>>IN JANUARY 2010, A MINIVAN
STRUCK AND KILLED A MAN CROSSING
00:00:09.54\00:00:13.58
A BROOKLYN STREET - ESPECIALLY
TRAGIC BECAUSE THIS WAS NO
00:00:13.68\00:00:17.78
ORDINARY MAN. JOE
ROLLINO WOULD HAVE BEEN
00:00:17.88\00:00:21.32
105 YEARS OLD IN
MARCH. HIS FRIENDS SAID HE WAS
00:00:21.42\00:00:24.69
THE MODEL OF HEALTH. A
WORLD WAR II VET WITH THREE
00:00:24.79\00:00:28.12
PURPLE HEARTS, ROLLINO GOT HIS
START IN THE 1920S AT THE CONEY
00:00:28.22\00:00:31.83
ISLAND CARNIVAL, BILLED AS 'THE
STRONGEST MAN IN THE WORLD'.
00:00:31.93\00:00:36.26
FIVE-FEET FIVE-INCHES TALL
AND WEIGHING 150 POUNDS, FOR HIS
00:00:36.36\00:00:40.60
SIZE HE WAS ONE OF
THE STRONGEST MEN EVER.
00:00:40.70\00:00:44.11
HE COULD MOVE 3200 POUNDS WITH
HIS BACK, LIFT 475 POUNDS WITH
00:00:44.21\00:00:49.24
HIS TEETH, AND 635 POUNDS
HE COULD LIFT WITH ONE FINGER.
00:00:49.34\00:00:55.08
AT JOE ROLLINO'S 103RD BIRTHDAY
PARTY, A FRIEND GAVE HIM A
00:00:55.18\00:00:58.15
QUARTER AND ROLLINO
BENT IT WITH HIS FINGERS.
00:00:58.25\00:01:01.59
HE THEN APOLOGIZED BECAUSE
HE USED TO DO IT WITH A DIME.
00:01:01.69\00:01:05.29
DID I MENTION THAT JOE ROLLINO
DIDN'T DRINK OR SMOKE, HE
00:01:05.39\00:01:08.60
EXERCISED DAILY, AND HE
WAS A LIFE-LONG VEGETARIAN?
00:01:08.70\00:01:12.53
YOU KNOW, THE BIBLE ALSO MAKES A
CONNECTION BETWEEN A VERY STRONG
00:01:12.63\00:01:15.84
MAN AND A UNIQUE LIFESTYLE.
THE BIBLE SAYS SAMSON DID NOT
00:01:15.94\00:01:19.97
DRINK AND HE STAYED
AWAY FROM UNCLEAN FOODS.
00:01:20.08\00:01:23.28
WOULD YOU LIKE TO
LIVE TO A HEALTHY 100?
00:01:23.38\00:01:25.88
ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE WHEN
WE FOLLOW GOD'S HEALTH PLAN.
00:01:25.98\00:01:29.45
SO JOIN ME NOW, AS WE
TAKE A DEEPER LOOK INTO THIS
00:01:29.55\00:01:32.22
LIFE-CHANGING SUBJECT.
>>TONIGHT I'M GOING TO BE
00:01:32.32\00:01:39.49
SHARING A TOPIC THAT I THINK THE
CHRISTIAN WORLD IS LONG OVERDUE
00:01:39.59\00:01:47.90
TO UNDERSTAND THIS ISSUE
AND PEOPLE HAVE SUFFERED GREATLY
00:01:48.00\00:01:52.11
BECAUSE THEY DO NOT UNDERSTAND
THIS PRINCIPLE FROM THE BIBLE
00:01:52.21\00:01:55.51
THAT IS VERY PRACTICAL.
NOW, OUR MESSAGE TONIGHT IS
00:01:55.61\00:02:00.65
DEALING WITH THE SUBJECT OF
HEALING, HEALTH AND HOLINESS.
00:02:00.75\00:02:05.12
IT BEGINS WITH A STORY THAT YOU
FIND IN A BOOK OF PROPHECY AND
00:02:05.22\00:02:09.59
IT'S IN DANIEL CHAPTER
1. IT TELLS THAT AFTER KING
00:02:09.69\00:02:12.83
NEBUCHADNEZZAR HAD CONQUERED
BABYLON, HE TOOK SOME OF THE -
00:02:12.93\00:02:17.30
THE BRIGHTEST AND THE BEST OF
THE NATION AND HE BROUGHT THEM
00:02:17.40\00:02:19.97
WITH HIM BACK TO BABYLON AND
HE SAID, 'LOOK, WE'RE GOING TO
00:02:20.07\00:02:23.14
TRAIN YOU IN THE
LANGUAGE OF THE CHALDEANS.
00:02:23.24\00:02:25.44
WE'RE GOING TO FEED YOU FROM OUR
CAFETERIA FOR THREE YEARS AND
00:02:25.54\00:02:28.74
WE'RE GOING TO PREPARE TO YOU TO
BE AMBASSADORS REPRESENTING YOUR
00:02:28.84\00:02:31.71
PART OF THE WORLD AND GO TO THE
UNIVERSITY OF BABYLON.' AND YOU
00:02:31.81\00:02:37.39
THINK, 'WELL, THAT
WILL BE REALLY GOOD.
00:02:37.49\00:02:38.62
YOU'D BE EATING FROM
THE BABYLONIAN CAFETERIA.'
00:02:38.72\00:02:41.39
BUT THERE'S A PROBLEM WITH THAT.
BABYLONIANS ATE THINGS THAT GOD
00:02:41.49\00:02:47.03
HAD TOLD HIS PEOPLE
THEY'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO EAT.
00:02:47.13\00:02:49.80
SO DANIEL AND HIS THREE FRIENDS
THAT HAD BEEN CARRIED OFF TO
00:02:49.90\00:02:52.40
BABYLON: SHADRACH, MESHACH,
ABEDNEGO - THEIR HEBREW NAMES
00:02:52.50\00:02:56.91
WERE HANANIAH, MISHAEL, AZARIAH
- THEY SAID, 'WE CAN'T EAT THAT.
00:02:57.01\00:03:00.74
PLEASE LET US EAT PULSE' - OR
VEGETABLES - 'AND JUST GIVE US A
00:03:00.84\00:03:05.91
CHANCE.' AND THE MAN WHO WAS IN
CHARGE OF THE EUNUCHS, HE SAID,
00:03:06.01\00:03:08.95
'I CAN'T DO THAT BECAUSE IF YOU
START LOOKING SCRAWNY AND SICK,
00:03:09.05\00:03:12.29
I'M RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR HEALTH
AND EDUCATION - MY HEAD'LL BE ON
00:03:12.39\00:03:15.79
THE BLOCK.' THEY SAID, 'YOU GIVE
US TEN DAYS.' NOTICE IT SAYS IN
00:03:15.89\00:03:19.63
DANIEL 1, VERSE 8, "BUT DANIEL
PURPOSED IN HIS HEART THAT HE
00:03:19.73\00:03:22.93
WOULD NOT DEFILE"
- HE WOULD NOT WHAT?
00:03:23.03\00:03:25.33
>>DEFILE.
>>"DEFILE HIMSELF WITH A
00:03:25.43\00:03:28.14
PORTION OF THE KING'S MEAT."
SO THEY PROPOSED, TO ASHPENAZ,
00:03:28.24\00:03:33.04
PRINCE OF THE EUNUCHS, "PROVE
YOUR SERVANTS" - 'TEST US' -
00:03:33.14\00:03:36.28
"FOR TEN DAYS, LET US HAVE PULSE
TO EAT AND WATER TO DRINK."
00:03:36.38\00:03:40.08
- 'WE'RE NOT GOING TO EAT
THE BABYLONIAN FOOD AND THE
00:03:40.18\00:03:41.85
FERMENTED WINE.' AND THE BIBLE
SAYS HE CONSENTED TO THAT - "AND
00:03:41.95\00:03:47.22
AT THE END OF THE TEN DAYS THEIR
COUNTENANCES APPEARED FAIRER AND
00:03:47.32\00:03:50.79
FATTER IN FLESH" - YOU KNOW,
THEY HAD JUST COME ACROSS THE
00:03:50.89\00:03:53.83
DESERT - AND "...HE FOUND THEM
TEN TIMES BETTER" - SMARTER -
00:03:53.93\00:03:58.27
"THAN ALL THE MAGICIANS AND
ASTROLOGERS WHO WERE IN ALL HIS
00:03:58.37\00:04:02.24
REALM." AND THE
FIRST CHAPTER OF DANIEL
00:04:02.34\00:04:05.07
CLOSES BY SAYING, "AND DANIEL
CONTINUED UNTIL THE TIME OF KING
00:04:05.17\00:04:08.68
CYRUS" - DANIEL LIVED TO
ABOUT A HUNDRED YEARS OF AGE.
00:04:08.78\00:04:12.48
HE MUST HAVE BEEN 15 TO
17 WHEN HE WAS CARRIED OFF.
00:04:12.58\00:04:16.48
SO, IT'S INTERESTING THAT,
AT THIS VERY IMPORTANT BOOK OF
00:04:16.58\00:04:21.12
PROPHECY IT WOULD MAKE A POINT
THAT DANIEL AND HIS FRIENDS HAD
00:04:21.22\00:04:25.56
PURPOSED THEY WOULD TAKE CARE OF
THEIR BODIES EVEN WHEN THEY WERE
00:04:25.66\00:04:29.16
TEMPTED BY THEIR SURROUNDINGS
AND EVEN THOUGH THERE WAS SOCIAL
00:04:29.26\00:04:32.23
PRESSURE TO COMPROMISE, THEY
SAID, 'NO, THIS IS WHAT GOD SAYS
00:04:32.33\00:04:34.90
ABOUT TREATING OUR BODIES AS THE
TEMPLE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT AND WE
00:04:35.00\00:04:38.81
WILL NOT DEFILE OUR BODIES.
THIS IS A TRUTH THAT HAS BEEN
00:04:38.91\00:04:43.51
LOST BY MUCH OF THE CHRISTIAN
CHURCH AND IT'S AN AREA WHERE
00:04:43.61\00:04:47.05
THERE NEEDS TO BE REVIVAL
AND REFORMATION, AND THAT'S
00:04:47.15\00:04:50.05
ALSO TRUE EVEN
WITHIN OUR DENOMINATION.
00:04:50.15\00:04:54.09
LET'S LOOK AT OUR
LESSON. IT'S GOING TO BRING
00:04:54.19\00:04:55.72
OUT A NUMBER OF POINTS.
FIRST QUESTION: WHAT WAS THE
00:04:55.82\00:04:58.86
ORIGINAL DIET THAT
GOD DESIGNED FOR HUMANS?
00:04:58.96\00:05:02.40
YOU READ IN GENESIS 1, VERSE 29,
"AND GOD SAID, 'BEHOLD, I HAVE
00:05:02.50\00:05:06.97
GIVEN YOU EVERY HERB BEARING
SEED AND IN EVERY TREE IN WHICH
00:05:07.07\00:05:12.37
IS THE FRUIT OF A TREE YIELDING
SEED; TO YOU IT SHALL BE FOR
00:05:12.47\00:05:15.71
MEAT." AND THE
WORD 'MEAT' THERE, IT'S
00:05:15.81\00:05:17.51
KING JAMES - IT
JUST MEANS 'FOR FOOD'.
00:05:17.61\00:05:19.21
AND SO, THE ORIGINAL DIET THAT
GOD GAVE TO MAN WAS A VEGETARIAN
00:05:19.31\00:05:25.15
DIET CONTAIN - IT WAS ACTUALLY
FRUITS, GRAINS, AND NUTS - BEANS
00:05:25.25\00:05:29.96
- BUT LATER GOD
EXPANDED THE DIET.
00:05:30.06\00:05:33.13
THAT'S THE NEXT QUESTION: AFTER
ADAM AND EVE SINNED, - WHEN THEY
00:05:33.23\00:05:36.36
WERE EVICTED FROM THE GARDEN OF
EDEN, THEY COULD NO LONGER EAT
00:05:36.46\00:05:38.57
FROM THE TREE OF LIFE.
GOD THEN SAID, 'ALRIGHT, I
00:05:38.67\00:05:41.20
WANT TO GIVE YOU
SOMETHING SUPPLEMENTAL.'
00:05:41.30\00:05:43.27
WHAT WAS ADDED TO
THEIR DIET AT THAT POINT?
00:05:43.37\00:05:46.88
GENESIS 3, VERSE 18 HE SAID,
"YOU SHALL EAT THE HERB OF THE
00:05:46.98\00:05:51.45
FIELD." - MEANING VEGETABLES.
NOW, I FIND SOMETIMES PEOPLE
00:05:51.55\00:05:56.28
DON'T KNOW THE DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN A FRUIT AND A VEGETABLE.
00:05:56.38\00:05:59.55
LET ME TEST YOU. APPLE. >>FRUIT.
00:05:59.65\00:06:04.49
>>FRUIT. ORANGE? >>FRUIT.
00:06:04.59\00:06:06.36
>>ZUCCHINI? >>FRUIT. (LAUGHTER)
00:06:06.46\00:06:10.87
>>SEE? FRUIT.
ONION? >>VEGETABLE.
00:06:10.97\00:06:17.67
>>VEGETABLE.
BRUSSELS SPROUTS? >>VEGETABLE.
00:06:17.77\00:06:22.11
>>INEDIBLE. (LAUGHTER)
00:06:22.21\00:06:26.45
>>IT'S REAL SIMPLE:
THAT ANYTHING THAT IS THE
00:06:26.55\00:06:28.98
PRODUCT OF THE
BLOSSOM IS THE FRUIT.
00:06:29.08\00:06:31.92
AND ANYTHING THAT'S ANY OTHER
PART OF THE PLANT, WHETHER IT'S
00:06:32.02\00:06:34.26
THE STALK OR THE LEAVES OR
THE BULBS, IT'S A VEGETABLE.
00:06:34.36\00:06:38.26
AND SO, AFTER ADAM AND EVE
AND, YOU KNOW, A LOT OF KIDS OUT
00:06:38.36\00:06:43.77
THERE ARE REALLY SORRY THAT
ADAM AND EVE SINNED BECAUSE THEY
00:06:43.87\00:06:46.10
DIDN'T WANT
VEGETABLES ADDED TO THEIR DIET.
00:06:46.20\00:06:48.84
BUT AFTER THEY SINNED AND THEY
WERE TOLD THEY COULD NO LONGER
00:06:48.94\00:06:51.04
STAY IN THE GARDEN, GOD SAID,
'YOU CAN ALSO EAT THE HERB OF
00:06:51.14\00:06:53.44
THE FIELD.' BUT THE ORIGINAL
DIET FOR MAN WAS A VEGETARIAN
00:06:53.54\00:06:56.28
DIET. AND - I'LL JUST TELL YOU
00:06:56.38\00:07:00.08
RIGHT NOW, I AM
BIASED. I'M A VEGETARIAN.
00:07:00.18\00:07:04.22
I ENCOURAGE
PEOPLE TO CONSIDER IT.
00:07:04.32\00:07:06.05
THE BIBLE DOES NOT
REQUIRE YOU TO BE A VEGETARIAN.
00:07:06.15\00:07:09.22
BUT ARE YOU AWARE THAT WE
WILL BE VEGETARIANS IN HEAVEN?
00:07:09.32\00:07:12.66
>>AMEN. >>YES >>AMEN.
00:07:12.76\00:07:14.03
>>WHEN GOD ASKED ADAM TO NAME
THE ANIMALS, HE DID NOT LOOK AT
00:07:14.13\00:07:17.23
THE COW AND SAY, 'WHOPPER'.
(LAUGHTER) AND HE DID NOT
00:07:17.33\00:07:20.64
LOOK AT THE CHICKENS
AND SAY, 'MCNUGGETS'.
00:07:20.74\00:07:22.70
(LAUGHTER) YOU KNOW, HE WAS
SUPPOSED TO PROTECT THEM, HE
00:07:22.80\00:07:26.94
WASN'T SUPPOSED TO
THINK ABOUT EATING THEM.
00:07:27.04\00:07:29.04
AND IT WASN'T UNTIL AFTER SIN
AND ESPECIALLY AFTER THE FLOOD
00:07:29.14\00:07:32.55
THAT ANIMALS
BECAME A PART OF THE DIET.
00:07:32.65\00:07:34.58
WHAT MAMMALS DOES
GOD SAY WE COULD EAT?
00:07:34.68\00:07:37.15
NOW, I TOLD YOU I'M A
VEGETARIAN. I ENCOURAGE THAT.
00:07:37.25\00:07:40.96
BUT THE BIBLE DOES SAY YOU'RE
GOING TO EAT MEAT, BUT THEN IT
00:07:41.06\00:07:43.02
SAYS IF YOU'RE GOING TO EAT
MEAT THERE ARE SOME CRITERIA.
00:07:43.12\00:07:46.66
YOU CAN READ ABOUT THIS IN
LEVITICUS 11, VERSE 3, "WHATEVER
00:07:46.76\00:07:50.73
PARTS THE HOOF, AND IS CLOVEN
FOOTED AND CHEWS THE CUD, THESE
00:07:50.83\00:07:55.97
YOU CAN EAT." SO
IT NEEDED TO HAVE A
00:07:56.07\00:07:58.54
CLOVEN HOOF - IT NEEDED BOTH
CHARACTERISTICS, NOT JUST ONE.
00:07:58.64\00:08:04.58
BUT EVEN SOME
MEAT IS NOT HEALTHY.
00:08:04.68\00:08:07.28
FOR INSTANCE, YOU KNOW A CAMEL?
00:08:07.38\00:08:08.88
A CAMEL CHEWS THE
CUD BUT IT'S GOT A PAW.
00:08:08.98\00:08:12.39
NOW SOME OF YOU ARE REALLY
BOTHERED BY THAT BECAUSE YOU'RE
00:08:12.49\00:08:14.29
GOING TO HAVE TO TAKE THE CAMEL
OUT OF YOUR FRIDGE TONIGHT RIGHT
00:08:14.39\00:08:17.26
AFTER (LAUGHTER) WELL, YOU KNOW,
THIS WAS A PROBLEM IN CHRIST'S
00:08:17.36\00:08:20.10
TIME. HE SAID,
'YOU STRAIN A GNAT AND
00:08:20.20\00:08:21.50
YOU SWALLOW A
CAMEL' - WHICH IS UNCLEAN.
00:08:21.60\00:08:23.97
HE SAID, 'YOU'RE WORRIED ABOUT
GETTING A LITTLE BITTY BUG IN
00:08:24.07\00:08:25.60
YOUR WATER, BUT THEN YOU GO EAT
CAMEL STEAK WHEN YOU GO HOME AND
00:08:25.70\00:08:28.07
GOD SAYS IT'S UNCLEAN. HAVE YOU
EVER BEEN AROUND CAMELS? I HAVE.
00:08:28.17\00:08:34.44
YEAH. I
WOULDN'T WANT TO EAT ONE.
00:08:34.54\00:08:36.34
NOW, SOME THINGS, THEY CHEW THE
CUD BUT THEY DON'T HAVE A CLOVEN
00:08:36.44\00:08:41.42
HOOF. AND THEN
THERE'S A COUPLE OF
00:08:41.52\00:08:42.78
ANIMALS THAT HAVE A CLOVEN HOOF,
BUT THEY DON'T CHEW THE CUD.
00:08:42.88\00:08:46.05
YOU KNOW WHAT'S
IN THAT CATEGORY?
00:08:46.15\00:08:47.86
AH, THIS ONE'S VERY POPULAR.
PUERCO - THE PIG, THE HOG, THE
00:08:47.96\00:08:55.56
SWINE - "THOUGH IT DIVIDES
THE HOOF, HAVING CLOVEN HOOVES,
00:08:55.66\00:09:00.17
YET DOES NOT CHEW THE
CUD, IS UNCLEAN TO YOU."
00:09:00.27\00:09:03.84
HE GOES ON TO SAY, "THEIR FLESH
YOU SHALL NOT EAT, AND THEIR
00:09:03.94\00:09:07.14
CARCASS YOU SHALL NOT TOUCH."
THERE WAS AN ABOMINATION.
00:09:07.24\00:09:11.88
PIGS ARE FILTHY. I
USED TO TAKE CARE OF MY
00:09:11.98\00:09:14.75
NEIGHBOR'S PIGS WHEN HE WOULD GO
ON VACATION AND, YOU KNOW, I'D
00:09:14.85\00:09:17.65
ALWAYS TRY AND FIND SOME NEW
WORD TO DESCRIBE IT, BUT ALL I
00:09:17.75\00:09:19.92
CAN COME UP WITH IS TO
TELL YOU THAT PIGS ARE PIGS.
00:09:20.02\00:09:23.12
THEIR NAME IS THE DEFINITION.
YOU CAN'T IMPROVE ON IT.
00:09:23.22\00:09:25.96
(LAUGHTER) YOU EVER BEEN BY - OR
DRIVEN BY A PIG SLAUGHTER HOUSE?
00:09:26.06\00:09:31.40
EVEN THE BIBLE SAYS - LIKE THE
SOW THAT WAS WASHED RETURNS TO
00:09:31.50\00:09:35.90
WALLOWING IN THE
MIRE. AND THEIR FLESH IS
00:09:36.00\00:09:40.74
FULL OF DISEASE.
THEY'RE SCAVENGERS.
00:09:40.84\00:09:45.81
GOD MADE SOME ANIMALS THAT ARE
SCAVENGERS AND THEY'RE MADE TO,
00:09:45.91\00:09:49.08
KIND OF, CLEAN
UP THE ENVIRONMENT.
00:09:49.18\00:09:50.59
THEY EAT GARBAGE. WHY
WOULD YOU - YOU WOULDN'T
00:09:50.69\00:09:54.16
EAT GARBAGE BUT YOU'LL
EAT THE GARBAGE CAN (LAUGHTER)
00:09:54.26\00:09:57.09
WHEN YOU EAT A PIG. HOW
MANY OF YOU REMEMBER THIS?
00:09:57.19\00:10:00.80
'THIS LITTLE PIGGY WENT TO THE
MARKET' (LAUGHTER) 'THIS LITTLE
00:10:00.90\00:10:04.00
PIGGY STAYED HOME.
THIS LITTLE PIGGY HAD ROAST
00:10:04.10\00:10:08.30
BEEF' - EVEN A
PIG WON'T EAT PORK.
00:10:08.40\00:10:10.01
(RAUCOUS LAUGHTER) YOU KNOW
I - I REMEMBER READING ONCE - I
00:10:10.11\00:10:17.48
THINK IT WAS ONE OUT OF FIVE
AUTOPSIES DONE IN NORTH AMERICA
00:10:17.58\00:10:20.75
- THEY FOUND OUT THAT
THE CADAVERS HAD SYMPTOMS OR
00:10:20.85\00:10:24.49
EVIDENCE OF TRICHINA POISONING.
TRICHINOSIS IS A VERY TRICKY
00:10:24.59\00:10:33.06
DISEASE IN THAT WHEN THE MUSCLE
TISSUE CONTAINING TRICHINA CYSTS
00:10:33.16\00:10:37.00
ARE EATEN BY A HUMAN, IT SAYS
THE CYSTS ARE THEN DIGESTED IN
00:10:37.10\00:10:40.60
THE STOMACH THEN RELEASE THE
LARVAE WHICH "...MIGRATE TO THE
00:10:40.70\00:10:44.01
INTESTINE, BEGIN
A NEW LIFE CYCLE.
00:10:44.11\00:10:46.24
FEMALE TRICHINA WORMS LIVE ABOUT
SIX WEEKS AND IN THAT TIME THEY
00:10:46.34\00:10:49.64
MAY RELEASE 15,000 LARVAE.
THE MIGRATION AND ENCYSTMENT OF
00:10:49.74\00:10:53.82
LARVAE CAN CAUSE
FEVER, PAIN, OR EVEN DEATH."
00:10:53.92\00:10:56.32
IT CAN CAUSE STIFFNESS IN JOINTS
AND KNEES AND PAIN AND IT'S
00:10:56.42\00:10:59.55
OFTEN MISDIAGNOSED. A
PERSON THINKS, 'I'VE GOT
00:10:59.65\00:11:02.66
BURSITIS' OR 'ARTHRITIS' AND
THEY GOT PIGITIS IS WHAT IT IS
00:11:02.76\00:11:06.70
(LAUGHTER) IT'S FROM - IT'S
VERY COMMON AROUND THE WORLD.
00:11:06.80\00:11:11.97
THERE'S A PICTURE OF A FELLOW.
HE'S GOT HIS LUNCH ON HIS
00:11:12.07\00:11:13.80
BOX - BACK OF HIS BIKE.
ONE NUTRITIONIST WROTE A FEW
00:11:13.90\00:11:20.08
YEARS AGO - AND THIS IS
AN OLD ARTICLE, BUT I LIKE
00:11:20.18\00:11:21.74
THE WAY HE WORDED
IT. SEPTEMBER 6, 1999.
00:11:21.84\00:11:25.18
A "NUTRITIONIST SAID BACON
WASN'T TECHNICALLY MEAT ANYMORE.
00:11:25.28\00:11:28.62
IT DIDN'T BELONG TO
ANY FOOD GROUP AT ALL.
00:11:28.72\00:11:31.02
IT WAS A SALTY NITRATE-RIDDEN,
FAT-LADEN CARCINOGENIC THING."
00:11:31.12\00:11:36.29
WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO
EAT A CARCINOGENIC THING?
00:11:36.39\00:11:42.26
BECAUSE IT TASTES GOOD.
ARE YOU GOING TO BE CONTROLLED
00:11:42.36\00:11:45.20
BY THE SPIRIT OR BY THE FLESH?
NOW SOME OF YOU ARE SAYING,
00:11:45.30\00:11:49.87
'PASTOR DOUG, YOU'RE COMING DOWN
PRETTY HARD ON THOSE OF US WHO
00:11:49.97\00:11:52.17
ARE, YOU KNOW, EATING
MEAT AND STUFF LIKE THAT.
00:11:52.27\00:11:54.98
YOU KNOW, GOD DESIGNED HUMANS
TO EAT MEAT AND THAT'S WHY WE'VE
00:11:55.08\00:11:58.68
GOT THESE CANINE
TEETH, YOU KNOW?'
00:11:58.78\00:12:01.68
I'VE HEARD THAT ARGUMENT
BEFORE. THAT'S NONSENSE.
00:12:01.78\00:12:05.62
THIS FELLA'S GOT
CANINE TEETH TOO.
00:12:05.72\00:12:07.19
(RAUCOUS LAUGHTER)
AND HE'S A VEGETARIAN.
00:12:07.29\00:12:13.73
AS IS THE HIPPO AND THE ELEPHANT
- I DON'T KNOW HOW FAR I WANT TO
00:12:13.83\00:12:15.96
TAKE THIS ILLUSTRATION BUT
- AND, ACTUALLY, THE DIGESTIVE
00:12:16.06\00:12:21.67
SYSTEM OF A CAT OR A CARNIVORE
OR A DOG IS VERY SMOOTH.
00:12:21.77\00:12:27.24
VEGETARIAN ANIMALS HAVE A
MORE COMPLEX DIGESTIVE SYSTEM.
00:12:27.34\00:12:31.38
WHERE THEY'VE GOT THE BROKEN
UP INTESTINE AND WE'RE IN THAT
00:12:31.48\00:12:39.19
CATEGORY. WE THRIVE
ON A VEGETARIAN DIET.
00:12:39.29\00:12:43.22
PEOPLE SAY TO ME ALL THE TIME,
'OH PASTOR DOUG, YOU KNOW, YOU
00:12:43.32\00:12:45.73
CAN'T BE HEALTHY
IF YOU'RE VEGETARIAN.
00:12:45.83\00:12:48.50
YOU'RE NOT GOING TO GET
ENOUGH B-12 AND PROTEIN.'
00:12:48.60\00:12:51.43
THAT IS A MYTH. THAT IS
TOTALLY AN UNEDUCATED STATEMENT.
00:12:51.53\00:12:54.77
I'VE BEEN A
VEGETARIAN FOR FORTY YEARS.
00:12:54.87\00:12:57.64
I LOVE WHEN I GO TO SUBWAY AND I
ORDER A VEGGIE AND THEY SAY, 'DO
00:12:57.74\00:13:00.28
YOU WANT ANY
CHEESE?' I SAID, 'NO.
00:13:00.38\00:13:01.64
I'M A VEGAN TOO.' I
SAID, 'NO, JUST ALL VEGGIES.'
00:13:01.74\00:13:04.71
I SAY, 'I'M A
VEGETARIAN.' 'REALLY?'
00:13:04.81\00:13:06.78
I SAID, 'YEP.' I SAID,
'DO I LOOK 90 YEARS OLD?'
00:13:06.88\00:13:09.98
(LAUGHTER) AND THEY GO, 'WOW,
YOU'RE NOT' - (RAUCOUS LAUGHTER)
00:13:10.09\00:13:18.06
I USUALLY CONFESS THAT
I'M KIDDING AT THAT POINT.
00:13:18.16\00:13:20.00
YOU NOTICE I DIDN'T SAY I
WAS 90, I SAID, 'DO I LOOK 90?'
00:13:20.10\00:13:23.26
(LAUGHTER) OF COURSE,
ONCE I SAID, 'DO I LOOK 70?'
00:13:23.37\00:13:25.80
AND THEY SAID, 'YEAH, ABOUT 70.'
(LAUGHTER) SO I HAD TO UP IT A
00:13:25.90\00:13:29.24
LITTLE BIT. BUT, NO,
YOU KNOW, I REALLY HAVE
00:13:29.34\00:13:34.54
BEEN A VEGETARIAN 40
YEARS AND I FEEL GREAT.
00:13:34.64\00:13:37.35
YOU GET - YOU KNOW, IF YOU - A
PEANUT BUTTER AND JELLY SANDWICH
00:13:37.45\00:13:40.32
HAS EVERYTHING YOU NEED. IF
YOU USE STRAWBERRY PRESERVES
00:13:40.42\00:13:42.98
YOU'VE GOT YOUR FRUITS,
GRAINS, AND NUTS RIGHT THERE.
00:13:43.08\00:13:45.12
THE WHOLE THING.
(LAUGHTER) YOU'VE GOT PROTEIN,
00:13:45.22\00:13:47.32
YOU'VE GOT B-12 -
YOU'VE GOT EVERYTHING YOU NEED.
00:13:47.42\00:13:49.26
AND SOMEBODY SAYS, 'YOU WON'T
GET ENOUGH,' DON'T BELIEVE THAT
00:13:49.36\00:13:52.69
FOR A MINUTE. LOOK WHAT
HAPPENED HERE IN THE BIBLE.
00:13:52.79\00:13:56.10
IT'S KIND OF A PRIMITIVE CHART
BUT YOU SEE HERE, THESE ARE THE
00:13:56.20\00:13:59.40
PEOPLE WHO LIVED IN
THE DAYS BEFORE THE FLOOD.
00:13:59.50\00:14:02.24
YOU'VE GOT SETH, METHUSELAH,
NOAH - THEY'RE LIVES WERE
00:14:02.34\00:14:05.64
MEASURED IN HUNDREDS OF YEARS.
00:14:05.74\00:14:07.74
AFTER THE FLOOD, ALL OF
THE VEGETATION WAS DESTROYED.
00:14:07.84\00:14:10.75
YOU REMEMBER, GOD TOOK THE CLEAN
ANIMALS ON THE ARK BY SEVENS AND
00:14:10.85\00:14:15.68
THEY, OSTENSIBLY,
WOULD SACRIFICE THEM.
00:14:15.78\00:14:19.15
THEY WERE ALLOWED TO EAT OF
THE SACRIFICE, BUT MEAT EATING
00:14:19.25\00:14:21.59
BECAME A LOT MORE
PREDOMINANT AFTER THE FLOOD.
00:14:21.69\00:14:25.06
AND LOOK WHAT
HAPPENED TO THE LIFE SPAN.
00:14:25.16\00:14:28.36
ONE OF THE PLACES IN THE WORLD
WHERE PEOPLE LIVE THE LONGEST IS
00:14:28.46\00:14:31.40
THE HUNZA PEOPLE IN THE
HUNZA VALLEY IN INDIA - LARGELY
00:14:31.50\00:14:34.47
VEGETARIAN - VERY COMMON FOR
THEM TO LIVE OVER 100 YEARS OF
00:14:34.57\00:14:37.84
AGE. THEY DON'T
HAVE A FRACTION OF
00:14:37.94\00:14:40.04
THE MODERN
DISEASES THAT WE EXPERIENCE.
00:14:40.14\00:14:43.98

>>IT'S NO SECRET, FRIENDS,

GOOFY HEALTH FADS THAT
OFTEN END UP HURTING OUR BODIES
00:14:59.16\00:15:01.80
MORE THAN HELPING.
00:15:01.86\00:15:02.96

00:15:48.81\00:15:51.71
AMAZING FACTS
FROM THE WORD OF GOD.
00:15:51.81\00:15:55.58
>>NOW, IF YOU'RE GOING TO
TALK ABOUT - WE TALKED ABOUT THE
00:15:55.68\00:15:57.79
MAMMALS THAT HAD TO HAVE A
CLOVEN HOOF AND CHEW THE CUD -
00:15:57.89\00:16:00.99
WHAT ABOUT THE SEA CREATURES?
WHAT TYPES OF FISH OR SEAFOOD
00:16:01.09\00:16:04.96
ARE CLEAN, BIBLICALLY? YOU
READ IN LEVITICUS 11, VERSE
00:16:05.06\00:16:07.96
9, "THESE YOU CAN EAT OF ALL
THAT ARE IN THE WATERS: WHATEVER
00:16:08.03\00:16:11.50
HAS FINS AND
SCALES...THEM YOU SHALL EAT."
00:16:11.60\00:16:15.64
YOU KNOW, I UNDERSTAND THAT
THE NAVY DID SOME RESEARCH BACK
00:16:15.74\00:16:21.11
AFTER WORLD WAR II BECAUSE
A NUMBER OF PILOTS AND SAILORS
00:16:21.21\00:16:25.28
WERE FLOATING AROUND IN THE
OCEAN - THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHAT
00:16:25.38\00:16:28.78
THEY COULD AND COULDN'T EAT OF
THE FISH THAT KIND OF GATHERED
00:16:28.88\00:16:31.22
AROUND THEIR LIFE RAFTS AND THEY
SAID, 'WE NEED TO GIVE THEM SOME
00:16:31.32\00:16:33.52
CRITERIA THAT THEY CAN REMEMBER
- SOMETHING SIMPLE.' AND THEY
00:16:33.62\00:16:37.03
DID ALL THIS RESEARCH AND ONE OF
THEM SAID, 'YOU KNOW, IT SAYS IN
00:16:37.13\00:16:41.10
THE BIBLE THAT IF IT HAS FINS
AND SCALES IT'S SAFE.' AND THEY
00:16:41.20\00:16:44.93
SAID, 'WELL, LET'S SEE WHAT THAT
LOOKS LIKE.' AND DID ALL THE
00:16:45.03\00:16:46.57
RESEARCH. THEY
SAID, 'THAT'S PROBABLY THE
00:16:46.67\00:16:48.10
BEST RULE OF THUMB WE CAN TELL
THE SAILORS.' THEY FOUND A LOT
00:16:48.20\00:16:52.27
OF TOXINS IN THE SCAVENGERS.
CATFISH DO NOT HAVE SCALES.
00:16:52.37\00:16:59.18
MY BROTHER AND I USED TO CATCH
CATFISH OFF MY DAD'S BACK PORCH.
00:16:59.28\00:17:02.58
HE WAS RIGHT ON
BISCAYNE BAY IN MIAMI BEACH.
00:17:02.68\00:17:04.65
AND, TAKING THE HOOK OUT OF THE
CATFISH, MY BROTHER'S FINGER GOT
00:17:04.75\00:17:09.76
POKED BY THE DORSAL FIN AND IT
WAS SO TOXIC HE COULD NEVER BEND
00:17:09.86\00:17:13.29
HIS FINGER AGAIN. AND
PEOPLE EAT THOSE THINGS.
00:17:13.40\00:17:17.23
WE ATE 'EM TOO BACK
THEN. SHARKS, THEY'VE GOT
00:17:17.33\00:17:20.20
CARTILAGE ON THE
OUTSIDE. THEY'RE SCAVENGERS.
00:17:20.30\00:17:24.04
AND SOME OF YOU ARE
WONDERING, WHAT ABOUT TUNA.
00:17:24.14\00:17:27.18
TUNA HAS SCALES - VERY
SMALL, BUT THEY'VE GOT SCALES.
00:17:27.28\00:17:30.31
AND SO, THEY
NEEDED THESE THINGS.
00:17:30.41\00:17:31.61
SO WHAT WOULD BE UNCLEAN?
"BUT IN THE SEAS" - LEVITICUS
00:17:31.71\00:17:35.32
11:10 STILL - "IN ALL THE SEAS
OF THE RIVERS THOSE THAT DO NOT
00:17:35.42\00:17:39.35
HAVE FINS AND SCALES, ALL THAT
MOVE IN THE WATER OR ANY LIVING
00:17:39.45\00:17:42.66
THING WHICH IS IN THE WATER,
THEY ARE AN ABOMINATION TO YOU."
00:17:42.76\00:17:46.53
NOW THERE'S NO TIME IN THE BIBLE
WHEN GOD CALLS SOMETHING AN
00:17:46.63\00:17:49.10
ABOMINATION IN ONE PART THAT IT
IS THEN BLESSED IN ANOTHER PART.
00:17:49.20\00:17:52.73
ANYTHING THAT'S DECLARED
BY GOD AN ABOMINATION STAYS AN
00:17:52.83\00:17:55.30
ABOMINATION. AND, BY
THE WAY, THESE ARE NOT
00:17:55.40\00:18:00.08
LAWS JUST FOR ONE GROUP OF
PEOPLE, THESE ARE LAWS THAT
00:18:00.18\00:18:02.88
GOD GAVE TO HUMANITY IN THE
BEGINNING. WHAT ABOUT THE BIRDS?
00:18:02.98\00:18:06.88
IF YOU'RE GOING TO EAT
MEAT, WHAT BIRDS ARE CLEAN?
00:18:06.98\00:18:09.85
WELL, THE WAY THEY RAISE
SOME BIRDS, I DON'T WANT TO EAT
00:18:09.95\00:18:13.76
ANYTHING BUT, BIBLICALLY, IT
NEEDED TO BE A FORAGING BIRD.
00:18:13.86\00:18:18.23
THE ONES THAT ARE UNCLEAN -
IT SAYS, "EVERY RAVEN AFTER ITS
00:18:18.33\00:18:20.60
KIND," - AND THE "OWL,
AND THE NIGHT HAWK, AND
00:18:20.70\00:18:24.13
THE CUCKAW, AND THE
HAWK AFTER ITS KIND."
00:18:24.23\00:18:26.87
- THE SCAVENGERS - THE RAPTORS
- THEY WERE UNCLEAN - THE
00:18:26.97\00:18:32.17
OMNIVORES. THE
FORAGING BIRDS LIKE THE
00:18:32.27\00:18:36.04
PHEASANT AND THE QUAIL AND THE
CHICKEN AND THE TURKEY, YOU'LL
00:18:36.14\00:18:40.18
BE HAPPY TO KNOW, ARE IN
THE CLEAN CATEGORY. (LAUGHTER)
00:18:40.28\00:18:44.29
PIGEON IS CLEAN, WHICH MEANS
THEY'LL NEVER STARVE IN NEW YORK
00:18:44.39\00:18:48.99
CITY. (LAUGHTER) I WOULDN'T
EAT ANY OF THOSE, THOUGH.
00:18:49.09\00:18:54.56
BUT THEY WERE
TYPICALLY IN THAT CATEGORY.
00:18:54.63\00:18:57.40
SO, ARE THE LAWS ABOUT THE CLEAN
AND UNCLEAN ANIMALS PART OF
00:18:57.50\00:19:00.50
MOSES' CEREMONIAL LAW
THAT ENDED AT THE CROSS?
00:19:00.60\00:19:03.34
THIS IS THE ARGUMENT -
HAVE YOU HEARD THIS BEFORE?
00:19:03.44\00:19:05.57
NO, YOU READ IN GENESIS 7, WHEN
GOD WAS TELLING NOAH TO BRING
00:19:05.67\00:19:10.88
THE ANIMALS ON THE ARK, EVERYONE
SAYS, 'OH YEAH, THEY WENT ON THE
00:19:10.98\00:19:13.18
ARK TWO BY
TWO.' NOT ALL OF THEM.
00:19:13.28\00:19:15.92
THE UNCLEAN ANIMALS WENT BY TWO.
THE CLEAN ANIMALS WENT BY SEVEN.
00:19:16.02\00:19:20.82
"COME INTO THE ARK YOU AND ALL
YOUR HOUSEHOLD..." AND IT SAYS
00:19:20.92\00:19:23.83
OF THE BEASTS THAT ARE NOT
CLEAN THEY'LL BRING BY TWO.
00:19:23.93\00:19:27.60
OF THE CLEAN
BEASTS, THEY COME BY SEVENS.
00:19:27.66\00:19:31.30
LIKE YOU MIGHT HAVE
THE STAG AND SEVEN DOES.
00:19:31.40\00:19:34.17
YOU HAVE THE BULL AND - OR SIX
COWS AND THE BULL - AND SO THEY
00:19:34.27\00:19:37.34
MAY HAVE
DIVIDED IT UP LIKE THAT.
00:19:37.44\00:19:39.01
AND SO, HOW MANY
HERE ARE RELATED TO NOAH?
00:19:39.11\00:19:44.31
THAT'D BE ALL OF YOU.
(LAUGHTER) HOW MANY OF YOU NEVER
00:19:44.41\00:19:46.75
RAISE YOUR HAND WHEN
THE PASTOR ASKS A QUESTION?
00:19:46.85\00:19:48.68
(RAUCOUS LAUGHTER) SOME OF YOU
WERE HONEST ENOUGH TO FINALLY
00:19:48.78\00:19:51.99
RAISE YOUR HAND
FOR THAT QUESTION.
00:19:52.09\00:19:55.12
BUT WE'RE ALL RELATED TO NOAH.
SO GOD MAKES A DISTINCTION OF
00:19:55.22\00:19:58.69
CLEAN AND UNCLEAN RIGHT
BACK THERE IN THE BEGINNING.
00:19:58.79\00:20:02.13
THESE THINGS - WE KNOW TODAY
THAT THERE'S HEALTH PRINCIPLES.
00:20:02.23\00:20:06.17
BY THE WAY, NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC
DID AN ARTICLE A FEW YEARS AGO
00:20:06.27\00:20:11.44
CALLED THE BLUE
ZONES . DID ANY OF YOU HERE
00:20:11.54\00:20:13.27
EVER SEE THIS MAGAZINE?
IT TALKED ABOUT THE AREAS OF
00:20:13.38\00:20:15.68
THE WORLD WHERE
PEOPLE LIVE THE LONGEST.
00:20:15.78\00:20:18.18
THEY CAME UP WITH THREE GROUPS:
THE PEOPLE THAT LIVE IN SARDINIA
00:20:18.28\00:20:22.82
- THE MEDITERRANEAN, THE PEOPLE
THAT LIVE IN OKINAWA, JAPAN -
00:20:22.92\00:20:27.32
SOME OF THE OLDEST IN THE WORLD,
AND THE THIRD CATEGORY WAS
00:20:27.42\00:20:29.99
SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTISTS
THAT LIVE IN LOMA LINDA.
00:20:30.09\00:20:32.66
OR SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTISTS,
BUT THAT'S JUST AN ENCLAVE DOWN
00:20:32.76\00:20:36.46
THERE AND SO THEY SAW
THERE WAS A CONCENTRATION.
00:20:36.56\00:20:38.83
AND SO, THEY SPECIFICALLY
SAID SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTISTS.
00:20:38.93\00:20:42.07
WHAT DO THEY ATTRIBUTE THAT
TO? THEIR HEALTHY LIFESTYLE.
00:20:42.17\00:20:47.34
>>AMEN. >>FOLLOWING THE BIBLICAL
00:20:47.44\00:20:48.98
CRITERIA, AMONG OTHER THINGS,
HAVING A DAY OF REST HELPS ALSO.
00:20:49.08\00:20:53.55
AND THEY LIVE A LOT LONGER.
I WAS VISITING A SISTER TODAY,
00:20:53.65\00:20:59.45
93 YEARS OLD UP
AND AROUND DOING FINE.
00:20:59.55\00:21:03.19
THIS IS A PICTURE OF ONE OF
MY CHURCH MEMBERS, 111 AND STILL
00:21:03.29\00:21:07.20
GOING - VIOLA COOK. AND
IT JUST WAS AMAZING TO ME,
00:21:07.30\00:21:14.47
HER BROTHER-IN-LAW TOLD ME - ART
REED - GAVE ME SOME GOOD ADVICE
00:21:14.57\00:21:19.11
- IF YOU FORGET EVERYTHING I SAY
TONIGHT, REMEMBER THIS: I SAID,
00:21:19.21\00:21:21.48
'ART, HOW COME YOU'RE
SO OLD AND SO HEALTHY?'
00:21:21.58\00:21:23.91
HE SAID, 'THREE THINGS:
STOP EATING WHILE YOU'RE STILL A
00:21:24.01\00:21:27.25
LITTLE HUNGRY, WAKE UP WHEN
YOU'RE STILL A LITTLE SLEEPY,
00:21:27.35\00:21:32.05
AND STOP TALKING WHEN YOU STILL
HAVE SOMETHING LEFT TO SAY.'
00:21:32.15\00:21:34.66
(LAUGHTER) SECRET TO LIFE.
00:21:34.76\00:21:39.46
DOES GOD SAY THAT EATING UNCLEAN
FOOD IS A SERIOUS OFFENSE?
00:21:39.56\00:21:45.23
SOME PEOPLE THINK, 'OH,
THE BIBLE LAWS ABOUT HEALTH ARE
00:21:45.33\00:21:47.67
RECOMMENDATIONS.' THE
BIBLE DOESN'T CALL THEM
00:21:47.77\00:21:49.24
RECOMMENDATIONS,
IT CALLS THEM LAWS.
00:21:49.34\00:21:51.31
LISTEN TO WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS
IN ISAIAH 66, VERSES 15 AND 17:
00:21:51.41\00:21:55.14
"FOR BEHOLD, THE LORD WILL COME
WITH FIRE AND WITH HIS CHARIOTS,
00:21:55.24\00:21:58.65
LIKE A WHIRLWIND, TO
RENDER HIS ANGER WITH FURY.
00:21:58.75\00:22:02.65
THOSE WHO SANCTIFY THEMSELVES
AND PURIFY THEMSELVES..."
00:22:02.75\00:22:06.25
- THEY'RE DECLARING THEMSELVES
SANCTIFIED AND PURE - "'EATING
00:22:06.35\00:22:08.46
SWINE'S FLESH AND THE
ABOMINATION AND THE MOUSE, SHALL
00:22:08.56\00:22:14.03
BE CONSUMED
TOGETHER,' SAYS THE LORD."
00:22:14.13\00:22:17.07
'OH, PASTOR DOUG, ARE YOU
TELLING ME THAT MY BLT SANDWICH
00:22:17.17\00:22:20.17
IS NO MORE? IT
TASTES SO GOOD.' YOU KNOW,
00:22:20.27\00:22:25.64
WHEN YOU REALLY THINK
ABOUT IT, THERE ARE SO MANY
00:22:25.74\00:22:27.34
GOOD THINGS TO EAT. I'M
SURPRISED - PEOPLE SAY TO
00:22:27.44\00:22:30.28
ME, 'PASTOR DOUG,
YOU'RE A VEGETARIAN.
00:22:30.38\00:22:32.18
WHAT DO YOU EAT?'
(LAUGHTER) WELL, I EAT GREAT.
00:22:32.28\00:22:38.42
LOTS OF THINGS. YOU
GROW UP LEARNING A CERTAIN
00:22:38.52\00:22:41.52
WAY AND YOU THINK
THAT'S THE ONLY WAY.
00:22:41.62\00:22:43.39
YOU'VE GOT TO JUST LEARN TO
DO GOOD - LEARN A NEW WAY - AND
00:22:43.49\00:22:45.93
YOU'LL BE FINE. SOME
PEOPLE THINK, 'WELL, IF GOD
00:22:46.03\00:22:48.26
DOESN'T WANT US TO EAT
IT, WHY DID HE MAKE IT?'
00:22:48.36\00:22:51.40
AND IT'S ALMOST LIKE A BUMPER
STICKER THAT YOU WOULD FIND
00:22:51.50\00:22:53.80
SOMEWHERE ON BUBBA'S TRUCK: 'GOD
MADE IT SO WE CAN KILL IT AND
00:22:53.90\00:22:58.04
EAT IT.' HE
DIDN'T MAKE ANY OF THE
00:22:58.14\00:23:00.58
ANIMALS FOR US TO KILL AND EAT.
00:23:00.68\00:23:03.01
PEOPLE QUOTE THIS VERSE IN 1
TIMOTHY 4:4, "FOR EVERY CREATURE
00:23:03.11\00:23:06.68
OF GOD IS GOOD," -
HAVE YOU HEARD THIS BEFORE?
00:23:06.78\00:23:09.45
- "AND NOTHING TO BE REFUSED IF
IT IS RECEIVED WITH THANKSGIVING
00:23:09.55\00:23:13.12
AND PRAYER." NOW THEY
DON'T READ THE CONTEXT
00:23:13.22\00:23:16.56
- THEY DON'T READ WHAT
IT SAYS BEFORE OR AFTER.
00:23:16.66\00:23:18.09
IT SAYS, FIRST OF ALL, THAT
IT'LL BE SANCTIFIED BY THE WORD
00:23:18.19\00:23:19.79
OF GOD. THAT
MEANS THE CREATURES THAT
00:23:19.89\00:23:22.33
ARE APPROVED IN THE WORD OF
GOD CAN BE SANCTIFIED BY PRAYER.
00:23:22.43\00:23:26.70
BUT THIS NOTION THAT CHRISTIANS
BELIEVE - AND THIS IS WHERE -
00:23:26.80\00:23:30.17
BOY, I HOPE THIS SINKS IN WITH
THINKING CHRISTIANS OUT THERE -
00:23:30.27\00:23:33.81
THE IDEA THAT WE'RE FREE
NOW FROM THE LAWS ABOUT HEALTH
00:23:33.91\00:23:37.55
BECAUSE WE JUST PRAY AND
GOD BLESSES WHATEVER WE EAT.
00:23:37.65\00:23:41.25
YOU WOULD NOT ACCEPT
THAT FROM YOUR CHILDREN.
00:23:41.35\00:23:44.05
HOW MANY ARE PARENTS OUT THERE?
ARE THEY RAISING THEIR HANDS?
00:23:44.15\00:23:49.12
IF YOU WERE GETTING READY FOR
WORK ONE DAY AND YOUR KIDS WERE
00:23:49.22\00:23:52.13
FIXING THEIR OWN BREAKFAST, YOU
KNOW, THEY'RE A LITTLE OLDER,
00:23:52.23\00:23:54.13
AND YOU SEE THAT THEY'RE POURING
SUGAR FROSTED FLAKES IN THEIR
00:23:54.23\00:24:00.37
BOWL AND THEY'RE PUTTING SUGAR
ON TOP OF IT, THEN THEY GO IN
00:24:00.47\00:24:03.20
THE FREEZER AND GET A SCOOP OF
CHOCOLATE ICE CREAM, THEN THEY
00:24:03.30\00:24:05.77
GET SOME CARAMEL SYRUP, AND YOU
SAY, 'WHAT IN THE WORLD DO YOU
00:24:05.87\00:24:08.88
THINK YOU'RE DOING?'
'DON'T WORRY, MOM, DAD, I'M
00:24:08.98\00:24:12.35
GOING TO ASK JESUS TO BLESS IT.'
00:24:12.45\00:24:14.05
(LAUGHTER) WOULD
YOU SAY, 'WELL, THAT'S
00:24:14.15\00:24:17.89
OKAY, AS LONG AS
YOU PRAY OVER IT,
00:24:17.99\00:24:19.35
THAT'LL BE OKAY.' HOW
MANY WOULD ACCEPT THAT?
00:24:19.45\00:24:22.96
THEN WHY DO WE THINK THAT WE CAN
TEMPT THE LORD BY GOING AGAINST
00:24:23.06\00:24:27.36
THE BASIC PRINCIPLES OF HEALTH
IN THE BIBLE AND SAY, 'BUT I
00:24:27.46\00:24:29.83
PRAYED OVER IT.' WHEN THE BIBLE
TALKS ABOUT THAT, IT'S TALKING
00:24:29.93\00:24:34.24
ABOUT THERE WAS A BIG CONTEST
BETWEEN THE JEWISH CHRISTIANS
00:24:34.34\00:24:38.51
AND THE GENTILE CHRISTIANS
AND THE JEWISH CHRISTIANS SAID,
00:24:38.61\00:24:40.74
'OH, THAT MEAT HAD
BEEN OFFERED TO AN IDOL.
00:24:40.84\00:24:42.88
YOU CAN'T EAT IT.' AND
PAUL SAID, 'LOOK, THE IDOL'S
00:24:42.98\00:24:44.75
NOTHING.' YOU PRAY OVER IT - HE
WAS TALKING ABOUT CLEAN ANIMALS
00:24:44.85\00:24:47.78
THAT MAYBE THEY HAD BOUGHT IN
A GENTILE MARKETPLACE - GOAT OR
00:24:47.88\00:24:51.49
TURKEY OR SHEEP OR WHATEVER
IT WAS - AND THE JEWS HAD A VERY
00:24:51.59\00:24:56.09
SENSITIVE CONSCIENCE, THEY
SAID, 'BUT IT WAS A GENTILE
00:24:56.19\00:24:58.69
MARKETPLACE. THEY
BUTCHER THINGS AND THEY
00:24:58.79\00:25:00.50
OFFER THEM TO GODS BEFORE THEY
BUTCHER THEM.' PAUL SAID, 'LOOK,
00:25:00.60\00:25:04.40
IT'S SANCTIFIED
BY THE WORD OF GOD.
00:25:04.50\00:25:05.90
GOD'S WORD SAID YOU CAN EAT THAT
GOAT - THAT SHEEP - AND YOU'VE
00:25:06.00\00:25:08.74
PRAYED OVER IT.
DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT.'
00:25:08.84\00:25:10.37
HOW MANY OF YOU EAT CHINESE
FOOD IN A CHINESE RESTAURANT?
00:25:10.47\00:25:12.54
I DO. I DID THIS WEEK.
00:25:12.67\00:25:14.34
AND WHEN I WENT IN, THERE
WAS A BUDDHA IN THE RESTAURANT.
00:25:14.44\00:25:20.22
NOW, SOME CHRISTIANS
MIGHT HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THAT.
00:25:20.32\00:25:22.22
THEY MIGHT SAY, 'I CAN'T EAT
IN THERE, THERE WAS A BUDDHA.
00:25:22.32\00:25:24.19
I'LL BE SUPPORTING BUDDHA
IF I EAT IN THAT RESTAURANT.'
00:25:24.29\00:25:26.82
(LAUGHTER) PAUL WAS SAYING,
'LOOK, YOU PRAY OVER YOUR FOOD.
00:25:26.92\00:25:30.19
DON'T WORRY ABOUT WHAT THEY
THINK ABOUT - THE COOK MIGHT BE
00:25:30.29\00:25:32.59
A BUDDHIST - IT'S NOT GOING TO
HURT YOU.' THIS WAS THE ISSUE.
00:25:32.69\00:25:35.83
IT WASN'T SAYING
YOU COULD EAT ANYTHING.
00:25:35.93\00:25:38.87
THAT'S IRRESPONSIBLE. WE
ALL KNOW BETTER THAN THAT.
00:25:38.97\00:25:42.54
WHAT YOU EAT IS GOING
TO AFFECT YOUR HEALTH.
00:25:42.64\00:25:44.84
HOW MUCH YOU EAT IS
GOING TO AFFECT YOUR HEALTH.
00:25:44.94\00:25:48.48
SOME WILL SAY, 'WHAT ABOUT THE
VISION THAT PETER HAD IN ACTS
00:25:48.58\00:25:51.18
CHAPTER 10?' SOME OF
YOU REMEMBER, IT TELLS
00:25:51.28\00:25:54.95
US THAT CORNELIUS, A GENTILE,
AND HIS FAMILY FULL OF GENTILES,
00:25:55.05\00:25:59.42
AN ANGEL SAYS, 'YOU
MUST HEAR FROM PETER.'
00:25:59.52\00:26:03.19
THEY SEND MESSENGERS TO PETER.
NORMALLY JEWS DID NOT PREACH
00:26:03.29\00:26:05.93
TO THE GENTILES
IN THOSE EARLY DAYS.
00:26:06.03\00:26:08.23
PETER'S UP ON THE ROOF,
HE'S PRAYING, HE'S HUNGRY.
00:26:08.33\00:26:11.07
GOD GIVES HIM A VISION OF
A SHEET THAT COMES DOWN FROM
00:26:11.17\00:26:13.10
HEAVEN, FULL OF ALL THESE
UNCLEAN ANIMALS AND GOD SAYS,
00:26:13.20\00:26:15.84
'ARISE AND EAT.' NOTICE
WHAT PETER SAYS: 'NOT SO, LORD.
00:26:15.94\00:26:20.38
I HAVE NEVER EATEN ANYTHING
COMMON OR UNCLEAN.' AND THE
00:26:20.48\00:26:24.78
BIBLE SAYS, 'DO NOT CALL UNCLEAN
WHAT I HAVE CLEANSED.' AND HE'S
00:26:24.88\00:26:29.15
WONDERING - THIS HAPPENS THREE
TIMES - HE NEVER TAKES ANYTHING
00:26:29.25\00:26:31.29
OUT OF THE SHEET - IT'S A
VISION - YOU CAN'T EAT A VISION.
00:26:31.39\00:26:33.72
HE NEVER TAKES ANYTHING OUT
OF THE SHEET. HE NEVER EATS IT.
00:26:33.82\00:26:37.16
AND HE'S WONDERING
WHAT THE VISION MEANS.
00:26:37.26\00:26:39.89
AND SOME GENTILES KNOCK ON
THE DOOR DOWNSTAIRS AND PETER
00:26:40.00\00:26:42.83
EXPLAINS WHAT
THIS VISION IS ABOUT.
00:26:42.93\00:26:44.83
HE SAID, 'GOD HAS TOLD ME NOT TO
CALL ANY MAN' - THAT'S A FUNNY
00:26:44.93\00:26:49.80
WAY TO SPELL 'PIG' - IT DOESN'T
SAY GOD SHOWED ME NOT TO CALL
00:26:49.90\00:26:53.78
ANY SWINE UNCLEAN.' HE SAID NOT
TO CALL ANY MAN UNCLEAN BECAUSE
00:26:53.88\00:26:56.95
THE JEWS WERE
CALLING THE GENTILES UNCLEAN.
00:26:57.05\00:26:59.71
THIS VISION HAD
NOTHING TO DO WITH FOOD.
00:26:59.81\00:27:02.55
IT HAD TO DO WITH TAKING
THE GOSPEL TO THE GENTILES.
00:27:02.65\00:27:05.29
SO PASTORS THAT SAY
THAT, THEY'RE BEING DISHONEST.
00:27:05.39\00:27:08.66
THEY KNOW THAT'S NOT WHAT
WAS REALLY HAPPENING THERE.
00:27:08.76\00:27:11.33
DOES IT MAKE A
DIFFERENCE WHAT WE EAT?
00:27:11.43\00:27:13.86
DO YOU KNOW WHY WE'RE ALL
HAVING PROBLEMS WITH SIN AND
00:27:13.96\00:27:15.76
TEMPTATION? BECAUSE
OUR FIRST PARENTS ATE
00:27:15.86\00:27:19.10
SOMETHING THEY
WEREN'T SUPPOSED TO EAT.
