ANNOUNCER: THIS PRESENTATION
IS BROUGHT TO YOU BY THE
00:00:02.23\00:00:04.37
FRIENDS OF THE
AMAZING FACTS MINISTRY.
00:00:04.40\00:00:07.07
DOUG BATCHELOR: IN
1629 THE EMPEROR OF INDIA,
00:00:08.90\00:00:11.34
SHAH JAHAN, WENT ON A MILITARY
CAMPAIGN TO CRUSH A REBELLION
00:00:11.37\00:00:15.08
IN HIS KINGDOM.
00:00:15.11\00:00:16.71
EVEN THOUGH SHE
WAS ILL AND PREGNANT,
00:00:16.75\00:00:18.75
HIS WIFE JOINED HIM
ON THE GRUELING JOURNEY.
00:00:18.78\00:00:21.38
ON THE WAY SHE COLLAPSED,
GAVE BIRTH TO THEIR DAUGHTER,
00:00:21.42\00:00:24.32
AND THEN DIED.
00:00:24.35\00:00:25.79
THE BEAUTIFUL EMPRESS
WAS ONLY 39 YEARS OLD.
00:00:25.82\00:00:28.66
BESIDE HIMSELF WITH GRIEF, THE
EMPEROR CARRIED HIS WIFE'S BODY
00:00:28.69\00:00:32.19
HOME AND CONSTANTLY
WORE WHITE ROBES OF MOURNING.
00:00:32.23\00:00:35.40
WHEN HE FINALLY
CAME OUT OF SECLUSION,
00:00:35.43\00:00:37.43
HE ORDERED THAT A
BEAUTIFUL PALACE BE BUILT
00:00:37.47\00:00:39.70
FOR HIS BELOVED WIFE.
00:00:39.73\00:00:41.24
IT WAS NEVER TO
BE CALLED A TOMB;
00:00:41.27\00:00:43.14
IT WAS TO BE
CALLED BY THE INDIAN WORD,
00:00:43.17\00:00:45.27
MAHAL, MEANING PALACE.
00:00:45.31\00:00:47.91
THE PALACE THAT THE
EMPEROR BUILT IS ONE OF THE MOST
00:00:47.94\00:00:50.95
BREATHTAKING
STRUCTURES EVER BUILT.
00:00:50.98\00:00:53.18
A DAZZLING WONDER OF
MARBLE AND JEWELS KNOWN TODAY
00:00:53.21\00:00:57.32
AS THE TAJ MAHAL.
00:00:57.35\00:00:58.85
THIS MAJESTIC TOMB IS AN ABIDING
MEMORIAL OF THE EMPEROR'S
00:00:58.89\00:01:03.06
LOVE FOR HIS WIFE.
00:01:03.09\00:01:04.39
DID YOU KNOW THAT GOD HAS
ALSO GIVEN BELIEVERS AN ETERNAL
00:01:04.43\00:01:08.40
MEMORIAL OF HIS
CREATIVE POWER OF LOVE?
00:01:08.43\00:01:11.83
IT'S BUILT NOT IN
MARBLE BUT IN TIME,
00:01:11.87\00:01:15.24
AND IT CAN CHANGE YOUR LIFE.
00:01:15.27\00:01:17.14
SO, LET'S DIVE INTO TOGETHER
NOW AND EXPLORE THIS IMPORTANT
00:01:17.17\00:01:20.58
AND FASCINATING SUBJECT.
00:01:20.61\00:01:22.61
DOUG: WE'RE GOING TO START WITH
00:01:26.58\00:01:28.05
A STORY THAT YOU FIND
IN THE BIBLE IN THE BOOK
00:01:28.08\00:01:32.12
OF DANIEL - DANIEL
CHAPTER 1 - AND IT'S CALLED
00:01:32.15\00:01:35.79
BABYLON'S BUFFET AND
THIS IS BASED UPON DANIEL 1,
00:01:35.82\00:01:40.86
VERSES 1 THROUGH 21
- IT'S A WHOLE CHAPTER.
00:01:40.90\00:01:43.10
NOW DANIEL IS A BOOK THAT
DEALS A LOT WITH PROPHECY, BUT
00:01:43.13\00:01:45.93
IT'S INTERESTING HOW THE BOOK
OF DANIEL BEGINS WITH A TEST.
00:01:45.97\00:01:50.91
ABOUT 500 YEARS BEFORE CHRIST,
KING NEBUCHADNEZZAR INVADED
00:01:50.94\00:01:54.24
JERUSALEM, AND ON HIS
FIRST ATTACK ON THE CITY
00:01:54.28\00:01:58.55
HE CARRIED AWAY
THOUSANDS OF PRISONERS FROM
00:01:58.58\00:02:01.88
JERUSALEM TO BABYLON
AND AMONG THOSE HE CARRIED
00:02:01.92\00:02:05.22
AWAY WERE SOME OF
THE PRINCES OF JERUSALEM.
00:02:05.25\00:02:09.29
SOME OF THEM, THE BIBLE
FORETOLD, WERE DESCENDANTS OF
00:02:09.32\00:02:12.26
KING HEZEKIAH. AND
THEY WERE TAKEN AND THEY
00:02:12.29\00:02:15.16
WERE EDUCATED IN
THE PALACE OF BABYLON.
00:02:15.20\00:02:18.63
AND THE KING SAID,
'LOOK, WE'RE GOING TO TEACH YOU
00:02:18.67\00:02:20.24
THE LANGUAGE OF THE
BABYLONIANS' - HE TOOK THE
00:02:20.27\00:02:21.80
BRIGHTEST AND THE BEST
LOOKING OF ALL THE ROYAL
00:02:21.84\00:02:25.11
CHILDREN BACK TO BABYLON
AND HE SAID, 'I'M GOING TO
00:02:25.14\00:02:28.64
TRAIN YOU IN ALL THE
SCIENCES OF BABYLON,' -
00:02:28.68\00:02:31.85
WHICH WAS THE MOST
SOPHISTICATED PLACE IN THE
00:02:31.88\00:02:33.58
WORLD AT THE TIME -
'AND AFTER THREE YEARS, THOSE
00:02:33.62\00:02:37.02
WHO PASSED THE TEST -
THE CREAM OF THE CROP - WILL
00:02:37.05\00:02:39.39
STAND BEFORE ME AND THEY
WILL BE REPRESENTATIVES TO
00:02:39.42\00:02:42.62
THESE OTHER NATIONS.'
NEBUCHADNEZZAR WAS REALLY
00:02:42.66\00:02:46.09
A VERY SMART LEADER AND
HE HAD GREAT COUNSELORS AND
00:02:46.13\00:02:48.36
THIS WAS A WISE PLAN. SO
AMONG SOME OF THE THOUSANDS
00:02:48.40\00:02:51.90
THAT WERE CARRIED FROM JERUSALEM
WERE FOUR HEBREW YOUNG MEN.
00:02:51.93\00:02:55.54
THEIR JEWISH NAMES WERE
DANIEL, HANANIAH, MISHAEL,
00:02:55.57\00:02:59.74
AND AZARIAH.
BABYLONIAN NAMES WERE
00:02:59.77\00:03:02.78
BELTESHAZAR,
SHADRACH, MESHACH, AND ABEDNEGO.
00:03:02.81\00:03:07.38
AND DANIEL, SHADRACH,
MESHACH, AND ABEDNEGO WENT
00:03:07.42\00:03:11.79
TO THIS SCHOOL, BUT
THEN THEY FOUND OUT THAT THEY
00:03:11.82\00:03:14.12
WERE GOING TO BE
REQUIRED TO EAT FROM THE ROYAL
00:03:14.16\00:03:15.99
CAFETERIA. NOW
MOST CAPTIVES WOULD
00:03:16.02\00:03:17.59
HAVE BEEN THRILLED.
ALL THE OTHER STUDENTS
00:03:17.63\00:03:19.73
FROM THE OTHER PARTS OF
THE WORLD NEBUCHADNEZZAR
00:03:19.76\00:03:21.43
CONQUERED - THEY
WERE THRILLED THAT THEY
00:03:21.46\00:03:22.83
GOT TO EAT AT THE
BABYLONIAN BUFFET.
00:03:22.86\00:03:25.83
IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE
THE BEST FOOD IN THE WORLD,
00:03:25.87\00:03:28.87
BUT RIGHT AWAY DANIEL
AND HIS FRIENDS REALIZED THEY
00:03:28.90\00:03:31.37
COULDN'T EAT THAT
BECAUSE THERE WAS FOOD IN THERE
00:03:31.41\00:03:33.17
THAT GOD HAD
DESIGNATED AS UNCLEAN.
00:03:33.21\00:03:36.48
AND IT SAYS IN DANIEL
1, VERSE 8, "BUT DANIEL
00:03:36.51\00:03:39.71
PURPOSED IN HIS HEART
THAT HE WOULD NOT DEFILE
00:03:39.75\00:03:42.88
HIMSELF WITH THE PORTION
OF THE KING'S DELICACIES,
00:03:42.92\00:03:46.62
NOR WITH THE WINE WHICH
HE DRANK;" - SO DANIEL WENT
00:03:46.65\00:03:50.03
TO THE CHIEF OF THE
EUNUCHS, WHICH WAS IN
00:03:50.06\00:03:51.79
CHARGE OF THE
PREPARATION AND THEIR TRAINING,
00:03:51.83\00:03:54.23
AND HE SAID, 'LET
US JUST EAT VEGETABLES.
00:03:54.30\00:03:57.37
GIVE US TEN DAYS.' AND
YOU'LL FIND THE KING JAMES
00:03:57.40\00:03:59.40
WORD THERE IS 'PULSE' -
SOME OF YOUR TRANSLATIONS
00:03:59.43\00:04:01.84
IT JUST SAYS VEGETABLES
- AND HE SAID, 'OH, I CAN'T
00:04:01.87\00:04:04.64
DO THAT.' - HE SAYS -
'THE KING'S GOING TO LOOK AT
00:04:04.67\00:04:06.27
YOU AND SAY, 'HOW COME
THESE YOUNG MEN ARE SICK?'
00:04:06.31\00:04:08.11
AND I'M GOING TO SAY,
'WELL, THEY'RE NOT EATING THE
00:04:08.14\00:04:09.64
FOOD THAT YOU PROVIDED.' 'WHAT?
00:04:09.68\00:04:11.21
MY FOOD WASN'T
GOOD ENOUGH FOR THEM?'
00:04:11.25\00:04:12.91
AND HE SAID, 'HE'LL TAKE
MY HEAD OFF.' DANIEL SAID,
00:04:12.95\00:04:15.02
'YOU TEST US. GIVE US TEN DAYS.
00:04:15.05\00:04:16.89
IF WE DON'T LOOK OKAY,
FINE.' SO, FOR TEN DAYS
00:04:16.92\00:04:21.69
THEY ATE NOTHING BUT VEGETABLES.
00:04:21.72\00:04:24.76
THEY ATE VEGETABLE STEW
AND A VEGETARIAN DIET - DRANK
00:04:24.79\00:04:28.30
WATER - AND THE BIBLE
SAYS - DANIEL 1, VERSE 15 -
00:04:28.33\00:04:32.67
"AND AT THE END OF TEN
DAYS THEIR COUNTENANCES
00:04:32.70\00:04:35.57
APPEARED FAIRER AND
FATTER IN FLESH THAN ALL THE
00:04:35.60\00:04:39.24
CHILDREN WHICH DID EAT
THE PORTION OF THE KING'S
00:04:39.27\00:04:41.38
MEAT." THEY WERE HEALTHIER THAN
00:04:41.41\00:04:44.05
THOSE WHO WERE EATING
FROM THE CAFETERIA OF BABYLON.
00:04:44.08\00:04:46.58
NOW WHY DOES THE
BIBLE INCLUDE THIS STORY?
00:04:46.61\00:04:50.99
THE BIBLE SAYS THAT
WHEN NEBUCHADNEZZAR HAD THEM
00:04:51.02\00:04:52.72
TESTED - PROBABLY BY
HIMSELF AS WELL AS HIS
00:04:52.75\00:04:55.82
OTHER WISE MEN IN THE
KINGDOM - THEY FOUND THAT
00:04:55.86\00:04:58.79
AMONG ALL THE
CAPTIVES THAT HAD BEEN TRAINED,
00:04:58.83\00:05:01.16
DANIEL, HANANIAH, MISHAEL,
AND AZARIAH WERE TEN TIMES
00:05:01.20\00:05:05.50
WISER - TEN TIMES WISER -
THAN ANY OF THE OTHERS WHO
00:05:05.53\00:05:10.51
HAD TRAINED.
BEING A CHRISTIAN IS NOT
00:05:10.54\00:05:13.58
JUST ABOUT A
CHANGE IN YOUR THINKING.
00:05:13.61\00:05:16.34
BEING A CHRISTIAN IS AN
ENTIRE TRANSFORMATION AND
00:05:16.38\00:05:20.72
'WHATEVER YOU EAT AND
WHATEVER YOU DRINK, DO ALL
00:05:20.75\00:05:23.08
TO THE GLORY OF GOD.'
IT DOES MAKE A DIFFERENCE
00:05:23.12\00:05:25.29
WHAT YOU DO WITH YOUR BODY.
00:05:25.32\00:05:26.76
YOUR BODY IS THE
TEMPLE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT.
00:05:26.79\00:05:29.89
AND A TRUTH THAT HAS
BEEN LOST IN RECENT YEARS TO
00:05:29.92\00:05:34.30
CHRISTIANITY - BOTH
PROTESTANTS AND CATHOLICS
00:05:34.36\00:05:37.83
AND EVANGELICALS - IS A
VERY CLEAR BIBLICAL TEACHING
00:05:37.87\00:05:41.30
THAT WE ARE TO
TAKE CARE OF OUR BODIES.
00:05:41.34\00:05:44.84
WE ARE TO BE CAREFUL.
WE ARE TO USE SELF-CONTROL
00:05:44.87\00:05:47.41
AND ESPECIALLY IS
THAT IMPORTANT WHEN WE'RE
00:05:47.44\00:05:49.74
LIVING IN A SOCIETY THAT
IS DROWNING IN ABUNDANCE.
00:05:49.78\00:05:53.28
#1 - WHAT WAS THE ORIGINAL
DIET THAT GOD DESIGNED FOR
00:05:53.31\00:05:56.38
HUMANS IN THE BEGINNING
- WE'RE GOING ALL THE WAY
00:05:56.42\00:05:58.42
BACK TO GENESIS NOW
- FIRST CHAPTER IN THE
00:05:58.45\00:06:01.16
BIBLE, GENESIS 1:29, AND
GOD SAID, 'BEHOLD, I HAVE
00:06:01.19\00:06:06.16
GIVEN YOU EVERY HERB
BEARING SEED,'" - AND
00:06:06.19\00:06:10.07
THAT'S TALKING
ABOUT EVERY PLANT.
00:06:10.10\00:06:12.03
AND IT GOES ON TO SAY,
"...AND EVERY TREE, IN THE
00:06:12.07\00:06:15.07
WHICH IS THE FRUIT OF A
TREE YIELDING SEED; TO YOU
00:06:15.10\00:06:20.64
IT SHALL BE FOR MEAT.'" -
AND THAT WORD 'MEAT' THERE
00:06:20.68\00:06:23.51
IS THE OLD ENGLISH
WORD. IT MEANS 'FOOD' - IT'S
00:06:23.55\00:06:25.61
LIKE THE MEAT OF A NUT -
IT JUST MEANS 'THE FOOD'.
00:06:25.65\00:06:27.75
SO THE ORIGINAL DIET
FOR ADAM AND EVE WAS WHAT?
00:06:27.78\00:06:31.45
FRUITS, GRAINS, NUTS -
IT WAS A 'FRUITARIAN' DIET.
00:06:31.49\00:06:36.56
THEY PROBABLY DIDN'T
EVEN COOK ANY FOOD BACK THERE.
00:06:36.59\00:06:38.89
HOW LONG DID GOD INTEND
FOR ADAM AND EVE TO LIVE
00:06:38.93\00:06:41.50
WHEN HE FIRST
MADE THEM? >>FOREVER.
00:06:41.53\00:06:43.20
>>FOREVER. AND
THEN, AFTER SIN, GOD
00:06:43.23\00:06:48.77
ADDED ONE MORE THING TO
THE DIET BECAUSE HE SAID,
00:06:48.80\00:06:50.91
'YOU CAN'T EAT FROM THE
TREE OF LIFE ANY LONGER.'
00:06:50.94\00:06:53.24
AFTER ADAM AND EVE
SINNED IT SAYS, 'WHAT
00:06:53.27\00:06:54.88
SUPPLEMENTAL FOOD DID
GOD THEN ADD TO THEIR DIET?'
00:06:54.91\00:06:58.11
GENESIS 3:18, IT
SAYS, "...THOU SHALT EAT THE
00:06:58.15\00:07:03.32
HERB OF THE FIELD."
THAT MEANS THE VEGETABLE.
00:07:03.35\00:07:06.92
BUT A VEGETABLE IS
TECHNICALLY - OH, LET ME
00:07:06.96\00:07:10.56
GIVE YOU A TEST AND FIND
OUT - FRUIT OR VEGETABLE -
00:07:10.59\00:07:14.56
BANANA? >>FRUIT.
00:07:14.60\00:07:16.20
>>FRUIT. APPLE? >>FRUIT.
00:07:16.23\00:07:18.27
>>ZUCCHINI? >>VEGETABLE.
00:07:18.30\00:07:20.77
>>FRUIT. EGGPLANT? >>VEGETABLE.
00:07:20.80\00:07:25.31
>>FRUIT. BRUSSELS SPROUTS?
00:07:25.34\00:07:28.78
>>VEGETABLE. >>INEDIBLE.
00:07:28.81\00:07:31.18
(LAUGHTER) BRUSSELS SPROUTS
ARE ACTUALLY A VEGETABLE.
00:07:31.21\00:07:36.45
CELERY? >>VEGETABLE.
00:07:36.48\00:07:38.39
>>IT'S A VEGETABLE. POTATO?
00:07:38.42\00:07:40.82
>>VEGETABLE. >>IT'S A VEGETABLE.
00:07:40.86\00:07:42.39
SO ANY PART OF THE
PLANT OTHER THAN THE SEED AND
00:07:42.42\00:07:44.66
THE PRODUCT OF THE FLOWER
- A FRUIT IS THE PRODUCT OF
00:07:44.69\00:07:46.70
THE FLOWER - IS GOING
TO BE A VEGETABLE - THE
00:07:46.73\00:07:49.56
STALK, THE LEAVES, THE
FLOWERS - THOSE ARE ALL
00:07:49.60\00:07:51.07
CONSIDERED TO BE VEGETABLES.
00:07:51.10\00:07:52.67
THE ROOT - YOU KNOW,
THEY'RE TUBERS - A POTATO.
00:07:52.70\00:07:57.07
SO HE ADDED THAT TO
THE DIET AND THERE WERE ALL
00:07:57.11\00:07:58.71
KINDS OF IMPORTANT
ENZYMES AND THINGS IN THERE.
00:07:58.74\00:08:01.71
SO THERE ARE BENEFITS -
THERE'S NO QUESTION THAT
00:08:01.74\00:08:04.21
THERE ARE BENEFITS TO
EATING A VEGETABLE-BASED DIET.
00:08:04.25\00:08:07.05
FOR AWHILE, PEOPLE
THOUGHT THAT SEVENTH-DAY
00:08:07.08\00:08:09.05
ADVENTISTS WERE KOOKS,
BUT I DON'T KNOW IF YOU READ
00:08:09.08\00:08:11.49
THE NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC
A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO.
00:08:11.52\00:08:13.99
IT SAID - THEY PICKED
OUT THE THREE LONGEST LIVING
00:08:14.02\00:08:16.79
PEOPLE IN THE
WORLD. DID YOU KNOW THAT?
00:08:16.83\00:08:19.56
YOU CAN GO LOOK THIS
UP. NUMBER 1, THERE WERE
00:08:19.59\00:08:21.60
PEOPLE IN SARDINIA
IN - OFF OF ITALY IN THE
00:08:21.63\00:08:25.00
MEDITERRANEAN, THE
PEOPLE OF OKINAWA, AND THE
00:08:25.03\00:08:28.84
SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTISTS,
PRINCIPALLY IN THE LOMA
00:08:28.87\00:08:31.11
LINDA AREA WHERE THEY
HAVE A UNIVERSITY AND THERE'S
00:08:31.14\00:08:32.84
A LARGE CONCENTRATION.
THEY STUDIED THEM.
00:08:32.87\00:08:34.71
THEY LIVED THE LONGEST OF
ANY PEOPLE GROUPS IN THE WORLD.
00:08:34.74\00:08:38.51
AND WHEN THEY ASKED WHY
DO THESE PEOPLE LIVE LONGER,
00:08:38.55\00:08:40.78
THEY SAID, 'WELL,
SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTISTS -
00:08:40.82\00:08:42.78
IT'S THE COMMUNITY, THE
REST FROM THE SABBATH, AND
00:08:42.82\00:08:45.05
THEY'RE LARGELY - NOT
ENTIRELY, BUT LARGELY - A
00:08:45.09\00:08:47.76
VEGETARIAN
LIFESTYLE - HEALTHY LIFESTYLE.
00:08:47.79\00:08:50.29
AND SO, WHAT WE'RE
SHARING WITH YOU IS NOT SOME
00:08:50.33\00:08:53.03
RELIGIOUS BELIEF, THIS
IS HARD, SCIENTIFIC FACT -
00:08:53.06\00:08:56.20
THAT IF YOU EAT - THE
CLOSER TO THE BIBLICAL
00:08:56.23\00:08:59.43
DIET THAT GOD PRESCRIBED,
THE LONGER YOU'RE GOING TO
00:08:59.47\00:09:03.81
LIVE, THE BETTER
YOU'RE GOING TO FEEL, THE LESS
00:09:03.84\00:09:05.37
DISEASE YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE.
00:09:05.41\00:09:07.81
IN THE MANUAL HE TELLS
YOU WHAT THE IDEAL DIET IS FOR
00:09:07.84\00:09:10.15
MAN, AND FOLLOWING THAT
DIET WILL CERTAINLY MAKE
00:09:10.18\00:09:13.52
YOU FEEL BETTER.
I'LL SHARE A LITTLE MORE
00:09:13.55\00:09:15.08
PERSONALLY WITH
YOU AS WE PROCEED.
00:09:15.12\00:09:17.65
WHAT DOES THE BIBLE
SAY, MORE SPECIFICALLY, ABOUT
00:09:17.69\00:09:19.72
EATING? ARE THERE SOME MAMMALS -
00:09:19.75\00:09:21.52
SOME FOODS THAT ARE CLEAN
AND SOME THAT ARE UNCLEAN?
00:09:21.56\00:09:23.93
YOU KNOW, DANIEL SAID
HE WOULDN'T DEFILE HIMSELF
00:09:23.96\00:09:26.76
WITH THE MEAT WHICH
THE KING'S SERVANTS WERE
00:09:26.80\00:09:28.53
EATING. WHAT MAMMALS DOES GOD
00:09:28.56\00:09:30.47
PERMIT HUMANS TO
EAT? THAT'S QUESTION #9.
00:09:30.50\00:09:33.20
YOU LOOK IN LEVITICUS
11, VERSE 3, IT TELLS US THAT
00:09:33.23\00:09:36.54
THERE'S TWO CRITERIA
THAT ARE SUPPOSED TO BE ON A
00:09:36.57\00:09:38.54
MAMMAL THAT IS
GOING TO BE EATEN.
00:09:38.57\00:09:40.11
IT SAYS, WHATEVER DOES WHAT?
00:09:40.14\00:09:42.04
PARTS THE HOOF, AND IS
CLOVEN FOOTED - AND CHEWS
00:09:42.08\00:09:47.05
THE CUD - THESE ARE
CLEAN. NOW, THAT WOULD MEAN THAT
00:09:47.08\00:09:51.32
GOAT, SHEEP, DEER,
ELK, MOOSE, THESE THINGS ARE
00:09:51.35\00:09:57.53
WHAT YOU WOULD
CALL 'CLEAN' ANIMALS.
00:09:57.56\00:09:59.96
BUT THEN HE GOES ON TO
SAY SOME THINGS THAT MAY CHEW
00:10:00.00\00:10:02.63
THE CUD - LIKE A CAMEL - BUT
IT DOESN'T HAVE A CLOVEN HOOF.
00:10:02.66\00:10:04.80
IT NEEDED BOTH
CRITERIA - THEY'RE UNCLEAN.
00:10:04.83\00:10:08.24
I KNOW SOME OF YOU ARE
PROBABLY THINKING, 'OH,
00:10:08.27\00:10:09.84
DOUG, YOU TELL ME I
HAVE TO GET RID OF MY CAMEL
00:10:09.87\00:10:11.47
STEAK TONIGHT AFTER THE
PROGRAM.' (LAUGHTER) YES.
00:10:11.51\00:10:14.28
THAT'S WHY JESUS
MADE FUN OF THE PHARISEES.
00:10:14.31\00:10:16.75
HE SAID, 'YOU'RE HYPOCRITES.
00:10:16.78\00:10:18.35
YOU STRAIN A GNAT' -
WHAT HE MEANT BY THAT WAS THEY
00:10:18.38\00:10:21.12
USED TO POUR THEIR
WATER THROUGH THESE STRAINING
00:10:21.15\00:10:23.25
CLOTHS - THEY SAID,
'LEST WE HAVE A GNAT IN THERE
00:10:23.28\00:10:26.05
AND IT'S UNCLEAN.' THEY
WOULD STRAIN THEIR WATER
00:10:26.09\00:10:28.69
TO PREVENT EATING A
GNAT, BUT WHEN NO ONE WAS
00:10:28.72\00:10:31.09
LOOKING THEY'D EAT A
CAMEL STEAK, WHICH WAS UNCLEAN,
00:10:31.13\00:10:32.83
BIBLICALLY. HE
SAYS, 'YOU STRAIN A
00:10:32.86\00:10:34.13
GNAT AND YOU SWALLOW A CAMEL.
00:10:34.20\00:10:35.56
YOU EVER HEARD
THAT EXPRESSION BEFORE?
00:10:35.60\00:10:36.90
THAT'S WHAT HE'S TALKING ABOUT.
00:10:36.93\00:10:38.53
HE'S SAYING 'YOU'RE HYPOCRITES.
00:10:38.57\00:10:40.00
YOU KNOW CAMEL IS UNCLEAN
BUT YOU'RE SO AFRAID OF A
00:10:40.04\00:10:41.77
LITTLE GNAT AND WHEN
NO ONE'S LOOKING YOU EAT
00:10:41.80\00:10:43.41
CAMEL STEAK.' IF
YOU'RE GOING TO EAT MEAT, IT
00:10:43.44\00:10:47.38
NEEDS TO HAVE
THOSE TWO CRITERIA -
00:10:47.41\00:10:49.61
BE CLOVEN HOOFED
AND CHEW THE CUD.
00:10:49.64\00:10:52.58
NOW THERE ARE SOME OF
YOU WHO ARE THINKING, 'WELL,
00:10:52.61\00:10:53.92
PASTOR DOUG, BUT DIDN'T
- AREN'T HUMANS DESIGNED TO
00:10:53.95\00:10:55.88
EAT MEAT AND ISN'T THAT
WHY GOD GAVE US THESE, YOU
00:10:55.92\00:10:57.99
KNOW, CANINE TEETH FOR THE
RIPPING AND TEARING OF MEAT.
00:10:58.02\00:11:00.72
SEE THIS
CHARACTER ON THE SCREEN?
00:11:00.76\00:11:07.50
HE'S GOT CANINE TEETH
TOO. HE'S A VEGETARIAN.
00:11:07.50\00:11:11.03
SO IT'S JUST - THERE'S
ALL KINDS OF MYTHS OUT THERE.
00:11:11.07\00:11:13.10
MATTER OF FACT, THE
ANIMAL WITH THE BIGGEST TEETH IS
00:11:13.13\00:11:14.84
AN ELEPHANT AND HIPPO -
THEY'RE ALL VEGETARIANS.
00:11:14.87\00:11:17.01
DOUG: DON'T GO
ANYWHERE, FRIENDS.
00:11:18.17\00:11:19.47
WE'LL BE BACK IN JUST
A MOMENT WITH THE REST

LET'S RETURN NOW TO TODAY'S
PRESENTATION AND LEARN SOME
00:12:23.44\00:12:26.27
MORE AMAZING FACTS
FROM THE WORD OF GOD.
00:12:26.31\00:12:29.18
DOUG: YOU KNOW, THE
U.S. NAVY DID A STUDY A FEW
00:12:30.65\00:12:32.61
YEARS AGO WHERE THEY SAID,
00:12:32.65\00:12:35.22
'WHAT DO WE GIVE, AS A
RULE OF THUMB, TO SAILORS
00:12:35.25\00:12:37.49
OR PILOTS THAT ARE SHOT
DOWN - IF THEY NEED TO EAT
00:12:37.52\00:12:40.06
SEAFOOD WHILE THEY'RE
FLOATING AROUND ON THESE
00:12:40.09\00:12:41.86
RAFTS - BECAUSE
DURING WORLD WAR II A LOT OF
00:12:41.89\00:12:43.39
THEM, THEY DIDN'T
KNOW WHAT THEY COULD AND
00:12:43.43\00:12:45.19
COULDN'T EAT.
THEY SPENT MILLIONS OF
00:12:45.23\00:12:47.13
GOVERNMENT DOLLARS.
THEY DID A STUDY AND YOU
00:12:47.20\00:12:49.00
KNOW WHAT THEY CAME BACK WITH?
00:12:49.03\00:12:50.47
THIS IS WHAT THE NAVY
STUDY CONCLUDED: IF IT HAS
00:12:50.50\00:12:53.70
FINS AND SCALES IT'S
PROBABLY SAFE TO EAT.
00:12:53.74\00:12:57.24
THEY COULD HAVE SAVED
SO MUCH MONEY AND JUST READ
00:12:57.27\00:12:59.07
WHAT THE BIBLE SAID.
(LAUGHTER) NOW YOU CAN
00:12:59.11\00:13:02.68
READ ON THERE IN
LEVITICUS AND IT SAYS THERE IN
00:13:02.71\00:13:05.71
LEVITICUS 11, VERSE
10, "BUT ALL IN THE SEAS OR
00:13:05.75\00:13:09.18
IN THE RIVERS THAT DO
NOT HAVE FINS AND SCALES," -
00:13:09.22\00:13:12.45
THAT MEANS RIVERS,
SEAS, LAKES - ALL THE OTHER
00:13:12.49\00:13:14.42
WATER CREATURES - "THAT
DO NOT HAVE FINS AND SCALES,
00:13:14.46\00:13:17.93
ALL THAT MOVE IN THE WATER OR
ANY LIVING THING WHICH IS IN THE
00:13:17.96\00:13:20.90
WATER, THEY ARE AN
ABOMINATION TO YOU."
00:13:20.93\00:13:24.30
WHY DOESN'T GOD WANT
US TO EAT CERTAIN THINGS?
00:13:24.33\00:13:27.17
THESE ANIMALS - CRABS,
LOBSTERS - YOU KNOW HOW
00:13:27.20\00:13:29.80
THEY CATCH THEM?
THEY'RE SCAVENGERS.
00:13:29.84\00:13:32.14
THEY PUT SOME DECOMPOSING
FISH HEAD IN A TRAP AND
00:13:32.17\00:13:35.24
THEY ARE MADE BY GOD TO
BE THE GARBAGE CANS IN THE
00:13:35.28\00:13:38.11
WORLD TO CLEAN THE ENVIRONMENT.
00:13:38.15\00:13:39.85
THEY EAT ALL THE
TOXINS. CLAMS - THEY SOAK
00:13:39.88\00:13:42.65
UP ALL THE TOXINS.
WE HAVE ONE PRESIDENT
00:13:42.68\00:13:44.25
THAT DIED FROM
EATING CONTAMINATED OYSTERS.
00:13:44.29\00:13:47.09
AND THESE THINGS ARE
JUST - THEY'RE NOT HEALTHY.
00:13:47.12\00:13:51.93
SHRIMP - WHEN THEY
SERVE SHRIMP, THEY SERVE IT
00:13:51.96\00:13:53.80
COMPLETE WITH THE
INTESTINES - ARE STILL -
00:13:53.83\00:13:56.73
THE DIGESTIVE
TRACK IS STILL IN THERE.
00:13:56.77\00:13:58.13
THAT'S NOT GOD'S - THAT
STUFF'S NOT GOOD FOR YOU.
00:13:58.17\00:14:00.50
THERE'S - DOWN IN THE
BOTTOM OF THE BAY WHERE
00:14:00.54\00:14:02.87
YOU GET THE OYSTERS AND
THE CLAMS ARE ALL THE TOXINS.
00:14:02.90\00:14:05.34
THEY'RE - THESE ANIMALS
ARE MADE BY GOD TO FILTER
00:14:05.37\00:14:07.44
AND HELP CLEAN THE ENVIRONMENT.
00:14:07.48\00:14:08.98
SAME THING WITH CERTAIN
BIRDS THAT ARE CONSIDERED
00:14:09.01\00:14:11.98
UNCLEAN. WHICH
BIRDS ARE UNCLEAN?
00:14:12.01\00:14:15.25
IN LEVITICUS 11, VERSES
15 AND 16, IT SAYS, "EVERY
00:14:15.28\00:14:20.66
RAVEN AFTER ITS
KIND, AND THE OWL, AND THE
00:14:20.69\00:14:26.70
NIGHTHAWK, AND
THE CUCKOW...AFTER ITS
00:14:26.73\00:14:30.23
KIND," - THE RAPTORS AND
THE CARNIVOROUS BIRDS WERE
00:14:30.27\00:14:33.70
CONSIDERED UNCLEAN.
THE CLEAN BIRDS - THERE'S
00:14:33.74\00:14:36.77
NOT A RULE LIKE FINS
AND SCALES - BUT THE CLEAN
00:14:36.81\00:14:40.04
BIRDS WERE THE
FORAGING BIRDS - TURKEY, THE
00:14:40.08\00:14:43.45
CHICKENS, PHEASANT, SO
FORTH - THEY WOULD BE CLEAN.
00:14:43.48\00:14:46.41
ARE THE LAWS ABOUT
CLEAN AND UNCLEAN ANIMALS PART
00:14:46.45\00:14:48.98
OF MOSES' CEREMONIAL LAW
WHICH ENDED AT THE CROSS?
00:14:49.02\00:14:53.29
THIS IS WHAT SOME PEOPLE THINK.
00:14:53.32\00:14:54.92
GENESIS 7, VERSES 1 AND
2 - SOME PEOPLE SAY, 'OH,
00:14:54.96\00:14:59.23
THOSE ARE LAWS JUST
FOR THE JEWS' - THOSE CLEAN
00:14:59.26\00:15:02.43
AND UNCLEAN
LAWS. WAS NOAH JEWISH?
00:15:02.46\00:15:06.67
LET'S READ THIS TOGETHER:
"...COME THOU AND ALL THY
00:15:06.70\00:15:10.24
HOUSE INTO THE
ARK...OF EVERY CLEAN BEAST THOU
00:15:10.27\00:15:15.48
SHALL TAKE TO THEE BY SEVENS."
00:15:15.51\00:15:18.15
SO DOES GOD MAKE A
DISTINCTION BETWEEN CLEAN
00:15:18.18\00:15:20.48
AND UNCLEAN ANIMALS EVEN
BEFORE THERE WERE ANY JEWS?
00:15:20.52\00:15:25.29
QUIZ: HOW MANY OF
YOU ARE RELATED TO NOAH?
00:15:25.32\00:15:29.82
>>ALL OF US. >>THAT'S RIGHT!
00:15:29.86\00:15:32.26
EVERYBODY HERE - AND SO IF
GOD MADE IT - THIS IS A TEST.
00:15:32.29\00:15:36.10
I DON'T KNOW IF ANY OF
YOU MANAGED - YOUR ANCESTORS
00:15:36.13\00:15:37.77
SURVIVED THE FLOOD,
BESIDES NOAH - EVERYBODY
00:15:37.80\00:15:40.94
HERE IS RELATED TO
NOAH. GOD MADE A DISTINCTION -
00:15:40.97\00:15:43.51
THESE ARE THINGS THAT
WERE FOR MANKIND - YOU CAN SEE
00:15:43.54\00:15:45.64
IT GOING ALL THE
WAY BACK TO GENESIS.
00:15:45.67\00:15:47.51
SHOULD A CHRISTIAN,
BIBLICALLY, USE ALCOHOLIC
00:15:47.54\00:15:50.65
BEVERAGES? SOME
CHURCHES WOULD SAY,
00:15:50.68\00:15:53.35
'SURE, WHAT'S WRONG
WITH THAT? JESUS DRANK WINE.'
00:15:53.38\00:15:55.32
IT WAS NOT
ALCOHOLIC, IT WAS GRAPE JUICE.
00:15:55.35\00:15:58.55
THE BIBLE SAYS - PROVERBS
21 - AND THE BIBLE DOESN'T
00:15:58.59\00:16:00.96
CONTRADICT ITSELF -
"WINE IS A MOCKER, STRONG DRINK
00:16:00.99\00:16:06.06
IS RAGING" - IT'S TALKING
ABOUT FERMENTED WINE HERE
00:16:06.09\00:16:09.10
- "AND WHOEVER IS
DECEIVED THEREBY IS NOT WISE."
00:16:09.13\00:16:12.77
THE BIBLE SAYS 'GIVE
WINE TO HIM THAT IS READY TO
00:16:12.80\00:16:15.44
PERISH.' THE BIBLE
TELLS US THAT NOAH DRANK WINE
00:16:15.47\00:16:19.14
AND HE STUMBLED
AROUND NAKED AND SOMETHING
00:16:19.17\00:16:21.58
EMBARRASSING HAPPENED.
LOT'S DAUGHTERS GAVE THEIR
00:16:21.61\00:16:25.11
FATHER WINE AND HE
SLEPT WITH HIS DAUGHTERS.
00:16:25.15\00:16:28.98
GOOD THINGS DO NOT HAPPEN
WHEN PEOPLE DRINK ALCOHOL.
00:16:29.02\00:16:32.45
CHRISTIANS SHOULD
NOT UNDERWRITE THAT.
00:16:32.49\00:16:34.46
AND YOU MIGHT BE SAYING,
'PASTOR DOUG, I JUST HAVE,
00:16:34.49\00:16:35.89
YOU KNOW, A LITTLE
BIT OF WINE ONCE A WEEK.
00:16:35.92\00:16:38.73
JUST A LITTLE - I HAVE
NO PROBLEM - I DON'T HAVE
00:16:38.76\00:16:40.40
A DRINKING PROBLEM.'
THAT MAY BE, BUT ARE YOU AWARE
00:16:40.43\00:16:44.13
THAT ONE OUT OF SEVEN PEOPLE
DOES HAVE A DRINKING PROBLEM?
00:16:44.17\00:16:46.77
ALCOHOL IS
ADDICTIVE. DO WE ALL KNOW THAT?
00:16:46.80\00:16:50.54
SOME PEOPLE - IT
JUST WRECKS THEIR LIVES.
00:16:50.57\00:16:52.67
IT WRECKS THEIR MARRIAGES.
00:16:52.71\00:16:54.11
IT WRECKS THEIR
CAREERS. IT WRECKS THEIR HEALTH.
00:16:54.14\00:16:57.08
THERE WILL BE PEOPLE
IN HEAVEN THAT SMOKED.
00:16:57.11\00:17:00.62
I WANT TO MAKE IT
CLEAR. THERE ARE GOING TO BE
00:17:00.65\00:17:02.12
PEOPLE THAT DRANK ALCOHOL
- MARTIN LUTHER DRANK BEER.
00:17:02.15\00:17:04.52
I DON'T THINK THEY
UNDERSTOOD BACK THEN WHAT
00:17:04.55\00:17:06.39
WE UNDERSTAND. THE
MAN WHO WROTE AMAZING
00:17:06.42\00:17:08.09
GRACE, JOHN NEWTON, HE SMOKED.
DO YOU KNOW, BACK WHEN HE
00:17:08.12\00:17:11.56
SMOKED, DOCTORS ACTUALLY
PRESCRIBED TOBACCO FOR ASTHMA.
00:17:11.59\00:17:15.93
CAN YOU IMAGINE THAT?
HOW MANY OF YOU KNEW THAT?
00:17:15.96\00:17:19.13
YEAH, BUT WE KNOW BETTER NOW.
00:17:19.17\00:17:23.47
CIGARETTES ARE THE NUMBER
TWO LEADING CAUSE OF DEATH
00:17:23.51\00:17:27.48
- PREVENTABLE CAUSE OF
DEATH - IN NORTH AMERICA -
00:17:27.51\00:17:30.11
TOBACCO. IT MAKES
YOU PREMATURELY AGE.
00:17:30.15\00:17:33.31
IT'LL MAKE YOUR
VOICE RASPY AND MAKES YOUR
00:17:33.35\00:17:36.92
CLOTHES SMELL
FUNNY. TOBACCO - THERE'S
00:17:36.95\00:17:40.09
NOTHING GOOD ABOUT
IT. THERE'S NO NUTRITIONAL
00:17:40.12\00:17:41.76
VALUE AND IT COSTS A FORTUNE.
00:17:41.79\00:17:43.89
WHEN I WAS A KID IT WAS
TWENTY-FIVE CENTS A PACK.
00:17:43.93\00:17:46.36
MAN, I CAN'T BELIEVE
WHAT PEOPLE PAY FOR A PACK OF
00:17:46.39\00:17:48.20
CIGARETTES NOW. YOU
CAN BUY A NEW CAR AFTER
00:17:48.23\00:17:50.83
QUITTING FOR A COUPLE OF
YEARS. (LAUGHTER) ARE THE BIBLE
00:17:50.87\00:17:54.24
HEALTH PRINCIPLES
STILL PRACTICAL TODAY?
00:17:54.27\00:17:57.14
NOW WE'RE GOING TO GO
THROUGH A LIST OF SEVERAL
00:17:57.17\00:17:58.47
BIBLE PRINCIPLES AND
THESE ARE HEALTH PRINCIPLES AND
00:17:58.51\00:18:02.41
YOU ARE GOING TO BE
SURPRISED HOW MUCH OF THE
00:18:02.44\00:18:04.08
WORLD, NOW, IS
REALIZING THESE ARE BASIC HEALTH
00:18:04.11\00:18:06.68
LAWS - THEY'RE ALL IN THE BIBLE.
00:18:06.72\00:18:09.38
FIRST OF ALL,
QUARANTINE PROCEDURES CONTROL
00:18:09.42\00:18:12.89
CONTAGIOUS
DISEASE. WITH THIS EBOLA
00:18:12.92\00:18:17.06
DISCUSSION, WHAT
ARE THEY TALKING ABOUT?
00:18:17.09\00:18:19.66
LOOK AT THE INCREDIBLE
LENGTHS THEY'RE GOING TO
00:18:19.69\00:18:22.60
TO MAINTAIN A STERILE
ENVIRONMENT AND QUARANTINE
00:18:22.63\00:18:25.00
PROCEDURES. IN THE
BIBLE, GOD GAVE THAT.
00:18:25.03\00:18:28.00
HE SAID IF SOMEONE
IS UNCLEAN, THEY NEED TO
00:18:28.04\00:18:29.67
WASH, THEY NEED TO STAY
OUTSIDE THE CAMP, THEY'RE
00:18:29.70\00:18:31.04
CONTAGIOUS - THERE'S ALL
KINDS OF LAWS ABOUT CONTAGION.
00:18:31.07\00:18:34.18
THEY UNDERSTOOD
THIS IN THE BIBLE.
00:18:34.21\00:18:36.34
NUMBER TWO - BASIC
THING, AGAIN, CONNECTED WITH
00:18:36.38\00:18:38.98
EBOLA - IF THESE
THINGS WERE BEING PRACTICED IN
00:18:39.01\00:18:41.95
SOME OF THE COUNTRIES -
IT SAYS HUMAN BODY WASTE
00:18:41.98\00:18:45.55
SHOULD BE BURIED.
NOW, I KNOW, IT MAY NOT BE
00:18:45.59\00:18:49.46
PLEASANT TO THINK
ABOUT THAT, BUT IF YOU'VE
00:18:49.49\00:18:51.29
TRAVELED - MANY PARTS
OF THE WORLD I GO TO, EVEN
00:18:51.33\00:18:54.63
IN BIG CITIES, THEY
STILL DON'T HAVE REGULAR
00:18:54.66\00:18:57.37
SANITATION AND - I
KNOW, IT WOULD SHOCK YOU.
00:18:57.40\00:19:01.50
AND I WON'T NAME THOSE
COUNTRIES BECAUSE I DON'T
00:19:01.54\00:19:03.10
WANT TO OFFEND ANYBODY
NOW, BUT WAY BACK IN THE
00:19:03.14\00:19:05.41
BIBLE, EVEN GOING THROUGH
THE DESERT, GOD GAVE THEM
00:19:05.44\00:19:07.34
CERTAIN RULES ABOUT
THAT. C - WASHING - REGULAR
00:19:07.38\00:19:12.21
WASHING OF THE BODY AND
CLOTHING CONTROLS GERMS.
00:19:12.25\00:19:15.58
YOU KNOW, THAT'S IN THE BIBLE?
00:19:15.62\00:19:17.35
THEY HAD TO REGULARLY WASH.
00:19:17.39\00:19:18.82
EVEN AS THEY WENT THROUGH
THE WILDERNESS, GOD ALWAYS
00:19:18.85\00:19:20.76
MADE SURE THEY
HAD A WATER SUPPLY.
00:19:20.79\00:19:23.19
MOSES WOULD STRIKE THE
ROCK AND WATER WOULD RUN
00:19:23.22\00:19:25.46
OUT AND THIS RIVER
SEEMED TO BE REPRODUCED AND
00:19:25.49\00:19:27.76
FOLLOWED THEM WHEREVER
THEY WENT IN THEIR JOURNEYS
00:19:27.83\00:19:29.33
SO THEY COULD NOT ONLY
DRINK, BUT SO THEY COULD WASH.
00:19:29.36\00:19:33.34
AND FREQUENTLY IT
TALKED ABOUT WASHING.
00:19:33.37\00:19:35.30
THE BIBLE TELLS US THAT
A LOT OF DISEASE COULD ALSO
00:19:35.34\00:19:37.97
BE PREVENTED, AS WE
KNOW TODAY, BY MORAL LIVING.
00:19:38.01\00:19:42.38
IT PREVENTS SEXUAL DISEASES.
LEVITICUS 18; PROVERBS 5,
00:19:42.41\00:19:47.22
VERSES 1 THROUGH 12
AND MANY OTHER VERSES.
00:19:47.25\00:19:49.85
THERE ARE A NUMBER
OF SEXUALLY TRANSMITTED
00:19:49.88\00:19:52.29
DISEASES AND SOME
PEOPLE HAVE RECEIVED FATAL
00:19:52.32\00:19:56.02
INFECTIONS BECAUSE
OF IMMORAL LIFESTYLE.
00:19:56.06\00:19:59.96
ANSWER E - ANOTHER
BIBLE PRINCIPLE ABOUT HEALTH -
00:20:00.00\00:20:03.16
ANIMAL FAT SHOULD NOT BE
EATEN - NOT ONLY FAT, BUT BLOOD.
00:20:03.20\00:20:08.44
YOU KNOW, DISEASE CAN BE
00:20:08.47\00:20:10.04
TRANSFERRED FROM
ANIMAL TO ANIMAL.
00:20:10.07\00:20:11.91
YOU DON'T CATCH A
DISEASE FROM A PLANT. -
00:20:11.94\00:20:13.58
YOU MIGHT GET POISON IVY -
BUT DISEASE CAN BE TRANSFERRED
00:20:13.61\00:20:16.34
FROM ANIMAL TO ANIMAL AND HE
SAYS WE SHOULD NOT EAT BLOOD.
00:20:16.38\00:20:20.82
BY THE WAY, NEW
TESTAMENT/OLD TESTAMENT,
00:20:20.85\00:20:22.88
BOTH SAY BLOOD IS FORBIDDEN.
00:20:22.92\00:20:24.59
ACTS 15 - READ IT
YOURSELF - NO QUESTION ABOUT IT.
00:20:24.62\00:20:27.56
SOME PEOPLE SAY, 'THESE
ARE OLD TESTAMENT LAWS.'
00:20:27.59\00:20:29.39
IT'S REPEATED IN
THE NEW TESTAMENT.
00:20:29.42\00:20:31.26
F - ANOTHER PRINCIPLE -
HATRED AND BITTERNESS IS
00:20:31.29\00:20:34.83
DETRIMENTAL TO ONE'S HEALTH.
00:20:34.86\00:20:36.83
SOME PEOPLE ARE SICK,
NOT JUST BECAUSE OF WHAT
00:20:36.87\00:20:38.67
THEY'RE EATING, BUT
BECAUSE OF WHAT'S EATING THEM.
00:20:38.70\00:20:41.74
AND HAVING ANGER AND
BITTERNESS IN YOUR HEART -
00:20:41.77\00:20:45.61
STRESS - IT REALLY
DOES CAUSE HEALTH PROBLEMS.
00:20:45.64\00:20:49.18
G - PROVERBS TALKS ABOUT
OVEREATING IS BAD FOR YOUR
00:20:49.21\00:20:52.58
HEALTH.
(LAUGHTER) IT'S ONE THING
00:20:52.61\00:20:54.65
TO EAT HONEY, IT
SAYS DON'T EAT TOO MUCH.
00:20:54.68\00:20:57.55
AND YOU CAN EVEN EAT
TOO MUCH OF GOOD THINGS.
00:20:57.59\00:21:00.62
AND SUMO WRESTLERS
USUALLY DON'T DIE OF OLD AGE
00:21:00.66\00:21:05.19
BECAUSE IT'S JUST,
OBVIOUSLY, NOT GOOD.
00:21:05.23\00:21:08.96
H - OUR BODIES NEED PROPER REST.
00:21:09.00\00:21:12.10
PSALMS 127, VERSE 2 AND
MARK 6:31 - THE SABBATH IS
00:21:12.13\00:21:17.01
ALL ABOUT THAT -
GETTING PLENTY OF SLEEP.
00:21:17.04\00:21:20.18
ANSWER I - THE
IMPORTANCE OF WORK.
00:21:20.21\00:21:24.65
NOT ONLY DOES IT SAY
REST THE SEVENTH DAY, IT SAYS
00:21:24.68\00:21:26.51
SIX DAYS THOU SHALT WHAT?
WORK. ANSWER J - A POSITIVE
00:21:26.55\00:21:32.09
ATTITUDE IS GOOD MEDICINE.
THE LORD WANTS US TO HAVE
00:21:32.12\00:21:35.92
GOOD ATTI - A HAPPY
HEART IS GOOD LIKE A MEDICINE.
00:21:35.96\00:21:38.39
AND EVEN WHEN I TEACH
SOME OF THESE DIFFICULT TRUTHS,
00:21:38.43\00:21:40.86
YOU KNOW, I THINK WE
SOMETIMES NEED TO BE ABLE
00:21:40.90\00:21:42.76
TO SMILE BECAUSE
LIFE IS TOUGH ENOUGH.
00:21:42.80\00:21:46.20
IS GOD CONCERNED
WITH OUR PHYSICAL HEALTH?
00:21:46.23\00:21:49.24
'I THINK GOD'S ONLY
CONCERNED WITH SPIRITUAL
00:21:49.27\00:21:50.64
THINGS.' IS THAT
WHAT THE BIBLE TEACHES?
00:21:50.67\00:21:53.04
MATTHEW 4:23, "AND
JESUS WENT ABOUT ALL GALILEE,
00:21:53.07\00:21:58.15
TEACHING IN THEIR
SYNAGOGUES, AND PREACHING
00:21:58.18\00:22:00.52
THE GOSPEL OF THE
KINGDOM, AND" - DOING WHAT?
00:22:00.55\00:22:03.45
>>HEALING.
>>"HEALING ALL MANNER OF
00:22:03.49\00:22:05.49
SICKNESS AND ALL MANNER
OF DISEASE AMONG THE PEOPLE."
00:22:05.52\00:22:09.66
DOES THE LORD
CARE ABOUT OUR HEALTH?
00:22:09.69\00:22:12.19
>>YES. >>YES. AND
HE, MANY TIMES, WILL
00:22:12.23\00:22:14.73
MIRACULOUSLY HEAL
PEOPLE. SOMETIMES SICKNESS COMES
00:22:14.76\00:22:17.97
JUST BECAUSE OF GENETICS,
SOMETIMES SICKNESS COMES
00:22:18.00\00:22:20.07
BECAUSE YOU'RE EXPOSED
TO SOMEONE ELSE WHO IS SICK,
00:22:20.10\00:22:22.54
THERE MIGHT BE SOME
ENVIRONMENTAL PROBLEM BUT,
00:22:22.57\00:22:24.71
YOU KNOW, THE MAJORITY OF
SICKNESS IN OUR COUNTRY IS
00:22:24.74\00:22:28.21
SELF-INDUCED
BECAUSE OF LIFESTYLE.
00:22:28.24\00:22:32.08
YOU KNOW WHY THERE'S A
HEALTH-CARE CRISIS AND THE
00:22:32.11\00:22:35.15
MEDICAL INSTITUTIONS ARE
BANKRUPT AND SO EXPENSIVE?
00:22:35.18\00:22:38.92
BECAUSE OF OUR
LIFESTYLES, IN PARTICULAR IN THE
00:22:38.95\00:22:41.29
WESTERN CULTURES, BECAUSE
THE RICH LIFE, THE LACK OF
00:22:41.32\00:22:44.49
EXERCISE, AND THE
ABUNDANCE, PEOPLE ARE
00:22:44.53\00:22:46.80
BRINGING ON DISEASES
EARLY IN LIFE AND THEN THEY ARE
00:22:46.83\00:22:49.53
STRUGGLING WITH THESE
DISEASES FOR MANY YEARS
00:22:49.56\00:22:51.93
AND IT'S CAUSING
CATASTROPHIC EXPENSES.
00:22:51.97\00:22:55.57
WE'D BE ABLE TO PUT A
LOT OF HOSPITALS OUT OF
00:22:55.60\00:22:57.34
BUSINESS IF WE'D
JUST FOLLOW THE BIBLE.
00:22:57.37\00:23:00.04
3 JOHN 2, "BELOVED, I
WISH ABOVE ALL THINGS" - GOD
00:23:00.08\00:23:04.91
SAYS, 'ABOVE ALL THINGS.'
- "THAT YOU MAY" - WHAT?
00:23:04.95\00:23:08.38
- "PROSPER AND BE IN
HEALTH," - HOW? "JUST AS YOUR
00:23:08.42\00:23:12.82
SOUL PROSPERS."
SO WHAT KIND OF LEVEL
00:23:12.85\00:23:15.32
DOES HE PUT IT ON? 'I
WANT HEALTH - PHYSICAL
00:23:15.36\00:23:17.66
PROSPERITY - AND I
WANT SPIRITUAL PROSPERITY.
00:23:17.69\00:23:20.00
NOW, IF YOU CAN ONLY
PICK ONE, PICK THE SPIRITUAL
00:23:20.03\00:23:22.70
BECAUSE WHAT PROFIT IS IT
IF YOU HAVE PERFECT HEALTH
00:23:22.73\00:23:24.60
AND YOU'RE A TERRIBLE SINNER?
00:23:24.63\00:23:26.13
IT'S NOT GOING TO
SAVE YOU FOR ETERNITY.
00:23:26.17\00:23:27.77
BUT GOD SAYS, 'YOU KNOW,
WHEN YOU'VE TAKEN CARE OF
00:23:27.80\00:23:29.60
THE SPIRIT, MAKE SURE
AND TAKE CARE OF THE BODY
00:23:29.64\00:23:31.61
BECAUSE HAVING YOUR
MIND CLEAR AND YOUR BODY
00:23:31.64\00:23:34.91
HEALTHY MAKES IT
EASIER TO SERVE GOD -
00:23:34.94\00:23:37.55
TO RESIST THE
DEVIL AND DO GOD'S WILL.
00:23:37.58\00:23:39.85
ANOTHER ONE - JOHN 10:10
- IT SAYS, "...I HAVE COME
00:23:39.88\00:23:44.05
THAT THEY MAY HAVE
LIFE, AND" - AND WHAT KIND OF
00:23:44.09\00:23:46.15
LIFE DOES HE WANT US TO
HAVE? - "...MORE ABUNDANTLY."
00:23:46.19\00:23:49.52
YOU SEE THE
FELLOW IN THAT PICTURE?
00:23:49.56\00:23:51.23
HIS NAME WAS BANANA GEORGE.
00:23:51.26\00:23:53.06
HE IS SKIING
BAREFOOT - I'VE DONE THAT.
00:23:53.09\00:23:56.03
THAT IS VERY, VERY HARD
FOR A YOUNG MAN TO DO - HE
00:23:56.06\00:23:59.23
IS, I THINK, 80
YEARS OLD IN THIS PICTURE.
00:23:59.27\00:24:01.40
HE CONTINUED SKIING
UNTIL 92 - DIDN'T EVEN START
00:24:01.44\00:24:04.41
SKIING UNTIL HE WAS IN
HIS FORTIES - HE LOVED BANANAS
00:24:04.44\00:24:07.71
AND THAT'S WHY HE
ALWAYS WORE YELLOW.
00:24:07.74\00:24:09.14
HE PASSED AWAY WAY UP
IN HIS 90S IN 2013, BUT I
00:24:09.18\00:24:13.18
ALWAYS WAS
FASCINATED BY THAT PICTURE.
00:24:13.21\00:24:14.98
HERE'S A PICTURE
SOMEONE JUST GAVE ME THIS YEAR.
00:24:15.02\00:24:17.55
THIS IS SOMEONE - KAREN
AND I WERE PASTORS OF THIS
00:24:17.59\00:24:20.69
CHURCH IN NORTHERN
CALIFORNIA AND ONE SISTER,
00:24:20.72\00:24:23.12
LAST TIME WE
SAW HER SHE WAS 106.
00:24:23.16\00:24:25.66
AT THE TIME OF THIS
ARTICLE - SHE PASSED AWAY
00:24:25.69\00:24:27.76
SINCE - SHE WAS 111
THEN. AND I REMEMBER I SAT WITH
00:24:27.83\00:24:31.70
HER AND HER BROTHER-IN-LAW
AND HIS WIFE - HER NAME
00:24:31.73\00:24:35.80
WAS VIOLA COOK - IN THEIR
HOME AND I WOULD EAT WITH THEM.
00:24:35.84\00:24:38.17
THEY HAD DELICIOUS VEGETARIAN
FOOD - SHE WAS A VEGETARIAN
00:24:38.21\00:24:40.18
HER WHOLE LIFE.
AND I REMEMBER HER
00:24:40.21\00:24:42.24
BROTHER-IN-LAW - I USED
TO SAY, 'ART, HOW DO YOU GUYS
00:24:42.28\00:24:45.75
HAVE SUCH GREAT
HEALTH AND STRENGTH?'
00:24:45.78\00:24:47.45
HERE I WAS A YOUNG
WHIPPERSNAPPER - I'D TRY
00:24:47.48\00:24:48.82
AND DO WORK FOR THEM - I
COULDN'T KEEP UP WITH THEM.
00:24:48.85\00:24:50.79
AND I NOTICED HE
PUSHED AWAY FROM THE TABLE.
00:24:50.82\00:24:52.82
I SAID, 'YOU'RE DONE EATING?'
00:24:52.85\00:24:54.19
HE SAID, 'HERE'S THE
SECRET TO LIFE, DOUG.
00:24:54.22\00:24:56.89
STOP EATING WHILE
YOU'RE STILL A LITTLE HUNGRY.
00:24:56.93\00:24:59.43
WAKE UP WHEN YOU'RE
STILL A LITTLE TIRED.
00:24:59.46\00:25:02.40
AND STOP TALKING WHEN
YOU STILL HAVE SOMETHING LEFT
00:25:02.43\00:25:04.23
TO SAY. (LAUGHTER) SO THAT'S
THE SECRET TO HAPPINESS IN LIFE.
00:25:04.27\00:25:09.64
WHY IS OUR HEALTH
SO IMPORTANT TO GOD?
00:25:09.67\00:25:12.54
1 CORINTHIANS 6:19,
"...YOUR BODY" - AND VERSE
00:25:12.57\00:25:17.15
20 - "IS THE" -
WHAT? >>THE TEMPLE.
00:25:17.18\00:25:19.58
>>"THE TEMPLE OF THE HOLY
SPIRIT...THEREFORE GLORIFY
00:25:19.61\00:25:23.99
GOD IN YOUR BODY AND IN
YOUR SPIRIT, WHICH ARE GOD'S."
00:25:24.02\00:25:28.36
AGAIN, ROMANS 12:1,
"...PRESENT YOUR BODY A
00:25:28.39\00:25:32.23
LIVING SACRIFICE" -
HOW? - "HOLY AND ACCEPTABLE
00:25:32.26\00:25:36.36
TO GOD, WHICH IS
YOUR REASONABLE SERVICE."
00:25:36.40\00:25:39.77
GOD SAYS, 'LOOK,
YOU'VE BEEN - YOU'RE MADE IN
00:25:39.80\00:25:41.94
GOD'S IMAGE, YOU BELONG
TO GOD, YOU ARE TO PRESENT,
00:25:41.97\00:25:46.11
NOT JUST YOUR SPIRIT,
BUT PRESENT YOUR BODY - YOU
00:25:46.14\00:25:49.38
KNOW, WE WORSHIP GOD,
NOT JUST WITH OUR MINDS, WE
00:25:49.41\00:25:51.95
WORSHIP GOD WITH OUR
LIVES AND WHETHER YOU EAT OR
00:25:51.98\00:25:55.62
DRINK, WHATEVER YOU DO,
DO ALL TO THE GLORY OF GOD.

WHEN SUSAN'S AND

00:26:40.60\00:26:43.03
LED TO A WEDDING,
00:26:43.06\00:26:44.57
THEY HAD NO IDEA HOW
HARD MARRIED LIFE COULD BE.
00:26:44.60\00:26:47.77
BEFORE THEY KNEW IT
THEY WERE ON THE STORMY PATH
00:26:47.80\00:26:50.27
TOWARDS DIVORCE, BUT
THAT'S WHEN GOD LED THEM
00:26:50.31\00:26:53.64
