- 05:27
- Yes, and you can do a Mortimer yeah, and and all these different characters, and you're like no every character has a beard so even
- 05:36
- Bernie Sanders Has a beard yeah, that's the challenge of having a beard and and I'm tempted to actually cut it off Just to do just a bunch of different characters
- 05:45
- We could do like on the street with Mortimer, and I could do a bunch of Bernie Sanders I need to make it so they have beards yeah
- 05:51
- Bernie Sanders needs a beard Maybe we can maybe write him and ask him look you know Embrace the you want to earn my vote embrace the

- 06:07
- I just got my it's actually the shortest I've had my hair in a long time Yeah, it feels kind of weird, but I did
- 06:12
- I did get my haircut It's weird though because when I I I'm usually so busy. I can never even stop to get a haircut
- 06:18
- I felt guilty because I have all those like hair glue in my hair And I went to get it cut and hair glue, and I was just got a torch.
- 06:24
- Yeah, yeah I was very bad bad for the moment. She's gonna like melt the glue first so um no character is worth being beardless
- 06:32
- Amen Q 1 0 0 9 Well, let's talk about what we've done this year.
- 06:38
- Let's talk about what's happened and by the way you guys can feel free to Interact with us like you're already doing you can feel free to ask questions
- 06:46
- Geological questions yeah plans about the studio, whatever well, let's talk about this Because when we got here in April it was just an empty space.
- 06:55
- That's right. That's right. We spent two months Creating this awesome place, and you can't see behind me, but I mean it's just from you know the green screen behind us and The office to the writers room and everything about this place is amazing
- 07:13
- Yeah, so started here with nothing, but an idea and now we've done 20 some episodes yeah, which is a great first season.
- 07:21
- That's the that's the run of an average TV show yeah So you know so we've done that and we got more shows to come and more stuff in the works
- 07:28
- And and you know we're gonna take a two -week Christmas break and come back and next year.
- 07:34
- It's gonna be It's good a lot God has blessed us with Like more film equipment, yeah,
- 07:42
- I've ever used in my life yeah, you know and and you know we have aerial drones and cinema cameras and Cinema lenses and and now you know so we were told we were talking to Doug Wilson Yeah, he's you know the story of raking rocks, right?
- 07:56
- That's right, and I'm like oh, man. We got more than rocks now You know like we don't we you know you have to use what
- 08:03
- God gives you and just say okay God you've given us this so we're just gonna use it and now it's kind of like oh, man.
- 08:09
- We got a lot of stuff Yeah, we got it. So how do we use this stuff in a way? That's worthy of the gift.
- 08:14
- Yeah, I'm a giver you know yeah So it's gonna be awesome. We've been tremendously blessed with all this new equipment so you can expect from Apologia Studios Documentaries on stuff related to the gospel and just a bunch of other stuff.
- 08:27
- We want to really Bring the media that we're doing under the authority of Jesus and really make it fun make it awesome make it glorify
- 08:35
- God and so next Year is gonna be a really big year for us Lord willing with all that He's given to us.
- 08:41
- We just plan to do a lot of real new episodes of the plot new episodes of the plot our web series Just somebody wrote an iTunes review that said they found the show because of the plot because of the plot wow that's amazing
- 08:53
- So somebody has seen yeah one person Yeah I've seen the plot what I've become the plot is that Testimonies about God rescuing people
- 09:00
- God is the author of the story he writes us into his story And so that the idea is you have like the I am second videos that talk about Jesus and talk about people's really amazing
- 09:08
- Testimonies usually with like famous people But we felt like there was a lack in the
- 09:15
- I am second videos of like a clear communication of the gospel So you want to have like really cool? Testimonies and a clear communication of the gospel so people can actually watch the plot and they can come to Christ because they hear the gospel
- 09:26
- That's that's the point yeah, so let's look pretty and it is gritty. It's real like dark
- 09:32
- Yes, you know yes, it's really let's go through some of these all right so many people
- 09:38
- So many so some people probably want to know what's the deal with the beards are most presuppositional theonomist coincidentally hipsters
- 09:45
- Or is it a biblical thing well? This is kind of interesting we're not hipsters,
- 09:50
- I'm not a hipster and Yeah, somebody the other day identified I think
- 09:55
- Apologia Church is a hipster church And I think if you were to walk into Apologia Church and say to people there you guys hipsters
- 10:01
- They'd be like what's a hipster. They wouldn't even know what that is. I know it's it's now a lot of young families with kids
- 10:07
- And I just hate shaving Basically, we just like beards. It's just fun to have
- 10:13
- Working at Radio Shack, and they made you shave all the time, and I couldn't stand it.
- 10:18
- It was the worst thing ever yeah There's really nothing theological behind it. We just we just like the beards and it happened we and We hate paps to beer which is like a hipster thing and and I don't think anybody would really had
- 10:31
- Apologia Church consider themselves a hipster, so When are you seeing Star Wars? I'm seeing
- 10:36
- Star Wars tomorrow. You're going camping out right now My kids my kids are actually going at 5 a .m..
- 10:43
- I think they're going to get in line Just to get to get good seats, and so I'm going at 7 o 'clock tomorrow opening night.
- 10:50
- We had somebody who was on standby Waiting for the clock to tick so they can immediately purchase the tickets for the 7 o 'clock showing so we're gonna see it at 7 o 'clock
- 10:59
- We're gonna see it at 7 o 'clock same place. That's right. It's got a 97 % rating on Rotten Tomatoes I know
- 11:05
- I know it's like that. I mean for a science fiction film Yeah, and the people that saw it thankfully they didn't do any spoilers
- 11:12
- I wonder if they had a sign anything when they went in like to sign that they would like not reveal
- 11:18
- I'm sure I'm sure it's up on certain website Yeah, I find it like but you know people probably did it in a way not to trace it back to the best time ever to Take a
- 11:26
- Facebook fast. Yeah That's right. Don't do it So yeah the reviews from people that saw it at opening night the red carpet thing was just all really amazing they saw
- 11:37
- Dwight Schrute from Ryan well yeah from the office said that JJ Abrams killed it that it was absolutely amazing
- 11:44
- Patton Oswalt said it had the best final shot of any Star Wars movie Yeah, that's what
- 11:51
- I keep hearing Peace in the form of a son God is with us Atlanta, Georgia Jamie says share a story from your recent temple visit good conversations
- 11:59
- How do they treat you after all these years of visiting during Christmas? You're gonna get to see
- 12:05
- The conversations Marcus was there we got some great footage and we even used the drone outside the
- 12:10
- Mormon temple Which you were freaking out. Yeah, we got drone shots about the temple And so hopefully you'll get some really good content and conversations and the interesting thing is if you look at our
- 12:20
- If you go right now an apology of studios don't X out on this tab But if you look at apology of studios, yeah, make sure you're still watching you'll get to see
- 12:29
- Just tons of videos, but they're actually just a blank screen Which is the audio so we
- 12:35
- I've even used my phone for those there's an HD recorder on here We even bought like Radio Shack cheap recorders years ago
- 12:42
- Just to get the audio and so we have like you know some of those maybe have like a hundred thousand views or more
- 12:47
- Just the audio and it's really blessed people people have come to Christ out of Mormonism and the Watchtower because they listen to those videos
- 12:54
- But now you're gonna get to see What actually what it looks like you're gonna get to see the footage so a good story
- 13:01
- Well, there's one Where we were we thought we were kind of done and we were leaving the west side of the temple
- 13:07
- We ran into two more missionaries and an older Mormon gentleman and the guy just stood up in your face
- 13:13
- Yeah, and said thus saith the Lord. Yeah, it was I said, I said,
- 13:19
- I'm just trying to get their attention I said why do you guys believe Joseph's a prophet and he sort of puffed his chest up and he said
- 13:25
- Because he is a prophet and I testify to you in the name of Jesus Christ and he kind of and then he stopped and he goes
- 13:32
- Sorry, and like yeah, so I said, okay and so I said but which Jesus and so this continued on to a pretty good conversation that ended up with the
- 13:41
- Mormon missionary the elder that was there afterwards that was left asking if he can give me a hug
- 13:46
- And so I hope you guys are good to see that really soon. And so that's one story that's taken place I went to the debate you guys did in California wanted to say hi, but I knew
- 13:54
- I would have been really awkward Anyway, ha ha ha you should have said hi. It was I would have liked to have said hi to you
- 14:03
- Let's see here How would you answer the big evangelical push lately about how covenant theology led to the slaughter of Jews?
- 14:10
- Michael Frank that's interesting actually Did you see the the
- 14:15
- Douglass no the Joel McDermott a little debate I think it just happened Oh Joel had the debate.
- 14:20
- Was that the premise of the debate? Yeah Well, I think I think if I remember correctly it was with Sid Roth or somebody
- 14:26
- Okay that is associated with Sid Roth that just finished a film. Okay about essentially how like covenant theology is anti -semitic and Kind of led to like denigration of the
- 14:37
- Jewish people and those sorts of things. It's really interesting because While you can find in history from some reformers some some pretty nasty things said about the
- 14:49
- Jewish people There is no connection between Covenant theology and a low view of the
- 14:55
- Jews as a matter of fact Really, I think what people need to get grounded in is the fact that the
- 15:03
- Bible does teach that There is an Israel of God and Jew and Gentile true
- 15:09
- Jews Spiritual Jews Jew and Gentile are in this one Israel people of God and here's the point
- 15:17
- We would say that anybody who identifies as Jewish because they're a physical descendant from Abraham And says well,
- 15:25
- I'm a Jew, but they reject Jesus As Mashiach is not truly a
- 15:30
- Jew. They're just not Jewish God doesn't have two brides The Bride of Christ and then the the people of Israel over here in the
- 15:38
- Old Testament God referred to his people as his wife right and that they broke covenant with him and Jeremiah 31 31
- 15:45
- And God talks about the new covenant He talks about how he's gonna make a new covenant with the house of Israel and he's like the covenant
- 15:52
- He says not like he made before the covenant which they broke even though he was a husband to them now notice he actually describes his relationship with Israel as He was their husband and he's gonna make a new covenant
- 16:04
- But in the New Testament if you read even John the Baptist in Matthew chapter 3 John the Baptist says to Jewish people in his day that boasted in the fact that they were descended from Israel or Abraham he says basically don't say to yourselves.
- 16:19
- We have Abraham as our father He says God can raise up from these stones Heirs of Abraham and the whole argument in Romans is interesting
- 16:26
- Romans chapters 1 through 3 The Apostle Paul goes right after the Jewish person who thinks that because they're physically
- 16:32
- Circumcised that that makes them a descendant of Abraham or a Jew. Isn't there also a national promise though still in Romans?
- 16:39
- Well, that's what's interesting in the future Yeah What's interesting too about eschatology and this will kind of I think
- 16:44
- I'll kind of get there is that You do see in our New Testament Jesus condemning people
- 16:50
- John condemning people who say they're Jewish, but they reject Jesus and so therefore are not real
- 16:55
- Jews in Revelation Jesus says to people he says those who say they're Jews. They're not they lie
- 17:01
- They're a synagogue of Satan. They were physically descended from Israel and he says they're saying they're
- 17:06
- Jews. They're not they lie They're a synagogue of Satan So here's the point that people who are covenant theologians would say is that you're not
- 17:14
- Jewish because you're descended from Abraham physically You're a true Jew and a child of Abraham if you're of the faith of Abraham and nobody who rejects
- 17:22
- Jesus as Mashiach is Of the faith of Abraham So if somebody today is in the land of Israel and they say
- 17:28
- I'm Jewish, but I reject Jesus there by biblical definition Yes But that doesn't mean in any way that you're anti -semitic right as a matter of fact
- 17:38
- You want to highlight what the Bible says about what it means to truly be Jewish and a child of Abraham and that's of the faith of Abraham and only those who believe in Jesus are of the faith of Abraham and so I Think it's important for us to say let's go to the
- 17:54
- Bible to say what does the Bible say about those who are true? Jews and Paul says in Romans chapter 2 that those who are true
- 18:00
- Jews are those who have the circumcision of the heart Not of the flesh and you are not a Jew because you are descended from Abraham physically as a
- 18:07
- Jew however, I would say that Eschatologically speaking we talk about end times views
- 18:13
- It was the post -millennialists that said that there was a great hope
- 18:18
- For the people who are in the land of Israel for those who people who are identifying as Jews physically
- 18:24
- There's a great hope for them in the future that Jesus is gonna have victory over the world which includes the national people of Israel being brought into the people of God and Saved that there's gonna be total victory in the world, which includes the
- 18:38
- Jewish people They will ask to repent, right? That's that kind of how it sets it up that because I heard someone saying that could be wrong
- 18:43
- But it was like, you know, they'll be jealous From the nation. Yeah there's people who have gone that route to said that that will be what
- 18:51
- God actually uses to spur them on to come into the Faith that God's inclusion of the Gentiles, right?
- 18:57
- But what's interesting here about eschatology Marcus is that when you look at like that the eschatology of the left -behind series
- 19:04
- It's pretty awful for the Jews Like when you look about what's in Store for them people who are like, oh, it's all about the people in land people land.
- 19:13
- Let's get it back to Israel Let's get him back to Israel so they can be slaughtered in the tribulation It's like two -thirds of the
- 19:20
- Jews slaughtered in tribulations. Like that's a that's an awful ghastly view for the
- 19:25
- Jews in the land and but the popular eschatology of the day even says let's get the people in Back to the land of Israel so that we can usher in the coming of Jesus, right?
- 19:35
- Get them back to the land get them back to the land so they could be slaughtered It's really I think the post -millennialist that has the ultimate hope for the people who identify as Jews who as of right now
- 19:46
- Don't accept Jesus because we say that one day Jesus is gonna put all that under his feet and they will have all come into relationship with Yeshua with Jesus So I hope that helps and it was a long answer, but let's see here.
- 20:00
- Oh, no, not eschatology already mechanic. Yeah Paul real says when was
- 20:06
- Revelation penned? I highly recommend. It's the best book I've ever read on the dating of Revelation Before Jerusalem fell by Kenneth Gentry before Jerusalem fell by Kenneth Gentry It's about the dating of Revelation and looks at the internal testimony of the book of Revelation to say what does it say about the?
- 20:24
- Dating and it also it also goes into the external historical corroborative
- 20:30
- Evidences and testimony of the fathers and the historical church to talk about the dating of Revelation I would say the dating of Revelation is somewhere between 64 and 66
- 20:40
- AD Shortly before the destruction of Jerusalem, and I think that makes a lot of sense out of John's statements
- 20:47
- From Jesus where it says he's coming quickly. He's coming quickly and soon the soon time indicators in the book of Revelation So it makes a lot of sense if you see it that way, but I highly recommend before Jerusalem fell for an answer to that What else somebody asked if I was wearing a
- 21:05
- Calvin shirt from mission aware? Oh, what is that shirt? It's a it is it is John Calvin. It's a
- 21:10
- John Calvin shirt. Yeah, so Thank you to our sponsors this year. Yeah, that's right mission aware olive tree and Yukon's beard have been
- 21:20
- Fantastic. Yes, they have and also the school we go to Whitfield Whitfield, yeah, so they've been great.
- 21:26
- Yes, and if you have a business we would love to talk to you in 2016 about sponsoring Maybe some more shows.
- 21:34
- Yeah. Yeah, not just apology or radio just some other things Yeah, absolutely.
- 21:40
- There's always room for sponsors Like I said if we have to wear NASCAR suits with badges
- 21:49
- Let's see here Wow, okay, the plot is awesome. I can't wait for more.
- 21:55
- Thanks Matt Taylor. Appreciate you guys did in California Oh, you want to say? Oh, I did say that. Oh, I'm backwards here.
- 22:00
- Okay Way off. Okay. Jeez, you guys are intense with all these eschatology questions Speaking of beer, what's your favorite
- 22:08
- Philip bun? What's your favorite? Well, I don't drink a lot of beer I mean hardly really ever at all, but if it's offered to me in a special occasion, my favorite is
- 22:20
- Organic chocolate stouts. I think it's Samuel Smith's organic chocolate stout The strain the yeast strain they use for it is the original one they use like a hundred years ago
- 22:31
- Guinness is the same. Is it really? Okay, and it's organic Chocolate it is just amazingly smooth and it's actually super low stouts are usually really low even on the alcohol content
- 22:43
- So you don't get really sleepy if you have one, you're not really tired. Yeah, I like Guinness Dogfish had anything but I'm a big
- 22:49
- IPA guy. Oh, really? So anything really hoppy? Oh, yeah. Yeah. Um, let's see here
- 22:55
- How's the TV network response? It's good
- 23:01
- I Guess from the network. They love us. Yeah, so it's kind of hard because They don't have like Nielsen ratings.
- 23:12
- Oh, yeah, because it's like a million dollars an episode Yeah to get Nielsen ratings so Wow Are you serious?
- 23:19
- I'm very serious. Oh, wow. Yeah, so You know, they're not gonna pay the money for Nielsen rating So you don't exactly have an idea but I think we can tell by our subscriber increase per month
- 23:30
- Like, you know, we got a lot more subscribers than we ever thought we would this time of year this fast
- 23:36
- Yeah, and so I think we could tell by that every weekend When the show airs there's seems to be a jump, okay, and so I think that's good
- 23:44
- We've gotten some great emails. Yeah, and some some complaints from people who just don't get the humor. Yeah Logan Collins Asks, what are some resources for the transmission of the text of the
- 23:57
- Bible and where we get our Bibles from James White? That's an excellent question This might seem odd To say initially but the
- 24:06
- King James only Controversy is a fantastic book to kind of break you into an understanding of the transmission of the text of the
- 24:14
- Bible and it Dr. White educate you on what they wrote on How they were preserved how many we have and so that's a good sort of like Beginning and opener to like this is where we get our
- 24:27
- Bibles from and dr. White has spent time Defending the transmission of the text of the Bible he's worked as a critical consultant for the
- 24:35
- New American Standard Bible and He's held some of these manuscripts in his hands That's my favorite book to introduce people to the subject
- 24:43
- But there's also a really really good book that you need to get by Michael Kruger who I think is the president of RTS one of the locations
- 24:50
- I think and the name of the book is canon revisited by Michael Kruger It's fantastic because it doesn't just deal with the text itself
- 24:58
- And it moving through history But it deals with how we can know as Christians that God has preserved his word on the basis of God's own self -revelation and how the
- 25:09
- Christians came around that text and Protected it and how we we as a church
- 25:14
- Acknowledged the the Word of God as the Word of God It's important to note that we talk about canon and the books that are there
- 25:23
- It wasn't the Christian Church that created the Word of God. It was the Word of God that Created the
- 25:28
- Christian Church and Michael Kruger did excellent in that book I think it is the best book You can read about the canon itself and understanding like how it was put together and so Michael Kruger canon revisited the ace asks
- 25:48
- Hi, just recently came across your channel. Yeah, if you're watching this right now Share it on Facebook and Twitter let people know that there's a live show happening.
- 25:57
- Yeah, okay So question was the ace hi just recently came across your channel and also have recently been introduced to presuppositional apologetics
- 26:05
- Would you mind explaining this a bit to help me understand this better? I would point you first to Our YouTube channel, which you're on right now.
- 26:13
- We recently put up a the first session of our apologetics
- 26:18
- Course. Yes, that's up there right now. There's also a bunch more up there even a discussion
- 26:25
- I had you can subscribe for a dollar if you're not already subscribed. That's right right now the end of the year
- 26:31
- Yeah, so so it's only one dollar donation right now the first month for all access which gets you all of those things
- 26:37
- At apology or radio .com, but if you look on our channel, you'll see the kind of basic apologetic sessions
- 26:44
- I've done that should sort of explain presuppositional apologetics, and I just did something yesterday with dr.
- 26:50
- James White We responded to the criticism of a guy who's now an apostate he's abandoned faith
- 26:59
- It was really kind of strange criticism He couldn't quite tell where he was coming from if he was a Christian that was just trying to critique it or or what?
- 27:07
- It turns out he's not a Christian and so we responded to that critique So I would point you to Alpha and Omega ministries on YouTube.
- 27:13
- It's a last episode that dr White just uploaded we spent two hours. I think in 15 minutes responding to this man's criticism that should answer a
- 27:23
- Bit more in terms of like engaging with maybe criticism But I would also highly recommend if you're just beginning to get into this.
- 27:31
- I would highly recommend Dr. Greg Bonson versus Gordon Stein Greg Bonson versus Gordon Stein Debate with an atheist and it's free on YouTube.
- 27:41
- It's there. I think there's a couple of them on YouTube right now It's about two and a half hours long and you get to actually listen to the
- 27:47
- Christian world You defended in debate with an atheist That would be Greg Bonson Gordon Stein And if you want more go to apologiaradio .com
- 27:55
- and you'll get just a ton of stuff Did you oh sigh Sigh yes, did you do a
- 28:03
- TV show aside? We actually we should explain this. Yeah So sigh came down here we did a
- 28:11
- TV show and a radio show and then we did the bot the the
- 28:16
- Bonson conference and somehow in the midst of that Every single person from me to you to Luke.
- 28:24
- Yeah to Rebecca to the homeschool kids Completely forgot there was even a show.
- 28:31
- Yeah with sigh and so people are sighs asking Hey, wouldn't it be great if you did a show with me and we're like, yeah, we should yeah
- 28:39
- And he was joking and none of us like so there was literally a month that went by before we realized
- 28:44
- Oh, there was a show aside. Yeah, and I looked at the footage just like oh, wow, the footage is still here It didn't even remember anything.
- 28:50
- Yeah It was really a busy couple of weeks for us,
- 28:57
- I think that's what it was. We just forgot. Let's see here The best question is is
- 29:06
- When is sigh gonna do answer the full radio like he keeps talking about That that'd be a good question.
- 29:12
- Yeah. Wow. There's so many you guys are going so fast. Okay. Let's see here. Some people are
- 29:17
- Okay, let's see. You go a little faster Well, we already did that one Let's see where Jesus call her
- 29:27
- Okay How would you how would you use Isaiah 9 6 where Jesus is called wonderful counselor mighty
- 29:33
- God everlasting father prince of peace to explain To a Jehovah's Witness that Jesus is God without making them think you're a modalist
- 29:41
- Craig that's a good question and I guess maybe I'm wondering why why you're asking in that way because What we would try to show people is that there's one
- 29:48
- God And three eternal persons the three persons share the one being or essence of God I think maybe you might be asking about the everlasting father part people often think
- 30:00
- Does that mean that Jesus is the father actually the the words there mean the father of eternity not
- 30:07
- Heavenly father, but the words mean the father of eternity in essence What Isaiah 9 6 is saying is that he's the eternal one the father of eternity
- 30:16
- It doesn't mean he is the heavenly father. So I hope I hope that helps In describing that to a
- 30:23
- Jehovah's Witness What else? Forrest Putman asked guys, how would
- 30:36
- I witness to an agnostic? Um, I we actually have a video up if you go to Apologia Studios again
- 30:43
- You're on that and you look through the videos the past videos. There's actually one that says
- 30:49
- Jeff Durbin I think versus an agnostic or something like that. I was on the street with it with with the church
- 30:56
- We were actually at Planned Parenthood bringing the gospel there and I ran into a guy who was challenging us and our team
- 31:02
- And he was an agnostic a pretty bright guy and there's so there's a whole 12 -minute discussion there
- 31:09
- You can hear the actual engagement so you can even just YouTube search Jeff Durbin Agnostic and that video should come up.
- 31:16
- I hope that helps you guys and Craig said that was what he was asking.
- 31:21
- So good Craig. So there's there's there's the answer this right here A Robotic scribble said hey just wanted to say
- 31:31
- I almost became LDS last year you and Apologia Studios helped me to see the truth That's awesome.
- 31:37
- Praise God. That is awesome. Praise God Way to go That's awesome
- 31:43
- Would you ever debate someone on homosexuality Harrison asked? Yeah, I think it would just depend if it was a
- 31:51
- Professing believer that was trying to say Homosexuality is is okay and holy and good.
- 31:58
- I would I would do that and that'd be a fun debate it would be a good debate and Let's see here.
- 32:04
- Let's see. What else is going on Yeah, we did Let's see
- 32:22
- Yeah Joaquin Fox, I hope I'm saying that right I'm starting to meet to study with and disciple a girl who is
- 32:30
- Really new in faith and she has been attending an LDS Church. I want to be sensitive but not lie any advice
- 32:38
- Well, once again, I'll point you to our channel and there are just loads of actual discussions with Mormons With I think a
- 32:47
- Mormon Bishop Mormon apologist Mormon gospel video we just made yes.
- 32:53
- Yes. Yes. Yes We the best some of that video that we made we just did a video look in our videos or our latest feed and you'll
- 32:59
- See that we have a like a 13 -minute video of the gospel for Mormons. Maybe you could even send this girl that video
- 33:06
- I try to go through in that video some of the basic distinctions between Mormonism and Christianity and try to give the gospel of Mormons maybe share the video
- 33:16
- And if you have more questions go through our whole history. I've done sermons on this For Christians on how to witness to Mormons.
- 33:23
- I've also had lots of conversations that are recorded you can listen to And if you wanted more
- 33:30
- I would go and pick up dr. White's book. It's called letters to a Mormon elder It's fantastic.
- 33:37
- Read that book And if you want to learn about the history of Mormonism read one nation under gods by Richard a bonus that I think that should
- 33:44
- Be really helpful for you. And in the end, I don't want to sound glib but pray for her and Because in the end prayer is the winning shot.
- 33:54
- It's God who opens eyes It's God who draws people to himself and takes hearts of stone out and give gives hearts of flesh
- 34:01
- So I would highly encourage Praying and seeking God and just praying for God's mercy in her life
- 34:08
- So yeah, somebody wants to know if we're going to reason rally 2016 is there gonna be a reason?
- 34:14
- First I learned about it Philip. Is there is there really gonna be when is it when that like that's a good question
- 34:21
- Philip if you can answer that question If there really is I didn't know like it's playing together, yeah
- 34:28
- Here's here's let's go. My answer Initially is absolutely We would definitely want to do something like that.
- 34:36
- So if they're really having a reason rally 2016, let me just say If God is willing you betcha.
- 34:43
- Absolutely Yeah Let's see here. What would you recommend for witnessing a seventh -day
- 34:49
- Adventist? Boy, that's tough Thanks Philip there is right on they do have some great
- 34:57
- Vegan grocery stores. Yeah, you and your veganness seventh -day Adventists Doc, see here's the thing.
- 35:04
- Dr. Walter Martin put them in his book the kingdom of the cults and he did so for a very particular reason he said that there were aspects and segments of seventh -day
- 35:19
- Adventism Adventism that were Orthodox that did teach the gospel
- 35:25
- There was also the cult segments of seventh -day Adventism And so he was trying to sound the alarm and warn
- 35:33
- Against the cult aspect now the religion itself began on the basis of this false prophet and this false teacher
- 35:40
- And so that's I would say I would never recommend somebody going to seventh -day Adventist churches
- 35:46
- It does not preach the gospel consistently me. Are there a seventh -day Adventist who are Christians?
- 35:51
- You know the same way there are Christians within Roman Catholicism, but ultimately I think the
- 35:56
- Holy Spirit drives them out and they depart They do not preach the gospel on the surface of it.
- 36:02
- You need to make sure that you are going If you're going to a seventh -day Adventist Church, I would highly recommend that that you that you find a better Church and When it comes to witnessing the seventh -day
- 36:13
- Adventist, I would recommend dr Walter Martin's book the kingdom of the cults in his section on seventh -day
- 36:19
- Adventism to To speak to people that are in that movement again There are I know people in the seventh -day
- 36:25
- Adventist movement who are Christians despite Seventh -day Adventist Adventism and I would encourage them to really depart from that communion.
- 36:34
- I hope for repentance and Really that that movement to just move away from its roots in its early beginnings
- 36:43
- Which really began as a cult and started on the basis of the teachings of a false teacher and so Kingdom of the cult is excellent
- 36:54
- I'd have to think through a little more about some more resources resources that I have on that but Hopefully that helps a little bit.
- 37:00
- Did you watch any of the debate last night? I didn't I didn't get to see any of it I was busy. So they're doing there, you know, like the one complaint about Ben Carson is it's like he's always wanting to sleep
- 37:10
- Because he's so quiet during the opening statement. The very first thing he did is hey I'd like to give a moment of silence for the
- 37:17
- San Bernardino victims And he closes his he's on the set. Are you serious? I was just like, oh, oh, no
- 37:24
- So I think all the talk show hosts are really gonna go after him for that. Yeah Wasn't the best move
- 37:31
- I don't think yeah You should plant a church in Utah Jeremy Holmes God willing someday plant a church in Sonoma County God willing someday we are
- 37:43
- Working to plant a church right now in the island of Kauai Marcus and I are leaving with our team
- 37:49
- In January for a week to Kauai to basically scope the island out and prepare to send the team out there
- 37:55
- Marcus is gonna get a lot of footage 68 ,000 people in Kauai, it's a very tight -knit community and it's just wide open for the gospel
- 38:07
- It's dominated in many ways by the cults right now Mormonism Jehovah's Witnesses There's a lot of Roman Catholicism Church of Christ and a lot of nominal
- 38:17
- Christian communities But it's wide open for the gospel great opportunity to communicate with an island full of people that like to talk
- 38:25
- And so we're very excited. What do you say to people right now though? They're like Kauai yeah, like a vacation town like yeah, it's like surfing like what is it?
- 38:36
- Yeah, I think people initially here and I think that's why there's no good churches in Kauai That's a great
- 38:43
- That because that's what everyone thinks is they think are you gonna go plant a church in Kauai? Come on, but when you go to Kauai you realize 68 ,000 permanent residents and the cults are there.
- 38:53
- Yeah, but where's the solid Christian communities, right? And there's only one reformed church that we found in the whole island of Kauai One right and when we talked to the
- 39:02
- Christians that were out there including the reformed church They all told us no one's doing evangelism on this island except for the cults.
- 39:08
- They're coming out Daily to our doors and they said that we're hungry on this island I mean that was like from the north side to the south side of the island
- 39:15
- That's what we got when we went out and scoped the island out and investigated and interviewed people And I think that's the truth when the reason there are no solid churches out there
- 39:23
- I mean, that's not to say there aren't Christians out there But you know really in force and really taking that island for Jesus is
- 39:30
- I think a lot of people think that they say Oh, you're going to Kauai to plant a church. I'm like what they need Jesus to people in paradise
- 39:37
- Need Jesus just because they live in paradise doesn't mean they're going to paradise and they need
- 39:42
- Jesus but for us it's an important opportunity because we Let's just put our cards on the table
- 39:47
- We want to leave such a lasting impact for Jesus in the gospel Then we put places and things under his feet for his glory
- 39:55
- And so we want to use both where we're at now in Tempe and the island of Kauai We want to use them as opportunities to bring those whole places to Jesus.
- 40:04
- So that really is our mission We are trying to bring the Gospel of the kingdom into where we're going so that when we die and go home to a
- 40:12
- Jesus we left behind such a mark for Jesus by his grace and according to his power that it's undeniable and We want the whole island to come to Jesus.
- 40:21
- So we have a slogan that we borrowed from John Knox He said give me Scotland or I die and we have a slogan give me
- 40:28
- Kauai or I die And so we're working in both places Tempe and in Kauai, but we're going there a
- 40:37
- Robotic scribble. Could you list some things on why Catholicism is not Christian first and foremost because they deny the biblical view of justification
- 40:46
- By faith in Christ alone apart from works of law Roman Catholicism in the
- 40:53
- Council of Trent just read the Council of Trent Officially Anathematized the biblical gospel.
- 41:01
- So in the book of Galatians the Apostle Paul in chapter 1 Anathematizes any other gospel than the gospel that he's preached and the gospel that he confronts there was a gospel that was essentially faith in Jesus and a work of law for Justification and that's what he anathematizes.
- 41:18
- Well at the Council of Trent Rome anathematized Paul's gospel and So for that reason, especially
- 41:25
- Rome is is not Christian and has a false gospel You can go into all the other issues of idolatry the issues of prayers to the
- 41:35
- Saints the merits of the Saints the additional merit of the Saints and Mary you have
- 41:40
- Mary as co -redemptrix and co -mediatrix a Bible says there is one
- 41:45
- God and one mediator between God and men the man Christ Jesus and So I mean there's a lot of things we could talk about what
- 41:51
- I say Fundamentally, the most important thing is what separates Rome from Christ and the biblical gospel is the issue of justification
- 41:58
- And how a person has peace with God Rome does not have peace with God They do not have a gospel that brings you peace with God.
- 42:07
- That's why you have things like purgatory That's why you have things like penance Their view of justification is simply not the biblical view of justification.
- 42:16
- And so I agree with Sproul on this I think Rome officially fell into apostasy
- 42:23
- Officially fell into apostasy at the Council of Trent when they declared anathema on the gospel. So okay.
- 42:29
- That's my answer to that We should wrap it up Well, let me look through here real fast to make sure we're not gonna miss anything
- 42:35
- When is King Ginger going to repent? Of his heretical views on Luke Skywalker being on the dark side.
- 42:44
- I'm Certain that Luke Skywalker Is Kylo Ren.
- 42:50
- Yeah. Yeah, you are and we'll find out tomorrow and listen Everything that we have seen that points.
- 42:56
- Otherwise, yeah pure propaganda. Yeah, it's it's a it's a strategic Scientology kind of type deception
- 43:06
- Everything every time an actor says that's an absurd idea She's playing the game.
- 43:12
- Yeah. So yeah. All right. Let's see Let's see somebody asked how do you get a gross sweet beard?
- 43:18
- And so maybe I should just throw out you cons beard comm one of our sponsors has amazing beard oil
- 43:24
- Yeah, and you can get it there. Okay is hell forever. The answer is yes. That's the way that's how
- 43:29
- Jesus describes it That's how the New Testament describes it as eternal conscious torment
- 43:35
- And that's what you will get each and every single time in the New Testament just basically take all the text about hell in the
- 43:42
- New Testament and eternal punishment and you'll see that that always and every time is Is is a description of eternal conscious torment?
- 43:51
- Let's see here. You Did you guys see the Ligonier article on Star Wars links to ancient religion?
- 43:59
- I didn't get a chance to read it, but I I did see it come across my feed Okay, this is what's important.
- 44:05
- I think let's talk about Star Wars for a second Star Wars doesn't purport to be a Christian film.
- 44:11
- No, it's not saying it's a Christian film People who like Star Wars and enjoy the cinema and the action and the story and the drama
- 44:19
- Like myself for example realize that it's only a story, right? I'm not buying into the worldview and here's the thing because of the gospel because I'm saved
- 44:28
- I can enjoy image bearers of God doing a good story
- 44:34
- Being very creative making things beautiful without fouling prey to the false
- 44:39
- Worldview they're preaching I'm able to filter through that worldview One of the things that's interesting about Star Wars is that with the obvious new age things that that are that are that are there
- 44:50
- On the screen there is still elements of Star Wars that are inescapably
- 44:57
- So just to plug, you know urban theologian vocab Had a guy on talking about Star Wars wrote a book on it
- 45:04
- Uh -huh in the gospel and Star Wars and whatnot And he said that although Lucas may have intended to have like a
- 45:11
- Buddhist dark side light side sort of thing Yeah, he failed and He wrote more of a
- 45:17
- Christian narrative ultimately in that you have you have good and bad and fighting for light and then
- 45:23
- Redemption of a character and stuff like this and he Pointed out just some throw out there watch urban theologian radio to go in a lot more detail
- 45:29
- Well, it's kind of interesting how image bearers try To go against God and sometimes they fail
- 45:36
- Yes, and then like even in their attack, they actually wind up doing the complete opposite and I hope that brothers and sisters that we
- 45:46
- Start raising up people that do art so well to the glory of God that we have
- 45:51
- Christians that actually make films that are as good as Star Wars. That's the one thing that's when you watch like we were watching the red carpet and I'm just like Man, like this is the craziest thing ever.
- 46:05
- You see they built like this two mile wide Red carpet or whatever down the street and and I'm and there's talking about how there is no film in the entire history of film
- 46:14
- That has the passion behind it as Star Wars does and I'm just thinking
- 46:19
- One day there's gonna be a Christian who makes a film that has this amazing Christian worldview and it's going to surpass
- 46:27
- Star Wars like Star Wars will be like the thing that was beaten for the first time and it could it could be a
- 46:35
- Christian Film that'd be amazing. That would be awesome. That's how we need to just probably start thinking of My daughter sailor,
- 46:42
- I guess she's watching live right now. She said answer this question Do you love your daughter more than Star Wars?
- 46:48
- The answer is yes much much much more It's not even a close comparison.
- 46:54
- I enjoy Star Wars. I love my daughter and yeah, so and here's the thing to see
- 47:01
- I I one of the cool things about Star Wars is that I get to Talk to my kids about The worldview we see on the screen
- 47:12
- Yes, and I get to engage with that with my kids and my kids understand Because they're raising their Christian home with a biblical worldview how to filter out that's unbiblical and here's why that that's not true
- 47:22
- This is why so we get to engage with it and I just want to say it It's just seems so obvious. I get to hang out with my kids and have a blast.
- 47:30
- We get to have fun. We love it Okay, let's see here. Somebody asked a question. How do you explain the
- 47:35
- Trinity? One eternal God eternally existent as father son
- 47:42
- Holy Spirit three distinct persons We have a video that we just put up about two or three months ago.
- 47:48
- It's an hour -long discussion I gave on the Trinity. I highly recommend that to you. Let's see here.
- 47:53
- What else? Do you have any tips on growing a sweet beard? I already said you can spear calm
- 47:59
- Yukon's. Okay. There you go Let's see here that we're to answer that one Let's see
- 48:06
- How do I explain who Jesus died for to my atheist friend like did he only die for the people he would save or everyone
- 48:14
- I the first I wouldn't talk about that Initially in the sense of like who the elect are with an atheist
- 48:20
- I would really because you don't you don't see that in a New Testament I like a discussion of who the elect are and who
- 48:26
- Jesus died for you always see in a New Testament a Description of who Jesus is what he accomplished his death his burial his resurrection
- 48:34
- And the call to repent and to believe I would point you to John chapter 10
- 48:40
- John chapter 10 is Jesus Discussion that he has about him being the shepherd and him laying his life down for the sheep and think about what he says here
- 48:48
- He says that I'm the Good Shepherd. I lay my life down for the sheep
- 48:53
- And he says his sheep know him and he says that they follow him and he says that he has other sheep
- 49:00
- Which are not of this fold he says, but I must bring that them I must also bring and he says they will become one flock
- 49:07
- One shepherd and he says this in the same text of him saying he's the Good Shepherd who lays his life down for the sheep
- 49:13
- He says to people who are challenging him. They say something to the effect of you know, how long gonna keep us a suspense?
- 49:19
- Are you the Messiah just say it and he says I told you He says and the reason you don't hear me is because you are not of my sheep my sheep hear my voice
- 49:28
- He says they follow me they come he says I give them eternal life. They're in my hand.
- 49:34
- No one can snatch them from my hand They're in my father's hand. No one can snatch them from my father's hand So think about that for a second and John 10
- 49:41
- He says he's the Good Shepherd who lays his life down for the sheep He tells people who are rejecting him.
- 49:46
- The reason you don't hear me is because you are not of my sheep And he says my sheep hear my voice.
- 49:52
- They come I give them eternal life He makes a distinction between the sheep who are his that he lays his life down for and those who can't hear him who are
- 49:59
- Not his sheep. So that's what I would point to We should wrap it up Yes coming the questions keep coming.
- 50:06
- They don't you guys aren't stopping. Uh, let's see here Why don't you answer this one because that's a good one
- 50:16
- D Ver D ver gum says it is okay to watch violence and movies and comic books. I would say yes
- 50:21
- Okay, why because it's not real violence, okay, but you had a good explanation a while back you talked about Portraying sin in a righteous way in media and then there are ways to portray evil
- 50:36
- That's not evil. Okay, and then there are there are some things that are good that can't be portrayed
- 50:43
- Yes, right. So pornography sex that stuff can't be portrayed because that's a private
- 50:51
- Intimate act. Yeah violence, however, it's not real violence, right like Chopping off someone's head now if you're really chopping off someone's head
- 51:02
- Not right a good thing or if there's an intimacy scene if I said, yeah
- 51:08
- Yeah, because you can't really fake intimacy. That's right. Yeah, you can't fake intimacy So you can't fake intimacy, but you can't fake violence and it doesn't and I think there's also to like What some some things like for example, like a lot of like if you watch like like a real
- 51:28
- Like like a Christian being martyred or something. Yeah, like that's not sinful either Yeah, right because there is or like an aborted baby picture or stuff like that So so they're like there's
- 51:39
- I think there's a lot of room for violence. That's not the same thing as sex I don't think those are the same categories of evil
- 51:46
- Yeah, so so I would say that so that's my answer I wouldn't like lust after watching martyred videos
- 51:54
- Yeah, like then you have an issue. Yeah, my daughter asked another question. What is it? Like when mom doesn't have coffee?
- 52:00
- It's it's bad. I mean just it's bad. You don't you don't want to be there. It's bad
- 52:08

- 54:15
- Dr. White and I did two hours and 15 minutes addressing his ex Jesus yesterday.
- 54:21
- I highly recommend that to you guys I hope it's a blessing to many of you guys I don't think that would ever take place because I don't think that There's safety and in terms of integrity on from his side
- 54:35
- Justin being forthright about what his views are and those sorts of things if there's not a level of trust
- 54:40
- In the sense of someone being open and forthright with their views I think that big makes it very difficult to have a very positive meaningful exchange that is actually beneficial for people
- 54:50
- So as of right now I think the discussion that I have a dr. James White answering his exegesis and refuting it is
- 54:59
- Pretty and that is good enough. And so I hope that that helps people Somebody said
- 55:05
- Joel J. Can you pay ahead for a year? Yes, and you get a discount when you donate like that And so let me just ask you this
- 55:17
- Yeah, sure. Let's just do it. Yeah, dude. All right one thing that keeps coming up in the feed We want to make sure that we're not, you know
- 55:25
- Missing things that are said is a gentleman named Island online news keeps obviously blowing the feet up Saying please remove the copyright strike against me.
- 55:35
- I want to say to you respectfully as a brother as of right now We have no intentions of removing any copyright strike against you
- 55:43
- If you guys are curious about this gentleman and why he's doing this island online news, basically
- 55:48
- He Uploaded one of our stuff. He takes videos from other ministries commercializes and commercializes them uses them on his his channel
- 55:57
- And so we put a strike against him because he took our content put it up. Here's the thing. We're not associated with you
- 56:04
- We don't know what you believe. We don't know what things are on your channel We don't want our content on your channel because we don't we're not with you.
- 56:11
- We don't know what you believe We know nothing about you We don't want people to have other teachings associated with our teachings that are in fact
- 56:18
- Not our teachings and one of the other reasons why we won't remove the copyright strike against you
- 56:23
- I'll go ahead and say it publicly is because of your public behavior You've basically gone on all of our videos and you've said things about us that are not true
- 56:31
- And so as of right now with that attitude of a lack of repentance for what you've done We won't do it
- 56:37
- So and he just told sigh that please don't put up a copyright strike if I put up your stuff, yes
- 56:48
- Yeah, so sorry guys about that, but I'll make sure that gets answered is joy coming back
- 56:53
- Michael Frank She's in town. She's as she got back She took a break for a while and she worked on a farm and so she's back and now she has another job
- 57:02
- And so we're trying to work out the schedules right now so she can be on regularly But Joy's around she hangs out with our family all the time.
- 57:10
- She's on the Ryan show. Yeah, she's on the show with Ryan I'll be up tomorrow and Let's see here
- 57:17
- Mechanics that help us grow this thing in 2016 speaking of his beard One thing
- 57:27
- I did see in there I don't want to miss it. I forgot what your name was. I'm sorry You had asked the question, how do you use presuppositional apologetics against a
- 57:36
- Muslim? That's a fantastic question. And what I would point you to is to dr James White's debates with Muslims because what you see is
- 57:44
- Presuppositional apologetics is about standing on God's own self -disclosure his revelation of himself
- 57:49
- And so this is the standard right here So, how do you engage a Muslim you stand on the Word of God and you bring the word a word of God to bear?
- 57:57
- Against any system and you do an internal critique of their system to show how it doesn't comport with the
- 58:04
- Word of God and It's self -contradictory and it's ultimately self -refuting So for example, you would demonstrate that Islam comes hundreds of years after God's revelation in Jesus Christ And yet Islam distorts the message of the scriptures.
- 58:19
- And so you demonstrate that Jesus said this about himself He said this about his word and then
- 58:24
- Islam comes along later and distorts that message and so you press the antithesis
- 58:29
- You bring the Word of God against their whole system. And so I highly recommend Dr.
- 58:35
- White's debates with Muslims. They're all over YouTube. I highly recommend his book What every
- 58:40
- Christian needs to know about the Quran by dr. James White and that's what I would do to start
- 58:47
- Is that is that good? I Think I think this has been a good first show live show test.
- 58:54
- Yes, I think it was and so I think I'd like to encourage you guys all to pray for us pray for Apologia Church Apologia studios
- 59:05
- Apologia radio Apologia TV. These are all ministries of Apologia Church we're grateful for you guys for your prayers for your support for your love and When I say pray for us,

- 59:39
