And we can get to it when we get to it. All right. All right. There we go. We have nobody waiting. Oh, we got one caller coming in. I hope you want to give me a call. And had a good weekend, busy weekend. I'm still coughing. Still having problems with that. It's been a rough cough. In fact, I found out that some other people on the trip also got the same cough that I did. Looks like someone on the bus was infected with something and we got just a nice cough. But, you know, it happens. It happens. So there you go. And I just used my cough button. Hope it works. Hope it works well. All right. Now, tomorrow's the election. Man, as a conservative who believes in scripture, I know that God's in control, and I know that things are good and bad. My opinion, I'm going to offend people here, but this is my opinion. If Harris gets in, it's because the judgment of God is on this country. If Trump gets in, it's because he's giving us a little spare time. that's my view uh... didn't do was perfect but uh... uh... here is is a marxist uh... commie who's uh... over the borders and you know she's a chameleon and uh... trump well he's a businessman he's kind of crass but uh... at least he i'd believe yes uh... countries uh... interest at heart unlike uh... kamala who i believe is just a puppet and she gets in the deep state of the controlling her for whatever they want and uh... people outside of her country probably doing a lot of stuff. And with a leftist media in place, our country's really basically in a lot of trouble. It is in a lot of trouble. It really is. The schools are leftist, the media's leftist, and I don't even know if we can trust the election. Either way. I mean, you know? Well, let's put it this way. If Trump gets in, I'd be surprised and I'm hoping that's what happens, but if Kamala gets in I don't trust the election I don't know about you guys, but I don't trust it. I already have heard reports of cheating going on for the Dems suddenly voters for Trump's their Machines are showing up for for Harris things like this ballots are missing in conservative areas. I just don't trust the left. I think the judgment of God is upon us. She and Obama and Biden and others have been part of that judgment. So there you go. I just offended a lot of people. I know you want to turn your radio stations. I don't care. Go do what you want to do. At least, I believe in the freedom of expression and the freedom of speech. And if you don't like it, okay. But if you do, okay. Whatever, you know. So that's that. All right. Let's go and get online with Courtney from Orlando, Florida. Courtney, welcome. You're on the air. Hi, Matt. How are you today? Except for the cough, I'm doing okay. Hanging in there. I've got this bad cough I've had for days and days. Yeah, me and my little ones have it as well. So I understand. Yeah. So I was calling because I've got a bit of an issue and it's bringing division in my home regarding, um, abortion and the churches, um, churches. Uh, how do I say the word? Um, I don't even know the word for it. So, so, I'm a woman who's experienced that in the past and been redeemed by Christ. And it's just been a passion of mine to educate, especially the African-American community on how it is affecting us and how it's harmful to us. And not only that, and how God commanded us not to murder. So I have a passion in my heart for, and I, um, my husband doesn't not so much as passionate, understandably. Um, but I even hesitate to call because I want to respect and honor him. Um, but I don't, I'm, I'm having a hard time just being settled because, um, it's coming off as I'm being judgmental. My, my leaders are kind of seeing it as like I'm being judgmental or, um, legalistic leaders. They don't. Yeah. Well, I've got my leaders and I said, yes, sir. Church leaders. Okay. So I've gone to them and I said, okay, what's the stance on abortion? And they said, um, because I was talking to them about, I wanted to show them some videos from, um, abolitionists. And I was wrestling through that and wanted to see how, if they could, you know, look at it and kind of see, cause it was talking about criminalizing the mothers. And I just didn't know where I stood on that. Exactly. Just kind of open up the conversation. Let's talk about it. And so I was like, what's our stance? And they were like, well, we don't talk about things that divide the church. We talk about things that bring them together. And I was like, okay, things like, can you give me an example? He's like, well, things like housing and justice and things like that. And I was just like, okay, well, I just left it at that. And I was like, honey, I just need you to talk to the pastor because I don't think biblically I can kind of have this conversation with him. And you know, you're the leader and I want you to, to take that, that several things are going here with, um, so I'm curious, what did your church say about the issue of abortion? Um, well, It was more so of like, that's people, cause I told them amendment four is happening and to kind of let's have the conversation with the congregation. Can we pass, can I at least pass out flyers? What did the leadership say about abortion? They said, we don't really talk about those things in the church because it's a divisive conversation. Oh yeah. I would love to meet those guys. I'd love to meet him and give him what for and say that for them to hide behind the lie of the devil that it causes division and therefore you don't want to address something dealing with human nature and murder and the issue of what's going on you guys are you should be ashamed of yourselves to say that you don't want to get into it because it might be divisive. You guys aren't qualified to be pastors and elders. You can just step down right now, and I'll stay here for a little while and help you get a new pastor, and then I'll take off. So the thing that's being understood now is that it's not a first-tier issue. Yes, it is. Thou shalt not kill. We have the Christian liberties to kind of you know, move about and address those issues from a different stance. And I said, that's not right. These guys don't know what they're doing. They don't know what they're doing. I'm sorry, but they don't. The Bible says that men are supposed to protect the helpless. Now you ask them, and I would ask them to their face, I'd say, is the life in the womb a human life or not a human life? That's it. Is it human or is it not human? It's either one or the others. No other options. Which is it? They say, it's not human. I'm going to jump all over him like a monkey in a cupcake. If it's not human, can we take it? I think they would say that it was human, but that it's not. People are still going to murder. People are still going to have abortion. I understand that. Hold on, hold on, hold on. Their position needs to be a biblical one. If it's human, then they cannot in any way say that it's okay to do. You can't just kill a human life for no reason. And a friend of mine, I don't think he agrees with it because he says that for him, he's going to vote no on amendment four. But my biggest, I don't know what that is, but you've got to focus. The pastor should be against abortion. He should be against it. The eldership should be against it. I hope there's not any women pastors and elders there, are there? At your church? Good. So these men need to stand on the truth of God's word, and if they can't do it, they need to step down. This is serious stuff. Killing the unborn is a horrifying thing. God's judgment upon our country is occurring in part because of that. If these guys don't have the guts to be able to stand on it and say, no, this is wrong. This is wrong. They need to say it from the pulpit. They need to address it. If people leave the church, let them leave. OK, because I know he said that he would vote personally, that he would vote against abortion, but he's not going to impose those thoughts on other people. And that's what my issue is. Well, then, you know what? Does he is he going to impose the thoughts and the others that you need Jesus to be saved? Jesus says he's the way, the truth and the life. Nobody comes a father, but by him. Does he not want to impose on anybody else? See, I believe that one of the major problems in Christianity today and the Protestant churches is they're not taking the word of God seriously and pastors don't know what they're supposed to be doing. The pastors are a problem all across the country, not every pastor. There's a lot of good ones, I know some good ones personally. But the thing is they're not upholding the word of God and standing on the word of God. What they're doing is testing which way the doctrinal wind goes. They don't want to cause any problems. They're afraid people might leave the church. And this is horrible. It's horrible. And such men are disqualified. I know that as the wife, but as my husband, how do I talk to him about this issue and my concern without us butting heads, because that's where it's coming to. Because I'm like, OK, it's not a sin. If it's not a first tier issue, then I'm just not going to that church. It is a first tier issue. It is. It is. It is a first-tier issue. What if the government said, it's OK to kill atheists? It's OK to kill atheists. If a weird thing happens, it's OK to kill atheists, we'd say no. Or would the pastor, your husband, or somebody else, other men out there say, well, we don't want to cause division. So we do not have come. We do not have Christian liberty to discuss this in the pulpit. Of course we do. We're supposed to discuss it in the pulpit. We're supposed to discuss the issue of protecting the unborn, protecting life, laying down our lives for others, sacrificing ourselves for others, following the footsteps of Christ. Jesus says, don't hinder the little ones from coming to me. And when people start using babies in the womb as fodder to kill for their own pleasure, this is horrifying. It's horrifying. And it shouldn't happen. as a wife, because I'm not making these decisions about where we go to church and things like that, and I don't want to try to lead and overstep my husband, because I respect him. How do I go about What is my next move? What do I do? This is what you do. What you do is you get in a woman's group, and you pray for your husbands. And you pray for respect, to be respectful, and to show them, as 1 Peter 3 talks about, through the manner of what it is that you are showing, when they see that. And you get prepared for arguments. Not argument as in yelling, argument as in point, counterpoint. and the idea of protection. One of the things you can do is, you've got to understand this, we men, not every man's identical, but we men want to protect our wives. We want to protect our children. And it's just one of the things we do. We're kind of protectors, you know? And so we want to protect, we want to provide. And what women need to do is understand that that's a truth. And if you are elevating his ability to protect, and you praise him in that, he'll grow in that area, it will boil over into protecting others, including the life in the womb. Because God will arrange that his heart be open. Hold on, we got a break, okay, hold on. Hey folks, we'll be right back after these messages. Oh boy, this bothers me so much. We'll be right back. If you want to call me, 877-207-2276. We'll be right back. It's Matt Slick Live! Taking your calls at 877-207-2276. Here's Matt Slick. Alright, welcome back to the show. Let's get back on here with Courtney. Are you still there? I'm here. Alright. So, you need to pray and ask the Lord to change your husband's heart. You need to be ready to have a discussion and ask God to put in place those things that will move him. You need to support him in the areas of his protection and provision and when that is Watered the fruit of that As fruit falls it falls from at a distance from the root because it spreads and it'll go into other areas of life as well And this is what you do Okay, okay Okay, but your church conversation upsets me The conversation from the church came about because I knew that we would in Florida and then met for basically a voting yes or no on abortion rights. And I was like, can I pass out flyers or talk to the church about this issue? And that's how that came about. So they did. They said that they didn't want to, um, it's illegal. to kind of say, I wanted to know if this truly is illegal for the church to say, like, yes, if it is or isn't when this is a church, when what's wrong with them? Well, the government won't let us do it. So we have to not preach God's word so we can keep within the bounds of what the government tells us to do. What's wrong with them? What is wrong with them? They need a spiritual groin kick They need that a man to tell them you got to stop living like this and start living like a follower of Christ Don't be afraid of the government you go forth and you have the right to say what you want to say and if you lose your 50501 c3 who cares What is wrong with churches? That's why I'm angry, Matt, because then the whole sermon was preached about judging others and being legalistic. And I'm just like, that's not my label. I know that I'm very passionate about certain things, especially when it comes to the way women dress in the church. It's become very lenient, very lax. Abortion, things like that. And it's just like, you're judging them. And I'm like, I'm not judging them. I'm asking for the standard to come up higher. If we were meeting the president, just in a certain manner. So why can't we have the same kind of respect for Christ's church? And so I'm really sad, Matt. I'm really sad. He or she who is spiritual appraises things or judges things, yet himself is judged by no one. First Corinthians 2.15, we are called to make judgments. What if a woman came in wearing a string bikini into worship services and sat up front? Would that be appropriate? Of course not. They should ask her to leave. What if someone came in and started yelling during the service? No, you've got to stop that. They understand that there are certain judgments that they have to exercise in order to have coherence in the church service and to preach the truth of God's word. So for someone to say, we don't make spiritual judgments or judgments like this about this, that's foolishness, and it's not biblical. Of course we do. And if they don't know the Bible well enough to be able to know the difference, then they need to step down from the pulpit and get someone in there who can preach. I'd be glad to fly out there, interview them, help them out, and find someone who can really do the job. It makes me mad when I hear stuff like this. It does. Yeah, me too. I feel like I'm the only person there who feels this way in a lot of our circles. So it's almost brought me to some sort of like depression. So it's like, you know, I know I can't be the only one who feels this way about it. So I just, I just wanted to make sure that I wasn't overstepping when it came to, like I said, the tears, as well as me being judgmental or legalistic for wanting to set a standard or wanting my children to see a certain standard. or to hear a certain standard in the church because you can see it all over the, I mean, I just saw a drag queen, drag queen evolution at the, at the theater. And like, if there, if we're not going to talk about it at the church, then the world is to my children, to your children. We, I mean, they all, I mean, I'm sorry. You are absolutely correct. You are right. And you are awesome. you see the truth you want to speak out for the truth and people around you have become uh... complacent and apathetic their love has grown cold the love of god and the love of man has grown cold that's what's happening it's prophesied in scripture i can't leave the church so and it's really hard for me not to be angry when they're up there well because my husband hasn't decided that that's not where we're gonna go anymore Well, here's the thing. If the church is a bad church, you're not obligated to go. And if your husband says you have to go, that's up to you. Because if it's a bad church, if he says you want to go to the Catholic church, you go, I'm not going there. I'm not going to go to a false religion. So it sounds to me like what you're telling me, the elders don't want to cause any problems. So let's not preach on those issues that might offend people. This is exactly the thing we're not supposed to do as preachers and teachers. Okay, okay. Well, I appreciate you, Matt. I appreciate you talking with me. Yeah. Yeah, I appreciate you, and I'm glad that you called, and you sound, to me, like a really good woman. You just keep your heart with Christ, and stand for righteousness, and do it in a loving, patient way, and let God use you. Okay? Thank you, Matt. That's really encouraging during these times. I really, really appreciate that. Well, you know, I would say to you, move to my neighborhood. We need neighbors like you. Oh, I would love that. I would love to move to Moscow, Idaho to meet. I don't know if you know Doug Wilson and his family. I know who he is. And there's some issues there. Yeah, I'm I'm four hours south. Oh, yeah. Four hours south. OK. OK. I understand. Yeah. Thanks, Matt. I pray you have a good night and that you get better. Thanks. I need it. All right. Well, God bless. OK. Oh, you know what really gets me? It really irks me, tweaks me is when pastors don't do their job, when they they say, well, that's how an abortion in the church because we want to cause division. What? like saying we don't want to talk about murder in the church because we don't want to cause division. We don't want to talk about homosexuality, LGBT invasion in our schools, in our culture, in our children's minds and hearts. We don't want to cause division. It's exactly what the pastor is supposed to do. Divide truth from error and equip the Christians for the work of ministry to serve God. Is this what Jesus would have done? I think Jesus would have said in the church, we don't want to talk about these things because we don't want to offend anybody. No. He'd have probably, in such a church, walked over and knocked over the pulpit, and then taken a whip and driven these guys out. Says, get out. A pruning is coming. All right, let's get to Nate, your next longest waiting. We've lost a couple callers. Nate, welcome. You're on the air. How are you? How are you, Matt? Remember me? Yes, you're the guy who's a... You're an unbeliever, I remember. But what do you got? An unbeliever? How dare you? Yeah. So what do you got? No. I was going to ask you a question about politics, but then you already gave the answer. I heard you talking. I like it. But then I came up with the one I was going to ask you, And this is one is about, um, what do you think about Billy Graham? Because I thought we got a break. So hold on. Hold on. We got a break. Okay. We'll talk about Billy Graham afterwards. Okay. So hold on. All right. All right. Hey folks, we'll be right back after these messages. If you want to give me a call, the number is 877-207-2276. Be right back. It's Matt Slick live, taking your calls at 877-207-2276. Here's Matt Slick. All right, everyone, welcome back to the show. Bottom of the hour, if you want to give me a call, 877-207-2276. Let's get back on with Nate from California. Nate, welcome, you're on. Okay, well, let's get it right. I am not an atheist. You should know that. Well, I saw videos from Billy Graham, documentaries on him talking. He says he's from the Masonic Lodge also. He says he's a liberal. And he also is for abortion. And then it made me think. you know how can my the pastor of my church for you to hold things that he said that are you know correct of course though what he haven't been strongly in the whole entire documentary about him yeah they're not correct or don't know how much large and the liberal that he had a very he i've heard them so i've watched them say it Yeah, I don't know about the Masonic stuff, but I'd like to see it. But yeah, he says abortion is okay, and rape, incest, and things like that. And also, he has said this. He said, I used to play God, but I can't do that anymore. I used to believe that pagans in far-off countries were lost, were going to hell, if they did not have the gospel of Jesus Christ preached to them. I no longer believe that. says, I believe that there are other ways to recognize the existence of God. So he's denying that Jesus is the only way. Correct. He's like that also from the faith movement, that people who don't know, haven't heard of God, don't go to heaven. I have another quote from him saying this kind of stuff. And so he was actually teaching some bad stuff. And if I were to pick on Billy Graham, people are going to be offended. You can't touch Billy Graham. Well, if the truth is the truth, he said some heretical things. He did. You are correct. You are 100% correct, just like me. That's why I never had, I never bought a book about him, even though a lot of people like him and stuff, but I've never bought a book on him. I just did my own research on him. I just don't know. I found out these things and it was very disturbing. It was very disturbing to find this stuff out. It's not to say God hasn't used it. I never knew that, you know? And then I saw those documentaries, and I go, I never knew that because he said it live. And I saw him on the Masonic Lodge once. He gave a shake of the guy's hand the way the, you know how they put one of their hands on their, how do they shake their hand with a thumb and then the other hand in the side of their pocket of their suit. We're calling the Masonic Lodge a massive cult, right? Because Walter Martin, yeah, Walter Martin, I wrote about him, and it is very bad. You can do whatever. Long story short, Masonic stuff is bad, and Christians should not be members of the Masonic Lodge, right? Because it teaches some very bad stuff in their higher levels, okay? But your opinion on Billy Graham, what is that? My what? Opinion on who? On Billy Graham. Um, he was used by God in spite of his false teachings. He was used by God to bring a lot of people into the, uh, the kingdom. But, uh, he had some heresies that he taught early on and didn't repent of them. Uh, namely that, uh, the other people can find Christ and not leave their other religions and that they don't even need to hear of Christ. And, uh, we're going to be very, very careful of such things like that. And so he's taught some stuff that's not biblical. then that means that he was not a Christian at all. No, I can't say that. We can have Christians who have varying degrees of error. Hold on, hold on, hold on. This is why it's so important for people to know theology. And then what happens is seminaries, unfortunately, a lot of them have gone liberal, and that's bad. And that justifies a lot of people saying cemetery instead of seminary. But there are some good seminaries. And the advantage of a good seminary is you can learn a lot of good stuff. And it's needed. We need to have this. Unfortunately, there's just a downhill momentum in Christian thought towards feel-good-ism. And don't make waves ism stuff and that's that's unbiblical So, uh, the christian church is weak in america and is getting weaker We need to fix that and anyway, so we need to be able to say things that are true Like billy graham taught some false doctrines. He taught some false things and he did And they're documented on my website So that's it. That's that's the truth is what it is. Okay? Um, I okay. I mean if he taught that uh... doesn't mean that he uh... more or not state but shouldn't rely on pastor keep on saying things that he could have said well uh... i would educate the pastor i'd get information give it to him okay thank you also before that uh... um... i was going to ask you about uh... politics but um... since I come from a Cuban background. I come from a Cuban background. And there's not one person in my entire family who is liberal. There's no way. Especially the way they are. Yeah, because they grew up in Cuba. Right, they grew up in Cuba and they grew up in socialism. Exactly. And they don't want it here in America, which is what the left is pushing for, socialism. They want us to make us into a Cuban. Yes. You are so correct. And you gave me wonderful answers. I want you to know that I study from your web. Wait a minute. I thought you were a different guy. No, no, no. You have the wrong one. Oh, for no reason. I believe in the Trinidad. Okay, I got you wrong. You sound like somebody else. My apologies. Okay, let's say I call myself Short Nate. I also call myself Nathan. That's good. Okay. Well, I hope you remember, I hope you also remember, I told you the story that you live in the same area that I do now, in California, in Bellflower. Oh, yeah, I used to live in Bellflower when I was younger, very young. Yeah, you told me a story and that surprised me when you said it. Yep, off of 91 and Bellflower Boulevard, right there off of Park Street. I cannot believe I remember this. You was 11 years old, 9 years old back then. Yeah. All right, so I got to get going, okay, buddy? You told me the entire story, yeah. Oh, hey, I am glad that you answered. Never in my life will I ever be a liberal or a democrat. Okay, buddy. All right, well, God bless. Oh, one last thing. Is it all right for us to meet? I mean, I'm not a JW. Is it okay for us to vote? Yes, vote. Vote. Vote. We're supposed to render to Caesar that which is Caesar's. Voting is part of our civil responsibility, along with taxes. I love that thing. I love that thing. Okay, thank you for giving me that hint. And I always, I will, I will. And of course, for conservative people. All right. May the Lord always be with you and your family and everyone. I appreciate that. Thank you very much. All right. You have a wonderful day. You too. Same here. All right. Hey, we have four open lines or three open lines, I should say. 877-207-2276. Let's get to Elijah from Pennsylvania. Welcome. You're on the air. Hey Matt, I have a question about the Antichrist's demise. So in Daniel 7-11, I mean in Revelation 19-20, it seems to be two different statements here. So in Daniel 7-11, it says that the Antichrist is going to, hold on a second, let me scroll up to it. Yeah, so it says that the beast was killed and his body destroyed and given over to the burning fire, but in Revelation 19-20 it says that the beast and the false prophet were both captured alive and thrown alive into the lake of fire. So do you see the conflicting here? Well, it's not conflicting, but it's possible that Daniel 7 is talking about kingdoms, too. That's another issue of possible interpretation there, but won't get into that right now. Let's assume that the horn is the Antichrist, and it says that he was slain, his body was destroyed, and given to the burning fire. That's in the physical realm. Revelation 19 20 that's in the spiritual realm. These are thrown alive into the lake of fire which burns brimstone So they're talking if it's the anechoic both are they're talking about different events and different relationships. Hey, there's the music Hold on, but we've got a break. Okay? Hey folks be right back after these messages if you want to call me eight seven seven two zero seven two two Seven six be right back It's Matt Slick live, taking your calls at 877-207-2276. Here's Matt Slick. All right, everybody, welcome back to the show. Let's get back on with Elijah. There you go, Elijah. You're on. You still there, right? Okay. Yeah, I'm still here. Yeah. it looks like daniel is talking about on the physical realm and revelation talk with the spiritual says it seems to be on there you know what what a dead air time i gotta fill it with uh... comments or something you know something here on Yeah, I was just trying to process what you just said, but I want to move on to my next question, because I feel like that's more important, because this deals with deeper theological issues. So, I recently watched the debate on Standing for Truth between Sean Griffin and somebody else on whether or not Jesus is doing animal sacrifices right now in Heaven. and um... uh... so yes so so uh... so uh... you might want to write this down because uh... it's about maybe four sentences in this uh... in this thing that he said and i want you to you know you have it all you know on your screen so you can respond to each point uh... the first thing he said is that he believes in that the twenty-two uh... specifically in verse four he believes that uh... the oxen and the cattle that being slaughtered at the wedding banquet in heaven uh... it's uh... it is a real little animals are having their big slaughtered so that's why he believes that uh... jesus is currently killing animals in heaven and that people because will be eating uh... actual killed animals in heaven uh... said that uh... what was the purpose of the main what's the purpose of them being killed in heaven so-called uh... uh... because he doesn't believe that Jesus' atonement was... So it's atoning sacrifices. So the animals' deaths are for atoning sacrifices. Okay. What's the second stupidly heretical point he's going with? Give me number two. Okay. Let's see here. Well, it is. It's just insanity. He says that those verses are proof that God keeps kosher and dietary laws in heaven. And he said this, this lines up with Jeremiah 31, seven through nine in the two agent. And then, okay. Next point. This guy is, you know, I bet you if you were to get really close to him while he's walking and you're to like put a little device up to his head, you know, he's not paying attention. I bet you could hear the nuts and bolts rattling cause they're loose. I bet you could. And, if you don't hear nuts and bolts, I bet you could hear the whistling of the air through the ears in the empty area of his brain, where his brain thinks it's supposed to be. Probably. Maybe both! You know, just a... Yeah. Okay. Well, you know, I mean, this is so stupid. It's so bad. that it's like i've never i have not heard something that dumb in a long time and i just need to say what it is that is so dumb and he doesn't even know what he's talking about he has no clue uh... he could not argue about this successfully it just doesn't make any sense what's the third part okay go ahead keep going i like stupidity and heresy together they're great it's like wacko mail go ahead okay um... third part uh... let's see he said he said that uh... people you need to be giving a human sacrifice first thing is the end of the uh... please do you know i got for speaking as blessed me but uh... he's in it the human sacrifice person is uh... abomination he says in the old testament according to him this is why he doesn't believe that jesus's death was a sacrifice for our friends and he believed that propitiation and atonement for our sins on the cross is mysticism of, give me love God, is mysticism from a second and third century Orthodox Church. yeah he's uh... he's in how do I say this politely he not only does not have all his paws in the litter box he doesn't have any in and uh... his brain is working as efficiently as a glacier that's how slow moving it is what else could I say on these idioms you know couldn't argue his way out of a wet paper bag if it was vertically pointing down he had chains pulling him out he still couldn't get out right he didn't know what he was doing Yeah, he's demonically inspired or possessed, and what he's teaching is Antichrist from the pit of hell. This guy is playing the fool, and he is speaking foolishness. He's an absolute fool for what he's teaching, and he needs to be addressed as a fool, because he is denying the work of God in flesh. He doesn't understand the biblical doctrines, and he's just simply in the service of the devil. units but that's a third of the fourth uh... listener or you know or or more about what they're going to uh... but but but but i thought what they wanted to add was that uh... if i would have sent you his twenty-minute opening statement which he did upload to his channel. It's just a 20-minute video of his opening statement from that debate. If I send that to you, would you like to watch it for a response video or something like that? Maybe. Send it to me. We'll see. We've got some new projects going on at CARM. We've got to really focus on a lot of different direction for a while. But I may, once a week, do something like this. And a response video may be good because people will probably enjoy my facial expressions. And over-the-top reactions, you know, rather than the analysis because, man, can we say lame? It's out of the book of, he's teaching right out of the book of second hysterectomies, you know. Okay. it just bad news you know that the devil has his people the devil has his servants and the internet allows the demonic to be taught to the unsuspecting and the foolishness and the anti-christ theology this guy's teaching is just abominably it's abominable it's horrible and it's easy to refute but the issue is If I were to debate someone like that who said those things, I'd be astounded that anybody could teach it. But refuting it's easy. But of course, the heretics who are given over to the depravity of their own hearts and minds will not believe the truth. They are, if not reprobate, they are at the very least demonically oppressed. And so their minds are clouded, their judgment is gone. As Jude says, I'm going to read this, because this reminds me of this. Jude says, They are men who are hidden reefs in our love feasts, when they feast with you without fear, caring for themselves, clouds without water, carried along by the winds, autumn trees without fruit, doubly dead, uprooted, wild waves of the sea, casting up their own shame like foam, wandering stars for whom the black darkness has been reserved forever. yeah he fits in that category because to say that the human sacrifice is wrong and the propitiation is uh... is uh... mysticism is uh... is it's right out of the playbook of satan so uh... so yeah i do have a question about one of the things he said so how would you respond to him if he if he if he said to you that um... that Jesus' death couldn't have been an atonement for sin because in the Old Testament they only used animals and they never sacrificed humans for atonement. They used animals, and the New Testament tells us that the animals were not able to atone for them, for people's sins, because they'd do them over and over and over and over again. We need one true sacrifice. In Zechariah 12.10, God says, look upon me whom they have pierced. In Psalm 22, it talks about the crucifixion. In Isaiah 53, it talks about Jesus bearing our sins and our iniquities. So, this is prophetic in the Old Testament. He's going to only go to the animal sacrifices and say, well, they were only animal sacrifices, therefore we can't have a human sacrifice there. It's just simply not warranted. Particularly since the New Testament calls his sacrifice on the cross just that, a sacrifice, a propitiatory sacrifice at that. So, he's a fool. And when I say that, I don't say it lightly. The Bible says don't call people fools. What it's talking about in Matthew 5.22 is just giving them haphazard judgments. You're calling them fools, you're calling them idiots, you're insulting them. Don't do that. But when someone denies the truth of Scripture and denies the essentials of the faith, denies the personal work of Christ, Then they are the spirit of the Antichrist and he'd called out for what they are Antichrists the Bible says in first John to their many Antichrist have already gone out into the world He is a manifestation of that Antichrist spirit and attitude. Okay, that's just what it is. I thank you very much uh... he was ten four four is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins this is why we needed the sacrifice of god himself which is prophesied in the old testament so yeah it's just ridiculous you know and one and one and one thing that like that's like uh... really really strange about him is that uh... that i even though even though like the other churches like catholics and orthodox they use uh... apocryphal books uh... part of their inspired readings uh... he goes beyond that and he uses like almost every apocryphal book from the second temple period as his inspired literature and he constantly quotes those on top of the bible during his debates it's like what are you doing? Yeah, it's because he doesn't know the voice of the shepherd of Jesus. My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. That's John 10, 27. And he says the other sheep will go after false teachers. This guy is a false teacher who's listening to false teachers. So he's in a lot of trouble when he dies. OK? Unless he repents, he's on his way to hell. People say, you can't judge him. I'm not judging him. I'm informing him. He's denying who Christ is and denying the purpose, story, sacrifice of Christ. So as Hebrews 10, 27, no it's not. It's Hebrews 10, 26. If we go on sinning willfully, that's him. After receiving the knowledge of the truth, that's the true gospel. They're no longer made to sacrifice for sins. So he has denied the true sacrifice of Christ. There is no sacrifice to cover him. He's on his own. And if he were to die right now, unfortunately, from what you've said, he would just go straight to damnation without any hope of escape. I don't want that for him, but he needs to be called out as the flaming heretic that he is. Okay. Yeah. Um, yeah. Uh, I, uh, uh... i recently watched the uh... a bible study from uh... simpson even though i don't really watch him like that's the way for when i watch my users are because i know he's also a heretic to but uh... but uh... i watched with his is uh... his bible study all on the trinity and he was responding to sam shimon and he did it excellent job at showing that the trinity to show showing how how the top of the both old testament and the new testament point to jesus as being god of course you do I've written on it, others have written on it. Too bad Sam has gone over to the dark side and become Eastern Orthodox. But yeah, the Trinity is true doctrine. So there's a lot of heretics out there, and it's going to get darker. I've talked to my wife about this. Oh, we're out of time. As things get worse, demonic doors are going to increasingly open. We can talk about that tomorrow. So we gotta go. There's the music, buddy. Good call. All right, Elijah. All right, man. Good stuff. All right, send me the info. Hey, folks, there we go. We're out of time. May the Lord bless you by His grace. We're back on there tomorrow, and maybe we'll deal with some more heresy. Have a good one, everyone. God bless. Another program powered by The Truth Network.
