Plagiarism is such a difficult subject to navigate. Like both Keats and I can have similar themes about the Fall, but we didn't plagiarize each other. It's just the way Fall is, only a few things can be said about it. Which gets into Biblical Exegesis, there shouldn't be too many variations on the subject, because the Bible has one meaning. So, Matthew Henry, Jay Vernon McGee and myself will have a very similar thought process about what the Bible means, because that's just how meaning is.

Not saying these people [who read verbatim premade sermons] aren't plagiarists, but you have to be careful with defining it, because you can essentially outlaw all speech. Like the book Atticus copyrighted some pretty simple platitudes that happen a lot in text conversations, and surely nobody's plagiarizing Atticus when they find those phrases.

It's not all cut in dry. Simply, human thought is limited, so people will eventually come to similar ideas, even removed from each other by millennia or leagues.

And then you add to that, we comprise billions of bits of information we've found all our lives, to make us find what and how we came to all those ideas, you'd essentially outlaw free speech by proxy of making it all subject to someone's copyright. 

What gets copyrighted are specific word patterns and ideas unique to you. Which the point of copyright and trademark is to help people make a living off their own inventions, not to essentially steal it from everyone else. As, the internal combustion engine had hundreds of variations, and what was copyrighted was each unique variation, not the process of internal combustion, which cannot be copyrighted.

Jesus is not symbolic. He literally died, raised from the dead, and ascended into heaven, where He's seated at the right hand of the Father, in a resurrected body of the New Man.

It seems like [I'm] saying the Bible is symbolic. In a sense, [one] can believe that about the Old Testament, but a matured faith should lead you to the conclusion that it's not just symbolic, but actually physically happened too.

Augustine believed the Old Testament is symbolic. You are saved by Jesus, not by your belief in the Bible's inerrancy, although it helps to believe the Bible's true. But, the more important aspects of the faith, is belief in the Moral Law passed down to us, as that creates the conditions for peace and liberty and joy.

And also, you must testify that Jesus Christ is Come in the Flesh. Not merely a symbol or emblem, but was God's Son manifested in the Flesh, the Divine Word of the Holy Trinity.

Yes, The Dragon looks like an alien, and is on a Hindu Temple. Aliens are indeed demons. And they are submitted under the authority of Christ. Reality is so much different than what we're told. If I told you the truth, you couldn't believe it, which is why we need to stop preaching Young Earth Creationism. Because the truth is so much different than anything we could imagine.

[W]e know exactly who wrote [the Bible], when and how. We even have provenance that the Sumerians plagiarized us. Did you ever read Gilgamesh? Seems an awful lot like the writer met Noah. Also fits the timeframe, as the epic would have been written around 2200BC and the documentation of the flood shows in the record that it happened in 2450BC. In Chinese records and the missing 2nd Dynasty of Ur, and a similar gap happens in all world civilizations around that time.

The Bible stories aren't made up. But a prudent man conceals knowledge. You can actually hurt someone's faith by telling them the Bible is literal. Plenty of sound teachers taught the stories were emblematic, as it's the Law of God which prevails and converts the heart.

The issue is we have to engage with a generation that cannot believe in anything beside evolution, unless thunderstruck by God with the truth. We have to increase the scope of God, and decrease the scope of the Bible. Because the Bible's moral law is true, and imperative for human flourishing and survival. And also it's imperative for salvation. We're not reaching people right now, and we must, or all is lost.

It’s hard to say [if it's real]. On one hand, Satan will have control over the whole world for one hour. And ten kings will reign with him. But on the other, I don’t think it’s something we as Christians should be worried about too much.

The issue is what is the New World Order? And that’s an order of Global Elites trying to usher in a paradise for the rich. Okay? They think people are dumb, and need to be wiped out… or so the mythology goes.

The truth is a little more complex than that. I personally think the “New World Order” is just the collective will and milieu moving in a bad direction. Like, there’s definitely an observable evil in the world, moving it toward dictatorship, and trying to destroy Israel and Christianity. Is it, per say, a Cabal of evil world leaders? I mean… in the sense that their ill will brings on the effects. It’s not true that they have any power that God didn’t give them. And I personally think, whatever’s happening, would be fixed if people had moral certitude.

It’s not about a bunch of seedy geniuses calculating the world’s downfall, and the extinction of man. It’s the collective evil of a bunch of people, from top to bottom, catalyzing that extinction. We’re not really doing things the right way.

Some examples, are we believe there’s no objective ethics. Such a stupid concept that there aren’t objective ethics—of course there are. It’s not a matter of “Are there objective truths or a science to morality” because there is definitely that. It’s that the science is something different than we want it to be. And that’s leading to the problems we’re seeing

God’s law is inherent, it’s inerrant, it’s established in our hearts, and in our minds, and it’s the law that would establish a perfect peace. It’s also so strict, that it puts every human being under condemnation for death. So, that’s why Christ came, was to free us from the yoke of the law, and yoke ourselves to Him, and be free to have charity, kindness, and peace in our hearts, rather than conform to outward laws, that we’re obligated to follow; so the Gospel is that we’re to simply do good because we have peace, and that’s our natural state.

So… if you have God’s peace, no New World Order can touch you. The Bible says it will hail in one place, but the slaughter will come nowhere near the people who sigh for the iniquity of Israel. If you sigh for the sin of the world, and you don’t accept it—and you have to sigh, you have to preach boldly against sin—it won’t come near you. You’ll have the mark of the inkhorn on your head, and the slaughtering implement won’t come near you. The hailstones won’t wash you away. The New World Order—Satan’s authority—won’t even be seen by you, and if it is, you’ll be raptured out of the world in that instant.

So… to conclude… the New World Order, the Mark of the Beast, the Tribulation, is not something we should fear. Yes, Satan will establish a kingdom on the Earth for one hour. But, that’s all. And if you are righteous, and fully trusting on the LORD’s mercy, you will be spared from that temptation, and will never see it. The LORD will hide you under the pinions of His wings.

The LORD rebuke you Satan.

That's such a stupid argument. "It's right above the verse that has mixed fabric." Jesus says, "Whatsoever goes into the mouth, goes into the stomach and is destroyed." And "The Gospel is not clothes or food or drink or respect to Sabbath and Feast Day." But, the moral law still stands, and Homosexuality--unlike wearing mixed fabric--has a sentence attached to it which is death. Christ can still forgive you, but only if you choose Him. If you reject His statutes, and do not love them with your whole heart---Psalm 119---you cannot be saved. Remember Christ is the Eternal Sabbath, and we are drawn to Him by His grace. There is no other path to salvation. So if we reject His law, we can have no part of Him.
