Evangelized #DTLA via Train & MTB (August 27th, 2019)

Regretfully I forgot to bring extra GoPro batteries, and the one in the GoPro died early-on. Consequently I was not able to document most of this this wonderful day the Lord had made. But the good news is, I didn’t have much video to sort thru.

“Ladies you look lovely today. You may have put those beautiful dresses on this morning. But a mortician may remove them tonight. Are you ready to meet your Maker?”

Regarding my comment to the lovely ladies regarding a menstruation rag.

Isaiah 64:6 says, “But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.”

This word ‘filthy’ in ‘filthy rags’ is the Hebrew word iddah (‛êd’). Translated as ‘the bodily fluids from a woman’s menstrual cycle.’ The ‘rag’ is the soiled rag and/or garment. Conversely, the good works or good deeds of anyone, or cult member (Mormons or JW’s), are non-salvific, and worthless in the sight of a Holy God. As another scholar said, “Therefore, these “righteous acts” are considered by God as repugnant as a soiled feminine hygiene product.”

As Commentator Matthew Henry put it –

“Our deeds, whatever they may seem to be, if we think to merit by them at God’s hand, are as rags, and will not cover us; filthy rags, and will but defile us. Even our few good works in which there is real excellence, as fruits of the Spirit, are so defective and defiled as done by us, that they need to be washed in the fountain open for sin and uncleanness.”

While talking to a cursing Gangster, drinking his 40oz beer, my GoPro was left-on while laying inside my helmet, and the camera went dead. You will hear the Gangster telling me “You’re a fake prophet,” and it went dead.  He professed to be a Christian while claiming “Jesus died for all!” Yep, gang members love their free will’ism too.
