0:01 Welcome to Strange Normals, the after show, where we talk about all the strange stuff that happens in your normal life to give you a biblical understanding of what's going on. In this show, we don't just talk about UFOs, we talk about all kinds of stuff that's going on, because there's lots going on around your world that just isn't exactly what you would expect to see as normal. So, let's break into this tonight, because I don't usually host this. My buddy, Matt, you actually host this. Thanks for coming on tonight. Matt, you're going to be talking about some strange stuff tonight. What do you got for us? Oh, we've got plenty of strange topics, Bradley. It's going to be real exciting. As you can tell from the title, we've got three different topics to go over. But before we dive into those topics, I thought it'd be nice to acknowledge a comment that we received on...
2:42 the last Thursday broadcast's topic. This was about two weeks ago, because you were out of town last week, so we were unable to go live. We had premieres instead. But this was on that, so it's a little late in getting to this question, but I'd like to look at it. So, if we can pull that question up, and I'll take a peek. Absolutely. Let's pull that up right now. Hey, what happened to your head? Oh, you know how it goes. I've got to be the little guy now. I'm drowning here. I'm drowning. The questioner, BelovedHymns7548, asked, Thank you for this program slash information. Please, please respond to the question below. Blessings to each of you. For you, can God's people pray against the enemy of God, human and demonic beings of every type, and all their plans, strongholds, and attacks? Can we not hinder slash stop the stranglehold of Satan and block the demonic enemy?
3:46 Can we not end the game through prayers that only God's plans can be allowed to unfold on humanity? Please respond to this question. Well, we're going to do just that. And I sat down, and I looked over some scripture, and I have four pieces of scripture that I'd like to share. The first two pieces actually come from Isaiah and Ezekiel. And in these chapters that we're going to go over, the first one is for encouragement to the people, and the second one is the rebuke and the warning. of the judgment that is to come so looking at isaiah 48 chapter 40 verse 8 the grass withereth the flower fadeth but the word of our lord or our god shall stand forever and then we look over in ezekiel 26 14 i the lord have spoken it it shall come to pass and i will do it i will not go back neither will i spare neither will i repent according to thy ways and according to thy doings shall they judge thee sayeth the lord god so here we have this dynamic whether god is chastising or he's giving comfort he is saying that his word stands that when he says something he means it and it's it's going to be fulfilled we've had uh people even in our chat bring up the fact that god's not a liar he can't be a liar because when he says something it is the truth and i think that's an interesting concept that we're dealing with a god who has no falsehood so uh knowing that there are going to be bad things that happen the enemy is going to establish these strongholds and they are going to enact plans to a degree now revelation does speak about the time being cut short lest no flesh be saved so maybe this is a general expression of one of those things that are going to take place in the next two or three years and it's possible as you're explaining the story of god and its warnings you don't have to go back into the past you can also explain the blevandius and ecstasy and the and the final word that god is speaking it's the moment of truth which is the time of the power of god the day of the world and the time of the world so now the time of the world is the coming of the world and the time of the world is the time of the world the end of the world and that is right and it's all about the time of the world the past and the present Oh, oh, I want to add real quick.
6:15 Hans says, the screen grid is not showing the Bible verse. Matthew, where's that Bible verse? What was that from? The Bible verse. Oh, I'm just, I'm reading the Bible verses. What? Reading the Bible? No, I didn't post them. I didn't post these ones. Why don't you have slides? Next time. Next time I'll have the slides. But it's all good. Sorry about that, Hans. I know. Sometimes I like to read along, too. I do have some scripture that I screenshotted for later in the program. We got lots of slides. So, yeah, this is just beginning. So an example of some of the prayers that you could enact, I think, would be, a good example would be Psalm 140. And it's a short psalm, so I'm just going to read through it with you here.
7:06 Deliver me, O Lord, from the evil man. Preserve me from the violent man, which imagine mischiefs in their heart. Continually are they gathered together for war. They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent. Adder's poison is under their lips. Salah. Keep me, O Lord, from the hands of the wicked. Preserve me from the violent man, who have purposed to overthrow my goings. The proud have hit a snare for me and cords. They have spread a net by the wayside. They have set gins for me. Salah. I said unto the Lord, Thou art my God. Hear the voice of my supplication. O Lord, O God, the Lord, the strength of my salvation, Thou hast covered my head in the day of battle. Grant not, O Lord, the desires of the wicked. Further not his wicked device, lest they exalt themselves.
7:56 Salah. As for the head of those that compass about me, let the mischief of their own lips cover them. Let burning coals fall upon them. Let them be cast into the fire, into deep pits, that they rise not up again. Let not an evil speaker be established in the earth. Evil shall hunt the violent man to overthrow him. I know that the Lord will maintain the cause of the afflicted and the right of the poor. Surely the righteous shall give thanks unto thy name. The upright shall dwell in thy presence. So that again was Psalm 140. And I think it's important that we pray in that spirit, where we can pray against the wicked and their devices. And we do pray for God's judgment. You know, God says that he doesn't wish for anyone to perish. He says that everyone should come to repentance.
8:48 But ultimately, there is a free will aspect. And people will exercise their free will against God. And they'll come after him and his people in a destructive way. And I think it's safe to say, Hey, Lord, I pray that they don't succeed in what they're plotting against us. The final piece of scripture that I wanted to share was just from Luke 22. And this is the example. That we find in Jesus. So this is before he is taken in the Garden of Gethsemane. And when he was at the place, he said unto them, Pray that ye enter not into temptation. And he was withdrawn from them about a stone's cast. And he kneeled down and prayed, saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me. Nevertheless, not my will, but thine be done. And there appeared an angel unto him from heaven, strengthening him and being in an agony.
9:39 He prayed more. He prayed more earnestly. And his sweat was, as it were, great drops of blood falling to the ground. So there is... For those just joining, what did they say? Sorry to step on you there. But I just... Because we got a lot of people joining right now. What are we trying to answer here? Right now, we're just answering a comment. A comment that was asked to us. And basically, they were asking if we can pray against the devil and have basically God's plan only come to pass. And I'm trying to offer some reassurance here by saying that God's plan will come to pass. We know that because he has decreed it. And there is no changing it. It's laid out for us in prophecy. And I'm just offering some encouragement in the form of how we can pray, which I think is ultimately for God's will to be done. And we can pray for our safety. And we can pray that they don't have success.
10:29 And that's essentially what I wanted to get at. And I know that person asked earnestly. And I wanted to just give that because I thought I could sit and I could type it out. But I think it'd be nice. I think it'd be nice to maybe use this as a moment to come on air and share some scripture and address the question. So thank you for asking it. And I think that's really good because we want to encourage everyone not only comment on what we're saying, but I think it's fantastic that you're asking questions. You're thinking very deep about these things because it's very important that when you watch this, you don't just watch it and go, hmm, just take them as their word. This is a research group, guys. Who knows what we're going to say next? It might be right. It might be wrong. You've got to know your Bible. Don't just take our word for it. We're researching all this stuff right now and trying to figure out where it's coming from, where it's going, and how does this weird stuff that's happening apply to the Bible.
11:23 So this is to encourage you. Ask questions. Find out if we're right or wrong and prove us with the word of God. Amen. Yeah, I think that I want to see an audience of Bereans, and I want to be a Berean myself. It's not good enough just to have someone say, things that sound nice, it has to align with the word of God. And I think that I will do that as often as I can. I will provide scripture, scriptural backing, and encourage that we do look at these things through a biblical lens because otherwise they're not worth looking at, honestly. It's not worth dwelling on evil things unless we're thinking, how does this factor into God's plan? And ultimately, how does God give us the victory over these things? So with that being said, we're going to jump into the formal topics. And this first image that I'd like for us to look at was actually posted by one of our Discord users.
12:21 They found these Snapple bottles, and they put it in our... Let me pull up his... I want to just get his actual thing. I'll read it. He just said, seeing this at the store this morning, that was from Matthew, the other Matthew. And he posted that for us. Not the apostle? He said, not the apostle. Yeah, that's his name. I don't know. He's from our Discord. Gotta love the thinly-veiled four elements. And I thought, you know what? He's got a good point. And I think we should talk about some of this on this broadcast. So this Snapple elements, this isn't the first time that they've run this particular branding. It actually originated from the 90s. So this image right here, our next image, is the original Snapple elements.
13:12 I used to drink those things. Oh, yeah. I remember this. Is it bringing you back? Oh, yeah. Is it bringing back anyone in the audience? Do you recognize these bottles? Nice little glass bottles, too. Oh, they were. Yeah, not being sold in glass bottles anymore, which is a shame. I do think that there's something to the glass. But yeah, here we see the original. And they're not necessarily the same elements that are on offer today. Earth, rain, and snow. Sun, fire. It's just kind of like it has an elemental feel to it. And even down to the branding itself, it just seems very like a basic thing. You know, Earth appears to be the Earth. Sun appears to be the Sun. Rain is rain. Fire is fire. We get it. It's just Pixar in bottle form. Yeah. Yeah, exactly. Well, it went away.
14:02 And then it had a new iteration after that. And this was the second run that we'll take a look at. They kind of made it more sporty. Oh, wow. Wow. Yeah. So here you still see the names of them. They're being marketed as an energy type of a drink here. But Sub-Zero, right? And Meteor. It's still, again, not necessarily witchy, right? It's not very occultic. I still look at this and I say, okay, yeah, like whatever. The elements that exist out there. There's a periodic table of elements, right? Like I don't necessarily think it's an occultic table. And, you know. The science of chemistry. But, you know, we just have elements. And I'm like, okay, that's okay with that. But now we have the modern day version.
14:51 And let's take a look at the modern day. What you can find on the shelves today. Earth, air, rain, fire. Wait, I thought it was earth. Wait, is that the four elements? I'm trying to think back on my understanding of the fifth element. Well, Brad, let me tell you. It's water is the one that's missing. And I believe that. The reason why it's not Snapple elements water is because if they were advertising it as water, people would probably mistake it just for Snapple water. They wouldn't think it's like a flavored drink. But is it rain water? Rain is technically water. But there's something deeper here, Brad. I don't know if you see it. Do you see it? Because there's something that tells us that rain is actually water. We'll take a look at this next image because that'll shed some light on this situation.
15:40 Air. Okay, we're seeing it now. This is the symbol for air, which I wonder if I actually had the pentagram image. Did you lose that to get lost in translation? Is it before this? Image 06. Yeah, it was before that. No, it's not going back. Weird. Okay, that's fine. Anyway, I took these off of basically there is a cold explanation. Website and they have these symbols and they're mapped out in a pentagram. So we're seeing here. Yes. So I wish we could pull it up. It looks like it's trying to load and it's not loading. Yeah, it's not loading. It doesn't want to load the image. It's a web. We don't need to see it. It's stupid occult nonsense. All right. I'm just using it to show you that it's on the advertising.
16:32 That's the important thing. Right. So this pyramid with a line to the top is air. And if we look at the Snapple bottle and this is taken directly off. Of their website, even that is accentuated in the background of the website is the pyramid with a line through it. So we go to the. And we see Earth again. It's an upside down pyramid with a line through it. Okay. I think I know where you're going with this. We're leading up to something big. So yeah, hold on everyone. You might seen these before, but this is, this is interesting. Next please. Fire. We have the triangle of fire right here on display and then the final one, which is what you. Were talking about is rain, but really it's water. Because if you look here, it's the, uh, the elemental symbol for water is reflected in the, in the advertising.
17:23 You can actually see it on the bottle too. Yeah, it's a, it's on all of the bottles are these symbols and, uh, it's in the backgrounds as well. And it's something that is, uh, it's available. It's like elemental sorcery essentially is what this is referring to. And these symbols all correspond to the different elements. What do you have to say, Brad, what do you think about Snapple elements? Are you rushing out to buy some Snapple elements and drink it down? You know, what do you think? Any good show has the guy that's, uh, the good cop and the bad cop or the, uh, the, the guy that's the believer and the not believer, you know, your Scully and your Mulder, uh, where one believes and one doesn't. I don't have a lot of background in occult stuff, symbolism. So how do we know Matthew? I'm going to challenge you. I'm going to challenge you. I'm going to challenge you for a second. How do we know this is occult stuff? Well, you would know because I had that image where it was the pentagram and it showed that, uh, it was, uh, and I mean, I'm not necessarily encouraging anybody to look into this, but you're welcome to, I mean, uh, it's a, uh, L it's essentially it's elemental witchcraft.
18:36 It's well known enough. Uh, and yeah, you can just look it up. The pentagram, there is a fifth element and the fifth element is spirit and it does, it's kind of, it looks like a Buddha wheel. If we had the image, Brad, I could show you, but, uh, we don't, so I can't, but it kind of looks like a, like a wheel. And, um, yeah, I did. Believe me, I combed through Snapple and I didn't find any wheel advertising, but I think that the element of spirit, maybe it's just in the marketing. Maybe it's an evil spirit that is just pervasive through, uh, all of this. This is kind of a more subliminal. Uh, yeah, like I see Deb in here, she's talking about a subliminal sorcery and that's kind of more of what this is. I don't think the average person would necessarily look at this and think, oh, this is, I'm going to buy this like a cult branded drink. It's just, no, it's elements, you know, it's similar to those earlier, more innocent ones, but these, you know, you can't deny there's an occult connection.
19:34 And whoever is designing these and, uh, having them put on shelves definitely knows what they're talking about. Cause you just don't. Yeah. Accidentally put these symbols on your bottle and have them perfectly correspond to elemental witchcraft. Hold on, hold on. Keep, keep going. Cause I, I, I'm going to get this, this web P converted to JPEG so we can get this in here. Cause I think that really was what. Was that the issue? You know, I'm going to tie this in because, you know, I'm, I'm not convinced until I see this web P and I just saw it and I was like, oh, okay. I think I know where we're going here. Uh, and, uh, give me a second. Um, keep talking. Yeah, no problem. Well, yeah, like I said, a lot of people have pointed out in, uh, in media, there's nothing that's accidental and even in, in music, there's nothing that's accidental. It goes for anything that human beings really are creating.
20:24 I don't know any time someone's just kind of slapping stuff together and saying, oh yeah, I think this looks all right. We have to look and we have to see what, what are the meaning meanings behind the symbols? What are the meanings behind the words that are at use? Because people do. People do constantly draw from, uh, the occult and they draw from evil powers. This, I will tell you now, the Snapple thing is probably, like I said, the most subliminal, the most, you could call it mild. I don't really think there's anything as, uh, anything that's too mild, but you'll see what I mean as we get a little further into this topic because it kind of goes off the rails. There we go. There you go. Thank you for the filibuster. Uh, that's, that's the, uh, the, the cult symbolism that you're talking about, huh? Yes, I was taken directly from a website of, um, P it was from, was it learn religions.com elemental symbols.
21:21 Yeah. So you can, if you want to learn about religions, you can, it's, uh, under the second section of that. And, uh, it goes into great detail. I mean, it talks about what the, uh, colors are, what planets are associated with these elements, all that type of stuff. If you want to look at that and just have a nod. You know, like I said before, it's just, it's silly, it's whatever, but obviously people take great stock in it. So I, I believe that it's worth knowing about this type of a thing just so that I can look and identify and have that discernment to say, oh, okay. I know what's inspiring this particular, uh, branding. That makes sense. Yeah, that makes sense. Okay. I like it. I like it. Tell me, tell me what's, tell me. Tell me what's next. You have anything else to do with this? Of course.
22:14 Of course I do. Brad. Um, up next, we're going to look at this company that sells cinnamon whiskey, and you've probably seen it at your gas stations or your grocery stores. If we could just pull that up. See, uh, this image right here, of course, it's fireball cinnamon whiskey. They say it tastes like heaven, but it. Burns like hell. Are you kidding me? I mean, that's, that's what it says. And not only that, but it depicts a dragon here. Now you might say that this is like out of a demonic thing or whatever you want in their own, uh, merchandising. They refer to this as the dragon. Sometimes they call it the dragon man, but it is, it is representative of a dragon specifically.
23:03 And I have this little, uh, advertisement. It's a little clip of theirs that I'd like to play. All right. All right. We can do that. Yeah, we can do that. And pay close attention, by the way. I want you to pay close attention. Brad, I want you to do it. Cause I'm going to quiz you first. You're getting a little grilled. Let's do it. But I want. No good. They're epic losing streak. Oh, a kick in the teeth would hurt less, but they probably miss that too. Let's show them that someone here knows how to kick it. With fireball. Okay. All right, so ignite the night with fireball, right? There was something in there and I made a point for our, uh, last broadcast that we did. Was it a devil? Well, uh, there is a little devil.
24:08 There's a little devil on his shoulder. You get that motif, right? There's in, uh, you know, cartoons and whatever depictions, they often have like a little angels on your shoulder, a little devils on your shoulder. And then they whisper options. And you're here, that man doesn't get a little angel. He just gets the devil on their shoulder and the devil encourages him to, you know, order a fireball for everybody. And not only that, it's because they were losing a game. So it's like, oh, you're upset. You're in a bad mood. Cause it wasn't the game. Guess what you're going to do. We're going to drink. And that's the solution to this problem. Everybody's going to be fine. Uh, somehow I don't think it's going to work out too well, but did you there, it was quick, maybe too quick for you to pick up on. And, uh, I don't know. If anybody else. Picked up on this, but fireball has a very interesting property in that it's alcohol percentage.
25:00 So, I mean, everybody knows there, if you buy something with alcohol, it'll tell you the percentage that's of alcohol. Um, that's in there. Well, fireball has one that I hadn't seen before. And I looked and I haven't really seen it since. Can you pull up this, this image and let's just see if we can identify. Yes. This would be the next image. Okay. And it's just a little. Still from the end of the commercial. Now, uh, take a look around, Brad. Do you see the number? Do we see the silly little number? Oh, you kidding me? 33%. 33% alcohol. Okay. Interesting. And I looked, I looked and I couldn't find another alcohol that is sold at 33%. If you, if you know of one, please leave it in.
25:50 The comments, but I went out of my way to look and see where that was. And then of course, 33% comes out to 66 proof. Cause you, oh, that's clever. Okay. All right. I get where you're going. Yeah, they get it all really. They, uh, they put all their favorite numbers right there. So again, that's kind of a little bit of the subliminal aspect of this advertising. It's in your face and then it's, it's also hidden a little bit. Um, but it's still there as I said. Just the number 33 will pop up in the wildest places. And, uh, you know, it has its ties to Freemasonry, but specifically, I think it's because a third of the heavenly host sided with Satan and in mathematical terms, that would be 33.3 repeated. So interesting. You see 33 a lot. That's that actually adds a lot of other questions. Oh, so, so interestingly enough, um, 66% is the reverse of that. And, and we see that a lot of. I mean, it's a reversal in, uh, uh, Satanism for some reason, I mean, just the music in general, people like to reverse, uh, these musics and make them say different things in the background and all this other stuff.
27:03 You've heard of this, right? Matthew. Yes. Yes. Yeah. You're referring to. So all the reversals. So I, I get where you're going from the 33 to the 66. Interesting. Yeah. So we have that and that, that was fireball, but, um, uh, and it's an alcohol of course. It's funny because we have in the, uh, in the chat, uh, Aaliyah, one of our viewers says, so 33, is that a lot of alcohol in it? Sorry. I've never drank alcohol, so I don't know any of this. Well, more power to you. Yeah. 33% is relatively strong. I mean, you have a, like hard liquor is generally classified around six to 40%. So, um, yeah, you can easily, I think slip a little too much fireball in and then you're off the rails, but this is what the Bible has to say. Um. This is the, the scripture that I had as a slide. So we can read along if you'd like, but I think this is one of the strongest condemnations against, uh, the overconsumption of alcohol that I can find anywhere.
28:04 And it comes straight out of Proverbs 23 and this is, uh, Proverbs 23 through 35. Who hath woe, who hath sorrow, who hath contentions, who hath babbling, who hath words without wounds without cause, who hath redness of eyes. They that tarry long at the wine, they that go to seek mixed wine. Look not upon the wine when it is red, when it giveth its color in the cup, when it moveth itself aright. At the last, it biteth like a serpent, it stingeth like an adder. Thine eyes shall behold strange women and thine heart shall utter perverse things. Yea, thou shalt be taken. Sorry. Thou shalt. Uh, be as he that lieth down in the midst of the sea or as he that lieth upon the top of a mast.
28:59 They have stricken me, thou shalt say, and I was not sick. They have beaten me and I felt it not. When shall I awake? I will seek it yet again. We have that, that abusive relationship of all of these terrible things that have happened after a night of drinking. And then the, at the end, their moral as well, I'll seek it again and I'll go after it. Also that beholding. Um, the women talking about that expressly and, um, let me see what verse that was specifically 33. Ironically, thine eyes shall behold strange women and thy heart shall utter perverse things. So we know that a woman prophetically speaking as, uh, the symbol of a woman in the Bible is a religious system. So it's, it's true that when men are, uh, under the influence of alcohol, they're much more likely to indulge. Yeah.
29:50 Yeah. They're more likely to indulge in fornication and, uh, you know, committing adultery, doing things that they shouldn't do, or just lusting after women in general, even if they don't do it. But, um, you see that element of it there, but it's also the, the strange ways of those worship systems that are separate from God, that you, you wouldn't find, uh, God wanting you to do those things. And it says in thine heart shall thou the shall utter perverse things. And Jesus was very specific about it. Is that which comes out of a man that defiles him? So this, like I said, this is such a strong warning, uh, about alcohol abuse. And really, I mean, anyone who has that in their life and they, they are a Christian of any sort, bring this verse to them. There are other verses you could do, but I think that this is a very, very strong convicting piece of scripture against that.
30:42 It is. And there might be someone that struggles with alcoholism in their chat here and it's just that, or watching the video. And if that's you, we, uh, we're not condemning you, but we're saying, hey, get out, get it out of your life. It's, it's, it, it ruins lives. It really does. It's ruined even my family. Uh, not my immediate family, but it's in my family as well. And I, I think, um, it's, it's very important that, uh, we take a strong look and a strong stance on this because not, although yes, it's in the Bible, yes, it can be used for pain relief and stuff like that. That's, that's all biblical. There are better methods today. And, um. Uh, there that are less addictive or maybe if they are addictive, at least they can be controlled. Anyway, I'm, I'm monologuing on over you, uh, Matthew, but I think it's, it's a very important topic.
31:31 Thank you. No, that's fine. I wanted your two cents, so I appreciate it. Yeah. Obviously we, we, uh, we don't want to, to do that to ourselves. Hey, before, before we move on to the next thing that you got, I want to ask everyone hit that like button. We got 50 likes and 109 viewers right now. Uh. We need more likes. We need subscribers. So hit that subscribe button. If you are watching this and you haven't subscribed already, we got lots coming this Sunday. You're going to want to know when we start because we're going to be starting some really interesting stuff about what's the current events of what's going on with the natural topic we talk about all the time. But a little commercial break there. Thank you so much for tuning in, hit that like button, hit that subscribe button. We'll see you Sunday as well. We're not leaving yet. We got a full show left. Matthew, let's continue. Matthew. We're going to the, you froze up for this.
32:24 I'm here. Don't worry about it. We've just got to keep going, man. Don't don't freak out about it. We're going to move on to our last product. And this one I think is the most slap you in the face with a cult satanic stuff that you can possibly get. And ironically, I would say it's like the opposite of, of liquor. Oh, I knew it. It is. It's fascinating. All right. Ready. Were you ready for this? Yeah. Let's see the image at least. All right. I have an image of it first. Introduce it. It's called liquid death. Liquid death. Yeah. I've seen liquid death. I've seen it. Um, when checking out in the stores and the, uh, it started making its ways into the fridges. Actually the first time I saw it, ironically enough in park and this kid was having a birthday party and the dad was drinking liquid death and I thought it's kind of weird that that's like drinking.
33:20 He's drinking a lot of beer and they're like tall cans too. So it's like, is this dad just like getting wasted at his kid's birthday party? And then I saw it in the store and I said, oh, it's water. I had no idea. Cause just based off of the look of it, I, I could have a weird, uh, weird beer and yeah, maybe some people have, have seen this already because they are kind of notorious at this point. But I, I mentioned it to my wife and she didn't know anything about it. And I was like, how do you not know anything about it? Okay. I haven't heard. So it's worth talking about, uh, but this is an advertisement from them. And now I just want to tell you as a heads up, uh, this, we have edited this advertisement because we don't want to give a platform to what is going on here. So if you're not hearing, uh, her speaking anything, it's not, you don't have an issue with your audio. We don't have an issue on our side. This is purposeful. We have, uh, edited out that speaking. However, there are subtitles. If you want to see what is being spoken. Really, uh, totally wild stuff, but this is an advertisement for liquid death.
34:24 The water. Yeah. And, uh, I'm, I'm going to go ahead and push the button on this and we've already, I've already seen this cause I had to edit the audio. We've left the background music in, but the person talking, saying incantations and whatever else, we've taken that out through the power of AI. Well, don't spoil it. Oh, well, I just, I just want to tell them. And I also want to give a, uh, I want to give a, uh, a thanks to, before we get into it. Oh, yeah. Thank you. See, I clicked the button and my wife clicked the button too. She's helping me right now, uh, run the, uh, run the stream. So she's clicking back and forth our, our stream for a little extra production. I want to give a shout out to her and say, Hey, watch this clip. This is something I had never seen it before. Here. I'll bring it up right now. Have you ever heard of a real witch summoning demons and trapping them inside cans of water inside this very warehouse sits the entire inventory of liquid death mountain water.
35:19 Each can. It's got to be infused with real demons by a real witch. A lot of what I practice can be considered traditional witchcraft. What you're about to witness is very real, very dangerous. And in my opinion, a terrible idea. Yeah. So right now she's saying the words at the bottom of the screen, we've taken out her audio. You can read it for yourself. Right. So this is what they're doing to, uh, to advertise their product. So as you saw, like a funny little dragon kind of encouraging you to get a round of shots. This is, this is where they've gone with their, uh, their advertising.
36:04 Totally. That's crazy. He used liquid death. If you drink it, will you become possessed demon infused liquid death? Oh no. I know someone's out there going, Oh, come on. I mean, who believes in demons and they put it in water. It's just a gimmick. Come on, Matthew and Brad, what's going on here? You guys really believe this stuff? Well, of course there's going to be that, uh, when I was going through, cause we do have more stuff here for liquid death. I was, uh, you know, I was thinking, man, if they see something like that, they're just going to think they're clutching their pearls. That's like, uh, they're just these Christians and they're so easily offended and they're touchy about it. Yeah. You know, they just can't take a joke and we're just trying to be edgy and this is kind of funny.
37:09 Oh, it's not. I mean, it's, um, you have someone who's claiming to be a real witch and for all we know, right? I mean duck in cyberspace somewhere for no reason. Oh, are you back? Oh, I see that. I see that it's happening. Don't worry. I, I, I know there's an issue that, um, yeah, basically I don't think that it's making too big a deal out of this when we look. Yeah. We see them saying, I'm a real witch. I practice real witchcraft, which are C is on whatever, you know, you're just, you're playing with fire, uh, at this point. And it just, you notice at the end of that thing, they said, go to our website to get $1 off of an exorcism, like a coupon.
37:58 Wow. Well, they come up with some really wild marketing, uh, campaigns and we're going to look at those. So this next one here. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. I want to, I want to mention something. I want to mention something before we go out into that because, because I see the, I hear the naysayers. All right. We might have a good audience that, that picks up on this stuff, but, um, for those Christians that really don't know what's going on here, this is interesting because although, I mean, come on, it's just water. What could it possibly do? You're not infusing demons in it. Yeah. I hear that. And we understand that. But at the same time, if you're listening to music, let's just take music. Music is music, right? It's just notes. You put them in a certain order and it sounds cool and interesting. Did you know that there are groups, there are groups, you know, music groups that have satanic priests come in and pray over their album before it gets released so that they can hopefully go viral and hopefully do better.
38:54 And there's something to this. Just like at the tree of knowledge of good and evil, God said, Hey, you can't go beyond this point. There are rules of engagement and if you have a rule set up where you are allowed to attach yourself to this album, to this drink, to this other thing, whatever it might be, we as Christians need to be aware of that and we need to be conscious of that and we need to think, huh, if they really believe this, why don't we really believe that there is something else going on here? I think it's important just to be mindful. I mean, don't be a dork about it, but at the same time, we need to think, let's be careful about what Satan calls his and what we call ours, because he's just as fearful and more so fearful of what we call ours than what we believe is his. We are, as Christians, protected. But let's not test those boundaries. That's all I gotta say. Yeah, let's not test the boundaries. In 1 Thessalonians 5.22, we're instructed to abstain from all appearance of evil and the very peace of God, or the very God of peace sanctify you wholly.
40:12 And I pray, God, your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. So yeah, like this type of a thing where you're actively going after it, I mean, even if it's done in jest, I do think that the Bible has warnings against even doing it. I mean, you're supposed to give an account for every idle word that is spoken. So I mean, if that's not enough to put the fear of God in you, imagine dressing up like a witch. And doing fake incantations. I mean, you're gonna have to answer for that. Why did you do that? Why did you choose to make that happen? So continuing with liquid death, they do involve like these celebrities in their marketing. And here, if we can pull up this image.
41:03 This is from their website. So they're, they're selling these Steve-O all natural voodoo dolls, right? And what happened is Steve-O, who has fallen out of, I don't know, he's kind of got this weird relevance with a certain crowd. Yeah. Who is Steve-O? I keep seeing things about Steve-O, and he sounds like this, and he talks like this, because he's Steve-O. Yeah. What is, what is his, was he in Hollywood or why is he so popular? Well, he was part of a crew, and I'll be using this as his term for a donkey. But they call it, it was Jackass, right? That's the name of their- Oh, he's the Jackass guy. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. So he's been kind of making a bit of a comeback, it seems, because he has his own podcast. And he went on Joe Rogan a couple of times, too, as a guest.
41:53 And I think it just kind of stirred up a little bit. But he's, yeah, basically he's been podcasting out of like a little trailer studio. Yeah. Yeah. And it's, I think it is gaining some type of popularity. But they teamed up with him. This was done like two months ago. So they shaved Steve-O. Yeah. They shaved Steve-O's head, and they took his hair, and then they put him in these voodoo dolls. And they did like a limited run of these voodoo dolls that you can have. And it says, we mass produce plastic-free voodoo dolls that contain Steve-O's real hair. Want to be a part of Steve-O's first supernatural stunt ever? Well, now you can, introducing the Liquid Death all-natural Steve-O voodoo doll. A real witch doctor placed a small pouch of Steve-O's hair inside every doll, so that whatever you do to the doll, Steve-O will actually feel.
42:44 What? And they're very, they like to go on this real witch doctor. We have a real witch with a real ceremony. They emphasize this like actual practitioner of, you know, like occult stuff. But yeah, I mean, this is, apparently people want to own these creepy dolls because they're sold out. You can't get your hands on them. Oh, wow. But. This is not even the worst of the merchandise they had to offer. The worst one that I saw was right here, and this is the next one. There's actually kind of, maybe some people have already seen it. It's I feel like it's a little infamous at this point. I didn't want to play the video because it's gross and they're actually like showing a blood drawn in this one, in that one. But anyway, this was a one very unique limited edition skateboard deck, Liquid Death, the canned water company has collaborated with Tony Hawk to release an exclusive deck.
43:45 The artwork features the, it's the thirst executioner holding the bird skull made famous through the bird man's boards. That's like Tony Hawk's logo is what he's holding up a bird skull. The graphics are set against a blood red background made from a mixture of red paint and Tony Hawk's actual blood. As the website says. It's the Liquid Death Tony Hawk blood skateboard deck is infused with 100% real Tony Hawk. So in that video that I was talking about, and that's a little screen capture from it right there, but they show a doctor come in and they sit him down and they take blood out of him. And then they show him dropping that vial of blood and with paint and mixing it around. And then that paint was used to to paint these boards. So only a 100 were made available and sold at $500 a pop, 100% are. Okay. Sorry. 10% of all funds raised went to the skate park project.
44:42 Oh wow. Yeah. So benevolent, right? Or just 10, 10% is going to a charity or something. Wow. That makes it okay. The tagline at the top of the deck reads murder your thirst. Just like Tony Hawk, Hawk willingly gave a vial of his own blood to the project. When first approached, he laughed and said he loved the idea. According to Andy Pearson, VP of creative during the product launch video, Tony says, liquid death officially owns my soul and my blood too. Apparently he doesn't know what soul means. No, he doesn't. He doesn't know what soul means. Biblically I believe that a soul is the entire being of the person, but you know, maybe he does know that and he knows that he's sold out so heavily for this product placement.
45:32 I don't know how much they paid him to get the vial of his blood, but I would never give a vial of my blood or anyone else's blood to paint skateboards with. And Tony Hawk is a famous skateboarder, right? Yes. He's a, he's a famous skateboarder. He's also a very, uh, he's like the wealthiest skateboarder he's known for. He was a really intelligent guy. I mean, if you watch early interviews with Tony Hawk, he've talked about, yeah, like I'll do this skateboarding thing for four years and then I want to get my master's degree and blah, blah, blah. He was just going to use skateboarding as a means to springboard himself into a more of a professional, uh, But he learned about branding obviously. And he learned that I can sell skateboards and skate merchandise and use my fame to just sustain myself.
46:18 And yeah, he's a, he's a very wealthy guy and he, you know, does very well for himself as a skater, but, and that's another thing too, it kind of appeals to the same market that Steve-O is in. There's a little bit of crossover there because the whole thing that Steve-O's crew, he was involved in, there are a lot of skaters there. And, um, in addition to skateboarding. They would do these like just ridiculous stunts and record them and then put them out alongside them skating as a way to like get people to watch and take note of, uh, their talents skating. So we have that. And you're probably thinking, I mean, I'm looking at our comment section, I see people saying disgusting. Oh, gross. You know, this is, I see the red flags. I see red flags. I see it all. So you're thinking, right? Obviously people are probably disgusted about this. And you're right. Because take a look at this, uh, little screenshot.
47:11 This was a screenshot I took from the Tony Hawk video. They are comments and I just kind of, uh, have them there, but you see people say, you know, he legit just said they own my soul. I can't, this person says, I can remember a time where this wasn't okay. And I'm 20 so I can too. It's, it's changed really fast. The, um, what, what is permissible now is very different from what was permissible 10 years ago, which is crazy because a lot, there was a lot of terrible things 10 years ago. So, uh, but we also have people, obviously Christians, because this person says, remember, these are just the birth pains, not even fully there yet. And right. They are because you know, this really is nothing compared to what's coming on there.
48:05 And look at that over a hundred likes and like even, uh, this person says, and this was just, I scrolled down and these were the first comments I saw. So it's not even people who are, um, really into, uh, into this and, uh, yeah, they met it, have his soul. So I got this other one too, if we can go on to the next, uh, screenshot, hello, hello. Can you hear me? I hear you now. Okay. That's the next screenshot right there. I didn't know if I, oh yeah. Okay. Thank you. Thank you very much. So this was on that, um, the, the witch doing that. This is that video, the first one we saw, but yeah, people are saying after decades of poisoning our food and water supplies, it could only have come down to this.
48:55 Things don't get better. They only get worse. This person is saying, God, forgive them. They know not what they've done. Person saying my spirit is not okay with this. And that's the Holy ghost right there. And then someone says, that's me no longer drinking this. And I bleeped it out as ever again, like this is the, this is a reaction that people are having in the comments. Wait, is this about the skateboard or is this about like liquid death? This is about the demon water. Yeah. Oh, okay. Demon water advertisement. This is that. And then, yeah, you know, uh, it's just people saying, I'll be praying for you. And again, I just scrolled down and these were the first comments I saw. I didn't have to arrange them in any way. I didn't have to like sift for them. This is just the reaction to these marketing stats. But it's very interesting. Because they, you would think, okay, they're getting this type of a feedback. What would you do if this was your company and you, you were getting this kind of feedback, Brad?
49:50 What would I do? I would, you know, I, I, number one wouldn't be, uh, supporting liquid death. I wouldn't be producing Kirkland makes liquid death. No, this is, I'm drinking Kirkland. I was going to say I drink Kirkland now. I've never been a huge, uh, I mean, I've never been a huge, uh, I've never been a huge, uh, I mean, I've never been a huge, uh, I mean, I've never been a huge, uh, I've never been a huge, uh, I don't mind if people do it. I've heard many people are like, well, you know, if, if Walmart supports XYZ, then I'm not going to Walmart anymore. More power to you. Um, I, I, I think this whole world is messed up. If we start canceling everybody, we won't be shopping anywhere. We're going to be in a cave somewhere. But at the same time, if they're overtly doing stuff like this, like liquid death, I mean, come on. That's a Christian. I don't think I would be just, hey wife, let's go buy some liquid death.
50:41 For the kids. Right. It's just not something that we would do. As a Christian. That's your reaction. I'm asking what if you were the company? What if you were CEO of liquid death and you were seeing these comments coming in for your marketing campaign? What would you do? What would the reaction be? You call a meeting and what do you say? What I would do? This is, this is what I would do. I would say, okay, statistically my market might be the US or at least North America primarily because I mean it's in English. I know a lot of the world uses English, but there's a lot of people, a big market in here. And a big market is a Christian market. So what's going on here? Why in the world would they, would I, if I was CEO, be pushing this? Because it doesn't make any statistical sense. Why would you push this if you know your market is primarily Christians?
51:29 That's statistically why it baffles me as a marketer. Right. Well, would you like to know what liquid death did with these comments? Okay. Yeah, sure. Let's figure it out. Let's see. What did they do? Let's see this next image. Right now they're on volume three of liquid death's greatest hates. They took the internet hate comments, turn them into lyrics and release them as songs that you can dance to. Introducing liquid death's greatest hits hates volume three bop to 10 delightful spiteful tracks featuring lyrics written entirely by real internet haters, which took them verbatim and set them the music. Order on, order them limited edition vinyl or stream it today. And they're available on Spotify. You can watch this, but it's like original music that the company has put out, uh, with this. And, and yes, they have mocked Christians directly because the, the premier single off of this album is, and this was obviously someone who was very upset watching it. F Satan F, whoever started this ass. That's like the lead singer. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know.
52:27 I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. That's the lyrics of the song because someone wrote that in the comments, uh, you will get what's coming to you. That is like the lyrics of the song that they released as the single to this album. So they're very aware of the backlash. And unlike you who would have gone in and you would have said, okay, we're alienating Christians. Let's uh, let's do something about this. Let's restructure our branding or at least our advertising for it. They doubled down. They said, no, we're, this is who we are. And we're gonna go with that. And I decided I need to know a little bit about the CEO because he has a heavy hand in this advertising.
53:21 He even appears in some of the commercials. So he's definitely totally on board with it. I went to his Twitter, and I found this image that he posted. And this was an image from 2017. So we're looking at six years ago. This was the original labeling for Liquid Death. And right here, you can see why it's even called Liquid Death. It's made from the deadliest stuff on Earth. And it's 100% bone-chilling spring water. And there's a little inscription on the back that basically talks about how water is often sold to people as a healthy type of a thing to drink. Or it's in yoga commercials and stuff like that. And they say, people try to make water cute, but it's not. Look at the statistics on how many people drown every year. People are killed in storms and floods. Water is dangerous. Water is Liquid Death.
54:14 And this was the original advertising they were running with it. So at first, it wasn't necessarily a totally satanic thing. It was kind of a, I don't know, like you say, humorous observation on water. You know, like you could almost see them sitting around and saying, oh, hey, you know, like everybody tries to make it so cute, but it's really not. You know, and then they kind of opened up into the brand Liquid Death. They made that change, and they changed gears, it seems like, about a year or two later. The branding changed, and we don't see that style anymore. And it's also very innocuous. If you notice, it just seems like a plain label. It doesn't really stand out to you. It could be mixed in with any of the other canned drinks. So this was a tweet from the CEO, and he's responding to some of the controversy that's out there. And I thought this was pretty insightful. You don't seem to have a strong understanding of brand or how to drink.
55:14 You don't seem to have a strong understanding of brand or how to drink. It's a value brand, but few do. The most valuable companies are brand-driven. Red Bull, Monster, Nike. We are number three beverage brand globally on social, and over 350 have gotten Liquid Death tattoos for life. That's brand. Flow is not a brand. So this is Liquid Death saying this? The CEO is Liquid Death? CEO of Liquid Death, Mike Cesario is his name. Well, apparently I don't understand Brand or whatever they're doing to seance this thing in here. I don't know what's going on here because statistically, unless it's just completely sensational, you know, a sensation sometimes makes a huge commercial. We see a lot of sensational commercials that are just called viral. They could just be using sensation to do this.
56:11 It could be something a little more sinister. Or maybe we just don't understand Brand and that's why we're at 10,000 subscribers instead of 100,000 subscribers. I don't know. So I'm confused. Yeah, you answer this. I don't know. Can Satan make you the number three beverage brand on Earth? Can he do that? Can he make you the number one if you worship him? Yeah, that's unfortunate. So we know that the race that this guy is running is going to be the number one. Is not a race that we need to participate in. We really don't have to worry about where we're ranking because even their Red Bull, Red Bull. I mean, if you look at that, it's a winged bull. So you can get into the occult references there of idols that were winged bulls. Monster Energy. I think that's been covered pretty thoroughly. The claw marks look like the Hebrew six, people say. So it's like 666 branded.
57:08 Either way, it's like Unleash the Beast. And it's that whole type of marketing. It's similar to Liquid Death, but Liquid Death takes it to another level. And he's just showing and demonstrating how that type of advertising has put him on top. And he has totally embraced it. And when I saw that, it reminded me of this company. And it's like a marketing company called Qualtrics. And they had a video. I couldn't find the video. I don't know. Maybe it got scrubbed off the internet or something. Because maybe it was like a private kind of event. But this was a tweet for the event. And if you want to know more about that, if you look at it, let's see right here. Qualtrics. Learn how to turn customers into fanatics.
57:53 Employees into ambassadors. Products into obsessions. And brands into religions. Wait, wait. Tell me again. Who is this? Whose Twitter is this? Or whatever. Qualtrics. Qualtrics is a company that specializes in marketing. Okay. And this was. This was basically them advertising a keynote kind of speaking that they were having. They said it's a three-day master class in experience management. So you're going to learn all about how to do these things. But this was the motto of that particular event. And it's funny because right there, like I said, it's in 2018. I don't know for sure if that guy was in attendance. But maybe he was. And maybe he took some of this to heart. Because he mentioned that over 350 people.
58:43 Have sent him pictures of their liquid death tattoos. That's how devoted they are to the brand. They're getting it on their skin for life. That's a fanatic. Right? Wow. Wow. That's an obsession. And not only that. But the brand is a religion. Yeah. That's wild stuff. Really. Well, I think, Matthew, it goes to show that we are essentially spiritual beings. Let me explain what I mean by that. We all have to worship something. We all. I mean, no matter if we don't believe in a God. Or if we believe that there is absolutely. This whole thing is evolution. Like, how crazy that is. You have to be more of a believer in evolution if. I mean, evolution itself is harder to believe than religion and a creator God.
59:30 So, what in the world is happening here? Well, people are believing in something. And they have to attach themselves to something. And believe in something. And so, they are believing absolutely. In the. In this brand and making it their religion. You got to. You got to have a religion. Everyone has a religion. I remember watching one of. I think it was one of Chris Lang's documentaries a long time ago. And he interviewed this guy who was approached to be a part of this group of Satan worshipers. And he said. And the guy, he stopped at a pool house. And he came up and started playing pool with this random stranger. And he says, who do you serve? And he says, myself. And the guy is like, so be it. And that was it. And he had special privilege of some kind then, from then on.
1:00:16 Because they wanted to know, are you serving God? Are you serving yourself? Are you serving some other brand or some other master? We all serve something. That's my point. And so, we're all religious. We're all spiritual beings. I like this correlation that some of the people in the chat are bringing out. James says, brand, mark, seal. And then. And then, Hans says, people in cults get branded. And specifically, there was that NXIVM cult that did brand their members. They had little, like, brands on the back of their necks. So, yeah. It is funny, the double meaning of words. I don't know. I just thought that was a cool observation. But, yeah. It's just, it ties right in with what you're saying. I mean, you're going to be sealed with God's name. Or you're going to have the liquid death branded onto you.
1:01:05 It's your choice. Right? It's up to you. My bet is on God every single time. So, that was just looking at some of the blasphemy, I guess, that's out there in the world. Specifically, in the world of marketing. But, what about in the church? What about in the churches, my friend? We're not done yet, are we? No, we're not done. We're changing gears. But, we're not done. Here we go. So, this was an article. On Not the Bee. God lied to humanity. This has to be the most blasphemous sermon of all time. So, this was another article that was posted to the Discord. And, I had to look through it. And, I was pretty, it's pretty astounding what's being preached here from the pulpit.
1:01:57 So, we know that, you know, the secular world is always going to have this satanic kind of tilt to it. And, we can expect that. We can expect when people claim to be ministers of the gospel and they get up and they give messages that are totally contradictory to the word of God. Let me read through the article. And then, we're going to actually watch a clip. And, when we watch that clip, I know, I know there's going to be red flags in that chat. Because, it's a pretty, it's a pretty wild little sermon. Yeah, and we don't just want red flags in the live chat. We want red flags in the archive chat, too. So, if you want to leave a comment, leave a comment. Hit that like button. We're at, what, 70, 80 probably likes. And, there's over 100 people watching. Come on. Hit that like button.
1:02:45 Oh, we'll get there, Brett. Hit that subscribe button. Have some patience. We're going to get to over 100 likes. I know we are. I know it. Bottom of my heart. So, let's see. So, just a couple of months ago, Not the Bee introduced you to a female preacher in the PCUSA, Presbyterian Church, USA. Named Rebecca Peters. This self-proclaimed pastorics, the latest identity title made up by progressives, donned a Planned Parenthood stole. So, that's like the, I don't know what you would say. That's the stuff that goes over your shoulders if you're giving whatever. Climbed into a pulpit and celebrated her two abortions. What? I can. So, this is the person that we're being introduced to. I can also attest that I felt God's presence with me as I made the decision to end two pregnancies, Peters proclaimed.
1:03:41 And I felt no guilt, no shame, no sin. Author John Knox appropriately calling hers the doctrine of demons, correctly observed. Her God is herself, and that's Satan's game. Wow. Wow. Matthew, the chat has a prize for you. Oh, nice. Looks like we have a super chat. Is that what you're talking about? Yeah. Here. Super chat from Liz Cruz with that $20 says, click the like button, share the message, spread the gospel. It's our blessed mission. Amen. Yeah. Spread the gospel for sure. And not this false gospel that we're about to see is being spread. I mean, to kill a child in the womb, that's really heavy.
1:04:32 I mean, I know that there are people who aren't even religious who have nightmares over it, and they just feel awful guilt. And I do believe that's the spirit moving on them. But this woman is saying, I felt no guilt, no sin. It's almost like, okay, what's happening there? Is there a blaspheming of the spirit taking place? How do you not have any regrets about ending two pregnancies with the death of the child? I would go as far as to say that she probably does, and she's saying that because she does feel. I don't feel anything. Well, why are you mentioning it if you don't feel anything? Why are you even bringing it up? I hope that she does feel something because if she doesn't, that means the Holy Spirit's not working very hard on her anymore. He works hard on everybody.
1:05:22 We'll see. Sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt you. No, no, I made my point. Yeah. People are saying a seared conscience is what's going on. And yeah, I think this could be evidence of that, as we'll read on in the article here, the next part of the article. Oh, that's me. Thank you. Just say, Brad hit the button already. Brad hit the button already. For the sake of Christian sanity and for the sake of not amplifying the blasphemy, it would probably behoove us to just let it go. After all, having abandoned any fidelity to the word of God, PCUSA is the word of God. PCUSA is a denomination flapping in the breeze of relativity, futilely attempting to scratch enough itching ears of the world to stay relevant. The denomination is dying, as does every sect of Christianity that abandons Christ.
1:06:14 And indeed, there are probably only about five to ten people attending Peter's services regularly. But then they make a good point here because sometimes I feel the same way. I mean, it's like, so we don't want to amplify the blasphemy, so we muted out that incantation, right? Mm-hmm. It's like, why would I want to just, yeah, you know what's happening. Here it is. This is what they're doing. But then not the B makes a good point. Oh, I'm sorry, Brad. I was just about to start reading that paragraph. They make a good point, which is, unfortunately, social media changes everything. Blasphemy, once confined within four hollow walls, can now be spread recklessly. It filters its way into the ears, minds, and hearts of those dedicated to diminishing the glory of Christ. And the testimony of his word, it becomes a battering ram, willfully wielded by those who wish to confuse the faithful into believing truth is ambiguous, equivocal, and indefinite.
1:07:12 It connects a phony pastorics to vulnerable souls, which makes a thorough exegetical demolition of the false teaching both prudent and necessity. Mm-hmm. So I think they're right on that. I think they're right on the money. But the Internet has, I mean, just put things that normally would have just been, you never would have heard of them, of course. Now they're in orbit. And it's like, I do think that there's this disproportionate to where the person in their everyday life isn't necessarily getting the attention that they want. But then they go on the Internet, and they have a profile on, like, a website, and they say things there. And because I've got 10,000 followers and my voice is strong, I can say this. And I can make a brand, right, because we've seen it before, boycott the brand.
1:08:02 And they will just panic, and they will cave to my will. So in that same way, we have these pastors who are on the Internet. Normally, you couldn't get people in the door with the type of stuff she's preaching. But if you put it out there, it's going to find its audience, especially with all the algorithms we have today. They're seeking out, who's looking up religious material? Okay, recommend them this sermon. You know? Maybe they're... Maybe they're someone who has an interest, a genuine interest in the gospel message. And then they get a hold of this, what this woman's about to say, which we're about to watch it, by the way. But, man, talk about damaging. Let's watch it. Let's all watch it. I started it too soon. It's fine. No, let's get our flags ready, people. Here we go. People often ask me how I can be a feminist and a Christian. My response is that being a feminist Christian is the only way I can be a Christian.
1:08:55 Okay. I like with folk songs forということで, I like playing along, I like students, and I like musicians and bands. In other words, my patrons. And they're, you know, not only faithful, they're moralists or whatever, but they're funny. And that's the diversity, that's what makes me happy. Beautiful. What makes you happy or what am I good at? I know you want to write about something, and I want to pork around, and I want to everywhere that I go and I want to read about it. I'm glad I was able to get five questions down the road and I'm doing so well. I think I'mается to Gabby thanking me for writing these morning. I think I'm ready to go. And so, this was nesse. Now on episode seven, I'm asking, what is your favorite Christian bible enrollment message, As a feminist theologian, one of the things that gives me joy is reinterpreting texts that have been used to hurt or control people. Because the God that I know is full of light and life, because the God that I know holds me in my grief and walks with me in my pain, I know that the sacred word of God is not a weapon, nor should it ever be used to harm or shame people.
1:09:46 Despite two millennia of misogynistic interpretations of Genesis and Eve, there have always been other ways to read this story. I love the story of Eve in the garden. My second child is named Eve. When we look at it with fresh eyes, it's quite a remarkable story. Have you ever noticed that God lied to Adam and Eve? Wait, what? While the serpent plays the role of the foil here, he's meant to set Eve up for her role as the bringer of wisdom and moral agency to the human community. The setup for this action... The action that she takes is that God lied to her. God told the first couple, You shall not eat of the fruit of the tree that is in the middle of the garden, nor shall you touch it, or you will die. Uh-uh, wrong. God didn't say not to touch it, by the way. For God knows that when you eat of it, your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.
1:10:40 And here we get to the real heart of the story, the verse in which Eve acts on behalf of all humanity. In fact, the moment at which Eve not only exercises her own moral authority, moral agency, but she chooses that very trait that defines our humanity, that knowledge that makes us moral creatures, our ability to know good and evil. So, when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was to be desired to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate. And she also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate. Was he? Was he? This is amazing, Matthew. And I want to acknowledge the chat just before. I see a lot of red flags. Very good. Skidwister, thank you so much for your super chat. You said you two are doing a great service to your viewers tonight.
1:11:42 The subject has to be talked about more. The demonic practices of the old world are rising again, as in the days of Noah. He put in quotes. Yeah, 100%. Exactly. Yeah. Exactly. Yeah, there's nothing new under the sun. So, we will see these age-old pagan practices and understandings coming to light, which is exactly what this woman has done. She talks about how she loves to reinterpret Scripture, and she reinterprets Scripture to say, God is a liar. He set Eve up to fail. That God said not to touch the fruit, which he didn't. There's an important distinction there. There's a lesson to be learned there. And I want to just go on that for just a brief moment. God said not to eat the fruit. He did not say not to touch the fruit. Eve added onto the words of God when she was speaking with the serpent and said, He commanded us not to eat the fruit, not even to touch the fruit, otherwise we would die.
1:12:39 She got a little mixed up. She added something on. God said, don't eat it. So, maybe she just extrapolated and said, well, he said, don't eat it. So, I better not even touch it. It's poisonous to the touch, and I'll die that way. But he never said that. And part of her fall, part of the temptation was she was able to reach out and grasp the fruit and to see that nothing bad happened to her. And then she ate it. Which, if that's what this woman is referring to, that God was a liar, he wasn't. God didn't lie. So, I mean, what is the threefold lie in the garden, right? Because this is, honestly, Genesis 3 is excellent because it's the case, it's laid out before you. You have God and you have Satan. And, let's see, what the devil says is, For God doth know in that day where ye eat thereof. So, he says, first of all, he says, you shall surely not die, prefacing that.
1:13:35 So, first lie, you will die. And they did die. Then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods. No, they definitely were not as gods. Knowing good and evil. We do not know good and evil in the way that was being promised by Satan. Satan is saying we'll have like a total mastery over good and evil and an understanding of it. Yes, we have some experiential knowledge of evil, unfortunately. Unfortunately. But, by no means. Our morality is busted. I mean, we can't tell right from wrong, even today. I mean, none of us are perfect. I think even the most devout follower of God, if you are a sinful being, you're going to have a man. It's going to happen. And, luckily, God is there for us to repent, and there is forgiveness.
1:14:23 But, I just thought that was so disgusting, calling God a liar like that. That's amazing. And I think it's interesting, too, because that's part of the occult belief. It's the reversal, the Gnostic gospel, to make God the bad guy and Satan the good guy, basically. I'm not sure that it's exactly what she was saying, but I think it's interesting. That occultists believe that, absolutely, God was wrong, and Satan is trying to be the good guy here. He's trying to reveal knowledge. What are they saying? There's a certain term they use. He's the knowledge bringer, or something like that. The light bringer. The light bringer, yeah. And so, I shudder to think that either she's reading this stuff and believing it, or, number two, she's being brought this stuff in her mind.
1:15:14 She's bringing this stuff in her dreams, maybe just by a-ha ideas that are placed in her head, spiritually. Boy, I sure hope not. I don't know what church that's a part of, but I sure wouldn't want to be there. Yeah. Well, no matter how those ideas are being delivered to her, obviously it's something she's internalized, and something she believes, and something that she preaches. Yeah. I could probably dig into this woman and see, okay, does she have a Masonic family history? Is she part of the Order of the Eastern Star, which is the female counterpart to Freemasonry? Where has she been? What kind of books does she like? We could go down that trail and really build a case, but we don't have to, because we can judge by the fruits. I mean, look what's coming out of this woman's mouth. And that's why I say, if you're going to preach this message, and in addition to that, you're going to say, I had zero regret or guilt about the abortions that I had.
1:16:09 And to put on the Planned Parenthood logos when you're up at the pulpit, and to just totally embrace that, yeah, there's something seriously, seriously wrong. And yeah, like I said, I don't think I have to do any further research on this woman to figure that out. It's plain as day. So I was looking up Genesis 2 and 3, trying to figure out what God specifically said, because I don't have the whole Bible memorized, unfortunately. I wish I was a James. I wish I was J.N. Andrews or whoever else had the... He did have the whole Bible memorized. People know who J.N. Andrews is. He was an incredible man. But the Bible does say in Genesis 2, this is where it's first given, and the Lord commanded man, saying, Every tree of the garden you may freely eat, but the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day you eat of it you shall surely die.
1:17:04 That's what he said. That's all they said in Genesis 2. I just found out that it said in Genesis 3, 3, God did say... Wait, is this what Eve is saying? Let me see who's saying this real quick. The woman says unto the serpent. Oh, so wait a second. Either she received this later... Oh, support free content. I cannot see the burst now. That's great. Okay, here we go. Okay, she says, But God did say, You must not eat the fruit from the tree that is in the middle of the garden, and you must not touch it, or you will die. But now look at Genesis 2, 17. This is God speaking to Adam and Eve. It starts at 16. And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat, but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil thou shalt not eat of it.
1:18:02 For in the day that thou eatest, thou shalt surely die. That was the first verse I read, yeah. And we can't go beyond Scripture. We can't go beyond what is written. We can't say, Oh, God had a little, like, powwow with Eve off in the corner. It's like, Eve, by the way, I know I said don't eat it. Also, don't touch it. No. I think it's in the Scripture, and it's clear that it's in the Scripture. I mean, these verses are not even ten verses apart. So, like, there you have it. It's like, it reads plainly to me that she had some type of a mix-up in her theology, and that's what's so important. That's why we have to get it right. No matter how many times we have read over a book or a verse or anything like that, we really should be reminding ourselves by going through it. You have, like, gifted with that, and like you were saying, some people do.
1:18:53 That's wonderful. But even then, I believe that man would be making a study of the Word of God by living it out and drawing those verses to his mind and saying, what did God really say? Yeah. And I can imagine, and this is not, this is completely out of, this is a creative, what do they call that when you take, creative, creativity. Creative liberty. Yeah, there we go. Creative liberty. I can imagine she, you know, coming to Adam saying, hey, I have this fruit here, and give it to him. You've already touched it. He said we're going to die. You might as well eat it now, too. I mean, I'm not going to put all the blame on Eve. He ate, he did eat it, too. But at the same time, I think if we don't understand exactly what God says, just like Christ, when he was presented by Satan these temptations, the only way he was able to thwart those temptations was by absolutely knowing exactly what the Word of God says.
1:19:50 If we don't know that, we're sitting ducks for anything they want to inject into it. And I'm speaking to myself, because I had to go look up this verse to make sure I knew exactly what it said. So I'm ashamed. But at the same time, we should know this stuff. We should exactly know exactly what it says so that we are not fooled in the last time. I see in the chat, Wild Rose says, Mixed-up theology, it is blatant blasphemy. I agree. The woman who is preaching is speaking blatant blasphemy. The mixed-up theology I'm referring to is Eve in the Bible had her theology mixed up, because God had given a commandment and she had added on to it in her confusion. People are making great points in the chat, too.
1:20:37 What happened with Adam and Eve could have been derailed at any moment. Satan's plan could have just gone completely out the window if at any time Adam or Eve had just said, God, Father, we're having an issue here. Will you please step in and help us out? We need your advice here. Something seems to be going terribly wrong. This serpent is saying you're a liar. Can you come down and set the record straight? I mean, boom, right there, you're done. But then Eve eats it. Okay, so we go over to Adam. And Adam, he eats it even knowing. It's kind of like a weird pressure thing that he gets into. But what does Adam do after he eats it? Oh, man, Adam does something terrible. He throws Eve under the bus. He says, she did it. It's her fault. She gave me the fruit to eat. And then he takes it a step further and says, Yeah, the woman you gave to me did it.
1:21:28 She did this. So, you know, it's her fault. But really, it's your fault for giving this woman to me. I mean, like the reading of Genesis 3. If you read Genesis 3 and just think, oh, women are terrible. And you're like, what you're saying, a misogynistic reading of Genesis 3? Yes, Eve ate first. Adam ate too. Adam didn't even take accountability for the situation. He needed to man up in that situation and say, I am so sorry for what has happened. I have eaten the fruit. My wife has eaten the fruit. We were deceived by the serpent. But no, he didn't take that way. He didn't take a path of repentance. He got upset. And there's a lot of issues with the falling of our first parents. See what I mean? This is the type of preaching you could do from the pulpit when you just stick to the scriptures and you meditate on them and you have a meaningful relationship with God.
1:22:24 You can draw these conclusions. And you can get some really wonderful spiritual meat out of that chapter. But what she was saying, yeah, it's nothing short of blasphemy. And it was, like I said, I use the word disgusting because genuinely it does disgust me. I find it revolting when people bring that accusation against God and call him a liar. It's really a how dare you type of a moment. But I won't go any further than that. So anything else to add on this? No. Sorry. I have things to add. But I think I just make the, yeah, I'm going to lose friends. I'm just not happy with this woman at all. Anyway. Right. Well, so you notice that on her little pulpit there, maybe you did, maybe you didn't.
1:23:10 It's at protestia, right? So it's like protestia.com. This is the next thing. You're spoiling, Brad. No, I don't know what was going on. This leads into it. Oh, we don't have to watch it. No, we don't have to see her again. Please get her out of here. This is just, I'm making a segue. This is a segue comment. Protestia. That's what I was bringing up. Protestia. Yes. So that's like a Protestant-based website. And if we have this type of blasphemy happening in the Protestant churches, well, would it be interesting if the Catholic Church was saying something similar? Maybe with softer language. Maybe not being so upfront with their blasphemy. But all the same, wouldn't that be interesting? So now please pull up the article. Pull up the article for me, Bradley. This is from the National Catholic Register. And this is an article that was posted yesterday.
1:24:02 Pope Francis calls for paradigm shift in theology for world of today, citing the need to deal with profound cultural transformations. Pope Francis presented his dramatic vision for the future of Catholic theology in a new motu pro perio issued earlier today. So paradigm shift. What's a pro perio? It's just like a, it's like, it's a papal issued statement. It's not, don't worry about it. It's just Latin. It's part of the confusing nature. Nobody speaks Latin. I mean, in the Middle Ages, they were like preaching to people in Latin who were just like lay peasants, you know, and they're, they don't know anything of what's going on. But yeah, they still kind of use that. It's a tradition. So when you went to Mass, did they speak Latin?
1:24:55 No. Did they get away with that with Vatican II? Did that all go away? You can, no, no, you can still attend Latin Mass. As a matter of fact, some really, so I've mentioned before, there's the kind of division in the Catholic Church. If you're more of a conservative Catholic, a traditional Catholic, I mean, I've met people who insist on a Latin Mass. They're like, I am not in Mass unless that is being spoken in Latin. And I feel the Spirit's presence more. This is good. I mean, there are procedures like receiving communion. You're like, there are people who say, oh, wait, you receive communion in your hand because you're supposed to make your hand like into a little throne. Like that's what they say. Like when you're being taught. It's a little throne for the communion wafer. Show me this. You put your dominant hand underneath your least dominant hand. So this would be me, right? So that way I could receive communion into my palm and then I could take it with my dominant hand and put it into my mouth from the priest's hand.
1:25:51 Priest's hand. Priest puts his hand here. Now, and this is something that I would do too. That is frowned upon by conservative Catholics. You're supposed to just extend your tongue and open your mouth and have it directly placed on you so that your hands aren't making contact with that host. It goes right into the mouth and right down. Okay. Because the priest, his hands are consecrated, right? Like you're basically, you're not, you could be dirtying the host. That's a little, that's the side tangent. That's a little tangent there, Brad. But do you have any questions about it? I'm happy to answer it. I have to know something in order to have questions. Tell me more some other time. I don't know. Well, I just thought it was interesting that it's phrased as a paradigm shift because I use the word paradigm.
1:26:41 I really like the word paradigm. It's actually in our about section for Strange Normal. Because a paradigm, and this is the definition, is a typical example or pattern of something, a model. So if we pull up this title of the article. Hit the button, Brad. Hit the button. Hit the button. Hit that button, man. You see right here. Well, this is fine. We'll just start reading. Don't worry. We'll just go into it. Is that the wrong slide? Okay, we'll go back. Yeah, whatever. Yeah, I was just saying that he's calling for a paradigm shift. It's going to be repeated in the article anyway. But so he wants a shift in the model. He wants a shift in the example. He wants a shift in the example. Whatever is the traditional understanding of the gospel theology, it needs to shift. And he's saying that for Catholic theology.
1:27:28 But you'll see in the article he's talking about Christianity as a whole. So let's continue. Pope Francis has called for a paradigm shift in Catholic theology that takes widespread engagement with contemporary science, culture, and people's lived experience as an essential starting point. Got any red flags there? Is that where we're supposed to draw our theology from, folks? Are we supposed to draw our theology from contemporary science, culture, and people's lived experience, whatever that means? Lived experiences. Boy, that draws right straight from everything we talk about on Sunday night. Wow. Oh, it does, right? Citing the need to deal with profound cultural transformations, Pope Francis presented his dramatic vision for the future of Catholic theology in a new moto pro perio issued earlier today, titled Ad Theologium Promoventum, or To Promote Theology.
1:28:35 The document revises the statutes of the Pontifical Academy of Theology, PATH, to make them more suitable for the mission that our time imposes on theology. Wow. Theology can only develop in a culture of dialogue and encounter between different traditions and different knowledge, between different Christian confessions and different religions, openly engaging with everyone, believers and non-believers, the Pope wrote in the Apostolic Letter. So just leave this up and tell me what you think about it. I don't have any words, Matthew. This is something. You don't have any words for this? That's okay. Because, yeah, what the Pope is calling for is nothing more than totally radical. He's saying that because of the cultural transformations we're experiencing, which we've seen, right, even earlier in this broadcast, we're seeing the culture change into a much more occult culture, a much more wicked culture, a secular culture.
1:29:44 He's saying that we're going to have to revamp. He's saying specifically Catholic theology. But notice in his quote, it says, between different Christian confessions and different religions. He's roping in more than just the Catholic Church. He's saying everyone. This is a message of unity. This is what this is. So let me continue reading this article because I think it's really fascinating. If you want to pull up the next part of the article. So I'm still thinking about this. For me to read? Thank you. Fundamentally contextual. Pope Francis wrote that Catholic theology must experience a courageous cultural revolution in order to become a fundamentally contextual theology.
1:30:35 Guided by Christ's incarnation into time and space, this approach to theology must be capable of reading and interpreting the gospel and the conditions in which men and women live daily in different geographical, social, and cultural environments, the Pope wrote. So right there, we're seeing the same thing that that woman was preaching from the pulpit. We need to interpret it. He's not saying reinterpret it, but it is a reinterpretation of the gospel with the conditions of today. It's just like that woman was doing. How can I be a feminist? How can I insert my feminist ideology into Genesis 3? Well, sit down because I'm going to do it for you, right? The Pope has his own agenda too. And it's an agenda of unity. And it's an agenda of bringing people together under his authority.
1:31:24 The Pope contrasted this approach with a theology that is limited to abstractly repurposing formulas and schemes from the past and repeated his longstanding criticism of desk-bound theology. Instead, he emphasized that theological studies must be open to the world, not as a tactical attitude, but as a profound turning point in their method, which he said must be inductive. Pope Francis emphasized that his bottom-up re-envisioning of theology is necessary to better aid the church's evangelizing mission. A synodal, missionary, and outgoing church can only correspond to an outgoing theology, the Pope wrote. Repeatedly, Pope Francis said this dialogical approach can allow theology to broaden the boundaries of scientific reasoning, allowing it to overcome dehumanizing tendencies.
1:32:25 That last part, man, doesn't that just stand out? There's like so much going on in this article. So not only are we going to revamp how people are going to be reading the Bible and recontextualize it, he said that this new dialogical approach, the dialogues he's going to start opening up, will allow theology to broaden the boundaries of scientific reasoning. What have we heard when it comes to this UFO question, right? Yeah. We need to turn to the philosophers, to the psychologists, to the heads of religion to answer the questions. Wow, you like quoted that. How did you do that? That's exactly what the guy said. Yeah. Yeah. And this is what Pope Francis says his new approach is going to allow him to do. It's going to allow him to step into the realm of scientific reasoning with this theology. I mean, that is just crazy.
1:33:18 Mm-hmm. I'm reading through this article, really. Sometimes the Pope says stuff and it makes my jaw drop, not for the right reasons. I'll read the Bible and my jaw will drop. But sometimes I read the stuff coming out of Pope Francis and I'm like, this is so slippery. And it's sent in a way that's not even like, this is not going to make a headline, right? That woman preaching from the pulpit, that blasphemy, that's going to make a headline because it's sensational. It's something that you could just watch and digest. But these types of articles, be on the lookout for them, people, because they just slip right out and they spell it out. They tell you exactly what the Pope Francis is all about and what his mission is. Mm-hmm. So let's just read a little more. Pope Francis said that this pastoral stamp must, which I think is hilarious, by the way, pastoral stamp.
1:34:10 What do we think in chat when we see a stamp? What else can we possibly think about? Something going here? Something going there? Something going here? Yeah. Okay. Must be placed upon all Catholic theology, described as popular theology by starting from the different contexts and concrete situations in which people are inserted and allowing itself to be seriously challenged by reality. Theological reflection can aid in the discernment of the signs of the times. The Pope. Okay. So the Pope is now, he's going to, this is going to help us read the signs of the times even. And we know what's on its way. There's going to be an announcement of Jesus' coming, his second coming. And it's going to be a false coming, second coming. And yeah, I think this is just wild. Go ahead, Brad. Did you want to say something?
1:35:12 We have to read this through the, interpret this. So he's saying we have to interpret this to people's experiences and through the culture of the time. I see UFOs all over this. I see these, and when I say UFOs, I'm not talking about machines in the sky. I'm talking about these orbs that appear and people think are machines, but they're actually spiritual entities. They've come and they've told us where Jesus is appearing. He's going to do it this year at this time. You know, I just experienced someone came to me. I saw a merry apparition. All this stuff is happening right now. And I'm sure he's aware of this. And so he's interpreting this stuff and going, absolutely. We need to, well, Christ is found in these appearances.
1:36:01 And we need to recognize these experiences that are happening. We all need to come together as one so that we can all understand what's happening in a religious sense. That's what's going on right here, folks. So I think that's fascinating. I want to finish the article. Because this last bit is really the real kicker. Maybe did I not include? Maybe? I'm sorry. There may have been one more screenshot that I was going to send to you that doesn't. Let's see. Yeah, no. Okay. There was. I am so sorry. There's one more screenshot that I didn't send to you, which I'll just read it from the article itself, people. Sure. I apologize. That's on me. Because I knew this was in there. So this is the final thing.
1:36:51 Pope Francis also wrote that priority must be given to the knowledge of people's common sense, which he described as a theological source in which many images of God live, often not corresponding to the Christian face of God, only and always love. Do you understand what is being said there? No. Is that going over? It's okay. It went over my head a little bit. Can you explain that? Because I was switching back and forth. I understand. The Pope is saying that there has to be a priority given to the knowledge of people's common sense. Again, we're talking about the experiential stuff that people go through, which he described as a theological source. It's something we can draw the common sense of people. We can draw theology from it in which many images of God live.
1:37:46 Those images often not corresponding to the Christian face of God. Only and always love. The Pope is a new ager. I mean, that's what that's saying. Do you understand? I know that the wording is kind of tricky here. Yeah, it is tricky. But the Pope was saying, he's saying that there are many images of God. First of all, are there many images of God? No. Or is there one true God in the Bible? There's one true God. Yeah, there's one true God. Exactly. He's saying that those many images of God often do not correspond with the Christian faith. They do not correspond with the Christian face of God. So he's saying that the images of God that are found out there contradict with the Christian face of God. Huh. And he's saying only and always love.
1:38:33 Well, it depends on how you find love. We've talked about that on the show, too. Well, the Pope is notorious. He travels around the world. He embraces all the different religions. I mean, he goes and he performs an Amazon service. He goes to an Amazon ceremony and kisses the statue of the fertility goddess Pachamama. He goes to a Native American reserve and he puts on a headdress and suddenly he's Chief Man in White dancing around the stage doing Native American rituals. I mean, he's just bringing together all of the religions. Yeah. And he's saying that what is the true face of God? It's always love. We have to come together. It's just love. God is love. And if the Christian face of God that's being put out contradicts that, well, that's going against what the rest of the world and where the many images of God live.
1:39:30 Yeah. Wow. I wish I had sent that to you in a screenshot because I was like, where is that? That's my kicker. That's my last one. That's my boom. Wow. Because then the article just kind of trails off into all those other schtiff. Yeah. He knows what he's saying. And the article is written a little bit heady, a lot of head knowledge. So I'm glad you were able to decipher that a little bit. Or maybe I'm just getting tired. I'm not sure which. But fantastic. That's very interesting. And this is all stuff that people have found in the Discord, huh? I didn't get to read that one. Yeah. A lot of this did come from the Discord. There were articles and videos that were presented. And thank you to everyone who read that. And who has been contributing.
1:40:16 Because even the stuff that isn't featured directly, I'll go down the rabbit hole. I mean, that's kind of what I do. I like doing the research. I like picking things apart and saying, okay, where does this lead? How is this connected to that? And yeah, everything I see is just pointing more and more to, I mean, I'm seeing the signs of the times playing out right here. This is where we're headed. So I regret to inform everyone. I regret to inform everyone that more blasphemy inbound. But I think we all knew that. Right. Right. Absolute. Absolute. Just looking at the chat real quick. There is a lot of chat going on. We appreciate all y'all being here. James says, means Mother Earth. True royalty. I'm a Pachamama. Yeah. Pachamama.
1:41:07 True royalty says this genius plot from Satan. It's true. I mean, even though Satan is an absolute terrible person, person, personified spirit. You could say person. Yeah. I think person is accurate. He has a personage. He's a being. Right. He's just not a man. Well, yeah, he's not a man. That's funny. The Bible does refer. It says in some portions of the Bible. I talked to Eric about this, by the way. Anyone who's wondering. It says about Satan and it somewhere refers to as a man. And it's like, what is that? Well, I looked it up in the Strong's Concordance, which breaks down words and says what they are. And it is referring to a being. Like the word, the root word of that. Because English is woefully incapable sometimes of describing concepts and ideas that ancient languages actually had a much easier time with.
1:41:53 So. Personage. Yeah. So much progress. Yeah. I think it's fascinating. It really is. And so it's an evil genius plot. It really is. And if God wouldn't stop it early, it would deceive the entire world. Period. That's what the Bible says. So, I mean, I don't have any problems calling it genius. Let's see. Deb, thank you. Great show tonight. Pope on dope. Okay, Hans. Very good. Pope's on something much stronger than dope. The beast gets his power directly from Satan. Yeah. So that's a new level. I don't know any drug on earth that could probably give you some of the highs that guy gets. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
1:42:39 That's all right, man. You got to do some of the highs that guy feels. Very good. Bro. Well, very good, Matthew. This has been very interesting. Very interesting show.

1:46:55 but um this this is you know this is what i do and so this is uh it's important that we continue to spread this message and if you want to be a part of that and help us partner with us that's appreciated nobody has that discord link no one can uh hit the invite button because it's been disabled because this is it's a private community and so the only way in this group is through patreon we don't have like yeah weird occultists coming in just posting random stuff it's just you know everybody who's there has you know believes in the message of the channel and uh there's good fellowship that goes in there even people who have disagreements i've seen disagreement uh disagreements happen and it's always been civil and even if people feel like things got too heated in their disagreements i've seen apologies i've seen really excellent christian examples of a fellowship in our discord and i'm grateful for that that's a blessing it really is uh chase woman says the pope has 33 buttons on his outfit i didn't know that i got i got a lot of papal trivia and i didn't know that i got to look into that that could be uh that'd be interesting if that's the case there is a lot of masonic imagery um that you can find but it's it's freemasonry was established by jesuits so the catholic church had it first i want to do one more push if you guys haven't hit that like button why not go ahead and hit that like button right now um you got over 110 i know but it's always fun to uh see that number go up a little bit and it really pushes that out there in the algorithm because uh the more you interact with youtube the more youtube goes oh oh well people are liking this thing this is good and so every single week you can see where people arebility and i think that's what people are зависing from on the youtube app it doesn't matter how many likes i have here she gets such praises whether it's even good or bad and so um even if you disliked it actually it doesn't work it doesn't matter it just helps us both so if you dislike it or like it great uh i'm glad you're interacting with it this is why i think it's so funny because i get people he's taking he's taking the liquid death approach people he's saying love me or hate me yeah what is the what is the phrase it's funny because i mean people this is my my go-to whenever someone's arguing in in the the comments whether it's on youtube or it's on a post that i'm trying to push on facebook or something like that something i'm promoting i'm i'm always i always interact with it and i was like hey uh talk to me more and if i don't like to talk to them anymore the last thing i'm like talking to them i'm saying this i'm so glad we're talking because the more you interact with me the more it pushes my message forward thank you so much for disliking what i say and arguing with me on this on this uh on these comments here because it's pushing my agenda boy either that shuts it down right there or it uh absolutely uh um surprises them so it's kind of funny either way but thank you continue commenting yeah um i see christine uh laxton says just spent over forty dollars for mcdonald's tonight for three people oh i feel your pain we we were uh running short on time we needed to feed the family so we stopped by chick-fil-a and i'll tell you what if their tenders don't give me a heart attack that receipt is gonna give me a heart attack you know my wife and i have this challenge uh that we give each other if we go out to eat um we try to find and we're like we don't do it often but sometimes we'll go out and grab a taco bell and we're like okay if we go to taco bell we haven't got the victory of the over that yet sorry guys taco bell is a i don't know i don't know i don't know i don't know a treat sometimes for us and we go out there we say okay five bucks we can't go over five bucks and she's like i bet i bet i can get three things for under five bucks all right we'll see if you can you can you can actually get a good meal but it's it's a rare place that you can get i i again who knows what ingredients are in there and what what kind of things are putting in but but um you can get a meal at least in this day and age for under five bucks but it's hard to do that my two children are ridiculous uh the other day we had grandma over and my son just goes we love food because he's just been eating and eating he's just a little uh garbage disposal is what we call him because that kid can put it away i can't i can't have a reasonable amount of any food because if i have a plate of eggs uh they will walk up to me and demand my eggs and i will have like half an egg and if i put like six eggs on my plate the five and a half go to the kids and this is a two-year-old and a one-year-old people i am i'm gonna be destitute
