Foreign.
Speaker BHello, my name is Will Spencer, and welcome to the Will Spencer Podcast.
Speaker BThis is a weekly show where I have deep conversations with authors, leaders and influencers who help us understand our changing world.
Speaker BNew episodes drop every Friday.
Speaker BMy guest today is Spencer Smith, husband, father, fundamentalist, Baptist pastor, and the creative force behind the incredible documentary series Third Adam.
Speaker BNow let me be Mysticism is real.
Speaker BThe occult is real.
Speaker BThe New Age isn't just feel good fluff.
Speaker BWorld religions aren't playing with imaginary friends.
Speaker BThese connect to actual spiritual realities, forces that people can tap into, ally with, and use against others.
Speaker BI can't say it any clearer.
Speaker BYet no matter how many content creators, influencers and authors point this out, many Christians still resist these truths.
Speaker BNow look, I get it.
Speaker BYou can dig too deep into this stuff.
Speaker BThat's one ditch on this road.
Speaker BBut there's another ditch.
Speaker BIgnoring it completely, plugging your ears, covering your eyes and burying your head in the sand.
Speaker BBut just look at the New Testament.
Speaker BSupernatural realities are everywhere.
Speaker BDemons get cast out by the legion.
Speaker BAngels announce risen saviors.
Speaker BSorcerers follow apostles to learn their secrets.
Speaker BGirls become possessed with divining spirits.
Speaker BSome ghouls even say things like Jesus, I know, and Paul I recognize, but who are you?
Speaker BActs, chapter 19, verse 15.
Speaker BDo fallen angels have office meetings?
Speaker BDoes Satan use PowerPoint?
Speaker BHow does that work exactly?
Speaker BBut seriously, if we believe God's word is true, don't we have to accept that supernatural forces exist and interact with us and that we can interact with them?
Speaker BScary thought, right?
Speaker BNobody wants to believe that there might actually be a little devil on their shoulder, especially in our atheist, materialist, rationalist world.
Speaker BBut if we truly believe the Bible, we must face this possibility and much more.
Speaker BI see no reason why it shouldn't be true.
Speaker BIf you're still skeptical, that's fine.
Speaker BLet's say there is a reason beyond our fears and hidden secularism why these realities might not exist anymore.
Speaker BAre you willing to look at evidence that says otherwise?
Speaker BBecause back in the 70s, 80s and 90s, the church took this much more seriously.
Speaker BAuthors like Constance Cumby wrote the Hidden Dangers of the Rainbow, Douglas Grouchius wrote Unmasking the New Age, and Walter Martin's works expose these realities.
Speaker BThey showed evangelical Christians still reeling from the 1960s what the new Age witchcraft and occult really meant.
Speaker BThen came nap time.
Speaker BEveryone just forgot.
Speaker BThe church took its eye way off the ball.
Speaker BThis let mystical beliefs take root, grow and spread until people just accepted them.
Speaker BNow Joe Rogan casually discusses DMT elves.
Speaker BOccult rituals show up at major TV events, yoga Studios sit on every corner and newspapers still print horoscopes.
Speaker BBut here's the worst part.
Speaker BWhat if the occult and New Age have spread further?
Speaker BWhat if they've reached church sanctuaries?
Speaker BWhat if they've infected the teaching, preaching and beliefs of pastors themselves?
Speaker BAnd that's where Spencer Smith comes in his third Adam.
Speaker BDocumentaries, which are free on YouTube, show the occult and New Age influence on Christianity in a way that no book can.
Speaker BWith video and audio evidence, he uses preacher's own words and practices to provide literally damning proof that the church has changed.
Speaker BAnd Spencer's documentaries aren't amateur work.
Speaker BThey show real heart, commitment and skill.
Speaker BThis isn't just some kid in his basement.
Speaker BWell, okay, he is in his basement.
Speaker BAnd sometimes his humor gets a bit juvenile.
Speaker BBut that's not the point.
Speaker BSpencer has mastered this material, investing serious time and effort.
Speaker BHe's done the hard work to bring these subjects home to you.
Speaker BHe wants you equipped, aware, and ready to spot these influences when they appear.
Speaker BAnd trust me, after watching his documentaries, you'll spot them maybe too close for comfort in your church, your community, your family background, or even, God forbid, your own home.
Speaker BThe Christian church's blindness hasn't gone unnoticed.
Speaker BIn fact, mysticism and the occult have claimed huge pieces of cultural and theological ground in record time.
Speaker BWe're living in occupied territory, and my interview with Carl Tykrib about Burning man proved that maybe we can't change what happens in the Nevada desert.
Speaker BFair enough.
Speaker BBut if you're ready to push back against what's happening in the church, Spencer will arm you with what you need now.

Speaker BAnd please welcome this week's guest on the podcast, a rip Roaring Good Time with the producer and director of of The Third Adam documentaries.
Speaker BMy bro, Spencer Smith.
Speaker BSpencer Smith, director of the third Adam series of documentaries.
Speaker BWelcome back to the Will Spencer podcast.
Speaker AThank you.
Speaker AGlad to be here.
Speaker BI have been so looking forward to this conversation.
Speaker BThe last time we talked, I think I'd seen the first of your three Third Adam films, and I watched the third Adam four recently and, and truly, man, I was really blown away by your work.
Speaker BAs many of my listeners know, I sort of came up through the new age world, and I don't know that I've seen anyone from inside the world of Christendom document the ideas and principles as well as you have.
Speaker BSo congratulations to you and thank you.
Speaker AAmen.
Speaker AThank you.
Speaker AIt was a lot of work, but it was a work worth doing and so we're glad to see God use it.
Speaker BPraise God.
Speaker BSo for those of you who aren't, for those listening who aren't familiar with the third Adam series, maybe we can talk just for a moment about, about the overarching philosophy of it, the theology of it, I suppose, and then how you got into this work in general when the, when the project started.
Speaker AWell, yeah, I was, you know, I was working in Kenya, going back and forth, taking several trips a year there.
Speaker AI think I've done over 20 trips to Kenya working with nationals over there and, you know, just talking to them and saying, hey, guys, okay, so what's the big deal with some of the problems you guys are facing?
Speaker ABecause I want to, I'm going to come alongside and assist you guys and help you succeed.
Speaker AAnd, and they all, without any question, said, it's the, the charismatic movement is the enemy over here.
Speaker AThis is the big enemy of the gospel.
Speaker AThis is, these are the people that we have to push back against.
Speaker AIt's not fun.
Speaker AIt's not good.
Speaker AAnd I said, well, what do I need to know so I can maybe kind of help, help fight back against this stuff?
Speaker AAnd they said, well, you have to understand, Spencer, that the, the charismatic movement over here is nothing more than the occult repackaged.
Speaker AAnd I said, well, you know, wow, okay.
Speaker AAnd they told me that.
Speaker AAnd they, they, they live up.
Speaker AAnd there was a town they called Mananja, Kenya, which was like the witchcraft capital of Ken.
Speaker AAnd, and they told me, said, these guys are, these witch doctors are the same thing as these charismatic preachers, and they're, they're operating by the same power, maybe just a different variation of it, but ultimately it's the same thing.
Speaker AAnd that really just, that was a, like, quite a load to roll onto me.
Speaker BYeah.
Speaker AAnd me and my blessed little IFB ignorance right there had no idea what that was.
Speaker AYou just, you just dropped a theological warhead on me.
Speaker AAnd.
Speaker AAnd so I went home and wrestled with that.
Speaker AAnd I said, okay, well, let's see.
Speaker AI mean, you telling me Hillsong is the occult that stop.
Speaker AThat's a big one.
Speaker AYeah, big leap.
Speaker AYeah.
Speaker AAnd so I started listening to it, and I started noticing saying.
Speaker AAnd I would listen to it because I was trying to like, you know, I liked it.
Speaker AI was just trying to listen to what it was.
Speaker AAnd, and so I noticed that these people are just, they just, they're just not plugged in the same outlet that I am.
Speaker AAnd then I started listening to Bethel, and then that took me to elevation.
Speaker AI stuck my head into the world of Steven Furtick, and then I stuck my head in the world of all this stuff, and I thought, oh, my goodness, these people are the occult.
Speaker AThey absolutely are.
Speaker AThey're not, maybe not black magic, but they're ultimately a white magic form of this stuff.
Speaker AAnd, and then that sent me on the journey of having to understand what the occult was and trying to understand the new age and then not completely obey, oppress myself by going in there and reading everything imaginable from that.
Speaker AAnd I had to kind of.
Speaker AGod gave me the right places to talk to, and God actually put people in my life to teach me where the places to look were.
Speaker AAnd I thank God for that.
Speaker AAnd so I was able to take that information, filter it through my theological understanding and say that, yes, there is a one world religion trying to be formed right now, and the motive is unity and love and kindness and set aside all your doctrinal differences and come together in some Kumbaya, you know, mush in the middle.
Speaker AAnd, and that ultimately the music was going to be a vehicle by which this was.
Speaker AWas happening.
Speaker AAnd, and, and that's ultimately Satan's goal.
Speaker AGive up your doctrine and just join the rest of us.
Speaker AJust do all that.
Speaker AAnd I, I see all.
Speaker ANot just independent Baptist churches, but I saw.
Speaker AI mean, I saw evangelicals, I saw the Reformed crowd.
Speaker AI saw a lot of.
Speaker AEven Lutheran churches were getting into this stuff.
Speaker AAnd, and I decided, okay, let's just put this stuff out there.
Speaker AAnd it became third Adam and third Adam.
Speaker AReally, we dropped that one.
Speaker AMarch, excuse me, February 1st, 2020.
Speaker ASo.
Speaker AOh, wow.
Speaker AIt was the providential timing of God for that to happen.
Speaker AAnd from there, our YouTube channel kept growing.
Speaker ASix months later, on June 6th, I did.
Speaker AI did third Adam two, and then about a year later did third Adam three.
Speaker AAnd then a year after that, third Adam four.
Speaker AAnd we're about 18 months after third Adam four, and I still haven't.
Speaker AI haven't done third out of five yet, so.
Speaker ABut that's where we are now, the whole series.
Speaker AAs.
Speaker AAs a whole, I think we're closing on 3 million views in the whole series, and it's a blessing.
Speaker ASo I really am glad for the opportunity.
Speaker AI want to do 10 of them.
Speaker AThat's my.
Speaker AMy goal.
Speaker AAnd there's a lot.
Speaker AWe can do, a lot of different angles.
Speaker AWe can go with it because it's just.
Speaker AIt's like.
Speaker AIt's.
Speaker AIt's so prevalent and it's everywhere, and I.
Speaker AI want to try to captivate all this stuff and get it, but I appreciate your prayers on that.
Speaker ABut definitely the Lord has helped me to do it, and I thank God for that.
Speaker AAnd it's.
Speaker AIt's really been a great thing.
Speaker BI had no idea that it started as a result of your overseas ministry work.
Speaker BI think I had heard you mention that maybe in another interview or in a podcast, briefly, but that's not what I would have expected, that you would have heard about it over in Africa, and that would have sent you on the journey that it did.
Speaker BI bet you didn't expect hearing that little bit of information that it would send you, you know, on a journey, 3 million views later.
Speaker BLater.
Speaker ANo, I.
Speaker AI had no idea.
Speaker AI really didn't.
Speaker AAnd it.
Speaker AIt.
Speaker AI keep telling those pastors in Africa, you guys mess me up, you know, and you guys really ruined my life telling me stuff like that.
Speaker ADon't tell me stuff like that, because I believe it.
Speaker AAnd so.
Speaker ABut, you know, we.
Speaker AI really love those men over there, and I've tried to help them try to give my life to mission work and stuff like that.
Speaker AAnd.
Speaker AAnd it's been a blessing to see God use it.
Speaker AIt's been a joy.
Speaker BSo as you came back, this is very interesting to me.
Speaker BSo as you came back with that bit of knowledge that kind of, you know, like the movie Inception, that just sort of plants this seed of an idea, and as you start digging into this, what was you.
Speaker BCan you remember the first thing that you discovered that was like, oh, wow, maybe there's some reality to this that sort of gave you the clue, like, there could be a path through the.
Speaker BThrough the jungle here?
Speaker AWell, one of the first.
Speaker AAha.
Speaker AMoments that I had was understanding.
Speaker AOkay.
Speaker AIt was understanding Eastern martial arts.
Speaker AOkay.
Speaker AAnd I remember back in my childhood, I remember I went to the movie theater as A little boy watching the Karate Kid.
Speaker AAnd you remember how Daniel LaRusso had that sore shoulder and he's complaining about it.
Speaker AMr.
Speaker AMiyagi goes and touches his shoulder and heals his shoulder.
Speaker AAnd I thought, oh, wow.
Speaker AI mean, is that not what Kenneth Copeland does?
Speaker AIs that not what Benny Hinn does?
Speaker AIs that not literally the exact same thing?
Speaker AAnd I thought, there it is.
Speaker AThat's it.
Speaker AAnd let me go find examples of this.
Speaker AAnd I just put it together on the screen and said, here's a Pentecostal church.
Speaker AHere is a Eastern mystic.
Speaker AHere is a, you know, here is a charismatic worship service.
Speaker AHere is a Hindu in India doing the exact same stuff.
Speaker AAnd I say that they.
Speaker AThey are the exact same fruit because they come from the exact same root.
Speaker AThat's the same spirit, the same source, just maybe a different slant on it.
Speaker AOne.
Speaker AOne is brown people and yellow people doing it in the East.
Speaker AThe other one's white people doing it in the West.
Speaker AIt's the same thing.
Speaker AAnd, And I think my.
Speaker AMy.
Speaker AMy years of traveling gave me that perspective to where I could.
Speaker AI could say that.
Speaker AAnd, and for me, I've never, You know, and that's why I tell folks at the beginning of Third Adam three, I said, I'm going to show you things that you.
Speaker AYou'll see things in this film that you'll never unsee.
Speaker AAnd.
Speaker AAnd for me, I've been ruined.
Speaker AI can't unsee it.
Speaker AI just.
Speaker AI've seen too much.
Speaker BYeah, it.
Speaker BIt changes you once you see it, but the trick is getting people to see it.
Speaker BSome people might look at that and say, oh, well, that's completely different.
Speaker BOne is Christian and the other is various forms of pagan.
Speaker BBut you had actually discovered that they do spring from the same root.
Speaker BDid you.
Speaker BDid you have trouble convincing people of that?
Speaker BBecause, yes, the surface appearances can look one way, but convincing them that it issues from the same source, I imagine that was a different challenge.
Speaker AI got a lot of hate from people that were deeply rooted in the charismatic world.
Speaker BYeah, I bet.
Speaker AYou know, like, like.
Speaker AAnd I'm put to you this way.
Speaker AI got a lot of hate from people whose paycheck dependent on believing this.
Speaker AI'll put it through that way, okay.
Speaker ABut people sitting in the pews saw this, instantly, said, oh, my goodness, what?
Speaker AWhy are we even here?
Speaker AAnd they left.
Speaker AAnd I don't know how many charismatic churches I've split, brother, but it, It.
Speaker AIt's been a lot.
Speaker AUm, and I don't know how many charismatic preachers have my face on the wall and throwing darts at me every week.
Speaker ABut it's probably been a lot.
Speaker AAnd, And I'm good with that.
Speaker AI feel good about.
Speaker AI'm happy about that.
Speaker ABut you know what?
Speaker AWhat I've discovered is that if I, if I don't.
Speaker AIf I slice it down to, like, okay, just music here, here's Hillsong is like effeminate pretty boy Barbie music for Christians.
Speaker AAnd it's not.
Speaker AThat's not what you need to be listening to.
Speaker AYou need more masculine.
Speaker AYou need to broaden your.
Speaker AYou know, okay, if I narrow it down and just make that attack, people get mad.
Speaker AYeah.
Speaker AAnd it's.
Speaker AAnd it's the Barbie pretty boy crowd that gets mad and says, well, why are you doing judging me?
Speaker AOh, that's what they do.
Speaker ABut if I tie it into the occult and show that the source of this music is something that is completely theologically nefarious, then everybody's pretty well okay.
Speaker AWith that said, yeah, you got a point.
Speaker AAnd that, I think that's really why this series has been so successful is because, you know, I'm not.
Speaker AI'm not arguing purple lights and skinny jeans, and I'm not arguing hair, and I'm not arguing, you know, I'm really not even arguing the.
Speaker AThe tone of their voice or anything like that.
Speaker AI'm.
Speaker AI'm arguing the big picture stuff.
Speaker AAnd, And I.
Speaker AAnd my.
Speaker AThe difference for me is, is that I think I've got the basics of the occult and the New Age down enough so that I can speak about it with knowledge and authority, whereas a lot of people can't.
Speaker AAnd I think that's the difference for me.
Speaker BYeah, you've really.
Speaker BThis was especially apparent in Third Adam four, that you had really done the work to master the material.
Speaker BBecause I came, I think, as we talked about, like, I came pre bundled into Christianity with this knowledge because that was my world.
Speaker BAnd so to some extent, I guess I would say I took it for granted almost.
Speaker BAnd so as I'm watching, you know, Third Adam four, I'm like, oh, wow.
Speaker BSpencer has really mastered this stuff from the outside, which is.
Speaker BWhich is quite difficult to do because in a sense, you have to get inside the mindset to see how all the pieces fit in a way.
Speaker BAnd it is.
Speaker BIt does all click into place in this very nefarious way.
Speaker BBut it's hard to, first of all, to believe that it's real, which it is.
Speaker BAnd then there's so much work that needs to be done to understand how all the pieces fit together.
Speaker BAnd it Seemed that.
Speaker BI think as I let you know, that you had.
Speaker BYou had really synthesized everything into.
Speaker BInto the picture that I understood coming from that world.
Speaker ARight.
Speaker AYeah.
Speaker AWell, it's.
Speaker AI.
Speaker AHere's what I've done, and I don't ask God to show me the understanding the cult.
Speaker AThat would be absurd to pray that.
Speaker ABut what, what happened was in the book of Revelation, John saw the woman and, and the angel of the Lord said unto John, I will show thee the mystery of the woman.
Speaker AAnd I asked God to show me the mystery of the woman.
Speaker AI want to see, you know, not just understand this just for this.
Speaker AI want to understand this as to.
Speaker ASo that I can understand how it applies to the church and how it applies to the overall deception game plan of Satan.
Speaker AThat's what I want to understand.
Speaker AI want to see.
Speaker AI want to see how this works.
Speaker AAnd I think God is to some degree answered that prayer in my life.
Speaker AI want.
Speaker AHelp me to see this mystery of the woman.
Speaker AI want to, you know, I don't want to be ignorant of Satan's devices.
Speaker AShow me what we're up against.
Speaker AAnd I think God has to some degree.
Speaker AAnd, you know, it's been.
Speaker AIt's been tough.
Speaker AIt's been tough trying to.
Speaker AJust trying to make sense of it all because when you're dealing with something like this, you're dealing with something that has no set doctrine.
Speaker AIt's.
Speaker AIt's a fluid, evolving, you know, just a rolling.
Speaker AEverything's changing.
Speaker AAnd that's why the Bible calls it mystery religion, because it's, It's.
Speaker AIt glories in its evolution.
Speaker AIt's always changing and evolving and whatever.
Speaker AAnd.
Speaker ABut if you, if you understand it well enough, you can understand the patterns and the.
Speaker AAnd the basics of it well enough to spot it.
Speaker AAnd, And I think, I think that's where I am now.
Speaker AI think I can understand the basics and see the pattern recognition of it.
Speaker AAnd it's very multifaceted.
Speaker AIt's everywhere.
Speaker AIt's in politics, it's in music, it's in.
Speaker AIt's in Hollywood.
Speaker AYou know, there's so much of that stuff in the Hollywood movies, I almost can't even hardly watch anything anymore.
Speaker AAnd it's ridiculous, brother.
Speaker ABut.
Speaker ABut I think we need to know that as Christians so that we don't get swept away into something like that.
Speaker BAnd it tries to pretend that it doesn't exist.
Speaker BOh, this is just art.
Speaker BOh, it's just me being creative or whatever.
Speaker BIt's not actually real, but it is actually.
Speaker BIt is actually really real.
Speaker BThat, that the performance of the thing has efficacy, even if you, even if the audience doesn't believe it.
Speaker BA good example is all these super bowl halftime shows.
Speaker BAnd maybe we could, we could talk about Kendrick, Kendrick Lamar's, which just took place a few days ago, if you'd like.
Speaker BBut, you know, I think that one was kind of noteworthy for its lack of overt occult symbolism.
Speaker BBut the movie, Movie Awards, Grammy Awards, you know, so many music videos and films, everything in popular culture has become occultic in nature.
Speaker BAnd this stuff is real.
Speaker BIt has, it has real impact.
Speaker AYeah.
Speaker AOh, yeah, it's, it's, yeah, it's absolutely real.
Speaker AThere's no question, anybody who would say that there's nothing to.
Speaker AThis is crazy.
Speaker AYou don't know what you're talking about.
Speaker AThis is a real religion that these people actually believe in and they actually do practice it openly in front of your children.
Speaker AAnd, and once you, once you understand that, you can, you can start to guard yourself from it and keep yourself away from it.
Speaker AYou know, there are, and I would say this too, one thing you have to understand, there's different degrees of it as well.
Speaker AIt's, you know, like there was what Sam Smith, I don't even know, he claims these non binaries, that.
Speaker AThat's American singer or something.
Speaker AAnd he, he, he did that.
Speaker AHe did a song called Unholy at the Grammys.
Speaker AAnd I don't get it, but a lot of these evangelical songwriters were there maybe sitting in the audience watching that while that happened and got their grammar a few hours later that evening.
Speaker AI don't understand how that works, but whatever.
Speaker ABut.
Speaker ASo that was over the top, blatant in your face demonism.
Speaker AThe man was wearing red horns and a pitchfork and dancing around.
Speaker AAnd so that's overtly occultic, but there is more subtle versions of the occult that I think are just as dangerous, if not even more dangerous than that.
Speaker AAnd that's the type of stuff I talk about because that's the type of stuff that takes on a form where it operates inside of a building that calls itself church.
Speaker ABut it's just as dangerous, it's just as demonic, it's just as evil, but it has a veneer of positivity, sweetness, and even, I would even say a veneer of Christianity.
Speaker AAnd when you look at it that way, you understand that men like Steven Furtick and Bill Johnson are some of the most dangerous people alive today.
Speaker AEven, even beyond Aleister Crowley and Alice Bailey and all that stuff, these people are dangerous.
Speaker AAnd I think it's easy to see the.
Speaker AThe problems with Kenneth Copeland because the man, I mean, the man wears his demon face on his face.
Speaker AYou know, I mean, the man's just completely.
Speaker AJust eat up with all that.
Speaker ABut you got guys like, you know, Brandon Lake and you got guys like Steven Furtick and you so many other guys out there, I forget that one guy.
Speaker AOh, Carl.
Speaker ALyn, you know, Carl.
Speaker AI watch Carl's podcast.
Speaker ACarl's very likable.
Speaker AHe's very intelligent guy, but he's just evil.
Speaker AHe just is an evil human.
Speaker AAnd I mean, honestly, brother, you can't.
Speaker AYou can't tell me a man who's that sensual, who's that playboyish, is right with God.
Speaker AAin't no way that's right.
Speaker AAnd, you know, he.
Speaker AHe just got it written all over him, brother.
Speaker AHe's got it written all.
Speaker AHe got the mark of sensuality on everything.
Speaker AEven his teeth are sensual.
Speaker AI mean, really.
Speaker AAnd he just.
Speaker AHe's got it written all over him.
Speaker AAnd, and so that.
Speaker AThat's just all.
Speaker AIt's all flesh.
Speaker AIt's all.
Speaker AIt's all the work of.
Speaker AOf flesh.
Speaker AThey know the spirit of God's not within a million miles, that kind of people.
Speaker AAnd so that's the type of stuff I'm using my influence to expose and talk about.
Speaker AAnd, and I wish.
Speaker AI wish, I wish to be used to call out the wolves in my day, and there's a bunch of them.
Speaker AThere's going to be more and more and more as time goes on, but that's what I hope to do.
Speaker AAnd I think if I can do that, I'll be.
Speaker AI will be of great service to the local church in these last days.
Speaker BSo to that point, maybe you can talk for a minute about some of the costs you've paid.
Speaker BTalking about the stuff you mentioned that charismatic preachers threw darts at your photo on the wall and you've.
Speaker BAnd you've split churches.
Speaker BNot you personally, but the.
Speaker BWhat you've discovered.
Speaker BPeople who are committed to these doctrines and practices and people who want nothing to do with it.
Speaker BMaybe you can talk a little bit about your journey of putting this information out there and some of the costs that you've paid maybe in terms of relationships, friendships, career, family, et cetera.
Speaker AWell, anytime you start to speak on these things, the devil makes sure that.
Speaker AThat people react the wrong way or they mishear things.
Speaker AYou know, one of the greatest tools of Satan is to magnify the faults of the messenger so that people will eventually ignore the message.
Speaker AAnd that's one of his great Tools.
Speaker AAnd I've suffered great personal attacks on my own life.
Speaker AYou know, people.
Speaker APeople just nitpick me for everything.
Speaker AImagine.
Speaker AWell, it's almost ridiculous.
Speaker AAnd.
Speaker AAnd that's just.
Speaker AThat's part of it.
Speaker AAnytime you're a public figure, that's the kind of stuff you're going to go through.
Speaker AI can.
Speaker AI can imagine what it'd be like being, you know, a major politician or something like that who's doing the right thing.
Speaker ABut I've lost.
Speaker AI've lost support, I've lost friends over a lot of this stuff.
Speaker AI've lost opportunities in ministry.
Speaker ABut through all that, God has paid me all that back, you know, three, three to five, ten fold.
Speaker AYou know, I've got more friends now than I know what to do with.
Speaker AI got more opportunities now than know what to do with.
Speaker AIt's really been a blessing.
Speaker AAnd I think what happens, I just speak to my world, the Baptist world that I'm in.
Speaker AWhen, when my YouTube channel started taking off and people started actually listening to me, that was weird to a lot of these guys, because you don't listen.
Speaker APeople don't listen to our kind.
Speaker AYou know, we're the.
Speaker AWe're the weird ones off in the corner here.
Speaker APeople don't list us.
Speaker AAnd so when.
Speaker AWhen people started listening to what I was saying, some good men started questioning, saying there must.
Speaker AThere's got to be something wrong with him, you know, and so.
Speaker AAnd I.
Speaker AI liken that to the story of David going to the battle of.
Speaker ATo the Valley of Elah and seeing nobody fighting against.
Speaker AAgainst Goliath.
Speaker AAnd he says, is there not a cause?
Speaker AWhat are y'all doing here?
Speaker AYou know?
Speaker AAnd everybody just accuses his character.
Speaker AWell, he just wanted to do something for God.
Speaker AAnd that's.
Speaker AThat's just it.
Speaker AAnd so that was.
Speaker AThat was.
Speaker ABeen my game plan.
Speaker ABut, you know, I've.
Speaker AI've.
Speaker AI think spiritually, I've.
Speaker AI've had a hard time sometimes with this stuff because every time I try to.
Speaker AEvery time I come right to the point, put out a documentary, man, I'm telling you, I get.
Speaker AI get a bunch of crazy stuff happens in my life.
Speaker AI got, like, during the work of third Adam four, I got.
Speaker AI think about five letters from the irs.
Speaker AAnd I'm serious, bro.
Speaker AI pay taxes.
Speaker AI.
Speaker AI am.
Speaker AI am.
Speaker AEverything I do is on the up and up.
Speaker AI mean, I am squeaky clean with.
Speaker AOkay, I've got.
Speaker AI pay.
Speaker AI don't know how.
Speaker AI pay way too much for an accountant and make sure everything's right.
Speaker AOkay.
Speaker AAnd I've got a cpa.
Speaker AI've got all, I've got lawyers, I've got everything.
Speaker ASo I've got, I got all my bases covered.
Speaker ABut you know, I've got, I've got way too much.
Speaker AI got five letters from the irs.
Speaker AAnd you know, you, your, your tax returns wrong.
Speaker AIt was just really what it ended up being.
Speaker AIt was completely insane.
Speaker AErrors on their part.
Speaker BThe IRS is part.
Speaker AThe IRS's part, yeah.
Speaker BNo way.
Speaker AYou know, I mean, they sent me a letter saying I owed them $30,000.
Speaker AAnd I'm like, from what?
Speaker AWow, what?
Speaker AI didn't even pay you guys that much.
Speaker AAnd, and you know, I looked at, I thought this is.
Speaker AAnd it was some stock trading thing that I didn't even do.
Speaker AAnd turns out, you know, they had got a wrong letter from something and across it was a mess.
Speaker AAnd a long story short, after about the fifth letter, I handed it all to my CPA and we got a square way end up they owed me money.
Speaker AAnd so I got like thousand bucks from the irs.
Speaker AThank you very much for wasting your time.
Speaker AYou know, so.
Speaker ABut just weird stuff like that happens to me.
Speaker AI get, you know, and I just know it's the devil.
Speaker AIt's just trying to do that stuff to me.
Speaker ABut I.
Speaker AAnytime a man stands for what's right in this world, there's going to be an opposition to it.
Speaker AAnd the whole world's backwards.
Speaker AWe're trying our best just to stay right over here, have the right stand of the right spirit.
Speaker AThat's what we're trying to do and just leave the results up to God.
Speaker AAnd God's given us some good results and I'm thankful for that.
Speaker BI appreciate you sharing those stories because they wouldn't necessarily be obvious from.
Speaker BJust from watching the YouTube channel.
Speaker BTo know the behind the scenes of yes.
Speaker BProducing these documentaries and the supporting material around it is an effort unto itself to compile the footage, to review it, to edit, you know, to produce, to edit and release it and then support it.
Speaker BThat is an effort.
Speaker BMeanwhile, you have actual attacks, spiritual, relational, emotional, financial, governmental, bureaucratic coming after you, trying to throw you off mission, trying to exploit your weaknesses, or trying to attack your character so that the message itself can be taken down.
Speaker BThat's not totally unexpected.
Speaker BLike it's not like.
Speaker BOh my gosh, really.
Speaker BLike it makes sense, but it's not something that you would necessarily surface, you know, in the documentary itself, like a little bit at the end.
Speaker BBy the way, this is what happened while producing This, I appreciate you sharing that.
Speaker AYeah, well, praise the Lord.
Speaker AYeah, I've had, I mean, it's not like I've been beat up and been, you know, chewed up and spit out, but I mean I've, I've, you know, we've had some opposition to this stuff.
Speaker AYou know, I had, what was it, Greg Lock got mad at me a couple years ago and threatened to sue me publicly and all this kind of stuff because some things that I had said about his doctrine.
Speaker AAnd so it was, it just, we, we've, we've ruffled some feathers and for that I'm thankful.
Speaker ASo it's been, it's been wild though.
Speaker AAnd I, I, I enjoy what I do and you know, and don't get me wrong, I don't, I don't have like some sadistic, you know, thrill out of making everybody mad.
Speaker AIt's not how I am.
Speaker ABut I, I, I do love seeing truth going forward and it affecting people and it affects a lot of people the right way.
Speaker ASometimes it affects people the wrong way and that's, that's just, I mean, you read the Book of Acts, you can see that happening almost every page.
Speaker ABut I, to me that's, that's validation that God's at work.
Speaker AAnd for that I'm glad, I'm just glad I'm on the winning side, brother.
Speaker AIt's fun.
Speaker BI'm grateful for you too.
Speaker BAnd I think you bring the right spirit to it.
Speaker BYou know, someone who is maybe more from the reformed tradition and is more intellectual and heady about everything.
Speaker BLike it would take on a heaviness to it.
Speaker BRight.
Speaker BA theological, a theological heaviness and maybe an academic spirit.
Speaker BBut you bring a light hearted spirit.
Speaker BSort of humorous.
Speaker BRight.
Speaker BSort of jovial that is much more inviting to talk about topics that are frankly pretty dark.
Speaker AWell, I have to be jovial.
Speaker AIt's heavy stuff, man.
Speaker BYeah.
Speaker AAnd you know, and excuse me, I've, I've, I've been sick.
Speaker AI apologize.
Speaker ABut I, you know, I, I love living, I love life, I love having fun.
Speaker AI'm having a good time over here.
Speaker AI enjoy my family.
Speaker AWe always have a lot of fun together and I think apologetics should be done.
Speaker AIt's a fight.
Speaker AIt's, you know, we're going to contend for the faith, but the same time at the very end we got to keep, I just did that book on wandering stars from the Book of Jude and you know, at the beginning it says earnestly contend for the faith.
Speaker AAnd then at the very end of it says, keep yourself in the love of God.
Speaker AAnd if some have compassion, making a difference.
Speaker ASo, you know, there's a balance in all that.
Speaker AYou got to be, you got to fight, but you got to stand and stand sweet while you're doing so.
Speaker AAnd that's always been my goal.
Speaker AMy granddaddy was a marine and he knew how to be married.
Speaker AMean.
Speaker AOh my goodness, he knew how to be mean, but he was mean about the right things and he was just mean just for the sake of being mean.
Speaker AAnd, and I think that's, that's what men need to hear today.
Speaker AThere's a difference.
Speaker AYou don't, you know, you ain't got to stand up there and just poke with an eye and the finger of everybody that you disagree with all the time.
Speaker ABut at the same time, there are some things worth fighting over and we need to argue over them and stand for them and, and the balance and all that's very hard to find.
Speaker ABut if you can find it, lock onto it, it's worth keeping.
Speaker BAmen.
Speaker BMaybe talk a little bit more about being mean for the right things because I think we'd agree that we live in a heavily feminized culture, right, with that, that prioritizes feelings and safety, quote, unquote.
Speaker BBut there is, there is a righteous form of meanness to error, to lies to wolves and false teachers.
Speaker BSay, say more about, about being the right kind of mean.
Speaker AWell, I, I saw a video.
Speaker AI forget what it was.
Speaker AI think some men were floating down a creek on some Alaska hunt and there was two baby grizzly bears on the, on the banks there.
Speaker AAnd I'm talking about, they were like 10ft from these, these baby bears and, and one guy said, get the gun, get the gun right now.
Speaker AAnd the guy grabbed a shotgun and held it up and sure enough, some gigantic mama bear just burst through the bushes and started running through the creek and running at those men and, and he fired two shots in the air.
Speaker AScared the bears off.
Speaker AThey ran away.
Speaker AAnd.
Speaker ABut the video footage of that mama grizzly bear running through that creek like it was nothing.
Speaker AAnd I'm talking about 400 pound animal.
Speaker AJack could have just jumped and tore that whole, that whole raffle of dudes to pieces.
Speaker AThat was horrifying.
Speaker ABut people have to understand that from that bear's perspective, that was an act of love.
Speaker AOkay, it looked mean, but it was motivated by love and compassion for her own baby cubs.
Speaker AAnd I think today we've warped love into thinking that it's an ultra passive, non confrontational type of deal.
Speaker AAnd that's not love.
Speaker AThat's a perversion of love.
Speaker AIt's not biblical love in a sense.
Speaker ANow when I think of the perfect man, I think of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Speaker AJesus was very compassionate to people.
Speaker AHe wept with people, he loved people.
Speaker AHe touched the lepers, he put his hands on them and touched them.
Speaker AHe had children in his lap as he stood there and talked.
Speaker ABut one of the things he said, he took stands and he said something.
Speaker AMatter of fact, one of the times he was preaching, he had a child in his lap and he said, if any man ever offend one of these little ones, it'd be best if a millstone be cast around his neck.
Speaker AHe'd be cast in the depth of the sea.
Speaker AJesus said that with a child in his lap.
Speaker AThat would have been a little bit tense, don't you think?
Speaker ABut grace and truth are two things.
Speaker AThey're Siamese twins, and if you have one without the other, you don't have anything.
Speaker AI think evangelicalism gets too gracious.
Speaker AI think they're too lovey dovey.
Speaker AI think they're too soft on things.
Speaker AAnd that's why in evangelicalism there's a plethora of female influencers who I don't think have the gear necessary to militantly stand on theological truth.
Speaker AI think their feminine nature takes over.
Speaker AAnd I think even.
Speaker AWhat was her name, Megan Basham, she even said that a while back that women shouldn't be pastors because of that.
Speaker AAnd I agree with her.
Speaker ABut then also you got these, you know, the hardcore crazy, staunch fundamentalists that are almost dipping their toe into cult like territory.
Speaker AThey're all truth but no grace.
Speaker AAnd they're, they're, they're just like, you know, nasty people.
Speaker AAnd I think, I think you don't have to be a fundamentalist to be that.
Speaker ABut I think some people just nasty, they just, you know, you're all going to hell and have fun while you're doing it.
Speaker AYou know, just, we don't care anything for you.
Speaker AI think there's a balance there.
Speaker AGrace and truth.
Speaker AChrist had grace, but he also had truth.
Speaker AAnd I want to do that.
Speaker AI want to stand firm on what's right, but I also want to be kind and inviting and endearing as a person.
Speaker ASomebody emailed me a while back and gave me a great compliment and I thank God for it.
Speaker AThis guy emailed me and told me a sad story about the type of church he'd grown up in and how it was real pharisaical, legalistic, whatever you want to call it.
Speaker AAnd then he emailed me.
Speaker AHe said, I just want to let you know that my whole life I've been antagonized by people like you, but I watch you, and you're different.
Speaker AHe said, you're kind of fun, and he said, you're kind of interesting to.
Speaker AYou know.
Speaker AHe said, I kind of.
Speaker AI appreciate what you're saying.
Speaker AHe said, I appreciate the way you say it, too.
Speaker AAnd I think, to me, that was a high compliment.
Speaker AI loved that.
Speaker AI almost printed out and put it on my wall just so my wife could see it.
Speaker ABut I think that's the goal for all of us.
Speaker AYou know, you may not agree with me on.
Speaker AOn everything, and that's fine, but at least you.
Speaker AYou see that I'm acting in good faith and trying to help, and.
Speaker AAnd if you could see that, that's enough for me.
Speaker BI mean, I see that, and I think that's what I think.
Speaker BThe first one.
Speaker BThe first one of the third Adam films that I saw was Third Adam three.
Speaker BI think a friend of mine.
Speaker BIt was either two or three.
Speaker BA friend of mine showed it to me, and that was the.
Speaker BThat was really like, oh, wow.
Speaker BThis is a.
Speaker BThis is a different approach.
Speaker BThis is fun.
Speaker BThis is enjoyable.
Speaker BIt's very.
Speaker BIt's very personal.
Speaker BJust real quick, if.
Speaker BIf you don't mind, what does your wife think about all this?
Speaker AOh, she.
Speaker AShe thinks it's.
Speaker AIt's great.
Speaker AShe kind of gets a kick out of how people get so mad at something that I said that was just like, basic Bible theology.
Speaker AShe's like, well, do people not agree with this?
Speaker ALike, what's.
Speaker AThis is.
Speaker AMakes sense to me, but, you know, I.
Speaker AI don't rope my wife into the online controversy world as, you know, just let her be the mother of the kids and, you know, let me be the mean old monster online, you know, it's you, big meanie.
Speaker AYeah.
Speaker AThat's what we do.
Speaker ASo.
Speaker ABut she.
Speaker AShe's.
Speaker AShe's glad that she's like me.
Speaker AShe's glad the Lord's using it, and we praise the Lord for that.
Speaker BWas she sort of watching you discover this stuff?
Speaker BYou'd show her what you were learning, and you're both just, like, sitting around the dinner table, like, what is going on?
Speaker AYeah, yeah, just like, you know, we.
Speaker AI got into the third Adam 3 stuff, and she's like, oh, boy, this is not going to go well.
Speaker AAnd she.
Speaker AShe laughed at it, you know, but.
Speaker ABut really, I.
Speaker AI'll be.
Speaker AI'll tell you the truth.
Speaker AOut of all the third Adams I did third.
Speaker AAdam three was the one I got the least flack for, really.
Speaker AI really think so.
Speaker AI got the least flack for that.
Speaker AAnd it was because I was.
Speaker AI.
Speaker AFor me.
Speaker AAnd it's just maybe this, because I don't know everything, but for me, I took an angle on women that I don't think anybody else ever taken.
Speaker AAnd I wasn't sitting there saying, you know, get in the kitchen, raise babies, and go make a sandwich.
Speaker AYou know, I wasn't doing all that.
Speaker AI was saying, listen, you're.
Speaker AYou're vitally important to the plan of God immensely, so probably more important all of us.
Speaker AAnd because of that, God has put a covering over you, called your husband to protect you, and you need that.
Speaker AThat's God's design.
Speaker AAnd, you know, it's kind of like your head in the battle.
Speaker AYour head's very important to your overall bodily function.
Speaker AThat's why we put a helmet on it, okay?
Speaker ABecause if your head takes a blow, it doesn't matter how good your kidneys are.
Speaker AIf your head got, you know, split in half with an ax on the battlefield, it didn't matter.
Speaker AYour kid is going to die.
Speaker AEverything dies when the head dies.
Speaker AAnd.
Speaker AAnd so that's what we say.
Speaker AGod, you know, God has given us women.
Speaker AThey're very important, but if you get messed up, then everything gets messed up.
Speaker AAnd I think it was John Rice, the old Fundamental Baptist preacher, years ago.
Speaker AHe said, as go the women, so go the nation.
Speaker AAnd I agree with that.
Speaker AWomen today are brats.
Speaker AWomen today are complete narcissistic.
Speaker AKim Kardashian never had any consequences to anything.
Speaker AThey're monsters.
Speaker AAnd there I go being mean.
Speaker ABut women today have not.
Speaker AYou know, they've been spoiled, and they've been messed up.
Speaker AAnd so they mess their children up, they mess their marriages up, they mess their churches up.
Speaker AThey mess their.
Speaker AI mean, they mess their societies up.
Speaker AI mean, and they become very destructive creatures when they're not in the position that God's put them to be in, and God has ordained for them to be.
Speaker AAnd when I put it that way, I don't.
Speaker AI don't know any reasonable woman who can.
Speaker AWho can say that was wrong.
Speaker AAnd I gave examples of that.
Speaker AAnd so, you know, but that was really a fun one to make.
Speaker AI enjoyed that one.
Speaker AAnd then I did the third item, 3x, where I added a lot more information to it.
Speaker AIt's over four hours long.
Speaker AThat one's available, too.
Speaker ASo I put a lot of Catholic information in there on that.
Speaker ABut.
Speaker AAnd A lot of information about women, goddesses and that type of stuff.
Speaker ASo that was really a fun project.
Speaker AI'm glad for that.
Speaker BJust out to make as many friends as possible, eh brother?
Speaker AI need, I'm stacking friends like trading cards around here, buddy.
Speaker BSee them in the background?
Speaker AYes, yes.
Speaker AIt's a lot of fun, brother.
Speaker AI'm having the time of my life.
Speaker BWell, so let's, let's, let's go from there.
Speaker BLet's actually work through what each individual third Adam documentary is about.
Speaker BSo 1, 2, 3, 3x, I guess and then 4 and then we'll kind of build up to where things are at today and focus particularly on third Adam four, where you sort of take a broader perspective.
Speaker BBut let's start with third Adam one.
Speaker BWhat, what was, what was that documentary about?
Speaker ABasically it's the idea, I believe that there's a coming Antichrist of quote, okay, I am a, I'm pre millennial in my view of scriptures and I think that, you know, I think there's an Antichrist coming, a one world leader.
Speaker AI think all the, all the scriptures there.
Speaker ABut at the same time you don't have to be premillennial to see what I'm saying in third Adam.
Speaker AOkay.
Speaker AI believe the world system has programmed people slanted their minds away from God.
Speaker AAnd I even, I believe the entertainment is the music.
Speaker AI believe it's churches.
Speaker AI believe false churches rather.
Speaker AI believe it's the occult.
Speaker AI believe it's, it's so much that is pulling people's minds away from the Lord.
Speaker AI believe those Marvel movies were designed to make you think that Thanos was Jesus.
Speaker AAnd you know, if the second coming of Jesus Christ, there's, the Bible says there'll be a lot of people standing there in the valley of Megiddo want ready to fight him.
Speaker AAnd that right there you go read or go watch the Marvel movies with Thanos.
Speaker AI think the Marvel movies are the book of Revelation told from Satan's perspective that Thanos is evil.
Speaker AThanos is Jesus and Thanos is evil.
Speaker AHe's coming to invade this planet.
Speaker AWe've got to stand against, behind a hero who can help us fight off this terrible space invader type creature.
Speaker ANow that's out there, that's, that's kind of been the theme of a lot of movies for a long time.
Speaker AAnd I think that just, just every little thing like that has been slanted to make people think that, that Jesus is the bad guy.
Speaker AAnd so, and also in third Adam one we put in there that the modern Charismatic movement is adopted, something called the Seven Mountain Mandate.
Speaker AAnd the Seven Mountain Mandate is a form of post millennialism that guys like Sean Fuchs, I believe several other NAR guys believe this.
Speaker AAnd they are.
Speaker AThey're very problematic view.
Speaker AThey believe that we're going to usher in the kingdom and we're going to take the kingdom by force, which sounds like something right out of the Knights Templar.
Speaker AAnd they're very dangerous people theologically.
Speaker ABut, you know, that's the crowd that Donald Trump has surrounded himself with.
Speaker AAnd so I just talk about that and just say, look, the whole point of third Adam one, there is a demonic deception that's pretend to be Christianity.
Speaker AYou can find the difference between the two and get yourself in a church that believes the right side of this, because if not, there is a coming destruction upon people and you don't want to be a part of that.
Speaker AThat was basically the message.
Speaker AAnd I put it out there.
Speaker AI thought that'd be it.
Speaker AI didn't think anybody ever listened to it.
Speaker AI thought maybe this get 10,000 views.
Speaker APraise the Lord.
Speaker AWe're almost 900,000 views on that video now.
Speaker BWow.
Speaker AAnd so for that I say, man, but man, I just, I didn't think it'd ever go that far.
Speaker ABut it did and really sparked a whole movement is what it did.
Speaker ASo that was good.
Speaker AAnd then.
Speaker AThird Adam two, you want to just jump through each of them then?
Speaker BYeah, actually, I want.
Speaker BYeah, we'll jump through each one and then I'll go back and ask you a couple questions.
Speaker AYeah, and the third item too.
Speaker AI'll just sum it up real quick.
Speaker AThird Adam two, I talked about, what is that?
Speaker AWhat is paganism?
Speaker AOkay, let's just go through that.
Speaker AOkay.
Speaker APaganism is the religion of Nimrod.
Speaker AAnd.
Speaker AAnd it was the idea of the Tower of Babel.
Speaker AAnd I believe the Tower of Babel is not a tower like we think in a Western sense.
Speaker AI believe the Tower of Babel was a pyramid.
Speaker BZiggurat.
Speaker BRight?
Speaker AYeah.
Speaker AZiggur is something like that.
Speaker AIt's something along those lines.
Speaker AAnd.
Speaker AAnd then I believe when God confounded the languages, all these people went across the world and started making pyramids and ziggurats all across the world.
Speaker AAnd that's why we have so many pyramids today.
Speaker AI believe that's what happened.
Speaker AAnd I believe the great work of Satan in the last days is unity.
Speaker AAnd one of the things that Satan is going to use, since he can't use doctrine to unify people, he's going to use experience to Unify people.
Speaker AAnd there you go.
Speaker AWe have charismatics and Hindus and Buddhists all having the same exact experience.
Speaker AAnd so they're going to unite together as one world religion.
Speaker AAnd by the way, one of the great groups of people today, one of the most prominent groups of people today that's having tongue talking and rolling in the floor and stuff like that are Catholics.
Speaker APeople don't realize that, but it's actually the Catholic Church that is doing a lot of this stuff right now.
Speaker AOh boy.
Speaker ASo all these tongue talkers are going to get together and, and you've seen Hindu people talk in tongues or have some sort of thing similar to that.
Speaker AYou've seen that.
Speaker AAnd it's all the same thing.
Speaker AIt's demonic.
Speaker AAnd so they're going to come together under experience and under music and, and they're going to unite and create a one world religion.
Speaker AThat's third Adam two.
Speaker AThird Adam three is God is using women to drive a lot of this stuff in the local church.
Speaker AWomen who don't know their place in God's order and God's plan.
Speaker AAnd you know, and it's the idea of a feminine form of Christianity and the idea of a female Holy spirit, that's what Third Adam 3 is all about.
Speaker AAnd the feminine spirit, which is called the Shekinah, the feminine quote unquote, Holy Spirit feminizes men and it emasculizes women.
Speaker AAnd so it reverses the order of the genders in the churches.
Speaker AAnd so if a man's, if a man's filled with the true Holy Spirit of God, he's going to be masculine.
Speaker ABut if a man is filled with this false holy Spirit, the Shekinah spirit, then he's going to be effeminate as all day.
Speaker AAnd that's 90% of your, your contemporary worship singers.
Speaker AThey're, they're, I mean, I mean, they're one eyebrow job away from being a full transgender.
Speaker AI mean, there totally are.
Speaker AAnd it's bad, brother.
Speaker AIt's.
Speaker AI follow his eyes.
Speaker BNo, it's great.
Speaker BPlease turn that up.
Speaker BI love it.
Speaker AI mean, that's, that's what these guys are.
Speaker AI mean, I wonder if they.
Speaker AI don't know.
Speaker AI have so many questions about these things.
Speaker AAnd so that's third item three.
Speaker AThird and three X is more extended version of that with more goddess worship and emphasizing that.
Speaker AAnd then third and four, I explained the spirit energy, the spirit power behind all this stuff, what it is, what it manifests itself in other religions and things like that, and how that these people are not operating under the power of the Holy Spirit, they're operating under the Spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience.
Speaker AEphesians, chapter number two.
Speaker AThere's two spirits, there's two kingdoms, there's two gospels, there's two spirits.
Speaker AAnd that was the outline of Third Adam four.
Speaker AAnd we wrapped that project up and.
Speaker ARight about four hours.
Speaker ASo that was good.
Speaker BJust a short little, Just a short, little overview.
Speaker AYeah, just a, just a minor, minor exploration of these topics.
Speaker AYeah.
Speaker ASo, yeah.
Speaker BAnd the total of the length of all the documentaries so far must be what, 12, 15 hours?
Speaker BSomething like that.
Speaker AIt's, that's over 12.
Speaker AYeah.
Speaker BWow.
Speaker AWow.
Speaker BSo, so let's go back to third Adam one.
Speaker BYou mentioned the NAR.
Speaker BThat's the new apostolic reformation.
Speaker BAnd you have the 12 mountain mandate.
Speaker BYou mentioned post millennialism.
Speaker BNow this is a, this is very interesting because I'm sort of in a different sort of Doug Wilsonian form of post millennialism, which is, which is a different form of like, we're going to take power by force.
Speaker BSo maybe you can talk a little bit about the NAR and the, and the, sorry, seven mountain mandate.
Speaker BNot the 12 mountain mandate.
Speaker AYeah, the seven mountain mandate.
Speaker AThey believe that we're going to try to push back and try to Christianize seven different main areas of society, one of them being art, government, schooling.
Speaker AAnd I forget all of them off the top of my head.
Speaker ABut the problem is.
Speaker AOkay, that sounds really good.
Speaker ASounds really good.
Speaker ABut you have to realize who these people are that are actually saying this.
Speaker AWe're going to Christianize this.
Speaker AOkay.
Speaker AThese people are horrible.
Speaker ADoctrinally.
Speaker AThey're, they're scary.
Speaker AThey're, they're, they, they believe in the religion of the Knights Templars, what they do.
Speaker AAnd, and basically if they got their way, they would be a tyrannical government is what they would be.
Speaker AThey would, they would.
Speaker AI mean, if you didn't talk in tongues, if you didn't do the things they do, it would be very problematic for you as a Christian.
Speaker ASo that, that is what they're into.
Speaker AAnd of course that, that feeds into my pre millennial views of, of, you know, it's gonna, there's gonna be great falling away.
Speaker AAnd I believe that there is going to be a one world religion going forward.
Speaker AAnd the Book of Revelation, I have a futuristic view of the Book of Revelation and I think there's going to be a one world religion going forward and they're going to try their very best for that.
Speaker ASo it's not necessarily like More of a Protestant, I think.
Speaker AJonathan Edwards was post millennial, and because in his day, everything was getting better and better and better.
Speaker AEverything's getting great.
Speaker AA lot of people get saved, all that kind of stuff.
Speaker AI think, I really think World War I and World War II really hurt the post millennial view, because people thought the world was getting a lot worse after that now.
Speaker ABut if Donald Trump keeps doing things he's doing now, I might become post millennial after it's all over with.
Speaker ABut I'll tell you what, I'm excited, but no, but that, that's when these people say, this is what we're trying to do.
Speaker AIt's very dangerous, it's very nefarious.
Speaker AAnd that's the difference with these guys.
Speaker BSo it's, it's not a biblical spirit.
Speaker BIt's, it's a, it's a different kind of spirit.
Speaker BIt's a spirit of dominion.
Speaker BLike, not a good kind of.
Speaker BMaybe domination would be a better word than dominion.
Speaker BThere's a, there's a character to it.
Speaker BNow, is the Seven Mountain Mandate new Apostolic Reformation?
Speaker BI remember there were times where I had heard a lot more about it, but is it still going strong or has it fallen off a little bit?
Speaker BI haven't heard much about it lately.
Speaker AWell, I mean, it's, I think with, with Bethel and all this, a lot of things have kind of gone quiet with them for about a year, and I don't know if they've got smart.
Speaker AThey wised up a little bit.
Speaker AI think it's still going, but I think that they, I think maybe they've kind of become a little bit more subtle, and I'm kind of waiting where they're going to pop up next.
Speaker ABut there are very prominent guys out there, like Sean Foych, who believes this.
Speaker AYou got Paula White Kane, who just became the White House faith office leader of all that.
Speaker AShe believes in all that.
Speaker ASo it's still there.
Speaker AAnd I think in time, as Donald Trump kind of becomes, you know, as the whole office of the, the golden era, if you will, of Donald Trump pans out, we're going to see how this plays out.
Speaker ABut, yeah, they still believe that, and they're still trying to make that happen.
Speaker AAnd I don't know what their angle is now, but we'll see.
Speaker BThat's so interesting.
Speaker BI've had a number of conversation lately from individuals that are not connected to each other.
Speaker BSo these are people that have reached out to me, friends, influential people, and I've just having.
Speaker BAnd they don't know Each other.
Speaker BAnd we've all been talking about.
Speaker BIt seems that one of the things that's behind the Trump administration is this push for this AI transhumanism.
Speaker BSo Peter Thiel, Elon Musk.
Speaker BRight.
Speaker BAnd that is, that is explicitly their goal, an AI driven transhumanist future.
Speaker BThey're open about it.
Speaker BAnd so it's interesting that there's that the Seven Mountain Mandate, these people are kind of in that mix.
Speaker BAnd so, gosh, I don't really know what, I don't know what to make of that off the top of my head.
Speaker AI don't either.
Speaker AAll right, so I'm, I'm sorry, that's boring podcasting, but I don't either.
Speaker BNo, no, I mean, it's.
Speaker BI think it's important.
Speaker BLike, these were subjects, like, of course, I think we all have questions about Elon Musk's theology, let's say, and some of the things.
Speaker BYes, of course, X is, you know, X is X for sure.
Speaker BAnd, you know, the SpaceX stuff he does is exciting.
Speaker BAnd I like some of the Doge stuff that's going on.
Speaker BAnd I think all of those things are very easy to cheer for on the surface, but the ideology behind it is less exciting, perhaps.
Speaker BPlease, go ahead.
Speaker AI think it all boils down all transhumanism, all this stuff boils down to man wants to live forever and man wants to escape the curse that he's under, and man wants to be his own God.
Speaker AI think that really.
Speaker AI watched a video from Elon Musk a while back about going to Mars, and he said the wording he used, we need to expand consciousness beyond this planet.
Speaker AAnd that right there tells like, whoa, buddy, you know, there we go.
Speaker AAnd so he's trying to create.
Speaker AHe's trying to keep life alive outside the umbrella of the curse of God.
Speaker AIt seems like what they're trying to do, and maybe that's what's written on the conscience of man, is that this, this planet is doomed.
Speaker AYou know, God has judged this thing.
Speaker AAnd so maybe that, that's their, their carnal response is to escape that.
Speaker AAnd, and some people, I don't know.
Speaker AI don't know if exactly, brother.
Speaker AIf we can know exactly what Nimrod was trying to do at the Tower of Babel.
Speaker AI don't know if we can exactly know his motive, exactly know what he was even trying to accomplish.
Speaker AI think that he was trying to usurp God.
Speaker AI think he hated God.
Speaker AI think he was trying to do some sort of ritual that would have given him the power to live forever and, and escape the very judgment of God.
Speaker AThat's my take on that.
Speaker AAnd I think that maybe in a, in a different sense, space exploration, expanding consciousness to other planets, and this whole transhumanism type stuff is another variation of that.
Speaker ATrying to escape the curse, trying to escape this planet, trying to escape the judgment of God and better ourselves.
Speaker ASo we'll live forever.
Speaker AI think that's what, I think that's what this is inherently.
Speaker ANow, of course, there are obvious exceptions to that.
Speaker AI have to use the Scott Adams phrase, of course there's obvious exceptions, but I think in general that's what they're trying to do.
Speaker BIt's a little bit like, I think I remember in the previous iteration of Mark Zuckerberg when he was more the computer dork, before he was the Gen Z bro, there was a lot more talk about uploading our consciousness into the Internet or something like that, and we can live forever that way.
Speaker BBut now it seems like they're trying for a different kind of live forever, which is maybe expanding our consciousness onto other planets or into the cosmos, sort of still trying to escape death.
Speaker BMaybe it's just the new shinier version of that.
Speaker AWell, and really there's literally no difference between what you said and what Mormonism is.
Speaker BAll right, let's go.
Speaker AThat's exactly what Mormonism is.
Speaker AI mean, mormonism is Babylon 5, whatever that TV show was, and we're going to be our own gods.
Speaker AWe're going to be our own Yahweh's of our own planets.
Speaker AWe're going to have our own Adam and Eves.
Speaker AWe're going to be.
Speaker AI mean, how, how much more dark of a religion do you want?
Speaker AI mean, that's, that's what Mormonism is.
Speaker AAnd I'm sorry, I'm giving away what my research in the next, the next installment of Third Adam is, but even.
Speaker BMore friends to be made.
Speaker AYeah, this is, this is where it's going.
Speaker AAnd the idea that I can be my own God of my own planet.
Speaker AI mean, and even video games are doing that right now.
Speaker ANo, Man's sky is a video game.
Speaker AVery popular right now.
Speaker AYou can go be your own God of your own planet and run your own thing and nobody mess with you.
Speaker AI mean, this, this is where it all goes.
Speaker AI think people are trying to escape God, you know, and this is why I think this is what David said in the Psalms, you know, if I, if I ascend to the heavens above, thou art there.
Speaker AIf I ascend the hell below, thou Art, there, there is no escaping the Lord.
Speaker AAnd man wants to escape God because the man's a criminal and he wants to escape the sheriff, you know, and he knows there's a day coming where he's going to meet that judgment.
Speaker AHe wants to try to avoid it rather than get it right.
Speaker AAnd I, I'm just astounded at the lengths fallen man avoid the judgment of God upon himself rather than just repent and get trust Christ.
Speaker AAnd that's where we're, that's where we're heading.
Speaker ABut Mormonism is a sick, nasty religion.
Speaker AI can't believe anybody would ever want anything to do with that chosen TV series.
Speaker AThat is nothing that is produced by Mormons, paid for by Mormons.
Speaker AAnd Dallas Jenkins is out of his ever loving mind trying to tell people on these podcasts that, that the Mormons that work on that show worship the same Jesus that he does.
Speaker AWell, truth be told, that's actually factually correct because he doesn't worship.
Speaker ADallas Jenkins is not a Christian.
Speaker ADallas Jenkins is an apostate liberal.
Speaker AAnd I don't know how guys like Alan Parr let Dallas Jenkins get on his channel and say stuff like that without any rebuttal whatsoever.
Speaker AOh my goodness, what's wrong with you people?
Speaker AAll of you are compromisers and liberals.
Speaker AI can't believe it.
Speaker AAnd so that's a big problem, brother.
Speaker AAnd so that's where the being mean comes in.
Speaker AYou got to stand against this Mormonism stuff.
Speaker AThis stuff is from hell.
Speaker AIt's evil.
Speaker AThe man was a free.
Speaker AJoseph Smith was a freemason.
Speaker AHe was a mystic.
Speaker AHe had a seeing stone that he put inside of a top hat and he put the hat over his face and he would have mystical visions about where you know about theological concepts.
Speaker AAnd he put all that in the print.
Speaker AAnd I mean, you know, and really, to me, one of the greatest American stories of all time is how Joseph Smith died.
Speaker ADo you ever read about that?
Speaker BHe was murdered, wasn't he?
Speaker AOh, yeah, yeah, big time.
Speaker AIt was, it was really amazing.
Speaker AYeah, yeah.
Speaker AOkay, so Joseph Smith was running around and, and like trying to marry everybody's 13 year old daughter.
Speaker AOkay.
Speaker BOh, that's where he's like, oh, and by the way, polygamy is okay now.
Speaker AYeah, man, no problem.
Speaker AAnd by the way, you're, you're, you know, your wife's cute.
Speaker AWhy don't, why don't me and you have, have co husbandry of her?
Speaker AAnd, and a lot of just, you know, he kept pulling that stunt on people and a lot of people Got fed up with him, and he split his own little denomination.
Speaker AAnd a lot of people went, like, left his town.
Speaker AHe had his own town in Illinois, okay, of like 10,000 people.
Speaker AAnd he had a.
Speaker AHe said, okay, we're going to have.
Speaker AI forget the name of the town, but he said, we're going to have our own town.
Speaker AEverybody's going to be here.
Speaker AWe'll have, like a commune.
Speaker AAnd I'm going to need a bunch of you men to kind of volunteer to be the military of this thing, Kind of like just to be the military protectors of it.
Speaker AWell, he had 2,500 men.
Speaker AOut of that, 10,000 people came forward and said, we'll be the military.
Speaker AAnd somebody in Washington got whiffed that there's a man over in Illinois that's got a standing army of 2,500 people, which at that point could have been very, very much a rival to the Continental U.S.
Speaker Aamerican army at that time.
Speaker AAnd that didn't sit well with a lot of people there.
Speaker AI was like, what is happening with this guy?
Speaker AAnd then, you know, so he's a warlord.
Speaker AHe's so powerful.
Speaker AHe, you know, and he's literally having every man's wife that he wants.
Speaker AI mean, just insane.
Speaker AWell, a lot of people left the town and went to the town over.
Speaker AThis man is crazy.
Speaker AThis man is like.
Speaker ADavid Koresh has nothing on Joseph Smith.
Speaker ALike, nothing on this guy.
Speaker ANeither does Jim Jones.
Speaker AThese people.
Speaker ALike, this man was insane.
Speaker ASo he split his denomination.
Speaker AThey went over to a town over.
Speaker AThey bought a printing press and started printing the things that Joseph Smith was doing and distributing this stuff to the local people.
Speaker AWell, Joseph Smith sent that standing army over there to take over that printing press.
Speaker AThey arrested the men who print that stuff and broke that printing press to pieces.
Speaker AAnd the governor of Illinois found out about it and had Joseph Smith and his brother arrested.
Speaker AAnd when they did that, Joseph Smith was waiting trial.
Speaker AWell, the word got out, okay, he's in jail, and he's got an army of 2,500 men.
Speaker AThey're just going to go break him out of jail and bring him back in.
Speaker ASo let's go get him before that happens.
Speaker ASo a couple hundred men showed up to the jail.
Speaker AThey started, you know, trying to break into the jail to get to Joseph Smith.
Speaker AAnd they got into the jail cell, they killed Joseph Smith's brother.
Speaker AJoseph Smith had a pistol that he had been able to smuggle in there.
Speaker AHe shot and killed two guys and then was able to break out the window.
Speaker AAnd he jumped out of the window of the second story, landed on the ground.
Speaker AAnd when he got there on the ground that those couple hundred men just blew him to pieces, shot him hundreds of times, and he died right there.
Speaker AAnd so that's American history for you.
Speaker AOkay?
Speaker AThat's the end of Joseph Smith.
Speaker ADo you want to follow that religion?
Speaker ADo you want to follow this man?
Speaker AI mean, this is, this is Mormonism.
Speaker AThis is what people are into.
Speaker AAnd I don't know how you could say that that's not slightly problematic, but here we are.
Speaker BPlease hold.
Speaker ASir.
Speaker BThis is a Wendy's.
Speaker BWe'll be right back after this commercial break.
Speaker AOh, boy.
Speaker AYeah.
Speaker BOkay, so no would be.
Speaker ASorry, I've been sick.
Speaker BI'm killing Spencer.
Speaker BOkay.
Speaker AOkay.
Speaker BWell, that's, I've, that's wild.
Speaker BAnd no, I don't think I'd like to belong to that religion.
Speaker BAnd it's funny because I, like just this morning, it's funny.
Speaker BThis came up, I was listening to a sermon by Jeff Durbin of Apologia Church from this past week about some passages in Proverbs, God's sovereign will.
Speaker BAnd so Apologia Church has done a long term outreach to Mormons in the Mesa Tempe Chandler area, where the church is.
Speaker BAnd, and Pastor Jeff was talking about how Joseph Smith and the, the Mormon community at the time paid a lot of money to buy some Egyptian papyrus called the Book of Abraham.
Speaker BAnd he claimed to have translated it because Egyptian was a dead language.
Speaker BAnd then years later they found the Rosetta Stone so they could actually interpret, you know, what the, what the thing says.
Speaker BAnd he got like none of it, right?
Speaker AYeah, completely none.
Speaker BAnd some of, and some of those pyri.
Speaker BSome of those translations are still in this book called the Quad today.
Speaker BLike they're still using these false.
Speaker BI was, I found that astounding, especially because I'm seeing a rising tide of Mormonism on X a little bit.
Speaker BLike, I've got a number of guys that I follow that are professed Mormons and you know, some of them are quite good accounts.
Speaker BRight.
Speaker BBut I didn't know about any of this, any of this stuff.
Speaker BAnd.
Speaker BYeah, please, go ahead.
Speaker ANo, the.
Speaker AWell, Mormonism too.
Speaker AAnother thing you got to understand about them.
Speaker AAnd they don't tell you this on the surface, but you get they believe in Heavenly Father, but they also believe in Heavenly Mother.
Speaker ASo there's your divine feminine goddess woman.
Speaker AThey believe in her.
Speaker AAnd they are a mystery cult.
Speaker AThat's exactly what they are.
Speaker AAnd for Dallas Jenkins to say these people worship the Same Jesus that evangelical Christians do is just not a statement of fact.
Speaker AIt's just not.
Speaker ASo he's either a liar or a fool, or he's both to say that, and I think he's both.
Speaker ABut Mormonism is not your friend.
Speaker AIt's the enemy of Christianity.
Speaker AIt's the enemy of anybody who wants to go to heaven.
Speaker AAbsolutely.
Speaker AIt's the enemy of the gospel.
Speaker AAnd I'm blown away at how bad this wicked religion is.
Speaker AThese people get into stuff.
Speaker AIt's sad watching them get into that.
Speaker BYeah.
Speaker BIt's also a religion about deification of the self.
Speaker BRight.
Speaker BLike, you become your own God.
Speaker BYou mentioned, like, no man's sky.
Speaker BI mean, I can.
Speaker BI guess I can understand how that would be appealing.
Speaker BI just don't know how you call that Christianity.
Speaker AWell, you know, I mean, that's what people do.
Speaker AThey.
Speaker AThey.
Speaker AAnd they do Romans 1.
Speaker AThey create a God in their own image, into their own likeness, however they want to make him.
Speaker AAnd if.
Speaker AIf he's the God of Christianity, then he is, because you say so, but you have no biblical reason to say that.
Speaker AAnd there's a lot of people out there saying this is, you know, Jesus wouldn't have done that.
Speaker AAnd they don't even know what they're talking about.
Speaker AAnd, you know, like, kind of like Jelly Roll, that.
Speaker AThat singer out there, I saw him on the Flagrant podcast.
Speaker AHe was attacking the local church today, and he said that if Jesus was around today, he'd be sitting.
Speaker AHe'd be have.
Speaker AHe'd have prostitutes in his lap, and he'd be riding around him with a Harley everywhere he went.
Speaker BJelly Roll said that?
Speaker AJelly Roll said that a man named.
Speaker BJelly Roll would say that?
Speaker AYeah, absolutely.
Speaker AI mean, guy with face tattoos all over him looks like the.01% of germs that Lysol can't kill.
Speaker AYou know, saying.
Speaker AMaking theological statements about who Jesus Christ is.
Speaker AI'm sorry, I'm just not buying that.
Speaker AThank you very much.
Speaker AAnd goodness gracious, man.
Speaker ABut that's what.
Speaker AThat's what they're doing.
Speaker ARomans 1, he's talking about, you know, they.
Speaker AThey created a God into the likeness of man.
Speaker AAnd really what they've done is they've.
Speaker AThey've created a God in the likeness of themselves and ultimately have made themselves God in a sense.
Speaker BThat's.
Speaker BI mean, I.
Speaker BI remember there was a post on Instagram about Jelly Roll making Christian sounding noises, and I'm like, I don't.
Speaker BI don't know that this guy knows what he's talking about.
Speaker BAnd I got so many hate comments in response to that.
Speaker BIt's amazing how.
Speaker BHow.
Speaker AYeah.
Speaker BHow far to the mat people will go to defend celebrity quote, air quotes, professions of faith.
Speaker BThey'll go hard on that.
Speaker AWell, I'll tell you why that is.
Speaker AThat's because evangelicalism is too worldly and evangelicalism is not separated enough.
Speaker AThat's one of the reasons why I call myself fundamentalist, is because I don't.
Speaker AI don't believe there is a such thing as Christian rap and Christian rock.
Speaker AI don't.
Speaker AI just don't think there is a such thing.
Speaker BRight there with you.
Speaker AYeah.
Speaker AAnd I think John Cooper's not a good man.
Speaker AI don't think.
Speaker AI do not think this man needs to be an authority on anything spiritual or theological or biblical.
Speaker AThe man.
Speaker AThe man doesn't know what he's talking about.
Speaker AHe lives a life that has disqualified himself from any of that.
Speaker APublic discourse need to be had.
Speaker ABut evangelicalism is okay with that.
Speaker AThey think we can merge holy things with worldly things, and therefore we kind of create this gray matter in the middle between the black and the white.
Speaker AAnd God's in that too.
Speaker AAnd that right there is so completely dangerous because that's how the New Age works.
Speaker AThe New Age is like the Borg from Star Trek.
Speaker AThey merge everything together into what.
Speaker AThat's what theosophy was, is just mishmash.
Speaker AAll the religions together and let's just find the good things in them and just believe that.
Speaker AAnd it's hard.
Speaker AIf I were to say evangelicalism, although it maintains on paper a form of orthodox theological views, but in practice actually practices very similarly to the occult.
Speaker AIf I were to say that, I don't know if that'd be exactly right, but it wouldn't be way off because these people just.
Speaker AIt's like the.
Speaker AAnd one.
Speaker AAnd this manifests itself in many different ways.
Speaker ABut one of the ways, when Kanye west got saved, they went after me as if I was like, I think they would have had more grace with Jason and the Nightmare on Elm Street, Freddy Krueger.
Speaker AI mean, I.
Speaker AI was public enemy number one saying, hey, I don't think Kanye's saved.
Speaker AI think he's a.
Speaker AI think he's into some sort of weird stuff with his mind.
Speaker AHe probably just having a bipolar swing into religiosity.
Speaker AAnd it's not time to really get excited about this guy.
Speaker ALet's just give him some time to see if he figures all this out and.
Speaker AAnd look where he is today.
Speaker AThe man's posting all kinds of filth all over the Internet.
Speaker AYou know, the man's in bad, bad shape.
Speaker AAnd so, you know, that's, that's the problem today is that we, we, we have too broad of a definition of what Christian is, and we don't have a biblical definition of what Christian is.
Speaker AAnd that gets a lot of Christians today in trouble.
Speaker AJust follow what the Bible says.
Speaker AThe biblical Christianity will not be cool ever.
Speaker AIt will not.
Speaker AYou, you, you will not be popular.
Speaker AYou will not be, you know, they're not going to ask you to perform at the Grammys if you believe the Bible as it's, as is written, okay?
Speaker AAnd that's just what I want people to know.
Speaker AAnd that's just, that's a, that's just a statement of biblical fact.
Speaker AThat's all that is.
Speaker ASorry.
Speaker BNo, I fully agree with you.
Speaker BI think you mentioned theosophy earlier.
Speaker BAnd the one religion that theosophy can't synthesize, syncretize is Biblical Christianity.
Speaker BIt can't swallow it, it can't digest it.
Speaker BThe scriptures cannot be broken.
Speaker BBut that doesn't mean they're not going to try.
Speaker BAnd this has always been my point, particularly with Russell Brand, though plenty of others, that the real danger of these celebrity professions of faith is that they don't know what they're talking about, right?
Speaker BAnd let's, let's give them the benefit of the doubt that they're sincere.
Speaker BI don't know that they always deserve it, but let's give them that benefit of the doubt, even if they don't know what they're talking about.
Speaker BThe temptation that they will face is if biblical Christianity is not going to be popular and they're invested in their popularity, they will soften their Christianity to admit new ideas.
Speaker BAnd these men and women with these giant platforms will say, I'm a Christian, right, for however many months.
Speaker BAnd they say, and I also think abortion is okay.
Speaker BAnd the millions of people who follow them will be like, well, this celebrity said it, so abortion must be okay.
Speaker BThose fundamentalists over there clearly don't know what they're talking about.
Speaker BAnd so theosophy, the new age, whatever you want to call it, will find its way through the back door into the church.
Speaker BAnd people will get so attached to their celebrity idol, their celebrity icon, that severing themselves from that worldliness will be a cut too deep.
Speaker BAnd that's, that's the real risk that I see the church facing.
Speaker BOne of them, anyway.
Speaker AYeah, absolutely.
Speaker AAnd, and, and brother, what was his name?
Speaker ATim Tebow.
Speaker AA couple years ago did a book, and I bought the book and I read the book.
Speaker AI hadn't read nothing from Tim Tebow in a long time.
Speaker AIt was the most nonsense bunch of nothing I.
Speaker AI'd read from any professing Christian in a long time.
Speaker AThe gospel was not present.
Speaker AThe gospel was not there.
Speaker AAnd I just read a book saying that this is generic spirituality.
Speaker AThere's a great life.
Speaker AYou can have this amazing life if you'll just work hard and you'll just follow your dreams and if you'll just get up every morning and just get to work, and don't let the naysayers tell you you're wrong, and don't let people tell you that you can't have the life that you want.
Speaker AListen, you have got to.
Speaker AYou've got one life, and you got to go live this amazing, powerful life that you want to live.
Speaker AAnd if you'll do that at your deathbed, you'll say, that was awesome.
Speaker AI lived a great life.
Speaker AI did amazing things.
Speaker AAnd I'm reading this book saying, this is not biblical Christianity.
Speaker AThis is generic gobbledygook that makes you feel good, okay?
Speaker AAnd if Tim Tebow, I mean, I'm sitting there saying, this guy is like, every Southern Baptist homeschool kid in the world wants to be this guy, okay?
Speaker AIf every Southern Baptist father of a teenage daughter wishes the man would give his right arm if his daughter would marry a Tim Tebow, okay?
Speaker AThey exalt this man to where he's an amazing figure.
Speaker AHe is like the poster boy of evangelicalism.
Speaker ABut what he's saying is not even biblical.
Speaker AWhat he's saying is just flat out stupid.
Speaker AAnd I'm just like, you know, and it's hard.
Speaker ALike, I believe you ought to get up and chase your dreams, and I believe you ought to go and ignore the naysayers and go find a goal and go give your life to something, I think that's fine.
Speaker ABut if you detach that from Christian theology is not fine.
Speaker AThat's just humanism.
Speaker AAnd I think that's what Tim Tebow has gotten into, and I think that's what he preaches.
Speaker ABut the people in the pews that are reading these books and are saying, this is a good book, they don't know what Christianity is either, because they go to a church that Christianity is not being taught.
Speaker AIt is this vague form of positivity, of fleshly worldliness, of, ooh, rah, rah, go find your dreams.
Speaker AGo live your best life.
Speaker ANow, as Joel Osteen so wonderfully put it, and it's New age spirituality.
Speaker AIt's not Christianity at all.
Speaker AAnd I think there is a grand conspiracy.
Speaker ABrother Will Spencer.
Speaker AThere is a grand conspiracy afoot where the hard hitting theological truths of Christianity have slowly been pushed out the back and they've been replaced with these very positive, very sweet, generic spiritual statements that are not based in biblical truths.
Speaker AAnd I mean, look, go look at the life of the Apostle Paul and tell me that man was living some sort of prosperity gospel lifestyle.
Speaker AI just think you're crazy if you find that there.
Speaker AYou got to smoke a lot of dope to be able to find that in your scriptures because it's not there.
Speaker AAnd these, these people who are into this stuff, I don't think they're Christians.
Speaker AI just don't.
Speaker AI.
Speaker AThey are plugged into a different outlet than I am.
Speaker AAnd I'm not saying everybody who disagrees with me is not saved, but I'm just saying these people are so bad on so much.
Speaker AIt really makes me wonder.
Speaker AAnd I think that going forward we're going to see a lot of problems with this type of stuff because you can't.
Speaker AAnd I put this in my book, it's called Thumper Theology.
Speaker AIf you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all.
Speaker AWell, if you can't say anything negative about anything ever, you can't preach the Bible.
Speaker AYou just can't.
Speaker AAnd I mean, I read the book of 1 Corinthians when I first got saved and I was amazed at how much he scorched those people over sexual sin publicly.
Speaker AAnd I mean even even called out specific situations.
Speaker AAnd I'm sure when that church read that letter, they knew exactly what he was talking about.
Speaker AAnd so I'm amazed at how direct it was and how, how the emphasis was on holiness and the emphasis was not off.
Speaker AGo, go live your best life.
Speaker AGo chase your dreams.
Speaker AGo make it happen.
Speaker AOoh, rah rah.
Speaker ATim Tebow in some ways has become an agent of Satan in that sense that he's traded biblical Christianity for something positive and sweet and nice that sounds really good and make you, it pretends like it'll give you a fulfilled life, but it's just not.
Speaker AIt's just not biblical Christianity.
Speaker AAnd that's the problem with these guys.
Speaker AThey're so close, but they're so far.
Speaker ADoes that make sense?
Speaker BIt makes perfect sense.
Speaker BIt's like Jordan Peterson, right?
Speaker BLike he can speak.
Speaker BHe obviously is familiar with the Western canon and scripture, but what he does is he takes biblical Christianity and Filters it through a Jungian lens and interprets it all as some myth that's trying to guide us to some inner truth.
Speaker BAnd it's like, yeah, bro, no.
Speaker BHow can you read, how can you read the Bible and walk away with that?
Speaker BIt's just, it's baffling to me.
Speaker AYeah, he is the master allegorizer of the scripture.
Speaker AAnd, you know, Abraham and Isaac was, was a, wasn't an actual event.
Speaker AIt was more like a spiritual state of being that you got to sacrifice your Isaac, you know, so that you can please the greater good.
Speaker AI'm like, what is.
Speaker AYou know, and he's like, you got to get up every day, you got to make your bed and go sacrifice your comfort on the altar of losing weight so that you can have a greater good in your life.
Speaker AI'm like, oh, my goodness.
Speaker AThis is the most Canadian mystical nonsense I've ever heard.
Speaker APretty good impression with bad theology here is what he is.
Speaker AI'm blown away.
Speaker AJordan, sit down.
Speaker AStop talking about the Bible.
Speaker AAnd I know that Jeremy boreing over there, the Daily Wire is probably in your ears saying, talk about the Bible.
Speaker AWe are in Nashville here, bro.
Speaker AWe got to talk about, you know, we got to talk about this Jesus stuff.
Speaker AWe're living here in Nashville.
Speaker AAnd I mean, but I'm just like, he's so bad.
Speaker ABut, you know, and I'm not saying Jordan Peterson's wrong on everything.
Speaker AI've listened to him on a couple things, and I thought that was pretty insightful about human behavior and, you know, and underlying causes and psychological type stuff.
Speaker AAnd I think that's very interesting.
Speaker AFascinating, because I, you know, I was going to be a policeman, so human behavior has always been something I've kind of studied and watched and underlying causes of why people behave the way they do.
Speaker AThat's always been an interest of mine.
Speaker AI think Jordan Peterson has said some very interesting things in that regard.
Speaker ABut when he gets in the Bible, he becomes an enemy of the gospel very quickly.
Speaker AAnd I, I have no confidence.
Speaker AAnything theological coming out of that man's mouth.
Speaker ANo, sir, not at all.
Speaker BHe was doing that stuff back before he became really big, like in 2016, 2017.
Speaker BThat's when he did his original series of Genesis lectures, which it was just a small town, small time Canadian professor at one the somewhere in Toronto giving a lecture to a few thousand people.
Speaker BIt just did very well on YouTube, millions of views, et cetera.
Speaker BI don't know that everyone watched it and understood all of it, because I would be.
Speaker BI was on a road trip at the time.
Speaker BAnd so I'd be listening to those lectures and I would have to back it up and listen to things again.
Speaker BBut it's one thing for a small town, I've said this many times, it's one thing for a small time Canadian professor to talk about the stuff when he was just about to get subject to massive cancellation from around the world.
Speaker BRight.
Speaker BSo he was not a big deal at the time.
Speaker BIt's very different to bring that same attitude when he's probably the world's number one public intellectual right now.
Speaker BSo he's dusting off his, his, his material from, say, his first album to a much bigger audience.
Speaker BAnd I just, I don't think it's holding up as well as it did back then when fewer people were paying attention to it.
Speaker ARight, right.
Speaker AAnd, and, and what you said is very important to understand about Jordan Peterson.
Speaker AHe's filtering everything he knows through a union mindset.
Speaker AAnd Carl Jung was agnostic, and people don't know that about this man.
Speaker AThis man was practicing mystery religion as he was.
Speaker AAnd, you know, he's talking about the Abraxas and all that type stuff.
Speaker AAnd the man by pure definition was a pure Gnostic.
Speaker AHe was an enemy of the gospel.
Speaker AAnd him and Freud both were terrible.
Speaker AYou know, if you're going to be theologically sound, you're going to have to avoid those two black holes of error right there.
Speaker ASo I think he's kind of trying to be a voice for Christianity, but he's tainted by Gnosticism.
Speaker AAnd that makes him like, I think if the Apostle Paul wrote a letter to the American church right now, I think Jordan Peterson would be told to stay away from by name because he's just not good.
Speaker ABut everybody's like, but I like him.
Speaker AHe's on our side, he's on the Republican side, and he's a member of the Daily Wire and they stand for America and freedom.
Speaker AAnd, and that's the, that's the danger of all this stuff.
Speaker AYeah, we probably vote the same, but we don't believe the same when it comes to the Bible.
Speaker BThat's right.
Speaker AAnd so that, and that's, that's where people get, there's just so shallow today.
Speaker AThey just, you know, like, I can believe in Donald Trump being a good president without making him a good theologian.
Speaker AYou know what I mean?
Speaker AAnd as theologian.
Speaker AOh, yeah.
Speaker AAs a theologian, he's laughably, insanely.
Speaker AI mean, 2 Corinthians, you know, I know the Bible I love.
Speaker ANobody loves the Bible more than me.
Speaker ABy the way, I've never asked for forgiveness of my sin.
Speaker AYou know, I don't even go to church.
Speaker AAnd I go, okay, whatever, I mean, I'll vote for you.
Speaker AJust, just go, just go fix the economy and leave me alone, man.
Speaker AAnd so that's what I want him to do.
Speaker ABut yeah, I mean that's, that's the problem.
Speaker APeople today, we, I think it goes back to evangelicalism being too obsessed with, with celebrities.
Speaker AAnd I've even heard Todd Friel say that we, we engage the culture so much, we became the culture.
Speaker BWretched radio.
Speaker AYeah, I think he even said that.
Speaker AAnd for him to say that, I thought was a big deal, but I do think so.
Speaker AI think evangelicals are too celebrity driven and not truth driven and principle driven.
Speaker AAnd that leaves them open to swallowing things that they should, should never accept because a celebrity like Russell Brand said so.
Speaker BThat's right.
Speaker AAnd, and that's, that's all good.
Speaker AAnd I, I, you know, like you got guys like Michael Knowles, Russell Brand, Jordan Peterson, I mean, I would even say Alex Jones are all saying things about God in the Bible that are completely dangerously heretical, like way off the ranch heretical.
Speaker ABut right wing evangelicals are like, yeah, it's America.
Speaker AYep, that's, that's right.
Speaker AThat's right.
Speaker AI'm like, no, that's not right.
Speaker AThat's not right.
Speaker AAnd then they look at me like I'm the killjoy and I'm just the mean old legalistic pharisaical fundamentalist Baptist preacher who drinks too much coffee and says too much on the Internet.
Speaker AAnd so that's all.
Speaker ABut that's what people do to me.
Speaker BThey might have a point there though.
Speaker AThat might be half true.
Speaker AWhatever.
Speaker BOkay, so, so I want to get back to third item too.
Speaker BBut though here's, I want to ask one quick question and then we'll get back to the series of films.
Speaker BSo when I object to a lot of these new professions of faith, whether it be Russell Brand or Nala being another one, that we don't have to focus on her.
Speaker BThe, I get a lot of pushback saying don't quench the spirit.
Speaker BYou know, they're so close.
Speaker BWho are you to judge their sanctification?
Speaker BOnly God to judge the heart.
Speaker BYou know, it's the same stuff that I get over and over again.
Speaker BAnd you know, look, I don't know where they're at on their road of sanctification.
Speaker BI don't have that vision.
Speaker BBut I know that they're saying things that desperately need to be Corrected.
Speaker BAnd that they don't appear to be seeking correction in their own lives.
Speaker BI've said many times about Russell Brand, I don't know if his profession of faith is sincere, but I do know that the man has a ton of money and influence and he can pick up the phone and call literally anybody or take a year off and just read to understand the Christian faith.
Speaker BAnd he's not doing that.
Speaker BAnd so I think that that's a fair critique.
Speaker BWhat's your response to the people that immediately rush to the defense of these celebrities?
Speaker AHere's what I want to tell.
Speaker AAnd it's a hard hitting truth that everybody's here, okay?
Speaker ACelebrities are very stupid people.
Speaker BI don't disagree.
Speaker ACelebrities are morons, okay?
Speaker AThey're stupid.
Speaker AThey are dumb humans, room IQ temperature, mouth breathing Neanderthals who, Who might be extremely good looking.
Speaker AOkay, okay, don't let me interrupt.
Speaker AAnd for us to get excited about them contributing to the intellectual discourse of our age is folly, okay?
Speaker AAnd I'm sorry, I can't.
Speaker AI'm sorry, I'm sorry.
Speaker AOkay?
Speaker BIt's like we're doing a skit and we just can't keep it.
Speaker AThis is like an SNL skit gone wrong.
Speaker AI mean, they.
Speaker AAre they just dumb people, Okay?
Speaker AI mean, who really wants to get their, their worldview from Taylor Swift?
Speaker AI mean, for real.
Speaker AI mean, I mean, I don't look to anything on the View and say, man, that's a powerhouse of intellectual value right there, you know?
Speaker AAnd these are dumb.
Speaker AThese are dumb people.
Speaker AThese are fallen, depraved, low character people who have nothing to offer.
Speaker AI mean, like, you look at Drake and his stupidity.
Speaker AI mean, the man makes a living going like this online and, you know, just, he just, he acts like he's like a completely.
Speaker AI don't know, I just like, I, I don't.
Speaker AThese people are not worth anything.
Speaker AOkay?
Speaker ASo why are we.
Speaker AWhy are we glad to hear them?
Speaker AThey bring nothing to the table other than it may be a cute face and maybe they've been on a few TV screens that we've noticed in our life, but being famous doesn't mean that you're smart and it doesn't mean that you know what you're talking about, okay?
Speaker ATom Cruise is a member of the Church of Scientology and so is John Travolta.
Speaker AAnd you know, these people are morons and they're, you know, they profess to be wise, but they.
Speaker AWhile they profess to be wise, they themselves became fools.
Speaker AAnd I think, I think, you know, you can put whatever medal all over them and award all over them and just, you know, put them on whatever red carpet you want to.
Speaker ABut if they're an idiot before God, they're just a fool.
Speaker AAnd so keep that in mind.
Speaker AI like the idea that when the apostle Paul got saved, he went to the desert of Arabia for three years and sat with the Lord and learned.
Speaker AOkay.
Speaker AAnd then when he came back, the early church didn't want nothing to do with him because he was a man who captured and killed Christians.
Speaker AAnd it wasn't until, I believe it was Andrew sat with him and talked to him.
Speaker AI believe his disciple Andrew, and verified and vetted him, said, I think he's okay.
Speaker AWhy don't we just give him a shot?
Speaker ALet's talk to him.
Speaker AThen he kind of.
Speaker AExcuse me.
Speaker AThen he kind of went to the church and got involved with them.
Speaker AAnd then he started serving in the local church at Antioch.
Speaker AAnd then after a few years of service in his local church, we're talking, I don't know how many years, like, six years after his conversion.
Speaker AThen the Holy Spirit says, separate me, Paul and Barnabas, for the work unto.
Speaker AI've called them Acts, chapter 13, verse number one and two there.
Speaker AAnd Russell Brand's not doing that.
Speaker AKanye west did not do that.
Speaker ANala's not doing that.
Speaker AThese people need to sit down and be quiet and learn something and then sit under spiritual authority and then be vetted.
Speaker AAnd then from there, maybe you can bring something to the conversation.
Speaker ABut just because you got million dollars in the bank and got a few Golden Globes and you got an Oscar, you got something like that does not make you an authority on anything.
Speaker ANo more than.
Speaker AOkay, let's just say.
Speaker AOkay, let's just say hypothetically.
Speaker AHypothetically, you got.
Speaker ALet's say, Dwayne Johnson, the Rock.
Speaker AOkay, let's say hypothetically, he wants to go join a Taekwondo gym.
Speaker AAll right?
Speaker AHe's big, he's strong, he's been a movie star.
Speaker ABut you put that man in a Taekwondo tournament with black belts, he's going to get killed because he doesn't know anything.
Speaker AThe man needs to go sit and be a white belt, and he needs to learn something.
Speaker AHe needs to learn his basic Haya Haya type stuff and his kicks, and he needs to learn how to block, and he's learning the whole system of everything.
Speaker AAnd then maybe once he learns something, we can put him in and let him compete a little bit.
Speaker AI would say the same with jiu Jitsu.
Speaker AI've done jiu Jitsu.
Speaker AI did it for years and I'm kind of out of it now, but I know enough to know that if you put me into an interment with black belts, I'm going to get killed.
Speaker AAnd it doesn't matter how many YouTube subscribers I have or how famous I am, how much money I am or whatever I have.
Speaker AYou get on that mat, you're going to get hurt if you don't know anything.
Speaker AAnd these people are actually out there competing for Christ in the public arena and they don't even have a white belt.
Speaker AThey're not even taking the first theology class.
Speaker AThey don't even know what they're talking about.
Speaker AAnd, and they're making a mess of everything.
Speaker AAnd, and it's not good.
Speaker AI think they need to be sat down.
Speaker AThey need to be quiet for a long time and learn just like anybody else had to.
Speaker BI agree.
Speaker BI'm really looking forward to our next podcast when I find out what you really think.
Speaker AYeah, I'm sorry.
Speaker AI just.
Speaker AI apologize.
Speaker AJust forgive me.
Speaker AI'm not, I'm not well.
Speaker AAnd I've laid in bed for six, seven days with the flu.
Speaker AA.
Speaker AAnd I'm.
Speaker AI've had all this pin up rage and anger.
Speaker ALast night's live was a disaster, by the way.
Speaker AI lost like 30 subscribers on my channel and, and it was just.
Speaker AI'm trying over here.
Speaker ABrother Will.
Speaker APray for me.
Speaker BI will.
Speaker BWhat did you do last night on the live.
Speaker BI was on the live stream for a little bit.
Speaker BWhat did you do?
Speaker BDid I miss that?
Speaker AOh, I just talked about things and, and just people didn't like what I had to say and.
Speaker ABrother, I'm telling you, every time I do a live stream, I lose subscribers.
Speaker AEvery time.
Speaker BTime it's supposed to go the other way.
Speaker AI know it's the opposite.
Speaker AEvery, every time I do live streams, I'll like have like 25:38 when I start my live stream and then I'll set it down, I'll do my live stream, I'll pick it back up and I'll have 20,462 and I've like lost 90 subscribers.
Speaker ALike, what did I do?
Speaker BYou didn't need them anyway.
Speaker AI know, they just dead weight, I guess.
Speaker BWe'll send some of mine over to you.
Speaker BOkay, so.
Speaker BSo let's go back.
Speaker BLet's go back to the film.
Speaker BSo we talked about, about Third Adam One and that led us on.
Speaker AI'm sorry, this has been, this has been the most radical ADD live stream I've ever done, Brother.
Speaker AI'm sorry.
Speaker BOh, you're right.
Speaker BBut it's wonderful.
Speaker BNo, this is, this is, this is a lot of fun.
Speaker BThis is.
Speaker BI'm loving this.
Speaker BSo, so, so we, so we talked about.
Speaker BLet's talk about Third Adam two.
Speaker BI think you said Third Adam two was the one that was about paganism and kind of how paganism functions a little bit.
Speaker BSo the third item one was a little bit about this new Apostolic Reformation, seven Mountain mandates, you know, some of, some of, some of the.
Speaker BThe heretical ideas within the Church that are masquerading about Christianity.
Speaker BAnd so from there, what was, what was Third Adam two about?
Speaker BLike sort of jumping off of.
Speaker BFrom the first one.
Speaker AOkay, Third Adam two, I wanted to strike in the heart of, of paganism.
Speaker ANow what I did is I took the ideas.
Speaker AThere's a man named Alexander Hislop, and a lot of people don't agree with what Hislop has said about paganism and stuff like that.
Speaker AAnd Hislop basically tried to.
Speaker ATo prove the idea that the Catholic Church is a merger of Christianity and ancient paganism is what he tried to do.
Speaker AAnd a lot of people criticize his work.
Speaker AA matter of.
Speaker AEven Wesley Huff criticizes his work very viciously.
Speaker AAnd the problem with criticizing Hislop is that Hislop tries to articulate mystery religion.
Speaker ABut mystery religion is a moving target.
Speaker AIt's all over the place.
Speaker ASo it may, in this century it might have been this, but in this century it's probably this and this century is this.
Speaker ASo it's kind of a moving target.
Speaker ATarget.
Speaker ABut I think he got the basics down.
Speaker ABut one thing that I looked at in his work and tried to look at today was the idea of Nimrod, Semiramis and Tammuz, the pagan trinity.
Speaker AAnd I think that largely he's correct on that concept.
Speaker AI think that Nimrod had a consortus named Semiramis.
Speaker AI think that's historically accurate.
Speaker AAnd I think that.
Speaker AThat Nimrod died and that in order to keep the worship of Nimrod going, she had a baby and that was named Semiramis.
Speaker AAnd that Semiramis was considered the reincarnation of Nimrod.
Speaker AAnd so basically their religion was created where we worshiped a mother and the sun deity figure who was the reincarnation of Nimrod.
Speaker AAnd we could call him Semiramis.
Speaker AAnd basically that became a pagan version religion of Christianity, if you.
Speaker AIf we just put it that way, like a pagan goddess worship the mother and son.
Speaker AThere was a religion where they worship the divine mother and The Holy Son.
Speaker AAnd that somehow weaved throughout history and kind of, I think that was BAAL worship.
Speaker ABAAL was the Sun.
Speaker APeople don't realize, but I think BAAL in the Old Testament was Simaramus.
Speaker AExcuse me, BAAL was, was Tammuz.
Speaker AAnd actually I think baal, you know, and Tammuz and Nimrod kind of have this overlapping thing.
Speaker AAnytime you see a man, a bull man, like a man with bull horns, big, strong ox man, that's a picture of Nimrod.
Speaker AAnd so BAAL was Nimrod.
Speaker AAshtoreth in the Old Testament was a picture of the goddess woman.
Speaker AIt was Semiramis in a sense.
Speaker AAnd so there you go.
Speaker ABut it kind of weaves itself all through history.
Speaker AAnd today you have Roman Catholicism, which we worship the Virgin Mother, we call her Mary instead of Semramas.
Speaker AAnd then we also have the divine Son that we call him Jesus instead of Tammuz.
Speaker ANow if you want to critique that idea, you have to remember in the book of Ezekiel, chapter number eight, I believe there were women weeping for Tammuz.
Speaker ASo this Tammuz worship was a thing, and it did exist.
Speaker AAnd by the way, that whole ashen cross that Catholics do on Ash Wednesday, that's not the cross of Calvary.
Speaker AThat's a T for Tammuz.
Speaker AThat's exactly what that is.
Speaker AAnd when the Catholic Church is taking pagan practices out of Ezekiel, chapter eight, and they're putting it in today's context and we're practicing this, calling it Ash Wednesday, somebody's missed the boat somewhere.
Speaker AAnd so that's exactly what is going on.
Speaker AAnd so how does that manifest itself today?
Speaker AWell, it manifests itself today in Roman Catholicism.
Speaker AAnd Roman Catholicism is probably the largest mystery cult in the world.
Speaker AAnd when these contemporary worship musicians are using the experience of this mystical gnosis like experience that they're getting from their casting crown CDs, and they're realizing that Catholics are having the same experience over there using contemporary worship, they can easily come together.
Speaker AAnd so what you have is the mystery cult of Roman Catholicism and left wing undiscerning evangelicals merging together and creating a new religion.
Speaker AAnd that's the danger of all this, is that they're literally walking into a one world mystery culture.
Speaker AAnd, and that's basically what we talked about trying to expose in Third Adam.
Speaker BTwo, making all the kinds of friends in the world.
Speaker BWe got Mormons, we got celebrity worshipers, we got Roman Catholics today.
Speaker AYeah.
Speaker BSo I, so I think you, as I recall you drew a lot of information from the, the Book of Enoch.
Speaker BRight.
Speaker BWhich is just not something that I'm familiar with.
Speaker BIs that.
Speaker BI mean, I've, of course, have heard of it.
Speaker BI've never read it.
Speaker BIs that considered a historical document?
Speaker BIt's not canonical scripture, but it, it seems to be quite influential in, in many circles who research these topics.
Speaker ANo, the Book of Enoch for anything.
Speaker AOh, okay.
Speaker AMe, I never.
Speaker AHave never touched it.
Speaker AI don't believe in it.
Speaker AI don't.
Speaker AI think it's a bunch of junk.
Speaker AI do not believe it's.
Speaker AIt's historically accurate.
Speaker AI don't think it's even.
Speaker AI've never used it.
Speaker ANever.
Speaker BOkay.
Speaker BOh, okay, great.
Speaker BThat's good.
Speaker BThat's good to know because I, I've.
Speaker BI've seen.
Speaker BI've seen it referenced in many similar research.
Speaker BMaybe not in yours, but I've seen it.
Speaker BResearch in similar research.
Speaker BOkay, so.
Speaker BSo this, this case that you were making within.
Speaker BWithin Roman Catholicism.
Speaker BTalk a little bit more about that because I think a lot of people would look at the.
Speaker BI don't think it's.
Speaker BIt's debatable that Roman Catholicism is.
Speaker BIs itself a syncretic tradition that it absorbs other aspects and it, quote, baptizes them and then.
Speaker BAnd then calls them Christians.
Speaker BSo to talk a little bit more about this because as I recall, some of the symbolisms present on the Sistine Chapel ceiling.
Speaker ACorrect.
Speaker AYeah.
Speaker AI mean, the.
Speaker AIn Third Adam three, we showed you how the Sistine Chapel, where, you know, you have God reaching out and touching the finger of Adam up in, Inside that.
Speaker AThat entity that we call God, there is.
Speaker AThere is a woman figure next to that God.
Speaker AWe'll call him God the Father.
Speaker AThere's a woman figure next to him, and then God the Father's finger is reaching out, touching the shoulder of a baby up there.
Speaker ASo you have.
Speaker AInside the Sistine Chapel, you have Nimrod, Semiramis and Tammuz there.
Speaker AAnd by the way, Michelangelo, who painted all that, was agnostic.
Speaker AThe man was not a Christian at all.
Speaker ASo the man's literally painting mystery, cult, religion on the ceiling.
Speaker AAnd everybody's like, oh, look at this.
Speaker AThis is one of the greatest Christian pieces of art ever done.
Speaker AAnd it's just not true.
Speaker AJust not true at all.
Speaker AAnd so it's.
Speaker AIt's very problematic is what we're trying to say there.
Speaker ASo we're going to be.
Speaker AWe're going be talking about that kind of stuff probably a bit more in the future as well.
Speaker BYeah.
Speaker BThere's been a lot of discussion lately about Mary being the Queen of Heaven as well.
Speaker BThat seems to go, that seems to go around on X from time to time lately.
Speaker BMore often lately actually.
Speaker AWell, I mean, if you remember in the book of Jeremiah there was a strong rebuke given to those who worshiped the Queen of Heaven.
Speaker AAnd the Queen of Heaven, Semiramis, that was Ashtoreth.
Speaker AAnd these people literally are worshiping BAAL and ashoreth and Satan, calling it God the Father the Mother Mary and God the Son Jesus.
Speaker AAll you got to do is just put a different name on it and call it, instead of calling it baal, let's just call him God the Father now.
Speaker AAnd ultimately you're still practicing the same religion even though you've put a different, you've put a different label on the name.
Speaker ABut that's what these people are doing.
Speaker AI think, think.
Speaker AI think the Roman Catholic clergy are the prophets of BAAL on Mount Carmel.
Speaker AThey are, they are, they are the modern day prophets of BAAL that Elijah opposed on Mount Carmel, crying and cutting themselves.
Speaker AI mean, you see these guys over in the Philippines, they'll, they'll put blades on a rope and they'll do this, you know, for days and hit themselves in their back and, and you just go, look that up.
Speaker AThat's a Roman Catholic thing.
Speaker AI think they do it for Lent and they, they'll, their, their backs will be bleeding for days doing this.
Speaker AAnd, and it's, it's a self flagellation, it's a form of penance.
Speaker AIt's exactly what the prophets of BAAL did on Mount Carmel.
Speaker AThe same thing.
Speaker AAnd, and so these, you know, these dudes walking around with black robes on and dressing like a, like a mother and they've never been married, don't have no kids and call themselves father.
Speaker AYou know, weird people like that, that they are the prophets of baal.
Speaker AThere's no question Biblically, they match up perfectly.
Speaker BThere was a video going around, I think it was last week about it was a big procession somewhere probably in Europe.
Speaker BThese men in black robes with very tall pointy hats carrying a giant beer or float or something.
Speaker BIt was, it was a crazy thing to see with all the incense.
Speaker BAnd I remember James White did a video about it and just you look at that and you sort of say these are the dangers of valuing tradition too highly.
Speaker AI thought they, I thought they were playing, that was on protestia and I thought they were playing a video clip of Elden Ring or something like that.
Speaker AThat's what I thought they were doing.
Speaker AI didn't realize that was A Roman Catholic procession.
Speaker BYeah.
Speaker ASo I'm like, yeah, I beat that.
Speaker AThat boss with my intelligence build on Elgin ring, you know, so.
Speaker ABut then I realized it was Roman Catholic, like.
Speaker AAnd so.
Speaker AI'm sorry, brother.
Speaker AI'm sorry.
Speaker ANo, I mean, look, it just.
Speaker BIt looks.
Speaker BIt like you look at that and you.
Speaker BAnd you say, that is many things, but can you really.
Speaker BCan you really call that Christian?
Speaker BRight?
Speaker BLike, and I don't mean to accuse the people doing it.
Speaker BLike, I don't.
Speaker BI'm not saying anything about their salvation.
Speaker BI just mean that you look at that and you say whatever that is grew out of something that is not the Bible.
Speaker BRight?
Speaker BIt grew out of something, some completely other thing that has now been syncretized into a.
Speaker BInto a global, in a sense, version of Christianity, but that departs radically from any message of the Gospel itself.
Speaker AYeah, yeah, sure, sure.
Speaker AAbsolutely does.
Speaker AAnd.
Speaker AAnd.
Speaker ABut it's the illusion of power.
Speaker AYou know, we hold this office of the Catholic Church, and we've been around a long time, so how could we be wrong?
Speaker AWell, you are.
Speaker AAnd there's something called the Bible that was around before you are, and we follow that rather than you guys.
Speaker AAnd we use the Bible as a standard of faith and practice.
Speaker AAnd I really think that's.
Speaker AThat's the thing today is that Christianity has got to be Bible based.
Speaker AOkay?
Speaker AI don't.
Speaker AI don't follow any creed.
Speaker AI mean, this whole 1689 creed that a lot of Baptists.
Speaker AI don't crawl.
Speaker AI don't follow no creed.
Speaker ACreed.
Speaker AI have a statement of faith on my website that helps you and people who look at me and want to understand where I fall on certain issues.
Speaker AI have that on there.
Speaker ABut I believe the Bible is the standard.
Speaker AAnd I throw all creeds out.
Speaker AI fall all traditions out.
Speaker AI throw everything out.
Speaker AAnd if it's in the Bible, I practice it.
Speaker AAnd we've got to make that the standard again, rather than.
Speaker AI heard a lot of men in the Baptist world say, John Rice did this.
Speaker AWell, I don't care what John Rice did.
Speaker AI want to know what the Bible teaches me to do do.
Speaker AAnd if we can just follow the Bible and not allow our eyes and influence and vision of theology to be tainted by institutions like the Catholic Church or other presuppositional things, then I think we could be okay.
Speaker ABut, you know, R.C.
Speaker Asproul said is no substitute for the Bible said.
Speaker AAnd as much respect I have for the man, you just can't.
Speaker AThe men are men.
Speaker ALet God be true and all men A liar.
Speaker AThat's what the Bible cleared teaches.
Speaker ASo I'm going to go with what the Bible says and just do that.
Speaker AAnd I think if everybody will develop that attitude, I think it'll cut out a lot of this nonsense that we're facing today.
Speaker AI think just let the Bible be the rule, the standard of faith and practice, which has always been a Baptist distinctive.
Speaker AOne of the reasons why I'm a Baptist.
Speaker AAnd if we can just follow that, I think we'll be a lot better off.
Speaker BAnd you're a Baptist.
Speaker BNot, not a Baptist.
Speaker BIt's a big difference.
Speaker AWell, yeah, I'm a big, big B.
Speaker ABaptist is what I call myself.
Speaker AAnd Baptist born Baptist bread.
Speaker AAnd when I die, I'll be baptized dead.
Speaker AAmen.
Speaker BSo can I get an amen?
Speaker AThat's right.
Speaker AThat's right.
Speaker AHere we go.
Speaker AHang on.
Speaker AThere we go.
Speaker BSo the sound effects have entered the chat.
Speaker AYes.
Speaker BOkay, so, so let's go from there into Third Adam and let's, let's do Third Adam three, Adam X.
Speaker BBecause it's just, it is a larger version of the same concept in, in Third Adam three with more information.
Speaker BBecause we talked about Mary and the Queen of Heaven and, and, and Semiramis and Tammuz.
Speaker BSo what, what was third?
Speaker BBecause this was the first thing that I saw was 3rd Adam 3 and 3x.
Speaker BWhat was that about?
Speaker BBecause that was why my friend showed it to me, because he heard me talk about my time in the new age and, and what's involved with that sort of feminism, the religion and so let's, let's talk about that film now.
Speaker AYeah, third item 3X.
Speaker AI expanded upon a lot of, a lot of ideas that we had in third item three.
Speaker ABut I want to try to, I wanted to try my best to expand upon the ideas of Goddess worship and things like that.
Speaker ALet's see here.
Speaker AI've just pulled up here on my screen and there was a lot of.
Speaker AWe talked about Gnosticism, but we also talked about the idea of, of just ways that it's.
Speaker AWays that this manifests itself in American culture.
Speaker AFor example, I believe with all my heart that the Statue of Liberty is a sign of mystery religion.
Speaker AAnd I've, I've done the research on it.
Speaker AI know what I'm talking about.
Speaker AWe, we articulated that in there and you know, we even talked about the Knights Templar.
Speaker AAnd that's something I think a lot of people don't really understand today is that the Knights Templar worshiped Satan.
Speaker AAnd that's, that's a big deal.
Speaker AAnd that's one of the reasons why I, I don't endorse like the Crusades and, and things like that.
Speaker ABecause the Crusades were, Crusades were quite frankly a, a example of bad religion.
Speaker AIt was really, what it was is Dominionism is what it was.
Speaker AAnd if these Christian nationalist guys get their way, that's there, that's what they're gonna be doing, you know, baptizing your babies by force.
Speaker AAnd that's not, that is not where we need to go.
Speaker AAnd so there's actually a section in Third Adam three, probably a two and a half hour mark.
Speaker AWe talk about something called the Atbash Cipher.
Speaker AAnd the Atbash Cipher was a cipher that they used to code all their messages amongst the, the Knights Templar and they worship something called the Sophia.
Speaker AAnd the Sophia was the, the mother goddess, the, the female holy spirit.
Speaker AWell, if you run the word Sophia through the Atbash cipher, you find that it translates to the word Baphomet.
Speaker AYeah.
Speaker BWow.
Speaker AThat's a real thing.
Speaker AAnd the Atbash cipher is not a very simple, it's not a very difficult thing to understand.
Speaker AAll you gotta do is just take A and just kind of flip the Alphabet underneath it.
Speaker ASo Z is A and then B is Y.
Speaker AIt's really a simple cipher.
Speaker ABut when they talk about the divine Sophia, you run through the Abash cipher, they're talking about the Baphomet.
Speaker AThat, and it's, it's, it's amazing how it worked like that.
Speaker ABut that's, that's what it did.
Speaker ABut the Knights Templars were, they were mystics, they were, they were in a sense what you would call X men.
Speaker AKind of deals like they were using spirit power to learn how to fight and to wage war.
Speaker AAnd then also we got into the idea of the, that you might appreciate this in Hinduism, something called the Nagas, which were the all wise serpent men who had not.
Speaker AYes.
Speaker AAnd, and you probably tell us a lot about that.
Speaker ABut we got into that.
Speaker AThey, they believe that there was a divine wisdom that you could have from a serpent.
Speaker AAnd even in, in a lot of Hindu takes, they believe that the book of Genesis, the serpent was the good guy and he rescued Adam and Eve from a prison called the Garden of Eden.
Speaker AAnd they straight up Luciferianism, that's exactly what it is.
Speaker ABut, but that's being practiced today in the sense that the prison that you're locked into is fundamentalism, Bible doctrine.
Speaker AAnd so we're going to release you from that prison, release you from the spirit of religion and Let you go fly free, little birdie into this new age, beautiful land of happiness that we live in.
Speaker AAnd that right there, in so many different words is being articulated from the pulpit of Stephen Furnish Church every week.
Speaker AAnd so does Bill Johnson.
Speaker AHe believes that too, but they just worded a little bit different.
Speaker ASo that's why we call this stuff out.
Speaker AThe Knights Templar is a great historical example of this because they claim to be Christian, and everybody kind of let their guard down and said, well, these are good Christian boys who just want to go fight for the kingdom.
Speaker AWhat's the problem with that?
Speaker ABut they were actually Luciferian psychos and caused a big problem in the world.
Speaker ASo that's where all that went.
Speaker AAnd third Adam three, we really dig into that stuff and I think it's powerful.
Speaker AI really enjoyed that one.
Speaker AI wasn't planning on making that one, but when I.
Speaker AWhen my audience found out, I left a little bit on the table from Third Adam three, they.
Speaker AThey insisted.
Speaker AThey insisted that I make it.
Speaker ASo I just.
Speaker AI'm a man of the people, brother.
Speaker AI did it for him, you know.
Speaker ASo we talked about the divine Sophia, we talked about Athens, we talked about Athena, we talked about Frigga, we talked about the ancient gods of Rome and Greece and things like that, and how all that applies today to the female Holy Spirit that's being used in churches today and being promoted in churches today.
Speaker AAnd very interesting little documentary, if I say so myself.
Speaker BI think so.
Speaker BWeren't the Knights Templar, Weren't they.
Speaker BWeren't they stealing mystical documents like the Corpus Hermeticum and stuff like that?
Speaker BAnd that's what led to the Medicis acquiring it, which contributed to the Renaissance?
Speaker BAnd weren't they the first ones to have.
Speaker BHave a bank that was issuing loans?
Speaker BIsn't that where usury came from, was the Templars?
Speaker AYeah, the Templars.
Speaker ABasically.
Speaker AOkay, you live in England, but you want to go to Jerusalem, you want to move to Jerusalem.
Speaker AWell, you got 500 pounds of gold.
Speaker AYou can't go through all through Europe and through, you know, the Middle east with all that.
Speaker AYou'll get killed.
Speaker ASo what you do is you give it all to the Templars, you let them have it, and they write you a cod, a check saying, this is how much gold you gave us, a certified check.
Speaker AYou just take that check to the Middle east and they just give you that much gold back.
Speaker AAnd so that's how their banking system started.
Speaker ABut they.
Speaker AThey would charge interest on that and they acquired massive amounts of wealth and.
Speaker AAnd it all disappeared whenever The King of France, you know, arrested all of them.
Speaker AI think it kind of went underground and I think modern day Rothschild, Bilderberg, that kind of crowd is in charge of all that type of wealth today.
Speaker AThat's just my opinion.
Speaker ABut yes, the Templars were Catholic mystics that went to the Middle east and kind of cross pollinated a little bit with the Sufi mystics.
Speaker AAnd I think that they realized they adopted some of their practices.
Speaker AAnd so a lot of these books that you're talking about, I think they did acquire a lot of that stuff and some of that did make its way back up into Europe and I think it further pushed people down the rabbit hole of mystery religion in the Catholic Church.
Speaker AAbsolutely.
Speaker ANow all the ins and outs of that I'm not totally sure, but definitely they cross pollinated with the Sufi mystics and I think there's.
Speaker AOh, I forget the name of the guy.
Speaker AHe's.
Speaker AI got him here in the documentary.
Speaker AThey put him in a Assassin's Creed video game.
Speaker AWhat is his name?
Speaker ABut they were, they were these Muslim assassins.
Speaker ANo, that doesn't ring a bell.
Speaker AThere were these Muslim assassins that used mystery religions and drugs and psychedelics to make themselves more powerful in battle.
Speaker AAnd the Knights Templars got to learn a lot of what they did.
Speaker AAnd then they learned the assassination game and they learned how to, rather than go in open battle, just kind of sneak around and kill people that way.
Speaker ALet's see, I'm trying to find it here in my, in my documentary.
Speaker BIsn't the Assassin's Creed games.
Speaker BAren't you killing the Templars?
Speaker BAren't you an assassin play that is.
Speaker BDoesn't your character kill the Templars?
Speaker AYeah, yeah, but, but you're, you're.
Speaker AIt's a little bit different angle of it, but yeah, you fight basically everybody.
Speaker ABut one of the, one of the main Muslim leaders that did all that, he was in, he was in that, the Assassin's Creed game.
Speaker AI'm trying to find it here.
Speaker ABut anyway, the, the whole idea of using drugs to create a superpower, using psychic type stuff to do tactical espionage upon your enemies is what the American CIA got to be doing in time.
Speaker AAnd so I think that the American government in some, in some ways is a continuation of the work of the Knights Templars.
Speaker AAnd that's a whole different rabbit hole we can go into at some other time.
Speaker AI'm.
Speaker AMy coffee's wearing off.
Speaker ABut you know, but yeah, there's, there's a lot to this.
Speaker AThis is not, this is not simple stuff here.
Speaker ABut yeah, there's a.
Speaker AThere's a lot to.
Speaker AI need to find out who that is because that's very interesting stuff and skip my mind.
Speaker ABut yeah, that's what they did.
Speaker ANot, not good.
Speaker BSo before your coffee fully wears off and you turn into the small version, just regular Mario instead of super Mario.
Speaker BSo.
Speaker BBecause earlier you had the fire flower and you're just throwing fireballs.
Speaker BSo let's make sure to spend some time on third Adam four then.
Speaker BBecause third Adam four, I think from what I recall was probably your most, I would say, complex topic where you cover the broadest range of subjects, sort of synthesizing them into a single picture of what mystery religion is and how it shows up today.
Speaker BSo let's spend some time on there before we land the play plane.
Speaker AOkay.
Speaker AOkay.
Speaker ASo I gotta focus my chi here.
Speaker AAll right.
Speaker BThird Adam Pray for him, everybody.
Speaker APray for us.
Speaker AYes.
Speaker AOkay.
Speaker AThird Adam four.
Speaker AI wanted to understand what the I, what this spirit energy was that they were using and what the point of it was and how this spirit energy could be used, used to and used in the physical world.
Speaker AAnd so what I discovered was, is that the whole idea of a lot of esoteric nonsense and esoteric practices is to do physical rituals in the physical world that manipulate spiritual energy outside the physical world so that that spirit energy can affect the physical world.
Speaker AIf that makes sense.
Speaker AI think you'll understand that.
Speaker AAnd that's what I'm trying to word it in such a way that audience understands it.
Speaker ALike, for example, I've got this, this pen sitting here and I do a ritual.
Speaker ASo spirit energy comes in this world and then suddenly this pin levitates or something of that nature.
Speaker AThat is what the occult.
Speaker AThat's what wizardry is.
Speaker AThat's what they're trying to do.
Speaker AThey're doing.
Speaker AAnd you see people do this in movies all the time.
Speaker AYou like Gandalf, the Wizard, Harry Potter series, they're doing all this.
Speaker AThey're.
Speaker AThey're trying to use spirit energy to manipulate physical objects and the physical world.
Speaker AWorld.
Speaker AMatter of fact, I think that's one of the implications of the phrase as above, so below, as within, so without.
Speaker AThat's what that is talking about in reference to that.
Speaker ATo.
Speaker AIn one angle, that's what it references.
Speaker ABut what we've.
Speaker AWhat I discovered was, is that this translates into different contexts throughout different times in history as different things.
Speaker ALike one of the things that it context, it manifests itself as is the idea of manifestation.
Speaker ALike, I can speak things into existence.
Speaker AI can speak prosperity.
Speaker AI can speak Health.
Speaker AI can speak wealth.
Speaker AAnd that's what New age people do.
Speaker AMatter of fact, there's a documentary series called the Secret that believes in this.
Speaker AIt's a book.
Speaker AIt's called the Secret.
Speaker AAnd all you got to do is speak things into existence.
Speaker AIf you want to be rich, just get up every day and look in the mirror and say, I am rich.
Speaker AI am strong.
Speaker AI've got a million dollars in the bank.
Speaker AAnd that's what I.
Speaker AAnd if you say these things, then the spirit energy of the universe starts to, to work in your behalf so that that becomes an actual physical reality in your life.
Speaker AAnd you translate that into the charismatic world.
Speaker AIt is the idea of decree and declare.
Speaker AI decree, I speak.
Speaker AMatter of fact, there's charity.
Speaker AGayle actually has that song called I Speak Jesus.
Speaker AAnd it's the same concept.
Speaker AIt is the idea of, I'm going to speak Jesus over this person who has a drug addiction.
Speaker AI'm gonna speak Jesus over to you and just.
Speaker AAnd just ooey gooey, just like a wizard.
Speaker AJust get that spirit Jesus energy on you and just, just roll you all in it and just.
Speaker AAnd that way, eventually you'll become a more holy person or you'll be healthier and wealthier and you'll be set free from addictions.
Speaker AAnd, you know, I'm gonna speak Jesus over my finances.
Speaker ASpeak Jesus over my family.
Speaker ASpeak Jesus over my bad back.
Speaker ASpeak Jesus over my broke down car.
Speaker AYou're practicing the occult, but you're using the word Jesus as a cover for it.
Speaker AAnd that's what makes it so dangerous and deceptive.
Speaker AAnd that's what we're trying to talk about in Third Adam four.
Speaker ANow we talk about different areas of it.
Speaker AI went into the martial arts world.
Speaker AI actually literally put videos in there, and I was shocked that they were on the Internet.
Speaker AThere are men out there who know how to focus chi and martial arts and they know how to just.
Speaker AThey know how to just put all this spirit energy on one point, and they can touch a pile of newspapers and that pile of newspapers will burn and catch on fire.
Speaker AAnd that's.
Speaker ATo me, that's something right out of, of out of X Men.
Speaker AThat's.
Speaker AThat's what Dragon Ball Z does.
Speaker AAnd we put a lot of Dragon Ball Z references in there.
Speaker AI mean, that's.
Speaker AI remember as a kid watching the X Men, the animated series on Fox, Saturday morning cartoons, and watching Jubilee do this with her hands, and spirit energy came out of her hands and blew up, you know, arcade machines blew up, the sentinels And I'm thinking that's.
Speaker AThat's exactly what the occult is.
Speaker AI was watching the occult a child and didn't even know it.
Speaker AAnd that's what esoteric stuff is.
Speaker AAnd when you see these charismatic healers, they're touching people and they're falling on the ground, I think that's real.
Speaker AI don't think that's fake.
Speaker AI don't think they're just acting that out.
Speaker AI think it's real.
Speaker AAnd I think that the spirit energy that's going through men like Kenneth Copeland and Benny Hinn is obviously not the Holy Spirit.
Speaker AIt is the same esoteric spirit that the mystery faith healers of the Far east had, that the Hindu yogis had had.
Speaker AAnd I think it's.
Speaker AI think it's the same mystery religion just with a Western packaging over top of it.
Speaker AAnd we go through and we talk about the process of mystery religion.
Speaker AI go through and talk about the doctrinal fruit of people practicing mystery religion.
Speaker AI talked about the six symbols of the Gnosticism, we talked about gnosis, we talked about.
Speaker ALet's see here.
Speaker AWe talked about gnosis, we talked about frequency, we talked about vibration, we talked about the three realms, we talked about those.
Speaker AThose are basically it there.
Speaker AAnd then later on in the documentary, we talk about how that this manifests itself throughout history with certain religious views and things like that.
Speaker AVery complicated work.
Speaker ABut I think we.
Speaker AI think we captured it pretty well and tried to get everybody on.
Speaker AOn the page with all that stuff.
Speaker ABut yeah, the Knights Templar believed all this.
Speaker ACharismatics today believe all this.
Speaker AMost your Hollywood celebrities believe all this stuff there.
Speaker AYou know, I got Adele, who's into crystals, you got.
Speaker AI even think Michael Jackson was into a lot of this stuff.
Speaker ABut as a matter of fact, I even tell you this, you referenced Super Mario Brothers.
Speaker BOh, yeah.
Speaker AThat's why the mushroom makes Mario bigger, is because the mushroom releases spirit energy inside of a man when he does psychedelics and he becomes bigger and stronger and more powerful version of himself.
Speaker AThat's exactly why that's in that video game.
Speaker AAnd we showed you that.
Speaker AAnd matter of fact, we even talked about bales on Catholic churches.
Speaker AAnd the reason bells were put on churches is the same reason they were put on Hindu temples in the Far east and they put on Buddhist temples is because the frequency that the bell hits wards off bad spirits.
Speaker AAnd that's why they're on churches today.
Speaker ASo it's an esoteric practice.
Speaker BI remember that section of 3rd Adam 4.
Speaker BAnd one of the things that struck me about that documentary was from my experience inside the New Age, where none of this stuff is.
Speaker BIt's not explicitly talked, taught.
Speaker BThere's no like, there's no sacred scripture in the New Age.
Speaker BThere's no, like, oh, congratulations, you are now a New Ager, and now you will read our sacred text.
Speaker BRight.
Speaker BIt's just as you say, it's.
Speaker BIt's mystery religion.
Speaker BIt's very swampy.
Speaker BIt's easy to get lost in.
Speaker BAnd there's no fixed place to stand to critique it from, from within.
Speaker BAnd so.
Speaker BBut nonetheless, as I journeyed through that world for 20 years, I was still sort of taking mental notes and sort of trying to understand, well, what is this thing that I'm inside?
Speaker BHow does it.
Speaker BHow does its worldview function?
Speaker BWhat is it actually guiding people towards?
Speaker BBecause there is.
Speaker BThere is a path.
Speaker BNot everyone is at the same place on the path.
Speaker BSome people stop in yoga and that just becomes their thing.
Speaker BOther people build their own kind of version of religion.
Speaker BBut it seemed to me that with, I think it was six, five or six symbols that you use to represent different aspects of this doctrine, it seemed to me that you had broken it down pretty clearly and understood again externally through study what I had come to understand internally from living it for a long time.
Speaker AYeah, yeah.
Speaker AAnd that's.
Speaker AThe Lord's helped me to do all that stuff.
Speaker AAnd, you know, we talked about the physical, the sub physical and the metaphysical part of all this.
Speaker AThat was a wild study of and of self.
Speaker AI struggled even wondering if I should put that in there because.
Speaker ABecause it.
Speaker ABut.
Speaker ABut I just think it just added another layer of context to help people give a little bit better understanding of it.
Speaker AAnd, and I, I just think it was important to do so.
Speaker ABut I'll tell you this, that was probably the, the biggest project I've ever done in my life.
Speaker AAnd I don't know if I'll ever.
Speaker AI'll know if.
Speaker AI don't know if I'll ever do another one.
Speaker AThat was that hard.
Speaker ABut because I.
Speaker AI mean, I really.
Speaker AI think I put 3 hours, 55 minutes and 26 seconds of material together.
Speaker AThat took me a year of my life just to do that.
Speaker AI could have broke that down into 50 YouTube videos and been, you know, been just fine.
Speaker ABut I think in third out of five, I'm not going to do that heavy of stuff.
Speaker AI'm gonna try to not be that long and I'm gonna try to deal with some other stuff going forward.
Speaker ABut this, this one was a.
Speaker AIt really was a lot of Fun to make 554,000 views in a year is not bad.
Speaker ASo I enjoyed it.
Speaker ABut I think, I think going forward we're probably gonna do a little bit shorter ones and a little bit more, more specific, not as broad perspective type stuff.
Speaker BSo just, just a couple more questions then.
Speaker BWhat's your process?
Speaker BLike, are you watching videos?
Speaker BAre you reading books?
Speaker BDo you have teams of researchers?
Speaker BBecause again, it took me 20 years of living this to learn this material.
Speaker BAnd it took you a year to produce the documentary, which of course included the technical work work, you know, graphics and, and video editing and music and all of this different stuff.
Speaker BLike how did you go about learning all of this stuff?
Speaker BLike, what sort of resources did you turn to?
Speaker AWell, of course my, the, the big research I use, of course is the Bible, obviously.
Speaker AAnd I try to, I've heard of this book.
Speaker AYes, I, I have one somewhere.
Speaker AAnd yeah, I, I look at it every now and then, especially around Christmas and, But yeah, I, I, I try to, I want the ground of everything.
Speaker AI believe, of course biblical, but I do when I'm looking for stuff, I have people that I can call and say, okay, here's what I'm curious about.
Speaker AHow does this work?
Speaker AHow does this angle of this work?
Speaker AAnd God's given me a team of people and most of them don't even know each other across the world.
Speaker AAnd I just say, hey, what do you think of this topic?
Speaker AAnd I've called you and asked you, hey, what do you think of this?
Speaker AAnd you've told me what you know, and I appreciate that.
Speaker AAnd it's so I've been able to kind of mishmash some information together and test it and to see, okay, is this what they're believing?
Speaker AOkay.
Speaker AYou know, got five people saying this is what it believes.
Speaker ALet's see what Alice Bailey said.
Speaker AOh, Alice Bailey said the same thing.
Speaker AOkay, well that must be what's the new age believes.
Speaker AAnd then I say, okay, well now that, now that my ex New age friends believe, say this what's, what's.
Speaker ASo Alice Bailey believes this.
Speaker ALet's see if Stephen Furtick saying the same thing.
Speaker AOh yeah, Steve Furtick say the same thing.
Speaker ASo one of the nuts.
Speaker AYeah.
Speaker AAnd after, after a while freaks me out, man.
Speaker AI'm just like, yikes.
Speaker AI, I'm really am surprised at how blatant this stuff is.
Speaker ABut I think here's my caution with it.
Speaker AWhen I first got saved, I was told I want to do, I wanted to preach on like the dangers of rock and roll.
Speaker ALike I wanted to expose Ozzy Osbourne for what he was and you know, that kind of stuff.
Speaker AAnd I had, I had preachers tell me, said, leave it all alone, don't mess with us, that you go kick up demons, you know, and just, and I think they were right to some degree.
Speaker AYou don't just take that stuff head on and just, you know, baptize your brain and all that.
Speaker AYou're going to, you're going to mess yourself up.
Speaker ABut God's given me a method in which to do it to where I'm not really taking it on head on.
Speaker AI go exact, I know exactly what I'm looking for.
Speaker AI get out and I'll put it in documentary and kind of teach all that stuff.
Speaker AAnd really I don't, I don't have to go straight, straight to deep into the dungeons of occultism and scoop up all the Aleister Crowley stuff and kind of dwell in all that.
Speaker AI don't have to do that.
Speaker AI just have to understand a basic concept, see where they believe it and then just go right to the modern day church and see how they're teaching that too.
Speaker AAnd at that point the job for me is done at that point and so that's really it.
Speaker AAnd I'm kind of neurodivergent anyway, which is kind of a blank blessing.
Speaker ABut I, I just kind of know what I'm looking for and I go get it and put it out there and I just let, I just ask the Lord to lead me and where to go and what to say and what angle of this to cover.
Speaker AAnd so in third Adam five, I've got a pretty well a good idea in my mind of what we're going to do and it's going to be a blessing.
Speaker ASo.
Speaker AAnd I'm going to come out to Utah to film a little bit if God let me.
Speaker ASo that'll be a blessing.
Speaker AI'm going to go, I'm going to go straight to the Mormon Tabernacle and film at that location.
Speaker AAnd if God will help me with that, I'd love to do it.
Speaker ASo that's what we're going to try to do.
Speaker B35 Spencer Smith vs Mormonism well, yeah, kind of.
Speaker AI kind of think of myself as a Baptist Indiana Jones and you know, going out there on location to dig up the artifacts that.
Speaker ABecause no, that's not true.
Speaker AI'm just being funny.
Speaker ASo the hat, I don't have that.
Speaker AI don't even have the leather jacket or a whip or nothing like that.
Speaker AI do have a Pistol.
Speaker AAnd that's about all I need.
Speaker ABut I do have these amazing sunglasses, the apostle sunglasses.
Speaker AI gotta send you some of these, brother, please, I gotta, I gotta anoint you as an apostle.
Speaker BI, I would, I would love that.
Speaker BI'd be honored.
Speaker AYeah, we can do that.
Speaker AEspecially I need to come out there to Arizona and see and me and you go to that town with Sedona, Jerome.
Speaker BOh, Sedona and Sedona and Jerome.
Speaker BYeah.
Speaker BSedona is the happy, shiny new age world.
Speaker BAnd then Jerome is the dark occult under belly.
Speaker AThat scares me.
Speaker AI can't wait, bro.
Speaker BIt scared me too.
Speaker BI mean, I had no idea.
Speaker BI booked a men's retreat in Jerome and we walked into town.
Speaker BI was like, what is this?
Speaker BIt's actually, I think a lot of the town is owned by the lead singer of Tool, Maynard James Keenan.
Speaker BAnd so we walked into.
Speaker BHe has a band called Pussifer.
Speaker BAnd we walked into the Pussifer store and I'm like, what is this?
Speaker BAnd that's just one example of the absolute weirdness that saturates that town.
Speaker BThis heavy darkness.
Speaker BWhich is funny because it's just 45 minutes from Sedona, which is this new age kind of like, you know, Mecca, you might say.
Speaker BAnd so that they're so close together is.
Speaker BThere really is no better example of the, of the, of the two faced version of mystery religion that you separate the, the shiny stuff from the darker occultic stuff.
Speaker BBut they really are the same thing.
Speaker AYeah, absolutely.
Speaker AAnd Mayard, that guy was my favorite singer, musician until I got saved.
Speaker AAnd I just love this.
Speaker AI used, I used some of their music in 3rd Adam 4.
Speaker AI don't know if people caught it or not, but it was there, so it was wild.
Speaker ASo that guy just.
Speaker AHis, all his songs are about the occult.
Speaker AAll of them.
Speaker BYeah, Their music, the time signatures, the use of Alex Gray, psychedelic art, all that stuff.
Speaker BAll that and, and the themes particularly of Is it the Undertow album.
Speaker BI mean, it's all personal growth and development and trauma and Gnosticism and Junism.
Speaker BLike it's all woven in, in there.
Speaker BIt's wild.
Speaker AWell, he did a song called Numa and that's about the false holy spirit.
Speaker AAnd, and even though even the words in the song are, you know, red and yellow is all I see, you know, come to me and reaching out to me.
Speaker ABut he's just talking about having an out of body psychedelic experience and raising his chi.
Speaker AAnd that man, that man is so eat up with demons.
Speaker AHe just eat up with man.
Speaker ASo I feel bad for him.
Speaker BFuture exposes, perhaps.
Speaker AI'd love to.
Speaker B3Rd Adam 6 maybe.
Speaker AYeah.
Speaker A3rd Adam 6, the land of confusion, coming in 2030.
Speaker BWe might not have that long, brother.
Speaker BThe singularity is coming.
Speaker AI know, I know.
Speaker AWe're gonna.
Speaker AI gotta get on it, brother.
Speaker ABut Third Adam four took a chunk out of me.
Speaker AIt really did.
Speaker AAnd took a chunk emotionally out of me a little bit spiritually.
Speaker AIt hurt me.
Speaker AIt kind of not hurt me, but kind of drained me.
Speaker ABut third Adam 5 is going to be.
Speaker AIs going to.
Speaker AIs coming.
Speaker AAnd so I appreciate everybody's prayers on that.
Speaker AIf y'all pray for me.
Speaker AI think this is a very important work.
Speaker AI think the Third Adam series is probably one.
Speaker AI'm not going to say the.
Speaker ABut I'm going to say one of the more important films for the modern church.
Speaker AAnd I believe that.
Speaker AI wouldn't say that just to say that.
Speaker AI think that it's a very real threat.
Speaker AIt needs to be talked about.
Speaker AAnd I think that every Christian.
Speaker AYou don't even have to be a Baptist.
Speaker AI think every Christian out there needs to at least consider the thoughts that we're trying to imperfectly present to the body of Christ and.
Speaker AAnd see if there's any truth to them and see if we can help you with that stuff.
Speaker BI agree, brother.
Speaker BPraise God.
Speaker BWell, this has been another thrilling conversation within.
Speaker BBetween the two of us.
Speaker BWe always have so much fun.
Speaker BSo thank you again for, for are.
Speaker BAnd.
Speaker BAnd what you do and, and where would you like to send people to learn more?
Speaker AWell, just check out our YouTube channel.
Speaker AMy name is Spencer Smith and go on there.
Speaker AAnd we try to.

Speaker AEverybody associate me with you from now on and that'll be really good.
Speaker AI appreciate that.

Speaker BI appreciate you so much.
Speaker BThank you.
