with meaning as he takes you on a chapter by chapter verse by verse study of God's letter to you the Bible and now here is pastor Dennis Murray good day to you god bless you welcome to shepherd's chapel welcome to this family Bible study our excuse me ready to get back into our father's word here at the chapel we invite you to get your Bible and join us if you care to we're gonna pick it up today first Kings chapter 22 verse 43 which was a good place for us to stop in our last lesson you see at the end of verse 42 was the end of the 18th setter and for those of you don't know a setter a hebrew word and it's divisions of a book of the Bible prescribed reading at one sitting so in other words this verse 42 was the last verse in the 18th Center or division of the book the nineteenth center of course begins with 40 verse 43 and ends with 2nd Kings chapter 2 verse 14 therefore proving that the book should be treated the original book was treated as one single book rather than two books now and and also will note that the end of this first Kings chapter 22 verse 53 kind of splits the history of Ahaz ayah the son of Ahab king of Israel the ten tribes and also the history of Elisha the prophet so with that introduction let's ask that word of wisdom and you she was precious named father we ask you to open eyes open ears this day as we pick it up today first kings chapter 22 verse 43 and it reads and he thus referring to Jehoshaphat who has just we began his history in verse 42 with his beginning of his reign and he walked in all the ways of ASA his father he turned not aside from it doing that which was right in the eyes of the Lord nevertheless the high places were not taken away for the people offered and burnt incense yet in the high places ASA the father of Jehoshaphat king of Judah was also a very righteous King neither one of them ever fell into idolatry worshiping the heathen gods on the other side of the house you have the house of Israel the ten northern tribes after the split and their worshipping anything and everything other than Yahweh I'm talking BHEL worship ki maj the related to the sun god Molech the the god that the heathens would sacrifice their children to so who do you think was going to be blessed the nation of Judah or the nation of Israel this nevertheless the high places were not taken away these high places were to worship other gods or that were utilized to worship Jehovah howbeit it was still illegal worship you you were to worship Jehovah in Jerusalem not until the time of Josiah who was prophesied some three hundred and sixty years before his death would these high places be completely taken away verse 44 and Jehoshaphat made peace with the king of Israel this means that he had friendly relations and we had already discussed in earlier chapters that Jehoshaphat son married a Thalia the daughter of Ahab and Jezebel the king of the ten northern tribes and the repercussions of that unity that marriage we still not seen the full fallout of that you see jor ham will kill all of his brothers making sure that there is no one else that can take the throne of Judah but then jor ham dies and through a strange turn of events atholea the daughter of Ahab and Jezebel becomes the queen of Judah for some six years Jerusalem would never be the same verse 45 now the rest of the acts of Jehoshaphat and his might that he showed and how he Ward are they not written in the book of The Chronicles of the kings of Judah and yes they are you can read about him in second chronicles chapter 18 verse 46 and the remnant of the sodomites which remained in the days of his father ASA he took out of the land ASA not able to completely do away with the sodomites but Jehoshaphat was sodomites check it out in your Strong's Concordance we're talking about male prostitutes and you know what sodomy is you know why God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah he's not going to put up with that it's an abomination to him on a spiritual level the sodomites you could think of them as male and female for that matter religious prostitutes 47 there was then no King in Edom a deputy was king and the stating that there was no king of the royal seed line of the and a deputy was appointed to be king instead of the royal seed line and that deputy King was appointed by the king of Judah which controlled the area of Edom at the time and the reason that was stated covered in the next verse verse 48 Jehoshaphat made ships of tarshish these were ships able of making long voyages by sea to go to offer for gold long known to be the purest and the best gold but they went not for the ships were broken at easy on jibber now a has iya the king of the ten northern tribes a hab son you see he's been friendly with Jehoshaphat he's saying you know hey you guys are going down to Ophir to load up on that gold and precious woods algum as it's called in the Book of Chronicles and I'd like to sign up for that cruise I would let me send some of my guys with your guys and fetch some of that gold from Oh fer now easy on deburr is located on the southern portion of Edom and that's the reason that it was talking about there was no King in Edom at the time because Judah controlled Edom which gave them access to easy on Giver easy on Bieber was located on the Gulf of Aqaba and you see Jerusalem the only other port that they had was Joppa which was located on the Mediterranean Sea but this port that easy on Bieber gave them access to the Persian Gulf as we refer to it today and much much much more of the world you see if you go from the Mediterranean to the Persian Gulf you have to go all the way around the horn of to do that we learn in the Chronicles second chronicles chapter 20 that these ships were smashed by a storm at easy on gibber if one negative thing to be said about Jehoshaphat it was the relationships that he had with a hab and a his aya the son of Ahab the kings of Israel the ten tribes to the north why did a storm come up well it states they're in second chronicles chapter 20 verse 36 and 37 Eliezer the prophet sent by God to tell Jehoshaphat I don't want you going to offer with a has ayah that was the reason the storm smashed your ships verse 49 then said a has ayah the son of Ahab unto Jehoshaphat let my servants go with my servants in the ships but Jehoshaphat would not now this is a second attempt by a his I had to sin after the ships were smashed they rebuilt the ships and a his ayah wasn't giving up he wanted some of those riches from over Jehoshaphat fortunately listened to the prophet of God and refused to let a has ayah go that was the reason the ships were broken up by the storm in verse 50 and Jehoshaphat slept with his father's and was buried with his fathers in the City of David his father in Jerusalem in other words and Johor 'im his son reigned in his stead ahora means if he translated yah has exalted and yah won't do as much exalting of Johor 'm as johan will himself as i said he will kill all murder all of his brothers the seed royal to make sure out of jealousy that none of them could take the throne if something were to happen to him he would be it in other words but then he ended up dying and and as I said a liya the daughter of Ahab and Jezebel through a strange set of circumstances became the queen of Judah things went downhill verse 51 a 'has ayah the son of Ahab began to reign over Israel in Samaria that's the capital the 17th year end yeah the 17th year of Jehoshaphat king of Judah and reigned two years over Israel two years not that long of a reign as kings go and of course we had that prophecy that the seed line of Ahab was going to be completely wiped out why because of what he and Jezebel did to Namath when they stolen a boat's fin iord all the males would eventually be wiped out verse 52 and he did evil in the sight of the Lord and walked in the way of his father this is a hab and in the way of his mother that's Jezebel they were baile worshippers in fact as Jezebel's father was a bail priest in in Tyre is where she was from or Zeidan I should say and in the way of Jeroboam the son of Nebat who made Israel to sin Jeroboam the first man king of the ten northern tribes after the split he was infamous for making the two golden calves of which he placed one in Dan and one in bethel and told the people you don't need to go down to Jerusalem to worship Yahweh here you have these two golden calves these two golden calves brought to your ancestors out of bondage in Egypt worship them 53 and he served bail this means that he not only served him but the he adored bail and worshipped him and provoked to anger the Lord God of Israel according to all that his father had done things not going to go well when you're causing the Lord to abour you and we come to the book of 2nd Kings as it appears in the King James Version Bible one thing to note some of you have Bibles that state that the second book of Kings commonly called the fourth book of Kings as my Bible States the reason for that is that in the subdue Junt which is a Greek translation of the Old Testament 1st and 2nd Samuel are referred to as 1st and 2nd Kings and therefore 1st and 2nd Kings are referred to 3rd and 4th Kings respectively now in Chapter 1 we come to now let's go ahead and read verse 1 and then we'll explain chapter 1 verse 1 2nd Kings then Moab rebelled against Israel after the death of Ahab now Moab had been under the subjection of Israel even before the split of the nation shortly after David's death during the reign of Solomon Moab became subject to Israel and it remained with the under the thumb if you will of the ten northern tribes even after the split of the nation and when Ahab the king of Israel died Moab saw opportunity they thought well there's a weakness here let's take advantage of it so we'll repel against a has ayat in second samuel chapter 8 verse 2 we learned that David partially conquered the Moabites which partially fulfilled the Book of Numbers chapter 24 verse 17 when the Lord said I will smite the corners of Moab meaning from border to border all of it in other words verse 2 and a has ayah he's the king of Israel at this time fell down through a lattice in his upper chamber that was in Samaria and was sick or he was injured and he sent messengers and said unto them go inquire of Bale's above the God of Ekron whether I shall recover of this disease ekron being one of the five major cities of the Philistines and as you can tell by the name bales above the god small G was a god of the heathens so you have the king of Israel sending people to inquire of belzebub which means Lord of the Flies in Matthew chapter 24 excuse me chapter 12 verse 24 where he's the name is the same but the Greek translation or transliteration is BAE l and then the Zebub it states there that he's of the abominable idols and of idolatry and it would be blasphemy to inquire of baal-zebub God will consider it that way verse 3 but the angel of the Lord said to Elijah the Tishbite arise go up to meet the messengers of the king of Samaria that's a has ayah and saying to them is it not because or was it because there is not a God in Israel that you go to inquire of Bale's above the God of Ekron and it's dangerous to ignore yah-ha they the king of Israel sending to inquire of baal-zebub would be an abomination to our Heavenly Father God says in Exodus chapter 34 verse 14 you'll have no other gods before me my name is the Lord your God is a jealous God my name is jealous and that's jealous with a capital J verse 4 and by the way this angel of the Lord who directed Moses by speaking directly to him now directing Elijah by speaking directly to him as well verse 4 now therefore thus saith the Lord that's yaha vey thou shall not come down from that bed on which thou art gone up but shall surely die and Elisha departed a Hosea didn't ask for the prophecy of the Lord concerning whether he was going to recover from his illness or not but he's about to receive it verse 5 and when the messengers turned back unto him a his eye in other words he said unto them why are you now turned back you haven't been gone long enough to go to ekron and inquire of Beelzebub and return whatwhat are you doing back here in Samaria so quickly verse 6 and they said unto Him there came a man up to meet us and said unto us go turn again unto the king that sent you and saying to him thus saith the Lord is it not because there is not a God in Israel that thou send us to inquire of Bale's above the god of Ekron question therefore thou shalt not come down from that bed on which thou art gone up but shall surely die see if bales above can save you hey 'has aya and you know this kind of struck me funny that here we have messengers that the king I'm talking the king of Israel you don't get any higher on the the food chain than the king and he instructed these to go to ekron and inquire of Bale's above but we're gonna see that they didn't even know who this stranger was Elijah referring to and for them to take the word of a stranger disregard the word of the king which could cost him their head seems a bit odd to me I think they must have sensed something godly about Elijah verse 7 and he this is a has ayah said unto them what manner of man was he which came up to meet you and told you these words as I probably could have described Elijah himself I think he suspicions that it was Elijah in the first place you see like God sent Elijah to a his ayahs father a hab on many different occasions trying to talk some sense into the people of Israel I'm sure a his eyen knew who was sending this message from the Lord verse 8 and they answered him this is the messengers he was an hairy man this means that he was covered in a garment that was of animals hair you see the prophets dressed in camel's hair or goats hair as it's written of John the Baptist in matthew chapter 3 verse 4 John the Baptist's also Girt himself with a leather belt and Girt with a girdle of leather about his loins and he said it is Elijah the Tishbite he knew exactly who it was that was sending the word of god and now i'm going to send a has speaking to get a has elijah and talk him into changing the Lord's prophecy verse nine then the king sent unto him a captain of fifty with his fifty and he went up to him and behold he this being elijah sat on the top of the hill I'm sure these fifty and their captain were thinking you know here we're being sent out to get this one little old man sitting on a hill wearing funny clothes this is easy duty we should be back in time for supper no problem and he this being the captain of the fifty spake unto Him thou man of God the King hath said come down do you think he lies really cared what the king commanded verse 10 and he liza answered and said to the captain of fifty if i be a man of god then let fire come down from heaven and consumed the and thy fifty and there came down fire from heaven and consumed him and his fifty so much for easy duty hebrews chapter 12 verse 29 we learned that God is a consuming fire Revelation chapter 11 verse 5 we learn of the two witnesses that if anyone shall hurt them they'll have the power to have fire come out of there proceed out of their mouth and devour their enemies that's one of the reasons I think Elijah and Moses will be the two witnesses verse 11 again also he this is a has ayah sent unto Him another captain of fifty with his fifty and he answered and said unto Him o man of God the captain of 50 speaking thus hath the King said come down quickly how would you like to have had that mission you know I think probably he didn't hear about what happened to the first captain and fifty I mean there were no survivors to go back and witness to a Hosea and those under him what happened to the first captain evidently they knew they weren't successful had he known what had happened to the first fifty I think he might have at least said please come down from there verse 12 and Elisha answered and said unto them if I be a man of God let fire come down from heaven and consume thee and thy fifty and the fire of God came down from heaven and consumed him and his fifty well so much for easy Duty for the second group of fifty and you know I want you to learn from this you know it doesn't matter whether it's 50 or 50000 you and our Heavenly Father are a majority and the reason I say that is for the benefit of you elect you know 7,000 which is how many elect there are units will be how many ever God says is the right number but 7,000 seems like quite a significant number of people but believe me when you're stacking them up against the inhabitants of the entire rest of the planet it's going to seem like you're all alone remember with your heavenly Father on your side you are in a majority you are on the winning side verse 13 and he this being a has ayah sent again a captain of the third fifty with his fifty looks like a has ayah would get the point and learn and the third captain of fifty went up and came and fell on his I think from this we definitely know that the third captain of fifty knew what had happened to the first two sets of 50s but he fell on his knees before Elijah and besought him and said unto Him o man of God I pray thee let my life and the life of these fifty thy servants notice he didn't say a huzzah servants be precious in thy sight and I think probably one of these fifty probably ones they were approaching Elijah kind of looked over to one of his comrades and said do you smell something burning because you know this is in the same area where Elijah is and you know this kind of proves - I think that God has a sense of humor here we see these brave soldiers becoming a little less brave at the thought that they're going to be consumed by fire the third captain of 50 continues behold there came fire down from heaven and burnt up the two captains of the former 50s with their fifties therefore let my life now be precious in thy sight and you know this is the sign of a good leader - because in verse 13 he's not only asked for his own life he asked for the life of his fifty men the ones he was leading this word precious means valuable in other words spare me and these fifty with being verse 15 and the angel of the Lord said unto Elisha go down with him be not afraid of him I think this him referring to a 'has ayah not the captain of fifty Elijah wasn't afraid of the captain of fifty and he arose and went down with him on to the God in control and reassuring Elijah then you know a his aya and those had good reason to fear Elijah and the Lord not the other way around verse 16 and he this is Elijah said unto him a his ayah thus saith the Lord for as much as thou has sent messengers to inquire of baal-zebub the God of Ekron the God of the heathen Philistines is it not because or was it because there is no God in Israel to inquire of his word question therefore thou shalt not come down off that bed on which thou art gone up but shall surely die every male of Ahab's family soon to be exterminated verse 17 so he died according to the word of the Lord which Elijah had spoken now every prophecy every word spoken by the Lord does come to pass some more speedily than others but they always come to pass and Jehoram which means yah has exalted reigned in his stead in the second year of Johor on the son of Jehoshaphat king of Judah because he this is a Hosea had no son so a has ayah had no son to assume the throne of the ten tribes to the north so another son of Ahab and Jezebel by the name of Jehovah became the king now the higher critics jump all over this you see this verse is at odds with first Kings chapter 22 verse 51 second Kings chapter 3 verse 1 and 2nd Kings chapter 8 verse 16 which be getting to the latter too we've already covered the the the former but then the higher critics will say yes the Word of God contradicts itself the Word of God never contradicts itself and you see the the misunderstanding arises from the fact of in the second year of Jahan the son of Jehoshaphat but you see ahora m-- actually took the throne two years before jehosophat's death why because Jehoshaphat joined forces with Ahab when they went up to ramoth-gilead and obviously he wouldn't leave the country without a leader so your horomia's son became king at the time so and really to come to complicate things we're gonna have a king of Israel the ten northern tribes by the name of Johor 'm and the king of judah by the name of Jehovah at the same time we'll be careful to keep them separated verse 18 now the rest of the acts of a Isaiah which he did are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel and yes they are and again you've got bale worshippers you've got the worshipers of the golden calves you've got key mosh and Molech worshipers things are not going to improve God didn't give up on the ten northern tribes he continued to send prophet after prophet but the people wouldn't listen and it looks like they would have you know some one of them would have been smart enough to go and say look when did all this trouble come upon us well you know I think it was when Jeroboam made those two golden calves and things have just steadily gone downhill from there well Elijah's mission on earth has basically been accomplished when we come back in our next lecture Alijah one of only two people let me add Moses in there I think three people but I'm one of only two recorded in the Bible that didn't die in the flesh God took Enoch in the book of Genesis he also takes Elijah in our next lesson don't miss it we've got a short message we'll ask you to

God direct touch protect heal and Jesus precious name Amen and thank you Father alright let's get to some questions and what's on the mind of folks around the country first up today we have Gloria from California and Gloria asks why was John the Baptist baptizing before Jesus came on the scene was it for forgiveness of sin I know that Jesus had to die on the cross for the forgiveness and to what is that word that the keys of death snatch I guess that is the keys of death from the evil one he destroyed he who has the power of death which is the devil hebrews chapter 2 verse 14 and what had happened yet and then well in matthew chapter 3 verse 1 we learned that john was baptizing unto repentance he was the forerunner of isaiah and that we were told of that would come and he told people repent make straight the way the lord is coming now when jesus came he baptized he baptized and john went on to say there in matthew chapter 3 i baptize you into repentance but there's one coming who will baptize you with the Holy Spirit rocky in Missouri the years before Jesus came how was time determined example what does 500bc mean okay and some people don't know that BC means before Christ so in other words in the years that we're talking about in the book of Kings the years are gradually growing smaller and smaller as we come near to the birthday of Christ because we're talking the years before Christ and then when you come down to his birth then we go into the time ad which means anno domini in the latin which means the year of our Lord Melvyn from Georgia question did Cain and his family survive the flood of Noah answer Dennis said yes talking about a previous program this means that Noah's Flood was not worldwide it was a local flood and then you want to make some other points but we know that the Kenites which are means descendants of Cain survived the flood of Noah's time because they're listed in first chronicles chapter 2 verse 55 where they had already worked their way in as the scribes to the tribe of Judah that was centuries and centuries after the flood of Noah's time but you see there's also one other alternative to explain how we had connects who survived the flood and you mentioned one and that is that perhaps the not the entire earth was flooded and that is a possibility what was God's plan for the flood he wanted to destroy the descendants of the fallen angels the Nephilim and if they weren't worldwide then he could accomplish his plan and by not flooding the whole earth the second possibility that can I survive the flood of Noah's time is Noah was instructed to take two of every flesh on the ark that would also include two of the various races of people including Kenites Taylor in Iowa my first question is it okay to pray to Jesus I know that we're supposed to pray to the Father because the Scriptures tell us so even Jesus tells us as well but is it all right to pray to Christ also any thoughts advice would be greatly appreciated well you stated you knew the scripture I'm sure you know Matthew chapter six when the disciples were asking Jesus how do we pray and he began by telling them you pray our Father who art in heaven that's how you pray according to Jesus Christ you do not pray to Jesus Christ nothing wrong though with giving yourself credentials as a Christian by praying in Jesus name and when you pray while on the subject of prayer always remember to pray God's will be done that is you mature as a Christian should be more important than your own personal agenda you're your God's will is much more important than your own will my second question is where did Christ go during the time between his death on the cross and the resurrection I have read a few different theories one being that he descended into hell and proclaimed the gospel to those say this site first Peter chapter 3 verse 19 you're right on with that scripture if you could direct me to places in the scriptures that would be very helpful and it was not to hell that he went to in first Peter chapter 3 verse 19 it was heaven but you you should also know that there are two sides to paradise one where the righteous are one where the not so righteous are such as the rich man of Luke chapter 16 but we learn in Ecclesiastes chapter 12 verses 6 and 7 the flesh returns to the earth the spirit returns to the Father and where Christ went was to those who are on the unrighteous side of the Gulf and you're right he preached the gospel to them the gospel being the good news and many did believe you see it wouldn't have been fair for God to let those who died before the crucifixion in other words they were judged under the dispensation of the law that they would be judged with those who had the opportunity to live in the dispensation of grace and that's the reason that Jesus went to even the playing field where all had the opportunity to believe on him Pamela and Alabama what is blaspheming against the Holy Spirit many different theories on what that is Luke chapter 12 verse 10 and the following verses we learned that blaspheming the Holy Spirit is for one of God's elect to refuse the Holy Spirit when they're delivered up before the Antichrist therefore it's impossible that anyone has committed the unforgivable sin at this point in time Charles in Texas thank you and your staff for teaching the Word of God chapter by chapter I've been going to this church that doesn't teach the end times the three earth ages what really happened in the garden or anything on the deceit of the rapture I quit going there to study only with shepherd's chapel and I did pray on it for a while but the pastor of that church has come to my home twice first time I was ill the second time I just put him off question did I do wrong or was this a test to defend God's Word and I failed should I have tried to go toe to toe with this pastor I'm afraid I might have stumbled or should I have believed the Holy Spirit would speak through me I pray for wisdom knowledge and discernment god bless you and god bless you as well and nothing wrong with praying for wisdom knowledge and discernment excuse me what is it James chapter 1 verse 5 states that if any of you lack wisdom everything excuse me ask God now you're a little confused should I have believed that the Holy Spirit would speak through me you see it's not time for the Holy Spirit to speak through any of God's children or his election that time comes when they are delivered up to the synagogue of Satan as it's written in Revelation chapter 2 9 and 3 9 and you know you don't owe it to any pastor it doesn't hurt to plant a seed I have found that pastors are usually pretty firm in their beliefs which is a good thing but when they're teaching their people falsely and you have an opportunity to plant a seed to correct them you certainly want to do that but as far as an obligation to entertain them in your home that's entirely up to you your home is your castle Louise from Alabama and thank you for your kind words when we are in our spirit bodies will we all be of one gender since we all will be the Bride of Christ and spiritually speaking yes and I know that goes all over some of you hairy-legged boys out there that you're gonna be considered of the the female gender in heaven but actually there is no gender in heaven as far as we have here on earth today but Louise in Alabama you're right we will all be the Bride of Christ Pat and spiritually speaking Pat in Georgia is Bathsheba the same as the Queen of Sheba and no they're two different people entirely Bathsheba has an adulterous affair with David as it's written in first Kings chapter excuse me second Samuel chapter 10 and 11 the Queen of Sheba on the other hand we are learning about her in first Kings chapter 10 and that's well during the reign of Solomon and she's the one who came to visit Solomon to witness his wisdom and wealth bathsheba second samuel chapter 11 Sheba the Queen of Sheba first Kings chapter 10 Frank and Pennsylvania we're in the Word of God is the second influx of the Giants well actually it's the second influx of the Nephilim the fallen angels which resulted in more Giants the flood of Noah again was God's plan to destroy the descendants of the Nephilim there was a second influx of the Fallen Angels in Genesis chapter 12 where they're called Canaanites that's Canaanites with a see if you have a companion Bible you have a very valuable appendix number 25 which tells us about the first influx of the fallen angels the second influx which was began as early as Genesis chapter 12 and then more importantly when you really want to know about is the third influx of the Fallen Angels they come at the same time that Satan is booted out of heaven as is recorded in Revelation chapter 12 verse 6 in the following verses Jackie from Utah and thank you for your kind comments my question is this jesus said he is coming back in a cloud of glory does this mean an actual rain cloud or something different please explain well he descends from heaven as we learn in Matthew chapter 20 verse 30 and also Luke chapter 21 verse 27 in Acts chapter 1 verses 11 and 12 tells us exactly where Jesus will return it's the same point that he ascended that is courses from the Mount of Olives and you know cloud can be a term that means a multitude such as a cloud of locust and I don't know if that's where you were coming from but yeah he's coming from heaven when those two witnesses are slain in the wide area the PATA as it's in the Greek language of Revelation chapter 11 as they ascend he descends I say come Lord Jesus come he's the only one that can straighten this mess out bill in Indiana my question is twofold concerning the rapture first from your reading and understanding of God's Word concerning this would you say that yes the rapture of Christ's Church is a distinct and separate event that will take place at some point prior to Christ's physical return to set up his kingdom and reign here on earth now wait a minute why would the church be flying away into heaven if Christ is setting up his kingdom to reign here on earth that makes no sense or no it's not that the rapture but rather an event that takes place lastly as it were and then secondly if the rapture is to be its own separate and distinct event would you say it will happen before the tribulation during the tribulation or afterwards so you're asking if the rapture is pre-tribulation or post tribulation I tell you that there is no rapper the rapture is false teachings you know we learned that Satan will use the pulpits of the United States to spread and disseminate false doctrine and rapture theory is setting people up to be deceived by the Antichrist there is no rapture Ephesians chapter 6 were instructed to put on the gospel armor and why do we put on the gospel armor to stand against the fiery darts of Satan nobody's flying anywhere and in fact is when you have the armor on it's pretty heavy it makes it a little more difficult to fly William in Kentucky I try my best to follow though the rulebook our Holy Bible then join the club we all try our best we all fall short but we all try however I am a real country boy you know that I was raised out of the smokehouse country ham is my prime rib I'm really having a hard time not eating pork Wow being as most pigs today are raised on grain diet can they be edible now please pray for me to overcome this health scent and I'm glad William that you recognize that it is a sin against the flesh and a sin only and I can understand and empathize you know I was raised not eating pork at all ever and if I pork now it makes me sick I mean two or three hours after I've consumed even if I don't recognize it as something pork something that's fried in pork grease or has pork anything in it two or three hours later I know and I order pizzas with hamburger on them sometimes when they're short on hamburger they put sausage on those Rascals and I'll tell you I pay for it but and I started to say I can empathize with you because the way you feel about him prime rib kind of the way I feel about shrimp when I go down to the Gulf Coast to get a little R&R there's gonna be some fried shrimp on Dennis Murray's plate and am i proud of that no I'm not but I'm letting you know that even I fall short in regards to following the health laws and what's going to happen to you if you don't follow the health laws you're going to be sick the flesh Lonnie in California you Dennis you were talking about Adam and Eve you said Eve came from Adam's rib Arnold has said a hex curve that's a big difference for a young listener please don't say I'm dumb because I'm trying real hard but it's bothering me big time Thank You Dennis please forgive me if I sound didn't mean well I didn't think you sounded mean but what I said and what pastor Arlen Murray said is the same thing you're just misunderstanding it for some reason I said that Eve came from one of Adam's ribs and the rib if you take that word back in your Strong's Concordance you'll find that the word means a curve and I believe that that rib was the helix curve of Adam's DNA which is the same thing that you heard pastor Arnold say you see DNA has as far as man is concerned hasn't been around for very long our understanding of DNA but God has understood it for centuries and centuries and I'm out of time I do want you all to know that I love you a great deal why because you enjoy studying God's Word in depth and you know what when God looks down and he sees you with that letter that he wrote to you the Bible open and you're seeking knowledge from him and of him by studying his word it makes his day and make a little time each day for him
