Dave Brisbin 2.9.26 There seem to be two Jesuses in the gospels. The first is the unconditional-love-Jesus who accepts and sits with anyone who will sit with him, regardless of moral or social standing. This is the Jesus who says: Come to me, all you who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest. Then there's another Jesus, a turn-or-burn-Jesus who sets performance criteria between us and God's love. He's the one saying: Unless your righteousness exceeds that of your religious lawyers, there is no way you will enter the kingdom of heaven. Will the real Jesus please stand up? Is God's love unconditionally free or a reward for acceptable behavior? Seems it can't be both, yet the contradiction stands. And therein lies the source of our religious dissociative identity disorder, the reason it is so hard for us to shake our existential fears of condemnation. But a contradiction is only impassable within a certain context. Change the context, evaporate the contradiction. Jesus presents all his teaching within the context of the kingdom of heaven. If we misunderstand kingdom's context, we misunderstand Jesus, and the contradiction stands. As Jesus tirelessly illustrates, the kingdom of heaven, malkhuta d'ashmaya, is not a future politically sovereign Israel, as his first followers believed, or future heaven of the afterlife, as we typically believe today. It's the quality of life right herenow, reflecting a person's experience of the connection of all life to God and each other. The context of a future kingdom, creates a permanent if/then contingency, as if our performance determines God's decision to admit us. But in the herenow context of Jesus' kingdom, everything resolves, yet both Jesuses stand. God loves and accepts unconditionally, but our “sinful” beliefs and behavior are those that create separation, not from God, but from the experience of oneness herenow, the only context in which kingdom exists. Kingdom is never closed, never withheld—always now, always available. God doesn't admit us or not. God is eternally open. God's presence is kingdom itself. We admit ourselves whenever we're ready to experience it.

Most youth camp games fail for one simple reason… and almost nobody realizes it. Leaders spend hours planning activities, but kids lose interest in minutes — and it's not because they're distracted or bored. Today, I'm sitting down with the creator of Camp Clue — a game that's been used in camps around the world to keep kids fully engaged. He's breaking down exactly why it works — and how you can design games that actually hold attention all week long. And how you can get it for yourself!

A faint light flickers up and down as a small converted golf cart is driven slowly along the rows of vegetables growing in the fields beyond. The light bobs and then pauses for some minutes before carrying on along the row. The cart is idled and I imagine the Jesuses and Josés of the world wearing thick jackets and pulled-down caps over stained jeans climbing down, knives in hand as they each pull an empty crate from the back of the golf cart before bending down and harvesting from another row of chard.

She's seen demons lined up like an army. Angels 60 feet tall. Jesus himself, standing in a backyard with a toddler. Britt Holland is a seer, and she's been seeing things since childhood—long before she had any framework to understand it. In this episode, Britt shares her full story: prophetic dreams that came true, a vision of the crucifixion at 17, years of seeing in the spirit realm, and the dangerous season when meditation practices opened doors she didn't mean to open. She encountered false Jesuses with fangs. Witches astrally projecting into her room. A mimicking spirit impersonating her husband.Britt's story is wild, but it's also grounded. She talks about the angels who appeared as humans in Russia and Germany and vanished without a trace. She explains the difference between the prophetic and the psychic, and how she tests what she sees against scripture. She's honest about where she went wrong, what she learned, and why she now believes that just because you can see into the spirit realm doesn't mean you should go exploring. For anyone who's ever had a supernatural experience and wondered if they were crazy—or if it was real—this episode is for you.Join us for a wild journey beyond the veil in this intriguing and wide-ranging interview on the unseen realm.  Want to listen to this and the entire back catalog of member-exclusive episodes?

The boys discover a peculiar cult boasting not one, but two Jesuses. Yowzah! Must be pretty awkward at Christmas. James whisks Alasdair off to the commune of the Agapemonites: a scandalous Victorian sect nestled in the sauciest region of Somerset. (Well, a few miles north of Taunton.) There's a little extra spice in the mix, because James has noticed that the word "sects" sounds a bit rude. See Alasdair On Tour in 2026!

1. Seth continus his review of Luke 10, further examining workers in the harvest.2. Seth responds to a question in the inbox about Christian firmness. 3. Seth discusses recent rubber Jesus experiences.

He came to what was his own, yet his own people did not accept him. But to all who did receive him, to those who believe in his name, he gave the right to become children of God (John 1:11-12). Amen."On the 300th anniversary of the Reformation (1817), one of the most powerful rulers in Germany attempted to unify both Lutheran and Reformed churches into one Evangelical church. The government mandated a common confession that blended Lutheran and Reformed beliefs. Those who opposed the policy had two choices: establish a free church, deprived of government financial support, or leave Germany. Some of them left and sought religious freedom in the United States. They were known as the Old Lutherans, or Strict Lutherans, and wanted to be free to practice their Lutheran faith" (Christ Through Us, p. 4)."When they came to the American West, they carried their German Bibles, hymnbooks, and copies of devotion books from the old country and gathered in homes for worship, hymn singing, and Bible reading. Often there were no pastors to teach them or conduct services. Someone would be chosen to lead the singing and perhaps also to read. With so few pastors on the frontier, differences in doctrine were ignored. The German Christians, Reformed and Lutheran, simply agreed to disagree. The Lutheran Confessions remained silent protests to set aside for the sake of unity and convenience When the people established congregations, sometimes they were gatherings of both Lutheran and Reformed protestants" (Christ Through Us, p. 5)."In reality, opposing doctrines often stood side by side in silent opposition and tension. The sound of axes and the struggle to create families, homes, and productive farms were more important" (Christ Through Us, p. 5).Three pastors - John Muehlhaeuser, John Weinmann, and William Wrede – founded a new synod called the "German Evangelical Lutheran Ministerium of Wisconsin," which later became the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod. The official founding of the synod was on May 26, 1850, at Salem Lutheran Church in Granville, which is now part of Milwaukee, Wisconsin.Though Strict Lutherans had fled Germany because of religious persecution, these three pastors did not care for the restrictive views of the Strict Lutherans. They preferred a Mild Lutheran synod that would allow them to also minister to the Reformed in their communities. The founding of our church body was not with strong, doctrinal, confessional Lutheran convictions. The beginning of the WELS was indeed small, even weak. We will discover over these three sermons and our ten-week Bible study on the history of the WELS, that this young Wisconsin Synod did something almost unheard of among Christian church bodies. By God's grace, it grew more biblically sound over it's 175 years.Today we examine the blessing of Christ for us. It's a rare blessing from the Lord that any church body teaches the gospel with remarkable clarity, much less for 175 years. We haven't done anything to deserve this blessing. Instead, Christ has done everything for us. He died for us, he rose for us, he saved us, and he reconciled us to God the Father. St. Paul lays all this out for us in Romans 5.Paul writes, "God shows his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8). Paul explained earlier that what makes us sinners is that we are "ungodly" (Romans 5:6). Being godly means doing the will of God. But we do the opposite of God's will. We don't put God first in our lives. We take his holy name in vain. We don't worship God. We don't honor God's representatives in the home or government. We allow our temper to get the better of us. We lust, steal, covet, and gossip. All this makes us ungodly sinners.And yet, while we were ungodly, Christ, the perfect God-Man, died for us. In our place. As our Substitute. Look at Jesus hanging dead on the cross and then think of all the biblical stand-ins – the ram that spared Isaac (Genesis 22:13); the Passover lamb (Exodus 12:21); the scapegoat of Yom Kippur (Leviticus 16:21), the Suffering Servant of Isaiah: "But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon him, and by his wounds we are healed" (Isaiah 53:5). Christ is the stand-in for sinners. Christ is the vicarious Victim.Paul explains that being ungodly sinners, we are God's natural-born enemies. "Therefore, since we have now been justified by his blood, it is even more certain that we will be saved from God's wrath through him. For if, while we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, it is even more certain that, since we have been reconciled, we will be saved by his life" (Romans 5:9,10)You may consider yourself a good, decent, hard-working, church-going, right-decision-making Christian. Still, even you are an ungodly, sinful, enemy of God. Yet, this is how God shows his love for us – while we were still sinners and God's enemies, Jesus Christ died for us. He took the place of his enemies. Not his family. Not his buddies. He died for those who wanted him dead. For those who wanted nothing to do with him. That's you and me.One life in exchange for another. He becomes the sinner in place of every sinner; and we in him become the saint – holy and righteous before God. That's what Paul means when he says, "Since we have now been justified by his blood, it is even more certain that we will be saved from God's wrath through him." By saving us from God's righteous wrath, Jesus changed our eternal destination from hell to heaven. When God looks at you, he doesn't see your sin any more, but he sees the blood of his Son covering your sinfulness. He sees only little Jesuses. Even though your sins are many and great, Jesus' divine blood is greater. He became your sin in his death, and you received his life.St. Paul continues, "For if, while we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, it is even more certain that, since we have been reconciled, we will be saved by his life. And not only is this so, but we also go on rejoicing confidently in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received this reconciliation" (Romans 5:10-11)."Reconcile" means to win enemies over to friendliness. When I was playing soccer in college, there were players on a certain team that were taking me out. I was slide tackling them, too. It was rough! The ref had to get involved. But after the season was over, the players on that team invited me to their college to play indoor soccer on their intramural team. We had been sworn enemies. But we were reconciled.Most of the time, when there is reconciliation between bitter opponents, warring nations, fighting spouses, or arguing neighbors, each party has to give a little to get a little. That's not the way it worked with our reconciliation with God. We were God's bitter enemies. While we remained enemies, Christ made peace with us. We weren't doing the work that was assigned to us. We cheated on God. We were unfaithful followers and disloyal children. Still, Jesus entered our world to restore peace between us and God. We didn't give up anything ... except our sins. Christ is the One who gave up everything – he gave up heaven to suffer hell on the cross; he gave his perfection to us; he who cannot die as God, became Man so that he could die.On Good Friday, in the darkness of Jesus' death, God said to the world, "I am at peace with you." In your Baptism, when water was poured on you in the Name of the Triune God, the Father said, "I am at peace with you." In the Supper, with Jesus' own Body and Blood as his gift to you, God says again, "I am at peace with you."Brothers and sisters, take the time right now to bow your head and repent of your being God's natural-born enemy – an enemy that killed the Son of God with your sins.Silence for private confession.Reconciled children of our Heavenly Father, you are forgiven. Your name is written in the wounds of Jesus. Christ has dipped his pen in the crimson ink of his divinely human veins and written your name in the Lamb's Book of Life. Jesus promises, "I certainly will not erase his name from the Book of Life, and I will acknowledge his name before my Father and his angels" (Revelation 3:5). Jesus has engraved your name on the palms of his hands. God promises, "Look, I have inscribed you on the palms of my hands" (Isaiah 49:16). Jesus has now set up his divine kingdom within your heart. That means he rules over your soul, mind, and body. Jesus says, "The kingdom of God is within you" (Luke 17:21).You were once at war with your heavenly Father. Like Adam and Eve, you ran away and tried hiding from God. But Jesus came as the Seed of the Woman and the Serpent-Crusher (Genesis 3:15). You are the flesh that will return to dust. But the Son of God is the Word who became flesh and dwelled among us (John 1:14). Jesus did all this to reconcile you to your heavenly Father. He has forgiven you. You are now God's friend. God's saint. God's child.You did nothing to bring about this reconciliation. God did it all through Jesus Christ. In Baptism, you didn't commit yourself to Christ; he committed himself to you. In those waters he crucified you with himself, laid your body with his in the tomb, and he carried you forward into the light of eternal life. Jesus promises, "He who believes and is baptized shall be saved" (Mark 16:16). That faith is not a conviction you created but a gift you received. By the Holy Spirit you confess, "Jesus is Lord" (1 Corinthians 12:3).Reconciled. Do you realize the implications? It isn't a matter of you "getting right with God" but of you believing that Christ has made you right with God. You weren't reconciled and made a Christian because you were so great a person, or had a heart that was so pure, or because you were so awesome that God just had to have you. Nope. It was because you were so unrighteous that Christ covered you with the clothing of his righteousness. It was because you were living for yourself that Christ lived for you, and then died for you, and then lives for you again. It wasn't because you asked Jesus to be your Savior that you were saved. It was because while you were still a sinner, Christ died for you, chose you, called you, and washed you clean in his own divine blood.You might have heard people say, "God loves you just the way you are." That sounds nice and loving. But when people say that they are often using those words to excuse someone's sinful lifestyle and harmful choices.A better way to speak is to say, "God loves you just the way you are. ... But he also loves you too much to let you stay that way."God loved you while you were still a sinner and his enemy. But he didn't let you remain in your sin or continue as his enemy. You were an enemy that Jesus saw needed changing. He didn't leave you the way you were. What would be the point in that?If you were going to stay the same, then what would have been the purpose of Jesus living and dying for you. No, while you were still an enemy of God, Jesus reconciled you to himself. He chose you while you were his enemy so he could make you a child of God. He chose you when you were a sinner so he could remake you into a saint. He chose you while you were still friends with the devil so he could remake you into a brother or sister of Christ.By God's grace, this is the message of Christ for you that generations of Lutherans in the Wisconsin Synod have been blessed to hear for the past 175 years from pulpits in our churches, learn in the classrooms of our grade schools and high schools, receive from the water in the baptismal fonts, and accept in the Body and Blood at the Lord's Table. By that same grace of God, this is the message of Christ for you that has been proclaimed here at Lord of Lords for the past 45 years.In this small church body we call the Wisconsin Synod, God has done something that is almost unheard of among Christian church bodies. "While most other church bodies have merged into larger bodies and lost their bodies and lost their distinctiveness or simply folded and disappeared into the mists of history as the decades have passed. But not the Wisconsin Synod" (Christ Through Us, viii). Our little Wisconsin Synod has grown more biblically sound over the past 175 years. That has only happened because we, always by God's grace, continue to proclaim a message of reconciliation – of Christ for us. Amen.The Word became flesh and dwelled among us. We have seen his glory, the glory he has as the only-begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth (John 1:14). Amen.View this sermon (with video and/or audio recording) on our website: https://www.casperwels.com/sermons/christ-for-us/

Is political loyalty pulling our hearts away from Jesus?  Craig speaks with Brian Drinkwine, a pastor and church planter who's seen both the beauty and the brokenness of the American church. After one of Brian's posts about Charlie Kirk's death went viral, he found himself in the middle of a national conversation about faith, politics, and misplaced allegiance. Brian shares his story, from growing up in a strict Baptist home to planting churches across the country, and how he learned that following Jesus means laying down every other flag. Together, he and Craig talk about what happens when believers confuse the Kingdom of God with the kingdoms of this world. They dig into: Why early Christians were persecuted for refusing to worship Caesar How politics can sneak in and take the place of Christ What real repentance looks like when we've mixed faith with empire The freedom that comes when our only loyalty is to Jesus first Brian also shares how he's helping others recognize political idolatry and live out the words, “No King but Christ.”   Take a listen and ask yourself: where does your allegiance really lie…the flag or the cross?

Welcome back to Bears! This episode the guys react to an extraordinarily ordinary type of L to start the season as the Bears fall 27-24 after blowing a late 17-6 lead. Three quarters of dominance begat one quarter of miserable failure, so what do we make of it? How did Caleb do? How about the new coaching staff? How about the one old member of the coaching staff (I'm coming for YOU Richard Hightower)? Can we officially say Poles' tenure has been a disaster? And how many Jesuses is an acceptable number of Jesuses? Find out inside! Thanks for listening!

Christians are unified in Jesuses words by speaking truth to one another in godly love. We are His mouth and feet, ambassadors for Christ, encouraging one another and glorifying God.

It's Pentecost Sunday - the day we celebrate the arrival of the Spirit. Like we talked about last week, Christian means "follower of Christ." We can also understand it as meaning "little Christ." We're all little Jesuses. This happens with the indwelling of the Spirit. The Spirit is nothing more than Jesus moving from the outside to the inside. It's Jesus moving in. So here we'll walk a bit through the story in Acts 2. How do we know that Jesus has moved in? 1) There will be a renewed sense of community. They were all together in one place. The Spirit arrived to the gathered community. They had everything in common. We'll talk for a bit about the importance of the gathered community. With all of our online options today, the gathered community has never been more important. 2) There will be a renewed sense and passion for loving the world - our neighbors. There was such a diversity of people present at the first Pentecost. They were there meeting the practical needs of people. Speaker: Aaron Vis Scripture: Acts 2:1-13; 42-47 http://bible.com/events/49447317

Today's title may seem a little bit odd - how many Jesuses are in the NT? I'm sure there are going to be several comments on YouTube from people who didn't stay to watch the episode because the answer is clearly “one”. For those who want to see where we go with this, Dr. Bart Ehrman is going to be answering my questions on the different ways early Christians and writers of the NT viewed and understood Jesus, and whether all of those views and perspectives can be embodied in a single figure.

How many Jesuses are too many?

Who is Jesus? In our day we could say that we have many Jesuses! There's a religious version and a permissive version; a humanist Jesus, an activist Jesus, and many more. And we would do well to ask: Are we worshiping, following, and preaching the Genuine Article? Who is Jesus? In this sermon we kick off a short series asking that question. We'll go to the disciple who arguably knew Him best, the Apostle John.

In this episode of The A to Z English Podcast, Xochitl tells Jack about the Mexican holiday 3 Kings Day.Transcript:00:00:01JackWelcome to the A-Z English podcast. My name is Jack and today I'm here with my co-host social. And this is a new kind of episode that I like to call, topic talks and so social. What is today's topic or the topic talk?00:00:20XochitlUh, today's topic tag is a cultural holiday tradition called 3 Kings Day, and it's a holiday celebrated on January 6th and we celebrate in Mexico and I'm not sure if we celebrate it in other places of Latin America, but it celebrates when the three kings visited the baby Jesus.00:00:41XochitlYou brought gifts. So in Mexico you don't actually get your gifts on Christmas and stuff you. I mean, you can, but you usually get your gifts on three Kings Day.00:00:52JackOhh really you get?00:00:53JackYour your gifts on three Kings Day for not not.00:00:58XochitlYeah, I mean, I got.00:01:00XochitlGifts both days growing up, I split, split them up like between Christmas and three Wednesday.00:01:09XochitlBut traditionally in Mexico, you do get your gifts on three Kings Day so.00:01:16JackAnd and this also we should let our listeners know, this is like a this is from the the Christian Bible. The idea that on the on I guess it was when when Christ was Jesus was born.00:01:31JackBarn 3 Kings presented him with gifts, right? Gold, frankincense and myrrh.00:01:42JackIs that what it?00:01:42발표자Yeah, yeah.00:01:42JackIs OK alright. I don't know what Murray is. Actually, I don't know what frankincense is either, but.00:01:47XochitlFrankincense is a type of like it's a it's like a potpourri, or like an incense type of thing. It's a smell. I've smelled it before. It's kind of it smells kind of like minty.00:01:55JackOK. OK. OK.00:02:02XochitlBut look really sweet. I don't know.00:02:03JackThat's nice. Oh, OK. OK. Frank, it's. I mean, it kind of sounds like frankincense kind of sounds like some kind of incense. You know, like it comes to the word incense, but, but murder?00:02:03XochitlHow to?00:02:05XochitlIt is nice.00:02:13XochitlRight, yeah.00:02:16XochitlYeah, I don't know what that one is.00:02:19XochitlI'll be honest.00:02:19JackWhat is that? OK. All right. Have no idea if you know what Mer is. Please let us know. Send us.00:02:20XochitlI have no.00:02:21XochitlI don't have that one.00:02:24XochitlAn e-mail leave us a comment.00:02:29XochitlOr time in the we chat or.00:02:30XochitlWhatsApp groups, but uh.00:02:32XochitlYeah. So what we do typically is that we exchange gifts on this day kind of like you would for Christmas and then we.00:02:42XochitlCut up the roska, which is a three kings cake or King's cake. Kind of like Mardi Gras where you have.00:02:48XochitlKing's cake it's.00:02:49XochitlA similar kind of consistency. It's flavored with orange and anise seed.00:02:55XochitlAnd it has, like marzipan and cherries and candied orange peels. UM on the top.00:03:04XochitlAnd the very interesting.00:03:05JackOhh nice.00:03:06XochitlYeah, it is really tasty. I had two pieces, but the really interesting part about this pastry, it's shaped like a ring and everyone cuts their own peace. And if you get there's three plastic baby jesuses inside the.00:03:24XochitlThe cake and if you get a baby Jesus on February 2nd, you have to make tomorrow's for every.00:03:32JackOh, really? OK.00:03:36JackDid you get a baby Jesus?00:03:38XochitlNo, I I have a few tricks up.00:03:40XochitlMy sleeve Jack. So.00:03:42JackNobody wants.00:03:42JackA baby Jesus. You don't want a baby Jesus.00:03:45XochitlYou don't want a baby Jesus because then you have to make tomorrow and no one wants to make tamales. So I have a few tricks up my sleeve that I use to avoid the baby. Jesuses #1 is.00:03:57XochitlThe riskiest part is when you've cut your first piece of cake, you're pretty much.00:04:02XochitlIt's just your luck on luck.00:04:04JackYou got you go.00:04:04JackLeft or you go right. I mean that's it, right? I mean, right.00:04:07XochitlYeah, you have no pretty much no.00:04:12XochitlSay you kind of want to be in the middle.00:04:14XochitlOf the pack because.00:04:18XochitlIf you are the first person to cut, you have no idea. And if you're the last person to cut, then unless everyone else magically got a baby Jesus, which is very unlikely, then you're running out of space. You know what I mean? Like.00:04:31XochitlYou're running out.00:04:32XochitlOf real estate there. So it's likely that you're getting a baby Jesus, but if you're.00:04:36XochitlSomewhere in the middle of the pack.00:04:37XochitlIf someone just got a baby, the best time to go is.00:04:39XochitlIf someone just got a baby.00:04:41JackYeah, go right next to their their baby Jesus because.00:04:45XochitlThanks. Yeah.00:04:46JackThere's not going to be two.00:04:47JackBaby Jesus, next to each other, right?00:04:49XochitlYeah, they're not right next to each other. So I mean, when I used to make it, sometimes I put them.00:04:53XochitlNext to each other.00:04:56JackYou trick people, OK?00:04:57XochitlYeah, but you don't know where.00:05:01XochitlYou don't know where you they are. Even if you baked it, because once you bake it, you bake it with the baby.00:05:05XochitlJuice inside by.00:05:06XochitlThe way I know that can't be good for you.00:05:09XochitlBut or maybe?00:05:09JackThat can't be good, that those those are forever plastic chemicals, you know, so.00:05:14XochitlI know, but yeah. But you.00:05:16XochitlForget by the time it's ready where you put the baby Jesus. So it's like you.00:05:22XochitlThat's the best time is what right after someone got a baby Jesus.00:05:26XochitlThe other thing the other way that.00:05:28XochitlI avoid it is.00:05:30XochitlIf you already got a baby dude so you can eat as many slices as you want because getting the 2nd baby juices doesn't make you have to make more tamales.00:05:37JackNo, it's you're already. You're already done anyway. You're you're you've lost already, so.00:05:38XochitlWell, it's.00:05:43XochitlI just avoid a second slice until everyone has already.00:05:47XochitlGotten a baby Jesus? Like if they've already found three baby jesuses, then I can have as many slices as I want, but I tend.00:05:53XochitlTo hold out until that point.00:05:55JackOK.00:05:56JackOK.00:05:57JackWhat about? I'm just, I'm just brainstorming here, but what if?00:06:00JackYou cut really slowly.00:06:03JackAnd then you feel the plastic, you know, baby Jesus kind of touch the knife.00:06:10JackBut you can feel which side the the baby Jesus is on.00:06:14JackAnd then you cut the other go. The other way is that does that count? Or if you touch the baby Jesus with the knife, does that mean you you're now making tamales for everybody?00:06:25XochitlYes, because if you even if it peeks out, like even if you slice didn't have any, if you can see it when you cut it, like if it's in the then it's yours.00:06:34JackOh, OK, OK. So you.00:06:36XochitlPut it with the knife and you like moved your knife because you felt it. Everyone would. Everyone's watching you cut. So everyone be like you felt it. So you're making it tomorrow. Like they don't care. But I'll be really dirty. Trick that I used to have up my sleeve when I was a kid. Is that when everyone was distracted? I would. It's like a.00:06:54JackYou would poke a toothpick in there.00:06:57XochitlNo, I would pick it up and look at the bottom because you can see the.00:07:00XochitlHoles where they put the baby juices in.00:07:04JackSo you would know exactly where not to OK.00:07:08XochitlYeah, we're not to cut. And just, like, make a mental note of it. That was when I was younger I.00:07:12XochitlTried not to be that unfair.00:07:14JackYeah, that's some serious cheating right there. But yeah, you must be making tamales. Must be really awful. Must must be.00:07:21XochitlIt's not awful, but it's a lot of work, like no one to do it because you have to sit around. It's like an all day of Fair like you have to make the dough. You gotta boil the pork. You have to make the sauce. So that goes in there like you have. There's so many components to the ceiling and then you have to wrap each individual tomorrow. And you have to steam them in a pot, then you're done.00:07:24JackOK, OK.00:07:41XochitlSo it's like all the affair.00:07:43XochitlSo just no one.00:07:43JackI love tamales though. Ohh my gosh.00:07:46JackThey're so good.00:07:47XochitlI'm actually not a fan.00:07:48XochitlOf tamales either actually. So that's like.00:07:50JackReally. Ohh like that? I don't I.00:07:52JackThink I like them.00:07:54XochitlMore little ones with banana like that are wrapped in banana leaves. I do love those, but other other ones. I'm not a huge fan of. Yeah. So that's kind of the the big thing is like the excitement about whether you're gonna find a baby Jesus or not.00:08:08XochitlAnd do you have like hot cocoa or, you know, you drink it with like hot cocoa usually?00:08:13XochitlBecause it's not a super sweet. It's like it's kind.00:08:15XochitlOf a sweet.00:08:16XochitlBread, pastry kind of thing, but it's not very sweet. It's not like American pastries.00:08:21XochitlWhere it's like.00:08:21XochitlA mouthful of sugar. It's like a.00:08:22JackRight, right, right. Yeah.00:08:23XochitlVery light beef bread.00:08:25XochitlSo you dip it in your hot chocolate to complement it.00:08:29XochitlUM.00:08:31XochitlAnd that's kind of how you do it you.00:08:33XochitlKnow so.00:08:34JackSun right, actually.00:08:36XochitlYeah, it is really nice. I actually do, really.00:08:38XochitlEnjoy it and.00:08:40발표자Like did you?00:08:40JackGuys stretch out the holiday season even a little bit farther.00:08:43XochitlOh, ohhh yeah, we're bad in Mexico. If you if you whenever. If you ever moved to Mexico or go travel to Mexico or something. Everything. I mean, except businesses, some businesses and stuff, but any kind of like paperwork, anything like that is shut down completely from like December through the end of January.00:09:05XochitlDecember starts Posadas all the way until December 24th. Posadas are like.00:09:10XochitlWhen you know.00:09:11XochitlHow Mary and Joseph asked for a place to stay like they asked for refuge, I guess.00:09:17JackYeah, yeah, yeah.00:09:18XochitlSo you go around knocking. I told you about this before.00:09:21XochitlBut you go.00:09:22XochitlAround knocking door.00:09:22XochitlTo door and you like get hot chocolate and there's like party. It's like a part.00:09:26XochitlEvery night up until Christmas Eve. Then you party on Christmas. Then it's like you have New Year's. Then you have they smuggle. But January 6. And then there's still more stuff that you're doing up until February 2nd, where you have the people come back and have the tamales.00:09:47JackI love it. I love it. Months of celebrations? Yeah, that's.00:09:48XochitlSo it's just a party all through December and January.00:09:54XochitlIt's like doing some partying. Yeah, yeah.00:09:57JackI like it. I like it.00:09:59XochitlVery festive culture, which is something I appreciate and something a lot of.00:10:03XochitlPeople like but.00:10:04XochitlA lot of people aren't prepared for it when they move their full time because they get angry because they're like, why are there fireworks waking me up at 2:00 AM every night? It's like, well, they're.00:10:13XochitlPart people are partying cause it's like a patron, St's birthday or some kind of holiday. It's like pretty much every week there's a holiday of some sort.00:10:22JackRight. It's the day before the day before the three Kings Day. And it's the day after, you know? Yeah.00:10:23XochitlAnd they're not all set.00:10:28XochitlRight.00:10:29XochitlYeah, they after this. So it's kind of like it's a big celebratory culture and a lot of people enjoy that. But again, they're not really like ready for it because it's a lot of.00:10:41XochitlCommunity and like in America, we're so individualistic and we're so reserved and we don't like loud noises and we're very bothered by.00:10:51XochitlThose couple things and like it's something that I feel like a lot of Americans are really not prepared for when they move to Mexico. I see so many complaints on expat groups like why are people putting on fireworks? My poor dog is scared. I'm scared. I don't like the noise. I can't.00:11:07XochitlSleep and like it's.00:11:08XochitlJust that's how it is here.00:11:11XochitlI guess that it is better. Yeah, or. Yeah. But it's like not going to change anytime soon because it's just part of the culture, a huge part.00:11:11JackYeah, accept it or leave God love it.00:11:15JackLeave it.00:11:21XochitlOf the culture so.00:11:23XochitlYeah.

If the Jesus I worship looks just like me, is he the real Jesus or a Lord of my own making? This week, once more, we'll consider some of the fake “Jesuses” that appeal to Christians on the conservative side of the theological spectrum. False Christs are dangerous because they can lead us to trust in an imagined “god” who is not real. Don't fall for that trap!

Although God calls us to be shaped into his likeness, we're more interested in fashioning God in our own image. But the real Jesus cannot be made into the image of man so easily. This week we'll look at five modern distortions of Jesus that appeal to Christians on the conservative side of the spectrum: Braveheart Jesus, American Jesus, Dr. Phil Jesus, Prosperity Jesus, and Legalist Jesus. These fake Jesuses are dangerous because those who follow them put their trust in someone other than the biblical Christ. If the Christ we worship looks just like the man in the mirror, is he the real Jesus…or a Jesus of our own making?

My special guest tonight is author Mathew Barnes, who is here to discuss his book   The Emerald Tablet 101: A Modern, Practical Guide, Plain and Simple (The Ancient Egyptian Enlightenment Series).        The Emerald Tablet is an Ancient Egyptian work written by Hermes Trismegistus that is believed to represent a step-by-step instruction manual for the Alchemical process of turning ordinary metals like lead into something much more valuable, like gold.  The manual consists of fourteen cryptic, symbolic statements that many have tried to decipher throughout thousands of years.   The fourteen statements of the Emerald Tablet are a symbolic guide to a far greater treasure than the conversion of lead into gold. Instead, it is a symbolic guide to awakening the human soul. I believe it to be a guide to converting a base and petty human being into an awakened soul, the likes of which we have seen in the Jesuses and the Buddhas of our world.   In the Christian Bible, it is said that Adam fell into a deep sleep. Nowhere in that Bible does it say that he woke back up. I believe the Emerald Tablet's purpose is that very awakening.   It's super easy to access our archives!   Here's how:   iPhone Users: Access Mysterious Radio from Apple Podcasts and become a subscriber there, or if you want access to even more exclusive content, join us on Patreon.

For additional notes and resources check out Douglas' website.In the late first century, there were false concepts of Jesus circulating in the Christian world. Just as today there are numerous false Jesuses (perhaps best known is the one begging you to "accept" him, in exchange for nothing -- no commitment), so at the turn of the second century there was a false and idolatrous Jesus. This was being proclaimed in the churches where the apostle John, now an old man, had influence.1 Jn 1 We declare to you what was from the beginning, what we have heard, what we have seen with our eyes, what we have looked at and touched with our hands, concerning the word of life— 2 this life was revealed, and we have seen it and testify to it, and declare to you the eternal life that was with the Father and was revealed to us— 3 we declare to you what we have seen and heard so that you also may have fellowship with us; and truly our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son Jesus Christ.1 John is a letter from the apostle to Christians in Asia Minor (modern Turkey).These inspired words are addressed to the second (third?) generation of Christians. A whole generation or two of believers has been converted and died; it's up to their children to carry the torch.The letters of 1 and 2 John address a heresy called Gnosticism, and specifically a version of Gnosticism called Docetism. If you are unfamiliar with these doctrines, be sure to click on the links -- otherwise it will be difficult for you to fully understand these letters. There are other articles on Gnosticism at this website, too.2 Jn 7 Many deceivers have gone out into the world, those who do not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh; any such person is the deceiver and the antichrist! 8 Be on your guard, so that you do not lose what we have worked for, but may receive a full reward. 9 Everyone who does not abide in the teaching of Christ, but goes beyond it, does not have God; whoever abides in the teaching has both the Father and the Son. 10 Do not receive into the house or welcome anyone who comes to you and does not bring this teaching; 11 for to welcome is to participate in the evil deeds of such a person.Christians shouldn't say, “Philosophy and theology don't matter; just read the Bible.” Training in how to read the Bible benefits us all. The fact is, words and ideas are powerful. We have a moral obligation not only to teach the truth clearly, but also to protect the church from the ravages of false teachers.There are a number of NT references that begin making sense when you realize the nature of the false doctrine being discussed.Colossians 2:18-23 deals with ascetic regulations, and the specific heresy seems to be a fusion of Jewish and Gnostic philosophy.1 Timothy 6:20 addresses the Gnostic superiority complex (“what is falsely called knowledge”).1 and 2 John deal with Docetism. The docetic "Jesus" is nothing but an idol (1 John 5:21).John is emphatic that Jesus Christ came in a physical body (vv.1-3).His life and person were open to verification through the physical senses: sight, hearing and touch.Keep in mind that the Docetists are claiming that he came not in a physical body but as some sort of disembodied spirit.John insists he is a reliable eyewitness of Jesus Christ.It really does matter whether Jesus existed, whether he physically came to earth as a man, preached, loved, and resisted temptation in the flesh, whether he physically died on a cross and bodily rose from the dead (1 Cor 15)!John stresses here not the divinity of Jesus, but his humanity, which was being questioned.So, was Jesus 50% human and 50% divine? No! He was 100% human and 100% divine.As an illustration, Gatorade is totally wet and completely lime-green—100% of each—both at the same time. There are two natures, yet neither excludes the other.In the same way, Jesus is human and divine.Why the mention of fellowship in 1:3?The false teachers, influenced by the Gnostics, had left the fellowship.Either you are in the fellowship or out of it (in both senses of the phrase!).The Gnosticized Christians had “gone out” (1 John 2:19); their new “church” was not in fellowship with the real disciples—they had nothing in common.A modern day phenomenon that is sweeping away many people tired of traditional religion is New Age religion.This is a fusion of eastern mysticism and western concepts, with elements of astrology, pantheism, meditation, the occult and a good deal of snob appeal.Enlightenment is sought within, rather than without—at the foot of the cross of Christ. This is the central flaw of this and many other quasi-religious movements.Sin is downplayed, and the language of love, unity, freedom and tolerance masks the true heart of the movement, which throbs with rebellion and individualism. The movement takes strong exception to the doctrines of sin, judgment, righteousness, hell, and other doctrines clearly set out in the Bible.The message is promoted in such bestsellers asThe Celestine ProphecyThe Care of the SoulA New EarthThe Power of NowA Course in MiraclesFour AgreementsFor an exploration of Gnosticism, with a survey of five Gnostic gospels, see my audio set The Lost Books of the Bible (IPI: Spring, Texas, 2007).The material in this and the next 5 or 10 lessons has been adapted from chapter 17 of my book James, Peter, John, Jude.  Re-read prologue

In this episode of the Called-Out Café we start to wrap up this series titled, “Choose Your Jesus Wisely” with some thoughts on what the authentic follower of Jesus might do in response to so many counterfeit Jesuses being followed today.

In this episode we look at if false Christian gods, or counterfeit Jesuses do exist in the Church today as I have been saying in this series, who's problem is that to fix? Do we have any responsibility, or is it up to Jesus to fix His Church? 

In this episode, we reimagine the Sunday School version of Jesuses and what the term “love” actually means from a biblical perspective.

Every word in this article describes my religious views: "https://brucegerencser.net/why-i-hate-jesus/ "I don't hate the flesh and blood Jesus who walked the dusty roads of Palestine, nor do I hate the Jesus found in the pages of the Bible. These Jesuses are relics of the past. I'll leave it to historians to argue and debate whether these Jesuses were real or fiction. Over the centuries, Christians have created many Jesuses in their own image. This is the essence of Christianity, an ever-evolving religion bearing little resemblance to what it was even a century ago. The Jesus I hate is the modern, Western Jesus, the American Jesus, the Jesus who has been a part of my life for almost fifty-eight years. The Jesuses of bygone eras have no power to harm me, but the modern Jesus – the Jesus of the three hundred thousand Christian churches that populate every community in America – he has the power to affect my life, hurt my family, and destroy my country. And I, with a vengeance, hate him. This Jesus drives fancy cars, has palaces and cathedrals, and followers who spare no expense to make his house the best mansion in town. This Jesus loves Rolexes, Lear jets, and expensive suits. This Jesus sees the multitude and turns his back on them, only concerned with those who say and believe “the right things.” It is this Jesus I hate. This Jesus owns condominiums constructed just for those who believe in him. When they die, he gives them the keys. But, for the rest of humanity, billions of people, this Jesus says no keys for you. I have a special Hitler-like plan for you. To the ovens you go, only unlike the Jews, I plan to give you a special body that allows me to torture you with fire and brimstone forever. It is this Jesus I hate. It is this Jesus who looks at Jews, Buddhists, Hindus, Muslims, Atheists, Agnostics, Deists, Universalists, Secularists, Humanists, and Skeptics, and says to them before you were born I made sure you could never be in the group that gets the condominiums when they die. This Jesus says, and it is your fault, sinner man. It is this Jesus who made sure billions of people were born into cultures that worshiped other Gods. It is this Jesus who then says it is their fault they were born at the wrong place, at the wrong time. Too bad, this Jesus says, burn forever in the Lake of Fire. It is this Jesus I hate. This Jesus divides families, friends, communities, and nations. This Jesus is the means to an end. This Jesus is all about money, power and control. This Jesus subjugates women, tells widows it's their fault, and ignores the cry of orphans. Everywhere one looks, this Jesus hurts, afflicts, and kills those we love. It is this Jesus I hate. What I can't understand is why anyone loves this Jesus? Like a clown on a parade route, he throws a few candies towards those who worship him, promising them that a huge pile of candy awaits them when they die. He lets his followers hunger, thirst, and die, yet he tells them it is for their good, that he loves them and has a wonderful plan for their life. This Jesus is all talk, promising the moon and delivering a piece of gravel. Why can't his followers see this? Fear me, he tells his followers. I have the keys to life and death. I have the power to make you happy and I have the power to destroy your life. I have the power to take your children, health, and livelihood. I can do these things because I am the biggest, baddest Jesus ever. Fear me and oppress women, immigrants, orphans, homosexuals, and atheists. Refuse my demand and I will rain my judgment down upon your head. But, know that I love you and only want is best for you and yours. It is this Jesus I hate. This Jesus is pro-life. Yet, this same Jesus supports the incarceration of poor young men of color, often for no other crime than trying to survive." --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/antonio-myers4/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/antonio-myers4/support

"In the entire first Christian century Jesus is not mentioned by a single Greek or Roman historian, religion scholar, politician, philosopher or poet. His name never occurs in a single inscription, and it is never found in a single piece of private correspondence. Zero! Zip references."
