00:00:00.900 --> 00:00:03.390
This program is made
possible by the giving
2
00:00:03.390 --> 00:00:07.380
of the God called partners
of Renner Ministries.
3
00:00:07.380 --> 00:00:09.390
This is Rick Renner and friend,
4
00:00:09.390 --> 00:00:12.270
I'm glad you've let me come
right to where you are today.
5
00:00:12.270 --> 00:00:14.490
I'm coming to you from my Moscow studio
6
00:00:14.490 --> 00:00:17.670
and today it's not just me.
7
00:00:17.670 --> 00:00:21.090
Today I have a guest joining
me from the United States
8
00:00:21.090 --> 00:00:23.280
and I'm talking about Rabbi Kirt Schneider
9
00:00:23.280 --> 00:00:26.850
who has a marvelous TV
program called - Discovering
10
00:00:26.850 --> 00:00:27.990
the Jewish Jesus.
11
00:00:27.990 --> 00:00:31.800
I've watched him for years and
then in more recent years he
12
00:00:31.800 --> 00:00:33.090
and I and his wife, Cynthia
13
00:00:33.090 --> 00:00:35.160
and Denise, we all became friends.
14
00:00:35.160 --> 00:00:37.440
I love his ministry, I love his character
15
00:00:37.440 --> 00:00:40.110
and I really appreciate his walk with God.
16
00:00:40.110 --> 00:00:43.170
And this week he's teaching on my program
17
00:00:43.170 --> 00:00:44.550 line:15%
Decoding the Torah.
18
00:00:44.550 --> 00:00:47.010 line:15%
It's five parts. It comes
with the study guide.
19
00:00:47.010 --> 00:00:50.610 line:15%
And we're also offering
you this week his book,
20
00:00:50.610 --> 00:00:52.560 line:15%
which is called, Decoding the Torah:
21
00:00:52.560 --> 00:00:55.530 line:15%
Applying Ancient Wisdom in a Modern World.
22
00:00:55.530 --> 00:00:57.030 line:15%
The back of the book says,
23
00:00:57.030 --> 00:00:59.070 line:15%
Unlock the Torah's Hidden Treasures
24
00:00:59.070 --> 00:01:01.080 line:15%
for a Deeper Walk with God.
25
00:01:01.080 --> 00:01:04.800 line:15%
It's so good. But hey,
let's let Rabbi begin
26
00:01:04.800 --> 00:01:08.820 line:15%
to decode the Torah for us right now.
27
00:01:08.820 --> 00:01:12.120
Get ready for a teaching
that feeds your spirit
28
00:01:12.120 --> 00:01:15.660
and your mind where the
word is the anchor in
29
00:01:15.660 --> 00:01:17.640
uncertain times
30
00:01:17.640 --> 00:01:20.940
and doctrine doesn't bend to culture.
31
00:01:20.940 --> 00:01:22.350
We keep it simple,
32
00:01:22.350 --> 00:01:26.940
but dive deep revealing a
truth that strengthens us,
33
00:01:27.810 --> 00:01:29.700
a love that emboldens,
34
00:01:30.840 --> 00:01:32.970
and a mission that touches the world.
35
00:01:35.340 --> 00:01:36.840
Let's join Rick Renner.
36
00:01:38.640 --> 00:01:41.070
Welcome to today's program, my friends,
37
00:01:41.070 --> 00:01:44.790
this is Rick Renner and I
have been waiting for you
38
00:01:44.790 --> 00:01:46.800
and not just me. Today,
39
00:01:46.800 --> 00:01:49.230
it's me and Rabbi Schneider
40
00:01:49.230 --> 00:01:51.450
and I'm so glad that he is with us
41
00:01:51.450 --> 00:01:54.690 line:15%
and we're gonna be talking
to you about his book,
42
00:01:54.690 --> 00:01:56.370 line:15%
Decoding the Torah.
43
00:01:56.370 --> 00:01:57.690 line:15%
The subtitle says,
44
00:01:57.690 --> 00:02:01.230 line:15%
applying Ancient Wisdom in a Modern World.
45
00:02:01.230 --> 00:02:03.900 line:15%
And when this book was
placed into my hands
46
00:02:03.900 --> 00:02:05.910
and it was given to me by Rabbi,
47
00:02:05.910 --> 00:02:08.340
it was like fireworks went
off on the inside of me.
48
00:02:08.340 --> 00:02:09.870
I was so excited.
49
00:02:09.870 --> 00:02:12.390
And when I began to take a
deep dive into this book,
50
00:02:12.390 --> 00:02:14.340
it did not disappoint me.
51
00:02:14.340 --> 00:02:18.510
There is so much in this
book that is feeding my heart
52
00:02:19.440 --> 00:02:22.860
from the 613 laws, which
are contained in the Torah,
53
00:02:22.860 --> 00:02:24.810
but he covers a hundred of them
54
00:02:24.810 --> 00:02:26.910
and he does what I didn't know how to do.
55
00:02:26.910 --> 00:02:29.280
He gives practical application
56
00:02:29.280 --> 00:02:32.640
to my Christian life from these laws
57
00:02:32.640 --> 00:02:33.960
and it is just wonderful.
58
00:02:33.960 --> 00:02:37.470
And Rabbi, I wanna say
welcome to today's program,
59
00:02:37.470 --> 00:02:40.740 line:15%
A blessing to be with you,
brother. You're a pioneer.
60
00:02:40.740 --> 00:02:43.350 line:15%
Well, I've been waiting
to have you on my show
61
00:02:43.350 --> 00:02:46.140 line:15%
and of course you and I
talk by telephone regularly.
62
00:02:46.140 --> 00:02:48.780 line:15%
I'm in Moscow, you're
there in the United States.
63
00:02:48.780 --> 00:02:52.170
Isn't it wonderful that technology allows us to connect?
64
00:02:52.170 --> 00:02:54.000 line:15%
But I wanna tell you friend, Rabbi Schneider
65
00:02:54.000 --> 00:02:55.410 line:15%
is the real deal.
66
00:02:55.410 --> 00:02:57.390 line:15%
He has a program which is called
67
00:02:57.390 --> 00:02:58.890 line:15%
Discovering the Jewish Jesus.
68
00:02:58.890 --> 00:03:01.870 line:15%
But I can tell you this
is a man of principle.
69
00:03:01.870 --> 00:03:04.630 line:15%
This is a man of integrity,
really committed to the word
70
00:03:04.630 --> 00:03:07.180 line:15%
of God and to reaching people for Jesus.
71
00:03:07.180 --> 00:03:09.880
He is a real evangelist.
72
00:03:09.880 --> 00:03:11.560
But Rabbi, I would like to talk
73
00:03:11.560 --> 00:03:15.160
to you about one law in
this book. Is that okay?
74
00:03:15.160 --> 00:03:18.130 line:15%
Absolutely. - And it is the law which is called the
75
00:03:18.130 --> 00:03:21.670 line:15%
Prohibition against Forbidden mixtures.
76
00:03:21.670 --> 00:03:24.460 line:15%
And it's found in Leviticus 19:19.
77
00:03:24.460 --> 00:03:26.740
And it says, you shall keep my statutes.
78
00:03:26.740 --> 00:03:30.310
You shall not let your cattle
breed with a different kind.
79
00:03:30.310 --> 00:03:33.970
You shall not sow your field
with two kinds of seed,
80
00:03:33.970 --> 00:03:37.060
nor shall you wear a garment
of cloth made of two kinds
81
00:03:37.060 --> 00:03:38.200
of material.
82
00:03:38.200 --> 00:03:41.530
And when I read about
this forbidden mixtures,
83
00:03:41.530 --> 00:03:45.160
my mind immediately went
back to the dawn of time
84
00:03:45.160 --> 00:03:47.500
when fallen angels descended into
85
00:03:47.500 --> 00:03:48.640
the atmosphere of the earth.
86
00:03:48.640 --> 00:03:51.730
And I cover this in my book,
which is called Fallen Angels,
87
00:03:51.730 --> 00:03:53.920
Giants, Monsters And the World before the Flood.
88
00:03:53.920 --> 00:03:56.020
And these angels begin
89
00:03:56.020 --> 00:03:58.270
to have sexual relationships with women.
90
00:03:58.270 --> 00:04:01.030
This is all documented,
it's all in my book.
91
00:04:01.030 --> 00:04:03.220
And the women became impregnated
92
00:04:03.220 --> 00:04:06.370
and they began to give birth to monsters,
93
00:04:06.370 --> 00:04:07.870
which were called Nephilim.
94
00:04:07.870 --> 00:04:09.880
And these were the giants
of the Old Testament.
95
00:04:09.880 --> 00:04:12.100
And that's why God had to send the flood.
96
00:04:12.100 --> 00:04:14.110
The Earth was filled with violence
97
00:04:14.110 --> 00:04:17.260
because of a forbidden mixture.
98
00:04:17.260 --> 00:04:20.230
And when I read this, that's
where my mind went to.
99
00:04:20.230 --> 00:04:23.170
But Rabbi, would you please
comment on this particular law,
100
00:04:23.170 --> 00:04:26.770
the prohibition against
forbidden mixtures.
101
00:04:26.770 --> 00:04:29.350
Well, first of all, that is a dead-on application of
102
00:04:29.350 --> 00:04:31.450
what the Lord's instruction is here.
103
00:04:31.450 --> 00:04:35.980
What the Lord is forbidding is
tampering with his creation.
104
00:04:35.980 --> 00:04:39.430
He is calling us to respect the boundaries
105
00:04:39.430 --> 00:04:44.230
that he has set forth as the architect of the created world.
106
00:04:44.230 --> 00:04:45.820
So in this particular law,
107
00:04:45.820 --> 00:04:49.120
the forbidden against different mixtures, he speaks first
108
00:04:49.120 --> 00:04:51.970
of all about cross cross-breeding animals.
109
00:04:51.970 --> 00:04:54.550
So an example of cross-breeding an animal would be
110
00:04:54.550 --> 00:04:55.900
a wolf dog.
111
00:04:55.900 --> 00:04:58.030
When people have taken a wolf and a dog
112
00:04:58.030 --> 00:05:00.545
and bred them to create this new species,
113
00:05:00.545 --> 00:05:01.730
people might, it's something so
114
00:05:01.730 --> 00:05:03.670
Something that God didn't make,
115
00:05:03.670 --> 00:05:05.530
Something that God did not make.
116
00:05:05.530 --> 00:05:08.920
It violates the distinction of the species
117
00:05:08.920 --> 00:05:11.410
and of the distinctions within species
118
00:05:11.410 --> 00:05:13.510
that he built into his created world.
119
00:05:13.510 --> 00:05:15.190
We think that we're maybe just coming up
120
00:05:15.190 --> 00:05:16.990
with something ingenious,
121
00:05:16.990 --> 00:05:21.010
but somehow in his mind
he sees the danger of it.
122
00:05:21.010 --> 00:05:22.930
Even things that we
would think are harmless,
123
00:05:22.930 --> 00:05:26.830
like mixing two plants together like a tom toto,
124
00:05:26.830 --> 00:05:29.350
which is growing both a tomato
125
00:05:29.350 --> 00:05:32.350
and a potato from the same plant.
126
00:05:32.350 --> 00:05:34.450
We think this is okay, it's just science,
127
00:05:34.450 --> 00:05:35.590
it's just evolution.
128
00:05:35.590 --> 00:05:37.630
But God is saying - No, I don't want you
129
00:05:37.630 --> 00:05:40.330
to mix species together.
130
00:05:40.330 --> 00:05:44.830
Even something that is hard
to understand is the forbidden
131
00:05:44.830 --> 00:05:48.760
command to not wear a
garment made of both wool
132
00:05:48.760 --> 00:05:50.830
and linen together.
133
00:05:50.830 --> 00:05:53.470
Now, why would the Lord
not want his people
134
00:05:53.470 --> 00:05:56.770
to wear a garment made
of both wool and linen?
135
00:05:56.770 --> 00:05:57.980
So a couple answers.
136
00:05:57.980 --> 00:05:59.900
First I'm gonna give you an answer
137
00:05:59.900 --> 00:06:02.480
that comes from one stream of Judaism.
138
00:06:02.480 --> 00:06:04.370
One stream of Judaism says,
139
00:06:04.370 --> 00:06:07.010
concerning not wearing a garment made of wool
140
00:06:07.010 --> 00:06:08.420
and linen together, they're saying,
141
00:06:08.420 --> 00:06:12.860
we don't exactly know why God gave us this law,
142
00:06:12.860 --> 00:06:14.330
but the highest form of love
143
00:06:14.330 --> 00:06:18.110
and devotion is to obey him
even when we don't understand
144
00:06:18.110 --> 00:06:22.820
why He would give us a law
about wearing a garment of
145
00:06:22.820 --> 00:06:23.990
w wool and linen together.
146
00:06:23.990 --> 00:06:25.580
That's one stream of Judaism.
147
00:06:25.580 --> 00:06:28.160
Another stream of Judaism says that was
148
00:06:28.160 --> 00:06:32.690
because some idolatrous nations wore garments,
149
00:06:32.690 --> 00:06:35.540
clothing mixing wool and linen together.
150
00:06:35.540 --> 00:06:38.240
And so the Lord didn't
want his people to dress
151
00:06:38.240 --> 00:06:41.150
or to look like the idolatrous nations.
152
00:06:41.150 --> 00:06:42.260
But the 3rd,
153
00:06:42.260 --> 00:06:46.910
and I think the correct interpretation of this law has
154
00:06:46.910 --> 00:06:51.260
to do once again with tampering with God's creation
155
00:06:51.260 --> 00:06:54.170
and not respecting the distinctives.
156
00:06:54.170 --> 00:06:58.250
It's interesting that
wool comes from an animal,
157
00:06:58.250 --> 00:07:00.650
from from a living being an animal,
158
00:07:00.650 --> 00:07:03.560
but linen comes from a plant.
159
00:07:03.560 --> 00:07:04.730
So mixing wool
160
00:07:04.730 --> 00:07:08.000
and linen together is kind
of mixing the plant kingdom
161
00:07:08.000 --> 00:07:10.160
and the animal kingdom together.
162
00:07:10.160 --> 00:07:12.860
When God wants to His creation
163
00:07:12.860 --> 00:07:14.450
to reflect the order
164
00:07:14.450 --> 00:07:17.120
and the distinction in
which he created it.
165
00:07:18.260 --> 00:07:21.380
What the Lord is calling
us to do is to restrict
166
00:07:22.250 --> 00:07:26.840
our creativity so that we don't go beyond
167
00:07:26.840 --> 00:07:28.340
what he is built into the universe.
168
00:07:28.340 --> 00:07:31.820
Not to tamper with his creation in a way
169
00:07:31.820 --> 00:07:36.290
that can unleash powers like AI, for example,
170
00:07:36.290 --> 00:07:38.900
where man is now trying to create this new form
171
00:07:38.900 --> 00:07:42.110
of intelligence through technology.
172
00:07:42.110 --> 00:07:46.340
And mankind has no idea
that this new creation
173
00:07:46.340 --> 00:07:51.340
through manipulation of God's
created world, man has no idea
174
00:07:51.530 --> 00:07:53.420
what it's about to fall upon the world.
175
00:07:53.420 --> 00:07:55.370
And it's already falling upon the world
176
00:07:55.370 --> 00:07:56.750
through artificial intelligence.
177
00:07:56.750 --> 00:07:58.400
It is so huge, Rick,
178
00:07:58.400 --> 00:08:01.940
and I don't think anybody has any idea
179
00:08:01.940 --> 00:08:04.880
of what's coming even
in the next five years.
180
00:08:06.290 --> 00:08:09.140
You know, if you read
Genesis, it says everything is
181
00:08:09.140 --> 00:08:11.330
to produce after its own kind.
182
00:08:12.170 --> 00:08:14.510
Well that's what's supposed to happen.
183
00:08:14.510 --> 00:08:16.490
But laws can be violated
184
00:08:16.490 --> 00:08:18.950
and today all kinds of
laws are being violated.
185
00:08:18.950 --> 00:08:22.130
And we know that in secret
laboratories around the world,
186
00:08:22.130 --> 00:08:25.460
they're trying to mix
human DNA with pig DNA,
187
00:08:25.460 --> 00:08:29.390
I mean they're just looking
to see what can we do?
188
00:08:29.390 --> 00:08:33.230
And they're really violating
the laws of nature.
189
00:08:33.230 --> 00:08:34.400
And just like in the days
190
00:08:34.400 --> 00:08:37.700 line:15%
before the flood when those fallen angels mixed with women,
191
00:08:37.700 --> 00:08:40.250 line:15%
it unleashed a horrible
thing in the earth.
192
00:08:40.250 --> 00:08:43.820 line:15%
That's why God sent the
flood. He had to clean it up.
193
00:08:43.820 --> 00:08:47.150 line:15%
And today, think about transhumanism.
194
00:08:47.150 --> 00:08:49.670 line:15%
You know, in one sense it's a good idea. If you connect
195
00:08:49.670 --> 00:08:51.860
with a machine, it might
restore your sight.
196
00:08:51.860 --> 00:08:53.810
It may give you the
ability to use your hand
197
00:08:53.810 --> 00:08:55.650
that you haven't been able to use.
198
00:08:55.650 --> 00:08:57.960
But the trans-humanists have a goal
199
00:08:57.960 --> 00:08:59.430
to take it to the next level.
200
00:08:59.430 --> 00:09:03.150
And that is to create a
brand new human species
201
00:09:03.150 --> 00:09:07.710
that is part computer, part technology, part human - Rabbi
202
00:09:07.710 --> 00:09:10.770
where in the world is this going to go?
203
00:09:10.770 --> 00:09:13.350
And you can see why
God said don't do this.
204
00:09:13.350 --> 00:09:14.880
Yeah. You know, it's interesting Rick,
205
00:09:14.880 --> 00:09:19.470
in Daniel 12, Daniel gives a very
206
00:09:19.470 --> 00:09:21.780
colorful picture of
207
00:09:21.780 --> 00:09:23.670
what it's gonna look like
at the end of the age.
208
00:09:23.670 --> 00:09:25.290
He talks about the rapture,
209
00:09:25.290 --> 00:09:27.630
he talks about what's gonna
be happening on the earth.
210
00:09:27.630 --> 00:09:29.280
He talks about that
the prophet is gonna be
211
00:09:29.280 --> 00:09:30.870
sealed to the end of the age.
212
00:09:30.870 --> 00:09:33.300
But the last thing he
says in describing the end
213
00:09:33.300 --> 00:09:37.890
of the ages, that knowledge will increase.
214
00:09:37.890 --> 00:09:39.540
It's the information age,
215
00:09:39.540 --> 00:09:41.670
and all these things that
we're describing right now:
216
00:09:41.670 --> 00:09:43.950
transhumanism, AI Intelligence,
217
00:09:43.950 --> 00:09:45.840
this is all wrapped up in knowledge.
218
00:09:45.840 --> 00:09:47.910
It all goes back to the tree
of the knowledge of good
219
00:09:47.910 --> 00:09:52.770
and evil, where Satan tempted
eve with the fact that eating
220
00:09:52.770 --> 00:09:54.990
of this tree would somehow
make her life better, right?
221
00:09:54.990 --> 00:09:57.720
She'd know more, she'd
feel better, et cetera.
222
00:09:57.720 --> 00:09:59.670
The same thing holds
true with these things
223
00:09:59.670 --> 00:10:02.340
that are being offered to humankind today.
224
00:10:02.340 --> 00:10:04.290
How AI's gonna make our lives better.
225
00:10:04.290 --> 00:10:05.640
And we can certainly see
226
00:10:05.640 --> 00:10:08.580
how it does make people's
lives better in some areas.
227
00:10:08.580 --> 00:10:10.680
That's why nothing's
gonna be able to stop it
228
00:10:10.680 --> 00:10:13.860
'cause it's doing so much
good in areas like healthcare,
229
00:10:13.860 --> 00:10:17.520
the development of drugs in
so many ways, AI is helping,
230
00:10:17.520 --> 00:10:19.230
but people don't understand,
231
00:10:19.230 --> 00:10:21.330
at the end of the day, it's Satan's bait
232
00:10:21.330 --> 00:10:23.820
because it's gonna keep people
from being authentically
233
00:10:23.820 --> 00:10:25.290
human anymore.
234
00:10:25.290 --> 00:10:27.210
It's gonna make people passive
235
00:10:27.210 --> 00:10:29.760
because people are gonna
stop relying on themselves
236
00:10:29.760 --> 00:10:31.020
and other human beings
237
00:10:31.020 --> 00:10:32.820
because AI's already beginning
238
00:10:32.820 --> 00:10:35.760
to do the everything
better than we can do it.
239
00:10:35.760 --> 00:10:37.980
And so I'm just telling you,
there is a blanket, this,
240
00:10:37.980 --> 00:10:41.370
this has to do with this law
of mixing things together.
241
00:10:41.370 --> 00:10:45.300
Rather it is tampering with God's creation
242
00:10:45.300 --> 00:10:48.720
and we are living in thick darkness.
243
00:10:48.720 --> 00:10:50.070
And it's just gonna grow heavier.
244
00:10:50.070 --> 00:10:52.320
That's why it's so
important to walk with God
245
00:10:52.320 --> 00:10:55.440
and to know these laws so we
can know how to walk with him
246
00:10:55.440 --> 00:10:58.830
and resist the temptation
and deception of the world.
247
00:10:58.830 --> 00:11:01.530
You know, Rabbi, before
the flood, it was the time
248
00:11:01.530 --> 00:11:02.910
of transgression.
249
00:11:02.910 --> 00:11:04.590
They were transgressing boundaries.
250
00:11:04.590 --> 00:11:07.320
They were transgressing,
spiritual boundaries,
251
00:11:07.320 --> 00:11:09.840
transgressing, biological boundaries.
252
00:11:09.840 --> 00:11:12.570
It was transgression, transgression, transgression:
253
00:11:12.570 --> 00:11:16.110
a deliberate violation of the rules.
254
00:11:16.110 --> 00:11:18.000
I was thinking about that one day.
255
00:11:18.000 --> 00:11:19.860
What is the big word right now?
256
00:11:19.860 --> 00:11:23.580
Trans: transgender, transhumanism,
257
00:11:23.580 --> 00:11:25.650
that word trans is the big word
258
00:11:25.650 --> 00:11:29.580
again, we're living in the age of violation,
259
00:11:29.580 --> 00:11:32.910
but it's being presented almost like when Satan,
260
00:11:32.910 --> 00:11:34.440
the serpent spoke to Eve.
261
00:11:35.520 --> 00:11:38.100
God knows in the day that you eat thereof,
262
00:11:38.100 --> 00:11:39.810
your eyes will be opened.
263
00:11:39.810 --> 00:11:43.950
And people are presenting
all of these trans to us
264
00:11:43.950 --> 00:11:48.090
as a new day, a day of enlightenment.
265
00:11:48.090 --> 00:11:51.960
But this law says that we're not supposed
266
00:11:51.960 --> 00:11:54.760
to mix these things together like this.
267
00:11:54.760 --> 00:11:56.140
Yeah, yeah. In fact,
268
00:11:56.140 --> 00:11:58.150
it's an interesting Rabbinic interpretation
269
00:11:58.150 --> 00:11:58.983
and Judea messianic
270
00:11:58.983 --> 00:12:00.070
colorful
271
00:12:00.070 --> 00:12:01.960
so our audience could
take this as they will,
272
00:12:01.960 --> 00:12:03.340
but it makes a point.
273
00:12:03.340 --> 00:12:06.820
Some of the ancient Rabbis
taught that mixing wool
274
00:12:06.820 --> 00:12:10.330
and linen together, in other
words, cross-breeding the,
275
00:12:10.330 --> 00:12:12.670
the distinctions that
got built into the world
276
00:12:12.670 --> 00:12:15.460
and trying to blur those
and blend those together.
277
00:12:15.460 --> 00:12:19.120
One Rabbinic interpretation says that it's similar
278
00:12:19.120 --> 00:12:20.770
to releasing when you wear wool
279
00:12:20.770 --> 00:12:23.955
and linen together, it's similar to releasing
280
00:12:23.955 --> 00:12:25.630
the forces of Cain and Abel.
281
00:12:25.630 --> 00:12:29.230
And it's a very, it's a very dangerous thing
282
00:12:29.230 --> 00:12:34.150
to unleash these demonic
spirits through the mixing
283
00:12:34.150 --> 00:12:36.820
of what was designed to be separate.
284
00:12:36.820 --> 00:12:39.940
So again, that's just a, it's
kind of a colorful allegory.
285
00:12:39.940 --> 00:12:43.660
I'm not suggesting that that
is a scientific reality,
286
00:12:43.660 --> 00:12:46.090
that we're unleashing the
forces of Cain and Abel and,
287
00:12:46.090 --> 00:12:47.830
and the spirit of murder, et cetera.
288
00:12:47.830 --> 00:12:49.360
But I am suggesting that we need
289
00:12:49.360 --> 00:12:51.610
to understand what's happening right now
290
00:12:51.610 --> 00:12:55.810
and we need to be mindful about how we're using technology.
291
00:12:55.810 --> 00:12:57.670
It is, as you said, it's trans,
292
00:12:57.670 --> 00:12:59.740
it's trans human intelligence
293
00:12:59.740 --> 00:13:03.130
to rely on artificial intelligence.
294
00:13:03.130 --> 00:13:05.080
And you know, I often think, Rick,
295
00:13:05.080 --> 00:13:07.120
what can I do to escape all this?
296
00:13:07.120 --> 00:13:09.340
Because it just keeps
on getting more and more
297
00:13:09.340 --> 00:13:10.900
and more and more intense.
298
00:13:10.900 --> 00:13:13.540
Our lives keep on getting
busier and busier and busier
299
00:13:13.540 --> 00:13:14.710
and busier and busier.
300
00:13:14.710 --> 00:13:16.630
We're getting sucked in more and more
301
00:13:16.630 --> 00:13:18.970
and more to relying on technology.
302
00:13:18.970 --> 00:13:21.070
And I think, Lord, where
can I go to escape all this?
303
00:13:21.070 --> 00:13:24.430
Is there a place I could just
move to and live in nature
304
00:13:24.430 --> 00:13:26.350
and be disconnected from the internet
305
00:13:26.350 --> 00:13:28.180
and be disconnected from my cell phone
306
00:13:28.180 --> 00:13:29.955
and be disconnected from all of it
307
00:13:29.955 --> 00:13:31.420
and just go back to the farm
308
00:13:31.420 --> 00:13:33.820
and just live in God's natural world?
309
00:13:33.820 --> 00:13:36.130
But you know, I don't - haven't really come up
310
00:13:36.130 --> 00:13:37.990
with a realistic way to do that.
311
00:13:37.990 --> 00:13:41.770
The only answer I know is to
get strong in God's word now,
312
00:13:41.770 --> 00:13:45.010
to recognize what that boundary is in my own life.
313
00:13:45.010 --> 00:13:47.710
For example, how can I use AI?
314
00:13:47.710 --> 00:13:49.840
For example, if I'm researching something
315
00:13:49.840 --> 00:13:53.590
and I have a question, I
can use AI there as a tool.
316
00:13:53.590 --> 00:13:56.260
But if I started anyway crossing that line
317
00:13:56.260 --> 00:14:01.000
and relating to AI as if it's a person, then at
318
00:14:01.000 --> 00:14:03.910
that point I have fallen under a great deception
319
00:14:03.910 --> 00:14:05.920
and I'm being sucked into darkness.
320
00:14:05.920 --> 00:14:07.300
So we just, as God's people need
321
00:14:07.300 --> 00:14:08.920
to be really mindful of this
322
00:14:08.920 --> 00:14:11.200
And we need to make sure
that we are in a company
323
00:14:11.200 --> 00:14:13.000
of sound minded people.
324
00:14:13.000 --> 00:14:14.320
There you go.
We, we need to look at
325
00:14:14.320 --> 00:14:16.660
who are we hanging out with,
who are we fellowshiping with?
326
00:14:16.660 --> 00:14:18.040
Who is influencing us?
327
00:14:18.040 --> 00:14:21.250
And that leads us to the next
law that I want to talk about.
328
00:14:21.250 --> 00:14:25.090 line:15%
And it is the law that says
to not make any covenant
329
00:14:25.090 --> 00:14:27.010 line:15%
with a heathen nation.
330
00:14:27.010 --> 00:14:28.780 line:15%
While this is so powerful.
331
00:14:28.780 --> 00:14:32.230 line:15%
And it's Exodus 23:32-33
332
00:14:32.230 --> 00:14:34.540
and it says, you shall
make no covenant with them
333
00:14:34.540 --> 00:14:36.100
or with their gods.
334
00:14:36.100 --> 00:14:38.020
They shall not live in your land
335
00:14:38.020 --> 00:14:40.480
because they will make you sin against me.
336
00:14:40.480 --> 00:14:42.010
For if you serve their gods,
337
00:14:42.010 --> 00:14:44.620
it will surely be a snare to you.
338
00:14:44.620 --> 00:14:48.580
And you know, Rabbi, when I read this, I thought of so many
339
00:14:48.580 --> 00:14:52.280
examples of people who are snared their friends,
340
00:14:52.280 --> 00:14:54.350
they're snared by a wrong company.
341
00:14:54.350 --> 00:14:57.680
And this is so very important
that we do not make a covenant
342
00:14:57.680 --> 00:15:00.620
with any heathen nation
or heathen peoples.
343
00:15:00.620 --> 00:15:02.300
You wanna comment on that?
344
00:15:02.300 --> 00:15:05.690
Absolutely. So in the original historical context here,
345
00:15:05.690 --> 00:15:08.840
this spoke with Israel covenanting with other nations
346
00:15:08.840 --> 00:15:12.800
to make political alliances
or economic alliances.
347
00:15:12.800 --> 00:15:13.970
And we know that they were judged
348
00:15:13.970 --> 00:15:16.160
and became weak because of that.
349
00:15:16.160 --> 00:15:20.270
It speaks to us today of the
danger of moral relativism
350
00:15:20.270 --> 00:15:23.540
that we accept the values
of the people around with,
351
00:15:23.540 --> 00:15:24.920
as you're suggesting here.
352
00:15:24.920 --> 00:15:28.460
And the result of that as
we lose our distinct calling
353
00:15:28.460 --> 00:15:31.640
as priest in the earth and are made weak
354
00:15:31.640 --> 00:15:35.600
and actually reap the
consequences of a curse
355
00:15:35.600 --> 00:15:38.690
because we have severed our
connection with the Lord.
356
00:15:38.690 --> 00:15:40.850
You know, there's a Hebrew word it's called, kavanaugh
357
00:15:40.850 --> 00:15:42.230
and it means focus.
358
00:15:42.230 --> 00:15:44.240
And if we don't keep our kavanaugh,
359
00:15:44.240 --> 00:15:48.680
if we don't keep our focus
on clinging to God alone
360
00:15:48.680 --> 00:15:52.040
for everything, as opposed
to relying on the world
361
00:15:52.040 --> 00:15:55.570
to meet our needs or relying on some other entity
362
00:15:55.570 --> 00:15:59.030
to keep us strong, if we don't
keep relying on God alone,
363
00:15:59.030 --> 00:16:01.790
what's gonna happen to us as
God's people is the same thing
364
00:16:01.790 --> 00:16:03.230
that happened to Israel when they made
365
00:16:03.230 --> 00:16:05.060
alliances with he the nations.
366
00:16:05.060 --> 00:16:08.240
They were dispersed and lost their place.
367
00:16:08.240 --> 00:16:10.940
There's a Hebrew word that I love, it's called, dvekut
368
00:16:10.940 --> 00:16:12.320
and it means clinging,
369
00:16:13.280 --> 00:16:15.260
clinging. We need to clinging
370
00:16:15.260 --> 00:16:20.180
to God rather than relying on
the world to meet our needs
371
00:16:20.180 --> 00:16:21.500
and to make us strong.
372
00:16:21.500 --> 00:16:23.960
And this is something
that people often do.
373
00:16:23.960 --> 00:16:27.200
They wanna be affirmed,
they wanna be accepted,
374
00:16:27.200 --> 00:16:28.850
they don't wanna stand out.
375
00:16:28.850 --> 00:16:32.750
So rather than just clinging
to God alone to affirm them,
376
00:16:32.750 --> 00:16:34.970
instead what they do is they need to they begin
377
00:16:34.970 --> 00:16:36.920
to subtly make a covenant with
378
00:16:36.920 --> 00:16:39.740
what I'm calling moral relativism.
379
00:16:39.740 --> 00:16:42.770
They begin to compromise their heart
380
00:16:42.770 --> 00:16:45.980
before the Lord: the way they walk, the way they talk,
381
00:16:45.980 --> 00:16:48.890
the choices they make, what they let into their home
382
00:16:48.890 --> 00:16:50.840
'cause remember the verse you just read here says,
383
00:16:50.840 --> 00:16:53.030
they shall not live in your land.
384
00:16:53.030 --> 00:16:55.580
But what if we let into our
land, through the television
385
00:16:55.580 --> 00:16:58.040
and the internet and the,
and the music and the people.
386
00:16:58.040 --> 00:17:01.220
So this is a call to stay separate
387
00:17:01.220 --> 00:17:02.810
and there's a price to be separate
388
00:17:02.810 --> 00:17:04.010
because Jesus said, if you are of the
389
00:17:04.010 --> 00:17:05.390
world, the world would love you.
390
00:17:05.390 --> 00:17:06.710
But I chose you outta the world.
391
00:17:06.710 --> 00:17:07.880
Therefore the world hates you.
392
00:17:07.880 --> 00:17:09.950
We need to stand strong and be separate.
393
00:17:09.950 --> 00:17:11.420
You know, in Acts 17,
394
00:17:11.420 --> 00:17:14.870
it talks about the pollutions of idolatry.
395
00:17:14.870 --> 00:17:17.780
And I love that phrase because idolatry
396
00:17:17.780 --> 00:17:19.190 line:15%
and flirting with idolatry
397
00:17:19.190 --> 00:17:20.480 line:15%
or flirting with the world,
398
00:17:20.480 --> 00:17:23.390 line:15%
let's say, it brings pollution into your life,
399
00:17:23.390 --> 00:17:26.240 line:15%
it brings spiritual filth into your life.
400
00:17:26.240 --> 00:17:27.890 line:15%
And the early church,
401
00:17:27.890 --> 00:17:29.810 line:15%
I mean they were called to be separate.
402
00:17:29.810 --> 00:17:32.510 line:15%
God said, be holy as I am Holy.
403
00:17:32.510 --> 00:17:37.220 line:15%
I've called you out of darkness into a marvelous light.
404
00:17:37.220 --> 00:17:40.070
And we are not supposed to flirt
405
00:17:40.070 --> 00:17:41.660
around the edges of darkness.
406
00:17:41.660 --> 00:17:44.120 line:15%
We're not supposed to do that.
407
00:17:44.120 --> 00:17:47.330 line:15%
And that's the reason I love
this particular law so much.
408
00:17:47.330 --> 00:17:50.220 line:15%
To not make any covenant with
a heathen nation, we need
409
00:17:50.220 --> 00:17:52.890 line:15%
to draw lines, we need to have mercy
410
00:17:52.890 --> 00:17:55.530 line:15%
and compassion for those
that are around us.
411
00:17:55.530 --> 00:17:57.240 line:15%
But we need to determine
what we're gonna do,
412
00:17:57.240 --> 00:18:00.210
what we're not gonna
do, what we can permit,
413
00:18:00.210 --> 00:18:02.190
what we will not permit
414
00:18:02.190 --> 00:18:04.140
because we are God's holy people.
415
00:18:04.140 --> 00:18:07.290
And thank you for writing
this particular law.
416
00:18:07.290 --> 00:18:09.930
Absolutely. I'm thinking
we're practically speaking of
417
00:18:09.930 --> 00:18:11.670
how this might apply to those
418
00:18:11.670 --> 00:18:12.930
that are watching and listening today.
419
00:18:12.930 --> 00:18:14.850
And I'm thinking of
the difficult situation
420
00:18:14.850 --> 00:18:16.305
that parents are in.
421
00:18:16.305 --> 00:18:17.730
Oh yes. And they're
getting ready to send their
422
00:18:17.730 --> 00:18:19.200
kids to school.
423
00:18:19.200 --> 00:18:21.060
And so they're asking themselves,
424
00:18:21.060 --> 00:18:22.650
where do I send my child to school?
425
00:18:22.650 --> 00:18:24.900
And the reality is, as we
know, the vast majority
426
00:18:24.900 --> 00:18:27.870
of public schools today, that's like sending your child
427
00:18:27.870 --> 00:18:30.000
and I'm not trying to put undue pressure on
428
00:18:30.000 --> 00:18:31.140
folks, but this is the truth.
429
00:18:31.140 --> 00:18:32.820
That's like sending your child
430
00:18:32.820 --> 00:18:35.790
to be educated in a heathen nation.
431
00:18:35.790 --> 00:18:38.340
They'll pick up a value system, as everybody knows today,
432
00:18:38.340 --> 00:18:42.060
that's contrary to walking
in alignment with God's word.
433
00:18:42.060 --> 00:18:43.230
So that's something to consider:
434
00:18:43.230 --> 00:18:45.540
where are you sending your kids to be educated?
435
00:18:45.540 --> 00:18:47.040
Are you coming into agreement
436
00:18:47.040 --> 00:18:49.530
or making an alliance with a foreign nation?
437
00:18:49.530 --> 00:18:53.070
The public school systems often are a great example
438
00:18:53.070 --> 00:18:55.260
of making an alliance with a foreign nation
439
00:18:55.260 --> 00:18:56.670
and letting it into our land.
440
00:18:56.670 --> 00:18:59.040
And I'm even thinking of
business relationships:
441
00:18:59.040 --> 00:19:02.010
relationships that people can enter into in businesses
442
00:19:02.010 --> 00:19:04.080
where they're coming into agreement.
443
00:19:04.080 --> 00:19:05.580
Maybe it's even an investment.
444
00:19:05.580 --> 00:19:08.340
Investing in a company
that stands, you know, that
445
00:19:08.340 --> 00:19:12.750
that has an immoral agenda is that immoral agenda.
446
00:19:12.750 --> 00:19:14.250
We just need to be cognizant of the fact
447
00:19:14.250 --> 00:19:16.620
that God is really calling
us to live a a life
448
00:19:16.620 --> 00:19:18.660
that's holy and separate to him.
449
00:19:18.660 --> 00:19:21.210
I appreciate this so very much, Rabbi - thank you
450
00:19:21.210 --> 00:19:22.440
for your stance.
451
00:19:22.440 --> 00:19:25.440
And I know just by our
regular phone conversations,
452
00:19:25.440 --> 00:19:28.200
this is really who you are and
it's really what you believe.
453
00:19:28.200 --> 00:19:29.850
And it's one reason why I'm
454
00:19:29.850 --> 00:19:32.310
so thankful the Lord has connected us.
455
00:19:32.310 --> 00:19:33.780
But you know, I'm thinking also about
456
00:19:33.780 --> 00:19:36.060
what people allow into their homes through television:
457
00:19:36.060 --> 00:19:41.005
filth, smut, pollution, it's a very good word.
458
00:19:41.005 --> 00:19:44.070
And people desensitize themselves.
459
00:19:44.070 --> 00:19:47.820
You know, I have right here a callous on my hand.
460
00:19:47.820 --> 00:19:50.280
When I was a boy and I was learning how to write,
461
00:19:50.280 --> 00:19:52.830
I would press real hard with my pencil
462
00:19:52.830 --> 00:19:54.060
and I formed a callous.
463
00:19:54.060 --> 00:19:56.790
And do you know, to this day, decades
464
00:19:56.790 --> 00:19:59.970
and decades later, I have
no feeling in this part
465
00:19:59.970 --> 00:20:02.430
of my finger because I'm calloused.
466
00:20:02.430 --> 00:20:04.260
And when you watch sin
467
00:20:04.260 --> 00:20:08.130
and you tolerate sin, it
has a callousing effect.
468
00:20:08.130 --> 00:20:10.710
In the beginning, it might
have pained you to see some
469
00:20:10.710 --> 00:20:12.210
of those things, but over a period
470
00:20:12.210 --> 00:20:15.030 line:15%
of time you become desensitized.
471
00:20:15.030 --> 00:20:16.440 line:15%
You become calloused to it,
472
00:20:16.440 --> 00:20:18.960 line:15%
and you lose your spiritual sensitivity.
473
00:20:18.960 --> 00:20:22.770 line:15%
And I've learned that if you
can freely watch things on TV
474
00:20:22.770 --> 00:20:24.570 line:15%
that once grieved you,
475
00:20:24.570 --> 00:20:26.370 line:15%
you're already going the wrong direction.
476
00:20:26.370 --> 00:20:28.470 line:15%
You're callousing your soul.
477
00:20:28.470 --> 00:20:30.270 line:15%
But this has really been good
478
00:20:30.270 --> 00:20:32.610 line:15%
and we're just finishing by
talking about not making any
479
00:20:32.610 --> 00:20:33.930
covenant with the heath, the nation.
480
00:20:33.930 --> 00:20:35.520
There is so much in this
481
00:20:35.520 --> 00:20:38.670
that we haven't even touched,
but we're out of time.
482
00:20:38.670 --> 00:20:39.870
But I'll be back in just a moment
483
00:20:39.870 --> 00:20:42.090
and a Rabbi is gonna
join us again tomorrow.
484
00:20:50.955 --> 00:20:52.540 line:15%
Does God answer all prayers
485
00:20:52.540 --> 00:20:55.000 line:15%
or are there prayers God will not answer?
486
00:20:55.000 --> 00:20:56.770 line:15%
Well, that's a very good question.
487
00:20:56.770 --> 00:21:00.370 line:15%
And we're told in James 4:3,
488
00:21:00.370 --> 00:21:03.190 line:15%
that you can ask amiss. That word
489
00:21:03.190 --> 00:21:04.660 line:15%
amiss in Greek is the word, kakos.
490
00:21:04.660 --> 00:21:07.480
It means to ask poorly or to ask wrongly.
491
00:21:07.480 --> 00:21:09.700
So there's a wrong kind of asking
492
00:21:09.700 --> 00:21:14.170
and God is not required to
answer a prayer that is wrong.
493
00:21:14.170 --> 00:21:16.480
You say, well then what is a prayer that is right?
494
00:21:16.480 --> 00:21:18.970
Well, the answer to that is found at 1 John 5:
495
00:21:18.970 --> 00:21:23.260
14, which says - This is the confidence we have in him
496
00:21:23.260 --> 00:21:26.650
that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us.
497
00:21:26.650 --> 00:21:29.170
And if he hears us, we have the petitions
498
00:21:29.170 --> 00:21:31.000
that we asked of him.
499
00:21:31.000 --> 00:21:34.150
So if we wanna have an answer
from heaven that is positive,
500
00:21:34.150 --> 00:21:35.260
then we have to pray
501
00:21:35.260 --> 00:21:37.210
according to the scriptures.
502
00:21:37.210 --> 00:21:39.190
God is listening for the word of God.
503
00:21:39.190 --> 00:21:42.400
And when we pray the word of God, God says - Hey,
504
00:21:42.400 --> 00:21:44.590
I can respond to that.
505
00:21:44.590 --> 00:21:46.510
And as long as you're
praying the scripture,
506
00:21:46.510 --> 00:21:48.940
you're never going to pray amiss.
507
00:21:50.500 --> 00:21:53.470 line:15%
Are you missing the
deeper meaning of the Torah?

Rabbi Schneider, reveals how the law still speaks
510
00:21:59.920 --> 00:22:02.530
to believers today: not as a burden,
511
00:22:02.530 --> 00:22:06.160 line:15%
but as a guide to holiness and intimacy with God.

This is Rick Renner, and
today I'm in the Tulsa office
532
00:23:13.930 --> 00:23:17.230
and this is another part
of our new TV studio.
533
00:23:17.230 --> 00:23:20.410
This is where Denise
is filming TV programs
534
00:23:20.410 --> 00:23:23.410 line:15%
and how wonderful that now we
have two little studios, one
535
00:23:23.410 --> 00:23:27.550 line:15%
for her and one for me where
we can interview guests
536
00:23:27.550 --> 00:23:28.990 line:15%
who can't come all the way to Russia
537
00:23:28.990 --> 00:23:30.970 line:15%
to be interviewed in our studio there.
538
00:23:30.970 --> 00:23:32.890 line:15%
So when we're in the United States,
539
00:23:32.890 --> 00:23:34.660 line:15%
we can interview them here.
540
00:23:34.660 --> 00:23:38.230 line:15%
And that's what we've been doing all week in this wonderful
541
00:23:38.230 --> 00:23:42.070
facility which God gave us in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
542
00:23:42.070 --> 00:23:44.530
We're so grateful for this building:
543
00:23:44.530 --> 00:23:46.160
it was really a gift from the Lord
544
00:23:46.160 --> 00:23:51.140 line:15%
and it's almost paid for. We've already retired 86%
545
00:23:51.140 --> 00:23:52.880 line:15%
of the debt.
546
00:23:52.880 --> 00:23:55.070 line:15%
We just need to go a
little ways to finish this.
547
00:23:55.070 --> 00:23:58.250 line:15%
We call it the Ministry Expansion Project
548
00:23:58.250 --> 00:24:00.620
because when this is finished, it's going
549
00:24:00.620 --> 00:24:04.070 line:15%
to allow the ministry to really expand financially,
550
00:24:04.070 --> 00:24:06.560 line:15%
to wrap our arms around the whole world
551
00:24:06.560 --> 00:24:09.860 line:15%
where people need the trusted
teaching of the Bible.
552
00:24:09.860 --> 00:24:12.020 line:15%
And we know that's our calling.
553
00:24:12.020 --> 00:24:14.180 line:15%
And if you're a part of
the giving team, I want
554
00:24:14.180 --> 00:24:15.590 line:15%
to say thank you for helping us
555
00:24:15.590 --> 00:24:17.420 line:15%
to retire the debt on this facility
556
00:24:17.420 --> 00:24:19.640 line:15%
and to release those finances.
557
00:24:19.640 --> 00:24:21.350 line:15%
And if you're not a part
of the Giving Team yet,
558
00:24:21.350 --> 00:24:23.870 line:15%
I'm inviting you today to join us,
559
00:24:23.870 --> 00:24:26.780 line:15%
to help us finish this project.
560
00:24:26.780 --> 00:24:30.020 line:15%
Wow, what a shout of victory
we're gonna give to God on
561
00:24:30.020 --> 00:24:31.880 line:15%
that day when it's done.
562
00:24:31.880 --> 00:24:34.610 line:15%
And just think of the people
that are going to be reached.
563
00:24:34.610 --> 00:24:36.800 line:15%
So thank you for being a part
564
00:24:36.800 --> 00:24:38.690 line:15%
of the Ministry Expansion Project.
565
00:24:46.130 --> 00:24:49.550
Well, today we have learned a lot from the Torah: just one
566
00:24:49.550 --> 00:24:53.570
of the laws out of 613 laws in the Torah,
567
00:24:53.570 --> 00:24:58.430
but this one about not making
mixtures that God forbids.
568
00:24:58.430 --> 00:25:00.980
Wow. It has really been insightful
569
00:25:00.980 --> 00:25:04.550
and I think you can see how
much application it has for us
570
00:25:04.550 --> 00:25:07.370
and the day that we're
living in right now.
571
00:25:08.270 --> 00:25:10.790
The reason I asked Rabbi to be with us is
572
00:25:10.790 --> 00:25:14.510
because I believe these insights would be a benefit to you.
573
00:25:14.510 --> 00:25:16.760 line:15%
And that's why I want you to order the series,
574
00:25:16.760 --> 00:25:18.440 line:15%
which is called, Decoding The Torah.
575
00:25:18.440 --> 00:25:20.420 line:15%
It's 5-parts: comes with a study guide,
576
00:25:20.420 --> 00:25:22.760 line:15%
and I want you to be
sure to get Rabbi's book,
577
00:25:22.760 --> 00:25:24.590 line:15%
which is called, Decoding the Torah:
578
00:25:24.590 --> 00:25:28.370 line:15%
Applying Ancient Wisdom in a Modern World.
579
00:25:28.370 --> 00:25:31.220 line:15%
This book is such a
blessing, it's been a benefit
580
00:25:31.220 --> 00:25:33.950 line:15%
to my spiritual life, and
I'm offering it to you
581
00:25:33.950 --> 00:25:36.950 line:15%
because I really believe
it's gonna be a benefit
582
00:25:36.950 --> 00:25:38.120 line:15%
to you as well.
583
00:25:38.120 --> 00:25:41.120 line:15%
He is gonna decode some
things from the Torah
584
00:25:41.120 --> 00:25:43.730 line:15%
that you've never considered,
you've never thought about,
585
00:25:43.730 --> 00:25:46.850 line:15%
and you've never heard
anybody address before.
586
00:25:46.850 --> 00:25:49.070 line:15%
That's what I found when I read this book.
587
00:25:49.070 --> 00:25:51.560 line:15%
And my friend, I really
want you to have it,
588
00:25:51.560 --> 00:25:54.470 line:15%
but you can order all these
things by going online
589
00:25:54.470 --> 00:25:56.570 line:15%
or you can give us a call
590
00:25:56.570 --> 00:25:58.100
and please, when you reach out to us,
591
00:25:58.100 --> 00:25:59.540
let us know how to pray for you.
592
00:25:59.540 --> 00:26:01.130 line:15%
We want to pray for you.
593
00:26:01.130 --> 00:26:03.020 line:15%
You can just call the
number that's on the screen
594
00:26:03.020 --> 00:26:04.790 line:15%
and please write it down and save it.
595
00:26:04.790 --> 00:26:07.970 line:15%
Keep that number nearby so that if you ever need
596
00:26:07.970 --> 00:26:10.340 line:15%
to call somebody for prayer, you have a number you can call.
597
00:26:10.340 --> 00:26:14.630 line:15%
That's us. You can trust us and we will really pray for you.
598
00:26:14.630 --> 00:26:17.660 line:15%
Or if you wish, you can send us an email.
599
00:26:17.660 --> 00:26:20.090 line:15%
But Father, I thank you
in the name of Jesus
600
00:26:20.090 --> 00:26:22.490 line:15%
for the common sense, godly advice
601
00:26:22.490 --> 00:26:25.460 line:15%
we have heard from the Torah, from the lips
602
00:26:25.460 --> 00:26:26.990 line:15%
of Rabbi Schneider today,
603
00:26:26.990 --> 00:26:29.420 line:15%
and I thank you that we're not done yet.
604
00:26:29.420 --> 00:26:31.040 line:15%
And Father, I pray that you will speak
605
00:26:31.040 --> 00:26:34.280 line:15%
to us again tomorrow in Jesus name.
606
00:26:34.280 --> 00:26:36.620
Amen. I'll see you tomorrow.
607
00:26:36.620 --> 00:26:40.670
But remember Ecclesiastes 8:4 says, "Where the word
608
00:26:40.670 --> 00:26:44.070
of a king is, there is power."
609
00:26:44.070 --> 00:26:46.350
If you've never received Jesus as your Savior
610
00:26:46.350 --> 00:26:50.700
and Lord, now is the time for you to experience a new life
611
00:26:50.700 --> 00:26:52.860
Jesus has to give you.
612
00:26:52.860 --> 00:26:56.940
Pray this prayer with me right now - Lord,
613
00:26:56.940 --> 00:27:00.990
I repent of my sin and receive you as my Savior
614
00:27:00.990 --> 00:27:03.930
and Lord. Wash away my sin
615
00:27:03.930 --> 00:27:06.960
and make me completely new.
616
00:27:06.960 --> 00:27:10.770
I thank you that my sin is removed
617
00:27:10.770 --> 00:27:15.770
and Satan no longer has any
right to lay claim on me.
618
00:27:16.320 --> 00:27:20.280
I faithfully promise that
I will serve you as my Lord
619
00:27:20.280 --> 00:27:21.960
for the rest of my life.
620
00:27:22.860 --> 00:27:23.860
Amen.
621
00:27:25.380 --> 00:27:28.080
If you just prayed the
prayer of salvation with us,
622
00:27:28.080 --> 00:27:30.120
