If you are receiving this transmission, you are the resistance.
Declaring war on the New World Order.
truthradioshow.com And welcome to truthradioshow.com and an in-depth comprehensive study of the Bible chapter 11 of the book of 2 Corinthians So if you missed chapters 1 through 10, please go back and watch them in our playlist before you go any further.
So, like always guys, we like to have this awesome Bible study approach here.
Number one, is to pray for wisdom and understanding.
So let's do that today.
So Jesus, Yeshua, Messiah will come before you once again.
To ask you for forgiveness of our sins and trespasses, transgressions, or any abominations that any of us might have committed.
And we ask you fervently, Lord, and we love you so much.
And Heavenly Father, we ask you to give us your divine wisdom and knowledge once again, and give us the Holy Spirit, the Great Teacher, the Great Comforter, to write your word upon our hearts today, and in this case, the book of 2 Corinthians chapter 11.
We love you, Heavenly Father, and thank you.
And once again, like always, we pray for the people out there who are going through any kind of mental, spiritual, emotional, or physical problems, or any ailments or anything like that.
We pray that you comfort them and heal them, Lord.
In your mighty name, we love you so much.
Amen.
And now we read description context, because context is key.
which is important plain simple so let the scripture interpret scripture don't lean on your own understanding so if you've got a bible guys open up to chapter 11 and i can't believe we're almost done with this chapter uh after this we've got two more chapters there's only 13 chapters in the book of second christians and we're on to the next book so i'm excited i mean when i first started the series in book of matthew and the book of matthew was going along i'm like wow it's like i hope i get to finish the book of matthew and i'm And here we are, almost done with 2 Corinthians.
It's amazing.
So, if you've got the Bible, guys, open it up.
If not, we've got it up on screen.
We've got the King James Version here.
So, let's begin here.
So, again, Paul's letter to, second letter, to the Church of Corinth.
So, Paul's saying, would you, to God, would to God, you could bear with me a little of my folly.
And indeed, bear with me.
So, folly in the Bible means to hold pursuit of truth in contempt by choosing to make your own path.
So, you see that today.
Very much today, right?
How many so-called, quote-unquote, truthers are out there?
Claiming they're bearing truth to you, but it's off their own... I mean, it's off their own path.
You know, a lot of people in the Truth Movement, Patriots and all that, great people whatever the case, but they go off their own interpretations of things and their own thoughts and understandings, right?
Instead of the Lord's.
That's why there's a lot of confusion out there.
People who are in the churches today, who are New Agers and all kinds of other cults in the churches, infiltrated the churches, right?
They prepare to present truth, but no, it's from their own path.
They choose to make their own path instead of going down the path of the Lord.
So when I preach here guys, this is straight from the scriptures.
Like we talked about the last chapter, right?
You know, we don't glorify ourselves for doing it.
We glorify the Lord.
So again, Paul said, would to God you could bear with me a little in my folly, and indeed bear with me, right?
So he's asking the Lord to bear with him.
Right?
So he doesn't choose his own path.
But let the, you know, pursue it through the Lord.
Because it is, again, following the Bible's sense of the word is to hold the pursuit of truth in contempt.
So yeah, you claim to be in the pursuit of truth, right?
But you're not really doing it, and it's contempt, which is against what you're supposed to be doing.
And by choosing to make your own path, A life of wisdom or folly comes from more than the individual decision we make.
It comes from how we approach the journey of life as a whole.
So if you approach it and present it from the Lord, you're not going to go wrong.
That's why people start veering off that's where all these false religions come from, false preachers, because they will learn the Word of God, then they'll put their own thoughts and true sense into it, and they think they can interpret, you know, you don't have to interpret what you read in context.
But they think they could add things that are not there.
You know what I'm saying?
The Bible made a mistake because I discovered this.
No, the Bible doesn't make mistakes and you didn't discover nothing.
The Bible says it clears the day and that's how it is.
That's how I preach it.
I'm not going to say, well over here the Bible said this but I think it says this and it means that.
And I could be right about everything else but that.
No, you don't do that.
You stick to the Bible 100%.
So, for I am jealous of you with a godly jealousy, for I have exposed you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ.
So, if you, um, understand what this is about, right?
So, this is when I talk about actual, uh, wife and husband.
Uh, in the, in the spiritual speaking, right?
The body of Christ, right?
Is the bride.
Always.
Men and women, all that stuff.
And I say, it's not saying we're actually women.
No.
The church itself, the followers of Jesus Christ, the church, right?
Is the bride of Christ.
In a spiritual sense.
All right, that's what it's talking about, right?
So, Paul's saying, I am jealous over you with golly jealously, right?
And he's like, in other words, he's not, golly jealously means in a good way, right?
Because no, yes, we understand jealousy itself is a sin, but in this text here, it's not, you know, it's golly jealously, you know what I mean?
For I have exposed to you one husband, That I may present you as a chastity virgin to Christ.
So he's talking to the church, right?
He's telling people that I want to make you guys the virgin to Christ.
You know what I mean?
Like, because back then in a sense, right?
Even up until like last century, most women, they didn't get touched until they were married.
I'm talking about sexual.
You know what I mean?
They didn't have sex before marriage.
And if you were being set up for a marriage, right?
In other words, you wouldn't live with the woman until you got married.
And chastity virgin means you stay a virgin until you get married.
Thank you.
Thank you.
But today's society, people... That's why I gotta explain this, because today's society... Yeah, it's completely different.
It's backwards.
Right?
So... This is Paul saying he's...
Preparing you.
Preparing you for this big wedding to come, right?
And what's this big wedding?
When Jesus comes to redeem us all, right?
That's the wedding.
And a virgin is what?
Pure and clean.
Untouched.
Unblemished, right?
He wants to make us that way, guys.
In the spiritual sense, he wants the body of Christ, right?
The church, the woman.
Because the church is always referred to a woman.
That's why in Revelation we hear about the apostate church, which we believe is a Catholic church.
Yeah, she's the great harlot that rides the beast, right?
It's always referred to a woman, the church.
But in this case, the church of Jesus is not a religion.
It's us that follow Jesus Christ.
To be prepared as that chastened version to Christ.
So he wants us unblemished.
You know what I mean?
He wants to prepare us for the coming of Christ.
So, but I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his substitute, Settle, I'm sorry.
So your mind should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.
So, because... Once again, Paul's saying, hey, I want to try to get you guys, like, to be that perfect virgin going on to her husband.
Right?
But because of the serpent, talk about Satan, the devil, right?
He's very subtle.
You know, Satan, he's very subtle.
He doesn't appear to you as this ugly, red monster.
That's Hollywood stuff, right?
He appears to you as like an angel, white, basically, right?
Very subtle, very, like, convincing, soothsaying, everything else.
To corrupt your minds.
From the very simplicity that's in Christ.
And the thing is, guys, this here, the Scripture, is simple.
You don't need to have some scholar to interpret it for you.
You read it in context, it's clear as day.
Right?
So Satan works through different avenues to try to corrupt it.
Right?
For if he that comes preaches another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if you received another spirit, which we have not received, or another gospel, That's, you know, Bible in whatever case, which we have not accepted, you might well bear with him.
Right?
If somebody comes to you and says, hey, Jesus is this or that, but it doesn't match the Bible.
Or Jesus, you know, like the spirit I'm communicating with, right?
Says this or that, but it's not of the Bible.
Or they present you another doctrine that's not the Bible.
Right?
That's false teachings, right?
And it says, might well be it with him, right?
Now, again, in context, he's not saying to accept this stuff.
Because we understand the scripture does say anybody can't preach another gospel.
I spoke the words of Jesus, then in whatever case, he's supposed to let them be accursed, right?
But he's saying, like, which we have not accepted, you might well bear with him, right?
And again, he's not... And then you gotta read Paul.
And the thing is that people take Paul out of context.
And I think this might be one of the verses that somebody brought up to me before to try to say Paul's a false teacher and the Paul haters, they call them, right?
Because they brought this verse up.
I'm like, well, if you're bothered to read in context, it's not what he's saying.
If you take that one verse, yeah, it's like, wait a minute, hold on, Paul.
What are you talking about?
And if they preach another, you know, let me get the verse here.
Let them... I forgot what rush that was, right?
It was Glacians, right?
But it says...
But though we, or if an angel from heaven preach any other gospel unto you that which we have not preached unto you, let them be accursed.
Before we said, and now again, if any man preach any gospel unto you that you have not received, let him be accursed, right?
And in Galatians, right, it says Paul's telling us to let them be accursed, right?
So over here, Paul's saying, oh, just bear with them, right?
That's not what Paul is saying.
Because the thing is, yeah, this is one of the verses, too, I believe.
That these people who hate the Bible, they'll use us, right here, right?
This is a perfect demonstration of reading the context, right?
Perfect demonstration of what we've been talking about, right?
Read the scripture in context, so you yourself don't be deceived, right?
Because somebody will bring this up, well, there's a contradiction.
Paul's saying, let them be cursed, but yet, over here in Galatians, but over here, Paul's saying, oh, bear with them, right?
That's not what Paul's saying though, so we won't bother reading on, right?
In context, for I suppose I was not whipped behind every, excuse me, behind the very chiefest apostles.
But though I be rude in speech, yet not in knowledge, but we have been roughly made manifest among you all things.
And I have committed an offense in the base of myself that you might be exalted, because I have preached to you the gospel of God freely.
I robbed other churches, taking wages of them to do you service.
So now you can get this.
People, again, if you take single verses, you're going to take Paul out of context.
You know what I'm saying?
So, Paul is saying right here, don't let the serpent perceive you, right?
He's very subtle.
And it says, if he comes, right?
Preaches another Jesus, talk about Satan.
If he comes to you and preaches another Jesus, right?
Which you have not accepted.
Yeah, Mel will bear with him.
Right?
And there's a saying to bear with him.
And yeah, Dick is right.
But yeah, Paul's not saying to accept him.
That's what I'm trying to say.
That's not a contradiction.
He's not saying to accept him.
Because he says right here, which you have not received.
Don't receive it.
You know, in other words, don't listen to him.
And he's going on to say that, for I suppose I'm not a wit behind the very chief apostles.
Like smart, the smartest behind the very chief apostles.
But though I be rude in speech, yet not in knowledge.
Says that, yes, sometimes I be rude in speech, but not in knowledge.
But we have been thoroughly made manifest among you in all things.
Because Paul is saying, yes, sometimes I'm rude when I speak.
My own, you know, words, but not knowledge.
You know what I mean?
When I speak the Word of God, He's saying I'm reciting directly from that.
And He's saying, have I committed an offense on the basis of myself that you may be exalted?
He's asking us.
He's not saying He's doing it.
He's asking the people.
Have I committed an offense on the basis of myself that I might well be exalted because I have freely preached to you the Gospel of God freely?
He's asking that, right?
And he goes, I robbed other churches, taking wages of them to do you service.
And when I was present with you and wanted, I was chargeable to no man.
For that which was lacking to me, the brethren which came from Macedonia supplied.
And in all things I have kept myself from being burdensome unto you, and so I will keep myself.
You know, as the truth of Christ is in me, no man shall stop me of boasting in the regions of Achaia.
So he's boasting about, you know, Christ, not himself.
You know what I mean?
So again, it's like people say, well, Paul said he robbed other churches.
Taking wages of them to do your service.
That's not in the context of the Satan.
It's actually steal from churches.
He said he used these wages to do service for the people.
You know what I mean?
And again, this is Old English and everything else, so you're going to understand Paul here.
He's not saying he stole.
And in context, he's talking about this, right?
Now, as the truth of Christ is in me, no man shall stop me of this Boston in the regions of Echaia.
Yeah.
So, as Christ is, he's boasting about Christ in him.
He's not boasting about him, himself, but Christ that's in him.
Wherefore, because I love you not, God knows.
He's asking, you know, because I love, don't I love you guys?
God knows it.
But what I do, that I will do.
That I may cut off occasion from them which desire occasion.
that wherein thy glory, thy glory, they may be found even as we.
For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transform themselves into apostles of Christ.
Right?
And take no marvel, for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.
And you've seen these people all over the world, guys.
These people that come out on TV, right?
They got an audience of like 80,000 people.
A live audience of people all over the world tuning in to them.
They're very popular, right?
This is what he's talking about.
Deceitful work is false apostles.
They transform themselves as these apostles of Christ, right?
And some of these people call themselves apostles.
Some people call themselves prophets and everything else.
If any ministry out there, you see some clown on there, that addresses himself as apostle, or prophet, or prophetess, don't even bother turning it down.
Who in their right mind gives themselves these noble titles?
The apostles didn't call themselves apostles, Jesus called them apostles.
They didn't give themselves that title.
When the prophets came along, right?
They didn't give themselves the title.
God gave them those titles.
Therefore, it is no great thing if this ministers also be transformed as ministers of righteousness.
Benny Ham, Joel Osteen, Pat Roberts, Billy Graham, Chuck Schumer?
Oh, we could go on forever with these people.
Paula White?
Joyce Myers?
Yeah.
So, therefore, it is no great thing if ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness.
Those ends shall be according to their works.
Who's end?
I'm sorry.
Which their ends will be according to their works.
When their time is done.
How they're going to be judged according to their works.
And I'm telling you right now.
They are going to a very hot place.
And we talked about spiritual warfare in the last episode here.
And by the way guys before we go any further.
If you need more clear understanding.
Please hit me up.
Because I know some people will be like.
Oh Paul said he robbed the churches.
He's not talking about in that context like he stole from them.
And if you need greater explanation or understanding.
I'll be happy to look more into it.
And to get that for you.
Because we could be on for another 10 minutes talking about that.
You know what I mean?
So he's not saying he actually stole from the characters.
You know what I mean?
You gain money to help people.
You know what I mean?
And as you can see through the Corinthians, they did just that.
Now, two chapters ago we talked about that.
Paul was asking people to give to the ministries.
Yeah man, such as like us.
We got a donation page.
I don't like to advertise on my Bible series.
I just don't, I don't know.
I mean, I just feel too modest to do that, you know.
I do advertise on my spiritual warfare show because it pays for renting the studio for our live broadcast and everything else.
It helps out the ministry, you know what I mean?
But, you know, I don't like to, like, plug it all the time, you know what I mean?
Because I just feel modest, you know what I mean?
And I know the Lord's gonna provide it in a way, but without you guys, these broadcasts would not be possible.
So, I know how it is to receive donations.
I mean, without you guys, I mean, I wouldn't even have this ministry, to be honest with you.
Especially without the Lord.
So that's why Paul was talking about two chapters ago, chapter 9, how important it is to give.
Right?
And you don't have to get 10% of your tithes.
No, that's, yeah, whatever the one, you know, makes you feel that you should give.
You know what I mean?
You give from the heart, you know?
Which, I'm sorry, give with the left and your right doesn't know, you know, whatever the case.
But, yeah.
So if you need clear understanding, guys, by any of this stuff, please hit me up in the comment section or email me, truthradioshow.com.
Because I know some people, they'll run wild with this, like, especially this rest.
Verse 8, I rob the churches, take wages to them.
They'll take that way out of context, and to bash Paul.
And here's the other thing, too, before we move on.
For some reason, alright, the Essenes, the Gnostics, the Kabbalistic Jews, many religions hate Paul with a passion.
They got all disinformation about Paul.
They bash Paul.
And the thing is, they do that because Paul was handpicked by Jesus.
Paul was probably one of the most effective apostles there is.
So that's why they hate Paul.
Just want to point that out there, right?
Now again, going back to this in context, right?
So, Paul's talking about people who do these things, right?
They present to be righteous people, but they're not.
They're false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into apostles of Christ.
Right?
Appearing to be apostles of Christ.
And don't marvel, right?
Don't be marveled over this.
Don't be like, wow.
You know, because you've got to be careful.
Because Satan himself transforms himself to an angel of light.
Satan himself appears as this beautiful thing.
An angel and all that.
He doesn't come to you in red horns and a tail with a pitchfork.
That's Hollywood stuff.
He comes to people as a beautiful... He pretends to be Jesus.
A beautiful radiant being.
Soft-spoken, the whole nine yards.
So that's the deception he's trying to warn you about with Satan, right?
Because he beguiled you, remember?
There's a serpent.
So, therefore he's saying there's no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as ministers of righteousness.
They appear to be righteous.
Joel, Stephen, all these people, right?
And they use raw emotions to attract people.
It's all charismatic, all psychological warfare they use to attract all these people.
And the end is going to be according to their works.
We know what that means.
Yeah.
They're going to be judged and they're going to pay a heavy price for that.
And I say again, let no man think of me a fool.
So Paul's saying, don't think of me as a fool.
If otherwise, yet as a fool receives me, that I may boast of myself a little.
That which I speak, I speak not after the Lord, but as it were foolishly, in disconfidence of boasting.
He's talking once again about, um, boasting, like, uh, like, uh, look at me, I did this and that.
Versus boasting in the Lord.
You know, like, the Lord works through me.
You know what I mean?
And it's all from the Lord.
Thank God, you know, thanks to the Lord, all glory to Him.
If you got anybody out there that says, oh, I did this and that, I want all the glory, that's not a person of God.
That's what Paul's saying.
Seeing that many glory after the flesh, I will glory also.
For you suffer fools gladly, seeing yourselves are wise.
There's a lot of people, glory after the flash, I will glory also.
You know, like, so, he says, glory, but for you suffer fools gladly, seeing yourselves are wise.
For you suffer, if a man bring you into bondage, and if a man devour you, and if a man takes you, if a man exalts himself, if a man smites you on the face.
I speak as concerning reproach, as though we had been weak.
How about where is so, and he is bold?
I speak foolishly, I am bold also.
Now again, when you read these things, right, again, you gotta understand Like, right here, there's another verse, yeah, that's saying, you know, is Paul saying he will glorify also of the flesh?
Not in that context, no.
So that's why you need to read the whole context, you know, the whole Scripture in context, so you fully understand what he's talking about.
Because, again, Paul, I think of all the authors here, I think Paul is very easily to be misunderstood.
Very easily to be misinterpreted.
That's why, again, you need to read these things in context.
That's the whole paragraph of Scripture, the whole paragraph or chapter, I'm sorry, or whatever, however long it is, that pertains to that particular subject.
Because a couple of verses here and there, you're going to completely misunderstand Paul.
That's what I'm trying to explain here.
Are there Hebrews?
So am I. Are there Israelites?
So am I. Are they the seed of Abraham?
So am I. Are they the ministers of Christ?
I speak as a fool.
I am more.
And labor is more abundant and stripes above measure and prisons more frequent and debts off.
The stripes is like getting whipped and whatnot, you know, beaten and everything.
So, of the Jews five times received, I, forty stripes have saved one.
Thrice was like three times I was beaten with rods.
Once I was stoned.
Three times I suffered shipwreck.
A night and day I have been in the deep.
So Paul's talking about all the things that happened to him along his journey.
Been in prisons, and yeah, we read through the scriptures.
Paul was in prison a lot.
Getting beaten.
Stripes, that's what it is, and getting whipped.
Yeah, they literally put a stripe on your skin.
So, um, yeah.
And he's explaining this, right?
And journeys often, and perils of water, and perils of robbers, and perils of my own countrymen.
He's talking about all the people who attacked him all these years.
And perils of the heathen, and perils of the city, and perils of the wilderness, and perils of the sea, and perils of among false brethren.
And weariness and painfulness, and watching often in hunger and thirst, He's asking this question, right?
nakedness.
Besides those things I without, that which comes upon me daily, the care of the churches.
Who is weak?
Am I not weak?
Who is offended?
And I burn not.
He's asking this question, right?
If I must need glory, I will glory of the things which concern my infirmities.
So now if you read all this, like everything you heard, you hear a couple things that are questionable. - I don't know.
If you read the verses and all that stuff, right?
You're like, oh wait, why is Paul saying that?
Now here's where it comes to an end.
You know what I mean?
Like where Paul explains it.
That the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which is blessed forevermore, knows that I lie not.
So basically all the things that he's been accused of.
All the things like of the flesh and all the things, all the carnal things, right?
He's explaining this, right?
In Damascus, the governor under Attius, the king, kept the city of Damascus with garrison.
I forgot what a garrison is.
Military term.
I think it's a fort or something.
Garrison.
It's a troop station, yeah, fortress to defend the town, right?
So a garrison would be like a... You come to the gate of a city or whatever.
And it's a... It's a fortress right there, right?
To defend the place.
Like the National Guard bases they have in each state, you know what I mean?
So he's talking about Damascus, the governor under Artaeus, the king, kept the city of the Damascians with a garrison, under guard.
The serious two apprehend me.
And through a window in the basket I was let down by the wall and escaped his hands.
As you remember back in... I think it was Romans I believe.
He talks about that.
Him being... They trapped him in the city.
In Damascus.
And in the night time... His friends put him in this big basket.
with a rope tied to it and load him down the wall.
Because the city had gates and everything.
So in the night time he had to be lowered down out the window from the wall there.
And he ended up fleeing the city there.
Because they would have killed him.
And his buddies got him out.
You know what I mean?
So obviously this continues on to the next chapter.
So guys, keep that in mind.
So when you read... When we get to the next chapter, I'm sorry.
Read that in mind.
This is a continuation of this.
Because it completely explains what he's talking about, right?
And people say, well, he said he robbed churches.
Taking money from them, right?
To do the people, you service, right?
And the other one here was... I forgot what the other one was, but yeah.
The ones you question, right?
When you read it all in context, which goes on to the next chapter, chapter 12, right?
It completely explains itself and items itself out.
So, what I'm trying to get to you guys is when you see things like this, right?
Don't take it at face value because people use these all the time.
They try to, uh, belittle Paul.
You make him look like a thief or whatever the case.
No, he's not.
Alright, so don't take these things like this when people point them out.
As Paul contradicted himself or whatever the case blah blah blah.
No.
That's why you need to read this stuff in context.
And obviously the context of this continues over to the chapter 12.
Which we'll get to in the next video.
So, when we get to the next video I would actually suggest you to listen to this one one more time.
Or just read it real quick.
Then watch chapter 12.
But we got this one and chapter 13 coming up.
Two more chapters and we're done with this book yet.
So I'm excited for this.
I really am.
So to move on to the next book.
I can't wait to get to Revelation.
It's going to be great.
And I just pray to God that's going to be with me.
Because Revelation is a very, very difficult book right now for me.
So I pray that the Lord's with me for that one.
But I'm excited at the same time.
Because I'm learning as I go as well.
So, again, the next chapter, I would highly suggest to read chapter 11 here before we get to the next one.
When we get to that time.
And also, I believe it continues on.
This context continues on to chapter 13 as well.
So, keep that in mind before anybody has any doubts about Paul.
All right, because I don't want to spoil it.
Alright?
You know, spoil the next show there.
The next broadcast I should say.
So, if you have any doubts about Paul, or him doing this and that.
Like, keep in mind that the context is not over yet.
Alright?
So, that spills over into the next chapter, 12.
And I believe also into 13, whatever the case is.
But yeah, two more chapters and we're done with this.
And guys, thank you for tuning in.
Don't take my word, or anybody else's word for it.
Read it for yourself.
