Episode Theme and Purpose

This special crossover episode brings together the Nephilim Death Squad crew with Matthew Hepner (Straight Bible) for a no-holds-barred Bible Q&A session. With characteristic blend of Christian comedy, conspiratorial banter, and deep scriptural inquiry, the crew tackles Patreon-submitted and live chat Bible questions, spiritual dilemmas, and personal struggles. The conversation weaves between biblical cosmology, doctrine, spiritual phenomena, and practical Christian life—all delivered in a raw, humorous, and unvarnished style.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. The Meaning Behind "Nephilim Death Squad"

• Discussion: Addressed public discomfort with the show's name and biblical implications of the Nephilim.
• Quote: "Why are people like, oh, they don't even know they're using something bad?" —Matthew Hepner [03:13]
• Insight: The hosts make clear that their squad is killing Nephilim, not venerating them, emphasizing their intent to confront—not befriend—the forces of darkness.

---

2. The Sentience of Creation: Can the Earth Communicate with God?

Timestamps: [06:18]–[13:38]

• Passages: Genesis 4:10, Job 31:38, Luke 19:40
• Summary:
  • Explored scriptural hints of earth’s “sentience” and its way of “communicating” with God.
  • Debated if creation’s groaning (Romans 8) suggests a unique reverence for all things created.
  • Anecdotes about frequency, resonance, and playing music with mushrooms—comedic but thematic about the vibrational aspect of nature.
• Quote:
  • "If a stone can cry out to God, should we be viewing all creation—not just sentience—with a different kind of reverence?" —Listener question [06:18]
  • “The earth must have been like, yo, like this tastes… First time I’ve had human blood.” —Top Lobsta, joking on Genesis 4 [11:32]
• Insight: The crew agrees the earth, as part of creation, has a responsive relationship with God, but not an independent will, and believers are called to steward creation with reverence.

---

3. The Trinity—Explained (and Argued Over)

Timestamps: [18:42]–[24:44]

• Summary:
  • Broke down the doctrine of the Trinity—God as three persons (Father, Son, Holy Spirit) but one essence.
  • Compared to the human being: spirit, soul, body—three in one.
  • Wrestled with analogies (Pizza Hut/KFC/Taco Bell triple franchise, the Kool-Aid Man) to demystify the concept and highlight its ineffability.
• Quote:
  • “The God being is made up of three persons. Where the problem comes in is we don’t have a grid for that, but the Bible’s clear.” —Matthew Hepner [19:52]
  • “So guys, if you’re confused what we’re talking about: it’s like a Pizza Hut inside of a Taco Bell inside of a KFC.” —Top Lobsta [23:15]
• Insight: The hosts accept that some mysteries (like the Trinity) are beyond human comprehension, but see scriptural analogies for “three-in-one” both in God and humanity.

---

4. Who Was The Naked Young Man at Jesus’ Arrest?

Timestamps: [25:21]–[33:16]

• Summary:
  • Discussed Mark 14:51 (the young man who flees naked during Christ’s arrest); consensus is that he was likely Mark, the Gospel’s author, as tradition holds.
  • Used it to highlight how stories get “mangled” into weird interpretations—reminding listeners to focus on broad biblical character, not out-of-context oddities.
  • Memorable: Tangent on Peter’s penchant for nudity in scripture; banter about “heroic nude” combat.
• Quote: “He ran away naked; that’s how real it was. He doesn’t care that he’s ass naked, he’s running away from this entire experience.” —David Lee Corbo [26:36]
• Insight: Nakedness in scripture often underscores the urgency or intensity of the moment, not anything scandalous.

---

5. Can People Be Saved if They’ve Never Heard of Christ?

Timestamps: [33:17]–[38:39]

• Summary:
  • Addressed classic question: what of those who never hear the Gospel?
  • Cited Acts 10 (“God is no respecter of persons, but in every nation he who fears Him and works righteousness is accepted by Him”), and Romans 1 (through creation, God is revealed, so all are “without excuse”).
• Quote:
  • “God’s issue is not how do I put good people in hell. God’s issue is, ‘How do I get bad people into heaven?’” —Matthew Hepner [34:51]
  • “People say, ‘Show me the proof for a God’—you go, ‘Look around.’” —David Lee Corbo [36:36]
• Insight: No easy answer, but scripture indicates God’s justice and mercy; all are responsible for the revelation they have.

---

6. Hearing God's Voice—Literal or Spiritual?

Timestamps: [42:41]–[45:45]

• Summary:
  • Do you hear God's audible voice? All agreed: not in the literal sense.
  • Spiritual “hearing” is more like a deep, immediate clarity or a “still, small voice.”
  • Practical advice: cut busyness, carve out intentional spiritual time, be open to God’s quiet prompting.
• Quote:
  • "When I pray… as soon as I say it out loud, the solution is there immediately." —David Lee Corbo [44:29]
  • “It’s spirit to spirit communication. God is looking for those who worship Him in spirit and truth.” —Matthew Hepner [45:54]
• Insight: Most divine guidance is internal, subtle, and requires spiritual attention rather than physical senses.

---

7. The Hardest Parts of Spiritual Transformation

Timestamps: [46:13]–[58:23]

• Summary:
  • Candid sharing about biggest struggles when coming to faith:
    • Matt: drugs, cursing, shifting core identity, cutting off relationships. Emphasized it was “violent,” total life-reorientation.
    • Top & Raven: less “hard choices,” more slow, organic changes as their desires shifted with deeper faith.
    • Importance of proximity to God for internal change rather than sheer willpower.
• Quote:
  • “You no longer desire pecker-pulling and weed-smoking… you have a whole new set of desires, man.” —Matthew Hepner [51:11]
  • “Because of Christ I had the strength… I couldn’t do it on my own.” —David Lee Corbo [56:16]
• Insight: Real transformation comes through relationship with God, not by forcing superficial behavioral changes.

---

8. Biblical Worship & Dominion—What Counts?

Timestamps: [58:28]–[69:17]

• Summary:
  • Broad definition of worship: where your attention/focus (“worth-ship”) goes, energy flows.
  • It's more than music or formal ceremony; it's about continuous orientation towards God, aiming the whole life at Him.
  • Dominion: believers already have spiritual authority—praying for it is less important than walking in it.
• Quote:
  • “Worship is what you’re aimed at. It’s a nautical term—the worth of your ship.” —Top Lobsta [60:04]
  • “Your best orientation is directly at God. That’s worship in whatever form. It’s the opposite of sinning.”—Top Lobsta [66:04]
• Insight: Worship is continuous, internal posture. Believers are called to live as ambassadors with inherent spiritual dominion.

---

9. Life, Death, the Afterlife & Ancestral Watching

Timestamps: [102:02]–[106:50]

• Summary:
  • Can departed loved ones “see” us? The Bible hints at a “cloud of witnesses,” but specifics are unclear.
  • Praying for the dead? Not biblical (“appointed for men once to die, then the judgment”—Hebrews 9:27).
  • Maintained responsibility to live fully now; one life, one shot.
• Quote:
  • “You got one shot. That’s it, dude. As soon as the off button goes off, like, that’s it.” —Matthew Hepner [103:13]

---

10. Favorite Bible Translations & Accessibility

Timestamps: [90:23]–[93:40]

• Summary:
  • KJV, NLT, and “Hawaiian Pidgin” translations discussed; consensus: Read whatever is easiest for you to understand, then graduate to deeper study.
  • Fun segment as the crew imitates Hawaiian Pidgin Bible [92:05].
• Quote:
  • “He stay show up by them for 40 days and when tell them, however… God stay king.” —David Lee Corbo, Hawaiian Pidgin style [93:12–93:23]
• Insight: The point is understanding and internalizing the word, not just preferring one translation over another.

---

11. Other Noteworthy Segments

• Righteous & Unrighteous Anger ([74:09]–[83:54]): Top Lobsta explains his “on-air” persona vs. real-life kindness, sparking a debate about righteous anger and authenticity.
• Dream Analysis ([95:31]–[100:41]): Raven shares a vivid dream; group unpacks possible symbolic meanings (spiritual warfare, family history).
• In-group Preference & Separation from the World ([109:27]–[112:25]): Maintaining spiritual/social boundaries without falling into insularity.

---

Notable Quotes & Moments

• “If I was ever gonna fight a dude, and he was like ‘dicks out, dog,’ I’d be like, bro, you’re about to beat my ass.” —David Lee Corbo on “heroic nude” [31:09]
• “White caskets—beautiful outside, and inside, full of dead man’s bones.” —Matthew Hepner [36:30]
• “God doesn’t owe you that wife, bro… imagine if you’re Adam and you never had a female.” —Matthew Hepner [81:25]
• “His sheep know his voice, dude. He’s got to speak in a language that people…” —Matthew Hepner [93:54]

This podcast is sponsored by Pocket Hose. Hi, I'm Richard Karn. Homeowners, listen up. Before pocket hose, garden hoses were heavy, bulky, hard to carry, and always kinking. Then pocket hose changed all that. It's the American invention that made watering lighter, easier and smarter. And now, the world's number one expanding hose has gone ballistic. Turn on the water and watch it grow from a compact hose into a full length, powerful hose. Turn off the water and it shrinks right back down, making it easy to carry and easy to store. But now it's even better with a tough, ballistic infused outer sleeve, a pocket pivot that helps reduce kinks at the spigot, thicker washers to help resist leaks, and UV protection to fight sun damage. And for a limited time, you'll get two free gifts, a 360 degree pocket pivot and a thumb drive nozzle.

[Matthew Hepner]

Why is he talking like that?

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Session dude.

[Top Lobster]

Do it serious.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

I'm David Lee Corbo, AKA the Raven. That's seriously. Top Lobster. The father Disinformation. You don't even have your torta sign on, dude. Oh, come on, dude.

[Matthew Hepner]

It's all right.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

And we're joined by Matthew Hepner, host of Straight Bible and owner of.

[Matthew Hepner]

Why does it keep coming up about the name Nephilim Death Squad? Why are people like, oh, they don't even know they're using something bad.

[Top Lobster]

Oh, yeah. What does the name Nephilim Death Squad mean to you?

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Oh, that's interesting. That's actually a conversation we were having before the show started. Dick Wrinkle, are you here? Are you listening?

[Matthew Hepner]

Was he listening in?

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

That's kind of weird, man. So I think.

[Top Lobster]

I think that they're just privy to the. Jacob is really gay.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Oh, he's. He. Is he saying that online? I wouldn't know because he never bothered to tag me. I just.

[Top Lobster]

I did let him know. I let him know.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

And you know what he said? I forgot his name.

[Top Lobster]

Who's that?

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Yeah, basically, I forgot his name. I just sent him a sad face.

[Matthew Hepner]

Yeah.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

So as the name in insinuates, it suggests whatever it does, the name of the show. We're gonna answer some question here.

[Top Lobster]

Hold on.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Okay.

[Top Lobster]

No, I'm just going to send him the link.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Okay. Richard Wrinkle is.

[Top Lobster]

Huh?

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Yeah, yeah, he knows. Oh, you're gonna send him the link to come in the show?

[Top Lobster]

No, the link to watch the show. He's not invited on the show.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Okay.

[Matthew Hepner]

I guess a boomer peeled a sticker off the Brownwood location that said Nephilim Death Squad.

[Top Lobster]

They didn't like that.

[Matthew Hepner]

And they're like, nephilim are bad. And then Rory was like, yeah, no, no, no, it's Death squad, though. It's not. We're not saying they're good. He's like, no, these are bad. And, like, peeled them off.

[Top Lobster]

We live now.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Yeah, why don't you. Why didn't you. Rory say, hey, Rowdy? Yeah, she should get rowdy. She should. She should go. Don't touch my. Here you.

[Top Lobster]

Whoa.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Yeah, I'm just saying that's what Rory should say. Yeah, zoom out, because his head is huge. So we're gonna answer some questions if you guys want to submit the questions. I don't know, it's probably too late for that because we already have a bunch of them. But on.

[Top Lobster]

We got a lot of questions in there.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

On our Patreon is where we got the question. Yeah, we already have 22. And the way that re riff will turn this into a whole, you know, it'll be forever, so let's jump straight into it. Hey, hey, hey, hey.

[Top Lobster]

We're live on Straight Bible, too, so we can't curse.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Oh, that's right. That's gonna be hard.

[Matthew Hepner]

Oh, it's on both.

[Top Lobster]

It's on both. You want it to not be on stream?

[Matthew Hepner]

It's gonna be a little while.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Okay, well, your audience will have to forgive me for my antics.

[Top Lobster]

No, you behave yourself.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Well, I. Look, if we start talking about Jacob Israel forgetting my name, I'm gonna get all wound up.

[Matthew Hepner]

Yeah, you do.

[Top Lobster]

Get over it. Up about it. Get all wound up and then get over it.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Okay, well, you know, some things are harder to get over than others.

[Matthew Hepner]

Who's the guy that's coming on tonight?

[Top Lobster]

He's not coming.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Oh, no, he's not coming on. We were trying to get Isaac Weissip on the show because he's actually in town. Well, he's not in town anymore, so there goes the whole problem. Because he was at Ninjas are Butterflies.

[Top Lobster]

We actually. You actually went over there, but you didn't get to talk to them. What, so we should go over there and talk to them specifically? I. I'm no interest in being on your show, but being like, hey, if you have a guest, here's my number, give us a heads up.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

If it would have been a perfect opportunity before that we were trying to plan, but, hey, what are you gonna do?

[Matthew Hepner]

But you don't think they'd be like, oh, who are you guys? Like, we're big dogs.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Yeah. Yeah, exactly.

[Top Lobster]

So let us get some of your runo. What do they call that? Trickle down podcast to nomics Pre come. No.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Oh, this is. We're on straight five, God. Okay. Hey, so, guys, we're gonna start off Ronald Reagan policy.

[Top Lobster]

David. No,

[Matthew Hepner]

economics.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

You know what I'm talking about. The old chinnerooni, huh?

[Top Lobster]

Yeah.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

God says. Something I never hear anybody talk about is the actual relationship between God and Earth. There are multiple verses where it is as though the earth is in communication with God. Genesis 4:10, Job 31, 38, Luke 19:40. There's a bunch more. But it's as if the ground under our feet is under the same jurisdiction of being a creator of God. A creation, rather. I'm sorry, a creation of God. Under the same jurisdiction as being a creation of God and even has sentience, which it uses to communicate with God. If a stone can cry out to God, should we be viewing all creation and not just sentience, with a different kind of reverence? Love all the work you guys do. First time ever subbing to a Patreon. Much love to Matt.

[Matthew Hepner]

Is this what we're doing on this show? Is that like, we're in the show right now?

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Like, this is what we're doing, Matt, with Five T's. Thank you for that. Spiffy and the crew. What? We're just the crew. Holy wow.

[Matthew Hepner]

If you thought the visual thing was going to make him mad, now he'.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Oh my God. All right.

[Matthew Hepner]

The artwork for Straight Bible on the YouTube page is the Earth opening its mouth and swallowing up Koro.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Oh, maybe we can show that in

[Matthew Hepner]

unison with God, obviously, right?

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Yeah, that's it. Cool.

[Matthew Hepner]

But I mean, like, the Earth, I don't think the Earth has a will of its own. Right.

[Top Lobster]

The Earth obeys God, right?

[Matthew Hepner]

Yeah. Like it, like it doesn't have an option to.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

No, but it is. It's sentient. Is. Is. And, And I guess what, what they're getting, what Spiffy is getting at is does it change or should it change? And I. I think we already know the answer to this. The reverence with which we treat creation because it goes from just being this non sentient kind of object. Right. To something that has a. A form of intelligence. Not only a form of intelligence. Here we go. You can see that's the face he chose to make. That's a good face. So it's not just a form of intelligence, but it's specifically that

[Matthew Hepner]

you only have the bottom. The top is the Earth. You can kind of see it at the very top. Left with the teeth.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Yeah, yeah.

[Matthew Hepner]

Right here it's. That's the Earth opening up and swallowing Cora. But yeah, I mean, the. So that, that's the wild thing about Adam.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

He did a.

[Matthew Hepner]

He did a thing that the entire creation came under the curse of. Right. He was responsible and had dominion over everything. So the Earth, everything. Damn God cursed everything. God because of Adam.

[Top Lobster]

Sure.

[Matthew Hepner]

He cursed the Shining One, whatever you want to call him, the serpent, directly. But he didn't curse Adam directly, but he cursed the ground and the whole creation because of him. Then it said the earth started to bring forth thorns and thistles, poison ivy. You know what I'm saying? Stuff like this here.

[Top Lobster]

I have a better picture of it.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

I wonder.

[Matthew Hepner]

But yeah, the Earth, like, if you think about the earth, dude, like the earth swallow. We have an agreement with the earth.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Big hungry earth.

[Matthew Hepner]

We put seeds in the ground and the earth brings it forth. Brings a plant forth.

[Top Lobster]

So I wonder if it likes us, though. Like if they know. Like the earth knows. Like, damn, yo, we're cursed because of you.

[Matthew Hepner]

Yeah, yeah, it says that. And there's a Romans passage where it says the whole creation's waiting, groaning for the manifestation of the sons of God. The whole creation is like, can you guys like we can't do anything. Deer and chickens can't do anything. Like, the earth can't do anything, bro. They're all like, hey, can you guys get your act together and, like, get this thing going? Because as soon as you guys, like, bring this forth, like, the whole creation is groaning, waiting for the manifestation of the sons of God to come out from under the curse.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

I wonder what sorts of things talking animals.

[Matthew Hepner]

Probably all kinds of stuff.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

I mean, people love the talking animals and Jehovah's Witnesses. That's one of the things they. They tell them all the time is the idea of, like, yeah, once. You know, once, I guess, the millennial kingdom is established.

[Top Lobster]

Oh, the animals will be talking.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

The animals gonna be talking. And that's kind of how they. I don't know. That's one of their main focal points, is my understanding. Or at least that's what my wife says when. When she was younger, it was always this focus on, like. And you're gonna be able to talk to lions and stuff. Lions and bears are gonna chat it up with you, and it's gonna be super cool.

[Top Lobster]

Yeah.

[Matthew Hepner]

The most rad thing is communicating with God. But still, that's going to be rad to talk, like, Daniel and Elijah talk to lions.

[Top Lobster]

We get to talk to monkeys, and all we get is jive turkey dog.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

I don't like you talking about Nick.

[Matthew Hepner]

That was kind of.

[Top Lobster]

I'm just saying we should really.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

We're on the straight Bible, man. Unbelievable. All right, well, I hope that answers that question.

[Top Lobster]

That was a banger, though.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

That was pretty good.

[Matthew Hepner]

We didn't even pull up any of the passages that she brought up.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Okay, Job, 31, 38, and Luke. So if you want to bring up Genesis, I'll bring up Job. Do you have any idea what they're going to be referencing when we bring up Genesis?

[Matthew Hepner]

Well, I think that Genesis 4 is, the Earth cried out. Does his blood cried out.

[Top Lobster]

What has now done? The voice of thy brother Crieth out for me from under the ground.

[Matthew Hepner]

Yeah, but that's the blood that cried out.

[Top Lobster]

Oh, the blood cried out, voice.

[Matthew Hepner]

Your brother's blood cried out to me from the ground.

[Top Lobster]

And now art thou curse from the earth, which hath opened her mouth to receive thy brother's blood from my hand.

[Matthew Hepner]

Yeah. Gross. Yeah. So the Earth is alive. Yeah.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Oh, this is interesting.

[Matthew Hepner]

They're bringing up relevant points, man. Nlt that's easy reading. Yeah.

[Top Lobster]

Oh, the Earth. The Earth must have been like, yo, like, this tastes.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Hey.

[Matthew Hepner]

Crazy.

[Top Lobster]

First time I've had human blood.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

It Tastes like pineapple. Hawaiian Punch.

[Matthew Hepner]

No, I don't think the earth said that.

[Top Lobster]

Yo, this is like crack, dog.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

So in. In Job 31:38, it says, if my land accuses me and all its furrows cry out together. Or if I have stolen its crops. Its crops. My land's crops. Or murdered its owners, then let thistles grow on that land instead of wheat and weeds instead of barley. Job's words are ended. So that's interesting. Yeah. If my land accuses me and all of its furrows cry out together. That's. That's a fascinating idea. That the land could accuse you of doing it wrong. Yeah, you done did it wrong.

[Top Lobster]

Yeah, you're a keeper. You're a tender to your land.

[Matthew Hepner]

Yeah, there's a lot. Like they said, there's a lot of passages that, like the. The earth will cry out. Yeah, that's it.

[Top Lobster]

That's it.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Well, there was one more. Let's see. Luke 19:40. Do you want to bring that one up top?

[Top Lobster]

Yeah, yeah.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Luke 19:40.

[Matthew Hepner]

Even the land itself is just like witnessing against the sin of the people.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Yeah.

[Matthew Hepner]

Or that the land will spew you out. There's other places where it says that the land will spew you out.

[Top Lobster]

And he answered and sent it to them. I tell you that if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out. What's he talking about?

[Matthew Hepner]

Well, don't they say that. What's your thing again? When you play the frequency, don't rocks have like frequency? Don't they have a. Oh, like everything

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

has like a vibrational frequency.

[Top Lobster]

Yeah, yeah, that's what that's like. Makes it solid.

[Matthew Hepner]

Let me see what this passage is. There's something that says that the earth will spew the out.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

That's interesting. Like, you ever see when people play mushrooms, they plug in little like electrical nodes into mushrooms and they can extract from it some sort of almost like a melody. I don't know if it's a melody necessarily, but they're making noise. You can't perceive it. But if you can tap into it, like the same way you would plug a quarter inch jack into a amp. Yeah, they plug them into.

[Top Lobster]

Oh, hey, let's see. Let's check it out.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Yeah, and they Making music, dog. Oh, look.

[Top Lobster]

No, that's not true.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

That can't be true.

[Top Lobster]

That's true.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Why do they do this?

[Top Lobster]

It's kind of cool. I don't think it's true.

[Matthew Hepner]

It's gotta be true. Otherwise it wouldn't be on the Internet. Mycelium is Wild, dude. It's like a.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

You ever eat a bunch of it?

[Top Lobster]

By popular demand, we have more mushrooms to listen to.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Using Plant Wave to clarify.

[Top Lobster]

Mushrooms are not plants. Mushrooms are their own type of being.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Luckily for us, actually works with mushrooms as well.

[Top Lobster]

So I'm gonna connect here and we're gonna listen. And you might notice this sounds a lot different from the one that we

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

listen to in Hawaii.

[Top Lobster]

There's. Now, there's no way that's real. But what is interesting is I like, tops.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Like, so that's not true, but.

[Top Lobster]

So that's all. And they got a half a million views on it. No, but what is interesting is that there is, like, a frequency that's given off by us. So, like, if I'm playing. Not this. I bought a guitar on today, but I have another one that has, like, humbuckers on, and I'm getting humbuckers.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

That's a fun word.

[Matthew Hepner]

Humbuckers sounds inappropriate.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

That sounds like a slur.

[Top Lobster]

It should be.

[Matthew Hepner]

What is that passage like, the land will spew you out because of your sin. There's something to that extent.

[Top Lobster]

These humbuckers are supposed to eliminate hum, but they're picking up a hum. And I was like. For the longest time, I was thinking about. I was like, is it the speaker? Is it the system? Is it the humbucker? I got it rewired and re soldered, and it's like, no, no, it's still a hum. It was me. Oh, it's picking up on my frequency, but it'll also pick if I'm like,

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

what does it pick up? Like, steel drums. Like island music,

[Matthew Hepner]

The Somalian national anthem.

[Top Lobster]

Something about mangoes. I was thinking about, like, putting one of those rife blankets between me and it to see if it'll stop it.

[Matthew Hepner]

But Nancy read the chat. Let's go. It's a super chat.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Oh, Nancy song.

[Top Lobster]

She needs a song.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

All right, go ahead, do this. Do the thing for Nancy.

[Top Lobster]

Yeah.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Which one? It could be the gong. Or

[Top Lobster]

she should read it.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

She's gonna read it now. She.

[Matthew Hepner]

I'm not.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

We could wait.

[Matthew Hepner]

No, Nancy. She takes forever.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Nancy. F.J. fool says mushrooms are still better composers than Vince. Why does she do. Thank you, Vince. Thank you, Nancy.

[Top Lobster]

Nancy.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Thank you, Nancy.

[Top Lobster]

That's Vince's one thing that he's got. I forgot that Vince existed. We've been having so much fun the last two days.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

It's been crazy. And Vince has gotten left in the dust. He was our plaything for a little bit, but, you know, cooler toys have.

[Matthew Hepner]

What was the Thing he did yesterday. That was cool. Oh, that guy pulled the gun out.

[Top Lobster]

No, no, that was a. That was over the weekend. That wasn't even yesterday. He's got to do more cool.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

He does have to do more cool stuff. Okay, so going on to the next question on. On Patreon, definitely death squads Patreon. It's no Hardy Ari. I didn't know we got some browns in here, huh? For Matt with three T's. Thank you.

[Top Lobster]

On our Patreon.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Yes. Dude.

[Matthew Hepner]

No, they're only used to the Q.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Why is anybody asking it? How come there's no questions for top or for me? Must have forgot my name.

[Matthew Hepner]

No, they're only used to the straight Bible Q A, so they probably thought that's what this is. This.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Can you read?

[Matthew Hepner]

It's just.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Hold on a second.

[Top Lobster]

It's. Why.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Shout out to Scott, who just crushed in a job interview.

[Top Lobster]

Let' Unemployed Scott.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Unemployed Scott. Well, he's about to be employed and. And gainfully so. Okay, so no Hardy Ari says format.

[Top Lobster]

I don't like Scott.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

And look, guys, when you ask questions of Matt, the more tease, the better. Where did you have those ears installed? It must be way easier hearing God with those. Did you pass the blessing on to your kids?

[Matthew Hepner]

You know what they say, big ears, big brain.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

So I don't know. I don't think. I never noticed that your kids have ears like you.

[Matthew Hepner]

They don't.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

They don't.

[Matthew Hepner]

They got Jess's looks. By the grace of God.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Yeah.

[Top Lobster]

He looked at me and he's like, I gotta. I got a bone to pick with you, man. Everything's been going great with all the shows and all this stuff, but, like, I'll never forgive you when you had me install these in ear monitors upside down. And I was like. He's like, I know you did it just so that my ears can stick up. But we had them upside down.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Yeah, we had them upside down, too.

[Top Lobster]

So that was my bad.

[Matthew Hepner]

It made mine extra wide, though. And that was the day where the Raven was like that. I never realized how big your ears were. That was the day.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

No, dude, that's every day. Every day.

[Top Lobster]

Look at them right now.

[Matthew Hepner]

No, but that shot them out because they were backwards.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

No, these are backwards.

[Matthew Hepner]

And shot them out even more.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

They are just. You got them flappers. My guy.

[Matthew Hepner]

All right with that.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

That's the sound of you flapping your way into a room. Thank you. No Harde Keith Deshain. I'm just doxing everybody, huh? I guess. Is that okay?

[Top Lobster]

Yeah.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Says. Please explain the Trinity. Geez, here we are again. How Jesus prayed to Hume. Jesus ascended to a higher position. God loved the world so much that he gave his only begotten son. God loved the world so much that he gave himself. Question mark. Thanks. So this is the, this is something. And you guys are going to be able to speak to this better than I can. But so far, the idea that, you know, in Genesis it says in the beginning, you know, God used the Word and, and God was the Word and, and all there's like a whole bunch of crazy where it's like God used the Word to create the universe, but God also is the Word and then Jesus Christ is the Word made flesh. So I don't know.

[Matthew Hepner]

It's not super complicated to me, but I get it that it's not. It is super complicated because I don't know why you start quoting stuff.

[Top Lobster]

It's just a little.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Yeah, well, I'm not, I'm not going

[Matthew Hepner]

to pretend, John, where it says in the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God, and where it's talking about the Word, it's referring to Jesus. But like, the God being is made up of three persons. That the Bible makes that clear.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Okay.

[Matthew Hepner]

The. The God being is made up of three persons. Where the problem comes in is we don't have a grid for that, but the Bible's clear of that. The. The Godhead is made up of the Father, Jesus and the Holy Spirit because whoever asked the question left out the Holy Spirit.

[Top Lobster]

But we're made up of three as well.

[Matthew Hepner]

We read it today in 1 Thessalonians 5. We're made of spirit, soul and body. And that's where a lot of people say that man was created in the image and likeness of God. That's what it speaks of. Is that the same way man is made of spirit, soul and body, the God being is made of the Father, Jesus and the Holy Spirit.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

So that's kind of interesting because if you had somebody from the outside looking in and you're like, human beings, and they're like, yeah, go on. And they're like human beings are. Are actually three se. Separate things, but they're one thing. You could easily go like, what?

[Matthew Hepner]

Right.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

What are you talking about?

[Matthew Hepner]

Right, right. So that's what I'm saying. It's not, it's not complicated. The way the Bible explains it explains it like that. But for our understanding of that is where the problem comes in. Like, what. How is that even possible? But you have 23. Yeah, you have These store. You have these.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

What's that say? And, and the very God of peace sanctify you holy, and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body. Okay. Be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord.

[Matthew Hepner]

Even your body and your soul can be preserved blameless, not just your spirit. I mean, it's wild, dude. It's. It's wild what we are potentially capable of.

[Top Lobster]

Wait, so you're saying that we're like three in one, but, like, something else can't be.

[Matthew Hepner]

What?

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Well, yeah, I mean, I guess that would be the, the fundamental question. It's like, would you agree that, that human beings are three in one then? And if you could say yes to that, then, like, okay, so there's. I have no problem. If you can comprehend that, then I have no problem comprehending that God is.

[Matthew Hepner]

Yeah, but we're, I mean, at the end of the day, though, we're. We're one person. That's where the complication comes in. Like, we're a human being is one person.

[Top Lobster]

So we're like three things.

[Matthew Hepner]

The God being is three persons. So they're. It's not like an egg where it's one thing.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

They're independent.

[Matthew Hepner]

Yeah, yeah.

[Top Lobster]

Independently operating isn't like your body is struggling against your spirit.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

I mean, you out there in the

[Top Lobster]

astral realm, maybe, but you are the same. You're the same thing. It's just your body wants to do this.

[Matthew Hepner]

Yeah. I guess it's localized, though. It's in one spot. Whereas, like, the baptism of Jesus, you have Jesus in the water. You have the voice of the Father from heaven saying, this is my beloved Son in whom I'm well pleased. And you have the Holy Spirit descending as a dove, landing. So you have all three. Yeah. Separate.

[Top Lobster]

I just find it. I, I, and I don't, I don't want to, like, like, kick the nest of people who don't understand that. But, like, if you do understand this part, the people go, I don't understand the Trinity. You understand that part? And, and then we're gonna go, okay, the creator of all this can't perfectly control those three entities. Like those three of, of himself. You know what I'm saying? Like, yeah, they operate independently, and they're even talking to each other, like, within the same space.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

But they're in, they're independent.

[Matthew Hepner]

But it's never like, Jesus is like, I want Taco Bell. And the Holy Spirit's like, no, I want kfc. Sure. Like, it's never like that.

[Top Lobster]

Right.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

They actually have kfc. That's kind of like crazy.

[Top Lobster]

That's the Holy Trinity.

[Matthew Hepner]

Okay, so it can never be like1 wants KFC1 once Taco Bell and one wants Pizza Hut.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

I want a comment.

[Matthew Hepner]

I don't know, I just don't like this conversation. Gets like riled up and people are upset about it.

[Top Lobster]

So guys, if you're confused is what we're talking about. It's like a Pizza Hut inside of a Taco Bell inside of a kfc.

[Matthew Hepner]

Yeah.

[Top Lobster]

Exists.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

You can have all, all three and

[Top Lobster]

they could also operate independently.

[Matthew Hepner]

Well, that's actually not a bad analogy

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

when you say that human beings like we, we are one thing though. It's like there are times when we're not. You have people that are astral projecting. Right. Or like remote viewing and whether or not that's some sort of a.

[Matthew Hepner]

Supposed to be on the show right now. And clearly that's what she's doing.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

She's doing. Well, that's the other thing. Right. A dream realm where like you're having meaningful experiences and your body is clearly not involved at all.

[Matthew Hepner]

All.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Or when you die. Some people experience a near death experience and they can be above their own body looking at themselves and let's say like an operating table. Clearly there's a separation there. You're observing your physical body. Yeah. So I guess, yeah. In order to be in this state we have to be jammed up into one.

[Matthew Hepner]

Don't let anybody tell you that. She said. I think it's because some people claim you can't be a Christian.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

That's gay.

[Matthew Hepner]

No, I mean who does get it? I'm trying to explain what the Bible says.

[Top Lobster]

What's not to get, Sparrow? It's like a KFC next to a

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Taco Bell inside of a Pizza Hut.

[Matthew Hepner]

I mean it's like other people explain. It's like the Kool Aid man. Like the Kool Aid man is the glass. He's the pitcher. Sure, but he's the ice and he's the koolaid.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Is he the pineapple too?

[Matthew Hepner]

And he's like, oh yeah,

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

separate.

[Matthew Hepner]

The Kool Aid could be separate. The glass could be separate. But it's like the Kool Aid but

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

black people will still buy a pallet of it and, and sell it for exorbitant market.

[Matthew Hepner]

As long as they can be separate and be one.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

You know what I mean?

[Matthew Hepner]

It's just Amen. It's complicated. You know, at the end of the day, like did the ants, I know we said this before. Did the ants in my driveway fully comprehend me? No. So like Multiply that times a billion. That's like us trying to fully comprehend God.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

I hope we cleared that up. So blah, blah, blap says. Who in your opinion was the young man who had his linen garment snatched and ran away naked when Jesus was arrested in Gethis, Maine? Gethsemane gets the main Gucci, Maine. And you got the passage. Just read that last night and was interested in the significance.

[Matthew Hepner]

I think it's in Mark. I think it is Mark, because I think he's the writer. I think it's in Mark. When Jesus was arrested at the end of March, who was the kid? It's got to be at the end because it's when I'll find it. All right, it's probably around like 14.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Who, in your opinion was the young man?

[Matthew Hepner]

And they all forsook him and fled. Yeah, it's 14. 50. And they all forsook him and fled. 51. And there followed him a certain young man having a linen cloth cast about his naked body. And the young men laid hold on him and he left the linen cloth and fled from them naked, ass naked. And that's not the only naked passage, though. There's an interesting one about Peter.

[Top Lobster]

Yeah, People. People don't like this because they go, wait, if Jesus was next to naked kid.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Oh, yeah, dude, you'd be surprised.

[Matthew Hepner]

Not surprised anymore, dude. Like, like all the stuff now, the way stories get mangled.

[Top Lobster]

This is what people are. This is what this guy's asking somebody.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

No, he's just said, who's the kid? Who do you think?

[Matthew Hepner]

Okay, so where is this at? Taking place in a garden. Right. And so somebody has a house right next to the garden. I don't know. Imagine a guy came out from a shower and he's got like his robe on or whatever the clothes was of that day. Then he's trying to get away too. And then they grab them and his clothes come off.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Well, there's also this idea that it's

[Matthew Hepner]

a towel or some kind of linen wrapping.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

So. So that is in the story for a couple of reasons. It sounds like. One is to show you, like, how dire the circumstances were. Like he ran away naked. That's how Realist was. Like, he's not.

[Matthew Hepner]

Yes.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

He doesn't care that he's ass naked. He's running away from this entire experience. The other thing is there's a. There's a translation issue where the, the terminology that's used to describe him is misconstrued as kid, but it's more like young man. Is that the case do you know if that's the case?

[Matthew Hepner]

Yeah, I think so. I think there's that too. But I. I don't know. At the end of the day, if I had to guess who it was, it's probably the writer. It's probably Mark.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Oh, that's interesting. Yeah. So. So people will use that to be like, oh, Jesus was doing some pedophile.

[Matthew Hepner]

Well, good luck at the judgment scene.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Yeah. I had a guy come to me and he's like in my DM saying, like, dude, I really think this is like, a stumbling block for me. And I was so like, I'm, you know, wrong person to come to, especially at this time, because I was so not prepared to answer that question. Like, I'm not somebody you're gonna come to and ask scriptural questions. So I'm just like, yeah, man. But I'm not going to trip over this because that would be such an outlying incident. So you have the entire character of Jesus that you're. You're being familiarized with throughout scripture. And then this one thing just doesn't fit, right? And it doesn't fit because it obviously isn't of his character.

[Matthew Hepner]

Look how easy it is to mangle scripture, man.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Yeah.

[Matthew Hepner]

Okay, watch this. In John 21, starting in verse one, after these things, Jesus. Jesus showed himself again to the disciples at the sea of Tiberius. And on this wise showed himself. There were together Simon Peter, Thomas called Didymus, Nathaniel of Canaan, Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee. That's James and John, two other disciples. So there's seven. My God, Simon Peter said to them, I go a fishing. I like that. They say in him, we'll go with you. They went forth and entered into a ship immediately. And that night they caught nothing. But when the morning was not. These are professional fishermen. Not. It's not just like a me and you go on a fishing trip. These are professionals. But when the morning was now coming.

[Top Lobster]

Catch it.

[Matthew Hepner]

Jesus stood on the shore. But the disciples knew not that it was Jesus. This is after the resurrection. Then Jesus saith unto them, children, have you any meat? They answered him, no. And he said, cast the net on the right side of the ship and you shall find. They cast, therefore. And now they were not able to draw it for the multitude of fishes. Multitude. Therefore, that disciple whom Jesus loved, that's John, saith unto Peter, it's the Lord. Isn't that wild? So he. So somebody on the shore goes, once you cast off these guys.

[Top Lobster]

These guys really do suck. He's like that disciple that. That Jesus Loved me. Yeah.

[Matthew Hepner]

No, that's a great identity. It's not. It's not that, like, oh, I'm somebody important because I love him. It's like. It's shocking that he loves me.

[Top Lobster]

Who are the ones? I mean, they're all. They're always, like, fumbling over themselves.

[Matthew Hepner]

What do you mean?

[Top Lobster]

About, like, who's the greatest?

[Matthew Hepner]

John writes that of himself, dude. Like, that's a wild thing too, man. I don't think the other guys write it about him, but he writes it of himself. Yeah, they do that, dude. They write the bad things about themselves. Or when somebody else does something bad, they'll just say, you know, it was at such and such house. But they won't. They won't call the dude out, but to themselves, they'll say, yeah, I did this bad. Like, John puts himself on blast, dude. Like, when he tries to call fire out of heaven, God, Jesus has to say, no, no, dude, you don't know what spirit you're of. Or when John tries to stop another guy preaching the gospel because he's not part of their denomination, Jesus says, no, no, don't stop that guy. Like, John writes that of himself. The other guys don't write that about John. He says it about himself. Okay, but here's what he says. Castanet to the right side. They throw it over. They get so many fish. And then John looks at Peter, he goes, bro, it's the Lord. Now, when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he girt his fisher's coat unto him, for he was naked and did cast himself into the sea. So I don't know. I don't know what that means. You're fishing naked, balls were hanging out. I don't know if it means that or if it's just like, he had just an under.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Just trying to get, like a whole.

[Top Lobster]

What does it mean?

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Like a full body tan.

[Top Lobster]

He gird his fisher's coat. Unto who?

[Matthew Hepner]

Unto him. Unto him. So he put on a coat to swim to shore and. And did cast himself into the sea.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

I love this story.

[Matthew Hepner]

It's like Peter throws his stuff on he cat and he goes swimming. And the other disciples came in a little ship, for they were not far from land. So it's like Peter, like, dives in

[Top Lobster]

and swims ashore, and the boat, like,

[Matthew Hepner]

pulls up at the same time.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Yo, Simon's kind of a freak, dude.

[Matthew Hepner]

Yeah, yeah, But I'm just saying, he's like. He. He was fishing naked.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Well, you know, back in the day, there was this idea of, like, fighting the heroic nude. Are you familiar with that?

[Top Lobster]

Yeah.

[Matthew Hepner]

Fighting the heroic news.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Right. Fighting in the heroic nude is something that was more prevalent during, like, Greek times. But there was this idea of, like, you know, combat and. And fighting completely ass naked.

[Top Lobster]

Fight somebody naked. That's a whole nother.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

That's a real gangster. Like, if you're fighting ass naked, that's like. That's. That's terrifying. If I was ever gonna fight a dude, he was like, dicks out, dog. I'd be like, bro, you're about to beat my ass.

[Top Lobster]

Sword fighting naked.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Sword fighting naked is crazy. So. So I imagine there was some precedent for nudity not being as shocking as it is today, but I still think it's freaky to be on the boat with your homie dick balls out. Yeah. But maybe just try to get a full body 10, you know what I'm saying? Lines can be embarrassing.

[Matthew Hepner]

Yeah, that's true, man. That's why the Europeans. Yeah, yeah, man.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

People are sunning their buttholes.

[Top Lobster]

Yeah. Again, this is. This is like a different time period. I don't know.

[Matthew Hepner]

Yeah.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Wait. For clarification purposes, though, Blabbity blap Blap's question was, who was the young man? I think it's Mark. I think it's Mark.

[Matthew Hepner]

I mean, if I had to guess, I don't know. It doesn't matter.

[Top Lobster]

If they were Jewish, it'd be like, circumcised.

[Matthew Hepner]

Okay, Watch this in Acts 12. And when Herod would have brought him forth the same night, Peter was sleeping between two soldiers bound with two chains. And the keepers before the door kept the prison. And behold, the angel of Lord came upon him. And a light shined in the prison. And he smoked Peter on the side and raised him up, saying, arise up quickly. And his chains fell off from his hands. And the angel said unto him, gird thyself and put on thy sandals.

[Top Lobster]

Come on.

[Matthew Hepner]

Like, he was naked there again, man. And he said unto him, cast your garment about thee and follow me. Like, Peter naked in prison again, dude.

[Top Lobster]

So that's like, wow, now Peter's just never dressed, huh?

[Matthew Hepner]

Yeah.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

What's up with that?

[Matthew Hepner]

Does it just mean he's wearing, like, underpants? Like, I don't.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

And the angel's like, put your pants on, dude. It's time to go.

[Matthew Hepner]

Yeah.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Or is he like, yo, put. Put that thing away, Peter?

[Matthew Hepner]

Yeah, I don't know. It's just weird that that would be a hanging.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

You know what's interesting? Peter is slaying for penis.

[Top Lobster]

Confucius. They never Grapple with a naked man.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

What up, dog? We're trying to make sense of these. Naked or naked Peter the Roc. Oh, no.

[Top Lobster]

Peter is a wild man.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Okay, so I think we answered blappity blap blap's question and then added some additional layers of naked, you know, people in the Bible.

[Top Lobster]

Naked hilarity.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Anchovy apostle says, I was listening to an apologist struggle to explain how they are never exposed to Christ, how those that are never exposed to Christ are supposed to believe in him. He argued anybody could be saved, but could not really back it up. Thoughts? Okay, so this idea of people being saved despite having never been exposed to Christ, and so how are they supposed to therefore believe in Christ?

[Top Lobster]

We talked about that. I think one of those old guys out there asked you that a couple weeks ago. Do you remember that, Matt?

[Matthew Hepner]

What'd he say?

[Top Lobster]

And you told him, I don't know.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

He said, shut up. Get the hell out.

[Matthew Hepner]

You hate when I say I don't know.

[Top Lobster]

Well, he said something like. He's like, you know, my one hold up. Like, I don't. I don't really, like, believe any of this stuff. My one hold up is like, what if somebody's in, like, some kind of, you know, isolated village? And sure, they never heard about Jesus. And so did they just go to heaven or hell? And you're like, I don't know. And then you went and poured coffee or something.

[Matthew Hepner]

Well, maybe I didn't like the guy.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

I don't know.

[Matthew Hepner]

Yeah, maybe there's more to the story. But I normally would go right to the Acts 10 passage where it says, then Peter opened his mouth. Instead of a truth, I perceived that God is no respecter of persons, but in every nation, he that fears him and works righteousness is accepted with him. That's a wild statement, dude.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

So. So he that fears God and works

[Matthew Hepner]

righteousness so on him. Like where Jesus says, any man who hears these sayings of mine and do with them.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

So is that. Is that to say that if you had the. The. In the. In the great realm of hypotheticals, a atheist who still was a good dude, but did not believe in and therefore did not fear God?

[Matthew Hepner]

No, no. Being a good dude. What do they say? Hell will be full of good people. But you have to do finger quotes when you say good, good. Like, God's issue is not how do I put good people in hell. God's issue is how do I get bad people into heaven? Like. Like that's why Jesus came. There's no issue with bad People choosing to follow Satan into hell because hell was created for Satan and his angels. There's no issue there. Let people do what hell's not if they choose. If they choose to go with Satan. God's a gentleman. He says, okay, go ahead. That's not his issue. His issue is how do I get these bad people like Matt into heaven? The only way I can do that is to send Jesus down there. He's a man. There's a man in the Godhead. He's got to pay the penalty. Matt can believe on him through faith and can be part of this. Like. Like that's the only way he can do it. But here's an interesting thing too. In Romans 1, for the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who hold the truth and unrighteousness. Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them. For God hath showed it unto them. For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Okay, unpack that.

[Matthew Hepner]

Because people that live anywhere should be able to look at the creation and go, nah, dog, there's a God.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Amen to that. Yeah, I mean, the more.

[Matthew Hepner]

Doesn't matter.

[Top Lobster]

The more you hear this like a English, the. The easier it is to. To unravel it in your head.

[Matthew Hepner]

It's only been like six or eight months for you listening to it this way. But yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Top Lobster]

I like, I like when he says. What does he say?

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Multitudes. No, no.

[Top Lobster]

When you.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Dead man's bones. Oh, dead man's bones.

[Top Lobster]

Yeah.

[Matthew Hepner]

Y' all are like white caskets. Beautiful outside and inside full of dead man's bones.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Make that a drop. So, so that, that's one of those things, right, where people go like, oh, show me the proof for a God. And you go look around. And it's such a strange thing because it's. It's groans. Self evident, isn't it?

[Top Lobster]

Profound.

[Matthew Hepner]

People say, oh, yeah, I think there's no creator. I think all this came together by chance. I'm saying you don't really believe that because if you did, you'd be sitting on your porch right now, like, waiting to win the lottery. Like waiting for everything in your life to happen, to just explode. I think all this came together by chance. You would be living your life completely different. Dude, nobody walks in a neighborhood.

[Top Lobster]

Thank you, Kenny.

[Matthew Hepner]

Nobody walks in neighborhood.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Dude, say thank you. Oh, hold On a second. Wait, wait, wait, wait. Nancy's got to read it.

[Top Lobster]

Real sorry.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Let. I'll play the music.

[Top Lobster]

I got it.

[Matthew Hepner]

Here. I got this.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

It's all right.

[Matthew Hepner]

It's a Japanese sound.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Yeah, yeah.

[Matthew Hepner]

Like ch.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Nancy, please.

[Top Lobster]

Nancy.

[Matthew Hepner]

Dude, this is a lot.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Thank you for the $5 donation says Nephilim Matt Squad. I don't know that I approve of that, but I do approve of the amount of teas that are in.

[Top Lobster]

That's right. Is that $5 to us or to him?

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

They. Them. It was $5. $1 for each tea.

[Matthew Hepner]

Imagine being in a neighborhood and saying, like, man, look at all these houses. Like, you say you're in a new construction neighborhood. All the houses just got built.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

That's just randomly.

[Matthew Hepner]

Like, this is incredible, man. Can you imagine the day when, like, the frame, like, all the. All the lumber just showed up and just made that wall. And then one day, the sheetrock came here, and then the windows, like, came in, and then, like, the electricity got run to the house, and, man, this is. And then the roof went on. Like, man, evolution is incredible.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

It's kind of remarkable.

[Matthew Hepner]

People be like, you're an idiot. What are you talking about? Like, the creation is a billion times more complex than a neighborhood.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Well, it's. It's. It's definitely a satanic deception and that

[Matthew Hepner]

they'll be held responsible for.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Right? Right. But it's an unbelievable one. Like, imagine being able to convince anybody that it's all.

[Matthew Hepner]

It does sort of feel like that's one of the ones. The demons were like, bro, watch this.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Believe anything. Yeah, y' all were like, little, tiny, like, simulation.

[Matthew Hepner]

You really feel like they, like, those guys get together. They're like, dude, you can't make that up. Like. Like colleges. They're like, okay, so you're telling me that, like, we can get these people to pay 100k, go in debt to send their kids to some institution. They'll tell them God's not real. Yeah, they're bad. They're racist. And it'll have nothing to do with their career, but we'll tell them it's about their career. Like, no, dude, they'd never fall for that.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

I love that.

[Matthew Hepner]

I like that.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

One of them goes like, y. Go off to cartoons.

[Top Lobster]

Dude, the. The unseen realm where the demons reside is just a Jewish writers room.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

That's it.

[Top Lobster]

That's what it is. I. I made this joke.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Writers room is crazy.

[Matthew Hepner]

Tower gang.

[Top Lobster]

It's like, dog. Like, when you look around, if you cry about the circumstances that happening, like, you're Missing it. It's hilarious. I would just like to be able to watch the writer's room, but now they're getting way less creative. Like, they're like aliens. I don't know.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Yeah, it's like, they don't know how to wrap the season up, so they're just doing kind of crazy. Yeah.

[Top Lobster]

What are we doing here? Koolaid.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

I bet you I can get into J.

[Matthew Hepner]

Are you gonna watch that movie?

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Yeah, dude, you're gonna go. Why not?

[Top Lobster]

He's got to work.

[Matthew Hepner]

Are you guys going together?

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Yeah. It's gonna be hold hands the 12th.

[Top Lobster]

Oh, it's on Friday. Oh, we can't go Friday.

[Matthew Hepner]

What?

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Wait, what?

[Top Lobster]

We have two shows Friday.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

I don't know what's going on. I gotta figure out what the hell's going on.

[Top Lobster]

Not you.

[Matthew Hepner]

What?

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

You don't have shows Friday.

[Top Lobster]

We have shows Friday.

[Matthew Hepner]

Whatever.

[Top Lobster]

You want to sit in on Ed Mabry, right? Chat? You want to see Matt with Ed Mabry?

[Matthew Hepner]

I don't want to screw it up, though, Though.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Yeah, I agree.

[Matthew Hepner]

The Raven, like, too many shows. There's a limit with.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

No, it's just like, Ed's my friend, and he's not your friend.

[Top Lobster]

What does that say?

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

What does it say on the board? Stop. Our friends are not your friends.

[Matthew Hepner]

You are literally, like, the absolute big brother dude of all big brothers, man.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

No, I just. Ed's my. My friend, and we want to go

[Top Lobster]

on midnight at Thursday. We can go at midnight. What?

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Oh, my God.

[Matthew Hepner]

Who stays up that way?

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

I can't. Black name in the chat. Okay, so not a bot. Not a bot, says Matt with three T's. Thank you.

[Top Lobster]

What the. I'm sorry.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

I know, dude.

[Matthew Hepner]

You guys set it up like they think this is the Friday Q A. Dude. That's why you. If you set it up like that and didn't make clear this is not the straight Bible.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Very clear. And these people are just pieces of

[Top Lobster]

first slash straight Bible.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Even the description is, like, conspiracy questions, comedy questions, biblical questions ahead of time.

[Matthew Hepner]

I feel like this is a setup, dude.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

No, it's not a setup.

[Matthew Hepner]

The ultimate Big brother hates that.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Okay. All right. So, Matt, a question for you. Christmas. When.

[Top Lobster]

When they. They're just calling names and it's just.

[Matthew Hepner]

See, I thought it was straight Bible Q A.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

No. Yes. Sparrow, come on. Did you read the description?

[Matthew Hepner]

I know, but you guys have never done one of these before.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Sparrow's like, I don. Understand the Trinity. I'm like, you don't even understand the prompt.

[Top Lobster]

This is simpler than understanding the Trinity.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

I'd say it's very simple with this.

[Matthew Hepner]

As much as you talk like you're

[Top Lobster]

not good communicators, David's handing out presents from the Christmas tree.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Communicator. Another one for today at 12:30, we're going live to answer your questions. Drop them in the comments below. If your question is for someone in particular, be sure to say that. Biblical. Biblical, spiritual, conspiracy, comedy and personal.

[Matthew Hepner]

All people like. Like eternity, and that's what they like more.

[Top Lobster]

All right, thumbs down this stuff.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

I don't know. We should ban them. So my question for you, in Straight Bible today, you pressed us to pray and hear God.

[Top Lobster]

That's not. That's not the one. Yes. What was your hardest thing to change?

[Matthew Hepner]

No, don't skip over stuff, dude.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Yeah, don't.

[Top Lobster]

Are you going from the bottom?

[Matthew Hepner]

Raven show. Let him go, dude.

[Top Lobster]

You messed up.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

No, it's not.

[Top Lobster]

It's.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

This is how.

[Top Lobster]

It's. She.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

You can see that. Look, Matt. See, Here it is.

[Matthew Hepner]

Go ahead.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

But here's what I'm reading.

[Top Lobster]

I'm reading it.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

My question for you. In Straight Bible today, you pressed us to hear God. You also encouraged us to compare ourselves to the guys in the Bible close to Jesus instead of comparing us to the world. In terms of examples to follow in the passages you read, it seemed that Ananias and Paul both had literal, audible words from God. It has not been my experience that I've heard God in this way. Do you hear God's audible voice with those ears? How do you hear God? Is it with those ears? Big ears.

[Matthew Hepner]

You cannot even fake it, dude. You can't go.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

But he says. He says, do you hear the audible voice of God?

[Matthew Hepner]

No. Never heard an audible voice. No, but we're talking about communication. I think that's why I said this is about communication. And hearing the voice of God doesn't mean audible. What do you guys call it? Telekinesis or television?

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Telephone.

[Top Lobster]

What do we say?

[Matthew Hepner]

What's it called where you can communicate?

[Top Lobster]

Telepathy.

[Matthew Hepner]

But we're in this. It's a spirit realm thing, so it doesn't have to be through the five senses, but you can communicate with God.

[Top Lobster]

You're.

[Matthew Hepner]

You're very clear. He's very clear with you about what he's guiding you into. Sometimes. Sometimes not super clear, but you know what he's guiding you into and what he's guiding you not into. And your conscience plays a part in that, too. Like Jesus Christ is the light that lights every man that comes into the world. What are you smiling about?

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

You Know what.

[Matthew Hepner]

So that means everybody.

[Top Lobster]

This is just crazy.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

What's. So. You know what, What Mine's like, this is where I think I. I don't hear it. No, I do not hear an audible. But when I pray, I will pray. You know, like if I'm. If I'm in a. In a conversation about, like, repentance for something that I've done or. Or maybe even you do bad stuff. Asking for solutions for something that's like, kind of vexing me. As soon as I say it out loud, the.

[Matthew Hepner]

Yeah.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Solution is there immediately. Yeah.

[Matthew Hepner]

Same with writing.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Yeah, it's there. I mean, absolutely instantaneously. It's not an audible thing, but it's very clear. Like, if I was. If you were to say, I don't know, like, let's say my life is in chaos and I don't know how to start, and you might hear something. Not hear it. But, like, immediately it's like in your immediate area. Start cleaning up your room like that. Yeah, it's. It's. It's a. So in the Bible, oftentimes it's a small still voice, right? That's how it's described when subtle. So. So I wonder if that's maybe what it means. It's not something that I hear.

[Matthew Hepner]

That's why busyness is so destructive to spiritual life, dude.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

That's why you have.

[Matthew Hepner]

Sometimes you see people at church, they go, oh, God told me. And they go on this long, like prophecy or whatever. You're like, I don't think so.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

It's very fast.

[Matthew Hepner]

You're playing Facebook all the time, and you're busy over here and busy doing this and busy doing that. Like, I don't know what. Living that lifestyle. If you can really hear the voice of God, man. Like, it's. It's very subtle. It's a still, small voice.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

It's like a. You got to carve out a time and start.

[Matthew Hepner]

Amen being very true.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

You, like, deliberate in speaking to.

[Matthew Hepner]

Okay, this is what Top's been saying to you, and you've been blowing him off about this. And now you're saying it, though.

[Top Lobster]

What are you talking about?

[Matthew Hepner]

Yeah, that he's got to start going to church. Stop going unbelievable. And he's got to carve out time to read the Bible because he's not reading the Bible.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

I do have to do. Yeah. Or at least audiobook it. But then when I audiobook it, I'm like, this sounds.

[Matthew Hepner]

No, it's spirit to spirit communication. God is looking for those who worship him in spirit and Truth.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Like, I have one audio app, but it's like a black guy that's reading it, and I go, don't like that.

[Matthew Hepner]

I don't like that.

[Top Lobster]

Feel threatened.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Okay, so that was not a bot. Now we're gonna go to some dude. Some dude says, matt, damn it, man.

[Matthew Hepner]

Why didn't you read these ahead of time and only read the ones that

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

would literally just go, okay, what's the hardest thing to change when you followed Jesus? What was the hardest thing to change when you started following Jesus?

[Matthew Hepner]

Drugs. For me, personally. Love of money, Cuss words. Jess was explaining to eight because Aiden just started his job yesterday working in construction.

[Top Lobster]

Oh, yeah.

[Matthew Hepner]

And he's just telling Jess, like, how these conversations are going stuff, and he's like, yeah, the way they talk is every other word is the F word. She's like, yeah. Your dad was like that. Yeah, like, so I'll say the F word and I'll say, you know, cuss words or whatever. But it used to be every sentence. Everything I said, hey, pass me the effing hammer. Like that. You're like, you do that on. In construction. It's not a big deal, right?

[Top Lobster]

Sure.

[Matthew Hepner]

So that was like the big thing that I don't think that I even tried to change, but just that that was the thing where she was like, oh, he. Something happened. Like, something happened. He's different, I don't think. I don't remember trying to change it. I don't know. I had to cut off friends. I had to cut off family. I had to cut off, like, I don't. I don't know. I don't even know where to start, dude. We've got both of our houses foreclosed on. Like, my whole world got turned upside down, dude. It was incredibly violent. Violent. Like when it. Like, when it got real. I don't know, but I would say probably, yeah, drugs. Because drugs was my whole identity. It wasn't just like, oh, I love drugs. It was like, that was my identity since I was 13. Like, I was an athlete. I was like, a good athlete. But then I swapped that identity out for drugs. I was like, yeah, I'm a druggie. Like, that's my main thing. But it's for all of us. It's our identity. We have to. We have to. We have to depart from our old identity. If any man, you know, hates not mother, father, sister, brother in his own life, for my sake, he can't be my disciple. That's identity that he's talking about. Your identity. You identify with your family. Especially in that day. Like, you have to. Your whole identity has to go out the door. Like, whatever it was.

[Top Lobster]

Here's a good point. Carpenter mouth. I wonder if, like.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Oh, like, he's got a lot of wood in his mouth.

[Top Lobster]

No, I just wonder if, like, the people that were working around Jesus were also like that.

[Matthew Hepner]

Right.

[Top Lobster]

Kind of like general. At the time. That's general construction. Sure, it's.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Ask me that.

[Top Lobster]

Like, we say carpenter and you think of a guy whittling. But, like, carpenter is the guy building a staircase.

[Matthew Hepner]

Yeah, building everything.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

That's the guy putting up prefab frames for a house.

[Matthew Hepner]

And you know that carpenters can do everything.

[Top Lobster]

Yeah. So. But they're working. I. I just wonder what. What kind of. Were you. Were you making children's toys or were you making big stuff? Were you doing all. Because if you're making big stuff, you're working around other dudes and it's going to be a little bit.

[Matthew Hepner]

Well, he's raw. He was able to communicate stories to, like, all the normal people of life. So, like, he was. It's not like he wasn't around people that were saying cuss words and stuff or doing drugs or whatever the drugs were in that day, or getting wasted, drinking. It's like he wasn't around all that he knew, all that he saw. I mean, the Pharisees hated him for that because he was at parties or eating and drinking with sinners, which. Everybody loves those passages. Till it shows up in your day, and then you hate it, too. Like, the church people hate that still today, but they'll still quote those passages.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

What about you, Top? Did you have something that was hard to change when you got serious about following Christ? I don't know.

[Top Lobster]

No, because I didn't. I didn't get serious until I was ready to change. So.

[Matthew Hepner]

No, nothing was hard.

[Top Lobster]

No, there was, because I wouldn't do it before. I wouldn't do it before. And then when I decided that I was going to, I had already, like, killed off a lot of that stuff. Does that make any sense?

[Matthew Hepner]

We'll give you a minute to think about it. You go ahead.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

No, I kind of agree with that.

[Matthew Hepner]

What is the thing?

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

I think that. That whatever crap that I had going on, like, it wasn't like.

[Matthew Hepner]

Like a little brother, unwanted.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

No, that's.

[Top Lobster]

That was warranted.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

I. I didn't start killing off things because I made a conscious decision to follow Christ. It was like trying to get rid

[Matthew Hepner]

of that demon that you and your wife and your son saw.

[Top Lobster]

Sure, sure.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

But, like, you Know, like, pulling peckers or smoking a lot of weed were things that, like, I was like, I want to do this.

[Matthew Hepner]

Really?

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Like, I don't want to do that kind of. And that wasn't like, God doesn't like it when I do this. Maybe some part of it was, but it was like, I don't like it when I do this. I don't like the way this feels. I don't like the.

[Matthew Hepner]

You know.

[Top Lobster]

Yeah, it was more like that. That's what it was. But there was always a conscious decision of, like, before. I'm like, I'm gonna embrace this and. And do this, because I know. I always knew what it was. I was. I grew up in the church, and I knew what. What I'm supposed to do, but I'm like, I'm not gonna do that because I don't want to do that right now.

[Matthew Hepner]

So you're saying you didn't really have to fight against it. You lost the desire to do that stuff?

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Well, yeah, it kind of grew, like. Well, for me, it grew that way

[Top Lobster]

when I was ready. When I was ready to be like, okay, I'm gonna do this now. Then I started doing it, and then there were things like, yeah, like, the smoking. Smoking weed was like. I was like, oh, that's the thing that I'm doing. And I'm like, I didn't realize that I don't like. It's not that. That good.

[Matthew Hepner]

I think you might be.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Guys.

[Matthew Hepner]

You guys might be tiptoeing around Psalm 37. 4. Delight thyself in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart. So some. Some people think that means, oh, I desire a mansion, so I'll get a mansion. But other people read it like, no, no, he'll change the desire. He'll change the things you desire. So delight yourself in the Lord you no longer desire. Pecker, Poland and weed smoking. Whatever he said, you know, you no longer desire. It wasn't to have a ton of money. You have a whole new set of desires, man.

[Top Lobster]

So, like, the weed. The weed smoking thing wasn't something that, like, I ever really wanted. It was something I did sometimes.

[Matthew Hepner]

And then, like, all you knew. It's just kind of all you knew, right?

[Top Lobster]

I just do. It's a thing that you do occasionally because it was like, oh, this is fun to do. But then as I'm, like, in it,

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

I said, oh, no, I decided that

[Top Lobster]

I'm gonna do this thing, and. And I'm still doing that. And then it wasn't like, oh, it's pulling away from me. I was just like. I just thought, stop it. I was like, okay, stop that. And then I stopped. So it was. It wasn't hard for me. I think the harder things. The hardest thing for me was the submission. That's really the only. The hardest thing of doing this. And. And if I'm not. If I'm not going to submit, then I'm not going to say that I'm doing this. Simple.

[Matthew Hepner]

What was the question again?

[Top Lobster]

What was the hardest thing.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Hardest thing to change when you started following Jesus?

[Matthew Hepner]

Yeah. So we're like. We're all still in the middle of it.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Oh, sure. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Top Lobster]

It's just. But it's just a lot easier because, like. Like, there was a step where I wouldn't have even started, if that makes sense. I'm still in the church or I'm still a Christian, but I wouldn't be doing any of the things that I'm doing now because I consciously said. I even said it out loud. I said, I absolutely will not do this. I'm not gonna do this ever. This is. This is done.

[Matthew Hepner]

Okay.

[Top Lobster]

You know what I'm saying? But then I decided, okay, let me rethink that. And then I decided to pursue following God again. $5 from.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

I'll play the. I'll play the sound real quick. Nancy could read this.

[Top Lobster]

Oh, no, go ahead. Nancy.

[Matthew Hepner]

Does this.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Let me just.

[Top Lobster]

Nancy, we're calling you through the.

[Matthew Hepner]

She could care less, dude.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Okay. Nancy is not gonna read it. So my Asian voice, my Michael Robertson. Can you bring a schizophrenic homeless person over the street to read a 23?

[Top Lobster]

Sounds like a bad idea to him. Live as.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

There's a guy, by the way, he's. He's. Now, I swear to God, this guy's, like, on a collision course for my life. It's the swastika homeless guy.

[Top Lobster]

He's getting closer.

[Matthew Hepner]

You. You and that guy.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Well, now he's over here,

[Matthew Hepner]

clearly creeping in on me.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

I feel like I just want to say we're not gonna do that.

[Top Lobster]

We're not gonna do that. That's a recipe for disaster.

[Matthew Hepner]

I know, but you were supposed to read it. Chun Li voice.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Yeah.

[Matthew Hepner]

Honda voice.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Yeah, I understand what you're saying.

[Top Lobster]

You understand what I'm saying? I feel like his Matt's looking at me all crazy.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Yeah.

[Matthew Hepner]

All up about it.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Just like the Nazi tops answer.

[Top Lobster]

Yeah.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

No, my answer.

[Matthew Hepner]

What's wrong with your answer?

[Top Lobster]

I don't know. You looked at me all crazy. I'm just saying.

[Matthew Hepner]

No, you look like you were scrambling a little bit.

[Top Lobster]

No, it just wasn't hard because it took a long time. And then when I decided that I'm gonna do it, it. I had already decided all the other things that would be hard for people,

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

I guess because in contrast, it's this idea of like, you. You come to Christ and you go, these things need to die in me. And then you like kneel down and you say, I'm not going to do these things like that.

[Top Lobster]

I was asked a long time ago be like, all those things have to die if you're going to do this. And I said no 15 years ago.

[Matthew Hepner]

I don't think I. Yeah, I don't think I had that. I think I was just like. Got a Bible?

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Well, some people do from the outside. They think like, that's what it looks like. Like. Like you kneel down and you go,

[Top Lobster]

that's not satisfied with my answer. That's what it was.

[Matthew Hepner]

No, that's what they're. They're just repeating you. They're not saying they agree.

[Top Lobster]

Make a. Make up a better story.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

I do think that you don't know

[Top Lobster]

how I got these scars.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

My. So. So making a conscious decision to orient towards Christ and to try to like be a servant. Right? Like that's Orient.

[Matthew Hepner]

Nancy.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Hey, don't. That's not nice. I think was the thing because I. I had had flirted with. Stop. I was never like into like any kind of crazy drugs, but I did. I was really bad with weed. About as bad as you can get with weed. Like eight, nine blunts a day. Like some sort of psychopath. And. And it was something that I could like pull myself away from for a time.

[Matthew Hepner]

Rich, you are. That's like so expensive.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

I mean, it's weed. It's so. So I could pull myself away from it for a time and I would have a long spree of like three months, four months. But then I'd always come back to it.

[Top Lobster]

It's got to be like $50 a day at least, right?

[Matthew Hepner]

Yeah, prob. Like that.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Yeah.

[Matthew Hepner]

And he probably sold enough to cover it though.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Well, actually. So where are we today? June 9th. So I just went a year, over a year without smoking and. Nancy, a round of applause maybe. Anything contribution would be. But yeah, so. So that was something. Like it wasn't so much that I gave up these things because of Christ. It was like because of Christ I had the strength to actually. Because I couldn't do it on my own.

[Matthew Hepner]

My own. Amen.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

I couldn't do it on My own. So I was finally able to kick that. And, like, it would. Just before I was ever coming to Christ, it was like I would look at my life and I'm like, man, I'm just smoking, like, sun up to sun down. And then, like, there's times where I do good, and then I'd come back to it. And. And. And I always knew, like, I. I couldn't have it in the house. I couldn't do it at all because it was like a slippery slope. As soon as I started smoking one, it would turn into a ton. I just wrote 23 seconds ago, congratulations. It's not a. Not everybody's got this huge problem with it. You know what I mean? Like, I'm not saying that you have to stop smoking weed because a bad guy thing. I'm saying, like, you know, lots of people can eat sugar and have a normal relationship with it. Not me, so. But I learned that, like, a lot of these things, I can't stop on my own strength because it can only take me so far. But, like, you need to lean on God. You need to give these things up to God.

[Matthew Hepner]

It's like all things, though. It's not like some things. It's like, all things, like, you come to God and then you let him live through you, and he starts burning and cutting those things out. We did a study on that. That it's like, I don't. It's dangerous to be like, oh, I'm a Christian, so I'm gonna do this, this, this, and this. I'm gonna stop doing this, this, this, and this. I think that's dangerous because then we get into our own mind and our own thinking of what we think a Christian is supposed to be, as opposed to just coming to God raw. It's like when the kid out here was like, I can't quit smoking weed. You know, I'm a Christian. I've been in church my whole life, but I can't quit smoking weed. I said, yes, smoke it up.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Do you want to stop?

[Matthew Hepner]

No, I said, smoke it up. Your issue is not smoking weed. Your issue is proximity to God.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

God.

[Top Lobster]

That's the problem. It's like, it was. It. You're asking how hard it was because it's. It's just a thing where I'm not gonna lie and be like, I'm gonna stop doing a thing. And then I know later on, like, I'm gonna fail because I know I want to still do this thing.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

I'm gonna ask if I do, I'm gonna help me It's.

[Top Lobster]

It's. You're being a hypocrite by even being like, yeah, I'm gonna stop.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

And then.

[Top Lobster]

Then you fail. And then you have to look back at yourself later and go like, damn, you're an asshole. Because you said you'd stop and you didn't because you weren't going to stop. You weren't ready. You were just like, I'm gonna keep fighting this until something has to break inside you. And then when that breaks, you go, yeah, yeah, that's it.

[Matthew Hepner]

Yeah, that's God giving you the desires of your heart. I think it's like changing what you desire and what you don't desire.

[Top Lobster]

Yeah. What do you want? What do you want to do? Do you want to do this? There you go.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Keisha Black name says Keisha Berry. What's your definition of. Of worship? Do you think we should, since we've been given it, pray for dominion? Pray for dominion Life situations where we live, etc. Do you tired, man?

[Matthew Hepner]

What's going on?

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Yeah, yeah. You already did, like, a show.

[Top Lobster]

Yeah, what's up?

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Do you think we should, since we've been given it, pray for dominion?

[Matthew Hepner]

Are we boring you a little bit?

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

What's your definition of worship? Do you think we should pray? So I think those are two different questions.

[Top Lobster]

Two different questions?

[Matthew Hepner]

Yeah, but the answer to the first one, we already have that defined music. Music, right. Not. Not just music, but specifically, like, guitars.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Yeah.

[Top Lobster]

Yes.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Smoke machine drums. Hell yeah.

[Matthew Hepner]

Potentially keyboard music.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

If you could wear a fedora and you can speak in tongues, that helps.

[Top Lobster]

Keytar helps a lot.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

What about a sitar?

[Matthew Hepner]

It's gotta be at 10am on Sunday. You can't really do it on other day. Can you imagine people who say, I worship one day a week and it's for like an hour. That's it.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

It.

[Matthew Hepner]

Can you imagine? That's a thing that's. That's like in the 501C3. Today is like, yeah, yeah, I worship. How. How much do you worship God? Like one day a week for like a half hour. That's just so bizarre, man.

[Top Lobster]

Isn't that the same thing as saying,

[Matthew Hepner]

like, prayer is the ultimate form of worship?

[Top Lobster]

That's like being like, yeah, I'm gonna quit weed. And then you do. You only do it a little bit and you don't really quit. It's like, yeah, I'm gonna worship. And I like, I only do it a little bit. It's like, no, no. It's like, are you gonna do it or not? If you're not gonna do it, then. Don't do it.

[Matthew Hepner]

We really gotta answer this question to help people.

[Top Lobster]

What is worship? Worship is. Is what you're aimed at. That's.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

It's.

[Top Lobster]

It's what you find worth in. It's a. It's a nautical term, the worth of your ship. So it's what you find worth in. It's where you aim your intention, where you aim your praise, where you aim everything. And then that goes to sin. When they're talking about aim, if you're not aimed at God, you're sinning. And if you're aimed at God, you're worshiping him. And you were talking in the previous episode that we did on Straight Bible about. About being praying ceaselessly doesn't mean that you're always on your knees and praying and you can't do your job, but your mind is always focused on a thing. What are you doing?

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

You're taking this out? What's the matter?

[Top Lobster]

You giving up?

[Matthew Hepner]

No.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

You throwing a towel in what's going on? Why are you taking your earplugs out?

[Matthew Hepner]

No, I mean, are you looking it up? What is worship?

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

No, I'm not looking.

[Matthew Hepner]

Giving God his rightful place, man. And honoring him in that way.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Because I gotta use the restroom. Crazy. No, I want him to be here for this. So. So let's just. Let's just riff for a little bit and check in and check in with it. We don't have any questions. Nobody asks us any questions. We're on straight by.

[Top Lobster]

Damn it.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

I'm just frustrated, you know, as bad as when. Well, I actually wanted to address this, so.

[Top Lobster]

Ishmael fasting.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

No, no. Mike Roberts said smoking weed is like opening the door and windows up to lust. Gluttony, sloth and. And sloth with one back with wood. Yeah, dude, that's crazy, because I. I agree with that. Smoking weed is like opening the door for all those things, like gluttony. 100. I have a sugar issue. If you think it's real now, wait until I get, you know, I start smoking. Pulling pecker, dude. You're gonna pull pecker. You can smoke weed and pull some pecker, dude. Yeah, 100% sloth. 100%. And it's not that. Some people will say. They'll put up an argument and they'll go, no, weed doesn't make you lazy. Lazy. It's just if you're lazy, weed will exacerbate that. I would push back up against that a little bit, and I would say, no, it totally does. But it also is true. That if you have these proclivities, it will exacerbate that. And those proclivities being anchored in spiritual principles like lust, gluttony, and sloth, that then makes you wonder if it has the ability to amplify a spiritual proclivity, then it is doing something of a spiritual nature to you.

[Top Lobster]

To you. It's. It's an amplification tool. But, like, you're not in control of what you're. You're not in control of yourself. So that's why I'm like, careful with the book. I will say, one of the times, probably the only time that I was on weed or high or whatever, I was on weed, man.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

You ever.

[Top Lobster]

You ever been to your son's birthday party, man, is I social as.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

That's how I would be.

[Top Lobster]

This is before my son was, like, talking. He was having issues talking. Probably before I even knew he was you. And it was his birthday party and they had kids over.

[Matthew Hepner]

He doesn't have a problem talking now.

[Top Lobster]

No, you don't.

[Matthew Hepner]

Shut the.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

He was.

[Top Lobster]

He was having trouble, like, communicating with the kids. And.

[Matthew Hepner]

Yeah.

[Top Lobster]

And he was, like, really sad and he couldn't even really communicate it with me. But I was high at the time, and for some reason, like, it was. It's the only time that I was like, wow, this is actually, like, this is what it's supposed to do. I was able to communicate with him and, like, it was.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

It was just great.

[Top Lobster]

Like, we were like, I understood what he was doing. I communicated with him that it was fine. We played.

[Matthew Hepner]

Yeah.

[Top Lobster]

And then he went out and I was able to, like, he was able to go and play with the other kids. Now he's like, whatever I did there, like, I fully understood you.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

You helped him figure out those.

[Matthew Hepner]

You unlocked it for him.

[Top Lobster]

Yeah, but if I wasn't high, it would be. There would be a block for me.

[Matthew Hepner]

Like.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Yeah, I had a very similar thing where.

[Top Lobster]

Hard to understand him when I was a kid.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

I mean, when I was a kid, when my son was really, really little, I did not want to play 12 toys. I don't like except for the times where I would smoke weed. And then I'd be like, let's play toys, dog. And I'd get the action figure and

[Matthew Hepner]

be like, yeah, taking your dog for a walk is like, on weed.

[Top Lobster]

On weed, man.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Okay, so. So back to this question.

[Top Lobster]

That is true. I don't want to play toys with the kids. They're like, here, you hold this toy. I'm like, ah. But yeah, on weed it's probably serious. Yeah, I'm very serious.

[Matthew Hepner]

The funnest thing, like, doing all the kid stuff, like, you'd be a psychopath if you did it without kids, but it's fun because you do it with. With kids.

[Top Lobster]

The.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

This is Isaiah 26:3, right. So this is the. My idea of worship, and I could be totally wrong. Highly likely, in fact. So Isaiah 26:3 says, Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee because he trusted in thee.

[Top Lobster]

That's it.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

This idea of your mind. Right. So. So in the New Age kind of circles, there's this, you know, principle that is not really far from the mark, and it is where tension goes, energy flows.

[Top Lobster]

Yes.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

So if by the very nature of focusing on a thing, there is an energy exchange, an energetic exchange. If that energetic exchange is worship, then that explains why if you're a Star wars loser or a Marvel nerd, you're effectively worshiping these things. So I would say that worship probably in its fundamental root is. What are you. Just. What is. So. So the Bible tells us to keep God in our thoughts and keep.

[Top Lobster]

You know, worship is the opposite of sin. That's like, the more I think about it, that's what I. That's what I'm realizing is just energy

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

flowing the wrong way.

[Top Lobster]

Yeah, yeah. Sin is attention or at the wrong thing, it's missing the mark. So if the mark is God and you're paying attention to God, you're. You're worshiping him. And it doesn't have to be this way or with the guitar, sing, or technically, it is.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

If you're. If you're thinking about God like, those things. Things do count.

[Top Lobster]

Yeah, sure. Yeah.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

If you're playing music and you're thinking

[Top Lobster]

about God, it's one form or the other. But as you said before in the previous episode, like I said, praying ceaselessly again, it doesn't mean that you're always like, I can't do this right now. I can't podcast because I'm praying. It's like, no, I'm. My mind is oriented towards God, and it's. You know, we're doing a thing where we're kind of. We're. We're always, like, swaying.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

So even. So the show. Yeah, we're locked. Oh, go ahead.

[Top Lobster]

You've got to still be, like, oriented at. And when you're not, you're sinning.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Right.

[Top Lobster]

How much are we sinning? How much did we just sin when we're talking about Kool Aid here? A little bit. Because we're missing the mark. Right. We're not talking directly about God, but like, your best orientation is directly at God. That's worship in whatever form it may take. It's the opposite of sinning.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

So if you're waking up in the morning and your thoughts are on God, just the idea of God or communicating with God like that, that in itself is, Is a form of worship. Right. But if you, if you then go out of your way to amplify that and say, hey, hey, well, let's get alone now in, in the prayer closet. Let's pray. Let's talk to God now. You've amplified it so, you know, you could probably, I, I imagine strengthen that, that energetic flow. But it's, it is that principle. It's what the New age people have, you know, deduced correctly. So where energy goes, or where attention goes, energy flows. But if your attention is on God, that's worship. And then anything else is like icing on the cake.

[Matthew Hepner]

Yeah, it's biblically grounded, what you're saying. It's like when Jesus said, if your eye is single, then your whole body's full of light. If your eye is evil, your whole body's full of evil. He's saying, like, you have to be focused on God. Your eye has to be singly set on God. Everything else is just the details. But, but the thrust of your life, the focus of your life, the gaze of your life is on God. It's just like when Jesus is talking to Nicodemus in John 3, and he says, as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so shall the Son of Man be lifted up.

[Top Lobster]

Up.

[Matthew Hepner]

And so when you go look at that story of Moses lifted the serpent in the wilderness.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

It was.

[Matthew Hepner]

Anyone who looked upon that brazen serpent was saved. It's when the, it's when the fiery serpents were biting them. I don't know if that means dragons, but they're called fiery serpents. Like something was biting them and killing them in huge amounts. I don't. It seems weird if it would be like snakes that were biting them in those huge amounts. Tens of thousands of fire. Thousands. What. Whatever it was, was. But it, but as he set this thing up, that was God's solution, was set this serpent on a pole, lift it up, and anyone who gazes upon it, who looks upon it, who sets their focus upon it, will be saved. Jesus says, yeah, the same with the cross. As Moses lifted the serpent in the wilderness, so shall the Son of Man be lifted up. Anyone who's got their gaze set on Christ got Their focus set on Christ, looking at Christ. Christ is the center of their life, the focus of their life. Those people will be set, saved.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

I'll say something stupid here and it'll expose my lack of understanding of the Bible, but that's not really new. Whose eyes are taken off of Jesus and they therefore fall into the ocean when they're trying to walk on water?

[Matthew Hepner]

I don't know if it's an ocean, but it's Peter, right?

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Right. So he's getting out of the boat.

[Matthew Hepner]

Yeah.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

That's a wild ass story.

[Matthew Hepner]

Because Jesus is walking on water. And Peter, of all the things you could say, he goes, if that's you, call me out to you. That's what he says. I love this dude, Peter, man.

[Top Lobster]

You get naked for that.

[Matthew Hepner]

And Jesus says, all right. Right. Come on. Yeah. And then. Yeah, yeah. And then he's walking and then he sees the wind in the waves. And then he starts to sing.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

That's interesting.

[Matthew Hepner]

And then he says, little Faith, which. Which they say is like a nickname. It's like a one word that. Little Faith.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Little Peter.

[Matthew Hepner]

Yeah, because he was naked.

[Top Lobster]

Little Pecker.

[Matthew Hepner]

Little Pecker Peter. Yeah, that's a great point too. Yeah. Like taking your focus off God and looking at all the bad and all the other stuff and all the problems. Like. Yeah, good luck. Good luck resolving all your problems. Looking at your problems.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

I had a banger on. On Twitter one time and it was like something about, like, off, Boomer, I'm busy rejoicing in the day that the Lord has made. Or off Doomer, I'm busy rejoicing in the day that the Lord has made. Because everybody wants to do this thing, especially on Twitter, where it's like, oh, no, look at the horrors. Look at the despair. We have no chance. The system is broken. Yada, yada, yada. It's like, shut the up. Okay, so watch that all day.

[Top Lobster]

You gotta get on the Hodge twins eventually and talk about them because they just had Beck Glover on, which I like Beck Lover.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

But like, we could just tell our

[Top Lobster]

kind of a black pill. And I was like, black pill?

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

We don't. Yeah, we. We have a. An army of dangerous.

[Top Lobster]

Oh, yeah, we.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

We could send them over to the Hodge twins at any moment and say, hey, request us to be on the show. And they'll have. I mean, literally on. On Sam Tripley's post, it's like 200 plus people being.

[Matthew Hepner]

Did you guys win?

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

They haven't announced it yet.

[Top Lobster]

We've won.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

We definitely.

[Top Lobster]

In our own minds.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

There's no Way we haven't won.

[Top Lobster]

I would disqualify us, though. I feel like. Feel like we've.

[Matthew Hepner]

Are they recounting the votes?

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Like, across all platforms? It's in excess of 500 votes.

[Top Lobster]

Wow.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

500 votes for NDS gonna be a good show. So damn good. We'll see. Shout out to Isaac Weiss if he just DM'd us saying, I think we're going to be Mount Rushmore homie soon. Okay. So Keisha Black name had a second layer of her questions and it was, do you think we should pray for Dominion since we've been given it?

[Matthew Hepner]

I don't. I mean, I don't.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

In other words, like, is it a redundancy to. To pray for Dominion?

[Matthew Hepner]

I'm not really praying for Dominion, but I don't know if that I would. I don't know if I would say nobody else should either.

[Top Lobster]

Laura Baker would be doing that. I just praying on stuff.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Well, you hear people that, that will. So they'll pray in a certain area and in spite of the powers and principalities that are ruling over it, and they'll claim that, like. Yeah, to, you know, in my own jurisdiction, because I have rights to where I am, legal rights. This is like within the, the physical realm. I have contractually binding agreements via my, my rent, lease or whatever to like, be here in this area doing this. But if I cross over to like another county or another state and I just start, like, if you go to India with all those powers and principalities there, sure, we have dominion over the Earth, but can you go and start engaging in spiritual warfare in a place that's ruled over by maybe that's not

[Matthew Hepner]

at all getting into W concepts. Yeah, it's a wild in the script, like, spiritual warfare. Okay, what are we talking about when we start talking about spiritual warfare? But like, yeah, asking for dominion or whatever. I don't, I, I don't. I guess I don't really think about this topic a lot, but I guess I live my life and operate in a way of like, yeah, I'm with the creator of the universe. I'm an ambassador to the, to the king, to the creator of everything. And so with. That carries a certain level of authority and respect. From the unseen Realm. Yeah, from whatever, whoever. Because I'm a representative and an ambassador of that kingdom. Like, I'm like, I'm part of that kingdom. I have citizenship. And so I, I have that regardless of whether I. I don't know. People are like, praying for Dominion and Yeah, I don't know if they're praying, like, in front of people. I think that sounds cool when people say I decree and declare. You know, people, like, start doing crazy, man. I guess that, like, looks cool when you're in front of other people.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

You don't do that. You don't decree and declare.

[Matthew Hepner]

No, it's not really my. My cup of tea. I mean, I do, but I don't say it in that way. I say things like, bro, you're gonna crush at work. Dude, you're doing great. The fact that you got up an hour early today, like, most people come flying into their job at the last minute. Like, you're up an hour early, you're taking your time, you're getting coffee.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Yeah.

[Matthew Hepner]

You've been diligent about getting all your tools. You've been diligent about packing your launch. You're going to do very good at work. You're a very intelligent dude to start with. Like, the school thing wasn't for you, but it wasn't for me either. It wasn't for mom either. Like, Bella crushes in the school game, but the three of us don't. Like, you're gonna do very good. Like, I. I guess that would be what people say. I decree and declare. I just don't say I decree and declare before I say all that. But yeah, I'm very diligent with words. Especially over my children, especially over my wife, especially over my farm, especially over, like, even the animals in my farm. Like, yeah, yeah, declaring over them. I guess maybe you could say, like, we're supposed to be operating in that dominion and not really. I don't know, it just.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

That's one of the things that Ed Mabry says is, like, when you speak a thing, it comes into existence in the spiritual realm, and then over time, it takes place in the. In the physical realm. So spiritual implications of the things that you say and speak in. In the physical realm are almost immediate. But then it takes a while to, like, bleed over. Or I could be kind of screwing

[Matthew Hepner]

up the way decreeing and declaring, I think, is a biblical principle. It's just the way it gets acted out. Just like so many things in the modern 501C3 system is just kind of. Of silly.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Gets gay. So just don't be gay about it. Okay? I mean, honestly, that's a great way to wrap that up. Ishmael Fasting says, is Top really as nasty as he comes off?

[Matthew Hepner]

No.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Or is it for the show? Is it anger for he for he sake or righteous anger? Okay, that's an interesting question.

[Top Lobster]

Am I angry? I guess a little bit. Sometimes you come off. Amen, bro. Yeah. I asked it to make you a black preacher, and it did this instead.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

No. Say make his skin black and give him an Afro. So Top is not net. Like, so on this show, we're bringing up things that, you know you're going to be opinionated on. Like, in regular life, Top's not nasty because what is there to be nasty about? Like, you're driving a car, you're eating some snacks, we're at a restaurant, we're chilling. But if you bring up, like, you've

[Top Lobster]

introduced me in a realm where they're like, okay, have an opinion.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Yeah. What do you think about this extreme thing or that extreme thing in real life?

[Top Lobster]

People will go. They'll go, I think this thing. And I go, cool.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

But don't get it twisted behind the scenes if. If. You know, because the way that Matt defends the state and government of Israel is, you know, I mean, he's got a tenacity about him, and that will bring out Mr. Nasty. So those. Those things will happen. Happen. I'm not doing this, but I'm probably

[Matthew Hepner]

the only person he really get well in you, too? That he actually gets nasty to in real life.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Yeah, yeah, but because we're talking about things that matter, so. So no, if you come. Well, here. Like, let's say if you come here, you're a listener of the show and you go, hey, man, I'm a big fan. Like, no, you're not gonna get Mr. Net. You're not gonna get, like, a weird interaction.

[Matthew Hepner]

And I love Israel. Top is still not going to treat you like you have to be very.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

No, like, when you leave, he's gonna

[Matthew Hepner]

say nasty to you in person. Yeah. Very close to him for that.

[Top Lobster]

Yeah. Otherwise it's all a waste of time, you know?

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Oh, that's.

[Matthew Hepner]

That's true.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

There he is.

[Top Lobster]

There he goes.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Hey, he looks cool black, huh?

[Top Lobster]

He does.

[Matthew Hepner]

I don't look anything like that.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

No, I mean, you really do. That looks like a version of you if you were black.

[Matthew Hepner]

Why does he have that kind of outfit?

[Top Lobster]

I don't like the outfit either, but

[Matthew Hepner]

it's just walked around in outfits like that were separate from just normal life.

[Top Lobster]

It just doesn't seem they made you into, like, a Catholic preacher.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

You think Jesus would wear pandas Dunks. Okay, so, yeah. Yeah, you might, but, yeah. Is it anger for anger's sake or is it righteous anger? I mean, sometimes that's a hard thing to define. What does righteous anger mean? It's a. It's anger about a thing that is polarizing in its nature.

[Top Lobster]

Sometimes I'm just be. I'll just be mad about a thing. But, like, like anybody else, I guess. I don't know.

[Matthew Hepner]

No, but, like, when you're just mad, it's. No, that's not like anybody else. There's not another human on the planet that it's like. So, like, when you come in mad, it's miserable for everybody.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Yeah, yeah. But there's, like, a thing behind it. Like, you ever work on a site with a guy?

[Matthew Hepner]

What is it, though? It's not necessarily thing behind it.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Well, hold on. You ever work on a site with a dude and, like, shit's just not going his way, you know, tools are broken or what, and they just flip out, like, son of a. And they're throwing their hammer. No, no.

[Matthew Hepner]

Oh.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Like, that stuff doesn't happen.

[Matthew Hepner]

Okay.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

And that's a guy that I would be like, that's a angry dude. Like, we've all worked jobs with angry, miserable dudes. And the traffic's this or the pay is this, and it's just bitching and bitching. Like, no, no, no. That's not what happens. But if you go, like, you know, look, man, is there. Israel.

[Matthew Hepner]

Is there a worse thing than when Top's mad at you? Don't you lie?

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Don't you.

[Matthew Hepner]

Like, you're on TV right now?

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Yeah, for sure. There's worse things I have, dude. Okay, So I used to work with a guy, and I think we all know this type of character.

[Top Lobster]

David doesn't care if I'm mad at him.

[Matthew Hepner]

Yeah, he does.

[Top Lobster]

He doesn't care.

[Matthew Hepner]

Worst feeling in the universe when Top has got an attitude and he's like, mad at you.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

No, no. So. So I used to work with a guy. Right.

[Matthew Hepner]

You're not being honest right now.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

No, that's not. Wasn't. I used to work with a dude that would make my workday miserable.

[Matthew Hepner]

I've seen how it affects you.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

And he would show up. He was just a driver for our job. And I. I was young, just a driver. Like, meaning he wasn't even in the building all the time. Like, he was out on the road. And I realized that this is the type of person. What he would do is he would show up and he'd go, you know, you had to load the truck or whatever, and he'd go, come on, let's fucking go. I gotta get out of here. Because if I'm not out of here, the traffic. Oh, everybody's just Standing around. And he. He would pace back and forth and. And he'd be like, where's the paperwork? Did you sign the paperwork? And all he would do. And then when you finally got to talk to him, you go, hey, Ed, what's going on, man? And he go, my wife is doing this.

[Matthew Hepner]

You're saying Top's not like that? I'm. I'm with you.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

There is a type of person.

[Matthew Hepner]

He's not like that.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Well, this is what I. I realized. There's a type of person that in order to spark up conversation, they've realized bitching and moaning is a viable way. If you bitch and moan, moan, the other person has something to. And moan about too. So that way there's some communion in it and we can all have a conversation. But the problem is you get really good at finding to.

[Matthew Hepner]

Those are the people who never get out of it.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Those are terrible people. Yeah, well, that's not what this is.

[Matthew Hepner]

Same people who say they're sick all the time or say they're broke all the time. I would never get out of it.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

I'm not going to relinquish you being Mr. Nasty, but I would say in reality, I'm nasty. That guy is Mr. Nasty.

[Matthew Hepner]

No, I know, but it's random. One day out of 30, when top is in a bad mood, is that what commiserate means?

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Because it has, like, miserable in it?

[Top Lobster]

I don't know. I thought commiserating means like you're.

[Matthew Hepner]

You're chopping it up, not angry at every little thing. It's not like that. Like. Like you're the guy you're explaining on the job site. Not like that. I'm just saying when he's mad, you don't know what it's about. It could be about Israel. It could be about something in the. It's. It's maybe more often than anything else. Israel. But it could be. But it could be just something else. It's never from like, somebody got bottom because nobody gets him.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Like, he's undefeated.

[Matthew Hepner]

Like, if somebody's ever, like, fighting. So it's never that.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

It's never like, drives a lot. And I've been in the car for. With him where he's driving, like, 35 hours. No, no. But he never seems to go. Like, somebody will come up and you go, this guy's about to cut me off. And then he'll get cut off. And he goes. There goes. You know, but like, it's never like, what the.

[Top Lobster]

You're like, oh, yeah, I would. I would, like, yell at A guy, I'm like, That's so foreign to me because that, like, bone doesn't exist in my body.

[Matthew Hepner]

Because you drive 40 miles an hour on the freeway, dude.

[Top Lobster]

Because I drove for a living, though.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

But I.

[Top Lobster]

You have.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

But that guy drove for a living and he was a. I don't. We're on straight Bible.

[Top Lobster]

Sorry. Yeah, I don't know. That's not. Yeah, that. That's not in me. But I do get aggravated with other things. I think I get mad with things that I could. I feel like I can change and that are not changing around me.

[Matthew Hepner]

No, no, you can't change the Israel thing.

[Top Lobster]

I don't care about Israel. I care about what you think about Israel.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Actually, I would say that's accurate.

[Matthew Hepner]

No. Because you'll just come at me some days. Israel, the war. When the war started. You're like, I'm coming at Matt. I'm coming. It's like, I didn't have anything to do with this stuff.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

I' was you, by the way. Commiserating means you did that. Expressing sympathy or sharing sorrow with someone who was experiencing hardship, disappointment. So I.

[Top Lobster]

Actually, it's a little different. That's not. But that's like on Afghan soldier outfit.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

I'd be scared when he's mad.

[Top Lobster]

What. What you described is a guy that wants that. That uses that to always bring it.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

It's a social lubricant. It's a social lubricant. And all he knows how to do now is just.

[Top Lobster]

It's.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

But it's. If it's on. Honestly, you know guys that get stuck in this trap. You ever meet a. My wife, dude. Like, my wife does this, my wife does that. And it's all negative, bro. That's a little bit of an old school thing that kind of died.

[Top Lobster]

Jose Galison. That's why I don't like him.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

That whole thing about, like, bitching about your spouse to somebody is crazy.

[Matthew Hepner]

God doesn't owe you that wife, bro. Like, imagine if you're Adam and you never had a female and you're just watching the animal's bone and stuff and you're just walking around the earth. You never have a female. Female.

[Top Lobster]

I don't mean to say that about Jose, like, in a bad way. I mean to say, like, if you hear that switch, that, like, that's me calling you gay.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Yeah. I don't. Dude, you'll never catch me talking. My wife. Wait. My wife. That. That. I think. Because what I learned when I was a young man is like, she'll smack you it's not just that when you do that, like the other people that you're doing that too, they just have in their mind, mind this picture of your wife that you made. They don't know who she really is. So. So now all of a sudden like they're going around in with this mental image of, of you dating or marrying some.

[Matthew Hepner]

But that's what it really is to curse people, bro. Like if you're somebody who just comes around and says bad things about. You're cursing people. You're just creating. Yeah, you're. You're giving them something to say something bad back so that you can be in agreement. That was one thing me and Jess noticed about like having friends was that sometimes like most of the time friends like neighbors specifically because I guess like when we first lived in this normal neighborhood, we get together. But then a thing that people like to do was these neighbors say bad stuff about these.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Oh yeah.

[Matthew Hepner]

But then they would hang out, you know, but it was like, then you hang on these neighbors and they said bad stuff about them. And I'm like, I don't want to do this.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

I've been guilty of that. I. I had friends that common ground meshed together because they. This is when I was really young. Like I was like a teenager. And one friend group would hear bad about the other friend group and vice verse. And then like, I couldn't understand why I couldn't make these for this friend group mesh together. Was my own fault because I was the dookie in that situation. Yeah, I learned that lesson the hard way. Gay.

[Top Lobster]

Hey, $5 from Stacks Farmstead. Nancy.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Hold on, I'll play the.

[Matthew Hepner]

Play the music.

[Top Lobster]

Here we go. Play it again. She heard it.

[Matthew Hepner]

It's a special.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Well, she might. She might be rough.

[Matthew Hepner]

What if she's like, not even here, dude?

[Top Lobster]

Well, she's there. I see her, but she's not. Yeah, it's hard to tell. Maybe she died.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Stacks Farmstead. Thank you for the five dollar donation. Thanks for having this conversation. Lets me know I'm not alone. Alone in some of my shortcomings. Yeah, I mean, we're all equally, you know, just in different ways. I hope your daughter's crushing, by the way.

[Top Lobster]

Nice to see how nasty I am in all different ways. That was a 20 minute segment.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Well, yeah, I mean, it's not a lot to unpack.

[Top Lobster]

Shortest question, the only question about me.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

This is the shortest question from. From Black Juice. He says, or she says. I don't want to misgender. They. Black Juice, are you having fun?

[Top Lobster]

Probably yeah.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

When Top's in a good mood.

[Matthew Hepner]

No, this topic came up on the last show. I was saying how, like, people in the shop would have no clue how nasty he is on the Internet, and people on the Internet would have no clue how kind he is in, like, real life.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Oh, yeah, yeah, they would have.

[Matthew Hepner]

No, like, imagine Frank.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

I love Frank. Yeah.

[Matthew Hepner]

Could you imagine Frank?

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Oh, knowing who Mr. Nasty is?

[Matthew Hepner]

He would have. There's no way.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Honestly.

[Matthew Hepner]

He'd be like, no, there's no way.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

If Frank saw any of our Twitters, he'd be like. Like, what the bro?

[Matthew Hepner]

No, that's what I'm saying. Like, all the people out here think you're just this kind guy.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Yeah, well, because he's a barista, I don't know.

[Top Lobster]

That's who I am in real life.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

I definitely am having fun, though. This is. Doing this show and. And all this is. I want to go. You know what I do want to do, though, is go, like, great points. Still reserve go places more.

[Matthew Hepner]

What do you mean?

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Like, for the show, I'd like to travel a little bit more and do some fun stuff.

[Matthew Hepner]

Travel out in the library, man.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Anchovy apostle says, would you consider interviewing somebody from tomorrow's world dot org? I'm gonna click on it from the future.

[Matthew Hepner]

Yeah, dude, if you get somebody here, I would totally talk.

[Top Lobster]

I'm gonna deny the Jerusalem Iran. I don't think so, dog.

[Matthew Hepner]

Oh, yeah, I'll talk to him.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

This looks like news and prophecy slop. Absolutely understand the world tomorrow. A truth about the ten Commandments. Plow shares into swords. Let's see. I'm gonna look them up on Twitter. That's how you really get to know.

[Top Lobster]

I don't think these people would want to talk to us.

[Matthew Hepner]

Oh, the plow shores. Plowshares into swords is intriguing. There's a story where Israel didn't have any more blacksmiths in the land, so when they needed weapons, they had to go to the Philistines to make it.

[Top Lobster]

Yeah.

[Matthew Hepner]

And, like, they're at war with the Philistines in the. In the book of Judges. But I think they say the same thing about America today. Like, there's stuff that we would need at time of war that we don't make in America. Like, it's made in China or wherever. But it's intriguing that that was always going on.

[Top Lobster]

So I'm gonna go ahead and say no.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

We have no followers in common outside of Derek Gilbert. I still follow Derek Gilbert. He's.

[Top Lobster]

He has blocked me.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Has he?

[Top Lobster]

Why would he.

[Matthew Hepner]

No, I Thought that was temporary.

[Top Lobster]

No, no, no. I'm nasty. So he blocked.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Honestly, I mean, I don't know. The rapture scam.

[Matthew Hepner]

See if Alo can talk to him.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

It seems, like, regular.

[Top Lobster]

I think it's good that way.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

It's regular, but it's. It's stuff we talk about. But if you want to talk about it with a guy that looks like that. No, here, I'll go ahead and let's bring him up. Up. Say chat. Do we. Do we want.

[Top Lobster]

No. Yeah,

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

absolutely. That looks fun. All the stuff that we talk about all the time except for from that guy.

[Matthew Hepner]

Good job. Still reserved. I like what he's saying, dude.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Steel reserve.

[Matthew Hepner]

Yeah, man. He's saying, like, hey, I get caught up at work too, but when I notice I'm doing it, I say it out loud and leave. That's powerful.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Hell yeah, dude.

[Matthew Hepner]

If you say, hey, man, I don't want to do this, bro. Like, I don't want to keep. Keep gossiping about people instead of just leaving.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

That's a good move.

[Top Lobster]

Chris G. Says, does anyone have the screenshot of Hunter replying to Toad on Twitter? I'm considering creating an account just to find it, but F that, I don't know.

[Matthew Hepner]

Probably.

[Top Lobster]

Yeah.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Ask a friend. I've been going hard against Hunter. What I realize is I like Hunter.

[Top Lobster]

I've been going hard for Hunter.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

You're hard for Hunter?

[Top Lobster]

He has.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

What I. What I discovered is he has a dedicated fan base. Movement.

[Top Lobster]

Yes.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

And. And they have been swarming me, and I've been calling them all, and you've been crazy.

[Matthew Hepner]

What's going on, dude?

[Top Lobster]

No. Yeah, this.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

He's talking coffee.

[Top Lobster]

No, Dave is just doing what I was doing two years ago. You're crashing out. You're crashing out on Twitter, on people.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Who's crashing out?

[Top Lobster]

You. You're being nasty.

[Matthew Hepner]

Oh, you are. Well, he's mad that he didn't get brought up in the beef yesterday.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Now I'm redirecting at Hunter.

[Top Lobster]

Let's. Let's look at some of David dude's recent tweets because they've been nasty.

[Matthew Hepner]

What. What are you going through, man?

[Top Lobster]

No, no, come on.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

I'm attacking pedophile.

[Top Lobster]

Don't read those.

[Matthew Hepner]

That's popular.

[Top Lobster]

No, no, no. You attacked a random ugly dude.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Okay? That guy was ugly.

[Top Lobster]

Okay, but you. I'm not going to tell you how to use Twitter. You're doing fine.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

I thought it was a good post.

[Top Lobster]

Are you just being nasty to people and I look at it?

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

I didn't do anything. I just showed Him a picture of him.

[Top Lobster]

Then they, they said to me, I came to David's thing and I was like, damn, dude, you got him to. To. You got this guy to delete his account. That's not, that's like a nasty thing to do. And then the guy, the guy goes, there you go defending Raven. Look at you coming out of nowhere defending the Raven. And I'm just like, oh, it's kind of the opposite.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

But I'm just like, showed him a picture of himself. So, so what happened was for the audience who doesn't know what I'm talking about, Hunter Biden popped up on X and is suddenly become. Well, this is the, the tweet that I, I made. It puts it all in cocktails. Hunter Biden hops on X and overnight becomes a viral B based sensation. If you say he's a piece of. You'll get hit with a wave of foreign accounts. In your comments defending him, I said, remember the pedo on his laptop? Remember when he sat on the board of Ukrainian oil company and was getting all that funding from the Biden administration just to funnel it right back into their own accounts? And, and then like clockwork, 280 comments later, I'm inundated by all of these people who are just defending, hiding. Okay, so, yeah. And so maybe I've been getting a little bit. Maybe I've been getting a little.

[Matthew Hepner]

This is nasty.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Hey, this looks like top right. Well, you know what it is? They, they show up and you go, you maga trumpetto. And then I just hit them with those words Trump is an F word slur. And so are you. You.

[Matthew Hepner]

And.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Because I don't care. This isn't a bipartisan thing. The dude had a laptop that was filled with all kinds of pedophilic crap, and he's smoking crack and he's doing cocaine with like, Obama's daughter. And all this is the most insane. Now all of a sudden, he pops up and he gets to be based,

[Top Lobster]

but he's having fun.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Right? But I'm not gonna stop saying that. He's a.

[Matthew Hepner]

How are you guys even still engaged in those? We're watching theater. You guys know it, of all people. Like, it's a play and this is the next part of the play. And, like, we're gonna argue about, like, we're not. You're gonna watch a movie and yell at the character.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Why does this mean that I. Of course I'm having fun. It's that when a character comes out too serious.

[Matthew Hepner]

Yeah, you're getting a little rowdy dude.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Unbelievable. All right, let's go on to the next question. It's.

[Matthew Hepner]

That was my favorite thing the other day when he burped three times and yelled at me for picking my teeth.

[Top Lobster]

Very funny.

[Matthew Hepner]

He's like the ultimate.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Okay. No, that was the. The thing. Okay, so Stack said, which Bible would you recommend for study? Kgv, N, J, K, V, E, T, C. Oh, wait. Etc.

[Top Lobster]

King James, I guess. Right?

[Matthew Hepner]

I don't know.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Hell, I mean, not for me, bro. I can't even understand it.

[Matthew Hepner]

Nlt. This is what everybody in my house reads, bro. I'm. I'm actually reading the NLT before bed.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

I think it's probably smart, like, you read the nlt, and then after you, you know, you grasp it because it seems to be written in regular people words. You could then go out and read something a little bit more complicated maybe.

[Matthew Hepner]

I like. I like kjv. That's what I like. It slows me down. It makes me really focus on the word. And then I can flip over to a phone and pull up the Greek or Hebrew or whatever. I don't know. I'm not. I'm not saying that has anything to do with anybody else, though I did. I guess it's all. Whatever your preference is. The Amplified Bible is kind of rad too. It's very loud. No, it's like very thorough. Brings out all. Because they say the English language is very weak. So. So actual, you know, one word who says that the Greek would require like seven words in English to fully bring out that word? So the Amplified does that with the Greek and the Hebrew. But no, I. I like the NLT before bed because I don't have a pen. I'm not making notes. I'm not cross referencing. I'm just reading it as I'm going bed. And so it's just easy to read. And everybody in my house reads the NLT too, because that way you get it, it just makes sense.

[Top Lobster]

There's no way. That's my favorite version. It's called the Hawaiian Pigeon.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Cindy was reading that the other day, and it's crazy.

[Top Lobster]

Check this out, dog. You're gonna love that.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

It's so.

[Top Lobster]

It's so they got Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, and then they got the Jesus guys.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Jesus guys. What's that?

[Top Lobster]

I don't know.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

For the wrong people.

[Top Lobster]

For the Rome people, I guess it's the Rome, Romans. What is Jesus, guys, there's no way.

[Matthew Hepner]

Yeah, Matthew, Mark.

[Top Lobster]

Number one for the current people. Number two for the current people.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

For the Galatia people.

[Matthew Hepner]

Oh, that's kind of cool.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Wait, let's.

[Matthew Hepner]

Let's read some of it.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Okay.

[Top Lobster]

Yeah. What do you want to read?

[Matthew Hepner]

Yeah, how about the Jesus guys? Acts 1.

[Top Lobster]

Acts 1. Okay, let's just go.

[Matthew Hepner]

Awesome. Aloha.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Ah, Teophilus. I went right for you before Matt.

[Top Lobster]

You got it?

[Matthew Hepner]

No, I. He. Now it makes sense. With his accent, there's no way I would understand what that's even saying.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

And I tell you, all the stuff that Jesus went do and teach from

[Matthew Hepner]

the start, that's pretty good, man.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

To the time God take him up inside the sky.

[Matthew Hepner]

I knew I was gonna like this.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Before he go up, he tell the guys he went pick for send all over when they gotta go, go do what they gotta do. God's special. What special? When tell him all that. Now after Jesus went suffer, he let the guys that when he pick see him. And he proved that day stay alive. For real.

[Top Lobster]

For real, for real, for real.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

I added the R. I can't even say he stay show up by them for 40 days and when tell them, however, till stay. When God stay king.

[Matthew Hepner]

Yeah, bro, that was great, dude. You're so good at voice.

[Top Lobster]

Listen, man, I'm not for missionaries, and I don't think that the Bible should be translated in this way.

[Matthew Hepner]

What? No, it's got to be in a

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

language that's not a language.

[Matthew Hepner]

That's how they talk.

[Top Lobster]

That's. That's not a language. It's English.

[Matthew Hepner]

Okay, but people from England say that to me, okay? When they talk to me, they're like, oh, your English is.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Yeah, but they're gay.

[Top Lobster]

Amen.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Amen.

[Top Lobster]

And it was stinky, okay?

[Matthew Hepner]

His sheep know his voice, dude. He's got to speak in a language that people.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

I realized I. I did make that, like, Jamaican.

[Matthew Hepner]

That's what it was. Stinky.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

I don't know. Stinky. Nick says not a question. All right, then off, Nick. But I had today's straight Bible playing in my car, and my dog was totally enamored with Matt, who had says six T's, five T's and hung in every word.

[Matthew Hepner]

Hold on, hold on, hold on.

[Top Lobster]

What did he say?

[Matthew Hepner]

There's a bear name that keeps bringing a topic up, and it's a bear, so we got to talk.

[Top Lobster]

Daisy eye Beard.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Daisy. Ey.

[Matthew Hepner]

I feel like it's popped up a couple times now.

[Top Lobster]

No, I don't think so.

[Matthew Hepner]

The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit have always existed as far as we understand time, as far as how we can comprehend this word called time. And like a timeline. No, they Were never separate. God is love. So it. So the concept of that is that, like, God loves. What if there's. If there's just one. Right. So there's three. God is love. This love is able to. To exist. He's a bear person. So I didn't even think about this. So he's probably got the thing with the one Benjamin with the.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Yeah. Where the Trinity is a gay relationship.

[Matthew Hepner]

Joke about it or whatever, which is whatever. But no, they've always existed from the beginning of what we would call time. But that's a very complicated discussion.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Wait, wait. So you're saying there's this thing called time. It's like a collection of moments that's moving ever forward, but forward is only a construct that exists within it.

[Top Lobster]

Yeah, time. My kids don't get it either.

[Matthew Hepner]

Well, no, because in our mind, we're like, yeah, well, then who was before God? You know? Because it's all we can. There's the only way we can understand. Like a timeline.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

That's where you go. No, you.

[Matthew Hepner]

It's like, no, no. This concept of time was created by God. God existed outside of time. He existed outside of all this.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Port Manport's been asking this, and I. I've seen it. I thought it was a joke at first, but I've seen it, like, a bunch of times. So I'll answer a question from yesterday's show, David. Are your dreams in black and white or in color?

[Top Lobster]

Color.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Color. And I had a dream last night where I was in an old part of town, an old part of town that I used to live in. And it was an abandoned storefront, and it was night time. It was a main avenue, and I was trying to hide from some sort of greasy demon outside. And I was with a bunch of other people that were also trying to hide from this thing. And it noticed us in there. And it came towards the big glass window because it was a storefront. So he had a big glass window, and there was a front door. Glass window to the right, glass window to the left. It's approaching the one on the right. Right. And so the people inside smashed the one out on the left and run. And I, in an effort to, like, distract this thing from them, smash the window with the right and move towards the thing. I have my gun. I usually have my gun in my dreams. And I shot it in the face, and it didn't really seem to give a shit, so I started running and it got kind of parallel to me, so I shot it in the face again. And this time it made like a noise like it didn't like that. I didn't get very far. I had to go into another abandoned storefront. Went down into the basement. I'm down there, I'm looking for something defend myself myself with. I find like a fishing spear. Trident. Not like a full trident, but like a little one. Like, you know. You ever see the long fishing spears with like multiple prongs, like 4?

[Matthew Hepner]

Use them for gigging? Yeah, like for fish gigging, frog gigging.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

I find one of them. I also find a katana. Them, them. And all of a sudden this thing's coming down the stairs and somebody who escaped with me is like, it's coming. So I go back to the stairs and I'm trying to get it. It's like an asymmetrical warfare thing. It's coming down the stairwell so it can only move in a straight line path. It's now a giant black panther. I managed to like jam it up a lot. I'm stabbing it, stabbing it and I get it in the mouth and. And now I've got it. Like I'm holding the spear end and it's in its mouth and it's like just enough. It's reaching me, it's slashing my arm. I'm going. I remember I have this katana and I go to get it and I want to like hack its arm off and I drop the thing and then there's some woman is there and I go, pass me the katana, pass me the Donna. And she's just freaking out and she grabs a bunch of stuff and she slips and falls and knocks some stuff down and it gets dust in my eyes and. And I'm like, you.

[Matthew Hepner]

No, okay, that was the whole dream. Okay, so you're running from something from your past. You're dealing with something from your past. But there's a group of people. I like your style though. You met. You met the thing from your past head on. You met the thing from your past head on.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

It looked like the demi.

[Matthew Hepner]

Everybody else went running. You said no, I got a heart to like help those guys. Like, I'll take this thing on. I'll meet it head on from my past. So who knows if that's family your descend into. You don't.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

I didn't have anybody that looked like that in my family.

[Matthew Hepner]

Well, you don't know in the spirit realm.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Well, I had a black grandma.

[Matthew Hepner]

But then you're finding these different ways to battle against it. You are stabbing it with a thing. That's a trident. Whatever but ultimately, you were sloppy with the sword of the spirit, which is the word of God. Like, ultimately, that was the thing that was going to bring the solution.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

I was gonna cut his arm off.

[Matthew Hepner]

Sloppy with. Yeah, but then you got sloppy with it.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

You know what I had today?

[Matthew Hepner]

You haven't been in the word of God, which is what top is saying, saying you haven't been going to church. And so you got to get your game right with the word of God.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Dude, you know what I had today?

[Top Lobster]

Saying that, but everybody notices.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

I, I. Well, yeah, I mean, I had this notion today I was talking to God, and I realized, like, so my black grandma, like, is the furthest back that I'm aware the corvos go. But she was not, like, she was, you know, unwillingly bf. Well, I don't know that there was any butt stuff, but it was, you know, not, not a consensual conception.

[Top Lobster]

Okay.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

So I realized, like, oh, the iniquity that comes from that is probably pretty crazy.

[Top Lobster]

You're a product of rape.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Well, I mean, well, I mean, several rapes ago or, you know, many rapes down the line. Yeah. And the guy, you know, obviously she didn't take his name, and, and he, she didn't claim any legitimacy for the kids, so she was left to do the thing. And he went on to be successful, own, like, a string of furniture stores in Argentina. But yeah, I was like, oh, yeah, there's probably a ton of iniquity that comes from that, you know, the, the, the, the non consensual BFing.

[Matthew Hepner]

Yeah.

[Top Lobster]

So.

[Matthew Hepner]

And then that could have been the people in the dream, but at the end.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Oh, no, no, I'm not saying that. I'm just saying, like, oh, yeah, what about that?

[Matthew Hepner]

But no, what do you mean? What about you've had a spiritual blood transfusion, like, whatever, that ancestry history is irrelevant in Christ now.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Well, yeah, so I just, like, you know, I prayed about it, and I was like, yeah, whatever iniquity comes from

[Matthew Hepner]

that, you just got to get stronger with that. I mean, don't you wish at that time you were more handy with the sword?

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Oh, yeah, it would have been great. And then that stupid didn't ruin it for me, and she knocked all that dust in my eyes.

[Top Lobster]

Who knocked the dust in your eyes?

[Matthew Hepner]

Female.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

I told her to go get the sword. I got this thing with a spear in its mouth, and she's just fumbling and slopping around and knocks a bunch of crap down, and she's all freaking freaked out, and all she had to do was Just pass it to me. And I had to lob this thing's arm off. It's a big black panther.

[Top Lobster]

You're.

[Matthew Hepner]

I already know what you're saying. So him and the wife need to, like, get stronger in the word of God that. It got fumbled.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

I don't know who this girl was. Her name was Stephanie, I think. White Beach. I don't know her.

[Top Lobster]

And you were Carter.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

No, I think that was me.

[Top Lobster]

All right, so.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

So Junior Esquire says, are any of you guys going to see Disclosure Day?

[Top Lobster]

Of course. We talked about that.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Matt, you're not going to come. Come with us.

[Matthew Hepner]

No.

[Top Lobster]

Why not do that?

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

You want to go on a movie date with us?

[Matthew Hepner]

What time of day? First off, because I'm not.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Dude, we're not going late.

[Top Lobster]

That's crazy.

[Matthew Hepner]

Yeah.

[Top Lobster]

No, this has got to be. Maybe we'll bring a camera and just record the whole thing.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Stream it. Wow.

[Top Lobster]

Like. Like old.

[Matthew Hepner]

No. Could we bring some stuff and talk to people outside before we go in?

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

What are you talking about?

[Top Lobster]

Oh, we could love that. Talk to people afterward. That would be fun. What did you think of that movie? That actually. That's not a bad idea.

[Matthew Hepner]

I'll approach people. I know you're like, oh, too cool to just walk up to people and start a conversation.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Where are you from? I do say that, but.

[Matthew Hepner]

Yeah, but, like, I'll do it.

[Top Lobster]

Bring the stuff.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

You know what I really love?

[Top Lobster]

Huh?

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

You know those goats that go, like, doing.

[Top Lobster]

He's. He's sitting for so long.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Steven.

[Top Lobster]

Steven will go to that. It's not a bad idea. Maybe. So we'll set that up.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Steven.

[Top Lobster]

Then let's go to a movie theater that actually has people in it. Because this movie theater here doesn't. I mean, they're not gonna. Where else is there not that many people in. In that theater?

[Matthew Hepner]

Which one?

[Top Lobster]

The one at Sumter probably depends on what time you go. Which is nice.

[Matthew Hepner]

Depends. I saw. What

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Diapers.

[Matthew Hepner]

That's funny.

[Top Lobster]

I guess maybe we could even ask them. Can we. Can we record there? Like, in the lobby?

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Oh, in the lobby, yeah. Because it's illegal to record a. You wouldn't pirate a vagina. You wouldn't download a vagina, would you? Would you? How dare you. Sparrow nose bear says, does the Bible have anything on whether or not our past loved ones can see or hear us? Or are they in such perfect peace and presence?

[Matthew Hepner]

Boring you?

[Top Lobster]

Yeah.

[Matthew Hepner]

Stop with the yawning.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Can you focus? Don't, don't, don't.

[Matthew Hepner]

I don't like when he does that. He acts like we're boring.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Why are you looking at him?

[Matthew Hepner]

I. I'm not allowed to look at the chat. I have to look that direction.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Geez, man. Or are they in such perfect peace and presence with God that we don't even cross their minds? And then side question is, can we pray for our loved ones after they pass? Like, if we aren't sure where they ended up? Thanks, Matt. With four T's.

[Top Lobster]

Good job.

[Matthew Hepner]

The short answer to the first part is, Adam, I don't know.

[Top Lobster]

Okay.

[Matthew Hepner]

The second part is it's appointed in the man wants to die, and after that, the judgment. So I don't spend any time praying on loved ones who have already passed. And I have one who's very close to me who is a very. If that was possible, I would be praying my dad. You know what I'm saying?

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

But did you ever give it, like a. Just a hey, Lord, but if there is, like, anything.

[Matthew Hepner]

No, no. I've communicated with God about it, but not in the sense of like, hey, can you save them now? I don't. I mean, I don't. If somebody has some other view of that, that they. They can back up biblically where you would pray for somebody who's already died. Like, I. I think that's the thing. I think. I think we all have to come to terms with, like, the severity of this life. Dude. Like. Like, you got one shot. That's it. Dude. As soon as the off button goes off, like, that's it. That's it. And I think to teach anything different is to really leave people vulnerable and really kind of screw people.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Well, right now they're in hell. They're having their ego killed, and they're gonna be fine after. They're gonna come out of it.

[Matthew Hepner]

I don't like that.

[Top Lobster]

All right, message. Jacob Israel said. So you're the Bedworth winner. Hilarious.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

The bed winner.

[Top Lobster]

The bed winner. Because he sells mattresses.

[Matthew Hepner]

Good one. Okay, but Hebrews 12. One says this. Wherefore, seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside. Every weight in the sandwich does so easily beset us. And let us run with patience the race that is set before us.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

So the witnesses are who look at you when you masturbate. Right.

[Matthew Hepner]

I don't like that. But Hebrews 11, it's telling the story of all these people who have come before us in the faith that they live. Lived out the faith that they lived. And then it says, we're compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses. So I don't know.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Oh, Xerox says something, and she says, lazarus, in the parable of the rich man, was aware of the living.

[Matthew Hepner]

Yeah, sure. Yep. So they're aware, and they kept their identity. A lot of people are like, oh, when I die, I'm not. I'm gonna turn into this. No, no, you're. You're top lobster forever.

[Top Lobster]

But maybe hell is like that. Wouldn't hell be seeing that still not in that story.

[Matthew Hepner]

And in that story, the rich man is in hell. He' aware of his suffering. He never asked to get taken out. It's like. It's like he knows he belongs there. He doesn't ask to be taken out, but he says, tell Lazarus to bring me a drink of water to dip the cool in my tongue because I'm tormented here. And then Abraham says, nah, bro, there's a gulf between us, man. So that you guys can't come over here, and we can't come over there now. This is before the resurrection. So I. So exactly how.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

That's exactly what Keisha Black name said. Hell, yeah, Keisha.

[Matthew Hepner]

Yeah. So I don't know exactly what the setup is now, but I'm just saying that, like, Jesus is the lion of the tribe of Judah in the book of Revelation. That's a future event. I know this people are going to roast for this one, but this is what it says, man. He's a Jewish man for eternity.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

What?

[Matthew Hepner]

He's the lion of the tribe of Judah. So he's a man. There's a man in the Godhead. He's not from another nation in the eternal realm. He's a lion of the tribe of Judah.

[Top Lobster]

I can't get down with this forever.

[Matthew Hepner]

So. So there's that. So, like, this idea that, yeah, we retain our identity is. Is there, like, he. Like, he says, man, you're going to sit down to eat with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. They're still Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Like, they still. Are those guys Jewish? So anyway, like, yeah. Do I wonder if, like, any of my loved ones who came before me are watching? I don't. Maybe they could be watching, but that doesn't mean I'd ever try to communicate with them or pray so they see.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Like, if you're out there jerking off,

[Top Lobster]

they're gonna see it.

[Matthew Hepner]

Why does he talk like that?

[Top Lobster]

I don't know.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Maybe that was always my. My big fear, you know? I was like, damn, you think like this? Like, spiritual homies are just watching you. Like, he's pulling his backer.

[Top Lobster]

We have another question from Joel Wells. I'm gonna read that.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

No, because we're skipping over. Teddy. Ira.

[Matthew Hepner]

Oh.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Teddy says, do you pray? Healing prayers and anointing. Anointing oils over your children when they have a cold. If so, what oil do you use or avoid using? Do you oil your children? Anoint them?

[Matthew Hepner]

That wasn't directed to me.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

I don't.

[Top Lobster]

No, I don't. No. You don't pray, anoint my kids when they have a cold?

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

No, I don't. I just go like. I was just like, you'll be good tomorrow.

[Top Lobster]

Yeah.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

And then he is.

[Top Lobster]

You'll be all right. Get off of me, Cole.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

That's what I do. I go, get off of them. Cold. Cold. In the name of Jesus.

[Matthew Hepner]

Kool Aid soaked pineapples.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

No, I don't think you. Actually, I try to avoid any kind of sugary crap, especially if he gets sick, because I think it just causes inflammation and it's gonna, like, prolong, like. Yeah, he needs stuff that, you know, doesn't have a bunch of crap in it. In particular when he's under the weather, because I do. I let him have some treats.

[Matthew Hepner]

And as long, like, when my kids were especially little, they always asked for me or Jess to come pray for him when they sick.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Okay.

[Matthew Hepner]

I don't remember using oil.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Panda flies soak the pineapples in nyquil, yo. That's going to be a thing now?

[Top Lobster]

No. Panda. Why'd you say that?

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Scissor. Pineapple spears.

[Top Lobster]

Somebody's gonna die.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

I'll try one.

[Top Lobster]

Oh, no. All right. He asked about another scripture, First Peter 40. Because this guy's taking advantage, asking more than one question. And above all things, have fervent charity among yourselves, for charity shall cover the multitude of sins.

[Matthew Hepner]

Xerox. There. Is that the anointing oil? That's not supposed to go on people, though. Is that the one that's supposed to go on the tabernacle? I. I don't know off the top of my head, but I know that there's one that's not made for going on people. It's made for going on the tabernacle. Exodus 30, 23.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Holy. It's an hour and 46 minutes.

[Top Lobster]

Yeah. We're about to bring this.

[Matthew Hepner]

No, that's not a one. It's 46. Six minutes.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

We have one, two, three, four more questions left.

[Top Lobster]

Here we go. Boom.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

You got it. That was fast.

[Matthew Hepner]

Okay, take that. Also, the principal spices of myrrh, 500 shekels, sweet cinnamon, 200 visuals, sweet calamus, 200. Someone doesn't somebody say that. That's cannabis sativa is what that's supposed to be. You guys heard that, right? Shekels and shall make the oil after the apothecary. It shall be a holy anointing. Anoint the tavern tabernacle of the congregation therewith. And the ark of the testimony and the table and all his vessels. And the candlestick in his vessels. Altar. Vincent's altar. Burnt. Offering everything oily. Thou shalt sanctify them, they may be most holy. And thou shalt anoint Aaron and his sons.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Okay.

[Matthew Hepner]

Whatever touches him, him shall be holy. And you shall anoint Aaron and his sons and consecrate them that they may minister unto me in the priest's office. I don't know. There's one of those oils that's specifically for the tabernacle. And there's a different one that I think they annoy Aaron and his kids with. And that one goes down the beard and the clothes, but it never touches the flesh.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Everything's so sticky.

[Top Lobster]

Everything's very oily, lubed up.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Oily.

[Matthew Hepner]

Yeah. Cannabis by some. That's what I've heard.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Okay. 1 Peter 4:8. Would you discuss in group preference and in group accountability also, how do we maintain separation from the world without a two tier system that either puts us at risk of worldly infiltrations or benefits us at the expense of the world. World like the Jews. So why are we not like the Jews?

[Matthew Hepner]

1 Peter 4:8.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

1 Peter 4:8. Discuss in group preference and in group accountability.

[Matthew Hepner]

Wait. 1 Peter 4. And above all things have fervent love among yourselves. For love shall cover the multitude of sins.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Multitude.

[Matthew Hepner]

What's the question?

[Top Lobster]

I don't know.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

So I guess his interpretation of it is that it, this is talking about in group preference and then in group accountability. So you know, you. You are exclusionary. You have in group preference and then you hold your group to a certain standard.

[Matthew Hepner]

I don't know. I don't even. I don't know. But how you live in the world and not of the world. I think Daniel's a great example in Daniel chapter one. Like he lit. He's in the cabinet, if you will, in Babylon of a worldly empire that doesn't know, know the true God. And he's in the mix. He can't not be in the mix. But he doesn't eat what they feed on, right? Like he goes over there serving all the pork and everything. He says, no, no man, we can't eat this. It's unclean to us. And like I've said, Before, like Old Testament was like killing off the evil nations inside the territory that God had given to Israel. We're not doing that today, but we're fighting and warring against the spirit realm today. Same applications. Like, yeah, that doesn't have to do with food today, today, but it has to do with us not feeding on the things that the world feeds on. Like, like the world feeds on things that just instigates all of the stuff you see on the tweeter, bro. Or that everybody hates each other and fighting, like, we just don't feed on that stuff, dude. Like, I'm not. I'm not gonna feed my spirit with all that. So that's how you, like, be in the world, but not of the world, is be mindful of what you're feeding on. Especially, like at home, if you're at your job, you got to do what you got to do. Like, it is what it is.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

So, like, recognize pat patterns and call like, things for what they are, but don't, like, interact with them.

[Matthew Hepner]

Sometimes you got to interact with it, but just keep in mind you're not part of it. Right? I'm not gonna fight and argue with somebody any more than I'm gonna fight and argue with like a 3 year old. I'm like, I'm not. Not to put anybody down. Not to say, like, oh, if you're not a Christian, I'm putting you down. Not saying that. I'm just saying, like, we come from somewhere else. We come from another realm and we live in a different way because we belong to a different culture. Culture. We belong to a different kingdom with a different culture. And our thing is not like fighting and being in the middle of it. We're somewhere outside of it. We're in it, but we're not of it. Just keep that in mind, like in all your dealings. Don't get caught up.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Observe the statistics, but don't engage with the statistics.

[Top Lobster]

Yeah, I get what he's saying. You know what I'm saying? I don't know. I also point at it and say, let's read the last one from Victoria. That's it.

[Matthew Hepner]

And then we're out of here.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Why? Because this one's too long. Holy.

[Top Lobster]

Yeah, dude, I just. I scroll through that. I'm like, there's no. No way.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Sorry, buddy, but that's crazy. Joel Wells, Victoria says, 2nd Thessalonians 2, 4, reads 4 who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped so that he sits as God in the temple of God. Showing himself that he is God. And Paul tells us in First Corinthians 6, 19, 20 that our bodies are the Holy Spirit's temple.

[Top Lobster]

Temple.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

What or where is this temple? Am I safe to believe it's within our own mind and we exalt self over God that we should be mindful of instead of looking for Satan, a person.

[Matthew Hepner]

I got a view on that, but I don't. It's too offensive. I don't want to bring it up.

[Top Lobster]

Well, say it.

[Matthew Hepner]

No, that's the point.

[Top Lobster]

What's offensive about it?

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

What's offensive about it? It. Come on.

[Top Lobster]

A lot of people actually took offense to your. What was your thing? Saying, like, if you have a spouse, like, do whatever with the spouse.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Oh, yeah, whatever. Like, whatever you want.

[Top Lobster]

And I was like, yeah, I don't know.

[Matthew Hepner]

That's your wife. You do whatever. That's your wife.

[Top Lobster]

I'd say avoid.

[Matthew Hepner]

I'm not saying. I'm just saying do whatever you want. That's your wife.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Where you're advocating for butt stuff on this. No, I said straight Bible Q A.

[Matthew Hepner]

I'm not doing this.

[Top Lobster]

I'm not doing this.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

That's crazy.

[Matthew Hepner]

Okay. You guys ever been in the 501C3

[Top Lobster]

system when they do butt stuff?

[Matthew Hepner]

No. And you say, yeah, man, I've been. I'm still smoking weed or I'm still doing hard drugs. And people say, oh, no, that's okay. You have grace. You say, yeah, man, I cheated on my wife, dude. I'm just. I'm doing the best I can. I'm a Christian. I go, oh, yeah, yeah, you have grace, man. I mean, it's bad what you did, but you have grace. And then. But if you say, like, yeah, man, I'm not going to the. I don't watch the show anymore. They go, whoa, whoa, brother, you're. You're backslidden. You're backslidden. Right? Who opposes and exalts himself above all. That is called God or that is worshiped so that he as God sits in his. Sits in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God. Is it possible that a system could set itself up in the temple, which is us as an individual and us as the church, that something could set itself up inside of the temple as God, even though it's not God. God, sure.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Why was that offensive?

[Top Lobster]

Oh, he's just. Because he's calling the church the Antichrist again.

[Matthew Hepner]

Oh.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

You know, where my mind went is, like, identity politics. Like, let's say, you know, like the idea of transing yourself where your own identity takes precedence over all other things that you yourself are in control of. Something that is, you know, you're not in control of. You can't change your gender, but that becomes, like, all consuming. I mean, it goes back to that idea of worship, right? Like identity politics is a form of self worship. You're so focused on all things pass through the filter of your, let's say, gender. Right? I'm a. I'm a woman in a dude's body right now. All of my worldview passes through that filter. So when you talk to me, you need to be aware that you're talking to a woman in a dude. Dude's body. Right? When I step into an establishment, this establishment. Establishment needs to be accommodating to a woman in a dude's body. Everything, the entire world is painted with that brush. So, yeah, that's. That's something else sitting in, I guess. What. What is the throne of God in your inner temple?

[Matthew Hepner]

Interesting point.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Does that make sense?

[Matthew Hepner]

It's an interesting point.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Am I just saying?

[Matthew Hepner]

No, no. That's like.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

You guys are both tired.

[Matthew Hepner]

Top is very tired.

[Top Lobster]

No, you know, I'm just listening. He's just saying.

[Matthew Hepner]

No, you.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

Yeah, Dud be saying. All right, all right. Is that. Is that it?

[Top Lobster]

I think we nailed it.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

All right.

[Top Lobster]

Yeah, I don't know. Yeah, that's it. That's good.

[Matthew Hepner]

All right. I won't be saying any more words until you hit the off button.

[David Lee Corbo (The Raven)]

In the pages. They forgot death. When the last trumpet sound and the heaven.
