33.720 --> 01:33:37.360
 It's 1030 here in Louisiana, too.

01:33:37.360 --> 01:33:38.890
 Well thanks for tuning in, guys.

01:33:38.890 --> 01:33:39.860
 Y'all have a good night.

01:33:39.860 --> 01:33:42.830
 Thanks, Ben, and thanks for joining our space.

01:33:42.830 --> 01:33:43.840
 Y'all have a good night.

01:33:43.840 --> 01:33:43.940
 God bless.
