Welcome
00 - Welcome
(0:00:00) Start (0:01:57) Right after intro (0:02:01) What a lazy person. Good morning!
01 - Work Bestie Wanted to Cry. You Don't Know Crying Yet.
(0:02:30) Happy Labor Day tomorrow. She came to share, not like the rest of you.
(0:03:07) I imagined I’d go give her a hug to comfort her.
(0:03:34) My work bestie, short for best friend. Amazin’! She texted me she wanted to cry...
(0:05:21) How do you feel that you don't have to feel sorry for her? Stop being a mama! Silent Prayer?
(0:06:20) Lied to about everything. She asks about moments when she was screaming and crying — it didn’t feel like me, she says.
(0:07:03) You haven't seen crying yet, if you stay with it.
(0:07:34) Santa Barbara, go party, forget about the Lord. Don't let the Devil talk you out of it. Devil would rather you whoop and holler than to be still.
02 - Ever stop doing silent prayer? Drunk? Just started?
(0:08:13) Anyone ever stop doing the Silent Prayer? Why did you stop? Colin says: I get drunk. Not have to deal with my hell.
(0:09:04) When you're drunk you're getting into hell. Why not do it anyway even if drunk? Idk why. I can try that.
(0:10:15) Another young man, been here almost a year or more: I barely started the Silent Prayer now. Why did you start?
(0:11:15) White man from Africa stopped. Falling asleep… What made you stop? Complacency.
(0:11:53) JLP: I can't imagine... When I woke up, I was like wow I didn't know I was asleep. Couldn't imagine stopping doing it. People who start and stop, and the hell is worse...
(0:12:37) What's wrong? Why you way in the back?
03 - BQ: God of OT vs NT? Why was He so mean?
(0:13:01) BQ?
(0:14:58) Why was he so mean in the OT?
(0:15:57) There was this woman told not to look back (Lot's wife).
(0:17:31) Another person, Shayan… (0:19:24) Go find me 50-100 righteous people… (0:20:37) If I can find two righteous people? (0:22:03) I don't call it mean… NT? (0:23:31) Would you rather be drowned or burned?
(0:24:15) Another on BQ, a white T-shirt man… (0:25:28) Maybe they were doing really bad stuff, Lindsay Clancy type stuff … NT God is nicer.
(0:26:48) Colin says it's not true — he doesn't believe those are true stories. I only have a New Testament. (0:27:56) Psalms and Genesis, but the rest is trash
(0:28:17) They stoned a guy who was picking up sticks on the Sabbath. Covenants were serious. (0:30:53) Regretted making people? (0:31:30) You're OK with it.... (0:34:10) Which God you like best? Who is nicer?
(0:35:02) Yes, ma'am: BQ: Never heard anyone discuss! God seems mean in the Old Testament! Young lady speaks…. Parental styles… (0:36:28) My parents were not physically abusive!
3B - BQ continued… Which you like best? Same God? Is fire coming?
(0:39:26) Man: They're the same. (0:40:43) The Devil did that?
(0:42:38) JLP: Want people to think for themselves. Know what they know, instead of what they heard.
(0:42:57) Francisco… (0:44:57) You like the NT better than the OT?
(0:45:28) Doug (0:46:08) God was Jewish, huh? Jk… (0:47:42) Coming back with fire!
(0:50:01) Doug, same things happening.
Nick… OT & NT is man writing about our experience. (0:52:47) Which one you like best, Nick?
(0:53:42) Hold on, Hake! Man: same. Love. Perfect. Fallen State.
(0:56:36) Bless (“Precious”) says same God — mean means average. When the brimstone
(0:58:14) Hake on OT vs NT, Jesus, scary God…
(1:02:49) Man in hat. Same God? Why so mean in OT? (1:05:00) Was the God of the Old Testament nice or mean?
(1:05:32) Man: This is so good… Covenants are different… (1:07:05) Purified, not burned
(1:07:55) JLP: According to the Bible, he drowned them out! black people vs white people swimming — what about CHILDREN…?
(1:08:55) I like the New Covenant way more. We don't have to do anything.
04 - Fallen State Ep 469: Jason Scoop ran. Q: Died for your sins?
(1:09:09) JLP: Anyone see The Fallen State episode Friday (Ep 469 with Jason Scoop) …
(1:10:25) Struck a nerve…
(1:11:04) Colin, what when you find out Jesus didn't die on the cross (for your sins)?
(1:12:13) Super beta, like a girl, feminine
(1:15:01) Check it out... Nick
(1:12:46) Bless … others … (1:14:42) Rochelle
(1:15:31) Hake: in a manner of speaking
(1:18:07) Colin: safe Christian territory
(1:18:47) Are you gonna tell us about OT / NT? Blame Daniel!
05 - JLP on BQ: Christ bought us back from the Devil
(1:19:07) JLP on BQ: The Devil owned us. God sent his Son to buy us back.
(1:21:42) Maybe made up by the writers... God knew we didn't have any way out. … God is Love.
(1:23:23) Today, there's no reason for us to suffer or feel guilty. Devil makes us think that. He has no authority anymore… He’ll make you act out b/c you believe him. He’ll depart and live in someone else. He can’t make you do anything. There’s no more death. Death does not exist.
(1:24:52) We've been tricked by people with the Bible!
(1:25:46) The fire is the Spirit of God … God is all love. His Son being sacrificed on the cross is another thing. God has never caused us to suffer at all.
5B - Man's possessions on the beach: Don't possess anything.
(1:27:06) Story I told at Men's Forum: Man moved on the beach, ocean front, waves, wind…
(1:28:39) I don't wanna lose this, so he became afraid and built a wall to protect his stuff, and felt better — so he could POSSESS it…
(1:33:33) A clear mind now... If you stay with the Light.
5C - Forgive them, for they know not what they do. Again: Don't possess anything.
(1:35:41) Christ on the cross to God: Forgive them, for they know not what they do. Don’t possess anything. Enjoy your life, go live, but let it come and go as it will naturally.
(1:37:45) Jesus: I never knew you. You had no love.
(1:40:52) You and the Father will be one, and the world cannot deceive you about God.
5D - Revelation added 300 years later?
(1:41:14) There are people who are afraid in the NT… Revelation
(1:41:48) Revelation
06 - Conflict with others? Sit in the pain. Possess nothing!
(1:44:55) Young lady
(1:46:41) JLP: ... Sit in it
(1:49:13) JLP story: Friend young lady may go to jail. Sit in it.
(1:51:08) Pattern I have with everyone. "I'm just so forgiving." I don't wanna be uncomfortable in tension. (Conflict with anyone — husband, mother, anyone…) She’ll give you the evil eye
(1:53:34) Can you relate to her Mr. Doctor? Lady: Want some cheese cake? Shayan…
(1:57:16) JLP: You don't wait on the healing! You go back to the Devil for a quick fix. Blame others for making you feel that way. … The Devil’s a mess!
(1:57:51) Watching it gets easier. Don’t try to make the pain easy.
6B - Possess nothing! Don’t be sad. No love nor hate.
(2:00:33) Without trying I could see what's wrong with the patient and help them. "I don't wanna lose this now." JLP: Possess nothing! Gonna leave anyway!
(2:01:37) Colin — let it go. Life is happening for you!
(2:02:44) “Precious” — don’t be sad about people coming and going. Just ideas. I thought they were a friend.
JLP: I love no one, thank God. I don’t hate anyone either.
(2:06:47) Why do you call it bad? I don’t enjoy life, enjoy things. What if you didn’t call it anything, not bad or good? Why give it a title, an identity? You’re thinking it’s bad. “That’s so Zen.” Neutral, difficult. Sick, pain, held back from working.
(2:09:58) “If—“ you don’t respond or react. “If—“ poem
(2:11:17) Hake can’t rebuke her
(2:12:26) Franky story of farmer. Why call it good luck or bad luck?
(2:14:15) I didn’t have a problem. Question?
07 - 12yo dealing with mama
(2:15:02) JLP: Stay with it.
(2:16:00) 12yo dealing with mama… dad defends her. speak up but don’t be mad.
