00:00:24.35\00:00:25.22
so I'm sitting here today with a
couple wonderful people one like
00:00:46.37\00:00:49.58
my co-host and the
other is Bodie Hodge
00:00:49.58\00:00:52.71
from the Creation Museum, buddy.
Thank you for coming today.
00:00:52.71\00:00:55.92
Hey, it's great to be on
the show. Now. I've got to admit
00:00:55.92\00:00:58.22
this topic kind of
well, it made me a little
00:00:58.22\00:01:00.72
bit nervous. It's
00:01:00.72\00:01:01.56
in his book
gender and marriage War
00:01:03.29\00:01:05.39
it's got a lot of
interesting parts to
00:01:07.50\00:01:10.50
it biblical understanding
sexual revolution revolution
00:01:10.50\00:01:14.24
can't even say it
today homosexual Revolution
00:01:14.24\00:01:16.60
gender revolution.
00:01:16.60\00:01:17.71
And it goes on
here hang tight little
00:01:20.18\00:01:23.41
down topic. You cannot
listen to the news where
00:01:23.41\00:01:26.61
you're not getting some
aspect of this. So Bodie.
00:01:26.61\00:01:28.45
You your name is
first in this book? Tell us
00:01:30.85\00:01:33.46
a little bit about it
because I look at this as it is
00:01:33.46\00:01:36.46
tearing the world
apart today. Well, it was
00:01:36.46\00:01:39.53
right when he says it's a gender
and marriage War. So where the
00:01:39.53\00:01:42.70
war start it is, you
know, and you know, we chose the
00:01:42.70\00:01:45.27
war Word War on
purpose because it
00:01:45.27\00:01:48.97
is it's a battle going
on out there and I you know,
00:01:48.97\00:01:51.41
you can pull up a
new station whether
00:01:51.41\00:01:54.78
it's a newspaper whether it's
an internet news where you're
00:01:54.78\00:01:57.81
watching it. I mean it's all
over the place. I mean you see
00:01:57.81\00:02:00.78
stuff about restrooms you see
stuff about what's going on in
00:02:00.78\00:02:03.82
classrooms. You see all these
Court battles. It is all over
00:02:03.82\00:02:06.52
the place and I want people
to understand that this war is
00:02:06.52\00:02:09.72
a smaller part of a
larger War. The larger
00:02:09.72\00:02:12.83
part of the war is
the battle over God and
00:02:12.83\00:02:15.33
His word versus
man and man's word
00:02:15.33\00:02:18.67
because when you reject God
in his word by default you're
00:02:18.67\00:02:21.87
doing it because you're
elevating man to supersed God
00:02:21.87\00:02:24.61
and his work. That's the battle
that's been going down ever
00:02:24.61\00:02:27.31
since sin came into the world
in Genesis chapter 3, so this
00:02:27.31\00:02:30.78
Is one of the modern
aspects and elements of
00:02:30.78\00:02:33.42
that war and we're seeing
that played out right around us.
00:02:33.42\00:02:34.55
So unpack it for us now part by
00:02:35.95\00:02:39.39
part. I mean we've got some time
so lead people through it. It's
00:02:39.39\00:02:42.32
so important and
bottom line folks. We're not
00:02:42.32\00:02:45.59
doing this because we
hate anybody we want to point a
00:02:45.59\00:02:48.53
finger at anybody but
we'd like to share with
00:02:48.53\00:02:51.27
you what God's word
really says and when you
00:02:51.27\00:02:54.60
follow God you follow his
word that's where happiness
00:02:54.60\00:02:57.77
and pieces. Yeah. Well, you
know, we're in a sin Kirsten
00:02:57.77\00:03:01.14
broken world and you know, you
can see examples of that. I'm
not just with this.
00:03:01.14\00:03:03.65
We see people suffering. We
see people hurting all over the
00:03:03.65\00:03:06.55
world for a lot of different
reasons, you know, the ultimate
00:03:06.55\00:03:09.42
reason for why
suffering death and all sorts of
00:03:09.42\00:03:12.95
horrible atrocities around
the world is because of sand and
00:03:12.95\00:03:16.06
that goes back to Genesis
chapter 3 God made the world
perfect before that
00:03:16.06\00:03:18.49
and it was because of
sin in the fall that now the
00:03:18.49\00:03:21.53
world is broken and this is
a taste of that. That's what
00:03:21.53\00:03:24.47
we're seeing here. So as
we've seen different things bro,
00:03:24.47\00:03:28.07
I mean there was a time before
the flood when people became
00:03:28.07\00:03:30.94
very evil, they were doing
all sorts of terrible things.
00:03:30.94\00:03:33.61
There's a lot of violence. We
probably couldn't even list all
00:03:33.61\00:03:36.98
the different. Types of things
that we're probably going on
before the flood scripture says
00:03:36.98\00:03:39.65
it was just evil
continuously every thought was
00:03:39.65\00:03:41.88
evil and of course God judges or
00:03:41.88\00:03:45.52
Sorry God judged
that sin with a mighty
00:03:45.52\00:03:48.99
flood very violent group of
people met with a very violent
00:03:48.99\00:03:51.56
flood and then we see Noah's
family come off the ark and they
00:03:51.56\00:03:54.73
start to defy God again. And we
see what happened at the Tower
00:03:54.73\00:03:57.70
of Babel. They were trying to
come together instead of being
00:03:57.70\00:04:00.44
fruitful and fill the Earth the
way they were properly told to
00:04:00.44\00:04:04.14
do and so God comes down and
confuses their language and
people are split apart
00:04:04.14\00:04:06.57
going to different parts of
the world. Let's see we still
00:04:06.57\00:04:09.58
see the heart of
sinful men happening all
00:04:09.58\00:04:12.75
over the place. I mean
we've seen horrible things
00:04:12.75\00:04:15.52
like slavery that have occurred
all throughout the past.
00:04:15.52\00:04:18.25
We've seen all
sorts of different
00:04:18.25\00:04:21.02
murders and
violence and and rapes
00:04:21.02\00:04:24.86
and all sorts of terrible things
that have happened and now
00:04:24.86\00:04:27.66
we're getting into
our modern culture and our
00:04:27.66\00:04:30.83
modern culture. We see a lot of
unique evils. It seems like but
00:04:30.83\00:04:33.84
some of these are actually
some evils that were going on at
00:04:33.84\00:04:34.97
Of the Roman Empire we've just
forgotten about it. So it didn't
00:04:36.50\00:04:39.17
start with the
swinging 60s. No, it really
00:04:39.17\00:04:42.98
didn't it goes all the way back.
If you if you go back to the New
00:04:42.98\00:04:45.98
Testament Church, you know, we
have Christ descending into
heaven and then we see the
00:04:45.98\00:04:49.02
apostles and a lot of the work,
you know as the holy spirit's
00:04:49.02\00:04:52.02
going out and converting people.
I mean, we we see all sorts of
00:04:52.02\00:04:55.36
people repent of their
previous Lifestyles. We
00:04:55.36\00:04:58.59
saw this in Greece, you know,
there are people who'd repented
00:04:58.59\00:05:01.36
of what they've been involved
in became part of the church. We
00:05:01.36\00:05:01.96
saw people in Rome do that.
We saw it all across the Roman
00:05:03.67\00:05:06.63
Empires. It was fascinating
to see how the church started to
00:05:06.63\00:05:10.34
grow even with all that but look
what was going on in the
culture. There was a lot of
00:05:10.34\00:05:12.84
sexual immorality there were,
you know, the Bible talks about
00:05:12.84\00:05:15.64
there being, you know, if I
can say this on the other there
00:05:15.64\00:05:18.41
were orgies there was all sorts
of homosexual Behavior. There
00:05:18.41\00:05:21.55
was all sorts of
things like that. That wasn't
00:05:21.55\00:05:24.75
new to Rome either. I
mean, if you go back further all
00:05:24.75\00:05:28.26
the way back in the Old
Testament, you might think of
00:05:28.26\00:05:30.36
Sodom and Gomorrah there was
sin there this is even before
00:05:30.36\00:05:33.40
Moses gave the law. I mean,
this is the time of Abraham
00:05:33.40\00:05:34.56
Not we saw that type of thing.
This stuff has been happening
00:05:36.67\00:05:39.60
since sin and Genesis chapter
3, it's not new what we're
00:05:39.60\00:05:42.54
seeing though is
a new Resurgence of
00:05:42.54\00:05:45.91
it. And that's what started
to happen. Not just in the
00:05:45.91\00:05:48.41
United States, but all across
the Western world really new
00:05:48.41\00:05:51.28
excuses for the same old sins. I
00:05:51.28\00:05:54.75
mean now they're going
back as you said, you know
00:05:54.75\00:05:57.72
Sodom Gamora now, they're
making excuses saying well
00:05:57.72\00:06:00.66
this was this and you know, this
was this way and they weren't so
00:06:00.66\00:06:03.46
bad. Right? Yeah. People are
trying to justify sodomy. That's
00:06:03.46\00:06:07.10
what we're seeing in our
culture. But here's the thing
00:06:07.10\00:06:07.96
when it comes to marriage when
it comes to sexuality God is the
absolute Authority on that
00:06:09.93\00:06:12.17
subject. If we go
back to Genesis chapter one
00:06:12.17\00:06:15.70
and Genesis chapter 2 God made a
00:06:15.70\00:06:18.57
man on a female and he defined
marriage that way Jesus actually
00:06:18.57\00:06:21.64
defended this in
Mark chapter 10 and Mark.
00:06:21.64\00:06:24.18
Sorry Matthew
chapter 19 and Mark
00:06:24.18\00:06:27.58
chapter 10, he goes
back. He quotes Genesis chapter
00:06:27.58\00:06:30.42
1 and Genesis 2 as the
basis for the doctrine of
00:06:30.42\00:06:33.39
marriage. See God is
the one who defines that and
00:06:33.39\00:06:34.62
Are Spiritual truth to that as
well, you know, you might think
00:06:36.79\00:06:39.66
of Christ and the church,
you know his bride, you know, so
00:06:39.66\00:06:42.50
there's aspects and elements to
that but what's happened is as a
00:06:42.50\00:06:45.60
result of sin and all of a
sudden marriage gets deviated we
00:06:45.60\00:06:49.10
saw this before the flood they
make actually married a couple
00:06:49.10\00:06:51.51
of different women bragged about
killing someone, you know, I
00:06:51.51\00:06:54.41
mean, so I mean we saw
this this is there's two lay mix
00:06:54.41\00:06:57.98
Before the Flood. I don't want
you to be confused as of which
00:06:57.98\00:07:00.68
was which this was the one down
Cain's line. There was also one
00:07:00.68\00:07:03.52
that was Noah's father. So
they were two different way
00:07:03.52\00:07:06.76
their grandfather. I guess
it was Methuselah is Brandon was
00:07:06.76\00:07:09.42
the grandfather right? He
lived 969 years old, you know,
00:07:09.42\00:07:12.69
which is a fascinating subject
in and of itself, but we've
00:07:12.69\00:07:15.86
seen that from
the flood since the
00:07:15.86\00:07:18.43
time of the flood at the time
around Abraham's time. We saw
00:07:18.43\00:07:21.70
it with the Roman Empire. Why
would we expect our culture to
00:07:21.70\00:07:24.24
be any more unique really?
This is the Great Rebellion
00:07:24.24\00:07:27.08
right right in heaven.
00:07:27.08\00:07:30.11
The devil started said
I will be like God I will
00:07:30.11\00:07:33.42
be like the most
time he wanted to ascend.
00:07:33.42\00:07:34.55
I wanted to understand. Yeah,
and he hates everything that
00:07:36.52\00:07:39.62
God ever did he certainly
hated the marriage what
00:07:39.62\00:07:43.12
that should have been
his place. That should
00:07:43.12\00:07:45.69
have been you know
his kingdom. Yeah, and all
00:07:45.69\00:07:48.83
of these things you continue.
Everything is the devil
00:07:48.83\00:07:51.43
fighting in behind the scenes
trying to trick us and pull us
00:07:51.43\00:07:54.17
his way to virtually spit in
00:07:54.17\00:07:57.41
God's face. That's right. And
you know what Satan Satan's not
00:07:57.41\00:08:00.48
like God Satan is not equal
and opposite to God. That's a
00:08:00.48\00:08:04.05
mistake. He's a creative being.
Yes. Absolutely. No power next
to God. Sometimes people
00:08:04.05\00:08:06.92
want to thank God and in the
devil are right up here equal
00:08:06.92\00:08:10.09
and opposite from each other,
but they're not that's actually
false religion called
00:08:10.09\00:08:11.95
dualism. Now Satan is a created
00:08:11.95\00:08:15.69
being he has virtually no power
next to God. He's powerful.
00:08:15.69\00:08:18.53
Don't get me wrong. But Satan
cannot create like God can so
00:08:18.53\00:08:21.40
what does he do? He
counterfeits he fakes things and
00:08:21.40\00:08:24.67
so here we have
proper marriage Satan's gonna
00:08:24.67\00:08:27.54
counterfeit that marriage,
you know, we see all sorts of
00:08:27.54\00:08:28.97
counterfeit counterfeit
religions, you know, he tries to
00:08:31.01\00:08:33.27
mimic or mock God's true
religion and a lot of different
00:08:33.27\00:08:34.31
ways. We see a lot of
Fingerprints of Satan in a lot
00:08:36.48\00:08:39.68
of these aspects and elements,
but it is God that defines
00:08:39.68\00:08:42.82
marriage now notice. You said
something brilliant in there.
Absolutely. Jim said
00:08:42.82\00:08:45.59
something he
really did. You know
00:08:45.59\00:08:49.79
Satan want to be like God Satan
wanted to elevate himself to
00:08:49.79\00:08:52.53
supersede God. He
wanted to be God. You know what
00:08:52.53\00:08:55.40
that is the great lie that Satan
has tried to get us as mankind
00:08:55.40\00:08:58.67
to do he wants us to
elevate our own thoughts
00:08:58.67\00:09:01.20
when he was tempting Eve. It's
00:09:01.20\00:09:02.44
Eat this God doesn't want you
to have it because he knows that
00:09:05.01\00:09:07.51
then you'll be like God elevate
your own thoughts. And that's
00:09:07.51\00:09:10.81
what he did. She actually
elevated her own thoughts to say
Okay, God, you said
00:09:10.81\00:09:13.08
not to eat but
I'm gonna say eat.
00:09:13.08\00:09:13.31
You see and we do the same thing
in our culture. We still Elevate
00:09:15.38\00:09:18.85
our own thoughts to Super
see what God's word says and
00:09:18.85\00:09:21.96
that's what we're seeing when
it comes to the gender and the
00:09:21.96\00:09:24.53
homosexual debate
and the sexual Revolution
00:09:24.53\00:09:27.60
what we've done in
this particular book.
00:09:27.60\00:09:30.43
This book is called the
gender marriage War. I'll hold
00:09:30.43\00:09:33.77
it up. So you guys can see
this just a little bit but it
00:09:33.77\00:09:36.57
really is a war but
it really does deal with
00:09:36.57\00:09:39.74
marriage. It deals with gender.
It deals with homosexuality and
00:09:39.74\00:09:42.11
and sexual immorality.
00:09:42.11\00:09:43.04
If you look at Romans
chapter 1 Romans chapter 1
00:09:44.75\00:09:47.62
is kind of a taste of what
happens when you reject God
00:09:47.62\00:09:50.69
when you deny the knowledge
of God. God gives you over to a
00:09:50.69\00:09:53.79
debased mind. Your mind
can't think properly on certain
00:09:53.79\00:09:56.69
issues particularly spiritual
issues things like that. And if
00:09:56.69\00:10:00.06
you actually follow through
that the first thing you're
00:10:00.06\00:10:02.13
giving over to is
sexual immorality the second
00:10:02.13\00:10:05.37
thing you're then given over
to is homosexuality. You see
00:10:05.37\00:10:08.70
you start to follow that
Trend all the sudden when you've
00:10:08.70\00:10:12.17
got a debased mind and you can't
even think properly because
you've rejected God
00:10:12.17\00:10:13.94
is worth anything goes
00:10:13.94\00:10:14.01
So seeing the gender revolution
we're seeing that too. It's
00:10:16.58\00:10:19.55
because people cannot think
straight on these issues. What
00:10:19.55\00:10:22.05
they need to do is get
back to God in this word and
00:10:22.05\00:10:23.15
just like Satan tried
to elevate his thoughts to
00:10:25.52\00:10:27.72
supersede God.
00:10:27.72\00:10:28.16
So are we
rejecting God trying to
00:10:29.69\00:10:32.49
elevate our own thoughts in
this particular issue? You see a
00:10:32.49\00:10:35.40
progression of things
that used to be considered.
00:10:35.40\00:10:36.43
Horrible, I mean pretty
much all of society agreed. This
00:10:38.93\00:10:41.70
is bad and one by
one including even
00:10:41.70\00:10:43.61
a little
00:10:45.94\00:10:46.31
I think pedophilia is
becoming more acceptable too.
00:10:48.64\00:10:51.71
Yeah, that's that's probably
one of the next phases here, you
00:10:51.71\00:10:54.48
know, people are using the same
model that the homosexual model
00:10:54.48\00:10:57.55
to do the gender
model. Now, they're starting
00:10:57.55\00:11:00.46
to do that for pedophilia
as well as polygamy. Those are
00:11:00.46\00:11:03.73
both starting to pop up,
you know, so we're we're seeing
00:11:03.73\00:11:07.03
more and more of that in our
culture. We're seeing, you know,
00:11:07.03\00:11:09.40
people want to change the names,
you know, for example, you know
00:11:09.40\00:11:12.77
homosexuality a man and a man
a woman and a woman, you know,
00:11:12.77\00:11:15.54
they used the word gay.
Okay case means happy and
00:11:15.54\00:11:18.87
so people use that word and
they want to say, oh, we'll see
00:11:18.87\00:11:21.94
you're using a different word of
happy. You see how they change
00:11:21.94\00:11:25.41
the word to try to make things
sound a little better. We're
00:11:25.41\00:11:27.95
seeing the same sort of thing
with pedophilia headphilia. He's
00:11:27.95\00:11:30.89
got a pretty bad connotation
behind it. So what are they do
00:11:30.89\00:11:33.49
they call it things like
cross-generational sex? Thank
00:11:33.49\00:11:37.36
you and people don't
know it and so they think
00:11:37.36\00:11:39.76
oh, okay. Well,
that's nice. Well, what is it
00:11:39.76\00:11:40.96
really mean? What's it's just
child abuse to children. It's
00:11:42.93\00:11:45.43
really what it is and it breaks
my heart to see that sort of
00:11:45.43\00:11:46.53
thing. I'd like you to have
this pamphlet. It's completely
00:11:48.80\00:11:51.14
free. It's called war in
00:11:51.14\00:11:54.38
That's an interesting place
for a war don't you think but
00:11:56.68\00:11:59.68
the war is the
reason we are in the
00:11:59.68\00:12:02.22
situation we are in
today. This pamphlet will
00:12:02.22\00:12:05.79
provide you with an
inside view the spiritual
00:12:05.79\00:12:08.72

00:13:29.67\00:13:31.14
It's interesting, too to
00:13:34.81\00:13:35.71
Everything the devil has
stolen and tried to steal even
00:13:38.45\00:13:41.78
the rainbow in God's promise
00:13:41.78\00:13:44.82
to us, right, you
know, here we are today and
00:13:44.82\00:13:47.76
we look at the rainbow and
totally different light. Oh,
00:13:47.76\00:13:50.76
yeah. Exactly. Yeah, you
guys were just down at the ark
00:13:50.76\00:13:53.66
encounter and I know you
guys got to got a chance to film
00:13:53.66\00:13:56.93
there. There's a rainbow artist
that you walk through this
beautiful. We've got
00:13:56.93\00:13:59.73
all sorts of pictures over
the years of the art with the
00:13:59.73\00:14:02.60
rainbow in the background after
it rain. It's just it's
beautiful, you know
00:14:02.60\00:14:05.94
in a rainbow. It's a promise
from God that he'll never again
flood the entire Earth as
00:14:05.94\00:14:08.68
he didn't know his day and and
that's a beautiful promise. But
00:14:08.68\00:14:11.71
once again, they encounter
fish so all the sudden now
00:14:11.71\00:14:14.32
you get the homosexual
flag, you know, and the
00:14:14.32\00:14:17.49
cultures are different
and you know, it's it's
00:14:17.49\00:14:20.89
flipped around a little
bit. You know, it's hot. It's a
00:14:20.89\00:14:23.36
counterfeit of the proper
rainbow. And so yes, we do see
00:14:23.36\00:14:26.80
that and that represents certain
things and you know, there is a
00:14:26.80\00:14:30.73
news item that that we looked
at. We actually dealt with this
00:14:30.73\00:14:33.54
on the news, you know, I work
on answers news program and when
00:14:33.54\00:14:36.07
we were we were
00:14:36.07\00:14:37.31
There there was one where?
00:14:37.31\00:14:38.21
A teacher made the
students in her classroom do
00:14:41.64\00:14:44.55
a pledge of allegiance
to the homosexual flag.
00:14:44.55\00:14:47.38
It's shocking that
that kind of stuff makes
00:14:47.38\00:14:50.55
news items, but that's what's
happening and our children
00:14:50.55\00:14:53.39
which understand who the
target is the targets the
00:14:53.39\00:14:55.79
children. I want you.
00:14:55.79\00:14:56.39
And you know, we've seen this
all throughout history Hitler
00:15:03.60\00:15:07.14
made a statement one time, you
know back when he was running
00:15:07.14\00:15:09.57
Nazi Germany, you know,
if I can just get the youth I
00:15:09.57\00:15:13.21
can raise up a whole generation
to follow and that's what he's
00:15:13.21\00:15:15.64
done. And right now we've got
whole generations of Youth being
00:15:15.64\00:15:18.11
taught things like
homosexuality is good.
00:15:18.11\00:15:21.65
They're taught that you
know, being gender fluid is
00:15:21.65\00:15:24.79
a good thing. They're taught.
Well, you don't go to the Bible.
00:15:24.79\00:15:27.32
You can't trust the
Bible. What's scary to me?
00:15:27.32\00:15:29.16
this too is
00:15:30.69\00:15:30.99
I don't know how many but a
large percentage of Christians
00:15:33.73\00:15:36.63
now are just fine with it.
And the attitude is well, we
00:15:36.63\00:15:39.37
need to be kind to
them. Yes, we do. But you
00:15:39.37\00:15:42.47
know God is kind
of Truth. Yeah guys
00:15:42.47\00:15:45.97
kind to us, but he hates the sin
that we're doing because the sin
00:15:45.97\00:15:48.51
destroys us he wants us
to live for Eternal. It's the
00:15:48.51\00:15:51.75
same thing with this that's
destroying everybody. I think
00:15:51.75\00:15:54.42
it changed that you
see from maybe, you know,
00:15:54.42\00:15:56.89
the wild orgies in ancient Rome.
00:15:56.89\00:15:59.39
Is that nowadays?
If you even object
00:16:01.16\00:16:04.43
to any of that
behavior, you're the
00:16:04.43\00:16:07.66
bad guy, you're the one
who hates right when you
00:16:07.66\00:16:11.20
know, it's like if you'd
not if you're not in there
00:16:11.20\00:16:13.13
celebrating and not in
there on the cheer team
00:16:13.13\00:16:15.84
for it. Then you are a bad
00:16:15.84\00:16:17.97
person. You're the bad guy. I
don't you think about that
particular argument
00:16:19.94\00:16:22.78
from a big big trial. I love
logic. I love thinking about
00:16:22.78\00:16:25.45
logic and I'm oftentimes
spotting logical fallacies when
00:16:25.45\00:16:28.88
someone says, oh well, if you
don't agree you hate me or you
00:16:28.88\00:16:31.09
hate that that's actually
fallacy that's in it's a
00:16:31.09\00:16:34.79
type of epithet fallacy. It
basically means that they don't
00:16:34.79\00:16:37.69
really have a logical case that
their position. So they're it's
00:16:37.69\00:16:40.96
kind of like calling names.
They're saying you're a hater.
00:16:40.96\00:16:41.96
They're just calling you out on
something like that where that's
not really the case. And
00:16:44.30\00:16:46.77
here's the thing when it
comes to any sin whether it's
00:16:46.77\00:16:49.64
homosexuality, whether
it's sexual immorality or
00:16:49.64\00:16:52.84
whether it's going and hitting
somebody for no parent reason,
00:16:52.84\00:16:55.61
you know, there's all
sorts of things. All Sin is Sin,
00:16:55.61\00:16:58.11
but you know what God loves
00:16:58.11\00:16:59.71
Hey Christ died for the
ungover. He stepped into
00:17:01.22\00:17:04.25
history to die for us.
And so if I hated someone
00:17:04.25\00:17:07.59
because they sin I
couldn't talk to myself anymore.
00:17:07.59\00:17:11.23
We could talk to anyone,
you know girls that are great
00:17:11.23\00:17:13.70
conversations with myself. That
would have to stop. Yeah, you
00:17:13.70\00:17:16.10
see but God wants us to repent.
00:17:16.10\00:17:17.37
And he's being very
patient with us to repent and
00:17:19.43\00:17:22.97
repent means to turn
away from that sin feel. Sorry
00:17:22.97\00:17:25.51
for go. You know what I'm going
down the wrong path here Lord.
00:17:25.51\00:17:28.64
Let me grow closer to you
instead of farther away from
00:17:28.64\00:17:31.88
you. And you know, it
doesn't matter what kind of send
00:17:31.88\00:17:34.52
someone's been in they can
always repent and turn back to
00:17:34.52\00:17:37.29
God. It's interesting
you say that I oversaw a
00:17:37.29\00:17:41.36
television
network one point and we
00:17:41.36\00:17:44.76
invited a couple guys in who had
been homosexual and they said
00:17:44.76\00:17:47.83
God touched Our Lives. We
started following the Bible. We
00:17:47.83\00:17:50.53
realized it was wrong and
he gave us the power overcome.
00:17:50.53\00:17:53.57
Oh, you know the people
00:17:53.57\00:17:56.14
how what do you mean?
How could you do such a
00:17:56.14\00:17:57.97
thing? You're going to hurt all
these other people. That's the
00:17:59.57\00:18:02.68
I mean again, it's
just the devil's attitude to
00:18:02.68\00:18:05.31
to point fingers to
everything ridicule to
00:18:05.31\00:18:08.45
make you say. Okay. I'm
sorry. I'll pull that it's one
00:18:08.45\00:18:11.82
of the reasons we're told that
it, you know, you're hateful if
00:18:11.82\00:18:14.12
you're not favorite because
00:18:14.12\00:18:14.46
You're born that way. It's not a
00:18:16.19\00:18:19.73
lifestyle that chosen. They
were born. That way. We were
00:18:19.73\00:18:21.96
all born pretty twisted.
00:18:21.96\00:18:22.70
yeah, well, we're all born
Sinners, but that doesn't
necessarily mean that
00:18:26.07\00:18:29.00
people are born that way,
you know, I mean they have to be
00:18:29.00\00:18:29.97
taught this You
know, I've had people
00:18:31.14\00:18:34.54
come out and say oh but but you
Christians, how about how about
00:18:34.54\00:18:37.45
you just leave us
alone and just just let us
00:18:37.45\00:18:40.58
be you know, that was what
people used to say years ago,
00:18:40.58\00:18:43.02
but now they switched it.
00:18:43.02\00:18:43.22
They say no no now you
have to agree with that. Now,
00:18:44.92\00:18:47.86
you have to follow it. You guys
have to support it. And how dare
00:18:47.86\00:18:50.33
you if you don't you see
there's never enough when
00:18:50.33\00:18:53.96
it comes to sin. There's never
enough it always goes one more
00:18:53.96\00:18:56.97
step. So you need to do we need
to get back say no. No, we're
00:18:56.97\00:18:59.77
gonna stand on God in this word.
We've got to stand up. We've got
to tell the truth and you
00:18:59.77\00:19:01.97
know, what the truth may hurt
00:19:01.97\00:19:02.30
but guess what at least,
you know the truth and you know
00:19:04.47\00:19:07.51
how to repent, you know
who to get back to I've had
00:19:07.51\00:19:10.51
people come up and
they all say things like
00:19:10.51\00:19:11.45
but if two people love
each other just let that
00:19:13.42\00:19:16.25
it now. Hold on a
second here where to
00:19:16.25\00:19:18.92
get this idea, too.
00:19:18.92\00:19:18.99
That actually comes
from a literal Genesis. So if
00:19:20.69\00:19:23.56
you're gonna go back to a
literal Genesis, take it all.
00:19:23.56\00:19:24.06
But you know what? We're in a
culture for people now starting
00:19:27.96\00:19:28.43
to reject the two. They're
starting to redeem, you know,
maybe can be three or four.
00:19:30.97\00:19:33.54
Maybe I can marry my car my
tree or my animal, you know, and
00:19:33.54\00:19:36.67
that's what we're seeing that
that's where this is leading to
00:19:36.67\00:19:39.51
but if you reject the original
the foundation of one man one
00:19:39.51\00:19:42.74
woman, then there's
no reason not to allow
00:19:42.74\00:19:45.51
for me to marry a tree
and that's why the courts
00:19:45.51\00:19:49.15
are so messed up because they
rejected the Bible as the
absolute authority to
00:19:49.15\00:19:51.59
look at this stuff. And so
now there's anyone that's right.
00:19:51.59\00:19:55.36
And that's why we're starting
to see polygamy become more
00:19:55.36\00:19:57.33
popular in our culture,
you know children let you
00:19:57.33\00:20:01.03
know. Like I said with the
pedophilia is coming under
there. We're seeing
00:20:01.03\00:20:03.63
things over and over again,
but you know another thing,
00:20:03.63\00:20:06.67
you know, but if two people love
each other but is it really love
00:20:06.67\00:20:09.80
does the bible actually
say, it's love God is love.
00:20:09.80\00:20:10.37
Okay, so I'll love comes
from God ultimately because
00:20:12.34\00:20:15.38
God is love now.
The Bible never ever
00:20:15.38\00:20:18.35
says that a
homosexual relationship is love.
00:20:18.35\00:20:19.38
That's interesting. A lot
of people don't realize that it
00:20:21.82\00:20:23.72
consistently uses the word lust.
00:20:23.72\00:20:24.05
And what that does is that tells
me that people really haven't
00:20:25.92\00:20:28.69
had the chance to experience.
What true love is if they've
00:20:28.69\00:20:31.43
confused Lust For
Love once again, love has
00:20:31.43\00:20:34.56
been
counterfeited by Satan with lost
00:20:34.56\00:20:36.03
Really breaks my heart to
know of people out there that
00:20:38.77\00:20:41.90
are stuck in this their minds
have been given over to Satan
00:20:41.90\00:20:44.71
and they're struggling with
these sorts of things and all it
00:20:44.71\00:20:47.54
takes is repentance and getting
back to the blood of Jesus
00:20:47.54\00:20:48.54
Christ. It's sad
Isaiah speaks of you know,
00:20:50.98\00:20:54.42
what happens at the end and
there will be an end here. God
00:20:54.42\00:20:57.49
is coming. He's going to cleanse
the Earth by fire he's going to
00:20:57.49\00:21:00.46
do away with it on the last
time he gave us the rainbow and
00:21:00.46\00:21:03.69
said never again will I cleanse
the Earth with water? But the
00:21:03.69\00:21:06.36
next time by
fire it is real it is
00:21:06.36\00:21:07.96
going to happen.
The Bible is true.
00:21:09.10\00:21:09.43
But he's laid out that
there's certain people and
00:21:11.63\00:21:14.44
people groups that
won't be there and one of
00:21:14.44\00:21:18.14
the ones you've
delineated in your book
00:21:18.14\00:21:20.44
are those people? Yeah,
and it's like for Christians.
00:21:20.44\00:21:22.38
Don't we want them there?
Yes, we do. Absolutely. That's
00:21:24.71\00:21:28.05
why I mean that's why
we're doing the program tonight
00:21:28.05\00:21:30.82
because we want those people our
calling people to repent. Yeah,
00:21:30.82\00:21:32.92
and of all sin all sand.
00:21:32.92\00:21:34.46
the cool thing to
me Bodie is is God has
00:21:36.29\00:21:38.83
the power to do it and I mean
00:21:38.83\00:21:40.16
We can't just say. Oh, yeah,
I'll just suck it up and I'll
00:21:41.90\00:21:44.60
be different to me. Yeah.
No, you won't yeah. Yeah it
00:21:44.60\00:21:46.53
It's about that friendship
and relationship with God. It's
00:21:48.80\00:21:49.97
about falling and love
with him. He comes in and he
00:21:51.41\00:21:54.18
gives the power
right it in in Matthew talk
00:21:54.18\00:21:57.95
to those disciples. He said
look, I want you guys to go out
00:21:57.95\00:22:00.88
and I want you to you
know, heal the sick cleans the
00:22:00.88\00:22:03.85
left and raise the dead do all
these things preach the gospel
00:22:03.85\00:22:06.72
and he says and I'll
give you power and that power
00:22:06.72\00:22:09.39
was two different
types of power, you know,
00:22:09.39\00:22:10.99
the mighty force of
God and and the energy
00:22:12.33\00:22:15.13
of God to to do
everything God said
00:22:15.13\00:22:18.80
and they went out
and when they came back
00:22:18.80\00:22:20.54
said Lord It's
00:22:20.54\00:22:21.14
True everything you said we can.
00:22:22.44\00:22:23.20
Depower. Yeah, and that's
what God offers to us in here
00:22:26.37\00:22:29.64
for all the things.
He says we're doing badly
00:22:29.64\00:22:32.75
inappropriately in evil in
00:22:32.75\00:22:35.55
sin. He said I can
take care of that. All you
00:22:35.55\00:22:38.52
do is come to me. You
know, I like one favorite
00:22:38.52\00:22:41.12
writer said look
Lord. I I can't do
00:22:41.12\00:22:44.53
anything, but I can tell
you please take my heart or
00:22:44.53\00:22:47.30
I cannot give it.
00:22:47.30\00:22:47.36
And that's what it's all about.
Is that surrender? All right.
00:22:50.73\00:22:54.90
Yeah. Well, let's look at
something else from a big
picture perspective in our
00:22:54.90\00:22:55.60
culture. You see there's
a battle over two different
00:22:58.07\00:23:01.14
religions anytime that man's
ideas are elevated to supersede
00:23:01.14\00:23:03.71
God in his word. That's the
religion of humanism and it's
00:23:03.71\00:23:06.38
brought a sense and ours Western
culture the secular forms
00:23:06.38\00:23:09.68
of humanism are what are
dominating our culture anytime
00:23:09.68\00:23:12.95
you hear Big Bang Evolution
millions of years. Those are
00:23:12.95\00:23:15.46
subsets to the religions
of secular humanism the
00:23:15.46\00:23:18.66
variant forms of that.
Those are an opposition to God
00:23:18.66\00:23:21.63
in this word. Now a lot of
people don't realize that when
00:23:21.63\00:23:24.47
it comes to sexual immorality
and the homosexual Revolution
00:23:24.47\00:23:27.34
and the gender
debate that is all part
00:23:27.34\00:23:30.47
and parcel of a specific form of
humanism called sexual humanism
00:23:30.47\00:23:33.88
sexual humanism. Yeah. It's
00:23:33.88\00:23:36.68
a subset of
secular humanism. So that's
00:23:36.68\00:23:39.51
an entirely different religion.
And so when Christians are
00:23:39.51\00:23:42.58
like, oh, well, we can accept
some of this sort of thing. What
00:23:42.58\00:23:46.02
they're doing is they're trying
to mix two different religions
00:23:46.02\00:23:48.79
and put the two together and in
reality when they say, oh, you
00:23:48.79\00:23:51.63
know what I'm gonna give up the
Bible and come over and start
00:23:51.63\00:23:55.26
utilizing this other religion
what they're doing is they're
moving over to a different
00:23:55.26\00:23:56.30
religion. What I want to do is
encourage them to come back to
00:23:58.07\00:24:00.80
God's word. Let's see a lot
of people out in our culture
00:24:00.80\00:24:04.37
don't realize it's a religious
debate either. They're like,
well, why don't those Christians
00:24:04.37\00:24:07.04
just follow after our beliefs?
Well, it's a different religion.
00:24:07.04\00:24:09.61
That's why and sometimes they
don't realize that they've been
00:24:09.61\00:24:12.51
taught a religion how many of
these kids have been taught that
00:24:12.51\00:24:15.75
when they go to schools and
they're taught to support LGBT
00:24:15.75\00:24:19.39
there. They're taught
to support homosexuality or
00:24:19.39\00:24:22.46
for say the Pledge of
Allegiance to a homosexual flag
00:24:22.46\00:24:25.69
that that's a religion. They're
not told that see people need
00:24:25.69\00:24:28.60
to understand that
when Christianity was kicked
00:24:28.60\00:24:31.63
out of the classroom religion
was not picked out. It was
00:24:31.63\00:24:34.40
replaced with a different.
Good good welcome. I'm

00:26:09.56\00:26:11.43
What would you
say to a Christian
00:26:23.48\00:26:26.48
who is maybe accused
of being intolerant of
00:26:26.48\00:26:29.48
being hateful because
you won't accept sexual
00:26:29.48\00:26:33.82
immorality. We
00:26:33.82\00:26:35.92
just need to first off point
out. Well, you're not hating.
00:26:35.92\00:26:36.73
We love these guys. We
want to see them repent. But
00:26:38.83\00:26:41.63
at the same time if we
were to support that then
00:26:41.63\00:26:44.40
what we're doing
is we're hating God.
00:26:44.40\00:26:44.70
As soon as the Christian says
oh, you know what God. I don't
00:26:47.70\00:26:50.74
want to follow you. I want
to follow after this other. What
00:26:50.74\00:26:54.08
you doing is you're turning your
hate toward God and we don't
00:26:54.08\00:26:56.81
want that. We want to say hold
of God help us do this with a
00:26:56.81\00:26:59.68
humble heart and you know what?
I know people who are gay. I met
00:26:59.68\00:27:02.42
people who are gay. It
breaks my heart actually, but at
00:27:02.42\00:27:05.85
the same time I know that
they're struggling because they
00:27:05.85\00:27:08.86
bought into this false religion
their minds are struggling. I
want to see them repent
00:27:08.86\00:27:11.66
but I also want to do it
in the right way. I want to
00:27:11.66\00:27:14.36
I want to humbly tell
them the truth. Amen. Amen
00:27:14.36\00:27:17.50
folks.
00:27:17.50\00:27:17.97
Gender and marriage. It's a war.
00:27:20.10\00:27:21.20
It's a war against God. It's
a war against the Bible. It's
00:27:23.51\00:27:26.64
a war that's going
on right now. And we
00:27:26.64\00:27:29.48
ask you to pray pray
for your friends pray for
00:27:29.48\00:27:32.15
your family. Pray
for those that are
00:27:32.15\00:27:32.38
Part of this situation because
they really are caught in this
00:27:34.72\00:27:37.15
situation and God can totally
00:27:37.15\00:27:40.49
set them free. If
you're watching it. It's you
00:27:40.49\00:27:43.32
God can set you free get into
00:27:43.32\00:27:46.73
God's word. He will speak to you
in it. He'll give you the power
00:27:46.73\00:27:49.56
to overcome. He
will transform your heart
00:27:49.56\00:27:51.70
and your life.
00:27:51.70\00:27:52.20
