Phil Fields a Complaint About the Podcast & the Guys Get Feisty About It | Ep 960

Jase’s use of the “crickets” button leads to a debate over the use of excessively simplified or complicated rhetoric when studying the Bible, and Phil becomes the referee. The guys point out all the instances of simplicity in the message of Jesus, as well as examples of deeper philosophical arguments within the text. Jase and Zach agree that Jesus belongs to everyone, whether they’re intelligent or illiterate.

There are things that the Apostle Paul wrote that were worded in complicated ways and drawn out but his contribution is not dismissed by more simplified writers. There is room for both discussion types because both glorify the Lord.

Zach, you have a beautiful way of approaching God. It's obvious that God has blessed you to reach people who have struggled and questioned. I love how Al agreed with you regarding people like Lee Strobel. I agree with you and think that you are very bright and ready to take on the Greeks and the Roman's in our current culture. Keep it up, Zach! Your love for Jesus and ability to explain things to people who question is important. We are all needed in the kingdom. Not everyone relates to Christian duck hunters. There is a place for all of us... God has people for us to reach for Jesus because of our life experiences 🙏

It took me a while to warm up to Zach, but now that I've dug in and started more Bible studies he's actually helped me to understand deeper concepts and theology. I also appreciate when Jase pauses him to define the term- it's been educational!! I missed Zach when he wasn't on the podcast recently!

[@jewelssylva3738]

I grew up studying the Bible & I am familiar with most of the "big words" Zack has been using. I'm glad to learn more vocabulary that expands my understanding. Jase doesn't like to hear it because he thinks he knows it all & new words (which are not new, they have been used since before Jase was born) reveal that there's more to learn. I don't think restricting language is healthy. Ignore it if you want but stop trying to restrict Zack's language. I wish Jase would embrace the new words instead.

Please pray for me, I’ve always been a “Christian” but never lived my life for him and recently decided to change my life in every way possible.

I’m struggling in every way in life atm and I feel as if he doesn’t hear me sometimes but I know I’m truly blessed to even be here I try to be grateful for everything but I know I’m greadyy at times. I think that’s the reason I’m still so stressed and worried so that’s something I’m trying to change. I recently found this podcast and I’m truly greatful as I learn a lot about our lord but I still have a lot more to learn so I can understand more and will hopefully help me be a better Christian and a better man in general.

Sorry Phil, I respectfully disagree. Zach keep up the good work

[@boorobertson1985]

You disagree with what? You probably missed Phil’s point like the rest. Phil’s point is that the writers of the Bible are greater than Zach’s Worldly teachers.

[@wynnj373]

I disagree with Phil respectfully in that the Kingdom of God is made up of many levels of intellect. In the book Job God talked about his creation and the complexity of it. It is peppered through out the bible - all of creation is a reflection of the creator. That includes all levels of intellect. People like Zach have deeper thoughts; I would argue that this is by design and the Lord would have it that way on purpose. As long as all come to Jesus and receive salvation through Jesus and the gospel is not watered down - then why would Zach's contribution to discussions be put down? I know where Phil is coming from but there is room at the table for both presentations, so long as Jesus is glorified.

[@debistarnes5151]

As someone who didn't grow up in church.😢.. as an adult i heard preaching on the radio that said YOU MUST NOT QUESTION ANYTHING ABOUT GOD. I heard so many things that i thought any time i messed up i had to get saved again... over and over. People talk about never forgetting when they were saved. which gave me something else to feel guilty about. 13 years ago i was able to be off on Sundays and i went to church the first Sunday...then my husband started going too. I'm so thankful. We finally found the place God wanted us to be. My wonderful church family helped me when the Lord called my husband of over 39 years Home..and still do 2 1/2 years later. Thank You Jesus!!! ❤❤❤D

Phil’s original point had nothing to do with big words, but it was about these intellectuals that Zach was quoting, Phil said he ain’t never heard of them. Phil was pointing to Paul and those who wrote the Bible as his authority. So you all can agree with Zach all you want, while missing Phil’s point entirely.

[@candicephillips736]

I don’t consider Zack’s vocabulary to be too advanced. I think most people with moderate command of the English language understand him perfectly well. I don’t understand the point Jase is trying to make. Maybe Jase needs to expand his knowledge.

[@boorobertson1985]

That wasn’t the point, Phil and Jase’s point was that those who wrote the Bible are more important than those intellectuals that Zach mentioned.

[@tommywagoner7669]

I think what's more important than whether the conversation is simple or intellectual using "big words", is to understand the audience you're preaching, teaching, or speaking too. If the person you are speaking too is ver intellectual then speak as intellectually as you are able. If your audience is not of the intellectual type, then keep the gospel simple. I think narrowing down to only one way of teaching and preaching can leave certain audiences out of gaining more knowledge of the gospel, which is part of the great commision.

I like Zach’s vocabulary. He can get out there too far for me, but I still like hearing what he has to say. He can say what he says and I’ll make my own mind up on what to believe through my discernment. Look: Jesus spoke in parables to the groups of people, but not to the disciples. Paul taught to the gentiles. Peter to the Jews. If that way speaks to you, chances are it will speak to another. ❤ I like apologetics, but it isn’t my main or only study. I use it for specific subjects like the creation story or something more science related. I don’t think it should be a separate theology, but I feel that way about most theologies. ❤

Instead of propitiation, simply define it: God's wrath towards men has been satisfied by Christ's sacrifice ... Convey the truth as simply as possible.

Phil and Jase win because they point to Christ. Jesus bless you!

[@GoTellJesusSaves]

I think there's a real disconnect here... intelectual doesn't require big words that most people don't understand. Intelectual simply requires a deeper understanding of a matter. Bigger words does not equal greater understanding. When speaking in a public forum, what is important is that those who are listening understand what is being communicated. Therefore, using words which all the listeners will understand is quite important, unless you are intentionally wanting some people to not understand. This happens often when people know a different language and they want to have a conversation that they do not want others nearby to understand. Same principal. It's much easier/ efficient to say things in such a way that people understand without having to stop mid-conversation to define a word. Not only that, but doing so causes a break in following what's being said and cause some people to tune out.

I was saying Zach was right about his own point: people who use “big words” need Jesus too. I’m not sure what you’re saying Zach was wrong about. So Zach is pointing to Christ also. I agree with Jase and Phil too. I don’t think they’re wrong about what they said.

GOD SPEAKS TO ALL OF US DIFFERENTLY. WE ARE NOT ROBOTS. THANK GOD

[@marydunn3469]

I’m a pretty simple person not highly educated. Don’t understand a lot of the big words, has to be put in Laymans terms. I guess for me simple is better. never hurts to grow to learn and grow deeper. I love you all. I love what Zach brings to the table. thank you for the podcast, I have been listening for the last five years.

[@Tbear-k1g]

Great discussion guys. As far as ‘big’ words, when I read my Bible my Ipad is right next to me so I can google words for a better understanding of the definition.

[@philliphughes4490]

Stay strong Zach. Yours is a different way of breaking it down that helps me connect the repeated phrases Jase and Phil use to the current Bible studies. The more words we know, the more people we can understand and communicate our ideas to.

[@philliphughes4490]

@@boorobertson1985 nobody argued against that. Zach always points to Christ as well.

[@chadrickhill5409]

The answer to the first argument is simple. The beauty of The Gospel and the things of God is that they are both simple and complex at the same time. For those that enjoy pontificating The Word and dissecting it from every angle, it can stand up to that. For the man who likes to keep things simple and maybe doesn't think it complex ways, its powerful enough on the surface to hold up to that as well.

❤Zack, you. Just keep up with the Big words. You lift up the study level...lol

[@markelder4789]

I love Zachs opinion i just wonder if he has any published books out . I am currently reading uncanceled I just started a few nights agi

[@robertmorman8445]

I agree with Jase, too, Jesus makes us smart through the Holy Spirit 😊

[@deesandra-ik1iu]

Thank you guys for giving me something wholesome to listen to . While I settle down for the night. I am in a Armor of God group with some ladies from Lighthouse Church in Panama City, Florida. I look up the verses ya’ll speak of. ❤

[@boorobertson1985]

Dang Zach makes the most sense when he is reading straight from the Bible. Stick to that Buddy.

[@robbyjames5469]

Great perspectives from all & some truth to each of the positions but the "Just me & my Bible" approach is unbiblical. There are godly people who aren't intelligent, & I believe God gives grace in those situations, but the way it applies to the norm: "And he gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the shepherds and teachers, to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ," Ephesians 4:11‭-‬12 ESV

[@JimLedford-q7d]

Zach do not change. I only have a high school education, but I like to read. I have read Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Dallas Willard, AJ Tozier, and others. Many of these were a hard read for me, and it was a slow go. But that doesn’t mean it wasn’t helpful. I’m not sure why Jase thinks no one knows these words. I hope Zach will continue on just as he has. At least they aren’t talking about the ticket!

[@errickrutherford3917]

Keep pushing back Zack!! I’m pro the least educated Christian out here, I love learning new words Zack thank you!!

[@lisaduffey7560]

I was notating scripture from devotionals to sticky pads to mark verses I have studied while listening to the podcast and this verse popped out and is relatable to this exact podcast, Luke 12: 11-12. This is not the first time this has happened. Just the first time I commented.

[@DonnaKramer-g8h]

I always smile when the apostles are in the boat, and they say to Jesus, "Don't you care that we are perishing". The whole reason for Jesus being on earth is because He cared that we were perishing.

ZACK by far your best podcast!!!! Hey people I don’t understand some of the words Zack says either!!! I wanna say THANK YOU ZACK for teaching me some new words , an also if you listen to the small words before the big word , you can usually correctly assume what the big word meant!! Zack I will be the first to admit you def wasn’t my favorite person , but I wanna apologize for that!! Keep pushing back an using big words, maybe someone might learn something as well as get the word!! Amen

[@beth5765]

Phil speaks up on the use of big words 🤪🤣 I actually like the big words but respect all these guys tremendously
