Book of Romans - God's Governance of Man | Why We Should Obey Our Leaders (12/26/2021)

All right, we are going to get into Romans chapter 13 today, we might finish that would be interesting, but we might not we'll just have to see. So let me, let me share my screen once again here, and we're happy to have all you guys with us today at Park Meadows, and we're doing online only today.

Mainly because we had so many people out traveling for Christmas holidays, they're not here today and, and then just all of a sudden, you know, as the week went on this new COVID thing is spreading like wildfire.

We've got folks in our church that have it, and probably was a little better that we didn't meet together anyway, although I'm convinced that eventually we're just gonna have to treat this like colds and the flu, even though I know it can be worse for a lot of people, but it is what it is and it's here to stay.

So we're not going to be able to shut down the entire world for COVID forever. So I think you know that and that's coming. But anyway, we were staying at home already today so I think, you know, I think the Lord worked that out for good for us.

So let me go ahead and share my screen here and we'll get started. Okay. All right, I think that's got it right. Certainly hope so. I can, I can see what I need to see, and I think we're ready to get started.

God's Governance of Human Life in Romans 13

So here we are in Romans chapter 13. And really the whole idea of this chapter, if you've been with us for a few Sundays is how God governs the actions of men in the world. And so that's kind of what we're talking about.

And we've got five different ways that he does this and we'll be talking about all these different ways as we go. We've already talked about the Christians relationship to human government a little bit.

We're still kind of in the middle of that one. Today we're going to get into reasons that Christians should obey their earthly governors and leaders. And then we're going to talk about Jesus Christ's law of love.

That's the law that we're actually under now. We'll talk about that in this chapter. And then how does the second coming affect how we live? So that's a part of this as well. All right. So let's review just a little bit.

Romans chapter 13, verse one says, let every soul be subject unto the higher powers for there is no power, but of God, the powers that be are ordained of God. So let's have a word of prayer once more, and then we'll get started into the scriptures.

Lord, we just thank you for this time to meet together. Once again, we ask you to be our teacher. Lord, may your spirit fill each one of us. And we know you connect us to one another. Help us to sense that today.

And you connect us to yourself and to the father. And we thank you so much for that great truth. And so be our teacher today. And we ask it in Jesus name. Amen. Well, as we look at this verse, you know, it elicits some questions.

And we asked this a couple of times ago. If you'd have been a German prior to World War II and you saw Adolf Hitler rise to power, would you have thought that was God's will? Would you have thought that he was ordained by God to be the leader of your country at that time?

That's a great question. We had some people attempting to answer that one in, you know, in church that day, a couple of Sundays ago. And sometimes we ask this right after that. Now, you know, some of you guys might not have been on for that one.

Most of you probably were, though. And the answer to that was that you would not have had a modern state of Israel right now if Hitler hadn't killed close to eight million Jews in World War II. The only reason that the nations of the world, from a human viewpoint, the only reasons that the nations of the world allowed Israel to rise up again as a nation and to actually be a nation is because they literally felt sorry for them.

They felt sorry for them and felt they needed a place to go for safety. And that's how God used what was going on in the world or caused these events to come to pass, because Israel had to be a nation again in order for all the prophecies of the end times to be fulfilled, because there's going to be another temple.

There's going to be a pig offered on the altar of that temple. That temple has to be there. It has to be in a place called Jerusalem. It's got to be in a country called Israel. So if it hadn't been for Hitler, none of that would have happened from a human viewpoint.

So, yes, that was part of God's will. And he was in control of him being a leader, but you might not have thought so if you had lived there in that time. So that brings the next question, is God's will sometimes mysterious to us?

And there's my implied answer. And then so you might ask the question, is God fair? Well, you know, there's a lot of interesting ways you could answer that. If God were fair, all human beings being from a fallen race would probably end up no probably about it.

We would have ended up in hell if he were fair. So God is better than fair. Now, if you ask the question, is he just? Absolutely. He's just. And the reason it's fair for him to save us is because he is just and the justifier of those to come to him by Jesus Christ.

So when Jesus gave his life for us and his body became the bread of life and his blood became to be pictured by the wine that we drink together. It is that body and that blood that was given to pay our sin debt in full.

And so when Jesus right before he died, he said it is finished. And in Greek, it means paid in full. And that's why we get to go to heaven, not because it's fair, but because God is just. And since Jesus died in our place and ransomed us, paid the price to free us from Satan, from sin, from our own sins, then he's just to save us.

And so, yes, God not only is just, but God is fair. It's just sometimes we don't see the whole picture that he sees. We don't have all the information that God has. And we try to make our base, our opinions on the little dab of information we know.

And a lot of times we blame God for things, which is really foolish. And we should repent from that the second after we do it. And because we don't have all the information. God is loving. He is omniscient.

He knows everything. He is just. He is good. And so sometimes we don't think so in the moment, but we need to get over that and realize he sees the whole picture and he loves his plan. There's not another plan.

There's only one plan because he's perfect and a perfect God does not need to make additional plans. We're in it. We're in the best plan. Does it include suffering? We talked about that in Sunday school under Brother Bill Nichols this morning.

Yes, by God's ordination, by his predestination, predetermination, it does include suffering. But I think it was really smart that Brother Bill pointed out that when Satan tempted Eve, he said, well, surely you think God would want you to know good and evil, not just good.

And Eve chose to know both. So that's why we have both. So you can blame that on man. Blame it on Adam and Eve is why we have evil along with the good, because they ask for it. And that is a fact. And the entire race is fallen.

And by God's grace, he has chosen to save some from every people group in the world unto himself to be his own children. And only because of what Jesus did for us. Right. OK, so when we're trying to think about that and think about sometimes things happen that make us wonder, why does God bring these things to pass?

We need to remember Isaiah 55, 8. For my thoughts are not as your thoughts, God says, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than yours and my thoughts higher than your thoughts.

We need to remember that we don't know all the information. Only God does. And his plan is perfect. Verse five, in that same context, says for thy maker is thy husband. And the Lord of hosts is his name and thy redeemer, the holy one of Israel, the God of the whole earth.

Shall he be called? And so in that context, it talks about this. And we asked the question last time, is this who's this talking to? What is the context here in Isaiah 54? God says to whoever this is he's speaking to, he says, just for a small moment, have I forsaken thee?

And sometimes when we go through tribulation and trouble, we think God has moved himself away from us. Normally, often it's because we've moved ourselves away from him. And as soon as we go to first John one, nine, and we confess our sins, in other words, agree with God that we have done sinful things and that they are sinful.

Then it says he is just to it says he's faithful, which means he'll do it every time. And just which means it's right for him to do this, to forgive us of all of our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

And so, you know, it may feel like he's forsaken us, but he hasn't. And to the Old Testament sake, Saint, which was a little different because the cross hadn't happened yet. God had not sent his son into the manger that we think about this time of year.

He wasn't born into this world yet. He hadn't died yet. He didn't present his blood at the throne in heaven yet from the Old Testament's viewpoint. And so for them, it did feel like God had forsaken them.

But he said, even when it feels that way, it's just for a small moment. But with great mercies, will I gather thee? And the question is, who was he speaking to in this passage? What's the context? And whoever this is, he says this.

No weapon that is formed against thee will prosper. And every tongue that shall rise up against thee in judgment, you will end up condemning or judging. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is from me, saith the Lord.

That gives us a hint that he is not only speaking of the nation of Israel, which is the primary context here, but there is a secondary application to all servants of the Lord throughout all time and in every place.

And so to all of these people, chapter 55, verse 1 says, Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and he that hath no money, come ye. Why? Because you cannot buy salvation. You cannot do good works to earn it.

It's free. So if you have no way to pay God to be saved, then that's who God's talking to, a person that understands that. A person that understands the church can't save you. The actions that we do at church can't save us.

The good works we do can't save us, not by righteousness of our own, or we save it by his mercy, or we save through faith, the Bible teaches, so that we cannot boast about it. Right? And so those that have no money, that's just a picture of the fact that there's nothing that we have that we can buy salvation with.

But once we realize that, and only after we realize that, are we prone to be moved to come to the Lord and receive free salvation. So he says, come you. Who's you there? The person who knows he can't buy it.

He can't earn it. It's grace, and by definition, the word grace means undeserved favor. So it's got to be free. It's undeserved. You can't earn it. That's who he wants to come to, people that understand that.

So come and buy and eat, and that's a figure of speech. You're buying it with nothing except the blood of Jesus. He's the one who paid for it. He is the one who gave the ransom, the payment to pay for our sins.

Yay, come buy wine and milk without money. See, without your ability to pay for it, get it. The word buy means obtain there. Obtain it, and you get that without paying a price because Jesus paid the price.

But who is this beautiful verse speaking to? Not just the Jews, and we talked about it last time. In John 4, verse 13, Jesus said to the woman at the well, such a beautiful story. This woman who was not yet saved, but the Lord was tracking her down.

That's why this was no accident that they met. This was God's ordained history for this woman to be at the well exactly at the same time Jesus Christ was. And he told her, if you drink of this water, you will never thirst again.

But whosoever drinketh of the, oh, he says you will thirst again if you drink the water of this well. They were standing at a well together. If you drink this water, you'll thirst again. But look what he said in verse 14, whosoever drinks of the water that I shall give him will never thirst.

But the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up to everlasting life. This is the same exact water that Isaiah was talking about. In fact, Jesus most likely was quoting that verse we just saw in Isaiah to this Samaritan woman who was half Gentile and half Jew.

So I ask you again, who is being spoken to in Isaiah? Just the Jews only or to some people from every people group, both Jew and Gentile and from every nation. We see it again in Revelation 22, verse 17.

And the spirit and the bride, the bride, of course, is the church. So the Holy Spirit and we as the church are supposed to be giving an invitation to the world. And we're supposed to be saying, hey, come to Jesus Christ.

He's the savior of the world. And we're supposed to say to them, let him that hear say come. So there are people who won't hear. The Bible is very clear. There are people that don't have ears to hear.

God, Jesus calls them goats as opposed to the sheep who do have ears to hear. He calls them tares or weeds as opposed to the wheat, which do have ears to hear. But everyone that has ears to hear, they will become a Christian and be part of the bride of Christ.

And they will then give the invitation. And so that invitation goes out to the whole world to come to God through Jesus Christ. And let him that is a thirst anywhere in the world from any nation, Jew or Gentile, anyone who is thirsty, let him come.

And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely. Who was this written to appears to be to people from all over the world, not just the Jews. And we know in Galatians 3, starting in verse 6, it says, Even as Abraham believed God, it was counted to him for righteousness.

Know you, therefore, that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham. So it doesn't just include the Jews. But Abraham, as we see here in verses 8, 9, was made the father of many nations.

And so anyone who comes to God by faith in Jesus Christ is adopted into the family of God. And what a beautiful thing. So this is spoken. This is actually spoken to anyone in the world from any nation who will have ears to hear.

Right. OK, so now this is interesting. And I sort of botched this last Sunday's reason I'm doing it over, but I do like to review anyway so that you guys that weren't here last time know the context of today's lesson.

But I really messed up the ending last time. And so I want to just show this to you because it's actually amazing. And I was at church, you know, in course kind of preaching from paper, which I had been used to preaching from these PowerPoints.

And so I didn't have some of the notes on the paper that I needed, unfortunately, and I couldn't see the PowerPoint. But let's just think about this. Every truth that God gives us in the Bible is interwoven together throughout all the 66 books of the Bible.

Now, you think about this. You don't find any actual truth or major doctrine that is a standalone doctrine. It's just you'll find it from Genesis to Revelation again and again and again, reviewed again and again.

How many times did the Apostle Paul let me remind you, brothers? How many times did he say that? Let me remind you, brethren. So these truths come up again and again and throughout the Bible. Think about think about the 66 books written by over 40 different human penman separated by thousands of miles and hundreds and decades and centuries of time and wrote the same book with the same story and all pointed to Jesus Christ.

Only God could have done that. So the word of God is God breathed. God is the author of it, not humans. And if you remember that, it'll help you as you study the Bible. Every word you read, in fact, every little word, in fact, every cross of the T and dot of the I is exactly where God wanted it to be.

When he put this book together, it's it's an eternal book. It came from a place that isn't a place where there is no time into time. And now we have it. And not only did God breathe it or inspire it, but he says he protected it.

And not only that, but he preserved it to the last generation. So we still have it and you can count on that. And so it's interesting to think about how these truths are so intricately interwoven throughout the Bible so that the believer is constantly having his faith increased on all of these different doctrinal truths as he reads through the Bible.

In fact, we we know that's true because Romans 1017 says, so then faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God. So God has to give us ears to hear, though there are a lot of people that won't hear it.

There's some people the Bible says that have no faith in that. Interesting. They will never have faith, have no faith. Jesus said they are called tears. And Jesus said, I did not put them here. Satan put them on the earth.

Think about that. That's a whole nother subject, isn't it? But there are people who do have ears. And if you're here this morning, it's obviously because you have ears to hear you say, well, you know, maybe I'm not sure.

Maybe I don't. Well, does it bother you when you sin? Does it? Do you think about your eternal destination? Because if you do, then you're a sheep. Now, you may not be a saved sheep yet. You might still be a lost sheep.

But Jesus said no man comes to the father. Sorry, no man comes to me unless the father draw him. And he said this of them. I will lose nothing, but we'll raise it up in the end. So Jesus isn't going to lose one single sheep.

So there's a huge difference between a lost sheep and a goat, because goats don't care about their eternal destiny. They don't care about God. They're bored by the Bible. They love their sin and the lost sheep.

They will run with the goats, but they feel really guilty every time they sin. And eventually the Holy Spirit will show up in their life on their spiritual birthday and open their eyes and take their chin and push it up and say, look at that.

There's the shepherd. You're a sheep. You're hungry. He's got the food. What will you do with him? And the Holy Spirit makes him irresistible at that time. Jesus becomes totally irresistible and you receive him because you want to.

But the Holy Spirit had to help you want to. He changed your want to in a moment of time. And that's called conversion. That's the born again experience. And it's all by the workings of the Holy Spirit on your life.

So if you're feeling that, yes, I've always been drawn to God, but I just don't think I know him personally, but I do care about my eternal destiny. Then you're a sheep. All you have to do to become a saved sheep is just look up.

And once you see him, you will desire him and you will receive him as your personal Lord and Savior. Just by saying, Lord, I open my heart up to you. I'm calling on you today because I want to. And I want you to be my Savior and walk with me the whole rest of my life.

And then you'll know that you're born again and you'll know that you're a saved sheep. And that's just how it works. But even after we're saved, as we study the Bible, our faith even grows beyond the original saving faith that God gave us at the moment of our salvation.

It's interesting. If you have the King James Version, it's the only accurate English version. And it's the only one that comes from the correct Greek. I can prove that if you've got two years to study with me.

I'd happily do it. It's an amazing topic. But in the King James only, it's the only English version that I'm aware of where it says in many places in the book of Galatians. I can think of places in Romans, Ephesians, I believe, but many places.

It says that we're saved by the faith of Jesus, not faith in Jesus. Now, there are places where it says we're saved by faith in Jesus, but that is an effect. The cause of the salvation is when the Holy Spirit gives us Jesus's faith.

He does over 33 things to us in an instant of time at the moment that he saves us. And one of those things the Holy Spirit does is he gives us Jesus's faith, which can walk on water. Our faith is here one day gone the next.

We doubt God the first time he doesn't answer a prayer. But Jesus's faith never doubts God. And that's the faith that saves us. God gave that to us as a gift in Ephesians 2, verses 8, 9, and 10. You'll see it very clearly.

And in Galatians 2 .20, you'll see it's the faith of Jesus, not faith in Jesus. Our human faith comes as a result or an effect of it, not the cause. That's great doctrine, great Bible. So true. But once we have this faith given to us by the Holy Spirit, our faith can grow every time we read the Word of God or hear the Word of God preached.

Now, let me remind you from last Sunday, Sunday before last, we went into chapter 9 of the book of Genesis. And we talked about the Noahic covenant after the flood was the first time that human law and capital punishment was brought into the world.

You'll find that in Genesis chapter 9, or you can go back to parkmeadowschurch .com and click the previous sermons from the last two or three Sundays, a couple of Sundays, and you'll find more detail on this.

But the dispensation of human law began right after the flood, and capital punishment was introduced by God to the world, and it was allowed for the first time men could eat meat, and they needed that for strength.

All that is found right there in chapter 9. And so you see the covenant thought of the Noahic covenant where he promised never to destroy the world by water, and he gave the rainbow. That happens at the same time the dispensation of human law is given.

And so we talked about that last time. But in the context of this, I want you to think about this, because as we ask that question, who was the book of Isaiah, that little passage in Isaiah where he said, come to me and receive the water of life, the passage in the New Testament, the book of John, where Jesus told the woman of the well, come to me and you'll have water that you will never thirst again.

It will be like a spring of water rising up, like it's always flowing fountain of water in your heart and in your life. Come to me and ask for it. And then in the book of Revelation at the very end of the Bible, the last book of the Bible says that the spirit and the church say, come and whosoever will let him receive the water of life freely.

Who is that written to? Well, it's really interesting. Some people say, well, in Isaiah, it was just to the Jews. That is not correct. The primary context is to the Jews, but the secondary interpretation is to some people from every people group.

And if you go and look carefully in this passage in chapter 9 of Genesis, you'll see proof in it. And this is amazing. So look at this. Genesis 9, 26. This is right after the flood. And Noah was prophesying over his three sons.

And he said, blessed be thou God of Shem, and Canaan shall be his servant. Now we know that Shem was the father of the Jewish nation, the spiritual nation, right? And so it mentions Shem, the father of the Jews here.

Now look at the next verse. And God shall enlarge Japheth. That's the Caucasians of the world, Germans, French, Spanish, Americans, everywhere in the world where Caucasians are. He prophesied Japheth is their father.

And he says God will enlarge Japheth and make him the larger of all the people of the world. But look what this says about Japheth. This would be the Gentiles, right? Part of the Gentiles anyway. But look what it says.

God will enlarge Japheth and Japheth will dwell in the tents of Shem. Have you ever seen that before? I got goosebumps just now when I read that. Because Japheth will dwell in the tents of the Jewish people.

Listen, the Jews were given the oracles of God. The Gentiles didn't have it. Go study the Greeks, study the Romans. They did not have a clue about God. They were so ridiculous in the things that they thought.

Now, they thought about God. They believed there was a creator. But they had multiple gods, didn't they? They didn't know anything about God. They did not know him personally. They only knew that God, a god, or many gods existed.

And they figured that out just from the creation. Just like Romans 1 says, they're without excuse. But they got it completely wrong. The philosophers, as brilliant as the Greeks were, they got it totally wrong.

They had no revelation. And the fact is, man in and of himself, from a humanistic viewpoint, cannot draw from within himself any knowledge of God, other than the fact that he exists. He cannot know anything about him.

And that's what's so humorous about humanism to me. And it tries to creep into the church through Arminianism. And every church group, the Catholics were the first one, but then the Protestants, the Baptists have gone through it.

They all go through this cycle. They start out knowing God is sovereign, like Augustine, one of the greatest fathers of the Roman Catholics, knew God was sovereign. He believed in predestination. He believed in eternal security, that once you were saved, you could not lose it.

He believed in foreign nation and election and taught all these things, but no one believed him. So the Catholic church went a different direction. They went more towards humanism, and they went around the cycle that Satan takes every group through, where they get more and more humanistic, and man has a bigger role.

In fact, the Catholics don't believe you can get saved without the human component. You've got to have the church, right? The Bible doesn't teach that. The Bible teaches it's the blood of Jesus plus nothing.

But the Roman Catholics went through this circle. Well, now, so the Baptists have, too. I grew up Baptist. I call them Bapto-Catholics because they've gone through the same cycle. They add more and more of man to it, the necessity of man to help man get saved.

And the Bible just doesn't talk about it. What's beautiful about this is that in this ancient writing, in the very book of Genesis, the beginnings of knowledge of God and of man, Noah prophesies and says Japheth will be enlarged.

He will bring so many amazing things into the world, and the economies of the West were brought into place by Japheth, the modern economies of the West. But if he didn't dwell in the tents of Shem, Japheth would know nothing about God.

But Noah said he would. And so the Lord has adopted us into the family of God through the knowledge of the scriptures that the Jews brought to the world. Isn't that a beautiful thing? And Jesus died not only for those Jews, but also for all who have faith in him.

And that's so neat that this is found in the earliest portions of scripture. Six thousand or more years ago, it was written, and it's been true all through the ages. So who was it written to in Isaiah where it talked about this water of life?

It was written to all men, and everyone who has ears to hear may hear it and come to Christ. And there we have it. Isn't that cool? So it's written to both you and Gentile, God's children everywhere. All right.

Why Christians Should Obey Earthly Leaders

So we talked about the Christian's relationship to government. And secondly, let's go into our second thought here in Romans chapter 13, reasons that Christians should obey their earthly leaders. Now, this one is not so comfortable for a lot of us.

I mean, like you go back to the question, the very first verse that we read that says that God has ordained every leader that exists in the world, that includes in China, that includes in Russia, and that includes in Washington, D .C. right now, this very minute.

That's a little hard for us to chew on that, isn't it? But it's a fact. I mean, anybody that was with us the last two Sundays, we don't even doubt it at this point. The scripture just proved it in Romans chapter 13, right?

But why should we obey them? Well, verse 1 says we should obey them because they're ordained of God. But now we start to see why. Look at verse 2. Whosoever, therefore, resists the power. Now, this is talking about the earthly human governors and leaders and presidents and whatever they are.

They might even be a dictator that God puts over a particular nation, all the nations of the world. They rise up into power. And anyone who resists the power that God ordained would be there at that given time.

He is resisting the ordinance of God. Wow. He's resisting the predestination and foreordination of God, which put that person in leadership. Isn't that something? Now, that's a truth that we forget about.

And, boy, we shouldn't forget about it. Now, on January 6th, the media of this nation along together have conspired with the Democrats to call that a coup. If that had been a coup and there were any Texans in that crowd, which I personally know friends who were in that crowd, they would have won that battle because they would have gone in there with weapons, right, with guns, flaming.

That was not a coup. That was a peaceful march expressing what the Constitution gives us, freedom of speech, is what that was. Now, were there some bad apples in the group? Absolutely. And some of them forgot verse 2 here.

They forgot that if they resist the power that's there, and they say, well, but Trump actually won, so Biden didn't have a right. Well, why don't you look at how God has ordained this? Who is sitting in the White House right now?

Biden, not Trump. So God ordained that Biden would win even through cheating, okay, if you believe that. I believe it. I've seen that before. I saw it when John Kennedy beat Nixon. My grandmother was a worker among the only few, like four or five Republicans in Texas.

Everybody else was a Democrat back when I was a kid. But guess what? They were Democrats who didn't believe in abortion. They did believe in God. And they didn't think you should kill babies. And there's a lot of other stuff Democrats believe today that they did not believe.

In fact, when Ronald Reagan became president, they all switched and became Republicans, most of them, nearly all of them. So anyway, one thing that these folks forgot that day on January 6th, some of them, in fact, the huge majority didn't forget this.

The huge majority were peaceful, but a small minority of them resisted the ordinance of God. They forgot that God put Biden there. Now they were still doubting that he should be there. I understand that.

But look what else it says. They that resist shall receive to themselves damnation. Now, whoa. Let's take a look at this, though. Sometimes we do have to take a look at the Greek because the King James being the only actual English version that comes from the correct Greek, sometimes it has archaic English words in there that are difficult for us to understand.

You might want to jot this down, but you've got to get every word right, or you'll end up the wrong Bible. But there is one that's out of print called the new and has to have the word new in it. The new Schofield study Bible.

KJV. If you can find those only be in the book, used bookstores and they're going to cost you about 50 bucks, but it's well worth it because that is the King James. But where these old archaic English words are, they put bars around it and put a modern English word where it translates correctly for us today.

And then it puts the original one in the, in the margin. It is so good because it comes from the correct Greek, but it's in readable English. But now don't confuse that with the thing called the new King James, because that's a lie.

That's not even a King James at all. It comes from Westcott and Hort and the wrong Greek. And he got two years. Like I said earlier, I'll show you how that works. But just if you don't want to take the time to study it, you got to trust me on it, but it's a fascinating study, manuscript evidence where our Bibles come from.

You don't want one of the modern English versions that comes from Westcott and Hort. It's from totally terrible theory of how God preserved. The word of God is not how he did it. And they totally messed up and I'm, I am not convinced Westcott or Hort.

That's their last names. Either one was a born again Christian. I'm convinced they weren't because we can read letters that they wrote to each other. And if you read those, they don't talk like Christians to me.

But anyway, every, the sad thing is every seminary is bought into their theory, even the ones that our kids would go to. So it's pathetic, but anyway, that's a, that's a good rabbit trail new King James.
