Hey everybody. Welcome to another episode of Call Toss Commentary. Welcome to all our Star Wars. Thank you once again. We appreciate y'all. We would not be here without y'all. As of right now, we have 62 downloads, and we are grateful for each and every one of y'all. I'm here with El Bemman. How are you doing today? I'm doing I'm doing fine. I'm doing okay. Like you say, like I say, what's out to our Star Wars Nation out there. And like you say, I am thankful and grateful and blessed for every download that we got. And it is up from here. Absolutely. So today we will be continuing a little bit of our conversation about the fate of being saved. So oh my man, what's saving you right now? Jesus Christ is saving me. He's the only person that can save me. Do you say that because he's the truth? Absolutely. I say that because he's the truth. I say that because he is me, he is you, he's everything. Why do you say that? Why do you say you, mean, means you? Because like I can't give you word for word out of the Bible, but in the Bible it says that we are all one. He is in me and I am in you. Ain't that Tyleel Natsaw? Yeah, that's the law's trendy. The Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit is the one is the one thing that connects us all. And like w I like what you said about uh Jesus is you and Jesus is me, and like we all are each other because at the end of the day, like we had talked about on previous episodes, like it's easier to look at our similarity and our differences. And when it comes to you know being selfless and not self-fish, that that goes with that because you know, us us having togetherness, we have to be able to consider each other and serve each other and not just ourselves. They say in the ballot that is serving the creator instead of creature. Like we're the creature, we all have our own desires, but everybody has their desires. Absolutely. And like you say, like I am kind of still uh how can I say this? I am kind of still uh an infant as a believer. Like I'm still coming to terms with like the parables in the Bible, how to break them down, like what certain things mean. Like I didn't know, I just I just recently learned probably like a few weeks ago. Well then Alan's calling for the out over here, he was teaching me that when it says like uh dial rod and thou staff, it's saying, it's actually saying something, and it's not saying like staff that you're talking about or or rodents that you're touching, like the rod is the discipline and the staff is the protection. Yeah, it's the discretion. Right, the rod is the discipline and the staff is discretion. Can you bring that down for my cup? Sure. So, you know, like they used to say, shepherds, and and uh, you know, in our terms, in other terms, big homies. So, you know, the shepherds and the big homies, they used to lead the pack, and they used a staff to as discretion because the staff is what guided them. The staff is what helped them make their choice of uh take right or take left. And when it comes to taking, you know, staying on a good path, the raw was in place for this one because like we all know we all know deep down like what we're supposed to do. And there are situations where you know we might dig into temptation or our desires, and the rod is in place because we we get we get punished when we do what's wrong, or like every choice we make is rewarded. And that's something that I really enjoy, not just about the Bible, but but life in itself, like in all the the chasing money and all the you know the striving we do for this to obtain this and obtain that, like we become fearless and impulsive. And like that carelessness and that selfishness, it it shows in our circumstances when things don't really always go for it, or maybe it's good for a time, but it crumbles. That's what the rod is the rod shows that like when we don't do what's right, we're gonna get punished. You know, good and bad choice just in the world, both from which way. So I don't know that like talent is about when you got something to take. Here you go. That's so and we can get back to the question that you will get ready to ask, but I was just watching something. On these tables, we got we got a free section on the tablet, and it is called the Pando Act. And it is a it is a Christian, it's a it's a it's a religious habit, it's a Christian act. So I was looking at like some little clips on there, and they had like some little small robot movies. So it was a movie about some guys over in California. They're like a bunch of ex-gang bangers, a bunch of ex-drug dealers, uh from all walks of bad life. You had them all out there on the corner. Now, it was a guy that had just came home. And right before he left, they showed a clip on there where his cell boy was actually another Spanish guy, because all these guys were Spanish. So his cell buddy was another Spanish guy, and he was telling him, like, look, I got a lot of time in here, and you came in with a lot of time, and somehow you gave it back and you get ready to go back out there. But he was asking, he was letting him know, like, look, if you don't change your life, if you don't change what you're doing, what if you don't change what you were doing before you got in here, you're gonna go back to the same thing. And another thing that he said that really stood out to the guy was in order, he told him like it was, I I can't, I may not have it revealed him, but he's telling them like in order to seek change, like you gotta be, you gotta be willing to like jump out there, you gotta be willing to take that leap of faith if you wanna like seek change. And then he started breaking down to him like about Christ, Jesus Christ, because the guy that was getting ready to go home, he was a non-believer. He said he didn't believe in God, he didn't do the religious things, he said that's how he was raised. So the other guy was telling him, like, well, I was the same age, this that the third, I didn't believe it was a life believe, blah, blah, blah. So the guy that was getting ready to go home, he was telling them, like, all right, like, why would God or if if God is Jesus is me good, then why would they want something? Why would they want, why would they want something to do with like a guy like me, uh an ex-gang name, uh, uh, uh a murderer, like why would they want something to do with me? And like he told him. He said, it's nothing that you can do, or it's nothing that you will ever do or has done that he will not forgive you for, or you cannot come back from. And like he told him, he said that God loves all his creations, everything he created, you love, and everything he created, he has a purpose. He has a purpose for you, whether you know it or not, or whether the purpose is taking too long to be revealed to you. And if you feel like your purpose is taking too long to be real to you, then you gotta self-reflect and wonder, and you gotta self-reflect and ask yourself why. Like, am I missing the sign? Am I missing the signs that uh that that that that that D is giving me to like better help myself or better my situation? I'm glad we're talking about this because like I have said on the first part of this this session, this episode that we've gone, like it was hard for me to look at the Bible without the religious aspect, like without the the the church and the the holy uh you know routine. But I I started to realize like with the like with the proverbs and psalms, they're just like they say, they're just peaceful sayings, and they are like the quotes of harm and and they're called spiritual principles. And those those are basically like they're they're the rules that help multiple connect in one way. And like, you know, I I'm really this is really for those people that may not, you know, maybe non-believers or may not be uh too familiar with God or Jesus in in the Bible. Like, if you look in the proverbs, like you'll see you'll see quotes like uh life and death are in the power of the tongue. Like those that's one of my favorites. Because you know, the difference in saying, excuse me, and saying, get the fuck out of my way. They're two very different things, but they mean the same thing. They mean you try and get the same thing done. And that's like an example of like that principle of you know, if if we as in us as people, if we all live by this proverb, then we won't be at peace. We'll have hats who be in harmony because it's not really about what it's about for similar. Because not all of us believe in this or believe in that. Everybody got feelings. Absolutely. I'm glad that you said that El Nascar because, like you say, it is it is very easy for it's definitely it is definitely hold up because El Nancy just gave me a look like he forgot something to tell you. Hold up. Another thing, like, I want to talk about all guts no glory and why that's not like it's not manly, but I want to ask El Nancy. So LN, like, can you explain to our Star Wars nationwide? It's not manly to show all guts no glory in situation and just just be careless. Man, when it comes to that all guts no glory, now people may and I can say I used to be the same way, but like as I grew, as I got older, I got wiser, I got smarter, and I started to see that the all guts and no glory is just a bunch of nonsense. It's it's senseless. Like it literally is senseless. And I say that because you do more harm in situations like that than grew it. And in situations like that, I look at it like back in back then, I was too scared. I was too scared to do something different. I was too scared to say, look, I'm gonna go ahead and walk away because I got five people right here that is they are they are they are here, they're angry, they might, they might, they might whip on me. So, like the all got no glory part, like for me back in back in those times, my younger days, I probably would have stood there and probably tried to take off five. But now that I know myself and I'm like I'm actually comfortable with who I am as a person, it wouldn't be nothing for me to look all five of them in their face and tell them have a nice day and walk off. That makes me a man. Right. And like when it comes to being a man and having those characteristics like being brave and courageous, it doesn't mean bold in the sense of, like you say, sensor. Like, don't walk into something that you know could end badly. Like, we only do those brave, courageous things when it's our only option. And like, like you were saying, there's always that choice. And the willingness of us is what makes our character. Like, just because I can do something doesn't mean I have to do it. And I know, like, I know in that high esteem of myself, like I'm comfortable with myself to know like besides these, like, if I had to, I would go straight out. I would buck on. But that that's all got some words because if I don't have to do it, you know, if it's not, if me not doing it isn't making my situation worse, then me not doing it is the right thing to do. Oh, I love that. Like, I love that answer. That is that is right, yo. Like, that is on the money. Like, I don't even want to piggyback all that. I literally don't, yo. And but with that being said, like, I didn't carry all the Al Star Wars out there to like, even if it's like, yeah even if it's not like Christ needs your life, Jesus. This try something different. Like, if you're tired of the one thing for sure, two things for certain, every man, like we eventually we'll get fed up, especially if our life are in channel, our life isn't just it's everywhere. Eventually we'll get fed up, we'll get tired of living that way, being that way, seeing this keeps happening. Every day I wake up, this go on, this go on, this go on. And you know, they call that insanity. When you think something is going to change, but you don't change the situation. It doesn't change. That is insanity at a sign. And that's what goes on a lot around here. Like a a a good a good ass example is I hear a lot of the Jews around here, they say this all day, every day. I can't wait to go home. I want to go home. I can't wait to go home. I want to go home. I can't wait to go home. I want to go home. But every time you see these dudes that say this, every time you see them, they're not doing nothing to go home. I never see them work on their case. I never seen them in a library, I never seen them read the book. I always see them doing everything to keep them in here. Like I literally always see them do something to keep them in here. And you got some people that that say that and they ask you put the work in to get it done. And they are the people that just out of here. They leave. But the ones that just want to keep saying, I want to go home, want to go home, and not doing nothing to change it, and saying the edit sign. Nothing is going to change and you change your situation. So that's what I want our organization out there to know. Always know, yo, you are the soul, you are solely responsible for your future and where it takes you. Right, and I like what you said about like giving our lives, not like even if it wasn't to Jesus, whatever it may be, like a high power, for instance. Like if Jesus is not your high power, whatever you give your life to, that's always should be like something that we love, that's dear near and dear to us, because when we when we when we can think about those things in an instant, in a moment where a decision might be, you know, pressed on for us to make a decision right away, the pressure is on. We all we must think of that thing. We must not only think of ourselves and what's going on, because out of sight, out of mind is a real thing. It's easy to forget what's important when it's not right there in front of us. That's just natural. So always think about or give heed to before I do this, would this person would be mad? Or would would it make things worse for us? Have I been here before? And these are all good questions to ask ourselves. But hey, if you have any questions for us, make sure you leave it in our comment section. Make sure you share this video with all your Star Wars. Yeah, my goodness, like you say, I'd like to thank y'all once again for 10 minutes for Carl's commentary. And like we always say, is this anything that y'all would like us to speak on, or is this anything that y'all would like us to elaborate more on? Like you said, you can feel free to leave us a question in the comment section. And you know, we love our Star Wars nation, and we take this job that we got right here, we take this very seriously, and we're gonna do what we gotta do to help up with our people, helping our people every day.
