Part of I'm live. I'm trying to get this stuff ready for Facebook first. Okay I guess. Alive. What's that. My computer's acting awfully wiggy. Wow. Oh you don't have the thing you just did. Because in Mormonism you have a pre-existence.
What like this. So in Mormonism because Godfather and the godmother have been here and they make babies you're all kind of born up there and you come down to earth and you're in family. So Mormonism appeals to the family and you can be sealed to one another to children to relatives and various things marriages and things like that so that you can be joined and keep family relationships in heaven.
And it's sealing. If you're not sealed then you won't have anybody to really hang around with. But I don't really know the extent of what that is. Yeah they can visit. Yeah there's different levels but how much with a ceiling really accomplishes I don't know.
Because you're with each other. But are you forced to stay with each other. I don't know.
Somehow keep us all together as an eternal family or it's right. Well at the.
When we went to the temple last night they had a film of how H last day sort of nature and I bet with names and he said heaven would not be heaven if I my family Holland if you're home thank you without my wife and my children.
Right. So wouldn't be heaven. Yes it would be. Jesus is what makes it heaven. It just demonstrates to you that they don't understand how great heaven is how great the presence of the Lord Jesus is to them.
It's about family. Because it's a man-made religion. That's what they've got to offer. Yeah molten sea. It's that basin of water with the twelve oxen around. I think I don't know I can't remember for sure it's been a long time since I started.
I think it has to do with a ceremonial cleansing that might be representative of baptism some have said. But what I want to do is actually read up on this all this and go through and study the significance of each one.
I've just not done it for about 25 years for cleansing. But it wasn't because I don't think it was my immersion. I think was just a dipping it was a symbol. And with the 12 oxen symbolizing the 12 tribes of Israel.
So the priest. And you get a lot of stuff. You can. You know I don't know I'm not an expert on this. But the 12 oxen represented the 12 tribes. And why would you have a basin of water that the priest would go in that were represented by the 12 tribes.
Well 12 tribes ultimately represent the revelation of God. You know all the symbolism could get into it. Which is why I want to read a book by some experts. You know one or two books by experts who've studied this and say this is probably what it means etc.
The Jews blew it. They didn't recognize the significance of the temple. But the Christians of course do. And there are books. One of them is I actually have it as a small paper paperback. The tabernacle is one of them.
The temple is another. In fact I remember one of the things with a tabernacle that is instructed is that the pillars that uphold the tent are gold on the inside covered with wood on the outside. And why would you have that.
You know you think gold would be on the outside. No it's because divinity in humanity of Christ. That's why. Okay. Another question comment. I can't hear you.
If you would that'd be awesome just stop at the tape because they will say.
That the reason they don't need that is because the sacrifice of Christ was accomplished and so therefore they don't need to have any sacrifices blood sacrifices in the temple anymore. Okay. But the blood sacrifices were done away with when Jesus blood was shown in the cross and Matthew 27 51 the temple was veiled what was destroyed but yet they put him back.
Which is a contradiction. Because if the sacrifices are done away with that was where the sacrifice was done behind the blood was put. But they don't need that anymore. But they put it back. So they're very inconsistent and how they they see that.
And so they'll just say but we have now is the ordinances for our salvation. Which is you heard the quotes this the ordinances for salvation exaltation become God's. And none of that was in the temple.
None of it ever. It's ridiculous. So anyway other comments questions. No I have to get on there. Yeah I should have been talking during the break I should have got this going. So let me get to YouTube.
The what apostasy following away. Oh according to Genesis 3 1 through 6 doubting the Word of God altering the Word of God contradicting the Word of God. That's just what's in those verses. And then subjecting everything to your feelings all.
Right. So I'm going on YouTube here and there we go. So do you think the devil knows that some Christians recognize the occult influence within Mormonism. Yes since I just said so and that's where. Yep probably Joe.
And he does not like them. Right. My Mormons. I don't like. Okay that's not saying that I don't like Mormons. No Mormons are fine. Mormonism is the problem. So this is I just logged in so I haven't seen all the text.
If everybody has the comments or questions it'll catch up. Okay I couldn't get Facebook and I can't log in. Now I gotta do all this stuff to set it up. And I just didn't do it right now. Okay yeah a lot of the Mormons used to think that the Aztecs and the Incas from the Central and South America were actually the Nephites Lamanites or descendants of them or break-offs from them.
And then there's this rumor of someone called cuts quite a quaddle inverted quetzalcoatl and blonde-haired guy. They say see that was Jesus. And no it's not so what it's Cortez. He was blonde-haired boys.
Some people said that I don't know. It's like yeah that's true. So that's the rumor. And so some of the Mormons would say see look these wrote these out that reminds me actually of something the archaeological finds of them Aztecs and the Incas verified Mormon Mormonism.
That reminds me back in college I had a professor art professor that I got to know and went over his house one time and he liked archaeology from South America and he's a Mormon. And he said oh see this right here that proves more the Book of Mormon is true and he's pointing to various devices various things.
I'm like I didn't want to argue with him. I just said no it doesn't. But you know this it does whatever is you know. So I just went on because there are times you fight something you when you don't you're just so tired of it.
You know he just believed it. No it doesn't do your homework. So they looked for it but genetically speaking it doesn't work. Now when I was on it I went to see that the the pyramids in Mexico last year and we had a two-hour bus ride to get there and the tour guide talked about Mormons.
He brought it up the Mormons who say the Book of Mormon Aztecs Incas and he was actually descended of one of them and he talked about a blue spot on his back and the Jews don't have that and he just nailed it and he said no there's no possible way that that's the case with them and he knew and genetics don't support Mormonism either.
So now the Mormons are kind of backpedaling about a lot of stuff and say well we haven't discovered the cities yet except that the Book of Mormon says the cities were you know just huge and all over the place.
Yet when we found Incas and Aztecs artifacts and cities buildings well those aren't the ones but they found out the genetics and the evidence doesn't support the Book of Mormon. So there's different theories and Bill McKee, a friend of mine, he knows that the various theories.
Yet there's names for the theories and he can go into that. I don't know them. Oh yeah. It's a joke. Mormonism is such a false religion. Oh yeah Ted horses were here back 400 BC but they weren't. They're brought over by the conquistadors.
And then there was silk and steel. The Book of Mormon says was here way before they were ever introduced huh. Chariots with horiots with horses and some creature cumin or something. I can't remember what it's.
Kumalin. Kumalin. I can't remember kumalin skubalon. That's the Greek word for feces. And thank you very much. One Greek word he knows. Joe's I'll get to that question Joe in a minute he's got a question.
What. Sure. Okay. Yeah I know one of those guys names Ken. Yeah he's big. Yeah. Yeah. The church and the Jews always taught that the Nephilim of Genesis chapter 6 with a half breeds between fallen angels and women.
And that's what they taught. That's what I believe. And that's what it is. And so the flood was there to prevent them from taking over and destroying the Messianic line. And that's why it says in Genesis 6 9 that a that Noah was pure in all his descendants or his ancestry all his generations.
And then if you go to Daniel 2 verse 43 it gives some information about the Nebuchadnezzar statue and it represents different epochs of time. And then down towards the feet it's about the rebuilt some say the rebuilt Roman Empire and there's a debate on this whatever.
But in Daniel 2 43 it says they will mingle their seed with the seeds of men the sons of men that they can't be people. But where the Hebrew construction is. So it looks like something like that was going on.
And some people think that when the flood came and destroyed the half breeds that they were disembodied and they're the demons says there seem to be fallen angels and demons. And so some demonologists think that there's a differentiation between them and that the half breeds were released from their bodies and they seek to inhabit human bodies which is why demons try and inhabit people.
This just is all theory you know. So that's that's where it is. Okay let me see why do you think the devil has placed in plain sight the occult references within Mormonism. I think it's partly because of mockery and hatred a way of mocking blatantly publicly God himself and putting his stamp upon his false works.
I know a Lutheran who after his baptism has a little sign that says God accept this little lamb. Why do Lutherans think God will wash away their sin through infant baptism. Because they don't understand what the Word of God really says and are too close to Roman Catholicism.
That's why CJ Miller a little off-topic. But did that Native Americans receive the gospel somehow before Europeans showed up. If not then do they not get the opportunity of salvation. That's an interesting topic.
God has his way of being able to communicate the gospel to different people and this has been documented in various books various cultures eternity in their hearts is one of them. Bruchco is another where different cultures different tribes that are not in association with a Western civilization the which is influenced by Christianity have various gospel messages woven into their culture and their ancestry.
One group the Modoloni tribe I think was in Columbia had a prophecy that there would be a young man with white hair coming to them. This blonde-haired kid Bruce Olson came to them and he would have the words of God written on banana leaves because they were out in the jungle.
That's all they knew. So he came with a Bible and he gave them the Word of God. They received the Word of God they became Christians. So there's things like that another culture someplace has something equivalent to what's called the cities of refuge.
So they're out of the Old Testament and I forgot I read about it. I can't remember too many details about it. But in the jungles the warring tribes if one was pursuing another whichever tribe person got into this little area like 15 feet by 15 feet stone little thing like six inches high eight inches high foot high around it as long as they were in there the enemy couldn't hurt him.
But I mean they're just two feet away. But three feet away they have their arrows and their sparrows. I just kill him but he wouldn't do it because he's in that little area of sanctuary where they get this you know.
So there's a lot of conjecture that there's a lot of truth. They're handled it handed down from people who spread all over the world and so God has his way of communicating that way. Plus in Middle East in the Middle East there are thousands and thousands and thousands of reports of Muslims having dreams and visions of Jesus.
And I encountered a guy in Jerusalem who said that Jesus appeared to him when he was 17. Now did he or did he not. I don't know but he told me to my face just outside of Jerusalem temple he said that when he looked into the eyes of Jesus he said this is who appeared to him he said that's what I knew he was God.
What do you do with that. You know. So these things happen. So the gospel can be made known the way God wants to be known different areas. But we need to preach that word of God. Yes.
And they claim lineage from the house of Jacob. And then 21 this is the one that they really focus on and saviors shall come up on Mount Zion. And when it says Mount Zion they say you know Mount of the Lord the high place of the Lord any sort of mountain where the prophets would you know when Moses went up on the mountain that was a high place of the Lord.
They say Mount Zion Zion the new Jerusalem which is built in the Americas. That's.
Right. Well as is always the case. What you do is you read something in context and just like the two tablets and the scrolls that they refer to the book of Joseph when you read on you find out that the prophecy was answered there.
I haven't heard this about Obadiah but I would rest assured that if you read on it'll be answered in the context Obadiah. So. But on Mount Zion there will be those who escape and I'll be holy in the house of Jacob will possess their possessions.
Well no Zion is in Israel. But they're gonna say that it's in I think it Missouri that were to say it is. They'll say yeah. In the house of yes. So they redefine what that is. He said verse 21 that delivers will ascend Mount Zion to judge the mountain of Esau.
Yeah. You're just allegorizing everything in order to justify because it's natural Mount judge the mountain of Esau. I saw an actual place. So they're just allegorizing it or to make it justify their stuff.
That's all that's going on the gospel. I have to check that is possible. I have to check that to see if there might be an allusion to that later on. Could be you have to do some studies on Esau. Could be.
Yeah. Which is stupid. I see why. So I'm looking I'm looking at Obadiah 19. It says that those of the negative will possess the mountain of Esau and those in the Sheffalah the Philistine Plain also possess a territory of Ephraim and the territory of Samaria and Benjamin will possess Gilead.
And the exile though is talking about specific geographical areas. Of course it cannot be allegorized. I wouldn't say. So next question. Let's see. Yeah Eden was on the American continent located with it.
Yeah. I went to where Eden was in Missouri. To the word what Mormon said it was yeah. Oh yeah. I've been there. Yeah. I thought oh where's the Euphrates River. Yeah. So where was that. I didn't see it.
And and then we're walking through there. And there happened to be a rock that was flat. That was kind of like a slight angle. And I thought I walked up to it. I went probably gonna say that's an altar.
And then Bill goes that's what they say that an altar. Blah blah. Was it's ridiculous. What's that preachers rock. That's right. So I was right there. We stood on it we stood on it. Yeah it's called it's been a while but yeah I called that it's just a rock about three or four of these tables put together kind of you know size.
Oh I don't know. It's it the way it was located. The people could gather around it. A person could stand up there because the ground underneath it was a little bit low. And an angled out. It'd be perfect to have a an impromptu kind of a sermon.
You could have a actually have a way you could walk around on a little bit. It was kind of cool. I guess what.
They call it preachers rock and it's so stupid.
Sorry I shouldn't say that just like that but it is okay. Shoot. We didn't realize it when I heard the first quote from him. Very first quote I heard back in 1980 a friend of mine was in a Bible study and he goes hey man listen to this and in all these affidavits and all these indictments that is all the devil all corruption you fall swears all hail boil over your burning mountains or down your lava.
For I will come out on top at last I have more to boast than ever any man had. I've done more to keep a church together since the days of Adam either John Paul Peter nor Jesus has ever done such a work as I.
Anyone like this. And it just made me so mad that I who is this guy. And my friend Charlie Spine he's actually here in the vid here he goes that's his founder of Mormonism. And I said well Mormons are Christians.
But he's not. That's what I said. And he goes no Mormons are not Christians. I said yeah they are. He goes no they're not. What do you mean. And he started telling what they've taught. But what what. And so he goes well we're having a Bible study that we go to the study I'm going and that's what got me started doing apologetics.
So Charlie Spine right there it's the one. What's that. Oh yeah everybody could blame him. Yeah he's the guy Joseph Smith. Actually what I'll do is I'll say the Mormons I'll say you know what Joseph Smith changed my life.
This is yeah I read something from him but just altered the direction of my life and did it. I wanted to be a go to college to be a marine biologist and I was thinking about what I was gonna do and how and what some other stuff and and change my change my life.
Yeah. So let's see here's the quote God is in the still small voice and all these affidavits indictments it is all of the devil all corruption come on you prosecutors you false swears all hell boil over you burning mountains roll down your lava.
For I will come out on the top at last I have more to boast of than ever any man had. I'm the only man that has ever been able to keep a whole church together since the days of Adam. A large majority of the whole have stood by me.
Neither Paul John Peter nor Jesus ever did it. I boast that no man ever did such a work as I. The followers of Jesus ran away from him but the latter-day saints never ran away from me yet. That's what got me started.
I went what. And it just upset me. So I started studying and that's what. Did it. Pretty arrogant and he was dead one month later. Now they did murder him but his brother smuggled or somebody smuggled a gun in and he shot and three I think three rounds two people died one was injured.
That's what I think the how it meant Joseph Smith. What. No shot two people three people.
Right they set him up and so they weren't in the light portion of the the jail person could recognize that they were just awesome and so they were upstairs and the mob comes they're trying to break into the building and they say that he was murdered and he didn't fight back he didn't have a gun and nothing of the sort and he got shot.
He told one guy he's like hey you're I told you you're gonna serve a mission you're yet gonna serve a mission you're not going to get shot. And then he got shot and then while he was shot he fell out the window.
And then they get shot and a lot more times a lot more times. Yeah. Close casket.
And also another little something is he said so there's rumors and no one gave him in the face right about here. And so he said something that they don't know if it's absolutely true but it seems to be he said is there no help for the widow's son which is a code word of distress for Masons.
So some people think they saw he saw the Masons from his secret rituals with them. And so some think that maybe the Masons had set this up trumped up charges because he didn't do what he'd said. What they said I understand.
And they went to kill him. That's what he was appealing. And he didn't know they were out to get him but he did fire. That's a fact and he was not just a lay it down murder. He killed.
People what. So what do you say to all the biblical evidence of the great apostasy such as revelation. Revelations 225 teaches that the apostasy was foretold in the apostle struggled against it for their whole careers.
And because Paul had to correct members repeatedly in all of his letters he kept giving corrections. Here's what you guys are doing wrong. Here's where you have the gospel in some sense. And at the end of Paul's life you know in Timothy it's recorded that all the people he taught in Asia had turned against what Paul taught.
So how do you maintain that the gospel is true to what it was in the.
Early church when the LDS Church says that it was so corrupt. The gospel is a death burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of our sins. That's in 1st Corinthians 15 1 through 4. Those documents are accurate.
That's what the gospel is defined as by Paul the Apostle. So that's what the gospel is. What they're saying is the gospel is laws ordinances and all the stuff. That's not what the Bible says. It is now in 2nd Thessalonians 2.
Now we request you brethren with regard to the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering to him that you be not quickly shaken from your composure or be disturbed either by a spirit or a message or a letter as if from us to the effect that the day of the Lord has come that no one in any way deceived you.
For it will not come unless the apostasy comes first. And the man of lawlessness is revealed that apostasy in 2nd Thessalonians 2 is concomitant with the arrival of the Antichrist an individual that has not happened yet.
So the spirit of Antichrist is alive. And well 1st John talks about that. And there had been various forms of apostasy within the Christian Church even in the beginning in that they were denying certain things and getting prideful about certain things and letters of correction were given.
But that apostasy is not with Paul's talking about. So there is an apostasy occurring in the Christian Church today. But the great apostasy is to have to call it has not yet occurred and that will be.
My opinion at this point is that the great apostasy cannot occur until the church itself has basically gone gone rogue. And then the Holy Spirit will not be doing his work through the world because the Christians aren't doing what's right and they're not really Christians.
And then the the great deception will come in. That's what I believe. Now some people say well that's a pre-tribulation rapture. That's why the Holy Spirit's not here. That doesn't work. It just doesn't work for other reasons which I proved on the chalkboard behind me more than once you know comments or questions let's see.
James White doesn't support Islam. He's.
Concerned with people. That's correct. He doesn't. James White does not support Islam. He doesn't. Yeah James White. I could maybe talk to him about it but.
James knows that Islam is false and he debates against Muslims and I've not sucked my nose in his business or the stuff that's going on but no he does not believe Islam is true. There's no possible way it doesn't happen.
Even Sam Simone isn't saying that. Right. That's yeah that's where this whole thing is. And Sam's not even saying that he believes that Islam is true. Right. Sorry. What. Sure. Oh yeah you have this question.
I trust you completely except they're.
Portion of the truth you know the Koran.
Because the galaxies no one knows what galaxies. Because you don't see galaxies you just see stars. And they used to think there's only two to four thousand stars depending. I've heard something like that.
But there's billions and it's the Bible that says there's many but what Muslims do is they like to read into their text anything that they contribute to being supernatural and they're desperate attempt to try and demonstrate that their Quran is inspired but they're not many people know about this.
But the early Jewish view of the constellations was gospel oriented the Virgo Virgin that precedes the the Greek influence. And there's another topic I need to study among many others I don't have time for but that is the case.
And you can go on the web probably and find a Jewish view of ancient constellations do something like that and you'll find in fact I remember reading articles about it or a book excerpt 25 years ago or whatever.
When it's past 15 years I kind of forget about stuff but 15 minutes some people would say. But anyway so inside I remember something about the stars inside the constellation of the Virgin in Jewish and the Jewish names that we take the Jewish names what those names mean was really interesting.
You know I can't remember what they were but it was like oh wow that's like that in the Bible you know born of a virgin journey to place you know weird names of stars and then you go that's what the scriptures teach and remember that.
So as we're studying as well. Islam is a growing religion and its adherents promote it is a religion of peace. That's a lie. However in actuality it's not a religion of peace. That's correct. That's correct.
Charlie's putting this stuff in there. Good for him. Okay not a little off-topic. What's your opinion. The impact of the long-term impact of teaching of James White and his support for Islam. I do not believe he is supporting Islam.
Maybe I'll contact him and ask him sometime if it's needed. But I just take my note out of other people's business like that. James White is a very good apologist and he's written many books and he's very competent very good apologist.
He's performed in his theology. Yeah he doesn't. And what I remember trying to remember what happened but he something about a Muslim in a church he was at or his church now. Don't quote me on this. I'm trying to remember the details but it was not a Sunday morning it was a place of the church but on a different night and he had to come in and speak.
And of course I would do something like that. Let's hear what the Muslim has to say. And then let's tackle it.
I can tell you as an apologist having done things like that there's lots of.
Times when I'm not gonna pull out both barrels and start firing away because I got something else going on. I've done that many times. Most times it works. But sometimes it doesn't. But you know I don't know what James was doing but I know a lot of people are trying to get all over him.
Leave him alone. You know I know what it's like to be ridiculed constantly by just Christians. Oh you're not a Christian. I got attacked Sunday night by a guy because I was defending reformed theology.
And total depravity. I mean I forget what the words were. You don't have a power to presence of God or something the power of the Spirit. You know I get so tired of it. It's just so tired. You know I guess.
Stop. People who are ignorant of what the word really says a lot of areas they elevate their own knowledge. And then they say that I'll pronounce judgment on you because it's all right. Nobody because you you know you don't believe the way I do in a non-essential.
It's just it's ridiculous. No religion. Not Islam. Mormonism. J-dubs. Catholicism has an advocate with a father who once purged our sin and after sat down at the right hand. I'm not sure what that means.
An interfaith dialogue. The man blaspheme Christ. You'd have to watch it to understand. If you blaspheme Christ then he can blaspheme Christ then address it in the right context the right way. But they need to get off.
James White's back. Leave him alone. Unless he's such an incredible incredibly heretical leave him alone. It's easy for people to sit in the armchairs sit watch a video the comfort of their home and then type out a condemnation when they're not the ones sitting in the planes traveling across the country or across the world doing the study having to stand up in public and defend the faith.
Nobody says everything perfectly every time. And James and other apologists need support and they need prayer. Because I'll tell you I know from the inside it's very difficult. You see me you know see what the kind of toll it'll take and it does and stuff like that.
Your phone's possessed. It starts talking. It's right. That was an evil voice on your phone. I don't know that was I got add to his evil phone voice. What. Yeah we need a lot of them do but we could use some more.
We're trying to do. Just get 1 ,000 people to donate $5 a month. We had that. We wouldn't wouldn't quite be only a rubber band shooter. Just bang bang. We wouldn't quite be be above where we need to be.
But you know we just I asked for that nothing happened. We're not nothing but there are some very great people who are supporting and there are some people who just doing an awesome job. I try and call them and and don't always get them.
I just want to say thanks. But the problem is I don't want to know who donates because I don't want to treat anybody differently. I don't want that upon me and so I don't know who donates and I just don't want to get involved with it.
But my wife will every now and then say you need to call this person just say thanks and so I'll do that. I've called people and they say don't need to call. My wife told me to she made me yeah. We asked $5 a month 10 would be great.
What's. 10 bucks a month. But the only reason karm has not had to lay off most everybody is because we have a single donor who's bailing us out. That's it. And he believes in the ministry and it's got very successful business and that's the only reason.
We have a full-time guy in Bogota does Spanish. We have a full-time guy in Brazil. He does Portuguese. You have a full-time guy in Turkey does Turkish. And we have a full-time woman in Delaware who does the forums which get thousands of posts a day and she that's a place of evangelism.
It's a lot of work. We have a full-time guy in Salt Lake City and he's pulling up the slack that I can't do now in a lot of areas. And then my wife is full-time and I'm full-time. We have seven full-time employees and so my wife doesn't make very much but she works at least well lately not so much because her health is really taking a dive and she's had some major problems.
She has a very rare disease and broken bones and she coughed and re-cracked some stuff just by coughing once one cough. So she we've got some serious problems coming up but at any rate and she might need her open heart surgery so you know.
So she we were thinking about getting someone else to help us now take up her slack because of that. But at any rate so you know we have people and they're not getting paid a lot of money and and we're just trying to make it make it ends meet.
In fact we have a guy named Glenn and he hosts the CARM website. A DOS attack is a Denial of Service attack. So what's a DOS. Picture any website as a door and to get you to get to the website which is on the other side of that door it's gonna be other side of the door.
A port gives you access to the website. The port is the door. If one person wants to go through the door at a time to look at the website they can walk in and out of that door. What do you do if a hundred people want to go in.
Now nobody gets through and that's what a DOS attack is. Thousands of computers are activated to destroy the site and or bring it down or it's called destroy or overwhelm the port so no one else can get in and they'll they have viruses on computers or whatever the proper terminology is all over wherever a continent.
And then they'll signify signal them to all start accessing the CARM port all at once and so you won't even be home. Your computer could be infected and be used in part of this you wouldn't even know.
And so it'll send stuff out and so that's called a DOS. And so an average you know movie you might download might be two and a half gigabytes. So it takes you a half hour to download a movie right on the internet.
Roughly. Well that's so just a 2 .5 will take you an hour of download on my system which is 40 40 megs per second. It's pretty fast takes a half hour to 45 minutes of download 2 .5 gigabyte movie. Glenn says that sometimes we get 25 to 27 gigabytes per second attack.
So where it might take just it's hard to describe where it might take a hundred people a minute to go through a door 5 ,000. It's like that it's like boom. And he says that he hosts banks and none of the banks ever get attacked as much as CARM does.
And in order to stop the DOS attacks he sometimes has to block continents. You had to block Africa to stop the DOS attack so the others could use the site. So the CARM hits go down and so it affects us and it does hurt us.
But this is what it is. So I asked Glenn one day about a year ago I said how much money are you saving us by you doing this. How much would it he said a real a company that would charge you to administer the DOS attacks and defend against them.
Six to eight thousand dollars a month. So we've got people. The reason CARM exists in one sense is because all this dumb guy got an ID and wrote some articles. But the reason it's still here and functioning is because Glenn does the tech stuff and because we have another person who does the finance stuff.
We just had an annual CARM meeting at our house last week. It's seven or eight guys there. He came over for a little while and and a bunch of people there and we spent two days discussing the strategies for CARM's future and we got a lot of things.
We're gonna be doing a lot of changes and even though we've got all kinds of problems we're moving forward. I've taken two cuts in pay but there's a guy out there who hates my guts and misrepresents how much I get paid.
I get paid pretty well but you know it's but I've been. I've got a master's degree for this for 37 years and I work 50 to 60 hour weeks and so I make decent money. I think we have $8 in our bank account now you know medical bills everything.
It's just insane. I've not had a raise in. I've lost. That's that's why I'm doing patreon. One of the reasons I'm doing patreon is so that people can go and support me specifically. And then the money literally saves us.
We had a check come in from patreon. It's only three four or five hundred a month maybe at that. And that one time that just gave us enough money for food and gas you know. So you know things are working but that's why whatever reason I'm doing that because it's tough and there but a lot of people out there who have financial issues.
You do. You know your situation is is pretty dire. You know. And there are lots of people and then Cameron's mental problems that are surfacing those are really bad. Yeah he's over there go like this.
Well you know what if someone let's just say we've got another hundred thousand dollars a year. Okay as was what we need. What I could do with that would be to rent a room that I could convert into a video studio.
And one of the things we want to do in the future with a car website is actually start having interviews. I want to interview you. Actually you're one of the guys I wanted to interview and also with Sam and sit you down.
We could do it at my house with a small room. We'll just set it up and I want to just ask you questions about where you were and brought you out and then I'll edit it to make you look intelligent and which probably be go for a half half hour interview down to two three minutes maybe and maybe four or five.
Okay so it's one of the things you want to do and I'm having to use I'm having to use one of our spare bedrooms because now our kids are gone. The bedrooms that's just not that big and so you have to be really strategic when you do video.
So I got one wall the only wall that I can video on but it's a door next to it. You have to keep the door closed and but you can't be too far back because then the shadows are on the wall and you can't have that because you got to be up forward.
Well if you're up forward you're too close to the camera your nose looks like this. So then you gotta have a the note and the camera back up against the the wall you get it's just enough where I can do it or I can move up and back but I can't go too far this way and so we do interviews.
We'll have to set it up a little bit differently and they just you know you just make do with what you got. Well if I had a enough money I could not. I don't need a lot just a bigger room to set things up so the cameras at the right distance and the lights at the right distance so it just looks good so you can produce good stuff have people come in and then I have to do all the editing and a lot of people don't know this but I'm just rambling now.
But if I'm gonna do like I want to start doing two-minute videos to call it maybe two minutes with Matt or the car moment or something like that and just start doing teaching. So in order to do that I would have to get the scriptures.
I don't have everything memorized. I'd have to work on the computer to get it going. Then convert my notes to PowerPoint. Then take the PowerPoint thing into the on this laptop here put it here hook that up with a splitter so that the monitors can see it.
Then I have to get my my clicker for the PowerPoint because I just need my notes up there and because I want to do it on a certain time right and so that the camera is next to the monitor so it looks like I'm looking at the camera get that thing going.
And then I have to set up the microphone the wireless mic make sure everything's set and I've done this before where I've do all this and then I forget turn the microphone on and it only happens when it's really good and then don't bed and so then when I do that go ahead to turn all the lights on make sure all the lights are right make sure everything's closed make sure everything looks good and that's just a lighting.
And then when I'm done that turn everything off and then take the disc go into my office and then do transport the stuff over to Vegas 13. Then in Vegas 13 I have to put it into the system tell it to analyze a thing.
Then I have to put in the scripture references behind me and around me things like that. Then I have to convert it and export it to an mp4 file. Then I have to upload it to YouTube and then that's how we do it.
That's just for a two-minute show two-minute thing I have to do all of it and you know it just slows me down. In fact it's so daunting that it's hard to do any of it because it's I have to do you know half hours to two hours work for two two minutes.
Yeah actually. And then when I go to sleep I'm reading for the prepping for the debates that I got to be in Denver in four weeks four or five weeks and so that's what I do. And I get up and I have 500 emails to answer in one account.
And I'm trying to teach myself WordPress so that we get a new system going as we get karma converted I got to teach myself that we're trying to get his MormonismChristian .com converted over Calvinist Corner converted over all kinds of stuff.
Oh yeah it's and I've got atheistica I have to develop the website for that the novella. I got work on my novel I gotta finish and I've got a series to do on apologetics and and I've got to write three lessons for two lessons for Saturday one for Sunday and a sermon I think I've most of I got my halfway done.
So this is this is how it is. And so if I had enough money I could actually hire people to do some of this stuff and so if it wasn't for you guys coming in here and doing all this stuff I wouldn't do this.
I get tired of walking and set everything up set everything set everything it takes takes two of us three of us a half hour to set everything up. Yeah but you know it doesn't take much but you can rent a room.
You know I got a spare bedroom and it's not that big and you got to do the best you can with what you got. That's that's okay you know but if we had a bigger room twice that size is just what you need.
You know the size of my office will be perfect. Then you can have things set up and you can have people sitting in a couch and it looks comfortable and you can you know interview and I want to do good good work and and stuff.
So it's just you know it's just what it is just life. And then I turn on TV and Kenneth Copeland Kenneth Hagan Joyce Meyer millions and millions and millions of dollars preaching heresies.
I'm gonna do is start doing a heresy so you can have all those millions of dollars to sell out your integrity. Yeah I'll take all your ears. Yeah that's.
Right I'll puke in the process and just share radio studio if you would that'd be interesting. What. Oh yeah there's no way. Yeah yeah I don't know what that is.
I was talking to some Mormon missionaries last night at the temple and I was with Josh. And Josh has never been a Mormon and so he's just asking some basic questions. You know one thing they say a lot is plan of salvation.
He goes okay you guys keep saying that. So I'm wondering what should I be terrified of. What do I need to be saved from. And you know they couldn't give him a straight answer for the life above. We talked to some really nice they go to heaven and we talked to these missionaries for an hour and they still haven't told us what we should be scared of.
But one of the things they were talking about with the plan of salvation is pre-existence and how our souls are eternal and weren't created by. And so they're given this crazy. You know you know what it is.
I know what it is but I was talking to an atheist today about a biogenesis. Right. And you know I know when I'm talking to an atheist the problem is their sin. That's what's keeping them from recognizing the God right.
According to God's Word. But I just wondered what should I know as I know.
You study know about what a biogenesis. It's not true. That's a bunk a Miller. You Miller your experiment in the 50s was trying to attempt to mimic what they thought was the conditions of the early atmosphere in which life formed.
They've long since discovered that that experiment did not accurately represent that. That's one thing. Second when they got pseudo amino acids produced they had to immediately extract them from the environment in which they were created.
But that's not realistic to the experiment or to the conditions of Earth. You know the second reason. Right. So the miller-jurek experiment and it's already been just declassified as being reliable and accurate.
You had to still in a lot of books on evolution you can get the book icons of evolution and that'll talk about that. But a biogenesis formation of life by chance cannot happen. Life is information and a biological structure that which becomes biological and life is information.
Information has to be sent. Information has to be received otherwise it's not information. So if I were to write you a letter now but it is information even if you don't read it because I know it's information and I put it there.
But what if you were to be walking along the forest road and you saw this on the ground. Chalk chalk diet to make sure you just saw that is that information. What if you were walking and it was a stick couple sticks.
Like that is it. Well what if you saw some sticks like this that information. And what if you saw another stick like that that information. How about that. How about that. Now wait a minute. That's a little bit too complex just to be random.
So what if you were walking on the path and you saw this work in sticks by miss Pelican. Intelligence is that information. Yeah. Why is it information specific specified complexity. There's complexity.
But the longer it gets the more complex it is. And that doesn't necessarily information. That might be it could be coincidence. You see this. I'm sorry it's not a random formation of sticks on the road.
Nobody's gonna say well that's just random in a straight line. It's all there. It's not gonna happen. At what point would you say. It's information. Because you can actually see this in a forest floor.
But you wouldn't know. But it's not intended. You know the squirrels were kicking their sand and that those sticks found that. Now what is it. Here you go. That's a little bit too much. You go. Hey wait a minute.
These are letters. Now you're starting to see patterns. Well you know here you don't get. You don't really gonna see it until later. It's a full word. So when does something like this become information.
Well in this context it's a long word and we can see it. But if we have the word you know it's like this with sticks. That might not be information. It might just be a coincidence. Because that's simplistic enough.
But the longer this guy goes. Okay I was gonna do catapult. Let's do that. Okay caterpillar. Now that's that's information. It's too much. So what DNA is is deoxyribonucleic acid and it has the nucleotide bond pairs here this is where information is formed along these things.
Not here it's these little things here these deserve these are actually two things put together and they're joined. And so you get all this stuff. Well when is this information. Because the complexity here the DNA molecule which when you unravel it is like this.
Because it's a one in four it doesn't become information until way over here. But even then it has to have a reader. So I ask people if the only thing in the universe no minds nothing. The only thing was something resembling a piece of paper with this on it is it information.
It's the only thing that exists in the universe. How about this. Is that information. I'm playing kind of a game with you. That's the only thing that exists. Is that information. Exactly correct. Well that's exactly correct.
It's not information. There is nothing else. It's just nothing. That's the only thing that exists. It's not information. It's not. It has no meaning. Letters don't mean anything form. You're.
Not or nothing. It's a representation. It's not a representation. There's.
Nothing to represent. Exactly. So it's this is why it's a game to kind of stretch your mind. This has no meaning. If that's the only thing in the universe there's no chalkboard. How do these letters exist.
In nothingness I've got that far. Let's say it looks like a piece of paper and it's just that. There is no meaning there. So. But but if I were to write this word on a piece of paper and hand it to you either one of you said read that word and you pronounce the word.
Well then that's information that's been transferred. That's one of the things about information is transferable. Does this have any weight any mass. Now there's a shock. Does it. Does it. Does G the letter G have mass.
Now. On here it does. But what if I went like this in the air. Does that have mass. What if I went like that it a and n and a T ant. Does that have mass. No. What's interesting about information. It has no weight.
It's purely abstraction.
No that is a physical I mean the more information in the phone the phone's.
Weight has to change. That's right. You could have a laptop or phone. You could put all kind of information in it and it doesn't change its actual mass. Right. So information is an interesting thing. It has no mass to it.
It's simply an arrangement. And so you could have a thousand sticks and they'll weigh exactly 20 pounds and you arrange them into a sentence it still weighs 20 pounds. The mass has not changed. And that's what's interesting about information.
But anyway the biogenesis and so that's why you asked. Yeah thank you. So they biogenesis. You have the helix right. The DNA molecule the oxyribonucleic acid. You have adenine guanine cytosine and thymine.
May a G. I mean here any wine. Did you know. Cytosine I'm messed up and thymine. So these are groups. And these are group. And so you have a gene and GA and CT and TC so you have each rung is 1 and 4 times 1 and 4 times 1 and 4 and it goes on.
So it's 1 or it's 0 .25 to the whatever power you're going to have a thousand power. It gives you the mathematical equivalent of what the odds are of any particular sequence forming. But the smallest smallest molecule DNA molecule is in a certain virus for at the name of it and it's like 200 ,000 nucleotide bond pairs so it would be I think it's 220.
I'll just do 200 .25 times the 200 ,000.
Power that's just infinitesimally small. It's even more complex than that. Now they're finding out like if you were to say the AGCT we replace it ones and zeros and you put all the ones and zeros in the chalkboard and then you saw an image of a face because now the ones and zeros are that's how they're describing it now.
Now they're like not only are those the AGCT or the ones and zeros but now we can see the third dimension of the information. Oh yeah. So now they multiply even more even more and that's just recently they're learning that.
Oh yeah.
It's ridiculous because their minds are blinded by their unbelief they're given over to the depravity of their sinfulness and they believe a lie and worship is the creature rather than the Creator. Information requires a mind.
And life is information. That's all. Life is complex information. That's what it is. Biological structure. And a biological structure they have the different molecules that exist. If they're just sitting there how much do they weigh.
Well one-tenth of whatever it is. And you rearrange it into information it still has the same mass. It's the it's the arrangement that makes something work like that as far as real mass information goes.
So you can't have a Genesis form without a mind behind it. It just doesn't work. Not only they'll say yes. You do. No. It's not true. It's not. You have the helix. You also have to have a reader. This is why when you have this you have the things in half.
They unzip and then a reader comes in and matches every production. And so you have a sender so to speak. And a receiver. And where's the receiver. Get information to do what it's doing. It just gets so incredibly complex.
Anybody would believe that it's by chance. It's just not true. That's it what. I haven't. Read it read it and let me know. I wish I could read a thousand words a minute. I could do all this stuff. Audio book.
While I'm driving. I actually want to get serious radio so I can listen to news stations so I can.
Start getting up on news stations but I can't afford it. I don't know which ones.
Are good and I like to listen to live current stuff instead of me having to do another job of finding out what shows. Yeah yeah. I have a question. How do. I'm. Malina will explain the wolf and the lamb and the piece and the and the stuff I don't know you're talking about.
Okay wolf and the lamb. All right. I guess we're done. Okay we're done. One question. New episode. The Reformation is bad because some of the teachers in it are claiming to have Apostle apostolic authority and submitting all truths of them and they're getting into some heretical teachings.
I got more research to do on another couple three four hundred hours before see you guys. So yeah. It's a hierarchical kind of a structure that the issue of the New Episodic Reformation is more important than the gospel itself and that's how I would summarize it so far from my research.
All right. Okay.
