Hello, Hello, welcome to anotherepisode of Into the Scriptures. Today we're
coming from Camp Blue Ridge in Virginiahere at Feast of passoverund unleaven bread,
and I'm sitting here with Johnny L. Newman. Hello, Hello, and
today we got something special. Today. We're going to talk about the resurrection
in terms of baptism. Now,I don't know what you've heard out there.
(00:25):
There's a lot of conversation about thedeath and resurrection of the Messiah,
but what individuals are doing is thatthey're stopping at the death. So this
is what we're going to discuss todaybecause there's a lot of different misconceptions,
a lot of different views specifically andreferring to the baptisms. So that's what
we're going to focus on. SoI don't know, Jodielle, if you
(00:47):
heard different things out there. I'mpretty sure you did with all the stuff
you've been doing. And there's afocus, and that focus I don't know
about you. I've seen it quitea bit is on his death right,
absolutely the death on the cross,and also not even the resurrection, but
his life on this earth and thenhis death on the cross. There's no
(01:11):
emphasis of any other experience after that, you know. And one of the
things that is a misconception is that, yeah, I was looking at you
as if he doesn't want to lookat you, as if he wants to
see someone else, or he wantsto see the life of his son,
But in actuality, he wants tosee the life of his son in you.
So many people don't understand that that'sthe experience of the resurrection that we
(01:34):
should desire and what's crazy. Solike, one of the primary reasons for
me, especially when I did astudy on the resurrection, what blew my
mind is the fact that how manyof the denominations today where they just focus
on that death right and then whenthey talk about the resurrection on the side,
they just talk about how he resurrectedon that third day, but they
(01:57):
don't talk about that life, thatlife that he now gives you. And
to me, that blew me awaybecause that life is important to understand,
because that life is the whole purposeof the death and resurrection, his death
forgiving our sins, becoming that atonementfor us, but then also that resurrection
which now gives us the opportunity ofnew life through baptism. So one of
(02:23):
the first places I don't know whatyou have. In reminder, one of
the first places I like to goto is Romans chapter six. Now I
want to remind everybody it is thefeast of unliving Bread, and one of
the days that occurs during the feastof unliving Bread is the day of First
Fruits, which is the symbol ofthe actual resurrection of Messiah. New flash,
(02:50):
guys, is not Easter. It'sactually the day of First Fruits.
That manifesto reveals the memorial of hisresurrection. So just wanted to make sure
that that's an emphasis there. I'mwanted to point out some things where the
word first fruits is mentioned to pertainto his resurrection. So okay, so
let's go first to Romans chapter six. Romans chapter six, and I know
(03:15):
what ends up happening is I'm actuallyjust going to go ahead and read from
one to four. But what endsup happening when we talk about baptism or
his death and his resurrection, we'regoing to see a pattern of how his
life that resurrected life he now orwe are now able to obtain that life
as well. And one thing peoplealways say is, oh, because of
(03:38):
that, we don't have to keepthe law or anything. But it's interesting
when we read these verses, howit doesn't say that. So they're going
to be implementing I think I knowwhat you're going I'm gonna implement certain definitions
for certain words so that that claritycould kind of be seen. But go
ahead. So in Romans chapter six, I'm going to read until verse fources
(04:01):
what shall we say, then shallwe continue in sin? That grace may
abound? God forbid? How shallwe that are dead to sin live any
longer? Therein So, right offof the bat, here's Paul speaking,
and Paul's just laying it out.What shall we say then shall we continue
in sin? That grace me abrown? So just because we have grace,
(04:24):
we have grace through the Messiah,doesn't give us the right to go
around sinning. Absolutely. Now,one thing I want to do is insert
the definition of sin from First Johnchapter three, verse four. Yes,
go ahead. So First John chapterthree, verse four says, whosoever commits
sin is transgressing the law, becausesin is the transgression of the law.
(04:53):
So whenever you see the word sin, if you input or insert the understanding
of transgressing the law, you wouldsee that there's a specific thing that Y'ah
or that his prophets is saying notto do anymore, you know. So
it's when you read in Romans,how can is he that is free?
(05:16):
Did you say, did you readthe first one? Yes? What shall
we say? Then? Shall wecontinue in sin that grace may have bound?
God forbid? So shall we continuein the transgressing of the law so
that grace can abound? Yeah,forbid? So you see, if you
insert it, it gets a bigger, a more broader understanding of what they're
talking about pertaining to sin. Andthat's what you're the understanding of sin.
(05:41):
If you have the proper understanding sinaccording to scripture, that is what should
be coming to mind when we talkabout sin. It's talking about the transgression
of the law. That's what sinis, transgression of the law, breaking
the law. So when and thisis Paul himself, and Paul's in agreement
with all the prophets, He's inagreement with the Torah to not continue in
sin. Just because we have grace, just because the Father has showed us
(06:03):
mercy, does not mean we cancontinue on doing the same exact things that
we needed saving from. So continuingin verse three, knowing not that so
many of us, as we're baptizedinto who show the Messiah, were baptized
into his death. Therefore we areburied with him by baptism into death.
(06:24):
That like the Messiah, was raisedup from the dead by the glory of
the Father, even so we alsoshould walk in newness of life. And
my point is this. We talkabout his death, we talk about how
he was in atonement for us,but a great aspect of it is the
baptismal part being baptized. How wealso partake in that death as well.
(06:46):
We also are baptized into his death. The question he asked in verse three
is is a rhetorical one of somethingthat we should know. That we should
know that we are baptized like hewas, like he died, we also
are baptized similarly. And then whenyou get to verse four, therefore we
are buried with him by baptism intodeath, and not just his death,
(07:12):
but then the focus of and thisis the whole pivotal thing for me,
that like the Messiah was raised upfrom the dead by the glory of the
Father, even so we also shouldwalk in newness of life, so that
life after his resurrection is the focusthat no one is focusing on. They
only focus on the death part andjust say, oh, you resurrected on
the third day. But there's somethingabout this newness of life now that is
(07:34):
not being talked about, right,And you know, there's an aspect of
the death that's not understood as well. You know, it says in the
likeness of his death right. Oneof the verses in Romans I think you're
gonna come up to is talking aboutwhen he died, he died to sin,
(07:55):
meaning that the sin that was inhis flesh or on his flesh was
not in his mind or in hisheart right he was. He died and
resurrected without the sin. He neversinned in his heart and mind towards him,
but the sin was on him.And when he died, he raised
(08:16):
without the sin, because he didn'traise with the fleshy body. So it's
interested in how this experience of resurrectionis washing your sins away, right,
removal of sins, and then walkingin the newness of life without the transgression
(08:37):
of the law. You know,just as Messiah was guilty of the world's
sins on him died and when heresurrected. He resurrected without the sins of
the world on him, you knowwhat I mean. So it's interested in
how it says we die like him, And that even goes into the verse
(08:58):
five. For if we have beenplanning together in the likeness of his death,
we shall also be in the likenessof his resurrection. From that flesh,
that fleshly being that we are theflesher being, we enter into that
death through baptism, and then aswe raise, we become something new,
(09:18):
this new life, this newness oflife that we are supposed to have,
just like a messiah, he resurrected. Right, Read that again, Read
that part again. For if wehave been planted together in the likeness of
his death, we shall all weshall be also in the likeness of his
resurrection. So so if you didnot, if you were not planted in
(09:41):
the likeness of his death. Soif you partake in baptism but not the
way that he is doing it,then you cannot live the way that he
is doing it. Now you know, in his resurrected life. You cannot
partake in a resurrected life life ifyou do not die to the transgression of
(10:03):
the law. If you go intobaptism and you have not, I would
say despised the sin that you've committed, or I would say recognize that sin
can no longer be a part ofyour life. You can't partake in this
(10:24):
newness of life because sin is whatreveals the old life. Transgressing you as
law is what reveals the old life. So that statement is just so powerful.
Now It's kind of like, arepeople actually teaching the death properly?
You know? And we were goingto go as the pivotal thing. We
were going into the resurrection and peopleteaching the resurrection probably, But are people
(10:48):
teaching the death probably? You know, can't even get to the resurrection unless
you understand the death from Messiah andhow you ought to die the way he
did to sin as well. Itshows his That's more powerful to me,
like knowing that we can partake init. It's a gift. Knowing that
we can partake in it, andthat this is a promise. Everything we're
(11:09):
reading here, this is a promisethat he's giving to us, allowing us
to partake in this, this newlife, this resurrection, not just the
death but also the resurrection. Andthen when they get to like verse six,
it says, knowing this that ourold man is crucified with him,
that the body of sin might bedestroyed, that henceforth we should not serve
sin. That newness of life givesus the power to say no to sin.
(11:35):
We're no longer shackled to the fleshof sinning. Right, So,
the the cravings and the propensities,we're not ruled by the cravings, you
know, We're not ruled by theurges anymore. We're free from the urges.
So when the urge do will come. It's not saying that the urges
won't come. When they do come, you rule over it. It doesn't
(11:58):
it no longer will rules over you. Because you are You are alive.
You are alive because you are separatefrom it. You're not in control of
it. If your flesh takes control, you can't really truly live. You
know, you can't really be alivewhen something is dictating your every move.
You're actually being You're actually a slave. And what's crazy is that if you
(12:22):
have a false understanding or incorrect understandingof his death, you don't partake in
that resurrection or that new life.Right that the Messiah clearly is our example.
But let's say you do. Youdo have the correct understanding of his
death, but you don't have aunderstand understanding of his resurrection, that new
life. This is something that's alwaysgoing to be a shackle over you.
(12:46):
Because I know for me in mywalk, what was really hard is man
I just keep on sinning. Man, I keep because I have a totally
different understanding of the fact that nowI can overcome. Now I have the
power through the Messiah, of course, but now I have the to do
it before kind of just I don'thave the feeling or something's wrong. And
you identify and declare yourself as asinner, you will produce sin. You
(13:11):
know, when you say you're asinner, you're saying I cannot do what
y'all commands because sin is a transgressionof as law. So if you're identifying
as a person that doesn't do y'all'scommands, you know, I'm a person
that doesn't do what y'all says.Saved by grace, you see now when
(13:35):
you're saved. You see that whenthey say saved by grace, they mix
it together like it's just one phrasethat means you believe. No, you're
saved, saved from what sin?How by grace? So I'm a sinner
saved from what from being a sinner. You can't be saved from being a
(13:58):
sin there and still be a sin. It's actually what you One of the
things you did for Q and Aactually earlier today was the identity knowing yes,
knowing that this is a promise givento you. Do you accept this
promise? Do you accept this powerthat He's giving to you? And that's
why in verse seven, for hethat is dead is freed from sin.
(14:20):
This is why we're freed from sinwhen we live with the spirit. This
is why we're freed from sin,free from transgressing his commands. You are
free because we can say no.You can say no to breaking it,
and you can say yes to keepingit, to walking in it, to
living it. I have a wholeI was gonna look at first John chapter
(14:41):
three, after you get through allthose verses. It's crazy how John and
Paul was saying exactly the same thing. But I believe this is also I've
heard you say a couple of timesthat Roman six is like the on top
the unread chapter of religious groups outthere today because of what it real what
is revealing so far is nothing sayingoh, the law is not done away
(15:03):
with. It's showing none of thatat all. But you know what this
is. This is a rebuke.So he's writing a letter to the Romans
and he's telling them, why doyou think that you should live in breaking
Ya's law because you received grace?Yeah, forbid? Don't allow that to
be an idea. You know,one of my brother rud he from Assembly
(15:28):
of You, he was reading it. He has some like expository breakdown,
Greek breakdown, and it says banishthe thought. So instead of saying God
forbid, it says, banish thethought from your mind. You know.
That's why he asked the rhetorical questiontoo about his death. If you've been
baptized unto his death, right,right, should you live any longer?
(15:52):
Sin? Banish the thought from yourmind. Don't ever think that this is
acceptable. That's the crazy thing,because that's literally what denominations teacher, well,
what they're teaching right now. It'snot funny. It's like a it's
like a nervous laugh. Guys,all right, It's like I can't believe
(16:12):
this is like a reality, likewe've been told all of our lives from
the pulpit, people that say,don't look at me, see the father.
I don't you know, Father speakthrough me. And then they say
absolute contrary to what this chapter is. And some of them use Paul and
(16:34):
they say, Paul, Paul isgoing to, you know, speak against
his own you know, Paul.Chapter seven speaks against Paul Chapter six.
That doesn't make sense. Yeah,there's a lack of understanding, and it's
a it's an established lack of understandingbecause what's a lack of understanding is considered
understanding. And as we are studyingand simplifying, there shouldn't be any wiggle
(17:00):
room to what's truth. Right.Truth has to be truth and it can't
be two things. It can't betoo contrary ideas something that's true. It
is what it is. A hasto be a. A can't not also
be A and B. It cannotdo that. Truth has to be one
thing. And this is why preceptright and this is where the safety is
(17:26):
because lies has to be the contrastof truth. And if there's many lies,
there has to be one truth,one truth. And Roma six never
read it when it deals with theexperience. But Chapter seven is misunderstood,
and then chapter eight is kind ofbrushed over, or usually people just skip
(17:48):
six and they focus on chapter eight, chapter seven, and they only focus
on the verses that they want tofocus on because it it may we may
have to touch on chapter seven.We can touch a little bit on it
too. Yeah, because then nowhere's verse eight. Now, if we
be dead in the Messiah, webelieve that we all we shall also live
with him. Knowing that the Messiah, being raised from the dead, dieth
(18:11):
no more death, had no moredominion over him. For in that in
that he died, he died untosin once. But in that he liveth
he liveth unto unto Eloheim. Likewise, reckon ye also yourselves to be dead,
indeed unto sin, but alive untoAloheim through who should the Messiah our
master? Let not sin? Thereforethis is the key thing. Let not
(18:36):
sin. Therefore rein in your mortalbody that you should obey it in the
lust thereof Right now, Rain isreferring to R E I G and meaning
I help I spelled R E ID like reigning like a king, like
a person who has dominion. Donot let transgression of the law or or
(18:59):
a practice self trend of breaking y'all'slaw, be dominant in your body,
in your life and your actions.Just looking at the strongs. The word
rain is to rule, be aking over right. So it's interesting how
it uses that because to be free. And this is let's listen to this,
(19:19):
guys, please, we're gonna we'resimplifying these things because we we we're
blown away at this reality of howsimple it is. Two when because we
it because transgressing the law ruled,like you said, right, dominated ruled
us. We the sun sets usfree from that rule. So when it
(19:47):
ruled us, we had to breakthe law aka sin. So now that
we're free from breaking the law akasin, we no longer allow breaking the
law to dominate our lifestyle. Right, So what's being taught primarily, One,
(20:11):
Messiah broke the law. Two,we no longer have to keep the
law. It's done away with.Three, No one can keep the law.
But we just saw that slavery andcaptivity is the reason you couldn't keep
the law. And when the sunsets you free. You can by grace
(20:37):
through him. So it's interesting howpeople say I can do all things through
Christ except keep the law law andit's just it's counterproductive and it's a mixed
message of the gospel. It's noteven like a reality of your transformation.
But the laws I think is avery pivotal evidence of your of you being
(21:03):
born again, because if you can'tkeep the law, it shows that something
is dead. But if you arefreed in Messiah and you can and have
the ability and power to walk accordingto what he says, it reveals obedience
to the law reveals that you arefree from sin aka breaking the law and
just focusing too. On so versethirteen where he says neither yield your members,
(21:26):
I like how he says yield,yield. It's you, It's your
choice, right exactly. So whenyou're you're yielding is to so in greeking
means to stand beside, that is, and to exhibit or recommend. So
you're you're kind of doing You're choosingto do it. You're stepping aside.
You're allowing your will to step asideand then submit to exactly whatever is in
(21:51):
front of you. You are,so you can either step your will aside
and submit to Ya's will, oryou can step aside and submit to your
flesh or sin. The sinfulness ofyour flesh. And so he says,
neither yield your neither yield your membersas instruments of unrighteousness, unto sin,
but yield yourself. And now ittells you where this is. This is
(22:14):
what we should be choosing, Thisis what our will should be going.
We should be allowing, but yieldyourself unto alohem as those that are alive
from the dead. Now what iswhat we just read was talking about the
baptism entering into his death and nowwe're alive. Now we're alive just like
his resurrection. We are alive withthat life, with that newness of life.
(22:37):
And then it says, and yourmembers as instruments of righteousness, meaning
that your lifestyle and actions was centeredaround the captivityvity of needing to sin,
needing to break y'all's law. Sonow that you're free, you can actually
choose and yield your body to promoteactions of obedience. And I'm not saying
(23:03):
that you can keep the law rightaway one hundred and ten percent. I'm
saying that no, no, no, no, no, no, you
can. I'm saying this so mostindividuals would hear us what we're saying right
now, and think, Oh,they think they're perfect one hundred percent right
here, right now. But adjustman may fall, may fall. He
may fall just like in Protasys,just man falls seven times, but a
(23:26):
wicked man falls into darkness. Thedifferences of adjustment and wicked man. Adjustment
gets becca, he asks for repentance, and he keeps going astely. That's
why the scriptures still call him just'sa there's a process because of the nature
of man like, we've gone througha lot of years breaking his law and
(23:51):
feeling the consequences of it and feelingthe desires to do it again and again
and again. So when he freeus, it's literally That's why that verse
says he yields, because when hefrees you, he wants you not to
rely on what you feel or whatyou crave or desire from your body.
(24:11):
He wants you to rely on whaty'all says, and how he's guiding you,
and what direction he's pointing you towalk in. That's what he's telling
you to do. You're surrendering towhat You're surrendering to sinner. You're surrendering
to him now because of our wholeentire life before we met him. This
is what we were engulfed in.So the work of setting us apart is
(24:33):
also the work of understanding. Youmay not understand every aspect of your sins
clearly, and when those things ariseand you fall, he's not pointing at
you saying that you're guilty. He'srevealing it to you and saying, surrender
these things. Yield not to thisagain. I'm showing you this so you
(24:56):
cannot yield to it afterwards. Youknow, if you yield to it,
you're putting yourself back into that captivity. For example, you get married.
You know where I'm going. Yeah, you get married. You're expecting your
(25:18):
wife to be perfect in not committingadultery. She's expecting you to be perfect.
But here's the thing. You canhave a lifestyle in which you was
not faithful. You can also haveexamples like your family or friends who has
been committing adultery in their own relationships. This is the only this is the
(25:40):
only thing you can see that doesnot have any bearing on whether or not
you remain faithful to your wife.If you consider the sin, if you
consider the damage that it does,if you consider and move opposite direction of
what you've been taught, what yousaw with practice, you can be perfect
(26:02):
in you know what a monogamy rightand faithfulness through your strength. You know.
So it's interesting how sometimes we gofrom being single to you know,
having a relationship and then we require, you know, striving to be perfect
(26:27):
in certain principles. And then whenwe look at the scriptures and he's asking
for the same thing in a relationshipwith him, we're saying it can't happen.
But then we look at our spouseand say, I vow to never
(26:47):
you know. And then we lookat our children and say, never lie
to me, you know, neversteal from me, always come to me.
It sounds like yeah, actually itsounds like yeah, telling his commandments
to this people that you know,down't don't bear false witness, don't lie,
love your neighbor, love your siblings. You know, this is what
we tell our children. And thenwe have this expectation like if you don't,
(27:11):
there's a consequence, you know,whether it's a natural consequence for you,
and then there's a punishment from me. But then we turn to you
and say, we can never dothat. We can never do what you're
asking. Well, to clarify,to clarify what I'm talking about is that
like that process? Because if Ihad I had someone talk to me and
(27:32):
go, oh you keep you keepthe law, and yes, I do,
so you do everything. I'm Ihave weaknesses. I have weaknesses that
are still being revealed to me,Like you just said, but we can
we can do everything. We havethe power to do everything. Yeah,
but also you need to be sometimesyou just say at the moment, like
(27:52):
what do you what are you gonnatell me I'm guilty of at the moment,
you know, you can't bring upsins that y'all forgive me from for
especially when I ask for You can'ttell me I'm walking every day looking at
something and just breaking blatantly breaking.Yeah. Oh, you know we're here
at the feasts, you know,seven days in the scriptures, fellowshipping with
(28:15):
one another, you know, biblicalconversations, lifting each other up. Like
can people really say they were justsitting last night or the whole day we
spent together, we were just there'ssomething happened and we just send like sometimes
you have the victory that whole day, these two days, these whole week.
You know, this is the strengthof y'all, not the strength of
(28:36):
men. This is the ability thaty'all has in us, not the ability
that we have away from him.You know. So when somebody come and
say, yeah, you're not talkingto me about my past. You're talking
to me about right now. Soat the moment, sure, what can
you say now, you think Paul. When Paul said I'm the chief of
sinners, he's referring to his past, right, He's not talking about I'm
(28:57):
the chief of sinner right now.Yeah, breaking the law every single day,
you know, but the law isgood, by the way, No,
you know, don't don't don't peoplepeople actually say that. By the
way, That's why he says cheapof sinners is because he continues to say
he continues to sin and then tellother people they're not inheriting the kingdom of
the heaven with the same stuff thatthey are that he is performing. Or
(29:19):
he says stuff like this where wehave the power because the very last verse
says for sin shall not have dominion, right, it shall not when you
are in the resurrection of Massiah,when you're living the life with Massiah,
Massiah's very life is in you,with you, empowering you. This is
(29:40):
what you have. So to clarify, I'm not saying you can't keep it.
You can. I'm just referring moreto that process. Absolutely, there
is a process, because sin runsdeep, it runs deep. And Yeah,
is in the business of putting theacts at the root instead of handling
the symptoms. You know, he'snot plucking the fruit of the sitting until
(30:03):
the tree has no more fruit.No, he's cutting the tree down.
He's dealing with the whole root ofthe problem, not just the symptoms.
Now, I wanted to read aradical chapter from John, which one,
First John Chapter three, First Johnchapter three. Yeah, this is the
untouched chapter, the untouched John chapter. Now we know the Book of John
(30:30):
talks about being born again. Itsays that John chapter one, verse twelve
and thirteen, if you believe,if you receive him, then he gives
you power to become sons and daughtersof course of Eloheen. That is born
not by the will of man,nor by the will of the flesh,
but of Eloheen. Of Yeah,you are born of him. So the
(30:52):
will of man, the will ofthe flesh, is no longer a factor
in this new experience that you have, aka the resurrected life. You know,
you're born again, and you arenow empowered and united with the spirits.
Calls you a new creature. Absolutely, Second Corinthians chapter five seven.
(31:12):
He who is in Messiah is anew new creature. Old things are passed
away, all things have become new. So look at what it says here.
First John chapter three, again startingwith being born again, being transformed,
just like Romans six, Just likeJohn chapter one. Now we're in
(31:33):
First John chapter three. Behold whatmanner of love the Father has bestowed upon
us, that we should be calledthe children of Elohem. Therefore the world
does not know us because it doesnot know him. So the first aspect
is your whole identity is shifted.They don't even know you anymore. It's
crazy that if the world knows you, that's a problem. That's a problem.
(31:56):
So but they don't know you.Now, this doesn't mean that you're
gonna like shape shift. No,your face is gonna be disfigured or changed.
No, you're different. Your life, the way that you speak,
the way that you think, thechoices that you make, the decisions that
you make, the lifestyle, thedirection that you walk. Everything now centers
around a different way, a differentway of doing things. And this is
(32:22):
why the nature of the world iscontrary to the nature that you have now
as the sons and daughters of Eloheim. So verse two, beloved, now
are we the children of Alohem.And it does not yet appear what we
shall be. But when we knowthat when we he shall appear, when
he will appear, we will belike him. So we don't know,
(32:46):
but we trust because he promises this. So because of this promise, we
have to trust the process. Wetrust that he's making us like his son.
So when his son appears, wewill be. We shall be life
right right, for we shall seehim as he is. Verse three.
(33:07):
Every man that has this hope inhim purifies himself, even as he is
pure. So even as Messiah ispure, by this hope, he purifies
himself. Let me explain, theassurance of this promise is enabling me to
shed during the process to shed,and to not rely on the cravings on
(33:32):
the propensities. Because I am lookingfor Yeah to make me into his son.
I am relying on moving away fromtransgression of the law to keeping the
law. And so look at this. When he says he purifies himself the
very next verse, whoever commits sintransgress the law because sin is a transgression
(33:57):
of the law. So I wantto stress the purifying of yourself is no
longer transgressing the law, no longersinning. To remove sin, it's right
there. To remove sin and purifyyourself is to stop transgressing the law and
live like him. Nobody could sayhe came to this world and sin.
(34:20):
Right, We all say he walkedperfectly. And it's interesting how the life
that he had in his earth hit. The resurrected power that we receive from
his life now enables us to walklike he walked on this earth. So
it's not the other way around.The way he walks on his work earth
is given to you. You getcredit for what he did. No,
(34:44):
he did that to show you whathe did with the power he resurrected,
and he gives this power to you, and now you walk the way he
walked before when he was here.Now, some individuals they'll just focus because
I know we're going to continue toread here. And it says, let's
say verse five, and you knowthat he was manifested to take away our
(35:04):
sin. You know in him isno sin. Whosoever abideth in him sinneth
not whosoever Syneth has not seen it. You're talking this is too radical,
this is too much now. That'sexactly what they were to say, though,
saying too much. Hey, sinis the transgression of the law.
The laws. Sin is the transgressionof the law. And you know he
(35:25):
was manifested to take away the transgressionof the law. So if you are
thinking that you can live and breakthe law, you are living in sin.
You are living contrary to the freedomand the purpose of why And you
can probably search yourself on YouTube.I don't know if you've ever seen it
(35:45):
there as a pastor, it wasa megachurch, and he used I guess
an allegory, right, and hegoes it's like it's like a speed limit
on a highway. The speed limit, the speed limit sixty five, but
as you're going faster than sixty five, and the police pulls you over,
he gives you a ticket, andthen the Messiah gives you grace and pulls
(36:06):
down that speed limit so you cancontinue speeding. No, no, he
didn't say that. That's what hesaid. You can look it up on
YouTube. It's pretty bad because hesays, we can now there's no more
law. That's literally what they teacheverybody listening. If you saw that,
please send that to us so wecan have another podcast and play it for
(36:28):
everyone. If you see it,please send it because that I don't have
no doubt that you saw that,but I want that to be exposed because
that's just and the way it's supposedto be is you break the speed limit,
pulls you over, and the officershows you mercy, he shows you
grace. It doesn't mean you canget right back on the road and break
(36:49):
it again. Right, you getback on the road and drive your behind
probably even two points under this makingsure you don't limit. But now you
have John here, right, youhave John who's clearly saying I love verse
sex. Whosoever abideth in him sinneth. Now you're getting radical. Whosoever syneth
(37:10):
he has not seen him. Right, whoever stays in him, he says
neither no, right. Right,So let me let me like when you
add Roman six with first John three, it's it's over. It's over.
But and you can see the harmonybetween the decided apostles because there's a lot
(37:31):
going on. You know, peoplesaying that Paul was against the apostles silliness.
But you can see the harmony betweenhow radical Paul was about the power
of Messiah in you and how radicalJohn was about the power of Messiah.
And you know so six whosoever abidesin him, or let me simplify,
(37:52):
stays in him, does not transgressthe law. You see that, And
why we just writeing in Roman sexbecause we have that new life. And
whoever transgresses the law has not seenhim or know him. Now remember in
the very beginning it says the worlddoes not know him and it doesn't know
(38:12):
us. Why because the world istransgressing his law and we are not.
So it tells you a little bitmore detailed. If you stay in him,
you won't transgress the law. Butif you transfers the law, you
don't know him, just like theworld. This is why these chapters are
not talked about. This is whythey're not talked about because the moment you
talk about you have to explain it. Now, wait, you have to
(38:34):
explain it. But I'm just sayingto me, it's crazy the fact that
these chapters, it's not just oneverse, but these chapters exist, just
chapters. Just read verse reverse godown, and they're not being explained.
And if they are used, andlike I've seen it, people just cherry
pick. They pick a verse,say, oh, look, and you
know that he was manifest to takeaway our sins, and in him is
(38:57):
no sin. I've seen that.I've seen that one before. That it
defines, it defines what it is. And then that's the context for the
rest of the chapter. You haveto you have to insert the meaning of
sin in order to understand what's happening, what's being taken away, what the
righteous is not doing any longer,what the unrighteous is doing. I'll watch
this, little children. This isverse seven, first John, chapter three,
(39:22):
Little children, do not let mandeceive you. He that does righteousness,
now the context is keeping the law, is not breaking the law.
He that does righteousness, or hethat does not break the law is righteous,
even as he the Messiah is righteous. And just just throwing out there.
(39:44):
The Greek word for righteousness is equityor justification, and then the other
righteous is equitable, deed, right, righteous or justified actions, justified action.
Yeah, something that is law right, the these two verses, and
it's just interesting how we can ifyou slow down, if you slow down
(40:05):
and look at each verse for whatit is, and connect each verse together
like a chain line upo ling priestcontacts this key. Yeah, it is
safety. Look at what it sayshere verse eight and nine. He that
commits a transgression of the law isof the devil, because the devil transgresses
(40:27):
Ya's commands from the beginning. Forthis reason, the son of Eloheem is
manifested so he can destroy the worksof the devil. What's the works of
the devil? Transgression transgression breaking Ya'scommands from the beginning. So the son
of man is manifested to destroy theworks of breaking Ya's commands. Whosoever is
(40:51):
born of Elohem does not commit.That word commits is This is one of
the verses I've seen just used alone. Now, the word commit means to
make a commitment to break his law, meaning eyes wide open. This is
not talking about ignorance. It actuallysays that great to make or do willingly.
(41:15):
Yeah, there we go to agree, there we go pray'. This
is this is a manifestation to commit. Like when you make a commitment,
you are looking at something, analyzingsomething and saying, okay, let's let's
do it. So it says whoeveris born of Ellahem does not look at
the breaking of his law, analyzethe breaking of his law. And that
(41:37):
person who is born of y'all doesnot say, let's break this m It
says. It's not something done willingly. Right, it says, because his
seed stays in him and he cannotsin. It's pretty radical because he is
born of Belohem, because he's partakingthat new life. So the Messiah,
(42:00):
the seed, the son of y'all, stays in him, the spirit stays
in him. Minna, he wasmanifested to destroy the works of the devil.
What's the work. That's why Paulsays, if you live with the
spirit, you're not under the law. And the reason why you're not under
loss because you're not transgression, transgressingthe law right willingly, willing. Yes,
(42:21):
Now, everybody can make a choice. When you make the choice willingly,
you are separating yourself from the graceof Ya. You don't maintain grace
willingly, destroying the covenant or agreementthat you had with him to do or
live according to whatever comes out ofhis mouth. Right man shall not live
(42:44):
by bread alone, but by everyword that comes out of his mouth.
To look at his word and say, I'm gonna make a commitment to move
opposite. But I'm gonna hold onto this grace that you gave me.
Grace is power and strength to walkup. Right. You are doing what
Romans success, yielding to sin andbecoming a servant to sin. You are
(43:08):
choosing which one you're gonna allow dominionright, You're exactly, you're sin right,
you're letting it rain again, andnow you are no longer free and
need deliverance again. You know.So when we see this, then it
goes into Cain verse twelve. Youknow, I don't know if I want
(43:28):
to if we want to go throughall of these, but just just right
here, though, just right there, and you can keep going because it's
going to talk about Look a versefourteen, real quick, look at verse
fourteen. I't want to skip,but look at verse fourteen. We know
that we have passed from death tolife Romans chapter six, Roman chapter six.
Because we love baptism right, andwe love not he that loves not
(43:52):
his brother abides in death. Whereis this from? This is livitic It's
nineteen. That's the law love yourneighbor as you love yourself, Viticus nineteen.
You know, and the absence ofthis law or keeping this law or
instruction is a manifestation that you abidein death because you don't love your brothers.
(44:15):
You know, whosoever hates his brotheris a murderer. And you know
that no murderer has eternal life stayingin him. You see that if you're
right, because you're breaking tu,you're breaking the law from your heart.
How can you even have life?Or what many people say, how can
you have grace? How can youhold on to grace while you willingly break
(44:37):
it? It's it's impossible. Yeah'sabout restoration. So though when we make
steps in the wrong direction, heis working to restore our steps, you
know, especially if a person israising seven times, that person is making
decisions and then because of their repentanceand because of the mercy of Y'ah,
he's restoring their steps. But youcannot say that this person maintains grace when
(45:04):
they sin. They all know thatyou fall from grace when you sin.
You don't maintain grace. But y'allrestore sin as we walk with him,
you know. And this is whatmaturity is. Now. There's so much
to talk about, but just justas of itself, it gets really deep.
(45:24):
But the focus of baptism of gettingthe bigger picture, connecting First John
Chapter three and Roman six, connectingthat we don't just stop at his death.
You can't. You can't. Don'tjust stop at him resurrecting from the
tomb on the third day, becausethat's all people talk about. Now we
need to start talking about that newnessof life, that new creature. And
(45:47):
Second Corinthians chapter five style the newlifestyle practices, the new way of doing
things and living is according to Hiscommandments and not according to breaking it and
living in sin. And this iswhat baptistm mean when someone asks what does
baptism mean? This is what baptismmeans. When you enter the waters,
you're entering like his death. Youare entering into that right. And then
(46:08):
as your old man is crucified withhim, what there's actually a specific verse
for that. I totally forgot aboutit. But as you your old man
is crucified Roman six, your oldman is crucified with him. Now,
when you come out of those waters, you're a new creature, new life.
This is symbolically referring to what youbelieve the spirit is doing in your
(46:30):
life at that moment. But thewaters is the is the message is a
symbolic message of what your experience shouldbe should be, you know, And
that's why. And what's crazy isall the all these all these denominations nowadays,
all these dominations, they teach thatthe law is done away with right,
(46:50):
and that in itself is weird becausethey teach the laws done away when
the Messiah came and died for us. But then they still tell you,
you know, homosexuality is wrong andthat we should murder people, and they
say whatever, marrying your sister andall that stuff is wrong and tything is
okay. Though definitely don't plant theseeds. Don't transgress the law that I
(47:13):
tell you still remains. Not don'ttrans don't transgress y'all's law, but don't
transgress the ones that we think stillmatters. And to me, I really
believe that's probably one of the biggestwalls for majority of denominations is the fact
they don't continue on even if theyhave the death part understood, the atonement,
the forgiveness, but then they don'thave the empowering part, the life
(47:37):
part. There's no, there's no. So this is why conversion. Conversion
is just yes, I believe youknow the reality of what you're saying is
so true, because this is whythe emphasis on you still being a sinner
is constantly drilled in your heads whileyou're sitting in the pews, like you
(47:57):
are a sinner, We are sinners, that you are still a sinner,
We are sinner, wretched sinners.Oh, I'm a sinner. You're a
sinner because I don't know what thepower of a new life looks like.
Because I'm living in sin still.I do away with the with the law
so I can still sin and telleveryone you can have grace. And it's
(48:24):
it's a lie. It's a liethat has been And I believe that y'ah
winks at our ignorance. According toActs of Course seventeen, he winks at
our ignorance, the things that wedon't know. He's not looking at us
saying I'm gonna condemn you and destroyyou with the things that you don't know.
This is a deception that has beengenerational, like this has been taught
for years, hundreds of years.So us coming out of this by just
(48:45):
simply examining slowly each chapter, you'regonna find out this book is not being
preached at all. There's a wholenew book and ideas and philosophy and the
enemy. He has been really good. I mean, like we just read,
he is the father of sin,He's the father of transgression. So
(49:06):
what is what? What has herebelled against? He rebelled against the Father,
and he's rebelled against his law,and what is what is he doing
now? For many many years?Makes the law try to go away?
Right right right, makes the lawtry to go away. So the death
and the resurrection is important that ifwe're going to talk about baptism, we
(49:28):
have to include that resurrection, thatnewness of life. We need an understanding
of the death to enter into thatresurrection. And if we understand the resurrection,
we are a new creature. Andthat new creature, what does the
Father say? We are a childheirs to the promise, joint heirs with
the Messiah. So all or nothingor nothing, you can't have death resurrection
(49:53):
stop. No is death resurrection newnessof life in his new life, in
his resurrected life. So you haveto have the full message or you're gonna
have no message. Half a messageis a false message. Part of a
message is a false message. Andpraise y'all for his mercy, because there
(50:14):
have been many men that had partof the message, and they were used
mightily to help in some ways.But it can truth sanctifize. Error does
not sanctify. It's important line uponline upon precept context to study for yourself.
Don't just take one verse. Gounderstand what's being referred to that verse,
(50:36):
the context around it, the situationthat's being mentioned. Understand that and
then go to other places. Don'tjust disregard one because it doesn't fit fit
the little understanding you have. Itall has to come together, absolutely,
and there's so much more. There'sso much more to this. So I
really encourage everyone, like I alwaysdo, go into the word. Study
these things out for yourself, especiallyRomans six and first John three, and
(51:00):
use a concordance. Go to otherplaces that Paul mentions, because you notice
Paul does not teach that the lawis done away with. He does not
teach that period. But it's falseteaching, false doctrine that says that.
So I encourage you. I hopethis was a blessing for all of you.
So from Camp Blue Ridge here atthe feast the Passover and love and
(51:21):
bread y'a'll be with you guys.Yeah. Bless no, bless
Hello, Hello, welcome to anotherepisode of Into the Scriptures. Today we're
coming from Camp Blue Ridge in Virginiahere at Feast of passoverund unleaven bread,
and I'm sitting here with Johnny L. Newman. Hello, Hello, and
today we got something special. Today. We're going to talk about the resurrection
in terms of baptism. Now,I don't know what you've heard out there.
(00:25):
There's a lot of conversation about thedeath and resurrection of the Messiah,
but what individuals are doing is thatthey're stopping at the death. So this
is what we're going to discuss todaybecause there's a lot of different misconceptions,
a lot of different views specifically andreferring to the baptisms. So that's what
we're going to focus on. SoI don't know, Jodielle, if you
(00:47):
heard different things out there. I'mpretty sure you did with all the stuff
you've been doing. And there's afocus, and that focus I don't know
about you. I've seen it quitea bit is on his death right,
absolutely the death on the cross,and also not even the resurrection, but
his life on this earth and thenhis death on the cross. There's no
(01:11):
emphasis of any other experience after that, you know. And one of the
things that is a misconception is that, yeah, I was looking at you
as if he doesn't want to lookat you, as if he wants to
see someone else, or he wantsto see the life of his son,
But in actuality, he wants tosee the life of his son in you.
So many people don't understand that that'sthe experience of the resurrection that we
(01:34):
should desire and what's crazy. Solike, one of the primary reasons for
me, especially when I did astudy on the resurrection, what blew my
mind is the fact that how manyof the denominations today where they just focus
on that death right and then whenthey talk about the resurrection on the side,
they just talk about how he resurrectedon that third day, but they
(01:57):
don't talk about that life, thatlife that he now gives you. And
to me, that blew me awaybecause that life is important to understand,
because that life is the whole purposeof the death and resurrection, his death
forgiving our sins, becoming that atonementfor us, but then also that resurrection
which now gives us the opportunity ofnew life through baptism. So one of
(02:23):
the first places I don't know whatyou have. In reminder, one of
the first places I like to goto is Romans chapter six. Now I
want to remind everybody it is thefeast of unliving Bread, and one of
the days that occurs during the feastof unliving Bread is the day of First
Fruits, which is the symbol ofthe actual resurrection of Messiah. New flash,
(02:50):
guys, is not Easter. It'sactually the day of First Fruits.
That manifesto reveals the memorial of hisresurrection. So just wanted to make sure
that that's an emphasis there. I'mwanted to point out some things where the
word first fruits is mentioned to pertainto his resurrection. So okay, so
let's go first to Romans chapter six. Romans chapter six, and I know
(03:15):
what ends up happening is I'm actuallyjust going to go ahead and read from
one to four. But what endsup happening when we talk about baptism or
his death and his resurrection, we'regoing to see a pattern of how his
life that resurrected life he now orwe are now able to obtain that life
as well. And one thing peoplealways say is, oh, because of
(03:38):
that, we don't have to keepthe law or anything. But it's interesting
when we read these verses, howit doesn't say that. So they're going
to be implementing I think I knowwhat you're going I'm gonna implement certain definitions
for certain words so that that claritycould kind of be seen. But go
ahead. So in Romans chapter six, I'm going to read until verse fources
(04:01):
what shall we say, then shallwe continue in sin? That grace may
abound? God forbid? How shallwe that are dead to sin live any
longer? Therein So, right offof the bat, here's Paul speaking,
and Paul's just laying it out.What shall we say then shall we continue
in sin? That grace me abrown? So just because we have grace,
(04:24):
we have grace through the Messiah,doesn't give us the right to go
around sinning. Absolutely. Now,one thing I want to do is insert
the definition of sin from First Johnchapter three, verse four. Yes,
go ahead. So First John chapterthree, verse four says, whosoever commits
sin is transgressing the law, becausesin is the transgression of the law.
(04:53):
So whenever you see the word sin, if you input or insert the understanding
of transgressing the law, you wouldsee that there's a specific thing that Y'ah
or that his prophets is saying notto do anymore, you know. So
it's when you read in Romans,how can is he that is free?
(05:16):
Did you say, did you readthe first one? Yes? What shall
we say? Then? Shall wecontinue in sin that grace may have bound?
God forbid? So shall we continuein the transgressing of the law so
that grace can abound? Yeah,forbid? So you see, if you
insert it, it gets a bigger, a more broader understanding of what they're
talking about pertaining to sin. Andthat's what you're the understanding of sin.
(05:41):
If you have the proper understanding sinaccording to scripture, that is what should
be coming to mind when we talkabout sin. It's talking about the transgression
of the law. That's what sinis, transgression of the law, breaking
the law. So when and thisis Paul himself, and Paul's in agreement
with all the prophets, He's inagreement with the Torah to not continue in
sin. Just because we have grace, just because the Father has showed us
(06:03):
mercy, does not mean we cancontinue on doing the same exact things that
we needed saving from. So continuingin verse three, knowing not that so
many of us, as we're baptizedinto who show the Messiah, were baptized
into his death. Therefore we areburied with him by baptism into death.
(06:24):
That like the Messiah, was raisedup from the dead by the glory of
the Father, even so we alsoshould walk in newness of life. And
my point is this. We talkabout his death, we talk about how
he was in atonement for us,but a great aspect of it is the
baptismal part being baptized. How wealso partake in that death as well.
(06:46):
We also are baptized into his death. The question he asked in verse three
is is a rhetorical one of somethingthat we should know. That we should
know that we are baptized like hewas, like he died, we also
are baptized similarly. And then whenyou get to verse four, therefore we
are buried with him by baptism intodeath, and not just his death,
(07:12):
but then the focus of and thisis the whole pivotal thing for me,
that like the Messiah was raised upfrom the dead by the glory of the
Father, even so we also shouldwalk in newness of life, so that
life after his resurrection is the focusthat no one is focusing on. They
only focus on the death part andjust say, oh, you resurrected on
the third day. But there's somethingabout this newness of life now that is
(07:34):
not being talked about, right,And you know, there's an aspect of
the death that's not understood as well. You know, it says in the
likeness of his death right. Oneof the verses in Romans I think you're
gonna come up to is talking aboutwhen he died, he died to sin,
(07:55):
meaning that the sin that was inhis flesh or on his flesh was
not in his mind or in hisheart right he was. He died and
resurrected without the sin. He neversinned in his heart and mind towards him,
but the sin was on him.And when he died, he raised
(08:16):
without the sin, because he didn'traise with the fleshy body. So it's
interested in how this experience of resurrectionis washing your sins away, right,
removal of sins, and then walkingin the newness of life without the transgression
(08:37):
of the law. You know,just as Messiah was guilty of the world's
sins on him died and when heresurrected. He resurrected without the sins of
the world on him, you knowwhat I mean. So it's interested in
how it says we die like him, And that even goes into the verse
(08:58):
five. For if we have beenplanning together in the likeness of his death,
we shall also be in the likenessof his resurrection. From that flesh,
that fleshly being that we are theflesher being, we enter into that
death through baptism, and then aswe raise, we become something new,
(09:18):
this new life, this newness oflife that we are supposed to have,
just like a messiah, he resurrected. Right, Read that again, Read
that part again. For if wehave been planted together in the likeness of
his death, we shall all weshall be also in the likeness of his
resurrection. So so if you didnot, if you were not planted in
(09:41):
the likeness of his death. Soif you partake in baptism but not the
way that he is doing it,then you cannot live the way that he
is doing it. Now you know, in his resurrected life. You cannot
partake in a resurrected life life ifyou do not die to the transgression of
(10:03):
the law. If you go intobaptism and you have not, I would
say despised the sin that you've committed, or I would say recognize that sin
can no longer be a part ofyour life. You can't partake in this
(10:24):
newness of life because sin is whatreveals the old life. Transgressing you as
law is what reveals the old life. So that statement is just so powerful.
Now It's kind of like, arepeople actually teaching the death properly?
You know? And we were goingto go as the pivotal thing. We
were going into the resurrection and peopleteaching the resurrection probably, But are people
(10:48):
teaching the death probably? You know, can't even get to the resurrection unless
you understand the death from Messiah andhow you ought to die the way he
did to sin as well. Itshows his That's more powerful to me,
like knowing that we can partake init. It's a gift. Knowing that
we can partake in it, andthat this is a promise. Everything we're
(11:09):
reading here, this is a promisethat he's giving to us, allowing us
to partake in this, this newlife, this resurrection, not just the
death but also the resurrection. Andthen when they get to like verse six,
it says, knowing this that ourold man is crucified with him,
that the body of sin might bedestroyed, that henceforth we should not serve
sin. That newness of life givesus the power to say no to sin.
(11:35):
We're no longer shackled to the fleshof sinning. Right, So,
the the cravings and the propensities,we're not ruled by the cravings, you
know, We're not ruled by theurges anymore. We're free from the urges.
So when the urge do will come. It's not saying that the urges
won't come. When they do come, you rule over it. It doesn't
(11:58):
it no longer will rules over you. Because you are You are alive.
You are alive because you are separatefrom it. You're not in control of
it. If your flesh takes control, you can't really truly live. You
know, you can't really be alivewhen something is dictating your every move.
You're actually being You're actually a slave. And what's crazy is that if you
(12:22):
have a false understanding or incorrect understandingof his death, you don't partake in
that resurrection or that new life.Right that the Messiah clearly is our example.
But let's say you do. Youdo have the correct understanding of his
death, but you don't have aunderstand understanding of his resurrection, that new
life. This is something that's alwaysgoing to be a shackle over you.
(12:46):
Because I know for me in mywalk, what was really hard is man
I just keep on sinning. Man, I keep because I have a totally
different understanding of the fact that nowI can overcome. Now I have the
power through the Messiah, of course, but now I have the to do
it before kind of just I don'thave the feeling or something's wrong. And
you identify and declare yourself as asinner, you will produce sin. You
(13:11):
know, when you say you're asinner, you're saying I cannot do what
y'all commands because sin is a transgressionof as law. So if you're identifying
as a person that doesn't do y'all'scommands, you know, I'm a person
that doesn't do what y'all says.Saved by grace, you see now when
(13:35):
you're saved. You see that whenthey say saved by grace, they mix
it together like it's just one phrasethat means you believe. No, you're
saved, saved from what sin?How by grace? So I'm a sinner
saved from what from being a sinner. You can't be saved from being a
(13:58):
sin there and still be a sin. It's actually what you One of the
things you did for Q and Aactually earlier today was the identity knowing yes,
knowing that this is a promise givento you. Do you accept this
promise? Do you accept this powerthat He's giving to you? And that's
why in verse seven, for hethat is dead is freed from sin.
(14:20):
This is why we're freed from sinwhen we live with the spirit. This
is why we're freed from sin,free from transgressing his commands. You are
free because we can say no.You can say no to breaking it,
and you can say yes to keepingit, to walking in it, to
living it. I have a wholeI was gonna look at first John chapter
(14:41):
three, after you get through allthose verses. It's crazy how John and
Paul was saying exactly the same thing. But I believe this is also I've
heard you say a couple of timesthat Roman six is like the on top
the unread chapter of religious groups outthere today because of what it real what
is revealing so far is nothing sayingoh, the law is not done away
(15:03):
with. It's showing none of thatat all. But you know what this
is. This is a rebuke.So he's writing a letter to the Romans
and he's telling them, why doyou think that you should live in breaking
Ya's law because you received grace?Yeah, forbid? Don't allow that to
be an idea. You know,one of my brother rud he from Assembly
(15:28):
of You, he was reading it. He has some like expository breakdown,
Greek breakdown, and it says banishthe thought. So instead of saying God
forbid, it says, banish thethought from your mind. You know.
That's why he asked the rhetorical questiontoo about his death. If you've been
baptized unto his death, right,right, should you live any longer?
(15:52):
Sin? Banish the thought from yourmind. Don't ever think that this is
acceptable. That's the crazy thing,because that's literally what denominations teacher, well,
what they're teaching right now. It'snot funny. It's like a it's
like a nervous laugh. Guys,all right, It's like I can't believe
(16:12):
this is like a reality, likewe've been told all of our lives from
the pulpit, people that say,don't look at me, see the father.
I don't you know, Father speakthrough me. And then they say
absolute contrary to what this chapter is. And some of them use Paul and
(16:34):
they say, Paul, Paul isgoing to, you know, speak against
his own you know, Paul.Chapter seven speaks against Paul Chapter six.
That doesn't make sense. Yeah,there's a lack of understanding, and it's
a it's an established lack of understandingbecause what's a lack of understanding is considered
understanding. And as we are studyingand simplifying, there shouldn't be any wiggle
(17:00):
room to what's truth. Right.Truth has to be truth and it can't
be two things. It can't betoo contrary ideas something that's true. It
is what it is. A hasto be a. A can't not also
be A and B. It cannotdo that. Truth has to be one
thing. And this is why preceptright and this is where the safety is
(17:26):
because lies has to be the contrastof truth. And if there's many lies,
there has to be one truth,one truth. And Roma six never
read it when it deals with theexperience. But Chapter seven is misunderstood,
and then chapter eight is kind ofbrushed over, or usually people just skip
(17:48):
six and they focus on chapter eight, chapter seven, and they only focus
on the verses that they want tofocus on because it it may we may
have to touch on chapter seven.We can touch a little bit on it
too. Yeah, because then nowhere's verse eight. Now, if we
be dead in the Messiah, webelieve that we all we shall also live
with him. Knowing that the Messiah, being raised from the dead, dieth
(18:11):
no more death, had no moredominion over him. For in that in
that he died, he died untosin once. But in that he liveth
he liveth unto unto Eloheim. Likewise, reckon ye also yourselves to be dead,
indeed unto sin, but alive untoAloheim through who should the Messiah our
master? Let not sin? Thereforethis is the key thing. Let not
(18:36):
sin. Therefore rein in your mortalbody that you should obey it in the
lust thereof Right now, Rain isreferring to R E I G and meaning
I help I spelled R E ID like reigning like a king, like
a person who has dominion. Donot let transgression of the law or or
(18:59):
a practice self trend of breaking y'all'slaw, be dominant in your body,
in your life and your actions.Just looking at the strongs. The word
rain is to rule, be aking over right. So it's interesting how
it uses that because to be free. And this is let's listen to this,
(19:19):
guys, please, we're gonna we'resimplifying these things because we we we're
blown away at this reality of howsimple it is. Two when because we
it because transgressing the law ruled,like you said, right, dominated ruled
us. We the sun sets usfree from that rule. So when it
(19:47):
ruled us, we had to breakthe law aka sin. So now that
we're free from breaking the law akasin, we no longer allow breaking the
law to dominate our lifestyle. Right, So what's being taught primarily, One,
(20:11):
Messiah broke the law. Two,we no longer have to keep the
law. It's done away with.Three, No one can keep the law.
But we just saw that slavery andcaptivity is the reason you couldn't keep
the law. And when the sunsets you free. You can by grace
(20:37):
through him. So it's interesting howpeople say I can do all things through
Christ except keep the law law andit's just it's counterproductive and it's a mixed
message of the gospel. It's noteven like a reality of your transformation.
But the laws I think is avery pivotal evidence of your of you being
(21:03):
born again, because if you can'tkeep the law, it shows that something
is dead. But if you arefreed in Messiah and you can and have
the ability and power to walk accordingto what he says, it reveals obedience
to the law reveals that you arefree from sin aka breaking the law and
just focusing too. On so versethirteen where he says neither yield your members,
(21:26):
I like how he says yield,yield. It's you, It's your
choice, right exactly. So whenyou're you're yielding is to so in greeking
means to stand beside, that is, and to exhibit or recommend. So
you're you're kind of doing You're choosingto do it. You're stepping aside.
You're allowing your will to step asideand then submit to exactly whatever is in
(21:51):
front of you. You are,so you can either step your will aside
and submit to Ya's will, oryou can step aside and submit to your
flesh or sin. The sinfulness ofyour flesh. And so he says,
neither yield your neither yield your membersas instruments of unrighteousness, unto sin,
but yield yourself. And now ittells you where this is. This is
(22:14):
what we should be choosing, Thisis what our will should be going.
We should be allowing, but yieldyourself unto alohem as those that are alive
from the dead. Now what iswhat we just read was talking about the
baptism entering into his death and nowwe're alive. Now we're alive just like
his resurrection. We are alive withthat life, with that newness of life.
(22:37):
And then it says, and yourmembers as instruments of righteousness, meaning
that your lifestyle and actions was centeredaround the captivityvity of needing to sin,
needing to break y'all's law. Sonow that you're free, you can actually
choose and yield your body to promoteactions of obedience. And I'm not saying
(23:03):
that you can keep the law rightaway one hundred and ten percent. I'm
saying that no, no, no, no, no, no, you
can. I'm saying this so mostindividuals would hear us what we're saying right
now, and think, Oh,they think they're perfect one hundred percent right
here, right now. But adjustman may fall, may fall. He
may fall just like in Protasys,just man falls seven times, but a
(23:26):
wicked man falls into darkness. Thedifferences of adjustment and wicked man. Adjustment
gets becca, he asks for repentance, and he keeps going astely. That's
why the scriptures still call him just'sa there's a process because of the nature
of man like, we've gone througha lot of years breaking his law and
(23:51):
feeling the consequences of it and feelingthe desires to do it again and again
and again. So when he freeus, it's literally That's why that verse
says he yields, because when hefrees you, he wants you not to
rely on what you feel or whatyou crave or desire from your body.
(24:11):
He wants you to rely on whaty'all says, and how he's guiding you,
and what direction he's pointing you towalk in. That's what he's telling
you to do. You're surrendering towhat You're surrendering to sinner. You're surrendering
to him now because of our wholeentire life before we met him. This
is what we were engulfed in.So the work of setting us apart is
(24:33):
also the work of understanding. Youmay not understand every aspect of your sins
clearly, and when those things ariseand you fall, he's not pointing at
you saying that you're guilty. He'srevealing it to you and saying, surrender
these things. Yield not to thisagain. I'm showing you this so you
(24:56):
cannot yield to it afterwards. Youknow, if you yield to it,
you're putting yourself back into that captivity. For example, you get married.
You know where I'm going. Yeah, you get married. You're expecting your
(25:18):
wife to be perfect in not committingadultery. She's expecting you to be perfect.
But here's the thing. You canhave a lifestyle in which you was
not faithful. You can also haveexamples like your family or friends who has
been committing adultery in their own relationships. This is the only this is the
(25:40):
only thing you can see that doesnot have any bearing on whether or not
you remain faithful to your wife.If you consider the sin, if you
consider the damage that it does,if you consider and move opposite direction of
what you've been taught, what yousaw with practice, you can be perfect
(26:02):
in you know what a monogamy rightand faithfulness through your strength. You know.
So it's interesting how sometimes we gofrom being single to you know,
having a relationship and then we require, you know, striving to be perfect
(26:27):
in certain principles. And then whenwe look at the scriptures and he's asking
for the same thing in a relationshipwith him, we're saying it can't happen.
But then we look at our spouseand say, I vow to never
(26:47):
you know. And then we lookat our children and say, never lie
to me, you know, neversteal from me, always come to me.
It sounds like yeah, actually itsounds like yeah, telling his commandments
to this people that you know,down't don't bear false witness, don't lie,
love your neighbor, love your siblings. You know, this is what
we tell our children. And thenwe have this expectation like if you don't,
(27:11):
there's a consequence, you know,whether it's a natural consequence for you,
and then there's a punishment from me. But then we turn to you
and say, we can never dothat. We can never do what you're
asking. Well, to clarify,to clarify what I'm talking about is that
like that process? Because if Ihad I had someone talk to me and
(27:32):
go, oh you keep you keepthe law, and yes, I do,
so you do everything. I'm Ihave weaknesses. I have weaknesses that
are still being revealed to me,Like you just said, but we can
we can do everything. We havethe power to do everything. Yeah,
but also you need to be sometimesyou just say at the moment, like
(27:52):
what do you what are you gonnatell me I'm guilty of at the moment,
you know, you can't bring upsins that y'all forgive me from for
especially when I ask for You can'ttell me I'm walking every day looking at
something and just breaking blatantly breaking.Yeah. Oh, you know we're here
at the feasts, you know,seven days in the scriptures, fellowshipping with
(28:15):
one another, you know, biblicalconversations, lifting each other up. Like
can people really say they were justsitting last night or the whole day we
spent together, we were just there'ssomething happened and we just send like sometimes
you have the victory that whole day, these two days, these whole week.
You know, this is the strengthof y'all, not the strength of
(28:36):
men. This is the ability thaty'all has in us, not the ability
that we have away from him.You know. So when somebody come and
say, yeah, you're not talkingto me about my past. You're talking
to me about right now. Soat the moment, sure, what can
you say now, you think Paul. When Paul said I'm the chief of
sinners, he's referring to his past, right, He's not talking about I'm
(28:57):
the chief of sinner right now.Yeah, breaking the law every single day,
you know, but the law isgood, by the way, No,
you know, don't don't don't peoplepeople actually say that. By the
way, That's why he says cheapof sinners is because he continues to say
he continues to sin and then tellother people they're not inheriting the kingdom of
the heaven with the same stuff thatthey are that he is performing. Or
(29:19):
he says stuff like this where wehave the power because the very last verse
says for sin shall not have dominion, right, it shall not when you
are in the resurrection of Massiah,when you're living the life with Massiah,
Massiah's very life is in you,with you, empowering you. This is
(29:40):
what you have. So to clarify, I'm not saying you can't keep it.
You can. I'm just referring moreto that process. Absolutely, there
is a process, because sin runsdeep, it runs deep. And Yeah,
is in the business of putting theacts at the root instead of handling
the symptoms. You know, he'snot plucking the fruit of the sitting until
(30:03):
the tree has no more fruit.No, he's cutting the tree down.
He's dealing with the whole root ofthe problem, not just the symptoms.
Now, I wanted to read aradical chapter from John, which one,
First John Chapter three, First Johnchapter three. Yeah, this is the
untouched chapter, the untouched John chapter. Now we know the Book of John
(30:30):
talks about being born again. Itsays that John chapter one, verse twelve
and thirteen, if you believe,if you receive him, then he gives
you power to become sons and daughtersof course of Eloheen. That is born
not by the will of man,nor by the will of the flesh,
but of Eloheen. Of Yeah,you are born of him. So the
(30:52):
will of man, the will ofthe flesh, is no longer a factor
in this new experience that you have, aka the resurrected life. You know,
you're born again, and you arenow empowered and united with the spirits.
Calls you a new creature. Absolutely, Second Corinthians chapter five seven.
(31:12):
He who is in Messiah is anew new creature. Old things are passed
away, all things have become new. So look at what it says here.
First John chapter three, again startingwith being born again, being transformed,
just like Romans six, Just likeJohn chapter one. Now we're in
(31:33):
First John chapter three. Behold whatmanner of love the Father has bestowed upon
us, that we should be calledthe children of Elohem. Therefore the world
does not know us because it doesnot know him. So the first aspect
is your whole identity is shifted.They don't even know you anymore. It's
crazy that if the world knows you, that's a problem. That's a problem.
(31:56):
So but they don't know you.Now, this doesn't mean that you're
gonna like shape shift. No,your face is gonna be disfigured or changed.
No, you're different. Your life, the way that you speak,
the way that you think, thechoices that you make, the decisions that
you make, the lifestyle, thedirection that you walk. Everything now centers
around a different way, a differentway of doing things. And this is
(32:22):
why the nature of the world iscontrary to the nature that you have now
as the sons and daughters of Eloheim. So verse two, beloved, now
are we the children of Alohem.And it does not yet appear what we
shall be. But when we knowthat when we he shall appear, when
he will appear, we will belike him. So we don't know,
(32:46):
but we trust because he promises this. So because of this promise, we
have to trust the process. Wetrust that he's making us like his son.
So when his son appears, wewill be. We shall be life
right right, for we shall seehim as he is. Verse three.
(33:07):
Every man that has this hope inhim purifies himself, even as he is
pure. So even as Messiah ispure, by this hope, he purifies
himself. Let me explain, theassurance of this promise is enabling me to
shed during the process to shed,and to not rely on the cravings on
(33:32):
the propensities. Because I am lookingfor Yeah to make me into his son.
I am relying on moving away fromtransgression of the law to keeping the
law. And so look at this. When he says he purifies himself the
very next verse, whoever commits sintransgress the law because sin is a transgression
(33:57):
of the law. So I wantto stress the purifying of yourself is no
longer transgressing the law, no longersinning. To remove sin, it's right
there. To remove sin and purifyyourself is to stop transgressing the law and
live like him. Nobody could sayhe came to this world and sin.
(34:20):
Right, We all say he walkedperfectly. And it's interesting how the life
that he had in his earth hit. The resurrected power that we receive from
his life now enables us to walklike he walked on this earth. So
it's not the other way around.The way he walks on his work earth
is given to you. You getcredit for what he did. No,
(34:44):
he did that to show you whathe did with the power he resurrected,
and he gives this power to you, and now you walk the way he
walked before when he was here.Now, some individuals they'll just focus because
I know we're going to continue toread here. And it says, let's
say verse five, and you knowthat he was manifested to take away our
(35:04):
sin. You know in him isno sin. Whosoever abideth in him sinneth
not whosoever Syneth has not seen it. You're talking this is too radical,
this is too much now. That'sexactly what they were to say, though,
saying too much. Hey, sinis the transgression of the law.
The laws. Sin is the transgressionof the law. And you know he
(35:25):
was manifested to take away the transgressionof the law. So if you are
thinking that you can live and breakthe law, you are living in sin.
You are living contrary to the freedomand the purpose of why And you
can probably search yourself on YouTube.I don't know if you've ever seen it
(35:45):
there as a pastor, it wasa megachurch, and he used I guess
an allegory, right, and hegoes it's like it's like a speed limit
on a highway. The speed limit, the speed limit sixty five, but
as you're going faster than sixty five, and the police pulls you over,
he gives you a ticket, andthen the Messiah gives you grace and pulls
(36:06):
down that speed limit so you cancontinue speeding. No, no, he
didn't say that. That's what hesaid. You can look it up on
YouTube. It's pretty bad because hesays, we can now there's no more
law. That's literally what they teacheverybody listening. If you saw that,
please send that to us so wecan have another podcast and play it for
(36:28):
everyone. If you see it,please send it because that I don't have
no doubt that you saw that,but I want that to be exposed because
that's just and the way it's supposedto be is you break the speed limit,
pulls you over, and the officershows you mercy, he shows you
grace. It doesn't mean you canget right back on the road and break
(36:49):
it again. Right, you getback on the road and drive your behind
probably even two points under this makingsure you don't limit. But now you
have John here, right, youhave John who's clearly saying I love verse
sex. Whosoever abideth in him sinneth. Now you're getting radical. Whosoever syneth
(37:10):
he has not seen him. Right, whoever stays in him, he says
neither no, right. Right,So let me let me like when you
add Roman six with first John three, it's it's over. It's over.
But and you can see the harmonybetween the decided apostles because there's a lot
(37:31):
going on. You know, peoplesaying that Paul was against the apostles silliness.
But you can see the harmony betweenhow radical Paul was about the power
of Messiah in you and how radicalJohn was about the power of Messiah.
And you know so six whosoever abidesin him, or let me simplify,
(37:52):
stays in him, does not transgressthe law. You see that, And
why we just writeing in Roman sexbecause we have that new life. And
whoever transgresses the law has not seenhim or know him. Now remember in
the very beginning it says the worlddoes not know him and it doesn't know
(38:12):
us. Why because the world istransgressing his law and we are not.
So it tells you a little bitmore detailed. If you stay in him,
you won't transgress the law. Butif you transfers the law, you
don't know him, just like theworld. This is why these chapters are
not talked about. This is whythey're not talked about because the moment you
talk about you have to explain it. Now, wait, you have to
(38:34):
explain it. But I'm just sayingto me, it's crazy the fact that
these chapters, it's not just oneverse, but these chapters exist, just
chapters. Just read verse reverse godown, and they're not being explained.
And if they are used, andlike I've seen it, people just cherry
pick. They pick a verse,say, oh, look, and you
know that he was manifest to takeaway our sins, and in him is
(38:57):
no sin. I've seen that.I've seen that one before. That it
defines, it defines what it is. And then that's the context for the
rest of the chapter. You haveto you have to insert the meaning of
sin in order to understand what's happening, what's being taken away, what the
righteous is not doing any longer,what the unrighteous is doing. I'll watch
this, little children. This isverse seven, first John, chapter three,
(39:22):
Little children, do not let mandeceive you. He that does righteousness,
now the context is keeping the law, is not breaking the law.
He that does righteousness, or hethat does not break the law is righteous,
even as he the Messiah is righteous. And just just throwing out there.
(39:44):
The Greek word for righteousness is equityor justification, and then the other
righteous is equitable, deed, right, righteous or justified actions, justified action.
Yeah, something that is law right, the these two verses, and
it's just interesting how we can ifyou slow down, if you slow down
(40:05):
and look at each verse for whatit is, and connect each verse together
like a chain line upo ling priestcontacts this key. Yeah, it is
safety. Look at what it sayshere verse eight and nine. He that
commits a transgression of the law isof the devil, because the devil transgresses
(40:27):
Ya's commands from the beginning. Forthis reason, the son of Eloheem is
manifested so he can destroy the worksof the devil. What's the works of
the devil? Transgression transgression breaking Ya'scommands from the beginning. So the son
of man is manifested to destroy theworks of breaking Ya's commands. Whosoever is
(40:51):
born of Elohem does not commit.That word commits is This is one of
the verses I've seen just used alone. Now, the word commit means to
make a commitment to break his law, meaning eyes wide open. This is
not talking about ignorance. It actuallysays that great to make or do willingly.
(41:15):
Yeah, there we go to agree, there we go pray'. This
is this is a manifestation to commit. Like when you make a commitment,
you are looking at something, analyzingsomething and saying, okay, let's let's
do it. So it says whoeveris born of Ellahem does not look at
the breaking of his law, analyzethe breaking of his law. And that
(41:37):
person who is born of y'all doesnot say, let's break this m It
says. It's not something done willingly. Right, it says, because his
seed stays in him and he cannotsin. It's pretty radical because he is
born of Belohem, because he's partakingthat new life. So the Messiah,
(42:00):
the seed, the son of y'all, stays in him, the spirit stays
in him. Minna, he wasmanifested to destroy the works of the devil.
What's the work. That's why Paulsays, if you live with the
spirit, you're not under the law. And the reason why you're not under
loss because you're not transgression, transgressingthe law right willingly, willing. Yes,
(42:21):
Now, everybody can make a choice. When you make the choice willingly,
you are separating yourself from the graceof Ya. You don't maintain grace
willingly, destroying the covenant or agreementthat you had with him to do or
live according to whatever comes out ofhis mouth. Right man shall not live
(42:44):
by bread alone, but by everyword that comes out of his mouth.
To look at his word and say, I'm gonna make a commitment to move
opposite. But I'm gonna hold onto this grace that you gave me.
Grace is power and strength to walkup. Right. You are doing what
Romans success, yielding to sin andbecoming a servant to sin. You are
(43:08):
choosing which one you're gonna allow dominionright, You're exactly, you're sin right,
you're letting it rain again, andnow you are no longer free and
need deliverance again. You know.So when we see this, then it
goes into Cain verse twelve. Youknow, I don't know if I want
(43:28):
to if we want to go throughall of these, but just just right
here, though, just right there, and you can keep going because it's
going to talk about Look a versefourteen, real quick, look at verse
fourteen. I't want to skip,but look at verse fourteen. We know
that we have passed from death tolife Romans chapter six, Roman chapter six.
Because we love baptism right, andwe love not he that loves not
(43:52):
his brother abides in death. Whereis this from? This is livitic It's
nineteen. That's the law love yourneighbor as you love yourself, Viticus nineteen.
You know, and the absence ofthis law or keeping this law or
instruction is a manifestation that you abidein death because you don't love your brothers.
(44:15):
You know, whosoever hates his brotheris a murderer. And you know
that no murderer has eternal life stayingin him. You see that if you're
right, because you're breaking tu,you're breaking the law from your heart.
How can you even have life?Or what many people say, how can
you have grace? How can youhold on to grace while you willingly break
(44:37):
it? It's it's impossible. Yeah'sabout restoration. So though when we make
steps in the wrong direction, heis working to restore our steps, you
know, especially if a person israising seven times, that person is making
decisions and then because of their repentanceand because of the mercy of Y'ah,
he's restoring their steps. But youcannot say that this person maintains grace when
(45:04):
they sin. They all know thatyou fall from grace when you sin.
You don't maintain grace. But y'allrestore sin as we walk with him,
you know. And this is whatmaturity is. Now. There's so much
to talk about, but just justas of itself, it gets really deep.
(45:24):
But the focus of baptism of gettingthe bigger picture, connecting First John
Chapter three and Roman six, connectingthat we don't just stop at his death.
You can't. You can't. Don'tjust stop at him resurrecting from the
tomb on the third day, becausethat's all people talk about. Now we
need to start talking about that newnessof life, that new creature. And
(45:47):
Second Corinthians chapter five style the newlifestyle practices, the new way of doing
things and living is according to Hiscommandments and not according to breaking it and
living in sin. And this iswhat baptistm mean when someone asks what does
baptism mean? This is what baptismmeans. When you enter the waters,
you're entering like his death. Youare entering into that right. And then
(46:08):
as your old man is crucified withhim, what there's actually a specific verse
for that. I totally forgot aboutit. But as you your old man
is crucified Roman six, your oldman is crucified with him. Now,
when you come out of those waters, you're a new creature, new life.
This is symbolically referring to what youbelieve the spirit is doing in your
(46:30):
life at that moment. But thewaters is the is the message is a
symbolic message of what your experience shouldbe should be, you know, And
that's why. And what's crazy isall the all these all these denominations nowadays,
all these dominations, they teach thatthe law is done away with right,
(46:50):
and that in itself is weird becausethey teach the laws done away when
the Messiah came and died for us. But then they still tell you,
you know, homosexuality is wrong andthat we should murder people, and they
say whatever, marrying your sister andall that stuff is wrong and tything is
okay. Though definitely don't plant theseeds. Don't transgress the law that I
(47:13):
tell you still remains. Not don'ttrans don't transgress y'all's law, but don't
transgress the ones that we think stillmatters. And to me, I really
believe that's probably one of the biggestwalls for majority of denominations is the fact
they don't continue on even if theyhave the death part understood, the atonement,
the forgiveness, but then they don'thave the empowering part, the life
(47:37):
part. There's no, there's no. So this is why conversion. Conversion
is just yes, I believe youknow the reality of what you're saying is
so true, because this is whythe emphasis on you still being a sinner
is constantly drilled in your heads whileyou're sitting in the pews, like you
(47:57):
are a sinner, We are sinners, that you are still a sinner,
We are sinner, wretched sinners.Oh, I'm a sinner. You're a
sinner because I don't know what thepower of a new life looks like.
Because I'm living in sin still.I do away with the with the law
so I can still sin and telleveryone you can have grace. And it's
(48:24):
it's a lie. It's a liethat has been And I believe that y'ah
winks at our ignorance. According toActs of Course seventeen, he winks at
our ignorance, the things that wedon't know. He's not looking at us
saying I'm gonna condemn you and destroyyou with the things that you don't know.
This is a deception that has beengenerational, like this has been taught
for years, hundreds of years.So us coming out of this by just
(48:45):
simply examining slowly each chapter, you'regonna find out this book is not being
preached at all. There's a wholenew book and ideas and philosophy and the
enemy. He has been really good. I mean, like we just read,
he is the father of sin,He's the father of transgression. So
(49:06):
what is what? What has herebelled against? He rebelled against the Father,
and he's rebelled against his law,and what is what is he doing
now? For many many years?Makes the law try to go away?
Right right right, makes the lawtry to go away. So the death
and the resurrection is important that ifwe're going to talk about baptism, we
(49:28):
have to include that resurrection, thatnewness of life. We need an understanding
of the death to enter into thatresurrection. And if we understand the resurrection,
we are a new creature. Andthat new creature, what does the
Father say? We are a childheirs to the promise, joint heirs with
the Messiah. So all or nothingor nothing, you can't have death resurrection
(49:53):
stop. No is death resurrection newnessof life in his new life, in
his resurrected life. So you haveto have the full message or you're gonna
have no message. Half a messageis a false message. Part of a
message is a false message. Andpraise y'all for his mercy, because there
(50:14):
have been many men that had partof the message, and they were used
mightily to help in some ways.But it can truth sanctifize. Error does
not sanctify. It's important line uponline upon precept context to study for yourself.
Don't just take one verse. Gounderstand what's being referred to that verse,
(50:36):
the context around it, the situationthat's being mentioned. Understand that and
then go to other places. Don'tjust disregard one because it doesn't fit fit
the little understanding you have. Itall has to come together, absolutely,
and there's so much more. There'sso much more to this. So I
really encourage everyone, like I alwaysdo, go into the word. Study
these things out for yourself, especiallyRomans six and first John three, and
(51:00):
use a concordance. Go to otherplaces that Paul mentions, because you notice
Paul does not teach that the lawis done away with. He does not
teach that period. But it's falseteaching, false doctrine that says that.
So I encourage you. I hopethis was a blessing for all of you.
So from Camp Blue Ridge here atthe feast the Passover and love and
(51:21):
bread y'a'll be with you guys.Yeah. Bless no, bless

Model Wars
On the surface, the modeling industry in the 80s was about parties and pretty clothes, but underneath the flash, there were drugs, sex, and violence. And Paul Fisher, a former straight-A student from the San Fernando Valley, rose to prominence amidst the turmoil. After a chance encounter with an alleged mobster, Paul suddenly found himself with a million dollars in funding and the chance to start a modeling agency in New York City. The city was then embroiled in a “model war” between industry titans Eileen Ford and John Casablancas, and Paul tried to make his mark. But even as Paul thrived in the party-heavy culture of the time, burning cash like a furnace, he came face to face with the darkest forces in the industry. As his shady backers put the screws to him, Paul faced down deadly consequences, trying to make a star while saving his soul.
