Faith and Failure Podcast

.

0:04

What is up everybody ? So already

0:06

out of the gate . I see some people right

0:09

here who are upset

0:11

and they try to use Matthew . Jesus

0:13

was transgender . Okay

0:16

, let me squash that right now . No

0:18

, he wasn't . All right , that was easy , let's move

0:20

on . So that

0:22

even saying that is just blasphemous

0:25

and completely against Scripture . So

0:27

I don't know where you're getting your theology

0:30

, or actually , yes

0:32

, I do . Let me explain this . Just

0:34

a way to open up . First of all , welcome everybody

0:36

to the Faith and Failure Podcast and live

0:38

stream . I knew probably some

0:41

of the title that some of you saw would

0:43

get somebody heated pretty quick and guess what

0:45

? That's okay , because I am

0:47

a person , I am a pastor , who

0:49

desires to have open

0:51

dialogue and to show you up against

0:53

Scripture . Now , we have two

0:55

different ways of reading text and reading the Word

0:58

, and I appreciate , elijah , for

1:00

you know your comment , even

1:02

though I think you are 100% , completely

1:05

wrong . Now , how can I do that and still

1:07

love you ? Well , I understand , as

1:09

all of us have , at some point we can

1:11

read a text or a passage from Scripture

1:13

and we read into

1:16

what we want the text to say

1:18

from our perspective and how

1:20

we see life . That's called Isa

1:22

Jesus . A way to remember . That is I

1:24

. You're putting I in the text . Now , exegesis

1:27

is you are bringing out what is actually

1:29

in the text and what God had to

1:31

say in the text . You're not putting in what

1:34

your two cents is . You're not adding what

1:36

you want the Scripture to say

1:38

or what you believe . What you're doing

1:40

when you really study the Scripture and

1:42

you want to hear from God . You

1:44

set what you believe and what you think

1:46

aside and say Lord , what does

1:49

your Spirit say ? What does

1:51

your Scripture say ? And

1:53

that is called exegesis

1:55

. You are studying the Scripture according

1:57

to the original text , the intent

1:59

of the text , and looking at it in context

2:02

, instead of coming

2:04

from where you are and reading Scripture

2:06

. So that's okay . The

2:08

fact that you actually are citing Scripture means

2:11

you are reading it . I hope you continue to

2:13

read it and I hope the Spirit of God begins to pour

2:15

out on you in such a real way

2:17

that you cannot in

2:19

any fashion or way say

2:22

what you're saying now , because the Spirit of God

2:24

will convict you . I believe that's

2:26

how it works . At one point in time , I was a

2:28

person who didn't believe . I was a person

2:31

who was on drugs . I was a person who womanized

2:33

and people try to dissect

2:35

transgender and homosexuality

2:37

. But the Bible says that sexual

2:40

immorality if you are guilty

2:42

of that , no matter what little

2:44

branch you are part

2:47

of , you will not enter the kingdom . It's

2:49

not just one little part , one little thing . If you

2:51

do this , I as a pastor can't

2:53

have someone to come in and counsel and

2:55

say well , you're sleeping together

2:58

and that's okay , to follow your feelings

3:00

and do what you want to do . No , I'm

3:02

not going to say that . So why would I bend and

3:05

conform ? If someone chooses

3:07

homosexuality , it's sin . It's

3:10

against God's design , it's against God's nature

3:12

of how he designed us to be

3:15

. So that's what that is on the front end

3:17

of that . Now that we got that out

3:19

of the way , how y'all doing today ? Y'all doing

3:21

okay , everybody excited

3:23

for the show . So I wanted to start

3:26

the show off today with something

3:28

. So my wife , y'all know if you're watching

3:30

right now live . It is the holiday

3:32

, christmas season , and

3:35

one of the I don't know

3:37

the stats on it , but one of

3:39

the most overrated

3:41

not overrated , that may be a little strong one

3:44

of the most overplayed songs

3:46

. I think . It was written by a guy named Mark

3:48

Lowry and he's also a standup

3:51

comedian , christian comedian . He

3:53

wrote a song called Mary , did you Know ? My

3:55

wife does not like that song

3:57

, not because of the context , not because of the words

3:59

. It is a little dumb because , yes

4:01

, she knew she was told by an angel . But anyways , mary

4:04

Did you Know ? Okay , so

4:06

I am going to next

4:08

week . So the week of

4:10

the 20th , on the 21st

4:12

, we leave to go up north

4:14

. We go every year for Christmas break to see

4:17

my side of the family , because Jesse's

4:19

side of my wife's side of the family is around here . And

4:21

so we go and

4:25

we look , we visit my side

4:27

of the family . So my parents hold

4:29

on just a second , let me check my levels

4:32

just to make sure and so we go and we

4:35

perfect , all right . So

4:37

we go and we visit family . We

4:40

actually have a new baby . She's just over

4:42

a couple of months old and some side

4:44

of my dad's side of the family hasn't seen

4:46

her yet , and then some side of my mom's

4:48

side of the family hasn't seen her either . So we're gonna

4:50

go make our rounds . It's our first Christmas . We're

4:53

gonna go kind of just show her off

4:55

to everybody , because everybody needs to see her . She's

4:57

amazing and beautiful . So , that being

4:59

said . Speaking of Elijah , if

5:01

you're still watching , I don't know if you checked out or not but

5:03

you tell them my transgender and Jesus was transgender

5:06

. Okay , before we

5:08

ever saw a baby , the doctors

5:10

were able to tell by blood what

5:12

the gender of the baby was . Okay , I'm

5:14

no biologist , but that should tell you something . Not

5:17

bashing anybody , but we're

5:20

gonna watch it . Later down the road we're gonna watch a video

5:22

and it's a victim

5:24

mentality and it's trans-abled

5:28

is what they call themselves . So stick around

5:30

for that . At the end of this , end of this live

5:32

stream today , because it gets weird and

5:34

so because it's a holiday season , it's Christmas

5:36

time , I wanted to watch this . So

5:39

if you've ever heard of the Babylon Bee

5:41

, I highly recommend . They're extremely funny . They're

5:43

Christians . As far as their theology

5:46

, we're not gonna get all into what exactly they believe

5:48

, because I think they are a

5:50

multiple or a

5:53

mix of , I think , presbyterian

5:56

, you know whatever they got a bunch of different genres

5:58

of belief , but they all

6:00

believe that Jesus is the

6:02

one true son of God . So it's

6:04

not really a salvation issue , it's more of a preference

6:06

. So I wanted to start today's

6:09

live stream off . You know I like comedy

6:11

. You know , like we've actually watched some of the videos before

6:13

. This is extremely hilarious

6:15

and it fits both the

6:18

Christmas holiday spirit and

6:20

the 2024 election

6:22

spirit , which we're gonna touch on some of that today . Some

6:25

of y'all have asked me specifically in

6:27

person , face to face of people that I know , and

6:29

you've also . Some of you have emailed me and

6:32

you've asked hey , what

6:35

do you think about Trump , what do

6:37

you think about the election , what is

6:39

your opinion and how do you see things ? So today I'm

6:41

gonna kind of dive in deeper on that From

6:43

my church and my perspective . I don't teach

6:45

politics . I actually instruct my

6:48

leaders to not get they

6:50

can have a political opinion , obviously but

6:52

to demonize a certain political views

6:55

and it makes the body

6:57

become very messy very quickly

6:59

. So I don't really endorse

7:02

that . There's a special condemnation

7:04

from God to all who deny the

7:07

foulest creative purpose for men and women . They're

7:09

. You know it's sad , but there

7:12

is several verses in the Bible where

7:14

it talks about God gave

7:17

them over to their lustful desires and

7:19

I feel like in these last days

7:21

we're seeing more and more

7:24

and more of things that are

7:26

pointing to Jesus is coming

7:28

soon and that's

7:31

, I believe , that's why there's such a perversion on truth

7:33

, because truth will have to be so

7:35

perverted and so twisted for

7:37

the antichrist to actually take over . Because

7:39

if we're all believing good , we're all believing right

7:42

, we're all living right , we believe we're

7:44

a godly nation . You know , everybody's

7:46

on the side of God and everybody believes the Bible

7:48

. There's no room for the antichrist

7:50

because people would recognize that

7:53

evil and I really think a

7:55

lot of the churches down South

7:57

are plagued by not

7:59

recognizing actually what evil is which

8:02

will be on another live stream I got that one cooking , anyway

8:04

so I wanted to scary how

8:06

perverted the truth has become

8:08

. Yeah , like it's seriously

8:10

, truth has become something

8:13

that's more subjective instead

8:15

of something that is

8:17

a constant standard

8:19

. That's why it's so important , as Christians , to

8:22

know the word of God , so that

8:24

you can measure up

8:26

what you're hearing and measure it up

8:28

to the word of God . I've actually been doing a

8:31

series on the gifts of the Spirit

8:33

and prophecy is one of those , and the

8:35

Bible tells us that when we hear prophecy

8:37

because you're gonna be made a post the other day on

8:39

my Facebook , feel free to go follow All

8:41

the links are down in the description that there's

8:44

gonna be a lot of profits

8:46

in 2020 , at the end of 2023

8:49

, in the new year of 2024 , saying

8:51

this and that , and a lot

8:53

of them are false prophets that

8:55

just are just trying to be in the

8:58

limelight , trying to be on social media , trying to get likes

9:00

, trying to get money . Anyways , we're not diving into that . So

9:02

, for the holiday season , I thought this

9:04

video was very fitting and

9:07

it made me laugh , and so I wanted

9:09

9:11
