Matthew 7 is used out of context so much.  Seriously, it drives me crazy sometimes.  Jesus is speaking to Jews under The Law, people who believed in works.  He's also speaking about false prophets and disciples.  In other words, He isn't speaking to Christians or about Christians.  Jesus would be a liar to tell a real Christan that 'He never knew them'.  Remember, a text without a context is just a con.

Alright, since we have to establish that we are to cast out the slave women and are not under The Law, that means the whole Law including The Ten Commandments!  Still, today, many suggest we should still have monuments of the big 10 on display.  Most are sincere and have good intention but the question is, "Does the world really going to get it anyway?".  Have we not been given the ministry of reconciliation to minister to those whom the Father has restored favor?  A little discussion of all these things are in this episode, along with what exactly does The Law of Christ/Love mean?  Are there still instructions, commands, and all that within the New Covenant for Christians today to follow?  If so, why do so many fail to see them and break them?

Marcuss starts off this episode talking about Andy Stanley and the controversy surrounding a couple of his recent statements.  To be fair Andy is right, although maybe he should have worded things a little differently.  Nevertheless, people would still have things to say.  Do we need the Old Testament?  Absolutely!  Without it, the New Testament would be even more complicated to understand.  To understand the New is to understand the Old with its types and shadows pointing to the promise of Jesus.  However, do we need to mix the two?  Rightly dividing Law and Gospel is essential, mixing the two is bondage, death, and exactly what the first-century Church was fighting.  Looking at Apostle Paul's statements in Galatians 4:21-31, Marcuss explains what exactly Paul is telling the church in Galatia, to cast out the slave woman because descendants of Abraham are of Faith, not by lineage!  Therefore, the Jews trying to bring the Gentiles into The Law are actually sons of Hagar and, like her son, slaves.

Consider this episode part 2 of "Heaven and Earth Have Passed Away" from way back at the beginning.  I thought we could dive a little bit more in exploring the phrase "heaven and earth" and see the different types in scripture.  There are more than just the actual physical literal heavens and earth in the bible.  The Temple and the nation of Israel were talked about in the same manner and Jesus said the law would remain until all was accomplished and heaven and earth passed away?  So which is it, are we still under law or did "heaven and earth" pass away?

There are a lot of ideas and different ways of thinking when it comes to fasting today.  Some believe it makes them more anointed or spiritually powerful.  Others give things up to give more time to God.  Are these even the biblical definition of fasting?  The Law only required it once a year and it was to have you remember your sins.  The Pharisees fasted twice a week to be righteous.  John's disciples ask Jesus why He and His disciples aren't fasting like the rest of them.  Let's examine what Jesus' answer means in context and in light of what we have been blessed with in the New Covenant.  In doing so we will be able to determine if the old can mix with the new and if fasting is compatible with the New Covenant believer.

Here we continue with our study through the book of Colossians.  Paul starts to shed a little more light in chapter 2 on the heresy that was taking place at Colossae which included philosophies, empty deciet, Gnosticism, and Jewish mysticism.  Paul assures the readers at Colossae they are filled with Christ and all things are in Him so he urges them to remember what they have been taught.

This is the third part in understanding Matthew 24 from a Preterist approach/understanding.  We have had the primer and looked at the Disciples questions, now we examine the Answer(s) Jesus gives.  To whom is He talking?  We need to remember the principal of audience relevance when interpreting the Bible and this will help us better understand what is taking place.  Of course, many see what Jesus is describing as "signs of the times", however, we must ask, did the Disciples and the rest of their contemporaries experience any of these things?  If so, what did that mean for them and what does it mean for us?

The Gospel or Good News of Jesus Christ is simplistic but also overly complicated to some.  To fully articulate it to someone we need answers to questions that will arise.  In order to understand why Jesus is the Good News, we need to understand why we need to be redeemed.  Often, people know they sin and sinning makes them a sinner but why?  What is it about the fall and humanity that created this issue in order for our creator God to reconcile us to Him through Christ? (stick around after the outro music for bonus conversation from the sermon)

We all know that Lucifer is the devil, right? Wrong.  But we know the devil was an angel, the most beautiful in fact in charge of worship, and led a rebellion that took one-third of other angels with him, right?  Wrong.  Those are all misinterpretations that come from myths.  In fact, the Bible actually tells us less about the devil than what we all think we know!
