Today's "activism" is essentially a process of expressing collective community grievances and disgust, feeling there's either no control over situations or even how to react. Or hope that someone else will do it. Well, there's no someone else. Nor is there a blueprint for creating change. It's simple: "get out" and make sure every voter is informed on our issues and registered to vote. If there's a message that we believe, it is "Don't worry about rocking the boat because you are not in the boat, so rock it as hard and as often as you can."

Pastor Newms: [0:20] What. [0:27] The last time I shaved yes. So let's be clear I am not bald I am bald ding my hair is all up there I have to shave it I won't say all. Pastor Bill: [0:43] So what happened is newms is a very intense person and at some point is hair went we are done holding on to this hair and just started dropping it. Pastor Newms: [0:55] No it decided to just hang out just it just came off I have more hair on my chin. Pastor Bill: [1:01] Hudson holding. Pastor Newms: [1:13] No when would almost why would almost be for Pony sir. Pastor Bill: [1:19] I don't know all right so how was your week. Pastor Newms: [1:23] Not till we figure out what you're talking about with ponies. Pastor Bill: [1:37] Your weakest ponies. Pastor Newms: [1:38] Now my week was good I marked a lot off of my board this week which is always good you guys can't see my board except for yeah little tiny corner right, and sometimes if I move the camera just so you can see the little man that's drawn right here but you can't see him tonight so sorry I did take down some. Pastor Bill: [1:57] No man for you. Pastor Newms: [1:58] Some artwork my kids artwork that was here forever and put up a little Sunday Monday I can't ever I don't understand Direction Sunday Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday board. Pastor Bill: [2:10] I know you don't you're the Navigator want to play games. Pastor Newms: [2:14] So I can wipe my meeting times so that way the family when they comes into my office they're like oh meeting, and so my wife knows when my meetings are and so yeah my week was pretty good though work was good. Rain who occasionally joins us my daughter graduates 6th grade tomorrow so if you go to her graduation so that's going to be interesting but. Just busy how was your. Pastor Bill: [3:02] My week was all right I got a new keyboard. Pastor Newms: [3:05] Actually there's no more ch-ch-ch. Pastor Bill: [3:08] There's no words to because I got red switches instead of blue or brown and so there's not a click halfway down it's just a spring-loaded switch with no, um response halfway on the push there is a slight when you let go of the key where the spring is going back into place you can hear the spring going back into place, um probably most people wouldn't be able to hear it but I can hear it every time I let go of a key I can hear the spring going back into place, which is fine it's not that big of a deal yeah so I got my new keyboard and it actually comes apart into two pieces. Pastor Newms: [3:53] Its ergonomic. Pastor Bill: [3:55] Its ergonomic but then it also comes apart. Pastor Newms: [3:58] Ergonomically. Pastor Bill: [3:59] Ergonomically so that for you know if you've got a big belly and you need more ergonomically space you then you can have more ergonomical space. Pastor Newms: [4:09] Actually it has nothing to do with your belly and everything to do with where your shoulders actually, because people who have different shoulder sets you know your hands are naturally more, when you're typing then people who are slender shoulders so it's actually the broad identity of your shoulders not necessarily your belly. Pastor Bill: [4:34] But using a traditional keyboard I was having to tuck my arms into my belly, to reach the keys to type and now with the ergonomic keyboard I slightly have to pull in my belly unless I separate the keyboard pieces and then I can just rest my arms naturally. Pastor Newms: [4:49] Because because of how my flaps are I don't know what to call you know. Pastor Bill: [4:56] Dude little earlier let's do this. Pastor Newms: [4:59] I actually have to I have to do the same thing with one of my arms and pinch my body to type traditionally but I've done it for so many years it's weird I have my work keyboard is more, ergonomic and it's everything is at an angle, I used to have one that had like the full split in the middle and was actually like this and it's the most comfortable thing welcome Sadie. Pastor Bill: [5:37] Daddy's here now on Twitch. Pastor Newms: [5:39] So yeah. Pastor Bill: [5:42] Alright so here's this week shirt we've got how many Sunday's do we have left before Pride just. Pastor Newms: [5:49] One. Pastor Bill: [5:52] Now we have two more sadness. Pastor Newms: [5:55] To marchioness yeah too. Pastor Bill: [5:56] 20 second then the 29th, and so two more Sunday's this is this week shirt it says known in the horizontal and then loved in the vertical and this making the shape of a cross known and loot. Pastor Newms: [6:10] Phoenix says she hates it. Pastor Bill: [6:14] Not my favorite so far that's fine. Pastor Newms: [6:17] She says she says you look like garbage. Pastor Bill: [6:19] She didn't say that she just said not her favorite. It takes different styles for different people so I'm a different styles of shirts so anyway this is this week shirt, and we will be at Pride on the 4th of June so if you're coming to Dallas Pride come and see us if you're not coming to Dallas Pride then, pray that God would give us favor and that the people that need to know God loves them would be there too much great it's a great shirt bigs, it's a gray shirt. But they would be there and we could, minister to them hug them love them let them know that not all Christians are. [7:15] Probably unintentionally hopefully unintentionally hateful but that you know there is love God is love and we love them steak, all right so now it's time for getting another pastors and I have. Pastor Newms: [7:34] Got a new deck. Pastor Bill: [7:35] A new deck of a second edition interviewed. Pastor Newms: [7:40] I have to agree with that red as the background would be would be pretty would be pretty good. Pastor Bill: [7:48] I think they shirts come in I got like pink and. A bluish color this gray color I can't remember what L anyway all right there we go if you had a personal mascot, what would it be. [8:26] I would imagine it would be something that you relate to pick up mascot based off of who you are not who you want to be. Pastor Newms: [8:36] Yes I will agree with Biggs he is the Grande Osa so. Pastor Bill: [8:41] Grande Ossa the big bar. Pastor Newms: [8:44] Used to Big Bear the big bar. Pastor Bill: [8:48] Oh so Grand a month yeah also is Spanish for Bear anyway. Pastor Newms: [8:58] Grande Grande de I just him saying it wrong it's the right word I just don't even speak English right. Pastor Bill: [9:05] Anywhere expert don't sprechen to nothing. Pastor Newms: [9:08] I love I love, somewhat what time said something to me about you don't do well pronouncing words that aren't English look at the person who's like if you ever heard me speak normally like I don't pronounce English well homie like. Pastor Bill: [9:24] I don't even do English welcome home. Pastor Newms: [9:26] I don't do that well. Pastor Bill: [9:29] But you're my first language. Pastor Newms: [9:31] Yeah I have I have mad respect for anyone who speaks multiple languages because I can't speak one correctly. Pastor Bill: [9:47] An animal mascot. Pastor Newms: [9:49] So I would have to say if we're picking if we're picking an animal based on what we would want to be and something that would kind of shows are. I won't say core beliefs but our thought processes and things I would have to say a dragon just because I've always, I felt very connected to dragons and you know typically, their ideals for most Mythos is not all but most lineup pretty closely with mine but what do you think. Pastor Bill: [10:40] I'm I think my mascots an armadillo. Pastor Newms: [10:43] Armadillo can you explain why. Pastor Bill: [10:49] Um I'm pretty guarded as far as letting people in it takes a lot of proving before, let you in at just like an armadillo but then once you've proven yourself I'm pretty sweet and loyal, and kind and then I got I can't before she was with my nails and and I can be if I have to be not have to be but if I'm pushed too hard I can you know open up a can of, leprosy on your butt. Pastor Newms: [11:21] I I have to agree with with big. Pastor Bill: [11:25] You want to see me roll up in a ball. Pastor Newms: [11:27] See you roll up in a ball because what you just explained without the rolling up in a ball you as a possum. Pastor Bill: [11:38] Possums don't carry leprosy. Pastor Newms: [11:41] Opossums carry everything. Pastor Bill: [11:43] And they're not sweet possums are not sweet. Pastor Newms: [11:45] Yes they are they can be very good boys. Pastor Bill: [11:47] Even when you get to be friendly with them they're still like. Pastor Newms: [11:52] So is a cat have you met and younger. Pastor Bill: [11:57] I didn't choose a cat. Pastor Newms: [11:59] I'm just saying like saying you're mean so I'm. Pastor Bill: [12:06] Honey why am I mean. Pastor Newms: [12:09] You mean I would like to see you roll up in a ball though. Pastor Bill: [12:13] Okay once you open them. Pastor Newms: [12:24] Click the internet's new thing it's not do a flip it's roll up in a ball. Pastor Bill: [12:27] It's roll up in a ball. Do the ball roll over the ball I'll see you ball. Pastor Newms: [12:32] Do the ball do a ball thing. Pastor Bill: [12:35] Do the ball fine I'm sorry the what the what what what are we what what is this trend what are we doing. Pastor Newms: [12:42] We're going to need some clarification on this. Pastor Bill: [12:44] Oh you know we're different we're dipping things in soy sauce. Pastor Newms: [12:47] No we are not no we are not I did not participate in that and we'll probably never participate in that. Pastor Bill: [12:57] Okay so tonight's episode is called. [13:05] Bad Brains on YouTube says Ball but don't cry while you're there. Pastor Newms: [13:10] Let's see I could take this two ways I could take this the way of balling is crying, funny punny way that y'all live your lives or I could take it as. Pastor Bill: [13:25] We are pretty puntastic family. Pastor Newms: [13:27] She could completely see you balled up and crying so I'm not sure how to take what she said but I'm going to I'm going to assume it was the puntastic Miss of just how you guys breathe. It's something. Pastor Bill: [13:49] All right so tonight's episode is called still and so let's start in 325 ad. And newms you go ahead and tell the story from 325 ad. Pastor Newms: [14:06] 325 ad let me think what could have happened in 325 ad um I think there was a council, so so it's funny for clarity for everyone who is listening that might not know this is my favorite story, probably from, all of church history this is one of my favorite stories and, Pastor Bill today is like he sent me his notes and he's like this is what we're talking about, by the way do you know what this term means and I was like now I was about to have to Google it so go ahead and he was like well it was. Pastor Bill: [14:56] Cool the bishop of Egypt they don't necessarily. Pastor Newms: [14:59] The bishop of Egypt he he wasn't necessary yeah true sorry a bishop in Egypt had a belief, that Jesus was not God, would you like to tell the specific of what the belief States and then I'll tell the story around it. Pastor Bill: [15:21] Right so Airy arianism teaches that, Jesus is not was not never was never will be God that he was the first of God's creations, and that he served the purpose of coming to Earth, to teach us how to be right with God and all things were created through Jesus and that Jesus did ascended to the right hand of the father, but just a little lower than God and this is what arianism teach us. Pastor Newms: [16:03] If for those of you for those of you out there that have listened to the podcast for a long time you already know where this is going, you've heard this story but it's a great story and I begged to get to tell it again even though we've told it so at this Council, where all the Bishops had come together to make decisions on Church leadership like they were doing in those times. Pastor Bill: [16:29] In a place called niacin. Pastor Newms: [16:30] Nicaea this is the same area the same type of council that decided which books of the Bible, make up the Bible what you know different things like this so they were discussing and one of the things that got brought up was this whole thing about Jesus not being God, and there was. Pastor Bill: [16:50] The specific topic was the trinity. Pastor Newms: [16:52] The trinity, and this particular Bishop brought up well Jesus isn't here's the reason blah blah blah and got really kind of, loud and heated about it and some people viewed it as disrespectful one of the people who viewed it. Pastor Bill: [17:12] Not disrespectful to the discourse. Pastor Newms: [17:15] No no this is for disrespectful to God. Pastor Bill: [17:17] To Jesus. Pastor Newms: [17:19] So to be clear at the Council of nicaea the emperor was there and any physical violence in front of the emperor, what's the death sentence but knowing this a gentleman named Nicholas, who is better known as Santa Claus. Pastor Bill: [17:39] He was the bishop of Myra. Pastor Newms: [17:42] So st. Nicholas walks across the room. Pastor Bill: [17:46] Not a thing at this point. Pastor Newms: [17:47] Not a saying at this point right but the person we now know as a saint. Pastor Bill: [17:51] Because of the miracle that happened. Pastor Newms: [17:53] Because yeah because the the supposed Miracle walked across the room and, smacked him so hard in the mouth that knocked him over knocked him right out of his chair, and and that's my Santa Claus after this point because of creating violence in front of the emperor he was of course arrested, which I don't know the validity that's why I'm not going to call it a miracle but supposedly when they changed his clothes to put him into prison the guards the next morning came up and he was wearing a whole new set of white clothes and, they were like who gave that to you and and it's like well I'll give you a hint um. Pastor Bill: [18:49] They were like we're here to take you to the Executioner except that's not what you were wearing on me lock the cell. Pastor Newms: [18:56] So how did you get those clothes oh well I can't remember was it Mary or Jesus that he said visited him. Pastor Bill: [19:05] I don't. Pastor Newms: [19:06] I don't remember off the story I'm sorry but he had a visitation, and the person gave him clothes and so because of that the emperor was like well we're not killing him today and pardoned him and that is also how you know in order to become a saint in the Catholic Church you must have, miracles must happen to you from you around you excetera Etc and so because of that event that is the miracle that, was attached to him that allowed him to become Saint Nicholas that we know. Pastor Bill: [19:41] After he died. Pastor Newms: [19:42] After he died and my Santa Claus so that's my. Pastor Bill: [19:48] Taken away from him hundreds of years later because of said the Santa Claus lore and then was restored later back to him because that stupid. Pastor Newms: [20:00] It's not his fault yep. But anyway so the reason that we're saying still is because, I'm assuming this is why we're saying it because I didn't talk about to the about this part the problem is is we are still to this day dealing with people who believe, that Jesus was just an angel or just a prophet or etc etc. Pastor Bill: [20:46] So there's this new new ish movement called the Torah movement, and originally it didn't start in Christian circles it started in secular Circles by people who saw the value of Old Testament beliefs and decided to start keeping Torah, they don't consider themselves Jews they don't consider themselves Christians they don't consider themselves, religious in any way they just saw the value of Torah, and then it spread into becoming a religion and then Christians started becoming joining this Torah movement and then no longer considering themselves, Christian's anymore because now they no longer believe, Jesus Is God and they don't believe in the need for the propitiation of sin through crucifixion and sacrifice that even though you know. With the Torah so. Pastor Newms: [21:52] So what kind of kind of the whole point of the Old Law. Pastor Bill: [21:58] So I just wanted to I just wanted to point out some some some scriptures where we talk about how we know, Jesus is God, or at least he was before he became a man because why didn't I put that in my notes the Bible talks about him giving up Divinity to become a man. And then Paul talks about that man then being exalted back, the position of above everything got it. Pastor Newms: [22:41] And you can't give up what you didn't ever have. Pastor Bill: [22:45] That's true you can't get up with you didn't have so and and and these people that have these beliefs, they're tricky their Trixie because they will call out John 1:1 and they will say yeah yeah in the beginning was the word and the Word was with God, but that doesn't mean the Word was God except when we go read John 11. [23:19] John 11 and we're going to read through three. [23:29] It says, in the beginning was the word and the Word was with God and that's where they stop quoting it but the next part is and the Word was God, he was with God in the beginning all things were created through him and apart from him not one thing was created that has been created, so the mental gymnastics, that has to go on to quote John 11 as part of your defense to claim that Jesus isn't God. [24:04] Is staggering and if you're looking at that and you're going I don't understand how does that what does this word thing so if we stay in the same chapter John one, and we go down to verses 14 through 18 K the word became flesh and dwelt Among Us, we observed his glory the glory as the one and only son from the father full of grace and truth, John testified concerning him and he's claimed this was the one of whom I said the one coming after me ranks ahead of me because he existed before me, indeed we have all received Grace upon Grace from his fullness for the law was given through Moses, Grace and Truth came through Jesus Christ, no one has ever seen God the one and only son who is himself God and is at the father's side he has revealed himself. [25:07] That's in the csb verse 18 there the phrase who is himself God, it makes me uncomfortable that they included that in the csb translation because it's not in the majority manuscripts that's in a minority manuscript if you go read the King James, it's not even there it's not part of the original Greek that they the manuscript Greek that they, used to make the New Testament in King James is time and even now it's not the majority manuscript it's a minority manuscript so makes me uncomfortable I believe the phrase I believe that, forgot to actually pull up my hard copy Bible I believe that phrase that Jesus is God you know but it makes me uncomfortable to use that Minority manuscript chunk. [26:05] Just because it agrees with you know the way we believe that's it's not really how you're supposed to be translating the Bible but that's my personal belief not, yeah anything else okay so clearly from John chapter 1 we can see that, Jesus Is God Jesus was God in the beginning was the word and I've always, personally not always but for the last decade or two I replaced that word word with the word motive because it's. [26:42] We've conflated in our religious beliefs the word word meaning Bible, word of God you know and then then we equate this is Jesus in my hands and that's simply not the case, but motive actually expresses the concept that's being taught in John 1:1 so the beginning was the motive, and the motive was with God and the were in the motive was the word and the motive was God he was with God in the beginning all things were created through him and apart from him not one thing created, that was created has been created the motive became flesh and dwelt Among Us well why, why does that sit well because you do things because you're driven by a motive your you have this motive to do something, the motive of creation the reason why God created was. Pastor Newms: [27:39] And in that word, logos is something said by implication a topic also reasoning or motive by accent by extension a compulsion, that's not the word compulsion a come. [28:02] Put competish Co MP UTA tion specifically. Pastor Bill: [28:10] Computation. Pastor Newms: [28:11] Yes thank you specifically the Divine expression that is Christ, accountable I mean account cause communication concerning Doctrine matter mouth preaching question you know there's a whole list of words that it can be. Pastor Bill: [28:28] All of that to say it's not just the. Pastor Newms: [28:31] Yeah. Pastor Bill: [28:32] Thing that comes out of your mouth it's the thing that comes out of your mouth and why what's the why behind it. Um and so that's what that is and that becomes flesh well that is Jesus Jesus becomes flesh he is that thing and it was in the beginning, you know the chiefest of time the you know, the first and foremost and I'll and I'll give the tour of movement revelation. [29:28] Right to Laird Ephesus Smyrna pergamum Montana city was Philadelphia but that's not right. [29:52] Maybe it only makes sense in the King James. [29:58] Sorry guys I do like the leg return. The lag I don't like the lag when I when I had to look something up because I forgot to put it in my notes. Pastor Newms: [30:12] Oh Pastor Bill: [30:19] All right yeah Revelations 3:14, it says and unto the angel of the Church of the lady of Seasons write these things saith the amen the faithful and true witness the beginning of the creation of God. And I'll give them that in English that sounds a whole lot like Jesus was the first thing God created. But in Greek the idea being expressed is Chief. [31:00] Um principality magistrate power principle rule. [31:07] The ruler of the creation the magistrate of the creation of God the, principality of the creation of God it's the person who starts it it's the person who oversees it it's it using this context it doesn't mean the first thing to be created, um and in King James it's time they probably understood that turn of phrase to mean what it means but when we read it face value today, I'll give them that that verse sounds like Jesus was a creation the first of the creations. [31:49] But as definitely not what's being said there and even people that try to defend, this Torah movement they'll say things like well I don't need any of that Greek stuff I've got my I've got my King James that's all I need, I'm good I don't need any that Greek and Hebrew stuff I've got all I need right here, and I'm like hmm that's how you lead to misunderstandings of translation because, the King James in your hand wasn't written using the same vernacular that you speak now to none of the cultural context of what's going on in the people that wrote and who that's wrote, you don't understand that cultural context. [32:41] And so for cultural context let's turn to make sure this is the right note that I'm about to talk about yes we're like we're going to turn to John. [32:57] Chapter 8 verses 48 through 59 big Sid Revelation oh what was the rebbe the verse in Revelation. Pastor Newms: [33:09] Where did Big say that. Pastor Bill: [33:12] On Twitch he wrote revelation. Pastor Newms: [33:15] Why didn't restream pick that up. Pastor Bill: [33:17] I'm looking at restraint. Biggs it was Revelations chapter 3 and verse 14 was the verse that sounds in the King James if we want to read it in the aren't was it 14. Kareem CSP it says right to the angel of the church in Letty ousia thus says the a man the faithful and true witness the originator of God's creation the originator. [33:54] That word makes more sense in modern vernacular with what the message that verse is okay so for cultural context now we're going to turn to John chapter 8 verses 48 through 59 and this is a cultural context thing that, that I see missing in their understanding they'll bring this up even, um starting in verse 48 the Jews responded to him Jesus aren't we right and saying that you're a Samaritan and have a demon like them is fighting words first off, you don't come to a teacher a rabbi who has you know hundreds of followers and call them a Samaritan and a demon-possessed Samaritan that's just. [34:48] So in 49 Jesus replies I do not have a demon he didn't say he wasn't Samaritan you noticed that he didn't even touch that he was like I'm not touching your racism with a 10-foot Pole, I do not have a demon Jesus answered on the contrary I honor my father and you dishonor me, I do not seek my own Glory there is one who seeks it and judges truly I tell you if anyone keeps my word he will never see death, then the Jews said now we know you have a demon, Abraham died and so did the prophets you say if anyone keeps my word he will never taste death are you greater than our Father Abraham who died and the prophets died who do you claim to be. [35:34] If I glorify myself Jesus answered my glory is, my father about whom you say he is our God he is the one who glorifies me and you do not know him but I know him, if I were to say I don't know him I would be a liar like you, but I do know him and I keep his word your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day he saw it and was glad, the Jews replied you aren't 50 years old yet and you've seen Abraham Jesus said to them truly I tell you, before Abraham was I am so they picked up stones to throw at him but Jesus was hidden and he went out of the Temple. [36:23] So this phrase I am Jesus just literally called himself God, just point blank those words I am aren't you don't even say them in their culture because of the fact that God refers to himself as I am. Pastor Newms: [36:39] Uh-huh. Pastor Bill: [36:42] You don't even say things like I am ready to go to the store that's not a phrase they would have used because it had the words I am in it, they would have chosen a different phrasing, because that's the name of God and Jesus didn't you say that he called himself that and, so there's that cultural context of well Jesus just called himself God that's why they picked up the rocks to Stone him because he just created he just he just made the biggest hair radical. Pastor Newms: [37:12] Uh-huh. Pastor Bill: [37:14] In their culture. Right he called himself God, and instead of understanding that and seeing that the Torah movement Defenders then pivot, to Exodus why is that not in my notes eat. [37:39] Why are my notes missing notes. Pastor Newms: [37:43] I don't know what you did homie. Pastor Bill: [37:45] I don't know what it is either I've got notes in my head that aren't on my page Exodus chapter 3. [38:01] And so we'll go to Exodus chapter 3 in those they'll bring up the story and it'll say, meanwhile Moses was shepherding the flock of his father-in-law Jethro the priest of Midian, sorry Midian he led the flock to The Far Side of the Wilderness and came to Horeb the Mountain of God then the angel of the Lord appeared to him in a flame of fire within a bush and that's where they stop reading and they said, see there it was an angel of the Lord in the bush not God was the angel of the Lord who called himself I am, and so that was Jesus in the bush but that wasn't God in the bush but then if you keep reading. [38:44] So we stopped, at verse 2 now so let's finish verse to as Moses look he said the Bush was on fire but was not consumed so Moses thought I must go over there and look at this remarkable sight why isn't the bush burning up, when the Lord saw that he gone over to look God called out to him from the Bush Moses Moses, God speaks through the bush. It's God talking it may have identified it as an angel of the Lord inhabiting the bush but that's God's voice coming out of the fire. [39:33] God calls himself I am in this statement it could repeat key repeatedly says God said God replied even when it gets to the I am it says God replied to Moses I am who I am. [39:53] And so it's this it's these mental gymnastics to try to defend this theology, that leads you away from Christ away from faith in Christ, and into this place where remember we talked about when Paul talks about circumcision physical circumcision he talks about your picking up a piece of the law, and when you do that when you pick up one piece your then, required to carry out all the law and when you do that you've made the work of Christ null and void of no effect, there was no point in Jesus coming and and you're choosing to to give up everything Jesus came and did. [40:45] And that's a dangerous place to be not because I think you can lose your salvation right because, once you truly believe you believe, and those who leave us they never truly believe so if you are are able to be convinced by a snake oil salesman, that, geez know Jesus is really God and and that's not what the Bible means and you're you're a be able to convince it that you probably didn't believe to begin with, because once you believe you believe, there's no one can come to me right now and say you see there Jesus doesn't exist and that's not how it bubbly you can't convince me of that because I wasn't convinced to believe it, I believe it because I believe it it's faith, I don't need evidence I don't need you to tell me something different, I believe it to be the truth I wasn't mentally convinced of it through some gymnastics of logic that's not how Faith Works. [42:01] There are those that believe religious statements, because they were convinced to believe them or they were coerced into believe them or they were you know, feared into believing them coerced into making statements that they didn't actually understand right, and this is this is one of the reasons why we support deconstruction, as an organization because if you were coerced and you're actually not headed for eternity with God you should sussed that out now instead of when it's too late right, um but this Torah movement thing it's just it's cool. Pastor Newms: [42:50] It's weird yeah it's yet another one of those movements where. It doesn't even like as it's happening you're like wait a second what those two things like don't even match. Pastor Bill: [43:15] Now we're not and just to just to be clear we're not talking about the Hebrew Roots movement, there is a Hebrew Roots movement that very very intensely believes that Jesus is God and he is Lord and and but what they believe that to be a true disciple of Christ, you need to live like Christ dead and Christ lives according to precepts that he found in Torah, right and so. Pastor Newms: [43:48] Why so he followed Torah. Pastor Bill: [43:50] So that's what they believe the Hebrew Roots movement believes that for my own physical, edification and to truly satisfy at the end of the day when I look in the mirror and I say I'm a true disciple of Christ I need to do XYZ, not because salvation is tied to it not because righteousness is tied to it but for my own satisfaction for myself, I need to keep Torah and that's perfectly fine, you're allowed to say I'm not going to drink to drink alcohol today because I believe that's bad for me I'm not gonna do this today because I believe that's good for me you're allowed to do all of that, all of that the dividing line is when you start saying things like, Jesus isn't God and didn't need to die for your sins, and and start literally teaching a different gospel than what's taught, by Paul and the other Apostles here in this tiny portion at the back of the Bible its you know compared to the rest of the Bible is this tiny portion. Pastor Newms: [45:07] And it's something that you know so often, we deal with in the modern world people trying to redefine or change the meaning of and. Often times we have to look at the whole like okay well you know o the spirit the Holy Spirit told me this, and you're like but that is completely opposite of the foundings of the teachers in the Bible if something is completely, opposite scripture or the Bible however you want to look at that that's where we have to go mmm does that does that truly, shake out especially if you start writing new New Testaments to justify what you want to do and you would you like to answer Juno, hi Juno it's been a minute how you doing also side note. Pastor Bill: [46:25] Well the question on Twitch from Juno Malone who asks how do you pronounce it Collision well you pronounce it ich lesion and, don't worry I get that question a lot so here's what happened is the Greek word for church or Community is ekklesia, ekklesia so it should be a clear seein right but that doesn't have an English ring to it, um and so I changed it to eke lesion for our purposes but it is occlusion coming from ekklesia and coming from ekklesia basically meaning of the church. So there you go of the church or of the community is basically what equation means. Pastor Newms: [47:17] Which is also why. Pastor Bill: [47:19] Of the church House Of The Community House. Pastor Newms: [47:21] When Pastor Bill made our website a collision house.com, II I tried to spell it for about six months and then was like we're going to have to do something. Pastor Bill: [47:37] It's then I got our ekk. House. Pastor Newms: [47:40] Yeah. Pastor Bill: [47:41] URL and email addresses and all that because. Pastor Newms: [47:45] Occlusion house in dyslexia don't go well together. Pastor Bill: [47:46] Somebody couldn't spell Ecclesia and over and over and over and over again. Pastor Newms: [47:50] Does it I couldn't get into my own email. Pastor Bill: [47:55] He's like past news it dude how do you spell it again. Pastor Newms: [47:57] Yeah anyway yes thank you for the question you're welcome for the answer. Pastor Bill: [48:12] All right give anything else your dad I know you were. Pastor Newms: [48:15] No I was I was I was I was wrapped up with my with my thought process I wrapped up before I, went to Geno's question but it definitely. It is something that I've actually had a couple conversations over the last couple of days about things that don't necessarily make sense because, what they call themselves isn't even matching what they are, things like the tour movement the Torah movement but we'll ignore large parts of the Torah, and everything else attached to the Torah will just focus on the parts that we like and ignore you know so it's interesting when we. Pastor Bill: [49:04] The real in the rib to me the really interesting part about the whole thing is that Matthew Mark Luke John James Peter Paul said all these people they were Torah keepers, it was Torah Keepers who wrote the New Testament and said. [49:23] We were given the laws of Moses through you know by God through Moses but now Grace and Truth has come, through Jesus and and Paul said no no I don't hate the Lyle of the law the law taught me right from wrong but now, I'm under the grace of Christ and while everything may not be good for me I'm free to do whatever I want, and while everything may not edify me I'm free to do whatever I want now should I well no because there's things that want to kill me, there's things that will literally kill me and literally Lead Me Away from where I need to be but I could if I wanted to, and that's I think a lot of people don't get that about the gospel that the New Testament actually preaches it is for freedom, that Christ set us free it's not for slavery it didn't set us free from the bondage that we were in so that we could just be in a new bondage he set us free so that, we have freedom we can choose to do whatever we want it's not necessarily good for us right but but we have the freedom to. Anyway that's a whole nother that's a whole nother topic and a whole nother Ranch. Pastor Newms: [50:52] That's a whole nother topic whole nother topic that we've gone down a couple times so. Pastor Bill: [50:58] Be aware and careful out there because the Bible warns that from the get-go there were people who were teaching other gospels and that that will just continue to ramp up, people will continue to. [51:15] Bring just completely Twisted things that they think they've heard from the scriptures and honestly, when you talk to a tour of movement person and you talk to a Muslim, there's not really much difference between the way the two of them see the world they talk about Jesus the same way, they have World Views that are very similar so it's not really a new thing at all it's it's a bunch of old things regurgitated into a new package, and it's not right, weird and honestly you won't hear me say this a lot but it's wrong, I don't I don't say that a lot because I think it's up to you to decide but this is one that is just point blank wrong. [52:16] All right so this podcast comes out every Wednesday night at 7 p.m. wherever you, get your podcast and we also record it live on Sunday nights at 6:30 p.m. Central Standard time on Twitch YouTube and Facebook and you could go to our website, EK K dot house to find out which twitch which Facebook and which YouTube that you can go to to participate live, um what are you laughing about Jesse something wrong again. Pastor Newms: [52:49] No no no you say it you say it correctly every week but, there's just something about the phrase which to itch. Pastor Bill: [53:00] Which witch. Pastor Newms: [53:00] That makes that makes my mind giggle because it's like which twitch which Facebook and with just that which to which is makes me it makes me giggle because. Pastor Bill: [53:11] It makes me happy to say which twitch. Pastor Newms: [53:11] Close I know and that makes me giggle as well I'm in a good mood today that's weird anyway continue. Pastor Bill: [53:18] And then as we said you know throughout Journal Malone has a question or that brings on YouTube says or big says these are people that are participating life in the conversation and we would like to invite you to come participate live as well. Intro And Outro Music Pastor Bill: [53:32] So hopefully you can join us some Sunday evening at 6:30 p.m. and that's all we have for you this week I love you and I hope you have a great.

Pastor Bill: [0:47] Bigs pointed out this is the the next shirt design that we're highlighting that we're going to be selling at Dallas Pride on June 4th we've got a nice. Heart ish looking symbol and the middle it's not. It's open to interpretation what it is but if it makes me I when I see it I see like it's kind of like a heart you know and then it's just fully loved along this one side and it's got the two scriptures in the and the website down there, and so that's one of the shirts and then it's got all the colors of the rainbow and once again it is featuring a saint, there's just turned and positioned in a in an interesting way to yeah to. The heart looking shape so this is one of the shirts that will be selling it pride cool all right passengers how was your. Pastor Newms: [1:52] Looks pretty good I worked a bunch and play games bunch and did not, we did not stream this week for the church we did know gaming with the pastors are our gameplay was quite Limited. Pastor Bill: [2:11] We didn't do a lot of gaming even. Pastor Newms: [2:13] Will you didn't you were busy. Pastor Bill: [2:15] I was making that I said we I was making that Mother's Day present for my chillins mama. Pastor Newms: [2:26] Yeah and so not a ton of stuff real busy at work work is work is crazy busy right now is I don't see it slowing down anytime soon. Pastor Bill: [2:37] Can I just say this shirt is super soft. Pastor Newms: [2:40] Didn't you get the kinds that we really like. Pastor Bill: [2:44] Um for the new Free Hug shirts I did, this is not quite the same blend but it is so soft that I'm tempted to just not wear an undershirt in the future when I wear these shirts. Pastor Newms: [3:00] That's interesting I. Pastor Bill: [3:02] Which is weird for me. Pastor Newms: [3:03] I realized like 30 seconds before going live then I'm not even wearing a graphic tee and I'm just literally wearing a George shirt from Walmart and, which I usually don't do on Sunday nights. Pastor Bill: [3:14] But you love those George shirt. Pastor Newms: [3:15] Love these George sure I don't know what it is about them recently that they are just phenomenal they've upped their game which. Pastor Bill: [3:24] Nominally. Pastor Newms: [3:25] Which is crazy because. Pastor Bill: [3:28] Prince Ali yes it is he. Pastor Newms: [3:32] I don't like Target I was I'm always been a Walmart person it might have something to do with work. Pastor Bill: [3:38] Now you're going to you're going to upset the cult of. Pastor Newms: [3:41] I understand it's fine. Pastor Bill: [3:42] We're going to get angry. Pastor Newms: [3:43] I'm sure that's not the only one we're going to get angry emails about by the end of this night but that's beside the. Pastor Bill: [3:47] Man. Pastor Newms: [3:48] So I wouldn't do a Target and like zaidi and said targets close have gone downhill and I went in there and it looks, Walmart like all the all the things were just piles of clothes and there was trash in the aisles and it was it was all kinds of like. Pastor Bill: [4:23] I love that it looked like Walmart and then proceeds to list off all of these horrible things that we're going on. Pastor Newms: [4:32] But the quality of clothes supposedly has gone down I don't know I don't buy their clothes I barely by Walmart clothes I barely buy clothes I still have clothes from high school. Pastor Bill: [4:44] Minion gun on Twitch says that they love targets button up shirt. Pastor Newms: [4:48] Never tried one they might they might be. Pastor Bill: [4:51] I wouldn't know. Pastor Newms: [4:52] They might be great. Pastor Bill: [4:53] I used to buy you know I used to buy a lot of clothes from Walmart until I got too big they don't so close in my size, and target has never sold clothes in my size, once I you know turn 16 I couldn't buy clothes it targeted me more because they were all too small for me so yeah and now I exclusively by a big and tall stores for everything not because I'm tall but because, um so I don't really have a favorite for clothes Walmart or Target because none of their clothes fit me you'd think in the country with an obesity epidemic, um we would be easier to get clothes for a fat person but it's not it's not easy getting close as a fat person, so Pastor Newms: [5:45] No it's not um how was your week. Pastor Bill: [5:52] My week was good I feel good this week, I got up at a good time most days I wasn't like drugging myself on the bed and and so I've just I don't know I've had a good feeling this week I've gotten, back to being able to eat salads every day this week I did that so that that always helps make me feel a little better too but I don't know I just had to really good good week and I look good. So all right well it's time for getting to know the pastures and we've already gone through my whole deck. Pastor Newms: [6:31] So Pastor Bill: [6:32] And I thought I had another interview deck but I don't see it I'll have to look for it again this week so we'll go ahead and pull a card from your deck and see where we go. Pastor Newms: [6:41] All right so what would your dream house look like be as descriptive as possible. Pastor Bill: [6:50] My dream house be as descriptive as possible. Pastor Newms: [6:53] Not where you live is that pretty much the only way. Pastor Bill: [6:58] So I want a house that's got like one floor for each person and then one floor, as the communal living area at the bottom and then it's got to have the elevators and then all Glass Walls once you get above a couple of floors so you can see the scenery out, and other than that I don't really have any of them just give me some elevators get me up there. Pastor Newms: [7:25] See you in mines exactly the opposite it would be completely underground cave system Style with you know everything that that. Pastor Bill: [7:34] But see that's the beauty of our relationship is it could be the same building. Pastor Newms: [7:40] With lots and lots of rooms. Pastor Bill: [7:42] Yours floors could be sub and my floors could be out and and Minion got on Twitch made a nice callback to an Audio Adrenaline classic. Pastor Newms: [7:51] He just wants a big house a big big house. Pastor Bill: [7:55] Big house a big big house with lots and lots of rooms big big yard where we can play football that sounds like my father's house. Pastor Newms: [8:08] Yeah it's it's definitely. Yeah I am not one that cares a lot about what the house looks like I'm more about the function, I don't like a lot of windows I don't like a lot of that kind of stuff I prefer, closed spaces underground is nice also because the heating and air bills are lower because it holds temperature better and these new 3D printed houses are pretty nice if you 3D printed the bunker and then. Pastor Bill: [8:47] Something that happened this week as well you brought up 3D printed houses and zaidi was like a what now. Pastor Newms: [8:54] What what's a 3D printed house. Pastor Bill: [8:56] What are you talking about 3D print and I bet in her brain she was literally thinking of the little 3D printers and like 3D printing one little piece at a time. Pastor Newms: [9:05] And putting it together because she's like she's like like a prefab house and I'm like. Pastor Bill: [9:19] Yeah they come in with a big machine and it spits out concrete in the design around and around and back and forth around around just like 3D printing its snake. Pastor Newms: [9:31] Yeah it's a lot of fun. Pastor Bill: [9:36] So you'd live underground and I would live up as high as possible, and it could all be the same house and I could just feel like I need to go to the studio and I get in my elevator and I hit sub-sub bait subfloor one and that's like this the studio like we worked there and, record podcast and stuff that'd be fun. 11 or but one end or both of us needs to win the lottery a couple times and make that a reality. Pastor Newms: [10:02] Good luck. Pastor Bill: [10:04] That's that's why they'll never happen for me right there good luck. Pastor Newms: [10:12] And yes Biggs we actually cuz me and Biggs were doing a puzzle today we had the windows open to you know so we didn't have unnatural light and we did we complained the whole time and, yes the only thing above ground I believe needs to be a castle turret just. Pastor Bill: [10:32] A moat and some turrets. Pastor Newms: [10:33] Just a moat and some turrets in everyone's like where's the rest of the house uh-huh. Pastor Bill: [10:37] It's underneath is underneath that I need the. Pastor Newms: [10:39] Don't worry about it. Pastor Bill: [10:41] You do if you don't know you don't need. [10:48] All right so, let's Unite we are. Going to be breaching something that's touchy and I think everybody saw this coming because of everything that's been going on this week but first thing I want to I want to poll is. Are we. Team depth or team heard because it seems like it would be hard to be team heard it had to be like Team Russia to be team heard at this point. Pastor Newms: [11:22] It's real hard to, I have not consumed all of it on purpose but I know I have been boycotting d.c. for a while just, from the beginning so I'll let that you can take that to mean whatever you would like. Pastor Bill: [11:48] Because you are already team death. Pastor Newms: [11:49] Yeah so but the. Is either person perfect know both people had issues made mistakes blah blah blah. I believe one didn't lie as much and I believe one didn't. Cause issues as much but it's always hard in those types of situations too. Do you know we have a we have a thoughts process of, we have to believe you know, certain aspects we have to love we have to respect we have to you know and so I've left it very much I don't know as Phoenix said, as the evidence is come out we're pretty much able to make some determinations but it is still always hard with situations like that. Pastor Bill: [13:12] All right everything came out this week was a leak from the Supreme Court. Pastor Newms: [13:20] There was. Pastor Bill: [13:20] Right there was a leak from the Supreme Court and the leak said and it was a draft of a. A majority opinion the majority opinion means it's the the winner of a, of a court case to have a majority opinion someone's chosen to write the majority opinion and someone's chosen to RIT right the dissenting opinion the majority opinion is of well this is why the court agreed and gave favor too the dissenting opinion is always well this is why certain judges voted against in a court case. Pastor Newms: [14:01] Hm Pastor Bill: [14:02] And this majority opinion LED everyone who read it to believe because it almost point-blank said it that the cases of Roe and Casey were both going to have to be overturned. Moving forward and so this put a lot of people up in arms and there's a lot of turmoil going on and there's a lot of, rhetoric being used now back and forth but what. [14:41] Hertz is the right word me the most is the Christian rhetoric so I want to start off and and just, relate something from my past right quick and then we'll look at a couple of scriptures and then we'll break down kind of, how we should look at situations like this I'm not going to tell you what to believe on the topic your, a human being that's capable of hearing from the Holy Spirit and making your own mind up but I want to I want to, just illuminate the areas and and it's going to be tough it's it's it's a tough issue but we don't shy away from tough issues just because they're tough, um we want to talk about things like this and not Echo chamber talk but actually have a critical conversation about, you know how we see things and how we portray ourselves and how Christianity is being portrayed and so. Take a trip back with me several several years ago before. Not before I get shortly after 9/11. Pastor Newms: [15:54] Okay. Pastor Bill: [15:55] So 9/11 happens and. Everybody's searching for a sama Bin Laden right Asama Bin Laden hadn't been captured yet Saddam Hussein hadn't been captured yet and so, everyone is looking for these guys and I'm working at a Christian Ministry and we're having this prayer time, every morning every morning as a department we would get together first thing in the morning and we would have prayer we would have worship we would have you know just a little time just to reset our hearts and our minds from being out in the world so that we could do work in the ministry space. [16:37] And we're having this prayer time and the person that's leading that day starts praying that God would be with the soldiers that are hunting for Saddam Hussein. And kill him and it broke my heart. Because may I understand from an American standpoint, we're in a war with those people be I understand from your political standpoint he is your enemy see I understand from a worldview you know he's hurting his people. But I also understand that historically throughout scripture God has moved on dictators. And turn their hearts and led whole Nations to repentance and Revival. [17:41] And instead of praying for God to move and for God to do what God does and for God to intervene and for God to change the heart and for God to revolutionize the country and for God to, we're praying for this leader to be killed. And I just can't. [18:07] Can't reconcile that kind of thing with my heart with my beliefs with my thought process I am, I'm pro-life and when I say that I mean I am anti-death penalty I am anti-war I am. Pastor Newms: [18:25] Annoyingly so huh aye aye vote huh I said annoyingly so. Pastor Bill: [18:35] Annoyingly so and so War I am yes I'm anti abortion but no I'm not anti. [18:45] Woman who finds herself in a situation I believe that people should be loved no matter what, um it's like there's the one song, walk a mile in another person's shoes and it's got the whole verse about the girl who the young man told her you know all baby we're going to be together forever and I love you and and then, they get intimate and she becomes pregnant through months later he's you know he's onto something new, and she's a teenage girl left with this decision of you know this is this is going to wreck my whole life she makes tickets decision to go get an abortion and she's met at the abortion clinic with people calling her a sinner and a whore instead of oh baby girl, let me hold you let me love you let me take care of you I'm sorry you're in this situation instead of actually doing Ministry to the person we've over and over and over and I say we because I'm a believer that, I take responsibility for what we as Christians do, the church it's not enough to say well I don't personally do that but that church over there is doing it until we're all on the same page we're all guilty for what that church is doing. [20:13] And so that's where we are right now in this situation so let's I just I want to talk about I just want to bring up a couple of scriptures and then will you know will dig more into. How we should look at all of this but the first thing is there's there's the bump the scripture bump scripture which was John 15 and 19 and. We're going to have to remove this statement why are my caught my comments not going to Twitch. Pastor Newms: [20:50] I don't know it didn't when I did it earlier to I fixed it. Pastor Bill: [20:53] We're going to have to remove a statement from its context but not take it out of context okay, so this is Jesus talking he says if the world hates you understand that it hated me before it hated you, if you were of the world the world would love you as its own however because you are not of the world I have chosen you out of it, the world hates you now we're not going to talk about whether or not the world hates us or is persecuting us or whatever. As an American in in in this day and age is a Christian I don't feel persecuted I feel what's the word I'm looking for. Pastor Newms: [21:37] What's the word you looking for sometimes. Pastor Bill: [21:40] Discriminated against very slightly. Pastor Newms: [21:45] Very. Pastor Bill: [21:46] But nowhere near to what I see people of other color receiving, I don't feel that kind of discriminated and I certainly don't feel persecuted like say the Muslims trying to live in China right now that are in are in actual concentration camps, I don't I'm not living that life I don't feel any of that I'm free to go to church and to share the name of Jesus and to you know read my Bible and to pray in public eye I don't feel hated, but what the idea that I want to pull from here is, you are not of the world so when we look at these situations we see these things going around on around us we have to remember, that we don't have to get caught up in all that we don't have to let it sway us, to and fro and affect us to the point where we're distraught or overburdened or were you know at a loss for how to respond because we're not of this world. [22:56] We're here but we're not of the world, we're of different stock okay and then the other thing I wanted to talk about, marked it with my my thing and I don't know where it was okay here we go it's Kitty type this in for me newms it's Matthew chapter 22, and we're going to start at verse 15 and go through 21. [23:31] Then the Pharisees went and plotted how to trap him Jesus by what he said so they sent their disciples to him along with the herodians, teacher they said we know that you are truthful and teach truthfully the way of God you don't care what anyone thinks nor do you show partiality, tell us then what you think is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar or not, perceiving their malicious intent Jesus said why are you testing me Hypocrites show me the coin used for the tax they brought him a Denarius whose image and inscription is this he asked, Caesars they said to him then he said to them give then to Caesar the things that are Caesar's and to God the things that are gods, when they heard this they were amazed so they left him and went away now. [24:26] A lot of people strictly use this to go you see there you should pay your taxes, give unto Caesar what is Caesar's given to pay your tithe you should pay your taxes right there says, that's not exactly the idea that they do is cut that is covered but that's not exactly what's going on there what's going on there is almost literally the separation of church and state. The state is one thing and you given to the state what is do the state the church is another thing and you given to the church what is the church. The state should not be telling the church how to do ministry as in you can't tell me that I can't feed the poor, like some of the laws that have been passed in California where it's illegal to how have food lines out on the street now you can't feed the poor you shouldn't be able to tell me that I can't have a Bible study, which I'm not talking about covid I'm not I get it I understand putting a restriction on people but with today's technology that is not an actual restriction that is just a change of mode I mean look at us. Pastor Newms: [25:42] Yeah we changed. Pastor Bill: [25:43] Right here we changed modes, um the church State shouldn't be putting limits on the church within reason of ministry now the state can go no no no no you're not going to come in and bite a bunch of people with snakes, that's an actual health hazard we're going to have to cool a Bosch that the state can do that okay I get that, but at the same time Christians shouldn't be trying to legislate morality. [26:19] Or not even morality but try to take, um historical precedence from our religious beliefs and say will it's always been like this so it's the law should be like this. That's not how that works the state should serve the people as a secular institution and the church Serve the People, as a church, can they coexist and even work together one help the other get his job done and one help the other get their job done absolutely that that would be brilliant that would be beautiful, but for people to go in and say we need to overturn Roe versus Wade. [27:15] You're killing babies and my faith tells me we shouldn't be killing babies okay, you're allowed to feel, that your faith instructs you that all life is precious and that life begins at a certain point you're allowed to feel that. Okay you're not allowed to pass a law. That then tells other people they have to feel the way your faith tells you to feel, they don't have that faith not all of them and the ones that do have that Faith perhaps they've grasp a hold of First Corinthians chapter 13 and realize that there is faith, there is hope but greater than those more important than those is love. And if we're not loving others first and foremost. Then we're doing a dish Justice to our faith and were stealing. [28:29] Okay so for you to stand outside of an abortion clinic and yell you're killing babies. And you're going to go to hell that is not love, for you to stand outside of an abortion clinic and say do you need a ride home after do you need someone who can talk to you before and after if you choose to go in. [28:57] I'm here for you I'll take you to a meal let's let's work through this that's love right. But if you want to get rid of something like abortion that you see as a violation of your faith. Then you have to figure out how to do that long before. They're at an abortion clinic long before they become pregnant and long before they're even in a relationship. Right, we have to destigmatize sex for one because right now the way we the church handle sex is with a veil, we stigmatize it we mystify it we hide it and so young people come up under this this Veil and they go oh well I have to hide that I can't let you know, that I'm feeling that way I can't let you know that I'm doing that thing, and then they're having unprotected sex they're having dangerous sex they're having sex that leads them to pregnancy long before they're ready, and then chain kicks in and what are their options. [30:24] What are they supposed to do, are they supposed to come to you in that shame and fear and talk about this thing that that's this consequence of this thing that's happened they couldn't even talk about the act of, before because we created a lifestyle of Shame surrounding sex okay, we have to demystify that to we have to teach about and make available contraceptives all your give them permission to send your given permission sin I am not I'm not, I'm giving them a safety net because sex happens, I taught my son I've taught my kids I can tell you the right way to do something over and over and over and over and over and over but until you're in the situation you can't know how you're going to respond. Period. Pastor Newms: [31:22] And it always fails talk to you. Pastor Bill: [31:24] And if all else fails go talk to him. Pastor Newms: [31:26] Shit. Pastor Bill: [31:30] We have to get rid of shame we have to demystify we have to make available contraceptions and teach about safe sex. Okay we have to teach you about this where to teach you about how it happens, why it happens what you can do to prevent it because it's not enough to say you can't get an abortion you have to bla bla bla we have to teach people how to prevent that from happening on both sides, young ladies need to know, what is going to happen to their body in this process and young men need to know if you do the deed you're responsible. [32:16] The mama as far as I'm concerned for my son if he gets a girl pregnant and she chooses to get an abortion I don't hold her accountable for that I hold him accountable for that life. He is accountable for the baby that just got taken to an abortion clinic. It's not on her it's on him now her parents can go deal with what's on her that's fine. But as far as I'm concerned he has a responsibility that he just threw away, and got a girl pregnant instead of doing the right thing taking the right steps choosing protection choosing situations that were better before he got into the heated. Right there's too much in our culture of well that's not the man's responsibility that's the ladies responsibility, and I grew up no lie I grew up seeing on TV and I can't believe I'm about to say this, one good thing that ever came out of my step dad's mouth, if you get a girl pregnant it's your responsibility to drive her up to that clinic and you have to pay for any procedure so you think about that before you get involved in a sexual relationship. [33:46] And so that stuck with me. I was responsible if I got a girl pregnant that was my fault I did that it didn't happen to her I did that to her. And I see a lot of that not being taught we don't teach young men by and large that they are responsible for their actions and they have to take responsibility for those actions. Pastor Newms: [34:12] Sadly we do the opposite sadly we demonize women for oh well you know how were you dressed how were you it's not a woman no no no it's a man's fault, when. Pastor Bill: [34:27] And now we're now we're we're preaching on the rape issue. So often a woman will report rape and the questions that come out of the police that's been documented over and over and over again is what were you wearing where were you walking where you junk how were you / trying yourself, that is not relevant in any way shape or form to catching the dirtbag, who forced himself on to this young lady and getting Justice for that young lady and if that young lady who's been raped, wants to get an abortion because that trauma is too deep and too rough and too vile for her to deal with I can't blame her for that, period she need any girl that's been raped whether it was pregnancy or not needs counseling, possibly a psychiatrist a psychologist a counselor and I'm not talking about okay first off that's not me I'm not a licensed counselor I have the title pastor, Pastor newms has the title pounced Pastor neither one of us are licensed counselors that's not what I'm talking about, I can I can give you a hug and I can love on you and I can treat you like one of my daughters. [35:55] But I am not licensed to help you deal with that trauma and there are a lot of pastors out here that have the right heart and the right intent and they want to love you and they want to help you but they're not qualified, paid to be dealing with those situations there are pastors out here that want to help with marriage counseling but aren't qualified to be a marriage counselor they're not license they're not they haven't trained they haven't gone through what needs to happen, um and then you've got the problem of incest, I don't even want to touch that one because that's so deep and dark and twisted and and confusing that I don't even begin to understand that situation. And so I'm going to leave that to someone else my main point here is. [37:02] We are different people all inside the one person right we've got our secular selves, and then we've got our faith-based selves we've got our hope base elves and we've got our love bass selves, our secular cells myself I'm States right person writes person I don't believe the government should be making laws, that limit a state's ability to govern, I don't believe the Supreme Court should be making decisions that limit a state's ability to make those decisions I believe the decision should be left up to the state, and mainly I believe that because states are run on a more democratic level closer to the people, and are easily more easily able to represent the actual people than the federal government that's why I hold that view. I also believe that the amendments to the Constitution, and the Supreme Court should and do exercise their rights to withhold power from governments to protect people, in this case Roe versus Wade and Casey versus, forgive me I can't remember who the other party in that case was but Rowan Casey passed in the Supreme Court because of privacy right. [38:31] That's why they were passed because the federal government the state government the city government the County Government, has no business sticking their head into your doctor's office and saying you can't get that kind of Medical Care. [38:53] That was the understanding was that everyone had access to a doctor everyone was seeking a doctor's opinion. We don't live in that world quite in that world anymore and most people didn't then not everyone has a doctor overseeing our medical care and we're left, to make medical decisions for ourselves that we're not trained to make which is another point, we should be training our children in sex ed, and by children I mean sixth grade seventh grade eighth grade I don't mean fifth grade and Below although in some states, in some counties there are fifth grade and below that are already having sex and getting pregnant so in some instances in those counties yes they should have sex ed earlier, but we should be training sex ed because they need to know if I stick this there this will happen. [39:57] They need to be trained about that they need to be trained in all these medical issues will what happens if I go get an abortion what's going to happen to me what's the other going to be in Revit ramifications of that had there been long-term effects of that because, yes there have been lots and lots and lots and lots of women that have been negatively impacted, by their abortion procedure not all but lots, and they needed counseling they needed to talk to someone and that kind of care just isn't provided because we're not taught to need it and, we put shame on people that find themselves in situations where they need help. [40:44] And that's the opposite of what we should be doing especially the church especially Christians shame shouldn't be part of the conversation for us, that should never be part you should never feel shame going to your pastor going to your church, and that's not the culture that by and large we you know created as, a church as you know a whole all of us together all right so there's that there's the circular you then there's the faith you that says, life is precious God knew us before he formed us in our mother's womb he has thoughts and plans for his thoughts of to prosperous thoughts of a future and a hope, Jesus loved us so much that he came and died for us yes your faith should inform you of all of those things. Your faith should also inform you that the mother are the young lady who's being faced with this crisis in her life, got also new and knows and loves and cares for, and how would God as a father respond to that young lady. [41:56] When she finds out how would the most perfect being in the universe respond if their child I messed up I got pregnant. [42:07] Okay there's the hope you hope says everything's going to work out. [42:14] How is everything going to work out if we're leaving people Stranded by the wayside. In their hour of need or we're not preparing for it we're not supporting them through it we're not walking with them through it how is Hope served in that. [42:31] And then there's the love which we've harped on a lot in this you know context there's the love. Love does not envy love does not boast love does not build itself up, it believes all things you know this is love love I had this example of this young lady, but wasn't it hung lady but I was driving Uber Kimber fear was an Uber or Lyft ride but I was driving and this woman was in the car and she was telling me that at one point in her life she was homeless. And she was homeless because she chose to be homeless she was out with her boyfriend her boyfriend was homeless she was on drugs and she was living on the side of the road over by Lancaster in Fort Worth. And there were living there because they could get free drugs there and, every day from the day she left home to go live with her boyfriend and saw the road every day her mother brought her a warm dinner and fresh blankets. [43:45] I told her she loved her spent time with her and her boyfriend there on the side of the road where they lived, and at the end of that she would go back home and say you're welcome home anytime she did that for three months straight every day before this girl realized, my mama actually loves me and I'm throwing my life away. Told her boyfriend they need to get clean he broke up with her she moved back into her home she found salvation and she started going to church she got involved in Ministry but it was that love, that her mother was bringing her everyday, our culture says if your kid messes up and chooses drugs and moves out and go lives on the side road with their boyfriend then you need to exercise tough love and let them learn their lesson, that's not love love brings a hot meal and a blanket fresh blanket every night. [44:49] And while you're working through your stuff love says I'm right here when you're ready I'm right here I'm not going anywhere I love you. And that's the kind of love that God has for us sent his son to die. Cuz we were born into a nature of enmity with God, Adam and Eve. Chose enmity with God they chose a sin nature we were born into something as slaves as victims and God is sitting there going, whenever you're ready to stop being a Slave to turn away from the things that are hurting you I'm here. I'm ready. And God has also said now I want you to know that if you don't turn away from those things that are hurting you the path you're on is going to lead you there. [46:06] Is a place called hell in your word Hell Fire Brimstone gnashing of teeth I don't want that for you. I don't want you to go there and I'm patiently waiting for you to decide that you don't want to go there either. And you don't want to continue to be hurt in your life and you don't want to continue to you know and life doesn't get perfect because life is still life. But you spiritually have a hope and life is different when you have hope you sis. [46:46] And so that's my thoughts on this episode that isn't about row. Because it's not about Roe it's not about Casey it's not about Johnny Depp versus Amber Heard it's not about any of those things it's about are we as Christians. Loving. Those around us and living our life and portraying love and how we see and respond to those things. Because you may feel like it's a victory for Roe versus Wade to be overturned you may feel like that's a victory but your victory. Maybe someone else's crisis gone into chaos. [47:50] And you may Jigger Victory may just be the straw that pushes them over the edge to do something drastic. Something awful something they may not survive. That's unacceptable everything to add that Pastor newms. Pastor Newms: [48:35] We as Christians have to respond in love to all things and often we don't. Pastor Bill: [48:53] This podcast comes out every Wednesday night at 7 p.m. Central Standard Time wherever you get podcasts we also record this live on Sunday evenings at 6:30 p.m. Central Standard Time, and you can catch and be a part of it on Twitch Facebook or YouTube, you can go to our website at www.kttape.com house to figure out which twitch which Facebook and which YouTube those are, you can also see our backlog of all 377 episodes that came before this one it's actually more than that it's 380.

Pastor Newms: [8:11] I mean realistically, I would like to die quick pain painless when I'm asleep like you know just out is what I'm going to say for our podcast that goes out to everyone, yeah that's what I'm going to say for our podcast church night. Pastor Bill: [8:49] I don't care how I just get it over with. Pastor Newms: [8:52] I do I will I will say quickly in both ways, both on the timescale and in as it's happening I've always had a very much a, Paul belief of die is gain, if I have to be here it's just because of, no no I would not want to die in a battle axe dual because my fear would be one, you probably die slowly bleeding. Pastor Bill: [9:30] So that came from bat-brains on YouTube the battle ax dual suggestion that newms is responding to. Pastor Newms: [9:39] I couldn't it's always like to kill someone it's not how I would like to die it'd be very painful slowly getting hacked up it would be epic yes.

Pastor Newms: [14:00] It's going to be me wow all right so straight into the topic here we go because we are done getting to know each other not tonight. Pastor Bill: [14:10] All right so we're still in Acts I had a little bit of a moment this week where I thought we were going to be in first Timothy but then after about an hour of study I realized, it was an intrusive thought or something I don't know what it was but it wasn't the topic for tonight. Pastor Newms: [14:29] Maybe it was just something to get your mind working for a later topic. Pastor Bill: [14:33] Maybe it's weird though because it was the one about physical exercise and I don't really do that already so yeah Total Physical. Pastor Newms: [14:41] Not doing it. Pastor Bill: [14:42] Profiteth little, it was about you know you shouldn't be wasting your time on honing the gains because it profiteth little, I said that right is up the way bodybuilders talk the gains all right. Pastor Newms: [15:04] It depends on your need for gains and why you're getting gains whether it would profit little or not if that your only thing is to look sexy yeah probably. Pastor Bill: [15:13] Almost everything you just said went over my head so. Pastor Newms: [15:17] Okay it's been that kind of week two. Pastor Bill: [15:22] We're in Acts chapter 2 and we're going to be looking at verses 42 through 47 so let's start there, they have a whoo, they that early church because in the verse before this he talked about that day about three thousand people were added to them to the Believers, they devoted themselves to the apostles teaching to the fellowship to the breaking of bread and to prayer. [15:57] Everyone is filled with awe and Many Wonders and signs were being performed through the apostles, now all the Believers were together and held all things in common they sold their possessions and property and distributed, the proceeds all as any had need every day they devoted themselves to meeting together in the temple and broke bread from house to house they ate their food with joyful and sincere hearts, praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people every Lord added to their number those who were being saved, and once again we have to keep in mind that those that are being added to their number are solely Jews at this, they this none of these are Gentiles none of these are non, descendants of Israel there these are all Jews because they didn't believe that salvation in the Holy Spirit, were for the Gentiles yet they believed it was still only for the Jews and that salvation wasn't for the Gentiles, which is kind of a. [17:13] I don't know it's kind of a rough rough thing to consolidate in your head that they're like yeah we need to save as many Jews as possible so that, in the resurrection, they'll be found worthy of Eternity with God and everyone else is going to go to the pits of Tartarus and and live in torment and because for all eternity because it's not for them it's just for us, the worldview man The worldview Who. Pastor Newms: [17:44] It's definitely an interesting world view yes, and I think it's one of those where it's like okay and that's why I think when the Revelation was given later that it was for everyone it was very much like a oh my gosh, oh crud why didn't I think about that you know I oh we should have known that like that that should have been obvious. Pastor Bill: [18:15] Cuz you could you could convert him to come and you, and so then I guess technically you would qualify for what the disciples and the apostles thought about salvation. Pastor Newms: [18:32] Technically. Pastor Bill: [18:34] Technically. Pastor Newms: [18:36] It would be a definitely a very interesting thought process definitely the, one of the things I always find to be interesting with situations like that is is is those moments where, I come to Jesus moment where it's like, oh oh I was so wrong oh crud I've been wrong for years and years oh crud I don't know what I'm doing now you know and, having that aspect is it would definitely be sombering to say the least because it's like oh no, you got it you got it you got to worry about you gotta wonder I mean how, worried Peter and and Paul and just everybody was at that moment going, oh no we've missed out for a little while now like this wasn't like two or three days. Pastor Bill: [19:39] I just think it's funny to put myself in their in their shoes, Peter has this Revelation from God that salvation is for everyone later in Acts and we'll know we'll get there eventually, and he comes back and he's like hey did you guys realize this was for everyone and their response it doesn't record it quite like this but their response is we're so glad James took over for you as the leader of the church, man that could not have happened soon enough you are crazy bro that is some next-level crazy. Pastor Newms: [20:17] And then it's like oh wait crowd he's right. Pastor Bill: [20:18] And then it's slowly they're like oh that actually makes sense hey James did you know this and James is probably like, yeah I was with Jesus Peter you were with Jesus too how come you didn't understand I'm Peter. Pastor Newms: [20:36] I'm Peter. Pastor Bill: [20:38] You want to know how to knit a net I can tell you that you want to know how to catch fish I can tell you that. Pastor Newms: [20:43] I'm really good at cutting off ears. Pastor Bill: [20:45] I got some sword skills but man. Pastor Newms: [20:49] Clean cut clean cut. Pastor Bill: [20:50] This theology stuff I'm still getting there man. Pastor Newms: [20:53] It definitely, it's one of those where and we've talked about this before it truly shows the, fact that as Christians as people as humans we are allowed to grow, there are times when we're wrong there are times when we're right there are times when we're right but wrong, like when you when you got the right thing but you got it at the wrong time or the wrong situation or the wrong person you know there are you know, it's interesting when you look at things like that because it's like oh snot. Pastor Bill: [21:38] And then it's definitely one of those major themes of the book of Acts that they grew and they learned and they changed I mean heck Paul goes from going by Saul and, literally holding people's coats so they can throw stones at a stoning to killing Christians himself to becoming a Christian, and asking people to call him by his Jewish name instead of his Roman name Paul and says salt. Pastor Newms: [22:13] Oh you started fading out. Pastor Bill: [22:17] Um that's that's some major growth. Pastor Newms: [22:22] So Pastor Bill is trying to say something but we're not sure what that is and he's Frozen with a great look on his face. Pastor Bill: [22:28] I said that's a major growth Arc right there. Pastor Newms: [22:32] Yeah we got going so it was going from holding coats to killing himself too, robot robot robot robot robot silence Frozen robot robot what I said was so. Pastor Bill: [22:50] Becoming a Christian and going by his Jewish name instead of his Roman name Paul instead of salt, that's a major growth Arc. Pastor Newms: [23:07] And and the church themselves it's interesting to see often, you know where it started where it's at it appears the big two bigs took a screenshot of it I didn't this time. Pastor Bill: [23:24] You guys and your screenshots. Pastor Newms: [23:28] Only when you're that Frozen because it's just fun, it's interesting to see some of the, changes, as the church grew and as people, we're given Revelations and were learning things and more you know it's interesting to see, that growth and then it's interesting to see what didn't change you know some things didn't, and the understanding of certain things as the books are written in as you know when you look at, the gospels and then you look at the early church and then you look at the early church but slightly later they're definitely different themes and. Pastor Bill: [24:24] As far as the church is concerned I mean hear their meeting everyday, it going to the temple to have a meals together and they do this is a daily thing that they're doing and then later you know Paul gets saved, Paul Works serves in the church for 18 years before he think of that in the ministry on his own and then we see in his writings he start to referencing things that the church wasn't doing before like meeting on the first day of the week, to have a service and not so much meaning everyday anymore they're doing their normal lives every day they're just getting together on the first day of the week, and you know doing Ministry to each other the first day of the week instead of being together everyday, so it's interesting that within that first two decades or so, they went from we're all in we're kind of share everything we have and everything belongs to everybody and we're going to sell all we have and and you know be one body and then within two years within 20 years, um they more resembled just the weekly Church like we have now, and that's just really really interesting I don't even want to call that growth I want to call that, complacency Maybe. Pastor Newms: [25:52] I want to call it. Pastor Bill: [25:54] Because while they were being hunted they were so meaning every day and then once Christianity became mainstream they dropped it to start it only meeting once a week. Pastor Newms: [26:06] I think it's also just the aspect of. [26:14] Lifestyles and making disciples and bringing people in, there is a time of well now what. Pastor Bill: [26:34] It almost gets that pyramid scheme. Pastor Newms: [26:36] Yeah. Pastor Bill: [26:37] Vibe of unsustainability you know, like we came in we saw everything we had now I have nothing left to contribute or meeting every day I'm not making an income to contribute we're all literally just living off of the incomes of the new people that come in when they then sell everything they have, okay. Pastor Newms: [26:56] And so it's definitely it's definitely at a certain point where you go okay we have to you know, there are some people who should be spending all of their time studying and I and you know that's when you start to get the church hierarchies that's when you start to get the you know all of those aspects. Pastor Bill: [27:22] And they did two at the beginning they had that whole everything is everybody, point of view if we look at Acts chapter 4 starting in verse 32 now the entire group of those who believed were one heart and mind and no one claimed that any of his possessions was his own, but instead they held everything in common, with great power the apostles were giving testimony to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus and great grace was on all of them, for there was not a needy person among them because all those who own lands or houses sold them brought the proceeds of what was sold and laid them at the apostles feet, this was then distributed to each person as any had need Joseph A levite from Cyprus by birth the one the apostles called Barnabas this is the guy that later than goes, Paul, to some Ministry which is translated son of encouragement sold a field he owned brought the money and laid it at the apostles feet, and that was a common thing for them to do but yeah completely unsustainable. Pastor Newms: [28:37] Cuz you get to a point where all right where are we living. Pastor Bill: [28:49] I mean understand we can we can make a farm we can you know maybe so. Pastor Newms: [28:54] Not if we sold all the. Pastor Bill: [28:55] From the farm but where are we going to get the land we yeah we sold the land. Pastor Newms: [28:59] Yeah we sold all our land we sold all our. Pastor Bill: [29:01] Yeah so like. Pastor Newms: [29:03] It does get to a point where you're like. Pastor Bill: [29:06] So this whole argument where people like we you know the first church was they were socialists they were communists. Pastor Newms: [29:12] Well now. [29:19] I will say though they continued in taking care of the weak and the sick and the Widow you know that part wasn't and we as the modern Church, you know some churches are getting back to it, we clear a lot of churches are doing really good work but there for a long time the church as a whole, that went straight to the Wayside. Pastor Bill: [29:49] But even here in the early church when they realized it wasn't sustainable, and yeah nobody had any meat that's great but it was completely unsustainable even then while James is still on the scene right because we've talked about the higher art the leadership of the church, Peter James then Paul before Paul took over while James is still a myth you know leading the church, he boils it down and says you know what we're to take care of Orphans and widows, that's it everybody else is on your own go figure it out. Pastor Newms: [30:24] And it's because you know it's sustainability you know if everyone sells their property where we sleeping everyone hanging out at the apostles house are they did they sell theirs if everyone. Pastor Bill: [30:36] Well they did have by the time Paul was converted they were all on the run which nobody owned anything so they could be on the Run, um so you know the Holy Spirit worked it out in their favor in that manner but they basically lived in these giant tent settlements they would set up these tents that could all just be broken down thrown on their back and moved at a moment's notice, and they taught started teaching everyone how to make. [31:11] And they would make the tents and they would sell the tents and so it kind of you know they started learning a trade, and this is where you hear about Paul being a tentmaker and the whole Tent Maker anointing and all you're going to be a Ministry you got to be a tentmaker you meaning you can't be full-time Ministry you have to have a job to to support, being in Ministry you got you're going to be a 10 maker you got to you got to be making an income, which again you don't want to be a burden on Believers and at the same time, some people are called to full-time Ministry and they are due pay, it's a thing now are they do millions of dollars pay year, probably not I say probably because that's really none of my business that's between them and God probably not are they do hundreds of thousands a year maybe depending on the size of the church, you know what workers worth is wage and so they just have to fill that out with you know between them and their board and and with the Lord and figure out you know, yeah is a tentmaker type thing is this a is this the thing where the church can pay you and so yeah. [32:37] I try to be nobody wants to buy my chance well very few people want to buy my tents so but that's neither here nor there, which people wanted to buy my tents I'm a committed tentmaker. Pastor Newms: [32:59] You do work hard when there's work. Pastor Bill: [33:00] When there's work to be done oh man I don't, I don't get it why so I have such a hard time getting hired Greg he says he'll buy a tent thank you groggy I appreciate it but I don't think you can afford my tents anyway no junk. Pastor Newms: [33:27] You know I was. Pastor Bill: [33:28] I don't literally make tents let's let's just put that out there not a. Pastor Newms: [33:34] Tent from you if you were making a tense in actuality I'm clear on that I support you and so many you know best friend ways I'm buying a tent, trust I might from from your from from from Bad Brains like nice crocheted. Pastor Bill: [33:52] Crocheted take you know that wouldn't keep anything out weather-wise I mean you be warm you definitely be warm in there but if it started raining. Pastor Newms: [34:01] Now that's for the inside of the regular 10. Pastor Bill: [34:06] I'll just make a crochet 10 that go on the inside of the tent as if tents aren't hot enough already. Pastor Newms: [34:12] And then and then you put one on the outside to be pretty. Pastor Bill: [34:15] Oh my goodness. Pastor Newms: [34:16] Yeah igloo. Pastor Bill: [34:20] How many thousands of dollars that would cost to crochet. Pastor Newms: [34:22] I will I will let bat-brains do that math for me and tell me at some point when she wants to but. Pastor Bill: [34:34] So many schemes of yarn so many. Pastor Newms: [34:37] So many the I had something it was good. Pastor Bill: [34:50] You were going to say something. Pastor Newms: [34:52] But it's definitely like a situation like the Ecclesia house you know we don't have any paid staff currently. Pastor Bill: [35:02] All right well while you're trying to remember what you were going to say oh wait I guess I'm frozen. Pastor Newms: [35:05] I remember are you frozen again oh he's Frozen again he doesn't exist he can't hear my good idea. Pastor Bill: [35:13] He's trying to figure out what he was going to say but while he's Frozen. Pastor Newms: [35:15] A good one and he doesn't just. Pastor Bill: [35:16] Um here on the podcast you should go read Acts chapter 5 about what happens when, you lie to the Holy Spirit and then. Pastor Newms: [35:29] He's almost back he's robot. Pastor Bill: [35:31] For it so. Pastor Newms: [35:33] He's almost back. Pastor Bill: [35:35] Am I back on the line. Pastor Newms: [35:37] He's almost back. Pastor Bill: [35:38] No I'm not back on the live at all I just lost. Pastor Newms: [35:40] Maybe nope he's still gone sadly. Pastor Bill: [35:44] Should go read acts 5 about and a nice and Sapphira they sold a piece of land and then they keep back a portion of it and. Pastor Newms: [35:57] Can y'all hear him and just I can't hear him. Pastor Bill: [35:59] To give that portion I am back on the line I was just telling the podcast about, go ahead and read an X5 to follow up with what we're talking about tonight about selling all you have and giving and ananias and Sapphira you know making a sale, and yeah and then lying about it. Pastor Newms: [36:21] Yeah not a good idea. Pastor Bill: [36:21] My restream chat and give just completely. Pastor Newms: [36:26] What you're having some internet hiccups you're definitely having some internet issues at the moment, one thing I was thinking and this was just something that I came to me when I was in conversation with I don't remember whom today I talked to a lot of people today, we need to after the event we need to put up some of the shirts and stuff for people to buy. Pastor Bill: [37:02] Yes. Pastor Newms: [37:04] That needs to be I know you have a personal store but we should set up a, either a church store or it goes to your personal I don't know how that any of that stuff kind of works I don't do any type of Commerce but now I was talking to two bigs about it at lunch. [37:31] Yeah. Pastor Bill: [37:34] And this is everyone's least favorite design of everyone that I pulled that's why I started with this one tonight you know start with the least favorite and get onto the favorites after that. Pastor Newms: [37:47] I'm going to be honest I didn't like it looking at it, in Black in camera it's not as bad as just the design. Pastor Bill: [38:03] Yeah. Pastor Newms: [38:14] But. [38:18] I think that it's actually not as bad as I thought it was. Pastor Bill: [38:26] As I'm a good bottle. Pastor Newms: [38:27] Biggs that's that's exactly what it is good job. Pastor Bill: [38:30] It's how big the canvas is that I create to show off the it's the wide canvas aspect. Pastor Newms: [38:40] What is just a small picture it's not any good but on a full-size canvas it's. Pastor Bill: [38:45] Full size canvas like my chest, right so this week go read chapter 5 of X find out about ananias and Sapphira, and then I sells the they sell the property and then and then he brings the money but he lies to the Holy Spirit and it's not about, when you read it it's not about, whether or not they gave one hundred percent of the sale price it's about the fact that they said yes it's 100% And then it actually wasn't. Pastor Newms: [39:23] Yeah it's that aspect of of you know. Pastor Bill: [39:29] Wow. Pastor Newms: [39:30] Even what. Pastor Bill: [39:31] She brought me a picture of a okay okay that's very hippie is it crochet tent. Pastor Newms: [39:39] Oof. Pastor Bill: [39:39] And a crocheted glamper. [39:47] I just put the flash does images up onto the the livestream so if you're listening on the podcast and you want to see the crocheted tent you will have to go to Facebook twitch or YouTube and scroll forward to about, 47 minutes in to see the, crocheted glamper and the crochets tent image. Pastor Newms: [40:11] Yeah it is it's busy and they definitely used whatever they had laying around. Pastor Bill: [40:18] What they did is they made smaller pieces and then put them together so. Pastor Newms: [40:25] I mean obviously. Pastor Bill: [40:27] Yeah they didn't just crochet one giant piece no that would be insane. Pastor Newms: [40:34] But you would think if you were going to do that yes bat-brains it was so ugly, if you were going to do that you would do patterns that complemented each other, those particular ones looked like what you would see at a festival where there are wild. Pastor Bill: [40:51] Poor people are doing LSD yeah. Pastor Newms: [40:53] Growing you know that's I think that's the only way you could enjoy that. Pastor Bill: [40:58] Welcome to Woodstock back there we've got the crochet 10th that's where you're going to get your vegetables, hey vegetables and then over next to that there's the crocheted glamper you're gonna go over there and get some grass like grass I mean we'd, and by the way I you know what I mean.

[47:06] Anyway that's why we encourage people to come Live While We're recording the podcast and be a part of what's going on so there's that all right you have anything you want to add to the topic for tonight. Pastor Newms: [47:19] No Pastor Bill: [47:22] You were pretty chatty about this topic more chatty than I expected you to be. Pastor Newms: [47:26] I mean it's valid since we're doing throwbacks. Pastor Bill: [47:29] You said it's valid. Pastor Newms: [47:33] You know it's one of those things where it's important to look at, everything like we always talked about you know don't take the two verses you want to look at, out of contacts don't take you know it's that whole like you hear some people talk about the, innocence fire that's why you can't lie to preachers you're like no that's, that's not what God's not going to strike you down for fibbing God's Gonna strike strike you down, to make a point because you lied to the Holy Spirit multiple times to make yourself look better, not oops I made a boo-boo I said you know I said the wrong thing I did the wrong thing you know it was blatant we're going to do this and we know what we're doing and we know it's wrong but, we're going to do it and make ourselves still look. Pastor Bill: [48:45] Nobody's going to know they'll never know you know that whole audio Tick Tock nobody'll ever know they'll never know they knew, they knew when you said it and drop down dead in there. Pastor Newms: [49:04] Well and let's be honest, if everyone in an area are selling their properties and and giving to the church and those types of things right, it's pretty obvious what properties are worth and so when it's like here's everything we have you guys weren't this poor. Pastor Bill: [49:33] You either got ripped off or you lying right. Pastor Newms: [49:50] Yeah, we do we do sometimes still have the fellowship in the living room at the same time because when groggy is here it's it's zadie groggy in Phoenix and sometimes the girls all in the same room but it would be, nice to I do agree with Sadie that I do miss everyone's face every week. [50:20] I just realized why, I don't like the design it just came to me it's not equal. [50:37] That's why you moved a certain way and I went oh yeah that. [50:48] I just. Pastor Bill: [50:48] If you say so. Pastor Newms: [50:50] My OCD doesn't like the fact that there's not an equal number of a Sands because of the word loved. [51:03] Which is fine because of everything it you know, but that's that's the reason because the shirt crinkled and I went oh. Pastor Bill: [51:14] It's fully known and and and and and and and fully loved. Pastor Newms: [51:18] No that's just how many times we have to keep saying it for people to believe it sometimes. Pastor Bill: [51:24] Seven times if you hear something 7 times before sinks in. Pastor Newms: [51:28] Yeah but no for the known in Philadelphia but no fully known it but no full enough. Pastor Bill: [51:37] Then we get the all you mean fully known and still full no no no no don't add words to what I'm saying that's not what the scripture says this is fully known and there is no, still there is a there are yet stills, in the Jewish scriptures in the early New Testament where it says Point Blank we hated God, yet still but it never says you were a sinner and even still no it was you chose sin and still, hmm the message is God knows you fully and God loves you fully, we're not having a conversation about whether or not you're perfect because if you've been listening to breed Manifesto, we believe everyone should be trying to grow and better themselves and no one is perfect period, not as an insult not as a slight not as a try to get out of something trying to get out of saying something no we're not doing that we literally believe everyone should be moving forward everyone should be growing and changing and getting better, Anyway come and join us at Dallas Pride. Pastor Newms: [53:02] Yeah. Pastor Bill: [53:02] On June 4th what was that face you just made. Pastor Newms: [53:09] My my my computer did something I didn't want it to and I don't know why but it. Intro And Outro Music Pastor Newms: [53:22] It just kind of sideways itself. Pastor Bill: [53:30] All right well that's all we have for tonight I love you have a great week. Pastor Newms: [53:37] Be safe out there. Pastor Bill: [53:38] And until next time.

S3EP45 - Spirit, Soul, and Body?

Pastor Bill: [0:00] Hello and welcome to Season 3 Episode 45 of the Berean Manifesto; Faith, Hope, and Love for the Modern Christian. We are going to do a cold open here before we do all the normal stuff just to let you know what's going on tonight. So tonight we are talking about, and I put the title for the you know Social Media stuff as Spirit, Soul, and Body question mark. And we're going to look into some scriptures that talk about spirit, soul, and body we're going to talk about how some people interchange the terms spirit and soul and we're going to try to pull in some of the original language to try to give some clarification to what is your spirit, and what is your soul and what is obviously your body you know that one. Just like most things we're not here to tell you what to think and we're not here to give you a definite answer we're here to broach the topic and give you from our educated point of views what we know what we've seen what we've heard and then it's your responsibility as a true Berean to go into the scriptures and study it out for yourself and pray about it and decide between you and God, do you have a preference on these terms and these ideas - does it even matter? Because from where I'm sitting it's not a Salvation issue to understand spirit, soul, and body it's just one of those things that empowers you to have a better understanding of your faith which then gives you a confidence that you then when you go to share the hope that you have, you have a better confidence for friendship evangelism and spreading the gospel and and all of those things so that's why we we birch topics like this - not because we have the answers, but because we want to help you build your confidence. What's up pastor Newms? Pastor Newms: [2:16] I can hear you but it's very staticky, but only when you speak oh not quite to the point of robotiness but close to robotiness. Pastor Bill: [2:34] Okay and it's not really anything I could do about that. Pastor Newms: [2:40] Yeah I just I know your internet's been a little. Pastor Bill: [2:44] A little Sunday? Pastor Newms: [2:46] For some reason every Sunday somewhere around 3 p.m. his internet goes sideways. Pastor Bill: [2:56] Wonky. Pastor Newms: [2:57] It stays that way till about 10:30 normally. So there's something the internet like something that they do with his little beam of light. Pastor Bill: [3:09] Well you know what? It's not just the home internet, it's cell signals as well. It's cell signals, its internet, it's everything - gets wonky between those hours in this area and so I don't know. Pastor Newms: I blame aliens. Pastor Bill: I was going to blame military but aliens are fine too. Pastor Newms: There's not even any military installations in Decatur. Pastor Bill: That's not exactly true, but we won't talk about any more details on the open air. So all right, so how has your week been Pastor Newms? Pastor Newms: [3:57] Busy. Started the new job this week, wrapped up the old this week. Which does not feel like it's just been this week because it's been a little bit of Breakneck speed and. So that was that was a really good really good week tried to go back and play another game that I haven't played in, exactly a year when we launched the game the save file I launched the game yesterday in this the last say was like nine I want to say 9, when you know it was 9/18 and so it was like oh that's odd that I'm going back exactly a year so that was fun. But overall everything's been pretty good this week just those aspects we did have. We did go to Nashville Pride yesterday but it was interesting. Pastor Bill: [5:15] For just one. Pastor Newms: [5:19] Started pouring the rain and when it right like right before it was supposed to start so they moved the start time, and then it was a little bit of a muddy mess so my my shoes are actually still in the garage, and I made the comment to someone there from another church and I was like you know this happens to us every year when we go to the Dallas Pride because I didn't have it this year but every other year it's gotten rained out at some pointed ends up having to close early the Saturday portion he goes that's never happened to us and I went oh, that must mean it's my fault, and he looked at me like I don't I wasn't saying that and I was like no I am so that was interesting had a couple of good conversations but nothing, phenomenal but handed out a bunch of responding to love God's loves cards and, went from there so it was good why do you have such a perplexed look on your face Billiam. Pastor Bill: [6:32] My wife's just came in the room with a can of liquid death. Pastor Newms: [6:44] Oh where did she get you that? They've got some very interesting so you got to go over. Pastor Bill: [6:57] Mountain Water. Pastor Newms: [7:00] Yep there mhm. Pastor Bill: [7:11] And it's yeah it's this great and they have an amazing marketing team that the the marketer in me just like admires the heck out of man I just, they're so awesome. Pastor Newms: [7:26] I love the everyone treats water like it's it's it's nice water kills this many people every year these are all the ways water can and will kill you so we, put it in a can and said so and you're like whoa whoa. Pastor Bill: [7:42] The one with the woman and she's pouring it out and you're like uh another thirst trap commercial because she's you know you know, makeup'd up and looks you know and then the camera zooms out and she's actually using it to waterboard somebody and you're like oh my gosh. Pastor Newms: [8:02] That one was an interesting one I will agree. Pastor Bill: [8:08] BatBrains said she got some for the whole family we all got one here so that's that's all I don't know if I should drink it or just leave it closed in honor of how awesome it is. Pastor Newms: [8:20] So here's what you do. Pastor Bill: [8:22] It's just water right? Pastor Newms: [8:24] Now I can answer this you take a push pin okay and you push pin the bottom of it right, and then you drain it into a cup from the bottom and then you put it on a shelf you can also use a very small finishing nail if you choose to if you don't have like a push pin laying around that is how you store, like you know like when Pepsi releases the big PepsiCo. Like what they did for Star Wars where all the cans had different or all the sports teams are other if you store those, that's just water so it might not actually do this but if you store one of those over extended amount of time the camera actually crush at a certain point because the carbonation and everything it'll actually ring and, so what you have to do is you do that to then drain it so that way then you can actually store it and show it off but Biggs taught me that. Pastor Bill: [9:37] Okay all right okay so that was that was your week. Pastor Newms: [9:46] Yeah how was your week Pastor Bill. Pastor Bill: [9:48] Which you know we made new responding to God's love cards for you guys to take to Pride because we left all the pride supplies here, right and then you got those on Thursday right we printed new ones. I ordered them on Saturday they printed finished printing on Tuesday and then you got them on Thursday was perfect timing was great so my week's been good we're so you know ramping up to Halloween season which starts on October first and I got this awesome, sloths wearing Halloween costumes plush throw. That is super awesome I saw it and I was like oh my gosh it's the fantasy I never knew that I had I have to have that Amazing Blanket sloths in Halloween costumes, so we had that and then they had some light up cups at Walmart so our family went up and we each get to choose a design, of the light of crap that we wanted for those of you who are listening to the podcast and not can't see the images here I gotta, I chose a pink cup, because you know I'm secure in my masculinity I can like pink, and it's got a yellow moon with some little yellow and white flowers and a little skull there it's nice I like it. Pastor Newms: [11:16] See again I'm going to go back to it has nothing to do with the pink you bought it because it had a large amount of yellow. Pastor Bill: [11:25] It does have a large amount of yellow I guess. Pastor Newms: [11:27] I love you and you love yellow and and that's yeah that's why you got it it's got a ton of yellow on it. Pastor Bill: [11:37] I present exhibit B you ready my favorite writing pen no yellow only pink. Pastor Newms: [11:47] She looks purple it always looks purple every time you show it I don't know. Pastor Bill: [11:51] Yeah it's pink okay it's like a metallic pink Biggs says purple on screen as well all right big thanks for taking your son side. Pastor Newms: [12:02] Oh and by the way Bill, Biggs said to alcohol sanitize the nail first or else you will cause some rust, and if you're going to drink it you don't want to put that into your beverage if you haven't sanitized it. Pastor Bill: [12:18] Right I appreciate that. Pastor Newms: [12:20] So that's a good point from Phoenix and Biggs, because I forgot. Pastor Bill: [12:27] Biggs says my cup looks purple too. Does my cup look purple? Pastor Newms: [12:30] It is a purplish pink it is definitely not. Pastor Bill: [12:35] It just looks pink pink in person. Pastor Newms: [12:38] No it doesn't look pink pink it looks a lot like the decoration that I stole from Tina because it came her Halloween Fox let's that I stole because she brought it in here because one of the girls were sad and they like holding it when they're sad because it's mommy's and then I was like it's not leave it so it hasn't left yet now it will, because she now knows I have it and we have told her I have it so she will be in here shortly soon as we're done probably to gank the, foxy bat away we like Build-A-Bears a little too much in this family I only have one two three four, five six in my office and a new one they released a green gar and I want him so bad he's so cute. Pastor Bill: A green gar? Pastor Newms: The the you know like the Ghost Pokemon in the in the first Pokemon how they all evolved up and then you get to the big fluffy good-looking guy that's the green gar. Pastor Bill: [13:55] Now we're on the same page. Pastor Newms: [13:56] And who's supposed to be the ghost of I think Cliff fairy. I'm going to get roasted for not knowing that correctly but yeah so. Pastor Bill: [14:10] All right well yeah that's that's pretty much fun my week other than I've been in an extreme amount of pain this week my knees flared up, you've been in pain this week I'm not sure why you're paying flared up my pain flared up this week, and my mother had successful surgery this week she's been you know she had surgery on her spine she's had a lot of numbness and tingling in her legs with also pain you know and all these problems and, so she'll she can walk around a little bit but then her knees to her legs just kind of give out but she, after the surgery, we were her husband and I were asking for an update at my grandma was like she's in pain and they're giving her pain medication and I said well if she's feeling pain that's actually a good sign right, and her husband was like I never thought about it that way she she heck she has full feeling now huh. That, but I haven't actually gotten to talk to her yet since her surgery she is obviously sleeping a lot and and recovering so. So that. Pastor Newms: [15:27] It's good that it went well. Pastor Bill: [15:29] Yeah it's good that it went well there were no issues it was a little longer than it was expected to be but the the surgeon was, aware that it was probably going to take longer and and then they kept her overnight because she's a little older than and then she has her other issues that she deals with so, yeah she got good medical care and that's taken care of and hopefully that will lead to a revitalized woman who loves roller coasters who can actually go back to Six Flags again because that's one of her favorite places to go, sir. Pastor Newms: [16:03] Oh I didn't think about that that's why she hasn't gone with the kids recently. Oh that must be terrible for I didn't even think about that ass like it's you know you worry about like the actual big things but oh my gosh she loves those so much like oh. Pastor Bill: [16:23] Yeah alright so I think that's that and so now it's time for get to know the pastor's and it's my week because it's an odd numbered episode. Pastor Newms: [16:33] Or because I did it last week. Pastor Bill: [16:35] Don't you, you keep saying that but how are we supposed to remember from week to week you did it lasts all week before cue the video I don't know. Pastor Newms: [16:43] How we supposed to remember what episode number were on. Pastor Bill: [16:49] Okay it's true I have to go look up what episode number on every week when I do the title. Pastor Newms: [16:54] And I have to create the folder. Pastor Bill: [16:59] What is your favorite body part about yourself. Pastor Newms: [17:07] You go first. Pastor Bill: [17:10] My beard I'm quite fond of my beard it's a good body part. Do I need to pull a new card? yeah when you pull a new. Pastor Newms: [17:25] Do we do. Pastor Bill: [17:26] I can see the little mischievous thing going in your head right now. Pastor Newms: [17:29] You know what you know what body part I like the most. Pastor Bill: [17:32] Mmm. Pastor Newms: [17:33] My gallbladder because I actually have one. Pastor Bill: [17:36] Okay I'm pulling another card, you jerk, which band or artist Dead or Alive would play at your funeral. Pastor Newms: [17:51] Man the list is so long of people I would love to play at my funeral. What do you think? Pastor Bill: [18:01] Well my funeral has nothing to do with me it's all about the people that I'm leaving behind, and so for people like my mom and my grandmother and my all those people I would want my great-grandfather, to perform one of his gospel songs for them you know, because that really doesn't have anything to do with me. My funeral is not for me the funerals for the people that I left behind. Pastor Newms: [18:36] I have to for Biggs I have to play an Audio Adrenaline song at his funeral it is one of his demands, which is I want to the new body I don't know what the actual name of the song I have it but. You guys keep pulling people that can't perform at your wet at your funeral. They're not alive. Pastor Bill: [19:22] It said dead or alive. My great grandfather's dead. Pastor Newms: [19:28] That's why I said you people keep pulling I missed the Dead part. Pastor Bill: [19:32] Yeah dead or alive. Pastor Newms: [19:35] I don't know my brain didn't even pick up that part I don't know I don't know. I could see so much different styles of music based on who shows up to my funeral, it could be I know at the moment a person came into my mind but it just because it's a person I've been listening to way too much right now but whose. Kim Dracula but it's just because I've been playing them a ton. Pastor Bill: [20:12] Roll my eyes at you sir. Pastor Newms: [20:14] I don't know if I wanted to make everyone cry at answer Johnny Cash. Pastor Bill: [20:23] Mmm. BatBrains, my wife, has a funeral music list on her Spotify. Her and Gregory, they pick out songs and they go, add this to the funeral list. Pastor Newms: [20:47] Zadie I don't mean make you cry right now now that you are I meant make you cry at the funeral, sorry there are certain people I can't bring up in the house because it makes her sad that they are gone she brought up one I didn't, and and then I just brought up another one that upsets her greatly when she. Pastor Bill: [21:15] Chester and Johnny Cash. Pastor Newms: [21:18] I'll never forget it with with Chester Bennington when he passed I got home and she didn't know, because she doesn't watch the news I barely watch the news but I listen to the radio on the way home and so everyone was doing tributes you know and I get home and, I was like I'm sorry baby if you you know if you actually opened the internet today no why. Well Chester Bennington pass, he what and then we proceeded to listen to the discography while we stood in sat in the kitchen and cried for the rest of the night because, that band impacted both of us throughout our lives so much and so then it was just like the girls were like we don't know what's going on but okay will cry too so. Any who see I said any who because Phoenix said. Pastor Bill: [22:22] Phoenix said The Hu yeah I saw that. Pastor Newms: [22:25] Hu not the Mongolian throat singer death metal band not not The Who. Whatever else they sing cuz I don't know who the actual who sang back in the day I just remember I don't like them too much then the monkeys The Beatles it's the. Pastor Bill: [22:48] Hey hey we're the Monkees yeah. Pastor Newms: [23:03] Alright so now we are sufficiently warmed up. Pastor Bill: [23:08] We are we are. Pastor Newms: [23:09] Since we brought the entire time down talking about funerals and death let's talk about the spirit and the soul. Pastor Bill: [23:19] It was in the cards man it was in the cards I didn't do it the cards. Pastor Newms: [23:23] Death of the body and the Eternal - of let's go. Pastor Bill: [23:40] You need to introduce the topic now that. Pastor Newms: [23:42] Oh so. Pastor Bill: [23:43] We've had the cold open but now it's your turn to. Pastor Newms: [23:46] It's funny because typically the way the this format works is. Pastor Bill will tell me. Pastor Bill: [24:14] Sorry guys Phoenix. Pastor Newms: [24:15] Phoenix just killed the Phoenix just killed the. Pastor Bill: [24:20] So Phoenix on Twitch says I want this girl is on fire to be played as I'm being cremated so I can finally have a smoking hot body. That is the cringey assist most hilarious thing that has ever been put on our Discord Channel our Discord server. Oh man you're slipping it. Pastor Newms: [24:50] I'm snipping it I'm sniffing it. Pastor Bill: [24:54] Oh man okay derailed hmm. Pastor Newms: [25:00] Okay so back to the conversation there are times that we, talk about it and we were like okay yeah there are times where we have a verse that bill feels and then there's times like this. And what usually happens with times like this one is the way. Myself and the Holy Spirit tend to. Converse is a little different because. I'm trying to save this real quick Phoenix phrase because that's going in the archive so, typically I get very very random thoughts my mind never stops it's very hard for me to focus and meditate and and study so all of a sudden, like I just get hit with something and it's like hey have you ever thought about this and you're like no I haven't thought about that brain let's think about it till we're dead and then I run that thought process into the ground, obsessing over it so. One of these situations happened where I was thinking about, what is life and I was thinking about what determines if something is alive or is just a functioning, sing what determines the difference the line between this thing is alive and this thing. Is an eternal thing. And then what defines that life and what and so then the topic of spirit and soul came up and then my brain started going the route of okay whale. What do animals have Spirits or Souls because if it has a soul, what does that truly mean what is the Bible say you know and then I thought the route of things talking so there was this big long thing and I come back to my computer because I wasn't at my computer and I was just typing things, dreams like what are what did you what did you do like what are you talking about I have no idea what you're talking about right now, and so I started with the tangent of you know do animals have souls, and if they do do they go to heaven was one of my thought processes and one of the things I ascribe to it was the the actual verbal ability to speak, oftentimes we attribute animals as just being animals because they don't have, rational thought the ability to speak things like that but then I thought of Balaam's ass and the fact that with Balaam's ass. Tells him you know I've been a good ass I've been I've been good to you and the Lord opened his mouth and so I then I, rabbit trailed that word mouth, open not mouth I didn't look up the word mouth that's why I know what mouth means in Greek and Hebrew it's a mouth so I looked up the word open, and and, you know it's literally open like throw open the gates so it's something that is closed it's open so then I tried to research you know at what point does the bible ever talk about animal speaking other than that, and it's only talked about twice and then I get back to, Bill and Bill's like why are we talking about a talking ass and the donkey and Balaam and he's striking it and he's a good donkey and, what are you talking about dude like you went to go, get something to eat like what are you doing in life and I'm like I don't know man it's warm he's like okay I guess we'll talk about Soul this week because that makes sense because obviously you can't be quiet about because and then it went for like, what bill for five hours that I'm sitting there just spinning and just keep sending you messages and you're like okay dude really okay dude really like so it was. It was interesting how it happened and so because of that, that's how we got to this week's topic because I basically was like a dog with a bone and wouldn't let it go and he was like. Well I mean I didn't really know what we were going to talk about yet because the spirit hadn't spoken anything to me so. Well is he spoke to you and I'm like no I was just having a thought he's like that's a whole nother discussion but, so that's what we started talking about then the spirit in the soul we started having that conversation between the two of us because I use the term soul, several times in all the things that I sent him and his response was I'm not trying to be, I'm not trying to be obstinate or I'm not trying to make fun. I'm not how we talked for way too long about that topic oh yeah deleted a bunch of it I forgot about that because it was. Too much anyway. You were like, you know not to not to belittle but to dig because you know you know how I feel about words there is a difference between spirit and soul you're using them wrong and I was like, so then I you know it rabbit hold us even more because you know there are. A lot of people when you think about mind body and soul sorry, mind body and soul or mind spirit and soul or Spirit soul and body or mind will and emotions, body in an eternal soul and there's all these terms that are thrown around for the three things that we are, and some people use them interchangeably the Greek and Hebrew sometimes uses certain parts in certain ways interchangeably the. Scholars will just use them interchangeably other faiths don't even get me started there it's all over the place with other faiths, and and so we started digging into the the Greek in the Hebrew of it together because we were having the conversation and. Sometimes it's weird but I'll let you go from there because if I try to read the Greek and Hebrew words we're all going to be confused. I don't try to do that I barely speak English. Pastor Bill: [32:34] All right so there's a verse and I know I hesitate I tried not to use this verse as the placard verse for the whole episode because, Newms has particular issue with this verse not in the verse itself but in English and the way that English is used, and that's a lot of Newms is issue with this topic, is an issue with a the actual language of English, and I'm sure. Pastor Newms: [33:10] Everything it's Microsoft's an English is fault that's all of life is Microsoft in English is Fault somehow. Pastor Bill: [33:16] Pretty much what most of our conversations are is you complaining about Microsoft or English and me trying to get to a topic that's actually worthy of talking about so. It's just that's where we live. Pastor Newms: [33:30] Not inaccurate. Pastor Bill: [33:31] All right so it was 1st Thessalonians chapter 5, verse 23 and I just put the second half on the placard but we'll go ahead and read the whole verse, now may the God of Peace himself, sanctify you completely and may your whole Spirit soul and body be kept sound and blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. All right, so when we when we think about the ideas here of spirit soul and body and we want to go back to the original language of what those words were used because that's important for the conversation we're having because, a lot of people call the spirit one thing and the Soul another thing and then like newms was saying there's a lot of people that then swap those, and they'll say that the soul is the thing that people said was oh that's hilarious. Pastor Newms: [34:32] Why did it triple it. Pastor Bill: [34:33] It because it has what you typed in and then when Twitch picked it up it then the bot reset it here and then when, Facebook picked it up that it said it again in the Discord server so it's there three times in Discord server well we know it got onto Twitter and Facebook though, all right so there are people that swap those, they say spirit is one thing and other people say well that's your salt and then some people say soul is one thing and other people say well that's your spirit and nobody's arguing about what your body is we're all pretty clear, on what your physical body is the thing that we can see and feel and touch and interact with, we're not we're not arguing that except for maybe Elon Musk because like it's all a simulation anyway there is no physical body, but other than that guy everyone else. Pastor Newms: [35:27] There is a new Matrix movie coming out so maybe. Pastor Bill: [35:29] Everyone else seems to understand the concept of body right so when we look at the original words that. Why am I looking at the top your head Newms. Pastor Newms: [35:43] I am laughing because I never thought it would get to the point where we're talking about Elon Musk in any capacity of The Berean Manifesto and yet somehow it came up so continue I'm sorry. Pastor Bill: [35:52] And somehow all right so in first Thessalonians chapter 5 verse 23 Paul uses the words Numa spirit. Su ke and I'm probably not saying that one right but it's close enough it's a psyche the psychology that work as that's in translated as soul, and Soma which is. Okay the confusing part is that the definitions of Numa,spirit and soul tsuke are really close to each other, and the really only dividing difference here they both mean breath okay they both by implication mean Spirit but tsuke specifically, refers to the animal sentient principle only, so the difference between the the only real difference between Numa and Sookie, is that Numa being breath and spirit and mind will and emotions is all this abstract spiritual idea and tsuke, is breath Spirit mind will and emotions and life in a concrete manner, so the only difference between these two words is concept and concrete which means there's no real difference between the word, so you can without being wrong swap those two words. All day long in your translation and you'll never actually be wrong okay. But for me now we're talking about for me when I go back and I look at Genesis and I look through the Old Testament. I feel that. Numa that is in the Greek is specifically defined as the part of us that is divine, a chunk of God that was breathed into us by God after he's formed a. And then I see psyche, as the mind will and emotions that that being has. Better than uses to drive the body. So I believe that I am a spirit I have a soul. And I live in a body right so just the same as here on Earth my, soul and body are inseparable my soul drives my body without my soul my body dies, without my body my soul is no longer tethered here, right it's the same way in the spiritual realm my spirit is my spiritual realm body. And the same as my physical body my spiritual body is then driven by that soul that mind will and emotions. And that mind will and emotions is that centerpiece that you know drives either way and. When I look at the Old Testament words that were used for these same Concepts right in the New Testament we have pneuma psyche and Soma and the Old Testament, we have ruach and I gotta click through each one to make sure I don't completely butcher these words nefesh, and Katie okay ruach nefesh and Katie, and they are less Des ambiguous and more specific to our to be understood to be spirit, Soul or in this case animal vitality, something that breathes has a soul, and body which could be used for anything anything that is living plants animals even water can be known as having a cage. Now nefesh to breathe this is this is the word that pro-abortion people like to point to a lot about well Life Starts at first breath, and that's this idea of nefesh that something isn't alive until it's taking its first breath where as pro-life people, I want to look you really call on scriptures that use ruach, as the word for that defines life okay now both of those words do mean breath but they mean breath and separate ways, ruach means you are spiritually alive you're a spiritual person and nefesh means you are now physically a. And I know that sounds like I just endorse one or the other depending on what your confirmation bias tells you. The ultimate goal is that I am, pro-life I Am pro mother I Am pro woman I Am pro life is sticky and grey and I would rather, us do more Ministry to people in those situations unless, judging of what people have done or feel like they were cornered into doing and I don't really have a pro or anti abortion stance as much as I have a pro person stance, and while all the stuff is going on in Texas about abortion laws and did it personally, I don't agree with stricter Banning of abortion laws, because I don't think that's how you solve an abortion problem if you're anti-abortion if you're anti-abortion I believe you solve that problem by better education, two women and young women and young men about the do's and don'ts of sex how contraceptives work how all that happens, he put more funding into fixing the adoption system and fixing the Foster system to where children aren't just abandoned and moving from home to home with all of their belongings in a trash bag, and to where you don't have to be a ridiculously rich person to adopt another human being because we had this okay so we have the CPS service that comes in. And decides whether or not a living space is safe for a child that is already there right. And the level you know the level of financial ability responsibility and all that is way down here and then when you go to adopt not only is the standard up here but then you have to pay fees on top of that, in order to process all of the stuff, so we have an adoption system that need to be fixed they have a foster system that needs to be fixed we had need better education for our students to teach them that while yes abstinence is 99.99% effective, they need to know what happens when they can't control themselves. What do they do because if we're just teaching abstinence and we're not teaching young men and women how to keep from getting pregnant, then we are literally just asking for abortions and I'm not talking about the the kind that happened in a safe clean, doctors office I'm talking about the dirty dangerous kind that are bad. That's where everyone all right so that's nefesh and ruach okay, in the Old Testament God refers to himself using each of these three terms, right he uses rugelach and nephesh most and then there are times where he in a future sense says I will be. I will be shy meaning I will have a body one day I will have a body, and so when he talks about himself as ruach he always refers to himself as what we, gu as the father father Son and Holy Spirit that's always that father idea every time he uses rule when he talks nefesh, and when he when he uses him nefesh as a reference to himself oh I got that wrong didn't I. When he talks about himself as ruach he's always talking about the Holy Spirit. The spirit that moves on the earth and moves on men and inhabits men that's ruach nefesh. Pastor Newms: [46:06] I was mainly looking at the Greek I forgot to look up the Hebrew I'ma be honest. Pastor Bill: [46:16] And then ke ke kaha Hai EK hey how are you said that work that's always future tips okay now. For me and you can go do your own studies obviously big says It's All Greek to him except I was just reading the Hebrew words but I get the joke it's a funny joke it's a great joke even but I'm going to need you to stop. Okay so, when I look at God and I see God as this Father Son and Holy Spirit this Trinity, and then I look in Genesis and I see that God created Mankind in his own image hmm. I guess I see in our culture a lot where people talk about. Well I made in God's image to God must be he muscle drug me, when I look in the mirror he must be you know this shape I Made In His Image right humankind is Made In His Image except I don't think that's what that verse meant at all.When it says God made man kind of His Image I think that was referring to the fact that God is a trinity he then created a being that is a trinity, spirit, soul and a body just like God is the Father the Son and the Holy Spirit and regardless of how you use those words back and forth. That's actually not that big of a deal that's not important but that's my take on this this situation if that, we are made in God's image as in not our physical skin, put our Triune makeup we are a trinity I am a trinity of spirit soul and body. [48:21] I could be completely off and that's fine I'm allowed to be wrong and I will continue be wrong until someone shows me what's right, and if you can show me in the scripture, then I have no problem changing you know my nan salvation beliefs there's only the one belief that's worth arguing over and that salvation in Jesus, the rest of this is all icing and that's what I have to say about that. Newms I expected you to speak up more. Pastor Newms: [49:02] I was letting you finish first. Pastor Bill: [49:05] Okay your turn. Pastor Newms: [49:06] So I agree I think that were created with the three I think that we are. A body being driven. Buy something and that something is what communicates with the part of us that goes to heaven I tend to use them the opposite I tend to use soul is, is what ascends spirit is what, connects the two I'm not sure a hundred percent as to where exactly I picked those up. But that's always how I've viewed it is the soul as the Eternal part the spirit, is I mean sorry the soul is the spiritual part that actually is ascribed to the Ascension the, and that the soul is what connects the is the mind will and emotions that connect the two. But inherently again as arguments so often, come to be the issue is not in our agreement the issue is in the use of English I do love in the New Testament, that the term Holy Spirit you know you kind of want to think that it's a, it's a thing in and of itself like the holy spirit's the term but it's not it's the same word that's used for our eternal spirit just with the word holy in front of it so it's. Pastor Bill: [50:51] Saint is a better translation for that word but yeah. Pastor Newms: [50:55] Yeah it is Ed so it's you know but it's the same word that can be used for ghost it's the same word so I do understand, your belief of it being the spirit because it's also the same word that you use for ghost throughout the Bible which would be the, internal part which makes sense not the mind will and emotions, but I just can't do it for some reason I can't whenever I'm speaking it always comes out. The soul is the part that ascends into the spiritual realm which makes no sense when you think about the fact that it is the. Spiritual realm and it says it right the blank in there. Pastor Bill: [51:44] Language is cultural driven we call it that because someone decided to call it that. We could very well need to call it the soul realm we would you know do you know what I mean like language is weird like that language changes the definitions of words change. Pastor Newms: [52:04] Again that's the English thing because Asian culture the soul is what ascends. Because I just thought about that but you should me Got Me In Your Soul Reapers and your you know which those two words were the Same by the way should be coming in so we prepared to say just for those of you out there that aren't nerds, Japanese one of the other the. Pastor Bill: [52:33] Yes because Soul Reaper so much better and more understood in our Western culture than death God try go ahead. I'm just poking fun at English. Pastor Newms: [53:02] The point of several really really good animes. But but that's my thing is is inherently I don't argue with our premises I argue with our usage of words just because even though I agree with you, I can't say it that way for some reason it's just one of those things my brain always goes to typing Soul every time. Pastor Bill: [53:29] Alright let's wrap this up by talking about why this doesn't matter at all you ready. Pastor Newms: [53:37] It's not a Salvation. Pastor Bill: [53:40] What happens in the rapture. Pastor Newms: [53:43] The body and whatever is attached to it is pulled up. Pastor Bill: [53:47] The body mmm what goes what goes to the judgment is just the spirit or the soul or oh oh it's the body and it's the whole kit and caboodle. Pastor Newms: [54:00] Does it matter. Pastor Bill: [54:01] What it doesn't matter it doesn't matter what you call which part all three go they all go, even the people that have been dead and gone and buried or burned and spread or lost in the ocean their body is risen again and meets the Lord in the air, and is perfected and then we go into the judgment so it it doesn't matter. Pastor Newms: [54:30] And it is that word body it's not. Pastor Bill: [54:31] What matters yeah it is yeah actual word body. Pastor Newms: [54:35] Yeah it's not. Pastor Bill: [54:36] Is so much it's um it's. Pastor Newms: [54:38] Because. Pastor Bill: [54:39] Let me make sure I'm saying the whole work a Soma is soma your body your physical body. Pastor Newms: [54:43] It's not that it's it means person it it actually it's it means he. Pastor Bill: [54:50] What's your physical body. Pastor Newms: [54:52] The writer meant physical body. Pastor Bill: [54:55] And don't don't give me that whole over that's in the Book of Revelations in the Book of Revelations there's allegory about ad 70 digit it's also in Thessalonians written by a whole different author, who didn't have access to John's writings of Revelation and John didn't have access to Thessalonians when he wrote Revelations so, no it is yeah it's an event that's talked about in more than one place in the Bible and it is the whole body, rises in the air to meet the Lord, and then goes on to judgment so this whole is the spirit of the soul the only thing we are doing this for, is so you can go and fall on your own decide, what you believe about the spirit the soul and the body based off of what you are informed on in the scriptures. Not of what I say not a for Pastor Newms says not off of what people say on Tic Tok now I gotta tell you there's some really good people dropping some serious, exegesis in Tick Tock Annie and I mean, some people that have phds in religious studies and I can tell you you know this is what it meant this is why they said it and it's really good videos out there, um I can't remember the name of the guy that I'm thinking of off the top of my head there's also a guy named Saints and Sages that does a great job talking about, the church and and the culture of Christianity and the way things should be going and the way that we're not doing things that we should be doing and there's some great videos at the teaching. But don't believe what anyone says until you find in the scripture for yourself and you prove it to yourself that it's true. Pastor Newms: [57:00] Yeah cuz sadly for all those people that are good there's a lot that are bad too. There's a lot that are bad that aren't just on Tick-Tock but we won't get into that. Pastor Bill: [57:15] So go out there and be Berean own what you know decide what is true own your faith, and then walk in that hope and security and confidence go make friends with the Lost, and. Let them let your light shine in their life when they ask be prepared to give a reason for the hope. All right I love you guys have a great week. Pastor Newms: Be safe out there. Pastor Bill: Until next time...

Pastor Newms: [0:10] Countdown 5 minutes dada. Pastor Bill: [0:15] Here we are. Pastor Newms: [0:18] No Pastor Bill: [0:19] We're not singing oh okay, and plus that wouldn't clash with the music that's on the countdown because I can't hear the count down from where I am but I know there's music on it because I made the kind of video. Pastor Newms: [0:39] And I don't a hundred percent know how much the countdown behaves how close how clear it is when we're talking over it I don't know. Pastor Bill: [0:53] I checked it that first time and it was the the music was a little low and I told you that but then I didn't follow up and check it again after that so I should probably do that after this episode. Pastor Newms: [1:07] Because I was just wondering just now was like wait a second what if it's actually coming across considering. We are breaking out the stream the the voices I thought about it after that. Pastor Newms: [1:58] I can we can completely here. Pastor Newms: [2:08] We're live. [2:12] So people are talking and then hearing what we're talking about after we're talking about it no I don't mean in our live going out because I can see those levels. I mean in the actual podcast that goes out. I like the two we take the two tracks and we merged the two tracks together but the two tracks are just your voice in my voice I don't know about the that's what I'm wondering about but we can check it out. [2:59] I mean yeah but that's not very riveting television it's even worse trip. Pastor Bill: [3:14] The intro video hello there's music on it. I pulled up the actual podcast podcast of last week. Pastor Newms: [3:27] Last time ah okay I thought you pulled up the one right now because I sent the same thing in the beginning I didn't realize intro video right as I was starting it. Pastor Bill: [3:37] Use an intro video at the beginning of last one yeah. But yeah it is I pulled up the actual podcast podcast of last week not not the video not the live video from YouTube but the actual podcast. Pastor Newms: [3:52] Because I don't ever listen to our actual podcast now I used. Pastor Bill: [3:59] Reactions then you had to talk about it but you born actually. So this is our 336th episode for the Berean Manifesto be me and. [4:20] Is 336 episodes that's a lot of episodes, Zaidie on Twitch goes y'all do know we can hear you right tell me you haven't been on time to the live recording of a podcast for the last three weeks without telling me you haven't been on time to the live recording of the podcast for the last three weeks. [4:51] There is something makes you feel old what makes you feel old lady on Twitch they don't reach. [5:01] For what it's already been five minutes. Pastor Newms: [5:04] Yes because you were playing with things five seconds. Pastor Bill: [5:15] Hello and welcome to season 3 episode 36 of The Berean Manifesto: Faith, Hope, and Love for the Modern Christian I'm Pastor Bill, and I am joined as always by the ever magnanimous first Clerk of the FCA, I mean Pastor Newms, all the way from Tennessee. Pastor Newms: [5:38] I'm going to bed I'm going to bed. Pastor Bill: [5:39] Why you shaking your head you got somebody hats to wear. Pastor Newms: [5:43] I'm going to bed I'm going to bed. Pastor Bill: [5:45] Yeah so we were talking in the intro this is our 336 episode for the brand Manifesto, which is a lot of episode that's a lot of content that's a lot of time I mean magnanimous yes magnanimous, um that's a lot of content it really is and most of those are 10 minute episodes and then when we switch to this format they became one-hour episodes so, as we progress it's going to be even more content, an insane amount of content so how was your week Pastor Newms. Pastor Newms: [6:30] It's pretty good. Pastor Bill: [6:33] Yeah week two of the Ferengi Commerce Authority in Star Trek. Pastor Newms: [6:39] Yeah. Pastor Bill: [6:42] Week one of a new installment of the current story arc in our Star Trek game. Pastor Newms: [6:48] Another week with another story arc without Worf and, I have words to say that aren't appropriate for the podcast on it so that's I don't care about Riker he's a cool dude but, don't care. Pastor Bill: [7:10] I really hope you know they dropped that William Riker character I really hope halfway through the month they're going to drop another update and change him to Thomas Riker, and be like how we tricked you guys since the character they dropped its anti Federation, that makes no sense for Will Riker to be anti Federation ability But it does make sense for Thomas wrecker to have an anti Federation ability. So we got HPuffPhoenix joining us on Twitch and Phoenix Zaidie don't know if Biggs will be with us didn't he just get back from his trip he's probably. Pastor Newms: [7:50] No he he I don't know I was at his house earlier today he got back on like Thursday, Wednesday I don't remember but no I was over there today and yesterday, so how was your week. Pastor Bill: [8:22] How was my week unfortunately, one day I went to Walmart and they didn't have those motorized carts, and I said you know what I don't have to get very many items I'll walk it, and then I couldn't walk the rest of the day could barely walk the next day could hobble along with a cane, and and now today I'm I can walk but I got to take it slow so that was a big mistake, thinking that I could walk the breadth and length of Walmart for 20 minutes and not have any repercussions. Pastor Newms: [9:09] And it's your hips and knees isn't it. Pastor Bill: [9:11] It's yeah it's my hips and knees but then it also ends up causing my back to hurt as well because my back tries to, compensate and then I try to hold myself up on the shopping cart so my shoulders get all you know tense, so it ends up causing a lot of problems but yeah it's mainly starts in my knees and my hips and then just kind of spreads up from there so. [9:37] So yeah the knee thing I was I was born with a condition that it's a rare knee condition, called loose kneecap so basically my kneecaps kind of float instead of being solid and keeping the, solid my kneecap kind of floats so then when I bend my knees instead of being solid the two bones have the freedom to go like this on each other, this floating rubbing thing motion around in circles instead of just being a solid Bend and that has, that caught up with me when I was working at Gateway Church, and I was going up and down the stairs every day over and over and over again to clean the auditorium floors that's when it caught up with me, the doctors Rex's surprised I didn't show up in high school, and I was like well I didn't play any sports I mean I was on marching band but that's basically just walking and they were like oh well yeah if you weren't if you didn't do any sports at all and I guess it makes sense that you don't know that you have this condition. [10:47] And then the insurance company tried not to pay for it because they were like, everyone who's ever been diagnosed with this gets diagnosed in high school it's so this is a pre-existing condition and I was like nope never seen a doctor for it they were like oh okay our apologies will go ahead and pay for that then, which was weird I expected a lot more pushback on that but they were just like okay, Biggs is here he got onto the wrong broadcast somehow on Twitch, did you get on one of ours at least but that was old. Pastor Newms: [11:24] Or now he was watching he was watching some other two fat dudes talking about stuff. Pastor Bill: [11:35] It was it was an older one but I was wearing this shirt so like two or three weeks ago. Pastor Newms: [11:37] Yeah you did wear that shirt like three weeks ago Father's Day you wore that shirt because you didn't want to be formal that day so you were just like, yeah. Pastor Bill: [11:54] Pride Biggs says Pride. Pastor Newms: [11:57] What about pride? Pastor Bill: [12:00] Haha same shirt my wife says. Pastor Newms: [12:03] Yeah so she's watching. Pastor Bill: [12:06] I don't know what Biggs is saying about Pride but. Pastor Newms: [12:12] I don't either all right. Pastor Bill: [12:17] Okay so now it's time for get to know the pastor. And you had something you wanted to do during this segment is that right. Pastor Newms: [12:32] No no I wanted you to get your cards out and to start. Pastor Bill: [12:36] Okay I'm getting my card out he was like Joey to tell you now or do you just want me to Blindside you when it's time and I was like. I don't know he's like it'll be it'll be better if I Blindside you and I was like okay we'll go that way then all right the card for today is. Pastor Newms: [12:54] No it's not so this little card right here is the card for today and it says if you could invent a pair of glasses that would allow you to see abstract things the motives behind someone's actions, what would you want to see most of all. Pastor Bill: [13:13] That is so in-depth read that again. Pastor Newms: [13:15] If you could invent a pair of glasses that would allow you to see abstract things and example, like the motives behind someone's actions or what they're thinking or you know something like that what would you want to see most of all. Pastor Bill: [13:35] Like like, what abstract thing would I want it to focus on or what would I hope or what would I hope. Pastor Newms: [13:48] Yeah what would you want to be able to see. Pastor Bill: [13:53] I saw most people was were driven by. Pastor Newms: [13:57] No what would you want it to focus on I know it's a weird one I don't like it too much. [14:10] I think I would want to see. [14:17] The person's greatest motivator. But you know every person has a this is my main motivation in life I would want to see that. Pastor Bill: [14:32] I would want to see trauma. Pastor Newms: [14:36] Their greatest trauma. Pastor Bill: [14:38] No I would want to see when they do something, was that inspired by some trauma how were they hurt what hurt you that made you respond that way. Pastor Newms: [14:51] Mmm. Pastor Bill: [14:52] Because then I could come around with compassion and actually put myself in their shoes. Pastor Newms: [14:58] I was going to say if you wanted to see their greatest trauma that's messed up like. Pastor Bill: [15:02] Not see it but see what when they do something see if that was trauma inspired trauma-based you know, was that because they really are, you know a total jerk or was that because I did something that triggered a trauma memory and they're reacting out of self-defense. Pastor Newms: [15:25] Nice that's the smart one so this is what happened yesterday we were out and about and, Tina and HPuffPhoenix saw these these it's this little chat pack thing. Pastor Bill: [15:46] Okay. Pastor Newms: [15:47] And they were like we got them for you and I was. Pastor Bill: [15:50] I love it. Pastor Newms: [15:51] Why, why did you get them for me and they were like for the for the stuff that for the for the you know, the segment where you guys questions now you guys have multiple things to pull from and I was like all right and I pulled the first one and it was pretty good and then that one was good but complex like it was. Pastor Bill: [16:16] Complex so they didn't get those for you they got those for me. Pastor Newms: [16:20] Yeah. Pretty much so what I thought we would do is trade off weeks. Pastor Bill: [16:29] All right so you get the even number episodes and I get the odd number of episodes. Is this 336 so you pull the card and then 337 I'll pull the card and so on and so forth. Pastor Newms: [16:42] Sure that is accurate yes. Pastor Bill: [16:47] Okay. Pastor Newms: [16:48] I was thinking we would just trade off weeks. Pastor Bill: [16:51] But this way we can actually keep track like whose leak was the last week well was I speaking even number so we're going on number episode. Pastor Newms: [17:00] I see your I see your meaning. Pastor Bill: [17:02] See because I can't even with you and you're at odds with most of the stuff that I tried. Pastor Newms: [17:08] I'm at odds with most of the world, but I can't even with you that is a. Pastor Bill: [17:25] What mr. groggy you're late but how could you have raided me. Pastor Newms: [17:32] So what he means. Pastor Bill: [17:33] In your in my alliance. Pastor Newms: [17:36] No what he means is Mister groggy actually streams. Pastor Bill: [17:41] How old is he. Pastor Newms: [17:42] And so what he means is he should have rated us by basically sending everyone who was watching him before he wrapped up his stream so he could come join us. Pastor Bill: [17:52] Oh is that what that means I've never heard that term. Pastor Newms: [17:56] I want you guys to all go here. Pastor Bill: [17:58] I see okay okay that. Pastor Newms: [18:01] And do it so yeah we're ending the stream but go see this person you know that kind of thing I don't know the. Pastor Bill: [18:11] Totally should have done that. Pastor Newms: [18:14] And I'm not sure why Zaidie said for the horde but okay, nope not today this is this is my whole mood right now no. Pastor Bill: [18:27] That's your home is enough nothing did you get that shirt yesterday. Pastor Newms: [18:30] I didn't I got it at some point in the last week's at Walmart because I've just been trying to. [18:44] What are the news is still playing I'm not I'm not playing well right now no it's not for The Horde. Pastor Bill: [18:53] Newms doesn't like the horde. Pastor Newms: [18:55] I'm an Alliance player. Pastor Bill: [18:56] He doesn't like the Horde he likes the Alliance. Pastor Newms: [18:59] Sylvanas is a word person. Pastor Bill: [19:00] Hey it wasn't always Sylvanas though he's getting out here because you're still in the Star Trek game what. Pastor Newms: [19:09] Oh no oh yeah I'm still playing Star Trek don't get me wrong on that that's right here it's actually it's funny because so if I look over here, I'm actually looking at the broadcast information so I'm looking at the chat client I'm looking at what you guys see to make sure, all those types of things right all the things that are going on so over here is the actual, teams and the reason so I put the game actually directly over bills face so when I when I when in the in this it looks like I'm looking to talk to Bill, I'm not I'm talking to like hit the bottom of his elbow, I like some other stuff but I try to make sure I do it because then it looks like I'm looking at him because of how the stream works. Pastor Bill: [20:07] And my setup I put, you know I'm on my phone and so I put it to where you what I see of Newms is to the right of my camera and then I put our Discord chat to the left of my camera, and then down here I've got my laptop which just you know then streaming to my, monitor my second Monitor and I've got e-Sword up down here and I use it to type into the Discord and so that's. [20:53] And then you got your camera an actual camera camera there in the. Pastor Newms: [20:55] Yeah it's dead center between the two monitors. Pastor Bill: [20:59] And then my I've got my microphone I got this pulled down for looks but I've got my actual microphone over here my my blue Mike. Pastor Newms: [21:08] So this right here is then my work computer this this set up with my work board up here so and that's Tina's desk over there. Pastor Bill: [21:23] Alright so this week we're talking about friendship, Phoenix you liked that did ya this is microphones just for looks so it doesn't look like I'm just wearing headphones this microphone works I just it's not connected to anything right now it's just pulled down hey it's not for anything special. It's not as awesome as the Blue mic. Pastor Newms: [21:52] Somehow the mic that I'm wearing right now is better than my Blue mic because my blue bike is actually the lower version of Blue also. Pastor Bill: [22:00] Yeah you gotta USB Blue mic, I got a studio-grade XLR that had needed to that I had to get a compressor to power which they didn't tell me when I ordered it, and I would need a separate compressor so then I had to order compressor. Pastor Newms: [22:20] In case in case everything everyone just saw because it got broadcast it out teams can't hear me when I mute to take a drink and so I muted myself a teams went I can't hear you thanks go away. Pastor Bill: [22:34] Thanks teams. Pastor Newms: [22:36] It's going to happen again. Pastor Bill: [22:37] Burping Roxanne on YouTube says she's sitting in front of her TV playing Fortnight with us, on her right hand side but she we can't see her so it doesn't matter although I could take my phone in there cuz she's just in the living room here in the same house as I am and then he would be able to see her what do you think about that sweetheart would you like me to bring this phone in there and show everybody, our kitchen in our living room and he's sitting there playing for it. [23:07] So now my Phoenix has to be they do see. Pastor Newms: [23:14] I know, I know it's because we had to adjust slightly because of the jerking thing unfold screened you hoping that would work and, technically didn't but that change the ratio slightly so it makes it to where they can actually see that so every time I take a drink from that drink that that now is going to go out so. Pastor Bill: [23:38] So I was going to tell you now my team's is doing to your incoming video what your team's was doing to my incoming video earlier. So teams is doing some weird stuff with aspect ratios this evening changing the aspect just just like this ever so often just take Tink Tink Tink Tink Tink the and it's like why what oh big is if you're in firing you stop drop and roll bro you know what I agree with the statements I've heard online, as much as we heard stop drop and roll growing up I assumed, catching on fire would be a lot bigger of a deal than it is like I've never caught on fire. Pastor Newms: [24:25] I have twice. Pastor Bill: [24:29] Yeah but twice out of how many years. [24:36] Out of a long time right I'm 39 I've never caught on fire and I'm like I thought that I thought having this information would. Would go a long way. Pastor Newms: [24:49] So so I've caught on fire twice both times. Pastor Bill: [24:55] I said what's up you stop drop and roll. Pastor Newms: [24:58] While cooking no I I padded because it wasn't a full fire it was just like, it so I was in a Dallas Cowboys t-shirt is a great t-shirt and I was cooking Italian bake for someone and I leaned over to stir the sauce and leaned back, and kept cooking the meat and I guess it was a gas stove in an. [25:30] And when I leaned over there must have been a little bit of flame coming out of the pan like from the side of the pan and it caught, the bottom of my shirt right here when I was skinnier so it wasn't a fat thing it was it was during the internship the skinniest I've ever been and and and was like and so I leaned back, and I smelled burning, and I kind of did like this and then realized it was my torso of my shirt was rapidly you know whooshing, and so I just hit myself a bunch and then spent the rest of the night, in a crop top because the girls cut it for me so that way I could keep my one of my favorite shirts but it didn't it it sits right here now, and so I have I have a crop top Dallas Cowboys shirt in my drawer that I will only wear as a joke because. Pastor Bill: [26:33] That's hilarious. Pastor Newms: [26:34] Nobody wants to see that. Pastor Bill: [26:37] Yeah I've never been on fire I've melted part of my belly before with bacon grease while trying to cook French toast using bacon grease and splashed it up onto my stomach and, but never caught on fire. Pastor Newms: [26:54] The other time was much more minor it was just like yeah and it was done. Pastor Bill: [27:01] Everybody wants to see your crop top Cowboys stir everybody onto a hunch on chat Roxanne on YouTube groggy on Twitter. Pastor Newms: [27:04] It's not happening it's not happening it is not it is in it is in if Tina brings it to me I will I will change shirts off camera. Pastor Bill: [27:15] Phoenix Phoenix says you need to wear to Pride. Pastor Newms: [27:19] I will know I got to wear my Free Hug shirt to the actual Franklin Pride on the 31st and then the Murfreesboro pride in September. Pastor Bill: [27:29] I might design a different shirt by then but if not then yeah you'll have to wear the Free Hug sure I don't have a free hug shirt anymore I made money into a canvas. Pastor Newms: [27:40] I thought you made one of the kids or something into a canvas that was yours. Pastor Bill: [27:45] No I retired mine that's mine. Pastor Newms: [27:48] Wow I did not sign up for the borough one yet I need to look into it and I know I'm supposed to. Pastor Bill: [27:55] I requested to get put on the waitlist for the occasion house. Pastor Newms: [28:02] For the net that's the Nashville one. Pastor Bill: [28:04] For the Nashville yeah that's right yes. Pastor Newms: [28:08] I think we'll just attend the Murfreesboro one. [28:20] That's a tank top that's not a crop top. Pastor Bill: [28:22] All right. Pastor Newms: [28:25] Yeah I agree it looks a lot smaller than I thought it was the child's to I'm gonna say I didn't say it I'm glad he did. Pastor Bill: [28:39] Actually. [28:46] See the artwork doesn't change size for the different size shirts yep the same size there as it is on all the other shirt. Pastor Newms: [28:55] Oh so just a lot of fabric behind it. Pastor Bill: [29:00] No I cut all that fabric off and there was a lot to cut off I'll give you that I will I'll give you that one yeah, all right so tonight we're talking about something that Newms doesn't know how to does know anything about we're talking about friendship, and friends really get each other's backs and defend them and they don't call them fat and talk about having to cut extra I'm playing, I'm playing friends. Pastor Newms: [29:30] I say this. Pastor Bill: [29:31] are there all the time. Pastor Newms: [29:33] I say this as the largest I have ever been let's be honest and I had a bowl of chips for dinner so I mean I can't really. Pastor Bill: [29:43] So I ran a little experiment recently okay all right so I'm not going to give you the actual numbers numbers but I'm going to tell you the results so, I weighed myself at my mother's house on a Wednesday and I took note of what my weight was and then I spent a week where I drank almost no dr. pepper whatsoever, okay almost no dr. pepper and I gained six pounds. So then I spent a week where I drank at least a liter of dr. pepper everyday a liter do you know how big a liter is. Pastor Newms: [30:22] Yes I see you drink them all day. Pastor Bill: [30:25] Let me show you this is a liter of dr. pepper. This I drink at least one of these a day for a week you want to guess what happened. Pastor Newms: [30:35] You lost weight. Pastor Bill: [30:37] I lost 8 pounds. Pastor Newms: [30:40] Do you want to know why I can tell you why it's. Pastor Bill: [30:43] Everybody's got an explanation. Pastor Newms: [30:45] No it's the it's the sugar content they did a they did a study in the 90s with rats right and if you give rats unlimited food, right and then diet sodas and regular sodas the rats on the diet sodas, eight more because they felt like they were not getting their bodies felt they were not getting enough sugar, so they because they were already addicted to the sugar because sugar is in the food so they would continue to eat more the rats on the doctor on the they use Coke but whatever on the coax ate less food, because they were getting their sugar elsewhere. Pastor Bill: [31:45] I see. Pastor Newms: [31:46] Me I need to cut out sugars for different reason than just weight loss though my sugars need to be cut out because when I don't I then sound like this. Pastor Bill: [32:13] My Knuckles can do that too but for a different reason and not not as intense as yours but the same the same thing about my kneecaps it is true about my fingers so. Pastor Newms: [32:27] Yeah that's a different pop definitely that's a that's a why are you playing with the dog in my office right now. Go on. [32:42] The child drug the dog into the office playing with her with the Rope it's like. Pastor Bill: [32:48] You do know I'm live right there's like millions of people watching right now. Pastor Newms: [32:50] No but there's not Millions there's for but. Pastor Bill: [32:55] Excuse me sir excuse me I had to be on there I said balloons of people not millions of people. Don't roll your way out of the shot, you said your desk behind you was a mess they don't look like it is a mess. Pastor Newms: [33:15] That is yeah it is look I got I got I got chains on there from where I didn't put them away last night I've got I've got gloves I've got. Pastor Bill: [33:30] Wear gloves last night. Pastor Newms: [33:32] I got no I've got the stuff to hang my axe I've. Pastor Bill: [33:37] That's been there for two weeks. Pastor Newms: [33:38] I've got it's still a mess. And with my chairs in front of it you can't see I've got my to be read books that just keeps getting taller because I keep not doing it. Pastor Bill: [33:56] I've got to to read books up there, from the Time Lord Victorious series that came out last year, Biggs says he got new knees no more pain when my knee problems started and I went to see the Osteo orthopedist, whatever he whatever have you use that whatever the term is, um he told me that there was no knee surgery that could fix what I was going through that they could do knee replacements. Pastor Newms: [34:35] That's what he's talking about is new. Pastor Bill: [34:38] But that he didn't think at my age that that was a good idea so. Pastor Newms: [34:48] It's cuz I keep moving around so my camera keeps zooming in and out I know. Pastor Bill: [34:54] My chiropractor has really helped me lately building up the strength in my calves and my thighs so that my knees won't causes much problems. Yeah so I've been doing some leg stretches and I'm working on my knees more to strengthen all that up but. Pastor Newms: [35:13] I have I have not. Pastor Bill: [35:14] Man that walked around Walmart for 20 minutes and then I can't walk for two days so. Pastor Newms: [35:19] Yeah I am, it not now your screens do in the auto adjusting thing on my side it just did it three times but maybe not so the aspect of, I just ever since I work from home and sit here it's just we went out yesterday to a block party for. [35:47] It's artsplace I don't know what the Arts place is I don't even what city I was in but somewhere here it was their first Pride, event lady to block party and we went and, standing for the majority of the day, was non conducive I came home took a bath and went to bed Columbia was Columbia Tennessee yes thank you Mr.Groggy cuz, I don't remember where we were Mr.Groggy went with us so but we have Franklin Pride on the 31st of this month, and it's kind of interesting the differences of cities, the the groups are much different from, Dallas Pride to the things that are starting here because like this was the first year for Columbia it was the first year for one of the other cities it's the you know only the such-and-such year for and it's like, Dallas Prides been going since the 80s so it's like it's like it's a much different community of friends. [37:12] See what I did there guys I went back to the topic it's crazy. Pastor Bill: [37:13] Did that yeah nice Segway man. [37:36] You could just stop shaving it. Pastor Newms: [37:39] Then you could still see the cabinet behind me just as easily, my hair is not as pretty and full as yours still is I don't have floppy curly hair no more I've got a look the walls behind me hair. [38:15] Something stinging behind me. Pastor Bill: [38:19] Golden Girls theme song what is the Golden Girls theme song I don't remember this course we can't play it because. Pastor Newms: [38:32] It's fine we can look it up afterwards sir because if you start it on your computer it might pick up the sound and then we'll get a boot. Pastor Bill: [38:41] Thank you for being a friend traveled down the road and back again your heart is true you're a pal and a confidant and if you threw a party invited everyone you knew, you would see the biggest gift would be from me that's the words to The Golden Girls theme song Alright, this week we're talking about friendship, and it's interesting when you're talking about friendship I was doing you know it's a little bit of looking into, the ideas of when we talk about friendship and some of the concepts philosophically about friendship and Newms what are you doing on your phone. Pastor Newms: [39:29] You started reading you started reading Golden Girls so I went away. Pastor Bill: [39:37] Have you just been sitting there with your phone glowing at your face waiting for me to say something. Pastor Newms: [39:41] No Pastor Bill: [39:42] You could deliver that line. Pastor Newms: [39:44] I was I actually was wondering what the notification was that I got and then you gave me a reason to pick it up and check and then I started reading something so, and then I forgot we were live for a second and then you said something yeah. Pastor Bill: [40:02] As lookup in your home your phone your whole face is lit up. Pastor Newms: [40:05] Because I was like oh that's interesting to me go ahead and just get that real close and be able to read it right and she's just to finish it first. Pastor Bill: [40:12] All right so I was looking to Proverbs chapter 18 verse 24, um and I found this verse in and of itself has some interest interesting details I, in the csb it says one with many friends may be harmed but there is a friend who stays closer than a brother, but then in some other manuscripts some of the younger manuscripts it says. One with many friends see where does it say. [40:57] But friends must be friendly I believe is what it says instead of may be harmed, but friends must be friendly. [41:10] So it's an interesting interesting that it changed in, friends must be friendly and so this particular proverb Proverbs chapter 18 I was trying to figure out well who wrote, Proverbs chapter 18 and it's kind of like flipping a coin, I found some results that said that it was in fact David I've had another results that said it was in fact Solomon, either way we're talking about a scripture that was probably written sometime between 715 to 686 BC, now wrap your head around that the the, younger number there are the lower number there is actually closer to us than the higher number because we're talking about BC, and then there's this kind of popular phrase that people use where. [42:29] He who has many friends has none or a Twist on that is a friend to all is a friend to none, and I was trying to figure out where that phrase came from because for heard that a lot, a lot enough that I thought maybe it was in the Bible which it's not and so I was trying to figure out well where does that phrase come from and that's actually attributed to the teachings of Aristotle, and. Pastor Newms: [43:01] Mmm. Pastor Bill: [43:02] This is this is one of those things where this is why I'm interested in and like you know that we you and I had talked about that circular chronological timeline thing you know, and then we looked at it and we were like this is way more expensive than either one of us wants to invest in a. Pastor Newms: [43:17] Oh yes no I know what you're talking about now yes yeah bill you might want to you might want to tap your phone or something for a second, you've been frozen for a. Pastor Bill: [43:32] Now am I good now. Pastor Newms: [43:35] No now you're catching up. Pastor Bill: [43:38] You've Got a Friend in Me. Pastor Newms: [43:40] There now we're caught up yep. Pastor Bill: [43:42] Okay my phone caught up so Aristotle and Aristotle actually lived, I have a pull up here somewhere Aristotle lived between 384 BC, and 322 BC which means by the time Aristotle was teaching. The, concept had already been written by King David or King Solomon three to four maybe five hundred years previously. And then Jesus wouldn't be born for another 300 years after that. And then Jesus gives us the ever-popular what is it John 15:13, no one has greater love than this to lay down his life for his. Pastor Newms: [45:10] Yes. Pastor Bill: [45:14] So we're talking about, friendship and that means a lot of different things to a lot of different people you know what is a friend and to me I've always been, um I've always been stingy with that title you know people will be like oh we're friends right and I'm like well, we're acquaintances what do you mean by that well, if you and I stopped working at the same place would we still be what you call friends, no I guess not Bolton we're not friends we're work we're work acquaintances we, this is a situational acquaintanceship, can you put these references in Facebook in the Facebook post so we can go back and reference yeah I'll put some links to Aristotle and to. [46:22] To an article here that I'm doing some cording from and what verses we talked about I'll put those on in the Facebook post that is this video, as a comment so people would ask me you know we're friends right and I'm like well I have we ever done anything outside of work if we stop working together would we still be friends, yeah h / Phoenix says no I mean the Bible verses and yeah I'll put the bubble versus two, um big sissy who help you move and that's, always a great indicator because some people physically can't help other people moves and other people will just show up for the free pizza. [47:12] But yeah there is a matters one of the concepts that. Matthew Henry was talking about in his assessment of, Proverbs 18:24 is it's not necessarily friendship as in, your relationship to your neighbor where you are a friendly but when you need something are they there to help are they there to support are they there to follow through, and you and I Newms we talk about friendship evangelism right, and you build a relationship with someone you build it to the point where they are a friend, and you open up those doors to where you can then impart the gospel to them you can then, you know take the next step of leading them towards Christ and I've seen you play this out in your industry. Excuse me you had that one friend from India and that was you know, that was friendship evangelism playing out you know right in front of her eyes. [48:35] And HPuffPhoenix says like big life events are they still there or not or you know when you go through a, mind altering event where your perspective has changed and you need the support of a friend, do they support you I know, best Something Phoenix can relate to with what's been going on in her life who can she count on to support her, when she gets going through all these things about her perspective on life and that's her deal to give him more information on if she wants I wouldn't want to get in for more information on that, just because I'm a personal kind of person but and things like, if you move across the country. [49:37] Are we still friends are we still going talk, are we still gonna you know what I mean and sometimes you can't I get that and with technology though nowadays it's a lot easier to maintain friendships from a distance, and I personally so let's get it let's put on our alternative Bible thinking hats on I personally believe, that David wrote Proverbs 18. And the reason I believe this is because I believe he is referencing here his Covenant relationship with, the son of Saul whom the Bible says that David love Jonathan more than any woman he'd ever loved and Jonathan loved David more than any woman he'd ever loved and that they were, more than friends to each other it doesn't say what that is but there is that One Moment In the bible where, I swear if it was in a movie you would be like that's where these characters are about to kiss I swear they're about to kiss and then they don't or at least it doesn't record that they did and you're like oh I could have swore that was getting all romantic. [51:04] You can do what you want to do with that but yeah I believe that's what he's talking about, there are relationships that you can have that you can choose these people who will be closer than blood family and that's awesome. Pastor Newms: [51:28] Yeah and it's definitely you have some you know it's kind of like there's always there's lots of statements about it, but it's like that whole you can't, you pick your friends you don't pick your family you know and then things like you know the, water friendship is stronger the water of the Covenant is stronger than the blood of, family where we get the blood is thicker than water statement from which is completely opposite of what the statement actually means but that's beside the point, but yeah. Pastor Bill: [52:14] I think blood is thicker than water is actually half of that statement. [52:23] Aren't they the same statement just people cut off 1/2 H Plus Phoenix asks me what weapon I'm wielding right now because she's watching the live video, which goes out live every Sunday evening at 6:30 Central Standard Time and then also on Sundays at, seven the audio version come on Wednesdays at 7:00 the audio version comes out but what I'm wielding is a back scratcher, it has a scratcher itself is a skeleton claw, but yeah it's great it's nice little back scratcher it's just a back scratcher. Hi Mr.Groggy says you should always love your family no matter what and I think. Pastor Newms: [53:10] Oh sorry. Pastor Bill: [53:11] Define family in different ways. Blood doesn't necessarily mean they're family to me Newms is my family I have much I instruct my kids to call him their uncle and I instruct my kids to call his kids cousins. Pastor Newms: [53:29] So yeah it starts. Pastor Bill: [53:30] I mean you should love everybody Groggy. Pastor Newms: [53:32] The blood of the Covenant is thicker than the water of the womb that's what. Pastor Bill: [53:36] Water of the womb. Pastor Newms: [53:45] Cuz it's supposed to be the blood of the Covenant meaning that covenants you make are thicker than, relational kind of like the the Frankie you know you can profit off of your family at any time me and me. Pastor Bill: [54:03] Deal is a deal the deal. Pastor Newms: [54:04] Yeah so, yes you always should love your family I agree and we should always be supportive of family. [54:22] But like Phoenix it said above you know sometimes we build our own Ohana but yeah you should always, love and support your family and you would hope that some of your closest friends come from your family even if they wait, even if it's you know 30 something years before you actually fully connect with them because you remember when they were 12 and annoying as opposed to, see ya cool individual they ended up growing up into you know not any real life examples for using right now. Pastor Bill: [54:59] So all on that same know we've talked not your note but what they're talking about on the chat we've talked about this in the past. Pastor Newms: [55:27] Oh yo Kelly on sorry. Pastor Bill: [55:35] All right Matthew 10:34 Jesus says, don't assume that I came to bring peace on Earth I did not come to bring peace but a sword for I came to turn a man against his father a daughter against her mother a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law and a Man's enemies, will be the members of his household, so you know we can be raised your family is more important than anybody and you should love your neighbor as yourself you know all these things but biblically, your family your blood family takes a back seat and what's in front of you is love and God, loving your neighbor and loving yourself and I guess some pushback sometimes on loving yourself but if you go read it how can you love your neighbor, as yourself if you don't love yourself it's just common sense that you have to love yourself in order to fulfill loving your neighbor, because if you hate yourself and then you go to love your neighbor as you love yourself when you get to the judgement Jesus is going to be like now you know that's not what I meant. [56:52] Newms would go well you know you're the one who made me a wise ass so we're even. Pastor Newms: [56:55] Maybe you should have beaten the scholars to have them actually write it correctly and we would have been fine, but he doesn't Force his will upon. Pastor Bill: [57:08] Of Phoenix's because of the whole all Christians are brothers and sisters or is that religious bull hockey, um so the teaching about brothers and sisters in the faith, most likely comes from a combining of the teachings to the ancient Israelites, that they were all brothers and sisters and then, the scriptures in the New Testament that talk about us being Heirs of Christ and if airs than co-heirs with Christ and combining those two concepts to go well if we're all heirs with Christ, that means that we're all brothers and sisters right and in Legally speaking no, you can designate anyone in your will to be your heir and there are. [58:08] Usually it's normal for there to be stipulations on that are Hood, um they must do this or because they did this or you know it's just not you don't just open a phone book and go there's a night that that person I'm going to make that person my are in my wheel, and so this is more of a, conglomerate of ideas that isn't necessarily wrong it's not necessarily bull but it's not point blank something that is taught in the scripture. Pastor Newms: [58:44] Go to Matthew 12 48 through 50 that might be part of the thought process also, as you were saying it's not going against what you said just that is a reference. Pastor Bill: [59:02] Yeah when Jesus family was waiting outside to speak to him and there were like you need to come out and speak to your family and he was like, who is my mother and who are my brothers, here are my mother and my brothers for whoever does the will of my Father in Heaven is my brother and sister and mother and that's more of a, familial otherwise we'd be calling her by mothers. Pastor Newms: [59:32] I call a lot of people mothers. Pastor Bill: [59:32] Lady says she never understood yeah never said how that worked for someone with types of depression and low self-esteem but have a servant's heart, do what you can't even in small ways to care for yourself the care for others more I don't matter what I don't matter what they need who they are matter more so the idea is. [59:56] Jesus wouldn't condone you remaining in an unhealthy state, for the sake of caring for someone else does that make sense like. [1:00:13] We talked about it well we've talked about in the past tithing is awesome you know I believe you should tie, I'm not going to say it's a law that you have to type well I believe you should tie but we've also had the discussion if you are on a fixed income and you were literally living off of your Social Security and it's not. [1:00:36] You know over and above what you need, you shouldn't be tithing you should be taking care of yourself right should be taken care of yourself so that you're healthy because you can't serve the Lord, if you're not healthy now that doesn't mean you have to be perfect like you talked about depression and low self-esteem and all these things, you don't have to be perfect to serve but at the same time you shouldn't be, starving yourself in order to feed your neighbor you need to make just make sure that you're fed and then feed your neighbor with your Surplus James says if you have one coat, that's good if you have two coats give the extra you don't give up the one coat that you have to take care of your neighbor, um John when John was baptizing he starts talking to the people this it's in the Book of John I know it is hold on I'm all ready to work for the from June. Pastor Newms: [1:01:47] And I think, part of what date he's talking about also is the struggle me and you have always you know when you say I get a lot of slack for saying, love your I think that's partially what she's talking about also you can't those of us that have a hard time loving ourselves but we have no problem loving, others because I struggle like the worst part about my week is actually this, because I have to look at myself and I hate looking at myself but I have to because the video feed comes from my computer so I've got to make sure it looks okay I hate looking at myself, so because of that you know but that you know that's neither here nor there and we've had that conversation as you said before about, we still have to try to continue to love ourselves because God said so. Pastor Bill: [1:02:53] Yes that's it's a commandment just as sacred as the Commandments to love your neighbor and the Commandment to love God. Pastor Newms: [1:03:10] And I do agree with what Zaidie just said there are some people that are extremely hard to love I was actually discussing yesterday with someone you know protesters that are protesting, inaccuracies are very hard to love and but, I'm supposed to show them love and not beat them for not agreeing with me, mr. groggy is not difficult to love that's that self-hatred that we were just talking about. Pastor Bill: [1:03:47] Yeah they were just talking about. Pastor Newms: [1:03:48] So Pastor Bill: [1:03:51] Yeah I had somebody on, Tick-Tock responded to one of my posts one of my comments about you say I have to love my neighbor, as myself but do I have to love them on a Saturday morning, when they're mowing their lawn at seven a.m. and I had a late night, and I replied and I said that sounds like one of those it's a good thing Jesus loves you because I'm having a hard time right now situations where you just need to roll over and try to go back to sleep. Pastor Newms: [1:04:25] Yeah. Pastor Bill: [1:04:31] Sorry I had this specific thing popped into my head and I was like yes we should I should read that and then I couldn't find where it is so now I've got to go find where it is and I don't want dead space But Here We Are. Pastor Newms: [1:04:45] That's why I'm just talking about random things while we await that. Pastor Bill: [1:04:52] Random our city Zoroastrians. Pastor Newms: [1:05:00] We're not that's not we're not talking about Zoroastrians today. Pastor Bill: [1:05:02] No but it I'm looking through you know certain things and try to find where I am. Pastor Newms: [1:05:10] I know just messing with you do do do do do do, do do do do so I got to say a funny thing did I tell you or did I tell the stream the story about the Dragonite and the Charmander behind me or did I just tell you. [1:05:33] So right here my Builders of that passage there's a there's. Pastor Bill: [1:05:37] He's like I did I told you. Pastor Newms: [1:05:38] Charmander and a charmeleon and their Build-A-Bears because I love Build-A-Bear and these two are two of the ones that are actually mine well my wife you need to use that printer that's under them, and so she put them on the floor so they were on the floor for a couple days and then I was fixing to do something and, I wanted them back here so I I said Dragonite. [1:06:06] Dragonite and Charmander why are you correcting me Phoenix anyway so I put them on the floor. [1:06:17] And I picked up the Charmander it was fine the Dragon Knight had its Hood up, because it's got this little cute hood that came with it because it's supposed to be like a Christmas Version or something so it's sitting on the corner sitting down there on the floor and Kaiju the 55-pound black lab, decided that for some reason the Dragonite was actually going to attack me, and so as I got close to it oh, sorry I did not mean to say that thank you for correcting me that it is not a term million because it is not as Dragonite so I reach for the, she starts growling like cause she thinks as I'm reaching towards it it's going to bite me, and I'm like no baby look they're stuffed and and she still just stared at it like, no daddy that think that one's alive and you're like no baby and and then she realized, it was stuffed and and then asked if she could play with them which she was told of course no because she's a lab and, can't are straight through a stuffed animal like that um so did you find your verse yay. Pastor Bill: [1:07:40] Okay so we're in Luke chapter 3 starting in verse 7 it's John the Baptist, speaking it says he then said to the crowds who came out to be baptized by him brood of vipers who warned you to flee from the coming Wrath, therefore produce fruit consistent with repentance and don't start saying to yourselves we have Abraham as our father, for I tell you that God is able to raise up children for Abraham from these Stones the ax is already at the root of the trees therefore every tree that does not produce good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire, what then should we do the crowds were asking him he replied to them the one who has two shirts must share with someone who has none and the one who has food must do the same, and then he goes on to talk about tax collector should only collect what they've been authorized to collect which was a big problem at the time, soldiers shouldn't bribe and. Frame people in order to take money from them they should be satisfied with their wages for their work. Right there you know even John. [1:09:09] Has a different kind of ministry than Jesus does obviously Jesus would give you the shirt off his back he gave the skin off of it too soon too soon for those kind of jokes, it's been 2000 years it's it's not time yet but John's like if you've got two shirts you know and you only need one give you a shirt somebody who doesn't have any, if you've got more food than you can eat and it's gonna go bad give the fruit of this going to go bad to those who don't have any. Pastor Newms: [1:09:45] Yep. Pastor Bill: [1:09:47] It's the same concept if you're struggling with depression like I do Newms as so many people do. You can't give up working on yourself working on loving yourself, only focus on loving others and continue to stay hurting I'm not saying that, depression is curable, because obviously it's not I'm not saying that something's wrong with you cuz you're not trying hard enough you're not doing it right nothing else things I'm saying that everyone deserves to be loved, and chief amongst those people who should be trying to love you is you. [1:10:39] And then you should love your neighbor if you are self sacrificing and then hurting and hating yourself, in order to love your neighbor better than yourself, then you're hurting yourself not loving yourself and then you're still not following the Commandment that Jesus made we have to be healthy not perfect, healthy is it Direction not on arrival. And that's what I have to say about that you have anything you want to add on Newms. Pastor Newms: [1:11:25] No Pastor Bill: [1:11:32] Chat Groggy, Phoenix, Zaidie, Biggs, Roxanne you guys have anything you want to add. Give it a couple seconds for them to even hear me ask the question, do do do do can't tell if anybody's type. Pastor Newms: [1:11:52] Now you. Pastor Bill: [1:11:54] Because they type on another platform and then they hit you know enter. [1:12:02] HPuffPhoenix says peace be with you and I guess in my reply is and with you and May the odds be ever in your favor. [1:12:15] Why are you doing the Vulcan greeting and then saying nanu nanu. [1:12:27] All right so that's all we have for tonight, be sure to join us on Sunday evenings at 6:30 Central Standard Time piss at that's in the p.m. prime meridian, and live long and prosper and if you listen to our podcast the audio version obviously with a transcription that comes out on Wednesday nights at 7:00 p.m. And so you can you can listen that anywhere that you listen to podcasts, you can see us live as we record these episodes on Sunday nights on Facebook YouTube and twitch, and you can also be a part of the conversation via the chat interface like you've heard of this reference multiple times to this episode people who were joining the conversation through those platforms. [1:13:15] So if you live in, India or Portugal or one of the other places where they passed a law for mandatory vaccinations, I recommend capitulation with the direction that your leaders have made law, also I recommend that when those people come to your door with those vaccinations to vaccinate you that you remember that those are people, going door to door and those countries not evil monsters I don't want to see any more of these videos of you guys taking swings and, having to be held down by groups of people in order for civil servants to carry out the law of the land, personally if they mandated the vaccine in the United States I would take the vaccine because they mandated it because, I believe the Bible tells me to follow the laws of the land and I'd rather die upholding my morals, um not saying you will die if you get a vaccine Newms has had the vaccine his wife instead the vaccine either perfectly healthy my mother's had that scene she's perfectly healthy well you know what I mean in the terms of. Pastor Newms: [1:14:43] The vaccine didn't cause any new issues. Pastor Bill: [1:14:47] Yes that's what I'm talking about I'm not trying to cause Zach scene hesitancy in any way just you know make a wise decision do what's right for you do what's right for your family if they mandate it, I'll get it I would rather die upholding my principles of yes I followed Romans 13 to my best understanding of it, then to live knowing that I had bought what I thought the Bible taught me was the right thing to do so all right, huh Mr.Groggy says he got a third arm when he got his vaccination so I'm gonna go ahead and put that in the category of misinformation, and we'll do it. Pastor Newms: [1:15:31] Funny thing is is Mister groggy actually works in the pharmaceutical industry, so it's even funnier with you know that cuz it's like oh dude mmm anyway. Pastor Bill: [1:15:47] So now we move on to our 30-second buffer because some of these platforms require it and actually last week, you said my catchphrase at the very end, and I was like dude why did you say my catchphrase why'd you say until next time after I said until next time and you said so it will be on there except then you didn't wait long enough to cut the stream and it dropped. Pastor Newms: [1:16:14] Just me being a butt.

Pastor Newms: [3:47] Hello the best 13:17 appears to be one of my cousins. Pastor Bill: [3:55] The best 1317 like Macallan 1317. [4:03] McCallum it's the it's a scotch.

Pastor Bill: [5:12] Hello and welcome to season 3 episode 33 of The Berean Manifesto. Tonight we are hanging out, we're answering questions we are getting into deep theological discussions Maybe. Pastor Newms: [5:28] About book. Pastor Bill: [5:30] If that happens that comes up it may not, um it's Father's Day Newms is a father I'm a father we're kind of taking it easy Newms had a family reunion this week and I, set up my lovely workspace with my new desk and my new shelves that my wife got me for my Father's Day present and I redid my rug so it's not all you know hanging loose. Pastor Newms: [5:53] And you hung the free hugs where everyone can actually see him that's the T-shirt he wears. Pastor Bill: [5:58] And I hug my. Pastor Newms: [5:59] When we do ministry. Pastor Bill: [6:00] Sure yeah this is a t-shirt we've been wearing we do ministry we're going to design a new one for the next the next Pride that we actually have, um because that's two prior as in a row that they canceled, and so yeah this is a shirt I cut up my shirt and mounted it on a canvas and hung it and then I don't know if you can see this. This is our determination letter from the IRS, that makes our church a church in the eyes of the government. Pastor Newms: [6:32] Yeah it was fun the family reunions was real good, it's enjoyable soft family some we like some we don't like families family who knows, it was very interesting some of the conversations I had oh excuse me, I don't know is the Dallas Pride canceled Biggs is asking. Pastor Bill: [6:57] Dallas pride is cancelled what they're doing instead is you're just having a concert, One concert where everyone will be social distancing and wearing masks and that's all they're doing. There's no vendors there's no you know any opportunity for any of that and then hopefully next year we'll be able to have a face to face Pride event where we can go out and spread the love of God and let people know that we love them. Pastor Newms: [7:38] Unless you come to Nashville in September. Pastor Bill: [7:43] Is Nashville having their Pride in September? Well I mean you didn't send me any information so we wouldn't have a booth but. Pastor Newms: [7:53] We could still go. Pastor Bill: [7:54] You could you can send me information and we can get a booth probably still. Pastor Newms: [7:59] I'm not sure how we would work a booth because we can't you have to bring everything and that be really complicated. Pastor Bill: [8:06] Well I'm sure you have an Academy there and we can just go get a 10 by 10 foot you know there's like a hundred bucks for one of those so. Pastor Newms: [8:17] H puff Phoenix will be sending you all the pride. Pastor Bill: [8:21] HPuffPhoenix is going to send me the. Pastor Newms: [8:23] Because whether you come or not I'm going so, it's really either way you really should probably send me some cards I'm gonna need some of those either way, I'm going. Pastor Bill: [8:45] It wouldn't be a bad idea I mean that's one of the things that's in you know my heart and it's in the heart of this ministry to reach out and it started with um the Holy Spirit really bring to my attention to the suicide numbers for that demographic and it really just kind of blossomed from there my earlier in life I was I was I was I was homophobic for sure. Pastor Newms: [9:23] Uh-huh. Pastor Bill: [9:25] Didn't want to be in Ministry to that community that that demographic didn't have anything to do with it. Pastor Newms: [9:32] Several demographics actually but that one also. Pastor Bill: [9:36] And then as time got has gone by the Lord's worked on my heart and and you know and I've gone through this transformation in knowing you know that the Lord wants me to be doing Ministry in this area and so that's what we've done. We've reached out and we've made ourselves available and gone to Pride twice in Dallas and done Ministry because I mean we walk what we talked and we preach love and so we love. Pastor Newms: [10:11] Some of us better than others. Pastor Bill: [10:15] Does it hurt you as much as it does me that people post videos about Christians being anti LGBT or sermons where they preach just stupid stuff about being anti LGBT and in the like the number one comment is a no hate like Christian love, does that bug you as much as it bugs me. Pastor Newms: [10:42] Um yes. Pastor Bill: [10:42] Because I'm like that's not that's not love and I and it hurts my heart that you've been hurt by Christians who claim to love it just hurts me so much. Pastor Newms: [10:54] And that's the big thing about it it's not necessarily just the fact of these people are so stupid it's the fact that the commenters have been so hurt we have sadly we've sadly. Pastor Bill: [11:07] That's what hurts me is that they have a right to say that. Pastor Newms: [11:16] I did not see real Christians forgive like Jesus billboard but that's a good one yeah like Heather said. Pastor Bill: [11:24] Phoenix see ya. Pastor Newms: [11:26] Like HPuffPheonix said. Pastor Bill: [11:29] She's had her own experiences in this area lately and so she can relate to that comment and that's what honestly irks me is that is a, completely Justified comment and I'm like I I I want to hug you and I want to let you know that, we're not all like that some of us actually love and aren't hung up on, our own deficiencies too much to see past our theology, to actually love you and to question my theology actually accurately biblical, or have I learned things out of context and need to put them back into Biblical context. Pastor Newms: [12:16] Yeah and that's a big one a big one is so many people and they don't look at the aspect of the Berean lifestyle you know as Paul teaches you know be like the Bereans because they actually, tested what they heard and took it back to the Bible and if it didn't line up with the Bible they say okay that's not right. Pastor Bill: [12:41] Let's be honest he didn't say Bible he said scriptures. Pastor Newms: [12:44] Well yes he said. Pastor Bill: [12:46] Where I want to I don't want to drop in some confusion and anyone that might be listening to this and go wait Paul said Bible also the word bible. Pastor Newms: [12:55] That'd be really weird. Pastor Bill: [12:57] It would be really weird. Pastor Newms: [12:58] Since it didn't exist yet yeah and it's an English word so be really really weird. Pastor Bill: [13:06] It would be really really weird yeah. Pastor Newms: [13:09] No actually we're what is the root of Bible. Pastor Bill: [13:13] It's a biblio of it's a Latin word. Pastor Newms: [13:18] So it's Latin okay. Pastor Bill: [13:20] It's a Latin word that did you literally just means book pretty much but in this case we would we would say the book. [13:33] You looking it up you googling it the etymology of the word bible always agree. Pastor Newms: [13:35] Yeah it's actually it is from it is from Greek meaning the books. Pastor Bill: [13:42] Books plural gotcha. Pastor Newms: [13:45] It had the literal meaning of scroll so. Pastor Bill: [14:01] Bigle did you mean Bible b.i.b.l.e. Pastor Newms: [14:06] Yes that's the book for me I Stand Alone. [14:16] First you're going to tear the pages because they're always leather and you're going to. Pastor Bill: [14:20] Yeah you shouldn't be standing on books that's not good for books. Pastor Newms: [14:23] Now there's something that I always have an issue with I love books, anyone who knows me very well knows I love books I have boxes of books in the house right now because I still haven't built all of the bookshelves necessary to hold everything in this house so. Um so I always struggle with that when people are like, I don't write in my Bible and I'm I always go and not because there's anything it's not like the Bible special you shouldn't write in it that's not the reason it's just like why did you write the book you know I have workbook. Pastor Bill: [15:24] So are sacrificing there. Pastor Newms: [15:27] II have workbooks. Pastor Bill: [15:29] Books. Pastor Newms: [15:30] Yeah I have I have work I have work books that have sheets, of paper in them because certain workbooks I was like this isn't feel like a workbook so I'm not writing in it I've gotten over. Pastor Bill: [15:46] Did you do with the Divine Easter devotional that I made that one year did you not right in that. [15:56] Really okay. Pastor Newms: [15:56] It's on a bookshelf now there are some books I have written in over the years some I don't really have a problem with and I don't really know why, but some just don't feel like they should be written in if the pages don't feel right I won't write in it. Pastor Bill: [16:21] Mmm I definitely write in my Bible I'll write any book I don't care but mainly my Bible I write when in when I read something and I feel like, I've received Holy Spirit and inspiration you know I'll write it in the margin, and then if I come back across that, and I'm like oh I felt like this before if I feel like well that was definitely my ego that was definitely pride those I'm gonna flush whatever I'll mark it out. My spirits still confirms that that's accurate then I'll leave it and that's you know that's one of the things that I do and I mean you can look at my this is a Bible I use most often you can't really you don't really see much because that doesn't happen all the time it happens you know infrequently but it does have. Pastor Newms: [17:18] Yeah I've got notebooks just tons of notebooks. Pastor Bill: [17:22] The one Bible I won't write in, is my copy of the Geneva Bible the 1599 Geneva Bible the version that the pilgrims brought with them on the Mayflower I'll highlight in this Bible, but I don't write in this Bible and I love this translation because it isn't, influenced by the King James and it's translation this was translated before the King James was and the King James translation was written was was, what kicked off The King James translation party as it were was that King James was upset that people were using this Bible, instead of something that he had signed off on, and so that that was the final straw and why he started having his own bible translated, and so I love this translation I don't read from it all the time but I do reference it if I find a discrepancy, between the King James and my CSB and then my going back to the Greek or the Hebrew doesn't Define it well enough for me. [18:47] I'll reference my Geneva to see, you know what am I talking about what am I looking at what was King James the King of King James was the King of England. Pastor Newms: [18:59] Which would the Church of England also makes him the head of the church correct. Pastor Bill: [19:05] Right which is a completely different issue he founded the Church of England before he, started his translation work, because he was upset at the Catholic church for overriding his, his laws and his authority and, and the church was like well we have the authority of God because we're the church and he was like but I have the authority of God because I'm the king and they were like Well church Trump's King and he was like okay, I'll just declare myself the Church of England and me the head of the church and so now I'm the church. Pastor Newms: [19:50] James became king of Scotland in. Pastor Bill: [20:00] You know what maybe was Henry that made the king of the Church of England Biggs said he thought that. Pastor Newms: [20:05] Yeah I think it's Henry that did the. [20:15] James was the King of Scotland from 1567 to 1625 and the King of England England from 1603 to 1625. Pastor Bill: [20:26] Hey I think you're right I think it was Henry I think my brain lumped it into James but that's not right it is Henry but brains are like that memory is like that sometime. Pastor Newms: [20:41] The Church of England was founded in 1534 definitely before. Pastor Bill: [20:46] So definitely not James. It was more than Biggs says because he could not divorce his wife and a lot of historians paint it that way but that was literally only about this much of it that wasn't the whole story. Pastor Newms: [21:03] Henry the 8th in 1534 and of course this says because of his annulment to, so then he. Then pulled it to the Church of England. Pastor Bill: [21:29] Henry took a lot of women's heads, one of his wives he beheaded her because she gave birth to a daughter instead of a son, I'm like, give her another chance bro. Pastor Newms: [21:50] King James started the project in 1604 and the first trip the first published was of course 1611. Pastor Bill: [22:00] And the Geneva Bible was published in 1599. Pastor Newms: [22:04] And it was just the new version would help consolidate political power is what historians believe. Pastor Bill: [22:12] Now granted, the Geneva Bible was not in the language that it is in right now and neither was the King James Bible but both the King James Bible and the Geneva Bible were written in old English and if you want to know what old English looks like because it's really hard to find a copy of the Bible in Old English, go look for a copy of the Canterbury Tales in Old English and that'll give you an idea of what English was like in the time of King James. Pastor Newms: [22:48] I've seen some you know in museums and stuff copies of it and they'll have it open and it's it's to me especially being dyslexic it's unreadable. Pastor Bill: [23:00] It is it is it is unreadable it really is. [23:12] It's pretty close like the word Jesus isn't pronounced Jesus it's EOsus and it's spelled Ioesus, um in English that's English, now we call it Old English because since then we've replaced all the English with the queen's English which is what, modern King James bibles are translated into and what The Geneva Bible is translated into is the queen's English and then from there we got English which does what, British people speak right now which is a slang version of the queen's English and we have American English which is. Pastor Newms: [24:03] It's a language we'll leave it at that. Pastor Bill: [24:04] Melting Pot language it's just a bunch of languages that we pulled everything together and borrowed from to make a whole different version of English. Pastor Newms: [24:14] It's a something is what it is. Pastor Bill: [24:16] But Phoenix says Canterbury Tales gives me British literature Nightmares From culinary, I agree Canterbury Tales in the original language will get anyone nightmares when you hear it spoken especially it is, terrifying Old English is it's terrifying to here, at least for me. Pastor Newms: [24:46] It doesn't it messes with your brain because it's close but not there so it feels like an alien trying to speak your language. Pastor Bill: [24:57] Well it almost feels like Roman and German and English just like imploaded into each other. Pastor Newms: [25:07] I mean that's basically what happened. Pastor Bill: [25:12] That's what happened but it actually sounds like it, when you're when you're speaking American English in your borrowing words from you know Latin and Spanish and German you don't actively understand that but when you hear Old English, and you know and you know you know enough of these Roman and Germanic and languages and you can actually feel you know. It's this it's crazy it's this mishmash of insanity. Pastor Newms: [25:44] It's a little weird yeah I will. Pastor Bill: [25:48] All right so we may be, not having an official night but we're still going to know do Get To Know The Pastor's so come back we'll get everybody involved not just you and me we get everybody in the check ball two. Pastor Newms: [26:06] I can't go any farther from when I baby sat Liby the cages is still in my office so this is as far as I can escape. Pastor Bill: [26:17] You did. Pastor Newms: [26:18] I can only Escape I didn't think it through and then when I got there I went. Pastor Bill: [26:27] Okay you ready what's the worst job you've ever had. Pastor Newms: [26:36] Can I answer for you. Pastor Bill: [26:43] Um I've got to but yeah go ahead. Pastor Newms: [26:45] Walmart specifically in that little Podunk town that was terrible, where the store manager was completely insane and broke all the rules. Yeah thank you HPuffPhoenix that's a good point Libby is a dog I should clarify that. Pastor Bill: [27:14] We have a cage when we were babysitting. Pastor Newms: [27:18] Thank you H Puff Phoenix. Pastor Bill: [27:22] I didn't even think about it that yeah think about it. Pastor Newms: [27:28] I don't have any people that would be in cages running around I don't want to try to explain since we have young ones here what any of those terms might be I would love I would love for you to have to explain that later though if I used any other terms. Pastor Bill: [27:49] That would be interesting, okay so Biggs asks paid or unpaid job either just any job responsibilities that you have so let me you're right but let me before I say anything further about that, my experience with this employer WalMart was my personal and shouldn't be taken as any reflection of judgment or claims, against the largest employer in the world who can sue my butt off for ages. Pastor Newms: [28:31] No and because. Pastor Bill: [28:32] It should have no reflection on the corporation. Pastor Newms: [28:34] And what's crazy about that I will say is he still talking but we can't hear him sorry we'll give him a second to come back are you back now, you did you left right about here. Pastor Bill: [28:52] Let me make sure I'm not on the Wi-Fi, I'm not. Pastor Newms: [29:00] So for me Walmart wasn't my worst job I loved it was great, and so when you tried to get a job there you were like oh this is going to be good and I'm like that's why I said for a bad store manager because I worked for a store managers that was awesome. Pastor Bill: [29:22] By the time I was coming to the end of my term at Walmart it was so bad, that I literally would walk in the front door and become so nauseated the first thing I would do before I clocked in was go throw up. And then I would go clock in, it was that it was really, really bad, and it wasn't so much the customers the customers, I mean they were just normal customers they have needs yeah they're not the brightest sometimes because they'd be like hey help me find, but yeah like you said having a store manager that did everything wrong I mean he would literally come around the store with his little cart pushing his car man and give us a notes on things that needed to be done. [30:32] And you do the things on your notes and then he follow up after lunch and spend 10 minutes swearing at you. Because you did the thing that he told you to do on your note and now he's saying that's wrong you should never do that, we don't do that here and I'm like. I literally just did what's in your the note that you gave me this morning I can literally word for word what you wrote in your notes, so that was my Walmart experience and then number two for me was once again not reflective on the whole Corporation but McDonald's. [31:18] I worked at McDonald's for 3 days I worked flipping burgers for three days, and by that I mean. [31:30] I'm standing there and they want me to flip burgers that are on a surface that I could Bend like this to get to, and I'm bending down this freezer pull out meat to put on this thing and then push this button and it goes down which is supposed to fully cook them, or at least cook them most of the way and then you're supposed to transfer the heating trays but ours didn't quite work right, so after I push the button and it went down once then I had to flip them literally flip them and press the button again, cook them again and then put them in the trays and ever so often I would have to do it a third time, because you literally they were literally still pink, um like uh not even fully thawed yet pink and hard still after two times of using the, heated press and on the third day when my shift manager came over and wanted to have the conversation about, you know you're a great employee and in 6 months I want to get you into the management training program and you could make up to nine dollars an hour. [32:49] That was the last straw that was my okay my back hurts constantly I'm burned all over my arms from this this thing, you're talking about a future where I can look forward to maxing out at nine dollars an hour I'm done. Pastor Newms: [33:06] So I've been sitting here trying to think. I've had jobs that had bad situations but no bad jobs overall jobs that turned into bad, but I'd probably have to say it was working for the prison software that was probably the worst just. Pastor Bill: [33:46] It wasn't calling Baptist Churches to try to get them to send their kids to an Acquire The Fire. Pastor Newms: [33:54] No I don't think it was because the job wasn't bad the people were just really really rude to someone who believed the same thing they did mostly, so now I don't think that was the job but the, just the actual but that job was bad because of the it started off being a little bit of micromanagement and I was like okay I'm new cool and then after, what was it for years it never changed and so at a certain point it was like okay I'm done, and so I moved to Tennessee um so yeah. Pastor Bill: [34:42] Zadie says but that wasn't a job is she talking about you or she's talking about what I said about your ministry assignment. Pastor Newms: [34:49] What you said because it was yeah she's saying what you said because it was a. Pastor Bill: [34:56] No it was definitely a job. [35:05] All right so Biggs on Twitch says washing big electric cabinets with powerwash spraying acid, that sounds terrifying. Pastor Newms: [35:20] How old were you at that point Biggs? Like would that even be legal at this point the kind of acid wash they used back then because I know it was like the 1500 s. Pastor Bill: [35:34] The fifteen hundreds, Biggs was 18. Pastor Newms: [35:38] Yeah 18 so that was 1392 so I mean it yeah I can see that. Pastor Bill: [35:45] Biggs is not older than the United States of America come on man. Pastor Newms: [35:54] No but some of his family members might be. Pastor Bill: [35:58] Oh You would know you were just spending time with them. Pastor Newms: [36:03] And by the way just in case you're wondering the Matt that is joining us the best, he's in the good part and actually only lives about you know a little ways away from here so it's good cuz, we're going to start a oh he's being mean now. Pastor Bill: [36:32] He is being mean he calling you old. Pastor Newms: [36:34] Cuz that means that is true I was born when he was 20 supposedly but I don't know if vampires when they have children they age in the same way. Pastor Bill: [36:43] Twenty hundred Maybe. Pastor Newms: [36:44] Maybe. So and then HPuffPhoenix said the same thing you said but for a different reason she said McDonald's because of the customers because she wrote wrote, sheep was. Can I try that one again we'll just cut that out and post that we don't do, it'll do any post but post know we're live we're not playing this game. Pastor Bill: [37:30] This is a live man. Pastor Newms: [37:31] Oh yeah I forgot, she worked the drive-thru most of the time so she mm yeah. Pastor Bill: [37:46] Now on the opposite side what about good jobs like what's the best job. Is it really. Pastor Newms: [38:04] For me it is because and here's the reason why all of my jobs have ended really really weirdly, except for Walmart actually Walmart ended because I transitioned out to focus on school, but all of them, ended because I chose to because of the situations except for one and, and that one, is just real, bad situation from beginning to end but I enjoyed the work, so I that one I don't even think I could begin to answer I love the company I am currently working for because what they do is awesome, Heather sorry HPuffPhoenix said in her message where she currently works I can't it's names are hard for me. Pastor Bill: [39:09] Yeah so when I hear when I hear HPuff or read heads pathetic say that and hear you say that I'm like looking for a raise huh. Pastor Newms: [39:19] No my eval already. Pastor Bill: [39:20] Get now is the best job I've ever had. Pastor Newms: [39:23] No my evals already come through and sadly it was really it'll cause, the healthcare has gone through a rough time with covid let's just um when your main when your main basis is elective care surgeries and then, elective care surgeries I'll get cancelled for almost a year. Pastor Bill: [39:47] Yeah. Pastor Newms: [39:48] But no the reason I like to company I currently work for is because they offer a payment program, and our medical system is so messed up we all need payment programs to actually pay for any of our services because none of us can ever afford actual Healthcare. Pastor Bill: [40:08] Yeah. Pastor Newms: [40:09] And it's at zero percent interest the patient doesn't get charged anything extra, the hospital doesn't get charged anything extra and it doesn't go on their anyone's credit score and I haven't been someone who went through bankruptcy because of medical bills, because of that but in Heather loves it because I saw Phoenix loves it because she, she can see Ellen insurance companies all day she's great at her job and it's really funny because she's really sweet, to the to the patients they'll if they get through to her that she should go well I'll head definitely take care of you everything's going to be fine let me put you on a brief hold give me just one moment and then like with like the people at the clinics it's like oh yes we'll definitely let me put you on a brief let me step by step by step but we just need to answer a couple but about that but you know super sweet and then she gets on with these insurance companies that aren't paying for medicine that these people need because they're going through kidney failure you know and it's like, yes but the temperature butter this is dated and then all of a sudden it's like well. [41:31] What you don't understand is and like you don't I don't know what she says ninety-nine percent of the time, because it's that attitude it's real sweet it's real calm it's really everything's fine everything's great and then you just hear from the other just the uptick and you're like insurance company said, and Heather Phoenix is protecting her patients so. Pastor Bill: [42:00] That's funny all right so for me I got to again, um and I'm going to tell you what the name you know the companies are but I'm in a preface this with, it wasn't about the companies for me and it wasn't about what the companies did for me, it was being in positions that challenged me and that kept my focus varied, and gave me the ability to multitask, you know I've got this project and I've got this project and I'm trying to balance the time and make sure it's all working and I've got metrics that I can plug things into and make sure it all balances and so for me, adding all of that to do where I'm not bored and I've got multi things going on so. [43:03] Um being the marketing director there I had to do I had to be cash here add to B marketing director I had to be team lead shift lead all that at the same time, so basically doing all of the running of the restaurant not actually being responsible for running the restaurant that was that was the actual, franchisees job she did a great job her and her husband they ran it great but I was there to do anything that they needed to do while they weren't there I could step in, and do that and so that was really fulfilling for me I really like that despite, how that ended where I was like you know I either need more money and less hours or I'm gonna have to start looking for a different job. [43:58] And that really poisoned the relationship I had with the franchise owner, she didn't take that in the spirit that I was intended she took that as an insult or as a leveraging technique which it really wasn't I was just being honest you know this is what's going on, and I'm going to have to look for a new job and if I find something I'll give you two weeks-notice once I find something and so everything was just weren't real downhill from there, so despite that ending you know and the other job, you know for all the same reasons that I listed was when I went back to work for Teen Mania after I left Gateway, or with separate from Gateway or however you want to say that I went back to work for Teen Mania and while that was a brief. [44:57] Time because that ship was already sinking, um it really you know did all those things multiple fires and had to juggle and you know all that stuff so, that that was that was what it was this for me. [45:28] Where do we go from here. Pastor Newms: [45:31] Well so. How was your week we haven't even done this part yet. Pastor Bill: [45:44] Oh man well I got my desks in. And then realize well I had enough space for the desks I didn't make enough space for me in my chair, so then I had to get a little creative and the way that I put in the desks. Pastor Newms: [46:07] I thought we I thought you measured that first. Pastor Bill: [46:10] I didn't measure me I measured the space and I was like well this gives me space to walk in and out. But I didn't consider the size of my chair and the size of me sitting in the chair and doing this and all of that so. Had to be arranged a little bit but I got to desks so I have a little shit going on and those are working great, and then I got these lovely shelves this week this is my Father's Day present from my wife I went on Amazon and I was like, you know sent her a list I said I like this and I like this and she was like those are only shelves and I was like yeah but they're two different kind of shelves you get to pick which one, so I opened that yesterday and put those up so I could you know put all my stuff on it and you can't see oh so fine. [47:14] Bottom shelf is knickknacks and then the next shelf is a cup few knickknacks and the, religious books that I reference from time to time one of them is the complete collections of Smith Wigglesworth, which I really like The Geneva Bible and the other one I don't really agree with everything that she teaches but it's the complete collections, Maria Woodworth Ettor, I like to reference it sometimes just to get an opposing Viewpoint you know it's not that she's unbiblical in her beliefs it's just that theological we don't always agree, and that's okay that's not a problem for me you know all that does is challenge me too. [48:09] To find you know what I actually believe and why I believe it which is good and then my third shelf, I've got I love this this is a 50th Anniversary Edition TARDIS Doctor Who Tardis that my wife got me used to be a bauble that made noise but um, Finnick made sure that it would never do that anymore and then I've got a couple of Doctor Who books from the time the time lord Victorious series that I still need to read but reading has become an issue for me lately and then I've got A Princess of Mars which is the beginning of Edgar Rice Burroughs Barsoom series, and then I've got At The Earths Core which is the beginning of Edgar Rice Burroughs. [49:03] Pelucidar series and then I've got the ever life shattering Lungbarrow, which is the Doctor Who book that came out in the 80s that redefined the canon of Doctor Who and forever shaped, Doctor Who lore and everything has built upon that since then even the new twists that they've released in Doctor Who in these recent seasons have been inspired by this novel, last I checked there were only a few copies of that left and the cheapest you could get one for was a hundred and seven dollars. Pastor Newms: [50:10] Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo ba he searches. Pastor Bill: [50:13] Cheapest you can get it in paperback right now is 200 dollars. Pastor Newms: [50:18] Nice. Pastor Bill: [50:21] So that that up there on top of my shelf and when I asked for it was one of those shoot for the moon you know quests and then my mom found one for like 20 bucks, and got it for me and I was like I didn't expect that to ever okay awesome. That will shoot for the my prayer request I had no idea. Pastor Newms: [50:55] I think you even cried a little. [51:02] I mean not to front you but I'm pretty sure you did so. Pastor Bill: [51:11] Definitely been a grams my mama she she's something else so. I'll show you the book as it looks like this. All right so that's what happened this week with me a lot of, labor and then I had to go through my filing cabinet and get rid of everything that I had you know. I have hoarder tendencies, so I went through my filing cabinet and threw away a 13 gallon trash bag worth of stuff from my filing cabinet and it's just a three drawer cabinet it's literally sitting underneath this desk right here and is only like 14 inches wide but it was stuffed to the brim with things and, is not important. Pastor Newms: [52:23] You have to you have to purge every now and then it is very important I learned that at a certain point in life and I don't like it, at all not even a little and I'm really really really really really really bad at it but my loving wife Zadie is much, better at it than I am and. Pastor Bill: [53:05] And what would they audit, I don't I don't have enough money to spend enough money to make an audit last more than a few minutes I don't even know what they would be auditing I'd be like, here you go here's all my bank statements for the year yes it's only 24 pages that is all the bank statements for the whole year, here you go. Pastor Newms: [53:32] It is true. Pastor Bill: [53:38] You just throw it all away well everything's digital now I mean you throw away receipts are all digital. Stores are like would you like a receipt and I'm like yeah I'm pretty sure my bank statements just going to tell me what you charged me so. Unless I'm buying it from some place I said I think I might need to return this at some point. Then I don't need your piece of tree you can just say that. Pastor Newms: [54:11] I like the email option and then it goes to my email and then I don't look at it ever and forget to clean that email out. Pastor Bill: [54:21] It bugs me when I go to Sam's and all I buy is like what's the word, consumables all I buy is consumables so it's not something I'm going to bring back and you get to the cash register and they're like would you like a printed receipt, or would you like it printed and emailed so either way I'm gonna have to take a receipt. Pastor Newms: [54:46] Well would you like me to tell you why. Pastor Bill: [54:50] I would like to explain yeah so many of these explain to me why they scan the receipt and a couple of your items at the door. Pastor Newms: [54:57] Oh no that that that's just for are you walking out with something, verification that's what I'm talking about I'm talking about the actual reason for certain receipting and how the receipting is done so the government actually dictates how receipts have to look and in what ways you can share them and depending on what you can buy, depends on how the receipt has to look so like places that sell, gift cards and things like that their receipts have to have specific language on them depending on the state and federal government and so because of that it's, certain states require a printed receipt so some companies just print the receipt every time because it's cheaper than trying to figure out are you a consumer from that state it's not a requirement based on where you're at it's a requirement based on where you are a current resident and so because of that it's very interesting. Pastor Bill: [56:10] Biggs is like or now. Pastor Newms: [56:13] You can thank two states for that but I'm not going to name them because they're mean. [56:22] And you can thank money launderers. Pastor Bill: [56:26] Juneteenth is a Federal holiday now. Pastor Newms: [56:30] Oh really. Pastor Bill: [56:32] Yeah it's Friday they voted on Thursday they officially voted to make Juneteenth a Federal holiday and then this year it was observed on Friday, you know celebrated Saturday, and so all federal buildings were closed on Friday all businesses that observe federal holidays were supposed to be closed on Friday, um and I thought you know I never want to be the white savior guy that's not who I am I'm an ally I'm a friend I will back you up you call the play, and I'll be there you know you say black lives matter and we need representation I'm the guy that goes you tell me what my responsibility is to back you up there I'm not the guy going around going, you know you're not representing them correctly that's not me I'm the Ally I meant you know you tell me what I'm supposed to be doing to back you up I'm there and I thought this was a good thing I thought you know finally the federal government is represent you know is Right is recognizing Juneteenth and if you don't know what Juneteenth is, it is the day that. [57:52] The slave owners in Texas officially received word, two years after the freeing of the slaves, um that, slavery was now illegal in the United States of America and had to let their slaves free and I said had to because that's actually how it went down, they were not willingly setting them free in Texas there were other states that, willingly Texas that was not a thing Texas they had to be forced so Juneteenth is this, this Landmark beginning of this march to equality some people say it's you know two years earlier when it started, saying you need to set all your slaves free is it isn't really the actual start it's the point, all of that is actually enforced is the word starts so to me Juneteenth is the beginning of that march to equality, but I've seen a lot of videos on Tic-Tok where like I said I'm an ally you tell me where to go and I've seen a lot of videos where a lot of people in the. What am I supposed to say now is it black or African-American or. Pastor Newms: [59:17] Just say community in that community. Pastor Bill: [59:20] Okay that Community are. Pastor Newms: [59:24] I'm not I'm not sure until I don't want to say it wrong let me let me be clear on why it's really depends on preference of the person you're talking. Pastor Bill: [59:30] Due respect, to who it's do we respectful they feel like it's pandering I've seen a lot of videos where they feel like this is just pandering and I get that I see their point of view, and if that's what we you know if that's the overwhelming consensus like I said I'm an ally I'll back you up, but I saw it as a recognition of the beginning of the March toward equality and so I was happy for it, so if somebody wants to email me if you're hearing that saying this somebody wants to email me and tell me how to support it and how to follow through or if I should just ignore it because like with the black history month thing for years I felt like that was pandering, I felt like. Pastor Newms: [1:00:22] Well there are some people go. Pastor Bill: [1:00:26] I felt like we need holidays all year long that celebrate Breck black history not cram everything into one month and go well this is everything that but you know it needs to be spread out over all year long all year long, we need to give recognition to the Pioneers that, made this country what it is that aren't white we should be doing that all year long it shouldn't be one month and then you know I shared a video on Tic-Tok of an interview that Morgan Freeman where he said the exact same thing and I was like that's how I felt about this for years. Pastor Newms: [1:01:07] Yeah. Pastor Bill: [1:01:09] And I'm an ally I'm not the white savior I'm not the. Pastor Newms: [1:01:12] We're not trying to do that you know. Pastor Bill: [1:01:13] I'm not going out there and trying to fix the world's ills for everybody else, and so when he said that I was like hey I can share that because I agree with that and now you know someone in this community is actually saying it so it's, the 19th is Biggs asks because the 18th the date for Juneteenth the 19th is but when federal holidays fall on a Saturday they are observed on a Friday when they fall on a Sunday they are observed on a Monday. Pastor Newms: [1:01:48] When I first heard about Juneteenth it made me sick, the fact that we did you know that and I say we I don't mean we as white people I don't mean we as you know Texas that I'm no longer. Pastor Bill: [1:02:08] Proud Texan I was ashamed. Pastor Newms: [1:02:11] I say we as Americans we as humans continued to do that always just makes me sick. Pastor Bill: [1:02:21] It makes me sick that we had slaves as Americans at all like the whole Spirit of founding America was freedom and then we literally did the opposite we won't we should have done, when the when the Spanish ship showed up full of slaves, we should have bought them and made them Freemen all in one motion,we should have bought them and sent the Spaniards away and said go get us you know, go buy more people that have already been put into slavery bring them back we'll buy them from you and will make them citizens that's what we should have done. Pastor Newms: [1:03:09] I will actually take it a step further because you're a nicer person than I am I wouldn't do it that way I would buy them all get them off the boat and then magically that boat would disappear. Pastor Bill: [1:03:21] But that doesn't help with everyone in Spain that's already in slavery. Pastor Newms: [1:03:27] I know the prop yeah and yeah there's a lot of there's a lot of gray area in in that whole situation. Pastor Bill: [1:03:38] The Spaniards were going to Africa, the African tribes were stealing people from other tribes and then selling them to the Spaniards, then the Spaniards were going back to Spain and putting them into the slave trade and then the people that were Commerce minded, we're buying up a bunch of slaves and then bringing them over to the colonies you know and selling them to the Americans. Pastor Newms: [1:04:10] It's just it's messed up how the whole situation human beings are terrible we live in a fallen world and human beings do terrible things other human beings every day and it's absolutely disgusting. Pastor Bill: [1:04:25] It is. Pastor Newms: [1:04:29] And I say that not as someone who's like (disingenuous) it's disgusting I can't believe anyone would ever do that because there was a time in my life where I did some pretty terrible things and so it's one of those things where it's like I feel, terrible for the terrible things I've done I was a bully at one point I was bullied I was you know I've been through lots of the different parts of the cycle, all terrible because we are terrible to each other for some, crazy reason that I've never fully understood. Pastor Bill: [1:05:05] And every year when we celebrate July 4th, and inevitably there's someone from that community that has issue with celebrating Freedom when as that freedom happened there were slaves. In this country that weren't set free at the same time I feel like that's valid and also not valid. Like yeah not everybody was free that's a problem and it was six, and it shouldn't have been taken time to fix it, it should have been fixed right away but I want us all out to celebrate that now we're free. Now but that's my personal feeling. Pastor Newms: [1:06:10] Well I mean we could definitely get into the wage slavery conversation but we will today because we're already. Pastor Bill: [1:06:19] Okay but that's not that's not. Pastor Newms: [1:06:20] I said we're not. Pastor Bill: [1:06:24] Whole class of people and injuring a whole other class of people a race of people rather. Pastor Newms: [1:06:32] Race I will agree with classes exactly what's going on. Pastor Bill: [1:06:36] Because exactly that's not a whole race of people and injuring a whole another race of people there are still problems. Pastor Newms: [1:06:41] Yes it is classism yes there are still problems. Pastor Bill: [1:06:46] I'm not going to argue against that there are still problems. [1:06:58] I'm an ally not a savior so alright so we're out of time for this episode for this night, so unless you have anything else you want to add or in clay in unless anyone else has anything they want to contribute on chat we'll go ahead and wrap this up, I cut my hand at some point this week just ever so slightly and I keep doing things that just like barely touch it and it makes it hurt. Yeah I don't know how I cut it.
