Is That Really in the Bible?

Bible Belt Bros

Andrew brings up different phrases that maybe we have heard before, but are they actually biblical? Dusty learn about a new book in the bible :-) and has to apologize to Andrews mother.

Here's a automated transcript of the podcast :-)

Hey everyone. Welcome to the Bible belt. That's the hot room. Hey everyone. Welcome to the Bible belt bros podcast. Say dusty, you're getting better. And then you did this weird slang thing at the end of. Um, I'm trying some things out the last four weeks now you've been trying things out. It's not working.
Go back to the original. Now you go find a good my day. He used to be just welcome to the Bible belt, bro. She didn't have to say all those crazy things. Exactly. Anyways, how are you doing? Uh, I'm doing great. Do in fantastic. Good, good websites. Making videos, fun, fun, fun, fun, fun. I hope they're good videos.
Um, I dunno. I, you know, so today actually at the office, we have every workstation in our office. We have like webcams and stuff so that we can, um, spy on each other spy on each other. So we can create content because we do have like a digital marketing online. School that we're kind of creating as we're working.
So like basically if we're working on something and we don't have a video, a how to video, how to do it themselves, we need to record the how to video while we're doing it. We've had quite a few interns from oral Roberts university that have a marketing degree, then they show up and they have. They know theories, but they have no application practiced it.
And so what we're trying to do is at ORU, they're having us come, come and teach periodically as well as we're giving each student this course that they can. Learn the practicality of it as they leave college. So it's kind of a cool thing, especially for a guy who didn't go to college to be teaching kids who paid what, 20 to 30 grand for a degree.
And then they still have to learn from the guy who doesn't have the degree to do it. So it was pretty funny. And the teacher, the professor, she was like, dusty, can, can you talk, but just don't, don't tell them they're wasting their time. And I was like, don't tell them, I won't tell them, but you know, I'm think they better off just, you know, interning somewhere at 20 grand, you know, expenses instead of learning from you, which then yeah.
Anyway, so it's just, it's kind of, it's kind of funny. So I'm making a lot of videos, but today I realized there's like levels of production quality when it comes to a YouTuber or a streamer. I like you have a, you could, most people, they start out, there's a $50 webcam that you can buy and it gets you gets you through.
And then there's this one here, Andrew, uh, from work that I brought here, which is $200. So you just get much better. Uh, color quality there's um, I don't know how to explain notice it's next to like your $20 one. Yeah. I actually did a side by side just trying to see the difference. That's why I brought it here and I was doing some streaming.
I plan my streaming around when I'm going to bring the equipment home, you know, so I was doing a side-by-side and this is $200. And this basically you get more. Color profile options. So instead of just red, blue, green, white, which is that kind of, you get red shade of red, one shade of red two, you know, those kinds of things.
So you're just getting more colored difference. So you're getting a better picture quality, but we also have at work Sony, a seven threes, which is about a $2,000 body. And then we have another $2,000 lens on top of that. And that would be like the next step up from like a $200 thing is to go ahead and get a full on.
Digital camera that can do video 4k video. And so typically most of those kinds of DSLR cameras, you have to buy like this adapter and it's a few hundred dollars to get it all hooked up correctly. And then you got to have a computer that's worth like being able to receive that much information at once and pushing it out.
And so today, Joking with my boss. And I was just like, I'm just going to go see what it is, you know, because my boss is one of those guys. He's like, let's just buy the best thing. Let's stop. Let's don't level up. Let's just buy the best thing. That's how I live, dude, if you're going to do it, do it right.
Yeah, exactly. So I was like looking around and apparently since the. Time lately, they've actually have a driver now for this specific camera that you can download the driver. And now it's able to process this computer feed or this a video feed, basically process it to be read by a computer. So you can basically use this $4,000 setup for your webcam, which is the, the goal.
You don't have any extra adapters, any other things you have to install? Side your computer. And so today, so today after spending money having $200 webcams on everybody's desk, I realized crap, we already had this stuff for free. I just had to plug it in. And now we have this $4,000 camera as our main streaming camera.
So it's, it's not my money. So I guess it's okay. My dog's got a squeaky toy. It's just, I'm going to have to break her.
Okay.
And a little bit you can play with it. Okay. Um, so, so that's going to be an odd edit right there that I think it's just leave it in. Maybe. So that's that's today. That was my day-to-day was going, Hey, you remember how I had you buy all this camera equipment? Now? It still makes more sense. Cause we also do like looms with our clients now, which is like a zoom, but it's a one-way zoom.
And so we can record a video, send them a link instead of having to send them a video file and they can stream it. Google. Oh, nice. There's a, just a button on a Google. Yeah. You just hit record and then send them basically a screenshare. So we're, we're all still needing cameras for, and we're not going to set up the Sony cameras every time we want to do like a 32nd.
Hey, just so you know, I changed this for you. If you have any questions, let me know, you know, those kinds of things were just so, you know, you spent a grand in ads this month. Here's where your money. Let me know if you need catch. And so that's usually my conversations on, on the phone that you can use, uh, that I think has a computer app for it as well, but, but it's screen shares.
Like I pulling up their Google ads account and going through keywords. Okay. And so. So, yeah, so, so it's still like, not a waste of money. It's not like I bought a complete waste. It's not a complete waste of money, but we probably didn't need as many cameras as we have because then your boss doesn't listen to this podcast.
I know. Yeah. Well, well I already joked with him. I was like, Hey, you're going to hate me. I figured out how to do this for free. So sorry. Oh, my gosh, I get this job. I just like showed him. I was like, he's like, it looks like a million times better. Like that's all he cared about was how much, at least you found a better way.
So that kind of, so basically he said, so all this gaming and nerding out and streaming and stuff, it's actually paying off for me because he's getting all the good equipment he's getting better and maybe it'll pay off for me. Cause then I'll just like, gotta test it. Got to bring it home. Gotta be sure it works properly.
Now, you know, you don't need this one at work. You can be like, now I just have this one at home. I'm just, I'm working from home. I'm just gonna work from home. I want to do pretty good quality video here. Yeah, I'm just going to leave this one at the house. If we ever need it, I'll bring it in. So whenever you need it, just go borrow one of somebody else's.
Yeah, so that was my day-to-day was finding out that he might've spent a lot of money, a thousand dollars more than he needed to. And that's no big deal. He's made the money. It's all good. It's the resell values there. If you want to be. Fisher you came in with a topic today. I decided you did last week's topic.
I do this week's topic. So this one's going to be about you. Yup. Yup. I mean, last week was all about you actually. I don't even remember what the cast is all about me. Oh yeah. Last week was your youth pastor thing or don't send you, you're absolutely tired by the way. I'm still okay. That's good. Good, good.
So, uh, pulling an Andrew luck. I'm just staying retired unless there's money. Andrew luck. Oh gosh, you brought it up, dude. There's a dude who bought $50,000 worth of Andrew luck cards as an investment. And then angels luck retired. Oh, he brought the full. I mean, that's a good investment at the time, at the time.
Yeah. And there's like a lot like dose by and dose at 40 cents looked good at the time. I mean, it's still great at 20 cents now. I'm still positive on those dude. Even with me buying it at 46 cents, I'm still positive. Really? Yeah. It's. I guess this exact moment. Hold on one second. Um, it is at a I'm pulling it up right now.
Look at him. Dose is at 24. Ah, there we go. So I bought a bunch of doge when it was at like 4 cents and 6 cents. That's smart, smart investing. And that's buying Andrew luck card before he retires. Yes. So I'm still positive. I'm just not as positive as I was when it was at, you know, You know, there were reports that technically the value could still go up because one, there were reports.
People thought he might be coming back this year. Cause winds got hurt. Oh, you're talking about, oh look, no dose dose just gone. Gotcha. No, he posted, you know, a couple of weeks ago or something that he's not coming back. Well, you say that now. I don't say that he said that well, but you know, like I think he's from what I've heard, he's very content person.
And so I can't remember what he's doing now, but I think the reports came out cause he like showed up at some high school and was just like throwing the ball around with them. Oh, my gosh, he's coming. He's coming back. He's he's getting out love for the game. Again. He's falling in love with the game and really he's just interviewing for a high school job, probably like he's probably interviewing for a coaching job, you know, my biggest fear, right?
What's is that Tom Brady, who is dominated my Packers, who has dominated just my NFL fan life for years because he is the second goat will finally retire and I will be so happy. And then Tampa bay hires him as their NFL head coach and he continues. To be just as good as a coach, as a player because of his smarts.
He cause the reason he's a good player, isn't his athleticism as much as it is as how smart he is, you know? So I know, you know, I could, players don't become great coaches do usually, but sometimes they can, but like Deion Sanders, uh, you know, you can't say great offensive coach. Not necessarily you be a coordinator, but I'm just going to say, he's not going to retire and leave.
Like I want him to, he's going to retire and still be there and being annoying. He's like, Bug that fly never leaves. And you're just like, Brady, can you give Rogers one year, please? Just one year without you, without your name of your it's not happening to stupid friends and just, and really it should, it's literally just Brady and Gronk.
That's it? Those, that combo is deadly. I mean, in one, in one Tampa bay of fricking Superbowl, I just two people, man. He's one of those guys you can't, it's like, as you started to hate. Yeah. Dude is a goat, a goat, not the goat. Here's the goat to you, Joe Montana. That's a debate that maybe for a different day, like the goats always going to be Michael Jordan, right, right.
A hundred percent. It's you can't physically side-by-side compare them. So as an older person, as the leagues change the leaks change and they didn't really play together in their primes, you know? So like as an older person, he's always going to be Michael Jordan, but as the younger kids, Who don't even remember nine 11.
It's always going to be dirt guys that I played with in that youth band that I was talking about last week was he, he was like, I was like, yeah, I moved here in 2003 and he goes, I wasn't even born yet. I was like, leave crazy. You moved here in three. I moved here and S. Five. Yeah, it was few years. A couple years after me.
I thought it was six. It was actually five. At some point the younger generation is going to be our generation and age. And they're not even going to remember. It's like when people talk about wilt, Chamberlain being the goat, I don't know. I've never saw his game. I never seen the highlights. Technically it's bill Russell.
If you're going to read. Yeah, well then like then I even know less, you know, like that's what I'm saying. Like, it's just at some point, the goat's going to change just based on people's personal experience. Still going to say Jordan. And yeah, I guess Jordan would, in my lifetime era, Jordan was the Tom Brady of, of a hundred percent.
He w like, anytime Jordan was playing, you were like, well, crap. Yeah. But, but yeah, bill Russell has more rings than anyone. And so it wasn't hit the team. Bill Russell was on, it was obviously bill rose there as many teams in that time and were called different. It was a lot. Truly different, which is why, when you put all that aspect into it, Jordan is still better.
That's why I loved the Olympics basketball stuff is because they were not calling those ticky tack fouls in the U S the reason they lost that first game was because they're jumping into, as they're trying to jump into people, and then they're going, where's the call? And they're like, that's only a felony MBA because you guys lobby for fouls.
Yes. 'cause you guys like to, you know, lift up LeBron, James and cry about everything. Yeah. Hm. Cause I, my blood pressure is going to increase and I just can't do that right now. Not right now. So let's go into our topic for the day. All right. I called us all here today. Dusty. Yep. You have the floor. So not gonna break into song this week.
Praise the Lord. We're going to talk. What you think is in the Bible, but it's actually not. Okay. Kind of just things that you've heard or especially you've been in the ministry much longer than I have, but gosh, what have you always been told? And I'll tell you, obviously, things I've been told that everyone thinks is in the Bible, but it's not.
Okay. Do you have a list of things? Maybe, maybe you can ask some, like phrases, a question in a way, and then I have to guess. Okay. Um, well Mike, have you heard this. I mean, you're going to have to come up with the real ones too then. Yeah. Yeah. That would be hard to get ya. Have you heard that there were three wise men?
Well, yeah. Yeah. Three wise men, uh, follow Jesus. But I know it's not, there's not, there was like 300 something like that. Right? Three gifts. There were three gifts. Yes. Uh, I'm actually trying to bring up, there we go. Yes. There are three gifts. It doesn't meet. Say that there were three wise, men just says three gifts were presented and it actually says the wise men, uh, the wise men went.
It's just harder to do a Christmas play. If you're having to get 300 Wiseman to show up on stage at once. Hi, how mean I get 300 people to show up in church in general. You know, what about this? Have you ever heard that Jonah was swallowed by a whale? Yes. Yup. So does the Bible specifically say it was.
Well, it was, does it say it's a fish? It says it's a great fish, a great fish. And so I think theoretically it has to be like a whale because of the possibility like that is actually possible to be swallowed by. Uh, is that the one that eats like algae sta no, it eats dead things. Usually it can swallow. I watched shark week not well week.
Well, okay. This goes along with shark week, a grouper can swallow a shark hole. Oh, that's. Scary. So a grouper, I believe if I'm right, the grouper, they, it, Lee lives at like the furthest depths of the ocean. And it actually, because it's pitch black down there, it has like this light on it's for it's like finding Nemo.
I don't know. I didn't find an email. There's a F they go all the way down and then, then there's like this fish with the light in front of it. Yes. Okay. So that would be a grouper. Okay. And they are these massive. Ugly things. Yeah. This one was pretty ugly, but it wasn't like a whale site. So what about this?
Have you ever heard the saying money is the root of all evil? Yes. And I know where you're going with this cause it's the love of money and all kinds of evil. So it's not just all these. So that's not just saying every evil thing is a root of is the love of money. But love of money can be the root of a lot of things.
Yes. A lot of evil things. Interesting. That, that one, I, that had a twist. I didn't know that one. Yup. So there's also, um, I don't speak Hebrew. Do you shut it a lot now? Where are you gonna say
I was actually, and this isn't on a list or anything, but I was watching tick talk earlier. Okay. And, uh, for some reason I get this Jewish guy who knows Hebrew because I have to be Jewish. Cause that's what he is. He said he was Jewish, but they use the Torah. Yes. And so that's one of the reasons he knows Hebrew is that the first 13 books of the old Testament.
So the according to him and in the Torah, the very first word, you know, the F the first sentence in, uh, in the beginning. Yeah, in the beginning. Okay. Well, in the Torah, the very first word, and I can't say the word because I don't speak Hebrew and I don't know how to pronounce pronunciate it, but the translation for that word is in a beginning.
NAB beginning, not in the beginning, but in a beginning. So not the only beginning. Exactly time, time. How many mornings were there according to, well, on earth, there's in the beginning, then there's the Noah. And then there's the new beginning with Jesus. Right. So yes, but yeah. Yeah. Okay. So I G I see what you're doing there, but even the, the NOAA beginning would still be court, but all three of those still respond to, or court correlate to the same V beginning.
Yeah. Because Noah would still be our linkage to Adam and Eve. Could also translate to, you know, in Cain killed Abel right. Came banished and went and married. But like, where did, like, there was other people on earth at the same time, like where those people come from, you know, like that kind of right. All right.
Let's go with this. What about Mike did cause um, quote, my Dick is in the Bible. His Mike did cause quote, when he was fired from the Chicago bears. Okay. Which is this too shall pass. Oh, that's not in the Bible. No. So this actually comes rather, they say that's in the Bible. Well, he, he got it confused with the phrase it came to pass, which is in the Bible over 400 times
minor, minor difference. That's right. But I mean, if you're quoting scripture, you should quote it correctly. Not form it, how you want it to say the truth behind it. If it came to pass me. And then all of a sudden, or. It past it. Well, it's like when you're telling your story and like, and so anyways, you know, then you go to the next step where this too shall pass means more like that has way more depth to it.
As far as any trial, you go through with this too, shall pass Jesus. You know, like, but I mean, you try, you go through, it came to pass, you know, that's just how the different ring do it, you know? Right. But same time we still shouldn't bend the Bible to how, what we want a quick story. I'll interrupt you here.
Oh, nice. One time. Your mom. And I
said, that was weird. I think you hear it. So your mom and I, we were having some debate or argument and now it's acceptable. Cause you said I was there and I'm like, wait, what? We were having some debate or argument. And I was completely wrong in this situation. I can't remember what it was, but I said, well, in Zachariah nine 12, it says this and your mom was like, oh it does.
And I was like, Janet, I can't lie. There's no Zachariah in the Bible. Maybe she thought you said Zachariah, maybe. I don't know what, maybe she thought I said, what Zechariah. That's not in the Bible either. You don't know, there's not a Zechariah anyway. I, I felt bad immediately when she actually took that lie.
Cause it was a complete joke and she was right about whatever she was arguing about. But yeah. Anyway, so that's another thing, like if you get in an argument, just quote a book of the Bible, that's not in the Bible. Like the pastor joke would be well in first opinions, chapter two, but you can just name a biblical character in Noah chapter three, it says this, you know, people might not realize that there's not a book called.
That's in the Bible. I always use second opinion, second opinion. Okay. Dusty. I want you to do something for me because I had to have proof before I did this. I want you to pull out your phone real quick. I want you to remember what you just said. What's that just say, you're going to, it's going to come up in just a second.
Oh, you said, so go to your body, go to your Bible app. I know you have the Bible app on your phone. Okay. All right. Go to the books of the Bible. Yes. Okay. And you're in at the beginning, right? Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus numbers, Deuteronomy John. Okay. So slowly scroll down. Well, okay. So it should be Genesis first Kings down at the bottom.
Yeah. All right, go ahead and scroll the Proverbs real quick. I'm gonna go slow. Uh, I mean, I want you to, I want this to, yeah, I'm here. All right. Now, uh, go down to go ahead and go to Joel. Okay. Okay. Now I go to Habak Habbakuk BEC book. Yep. Okay. Now I want you to read the next one. Zephaniah. What's the next.
Hi guy. What's the next one? This is accurate.
There's a saccharine saccharine one. Oh, wait. In the eighth month of the second year of Derrius, the word of the Lord came to the prophet, Zachariah, Baraka, and son of . Did you say America? Baraka sounds like America, America. Well, why does it any pastors preach on the word? I did not know that there was a saccharine, Janet.
I apologize this whole time. I thought I made that. Apparently, I was just smart. Mom, I got your back now. I gotta see, I gotta remember what we were fighting about to see if it was in Zachariah man, years and years have passed. You drove me like, so like go to Genesis. No to exit is right now. I didn't say jumped down to certain greens.
I got what I wanted to make sure you are going slow. Right. Okay. Going one book at a time. So when you saw Zechariah, you were like, what? I got the reaction now. I said, Zachariah, this is Zechariah. That's what I said. Maybe she thought you said Zachariah. You idiot. That's not even in the Bible either. Um, I'm uh, I'm interested to read what Zechariah says, man.
Measuring the, with the line. Okay. Clean garments for the high priest. All right. The gold land stand and the two olive trees. That sounds like an interesting story. That sounds like Exodus. The flying scroll. Okay. For cherry is that sounds like something that would be in a movie justice and mercy, not fast.
Whoa, that could be controversial. Maybe that's why people don't realize that maybe we'll have a podcast in the coming weeks. Zachariah. Exactly. Yeah. We needed to do a Zechariah podcast chapter by chapter. Okay. Yeah, I can't do that. We can, we can possibly do that. So back to what we were talking about though.
Yeah. Okay. Have you ever heard that God works in mysterious ways? He always does. Amen. Hallelujah. Yup. But that's not in the Bible either. Uh, matter of fact, it is a very true ish statements, but, um, Isaiah 55. Does remind us that God's ways are different from our ways. Um, but no biblical proffer, prophet ever uttered that God works in mysterious ways, uh, about, I love the sinner.
Hate the sin. Oh yeah. That's gotta be manmade a hundred percent. It's manmade. Now this goes back to the biblical time. But it's not in the Bible is actually Augustine who wrote a line that says with love for mankind and hatred for sins. So yes, it goes back to the biblical times, but it was an actual, I just thought it was something pastors made up in the last 10 years to be honest.
So it actually went back to the fifth century with Augustine. So what do you, what have you heard? That's not actually in the Bible. Um, well, can you talk about Thai army, dude, if you want to go beat that horse dead, we can hit it again. Oh, here's one. I don't know. God will not give you more than you can handle.
Well, well, and then, okay, then we can just go to like Philippians four 13. I can do all things through Christ that versus always misused, always misuse on no matter what you're doing, God will give you the power to accomplish it. Whether or not it's his will or not. You know, I use that to this day, but really I'm upset that the context is that, that through trials and hardships through pain and suffering, Like you can get through it.
Like it's not that you're going to triumph over the team that you're playing or a triumph over the job that you're trying to get is that when you don't try and even those things that God was still there and he could do all things for him. Right? Yup. So it was just funny, like, yeah. That's, that's the big sports one, right?
Yes. Yes it is. Yeah. Teebo another one. God helps. Those who help themselves. I haven't heard that one. What have you never heard? God, it sounds like a Republican statement. If I've ever heard one Republican, like, you know, like just working for what year and of getting government handouts. Well, I actually think so.
I got this idea one firm take talk to the idea for this topic two from a post on Facebook, which is this exact title. And I actually think it was my dad who I saw a post on it, and it was, God will help those who help themselves. Although in Romans five eight, it actually says the exact opposite because it says we were unable to do them without Christ.
Yeah. And I with when it comes to salvation, now that is a misconception. We can never do any, we can never do enough to earn salvation. You know, and sometimes we, even, after becoming a Christian, we feel like we still have to do enough and we will never do enough. Like you can, you can continue to serve God every day, but that's never going to be enough.
And that's the whole point. All right. Enough has been done from the Lord. We can do all things through Christ who strengthens us, Andrew. Those are just a few things dusty that I've heard over the years. And, uh, and this list told me about which reminded me that I heard over the years. And sometimes it's good because for somebody like me, I've basically since nine years old, been in church.
And so there's a lot of things like that that I think I know. And which kind of makes me not read my Bible as much as I should, because I've heard it all. You know, I've never heard of Zechariah. I just never know. Tell me a pastor, if you're a pastor and you've ever preached on Zechariah, let me know, because I do not think I've ever heard that anywhere.
So, so actually, if you were at house church a few weeks, You would have known there's a Zechariah. Why is that? Because weeks ago I was, no, you are playing at the youth again. Yeah. And literally Zechariah came up in our Zechariah. Oh my God. It did. It actually came up. That's why you knew it is exactly. So when you said there wasn't a Zechariah, I immediately pulled out my.
I said there wasn't a Zack Araya is true, but I said, Zechariah. And you said, well, there's not that either. Which is when I pulled out my phone and I had to find where it was. Cause I was, I knew it was in the old test medicine aware in the old Testament and I had to do this traumatic reveal for you. And so I actually, and I passed it the first.
I'll be honest. And I was like, Ooh, maybe he's right. Listen to everybody remembers the first quarter of the new Testament books, but nobody cares about the middle section for halftime. Then we pick it back up. Yeah. I have time. I had an in Matthew. Garbage time, halftime garbage. He cares about those garbage time points.
You know, that's why they threw Zechariah Ryan in there. I got, I don't even, have you ever heard Malakai though? I've heard of Malika. That's the very end, right? That's like that two minute drive at the end of before. It was well that's. I mean, that's, before that two minute drive at the end, a halftime, like you, you have a game you're watching, you're watching football.
It starts off great. You're in there every moment. Then you're like getting some snackies, getting some drinks you're going outside. I may throw stuff on the grill. You come back. There's like two minutes left till halftime, which is Malakai. You watch that final drive get hit half time. Boom. Matthew comes out strong.
Yeah, that's in Genesis when Genesis wow. Revelation wins it all. Yeah. And then you kind of, don't like, You don't really care about the three Johns Jude, you know, but then you get to revelations and we're back in there because this is where what's where boys become men right here, revelations and kind of in the middle, you know, Matthew, mark, Luke, and John, it's just the same planes over and over.
Same, you know, preplanned plays and they come out and plays nothing, no tricking trick. They're not doing anything crazy. You know, then you get the James and you start saying some weird things like, okay, now I look into the middle of the game right now. That's crazy, bro. I mean a flea flicker when they're tied.
Oh my goodness. Onside kicking after that. Oh my goodness. So yeah, nobody cares about those middle books as much, maybe like maybe one or two, but you know, Zechariah is right there in now was probably getting some snacks, getting some, you know, going to the bathroom, get ready for that two minute into the halftime.
He was eating his oranges before half time. And his mom brought well, thanks guys for tuning in this was a fun one. Hopefully enjoyed it. Let me know if there's things that we didn't think of.
