ANNOUNCER: THIS PRESENTATION
IS BROUGHT TO YOU BY THE
00:00:02.66\00:00:04.80
FRIENDS OF THE
AMAZING FACTS MINISTRY.
00:00:04.83\00:00:07.50
DOUG BATCHELOR: IN
1629 THE EMPEROR OF INDIA,
00:00:09.34\00:00:11.77
SHAH JAHAN, WENT ON A MILITARY
CAMPAIGN TO CRUSH A REBELLION
00:00:11.81\00:00:15.51
IN HIS KINGDOM.
00:00:15.54\00:00:17.15
EVEN THOUGH SHE
WAS ILL AND PREGNANT,
00:00:17.18\00:00:19.18
HIS WIFE JOINED HIM
ON THE GRUELING JOURNEY.
00:00:19.21\00:00:21.82
ON THE WAY SHE COLLAPSED,
GAVE BIRTH TO THEIR DAUGHTER,
00:00:21.85\00:00:24.75
AND THEN DIED.
00:00:24.79\00:00:26.22
THE BEAUTIFUL EMPRESS
WAS ONLY 39 YEARS OLD.
00:00:26.25\00:00:29.09
BESIDE HIMSELF WITH GRIEF, THE
EMPEROR CARRIED HIS WIFE'S BODY
00:00:29.12\00:00:32.63
HOME AND CONSTANTLY
WORE WHITE ROBES OF MOURNING.
00:00:32.66\00:00:35.83
WHEN HE FINALLY
CAME OUT OF SECLUSION,
00:00:35.86\00:00:37.87
HE ORDERED THAT A
BEAUTIFUL PALACE BE BUILT
00:00:37.90\00:00:40.14
FOR HIS BELOVED WIFE.
00:00:40.17\00:00:41.67
IT WAS NEVER TO
BE CALLED A TOMB;
00:00:41.70\00:00:43.57
IT WAS TO BE
CALLED BY THE INDIAN WORD,
00:00:43.61\00:00:45.71
MAHAL, MEANING PALACE.
00:00:45.74\00:00:48.34
THE PALACE THAT THE
EMPEROR BUILT IS ONE OF THE MOST
00:00:48.38\00:00:51.38
BREATHTAKING
STRUCTURES EVER BUILT.
00:00:51.41\00:00:53.62
A DAZZLING WONDER OF
MARBLE AND JEWELS KNOWN TODAY
00:00:53.65\00:00:57.75
AS THE TAJ MAHAL.
00:00:57.79\00:00:59.29
THIS MAJESTIC TOMB IS AN ABIDING
MEMORIAL OF THE EMPEROR'S
00:00:59.32\00:01:03.49
LOVE FOR HIS WIFE.
00:01:03.53\00:01:04.83
DID YOU KNOW THAT GOD HAS
ALSO GIVEN BELIEVERS AN ETERNAL
00:01:04.86\00:01:08.83
MEMORIAL OF HIS
CREATIVE POWER OF LOVE?
00:01:08.86\00:01:12.27
IT'S BUILT NOT IN
MARBLE BUT IN TIME,
00:01:12.30\00:01:15.67
AND IT CAN CHANGE YOUR LIFE.
00:01:15.70\00:01:17.57
SO, LET'S DIVE INTO TOGETHER NOW
AND EXPLORE THIS IMPORTANT AND
00:01:17.61\00:01:21.01
FASCINATING SUBJECT.
00:01:21.04\00:01:23.04
DOUG: WE'RE
GOING TO START WITH A
00:01:27.02\00:01:28.48
STORY THAT YOU FIND
IN THE BIBLE IN THE BOOK
00:01:28.52\00:01:32.55
OF DANIEL - DANIEL
CHAPTER 1 - AND IT'S CALLED
00:01:32.59\00:01:36.22
BABYLON'S BUFFET AND
THIS IS BASED UPON DANIEL 1,
00:01:36.26\00:01:41.26
VERSES 1 THROUGH 21
- IT'S A WHOLE CHAPTER.
00:01:41.30\00:01:43.53
NOW DANIEL IS A BOOK THAT
DEALS A LOT WITH PROPHECY, BUT
00:01:43.57\00:01:46.37
IT'S INTERESTING HOW THE BOOK
OF DANIEL BEGINS WITH A TEST.
00:01:46.40\00:01:51.34
ABOUT 500 YEARS BEFORE CHRIST,
KING NEBUCHADNEZZAR INVADED
00:01:51.37\00:01:54.68
JERUSALEM, AND ON HIS
FIRST ATTACK ON THE CITY
00:01:54.71\00:01:58.98
HE CARRIED AWAY
THOUSANDS OF PRISONERS FROM
00:01:59.01\00:02:02.32
JERUSALEM TO BABYLON
AND AMONG THOSE HE CARRIED
00:02:02.35\00:02:05.65
AWAY WERE SOME OF
THE PRINCES OF JERUSALEM.
00:02:05.69\00:02:09.72
SOME OF THEM, THE BIBLE
FORETOLD, WERE DESCENDANTS OF
00:02:09.76\00:02:12.69
KING HEZEKIAH. AND
THEY WERE TAKEN AND THEY
00:02:12.73\00:02:15.60
WERE EDUCATED IN
THE PALACE OF BABYLON.
00:02:15.63\00:02:19.07
AND THE KING SAID,
'LOOK, WE'RE GOING TO TEACH YOU
00:02:19.10\00:02:20.67
THE LANGUAGE OF THE
BABYLONIANS' - HE TOOK THE
00:02:20.70\00:02:22.24
BRIGHTEST AND THE BEST
LOOKING OF ALL THE ROYAL
00:02:22.27\00:02:25.54
CHILDREN BACK TO BABYLON
AND HE SAID, 'I'M GOING TO
00:02:25.57\00:02:29.08
TRAIN YOU IN ALL THE
SCIENCES OF BABYLON,' -
00:02:29.11\00:02:32.28
WHICH WAS THE MOST
SOPHISTICATED PLACE IN THE
00:02:32.31\00:02:34.02
WORLD AT THE TIME -
'AND AFTER THREE YEARS, THOSE
00:02:34.05\00:02:37.45
WHO PASSED THE TEST -
THE CREAM OF THE CROP - WILL
00:02:37.49\00:02:39.82
STAND BEFORE ME AND THEY
WILL BE REPRESENTATIVES TO
00:02:39.85\00:02:43.06
THESE OTHER NATIONS.'
NEBUCHADNEZZAR WAS REALLY
00:02:43.09\00:02:46.53
A VERY SMART LEADER AND
HE HAD GREAT COUNSELORS AND
00:02:46.56\00:02:48.80
THIS WAS A WISE PLAN. SO
AMONG SOME OF THE THOUSANDS
00:02:48.83\00:02:52.33
THAT WERE CARRIED FROM JERUSALEM
WERE FOUR HEBREW YOUNG MEN.
00:02:52.37\00:02:55.97
THEIR JEWISH NAMES WERE
DANIEL, HANANIAH, MISHAEL,
00:02:56.00\00:03:00.24
AND AZARIAH.
BABYLONIAN NAMES WERE
00:03:00.28\00:03:03.21
BELTESHAZAR,
SHADRACH, MESHACH, AND ABEDNEGO.
00:03:03.24\00:03:07.82
AND DANIEL, SHADRACH,
MESHACH, AND ABEDNEGO WENT
00:03:07.85\00:03:12.22
TO THIS SCHOOL, BUT
THEN THEY FOUND OUT THAT THEY
00:03:12.25\00:03:14.56
WERE GOING TO BE
REQUIRED TO EAT FROM THE ROYAL
00:03:14.59\00:03:16.42
CAFETERIA. NOW
MOST CAPTIVES WOULD
00:03:16.46\00:03:18.03
HAVE BEEN THRILLED.
ALL THE OTHER STUDENTS
00:03:18.06\00:03:20.16
FROM THE OTHER PARTS OF
THE WORLD NEBUCHADNEZZAR
00:03:20.20\00:03:21.86
CONQUERED - THEY
WERE THRILLED THAT THEY
00:03:21.90\00:03:23.26
GOT TO EAT AT THE
BABYLONIAN BUFFET.
00:03:23.30\00:03:26.27
IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE
THE BEST FOOD IN THE WORLD,
00:03:26.30\00:03:29.30
BUT RIGHT AWAY DANIEL
AND HIS FRIENDS REALIZED THEY
00:03:29.34\00:03:31.81
COULDN'T EAT THAT
BECAUSE THERE WAS FOOD IN THERE
00:03:31.84\00:03:33.61
THAT GOD HAD
DESIGNATED AS UNCLEAN.
00:03:33.64\00:03:36.91
AND IT SAYS IN DANIEL
1, VERSE 8, "BUT DANIEL
00:03:36.95\00:03:40.15
PURPOSED IN HIS HEART
THAT HE WOULD NOT DEFILE
00:03:40.18\00:03:43.32
HIMSELF WITH THE PORTION
OF THE KING'S DELICACIES,
00:03:43.35\00:03:47.06
NOR WITH THE WINE WHICH
HE DRANK;" - SO DANIEL WENT
00:03:47.09\00:03:50.46
TO THE CHIEF OF THE
EUNUCHS, WHICH WAS IN
00:03:50.49\00:03:52.23
CHARGE OF THE
PREPARATION AND THEIR TRAINING,
00:03:52.26\00:03:54.66
AND HE SAID, 'LET
US JUST EAT VEGETABLES.
00:03:54.73\00:03:57.80
GIVE US TEN DAYS.' AND
YOU'LL FIND THE KING JAMES
00:03:57.83\00:03:59.83
WORD THERE IS 'PULSE' -
SOME OF YOUR TRANSLATIONS
00:03:59.87\00:04:02.27
IT JUST SAYS VEGETABLES
- AND HE SAID, 'OH, I CAN'T
00:04:02.30\00:04:05.07
DO THAT.' - HE SAYS -
'THE KING'S GOING TO LOOK AT
00:04:05.11\00:04:06.71
YOU AND SAY, 'HOW COME
THESE YOUNG MEN ARE SICK?'
00:04:06.74\00:04:08.54
AND I'M GOING TO SAY,
'WELL, THEY'RE NOT EATING THE
00:04:08.58\00:04:10.08
FOOD THAT YOU PROVIDED.' 'WHAT?
00:04:10.11\00:04:11.65
MY FOOD WASN'T
GOOD ENOUGH FOR THEM?'
00:04:11.68\00:04:13.35
AND HE SAID, 'HE'LL TAKE
MY HEAD OFF.' DANIEL SAID,
00:04:13.38\00:04:15.45
'YOU TEST US. GIVE US TEN DAYS.
00:04:15.48\00:04:17.32
IF WE DON'T LOOK OKAY,
FINE.' SO, FOR TEN DAYS
00:04:17.35\00:04:22.12
THEY ATE NOTHING BUT VEGETABLES.
00:04:22.16\00:04:25.19
THEY ATE VEGETABLE STEW
AND A VEGETARIAN DIET - DRANK
00:04:25.23\00:04:28.73
WATER - AND THE BIBLE
SAYS - DANIEL 1, VERSE 15 -
00:04:28.76\00:04:33.10
"AND AT THE END OF TEN
DAYS THEIR COUNTENANCES
00:04:33.13\00:04:36.00
APPEARED FAIRER AND
FATTER IN FLESH THAN ALL THE
00:04:36.04\00:04:39.67
CHILDREN WHICH DID EAT
THE PORTION OF THE KING'S
00:04:39.71\00:04:41.81
MEAT." THEY WERE HEALTHIER THAN
00:04:41.84\00:04:44.48
THOSE WHO WERE EATING
FROM THE CAFETERIA OF BABYLON.
00:04:44.51\00:04:47.02
NOW WHY DOES THE
BIBLE INCLUDE THIS STORY?
00:04:47.05\00:04:51.42
THE BIBLE SAYS THAT
WHEN NEBUCHADNEZZAR HAD THEM
00:04:51.45\00:04:53.15
TESTED - PROBABLY BY
HIMSELF AS WELL AS HIS
00:04:53.19\00:04:56.26
OTHER WISE MEN IN THE
KINGDOM - THEY FOUND THAT
00:04:56.29\00:04:59.23
AMONG ALL THE
CAPTIVES THAT HAD BEEN TRAINED,
00:04:59.26\00:05:01.60
DANIEL, HANANIAH, MISHAEL,
AND AZARIAH WERE TEN TIMES
00:05:01.63\00:05:05.93
WISER - TEN TIMES WISER -
THAN ANY OF THE OTHERS WHO
00:05:05.97\00:05:10.94
HAD TRAINED.
BEING A CHRISTIAN IS NOT
00:05:10.97\00:05:14.01
JUST ABOUT A
CHANGE IN YOUR THINKING.
00:05:14.04\00:05:16.78
BEING A CHRISTIAN IS AN
ENTIRE TRANSFORMATION AND
00:05:16.81\00:05:21.15
'WHATEVER YOU EAT AND
WHATEVER YOU DRINK, DO ALL
00:05:21.18\00:05:23.52
TO THE GLORY OF GOD.'
IT DOES MAKE A DIFFERENCE
00:05:23.55\00:05:25.72
WHAT YOU DO WITH YOUR BODY.
00:05:25.75\00:05:27.19
YOUR BODY IS THE
TEMPLE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT.
00:05:27.22\00:05:30.33
AND A TRUTH THAT HAS
BEEN LOST IN RECENT YEARS TO
00:05:30.36\00:05:34.73
CHRISTIANITY - BOTH
PROTESTANTS AND CATHOLICS
00:05:34.76\00:05:38.27
AND EVANGELICALS - IS A
VERY CLEAR BIBLICAL TEACHING
00:05:38.30\00:05:41.74
THAT WE ARE TO
TAKE CARE OF OUR BODIES.
00:05:41.77\00:05:45.27
WE ARE TO BE CAREFUL.
WE ARE TO USE SELF-CONTROL
00:05:45.31\00:05:47.84
AND ESPECIALLY IS
THAT IMPORTANT WHEN WE'RE
00:05:47.88\00:05:50.18
LIVING IN A SOCIETY THAT
IS DROWNING IN ABUNDANCE.
00:05:50.21\00:05:53.72
#1 - WHAT WAS THE ORIGINAL
DIET THAT GOD DESIGNED FOR
00:05:53.75\00:05:56.82
HUMANS IN THE BEGINNING
- WE'RE GOING ALL THE WAY
00:05:56.85\00:05:58.85
BACK TO GENESIS NOW
- FIRST CHAPTER IN THE
00:05:58.89\00:06:01.59
BIBLE, GENESIS 1:29, AND
GOD SAID, 'BEHOLD, I HAVE
00:06:01.62\00:06:06.59
GIVEN YOU EVERY HERB
BEARING SEED,'" - AND
00:06:06.63\00:06:10.50
THAT'S TALKING
ABOUT EVERY PLANT.
00:06:10.53\00:06:12.47
AND IT GOES ON TO SAY,
"...AND EVERY TREE, IN THE
00:06:12.50\00:06:15.50
WHICH IS THE FRUIT OF A
TREE YIELDING SEED; TO YOU
00:06:15.54\00:06:21.08
IT SHALL BE FOR MEAT.'" -
AND THAT WORD 'MEAT' THERE
00:06:21.11\00:06:23.95
IS THE OLD ENGLISH
WORD. IT MEANS 'FOOD' - IT'S
00:06:23.98\00:06:26.05
LIKE THE MEAT OF A NUT -
IT JUST MEANS 'THE FOOD'.
00:06:26.08\00:06:28.18
SO THE ORIGINAL DIET
FOR ADAM AND EVE WAS WHAT?
00:06:28.22\00:06:31.89
FRUITS, GRAINS, NUTS -
IT WAS A 'FRUITARIAN' DIET.
00:06:31.92\00:06:36.99
THEY PROBABLY DIDN'T
EVEN COOK ANY FOOD BACK THERE.
00:06:37.03\00:06:39.33
HOW LONG DID GOD INTEND
FOR ADAM AND EVE TO LIVE
00:06:39.36\00:06:41.93
WHEN HE FIRST
MADE THEM? >>FOREVER.
00:06:41.96\00:06:43.63
>>FOREVER. AND
THEN, AFTER SIN, GOD
00:06:43.67\00:06:49.20
ADDED ONE MORE THING TO
THE DIET BECAUSE HE SAID,
00:06:49.24\00:06:51.34
'YOU CAN'T EAT FROM THE
TREE OF LIFE ANY LONGER.'
00:06:51.37\00:06:53.68
AFTER ADAM AND EVE
SINNED IT SAYS, 'WHAT
00:06:53.71\00:06:55.31
SUPPLEMENTAL FOOD DID
GOD THEN ADD TO THEIR DIET?'
00:06:55.34\00:06:58.55
GENESIS 3:18, IT
SAYS, "...THOU SHALT EAT THE
00:06:58.58\00:07:03.75
HERB OF THE FIELD."
THAT MEANS THE VEGETABLE.
00:07:03.79\00:07:07.36
BUT A VEGETABLE IS
TECHNICALLY - OH, LET ME
00:07:07.39\00:07:10.99
GIVE YOU A TEST AND FIND
OUT - FRUIT OR VEGETABLE -
00:07:11.03\00:07:15.00
BANANA? >>FRUIT.
00:07:15.03\00:07:16.63
>>FRUIT. APPLE? >>FRUIT.
00:07:16.67\00:07:18.70
>>ZUCCHINI? >>VEGETABLE.
00:07:18.73\00:07:21.20
>>FRUIT. EGGPLANT? >>VEGETABLE.
00:07:21.24\00:07:25.74
>>FRUIT. BRUSSELS SPROUTS?
00:07:25.77\00:07:29.21
>>VEGETABLE. >>INEDIBLE.
00:07:29.24\00:07:31.61
(LAUGHTER) BRUSSELS SPROUTS
ARE ACTUALLY A VEGETABLE.
00:07:31.65\00:07:36.89
CELERY? >>VEGETABLE.
00:07:36.92\00:07:38.82
>>IT'S A VEGETABLE. POTATO?
00:07:38.85\00:07:41.26
>>VEGETABLE. >>IT'S A VEGETABLE.
00:07:41.29\00:07:42.82
SO ANY PART OF THE
PLANT OTHER THAN THE SEED AND
00:07:42.86\00:07:45.09
THE PRODUCT OF THE FLOWER
- A FRUIT IS THE PRODUCT OF
00:07:45.13\00:07:47.13
THE FLOWER - IS GOING
TO BE A VEGETABLE - THE
00:07:47.13\00:07:50.00
STALK, THE LEAVES, THE
FLOWERS - THOSE ARE ALL
00:07:50.03\00:07:51.50
CONSIDERED TO BE VEGETABLES.
00:07:51.53\00:07:53.10
THE ROOT - YOU KNOW,
THEY'RE TUBERS - A POTATO.
00:07:53.13\00:07:57.51
SO HE ADDED THAT TO
THE DIET AND THERE WERE ALL
00:07:57.54\00:07:59.14
KINDS OF IMPORTANT
ENZYMES AND THINGS IN THERE.
00:07:59.17\00:08:02.14
SO THERE ARE BENEFITS -
THERE'S NO QUESTION THAT
00:08:02.18\00:08:04.65
THERE ARE BENEFITS TO
EATING A VEGETABLE-BASED DIET.
00:08:04.68\00:08:07.48
FOR AWHILE, PEOPLE
THOUGHT THAT SEVENTH-DAY
00:08:07.52\00:08:09.48
ADVENTISTS WERE KOOKS,
BUT I DON'T KNOW IF YOU READ
00:08:09.52\00:08:11.92
THE NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC
A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO.
00:08:11.95\00:08:14.42
IT SAID - THEY PICKED
OUT THE THREE LONGEST LIVING
00:08:14.46\00:08:17.23
PEOPLE IN THE
WORLD. DID YOU KNOW THAT?
00:08:17.26\00:08:20.00
YOU CAN GO LOOK THIS
UP. NUMBER 1, THERE WERE
00:08:20.03\00:08:22.03
PEOPLE IN SARDINIA
IN - OFF OF ITALY IN THE
00:08:22.06\00:08:25.43
MEDITERRANEAN, THE
PEOPLE OF OKINAWA, AND THE
00:08:25.47\00:08:29.27
SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTISTS,
PRINCIPALLY IN THE LOMA
00:08:29.30\00:08:31.54
LINDA AREA WHERE THEY
HAVE A UNIVERSITY AND THERE'S
00:08:31.57\00:08:33.27
A LARGE CONCENTRATION.
THEY STUDIED THEM.
00:08:33.31\00:08:35.14
THEY LIVED THE LONGEST OF
ANY PEOPLE GROUPS IN THE WORLD.
00:08:35.18\00:08:38.95
AND WHEN THEY ASKED WHY
DO THESE PEOPLE LIVE LONGER,
00:08:38.98\00:08:41.22
THEY SAID, 'WELL,
SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTISTS -
00:08:41.25\00:08:43.22
IT'S THE COMMUNITY, THE
REST FROM THE SABBATH, AND
00:08:43.25\00:08:45.49
THEY'RE LARGELY - NOT
ENTIRELY, BUT LARGELY - A
00:08:45.52\00:08:48.19
VEGETARIAN
LIFESTYLE - HEALTHY LIFESTYLE.
00:08:48.22\00:08:50.73
AND SO, WHAT WE'RE
SHARING WITH YOU IS NOT SOME
00:08:50.76\00:08:53.46
RELIGIOUS BELIEF, THIS
IS HARD, SCIENTIFIC FACT -
00:08:53.50\00:08:56.63
THAT IF YOU EAT - THE
CLOSER TO THE BIBLICAL
00:08:56.67\00:08:59.87
DIET THAT GOD PRESCRIBED,
THE LONGER YOU'RE GOING TO
00:08:59.90\00:09:04.24
LIVE, THE BETTER
YOU'RE GOING TO FEEL, THE LESS
00:09:04.27\00:09:05.81
DISEASE YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE.
00:09:05.84\00:09:08.24
IN THE MANUAL HE TELLS
YOU WHAT THE IDEAL DIET IS FOR
00:09:08.28\00:09:10.58
MAN, AND FOLLOWING THAT
DIET WILL CERTAINLY MAKE
00:09:10.61\00:09:13.95
YOU FEEL BETTER.
I'LL SHARE A LITTLE MORE
00:09:13.98\00:09:15.52
PERSONALLY WITH
YOU AS WE PROCEED.
00:09:15.55\00:09:18.09
WHAT DOES THE BIBLE
SAY, MORE SPECIFICALLY, ABOUT
00:09:18.12\00:09:20.16
EATING? ARE THERE SOME MAMMALS -
00:09:20.19\00:09:21.96
SOME FOODS THAT ARE CLEAN
AND SOME THAT ARE UNCLEAN?
00:09:21.99\00:09:24.36
YOU KNOW, DANIEL SAID
HE WOULDN'T DEFILE HIMSELF
00:09:24.39\00:09:27.20
WITH THE MEAT WHICH
THE KING'S SERVANTS WERE
00:09:27.23\00:09:28.96
EATING. WHAT MAMMALS DOES GOD
00:09:29.00\00:09:30.90
PERMIT HUMANS TO
EAT? THAT'S QUESTION #9.
00:09:30.93\00:09:33.64
YOU LOOK IN LEVITICUS
11, VERSE 3, IT TELLS US THAT
00:09:33.67\00:09:36.97
THERE'S TWO CRITERIA
THAT ARE SUPPOSED TO BE ON A
00:09:37.01\00:09:38.97
MAMMAL THAT IS
GOING TO BE EATEN.
00:09:39.01\00:09:40.54
IT SAYS, WHATEVER DOES WHAT?
00:09:40.58\00:09:42.48
PARTS THE HOOF, AND IS
CLOVEN FOOTED - AND CHEWS
00:09:42.51\00:09:47.48
THE CUD - THESE ARE
CLEAN. NOW, THAT WOULD MEAN THAT
00:09:47.52\00:09:51.75
GOAT, SHEEP, DEER,
ELK, MOOSE, THESE THINGS ARE
00:09:51.79\00:09:57.96
WHAT YOU WOULD
CALL 'CLEAN' ANIMALS.
00:09:57.99\00:10:00.40
BUT THEN HE GOES ON TO
SAY SOME THINGS THAT MAY CHEW
00:10:00.43\00:10:03.06
THE CUD - LIKE A CAMEL - BUT
IT DOESN'T HAVE A CLOVEN HOOF.
00:10:03.10\00:10:05.23
IT NEEDED BOTH
CRITERIA - THEY'RE UNCLEAN.
00:10:05.27\00:10:08.67
I KNOW SOME OF YOU ARE
PROBABLY THINKING, 'OH,
00:10:08.70\00:10:10.27
DOUG, YOU TELL ME I
HAVE TO GET RID OF MY CAMEL
00:10:10.31\00:10:11.91
STEAK TONIGHT AFTER THE
PROGRAM.' (LAUGHTER) YES.
00:10:11.94\00:10:14.71
THAT'S WHY JESUS
MADE FUN OF THE PHARISEES.
00:10:14.74\00:10:17.18
HE SAID, 'YOU'RE HYPOCRITES.
00:10:17.21\00:10:18.78
YOU STRAIN A GNAT' -
WHAT HE MEANT BY THAT WAS THEY
00:10:18.81\00:10:21.55
USED TO POUR THEIR
WATER THROUGH THESE STRAINING
00:10:21.58\00:10:23.69
CLOTHS - THEY SAID,
'LEST WE HAVE A GNAT IN THERE
00:10:23.72\00:10:26.49
AND IT'S UNCLEAN.' THEY
WOULD STRAIN THEIR WATER
00:10:26.52\00:10:29.12
TO PREVENT EATING A
GNAT, BUT WHEN NO ONE WAS
00:10:29.16\00:10:31.53
LOOKING THEY'D EAT A
CAMEL STEAK, WHICH WAS UNCLEAN,
00:10:31.56\00:10:33.26
BIBLICALLY. HE
SAYS, 'YOU STRAIN A
00:10:33.29\00:10:34.56
GNAT AND YOU SWALLOW A CAMEL.
00:10:34.60\00:10:36.00
YOU EVER HEARD
THAT EXPRESSION BEFORE?
00:10:36.03\00:10:37.33
THAT'S WHAT HE'S TALKING ABOUT.
00:10:37.37\00:10:38.97
HE'S SAYING 'YOU'RE HYPOCRITES.
00:10:39.00\00:10:40.44
YOU KNOW CAMEL IS UNCLEAN
BUT YOU'RE SO AFRAID OF A
00:10:40.47\00:10:42.20
LITTLE GNAT AND WHEN
NO ONE'S LOOKING YOU EAT
00:10:42.24\00:10:43.84
CAMEL STEAK.' IF
YOU'RE GOING TO EAT MEAT, IT
00:10:43.87\00:10:47.81
NEEDS TO HAVE
THOSE TWO CRITERIA -
00:10:47.84\00:10:50.05
BE CLOVEN HOOFED
AND CHEW THE CUD.
00:10:50.08\00:10:53.01
NOW THERE ARE SOME OF
YOU WHO ARE THINKING, 'WELL,
00:10:53.05\00:10:54.35
PASTOR DOUG, BUT DIDN'T
- AREN'T HUMANS DESIGNED TO
00:10:54.38\00:10:56.32
EAT MEAT AND ISN'T THAT
WHY GOD GAVE US THESE, YOU
00:10:56.35\00:10:58.42
KNOW, CANINE TEETH FOR THE
RIPPING AND TEARING OF MEAT.
00:10:58.45\00:11:01.16
SEE THIS
CHARACTER ON THE SCREEN?
00:11:01.19\00:11:07.93
HE'S GOT CANINE TEETH
TOO. HE'S A VEGETARIAN.
00:11:07.96\00:11:11.47
SO IT'S JUST - THERE'S
ALL KINDS OF MYTHS OUT THERE.
00:11:11.50\00:11:13.54
MATTER OF FACT, THE
ANIMAL WITH THE BIGGEST TEETH IS
00:11:13.57\00:11:15.27
AN ELEPHANT AND HIPPO -
THEY'RE ALL VEGETARIANS.
00:11:15.30\00:11:17.77
SO, PEOPLE SAY ALL KINDS OF--
00:11:17.81\00:11:19.51
LOOK AT WHAT HAPPENED
BIBLICALLY WHEN - BEFORE
00:11:19.54\00:11:23.31
THE FLOOD, YOU CAN SEE
- OF COURSE THERE WAS LOTS
00:11:23.35\00:11:26.35
OF VEGETATION BACK THEN
- YOU'VE GOT METHUSELAH -
00:11:26.38\00:11:29.88
969 YEARS, NOAH - 950
YEARS, SETH - 912 YEARS.
00:11:29.92\00:11:33.92
IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE
FLOOD IT DROPS DOWN TO 500
00:11:33.96\00:11:37.56
YEARS, 200 YEARS,
ABRAHAM - 175 YEARS, JACOB -
00:11:37.59\00:11:41.56
147 YEARS, DAVID 70 YEARS.
00:11:41.60\00:11:45.47
AND DAVID SAID, 'NOW OUR
YEARS ARE THREE-SCORE AND
00:11:45.50\00:11:48.37
TEN.' THAT'S ABOUT
70 - AS AN AVERAGE.
00:11:48.40\00:11:50.81
AND HE SAID, 'IF, BY
REASON OF STRENGTH, IT'S
00:11:50.84\00:11:52.34
FOUR-SCORE' - THAT'S 80
- HE SAID, 'IT'S STILL WITH
00:11:52.37\00:11:54.61
MUCH PAIN AND SUFFERING.'
AND SO OUR TIME IS LIMITED.
00:11:54.64\00:11:59.25
BUT YOU KNOW WHAT
HAPPENED AFTER THE FLOOD?
00:11:59.28\00:12:01.55
ALL THE
VEGETATION WAS DESTROYED.
00:12:01.58\00:12:03.12
NOAH WAS TOLD TO TAKE
THE CLEAN ANIMALS ON THE ARK
00:12:03.15\00:12:06.52
BY SEVENS -
UNCLEAN JUST TWO. WHY?
00:12:06.55\00:12:10.03
IF THEY WERE ALLOWED
TO EAT THE UNCLEAN ANIMALS
00:12:10.06\00:12:12.13
THERE WOULD BE A LOT
MORE EXTINCT SPECIES, RIGHT?
00:12:12.16\00:12:14.46
THEY WOULD HAVE EATEN
THEM DURING THE FLOOD.
00:12:14.50\00:12:16.13
BUT YOU'RE ONLY
ALLOWED TO SACRIFICE THE CLEAN
00:12:16.16\00:12:18.57
ANIMALS. WHAT TYPES OF FISH AND
00:12:18.60\00:12:20.97
SEAFOOD ARE
CONSIDERED CLEAN, BIBLICALLY?
00:12:21.00\00:12:23.87
LEVITICUS 11, VERSE 9,
"THESE YOU MAY EAT OF ALL
00:12:23.91\00:12:28.14
THAT ARE IN THE WATER:
WHATEVER...HAS FINS AND
00:12:28.18\00:12:33.58
SCALES," - IT NEEDED
BOTH CHARACTERISTICS TO BE
00:12:33.62\00:12:35.85
CLEAN AND THE REASON FOR
THAT WAS THERE'S A LOT OF
00:12:35.88\00:12:40.22
STRANGE THINGS THAT ARE
OUT THERE IN THE OCEAN AND
00:12:40.26\00:12:41.82
SOME OF THEM ARE POISONOUS.
00:12:41.86\00:12:44.19
DOUG: DON'T GO
ANYWHERE, FRIENDS.
00:12:44.69\00:12:45.99
WE'LL BE BACK IN JUST
A MOMENT WITH THE REST
00:12:46.03\00:12:47.66

00:12:47.73\00:12:49.53
IT'S NO SECRET FRIENDS, MILLIONS

00:12:53.27\00:12:55.94

GOOFY HEALTH FADS BUT OFTEN END

00:13:02.28\00:13:04.65

LET'S RETURN NOW TO TODAY'S
PRESENTATION AND LEARN SOME
00:13:49.96\00:13:52.79
MORE AMAZING FACTS
FROM THE WORD OF GOD.
00:13:52.83\00:13:55.66
DOUG: YOU KNOW, THE
U.S. NAVY DID A STUDY A FEW
00:13:57.33\00:13:59.30
YEARS AGO WHERE THEY SAID,
00:13:59.33\00:14:01.97
'WHAT DO WE GIVE, AS A
RULE OF THUMB, TO SAILORS
00:14:02.00\00:14:04.24
OR PILOTS THAT ARE SHOT
DOWN - IF THEY NEED TO EAT
00:14:04.27\00:14:06.81
SEAFOOD WHILE THEY'RE
FLOATING AROUND ON THESE
00:14:06.84\00:14:08.61
RAFTS - BECAUSE
DURING WORLD WAR II A LOT OF
00:14:08.64\00:14:10.15
THEM, THEY DIDN'T
KNOW WHAT THEY COULD AND
00:14:10.18\00:14:11.95
COULDN'T EAT.
THEY SPENT MILLIONS OF
00:14:11.98\00:14:13.92
GOVERNMENT DOLLARS.
THEY DID A STUDY AND YOU
00:14:13.95\00:14:15.78
KNOW WHAT THEY CAME BACK WITH?
00:14:15.82\00:14:17.25
THIS IS WHAT THE NAVY
STUDY CONCLUDED: IF IT HAS
00:14:17.29\00:14:20.49
FINS AND SCALES IT'S
PROBABLY SAFE TO EAT.
00:14:20.52\00:14:24.03
THEY COULD HAVE SAVED
SO MUCH MONEY AND JUST READ
00:14:24.06\00:14:25.86
WHAT THE BIBLE SAID.
(LAUGHTER) NOW YOU CAN
00:14:25.89\00:14:29.36
READ ON THERE IN
LEVITICUS AND IT SAYS THERE IN
00:14:29.40\00:14:32.40
LEVITICUS 11, VERSE
10, "BUT ALL IN THE SEAS OR
00:14:32.43\00:14:35.87
IN THE RIVERS THAT DO
NOT HAVE FINS AND SCALES," -
00:14:35.90\00:14:39.14
THAT MEANS RIVERS,
SEAS, LAKES - ALL THE OTHER
00:14:39.17\00:14:41.11
WATER CREATURES - "THAT
DO NOT HAVE FINS AND SCALES,
00:14:41.14\00:14:44.61
ALL THAT MOVE IN THE WATER OR
ANY LIVING THING WHICH IS IN THE
00:14:44.65\00:14:47.58
WATER, THEY ARE AN
ABOMINATION TO YOU."
00:14:47.62\00:14:51.02
WHY DOESN'T GOD WANT
US TO EAT CERTAIN THINGS?
00:14:51.05\00:14:53.89
THESE ANIMALS - CRABS,
LOBSTERS - YOU KNOW HOW
00:14:53.92\00:14:56.52
THEY CATCH THEM?
THEY'RE SCAVENGERS.
00:14:56.56\00:14:58.86
THEY PUT SOME DECOMPOSING
FISH HEAD IN A TRAP AND
00:14:58.89\00:15:02.00
THEY ARE MADE BY GOD TO
BE THE GARBAGE CANS IN THE
00:15:02.03\00:15:04.87
WORLD TO CLEAN THE ENVIRONMENT.
00:15:04.90\00:15:06.60
THEY EAT ALL THE
TOXINS. CLAMS - THEY SOAK
00:15:06.63\00:15:09.40
UP ALL THE TOXINS.
WE HAVE ONE PRESIDENT
00:15:09.44\00:15:11.01
THAT DIED FROM
EATING CONTAMINATED OYSTERS.
00:15:11.04\00:15:13.84
AND THESE THINGS ARE
JUST - THEY'RE NOT HEALTHY.
00:15:13.88\00:15:18.68
SHRIMP - WHEN THEY
SERVE SHRIMP, THEY SERVE IT
00:15:18.71\00:15:20.55
COMPLETE WITH THE
INTESTINES - ARE STILL -
00:15:20.58\00:15:23.52
THE DIGESTIVE
TRACK IS STILL IN THERE.
00:15:23.55\00:15:24.92
THAT'S NOT GOD'S - THAT
STUFF'S NOT GOOD FOR YOU.
00:15:24.95\00:15:27.22
THERE'S - DOWN IN THE
BOTTOM OF THE BAY WHERE
00:15:27.26\00:15:29.59
YOU GET THE OYSTERS AND
THE CLAMS ARE ALL THE TOXINS.
00:15:29.62\00:15:32.06
THEY'RE - THESE ANIMALS
ARE MADE BY GOD TO FILTER
00:15:32.09\00:15:34.13
AND HELP CLEAN THE ENVIRONMENT.
00:15:34.20\00:15:35.66
SAME THING WITH CERTAIN
BIRDS THAT ARE CONSIDERED
00:15:35.70\00:15:38.67
UNCLEAN. WHICH
BIRDS ARE UNCLEAN?
00:15:38.70\00:15:41.94
IN LEVITICUS 11, VERSES
15 AND 16, IT SAYS, "EVERY
00:15:41.97\00:15:47.34
RAVEN AFTER ITS
KIND, AND THE OWL, AND THE
00:15:47.38\00:15:53.38
NIGHTHAWK, AND
THE CUCKOW...AFTER ITS
00:15:53.42\00:15:56.95
KIND," - THE RAPTORS AND
THE CARNIVOROUS BIRDS WERE
00:15:56.99\00:16:00.49
CONSIDERED UNCLEAN.
THE CLEAN BIRDS - THERE'S
00:16:00.52\00:16:03.56
NOT A RULE LIKE FINS
AND SCALES - BUT THE CLEAN
00:16:03.59\00:16:06.83
BIRDS WERE THE
FORAGING BIRDS - TURKEY, THE
00:16:06.86\00:16:10.20
CHICKENS, PHEASANT, SO
FORTH - THEY WOULD BE CLEAN.
00:16:10.23\00:16:13.17
ARE THE LAWS ABOUT
CLEAN AND UNCLEAN ANIMALS PART
00:16:13.20\00:16:15.74
OF MOSES' CEREMONIAL LAW
WHICH ENDED AT THE CROSS?
00:16:15.77\00:16:20.04
THIS IS WHAT SOME PEOPLE THINK.
00:16:20.08\00:16:21.68
GENESIS 7, VERSES 1 AND
2 - SOME PEOPLE SAY, 'OH,
00:16:21.71\00:16:25.98
THOSE ARE LAWS JUST
FOR THE JEWS' - THOSE CLEAN
00:16:26.01\00:16:29.15
AND UNCLEAN
LAWS. WAS NOAH JEWISH?
00:16:29.18\00:16:33.39
LET'S READ THIS TOGETHER:
"...COME THOU AND ALL THY
00:16:33.42\00:16:36.96
HOUSE INTO THE
ARK...OF EVERY CLEAN BEAST THOU
00:16:36.99\00:16:42.16
SHALL TAKE TO THEE BY SEVENS."
00:16:42.20\00:16:44.83
SO DOES GOD MAKE A
DISTINCTION BETWEEN CLEAN
00:16:44.87\00:16:47.17
AND UNCLEAN ANIMALS EVEN
BEFORE THERE WERE ANY JEWS?
00:16:47.20\00:16:51.97
QUIZ: HOW MANY OF
YOU ARE RELATED TO NOAH?
00:16:52.01\00:16:56.51
>>ALL OF US. >>THAT'S RIGHT!
00:16:56.54\00:16:58.95
EVERYBODY HERE - AND SO IF
GOD MADE IT - THIS IS A TEST.
00:16:58.98\00:17:02.88
I DON'T KNOW IF ANY OF
YOU MANAGED - YOUR ANCESTORS
00:17:02.92\00:17:04.55
SURVIVED THE FLOOD,
BESIDES NOAH - EVERYBODY
00:17:04.59\00:17:07.72
HERE IS RELATED TO
NOAH. GOD MADE A DISTINCTION -
00:17:07.76\00:17:10.29
THESE ARE THINGS THAT
WERE FOR MANKIND - YOU CAN SEE
00:17:10.33\00:17:12.43
IT GOING ALL THE
WAY BACK TO GENESIS.
00:17:12.46\00:17:14.30
SHOULD A CHRISTIAN,
BIBLICALLY, USE ALCOHOLIC
00:17:14.30\00:17:17.40
BEVERAGES? SOME
CHURCHES WOULD SAY,
00:17:17.43\00:17:20.10
'SURE, WHAT'S WRONG
WITH THAT? JESUS DRANK WINE.'
00:17:20.14\00:17:22.07
IT WAS NOT
ALCOHOLIC, IT WAS GRAPE JUICE.
00:17:22.10\00:17:25.31
THE BIBLE SAYS - PROVERBS
21 - AND THE BIBLE DOESN'T
00:17:25.34\00:17:27.64
CONTRADICT ITSELF -
"WINE IS A MOCKER, STRONG DRINK
00:17:27.68\00:17:32.75
IS RAGING" - IT'S TALKING
ABOUT FERMENTED WINE HERE
00:17:32.78\00:17:35.82
- "AND WHOEVER IS
DECEIVED THEREBY IS NOT WISE."
00:17:35.85\00:17:39.49
THE BIBLE SAYS 'GIVE
WINE TO HIM THAT IS READY TO
00:17:39.52\00:17:42.16
PERISH.' THE BIBLE
TELLS US THAT NOAH DRANK WINE
00:17:42.19\00:17:45.86
AND HE STUMBLED
AROUND NAKED AND SOMETHING
00:17:45.89\00:17:48.26
EMBARRASSING HAPPENED.
LOT'S DAUGHTERS GAVE THEIR
00:17:48.30\00:17:51.80
FATHER WINE AND HE
SLEPT WITH HIS DAUGHTERS.
00:17:51.83\00:17:55.67
GOOD THINGS DO NOT HAPPEN
WHEN PEOPLE DRINK ALCOHOL.
00:17:55.70\00:17:59.14
CHRISTIANS SHOULD
NOT UNDERWRITE THAT.
00:17:59.17\00:18:01.21
AND YOU MIGHT BE SAYING,
'PASTOR DOUG, I JUST HAVE,
00:18:01.24\00:18:02.64
YOU KNOW, A LITTLE
BIT OF WINE ONCE A WEEK.
00:18:02.68\00:18:05.48
JUST A LITTLE - I HAVE
NO PROBLEM - I DON'T HAVE A
00:18:05.51\00:18:07.15
DRINKING PROBLEM.' THAT
MAY BE, BUT ARE YOU AWARE
00:18:07.18\00:18:10.92
THAT ONE OUT OF SEVEN PEOPLE
DOES HAVE A DRINKING PROBLEM?
00:18:10.95\00:18:13.56
ALCOHOL IS
ADDICTIVE. DO WE ALL KNOW THAT?
00:18:13.59\00:18:17.33
SOME PEOPLE - IT
JUST WRECKS THEIR LIVES.
00:18:17.36\00:18:19.46
IT WRECKS THEIR MARRIAGES.
00:18:19.49\00:18:20.90
IT WRECKS THEIR
CAREERS. IT WRECKS THEIR HEALTH.
00:18:20.93\00:18:23.83
THERE WILL BE PEOPLE
IN HEAVEN THAT SMOKED.
00:18:23.87\00:18:27.30
I WANT TO MAKE IT
CLEAR. THERE ARE GOING TO BE
00:18:27.34\00:18:28.80
PEOPLE THAT DRANK ALCOHOL
- MARTIN LUTHER DRANK BEER.
00:18:28.84\00:18:31.21
I DON'T THINK THEY
UNDERSTOOD BACK THEN WHAT
00:18:31.24\00:18:33.07
WE UNDERSTAND. THE
MAN WHO WROTE AMAZING
00:18:33.11\00:18:34.78
GRACE, JOHN NEWTON, HE SMOKED.
DO YOU KNOW, BACK WHEN HE
00:18:34.81\00:18:38.25
SMOKED, DOCTORS ACTUALLY
PRESCRIBED TOBACCO FOR ASTHMA.
00:18:38.28\00:18:42.65
CAN YOU IMAGINE THAT?
HOW MANY OF YOU KNEW THAT?
00:18:42.68\00:18:45.85
YEAH, BUT WE KNOW BETTER NOW.
00:18:45.89\00:18:50.19
CIGARETTES ARE THE NUMBER
TWO LEADING CAUSE OF DEATH
00:18:50.23\00:18:54.20
- PREVENTABLE CAUSE OF
DEATH - IN NORTH AMERICA -
00:18:54.20\00:18:56.80
TOBACCO. IT MAKES
YOU PREMATURELY AGE.
00:18:56.83\00:19:00.07
IT'LL MAKE YOUR
VOICE RASPY AND MAKES YOUR
00:19:00.10\00:19:03.67
CLOTHES SMELL
FUNNY. TOBACCO - THERE'S
00:19:03.71\00:19:06.84
NOTHING GOOD ABOUT
IT. THERE'S NO NUTRITIONAL
00:19:06.88\00:19:08.51
VALUE AND IT COSTS A FORTUNE.
00:19:08.54\00:19:10.65
WHEN I WAS A KID IT WAS
TWENTY-FIVE CENTS A PACK.
00:19:10.68\00:19:13.11
MAN, I CAN'T BELIEVE
WHAT PEOPLE PAY FOR A PACK OF
00:19:13.15\00:19:14.98
CIGARETTES NOW. YOU
CAN BUY A NEW CAR AFTER
00:19:15.02\00:19:17.62
QUITTING FOR A COUPLE OF
YEARS. (LAUGHTER) ARE THE BIBLE
00:19:17.65\00:19:21.02
HEALTH PRINCIPLES
STILL PRACTICAL TODAY?
00:19:21.06\00:19:23.93
NOW WE'RE GOING TO GO
THROUGH A LIST OF SEVERAL
00:19:23.96\00:19:25.26
BIBLE PRINCIPLES AND
THESE ARE HEALTH PRINCIPLES AND
00:19:25.29\00:19:29.10
YOU ARE GOING TO BE
SURPRISED HOW MUCH OF THE
00:19:29.13\00:19:30.77
WORLD, NOW, IS
REALIZING THESE ARE BASIC HEALTH
00:19:30.80\00:19:33.37
LAWS - THEY'RE ALL IN THE BIBLE.
00:19:33.40\00:19:36.07
FIRST OF ALL,
QUARANTINE PROCEDURES CONTROL
00:19:36.10\00:19:39.57
CONTAGIOUS
DISEASE. WITH THIS EBOLA
00:19:39.61\00:19:43.75
DISCUSSION, WHAT
ARE THEY TALKING ABOUT?
00:19:43.78\00:19:46.35
LOOK AT THE INCREDIBLE
LENGTHS THEY'RE GOING TO
00:19:46.38\00:19:49.32
TO MAINTAIN A STERILE
ENVIRONMENT AND QUARANTINE
00:19:49.35\00:19:51.72
PROCEDURES. IN THE
BIBLE, GOD GAVE THAT.
00:19:51.75\00:19:54.72
HE SAID IF SOMEONE
IS UNCLEAN, THEY NEED TO
00:19:54.76\00:19:56.39
WASH, THEY NEED TO STAY
OUTSIDE THE CAMP, THEY'RE
00:19:56.42\00:19:57.76
CONTAGIOUS - THERE'S ALL
KINDS OF LAWS ABOUT CONTAGION.
00:19:57.79\00:20:00.90
THEY UNDERSTOOD
THIS IN THE BIBLE.
00:20:00.93\00:20:03.03
NUMBER TWO - BASIC
THING, AGAIN, CONNECTED WITH
00:20:03.06\00:20:05.67
EBOLA - IF THESE
THINGS WERE BEING PRACTICED IN
00:20:05.70\00:20:08.64
SOME OF THE COUNTRIES -
IT SAYS HUMAN BODY WASTE
00:20:08.67\00:20:12.24
SHOULD BE BURIED.
NOW, I KNOW, IT MAY NOT BE
00:20:12.27\00:20:16.14
PLEASANT TO THINK
ABOUT THAT, BUT IF YOU'VE
00:20:16.18\00:20:17.98
TRAVELED - MANY PARTS
OF THE WORLD I GO TO, EVEN
00:20:18.01\00:20:21.35
IN BIG CITIES, THEY
STILL DON'T HAVE REGULAR
00:20:21.38\00:20:24.09
SANITATION AND - I
KNOW, IT WOULD SHOCK YOU.
00:20:24.12\00:20:28.16
AND I WON'T NAME THOSE
COUNTRIES BECAUSE I DON'T
00:20:28.19\00:20:29.76
WANT TO OFFEND ANYBODY
NOW, BUT WAY BACK IN THE
00:20:29.79\00:20:32.06
BIBLE, EVEN GOING THROUGH
THE DESERT, GOD GAVE THEM
00:20:32.09\00:20:34.00
CERTAIN RULES ABOUT
THAT. C - WASHING - REGULAR
00:20:34.00\00:20:38.83
WASHING OF THE BODY AND
CLOTHING CONTROLS GERMS.
00:20:38.87\00:20:42.20
YOU KNOW, THAT'S IN THE BIBLE?
00:20:42.24\00:20:43.97
THEY HAD TO REGULARLY WASH.
00:20:44.01\00:20:45.44
EVEN AS THEY WENT THROUGH
THE WILDERNESS, GOD ALWAYS
00:20:45.47\00:20:47.38
MADE SURE THEY
HAD A WATER SUPPLY.
00:20:47.41\00:20:49.81
MOSES WOULD STRIKE THE
ROCK AND WATER WOULD RUN
00:20:49.84\00:20:52.08
OUT AND THIS RIVER
SEEMED TO BE REPRODUCED AND
00:20:52.11\00:20:54.42
FOLLOWED THEM WHEREVER
THEY WENT IN THEIR JOURNEYS
00:20:54.45\00:20:55.98
SO THEY COULD NOT ONLY
DRINK, BUT SO THEY COULD WASH.
00:20:56.02\00:21:00.06
AND FREQUENTLY IT
TALKED ABOUT WASHING.
00:21:00.09\00:21:02.02
THE BIBLE TELLS US THAT
A LOT OF DISEASE COULD ALSO
00:21:02.06\00:21:04.69
BE PREVENTED, AS WE
KNOW TODAY, BY MORAL LIVING.
00:21:04.73\00:21:09.06
IT PREVENTS SEXUAL DISEASES.
LEVITICUS 18; PROVERBS 5,
00:21:09.10\00:21:13.90
VERSES 1 THROUGH 12
AND MANY OTHER VERSES.
00:21:13.94\00:21:16.54
THERE ARE A NUMBER
OF SEXUALLY TRANSMITTED
00:21:16.57\00:21:18.97
DISEASES AND SOME
PEOPLE HAVE RECEIVED FATAL
00:21:19.01\00:21:22.71
INFECTIONS BECAUSE
OF IMMORAL LIFESTYLE.
00:21:22.74\00:21:26.65
ANSWER E - ANOTHER
BIBLE PRINCIPLE ABOUT HEALTH -
00:21:26.68\00:21:29.88
ANIMAL FAT SHOULD NOT BE
EATEN - NOT ONLY FAT, BUT
00:21:29.92\00:21:33.82
BLOOD. YOU KNOW, DISEASE CAN BE
00:21:33.86\00:21:36.09
TRANSFERRED FROM
ANIMAL TO ANIMAL.
00:21:36.12\00:21:38.63
YOU DON'T CATCH A
DISEASE FROM A PLANT. -
00:21:38.66\00:21:40.30
YOU MIGHT GET POISON IVY -
BUT DISEASE CAN BE TRANSFERRED
00:21:40.33\00:21:43.03
FROM ANIMAL TO ANIMAL AND HE
SAYS WE SHOULD NOT EAT BLOOD.
00:21:43.06\00:21:47.50
BY THE WAY, NEW
TESTAMENT/OLD TESTAMENT,
00:21:47.54\00:21:49.57
BOTH SAY BLOOD IS FORBIDDEN.
00:21:49.60\00:21:51.27
ACTS 15 - READ IT
YOURSELF - NO QUESTION ABOUT IT.
00:21:51.31\00:21:54.24
SOME PEOPLE SAY, 'THESE
ARE OLD TESTAMENT LAWS.'
00:21:54.28\00:21:56.08
IT'S REPEATED IN
THE NEW TESTAMENT.
00:21:56.11\00:21:57.95
F - ANOTHER PRINCIPLE -
HATRED AND BITTERNESS IS
00:21:57.98\00:22:01.62
DETRIMENTAL TO ONE'S HEALTH.
00:22:01.65\00:22:03.62
SOME PEOPLE ARE SICK,
NOT JUST BECAUSE OF WHAT
00:22:03.65\00:22:05.45
THEY'RE EATING, BUT
BECAUSE OF WHAT'S EATING THEM.
00:22:05.49\00:22:08.52
AND HAVING ANGER AND
BITTERNESS IN YOUR HEART -
00:22:08.56\00:22:12.39
STRESS - IT REALLY
DOES CAUSE HEALTH PROBLEMS.
00:22:12.43\00:22:15.93
G - PROVERBS TALKS ABOUT
OVEREATING IS BAD FOR YOUR
00:22:15.96\00:22:19.33
HEALTH.
(LAUGHTER) IT'S ONE THING
00:22:19.37\00:22:21.40
TO EAT HONEY, IT
SAYS DON'T EAT TOO MUCH.
00:22:21.44\00:22:24.31
AND YOU CAN EVEN EAT
TOO MUCH OF GOOD THINGS.
00:22:24.34\00:22:27.31
AND SUMO WRESTLERS
USUALLY DON'T DIE OF OLD AGE
00:22:27.34\00:22:31.88
BECAUSE IT'S JUST,
OBVIOUSLY, NOT GOOD.
00:22:31.91\00:22:35.68
H - OUR BODIES NEED PROPER REST.
00:22:35.72\00:22:38.82
PSALMS 127, VERSE 2 AND
MARK 6:31 - THE SABBATH IS
00:22:38.85\00:22:43.73
ALL ABOUT THAT -
GETTING PLENTY OF SLEEP.
00:22:43.76\00:22:46.90
ANSWER I - THE
IMPORTANCE OF WORK.
00:22:46.93\00:22:51.33
NOT ONLY DOES IT SAY
REST THE SEVENTH DAY, IT SAYS
00:22:51.37\00:22:53.20
SIX DAYS THOU SHALT WHAT?
WORK. ANSWER J - A POSITIVE
00:22:53.23\00:22:58.77
ATTITUDE IS GOOD MEDICINE.
THE LORD WANTS US TO HAVE
00:22:58.81\00:23:02.68
GOOD ATTI - A HAPPY
HEART IS GOOD LIKE A MEDICINE.
00:23:02.71\00:23:05.15
AND EVEN WHEN I TEACH
SOME OF THESE DIFFICULT TRUTHS,
00:23:05.18\00:23:07.62
YOU KNOW, I THINK WE
SOMETIMES NEED TO BE ABLE
00:23:07.65\00:23:09.55
TO SMILE BECAUSE
LIFE IS TOUGH ENOUGH.
00:23:09.58\00:23:12.99
IS GOD CONCERNED
WITH OUR PHYSICAL HEALTH?
00:23:13.02\00:23:16.02
'I THINK GOD'S ONLY
CONCERNED WITH SPIRITUAL
00:23:16.06\00:23:17.43
THINGS.' IS THAT
WHAT THE BIBLE TEACHES?
00:23:17.46\00:23:19.83
MATTHEW 4:23, "AND
JESUS WENT ABOUT ALL GALILEE,
00:23:19.86\00:23:24.90
TEACHING IN THEIR
SYNAGOGUES, AND PREACHING
00:23:24.93\00:23:27.20
THE GOSPEL OF THE
KINGDOM, AND" - DOING WHAT?
00:23:27.24\00:23:30.14
>>HEALING.
>>"HEALING ALL MANNER OF
00:23:30.17\00:23:32.17
SICKNESS AND ALL MANNER
OF DISEASE AMONG THE PEOPLE."
00:23:32.21\00:23:36.34
DOES THE LORD
CARE ABOUT OUR HEALTH?
00:23:36.38\00:23:38.88
>>YES. >>YES. AND
HE, MANY TIMES, WILL
00:23:38.91\00:23:41.45
MIRACULOUSLY HEAL
PEOPLE. SOMETIMES SICKNESS COMES
00:23:41.48\00:23:44.69
JUST BECAUSE OF GENETICS,
SOMETIMES SICKNESS COMES
00:23:44.72\00:23:46.79
BECAUSE YOU'RE EXPOSED
TO SOMEONE ELSE WHO IS SICK,
00:23:46.82\00:23:49.26
THERE MIGHT BE SOME
ENVIRONMENTAL PROBLEM BUT,
00:23:49.29\00:23:51.43
YOU KNOW, THE MAJORITY OF
SICKNESS IN OUR COUNTRY IS
00:23:51.46\00:23:54.93
SELF-INDUCED
BECAUSE OF LIFESTYLE.
00:23:54.93\00:23:58.77
YOU KNOW WHY THERE'S A
HEALTH-CARE CRISIS AND THE
00:23:58.80\00:24:01.90
MEDICAL INSTITUTIONS ARE
BANKRUPT AND SO EXPENSIVE?
00:24:01.94\00:24:05.67
BECAUSE OF OUR
LIFESTYLES, IN PARTICULAR IN THE
00:24:05.71\00:24:08.04
WESTERN CULTURES, BECAUSE
THE RICH LIFE, THE LACK OF
00:24:08.08\00:24:11.25
EXERCISE, AND THE
ABUNDANCE, PEOPLE ARE
00:24:11.28\00:24:13.55
BRINGING ON DISEASES
EARLY IN LIFE AND THEN THEY ARE
00:24:13.58\00:24:16.32
STRUGGLING WITH THESE
DISEASES FOR MANY YEARS
00:24:16.35\00:24:18.72
AND IT'S CAUSING
CATASTROPHIC EXPENSES.
00:24:18.75\00:24:22.36
WE'D BE ABLE TO PUT A
LOT OF HOSPITALS OUT OF
00:24:22.39\00:24:24.13
BUSINESS IF WE'D
JUST FOLLOW THE BIBLE.
00:24:24.16\00:24:26.76
3 JOHN 2, "BELOVED, I
WISH ABOVE ALL THINGS" - GOD
00:24:26.80\00:24:31.60
SAYS, 'ABOVE ALL THINGS.'
- "THAT YOU MAY" - WHAT?
00:24:31.63\00:24:35.07
- "PROSPER AND BE IN
HEALTH," - HOW? "JUST AS YOUR
00:24:35.10\00:24:39.51
SOUL PROSPERS."
SO WHAT KIND OF LEVEL
00:24:39.54\00:24:42.01
DOES HE PUT IT ON? 'I
WANT HEALTH - PHYSICAL
00:24:42.04\00:24:44.35
PROSPERITY - AND I
WANT SPIRITUAL PROSPERITY.
00:24:44.38\00:24:46.68
NOW, IF YOU CAN ONLY
PICK ONE, PICK THE SPIRITUAL
00:24:46.72\00:24:49.42
BECAUSE WHAT PROFIT IS IT
IF YOU HAVE PERFECT HEALTH
00:24:49.45\00:24:51.32
AND YOU'RE A TERRIBLE SINNER?
00:24:51.35\00:24:52.85
IT'S NOT GOING TO
SAVE YOU FOR ETERNITY.
00:24:52.89\00:24:54.49
BUT GOD SAYS, 'YOU KNOW,
WHEN YOU'VE TAKEN CARE OF
00:24:54.52\00:24:56.32
THE SPIRIT, MAKE SURE
AND TAKE CARE OF THE BODY
00:24:56.36\00:24:58.33
BECAUSE HAVING YOUR
MIND CLEAR AND YOUR BODY
00:24:58.36\00:25:01.66
HEALTHY MAKES IT
EASIER TO SERVE GOD -
00:25:01.70\00:25:04.30
TO RESIST THE
DEVIL AND DO GOD'S WILL.
00:25:04.33\00:25:06.60
ANOTHER ONE - JOHN 10:10
- IT SAYS, "...I HAVE COME
00:25:06.63\00:25:10.81
THAT THEY MAY HAVE
LIFE, AND" - AND WHAT KIND OF
00:25:10.84\00:25:12.91
LIFE DOES HE WANT US TO
HAVE? - "...MORE ABUNDANTLY."
00:25:12.94\00:25:16.28
YOU SEE THE
FELLOW IN THAT PICTURE?
00:25:16.31\00:25:17.98
HIS NAME WAS BANANA GEORGE.
00:25:18.01\00:25:19.81
HE IS SKIING
BAREFOOT - I'VE DONE THAT.
00:25:19.85\00:25:22.82
THAT IS VERY, VERY HARD
FOR A YOUNG MAN TO DO - HE
00:25:22.85\00:25:26.02
IS, I THINK, 80
YEARS OLD IN THIS PICTURE.
00:25:26.05\00:25:28.12
HE CONTINUED SKIING
UNTIL 92 - DIDN'T EVEN START
00:25:28.16\00:25:31.13
SKIING UNTIL HE WAS IN
HIS FORTIES - HE LOVED BANANAS
00:25:31.16\00:25:34.40
AND THAT'S WHY HE
ALWAYS WORE YELLOW.
00:25:34.46\00:25:35.83
HE PASSED AWAY WAY UP
IN HIS 90S IN 2013, BUT I
00:25:35.86\00:25:39.87
ALWAYS WAS
FASCINATED BY THAT PICTURE.
00:25:39.90\00:25:41.67
HERE'S A PICTURE
SOMEONE JUST GAVE ME THIS YEAR.
00:25:41.70\00:25:44.24
THIS IS SOMEONE - KAREN
AND I WERE PASTORS OF THIS
00:25:44.27\00:25:47.38
CHURCH IN NORTHERN
CALIFORNIA AND ONE SISTER,
00:25:47.41\00:25:49.81
LAST TIME WE
SAW HER SHE WAS 106.
00:25:49.84\00:25:52.35
AT THE TIME OF THIS
ARTICLE - SHE PASSED AWAY
00:25:52.38\00:25:54.48
SINCE - SHE WAS 111
THEN. AND I REMEMBER I SAT WITH
00:25:54.52\00:25:58.42
HER AND HER BROTHER-IN-LAW
AND HIS WIFE - HER NAME
00:25:58.45\00:26:02.59
WAS VIOLA COOK - IN THEIR
HOME AND I WOULD EAT WITH THEM.
00:26:02.62\00:26:04.96
THEY HAD DELICIOUS VEGETARIAN
FOOD - SHE WAS A VEGETARIAN
00:26:04.99\00:26:06.96
HER WHOLE LIFE.
AND I REMEMBER HER
00:26:07.00\00:26:09.00
BROTHER-IN-LAW - I USED
TO SAY, 'ART, HOW DO YOU GUYS
00:26:09.03\00:26:12.50
HAVE SUCH GREAT
HEALTH AND STRENGTH?'
00:26:12.53\00:26:14.20
HERE I WAS A YOUNG
WHIPPERSNAPPER - I'D TRY
00:26:14.24\00:26:15.57
AND DO WORK FOR THEM - I
COULDN'T KEEP UP WITH THEM.
00:26:15.60\00:26:17.54
AND I NOTICED HE
PUSHED AWAY FROM THE TABLE.
00:26:17.57\00:26:19.57
I SAID, 'YOU'RE DONE EATING?'
00:26:19.61\00:26:20.94
HE SAID, 'HERE'S THE
SECRET TO LIFE, DOUG.
00:26:20.98\00:26:23.65
STOP EATING WHILE
YOU'RE STILL A LITTLE HUNGRY.
00:26:23.68\00:26:26.18
WAKE UP WHEN YOU'RE
STILL A LITTLE TIRED.
00:26:26.21\00:26:29.12
AND STOP TALKING WHEN
YOU STILL HAVE SOMETHING LEFT
00:26:29.15\00:26:30.95
TO SAY. (LAUGHTER) SO THAT'S
THE SECRET TO HAPPINESS IN LIFE.
00:26:30.99\00:26:36.36
WHY IS OUR HEALTH
SO IMPORTANT TO GOD?
00:26:36.39\00:26:39.26
1 CORINTHIANS 6:19,
"...YOUR BODY" - AND VERSE
00:26:39.29\00:26:43.83
20 - "IS THE" -
WHAT? >>THE TEMPLE.
00:26:43.87\00:26:46.27
>>"THE TEMPLE OF THE HOLY
SPIRIT...THEREFORE GLORIFY
00:26:46.30\00:26:50.67
GOD IN YOUR BODY AND IN
YOUR SPIRIT, WHICH ARE GOD'S."
00:26:50.71\00:26:55.04
AGAIN, ROMANS 12:1,
"...PRESENT YOUR BODY A
00:26:55.08\00:26:58.91
LIVING SACRIFICE" -
HOW? - "HOLY AND ACCEPTABLE
00:26:58.95\00:27:03.15
TO GOD, WHICH IS
YOUR REASONABLE SERVICE."
00:27:03.18\00:27:06.55
GOD SAYS, 'LOOK,
YOU'VE BEEN - YOU'RE MADE IN
00:27:06.59\00:27:08.72
GOD'S IMAGE, YOU BELONG
TO GOD, YOU ARE TO PRESENT,
00:27:08.76\00:27:12.89
NOT JUST YOUR SPIRIT,
BUT PRESENT YOUR BODY - YOU
00:27:12.93\00:27:16.13
KNOW, WE WORSHIP GOD,
NOT JUST WITH OUR MINDS, WE
00:27:16.16\00:27:18.70
WORSHIP GOD WITH OUR
LIVES AND WHETHER YOU EAT OR
00:27:18.73\00:27:22.37
DRINK, WHATEVER YOU DO,
DO ALL TO THE GLORY OF GOD.
