| 0:00.0 | What I've learned from going through the Old Testament, I've never gone through the entire Bible, |
| 0:04.4 | like in one, I was going to say in one sitting, but I, well, I don't know. |
| 0:08.0 | I'm definitely still not doing that. And this is going to sound a little, I don't mean to sound |
| 0:13.4 | heretical, but so I work with behavioral health patients, okay? And there's one side that is for |
| 0:19.1 | people who are like detoxing from alcohol and depressed, they try to kill themselves and we're |
| 0:25.0 | just like sorting out their meds and getting them safe. Then there's another side where they are |
| 0:29.7 | coming off of meth and PCP, a lot of them homeless and they are psychotic and they are not in our |
| 0:36.5 | state. They're not experiencing our same reality. The two different populations, even though they're |
| 0:40.8 | all behavioral health, they play by different rules. The one side, they play by our same social |
| 0:45.9 | rules. The other side, they have no clothes on a lot of the times and nothing is what you would |

| 1:03.9 | he does some stuff, he throws some tables over. He definitely was more about the people that were |
| 1:10.4 | overlooked in society, but he basically was about loving and doing the right thing and so he's a |
| 1:16.2 | little more not palatable, but you know what I mean? But the God of the Old Testament, wow, you do not |
| 1:23.4 | see the things coming that he's about to do. Sometimes, I mean, he forever forgives the Israelites, |
| 1:28.8 | but then everyone swells, the earth opens up and swells somebody up because they did the wrong thing. |
| 1:34.2 | However, other people have done that too when that didn't happen. Moses strikes a rock instead of |
| 1:40.0 | just talking to the rock and he doesn't even get to go in the Promised Land. You know, it just doesn't |
| 1:44.8 | add up, it doesn't make sense to us. And so I feel like the God of the Old Testament is what he's |
| 1:50.5 | wilds. Yeah. And that's the God of the New Testament. I'm not saying they're different, but I'm |
| 1:54.1 | saying it just gives a really different perspective on God that can make you like, you were saying, |
