  1. Yeah. Do you know the Bible is God's Holy Word?

  2. Do you know it is inspired, in errant, and infallible?

  3. If so, like, share, subscribe and support this podcast. So

  4. we are mere Nathal Ministries and now Redemption draweth nigh. Welcome,

  5. ladies and gentlemen, Welcome to the fellowship tonight. We're doing

  6. a special request from Darlene that's come about this conversation,

  7. come about last week, and it's it's pretty important for

  8. us to look at it. Very simple thing. But you know,

  9. most people, when I do this in a classroom setting,

  10. the title alone catches him by surprise. What do you

  11. mean by that? The miracle of belief? Well, it really

  12. is that simple when this does not take a whole

  13. lot of information. The original language here for the Greek

  14. is really quite simple. It's not hard to deduce or

  15. deduct what's going on. But Darlene had this question last week, Well,

  16. what did that mean whenever Jesus was restricted? How can

  17. you restrict the Son of God? How is that possible?

  18. But Darlene brought this up from oh Mark chapter six

  19. and Matthew chapter thirteen. But you know, let's do this

  20. from the first one Mark chapter six, verse six, and

  21. he being Jesus marveled at their unbelief. When you go

  22. to the Sister chapter there in Matthew chapter thirteen, verse

  23. verse fifty eight will poke you in the eye. It's

  24. not a very nice verse. It's the truth, That's what

  25. it is. It's the truth. And it's verses like this

  26. that the how do I put that politically correct? The

  27. Church as a whole will reject They will avoid this

  28. like the flag. But this is what it reads in

  29. the New King James version. Now he being Jesus, Now

  30. he did not do many mighty works there because of

  31. their unbelief. That's that's the stird. What does that mean

  32. when you tear that apart? What can that possibly mean? What?

  33. Let's ask Tammy Jammy, what does that mean.

  34. That they didn't have the faith, so he didn't he

  35. couldn't do any work. I mean, they didn't believe him.

  36. Well, I appreciate that, but that's misdirection, and I don't

  37. appreciate misdirection. So so Jesus could not do miracles.

  38. That's not what I'm trying to say.

  39. Well, that's what I'm trying to ask.

  40. Oh no, no, he wouldn't do it because of their unbelief.

  41. Does that make better sense?

  42. Oh, he wouldn't do it because of it? And what

  43. was the cure for this unbelief? Faith?

  44. I mean, they needed to know, know that you believed

  45. that he was the Messiah.

  46. Well, that's that's that's actually one of the best answers

  47. I've ever got. Even though I don't think you realize

  48. what you said, You're right, they needed to know. How

  49. is it that you can know something.

  50. When you when you study the word and you know

  51. what it says, we'll put it, you write it on

  52. your heart, and you know it, you know that it's true.

  53. Well, let's talk about what Jesus actually did. Okay, because

  54. I already I already read it to you. It was

  55. a first verse I read. I already read it to you.

  56. This is how Jesus cured their unbelief. Okay, listen, It

  57. comes right out and tells you, and he marveled because

  58. of their unbelief. By the way, that's a very strange

  59. word in Greek. It's the same word you use for apostasy.

  60. It says, and he marveled because of their unbelief. Then

  61. he went about the villages in a circuit teaching. Didascal Yeah,

  62. everybody's been running around for for for their whole life

  63. for decades, when the answer was right here in front

  64. of the whole the whole time. The cure for unbeliefs

  65. is to teach. I mean, that's what it said, he did, right,

  66. And I appreciate the Greek here that uses this cool

  67. word here in English circuit, that is to say, he

  68. did so systematically. He systematically taught them. So all right,

  69. we can all go home. Right, we were done, right.

  70. I mean, I've already told you what this unbelief is.

  71. But take note, the root word here is histica. This

  72. word here is uh. It's because it has a prefix alpha,

  73. which is a negative particle. So take note, faith and

  74. belief is the same thing, the same exact word in Greek,

  75. same word repeatedly here in a scripture. Take note Luke

  76. chapter seventeen, verse five, and the apostles said to the Lord,

  77. increase our faith. What is that? It's that root word

  78. there Here's the Greek is histicis. So it doesn't have

  79. that negative article because if you put that that a

  80. on in front of it, to put that prefix on it,

  81. it becomes unbelief. So faith and belief is the same thing,

  82. not knowing and unfaith or lack of faith. It's the

  83. same thing, the same thing in Greek, it's the same thing.

  84. So that makes for a really short Bible study, right

  85. when you realize that faith and belief is the same, exact, same,

  86. exact thing. Unbelief is apostasy. That's what that is. That's

  87. where apostasy comes from. Is this word with the negative

  88. prefix on it alpha what it is? So this has

  89. all to do with knowing. You thought it had more

  90. to do with faith. No, it's knowing. It's always been knowing.

  91. That's why for the entire duration of my ministry, which

  92. stretches all the way back to Sunday School, all the

  93. way back to Sunday School. Yes, there were times when

  94. as a teenager, I had to teach the younger classes.

  95. So when I say that, that's really what I've been

  96. This ministry has gone back all the way there to

  97. my teenagers. The first time I preached in a pulpit,

  98. I was sixteen. From that point forward, I had to

  99. preach one Wednesday night per month, so that's a pretty

  100. long time. And that's why the whole time I have

  101. always stated this, I don't believe the Bible. You can

  102. I don't believe it, I know it. There's a whopping

  103. big difference between just whimsiculdly believing something and knowing it

  104. the big difference. But most people can't make that connection

  105. because the church at large won't touch this with a

  106. ten foot pole. They will most assuredly indoctrinate you as

  107. to how they've segregated you from the body of Christ.

  108. Now that they'll do do their utmost. For instance, how

  109. many churches, now by churches, I mean different denominations, okay,

  110. how many different denominations have a catechism or they have

  111. a confirm classes? What do they actually do in those

  112. confirmation classes? If you're going to a particular church that

  113. has a name out front, they indoctrinate you as to

  114. how they've segregated you from all the other denominations. That's

  115. what they do, literally, professionally, that's what they do. It

  116. is the sole purpose of the district level mechanation that

  117. runs your denomination. That's the purpose that they serve. That's

  118. why one of the best churches you can go to

  119. is a church that is a congregational church. What does

  120. congregational mean? Many people that have gone to Baptist churches

  121. know exactly what I'm talking about. They don't have no district.

  122. The church governs itself, Every congregation governs itself. Because of course,

  123. they quickly figured out that dis seminaries have been overran

  124. by atheists. I have met them at nauseum. When I

  125. mean at nauseum, that's exactly what I mean. At nauseum.

  126. People and pastorates, people that hold bishop positions. Oh yes, atheists,

  127. full blown atheists, but they have their credentials in that

  128. denomination and they're running your church. Oh yes, they are.

  129. So that's why this is going on. That's why you

  130. don't know this. That's why this, this mystical element has

  131. been attached to the word faith. Not in Greek, it's belief,

  132. it's belief. I mean, let me ask any of you

  133. this very simple question. Is the sun hot that you know?

  134. You know that the sun is hot. It will burn

  135. you and it will blind you if you focus on it.

  136. I mean, most of you know that fire is hot.

  137. You know so instinctively, instinctively you will instinct you don't

  138. even have to think about pulling your hand away from

  139. something that's hot. You don't have to think about it

  140. it's a reflex. It's a reflex. When you pick up

  141. a dictionary, you read it a different way, don't you, Yes,

  142. you do. You read it a different way. Everyone that

  143. I've ever met got into a classroom, have them take

  144. out a dictionary, open it to any entry, and start

  145. reading it. They would read it a different way than

  146. they would read Matthew chapter thirteen. Oh yes they would.

  147. I mean, it amazes me how people think that the

  148. authority is the encyclopedia. They actually think that the authority

  149. of the encyclopedia supersedes the Word of God. Right here,

  150. I've got the complete encycled Encyclopedia Britannica, complete set, all

  151. the macropedia included. This one is Micropedia number two. I'm

  152. just going to open it up anywhere. Let's read this. Okay,

  153. bulb rot widespread disease infecting all flour and crop bulbs,

  154. caused by a variety of fungi and new bacteria. Let

  155. riddle me this, Riddle me this. You take that as

  156. the gospel truth? Don't you? Just because I read it

  157. in Encyclopedia Britannica, number two, page six sixteen, Just because

  158. I read it out of there, you you believe this

  159. more than Matthew Chapter fifteen. Don't lie? Yes you do,

  160. Yes you do? Why Why is that? Why is that?

  161. Why is it that I have to explain to you

  162. what a very simple versees, And when I've read it,

  163. you can't get no more simpler than what I read.

  164. You just quite simply can't get any simpler than that.

  165. You really can't. Mark Chapter six, verse six, And he

  166. marveled because of their unbelief. Then he went out about

  167. the village in a circuit eaching. But yet I read it,

  168. and it blew right passed you. But when I picked

  169. up the Encyclopedia Britannicut and started reading to you the

  170. entry on bulb rot, you digested it. You absorbed it,

  171. didn't you? Why is that? Why did you absorb some

  172. stupid article about bulb rock in plants? And I'm marvel

  173. after Tammy. She actually got it first, when I ever

  174. asked this question to and she said she actually used

  175. the word no, She used the word to know. I

  176. marvel after that. So there's nothing mystical about this word faith.

  177. In Greek, it means to know. And the cure for

  178. this is teaching the dustcal and Greek to teach. It's

  179. that simple. I mean, we can go through all these

  180. chapters that I've got here. I've got Luke seventeen up,

  181. Matthew seventeen, Mark nine. We can go through all these

  182. and pick them apart. But before I read it, are

  183. you going to believe it? Or will you reject it

  184. out right? Because somebody has taught you to do so?

  185. Because all those people that's taught you to do so,

  186. they are rejectionist. Do you know what a rejectionist is?

  187. You don't even know, do you. I'll tell you what

  188. a rejectionist is. Percent of all churches are rejectionists. Will

  189. teach you that what they say supersedes what God's word says.

  190. The rejectionist they won't come out and tell you that

  191. because they speak in the tongue of their father. They lie.

  192. You need to know that, just like I mean, I

  193. don't want to pick on any particular church, but we

  194. will use, for instance, the Catholic Church. The Catholic Church

  195. is the most open about it. They will openly say that, no,

  196. the clergy is the final authority because it was the

  197. clergy that gave you the Bible. Yes, it is what

  198. they say. I mean, how many of you have taught

  199. the Bible saying something. So you go and ask your pastor, hey,

  200. why aren't we doing this? Or why do we do it?

  201. When the New Testament illicitly says you can't, why do

  202. we do it? And he will tell you that his bylaws,

  203. in his discipline, by which he has a contract for

  204. that is what you abide by. You do not abide

  205. by the Bible, God's holy word because he's a rejectionist.

  206. The rejectionist and they have systematically taught you subconsciously using

  207. dogma to reject God's word. I'm here to tell you

  208. everything I know the Bible told me. First. For instance,

  209. I might rather your cage a little bit. I have

  210. the wherewithal to understand this. Once I got into an

  211. institution of higher learning and really started studying astrophysics. I

  212. come to this astonishing conclusion that Daniel after seven may

  213. very well be God encoding to you that you're going

  214. to go through planetary migration. And this is why the

  215. Book of Revelation states that seventh seal is silence in

  216. heaven for a half an hour. How much is a

  217. half hour in heaven? Do you know? Because I do,

  218. you need to understand something. Now, do you go to

  219. any astronomical almanac and look, you'll see that every star

  220. falls within twenty four hours. There's a reason for that.

  221. When you look into the heavens right and left along

  222. the ecliptic is divided into twenty four Did you know

  223. that eight, for instance, to constellation Ophiucus that lies in

  224. the heavens in the seventeenth hour. Guess what that means?

  225. A half hour is fourteen days long. You could take

  226. that to the bank. Did you know that? Now, I'm

  227. going to tell you this, it's highly probable that you

  228. know that real famous passage. If you've ever studied eschatology,

  229. I'm sure you've heard this in one way, shape or fashion,

  230. that there's coming a time when what is coming upon

  231. the earth will make men's hearts fail them. Now, many

  232. translations say that a different way. Just imagine, if you will,

  233. if you're looking up at Venus and it don't move

  234. over the course of fourteen nights, what would you do?

  235. More importantly, what would your government do? What would your

  236. government do if they couldn't hide the simple fact that, hey,

  237. Jupiter is not going forward, it's not retrograde, it's standing still. Better, yet,

  238. how about your son? What would happen if you had

  239. the wherewithal to quat your horse in the heavens and

  240. be able to understand that, Wait a minute, the sun

  241. hasn't moved. That is to say, we have it moved.

  242. We're spinning, but we're staying in place. Do you even

  243. understand what I'm saying? You don't, do you? What bothers

  244. me is you probably don't care what I just told you.

  245. But yet when I read from the Encyclopedia Britannica, volume two,

  246. page six one six on bulb Rot, you absorb it

  247. as the truth, and your subconscious don't even question it.

  248. Your thought process does not even exist that you would

  249. question what I read. Why is it that those who

  250. hate God now look, they hate his guts? Why is

  251. it you listen to them and you've allowed them to

  252. convince you When I'm going to read to you, it's iffy,

  253. it's IFFI. You don't know if it's true or not.

  254. You don't know which manuscripture, you don't even know which

  255. Greek typeset to use, right.

  256. Right?

  257. You've listened to that garbage for so long that you

  258. question it. Really, I need to tell you something before

  259. you move forward in your thought processes. They also have

  260. you convinced that God is entuned upon his own throne.

  261. But I'm here to tell you you better start swinking

  262. because when he stands up by God, you're going to

  263. think otherwise. So I'm going to read this, and for

  264. once in your life, your teacher is going to say

  265. something clean to you. This is the gospel truth. This

  266. supersedes all available data in the universe. Let me throw

  267. your wild card. Do you know what happened? What would

  268. happen if you stuck a neutron star in water? Do

  269. you know you could put your finger up to it

  270. without getting sucked in? Do you want to know why?

  271. Because buoyancy supersedes gravity. That does How do you think

  272. I know that I'm telling you the truth? Look it up.

  273. Buoyancy superseds gravity. Now, if you were to put a

  274. piece of a neutron star in a flask of water,

  275. you could only put your finger so close to the

  276. neutron star because water is more dense than you are,

  277. So it gets so close that the gravity would be

  278. so great that you couldn't push the water aside. I

  279. got you thinking, no, not? You think that you understand

  280. the mechination behind the flood, And I'm here to tell

  281. you never believed it. Anyway. When was the last time

  282. you heard a preacher preach that the flood actually happened. No,

  283. they'll say that the dinosaurs lived trillions of years ago. Anyway,

  284. what I'm going to read to you is more true

  285. than your life. You are pale in the existence of

  286. what I'm getting ready to read, So you better set

  287. up and pay attention. Gluk seventeen, starting in verse five,

  288. and the apostle said to the Lord, increase our faith.

  289. That's right, same word. You could use belief here, same thing,

  290. same word. But so the Lord said, if you have

  291. faith as a mustard seed, you can say to this

  292. mulberry tree, be pulled up by the roots and be

  293. platted in the sea, and it will obey you. And

  294. which of you, having a servant plowing or tending sheep,

  295. will say to him, when he has come in from

  296. the field, come at once and sit down to eat.

  297. What will he not rather say to him, prepare something

  298. for my supper, and gird yourself and serve me till

  299. I have eaten and drank. And afterward you will eat

  300. and drink because he thinked that servant, because he did

  301. the things that were not commanded of him. I think not.

  302. So likewise, you, when you have done all those things

  303. which you are commanded, say, we are unprofitable servants. We

  304. have done what was our duty? Tonne, do you understand

  305. what he said? Are you? You're confused? Aren't you? It

  306. is your natural state for your psyche to be confused

  307. when you read God's word. He was very clear. Now,

  308. was this diatribe attached to this belief or faith? Whichever one?

  309. You really don't know, do you. It's your duty to believe.

  310. I mean, I know that all of you know this.

  311. I don't think you know. I know you know that

  312. the devil himself believes right, the demons believe right. That's

  313. where you're at. That's where you're at. You know. Maybe

  314. I should read this last verse again so that you

  315. understand what he said. So likewise, you, when you you

  316. have done all those things which you are commanded, say,

  317. we are unprefitable servants. We have done what was our

  318. duty to do. And that's all you did. That's all

  319. you did. You didn't do anymore. It's a pretty good riddle,

  320. isn't it It is a good riddle. I myself think

  321. it's one well worth pondering. Let's move on, Let's go

  322. to another seventeen. Let's go to Matthew chapter seventeen, starting

  323. in verse fourteen. And when they had come to the multitude,

  324. a man came to him, kneeling down to him and saying, Lord,

  325. have mercy on my son, for he is an epileptic

  326. and suffer severely, for he often falls into the fire

  327. and often into the water. So I brought him to

  328. your desti disciples, but they could not cure him. Then

  329. Jesus answered and said, oh, faithless and perverse generation, how

  330. long shall I be with you? How long shall I

  331. bear with you? Bring him here to me. Then Jesus

  332. rebuked the demon, and it came out of him, and

  333. the child was cured from that very hour. Then the

  334. disciples came to Jesus privately and said, why could we

  335. not trust it out? So Jesus said to them, because

  336. of your unbelief. That is that word with the prefixed alfa.

  337. It's where you get apausta. See For assuredly I say

  338. to you, if you have faith as a mother that's

  339. the word without the prefix alpha, you will say to

  340. this mountain, move from here to there, and it will

  341. move and nothing will be impossible for you. However, this

  342. kind does not go out except by prayer and FASTI

  343. he three you curveball, didn't he wouldn't it be nice

  344. to just eject that last verse? He did something? What

  345. did I call it a curveball? Because now, okay, listen

  346. very carefully. He stated that if you have the belief,

  347. anything that you command will be done for you. Remember now,

  348. belief is to know. Well, guess what if you come

  349. upon a demon that will not answer to you, guess

  350. what he gave you? Knowledge? He gave you. Now listen.

  351. It's the same Greek word faith and know. In these

  352. verses it's the same word. So now you know. Now

  353. you have faith? What to do? You know that this

  354. one can only come out by prayer and fasting. That's

  355. why I told you what to do. Now you have

  356. the faith to do it, because you know what to do.

  357. I confused, you didn't I because it's the same word

  358. in Greek. It's the same word. If you were to

  359. remove verse twenty one, this would not be God's word.

  360. He would have left them unknowing ladies and gentlemen, the disciples,

  361. asking directly, why wouldn't this one obeys and come out,

  362. we do have the faith? He gave them faith by

  363. saying this kind can come only out by pray, infesting.

  364. It was right there in front of you all the time.

  365. You just couldn't see it. Why why these things aren't difficult.

  366. It's just that until now you never had to where

  367. withal to look at these Greek words. He should have

  368. just looked at him and figured out that, Wait a minute,

  369. faith and know or faith and believe is the same word.

  370. It's the same thing. This is why apostacea is the

  371. opposite of both those things. Apastacia is to not know.

  372. It's to have unbelief, it's to be unfaithful. It's the same.

  373. You can use either definition. It's either unbelief, okay, or

  374. not having any faith. It's the same word that kind

  375. of stumps people in the classroom. But it's true when

  376. I have challenged people, and I mean in an institution

  377. of higher learning, I pointed this particular thing out to

  378. a very famous author. He happened to be my professor.

  379. He was stumped. He didn't he couldn't compute. They couldn't

  380. compute it. He couldn't calpulate it. The whole reason for

  381. verse twenty one is he was expl now they had faith, No,

  382. they didn't have faith. You mean they believed what he said.

  383. It's the same word in Greek. It's the same word.

  384. Look it up, write it down, write it down on

  385. an index card, write it somewhere. But believe it, because

  386. if you believe it, you have faith. If you believe it, yes, faith,

  387. you know it. You know it. Mark chapter nine, starting

  388. in verse fourteen. And when he came to the disciples,

  389. he saw a great multitude around them and scribes disputing

  390. with them. Immediately when they saw him, all the people

  391. were greatly amazed and running to him, greeted him, and

  392. he asked the stripes, what are you discussing with them?

  393. Then one of the crowd answered and said, Pecher, I

  394. brought you my son, who has a mute spirit, and

  395. wherever it seizes him, it throws him down. He phones

  396. at the mouth, gnashes at the teeth, and becomes rigid.

  397. So I spoke to your disciples that they could not

  398. cast it out. But they could not. He answered, instead

  399. of them, oh faithless generation, uh, oh, yes, which word

  400. that is? In Greek, Oh, faithless generation, how long shall

  401. I be with you? How long shall I bear? You

  402. bring him to me. Then they brought him to him.

  403. When he saw him, immediately the spirit convulsed, and he

  404. fell on the ground and wallowed, foaming at the mouth.

  405. So he asked his father how long this been happening

  406. to him? And he said from childhood, and often he

  407. was thrown him both into the fire and into water

  408. to destroy him. But if you can do anything, have

  409. compassion on us and help us. Jesus said to him,

  410. if you can believe, all things are possible to him

  411. who believes. This is the same word in Greek. You

  412. could interchangeably in Greek to perceive this translation, and just

  413. put faith. Faith is belief. Immediately, the father of the

  414. child cried out and said, with years old Lord, I believe,

  415. help my unbelief. Here it is again the first instance.

  416. It's the word, the second instance, the unbelief. It's good

  417. word with just a prefixed alpha, a negative particle. Write

  418. that down. When Jesus saw the people come running together,

  419. he rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to it, deaf and

  420. dumb spirit, I command you come out of him and

  421. enter him. No more. Then the spirit cried out, convulsed

  422. him greatly, and came out of him, and he became

  423. as one dead, so that many said he is dead.

  424. But Jesus took him by the hand and lifted him up,

  425. and he arose. And when he came into the house,

  426. the disciples ask him privately, why could we not cast

  427. it out? Okay, look, this word in Greek is the

  428. same word for belief and faith. So he gives them

  429. the information. You in your mind, you want him to say.

  430. Once he's it says what he's getting ready to say,

  431. they'll know. That's correct. They will know because know and

  432. belief in the Greek is the same word. I'm not

  433. lying to you. Just take the time to look at it.

  434. Just look at it. This is his reply. So he

  435. said to them, this kind can come out nothing but

  436. prayer and festing. He gives them the information. Once they

  437. have the info, they have the belief. Now they believe

  438. what it takes to cast out a spirit that is

  439. deaf and mute, because you can't command it. How could

  440. you command a mute spirit? It can't hear you, damn it,

  441. they can't hear you. So very simple Bible study, very

  442. simple Bible study. Basically, we used one word tonight. One

  443. word means belief and faith, same word in Greek. If

  444. you put a prefixed alpha on it, it becomes unbelief

  445. or unfaithful because it's the same word in Greek. Now,

  446. this is a pretty easy Bible study. I mean, I

  447. would say that of all the Bible studies you can do,

  448. this is the easiest one because it doesn't take rocket scientists.

  449. It really doesn't. You don't have to have any degree,

  450. not just a rocket scientist degree. You don't have to

  451. have any degree. This is this is a basic Bible

  452. study because I really only taught you one word in Greek,

  453. and I taught you that if you add a prefix

  454. alpha to it, it becomes a negative, negative connotation because

  455. it's a negative particle. It's a negative prefix. I mean,

  456. right now, my wife has a pretty little, fancy little

  457. thing that's painted here on the wall. It's just faith.

  458. But she has one cross dangling from it and one star.

  459. I don't know why one represents no in English and

  460. one represents faith, or you could say belief. One represents belief,

  461. the other faith same word. And the Lord Jesus Christ

  462. completely told you the cure for unbelief. Yes, he did

  463. Mark chapter six, verse six, and he marveled because of

  464. their unbelief. Then he went out about the villages in

  465. a circuit, teaching that was a cure for their unbelief

  466. or unfaith non faithfulness, however you want to say it.

  467. You have to teach them, you show them God's wonders.

  468. I mean this Bible study and its simplicity. Even though

  469. he covered many chapters, the information was quite systematic in

  470. its delivery, systematic. God was not babbling. He's being very direct.

  471. He was relaying simplistic things because his disciples and the

  472. poor parent of this child, very simple information. Okay, anybody

  473. got questions or comments, or would like to yell at

  474. me and call me an idiot, any of the above. Anybody,

  475. let's talk to Darling. DARLINGE are you available?

  476. Just on the head and mirror? Okay, I'm here.

  477. So what did you think of the scripture verses we

  478. were talking about.

  479. I think they're they're very good. I always, for some reason,

  480. probably because I didn't take it apart like you do

  481. and study it. I always thought he couldn't help because

  482. of their unbelief stopped him because they were doubting that

  483. their unbelief was not more powerful than him. But you

  484. know how sometimes you tell someone's scripture and you can

  485. kind of get irritated in your spirit because in there,

  486. well then ring in, they're hitting you with something else

  487. that's so negative, and it's like an irritant. But you're

  488. trying not to show you they're irritating you because of

  489. their unbelief? Is what's coming back at you?

  490. Well, darlinge the verse before it gives you the cure

  491. for that too. Here, let me read it for you.

  492. I had a feeling you were going to say that, gentlemen,

  493. what happens to you if you encounter somebody that don't

  494. believe or they don't have faith? Because remember that's the

  495. same thing. What do you do?

  496. Well, that's not off.

  497. Mark mark verse five. Now he could do no mighty

  498. work there except accept that he laid his hands on

  499. a few sick people and heal them. So what you

  500. do to cure somebody's lack of faith or lack of

  501. belief is you lay your hands on them.

  502. Does that mean we can punch them? No, I'm playing.

  503. I went, well, well, some people are thick headed enough

  504. that that might actually work.

  505. For them.

  506. It was always here. And let's just say this, ladies

  507. and gentlemen, when's the last time you saw somebody get

  508. sick in the church? Now? I haven't seen this in decades.

  509. When's the last time you saw a pastor call this

  510. to attention? Bring the person up front? And they'll always

  511. at least call the board members or what they call

  512. the elders. A lot of churches say different things, but

  513. they will get out oil and anoint the person and

  514. pray for them. What's the last time you saw that happen?

  515. Who was that?

  516. Was that? Emmy? I thought I heard somebody say something.

  517. I didn't hear anything.

  518. I did. But when's the last time you saw that? Darling?

  519. It's been a while. I know. One of the elders

  520. where I go taught about it, calling the elders, that

  521. the elders come up. He was actually teaching on the

  522. church's responsibility and how women are not called to be

  523. upfront being the preacher because it's the elder is the leader.

  524. With the elder are supposed to be the husband of

  525. one wife that would make them a male. And he

  526. was teaching about the elders and the ones that annoyed

  527. the people, and then he explained he wouldn't put his

  528. wife up front. He said, why would I put my

  529. wife up here? So people? Good attacker, you know, because

  530. I guess believers are can be aggravating sometimes, he said,

  531. you sometimes you want to walk whop a mall or

  532. whatever that game is where you wop the mole on

  533. the head.

  534. Mm hmm. Yeah. But this is this was the justification

  535. for the Lutheran Church, the lesbians taking it over us,

  536. because only the male counterpart of a lesbian relationship can

  537. be a pastor in their eyes. Oh, brother, so you've

  538. never been to any and listen, You've never to listen

  539. to any of their synods. It's purely Antichrist, purely, purely Antichrist. Yeah. Anyway,

  540. I'm not trying to pay on the Lutherans, but think

  541. about this, ladies and gentlemen, when's the last time you've

  542. seen this done? Or most of you if you will. Man,

  543. I don't want to pick on the Lutherans, but let's

  544. say Catholics, Hey, how many Catholics have you ever seen

  545. this done? Have you ever seen the New Testament mandate

  546. or it says bring such a one up and annoint

  547. them and YadA, YadA, can lay your hands on them.

  548. Have you ever seen that? Why not? Why not? I'll

  549. tell you what, because your clergy is rejectionist. And if

  550. they're rejectionist, what they're all their actions are relating to

  551. you is that they have the authority of God, not

  552. his word. That's what they're doing. That's what they're subliminally

  553. relating to you, that are the supreme authority. So but

  554. very it's amazing. When I've said this in a classroom

  555. setting and related this way, it insulted a lot of

  556. people's intelligence. They got very they got very upset with it.

  557. I mean they got really upset when they because you know,

  558. when you're with me in a classroom, I'll put this

  559. up on the screen, I'll put the Greek up and

  560. I'll showed you. And when people realize, well, you mean

  561. that really is what?

  562. Well?

  563. Yeah, yeah, they start getting upset. After pastor or their

  564. Sunday school teachers, they get mad. Why have I never

  565. heard this before? I mean, Darlene, when's the last time

  566. you heard this? Did you know that belief and faith

  567. was the same thing?

  568. No?

  569. Why not? I mean you have to admit, darling, this

  570. was a very simple Bible study, right, yes, and I

  571. read to you multiple chapters that interchangeably used faith and belief.

  572. I mean they were interchangeable. So why on earth would

  573. the clergy not want you to know this, darling.

  574. I have no idea, I'm Matthew. They just because they

  575. don't believe it.

  576. I guess they don't want you to believe it. They

  577. don't want you to know it. Same thing, they don't

  578. want you to have the information. It's that simple. Tell

  579. me what say you?

  580. I see you will know the truth, and the truth

  581. will set you free.

  582. Do you know? That's why he said that. Let that

  583. sink in. I mean say that one time, real slow,

  584. you will.

  585. Know the truth and the truth will set you free.

  586. So I would strongly suggest everybody get themselves a concordance

  587. and start going to town. Get you pick a translation,

  588. any translation, just not a paraphilt phrase, so not an NIV.

  589. An n IV is not a translation. But pick any

  590. translation and get you a strongu concordance and start getting

  591. to know it. Because well, what I know this is

  592. going to shock you. It's just a very elementary phrase

  593. from the Bible. I mean it's literally a memory verse

  594. for little children in an elementary school. It really is.

  595. That's a memory verse for elementary school children. Believe it

  596. or not, it's true. Believe it or not, it's true.

  597. The truth will set you free from unbelief. They don't

  598. want you to believe it. They don't want you to

  599. believe it. They want you to accept their authority, not

  600. God's word, their rejectionist. But I'm glad we went over

  601. some good things tonight. You can all now you know

  602. a surprise question you can ask your pastor are we

  603. a congregational church? Another way to say is to walk

  604. up and say, so, who's over our church? Who's over

  605. our church in the state. Let's say, let's say I

  606. go to uh an evangelical free church. I'd walk up

  607. to my pastor and say, you know, where's our district

  608. office at? If the pastor says we don't have one,

  609. that means you're a congregational church. That's what it means. Now. Unfortunately,

  610. I use the example of a Baptist. I mean, I'm

  611. not I'm not trying to rail on Baptist either, but

  612. many Baptists, of course they One good way to figure

  613. it out is many of them will preach KJV only anyway.

  614. They are Congregationalists. They don't have an authority in some

  615. other place. They don't have a bishop and a YadA,

  616. YadA YadA, whatever they call them. So you need to

  617. know that you don't have any excuses. You don't have

  618. any not any You can get the Greek, the Hebrew,

  619. Eat the Strongs everywhere for free. It's all over the internet.

  620. You can go to the library and get it for free.

  621. Check it out, look at it, whatever you want to do.

  622. You have no excuses. If you don't have any faith,

  623. it's because you don't know, because you don't want to know.

  624. You don't want to know, you don't care to know.

  625. For some reason, you accept the Encyclopedia Britannica as the

  626. gospel truth. I'm here to tell you it ain't. This

  627. is literally trash. There's only one thing standing between you

  628. and econoity. It is in this physical realm the Bible,

  629. God's holy Word, and I'm here to tell you it

  630. does not take a rocket scientist to read it. Today

  631. we covered basically one verse or one word in Greek,

  632. and that one word with a prefix alpha on it.

  633. That's all we did. This ministry uses the New King

  634. James version. If you get a new King James version,

  635. you can take a pencil and mark out a single

  636. verse and actually have a copy of the Adidal Regia.

  637. What is that? Well, let's just cut to the chase.

  638. It's where you get your chapters and verses from. That's

  639. how you know it's God ordained. That's how you know

  640. because not the Baptist not the Presbyterians, Lattie dot, the

  641. entire Church of the Lord Jesus Christ accepted those chapters

  642. and verses wholeheartedly, everybody on the planet. That's how you

  643. know it's the right one. Anyway, let's throw a curveball. So, Tammy,

  644. if you get you a new King James version, which

  645. verse and the New Testament do you need to take

  646. a pencil and mark out? Because that's the only verse

  647. in the New Testament that they incorrectly inserted it because

  648. Stefano's put it in the notes. Do you know which

  649. one it is?

  650. I know we went over this, but I forgot.

  651. Wow, who knows, Sherry? Do you know? Does anybody know?

  652. Somebody better know? Denny Sureley?

  653. You know, Oh man, I'm gonna get the woodshed.

  654. We're all staying the woodshed here.

  655. You really don't know.

  656. I haven't written, they don't have it handy, so I

  657. don't know off the top of my head.

  658. Really well, I guess that's everybody's homework for next time,

  659. because yeah, you're on in the woodshed. I don't have

  660. to tell you nothing. I'm not required to tell you anything.

  661. And when I tell you something, you probably need to

  662. know it because I'm telling you because you need to

  663. tell the next person. That's why this ministry when the

  664. opportunity arises, we have new King James version Bibles. So

  665. if you have one to hand out, like we do,

  666. you need to know. Hey, by the way, this verse

  667. shouldn't be there, because it's not in the idital Regia manuscript.

  668. That manuscript is a real cool name for you get

  669. the chapter in verses. Stefanos did it in fifteen fifty

  670. and it's the Gospel truth. So everybody needs to look

  671. that up. Does anybody even know what bookets in? Me?

  672. Do you know what book it's in?

  673. I am not remembering.

  674. I have I've said here.

  675. I know it's in the footnotes somewhere of the of

  676. this Bible I'm looking at, but because it says that

  677. it was added somewhere, but I find it.

  678. But find it all right, let's it's it's the top

  679. of the hour. So I need to make sure that

  680. nobody has any questions or anything they need to talk

  681. about before we leave. So does anybody have any questions

  682. or comment, answer anything you want to talk about before

  683. we get off here? Sherry's been offul quiet. We probably

  684. need to.

  685. Pray for Cherry.

  686. Yeah, yeah, yeah, we need to pray for Sharry. Certainly

  687. need to pray for Sarry.

  688. And well, we need to pray that everybody remembers about

  689. that simple English word faith, because it means belief.

  690. Very simple. It's actually quite elementary. So Tammy, can you

  691. pray us out of here? Please?

  692. Yes, Father God, thank you for.

  693. Teaching us your word, that we increase our faith, that

  694. we increase our knowledge that we know you and that

  695. we know your son Jesus Christ. And I thank you

  696. for having Sherry home now and healing her from this

  697. pneumonia that she's had. Father, I pray for you to

  698. touch her and continue to lift her up to you,

  699. that you clear her lungs of any trace of these bacteria, ammonia,

  700. whatever is making her so sick. Father, and I pray

  701. for our families. I just lift up the widows and

  702. the orphans to you, and the people that are still

  703. still living in tents in this cold weather from these hurricanes. Lord,

  704. I just want you to remember them. I ask you

  705. to keep them and feed them and bless them. Father,

  706. And I thank you for all those faithful people who

  707. have gone to help them and to bring supplies food

  708. and water and shelter and clothing the night. All their

  709. needs are being met Father, through you, for through your

  710. your servants who are faithful.

  711. And I thank you for that. And I thank you for.

  712. All these miracles that are happening all over the place.

  713. And I pray for the people that are in these wars,

  714. the children especially, Father, protect them and keep them in

  715. your care.

  716. In Jesus' name, I'm.

  717. In man in a animal. Until next time, ladies and gentlemen,

  718. God bless God speed.
