Your criticism of Islam here.
Speaker BYeah, but what I find fascinating, Jeff, is that you recognize that with other religions, but you don't do it with your own, because I.
Speaker BThat may be the case.
Speaker AI'm just saying.
Speaker BAnd there's that confirmation bias coming up.
Speaker BAgain.
Speaker AThis is Apologetics Live to answer your questions.
Speaker AYour host from Striving for Eternity Ministries, Andrew Rapaport.
Speaker BWe are Live Apologetics Live here to answer your most challenging questions that you have about God and the Bible.
Speaker BTonight's topic is going to be, well, maybe controversial for some.
Speaker BIt shouldn't be, in my opinion, for Christians.
Speaker BBut we're going to talk Christianity, Israel and Jewish hatred, and yes, as it says in the title, a debate challenge for Joel Webbins.
Speaker BSo we will discuss those issues tonight on Apologetics Live.
Speaker BI am your host, Andrew Rapoport of Striving for Eternity.
Speaker BI am the executive director, both Striving for Attorney and the Christian podcast community of which this podcast is a member.
Speaker BAnd we're here to answer your questions.
Speaker BSo you can feel free to go into apologetics live.com at any point during the show.
Speaker BAnd you just scroll down to the duck icon where we do this on most Thursdays.
Speaker BAlmost every Thursday, 8 to 10 Eastern Time, you just go to apologexlive.com, scroll down to the duck icon, click on that, and that is how you join us.
Speaker BThis is a ministry of striving fraternity, and as I say, almost every week, I can answer any question that you have about God in the Bible.
Speaker BAnd if you think I can't, well, that's the challenge.
Speaker BYou come on in, give me your hardest question.
Speaker BJust remember, one thing I don't know is a perfectly good answer.
Speaker BAnd with that, I am going to invite in our pastors who were in last week as well.
Speaker BPastor Jeff and Pastor Seth, welcome.
Speaker BFor folks who were not, last week's was kind of an.
Speaker BKind of really a prep for this, for what we want to talk about this week.
Speaker BLast week, we talked about Israel and Christianity, the nation of Israel, how should Christians view it?
Speaker BBut tonight, we want to talk more specifically about Jewish hatred.
Speaker BThis is something that really the three of us discussed at, well, what is the Truth Fellowship?
Speaker BAnd so through that also, we have some.
Speaker BSome distinguishing characteristics of what the Truth Fellowship is.
Speaker BPastor Jeff, I'm going to let you explain the Truth Fellowship, how that came about as you introduce yourself.
Speaker BAnd then to introduce our topic tonight, I'm going to ask Pastor Seth, as he introduces himself, to talk about this topic of Jewish hatred, because it is what he is writing about in this book that we are all co authoring together at the Truth Fellowship.
Speaker BSo, Pastor Jeff, would you mind starting us off?
Speaker CYeah.
Speaker CThe Truth Fellowship, and you can look at it at thetruthfellowship.org is a group of guys that are speaking out in the truth war.
Speaker CSo the tagline that you'll see for us is shepherds must speak.
Speaker CSo many pastors are unwilling to speak out about cultural issues because it might be divisive, it might cause discord within their church.
Speaker CAnd so in order to grow the church and keep things kind of seeker sensitive, a lot of pastors will default to being quiet about those issues and not really speaking out on them when what our view is that truth rallies around, well, unity rallies around truth.
Speaker CSo our priority is to put truth out as best we understand it.
Speaker CAnd we don't think we're infallible, but we want to handle the word of God as best we can and be willing to say the hard things and trust God to bring unity.
Speaker CAnd that's really what's happened in the Truth Fellowship.
Speaker CBut also in our local churches, we found amazing unity around the truth of God's word.
Speaker CSo thetruthfellowship.org and it's just exciting to be a part of it.
Speaker CA lot of us are guys that just didn't really have a home any longer in the denomination.
Speaker CSo for myself, the Evangelical Free Church kicked me to the curb because they said I was a Christian nationalist and they thought that I had a bad attitude.
Speaker CSo for that reason, they kicked me out of the denomination.
Speaker CBut there were others.
Speaker CDavid Whitney also got the left foot of Disfellowship and some others from the Evangelical Free Church.
Speaker CBut Seth here is not a free church.
Speaker CFormer free church pastor.
Speaker CI think his is a Baptist church.
Speaker CBut a lot of us have found each other and we're standing together in the truth war.
Speaker CAnd we're excited to have Andrew Rapaport with us as well as Russell Fuller, who was a professor at Southern Seminary, took a stand, signed the statement on social justice, and was summarily fired for his hand in the true for.
Speaker CBut he's with us now, so we thank God for him as well.
Speaker AYeah.
Speaker BAnd that the statement of social justice in the Gospel is.
Speaker BAnd Jeff, I don't know if you know some of the background, but there were 75 of us that wrote a letter to John MacArthur asking him to put his weight behind it as we were getting started with that.
Speaker BAnd then out of that, I think there were 19 that got together to form the Initial statement.
Speaker BAnd then the rest of us, it was sent to us to, to add any updates, approvals.
Speaker BSo, and, and then when like some of the update I had some updates got revised, came back to us.
Speaker BWe've gave final approval.
Speaker BThat's what went up on the website.
Speaker BAnd so, but Jeff, you.
Speaker BYou let folks know a little bit who you are, your church, where they could find you, and, and you could let them know.
Speaker BI mean, you, you know, the evangelical free had a.
Speaker BAn open public discussion over your issues.
Speaker BRight.
Speaker BAnd they, they said, let's.
Speaker BLet's have an open hearing.
Speaker BSo everyone happening.
Speaker BIsn't that how that happened?
Speaker CWell, I wish it was.
Speaker CThey did give me 90 seconds to defend myself at the national conference.
Speaker CAnd just recognizing that that was really ridiculous, I basically used that as a prophetic moment to call them out for going to the Dodgers game that night where the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence had just done some disgusting dance mimicking Christ on the cross.
Speaker CSo I just used that 90 seconds to call them out for supporting that and not joining the Christian BO caught against the Dodgers at that point.
Speaker CNot a trial.
Speaker CIt was not in any.
Speaker CAny sense of like, biblical justice.
Speaker BYeah.
Speaker BDefend your entire ministry in 90 seconds.
Speaker BGo.
Speaker BYeah, right.
Speaker ARight.
Speaker CThat's exactly what it was.
Speaker BSo where.
Speaker BWhere are you pastoring?
Speaker BAnd you're pastoring in a great state of.
Speaker BOh, wait, no, maybe it's not, but.
Speaker CWell, this is what you and I debate the most, you know, besides spiritual gifts.
Speaker CAndrew, it's whether or not New Jersey is.
Speaker AI love New Jersey.
Speaker CNew Jersey is incredible.
Speaker CNow, I know we have horrible and horrible government.
Speaker CIt is, It's.
Speaker CIt's beautiful.
Speaker CIt's got so many opportunities.
Speaker CYou got the shore, you got the mountains, you got the cities.
Speaker CYou got everything within a short distance.
Speaker CSo people move to New Jersey and be a part of Cornerstone Church.
Speaker CYeah.
Speaker BDown there in Mount Laurel, New Jersey.
Speaker BI have had the privilege of.
Speaker BOf preaching there and speaking there.
Speaker BSo I do.
Speaker BI do enjoy going down there.
Speaker BPastor Seth, introduce yourself a little bit and then bring us into why you felt the issue of Jewish hatred was an important enough topic to put it in, in Our list of 13 distinctives and then include it in the book and that you want to write on.
Speaker BBut.
Speaker BAnd also you can mention your article that you have out on truscript.
Speaker AOh, sure.
Speaker AYeah.
Speaker ASo, yeah, my name is Pastor Seth.
Speaker AI was here one week ago, so it's good to be back with you guys.
Speaker AAnd by the way, I've been to New Jersey twice.
Speaker AThey were both in 2025.
Speaker AAnd it is a beautiful state.
Speaker ASo.
Speaker ASo it was, it was good to be.
Speaker ATo go to the Garden State twice last year.
Speaker ABut, yeah, so I pastored Wisconsin and in fact pastor about an hour northeast of where the world's attention is right now, which is Minneapolis.
Speaker AWe had Jeff speak out at our church at a conference almost two years ago.
Speaker AAnd, and so Jeff, Jeff actually flew into Minneapolis and that's where we picked him up.
Speaker AYeah.
Speaker ASo.
Speaker ABut I pastor across the border here in Wisconsin, so I'm, I'm very grateful that I'm on this side of the border and not on the other side of the border right now.
Speaker ABut, yeah, I passed her in just north of St. Croix Falls, Wisconsin, right on the St. Croix river.
Speaker AAnd it's, it's a beautiful place to be.
Speaker AAnd I've been, I've been here for nine years.
Speaker AAnd, and so I got connected with Jeff really because, you know, he, he wrote the book Woke Free Church and, and I saw him do an interview with John Harris on YouTube and I just said, you know, I really want to connect with this guy because I, I really appreciate the stand that he's taking.
Speaker AAnd, you know, my family has a long history in the free church.
Speaker AMy great grandfather was in the free Church.
Speaker AMy grandparents were.
Speaker AMy parents were.
Speaker AI grew up in the free church.
Speaker AI was born, dedicated, baptized, and even, even was an associate pastor in the Free church.
Speaker ASo I was very interested as Jeff was, you know, speaking out on these issues.
Speaker ASo I, you know, I, I connected with Jeff, you know, and, and kind of became one of the guys who linked arms with him during that fight.
Speaker AAnd, and so, you know, as I mentioned one week ago, that's kind of how the Truth Fellowship was started.
Speaker AAnd then we added other guys along the way, like you, Andrew and like Russell Fuller and, and some, some other guys who are not.
Speaker AHave no connection with the preachers.
Speaker AYeah, so.
Speaker ASo yeah, the Truth Fellowship, we have these 13 distinctives, and it says on the website is the statement on Biblical Shepherd.
Speaker AAnd so what we're saying is that a faithful biblical shepherd in 2026 will be holding to these positions, will be standing on these positions.
Speaker AAnd one of the really discouraging things over the last year or two is a lot of the people, quite a few of the people who we used to link arms with speaking out against the social justice movement, all of a sudden just started all this anti Israel rhetoric, anti Jewish rhetoric.
Speaker AAnd I had a few circumstances in my life.
Speaker AOne time I was at a Walmart and this lady and I, we were Talking, and she's a Christian.
Speaker AAnd I, and I thought we were on the same page.
Speaker AAnd she was talking about all these horrible things happening in the world.
Speaker AWe were talking about the opening to the Paris Olympics and remember that blasphemy that took place in that opening ceremony at the Paris Olympics?
Speaker ASo this lady and I were talking about that and then she's, she completely caught me off guard when she said, isn't it horrible what Israel is doing?
Speaker AAnd so I, I stopped her.
Speaker AI'm like, okay, let's talk about this.
Speaker AAnd in the front of Walmart, as my wife and children kept shopping, I, I kind of got into a little bit of a debate in the front of Walmart where, where I explained to her, I said, you know, I know you're anti woke, and you need to understand the woke dynamics in the Middle East.
Speaker AYou know, they knew that Israel is the oppressor and the Palestinians is the oppressed.
Speaker AAnd so I was explaining that to her and she didn't get it.
Speaker AYou know, and then I had conversations with other people, you know, who were.
Speaker AThese were anti woke people.
Speaker ABut they're saying, oh, isn't what Israel is doing horrible?
Speaker AAnd, and then it went further than that.
Speaker AThen it went to, you know, Jewish people are the problem.
Speaker AAnd, and it started, you know, I noticed on YouTube, Tucker Carlson was someone I used to really appreciate.
Speaker AYou know, during COVID he took a really strong stance during COVID he was against the Black Lives Matter stuff.
Speaker AYou know, he hit the nail on the head so many times when he was on Fox News hosting the show Tucker Carlson Tonight.
Speaker AYou know, I'd watch his monologue every single night.
Speaker AAnd then I started to listen to what he was saying about Israel and the Jewish people.
Speaker AAnd I'm thinking, what is going on here?
Speaker AYou know, I thought it was kind of weird, you know, how kind he was to Putin.
Speaker AI'm like, that's kind of weird.
Speaker AAnd then I started to notice how kind he was to these Islamic leaders.
Speaker AYou know, then he was kind to the Venezuelan leader Maduro.
Speaker AAnd I started to notice there's a, there's a pattern here taking place with Tucker Carlson.
Speaker AAnd, but he was really hard on Israel, you know, extra hard on Israel.
Speaker ASo, so he was one voice.
Speaker ABut I, you know, I would hear it from Joel Webbing, you know, who we talked about a little bit about one week ago.
Speaker AYou know, he was pushing this rhetoric.
Speaker AAnd not just him, but some, but some other guys.
Speaker AOf course, Nick Fuentes is a very, very, he's the extreme.
Speaker ABut of course Nick Fuentes and Joel Webbing are not in arms.
Speaker ARight.
Speaker ASo, so this within, within the evangelical movement.
Speaker AAnd honestly, it's a lot all a lot of these guys, most of these guys are reformed guys.
Speaker AThey're the, they're anti social justice guys.
Speaker AThey're reformed guys and they are participating in this rhetoric.
Speaker ASo at the Truth Fellowship we said we got to say something about this.
Speaker AAnd so I want to read our statement here.
Speaker AThis is Our distinctive number 12 on the truth Fellowship website.
Speaker AThe verse we have Here is James 2:1, my brother, show no partiality as you hold the faith in our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory.
Speaker AAnd here's the statement.
Speaker AWe are concerned about a growing ideology that unjustly targets Jewish people as uniquely evil based on their biology and false attributes to them, social and global evils.
Speaker ARight.
Speaker ASo we understand that, you know, you know, Jewish people, just like anybody else in the world have done some very sinful things.
Speaker AYou know, like George Soros, for example, is, is Jewish.
Speaker AOne of the vaccines was developed by Jewish people.
Speaker ABut, but they're, they've been blamed for basically a cabal of, you know, they run the world.
Speaker AAnd if you trace everything back to its smallest point, what you're going to find is that you're going to find Jewish people behind all of these, all of these evil actions that are taking place.
Speaker ASo basically behind every conspiracy is a Jewish person.
Speaker AYeah.
Speaker ASo you started to see this develop and I could, I could, I could go through things here.
Speaker AWhen I write in my chapter, I focused a lot on Tucker Carlson because he's the one I'm concerned about.
Speaker AAnd here's why I'm so concerned about him.
Speaker AI'm more concerned about him than Nick Fuentes.
Speaker AI'm more concerned about Tucker Carlson because he has the guise of credibility.
Speaker AJust like I'm more concerned about Tim Keller than I am about Joel Olstein.
Speaker AYou know, Tim Keller would share a stage with some credible people, which gives him credibility, which made so his teaching on social justice very dangerous going on here.
Speaker ASo Andrew, do you want me to share a little bit about some of the things he said?
Speaker BYeah, yeah, that'd be good.
Speaker AOkay.
Speaker AOkay.
Speaker ASo.
Speaker ASo here, here's what, over the last year or two, this is what he's had on his program.
Speaker AHe pushed this ideology again.
Speaker AThis ideology, it sees everything through this lens.
Speaker AOkay.
Speaker ASo it's similar to critical race theory.
Speaker ARight.
Speaker ACritical race theory saw everything through the lens of this oppressor, oppressed dynamic.
Speaker AWhere for example, what happened in Minneapolis in 2020 when Derek Chauvin and the George Floyd incident happened.
Speaker AEveryone just immediately thought, white cop killing black man.
Speaker ARight?
Speaker AThat's the narrative, without looking at any of the facts, to say, okay, what exactly happened here?
Speaker ASo ide.
Speaker AWhich happened.
Speaker AOkay, so there's a similar dynamic going on here with this, this Jewish hatred ideology where they see everything through that lens.
Speaker AOkay, so, so, so Tucker Carlson has pushed this ideology in several different ways.
Speaker AOne of them is by having highly questionable people on his program, and instead of grilling them for their outlandish views, he has performed the interviews as if he agrees.
Speaker AOkay.
Speaker AThat he's become known for these kind of softball interviews where, you know, you can tell he's actually agreeing with the people he's interviewing.
Speaker AHe's not, he's not pushing back.
Speaker AOf course, you know, on tdhp, Jeff, you and I, we, we've interviewed, we agree with.
Speaker AAnd, you know, we don't really, we don't give some serious pushback, but if we, if we interview someone we disagree with, we're going to give some serious pushback.
Speaker ARight?
Speaker AWe're going to ask him some hard questions.
Speaker AAnd so, and for folks who don't.
Speaker BKnow, you gave the initials for the podcast, but what is the podcast?
Speaker AOh, Tearing down the High Places.
Speaker AYes, Tearing down the High Places.
Speaker AYeah, you can find it on YouTube and rumble.
Speaker AAnd where else could you find it, Jeff?
Speaker AYou could find it.
Speaker CYeah.
Speaker CI think the best place is to go to Cornerstone Church, Mount Laurel on YouTube.
Speaker CAnd it's just in the video section.
Speaker CThe, the particular episodes are.
Speaker CAre Tearing Down High Places.
Speaker BOkay.
Speaker AYeah.
Speaker ASo, so Tucker Carlson here, he has Nick Fuentes on.
Speaker AOf course, Fuentes is pro Hitler, pro Nazi, pro Stalin, white nationalist, and he's, he's unashamedly these things.
Speaker AOkay, so he has Fuentes on his program without any real pushback whatsoever.
Speaker ATucker Carlson also interviewed Daryl Cooper, Derek Hooper, I call him a pseudo historian who describes a different story about the Holocaust, minimizing Hitler's evil and pointing the finger at Churchill.
Speaker AI'm not familiar with him calling Churchill the, the chief villain of World War II.
Speaker BWhat's his view of the Holocaust?
Speaker AWhat was his.
Speaker AWhat was that?
Speaker BWhat's his view of the Holocaust?
Speaker ABasically, he's like, you know, it wasn't, it wasn't nearly as bad as, you know, as they say it is, you know, just greatly minimizing it.
Speaker AAnd, you know, Hitler, Hitler had his hands full, and so he just needed to put some people who were opposing him in just these camps over here.
Speaker AYou know.
Speaker BDoes he take the view where.
Speaker BOh, they were you know, after the fact, they were just trying to embellish the numbers and it really wasn't.
Speaker BYeah, that bit.
Speaker BOkay.
Speaker AYeah.
Speaker ASo people are.
Speaker AThat's what.
Speaker AThat's.
Speaker AThat's a common trend you're seeing right now.
Speaker AThey're either greatly minimizing the Holocaust or they're denied it.
Speaker AAll together, one of the two.
Speaker AAnd.
Speaker AYeah, so.
Speaker ASo.
Speaker ASo Daryl Cooper is one of those guys.
Speaker AYeah.
Speaker AAnd to show his approval of Cooper, Carlson stated that he is the greatest and most honest historian in America.
Speaker BOkay.
Speaker AExact quote from Tucker Carlson.
Speaker ASo he's also interviewed David Column, who believes that the United States should have allied with Hitler in World War II rather than the Soviet Union.
Speaker AThis belief comes from the historically inaccurate view that the Holocaust was exaggerated, like I said, and therefore Adolf Hitler and the Nazis were not as evil as everyone said they were.
Speaker ABut.
Speaker ABut history, of course, tells the story from the survivors and those who discovered the horror that it is impossible to put into words the evil that took place in those concentration camps.
Speaker AIn fact, that was.
Speaker AEisenhower visited the concentration camps after the war was over and he.
Speaker AThat's exactly what he said.
Speaker AHe's like, there are not words in the English language to describe how horrible these camps were.
Speaker AAnd the people that were most targeted were the Jewish people in those concentration camps.
Speaker BI don't know if you realize, but that was one of the reasons that the Germans were marched through after the fact, the local locals, so that they saw what they wanted, they were just ignoring, so they wouldn't allow it to happen again.
Speaker BSo they would see the wickedness that was right under their nose that they let happen to say, don't ever let it happen again.
Speaker BAnd.
Speaker BAnd I remember when Mark Spence, he was at Living Waters working on the film 180, he had told me one day, we just on the phone talking, and he just.
Speaker BHe had a rough day at work because he was editing all the video footage that they were putting into 180.
Speaker BAnd he just said.
Speaker BHe's like, you know, I'm watching these people.
Speaker BYou see them going into the concentration camps after the war's over, and they are, like, smiling and happy, and you see their faces when they're walking out and you're seeing the horror that they now realize they saw.
Speaker BAnd.
Speaker BAnd he was like, you know, it's just.
Speaker BWhat did they think was going on?
Speaker BThey could smell the burning of human flesh, and they just justified it to themselves.
Speaker BWe couldn't really doing that, you know.
Speaker BYeah, they can.
Speaker AYep, that's right.
Speaker AYep.
Speaker ASo.
Speaker ASo anyway, let's Continue with Tucker Carlson here.
Speaker ASo, so Carlson has unashamedly promoted these people on his program.
Speaker ANow, now, he has not come out himself and said that the Holocaust didn't happen, but again, he's had these people on his program.
Speaker AHis brother, in fact, actually went on, went on social media and said it didn't happen, which I find very interesting.
Speaker ASo his brother explicitly said it.
Speaker BCarlson's brother that said it.
Speaker ACarlson's brother.
Speaker AYeah.
Speaker AOkay, so, so it's like, huh, I bet they've been talking behind the scenes.
Speaker AYeah, but anyway, sir, so, so furthermore, he, he has platformed several pro Hamas guests claiming that Israel has run American foreign policy in the Middle east for decades, while saying the Israeli military has participated in ethnic cleansing in the Gaza region.
Speaker ASo in one of his newsletter letters, Carlson said this.
Speaker AUnnamed Washington sources express concern over Israel's ability to fend off Iran's retaliation, which would inevitably lead to Benjamin Netanyahu ordering the American military to step in and fight on his country's behalf.
Speaker AOkay, so think about that statement.
Speaker AThis statement tells us that the Jews are truly the ones in control.
Speaker ASo, so Trump doesn't really run the United States military.
Speaker ANetanyahu runs the United States military.
Speaker AAnd it goes back to those Bush years, right, when they, when they went into Iraq and Afghanistan.
Speaker AIt's, you know, really, really.
Speaker AThe United States has been fighting Israel's wars.
Speaker AThat, that's the narrative that they're spreading.
Speaker BOkay, I just brushed.
Speaker BJust.
Speaker BI gotta just interrupt.
Speaker BThat's one logical question.
Speaker BIf we are doing nothing but bidding, doing the bidding of Israel, especially Netanyahu, why was it that Bill Clinton's advisor, James Carmel, was the one who was advising the guy who ended up Sharon, who, who ended up beating Netanyahu with fake charges, you know, just the same way they did here in, in America with like, you know, just creating a fake case.
Speaker BAnd then every time Israel went to war, the United States would go, okay, okay, you're almost, you almost wiped out your enemy.
Speaker BStop now.
Speaker BRight?
Speaker BWhy was it if, if is.
Speaker BWe're just bowing down to Israel, why did we, why was it always the United States that stopped them from finishing?
Speaker BAnd they always listened to us?
Speaker BI'm just curious.
Speaker BI don't know.
Speaker BI shouldn't, I shouldn't ask logical questions, should I?
Speaker AYeah, there isn't any logic to any of this.
Speaker ASo, yeah, that's.
Speaker AYeah.
Speaker ABut anyway, okay, so, so he, you know, he, again, he says things like this.
Speaker ANow, when he had Nick Fuentes on his program, you know, Fuentes talked about organized jewelry, right?
Speaker AYou know, like this, this authority of, you know, these Jews that are running the world.
Speaker AAnd, and actually, Joe Evan had Nick Fuentes on where they talked about that as well.
Speaker AOkay, so this, this does.
Speaker AWe'll get to Joel Webbing here in a little bit.
Speaker ABut continuing to show Carlson's agenda against Israel, the Jewish people, he has given soft interviews to the greatest opposers of Israel in the Middle East.
Speaker AIn particular, he has promoted leaders in the Iranian and Qatar governments.
Speaker AAnd that's where Tucker has earned the nickname Tucker Katarlson.
Speaker ANow, even though they are strongly for the advance of Islam in the West.
Speaker AOkay, think about that.
Speaker CWhat.
Speaker AQatar is pouring millions and millions of dollars into America to try to spread the lies that, you know, Israel is this evil nation that Islam, you know, really is being oppressed, and Qatar wants to advance Islam into the West.
Speaker AYou know, so they're, which, they've already succeeded very well in Europe, and they're already doing very well here in the United States.
Speaker AYou know, actually in Minneapolis, speaking of Minneapolis.
Speaker AYeah.
Speaker AHundreds of thousands of Somalians live in Minneapolis.
Speaker AAnd, and they, I used to do evangelism down in Minneapolis to the, to, to these Somali Muslims.
Speaker AAnd one thing about it is you go down there to South Minneapolis and it feels like you're in East Africa.
Speaker AThey do not assimilate.
Speaker AAnd that's one thing people don't, don't understand is like, they do not assimilate to the, to the cultures that they move into.
Speaker AThey.
Speaker AThe eventual goal, especially of those who really know what's going on, is to have Sharia law.
Speaker AThey want to gain enough power to get to that place.
Speaker AOkay, so think about Tucker Carlson here platforming these guys, you know, basically presenting them as the victims to Israel's tyranny.
Speaker ASo now, interestingly, his most contentious interview is with pro Israel Senator Ted Cruz.
Speaker AYeah.
Speaker AYeah.
Speaker BSo before you get that, let me, let me bring Jack, because I know Jeff has to drop at the top of the hour.
Speaker BSo with what he said so far, Jeff, what, what, what do you have to add to this or any, anything else you want to bring in?
Speaker BI know you got to drop at the top of the hour.
Speaker CSo I, I think that what Seth said early on about the victim mentality and the woke mindset where everything gets processed through this lens really explains a lot, because when I'm hearing Tucker Carlson Katarlson recently, he.
Speaker CEverything he does now and says seems to be going through the lens of what will help his narrative against Israel.
Speaker CSo what does Nigeria have to do with Israel?
Speaker AAbsolutely nothing.
Speaker CSo why Is Tucker Carlson coming on to say, well, you know, the calling of Christians in Nigeria is probably not as bad as they're making it out to be.
Speaker CIt's overblown.
Speaker CSame thing he does with Minneapolis, all this stuff.
Speaker CYou know, he's jumping in, trying to get the spotlight off of Muslims, off of, you know, the fraud that's happening with the Somali community.
Speaker CHe even did the same thing with Mom Donnie.
Speaker CIf there's not a subversive person, you know, worse than him, if there is one, I don't know who it is.
Speaker CI mean, Zoran Momdami is the exact opposite of everything America stands for, for everything that we need.
Speaker CAnd yet Tucker looks for ways to just make him not that bad.
Speaker CAnd it just really all comes down to this fact that this victim mentality that the Jews are somehow victimizing him in America, that becomes the overarching narrative that controls everything.
Speaker CIt really is a mind virus.
Speaker AIt's.
Speaker CIt's horrible.
Speaker BYeah.
Speaker ASo what do you.
Speaker AHere's what Mandami or what Carlson said about Mandani.
Speaker AOkay, so here's what's interesting.
Speaker ALeading up to the New York City election, all the conservative heads, the who's who in the conservative political world, guess what they're talking about.
Speaker AThe New York City race that had all the attention.
Speaker ARight.
Speaker AWe can't let Mandani win.
Speaker AGuess how many times Tucker Carlson mentioned Mandani one month before the election happened?
Speaker BIn.
Speaker BYou mean at all or just in a negative way?
Speaker AWell, I'll explain.
Speaker ASo guess how many times he mentioned him.
Speaker BI don't know.
Speaker BMaybe.
Speaker BMy guess, maybe a dozen at most.
Speaker AGot it.
Speaker BIt is zero and a one time.
Speaker AOnce.
Speaker AOnce.
Speaker AAnd he mentioned him in a positive way.
Speaker BI was gonna say zero times in a negative was going to be.
Speaker BSo at least I would have been right there.
Speaker AYeah.
Speaker ASo he mentioned it with a positive.
Speaker ABasically, he said, you know, during the Merrill debate, they were asked, you know, what.
Speaker AWhat country do you want to go to?
Speaker AAnd a couple of the other guys said, israel.
Speaker AAnd Mandani said, I don't want to go to any country.
Speaker AI just want to be in New York City.
Speaker AI love New York City.
Speaker AAnd so, of course, Tucker Carson loved that comment, you know?
Speaker AYeah.
Speaker ASo he.
Speaker ASo that was the only thing about that.
Speaker AHe's supposed to be a conservative political commentator, and he didn't even talk about this New York City election.
Speaker AYou know, his focus is not on, you know, beating the left.
Speaker BYou know, I mean, look, his.
Speaker BHis focus is on paying, making his.
Speaker BHis payments.
Speaker BRight.
Speaker BGetting.
Speaker BGetting his money.
Speaker BHe's now, it's about building his platform now that he's not beholden to anyone.
Speaker BI, I, you know, I don't know about you guys.
Speaker BI had, you know, Charlie Kirk came to me in a dream, and he told me that, that Candace, Owen and, and Charlie and Tucker Carlson are on the payroll of Alex Soros.
Speaker BAnd it's got to be true because Charlie came to me in a dream.
Speaker BHey, if it's good enough for Candace, it's good enough for me.
Speaker BI mean, yeah, but, but no, I mean, this, I don't know if you've heard, but this is, this is the very reason that Dan Bongino said he, he left the FBI to come back in to be able to speak in the public forum because he's realizing that the conservative right is, is being lost and muddled down and watered down by the Candace Owens and the, the grifters like Tucker Carlson, where they had some conservative, you know, following backbone, but once they went out on their own, they've kind of given that up and gone.
Speaker BLulu.
Speaker BI mean, they're basically, they're basically no different than the wokeism that the three of us fought.
Speaker BIt's just, they want a conservative wokeism, you know, where they're going to pick and choose who the victims and the victimizers are in a different way.
Speaker BBut it's, it's the same woke nonsense.
Speaker AYeah, yeah, listen to it.
Speaker AListen to what Tucker Carlson said about Mandani here.
Speaker AOkay, so this isn't, this isn't one of his newsletters.
Speaker AHe said, is the incoming mayor a fan of Israel?
Speaker ADoes he want America to fight its wars?
Speaker ANot particularly.
Speaker ABut a Jew hater, that's a different conversation.
Speaker AWe've never seen anything to suggest he falls into that ugly camp because he doesn't.
Speaker AOkay, so, okay, so think about this.
Speaker AThere were rabbis in New York City who met with Mamdani before the election because they just wanted to know his views on Israel and Palestine.
Speaker AAnd this rabbi goes public and he says Mandani's views on Israel are the most radical possible.
Speaker AHe not only thinks that, you know, Israel is doing ethnic cleansing and they're oppressing the Palestinians.
Speaker AHe also believes that they should not have any state anywhere.
Speaker ASo to have a Jewish state should not even be on the table.
Speaker ANot, not in their homeland, not, not in Canada, not anywhere.
Speaker AYou know, so, yeah, so anyway, so, okay, so Tucker Carlson says he's not a Jew hater.
Speaker AYeah, Tucker Carlson, he, he stated that Hamas is not a terrorist group, but a political organization.
Speaker BOkay, does he Admit that Islam is also political organization and one that is incapable of operating in a capitalistic country.
Speaker BActually, here Jesse says this in the comments.
Speaker BHe said Islam is unable, in all caps, unable to assimilate into American society is because it's a political system.
Speaker BAnd like, look, I, I believe very strongly on freedom of religion in America.
Speaker BOkay, I support that.
Speaker BBut Islam is not a religious system.
Speaker BIt's a political one.
Speaker BAnd Tucker Carlson is a political analyst, right?
Speaker BConservative, one who should stand up for capitalism, and yet he's standing up for Islam.
Speaker BAnd he clearly, I mean, I'd love to sit down with Tucker Carlson for a couple of hours and explain to him what the Quran actually teaches about Islam and politics.
Speaker BBecause there is no room in Islam for any other view of government or religion other than Islam.
Speaker BIt is a, they, their religion is a world dominance.
Speaker BAnd nobody complains about Islam being, you know, an Islam nationalist.
Speaker BBut that is what Islam is.
Speaker BThere's, there's no separation of church and state or, you know, mosque and state.
Speaker BIt is one in the same and it is total domination.
Speaker BAnd yet they want to call out Christians.
Speaker BOh, you know, I was going to play a clip at the beginning just to see you got what you guys would think about it.
Speaker BBut if you've seen the clip of the one woman who said, who's basically saying that white Christian, white Christian evangelists, evangelicals are a cancer on America.
Speaker BAnd I put this out on X and I said, like Christians, this is what we're up against.
Speaker BI mean, these folks, they view us as a cancer.
Speaker BThey don't see, they don't see terrorists as the enemy.
Speaker BThey don't see criminals as an enemy.
Speaker BThey, they see Christians as an enemy.
Speaker BAnd they're going to partner with the Muslims who, if you understand Islam, Islam will work with you to destroy you.
Speaker BThat, that's actually part that you see in the hadiths of the instruction.
Speaker BWork with the countries, but you're working with them only to destroy them.
Speaker BSo it's okay to like, pretend like you're agreeing with them, lying all the time to defend the faith, you know.
Speaker AAnd that's, and that's, of course, the red green alliance.
Speaker AThat's, that's the goal of it.
Speaker AThey will, the green, of course, is Islam, the red is communism.
Speaker AAnd they will work with the communists, but they will, they will not bow to the communists.
Speaker AFor sure.
Speaker AThey will.
Speaker AThey want absolute authority.
Speaker AYeah.
Speaker ASo, so, so Tucker Carlson, he very, you know, he also minimized Sharia law.
Speaker AAgain, you're noticing a pattern here.
Speaker BMm.
Speaker AHe, he Seems to love these far right authoritarian leaders, right?
Speaker AMaduro, Putin, Iran.
Speaker AYou know, he has got a really soft spot in his heart for these guys.
Speaker BLet me ask you, I mean, because when he was with Fox News, clearly he was not that way.
Speaker BHe would speak out against these type of leaders.
Speaker BSo let me ask you, I'm out of curiosity, your assessment.
Speaker BDo you think that Tucker always was this way but kind of restrained because he was in a conservative circles with Fox News and that's how he was.
Speaker BThe way to stand out was just to sound conservative, but he really never was.
Speaker BOr do you think that I joked about it or do you think there's someone that's paying his bills like the Southern Baptists have, where they're getting money from a Soros funded organization and, and they're being, hey, we want this money to come in.
Speaker BOkay, we'll, we'll placate the WOKE nonsense.
Speaker BDo you think that that could be or do you have a different opinion?
Speaker BAnd then Jeff, I'll be curious of your opinion of that after.
Speaker AYeah, the, a Muslim man, a wealthy Muslim man actually helped launch Tucker Carlson Network once he left Fox News.
Speaker BOkay, I didn't know that.
Speaker AAnd that's public knowledge, you know, and it's a pretty incredible that more people don't know about that.
Speaker AThere's been, he's probably receiving more money than that from Islam.
Speaker ASo I guess it's hard to say, like what was he just playing us all these years?
Speaker ABecause yeah, he, we didn't know this, this anti Israel stuff did not come out when he was on Fox News.
Speaker AI never noticed it anyway.
Speaker ABut I, you know, from a, from us, like from a biblical standpoint, you know, I've thought about this and because I've seen this before, you know, like, you know, I mentioned, you know, Tim Keller earlier and I think you can talk about some other guys who speak a lot of good things.
Speaker AThey speak a lot of truth.
Speaker AIt makes them extra dangerous when they go down a dark path, you know, because, because they bring a lot of people with them.
Speaker AEven credible people get fooled by these guys.
Speaker BLook at, look at Candace Owens.
Speaker BI mean, I, I have to admit, like, it boggles my mind how many people follow Candace and her, her proof that Charlie Kirk's wife was behind this and the people at Turning Point had Charlie killed was that Charlie Kirk came to her in a dream and told her this.
Speaker BAnd like none of her followers go, that's crazy.
Speaker BLike, gee, that's not really evidence.
Speaker BRight?
Speaker BAnd now, now she's saying he was a Time traveler, and that's how he knew he was going to die young.
Speaker BIt's what, like, at some point people should be saying, this is nonsense, but yet.
Speaker BI don't know.
Speaker BI, I think what it is, Seth, is that people followed them because they were saying conservative things.
Speaker BAnd I think what they feel is that if they were to say, well, no, they were.
Speaker BThey're nuts, then that's undermining everything else they believe and all their views of conservatism.
Speaker BI. I don't know.
Speaker BIt's just my theory.
Speaker ASee, you think people are afraid to condemn them because of that.
Speaker BI think.
Speaker BI think people are afraid because to say that.
Speaker BThat there.
Speaker BThat these guys are not.
Speaker BAre just crazy because it.
Speaker BIt me.
Speaker BIt.
Speaker BThey're.
Speaker BThey've so connected their conservatism to these people.
Speaker BSo if they're wrong, their conservatism must be wrong.
Speaker BI don't know.
Speaker BI don't know how else to explain how some p. I mean, really intelligent people and that can see the.
Speaker BThe hypocrisy within the media when it comes to the left, see the same exact techniques on the right and go, oh, yeah, this.
Speaker BThis makes sense.
Speaker BYeah.
Speaker BHuh?
Speaker AYeah.
Speaker AYeah.
Speaker AAs shepherds, we need to have discernment, and we need.
Speaker AWe need to spot wolves and sheep's clothing.
Speaker AYou know, they say a lot of true things, but then you point, they poison it, and then you realize, oh, wait, this person is actually causing a lot of damage.
Speaker ARight.
Speaker AAnd I, and I. I would put Tucker Carlson in that category again.
Speaker AI think he's more dangerous than Candace Owens.
Speaker ABecause if you don't know that Candace Owens is crazy by now, you got issues.
Speaker AI mean, it should be pretty obvious at this point point, but Tucker has a way of, you know, almost, you know, he's this old country, you know, American boy that loves America, and he's the only one who really loves it.
Speaker AAll these other people don't really love it.
Speaker AYou know, he kind of gives that off and it's.
Speaker AIt's really dangerous.
Speaker AGo ahead.
Speaker AGo ahead, Jeff.
Speaker CYeah, I don't think that the lion's share of the problem is financial.
Speaker CI don't think that Candace or Tucker are largely motivated by money.
Speaker CI do think it plays in, like, everybody, you know, there's some influence of, you know, there's a financial gain here, and I think he does take Muslim money, but I think it's.
Speaker CIt's much deeper than that.
Speaker CI think it's very spiritual, you know, doctrines of demons.
Speaker CI do believe that there are winds and waves of Doctrine that come over the land.
Speaker CThink Back to like 2016, when QAnon just had so many intelligent people believing the whole thing hook, line and sinker about, you know, so many people that they would name, you know, LeBron James and Tom Hanks and whoever else they can come up with.
Speaker CThey're all drinking the blood of children to get an adrenaline rush and to increase the sexual pleasure and all.
Speaker CLike, they believed all of this without questioning.
Speaker CAnd the problem wasn't that they weren't intelligent.
Speaker CIt was a demonic doctrine that swept through, which actually had its roots back in the Jewish blood libel.
Speaker CSo it connects with what we're doing here because, of course, the head of all these world cabals are people like the Rothschilds and.
Speaker CAnd all of that.
Speaker CBut rather than proving it with evidence as the Bible would prescribe, it was done by conspiracy theory.
Speaker CAnd, you know, I know a lot of conspiracies turn out to be true, but we still have a biblical demand that we pursue justice by evidence, the whole process, due process, that is biblical Proverbs 18:17.
Speaker CSo what ends up happening, I think is Hebrews, the end of Hebrews 5 says to train the powers of your discernment by constant practice.
Speaker CAnd there are a lot of Christian people or non Christian people who haven't been in the Word and they have been drifting away from God in their own hearts.
Speaker CThey've been backsliding and they're not spiritual right now, their discernment.
Speaker CAnd so they're very liable to these things.
Speaker CAnd Tucker Carlson is that way.
Speaker CI think he's probably genuinely had some encounter with God.
Speaker CI don't probably think he's saved, but he read the Bible for the first time in his life a couple years ago.
Speaker CHe's in the spiritual war.
Speaker CHe talks about this encounter he had with demons where he.
Speaker CHis back got scratched in the middle of the night and he got tore up by a demon.
Speaker CSo he's been in some kind of spiritual war.
Speaker CBut when I listen to him at Turning Point usa, I heard his speech at the Amfest in December, and even before that I heard him kind of fill in on Charlie Kirk's road show.
Speaker CI don't hear the sound of a fake.
Speaker CI think he is a genuine person who believes the things he's saying and he thinks he's crusading for truth and justice and righteousness.
Speaker CThe problem is he's so immature as a Christian or he's not a believer that he's actually been deceived by doctrines of demons.
Speaker CAnd he's not biblical enough to figure out where the lies are coming in.
Speaker CSo he's like a crusader who's going for some goal that he has in mind.
Speaker CAnd I think it's truly a demonic wave that's sleeping over the country.
Speaker CSo to answer that question that you first said, Andrew, I don't think back in the day when he was on Fox News, this was on his mind at all.
Speaker CI think he was doing his thing.
Speaker CI think it's been recent years when this wave of hatred of Jews has really reached fever pits, that it also got into him and he did not have the structural integrity as a Christian to resist it.
Speaker CAnd so we're seeing what we're seeing.
Speaker CI think it's a demonic doctrine that's overtaken him in recent years.
Speaker BThat's certainly an interesting view.
Speaker BNow, I know, I know you have to go at top of the hour.
Speaker BSo before you have to take off, I do want to make sure we get time for a public challenge.
Speaker BBoth Pastor Jeff and Pastor Seth feel strongly enough about this topic.
Speaker BAnd what we're going to talk about, Pastor Seth is going to talk about the next hour is specifically more so on Joel Webbin.
Speaker BBut you guys have both agreed to be willing to debate Joel Webbing and another person that he would want in a two on two debate on the issue of, of Israel, or at least the Christian response to Israel.
Speaker BIs that true?
Speaker BAre you both willing to do such a debate?
Speaker AYes, yes, I would do it.
Speaker BYeah.
Speaker CYeah, I'm 100% in on that.
Speaker CAnd we could even look at his book that he recently put out.
Speaker CSo he's sort of thrown out his views in the hyphenated heresy.
Speaker CJoel Webbing has written a book on this.
Speaker CPlus he's put so many things out publicly on his podcast.
Speaker CWe could narrow that topic and define it.
Speaker CBut it is just a very important issue right now.
Speaker CAnd yeah, I would be willing to debate that.
Speaker BSo, so the thing that I'm asking for this audience here is if you could, those who either know Joel and his, his gang or if you're willing to take this episode and tag them.
Speaker BAnd with the debate challenge, we're looking to, and I'm going to be doing that as well.
Speaker BX where, you know, I, I name this to be that it's going to, you know, debate challenge to Joe Webbing.
Speaker BSo that is the challenge.
Speaker BAnd now I, I'm going to tell you right now, here's the thing.
Speaker BI said this last week, I'll say it this week.
Speaker BJoe Webbin doesn't want this debate because he prefers a monologue.
Speaker BHe prefers to be in an area where he can, he can monologue.
Speaker BAnd if he's going to be in a, in a debate where he's, where it's not a monologue where he can't clearly win, he wants it to be something where he can, he can try to influence some big crowd.
Speaker BYou're going to hear Joel Webbing.
Speaker BIf he ever refers to this challenge, he's going to say, oh, well, they don't have a big enough platform, these two unknown guys, right?
Speaker BThat, that'll be the way he'll argue it when he says that.
Speaker BYou know, one thing for sure, he's not arguing for truth.
Speaker BHe's only arguing for his platform building.
Speaker BOkay?
Speaker BThat's the proof of it, that he's a platform builder.
Speaker BIf he's a man for truth, he'd be willing to debate these topics that he feels so strongly about openly.
Speaker BWe have a program right here.
Speaker BWe have done many formal debates.
Speaker BI have moderated many debates.
Speaker BAnd anyone can look at the debates I've modern moderated.
Speaker BAnd you don't see me being biased toward any side.
Speaker BI manage the clock.
Speaker BThat's what a moderator does.
Speaker BI read the questions.
Speaker BThat's what a good moderator does.
Speaker BBut there we have a platform that we can have them come and have this discussion.
Speaker BIt is an important discussion, I believe, not just because I'm from a Jewish background.
Speaker BThat's why I'm not challenging the debate, because I don't think he'd ever debate me because I'm Jewish and he's going to be.
Speaker BOh, see your bias.
Speaker BOkay, so take me out of that.
Speaker BBut the reality is I do think it's important for us to have a right view of Israel and to, to not be arguing and dividing as Christians over the issue of the state of Israel and arguing that people, that people who are going to be, you know, who are going to have differing views of Israel, that it's either a salvific issue or to argue that there's some, you know, to, to be sitting here and denying that Israel is a state today.
Speaker BNow I am laughing and, and Jeff and, and Seth, you may see why.
Speaker BBut we, we have our friend back who, who, you know, is the, the, you know, Prophet Muhammad in, in Bible, Isaiah 42.
Speaker BNow for the record, anyone could go back, see last week how this person was.
Speaker BAnd I still haven't blocked them because I'm hoping that this character would actually come in and to apologize live.
Speaker BAnd anyone can.
Speaker BAny, even if you disagree with the issues that Seth is saying, Jeff is saying about Israel, you can come on in, apologexlive.com you can join the discussion.
Speaker BAnd even if you disagree and want to have a debate on things, hey, you prepared?
Speaker BI didn't.
Speaker BLet's debate it.
Speaker BBut this, this Prophet Muhammad dude that I would love to see him come in and we could talk about how the author of the Quran doesn't know everything, so it can't be God because he doesn't know what the trinity is.
Speaker BHe, he doesn't even know how human biology works.
Speaker BBy the way, you know, Prophet Muhammad out there, if you, if you think the Quran is so accurate, just tell me where semen is.
Speaker BYou know, that male part of the seed.
Speaker BBecause the Quran says it's in the small of the back and that's not good biology.
Speaker BSo we could talk about things like that.
Speaker CIf Andrew, speaking of the small of the back, we should ask Prophet Muhammad in the Bible, Isaiah, what was up with the night of Al Zut?
Speaker CDavid Wood has put out some videos about Muhammad and the night of Alzheimer if you guys haven't looked that up yet.
Speaker CMuhammad's pretty weird, dude.
Speaker APretty weird, dude.
Speaker BI haven't seen that one.
Speaker BBut I, but I have seen the, you know, Prophet Muhammad.
Speaker BYou know, his, his, he, he says, okay, you know, you're limited to the number of wives, being the number of wives he had at the time, you know, because his youngest wife was, she was kind of, I kind of picture her as a pretty feisty girl.
Speaker BAnd he just suddenly decides he wants to have his adopted son's wife and so he can have an extra wife that others can't.
Speaker BAnd, and she's known for having said, oh, you're a prophet of God.
Speaker BYou always get, you know, God always gives you what you want.
Speaker BAnd I, I don't think she was saying that in the way of, oh, yes, you're a prophet.
Speaker BIt's, it's just, I think it's more sarcastic like, oh, sure, because you're a prophet.
Speaker BJust so happens God always seems to agree with what you want, you know.
Speaker CAnd then Surah 66 comes just to justify him taking his adopted son's wife to be one of his many wives, which also.
Speaker CDidn't he have other wives that were sisters?
Speaker CIs that the case?
Speaker CI'm not sure about that one.
Speaker BI'm not sure about that.
Speaker BJoseph did that.
Speaker CJoseph Smith, I think it was cousins.
Speaker CI think he, he was one of the first that had the, a first cousin marriage which has gone on and on for the centuries.
Speaker CNow, just like Andrew Wilson exposed with what that's done to IQs.
Speaker BOkay, you and I have to talk about that.
Speaker BI'm not up on that one.
Speaker CYeah, because I gotta tell you about this real quick.
Speaker CSo Andrew Wilson debated some Daniel Hakikachu, this big Muslim, Harvard educated scholar.
Speaker CAnd all that Andrew Wilson did to prove his point was to harp on the point about first cousin marriage and that some countries, the Muslim countries will have like more than 50% of the people are marrying their first cousin.
Speaker CAnd it's plummeting the IQ of the entire nation.
Speaker CSo it's keeping the country just in poverty and they can't compete with the Western nations because they've ruined their IQ by first cousin marriage.
Speaker BWell, I guess, I guess based on that, then Joe Webbin wouldn't debate them because their IQ is not high enough.
Speaker BRight, Right.
Speaker CWell, there was a guy who had a 130 IQ who said he won the debate with Ruslan.
Speaker BOkay, so here'd be a thing.
Speaker BYou know, I know Joel Webbins made the comment about the IQs.
Speaker BYou know, who, you know, people under 130 don't.
Speaker BCan't be smart enough to understand what he says.
Speaker BSo, hey, hey, Joel.
Speaker BI mean, if you did want to debate me, I got 168 IQ.
Speaker BI've passed the test for Mensa.
Speaker BI'll put my numbers up of IQ and T cells up against yours any day because I think I got more testosterone than you ever had.
Speaker BSo if, if you want to go.
Speaker CEither way, bring in the numbers.
Speaker CI love it.
Speaker CDude, did you see that?
Speaker CThe highest IQ in the world is now outspoken as a crisis Christian and trying to plant churches.
Speaker CA Chinese guy.
Speaker CIsn't that awesome?
Speaker BYeah.
Speaker BYeah.
Speaker BActually there's a, the, the.
Speaker BI think the highest IQ guy in America, highest IQ male in America, is a Christian.
Speaker BHe's.
Speaker BI mean, he's.
Speaker BI forget how old now.
Speaker BNow he's got to be in his later 20s, but I think he, he, he graduated with I think a Ph.D. by like, I think 16 or 17.
Speaker BIt.
Speaker BIt was crazy.
Speaker BSo, yeah, y.
Speaker ASo that.
Speaker ANow you said that Joel Webb would not debate a nobody.
Speaker AAnd I'm going to say that Jeff Clear is not a nobody.
Speaker AOkay?
Speaker ASo that.
Speaker AWell, so to Joe.
Speaker BJoe Webbin will claim that because he doesn't know who we are.
Speaker BBut that's the whole thing.
Speaker BHe'll make that claim to get out of it.
Speaker BI've heard, heard this before.
Speaker BLook, I heard someone say that James White was a nobody and he wouldn't debate him because James White was a nobody.
Speaker BI'm like, James is pretty well known and has 200 formal debates.
Speaker BI think he's pretty well known on debates.
Speaker AWell, I just want to say Jeff wrote Woke Free Church.
Speaker AOkay.
Speaker ASo, you know, Joe Webman was supposed to be this big anti woke guy a few years ago, and, you know, he was in that crowd.
Speaker AAnd, and so, you know, Jeff's book Woke Free Church is one.
Speaker AIt's.
Speaker AIt's.
Speaker AIt's one of the several really good books that were written in that time.
Speaker AYou know, you think about Vodi Bauckham's book, you know.
Speaker BYeah, but Jeff wrote that one fam, the Flames, and that just.
Speaker BI don't know if he would have had a better position.
Speaker BIt could have been a great book.
Speaker AYeah.
Speaker ASo Vodivaka's book was Fault Lines.
Speaker AAnd then.
Speaker AAnd then you had John Harris's book.
Speaker AYou know, he wrote actually two.
Speaker AA couple books on social.
Speaker BMore with what was going on in the Southern Baptists.
Speaker BAnd I, I'm joking about with Jeff on, On Fanning Flames, but Jeff.
Speaker BJeff's book on Flame Flames was actually really good because he kind of showed both sides of the issues on the charismatic gifts.
Speaker BOkay.
Speaker BAnd.
Speaker BAnd I think, Jeff, I, I know.
Speaker BI hope I'm not married to.
Speaker BBut I think you tried to do a pretty decent job of saying, hey, let's be balanced here and give both, both positions to, to show where the issues are.
Speaker BAnd kind of like, I don't know, I walked away from the book saying it seemed like you're trying to say, hey, let's not be fighting so much over these issues, but find out where we can find some agreement.
Speaker BWould that be fair?
Speaker CI think that's fair.
Speaker CAnd yeah, thank you for saying that.
Speaker CI'm not a cessationist, but I think in the book I'm harder on the sensationalists than I am on the cessationists.
Speaker BWell, you'll be a cessationist in heaven, so don't worry about it.
Speaker BI just have to joke with him.
Speaker BBut.
Speaker BSo, Jeff, I know you.
Speaker BYou got to go because you got a meeting, but anything else you want to talk about as far as this?
Speaker BJust the whole issue, whether.
Speaker BWhether it's.
Speaker BWhether it's the Truth Fellowship.
Speaker BWe got a conference coming up in May in, In Tampa, Florida.
Speaker BWhether you want to talk about, you can mention.
Speaker BTo give more details about that you could talk about, you know, the book that we're trying to put out, the Truth Fellowship, the Debate Challenge, any.
Speaker BAnything you want to.
Speaker BTo promote.
Speaker CAwesome thank you.
Speaker CJust real quick.
Speaker CYeah.
Speaker CThetruthfellowship.org and then scroll down on that page and find the button attend.
Speaker CAnd you can find all the information about the conference.
Speaker CIt's at my brother's church in Tampa, Florida.
Speaker CSo we're going to all be there.
Speaker CAll of the.
Speaker CThe Truth Fellowship people will be speaking.
Speaker CWe have John Harris speaking, we have Russell Fuller speaking.
Speaker CAnd it's going to be an awesome time of fellowship.
Speaker CIt's a small conference, relatively speaking, so we'll get to spend time together, have meals together, hang out.
Speaker CSo I actually have a bunch of people from Cornerstone Church in New Jersey coming down.
Speaker CWe're going to get a really big Airbnb and have a bunch of rooms and have our church down there with like a little retreat together.
Speaker CSo, yeah, come on out.
Speaker CIt's May 1st, 2nd and 3rd.
Speaker CThe next thing is this debate challenge.
Speaker CI want to say something to Jordan hall, who is the guy who, with Joel Webbin, wrote the book the Hyphenated Heresy.
Speaker CJordan, I consider you a friend.
Speaker CJordan actually promoted some of my books when I put them out over the years when he used to be with Pulpit and Penn back in the day.
Speaker CAnd I consider him a friend.
Speaker CI do think he's gone in a bad direction, a very bad direction in the, the angle with the anti Jew stuff with, with Joel Wen.
Speaker CBut I think Jordan would be the first to say that, that he and I are friendly towards one another.
Speaker CThere's no animus.
Speaker CWe can come at it and just be impartial and let the Bible do the same and let the truth come out in that conversation.
Speaker CSo I would appeal to him at that level of a friend.
Speaker CAnd then as far as.
Speaker CWhat was the third thing that I was supposed to promote, Andrew?
Speaker BWell, whatever you might want, you know, your church, the Truth Fellowship, the conference.
Speaker CYeah.
Speaker COh, and the book.
Speaker CIt was the book.
Speaker CYeah, we are writing a book.
Speaker CSo the 12 guys that are kind of on the leadership council, I didn't really mean it to be 12.
Speaker CWe're not trying to be like 12 apostles or something, but that's kind of what it's come to right now.
Speaker CWe are each writing a chapter for a book that's going to come out and be available in May at the Truth Conference.
Speaker CAnd we'll probably call the book the Truth Fellowship or maybe something else.
Speaker CWe'll work on that between now and then.
Speaker CBut the chapters have been written, we're editing them, and that book will be available.
Speaker CSo for those of you who really want to speak into the culture and take a stand on not just the issue regarding Israel, but all of the conservative issues that we really need to be speaking up about, abolishing abortion, standing up against the LGBTQ indoctrination in the schools.
Speaker CWe need pastors that are going to get involved in that.
Speaker CSo, you know, if you're anywhere near Cornerstone Church in Mount Laurel, New Jersey, maybe you're a South Jersey person or just across the bridge in Pennsylvania, we would love for you to come be a part of our church.
Speaker CWe do things like go to the public library, libraries, and stand up against the pornography that they're pushing in there.
Speaker CWe've gone to, like, political meetings, town hall meetings.
Speaker CAndy Kim of the third district of New Jersey, and we brought like 50, it's probably more like 80 people from Cornerstone and just founded him in that meeting because he was trying to talk about abortion there.
Speaker CSo we brought homeschool families that had 13 kids or eight, and moms would just speak out about the value of each one of these individual lives.
Speaker CMy son actually spoke up to Andy Kim about how abortion is murdering kids and how do you know that one of those little babies wouldn't have grown up to be the next George Washington?
Speaker CAnd Andy Kim was literally just silent when said that.
Speaker CBut, yeah, so we would just encourage people to come be a part of Cornerstone Church if you're anywhere near.
Speaker CSo, Andrew, thank you so much for having me on again.
Speaker CI'm sorry, I do have to run.
Speaker BI get it.
Speaker BWe thank you for coming on.
Speaker BSo I, you know, I, I will say for folks, I, I, if you don't watch this live.
Speaker BI know, I know the majority of people listen on, on to the podcast, but if, if you don't watch it live, you miss the chat and we don't.
Speaker BI, I can't always put up everything in the chat, but we, we got an I, I convinced another, another Muslim.
Speaker BSee you, Jeff.
Speaker BThanks for coming on.
Speaker BAnd so he, look, I'm not one.
Speaker BMy English is bad, okay?
Speaker BI, my first language was basic.
Speaker BI moved on to Pascal, C, C, Java, JavaScript, and many other computer languages.
Speaker BEnglish wasn't one of them.
Speaker BBut I can't even understand what this guy's saying.
Speaker BI think he's probably a Muslim artist looking at the debates going on back and forth.
Speaker BBut he's like, oh, anyways, can you prove following a religion and having a high IQ when the country means says religion is true?
Speaker BEspecially if religion's book is full of contradictions, striving for eternity.
Speaker BI gotta tell you, son67fz, I don't even know what you're saying.
Speaker BI'm sorry, I don't get it.
Speaker BBut if you're asking how we can prove there's a one religion is true over another, that I could do objectively.
Speaker BOkay, so Seth, let me just take a quick second to do this for this fella is.
Speaker BOr maybe it's a girl.
Speaker BIs the fact that there is an objective way to know that there's.
Speaker BFirst off, there's only two religions in the entire world.
Speaker BThere's man made religion and divine religion.
Speaker BAnd that's it.
Speaker BThere's nothing else.
Speaker BIt's either made by God or made by man.
Speaker BAnd one thing we know about human beings, they always praise their own efforts.
Speaker BYou see that throughout all of human history.
Speaker BSo very simply, if you want to see the divine religion, look for the only religion that doesn't have human effort in getting right with God.
Speaker BSo Catholicism, you get right with God by doing faith plus works.
Speaker BModern Judaism, you get right with God by doing Torah, obeying the law.
Speaker BIslam, well, one good deed counts for 10 bad deeds.
Speaker BBuddhism and Hinduism, well, if you do good things in this life, you come back in a better next life.
Speaker BAll of those things are works.
Speaker BThose are all human effort.
Speaker BChristianity is the only religion that says humans can't do anything by getting to get right with God.
Speaker BGod does it.
Speaker BEvery other man made religion is a system of morality because there's a list of do's and don'ts.
Speaker BIt's a base, not on a.
Speaker BOn anything other than a religious system.
Speaker BChristianity is the only religion based on a person, a very specific person.
Speaker BA person is who is truly God and truly man.
Speaker BAnd that becomes important because being truly God, he can pay a fine for more than one person.
Speaker BAnd a fine that counts for all eternity.
Speaker BBecause when you and I break God's law.
Speaker BLaw because God is infinitely holy, that consequence is forever.
Speaker BSo you need someone who's eternal to pay it or you have to pay it for eternity.
Speaker BAnd so you need an eternal being who's also a human being to pay it for people.
Speaker BChristianity is the only religion that has that, by the way.
Speaker BThat's also why Christianity is the only religion that can have a God that's truly just and truly merciful.
Speaker BMerciful, because those two things are mutually exclusive.
Speaker BSee, in Islam they say, oh Allah most merciful.
Speaker BWell if he's most merciful, then he can't be.
Speaker BJust because justice says he has to pay the full weight of sin and mercy says he lets a pass on sin.
Speaker BHow do you get the two of those to be together.
Speaker BThe only way you can get those two of those together is at the cross of Jesus Christ.
Speaker BWe where the full weight of sin was paid upon Jesus Christ at the cross, he being God.
Speaker BAnd because he paid the full punishment justice, he can now offer mercy where we don't pay any of it because he paid it all.
Speaker BSo the full weight of punishment was paid by Christ.
Speaker BNo other religion has a God that can be both just and merciful is one or the other.
Speaker BAnd he challenged.
Speaker BHe, he was challenging, let's see, apologetic jaws.
Speaker BBecause apologetic drawers had said this.
Speaker BThe Quran says the Bible has no contradictions because no one can corrupt the words of Allah.
Speaker BAnd yet the, you know, he was saying that, that, you know, he's asking apologetic draws to prove that that's actually what the Quran says.
Speaker BThe Quran says you could trust the people of the book and you could trust the book.
Speaker BBook.
Speaker BNow the Quran later will say that the book's been corrupted the, the Bible.
Speaker BBut we have copies of the Bible that predate the Quran.
Speaker BTherefore we know that the Quran that they had before that was written and after that was written is the same.
Speaker BAnd yet the Quran says you can trust it and not trust it.
Speaker BSo which part of the Quran are we to trust?
Speaker BThis one that says you could trust the book or not trust the book.
Speaker BAnd for 76s FZ, I'll give the same challenge I gave to the other fella or woman.
Speaker BDon't know.
Speaker BBut if you're, if your writer of your Quran is God, then how come he doesn't know how to define the Trinity?
Speaker BBecause the Quran defines the Trinity as the Father, the mother and the Son.
Speaker BNo Christian calls Mary God.
Speaker BNot even the Catholics who give her divine attributes will say she's God, but the Quran does.
Speaker BSo did Allah just not know what Christianity believes?
Speaker BI'm just asking a question here, like Candace Owens.
Speaker BAll right, so, so Seth, so let's talk more about this and specifically let's move on to, you know, Joel Webbing and kind of some of the things that he's been, he's been teaching.
Speaker AYeah.
Speaker ASo, so yeah, Joel Webb.
Speaker AAnd he's kind of a, this is a guy I used to listen to a few years ago.
Speaker AAnd, and he really, I mean, honestly appreciate it.
Speaker AKind of like Tucker Carlson.
Speaker AI mean they followed a similar path where, you know, I used to listen and be like, oh yeah, this guy is saying a lot of good things.
Speaker AAnd, and of course, Joe Webb was, he was associated with our friend John Harris.
Speaker AAnd I think that gave Joel A lot of credibility.
Speaker AAnd I know that John really liked him too.
Speaker AAnd, you know, John was a guy with good discernment, you know, so.
Speaker BAnd I had said this last week is that I, I was on a.
Speaker BOn John's program.
Speaker BThis is the only interaction I've had with Joel Webbing was that John.
Speaker BJohn had both Joel and I on the program to talk about coming out of charismatic background to reform background.
Speaker BI knew nothing about Joel before.
Speaker BHaven't followed him at all.
Speaker BSo I, I don't particularly have a dog in the race with this because I don't follow him at all.
Speaker BI've heard the things he.
Speaker BThat people have shared and he said, and I'm like, yeah, I would disagree with that.
Speaker BBut, you know, when that.
Speaker BI think I told you guys off air last week was when, when that statement came out from the, the church about him saying he was disqualified.
Speaker BThat.
Speaker BAnd, you know, they had, they came out about it, but there were so many errors in that.
Speaker BI, I almost.
Speaker BA lot of people asked me to, to talk about because so many people were like, oh, this clearly disqualifies him.
Speaker BLike, no, no, I actually was defending Joel to, To folks with that because just based on that letter, there were some real clear issues with that, I thought with the church, with what they.
Speaker BI think it was more them covering.
Speaker BCovering their.
Speaker BThemselves after the fact in that letter to me, because it was like they're saying, oh, we always said he was disqualified, but you sent him out.
Speaker BLike, you don't send a guy out that you say is disqualified.
Speaker BYou know, so I saw a lot of problems with that letter, and I thought just from the little bit that I had, I, I was defending Joel Webbing on that, even though I don't follow him and know him, but that's the complete of my interaction with him.
Speaker BSo a lot of what you said to me was, was hearing it from you and going, okay, well, this is problematic.
Speaker BAnd yeah, let's.
Speaker BWe.
Speaker BThere needs to be a debate on this.
Speaker AYeah, yeah.
Speaker AI've never had, you know, I've never had any personal interaction with him, but again, I, I listened to him a lot, you know, back in the day, you know, again, you know, during the height of COVID and the, you know, the social justice push from the left, you know, that of course, the social justice really invaded evangelicalism.
Speaker AAnd so he was a, you know, he was a pretty clear voice, you know, during that time that I appreciate and I even recommended him to some people.
Speaker ALike, yeah, you should listen to this guy.
Speaker AHe.
Speaker AHe says good things and, you know, and honestly, if I were to go back and listen to some of his old stuff, I, I'd probably still love it, you know, because it, he said a lot of true things back then, but again, kind of like Dr. Carlson, there was a turn that took place and, and I, I didn't really notice it until probably the last year, maybe year and a half, where again, he started to go down this anti Jewish, anti Israel path.
Speaker ALet me give you an example here.
Speaker AHe, in, you know, on his X account, what he said is this.
Speaker ABack when the United States and Israel were sending missiles to Iran to take out their, their nuclear facilities, this is what he said.
Speaker AIsrael did not attack Iran because Iran was about to attack Israel.
Speaker AIsrael attacked Iran because there was about to be peace.
Speaker AWow.
Speaker AOkay.
Speaker AYeah, so you kind of get a flavor of his thinking.
Speaker AAgain.
Speaker AThis, it's this, I, it's this ideology, right.
Speaker AHe sees every, everything through this lens of they're the bad guy.
Speaker AYou know, they're, you know, Iran's really not that bad.
Speaker AIt's, it's Israel.
Speaker AThey're the ones who want war.
Speaker BYou know, they're, Is that why all the people are on the streets, like, pulling off their burkas and, and, you know, protesting their government there because they so love the country and the, the malas.
Speaker BRight.
Speaker AYep.
Speaker AYeah.
Speaker AI'm grateful to have Babylon be on our side because they've actually written a couple articles against Tucker Carlson and one was after the Nick Fuentes interview, they, Babylon B said that Tucker Carlson interviewed Sasquatch and didn't ask him any hard questions and just gave him a softball interview.
Speaker AYes, that was really good.
Speaker AAnd then, and then they said Megyn Kelly defended him.
Speaker AYou know, you know, that's, that's been kind of the pattern.
Speaker AYou know, she's always defending Tucker, but, but then, so Babylon me also did another one about, about Tucker recently with Iran, you know, that Tucker doesn't understand why the Iranians are rebelling against their leadership, you know, because he's been praising him so much.
Speaker AYeah, so, yeah, so, so it's very interesting to see this.
Speaker AYeah.
Speaker ASo anyway, so webbing has followed, you know, the, the same pattern here.
Speaker AOf course.
Speaker AYou know, he, you know, I, I had a conversation of, with John Harris and I, I, you know, I, and I, I, I, I think that it's okay for me to say this because the Crisis King conference is public.
Speaker AAnybody can go see it.
Speaker AYou know, and it basically, John and a number of guys there were like, this is really dark.
Speaker AYou know, when they went to that conference last spring.
Speaker AAndrew, were you aware of that conference that was, that was held?
Speaker BYeah, I, I vaguely.
Speaker BI didn't really follow it.
Speaker BI, I heard more about it after the fact.
Speaker AYeah, there was kind of a breakup between, yeah, I guess there was a breakup between like Joe Webb and James White and Doug Wilson and those guys were, I think was it.
Speaker AJoel Boot was another one where, you know, these are all post millennials, but they, the, you know, James White and Doug Wilson and Boot all realized, oh wait, he's really going down this white supremacy path, this, you know, this Jewish hatred path.
Speaker AAnd, and, and they predicted back then that he was only going to get some of the things he said concerned them and they've only been proved right.
Speaker AYou know, as time has gone on, it's gotten worse and worse as it's gone on.
Speaker AYeah, so, so yeah, that, you know, the, you know, I, I heard that, you know, white supremacists were actually attending his church and you know, right around the time he was, he was holding the Christ as King conference.
Speaker AAnd, and then what happened was as time went on, you know, he hinted that, you know, he's, he's interested in possibly having Nick Fuentes come speak at a future conference and that he did actually more than that.
Speaker AYou know, he did a 10 part, he's doing a 10 part interview with Nick Fuentes.
Speaker AOkay.
Speaker AAgain, yeah.
Speaker AIf people don't understand who Nick Fuentes is, you probably do by, by, I think a lot of people do at this point because, you know, Tucker Carlson, of course, interviewed Nick Fuentes and.
Speaker BWell, I know, I know.
Speaker AYeah.
Speaker BYou know, Ben Shapiro speaks highly of him.
Speaker AYeah, that's right.
Speaker AYeah.
Speaker AYeah.
Speaker AAnd of course, Charlie Kirk, when he was still alive, he did not, he.
Speaker BWas not a fan.
Speaker AOh, no.
Speaker BYeah.
Speaker ACharlie Kirk called Nick Fuentes vermin and he would not even now, he would not even debate him because he didn't want to give him the time of day, you know, so.
Speaker AYeah, so Ben Shapiro and Charlie Kirk both, you know, even in the interview that Joel Webbing had with Nick Fuentes, he, he highlighted those two guys as his greatest, you know, greatest opposers in the conservative movement.
Speaker AYeah, yeah.
Speaker ASo, so yeah, this 10 part interview that, that Joe Webbin is doing with Nick Fuentes is if anyone had any doubt, it's so crystal clear at this point what, what Joel Webbin is doing.
Speaker AI mean, he's again, basically agreeing with most of what Nick Fuentes says.
Speaker ANow here's what's crazy.
Speaker AIf you listen to the, the first interview he does with Nick Fuentes, he says at the beginning, he says, let's go back to 2015 or 2014 before anyone really took Donald Trump's seriously.
Speaker AAnd you know, could you imagine being the guy who interviewed Donald Trump only to see his rise into power?
Speaker ASo he compared Donald Trump before he, before anyone knew he had a chance to Nick Fuentes basically saying he was Joe.
Speaker AEvan is predicting that Nick Fuentes, he's either going to be the future president.
Speaker AOkay, I kid you not.
Speaker AHe said this.
Speaker AHe's either going to be the future president or the kingmaker.
Speaker AThe, the one that all the hot candidates are gonna, they're gonna want his endorsement.
Speaker ALike, like what delusional world is he in just to make such a comment?
Speaker ADoes Nick Fuentes have any connections with anybody now?
Speaker BYeah, I never actually heard about him until recently.
Speaker BSo maybe he had a following after there.
Speaker BYou know.
Speaker BNow it is interesting because one of the things, one of the few things I have have heard about him is the fact that most of his following initially was fake bots.
Speaker BAnd so maybe he doesn't have so much of a following as we think.
Speaker AWell, it might be that and it might be people in their parents basement who just sit around and watch Nick Fuentes videos all day.
Speaker AAnd you know, where he doesn't have nearly as big of an audience as.
Speaker BA couple of them are in the chat right now.
Speaker BThe Muslim dude in the chat is.
Speaker BI think he's in his mommy's basement.
Speaker AYeah, yeah, that's right.
Speaker AYep.
Speaker ASo I don't know how big of a following he actually has, but it does.
Speaker AThe group that he, that again, all these guys are reaching, whether it's Nick Fuentes, whether it's Tucker Carlson, whether it is Joel Webbing, it's white young men, that's the group that they're pulling in.
Speaker AAnd so, so Andrew, I think at the Truth Fellowship, we really need to keep an eye on that and say, okay, don't go after these guys.
Speaker AThis is not good.
Speaker AThis is not going to lead you down a good path because basically what they're saying is you guys have been set up to fail.
Speaker AYou know, there's crippling debt, there's, there's really no future for you because everything is working against you.
Speaker AThe powers that be are working against you.
Speaker ASo really the only response is just get really angry, you know, just get angry at these people.
Speaker ABlame the Jews, right?
Speaker ABlame the boomers, you know, blame anybody else who, who might get in your way.
Speaker ABut yeah, a lot of it is directed at, you know, it, oh, it's the Jews fault.
Speaker ARight.
Speaker BSo maybe I should do the talk that I did, Jeffrey Rice's Church on the.
Speaker BWhich is now an article on Truthscript on difference between true ministry and platform building.
Speaker AYes, that would be good.
Speaker AOkay, so someone, someone I know actually, you know, actually told me that Joe Webbing actually admitted that the more he spread Jewish hatred, the more he said against the Jews, the more views he got.
Speaker AAnd his, his channel absolutely exploded once he went down that path.
Speaker BI mean, he was seeing it with all of them.
Speaker BYou're seeing it.
Speaker BCandace, Owen, Tucker Carlson, all these people, they found something that brings in a new audience.
Speaker BAnd because it's really this simple, if your goal is platform, then you don't care for truth.
Speaker BTruth.
Speaker BYou care for whatever gets you clicks.
Speaker BAnd if you care for truth, you're not going to have as big of a platform because you're gonna basically alienate a whole lot of people that could be following you if you just say what they want to hear.
Speaker BWell, you know, it's more important to say what God wants to hear than what you want to hear.
Speaker BYou know, and at least I can, I can only speak for myself, you know, I'm less interested in what you think I should be saying.
Speaker BAnd I care very much about what God thinks I should be saying.
Speaker BAnd if you are in the boat where you're more concerned about what you think others will like to hear versus what God wants to hear, get out of all public ministry.
Speaker BPublic anything, please.
Speaker BOh, sorry.
Speaker AYep.
Speaker AYeah, that's right.
Speaker AAnd that's a huge problem in our day, is there, is there is this desire to do platform building.
Speaker AAnd I tell you, I tell you what, Andrew, Negative.
Speaker BRight?
Speaker AI mean, you know, I'm a local church pastor.
Speaker AI don't know where these guys get the time.
Speaker AI mean, I, I've had to do two funerals in the last three weeks.
Speaker AI got another couple funerals coming up.
Speaker AI'm just thinking, I mean, just, just, just the pastoral care that needs to take place at a local church.
Speaker AI can get away for an hour or two talking to you.
Speaker BAre you saying, Seth, are you saying people are dying to get out of your church?
Speaker AYeah.
Speaker AYeah.
Speaker AI hope not.
Speaker ANo, no.
Speaker AYeah.
Speaker ANo, but it's just, it's just the reality of ministry, right?
Speaker AI mean, you're going to face crises.
Speaker AYou're going to, you're, you're going to face all kinds of challenges.
Speaker AI mean, our call as pastors is to love the people, you know, to preach the word faithfully, to defend the truth and, and there's nothing in the Bible that says anything about growing an audience.
Speaker ARight?
Speaker AGrowing.
Speaker AWhether, whether in your church or, or on the Internet.
Speaker ANo, I think, I think healthy churches tend to grow.
Speaker AThey tend to be vibrant.
Speaker AYou know, you see that.
Speaker ABut that being said, you know, we, we should not judge our, the success of our ministry based off of how many clicks we get, how many comments we get, how much money comes from that.
Speaker AI think in a lot of ways it's a curse.
Speaker AAnd I, you know, I think any pastor out there listening to this, if, if nobody knows your name, don't, don't, don't be sad about that.
Speaker AYou know, it's important that Christ knows your name, that Christ knows what's going on in your ministry, that Christ is pleased with your ministry.
Speaker ARight.
Speaker AAnd, yeah, because I, I have so many concerns about Joel Webbing.
Speaker AOne of them is the platform, you know, like you said, the platform building.
Speaker AAnother one is the Jewish hatred.
Speaker ABut I, but even just the, you know, it just, it's just obvious self promotion and like, that is the opposite of what pastoral ministry is supposed to be.
Speaker AI mean, it's, we're supposed to be magnifying Christ.
Speaker AWe're supposed to be, you know, taking a bullet for people and, you know, laying out our life as Christ did.
Speaker AInstead, it's, I chose this path in order to make a name for myself.
Speaker ARight?
Speaker AI mean, it's, it's, it's.
Speaker AThat's, that's what it's turned out into, out to be for I think some guys.
Speaker AAnd, and I, it's sad for us to say that, you know, but it's, it's, it's.
Speaker AI think it's pretty obvious what's taking place here.
Speaker ABut, but like you, like you said, Andrew, if he, if he is a man of the truth, debate us, right?
Speaker AAnd then we'll, we'll find out, right?
Speaker BThen, then at least the issues are out on the table, right?
Speaker BI mean, this is, this is an important thing for us to be able to, if we're going to say we stand on the truth, then it, it, you know, I had a lot of people who were against when I, when I debated RA Fuentes.
Speaker BHe's, he was out in the Philippines.
Speaker BHe challenged James White, myself, others.
Speaker BAnd he was like, there's no, there's no reform person that'll debate me.
Speaker BI, I'll debate you.
Speaker BI did the debate.
Speaker BHe still hasn't gotten over it.
Speaker BHe still talks about me.
Speaker BMe, I mean, was funny because I proved he's a Calvinist and he wanted to.
Speaker BAnd the, the issue he wanted debate is that Calvinism is useless and dangerous, and yet he doesn't know Calvinism.
Speaker BAnd so James was like, yeah, you're not worth my time.
Speaker BBecause James, James is looking for formal debates that are going to be a good exchange of ideas that are going to be meat, he hopes meaty in the content because as he's getting older, the debates are what's going to last.
Speaker BAnd, and people are going to be viewing and see the, the, the specifics of the issues.
Speaker BAnd that's what's.
Speaker BWhat is good out of a good debate.
Speaker BI've had plenty of debates with people that you're like, I mean, I did a debate once with a guy on human secularism.
Speaker BHe wanted to debate that human secularism is superior to Christianity.
Speaker BI am convinced, and so was the moderator, that the guy was playing video games while I was giving my opening statement and my rebuttals.
Speaker BWe came to the, the cross examination.
Speaker BAnd he did a, a rebuttal.
Speaker BAnd I'm like messaging the moderator going, do I do the cross examination or just a rebuttal?
Speaker BHe goes, do a rebuttal and then I'll explain to him the rules again.
Speaker BAnd so he never asked me any questions in the debate.
Speaker BHe went back to another rebuttal.
Speaker BI'm like, I think this guy wants a monologue.
Speaker BAnd the, the key of a debate is cross examination.
Speaker BBut you see, if a person doesn't have a strong argument, they want to avoid cross examination.
Speaker BI mean, a great example of that was when Matt Slick and Matt Dillahunty, we, we, we, Matt Slick and I came up with what we called the Dillahunty dodge.
Speaker BBecause what Dillahunty does is he's a professing atheist that when he wants to avoid, he just avoid, avoids having to deal with issues.
Speaker BHe's, he always puts everyone else on the defensive and he never had to defend his arguments.
Speaker BSo when he finally, you know, and he was dodging Matt Slick in a debate, so when he finally said, fine, we'll do it, the one thing I said, Matt, he has to be on the defensive.
Speaker BSo make him take a positive affirmation in the debate.
Speaker BSo he did.
Speaker BHe took the, the affirmation that Christianity, that human secularism is superior to Christianity.
Speaker BSame debate topic that I had done with that other guy, and it was so funny.
Speaker BAnd folks, go check out that debate.
Speaker BMatt Slick.
Speaker BMatt Dillahunty.
Speaker BBecause you'll see Matt Dillahunty admits that defending an argument is hard.
Speaker BAnd Matt Slick gave him a way out.
Speaker BMatt Slick left him off the hook because the guy in soon as cross examination started, he wanted out of there because he couldn't defend his argument.
Speaker BAnd he's like, can we just have a discussion?
Speaker BMatt's like, all right, let's.
Speaker BLet's just have a discussion.
Speaker BMatt was kind to Matt Slick was kind to Matt Delahunty because Matt Dillahunty couldn't defend his arguments.
Speaker BThat's the reason that I think that some people don't.
Speaker BThey, they talk tough.
Speaker BEven as we have the guy in chat here, the two Muslims, you don't see them coming into the program.
Speaker BWhy?
Speaker BBecause they can't defend their argument.
Speaker BThey could just sit here as this guy's doing, you know, 76FZ, he.
Speaker BOh, you're lying.
Speaker BYou're lying.
Speaker BI'm going to try to address his comments before we get done.
Speaker BBut yeah, I mean, that's the thing, Seth, is that guys who they, they know they can't defend their own arguments.
Speaker BThey only want a monologue.
Speaker BThey want to only speak to their audience without anyone challenging them.
Speaker BAnd I'm just going to say this because I got this with like three weeks ago, someone told me that I am afraid to debate him.
Speaker AOkay?
Speaker BSo just for the record, every week I start this show saying that anyone can come in.
Speaker BYou go to apologexlive.com you can come in.
Speaker BYou could be all prepared all you want for your debate.
Speaker BI don't even know you want to debate.
Speaker BYou can come on in and have your debate.
Speaker BDo I seem like someone afraid of a debate?
Speaker BI don't think so.
Speaker BI'm not afraid of a debate.
Speaker BI'll debate anyone, anywhere, anytime.
Speaker BLet's have it.
Speaker BIt's every Thursday night.
Speaker BYou could debate me.
Speaker BYou wanted to Debate Islam for 76 FZ.
Speaker BYou can come on in here.
Speaker BLet's see how you do.
Speaker BAll I'm going to do is ask you questions.
Speaker BYou know why a guy like that won't come in?
Speaker BBecause you know you can't defend your debate.
Speaker BYou know you can't defend your arguments.
Speaker BWhy will Joel Webb and I, in my personal opinion, Seth, I could be wrong.
Speaker BI don't think he's going to take your challenge.
Speaker BWhy?
Speaker BI don't think he could defend the arguments he makes against Israel in a case where someone like you is going to challenge him.
Speaker BThat's my guess.
Speaker BI could be wrong, but I don't think I am.
Speaker ASo, yeah, yeah, I guess we.
Speaker AI.
Speaker AMy hope would be that he would see it right.
Speaker AAnd you Know, I don't know if someone knows him or consented to him at least.
Speaker AYeah, that would, that if we know that he saw it, then we could say, well, he just didn't want to debate us.
Speaker ARight.
Speaker ASo, but, well, you know, look, I.
Speaker BI there, we could tag them.
Speaker BI mean, there's people we know that know him.
Speaker BWe'll let them know.
Speaker BBut, you know, let's talk.
Speaker BYou, you had an article that you wrote on Truth Script that I want to encourage people to go check out.
Speaker BI had read that since last week when you, you sent it to me.
Speaker BSo why don't we talk about that for a bit, you know?
Speaker BYou know, for.
Speaker BWe got about 15 minutes left before I want to, I want to try to address some of the comments from this Muslim dude in the, in the chat, you know, because it's kind of interesting because he said, I said something that I didn't say, so I want to at least have fun with that.
Speaker BBut the article you had written on truscript let folks know where they can find that, at least what the title is, and, and a little bit about the content of that, because I thought it was a really good article.
Speaker AYeah.
Speaker AYeah.
Speaker ASo if you go to truscript.com you can, you can find it there.
Speaker AIt's, it's a call to stand against the obsessive hatred of Jews.
Speaker AYou can find that article there.
Speaker AAnd it's actually, it's very similar to the, the chapter that I'm writing in the Truth Fellowship book that's gonna, that's gonna be coming out in the next few months.
Speaker AAnd yeah, it's, it's just, I, Again, I, I appreciate truscript for publishing it because a lot of the guys who were with us, linked arms with us during the social justice fight are now kind of have gone down this path.
Speaker AAnd you know, Jeff, Jeff even mentioned like, like J.D.
Speaker Ahall, for example.
Speaker AYou know, he's one who's gone down this path.
Speaker AAnd then others, you know, Joel Webin.
Speaker AI could, I could name some others.
Speaker BToo, but see, see, I, I can.
Speaker BOkay.
Speaker BYeah, I'm gonna get myself in trouble.
Speaker BPastor Seth.
Speaker BSorry.
Speaker AOkay, yeah, go for it.
Speaker BI don't know Joel Webin.
Speaker BI do know Jordan, and Jordan is absolutely a platform builder.
Speaker BHe, he, I, I, I'm not surprised.
Speaker BIf he sees a platform he could jump on to get a name recognition for himself, he'll do it now, you know, so if, if you're saying the same of, of Joel, I could see where they can marry up together.
Speaker AAnybody, you know, so anybody who is linking ours with these guys?
Speaker AI, I would.
Speaker AIt's reasonable to conclude that they are platform builders.
Speaker AI, you know, unless they can show us otherwise.
Speaker AYeah, it's reasonable to conclude that.
Speaker AWhich, yeah, yeah, it is sad.
Speaker AWe don't want to say that about these guys, but, yeah, when you're presenting with overwhelming evidence over the years, it's like, okay, I think I need to make that convincing conclusion.
Speaker BSo let me ask you this, because you're more familiar with Joel than I am.
Speaker BHumble Clay, one of our regular listeners here, says at Apologetics Live, Just to clarify, Webbin is the dude that said black folk are less likely to be saved or some such nonsense.
Speaker BDo you know anything about that?
Speaker AYeah, I, I wonder if he's referencing the, the Roselan debate that he did, because they, they discussed that topic.
Speaker AI, I, I cannot speak intelligently on it because I, I'd have to go back and look at that, you know, but, yeah, I mean, there are, I will say this.
Speaker AStatements such as that are, are being spoken pretty, pretty frequently by.
Speaker AYeah, it's, it's almost like Christianity is a, is a white man's religion.
Speaker AAnd of course, it's, it takes things that are reasonable and true to just extremes.
Speaker ALike, for example, you know, we have a Protestant background.
Speaker ARight.
Speaker AA white Protestant, you know, Anglo.
Speaker AThat's the history of our nation.
Speaker ARight.
Speaker AAnd we're very grateful for that.
Speaker AThe foundation of Christianity that's in our.
Speaker BNation theologians was an African, Augustine.
Speaker AYes.
Speaker BI mean, much of our theology is based off of him.
Speaker BMuch of our, the formulation of our theology, and many Calvin, Luther, others who go back to Augustine.
Speaker BHe was black.
Speaker BHe was African.
Speaker AYeah, yeah, yeah, there you go.
Speaker AYeah.
Speaker ASo, yeah.
Speaker AAnd of course, you know, the 39 of the 40 books of the Bible were written by Jewish, Jewish men.
Speaker ASo.
Speaker BOkay, so, so apologetic Jaws says James White debated Corey Miller over the, quote, black people are less likely to be saved, unquote, statement.
Speaker BAnd I remember that debate.
Speaker BI didn't watch it yet.
Speaker AYeah.
Speaker AYeah.
Speaker ASo Corey Mueller is another big name in this.
Speaker AReally.
Speaker AI mean, it's racist.
Speaker ASuppose.
Speaker ALet's call it what it is.
Speaker BHey, let's maybe Corey Miller, Joel Webbin versus you and Pastor Jeff.
Speaker AYeah, there we go.
Speaker AYeah.
Speaker AI don't know.
Speaker AI don't.
Speaker ACorey Baller might even be too extreme for Joel Webbing.
Speaker AThat might actually hurt his platform.
Speaker AYeah, but, but, yeah, no, no, Corey Mahler, I mean, he has said things like, not one Jew will be in heaven, you know, so.
Speaker ASorry.
Speaker ASorry, Andrew.
Speaker AYeah, yeah, I know.
Speaker BI, I, well, I Think I, I share with you, with you guys.
Speaker BMaybe offline last week, but I, I had a, a pastor who contacted me after October 7th, probably about a year after.
Speaker BTook.
Speaker BIt took some time, but I, I had a pastor who contacted me and told me not only am I not saved, I can never be saved because I'm from Jewish background.
Speaker BAnd I was just like, who is it?
Speaker BThat's just nuts.
Speaker AHe was a podcaster.
Speaker BNo, no, no.
Speaker BA pastor.
Speaker AA pastor.
Speaker AOh, pastor.
Speaker AEven worse.
Speaker AOh, boy.
Speaker BI hadn't, I mean, I hadn't spoken at his church for now it's got to be like, oh, yeah, 10, 12 years at least.
Speaker BAnd.
Speaker BBut yeah, no, he sent an email.
Speaker BI hadn't heard from him in years.
Speaker BSent an email and said that he just to.
Speaker BInformed me that he's not using any of our materials at striving fraternity.
Speaker BHe can't endorse anything I do because I'm not saved.
Speaker BAnd I can't be saved because I'm Jewish.
Speaker BAnd I was like, you know, at this point, there's, there's actually nothing that I'm gonna respond to with that guy.
Speaker BI'm just like, I, I think my response was, thanks for letting me know.
Speaker AThat's, that's about it.
Speaker BI was just like, okay, because it's like, you're too far gone at that point.
Speaker BAnd I, like, I hadn't spoken to the guy in years, but you feel the need to like, get this off your chest.
Speaker BOkay.
Speaker BI hope you feel better about yourself.
Speaker AYep, that's right.
Speaker AYeah.
Speaker AYeah.
Speaker ASo, I mean, those, those comments are being spoken out there.
Speaker AAnd, and again, it's been, it's meant.
Speaker AIt's been mainstreamed by certain people.
Speaker AEven, you know, even like a Joel Webbing is mainstreaming and Nick Fuentes.
Speaker ASo Joe Webbing isn't going to go right out and say the things that Nick Fuentes says, but he platforms them.
Speaker AYou know, he's, and he's, he's really affirming what he's saying by having him on his program.
Speaker AYou know, Tucker Carlson did the same thing with Nick Fuentes.
Speaker ARight.
Speaker ASo, so you're, you're seeing these radical views being, being platformed.
Speaker BAnd his argument, his argument that he had with Megyn Kelly was he, he was just, he wants to understand their views.
Speaker BHe's not, he was, it was new to him and he wants to just hear what they have to say.
Speaker BBut you point out it or you pointed out.
Speaker BSorry.
Speaker BThe difference with his interview with, you know, Ted Cruz.
Speaker BThere wasn't a. I, I just Want to let you voice your opinion.
Speaker BI mean, Ted Cruz was in the Bait Club in high school.
Speaker BHe was very good at debate.
Speaker BHe really is.
Speaker BI mean, he, he's very good at debate.
Speaker BTucker Carlson was going at him.
Speaker BIt, it was a very contentious and they both admitted it, but that wasn't the case with some of these others.
Speaker AYeah, yeah, yeah, that's right.
Speaker AYeah, he, you can tell that he despises Ted Cruz.
Speaker AIt's really set.
Speaker AYeah, I mean, it's, it's pretty obvious.
Speaker AAnd.
Speaker AYeah, so, so, yeah, there's, you know, yeah.
Speaker AJoe Webbing is consistently going after Israel and, and the Jews and, and he's even on Christmas, he posted something that, you know, this is a Christian holiday, not a Jewish holiday.
Speaker AIt's like, like what a ridiculous statement that that is.
Speaker BYou mean Passover?
Speaker BThat's not Jewish.
Speaker AOh, the Christmas holiday.
Speaker AYeah.
Speaker BOh, Christmas.
Speaker AYeah.
Speaker AYeah.
Speaker AHe's like, christmas is a Christian, you know, so take that, Jews.
Speaker AYeah, it's like, so, yeah, there's again, he, he's going after views.
Speaker AI mean, he totally, he, he realized there's a, there's a gold mine.
Speaker AAnd you know, you wonder how many of them are bots.
Speaker ARight.
Speaker ABut there's a gold mine out there that, that he has found.
Speaker AAnd you know, they're, they call it the new Christian.
Speaker ARight.
Speaker AThey call it the woke.
Speaker ARight.
Speaker ABut it's.
Speaker AWe, we need to be very clear to, to just to, to draw a line and say, this is not Christianity.
Speaker AThis in the political movement.
Speaker AThis is not political conservatism.
Speaker AThis is, this is ugly.
Speaker AAnd, and I don't know if you said Ben Shapiro actually did a.
Speaker AGave a speech at the Turning Point event now, minus the language.
Speaker AHe used some really bad language, but minus the language.
Speaker AI mean, what he said was right on the money.
Speaker AYou know, he said, you know, that these guys like Carlson.
Speaker AAnd I would say this for Webbing too.
Speaker AYou know, Carlson in the political realm and then Webbing in the church realm, they've become launderers of bad ideas.
Speaker AYeah.
Speaker BYou know, I want to give kudos to Turning Point because, you know, they, they did not say to Ben Shapiro publicly at least, that what he said was out of line.
Speaker BThey were like, hey, he's got the freedom of speech to say it.
Speaker BAnd he, he just, he was one of the early people.
Speaker BI, I wonder, I really do wonder if he was like, hey, can I be on before any of these others?
Speaker BLike, I want to be on early because he threw the gauntlet down.
Speaker BAnd in what he did that actually Turned where, I mean, Tucker responded like there was a lot of response to that and he just threw it out there like, okay, let's get this issue on the table.
Speaker BAnd I think that if, if, I don't know for sure, if he did ask to go up early, he wanted to have to give them a chance to respond to it.
Speaker BRight.
Speaker BAnd, and if he did that, then I'd have more credit, he'd have more credibility with me in the, in the sense that he said, okay, hey, let them have the last word, but I'm throwing the gauntlet down.
Speaker BRight.
Speaker BVersus afterwards, where they have no time to respond.
Speaker BRight.
Speaker BOther than to their audience.
Speaker BHe, he wanted them to respond to the audience that was there.
Speaker AYeah.
Speaker AAnd they, they didn't, you know, obviously they, they didn't really address.
Speaker ABasically it was all Tucker Carlson said was, Ben Shapiro doesn't want JD Vance to win in 2028.
Speaker AYou know, which is a really interesting thing for Tucker Carlson to say because it, it does make me concerned about a little bit about J.D.
Speaker Avance.
Speaker AAnd I, and I've talked with some friends of mine.
Speaker BSomeone in the chat said that Tucker Carlson's son works for J.D.
Speaker Bvance.
Speaker AThat's true.
Speaker AThat's true.
Speaker BI didn't know that.
Speaker AYeah.
Speaker AYeah.
Speaker ASo that, you know, of course, this, it's, you know, you can call this again, you call it the New Christian right, you.
Speaker AOr the New conservative movement, you, you can call it the, the woke.
Speaker ARight.
Speaker ABut, but some would call it the groiper movement, you know, and, and if, if a political candidate cannot condemn the graper movement, we got a problem on our hands.
Speaker AAnd I, and to this, because J.D.
Speaker Avance was recently asked, is there an anti Semitism problem in the Republican Party?
Speaker AAnd he said no, which is, which is incredibly concerning to me because is like it is a problem.
Speaker AIt's a huge problem within the conservative movement right now.
Speaker BIt hasn't been until, really until I think the last year or so.
Speaker AYeah, yeah, it's skyrocketed.
Speaker AYou know, it's, it's been building, but it's really, it really exploded in the last year or two.
Speaker AYeah.
Speaker ASo.
Speaker ASo I, yeah, the connection with Vance to Tucker Carlson, that, that is concerning for me as I look ahead to the future of the, you know, the political conservative movement.
Speaker ABut I think this, I think this is going to be a major issue in the 2028 election.
Speaker BYeah.
Speaker BSo you might be right.
Speaker BIt'll be interesting to see.
Speaker AYeah.
Speaker BLet me, I, I wanna, if I can, I want to address some of the comments here from this Muslim fellow who is just going off for a while now.
Speaker BAnd you know, so it's just some comments that we've had apologetic draws earlier when you were talking about Islam says America needs, needs to take a page from the Borg, meaning when you were referring to the fact that they need to, to assimilate into America.
Speaker BAnd that actually is what immigration is, is that they need to assimilate.
Speaker BAnd, and so here's some comments from this Muslim fellow.
Speaker BHe says the angel, the angel, if you're not familiar, the angel is what the Muslims will refer to as the New Testament and the Torah, which I just want you to notice how he spells Torah because that's not even close to how you would spell Torah.
Speaker BBut I know my English is not so good, but dude, yours is worse than my.
Speaker BLike, if I'm, if I can say that your English is bad, it's really bad because mine is not that great.
Speaker BAll right, so he says the angel in the Torah got.
Speaker BBecause Allah promised, you know, promised to protect them or didn't.
Speaker BDidn't promise to protect them.
Speaker BSo that's actually not true because in the Quran it says that you can trust the book and the people of the book.
Speaker BBut here's the thing.
Speaker B76 SF, if you believe that God wrote in, you know that what they would argue God wrote through Moses and it got corrupted through David and it got corrupted through Jesus and it got corrupted.
Speaker BAnd you believe that the Prophet Muhammad didn't get corrupted.
Speaker BWell, you know, the first three, we don't have evidence that there were multiple copies that had to be destroyed.
Speaker BBut on the fourth one, we do your third, your third imam, okay, Uthman, he, he got the, he was the first one to have the, the Quran written and he had all the people that supposedly knew it by verbatim.
Speaker BAnd you know this, if you know your Muslim history, had them write it down because they, the people were dying in the war, they write down the Quran and he gives an edict to burn the abhorrent texts.
Speaker BSo the simple question, 76s FZ, how do you know he burned the right one?
Speaker BIf God couldn't keep his word, according to you the first three times, why do you think he kept it the fourth time?
Speaker BWe, when there was an edict, when it was known that the guys who memorized the Quran from Muhammad had differences in the way they memorized it.
Speaker BI'm just asking a logical question.
Speaker BIf God couldn't keep it the first three times, why do you think he can keep it the fourth?
Speaker BNow, Seth, I don't know about you.
Speaker BIf I got onto a plane and the pilot said, Hey, 75% of the time we crash, but don't worry, we'll survive this one.
Speaker BI'm getting off that plane.
Speaker BRight.
Speaker BSo he, he claims, he said striving fraternity.
Speaker BYou said earlier some high IQ guy was Christian.
Speaker BSo I asked how does does him giving a high IQ and being a Christian proof Christianity true?
Speaker BWell first off, that wasn't me, that was Pastor Jeff that mentioned the IQ and marrying of cousins.
Speaker BAnd neither of those were in a argument of proving Christianity true.
Speaker BWe didn't say a high IQ proves Christianity true.
Speaker BAt any point during this show.
Speaker BYou can go back and re listen.
Speaker BBut we never said that.
Speaker BOkay.
Speaker BNow we talked about Marion and he was, he, he made this claim you Christians do Dawa, which is to worship to her and pray to her statue.
Speaker BNo, that's Roman Catholics and they're going to hell just like you.
Speaker BHe, he, you know, apologetic jaws tried to answer and he said no one here makes dawah or praise to Mary.
Speaker BWe are Christians, not pagan Roman Catholics.
Speaker BThank you apologetics drawers, because you kind of nailed it there.
Speaker BBecause that's, that's the thing.
Speaker BAnd his response was hell mother of God.
Speaker BWell, you know, and that was his response to apologetics Mother of God in the first century was not a reference to Mary.
Speaker BIt was a reference to Jesus.
Speaker BAnd so if you want to refer to Mary mother of God, then you're condemning your own Quran which denies the deity of Jesus Christ, Mother of God.
Speaker BIs not that there's anything special about Mary.
Speaker BIt was a term in the first century to refer to the fact that Mary gave birth to God.
Speaker BIt's a reference to Jesus.
Speaker BIt isn't an issue of Mary.
Speaker BOkay, so you show a lack of understanding of both Mary, an era of Christianity, early century of who Mary is and who God is.
Speaker BYou get that because your Quran.
Speaker BYeah, that's right.
Speaker BYour prophet Muhammad, who wrote the, who made up the Quran.
Speaker BIt wasn't Allah, didn't know Christianity.
Speaker BOkay.
Speaker BAll right, so two more comments that we have getting more maybe back on topic.
Speaker BBut Homo clay said what is the specific web and dilemma?
Speaker BI know it's something to do with chemo brain.
Speaker BNow I don't know what he's referring to, Pastor Seth, so can you help me here?
Speaker BI don't know what you know.
Speaker BI know the dilemma you've been bringing up has got to do with the, the nation of Israel.
Speaker BI don't know what he's talking with.
Speaker BChemo brain.
Speaker AYeah, I'm not Sure.
Speaker AWhat the chemo brain comment is, but it does seem that Webbing does have a dilemma, and that is, you know, he.
Speaker AHe's gone down this path, right?
Speaker AThis.
Speaker AThis Jewish hatred, this graper.
Speaker AThat, you know, this new Christian right path, and it's like he can't go back.
Speaker ASo I think his dilemma is what.
Speaker BYeah.
Speaker BFor folks that don't know the term griper is.
Speaker AYes.
Speaker BIt's a term that is.
Speaker BIs a.
Speaker BYou know, like, it's a follower of Nick Fuentes is.
Speaker BIs how the term is used.
Speaker BSo it's.
Speaker BIt's.
Speaker BI don't know how that came about, but it's a term of his followers, you know, kind of like, you know, Matt Slick.
Speaker BYou know, he jokes that his.
Speaker BHis followers are car mites because the ministry is carm.
Speaker BAnd.
Speaker BAnd, you know, he's.
Speaker BHe likes to have fun.
Speaker BSo Carmite Termite sounds similar, you know, but, you know, it's like when you're a follower of something, and so that's what the grifters, they're.
Speaker BSorry, the.
Speaker BThe grifters are totally different.
Speaker BI think that's Candace Owens, but that's what.
Speaker BWhat it is.
Speaker BSo.
Speaker BI'm sorry, continue.
Speaker AYeah.
Speaker AYep.
Speaker AYeah, that's great.
Speaker AYeah.
Speaker ASo.
Speaker ASo the.
Speaker AThe dilemma that Webbing has faced is, you know, like, if he had a much smaller crowd and he was actually doing what was right, he would have.
Speaker AHe would have credibility.
Speaker AInstead, he has gone down this really strange, dark path that has drawn this large audience after him, and so he's chosen the large.
Speaker ALarge audience over credibility, you know, with a.
Speaker AWith a much smaller audience.
Speaker AYou know, of course, we do know that some.
Speaker ASome faithful men have large audiences.
Speaker ARight.
Speaker ABut.
Speaker BBut.
Speaker ABut back when.
Speaker ABack when Webbing was doing good things, you know, his audience, he.
Speaker AHe had a sizable audience.
Speaker AIt just.
Speaker AIt just did not explode the way it has.
Speaker ARight.
Speaker ASo.
Speaker ASo I.
Speaker AIt's like he's.
Speaker AHe's gotten on this path where it's like, oh, I got to keep going, you know, and it's.
Speaker AAnd you wish he would repent and say, no, I. I need to turn from this.
Speaker AThese wicked ways.
Speaker ABut, you know, if he's.
Speaker BIf he.
Speaker AIf he is a wolf, though, he will not turn.
Speaker AHe'll.
Speaker AHe'll continue to go down this path.
Speaker BYeah.
Speaker BYou know, so one other comment that I had here.
Speaker BWell, this is more just someone having fun at my expense.
Speaker BSo.
Speaker BAnd I'm not afraid of that.
Speaker BSo if I was worried about a platform, I would.
Speaker BBut Apologetic trust says Andrew is spitting his dreidel on his desk.
Speaker BNo.
Speaker BNo, I'm not.
Speaker BOkay.
Speaker BSo Humble Clay asks to folks, are you familiar with David Wood?
Speaker BAnd I want to put this up because if we've been talking a bit about Islam with the guy in chat, David Wood has a ministry that's really dedicated to dealing with the issue of Islam and really tackles them head on.
Speaker BDavid is someone I know personally.
Speaker BDavid and I have spoken at Jeff's conference.
Speaker BJeff, who was on here earlier, Pastor Jeff in, In the.
Speaker BEarly.
Speaker BIn his.
Speaker BNot his first con.
Speaker BWell, actually, no.
Speaker BIt was his first conference, the South Jersey Apologetics Conference.
Speaker BIt was David Wood and myself Friday night.
Speaker BAnd then the next year was David Wood, myself and Matt Slick.
Speaker BAnd so we have, we have spoken at that conference together, gotten to know him.
Speaker BHe's got a very interesting testimony, but he is really taking the Muslims head on.
Speaker BAnd they absolutely have hate him because he uses their, their own text against them and they really don't have an answer for the things that their own texts say.
Speaker BWhen he just looks at it and says, okay, let's.
Speaker BLet's deal with what it's.
Speaker BWhat actually happened according to your text.
Speaker BAnd he just gives it to them and they don't have an answer.
Speaker BSo Humble Clay is saying.
Speaker BHe's in all caps.
Speaker BHe says, no, reread.
Speaker BAnd then he said my chemo brain.
Speaker BSo, okay, so I guess he was just asking what the.
Speaker BThe dilemma was or the issue was with Joel Webbin.
Speaker BHe's.
Speaker BHe.
Speaker BHe Helmet Clay says it's a Chemical Romance.
Speaker BNot.
Speaker BThey're having lots of discussion in the chat.
Speaker BBut so just looking at the time we have left, is there anything else that you would have to.
Speaker BYou want to encourage folks or want to let folks know?
Speaker BI mean, we've talked a lot about this, both politically and religiously, this Jewish hatred that you see because you're following Web and I, I'm not, but I have seen.
Speaker BI, I mean, I think I've said this on past episodes, you know, after October 7th, when Israel was attacked.
Speaker AI.
Speaker BI mean, I have a love for the nation of Israel because of my background.
Speaker BI don't deny that.
Speaker BBut the, the thing is, is that I think, I think I have seen a lot of hatred towards the nation of Israel and Jewish people ever since October 7th.
Speaker BI didn't, I expect it from the left because they're, they're, they're woke ideology.
Speaker BI expect them to be pro Palestinian because the Palestinians are, are oppressed and the, the.
Speaker BIsrael's the oppressor.
Speaker BAnd that's the whole thing with Woke.
Speaker BNonsense.
Speaker BI did not expect it to see it from Christians and I saw a lot of that.
Speaker BAnd it is to me very discouraging because, I mean, I had, I had one person online that told me that Israel is not a state today.
Speaker BAnd I'm like, what do you call the land that's there between Jordan and the river?
Speaker BLike, what's that called?
Speaker BIt's just mind boggling to me that people, and I said this last episode that I think some people got, are so out of balance with their covenant theology that they see Israel as being replaced by the church or that the church is Israel, that they don't see that there can be a nation of Israel today.
Speaker BWell, I got news for you.
Speaker BThere is a nation called Israel today.
Speaker BI know, shocker.
Speaker BGo look on your map.
Speaker BIt's there.
Speaker BEven Google has it.
Speaker BYou know, I mean, it's just, it's crazy.
Speaker BBut I, I've not understood the Jewish hatred within Christians.
Speaker BAnd Seth, I know you have studied this.
Speaker BYou, you, you know, you feel strongly about it.
Speaker BAnd I may have been more out of balanced if I wrote the chapter in the book on this subject.
Speaker BSo maybe it's good you wrote it.
Speaker AYeah, well, yeah, it's interesting.
Speaker AYou know, I, I grew up in a home that loved Israel and, and, and always saw a future for Israel.
Speaker AAnd I, and my, my parent, my parents believe that.
Speaker AAnd I, you know, and I, as, I, as I've grown up in a, you know, became a pastor, I, I, I'm convinced of it not because of my family history, but because I see it in scripture.
Speaker ARight.
Speaker AAnd that's, that's where my conviction comes from, why I'm so passionate about it.
Speaker AYou know, and I, and I am a gentile.
Speaker AI mean, I, I'm 50% Swedish and I got a big mix of European in me.
Speaker AAnd yeah, so I, I don't have, I think I'm like 0.5% Jewish or something like that.
Speaker BBut if you go, if you go to the, the Mormons, humans to get tested, I'm amazed that even people in China have a little bit of Jewish because they have to, because they got to be One of the 12 tribes, you know, So I always find it funny that if you, if you do a DNA test with the Mormons and you do a DNA test with anyone else, if you, the Mormons will always have me a little bit Jewish because you got to be, I mean, you can't be at the Aaronic priesthood otherwise, according to.
Speaker AYeah.
Speaker AOh, that's funny.
Speaker AYeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker ASo, yeah, So I, I guess, you know, I, I'm passionate about it now.
Speaker AI, I, I do want to put a plug in for the May conference because someone different is going to be talking about this than me, and that is Russell Fuller.
Speaker ASo, so Russell Fuller, you know, he was really, well, he was really well known during the social justice controversy and he was really a whistleblower at Southern Baptist Theological Seminary and lost his job because of it.
Speaker AAnd Russell Fuller is just a wonderful man and courageous man.
Speaker AAnd, and just, just as he was strong against the social justice movement, he's very strong against this Jewish hatred and, and he learned under a lot of Jewish people when he was, when he was getting his PhD.
Speaker ASo, so he, he has a great love for the Jewish people and for the nation state of Israel.
Speaker AAnd he's an amillennialist too, by the way, which is very interesting.
Speaker AHe's not a dispensationalist, he's an amillennialist.
Speaker AAnd yet he loves, you know, he, he believes in the future for Israel, you know, at some level and you know, that we need to bless, bless them and be blessed.
Speaker AAnd yeah, so, so yeah, he, he's going to speak on this at the conference, which is the first weekend of May, as Jeff said earlier in Tampa, Florida.
Speaker ASo, yeah, you can find out about the conference @the truth fellowship.org it's going to be a great conference.
Speaker AI tell you what, there's not a lot of conferences I would go to at this day and age here in 2026, you know, and I'll be, I might get in trouble for saying this.
Speaker AI think we're saying that a lot here today.
Speaker AAre we?
Speaker ABut I, the Shepherds Conference, I'm very disappointed in that.
Speaker ATheir lineup, when you look at, you know, they have Al Mueller coming there, they have Lincoln Duncan going there, they have Mark Dever going there.
Speaker AThese are people who at some level pushed the WOKE movement forward, you know, only a handful of years ago and never repented of it.
Speaker AAnd now they're invited back to the Shepherd's Conference.
Speaker BI have no intention of going back.
Speaker BI, I'll say this.
Speaker BYou know, you look at that and they say, oh, they're here because John MacArthur was wanted them so in after his death, we're going to do that.
Speaker BIf he wanted them, why weren't they there when he was alive?
Speaker BI am just asking a logical question.
Speaker BAnd I know that, you know, if you, if you poke that idol, because that's what it is for some, they get all upset.
Speaker BI mean, look, we've we have lost viewers, listeners.
Speaker BBecause I'm not, I'm going to be honest with things.
Speaker BAnd like you look at, like you just said, if they're there because John wanted them there, why didn't he want them there when he was alive?
Speaker BTo me, it looks like they want him there.
Speaker BThey want these people there because John's not there and they want, they want people to attend.
Speaker AYeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker AThey're big names still.
Speaker AAnd.
Speaker BYep.
Speaker AYeah.
Speaker AAnd I, Yeah, that one really gets me upset because I.
Speaker AOkay, let's, let's say Even if John MacArthur on his deathbed says, oh, yeah, you could have him speak, he, he's on his deathbed, you don't, you, you, you know, I mean, he, people tend to, you know, weaken right before they die.
Speaker ASo, I mean, you have to look at the fact that this is, this is Christianity 101 here.
Speaker AThey never repented, therefore we can't trust them.
Speaker BAnd, and the big deal they were making is, oh, look, it's going to be.
Speaker BYou're going to have Phil Johnson doing the Q and A.
Speaker BOkay.
Speaker BWill Phil Johnson ask the hard questions that he asked before?
Speaker BI am.
Speaker BI, I will be anxious to see that aspect.
Speaker BBut, you know, and, and if folks don't know, I mean, 20 was it.
Speaker B20, 19 was last time these guys were there.
Speaker BAnd if you watch the Q A of that Shepherd's Conference, I was there.
Speaker BI also know the background.
Speaker BYou know, Phil told me personally that he had told these guys he was going to ask these questions on social justice.
Speaker BOkay.
Speaker BAl Mohler was not there.
Speaker BAnd if you look at, if you watch that, you'll see the red.
Speaker BThe guys who knew what the questions were going to be, they didn't speak up.
Speaker BThey just sat back like, I'm not gonna.
Speaker BHey, Al wants to deal with it.
Speaker BLet Al take it.
Speaker BAnd if you go on my rap report, go, go look for.
Speaker BJust search RappReport.org Do a search on Al Mueller.
Speaker BWe did two episodes on that.
Speaker BAl Mohler said, you can't have your cake and eat it, too.
Speaker BNow, that was an episode Al Mueller did about.
Speaker BHe was arguing that a Canadian Catholic politician who wouldn't stand up on homosexuality.
Speaker BAnd his argument was, you can't have your cake and eat it, too.
Speaker BAs a professing Catholic politician who's in Canada, he said, you cannot avoid the topic of homosexuality.
Speaker BAnd Al Mueller was challenged with the issue of wokeness.
Speaker BAnd he was challenged also, you know, in the issue of homosexuality when it came to Beth Moore, at the time a Southern Baptist.
Speaker BAnd what you had was Al Mueller not wanting to take a stance.
Speaker BAnd I said, look, if you say that a Catholic, not Christian, Canadian, not American politician, not a Christian, didn't need to take a stand or needed to take a stand, but a professing Christian, Southern Baptist, American preacher, Beth Moore didn't need to take a stand on homosexuality because she's Southern Baptist.
Speaker BSorry.
Speaker BAl Muller is a hypocrite.
Speaker BLike, if you're going to say that this guy who's a Roman Catholic, he's not even saved.
Speaker BHe's a politician.
Speaker BSo he's not in Christian arguing for Christianity, and he must take a stand.
Speaker BAnd Al Mohler said, you can't have your cake and eat it, too.
Speaker BBut Beth Moore can, Can.
Speaker BCan avoid having to address the homosexuality issue.
Speaker BWhen she was Southern Baptist, she was preaching on stages for Christianity, and she gets a pass.
Speaker BI'm sorry, Al Mueller, hypocrite.
Speaker CYeah.
Speaker BAnd that's actually what got me to.
Speaker BTo know more about John Harris.
Speaker BSo I did.
Speaker BSo I don't know if you know, Seth, about the background, so I had.
Speaker BI. I did an outreach in.
Speaker BIn New York with a group called Change your campus College Campus ministry.
Speaker BAnd we used to do an outreach in New York City.
Speaker BAnd John Harris actually attended that when I was teaching.
Speaker BAnd I. I feel bad, but I don't remember.
Speaker BAnd he told me that we had a conversation back then, and I. I didn't remember it.
Speaker BI feel so bad.
Speaker BAnd.
Speaker BBut the.
Speaker BWhen I did those two episodes on Al Mohler, people kept asking me if I had seen John Harris's conversations that matter.
Speaker BAnd so I went and listened to his episodes he did on Al Mohler.
Speaker BAnd I was like, I didn't know.
Speaker BI hadn't followed him.
Speaker BKnew nothing really about that.
Speaker BAnd I went, man, if you listen to the episodes I did and the episodes he did, you would definitely think that he and I were talking together and there was.
Speaker BThere, like, there was nothing at that point.
Speaker BAnd so I reached out to him, and that's actually, we.
Speaker BWe met at Shepherd's Conference.
Speaker BConference.
Speaker BAnd that's how we had built a friendship, you know, because we started.
Speaker BWe started from that.
Speaker BBut.
Speaker BYeah.
Speaker AYeah.
Speaker ASo, you know, I, you know, if you're gonna go to a conference, I think.
Speaker AI think the Truth Fellowship conference, the first weekend in May, would be well worth your time to go there.
Speaker AAnd it'll be.
Speaker AIt'll be.
Speaker AIt'll be much smaller than, you know, then the Shepherd's Conference.
Speaker AOf course, Shepherd's Conference will have a lot of good stuff.
Speaker AToo.
Speaker AWe understand that.
Speaker AWe want to be fair, you know.
Speaker BBut I'll tell you something.
Speaker BBut I'll tell you something, Seth.
Speaker BThe advantage of a smaller conference, especially if you go year after year, is you get to know the same people where when you go to the bigger conferences, it's like, hey, Seth, how you doing?
Speaker BAnd then I don't see you for the rest of the conference.
Speaker BYou know, you don't get to build the good bonding relationships at the big conferences, but you do at the smaller ones.
Speaker AYep, that's right.
Speaker AThat's right.
Speaker AYeah.
Speaker ASo, so yeah, it's this.
Speaker AWe're addressing the big issues of the day.
Speaker AAnd you know, like I said, you can look at our 13 statements on the truth fellowship.org and where we, you know, we speak out against social justice and we speak out against this Jewish hatred ideology that's out there.
Speaker ASo we, you know, it's always a fight over the authority of scripture.
Speaker AAnd so that's what we're doing.
Speaker AThat's what we're about.
Speaker AAnd we just, we just want biblical shepherds to, to be put forth and we want people to understand what a biblical shepherd is.
Speaker ARight.
Speaker ASo, so, but anyway, thank you, Andrew, for having me.
Speaker AYeah, it was good to be with you again.
Speaker ATwo weeks.
Speaker AYeah.
Speaker BI love being with you.
Speaker BLet's.
Speaker BLet me just deal with a couple of quick comments that we have here about apologetic Jaws says Dr. Jeanson at Answers and Genesis has done amazing research on genetic tracing every people group on earth back to Noah's daughters daughter in laws.
Speaker BDr. Jeanson was actually here on Apologetics Live.
Speaker BAnd like I say, you can, you can.
Speaker BYou know, we're here.
Speaker BAnyone can debate us.
Speaker BWhen Dr. Jensen came in, we had Dan, who is a professor at Rutgers University who had been following Dr. Jeanson and came in for a debate.
Speaker BAnd Dr. Jeanson wasn't ready for it.
Speaker BHe handled it marvelously.
Speaker BAnd Dr. Dan has, well, he's avoided some topics here.
Speaker BWe've challenged him to come back on.
Speaker BI know, you know, he, he has the, the, the he.
Speaker BI Forget what his YouTube channel is.
Speaker BSomething.
Speaker BCreation myths, I think it is.
Speaker BAnd he says creation is not a really big deal to him.
Speaker BReally?
Speaker BThen why is your YouTube channel named after creation?
Speaker BJust saying.
Speaker BBut he hasn't come back.
Speaker BI, I wanted to debate him on some, you know, more political things because it'd be fun.
Speaker BAndrew from Down Under, I, I, brother, I love you.
Speaker BI'm glad that you came back.
Speaker BI haven't seen you for a while.
Speaker BCommenting.
Speaker BHe is from down Under.
Speaker BHe says where's the hatred for Hamas?
Speaker BThey seem to get a pass on the issue.
Speaker BSeth, have you noticed that as well as I, that they, they really don't seem to.
Speaker BThere, there doesn't seem to be there.
Speaker BHamas is recognized as a terrorist organization, but everyone seems to give them a pass on these issues.
Speaker BYou notice that too?
Speaker AYeah, yeah.
Speaker AEverything's backwards.
Speaker AI mean, you see that, you know Isaiah 5:20, right?
Speaker ALight is darkness, darkness is light.
Speaker ASweet is bitter, bitter is sweet.
Speaker AYou know, so October 7th happens.
Speaker AYou would expect in a, in a world that makes sense, that the whole world would, would show compassion to the people of Israel and say, man, what happened to you is so horrible.
Speaker AInstead, it was rioting on campuses protesting against Israel and free Palestine.
Speaker AAnd none of it makes any sense whatsoever, you know, but, but that's the world we live in.
Speaker ASo.
Speaker BYeah, yeah, I, I saw the, I think I told you and Pastor Jeff about this, but the woman who the, she was a queer for Palestine, part of the Queers for Palestine movement, and she went over to Palestine to support them and they beat her to a pulp because she wasn't wearing a burqa.
Speaker BThey tore up her sign and just, you see, there's a video of her being dragged through the street and she's like, but I support you.
Speaker BAnd they're like beating her and she's a New Yorker.
Speaker BLike, hello, I could have told you that was going to happen.
Speaker BYou know, so, yeah.
Speaker BSo mentioning conferences.
Speaker BLet me give you guys, as I know we're a bit long.
Speaker BMarch 12th and to the 15th is the Built to Conquer conference.
Speaker BGo to Caleb Gordon.org to get the details.
Speaker BThis conference, absolutely.
Speaker BIt's in Bartlett, Oklahoma.
Speaker BIf you do not buy tickets, this conference may not happen.
Speaker BWe talked about smaller conferences.
Speaker BThey are far better than the big conferences.
Speaker BAnd so this is one that the topic is going to be about basically how do we make a difference in this culture that we're in?
Speaker BAnd so we have to build something to conquer in this culture.
Speaker BAnd so this, this is a conference that I am, I, I've been told that one way or another, if the conference doesn't happen, I'm still going to be speaking in Bartlett, but we'd rather have these other guys come down and be preaching as well.
Speaker BSo go to caleb gordon.org get your tickets for the Build to Conquer conference in Bartlett, Oklahoma.
Speaker BIf you're in Philadelphia area.
Speaker BWe are planning to do at my home church, Oxford Valley Chapel.
Speaker BAnd if you want to come there, we're going to be doing an evangelism training with hearts for the lost.
Speaker BThat's going to be April 17th and 18th.
Speaker BSo that will be an evangelism training that will be open to all people free of charge.
Speaker BNext.
Speaker BWe talked about this already, but the Truth Conference, that will be May 1st to the 1st or 3rd.
Speaker BThird will be the Sunday.
Speaker BThat'll be in Tampa, Florida.

Speaker BGet me out of this snow.
Speaker BWell, Mayo, be great.
Speaker BTime to be in Tampa, Florida.
Speaker BYou'll get your shorts out.
Speaker BYou can go into the pool and enjoy that.
Speaker BSo that will be something I strongly want to encourage you.
Speaker BGo to the Truth Conference.
Speaker BDon't go to Truth.
Speaker BSorry, the truth fellowship.org There is a website.
Speaker BTruth Fellowship.
Speaker BIt's not that one.
Speaker BThe Truth Fellowship.org to join the conference.
Speaker BLastly, I'm just going to let you guys know a friend of mine, Phil Sessa of Street Fishers Ministry, he's.
Speaker BHe has.
Speaker BOh, I'm trying to remember the, the podcast.
Speaker BI'm going to be beaten up over this.
Speaker BI gotta go look.
Speaker BHe's one of the, the podcasts.
Speaker BI feel so bad, Seth.
Speaker BHe's one of the podcasts on Christian Podcast community.
Speaker BAnd, and so I'm like rushing out to, to the Christian podcast community.org to look up.
Speaker BThat's really bad, isn't it?
Speaker BThat I, I can't remember a name of.
Speaker BAnd he's, he's a good friend of mine.
Speaker BHe's going to beat me up.
Speaker BBut anyway, he is one.
Speaker BThat is what we're looking to do is we're looking to do an outreach in New York.
Speaker BNow he and I have, have we met in Union Square in New York doing evangelism there, doing street evangelism, open air evangelism.
Speaker BAnd so we met there and he is, we're going to be going and he's trying to get a whole bunch of people together, churches and people who want to do evangelism in Union Square, New York.
Speaker BUnion Square is an awesome place to evangelize.
Speaker BI'm just saying, because you get everything there.
Speaker BI mean there, there's, you're gonna get a, a little taste of everything.
Speaker BThere's so many people that are out there that you're gonna get the people who are the, we've.
Speaker BThe Mormons, the Jehovah Witnesses, the people that are making up their own religion.
Speaker BI mean everything is out there.
Speaker BIt's, it really is a fun place.
Speaker BYou, you don't have to do Very much to get into a conversation in Union Square, because everybody is looking to.
Speaker BTo, you know, there's a lot of people that are looking to get into those discussions there.
Speaker BAnd so it is something that you can really thoroughly enjoy a conversation.
Speaker BAnd so we're going to be doing that on.
Speaker BOn Saturday, June 27th.
Speaker BAnd if you want to get more information, if you want to find out about that, you know, just reach out to us.

Speaker BIt is something that if you want to do evangelism, if you want to do some outreach and you're nervous about it, it's a good place to go because that's going to be a place where there's a lot of us out there and we'll be able to come alongside you.
Speaker BHis podcast is Stop and Think about it with Phil Sessa.
Speaker BSo had to go look it up, I admit it.
Speaker BSo check those different events out.
Speaker BAnd so Pastor Seth, let folks know if they're in your area, what church should they go come and visit you.
Speaker BAnything else that you want to.
Speaker BThat you want to promote?
Speaker AYeah, so, yeah, my church is Eureka Baptist.
Speaker AAnd, you know, we're.
Speaker AWe're an hour northeast of the Twin Cities, you know, Minneapolis St. Paul, and we're right across the.
Speaker AThe river, the border here in Wisconsin.
Speaker AAnd.
Speaker AAnd yeah, no, we have a wonderful church here.
Speaker AWe'd love to, you know, if you live somewhere in this area and you're looking for a church, we'd love to have you and come for a visit and, and you can.
Speaker AYou can always call us if you have any questions too.
Speaker ABut yeah, we have a website, eurekabaptchurch.com eurekabapchurch.com that's our website.
Speaker AWe also have, you know, my sermons go on.
Speaker AAre you.
Speaker AWe have a YouTube channel.
Speaker AEureka Baptist YouTube channel.
Speaker AAnd also rumble around there as well if you want to listen to sermons or.
Speaker AYeah.
Speaker ASo otherwise, you know, you can find, you know, I do the tearing on the High Places podcast with Jeff and, And, uh, a couple other guys from.
Speaker AFrom his church.
Speaker AAnd.
Speaker AAnd then I, I have a. I have a lot of articles that I've written on truscript.
Speaker AI know that, Andrew, you've written on truscript now, but I have a lot of articles that I've written on there if you want to check that out too.
Speaker ASo.
Speaker AYeah.
Speaker ABut anyway, yeah, there's.
Speaker AThe whole point of all these resources is I just, I I want to help people understand scripture better.
Speaker AI want people to understand how to apply the Bible to the times in which we live.
Speaker AAnd if I, if they could be of any help to you, I'd.
Speaker AThat'd be amazing.
Speaker ASo.
Speaker AYeah.
Speaker BWell, Pastor Seth, I am thankful you came in.
Speaker BI thankful that you have a heart full of Israel and a heart more so for biblical truth.
Speaker BAnd so I, I'm, I'm honored to be able to join you with the Truth Fellowship.
Speaker BI hope that's something that more people will go to the Truth Fellowship.com org to check out what we're doing there.
Speaker BWe're trying to create a fellowship of like minded people that are willing to stand up for truth even when it's not popular.
Speaker BAnd one of the issues that we said, hey, we're going to address is the issue of Israel.
Speaker BYou know, you got to stand on what the Bible says on biblical principles.
Speaker BAnd it's one of the things that some of the guys said.
Speaker BNo, we, we want in.
Speaker BIn light of our culture, we're going to stand on this issue.
Speaker BThat's what the Truth Fellowship is about.
Speaker BIt is about getting folks together to be able to fellowship together.
Speaker BWe're looking to also do ordinations together as as many of the guys have been forced out of denominations because of the fact that, that they stood on truth over popularity, truth over culture, truth over platform.
Speaker BAnd therefore we, they lost their ability to do ordinations.
Speaker BThings like that do have resources.
Speaker BThere's a lot we plan to do with the Truth Fellowship.
Speaker BSo please go to the Truth Fellowship.org and check out what we're looking to do there.
Speaker BYes, we're getting started.
Speaker BWe've seen a lot of organizations that touted that they wanted to do many things to come alongside the church.
Speaker BOkay, I'm Gonna Name names.
Speaker BG3.
Speaker AYeah.
Speaker BWhat'd they do?
Speaker BThey said they wanted to come alongside the church, but what do we see?
Speaker BTheir founder was a platform builder.
Speaker BAll he wanted to do was make a name for himself.
Speaker BThe Truth Fellowship is not that way.
Speaker BWe actually want to come alongside the churches and serve churches.
Speaker BSo we want to do the actual thing that G3 said they want to do but they didn't do.
Speaker BWe're actually going to do.
Speaker BSo if, if you were disheartened over The Fall of G3 and, and Josh Bice, come to the Druthfellowship.org and see what we're looking to do.
Speaker BCome to the conferences we're doing.
Speaker BYes, we're just getting started, but we won't be big because we care more about truth than platform.
Speaker BWould that be fair to say, Pastor Seth?
Speaker AYeah, that's right.
Speaker AYeah.
Speaker AWe'll be, we'll be as big as the Lord wants us to be.
Speaker AYou know, we want to bless as many people as we, as we can, but it's, it's up to Him.
Speaker AAnd if we can, if we can influence dozens of men to, to be strong biblical pastors, I mean, it'll, it'll have been worth it for sure.
Speaker ASo.
Speaker ABut yeah, it's up to the Lord what he wants to do.
Speaker ABut we do, we do sense that he's called us together.
Speaker AWe do sense that he's going to do something wonderful.
Speaker AI think he already has.
Speaker AI think he's going to continue to do it.
Speaker ASo we look forward to that.
Speaker BYeah, I mean, look, I, I've worked with Josh Bice, I've worked with Patrick, Pastor Seth and Pastor Jeff.
Speaker BThere's a difference.
Speaker BWhen I worked with Josh, it was about the platform.
Speaker BThese guys that I'm working with, with the Truth Fellowship, it's about the truth, and it is refreshing.
Speaker BAnd so I strongly encourage you guys to go to the Truth Fellowship.org check out the conference we're doing down there first week of May.
Speaker BGreat time to be in Tampa, Florida.
Speaker BAnd so I will be there.
Speaker BPastor Seth will be there, Pastor Jeff will be there.
Speaker BI want to strongly encourage you guys to come check it out, get to meet us, get to talk to us.
Speaker BIt'll be a small enough gathering where we can fellowship together, go grab a meal together and, and just enjoy some time together.
Speaker BI don't know if I'll be invited to the, you know, to the Airbnb that Seth's, that Jeff has with his church.
Speaker BBut, yeah, my, my bride and I will be there.
Speaker BNow, Pastor Seth, you don't get the, the, the special nature of that, but when I, when I went to G3 and I, I announced that my bride would be there, there were people like, really?
Speaker BOh, my, my bride was amazed that people came up, they wanted to get a photo with her, and she's like, like, why?
Speaker BThey're like, we didn't know you really exist.
Speaker BI mean, the way Andrew speaks about you, you couldn't really exist.
Speaker BWell, if you want to get to meet my bride, thetruthfellowship.org go check it out.
Speaker BCome to Tampa, Florida, early May, and you'll get to meet her.
Speaker BI'm just saying she will be there with me, you know, probably at the table.
Speaker BIf we have a table set up, she'll be there.
Speaker BBut I, I was going to say, and I meant to say this early on, but I will say this speaking of my bride.
Speaker BSo we have reached the top, in the top 100 of all religious podcasts in Hong Kong.
Speaker BIt must be all my wife's family.
Speaker BThat's all I could say.
Speaker BI mean, I told my wife earlier, it's as you.
Speaker BThank you for telling all your family to check out Apologetics Live because they're all listening.
Speaker BFor those who don't know, my bride is from Hong Kong.
Speaker BAnd so, which I always joke, she's British, not Chinese.
Speaker BOkay.
Speaker BShe's not part of the Communist Party, so they went communist after she left.
Speaker BBut, but yeah, truth.
Speaker BThe truth.
Speaker BFellowship.org Please check it out.
Speaker BPastor Seth, I, I thank you for coming on.
Speaker BI thank you for your heart for Israel.
Speaker BI thank you more so for your heart, for the truth.
Speaker AYeah, well, thank you.
Speaker AThank you and no, thank you for the same things and so grateful for the bond we have in Christ and, and looking forward to the days ahead.
Speaker BSo next week, I do not have anyone.
Speaker BI don't have a title or topic or yet, but we will.
Speaker BUnless, of course, the Muslims who are in the chat want to come in.
Speaker BWe'd be happy to talk with you.
Speaker BYou want to tell us how wrong we are about the Bible and how it's been corrupted?
Speaker BI'd be happy to talk textual criticism with you.
Speaker BWe'll see how much you understand textual criticism.
Speaker BWe'll see how much you understand the textual criticism of the Quran in.
Speaker BThe Quran in Arabic.
Speaker BIs there only one version?
Speaker BMaybe that'd be a fun topic to do.
Speaker BSo until next week, remember to strive to make today an eternal day for the glory of God.
Speaker BAnd we will see you next week.
