WEBVTT 00:00:00.240 --> 00:00:02.960 It is the 10th of July 2026. 00:00:02.960 --> 00:00:04.080 I am Corey J. 00:00:04.080 --> 00:00:06.480 Mahler, and this is at any cost. 00:00:06.480 --> 00:00:10.960 This is episode 35, a QA episode. 00:00:10.960 --> 00:00:14.400 I don't really have any housekeeping, so I'll just get straight into 00:00:14.400 --> 00:00:17.840 the questions, except I will briefly mention for any eagle eyed viewers 00:00:17.840 --> 00:00:21.120 who notice I have a red line across I was wearing a 00:00:21.120 --> 00:00:25.520 hat working in the garden, so just to head off any potential 00:00:25.520 --> 00:00:27.120 questions about that. 00:00:27.120 --> 00:00:30.080 It's very warm here during the day right now and I am 00:00:30.080 --> 00:00:34.160 mostly bald, so hats are a must. 00:00:34.160 --> 00:00:37.600 Let's see, question one is is 00:00:40.080 --> 00:00:43.440 from the forum and then I'll go to questions from the chat 00:00:43.440 --> 00:00:47.360 or wherever else, maybe get into some of the backlog. 00:00:47.360 --> 00:00:49.520 The angel of the lord in numbers. 00:00:49.520 --> 00:00:53.520 Is the angel of the lord who appears before Balaam to slay 00:00:53.520 --> 00:00:56.320 him with the sword on the way to Moab Jesus? 00:00:56.320 --> 00:01:01.120 And so this has come up a number of times this topic. 00:01:01.120 --> 00:01:04.720 But the angel of the Lord sometimes in the Old Testament is 00:01:04.720 --> 00:01:08.480 Christ. Sometimes it may not be Christ, it may just be an 00:01:08.480 --> 00:01:12.480 angel. And basically how you can tell the difference is if a 00:01:12.480 --> 00:01:16.320 human being interacts with the angel of the Lord in a worshipful 00:01:16.320 --> 00:01:19.120 way by worshiping the angel of the Lord, or the angel of 00:01:19.120 --> 00:01:19.200 the 00:01:20.240 --> 00:01:23.040 If he is God, those are the two ways you can pretty 00:01:23.040 --> 00:01:24.800 much tell it's Jesus. 00:01:24.800 --> 00:01:27.280 And I already know the answer to this one because I know 00:01:27.280 --> 00:01:30.080 the passage well, but I'll pull it up in numbers and read 00:01:30.080 --> 00:01:34.240 it just because it's good to actually read the text. 00:01:34.240 --> 00:01:38.160 So let me pull up. 00:01:38.160 --> 00:01:42.720 And that of course numbers 22. 00:01:42.720 --> 00:01:45.360 I think the nets will be fine for this. 00:01:50.960 --> 00:01:54.400 So let us start with let's see 00:01:58.720 --> 00:02:02.400 What verse? 00:02:02.400 --> 00:02:05.040 We'll start with verse twenty two. 00:02:05.040 --> 00:02:08.080 And God was angry with wrath because he went, and the angel 00:02:08.080 --> 00:02:10.640 of the Lord rose up to a to oppose him, and he 00:02:10.640 --> 00:02:13.920 himself was sitting on his donkey, and his two servants were with 00:02:13.920 --> 00:02:17.440 him. And when the donkey saw the angel of God standing opposed 00:02:17.440 --> 00:02:21.760 in the road, and the sword drawn, Then the donkey turned away 00:02:21.760 --> 00:02:24.960 from the road and kept going into the plain, and he struck 00:02:24.960 --> 00:02:27.760 the donkey with his rod to direct it in the road. 00:02:27.760 --> 00:02:30.880 And the angel of God stood in the furrows of the vineyards, 00:02:30.880 --> 00:02:32.960 a fence here and a fence there. 00:02:32.960 --> 00:02:35.760 And when the angel saw the and when the donkey saw the 00:02:35.760 --> 00:02:40.240 angel of God, it pressed itself against the wall and squeezed Bayland 00:02:40.720 --> 00:02:42.080 to whip it again. 00:02:42.320 --> 00:02:45.280 the angel of God proceeded and went on and stood still in 00:02:45.280 --> 00:02:48.640 a narrow place, in which it was not possible to turn right 00:02:48.640 --> 00:02:49.520 or left. 00:02:49.520 --> 00:02:53.040 And when the donkey saw the angel of God, it settled down 00:02:53.040 --> 00:02:56.720 under Balaam, and Balaam was angered and kept beating the donkey with 00:02:56.720 --> 00:02:57.600 the rod. 00:02:57.600 --> 00:03:01.200 And God opened the mouth of the donkey and said to Balaam, 00:03:01.360 --> 00:03:03.920 What have I done to you that you have struck me this 00:03:03.920 --> 00:03:04.880 third time? 00:03:04.880 --> 00:03:08.480 And Balam said to the donkey, Because you have mocked me, and 00:03:08.480 --> 00:03:11.200 if I had a dagger in my hand, I would already have 00:03:11.200 --> 00:03:12.160 stabbed you. 00:03:12.160 --> 00:03:16.000 And the donkey said to Balam, Am I not your donkey, on 00:03:16.000 --> 00:03:19.280 which you would ride from your youth to this very day? 00:03:20.080 --> 00:03:22.080 What have I done to you? 00:03:22.080 --> 00:03:24.480 And he said no. 00:03:24.480 --> 00:03:25.280 Now God 00:03:26.480 --> 00:03:29.760 uncovered the eyes of Balaam, and he saw the angel of God 00:03:29.760 --> 00:03:33.040 standing opposed in the road, and a dagger drawn in his hand, 00:03:33.040 --> 00:03:36.080 and he bowed down and did obese to his face. 00:03:36.080 --> 00:03:38.640 And the angel of God said to him, Why have you struck 00:03:38.960 --> 00:03:39.120 your 00:03:40.160 --> 00:03:44.720 time? And behold, I came out to oppose you, because your way 00:03:44.720 --> 00:03:46.880 was not pretty before me. 00:03:46.880 --> 00:03:50.000 And I'll stop there because that gives us our answer, and for 00:03:50.000 --> 00:03:52.640 those who are wondering, the word pretty there, I'll pull it up 00:03:53.440 --> 00:03:57.760 in the Lexum so we can just look at that. 00:03:57.760 --> 00:04:00.160 Let's see. 00:04:00.320 --> 00:04:05.040 Lexum translates it as appropriate, which the word there is indeed a 00:04:05.040 --> 00:04:08.640 styos which can mean pretty or handsome in the Greek, but really 00:04:08.640 --> 00:04:11.920 in this case it's more in the sense of good or right 00:04:11.920 --> 00:04:13.760 or appropriate. 00:04:13.760 --> 00:04:16.880 The Nets just decides to translate it as pretty. 00:04:16.880 --> 00:04:22.000 But the angel of the Lord says that Ba is before him. 00:04:22.000 --> 00:04:24.240 So he's speaking as God. 00:04:24.240 --> 00:04:24.960 This is God. 00:04:24.960 --> 00:04:27.840 This is Christ here in this particular case. 00:04:27.840 --> 00:04:30.720 And that's how you can go through these instances in the Old 00:04:30.720 --> 00:04:35.280 Testament and figure out if it is Christ or just an angel. 00:04:35.280 --> 00:04:39.360 And the reason that you have angel of the L 00:04:40.400 --> 00:04:43.360 is serving as the messenger here of God's message. 00:04:43.600 --> 00:04:46.160 He's God himself, but he's also serving in the role as the 00:04:46.160 --> 00:04:50.080 messenger. And of course the underlying word there for angel is just 00:04:50.240 --> 00:04:54.960 messenger in the Greek, so they made a translation choice, and I 00:04:54.960 --> 00:04:57.760 would say it should be capitalized in the cases where it's very 00:04:57.760 --> 00:05:00.000 obviously Christ. 00:05:00.160 --> 00:05:01.040 Just didn't do that. 00:05:01.040 --> 00:05:03.520 The Nets, like I've said before, is kind of academic. 00:05:03.520 --> 00:05:07.040 They do some things that are a little weird here and there. 00:05:07.040 --> 00:05:12.080 But the brief answer to the question is yes, that's Christ. 00:05:12.080 --> 00:05:15.840 So much for the pacifist Christ that some modern Christians would prefer 00:05:15.920 --> 00:05:19.200 since he's here with a sword in his hand. 00:05:23.440 --> 00:05:28.160 Question two is on the resurrection. 00:05:28.160 --> 00:05:31.040 And I did not have time to go through these before I 00:05:31.040 --> 00:05:34.480 started streaming today, so I'm reading them for the first time along 00:05:34.480 --> 00:05:37.200 with All of you. 00:05:37.200 --> 00:05:39.120 Hello Corey, I am twenty five 00:05:40.240 --> 00:05:41.200 year old man from St. 00:05:41.200 --> 00:05:42.000 Louis, Missouri. 00:05:42.000 --> 00:05:44.560 I recently lost my dog and one of my guinea pigs. 00:05:44.640 --> 00:05:47.200 My mother was told in church long ago when she was a 00:05:47.200 --> 00:05:51.280 child that animals don't go to heaven and that has affected her. 00:05:51.280 --> 00:05:53.920 She's Christian, but I believe others have been told this and are 00:05:53.920 --> 00:05:55.440 wounded spiritually. 00:05:55.440 --> 00:05:57.840 I want to know the church's teaching on heaven and the final 00:05:57.920 --> 00:06:04.000 resurrection. Will everything be restored to life, and human beings are judged. 00:06:04.000 --> 00:06:07.920 Does Christ triumph over death mean that death is destroyed utterly in 00:06:07.920 --> 00:06:10.960 the second coming, and its consequences are undone? 00:06:10.960 --> 00:06:15.920 Does behold I am making everything new according to Revelation, apply to 00:06:15.920 --> 00:06:17.520 everything that has ever existed. 00:06:17.680 --> 00:06:21.280 have read Paul's writings of the resurrection fifteen forty four. 00:06:21.280 --> 00:06:24.400 It is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body. 00:06:24.400 --> 00:06:27.200 If there is a natural body there is also a spiritual body, 00:06:27.200 --> 00:06:29.520 And it would comfort me and millions of believers to know that 00:06:29.520 --> 00:06:32.000 we would see our animals again. 00:06:32.000 --> 00:06:36.320 So scripture does not explicitly state one way or the other. 00:06:36.320 --> 00:06:38.480 I'll go ahead and start there. 00:06:38.640 --> 00:06:38.960 But 00:06:40.000 --> 00:06:44.320 is that scripture does not explicitly Explicitly state, and yet we can 00:06:44.320 --> 00:06:47.040 draw out what we should actually believe about them. 00:06:47.040 --> 00:06:51.120 I do believe that animals will be there in the resurrection, and 00:06:51.120 --> 00:06:52.960 I know there's a little bit of a light on my face, 00:06:52.960 --> 00:06:55.120 the sun came out from behind the clouds. 00:06:55.120 --> 00:06:59.760 And I haven't installed my new blackout curtain yet. 00:07:03.360 --> 00:07:07.040 That which is good cannot be destroyed because Because destroying it is 00:07:07.040 --> 00:07:10.160 evil. And so God does not destroy that which is good. 00:07:10.160 --> 00:07:13.600 Incidentally, this is the reason that hell is eternal. 00:07:13.600 --> 00:07:19.280 Because annihilation can't be true because to destroy a human 00:07:20.240 --> 00:07:24.160 Essence in terms of what he actually is, would be evil because 00:07:24.160 --> 00:07:26.000 that would be destroying something that is good. 00:07:26.000 --> 00:07:29.360 So God cannot destroy something that is good, to speak in human 00:07:29.360 --> 00:07:30.640 terms, of course. 00:07:30.640 --> 00:07:32.960 I think the same thing holds for animals. 00:07:32.960 --> 00:07:34.560 God's creation is good. 00:07:35.040 --> 00:07:38.480 He will restore them to what they should have been, to what 00:07:38.480 --> 00:07:42.400 he intended that won't have the problems they have here in time, 00:07:42.400 --> 00:07:44.000 they won't be mortal. 00:07:44.000 --> 00:07:47.280 All of the various things that plague us here and now. 00:07:47.280 --> 00:07:49.280 I had a dog that died of cancer, one of my golden 00:07:49.360 --> 00:07:52.400 retrievers. I believe that I'll see him again, and he won't get 00:07:52.400 --> 00:07:55.680 cancer again, and he won't die again, because all things will be 00:07:55.680 --> 00:07:56.480 made new. 00:07:56.480 --> 00:07:59.200 And we can also see this in how 00:08:00.640 --> 00:08:03.680 speaks about the resurrection, the restoration of all things. 00:08:03.680 --> 00:08:09.120 First it's the restoration of all things, which certainly includes animals, plants, 00:08:09.120 --> 00:08:11.280 everything else in God's creation. 00:08:11.280 --> 00:08:15.600 And you see in many places in the old testament and elsewhere, 00:08:15.600 --> 00:08:22.640 creation itself is spoken of as groaning, desiring, or celebrating 00:08:22.640 --> 00:08:26.720 the restoration of all things and God making all things new, making 00:08:26.720 --> 00:08:28.240 things good again. 00:08:28.240 --> 00:08:32.240 There are times where you'll see individuals in the Old Testament saying, 00:08:32.240 --> 00:08:35.680 This rock is going to testify against you because it has hurt 00:08:35.680 --> 00:08:38.480 everything you swore you would do for God and then you didn't. 00:08:38.480 --> 00:08:41.760 You can think of Joshua the end of the book of Joshua 00:08:41.920 --> 00:08:43.120 doing that. 00:08:43.440 --> 00:08:46.880 So all of creation will be renewed, and I think that does 00:08:46.880 --> 00:08:47.920 include our animals. 00:08:47.920 --> 00:08:49.120 I firm Firmly believe that. 00:08:49.120 --> 00:08:52.000 Like I said, it's not explicitly stated in Scripture, but I believe 00:08:52.000 --> 00:08:55.920 that we can draw that out from what Scripture actually does say. 00:08:55.920 --> 00:08:56.240 And 00:08:57.360 --> 00:08:59.280 I think that ultimately those who 00:09:00.480 --> 00:09:05.440 are Gnostic in their beliefs, they don't really believe in paradise. 00:09:05.440 --> 00:09:08.880 They believe that we're going to spend eternity in heaven, some spiritual 00:09:08.880 --> 00:09:11.840 realm with God, and that's not what we're made to do, because 00:09:11.840 --> 00:09:14.880 we are not just a soul. 00:09:14.880 --> 00:09:18.400 We are body and soul and also mind, not to get into 00:09:18.400 --> 00:09:21.200 that topic right now. 00:09:21.200 --> 00:09:27.200 Our final destination, our eternity is spent in the new creation, and 00:09:27.200 --> 00:09:30.880 that will be a renewed version of this creation. 00:09:30.880 --> 00:09:35.440 Because this creation still is a shadow of what God wanted it 00:09:35.440 --> 00:09:36.080 to be. 00:09:36.080 --> 00:09:40.240 It's not something totally alien alien, something totally different. 00:09:40.240 --> 00:09:44.560 So we will have a perfected creation in which we will spend 00:09:44.560 --> 00:09:48.880 eternity. And certainly that includes animals and plants and everything, since God 00:09:48.880 --> 00:09:52.000 made those they're good and he wants them to exist. 00:09:52.000 --> 00:09:54.320 So yes, I do believe that we'll get to see our dogs 00:09:54.320 --> 00:09:59.040 again. Without all the the problems that some of them have. 00:09:59.040 --> 00:09:59.280 I've 00:10:00.480 --> 00:10:03.200 so other than the one that got cancer and the fact that 00:10:03.200 --> 00:10:06.800 they're all mortal, they haven't really had or caused any problems. 00:10:08.720 --> 00:10:13.040 Other than Gizmo of course for anyone who follows me on various 00:10:13.040 --> 00:10:15.520 places and sees the Gizmo updates. 00:10:15.680 --> 00:10:19.280 He is the only other than I inherited one other dog 00:10:20.480 --> 00:10:27.760 non-golden I've ever acquired intentionally. 00:10:27.760 --> 00:10:31.120 Question three is about miscegenation. 00:10:36.000 --> 00:10:39.200 If someone is half African and half European, should they marry an 00:10:39.200 --> 00:10:44.400 African European, does this decision depend upon if the person the mixed 00:10:44.400 --> 00:10:47.040 person in this case is male or female. 00:10:47.040 --> 00:10:49.040 My typical advice is 00:10:50.000 --> 00:10:55.600 that you follow the father's line as a general overall rule. 00:10:55.600 --> 00:11:01.200 However, in the case of half African, half European European durations. 00:11:01.200 --> 00:11:05.120 And I see this as started making the rounds on X and 00:11:05.120 --> 00:11:06.320 some other places. 00:11:06.320 --> 00:11:10.080 The genetic distance, and there are various different ways you can measure 00:11:10.080 --> 00:11:13.760 genetic distance, and this is very commonly used in animal studies, for 00:11:13.760 --> 00:11:15.600 instance, and human beings are animals, right? 00:11:15.600 --> 00:11:17.840 Our physical body is mammalian. 00:11:17.840 --> 00:11:20.320 You can use the same tools. 00:11:20.480 --> 00:11:27.200 Genetic distance between Europeans and Africans is greater than that between like 00:11:27.280 --> 00:11:29.520 a wolf and a domestic dog. 00:11:29.520 --> 00:11:31.600 It's a big difference. 00:11:31.600 --> 00:11:35.760 So it's something that you'd even be tempted to call a difference 00:11:35.760 --> 00:11:38.240 in species under some circumstances. 00:11:38.240 --> 00:11:42.960 I don't prefer Use more of the classical definition of species, which 00:11:43.040 --> 00:11:46.560 essentially I know that they're edge cases, so before someone comments on 00:11:46.560 --> 00:11:49.120 it in the chat, I'm aware of the edge cases. 00:11:49.120 --> 00:11:55.200 But the classical definition is if two individuals can can reproduce and 00:11:55.200 --> 00:12:00.080 the offspring is itself fertile, then they are the same species. 00:12:00.080 --> 00:12:05.200 Definition recognize that these definitions are human inventions. 00:12:05.200 --> 00:12:09.040 So kind of like verse numbers and chapter numbers and scripture, we've 00:12:09.040 --> 00:12:10.640 added these things. 00:12:10.640 --> 00:12:15.200 God created the types, and within those types, then you have subtypes 00:12:15.200 --> 00:12:16.000 and things like that. 00:12:16.000 --> 00:12:20.400 For our purposes, we've created terms and a hierarchy that for us 00:12:20.400 --> 00:12:22.240 to categorize and deal with things. 00:12:22.640 --> 00:12:25.280 But in the case to get back to the question, in the 00:12:25.280 --> 00:12:27.920 case of someone who is half African and half European, I would 00:12:27.920 --> 00:12:30.080 say go at the African line. 00:12:30.320 --> 00:12:34.800 Because by and large those differences are so significant it is going 00:12:34.800 --> 00:12:38.960 to be difficult for that individual to fit into European society, into 00:12:38.960 --> 00:12:39.280 a Europe 00:12:40.560 --> 00:12:43.040 And the person is always going to feel like a bit of 00:12:43.040 --> 00:12:43.680 an outcast. 00:12:43.680 --> 00:12:46.160 It's going to be true in the African context as well. 00:12:46.320 --> 00:12:50.320 The difference being, In the African context, you're going to be the 00:12:50.320 --> 00:12:51.840 top of the pile, right? 00:12:51.840 --> 00:12:55.360 You are going to be in the upper echelons of society, you're 00:12:55.360 --> 00:12:58.720 going to be the one who gets to rule over the others. 00:12:58.720 --> 00:12:59.040 And 00:13:00.000 --> 00:13:04.160 be an easier position to deal with the consequences of your parents' 00:13:04.480 --> 00:13:07.760 decisions. Not saying the questioner in this case is necessarily the one, 00:13:07.760 --> 00:13:10.800 but ask in the hypothetical. 00:13:10.800 --> 00:13:14.160 Probably going to be an easier case to deal with that when 00:13:14.160 --> 00:13:17.760 you are at the top of the pile because of it than 00:13:17.760 --> 00:13:19.040 at the bottom. 00:13:19.040 --> 00:13:19.360 So 00:13:20.240 --> 00:13:24.240 say for various reasons, some other ones as well, someone who's half 00:13:24.240 --> 00:13:28.400 African and half European should marry back into Ham's line and continue 00:13:28.400 --> 00:13:29.280 on with that. 00:13:34.960 --> 00:13:38.720 Question four I guess is kind of tangentially related. 00:13:38.720 --> 00:13:41.120 My standard living fossils. 00:13:41.120 --> 00:13:45.600 Where do you stand on reports of dinosaurs living in Central Africa 00:13:45.600 --> 00:13:48.880 and Papua New Guinea or any other so-called living fossils? 00:13:48.880 --> 00:13:52.320 So this So this this is sort of a specific use of 00:13:52.320 --> 00:13:53.680 the term living fossils. 00:13:53.680 --> 00:13:57.840 The more common use of that specific term refers to animals that 00:13:57.840 --> 00:13:59.120 are very 00:14:00.080 --> 00:14:05.760 supposedly in the constructed timeline of Earth's past and yet still exist. 00:14:05.760 --> 00:14:09.120 So that's what someone usually calls a living fossil like crocodiles or 00:14:09.120 --> 00:14:12.080 living fossil, you know they haven't changed in a very long time. 00:14:12.080 --> 00:14:15.200 So part of that is Darwinian evolution, part of it's wrong, part 00:14:15.200 --> 00:14:15.920 of its right. 00:14:15.920 --> 00:14:18.800 I've gotten into that before. 00:14:20.080 --> 00:14:24.480 Like cryptids or the equivalent uh I guess natural cryptids as it 00:14:24.480 --> 00:14:28.720 were. creatures that are sort of out of time, according to that 00:14:28.720 --> 00:14:30.880 timeline, but yet living. 00:14:30.880 --> 00:14:34.960 I don't think there really are many, if any, living in, say, 00:14:34.960 --> 00:14:36.320 the jungles and things like that. 00:14:36.320 --> 00:14:38.560 Most of those would have died in the flood, just as a 00:14:38.560 --> 00:14:43.760 practical matter thing that was out of the ordinary and survived that 00:14:44.000 --> 00:14:46.800 humans would have hunted to extinction because it kept killing them in 00:14:46.800 --> 00:14:47.440 the night. 00:14:47.440 --> 00:14:49.600 That's why there are no lions in Europe now. 00:14:49.600 --> 00:14:51.040 There were lions in Europe. 00:14:51.040 --> 00:14:53.680 There aren't because they kept killing people in their beds. 00:14:53.680 --> 00:14:54.160 So So 00:14:55.440 --> 00:15:00.960 as far as this kind of or guess type of maybe there's 00:15:00.960 --> 00:15:02.160 some in the ocean. 00:15:02.160 --> 00:15:05.600 We've explored vanishingly little of the ocean and we have no idea 00:15:05.600 --> 00:15:06.480 what's down there. 00:15:06.480 --> 00:15:10.720 We just recently relatively speaking, figured out that colossal squid are actually 00:15:10.720 --> 00:15:13.920 a thing, and that the sailors who were telling these tales of 00:15:13.920 --> 00:15:17.200 squid that destroyed ships weren't lying. 00:15:17.360 --> 00:15:19.280 In some cases they were exaggerating a little but not 00:15:20.320 --> 00:15:22.960 So there could be all sorts of weird stuff hanging out in 00:15:22.960 --> 00:15:26.400 the ocean, the deep parts, because we haven't mapped it all, and 00:15:26.400 --> 00:15:29.440 we certainly don't have live video feeds of the entirety of the 00:15:29.440 --> 00:15:32.720 ocean. But as far as land creatures go, I'm pretty sure most 00:15:32.720 --> 00:15:34.320 of those are just dead. 00:15:34.320 --> 00:15:37.920 I don't think there's anything too particularly interesting hanging out in the 00:15:37.920 --> 00:15:45.120 forest. And I've spoken before anyone who does sort of tangentially related 00:15:45.200 --> 00:15:49.520 your question, anyone who does a lot of camping, hiking, etc., you 00:15:49.520 --> 00:15:52.800 will eventually run into something weird in the forest. 00:15:52.800 --> 00:15:57.520 And sometimes it's an animal whose call you don't recognize, sometimes it's 00:15:57.520 --> 00:15:58.560 something else 00:16:01.280 --> 00:16:03.520 the best advice I can give you is 00:16:04.880 --> 00:16:08.800 anytime you go on camping or hiking forums or anything like that 00:16:08.880 --> 00:16:14.160 and talk to people, you'll notice that there's a pretty significant number 00:16:14.160 --> 00:16:20.000 of individuals who have said I felt weird and I turned around. 00:16:20.000 --> 00:16:23.120 I still haven't seen anyone say I felt weird and I kept 00:16:23.120 --> 00:16:26.960 going. I think the takeaway from that's pretty obvious. 00:16:26.960 --> 00:16:31.440 So, you know, God gave you some amount of common sense, just 00:16:31.440 --> 00:16:34.240 make sure to exercise it. 00:16:34.560 --> 00:16:37.760 There are big animals in the woods, even if there's no cryptid 00:16:37.760 --> 00:16:38.880 or anything like that, bears exist. 00:16:40.000 --> 00:16:44.160 Bears are dangerous, even the black bears that are less dangerous than 00:16:44.160 --> 00:16:45.520 certainly grizzlies. 00:16:45.520 --> 00:16:49.760 I don't prefer hiking in places that have grizzlies even though they're 00:16:49.680 --> 00:16:53.120 beautiful. Although bear spray works. 00:16:53.120 --> 00:16:56.080 Always carry always, always carry bear spray. 00:16:56.080 --> 00:16:58.400 Bear spray works better than a gun. 00:16:58.400 --> 00:16:58.720 So 00:16:59.920 --> 00:17:05.040 tangential advice advice, but it works for this. 00:17:05.200 --> 00:17:10.000 Get into some of the questions from the chat here. 00:17:10.000 --> 00:17:14.480 Someone asked about some verses that the Aryans used historically to try 00:17:14.640 --> 00:17:18.400 To try to justify things, so I'll go ahead and copy that 00:17:21.120 --> 00:17:22.800 so I don't lose it. 00:17:22.800 --> 00:17:26.160 Okay. Says I am new to the faith. 00:17:26.160 --> 00:17:29.600 My question in light of 1 Corinthians 8 6, 1 Corinthians eleven 00:17:29.840 --> 00:17:32.320 three and John one eighteen. 00:17:32.320 --> 00:17:34.400 How are these not Arianistic? 00:17:34.400 --> 00:17:37.280 Could you explain the exegesis and philosophy there? 00:17:37.280 --> 00:17:39.200 So I know which verses the uh the 00:17:40.080 --> 00:17:41.840 even pull them up, but I'll pull them up so we can 00:17:41.840 --> 00:17:42.960 all look at them. 00:17:43.280 --> 00:17:48.480 There are times in scripture and in the early church where you 00:17:48.480 --> 00:17:52.960 see many of the references being to God the Father and Jesus 00:17:52.960 --> 00:17:55.520 the Son and sometimes they leave off the Holy Spirit. 00:17:55.520 --> 00:17:57.760 They don't always speak of the Trinity in full. 00:17:57.920 --> 00:18:03.440 In some cases, they emphasize the position of God and Father, and 00:18:03.440 --> 00:18:07.120 so they'll use God instead of saying Father, and they'll speak of 00:18:07.120 --> 00:18:10.240 the Son, and they'll speak of the Son as Lord instead of 00:18:10.240 --> 00:18:14.240 God. They're not saying that Jesus isn't God, because there are plenty 00:18:14.240 --> 00:18:17.440 of places that explicitly say Jesus is God, right? 00:18:17.680 --> 00:18:19.440 Not only that, but Jesus says I am 00:18:21.200 --> 00:18:21.520 So 00:18:22.480 --> 00:18:27.760 not all of these places are going to be sort of high-level 00:18:28.400 --> 00:18:34.400 or rigorous doctrinal examinations because some of this stuff is telling you 00:18:34.400 --> 00:18:35.040 about the faith. 00:18:35.200 --> 00:18:38.240 It's speaking about the faith, but it's not a theology textbook in 00:18:38.240 --> 00:18:40.400 all cases. 00:18:40.400 --> 00:18:41.680 You have to know 00:18:42.560 --> 00:18:45.440 scripture in context, which is always the rule here. 00:18:45.440 --> 00:18:47.280 So let me pull this up. 00:18:47.280 --> 00:18:55.040 The first one is first Corinthians eight six. 00:18:55.680 --> 00:19:01.120 So first Corinthians eight six and for some reason has decided to 00:19:01.120 --> 00:19:04.720 shrink. So let me fix that. 00:19:04.800 --> 00:19:07.840 Make it easier for all of you to read. 00:19:08.240 --> 00:19:08.560 So 00:19:10.800 --> 00:19:13.600 yet for us there is one God the Father from whom are 00:19:13.600 --> 00:19:17.520 all things and for whom we exist, and one Lord Jesus Christ, 00:19:17.520 --> 00:19:19.600 through whom we are who through whom 00:19:20.560 --> 00:19:22.240 through whom we exist. 00:19:22.240 --> 00:19:26.480 So it is still speaking of Christ here as God because all 00:19:26.480 --> 00:19:28.560 things exist through him, right? 00:19:28.560 --> 00:19:31.920 It's not wrong to say that all things are from the Father, 00:19:31.920 --> 00:19:36.480 because the Son is begotten of the Father, and the Spirit proceeds 00:19:36.480 --> 00:19:37.840 from the Father and the Son. 00:19:38.560 --> 00:19:38.880 So 00:19:40.080 --> 00:19:40.960 it's correct. 00:19:40.960 --> 00:19:42.240 This is correct to say this. 00:19:42.240 --> 00:19:44.480 What's being emphasized here is something different though. 00:19:44.480 --> 00:19:47.920 This is an emphasis, and you can see this earlier on, right? 00:19:47.920 --> 00:19:51.040 Because it's speaking of idols and false gods and other things. 00:19:51.040 --> 00:19:53.440 This is a condemnation of idols. 00:19:53.440 --> 00:19:56.480 So it's recognizing the Father, God the Father. 00:19:56.640 --> 00:20:00.240 Actually this time it does say God the Father specifically. 00:20:01.360 --> 00:20:05.760 It wouldn't have to specify if you didn't have different persons, right? 00:20:05.760 --> 00:20:07.280 It would just say God. 00:20:07.280 --> 00:20:09.840 And it does that in a few places, but not all places, 00:20:09.840 --> 00:20:13.600 like here where it says God and specifies God the Father. 00:20:13.600 --> 00:20:15.280 And Lord. 00:20:15.280 --> 00:20:19.760 Lord is interchangeable with God in some places. 00:20:19.840 --> 00:20:20.720 So what do you call him? 00:20:20.800 --> 00:20:22.160 We call him the Lord God. 00:20:22.160 --> 00:20:24.240 That's what he is, that's who he is. 00:20:24.240 --> 00:20:27.120 And so it is affirming the godship of Christ here. 00:20:27.120 --> 00:20:31.280 It's also emphasizing that Lordship of Christ of Christ in terms of 00:20:31.280 --> 00:20:35.440 his intercession and his interaction with creation and the fact that all 00:20:35.440 --> 00:20:38.160 things were made by and through Christ. 00:20:38.160 --> 00:20:42.000 Let me pull up the Corinthians eleven three 00:20:47.760 --> 00:20:49.920 But I want you to understand that the head of every man 00:20:49.920 --> 00:20:52.320 is Christ, the head of a wife is her husband, and the 00:20:52.320 --> 00:20:53.760 head of Christ is God. 00:20:54.080 --> 00:20:59.280 Again, this is this is actually this one's more heavily theological because 00:21:08.640 --> 00:21:11.200 He is lower than God the Father. 00:21:11.200 --> 00:21:13.520 And let me pull up 00:21:14.800 --> 00:21:18.080 the one of the creeds here. 00:21:18.080 --> 00:21:19.280 Obviously the Athens 00:21:20.480 --> 00:21:24.640 the fourth paragraph's what I want here, so. 00:21:24.640 --> 00:21:27.840 And just so you know, if you want to pull up one 00:21:27.840 --> 00:21:31.920 of the creeds, you can go to the bookofconcord.org and then slash 00:21:31.920 --> 00:21:34.960 C12 and 3 are the three creeds 00:21:36.240 --> 00:21:40.000 in the normal order they're given. 00:21:40.000 --> 00:21:41.680 In Athanasian. 00:21:41.680 --> 00:21:47.200 So the Athanasian Creed and Paragraph 4 equal to the Father as 00:21:47.200 --> 00:21:51.360 touching his Godhead and inferior to the father as touching his manhood. 00:21:51.360 --> 00:21:54.000 That is just standard of course the 00:21:54.880 --> 00:21:58.240 I see that OBS is being weird and not showing the full 00:21:58.240 --> 00:21:59.920 page. Let me try that again. 00:22:00.880 --> 00:22:02.080 There we go. 00:22:02.080 --> 00:22:05.280 Again, equal to the Father as touching his Godhead and inferior to 00:22:05.280 --> 00:22:07.040 the Father as touching his manner. 00:22:07.040 --> 00:22:11.200 This is the standard teaching of the church, of scripture, of Christianity, 00:22:11.200 --> 00:22:12.960 all along. 00:22:12.960 --> 00:22:18.560 With respect to his humanity, Christ is lesser than God the Father. 00:22:18.560 --> 00:22:19.120 With respect 00:22:20.320 --> 00:22:22.800 he is equal to God the Father because they are of one 00:22:22.800 --> 00:22:26.960 essence. Let me pull up the next one here. 00:22:26.960 --> 00:22:28.400 We have John, what was it? 00:22:28.480 --> 00:22:36.080 118. Let me swap 00:22:36.080 --> 00:22:38.800 back over to Logos. 00:22:42.880 --> 00:22:46.320 I need to set up some keys here to make this a 00:22:46.320 --> 00:22:51.200 little easier to swap back and forth. 00:22:51.200 --> 00:22:54.560 No one has ever seen God, God the only Son, who is 00:22:54.560 --> 00:22:56.720 at the Father's side, he has made him known. 00:22:56.720 --> 00:23:01.280 So right here in the verse it says, right? 00:23:01.280 --> 00:23:02.960 It's in the verse. 00:23:02.960 --> 00:23:05.040 And again, this is God 00:23:06.160 --> 00:23:07.360 is spirit. 00:23:07.360 --> 00:23:08.880 The Holy Spirit's also spirit. 00:23:08.880 --> 00:23:12.400 The Holy Spirit occasionally appears in scripture in, for instance, the form 00:23:12.400 --> 00:23:13.600 of a dove, right? 00:23:13.600 --> 00:23:15.760 But no one has seen God the Father. 00:23:15.760 --> 00:23:19.920 No one that's how God operates. 00:23:20.240 --> 00:23:22.400 Because God the Son is incarnate. 00:23:22.400 --> 00:23:26.800 God the Son has taken the humanity into himself, and so we 00:23:26.800 --> 00:23:28.160 can see God the Son. 00:23:28.160 --> 00:23:30.800 We don't see God the Father. 00:23:30.800 --> 00:23:33.840 The Son can see the Father because the Son is also, as 00:23:33.840 --> 00:23:36.800 it says here, God, God the only Son. 00:23:36.800 --> 00:23:40.960 So this is also this actually one of the teaches that the 00:23:40.960 --> 00:23:43.680 Son is indeed God, just explicitly states it. 00:23:43.680 --> 00:23:47.200 So So the Aryans would not be particularly wise to use that 00:23:47.200 --> 00:23:51.920 one. They tried to use a lot of arguments for that, because 00:23:52.240 --> 00:23:55.280 the Trinity is something that is beyond human reason, right? 00:23:55.280 --> 00:23:59.360 The Trinity is something that as human beings we cannot fully comprehend 00:24:00.000 --> 00:24:03.040 this life or probably also the next, right? 00:24:03.040 --> 00:24:04.720 But we don't have to understand everything. 00:24:04.720 --> 00:24:08.240 In fact we should be concerned if everything in our faith were 00:24:08.240 --> 00:24:11.680 completely understandable To human reason. 00:24:11.680 --> 00:24:15.440 Because God is infinite and we are finite. 00:24:15.440 --> 00:24:18.480 And so if we as a finite could understand everything that is 00:24:18.480 --> 00:24:21.600 taught about the infinite, that should make us question whether or not 00:24:21.600 --> 00:24:23.680 we're speaking of the actual infinite. 00:24:23.680 --> 00:24:26.240 Because we are limited in ways that he is not. 00:24:26.240 --> 00:24:30.000 But those verses are very easily explained within the standard bounds of 00:24:30.000 --> 00:24:36.080 Christian theology. 00:24:37.200 --> 00:24:40.000 Pull some qu another question here from the chat. 00:24:40.000 --> 00:24:44.160 Advice for how question six advice for how a white man should 00:24:44.160 --> 00:24:49.280 navigate advocating for his nation politically while also having non-white nephews and 00:24:49.280 --> 00:24:55.120 nieces. So this is going to depend in part in a terms 00:24:55.120 --> 00:25:00.080 of nuance, but not in terms of really the overall approach. 00:25:00.160 --> 00:25:01.520 Really two things. 00:25:01.520 --> 00:25:05.120 Are these nephews and nieces adopted aliens? 00:25:06.000 --> 00:25:07.360 Because that matters. 00:25:07.360 --> 00:25:09.280 Now there's a distinction there that I would draw. 00:25:13.040 --> 00:25:15.840 The former is good, the latter is bad. 00:25:15.840 --> 00:25:20.400 So if they're adopted, you have less of a concern to just 00:25:20.400 --> 00:25:21.680 be sent back to their homelands. 00:25:21.680 --> 00:25:23.360 That's the eventual goal. 00:25:23.360 --> 00:25:25.840 And it doesn't matter that they've been adopted. 00:25:40.240 --> 00:25:43.840 Goes back to the earlier question, right, about are we dealing with 00:25:43.840 --> 00:25:48.560 an individual who's half Japanese, half Chinese versus half African? 00:25:48.560 --> 00:25:51.120 There will be different ways to deal with that. 00:25:51.120 --> 00:25:54.640 I haven't drawn up, you know, Nuremberg Laws 2.0, no one has 00:25:54.640 --> 00:25:56.800 done that as far as I'm aware. 00:25:56.800 --> 00:26:00.560 I don't really intend to do that in the near future. 00:26:00.560 --> 00:26:03.760 There will be some sort of line drawing that will be necessary 00:26:03.760 --> 00:26:06.880 at some point in the future, and it will take into account 00:26:06.880 --> 00:26:10.480 that certain peoples are in fact more compatible with us than others, 00:26:10.480 --> 00:26:14.400 right? Someone who is half Japanese and half white is going to 00:26:14.400 --> 00:26:19.200 have some trouble picking aside and you know, integrating full 00:26:20.640 --> 00:26:23.840 but much less so than someone who is half African. 00:26:23.840 --> 00:26:27.600 So I'm not saying that someone who is, you know, half Japanese 00:26:27.600 --> 00:26:32.720 has no problems in life because as anyone who is mixed knows, 00:26:32.720 --> 00:26:34.960 your parents created problems for you. 00:26:34.960 --> 00:26:37.520 And they're very real problems, and the people who tell you you're 00:26:37.520 --> 00:26:40.880 perfect the way you are and nothing is wrong those people are 00:26:40.880 --> 00:26:42.640 lying because you've lived it. 00:26:42.640 --> 00:26:45.760 And so I get people who DM me all the time about 00:26:45.760 --> 00:26:46.720 this stuff, but 00:26:47.840 --> 00:26:52.240 it's going to depend on sort of what the admixture is there. 00:26:52.240 --> 00:26:55.200 And the best thing that you can do is 00:26:56.160 --> 00:26:59.360 in some way they are family, but they're less 00:27:00.240 --> 00:27:05.200 your sibling had married another white person, right? 00:27:05.200 --> 00:27:09.120 So if you have, say, white nieces and nephews, you should probably 00:27:09.120 --> 00:27:12.240 show them preference because they are more your blood. 00:27:12.400 --> 00:27:14.960 than those who are mixed. 00:27:14.960 --> 00:27:17.520 But that doesn't mean that you treat these individuals badly. 00:27:17.520 --> 00:27:19.280 The goal isn't to, you know 00:27:20.160 --> 00:27:24.160 who's different as much as some people would like the it it's 00:27:24.160 --> 00:27:25.040 easier, right? 00:27:25.040 --> 00:27:26.640 That's an easier path. 00:27:27.040 --> 00:27:28.400 But that's not the goal. 00:27:28.400 --> 00:27:31.920 The goal is we want our own lands, our own culture, our 00:27:31.920 --> 00:27:36.480 own people who are protected from everyone else, and we don't want 00:27:36.480 --> 00:27:38.880 the problems that come with having 00:27:39.840 --> 00:27:42.400 other peoples in our lands, not to say nothing of the fact 00:27:42.400 --> 00:27:44.640 that it's a curse from God, right? 00:27:44.640 --> 00:27:48.240 So the ideal and it's actually a tragedy that there are so 00:27:48.240 --> 00:27:49.600 many problems, but the ideal would be 00:28:04.080 --> 00:28:07.280 and we have to deal with things as they exist. 00:28:07.280 --> 00:28:12.480 It's realpolitik, right, instead of wishful thinking. 00:28:12.480 --> 00:28:17.120 But to some degree I can't give you exact advice because it's 00:28:17.040 --> 00:28:19.120 a fact specific analysis, right? 00:28:19.120 --> 00:28:23.520 There it's it's a legal term of art, but in in the 00:28:23.520 --> 00:28:26.000 law there are really two kinds of questions. 00:28:26.000 --> 00:28:29.920 There are purely legal questions where it's you know, is this a 00:28:29.920 --> 00:28:31.680 violation of the law? 00:28:31.680 --> 00:28:32.000 And 00:28:32.960 --> 00:28:35.120 it's one of those where you don't need to know the facts 00:28:35.120 --> 00:28:37.520 of the case, you just need to know the thing and the 00:28:37.520 --> 00:28:42.160 law. And there are things that are fact where the actual facts 00:28:42.240 --> 00:28:44.960 specifically what happened to this instance truly matters. 00:28:44.960 --> 00:28:48.800 And that's sort of the analysis that needs to be done here. 00:28:48.800 --> 00:28:53.040 So like I said, you don't treat them poorly, but I think 00:28:53.040 --> 00:28:57.360 preferencing if you have full-blooded relatives, I don't think it's wrong to 00:28:57.360 --> 00:29:01.600 preference them because those are those circles of which we've spoken so 00:29:01.600 --> 00:29:02.640 many times. 00:29:02.640 --> 00:29:06.160 And those who are more genetically related are closer to you and 00:29:06.160 --> 00:29:08.240 you have a greater duty. 00:29:08.560 --> 00:29:11.520 Obviously, yes, this creates problems, right? 00:29:11.520 --> 00:29:17.760 Because if you advocate for deporting everyone who is not actually racially 00:29:17.760 --> 00:29:19.120 American, you are 00:29:20.160 --> 00:29:22.240 nieces and nephews potentially. 00:29:22.320 --> 00:29:25.120 But you didn't create this problem. 00:29:25.120 --> 00:29:27.600 Your sibling created this problem. 00:29:27.600 --> 00:29:31.520 And yes, it's going to cause strife for you. 00:29:31.520 --> 00:29:33.840 That is just the reality. 00:29:33.840 --> 00:29:36.160 Sometimes that's unavoidable in this life. 00:29:36.160 --> 00:29:39.200 So it's a matter of wisdom and you know 00:29:40.160 --> 00:29:44.880 have to bring the squabbling and the fighting home, or at least 00:29:45.040 --> 00:29:47.920 not to the same degree that you would engage with it in 00:29:47.920 --> 00:29:50.560 public or social media or whatever else. 00:29:50.560 --> 00:29:54.160 But that again also partly depends on the reality, right? 00:29:54.400 --> 00:30:00.560 If you're dealing with a sibling who has miscegenated and the be 00:30:00.560 --> 00:30:04.640 with this individual and the individual is African, that's probably going to 00:30:04.640 --> 00:30:08.400 cause much greater problems in your home life and in the tranquility 00:30:08.480 --> 00:30:09.600 and all those things. 00:30:09.600 --> 00:30:11.760 And everything that we know comes along with that. 00:30:11.760 --> 00:30:13.840 And so in that case you should behave differently. 00:30:13.840 --> 00:30:16.160 Maybe you need to sort of push that person out of your 00:30:16.160 --> 00:30:19.280 life a little bit for the sake of the others entrusted to 00:30:19.280 --> 00:30:20.960 you. So 00:30:22.240 --> 00:30:25.040 it's not an easy question to answer and it's certainly not an 00:30:25.040 --> 00:30:28.880 easy situation in which to live, but you apply the wisdom that 00:30:28.880 --> 00:30:33.520 God has given you, you recognize those concentric circles of duty and 00:30:33.520 --> 00:30:37.200 the greater duty to those who are closer, and do the best 00:30:37.200 --> 00:30:38.960 you can with the situation to which you 00:30:40.480 --> 00:30:47.600 not of your own will. 00:30:47.680 --> 00:30:51.040 A second question from the same individual but sort of in a 00:31:04.720 --> 00:31:07.360 Let's see. 00:31:07.440 --> 00:31:15.440 A couple notes for myself here before I continue. 00:31:15.440 --> 00:31:20.720 Okay. Per Luke sixteen eighteen is it always sinful for a non 00:31:20.720 --> 00:31:22.960 virgin woman? 00:31:22.960 --> 00:31:24.720 So Luke sixteen eighteen. 00:31:24.720 --> 00:31:28.240 Everyone who divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery, and he 00:31:28.240 --> 00:31:31.200 who marries a woman divorced from her husband commits adultery. 00:31:34.320 --> 00:31:36.640 The answer is yes and no. 00:31:36.640 --> 00:31:36.960 So 00:31:40.080 --> 00:31:42.400 cases and this pops up all over the place. 00:31:42.400 --> 00:31:47.920 There are times where sin leaves everyone in a position where there's 00:31:47.920 --> 00:31:48.640 no good solution. 00:31:48.640 --> 00:31:50.800 There's no perfect solution. 00:31:50.800 --> 00:31:54.240 So this is going to depend on 00:31:55.520 --> 00:31:58.640 the sort of government under which under which you live and then 00:31:58.800 --> 00:31:59.280 again 00:32:00.720 --> 00:32:01.920 a divorced woman. 00:32:01.920 --> 00:32:03.760 Why is she divorced? 00:32:03.760 --> 00:32:05.120 That matters. 00:32:05.120 --> 00:32:07.200 Did her husband abandon her? 00:32:07.200 --> 00:32:10.160 Did her husband have an affair? 00:32:10.160 --> 00:32:12.800 Is and you know there's a difference between a man having an 00:32:12.800 --> 00:32:14.880 affair and a woman having an affair, right? 00:32:14.880 --> 00:32:16.480 Gone over that many times. 00:32:16.480 --> 00:32:20.400 Neither case is it good, but in one case there's actually in 00:32:20.400 --> 00:32:22.400 the other case there really isn't. 00:32:22.400 --> 00:32:27.280 Other than reconciliation, but if reconciliation doesn't happen, there's no solution. 00:32:27.280 --> 00:32:30.400 So if the woman is divorced for a reason that is morally 00:32:30.400 --> 00:32:31.680 permissible, right? 00:32:31.680 --> 00:32:36.320 Again, adultery, abandonment, basically, adultery and things that are tantamount to it. 00:32:40.480 --> 00:32:44.320 She's divorced, but she's divorced for a reason that you're permitted to 00:32:44.320 --> 00:32:45.040 divorce. 00:32:46.960 --> 00:32:48.320 The husband's the guilty party. 00:32:48.320 --> 00:32:50.320 The former husband is the guilty party. 00:32:50.320 --> 00:32:53.120 Now let's say that she is the adulteress. 00:32:53.120 --> 00:32:56.080 Right, that's sort of the the hard case as it were, or 00:32:56.080 --> 00:32:58.400 the easy case, depending on how you look at it. 00:32:58.400 --> 00:32:59.280 If she 00:33:00.400 --> 00:33:05.600 and so her husband divorced her because she committed adultery. 00:33:05.600 --> 00:33:09.840 If you live under a society that actually enforces the moral law, 00:33:09.840 --> 00:33:11.840 adultery is a capital crime. 00:33:11.840 --> 00:33:14.800 And so the issue never arises. 00:33:15.040 --> 00:33:18.800 If you live under a society that doesn't punish adultery, that's where 00:33:18.800 --> 00:33:19.600 this becomes 00:33:21.360 --> 00:33:27.680 wandering around who the state should have punished and yet they've committed 00:33:27.680 --> 00:33:33.280 this grave sin and now they are in a position where what 00:33:33.280 --> 00:33:35.520 do they do and what do other people do in response to 00:33:35.520 --> 00:33:36.240 them, right? 00:33:36.240 --> 00:33:37.840 Should they never marry? 00:33:37.840 --> 00:33:41.600 Probably. But that Is that going to lead to greater problems if 00:33:41.600 --> 00:33:42.640 they don't marry? 00:33:42.640 --> 00:33:44.160 Also probably. 00:33:44.160 --> 00:33:49.120 So we as a society have created this problem for ourselves by 00:33:49.120 --> 00:33:56.160 not addressing the underlying crime, by not punishing criminals.'s the harsh truth. 00:33:56.160 --> 00:33:59.040 The harsh truth is you should punish adultery so harshly that it 00:33:59.040 --> 00:34:03.360 doesn't whether or not you should marry an adulteress. 00:34:03.360 --> 00:34:07.200 Under the present circumstances where that has not been done, do I 00:34:07.200 --> 00:34:10.960 think it's always a sin to marry a woman who is divorced 00:34:10.960 --> 00:34:12.560 because of adultery? 00:34:12.560 --> 00:34:14.560 I think that it's not always so. 00:34:14.560 --> 00:34:15.760 Is it ideal? 00:34:15.760 --> 00:34:20.160 No. But let's say for instance, she's the adulteress, right? 00:34:20.400 --> 00:34:23.440 She can't be reconciled to him now because he's remarried. 00:34:23.440 --> 00:34:27.200 There's also the, you know, polluted field thing and all of that. 00:34:27.200 --> 00:34:30.880 So what is the best solution if the state doesn't punish her? 00:34:30.880 --> 00:34:34.160 Well it's probably for her to get married and then not cheat 00:34:34.160 --> 00:34:36.960 again Is this wise on your part? 00:34:36.960 --> 00:34:38.160 Probably not. 00:34:38.160 --> 00:34:43.040 Because a woman who once will probably do it next time as 00:34:43.040 --> 00:34:44.160 well. So 00:34:45.120 --> 00:34:46.880 is it always sin? 00:34:46.880 --> 00:34:48.240 I don't think always. 00:34:48.240 --> 00:34:49.040 Is it just 00:35:01.040 --> 00:35:06.960 But if she is divorced because her husband committed adultery, then it's 00:35:06.960 --> 00:35:08.640 fine. It's not ideal, right? 00:35:08.640 --> 00:35:11.200 This is a situation that should never arise. 00:35:11.200 --> 00:35:15.520 He did something evil, but it's not her fault. 00:35:15.520 --> 00:35:18.320 The same thing is, you know, a woman who is a widow, 00:35:18.320 --> 00:35:19.280 right? She's not a vir 00:35:20.240 --> 00:35:21.920 because she's a widow. 00:35:21.920 --> 00:35:23.040 That's not her fault. 00:35:23.040 --> 00:35:24.240 Her husband died. 00:35:24.240 --> 00:35:26.720 So we live in an imperfect world. 00:35:26.720 --> 00:35:28.240 We live in a fallen world. 00:35:28.240 --> 00:35:32.560 Sometimes things are always things are not going to be perfect or 00:35:32.560 --> 00:35:34.880 ideal. We do the best that we can. 00:35:34.880 --> 00:35:37.840 So, like I said, you run the basic analysis, right? 00:35:37.840 --> 00:35:39.280 Is she divorced because she did 00:35:40.160 --> 00:35:42.080 divorce because he did something? 00:35:42.080 --> 00:35:44.400 Is it something that permitted divorce? 00:35:44.400 --> 00:35:48.160 And then is what you are trying to do wise? 00:35:48.480 --> 00:35:52.240 And again, we should have a Christian prince who obviates these questions, 00:35:52.240 --> 00:35:54.960 makes it so we don't have to talk about this stuff because 00:35:54.960 --> 00:35:59.200 he did his job, which might be difficult given that we have 00:35:59.280 --> 00:36:01.600 a leader in this country. 00:36:08.800 --> 00:36:09.920 Question eight. 00:36:09.920 --> 00:36:12.400 Do you read the day of the Lord in the prophets as 00:36:12.400 --> 00:36:15.600 referring to the destruction of Jerusalem alone, the end of the world 00:36:15.600 --> 00:36:19.200 alone, or each of them depending on the context, which is 00:36:20.160 --> 00:36:23.440 to when Peter quotes him in Acts 2. 00:36:23.440 --> 00:36:23.760 So 00:36:24.640 --> 00:36:30.880 the answer to this is both, because generally speaking, God likes typology. 00:36:30.880 --> 00:36:34.320 I've mentioned this many times and I'll mention it many more times. 00:36:34.320 --> 00:36:36.240 God really likes typology. 00:36:36.240 --> 00:36:38.080 It's all over the place in scripture. 00:36:38.080 --> 00:36:39.280 And really it's kind of all over 00:36:40.480 --> 00:36:42.400 as well, right? 00:36:42.400 --> 00:36:45.120 In a very real sense, for instance, each person, right, we're an 00:36:45.120 --> 00:36:47.840 icon, we're an image of God that's a type of God in 00:36:47.840 --> 00:36:52.320 creation. But without getting too deeply into that, the day of the 00:36:52.320 --> 00:36:58.560 Lord is prefigured by the destruction of Jerusalem, the wicked city, and 00:36:58.560 --> 00:36:59.280 then obviously 00:37:00.240 --> 00:37:03.280 then becomes the image of the wicked city that is ultimately destroyed 00:37:03.280 --> 00:37:05.200 on the day of the Lord and the harlot and all of 00:37:05.200 --> 00:37:09.760 that. It's all symbolism, it's imagery depicting the wicked world passing away 00:37:09.840 --> 00:37:11.920 being destroyed in fire. 00:37:11.920 --> 00:37:12.240 So 00:37:14.240 --> 00:37:18.480 you have the minor fulfillment of the day of the Lord, the 00:37:18.480 --> 00:37:23.920 typical fulfillment with regard to the destruction of Jerusalem, the burning of 00:37:23.920 --> 00:37:24.960 the temple. 00:37:24.960 --> 00:37:26.480 It happened multiple times as well. 00:37:26.480 --> 00:37:28.480 This has not happened once, right? 00:37:28.480 --> 00:37:32.080 The Babylonians did it, Rome did it, Rome is sort of the 00:37:32.080 --> 00:37:33.440 one that really did it. 00:37:33.440 --> 00:37:36.560 And then God will do it at the end of time. 00:37:36.560 --> 00:37:41.440 So the ultimate fulfillment, the ultim The one that is meant in 00:37:41.440 --> 00:37:45.360 the fullest sense when it is mentioned is of course Judgment Day, 00:37:45.360 --> 00:37:50.480 the actual return of Christ, but they are both in view because 00:37:50.480 --> 00:37:52.560 it's typology. 00:37:52.560 --> 00:37:56.320 But if you want to read it certainly today, you should be 00:37:56.320 --> 00:37:59.280 reading it and yes, keep in mind that historic 00:38:00.240 --> 00:38:04.400 sack and the destruction of Jerusalem, but it's really looking forward to 00:38:04.400 --> 00:38:07.600 the judgment, to the last day. 00:38:07.600 --> 00:38:11.520 That's why it's the great and terrible day of the Lord, right? 00:38:11.520 --> 00:38:14.880 I mean sure if you were a a Jew, it's a pretty 00:38:14.880 --> 00:38:18.160 terrible day of the Lord to be in Jerusalem when the Romans 00:38:18.160 --> 00:38:22.160 destroyed it. 00:38:22.160 --> 00:38:25.600 It's a little worse the final day, and also worse to be 00:38:25.600 --> 00:38:27.040 Jewish, so 00:38:28.000 --> 00:38:33.680 the next question I'll go ahead and translate it into English since 00:38:33.680 --> 00:38:34.880 it's in German here. 00:38:34.880 --> 00:38:36.720 Let me copy it first. 00:38:37.680 --> 00:38:38.800 If I can get 00:38:41.040 --> 00:38:42.160 there we go. 00:38:42.160 --> 00:38:47.520 Firefox to cooperate. 00:38:47.520 --> 00:38:58.000 Question nine, which for some reason copied with HTML markup. 00:38:58.000 --> 00:39:04.800 Let's see how g the translation in the Septuagint Deutsch 00:39:06.560 --> 00:39:10.320 I read English fluently. 00:39:10.320 --> 00:39:15.120 Is it worth the effort and cost to get the Septuagint Deutsch? 00:39:15.120 --> 00:39:18.400 And so the answer I'm going to say is go ahead and 00:39:18.400 --> 00:39:18.720 get it. 00:39:18.800 --> 00:39:20.240 It's great. 00:39:20.400 --> 00:39:26.640 Is one of the better translations of the Septuagint that I have 00:39:26.640 --> 00:39:27.280 found so far. 00:39:27.280 --> 00:39:30.560 I'm glad my mic is not fix so that I can do 00:39:30.560 --> 00:39:31.920 this. Grab this book over here. 00:39:31.920 --> 00:39:33.680 This is the Septuagint Deutsch. 00:39:33.680 --> 00:39:34.960 I do usually have it on my desk. 00:39:34.960 --> 00:39:37.520 I just have it on my other desk over there right now. 00:39:37.520 --> 00:39:39.120 It is a good translation. 00:39:39.120 --> 00:39:42.160 I so far where I've disagreed with anything. 00:39:42.160 --> 00:39:43.840 I haven't read through the whole thing yet. 00:39:43.840 --> 00:39:47.360 I do most of my reading in English. 00:39:47.360 --> 00:39:49.520 It is my first language, it is the one I know the 00:39:49.520 --> 00:39:53.680 best. But I do like to read the Psalms and some things 00:39:53.680 --> 00:40:00.000 in the Septuagint Deutsch, and I it's great that it exists. 00:40:00.000 --> 00:40:06.160 At least one European language has a good translation available that is 00:40:06.160 --> 00:40:09.840 an actual functional modern language. 00:40:09.840 --> 00:40:10.720 It's German. 00:40:10.720 --> 00:40:12.240 The English one doesn't exist yet. 00:40:12.240 --> 00:40:13.680 I hope that comes around soon. 00:40:13.680 --> 00:40:17.200 But if you speak German, if you want to learn German, go 00:40:17.200 --> 00:40:18.000 ahead and grab this. 00:40:18.000 --> 00:40:19.440 It's great volume. 00:40:20.160 --> 00:40:27.920 Something's gonna fall off my desk now that I moved that though. 00:40:40.480 --> 00:40:44.400 Ten. Let me make another note for myself here before I continue. 00:40:52.400 --> 00:40:53.680 Hey, question ten. 00:40:53.680 --> 00:40:56.720 I have seen a lot of Eastern Orthodox who are sympathetic to 00:40:56.720 --> 00:41:00.080 and even supportive of white national socialists. 00:41:00.240 --> 00:41:03.600 It appears to me that they are willing to prioritize prioritize the 00:41:03.600 --> 00:41:06.080 white race over their churches religious beliefs. 00:41:06.080 --> 00:41:09.280 Are any of them trustworthy or should they be treated as enemies? 00:41:09.280 --> 00:41:12.960 I've listened to the SC episode on the EOSO. 00:41:12.960 --> 00:41:16.080 There are good men in the EO churches. 00:41:16.080 --> 00:41:20.240 I think that I've stated this bluntly before so I've no I 00:41:20.240 --> 00:41:24.640 think that many of the men who convert to Eastern Orthodox in 00:41:24.640 --> 00:41:27.680 a Western context are psychologically damaged in some way. 00:41:27.840 --> 00:41:31.040 And I think if they're being honest with themselves, they know that. 00:41:31.040 --> 00:41:34.640 Because you don't go looking for something that is that fundamentally foreign 00:41:34.640 --> 00:41:38.560 and alien unless there's something lacking in you. 00:41:38.560 --> 00:41:38.880 So 00:41:40.000 --> 00:41:44.880 there are those who convert and then just become absolutely insufferable. 00:41:44.880 --> 00:41:46.720 Those men are going to be a problem. 00:41:46.720 --> 00:41:48.960 They already are a problem, but they're going to continue to be 00:41:48.960 --> 00:41:49.760 a problem. 00:41:49.760 --> 00:41:50.880 But are there good men? 00:41:50.880 --> 00:41:52.880 Absolutely. I can think of a few right now. 00:41:52.880 --> 00:41:53.680 I've spoken with them. 00:41:53.680 --> 00:41:55.120 I've met them in person. 00:41:55.120 --> 00:41:58.240 They are doing good work on various projects. 00:41:58.240 --> 00:42:01.520 Some of you listening, you may be thinking of the same one 00:42:01.520 --> 00:42:03.040 I'm thinking of now. 00:42:03.040 --> 00:42:05.520 There are good men in the EO churches. 00:42:05.520 --> 00:42:08.320 Just the same as I believe there are good men in the 00:42:08.320 --> 00:42:09.760 Roman churches, right? 00:42:09.760 --> 00:42:10.880 I am a Lutheran. 00:42:10.880 --> 00:42:15.120 I strongly, I vehemently disagree with what the Roman Church teaches. 00:42:15.120 --> 00:42:19.360 I think that what the Roman Church teaches with regard to works 00:42:19.680 --> 00:42:22.960 But part of justification is abhorrent. 00:42:22.960 --> 00:42:25.440 It is heresy of the highest order. 00:42:25.440 --> 00:42:29.200 But I think there are good Christians in the Roman Catholic churches. 00:42:29.200 --> 00:42:35.120 We've gone over this many times, and it is called felicitous consistency. 00:42:35.120 --> 00:42:36.320 Inconsistency, rather. 00:42:36.320 --> 00:42:39.120 It's called Felicitous Inconsistency is the tech 00:42:40.320 --> 00:42:41.440 friends use for this. 00:42:41.440 --> 00:42:45.680 And I will put this into the show notes because it's a 00:42:45.680 --> 00:42:47.840 good thing for people to go and read what it is that 00:42:47.840 --> 00:42:49.440 we mean by that. 00:42:49.760 --> 00:42:54.480 And just to explain it briefly, we look at it as there 00:42:54.480 --> 00:42:57.360 are many churches out there that teach falsely. 00:42:57.360 --> 00:43:00.880 They have this doctrine wrong. 00:43:00.880 --> 00:43:03.520 They teach something about the faith that is wrong. 00:43:03.520 --> 00:43:04.880 In some cases very big. 00:43:04.880 --> 00:43:07.600 Right? In the Roman Catholic case it's justification they get wrong. 00:43:07.600 --> 00:43:08.560 It's the core of the faith. 00:43:08.560 --> 00:43:11.120 It's the article on which the church stands or falls. 00:43:11.120 --> 00:43:14.080 It's not to say other things aren't important, but it's literally the 00:43:14.080 --> 00:43:16.960 core of the faith, and they get it wrong. 00:43:16.960 --> 00:43:17.280 But 00:43:18.720 --> 00:43:19.600 Felicity 00:43:20.560 --> 00:43:24.640 says that despite the false teaching of those churches, ultimately in their 00:43:24.640 --> 00:43:27.040 hearts, due to the fact that God has given them the free 00:43:27.040 --> 00:43:31.280 gift of faith, they rely on Christ and His completed work, and 00:43:31.680 --> 00:43:34.720 the false thing that their church teaches is not going to damn 00:43:34.720 --> 00:43:37.120 them because ultimately they rely on Christ. 00:43:37.120 --> 00:43:40.000 That's what we believe of many of them. 00:43:40.000 --> 00:43:41.440 All of them. 00:43:41.440 --> 00:43:43.920 I hold the same thing about the EO. 00:43:43.920 --> 00:43:48.720 The stuff that Palamus teaches is rank heresy, and I don't know 00:43:48.720 --> 00:43:50.480 how anyone can read it and make any other conclusion. 00:43:50.960 --> 00:43:52.240 I hated reading his stuff. 00:43:52.240 --> 00:43:55.280 It was like reading something that was written in hell. 00:43:55.280 --> 00:43:58.160 But I believe there are good men in those churches, and I 00:43:58.160 --> 00:44:02.080 believe they're Christian, and I will see them again in paradise. 00:44:02.080 --> 00:44:05.920 I would prefer that they convert to some other traditional form of 00:44:05.920 --> 00:44:10.480 Christianity, instead of that, particularly because it's such a LARP in the 00:44:10.480 --> 00:44:11.600 Western context. 00:44:11.600 --> 00:44:12.720 It's alien to us. 00:44:12.720 --> 00:44:13.280 Yes, I know. 00:44:13.280 --> 00:44:16.000 We've had some of them up in r you know Alaska for 00:44:16.000 --> 00:44:17.040 a while. 00:44:17.040 --> 00:44:21.440 Fine. It has never been a in the United States. 00:44:21.440 --> 00:44:24.480 It has always had at the most a very tiny presence. 00:44:24.480 --> 00:44:25.840 It is alien to the West. 00:44:25.840 --> 00:44:28.400 It's called Eastern Orthodoxy. 00:44:30.880 --> 00:44:31.200 So 00:44:32.080 --> 00:44:33.520 are they all enemies? 00:44:33.520 --> 00:44:35.760 No. Are some of them enemies? 00:44:35.760 --> 00:44:39.440 Yes, because they have decided to be so because they have decided 00:44:40.160 --> 00:44:47.280 entire identity, this adopted alien version of Christianity, and they 00:44:47.440 --> 00:44:52.320 just constantly attack their previous beliefs, their previous faith, and all of 00:44:52.320 --> 00:44:54.480 the good Christian men in those churches. 00:44:54.480 --> 00:44:54.960 So So 00:44:56.320 --> 00:44:58.560 the answer is that it's mixed. 00:44:58.560 --> 00:44:59.280 But many of the 00:45:00.560 --> 00:45:02.800 I would be glad to have them on our side and I 00:45:02.800 --> 00:45:04.640 hope that they stay that way. 00:45:04.640 --> 00:45:08.400 I again I would prefer they convert to something else, but as 00:45:08.400 --> 00:45:12.480 long as they are Christian, it's better than the alternatives. 00:45:12.480 --> 00:45:16.240 Even if I don't think that certainly their church is ideal. 00:45:22.880 --> 00:45:24.080 Let's see. 00:45:29.440 --> 00:45:32.000 A related question, a difficult one. 00:45:32.000 --> 00:45:35.360 Question eleven, and there's sort of a little follow-up here before I'll 00:45:35.600 --> 00:45:38.080 copy and save that as well. 00:45:40.000 --> 00:45:43.120 Navy and state churches, and certainly this will apply to some of 00:45:43.120 --> 00:45:44.960 our other brothers and sisters over in Europe. 00:45:44.960 --> 00:45:47.600 It's not just the Scandinavians, the Germans, for instance, have some of 00:45:47.600 --> 00:45:48.880 the same problems. 00:45:48.880 --> 00:45:53.120 Regarding Scandinavian state churches, because so much of the apostasy is directly 00:45:53.120 --> 00:45:56.480 imposed by our wicked governments, what would you suggest? 00:45:56.480 --> 00:46:00.880 I'm really reluctant to just abandon the state churches and some of 00:46:00.880 --> 00:46:04.960 the things that they impose, for instance, is noted here, forcing the 00:46:04.960 --> 00:46:10.400 churches to accept female priests and homosexual marriage, so-called. 00:46:10.400 --> 00:46:13.360 And they do that even against the independent churches. 00:46:13.360 --> 00:46:17.360 In so the German context, you have Selk, right? 00:46:17.360 --> 00:46:20.160 Or Selk, however you want to pronounce that. 00:46:20.160 --> 00:46:24.880 Okay. But it's not perfect, it's better than a lot of others, 00:46:24.880 --> 00:46:28.800 it's made some compromises, but that's sort of the best option for 00:46:28.800 --> 00:46:30.800 those in the German context. 00:46:30.800 --> 00:46:33.600 I'm sure there are equivalents, I know there are in some of 00:46:33.600 --> 00:46:36.080 the Scandinavian countries, but not all. 00:46:36.080 --> 00:46:38.800 I think that in many cases you're going to have to do 00:46:38.800 --> 00:46:43.360 the same thing many times for those in the American context. 00:46:43.360 --> 00:46:45.760 Start a home church. 00:46:45.760 --> 00:46:49.680 And the goal would be, it's maybe a little more difficult with 00:46:49.680 --> 00:46:53.520 state churches, but the goal here certainly is to have the home 00:46:53.520 --> 00:46:56.640 church grow enough that you can take over a building from a 00:46:56.640 --> 00:46:58.640 collapsing false church. 00:46:58.640 --> 00:46:59.040 Because for 00:47:00.400 --> 00:47:02.800 makes a lot of their money for their budget by selling old 00:47:02.800 --> 00:47:08.080 buildings. Huge opportunity for a faithful church to get a nice building 00:47:08.080 --> 00:47:10.640 at a decent price. 00:47:10.640 --> 00:47:16.080 In the European context, and particularly with regard to state churches, that's 00:47:16.080 --> 00:47:18.640 going to be more difficult because you almost have to take over 00:47:18.640 --> 00:47:21.120 the state churches. 00:47:21.120 --> 00:47:24.320 So I think that the home churches may be a longer term 00:47:24.560 --> 00:47:28.880 solution out of just sheer necessity in the European context. 00:47:28.880 --> 00:47:31.840 I don't think that you're going to be able to avoid that. 00:47:31.840 --> 00:47:32.160 So 00:47:33.360 --> 00:47:38.400 if you can find one of the relatively independent smaller churches that 00:47:38.400 --> 00:47:41.440 is faithful, that's great. 00:47:41.440 --> 00:47:45.840 It's always better to have the camaraderie and the decent sized church, 00:47:45.840 --> 00:47:48.720 don't forsake the gathering together of the saints, so on and so 00:47:48.720 --> 00:47:52.880 forth. But if the church is going to burden your conscience, if 00:47:52.880 --> 00:47:54.880 they are going to force you to accept things that are wicked 00:48:10.080 --> 00:48:12.080 Question twelve. 00:48:12.080 --> 00:48:14.560 Is this a heretical statement? 00:48:14.560 --> 00:48:18.320 Race mixing is sin per se via the fourth and fifth commandments 00:48:18.400 --> 00:48:22.960 and destruction because it is the destruction of one or more bloodlines, 00:48:22.960 --> 00:48:26.880 and so I don't know precisely which numbering you're using, but I 00:48:26.880 --> 00:48:29.280 assume you're going for honor thy father and thy mother, and thou 00:48:29.280 --> 00:48:31.520 shalt not commit murder. 00:48:31.520 --> 00:48:33.920 I presume we're using that numbering. 00:48:34.160 --> 00:48:37.120 I mean you could also bring up theft realistically if you wanted 00:48:37.120 --> 00:48:40.720 to. I don't think that you can call it a gone over 00:48:40.720 --> 00:48:41.520 this before. 00:48:41.520 --> 00:48:45.600 However, I think it comes with the enormous caveat because usually when 00:48:45.600 --> 00:48:48.160 I've been answering that question, it's been just abstracted out to a 00:48:48.160 --> 00:48:50.320 purely theological question. 00:48:50.320 --> 00:48:56.800 Under present circumstances, I think that miscegenation is virtually always a sin. 00:48:56.800 --> 00:49:02.080 And that is because it is virtually because at least one of 00:49:02.080 --> 00:49:05.520 the parties to that marriage, and we'll be generous here and say 00:49:05.520 --> 00:49:09.440 it's a marriage, is doing it out of hatred for his or 00:49:09.440 --> 00:49:13.440 her own bloodline, for his or her own race, and that's sinful. 00:49:13.440 --> 00:49:17.440 And so the desire to do the thing is sinful, the thing 00:49:17.440 --> 00:49:18.320 is sinful. 00:49:18.320 --> 00:49:21.440 I think that's virtual these days. 00:49:21.440 --> 00:49:26.320 So like I've said before, give the sort of the easiest example, 00:49:26.320 --> 00:49:32.240 right? Abstracted out historical if a European man had decided in you 00:49:32.240 --> 00:49:37.120 know, whatever century you want to pick, not modern, but centuries ago, 00:49:37.120 --> 00:49:39.120 that he really wanted to convert the 00:49:40.240 --> 00:49:41.360 To Christianity. 00:49:41.360 --> 00:49:44.720 He really wanted to convert the Koreans to Christianity. 00:49:44.720 --> 00:49:48.320 And he went there and married a local woman, and then his 00:49:48.320 --> 00:49:51.200 line continued to marry back into that population. 00:49:51.200 --> 00:49:53.760 I think that would have been morally permissible. 00:49:53.760 --> 00:49:56.640 Should you Should you do it today, given everything that we know 00:49:56.640 --> 00:49:59.120 about genetics and incompatibility and organ 00:50:00.320 --> 00:50:04.160 and mental illness and psychological problems, and the list just goes on 00:50:04.160 --> 00:50:05.120 and on and on. 00:50:05.120 --> 00:50:09.760 No. I think today is utterly unjustifiable and should not be done. 00:50:09.760 --> 00:50:14.000 And that is particularly true when you're talking about greater distances, right? 00:50:14.000 --> 00:50:17.600 So for instance the African and the Europeans, that's the greatest distance. 00:50:17.600 --> 00:50:19.840 I think that it is always sinful. 00:50:20.080 --> 00:50:22.960 I don't think you can find circumstances under which it is not 00:50:22.960 --> 00:50:24.160 going to be sinful. 00:50:24.160 --> 00:50:27.520 It is more wicked in some cases than others, but I would 00:50:27.520 --> 00:50:30.960 not be willing to say that it is per se sinful, because 00:50:30.960 --> 00:50:35.760 I don't think the thing in itself absent the circumstances is sinful. 00:50:35.760 --> 00:50:39.120 And so right the difference here is per se versus per quote. 00:50:43.680 --> 00:50:49.120 sinful, but in reality as a practical matter, it's basically always sinful 00:50:49.120 --> 00:50:52.720 today because of the reality of the circumstances and the intent of 00:50:52.720 --> 00:50:58.320 the individuals who would be doing it. 00:51:05.440 --> 00:51:10.160 See, question thirteen, and then I need to renumber some things here 00:51:13.360 --> 00:51:17.120 For non Europeans who have been in America for generations, do you 00:51:17.120 --> 00:51:19.520 recommend they stay and marry within their own race 00:51:20.640 --> 00:51:23.440 to the country of their ethnicity? 00:51:25.680 --> 00:51:28.720 Because we should live among our own. 00:51:28.720 --> 00:51:30.400 That is how God designed us to live. 00:51:30.400 --> 00:51:34.240 It's how He it's obvious from the fact that's how things work. 00:51:34.240 --> 00:51:37.840 If you just reproduce naturally, you're going to reproduce people who look 00:51:37.840 --> 00:51:40.880 like you, you're going to create a society. 00:51:40.880 --> 00:51:45.280 And it is harmful to have aliens in your presence because 00:51:46.400 --> 00:51:50.000 there's just a thousand different things that are harmed by having people 00:51:50.320 --> 00:51:52.640 who are not your people in your lands. 00:51:52.640 --> 00:51:56.240 And living in lands of a foreign people is also harmful to 00:51:56.240 --> 00:51:57.360 the individual. 00:52:00.240 --> 00:52:01.840 The pages of scripture. 00:52:01.840 --> 00:52:02.640 When God 00:52:03.680 --> 00:52:06.960 punished we'll say for instance, when he punished Judah, right, with the 00:52:06.960 --> 00:52:11.440 Babylonian exile, having to live among foreigners was a curse. 00:52:11.440 --> 00:52:14.480 Having to have foreigners live among you is a curse. 00:52:14.480 --> 00:52:15.280 And And so 00:52:16.240 --> 00:52:21.200 those who are living in nations of foreigners their home lands and 00:52:21.200 --> 00:52:22.000 live there. 00:52:22.000 --> 00:52:23.200 That's how it should be. 00:52:23.200 --> 00:52:24.880 That's the way that's the goal. 00:52:24.880 --> 00:52:26.800 That's the way things should be. 00:52:26.800 --> 00:52:28.960 Now obviously there are some considerations, right? 00:52:29.200 --> 00:52:31.280 You can't just pick up and leave tomorrow. 00:52:31.280 --> 00:52:33.120 There's logistical concerns. 00:52:33.120 --> 00:52:34.960 I recognize that. 00:52:34.960 --> 00:52:38.800 But given the way that things are trending, I think it's better 00:52:38.800 --> 00:52:39.200 to do it 00:52:40.080 --> 00:52:43.840 later because the amount of time to plan it and do it 00:52:43.840 --> 00:52:48.240 in a way that is orderly and optimal may narrow as the 00:52:48.240 --> 00:52:51.840 political landscape and the political discourse changes. 00:52:51.840 --> 00:52:55.360 But yes, people should return to their own homelands. 00:52:55.360 --> 00:52:57.920 I don't think it's wrong to have you know tourism in some 00:52:57.920 --> 00:52:59.280 cases. Depends on 00:53:00.400 --> 00:53:03.040 you don't you don't want tourists from certain areas, but some from 00:53:03.040 --> 00:53:04.960 other countries are certainly fine. 00:53:04.960 --> 00:53:08.800 But yes, we're people should actually live should be in their own 00:53:08.800 --> 00:53:10.720 lands among their own people. 00:53:21.680 --> 00:53:24.480 I do not know if I will get to all of the 00:53:24.480 --> 00:53:27.440 questions in the chat this week because there are a lot of 00:53:27.440 --> 00:53:32.400 them. I will try to copy them into my ongoing and lengthening 00:53:32.400 --> 00:53:33.920 notes. But 00:53:37.040 --> 00:53:39.840 Answer a a few more questions, I think. 00:53:40.400 --> 00:53:45.840 Fourteen. What are your thoughts on financially supporting missionaries who are outside 00:53:45.840 --> 00:53:47.600 traditional Protestantism? 00:53:47.600 --> 00:53:50.960 And apparently in this case he's actually asking about Baptists. 00:53:50.960 --> 00:53:53.920 And I know that makes Baptists mad sometimes, but Baptists are not 00:53:53.920 --> 00:53:55.440 traditional Protestants. 00:53:55.440 --> 00:53:58.880 You are the the edge of the radical Reformation. 00:54:01.360 --> 00:54:05.760 I think for supporting missionaries generally, it's going to depend on what 00:54:05.760 --> 00:54:09.840 it is they're doing and why, and you know, could this be 00:54:09.840 --> 00:54:13.120 done in a better way by someone else? 00:54:13.120 --> 00:54:18.160 So historically, and the reason to bring up the same thing I 00:54:18.160 --> 00:54:19.840 mentioned in the previous question 00:54:21.440 --> 00:54:26.880 really more question twelve than question thirteen, but the man historically, the 00:54:26.880 --> 00:54:30.240 European man, who went to some Asian country and worked as a 00:54:30.240 --> 00:54:33.920 missionary there and maybe intermarried among the people, et cetera, et cetera, 00:54:33.920 --> 00:54:38.080 part of the reason that he did that is you just logistically 00:54:38.080 --> 00:54:39.200 couldn't bring say 00:54:40.400 --> 00:54:45.760 Japanese over and train them or send them materials or set up 00:54:45.760 --> 00:54:47.520 a university for them. 00:54:47.520 --> 00:54:50.080 That's not a problem today. 00:54:50.080 --> 00:54:55.440 We should be supporting if we're supporting these individuals working to convert 00:54:55.440 --> 00:55:00.000 people to Christianity, we should support their own people in doing that. 00:55:00.000 --> 00:55:04.160 A Korean missionary should be trying to convert the Koreans to Christianity 00:55:04.400 --> 00:55:06.160 because there are Korean missionaries. 00:55:06.480 --> 00:55:08.400 There are Korean Christians. 00:55:08.400 --> 00:55:12.400 A Japanese Christian should try to convert the Japanese to Christianity. 00:55:12.400 --> 00:55:15.120 It should be their own people doing it these days. 00:55:15.120 --> 00:55:18.400 Because we just don't have to send our people to do it, 00:55:18.400 --> 00:55:19.200 and it's not even 00:55:20.080 --> 00:55:20.560 that anymore. 00:55:20.880 --> 00:55:22.560 It causes problems. 00:55:22.560 --> 00:55:22.880 So 00:55:23.920 --> 00:55:28.320 as far as supporting missionaries go, I wouldn't even support most foreign 00:55:28.320 --> 00:55:30.880 missions at this point because I think by and large it's a 00:55:30.880 --> 00:55:34.080 tourism industry and it's doing more harm than good. 00:55:34.080 --> 00:55:39.200 It's reinforcing false beliefs about racial differences, about the reality of 00:55:40.160 --> 00:55:43.280 about how we should interact with foreign peoples. 00:55:43.280 --> 00:55:45.440 It just causes a lot of problems. 00:55:45.440 --> 00:55:48.080 I don't think it's something we should still be doing. 00:55:48.080 --> 00:55:50.960 Incidentally I also think the Great Commission was already fulfilled. 00:55:50.960 --> 00:55:53.040 So and that is a traditional Lutheran belief. 00:55:54.640 --> 00:55:56.480 believed it was fulfilled in the time of the apostles. 00:55:56.480 --> 00:56:00.480 It was certainly fulfilled during say colonialism. 00:56:00.480 --> 00:56:04.080 So I don't think we even have that obligation anymore. 00:56:04.080 --> 00:56:07.440 Should we still want other peoples to convert to Christian of course, 00:56:07.440 --> 00:56:10.000 because we want everyone to convert to Christianity. 00:56:10.000 --> 00:56:12.800 But we can do that by training their own people. 00:56:12.800 --> 00:56:17.520 The exception would be there are obviously races, there are groups of 00:56:17.520 --> 00:56:20.560 people who can't produce their own tea. 00:56:20.560 --> 00:56:23.120 They need to be colonized, if anything. 00:56:23.120 --> 00:56:28.320 Don't send foreign missionaries, so in this case our people over there. 00:56:28.320 --> 00:56:29.680 That's not going to work. 00:56:29.680 --> 00:56:31.840 It's going to cause problems. 00:56:31.840 --> 00:56:32.960 Don't do that. 00:56:32.960 --> 00:56:35.920 So I would not I just wouldn't support foreign missions at this 00:56:35.920 --> 00:56:37.040 point, period. 00:56:37.760 --> 00:56:43.760 unless you're talking about foreign missions of foreigners who are evangelizing their 00:56:43.760 --> 00:56:46.000 own people of but that's not really a foreign mission, right? 00:56:46.000 --> 00:56:50.320 That's a domestic mission in a foreign country. 00:56:50.320 --> 00:56:55.600 So that I would support sending our people over to other countries? 00:56:55.600 --> 00:57:00.480 No. Unless of course you're calling it say, you know and you're 00:57:00.480 --> 00:57:02.560 saying it's a foreign country because it's France. 00:57:02.720 --> 00:57:05.200 I I would be fine with that, support a French missionary. 00:57:05.200 --> 00:57:09.280 But again, you could support French Christians and have them do it. 00:57:09.280 --> 00:57:11.280 You don't need to send Americans over to do that. 00:57:11.280 --> 00:57:14.720 The French are perfectly capable of teaching Christianity, as are the Germans 00:57:15.040 --> 00:57:16.480 and the British and the Scottish. 00:57:33.280 --> 00:57:37.920 Question fifteen if the new earth is just a recreation of the 00:57:37.920 --> 00:57:39.200 Eden situation 00:57:40.240 --> 00:57:44.000 in the new resurrection as it clearly existed in Eden. 00:57:44.000 --> 00:57:44.320 So 00:57:48.560 --> 00:57:50.720 I don't know if I want to just direct you to my 00:57:50.720 --> 00:57:54.720 previous comments on this, but I guess I'll go over it again 00:57:54.880 --> 00:57:57.360 because it's a question that comes up a lot and it's worth 00:57:57.360 --> 00:58:01.680 revisiting. Christ speaks 00:58:02.640 --> 00:58:02.960 of 00:58:04.560 --> 00:58:07.360 marriage, right, in the new creation. 00:58:07.360 --> 00:58:14.400 First off, remember that he's speaking to the Sadducees and also 00:58:15.520 --> 00:58:19.200 Christ enjoys sarcasm and he enjoys 00:58:20.160 --> 00:58:23.040 people. So, you know, people who think that mocking someone is always 00:58:23.040 --> 00:58:23.600 wrong, right? 00:58:23.600 --> 00:58:24.880 Oh, you can't mock someone, that's what 00:58:26.400 --> 00:58:28.320 Christ mocks people. 00:58:28.320 --> 00:58:30.160 So God mocks people. 00:58:30.160 --> 00:58:33.280 If you think you can't mock someone, you better get over yourself. 00:58:33.280 --> 00:58:38.480 So he's what he says specifically, right, is that they are neither 00:58:38.640 --> 00:58:39.280 they neither 00:58:40.240 --> 00:58:42.080 are given in marriage. 00:58:42.080 --> 00:58:46.240 Does he say there is no marriage? 00:58:46.240 --> 00:58:47.280 The answer is no. 00:58:47.280 --> 00:58:48.960 He doesn't say there's no marriage. 00:58:48.960 --> 00:58:52.560 He says that they neither marry nor are given in marriage. 00:58:52.560 --> 00:58:55.040 So there are two ways you can interpret this. 00:58:55.040 --> 00:58:56.560 And I think that it's completely 00:58:57.520 --> 00:59:00.640 ridiculous when I may as well p I've got it on my 00:59:00.640 --> 00:59:02.000 screen so may as well pull it up. 00:59:02.000 --> 00:59:05.600 I think it's completely ridiculous when people take from this that marriage 00:59:05.600 --> 00:59:09.520 doesn't exist because the creation of male and female doesn't make any 00:59:10.000 --> 00:59:12.400 sense if marriage no longer exists. 00:59:12.400 --> 00:59:14.400 Why would you have male and female? 00:59:14.400 --> 00:59:18.560 Now granted, there were some very weird cultic groups in the early 00:59:18.560 --> 00:59:19.200 centuries that 00:59:20.080 --> 00:59:23.200 will become men, and that's why marriage doesn't exist. 00:59:23.200 --> 00:59:26.480 They were carrying that over from the ancient Greek philosophers who thought 00:59:26.480 --> 00:59:31.760 that women were basically just extremely damaged men and that everyone in 00:59:32.400 --> 00:59:34.880 their version of paradise would be male 00:59:37.440 --> 00:59:39.360 But at any rate, right, you have the 00:59:40.480 --> 00:59:42.400 this question trying to trap him, right? 00:59:42.400 --> 00:59:45.440 We have the the brother who dies and then his wife, lever 00:59:45.600 --> 00:59:47.440 at marriage, you have the second and the third and blah blah 00:59:47.440 --> 00:59:48.800 blah on down down to the seventh. 00:59:48.800 --> 00:59:52.640 They all die I and then you know whose wife will she 00:59:52.640 --> 00:59:57.440 be? Christ mocks them with his answer, like I said, You are 00:59:57.440 --> 00:59:59.360 wrong because you know neither the scripture 01:00:00.240 --> 01:00:04.560 God, for in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in 01:00:04.560 --> 01:00:06.960 marriage, but are like angels in heaven. 01:00:06.960 --> 01:00:09.600 As for the resurrection of the dead, have you not read what 01:00:09.600 --> 01:00:11.440 was said to you by God? 01:00:11.440 --> 01:00:13.200 And so on and so forth. 01:00:13.200 --> 01:00:15.360 So I think marriage still exists. 01:00:15.360 --> 01:00:18.000 I think you just don't marry and you aren't given and there 01:00:18.160 --> 01:00:21.280 the distinction there is a man woman is given in marriage, a 01:00:21.280 --> 01:00:22.640 man marries. 01:00:23.120 --> 01:00:24.640 We should maintain that distinction. 01:00:24.880 --> 01:00:26.000 It's a good thing to maintain. 01:00:26.000 --> 01:00:29.120 It gets people in the right mindset of understanding the distinction between 01:00:29.120 --> 01:00:32.720 men and women, the difference between the sexes, particularly with regard to 01:00:32.720 --> 01:00:35.360 marriage, where it's sort of salient. 01:00:35.440 --> 01:00:35.760 But 01:00:36.880 --> 01:00:39.520 I think marriage exists, but I think that it is 01:00:40.480 --> 01:00:45.040 the person who is perfect for you, you're married, you don't marry, 01:00:45.040 --> 01:00:48.560 you aren't given in marriage because that is the state for eternity. 01:00:48.560 --> 01:00:50.800 I think that is how it's going to be. 01:00:50.800 --> 01:00:54.080 Because I think that lines up with marriage being a good thing, 01:00:54.080 --> 01:00:57.760 it lines up with the design of male and female. 01:00:57.760 --> 01:01:02.960 And God isn't going to something that was so important that when 01:01:02.960 --> 01:01:05.600 he spoke of Adam in the garden, Adam who walked with God 01:01:06.160 --> 01:01:07.920 spoke to him face to face. 01:01:07.920 --> 01:01:10.960 God said it's not good for man to be alone. 01:01:10.960 --> 01:01:14.320 That's how important having a wife and how important God viewed marriage. 01:01:14.320 --> 01:01:16.240 So I don't think it's going to pass away. 01:01:16.240 --> 01:01:18.480 I think he's just mocking the Sadducees. 01:01:18.720 --> 01:01:22.720 And high in what he said, but you have to work for 01:01:22.720 --> 01:01:24.080 it a little bit. 01:01:24.080 --> 01:01:24.400 So 01:01:25.360 --> 01:01:27.600 I think the people who try to take this and say, oh 01:01:27.680 --> 01:01:32.000 well there's no marriage in paradise are completely insane and don't understand 01:01:32.000 --> 01:01:35.360 anything about God or human nature. 01:01:35.360 --> 01:01:36.960 I think they're ultimately Gnostic. 01:01:36.960 --> 01:01:38.880 I think that the kind of people who think that like sex 01:01:38.880 --> 01:01:39.280 is ick 01:01:40.800 --> 01:01:45.440 and so they think that in the resurrection we'll just be genderless 01:01:45.520 --> 01:01:46.240 or something. 01:01:46.640 --> 01:01:47.760 it's completely absurd. 01:01:47.760 --> 01:01:51.840 It's ultimately Gnostic and I think it's wicked to believe that way. 01:01:51.840 --> 01:01:54.880 So Obviously yes, it requires some exegesis. 01:01:54.880 --> 01:01:58.640 It's not blatantly bluntly or blatantly stated, but I think it's pretty 01:01:58.640 --> 01:02:03.440 obvious. You read scripture enough that you kind of understand what Christ 01:02:03.440 --> 01:02:06.000 is doing when he's replying to different groups. 01:02:24.960 --> 01:02:28.480 Uh I'm going to collect a couple questions here for next time 01:02:28.560 --> 01:02:30.880 because I don't think I'm going to answer them this time. 01:02:30.880 --> 01:02:33.040 Let me see if I can pull out something that's a little 01:02:33.040 --> 01:02:37.200 shorter. Answer a few more maybe. 01:02:41.040 --> 01:02:44.240 Just trying to add things to my list so that I don't 01:02:44.160 --> 01:02:54.320 miss them for next time. 01:03:00.160 --> 01:03:01.760 Question about Vlad the impaler. 01:03:01.760 --> 01:03:04.720 I think I'll save that one for next time. 01:03:04.720 --> 01:03:07.920 That's always fun to discuss, but I I don't think that I 01:03:08.720 --> 01:03:11.600 know enough about the specific question to answer it right now. 01:03:16.800 --> 01:03:18.640 Someone asked about actually 01:03:20.240 --> 01:03:22.160 paste this into my show notes. 01:03:22.160 --> 01:03:23.360 Question 16. 01:03:23.360 --> 01:03:27.040 What are your thoughts on the July 4th Patriot Front footage going 01:03:27.040 --> 01:03:28.720 viral? I think it's a good thing. 01:03:28.960 --> 01:03:32.800 I've said before, I think that they are doing good work. 01:03:32.800 --> 01:03:36.000 I think that they are a good group. 01:03:36.000 --> 01:03:38.560 I think that they have a good approach. 01:03:38.560 --> 01:03:42.720 I think that folks the Americana, as it were, is an essential 01:03:42.720 --> 01:03:47.360 part of any successful movement in the American context. 01:03:47.360 --> 01:03:52.000 I recently published an article about on july fourth of course, about 01:03:52.000 --> 01:03:56.880 symbols and the importance of symbols and things like that. 01:03:56.880 --> 01:04:01.200 And so I'll add that to the show notes and go read 01:04:01.200 --> 01:04:02.800 that since it touches on 01:04:03.760 --> 01:04:06.000 this particular topic right. 01:04:06.000 --> 01:04:08.400 There are symbols that are that matter that we need to have, 01:04:08.400 --> 01:04:10.400 and one of those is indeed the American flag. 01:04:10.400 --> 01:04:14.560 And I think it's very important to I don't know why OBS 01:04:14.560 --> 01:04:15.200 refuses 01:04:16.480 --> 01:04:18.080 to load 01:04:20.400 --> 01:04:20.720 it always 01:04:27.840 --> 01:04:28.800 There we go. 01:04:28.800 --> 01:04:32.480 I don't know why it has that problem resolution, but I think 01:04:32.480 --> 01:04:35.440 that it has to be part of the American nationalist movement. 01:05:00.400 --> 01:05:03.520 I don't like the Christian flag that much, but you know, they're 01:05:03.600 --> 01:05:07.120 the symbols of Christianity are still used by wicked men. 01:05:07.120 --> 01:05:09.840 It doesn't mean that we abandon them because wicked men are using 01:05:09.840 --> 01:05:13.840 them. It means we reclaim them and we stop the wicked men 01:05:13.840 --> 01:05:14.960 from using them. 01:05:14.960 --> 01:05:17.440 So I think that they're doing good things. 01:05:26.400 --> 01:05:29.120 Which state's system is not based on common law. 01:05:29.120 --> 01:05:32.000 And of course it's Louisiana because they inherited their legal system from 01:05:32.000 --> 01:05:33.040 the French. 01:05:33.040 --> 01:05:33.360 So 01:05:35.600 --> 01:05:38.080 but I don't know if that was for the chat or for 01:05:38.080 --> 01:05:40.960 me. I won't make that one up. 01:05:58.320 --> 01:05:59.520 I've answered this one 01:06:00.480 --> 01:06:04.160 briefly. What issues do you have with Wells and someone who's not 01:06:04.160 --> 01:06:08.080 happy with the LCMS and yeah they'll they're both a mess right 01:06:08.080 --> 01:06:12.240 now. For those who don't know, the two really conservative synods of 01:06:12.240 --> 01:06:17.920 Lutherans in the American context are the LCMS and Wells, WLS. 01:06:17.920 --> 01:06:19.120 So So the issue with well 01:06:20.640 --> 01:06:25.440 issue. They get the doctrine, the theology of the office of the 01:06:25.440 --> 01:06:28.960 ministry wrong, and they do that in part for historical reasons. 01:06:28.960 --> 01:06:30.640 It's one of those things where groups split. 01:06:30.640 --> 01:06:35.840 Sometimes they say it's for this reason and then they double down 01:06:36.160 --> 01:06:39.280 into error because they want to have some sort of 01:06:40.320 --> 01:06:42.720 split, even though their split wasn't a good one. 01:06:42.720 --> 01:06:45.040 Wells did that with the office of the ministry. 01:06:45.200 --> 01:06:50.000 I think the EO did that with the Filioque because the fact 01:06:50.000 --> 01:06:53.600 that the Spirit proceeds from the Sun is obviously true from Scripture. 01:06:53.600 --> 01:06:57.440 They didn't like the way that that was added to the Creed, 01:06:57.440 --> 01:06:59.440 because the Western Church just 01:07:00.320 --> 01:07:02.000 them and involving them. 01:07:02.000 --> 01:07:02.320 So 01:07:03.360 --> 01:07:07.600 was there a sort of structural issue with how it was done? 01:07:07.600 --> 01:07:11.200 Sure. We didn't do it the right way through the right channels. 01:07:11.200 --> 01:07:14.720 But the doctrine's still right, and that's what ultimately matters there. 01:07:14.720 --> 01:07:18.160 But for Wells, the issue is going to be that if Wells 01:07:18.160 --> 01:07:19.280 goes off fully and 01:07:20.800 --> 01:07:24.480 they will do it faster and more thoroughly than the LCMS. 01:07:24.480 --> 01:07:27.920 So maybe you find a good congregation. 01:07:27.920 --> 01:07:29.600 It's kinda like the LCMS, right? 01:07:29.600 --> 01:07:31.920 There are good congregations, there are bad congregations. 01:07:31.920 --> 01:07:34.560 If you have a good one near you, great, go ahead and 01:07:34.560 --> 01:07:37.360 attend. The fact that they're wrong in the office of the ministry, 01:07:37.360 --> 01:07:39.200 the theology of that really 01:07:40.320 --> 01:07:40.800 at all. 01:07:40.800 --> 01:07:42.720 They probably won't even teach on it. 01:07:42.720 --> 01:07:46.960 That's really a question for, you know, pastors and theologians and the 01:07:46.960 --> 01:07:50.800 seminary, so I think it's fine attending at a Wells Church if 01:07:50.800 --> 01:07:53.520 you happen to have a good one near you. 01:07:53.600 --> 01:07:55.440 Take a sip my drink, actually. 01:08:02.320 --> 01:08:05.440 Since it's since it's sitting over there, it's not just window dressing. 01:08:11.520 --> 01:08:14.720 I'm going to leave the question about communism until next time because 01:08:14.720 --> 01:08:17.040 that is going to be involved. 01:08:17.040 --> 01:08:20.960 I know that I am collecting a list of questions, but eventually 01:08:20.960 --> 01:08:23.360 I will make time to answer them. 01:08:44.880 --> 01:08:46.320 Let's see. 01:08:46.320 --> 01:08:48.240 Okay, I'll answer. 01:08:48.240 --> 01:08:49.680 Uh the chat scrolled. 01:08:49.680 --> 01:08:50.800 Okay, there we go. 01:08:50.800 --> 01:08:53.760 I was copying a two-part question and the chat scrolled on me, 01:08:53.760 --> 01:08:55.920 and I couldn't find the second part for a second. 01:08:55.920 --> 01:08:57.520 Question eighteen. 01:08:57.520 --> 01:09:01.920 My church consistory is trying email voting for the election of office 01:09:02.080 --> 01:09:07.360 bearers. In their opening argument, they have denied that election is an 01:09:07.360 --> 01:09:14.480 exercise of authority, and say that election is only advisory for consistory, 01:09:14.480 --> 01:09:15.600 not binding. 01:09:15.600 --> 01:09:17.760 Is this legitim? 01:09:18.320 --> 01:09:19.280 It's absurd. 01:09:19.280 --> 01:09:19.600 So 01:09:20.480 --> 01:09:23.040 how could one argue against it? 01:09:23.040 --> 01:09:23.360 So 01:09:25.680 --> 01:09:28.960 your fundamental problem here, right, is that they get headship wrong. 01:09:28.960 --> 01:09:32.320 And if they get headship wrong, they are not going to agree 01:09:32.320 --> 01:09:34.320 with you on really anything. 01:09:34.320 --> 01:09:37.680 And I assume that you probably have a lot of baby boomers. 01:09:37.680 --> 01:09:39.680 This is generally how this goes. 01:09:45.520 --> 01:09:48.400 So, can you mount a strong argument? 01:09:48.400 --> 01:09:55.120 Absolutely. There are quite sound arguments, easy to follow logically, against permitting 01:09:55.120 --> 01:09:57.920 women to vote in anything in the church. 01:09:57.920 --> 01:09:58.080 And And 01:10:00.160 --> 01:10:03.200 is are they going to be persuaded by reason? 01:10:03.200 --> 01:10:05.200 I think the answer is probably no. 01:10:05.200 --> 01:10:07.760 If they can be persuaded by reason, then by all means you 01:10:07.760 --> 01:10:09.600 can bring up any number of things, right? 01:10:09.600 --> 01:10:11.760 What does God tell women to do in the churches? 01:10:11.760 --> 01:10:13.120 Be silent. 01:10:13.120 --> 01:10:15.040 Does that permit them to vote? 01:10:15.040 --> 01:10:16.800 No. So 01:10:18.160 --> 01:10:18.480 what 01:10:20.160 --> 01:10:21.440 when you elect a leader? 01:10:21.440 --> 01:10:25.280 You're electing the person who will exercise authority on behalf of the 01:10:25.280 --> 01:10:29.120 group. Well, if you are voting for him, then all you are 01:10:29.120 --> 01:10:31.760 doing is abstracting that out one step. 01:10:31.760 --> 01:10:35.840 And so those who vote for the leader are exercising that leadership 01:10:36.400 --> 01:10:37.600 by proxy. 01:10:37.600 --> 01:10:39.200 And so, yes indeed, you 01:10:40.240 --> 01:10:43.360 already wrongfully if you are a woman and you are voting in 01:10:43.360 --> 01:10:44.320 the church. 01:10:44.320 --> 01:10:47.520 Now if your church now as an aside, if your church has 01:10:47.520 --> 01:10:51.600 voting and permission And permits women to vote, then by all means 01:10:51.760 --> 01:10:55.600 you should vote exactly how your husband tells you because otherwise you're 01:10:55.600 --> 01:11:00.080 throwing away a vote that could otherwise be spent usefully, right. 01:11:00.080 --> 01:11:03.680 In politics, wives should follow their husbands when it comes to voting 01:11:03.760 --> 01:11:08.240 because if they just abstain, that's foolish, you're throwing away the opportunity. 01:11:08.240 --> 01:11:09.840 At least at the local level, right? 01:11:09.840 --> 01:11:12.080 Local elections can matter. 01:11:12.080 --> 01:11:16.720 So the arguments against it are sound can be taken directly from 01:11:16.720 --> 01:11:19.360 scripture in most cases, but 01:11:20.480 --> 01:11:22.720 thing is really the core of it, but you have to explain 01:11:22.720 --> 01:11:26.560 headship, so maybe go listen to the Stone Choir episode on headship 01:11:27.040 --> 01:11:27.360 to 01:11:30.320 --> 01:11:33.520 But like I said, it's going to come down to whether or 01:11:33.520 --> 01:11:36.080 not they are willing to listen to reason and willing to listen 01:11:36.160 --> 01:11:36.880 to scripture. 01:11:36.880 --> 01:11:39.280 And I think the odds are very likely 01:11:40.240 --> 01:11:44.960 or else they would never have put forward such a resolution. 01:11:44.960 --> 01:11:46.960 That doesn't mean you don't make the argument. 01:11:46.960 --> 01:11:50.880 You make the argument, you give them the chance, and maybe you 01:11:50.880 --> 01:11:52.640 are giving them the chance to 01:11:53.600 --> 01:11:55.280 condemn themselves, right? 01:11:55.280 --> 01:11:59.920 To deepen their sin, to refuse to repent. 01:12:00.160 --> 01:12:07.680 That's the case. 01:12:08.400 --> 01:12:13.440 A follow up question for the question about missions the person is 01:12:13.440 --> 01:12:20.080 asking about domestic missionaries, but they have anabaptist view. 01:12:20.080 --> 01:12:24.960 I would probably try to find someone who is a domestic missionary 01:12:25.120 --> 01:12:28.320 whose views align with what you believe about the faith, so that 01:12:28.320 --> 01:12:32.400 you're not troubling your conscience by funding something you disagree, something you 01:12:32.400 --> 01:12:33.680 think is false. 01:12:33.680 --> 01:12:34.000 So 01:12:35.360 --> 01:12:40.240 Find a group that is doing domestic missionary work with whom fund 01:12:40.400 --> 01:12:41.440 them instead. 01:12:41.440 --> 01:12:43.360 Your tithe doesn't have to go to your local church. 01:12:43.360 --> 01:12:46.720 Your tithe can go to some other Christian institution, some other Christian 01:12:46.720 --> 01:12:50.560 teacher, and that's great news these days because many churches are faithless 01:12:50.640 --> 01:12:53.360 and maybe you don't want to fund your local church because it's 01:12:53.360 --> 01:12:54.560 doing evil things. 01:13:06.240 --> 01:13:10.880 Copy a few more questions for the future before I lose them. 01:13:17.280 --> 01:13:20.640 I do see I want to make note this time for the 01:13:20.640 --> 01:13:22.240 person who asked. 01:13:22.240 --> 01:13:25.600 The question about why have you forsaken me, I have that in 01:13:25.600 --> 01:13:26.160 my notes. 01:13:26.160 --> 01:13:27.760 I will try to address that next time. 01:13:27.760 --> 01:13:29.600 It's going to take a little bit of time to address it, 01:13:29.600 --> 01:13:31.680 so I don't wanna do it tonight. 01:13:50.880 --> 01:13:54.960 Think I Think I will answer one more question for 01:13:56.880 --> 01:13:58.240 this episode. 01:13:58.240 --> 01:14:02.480 And it's another question twenty's a good number on which to end. 01:14:02.480 --> 01:14:02.800 So 01:14:03.920 --> 01:14:08.800 the chat cut off the end of your question, but I have 01:14:08.800 --> 01:14:11.360 the core of it, so I think I'm probably good. 01:14:11.440 --> 01:14:14.800 I have been thinking about submitting an application to Patriot Front since 01:14:14.800 --> 01:14:17.040 I heard you recommend it as a good organization. 01:14:29.120 --> 01:14:33.440 Paganism. I get the sense most of the members are Christians, that 01:14:33.440 --> 01:14:35.280 is definitely correct. 01:14:35.280 --> 01:14:38.160 But what do you make of this less than ideal aspect of 01:14:38.160 --> 01:14:42.000 Patriot Front as a nationalist? 01:14:42.000 --> 01:14:47.680 And then whatever your second question was, the something, I don't know 01:14:47.760 --> 01:14:49.920 if it's the chat, the plug-in, whatever, something cut it off so 01:14:49.920 --> 01:14:50.320 I don't. 01:14:50.320 --> 01:14:53.440 So I'll just answer the the portion that I have at least. 01:14:53.680 --> 01:14:56.400 Yes. Patriot Patriot Front is 01:14:58.000 --> 01:14:59.280 not necessarily 01:15:00.800 --> 01:15:02.960 I know that their material what their materials say. 01:15:02.960 --> 01:15:04.960 I have a copy of it here somewhere. 01:15:04.960 --> 01:15:07.440 I went to their national gathering. 01:15:07.440 --> 01:15:10.560 That's I guess it's pretty much public knowledge at this point. 01:15:10.560 --> 01:15:12.320 I spoke with him. 01:15:12.320 --> 01:15:13.920 We didn't really discuss religion. 01:15:13.920 --> 01:15:18.320 However, I think he'd be fine with me saying that I gave 01:15:18.320 --> 01:15:22.080 him a challenge and I said that the string attached was at 01:15:22.080 --> 01:15:25.120 some point in the future we're going to have a discussion about 01:15:25.120 --> 01:15:29.280 religion. So maybe that'll give you some hope for the future. 01:15:29.280 --> 01:15:32.400 But I understand why he's doing what he's doing, right? 01:15:32.400 --> 01:15:37.120 It's in the vein of many, many men down through history. 01:15:37.120 --> 01:15:39.280 You know, Hitler basic 01:15:40.320 --> 01:15:45.200 the Protestants and the Roman Catholics keep your squabbling somewhere else. 01:15:45.200 --> 01:15:47.760 We don't need it in the political movement. 01:15:47.760 --> 01:15:52.960 Bismarck told the Protestants and the Roman Catholics Keep your squabbling somewhere 01:15:52.960 --> 01:15:54.880 else, we don't need it in politics. 01:15:54.880 --> 01:15:58.240 The Prussian Union was him telling the Lutherans and the Reformed to 01:15:58.240 --> 01:15:59.760 stop squabbling. 01:16:00.480 --> 01:16:05.600 Religious infighting is a very difficult thing in a political movement, and 01:16:05.600 --> 01:16:08.800 it can send things off the rails very easily. 01:16:08.800 --> 01:16:12.880 So I understand why men who want to focus on the political 01:16:13.360 --> 01:16:14.480 don't necessarily 01:16:15.360 --> 01:16:20.160 want to deal with religion, right? 01:16:20.160 --> 01:16:20.480 So 01:16:22.480 --> 01:16:26.560 I don't think that it is something that you can entirely avoid. 01:16:26.560 --> 01:16:30.720 And the reason for that is very simple and also very complex. 01:16:30.720 --> 01:16:31.840 But I'll give the simple answer. 01:16:31.840 --> 01:16:36.960 The simple answer is this a nation is blood, soil, 01:16:37.840 --> 01:16:43.440 myth. Part of myth is religion. 01:16:43.440 --> 01:16:49.280 Your nation and your religion are identical to a certain extent, so 01:16:49.280 --> 01:16:54.240 you can't actually ignore the religion issue, the religion question forever. 01:16:55.440 --> 01:16:59.440 I recognize again what these men are doing, what Rousseau is doing 01:17:00.240 --> 01:17:01.680 wants to do that. 01:17:01.680 --> 01:17:05.440 I don't even think he's necessarily wrong. 01:17:05.440 --> 01:17:05.760 But 01:17:07.040 --> 01:17:09.760 eventually the matter will have to be decided. 01:17:09.760 --> 01:17:13.440 Now the goal, of course, is to win politically and then we 01:17:13.440 --> 01:17:15.920 can, you know, go back to having our infighting because that will 01:17:16.080 --> 01:17:16.960 that's just humanity. 01:17:16.960 --> 01:17:19.280 There will always be divisions among you brothers, right 01:17:23.680 --> 01:17:26.000 I don't think that 01:17:27.280 --> 01:17:30.400 ultimately the nationalist movement in the U.S. 01:17:30.480 --> 01:17:34.000 that is successful will be able to avoid religion entirely, and Patriot 01:17:34.000 --> 01:17:35.360 Front doesn't. 01:17:35.360 --> 01:17:38.640 They had a crucifix for their march. 01:17:38.640 --> 01:17:39.440 They're not 01:17:40.720 --> 01:17:43.440 But like I said, I I do know that most of the 01:17:44.320 --> 01:17:45.840 organization is Christian. 01:17:45.840 --> 01:17:47.120 Most of the members are Christian. 01:17:47.120 --> 01:17:48.880 Many of them are Stone Choir listeners. 01:17:48.880 --> 01:17:51.600 Many of them are probably listening to this as well. 01:17:51.600 --> 01:17:54.480 They follow me on X and elsewhere. 01:17:54.480 --> 01:17:59.360 I think that ultimately the Christian portion, and it is the major 01:18:00.160 --> 01:18:03.760 the nationalist movement will win out, and I think that the pagans 01:18:03.760 --> 01:18:07.760 will come back into the fold as they see a more masculine, 01:18:07.760 --> 01:18:14.240 traditional Christianity take over from the moribund wicked organizations that are all 01:18:14.240 --> 01:18:16.640 dying out anyway. 01:18:16.640 --> 01:18:19.280 So I think that the problem will by and large solve its 01:18:20.080 --> 01:18:22.160 diehards here and there, but that's inevitable. 01:18:22.400 --> 01:18:26.160 There are always individuals who are outliers in that way. 01:18:26.160 --> 01:18:28.800 So I think join the organization, I think it is a good 01:18:28.800 --> 01:18:30.800 thing, and recognize what you're doing. 01:18:30.800 --> 01:18:34.000 As a Christian, you're just tilting that scale a little bit further 01:18:34.000 --> 01:18:34.880 in our direction. 01:18:34.880 --> 01:18:36.400 So that's a good thing. 01:18:36.640 --> 01:18:39.280 But like I said, it's a discussion that 01:18:40.400 --> 01:18:43.280 at some point it's not something can be avoided. 01:18:43.280 --> 01:18:44.480 It is important. 01:18:44.480 --> 01:18:46.640 I'm actually writing an essay on it right now. 01:18:46.640 --> 01:18:49.120 It's in a notebook down here, half written. 01:18:49.120 --> 01:18:51.920 Hopefully I'll get that published this coming week. 01:18:51.920 --> 01:18:52.240 But 01:18:54.400 --> 01:18:58.240 I don't think that it's going to be a big deal that 01:18:58.240 --> 01:18:59.360 they write now 01:19:00.240 --> 01:19:04.080 religious pluralism as it were, I don't think he's going to permit, 01:19:04.080 --> 01:19:05.920 you know, Hindus and Muslims, right? 01:19:05.920 --> 01:19:10.640 He's basically just saying, I recognize that a certain percentage of white 01:19:10.640 --> 01:19:13.520 men are fed up with the current state of the churches and 01:19:13.520 --> 01:19:14.880 have opted instead 01:19:20.240 --> 01:19:24.160 And they're still white men, they're still my brothers, they want what 01:19:24.160 --> 01:19:27.760 is best for their nation, and they're Christians as well, so he's 01:19:27.760 --> 01:19:30.400 just not dealing with the issue. 01:19:30.400 --> 01:19:32.160 I don't have that luxury, right? 01:19:32.160 --> 01:19:34.400 And I don't want to get into it too mo too much 01:19:34.400 --> 01:19:36.480 more deeply because like I said I'm writing an essay on it 01:19:36.560 --> 01:19:38.960 and I'd rather just publish that. 01:19:38.960 --> 01:19:39.280 I 01:19:40.960 --> 01:19:43.760 Because I'm a theologian and a teacher. 01:19:43.760 --> 01:19:46.640 And so I am going to answer to God for the things 01:19:46.640 --> 01:19:48.720 I say and the things I fail to say. 01:19:48.720 --> 01:19:52.880 I don't get to be the above the fray politician. 01:19:52.880 --> 01:19:55.600 I'm involved in politics too, so it's a bit of both in 01:19:55.600 --> 01:19:59.680 my case, but that's why I don't avoid the issue even though 01:19:59.920 --> 01:20:04.400 I would prefer if I were ecumenical and just dealt with the 01:20:04.400 --> 01:20:06.400 politics instead of dealing with the religion as well 01:20:08.880 --> 01:20:12.400 But like I said, join the organization, tilt it further in our 01:20:12.400 --> 01:20:14.960 favor with regard to the Christian membership. 01:20:14.960 --> 01:20:17.760 I think that's a good thing to do. 01:20:17.760 --> 01:20:20.720 But I think that will be last question 01:20:23.840 --> 01:20:26.720 I'll answer one more because I see it here. 01:20:26.720 --> 01:20:28.560 This always happens, doesn't it? 01:20:28.560 --> 01:20:30.880 To the person who said that two hundred and fifty is a 01:20:30.880 --> 01:20:33.600 better number to end on, I think my voice might actually give 01:20:33.600 --> 01:20:48.960 out if I tried to answer two hundred fift 01:20:48.960 --> 01:20:54.720 Obviously. Maybe I shouldn't have used this one since it's potentially involved, 01:20:54.720 --> 01:20:57.840 but at any rate we'll pull this up. 01:20:57.840 --> 01:20:59.600 Come on, Logos. 01:20:59.920 --> 01:21:02.320 Concerning the matters about which she wrote, it is good for a 01:21:02.320 --> 01:21:05.360 man not to have sexual relations with a woman note that that's 01:21:05.360 --> 01:21:06.880 a quote from the letter. 01:21:06.880 --> 01:21:10.080 But because of the temptation to sexual immorality, each man should have 01:21:10.080 --> 01:21:12.080 his own wife and each woman her own husband. 01:21:12.080 --> 01:21:14.640 The husband should give to his wife her conjugal rights 01:21:24.880 --> 01:21:28.720 Do not deprive one another except perhaps by agreement for a limited 01:21:28.720 --> 01:21:32.160 time, that you may devote yourselves to prayer, but then come together 01:21:32.160 --> 01:21:35.040 again, so that Satan may not tempt you because of your lack 01:21:35.040 --> 01:21:36.640 of self control. 01:21:36.640 --> 01:21:39.120 I think that's probably sufficient because really the 01:21:40.480 --> 01:21:42.880 Try to pull out is that the husband doesn't have authority over 01:21:42.880 --> 01:21:44.640 his own body, but the wife does. 01:21:44.640 --> 01:21:46.560 Which is true. 01:21:46.560 --> 01:21:50.160 Part of marrying is that you have conjugal duties to your wife, 01:21:50.160 --> 01:21:52.480 and you do not get to say, you know, I have a 01:21:52.480 --> 01:21:55.280 headache. At least not too many times. 01:21:55.280 --> 01:21:57.120 This almost never happens that way. 01:21:57.120 --> 01:22:00.000 It's usually the woman, not the man, who's doing this. 01:22:00.160 --> 01:22:00.880 Happens sometimes. 01:22:00.880 --> 01:22:02.080 There are men who do this. 01:22:02.080 --> 01:22:03.920 You don't have the option if you're married. 01:22:03.920 --> 01:22:06.800 You have duties to your wife that are physical duties, and you 01:22:06.800 --> 01:22:08.160 have to fulfill those. 01:22:08.160 --> 01:22:09.680 God's very clear about that. 01:22:09.680 --> 01:22:11.920 It's right here. 01:22:11.920 --> 01:22:15.680 But earlier in this very same episode, we read a verse that 01:22:15.680 --> 01:22:19.120 said the head of every wife is her husband. 01:22:20.160 --> 01:22:24.080 The husband is the head, he is in control, and it likens 01:22:24.080 --> 01:22:27.520 it to Christ being the head of the church, right? 01:22:27.680 --> 01:22:29.920 That's another verse from the one we read, but there is a 01:22:29.920 --> 01:22:32.240 verse that says says that as well. 01:22:34.080 --> 01:22:37.840 Does the church get to tell Christ what he gets to do? 01:22:37.840 --> 01:22:39.280 No. Does the church 01:22:40.240 --> 01:22:43.280 new rules, and Christ has to obey them. 01:22:43.280 --> 01:22:45.600 No. Christ is the head. 01:22:45.600 --> 01:22:47.120 He's the final say. 01:22:47.120 --> 01:22:48.400 He has the veto. 01:22:48.400 --> 01:22:49.680 He makes the rules. 01:22:49.680 --> 01:22:53.840 The same thing is true of wives with regard to their husbands. 01:22:54.000 --> 01:22:58.320 They submit in the way the church submits to Christ. 01:22:58.320 --> 01:22:59.920 And it's very obvious. 01:23:07.120 --> 01:23:09.680 Well, if you're supposed to submit as a wife to your husband 01:23:09.680 --> 01:23:13.520 the same way that everyone is supposed to submit to God, I 01:23:13.520 --> 01:23:15.280 don't think that there's any real way around that. 01:23:15.280 --> 01:23:17.040 It's not egalitarianism. 01:23:17.040 --> 01:23:19.200 This is just saying you're not allowed to 01:23:20.160 --> 01:23:20.800 your wife. 01:23:20.800 --> 01:23:23.440 That's literally all that it's saying here. 01:23:23.440 --> 01:23:26.080 So the husband doesn't have the authority to do that. 01:23:26.080 --> 01:23:30.400 And the reason he doesn't have that authority is because when you 01:23:30.400 --> 01:23:33.040 married, you handed over that authority. 01:23:33.040 --> 01:23:33.840 You gave it up. 01:23:33.840 --> 01:23:37.280 You had the option to be celibate. 01:23:37.280 --> 01:23:39.120 I mean, you don't really have the option, right? 01:23:39.120 --> 01:23:42.160 It's in this hypothetical sense. 01:23:42.160 --> 01:23:47.440 Like, once you marry, you've given up part of that autonomy to 01:23:47.440 --> 01:23:51.200 your wife in this specific s in this very specific case, this 01:23:51.360 --> 01:23:52.400 very specific sense. 01:23:52.400 --> 01:23:53.520 That's all it is. 01:23:53.520 --> 01:23:57.840 So anyone tries to use this for egalitarianism or anything like that 01:23:57.920 --> 01:23:59.120 or for feminism 01:24:00.400 --> 01:24:03.360 It's just saying you can't withhold sex from your wife. 01:24:03.360 --> 01:24:07.040 That's all it's saying. 01:24:07.040 --> 01:24:10.320 But you know, those people are going to obviously hate the passages 01:24:10.320 --> 01:24:14.000 that say wives submit to your husbands, particularly when it's all things 01:24:14.000 --> 01:24:18.000 as unto the Lord. 01:24:26.160 --> 01:24:29.360 I think I've probably answered that I've definitely answered that many at 01:24:29.360 --> 01:24:29.760 this point. 01:24:29.760 --> 01:24:36.000 If I'm I don't know, a averaging around fifteen to twenty per 01:24:36.000 --> 01:24:39.200 week, then we're, you know, five, six hundred questions by now, I 01:24:39.200 --> 01:24:44.080 think. At any rate, thank you for those who contributed questions and 01:24:44.080 --> 01:24:45.440 for participating in the chats. 01:24:45.600 --> 01:24:48.320 Always great to be able to answer these. 01:24:48.320 --> 01:24:50.800 Try to do it every week, don't always make it every week, 01:24:50.800 --> 01:24:54.320 but winds up being Thursday or Friday, depending on how my week 01:24:54.320 --> 01:24:58.240 goes. It's been a busy week, so wound up being Friday this 01:24:58.240 --> 01:24:59.040 time. And 01:25:00.320 --> 01:25:03.440 I hope that you all have a good weekend, go out, do 01:25:03.440 --> 01:25:08.000 something. Hopefully go out and go out in the outdoors and don't 01:25:08.000 --> 01:25:11.280 meet the aforementioned bear from earlier in the episode. 01:25:11.280 --> 01:25:14.560 But go out and enjoy God's creation and then go to church 01:25:14.560 --> 01:25:15.680 on Sunday. 01:25:15.680 --> 01:25:18.960 So until next week, may God bless you 01:25:19.920 --> 01:25:22.560 and state all the ways you can submit questions because you've all 01:25:22.560 --> 01:25:24.640 heard it dozens of times by now and you can find it 01:25:24.640 --> 01:25:25.520 in the show notes. 01:25:25.520 --> 01:25:28.880 But God bless you and keep you safe until next week and 01:25:28.880 --> 01:25:30.400 go to church on Sunday. 01:25:30.400 --> 01:25:33.680 I will see you all on Thursday or Friday, depending on my 01:25:33.680 --> 01:25:34.480 week goes. 01:25:34.480 --> 01:25:35.520 God bless. 01:25:46.240 --> 01:25:46.320 you.
