>>IN JANUARY 2010, A MINIVAN
STRUCK AND KILLED A MAN CROSSING
00:00:09.54\00:00:13.64
A BROOKLYN STREET - ESPECIALLY
TRAGIC BECAUSE THIS WAS NO
00:00:13.68\00:00:17.85
ORDINARY MAN. JOE
ROLLINO WOULD HAVE BEEN
00:00:17.88\00:00:21.38
105 YEARS OLD IN
MARCH. HIS FRIENDS SAID HE WAS
00:00:21.42\00:00:24.75
THE MODEL OF HEALTH. A
WORLD WAR II VET WITH THREE
00:00:24.79\00:00:28.19
PURPLE HEARTS, ROLLINO GOT HIS
START IN THE 1920S AT THE CONEY
00:00:28.22\00:00:31.89
ISLAND CARNIVAL, BILLED AS 'THE
STRONGEST MAN IN THE WORLD'.
00:00:31.93\00:00:36.33
FIVE-FEET FIVE-INCHES TALL
AND WEIGHING 150 POUNDS, FOR HIS
00:00:36.36\00:00:40.67
SIZE HE WAS ONE OF
THE STRONGEST MEN EVER.
00:00:40.70\00:00:44.17
HE COULD MOVE 3200 POUNDS WITH
HIS BACK, LIFT 475 POUNDS WITH
00:00:44.21\00:00:49.31
HIS TEETH, AND 635 POUNDS
HE COULD LIFT WITH ONE FINGER.
00:00:49.34\00:00:55.15
AT JOE ROLLINO'S 103RD BIRTHDAY
PARTY, A FRIEND GAVE HIM A
00:00:55.18\00:00:58.22
QUARTER AND ROLLINO
BENT IT WITH HIS FINGERS.
00:00:58.25\00:01:01.66
HE THEN APOLOGIZED BECAUSE
HE USED TO DO IT WITH A DIME.
00:01:01.69\00:01:05.36
DID I MENTION THAT JOE ROLLINO
DIDN'T DRINK OR SMOKE, HE
00:01:05.39\00:01:08.66
EXERCISED DAILY, AND HE
WAS A LIFE-LONG VEGETARIAN?
00:01:08.70\00:01:12.60
YOU KNOW, THE BIBLE ALSO MAKES A
CONNECTION BETWEEN A VERY STRONG
00:01:12.63\00:01:15.90
MAN AND A UNIQUE LIFESTYLE.
THE BIBLE SAYS SAMSON DID NOT
00:01:15.94\00:01:20.04
DRINK AND HE STAYED
AWAY FROM UNCLEAN FOODS.
00:01:20.08\00:01:23.35
WOULD YOU LIKE TO
LIVE TO A HEALTHY 100?
00:01:23.38\00:01:25.95
ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE WHEN
WE FOLLOW GOD'S HEALTH PLAN.
00:01:25.98\00:01:29.52
SO JOIN ME NOW, AS WE
TAKE A DEEPER LOOK INTO THIS
00:01:29.55\00:01:32.29
LIFE-CHANGING SUBJECT.
00:01:32.32\00:01:34.56
>>TONIGHT I'M GOING TO BE
00:01:38.43\00:01:39.66
SHARING A TOPIC THAT I THINK THE
CHRISTIAN WORLD IS LONG OVERDUE
00:01:39.69\00:01:47.97
TO UNDERSTAND THIS ISSUE
AND PEOPLE HAVE SUFFERED GREATLY
00:01:48.00\00:01:52.17
BECAUSE THEY DO NOT UNDERSTAND
THIS PRINCIPLE FROM THE BIBLE
00:01:52.21\00:01:55.58
THAT IS VERY PRACTICAL.
NOW, OUR MESSAGE TONIGHT IS
00:01:55.61\00:02:00.72
DEALING WITH THE SUBJECT OF
HEALING, HEALTH AND HOLINESS.
00:02:00.75\00:02:05.19
IT BEGINS WITH A STORY THAT YOU
FIND IN A BOOK OF PROPHECY AND
00:02:05.22\00:02:09.66
IT'S IN DANIEL CHAPTER
1. IT TELLS THAT AFTER KING
00:02:09.69\00:02:12.89
NEBUCHADNEZZAR HAD CONQUERED
BABYLON, HE TOOK SOME OF THE -
00:02:12.93\00:02:17.37
THE BRIGHTEST AND THE BEST OF
THE NATION AND HE BROUGHT THEM
00:02:17.40\00:02:20.04
WITH HIM BACK TO BABYLON AND
HE SAID, 'LOOK, WE'RE GOING TO
00:02:20.07\00:02:23.20
TRAIN YOU IN THE
LANGUAGE OF THE CHALDEANS.
00:02:23.24\00:02:25.51
WE'RE GOING TO FEED YOU FROM OUR
CAFETERIA FOR THREE YEARS AND
00:02:25.54\00:02:28.81
WE'RE GOING TO PREPARE TO YOU TO
BE AMBASSADORS REPRESENTING YOUR
00:02:28.84\00:02:31.78
PART OF THE WORLD AND GO TO THE
UNIVERSITY OF BABYLON.' AND YOU
00:02:31.81\00:02:37.45
THINK, 'WELL, THAT
WILL BE REALLY GOOD.
00:02:37.49\00:02:38.69
YOU'D BE EATING FROM
THE BABYLONIAN CAFETERIA.'
00:02:38.72\00:02:41.46
BUT THERE'S A PROBLEM WITH THAT.
BABYLONIANS ATE THINGS THAT GOD
00:02:41.49\00:02:47.13
HAD TOLD HIS PEOPLE
THEY'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO EAT.
00:02:47.13\00:02:49.86
SO DANIEL AND HIS THREE FRIENDS
THAT HAD BEEN CARRIED OFF TO
00:02:49.90\00:02:52.47
BABYLON: SHADRACH, MESHACH,
ABEDNEGO - THEIR HEBREW NAMES
00:02:52.50\00:02:56.97
WERE HANANIAH, MISHAEL, AZARIAH
- THEY SAID, 'WE CAN'T EAT THAT.
00:02:57.01\00:03:00.81
PLEASE LET US EAT PULSE' - OR
VEGETABLES - 'AND JUST GIVE US A
00:03:00.84\00:03:05.98
CHANCE.' AND THE MAN WHO WAS IN
CHARGE OF THE EUNUCHS, HE SAID,
00:03:06.01\00:03:09.02
'I CAN'T DO THAT BECAUSE IF YOU
START LOOKING SCRAWNY AND SICK,
00:03:09.05\00:03:12.35
I'M RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR HEALTH
AND EDUCATION - MY HEAD'LL BE ON
00:03:12.39\00:03:15.86
THE BLOCK.' THEY SAID, 'YOU GIVE
US TEN DAYS.' NOTICE IT SAYS IN
00:03:15.89\00:03:19.69
DANIEL 1, VERSE 8, "BUT DANIEL
PURPOSED IN HIS HEART THAT HE
00:03:19.73\00:03:23.00
WOULD NOT DEFILE"
- HE WOULD NOT WHAT?
00:03:23.03\00:03:25.40
>>DEFILE.
>>"DEFILE HIMSELF WITH A
00:03:25.43\00:03:28.20
PORTION OF THE KING'S MEAT."
SO THEY PROPOSED, TO ASHPENAZ,
00:03:28.24\00:03:33.11
PRINCE OF THE EUNUCHS, "PROVE
YOUR SERVANTS" - 'TEST US' -
00:03:33.14\00:03:36.34
"FOR TEN DAYS, LET US HAVE PULSE
TO EAT AND WATER TO DRINK."
00:03:36.38\00:03:40.15
- 'WE'RE NOT GOING TO EAT
THE BABYLONIAN FOOD AND THE
00:03:40.18\00:03:41.92
FERMENTED WINE.' AND THE BIBLE
SAYS HE CONSENTED TO THAT - "AND
00:03:41.95\00:03:47.29
AT THE END OF THE TEN DAYS THEIR
COUNTENANCES APPEARED FAIRER AND
00:03:47.32\00:03:50.86
FATTER IN FLESH" - YOU KNOW,
THEY HAD JUST COME ACROSS THE
00:03:50.89\00:03:53.90
DESERT - AND "...HE FOUND THEM
TEN TIMES BETTER" - SMARTER -
00:03:53.93\00:03:58.33
"THAN ALL THE MAGICIANS AND
ASTROLOGERS WHO WERE IN ALL HIS
00:03:58.37\00:04:02.30
REALM." AND THE
FIRST CHAPTER OF DANIEL
00:04:02.34\00:04:05.14
CLOSES BY SAYING, "AND DANIEL
CONTINUED UNTIL THE TIME OF KING
00:04:05.17\00:04:08.74
CYRUS" - DANIEL LIVED TO
ABOUT A HUNDRED YEARS OF AGE.
00:04:08.78\00:04:12.55
HE MUST HAVE BEEN 15 TO
17 WHEN HE WAS CARRIED OFF.
00:04:12.58\00:04:16.55
SO, IT'S INTERESTING THAT,
AT THIS VERY IMPORTANT BOOK OF
00:04:16.58\00:04:21.19
PROPHECY IT WOULD MAKE A POINT
THAT DANIEL AND HIS FRIENDS HAD
00:04:21.22\00:04:25.63
PURPOSED THEY WOULD TAKE CARE OF
THEIR BODIES EVEN WHEN THEY WERE
00:04:25.66\00:04:29.23
TEMPTED BY THEIR SURROUNDINGS
AND EVEN THOUGH THERE WAS SOCIAL
00:04:29.26\00:04:32.30
PRESSURE TO COMPROMISE, THEY
SAID, 'NO, THIS IS WHAT GOD SAYS
00:04:32.33\00:04:34.97
ABOUT TREATING OUR BODIES AS THE
TEMPLE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT AND WE
00:04:35.00\00:04:38.87
WILL NOT DEFILE OUR BODIES.
THIS IS A TRUTH THAT HAS BEEN
00:04:38.91\00:04:43.58
LOST BY MUCH OF THE CHRISTIAN
CHURCH AND IT'S AN AREA WHERE
00:04:43.61\00:04:47.12
THERE NEEDS TO BE REVIVAL
AND REFORMATION, AND THAT'S
00:04:47.15\00:04:50.12
ALSO TRUE EVEN
WITHIN OUR DENOMINATION.
00:04:50.15\00:04:54.16
LET'S LOOK AT OUR
LESSON. IT'S GOING TO BRING
00:04:54.19\00:04:55.79
OUT A NUMBER OF POINTS.
FIRST QUESTION: WHAT WAS THE
00:04:55.82\00:04:58.93
ORIGINAL DIET THAT
GOD DESIGNED FOR HUMANS?
00:04:58.96\00:05:02.46
YOU READ IN GENESIS 1, VERSE 29,
"AND GOD SAID, 'BEHOLD, I HAVE
00:05:02.50\00:05:07.04
GIVEN YOU EVERY HERB BEARING
SEED AND IN EVERY TREE IN WHICH
00:05:07.07\00:05:12.44
IS THE FRUIT OF A TREE YIELDING
SEED; TO YOU IT SHALL BE FOR
00:05:12.47\00:05:15.78
MEAT." AND THE
WORD 'MEAT' THERE, IT'S
00:05:15.81\00:05:17.58
KING JAMES - IT
JUST MEANS 'FOR FOOD'.
00:05:17.61\00:05:19.28
AND SO, THE ORIGINAL DIET THAT
GOD GAVE TO MAN WAS A VEGETARIAN
00:05:19.31\00:05:25.22
DIET CONTAIN - IT WAS ACTUALLY
FRUITS, GRAINS, AND NUTS - BEANS
00:05:25.25\00:05:30.03
- BUT LATER GOD
EXPANDED THE DIET.
00:05:30.06\00:05:33.19
THAT'S THE NEXT QUESTION: AFTER
ADAM AND EVE SINNED, - WHEN THEY
00:05:33.23\00:05:36.43
WERE EVICTED FROM THE GARDEN OF
EDEN, THEY COULD NO LONGER EAT
00:05:36.46\00:05:38.63
FROM THE TREE OF LIFE.
GOD THEN SAID, 'ALRIGHT, I
00:05:38.67\00:05:41.27
WANT TO GIVE YOU
SOMETHING SUPPLEMENTAL.'
00:05:41.30\00:05:43.34
WHAT WAS ADDED TO
THEIR DIET AT THAT POINT?
00:05:43.37\00:05:46.94
GENESIS 3, VERSE 18 HE SAID,
"YOU SHALL EAT THE HERB OF THE
00:05:46.98\00:05:51.51
FIELD." - MEANING VEGETABLES.
NOW, I FIND SOMETIMES PEOPLE
00:05:51.55\00:05:56.35
DON'T KNOW THE DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN A FRUIT AND A VEGETABLE.
00:05:56.38\00:05:59.62
LET ME TEST YOU. APPLE. >>FRUIT.
00:05:59.65\00:06:04.56
>>FRUIT. ORANGE? >>FRUIT.
00:06:04.59\00:06:06.43
>>ZUCCHINI? >>FRUIT. (LAUGHTER)
00:06:06.46\00:06:10.93
>>SEE? FRUIT.
ONION? >>VEGETABLE.
00:06:10.97\00:06:17.74
>>VEGETABLE.
BRUSSELS SPROUTS? >>VEGETABLE.
00:06:17.77\00:06:22.18
>>INEDIBLE. (LAUGHTER)
00:06:22.21\00:06:26.51
>>IT'S REAL SIMPLE:
THAT ANYTHING THAT IS THE
00:06:26.55\00:06:29.05
PRODUCT OF THE
BLOSSOM IS THE FRUIT.
00:06:29.08\00:06:31.99
AND ANYTHING THAT'S ANY OTHER
PART OF THE PLANT, WHETHER IT'S
00:06:32.02\00:06:34.32
THE STALK OR THE LEAVES OR
THE BULBS, IT'S A VEGETABLE.
00:06:34.36\00:06:38.33
AND SO, AFTER ADAM AND EVE
AND, YOU KNOW, A LOT OF KIDS OUT
00:06:38.36\00:06:43.83
THERE ARE REALLY SORRY THAT
ADAM AND EVE SINNED BECAUSE THEY
00:06:43.87\00:06:46.17
DIDN'T WANT
VEGETABLES ADDED TO THEIR DIET.
00:06:46.20\00:06:48.90
BUT AFTER THEY SINNED AND THEY
WERE TOLD THEY COULD NO LONGER
00:06:48.94\00:06:51.11
STAY IN THE GARDEN, GOD SAID,
'YOU CAN ALSO EAT THE HERB OF
00:06:51.14\00:06:53.51
THE FIELD.' BUT THE ORIGINAL
DIET FOR MAN WAS A VEGETARIAN
00:06:53.54\00:06:56.34
DIET. AND - I'LL JUST TELL YOU
00:06:56.38\00:07:00.15
RIGHT NOW, I AM
BIASED. I'M A VEGETARIAN.
00:07:00.18\00:07:04.29
I ENCOURAGE
PEOPLE TO CONSIDER IT.
00:07:04.32\00:07:06.12
THE BIBLE DOES NOT
REQUIRE YOU TO BE A VEGETARIAN.
00:07:06.15\00:07:09.29
BUT ARE YOU AWARE THAT WE
WILL BE VEGETARIANS IN HEAVEN?
00:07:09.32\00:07:12.73
>>AMEN. >>YES >>AMEN.
00:07:12.76\00:07:14.10
>>WHEN GOD ASKED ADAM TO NAME
THE ANIMALS, HE DID NOT LOOK AT
00:07:14.13\00:07:17.30
THE COW AND SAY, 'WHOPPER'.
(LAUGHTER) AND HE DID NOT
00:07:17.33\00:07:20.70
LOOK AT THE CHICKENS
AND SAY, 'MCNUGGETS'.
00:07:20.74\00:07:22.77
(LAUGHTER) YOU KNOW, HE WAS
SUPPOSED TO PROTECT THEM, HE
00:07:22.80\00:07:27.01
WASN'T SUPPOSED TO
THINK ABOUT EATING THEM.
00:07:27.04\00:07:29.11
AND IT WASN'T UNTIL AFTER SIN
AND ESPECIALLY AFTER THE FLOOD
00:07:29.14\00:07:32.61
THAT ANIMALS
BECAME A PART OF THE DIET.
00:07:32.65\00:07:34.65
WHAT MAMMALS DOES
GOD SAY WE COULD EAT?
00:07:34.68\00:07:37.22
NOW, I TOLD YOU I'M A
VEGETARIAN. I ENCOURAGE THAT.
00:07:37.25\00:07:41.02
BUT THE BIBLE DOES SAY YOU'RE
GOING TO EAT MEAT, BUT THEN IT
00:07:41.06\00:07:43.09
SAYS IF YOU'RE GOING TO EAT
MEAT THERE ARE SOME CRITERIA.
00:07:43.12\00:07:46.73
YOU CAN READ ABOUT THIS IN
LEVITICUS 11, VERSE 3, "WHATEVER
00:07:46.76\00:07:50.80
PARTS THE HOOF, AND IS CLOVEN
FOOTED AND CHEWS THE CUD, THESE
00:07:50.83\00:07:56.04
YOU CAN EAT." SO
IT NEEDED TO HAVE A
00:07:56.07\00:07:58.61
CLOVEN HOOF - IT NEEDED BOTH
CHARACTERISTICS, NOT JUST ONE.
00:07:58.64\00:08:04.65
BUT EVEN SOME
MEAT IS NOT HEALTHY.
00:08:04.68\00:08:07.35
FOR INSTANCE, YOU KNOW A CAMEL?
00:08:07.38\00:08:08.95
A CAMEL CHEWS THE
CUD BUT IT'S GOT A PAW.
00:08:08.98\00:08:12.45
NOW SOME OF YOU ARE REALLY
BOTHERED BY THAT BECAUSE YOU'RE
00:08:12.49\00:08:14.36
GOING TO HAVE TO TAKE THE CAMEL
OUT OF YOUR FRIDGE TONIGHT RIGHT
00:08:14.39\00:08:17.33
AFTER (LAUGHTER) WELL, YOU KNOW,
THIS WAS A PROBLEM IN CHRIST'S
00:08:17.36\00:08:20.16
TIME. HE SAID,
'YOU STRAIN A GNAT AND
00:08:20.20\00:08:21.56
YOU SWALLOW A
CAMEL' - WHICH IS UNCLEAN.
00:08:21.60\00:08:24.03
HE SAID, 'YOU'RE WORRIED ABOUT
GETTING A LITTLE BITTY BUG IN
00:08:24.07\00:08:25.67
YOUR WATER, BUT THEN YOU GO EAT
CAMEL STEAK WHEN YOU GO HOME AND
00:08:25.70\00:08:28.14
GOD SAYS IT'S UNCLEAN. HAVE YOU
EVER BEEN AROUND CAMELS? I HAVE.
00:08:28.17\00:08:34.51
YEAH. I
WOULDN'T WANT TO EAT ONE.
00:08:34.54\00:08:36.41
NOW, SOME THINGS, THEY CHEW THE
CUD BUT THEY DON'T HAVE A CLOVEN
00:08:36.44\00:08:41.48
HOOF. AND THEN
THERE'S A COUPLE OF
00:08:41.52\00:08:42.85
ANIMALS THAT HAVE A CLOVEN HOOF,
BUT THEY DON'T CHEW THE CUD.
00:08:42.88\00:08:46.12
YOU KNOW WHAT'S
IN THAT CATEGORY?
00:08:46.15\00:08:47.92
AH, THIS ONE'S VERY POPULAR.
PUERCO - THE PIG, THE HOG, THE
00:08:47.96\00:08:55.63
SWINE - "THOUGH IT DIVIDES
THE HOOF, HAVING CLOVEN HOOVES,
00:08:55.66\00:09:00.24
YET DOES NOT CHEW THE
CUD, IS UNCLEAN TO YOU."
00:09:00.27\00:09:03.91
HE GOES ON TO SAY, "THEIR FLESH
YOU SHALL NOT EAT, AND THEIR
00:09:03.94\00:09:07.21
CARCASS YOU SHALL NOT TOUCH."
THERE WAS AN ABOMINATION.
00:09:07.24\00:09:11.95
PIGS ARE FILTHY. I
USED TO TAKE CARE OF MY
00:09:11.98\00:09:14.82
NEIGHBOR'S PIGS WHEN HE WOULD GO
ON VACATION AND, YOU KNOW, I'D
00:09:14.85\00:09:17.72
ALWAYS TRY AND FIND SOME NEW
WORD TO DESCRIBE IT, BUT ALL I
00:09:17.75\00:09:19.99
CAN COME UP WITH IS TO
TELL YOU THAT PIGS ARE PIGS.
00:09:20.02\00:09:23.19
THEIR NAME IS THE DEFINITION.
YOU CAN'T IMPROVE ON IT.
00:09:23.22\00:09:26.03
(LAUGHTER) YOU EVER BEEN BY - OR
DRIVEN BY A PIG SLAUGHTER HOUSE?
00:09:26.06\00:09:31.47
EVEN THE BIBLE SAYS - LIKE THE
SOW THAT WAS WASHED RETURNS TO
00:09:31.50\00:09:35.97
WALLOWING IN THE
MIRE. AND THEIR FLESH IS
00:09:36.00\00:09:40.81
FULL OF DISEASE.
THEY'RE SCAVENGERS.
00:09:40.84\00:09:45.88
GOD MADE SOME ANIMALS THAT ARE
SCAVENGERS AND THEY'RE MADE TO,
00:09:45.91\00:09:49.15
KIND OF, CLEAN
UP THE ENVIRONMENT.
00:09:49.18\00:09:50.65
THEY EAT GARBAGE. WHY
WOULD YOU - YOU WOULDN'T
00:09:50.69\00:09:54.22
EAT GARBAGE BUT YOU'LL
EAT THE GARBAGE CAN (LAUGHTER)
00:09:54.26\00:09:57.16
WHEN YOU EAT A PIG. HOW
MANY OF YOU REMEMBER THIS?
00:09:57.19\00:10:00.86
'THIS LITTLE PIGGY WENT TO THE
MARKET' (LAUGHTER) 'THIS LITTLE
00:10:00.90\00:10:04.07
PIGGY STAYED HOME.
THIS LITTLE PIGGY HAD ROAST
00:10:04.10\00:10:08.37
BEEF' - EVEN A
PIG WON'T EAT PORK.
00:10:08.40\00:10:10.07
(RAUCOUS LAUGHTER) YOU KNOW
I - I REMEMBER READING ONCE - I
00:10:10.11\00:10:17.55
THINK IT WAS ONE OUT OF FIVE
AUTOPSIES DONE IN NORTH AMERICA
00:10:17.58\00:10:20.82
- THEY FOUND OUT THAT
THE CADAVERS HAD SYMPTOMS OR
00:10:20.85\00:10:24.55
EVIDENCE OF TRICHINA POISONING.
TRICHINOSIS IS A VERY TRICKY
00:10:24.59\00:10:33.13
DISEASE IN THAT WHEN THE MUSCLE
TISSUE CONTAINING TRICHINA CYSTS
00:10:33.16\00:10:37.07
ARE EATEN BY A HUMAN, IT SAYS
THE CYSTS ARE THEN DIGESTED IN
00:10:37.10\00:10:40.67
THE STOMACH THEN RELEASE THE
LARVAE WHICH "...MIGRATE TO THE
00:10:40.70\00:10:44.07
INTESTINE, BEGIN
A NEW LIFE CYCLE.
00:10:44.11\00:10:46.31
FEMALE TRICHINA WORMS LIVE ABOUT
SIX WEEKS AND IN THAT TIME THEY
00:10:46.34\00:10:49.71
MAY RELEASE 15,000 LARVAE.
THE MIGRATION AND ENCYSTMENT OF
00:10:49.74\00:10:53.88
LARVAE CAN CAUSE
FEVER, PAIN, OR EVEN DEATH."
00:10:53.92\00:10:56.38
IT CAN CAUSE STIFFNESS IN JOINTS
AND KNEES AND PAIN AND IT'S
00:10:56.42\00:10:59.62
OFTEN MISDIAGNOSED. A
PERSON THINKS, 'I'VE GOT
00:10:59.65\00:11:02.72
BURSITIS' OR 'ARTHRITIS' AND
THEY GOT PIGITIS IS WHAT IT IS
00:11:02.76\00:11:06.76
(LAUGHTER) IT'S FROM - IT'S
VERY COMMON AROUND THE WORLD.
00:11:06.80\00:11:12.03
THERE'S A PICTURE OF A FELLOW.
HE'S GOT HIS LUNCH ON HIS
00:11:12.07\00:11:13.87
BOX - BACK OF HIS BIKE.
ONE NUTRITIONIST WROTE A FEW
00:11:13.90\00:11:20.14
YEARS AGO - AND THIS IS
AN OLD ARTICLE, BUT I LIKE
00:11:20.18\00:11:21.81
THE WAY HE WORDED
IT. SEPTEMBER 6, 1999.
00:11:21.84\00:11:25.25
A "NUTRITIONIST SAID BACON
WASN'T TECHNICALLY MEAT ANYMORE.
00:11:25.28\00:11:28.68
IT DIDN'T BELONG TO
ANY FOOD GROUP AT ALL.
00:11:28.72\00:11:31.09
IT WAS A SALTY NITRATE-RIDDEN,
FAT-LADEN CARCINOGENIC THING."
00:11:31.12\00:11:36.36
WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO
EAT A CARCINOGENIC THING?
00:11:36.39\00:11:42.33
BECAUSE IT TASTES GOOD.
ARE YOU GOING TO BE CONTROLLED
00:11:42.36\00:11:45.27
BY THE SPIRIT OR BY THE FLESH?
NOW SOME OF YOU ARE SAYING,
00:11:45.30\00:11:49.94
'PASTOR DOUG, YOU'RE COMING DOWN
PRETTY HARD ON THOSE OF US WHO
00:11:49.97\00:11:52.24
ARE, YOU KNOW, EATING
MEAT AND STUFF LIKE THAT.
00:11:52.27\00:11:55.04
YOU KNOW, GOD DESIGNED HUMANS
TO EAT MEAT AND THAT'S WHY WE'VE
00:11:55.08\00:11:58.75
GOT THESE CANINE
TEETH, YOU KNOW?'
00:11:58.78\00:12:01.75
I'VE HEARD THAT ARGUMENT
BEFORE. THAT'S NONSENSE.
00:12:01.78\00:12:05.69
THIS FELLA'S GOT
CANINE TEETH TOO.
00:12:05.72\00:12:07.26
(RAUCOUS LAUGHTER)
AND HE'S A VEGETARIAN.
00:12:07.29\00:12:13.80
AS IS THE HIPPO AND THE ELEPHANT
- I DON'T KNOW HOW FAR I WANT TO
00:12:13.83\00:12:16.03
TAKE THIS ILLUSTRATION BUT
- AND, ACTUALLY, THE DIGESTIVE
00:12:16.06\00:12:21.74
SYSTEM OF A CAT OR A CARNIVORE
OR A DOG IS VERY SMOOTH.
00:12:21.77\00:12:27.31
VEGETARIAN ANIMALS HAVE A
MORE COMPLEX DIGESTIVE SYSTEM.
00:12:27.34\00:12:31.45
WHERE THEY'VE GOT THE BROKEN
UP INTESTINE AND WE'RE IN THAT
00:12:31.48\00:12:39.25
CATEGORY. WE THRIVE
ON A VEGETARIAN DIET.
00:12:39.29\00:12:43.29
PEOPLE SAY TO ME ALL THE TIME,
'OH PASTOR DOUG, YOU KNOW, YOU
00:12:43.32\00:12:45.79
CAN'T BE HEALTHY
IF YOU'RE VEGETARIAN.
00:12:45.83\00:12:48.56
YOU'RE NOT GOING TO GET
ENOUGH B-12 AND PROTEIN.'
00:12:48.60\00:12:51.50
THAT IS A MYTH. THAT IS
TOTALLY AN UNEDUCATED STATEMENT.
00:12:51.53\00:12:54.84
I'VE BEEN A
VEGETARIAN FOR FORTY YEARS.
00:12:54.87\00:12:57.71
I LOVE WHEN I GO TO SUBWAY AND I
ORDER A VEGGIE AND THEY SAY, 'DO
00:12:57.74\00:13:00.34
YOU WANT ANY
CHEESE?' I SAID, 'NO.
00:13:00.38\00:13:01.71
I'M A VEGAN TOO.' I
SAID, 'NO, JUST ALL VEGGIES.'
00:13:01.74\00:13:04.78
I SAY, 'I'M A
VEGETARIAN.' 'REALLY?'
00:13:04.81\00:13:06.85
I SAID, 'YEP.' I SAID,
'DO I LOOK 90 YEARS OLD?'
00:13:06.88\00:13:10.05
(LAUGHTER) AND THEY GO, 'WOW,
YOU'RE NOT' - (RAUCOUS LAUGHTER)
00:13:10.09\00:13:18.13
I USUALLY CONFESS THAT
I'M KIDDING AT THAT POINT.
00:13:18.16\00:13:20.06
YOU NOTICE I DIDN'T SAY I
WAS 90, I SAID, 'DO I LOOK 90?'
00:13:20.10\00:13:23.33
(LAUGHTER) OF COURSE,
ONCE I SAID, 'DO I LOOK 70?'
00:13:23.37\00:13:25.87
AND THEY SAID, 'YEAH, ABOUT 70.'
(LAUGHTER) SO I HAD TO UP IT A
00:13:25.90\00:13:29.30
LITTLE BIT. BUT, NO,
YOU KNOW, I REALLY HAVE
00:13:29.34\00:13:34.61
BEEN A VEGETARIAN 40
YEARS AND I FEEL GREAT.
00:13:34.64\00:13:37.41
YOU GET - YOU KNOW, IF YOU - A
PEANUT BUTTER AND JELLY SANDWICH
00:13:37.45\00:13:40.38
HAS EVERYTHING YOU NEED. IF
YOU USE STRAWBERRY PRESERVES
00:13:40.42\00:13:43.05
YOU'VE GOT YOUR FRUITS,
GRAINS, AND NUTS RIGHT THERE.
00:13:43.08\00:13:45.19
THE WHOLE THING.
(LAUGHTER) YOU'VE GOT PROTEIN,
00:13:45.22\00:13:47.39
YOU'VE GOT B-12 -
YOU'VE GOT EVERYTHING YOU NEED.
00:13:47.42\00:13:49.32
AND SOMEBODY SAYS, 'YOU WON'T
GET ENOUGH,' DON'T BELIEVE THAT
00:13:49.36\00:13:52.76
FOR A MINUTE. LOOK WHAT
HAPPENED HERE IN THE BIBLE.
00:13:52.79\00:13:56.16
IT'S KIND OF A PRIMITIVE CHART
BUT YOU SEE HERE, THESE ARE THE
00:13:56.20\00:13:59.47
PEOPLE WHO LIVED IN
THE DAYS BEFORE THE FLOOD.
00:13:59.50\00:14:02.30
YOU'VE GOT SETH, METHUSELAH,
NOAH - THEY'RE LIVES WERE
00:14:02.34\00:14:05.71
MEASURED IN HUNDREDS OF YEARS.
00:14:05.74\00:14:07.81
AFTER THE FLOOD, ALL OF
THE VEGETATION WAS DESTROYED.
00:14:07.84\00:14:10.81
YOU REMEMBER, GOD TOOK THE CLEAN
ANIMALS ON THE ARK BY SEVENS AND
00:14:10.85\00:14:15.75
THEY, OSTENSIBLY,
WOULD SACRIFICE THEM.
00:14:15.78\00:14:19.22
THEY WERE ALLOWED TO EAT OF
THE SACRIFICE, BUT MEAT EATING
00:14:19.25\00:14:21.66
BECAME A LOT MORE
PREDOMINANT AFTER THE FLOOD.
00:14:21.69\00:14:25.13
AND LOOK WHAT
HAPPENED TO THE LIFE SPAN.
00:14:25.16\00:14:28.43
ONE OF THE PLACES IN THE WORLD
WHERE PEOPLE LIVE THE LONGEST IS
00:14:28.46\00:14:31.47
THE HUNZA PEOPLE IN THE
HUNZA VALLEY IN INDIA - LARGELY
00:14:31.50\00:14:34.54
VEGETARIAN - VERY COMMON FOR
THEM TO LIVE OVER 100 YEARS OF
00:14:34.57\00:14:37.91
AGE. THEY DON'T
HAVE A FRACTION OF
00:14:37.94\00:14:40.11
THE MODERN
DISEASES THAT WE EXPERIENCE.

00:15:12.91\00:15:15.48
>>NOW, IF YOU'RE GOING TO
TALK ABOUT - WE TALKED ABOUT THE
00:15:17.61\00:15:19.78
MAMMALS THAT HAD TO HAVE A
CLOVEN HOOF AND CHEW THE CUD -
00:15:19.81\00:15:22.92
WHAT ABOUT THE SEA CREATURES?
WHAT TYPES OF FISH OR SEAFOOD
00:15:22.95\00:15:26.89
ARE CLEAN, BIBLICALLY? YOU
READ IN LEVITICUS 11, VERSE
00:15:26.92\00:15:29.89
9, "THESE YOU CAN EAT OF ALL
THAT ARE IN THE WATERS: WHATEVER
00:15:29.92\00:15:33.46
HAS FINS AND
SCALES...THEM YOU SHALL EAT."
00:15:33.50\00:15:37.57
YOU KNOW, I UNDERSTAND THAT
THE NAVY DID SOME RESEARCH BACK
00:15:37.60\00:15:43.04
AFTER WORLD WAR II BECAUSE
A NUMBER OF PILOTS AND SAILORS
00:15:43.07\00:15:47.21
WERE FLOATING AROUND IN THE
OCEAN - THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHAT
00:15:47.24\00:15:50.71
THEY COULD AND COULDN'T EAT OF
THE FISH THAT KIND OF GATHERED
00:15:50.75\00:15:53.15
AROUND THEIR LIFE RAFTS AND THEY
SAID, 'WE NEED TO GIVE THEM SOME
00:15:53.18\00:15:55.45
CRITERIA THAT THEY CAN REMEMBER
- SOMETHING SIMPLE.' AND THEY
00:15:55.48\00:15:58.95
DID ALL THIS RESEARCH AND ONE OF
THEM SAID, 'YOU KNOW, IT SAYS IN
00:15:58.99\00:16:03.12
THE BIBLE THAT IF IT HAS FINS
AND SCALES IT'S SAFE.' AND THEY
00:16:03.16\00:16:06.96
SAID, 'WELL, LET'S SEE WHAT THAT
LOOKS LIKE.' AND DID ALL THE
00:16:07.00\00:16:08.56
RESEARCH. THEY
SAID, 'THAT'S PROBABLY THE
00:16:08.60\00:16:10.10
BEST RULE OF THUMB WE CAN TELL
THE SAILORS.' THEY FOUND A LOT
00:16:10.13\00:16:14.27
OF TOXINS IN THE SCAVENGERS.
CATFISH DO NOT HAVE SCALES.
00:16:14.30\00:16:21.18
MY BROTHER AND I USED TO CATCH
CATFISH OFF MY DAD'S BACK PORCH.
00:16:21.21\00:16:24.51
HE WAS RIGHT ON
BISCAYNE BAY IN MIAMI BEACH.
00:16:24.55\00:16:26.58
AND, TAKING THE HOOK OUT OF THE
CATFISH, MY BROTHER'S FINGER GOT
00:16:26.61\00:16:31.69
POKED BY THE DORSAL FIN AND IT
WAS SO TOXIC HE COULD NEVER BEND
00:16:31.72\00:16:35.22
HIS FINGER AGAIN. AND
PEOPLE EAT THOSE THINGS.
00:16:35.26\00:16:39.19
WE ATE 'EM TOO BACK
THEN. SHARKS, THEY'VE GOT
00:16:39.23\00:16:42.13
CARTILAGE ON THE
OUTSIDE. THEY'RE SCAVENGERS.
00:16:42.16\00:16:45.97
AND SOME OF YOU ARE
WONDERING, WHAT ABOUT TUNA.
00:16:46.00\00:16:49.10
TUNA HAS SCALES - VERY
SMALL, BUT THEY'VE GOT SCALES.
00:16:49.14\00:16:52.24
AND SO, THEY
NEEDED THESE THINGS.
00:16:52.27\00:16:53.54
SO WHAT WOULD BE UNCLEAN?
"BUT IN THE SEAS" - LEVITICUS
00:16:53.58\00:16:57.25
11:10 STILL - "IN ALL THE SEAS
OF THE RIVERS THOSE THAT DO NOT
00:16:57.28\00:17:01.35
HAVE FINS AND SCALES, ALL THAT
MOVE IN THE WATER OR ANY LIVING
00:17:01.38\00:17:04.65
THING WHICH IS IN THE WATER,
THEY ARE AN ABOMINATION TO YOU."
00:17:04.69\00:17:08.52
NOW THERE'S NO TIME IN THE BIBLE
WHEN GOD CALLS SOMETHING AN
00:17:08.56\00:17:11.13
ABOMINATION IN ONE PART THAT IT
IS THEN BLESSED IN ANOTHER PART.
00:17:11.16\00:17:14.73
ANYTHING THAT'S DECLARED
BY GOD AN ABOMINATION STAYS AN
00:17:14.76\00:17:17.30
ABOMINATION. AND, BY
THE WAY, THESE ARE NOT
00:17:17.33\00:17:22.00
LAWS JUST FOR ONE GROUP OF
PEOPLE, THESE ARE LAWS THAT
00:17:22.04\00:17:24.81
GOD GAVE TO HUMANITY IN THE
BEGINNING. WHAT ABOUT THE BIRDS?
00:17:24.84\00:17:28.81
IF YOU'RE GOING TO EAT
MEAT, WHAT BIRDS ARE CLEAN?
00:17:28.84\00:17:31.78
WELL, THE WAY THEY RAISE
SOME BIRDS, I DON'T WANT TO EAT
00:17:31.81\00:17:35.68
ANYTHING BUT, BIBLICALLY, IT
NEEDED TO BE A FORAGING BIRD.
00:17:35.72\00:17:40.16
THE ONES THAT ARE UNCLEAN -
IT SAYS, "EVERY RAVEN AFTER ITS
00:17:40.19\00:17:42.52
KIND," - AND THE "OWL,
AND THE NIGHT HAWK, AND
00:17:42.56\00:17:46.09
THE CUCKAW, AND THE
HAWK AFTER ITS KIND."
00:17:46.13\00:17:48.80
- THE SCAVENGERS - THE RAPTORS
- THEY WERE UNCLEAN - THE
00:17:48.83\00:17:54.10
OMNIVORES. THE
FORAGING BIRDS LIKE THE
00:17:54.14\00:17:57.97
PHEASANT AND THE QUAIL AND THE
CHICKEN AND THE TURKEY, YOU'LL
00:17:58.01\00:18:02.18
BE HAPPY TO KNOW, ARE IN
THE CLEAN CATEGORY. (LAUGHTER)
00:18:02.21\00:18:06.28
PIGEON IS CLEAN, WHICH MEANS
THEY'LL NEVER STARVE IN NEW YORK
00:18:06.31\00:18:10.99
CITY. (LAUGHTER) I WOULDN'T
EAT ANY OF THOSE, THOUGH.
00:18:11.02\00:18:16.56
BUT THEY WERE
TYPICALLY IN THAT CATEGORY.
00:18:16.59\00:18:19.43
SO, ARE THE LAWS ABOUT THE CLEAN
AND UNCLEAN ANIMALS PART OF
00:18:19.46\00:18:22.43
MOSES' CEREMONIAL LAW
THAT ENDED AT THE CROSS?
00:18:22.46\00:18:25.27
THIS IS THE ARGUMENT -
HAVE YOU HEARD THIS BEFORE?
00:18:25.30\00:18:27.50
NO, YOU READ IN GENESIS 7, WHEN
GOD WAS TELLING NOAH TO BRING
00:18:27.54\00:18:32.81
THE ANIMALS ON THE ARK, EVERYONE
SAYS, 'OH YEAH, THEY WENT ON THE
00:18:32.84\00:18:35.11
ARK TWO BY
TWO.' NOT ALL OF THEM.
00:18:35.14\00:18:37.85
THE UNCLEAN ANIMALS WENT BY TWO.
THE CLEAN ANIMALS WENT BY SEVEN.
00:18:37.88\00:18:42.75
"COME INTO THE ARK YOU AND ALL
YOUR HOUSEHOLD..." AND IT SAYS
00:18:42.78\00:18:45.75
OF THE BEASTS THAT ARE NOT
CLEAN THEY'LL BRING BY TWO.
00:18:45.79\00:18:49.52
OF THE CLEAN
BEASTS, THEY COME BY SEVENS.
00:18:49.56\00:18:53.26
LIKE YOU MIGHT HAVE
THE STAG AND SEVEN DOES.
00:18:53.29\00:18:56.10
YOU HAVE THE BULL AND - OR SIX
COWS AND THE BULL - AND SO THEY
00:18:56.13\00:18:59.27
MAY HAVE
DIVIDED IT UP LIKE THAT.
00:18:59.30\00:19:01.00
AND SO, HOW MANY
HERE ARE RELATED TO NOAH?
00:19:01.04\00:19:06.31
THAT'D BE ALL OF YOU.
(LAUGHTER) HOW MANY OF YOU NEVER
00:19:06.34\00:19:08.74
RAISE YOUR HAND WHEN
THE PASTOR ASKS A QUESTION?
00:19:08.78\00:19:10.68
(RAUCOUS LAUGHTER) SOME OF YOU
WERE HONEST ENOUGH TO FINALLY
00:19:10.71\00:19:13.98
RAISE YOUR HAND
FOR THAT QUESTION.
00:19:14.02\00:19:17.12
BUT WE'RE ALL RELATED TO NOAH.
SO GOD MAKES A DISTINCTION OF
00:19:17.15\00:19:20.69
CLEAN AND UNCLEAN RIGHT
BACK THERE IN THE BEGINNING.
00:19:20.72\00:19:24.16
THESE THINGS - WE KNOW TODAY
THAT THERE'S HEALTH PRINCIPLES.
00:19:24.19\00:19:28.16
BY THE WAY, NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC
DID AN ARTICLE A FEW YEARS AGO
00:19:28.20\00:19:33.44
CALLED THE BLUE
ZONES . DID ANY OF YOU HERE
00:19:33.47\00:19:35.27
EVER SEE THIS MAGAZINE?
IT TALKED ABOUT THE AREAS OF
00:19:35.30\00:19:37.67
THE WORLD WHERE
PEOPLE LIVE THE LONGEST.
00:19:37.71\00:19:40.18
THEY CAME UP WITH THREE GROUPS:
THE PEOPLE THAT LIVE IN SARDINIA
00:19:40.21\00:19:44.81
- THE MEDITERRANEAN, THE PEOPLE
THAT LIVE IN OKINAWA, JAPAN -
00:19:44.85\00:19:49.32
SOME OF THE OLDEST IN THE WORLD,
AND THE THIRD CATEGORY WAS
00:19:49.35\00:19:51.99
SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTISTS
THAT LIVE IN LOMA LINDA.
00:19:52.02\00:19:54.66
OR SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTISTS,
BUT THAT'S JUST AN ENCLAVE DOWN
00:19:54.69\00:19:58.49
THERE AND SO THEY SAW
THERE WAS A CONCENTRATION.
00:19:58.53\00:20:00.86
AND SO, THEY SPECIFICALLY
SAID SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTISTS.
00:20:00.90\00:20:04.07
WHAT DO THEY ATTRIBUTE THAT
TO? THEIR HEALTHY LIFESTYLE.
00:20:04.10\00:20:09.34
>>AMEN. >>FOLLOWING THE BIBLICAL
00:20:09.37\00:20:10.97
CRITERIA, AMONG OTHER THINGS,
HAVING A DAY OF REST HELPS ALSO.
00:20:11.01\00:20:15.54
AND THEY LIVE A LOT LONGER.
I WAS VISITING A SISTER TODAY,
00:20:15.58\00:20:21.45
93 YEARS OLD UP
AND AROUND DOING FINE.
00:20:21.48\00:20:25.12
THIS IS A PICTURE OF ONE OF
MY CHURCH MEMBERS, 111 AND STILL
00:20:25.15\00:20:29.12
GOING - VIOLA COOK. AND
IT JUST WAS AMAZING TO ME,
00:20:29.16\00:20:36.40
HER BROTHER-IN-LAW TOLD ME - ART
REED - GAVE ME SOME GOOD ADVICE
00:20:36.43\00:20:41.04
- IF YOU FORGET EVERYTHING I SAY
TONIGHT, REMEMBER THIS: I SAID,
00:20:41.07\00:20:43.41
'ART, HOW COME YOU'RE
SO OLD AND SO HEALTHY?'
00:20:43.44\00:20:45.84
HE SAID, 'THREE THINGS:
STOP EATING WHILE YOU'RE STILL A
00:20:45.87\00:20:49.18
LITTLE HUNGRY, WAKE UP WHEN
YOU'RE STILL A LITTLE SLEEPY,
00:20:49.21\00:20:53.98
AND STOP TALKING WHEN YOU STILL
HAVE SOMETHING LEFT TO SAY.'
00:20:54.02\00:20:56.58
(LAUGHTER) SECRET TO LIFE.
00:20:56.62\00:21:01.46
DOES GOD SAY THAT EATING UNCLEAN
FOOD IS A SERIOUS OFFENSE?
00:21:01.49\00:21:07.23
SOME PEOPLE THINK, 'OH,
THE BIBLE LAWS ABOUT HEALTH ARE
00:21:07.30\00:21:09.66
RECOMMENDATIONS.' THE
BIBLE DOESN'T CALL THEM
00:21:09.70\00:21:11.23
RECOMMENDATIONS,
IT CALLS THEM LAWS.
00:21:11.27\00:21:13.30
LISTEN TO WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS
IN ISAIAH 66, VERSES 15 AND 17:
00:21:13.34\00:21:17.14
"FOR BEHOLD, THE LORD WILL COME
WITH FIRE AND WITH HIS CHARIOTS,
00:21:17.17\00:21:20.64
LIKE A WHIRLWIND, TO
RENDER HIS ANGER WITH FURY.
00:21:20.68\00:21:24.58
THOSE WHO SANCTIFY THEMSELVES
AND PURIFY THEMSELVES..."
00:21:24.61\00:21:28.18
- THEY'RE DECLARING THEMSELVES
SANCTIFIED AND PURE - "'EATING
00:21:28.22\00:21:30.39
SWINE'S FLESH AND THE
ABOMINATION AND THE MOUSE, SHALL
00:21:30.42\00:21:35.99
BE CONSUMED
TOGETHER,' SAYS THE LORD."
00:21:36.02\00:21:39.03
'OH, PASTOR DOUG, ARE YOU
TELLING ME THAT MY BLT SANDWICH
00:21:39.06\00:21:42.10
IS NO MORE? IT
TASTES SO GOOD.' YOU KNOW,
00:21:42.13\00:21:47.57
WHEN YOU REALLY THINK
ABOUT IT, THERE ARE SO MANY
00:21:47.60\00:21:49.27
GOOD THINGS TO EAT. I'M
SURPRISED - PEOPLE SAY TO
00:21:49.30\00:21:52.21
ME, 'PASTOR DOUG,
YOU'RE A VEGETARIAN.
00:21:52.24\00:21:54.11
WHAT DO YOU EAT?'
(LAUGHTER) WELL, I EAT GREAT.
00:21:54.14\00:22:00.42
LOTS OF THINGS. YOU
GROW UP LEARNING A CERTAIN
00:22:00.45\00:22:03.52
WAY AND YOU THINK
THAT'S THE ONLY WAY.
00:22:03.55\00:22:05.39
YOU'VE GOT TO JUST LEARN TO
DO GOOD - LEARN A NEW WAY - AND
00:22:05.42\00:22:07.92
YOU'LL BE FINE. SOME
PEOPLE THINK, 'WELL, IF GOD
00:22:07.96\00:22:10.29
DOESN'T WANT US TO EAT
IT, WHY DID HE MAKE IT?'
00:22:10.33\00:22:13.43
AND IT'S ALMOST LIKE A BUMPER
STICKER THAT YOU WOULD FIND
00:22:13.46\00:22:15.80
SOMEWHERE ON BUBBA'S TRUCK: 'GOD
MADE IT SO WE CAN KILL IT AND
00:22:15.83\00:22:20.04
EAT IT.' HE
DIDN'T MAKE ANY OF THE
00:22:20.07\00:22:22.50
ANIMALS FOR US TO KILL AND EAT.
00:22:22.54\00:22:24.94
PEOPLE QUOTE THIS VERSE IN 1
TIMOTHY 4:4, "FOR EVERY CREATURE
00:22:24.97\00:22:28.61
OF GOD IS GOOD," -
HAVE YOU HEARD THIS BEFORE?
00:22:28.64\00:22:31.38
- "AND NOTHING TO BE REFUSED IF
IT IS RECEIVED WITH THANKSGIVING
00:22:31.41\00:22:35.05
AND PRAYER." NOW THEY
DON'T READ THE CONTEXT
00:22:35.08\00:22:38.49
- THEY DON'T READ WHAT
IT SAYS BEFORE OR AFTER.
00:22:38.52\00:22:40.02
IT SAYS, FIRST OF ALL, THAT
IT'LL BE SANCTIFIED BY THE WORD
00:22:40.06\00:22:41.72
OF GOD. THAT
MEANS THE CREATURES THAT
00:22:41.76\00:22:44.29
ARE APPROVED IN THE WORD OF
GOD CAN BE SANCTIFIED BY PRAYER.
00:22:44.33\00:22:48.63
BUT THIS NOTION THAT CHRISTIANS
BELIEVE - AND THIS IS WHERE -
00:22:48.66\00:22:52.10
BOY, I HOPE THIS SINKS IN WITH
THINKING CHRISTIANS OUT THERE -
00:22:52.13\00:22:55.74
THE IDEA THAT WE'RE FREE
NOW FROM THE LAWS ABOUT HEALTH
00:22:55.77\00:22:59.47
BECAUSE WE JUST PRAY AND
GOD BLESSES WHATEVER WE EAT.
00:22:59.51\00:23:03.24
YOU WOULD NOT ACCEPT
THAT FROM YOUR CHILDREN.
00:23:03.28\00:23:06.05
HOW MANY ARE PARENTS OUT THERE?
ARE THEY RAISING THEIR HANDS?
00:23:06.08\00:23:11.12
IF YOU WERE GETTING READY FOR
WORK ONE DAY AND YOUR KIDS WERE
00:23:11.15\00:23:14.12
FIXING THEIR OWN BREAKFAST, YOU
KNOW, THEY'RE A LITTLE OLDER,
00:23:14.16\00:23:16.16
AND YOU SEE THAT THEY'RE POURING
SUGAR FROSTED FLAKES IN THEIR
00:23:16.19\00:23:22.30
BOWL AND THEY'RE PUTTING SUGAR
ON TOP OF IT, THEN THEY GO IN
00:23:22.33\00:23:25.13
THE FREEZER AND GET A SCOOP OF
CHOCOLATE ICE CREAM, THEN THEY
00:23:25.17\00:23:27.70
GET SOME CARAMEL SYRUP, AND YOU
SAY, 'WHAT IN THE WORLD DO YOU
00:23:27.74\00:23:30.81
THINK YOU'RE DOING?'
'DON'T WORRY, MOM, DAD, I'M
00:23:30.84\00:23:34.28
GOING TO ASK JESUS TO BLESS IT.'
00:23:34.31\00:23:35.98
(LAUGHTER) WOULD
YOU SAY, 'WELL, THAT'S
00:23:36.01\00:23:39.81
OKAY, AS LONG AS
YOU PRAY OVER IT,
00:23:39.85\00:23:41.28
THAT'LL BE OKAY.' HOW
MANY WOULD ACCEPT THAT?
00:23:41.32\00:23:44.89
THEN WHY DO WE THINK THAT WE CAN
TEMPT THE LORD BY GOING AGAINST
00:23:44.92\00:23:49.29
THE BASIC PRINCIPLES OF HEALTH
IN THE BIBLE AND SAY, 'BUT I
00:23:49.32\00:23:51.79
PRAYED OVER IT.' WHEN THE BIBLE
TALKS ABOUT THAT, IT'S TALKING
00:23:51.83\00:23:56.16
ABOUT THERE WAS A BIG CONTEST
BETWEEN THE JEWISH CHRISTIANS
00:23:56.20\00:24:00.50
AND THE GENTILE CHRISTIANS
AND THE JEWISH CHRISTIANS SAID,
00:24:00.54\00:24:02.74
'OH, THAT MEAT HAD
BEEN OFFERED TO AN IDOL.
00:24:02.77\00:24:04.87
YOU CAN'T EAT IT.' AND
PAUL SAID, 'LOOK, THE IDOL'S
00:24:04.91\00:24:06.74
NOTHING.' YOU PRAY OVER IT - HE
WAS TALKING ABOUT CLEAN ANIMALS
00:24:06.78\00:24:09.78
THAT MAYBE THEY HAD BOUGHT IN
A GENTILE MARKETPLACE - GOAT OR
00:24:09.81\00:24:13.48
TURKEY OR SHEEP OR WHATEVER
IT WAS - AND THE JEWS HAD A VERY
00:24:13.52\00:24:18.09
SENSITIVE CONSCIENCE, THEY
SAID, 'BUT IT WAS A GENTILE
00:24:18.12\00:24:20.69
MARKETPLACE. THEY
BUTCHER THINGS AND THEY
00:24:20.72\00:24:22.42
OFFER THEM TO GODS BEFORE THEY
BUTCHER THEM.' PAUL SAID, 'LOOK,
00:24:22.46\00:24:26.36
IT'S SANCTIFIED
BY THE WORD OF GOD.
00:24:26.39\00:24:27.86
GOD'S WORD SAID YOU CAN EAT THAT
GOAT - THAT SHEEP - AND YOU'VE
00:24:27.86\00:24:30.67
PRAYED OVER IT.
DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT.'
00:24:30.70\00:24:32.30
HOW MANY OF YOU EAT CHINESE
FOOD IN A CHINESE RESTAURANT?
00:24:32.33\00:24:34.50
I DO. I DID THIS WEEK.
00:24:34.54\00:24:36.27
AND WHEN I WENT IN, THERE
WAS A BUDDHA IN THE RESTAURANT.
00:24:36.30\00:24:42.14
NOW, SOME CHRISTIANS
MIGHT HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THAT.
00:24:42.18\00:24:44.15
THEY MIGHT SAY, 'I CAN'T EAT
IN THERE, THERE WAS A BUDDHA.
00:24:44.18\00:24:46.11
I'LL BE SUPPORTING BUDDHA
IF I EAT IN THAT RESTAURANT.'
00:24:46.15\00:24:48.75
(LAUGHTER) PAUL WAS SAYING,
'LOOK, YOU PRAY OVER YOUR FOOD.
00:24:48.78\00:24:52.12
DON'T WORRY ABOUT WHAT THEY
THINK ABOUT - THE COOK MIGHT BE
00:24:52.15\00:24:54.52
A BUDDHIST - IT'S NOT GOING TO
HURT YOU.' THIS WAS THE ISSUE.
00:24:54.56\00:24:57.79
IT WASN'T SAYING
YOU COULD EAT ANYTHING.
00:24:57.83\00:25:00.90
THAT'S IRRESPONSIBLE. WE
ALL KNOW BETTER THAN THAT.
00:25:00.93\00:25:04.53
WHAT YOU EAT IS GOING
TO AFFECT YOUR HEALTH.
00:25:04.57\00:25:06.84
HOW MUCH YOU EAT IS
GOING TO AFFECT YOUR HEALTH.
00:25:06.87\00:25:10.47
SOME WILL SAY, 'WHAT ABOUT THE
VISION THAT PETER HAD IN ACTS
00:25:10.51\00:25:13.17
CHAPTER 10?' SOME OF
YOU REMEMBER, IT TELLS
00:25:13.21\00:25:16.95
US THAT CORNELIUS, A GENTILE,
AND HIS FAMILY FULL OF GENTILES,
00:25:16.98\00:25:21.42
AN ANGEL SAYS, 'YOU
MUST HEAR FROM PETER.'
00:25:21.45\00:25:25.12
THEY SEND MESSENGERS TO PETER.
NORMALLY JEWS DID NOT PREACH
00:25:25.15\00:25:27.86
TO THE GENTILES
IN THOSE EARLY DAYS.
00:25:27.89\00:25:30.19
PETER'S UP ON THE ROOF,
HE'S PRAYING, HE'S HUNGRY.
00:25:30.23\00:25:33.03
GOD GIVES HIM A VISION OF
A SHEET THAT COMES DOWN FROM
00:25:33.06\00:25:35.03
HEAVEN, FULL OF ALL THESE
UNCLEAN ANIMALS AND GOD SAYS,
00:25:35.06\00:25:37.77
'ARISE AND EAT.' NOTICE
WHAT PETER SAYS: 'NOT SO, LORD.
00:25:37.80\00:25:42.30
I HAVE NEVER EATEN ANYTHING
COMMON OR UNCLEAN.' AND THE
00:25:42.34\00:25:46.71
BIBLE SAYS, 'DO NOT CALL UNCLEAN
WHAT I HAVE CLEANSED.' AND HE'S
00:25:46.74\00:25:51.08
WONDERING - THIS HAPPENS THREE
TIMES - HE NEVER TAKES ANYTHING
00:25:51.11\00:25:53.21
OUT OF THE SHEET - IT'S A
VISION - YOU CAN'T EAT A VISION.
00:25:53.25\00:25:55.65
HE NEVER TAKES ANYTHING OUT
OF THE SHEET. HE NEVER EATS IT.
00:25:55.68\00:25:59.09
AND HE'S WONDERING
WHAT THE VISION MEANS.
00:25:59.12\00:26:01.89
AND SOME GENTILES KNOCK ON
THE DOOR DOWNSTAIRS AND PETER
00:26:01.92\00:26:04.86
EXPLAINS WHAT
THIS VISION IS ABOUT.
00:26:04.89\00:26:06.86
HE SAID, 'GOD HAS TOLD ME NOT TO
CALL ANY MAN' - THAT'S A FUNNY
00:26:06.90\00:26:11.80
WAY TO SPELL 'PIG' - IT DOESN'T
SAY GOD SHOWED ME NOT TO CALL
00:26:11.83\00:26:15.77
ANY SWINE UNCLEAN.' HE SAID NOT
TO CALL ANY MAN UNCLEAN BECAUSE
00:26:15.80\00:26:18.94
THE JEWS WERE
CALLING THE GENTILES UNCLEAN.
00:26:18.97\00:26:21.71
THIS VISION HAD
NOTHING TO DO WITH FOOD.
00:26:21.74\00:26:24.48
IT HAD TO DO WITH TAKING
THE GOSPEL TO THE GENTILES.
00:26:24.51\00:26:27.22
SO PASTORS THAT SAY
THAT, THEY'RE BEING DISHONEST.
00:26:27.25\00:26:30.59
THEY KNOW THAT'S NOT WHAT
WAS REALLY HAPPENING THERE.
00:26:30.62\00:26:33.25
DOES IT MAKE A
DIFFERENCE WHAT WE EAT?
00:26:33.29\00:26:35.79
DO YOU KNOW WHY WE'RE ALL
HAVING PROBLEMS WITH SIN AND
00:26:35.82\00:26:37.73
TEMPTATION? BECAUSE
OUR FIRST PARENTS ATE
00:26:37.76\00:26:41.03
SOMETHING THEY
WEREN'T SUPPOSED TO EAT.
