because last week we talked about the blasphemy of of Yahweh and we talked about the how the world is twisting things and I played for you the trailer of the upcoming movie X-Men apocalypse and how the evil character that's coming claims to be raw Krishna Yahweh and that the X-Men mutant the half breeds which would be the Nephilim are the good guys the fight Yahweh when he comes back to judge Humanity and so I realized I didn't really plan it this way but just as I looked at this article and some other things I just felt like that we needed to address this again and we have new listeners all the time and it won't hurt for you guys to get this down in one more time um but this Christian rapper his name is uh uh what how do you put or something like that says he's no longer Christian uh this is right before Christmas he began a series of comments on Facebook and on Twitter he said a short while ago I turned away from 20 years as a professing Christian I had a good job with a church organization a house provided by the church A Large Social Circle of like-minded people the career in gospel music a worldwide fan base a respected reputation and Status within Christian and non-Christian circles um she went on to say he said he posted a follow-up to those who were questioning his decision and he said you can believe the Bible and it's God all you want but to me he just demands my fear because he cannot earn my respect he said I cannot possibly agree that he is love unless ignore all the men women and little children he had slaughtered throughout the entire Bible the post read but maybe he said some people's Christian lenses won't allow them to see that cool mine didn't either for uh either for a long time is that I have tasted and seen in my conclusion is that Christianity it's flawed book bloodthirsty God and mythical savior I have found unsatisfactory and Unworthy of my Allegiance or worship unless by threatening to kill me if I don't as Christianity does so basically in this falling away that's happening and among many people really even atheists let me read to you what the leading atheist Richard Dawkins has to say about Our God the god of the Bible this is what he says he says the god of the Old Testament is arguably the most unpleasant character in all things jealous and proud of it a petty unjust

unforgiving control freak a vindictive bloodthirsty ethnic cleanser a misogynist woman hater homophobic racist infanticidal genocidal um he just goes on Mega maniacal sadomasochist anyway he just calls him a bully now this is the atheist and this is primarily one of the biggest arguments you hear from atheist agnostic non-Christian um even when the subject of the violence within Islam comes up people always point to well why did God order the Israelites to wipe out certain groups of people back to his side the Amorite the parasite why did God do that and here's the deal with all of this I love how the world The Atheist the agnostics and even like this Christian rapper I love how they love to say take one part of the Bible as being literal like God slaughtering or having his people Slaughter these people groups but they do not happen to take into uh consideration the context if you're going to take one apart it's literal and true and real you have to take the other part as literal and true and real in the context I'm going to take the story you've got to take the whole story for instance let's say that you heard the story there was a story that that the true story was that some evil um murdering rapist psychopath came to Pastor Dean's house and broke in and was trying to hurt uh Nancy and faith and Pastor Dean feeling full of bullet holes okay now that's the whole story in the context I was justified in my actions right I was defending my wife and my child and from dangerous murderous people who were trying to bring us harm coming in my house but if you just said in the story if you just took the part out and said pastor Dean shot and killed three people you see what you just did you didn't put the story in its proper context so it makes me look like the bad guy this is what the world does this is what the agnostics the atheists the people who want to uh to be gnostics in the sense of believing that the god of the open is not the same God of the New Testament and they divide the two what they don't understand is the context of the story and most Christians and this is what's so sad most Christians do not even believe in the context

because when you start looking this up when you start looking up why did God wipe out these people groups and what is this thing about the giant what are these not fields nephilims what are they do we do we take the story that God wiped out the amalekite king OG of Bashan and his people but we don't put it in the context the king OGG was 15 feet tall that came out was not quite human once we put that into context we realized that God was dealing with something else other than human beings you say well that sounds far out that sounds out there no it doesn't tell me Christian that you believe in a supernatural God who is Almighty all-powerful able to create the heavens and the Earth and the sun and the moon and the stars and human beings and the trees and all the animals he's able to create he has this power to create everything but there couldn't be a real devil who actually also has Supernatural power and also had some evil supernatural beings do you know what I'm saying we can't pick and choose can I say this in the Christian realm in the church realm all deception enters in when we either choose to believe a lie or we choose not to believe what is in the Bible or the whole truth the moment you choose I believe this part of the Bible but I don't believe this you are open to deception you're open to anything the devil wants to throw at you and that's why you have to take this book as a whole or don't take it at all you have to take him in its context or you do not understand what was going on real simple I mean let me read what what uh well I could call Richard Dawkins website I was on I can't remember not his website but it was some atheist forum looking at this and he went down to say you know look at God wiping out the the people or the wiping out the Earth with the blood and I was like yeah and we know why now let me say as we get into this because we're gonna I'm gonna give you the scriptures and we're going to dig into this even further but Jesus made this statement this is Luke 24 25-27 so you turn this to life foreign
