Well greens welcome to the dividing line, it's a Thursday, I think June 1st Everybody knows it's

00:38

June 1st. I don't remember when this all started happening, but it's it's yeah, it's definitely June 1st and Want to do a quick reminder right here at the start that we have

00:53

I'm not trying to not trying to slip my wrist there a Beautiful knife up for auction on our

01:00

Facebook site from Derek Melton That's called Damascus steel. If you're not familiar with what

01:05

Damascus steel is it's the The handle is not super heavy.

01:12

It's it's not some super It's actually fairly lightweight

01:18

But I think the blade is four inches. You do not want to test the sharpness

01:23

Derek's one of those guys that I have I have this carry because remember

01:32

What's the guy on NCIS Gibbs? Is it nine or seven nine?

01:41

Okay rule number nine Never leave home without a knife never going without a knife and So there is a company here locally that makes these

01:54

OTF knives Ravencrest and They're just super easy to carry

02:00

I mean this is heavier than that one it literally is it's that heavy and He I let him look at it and he popped it out and he checked the blade and this this look of Utter disgust

02:19

Came over his face like that's a butter knife that this is for opening envelopes. This is ridiculous

02:25

And so he better be careful because he took that in and sharpened it himself

02:33

Yeah, so so all of my knives like this are now Nice and sharp for now.

02:38

Anyways, so I reached out to him and I asked him I'm surprised he heard from me from a

02:45

Nowhere. He's in Missouri Fishing right and he's responding to me and he's describing it

02:51

And what amazed me is that when he told me about the handle, yeah

02:56

If you know what a burl is a lot of people don't know what a burl is

03:02

It is the root ball of a tree. Oh, there is a portion of the the root.

03:07

That's just solid round wood and it's amazingly beautiful and it's also amazingly dense and So he he fashioned that out of the burl of what he thinks is a maple tree.

03:22

Yeah, and there's there's blue Something in it I forget what it's called

03:30

Yeah, I can't think of the name either Epoxy. Yeah, something like that because I saw it.

03:37

He showed me it was just a block it was it was a it was a square block and How he gets that into a handle and does all that stuff,

03:45

I I don't know but That's way you got a problem over there We're fine.

03:52

Okay, just to look on your face was that's not the way it's supposed to be or something. So I was concerned and by the way, so Facebook Alvin Omega Ministries Facebook page.

04:04

The current bid is 500 I believe 550 550 okay, so There's your shot to get an awesome blade from Derrick Melton and also help to get me across the

04:20

United States. I just laid out The September trip so I leave in three weeks

04:31

End of June June 23rd for 33 days long long long trip

04:40

Up through Colorado all the way up to Eli, Minnesota And back again, that'll be the farthest north.

04:49

I've certainly gone with well Yeah, I think that's yeah

04:55

Moscow Similar I would imagine as far as north north north goes, but we'll be going through Nebraska and Making a stop, you know,

05:05

I should have brought this up. I'll make I'll talk about in another program, but We'll be making the stop at the the little city that I've used as my example where I was

05:18

I was laying that out because the folks up in Minnesota told me Don't wait on getting reservations for the summer up here because it gets really busy and you might not be able to get in So I put the

05:30

May trip together a while back Because you got to get reservations at the at the various parks and RV parks and It just the route just took me there was a

05:44

KOA I normally go to KOA don't always there's I go to good some good Sam ones too, and there's not a

05:50

KOA right on the route, but It's it's just they're all the same and so I like sameness

06:00

When you when you get in you're tired You don't want to be dealing with new stuff.

06:06

You just want to do it the way you've always done it. Anyway, I Had scheduled a stop.

06:12

I'm gonna be doing some long days really long days my Left arm.

06:18

I'm trying to make sure it doesn't hear what I'm talking about because those long days are gonna be Really ugly and it's gonna be hurting a lot.

06:25

But anyway, I Was gonna stop at this KOA in a small city

06:32

I Forget where it's at. I'll like I said if I'd pulled it up I could tell you and I Already had that on the list.

06:40

It's like, okay, that's a good spot and I'm already working through it and I go

06:46

I need to check our road trip at a omen org map and lo and behold,

06:53

I pull up the map and The same little city out in the middle of the

07:00

Great Plains of America There there isn't a mountain anywhere we found out there and there's there's a church that has written in and said if you're coming through we'll be glad to have you stop and you know, and by the way

07:19

It it doesn't have to be a big And in fact, it normally isn't a big formal meeting or something like that sometimes

07:26

I just get together with the elders of a church You know, maybe just some leaders to the church or something like that have dinner at a local restaurant

07:36

You know some encouraging fellowship something along those lines all the way up to a whole meeting and Right as I was

07:44

I mean literally as I was planning the trip to g3

07:51

I remembered a text message I got from a pastor in Amarillo and so I altered that so that because I stopped in Amarillo many many times and So we're gonna be doing something in in Amarillo on the way out

08:06

So if you want to be on that list, it doesn't mean I'll ever you'll doesn't mean you'll ever hear from me but you can't if you haven't sent in something to Road trip one word road trip at a omen org to say hey

08:21

We'd be we'd be willing and so I have access to that map and then I can put that together with I yeah

08:26

You say why don't you have other people? Schedule this stuff cuz I'm the one driving basically

08:34

I'm the one that has to I got to know what I'm gonna be able to do and where I'm going and If it's all messed up, the only person got to blames me.

08:45

I Got to one place on the last trip and I did not have a reservation. I Don't know it's a lot of reservations to be making, you know

08:55

When you fly, you don't have many reservations to make but when you do this, you got lots of reservations

09:01

You're trying to keep track of and thankfully we they they got me in it was a KOA. They got me and I was good

09:08

But it's good that if something's all messed up, it's cuz I messed it up But Yeah, yes, sir.

09:15

You've raised the microphone for I was just gonna say Because see rich isn't gonna be here next week.

09:21

So I have a feeling that rich needs to get some comments in today Because he knows that next week

09:28

No comments. Yeah. Well, we're gonna make sure that you're you're ready to go You know when you put yourself over on that side on the screen, you're just staring at the edge of the screen

09:38

Yeah, and if you're over on this side, it looks like you're more looking across the way Right now when you're on that side of the screen, it's sort of silly.

09:46

But anyways good. Well, I just you know, Jan has Put so much work into that map.

09:52

And then when you look at that map now, it's impressive. It's amazing Yeah, there are so many dots.

09:58

I don't know how many dots we have right now Mm -hmm, but there has to be what a few hundred you think?

10:04

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah Yeah, and if you're if you're and when I travel and people don't hear me saying that they're like boy

10:11

Wish we had known it's like well, we keep telling everybody about it. So get get that get your church in there and that way we can we can get in touch with you, so Like I said,

10:24

I have about three weeks now. Yeah three weeks from tomorrow No, no.

10:30

Yeah three weeks in the world whoo is when I pull out again and That's a that's a big long one but the one in September There's gonna be a conference in the

10:44

Lancaster, Pennsylvania area And people ask me to mention things like this

10:50

But I can't tell you how many people I've had come up to me at a conference going if you hadn't mentioned it

10:55

Just in passing on the dividing line. I never would have known there is a conference

11:02

In the Lancaster Carlisle, Pennsylvania area and I'll be speaking at that and The venerable well, that's an interesting term the venerable

11:17

Christopher Arnzen, how's that? You know if you're gonna say venerable you shouldn't say

11:22

Chris you need to say the full name the vendor what Christopher? Yes, the venerable if I knew his middle name,

11:30

I would I would throw that in there just for the fun of it Yes, sir. Sir. Christopher Arnzen I'm not sure who knighted him, but he

11:39

I think we did that in Tuscarora One night when we didn't know what we were doing.

11:44

But anyway The venerable Christopher Arnzen is working on arranging a debate as a part of that Conference.

11:55

I hope that I hope that works out as well and He normally he's

12:02

Chris could sell sand Arabs and iced Eskimos. So let's

12:10

And and they would enjoy it. Yes, they would want more they would be asking for more please sir

12:16

So anyway Of course the venerable sir

12:22

Christopher Arnzen is the host of the iron sharpens iron radio program Look it up online and and and listen in I was on just recently

12:33

So That's gonna be the weekend before G3 and then

12:38

I shoot down from Pennsylvania to Atlanta and Then we have myself immolation on the altar of the

12:50

GBTS Seminary on Thursday where we do a

12:55

Discussion of church and state and like I said, I'm the only postie around there so I I have a feeling

13:01

I know what's coming, but I'm gonna be ready and Then speaking at g3 meeting with the folks that are gonna be there

13:10

Big large group gonna be there back at the old location It's so much easier to get to if you fly in I'm not sure how

13:21

I'm I think I'm going to have to I'm not sure how that's gonna work out for me

13:27

Right now my plan is to is to do what I've done before and park at Praise Mill Baptist Church, but it's a huge drive -in and Hopefully my wife's could be able to join me this year.

13:38

And so we'll probably stay at one of the hotels There are a couple nights. I haven't stayed in a hotel Except when

13:45

I picked up the truck. That's the only time I've stayed in a hotel for a long time And I'll be perfectly honest with you.

13:51

That's fine with me Very very fine with me But then on the way back we're gonna be stopping in Louisiana gonna take the southern route home and There's dear brother down there fine

14:08

Church near Shreveport No, not Shreveport. I Again should have pulled this stuff up so so I could see the map.

14:17

Anyways, we're gonna be in Louisiana We'll put all this stuff on the web on the on the website and we're gonna do

14:23

Some stuff on reliability scripture on the way back right after g3.

14:28

I can't Be too slow because I've got to get back before October 7th

14:37

Because we have a little old celebration here in Phoenix for the 40th anniversary of Alvin Omega Ministries and If I if I were to miss that that would probably be somewhat

14:51

Inappropriate so I I think I get back like three days before that at the most two or three days

14:56

I'll have just parked the unit probably by the time we have the maybe I can just bring it down here park it down here and Pull in a straight walk straight in that would be sort of fitting to do it that way

15:08

So that's gonna be a big big big trip in September and then in December heading again again to st.

15:16

Charles, Missouri and Not a whole lot of things to do coming to and from there because it's it's after Thanksgiving and it's before Christmas and there's just People struggle to find places to fit things in there to be honest with you

15:35

But we'll see what we'll see what happens with that. So All that made available by you all providing us with With the

15:45

RV and the super cool I've had bunch of people saying hey, we want you on the webcast.

15:51

I'm like, you know what? The easiest way for me to do that is from our new studio because it really is.

15:57

In fact, here's the here's the Okay, there's there's the it's not plugged in.

16:07

It's not powered on right now, but that's called an ATEM Mini Pro and that's

16:14

That's the one from the studio in in the RV, so it's gonna go back in the studio in the

16:21

RV, obviously and You don't leave electronic equipment purposefully

16:28

In in an un -air -conditioned RV stored in the summer in Phoenix in June Okay, though right now.

16:38

I mean not even It I Did we live through 2020

16:45

I'm telling you the next ice age is coming it really is I'm wondering about it too because record cold in Australia right now because it's their winter down there record cold in Australia and I think the high is supposed to be 91 today and the

17:03

I think the average for today is 102 and We've certainly had 110 and above on the 1st of June I Had the front door open last night that in June Now that's what's what's going on here ice age clearly but You still need to live in a hut and eat bugs to save Mother Earth Biggest fraud ever perpetrated on mankind it is astonishing how many people will not even sit back and go oh

17:38

In fact I read a story I want to track it back down. I read a story About a retreating glacier ah see it's heating up retreating glacier that revealed a

17:50

Roman road a Road a road from the Roman period now first of all it tells you

17:55

Romans knew how to make roads Why don't we? It's just the tech has existed for a long time, but we can't seem to make roads

18:05

I Get every time I fall into a crater on an interstate I just remind myself this would not have happened if the

18:13

Romans were in charge Yes, they knew how to make roads that would last forever But the point is if a retreating glacier

18:24

Exposes a road from The early medieval late classical late antiquity period you know right when

18:32

Rome's falling Then that tell you something Yeah, it means it was much warmer in the past than it is today and I've said this over and over again

18:47

You go to the north of England you go up into Scotland and Ireland and Northern Ireland and places like that All sorts of ancient place names

18:58

With references to vineyards you can't grow vineyards up there. It's too cold but you could back then and There was nobody driving an

19:09

SUV Nobody driving an SUV and every time I asked that I go okay could someone explain from the other side

19:18

How it was warmer in the past? Than it is now Given that your whole theory is that a gas that accounts for less than one tenth of one percent of four tenths of one percent of of the of the atmosphere is

19:38

The big thing it's carbon dioxide, that's that's all we have to be net zero and Net zero means the end of civilization

19:48

Net zero means absolute poverty for everybody except the elite and You're being told that there's entire cults

19:59

There are people gluing themselves to paintings and stuff like that Because they they are absolutely brainwashed into thinking that they are saving the world and they're doing nothing of the kind It's complete

20:16

Balderdash is all it is How did that happen? How is it when

20:22

I ask people? Well, you just don't understand climate. Mm -hmm. Okay, explain it to me

20:29

If if we can demonstrate entire months there were much warmer only 30 years ago and The vast majority of co2 that has been expelled into the atmosphere by mankind has been since then

20:45

How does that work? Uh, well, uh You racist?

20:52

That's that's all they got they have they have no way of explaining Because if it is just simply a matter the more co2 you get the hotter it gets.

21:00

That's just not true. We know that's not true But unfortunately the vast majority of people are just aren't educated and therefore they think it's true and therefore

21:10

They're willing to give up their livelihoods their children their grandchildren their property

21:15

Eating food having hamburgers It's it's astonishing what's happening in Europe the farmers are having to revolt

21:25

Because the government's coming in. Well for net zero, we got to kill all your cows Because they toot too much

21:34

And it's just what we are what we are doing to our children on the basis of a lie is unbelievable, but There's a lot of lies going on it's

21:46

June 1st, how do you how else do we go? What do we know anyway? This is really interesting.

21:55

Let me read you. Let me this is the way to do this Let me just read you a couple paragraphs and I want you to to listen

22:07

Here's a paragraph the second many apply an interpretive double standard to homosexuality

22:14

Simply the Bible has a lot to say about sex and gender and Christians all Christians conveniently skip by the scary stuff

22:21

We don't require rape victims to marry their rapists we don't tell women to lay off the jewelry and We choose not to remember that the

22:31

Bible provides specific instructions for the sexual use in marriage of slave girls We even ignore the

22:36

New Testament's teachings and they are diverse on divorce Allegedly contradictions yet.

22:43

Somehow we think the Bible directly condemns LGBT persons It's pretty clear. We straight people apply the

22:50

Bible to the sex lives LGBT folk in ways. We'd never apply it to our own

22:55

Third the appeal to scripture to condemn sexual minorities requires that we ignore the vast cultural gap between the ancient world and our own

23:03

Again, hypocrisy comes into picture when we read the biblical prophets We ask ourselves about their historical context who were the

23:09

Assyrians was the prophet addressing Israel or Judah? And what can we know about the politics at that time when we read

23:15

Paul's letters Christians automatically wonder about the circumstances Paul is addressing what can we know about the local culture the ongoing conversations that motivate

23:23

Paul to write and Popular religious and philosophical movements in the ancient world. These are routines for questions for Christians But when it comes to sex we ignore the astonishing gap between the ancient world in our own

23:36

Not one biblical marriage resembles marriage in our society No biblical couple meets falls in love and mutually chooses a lifetime companionship

23:44

Some would see Ruth as an exception, but Ruth marries for survival So patriarchal was the culture that the

23:50

Bible defines adultery only in terms of one man's offense against another With everything depending on the woman's status is married or betrothed.

23:57

Many people are surprised to learn this This is not to deny that ancient couples grew to love one another deeply to simply to point out how far our culture is removed from that of the

24:06

Bible, so Okay, likewise our concepts of homosexuality sexual orientation and gender identity have no counterparts in the ancient world

24:14

Free adult men frequently had sex their wives with prostitutes with male and female slaves With other people they could find in the ancient world same -sex sex was almost always exploitive in nature

24:24

No one was talking about homosexual identity or seeking egalitarian same -sex marriage in the ancient world when it comes to homosexuality

24:32

The Bible simply isn't talking about work what we're talking about those who misuse the Bible to condemn gays choose to ignore this reality, so there's a very very standardized modern progressivist perspective

24:55

Fundamentally especially at last paragraph, but the Discussion of the

25:03

Holiness Code Rape victims marrying their their rapists

25:11

Slave girls all the stuff in the Holiness Code things

25:17

Looking at context things have changed Marriage has changed, and then there was no idea of homosexuality as an idea

25:29

Identity as if That somehow is meant to mean something

25:37

In other words well as long as someone thinks that they are by definition homosexual

25:46

Then that makes what they do correct Or proper because that's the only way they can have happiness you see and nobody understood that before in the past We we are the smart ones they were the stupid ones and we've figured all these things out, so this is what you're gonna hear and when

26:07

I listen to well -meaning Christians and There are a lot of you out there well -meaning

26:14

Christians interacting on social medium especially in this month in reference to Well the really disappointing situation at Twitter Where they want to show

26:32

Matt Walsh's What is a woman on Twitter and? Here we thought

26:39

Yeah, and Twitter says no Because twice in the in the video someone is misgendered the most childish

26:51

I Have I cannot have any

26:56

Respect for anyone who even uses that term it is so transparently foolish

27:05

It is so transparently childish What you're saying is you have to buy into the delusion?

27:15

that anyone has and So we all get to run around the world and say you will refer to me as Z sir and the next person you will use we whoa and next person says blue blah next versus D Da and you're supposed to remember all these things and you're supposed to alter your language

27:36

To honor this person's chosen pronouns It's the most narcissistic childish.

27:43

Are you really past two years of age yet stuff? I've ever seen in my life I will not do it and No society that's going to survive.

27:51

Well, it's absurd and so quote -unquote misgendering is

28:00

Simply using the English language as we've always used the English language based upon the reality of the existence of truth

28:13

That there's such a thing as a male. There's such a thing as a female And we don't get to we don't get to blur those boundaries and change them and tell people how we're supposed to be addressed

28:26

So we're being told what what Twitter is saying literally is You must engage in the delusion or we will silence you

28:36

This small minority demands that this happen and we will force you to enter into their delusional state

28:46

There's where we are and We thought Elon Musk had made changes to Twitter.

28:52

Well, he did but The reality is the only way to make consistent changes that will protect

29:00

Liberty is from a foundation That Elon doesn't have

29:06

He doesn't have a Christian worldview It's not there and so Will something be done about that?

29:18

I don't know if we can hope Because if you we are literally looking at a situation where there is no platform

29:30

There's no platform, I mean my even talking about this Could mean that how we are streaming right now

29:40

Could be done in five minutes. It's happened to us before I was talking about this very topic and All of a sudden we were gone.

29:49

Oh disconnected account suspended for a month or whatever it was and That's how it goes and we're talking about delusion here

30:01

We're talking literally about we all have to pretend to have the same delusions as these individuals

30:12

It's it's stunning. Uh -oh Was I being prophetic? No, we're all fine here.

30:19

Um the Feed here is saying that Elon has denounced it called it as a mistake and I'm getting the impression.

30:29

It's being corrected I hope so, that would be nice. That's a new development. Yeah But he put a person in charge as CEO Who's immersed in this?

30:43

He's never going to become free of Having to be hands -on pushing buttons

30:51

Until he recognizes the worldview issue here I Hope so because I enjoyed

30:57

Matt Walsh's thing. I enjoyed the video it was I Love if you can get the other side on camera

31:09

There it is impossible to defend

31:15

The foolishness of The worldview that is being promoted By the

31:21

Biden regime by everybody. Oh my goodness did you see the National Weather Service the

31:28

National Weather Service is Putting rainbow stuff up today The Arizona Department of Public Safety.

31:37

Oh, I am so glad that DPS is Posting rainbow stuff today rather than getting the bad guys way to go

31:46

Arizona Department of Public Safety. I mean It's everywhere

31:54

That's the world that we live in that we're facing and So Back to what

32:03

I was reading, sorry, I Watch Christians trying to interact with this stuff.

32:09

I realize the vast majority of Believing evangelical

32:15

Christians do not want to read pro -homosexual literature, I Don't either but I have and I still do

32:27

Not as much as I used to I've lost track.

32:33

I truly when when Jeff Neal and I wrote Did I tell you that Jeff and I got together well on the last trip

32:40

It was I'm not sure if I sent a picture anything like that, but it was great to great to see him he's really doing well and It was just so neat to have a just a short time with he and his wife he had preached in Right near Georgetown the same morning

32:57

I did and so we got together afterwards. It was it was really neat When when

33:02

Jeff and I wrote the same -sex controversy Right at the opening of this century

33:11

And it sounds old then it then it rats are at the beginning of this century

33:20

Anyway we had to read a lot of stuff that I didn't enjoy reading and I remember thinking even at the time

33:31

I remember I Was that uh, I don't remember if it was something for Josh or summer it was

33:39

I was in a gym and It was either one of summers volleyball games or one of Josh's basketball games or something

33:47

Along those lines. I don't remember which Might have been this gym right over here. Now that I think about it

33:53

Could in fact I think it was I remember sitting up there in the stands

34:02

And I'm reading I think it was Stephen Helminiak Roman Catholic priest supporter of homosexuality

34:13

And you know, I'm having to hide these books But I remember sitting there thinking man.

34:19

There's just a flood of these kind of things coming out It was a trickle back there in comparison to what it is now.

34:26

I mean the the glut of Books promoting that kind of thinking

34:32

I Understand most people don't I read that stuff? Okay. I I've said many times

34:38

I read the heresy so you don't have to but you still have to understand the arguments and So much of what

34:49

I see on Social media is not up to Recognizing what the actual arguments are it could be it could be phrased more pointedly and accurately if We just understood.

35:04

It's just not a matter of quoting a Bible verse They've read the same Bible verses and they have arguments.

35:10

I just gave you arguments right here Well, that's not relevant to us because of this and you have to you have to have thought through the problem is when you think that through is

35:23

When you have to really start considering the how we understand

35:30

The moral content of God's law. I don't remember what year it was that I started preaching the

35:41

Holiness Code series I've linked to it I'll try to remember to link to it again because it it's only becoming more relevant not less relevant with the passage of time but It was at that time

36:00

That because of what Jeff and I did and the continuing challenges of What what is what is what is the moral foundation that a

36:13

Christian has to resist the sexualization of children the destruction of gender the structure of marriage

36:21

Destruction of male -female relationship. What's the foundation or just does Christianity have nothing to say?

36:30

That's when I started tackling The Holiness Code passages and preaching through them and Anybody Who listens that series today would know that if you were to identify

36:47

The position that I was taking and the Method of interpretation that I was using in Looking at each text and Seeking to find its abiding

37:04

Moral significance for today in context in the original language, which we spent time talking about the

37:16

The religion of the Canaanites and the Assyrians and Babylonians and Egyptians and we did all that stuff as part of the background

37:26

It was it was an in -depth series. I think it was 35 or 38 sermons as I recall

37:34

We did all that stuff Anybody listening that today would go that's general equity theonomy.

37:40

I never used the term But that's general equity theonomy specifically

37:47

Looking for the continuing abiding moral principles in God's law without getting bogged down in All of the arguments over penology, which we need to talk about a little bit here later on They would have recognized that and I was forced into that position and the problem is when

38:15

My fellow believers start dealing with this stuff You have to think this through You have to get past the evangelical way of dealing with the law of Moses is extremely shallow

38:32

It's extremely shallow and even the Reformed way Yeah, we look at we understand there are different roles the law and different functions law all that's fine and wonderful But it the the

38:46

Reformers were not dealing with the world we're dealing with okay, they were not

38:54

They were not up against state entities that were literally saying we will take your children from you and Mutilate them for the rest of their lives

39:06

Because that's a good thing to do and that's where we are today That's the state of Washington has done and There's there's no other way to put it

39:17

We will take your children. We will mutilate them Because we say this is right

39:24

Well, you've got to have a basis for saying that is wrong And this is why we'll we will resist that that is wrong, and you don't get that by dismissing the

39:42

Continuity of God's law or by ignoring the fact that in the New Covenant. It's that same law that's written on the heart

39:49

It's not some some woo -woo law that you can't define anywhere It's that same law that's written upon the heart which would mean the continuing abiding

39:59

Principles of truth and what justice is and what goodness is and what evil is

40:05

That is found given to us in Scripture So this is what we're up against Now compare what

40:12

I read what I read and you're all going we don't remember what you read because you've said so much since then With the article now what

40:22

I wrote read from is from a openly avowed progressivist and the only reason

40:28

I'm not giving sources is because Possibility exists that a debate might take place.

40:34

So I don't want to think that it just was Compare what was said there with Dr.

40:45

Moore's article in Christianity today Who is the editor -in -chief now of Christianity today?

40:55

and You will discover a very troubling parallel now, dr.

41:01

Moore wants to talk about I believe in inerrancy I believe every word of God is inspired about but up but up but up but ah, but when it comes to What he did is he wrote an article if you haven't seen it it's all over Twitter But I've seen very very little actual interaction with the article itself

41:22

He wrote an article condemning the

41:27

Ugandan law now I have seen next to nothing as to the particulars of the

41:34

Ugandan law, which means You can't trust any

41:41

Of the mainstream media To get any of this right they have they have absolutely no

41:49

You know when I was in when I was in school, we were taught certain standards of what journalism was supposed to be

41:56

They'd obviously don't teach that anymore and in fact, I was gonna believe that anymore the idea of fairness

42:05

Accuracy lack of bias. That's that's all gone. We all know that And so The term by the way that rich and I had talked about on the last program

42:19

Aggravated sorry aggravated homosexuality wet the whistle here real quick Aggravated homosexuality never got defined by dr.

42:36

Moore and Here's a

42:44

Description of the law the new law would call because it what you're hearing is the new law

42:53

Calls for the death penalty for homosexuality period your home if you find out to be a homosexual

42:59

They take you out and shoot you the next day. That's Not the case the new law would call for the death penalty in Cases of aggravated homosexuality and For a life sentence for engaging in gay sex the state defines aggravated homosexuality as Homosexual acts carried out by those infected with HIV or Homosexual acts that involve children

43:36

Disabled people or those drugged against their will had you heard that I Hadn't heard that That's what the death penalty is for is for if you have

43:53

AIDS you know you have AIDS and You still engage in homosexual acts, which is the best way of distributing

44:01

AIDS death penalty It's a capital crime so You are willing to Put someone else

44:17

To death by doing that to them and so that's capital crime We've had all sorts of laws like that Back, and we still cared about capital crimes.

44:29

We don't anymore. You can do anything anymore well except walk between the velvet

44:37

Barriers in the capital on January 6th, and then that's capital crime. They'll take you out for that one

44:43

Or homosexual acts that involve children oh or Disabled people oh or those drugged against their will oh those those can't be capital crimes

44:58

Right well yeah, that's their saying that's that is aggravated homosexuality

45:05

Well those are horrific crimes you drug someone and then rape them

45:12

You rape a child I think rape of children should be a capital crime anywhere

45:19

That's a just society. That's what a just society does We don't we don't have a just society here

45:25

We don't honor life here, and that's what's so amazing about how far off Pope Francis is

45:34

Because he says there's there's no place for capital punishment If you don't believe in capital punishment

45:42

Don't call yourself pro -life Because you don't honor life The Bible honored life by saying that if you if you take a person's life, then your life will be taken

45:55

That honors life. That's how you protect life but now

46:02

Raping a child should be a death penalty anywhere raping a woman should be death penalty anywhere And I don't mean death penalty 35 years later down the road disabled people

46:18

That's not a capital crime. We'll see here's a real problem first of all Uganda still has capital offense

46:25

We don't let's just be honest in the vast majority of the

46:31

United States there is no capital offense any longer and Having the proper foundation for capital punishment is vitally important Because places like North Korea CCP Muslim countries will engage in capital punishment for Stuff that is not a capital crime from God's law

47:01

The state becomes God Under communism and Then therefore the state engages in capital punishment for any questioning of the state's authority

47:18

That's why there has to be the control that comes from an objective standard

47:24

Which we happen to have in God's law But this aggravated homosexuality

47:34

All of these things are clearly Appropriate capital offenses and so the real horror from the

47:43

West is remember this I am sitting in the country that is exporting this activity with my tax dollars and I know that I've said over and over again

48:00

How do you ask God to bless? When this nation is intent upon exporting evil to the rest of the world with the riches that God has

48:13

Abundantly given to us which he can very well take away very quickly and I think is going to for that very reason

48:23

When when in the not -too -distant future You are struggling.

48:28

We are all struggling to get enough calories in today We're living in a cardboard box

48:37

Infrastructure is gone Hear me there was a reason why it happened.

48:44

There is a reason why this judgment has come and It is because as a nation

48:52

We are promoting immorality and evil all around the world and God will judge it.

48:58

We're using the very Riches and blessings that God gave to us to rebel against his law that will bring judgment

49:05

That is not a popular thing to say. I Get that I understand it is not popular to tell people these things

49:15

Doesn't matter has to be said has to be said has to be warned We have to be faithful to that so It's fascinating to me that basically what

49:29

Dr. Moore does in this article He says

49:40

Misinterpreting he talks about context and Very very very plainly.

49:47

He does not have an overly robust doctrine of God's law and an application today.

49:55

He talks about The Internal church discipline, that's true

50:02

But what he doesn't address is what happens if the state and this is what they always dodge

50:09

Because evangelicals have been dodging this for a long time What happens if the state?

50:18

Wants to do What is right? Before God we're not talking about how does the church handle us know the church the church cannot execute anybody.

50:28

No, nobody's Nobody's arguing about that but if the If the magistrate

50:37

Comes to the church if if your church, okay

50:48

Jeff just got back last night Jeff Durbin got back last night from I believe he was Alabama and he was

50:58

You know, they're they're working on legislation Abolish human abortion equal protection and He's doing what he does

51:11

God's given him the calling and the ability to calmly and yet passionately sit in front of Legislators from both sides and Clearly present the case

51:28

Demonstrate when the leftists start trying to trip him up that they have no idea what they're talking about tie him up in pretzels and make him look like what they should look like the ethical pygmies they are and If let's say that the

51:49

The governor of the state of Arizona, which we currently don't really have one. We've got a puppet that stole it but other than that Uh, let's say in the not -too -distant future when

52:02

Something like this might happen the governor state of Arizona comes to Jeff Durbin says you have for years been

52:14

Promoting The end of human abortion We have come to see it. This is what we want

52:19

God's blessing in our in our state now How do we get it? How do we get it?

52:26

What's our standard? How do we deal with capital issues? How do we deal with?

52:34

Marriage, how do we deal? With gender, how do we deal with?

52:42

Abortion what's our standard? How do we do this consistently is the church supposed to sit there and go?

52:48

Um Well, um No, you're supposed to have an answer when when

53:01

Paul Spoke to Felix and Festus and Everybody else that he ended up having to talk to and people we don't even know who he ended up talking to He went to the scriptures

53:17

He Always presented the Lordship of Christ, but we seem to think that that's just go well, what would

53:23

Jesus do? Well, what would Jesus do? What would

53:28

Jesus do What would he point people to? Would he not point people?

53:36

To the very law that his death fulfilled the penalty of who

53:46

Did we don't even have a truly Trinitarian understanding of this You don't

53:53

Couple years ago at g3 when I preached from the Greek Septuagint on Isaiah 6.

53:59

What was one of my primary points? The one who was seen there by Isaiah was

54:08

Jesus He was the Holy One and he's the Holy One declaring judgment upon Israel He was it was his law

54:22

We sort of separate him out. Well, it's just a you know, it's just a father that well It's not that it's not the father's or not the spirits, but it's we believe in the doctrines of Trinity and Yet we sort of it.

54:35

Well, he's over here someplace and we're not getting good. No What what answer are we gonna give and are we really gonna say a nation?

54:48

cannot choose to seek to honor God in the protection of The marriage bed male and female roles and children

55:03

Both in the womb and out of the womb a state does not have the right to do that Yes, it does.

55:11

And that's the state that will be blessed and if this nation

55:18

Wants God's blessing and when God's judgment starts falling people are going to be asking why?

55:24

What do we do, how do we repent? Well, where are we gonna point them?

55:33

Where's dr. Morgan a point? I don't know Well, you know if y 'all were in the church, then we could do this, but you know,

55:41

I just I don't know. It's just Who knows Gotta have an answer gotta have an answer

55:51

So it was really weird because He Talked a lot about you know

56:00

Yeah, here we go Not everything that's a sin is a crime

56:05

Well, that's given to equate all sin with crime without the authority to do so is itself a sin against God to take the name

56:12

The Lord our God in vain if the historic Christian vision of marriage and family is true and good and beautiful as I believe it is

56:17

Then we demonstrate that truth goodness and beauty to our unbelieving neighbors through our witness not by threatening to kill them

56:23

See he makes no distinction. He doesn't seem to even understand sphere sovereignty What does the state do to honor these things can the state protect the family as true and good and beautiful or Does the state have to allow?

56:42

The profaning of marriage. Is that what he's saying? Is dr. Moore saying that up until Obergefell the state was wrong to forbid

56:54

Same -sex marriage. It sounds like what he's saying. I can't believe that but it sounds like what he's saying if It was right in 2014

57:07

Why is it wrong now to forbid same -sex marriage and Saying unleashing the violence of state ordained execution imprisonment and surveillance on gay and lesbian

57:20

Ugandans is a condemnable act of authoritarianism and a violation of the self -evident and unalienable rights of life liberty and the pursuit of happiness really

57:36

Really do you think the founders would have agreed with you? because they

57:42

Made all those things illegal, too Right the people who wrote life liberty in the pursuit of happiness did not agree with your use of life liberty in the pursuit

57:53

Of happiness, but that aside. Why didn't they because they had a Christian worldview? They're working with and I don't see that Russell Moore is still operating from a

58:04

Christian worldview he's drunk deeply at the secular state well

58:13

Who gets to define life and liberty in the pursuit of happiness, how do you define these things the state gets to do that?

58:22

This isn't unleashing the violence of state ordained execution But let's just stop for what it actually calls for are you saying it is wrong for a state?

58:33

To execute someone who rapes a child That's what it's about Didn't you read it?

58:46

I don't even know what to say To do such a thing is a matter of power not of conviction it demonstrates not a commitment to the

58:53

Bible's authority But a rejection of it. I hope people will read the whole thing and I hope you read through it and then realize

59:03

Man, there is so much happening right now That requires us to have a solid foundation

59:13

Upon which to reason consistently, I Don't know how much longer we're gonna have the freedom to say these things out loud

59:27

I Keep telling people archive the programs download them keep them put them on a hard drive inside a inside of EMP proof plastic bag

59:38

I Don't know how long we're gonna have it but someday

59:45

You may be the one you The people are asking the questions to because everything's falling apart and you may be one of the survivors

59:55

I mean a lot of the rest of us might not survive the coming onslaught. You may be one of the survivors will you be able to give a foundational meaningful defense

01:00:08

Of what you believe and say This is why it all came down This is why it collapsed.

01:00:15

This is why judgment came And this is how we avoid it in the future This is how we honor

01:00:21

God in the future. This is how we set things up to regularly seek to honor God This is how we set it up.

01:00:28

So it doesn't just become something that we allegedly pass on genetically but we call every generation to a a

01:00:36

Re -recognition of the vitality and the centralness of God's truth in the world he created he's the one that wrote the owner's manual and We've got to live by the owner's manual.

01:00:53

It's all there is to it So there you go. Now as I said next week

01:01:05

Here's my suggestion for you If you've got one of those programs that can record stuff

01:01:12

As it's streaming and stuff Fire it up because The inevitable disasters that will come from my trying to run all this on my own will be worth recording and and You might want to send some of men.

01:01:29

They may play some of them for our 40th thing just to mock me this is what happened when

01:01:35

James tried to do it all himself and You know, I'll be sitting here and you'll hear me talking and there will be a test pattern on the screen

01:01:45

Or just all sorts of Really bad stuff is

01:01:50

I'm predicting it now. It's going to be happening next week because for some reason I I consider my trips

01:02:00

To contain an element of vacation and the most people would not Most people would not consider that a vacation, but I enjoy it

01:02:10

But rich for some reason is getting a vacation, okay, I think it's because you know, he's married and You know my wife

01:02:19

She just goes she's going on vacation next week and whether I'm not gonna be around.

01:02:24

She didn't care It's just like see you later. That's what working for the airlines does for you She's got friends.

01:02:30

She goes sees it's all good But rich is actually gonna leave and I even know where but he's gonna do the vacationing thing and so I was getting close to doing most of it on the road and From what he's saying the way this thing is going to be set up over here is

01:02:53

A way that I can do it on the road too if like we got into a spot because we could

01:03:01

Get into a spot where we have no Connectivity to the outside world where the the the park

01:03:09

Wi -Fi is from 1998 and is like a 2400 baud modem, some of you don't know what a 2400 baud modem is, but I Oh, I know.

01:03:20

I I had a 300 baud modem once that was fun Or where there's there's trees everywhere, so I can't get to Starlink and there's no cell service

01:03:30

It still happens. There are Places in the world where that takes place and Allegedly We're gonna have it set up to where I could still do the program.

01:03:44

I'm not sure what good it would be Until I could then find a place it would have connectivity to upload it, but we can still record something on I guess

01:03:57

That yes this thing here You said that's a one terabyte yeah one terabyte man look at that Now my my my

01:04:10

Mac at home has an 8 terabyte SSD drive and when I think about that size,

01:04:16

I just because I My first computer didn't have a hard drive like that's a lot of space, but Anyway will

01:04:28

I be recording to that or will I be live streaming? So you're gonna be recording to that and then uploading okay?

01:04:37

Yeah, all right, so I won't be that's the same live live Technically I guess but I'll pretend that I am

01:04:45

We'll see how it goes we'll do our best and You know if everything just blows up and smoke starts coming out of this and things like that then we'll just We've actually taken time off in the past I guess when

01:05:02

I used to travel overseas You know well actually you'd bring people in and do stuff like that.

01:05:08

Yeah, but anyway Well, we'll do the best we can next week and see how it see how it all goes

01:05:15

I'm sitting here watching. I guess there's been some type of a homeschool thing there's a homeschool thing right near our office here and I guess a big testing day or something like that, and it's so great to see so many families that have recognized

01:05:30

That sending your children off for 15 to 21 thousand hours to be trained by Caesar will result in you having a bunch of little

01:05:41

Romans and Now they've seen that Caesar hates your children and you too and So it's wonderful to see it, but I always sit back and go they can't do that in Germany and You just know you just know

01:06:00

They're gonna come after us here, too. Do you just know it's gonna happen? Anyways, thanks for watching the program today like I said next week could be interesting.
