01:00 >>THIS PRESENTATION IS BROUGHT TO YOU BY THE
01:02 FRIENDS OF THE AMAZING FACTS MINISTRY. 01:11 >>AND WHATEVER YOU EAT AND WHATEVER YOU DRINK, 01:14 DO ALL TO THE GLORY OF GOD. IT DOES MAKE A 01:16 DIFFERENCE WHAT YOU DO WITH YOUR BODY. 01:18 YOUR BODY IS THE TEMPLE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT. 01:23 >>FOR OVER 40 YEARS AMAZING FACTS HAS BEEN 01:25 DEDICATED TO SHARING GOD'S WORD THROUGH MEDIA. 01:29 THIS PROGRAM FEATURES HIGHLIGHTS FROM SOME OF 01:31 OUR BEST TELEVISION BROADCASTS. 01:34 WE INVITE YOU TO SIT BACK AND ENJOY THIS EDITION OF 01:37 AMAZING FACTS PRESENTS. >>WE'RE GOING TO START 01:45 WITH A STORY THAT YOU FIND IN THE BIBLE IN THE BOOK 01:49 OF DANIEL - DANIEL CHAPTER 1 - AND IT'S CALLED 01:53 BABYLON'S BUFFET AND THIS IS BASED UPON DANIEL 1, 01:58 VERSES 1 THROUGH 21 - IT'S A WHOLE CHAPTER. 02:00 NOW DANIEL IS A BOOK THAT DEALS A LOT WITH PROPHECY, BUT 02:03 IT'S INTERESTING HOW THE BOOK OF DANIEL BEGINS WITH A TEST. 02:08 ABOUT 500 YEARS BEFORE CHRIST, KING NEBUCHADNEZZAR INVADED 02:11 JERUSALEM, AND ON HIS FIRST ATTACK ON THE CITY 02:16 HE CARRIED AWAY THOUSANDS OF PRISONERS FROM 02:19 JERUSALEM TO BABYLON AND AMONG THOSE HE CARRIED 02:22 AWAY WERE SOME OF THE PRINCES OF JERUSALEM. 02:26 SOME OF THEM, THE BIBLE FORETOLD, WERE DESCENDANTS OF 02:29 KING HEZEKIAH. AND THEY WERE TAKEN AND THEY 02:32 WERE EDUCATED IN THE PALACE OF BABYLON. 02:36 AND THE KING SAID, 'LOOK, WE'RE GOING TO TEACH YOU 02:37 THE LANGUAGE OF THE BABYLONIANS' - HE TOOK THE 02:39 BRIGHTEST AND THE BEST LOOKING OF ALL THE ROYAL 02:42 CHILDREN BACK TO BABYLON AND HE SAID, 'I'M GOING TO 02:46 TRAIN YOU IN ALL THE SCIENCES OF BABYLON,' - 02:49 WHICH WAS THE MOST SOPHISTICATED PLACE IN THE 02:51 WORLD AT THE TIME - 'AND AFTER THREE YEARS, THOSE 02:54 WHO PASSED THE TEST - THE CREAM OF THE CROP - WILL 02:56 STAND BEFORE ME AND THEY WILL BE REPRESENTATIVES TO 03:00 THESE OTHER NATIONS.' NEBUCHADNEZZAR WAS REALLY 03:03 A VERY SMART LEADER AND HE HAD GREAT COUNSELORS AND 03:05 THIS WAS A WISE PLAN. SO AMONG SOME OF THE THOUSANDS 03:09 THAT WERE CARRIED FROM JERUSALEM WERE FOUR HEBREW YOUNG MEN. 03:13 THEIR JEWISH NAMES WERE DANIEL, HANANIAH, MISHAEL, 03:17 AND AZARIAH. BABYLONIAN NAMES WERE 03:20 BELTESHAZAR, SHADRACH, MESHACH, AND ABEDNEGO. 03:24 AND DANIEL, SHADRACH, MESHACH, AND ABEDNEGO WENT 03:29 TO THIS SCHOOL, BUT THEN THEY FOUND OUT THAT THEY 03:31 WERE GOING TO BE REQUIRED TO EAT FROM THE ROYAL 03:33 CAFETERIA. NOW MOST CAPTIVES WOULD 03:35 HAVE BEEN THRILLED. ALL THE OTHER STUDENTS 03:37 FROM THE OTHER PARTS OF THE WORLD NEBUCHADNEZZAR 03:38 CONQUERED - THEY WERE THRILLED THAT THEY 03:40 GOT TO EAT AT THE BABYLONIAN BUFFET. 03:43 IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE THE BEST FOOD IN THE WORLD, 03:46 BUT RIGHT AWAY DANIEL AND HIS FRIENDS REALIZED THEY 03:48 COULDN'T EAT THAT BECAUSE THERE WAS FOOD IN THERE 03:50 THAT GOD HAD DESIGNATED AS UNCLEAN. 03:54 AND IT SAYS IN DANIEL 1, VERSE 8, "BUT DANIEL 03:57 PURPOSED IN HIS HEART THAT HE WOULD NOT DEFILE 04:00 HIMSELF WITH THE PORTION OF THE KING'S DELICACIES, 04:04 NOR WITH THE WINE WHICH HE DRANK;" - SO DANIEL WENT 04:07 TO THE CHIEF OF THE EUNUCHS, WHICH WAS IN 04:09 CHARGE OF THE PREPARATION AND THEIR TRAINING, 04:11 AND HE SAID, 'LET US JUST EAT VEGETABLES. 04:15 GIVE US TEN DAYS.' AND YOU'LL FIND THE KING JAMES 04:17 WORD THERE IS 'PULSE' - SOME OF YOUR TRANSLATIONS 04:19 IT JUST SAYS VEGETABLES - AND HE SAID, 'OH, I CAN'T 04:22 DO THAT.' - HE SAYS - 'THE KING'S GOING TO LOOK AT 04:23 YOU AND SAY, 'HOW COME THESE YOUNG MEN ARE SICK?' 04:26 AND I'M GOING TO SAY, 'WELL, THEY'RE NOT EATING THE 04:27 FOOD THAT YOU PROVIDED.' 'WHAT? 04:29 MY FOOD WASN'T GOOD ENOUGH FOR THEM?' 04:30 AND HE SAID, 'HE'LL TAKE MY HEAD OFF.' DANIEL SAID, 04:32 'YOU TEST US. GIVE US TEN DAYS. 04:34 IF WE DON'T LOOK OKAY, FINE.' SO, FOR TEN DAYS 04:39 THEY ATE NOTHING BUT VEGETABLES. 04:42 THEY ATE VEGETABLE STEW AND A VEGETARIAN DIET - DRANK 04:45 WATER - AND THE BIBLE SAYS - DANIEL 1, VERSE 15 - 04:50 "AND AT THE END OF TEN DAYS THEIR COUNTENANCES 04:53 APPEARED FAIRER AND FATTER IN FLESH THAN ALL THE 04:56 CHILDREN WHICH DID EAT THE PORTION OF THE KING'S 04:58 MEAT." THEY WERE HEALTHIER THAN 05:01 THOSE WHO WERE EATING FROM THE CAFETERIA OF BABYLON. 05:04 NOW WHY DOES THE BIBLE INCLUDE THIS STORY? 05:08 THE BIBLE SAYS THAT WHEN NEBUCHADNEZZAR HAD THEM 05:10 TESTED - PROBABLY BY HIMSELF AS WELL AS HIS 05:13 OTHER WISE MEN IN THE KINGDOM - THEY FOUND THAT 05:16 AMONG ALL THE CAPTIVES THAT HAD BEEN TRAINED, 05:18 DANIEL, HANANIAH, MISHAEL, AND AZARIAH WERE TEN TIMES 05:23 WISER - TEN TIMES WISER - THAN ANY OF THE OTHERS WHO 05:28 HAD TRAINED. BEING A CHRISTIAN IS NOT 05:31 JUST ABOUT A CHANGE IN YOUR THINKING. 05:34 BEING A CHRISTIAN IS AN ENTIRE TRANSFORMATION AND 05:38 'WHATEVER YOU EAT AND WHATEVER YOU DRINK, DO ALL 05:40 TO THE GLORY OF GOD.' IT DOES MAKE A DIFFERENCE 05:43 WHAT YOU DO WITH YOUR BODY. 05:44 YOUR BODY IS THE TEMPLE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT. 05:47 AND A TRUTH THAT HAS BEEN LOST IN RECENT YEARS TO 05:51 CHRISTIANITY - BOTH PROTESTANTS AND CATHOLICS 05:55 AND EVANGELICALS - IS A VERY CLEAR BIBLICAL TEACHING 05:58 THAT WE ARE TO TAKE CARE OF OUR BODIES. 06:02 WE ARE TO BE CAREFUL. WE ARE TO USE SELF-CONTROL 06:05 AND ESPECIALLY IS THAT IMPORTANT WHEN WE'RE 06:07 LIVING IN A SOCIETY THAT IS DROWNING IN ABUNDANCE. 06:11 #1 - WHAT WAS THE ORIGINAL DIET THAT GOD DESIGNED FOR 06:14 HUMANS IN THE BEGINNING - WE'RE GOING ALL THE WAY 06:16 BACK TO GENESIS NOW - FIRST CHAPTER IN THE 06:18 BIBLE, GENESIS 1:29, AND GOD SAID, 'BEHOLD, I HAVE 06:23 GIVEN YOU EVERY HERB BEARING SEED,'" - AND 06:27 THAT'S TALKING ABOUT EVERY PLANT. 06:29 AND IT GOES ON TO SAY, "...AND EVERY TREE, IN THE 06:32 WHICH IS THE FRUIT OF A TREE YIELDING SEED; TO YOU 06:38 IT SHALL BE FOR MEAT.'" - AND THAT WORD 'MEAT' THERE 06:41 IS THE OLD ENGLISH WORD. IT MEANS 'FOOD' - IT'S 06:43 LIKE THE MEAT OF A NUT - IT JUST MEANS 'THE FOOD'. 06:45 SO THE ORIGINAL DIET FOR ADAM AND EVE WAS WHAT? 06:49 FRUITS, GRAINS, NUTS - IT WAS A 'FRUITARIAN' DIET. 06:54 THEY PROBABLY DIDN'T EVEN COOK ANY FOOD BACK THERE. 06:56 HOW LONG DID GOD INTEND FOR ADAM AND EVE TO LIVE 06:59 WHEN HE FIRST MADE THEM? >>FOREVER. 07:00 >>FOREVER. AND THEN, AFTER SIN, GOD 07:06 ADDED ONE MORE THING TO THE DIET BECAUSE HE SAID, 07:08 'YOU CAN'T EAT FROM THE TREE OF LIFE ANY LONGER.' 07:11 AFTER ADAM AND EVE SINNED IT SAYS, 'WHAT 07:12 SUPPLEMENTAL FOOD DID GOD THEN ADD TO THEIR DIET?' 07:15 GENESIS 3:18, IT SAYS, "...THOU SHALT EAT THE 07:21 HERB OF THE FIELD." THAT MEANS THE VEGETABLE. 07:24 BUT A VEGETABLE IS TECHNICALLY - OH, LET ME 07:28 GIVE YOU A TEST AND FIND OUT - FRUIT OR VEGETABLE - 07:32 BANANA? >>FRUIT. 07:33 >>FRUIT. APPLE? >>FRUIT. 07:36 >>ZUCCHINI? >>VEGETABLE. 07:38 >>FRUIT. EGGPLANT? >>VEGETABLE. 07:43 >>FRUIT. BRUSSELS SPROUTS? 07:46 >>VEGETABLE. >>INEDIBLE. 07:48 (LAUGHTER) BRUSSELS SPROUTS ARE ACTUALLY A VEGETABLE. 07:54 CELERY? >>VEGETABLE. 07:56 >>IT'S A VEGETABLE. POTATO? 07:58 >>VEGETABLE. >>IT'S A VEGETABLE. 08:00 SO ANY PART OF THE PLANT OTHER THAN THE SEED AND 08:02 THE PRODUCT OF THE FLOWER - A FRUIT IS THE PRODUCT OF 08:04 THE FLOWER - IS GOING TO BE A VEGETABLE - THE 08:07 STALK, THE LEAVES, THE FLOWERS - THOSE ARE ALL 08:09 CONSIDERED TO BE VEGETABLES. 08:10 THE ROOT - YOU KNOW, THEY'RE TUBERS - A POTATO. 08:14 SO HE ADDED THAT TO THE DIET AND THERE WERE ALL 08:16 KINDS OF IMPORTANT ENZYMES AND THINGS IN THERE. 08:19 SO THERE ARE BENEFITS - THERE'S NO QUESTION THAT 08:22 THERE ARE BENEFITS TO EATING A VEGETABLE-BASED DIET. 08:24 FOR AWHILE, PEOPLE THOUGHT THAT SEVENTH-DAY 08:26 ADVENTISTS WERE KOOKS, BUT I DON'T KNOW IF YOU READ 08:29 THE NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO. 08:31 IT SAID - THEY PICKED OUT THE THREE LONGEST LIVING 08:34 PEOPLE IN THE WORLD. DID YOU KNOW THAT? 08:37 YOU CAN GO LOOK THIS UP. NUMBER 1, THERE WERE 08:39 PEOPLE IN SARDINIA IN - OFF OF ITALY IN THE 08:42 MEDITERRANEAN, THE PEOPLE OF OKINAWA, AND THE 08:46 SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTISTS, PRINCIPALLY IN THE LOMA 08:48 LINDA AREA WHERE THEY HAVE A UNIVERSITY AND THERE'S 08:50 A LARGE CONCENTRATION. THEY STUDIED THEM. 08:52 THEY LIVED THE LONGEST OF ANY PEOPLE GROUPS IN THE WORLD. 08:56 AND WHEN THEY ASKED WHY DO THESE PEOPLE LIVE LONGER, 08:58 THEY SAID, 'WELL, SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTISTS - 09:00 IT'S THE COMMUNITY, THE REST FROM THE SABBATH, AND 09:03 THEY'RE LARGELY - NOT ENTIRELY, BUT LARGELY - A 09:05 VEGETARIAN LIFESTYLE - HEALTHY LIFESTYLE. 09:08 AND SO, WHAT WE'RE SHARING WITH YOU IS NOT SOME 09:10 RELIGIOUS BELIEF, THIS IS HARD, SCIENTIFIC FACT - 09:14 THAT IF YOU EAT - THE CLOSER TO THE BIBLICAL 09:17 DIET THAT GOD PRESCRIBED, THE LONGER YOU'RE GOING TO 09:22 LIVE, THE BETTER YOU'RE GOING TO FEEL, THE LESS 09:23 DISEASE YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE. 09:25 IN THE MANUAL HE TELLS YOU WHAT THE IDEAL DIET IS FOR 09:28 MAN, AND FOLLOWING THAT DIET WILL CERTAINLY MAKE 09:31 YOU FEEL BETTER. I'LL SHARE A LITTLE MORE 09:32 PERSONALLY WITH YOU AS WE PROCEED. 09:35 WHAT DOES THE BIBLE SAY, MORE SPECIFICALLY, ABOUT 09:37 EATING? ARE THERE SOME MAMMALS - 09:39 SOME FOODS THAT ARE CLEAN AND SOME THAT ARE UNCLEAN? 09:41 YOU KNOW, DANIEL SAID HE WOULDN'T DEFILE HIMSELF 09:44 WITH THE MEAT WHICH THE KING'S SERVANTS WERE 09:46 EATING. WHAT MAMMALS DOES GOD 09:48 PERMIT HUMANS TO EAT? THAT'S QUESTION #9. 09:51 YOU LOOK IN LEVITICUS 11, VERSE 3, IT TELLS US THAT 09:54 THERE'S TWO CRITERIA THAT ARE SUPPOSED TO BE ON A 09:56 MAMMAL THAT IS GOING TO BE EATEN. 09:58 IT SAYS, WHATEVER DOES WHAT? 09:59 PARTS THE HOOF, AND IS CLOVEN FOOTED - AND CHEWS 10:04 THE CUD - THESE ARE CLEAN. NOW, THAT WOULD MEAN THAT 10:09 GOAT, SHEEP, DEER, ELK, MOOSE, THESE THINGS ARE 10:15 WHAT YOU WOULD CALL 'CLEAN' ANIMALS. 10:17 BUT THEN HE GOES ON TO SAY SOME THINGS THAT MAY CHEW 10:20 THE CUD - LIKE A CAMEL - BUT IT DOESN'T HAVE A CLOVEN HOOF. 10:22 IT NEEDED BOTH CRITERIA - THEY'RE UNCLEAN. 10:26 I KNOW SOME OF YOU ARE PROBABLY THINKING, 'OH, 10:27 DOUG, YOU TELL ME I HAVE TO GET RID OF MY CAMEL 10:29 STEAK TONIGHT AFTER THE PROGRAM.' (LAUGHTER) YES. 10:32 THAT'S WHY JESUS MADE FUN OF THE PHARISEES. 10:34 HE SAID, 'YOU'RE HYPOCRITES. 10:36 YOU STRAIN A GNAT' - WHAT HE MEANT BY THAT WAS THEY 10:39 USED TO POUR THEIR WATER THROUGH THESE STRAINING 10:41 CLOTHS - THEY SAID, 'LEST WE HAVE A GNAT IN THERE 10:43 AND IT'S UNCLEAN.' THEY WOULD STRAIN THEIR WATER 10:46 TO PREVENT EATING A GNAT, BUT WHEN NO ONE WAS 10:48 LOOKING THEY'D EAT A CAMEL STEAK, WHICH WAS UNCLEAN, 10:51 BIBLICALLY. HE SAYS, 'YOU STRAIN A 10:53 GNAT AND YOU SWALLOW A CAMEL. 10:54 YOU EVER HEARD THAT EXPRESSION BEFORE? 10:55 THAT'S WHAT HE'S TALKING ABOUT. 10:56 HE'S SAYING 'YOU'RE HYPOCRITES. 10:57 YOU KNOW CAMEL IS UNCLEAN BUT YOU'RE SO AFRAID OF A 10:58 LITTLE GNAT AND WHEN NO ONE'S LOOKING YOU EAT 11:01 CAMEL STEAK.' IF YOU'RE GOING TO EAT MEAT, IT 11:05 NEEDS TO HAVE THOSE TWO CRITERIA - 11:07 BE CLOVEN HOOFED AND CHEW THE CUD. 11:10 NOW THERE ARE SOME OF YOU WHO ARE THINKING, 'WELL, 11:11 PASTOR DOUG, BUT DIDN'T - AREN'T HUMANS DESIGNED TO 11:13 EAT MEAT AND ISN'T THAT WHY GOD GAVE US THESE, YOU 11:16 KNOW, CANINE TEETH FOR THE RIPPING AND TEARING OF MEAT. 11:18 SEE THIS CHARACTER ON THE SCREEN? 11:25 HE'S GOT CANINE TEETH TOO. HE'S A VEGETARIAN. 11:29 SO IT'S JUST - THERE'S ALL KINDS OF MYTHS OUT THERE. 11:31 MATTER OF FACT, THE ANIMAL WITH THE BIGGEST TEETH IS 11:32 AN ELEPHANT AND HIPPO - THEY'RE ALL VEGETARIANS. 11:36 >>WE'VE ALL HEARD ABOUT THE HEALTHCARE CRISIS. 11:38 DID YOU KNOW THE BIBLE TELLS US WHAT THE ANSWER IS FOR THE 11:41 HEALTHCARE CRISIS? FIRST OF ALL, IF PEOPLE WEREN'T 11:44 SO SICK, THERE WOULDN'T BE A CRISIS. 11:46 THE REASON IS BECAUSE MANY PEOPLE ARE NOT FOLLOWING THE 11:49 SIMPLE PRINCIPLES OF HEALTH YOU CAN FIND IN GOD'S WORD. 11:52 THAT'S RIGHT, THERE ARE ABOUT SEVEN MAJOR SECRETS FOR GOOD 11:55 HEALTH AND LONG LIFE IN THE BIBLE. 11:57 IF YOU'D LIKE TO KNOW WHAT THESE HEALTH SECRETS ARE, THEN JUST 12:00 SEND FOR OUR FREE STUDY GUIDE GOD'S FREE HEALTH PLAN , IT'LL 12:04 BLESS YOU AND IT'LL CHANGE YOUR LIFE. 12:06 TO GET YOUR FREE COPY, GO TO AMAZINGFACTS.ORG OR CALL THE 12:11 NUMBER ON YOUR SCREEN AND ASK FOR OFFER #139. 12:15 AND FRIENDS, WHEN YOU RECEIVE THIS FREE RESOURCE, 12:17 PLEASE READ IT AND THEN SHARE IT WITH A FRIEND. 12:20 WE WANT TO GET THE WORD OUT BECAUSE GOD'S MESSAGE IS OUR 12:23 MISSION. 12:25 LOOK AT WHAT HAPPENED BIBLICALLY WHEN - BEFORE 12:28 THE FLOOD, YOU CAN SEE - OF COURSE THERE WAS LOTS 12:31 OF VEGETATION BACK THEN - YOU'VE GOT METHUSELAH - 12:35 969 YEARS, NOAH - 950 YEARS, SETH - 912 YEARS. 12:39 IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE FLOOD IT DROPS DOWN TO 500 12:43 YEARS, 200 YEARS, ABRAHAM - 175 YEARS, JACOB - 12:47 147 YEARS, DAVID 70 YEARS. 12:50 AND DAVID SAID, 'NOW OUR YEARS ARE THREE-SCORE AND 12:53 TEN.' THAT'S ABOUT 70 - AS AN AVERAGE. 12:56 AND HE SAID, 'IF, BY REASON OF STRENGTH, IT'S 12:57 FOUR-SCORE' - THAT'S 80 - HE SAID, 'IT'S STILL WITH 13:00 MUCH PAIN AND SUFFERING.' AND SO OUR TIME IS LIMITED. 13:04 BUT YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENED AFTER THE FLOOD? 13:07 ALL THE VEGETATION WAS DESTROYED. 13:08 NOAH WAS TOLD TO TAKE THE CLEAN ANIMALS ON THE ARK 13:12 BY SEVENS - UNCLEAN JUST TWO. WHY? 13:15 IF THEY WERE ALLOWED TO EAT THE UNCLEAN ANIMALS 13:17 THERE WOULD BE A LOT MORE EXTINCT SPECIES, RIGHT? 13:20 THEY WOULD HAVE EATEN THEM DURING THE FLOOD. 13:21 BUT YOU'RE ONLY ALLOWED TO SACRIFICE THE CLEAN 13:24 ANIMALS. WHAT TYPES OF FISH AND 13:26 SEAFOOD ARE CONSIDERED CLEAN, BIBLICALLY? 13:29 LEVITICUS 11, VERSE 9, "THESE YOU MAY EAT OF ALL 13:33 THAT ARE IN THE WATER: WHATEVER...HAS FINS AND 13:39 SCALES," - IT NEEDED BOTH CHARACTERISTICS TO BE 13:41 CLEAN AND THE REASON FOR THAT WAS THERE'S A LOT OF 13:45 STRANGE THINGS THAT ARE OUT THERE IN THE OCEAN AND 13:48 SOME OF THEM ARE POISONOUS. YOU KNOW, THE U.S. 13:51 NAVY DID A STUDY A FEW YEARS AGO WHERE THEY SAID, 13:54 'WHAT DO WE GIVE, AS A RULE OF THUMB, TO SAILORS 13:57 OR PILOTS THAT ARE SHOT DOWN - IF THEY NEED TO EAT 13:59 SEAFOOD WHILE THEY'RE FLOATING AROUND ON THESE 14:01 RAFTS - BECAUSE DURING WORLD WAR II A LOT OF 14:03 THEM, THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHAT THEY COULD AND 14:05 COULDN'T EAT. THEY SPENT MILLIONS OF 14:07 GOVERNMENT DOLLARS. THEY DID A STUDY AND YOU 14:08 KNOW WHAT THEY CAME BACK WITH? 14:10 THIS IS WHAT THE NAVY STUDY CONCLUDED: IF IT HAS 14:13 FINS AND SCALES IT'S PROBABLY SAFE TO EAT. 14:17 THEY COULD HAVE SAVED SO MUCH MONEY AND JUST READ 14:19 WHAT THE BIBLE SAID. (LAUGHTER) NOW YOU CAN 14:22 READ ON THERE IN LEVITICUS AND IT SAYS THERE IN 14:25 LEVITICUS 11, VERSE 10, "BUT ALL IN THE SEAS OR 14:29 IN THE RIVERS THAT DO NOT HAVE FINS AND SCALES," - 14:32 THAT MEANS RIVERS, SEAS, LAKES - ALL THE OTHER 14:34 WATER CREATURES - "THAT DO NOT HAVE FINS AND SCALES, 14:37 ALL THAT MOVE IN THE WATER OR ANY LIVING THING WHICH IS IN THE 14:40 WATER, THEY ARE AN ABOMINATION TO YOU." 14:44 WHY DOESN'T GOD WANT US TO EAT CERTAIN THINGS? 14:47 THESE ANIMALS - CRABS, LOBSTERS - YOU KNOW HOW 14:49 THEY CATCH THEM? THEY'RE SCAVENGERS. 14:52 THEY PUT SOME DECOMPOSING FISH HEAD IN A TRAP AND 14:55 THEY ARE MADE BY GOD TO BE THE GARBAGE CANS IN THE 14:58 WORLD TO CLEAN THE ENVIRONMENT. 14:59 THEY EAT ALL THE TOXINS. CLAMS - THEY SOAK 15:02 UP ALL THE TOXINS. WE HAVE ONE PRESIDENT 15:04 THAT DIED FROM EATING CONTAMINATED OYSTERS. 15:07 AND THESE THINGS ARE JUST - THEY'RE NOT HEALTHY. 15:11 SHRIMP - WHEN THEY SERVE SHRIMP, THEY SERVE IT 15:13 COMPLETE WITH THE INTESTINES - ARE STILL - 15:16 THE DIGESTIVE TRACK IS STILL IN THERE. 15:18 THAT'S NOT GOD'S - THAT STUFF'S NOT GOOD FOR YOU. 15:20 THERE'S - DOWN IN THE BOTTOM OF THE BAY WHERE 15:22 YOU GET THE OYSTERS AND THE CLAMS ARE ALL THE TOXINS. 15:25 THEY'RE - THESE ANIMALS ARE MADE BY GOD TO FILTER 15:27 AND HELP CLEAN THE ENVIRONMENT. 15:28 SAME THING WITH CERTAIN BIRDS THAT ARE CONSIDERED 15:31 UNCLEAN. WHICH BIRDS ARE UNCLEAN? 15:35 IN LEVITICUS 11, VERSES 15 AND 16, IT SAYS, "EVERY 15:40 RAVEN AFTER ITS KIND, AND THE OWL, AND THE 15:46 NIGHTHAWK, AND THE CUCKOW...AFTER ITS 15:50 KIND," - THE RAPTORS AND THE CARNIVOROUS BIRDS WERE 15:53 CONSIDERED UNCLEAN. THE CLEAN BIRDS - THERE'S 15:56 NOT A RULE LIKE FINS AND SCALES - BUT THE CLEAN 16:00 BIRDS WERE THE FORAGING BIRDS - TURKEY, THE 16:03 CHICKENS, PHEASANT, SO FORTH - THEY WOULD BE CLEAN. 16:06 ARE THE LAWS ABOUT CLEAN AND UNCLEAN ANIMALS PART 16:09 OF MOSES' CEREMONIAL LAW WHICH ENDED AT THE CROSS? 16:13 THIS IS WHAT SOME PEOPLE THINK. 16:15 GENESIS 7, VERSES 1 AND 2 - SOME PEOPLE SAY, 'OH, 16:19 THOSE ARE LAWS JUST FOR THE JEWS' - THOSE CLEAN 16:22 AND UNCLEAN LAWS. WAS NOAH JEWISH? 16:26 LET'S READ THIS TOGETHER: "...COME THOU AND ALL THY 16:30 HOUSE INTO THE ARK...OF EVERY CLEAN BEAST THOU 16:35 SHALL TAKE TO THEE BY SEVENS." 16:38 SO DOES GOD MAKE A DISTINCTION BETWEEN CLEAN 16:40 AND UNCLEAN ANIMALS EVEN BEFORE THERE WERE ANY JEWS? 16:45 QUIZ: HOW MANY OF YOU ARE RELATED TO NOAH? 16:49 >>ALL OF US. >>THAT'S RIGHT! 16:52 EVERYBODY HERE - AND SO IF GOD MADE IT - THIS IS A TEST. 16:56 I DON'T KNOW IF ANY OF YOU MANAGED - YOUR ANCESTORS 16:57 SURVIVED THE FLOOD, BESIDES NOAH - EVERYBODY 17:01 HERE IS RELATED TO NOAH. GOD MADE A DISTINCTION - 17:03 THESE ARE THINGS THAT WERE FOR MANKIND - YOU CAN SEE 17:05 IT GOING ALL THE WAY BACK TO GENESIS. 17:07 SHOULD A CHRISTIAN, BIBLICALLY, USE ALCOHOLIC 17:10 BEVERAGES? SOME CHURCHES WOULD SAY, 17:13 'SURE, WHAT'S WRONG WITH THAT? JESUS DRANK WINE.' 17:15 IT WAS NOT ALCOHOLIC, IT WAS GRAPE JUICE. 17:18 THE BIBLE SAYS - PROVERBS 21 - AND THE BIBLE DOESN'T 17:21 CONTRADICT ITSELF - "WINE IS A MOCKER, STRONG DRINK 17:26 IS RAGING" - IT'S TALKING ABOUT FERMENTED WINE HERE 17:29 - "AND WHOEVER IS DECEIVED THEREBY IS NOT WISE." 17:32 THE BIBLE SAYS 'GIVE WINE TO HIM THAT IS READY TO 17:35 PERISH.' THE BIBLE TELLS US THAT NOAH DRANK WINE 17:39 AND HE STUMBLED AROUND NAKED AND SOMETHING 17:41 EMBARRASSING HAPPENED. LOT'S DAUGHTERS GAVE THEIR 17:45 FATHER WINE AND HE SLEPT WITH HIS DAUGHTERS. 17:49 GOOD THINGS DO NOT HAPPEN WHEN PEOPLE DRINK ALCOHOL. 17:52 CHRISTIANS SHOULD NOT UNDERWRITE THAT. 17:54 AND YOU MIGHT BE SAYING, 'PASTOR DOUG, I JUST HAVE, 17:55 YOU KNOW, A LITTLE BIT OF WINE ONCE A WEEK. 17:58 JUST A LITTLE - I HAVE NO PROBLEM - I DON'T HAVE A 18:00 DRINKING PROBLEM.' THAT MAY BE, BUT ARE YOU AWARE 18:04 THAT ONE OUT OF SEVEN PEOPLE DOES HAVE A DRINKING PROBLEM? 18:07 ALCOHOL IS ADDICTIVE. DO WE ALL KNOW THAT? 18:10 SOME PEOPLE - IT JUST WRECKS THEIR LIVES. 18:12 IT WRECKS THEIR MARRIAGES. 18:13 IT WRECKS THEIR CAREERS. IT WRECKS THEIR HEALTH. 18:17 THERE WILL BE PEOPLE IN HEAVEN THAT SMOKED. 18:20 I WANT TO MAKE IT CLEAR. THERE ARE GOING TO BE 18:22 PEOPLE THAT DRANK ALCOHOL - MARTIN LUTHER DRANK BEER. 18:24 I DON'T THINK THEY UNDERSTOOD BACK THEN WHAT 18:26 WE UNDERSTAND. THE MAN WHO WROTE AMAZING 18:28 GRACE, JOHN NEWTON, HE SMOKED. DO YOU KNOW, BACK WHEN HE 18:31 SMOKED, DOCTORS ACTUALLY PRESCRIBED TOBACCO FOR ASTHMA. 18:36 CAN YOU IMAGINE THAT? HOW MANY OF YOU KNEW THAT? 18:39 YEAH, BUT WE KNOW BETTER NOW. 18:43 CIGARETTES ARE THE NUMBER TWO LEADING CAUSE OF DEATH 18:47 - PREVENTABLE CAUSE OF DEATH - IN NORTH AMERICA - 18:50 TOBACCO. IT MAKES YOU PREMATURELY AGE. 18:53 IT'LL MAKE YOUR VOICE RASPY AND MAKES YOUR 18:57 CLOTHES SMELL FUNNY. TOBACCO - THERE'S 19:00 NOTHING GOOD ABOUT IT. THERE'S NO NUTRITIONAL 19:02 VALUE AND IT COSTS A FORTUNE. 19:04 WHEN I WAS A KID IT WAS TWENTY-FIVE CENTS A PACK. 19:06 MAN, I CAN'T BELIEVE WHAT PEOPLE PAY FOR A PACK OF 19:08 CIGARETTES NOW. YOU CAN BUY A NEW CAR AFTER 19:11 QUITTING FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS. (LAUGHTER) ARE THE BIBLE 19:14 HEALTH PRINCIPLES STILL PRACTICAL TODAY? 19:17 NOW WE'RE GOING TO GO THROUGH A LIST OF SEVERAL 19:18 BIBLE PRINCIPLES AND THESE ARE HEALTH PRINCIPLES AND 19:22 YOU ARE GOING TO BE SURPRISED HOW MUCH OF THE 19:24 WORLD, NOW, IS REALIZING THESE ARE BASIC HEALTH 19:26 LAWS - THEY'RE ALL IN THE BIBLE. 19:29 FIRST OF ALL, QUARANTINE PROCEDURES CONTROL 19:33 CONTAGIOUS DISEASE. WITH THIS EBOLA 19:37 DISCUSSION, WHAT ARE THEY TALKING ABOUT? 19:39 LOOK AT THE INCREDIBLE LENGTHS THEY'RE GOING TO 19:42 TO MAINTAIN A STERILE ENVIRONMENT AND QUARANTINE 19:45 PROCEDURES. IN THE BIBLE, GOD GAVE THAT. 19:48 HE SAID IF SOMEONE IS UNCLEAN, THEY NEED TO 19:49 WASH, THEY NEED TO STAY OUTSIDE THE CAMP, THEY'RE 19:51 CONTAGIOUS - THERE'S ALL KINDS OF LAWS ABOUT CONTAGION. 19:54 THEY UNDERSTOOD THIS IN THE BIBLE. 19:56 NUMBER TWO - BASIC THING, AGAIN, CONNECTED WITH 19:59 EBOLA - IF THESE THINGS WERE BEING PRACTICED IN 20:02 SOME OF THE COUNTRIES - IT SAYS HUMAN BODY WASTE 20:05 SHOULD BE BURIED. NOW, I KNOW, IT MAY NOT BE 20:09 PLEASANT TO THINK ABOUT THAT, BUT IF YOU'VE 20:11 TRAVELED - MANY PARTS OF THE WORLD I GO TO, EVEN 20:14 IN BIG CITIES, THEY STILL DON'T HAVE REGULAR 20:17 SANITATION AND - I KNOW, IT WOULD SHOCK YOU. 20:21 AND I WON'T NAME THOSE COUNTRIES BECAUSE I DON'T 20:22 WANT TO OFFEND ANYBODY NOW, BUT WAY BACK IN THE 20:25 BIBLE, EVEN GOING THROUGH THE DESERT, GOD GAVE THEM 20:27 CERTAIN RULES ABOUT THAT. C - WASHING - REGULAR 20:32 WASHING OF THE BODY AND CLOTHING CONTROLS GERMS. 20:35 YOU KNOW, THAT'S IN THE BIBLE? 20:37 THEY HAD TO REGULARLY WASH. 20:38 EVEN AS THEY WENT THROUGH THE WILDERNESS, GOD ALWAYS 20:40 MADE SURE THEY HAD A WATER SUPPLY. 20:43 MOSES WOULD STRIKE THE ROCK AND WATER WOULD RUN 20:45 OUT AND THIS RIVER SEEMED TO BE REPRODUCED AND 20:47 FOLLOWED THEM WHEREVER THEY WENT IN THEIR JOURNEYS 20:49 SO THEY COULD NOT ONLY DRINK, BUT SO THEY COULD WASH. 20:53 AND FREQUENTLY IT TALKED ABOUT WASHING. 20:55 THE BIBLE TELLS US THAT A LOT OF DISEASE COULD ALSO 20:58 BE PREVENTED, AS WE KNOW TODAY, BY MORAL LIVING. 21:02 IT PREVENTS SEXUAL DISEASES. LEVITICUS 18; PROVERBS 5, 21:07 VERSES 1 THROUGH 12 AND MANY OTHER VERSES. 21:10 THERE ARE A NUMBER OF SEXUALLY TRANSMITTED 21:12 DISEASES AND SOME PEOPLE HAVE RECEIVED FATAL 21:16 INFECTIONS BECAUSE OF IMMORAL LIFESTYLE. 21:20 ANSWER E - ANOTHER BIBLE PRINCIPLE ABOUT HEALTH - 21:23 ANIMAL FAT SHOULD NOT BE EATEN - NOT ONLY FAT, BUT 21:27 BLOOD. YOU KNOW, DISEASE CAN BE 21:29 TRANSFERRED FROM ANIMAL TO ANIMAL. 21:32 YOU DON'T CATCH A DISEASE FROM A PLANT. - 21:33 YOU MIGHT GET POISON IVY - BUT DISEASE CAN BE TRANSFERRED 21:36 FROM ANIMAL TO ANIMAL AND HE SAYS WE SHOULD NOT EAT BLOOD. 21:41 BY THE WAY, NEW TESTAMENT/OLD TESTAMENT, 21:43 BOTH SAY BLOOD IS FORBIDDEN. 21:44 ACTS 15 - READ IT YOURSELF - NO QUESTION ABOUT IT. 21:47 SOME PEOPLE SAY, 'THESE ARE OLD TESTAMENT LAWS.' 21:49 IT'S REPEATED IN THE NEW TESTAMENT. 21:51 F - ANOTHER PRINCIPLE - HATRED AND BITTERNESS IS 21:55 DETRIMENTAL TO ONE'S HEALTH. 21:57 SOME PEOPLE ARE SICK, NOT JUST BECAUSE OF WHAT 21:58 THEY'RE EATING, BUT BECAUSE OF WHAT'S EATING THEM. 22:02 AND HAVING ANGER AND BITTERNESS IN YOUR HEART - 22:06 STRESS - IT REALLY DOES CAUSE HEALTH PROBLEMS. 22:09 G - PROVERBS TALKS ABOUT OVEREATING IS BAD FOR YOUR 22:13 HEALTH. (LAUGHTER) IT'S ONE THING 22:15 TO EAT HONEY, IT SAYS DON'T EAT TOO MUCH. 22:17 AND YOU CAN EVEN EAT TOO MUCH OF GOOD THINGS. 22:20 AND SUMO WRESTLERS USUALLY DON'T DIE OF OLD AGE 22:25 BECAUSE IT'S JUST, OBVIOUSLY, NOT GOOD. 22:29 H - OUR BODIES NEED PROPER REST. 22:32 PSALMS 127, VERSE 2 AND MARK 6:31 - THE SABBATH IS 22:37 ALL ABOUT THAT - GETTING PLENTY OF SLEEP. 22:40 ANSWER I - THE IMPORTANCE OF WORK. 22:45 NOT ONLY DOES IT SAY REST THE SEVENTH DAY, IT SAYS 22:46 SIX DAYS THOU SHALT WHAT? WORK. ANSWER J - A POSITIVE 22:52 ATTITUDE IS GOOD MEDICINE. THE LORD WANTS US TO HAVE 22:56 GOOD ATTI - A HAPPY HEART IS GOOD LIKE A MEDICINE. 22:58 AND EVEN WHEN I TEACH SOME OF THESE DIFFICULT TRUTHS, 23:00 YOU KNOW, I THINK WE SOMETIMES NEED TO BE ABLE 23:03 TO SMILE BECAUSE LIFE IS TOUGH ENOUGH. 23:06 ANSWER K - THE PARENTS HABITS WILL AFFECT THE 23:10 CHILDREN. AND SO, WHATEVER PARENTS 23:13 DO, UNTO THE THIRD AND FOURTH GENERATION IT OFTEN 23:15 AFFECTS THE CHILDREN. PARENTS THAT SMOKE - 23:19 MUCH HIGHER CHANCE THEIR CHILDREN WILL SMOKE. 23:21 PARENTS THAT DRINK - MUCH HIGHER CHANCE. 23:23 A LOT OF FAMILIES SAID, 'OH WELL, YOU KNOW, I GAIN 23:25 WEIGHT BECAUSE IT JUST IS IN MY FAMILY.' YOU DID NOT 23:28 INHERIT GAINING WEIGHT FROM YOUR PARENTS, YOU 23:29 INHERITED, USUALLY, YOUR EATING HABITS FROM YOUR 23:32 PARENTS, WHICH MEANS YOU'LL END UP WITH THE 23:35 SAME SIZE. AND SO, A LOT OF THAT IS 23:38 PASSED ON BY LIFESTYLE THAT WE LEARN. 23:42 IS GOD CONCERNED WITH OUR PHYSICAL HEALTH? 23:45 'I THINK GOD'S ONLY CONCERNED WITH SPIRITUAL 23:46 THINGS.' IS THAT WHAT THE BIBLE TEACHES? 23:49 MATTHEW 4:23, "AND JESUS WENT ABOUT ALL GALILEE, 23:54 TEACHING IN THEIR SYNAGOGUES, AND PREACHING 23:56 THE GOSPEL OF THE KINGDOM, AND" - DOING WHAT? 23:59 >>HEALING. >>"HEALING ALL MANNER OF 24:01 SICKNESS AND ALL MANNER OF DISEASE AMONG THE PEOPLE." 24:05 DOES THE LORD CARE ABOUT OUR HEALTH? 24:08 >>YES. >>YES. AND HE, MANY TIMES, WILL 24:10 MIRACULOUSLY HEAL PEOPLE. SOMETIMES SICKNESS COMES 24:14 JUST BECAUSE OF GENETICS, SOMETIMES SICKNESS COMES 24:16 BECAUSE YOU'RE EXPOSED TO SOMEONE ELSE WHO IS SICK, 24:18 THERE MIGHT BE SOME ENVIRONMENTAL PROBLEM BUT, 24:20 YOU KNOW, THE MAJORITY OF SICKNESS IN OUR COUNTRY IS 24:24 SELF-INDUCED BECAUSE OF LIFESTYLE. 24:28 YOU KNOW WHY THERE'S A HEALTH-CARE CRISIS AND THE 24:31 MEDICAL INSTITUTIONS ARE BANKRUPT AND SO EXPENSIVE? 24:35 BECAUSE OF OUR LIFESTYLES, IN PARTICULAR IN THE 24:37 WESTERN CULTURES, BECAUSE THE RICH LIFE, THE LACK OF 24:40 EXERCISE, AND THE ABUNDANCE, PEOPLE ARE 24:42 BRINGING ON DISEASES EARLY IN LIFE AND THEN THEY ARE 24:45 STRUGGLING WITH THESE DISEASES FOR MANY YEARS 24:48 AND IT'S CAUSING CATASTROPHIC EXPENSES. 24:51 WE'D BE ABLE TO PUT A LOT OF HOSPITALS OUT OF 24:53 BUSINESS IF WE'D JUST FOLLOW THE BIBLE. 24:56 3 JOHN 2, "BELOVED, I WISH ABOVE ALL THINGS" - GOD 25:01 SAYS, 'ABOVE ALL THINGS.' - "THAT YOU MAY" - WHAT? 25:04 - "PROSPER AND BE IN HEALTH," - HOW? "JUST AS YOUR 25:09 SOUL PROSPERS." SO WHAT KIND OF LEVEL 25:11 DOES HE PUT IT ON? 'I WANT HEALTH - PHYSICAL 25:13 PROSPERITY - AND I WANT SPIRITUAL PROSPERITY. 25:16 NOW, IF YOU CAN ONLY PICK ONE, PICK THE SPIRITUAL 25:18 BECAUSE WHAT PROFIT IS IT IF YOU HAVE PERFECT HEALTH 25:20 AND YOU'RE A TERRIBLE SINNER? 25:22 IT'S NOT GOING TO SAVE YOU FOR ETERNITY. 25:24 BUT GOD SAYS, 'YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU'VE TAKEN CARE OF 25:25 THE SPIRIT, MAKE SURE AND TAKE CARE OF THE BODY 25:27 BECAUSE HAVING YOUR MIND CLEAR AND YOUR BODY 25:31 HEALTHY MAKES IT EASIER TO SERVE GOD - 25:33 TO RESIST THE DEVIL AND DO GOD'S WILL. 25:36 ANOTHER ONE - JOHN 10:10 - IT SAYS, "...I HAVE COME 25:40 THAT THEY MAY HAVE LIFE, AND" - AND WHAT KIND OF 25:42 LIFE DOES HE WANT US TO HAVE? - "...MORE ABUNDANTLY." 25:45 YOU SEE THE FELLOW IN THAT PICTURE? 25:47 HIS NAME WAS BANANA GEORGE. 25:49 HE IS SKIING BAREFOOT - I'VE DONE THAT. 25:52 THAT IS VERY, VERY HARD FOR A YOUNG MAN TO DO - HE 25:55 IS, I THINK, 80 YEARS OLD IN THIS PICTURE. 25:57 HE CONTINUED SKIING UNTIL 92 - DIDN'T EVEN START 26:00 SKIING UNTIL HE WAS IN HIS FORTIES - HE LOVED BANANAS 26:04 AND THAT'S WHY HE ALWAYS WORE YELLOW. 26:05 HE PASSED AWAY WAY UP IN HIS 90S IN 2013, BUT I 26:09 ALWAYS WAS FASCINATED BY THAT PICTURE. 26:11 HERE'S A PICTURE SOMEONE JUST GAVE ME THIS YEAR. 26:13 THIS IS SOMEONE - KAREN AND I WERE PASTORS OF THIS 26:16 CHURCH IN NORTHERN CALIFORNIA AND ONE SISTER, 26:19 LAST TIME WE SAW HER SHE WAS 106. 26:21 AT THE TIME OF THIS ARTICLE - SHE PASSED AWAY 26:24 SINCE - SHE WAS 111 THEN. AND I REMEMBER I SAT WITH 26:28 HER AND HER BROTHER-IN-LAW AND HIS WIFE - HER NAME 26:32 WAS VIOLA COOK - IN THEIR HOME AND I WOULD EAT WITH THEM. 26:34 THEY HAD DELICIOUS VEGETARIAN FOOD - SHE WAS A VEGETARIAN 26:36 HER WHOLE LIFE. AND I REMEMBER HER 26:38 BROTHER-IN-LAW - I USED TO SAY, 'ART, HOW DO YOU GUYS 26:42 HAVE SUCH GREAT HEALTH AND STRENGTH?' 26:43 HERE I WAS A YOUNG WHIPPERSNAPPER - I'D TRY 26:44 AND DO WORK FOR THEM - I COULDN'T KEEP UP WITH THEM. 26:47 AND I NOTICED HE PUSHED AWAY FROM THE TABLE. 26:49 I SAID, 'YOU'RE DONE EATING?' 26:50 HE SAID, 'HERE'S THE SECRET TO LIFE, DOUG. 26:53 STOP EATING WHILE YOU'RE STILL A LITTLE HUNGRY. 26:55 WAKE UP WHEN YOU'RE STILL A LITTLE TIRED. 26:58 AND STOP TALKING WHEN YOU STILL HAVE SOMETHING LEFT 27:00 TO SAY. (LAUGHTER) SO THAT'S THE SECRET TO HAPPINESS IN LIFE. 27:06 WHY IS OUR HEALTH SO IMPORTANT TO GOD? 27:08 1 CORINTHIANS 6:19, "...YOUR BODY" - AND VERSE 27:13 20 - "IS THE" - WHAT? >>THE TEMPLE. 27:15 >>"THE TEMPLE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT...THEREFORE GLORIFY 27:20 GOD IN YOUR BODY AND IN YOUR SPIRIT, WHICH ARE GOD'S." 27:24 AGAIN, ROMANS 12:1, "...PRESENT YOUR BODY A 27:28 LIVING SACRIFICE" - HOW? - "HOLY AND ACCEPTABLE 27:32 TO GOD, WHICH IS YOUR REASONABLE SERVICE." 27:36 GOD SAYS, 'LOOK, YOU'VE BEEN - YOU'RE MADE IN 27:38 GOD'S IMAGE, YOU BELONG TO GOD, YOU ARE TO PRESENT, 27:42 NOT JUST YOUR SPIRIT, BUT PRESENT YOUR BODY - YOU 27:45 KNOW, WE WORSHIP GOD, NOT JUST WITH OUR MINDS, WE 27:48 WORSHIP GOD WITH OUR LIVES AND WHETHER YOU EAT OR 27:51 DRINK, WHATEVER YOU DO, DO ALL TO THE GLORY OF GOD. 27:56 >>CAN'T GET ENOUGH AMAZING FACTS BIBLE STUDY? 27:58 YOU DON'T HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL NEXT WEEK TO ENJOY MORE TRUTH- 28:01 FILLED PROGRAMMING, VISIT THE AMAZING FACTS MEDIA LIBRARY AT 28:05 'AFTV.ORG'.
