1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,120
In the name of the glorious 
Trinity, Father and Son and Holy

2
00:00:03,120 --> 00:00:04,400
Spirit forever. 
Amen. 

3
00:00:05,360 --> 00:00:09,200
Glory be to the everlasting 
mercies which sent you to us, O 

4
00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:11,840
Christ, the Light of the world 
and the life of all. 

5
00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:15,960
Give us wisdom by your law and 
enlighten our impulses by your 

6
00:00:15,960 --> 00:00:18,960
knowledge. 
Sanctify our souls by your 

7
00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:22,800
truth, and grant that we may be 
obedient to your words and may 

8
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:24,760
fulfill your commandments at 
every hour. 

9
00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:29,040
O you who enlightens the 
rational with the knowledge of 

10
00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:33,880
your greatness, do enlight, O my
Lord, our thoughts that we may 

11
00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:37,240
meditate upon your holy and 
divine Scriptures at all times, 

12
00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:41,380
O Lord of all, Father and Son 
and Holy Spirit forever. 

13
00:00:42,180 --> 00:01:03,170
Amen. 
A topic that has been so on my 

14
00:01:03,170 --> 00:01:08,410
heart for so long to discuss and
and somewhat of a current 

15
00:01:08,410 --> 00:01:15,130
affairs is this issue or the 
topic of the L GB TQ. 

16
00:01:16,330 --> 00:01:19,130
Now I'm not going to be 
politically correct and I'm not 

17
00:01:19,130 --> 00:01:24,610
going to speak politics. 
But this episode, by the request

18
00:01:24,610 --> 00:01:29,670
of the many of our dear beloved 
sisters and brothers, we'll 

19
00:01:29,830 --> 00:01:36,350
cover the question, How does a 
faithful, obedient, Christ 

20
00:01:36,350 --> 00:01:42,350
loving, active Christian respond
to all Lgbtqs? 

21
00:01:44,910 --> 00:01:50,070
Let me share a an encounter I 
had with a mother who had issues

22
00:01:50,070 --> 00:01:53,070
with her son who had begun 
playing the slot machines or 

23
00:01:53,070 --> 00:01:58,300
poker machines. 
He was somehow okaying it and 

24
00:01:58,300 --> 00:02:04,060
justifying it by saying I only 
play 10 or $20 maximum $50 kept 

25
00:02:04,060 --> 00:02:06,780
increasing. 
Actually though, I'm replied 

26
00:02:06,780 --> 00:02:09,699
Robbie, I'm not concerned of the
10 or 20. 

27
00:02:09,699 --> 00:02:12,340
I'm more concerned about the 
thousands that he will end up 

28
00:02:12,700 --> 00:02:18,740
gambling in due time. 
Just the title L GB TQ is 

29
00:02:18,740 --> 00:02:21,380
concerning, but I'm more 
concerned about the plus. 

30
00:02:22,180 --> 00:02:25,750
Now please excuse my ignorance. 
It may mean something. 

31
00:02:25,750 --> 00:02:27,150
It obviously stands for 
something. 

32
00:02:27,150 --> 00:02:31,230
But what is this plus more to 
come in the future? 

33
00:02:33,150 --> 00:02:36,590
In any case, let's begin with an
encounter that Jesus had with 

34
00:02:37,950 --> 00:02:43,110
with a man named Zechayes in 
blue, chapter 19, verse nine. 

35
00:02:43,110 --> 00:02:47,790
And this will be our our model. 
This will be our platform on how

36
00:02:47,790 --> 00:02:54,000
we can respond to our brothers 
and sisters and friends from the

37
00:02:54,000 --> 00:03:00,520
LGBT group or movement. 
Now Zakeus, who was perceived, 

38
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:05,840
he was marked, he was labeled as
a dreadful, putrid, ever so 

39
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:10,160
despised Jew among the Jewish 
community, the Jews. 

40
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:15,200
And we read that it was the 
greatest attribute of Jesus 

41
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:22,100
Christ which moved Zakeus to #1,
accepting him to be Lord, 

42
00:03:23,700 --> 00:03:28,700
followed by a genuine repentance
which entailed the confession of

43
00:03:28,700 --> 00:03:36,940
his sins, which was justified, 
meaning the confession. 

44
00:03:36,940 --> 00:03:41,460
The repentance was justified and
amplified by his promise of 

45
00:03:41,460 --> 00:03:46,540
doing good deeds, by giving half
of it for his wealth to the poor

46
00:03:46,620 --> 00:03:50,910
and the other half repaying 
those who he default or he 

47
00:03:51,350 --> 00:04:01,750
defrauded 4 folds. 
And this extended and life was 

48
00:04:01,750 --> 00:04:05,510
declared to him and to his 
household through Jesus. 

49
00:04:06,470 --> 00:04:10,070
Marisha, that of mirth pay truck
of the Assyrian Church of the 

50
00:04:10,070 --> 00:04:14,110
East, writes that while the 
chaos was in the tree, he was 

51
00:04:14,110 --> 00:04:19,640
actually praying in his mind and
saying in his mind thinking in 

52
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:22,480
his mind and his heart. 
Blessed is everyone who is 

53
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:27,640
worthy, worthy that this this 
righteous man Jesus should go 

54
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:34,120
into his house. 
And the all knowing God, Jesus 

55
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:38,920
Christ, praise be to his name, 
knew him and knew his desires. 

56
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:43,840
And hence Jesus says haste. 
Make haste to come down the 

57
00:04:43,840 --> 00:04:46,840
case. 
I need to be in your house. 

58
00:04:48,300 --> 00:04:53,420
One very crucial point to note 
is that Jesus Christ didn't 

59
00:04:53,420 --> 00:04:59,060
justify and was not in 
acceptance of the crime or the 

60
00:04:59,060 --> 00:05:04,660
criminal life of Zakias as an 
extortionist, A deceiving 

61
00:05:04,660 --> 00:05:07,300
person, a lying person, as a 
cruel person. 

62
00:05:07,300 --> 00:05:10,580
No, no, no. 
Off the bat we must we must 

63
00:05:10,740 --> 00:05:15,460
acknowledge that he did not 
justify or in any way, shape or 

64
00:05:15,460 --> 00:05:19,390
form except the criminals life 
as a criminal. 

65
00:05:20,150 --> 00:05:26,750
No, but he saw Zakhayas in a way
that the world could not see 

66
00:05:26,750 --> 00:05:31,790
him. 
Now that should be our response 

67
00:05:31,790 --> 00:05:38,590
to anyone who is not only active
and involved in a life that is 

68
00:05:38,590 --> 00:05:46,610
an abomination revolting to 
mankind and it is inverse. 

69
00:05:46,610 --> 00:05:50,490
It is opposite to human ethics, 
manners and etiquette. 

70
00:05:51,970 --> 00:05:55,370
And I think it was the last 
episode of the episode before 

71
00:05:55,370 --> 00:05:59,490
that we spoke about the the 
Assyrian manners ethics and 

72
00:05:59,490 --> 00:06:02,650
etiquettes. 
Not only that, but more so and 

73
00:06:02,650 --> 00:06:09,290
more importantly, it is not 
accepted to the Lord God. 

74
00:06:10,530 --> 00:06:17,360
It is not appropriate to live a 
life of abomination to the Lord 

75
00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:25,400
God, be it heterosexuals outside
of marriage. 

76
00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:33,840
I'm talking about adulterers, be
it bisexuals, Alcoholics, drug 

77
00:06:33,840 --> 00:06:39,000
addicts, extortionists, gays, 
lesbians, queers, transgenders 

78
00:06:39,280 --> 00:06:44,710
or homosexuals. 
First and foremost. 

79
00:06:44,710 --> 00:06:50,270
We should not for a moment and 
even begin to contemplate to 

80
00:06:50,270 --> 00:06:57,070
justify and be lenient on the 
detestability of the above 

81
00:06:57,070 --> 00:06:59,070
mentioned lifestyles that I 
mentioned. 

82
00:06:59,070 --> 00:07:02,870
No, that is not doing anyone any
good. 

83
00:07:04,270 --> 00:07:10,270
Since God was not, has not, has 
not been, and will not be 

84
00:07:10,270 --> 00:07:17,280
lenient to sin, so too, the 
Church has not been, is not, and

85
00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:22,880
should not and will not at any 
time be lenient to sin. 

86
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:25,920
Period. 
There it is. 

87
00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:31,280
I've said it two episodes ago. 
I even warned and mentioned that

88
00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:37,520
those who are engaged in such 
abominable lifestyles should 

89
00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:42,460
refrain from partaking in the 
Holy Eucharist for their own 

90
00:07:42,460 --> 00:07:46,420
well-being. 
Now if you are challenging and 

91
00:07:46,420 --> 00:07:51,420
questioning my words right now, 
let me provide you scriptural 

92
00:07:51,420 --> 00:07:57,860
evidence and support. 
Now a side note that this is to 

93
00:07:57,860 --> 00:08:02,220
those who claim to be believers 
and lovers of God and His Son, 

94
00:08:02,220 --> 00:08:05,980
Jesus Christ and His all 
sanctifying Holy Spirit. 

95
00:08:06,980 --> 00:08:12,710
Let's read some scripture. 
Leviticus chapter 18 verses 22 

96
00:08:12,710 --> 00:08:15,150
to 23. 
And this is God who does not 

97
00:08:15,150 --> 00:08:19,630
change like a shadow. 
Saint James writes, God says you

98
00:08:19,630 --> 00:08:23,110
shall not sleep with a male as 
one sleeps with a female. 

99
00:08:23,910 --> 00:08:27,910
It is an abomination. 
Also, you shall not have sexual 

100
00:08:27,910 --> 00:08:32,909
intercourse with any animal to 
be defiled with it, nor shall 

101
00:08:32,909 --> 00:08:36,350
any woman stand before an animal
to mate with it. 

102
00:08:36,710 --> 00:08:44,150
It is a perversion back in my 
school days, and I say this in 

103
00:08:44,190 --> 00:08:47,430
all shame. 
You know, Saint Paul writes to 

104
00:08:47,430 --> 00:08:50,670
the Galatians, I believe. 
What good do you have of those 

105
00:08:50,670 --> 00:08:54,870
things that you did in your life
before coming to Christ that now

106
00:08:54,870 --> 00:08:58,990
you are ashamed of? 
There was the pornographic 

107
00:08:58,990 --> 00:09:03,270
videos and there was a 
pornographic videos of humans 

108
00:09:03,310 --> 00:09:07,570
and animals. 
That is disgusting. 

109
00:09:07,570 --> 00:09:09,850
That's revolting. 
Some of you may be saying this 

110
00:09:09,850 --> 00:09:12,690
right now. 
Why does it keep harping on 

111
00:09:12,690 --> 00:09:14,250
these things? 
Because these things are 

112
00:09:14,250 --> 00:09:18,450
happening. 
Beloved saying Peter writes that

113
00:09:18,490 --> 00:09:22,930
mankind has been like an animal 
and is like an animal today. 

114
00:09:23,530 --> 00:09:28,050
So it's in the scriptures. 
We're quoting scriptures where 

115
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:33,120
supporting our argument or our 
statements with scriptures, holy

116
00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:35,880
scriptures as He and again to 
those who read scriptures and 

117
00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:37,520
post scriptures and love the 
Lord. 

118
00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:41,390
This is for us. 
In Leviticus chapter 20, verse 

119
00:09:41,390 --> 00:09:43,470
13. 
If there is a man who sleeps 

120
00:09:43,470 --> 00:09:46,910
with a male as those who sleep 
with a woman, both of them have 

121
00:09:46,910 --> 00:09:50,150
committed a detestable act. 
They must be put to death. 

122
00:09:50,270 --> 00:09:53,350
They have brought their own 
deaths upon themselves. 

123
00:09:53,350 --> 00:09:56,510
See, it's there. 
They have brought their own 

124
00:09:56,510 --> 00:09:59,830
deaths upon themselves. 
It's not that God desires the 

125
00:09:59,830 --> 00:10:01,310
death of a sin. 
I know he doesn't. 

126
00:10:01,470 --> 00:10:06,190
They have sown the evil. 
They are now going to rape the 

127
00:10:06,190 --> 00:10:10,270
evil. 
And if you're saying this is Old

128
00:10:10,270 --> 00:10:13,750
Testament, Jesus Christ has 
abolished. 

129
00:10:15,590 --> 00:10:21,390
Don't dare claim that Jesus 
abolished the Old Testament and 

130
00:10:21,390 --> 00:10:23,950
the law. 
I don't care whether you wrap it

131
00:10:24,470 --> 00:10:27,950
or you sing it or it's a TikTok 
meme. 

132
00:10:27,950 --> 00:10:30,520
Don't because you're 
disrespecting the Holy 

133
00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:32,800
scriptures. 
Matthew chapter 5 verses 17 to 

134
00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:35,240
18. 
Jesus says do not think that I 

135
00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:39,240
have come to revoke or abolish 
the written law or the prophets.

136
00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:42,600
I'm not come to revoke or 
abolish but to fulfill. 

137
00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:46,320
Yes, I say to you that until 
heaven and earth will pass away 

138
00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:49,960
one Ute which is one of the 
alphabets in the in the Syrian 

139
00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:53,000
alphabet and without the the 
ending it's the smallest 

140
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:56,200
alphabet. 
One Ute and one tag or stroke 

141
00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:59,000
will not pass away from the 
written law until everything 

142
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:03,840
will happen. 
This is scripture not 

143
00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:09,200
compromising, calling it as it 
is calling a spade a spade. 

144
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:12,400
Romans chapter one verses 26 to 
28. 

145
00:11:12,990 --> 00:11:14,630
This is in the in the New 
Testament. 

146
00:11:14,830 --> 00:11:18,470
Therefore God handed them over 
to disgraceful diseases and 

147
00:11:18,470 --> 00:11:21,870
their females change their 
natural need and became 

148
00:11:21,870 --> 00:11:24,350
accustomed to that which is 
unnatural. 

149
00:11:24,510 --> 00:11:27,990
Why do we not read these 
scripture passages and preach 

150
00:11:27,990 --> 00:11:31,190
them when we are justifying and 
compromising sin? 

151
00:11:31,190 --> 00:11:33,030
Why? 
Why do we only harp on? 

152
00:11:33,070 --> 00:11:35,590
Jesus is love. 
Of course God is love. 

153
00:11:35,750 --> 00:11:38,550
But what about these verses? 
These are in the scriptures. 

154
00:11:38,550 --> 00:11:41,030
These are inspired by the Holy 
Spirit which is God. 

155
00:11:41,560 --> 00:11:45,440
And again also their males in 
this way abandoned the natural 

156
00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:49,240
need of for females, and they 
were ravished with desires for 

157
00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:54,400
one another, even made from male
for male, and committed disgrace

158
00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:58,880
and received a right reward in 
their persons for their error 

159
00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:03,520
and became and because they 
deceit decided in themselves not

160
00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:06,690
to know God. 
Let me read that again. 

161
00:12:06,690 --> 00:12:11,530
And because they decided in 
themselves they did, they did 

162
00:12:11,530 --> 00:12:14,250
this not to know God. 
God handed them over to a 

163
00:12:14,250 --> 00:12:17,610
worthless mind, so that they 
would be doing whatever is 

164
00:12:17,610 --> 00:12:20,850
inappropriate. 
Jew Chapter one verses five to 

165
00:12:20,850 --> 00:12:24,130
seven. 
Now I want to remind you, though

166
00:12:24,130 --> 00:12:27,970
you know everything once and for
all, that the Lord, after saving

167
00:12:27,970 --> 00:12:31,850
a people out of the land of 
Egypt, subsequently destroyed 

168
00:12:31,850 --> 00:12:35,970
those who did not believe the A 
and the angels who did not keep 

169
00:12:35,970 --> 00:12:39,530
their own dominion, but 
abandoned their proper dwelling 

170
00:12:39,530 --> 00:12:42,490
place. 
These he has kept in eternal 

171
00:12:42,490 --> 00:12:46,130
restraints under darkness for 
the judgment of the great day. 

172
00:12:46,130 --> 00:12:49,770
These are the demons, just as 
solemn Sodom and Gomorrah. 

173
00:12:49,770 --> 00:12:53,090
Read up on Sodom and Gora, 
Gomorrah and the cities around 

174
00:12:53,090 --> 00:12:57,530
them, Since they, in the same 
way as these angels, indulged in

175
00:12:57,530 --> 00:13:03,450
sexual perversion and went after
strange flesh, are exhibited as 

176
00:13:03,450 --> 00:13:07,370
an example in undergoing the 
punishment of eternal fire. 

177
00:13:10,570 --> 00:13:16,990
So, beloved, it is 
unconditionally an abomination 

178
00:13:16,990 --> 00:13:20,350
to the Lord, to the Church, and 
it should be to old Christ 

179
00:13:20,350 --> 00:13:23,990
loving faithfuls, just as 
Zechayes was. 

180
00:13:23,990 --> 00:13:31,310
However, however, we'll also 
learn from Jesus that when we 

181
00:13:31,310 --> 00:13:39,310
have the desire and the attempt 
and the hope for restoration of 

182
00:13:39,310 --> 00:13:46,700
those who are corrupted by 
abominable sins and find to find

183
00:13:46,700 --> 00:13:55,220
those who are lost in love, the 
keyword in love love accompanied

184
00:13:55,420 --> 00:14:01,620
complimented by the stern and 
unwavering stance on the non 

185
00:14:01,620 --> 00:14:04,740
acceptance of the perversity of 
the sin. 

186
00:14:05,660 --> 00:14:11,380
To love someone does not mean 
that you justify and you accept 

187
00:14:11,580 --> 00:14:16,910
the sin of that person. 
Now if you say what do you mean 

188
00:14:16,910 --> 00:14:19,630
Rabi, what are you talking 
about? 

189
00:14:19,630 --> 00:14:23,670
Well let me tell you exactly 
what I mean through the 

190
00:14:23,670 --> 00:14:31,270
scriptures 1 Corinthians 511. 
But actually I wrote to you not 

191
00:14:31,270 --> 00:14:36,830
to associate with any so-called 
brother if he is a sexually 

192
00:14:36,870 --> 00:14:40,990
immoral person. 
Let me read it again. 

193
00:14:41,470 --> 00:14:43,590
Pull over. 
Stop your washing, your cooking,

194
00:14:43,590 --> 00:14:45,270
what have you pull over. 
Listen to this. 

195
00:14:45,270 --> 00:14:49,430
This is in the Holy Scriptures. 
This is read in the churches 

196
00:14:49,750 --> 00:14:55,910
during the Eucharistic service. 
But actually, I wrote to you not

197
00:14:55,950 --> 00:15:00,990
to associate with any socalled 
brother if he is a sexually 

198
00:15:00,990 --> 00:15:08,360
immoral person or a greedy 
person or an idolater, or is 

199
00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:16,200
verbally abusive or habitually 
drunk or a swindler, not even to

200
00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:23,680
eat with such a person. 
Now that sounds, and the by the 

201
00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:27,880
sounds of what Saint Paul is 
saying is instructing, is that 

202
00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:32,640
our response and our 
relationship with those who are 

203
00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:36,000
in grief, sin. 
We're talking about the Lgbtqs, 

204
00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:39,720
those who are active. 
Our relationship and our 

205
00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:47,040
response with such people should
be one that is distant, limited 

206
00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:52,360
and somewhat subliminal. 
Oh, how people are going to stop

207
00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:56,160
listening to this, I believe, 
but the truth must be said. 

208
00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:04,640
So love must also go hand in 
hand with caring and seeing the 

209
00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:10,870
person that is in such atrocity 
as one who is a soul, a being, 

210
00:16:11,070 --> 00:16:16,590
and more so a child of God. 
That is why Paul is instructing 

211
00:16:16,630 --> 00:16:23,510
and declaring such demanding and
severe outlook. 

212
00:16:23,750 --> 00:16:28,310
Lack of a better term. 
And you know, an act of someone 

213
00:16:28,310 --> 00:16:33,190
who is insin so that we can win 
that person back. 

214
00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:37,920
See Luke 19/9. 
When Jesus declared life to the 

215
00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:44,160
House of Zacchaeus, he explained
that Zacchaeus is a son of 

216
00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:48,000
Abraham. 
The reason why Saint Paul is 

217
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:52,080
telling us not to associate and 
not to eat with this person is 

218
00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:55,240
so that person can come to that 
realization. 

219
00:16:55,520 --> 00:17:02,400
That person is a soul. 
That person is God's creation, 

220
00:17:03,490 --> 00:17:07,970
created, made, fashioned in the 
image and likeness of God. 

221
00:17:08,369 --> 00:17:13,130
That soul will be rewarded 
according to the deeds, whether 

222
00:17:13,130 --> 00:17:20,010
good or evil. 
But now if you're asking, well, 

223
00:17:20,010 --> 00:17:22,690
how can I then reach out to 
someone if I'm supposed to 

224
00:17:23,010 --> 00:17:27,250
distance myself? 
Paul says do not associate, do 

225
00:17:27,250 --> 00:17:32,010
not encourage, do not accept, do
not. 

226
00:17:32,090 --> 00:17:35,650
Oh, that is so beautiful. 
Oh yeah, you know, you're right.

227
00:17:35,650 --> 00:17:39,170
No, no, that is causing more 
damage. 

228
00:17:39,490 --> 00:17:42,930
Beloved, be prepared to always 
correct. 

229
00:17:43,370 --> 00:17:48,530
Be prepared to always stretch 
out the hand of assistance and 

230
00:17:48,530 --> 00:17:54,090
help and aid to restore, not to 
encourage, to continue in the 

231
00:17:54,090 --> 00:17:56,730
death. 
This is the response of those 

232
00:17:56,730 --> 00:18:00,610
Christians who want to help 
those that are in sin. 

233
00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:04,640
Philippians 2. 
Four, we read, Do not merely 

234
00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:08,600
look out for your own personal 
interest, but also for the 

235
00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:11,680
interests of others. 
Be prepared. 

236
00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:18,160
Caring for others should follow 
none other than praying and 

237
00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:22,840
fasting. 
That is the pinnacle response, 

238
00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:29,480
beloved, the response of the 
responses, praying and fasting, 

239
00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:36,880
not compromising and encouraging
and accepting and justifying and

240
00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:39,920
finding excuses. 
No, they are weak. 

241
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:46,840
They are flawed. 
But praying and fasting that the

242
00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:51,040
Lord will, the Lord's will will 
be done, that the Lord will 

243
00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:53,480
determine the paths of reaching 
out. 

244
00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:57,840
How do I reach out that the Lord
will open the door of 

245
00:18:57,840 --> 00:19:03,700
communication for one purpose 
only, one purpose of restoration

246
00:19:04,140 --> 00:19:07,580
that the Lord will deliver from 
the evil one and his host? 

247
00:19:07,820 --> 00:19:10,940
You know why we repeat this in 
the Church, in the liturgical 

248
00:19:10,940 --> 00:19:14,300
services, when the priest says, 
deliver us from the evil one and

249
00:19:14,300 --> 00:19:18,300
his host, and everyone repeats 
from the evil one and his host, 

250
00:19:18,300 --> 00:19:24,920
Because it is such a significant
and such a such a a most wanted 

251
00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:29,440
request, such a needy request. 
That Lord, we need, you, we 

252
00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:32,600
help, we want, and we beseech 
that you deliver us from the 

253
00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:39,560
Evil One and His Host. 
And at all times, beloved, our 

254
00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:43,720
response should be that we are 
available to respond to the 

255
00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:51,650
desire and any indications of 
remorse, sorrow or repentance. 

256
00:19:52,090 --> 00:19:57,090
Any cry for help, any cry for 
assistance for cleric 

257
00:19:57,170 --> 00:20:02,330
clarification running out. 
This is our response to run out,

258
00:20:02,330 --> 00:20:07,090
to go out of your way, to be 
there, the prodigal son when he 

259
00:20:07,090 --> 00:20:11,310
came to his senses. 
And when he confessed that he is

260
00:20:11,310 --> 00:20:14,590
dying because he is, he is 
distanced from his father. 

261
00:20:14,710 --> 00:20:18,630
And he confessed that the father
has so much, there is so much 

262
00:20:18,630 --> 00:20:23,630
grace and love and mercies. 
But the Father never justified 

263
00:20:23,950 --> 00:20:28,450
what the prodigal son did. 
No, he didn't say it's OK, my 

264
00:20:28,450 --> 00:20:29,570
son. 
No, he didn't say. 

265
00:20:29,650 --> 00:20:32,690
He didn't refer to his sin 
because there was that 

266
00:20:32,690 --> 00:20:36,010
confession and that repentance 
when he said, I will return, 

267
00:20:36,010 --> 00:20:38,690
there's your repentance. 
And he made his way to the 

268
00:20:38,690 --> 00:20:42,650
Father, and the Father ran out. 
The Father didn't go looking for

269
00:20:42,650 --> 00:20:45,930
the prodigal son and said, oh, 
so is this where you're living? 

270
00:20:45,970 --> 00:20:49,850
Oh, this is your partner. 
Oh, so you 2 live here together 

271
00:20:49,890 --> 00:20:53,250
and you share this bed together?
No, he didn't do that. 

272
00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:58,280
He waited for the sun to return.
But the minute the sun returned,

273
00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:01,360
beloved, he ran out. 
That's got to be your response. 

274
00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:08,360
If you love someone, that has to
be your response to run out only

275
00:21:08,360 --> 00:21:13,040
to be prepared to help 
restoration and repentance. 

276
00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:20,200
And in all this, beloved, we 
need to be careful. 

277
00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:26,670
We need to be aware. 
We need to be alert, careful and

278
00:21:26,670 --> 00:21:31,310
looking out for our Christian 
well-being, our own Christian 

279
00:21:31,310 --> 00:21:39,510
well-being, because we are 
taking on the deeds, the 

280
00:21:39,510 --> 00:21:47,590
ideology, the will of Satan, 
Galatians chapter 6, verse one, 

281
00:21:47,590 --> 00:21:51,870
Saint Paul writes. 
Brothers and sisters, if a 

282
00:21:51,870 --> 00:21:56,070
person is caught in any 
wrongdoing, you who are 

283
00:21:56,070 --> 00:22:00,430
spiritual number one, we need to
be praying and fasting for 

284
00:22:00,430 --> 00:22:04,830
ourselves. 
Lord, good me arm me, strengthen

285
00:22:04,830 --> 00:22:09,030
me, wisen me, give me strength. 
I'm going to go in battle now. 

286
00:22:10,790 --> 00:22:14,350
You, who are spiritual, are to 
restore such a person in a 

287
00:22:14,350 --> 00:22:22,580
spirit of gentleness, love, 
understanding, sympathizing in a

288
00:22:22,580 --> 00:22:26,980
way where I I know it's wrong. 
I know why you're doing what 

289
00:22:26,980 --> 00:22:31,340
you're doing, but not 
compromising and accepting but 

290
00:22:31,420 --> 00:22:35,100
each one looking to yourself so 
that you are not tempted as 

291
00:22:35,100 --> 00:22:37,820
well. 
You are not tempted again to 

292
00:22:37,820 --> 00:22:41,100
compromise the truth of Jesus 
Christ found in the Holy 

293
00:22:41,100 --> 00:22:44,860
Scriptures and in the Church. 
That is her faith, her doctrine,

294
00:22:44,860 --> 00:22:47,500
her cannons, her liturgy, and 
her mysteries. 

295
00:22:48,260 --> 00:22:51,290
Lastly, always be ready to 
listen. 

296
00:22:52,770 --> 00:22:59,010
Always be ready to listen rather
than to yak and yak and yak with

297
00:22:59,010 --> 00:23:01,450
too many words and not enough 
information. 

298
00:23:02,450 --> 00:23:06,210
Always know and understand that 
there is a reason and a 

299
00:23:06,450 --> 00:23:10,450
circumstance to every situation,
to every issue. 

300
00:23:14,530 --> 00:23:18,960
All this must be done. 
But, and this all comes from 

301
00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:25,040
that love that is portrayed in 
one Corinthians 13, Love that 

302
00:23:25,120 --> 00:23:31,000
does not rejoice in 
unrighteousness or evil or filth

303
00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:35,320
or immorality, but rejoices with
the truth. 

304
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:42,480
Now as a result of this episode,
you know saying Paul writes, I 

305
00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:45,840
think it's to again to the 
collisions. 

306
00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:49,670
He said you know I and let me 
paraphrase it. 

307
00:23:49,670 --> 00:23:54,630
You know, I feel sorry that I 
have I have caused grief within 

308
00:23:54,630 --> 00:23:58,590
you. 
I I'm sorry that I have upset 

309
00:23:58,590 --> 00:24:00,430
you. 
I'm upset that I have upset you.

310
00:24:00,430 --> 00:24:03,630
But you know what? 
No, I'm glad that I have upset 

311
00:24:03,630 --> 00:24:07,710
at you because you're upset. 
Your grief will bring you to 

312
00:24:07,750 --> 00:24:11,990
repentance as a result of this 
episode. 

313
00:24:12,350 --> 00:24:18,230
If I have offended anyone, if I 
have upset anyone, no, I will 

314
00:24:18,230 --> 00:24:22,070
not apologize. 
I will thank God, because I pray

315
00:24:22,070 --> 00:24:25,510
that that upset that grief will 
bring to repentance. 

316
00:24:26,590 --> 00:24:31,830
And I would officially, and with
all love and peace and harmony 

317
00:24:31,950 --> 00:24:36,070
and caring, I would like to 
extend a loving and caring 

318
00:24:36,070 --> 00:24:41,390
information to all who are 
stricken by the wounds of L GB 

319
00:24:41,390 --> 00:24:48,850
TQ plus, to come to come and 
open a friendly, a confidential,

320
00:24:49,730 --> 00:24:52,290
confidential, friendly 
discussion. 

321
00:24:53,170 --> 00:24:57,810
I will by no means judge to 
condemnation, but rather make 

322
00:24:57,810 --> 00:25:01,570
aware of the judgment awaiting 
us. 

323
00:25:01,810 --> 00:25:07,690
By Jesus Christ I will not 
merely point out the wrong, but 

324
00:25:07,690 --> 00:25:11,530
I will make aware of what is 
right and what is holy. 

325
00:25:12,180 --> 00:25:17,500
I will by no means call evil 
good, but rather find a path to 

326
00:25:17,500 --> 00:25:22,060
changing the evil into good. 
By the grace of God. 

327
00:25:23,820 --> 00:25:28,620
I say, come now and let us 
reason together. 

328
00:25:29,900 --> 00:25:34,540
Though your sins be as Scarlets,
they shall be as white as snow. 

329
00:25:35,300 --> 00:25:40,100
Though they be red like Crimson,
they shall be as wool. 

330
00:25:41,150 --> 00:25:45,110
And this you'll find in Isaiah 
chapter one, verse 18, which is 

331
00:25:45,110 --> 00:25:49,590
an invitation from God, praise 
and glory be to His holy name, 

332
00:25:49,950 --> 00:25:51,550
now and at all times and 
forever. 

333
00:25:52,310 --> 00:26:13,120
Amen.
