00:00So in today's day and age, we have things that often involve multiple other things.
00:07We have multiple jobs, we have multiple cars, we have multiple houses, some people do.
00:12But when it comes to worship and obedience and doing what someone says,
00:19what does Scripture have to say about worshiping other gods?
00:23Can we worship other gods?
00:25Do we reject the one true God and go worship other gods?
00:27Can we worship multiple gods alongside with the one true God?
00:33Or is the Scriptures adamant and vehement about worshiping the one true God exclusively?
00:41Well, that's what we're going to get into in this particular teaching,
00:45coming up next on the God Honest Truth channel.
00:57So this drawing is going to be, or this teaching is going to be all about what the Bible has to say
01:11about the worship of other gods and especially how it relates to our subject series that we're studying right now.
01:17And that is the subject of Christmas and what the worship of other gods has to do with Christmas.
01:23So definitely stay tuned for this particular teaching.
01:26But before we get to that, I do want to remind everyone that we have the notes available for you on our website at GodHonestTruth.com.
01:35There's going to be a lot more information than what we have here in this particular presentation.

01:45you'll check that out on our website at GodHonestTruth.com.

02:11if that is something that is helpful for you.
02:14Go check it out today at GodHonestTruth.com.
02:17Another easier way is going to be to go down below in the description,
02:21and we have placed a convenient link down there for you.
02:23And if you click on that link, it'll take you directly to the article post on our website.
02:28It makes it so easy for you.
02:29And that should be down there in the description, whether you're watching on a video platform
02:34or listening on an audio podcasting platform.
02:37It should still be down there all the same.
02:39So starting out, let's do a simple quote that just pretty much encapsulates everything
02:45that we're going to be learning about and studying tonight from Scripture.
02:50This is the very first commandment, Exodus chapter 20, verse 3.
02:55You have no other mighty ones against my face.
03:00Or, as you're probably more accustomed to the King James Version,
03:05thou shalt have no other gods before me.
03:09Now, we can get into a whole teaching or a whole dross on just that one particular commandment,
03:14and we did back in our Ten Commandments series.
03:18But that pretty much encapsulates every single thing we're going to be learning about today.
03:22And it relates to not only this Christmas subject, but every other subject in your life.
03:29You're not to have any other gods besides Yahweh, because He is jealous.
03:34And we'll get to all that in just a minute.
03:37Sorry to get ahead of myself.
03:39But what does it mean to have other gods?
03:42Well, it really comes down to a word that we oftentimes get confused,
03:49and that is the word worship.
03:52We should only worship Yahweh.
03:55But what does that word worship mean?
03:59Well, in fact, we have a different concept of what worship is than what the Bible actually uses
04:08when it goes through, or especially the translations that we have nowadays,
04:13especially the King James Version or the modern translations, things like that.
04:18But basically, the differences boil down to this.
04:23And I tried to encapsulate it as best I could, but it's not perfect, but it does a pretty good job.
04:29The modern version or modern understanding of what worship is,
04:33is that it's giving something ultimate value, whether it be adoration or devotion or reverence
04:39to whatever you see as highest.
04:41That could even be your time, because we only have a limited number of hours in our life.
04:48So time is something we could give to something that we worship as well.
04:53Modern worship includes singing hymns or praying.
04:56You go to a big mega church nowadays, and they have a praise and worship time.
05:03And what is praise and worship?
05:04It's just songs and singing.
05:07But anyways, continue on.
05:09Worship and modern understanding is also living out what you cherish the most,
05:13whether that is God Almighty, money, fame, or a lot of people nowadays
05:18even have themselves as the highest thing of adoration in their lives.
05:25And worship is, in modern terms anyways, is about healing or choosing that which inspires you.
05:32And that's something that can change day by day.
05:35But is that the biblical concept or understanding of what worship is?
05:39The biblical, and again, this is just me encapsulating things here as best I can in modern language,
05:46but the biblical concept of worship means bowing low in spirit in action,
05:53important word, action, to Yahweh alone.
05:58No one else, no other God, but Yahweh.
06:02Honoring Him with total submission, reverence, and obedience.
06:06It's not just rituals like sacrifices or songs, even though that can be included,
06:12but that's not the real heart of worship.
06:14The biblical interpretation or understanding of worship is also praising Yahweh's worth,
06:22trusting His rule, serving His will, and living for His glory.
06:30Now keep that in mind, that serving His will, obedience and serving His will,
06:34because this comes up in many, many scriptures.
06:37And some of those we're going to get to here in just a moment.
06:39But even Yeshua said in the Brit Hadashah that those who break the commandments
06:50and teach others to do so will be called least in the kingdom of heaven,
06:54and those who keep the commandments and teach others to do so will be called greatest
06:58in the kingdom of heaven.
07:00So obeying the word of Yahweh and serving His will,
07:04and what do we know His will is?
07:05He put it for us in His scriptures, in the Bible.
07:09All we've got to do is read and study it,
07:11and we'll know at least a good portion of His will.
07:15We know it is to have no other gods before Him.
07:18We know it's to honor the seventh day as the Sabbath, the day of rest.
07:22It's to honor your Father, etc., etc., etc.
07:26We know what to do.
07:27We just have to serve Him and what He tells us to do.
07:32And that is the biblical understanding of worship.
07:36However, there is a little caveat, because you look in your Bible,
07:39and we'll look at the differences here in just a minute with some various scriptures.
07:43But as you look in your Bible, you'll see sometimes the two different words put side by side,
07:49and that is worship and serve.
07:52But like I said, we'll look at that in just a minute.
07:53However, the word that's commonly translated as worship in a lot of Bibles
07:59is often meant nowadays, or in the original language, or the original time it was translated,
08:05it often meant the act of physically bowing or prostrating oneself,
08:10and that could be done to either kings or other men, other humans, to Yahweh, or anyone.
08:19That's what worship means in the translations they use.
08:23And that comes as a paradigm shift to a lot of people,
08:27because people think that, oh, the Bible says you should worship Yahweh alone,
08:33and only Him shall you worship.
08:36And then we look through the rest of scriptures, and we see other people like Esau,
08:41I'm sorry, Jacob, worshiping Esau.
08:44Now, you don't get that in modern translations as much,
08:47but you look in translations like the Wycliffe, and it does say that Jacob worshipped Esau,
08:55that Bathsheba worshipped Solomon, that's etc., etc.
09:03And we get flabbergasted, thinking, oh man, they're being idolatrous.
09:07But no, what they meant by worship is this simply showing respect, giving honor and homage.
09:13It's not the same thing that we think of when we think of worship today.
09:19There are two different things here at play.
09:21There's the concept that's trying to be conveyed,
09:24and then there is the worship that we, I'm sorry, the word that we understand when we read it.
09:31And that could be two different things, because the concept is pretty much going to remain the same.
09:36They're always trying to convey and get across a particular concept and teach that.
09:41But they have to phrase it in certain language, and that language is whatever language is of the day.
09:48Back in the day of the King James, worship meant something different than it does nowadays.
09:52That's why we get confused when we read outdated translations like the King James.
09:58When it says things like adding leaven to meat.
10:02Well, why would you add leaven to meat?
10:04Leaven makes bread rise, and it doesn't make meat rise.
10:08Well, meat has changed over time.
10:10Various examples like that, but same thing with worship.
10:13The concept that is trying to get across with worship,
10:18that understanding of the concept of worship has changed over time.
10:22So you've got the concept that's trying to be conveyed,
10:25and the word that is being used in the translation.
10:29And sometimes they don't always align like they should,
10:33and worship is one of those.
10:35Let me show you some proof from Scripture instead of just all this talk right now.
10:41Let's go back to the point made earlier,
10:42that a lot of people say that the Bible teaches us to only worship Yahweh.
10:49Real quick, think about that, and think of, you can find the verse in Scripture where it actually says that.
11:00Feel free to even Google it, or do a web search, or ask an AI.
11:04That'll help you out too.
11:06And see if you can find the verse where it says,
11:09You shall only worship Yahweh.
11:13You shall worship only Yahweh.
11:15Those two words, worship and only, together.
11:18See if you can find that.
11:20All right.
11:21Gave a little bit of a chance, but we'll get on moving on.
11:23Let me give it to you real quick.
11:24This is what, probably the verse that most people would point to when asked that question.
11:30It's going to be Luke chapter 4 and verse 8.
11:33This is Yeshua speaking, and he's speaking to HaSatan, the adversary, as he's being tempted in the wilderness.
11:40And here in Luke chapter 4, verse 8, Yeshua says this,
11:44And Yeshua answering him said,
11:46Get behind me, Satan, for it has been written,
11:49You shall worship Yahweh your Elohim, and him only you shall serve.
11:56Now if we're just going off the translation and the words that were used there,
11:59what Yeshua is telling Satan is that we are to only serve Yahweh.
12:06He's the only one we're to serve, but Yahweh's not the only one we're to worship.
12:11That seems absolutely blasphemous when a modern-day Christian hears that.
12:17But it's really not, because they're not understanding how the words have changed over time.
12:24It actually should be understood in a different way.
12:28You shall worship, or give what they call homage, or obeisance, to Yahweh your Elohim,
12:38and him only you shall worship.
12:41Because worship, as we understand it nowadays,
12:45is more correctly understood as service, or obedience, or doing what the will of that which we are worshiping.
12:54And that could be whatever.
12:55To be ourselves, we do whatever we want to do, and to heck with anybody else,
13:01that's worshiping ourselves in a modern context.
13:03But it's not in the biblical context.
13:05And here is some examples you can see here,
13:08where it's that first part where it says,
13:09You shall worship Yahweh your Elohim.
13:12In the Legacy Standard Bible, it has pretty much the same thing.
13:15You shall worship the Lord your God.
13:17In the Hawais, it says,
13:20Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God.
13:21In the 20th century, this is very, very interesting.
13:25This has got it switched around the way it should be for modern times.
13:29And it says,
13:29Thou shalt do homage to the Lord thy God, and worship Him only.
13:34In that translation, you can actually find the verse that says,
13:37Only Yahweh shall you worship.
13:40Anyways, moving on.
13:43In the MLV, it has you will be worshiping the Lord your God.
13:47And then in the CLV, it has the Lord your God.
13:51He shall you be worshiping.
13:53Very, very few translations actually have that exact wording,
13:57You shall worship only Yahweh, or you shall worship only God.
14:01Very, very few translations have that.
14:03And a lot of those translations have the word worship for other people.
14:07Now here, excuse me, here in the Brut Hadashah,
14:11there's two different words that is mostly used for translating into the English word worship.
14:18And that is the Greek word proskuneo and the Greek word latreo.
14:24Proskuneo is something that encapsulates the concept of giving respect,
14:32or homage, or obeisance to someone else.
14:36Usually someone of a higher rank, a higher social class,
14:39or someone who just has earned the honor to be knelt before,
14:46or to be prostrated before, or things like that.
14:50And you see this all the time, even in cultures nowadays.
14:53And like Asian Oriental cultures, they'll bow before the emperor,
14:58or a general, or a legislator, or something like that.
15:03They'll still do it nowadays.
15:05And that's what they're giving there by giving obeisance, or honor, or proskuneo.
15:10The other Greek word commonly translated into the English word worship nowadays
15:14is the word latreo.
15:16And latreo means divine service, divine obedience, divine worship.
15:24Like the kind of worship we think of nowadays.
15:28Unfortunately, in a lot of translations like the King James and others,
15:31they don't translate latreo as worship like they should nowadays.
15:35They translate it as serve.
15:38And here is a prime example of both those words in one verse.
15:41Here, Yeshua says,
15:44You shall latreo, I'm sorry,
15:46You shall proskuneo, Yahweh your Elohim,
15:49and him only, you shall latreo.
15:53Now, it's getting really nerdy right now.
15:55I understand that.
15:56But that's kind of the guy I am.
15:58But yeah, our modern understanding of worship
16:01should most correctly be mapped out to the word serve
16:07in most English translations nowadays.
16:10And understand that if you're reading the King James
16:13or a lot of other translations that are based on the King James,
16:16when it says worship,
16:18it usually means give honor, give respect,
16:21do homage, do obeisance, and things like that.
16:24So, that is example after example after explanation.
16:33Hopefully, everyone's tracking.
16:34If you don't, put it in the chat.
16:37I'll try to answer that for anyone who is here in the chat.
16:40Let me check the Rumble chat.
16:42Make sure to.
16:44Or you can write to us at team at godhonesttruth.com
16:47and we will also try to answer your questions through there as well,
16:51trying to explain it even better.
16:53But yeah, that is how worship and service is in Scripture
16:57and how worship is nowadays and kind of the difference between it.
17:01But, going on and getting more on point for our drosh tonight,
17:08this comes from Exodus chapter 20, verse 4-5.
17:12You do not make for yourself a carved image
17:15or any likeness of that which is in the heavens above
17:17or which is in the earth beneath
17:19or which is in the waters under the earth.
17:22You do not bow down to them nor serve them.
17:25For I, Yahweh, your Elohim, am a jealous El,
17:28visiting the crookedness of the fathers on the children
17:31to the third and fourth generations of those who hate me.
17:35So, here's another example of where the concept of doing honor and respect
17:46is included in the same verse
17:49as the concept of giving divine service or worship to.
17:54Here in the first part, it has it translated as
17:58you do not bow down to them.
18:01That is portraying the concept of giving respect
18:05or honor or homage.
18:07Certain translations do translate this as worship still
18:11like the Legacy Standard Bible
18:13and others as well.
18:16I didn't put the other ones up there, unfortunately.
18:19We'll get into a lot of examples like this.
18:21However, the second part of that sentence,
18:24nor serve them,
18:25this is where it should be translated as worship.
18:27You do not bow down to them nor worship them.
18:31And some translations actually have it translated correctly
18:34like that, at least for modern understanding of the word worship.
18:39Here in the Wycliffe,
18:41well, all the way back in Wycliffe anyways,
18:45it has it translated correctly
18:47in our understanding of worship in modern times.
18:50Neither worship them.
18:52The MSB translation has it as
18:54or worship them.
18:55Bible in basic English,
18:57which is not really a translation.
18:59It's more of a summary of paraphrase,
19:00but I put it in here just to show that,
19:02hey, a broken clock is right twice a day.
19:05But Bible in basic English has that second part as
19:08or give them worship.
19:10So even in Hebrew,
19:11it has the same kind of differences
19:14between rendering homage,
19:16rendering respect and admiration or obeisance.
19:20And it also has the concept of divine service.
19:25And this is a good section of scripture
19:28to show both of those in one passage.
19:32Going on,
19:33Deuteronomy chapter 16,
19:34verse 21.
19:36Getting even more
19:37to the point of our teaching tonight
19:42or our topic tonight.
19:43Deuteronomy chapter 16,
19:44verse 21.
19:45Do not plant for yourself
19:47any tree as an Asherah
19:49near the slaughter place
19:50of Yahweh your Elohim
19:51that you make for yourself.
19:54And this can be translated
19:55a number of different ways,
19:58but basically it's getting
20:00the concept through
20:02that you've heard this word Asherah
20:04or Asherim or etc.
20:06Any kind of variation on that.
20:09But most people don't understand
20:10what an Asherah is
20:12or Asherim
20:13or Asherot
20:14or things like that.
20:14And if you would like
20:15more information,
20:16we have the nerdy definitions
20:18and lexicon entries
20:20and stuff like that
20:21in our notes on our website.
20:23So go check that out.
20:24But an Asherah is,
20:26especially back in that time,
20:28definitely something wooden
20:30the vast majority of the times.
20:32It could also be a stone pillar,
20:35think obelisk,
20:36but a lot of times
20:37it had to deal with stuff
20:38that was wooden.
20:40And what is something
20:41that is wooden?
20:43A tree.
20:44And even a living,
20:46live tree as well.
20:49This is something
20:50that actually proves that
20:52from scripture.
20:53It says,
20:54do not plant for yourself
20:56a tree
20:57as in Asherah.
20:59It says,
21:00do not plant
21:01a tree.
21:03You don't plant
21:05something that's dead
21:06and cut down.
21:07Most people don't.
21:08You plant something
21:09that is alive
21:11and you want it
21:11to continue to grow.
21:13But as we covered
21:14in the episode
21:15on dendrolatry,
21:17these pagan cultures
21:18and these pagan sun god religions,
21:20they used trees
21:22and groves of trees
21:24and leafy shrubs
21:26and all kinds of stuff
21:27as part of their worship
21:29of these pagan gods.
21:31And this is something
21:31that's referencing
21:32that very concept
21:34of dendrolatry.
21:36It says,
21:37that you do not
21:37plant for yourself
21:38any tree as in Asherah.
21:39According to the King James,
21:41thou shalt not plant
21:42thee a grove
21:43of any tree.
21:45Again,
21:45Asherah could be
21:46a dead pole
21:48that's made of wood.
21:49It could be a tree.
21:50It could be a grove
21:52of trees.
21:52Any kind of thing
21:53like that
21:54would be
21:55considered
21:56an Asherah.
21:57starting to be
21:59a little more clear
22:00as it relates
22:01to our subject at hand?
22:03Hope so.
22:04Yeah,
22:05an Asherah can be
22:06an actual living tree
22:08or it can be
22:09a dead tree
22:10that's been cut down.
22:11We'll get into that
22:11in just a moment.
22:13Then it can also be stone,
22:14but most of the time
22:15it's usually
22:16something wooden.
22:18A living tree
22:18or a cut tree
22:20or a shaped
22:21and sculpted
22:23wooden thing
22:25but usually
22:26made of wood.
22:27That's an Asherah.
22:30In various translations
22:31right here
22:31you can look there
22:32and see how
22:33they translated
22:34this particular verse
22:35in various different ways
22:36but it's all pretty much
22:37meaning the same thing.
22:38It's something that's pagan
22:39and something that we
22:41should not be doing.
22:43Going on into
22:441 Kings chapter 14
22:45verses 22
22:46through 23.
22:48And Yehudah
22:49did evil
22:50in the eyes
22:51of Yahweh
22:51and they provoked him
22:52to jealousy
22:53with their sins
22:54which they committed
22:55more than all
22:57that their fathers
22:57had done
22:58for they also
22:59built for themselves
23:00high places
23:01and pillars
23:02and Asharim
23:04on every high hill
23:06and under every
23:07green tree.
23:09So once again
23:10it's talking about
23:11the Judeans
23:12it's talking about
23:13the southern kingdom
23:14at this point
23:14it's talking about
23:16the Judeans
23:17doing things that are
23:18evil and sinful
23:20and what are some of these
23:20things that they are doing
23:21that is evil
23:23and sinful
23:23building high places
23:25to pagan gods
23:26building pillars
23:27for pagan gods
23:28using Asherah
23:30or planting Asherah
23:31for these pagan gods
23:33and green trees
23:35for pagan gods.
23:37So even in scripture
23:38it doesn't use
23:39the word dendrolatry
23:40but the concept
23:42is there
23:43for dendrolatry
23:44within paganism
23:45and this is one
23:46of many many
23:47verses in scripture
23:48that deals with
23:50the use of
23:52trees or shrubs
23:54within
23:54the act of paganism.
23:58Went on into
23:59Jeremiah chapter 10
24:01verses 2 through 5
24:02and this is probably
24:03one of the most
24:04famous sections
24:06for the subject
24:07of Christmas.
24:09So let's read that
24:10real quick.
24:11Jeremiah chapter 10
24:12verses 2 through 5
24:13Thus said Yahweh
24:15Do not learn
24:16the way
24:17of the nations
24:18and do not be
24:19awed by the signs
24:20of the heavens
24:21for the nations
24:21are awed by them.
24:23The laws of these
24:24peoples are worthless
24:25for one cuts a tree
24:27from the forest
24:28work for the hands
24:29of a craftsman
24:30with a cutting tool
24:31they beautify it
24:32with silver and gold
24:33they strengthen it
24:34with nails and hammers
24:35so that it does not topple.
24:37They are like a rounded
24:37post and they do not
24:39speak
24:39they have to be carried
24:40because they do not
24:42walk.
24:43Do not be afraid of them
24:44for they do no evil
24:45nor is it in them
24:47to do any good.
24:49So what are they
24:50talking about here?
24:51Well a lot of people
24:52will say
24:52well it's talking about
24:54creating a carved
24:56image
24:56a carved
24:57idol.
24:59That's the
25:00that's
25:01that's one interpretation
25:02I'll give them that
25:03but that's not the
25:04only interpretation
25:05that's definitely
25:06not exactly
25:07and specifically
25:08what it's talking
25:08about here.
25:09Just use your mind
25:11people
25:12please
25:13just read this
25:14it says here
25:15do not learn
25:16the way
25:17of the nations
25:17remember that
25:18we're going to get
25:19to the nuances
25:20of that in just a minute
25:21the way of the
25:22nations
25:23and do not be awed
25:25by the signs
25:25of the heavens
25:26for the nations
25:26are awed by them
25:27for the laws
25:28of these people
25:29are worthless
25:30now pay attention
25:31right here
25:32and just picture
25:33in your mind
25:33someone doing
25:34these very things
25:35that the Bible
25:36is warning us
25:37against
25:37so go in your mind
25:40and start imagining
25:41this as I read it
25:42for one cuts
25:44a tree
25:44from the forest
25:46can you
25:48for the sake
25:50of all that is
25:51good and holy
25:52can you think
25:52of anything
25:53or anyone
25:54that would go out
25:56and cut
25:57a tree
25:57from the forest
25:59wild guess
26:04does that bring
26:04anything to mind
26:05maybe a couple
26:07possibilities
26:07okay
26:08let's see if we can
26:09narrow it down
26:10it continues here
26:11so keep in mind
26:12your picture here
26:13and keep imagining
26:14it says
26:15one cuts a tree
26:16from the forest
26:17work for the hands
26:18of a craftsman
26:18with a cutting tool
26:19then it goes on
26:20and they say
26:21they beautify it
26:23with silver
26:24and gold
26:25what do people
26:28do nowadays
26:29that they beautify
26:31something with
26:31silver and gold
26:32and it goes on
26:34they strengthen it
26:35with nails and hammer
26:36so that it does
26:37not topple
26:41this
26:43if that's not
26:45describing
26:45the practice
26:47of a Christmas tree
26:48I don't know
26:50what is
26:51that pretty much
26:52spells it out
26:54point for point
26:56without actually
26:57saying
26:58hey this is
26:59Christmas tree
26:59I mean how do you
27:02say this is a
27:03Christmas tree
27:03without actually
27:04saying
27:05these words
27:06specifically
27:07this is a
27:08Christmas tree
27:08yeah
27:09it's talking
27:10about these
27:10other nations
27:12that are doing
27:14this thing
27:14about cutting
27:15a tree
27:15from the forest
27:16beautifying it
27:17with silver
27:17and gold
27:18decorating it
27:19and then
27:19securing it
27:20down so it
27:21doesn't topple
27:21what does
27:23that sound
27:24like to you
27:25but it goes
27:26on to give
27:26you a little
27:27bit of hope
27:27it says
27:28do not be
27:29afraid of it
27:29do not be
27:30afraid of the
27:30Christmas tree
27:31because it
27:32cannot do evil
27:33even though it
27:34may be evil
27:35it cannot do
27:35evil
27:36and it
27:37is not
27:37in the
27:38Christmas tree
27:38to do
27:39any good
27:39either
27:40so it's
27:40a waste
27:41of time
27:41why even
27:43do it
27:43but this
27:44first part
27:45right here
27:45here's another
27:46point I'd like
27:47to get across
27:48in this particular
27:49teaching
27:49that first part
27:51says do not
27:51learn the way
27:52of the nations
27:53now earlier
27:54we talked about
27:55the difference
27:55between the
27:56concept that
27:57the scripture
27:58is trying to
27:58put across
27:59and the word
28:00that is
28:01translated
28:03as representing
28:04the concept
28:06here
28:06when it says
28:07do not learn
28:07the way
28:08of the
28:08nations
28:09the concept
28:11that's trying
28:11to be
28:12portrayed
28:13and put
28:13forth
28:14is
28:15people
28:15or people
28:16groups
28:17other than
28:18those in
28:19covenant
28:19with Yahweh
28:20a group
28:22of people
28:23or everyone
28:24else
28:24who is not
28:26one of
28:26Yahweh's
28:27people
28:27that's the
28:29concept
28:29it's trying
28:30to put
28:30forth
28:30and
28:31as such
28:32it's actually
28:33translated
28:33in different
28:34ways
28:34depending on
28:35who
28:35excuse me
28:36depending on
28:37who is
28:37translated
28:38and when
28:39it's being
28:39translated
28:40for instance
28:42we look at
28:42the King
28:43James version
28:44and it says
28:44do not
28:45learn the
28:46way of
28:47the heathen
28:48heathen
28:49in the
28:50Douai rhymes
28:51it says
28:52learn not
28:53according to
28:53the ways
28:54of the
28:55Gentiles
28:56Gentiles
28:58ever heard
28:59that word
28:59before
29:00yeah
29:02that's
29:03another
29:03word
29:03that has
29:04changed
29:04over
29:05time
29:05even
29:06here
29:06you can
29:06see
29:06in
29:06the
29:07Latin
29:07Vulgate
29:08it uses
29:08the Latin
29:09word for
29:10Gentile
29:10but still
29:11the same
29:11concept
29:12the concept
29:13is
29:14people who
29:15are not
29:15in covenant
29:16with
29:17Yahweh
29:17who are
29:17not one
29:18of
29:18Yahweh's
29:18people
29:19and it
29:20drives me
29:21batty
29:22when people
29:22say that
29:23modern
29:24Christians
29:24are
29:25Gentiles
29:26and they
29:27say this
29:28in order
29:28to justify
29:29not doing
29:30the things
29:31of scripture
29:31and continuing
29:33in their
29:34old ways
29:34they should
29:35be getting
29:35rid of
29:36say well
29:36oh that's
29:37a Gentile
29:37way
29:38not a
29:38Jewish
29:38way
29:39and it's
29:39a continuation
29:40of the
29:41anti-Semitism
29:41that started
29:42long ago
29:43way back
29:44in the
29:45second
29:46third
29:46and fourth
29:46centuries
29:47but yeah
29:48let it be
29:49known
29:49that Gentile
29:50means
29:51people
29:52other
29:52than those
29:53who are
29:53in covenant
29:54with Yahweh
29:54people who
29:55are not
29:56the people
29:57of Yahweh
29:57pagans
29:58heathens
29:58things like
29:59that
30:00and it's
30:01translated as
30:01such in
30:02various
30:03translations
30:04other
30:05translations
30:06such as
30:06the Spanish
30:07Jubilee
30:07Bible

30:08the Spanish
30:09word for
30:09Gentile

30:11Finnish
30:12Bible

30:28look that
30:28up on the
30:28link I

30:32the word
30:33for Gentiles
30:33but the
30:34concept

30:35portrayed
30:35is
30:36someone
30:36other
30:37than
30:38those
30:39who are
30:39in covenant
30:40with
30:41Yahweh
30:41so in
30:42a modern
30:43context
30:44or a
30:45modern way
30:45of putting
30:45it
30:46in a
30:46modern
30:47context
30:47a
30:47Gentile
30:49is not
30:50someone who
30:51is saved
30:51you're either
30:52saved and
30:53born again
30:54or
30:55you're a
30:56Gentile
30:57and which
30:59do you
30:59want to
30:59be
31:00you want
31:00to be
31:01a
31:01saved
31:02born again
31:03Christian

31:04or however
31:04you want
31:04to put it
31:05or
31:06on the
31:06other
31:07hand
31:07you want
31:07to be
31:08a
31:08Gentile
31:09we'll get
31:10into some
31:10more verses
31:10on that
31:11in just a
31:11moment
31:12especially
31:12in the
31:12Brit Hadashah
31:13because even
31:14the Apostle
31:15Paul says
31:15the exact
31:16same thing
31:17we'll get there
31:18in just a
31:18moment but
31:19here is the
31:20etymological
31:20progression
31:22of the word
31:23Gentile
31:24this comes
31:24from
31:25Edom
31:25online
31:26again you
31:27can find
31:27that link
31:28as well as
31:28the information
31:29in the
31:29notes go
31:30check that
31:30out on
31:31our website
31:32but it
31:33says here
31:34that Gentile
31:35is number
31:36one one
31:36who is not
31:37a Jew
31:37and that's
31:38pretty much
31:38the modern
31:39understanding
31:40of what
31:41Gentile is
31:41but that's
31:42not what
31:42the Bible
31:43uses for
31:43the word
31:44Gentile
31:44and the
31:46Edom
31:46online entry
31:47also has
31:47that as
31:48well it
31:48says
31:49earlier
31:49than
31:491400
31:50Gentile
31:51meant
31:51one
31:52who
31:52is
31:52not
31:53a
31:53Christian
31:53in other
31:54words
31:54a pagan
31:55it also
31:56mean
31:56men
31:57of a
31:57family
31:58persons
31:58belonging
31:59to the
31:59same
31:59family
31:59fellow
32:00countrymen
32:00kinsmen
32:00etc
32:01etc
32:01but also
32:02it can
32:03mean
32:03foreigners
32:04or
32:04barbarians
32:05meaning
32:06someone
32:06who
32:06was
32:07not
32:07Roman
32:07so
32:09it's
32:09got
32:09different
32:09uses
32:10but
32:10generally
32:11it means
32:11someone
32:11other
32:12than
32:12those
32:13in
32:13covenant
32:13with
32:14Yahweh
32:14and it
32:16also
32:16goes on
32:16in that
32:17entry
32:17to say
32:17the Latin
32:18word
32:18then
32:19was used
32:20in the
32:20Vulgate
32:20to translate
32:21Greek
32:21ethnicos
32:22which
32:22translated
32:23Hebrew
32:24hagoyim
32:24after the
32:25Christianization
32:26of Rome
32:27gentilis
32:28also could
32:28mean
32:29pagans
32:29or heathens
32:30as opposed
32:31to
32:32Christians
32:32so
32:34so
32:34that's
32:34a little
32:34bit

32:39and
32:39didn't
32:39pick up
32:39on that
32:40already
32:40but the
32:41way that
32:42the word
32:42has been
32:42used
32:43for most
32:43of
32:43history
32:44and especially
32:45in scripture
32:46when it uses
32:47the word
32:47gentile
32:48it means
32:48someone
32:49who is
32:49not
32:50saved
32:50gentile
32:51in the
32:51bible
32:51means

32:53Christian
32:53not

32:58either be

32:59Christian
33:00or messianic
33:00or
33:02you can
33:03be a
33:03gentile
33:03but this
33:06continues
33:06it's not
33:07just
33:07trees
33:08but all
33:08kinds
33:08of
33:09various
33:09pagan
33:09practices
33:10that
33:11get
33:11prohibited
33:12and condemned
33:13and says
33:14do not
33:15do this
33:16let's look
33:17at
33:17Deuteronomy
33:18chapter 12
33:18verses 1
33:19through 4
33:20these are the
33:21laws and
33:21right rulings
33:22which you
33:22guard to do
33:23in the land
33:24which Yahweh
33:24Elohim
33:25of your
33:25fathers
33:26is given
33:26you to
33:27possess
33:27all the
33:28days that
33:28you live
33:29on the
33:29soil
33:29completely
33:30destroy
33:31all the
33:32places
33:32where the
33:32nations
33:33which you
33:33are dispossessing
33:34serve their
33:35mighty ones
33:36or gods
33:36on the high
33:38mountains
33:38and on the
33:38hills
33:39and under
33:39every
33:40green
33:41tree
33:41and you
33:42shall
33:42break down
33:43their
33:43slaughtered
33:43places
33:43and smash
33:44their
33:44pillars
33:45and burn
33:46their
33:46asherim
33:47with fire
33:48and you
33:48shall cut
33:49down the
33:50carved
33:50images of
33:50their
33:51mighty
33:51ones
33:51and shall
33:51destroy
33:52their name
33:53out of
33:53that
33:53place
33:54do not
33:54do so
33:55to
33:56Yahweh
33:56your
33:57Elohim
33:57so again
33:59this goes
34:00back to
34:01the
34:01biblical
34:02concept
34:02of
34:03what we
34:04should do
34:05to
34:05Yahweh
34:06alone
34:06and that
34:07is serve
34:07him
34:08and do
34:08his
34:09laws
34:09and his
34:10right
34:10rulings
34:11and be
34:11obedient
34:12to him
34:13in the
34:13way he
34:13tells us
34:14to live
34:14our lives
34:15number
34:16two
34:16another
34:16point
34:17in this
34:17particular
34:17passage
34:18notice
34:18there
34:19it says
34:19to
34:19burn
34:20their
34:20asherim
34:21with
34:21fire
34:21burn
34:22their
34:22asherah
34:22with
34:23fire
34:23you don't
34:24burn
34:24stone
34:25you don't
34:25burn
34:26metal
34:26you burn
34:27wood
34:28so again
34:29going back
34:30to that
34:30whole point
34:30that asherim
34:31was made
34:32of wood
34:32a wooden
34:33carved pole
34:34a cut
34:35wooden tree
34:36or a living
34:37wooden tree
34:38or a grove
34:39of trees
34:39even as we
34:40covered earlier
34:41that is asherim
34:42but it also
34:44says you
34:45shall not
34:45do these
34:46things
34:46that is
34:47described
34:47to
34:48Yahweh
34:49himself
34:50these are
34:51pagan
34:51practices
34:52that you
34:52are not
34:52to do
34:53to
34:53Yahweh
34:54clear enough
34:56going on
34:57looking in
34:58Deuteronomy
34:58chapter 12
34:59verses 29
35:00through 31
35:00when Yahweh
35:02your Elohim
35:02does cut off
35:03from before you
35:04the nations
35:04which you
35:05go to
35:05dispossess
35:06and you
35:06dispossess
35:07them and
35:07dwell in
35:08their land
35:08guard
35:09yourself
35:09that you
35:10are not
35:10ensnared
35:11to follow
35:11them
35:12after they
35:13are destroyed
35:13from before
35:14you
35:14and that
35:15you do
35:15not inquire
35:16about their
35:16mighty ones
35:17saying
35:17how did
35:18these nations
35:19serve their
35:19mighty ones
35:20and let me
35:21do so
35:21too
35:21do not
35:23do so
35:23to Yahweh
35:24your Elohim
35:24for every
35:25abomination
35:26which Yahweh
35:27hates
35:28they have done
35:29to their
35:29mighty ones
35:30for they
35:30even burn
35:31their sons
35:31and daughters
35:32in the fire
35:33to their
35:34mighty ones
35:35so
35:36this is
35:38really good
35:39as well
35:39it says
35:40that when you
35:41meet these
35:42other pagans
35:43I'm sorry
35:44when you
35:44meet these
35:45pagans
35:45and you
35:46move them
35:47out of the
35:47promised land
35:48and this is
35:50something that
35:50goes across
35:51all of the
35:51earth
35:52not just
35:52the promised
35:52land
35:53but when you
35:54go out and
35:55you dispossess
35:55them or you're
35:56living in that
35:56land
35:57do not do
35:57after the
35:58ways they
35:59do to
35:59their pagan
36:00gods
36:00do not do
36:01that to
36:02Yahweh
36:03he hates
36:03that
36:04and these
36:05pagans
36:06they do
36:06all sorts
36:07of horrible
36:08and nasty
36:08things that
36:09Yahweh hates
36:10and he goes
36:10on to give
36:11one example
36:12they burn
36:13their children
36:14in the fire
36:15to their
36:17gods
36:17and that's
36:19the sort
36:19of thing
36:19that Yahweh
36:20doesn't want
36:21now why
36:22were they
36:22burning their
36:22children in
36:23the fire
36:24to their
36:24god
36:24their
36:25molek
36:26or baal
36:27or whoever
36:27it was
36:28well because
36:29they were
36:29told to
36:30by whatever
36:31priest or
36:32oracle
36:34or whatever
36:35it was
36:35that was
36:36part of
36:36their particular
36:37cult
36:37they were
36:39told to do
36:39so and they
36:39were being
36:40obedient to
36:41that god
36:41or at least
36:43what they
36:43thought was
36:44that god
36:44in their
36:45particular
36:46rules
36:47and that's
36:48the things
36:49they did
36:50because they
36:50worshipped
36:50those gods
36:51and Yahweh
36:52says do
36:53not do
36:53that to
36:54me
36:55do not
36:56do that
36:57the way
36:57the pagans
36:58did to
36:58their pagan
36:59gods
36:59it seems
37:01simple enough
37:02but people
37:02reject and
37:03ignore the
37:04Tanakh
37:05what's
37:05commonly
37:06referred to
37:06as the
37:07Old Testament
37:07they don't
37:09know this
37:09because they
37:09don't read
37:10it and
37:10they don't
37:10give it
37:11any
37:11attention
37:11but yeah
37:13it says
37:14do not
37:14worship
37:15God
37:15do not
37:16worship
37:16Yahweh
37:17in pagan
37:18ways
37:19don't do
37:20it
37:20that is
37:20the
37:21biblical
37:21stance
37:22on
37:23worship
37:23of other
37:24gods
37:24going on
37:25Deuteronomy
37:25chapter 18
37:26verse 9
37:27when you

37:29which Yahweh
37:30your Elohim

41:14there's
41:14these
41:14other
41:14Gentiles
41:15that's not
41:16what the
41:16original

41:25they're
41:26called
41:26Gentiles
41:26and we're
41:27not supposed
41:28to do
41:28as the
41:29Gentiles
41:29do
41:29so yeah
41:30you are
41:31no longer
41:32a Gentile
41:32once you
41:33become
41:33saved
41:34and born

41:34that's
41:35something
41:35that you're
41:36supposed to
41:36leave behind
41:37not do
41:37again
41:38because you're
41:39now
41:40worshiping
41:40and serving
41:41and obeying
41:42Yahweh
41:42and his
41:43word
41:43not the way
41:44you were
41:45doing things
41:45going on
41:47in 1 Peter
41:47chapter 4
41:48verses 1
41:49through 4
41:50therefore
41:51since Messiah
41:52suffered in
41:53the flesh
41:53arm yourselves
41:54also with
41:55the same
41:55mind
41:56because he
41:57who has
41:57suffered
41:57in the
41:58flesh
41:58has ceased
41:59from sin
42:00so that he
42:00no longer
42:00lives
42:01the rest
42:02of his
42:02time
42:02in the
42:03flesh
42:03for the
42:03lust
42:04of men
42:04but according
42:05to the
42:05desire
42:06of Elohim
42:06for we
42:08have spent
42:08enough
42:09of our
42:09past
42:10lifetime
42:10in doing
42:11the desire
42:12of the
42:12nations
42:13having
42:14walked in
42:14indecencies
42:15lust
42:16drunkenness
42:16orgies
42:17wild parties
42:18and abominable
42:19idolatries
42:19in which
42:20they are
42:20surprised
42:21that you
42:22do not
42:22run
42:22with them
42:23in the
42:23same
42:24flood
42:24of
42:24loose
42:24behavior
42:25blasphemy
42:26now
42:28I know
42:28this is
42:28probably
42:29beating a
42:29dead horse
42:29at this
42:30point
42:30but let's
42:31look at
42:31this one
42:31more time
42:32it says
42:32we have
42:33spent
42:33enough
42:33of our
42:34past
42:34lifetime
42:34in doing
42:35the
42:35desire
42:36of the
42:36nations
42:37again
42:38the concept
42:39is
42:39doing
42:40the desire
42:40of those
42:41who are
42:41not
42:41saved
42:42doing
42:42the desire
42:43of
42:43the
42:44Gentiles
42:44doing
42:45the desire
42:45of the
42:46pagans
42:47doing
42:47the desire
42:47of the
42:48heathen
42:49so
42:50what is
42:52these
42:52unsaved
42:53people
42:53these
42:54Gentiles
42:55what is it
42:55talking about
42:55they're doing
42:56they're doing
42:57indecencies
42:58they're doing
42:58lust
42:59they're doing
42:59drunkenness
43:00they're doing
43:00orgies
43:01they're doing
43:01wild parties
43:02they're doing
43:02abominable
43:03idolatries
43:04etc
43:05etc
43:05etc
43:05these
43:06these
43:06are the
43:06things
43:06that the
43:07unsaved
43:08these
43:08are the
43:08things
43:09that the
43:09pagans
43:09these
43:10are the
43:10things
43:10that the
43:11Gentiles
43:12do
43:12this is not
43:14stuff
43:15that the
43:15saved
43:16the born
43:17again
43:17people of
43:18Yahweh
43:19do
43:19it's
43:20contrasting
43:21between the
43:22Gentiles
43:22and the
43:23people of
43:23Yahweh
43:24so if you're
43:26watching this
43:26right now
43:27I really
43:27really hope
43:28this has come
43:28across
43:29and that you
43:30understand
43:30what's going
43:31on here
43:31is that
43:33if you want
43:33to be
43:34a biblically
43:35based and
43:36biblically
43:37minded
43:37kind of
43:38Christian
43:38or messianic
43:40or whichever
43:40term you want
43:41to use
43:41it's fine
43:41they're both
43:42the same
43:42thing in my
43:42opinion
43:43if you want
43:44to be
43:45biblically
43:45based
43:45you have to
43:47start understanding
43:48that you are
43:49not a Gentile
43:50if you were
43:50born and
43:50saved again
43:51you are
43:53no longer
43:54a Gentile
43:55you are now
43:57a child
43:58of Yahweh
43:59and you are
44:00to go
44:01by his
44:02will
44:03his
44:03instructions
44:04the way
44:05he says
44:06to do
44:06things
44:06so
44:09this
44:10excuse
44:10that
44:11modern
44:11people
44:12within
44:13churchianity
44:13have
44:14is that
44:15oh
44:15the Jews
44:16do
44:16the
44:17first
44:17two
44:18thirds
44:18of the
44:18Bible
44:18but
44:19us
44:19Gentiles
44:20we do
44:22whatever
44:23we want
44:23basically
44:23but they
44:24say it's
44:25the
44:25New Testament
44:26and then
44:26only the
44:27parts
44:27they like
44:27but
44:28no
44:30again
44:31and I
44:32know
44:32this
44:32is
44:32being
44:32a
44:33dead
44:33horse
44:33but
44:33it's
44:34I
44:34believe
44:34it's
44:35important
44:35especially
44:35for those
44:36within
44:36modern
44:36churchianity
44:37either
44:38you are
44:38a
44:39Gentile
44:39or
44:40you are
44:41saved
44:41and born
44:42again
44:42but you
44:44are not
44:44a saved
44:44Gentile
44:45that's
44:45an oxymoron
44:46at least
44:47according
44:48to the way
44:48the Bible
44:49uses those
44:50terms
44:50so
44:52you can't
44:53use
44:53that
44:54excuse
44:54anymore
44:54for
44:55justifying
44:56these
44:57pagan
44:58practices
44:58and
44:59these
44:59idolatrous
44:59things
45:00have been
45:00brought
45:01in
45:01over
45:01almost
45:022000
45:03years
45:03into
45:03Christianity
45:04yeah
45:05I'll
45:07I'll
45:08leave it
45:08there
45:08anyways
45:09here's
45:09some
45:09things
45:10to
45:10think
45:10about
45:10and
45:11it's
45:12going
45:12to be
45:12very
45:12simple
45:13very
45:13easy
45:14because
45:14we've
45:14already
45:14covered
45:14most
45:15of
45:15this
45:15but
45:16when
45:16it
45:16talks
45:16about
45:17the
45:17when
45:17we
45:18talk
45:18about
45:18the
45:18worship
45:19of
45:19other
45:19gods
45:19what
45:19does
45:20that
45:20mean
45:20to
45:21worship
45:21another
45:22god
45:22or
45:22to
45:22include
45:23the
45:23worship
45:23of
45:24another
45:24god
45:25well
45:25basically
45:25it's
45:26like
45:26we
45:26covered
45:26before
45:26especially
45:27with
45:27the
45:28cult
45:28or
45:29the
45:29pagan
45:30worship
45:30of
45:31the
45:31god
45:32molek
45:32or
45:32the
45:33false
45:33god
45:33molek
45:34rather
45:34is that
45:36how do we
45:37know
45:37which god
45:38we're
45:38worshiping
45:38and when
45:39people
45:39look at
45:39us
45:40how do
45:40they
45:40know
45:41which god
45:42that we
45:42are
45:42worshiping
45:43well
45:44there's
45:44different
45:44things
45:45that
45:45tell
45:46us
45:47or tell
45:47other
45:47people
45:48which god
45:49it is
45:49that we
45:49worship
45:49and that's
45:50by
45:50what we
45:51do
45:51and also
45:52what we
45:53don't
45:53do
45:53and this
45:55really hits
45:57home and
45:58it's really
45:58apparent once
45:59you start
45:59thinking about
46:00it
46:00the basic
46:02and really
46:02low hanging
46:03fruit from
46:05the bible
46:05is the
46:06sacrifice of
46:06children
46:07if you know
46:08somebody who's
46:09going around
46:09and they're
46:10cutting the
46:11throat of
46:11their three
46:12week old
46:12newborn
46:13and put
46:13them on
46:14a fire
46:15and burning
46:15them alive
46:16you know
46:17they're not
46:17Christian
46:18because there
46:19is zero
46:20justification
46:21from scripture
46:22for doing
46:23such an
46:23act
46:23so that
46:25right there
46:26tells you
46:26they are
46:27not a
46:28Christian
46:28or a
46:28messianic
46:29that would
46:30be the
46:31worship
46:31of the
46:32false god
46:33mole
46:33now
46:35in modern
46:36application
46:37this is
46:37it's going
46:38to be
46:38absolutely
46:39obvious
46:39when you
46:40start thinking
46:40about this
46:41if you
46:42see someone
46:43a co-worker
46:44some
46:45a neighbor
46:45someone
46:46who is
46:47celebrating
46:48ramadan
46:51and they
46:52tell you
46:53hey we're
46:53having a
46:53ramadan
46:54party
46:54or it's
46:55the month
46:55of ramadan
46:56etc etc
46:57you know
46:58they're not
46:58a Christian
46:59you know
47:00they are
47:01not born
47:01again
47:02they're not
47:02saved
47:02because that
47:04would make
47:04them a
47:04muslim
47:05they're
47:05worshipping
47:05a false
47:06god
47:07a fairy
47:07tale
47:08called
47:08Allah
47:09but
47:11by what
47:12we do
47:12by who
47:13we obey
47:13who we
47:14follow
47:15who we
47:15guide
47:16ourselves
47:16on
47:17that's
47:17how we
47:18know
47:18and how
47:19other people
47:19know
47:19who it
47:20is that
47:21we are
47:21worshipping
47:22now
47:24if we
47:26look at
47:26the Bible
47:27and we
47:28study
47:28and learn
47:29from the
47:29Bible
47:29and the
47:30Bible
47:30says
47:31do not
47:32use
47:32trees
47:34or do
47:34not use
47:35Asheram
47:35or Asherah
47:36poles
47:36or plant
47:37Asherah
47:38or decorate
47:40a cut
47:41tree
47:41and people
47:44are doing
47:45that
47:45does that
47:46mean they
47:47are Bible
47:48believing
47:48Yahweh
47:50following
47:50Christians
47:51or does
47:52that mean
47:53they are
47:53bringing
47:54in at
47:54the very
47:55least
47:55other
47:56stuff
47:56into the
47:58worship
47:58and trying
47:59to mix
47:59and mingle
48:00answer
48:02for yourselves
48:02I mean
48:03think about
48:04it now
48:04there's even
48:05a clear
48:06separation
48:07and understanding
48:07between
48:09those of
48:09us
48:10within
48:11the
48:11general
48:12overview
48:13of
48:14the people
48:15of Yahweh
48:16you got
48:16the mainstream
48:17churchianity
48:18and they
48:19do things
48:20like
48:20Sunday
48:21Sabbath
48:22which is
48:23not in
48:23the Bible
48:23they do
48:25things
48:25like
48:26Christmas
48:26and Easter
48:27which is
48:28not in
48:28the Bible
48:28they do
48:30things
48:30like
48:30reject
48:31Passover
48:33reject
48:34Shavuot
48:34reject
48:35Sukkot
48:35which is
48:37not in
48:37the Bible
48:37just the
48:38opposite
48:38actually
48:39so if
48:41you were
48:41looking at
48:41all the
48:42things
48:42they do
48:42and then
48:43you look
48:44at things
48:44that
48:44those of
48:45us who
48:45have like
48:46a messianic
48:46mindset
48:47and we
48:48keep
48:49the
48:49seventh
48:50day
48:50Sabbath
48:51which is
48:52in the
48:52Bible
48:53we keep
48:54Passover
48:55and Sukkot
48:55which is
48:56in the
48:56Bible
48:57we
48:58we keep
48:59all these
49:00things
49:00there's a
49:00clear distinction
49:01between
49:01these two
49:02groups
49:03so which
49:04one do
49:05you think
49:05is more
49:06closely
49:06more accurately
49:07following
49:08Yahweh
49:08in Scripture
49:09decide for
49:11yourselves
49:12now I'm
49:13not here to
49:13tell you that
49:14but it should
49:14be rather
49:14obvious at
49:15this point
49:16but yeah
49:17the point
49:17is that
49:18you can
49:18tell who
49:19it is
49:19that you
49:20worship
49:20or you
49:22can tell
49:22who it
49:23is that
49:23other people
49:24worship
49:24by what
49:25they do
49:25and also
49:26what they
49:27do not
49:27do
49:28so just
49:29keep that
49:30in mind
49:31as we
49:31go forward
49:31oh yeah
49:35so in
49:36summary
49:37the concept
49:39of worship
49:40in Scripture
49:41differs from
49:42our modern
49:43concept of
49:44worship
49:44and we
49:45went over
49:46that at
49:46the very
49:46beginning
49:47and somewhere
49:47around
49:48oh gosh
49:5012, 13,
49:511400
49:52something like
49:52that
49:52kind of
49:53started
49:53switching
49:54around
49:54but the
49:55biblical
49:56concept of
49:57worship
49:57is different
49:58than what we
49:59think of
49:59nowadays
49:59and you
50:00remember
50:00you got
50:00the concept
50:02that's trying
50:02to be
50:03portrayed
50:04and put
50:05forth
50:05and then
50:05you got
50:06the word
50:06that represents
50:07the concept
50:08and that word
50:09can change
50:10depending on
50:12who is
50:12translating
50:13and when
50:13they are
50:14translating
50:14it
50:15we are
50:16not to
50:17have any
50:17other gods
50:18in place
50:18of or
50:19in addition
50:20to
50:21Yahweh
50:22Yahweh
50:22wants our
50:23worship
50:23our obedience
50:24exclusively
50:26not mixed
50:27in with
50:28anyone else
50:28not
50:30in place
50:32of or
50:32second place
50:33to anyone
50:34else
