MALE ANNOUNCER: THIS
PRESENTATION IS BROUGHT TO YOU
00:00:02.36\00:00:03.97
BY THE FRIENDS OF THE
AMAZING FACTS MINISTRY.
00:00:04.10\00:00:06.53
DOUG BATCHELOR: IN JANUARY 2010,
A MINIVAN STRUCK AND KILLED A
00:00:09.60\00:00:13.61
MAN CROSSING A BROOKLYN STREET
- ESPECIALLY TRAGIC BECAUSE THIS
00:00:13.64\00:00:17.81
WAS NO ORDINARY MAN.
JOE ROLLINO WOULD HAVE BEEN
00:00:17.85\00:00:21.35
105 YEARS OLD IN
MARCH. HIS FRIENDS SAID HE WAS
00:00:21.38\00:00:24.72
THE MODEL OF HEALTH. A
WORLD WAR II VET WITH THREE
00:00:24.75\00:00:28.16
PURPLE HEARTS, ROLLINO GOT HIS
START IN THE 1920S AT THE CONEY
00:00:28.19\00:00:31.86
ISLAND CARNIVAL, BILLED AS 'THE
STRONGEST MAN IN THE WORLD'.
00:00:31.89\00:00:36.30
FIVE-FEET FIVE-INCHES TALL
AND WEIGHING 150 POUNDS, FOR HIS
00:00:36.33\00:00:40.64
SIZE HE WAS ONE OF
THE STRONGEST MEN EVER.
00:00:40.67\00:00:44.14
HE COULD MOVE 3200 POUNDS WITH
HIS BACK, LIFT 475 POUNDS WITH
00:00:44.17\00:00:49.28
HIS TEETH, AND 635 POUNDS
HE COULD LIFT WITH ONE FINGER.
00:00:49.31\00:00:55.12
AT JOE ROLLINO'S 103RD BIRTHDAY
PARTY, A FRIEND GAVE HIM A
00:00:55.15\00:00:58.19
QUARTER AND ROLLINO
BENT IT WITH HIS FINGERS.
00:00:58.22\00:01:01.62
HE THEN APOLOGIZED BECAUSE
HE USED TO DO IT WITH A DIME.
00:01:01.66\00:01:05.33
DID I MENTION THAT JOE ROLLINO
DIDN'T DRINK OR SMOKE, HE
00:01:05.36\00:01:08.63
EXERCISED DAILY, AND HE
WAS A LIFE-LONG VEGETARIAN?
00:01:08.66\00:01:12.57
YOU KNOW, THE BIBLE ALSO MAKES A
CONNECTION BETWEEN A VERY STRONG
00:01:12.60\00:01:15.87
MAN AND A UNIQUE LIFESTYLE.
THE BIBLE SAYS SAMSON DID NOT
00:01:15.90\00:01:20.01
DRINK AND HE STAYED
AWAY FROM UNCLEAN FOODS.
00:01:20.04\00:01:23.31
WOULD YOU LIKE TO
LIVE TO A HEALTHY 100?
00:01:23.35\00:01:25.91
ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE WHEN
WE FOLLOW GOD'S HEALTH PLAN.
00:01:25.95\00:01:29.48
SO JOIN ME NOW, AS WE
TAKE A DEEPER LOOK INTO THIS
00:01:29.52\00:01:32.25
LIFE-CHANGING SUBJECT.
00:01:32.29\00:01:34.52
DOUG: TONIGHT I'M
GOING TO BE SHARING A TOPIC
00:01:38.39\00:01:41.70
THAT I THINK THE
CHRISTIAN WORLD IS LONG OVERDUE
00:01:41.73\00:01:47.94
TO UNDERSTAND THIS ISSUE
AND PEOPLE HAVE SUFFERED GREATLY
00:01:47.97\00:01:52.14
BECAUSE THEY DO NOT UNDERSTAND
THIS PRINCIPLE FROM THE BIBLE
00:01:52.17\00:01:55.54
THAT IS VERY PRACTICAL.
NOW, OUR MESSAGE TONIGHT IS
00:01:55.58\00:02:00.68
DEALING WITH THE SUBJECT OF
HEALING, HEALTH AND HOLINESS.
00:02:00.72\00:02:05.15
IT BEGINS WITH A STORY THAT YOU
FIND IN A BOOK OF PROPHECY AND
00:02:05.19\00:02:09.62
IT'S IN DANIEL CHAPTER
1. IT TELLS THAT AFTER KING
00:02:09.66\00:02:12.86
NEBUCHADNEZZAR HAD CONQUERED
BABYLON, HE TOOK SOME OF THE -
00:02:12.89\00:02:17.33
THE BRIGHTEST AND THE BEST OF
THE NATION AND HE BROUGHT THEM
00:02:17.37\00:02:20.00
WITH HIM BACK TO BABYLON AND
HE SAID, 'LOOK, WE'RE GOING TO
00:02:20.04\00:02:23.17
TRAIN YOU IN THE
LANGUAGE OF THE CHALDEANS.
00:02:23.20\00:02:25.47
WE'RE GOING TO FEED YOU FROM OUR
CAFETERIA FOR THREE YEARS AND
00:02:25.51\00:02:28.78
WE'RE GOING TO PREPARE TO YOU TO
BE AMBASSADORS REPRESENTING YOUR
00:02:28.81\00:02:31.75
PART OF THE WORLD AND GO TO THE
UNIVERSITY OF BABYLON.' AND YOU
00:02:31.78\00:02:37.32
THINK, 'WELL, THAT
WILL BE REALLY GOOD.
00:02:37.35\00:02:38.65
YOU'D BE EATING FROM
THE BABYLONIAN CAFETERIA.'
00:02:38.69\00:02:41.42
BUT THERE'S A PROBLEM WITH THAT.
BABYLONIANS ATE THINGS THAT GOD
00:02:41.46\00:02:47.10
HAD TOLD HIS PEOPLE
THEY'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO EAT.
00:02:47.13\00:02:49.83
SO DANIEL AND HIS THREE FRIENDS
THAT HAD BEEN CARRIED OFF TO
00:02:49.86\00:02:52.43
BABYLON: SHADRACH, MESHACH,
ABEDNEGO - THEIR HEBREW NAMES
00:02:52.47\00:02:56.94
WERE HANANIAH, MISHAEL, AZARIAH
- THEY SAID, 'WE CAN'T EAT THAT.
00:02:56.97\00:03:00.78
PLEASE LET US EAT PULSE' - OR
VEGETABLES - 'AND JUST GIVE US A
00:03:00.81\00:03:05.95
CHANCE.' AND THE MAN WHO WAS IN
CHARGE OF THE EUNUCHS, HE SAID,
00:03:05.98\00:03:08.98
'I CAN'T DO THAT BECAUSE IF YOU
START LOOKING SCRAWNY AND SICK,
00:03:09.02\00:03:12.32
I'M RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR HEALTH
AND EDUCATION - MY HEAD'LL BE ON
00:03:12.35\00:03:15.82
THE BLOCK.' THEY SAID, 'YOU GIVE
US TEN DAYS.' NOTICE IT SAYS IN
00:03:15.86\00:03:19.66
DANIEL 1, VERSE 8, "BUT DANIEL
PURPOSED IN HIS HEART THAT HE
00:03:19.69\00:03:22.96
WOULD NOT DEFILE"
- HE WOULD NOT WHAT?
00:03:23.00\00:03:25.37
CONGREGATION: DEFILE.
DOUG: "DEFILE HIMSELF WITH A
00:03:25.40\00:03:28.17
PORTION OF THE KING'S MEAT."
SO THEY PROPOSED, TO ASHPENAZ,
00:03:28.20\00:03:33.07
PRINCE OF THE EUNUCHS, "PROVE
YOUR SERVANTS" - 'TEST US' -
00:03:33.11\00:03:36.31
"FOR TEN DAYS, LET US HAVE PULSE
TO EAT AND WATER TO DRINK."
00:03:36.34\00:03:40.12
- 'WE'RE NOT GOING TO EAT
THE BABYLONIAN FOOD AND THE
00:03:40.15\00:03:41.88
FERMENTED WINE.' AND THE BIBLE
SAYS HE CONSENTED TO THAT - "AND
00:03:41.92\00:03:47.26
AT THE END OF THE TEN DAYS THEIR
COUNTENANCES APPEARED FAIRER AND
00:03:47.29\00:03:50.83
FATTER IN FLESH" - YOU KNOW,
THEY HAD JUST COME ACROSS THE
00:03:50.86\00:03:53.86
DESERT - AND "...HE FOUND THEM
TEN TIMES BETTER" - SMARTER -
00:03:53.90\00:03:58.30
"THAN ALL THE
MAGICIANS AND ASTROLOGERS WHO
00:03:58.33\00:04:01.60
WERE IN ALL HIS REALM."
00:04:01.64\00:04:03.17
AND THE FIRST CHAPTER OF DANIEL
00:04:03.20\00:04:05.11
CLOSES BY SAYING, "AND DANIEL
CONTINUED UNTIL THE TIME OF KING
00:04:05.14\00:04:08.71
CYRUS" - DANIEL LIVED TO
ABOUT A HUNDRED YEARS OF AGE.
00:04:08.74\00:04:12.51
HE MUST HAVE BEEN 15 TO
17 WHEN HE WAS CARRIED OFF.
00:04:12.55\00:04:16.52
SO, IT'S INTERESTING THAT,
AT THIS VERY IMPORTANT BOOK OF
00:04:16.55\00:04:21.16
PROPHECY IT WOULD MAKE A POINT
THAT DANIEL AND HIS FRIENDS HAD
00:04:21.19\00:04:25.59
PURPOSED THEY WOULD TAKE CARE OF
THEIR BODIES EVEN WHEN THEY WERE
00:04:25.63\00:04:29.20
TEMPTED BY THEIR SURROUNDINGS
AND EVEN THOUGH THERE WAS SOCIAL
00:04:29.23\00:04:32.27
PRESSURE TO COMPROMISE, THEY
SAID, 'NO, THIS IS WHAT GOD SAYS
00:04:32.30\00:04:34.94
ABOUT TREATING OUR BODIES AS THE
TEMPLE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT AND WE
00:04:34.97\00:04:38.84
WILL NOT DEFILE OUR BODIES.
THIS IS A TRUTH THAT HAS BEEN
00:04:38.87\00:04:43.55
LOST BY MUCH OF THE CHRISTIAN
CHURCH AND IT'S AN AREA WHERE
00:04:43.58\00:04:47.08
THERE NEEDS TO BE REVIVAL
AND REFORMATION, AND THAT'S
00:04:47.12\00:04:50.09
ALSO TRUE EVEN
WITHIN OUR DENOMINATION.
00:04:50.12\00:04:54.12
LET'S LOOK AT OUR
LESSON. IT'S GOING TO BRING
00:04:54.16\00:04:55.76
OUT A NUMBER OF POINTS.
FIRST QUESTION: WHAT WAS THE
00:04:55.79\00:04:58.89
ORIGINAL DIET THAT
GOD DESIGNED FOR HUMANS?
00:04:58.93\00:05:02.43
YOU READ IN GENESIS 1, VERSE 29,
"AND GOD SAID, 'BEHOLD, I HAVE
00:05:02.46\00:05:07.00
GIVEN YOU EVERY HERB BEARING
SEED AND IN EVERY TREE IN WHICH
00:05:07.04\00:05:12.41
IS THE FRUIT OF A TREE YIELDING
SEED; TO YOU IT SHALL BE FOR
00:05:12.44\00:05:15.74
MEAT." AND THE
WORD 'MEAT' THERE, IT'S
00:05:15.78\00:05:17.55
KING JAMES - IT
JUST MEANS 'FOR FOOD'.
00:05:17.58\00:05:19.25
AND SO, THE ORIGINAL DIET THAT
GOD GAVE TO MAN WAS A VEGETARIAN
00:05:19.28\00:05:25.19
DIET CONTAIN - IT WAS ACTUALLY
FRUITS, GRAINS, AND NUTS - BEANS
00:05:25.22\00:05:29.99
- BUT LATER GOD
EXPANDED THE DIET.
00:05:30.03\00:05:33.16
THAT'S THE NEXT QUESTION: AFTER
ADAM AND EVE SINNED, - WHEN THEY
00:05:33.19\00:05:36.40
WERE EVICTED FROM THE GARDEN OF
EDEN, THEY COULD NO LONGER EAT
00:05:36.43\00:05:38.60
FROM THE TREE OF LIFE.
GOD THEN SAID, 'ALRIGHT, I
00:05:38.63\00:05:41.24
WANT TO GIVE YOU
SOMETHING SUPPLEMENTAL.'
00:05:41.27\00:05:43.30
WHAT WAS ADDED TO
THEIR DIET AT THAT POINT?
00:05:43.34\00:05:46.74
GENESIS 3, VERSE 18
00:05:46.78\00:05:48.44
HE SAID, "YOU
SHALL EAT THE HERB OF THE
00:05:48.48\00:05:51.48
FIELD." - MEANING VEGETABLES.
NOW, I FIND SOMETIMES PEOPLE
00:05:51.51\00:05:56.32
DON'T KNOW THE DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN A FRUIT AND A VEGETABLE.
00:05:56.35\00:05:59.59
LET ME TEST YOU.
APPLE. CONGREGATION: FRUIT.
00:05:59.62\00:06:04.53
DOUG: FRUIT.
ORANGE? CONGREGATION: FRUIT.
00:06:04.56\00:06:06.39
DOUG: ZUCCHINI?
CONGREGATION: FRUIT. (LAUGHTER)
00:06:06.43\00:06:10.90
DOUG: SEE? FRUIT.
ONION? CONGREGATION: VEGETABLE.
00:06:10.93\00:06:17.07
DOUG: VEGETABLE.
BRUSSELS SPROUTS?
00:06:17.11\00:06:20.88
CONGREGATION: VEGETABLE.
00:06:20.91\00:06:22.21
DOUG: INEDIBLE. (LAUGHTER)
00:06:22.24\00:06:26.48
DOUG: IT'S REAL SIMPLE:
THAT ANYTHING THAT IS THE
00:06:26.51\00:06:29.02
PRODUCT OF THE
BLOSSOM IS THE FRUIT.
00:06:29.05\00:06:31.95
AND ANYTHING THAT'S ANY OTHER
PART OF THE PLANT, WHETHER IT'S
00:06:31.99\00:06:34.29
THE STALK OR THE LEAVES OR
THE BULBS, IT'S A VEGETABLE.
00:06:34.32\00:06:38.29
AND SO, AFTER ADAM AND EVE
AND, YOU KNOW, A LOT OF KIDS OUT
00:06:38.33\00:06:43.80
THERE ARE REALLY SORRY THAT
ADAM AND EVE SINNED BECAUSE THEY
00:06:43.83\00:06:46.13
DIDN'T WANT
VEGETABLES ADDED TO THEIR DIET.
00:06:46.17\00:06:48.87
BUT AFTER THEY SINNED AND THEY
WERE TOLD THEY COULD NO LONGER
00:06:48.90\00:06:51.07
STAY IN THE GARDEN, GOD SAID,
'YOU CAN ALSO EAT THE HERB OF
00:06:51.11\00:06:53.48
THE FIELD.' BUT THE ORIGINAL
DIET FOR MAN WAS A VEGETARIAN
00:06:53.51\00:06:56.31
DIET. AND - I'LL JUST TELL YOU
00:06:56.34\00:07:00.12
RIGHT NOW, I AM
BIASED. I'M A VEGETARIAN.
00:07:00.15\00:07:04.25
I ENCOURAGE
PEOPLE TO CONSIDER IT.
00:07:04.29\00:07:06.09
THE BIBLE DOES NOT
REQUIRE YOU TO BE A VEGETARIAN.
00:07:06.12\00:07:09.26
BUT ARE YOU AWARE THAT WE
WILL BE VEGETARIANS IN HEAVEN?
00:07:09.29\00:07:14.10
WHEN GOD ASKED ADAM TO NAME
THE ANIMALS, HE DID NOT LOOK AT
00:07:14.10\00:07:17.27
THE COW AND SAY, 'WHOPPER'.
(LAUGHTER) AND HE DID NOT
00:07:17.30\00:07:20.67
LOOK AT THE CHICKENS
AND SAY, 'MCNUGGETS'.
00:07:20.70\00:07:22.74
(LAUGHTER) YOU KNOW, HE WAS
SUPPOSED TO PROTECT THEM, HE
00:07:22.77\00:07:26.98
WASN'T SUPPOSED TO
THINK ABOUT EATING THEM.
00:07:27.01\00:07:29.08
AND IT WASN'T UNTIL AFTER SIN
AND ESPECIALLY AFTER THE FLOOD
00:07:29.11\00:07:32.58
THAT ANIMALS
BECAME A PART OF THE DIET.
00:07:32.61\00:07:34.62
WHAT MAMMALS DOES
GOD SAY WE COULD EAT?
00:07:34.65\00:07:37.19
NOW, I TOLD YOU I'M A
VEGETARIAN. I ENCOURAGE THAT.
00:07:37.22\00:07:40.99
BUT THE BIBLE DOES SAY YOU'RE
GOING TO EAT MEAT, BUT THEN IT
00:07:41.02\00:07:43.06
SAYS IF YOU'RE GOING TO EAT
MEAT THERE ARE SOME CRITERIA.
00:07:43.09\00:07:46.70
YOU CAN READ ABOUT THIS IN
LEVITICUS 11, VERSE 3, "WHATEVER
00:07:46.73\00:07:50.77
PARTS THE HOOF, AND IS CLOVEN
FOOTED AND CHEWS THE CUD, THESE
00:07:50.80\00:07:56.00
YOU CAN EAT." SO
IT NEEDED TO HAVE A
00:07:56.04\00:07:58.57
CLOVEN HOOF - IT NEEDED BOTH
CHARACTERISTICS, NOT JUST ONE.
00:07:58.61\00:08:04.61
BUT EVEN SOME
MEAT IS NOT HEALTHY.
00:08:04.65\00:08:07.32
FOR INSTANCE, YOU KNOW A CAMEL?
00:08:07.35\00:08:08.92
A CAMEL CHEWS THE
CUD BUT IT'S GOT A PAW.
00:08:08.95\00:08:12.42
NOW SOME OF YOU ARE REALLY
BOTHERED BY THAT BECAUSE YOU'RE
00:08:12.45\00:08:14.32
GOING TO HAVE TO TAKE THE CAMEL
OUT OF YOUR FRIDGE TONIGHT RIGHT
00:08:14.36\00:08:17.29
AFTER (LAUGHTER) WELL, YOU KNOW,
THIS WAS A PROBLEM IN CHRIST'S
00:08:17.33\00:08:20.13
TIME. HE SAID,
'YOU STRAIN A GNAT AND
00:08:20.16\00:08:21.53
YOU SWALLOW A
CAMEL' - WHICH IS UNCLEAN.
00:08:21.56\00:08:24.00
HE SAID, 'YOU'RE WORRIED ABOUT
GETTING A LITTLE BITTY BUG IN
00:08:24.03\00:08:25.63
YOUR WATER, BUT THEN YOU GO EAT
CAMEL STEAK WHEN YOU GO HOME AND
00:08:25.67\00:08:28.10
GOD SAYS IT'S UNCLEAN. HAVE YOU
EVER BEEN AROUND CAMELS? I HAVE.
00:08:28.14\00:08:34.48
YEAH. I
WOULDN'T WANT TO EAT ONE.
00:08:34.51\00:08:36.38
NOW, SOME THINGS, THEY CHEW THE
CUD BUT THEY DON'T HAVE A CLOVEN
00:08:36.41\00:08:41.45
HOOF. AND THEN
THERE'S A COUPLE OF
00:08:41.48\00:08:42.82
ANIMALS THAT HAVE A CLOVEN HOOF,
BUT THEY DON'T CHEW THE CUD.
00:08:42.85\00:08:46.09
YOU KNOW WHAT'S
IN THAT CATEGORY?
00:08:46.12\00:08:47.89
AH, THIS ONE'S VERY POPULAR.
PUERCO - THE PIG, THE HOG, THE
00:08:47.92\00:08:55.60
SWINE - "THOUGH IT DIVIDES
THE HOOF, HAVING CLOVEN HOOVES,
00:08:55.63\00:09:00.20
YET DOES NOT CHEW THE
CUD, IS UNCLEAN TO YOU."
00:09:00.24\00:09:03.87
HE GOES ON TO SAY, "THEIR FLESH
YOU SHALL NOT EAT, AND THEIR
00:09:03.91\00:09:07.18
CARCASS YOU SHALL NOT TOUCH."
THERE WAS AN ABOMINATION.
00:09:07.21\00:09:11.91
PIGS ARE FILTHY. I
USED TO TAKE CARE OF MY
00:09:11.95\00:09:14.78
NEIGHBOR'S PIGS WHEN HE WOULD GO
ON VACATION AND, YOU KNOW, I'D
00:09:14.82\00:09:17.69
ALWAYS TRY AND FIND SOME NEW
WORD TO DESCRIBE IT, BUT ALL I
00:09:17.72\00:09:19.95
CAN COME UP WITH IS TO
TELL YOU THAT PIGS ARE PIGS.
00:09:19.99\00:09:23.16
THEIR NAME IS THE DEFINITION.
YOU CAN'T IMPROVE ON IT.
00:09:23.19\00:09:25.99
(LAUGHTER) YOU EVER BEEN BY - OR
DRIVEN BY A PIG SLAUGHTER HOUSE?
00:09:26.03\00:09:31.43
EVEN THE BIBLE SAYS - LIKE THE
SOW THAT WAS WASHED RETURNS TO
00:09:31.47\00:09:35.94
WALLOWING IN THE
MIRE. AND THEIR FLESH IS
00:09:35.97\00:09:40.78
FULL OF DISEASE.
THEY'RE SCAVENGERS.
00:09:40.81\00:09:45.85
GOD MADE SOME ANIMALS THAT ARE
SCAVENGERS AND THEY'RE MADE TO,
00:09:45.88\00:09:49.12
KIND OF, CLEAN
UP THE ENVIRONMENT.
00:09:49.15\00:09:50.62
THEY EAT GARBAGE. WHY
WOULD YOU - YOU WOULDN'T
00:09:50.65\00:09:54.19
EAT GARBAGE BUT YOU'LL
EAT THE GARBAGE CAN (LAUGHTER)
00:09:54.22\00:09:57.13
WHEN YOU EAT A PIG. HOW
MANY OF YOU REMEMBER THIS?
00:09:57.16\00:10:00.83
'THIS LITTLE PIGGY WENT TO THE
MARKET' (LAUGHTER) 'THIS LITTLE
00:10:00.86\00:10:04.03
PIGGY STAYED HOME.
THIS LITTLE PIGGY HAD ROAST
00:10:04.07\00:10:08.34
BEEF' - EVEN A
PIG WON'T EAT PORK.
00:10:08.37\00:10:10.04
(RAUCOUS LAUGHTER) YOU KNOW
I - I REMEMBER READING ONCE - I
00:10:10.07\00:10:17.51
THINK IT WAS ONE OUT OF FIVE
AUTOPSIES DONE IN NORTH AMERICA
00:10:17.55\00:10:20.78
- THEY FOUND OUT THAT
THE CADAVERS HAD SYMPTOMS OR
00:10:20.82\00:10:24.52
EVIDENCE OF TRICHINA POISONING.
TRICHINOSIS IS A VERY TRICKY
00:10:24.55\00:10:33.09
DISEASE IN THAT WHEN THE MUSCLE
TISSUE CONTAINING TRICHINA CYSTS
00:10:33.13\00:10:37.03
ARE EATEN BY A HUMAN, IT SAYS
THE CYSTS ARE THEN DIGESTED IN
00:10:37.07\00:10:40.64
THE STOMACH THEN RELEASE THE
LARVAE WHICH "...MIGRATE TO THE
00:10:40.67\00:10:44.04
INTESTINE, BEGIN
A NEW LIFE CYCLE.
00:10:44.07\00:10:46.27
FEMALE TRICHINA WORMS LIVE ABOUT
SIX WEEKS AND IN THAT TIME THEY
00:10:46.31\00:10:49.68
MAY RELEASE 15,000 LARVAE.
THE MIGRATION AND ENCYSTMENT OF
00:10:49.71\00:10:53.85
LARVAE CAN CAUSE
FEVER, PAIN, OR EVEN DEATH."
00:10:53.88\00:10:56.35
IT CAN CAUSE STIFFNESS IN JOINTS
AND KNEES AND PAIN AND IT'S
00:10:56.38\00:10:59.59
OFTEN MISDIAGNOSED. A
PERSON THINKS, 'I'VE GOT
00:10:59.62\00:11:02.69
BURSITIS' OR 'ARTHRITIS' AND
THEY GOT PIGITIS IS WHAT IT IS
00:11:02.72\00:11:06.73
(LAUGHTER) IT'S FROM - IT'S
VERY COMMON AROUND THE WORLD.
00:11:06.76\00:11:12.00
THERE'S A PICTURE OF A FELLOW.
HE'S GOT HIS LUNCH ON HIS
00:11:12.03\00:11:13.84
BOX - BACK OF HIS BIKE.
ONE NUTRITIONIST WROTE A FEW
00:11:13.87\00:11:20.11
YEARS AGO - AND THIS IS
AN OLD ARTICLE, BUT I LIKE
00:11:20.14\00:11:21.78
THE WAY HE WORDED
IT. SEPTEMBER 6, 1999.
00:11:21.81\00:11:25.21
A "NUTRITIONIST SAID BACON
WASN'T TECHNICALLY MEAT ANYMORE.
00:11:25.25\00:11:28.65
IT DIDN'T BELONG TO
ANY FOOD GROUP AT ALL.
00:11:28.68\00:11:31.05
IT WAS A SALTY NITRATE-RIDDEN,
FAT-LADEN CARCINOGENIC THING."
00:11:31.09\00:11:36.32
WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO
EAT A CARCINOGENIC THING?
00:11:36.36\00:11:42.30
BECAUSE IT TASTES GOOD.
ARE YOU GOING TO BE CONTROLLED
00:11:42.33\00:11:45.23
BY THE SPIRIT OR BY THE FLESH?
NOW SOME OF YOU ARE SAYING,
00:11:45.27\00:11:49.90
'PASTOR DOUG, YOU'RE COMING DOWN
PRETTY HARD ON THOSE OF US WHO
00:11:49.94\00:11:52.21
ARE, YOU KNOW, EATING
MEAT AND STUFF LIKE THAT.
00:11:52.24\00:11:55.01
YOU KNOW, GOD DESIGNED HUMANS
TO EAT MEAT AND THAT'S WHY WE'VE
00:11:55.04\00:11:58.71
GOT THESE CANINE
TEETH, YOU KNOW?'
00:11:58.75\00:12:01.72
I'VE HEARD THAT ARGUMENT
BEFORE. THAT'S NONSENSE.
00:12:01.75\00:12:05.65
THIS FELLA'S GOT
CANINE TEETH TOO.
00:12:05.69\00:12:07.22
(RAUCOUS LAUGHTER)
AND HE'S A VEGETARIAN.
00:12:07.26\00:12:13.76
AS IS THE HIPPO AND THE ELEPHANT
- I DON'T KNOW HOW FAR I WANT TO
00:12:13.80\00:12:16.00
TAKE THIS ILLUSTRATION BUT
- AND, ACTUALLY, THE DIGESTIVE
00:12:16.03\00:12:21.70
SYSTEM OF A CAT OR A CARNIVORE
OR A DOG IS VERY SMOOTH.
00:12:21.74\00:12:27.28
VEGETARIAN ANIMALS HAVE A
MORE COMPLEX DIGESTIVE SYSTEM.
00:12:27.31\00:12:31.41
WHERE THEY'VE GOT THE BROKEN
UP INTESTINE AND WE'RE IN THAT
00:12:31.45\00:12:39.22
CATEGORY. WE THRIVE
ON A VEGETARIAN DIET.
00:12:39.25\00:12:43.26
PEOPLE SAY TO ME ALL THE TIME,
'OH PASTOR DOUG, YOU KNOW, YOU
00:12:43.29\00:12:45.76
CAN'T BE HEALTHY
IF YOU'RE VEGETARIAN.
00:12:45.79\00:12:48.53
YOU'RE NOT GOING TO GET
ENOUGH B-12 AND PROTEIN.'
00:12:48.56\00:12:51.47
THAT IS A MYTH. THAT IS
TOTALLY AN UNEDUCATED STATEMENT.
00:12:51.50\00:12:54.80
I'VE BEEN A
VEGETARIAN FOR FORTY YEARS.
00:12:54.84\00:12:57.67
I LOVE WHEN I GO TO SUBWAY AND I
ORDER A VEGGIE AND THEY SAY, 'DO
00:12:57.71\00:13:00.31
YOU WANT ANY
CHEESE?' I SAID, 'NO.
00:13:00.34\00:13:01.68
I'M A VEGAN TOO.' I
SAID, 'NO, JUST ALL VEGGIES.'
00:13:01.71\00:13:04.75
I SAY, 'I'M A
VEGETARIAN.' 'REALLY?'
00:13:04.78\00:13:06.82
I SAID, 'YEP.' I SAID,
'DO I LOOK 90 YEARS OLD?'
00:13:06.85\00:13:10.02
(LAUGHTER) AND THEY GO, 'WOW,
YOU'RE NOT' - (RAUCOUS LAUGHTER)
00:13:10.05\00:13:18.09
I USUALLY CONFESS THAT
I'M KIDDING AT THAT POINT.
00:13:18.13\00:13:20.03
YOU NOTICE I DIDN'T SAY I
WAS 90, I SAID, 'DO I LOOK 90?'
00:13:20.06\00:13:23.30
(LAUGHTER) OF COURSE,
ONCE I SAID, 'DO I LOOK 70?'
00:13:23.33\00:13:25.83
AND THEY SAID, 'YEAH, ABOUT 70.'
(LAUGHTER) SO I HAD TO UP IT A
00:13:25.87\00:13:29.27
LITTLE BIT. BUT, NO,
YOU KNOW, I REALLY HAVE
00:13:29.30\00:13:34.58
BEEN A VEGETARIAN 40
YEARS AND I FEEL GREAT.
00:13:34.61\00:13:36.11
YOU GET - YOU KNOW, IF YOU - A
PEANUT BUTTER AND JELLY SANDWICH
00:13:36.14\00:13:39.08
HAS EVERYTHING YOU NEED. IF
YOU USE STRAWBERRY PRESERVES
00:13:39.11\00:13:41.88
YOU'VE GOT YOUR FRUITS,
GRAINS, AND NUTS RIGHT THERE.
00:13:41.92\00:13:43.82
THE WHOLE THING.
(LAUGHTER) YOU'VE GOT PROTEIN,
00:13:43.85\00:13:46.25
YOU'VE GOT B-12 -
YOU'VE GOT EVERYTHING YOU NEED.
00:13:46.29\00:13:48.12
AND SOMEBODY SAYS, 'YOU WON'T
GET ENOUGH,' DON'T BELIEVE THAT
00:13:48.16\00:13:51.53
FOR A MINUTE. LOOK WHAT
HAPPENED HERE IN THE BIBLE.
00:13:51.56\00:13:56.13
IT'S KIND OF A PRIMITIVE CHART
BUT YOU SEE HERE, THESE ARE THE
00:13:56.16\00:13:59.43
PEOPLE WHO LIVED IN
THE DAYS BEFORE THE FLOOD.
00:13:59.47\00:14:02.27
YOU'VE GOT SETH, METHUSELAH,
NOAH - THEY'RE LIVES WERE
00:14:02.30\00:14:05.67
MEASURED IN HUNDREDS OF YEARS.
00:14:05.71\00:14:07.78
AFTER THE FLOOD, ALL OF
THE VEGETATION WAS DESTROYED.
00:14:07.81\00:14:10.78
YOU REMEMBER, GOD TOOK THE CLEAN
ANIMALS ON THE ARK BY SEVENS AND
00:14:10.81\00:14:15.72
THEY, OSTENSIBLY,
WOULD SACRIFICE THEM.
00:14:15.75\00:14:19.19
THEY WERE ALLOWED TO EAT OF
THE SACRIFICE, BUT MEAT EATING
00:14:19.22\00:14:21.62
BECAME A LOT MORE
PREDOMINANT AFTER THE FLOOD.
00:14:21.66\00:14:25.09
AND LOOK WHAT
HAPPENED TO THE LIFE SPAN.
00:14:25.13\00:14:28.40
ONE OF THE PLACES IN THE WORLD
WHERE PEOPLE LIVE THE LONGEST IS
00:14:28.43\00:14:31.43
THE HUNZA PEOPLE IN THE
HUNZA VALLEY IN INDIA - LARGELY
00:14:31.47\00:14:34.50
VEGETARIAN - VERY COMMON FOR
THEM TO LIVE OVER 100 YEARS OF
00:14:34.54\00:14:37.87
AGE. THEY DON'T
HAVE A FRACTION OF
00:14:37.91\00:14:40.08
THE MODERN
DISEASES THAT WE EXPERIENCE.
00:14:40.11\00:14:42.28
DOUG: DON'T GO
ANYWHERE, FRIENDS.
00:14:42.74\00:14:44.05
WE'LL BE BACK IN JUST
A MOMENT WITH THE REST
00:14:44.08\00:14:45.85
OF TODAY'S PRESENTATION.
00:14:45.88\00:14:47.92
IT'S NO SECRET, FRIENDS,
MILLIONS OF PEOPLE TODAY ARE
00:14:47.95\00:14:50.69
SUFFERING FROM HEALTH ISSUES
THAT LEAD TO CRIPPLING DISEASE
00:14:50.72\00:14:54.16
AND SHORTER LIVES.

WE SPEND BILLIONS EVERY YEAR ON
GOOFY HEALTH FADS THAT OFTEN END
00:14:56.22\00:15:00.33
UP HURTING OUR
BODIES MORE THAN HELPING.
00:15:00.36\00:15:02.86

00:15:02.90\00:15:06.84

LET'S RETURN NOW TO TODAY'S
PRESENTATION AND LEARN SOME MORE
00:15:47.98\00:15:51.05
AMAZING FACTS
FROM THE WORD OF GOD.
00:15:51.08\00:15:53.55
DOUG: NOW, IF YOU'RE GOING TO
TALK ABOUT - WE TALKED ABOUT THE
00:15:55.18\00:15:57.35
MAMMALS THAT HAD TO HAVE A
CLOVEN HOOF AND CHEW THE CUD -
00:15:57.39\00:16:00.56
WHAT ABOUT THE SEA CREATURES?
WHAT TYPES OF FISH OR SEAFOOD
00:16:00.59\00:16:04.53
ARE CLEAN, BIBLICALLY? YOU
READ IN LEVITICUS 11, VERSE
00:16:04.56\00:16:07.50
9, "THESE YOU CAN EAT OF ALL
THAT ARE IN THE WATERS: WHATEVER
00:16:07.56\00:16:11.07
HAS FINS AND
SCALES...THEM YOU SHALL EAT."
00:16:11.10\00:16:15.20
YOU KNOW, I UNDERSTAND THAT
THE NAVY DID SOME RESEARCH BACK
00:16:15.24\00:16:20.68
AFTER WORLD WAR II BECAUSE
A NUMBER OF PILOTS AND SAILORS
00:16:20.71\00:16:24.85
WERE FLOATING AROUND IN THE
OCEAN - THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHAT
00:16:24.88\00:16:28.35
THEY COULD AND COULDN'T EAT OF
THE FISH THAT KIND OF GATHERED
00:16:28.38\00:16:30.79
AROUND THEIR LIFE RAFTS AND THEY
SAID, 'WE NEED TO GIVE THEM SOME
00:16:30.82\00:16:33.09
CRITERIA THAT THEY CAN REMEMBER
- SOMETHING SIMPLE.' AND THEY
00:16:33.12\00:16:36.59
DID ALL THIS RESEARCH AND ONE OF
THEM SAID, 'YOU KNOW, IT SAYS IN
00:16:36.62\00:16:40.70
THE BIBLE THAT IF IT HAS FINS
AND SCALES IT'S SAFE.' AND THEY
00:16:40.73\00:16:44.50
SAID, 'WELL, LET'S SEE WHAT THAT
LOOKS LIKE.' AND DID ALL THE
00:16:44.53\00:16:46.13
RESEARCH. THEY
SAID, 'THAT'S PROBABLY THE
00:16:46.17\00:16:47.67
BEST RULE OF THUMB WE CAN TELL
THE SAILORS.' THEY FOUND A LOT
00:16:47.70\00:16:51.84
OF TOXINS IN THE SCAVENGERS.
CATFISH DO NOT HAVE SCALES.
00:16:51.87\00:16:58.75
MY BROTHER AND I USED TO CATCH
CATFISH OFF MY DAD'S BACK PORCH.
00:16:58.78\00:17:02.15
HE WAS RIGHT ON
BISCAYNE BAY IN MIAMI BEACH.
00:17:02.18\00:17:04.22
AND, TAKING THE HOOK OUT OF THE
CATFISH, MY BROTHER'S FINGER GOT
00:17:04.25\00:17:09.32
POKED BY THE DORSAL FIN AND IT
WAS SO TOXIC HE COULD NEVER BEND
00:17:09.36\00:17:12.86
HIS FINGER AGAIN. AND
PEOPLE EAT THOSE THINGS.
00:17:12.89\00:17:16.80
WE ATE 'EM TOO BACK
THEN. SHARKS, THEY'VE GOT
00:17:16.83\00:17:19.77
CARTILAGE ON THE
OUTSIDE. THEY'RE SCAVENGERS.
00:17:19.80\00:17:23.61
AND SOME OF YOU ARE
WONDERING, WHAT ABOUT TUNA.
00:17:23.64\00:17:26.74
TUNA HAS SCALES - VERY
SMALL, BUT THEY'VE GOT SCALES.
00:17:26.78\00:17:29.84
AND SO, THEY
NEEDED THESE THINGS.
00:17:29.88\00:17:31.18
SO WHAT WOULD BE UNCLEAN?
"BUT IN THE SEAS" - LEVITICUS
00:17:31.21\00:17:34.88
11:10 STILL - "IN ALL THE SEAS
OF THE RIVERS THOSE THAT DO NOT
00:17:34.92\00:17:38.92
HAVE FINS AND SCALES, ALL THAT
MOVE IN THE WATER OR ANY LIVING
00:17:38.95\00:17:42.22
THING WHICH IS IN THE WATER,
THEY ARE AN ABOMINATION TO YOU."
00:17:42.26\00:17:46.09
NOW THERE'S NO TIME IN THE BIBLE
WHEN GOD CALLS SOMETHING AN
00:17:46.13\00:17:48.66
ABOMINATION IN ONE PART THAT IT
IS THEN BLESSED IN ANOTHER PART.
00:17:48.70\00:17:52.30
ANYTHING THAT'S DECLARED
BY GOD AN ABOMINATION STAYS AN
00:17:52.33\00:17:54.87
ABOMINATION. AND, BY
THE WAY, THESE ARE NOT
00:17:54.90\00:17:59.57
LAWS JUST FOR ONE GROUP OF
PEOPLE, THESE ARE LAWS THAT
00:17:59.61\00:18:02.44
GOD GAVE TO HUMANITY IN THE
BEGINNING. WHAT ABOUT THE BIRDS?
00:18:02.48\00:18:06.45
IF YOU'RE GOING TO EAT
MEAT, WHAT BIRDS ARE CLEAN?
00:18:06.48\00:18:09.42
WELL, THE WAY THEY RAISE
SOME BIRDS, I DON'T WANT TO EAT
00:18:09.45\00:18:13.32
ANYTHING BUT, BIBLICALLY, IT
NEEDED TO BE A FORAGING BIRD.
00:18:13.36\00:18:17.79
THE ONES THAT ARE UNCLEAN -
IT SAYS, "EVERY RAVEN AFTER ITS
00:18:17.83\00:18:20.16
KIND," - AND THE "OWL,
AND THE NIGHT HAWK, AND
00:18:20.20\00:18:23.70
THE CUCKAW, AND THE
HAWK AFTER ITS KIND."
00:18:23.73\00:18:26.43
- THE SCAVENGERS - THE RAPTORS
- THEY WERE UNCLEAN - THE
00:18:26.47\00:18:31.74
OMNIVORES. THE
FORAGING BIRDS LIKE THE
00:18:31.77\00:18:35.61
PHEASANT AND THE QUAIL AND THE
CHICKEN AND THE TURKEY, YOU'LL
00:18:35.64\00:18:39.75
BE HAPPY TO KNOW, ARE IN
THE CLEAN CATEGORY. (LAUGHTER)
00:18:39.78\00:18:43.85
PIGEON IS CLEAN, WHICH MEANS
THEY'LL NEVER STARVE IN NEW YORK
00:18:43.89\00:18:48.56
CITY. (LAUGHTER) I WOULDN'T
EAT ANY OF THOSE, THOUGH.
00:18:48.59\00:18:54.10
BUT THEY WERE
TYPICALLY IN THAT CATEGORY.
00:18:54.13\00:18:56.97
SO, ARE THE LAWS ABOUT THE CLEAN
AND UNCLEAN ANIMALS PART OF
00:18:57.00\00:19:00.07
MOSES' CEREMONIAL LAW
THAT ENDED AT THE CROSS?
00:19:00.10\00:19:02.90
THIS IS THE ARGUMENT -
HAVE YOU HEARD THIS BEFORE?
00:19:02.94\00:19:05.14
NO, YOU READ IN GENESIS 7, WHEN
GOD WAS TELLING NOAH TO BRING
00:19:05.17\00:19:10.45
THE ANIMALS ON THE ARK, EVERYONE
SAYS, 'OH YEAH, THEY WENT ON THE
00:19:10.48\00:19:12.75
ARK TWO BY
TWO.' NOT ALL OF THEM.
00:19:12.78\00:19:15.48
THE UNCLEAN ANIMALS WENT BY TWO.
THE CLEAN ANIMALS WENT BY SEVEN.
00:19:15.52\00:19:20.39
"COME INTO THE ARK YOU AND ALL
YOUR HOUSEHOLD..." AND IT SAYS
00:19:20.42\00:19:23.39
OF THE BEASTS THAT ARE NOT
CLEAN THEY'LL BRING BY TWO.
00:19:23.43\00:19:27.13
OF THE CLEAN
BEASTS, THEY COME BY SEVENS.
00:19:27.20\00:19:30.87
LIKE YOU MIGHT HAVE
THE STAG AND SEVEN DOES.
00:19:30.90\00:19:33.74
YOU HAVE THE BULL AND - OR SIX
COWS AND THE BULL - AND SO THEY
00:19:33.77\00:19:36.91
MAY HAVE
DIVIDED IT UP LIKE THAT.
00:19:36.94\00:19:38.57
AND SO, HOW MANY
HERE ARE RELATED TO NOAH?
00:19:38.61\00:19:43.88
THAT'D BE ALL OF YOU.
(LAUGHTER) HOW MANY OF YOU NEVER
00:19:43.91\00:19:46.31
RAISE YOUR HAND WHEN
THE PASTOR ASKS A QUESTION?
00:19:46.35\00:19:48.25
(RAUCOUS LAUGHTER) SOME OF YOU
WERE HONEST ENOUGH TO FINALLY
00:19:48.28\00:19:51.55
RAISE YOUR HAND
FOR THAT QUESTION.
00:19:51.59\00:19:54.69
BUT WE'RE ALL RELATED TO NOAH.
SO GOD MAKES A DISTINCTION OF
00:19:54.72\00:19:58.26
CLEAN AND UNCLEAN RIGHT
BACK THERE IN THE BEGINNING.
00:19:58.29\00:20:01.70
THESE THINGS - WE KNOW TODAY
THAT THERE'S HEALTH PRINCIPLES.
00:20:01.73\00:20:05.73
BY THE WAY, NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC
DID AN ARTICLE A FEW YEARS AGO
00:20:05.77\00:20:11.01
CALLED THE BLUE
ZONES . DID ANY OF YOU HERE
00:20:11.04\00:20:12.84
EVER SEE THIS MAGAZINE?
IT TALKED ABOUT THE AREAS OF
00:20:12.87\00:20:15.24
THE WORLD WHERE
PEOPLE LIVE THE LONGEST.
00:20:15.28\00:20:17.75
THEY CAME UP WITH THREE GROUPS:
THE PEOPLE THAT LIVE IN SARDINIA
00:20:17.78\00:20:22.38
- THE MEDITERRANEAN, THE PEOPLE
THAT LIVE IN OKINAWA, JAPAN -
00:20:22.42\00:20:26.89
SOME OF THE OLDEST IN THE WORLD,
AND THE THIRD CATEGORY WAS
00:20:26.92\00:20:29.56
SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTISTS
THAT LIVE IN LOMA LINDA.
00:20:29.59\00:20:32.23
OR SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTISTS,
BUT THAT'S JUST AN ENCLAVE DOWN
00:20:32.26\00:20:36.03
THERE AND SO THEY SAW
THERE WAS A CONCENTRATION.
00:20:36.06\00:20:38.40
AND SO, THEY SPECIFICALLY
SAID SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTISTS.
00:20:38.43\00:20:41.64
WHAT DO THEY ATTRIBUTE THAT
TO? THEIR HEALTHY LIFESTYLE.
00:20:41.67\00:20:46.91
FOLLOWING THE BIBLICAL
00:20:46.94\00:20:48.54
CRITERIA, AMONG OTHER THINGS,
HAVING A DAY OF REST HELPS ALSO.
00:20:48.58\00:20:53.11
AND THEY LIVE A LOT LONGER.
I WAS VISITING A SISTER TODAY,
00:20:53.15\00:20:59.02
93 YEARS OLD UP
AND AROUND DOING FINE.
00:20:59.05\00:21:02.76
THIS IS A PICTURE OF ONE OF
MY CHURCH MEMBERS, 111 AND STILL
00:21:02.79\00:21:06.76
GOING - VIOLA COOK. AND
IT JUST WAS AMAZING TO ME,
00:21:06.80\00:21:14.04
HER BROTHER-IN-LAW TOLD ME - ART
REED - GAVE ME SOME GOOD ADVICE
00:21:14.07\00:21:18.67
- IF YOU FORGET EVERYTHING I SAY
TONIGHT, REMEMBER THIS: I SAID,
00:21:18.71\00:21:21.04
'ART, HOW COME YOU'RE
SO OLD AND SO HEALTHY?'
00:21:21.08\00:21:23.48
HE SAID, 'THREE THINGS:
STOP EATING WHILE YOU'RE STILL A
00:21:23.51\00:21:26.82
LITTLE HUNGRY, WAKE UP WHEN
YOU'RE STILL A LITTLE SLEEPY,
00:21:26.85\00:21:31.62
AND STOP TALKING WHEN YOU STILL
HAVE SOMETHING LEFT TO SAY.'
00:21:31.65\00:21:34.22
(LAUGHTER) SECRET TO LIFE.
00:21:34.26\00:21:39.03
DOES GOD SAY THAT EATING UNCLEAN
FOOD IS A SERIOUS OFFENSE?
00:21:39.06\00:21:44.80
SOME PEOPLE THINK, 'OH,
THE BIBLE LAWS ABOUT HEALTH ARE
00:21:44.83\00:21:47.24
RECOMMENDATIONS.' THE
BIBLE DOESN'T CALL THEM
00:21:47.27\00:21:48.80
RECOMMENDATIONS,
IT CALLS THEM LAWS.
00:21:48.84\00:21:50.87
LISTEN TO WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS
IN ISAIAH 66, VERSES 15 AND 17:
00:21:50.91\00:21:54.71
"FOR BEHOLD, THE LORD WILL COME
WITH FIRE AND WITH HIS CHARIOTS,
00:21:54.74\00:21:58.21
LIKE A WHIRLWIND, TO
RENDER HIS ANGER WITH FURY.
00:21:58.25\00:22:02.22
THOSE WHO SANCTIFY THEMSELVES
AND PURIFY THEMSELVES..."
00:22:02.25\00:22:05.82
- THEY'RE DECLARING THEMSELVES
SANCTIFIED AND PURE - "'EATING
00:22:05.85\00:22:08.02
SWINE'S FLESH AND THE
ABOMINATION AND THE MOUSE, SHALL
00:22:08.06\00:22:13.63
BE CONSUMED
TOGETHER,' SAYS THE LORD."
00:22:13.66\00:22:16.63
'OH, PASTOR DOUG, ARE YOU
TELLING ME THAT MY BLT SANDWICH
00:22:16.67\00:22:19.73
IS NO MORE? IT
TASTES SO GOOD.' YOU KNOW,
00:22:19.77\00:22:25.21
WHEN YOU REALLY THINK
ABOUT IT, THERE ARE SO MANY
00:22:25.24\00:22:26.91
GOOD THINGS TO EAT. I'M
SURPRISED - PEOPLE SAY TO
00:22:26.94\00:22:29.84
ME, 'PASTOR DOUG,
YOU'RE A VEGETARIAN.
00:22:29.88\00:22:31.75
WHAT DO YOU EAT?'
(LAUGHTER) WELL, I EAT GREAT.
00:22:31.78\00:22:37.99
LOTS OF THINGS. YOU
GROW UP LEARNING A CERTAIN
00:22:38.02\00:22:41.09
WAY AND YOU THINK
THAT'S THE ONLY WAY.
00:22:41.12\00:22:42.96
YOU'VE GOT TO JUST LEARN TO
DO GOOD - LEARN A NEW WAY - AND
00:22:42.99\00:22:45.49
YOU'LL BE FINE. SOME
PEOPLE THINK, 'WELL, IF GOD
00:22:45.53\00:22:47.86
DOESN'T WANT US TO EAT
IT, WHY DID HE MAKE IT?'
00:22:47.86\00:22:50.97
AND IT'S ALMOST LIKE A BUMPER
STICKER THAT YOU WOULD FIND
00:22:51.00\00:22:53.37
SOMEWHERE ON BUBBA'S TRUCK: 'GOD
MADE IT SO WE CAN KILL IT AND
00:22:53.40\00:22:57.61
EAT IT.' HE
DIDN'T MAKE ANY OF THE
00:22:57.64\00:23:00.14
ANIMALS FOR US TO KILL AND EAT.
00:23:00.18\00:23:02.58
PEOPLE QUOTE THIS VERSE IN 1
TIMOTHY 4:4, "FOR EVERY CREATURE
00:23:02.61\00:23:06.25
OF GOD IS GOOD," -
HAVE YOU HEARD THIS BEFORE?
00:23:06.28\00:23:09.02
- "AND NOTHING TO BE REFUSED IF
IT IS RECEIVED WITH THANKSGIVING
00:23:09.05\00:23:12.69
AND PRAYER." NOW THEY
DON'T READ THE CONTEXT
00:23:12.72\00:23:16.12
- THEY DON'T READ WHAT
IT SAYS BEFORE OR AFTER.
00:23:16.16\00:23:17.66
IT SAYS, FIRST OF ALL, THAT
IT'LL BE SANCTIFIED BY THE WORD
00:23:17.69\00:23:19.36
OF GOD. THAT
MEANS THE CREATURES THAT
00:23:19.39\00:23:21.90
ARE APPROVED IN THE WORD OF
GOD CAN BE SANCTIFIED BY PRAYER.
00:23:21.93\00:23:26.27
BUT THIS NOTION THAT CHRISTIANS
BELIEVE - AND THIS IS WHERE -
00:23:26.30\00:23:29.74
BOY, I HOPE THIS SINKS IN WITH
THINKING CHRISTIANS OUT THERE -
00:23:29.77\00:23:33.38
THE IDEA THAT WE'RE FREE
NOW FROM THE LAWS ABOUT HEALTH
00:23:33.41\00:23:37.11
BECAUSE WE JUST PRAY AND
GOD BLESSES WHATEVER WE EAT.
00:23:37.15\00:23:40.82
YOU WOULD NOT ACCEPT
THAT FROM YOUR CHILDREN.
00:23:40.85\00:23:43.62
HOW MANY ARE PARENTS OUT THERE?
ARE THEY RAISING THEIR HANDS?
00:23:43.65\00:23:48.69
IF YOU WERE GETTING READY FOR
WORK ONE DAY AND YOUR KIDS WERE
00:23:48.72\00:23:51.69
FIXING THEIR OWN BREAKFAST, YOU
KNOW, THEY'RE A LITTLE OLDER,
00:23:51.73\00:23:53.73
AND YOU SEE THAT THEY'RE POURING
SUGAR FROSTED FLAKES IN THEIR
00:23:53.76\00:23:59.87
BOWL AND THEY'RE PUTTING SUGAR
ON TOP OF IT, THEN THEY GO IN
00:23:59.90\00:24:02.77
THE FREEZER AND GET A SCOOP OF
CHOCOLATE ICE CREAM, THEN THEY
00:24:02.80\00:24:05.34
GET SOME CARAMEL SYRUP, AND YOU
SAY, 'WHAT IN THE WORLD DO YOU
00:24:05.37\00:24:08.44
THINK YOU'RE DOING?'
'DON'T WORRY, MOM, DAD, I'M
00:24:08.48\00:24:11.91
GOING TO ASK JESUS TO BLESS IT.'
00:24:11.95\00:24:13.62
(LAUGHTER) WOULD
YOU SAY, 'WELL, THAT'S
00:24:13.65\00:24:17.45
OKAY, AS LONG AS
YOU PRAY OVER IT,
00:24:17.49\00:24:18.92
THAT'LL BE OKAY.' HOW
MANY WOULD ACCEPT THAT?
00:24:18.95\00:24:22.52
THEN WHY DO WE THINK THAT WE CAN
TEMPT THE LORD BY GOING AGAINST
00:24:22.56\00:24:26.93
THE BASIC PRINCIPLES OF HEALTH
IN THE BIBLE AND SAY, 'BUT I
00:24:26.96\00:24:29.40
PRAYED OVER IT.' WHEN THE BIBLE
TALKS ABOUT THAT, IT'S TALKING
00:24:29.43\00:24:33.80
ABOUT THERE WAS A BIG CONTEST
BETWEEN THE JEWISH CHRISTIANS
00:24:33.84\00:24:38.07
AND THE GENTILE CHRISTIANS
AND THE JEWISH CHRISTIANS SAID,
00:24:38.11\00:24:40.31
'OH, THAT MEAT HAD
BEEN OFFERED TO AN IDOL.
00:24:40.34\00:24:42.44
YOU CAN'T EAT IT.' AND
PAUL SAID, 'LOOK, THE IDOL'S
00:24:42.48\00:24:44.31
NOTHING.' YOU PRAY OVER IT - HE
WAS TALKING ABOUT CLEAN ANIMALS
00:24:44.35\00:24:47.35
THAT MAYBE THEY HAD BOUGHT IN
A GENTILE MARKETPLACE - GOAT OR
00:24:47.38\00:24:51.05
TURKEY OR SHEEP OR WHATEVER
IT WAS - AND THE JEWS HAD A VERY
00:24:51.09\00:24:55.66
SENSITIVE CONSCIENCE, THEY
SAID, 'BUT IT WAS A GENTILE
00:24:55.69\00:24:58.26
MARKETPLACE. THEY
BUTCHER THINGS AND THEY
00:24:58.29\00:25:00.06
OFFER THEM TO GODS BEFORE THEY
BUTCHER THEM.' PAUL SAID, 'LOOK,
00:25:00.10\00:25:03.97
IT'S SANCTIFIED
BY THE WORD OF GOD.
00:25:04.00\00:25:05.47
GOD'S WORD SAID YOU CAN EAT THAT
GOAT - THAT SHEEP - AND YOU'VE
00:25:05.50\00:25:08.30
PRAYED OVER IT.
DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT.'
00:25:08.34\00:25:09.94
HOW MANY OF YOU EAT CHINESE
FOOD IN A CHINESE RESTAURANT?
00:25:09.97\00:25:12.14
I DO. I DID THIS WEEK.
00:25:12.17\00:25:13.91
AND WHEN I WENT IN, THERE
WAS A BUDDHA IN THE RESTAURANT.
00:25:13.94\00:25:19.78
NOW, SOME CHRISTIANS
MIGHT HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THAT.
00:25:19.81\00:25:21.78
THEY MIGHT SAY, 'I CAN'T EAT
IN THERE, THERE WAS A BUDDHA.
00:25:21.82\00:25:23.75
I'LL BE SUPPORTING BUDDHA
IF I EAT IN THAT RESTAURANT.'
00:25:23.79\00:25:26.39
(LAUGHTER) PAUL WAS SAYING,
'LOOK, YOU PRAY OVER YOUR FOOD.
00:25:26.42\00:25:29.76
DON'T WORRY ABOUT WHAT THEY
THINK ABOUT - THE COOK MIGHT BE
00:25:29.79\00:25:32.16
A BUDDHIST - IT'S NOT GOING TO
HURT YOU.' THIS WAS THE ISSUE.
00:25:32.19\00:25:35.40
IT WASN'T SAYING
YOU COULD EAT ANYTHING.
00:25:35.43\00:25:38.43
THAT'S IRRESPONSIBLE. WE
ALL KNOW BETTER THAN THAT.
00:25:38.47\00:25:42.10
WHAT YOU EAT IS GOING
TO AFFECT YOUR HEALTH.
00:25:42.14\00:25:44.41
HOW MUCH YOU EAT IS
GOING TO AFFECT YOUR HEALTH.
00:25:44.44\00:25:48.04
SOME WILL SAY, 'WHAT ABOUT THE
VISION THAT PETER HAD IN ACTS
00:25:48.08\00:25:50.75
CHAPTER 10?' SOME OF
YOU REMEMBER, IT TELLS
00:25:50.78\00:25:54.52
US THAT CORNELIUS, A GENTILE,
AND HIS FAMILY FULL OF GENTILES,
00:25:54.55\00:25:58.99
AN ANGEL SAYS, 'YOU
MUST HEAR FROM PETER.'
00:25:59.02\00:26:02.76
THEY SEND MESSENGERS TO PETER.
NORMALLY JEWS DID NOT PREACH
00:26:02.79\00:26:05.49
TO THE GENTILES
IN THOSE EARLY DAYS.
00:26:05.53\00:26:07.83
PETER'S UP ON THE ROOF,
HE'S PRAYING, HE'S HUNGRY.
00:26:07.86\00:26:10.63
GOD GIVES HIM A VISION OF
A SHEET THAT COMES DOWN FROM
00:26:10.67\00:26:12.67
HEAVEN, FULL OF ALL THESE
UNCLEAN ANIMALS AND GOD SAYS,
00:26:12.70\00:26:15.40
'ARISE AND EAT.' NOTICE
WHAT PETER SAYS: 'NOT SO, LORD.
00:26:15.44\00:26:19.94
I HAVE NEVER EATEN ANYTHING
COMMON OR UNCLEAN.' AND THE
00:26:19.97\00:26:24.35
BIBLE SAYS, 'DO NOT CALL UNCLEAN
WHAT I HAVE CLEANSED.' AND HE'S
00:26:24.38\00:26:28.72
WONDERING - THIS HAPPENS THREE
TIMES - HE NEVER TAKES ANYTHING
00:26:28.75\00:26:30.85
OUT OF THE SHEET - IT'S A
VISION - YOU CAN'T EAT A VISION.
00:26:30.89\00:26:33.29
HE NEVER TAKES ANYTHING OUT
OF THE SHEET. HE NEVER EATS IT.
00:26:33.32\00:26:36.73
AND HE'S WONDERING
WHAT THE VISION MEANS.
00:26:36.76\00:26:39.46
AND SOME GENTILES KNOCK ON
THE DOOR DOWNSTAIRS AND PETER
00:26:39.49\00:26:42.40
EXPLAINS WHAT
THIS VISION IS ABOUT.
00:26:42.43\00:26:44.40
HE SAID, 'GOD HAS TOLD ME NOT TO
CALL ANY MAN' - THAT'S A FUNNY
00:26:44.43\00:26:49.37
WAY TO SPELL 'PIG' - IT DOESN'T
SAY GOD SHOWED ME NOT TO CALL
00:26:49.40\00:26:53.34
ANY SWINE UNCLEAN.' HE SAID NOT
TO CALL ANY MAN UNCLEAN BECAUSE
00:26:53.38\00:26:56.51
THE JEWS WERE
CALLING THE GENTILES UNCLEAN.
00:26:56.54\00:26:59.28
THIS VISION HAD
NOTHING TO DO WITH FOOD.
00:26:59.31\00:27:02.12
IT HAD TO DO WITH TAKING
THE GOSPEL TO THE GENTILES.
00:27:02.15\00:27:04.85
SO PASTORS THAT SAY
THAT, THEY'RE BEING DISHONEST.
00:27:04.89\00:27:08.22
THEY KNOW THAT'S NOT WHAT
WAS REALLY HAPPENING THERE.
00:27:08.26\00:27:10.89
DOES IT MAKE A
DIFFERENCE WHAT WE EAT?
00:27:10.93\00:27:13.43
DO YOU KNOW WHY WE'RE ALL
HAVING PROBLEMS WITH SIN AND
00:27:13.46\00:27:15.33
TEMPTATION? BECAUSE
OUR FIRST PARENTS ATE
00:27:15.36\00:27:18.67
SOMETHING THEY
WEREN'T SUPPOSED TO EAT.
