Hello everybody, welcome to today's episode of
Walk With Me.
I'm your host, jj.
It's so good to have each andevery one of you and I know you
hear me say this every singleweek but I absolutely love and
appreciate each and every one ofyou.
Thank you for those who areliking and sharing and talking
about this in the various socialmedia groups.
Thank you all for yourquestions.
(00:21):
Thank you for your commentsgroups.
Thank you all for yourquestions.
Thank you for your comments,even the ones when you disagree
with me.
I say thank you to those too,because it helps me maybe
explain some things that maybe Ikind of grazed over, and it
helps me study, because we needto know what is right.
We don't just walk through orjust kind of stumble our way
(00:45):
into heaven.
We got to know what's right andwe have to make sure we avoid
false doctrine, because theBible speaks very strongly
against false doctrine.
So thank you all so much,because iron sharpens iron.
Thank you all so much.
Thank you, love you, each andevery one of you.
You could be listening to anyother Bible podcast, but you've
taken a few moments to listen tothis one and I appreciate that.
(01:09):
I thank God for each and everyone of you, because without God,
none of us would be here.
You wouldn't be listening tothis podcast.
So I thank God for each andevery one of you.
Thank God for my sponsorsExquisite Creations, iron Gate
Ministries and True Bar's,lyricist with the intro and the
outro.
(01:29):

some more music.

So I thank God for each one ofthose sponsors.
Thank God for you.
Thank God for God.
Thank God for each one of thosesponsors.
Thank God for you.
Thank God for God.
Thank God for salvation.
And you may have noticed alittle bit of a change in my
(01:51):
voice.
Something's happening.
Something's happening and Godhas taken us to a new level and
I appreciate that and I want allof you walkers to come along
with it, because we are all onthis journey together.
We are all on this journeytogether.
(02:12):
Even if you don't feel likeheaven is really going to be
your thing, we're still on thisjourney of life together.
So I want to see everybody inheaven, but we know that not
everybody is going to go.
I know that kind of sounds likea Debbie Downer.
But the whole idea is that we,each one of us, each one of you
(02:35):
walkers, each one of us, makeour calling and election.
Sure, we have to do what God isrequiring of us to get into
heaven, and the only way we'regoing to find out what that is
is by reading his instruction.
Those instructions are in theBible.
(02:55):
All right, and thank you for thequestion about the follow-up
question about where we got ourBible to, because it's gonna
inspire is is actually we'regoing to talk about the
inspirations of how we got ourBible.
We're going to just jump rightinto it.
You know a lot of people whenyou talk to them about the Bible
(03:18):
, and I used to get mad whenpeople say this, but I
understand what they mean.
I used to get mad when peoplesaid this, but I understand what
they mean.
I used to get mad and theywould say well, you know how do
you believe in a book that'swritten by man?
We talked about this last weekand I just get mad about it and
I'm not sure why I always got somad about it.
(03:39):
I just did, I just got so madabout it, but it is because the
man put the pen on the paper inmost cases.
There are a few cases whereGod's hand came out of thin air
and wrote on the wall, so wedon't want that because that had
(03:59):
a very bad scenario.
Hopefully I can get to thattoday, but 99.99% of the time,
god verbally inspired the wordof God, the Bible that you see
in your hand.
Now we're talking about theoriginal.
We're not talking about some ofthe translations.
We can talk about that becauseverbal inspiration means that
(04:24):
each word is inspired and thisis inspired in the original
writing.
Now, I get it.
Mistakes can be made by thetranslators, like if you
translate a word wrong orincorrectly, like we talked
about before, the word Easternot appearing in the original
(04:45):
text, but that word is Pascha,which is Passover, like those
kind of mistakes.
But that was not in theoriginal.
The original was verballyinspired.
The original was verballyinspired.
So if the Bible is verballyinspired, there can be no error,
because there can't be anyerrors, because God is God and
(05:09):
God doesn't make any mistakes,and I'm going to say this again
for the people in the back Goddoes not make any mistakes.
Even the mistakes that youthink God made.
God did not make any mistake,even the mistake that you think
God made, god did not make them.
Okay, now, on the other handand let's play the advocate here
, because I do believe in youknow, because God is a God of
(05:31):
reason as well, and so we haveto kind of think it through that
if, on the other hand hand,that the bible was not fully
verbally inspired, then theassumption that you would have
to make is that some parts wouldbe from god and then other
parts would be from people, andthen that's where how you would
(05:53):
end up with um errors, becausepeople are imperfect, you know,
and that's just the way thatgoes.
Now, if it's, if it's onlythought inspired, so we just
carry.
We just covered two differentinspirations one fully verbal
inspired, a partial verbalinspiration, and now a thought
(06:16):
only inspiration.
So if the thought only, if thethought itself is inspired, then
the Bible kind of contains theword of God, but not exactly in
its essence.
So, basically, you get athought and then you try to
write it down, but as you writeit down, you write it down in
(06:36):
your voice, which means it's nogood, it's an absolute error,
and this is how you end up withpeople thinking that there are
contradictions in the Word ofGod because they are taking
their interpretation of what wassaid and comparing it to
something else that was takenout of context.
(06:58):
That's how you end up with alot of these errors.
Now the Bible gives us reasonfor believing and understanding
and accepting that theseinspirations were done fully,
verbally.
A lot of scriptures in the Biblethat talk about it, and so
(07:18):
before we get into those,remember y'all, remember you
walkers, you walkers who've beenhere a while.
You guys know the rule, but youguys who are new here, we have
a rule on this podcast, and thatrule I'm going to tell you now
because we're about to go intoit.
That rule is when we talk abouta scripture, we'll often
(07:39):
truncate it through the time.
We have a limited amount oftime, so the assignment when we
talk about scripture is to reada verse or two above or a verse
or two below, but preferably theentire chapter.
Why?
Because context is key we werejust talking about.
Context is key.
(07:59):
Context is everything.
God is talking to you.
When you're talking to someoneelse, you know how many problems
get started because somebodyhears half a conversation and
this is just between person andperson, let alone if somebody
tries to read the Bible and onlyreads parts.
It just doesn't work very well.
Context is key.
(08:24):
So here's just a few of theexamples where the Bible tells
us how we are supposed tounderstand the inspiration of
God.
Now, in Moses we hear itwritten like this In Exodus,
chapter 20, god spake thesewords.
Exodus 24 and 4, moses wroteall the words of the Lord.
(08:49):
So in other words, the Lordsaid it, moses wrote it down.
Exodus 35 and 1, these are thewords which the lord has
commanded again.
God said it.
Moses wrote um.
David did the same thing, andthese are the writers telling us
where they're getting thisstuff from.
David second.
(09:12):
Samuel 23, 2.
The word was in my tongue, hisword was in my tongue, his word
was in my tongue.
And let me just say by sayingthis stuff, I don't want to
trivialize the word of God.
I'm saying that what thosewords we see on the page in the
original, these writers aretelling us.
This is where he got it from.
I just want to clarify that,because you know the devil's
(09:37):
business.
Isaiah said it.
Isaiah 1 and 2, the Lord hasspoken.
This is not a thought tothought transfer, but a word to
ear transfer.
Jeremiah 1 and 4, the word ofthe Lord came unto me.
1 and 9,.
I have put my words in yourmouth.
I am telling you what to say.
(09:58):
You say what I pay to say, nomore, no less.
Ezekiel, 1 and 3.
The word of the Lord cameexpressly to Ezekiel, so it only
Ezekiel was in a crowd andEzekiel was the only one that
heard it.
Amos, 1 and 1.
(10:18):
The words which he sawconcerning Israel.
He saw those words Like writtenon a paper and he wrote those
words.
And God showed him JohnRevelation 1 and 1.
The revelation of Jesus Christwhich God gave him.
Now it is true that even thoughGod was talking to these writers
(10:44):
, all these writers we justmentioned, and there's so many
even though God was talking tothese writers, they didn't
exactly understand what theywere writing.
Writing so they may have beenwriting it in their
interpretation, but not withtheir thoughts.
(11:07):
So God would give the words butnot the thoughts.
So when it says the prophetshave inquired and not
ministering unto themselves, butunto us, this is what happened
at 1 Peter, 1, uh.
1, 10 through 12, daniel didnot understand all he wrote.
Now this is you see this indaniel 12, 8 and 9, uh.
(11:29):
Did david understand about theparting of the garments and the
piercing of the hands and feetand psalms.
He probably didn.
And you could kind of know when, especially when, kind of a
revelation that God will throw arevelation in there while he's
talking to you and therevelation will kind of not make
(11:52):
sense or not kind of go withthe conversation, but it will,
and it's really still hard toexplain.
That's something I still haveto flush out, but it's just
something that I have noticedlately in the study.
Um, now, if now let's go backand we talk about the how the
(12:14):
bible could be incorrect and Iknow that sounds blasphemous and
I don't want you to turn thispodcast off, but I'm going to
explain how if it weren'tcorrect this is why it wouldn't
be correct if the bible were notverbally inspired, um, then it
would be incorrect.
But there are important thingsthat are based on simple words,
(12:36):
like in Hebrews 12 and 27,.
And it's quoting from Haggai,haggai 2 and 6.
Yet, once more, you will seethis a lot, where you will see
things that are quoted fromsection to section A section in
the New Testament, mostly asection in the Old Testament,
(12:59):
and there are there's importancein how the verb tenses are Like
in Luke 20 and 20, sorry, 20and 37,.
It says I am Not, I was Not I.
He says I am Not, I was Not, Iwill be I am.
Now there's even importancethat are placed on a mere letter
(13:20):
, galatians 3.16.
S and seed is capitalized andit's not seeds and it's not
seeds and it's not seeds.
It's one seed, not seeds.
So the S is not capitalized Igot the nose picked out but it's
(13:40):
seeds, not seeds.
And this is where, now that Ithink about it, this is where I
get so upset with people whotalk about offering as seed.
That's not that's.
I don't know where y'all gotthat from.
That clearly is not biblical.
The seed is always to grow andgrow fruit and the only thing
(14:04):
that grows and grows fruit, thatgrows our spirit and grows
fruit, is the preaching of theword.
So I'm not sure where peopleget this from, but it won't
happen, not with me.
As a matter of fact, there's Ioften tell this story all the
time about my first witnessingattempt and I was talking to a
(14:26):
Jehovah Witness and we wrestledover John one and one for like
three weeks before I finallyfigured out what was different
about their John 1 and 1 and myJohn 1 and 1.
They put the letter A in frontof the last God in that sentence
and then they made that capitalG a lowercase g and that
(14:54):
changes the entire Bible.
That those two changes rightthere, changes the entire, the
entire Bible.
It throws so manycontradictions now, because if
all power is given unto me, thenthe power that God in heaven
has no power and it just does somuch just from that.
(15:15):
Those two little changes.
That's why having the rightversion is important.
Now there are um, there'ssciences that are in the bible
that you can actually prove um,even though um, the ideas of the
world at that time wasincorrect, like people believed
(15:39):
then, that the earth was flat.
But the science in the biblewould prove that the earth was
round.
But they didn't understand that.
They couldn't understand that.
So they still did things andbehaved as if it were flat.
Now the testimony of Christdoes prove that the Bible was
verbally inspired.
(15:59):
Look at Matthew, chapter 18.
This is not one jot or tittle18.
This is not one jot or tittle.
The crossing of a T or a dottingof an I is so important and
it's not thought inspiredBecause I can tell you a thing
and then you can interpret whatI said and when you internalize
(16:20):
the thought, that would be likepreaching.
So if I'm preaching to somebodyand I'm speaking and God has
given me a word to say, thatword may sit on you differently,
because that's inspired by Godthrough the word of God, but I'm
(16:42):
the one saying it if that makesany sense.
But I'm the one saying it ifthat makes any sense.
Likewise, if I tell you youknow, there's a crazy thing
going on across the street, thatword crazy is a little
ambiguous because the word crazymight mean a different thing to
you than it does to me.
We don't have that sort ofluxury when it comes to the word
(17:06):
of God.
It has to be exactly the way hesays it, how he says it and why
.
Because of the why he says it.
Now listen, and I gotta fixthis because we have to make
sure that we get this naileddown If the Bible were part
(17:27):
divine and part human, how wouldyou be able to tell which is
which?
You can't?
And this is where a lot ofpeople, in their subconscious,
they're thinking that the Biblewell, the Bible's real, but some
parts of it were written by man.
Because of this part that Idon't like.
(17:48):
And now you have to say, andwhat they do is they sort of end
up buffet picking the parts ofthe bible that they do like.
Oh, the meat shall inheritearth, and let's start the lowly
, because they show.
You know, it's all the nice,flowery part, but no one wants
(18:08):
to, um, really accept the factthat there are many there and
that go into the path ofdestruction and health has
enlarged herself, fail.
So you know those kind ofthings, those kind of scriptures
, and and you know, this isholiness, that's not holiness,
(18:29):
and how, this is how we shouldbehave and treat each other and
that's not how we should behaveand treat each other.
You can, we end up getting tothis, and I believe this is out
of the book of jj.
Okay, this is how I believethat we started getting
denominations, because at somepoint we started thinking
(18:51):
instead of just doing.
The Bible became part divine andpart human or fully divine and
part human or mostly human, anda little bit of divine, part
human or mostly human and alittle bit of divine.
And so when you start, when youstart taking on that mantle of
(19:13):
what is divine and what is humanand what is not.
Then you start being able toget rid of things out of the
bible, just skip over them.
Oh, you know what?
I'm a preacher and I'm involvedin adultery, so I'm not going
to preach against adultery.
I like the way my wife dressesprovocatively, so I'm not going
to preach that she should dressmodestly.
(19:33):
I don't want to.
I don't want to talk.
I don't really know how to pray, so I'm not going to preach how
to pray.
Or I'm going to preach how topray or I'm going to change the
definition of it because I wantit to be easy.
I want you to have an easierway of trying to be saved.
(19:55):
And then you start hearingpeople saying stuff like it'll
take all that.
And this is where that comesfrom Trying to assume that
either the Bible is partlydivine and partly human or
mostly human and partly divine.
We have to all you, me, anybodywho are looking to go to heaven,
(20:17):
who wants to go to heaven, hasto come to the understanding,
has to come to the revelationthat the Bible is 100% divine.
Therefore, it would behoove allof us if we think there's
something that contradicts and Ican think of three.
(20:39):
That guy really trained me well, I can think of three that
people just use all the time,because they use it to try to
discredit the Bible.
But that's because they don'tread the Bible.
They haven't read it, theyhaven't studied it.
This is not something we werespeaking at church last week.
(21:00):
It's not something you justpick up and read like a magazine
.
You have to study it andcross-reference it and and read
like a magazine.
You have to study it and crossreference and it sounds like a
lot.
But that's why you do a littlebit at a time and that's why
going to church and podcastslike these are important not
necessarily this one, because,uh, but it is what it is.
But that's why going to churchis important.
(21:21):
That's why Bible studies areimportant, because your word has
to be rightly divided andsometimes we have to take that
big pizza, put it up in theslices and maybe fold the slices
just so that we can take a biteout of it.
And that's just really how itis.
(21:43):
The Bible is 100% verballyinspired, even the parts that we
don't like, even the parts thatwe wish God had not fulfilled,
because we can always use a dayoff, a week, right.
So, that being said, I doappreciate the question.
We're going to continue thisbecause we went.
(22:05):
This is what actually led intothe arguments of who God is, so
this was a really wonderful idea, thank you.
Thank you all for the question.
Oh, and I guess I missed it atthe beginning.
If you do have questions, ifyou have comments, send them to
(22:27):
walkwithmebiblestudy at gmail.
Walkwithmebiblestudy atgmailcom.
And if you want to have yourquestion addressed directly to
you there are some people who do.
Most people just preferanonymous.
If you want your questionaddressed directly to you, put
(22:50):
your name in the subject lineand then I will just just like
here on the podcast, like say,for example, we had Carolyn who
did that.
I was basically talking toCarolyn and everybody kind of
overheard.
That's the way it kind of went.
But thank you all so much forjoining.
Hey, listen, when you're outand about today, tell somebody
that Jesus loves them.
That's probably the onlypositive thing they will hear
(23:10):
today.
So much things are going on, somuch worry, so much fear, so
much concern.
But let them know that Jesusloves them and if you have a
family member going throughsomething, tell them that Jesus
can deliver them and mean it.
You know people can tell whenyou're being faithful, but just
(23:32):
mean it, alright?
God bless each and every one ofyou.
I'll see you on the next one.
Goodbye.

Moses wrote um.
David did the same thing, andthese are the writers telling us
where they're getting thisstuff from.
David second.
(09:12):
Samuel 23, 2.
The word was in my tongue, hisword was in my tongue, his word
was in my tongue.
And let me just say by sayingthis stuff, I don't want to
trivialize the word of God.
I'm saying that what thosewords we see on the page in the
original, these writers aretelling us.
This is where he got it from.
I just want to clarify that,because you know the devil's
(09:37):
business.
Isaiah said it.
Isaiah 1 and 2, the Lord hasspoken.
This is not a thought tothought transfer, but a word to
ear transfer.
Jeremiah 1 and 4, the word ofthe Lord came unto me.
1 and 9,.
I have put my words in yourmouth.
I am telling you what to say.
(09:58):
You say what I pay to say, nomore, no less.
Ezekiel, 1 and 3.
The word of the Lord cameexpressly to Ezekiel, so it only
Ezekiel was in a crowd andEzekiel was the only one that
heard it.
Amos, 1 and 1.
(10:18):
The words which he sawconcerning Israel.
He saw those words Like writtenon a paper and he wrote those
words.
And God showed him JohnRevelation 1 and 1.
The revelation of Jesus Christwhich God gave him.
Now it is true that even thoughGod was talking to these writers
(10:44):
, all these writers we justmentioned, and there's so many
even though God was talking tothese writers, they didn't
exactly understand what theywere writing.
Writing so they may have beenwriting it in their
interpretation, but not withtheir thoughts.
(11:07):
So God would give the words butnot the thoughts.
So when it says the prophetshave inquired and not
ministering unto themselves, butunto us, this is what happened
at 1 Peter, 1, uh.
1, 10 through 12, daniel didnot understand all he wrote.
Now this is you see this indaniel 12, 8 and 9, uh.
(11:29):
Did david understand about theparting of the garments and the
piercing of the hands and feetand psalms.
He probably didn.
And you could kind of know when, especially when, kind of a
revelation that God will throw arevelation in there while he's
talking to you and therevelation will kind of not make
(11:52):
sense or not kind of go withthe conversation, but it will,
and it's really still hard toexplain.
That's something I still haveto flush out, but it's just
something that I have noticedlately in the study.
Um, now, if now let's go backand we talk about the how the
(12:14):
bible could be incorrect and Iknow that sounds blasphemous and
I don't want you to turn thispodcast off, but I'm going to
explain how if it weren'tcorrect this is why it wouldn't
be correct if the bible were notverbally inspired, um, then it
would be incorrect.
But there are important thingsthat are based on simple words,
(12:36):
like in Hebrews 12 and 27,.
And it's quoting from Haggai,haggai 2 and 6.
Yet, once more, you will seethis a lot, where you will see
things that are quoted fromsection to section A section in
the New Testament, mostly asection in the Old Testament,
(12:59):
and there are there's importancein how the verb tenses are Like
in Luke 20 and 20, sorry, 20and 37,.
It says I am Not, I was Not I.
He says I am Not, I was Not, Iwill be I am.
Now there's even importancethat are placed on a mere letter
(13:20):
, galatians 3.16.
S and seed is capitalized andit's not seeds and it's not
seeds and it's not seeds.
It's one seed, not seeds.
So the S is not capitalized Igot the nose picked out but it's
(13:40):
seeds, not seeds.
And this is where, now that Ithink about it, this is where I
get so upset with people whotalk about offering as seed.
That's not that's.
I don't know where y'all gotthat from.
That clearly is not biblical.
The seed is always to grow andgrow fruit and the only thing
(14:04):
that grows and grows fruit, thatgrows our spirit and grows
fruit, is the preaching of theword.
So I'm not sure where peopleget this from, but it won't
happen, not with me.
As a matter of fact, there's Ioften tell this story all the
time about my first witnessingattempt and I was talking to a
(14:26):
Jehovah Witness and we wrestledover John one and one for like
three weeks before I finallyfigured out what was different
about their John 1 and 1 and myJohn 1 and 1.
They put the letter A in frontof the last God in that sentence
and then they made that capitalG a lowercase g and that
(14:54):
changes the entire Bible.
That those two changes rightthere, changes the entire, the
entire Bible.
It throws so manycontradictions now, because if
all power is given unto me, thenthe power that God in heaven
has no power and it just does somuch just from that.
(15:15):
Those two little changes.
That's why having the rightversion is important.
Now there are um, there'ssciences that are in the bible
that you can actually prove um,even though um, the ideas of the
world at that time wasincorrect, like people believed
(15:39):
then, that the earth was flat.
But the science in the biblewould prove that the earth was
round.
But they didn't understand that.
They couldn't understand that.
So they still did things andbehaved as if it were flat.
Now the testimony of Christdoes prove that the Bible was
verbally inspired.
(15:59):
Look at Matthew, chapter 18.
This is not one jot or tittle18.
This is not one jot or tittle.
The crossing of a T or a dottingof an I is so important and
it's not thought inspiredBecause I can tell you a thing
and then you can interpret whatI said and when you internalize
(16:20):
the thought, that would be likepreaching.
So if I'm preaching to somebodyand I'm speaking and God has
given me a word to say, thatword may sit on you differently,
because that's inspired by Godthrough the word of God, but I'm
(16:42):
the one saying it if that makesany sense.
But I'm the one saying it ifthat makes any sense.
Likewise, if I tell you youknow, there's a crazy thing
going on across the street, thatword crazy is a little
ambiguous because the word crazymight mean a different thing to
you than it does to me.
We don't have that sort ofluxury when it comes to the word
(17:06):
of God.
It has to be exactly the way hesays it, how he says it and why
.
Because of the why he says it.
Now listen, and I gotta fixthis because we have to make
sure that we get this naileddown If the Bible were part
(17:27):
divine and part human, how wouldyou be able to tell which is
which?
You can't?
And this is where a lot ofpeople, in their subconscious,
they're thinking that the Biblewell, the Bible's real, but some
parts of it were written by man.
Because of this part that Idon't like.
(17:48):
And now you have to say, andwhat they do is they sort of end
up buffet picking the parts ofthe bible that they do like.
Oh, the meat shall inheritearth, and let's start the lowly
, because they show.
You know, it's all the nice,flowery part, but no one wants
(18:08):
to, um, really accept the factthat there are many there and
that go into the path ofdestruction and health has
enlarged herself, fail.
So you know those kind ofthings, those kind of scriptures
, and and you know, this isholiness, that's not holiness,
(18:29):
and how, this is how we shouldbehave and treat each other and
that's not how we should behaveand treat each other.
You can, we end up getting tothis, and I believe this is out
of the book of jj.
Okay, this is how I believethat we started getting
denominations, because at somepoint we started thinking
(18:51):
instead of just doing.
The Bible became part divine andpart human or fully divine and
part human or mostly human, anda little bit of divine, part
human or mostly human and alittle bit of divine.
And so when you start, when youstart taking on that mantle of
(19:13):
what is divine and what is humanand what is not.
Then you start being able toget rid of things out of the
bible, just skip over them.
Oh, you know what?
I'm a preacher and I'm involvedin adultery, so I'm not going
to preach against adultery.
I like the way my wife dressesprovocatively, so I'm not going
to preach that she should dressmodestly.
(19:33):
I don't want to.
I don't want to talk.
I don't really know how to pray, so I'm not going to preach how
to pray.
Or I'm going to preach how topray or I'm going to change the
definition of it because I wantit to be easy.
I want you to have an easierway of trying to be saved.
(19:55):
And then you start hearingpeople saying stuff like it'll
take all that.
And this is where that comesfrom Trying to assume that
either the Bible is partlydivine and partly human or
mostly human and partly divine.
We have to all you, me, anybodywho are looking to go to heaven,
(20:17):
who wants to go to heaven, hasto come to the understanding,
has to come to the revelationthat the Bible is 100% divine.
Therefore, it would behoove allof us if we think there's
something that contradicts and Ican think of three.
(20:39):
That guy really trained me well, I can think of three that
people just use all the time,because they use it to try to
discredit the Bible.
But that's because they don'tread the Bible.
They haven't read it, theyhaven't studied it.
This is not something we werespeaking at church last week.
(21:00):
It's not something you justpick up and read like a magazine
.
You have to study it andcross-reference it and and read
like a magazine.
You have to study it and crossreference and it sounds like a
lot.
But that's why you do a littlebit at a time and that's why
going to church and podcastslike these are important not
necessarily this one, because,uh, but it is what it is.
But that's why going to churchis important.
(21:21):
That's why Bible studies areimportant, because your word has
to be rightly divided andsometimes we have to take that
big pizza, put it up in theslices and maybe fold the slices
just so that we can take a biteout of it.
And that's just really how itis.
(21:43):
The Bible is 100% verballyinspired, even the parts that we
don't like, even the parts thatwe wish God had not fulfilled,
because we can always use a dayoff, a week, right.
So, that being said, I doappreciate the question.
We're going to continue thisbecause we went.
(22:05):
This is what actually led intothe arguments of who God is, so
this was a really wonderful idea, thank you.
Thank you all for the question.
Oh, and I guess I missed it atthe beginning.
If you do have questions, ifyou have comments, send them to
(22:27):
walkwithmebiblestudy at gmail.
Walkwithmebiblestudy atgmailcom.
And if you want to have yourquestion addressed directly to
you there are some people who do.
Most people just preferanonymous.
If you want your questionaddressed directly to you, put
(22:50):
your name in the subject lineand then I will just just like
here on the podcast, like say,for example, we had Carolyn who
did that.
I was basically talking toCarolyn and everybody kind of
overheard.
That's the way it kind of went.
But thank you all so much forjoining.
Hey, listen, when you're outand about today, tell somebody
that Jesus loves them.
That's probably the onlypositive thing they will hear
(23:10):
today.
So much things are going on, somuch worry, so much fear, so
much concern.
But let them know that Jesusloves them and if you have a
family member going throughsomething, tell them that Jesus
can deliver them and mean it.
You know people can tell whenyou're being faithful, but just
(23:32):
mean it, alright?
God bless each and every one ofyou.
I'll see you on the next one.
Goodbye.
