Campbell Morgan Sermon Breakdown Pt 6: Matt Hepner and TopLobsta read Morgan's chapter on Philip.

Morgan calls Philip a quiet, unimpressive man, "slow in the uptake," who would not argue but simply said "come and see." We follow every scene John gives us: Jesus finding Philip (John 1:43-46), the question about bread for the five thousand that Jesus asked "to prove him" (John 6:5-7), the Greeks who said "Sir, we would see Jesus" (John 12:20-24), and Philip's cry in the upper room, "shew us the Father" (John 14:8-9). Along the way: did you find God or did God find you, Daniel's ten-day test, the pagan general's "for how many do you count me?", and why Jesus needed more than twelve Peters.

Stacks grew up in Pittsburgh, abandoned and neglected, and turned to the streets at 14, stealing cars for a chop shop. He tells Matt he simply didn't care about life or death: 90 days in county jail for refusing a fine, selling drugs inside, then five years after beating up a deputy sheriff. Praying every night that he didn't want to live, he was told he was going home within 24 to 48 hours, and he says only God can explain it. From there: gutting houses, the electrical union, a house bought from a biker, an off-grid house built from job-site scrap, forgiving his parents, and the Bible habits he's building now.

We start with the Greek word for judge, krino, and read verse 1 alongside verses 6 and 7 (it is written, it is also written, Matthew 4). Then: with what measure ye mete (Luke 6:35-38), the woman taken in adultery (John 8:1-11), you condemn yourself (Romans 2:1-6) and vengeance is mine (Romans 12:19). Next, where Christians must judge: inside the church (1 Corinthians 5, 1 Timothy 6), ourselves before communion (1 Corinthians 11) and righteous judgment (John 7:24). We close on the mote and the beam and Isaiah's "woe is me." Next week picks up at verse 6.

What are the Beatitudes in Matthew 5:1-12 (KJV)? Jesus saw the multitudes but taught His disciples the character of a kingdom that is not of this world.
Sermon on the Mount Pt 1, hosted by Matt Hepner and TopLobsta.

The start of the Sermon on the Mount study. Jesus saw the multitudes but taught His disciples, a remnant who would carry it to everyone as salt and light (Matthew 5:13-16). The disciples still asked, "wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel?" (Acts 1:6), which Matt compares to Christian nationalism today, but Jesus told Pilate, "My kingdom is not of this world" (John 18:36).

The Beatitudes describe the character of that kingdom's citizens, not a checklist, and "blessed" at its core means happy. After reading Matthew 5:1-12 the episode covers the first three: poor in spirit, they that mourn (James 4:4-10), and the meek, who know they are part of a bigger story. The examples are Abram letting Lot choose (Genesis 13:1-9), David sparing Saul (1 Samuel 24:1-7), and Moses, "very meek" (Numbers 12:3), pleading "blot me... out of thy book" (Exodus 32:32).

Questions answered
• Why did Jesus teach the Sermon on the Mount to His disciples and not the crowd? (0:00)
• Is the kingdom of God a political kingdom? (19:30)
• What does "blessed" mean in the Beatitudes? (23:19)
• What does "poor in spirit" mean? (28:50)
• Why are they that mourn blessed? (33:54)
• What does meek mean in the Bible? (44:05)
• Why is Moses called the meekest man on earth? (59:42)

What are the Beatitudes in Matthew 5:1-12 (KJV)? Jesus saw the multitudes but taught His disciples the character of a kingdom that is not of this world.
Sermon on the Mount Pt 1, hosted by Matt Hepner and TopLobsta.

The start of the Sermon on the Mount study. Jesus saw the multitudes but taught His disciples, a remnant who would carry it to everyone as salt and light (Matthew 5:13-16). The disciples still asked, "wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel?" (Acts 1:6), which Matt compares to Christian nationalism today, but Jesus told Pilate, "My kingdom is not of this world" (John 18:36).

The Beatitudes describe the character of that kingdom's citizens, not a checklist, and "blessed" at its core means happy. After reading Matthew 5:1-12 the episode covers the first three: poor in spirit, they that mourn (James 4:4-10), and the meek, who know they are part of a bigger story. The examples are Abram letting Lot choose (Genesis 13:1-9), David sparing Saul (1 Samuel 24:1-7), and Moses, "very meek" (Numbers 12:3), pleading "blot me... out of thy book" (Exodus 32:32).

Questions answered
• Why did Jesus teach the Sermon on the Mount to His disciples and not the crowd? (0:00)
• Is the kingdom of God a political kingdom? (19:30)
• What does "blessed" mean in the Beatitudes? (23:19)
• What does "poor in spirit" mean? (28:50)
• Why are they that mourn blessed? (33:54)
• What does meek mean in the Bible? (44:05)
• Why is Moses called the meekest man on earth? (59:42)

Tozer Sermon Breakdown Pt 4: Matt Hepner and TopLobsta read Tozer's "The Promised Comforter, the Holy Spirit: Permanency of Pentecost!"

Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/nZfbeNpXM04?u...

After reading Acts 2:1-8, we get Tozer's line: no repetition of Pentecost, but a perpetuation of it. The rushing mighty wind was a sound (Acts 2:2, John 3:8), the cloven tongues of fire sat on each of them (Acts 2:3), and none of it was ever repeated. What stayed is the Comforter, who makes Jesus Christ real: Peter's sermon (Acts 2:33-36), power from on high (Luke 24:49) and why the Holy Spirit was not named after dynamite. Then Satan's dead crow in God's cornfield, the church called to live above her own ability, and Moses: if you don't go with us, I'm not going (Exodus 33:15). Pt 4 of Tozer's ten messages on the Holy Spirit.

Working from John 14:15-17 and 14:26, Tozer warns that a church can organize, hire a pastor, form a choir and keep turning the crank without the Holy Spirit, and nobody notices for years. Matt and TopLobsta talk through the modern church model of announcements, five songs and a speech, fellowship that has become a social club with a mild religious flavor, and the "religious toys and trifles" churches now depend on.

Then Tozer answers the big question: who is the Holy Spirit? He is not enthusiasm, courage or energy. He is a Person with will, intelligence and love, who can be grieved, quenched and ignored. Spirit is another mode of being that can penetrate matter and personality (1 Corinthians 2:11-12). The hosts dig into Peter's shadow, Paul's handkerchiefs, Nicodemus coming by night, speaking in tongues, and why the Holy Spirit must be Lord or He will not come at all. Tozer walks through the Nicene and Athanasian Creeds, then demands chapter and verse from Scripture: Job 26:13, Job 33:4, 2 Corinthians 3:17 and 2 Corinthians 13:14.

The episode closes on the heart of the message: the Holy Spirit is exactly like Jesus, gracious, loving, kind and gentle, and because He loves us, He can be grieved. If you've ever wondered what real Spirit-filled living looks like beyond Sunday hype, this one is for you.

Matt and the Raven pick up after Part 1 with a Blue Letter Bible look at "beseech" in 1 Corinthians 1:10, then turn to the preaching of the cross. They walk through God destroying the wisdom of the wise, Jews who require a sign and Greeks who seek after wisdom, and why not many wise, mighty, or noble are called. God chose the foolish things of the world to confound the wise, so that he that glorieth should glory in the Lord. In chapter 2, Paul determines to know nothing among them but Jesus Christ, and him crucified, so their faith would stand in the power of God, not the wisdom of men.

Primary passage: 1 Corinthians 1:18-2:8 (KJV)
Also in this episode: 1 Corinthians 1:10 · Matthew 12:39 · James 4:6 · Hebrews 11:25

Then Simeon and Anna in Luke 2, take no thought for the morrow (Matthew 6:34), "is not the life more?", life as a vapour (James 4:14), pilgrims and strangers (1 Peter 2:11, Hebrews 11:13-16) and teach us to number our days (Psalm 90:12).

Next, the series moves into Matthew 7.

Campbell Morgan Sermon Breakdown: Matt Hepner and TopLobsta read Morgan's chapter on Simon Peter.

Morgan calls Peter an "elemental man": a questioner with real intellect, deep emotion and tremendous willpower, and yet a weak man, lacking the one thing that welds those elements into strength. We follow how Jesus dealt with him: Andrew brings Simon, Jesus looks through him and renames him, then four crises (the hard sayings of John 6, Caesarea Philippi, the Transfiguration and the upper room), the look after the denial, the private appearance after the resurrection, and Pentecost, where Peter finally stands as rock. Plus Morgan's Westminster story: "I know someone who does believe in you."

How has God spoken to us by His Son? Hebrews 1:1-4: God spoke by the prophets, but in these last days by His Son, the express image of His person.
Hebrews w/ Otis Fowler Pt 1, with Otis Fowler, Matt Hepner and TopLobsta.

"God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds" (Hebrews 1:1-2). Otis explains why he reads the NASB 1995, then reads Hebrews 1:1-4.

Hebrews was written to believers under persecution, and the book sets the old covenant beside the new: grace and truth came by Jesus Christ (John 1:17), and God cut a covenant with Abram (Genesis 15). "The express image of his person" (Hebrews 1:3) is like a stamp on wax, not the moon reflecting the sun. Jesus says "Before Abraham was, I am" (John 8:58), "I and my Father are one" (John 10:30) and "he that hath seen me hath seen the Father" (John 14:9).

Also covered: the first and the last (Isaiah 44; Revelation 1), heaven meted out with the span (Isaiah 40:12), "the brightness of his glory," the only begotten Son, modalism and the Trinity, "upholding all things by the word of his power," "the image of the invisible God" (Colossians 1:15-20), one sacrifice for sins (Hebrews 10:11-12), and an outline of the whole book.

- What does "the express image of his person" mean? (19:11)

Matt and the Raven start with Paul, called to be an apostle by Jesus and not by any institution, and the saints at Corinth. They ask why grace comes before peace, why Paul thanks God for people before he corrects them, and what it means to be called unto the fellowship of God's Son. Then they reach Chloe's report of "I am of Paul... I of Apollos" and ask what Paul's warning means for a church split by denominations, and why he would not preach with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ be made of none effect.

Matt and the Raven start with Paul, called to be an apostle by Jesus and not by any institution, and the saints at Corinth. They ask why grace comes before peace, why Paul thanks God for people before he corrects them, and what it means to be called unto the fellowship of God's Son. Then they reach Chloe's report of "I am of Paul... I of Apollos" and ask what Paul's warning means for a church split by denominations, and why he would not preach with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ be made of none effect.

Matt and Raven pick up from John 9:39 and the fall in Genesis 3, where "the eyes of them both were opened" and they saw with carnal eyes. Then they read Matthew 6:19-24 and pray Paul's prayer, "The eyes of your understanding being enlightened" (Ephesians 1:18). "The commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes" (Psalm 19:8). In 1 Corinthians 1-2, "the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God" (1 Corinthians 1:18). "The natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God," but "we have the mind of Christ" (1 Corinthians 2:14, 16).

Along the way: tree-of-life vs tree-of-knowledge issues and why believers divide over end-times charts, Moses choosing "rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season" and enduring "as seeing him who is invisible" (Hebrews 11:25, 27), David's "Mine eyes are ever toward the LORD" (Psalm 25:15), and Peter walking on the water until he saw the wind (Matthew 14:30).

Questions answered
• What is the difference between carnal eyes and spiritual eyes? (7:29)
• Why is the cross foolishness to those who perish? (10:08)
• What does "the natural man receiveth not" mean? (56:51)
• What does it mean to have the mind of Christ? (1:03:16)

This is the start of a book-by-book run through the Bible with Thomas of Paranoid American Comics, working through Genesis 1 and 2 read aloud from the King James. Thomas read Genesis as if it were the only book in front of him; Matt and TopLobsta answer from the rest of Scripture and keep coming back to one point: knowing God matters more than winning a doctrine fight.

Topics include whether God is limited to three dimensions, whether it matters if Genesis is literal history, sola scriptura and the Book of Enoch, what the word "in" implies in "In the beginning," tohu va bohu and Isaiah 45:18 ("he created it not in vain"), gematria, the Bible code and the golden ratio, the Spirit moving on the waters, Adam and adamah, light before the sun, the greater and lesser lights, the pattern of sevens, the image of God, "after his kind," two creation accounts, the Sabbath ("made for man," Mark 2:27), man becoming a living soul, naming the animals, Eve from the rib, the two trees, and whether "the fall" and original sin are in Genesis. Next time: Genesis 3.

Questions answered
• Is it heresy to say God is not limited to three dimensions? (6:22)
• Does it matter if Genesis is literal history? (16:03)
• What does "In the beginning" mean in Genesis 1, Verse 1? (26:30)

Campbell Morgan Sermon Breakdown, hosted by Matt Hepner and TopLobsta.

Matt reads G. Campbell Morgan's chapter on John the Apostle and stops to talk it through. Morgan starts with John's background: son of Zebedee and Salome, partner in the fishing business with Simon and Andrew, from a family with hired servants, a cousin of Jesus after the flesh (Matthew 27:55-56), and a man with a house in Jerusalem, where he took Mary after the cross (John 19:26-27).

Then Morgan follows John through the Gospels and turns to the Lord's methods with him: "What seek ye?" (John 1:38), the invitation to "come and see" (John 1:39), which Morgan ties to Revelation 1:1-2 where John "bare record ... of all things that he saw," the call to be fishers of men (Mark 1:17), the name Boanerges, sons of thunder (Mark 3:17), the sharp corrections ("Forbid him not," and the wish to call down fire, Luke 9:49-56), the way of the cross (Mark 10:38-39), and the confidence Jesus showed in trusting John with His mother and with the Revelation. It closes on John 21:20-23: "If I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee?"

Tozer Sermon Breakdown Pt 2 (Tozer's Ten Sermons on the Holy Spirit), hosted by Matt Hepner and TopLobsta.

Matt reads and discusses Tozer's sermon "How Christ Is Revealed by the Holy Spirit, Not Through the Intellect," chapter 2 of his ten sermons on the Holy Spirit. Tozer's outline: the blunder of orthodoxy in assuming spiritual truths can be intellectually perceived; the error that Bible study of itself can remove the veil; the error that we can talk each other up and put spiritual things down on the level of man's understanding; and the result, "two Christs": the Christ of history and the creeds, and the Christ only the Spirit can reveal.

Along the way: the natural man cannot receive the things of the Spirit (1 Corinthians 2:14), God's thoughts are not our thoughts (Isaiah 55:8-9), the Spirit of truth glorifies Christ (John 16:12-14), all Scripture is given by inspiration (2 Timothy 3:16), intuition and inward illumination, why philosophy and science cannot prove divine things, "It is the Holy Spirit or darkness," the anointing that teaches you (1 John 2:27), and Tozer's promise that when the Spirit comes He does not throw out true learning; He sets it on fire.

Matthew 6:24 is the hinge of the chapter. Verses 19-24 warn against coveting abundance, and verses 25-34 warn against being anxious about necessities. Matt shows that "take no thought" means take no anxiety, the same word as "Be careful for nothing" in Philippians 4:6, and not "sit on your porch and wait for life to happen."

From there: losing your life to find it (Matthew 16:24-27), flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom (1 Corinthians 15:50-54), "If God be for us, who can be against us?" (Romans 8:31-39), render unto Caesar and unto God (Luke 20:19-26), "all souls are mine" (Ezekiel 18:4), Moses asking to be blotted out of God's book (Exodus 32:30-33), the book of life (Revelation 20:12-15), your children belong to God (Ezekiel 16:20-21), and Paul on Mars Hill (Acts 17:22-28).

Then back to the birds of the air, which never just sit around, the ant (Proverbs 6:6-11), Adam put in the garden "to dress it and to keep it" before the curse (Genesis 2:7-15), providing for your own house (1 Timothy 5:8), and "if any would not work, neither should he eat" (2 Thessalonians 3:10). The balance: work hard, plan and provide, without anxiety.

James Williams, better known as Dark Waters, sits down with Matt and TopLobsta for a raw, unscripted conversation. He tells how the Lord told him to "study my generals," starting with John Wesley, why the first money from his debate went straight to the church, and why a Christian who crushes a debate opponent has already lost sight of the point. TopLobsta shares an Orthodox "gotcha" debate story, and James makes his main case: "They have arguments, but they don't have power."

From there: preachers who won't deal with the witch on their block, a wild Pentecostal church, reframing the Heather Lynn debate back to a biblical worldview, a witchcraft book in the children's section at BJ's, Shawn Ryan's DMT trip and the "mountain of influence," the "next shooter" principle, interceding for Alex Jones in the courts of heaven, Jay Dyer and knowing doctrine vs knowing God, witches, a scratch and the "satanic trading floor," standing on God's word (Psalm 91), riding the coattails of Christian forefathers, praying for a limping woman in Nashville, and how Dark Waters started, from opposition research in New Orleans to dogman live cams.

Questions answered
• Should a Christian crush an opponent in a debate? (6:16)
• Why does the church have arguments but no power? (10:00)
• What is the "school of the Spirit"? (12:54)
• What is the "next shooter" principle? (42:07)

Tozer Sermon Breakdown Pt 1 (Tozer's Ten Messages on the Holy Spirit), hosted by Matt Hepner and TopLobsta.

Straight Bible opens its A.W. Tozer series with the first of Tozer's ten messages on the Holy Spirit, "Don't Beg for the Holy Spirit, Glorify Jesus Christ." Tozer's point from Acts 2 is that the important thing at Pentecost was not that the Spirit had come but that Jesus had been exalted (Acts 2:32-33, 36). Jesus said it on the last great day of the feast: "the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified" (John 7:37-39). Where Jesus is glorified, the Holy Spirit comes. He does not have to be begged.

From there Tozer says the church must be more than "a heavenly institution being operated in an earthly manner." A Spirit-filled congregation is joyful (the Moravians), useful to the whole community, and "ensamples to all that believe" (1 Thessalonians 1:7-8). Who will not feel at home there: people who wear religion as a Sunday garment, who will not let the cross change their plans, who expect entertainment, or who want only the church's cultural value. Who will: those who want to be rid of their sin, want to know God, and know the Shepherd's voice. Along the way: Ravenhill's "Where are the Elijahs of God?", Wesley and Whitefield preaching in the open air, and whether the podcast is today's open air.

A.W. Tozer's text is Acts 2:1-6 (KJV), and his answer is "Don't beg for the Holy Spirit, glorify Jesus Christ." A.W. Tozer Sermon Breakdown Pt 1 (Tozer's Ten Messages on the Holy Spirit), hosted by Matt Hepner and... A.W. Tozer Sermon Breakdown Pt 1 (Tozer's Ten Messages on the Holy Spirit), hosted by Matt Hepner and TopLobsta.

Straight Bible opens its A.W. Tozer series with the first of Tozer's ten messages on the Holy Spirit, "Don't Beg for the Holy Spirit, Glorify Jesus Christ." Tozer's point from Acts 2 is that the important thing at Pentecost was not that the Spirit had come but that Jesus had been exalted (Acts 2:32-33, 36). Jesus said it on the last great day of the feast: "the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified" (John 7:37-39). Where Jesus is glorified, the Holy Spirit comes. He does not have to be begged.

From there Tozer says the church must be more than "a heavenly institution being operated in an earthly manner." A Spirit-filled congregation is joyful (the Moravians), useful to the whole community, and "ensamples to all that believe" (1 Thessalonians 1:7-8). Who will not feel at home there: people who wear religion as a Sunday garment, who will not let the cross change their plans, who expect entertainment, or who want only the church's cultural value. Who will: those who want to be rid of their sin, want to know God, and know the Shepherd's voice. Along the way: Ravenhill's "Where are the Elijahs of God?", Wesley and Whitefield preaching in the open air, and whether the podcast is today's open air.

Sean Griffin of Kingdom in Context comes back for a two-hour walk through Revelation. He starts at Revelation 1:1, where the message runs from God, to Jesus Christ, to His angel, to John. Then the big question: Revelation is not one continuous sequence. Greek words like kai do not always mean "next," and Sean groups the chapters into overlapping sections that show the same events from different angles.

From there: the two witnesses, Apollyon (Revelation 9:11) and the 42 months, whether Christians are under the law, First Enoch, the Watchers and the Nephilim, the lake of fire, Michael standing up (Daniel 12:1-2), a resurrection "both of the just and unjust" (Acts 24:15), why Sean rejects the pre-trib rapture, and his timeline: seals, trumpets and bowls ending on the same day, New Jerusalem and the thousand years (Revelation 20:4-6).

Questions answered
• Who is speaking in the Book of Revelation? (1:19)
• Is Revelation written in chronological order? (12:55)
• Are Christians protected from God's judgments? (20:02)
• Who is Apollyon in Revelation 9? (41:14)
• Are demons disembodied Nephilim spirits? (59:17)
• Why does Sean reject the pre-trib rapture? (1:12:28)
• When does New Jerusalem come down? (1:53:23)

Campbell Morgan Sermon Breakdown (The Great Physician), hosted by Matt Hepner with Raven.

Matt and Raven read G. Campbell Morgan's chapter on Andrew from The Great Physician. Morgan walks through the places Andrew is named: John 1:35-42, the call from the nets (Mark 1:16-18), the loaves and fishes (John 6:8-9), the Greeks who would see Jesus (John 12:20-22), the Mount of Olives (Mark 13:3-4), the upper room (Acts 1:13), and the foundations of the holy city (Revelation 21:14).

Andrew was a disciple of John the Baptist, a friend of John the Apostle, Simon's brother, and a strong, quiet man with the courage to leave John and follow Jesus. Jesus' first words to him were "What seek ye?" (John 1:38). Morgan says He was not asking who Andrew was looking for, but why. Andrew came and saw, abode with Him that day, and then "first findeth his own brother Simon" with the words "We have found the Messias" (John 1:41). Morgan closes on this: Christ's first disciple was not Peter but Andrew, and the city of God will be built not by the notoriety of its builders but by their fidelity.

Matt and TopLobsta trace "Ye cannot serve God and mammon" through the Bible. In Genesis 14 Abram arms his 318 trained servants and brings Lot back. Two kings meet him: Melchizedek blesses him and receives a tenth, and the king of Sodom offers the goods. Abram will not take "from a thread even to a shoelatchet ... lest thou shouldest say, I have made Abram rich" (Genesis 14:23). The next chapter is God's covenant with Abram.

Elisha refuses Naaman's gifts ("I will receive none," 2 Kings 5:16) and Gehazi runs after them. Elijah asks, "How long halt ye between two opinions?" (1 Kings 18:21), and the line runs from Baal to mammon: could today's church run on God with no money? Then Simon the sorcerer ("Thy money perish with thee," Acts 8:20), Ananias and Sapphira (Acts 5:1-11), and the unjust steward and "the true riches" (Luke 16:1-14).

• How do you know if God or money is your master? (33:10)

Matthew 6:22-24 (KJV): "Ye cannot serve God and mammon." Abram would not let any man say, "I have made Abram rich." Sermon on the Mount Pt 26, hosted by Matt Hepner and TopLobsta. Matt and TopLobsta... Sermon on the Mount Pt 26, hosted by Matt Hepner and TopLobsta.

Matt and TopLobsta trace "Ye cannot serve God and mammon" through the Bible. In Genesis 14 Abram arms his 318 trained servants and brings Lot back. Two kings meet him: Melchizedek blesses him and receives a tenth, and the king of Sodom offers the goods. Abram will not take "from a thread even to a shoelatchet ... lest thou shouldest say, I have made Abram rich" (Genesis 14:23). The next chapter is God's covenant with Abram.

Elisha refuses Naaman's gifts ("I will receive none," 2 Kings 5:16) and Gehazi runs after them. Elijah asks, "How long halt ye between two opinions?" (1 Kings 18:21), and the line runs from Baal to mammon: could today's church run on God with no money? Then Simon the sorcerer ("Thy money perish with thee," Acts 8:20), Ananias and Sapphira (Acts 5:1-11), and the unjust steward and "the true riches" (Luke 16:1-14).

Matt and Raven take viewer questions, led by the seal of God and the mark of the beast. Revelation 7:1-8: four angels "holding the four winds of the earth," an angel "having the seal of the living God," and 144,000 sealed. Ezekiel 9: "a mark upon the foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry for all the abominations." Revelation 13:11-18: the mark "in their right hand, or in their foreheads." Their take: you are marked for God or against Him, God marks His people before destruction, and the Holy Spirit gives the discernment.

Also: annotating your Bible, lights "for signs, and for seasons" (Genesis 1:14), the tribulation, Pharaoh's heart, head coverings (1 Corinthians 11:5-16), praying to Mary and the wedding at Cana (John 2:1-11), the tribe of Dan (Judges 2:20-23), principalities over the nations (Deuteronomy 32:8; Ephesians 6:12), addiction, "Christian communism," David's wives, and Solomon and demons.

Questions answered
• What is the difference between the seal of God and the mark of the beast? (12:01)
• Where else does God mark people on the forehead? (18:37)
• Does the church go through the tribulation? (21:27)
• Are head coverings required for Christian women? (43:46)
• Should Christians pray to Mary and the saints? (49:00)
• Can someone be a Christian communist? (1:18:31)
• Did Solomon use demons to build the temple? (1:31:41)

Otis Fowler picks up Hebrews 2 where Pt 6 left off. Jesus was made "perfect through sufferings" (Hebrews 2:10), and "he is not ashamed to call them brethren" (Hebrews 2:11). The One who sanctifies and the ones He sanctifies are one family, and the word of God is what sanctifies us: "Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth" (John 17:17).

Then Otis goes to the psalm that Hebrews 2:12 quotes. Psalm 22 opens with "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?", describes the crucifixion centuries before it happened ("they pierced my hands and my feet," "They part my garments among them, and cast lots upon my vesture"), and turns at verse 22 to "I will declare thy name unto my brethren." Back in Hebrews 2, verses 14-18: through death Jesus destroyed "him that had the power of death, that is, the devil," took on "the seed of Abraham," and "is able to succour them that are tempted." The live chat ends with sharing the gospel, Mark 16 and whether tongues are required for salvation.

Questions answered
• What does "perfect through sufferings" mean in Hebrews 2? (27:33)
• Why is Jesus not ashamed to call us brethren? (33:29)
• How did Psalm 22 predict the crucifixion? (54:24)

A live Straight Bible Q&A with guest Mayson. The main question is how to recognize God's voice. The answer is to know His word and His character first, so that you can recognize Him when He speaks. From there: forgiveness when bitterness lingers, building spiritual discipline, the saints who "arose, And came out of the graves after his resurrection" (Matthew 27:52-53), and whether we keep our identity in heaven (Matthew 22:30; Luke 16).

Also covered: whether Paul was a Christian universalist (Colossians 1:28, "warning every man, and teaching every man"), whether Jesus came "to destroy, but to fulfil" (Matthew 5:17), generational curses ("visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children", Exodus 20:5), King Josiah and the lost book of the law (2 Kings 22-23), whether manna was a mushroom, psychedelics and spiritual experiences, and how faith changes the way we suffer.

Questions answered
• How do you know if God is speaking to you? (18:00)
• Is it a grudge if you forgive but still feel bitter? (2:43)
• Who were the saints raised in Matthew 27? (29:09)
• Do we keep our identity in heaven? (32:56)
• Was Paul a Christian universalist? (51:48)
• Are generational curses real? (1:04:02)
• Was manna a mushroom? (1:25:05)
• Can psychedelics open you to the spirit realm? (1:26:38)

Matt and TopLobsta stay in Matthew 6:19-24 and focus on verses 22-24: "The light of the body is the eye," and "No man can serve two masters... Ye cannot serve God and mammon." Israel looked at the bronze serpent; Hezekiah later broke it when it became an idol (2 Kings 18:4). "Unto thee lift I up mine eyes" (Psalm 123:1). "Call unto me, and I will answer thee" (Jeremiah 33:3). Elisha had to see Elijah taken up to receive the double portion (2 Kings 2:10). Job "made a covenant with mine eyes" (Job 31:1). After Peter's denial "the Lord turned, and looked upon Peter" (Luke 22:61).

Then the other master. Laodicea said, "I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing," not knowing it was "poor, and blind, and naked" (Revelation 3:17). Paul: "I will not be brought under the power of any" (1 Corinthians 6:12). "Godliness with contentment is great gain," and "the love of money is the root of all evil" (1 Timothy 6:6, 10). The sower: "cares and riches and pleasures of this life" choke the word (Luke 8:14), and "the deceitfulness of riches" (Matthew 13:22). Next week: Abraham and the king of Sodom in Genesis 14.

Campbell Morgan Sermon Breakdown (The Great Physician), hosted by Matt Hepner and TopLobsta.

The second G. Campbell Morgan sermon session walks through Morgan's chapter on John the Baptist from The Great Physician. First the man: Jesus said, "Among them that are born of women there hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist" (Matthew 11:11). Morgan traces John's birth, his prophetic office, and his discontent with sin: the axe at the root, the fan, the fire (Matthew 3:10-12). He looks at John's plain answers to the publicans and soldiers, "Exact no more than that which is appointed you" (Luke 3:13), and at "I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness" (John 1:23).

Then Morgan shows how Jesus dealt with John. Their only recorded conversation is at the baptism: "Suffer it to be so now: for thus it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness" (Matthew 3:15). John sees what no one else saw, "Behold the Lamb of God," and answers Isaac's question, "where is the lamb?" (Genesis 22:7). He bears record that "this is the Son of God" (John 1:34) and says, "He must increase, but I must decrease" (John 3:30). Last is John's question from prison (Matthew 11:2-6) and Morgan's answer: if he could not understand, he was called upon to trust.

He bears record that "this is the Son of God" (John 1:34) and says, "He must increase, but I must decrease" (John 3:30). Last is John's question from prison (Matthew 11:2-6) and Morgan's answer: if he could not understand, he was called upon to trust.

Matt picks up from King Josiah finding the lost book of the law, and why the kings of Israel were told to read Scripture "all the days of his life" (Deuteronomy 17:19). Josiah tore down the idols Solomon had allowed (2 Kings 23). That is a picture of rejecting "God plus" religion and keeping the eye single on God alone.

Then come spiritual warfare and "casting down imaginations" (2 Corinthians 10:3-5; Ephesians 6:10-20), the eye gate, laying aside "every weight" while "looking unto Jesus" (Hebrews 12:1-2), and "all things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient" (1 Corinthians 6:12). Israel looked at the brazen serpent and lived (Numbers 21), and Jesus told Nicodemus the Son of Man must be lifted up (John 3:14). The study closes with the man born blind (John 9) and the eyes opened in the fall (Genesis 3:7).

Questions answered
• Why did the kings of Israel have to read Scripture every day? (9:27)
• What does it mean to have a single eye? (30:54)
• What are you feeding your spirit through your eyes? (40:19)
• What weight should Christians lay aside? (42:02)
• Why did Israel look at the brazen serpent? (49:24)
• Who was really blind in John 9? (1:09:58)

Spotify: 323fullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/why-jesus-never-saw-a-hopeless-case--74657286G. Campbell Morgan Sermon Breakdown (The Great Physician), hosted by Matt Hepner and TopLobsta.

Matt and TopLobsta start G. Campbell Morgan's book The Great Physician and talk about why the classic preachers still matter. Jesus said "They that be whole need not a physician, but they that are sick" (Matthew 9:12). So why did He sit with the people the religious leaders rejected?

In John 2:24-25 Jesus "knew all men" and "knew what was in man," so He never dealt with two people the same way. Morgan calls man "spiritual in essence, sinning in experience, salvable by grace." Along the way: the Word made flesh (John 1), spirit, soul and body, music and frequency as a picture of missing the mark, seeking first the kingdom, and how Jesus met Andrew, Peter, Philip, Nathanael and Nicodemus differently.

Questions answered
• Why did Jesus call Himself a physician? (13:48)
• What does "he knew what was in man" mean? (26:09)
• What does "salvable by grace" mean? (51:01)

Spurgeon Sermon Breakdown Pt 2, hosted by Matt Hepner and TopLobsta.

Matt and TopLobsta finish the second half of Charles Spurgeon's sermon on Isaiah 2:5. Spurgeon calls believers back to zeal and to "mutual exhortation," and asks for faith worn like a garment every day instead of a Sunday-only religion. Like the wise man who built on the rock (Matthew 7:24-27), we should walk in it in real life.

Spurgeon contrasts "an infallible pope" and an "infallible self" with "this infallible book and the infallible God." That leads into Orthodox and Catholic tradition, Calvinism, division in the body of Christ, and "Quench not the Spirit... Prove all things; hold fast that which is good" (1 Thessalonians 5:19-21). It closes with meditating day and night (Psalm 1), the first-class cabin analogy, "O wretched man that I am" (Romans 7:24), the communion table, the Freemason question about Spurgeon, and cultural Christianity in the South.

Questions answered
• Why do Christians lose their first zeal? (4:02)
• Is the Bible infallible? (45:06)
• Does division in the church destroy its witness? (57:44)
• What does "quench not the Spirit" mean? (1:05:23)
• Was Spurgeon a Freemason? (1:41:43)
• Can you be saved and still walk in darkness? (1:44:42)

Otis opens with Eastern Orthodoxy, praying to saints and religious tradition vs the Word, then asks whether the devil can "bless" people and whether fallen angels can repent. After prayer: Jesus tasting death for every man (Hebrews 2:9), what sanctification really means, the high priestly prayer of John 17, and why Jesus is the only way to the Father.

From "Delight thyself also in the LORD" (Psalm 37:4) and the fellowship of His sufferings, Hebrews 2 leads into Psalm 22: mockery at the cross fulfilled in Mark 15:29-32, the predestined crucifixion in Acts 4, rulers and authorities disarmed (Colossians 2:15), and Satan as an angel of light.

Questions answered
• Can fallen angels repent? (23:53)
• What does sanctification really mean? (40:18)
• Is Jesus the only way to the Father? (54:16)
• How does Psalm 22 predict the crucifixion? (1:27:14)

Zack shares growing up in church, life on the road with music, and the dream about "Tiamat" that turned him back to God and into telling people about Jesus. He became a pastor without seminary. From there: the church growth model, youth ministry, house churches and mega churches, whether pastors should be paid, the 501(c)(3) system, the worship music formula vs hymns, church hurt, and why pastors' kids go off the rails.

Later: the Great Commission, religious spirits, preaching with fire and tears, a story of praying for a friend in the hospital, horror movies and spiritual influence, masks and altered identity, and what it means that every Christian has a ministry.

Matt recaps the rich young ruler (Matthew 19:16-22), then shows how Jesus says to "Labour not for the meat which perisheth" (John 6:27). The treasure hid in a field and the scribe who "bringeth forth out of his treasure things new and old" (Matthew 13:44-52) lead into the faithful and wise steward of Luke 12:32-48 and "stewards of the mysteries of God" (1 Corinthians 4:1-2).

Then come the elders who "labour in the word and doctrine" (1 Timothy 5:17-18), what a true preacher looks like, the parable of the talents (Matthew 25:14-30), and why shallow preaching is a problem. The study closes with Manasseh's idolatry (2 Kings 21), Jeremiah 7, Deuteronomy 12:29-32, and King Josiah finding the lost book of the law (2 Kings 22).

Questions answered
• What treasure is hidden in a field? (6:30)
• Who is the faithful and wise steward? (20:24)
• What does it mean to labor in the word like an ox? (34:31)
• What should a true preacher look like? (44:45)
• Is the Word of God our heavenly treasure? (1:21:03)

Owen Benjamin talks about his book How to Slay a Wizard: how slogans work like spells, polarity seeding and false binaries, C.S. Lewis on temptation, and why comedy cuts against control. Along the way: predestination and free will, rehab and getting off meth, student debt, family roles and homeschooling, sound money, and church money games.

Later they get into Lot's wife, conscience and creation, the Lincoln and Kennedy synchronicities, King David and Goliath, and practical next steps if the economy crashes.

Questions answered
• What does "How to Slay a Wizard" mean? (24:43)
• Are slogans a kind of spell? (27:38)
• What is polarity seeding? (32:07)
• Did God write our script, or do we have free will? (10:53)

Matt and TopLobsta start Charles Spurgeon's sermon "Walking in the Light of the Lord" and put a much-shared Spurgeon quote about the Jews back into its context. Along the way: dispensationalism and Zionism, what it actually means to bless Israel, Isaiah 2:1-5, natural Israel and the spiritual people of God, praying for Israel and the grafted olive tree, and Jacob, Esau and the birthright.

They also cover Balaam and Numbers 24:9, politics, propaganda and current events, the joy of bringing someone to Christ, and new wine in new bottles (Luke 5:38). It ends with Spurgeon on spiritual sluggishness and recovering zeal.

Questions answered
• What did Spurgeon actually say about the Jews? (2:04)
• What does it mean to bless Israel? (15:14)
• Is political support the same as blessing Israel? (38:59)
• Can new converts wake up a lukewarm church? (1:21:22)

Part 1 of the review of Dave Hunt's A Woman Rides the Beast. Thomas and Matt ask whether the Bible has been used for control, then cover the King James Bible and translation, organized religion and money, how to interpret Scripture, faith, grace and works, Chick tracts, speaking in tongues, and the one-world religion.

Part 2 of the review of Dave Hunt's A Woman Rides the Beast. Thomas and Matt cover the Vatican and the Nazis, pentagrams and occult symbols, the pope as a "Supreme Court," how saints are made, mixed worship like in Elijah's day, faith healers and tithing, who put the Bible together, and why priests are forbidden to marry ("forbidding to marry," 1 Timothy 4:3).
They also get into corrupt popes and the Sistine Chapel, transubstantiation, the 1933 concordat with Hitler, the Nazi ratlines and Opus Dei, perennialism and universalism, confession, the rosary and praying to Mary, purgatory and indulgences, Galileo, and why Jesus went up to the feast "not openly, but as it were in secret" (John 7:10).

Ed Mabrie talks about what you listen to before you fall asleep, the unconscious mind, and how to stay receptive to God. Then: flow states, whether 3 A.M. is inherently evil, how to recognize a spiritual attack, and praying authority over your life first thing in the morning.

Also: why faith is about Jesus and not the rituals of the church fathers, praying out loud, trembling and emotional displays, sermons that hit exactly what you are going through, "lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth" (Matthew 6:19), passing faith to the next generation, asking God on the basis of justice, poverty and struggle as a blessing, the unpopular scriptures, and forgiveness.

Questions answered
• Can the enemy program you while you sleep? (9:03)
• Is 3 A.M. a spiritually evil hour? (17:26)
• How do you know it is a spiritual attack? (22:04)
• How do you pass faith on to your kids? (55:48)

Matt reads Matthew 6:19-21 and asks what it means to redirect the same drive once spent on earthly gain toward the kingdom. He shares losing everything twice. Then: "Set your affection on things above" (Colossians 3:1-2), the day of the Lord in 2 Peter 3, the institutional church vs the biblical church and the mustard seed, and the word that "endureth for ever" (1 Peter 1:22-25).

Also covered: the new heaven and new earth (Revelation 21:1-7), the rich fool and covetousness (Luke 12:15-21), faithful stewards, God's "peculiar treasure" (Exodus 19:3-6), a royal priesthood (1 Peter 2:9-11), the faith of Abraham, Noah and Moses (Hebrews 11), "Christ in you" (Colossians 1:25-27), "this treasure in earthen vessels" (2 Corinthians 4:1-7), and the rich young ruler (Matthew 19).

Questions answered
• How do we store up treasure in heaven? (28:21)
• What did losing everything teach about eternal value? (6:35)
• Who was the rich fool in Luke 12? (36:17)
• Why did Moses reject the treasures of Egypt? (1:07:39)
• What is the treasure in earthen vessels? (1:15:37)

Matt reads Matthew 6:19-21 and asks what it means...Sermon on the Mount Pt 21, hosted by Matt Hepner.

Matt reads Matthew 6:19-21 and asks what it means to redirect the same drive once spent on earthly gain toward the kingdom. He shares losing everything twice. Then: "Set your affection on things above" (Colossians 3:1-2), the day of the Lord in 2 Peter 3, the institutional church vs the biblical church and the mustard seed, and the word that "endureth for ever" (1 Peter 1:22-25).

Also covered: the new heaven and new earth (Revelation 21:1-7), the rich fool and covetousness (Luke 12:15-21), faithful stewards, God's "peculiar treasure" (Exodus 19:3-6), a royal priesthood (1 Peter 2:9-11), the faith of Abraham, Noah and Moses (Hebrews 11), "Christ in you" (Colossians 1:25-27), "this treasure in earthen vessels" (2 Corinthians 4:1-7), and the rich young ruler (Matthew 19).

Questions answered
• How do we store up treasure in heaven? (28:21)
• What did losing everything teach about eternal value? (6:35)
• Who was the rich fool in Luke 12? (36:17)
• Why did Moses reject the treasures of Egypt? (1:07:39)
• What is the treasure in earthen vessels? (1:15:37)

James 2:24 says "by works a man is justified, and not by faith only," and Romans 3:28 says "a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law." Matt answers that Romans 3 is about works of the law, while James 2 is about works of faith: Abraham offering Isaac and Rahab receiving the messengers, and neither of them was under the law. There is no smoke without a fire. "For by grace are ye saved through faith... Not of works," yet "we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works" (Ephesians 2:8-10).

Other questions: should pastors be paid, should Christians tithe 10%, was Job before Adam (Genesis 1 and 2), the scariest prophecies (Luke 4; Isaiah 61), was Jesus heard in Gethsemane (Hebrews 5:7), Korah's rebellion (Numbers 16), eternal rewards and salvation, non-canonical books, leaving your church, asking angels for help (Acts 12), David's census (2 Samuel 24; 1 Chronicles 21), why God put the tree in the garden, the book of the wars of the Lord (Numbers 21), alcohol, and whether a registered sex offender can be a lead pastor (1 Thessalonians 5).

"But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man" (Hebrews 2:9). Otis and Matt explain why Jesus had to become fully man: "Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage" (Hebrews 2:14-15).

Along the way: "we see not yet all things put under him" (Hebrews 2:8), Peter walking on the water (Matthew 14:28-31), "by one man sin entered into the world" (Romans 5:12), "that he might destroy the works of the devil" (1 John 3:8), docetism and whether Jesus really came in the flesh, "in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily" (Colossians 2:9-10), hardened hearts (John 12; Isaiah 6), and the captain of our salvation made "perfect through sufferings" (Hebrews 2:10; Hebrews 5:8), who "ever liveth to make intercession" (Hebrews 7:25).

It opens on the heart that "is deceitful above all things" (Jeremiah 17:9), witchcraft and the blood debt, being "stewards of the mysteries of God" (1 Corinthians 4:1-2), and the fear of the Lord (Proverbs 2:1-6).

Questions answered
- Why did Jesus have to become fully man? (27:13)
- What does "all things put under his feet" mean? (28:37)
- Why was Jesus made a little lower than the angels? (40:30)
- How did Jesus destroy him that had the power of death? (49:21)
- What are the works of the devil Jesus came to destroy? (50:27)
- Did Jesus really come in the flesh? (1:13:03)
- How was Jesus made perfect through sufferings? (1:33:45)

Otis and Matt explain why Jesus had to become fully man: "Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage" (Hebrews 2:14-15).

Along the way: "we see not yet all things put under him" (Hebrews 2:8), Peter walking on the water (Matthew 14:28-31), "by one man sin entered into the world" (Romans 5:12), "that he might destroy the works of the devil" (1 John 3:8), docetism and whether Jesus really came in the flesh, "in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily" (Colossians 2:9-10), hardened hearts (John 12; Isaiah 6), and the captain of our salvation made "perfect through sufferings" (Hebrews 2:10; Hebrews 5:8), who "ever liveth to make intercession" (Hebrews 7:25).

It opens on the heart that "is deceitful above all things" (Jeremiah 17:9), witchcraft and the blood debt, being "stewards of the mysteries of God" (1 Corinthians 4:1-2), and the fear of the Lord (Proverbs 2:1-6).

Questions answered
- Why did Jesus have to become fully man? (27:13)
- What does "all things put under his feet" mean? (28:37)
- Why was Jesus made a little lower than the angels? (40:30)
- How did Jesus destroy him that had the power of death? (49:21)
- What are the works of the devil Jesus came to destroy? (50:27)
- Did Jesus really come in the flesh? (1:13:03)
- How was Jesus made perfect through sufferings? (1:33:45)

Matt points out that the problem in our generation is not fasting for attention; it is not fasting at all. Jesus said "when ye fast" the same way He said "when thou prayest" and "when thou doest thine alms." Fasting is choosing to go without food you have access to, which is different from hunger (Paul's "in fastings often," 2 Corinthians 11:27), and it says amen to "man shall not live by bread alone" (Matthew 4:1-4).

Why didn't Jesus' disciples fast? Because the bridegroom was with them: "then shall they fast in those days" (Luke 5:33-35). The hosts also cover the tithe eaten before the Lord (Deuteronomy 14:23-26), the Pharisee who said "I fast twice in the week" (Luke 18:9-14), the fast God has chosen (Isaiah 58), and "did ye at all fast unto me?" (Zechariah 7:4-7).

Then fasting in action: Ezra at the river of Ahava (Ezra 8:21-23), the church at Antioch fasting before sending out Barnabas and Saul (Acts 13:1-3), "I humbled my soul with fasting" (Psalm 35:13), Paul's thorn in the flesh (2 Corinthians 12:7-10), Ahab humbling himself (1 Kings 21:27-29), Nineveh's fast (Jonah 3), Esther's three-day fast (Esther 4:16), and the "Daniel fast" (Daniel 1:8-16; Daniel 10:1-12). Matt closes with his own 21-day Daniel fast and a weekly fast he took up from John Wesley's journal.

Questions answered
- Is fasting optional for Christians? (1:09)
- What is the difference between fasting and hunger? (5:46)
- Why didn't Jesus' disciples fast? (11:16)
- What is the danger of fasting? (16:35)

Bennis earned a biblical studies degree at Moody Bible Institute, then spent about a year re-studying the end-times system he was taught. He calls dispensationalism standard evangelical end-times teaching, invented in 1830 by John Darby, and says a "dispensation" is not the same as dispensationalism.

On Israel, Bennis argues from "they are not all Israel, which are of Israel" (Romans 9:6), Jesus in John 8:39-44, John the Baptist's "think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father" (Matthew 3:9), and "the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not" (Revelation 3:9; Revelation 2:9). He says no New Testament passage promises a regathering after the AD 70 dispersion, and that apocalyptic language must be read as its first audience read it.

Later: the pre-tribulation rapture, Satan bound a thousand years (Revelation 20:1-10), the strong man bound (Matthew 12:28-29), Satan's little season, "all Israel shall be saved" (Romans 11:26), and a tangent on the world before the flood (Numbers 13:23). Daniel's 70 weeks is saved for a future episode.

- What does "they are not all Israel, which are of Israel" mean? (9:08)

Otis walks through Hebrews 2:5-9 (read on air from the NASB) alongside Psalm 8 and Genesis 1-3. God did not put the world to come in subjection to angels; He gave dominion to man. Adam lost that dominion through sin, and Jesus, who took on flesh and blood, tasted death for every man and restores what Adam lost.

Along the way: Jew and Gentile made one new man (Ephesians 2:12-19), why a third of the angels rebelled, "had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory" (1 Corinthians 2:7-8), whether Psalm 8:5 means lower than God or lower than the angels, "what is man?" in Job 7:17 and Psalm 144:3-4, "we see not yet all things put under him" (Hebrews 2:8), why there is evil if God is in charge, and God's order in creation from Genesis 1:31 through the curse (Genesis 3:17-19) to reconciliation in Christ (Colossians 1:19-20).

Questions answered

- What is "the world to come" in Hebrews 2, Verse 5? (22:37)
- Why did a third of the angels rebel? (26:04)

Hebrews 2:5-9 quotes Psalm 8: God put the world to come under man, not angels, and "we see Jesus." Hebrews w/ Otis Fowler Pt 4, hosted by Matt Hepner and TopLobsta with Otis Fowler. Otis walks through... Hebrews w/ Otis Fowler Pt 4, hosted by Matt Hepner and TopLobsta with Otis Fowler.

Otis walks through Hebrews 2:5-9 (read on air from the NASB) alongside Psalm 8 and Genesis 1-3. God did not put the world to come in subjection to angels; He gave dominion to man. Adam lost that dominion through sin, and Jesus, who took on flesh and blood, tasted death for every man and restores what Adam lost.

Along the way: Jew and Gentile made one new man (Ephesians 2:12-19), why a third of the angels rebelled, "had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory" (1 Corinthians 2:7-8), whether Psalm 8:5 means lower than God or lower than the angels, "what is man?" in Job 7:17 and Psalm 144:3-4, "we see not yet all things put under him" (Hebrews 2:8), why there is evil if God is in charge, and God's order in creation from Genesis 1:31 through the curse (Genesis 3:17-19) to reconciliation in Christ (Colossians 1:19-20).

Questions answered
- Why wasn't the world to come put under angels? (11:09)
- What is "the world to come" in Hebrews 2, Verse 5? (22:37)
- Why did a third of the angels rebel? (26:04)
- Does Psalm 8, Verse 5 mean lower than God or lower than the angels? (51:03)
- What does "we see not yet all things put under him" mean? (1:24:08)
- If God is in charge, why is there evil in the world? (1:26:03)
- What did Adam lose, and how does Jesus restore it? (1:49:38)

Matt calls it a blank check. In Matthew 6:14-15 Jesus hands you the check: you write it out for forgiving or for not forgiving, but either way you cash it. Your life is a blank check, and you are as close to God as you want to be. The same pattern runs through "Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy" (Matthew 5:7), "when ye stand praying, forgive" (Mark 11:25-26), and "all things are yours" (1 Corinthians 3:21-23).

From there: the faithful and wise servant (Matthew 24:42-51), "If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves" (2 Chronicles 7:13-14), "With the merciful thou wilt shew thyself merciful" (2 Samuel 22:26-28), "God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble" (James 4:4-10; 1 Peter 5:5-10), sowing to the Spirit (Galatians 6:7-8; Galatians 5:16-17), confessing Christ before men (Matthew 10:32-33; Romans 10:8-13; John 12:42-43), the widow's oil that flowed until the vessels ran out (2 Kings 4:1-7), five barley loaves and two small fishes (John 6:1-13), and the parable of the talents (Matthew 25:14-30).

It opens on the Orthodox vs Protestant debate: take what is good, but do not join a camp just because it attacks the other one, the same division Paul faced in Corinth.

Questions answered
- What does "your life is a blank check" mean? (7:37)
- Will God forgive you if you don't forgive others? (8:13)
- Does God show mercy to the merciful? (18:36)
- What does "all things are yours" mean in 1 Corinthians 3? (19:26)
- Who is the faithful and wise servant? (33:00)
- How do you resist the devil? (47:53)
- How do you stop fulfilling the lust of the flesh? (57:18)
- Why did the servant hide his one talent? (1:30:21)

Stephen DeMattis, a former firefighter and the host of Biblical Hitman, tells how a friend back from Teen Challenge preached the gospel to him at 18. He was saved and baptized that night, went home, and preached the wide road to destruction and the narrow road (Matthew 7:13-14) to his dad, who got angry. After years of tension his dad gave his life to the Lord. His advice: people already feel something when the gospel comes to them, and a close call is the time to say "you're living on borrowed time."

Also: growing up near Parkland and the Marjory Stoneman Douglas shooting, a family of pro baseball players, a house fire he worked as a firefighter, planting a food forest and building a house on his land, how Biblical Hitman grew out of fallen-angel and Nephilim topics, the podcast algorithm, the woman taken in adultery ("He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her," John 8:7), Alice Bailey, the Lucis Trust and the coming Antichrist, Disclosure Day, House of David and The Chosen, and which Bible translation to read.

Matt reads David's story in 1 Samuel 16-22 as a pattern, half joking that Owen Benjamin is King David. Samuel anoints the shepherd boy because "man looketh on the outward appearance, but the LORD looketh on the heart" (1 Samuel 16:7). David plays the harp for Saul, refuses Saul's armour (1 Samuel 17:38-40), and "the soul of Jonathan was knit with the soul of David" (1 Samuel 18:1).

Then the turn: the women sing "Saul hath slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands," and "Saul was very wroth, and the saying displeased him" (1 Samuel 18:7-8). Saul eyes David, casts the javelin (1 Samuel 18:11), offers his daughters as a snare, and hunts him to Naioth in Ramah (1 Samuel 19:18-24). David feigns madness before Achish (1 Samuel 21:10-15) and hides in the cave Adullam, where "every one that was in distress, and every one that was in debt, and every one that was discontented, gathered themselves unto him" (1 Samuel 22:1-2). In the typology, Saul stands for "the system."

It opens with spiritual warfare stories, Jess healed after a week of dizziness, and "Love not the world" (1 John 2:15), and it closes on what God is looking for: real people, not actors.

Questions answered
- Why did God choose David over his brothers? (38:06)
- Why did Jonathan love David as his own soul? (48:54)
- Why did Saul turn against David? (56:10)

Chapter 1 showed Jesus above the prophets and the angels. Hebrews 2 opens with the first warning of the book: "we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip" (Hebrews 2:1). Otis explains that nobody drifts toward holiness. Drift is what happens when you stop rowing, one small neglect at a time.

"For if the word spoken by angels was stedfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompence of reward; How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation" (Hebrews 2:2-3)? The hosts look at Uzzah and the ark (2 Samuel 6:6-7), being "sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all" (Hebrews 10:10; 2 Corinthians 5:21), creation leaving men "without excuse" (Psalm 19:1-4; Romans 1:19-20), the unforgivable sin, the quail in the wilderness (Numbers 11), and the eyewitnesses of the Word of life (Luke 1:2; 1 John 1:1-3).

Verse 4: God bore witness "with signs and wonders, and with divers miracles, and gifts of the Holy Ghost." That leads to Mark 16:15-20, what speaking in tongues is, a follow-up on the two witnesses from the last Q&A, and "Who hath believed our report?" (Isaiah 53:1). It opens with Otis on the secret of the Lord (Proverbs 2:1-6; Proverbs 3:32; Psalm 119).

Questions answered
- What does "lest at any time we should let them slip" mean? (16:14)
- Why do Christians drift away from God? (20:16)
- Why did God strike Uzzah for touching the ark? (34:13)

"And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil" (Matthew 6:12-13). Matt points out that even in the Lord's Prayer we do not ask for forgiveness on its own. We ask for it "as we forgive." The ball is in your court, and your life is a blank check. "Be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another" (Ephesians 4:32), and the servant who was forgiven a huge debt and then choked his fellow servant (Matthew 18) shows what the other road looks like.

The theme is faith without works: faith that produces action. The man sick of the palsy (Mark 2), the woman who said "If I may touch but his clothes, I shall be whole" (Mark 5), "Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not" (1 John 3), "I am the vine, ye are the branches" (John 15), taking up the cross (Matthew 16:24-27), "created in Christ Jesus unto good works" (Ephesians 2:10), "God hath not given us the spirit of fear" (2 Timothy 1:7), and "by the grace of God I am what I am" (1 Corinthians 15:10).

It ends with the parable of the talents (Matthew 25). The servant who hid his talent said "I was afraid," and "the fearful" head the list in Revelation 21:8. Matt's answer: walk through it afraid.

Questions answered
- What does "forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors" mean? (2:01)
- What does "lead us not into temptation" mean? (2:33)
- Why did the unforgiving servant lose his forgiveness? (5:06)
- What does "faith without works is dead" look like in real life? (10:59)
- Were Old Testament saints born again? (31:00)
- Why did the servant hide his talent? (1:11:34)

Matthew 6:12-13 (KJV): we ask to be forgiven as we forgive, so faith has to show up in how we live. Sermon on the Mount Pt 18, hosted by Matt Hepner and TopLobsta. "And forgive us our... Sermon on the Mount Pt 18, hosted by Matt Hepner and TopLobsta.

"And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil" (Matthew 6:12-13). Matt points out that even in the Lord's Prayer we do not ask for forgiveness on its own. We ask for it "as we forgive." The ball is in your court, and your life is a blank check. "Be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another" (Ephesians 4:32), and the servant who was forgiven a huge debt and then choked his fellow servant (Matthew 18) shows what the other road looks like.

The theme is faith without works: faith that produces action. The man sick of the palsy (Mark 2), the woman who said "If I may touch but his clothes, I shall be whole" (Mark 5), "Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not" (1 John 3), "I am the vine, ye are the branches" (John 15), taking up the cross (Matthew 16:24-27), "created in Christ Jesus unto good works" (Ephesians 2:10), "God hath not given us the spirit of fear" (2 Timothy 1:7), and "by the grace of God I am what I am" (1 Corinthians 15:10).

It ends with the parable of the talents (Matthew 25). The servant who hid his talent said "I was afraid," and "the fearful" head the list in Revelation 21:8. Matt's answer: walk through it afraid.

Questions answered
- What does "forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors" mean? (2:01)
- What does "lead us not into temptation" mean? (2:33)
- Why did the unforgiving servant lose his forgiveness? (5:06)
- What does "faith without works is dead" look like in real life? (10:59)
- Were Old Testament saints born again? (31:00)
- Why did the servant hide his talent? (1:11:34)

Pastor Rick, the pastor of TopLobsta and The Raven, comes on the show. When he heard Psalm 22 brought up, "But I am a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised of the people" (Psalm 22:6), he saw a prophecy about Jesus and looked up the Hebrew word tola, the crimson worm. When the worm dies on the tree, it stains the tree and covers its young, and its shell turns white: "though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow" (Isaiah 1:18).

Is the Holy Spirit still working today? Rick tells how a visitor about 29 years ago gave him advice, and how from that time on the church has invited the Holy Spirit into everything it does: his plan is always "subject to the presence of Holy Spirit." "It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you" (John 16:7). Also: reconciliation between Christians (Matthew 18:15), God looking for disciples rather than numbers, growing from nine supported missionaries to 240, and being invited into the fellowship of the Trinity (John 17:21).

His testimony: growing up in a paper mill town in North Louisiana, getting saved at a revival, telling his unbelieving dad (an ex-boxer), "deny yourself, take up your cross, and follow me," people turning toward Christ after the Charlie Kirk news, the call to repentance, "the fields are white already to harvest" (John 4:35), and his son Josh coming back to God at a missionary's altar call.

Questions answered
- Why is Jesus called a worm in Psalm 22, Verse 6? (8:56)
- What is the crimson worm (tola)? (35:01)
- Is God looking for disciples or numbers? (13:42)
- How does the Holy Spirit lead a church service? (23:52)

"Give us this day our daily bread" (Matthew 6:11). Matt reads the Lord's Prayer in Matthew 6:7-15 and starts with "godliness with contentment is great gain" (1 Timothy 6:6-10) and "take no thought for the morrow." Then the bread itself: "Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God" (Matthew 4:4; Deuteronomy 8:3), "I am the bread of life" (John 6:35), and Job, who "esteemed the words of his mouth more than my necessary food" (Job 23:12).

Most of the episode is in the wilderness. God rains "bread from heaven" to prove them day by day (Exodus 16:4), "man did eat angels' food" (Psalm 78:25), and the manna does not fall on the sabbath. In Numbers 11 the mixed multitude lusts for flesh, Eldad and Medad prophesy in the camp, and the quail end at Kibroth-hattaavah, "because there they buried the people that lusted." Deuteronomy 8 warns not to say "My power and the might of mine hand hath gotten me this wealth."

The last stretch moves into verse 12: the unforgiving servant (Matthew 18:23-35), the woman who "loved much" (Luke 7:36-50), "faith without works is dead" (James 2:14-26), and Peter walking on the water.

Beach Boy asks why God did not punish Aaron right away after he made the golden calf. Matt and Top read Exodus 32. "When the people saw that Moses delayed to come down out of the mount," they asked Aaron to make gods, and Aaron called a feast to the LORD in front of the calf: delay led to mixed worship. "The LORD repented of the evil which he thought to do unto his people" (verse 14), the sons of Levi answered "Who is on the LORD's side?" (verse 26), and Moses prayed, "if not, blot me, I pray thee, out of thy book which thou hast written" (verse 32). Their answer: the responsibility falls on both Aaron and the people, and God still had a role for Aaron in the story.

Other questions: the season of Christ's return, being born into sin (John 1:9), the Amalekites, how Jesus was born without sin, Ecclesiastes 1, fire or lightning from heaven (Leviticus 9:22-24), NASB95 or NLT, the Recovery Version, extra-biblical books, a Wednesday crucifixion, Esau's birthright, purgatory, "flesh and bones" (Luke 24:39), and "greater works than these" (John 14:12).

Near the end: are the two witnesses of Revelation 11 Moses and Elijah come back, or two people born in our day?

Questions answered
- Are we expected to know the season of Christ's return? (20:55)
- Are we born into sin? (24:42)
- Why did God say to wipe out the Amalekites? (29:27)
- Why didn't God punish Aaron for the golden calf? (1:11:19)
- Is purgatory in the Bible? (2:09:22)
- Who are the two witnesses in Revelation 11? (2:26:15)
- What does "greater works than these" mean? (2:31:03)

Exodus 32 (KJV), plus the two witnesses (Revelation 11) and more from the July 6, 2026 live Q&A. Straight Bible Q&A, hosted by Matt Hepner and TopLobsta. Beach Boy asks why God did not punish Aaron... Straight Bible Q&A, hosted by Matt Hepner and TopLobsta.

Beach Boy asks why God did not punish Aaron right away after he made the golden calf. Matt and Top read Exodus 32. "When the people saw that Moses delayed to come down out of the mount," they asked Aaron to make gods, and Aaron called a feast to the LORD in front of the calf: delay led to mixed worship. "The LORD repented of the evil which he thought to do unto his people" (verse 14), the sons of Levi answered "Who is on the LORD's side?" (verse 26), and Moses prayed, "if not, blot me, I pray thee, out of thy book which thou hast written" (verse 32). Their answer: the responsibility falls on both Aaron and the people, and God still had a role for Aaron in the story.

Other questions: the season of Christ's return, being born into sin (John 1:9), the Amalekites, how Jesus was born without sin, Ecclesiastes 1, fire or lightning from heaven (Leviticus 9:22-24), NASB95 or NLT, the Recovery Version, extra-biblical books, a Wednesday crucifixion, Esau's birthright, purgatory, "flesh and bones" (Luke 24:39), and "greater works than these" (John 14:12).

Near the end: are the two witnesses of Revelation 11 Moses and Elijah come back, or two people born in our day?

Questions answered
- Are we expected to know the season of Christ's return? (20:55)
- Are we born into sin? (24:42)
- Why did God say to wipe out the Amalekites? (29:27)
- Why didn't God punish Aaron for the golden calf? (1:11:19)
- Is purgatory in the Bible? (2:09:22)
- Who are the two witnesses in Revelation 11? (2:26:15)
- What does "greater works than these" mean? (2:31:03)

Ed Mabrie joins Matt Hepner and TopLobsta and shares his new book on the letters to the seven churches (Revelation 1-4) and his spiritual warfare course. The first hour covers being born again ("Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God," John 3:3), familiar spirits, the four voices, God's "still small voice" (1 Kings 19:12), the sword of the Spirit (Ephesians 6:17), and why the church is not a building.

Then the big debate. Ed says God does not know how faithful you are going to be, because you are an entity of free choice: "The choice I'm going to make tomorrow doesn't exist yet." He walks through the satan in Job 1, Abraham and Isaac (Hebrews 11:17-19), prophecy, and Calvinism and irresistible grace. The hosts push back with "Shall I hide from Abraham that thing which I do... For I know him" (Genesis 18:17-19). These are Ed's views; the hosts don't all agree.

It ends with hell as separation from the Father ("My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?"), whether eternal punishment is just, the man who never heard ("Jungle Joe"), Cornelius and "in every nation he that feareth him... is accepted with him" (Acts 10:35), a calling into ministry, and David's lion and bear (1 Samuel 17).

Questions answered
- Does God know the future choices of free people? (42:50)
- Can you love without free will? (47:00)
- What about Bible prophecy? (43:49)
- What is irresistible grace? (55:16)
- What does "For I know him" in Genesis 18, Verse 19 mean? (1:05:55)

Pt 16 recaps "Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done" (Matthew 6:10) and asks how you get into that kingdom. There are two kingdoms: "every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation" (Matthew 12:25), the sheep and the goats (Matthew 25:31-46), and "Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord" (Matthew 7:21). Nobody casually ends up in heaven. We are "without strength" until "while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:6-8), because the natural man is "alienated from the life of God" (Ephesians 4:17-18) and "the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not" (2 Corinthians 4:3-4).

Then John 3: Nicodemus comes by night, and Jesus says "Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God... Ye must be born again" (John 3:3-7). Along the way: baptism as burial with Him (Romans 6:1-7), "He must increase, but I must decrease" (John 3:30), and "as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness" (John 3:14; Numbers 21:8-9).

It closes back in Matthew 6: "Thy will be done," "Bless the LORD, O my soul" (Psalm 103), "Give us this day our daily bread" (Matthew 6:11), life as "a vapour" (James 4:13-15), "he hath set the world in their heart" (Ecclesiastes 3:11), and "godliness with contentment is great gain" (1 Timothy 6:6-10).

"For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee?" (Hebrews 1:5). After a recap of Hebrews 1:1-4, Otis reads Hebrews 1:4-14. The Son took the form of a servant (Philippians 2:7), "Thou art my Son" comes from Psalm 2:7, and He was foreordained before the foundation of the world (1 Peter 1:20). The only begotten Son is set against the sons of God in Job 1:6.

Worshipping angels is a warning sign (Colossians 2:18; Galatians 1:8). They cover the spirit of antichrist, "forbidding to marry" (1 Timothy 4:1-5), and "Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light" (2 Corinthians 11:14). Angels are "ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation" (Hebrews 1:14), and Gabriel stands "in the presence of God" (Luke 1:19).

"But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever" (Hebrews 1:8). From there: the parable of the vineyard (Isaiah 5), whether angels look like men, the fulness of the Godhead (Colossians 1:15-20; 2:9), Isaiah 53, and "a body hast thou prepared me" (Hebrews 10:4-7; Psalm 40:6-8).

Questions answered
- Why is Jesus better than the angels? (11:51)
- What does "this day have I begotten thee" mean? (14:20)
- Should Christians worship angels? (19:11)
- What are ministering spirits? (26:04)
- What is an angel of light? (34:11)
- Why does God call the Son "O God" in Hebrews 1, Verse 8? (46:24)

Matt and Top answer 21 listener questions; the longest Bible answer is on Melchizedek. They read Hebrews 7: "this Melchisedec, king of Salem, priest of the most high God, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings." He was "without father, without mother, without descent," Abraham paid him tithes before the law, and Levi "payed tithes in Abraham." Psalm 110:4 says "Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek." Man, angel or Christ?

Other questions: defending the divinity of Jesus (John 1), whether God still speaks through dreams, voting and Romans 13:1-2, missionaries and Acts 1:8, marriage and a wedding ceremony, taking up your cross (Matthew 10:32-39), inherited crystals and the stones of the breastplate, taxes and Caesar (Matthew 22:21), and the ephah and flying scroll in Zechariah 5.

Also: why demon possession fills the Gospels (Mark 1:21-27, "what new doctrine is this?"), fellowship with a gay family member (1 Corinthians 5:9-13), whether a third temple has to be built, why Simon and Saul got new names, "a spirit hath not flesh and bones" (Luke 24:39), Babylon and the West, Israel in Romans 11:25-28, dating a non-Christian, and the Comma Johanneum (1 John 5:7).

Questions answered
- Who was Melchizedek? (2:19:01)
- What does "after the order of Melchizedek" mean? (2:26:05)
- How do we defend the divinity of Jesus? (10:08)

"God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds" (Hebrews 1:1-2). Otis explains why he reads the NASB 1995, then reads Hebrews 1:1-4.

Hebrews was written to believers under persecution, and the book sets the old covenant beside the new: grace and truth came by Jesus Christ (John 1:17), and God cut a covenant with Abram (Genesis 15). "The express image of his person" (Hebrews 1:3) is like a stamp on wax, not the moon reflecting the sun. Jesus says "Before Abraham was, I am" (John 8:58), "I and my Father are one" (John 10:30) and "he that hath seen me hath seen the Father" (John 14:9).

Also covered: the first and the last (Isaiah 44; Revelation 1), heaven meted out with the span (Isaiah 40:12), "the brightness of his glory," the only begotten Son, modalism and the Trinity, "upholding all things by the word of his power," "the image of the invisible God" (Colossians 1:15-20), one sacrifice for sins (Hebrews 10:11-12), and an outline of the whole book.

Questions answered
- How has God spoken to us by His Son (Hebrews 1, Verses 1-2)? (9:24)
- What does "the express image of his person" mean? (19:11)
- Why was Hebrews written? (10:53)
- What is the difference between the old and new covenant? (14:02)
- What does "the brightness of his glory" mean? (57:54)
- What does "only begotten" mean? (1:01:07)
- What is modalism? (1:04:15)

Hebrews 1:1-4: God spoke by the prophets, but in these last days by His Son, the express image of His person. Hebrews w/ Otis Fowler Pt 1, with Otis Fowler, Matt Hepner and TopLobsta. "God, who at sundry times and... Hebrews w/ Otis Fowler Pt 1, with Otis Fowler, Matt Hepner and TopLobsta.

"God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds" (Hebrews 1:1-2). Otis explains why he reads the NASB 1995, then reads Hebrews 1:1-4.

Hebrews was written to believers under persecution, and the book sets the old covenant beside the new: grace and truth came by Jesus Christ (John 1:17), and God cut a covenant with Abram (Genesis 15). "The express image of his person" (Hebrews 1:3) is like a stamp on wax, not the moon reflecting the sun. Jesus says "Before Abraham was, I am" (John 8:58), "I and my Father are one" (John 10:30) and "he that hath seen me hath seen the Father" (John 14:9).

Also covered: the first and the last (Isaiah 44; Revelation 1), heaven meted out with the span (Isaiah 40:12), "the brightness of his glory," the only begotten Son, modalism and the Trinity, "upholding all things by the word of his power," "the image of the invisible God" (Colossians 1:15-20), one sacrifice for sins (Hebrews 10:11-12), and an outline of the whole book.

- What does "the express image of his person" mean? (19:11)

Ben from End of the World News joins Matt and TopLobsta. He grew up with a Jewish identity, was a rebellious atheist, lived in Hollywood, and spent years on opiates. In 12-step meetings he heard addiction called a disease, then read the passage where the unclean spirit "taketh with himself seven other spirits more wicked than himself" (Matthew 12:43-45) and saw it as a spiritual problem.

A friend told him, "Try praying to God." After a detour through new age ideas, he heard that "the most Jewish thing you could do is follow the Jewish Messiah." Around 2021 the unseen realm started to make sense to him through Romans 8, Deuteronomy 32:8-9 and "we wrestle not against flesh and blood" (Ephesians 6:12). Now he preaches the gospel to his Uber riders and points to the Great Commission (Matthew 28:19-20).

The second half is Ben's view of world events, prophecy and Israel, which he says are being manufactured, with the hosts pushing back that God still has a destiny for that nation (Romans 11). They also cover Yom Kippur, Jesus as the Passover lamb, "Render therefore unto Caesar" (Matthew 22:21), the sinner's prayer, and Jacob wrestling with God (Genesis 32:28). These are Ben's views, discussed openly.

Questions answered
- How did an atheist addict come to Jesus? (16:05)
- What does Matthew 12, Verses 43-45 say about addiction? (24:38)
- What is the most Jewish thing you can do? (42:07)

- How do you share the gospel at work? (46:47)

"After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven" (Matthew 6:9-10). Matt reads the whole prayer (6:9-13), then starts with how God invites us into His work: "the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us" (Romans 8:26), "Shall I hide from Abraham that thing which I do" (Genesis 18), "called us with an holy calling" (2 Timothy 1:9), Daniel reading Jeremiah (Daniel 9), and "we are labourers together with God" (1 Corinthians 3:9).

"Our Father" leads into Jesus' prayer in John 17: "Sanctify them through thy truth." Sanctify and hallowed share the Greek word hagiazo: holy, separated from the profane, consecrated. Matt's picture: his wife can walk into a bank with his name, and it means something. Let His name mean something in you. Mary says "holy is his name" (Luke 1:49), God says "I will be hallowed among the children of Israel" (Leviticus 22:32), and "Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain" (Exodus 20:7).

"Thy kingdom come" is a kingdom that is "not of this world" (John 18:36). It runs through Matthew 24, Satan's kingdom (Matthew 12:25-26), the whole armour of God (Ephesians 6:10-18), "endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ" (2 Timothy 2:3), and "we are not ignorant of his devices" (2 Corinthians 2:11).

Hosted by Matt Hepner and TopLobsta, with David Lee Corbo (The Raven).

Listener questions from the Nephilim Death Squad Patreon and live chat. On people who never heard of Christ, Matt goes to Peter: "God is no respecter of persons: But in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him" (Acts 10:34-35), and to Paul: the invisible things of God "are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made... so that they are without excuse" (Romans 1:20). As one of the co-hosts put it: "God's issue is not how do I put good people in hell. God's issue is how do I get bad people into heaven. That's why Jesus came."

Also covered: whether the earth cries out to God (Genesis 4:10; Luke 19:40), the Trinity, hearing God without an audible voice, what worship is (Isaiah 26:3), and whether the dead can see us or be prayed for ("it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment," Hebrews 9:27; the cloud of witnesses, Hebrews 12:1).

The last question asks what "the temple of God" is in 2 Thessalonians 2:4, set against "your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost" (1 Corinthians 6:19). Matt asks whether a system could set itself up in that temple, and the crew talks about living in the world but not of it (1 Peter 4:8; Daniel 1:8).

Questions answered
• How can God be three persons? (16:59)
• Who was the young man who fled naked in Mark 14? (23:13)
• Can people who never heard of Jesus be saved? (31:32)
• Do you hear God's audible voice? (40:36)
• What was the hardest thing to change when you started following Jesus? (44:26)
• What is worship? (56:44)
• Can the dead see us, and can we pray for loved ones who died? (1:40:26)
• What is the temple of God in 2 Thessalonians 2:4? (1:50:52)

The Raven tells his story on Straight Bible. He grew up in New Jersey with his parents apart (Hebrews 12:8 comes up at 5:22), raised by many women in a big spooky house. His grandmother was a clairvoyant, and an aunt who was never the same after a Ouija board talked about smelling the devil before he appears. He calls it generational iniquity.

Then comes the searching: alien abduction stories in the family, Whitley Strieber's Communion, sleep paralysis and the hat man (his dad saw him too), Bigfoot, a woman's voice in his head, a light pouring out of a closet, getting knocked out with a baseball bat, homelessness at 16, meeting his wife, welding, and cancer.

The turn: a demonic entity that he, his wife and his son all saw. "I had no other options." He took authority over his home "in the name of Jesus Christ" and it stopped (2:05:11). That led to The Raven's Watch, meeting TopLobsta through The Confessionals community, and the start of Nephilim Death Squad.

Questions answered
- How did the Raven come to Jesus? (2:05:11)
- What is generational iniquity? (20:17)
- Who is the hat man? (41:45)
- Is the hat man just sleep paralysis? (1:15:25)

Tell us in the...]]>8497alien,bible,christ,christian,conspiracy,corbo,david,encounters,jesus,paranormal,podcast,raven,spiritual,straight,study,testimony,the,theory,ufo,warfarefalse48fullhttps://www.toplobsta.com/pages/nephilim-death-squad Sermon on the Mount Pt 14, hosted by Matt Hepner and TopLobsta.

"But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking" (Matthew 6:7). After a recap of praying in secret, Matt pictures a customer who says "I'll take a large hot mocha" over and over. That is how ridiculous vain repetition is. Saying prayers is different from praying: prayer is a back-and-forth conversation with God.

How does God talk? "Call unto me, and I will answer thee" (Jeremiah 33:3). The Spirit of truth "will guide you into all truth" (John 16:13), and the Comforter "shall teach you all things" (John 14:26). Israel "forsaken me the fountain of living waters" and hewed out broken cisterns (Jeremiah 2:13). In Isaiah 45 God forms the light and creates darkness (45:7), the clay does not argue with the potter, and "concerning the work of my hands command ye me" (45:11).

"Your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him" (Matthew 6:8), so "come boldly unto the throne of grace" (Hebrews 4:16). The Spirit makes intercession "with groanings which cannot be uttered" (Romans 8:26). Nineveh prays "Who can tell if God will turn and repent" (Jonah 3:9), Daniel confesses "We have sinned" (Daniel 9), Jesus prays in John 17, and Daniel is heard from the first day (Daniel 10:12). Is thanking God every day a vain repetition? Not if it comes from the heart.

Questions answered
- What are vain repetitions? (8:10)
- Is saying prayers the same as praying? (8:40)
- How does God talk to us? (7:04)
- What does "Call unto me, and I will answer thee" mean? (11:11)
- If God knows what we need, why pray? (45:11)
- What does it mean to come boldly to the throne of grace? (51:19)
- Is thanking God daily a vain repetition? (1:25:03)

"But when ye pray, use not vain... Sermon on the Mount Pt 14, hosted by Matt Hepner and TopLobsta.

"But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking" (Matthew 6:7). After a recap of praying in secret, Matt pictures a customer who says "I'll take a large hot mocha" over and over. That is how ridiculous vain repetition is. Saying prayers is different from praying: prayer is a back-and-forth conversation with God.

How does God talk? "Call unto me, and I will answer thee" (Jeremiah 33:3). The Spirit of truth "will guide you into all truth" (John 16:13), and the Comforter "shall teach you all things" (John 14:26). Israel "forsaken me the fountain of living waters" and hewed out broken cisterns (Jeremiah 2:13). In Isaiah 45 God forms the light and creates darkness (45:7), the clay does not argue with the potter, and "concerning the work of my hands command ye me" (45:11).

"Your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him" (Matthew 6:8), so "come boldly unto the throne of grace" (Hebrews 4:16). The Spirit makes intercession "with groanings which cannot be uttered" (Romans 8:26). Nineveh prays "Who can tell if God will turn and repent" (Jonah 3:9), Daniel confesses "We have sinned" (Daniel 9), Jesus prays in John 17, and Daniel is heard from the first day (Daniel 10:12). Is thanking God every day a vain repetition? Not if it comes from the heart.

Questions answered
- What are vain repetitions? (8:10)
- Is saying prayers the same as praying? (8:40)
- How does God talk to us? (7:04)
- What does "Call unto me, and I will answer thee" mean? (11:11)
- If God knows what we need, why pray? (45:11)
- What does it mean to come boldly to the throne of grace? (51:19)
- Is thanking God daily a vain repetition? (1:25:03)

Doc Brown's hypothesis is that the Cain and Abel story is a highlight reel of years of resentment, and that Abel was killed as a sacrifice to a false god. The earth "opened her mouth to receive thy brother's blood" (Genesis 4:11), and Matt and Doc talk about the false gods and signs around the first families, why God still reasoned with Cain, and Abel's "more excellent sacrifice" (Hebrews 11:4).

Next come two creations of mankind (Genesis 1:26-28 and Genesis 2), the mark of Cain in rabbinic tradition (Rashi), and Lamech's two wives (Genesis 4:19). Doc explains why he thinks Esau, who "came out red, all over like an hairy garment" (Genesis 25:25), was more than he seems, drawing on Jewish traditions about Nimrod, the garments of Eden and the birthright.

Matt brings Deuteronomy 2, where "the Horims also dwelt in Seir beforetime, but the children of Esau succeeded them," and they finish on the Amalekites. Many of these are Doc's interpretations of extra-biblical sources (Rashi, the Midrash, the Book of Jasher, Ginzberg's Legends of the Jews). Be a Berean and check them against Scripture.

Jesus warns against praying "that they may be seen of men" and says "enter into thy closet." Matt defines prayer as communication with God, and "Pray without ceasing" (1 Thessalonians 5:17) as living "in light of the reality of me and God." Prayer is persistent (Luke 18:1; Luke 11:5-13), needs faith (Hebrews 11:6), and asks, seeks and knocks (Matthew 7:7-8).

Who stands before God? "He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart" (Psalm 24:4). His sheep know His voice and the hireling flees (John 10), and Israel was told to "hearken to the voice of the LORD" (Exodus 15:26).

The closet is real. Jesus went "up into a mountain apart to pray" (Matthew 14:23) and "withdrew himself into the wilderness, and prayed" (Luke 5:16). Moses had 40 years in the desert, Elijah had the brook Cherith, and Paul went into Arabia (Galatians 1:17). The study ends on "Behold, he prayeth" (Acts 9:11).

Questions answered
• What is prayer? (5:45)
• What does "pray without ceasing" mean? (9:55)
• Why should men always pray and not faint? (15:12)
• How do you know God's voice? (33:27)
• What does it mean to pray in secret? (1:04:34)
• Why did Jesus go alone to pray? (1:06:03)

Matt and Raven take live questions: reading the Bible to toddlers, whether Jesus had human genetic material, phones and social media, repenting to your kids, and forgiving "until seventy times seven" (Matthew 18:22). Matt names favorite preachers like G. Campbell Morgan, and they cover "believing ye might have life through his name" (John 20:31), obeying government vs conscience, Solomon's wisdom and downfall, and the kings' copy of the law (Deuteronomy 17).

Later: "fear not" and reading Scripture without fear, the fivefold ministry, why Judah didn't learn from Israel, "confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus" (Romans 10:9), commentaries, the rapture and Israel, "if that first covenant had been faultless" (Hebrews 8:7), Adam, Eve and the serpent, and Solomon asking for wisdom (1 Kings 3).

Questions answered
• How do you teach the Bible to a toddler? (3:01)
• Should parents repent to their kids? (21:04)
• How many times should you forgive? (33:05)
• Why did Solomon fall? (52:42)

Matt and Raven take live questions: reading the Bible to toddlers, whether Jesus had human genetic material, phones and social media, repenting to your kids, and forgiving "until seventy times seven" (Matthew 18:22). Matt names favorite preachers like G. Campbell Morgan, and they cover "believing ye might have life through his name" (John 20:31), obeying government vs conscience, Solomon's wisdom and downfall, and the kings' copy of the law (Deuteronomy 17).

Later: "fear not" and reading Scripture without fear, the fivefold ministry, why Judah didn't learn from Israel, "confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus" (Romans 10:9), commentaries, the rapture and Israel, "if that first covenant had been faultless" (Hebrews 8:7), Adam, Eve and the serpent, and Solomon asking for wisdom (1 Kings 3).

Questions answered
• How do you teach the Bible to a toddler? (3:01)
• Should parents repent to their kids? (21:04)
• How many times should you forgive? (33:05)
• Why did Solomon fall? (52:42)
• What is the fivefold ministry? (1:24:16)
• Why was a new covenant needed? (2:00:14)

A listener asks: "Is this a done deal that I'm not getting saved because I'm not part of a church or have been baptized?" On church, Matt reads "Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together" (Hebrews 10:25) and "Then they that feared the LORD spake often one to another" (Malachi 3:16).

On baptism: "He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved" (Mark 16:16), yet the thief on the cross heard "To day shalt thou be with me in paradise" (Luke 23:43). There is "one baptism" (Ephesians 4:5), and "baptism doth also now save us... the answer of a good conscience toward God" (1 Peter 3:21). "We are buried with him by baptism into death" (Romans 6:4). In Acts 8 the Ethiopian asks, "See, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized?" Matt: "I'm not saying if you don't get baptized, you can't be saved... I'm just saying go get baptized."

Also: communion and "not discerning the Lord's body" (1 Corinthians 11:29), a believing wife ("the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife," 1 Corinthians 7:14), a wife raised a Jehovah's Witness, Job 1:21, and heaven (2 Corinthians 5:8).

Questions answered
• Do I have to go to church and get baptized to be saved? (2:04)
• Does baptism save you (1 Peter 3:21)? (35:54)
• How do you take communion outside a church? (1:10:29)
• How does a believing wife affect her children and husband? (1:18:36)
• My wife was raised a Jehovah's Witness. What should I do? (1:32:24)
• Can the enemy influence our emotions, like Job? (1:38:10)
• Do we go to heaven right away when we die? (1:57:49)
• Why would God make us imperfect and then demand perfection? (2:02:48)

Thomas worked at Disney from 2003 to 2016, and he joined the Freemasons. His view of Walt Disney: "Walt Disney was an occultist at heart." He points to Walt's membership in DeMolay and says the early films, starting with Snow White, taught "Rosicrucianism." After Walt died, he says, the studio kept the pattern only because it sold: "you traumatize a kid... you kill their parents," and then the sidekick becomes the Happy Meal toy. Walt's "nine old men" carried it on.

Along the way: political kayfabe, secret societies giving way to boardrooms, egregores, what happens inside a lodge, the Franklin scandal, adrenochrome, the Time Samplers comic and Jekyll Island, the Woodpecker Grid, a $70,000 pilot offer with a Margaret Sanger stipulation, nostalgia as a delivery system, and Project Montauk. These are Thomas's accounts and research, and he labels several of them as unproven.

Matt keeps coming back to Scripture. On adrenochrome, he cites the Jerusalem council telling Gentile believers to "abstain... from blood" (Acts 15:20). On money and secret knowledge, he cites Simon the sorcerer, who offered money for the Holy Ghost and heard "Thy money perish with thee" (Acts 8:18-20): "If the church doesn't have something supernatural... then it doesn't have anything." Thomas read the Bible end to end four times in military confinement and says it never clicked. Matt closes by praying for him, asking "Where is the LORD God of Elijah?" (2 Kings 2:14).

Jesus says to give "in secret," not "as the hypocrites do... that they may have glory of men" (Matthew 6:2). Matt traces how money was raised in the Bible: for the poor, not for buildings. Paul's collection for the saints at Jerusalem carries "God loveth a cheerful giver" (2 Corinthians 9:7). The disciples sent relief to Judaea before a famine (Acts 11:29), and the widow cast in "all the living that she had" (Luke 21:4).

Then the rich young ruler (Mark 10:17-27): "Jesus beholding him loved him," and he "went away grieved: for he had great possessions." Matt: "At least this dude was truthful enough... he's not a hypocrite. He walked away." Next comes the contrast: Barnabas sells his land, but Ananias and Sapphira keep back part of the price and die. Peter tells them, "Thou hast not lied unto men, but unto God" (Acts 5:4). Why did they lie? "To be seen of men," the same motive as Matthew 6:1-4.

Also: Satan entering Judas twice (Luke 22:3; John 13:27), all of Matthew 23 ("Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites!"), and three people who were not hypocrites: Zacchaeus (Luke 19:1-10), Apollos (Acts 18:24-28) and Nathanael, "in whom is no guile" (John 1:47).

Questions answered
• Who was money raised for in the early church? (2:02)
• Why did Jesus tell the rich young ruler to sell all he had? (15:59)
• Why did Ananias and Sapphira die? (28:32)
• Was Barnabas the rich young ruler? (35:58)
• Did Satan enter Judas once or twice? (40:25)
• Why did Jesus call the Pharisees hypocrites in Matthew 23? (51:39)

Matthew 6:1-4 (KJV): "Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of them." Sermon on the Mount Pt 12 with Matt Hepner, TopLobsta and Gavin Kessler. Jesus says to give "in secret," not "as the... Sermon on the Mount Pt 12 with Matt Hepner, TopLobsta and Gavin Kessler.

Jesus says to give "in secret," not "as the hypocrites do... that they may have glory of men" (Matthew 6:2). Matt traces how money was raised in the Bible: for the poor, not for buildings. Paul's collection for the saints at Jerusalem carries "God loveth a cheerful giver" (2 Corinthians 9:7). The disciples sent relief to Judaea before a famine (Acts 11:29), and the widow cast in "all the living that she had" (Luke 21:4).

Then the rich young ruler (Mark 10:17-27): "Jesus beholding him loved him," and he "went away grieved: for he had great possessions." Matt: "At least this dude was truthful enough... he's not a hypocrite. He walked away." Next comes the contrast: Barnabas sells his land, but Ananias and Sapphira keep back part of the price and die. Peter tells them, "Thou hast not lied unto men, but unto God" (Acts 5:4). Why did they lie? "To be seen of men," the same motive as Matthew 6:1-4.

Also: Satan entering Judas twice (Luke 22:3; John 13:27), all of Matthew 23 ("Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites!"), and three people who were not hypocrites: Zacchaeus (Luke 19:1-10), Apollos (Acts 18:24-28) and Nathanael, "in whom is no guile" (John 1:47).

Questions answered
• Who was money raised for in the early church? (2:02)
• Why did Jesus tell the rich young ruler to sell all he had? (15:59)
• Why did Ananias and Sapphira die? (28:32)
• Was Barnabas the rich young ruler? (35:58)
• Did Satan enter Judas once or twice? (40:25)
• Why did Jesus call the Pharisees hypocrites in Matthew 23? (51:39)

Otis grew up in church, walked away at 17, and spent years chasing money, partying, steroids and drugs while his sister struggled with addiction. A blank check prayer, Isaiah 6 on a Bible app and Romans 8:16 turned him around, followed by losing nearly everything, five years free of addictions, student ministry, the Asbury Revival and seminary. He talks about why men forgot how to be men, beach outreach with a prayer tent, ocean baptisms with more than 15 local churches, and the ministry called Eden. Then his book, Tending Eden: His Garden, People, and Glory: each session moves from highs and lows through a theme, reflection, foundational scripture, key insights, group discussion, a kingdom perspective and closing prayer points to a commission. Along the way: soul and spirit (Hebrews 4:12), the greatest commandment (Mark 12:30) and Deuteronomy 6.

Hypocrisy stands in exact opposition to the culture of the kingdom. Matt reads Matthew 6:1-4 (do not sound a trumpet before thee) and balances it with being salt and light: the issue is your motive, not whether you are seen. The Greek hypokrites means an actor, a stage player, a pretender. Hypocrisy is the disease; doing things to be seen of men is the symptom. Then Jesus' woes at a Pharisee's table (Luke 11:37-52), and in Luke 12 the leaven of the Pharisees, be not afraid of them that kill the body, confessing Christ before men, the rich fool, take no thought, and where your treasure is. It ends with the cheerful giver (2 Corinthians 9:7), beware of the scribes, and the widow's two mites (Luke 21:1-4).

Primary passage: Luke 12:1 (KJV)

Passages in this episode: Matthew 6:1-4 · Matthew 8:1-4 · Luke 11:37-52 · Luke 12:2-34 · Matthew 15:14 · 2 Corinthians 9:7 · Luke 20:45-47 · Luke 21:1-4

Picking up Matthew 5:38-42 from Part 9, Matt says the other cheek is about insults, not danger: don't meet force with force, and ask what the other person is going through. He reads Luke 22:35-38 (the two swords), points to Romans 13 on why order beats anarchy, and reads Acts 13:6-12, where Paul strikes Elymas blind for perverting the ways of the Lord, not for an insult. Going the extra mile leads to Rebekah at the well (Genesis 24). Then Matthew 5:43-48: love your enemies and be perfect (complete), with Acts 14, Romans 12:9-21 (heap coals of fire on his head), John 13:34-35 and 1 Corinthians 13, love as a life force. It ends with Elisha feeding the Syrian army (2 Kings 6:8-23, "Fear not") and G. Campbell Morgan on Matthew 5.

Passages in this episode: Matthew 5:38-42 · Luke 22:35-38 · Romans 13:1-10 · Acts 13:6-12 · Genesis 24:1-28 · Acts 14:8-18 · Romans 12:9-21 · John 13:34-35 · 1 Corinthians 12:28-31 · 1 Corinthians 13:1-13 · 2 Kings 6:8-23

Sermon on the Mount Part 10 with Matt Hepner and TopLobsta: insults and the other cheek, the two swords of Luke 22, the extra mile, and love as a life force.

Picking up Matthew 5:38-42 from Part 9, Matt says the other cheek is about insults, not danger: don't meet force with force, and ask what the other person is going through. He reads Luke 22:35-38 (the two swords), points to Romans 13 on why order beats anarchy, and reads Acts 13:6-12, where Paul strikes Elymas blind for perverting the ways of the Lord, not for an insult. Going the extra mile leads to Rebekah at the well (Genesis 24). Then Matthew 5:43-48: love your enemies and be perfect (complete), with Acts 14, Romans 12:9-21 (heap coals of fire on his head), John 13:34-35 and 1 Corinthians 13, love as a life force. It ends with Elisha feeding the Syrian army (2 Kings 6:8-23, "Fear not") and G. Campbell Morgan on Matthew 5.

Taking the Lord's name in vain is less about hitting your thumb with a hammer and more like a bride taking her husband's name and dishonoring it (Exodus 20:7; Proverbs 30:8-9). John Bunyan defines vain swearing as a frivolous and wicked calling upon God to witness, so an oath on the Bible, or on anything else, is still more than yes or no. Lying shows you fear man more than God. Then heaven as God's throne (Revelation 21, Genesis 28, John 1), contentment and the love of money (1 Timothy 6), and resist not evil (Matthew 5:38-42): dead to sin, alive unto God (Romans 6).

Then he traces how Jesus fulfilled it: the prophecies of Matthew 1-2, the promise to Abraham 430 years before the law, the law as our schoolmaster (Galatians 3), the middle wall of partition broken down (Ephesians 2), the Passover lamb and communion (Exodus 12, Luke 22, 1 Corinthians 11), the new covenant written on the heart (Jeremiah 31, Hebrews 10), and the two commandments on which hang all the law and the prophets (Matthew 22:34-40).

Jesus saw the multitudes but taught His disciples, and verses 13-16 show why: the small group is God's delivery system to everyone else. Israel was separated from the nations to be "a wise and understanding people" in their sight (Deuteronomy 4:5-9; Leviticus 20:22-26; Deuteronomy 7 and 12), and today that war is spiritual: "the weapons of our warfare are not carnal" (2 Corinthians 10:3-5; Ephesians 6:10-17). When God's people act like the nations, His name is "blasphemed among the Gentiles" (Romans 2:24; Ezekiel 36:16-27).

So Jesus says "Ye are the salt," not "ye have salt." Salt stops the spread of corruption, supplies what people lack and makes life taste better. Light runs from "I am the light of the world" (John 8:12) to John 1, John 3 and "a chosen generation" (1 Peter 2:9). Jesus gives the salt only a warning, so Matt closes on one way it loses its savour: division, as at Corinth (1 Corinthians 1:10; 3:1-9). A city on a hill is made of lights in their own houses.

Questions answered
• What does "salt of the earth" mean? (52:37)
• Why did God separate Israel from the nations? (10:04)
• What are the weapons of our warfare? (25:29)
• What does "Ye are the light of the world" mean? (57:15)

Jesus tells His disciples, "Ye are the salt of the earth" and "the light of the world," and it was never just for them. Sermon on the Mount Pt 5, hosted by Matt Hepner and TopLobsta. Jesus... Sermon on the Mount Pt 5, hosted by Matt Hepner and TopLobsta.

Jesus saw the multitudes but taught His disciples, and verses 13-16 show why: the small group is God's delivery system to everyone else. Israel was separated from the nations to be "a wise and understanding people" in their sight (Deuteronomy 4:5-9; Leviticus 20:22-26; Deuteronomy 7 and 12), and today that war is spiritual: "the weapons of our warfare are not carnal" (2 Corinthians 10:3-5; Ephesians 6:10-17). When God's people act like the nations, His name is "blasphemed among the Gentiles" (Romans 2:24; Ezekiel 36:16-27).

So Jesus says "Ye are the salt," not "ye have salt." Salt stops the spread of corruption, supplies what people lack and makes life taste better. Light runs from "I am the light of the world" (John 8:12) to John 1, John 3 and "a chosen generation" (1 Peter 2:9). Jesus gives the salt only a warning, so Matt closes on one way it loses its savour: division, as at Corinth (1 Corinthians 1:10; 3:1-9). A city on a hill is made of lights in their own houses.

• Why did God separate Israel from the nations? (10:04)
• What are the weapons of our warfare? (25:29)

The last Beatitude is day-one stuff. Matt reads Matthew 5:10-12, where Jesus moves from "blessed are they" to "blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you... for great is your reward in heaven." Jesus told people the cost up front: "which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost" (Luke 14:28).

The early church lived it. The apostles were beaten and departed "rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer shame for his name" (Acts 5:41). James was killed with the sword and Peter slept between two soldiers (Acts 12). Paul and Silas were beaten, and at midnight they "prayed, and sang praises unto God" (Acts 16:25), and the Philippian jailer believed. Peter says "think it not strange concerning the fiery trial" (1 Peter 4:12), and Paul says "all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution" (2 Timothy 3:12).

Also covered: "count it all joy" (James 1:2), the patience of Job (James 5:11), "he that shall endure unto the end" (Matthew 24:13), "tribulation worketh patience" (Romans 5:3), Deuteronomy 8, treasures and rewards in heaven, taking up the cross (Matthew 16:24), the chief rooms (Luke 14), every man's work tried by fire (1 Corinthians 3), and "Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?" (Acts 9:4).

Questions answered
- What does "Blessed are they which are persecuted" mean? (4:09)
- Why did Jesus tell us to count the cost? (6:45)
- How did the early church respond to persecution? (20:13)
- What is the fiery trial in 1 Peter 4? (25:20)

One verse this week. Peace (eirene) is "the tranquil state of a soul assured of its salvation through Christ," and "peacemaker" appears in the Bible only here. Then the passages: "go in peace" (Mark 5:34), your peace coming upon a worthy house (Matthew 10:5-14), "live peaceably with all men" (Romans 12:18), and "follow peace with all men, and holiness" (Hebrews 12:14).

It is always "grace and peace," in that order, because peace is the result of grace (2 Peter 1:2). David wrote "I will bless the LORD at all times" while running for his life before Achish (Psalm 34; 1 Samuel 21:10-15), and the same psalm says "seek peace, and pursue it." But Jesus also said, "I came not to send peace, but a sword" (Matthew 10:34). The children of God are made manifest by love (1 John 3:10-11; John 13:35) and by being led by the Spirit (Romans 8:14).

Questions answered
• What does "blessed are the peacemakers" mean? (1:46)
• Why does the Bible always say "grace and peace" in that order? (20:01)
• How can you have peace when your life is in danger? (30:34)
• Did Jesus come to bring peace or a sword? (52:06)
• How are the children of God made manifest? (1:04:49)
• What makes someone a child of God? (1:22:37)

Verse 6: people who hunger and thirst have a sense of adventure, like Abraham leaving Ur of the Chaldees. The righteousness they want is His, not theirs: "seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness" (Matthew 6:33; Psalm 143; John 6:35; 2 Corinthians 5:21; Philippians 3:9).

Verse 7: "Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy," through the parable of the unforgiving servant (Matthew 18:21-35). Jesus "knew what was in man" (John 2:25) and still thought us worth dying for.

Verse 8: "Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God." It is not the people with letters behind their names who see God. It is the single eye (Matthew 6:22), not closed eyes (Matthew 13:10-17), and "where your treasure is, there will your heart be also" (Matthew 6:21).

• Whose righteousness are we supposed to hunger for? (12:42)
• What does "blessed are the merciful" mean? (50:19)

The start of the Sermon on the Mount study. Jesus saw the multitudes but taught His disciples, a remnant who would carry it to everyone as salt and light (Matthew 5:13-16). The disciples still asked, "wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel?" (Acts 1:6), which Matt compares to Christian nationalism today, but Jesus told Pilate, "My kingdom is not of this world" (John 18:36).

The Beatitudes describe the character of that kingdom's citizens, not a checklist, and "blessed" at its core means happy. After reading Matthew 5:1-12 the episode covers the first three: poor in spirit, they that mourn (James 4:4-10), and the meek, who know they are part of a bigger story. The examples are Abram letting Lot choose (Genesis 13:1-9), David sparing Saul (1 Samuel 24:1-7), and Moses, "very meek" (Numbers 12:3), pleading "blot me... out of thy book" (Exodus 32:32).

Questions answered
• Why did Jesus teach the Sermon on the Mount to His disciples and not the crowd? (0:00)
• Is the kingdom of God a political kingdom? (19:30)
• What does "blessed" mean in the Beatitudes? (23:19)

Support Straight Bible on Patreon: 31fullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/can-gay-people-be-saved-romans-1-and-1-corinthians-6-9-11-straight-bible--71618206 A Straight Bible study, hosted by Matt Hepner and TopLobsta.

After a guest on an earlier episode argued that homosexuals are past the point of repentance, Matt explains why he let him talk, why he disagreed, and why the church plays the long game. They unpack Romans 1: "I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ" (1:16), creation leaves men "without excuse" (1:20), "Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools" (1:22), and "God gave them over to a reprobate mind" (1:28). Matt reads it as mankind as a whole rejecting God, not a verdict on one person.

A tolerant church is nothing new. In Corinth a man had "his father's wife," and Paul said "put away from among yourselves that wicked person" (1 Corinthians 5:1-13). Once the man repented, Paul said "ye ought rather to forgive him, and comfort him" (2 Corinthians 2:7). In Matthew 19 Jesus says "he which made them at the beginning made them male and female."

The only unforgivable sin is blasphemy against the Holy Ghost (Mark 3:20-30; Matthew 12:31), with G. Campbell Morgan's explanation. The answer comes from 1 Corinthians 6:9-11: those who practise these sins "shall not inherit the kingdom of God," but "such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus."

Questions answered
- Are gay people beyond repentance? (5:05)
- Is Romans 1 about individuals or mankind? (14:11)
- What does "gave them over to a reprobate mind" mean? (26:04)
- What does "deliver such an one unto Satan" mean? (36:25)
- Should a repentant church member be restored? (46:05)
- Is homosexuality the unforgivable sin? (1:06:09)
- Can gay people be saved (1 Corinthians 6, Verses 9-11)? (1:11:25)

A Straight Bible study, hosted by Matt Hepner and TopLobsta.

After a guest on an earlier episode argued that homosexuals are past the point of repentance, Matt explains why he let him talk, why he disagreed, and why the church plays the long game. They unpack Romans 1: "I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ" (1:16), creation leaves men "without excuse" (1:20), "Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools" (1:22), and "God gave them over to a reprobate mind" (1:28). Matt reads it as mankind as a whole rejecting God, not a verdict on one person.

A tolerant church is nothing new. In Corinth a man had "his father's wife," and Paul said "put away from among yourselves that wicked person" (1 Corinthians 5:1-13). Once the man repented, Paul said "ye ought rather to forgive him, and comfort him" (2 Corinthians 2:7). In Matthew 19 Jesus says "he which made them at the beginning made them male and female."

The only unforgivable sin is blasphemy against the Holy Ghost (Mark 3:20-30; Matthew 12:31), with G. Campbell Morgan's explanation. The answer comes from 1 Corinthians 6:9-11: those who practise these sins "shall not inherit the kingdom of God," but "such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus."

Questions answered
- Are gay people beyond repentance? (5:05)
- Is Romans 1 about individuals or mankind? (14:11)
- What does "gave them over to a reprobate mind" mean? (26:04)
- What does "deliver such an one unto Satan" mean? (36:25)
- Should a repentant church member be restored? (46:05)
- Is homosexuality the unforgivable sin? (1:06:09)
- Can gay people be saved (1 Corinthians 6, Verses 9-11)? (1:11:25)

Was Jesus a wino? The Pharisees called Him "a man gluttonous, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners" (Matthew 11:19). Jesus ate with publicans and sinners at Levi's house: "They that are whole have no need of the physician, but they that are sick" (Mark 2:17; Luke 5:27-32; Matthew 9:9-13), and "I desired mercy, and not sacrifice" (Hosea 6:6). "The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath" (Mark 2:27), and circumcision was done on the Sabbath (John 7:22-23). When He sent the seventy, He said "eat such things as are set before you" (Luke 10:8).

Romans 14 is the main passage. "Him that is weak in the faith receive ye, but not to doubtful disputations." On days: "One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind" (14:5). "The kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost" (14:17), and "It is good neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine" if it makes a brother stumble (14:21).

Also covered: "All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient" (1 Corinthians 6:12), "commanding to abstain from meats" (1 Timothy 4:1-5), Colossians 2:16-17, the Sabbath days as "a shadow of things to come," Calvin on Hebrews 4, Galatians 3 and the promise to Abraham 430 years before the law, and every man's work tried by fire (1 Corinthians 3).

Questions answered
- Do Christians have to keep the Sabbath? (40:32)
- What does "Let no man judge you in meat, or in drink" mean? (42:29)
- Was Jesus called a winebibber? (18:37)

Our last study in Jude. Verses 20-25 give the solution, and Matt starts with a warning: we win arguments with our lives, not with words. "Building up yourselves on your most holy faith" goes to "Increase our faith" (Luke 17:5-10) and faith as a grain of mustard seed (Matthew 17:14-21).

Praying in the Holy Ghost is more than praying in tongues. The Spirit "maketh intercession for us" (Romans 8:26), your body is His temple (1 Corinthians 6:19-20), the Father gives the Holy Spirit to them that ask (Luke 11:9-13), and the church at Antioch prayed and fasted (Acts 13:1-4). The opposite: "ye do always resist the Holy Ghost" (Acts 7:51).

Then counting the cost (Luke 14:25-33), David at home "at the time when kings go forth to battle" (2 Samuel 11), "keep yourselves in the love of God" beside "him that is able to keep you from falling," and Paul's shipwreck, where God gave him "all them that sail with thee" (Acts 27:24). Who's on your ship?

Verse 16 starts with murmurers. Matt says murmuring in the Bible is "people who know the Lord and yet they still complain": Israel "murmured in their tents" (Psalm 106:25), and Paul warns "Neither murmur ye" (1 Corinthians 10:10).

Walking after their own lusts: "in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves" (2 Timothy 3:1-2), "evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse" (2 Timothy 3:13), itching ears (2 Timothy 4:3), and "every man did that which was right in his own eyes" (Judges 21:25; Proverbs 14:12; Jeremiah 16 and 18; Genesis 2-3).

Verses 17-19: having men's persons in admiration is respect of persons (James 2:1-9). Saul "feared the people" (1 Samuel 15:24), and the chief rulers "loved the praise of men more than the praise of God" (John 12:43). Jude's mockers are Peter's scoffers (2 Peter 3:3), and the answer is "grow in grace" (2 Peter 3:18) and abide in the vine (John 15). Grow or die.

Enoch, "the seventh from Adam," gets only a few verses in the Bible, and they are profound. "By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death," and "without faith it is impossible to please him" (Hebrews 11:5-6). God is "a rewarder of them that diligently seek him": ask, seek, knock (Matthew 7:7), and "It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honour of kings is to search out a matter" (Proverbs 25:2).

"And Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him" (Genesis 5:24). Walking with God means to "walk humbly with thy God" (Micah 6:8), and "Can two walk together, except they be agreed?" (Amos 3:3).

Enoch preached judgment, and so does the New Testament: Jesus is "ordained of God to be the Judge of quick and dead" (Acts 10:42), God "will judge the world in righteousness" (Acts 17:31), and Paul charges Timothy to preach the word before saying "I have fought a good fight" (2 Timothy 4:1-8). The study closes with Paul's farewell to the Ephesian elders (Acts 20:17-38).

Questions answered
• Who was Enoch, the seventh from Adam? (3:06)
• How did Enoch please God? (8:36)
• Why does God hide things? (23:15)
• What does it mean that Enoch walked with God? (38:15)
• What did Enoch prophesy? (50:59)
• Is Jesus the judge in the New Testament? (54:26)

Jude moves from group examples (Israel, the angels, Sodom and Gomorrah) to three individuals. Cain comes first: "By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain" (Hebrews 11:4), then Genesis 4, "Not as Cain, who was of that wicked one" (1 John 3:12), comparing ourselves among ourselves (2 Corinthians 10:12), and Saul, where "to obey is better than sacrifice" (1 Samuel 15:22).

Next, the apostates "ran greedily after the error of Balaam for reward." Matt walks through Balak and Balaam (Numbers 22, 23, 25 and 31), "How shall I curse, whom God hath not cursed?" (Numbers 23:8), the doctrine of Balaam (Revelation 2:14), and "the way of Balaam the son of Bosor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness" (2 Peter 2:15).

Core: Korah's rebellion with two hundred and fifty princes of the assembly (Numbers 16). Matt's summary: "A man of faith sacrifices himself for the good of the people. A man that's an apostate sacrifices the people for the good of himself." The study closes by reading verses 12-13.

Questions answered
• Why was Abel's sacrifice more excellent than Cain's? (10:26)
• What is the way of Cain? (19:18)
• Why is obeying better than sacrifice? (37:46)
• What is the error of Balaam? (47:50)
• What is the doctrine of Balaam in Revelation 2? (1:11:51)
• What is the gainsaying of Core? (1:25:46)

Cain, Balaam and Core are three men who used God for their own gain, and Jude says the apostates follow them. Book of Jude Pt 4, hosted by Matt Hepner and TopLobsta. Jude moves... Book of Jude Pt 4, hosted by Matt Hepner and TopLobsta.

Jude moves from group examples (Israel, the angels, Sodom and Gomorrah) to three individuals. Cain comes first: "By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain" (Hebrews 11:4), then Genesis 4, "Not as Cain, who was of that wicked one" (1 John 3:12), comparing ourselves among ourselves (2 Corinthians 10:12), and Saul, where "to obey is better than sacrifice" (1 Samuel 15:22).

Next, the apostates "ran greedily after the error of Balaam for reward." Matt walks through Balak and Balaam (Numbers 22, 23, 25 and 31), "How shall I curse, whom God hath not cursed?" (Numbers 23:8), the doctrine of Balaam (Revelation 2:14), and "the way of Balaam the son of Bosor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness" (2 Peter 2:15).

Core: Korah's rebellion with two hundred and fifty princes of the assembly (Numbers 16). Matt's summary: "A man of faith sacrifices himself for the good of the people. A man that's an apostate sacrifices the people for the good of himself." The study closes by reading verses 12-13.

Questions answered
• Why was Abel's sacrifice more excellent than Cain's? (10:26)
• What is the way of Cain? (19:18)
• Why is obeying better than sacrifice? (37:46)
• What is the error of Balaam? (47:50)
• What is the doctrine of Balaam in Revelation 2? (1:11:51)
• What is the gainsaying of Core? (1:25:46)

Jude set out to write about the common salvation but stopped to exhort the church to contend for the faith. With Matt's eyes dilated, TopLobsta reads the scripture while Matt explains apostasy, the danger of neglecting so great salvation (Hebrews 2:1-3), the love of money (1 Timothy 6), antichrists who went out from us (1 John 2), Satan's ministers transformed into ministers of righteousness (2 Corinthians 11), the enemies of the cross of Christ (Philippians 3), and the solution: walk in the Spirit and sow to the Spirit (Galatians 5-6).

Stephen's account in Acts 7 shows Moses already knew he was Israel's deliverer and jumped the gun 40 years earlier. Matt shows how God's calls are often subtle: Reinhard Bonnke turning back to knock on George Jeffreys' door, a 16-year-old knocking on a neighbor's door that launched a career, and four lepers at the gate who said, "Why sit we here until we die?" (2 Kings 7). You have been saved and called with a holy calling (2 Timothy 1:9), so how shall we escape if we neglect so great salvation (Hebrews 2:3)? The bush is on fire. Go check it out.
