You've done everything right. You heard God's command and followed it, but things haven't turned out the way you expected them to.  What's going on? Join host Julie Harwick for an incredible biblical teaching on Dealing With Disappointment. *** Welcome to Women World Leaders podcast. I'm your host, Julie Harwick. Thank you for joining me today as we celebrate God's grace in our lives, in this ministry and around the world.  Karen was about to make the biggest mistake of her life.  We'd gotten close in our high school youth group and she was a somewhat new, but very passionate believer.  We'd talked a lot within our group about seeking God and honoring Him in our romantic relationships.  But now that we were in college, Karen was in love and none of the principles we had committed ourselves to seemed to matter anymore. We were all home on Christmas break and Karen had invited us to her wedding which was to take place the following weekend.  She had met a Palestinian guy who was at the university on a student visa.  He didn't want to go to school anymore, but he wanted to stay in the U.S. so his best solution was to get married. At the ripe old age of 20, she was certain that God had brought this man into her life to be the husband that she had always dreamed of and that their only hope to be together was for her to marry him immediately.  One friend, who was especially close to her, had tried to convince her that marrying him now was a bad idea, but Karen simply refuted every argument. A larger group of us got together to discuss the situation and seek God's direction. Karen's fiance' was not a believer, and she was currently living with him, so those were two issues that we could confront with scripture. Matthew 18:15 also told us 5 “Now if your brother sins[k], go and [l]show him his fault [m]in private; if he listens to you, you have gained your brother. 16 But if he does not listen to you, take one or two more with you, so that on the [n]testimony of two or three witnesses every [o]matter may be confirmed, “ We all felt strongly that if we truly cared about Karen, God would have us talk to her about the poor decisions she had already made and the even larger one she was about to make. We looked up and discussed all the relevant scriptures so we'd have a biblical basis for our arguments, and we spent time praying that God would prepare her to really hear us and recognize that what we were saying was coming from love for her and not judgement.  We prayed that our own hearts would be right as we did it and that something  good might even come of it.  Unfortunately, that was not the case.  Her fiancé was there, which made it particularly awkward, and both of their defenses were up.  We suggested that they at least wait to get married since they had known each other for such a short time, hadn't met each other's families and had so many cultural differences.  We asked how they would support themselves since neither had a decent paying job and weren't even close to earning a degree.  They had answers, though not very good ones, for everything. We reminded her of what the bible said about living with someone you're not married to and marrying an unbeliever.  The whole conversation was civil, but tense.  When we had covered every issue and it was clear that she was not receptive to anything we had to say, she thanked us for our concern, and we wished them the best and made our exit. We all shared a very deep sense of discouragement as we left. The last thing I heard about Karen was that she had moved to Gaza with him.  I often wonder what her life has been like and what it might have been. So why did it have to turn out that way?  Were we not faithful to do everything God would have us do?  Going into it, we were confident that if we handled the situation according to scripture, God would work a miracle. Couldn't we look at it sort of like a formula?  God's power + our obedience= a good outcome. But in God's economy, there are no formulas.  Only faith. The prophet Elijah is a perfect example.  First Kings 17 and 18 contain an epic story of how God proved His superiority over any other god in an unmistakable way.  If you're familiar with any of the kings of Israel, one probably stands out because he's part of the worst power couple the nation ever knew.  Ahab and Jezebel were narcissistic, egotistical and just plain evil.  Not only did they lead the people to worship other gods, but they saw the prophet Elijah as the bane of their existence.  Ahab referred to him as, “the troubler of Israel” and Jezebel set out to kill all the true prophets in the country and nearly succeeded. First Kings 16:33 tells us that Ahab did more to provoke the Lord to anger than all the kings of Israel who came before him.  Elijah had the unenviable task of warning Ahab that the entire country would be punished with 3 ½ years of drought because of his sin. As the end of the drought approached God told Elijah to inform the king that he needed to assemble all of Israel on the top of Mt. Carmel, along with all 450 prophets of Baal and the 400 prophets of Ashera.  Ahab complied and Elijah set the stage for the greatest showdown in Israel's history.   Verse 21 says, “Elijah challenged the people: How long are you going to sit on the fence?  If God is the real God, follow Him.  If it's Baal, follow him.  Make up your minds!”  He then instructed the prophets of Baal to set up an altar and prepare an ox for a sacrifice.  He would do the same, but neither he nor they could light a fire.  They would each pray to their god and the one who ignited and consumed the sacrifice would prove to be the true god.  The prophets of Baal prayed all morning long, but nothing happened.  By noon, Elijah began to mock them, suggesting that Baal didn't answer because he was sleeping or too busy, possibly on vacation or maybe even occupied using the toilet.  As more time passed, they became more desperate, finally resorting to cutting themselves as a sacrifice until they were covered with blood.  But still, there was absolutely no response from Baal. At this point, Elijah declared that their time was up, and he would prepare his sacrifice. The crowd was mystified when he dug a large trench all around the altar and commanded that four buckets of water be poured over the sacrifice and the wood until both were drenched and the trench was filled with water.  Rather than performing mystical rituals or cutting himself, Elijah simply prayed, “Oh God, God of Abraham, Issac and Israel, make it known right now that You are God in Israel, that I am Your servant and I'm doing what I'm doing under Your orders.  Answer me God and reveal to this people that You are God, the true God and that You are giving these people another chance at repentance.”  Verse 38 tells us that immediately the fire of God fell and completely consumed the offering – even licking up every drop of water in the trench!  The people fell on their faces in worship and declared, “God is the true God!”  He instructed the people to capture the prophets of Baal and execute them.  He suggested that King Ahab eat and drink in celebration because the Lord was about to send rain.  Everyone did exactly as they were instructed.  Elijah climbed to the peak of the mountain and began to pray for rain.  Seven times he sent his servant to look toward the sea for signs of rain. On the seventh try, the servant reported a very small cloud, no bigger than a human hand.  Elijah sent him to warn Ahab that he'd better head home quickly before the coming rain stopped him.  Immediately the sky grew dark, the winds picked up and 3 ½ years' worth of rain began to fall.  God supernaturally empowered Elijah to run like no one has ever run before or since.  The chapter closes with Elijah overtaking and running ahead of Ahab's chariot all the way to the palace. What a day for Elijah, right?  His prophecies all came true.  He was completely vindicated.  God showed up in a way no one could deny.  The people all acknowledged that He was the one true God and destroyed every false prophet with zeal. Desperately needed rain fell in abundance and Elijah outran a team of horses for miles and miles!  God's power + Elijah's obedience had completely turned things around!  Or had it? Ahab lost no time in bringing Jezebel up to speed on all that had transpired.  But her focus was not at all on the  miraculous events that had just occurred, but on her beloved 450 prophets of Baal who had just been eliminated. She immediately sent a messenger to Elijah informing him that by the next day, he'd be as dead as any of those prophets. Elijah had been on a spiritual high that we can only begin to imagine.  After years of misery, he had finally come out on top and more importantly, God had used him to bring Israel to repentance!  It was as if the day's events had steadily inflated a giant balloon of hope for Elijah, but this message from Jezebel was a pin that unexpectedly popped and completely deflated that balloon.  He and his servant immediately fled to neighboring Judah.  He left his servant and went a day's journey into the desert.  Taking shelter under a bush, he collapsed and begged God to let him die.  Physically and emotionally spent, he fell asleep.  As Elijah slept, God sent an angel to provide food and water for him at regular intervals. The only instructions given to him were to eat, drink and sleep because he had a long journey ahead of him.  When he had regained his strength, he traveled 40 days and nights to Mt. Horeb, the mountain of God, where he took up residence in a cave.  Hmmm. Mt. Horeb? Does that name ring a bell?  Or maybe its alternate name of Mt. Sinai?  If it doesn't, I'll give you a clue.  It's called the mountain of God because it's where God met with Moses and gave him the ten commandments. And when I think of Moses, I begin to see some parallels with Elijah's experience.  Moses was also used by God to do extraordinary things for the nation of Israel.  He also prophesied to a king, pharaoh actually, who hated him.  He called the people to follow God and worship Him only. After miracle upon miracle and seeing the burning mountain of God and experiencing His awe-inspiring presence from the foot of the mountain those people declared, “ All that the Lord has commanded, we will do.”  But when Moses spent too much time on the mountain with God, they feared he wasn't coming back and decided to forget the covenant they had made and create a golden calf to worship.  Both Moses and Elijah thought that the miracles they had taken part in had truly changed the people, but their behavior quickly revealed that it had not.  Neither man had asked God for the positions in which they found themselves.  They were reluctant, yet obedient servants.  I wonder if it seemed to them that God was simply toying with them for His own amusement. But that wasn't it at all. He was preparing them for an encounter with Himself that was unlike anything any other human ever experienced.  When God asked Elijah what he was doing on the mountain, he replied, “I have worked very hard for the Lord God of the heavens, but the people of Israel have broken their covenant with You and torn down Your altars and killed Your prophets and only I am left, and now they are trying to kill me too.”  God responded by telling Elijah to stand before Him on the mountain.  “And as Elijah stood there, the Lord passed by and a mighty windstorm hit the mountain; it was such a terrible blast that the rocks were torn loose, but the Lord was not in the wind.  After the wind, there was an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake. After the earthquake there was a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire. And after the fire, there was the sound of a gentle whisper. When Elijah heard it, he covered his face.”  After this incredible encounter with the Almighty, God gave him further prophecies and the reassurance that there were actually more than 7000 people in Israel who served the true God.  Elijah left the mountain renewed, encouraged and with a completely new understanding of Who God was.  Moses had a similar experience after he had dealt with the people's sin of making a golden calf to worship.  Angry and discouraged by their behavior and overwhelmed at the prospect of leading such people, Moses asked God for a sign that He would actually be present with them for every step of the journey ahead. God warned him not to look at His face.  Moses was to step inside a cleft in the rock on the mountain facing away from God.  God would pass by and Moses could gaze on His glory from behind.  Not only did this experience give Moses the courage and determination to keep leading the people, but it transformed him physically.  When he came down from the mountain, his face was radiant with God's glory, so much so, that the people were afraid to look at him.  It wore off eventually, but there could be no doubt that he had been in the presence of God. I had been familiar with both of these stories for years, but somehow, I had missed the connection.  And it goes even further.  Do you remember who Peter, James and John saw talking with Jesus when He was transfigured?  It was Moses and Elijah. Perhaps Jesus wanted his disciples to think about the special place those two men held in God's heart.  The disciples had equally hard times awaiting them.  Was Jesus preparing them by reminding them of how His Father cared for and rewarded the faithful?  The Apostle Paul undoubtedly heard the story from Peter and it wasn't lost on him.  It may have inspired him to write Romans 5: 1-5 and those words are the perfect way to close. “Therefore, being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through Whom also we have obtained our introduction by faith into this grace in which we stand; and we exult in the hope of the glory of God. And not only this, but we exult in our tribulations, knowing that tribulation brings about perseverance; and perseverance, proven character; and proven character; hope, and hope does not disappoint.” Thanks for listening to Women World Leaders podcast!  Join us each week as we explore together God's extravagant love and your courageous purpose.  Visit our website at www.womenworldleaders.com to submit a prayer request, register for an upcoming event, and support the ministry.  From His heart to yours, we are Women World Leaders .  All content is copyrighted by Women World Leaders and cannot be used without written consent.

Mais qui est vraiment celui que l'on tient pour responsable de tous les vices ? Contrairement à l'idée que l'on peut s'en faire, le diable est loin d'être une création purement judéo-chrétienne, comme si les Juifs puis les Chrétiens avaient tout inventé. Ce serait bien trop réducteur de limiter son origine à la bible et à la Genèse. Et justement, on ne trouve dans les textes de l'Ancien Testament, aucune mention de « démon » à proprement parler. Ce nom, emprunté au grec « daïmôn », « le conseiller intime », est sans rapport avec la culture judaïque. Bien sûr, le diable est irrémédiablement lié à la bible, c'est impossible de dire le contraire, mais son histoire est bien plus complexe. Et il n'en fallait pas moins pour un tel personnage, ou devrais-je dire de tels personnages au pluriel ! Le diable est une créature bien singulière, il est loin d'être le seul à incarner le Mal. Pour comprendre ça, il faut et remonter près de 4000 ans avant notre ère, dans la mythologie orientale…

r this message is available Introduction James 5 We are in our penultimate study of the book of James. One more to go after this. We end the book of James next week on Easter Sunday. Now if you were with us last time, we looked at the beginning of this concluding paragraph of James. James is concluding his letter with a call for prayer. Why? Because in a letter that is all about giving us evidences of faith, he closes with the greatest evidence. He closes with the slam dunk. What is it? It is prayer. There is no greater evidence. And that's not just homiletical hype. It's just a fact. Suppose a man's boat is sinking at sea. That man needs a power outside of himself, an outside entity like the coast guard to come save him. What would be the evidence of that? He would get on the radio and call for help. That would be the irrefutable evidence of the location of his greatest source of hope. And so James concludes his letter by saying, you want to know how to tell if you have faith in God? You want to know where your true hope lies. Do you trust in self-repair? Do you trust in your ability to bail water faster than it is coming in? Do you trust in your dingy of self-effort? Or do you trust in the life-saving power of the God of the Universe? The evidence that you trust in God will be prayer. Prayer, prayer, prayer. So last week, James said: If you are suffering, here's what I want you to do: pray. If you are rejoicing, here's what I want you to do: pray. If you are physically sick or spiritually weak, here's what I want you to do: pray. And last week we closed with the first half of verse 16. The exhortation was to pray. Now today what James is going to do is inspire us that this is not just a spiritual exercise without a point. There can be tremendous power in prayer. “The prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working.” And today we are going to see what it is that makes prayer powerful. Now to instruct us, he gives us an example. Now here's what we are going to do. Let's first just tell tell the story that James is referencing. Then at the very end, we'll re-read James and I think the application will just drop right in place. So the story of Elijah and the 450 prophets of Baal comes from 1 Kings 17-18. A little background. When we open up chapter 17, it's been about one hundred years since the united monarchy. The kingdom is now divided between Israel in the North and Judah in the South. Ahab is King along with his lovely wife, Jezebel. Ahab and Jezebel, together, were on a campaign to try to and make Israel religiously tolerant. They have torn down many of the altars to YHWH. They have replaced them with idols to Baal who was a great rain god, a storm god. And Baal worship and Ashera worship was horribly immoral on so many levels. And of course God is not happy about this. God wants to turn the hearts of his people back to him. So what does God do? Well, God's leading prophet at the time is Elijah. So the Lord sends his prophet Elijah to Ahab and Jezebel and in verse 1 we read, 1 Kings 17 Now why does God cause a drought? Because it's God's way of challenging the slick and shiny new god Baal that had become so popular. Baal is the god of the storm, the god of rain. So really he's saying, “Go ahead and pray for rain. Pray to Baal all you want. Pray it up. We'll see who's the Lord of the storm.” Because god is God, Elijah says, you can pray all day long and it will do ZERO because Baal does not give rain. YHWH does. And YHWH, BECAUSE HE IS REAL, has decreed ZERO rain until I give the word. Now if you know anything about the climate of Israel you know that a drought of that magnitude never happens. Israel is a desert climate and there have always been droughts but it always rains some. I pulled the weather data for Israel for the last hundred years. The least amount of rain they ever received in the last 100 years was 7 inches (by comparison we get about 12 here).So here we are told in the text that they would receive neither dew nor rain unless Elijah spoke the word. That would truly be a miracle. Israel is sitting right off the Mediteranian sea. You have this monster body of water and all that moisture just right there. Your going to get some rain. And yet ZERO. NADA. And they wait. So the rest of chapter 17 is Elijah along with the rest of Israel suffering this out. This where you get to story of Elijah being fed by the ravens and staying with the Widow and raising her son and all that. 1 Kings 18 Three years. This is way serious. So Elijah is sent to Ahab to put an an end to all this. God is going to send rain and demonstrate that he is the God of the storm, not Baal. Now watch how this interaction goes down between Elijah and Ahab. A time is arranged for the two of them to meet and we read in verse 17: Ahab sees Elijah and sticks out his bony finger. You! You troubler of Israel. Elijah says, “Ha you think I'm the problem?!” No sir. You are the problem. You have drug the name of YHWH through the mud. You have scorned his commands. You have worshiped other Gods. And you think I'm the problem? You're abandonment of God has caused this drought, not me. I am just the messenger. I am the Postal worker handing you a letter. Now if you pause for a second, what you have here are two interpretations of the same event. We both agree there is no rain. Why? Ahab's interpretation is, it's because of Elijah. Elijah's interpretation is it's because of Ahab. Whose right? Let's setup a little experiment which both parties agree would be ultimately conclusive. So here's what Elijah suggests. The question that is being asked is this, “Who controls the weather?” That is not a trivia question. They are all suffering. Deeply suffering. Animals are dying. People are dying. Crops are dying. This is not an inconsequential moment. It's not a question of who controls the rain. It's a question of whose God can bring us salvation? Which God is real? Which God has power? Which God cares? Let's setup an experiment to see. Now everyone is here knowing this is a contest. And Elijah confronts them before the contest starts. How long will you go limping between two opinions? Here's what Elijah is saying: There are only two positions, Israel. You can't logically stay neutral. Either the claim of YHWH is true or the claim of YHWH is false. "Either YHWH is the one and only God or he is not. Which is it? Either there is one god or many. You are either for God or against him. You either believe his claims or you don't. Decide. To be neutral, to not take a stand, is delusional. To stand in the swmapy middle is to get the benefit of neither and to get the scorn of both. You can't limp between two opinions. C.S. Lewis once said, “Christianity, if false, is of no importance, and if true, of infinite importance. The only thing it cannot be is moderately important.” Choose. Elijah is really pressing on this point. And apparently the logic silences the people. They see they are in checkmate. We can't say we believe in YHWH because if we believe in YHWH, then we need to do what YHWH says and YHWH says we are supposed to destroy the Baals and we like the Baals. So they stay silent. The nation of Israel has become comfortable with a logical inconsistency. They have come to the point where they have said, “No, YHWH, he's a great God. We like YHWH. We will totally sacrifice to him. We also like Baal. We also like Asherah." And Elijah forces them to this uncomfortable point, "If you say you love YHWH then you must hate Baal and Asherah. There is no other option.” They have no answer. Elijah takes their silence as permission to proceed with the showdown. So for starters that's not very good odds. Don't forget there's also 400 prophets of Asherah present. So we have 850:1. Not good odds. But this is the pattern of God. God goes out of the way to create these sorts of moments. He loves when the weak things of the world shame the wise. So now we get the rules. Here's the contest rules. Here's how we compare in a fair and equitable way. In other words, we both get an altar. We both get wood. We both get a bull. But neither of us gets fire. The God who provides the fire is the real God. Who can deny that this would be the great evidence of which God is real? I mean, that would pretty much seal the deal, right? Who could deny it? You guys are many. You should be able to do this a bit quicker than me. You guys go first. After four hours of screaming and wailing they are answered with silence. Nothing. And so Elijah interjects and begins to help them interpret the silence. He says, maybe the problem is your lack earnestness and sincerity. I think you need to turn up the volume. And so Elijah who has a PhD in sarcasm, begins to mock them. And I imagine Elijah's sarcasm really just screwing down their resolve. Mockery has a way of shoveling coal into the engine that protects our pride. And they work themselves into a frothing, foaming mess. What a graphic picture. And how sad! The gushing blood of self-destruction. This is the graphic end of all idol worship, self-destruction. It could be the worship of money, sex, power, image, acceptance, whatever…. You give and you give and you give yourself to your god and the price becomes steeper and steeper and so you give more and more. You give your sweat your tears, you give your blood, you give your life, you sacrifice everything and because it is no god at all, it will not answer you and will not deliver you and will not satisfy you. And you lay on the ground panting and dying and without life. Look at the scene. Here they are after the full day is spent and still thirsty. They are cut open and dying. The sun is out baking their exhausted frames. And there is nothing. Why? Lack of sincerity? Lack of zeal? No. It's because Baal isn't real. At the end of the day, is not this the only question that matters? What's real? Sincerity apart from truth equals destruction. So just silence. Blood all over the ground. Bodies passed out from exhaustion. Panting weak frames. No attention. No response. No answer. Just deafening silence. So Elijah steps forward. Have you had enough? Man, that's a statement. You see this altar you ordered to be tore down, Ahab. That was a mistake. Perhaps you have abandoned the very thing that could have saved you? Your discernment of what has worth is a bit off, Ahab. And you can imagine Elijah, the sole prophet surrounded by thousands of people. And the sound of those stones clanking one against another. So let's just consider the odds: You have 850 prophets versus 1 You have dry wood versus soaked wood. You have a dry bull versus soaked bull. And no trench of water versus full trench of water. Elijah is in this incredible position of weakness and honestly foolishness. Why? You want to know why? So God can flex. God's gonna flex. It's a statement, "I want to show you just how in control of this whole thing I am. I want to demonstrate that nothing that happens is accidental. I want to demonstrate that at my word creation leaps into obedience. God loves weakness. He loves to use weak. Who among us feels weak right now? Who feels drug down by life? Who feels like a failure and absolutely unable to do anything for God's kingdom. Well then you are perfect material. That's exactly who God loves to use. The Prayer It's now Elijah's turn. All eyes were on him. I'm sure the Baal worshipers are licking their jobs. There are some people sharpening their spears. And I'm sure Elijah is thinking, “I hope this works.” The other prophets danced. They screamed. It was a frenzy. There was potions and screaming and cutting. It would have been chaos to watch. By contrast. One prophet. And Elijah does no ritual. He just talks conversationally to God. And here is what he prays: Next comes the most explicit purpose statement in all the story. We'll come back to it but just read it for now. So that's the prayer. The prayer is TWO SENTENCES. I just love that. TWO SENTENCES. The prophets of Baal have been at it for FOUR HOURS and Elijah prays TWO SENTENCES. And now it's just quiet. Now, I want you to think about what everyone at this point is likely expecting. Why did they setup this contest? They are wanting what? They are wanting rain. And so they said, “He who answers by fire is the true God.” So what do you think they were expecting? Or to say it another way, in what form do you think they expected the fire to come? Lighting, right. I think they would have expected the clouds to slowly build. Okay the clouds are rolling in. They are getting thicker and thicker. That's what everyone wants. We want the gods to break the drought. Now let's just say the clouds start rolling in. Everyone gets excited, “One of them is answering.” **But the question is, “Which God is causing this to happen?** That's the great question, right? Whose the God of the rain?” And so the lighting is going to answer. Strike the altar of Baal. He's God. Strike the altar of Elijah, YHWH'S God. That's what everybody is expecting. Who knows, maybe even Elijah is expecting this. But God wants it to be totally clear. I don't want this to be a guessing game or maybe that this is some rando accidental stray lighting bolt. After Elijah's two sentence prayer out of the CLEAR BLUE SKY… The bull. The wood. The water. The stones — even the stones. Consumed in a flash. You can kind of imagine the shock, the surprise, the terror. Can you imagine the freakin scene? You have all these prophets and their knees turn to jelly and they fall with their face in the sand. Just zoom out and observe the the dual: Over here you have the side of Baal. You have the prophets pealing their faces off the dirt with mouths wide open. They have blood dripping down their arms. You have the altar with this giant bull and the blood is dried on his fur and his tongue is just hanging out of his mouth and there are flies just buzzing around. That's Baal. And then you have the side of YHWH. And there's just a smoldering hole in the earth where the soaked animal, on the soaked wood on the soaked stones once stood. And there's one man, Elijah, with fire in his eyes. Dang. That would leave an impression. Now what was the purpose of this whole deal? We said we'd come back to verse 37: There are two purposes for this miracle. Purpose #1. YHWH is God. YHWH is not an idea. YHWH is not folk tradition or a memory. YHWH is not a figurehead of some religion. YHWH is not something that exists only in the imagination. YHWH is not a cultural expression of a particular people group. YHWH is not a force. He's not a symbol. YHWH is GOD — the living, active, fire-sending, sin-hating, idolatry-destroying, prayer-hearing, personal God. “when all the people saw it, they fell on their faces and said, The LORD, he is God” Purpose #1 accomplished. There was a second purpose. Purpose #2 was that “that this people may know that you have turned their hearts back.” Cause the people of Israel to know that God did it. Let's make a really clear distinction between what they did and what God did. Here's what they did. Their hearts ran after the Baals and Asheroths. Their hearts betrayed God. Their hearts Spurned God. Their hearts Belittled God. Their hearts loved other things more than God. Their hearts had Devalued God. That's what they did And here's what God did. God intervened. He showed his power. He flexed. He turned them back. God saved. God rescued. God did it. That's the point of the story. Hang on to that as we come back to James. Now the prophets of Baal are rounded up an executed. Even though it is not explicitly stated in the text, my guess is that this was a pre-agreed upon arrangement. The prophets of the losing god die. Whose doing the seizing? Elijah was by himself, remember? Answer: the people whose hearts have been turned back! Part of repentance is destroying whatever God you had been worshiping. Now God had promised that their would be rain that day. And now we can almost taste it. God said it would rain. But just because God says something is ABSOLUTELY going to happen, doesn't mean vehicles aren't necessary to make it happen. I can decide to go to Costco, but I need a vehicle. Right? God says it will rain. He chooses to do it through the vehicle of Elijah's prayer. Think about it: the OMNIPOTENT power of God is like a passenger who rides the vehicle of Elijah's prayer. So here is Elijah, a normal man, a common man, a man with a nature like ours and it's his prayer which becomes the vehicle that carries the power of the RAIN CREATING God of the universe. What? What a privilege. He's dead serious. He's desperate. He's fervent. And he prays. Now why do you think he got up and had his messenger look? Because he thought his first prayer worked. And it didn't. So what did he do? He prayed again. And why do you think he sent his messenger a second time? Because he thought, surely, now God will answer. It's time. It's past time. But it didn't. So he prayed a third. Nothing. A fourth. Nothing. A fifth. Nothing. A sixth. Nothing. But then finally it happened. Okay, so that's the story. We needed to do all that work (and it wasn't really work; that was fun!). We did that review so we could apply our text today. So let's go back to the book of James: Now what is James' point here? James wants us to pray? You suffering? Pray. You joyful? Pray. You sick spiritually or physically? Pray. That's what I want you to do. Now because we are weak humans, we need encouragement. Have you ever felt like your prayers were ineffective? Have you ever felt like your prayers were not answered in the way you hoped. You ever prayed once, twice, three, four, five times and felt like your prayers did nothing. Well James is here to inspire us and to remind us of the power of prayer. And you are asking the question, what do I need to do to make my prayers effective? James has an answer. I think this point comes as one of the greatest points of encouragement. It's the same sort of encouragement a weekend golfer receives when he watches a PGA tour pro shank his drive straight into the pond. Okay, you are human. There's a sort of sick delight that comes from that. It's not actually encouraging to watch top-notch excellence all day long because none of us can relate. That's not me. They are amazing. They can play the piano so fast I can't see their fingers and they never make a mistake. Those basketball players are freaks of nature. That Musk guy can build a company that shoots rockets into space, while also managing a boring company and a solar company and a car company and a battery company. Wow. I can't do that. I barely know how to change the battery in my smoke alarm. We look at excellence and we say, “I know that none of this is attainable for me.” I don't have the genetics. I don't have the money, the educational advantages, the connections, the skills. I wasn't dealt that deck of cards. It doesn't matter how much I train, how much I dedicate myself. I'm too far behind. I could never be that. They are amazing. I am a loser. But here we have this man, Elijah, and the first thing we are told is that the man Elijah had a nature just like you and I. There was absolutely nothing exceptional about Elijah. Here's what Elijah was. He was human. If you are human you have everything necessary to experience the same world shaping power of prayer as Elijah experienced. Folks, that is encouraging. Elijah's prayer accomplished much. We see this clearly in the text. He prayed fervently that it would not rain… We see it. Face between his knees. Once, twice, three four five times. What is the place of fervency? Clearly, fervency is important. Do you remember the story of the persistent neighbor. The story is of a man who comes to his neighbor at night asking for break. And the guy's in the middle of his sleep and he's all warm in his blankets and he says, "Dude, go back home." But he keeps asking. And eventually, he gives in, not because he's a friend but because he's annoyed and wants to sleep. Jesus commends persistence. He loves fervency. Why? It's not that Jesus wants to be annoyed. He can't be annoyed. The reason fervency honors the Lord is because it's a confident assertion of where help really lies.It's the great indicator that a “no” from God does not mean, “God has abandoned me, turn to other sources of help.” When we continue to pray we proclaim, “Nothing else can help me. I have nowhere else to turn. It's the great proclamation.” The cry of a child to his parents, however annoying and disrespectful it may be, does say one thing loud and clear. You and you alone can help. I'm not going to go randomly ask some stranger on the sidewalk. I'm asking you mom, because I know you care. You want to know why kids at foster homes don't cry? Because they've learned that these care workers won't help me. It's pointless to cry. My persistence does nothing. My fervency is ignored. Persistent prayer is an indicator of faith. Persistent prayer is trust in the love of caring father. It's an indicator of faith. But persistent prayer by itself is not enough. Do you see the fervency of the Baal worshippers. They were fervent. They got nothing. Fervency must be coupled with righteousness. The effective prayer of a righteous man accomplishes much. I want to rescue this term from what I'm guessing you think it means. We use this term so improperly. We would describe a man as righteous and in doing so what comes to mind is law-abiding, a man who does good works, a man who abstains from evil. Its almost a synonym for moral. Disabuse your mind of that. That is not how the Bible uses the word. Righteous means, RIGHT WITH GOD. If you are righteous you are right with God and if you are unrighteous you are NOT RIGHT WITH GOD. That's all the word means. So when we talk about being someone who is self-righteous, what we are saying is that this person is trying to get right with God by themselves. They are trying to make themselves right with God by their good works, by their performance, by their effort. The Bible says there is only one kind of righteous person. The only way to be righteous is to receive a righteousness that is not your own. The only way to be righteous is to let someone else make you righteous. You don't work yourself into a froth like the Baal worshipers to make yourself acceptable to God. God said to Elijah, I am going to perform this great wonder so that they may know that they will know who I am and that I turned their hearts back to me. In Elijah's day, that's righteousness. Acknowledge what God has done. The sacrifice has been accepted. He is God. Today is Palm Sunday where we acknowledge Jesus Christ, the sacrifice, riding into Jerusalem to be nailed to a tree. What are we looking at here? God the father is saying, "I am going to perform this great wonder so that they may know that they will know who I am and that I turned their hearts back to me." We are approaching Easter where God breaks jaws of death. We approach Easter where resurrection life is realized through this great wonder of the cross. We come to Easter to receive a gift of life that is not achieved through the frothy foamy self-righteousness. Receive that gift and your prayer becomes a vehicle for the God of the universe. The prayer of that man, that man who has received a righteousness not his own, that prayer of that man is effective.

Summary Pastor Bill and Pastor Newms were discussing Genesis 1 and the history of how it became included as part of the book of Genesis. They discussed how during the captivity in Babylon, stories from Babylon were added to the existing Genesis 2, as they provided more detail to the creation story. Pastor Newms then reminded Pastor Bill that the Judeans, ancestors of the Jews, were originally a polytheistic people. In summary, the conversation revolved around the history of Genesis 1 and the Judeans. The conversation discussed the ancient Israelites and their belief in multiple gods and their worship of Ashra, a female deity who was believed to be the wife of Yahweh. Yahweh is mentioned in both Sumerian mythology and in the Mosaic Law. Despite this, the Israelites continued to worship other gods, so God punished them by sending them into captivity. The descendants of these captives went on to become the Samaritans, who still held onto some of their beliefs and were expecting the Messiah. Despite their own experiences with God, they eventually gave up the worship of Asherah. Pastor Bill and Pastor Newms discussed the origin of the story of Genesis 1. They noted that it was likely adapted from Sumerian myth by the Babylonians, who wanted the Jewish people to worship their king as a monotheistic god. However, the Jewish people saw similarities between the Sumerian myth and their own history, and made changes to make it more palatable to their own culture. They read Genesis 1, noting the broader strokes of the story, as compared to the more detailed account of Genesis 2. Ultimately, the conversation concluded with an invitation to read Genesis 1. God began the creation of the world by separating light from darkness and creating an expanse between the waters. He then caused the earth to produce vegetation, seed-bearing plants, and fruit trees. He made the two great lights to rule over the day and night and placed stars in the sky. He also caused the waters to swarm with living creatures and the earth to produce livestock, creatures that crawl, and wildlife. On the fifth day, God looked on His creation and saw that it was good.   The topic according to AI In the religious reflection being discussed, the authors believe that the creation story in the book of Genesis is a historical truth and has a significant impact on our relationship with God as our creator. They argue that the form of the document, its position at the beginning of the book of Genesis, and historical evidence all support the idea that the creation of the heavens, the earth, and all living things is a work of God and an objective fact. The authors critique the limitations of science in establishing the periods of creation and argue that the conclusions about fossiliferous formations and the plants and animals they contain are not established truths and have not been confirmed by continued research. The author summarizes the creation story in Genesis 1:1-13, which describes the creation of heaven and earth, including the creation of light, the firmament, the sea, the earth and its fruits, the lights of heaven, fish and fowl, beasts, man, and food for both. The text stresses the importance of recognizing God's presence in our lives and putting Him first in all things. Humans were created in God's image and given the ability to have dominion over the earth, but it is important to ask God to control the evil in our hearts. The authors also emphasize the importance of examining one's daily work and making improvements, as well as the divine proportioning of day and night, with light symbolizing God, truth, heaven, and decency. The beauty of nature is seen as evidence of the existence of God, and the darkness in the book of Genesis is a symbol of the ongoing struggle between light and darkness. The authors' central belief is that God is the creator of all things and that creation serves to reveal the truth about His nature and character. They see the relationship between science and God as complementary, with design being at the core of both, and believe that the concept of light and darkness in the book of Genesis is a symbol of the ongoing struggle between good and evil. The author encourages us to live in the Spirit and serve the common good, putting God first in all things, as they believe this is the greatest honor and safety for all. The authors also focus on two specific Hebrew words in the creation story, "nephesh" and "tannin," and offer alternative interpretations to gain a deeper understanding of their significance. They assert that the universe and all its elements were created for a purpose, as an expression of God's love and grace for humanity, and that everything in creation is imbued with a Divine Blessing that serves to preserve the community and support all life. The author presents a comprehensive view of the creation of the sea and air creatures in the Bible, as they see it as a demonstration of God's wisdom, power, and love. They believe that the creation of the universe is not just a physical event but a spiritual one as well, and that the universe was created with a purpose and a specific role to play in God's overall plan. The author interprets the creation story in Genesis 1 as a depiction of God's creative work and argues that all elements of the universe, including sea and air creatures, are symbols of God's glory and power. They delve into the meanings of the Hebrew words "nephesh" and "tannin" used in Genesis 1, offering alternative interpretations to shed light on their significance in the creation story. The authors highlight the numerous ways in which God's presence and power are manifested in the universe, from the physical laws governing the movement of stars and planets to the intricate and diverse forms of life on earth.

I'm Pastor Bill and I'm joined by Pastor Newms. So last week we had all kinds of technical difficulties that I was completely oblivious to until I went to go listen to the thing. Pastor Newms tried to bring it up at the very, very beginning, but he wasn't as forceful as I, you know, as I actually needed him to be. So I didn't really pick up what he was putting down and I just pushed just ahead Yeah, I was like apologies pastor Newms I should have listened better when you were saying I mean last week and Some people might not have even noticed I'm gonna be honest like it's one of those things where are you kidding me? It was horrible. Pastor Newms: [0:47] Well, it was horrible once it went through well Yeah, it was horrible. But like I'll be honest your audio has sounded worse because of technical like oh it's a bad night so you're in and out oh it's fuzzy cuz discourse so it's one of those where it's like okay how much do I bring up the fact that it could be electrical issues like microphone issues it could just be like the the internet is so garbage there that the laser beam doesn't want to work at the moment like you know we're not using cables in the lane yeah like so I was like maybe you know you know I don't know man I don't know but it um it was yeah I. Pastor Bill: [1:35] Got my retro Justice League shirt on Pastor Newms: I do not have a retro shirt on I have a shirt that's from an active anime and manga Which so I bought this shirt, and I didn't wear it I hadn't worn it because I wasn't far enough in the anime to justify wearing an anime shirt if that makes sense I don't know if anyone else does that But so I pulled it out of the back of the closet today and um put it on and my youngest daughter who is Far farther ahead in this particular. Anime than I am she is. Um, where'd that shirt come from? What do you mean? Um, your shirt, you've never worn that shirt. Where did you get that shirt? Uh, is that a... is that a you shirt? Like, asking, is this a you only? Can I steal this shirt when you're not looking? Will you get upset if I steal this shirt when you're not looking? You know, and I'm like, yes it is. It's a me only shirt. I didn't wear it because I wasn't... and she's like, well I mean can you even name the characters on it? I'm like look, you're not weeb-guilting me into giving you the shirt and no I can't name all of them but weeb-guilting? You can't have this shirt so not your shirt and for in case it's my hero academia in case you can't, I realize you can't actually see it But, um... Yeah, so then she proceeds to tell me each person and what their quirk superpower is. And, uh... I think I'm trying to keep it to myself. Pastor Bill: [3:39] Am I in Justice League of America? Pastor Newms: [3:44] It is. Pastor Bill: [3:48] And Batman's got his blue cowl on, so this is more 50s, 60s... Pastor Newms: [3:56] And and that's the you know Weird arrow when they were you know when his costume was I mean sorry Green Lantern when it was a We like it's a different You know Style It's not his. Pastor Bill: [4:19] Black pants, black boots, black mask. Green... uh, green... underwear, green boots. Pastor Newms: [4:27] Bill says it's the... Biggs says it's the 70s. Pastor Bill: [4:32] Did they keep this up all the way through the 70s? Pastor Newms: [4:35] You guys can argue about DC lore later, cause... Pastor Bill: [4:37] I was just basing it off of the Blue Cowl. I know the Blue Cowl... Pastor Newms: [4:48] Um... anyway. I don't know. Oh, he says the 70s is when the Saturday cartoons were showing that style, but that's not necessarily possibly when the books were still using that style. Alright, Pastor Bill, how was your week? Pastor Bill: [5:04] My week... There was rain. Pastor Newms: [5:10] And wind. And storms. Pastor Bill: [5:13] Some roof leakage. I see the water damage in the ceiling above my desk. You know like that discoloration that What's the word Cheat rock gets when it gets wet Yeah Yeah, I had to move my stuff around on my desk and put a big bowl out until the storm stopped because it was tripping just Doop doop doop doop doop doop doop. I was like, oh no, that's not good Your house terrifies me sir Yeah Yeah Yeah, all right nightmare. Pastor Newms: [5:53] It just blew over During the storms like you woke up and the house had gone boop Um hadn't hurt any of y'all because the the house is so old. It just kind of went. Yeah And you guys were able to get out but it just went meh um Okay fell over and everything that fell on us was so weak and brittle. Yeah, it just meh it broke over us. Meh meh meh so um uh yeah it was one of those you have nothing to worry about the house is just gonna go meh and you got nothing to worry about well shelter shelter Okay, my week was good. Um, my week was weird um, I was busy but but like it was an okay busy and then at night I just had stuff all week It was weird. I have stuff a lot more now And it's weird me an invite on Facebook to a Yeah. Sure thing Yeah, that's the men's group at the church and every last Friday last Monday of the month they do a thing and I thought I had sent it to you before but I hadn't so I sent it to you so in case you wanted to watch it because I was sitting in the audience watching it it's good they're a good group very good group I like it I don't dislike like it which is weird because I've been I've been out of organized church for so long it's you know hiding in mega churches not serving not doing anything and then I'm very quickly getting involved more and more the next three Saturdays I actually have things at the church so it's it's good it's it's a it's a good thing but it's a weird thing and like today rain was like I don't like it and I was like why she goes I don't like being out of the house this much we're out of the house way too much at this point like that's my girl but we have to be a little it's okay so um yeah so it was it was a was a good week. Pastor Bill: [8:32] All right. I think it's my week to pull a card. Pastor Newms: [8:35] It is. Okidoki-o. Okidoki-o, pull the card. Pastor Bill: [8:53] That's fair. Pastor Newms: [8:54] Okay. I couldn't see it. It was behind my face. So I'm like, I'm like, what are you doing? Like pull the card? What are you looking at me for homie you said you were full of the car Oh, you're looking at the card that makes much more sense than you staring at my picture Yes, I'm staring at a picture of Newms If you could only eat one food for the rest of your life, what would it be? The problem here is this. It's like I hate your stipulations on these cards. Just answer That's the dadgum question. The easiest answer is pizza. Pastor Bill: [9:38] And the reason that is thingsy. Pastor Newms: [9:39] Well, the problem is Pete exactly Diverse like exactly that's why it's the easy answer So the question like if it's you could only have pepperoni pizza No, I couldn't do that. Like I would end up with a gout flare-up that would rival, you know 15 1600s type gout flare-ups like it would be terrible. But like And you can't answer salad because no or a film Yeah, or some random chemical that because I've been told you can't be allergic to chlorophyll But yet I'm allergic to anything that's green or pretends to be green There are people that are straight-up allergic to water that walk the earth. You can't tell me you can't be allergic to chlorophyll I can't tell you I've been told by physicians and allergists that that's not a thing, but of course You know Hey, he's 80. Pastor Bill: [10:32] It's not a thing until science discovers it. Yeah, and then suddenly they're like hey, it's a new thing And we're like probably not Probably was just really rare. Pastor Newms: [10:41] Yeah, or you just didn't notice it yet Um, yeah, you just hadn't noticed yet Yeah I was actually talking to someone today about dieting and how I need to get back into it and such and it's like but it's really hard at this point of being almost 40 because Like I I can't just have salads and like, you know salads with a little protein and you know, you're good to go Like I can't do it. And so it ends up being like the only valid Option is like a keto style option and that's expensive and It's a tight line to walk with a guarantee two to three week gout flare-up at the beginning Your body gets used to it and actually starts burning the chemicals, the purine protein, So then you stop, you know, like I when I did it like five years ago now, But it's so... Pastor Bill: [11:38] Purine protein, I thought it was an acid issue. Pastor Newms: [11:43] It's, no, it's technically, it's a protein that, so it's a protein that your body then turns into an acid that then you expel. But with... Pastor Bill: [11:56] You don't expel. Pastor Newms: [11:56] I don't expel. It crystallizes. Yeah. But talking about the purine protein half is much more socially acceptable than speaking about the uric acid half because people don't like to talk about bodily fluids. Right. They don't like to equate piss with blood even though that's where pee comes from, from your blood. Yeah. They don't like to... So I usually just stick with the protein side and, oh, and then the kidneys process it wrong for me and then leave it at that as opposed to because people are like why are you talking about that it's like because it's a health issue why are you not um but so it's you know it's one of those it's it's a funny thing is I'm trying to figure out how to get healthier because it's affecting my my side affecting my knees but I find it funny when people drink a bunch of water or you know drink a drink and they're like Man, it's going right through me and I'm like, I mean not technically it's not technically going right through you technically What's happening is your your body is is breaking down more blood into urea in? Pastor Bill: [13:13] Preparation for the intake of the liquids that you're in taking But that liquid you're in taking is not actually leaving the stuff that you drank before is leaving But it's from your blood anyway Anyway, it's not going right for you. Pastor Newms: [13:27] It's just, that's not how it works. weird aspect though because it. Pastor Bill: [13:35] It appears very quickly, like certain beverages and certain things affect very quickly because you're some of it your body's just like uh-uh and so like the first round around the body your body's like I'm it's out it went through your whole body but your body's like it's out like I ain't putting this in like there's some things that there's some things that we literally had to add I can't remember the chemical name for it now but it's basically antifreeze in the chemical makeup we had to add it to it so that our body would hold it and not just straight drop it like a lot of vitamins a lot of minerals you know those pills will have that additive additive chemical that is you know identical to antifreeze under a microscope but isn't actually the antifreeze that forces your body to hold on to it instead of just flushing it out the bottom. Pastor Newms: [14:38] Yeah, that's always interesting. The body is weird. The human body is really, really weird. Pastor Bill: [14:45] Like when you get dehydrated and your body's like, must flush all liquids now I'm dehydrated. Pastor Newms: [14:51] Oop, you're gone. Wait, wait, you're yep. You're gone I'm back. Yep. Pastor Bill: [15:00] You're back now Must flush all liquids is the last thing we have helpful to flush all the liquids when you're dehydrated body Yes, but how do I tell you that? I need more liquids. Yeah, I'm pretty sure by the point the body dumps So I'm I already know I already know. Pastor Newms: [15:16] Yeah, I Don't I don't need extra alarms, I know But do we Cuz I'll be sick and just ignoring the fact that I need to drink something until I stop sweating and then I'm like, oh I'm not sweating no more That's a problem. Pastor Bill: [15:34] You know those old cartoons where they're honest a desert island and one cartoon character looks at over at the other and They start looking like a big ham This water bottle here next to my bed That's on my desk when I when I'm getting low on water man And that thing starts to look like salvation. Like I'm like, it's like glowing gold halo, you know? And it's like, oh, when I look at my water jug, oh yeah, I need to drink some water. Pastor Newms: [16:01] No, I don't, I don't, I don't got that. So what food, what food would you, would you eat forever? Pastor Bill: [16:08] Salad, I would just, I would eat salad. I, the only reason I, I like to have at least a salad a day. The only times I don't is when we can't afford it Because salad is expensive but but yeah, I would have They go help in a salad for every meal I love salad man. You always have it's great I'll live oil on there some a little bit of salt a little bit of garlic and that's the other thing you Can bet you don't put a lot in your salad even it's not even like it's just it's gross, homie some lettuce and spinach some I don't know just add a little color in there and just yeah, I'm into it. Pastor Newms: [16:53] My stomach hurts thinking about it. Pastor Bill: [16:56] And when I eat, when I eat a salad everyday I feel amazing compared to when I don't. You know, just at least one salad a day and my body's just like yeah well yeah, it's cause it's a salad, it's what I would We covered this last week. This is what we're supposed to be eating is clean healthy Salads and greens not But yeah fatty bacon every morning if I could afford it or they were just gonna provide the food I would eat a salad at every meal. Struggle to say that I would give up meat if salad was an option at every meal I but I probably wouldn't have any qualms about that. Pastor Newms: [17:39] I probably could You come over to Jerry and I submit having a salad with it at every meal instead of Anything else but it's just so dang expensive and and yeah it is and the amount you have to Have is expensive also because the caloric intake is not high on it Which is why the additives like the girls love the chicken Caesar Salads, I think it is I guess the Caesar and you know, it comes with the little thing and it They're good for like, you know a day after you buy them if you're lucky because of Farm to table is not great on salads and you would think it would be with how expensive it is, but it's not Well, it's not necessarily farm to table The problem is it's it's all the hands in between right from farm to when it finally gets to right? That's what I'm saying. It's it's not we don't have just farm to table We have you know that did that did that did that did that did that did that did that did that to us in between? Pastor Bill: [18:52] Yeah Anywho, and it appears that says yeah says your mother eats it without salad dressing. I had forgotten that but that doesn't surprise me. That's why I put on the olive oil. That is my salad dressing just a little bit of olive oil and some salt and garlic. That's my that is my salad dressing like I couldn't I can't stand the thought of adding on all those empty calories with the salad dressing just for the sake of some just weak flavoring. Pastor Newms: [19:29] Some of those calories are very big calories. They're not empty. Some of them are very fatty. Pastor Bill: [19:36] They're big, but they're empty. Pastor Newms: [19:37] I'm joking. I know what you meant. It was just... That like buttermilk ranch is a very heavy additive of... I know that's what you meant by... buy it. All right. Pastor Bill: [20:07] The whole new USB setup over here at my desk because I bumped the desk the wrong way. Something disconnects and the daisy chain goes down. The daisy chain goes down like I'm using a laptop. That's only got two USB ports What's has to be the camera and the other one has to be a daisy chain that that works the? Keyboard the mouse the microphone Everything else is on this little port over here And if I bump the desk the wrong way the whole thing goes down And then we got to wait for it to come back up again And then we wonder why the expensive computer that we bought just burnt out sitting in your house for some unknown reason in your house electricity just expensive computer had lots of USB ports it did it did but your run a mouse and a keyboard and a microphone no I know I I don't mean because of your daisy chain I mean because of the electricity in your house and the you know the. Pastor Newms: [21:09] The leaking roof and when a computer fries to a point where everything in it fries at once that that's an issue it's so hard to actually happen because of all the transistors and little safety things that are in each of the parts to keep that from happening and the whole big block of power supply that's whole job is to I protect computer and you had a nice one and it just Because I was worried about that exact issue and I Don't know how it happened because it happened when it wasn't even storming So that was the that was like like had the house got hit by electricity I would have been like yeah, it happens, but it wasn't it was everything everything in this house goes down quickly Like we were you and I was you and I were talking the other day about the last time we had an electrician come out He was like, yeah. Pastor Bill: [22:11] Oh This fuse box was outlawed like 20 years ago You know, I'm technically not even supposed to work on this thing Well, what am I supposed to do? But yeah, like we burn through microwaves real fast. We go through ovens real fast. I mean, we had to find creative. Like right now we have one burner that works on our stove top and then we have two air fryers and a microwave and a griddle. And that's how we cook everything because the oven doesn't work. The other three burners don't work because they all got burned out by the electricity because the electricity is crazy in this house. Pastor Newms: [22:50] Anyway. Pastor Bill: [22:56] So that's how my week was. Oh yeah, we're past that. Big says, have to kill the dirt flavor. Bigs, if your salad tastes like dirt, either A, you're buying from a crappy company, or B, you need to clean your food before you eat it, bro. Just rinse that salad off. Rinse the lettuce or something. It shouldn't taste like dirt unless you're eating beets. Beets just taste like dirt. Or dragon fruit. and fruit seeds those taste like dirt too. If you're just having a regular old salad, it shouldn't taste like dirt I think that's more of just a Colloquialism not an actual Oh, you don't think he means it actually means it tastes like because I was being like beets actually tastes like dirt and so the dragon fruit seeds well potatoes, I mean Lettuce doesn't even grow in the ground. Pastor Newms: [23:49] So if you're eating the part that's in the ground you you've done something wrong already but um I think he I think he just means that whole like it's rabbit food. It tastes like dirt. Um Uh, listen god made dirt dirt don't hurt it does man, it does though The microbes that are in dirt can kill you And speed up the decompressing If you've never built up an immune system If you don't go outside and touch grass, yeah, it does. You're right Like there's this internet thing about you you've been inside too long go touch grass and like I Had I need to go touch some grass and kill you and I'm like, okay I was like I've been inside they're like you need to go outside and I'm like I can't Like the Sun if I'm out there for more than seven minutes I burn and And if I actually touch grass, I'm gonna have a rash so All these you know, these people are like, oh if you just go stand and center yourself in the grass and connect with Mother Nature I'll die. At least I'm not a leadership black pepper, Pastor Bill: [25:07] Thanks Yeah, glad it works for you, um Mother nature's trying to kill me At least All right, so we're in this series where we've been going through the beginning And we did you know, we started in Genesis and we touched on John chapter 1 and we came back to Genesis and Last week we reached the very end of Genesis chapter 1 And so tonight we're just gonna look back at Genesis 1 and do a summary. We're gonna do an overcap we're gonna just talk in general about Genesis 1, right? And so If you remember when we started the series we talked about kind of the history of how Genesis 1 became a part of the book of Genesis and Do you remember what we said, Pastor Newms? Pastor Newms: [26:12] Huh? This is your turn to talk. No, I mean, it... The story from Genesis 1 was kind of added in... Um... to the aspects during the time of captivity in Babylon from the Babylonian stories, because it was like, hey, those line up really well with what we've got written in Genesis 2 already, and they specify some things better than what Genesis 2 does because Genesis 2 is very generic in some of the things it says. So yeah, this has more detail. Let's use it. That makes sense. Pastor Bill: [26:53] You more or less painted the picture. You got a little sloppy around the lines there, but yeah, that's the general idea. Before they went into captivity, the creation story started with what We would call Genesis chapter 2 they didn't call it Genesis chapter 2 They just called it the creation of man they didn't have chapters then either so they just called it laughter the book That's scroll over there That's good. Well, it wasn't even scrolls really. That's true It kind of was by that point. So why were they in captivity in Babylon? What happened there? Pastor Newms: [27:34] One of the many times they screwed up. Alright. Pastor Bill: [27:40] So what happened is that throughout history the Judean people, which there technically weren't Judeans yet, we're talking about the ancestors of the Judean people who eventually settled in Judea and then became the Jews. They were a polytheistic people. They had multiple gods and they worshiped multiple gods and they believed in multiple gods and despite their oral passing down of religion and despite what they believed the Mosaic Law read and despite all of these things, they were still polytheistic and they continued to go back to worshiping other gods over and over and over even though we see over and over and over gods going, no, focus, you know, me, focus on me. So it got to this one point where... A female deity known as Ashra, who the ancient peoples believed was the wife of the god Yahweh. Now you should recognize the name Yahweh because that is actually the name of two historical entities. One is a Sumerian wind god that the Sumerians believed was the god of storms and wind and weather and that he blew through the deserts with his rage and his fury. And then Yahweh is also the name that God identifies with themselves when they're speaking to Moses on Mount Sinai. They call themselves Yahweh. And it's not so much that they call themselves Yahweh, but it's that God releases a series of sounds that then Moses writes down and when humans go to repeat those series of sounds it comes out as Yahweh. And more specifically it is I AM or I EXIST. And if you drill down into the, you know, more into what they're saying there it's I exist because I want to basically. There was nothing and then there was me. I am. And so we have this idea of Yahweh who people believed was married to a goddess named Asherah. And Asherah had become very popular amongst the people of Israel, the descendants of Israel. And Asherah poles, think of like a maple with the long strings, the ribbons, you know, that you've You've seen them in the Germanic and the Nordic cultures, the Maple, and they run around them with the ribbons, and they tie them off. It's still part of Norse mythology celebrations today even in the places where they believe in the Norse religions, the Maple thing. They don't always call it a Maple and they definitely don't call it an Ashrop Hall. But this is what the idea was. They had these Ashera poles and they were burning incense to Ashera and they were worshiping Ashera alongside of Yahweh and it had yet identified her as you know the wife of God So this was going on and God told them to cut it out multiple tops Multiple times you got to stop doing this you got to stop doing that people would tear them down Okay, people would rebuild them people would tear them down So God says, okay, that's enough. So, um, God hands them over to the King of Babylon, right? Puts them into slavery. And it's not one of those things where you're like, nah, God wouldn't do that. No, no. When you look back at history, God always chastises, corrects, puts back on the right path his own people. Period. If your theology tells you that God is just going to spoil you and give you good things, then you've only got half of your theology right. Because the other half of that is that God is a good Father that disciplines his children. God wants to give you the cattle on a thousand hills, but God will also send you away to go eat in the slop in the pig's troughs for a while before you decide to come home like the prodigal son. This is how God offered. Pastor Newms: [32:38] Okay. Pastor Bill: [32:40] So God sends them into captivity. Now there is a small group of people up in the mountains where the Babylonians, not a mountainous people can't get to they're like now that's not worth it right babelans you're like we're not doing it there's no slave worth climbing those mountains we're not doing that now these people their descendants go on to be the Samaritans right so we see that play out in the New Testament their descendants Americans the people that continue to worship Asherah up on the mountain. Now, eventually, they gave up Asherah and they have their own experiences with God that we don't have the recordings of, but we do have the woman at the well talking to Jesus who's like, but we follow this law and we follow this law and our forefather, Jacob, he told us this and this and we're expecting the Messiah. And they had their own whole history and experiences with God that rival that of the actual Israelites that we do have recorded in the Bible. So it's kind of interesting there. But while in Babylon, the people are exposed to this idea that monotheism is paramount. Now the god that the Babylonians wanted them to worship was their king, right? They wanted them to worship their king, the god their king, because all the other gods had quote unquote died so that this god could be king. But they didn't quite buy that. But they saw in the histories of the Babylonians who had adopted a lot of Sumerian myth and take a look at that and they go, this story makes a whole lot of sense with what we know. And not only that, but it's got greater detail, right? Because when you go and you look at Genesis chapter 2, it's kind of broad strokes, right? God created man and God created the animals and there's nothing about when that happens. There's, you know, it's not a lot of detail there. It's very broad. And so it's very broad. It's very broad and you can see their connection. A lot of people call it contradiction. There's contradictions between these two accounts and I'm like but is there though I mean are you just looking for contradictions or or what Okay. So they pick up this this new story that we know of as Genesis one and they uh adapt it and they adopt it and they they make They make some changes to the story right um But not a lot. Um Um, that's not even true they they make a lot of changes to the story to make it more palatable to the Jewish ear. Pastor Newms: [36:08] And to help align. Pastor Bill: [36:09] To help align with Genesis 2. Pastor Newms: [36:12] Yeah. Pastor Bill: [36:13] I have the story over there, but it's kind of convoluted and confusing for the Western ear, so I'm not going to pull that out. So let's read Genesis chapter 1, and then we'll go from there. That's Okay. In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. And we had fun with that one. We spent a whole episode on just Genesis 1. Now the earth was formless and empty. Darkness covered the surface of the watery depths, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the surface of the water. Then God said, Let there be light, and there was light. God saw that the light was good, and God separated the light from the darkness. God called the light day, and the darkness He called night. There was an evening, and there was a morning, one day. Then God said, Let there be an expanse between the waters, separating water from water. So God made the expanse and separated the water under the expanse from the water above the expanse. And it was so. God called the expanse sky. Evening came and then morning, the second day. Then God said, let the water under the sky be gathered into one place and let the dry land appear. Mention the video and start the video. I lost my place. Oh, and it was so. God called the dry land earth and the gathering of the water he called seas. And God saw that it was good. Then God said, Let the earth produce vegetation, seed-bearing plants and fruit trees on the earth bearing fruit with seed in it according to their kinds. And it was so. The earth produced vegetation, seed-bearing plants according to their kinds, and trees bearing fruit with seed in it according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good. Evening came and then morning, the third day. Then God said, Let there be lights in the expanse of the sky, separate the day from the night. They will serve as signs for seasons and for days and years. There will be lights in the expanse of the sky to provide light on the earth, and it was so. God made the two great lights, the greater light to rule over the day and the lesser light to rule over the night, as well as the stars. God placed them in the expanse of the sky to provide light on the earth, to rule the day and the night, and to separate light from darkness, and God saw that it was good. Morning came and then morning, the fourth day. Then God said, Let the waters swarm with living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth across the expanse of the sky. So God created the large sea creatures and every living creature that moves and swarms in the water, according to their kinds. He also created every winged creature according to its kind, and God saw that it was good. God blessed them, be fruitful, multiply, and fill the waters of the sea, and let the birds multiply on the earth. Evening came, and then morning, the fifth day. Then God said, let the earth produce living creatures according to their kinds, livestock, creatures that crawl, and the wildlife of the earth according to their kinds. And it was so. So God made the wildlife of the earth according to their kinds, the livestock according to their kinds, and all the creatures that crawl on the ground according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good. Then God said, Let us make man in our image according to our likeness. They will rule the fish of the sea, the birds of the sky, the livestock, the whole earth, and the creatures that crawl on the earth. So God created man in his own image. He created him in the image of God. He created the male and female. God blessed them and God said to them, Be fruitful. Multiply, fill the earth and subdue it, rule the fish of the sea, the birds of the sky, and every creature that crawls on the earth. God also said, Look, I have given you every seed-bearing plant on the surface of the entire earth and every tree whose fruit contains seed. This will be food for you. For all the wildlife of the earth, for every bird of the sky, and for every creature that crawls on the earth, everything having the breath of life in it, I have given. Every green plant for food, and it was so. God saw all that he had made, and it was very good indeed. Evening came, and then morning, the sixth day.", Okay. Anything jump out at you there that you wanted to talk about again? Highlights that you want to make sure that we walk away with? Pastor Newms: [41:39] Um... In seriousness, no. Um, in funny internet meme, my only thought was at what point did the birds get replaced by the robots? Um, but, um... Pastor Bill: [42:00] That was within the last century, bro. Pastor Newms: [42:02] I know, I'm just saying, like, you know, it was one of those, I was like, hee hee, Birds aren't real. So... You have to have a CIA because the CIA can replace the birds with robots. Right. Yeah. So it has to be after man. No, I mean we've talked about it. So there's nothing really that jumps out at me today differently than how it has over the last couple of weeks. Sometimes that does happen. Let's be honest. honest. But no, I mean, I think it's pretty, it's pretty cut and dry. I do always find it interesting and I don't necessarily like where chapters and verses are split. When we split our chapters and verses? Like, why do we not end? 2 3 as the end of one like that's where one should end Like we shouldn't start the next with and God rests on the seventh day well that but it he should rest at the end because the end is the You did that because you wanted Sunday to be the day of rest which is the first day of the week didn't yeah But you know, it's that whole aspect of like come on that that's part of the whole the same story and, so that that um, that part always irritates me, but that's not what we Talked about I always hate that that Genesis one ends with and the sixth day We got more to go This part of the story is not over So, agreed. That nope, you're gone. I'm back. Okay, cool. Pastor Bill: [44:02] You're back. Genesis one is not a Christian text. Genesis one is not a Jewish text. Genesis one is what? It's ancient Babylonian creation myth. Pastor Newms: [44:17] Right. Pastor Bill: [44:20] To me so is two through one through three if you're saying it from that standpoint but Well, yeah, cuz they went and added the numbers later, but anyway So when we read Genesis one, we're not reading the the point-blank account of God Of Yahweh of how creation happened. We're reading the Caption of the Babylonian creation myth and this one This is one of the reasons why we were using a plural for God Because the Babylonians they were polytheistic Right? And then became monotheistic when they started having the God Kings. And so you've got this weird thing. And the beauty of it all is it requires faith. I don't need faith, or I shouldn't need faith, when I crack open a history textbook. When I crack open a history textbook, I should just be reading fact. Pastor Newms: [45:34] Right? Pastor Bill: [45:36] Should. Pastor Newms: [45:37] Sure. Pastor Bill: [45:38] I'm not saying every history textbook is like that. I'm saying that's the expectation. Because when I open a history textbook or a science textbook, I should be reading fact. Pastor Newms: [45:48] Sure. Pastor Bill: [45:48] There's no faith that should need to be involved. Should need to be involved. This, the Bible, is not written under that assumption. This is not intended to be a historical document. This is intended to be taken by faith. Can't stress this hard enough. I don't know. Pastor Newms: [46:17] Well, the Bible plainly says we pull you apart what All scripture is god-breathed and for the use of teaching preach, you know You know all the you know, we've we've beat that verse To death and I don't want to butcher because I don't have it in front of me but it's it's the you know, there are certain and And to be historically accurate is not in that list. It's to teach, to have faith for religious purposes. It's a religious book. And so we build our faith on it. Is some of it historical? Pastor Bill: [46:53] Absolutely. Pastor Newms: [46:56] Is some of it poetry? Yes. Is some of it stories written down? Yes. Is some of it letters from one homeboy to another? Yes. Pastor Bill: [47:09] But man, I left my Coke. Pastor Newms: [47:10] Can you send that with so-and-so when they leave? But in that, there are aspects. But one of the biggest things about all of it is it requires faith. Because for any of it to be true, you have to believe it. Now me, as a natural born skeptic, I don't view the world as you do. And I don't trust anybody ever. And so I have to have faith in some people. Because my natural is this ain't true. But it's written down. Doesn't mean it's true. Doesn't mean it's true. But it's documented. It's got date and timestamps. Hacker can fix that. I don't... We're dealing with programmers, no historical accuracy can be proved sometimes. But that being said, the aspects of... It takes faith to believe this. It takes faith to walk it out. And the bigger aspect, as you're mentioning, is it's not just faith to believe, it's faith to actually walk it out. Because people are like, oh, well, this is just the creation story. There's not much, you know, in it. But no, there's a lot of in it because you've got things like, you know, dominion. You've got things like, there's a bunch of concepts that are deeper meanings than just, hey, here you go, that you look at with some of these heavy-weighted words that we miss when we just... And for those of you out there in audioland, is when you move your hand from the top to the bottom, so when you're just looking at it, just so we're clear on... Because I forget often that that doesn't translate in... It'd be fun to see what the transcription service makes of... Pastor Bill: [49:16] Let's see how many more times I can do it. I'm fed up with all the transcription services. It's crazy. Pastor Newms: [49:21] Is the new one not working again? Pastor Bill: [49:24] It worked that first time and then I couldn't get it to work again. It kept just not accepting any new input. and I was like this is crazy. Hmm. Pastor Newms: [49:39] Because it was nice. Pastor Bill: [49:40] It was so nice and I want it so bad. Um. She's I don't know, serving me crazy. I'm looking up a specific. Verse here. Do there's a verse in Revelations It talks about all the people that won't have a place in eternity. Pastor Newms: [50:16] And I'm assuming by place in eternity you mean place in heaven because everyone has a place It's just not everyone's place is as nice as everyone else's some of them their eternal place is death in hell so it's like Not it's a place eternal death, that's crazy Oh, here we go. Pastor Bill: [50:42] Okay So the whole point of all of this of everything from the very beginning is faith. Without faith it's impossible to please God. The whole point of life, the whole point of living, the whole point of creating humanity was faith. We're going to teach these, we're going to put these things out there. They're going to be a lesser shadow of us, God said. This whole point is to learn faith. We're intentionally ignorant. So that we can learn faith. So that we can step into eternity with God. I shudder to say equal footing, but it's almost like that. It's almost like if we're not at this certain level with God, then we can't step into eternity with Him. But what I was thinking about was Revelation chapter 21. And we're going to start at verse 8. And I want everyone to just stick with me. But the cowards, faithless, detestable murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars. Their share will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is second death. The takeaway from this verse that I've seen over and over and over is weaponization. People have used this as a weapon against other people over and over and over and over. But what it is, is a statement on identity politics. These are all identity statements. A coward is an identity. Faithless is an identity. Detestable identity. Murderers is an identity. The sexually immoral is an identity. Sorcerers is an identity. Idolaters is an identity. Liars is an identity. And everyone at some point in their life falls into one of these identities. They can be identified or identifies themselves as something in this list. But faith. And Christ came to set us free and to show us what faith really is and how faith really is. And when we find faith and we find that faith of salvation in Christ, this is not our identities anymore. Who once was a coward is now a faithful follower of Christ. Who once was a, faithless person a liar is now faithful. This whole point of this verse is identity. Because the whole point of life is faith. When you achieve that faith that Christ was talking about, that certain level of faith that Jesus said could only be achieved through Him, that becomes your new identity. Am I cis or homosexual or heterosexual or fat or ugly or a coward or faithless or a murderer? None of those things anymore because I'm first and foremost faithful. Does that mean I'm no longer cis or I'm no longer homosexual, no longer heterosexual? Well, according to the gospel that Jesus preached, that Paul then triumphed, all those secondary identities that we try to define ourselves by mean nothing once your identity is faithful. And that is my big takeaway as to why Genesis 1 is so important. It's here in these words that we see this fantastical outlay of when this happened and this happened and the world was a giant ball of cesspool that God hovered over and warred against the darkness. It takes a lot of faith to read that and go, I believe, even though this isn't a textbook, even though this isn't a historical document, even though this isn't any of those things that people try to make this that takes it out of the context that it exists in, That's where I see Genesis 1 laying. It's the foundation of faith. And that's my takeaway. Pastor Newms: [56:29] And you know, sometimes we disagree on things, as we do. And I'm going to disagree with you for a second, because you should have started in seven. And here's why I say that. Eight starts with a but, so while you were talking I of course went above because I hate starting with buts. And seven says the one who conquers will inherit these things. These things being what's talked about in six, well actually what's talked about in five of creating everything new. Pastor Bill: [57:07] We should have started in five? Pastor Newms: [57:09] Well, five starts with a then, so you'd have to go above. Anyway, we're not, should have started in Genesis one, oh wait. So, the one who conquers will inherit these things and I will be his God and he will be my son. And we often talk about how words are, eh? And this is one of the times I actually agree more with the KJV or the NASB's translation. Because Conqueror is, I understand the use of Conqueror, and I understand the use of what the KJV uses, which is overcome. Both of which are accurate because it's overcoming through Conquering. So they're both accurate translations, neither one of them is not. But the important part there is the ones that do meaning they you know I will in six it's I will freely give the thirsty from the spring of water of life the one who conquers will inherit these things so like what you're talking about of having faith and the identity of the people in eight. The people who have conquered. By conquering their identity issues and stepping over those aspects will become, and technically that he is person and the son is child. So they will be children of God. That is the identity that they should be, not the identity of all the other things that are listed in the next verse. And so it's when you really look at, when you start looking at identity and looking at what we call ourselves and how we act and how we, like you were saying, and then you take that one step further of the ones that conquer, the ones that grab ahold of being my children and that being who they are, they will not be the cowards, the faithless, detestable because it takes faith. And I find the coward to be fun because that can also be translated faithless. So it's the cowards because of lack of faith and the unbelieving people because they don't have faith. Both are both, both of the first two are really people who don't have faith. It's two different aspects of not having faith. Being afraid because you don't have faith and not agreeing because you don't have faith. And so it's that interestingness of looking at those two words, that list of identities, and then translating that back to what's the important identity that we should be grasping. And we've talked about this before, of our identity should be follower of Christ, Son of God, not Son of God being Son of God, but Son of God as children of God, let's be clear there. You call yourself the Son of God, you need to check yourself. Anyway, so I just found that to be interesting, some interesting aspect as you were reading 8 and explaining, you know, the identity aspects of those. That Seven then is and of course as you mentioned and the important is six and then above that is the important is five and then we have to go to four and Then we end up in Genesis one. Pastor Bill: [1:00:51] Yeah, I found the wording of seven interesting just overall is It should be in my opinion the victorious Will Become heirs of of everything. And then it says, I shall personally be their God and the same. Will be my and in context that shouldn't be the word son it should be in our modern language descendants it's a figurative kinship like a child a foul a son um it's not not meaning direct child direct son direct it means right a descendant you know like a grandfather would look at his grandson well he's still saying the word son you know he would that's my son that's my you know You know, it's my grandson. It's that kind of a word. But yeah, it's interesting the choices they make when they translate certain things that really goes a lot into the politics of the day and the way they saw things. Pastor Newms: [1:02:04] I find it funny that the CSB translates one of the ones he. One of the he's one and one of the he's he, as opposed to just saying person both times or one both times. Whereas the KJV does he both and the NASB does he once and one once. So I find that kind of stuff to be interesting when you look at the people that are doing the translation. The words are slightly different because it's overcome error. Pastor Bill: [1:02:36] One of the interesting things about the TSP is they have that the whole panel of inter-denominational people that all have to sign had to sign off on each verse. Pastor Newms: [1:02:51] Yeah. Pastor Bill: [1:02:52] The translation of each verse. So even in that, there are certain ways that it phrases things that it's like, oh yeah, I know exactly which denomination refused to sign off until you put that word there. Pastor Newms: [1:03:07] Well, and you know, it's one of the things that are so interesting about the translation of the Bible when as we talk about stuff, one who, the one who overcomes, the one who conquers, he that overcometh in the three versions that I keep up all the time. All of that is just the one word for the, for. To subdue literally conqueror overcomer prevail Someone who gets the victory so it's it's that aspect of it's it's one word that we've got to translate between four and Three and four words to get it to understand for an English reader to just go Okay because Conqueror doesn't necessarily mean the one who, but on the same token, it does. So it's that it's that sometimes if we were to just do a word for word translation, like some people have done in the past, it's hard to read because the word for word doesn't flow because English has a flow to it because of how many other languages we bastardized to get to where we are. But that's one of those things that's interesting when you have a half sentence, technically a full sentence. He that overcomeeth is a full sentence, kind of. Pastor Bill: [1:04:39] That is a full sentence, it really is. Pastor Newms: [1:04:43] It's one word. It is, it's one word in the original. Interesting. That is. Pastor Bill: [1:04:54] But okay so we are not going to do the topic according to AI this week but if you are interested in seeing what the AI's what the AI had to say about the summary of the seven different concordances that I read I will put it in the transcription on this podcast so you can go find that it'll be there and you're gone again. Paragraphs long, six paragraphs. If you want to go find that in the transcription I'll make sure it's there. Even if I can't get a good transcription to add on I'll go ahead and put this in there and mark. Pastor Newms: [1:05:40] Okay, so, um, Pastor Bill is at this point just gone. He's talking, but it is not working. Pastor Bill: [1:05:47] This is those little green things lit up the whole time. I never lost my little green box. Pastor Newms: [1:05:52] It didn't send it to us though. Weird. So the the aspects, Pastor Bill is going to put the thing that Pastor Newms hates, which is the AI interpretation into the transcript, whether or not you always hate my noobs. I do hate it. I just don't Anyway, um have fun describing growl also, um the And then pastor bill was saying Now he's back so he can just say what he was saying about next time and joining us and all that Festo is the podcast that comes out once a week on On Wednesdays at 7 p.m. Pastor Bill: [1:06:34] Central Standard Time hopefully I can stop saying standard at some point if they'll ever actually standardize the time in the US and um Passion is shaking said no it won't happen and we record it live on Sunday nights at 630 p.m Central Standard Time if you'd like to join us for that live recording you can go to our website e ekk house and find out which twitch which YouTube and which Facebook we are live on and then you can watch as we broadcast live and Participate in the chat you can type out your messages questions concerns Contradictions, whatever and we can respond to them right then and there live on the podcast and in that way you can actually be a part of the conversation If this podcast has helped you or you found it informative you think someone else might like it then feel free to send it over to them. We like new listeners and we don't like just being a echo chamber over here. Echo chambers are bad. Echo chambers are bad, you know. And so we appreciate new people coming in and new looks on life and we do our best not to sound condescending even though both of us have kind of that personality where We're pretty much everything we say usually comes across as sounding condescending, but we truly don't mean it that way. We truly do love sharing what we do know and we are open to people seeing things a different way. Like in this conversation, we disagreed on something and that's fine. It wasn't that big of a thing that we disagreed on, but we have disagreed on big things in the past between the two of us and we've both sounded like pompous jerks discussing it. In the end, there's only one thing we all have to agree on. I didn't know you said it like a In the end there's only the one thing that we have to agree on agree on and that's the salvation issue. The one the faith in Christ alone for salvation. That's the one thing everything else you're allowed to see anything from scripture the way you want to and we may come back at you and say, hey, well, you know, historically this or this other verse says this, and we're not trying to demean you, we're just trying to, what's the word, we add more things to someone's purview so they can see all the information. Expand, we're just trying to expand the information that you have if we have more information. So yeah, so come and join us and all of that to say we're not jerks, we're just slightly autistic. Alright, so we love you guys. Have a great week. Pastor Newms: [1:09:25] I love the be safe out there while you pretend to be just slightly. Pastor Bill: [1:09:30] And until next time. My collar has been has been bugging. I'm really aware of my collar all night. Which is bugging the heck out of me. Pastor Newms: [1:09:38] I'm nothing to do like what we've already talked about. My collar is seriously bugging all night long. And you gave me no pause so this will end up happen to be in the outgoing. Pastor Bill: [1:09:47] Yeah, well, I know. That's exactly what I intended.

En tiempos anteriores a la violenta imposición del monoteísmo patriarcal, el pueblo judío vivía una concepción religiosa con una pareja divina: Diosa Madre y Dios Padre. La Diosa Madre era Ashera, el Dios Padre Yahweh. Y a pesar de que a lo largo de la biblia califican de idolatría el culto a Ashera, no tienen mucho éxito, pues se cuenta sobre este culto desde el Éxodo hasta los libros de los profetas anteriores al exilio babilónico. Al parecer recién tienen éxito de eliminarlo durante la reforma deuteronomista que es la que impuso el monoteísmo. En este episodio vemos algunas de las referencias a Ashera en la biblia, pero también hablamos de la evidencia arqueológica que nos demuestra que la diosa Asherah era la pareja de Yahweh.

Bête à cornes ou ange déchu, le diable prend de multiples formes pour tenter les plus innocents d'entre nous. Mais qui est vraiment celui que l'on tient pour responsable de tous les vices ? Contrairement à l'idée que l'on peut s'en faire, le diable est loin d'être une création purement judéo-chrétienne, comme si les Juifs puis les Chrétiens avaient tout inventé. Ce serait bien trop réducteur de limiter son origine à la bible et à la Genèse. Et justement, on ne trouve dans les textes de l'Ancien Testament, aucune mention de « démon » à proprement parler. Ce nom, emprunté au grec « daïmôn », « le conseiller intime », est sans rapport avec la culture judaïque. Bien sûr, le diable est irrémédiablement lié à la bible, c'est impossible de dire le contraire, mais son histoire est bien plus complexe. Et il n'en fallait pas moins pour un tel personnage, ou devrais-je dire de tels personnages au pluriel ! Le diable est une créature bien singulière, il est loin d'être le seul à incarner le Mal. Pour comprendre ça, il faut et remonter près de 4000 ans avant notre ère, dans la mythologie orientale…

In this episode, Jessica Smith takes us on a journey through the Bible and other ancient works to highlight how Christ interacted with and followed in the footsteps of his mothers, both earthly and heavenly. She explores the possible connection of Ashera legends to acts Christ imitated during his life. Whether as a polemic to show that he is greater than all previously worshipped gods, or perhaps as a nod to these earlier myths out of respect to his actual Mother in Heaven, Jessica illustrates that there is much to learn from the study of the anciently worshipped goddess Ashera. Jessica extrapolates on the beautiful symbols of motherhood throughout scripture in connection to Christ. She points out literal “Easter” eggs Christ dropped throughout his time on earth that seem to point to the women who influenced Him most. Jessica is on Instagram as @milkmaidshoney.

Pictures Today's shiur is dedicated by Natalie Taylor for the refuah shleima of two women whom I love very much: Bracha bat Rachel and Devora Shulamit bat Yocheved Chana. May both these amazing women have successful operations this week and an easy recovery. What items should/should not be brought into the Sukkah? If it starts to rain, at what point can you leave and at what point do you need to come back to the Sukkah once the rain stops? If it rains on Sukkot, it is seen as a bad sign. The gemara explains the parable mentioned in the mishna. The gemara mentioned other natural phenomena that are seen as a bad sign from God, such as, solar and lunar eclipse. Several sources are brought which suggest the meaning behind those events. A stolen lulav or a dry one is disqualified. Also, one from an Ashera tree and a city whose inhabitants all worships idols (ir hanidachat) are disqualified. What are other potential issues regarding a lulav? The gemara assumes that the mishna is referring to all the days of the holiday. If a stolen sukkah is disqualified because the lulav has to be your own, that would only be relevant for the first day! Rabbi Yochanan explains that it is disqualified as one cannot fulfill a mitzva through means of a transgression.

All of the factions of Nazierto are banding together to fight the demon lord. Along the way, Ashera gains some very interesting information about the demon that nearly killed the vampire queen.

MAMBO MUHIMU YANAYOUNDA MADHABAHU Ili uweze kushughulikia tatizo sugu lililoshikiliwa kwenye madhabahu ni lazima ufahamu vizuri kuwa madhabahu sio jina pekee bali ni muunganiko wa mambo sita (6) ambayo hayo yanafanya madhabahu kuwepo na kuwa na nguvu, mambo hayo ni kama yafuatayo:- Madhabahu yenyewe Kuhani wa madhabahu Kafara ya madhabahu Washirika wa madhabahu Mungu wa madhabahu Nguvu ya madhabahu Madhabahu yenyewe Madhabahu hujengwa na watu kwa kusudi la kufanya ibada kwa Mungu wanaye mwamini. Kwa kawaida kila mwanadamuanaamini kuwepo kwa nguvu ambayo ni kubwa kuliko nguvu ya kibinadamu (existence of super natural power). Ili kuwasiliana na nguvu hii mwanadamu inambidi kutengeneza utaratibu wa kuifikia nguvu hiyo (kujenga madhabahu). Iwe ni kwa upande wa nuru au giza madhabahu lazima ijengwe kwa jinsi ya mwili kabisa. Eliya alijenga madhabahu ya Bwana (1Wafalme 18: 32 “Naye akaijenga madhabahu kwa mawe hayo katika jina la Bwana; akafanya mfereji, kama wa vipimo viwili vya mbegu, ukiizunguka madhabahu”) Vilevile makuhani wa shetani nao hujenga madhabahu 1Wafalme 16:33 “Ahabu akaifanya Ashera; Ahabu akazidi kumghadhibisha Bwana, Mungu wa Israeli, kuliko wafalme wote wa Israeli waliomtangulia.” Ninachotaka ufahamu hapa ni kwamba madhabahu hujengwa kwa jinsi ya mwilini iwe ya Jehova au ya miungu. Kuhani wa madhabahu Kuhani wa madhabahu ni mtu anayejua taratibu za madhabahu na mwenye uwezo(nafasi au cheo kilichokubalika) wa kuleta vitu vya kiroho (Baraka au laana) kutoka ulimwengu wa roho kuingiza katika ulimwengu wa mwili na kutoa vitu (sadaka/kafara/manuizio) kutoka katika ulimwengu wa mwili kwenda katika ulimwengu wa roho a. Makuhani wa Jehova Katika uliwengu wa nuru kuhani ni mtu yoyote aliyempokea Yesu na kuzishika amri zake (Ufunuo 5:10“ukawafanya kuwa ufalme na makuhani kwa Mungu wetu; nao wanamiliki juu ya nchi.” Vilevile kuhani anaweza kuwa mtu yoyote aliyejifunza taratibu za kiibada yak i-Mungu kama mchungaji, shemasi, mwinjilisti, askofu, paroko n.k. mfano katika Biblia tunamuona Melkizedeki alikuwa kuhani wa Jehova. Mwanzo 14:18 “Na Melkizedeki mfalme wa Salemu akaleta mkate na divai, naye alikuwa kuhani wa Mungu Aliye juu sana.” b. Kuhani wa madhabahu za kishetani Katika ulimwengu wa giza kuhani ni mtu yoyote ambaye anamtumikia shetani kwa kujua au bila kujua kwa lengo la kuleta uharibifu, nasema kwa kujua au bila kujua kwani kuna watu wanaitumikia mizimu ya nyumbani kwao wakidhani wanafanya kawaida kama walivyofanya baba na babu zao (mfano kuchinja kila mwaka, kuomba kwenye makaburi), lakini bila wao kujua kuwa wameshakabidhiwa ukuhani wa madhabahu za kishetani. Watu hawa huja kushtuka pale mambo yanapowaendea vibaya kwa kukiuka kanuni za kimadhabahu bila wao kujua. Mfano wa makuhani wa madhabahu za kishetani katika biblia ni makuhani wa dagoni na baali. 1 Samweli 5:5 “Kwa hiyo makuhani wa Dagoni, na mtu awaye yote aingiaye nyumbani mwa Dagoni, hawakanyagi kizingiti cha nyumba ya Dagoni huko Ashdodi, hata leo.” 1Wafalme 18:25-26 “25 Eliya akawaambia manabii wa Baali, Jichagulieni ng'ombe mmoja, mkamtengeze kwanza; maana ninyi ndio wengi; mkaliitie jina la mungu wenu, wala msitie moto chini. 26 Wakamtwaa yule ng'ombe waliyepewa, wakamtengeza, wakaliitia jina la Baali tangu asubuhi hata adhuhuri, wakisema, Ee Baali, utusikie. Lakini hapakuwa na sauti, wala aliyejibu. Nao wakaruka-ruka juu ya madhabahu waliyoifanya.” Kafara/sadaka ya madhabahu Madhabahu haiwezi kukamilika kama hakuna kafara kwasababu kila mungu/Mungu wa madhabahu huhitaji kafara. Haijalishi uko upande gani lazima unapoenda madhabahuni uende na kafara/sadaka. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/siri-za-biblia/message

YHWH is our ONLY God Intro We are the people of the one true God. But what does that involve? What does that require of us? In today’s society, one god can be as good as another. In Biblical times, they were a plurality of gods for every single need. Some were for crops as Baal and his wife Ashera, others were for traveling in the sea as Poseidon, and others were there to control the forces of nature, as your favourite Nordic god, Thor. But in Israel, YHWH was the God in control of all creation. In Job 42:2 we read “I know that you can do all things, and that no purpose of yours can be thwarted.” It is the God of Israel that controls all. This is the same God the Church has. We share in the same promises and blessings that Israel received, cf. Ephe. 2:11-22. But we also share Israel’s responsibilities, and I would like to point out 3 of them as found them in what is known as the Ten Commandments. Exposition Exodus 20:1-11 deal with how humans are to relate to the God of Israel. We will see only verses 1-6. Notice, that they are not called “commandments” rather than “words”. God is just not telling us what to do, but it is a relation that is being spelled out. 20:1-3. Usually vs. 2 is taken as part of the first commandment. Why is it that we should not have no other gods? Because YHWH has delivered us from the gods of Egypt. It would be quite ridiculous that after witnessing the defeat of those gods, Israel should worship them, but that is what they are warned about in our next word. The Isralites were prone to follow other gods. After Moses and Joshua died, they turn to other gods, cf. Judges 2. Worship of Ashera was ripe, 2 Kings 21:7. King Josiah finally did away with such worship, 2 Kings 23:14. Before this Reform, there were worshipping other idols in God’s own temple, cf. Ezekiel 8. Sometimes, even objects that YHWH had given the people of Israel as a sign of his deliverance had become idols, as in the case of the bronze serpent, Num. 21:4-9, it had to be destroyed, 2 Kings 18:1-4. We could go on numbering the times that the Isralites were unfaithful to YHWH but let us come to our situation. As the Isralites, we were saved from slavery from Egypt through our baptism, Romans 6:1-7; I Cor. 10:1-20. We will talk about demons and other beings in the next sermon, but let us notice that we are called into considering how Israel carried out, and fail, in their calling to worship only YHWH. Which are our idols? Food, cars, work, children, internet, youtube, kpop, books, a church leader, church itself? We found out about how Ravi Zacharia kept a hidden life, and many have defended his abuse for being a man of God!! Jesus is the only sanctioned idol (icon in greek) that we may have, cf. Col. 1:15. Let’s not fall into the errors that Israel fell into. We are told that what happened to them is an example for us today so we may not fall. And if we have fallen and have idols in our hearts and mind, let us turn to Jesus, and ask for forgiveness, and trust in him, that we will receive it, 1 John. 2:1-2. Let me finish by reading the last words of this same epistle. 1 John. 5:21 Dear children, keep yourselves from idols. You can follow me on my blog: luisjovel.net

The Reaper is in danger of being a spider's snack. Ashera tries to help by... talking. And Ben hides.

This impromptu 2nd chapter of Hyena-Man starts with the previous Ep.106 released a couple weeks back. This Episode is *ONLY* available on the *Srange Brau Radio Youtube channel.* As mentioned in that full episode, Ashera's encounter with a cryptid prompted me to put a snout to the name. So, I called the amazing Alex Witcombe to once again help bring a creature to life. IT'S ALIVE!!! In large part the video overshadows the listeners podcast, and well sometimes that can't be helped. There is no way to describe what Alex pulls off, you have to watch his pencil wield graphite like a tru pro.

Pictures The gemara continues its discussion regarding objects that can make the wall more accessible - objects jutting out of the wall - do they need ladders - situated where? If the height of the wall is 19 or more than 20, how many items jutting out of the wall need to be there and at what height and position? If there is a beam in the public domain that is 10 high and 4x4 wide and is considered a private domain for purposes of carrying between it and the public domain, if there is a peg on top of it, does that limits its use and therefore its size and would it become an exempt space? There are different opinions about this. When one puts in a ladder - at what angle and at what height would it diminish the space (what would then be the necessary length of the ladder)? Rav Yosef asks Rabba a number of questions of cases where the ladder does not have a minimum of 4 but something else can help it to be as if it has four - would these work? He raises a number of different situations. If a ladder was made out of a tree (which is forbidden by rabbinic law to use of Shabbat) or an Ashera tree (which was used for idol worship and is forbidden to benefit from), is it considered that the courtyards are accessible to each other theoretically, even if not practically. Various opinions are brought. Does it connect to other similar debates regarding eruv techumim in a tree or in a grave, that is also forbidden to benefit from? If there is a ditch 10 high and 4x4 wide, that separates two courtyards, one cannot make an eruv together. What if it was filled with straw or dirt? Is there a difference between the two? Why? If there is a beam that connects the two sides, then one can make an eruv together or separately.

     The Central Idea of the Text is that Israel—as a nation—failed to obey God and drive out the inhabitants of the land.      Caleb initially obeyed the Lord and drove out the sons of Anak, who had previously intimidated the sons of Israel (Num. 13:30-33).  He did by faith what all Israel should have done.  Israel—for the most part—operated from fear rather than faith, and this led to policies of appeasement with those who should have been driven out.  Their decisions of toleration sowed the seeds of their future destruction because they allowed themselves to be exposed to the religious and ethical values of people who were opposed to the Lord.       The Canaanite culture was marked by a pantheon of deities—El, Baal (son of El), Dagon, Anath, Astarte, and Ashera—to whom the Canaanites offered human sacrifice and engaged in sexual fertility rights with temple prostitutes.  Israel became influenced and corrupted by the depraved Canaanite culture for centuries to come (see Deut. 18:10; 2 Kings 17:16-17; 21:1-7).       God’s policy was that Israel was to destroy all the inhabitants of the land of Canaan (Deut. 7:1-5), offering negotiations of peace only with cities outside the land (Deut. 20:10-18).  God was in no way cruel by demanding the destruction of the Canaanites.  In fact, the Lord had been very patient with their extreme wickedness (Gen. 15:16; 2 Pet. 3:9), and the time had come for justice to prevail.  Israel failed to execute God’s will, and let the inhabitants of the land remain.  God rebukes them for their disobedience (Judg. 2:1-5).  “This series of tribal defeats was the first indication that Israel was no longer walking by faith and trusting God to give them victory”[1]      God’s policy for the Christian today is to be a light in the world (Acts 13:47; Eph. 5:6-10) and to love our enemies (Matt. 5:43-45; Rom. 12:20; 1 Pet. 3:9).  The Christian today is defeated to the degree that he is friendly toward the world and allows himself to be influenced by the surrounding pagan culture.  The fact is, “bad associations corrupt good morals” (1 Cor. 15:33).  The Christian is to be in the world, but not of the world.  We are to love those who are lost, but never be accepting of worldly values (1 John 2:15-17).  Faith sees things in their proper place, from the divine perspective, from the light of eternity (2 Cor. 4:17; Rom. 8:18; 1 Pet. 1:3-7; 4:13).  Fear often magnifies situations and makes them appear larger than they really are.  May we all grow and learn to please God with a life of faith (Prov. 3:5-6; Heb. 11:16).   [1] Warren W. Wiersbe, Be Available, “Be” Commentary Series (Wheaton, IL: Victor Books, 1994), 13.

Thousands of years ago, women were highly celebrated and they had a higher authority who understood their needs. Her name was Ashera and women had a direct connection with her. Over time, men felt the need to dominate and attempted to destroy the support that women had. They were mostly successful at that and God's wife disappeared for a long time. The underlying need for her never ended and she's continued to reappear in different forms. The fight to repress her never ended either and most societies still restrict feminine power and sacredness. So many of us know that women carry the wisdom that can change our future and create more peaceful times. The Sacred Feminine is returning in strength but we must remember its history to help empower its rise. Lynn Picknett & Clive Prince are well studied historians and have written this wonderful book, "When God Had a Wife". They have so much to say. There was a time, thousands of years ago, when the sacred feminine was powerful and vibrant. Women had a goddess to worship who understood them and their special needs. This inspired them to believe in their right place in society and to help manage progress. It didn't last and men chose to destroy signs of this sacredness and dominate society to the detriment of everyone. Even though women are finding their way back, there are still strong echoes of this patriarchal repression and society is resisting giving women their full power back. Lynn Picknett & Clive Prince's book, "When God Had a Wife", is important in its treatise of this long history of feminine strife and the efforts through time to maintain the sacred feminine. This is an important interview with the authors to hear their insights and become more knowledgeable about the unfolding of new feminine power that's so needed for our future.

Known as the Father of all Heresy and Gnosticism, Simon Magus was also the keeper of the ancient mysteries of a forgotten goddess. The early church despised the magician’s efforts to restore the divine feminine censored by haughty kings and the cult of Yahweh. We mine the history, theology, and legacy of Simon Magus and his consort, Helen, – all to unlock the transformative wisdom of primordial deities like Ashera, Anat, Sophia, and Ishtar.

Gérer les mauvaises décisions. Esdras et Néhémie étaient devenus des chefs dans des communautés où les mariages mixtes avec des non-Israélites étaient à présent la norme. Cela les préoccupait beaucoup, car ils voulaient conduire la nation dans une relation étroite avec Dieu. Ils étaient conscients de l’influence négative que des non-croyants ou des idolâtres pouvaient avoir sur le peuple d’Israël, car ils en avaient vu les terribles conséquences dans l’histoire. Les religions cananéennes se répandirent dans tout Israël jusqu’à ce qu’on finisse par adorer Baal et Ashera sur toute colline élevée.

https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=I+Kings+18%3A19-39&version=NIV (1 Kings 18:19-39) Our message this week takes a trip to Mount Carmel in Israel and a contest of gods between Baal of the Caanites and Yahweh, the God of the Israelites and the prophet Elijah. It is the type of story that leaves us asking, What do we really believe? Where do we derive our security, our purpose, our motivation in life? Where is the pure object of our affection focused? I might also ask, Do you have any idols? A doctor of theology was teaching world religion at a university and made a mission trip to India. While there, he met and befriended a local fellow who was a Buddhist. This man was very friendly and took the doctor around to see the sites and help him become acquainted. One day he took the doctor to the Buddhist temple. When the doctor walked in, he was amazed at all the strange, peculiar statues lining the walls of the temple, each one representing a different god. Then he felt a little poke in his side, and his newfound friend gestured toward one of the statues saying, “See that one? You recognize it, don't you? That's your God!” The doctor of theology looked up to see a statue of Jesus on the cross – as if Jesus were just one god among all the other gods. In that man's mind, though well intended, he believed you could be Buddhist and Christian. You can worship whatever god you want or as many as you want. We have often heard the phrase It doesn't matter what you believe as long as you are sincere. We live in a culture of time that says all truth is relative to the individual's perception and conviction. However, I don't believe this. Instead, I believe the God of the world, the God of life, has, in a beautiful way, revealed His heart and love to us in His Son, Jesus Christ. He went to the cross to bring us back into a relationship with Himself, even though we were sinners, and, by His resurrection, gives us eternal life. He invites us to repent, turn our hearts back to Him, and confess our faith in Him as our God. At Mount Carmel, Elijah prayed this prayer: “Lord, by your power show that you are God and we are your servants. Turn the hearts of your people back to you.” In our story, the Bible describes King Ahab and Queen Jezebel as the new champions of evil in their time. They not only promoted the worship of the idols Bael and Ashera, but they hunted down and killed God's prophets in an effort to eradicate faith in Yahweh. They especially hated the prophet Elijah and searched every inch of their kingdom for him. They even threatened neighboring kings who might hide him. They treated Elijah like the number one criminal of the world and wanted him dead. After three years of drought with God telling Elijah to hide from Ahab, now He tells Elijah to go show himself to Ahab. In the context of threat and danger, Elijah boldly walks into the palace and issues a challenge to Ahab and the priests of Bael to have a contest on Mount Carmel. May the best god – the real God, the God of power and glory – win. So the priests of Bael go first and offer their ox as a sacrifice. From morning till noon, they prayed. Louder and louder they prayed as they danced around the altar of sacrifice. Bael, hear us, they say. Elijah begins to mock them. Is god meditating? Is he too busy, indisposed, on vacation? Perhaps he is sleeping. Cry out louder! They danced louder; they cut themselves with knives until they bled; and they hollered louder and louder. Nothing except silence was the response. This continued all day until Elijah stepped forward and poured barrels and barrels of water over the sacrifice. Instantaneously a firebolt from heaven consumed the ox, the wood, and the twelve stones representing the twelve tribes of Israel. Even the water was licked up dry. Everyone fell on their faces in that revelation of God's power and glory and shouted, “Yahweh is God! Yahweh surely is God!” Yahweh revealed Himself

Elijah went before the people and said, “How long will you waver between two opinions? If the Lord is God, follow him; but if Baal is God, follow him.” But the people said nothing. (1 Kings 18:21) In the bible we so often we read stories about the dangers of idol worship, but in our current culture you may find it difficult to see people bowing down to Baals, and if you live in the Bible Belt, it’s more likely you’ll see a church than an Ashera pole on every corner. But, does that mean that modern-day American Christians don’t have idols? Listen to Pastor Kevin as he helps us find the true definition of idol worship, and how we ought to respond when faced with the choice of deciding who deserves our worship.

We all get beaten down in life. Whether it’s catastrophes like hurricanes, shootings, or economic meltdowns, or just dealing with the day to day demands and responsibilities of life, we all go through periods of dryness, feeling like we aren’t making a difference. This is where Elijah’s example is particularly pertinent. Having reached the peak Read more about 112 God’s Not Done with You Yet (Sean Finnegan)[…]

The Hermetic Hour for Thursday, March 24th, 2011, with host Poke Runyon, will feature a discussion of our Spring Equinox "Sacred Marriage" ceremony, with readings for the pageant. This modern version of a 3500 year old pagan rite features a May Pole dance (March Pole actually), and a Communion of the Elements ceremony in which the seven sacraments are shared with the celebrants by the priest and priestess while the newly married God (Baal) and his bride (Astarte) look on from their bridal pavillion . This last Saturday, under a "Super" full moon, we performed the 36th consecutive presentation of "Nuptiae" at Montsalvat in Pasadena, with a newly initiated young couple taking the role of Baal and Astarte, bound together by the ribbons of the Ashera--or may Pole. So, tune in, and we'll try to recreate the experience for you.

This impromptu 2nd chapter of Hyena-Man starts with the previous Ep.106 released a couple weeks back. This Episode is *ONLY* available on the *Srange Brau Radio Youtube channel.* As mentioned in that full episode, Ashera's encounter with a cryptid prompted me to put a snout to the name. So, I called the amazing Alex Witcombe to once again help bring a creature to life. IT'S ALIVE!!! In large part the video overshadows the listeners podcast, and well sometimes that can't be helped. There is no way to describe what Alex pulls off, you have to watch his pencil wield graphite like a tru pro.
