Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to the three Stories version of The Todd Herman Show.
Story number one, snap fraud should be great for Jesus
and families, Story number two, should life saving be legal?
And story number three, Yeah, but which Jesus. We'll talk
about this all with the help of God Almighty.

Speaker 2 (00:20):
But Todd Herman Show is one percent disapproved by big pharma,
technocrarats and tyrants everywhere from the high mountains of Free America.
Here's the Emerald City exile Todd Herman.

Speaker 1 (00:44):
Today is the day the Lord has made, and these
are the times to which God has decided we shall live.
And I'm going to say something that might be strange,
and that is that snap fraud should be a really
great thing for Jesus and families. And I know that's
a strange thing. And God is in the habit of

(01:04):
using bad for good, particularly in the lives of Christians.
This is something that he does on a consistent basis
to use bad for goods. He used the bad of
Peter turning his back on him when Peter denied Christ
three times, just as Jesus said he would. Jesus used
that as an opportunity to extend mercy to let Peter
experience mercy, to have him see this forgiveness that the

(01:28):
Lord forgave him, and then to have this incredible moment
where Jesus met Peter where he was at. Peter wasn't
able to say, Lord, I will always love you, I
love you like God loves it's unchangeable. He was able
to say, I love you as a brother. And Jesus
met him there, and that, of course, Peter matured as
a Christian to the point where he did love God unquestionably,
so much so he went to the cross, and tradition

(01:48):
tells us upside down because he didn't feel worthy of
being crucified right side up. So God uses bad for goods.
And there's tons of bad in the SNAP system, tons
and tons and tons of fraud. Here's just some examples.

Speaker 3 (02:02):
Hey, a congressional committee heard from a team of experts
who said that abuse of the SNAP program is widespread
and nationwide. This food stamp bust happened in April. Owners
of a small store hauled off in handcuffs, accused of
hundreds of thousands of dollars in fraud. In this Largo case,
an undercover cop called a store owner willing to pay
fifty cents on the dollar.

Speaker 1 (02:23):
For an EBT card and pin number.

Speaker 3 (02:25):
But it's not just a problem in Florida.

Speaker 4 (02:27):
Fraud and poor management undermine public support for this program.

Speaker 3 (02:31):
Ohio Auditor Dabos testified before the House Agricultural Committee today
about food stamp fraud in his state.

Speaker 4 (02:38):
We identified thirty six instances where dead people received benefits
more than a year after their death.

Speaker 3 (02:45):
He also shared how recipients hoarded benefits.

Speaker 4 (02:48):
One thousand, three hundred and thirty seven recipients with balances
greater than twenty three hundred dollars.

Speaker 3 (02:54):
One person had twenty thousand dollars. One card holder made
six purchases in an hour, totaling fifteen hundred fifty five dollars.

Speaker 1 (03:01):
As church communities, as a body of Christ, we have
a responsibility to see that the Greek widows are fed.
This began in the Book of Acts, and the Book
of Acts follows the Apostles. After Jesus went back to God,
what was God is?

Speaker 4 (03:15):
Was?

Speaker 1 (03:15):
It is God? But went back to heaven and one
of the things they set up was a ministry to
make sure the Greek widows ate. We modern Christians, we
don't have a skip on for that we don't get
a mulligan. We're called to do that as well. So
snap fraud is an opportunity for us to speak into
the lives of taxpayers. Let us do this, give us

(03:36):
the money, take the tax rite off by giving it
to churches. Now, I'm not here to say that churches
cannot become corrupt. Clearly, any human institution can become corrupt,
but churches are far harder to corrupt. First of all,
there's too many of us. Secondly, it's not the massive
numbers that you can hide fraud in with the federal government. Third,

(03:58):
when frauds found out at church is people are fired.
Elders step in, they fire people, and if an elder
is convicted of that, then he's kicked out of the church.
These are well run churches, so it's an opportunity for
us to say, look, we're better at it. And there's
something else that comes with this. When we give money
to people, people get to come to our churches and
they're being handed boxes of food from people who are

(04:21):
doing this because we love them. But why we haven't
met them Because Jesus loved us first. Because when we
see you, we are seeing someone made in God's image.
If we're in our right minds, or rather if we're
not in our minds, but in the spirit. If we're
in the spirit, we're seeing everybody who comes into our
food pantry as hey. You were created by God, You're

(04:41):
loved by God. Uniquely. He counted over your hair in
your heads. We'd love you to become a part of
the family of Christ. And if we can talk to
you about that, let us do that. But there's other
ways that this should be good for Jesus. It's good
because Jesus told us do not trust institutions. I mean,
the Bible says some trust in sherats and horses, others
trust in every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.

(05:03):
As for me, in my home, we will choose to
trust in every mouth that proceeds from the word that
proceeds from the mouth of God. So it's an opportunity
for us to show that as well, and for Jesus
to work in the lives with people who are committing
this fraud. This should be good for him on this front,
and he can use things for goods. Here's another example
of fraud, and this involves triple fraud. Well, double fraud.

(05:25):
Illegal immigrants broke the law to get into this country
and then went through instole our money through SNAP.

Speaker 5 (05:32):
A city on the screen in Franklin County Common Police Court,
Aanat Besgat, one of the three accused of stealing hundreds
of thousands of dollars out of Ohio Supplemental Nutrition Assistance
Program or SNAP you understand due to a language barrier,

(05:52):
a judge continued his case and the case of Dowena
Maria Baselon that involves five counts stating they engaged in
a criminal enterprise starting last summer to steal more than
one hundred and fifty thousand dollars worth of welfare benefits.
It's at that same time we're going to gentlemen on
godgeos Bisga crashed his minivan into a Columbus fire hydrant

(06:14):
and was rushed to OSU East. Officers couldn't find an
ID for Besga, and he was cited for not having
a driver's license.

Speaker 1 (06:24):
So there's multiple, multiple layers of fraud this second crime.
This is an opportunity for us to speak of the
disorder of our institutions. It's an opportunity for us Christians
to say you have to stop thinking government's going to
rescue and to the people who rely on SNAP, the

(06:44):
people who are not committing fraud, because there's tons of that.
I can show you others examples, but there's something very
specific we should say to the people who are relying
on SNAP, because there's people who are only able to
eat through these programs. It shouldn't be that way, but
it is. And this is where the harvest could be
biggest because we can do the fraud thing all day long.

(07:05):
I could go to a state that should be conservative,
it's becoming less and less so. South Carolina.

Speaker 6 (07:10):
Georgetown County charges after officials say she committed food SAMP fraud.
Thirty five year old Breonna Simmons is charged with fraudulent
acquisition or use of food stamps at more than ten
thousand dollars value that ten thousand dollars or more. Those
charges are coming from the state Department of Social Services
after officials say that Simmons fraudulently got nearly fifty seven

(07:32):
thousand dollars in Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits or SNAP benefits.
She has been released from the Georgetown County jail on
a five thousand dollars bond.

Speaker 1 (07:42):
Conservatives don't quote need Jesus to know that government is corrupt.
Anyone who's paying attention doesn't quote need Jesus to go
show that governments corrupt. But we do need to point
something out, and that is that it's always going to
be corrupt. You are not going to clean it up.
You may have some minor changes, you may have some
major changes. You may go through and sweep out an
entire department of the deep state, like USAID. And then

(08:05):
you know, the USAID people came back and they're now
pretty much admitting that they're running a color revolution or
insurrection against President Trump. They're basically admitting that. We don't
need Jesus to tell us that we can refer to
his word. And the Bible warns us about people like this.
It warns us about human kings. But I wanted to
speak to the people who rely on snap. See, this

(08:27):
is the most fertile ground for us to make disciples,
because when people are in need and they don't know
they're in need, they think their needs are being fulfilled,
that's an awesome opportunity for outreach. And I'll tell you
of one case where I know that's happened in fact,
multiple cases, but one in particular that bore enormous fruit
for an entire family, and it had to do with

(08:49):
snap benefits getting hard to get. We have this opportunity
in our country right now to help hollywoods come to
terms with the fact that there's new games in town
that were not completely relying on them, that, in fact,
great Christian filmmaking can really succeed and change lives. There's
a new movie called Disciples in the Moonlight from Angel Studios,

(09:11):
and it tells a story that Hollywood wouldn't tell. I mean, sure,
they'll tell stories about dancing being banned. Remember Footloose, how
was a silly movie? Or there's this small tom pasture
and dancing was banned that was actually shot down in
a town in Utah been to still look, it's replayed, guys,
you're still learning royalties from that kind of a silly plot.
You could look at the plot of Disciples in the

(09:32):
Moonlight and say, oh, that's silly, that's conspiracy stuff. It's
about people smuggling Bibles in the United States because Bibles
have been banned. Now when you watch it, you're gonna
get excited. I mean, they're being pursued by a DHS
type agent. You want them to get away with their mission.
Eleven of them are really good people. One guy's not
a particularly good dad. Then there's another dude. You'll learn
about him, and not everybody succeeds in the mission. You'll

(09:54):
also learn about a fake Bible in this movie that
sounds a lot like the fake Bibles of today. This
one coming from government, government giving money to produce fake
Bibles in this country right now dei Bibles where God
is neither male nor female. So Angels in the Angel
Studios with Disciples in the Moonlight tracks this, But this
stuff is happening now. The Bible is considered a hate

(10:16):
speech in many countries. So go watch this. It's called
Disciples in the Moonlight. Go to Angel dot com slash herman,
that's Angel dot com slash Herman. Watch Disciples in the
Moonlight and become an Angel Guild member. Then you're not
just watching, you're helping to see Christian movies like this
produce brave Christian filmmaking. Angel dot com slash Herman. When

(10:37):
you look at the disciple making world and you understand
that sometimes when people are at their greatest need, that's
when they're most open the Jesuses. It shouldn't be that way.
It shouldn't require us to be on our knees to
be open to God. But when people get it to
this point of desperation, that's very often when this happens.
I know of a family who now goes to church
and they've got a fruitful relationship with God, and it

(10:58):
began with this. It began with a snapguard. The pin
didn't work. They didn't have food, so they had to
go through the process of trying to get this reset
through the federal government. You know, that can be very difficult.
And they live in North Idaho, and they weren't some
of the people. They weren't people defrauding Snap. They looked
at it as the only way they were able to eat.

(11:19):
At that point, Dad made a horrible decision. Mom did
what she could. She was raised to be a mother.
She never had any specific job skills. I mean, she
could take care of a home, she can clean, and
she can cook, but she didn't have that resume that
she could present to say I've worked all these places.
So they were getting by on Snap while she was
going out to get job training and Snap didn't work,

(11:40):
so her son said to her, you know the place
I go to youth group. You know, they give us
pizza whenever we go, like, we get often free pizza,
and they give us free ice cream and stuff. I
wonder if they'd give us food. She said, well, I
couldn't go get free food. I said, I'm going to ask.

(12:02):
So he came to youth group and he asked one
of the pastors and sat down and said, hey, we're
having a problem. There's this guy in our family. And
the past says, oh my gosh, well a hey, let's
go shopping tonight and I'll get some food for you guys,
and we'll just make sure you take that home. I'll
go pick some up tonight. So this just make sure
you're not hungry tonight. But yeah, absolutely have your mom

(12:23):
come in see. If she doesn't, we just end up
using the food at church. Right, if we have ever
asked extra food to the kitchen, we wind up using
the food in church to feed people here or our staff.
So please please have her come in and we would
consider it an honor. So when she walked into the church,
she was expecting it to be like a government food pantry,

(12:44):
and that's not what she encountered. She encountered people laughing,
She encountered people embracing and talking and praying. And when
she came in, she had the advantages of having met
this pastor who got to know her son. And while
she was standing in line to get the food, she
got to talk with this pastor who said, you know what,
we have such a fun time working with your son.

(13:05):
He's such a joy to us, and we really feel
like he's leaning into gods. And let me ask you,
would you consider coming to church with him. That began
the process of this woman coming to church, which began
the process of her meeting people who didn't care that
she didn't have the resume. They cared that she'd raised
a family. They cared that she had the skills of

(13:26):
taking care of a household and the skills of cooking,
which became a job, which has become a career, which
has become a restaurant and has become a family restaurant
where the rest of the folks work. See, you can
know it's God when something like that happens in that order,
And it began with doubt. The snap fraud should be
a massive opportunity for Christians. Story number two Should life

(13:51):
saving be legal? Seems like a ridiculous question, utterly, utterly insane.
Should it be legal to save a lot? And it
sounds completely rhetorical, and yet it's not. Should it be
legal to save a life? There are biblical roots to this.
You know, when Jesus was curing this sick he often

(14:13):
did this strategically. He did it in a way to
show the pharisees for what the pharisees had become. He
didn't have to go heal for instance, the man who
was paralyzed and sat next to that pool, or should say,
lay next to that pool. You know this story, right,
This happened in the Bible. So there was a man
who was a paralytic, and he lay next to this

(14:34):
pool of water, and at certain times the water would
bubble up, and the belief was if you were among
the first to get in the water, then the gods
would heal you. And he'd been doing this for a
long long time. Now it's pretty hard for a paralytic
to get in and out of the water, so oftentimes
he never even got in the pool, certainly not first.
And yet he never gave up on this. He had
faith in the pool and One day Jesus came by

(14:57):
and Jesus saw this. He saw this paralytic, so he
went to him and he said, the most remarkable thing,
do you want to be healed? See Jesus, when interacting
with people, always wanted them to have buy in. Do
you want to be healed? Yes I do, Lord, Yes
I want to be healed. And Jesus healed him, told
him to get his mat and walk away, and when

(15:17):
he did that, he did this on Sabbath. I'm not
supposed to do this, and he said, don't tell anybody.
But the man ended up getting interviewed by the Pharisees
and they wanted to know what happened, and he told
him this man healed me. So when he was interviewed,
of course he was talking about what happened. And then

(15:38):
when told other people what happened. And it wasn't at
Jesus's time, But one of the problems that Jesus had was, way,
you can't go run healing people on the Sabbath on holidays.
You can't do this. He did this more than once.
He fixed the hand of a man, a man at
a crippled hand, and he fixed it in the synagogue
he interrupted the reading to fix this man's hands, and

(16:02):
the leaders there, their tectocratic religious leaders, were furious, and
Jesus said, look, who view if you had an animal
stuck in a pit, say a farm animal stuck in
a pit on the Sabbath, would let it stay there,
or even that of your neighbor, You'd go get it out.
My father requires mercy, not sacrifice. That's what he values.

(16:22):
So should it be legal to heal? I'm asking this
for a very specific question for a pretty interesting guy
who made a pretty amazing statement about his cancer. I'll
explain this in just a second. It's not always he
legal to heal. The best way in America right now,
it's literally not. For instance, I can't believe this, but
Southern Mexico Port of Arta Rede Healthcare has world class

(16:45):
healthcare using stem cells. Their stem cells come from women.
They know because the doctors and the staff there monitor
their pregnancies and their health, and the team pays for
the people the women to go through their pregnancy. They
monitor the health of the baby and the woman after pregnancy.
When they get the stem cells. This is the placenta
and the bilical cord. They only use the Wharton's jelly

(17:06):
little portion from the umbilical cord. They walk it about
five minutes, if that probably more like three into a
world class lab. They look at the stem cells and
then they culture the very best, meaning they reject eighty
to ninety percent of them. That's what they use in
your body to keep you from knee surgery, to replace
your cartilage, to repair tendon muscle, to solve things like

(17:26):
traumatic brain injury. Let's compare that to the United States.
The stem cells you get here come from whoever they've
been frozen for, however long they've been shipped around in
whatever container, and whatever percentage of them are a chronic Hey,
did the people who gave you the stem cells have
good health?

Speaker 7 (17:46):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (17:48):
Did they get the mr N injections?

Speaker 7 (17:49):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (17:50):
Well down in Mexico, you know all these things. If
you are ailing and you're being told it's pills or surgery,
you're just gonna have to live with it. Stop. Go
to renew or e you dot healthcare and ask them
if they can help you. It's renew r E n
U E dot healthcare.

Speaker 2 (18:06):
You know.

Speaker 1 (18:06):
Scott Adams. Scott Adams was the guy who invented Dilbert
Scott Adams has announced that he is facing his end
and he's been talking about wanting to get some experimental
treatments because he has cancer. And he made a statement
about this on his live stream.

Speaker 7 (18:23):
But I feel like, uh, a lot of things went
in motion. Say so, I was contacted by Don Junior,
who was literally in Africa. He's in Africa on a Sunday,
and Don Junior is calling me and saying, I'm on this, yeah,
my father, My father wants me to, you know, get

(18:45):
this done. Then Bobby Kennedy calls me. Bobby Kennedy calls
me like, what could I do? What's the situation? Doctor
Oz calls me, doctor Oz, what's the situation? How could
I help?

Speaker 1 (19:00):
Oh? My god?

Speaker 7 (19:02):
And then you may have seen that President Trump best
president ever, he posted he posted my message to him.
That was actually yesterday. It was a public message and
he just said on it, on it, he was so
on it.

Speaker 1 (19:19):
Oh my god.

Speaker 4 (19:19):
It was the ait.

Speaker 1 (19:20):
This should be no reason in the world that a
man who's been told he's dying from cancer shouldn't go
be able to try any experimental treatment he wants. The
only reason they don't do this, they don't allow it
is number one. They want to pretend they're concerned about liability. Honestly,
Pharma that got a waiver for you know what, for

(19:40):
you know how long they're concerned about liability. The right
to try should be across every possible formula. After all,
Jesus showed us it should never be against the law
to heal. Story number three. Yeah, but which Jesus? Which Jesus?
There is a poll out that shows that the number

(20:05):
of people percentage of people who believe that religion is
losing influence is down quite a bit and gaining influence
is up quite a bit. And the poll went across
all sorts of demographics, White Evangelical Protestants, white Protestants, not evangelical,
Black Protestants, Catholic, Jewish, religiously unaffiliated, atheists, agnostic, nothing in particular, Republican, lean,

(20:29):
Republican Democrat, lean Democrats, ages eighteen twenty nine, thirty through
forty nine, fifty through sixty four, sixty five plus, and
pretty much across the board. People agree that religion is
now gaining influence, and this comes from Pew. In February
twenty twenty four, eighty percent of people thought religion was
losing influence, eighteen percent thought it was gaining influence. This

(20:53):
is among US adults in February twenty twenty five. Sixty
eight percent say it's losing influence down twelve points, and
those points have just about transferred over to the other sides,
and then some gaining influence, so they gained a point,
probably the unknowns. And again across the spectrum the demography
and religion and politics, people seem to agree that religion

(21:15):
is gaining influence. Now for some people, this is terribly frightening,
because God forbid Christians get in charge. True Christians who
understand that you can't force Christianity on people using laws
and be a Christian understand that Christian nationalism can never
be force. It can be electing Christian people who want

(21:37):
to have the light of God shine through them, who
want the Holy Spirit ter reign, whose votes will be
informed by their Christian faith. They can't vote for anything
that blatantly violates the word of God. And God never
goes out and forces, well Jesus doesn't. He will every
need will bow, and every tongue will confess. There will

(21:59):
be a day that that's happens. But I'm not even
sure that's through force. I think when Jesus comes back,
you're gonna have a lot of people who have been
abiding with Christ. If you are post trip a biding
with Christ, and we're going to stand up and say, oh,
praise God, he's here. Look, Jesus is king. And then
we'll get tour these oh Lord, oh Lord, oh Lord,
when a lot of other people are going to go,
oh wait, oh no, they were right, Jesus is lord.

(22:24):
Oh my oh oh oh, I mean needs bowing you,
your lord, your lord. I'm sorry, And then we're in
the tribulation if you like it that way. Now there's
one other indicator, one undercurs of interesting bit of data,
and this is about us influence and religion being true.
It also comes from Pew. Now this begs a question, Yeah,

(22:46):
but which Jesus or which God? Will start there in
just a second. Clearly, clearly this is a war. Clearly
it's spiritual warfare. Clearly everything is spiritual, and spiritual warfare
is pervasive. It's across all fronts. It's in your home,
it's in your business, it's in your friendships, it's in

(23:06):
your job. And if you are, say a combat warrior man,
it's stick. My friend Tim Krukshank fought a war in Babylon, well,
a battle within a war. He was a medica attached
to the seal teams and one of his three deployments
was literally fighting in Babylon, and yeah, that hit him
pretty hard. When he was overseas fighting for US, he
put together a plan to create a coffee company that

(23:28):
would honor Navy seals. Because that's who he was. He
became a buds and structor iph. He came back, by
the way, So the Bone Frog brand, the picture of
the Bone Frog itself is reminiscence of a fallen seal.
That's what it stands for. The God Country Team thing starts,
of course with God Country Team. Can Tim considers family
team and his team team. Ten percent of proceeds from

(23:51):
this coffee company always go to the families of fallen
Navy seals. And Tim couldn't possibly put junk coffee into this,
so he recruited a coffee legend named Dave Stewart to
mentor his team on the roasts and to even make
some of themselves go look at all the roasts, All

Americans say that only one religion is true. There is
only There's no truth in any religion is six percent.
There's little truth in any religion is eighteen percent. Only

(24:33):
one religion is true is twenty six percent, forty eight percent.
Many religions may be true. So let's take this in reverse.
If you're polytheists, there you go. Many religions can be true.
So if you think there's more than one God, have
at it. Then many religions can be true. Now is
there more than one God? Well, there are parts of

(24:54):
the world where there's no gravity. I love it. I
take it a vacation sometimes New Zealand because they don't
have gravity there. And now, I don't know if you've
ever done this, but the seconds across the border you
can float. Plus the animals have wheels, and that's pretty cool,
like if you've seen a giraffe with wheels. Super fun.
To watch them speed around and ride them and you
steer them. Well, wait, that's not true. Wait aren't there

(25:17):
parts of the world where people have gills? No, oh,
there's parts of the world where people love to go
out and be stolen from. No. No, there's not some
great war going on with a bunch of gods each
having their own little part of the fiefdom of earth.

(25:37):
That's clearly not happening. Now, there's good and evil. Anybody
can see that. So wouldn't that leave us then with
the monotheism monotheistic faiths. Let's go with the three major
monotheistic face what are called the abramcfaiths. So you have Judaism, Islam, Christianity.
So Judaism was there first, and then christian and then Islam.

(26:01):
So let's go at this in order. So Judaism shares
some roots with Christianity. Jesus was a Jew. He went
to synagogue, he preached in the temple, and then he
departed from that. He was still Jewish, but he came
and said, I am the Messiah, the Son of God.

(26:23):
And he showed this to be true throughout the Bible,
and much of this is still in the Torah and
the Jewish religious texts. There are prophecies about Jesus. He's
fulfilled some twelve hundred of them. There's others to be fulfilled.
The mathematical odds of one guy fulfilling all of these
is insanely low. Even on things like where he was born.

(26:43):
Jesus didn't control where he was born or his lineage.
He didn't control that, and it's difficult to fake in
a culture that made a big effort to track lineage.
Jesus died and was raised, and it's not just his
followers who saw that. There were people who went home
and spoke of it. There was a change society. There
were people scared hiding away from the tectocratic Jewish religious authorities,

(27:05):
and the Romans convinced that they too would be unalived
if they spoke of Jesus. And then three days after that,
when they'd seen him alive, they went and preached in
front of five thousand men, probably fifteen thousand people, publicly
saying I refused to change my story about Jesus. Eleven
of them were unlived. They couldn't quite unlive John because

(27:25):
they just couldn't get the job done. And to the ends,
none of them none of them came off the story
that Jesus was in fact raised from the dead. Now,
on the other hand, with the Jewish faith, they've ignored
the scriptures of prophecy. They expected a militant, a military

(27:46):
leader of zi Messiah, even though we know that we
would have a suffering Messiah, even though we knew that
he would have the hair pulled from his beard, that
he would be slapped, that he would be put up high,
that he would be pierced for our transgressions. So I
discount that because I believe Jesus proved themselves to be

(28:08):
the Messiah. Now Islam, on the other hand, Islam was
warned about We were told that there would be false prophets.
We were told that they would arise. We were told
that they would be making promises of being angels. Well,
my understanding is Mohammed said, an angel came and told
him the true story, that Jesus was just a prophet.

(28:31):
Jesus was just one of many prophets here to foretell
the coming of all law. And yet Islam gets just
about everything wrong about Jesus ch chronologically where he's from,
et cetera. They get just about everything wrong Furthermore, if
you look at what Islam teaches in terms of our
relationship with an almighty, do you observe an almighty that

(28:53):
has created a world filled with lies? I mean, if
you go and run off the edge of a cliff,
you're going to fall because gravity is a fact. Do
you see a bunch of head fakes in nature? I
don't think we observe a god who created a world
that's filled with lies. And yet in Islam we're told
it's okay to lie if it's to get one over

(29:14):
on the gentiles or the enemies of Islam. Islam is militant.
Do you see a god that's super, super, super excited
about hurting human beings? I mean, yes, storms happen, bad happens,
but all the time. No, the majority of time, things
are good, in fact, very very good. If our earth
was one degree off in our rotation, everything would end.

(29:38):
If the planets were one degree off, everything would end.
If you screwed up the mix of oxygen and hydrogen
in the world, everything would end. God is keeping all
things in order, all things in place, and the Bible
tells us this. So twenty six percent of Americans say
that only money religion is true, and I think we
could boil this down to the Christian faith. Well, so
then we're good. Yeah, but what's Jesus? See, this is

(30:02):
what the modern heretics have done if they's caused us
to ask this question, which Jesus is it? The Jesus
who was raised Jewish, who read the law and the Torah,
who came to fulfill the law, and when he wanted to,
he changed the law. He changed his standards. It's not
what goes in a person's body, but what comes out

(30:23):
that defiles them. When the law was being abused, Jesus
called it out.

Speaker 2 (30:27):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (30:27):
He did tip over the tables of the temple. He
did bring out a whip. My father's house is not
a farmhouse. He did correct people. My father requires mercy,
not sacrifice. He wasn't shy about coming along and saying,
you guys are abusing the law. Let me correct this
for you. He did go through a series of things
where he said you have heard it said that, But

(30:48):
I tell you on topics of sexuality, Jesus always raised
the bar every single time you've heard you shall not
commit adulty. But I tell you, a man who looks
at a woman with lust in his eyes has already
commit adultery. That's a raising of the bar. He did
the same thing with being angry with the brother. He
raised the bar. Sin is not just what you do,
it's in the mind. So what's Jesus? Is it that

(31:11):
Jesus says, yeah, you know what, do whatever. I'm all
just about love. I don't have any rules. Just be cool.
Just don't steal or hit people. Other than that, your
body's a playground. Now, Jesus purchased the bodies of Christians
with his own blood and his own torture and his
own sacrifice. He purchased us for every sin ever committed
or ever would be committed. So there's one Jesus. Just

(31:34):
this is one God, just as there's one way to
that one God. Jesus Christ said, I am the Way,
the Truth and the Life, and no one comes to
the Father but through me. So it's a good thing
that people recognize that there's only one religion can be true.
Now let's get down to the business of showing them
which one is the true religion and within that who
Jesus really is. This is the Todd Hermann Shaw. Please

(31:56):
go be well, be strong, be kind, and please make
every effort to walk in the light of Christ.
