- 02:13
- In a monastery joke you heard this one You haven't heard this one. You haven't heard this one there's this mechanic and he's moving from one state to another state and he's got his tools with them and he's got to get to this other place and so what he does is takes a detour and But it's a dark and stormy night and so as he's going through this detour and the windshield
- 02:37
- The rains coming down the whole bit and all of a sudden his car breaks down in the middle of podunk nowhere on some dark
- 02:42
- Road, you know the scary stuff waiting for the Wolfman to come out But it you know and that kind of scary he gets out of this of his car because he's got nothing
- 02:51
- Because the reason he got out is he saw a light, you know You know the windshield she's just light appearing and so he looks like a window
- 02:59
- She'll go get some help to get out of the car. Boom. He's just drenched closes the door just jogs on up there and It says monastery on it big stone building big just big wooden door six feet wide you know and all the stuff he knocks on there with a big metal and Waits for like 30 seconds and then the door opens up It's hooded man, you know, it was like puts the hood back.
- 03:28
- Yes. He said yeah, my car broke down and he goes Oh, well, come on in turns out.
- 03:34
- They're a bunch of monks in this monastery and they loved having him there because You don't get any visitors
- 03:41
- And he was telling them that his car broke down and the guy goes don't worry about it We'll send some monks out there to push the car in will drive drag it in and you can you know
- 03:50
- We don't have any electricity here. He goes well, I got some tools I can fix it in the morning maybe if they're you know, when the rain stopped just bring it in so they drugged it, you know, push the car in and He's drenched and so they give them, you know, some fresh clothes a monk's robe and he likes, you know
- 04:06
- I can look at me Darth Vader He's liking it all and he having a good time and they're showing him around the kitchen
- 04:12
- They're showing around what I make this and make that Finally, it's time to go to bed So they show him this little bitty rooms not very big at all
- 04:21
- Bits bigger than a you know, a large -ish kind of bathroom kind of a thing And he doesn't mind looks good.
- 04:27
- It's got a little cot in it and candle and thing And he goes, oh, thank you. And he's about ready to close the door and several monks are you know, welcoming him in and you know to the room and he's the head monk says
- 04:40
- Is there anything I can get you anything at all? We'd love to serve you anything you need and he goes no, it's okay and The monk saw that hesitation.
- 04:51
- What do you need? No, it's okay No, really. What do you need? We're here to please not a problem.
- 04:56
- What do you need? No, really, it's okay. You know, we want to help you. We don't get visitors. You're helping us out But you know, we'd love to serve.
- 05:03
- What do you want? and he thought about it the monk kept pleading and finally the man says do you have like a
- 05:12
- Maybe a broken radio or anything like that. Do you have any barbed wire also and some cooking oil and a ladder
- 05:20
- Any size ladder if you don't have a ladder, I'll take them a
- 05:25
- Hammer It's much like what the heck are these what
- 05:31
- I guess well, it's a family secret thing Monks just kind of turn around and they walk off And they go get the stuff
- 05:43
- They bring it back to him and the guy who puts a door just a little bit. They slide everything in they close the door They're really curious about these things
- 05:52
- So the next day he gets up and he the man the mechanic he's working on his car and he's working hard on this car and Not quite enough daylight to get it done.
- 06:04
- He's got to spend one more night Just needs another half hour in the daylight underneath the car doing something So they show him where they've been fixed
- 06:11
- Bible. They show him where they bottle the wine They show him that's the time to go to bed. Take him to the door Anything you need what is it?
- 06:21
- What do you need? An Old chicken egg would be good but a new one to work any vegetable and are you sure you don't have any more that oil because that oil was good and a mirror and Kind of a rug thing so they're staring at him up they just walk off they go get the stuff
- 06:52
- They're really suspicious and you open the door, you know, put the door The hand comes out grab all the stuff So the next day he gets up and he's working on the his car and lo and behold it's running time to leave and the monks really like like him and They give him a fruit basket and a big bottle thing of wine and a monk's robe could he'd really like the monk's robe
- 07:17
- He puts the car in gear and get ready to go after he says a lot of thank -yous and the head monk says no Whoa, wait, wait, you can't go you got it.
- 07:23
- You got to tell us what these things are for You see you've destroyed the monastery We're all gossiping now brother
- 07:29
- Thomas who had a had sworn to secrecy at one point went what like that?
- 07:34
- You know and he broke his vow of silence. We look at the brother Andrew over there He's got a broken arm because he you know
- 07:40
- He he was losing sleep over this and he fell off a ladder and he got himself hurt Basically, you single -handedly destroyed the monastery.
- 07:46
- We're gossiping now and thinking things We shouldn't be thinking and now we're talking about stuff about you. You have to tell what these things are for because You destroyed us
- 07:57
- And he looks around he sees all these monks man. They are just tired and beaten up and just exhausted and they're pleading with their eyes
- 08:04
- Please tell us So he decides okay, I'll tell you he goes like this to the head monk
- 08:11
- Gets really close and he whispers into his ear says you promise you don't tell anybody else if I tell you does
- 08:16
- Yeah, I promise Today he's kept that promise I Have had death threats over that joke
- 08:47
- I was in a car with a guy in The Air Force, you know, you realize I'll have to kill you now
- 08:53
- And So I've told that joke so many different ways once we're at a party I'm telling it and What are these things to mean
- 09:03
- I mean you make up anything You know, I want a radio a dead cricket and I gotta have a mirror
- 09:10
- But I need crystal oil a tarp and a large ladder Whatever, you know,
- 09:17
- I need some wires a little 9 -volt battery and you have a probe at all
- 09:26
- It doesn't matter what you're making up you just say it, you know, whatever it is and a ball of lint
- 09:31
- Oh, and do you have any like rabbit fur? Doesn't make any difference and so that the edge because And to this day, he's kept that promise
- 09:45
- Going to kill you. Okay. All right, we're ready I'm on YouTube.
- 09:52
- I see me but I can't see the questions. I don't know I'll give you the guy this if you want to do this, you can ask me questions and stuff.
- 10:00
- Is that a good joke, though? this case What? It's like four or five minutes
- 10:09
- Ten Wow Okay, it's a good joke though What The jokes on you
- 10:23
- All right, you know why they took the John Wayne total paper off the market It was rough and tough it wouldn't take crap off anybody that's right.
- 10:37
- I Got another John Wayne joke, but anyway, okay I'm waiting for the for some feedback, you know, so questions.
- 10:45
- I can't see anything Just just you just tell me
- 10:50
- I'll just repeat it Who's Graham cook
- 11:01
- Who who what I have no clue She should is a dog is a deontological issue
- 11:14
- Is there a moral art when you say should it should be should be could Could you do it not should if it should you should do what's right.
- 11:23
- You should do these things So that's an imposition. So the wording has to be right. So is it possible for Christians to celebrate
- 11:30
- Halloween Halloween and not sin? Yes Okay now first Corinthians 10 Paul the
- 11:36
- Apostle talks about meat being sacrificed to idols He says these pagan temples they sacrifice their false to their false gods this meat
- 11:44
- Then they go to sell the meat in the in the marketplace to make money. Can you eat that meat? He's just yeah,
- 11:49
- I'm gonna hurt you just if it stumbles somebody else So the thing is is Halloween this pagan thing that you know, it's it's a time sacrifice to demonic stuff
- 11:59
- Can you eat their candy? Yeah, you can You don't want to dress up in a demonic form and and imitate demonic stuff
- 12:06
- But can you do a little you know dress up a spongebob or squidward? I used to have kids We used to do spongebob
- 12:13
- Saturdays You dress up as whatever you want, you know, and just have fun to go to door and get candy.
- 12:18
- Yeah What's what's wrong with that I don't participate in it in any of the occult stuff and I think that these scary houses with it with the demonic things that goes in the graveyards.
- 12:29
- I don't I stay away from those That's what people want to do. But that's it Yeah, we could we're free to celebrate it
- 12:35
- But we don't have to you don't have to not you don't have the right to say somebody else should or should not Okay Says Matt to himself just talking again rambling myself rambling
- 12:48
- Just rambling I Ramble a lot sometimes so there's a ramble about rambling
- 12:56
- That gets interesting. You've rambled about rambling. You're not saying anything. He was talking. Hey, I'm not saying anything right now. I'm just rambling
- 13:02
- You just talk about something. You don't say anything rambling Who Sean rambled
- 13:12
- But yeah, we could talk about that some more. He said to us. There's more after that. We missed it All right.
- 13:17
- What's the next question to comment? Universal priesthood out of Revelation.
- 13:23
- Well, it is at 1 6 We're all priests of the kingdom in the sense that we have authority That's Roman John 1 12 and 13 for as many as received him to them
- 13:32
- He gave the right to be called the children of God the exosia the right the authority We are also called do
- 13:38
- Loy in 1st Corinthians 1 verses 1 and 2 the slaves of God We have that relationship with him in Romans 8 we are adopted
- 13:45
- So we have that right to speak in the name of Christ without demonic retribution, so the seven sons of Sceva in Acts 19 1 through 5 basically they were adjuring people by the name of Jesus and They were not
- 14:02
- Christians. They didn't have that right to use the name of Christ for the demons beat the crud out of them
- 14:09
- So those who have that right and the authority of those who are washed in the blood who have by faith been justified
- 14:15
- And then by that we have a sense of priesthood. What's a priest job? Well in one sense a priest is the one who administers the sacrifices of the people
- 14:24
- On behalf of the people elevated up to God So that's what a priest does now Jesus is the high priest after the order of Melchizedek Hebrews 6 20 and 7 25 so Are we priests in a sense?
- 14:37
- Yes in that we can intercede for others pray for others We have the authority that is given to us by being in Christ And so we can let's just say intercede pray on behalf of and do various things as we present the gospel
- 14:53
- Which is a form of intercession as well in that sense now some might go a little bit further and say that we have certain realms of authority within that priesthood right in a generic sense and Say that whatever we name we can claim whatever we blab we can grab and then they take it too far
- 15:09
- Joel Osteen Joyce Meyer things like that The differences between dispensationalism and covenantalism spelling mainly
- 15:26
- No, there's a lot more dispensationalism is basically the view I'll just show you a very simplistic view of dispensationalism the
- 15:34
- Dispensation of works was in the garden the dispensation of law between the garden and the cross now
- 15:40
- We're in a dispensation of grace. So the idea is basically to say the
- 15:46
- Old Testament is is Basically the dispensation or the time of history where God works in a certain pattern of certain means hence with law
- 15:55
- And so the New Testament the dispensation the New Testament is now he works with grace now
- 16:01
- This is oversimplified, but that's basically what goes on and so you have two dispensations three dispensations for I've seen five
- 16:08
- I've seen seven I think I've seen even more from dispensationalists what they'll try and do in my opinion what they do is they impose upon the scriptures those various Theological perspectives or dispensational views in order to make the scriptures historically through periods of time fit certain molds and I find that to be
- 16:32
- Isogentical I find it to be isogentical God works covenantally a covenant is a pact or an agreement between two or more parties the
- 16:39
- Ten Commandments are covenant documents They were ten and ten not five and five or six and four
- 16:45
- And God said let there be light which is this word a covenant is based upon his word so he covenants and binds himself by his word and so a covenant is the proper representation of How to look at the scriptures the word testamentum in Latin is the word covenant
- 17:03
- Old Covenant New Covenant Old Testament New Testament God was covenantally the eternal covenant spoken of in Hebrews 1320 the inter -trinitarian
- 17:10
- Communion where the father elected and chose people to be saved gave them to the son for redemption
- 17:15
- Romans I mean John 6 37 through 40 and the Holy Spirit convicts the world of sin Romans John 16 8 and You know all this inter -trinitarian economic
- 17:26
- Trinity relationship we have The covenant signs that associate with this we have the
- 17:32
- Abra. Excuse me the Adamic Covenant the symbol was a tree the Noahic Covenant the symbol was the rainbow the
- 17:40
- Abrahamic Covenant the symbol was circumcision the Davidic Covenant was prophetic Symbol is fulfilled in Christ in the
- 17:46
- Lord's Supper Jesus the New Covenant sign there is Lord's Supper and we have covenant signs so I'm married here's a covenant sign of my wedding ring and So covenants have signs so we see that covenant is how
- 17:59
- God works so you can take a Program and look up the word dispensation or dispensations or dispensationalism in the
- 18:05
- Bible I think in the King James you find one instance look at the word covenant or covenants covenantal Whatever you find a whole bunch
- 18:13
- God works covenantally not dispensationally covenantal is God's self -revelation of his methodology as he reveals covenant
- 18:22
- Covenant patterns from the eternal covenant of Hebrews 1320 to the covenant patterns and revelations that he's given to various people in history and That's how he reveals himself
- 18:33
- Covenantally dispensationalism is man's view to impose certain Temporal durations upon the text to see how things are worked and So I I reject dispensationalism flat -out and I believe in covenantalism
- 18:51
- Though they have overlapping areas and covenantalism is far more complicated than dispensationalism is
- 18:58
- It's not easy to wrap your head around to all the covenantal aspects. So for example in covenantal aspects
- 19:05
- Unbelievers could be included in covenant. That's a little bit unheard of for a lot of people who don't think that's the case
- 19:10
- It is whole households were circumcised in the Old Testament when the man of the house would convert to Judaism The following the true
- 19:20
- God of Abraham and then their whole household be circumcised whether the servants believe or not was irrelevant
- 19:25
- They were under the authority and headship of the man of the house. He got circumcised. They got circumcised and so children were entered into the covenant of circumcision at eighth day and Unless the dispensationalist want to say that they're well gonna issue a belief and things like that Psalm 22 9 but anyway, so God works covenantally and I like to say to the dispensationalists when they make a pact of dedication of their babies to In front of the church.
- 19:56
- They have a baby They take it up to the church front and they they make a covenant with God and with the church people that they will raise this baby for the
- 20:04
- Lord Dedicating a baby. My question is where's the covenant sign with your covenant? God always has covenant signs a biblical pattern is covenant signs.
- 20:13
- Where's your covenant sign? What's the covenant sign? Sprinkling of the water Jesus was sprinkled incidentally in his baptism.
- 20:19
- You can go to Numbers chapter 8 verse 7 for that So biblically speaking the covenant is the biblical pattern
- 20:25
- God's pattern and dispensationalism is man's pattern and I would stick with covenant Pattern because it's based on the
- 20:31
- Word of God not the interpretation of men next
- 20:47
- I Don't even know my password anymore for this stuff changed so many times funny
- 20:58
- Yes 1045
- 21:06
- Okay Keep his life for ransom for many
- 21:22
- Well many is not all So I would say it's a good Doctrine for limited atonement a good verse for limited atonement that Jesus only bore the sins of the elect
- 21:31
- But the guy said what it is the Bible study leader said what? All Who are sold into slavery
- 21:42
- But they do serve at the same to give his life for ransom for many this that's not what it says there Can we say
- 21:49
- I said Jesus? Oh if getting back to the
- 21:56
- Greek would help let me look okay, let's see mark 1045 and Okay What did it do you know this stuff that program is so great it makes me look smart
- 22:15
- You guys knew how little I knew That's right It wouldn't be it would not be a good program.
- 22:23
- Oh, it's a really good program. That's right. It is really good Leave this and a man did not come to serve
- 22:32
- Okay, but to serve Okay, and It's all it says to serve these are
- 22:44
- I'm looking at the inner linear folks don't think I'm reading the Greek here Dick of a no a
- 22:51
- La duck of Nessie, so it just says serve but to serve that's what it says and give his life for many a ransom
- 23:01
- For many yeah Pontos is all and Paulos Palouse is many and that's what it is.
- 23:08
- We have Palouse in the Greek there So, I don't know it just that's what it says many cross -reference that with Romans 5 16 through 20 see what happens with reference to with the mini, but anyway, go ahead
- 23:32
- Next will the tribulation happen before or after the rapture before the rapture
- 23:38
- Actually, I was coming up with a proof. I'm trying to remember us. I go to bed. I think about things I'm like, okay remember this when
- 23:44
- I get for the morning because I was thinking about verses see if I can remember them now but the resurrection of the dead
- 23:51
- Resurrection of the dead happens at the last day John 6 37 through 40 Jesus says so I'll raise him up in the last day but in In 1st
- 24:00
- Thessalonians 4 16 through chapter 5 verse 2 the rapture is mentioned there, but they will not precede those who have risen so the resurrection of the dead happens on the last day and The rapture can't happen before that Because it says that the the dead in Christ shall rise first Then we who are alive are made shall be caught up together made him in the air
- 24:24
- So that means the physical resurrection of the people who died first must precede the rapture and Jesus says that Resurrection occurs on the last day
- 24:40
- Just put the preacher of rapture to rest. Okay, everybody repent It's poster of rapture and actually go to I think of Matthew 24 all sorts of 25
- 24:50
- Immediately after the tribulation of those days the angels go out and gather the elect and things like that 24, okay
- 24:59
- Yeah Hey, how you doing?
- 25:06
- I need lumpia Lumpia Lumpia is an awesome
- 25:12
- Filipino dish. Oh, it's good. Oh, yeah It's really good.
- 25:18
- You want to rub it your chest and just I don't know
- 25:29
- Good question. I don't know what time they are sunrise. I think sunset noon something like that.
- 25:34
- But yeah That's easy it's so easy let's go look at James Okay started
- 25:52
- James 2 14 There's this nasty word called context
- 26:00
- What use is it my brethren if someone says that he has faith, but he has no words can that Faith save him.
- 26:08
- What faith is that the faith that has no words? Now Mormon might immediately say well that's proves right there.
- 26:15
- You have to have works to be saved. That's not what it says What use is it if somebody says he has faith, but he has no works
- 26:22
- It's always talking about if a brother or sisters without clothing and in need of daily food and one of you says to them
- 26:28
- Go in peace be warmed and be filled and yet you not give them what is necessary for their body What use is that even so faith if it has no works is dead being by itself.
- 26:37
- Now, this is important This is the verse that is really critical right here verse 18
- 26:43
- But someone may well say you have faith and I have works show me your faith without the works
- 26:50
- I will show you my faith by my works. We call that the horizontal
- 26:56
- Because it's between people I said you show me your works.
- 27:01
- I'll show you mine. Yeah, I mean you show me your faith. I'll show you mine How by what you do? That's what's going on.
- 27:07
- He says on the horizontal. It's not on the vertical the vertical you go to Romans 4 1 through 5 What therefore shall we say that Abraham or forefather according to the flesh is found for for Abraham was justified by works
- 27:18
- He has something to boast about but not before God Okay, so that's what that's talking about the vertical
- 27:25
- Romans 4 talks about the vertical James 2 14 through 26 roughly is talking about the horizontal between people.
- 27:33
- How do you know that because of verse 18? But someone may well say you have faith. I have work show me your faith without the works
- 27:40
- I will show you my faith by my works. You show me I show you horizontal You believe that God is one you do well the demons also believe in shudder
- 27:49
- But are you willing to recognize you foolish fellow that faith that works is useless What are you talking about?
- 27:55
- Here is a human level. How do you know? Then he goes on was not
- 28:00
- Abraham our father justified by works when he offered up Isaac his son in the altar He's saying that his faith was proved to be true by what he did.
- 28:08
- That's all that's talking about there So you see that faith was working With his works and as a result of the works faith was perfected and the scripture was fulfilled which says and Abraham believed
- 28:18
- God It was reckoned in his righteousness now. That's James 2 23. Let me quote for you
- 28:24
- James 4 1 through 5 now remember this verse right here James 2 23 and Abraham believed
- 28:31
- God and it was accredited to him as righteousness Abraham believed. God is credited him as righteousness Romans 4
- 28:37
- What shall we say then my brother our brethren that? Abraham according to the flesh has found for for Abraham was justified by works
- 28:44
- He has something to boast about but not before God for what does the scripture say and Abraham believed God?
- 28:50
- Righteousness now to the one who does not What it works his his wage is not credited as a favor
- 28:56
- But what is due verse 5 but to the one who does not work but believes his faith is credited as righteousness
- 29:02
- Now Paul is clearly teaching that faith here is before God and the justifying faith that we have on the verticals before God James 2 is a justification before men.
- 29:13
- That's the difference. That's what's going on. That's the context Booyah This is just a comment from tulip from tulip make it good buddy
- 29:35
- Yes, next question, yeah, I'll expand on that. Yeah, let me spend it for fun
- 29:50
- I don't have any examples I'm not a historian so I can't do that But I do know that there were various people at various times even before Luther who believed in these doctrines
- 29:59
- Huss for one I forgot who else Well, then ZN's yes, thank you who believe in these things
- 30:06
- But there was a time when you don't really see much of that recorded in history, but that's just it It's not recorded in history and just because it's not recorded doesn't mean it wasn't occurring there certainly were people who believe in justification by faith alone the reason we know that is the case is because God Justifies by people by faith alone and he's going to reveal himself in various ways of various people at various times for that simple
- 30:30
- Doesn't have to be recorded in church history in any way shape or form for it to be valid They're going south the
- 30:44
- Assembly of God denominations going south stay away from it As are the Nazarenes stay away from it.
- 30:50
- They're going south. Also, they're starting to Adopt women pastors and elders the issues of homosexuality being broached as well and they teach you can lose your salvation
- 30:59
- Which means basically a form of self -righteousness and works righteousness. Yeah, I'm pretty much matter -of -fact about that stay within those denominations
- 31:06
- That's not to say they aren't Christian because they are not to say they're not Christian people in it because there are and very godly people in it
- 31:13
- It's just that overall the denominations both of them are starting to go south and just a matter of time
- 31:21
- They drain one time get your spin to the right or no, it's been to the left probably going down to drain I can't read it.
- 31:32
- What can't hear it. What? Okay, I can't hear you what you're saying
- 31:46
- Paula I can't understand what you're saying Oh I didn't know
- 31:57
- What I couldn't send the word I even know the town so that was the word I was getting confused on it Cuz I clicked my hearing, you know,
- 32:02
- I'm like what? Puyallup What that you know what happened there? That's when a gigantic mudslide of cow poop
- 32:11
- Puyallup That's what they call it that probably 1800s they got Puyallup And why are you smiling if those jokes are not good
- 32:23
- That was good, that's quick and slick and you smile anyway They got
- 32:28
- Puyallup, that's right. It was when a bunch of cows and poop, you know downhill
- 32:37
- Lenore That's funny Lenore Well, it's not
- 32:43
- Lenore, but anyway what that's a lava flow Yes, because it has worked righteousness involved in its etiological system what
- 33:05
- They're going south yeah, that's not to say that some aren't good, you know, are you really Nazarene good because you're reformed
- 33:12
- I Go to Calvary Chapel, though. I'm a five -pointer A Nazarene Calvinist, there's actually a movement in the
- 33:22
- Nazarenes trying to revamp and reform The oh, yes.
- 33:27
- I've been in contact with some of the guys in it on the East Coast. They recognized the Problems are trying to revamp it but you know, it's like Isaac Asimov said something was really true the science fiction atheist writer
- 33:39
- He said society has a momentum and it's very difficult to change that momentum Yes downhill, that's right next
- 33:59
- Evie free church is a good church. All right. I was gonna go to an Evie free seminary
- 34:04
- Trinity Evangelical Divinity School in Deerfield, Illinois, and I was accepted there
- 34:09
- I was also accepted at Westminster Seminary in San Diego. I lived in Orange County, which is halfway between roughly
- 34:17
- LA and San Diego and the reason I didn't go to Ted's Trinity because that's where I wanted to go was because my mom got breast cancer and instead of moving from San Diego to Our Orange County to Chicago I moved from Orange County to San Diego a two -hour drive
- 34:33
- So I had to stay near my mom. That's why I went to Westminster and then I became a slimy Calvinist.
- 34:40
- Oh Yeah, I gave up evangelism clear -thinking I became bigoted and hateful of hatred and I don't think
- 34:46
- God is loving and he's arbitrary. That's what Calvinist That's what we're guilty of isn't it?
- 34:51
- That's what I'm told. We're guilty of Even that's not what it really What? Socially awkward black
- 34:59
- I have Asperger's so I fit right in Yeah, that's true What's the next one?
- 35:15
- Bachelors in theology, I don't know of any online colleges for bachelors What's that? Masters, I don't know.
- 35:22
- I don't know Vinny I just don't know but I do know that apologetics degrees SES in South Carolina, North Carolina, Raleigh Charlotte Charlotte Charlottesville has online so I don't know what would be good for a college though But most colleges are kind of moving that way
- 35:46
- The slick college is also good The slick college the four -year degree you get in 30 -40 minutes used to answer some questions
- 35:55
- I Teach what you need to know in one hour instead of four years
- 36:01
- Because I'm slick Big glossy diploma Written in Klingon No, the
- 36:23
- Bible doesn't say how it's to be used but it gives us examples and Scripture interprets scripture
- 36:29
- And basically Jesus quotes the Old Testament for example as Paul does and just says have you ever heard it said but the problem is
- 36:34
- That under inspiration so it makes it difficult under inspiration They would quote something in the Old Testament that you wouldn't think would apply
- 36:41
- Sometimes and so without inspiration of the Holy Spirit It'd be difficult sometimes to do that But there are basic principles of hermeneutics and I have started writing a hermeneutic school.
- 36:52
- I have theology apologetics and Critical thinking and I want to do one on hermeneutical principles and let the
- 36:59
- Bible decide it not go dispensational And that's it. We're done
- 37:09
- We can quit after this next one When the
- 37:16
- New Testament can informally established I would say probably sometime before the foundation of the universe That's what
- 37:22
- I would say and then we recognized those books that God had ordained Anywhere from and there's there's different debate there's debates on when the various canon of the
- 37:34
- New Testament Was ratified some were pretty early and they had some very early canonical stuff with a few debates
- 37:40
- Hebrews James Jude I think it was and I think they had 27 books of the
- 37:45
- New Testament by the late 2nd century Yeah, I'd heard that but the 2nd century they had the books
- 37:52
- But there was still debates over some of them and it wasn't for another couple of hundred years Before it was formally ratified and I like to tell people the reason was is because basically
- 38:03
- Rome was Disintegrating and the Christians were fleeing and they weren't having these councils too much anymore
- 38:09
- So that's why it kind of took a while and then they formally got rest of it going
- 38:14
- Yeah, it's an interesting topic. I've just not gotten into it because it's not a very needful one very often
- 38:22
- But you had heard about that there's a moratorium canon There's some other cannons that they had a slight variation
- 38:27
- But for the most part it was like 90 % of it was known right away and only a few debated James Jude, I think
- 38:34
- Revelation I Think James was too but Another one.
- 38:42
- I think Peter I'm trying to remember, you know, it's been so long but Just because it was debated in one context doesn't mean it, you know, it wasn't valid.
- 38:51
- It's just You know various things happen. Anyway good. We're done. We're off Well He's got no he doesn't know he can't do this, oh man, oh, yeah,
