AD on FLF Network - Do I Really Want You Dead?

Social Media, Pandemic Preparations, and Personal Safety

Shelter in place order self quarantine New Hampshire day 12 or 13 or something like that. I am soon to be the proud owner of 10 Rhode Island red baby chicks. Hello there. This is ad Robles and you're listening to ad on the fight laugh feast network.

Right? Well, let me just say this social media has been a lot of fun lately. I'm just waiting though. I'm just waiting because the one thing I think that would make this whole situation blow up. And the one thing that you know, if it happened, you want to be ready for it.

You want to be you want to know what you're going to do. You want to know how to get in touch with people is for either the internet to go down or just the grid in general, to go down for any amount of time if the internet went down for an hour, or two hours or even 30 minutes.

I think we'd see savagery in the streets of epic proportions. And I'm not saying it's going to happen. But this is the thing there's a there's a difference between the people that that prepare for things that aren't normal and the people that don't prepare for things that aren't normal.

I if I were you, I would prepare for something like that to happen something something like that to happen where the internet goes down for a certain amount of time. And just be ready, be ready for it.

I hope you have a weapon at this point, you know, that kind of thing. To be trusting God but but definitely keep your powder dry if you know what I mean. If you live in one of these backwards tyrannical cities that doesn't allow you to have a gun, I might consider getting one anyway.

But at the very least, get yourself a knife or sword or something like that. Anyway, let's get into it. I'm just gonna take a little bit of a trip through Twitter today. Because that's probably enough content.

I think for an episode, let me just take a sip of this delicious coffee. Went to the grocery store this morning. And I have to say that last week I went to the grocery store, I saw one person one kind of didn't look like a very healthy person wearing a mask.

Today, I saw probably 1020 people with masks, including very healthy looking people. I was wearing gloves. I had sterile like gloves on I did not wear my n 95. Mask. I'm saving my masks for when the Rona virus comes in its full force.

Because here in my county, my entire county, we've got six confirmed cases, which means we probably have, I don't know 1000 real confirmed cases. But it's not that prevalent here. So I'm just I'm saving my I'm saving my stuff.

I'm saving my materials for when it really goes down. You know what I'm saying? Anyway, one more thing before we get started to, I just want to say thank you for everyone who supports me. Last night, we had a Google Hangout with some of my Patreon supporters.

Only two of us are on but we had a great, super encouraging conversation. It was a lot of fun. We'll do it again this month for sure. We'll do it again. Also, thank you for everyone who bought a no despair 2020 t shirt in April.

Good amount of you did and I really appreciate it. It supports the channel for sure. And honestly, I really don't think I could have picked a better year to make a t shirt that says no despair on it, baby.

That's what I'm talking about. No despair. Did you hear Donald Trump talking to the people of New York City, telling them not to despair. That's what I'm talking about, baby. I think Donald Trump might watch the ad Robles YouTube channel.

And if you do Donald, hats off to you, buddy. Actually, that's I should I should give you a little more hats off to you, Mr. President. Anyway, let's jump into this. So there is a guy on YouTube who he's done like five, maybe five videos or maybe more about yours truly.

Ad Robles. Man, I could I never imagined that I'd get to the point where someone would do a video about me but this guy's done like five videos and then I responded to one of them kind of like a joke.

I did it with the smooth ad persona. And I said that we would go back and forth maybe ask a few questions here and there answer them. And then I never did it because you know, Coronavirus blew up. And so every video has passed to be about Coronavirus, right?

We got to talk about that Rona. We have to talk about that Rona. And so I think he started to feel a little, a little lonely, a little lonely, a little neglected. And so yesterday or maybe today, I don't know.

I haven't watched it. I'm not going to do this. I can't do this. I really just can't. He made a video about me. And here is the title. Ready for this one. This is good stuff. This is good stuff. Ad Robles, Theonomist would rather have you dead than miss church.

Can you believe that? Ad Robles would rather have you dead than miss church. That's the title of his video. And you know, I posted on Twitter that I love when people do this and I'm not kidding. I do love well, let me let me kind of backtrack.

I don't love that people do this because this is this this is a sin. I mean, it's it's I can joke about I don't take offense to it. It's it's really stupid. I don't I'm not upset that he lied about me in this way.

But this is it is a sin to lie about people. So that's I don't want to joke about that. That's serious. But when people misrepresent you so egregiously, it actually helps you it actually helps you you need to be to the point where you're not a snowflake because this kind of stuff actually promotes my perspective because someone will will go to my video because he actually does play a good portion of my video.

I assume that's what he normally does. And in the video, I say very, very clearly that churches should make their own decisions about whether or not they meet people should make their own decisions about whether or not they meet self government is important in the biblical model of government that we've got the civil government, you got the church government, you got the family government and the self government, right?

And so you should make decisions that make sense for you. If you're a high risk person, you probably shouldn't go to church. If there's a pandemic that could potentially kill you at a high rate, that kind of thing.

That's what I've said in the video. All I all I want to know, all I want to do is say the civil government doesn't have the authority to shut church down. And he's turned that into in his warped, confused, angry mind.

I guess he's angry. I mean, you got to be kind of angry to lie about someone like this. Although he's very he seems very chill. He's very even keeled most of the time. Anyway, he turned that into my declaration that you should take responsibility for your own health and make decisions that make sense for you.

He turned that into, I want you dead. More than I don't want you to miss church. I'd rather have you dead. My goodness gracious. I love this because my opponents online and people that don't agree with me, they often make me look reasonable by comparison, which is very helpful.

Because if I didn't have the insanity of people making me look reasonable, I might look crazy. Can you imagine me looking crazy? I couldn't tell you that right now. Did you watch my video yesterday? This is a good one.

I didn't get a lot of traction. But I thought this was funny. I'm a little offended to be honest. This video here about me being refuted. In the video, I spray this Lysol in the air and I was just doing as a joke, but I accidentally sprayed it into my eyes.

So you'll see me like shake and stuff. It's pretty funny. Anyway, second thing I want to talk about is Thabiti. Thabiti Anyabwili. Thabiti Anyabwili is wrong about almost everything. Let's just face it.

He's wrong about almost everything. Some people were sharing a tweet of his yesterday that says that that marriage points back to the garden only because we're not going to be given in marriage in heaven.

That's what Jesus said. And people aren't given in marriage and taken in marriage and stuff in heaven. So therefore marriage points back to the garden. It doesn't point forward. And that's directly refuted in Scripture.

That's directly refuted in Scripture. The Scripture teaches that marriage actually points to something greater, forward, not backwards. You know what I mean? So it's directly refuted. But people were sharing that and they're thinking how wrong is he?

But I don't even care about his theology anymore. His theology is wrong for many reasons. But this is what I actually care about. Here is a thread that he thinks is super important. He says, let him who has ears to hear, hear.

Thread. Then he's got the two little black fingers down there. And this is a thread about how media watchdogs is awful and pointless and you should stop paying attention to it. You know, the people that say the media lies and the media stretches the truth and doesn't tell the truth and has a bias and has a slant.

This is a thread about how those people you shouldn't listen to them. Just listen to the media. Just listen to the mainstream media. This is amazing. Honestly, I can't trust anyone who thinks that the mainstream media is completely trustworthy and that you should you should ignore the watchdogs completely.

They're pointless. There's no point to them. Just take it. Take what we give you. Just swallow. That's what this guy's trying to get you to believe. He says, the media is not a monolith. It's not even really a thing.

You know, media is that you can't just say the media. And then he says, that it's not, it's bias for it's been biased forever. The media doesn't cover things wrong. It's rarely covers things wrong. It's rarely worse than the story itself, the media.

And this is so funny, because like, define rarely. They ever see that Seinfeld? Define rarely. He's talking to, I'll play the clip in just a second.

Then let me ask you this. Don't you find it interesting that your friend had the foresight to purchase postal insurance for your stereo? Huh? I mean, parcels are rarely damaged during shipping. Define rarely.

Frequently. Are we about through here, Newman? It's pretty hot under these lights, huh, Seinfeld? Pretty.

Hot. Actually, I'm quite comfortable. But the media is rarely worse than the story. Yeah. Do you remember the Epstein story where they had the Epstein story about how he liked to rape little girls? Remember that one?

That's pretty bad. And then the media had the story and squashed it. That's pretty bad. I don't know if it's worse, but it's just as bad. But that's rarely, rarely are they there. So you see, here's the thing.

Here's the thing. This whole thread is basically just believe what you're told, plebes. Just believe what you're told. And anyone who questions it does not deserve your attention. That's what Thabiti Anyabwile wants you to believe.

Thabiti Anyabwile is either naive or a liar himself. And I tend to think he's a liar himself. Because here's the thing. He's defending these gatekeepers. And I think I know why he's doing that. Because he's a gatekeeper.

The Gospel Coalition is a gatekeeper. The Gospel Coalition lies a lot. And so if you start to question the mainstream media too much, you might start to question him a little bit too much. And you can't have that.

We absolutely can't have that. Just believe what the Gospel Coalition tells you. That's what he wants you to do. That's pretty bad. To me, that's worse than his bad theology. His bad theology is bad. Don't get me wrong.

But this idea that you should just accept it. Just accept what you're told, you peasants. I'll tell you what's what, man. Just follow Thabiti Anyabwile Twitter feed. That's all you got to do. And you'll know what's true.

Meanwhile, he has fallen victim. And I don't think he's actually a victim. He has spread lies before by the media. He has spread lies before. So he knows the media lies because he's participated in spreading those lies.

And it came to fruition that it was a lie. Remember the Covington situation for like that? He remembers that. He did that. He apologized for it at some point, even though he really didn't because he didn't say anything specifically.

He just kind of did a general vague BS apology. And now he wants you to just, you know, just believe the media though, right? Just believe him. Thabiti Anyabwile. Here's Russell Moore. Russell Moore. I have not heard this yet.

I shared it yesterday because he says in this episode, I go on a rant about Netflix Tiger King. And I said a rant. I've been posting rants lately. I in fact, I posted a rant about Russell Moore. Is it possible that he's trying to maybe see how it is that I do things and maybe maybe copy me if you look at his YouTube channel, look at the stats.

He's got more subscribers than me. But if you look at video views, just I'm blowing this guy out of the water every day. And he must hate that. Oh, he must hate that. If you type in Russell Moore in your YouTube bar right now, my videos are gonna come up in the top five.

That must burn him up. That must burn him up. Hey, Russ. If you do watch my videos, I want you to know something. My budget for my YouTube channel. It's like 12 bucks. It's like 12 bucks a month. I bought a very cheap editing software got this pretty cheap camera, microphone, cheap camera.

And then I spend $9 a month on a YouTube kind of like assist app. And then a couple extra bucks on an email account. And that's pretty much it. That must burn you up, huh? I get way more video views than you do.

And I'm willing to bet that your budget for your YouTube channel is probably slightly more than 12 bucks a month. Probably by a magnitude of, I don't know, 10 100. I don't know. It's hard to say. It's hard to say that must burn you up, Russ.

But let's listen to your rant. Because I'm pretty sure this is not going to be a rant. Let's see what it says.

Hey, this is Russell Moore. And this is Reading in Exile where I kind of walk around my library and take out books that we can talk about together. Last night, I found myself watching because really ending the series, because several people have been recommending, you really need to watch Tiger King on Netflix.

I don't know how many of you have seen this. It is not, I would caution you, the language is horrible. And the reality is really, really dark. So if you're not able to navigate through that, don't don't watch it.

But I was watching this documentary, which is about these competing large cat exotic zoo owners going at each other and threatening to kill each other and having all of these plots against each other with a really dark view of human nature.

And then after I turned it off, turning to the news and seeing the calamity that is all around us, we're all worried and burdened down with. And then as I'm flipping through, I came across one of these.

This is this is this is boring.

Those of you who know me know there is nothing that makes me angrier than prosperity gospel grifters. And some of them are the very same ones that really threw me into a spiritual crisis as a teenager, you know, Jim Baker, who was out scandalizing the entire world with the name of Jesus in the 1980s, when I was a kid is now selling these products that if you just send him money, you can get rid of Coronavirus and someone else standing up and saying if you just send your seed gift, God will prosper you.

If you hear anybody talking that way. That's likely a heretic and a lunatic together. So prosper.

Well, I gotta I gotta be I'm proud of Russell Moore here. I'm proud of Russell Moore here, guys. I just want you to know, because he's he named a name. Did you see Jim Baker? He actually named someone.

First of all, that's a no, no, not supposed to do that. That's what I've been told by many an ERLC gospel coalition biggie of a type. But maybe it's because he thinks he's a heretic. So that's why you can name them.

You can name heretics. I don't know that that's actually in the Bible that you can name heretics, but not others. But I'm proud of you. I'm proud of you, Russ for naming a name. But this is this is pretty lackluster for a rant.

Let's give him a should we give him a few more minutes. I think we should give him a few more minutes or maybe a few more seconds to see if he gets to the rant. But if this continues, Russ, I've got some advice for you on your on your YouTube channel.

Charity gospel didn't mean to go off on a rant on that. But all of those things together, within just a few minutes.

Well, that that that is his rant. Apparently, I will I will say though, look at this 11 .4 1000 views. So maybe, maybe he is getting his money's worth on his on his YouTube channel. Because this is not his YouTube channel.

This is his Twitter feed. So he gets a lot more views on his Twitter feed. I also do as well. Oh, there it is. He's got 160 ,000 followers. That's a lot. He's got 160 ,000 followers. And he gets about 12 ,000 views on his on his on his stuff.

YouTube channels is pathetic. But but anyway, yeah, so there it is. There's there's his there's his rant. I would suggest Russ, Russ more is to maybe, maybe find find your your emotions a little bit more when it comes to your rants because it's a little it's a little sparse when you when you when you when you sell something as a rant.

We're expecting to see a little fire in the belly. You know what I mean? And I gotta be honest, that was just a little bit sparse. I don't know. I don't know. Maybe it's just not my taste. Maybe I'm just one of those.

Those evil patriarchy machismo guys that just I'm just too too harsh. I don't know. Yeah, so this week that we've been talking a lot about Romans 13 and stuff like that and all this kind of thing. I noticed that a couple of jurisdictions have decided to make church a essential service so that way it would be exempted from all of these stay-at-home orders and these these anti-gathering orders and stuff like that.

And so now you Romans 13 people are in a bit of a predicament. Are you not because daddy has told you that you're essential and so now if you don't meet are you disobeying Romans 13? They said you're essential.

You gotta stay open and so if you don't stay open my friends now now are you how do you balance this? You gotta love your neighbor as yourself. So clearly you gotta shut down church. You can't do the means of grace when there's a pandemic of course love your neighbor or so, but on the other hand now you've gotta listen to the daddy.

Your daddy told you that you're essential. That's a tough one guys. That's a tough one and it's fabricated because you think the government can tell you when and when you shouldn't meet for church. That's a you see here's the thing I've learned about God's law over the years.

God's law is not ridiculous. God's law is not ridiculous even in theory and so this whole idea of of we can make tax rates whatever we want that would be a ridiculous thing for God's law to say because God's law because because here's here's here's an example.

You've you've gotta you gotta give to the Lord right. You've gotta tithe, but what if the government said tax rates are 99 Well now you can't tithe because you gotta tithe on the gross, right? Well, actually that's why I don't think you have to tithe on the gross because then God's law could be made to be undoable that kind of thing.

That's kind of a complicated point. I don't want to get into that forget. I haven't said anything anyway. I hope you found this grab bag Twitter exploration helpful. Let's end with my video here because I want this to get more play.

I do let's check it out and so and so for those reasons and those Bible verses, that's why I think that you know we should you know consider our our specific circumstances and our specific contexts and then decide whether or not we should meet for worship.

We shouldn't let the government decide for us and that that's I mean II think it's a well-reasoned approach and and and there's a lot of biblical precedent for it and historical precedent for that kind of thing as well along with the constitution itself.

That's another reason why I think he has of your neighbor as yourself. I have been refuted. I'm officially an idiot. There's no question about it. There's no question about it. Check out. Here's where I do the Lysol thing.

Alright. I hope you found this podcast. This video helpful. God bless.
