01:00 >>THIS PRESENTATION IS BROUGHT TO YOU BY THE FRIENDS OF THE
01:03 AMAZING FACTS MINISTRY. 01:11 >>WHEN YOU'RE GOING TO MAKE A DECISION AND SAY, 'I'M JOINING A 01:13 CHURCH', THE REASON TO PICK THE CHURCH IS THE TEACHINGS OF THAT 01:17 CHURCH - THE OFFICIAL TEACHINGS OF THAT CHURCH ARE THE TEACHINGS 01:20 YOU FIND OF JESUS IN THE BIBLE. >>FOR OVER 40 YEARS AMAZING 01:26 FACTS HAS BEEN DEDICATED TO SHARING GOD'S WORD 01:29 THROUGH MEDIA. THIS PROGRAM FEATURES HIGHLIGHTS 01:32 FROM SOME OF OUR BEST TELEVISION BROADCASTS. 01:35 WE INVITE YOU TO SIT BACK AND ENJOY THIS EDITION OF AMAZING 01:39 FACTS PRESENTS. 01:45 >>IT'S INTERESTING - IT SEEMS LIKE IN RECENT MONTHS, FOR A 01:49 VARIETY OF REASONS, SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTISTS HAVE BEEN COMING - 01:52 AND I EXPECT WILL BE COMING MORE INTO THE PUBLIC EYE. 01:56 AND SO, I THOUGHT, 'WELL, I'D LIKE TO TAKE A MOMENT TO TRY AND 02:00 TALK ABOUT WHAT IS A SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST AND SOME OF THE FACTS 02:03 AND TRY TO DEBUNK SOME OF THE FICTION. 02:05 AND THAT'LL BE THE TITLE OF OUR MESSAGE TODAY: SEVENTH-DAY 02:07 ADVENTISTS: FACTS AND FABLES . SO, WHAT IS A SEVENTH-DAY 02:13 ADVENTIST AND WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT? 02:15 WELL, IN A WORD, SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTISTS ARE, VERY SIMPLY, 02:18 BIBLE CHRISTIANS AND, OF COURSE, A LOT OF CHRISTIANS WILL SAY 02:23 THAT, BUT REALLY, THIS IS WHAT WE BELIEVE. 02:24 AND IF YOU WANT TO FIND OUT WHAT A CHURCH IS, LET'S GET SOMETHING 02:27 OUT OF THE WAY RIGHT FROM THE START. 02:30 WHEN YOU WANT TO FIND OUT WHAT A DENOMINATION BELIEVES, DON'T 02:35 SAY, 'WELL I KNEW A BAPTIST SO I KNOW WHAT BAPTISTS BELIEVE, 02:39 BECAUSE I THINK EVERY BAPTIST WILL ADMIT THERE ARE PEOPLE THAT 02:42 GO TO BAPTIST CHURCHES THAT DON'T VERY NICELY REPRESENT 02:45 BAPTISTS OR DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT THEY BELIEVE. 02:47 AND THAT WILL BE TRUE OF METHODISTS AND PRESBYTERIANS, 02:50 AND CHURCH OF CHRIST, AND SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTISTS. 02:53 AND SO, IF YOU WANT TO REALLY FIND OUT WHAT THEY BELIEVE, LOOK 02:57 IN THE FOUNDATIONAL DOCUMENTS. AND IF YOU LOOK IN THE DOCUMENTS 03:01 OF WHAT THE SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTISTS BELIEVE, THEY'LL TELL 03:03 YOU VERY CLEARLY THIS IS ONE OF OUR BAPTISMAL VOWS. 03:06 WHEN YOU JOIN THE CHURCH YOU SAY, 'WE BELIEVE THE BIBLE IS 03:10 GOD'S INSPIRED WORD AND THAT IT CONSTITUTES THE ONLY RULE OF 03:14 FAITH AND PRACTICE FOR THE CHRISTIAN. 03:16 WE BELIEVE BOTH THE OLD AND NEW TESTAMENTS COMPRISE THE WORD OF 03:19 GOD. WE BELIEVE AND TAKE THE WORD OF GOD QUITE LITERALLY. 03:24 WE BELIEVE IT'S THE INSPIRED, INFALLIBLE WORD OF GOD. 03:27 JESUS SAID, 'HEAVEN AND EARTH WILL PASS AWAY, MY WORD WILL NOT 03:32 PASS AWAY.' NOW THAT'S MATTHEW 24:35 - 03:35 MATTHEW 4 - 'IT IS WRITTEN, MAN SHALL NOT LIVE BY BREAD ALONE, 03:40 BUT WE LIVE BY EVERY WORD THAT PROCEEDS FROM THE MOUTH OF 03:43 GOD.' AND SO EVERYTHING - WHAT THE 03:46 PASTOR SAYS, WHAT A PROPHET SAYS, WHAT ANYBODY SAYS - MUST 03:50 BE MEASURED UP AGAINST WHAT THE WORD OF GOD SAYS. 03:54 NOW, WHEN I FIRST HEARD ABOUT SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTISTS, I'LL 03:56 JUST BE VERY HONEST WITH YOU, I THOUGHT IT WAS A PECULIAR NAME. 04:02 YOU KNOW, WHEN I STARTED SAYING, 'LORD, JUST SHOW ME YOUR 04:04 CHURCH.' BECAUSE I WORSHIPED WITH MANY DIFFERENT CHURCHES AND 04:06 FOUND THAT THEY DISAGREED ON SOME, WHAT I THOUGHT WERE, 04:09 PIVOTAL DOCTRINES AND I - I JUST WENT BACK UP TO THE CAVE AND I 04:12 SAID, 'LORD, I JUST WANT TO KNOW THE TRUTH. 04:13 SHOW ME.' AND I EXPECTED THAT I'D FIND A CHURCH THAT WAS NAMED 04:17 CHURCH OF GOD . AND THERE ARE CHURCHES THAT 04:21 ARE CALLED THE CHURCH OF GOD - AND THAT'S A GREAT NAME. 04:24 OR I'D FIND ONE THAT SAID THE CHURCH OF CHRIST AND THERE IS A 04:27 CHURCH CALLED THE CHURCH OF CHRIST. 04:29 THAT'S A GOOD NAME - SIMPLE. SO WHY SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST? 04:33 WELL, IT'S VERY SIMPLE: BECAUSE, ALONG WITH THE OTHER NINE 04:36 COMMANDMENTS, WE BELIEVE IN KEEPING A HUNDRED PERCENT, AND 04:39 ONE OF THEM SAYS 'REMEMBER THE SABBATH DAY' SO WE WORSHIP ON 04:43 THE SEVENTH DAY OF THE WEEK - SATURDAY - AS THE SABBATH. 04:46 WE DON'T SEE EVIDENCE IN THE BIBLE OR HISTORY THAT IT HAS 04:50 BEEN CHANGED BY GOD. AND SO, WE'RE GOING TO JUST 04:53 DO WHAT GOD TELLS US TO DO. WE FIGURE THAT 04:56 IT'S A COMMANDMENT. THAT'S ONE REASON. 04:58 THE WORD ADVENTIST MEANS THAT WE BELIEVE IN THE SOON COMING OR 05:03 THE IMMINENT RETURN OF JESUS. 05:05 CHRIST SAID, 'BEHOLD, I AM COMING QUICKLY.' SEVERAL TIMES 05:08 IN REVELATION HE TELLS US HE'S COMING. 05:11 IN JOHN CHAPTER 14, 'I GO TO PREPARE A PLACE FOR YOU AND IF I 05:14 GO AND PREPARE A PLACE FOR YOU I WILL COME AGAIN.' AND SO THE 05:17 DISCIPLES AND THE APOSTLES MADE A GREAT PRIORITY ABOUT TALKING 05:21 ABOUT THE SHORTNESS OF LIFE, THE RETURN OF THE LORD, AND GETTING 05:26 PEOPLE READY FOR THAT EVENT. AND SO, WE BELIEVE THAT WE ARE A 05:30 CHURCH THAT'S BEEN CALLED IN THE LAST GENERATION - THE LAST AGE 05:34 OF THE CHURCH - THE AGE OF LAODICEA - TO PREPARE THE 05:36 WORLD FOR THE ADVENT OF JESUS. THAT'S ALL THAT MEANS IS - SO WE 05:41 ARE SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTISTS, BUT WE'RE BIBLE CHRISTIANS AND SO 05:46 SOMETIMES THE NAMES CAN SOUND CONFUSING. 05:50 A LITTLE HISTORY ABOUT THE FORMATION OF THE CHURCH: BACK IN 05:53 1835 THERE WAS A GREAT REVIVAL - IT BECAME KNOWN AS - IT WAS THE 05:59 GREAT SECOND AWAKENING OR THE GREAT ADVENT MOVEMENT - NOT TO 06:04 BE CONFUSED WITH SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTISTS. 06:07 SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTISTS WERE NOT ORGANIZED AS A CHURCH UNTIL 06:09 1863. I THINK THE NAME WAS PICKED IN 1860. 06:13 THEY WERE FORMALLY ORGANIZED AND INCORPORATED IN 1863. 06:16 WE'RE GOING BACK NOW TO 1835 THROUGH 1844. 06:20 THERE WAS A MILLERITE MOVEMENT - WILLIAM MILLER WAS A BAPTIST. 06:24 HE WAS AN ADVENTIST BAPTIST AND THERE WAS A GREAT ADVENT 06:29 MOVEMENT THAT'S KNOWN IN HISTORY AS THE GREAT DISAPPOINTMENT 06:32 WHEN, IN 1844, AND THAT OCTOBER DATE PASSED - JESUS DIDN'T COME. 06:38 AND SO WHAT I LOVE ABOUT THE ADVENTIST CHURCH IS THAT WE ARE 06:42 - WE'RE SORT OF THE CO-MINGLING OF CHRISTIANS FROM MANY 06:48 DIFFERENT BACKGROUNDS THAT BASICALLY PUT ASIDE THEIR 06:50 DIFFERENCES. 06:51 BACK AFTER JESUS DIDN'T COME IN 1844, THERE WERE BAPTISTS, 06:55 METHODISTS, CONGREGATIONALISTS, PRESBYTERIANS - ALL THESE 07:01 DIFFERENT CHURCHES AND THEY SAID, 'LET'S STUDY TOGETHER. 07:04 WE'VE OBVIOUSLY MISUNDERSTOOD THE WORD. 07:08 THERE'S PROBABLY MANY OTHER MISUNDERSTANDINGS.' IT HAD NOT 07:11 BEEN THAT LONG SINCE THE PROTESTANTS CAME OUT OF THE DARK 07:14 AGES WHERE THE TRUTH WAS CAST TO THE GROUND AND THEY SAID, 'LET'S 07:17 STUDY.' AND IN THOSE STUDIES FROM CHRISTIANS OF MANY 07:22 DENOMINATIONS, THE CHURCH DEVELOPED. 07:25 THEY SAID, 'LET'S GET BACK TO THE BIBLE.' THEY REALIZED THERE 07:27 WERE SEVERAL THINGS THEY'D BEEN FOLLOWING THAT WERE NOT 07:29 BIBLICAL. AND SO, WHAT DO WE BELIEVE AS A CHURCH? 07:33 WHAT GREW OUT OF THAT BIBLE STUDY THAT DEVELOPED US INTO THE 07:36 CHURCH WE ARE TODAY? WELL, ONE THING, WE BELIEVE IN 07:39 FOLLOWING THE BIBLE, LOVING THE LORD, AND LOVING YOUR NEIGHBOR. 07:42 WE BELIEVE IN SERVING OUR FELLOW MAN. SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTISTS HAVE 07:46 A WORLD-WIDE COMMUNITY SERVICE PROGRAM. 07:50 SOME OF YOU HAVE HEARD OF ADRA - THE ADVENTIST RELIEF DEVELOPMENT 07:53 AGENCY - AND WE GO INTO COUNTRIES AROUND THE WORLD - 07:56 ESPECIALLY WHEN THERE'S DISASTERS - AND WE PROVIDE 07:58 RELIEF PLUS ONGOING HELP IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES TO 08:02 ALLEVIATE THE NEEDS OF THE PEOPLE. 08:05 JESUS SAID, 'I WAS HUNGRY AND YOU FED ME. 08:07 I WAS THIRSTY AND YOU GAVE ME DRINK. 08:09 I WAS NAKED AND YOU CLOTHED ME. 08:11 I WAS A STRANGER AND YOU VISITED ME. 08:13 I WAS IN PRISON AND YOU CAME TO ME.' 08:14 AND CHRIST SAID, 'INASMUCH AS YOU DO IT TO THE LEAST OF THESE, 08:17 YOU'VE DONE IT TO ME.' SO SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTISTS BELIEVE 08:20 IN ALLEVIATING THE SUFFERING OF HUMANITY AND THAT IS PART OF THE 08:24 MINISTRY OF CHRIST - THAT'S WHAT IT MEANS TO BE A CHRISTIAN. 08:27 AND SOME OF THE EVIDENCE OF THAT IS THAT ALL OVER THE WORLD WE 08:32 HAVE A VERY EXTENSIVE HEALTH AND MINISTRY WORK. 08:35 WE HAVE HOSPITALS AND SANITARIUMS - ACTUALLY, THERE 08:38 ARE 171 SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST HOSPITALS AND SANITARIUMS AROUND 08:43 THE WORLD. IT IS THE LARGEST HEALTHCARE MINISTRY - LARGEST 08:48 CHRISTIAN HEALTHCARE MINISTRY NEXT TO THE CATHOLICS. 08:53 CATHOLICS HAVE A LONG HISTORY OF MEDICAL WORK IN HOSPITALS. 08:57 SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTISTS, CONSIDERING THAT WE'RE CERTAINLY 09:00 NOT THE OLDEST PROTESTANT GROUP, BUT WE'RE #2 WHEN IT COMES TO 09:03 OUR UNDERSTANDING RELIEVING THE PHYSICAL SUFFERING OF HUMANITY 09:07 AND MINISTERING TO THE SICK - AND THAT MEANS THAT THEY'RE 09:10 TREATING 14,997,000 PEOPLE EVERY YEAR. 09:16 ACCORDING TO THE RESEARCH DONE NOT TOO LONG AGO, 09:19 SOME OF YOU HEARD OF THE BLUE ZONE STUDY? 09:22 BECAUSE OF THE SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST BELIEF THAT THE BIBLE 09:25 TEACHES HEALTHFUL LIVING - THAT YOUR BODY IS THE TEMPLE OF THE 09:28 HOLY SPIRIT - WE NEED TO CARE FOR OUR BODIES. 09:31 A NUMBER OF STUDIES HAVE SHOWN THAT SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTISTS LIVE 09:34 AN AVERAGE OF TEN YEARS LONGER THAN THE AVERAGE CITIZEN. 09:40 NOW, IN SOME COUNTRIES IT'S MUCH BETTER THAN THAT, BUT IN AMERICA 09:43 WE LIVE AN AVERAGE OF TEN YEARS LONGER. MATTER OF FACT, I THINK 09:45 I'VE GOT A PICTURE SOMEWHERE THAT SHOWS - YEAH, THERE SHE IS 09:49 - THAT'S MARGE - AT THE TIME OF THIS PICTURE, 104 YEARS OLD. 09:53 SOME OF YOU SAW THE NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC MAGAZINE SECRETS OF 09:57 LIVING LONGER . THEY IDENTIFIED FOUR GROUPS. 10:00 ONE OF THEM WAS SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTISTS. 10:02 THEY FOCUSED ON LOMA LINDA, CALIFORNIA, BUT IT WASN'T 10:04 BECAUSE OF THEIR RACE OR THEIR GEOGRAPHY, IT WAS BECAUSE OF THE 10:08 BELIEF SYSTEM IN THIS STUDY, AND THEY SAID SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTISTS 10:13 CLEARLY LIVE LONGER THAN THE AVERAGE AND IT WAS ATTRIBUTED TO 10:16 ONE THING - THE REST AND COMMUNITY ON THE SABBATH - 10:19 THERE'S SOMETHING HEALTHFUL ABOUT THAT - BUT A LOT BECAUSE 10:21 OF THE LIFE STYLE. 10:23 AND IT'S MUCH MORE COMMON FOR A SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST TO REACH 10:27 100 YEARS OF AGE THAN IT IS FOR THE AVERAGE CITIZEN, BECAUSE WE 10:31 BELIEVE IN CARING FOR OUR BODIES. 10:33 WE ABSTAIN FROM UNCLEAN FOOD, ALCOHOL, TOBACCO, AND - ALONG 10:39 WITH A NUMBER OF OTHER IMPORTANT HEALTH PRACTICES - SO WE'RE A 10:43 HEALTH-CONSCIOUS PEOPLE. BUT WHAT ABOUT OUR TEACHINGS? 10:46 WELL, LET'S LOOK AT SOME OF THOSE. 10:47 WHAT ABOUT OUR TEACHING OF GOD? LET ME READ TO YOU 10:49 WHAT OUR TEACHING IS. THERE IS ONE GOD - FATHER, SON, 10:54 AND HOLY SPIRIT - A UNITY OF THREE CO-ETERNAL PERSONS. 10:57 GOD IS IMMORTAL, ALL-POWERFUL, ALL-KNOWING, ABOVE ALL, AND 11:01 EVER-PRESENT. HE IS INFINITE BEYOND HUMAN 11:04 COMPREHENSION, YET KNOWN THROUGH HIS SELF-REVELATION. 11:07 HE IS FOREVER WORTHY OF WORSHIP, ADORATION, SERVICE - BY THE 11:11 WHOLE CREATION. WE BELIEVE IN WHAT YOU 11:15 WOULD CALL THE TRINITY. THAT WORD IS NOT FOUND IN THE 11:17 BIBLE - THAT GOD, THE FATHER, SON, AND SPIRIT COMPRISE GOD. 11:23 AND SO NO, WE DON'T BELIEVE JESUS WAS CREATED. 11:27 WE BELIEVE ALL THINGS THAT WERE MADE WERE MADE BY HIM. 11:30 WE DO NOT BELIEVE THAT THE HOLY SPIRIT IS JUST SOME ELECTRIC 11:32 FORCE THAT GOD USES. THE HOLY SPIRIT IS A PERSON. 11:36 JESUS SAID, 'WHEN HE, THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH IS COME, HE WILL LEAD 11:40 YOU INTO ALL TRUTH.' AND CHRIST IDENTIFIES HIM AS FATHER, SON, 11:44 AND SPIRIT - BEING PART OF GOD. 11:46 WHAT DO WE BELIEVE ABOUT SALVATION? 11:48 ONE OF THE MYTHS THAT I HEAR IS THAT SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTISTS 11:54 BELIEVE THAT WE'RE THE ONLY ONES THAT ARE GOING TO BE IN HEAVEN. 11:58 >>NO. >>DO ANY OF YOU BELIEVE THAT 12:00 ONLY SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTISTS ARE GOING TO HEAVEN? 12:01 >>NO! >>OKAY, THAT'S GOOD. 12:03 (LAUGHTER) I HEAR PEOPLE SAY, 'OH, ADVENTISTS, THEY THINK 12:06 THEY'RE THE ONLY ONES THAT ARE GOING. 12:07 ONE REASON I JOINED THE CHURCH IS I WAS PLEASED TO FINALLY FIND 12:11 A GROUP THAT SAID THAT THEY BELIEVE THE LARGEST PART - 12:15 MATTER OF FACT, THIS IS SOMETHING ELLEN WHITE SAYS IN 12:17 THE BOOK GREAT CONTROVERSY : THE GREATEST PART - NOT THE SMALLEST 12:20 PART - THE GREATEST PART OF CHRIST'S TRUE FOLLOWERS ARE IN 12:24 THE FELLOWSHIP OF OTHER DENOMINATIONS. 12:27 I SAID, 'OH, THAT'S REFRESHING.' I DON'T AGREE WITH ALL OF THE 12:29 TEACHINGS, BUT GOD KNOWS THEIR HEARTS AND THAT THERE ARE MANY 12:33 PEOPLE IN THESE OTHER CHURCHES AND THEY LOVE HIM AND THEY WALK 12:35 IN THE LIGHT THEY'VE GOT AND THEY'RE GOD'S CHILDREN AND HIS 12:38 SPIRIT WORKS IN THEM AND GOD ANSWERS THEIR PRAYERS, BUT 12:42 THEOLOGICALLY THEY MAY BE WRONG ON SOME THINGS. 12:44 I'M IN THIS CHURCH BECAUSE I BELIEVE IT'S THEOLOGICALLY 12:48 CLOSER TO THE BIBLE. >>AMEN. 12:50 >>BUT THE SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTISTS, I THINK, THERE'S 12:52 MORE TO IT THAN THAT. DO WE BELIEVE WE'RE 12:55 SAVED BY WORKS OR FAITH? >>FAITH. 12:58 >>SALVATION - EPHESIANS 2 - "FOR BY GRACE YOU HAVE BEEN SAVED 13:01 THROUGH FAITH, AND THAT NOT OF YOURSELVES; IT IS THE GIFT OF 13:03 GOD," - DO WE ALL BELIEVE THAT? >>YES. 13:06 >>DOES ANYONE BELIEVE WE'RE SAVED BY KEEPING THE SABBATH? 13:08 >>NO. >>OR ANY COMMAND - NO. 13:09 AND IT SAYS THIS IN OUR TEACHINGS: 'WE ACCEPT THE DEATH 13:12 OF JESUS CHRIST ON CALVARY AS THE ATONING SACRIFICE FOR OUR 13:15 SINS AND BELIEVE, THROUGH FAITH IN HIS SHED BLOOD, I AM SAVED 13:19 FROM SIN AND ITS PENALTY.' IT IS THROUGH FAITH ALONE WE ARE 13:23 SAVED. WE ALL BELIEVE THAT. AND SO, 13:25 ONE OF THE MYTHS OUT THERE IS THAT WE SOMEHOW BELIEVE BY NOT 13:27 EATING PORK WE'RE SAVED, OR EATING MORE GARLIC - YOU'VE ALL 13:33 MET PEOPLE THAT BELIEVE IN RIGHTEOUSNESS BY GARLIC, HAVEN'T 13:36 YOU? (LAUGHTER) AND THEY COME TO CHURCH AND SIT IN THEIR OWN PEW 13:40 - AND THAT'S A PUN. (LAUGHTER) IT'S THROUGH FAITH. 13:46 NOW, WITH THAT, I SHOULD PROBABLY SAY SOMETHING ABOUT THE 13:48 LAW AND THE SABBATH. WE DO NOT KEEP THE LAW TO BE 13:53 SAVED, WE KEEP THE LAW BECAUSE WE ARE SAVED. 13:55 >>AMEN. >>JESUS SAID, 'IF YOU LOVE 13:57 ME' - WHAT COMES FIRST? LOVE FOR ME. 13:59 'IF YOU LOVE ME' - DO WHAT? >>KEEP MY COMMANDMENTS. 14:02 >>KEEP COMMANDMENTS. IF ANYONE SAYS YOU LOVE THE 14:03 LORD AND YOU DON'T KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS, JOHN SAYS YOU'RE 14:05 A LIAR AND THE TRUTH IS NOT IN YOU. 14:07 AND THAT WOULDN'T MEAN 50% OR 80% - WE BELIEVE 100%, INCLUDING 14:12 THE SABBATH COMMANDMENT THAT HAS NEVER BEEN CHANGED. 14:16 AND, OF COURSE, YOU FIND THAT IN EXODUS 20, "REMEMBER THE SABBATH 14:20 DAY TO KEEP IT HOLY." WOULDN'T IT SEEM ODD TO YOU 14:23 THAT GOD WOULD SAY THE ONE COMMANDMENT YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO 14:27 REALLY FORGET ABOUT IS THE ONLY COMMANDMENT HE SAID TO REMEMBER. 14:30 >>RIGHT? >>HE SAYS, 'REMEMBER THE SABBATH 14:32 DAY' AND THEN ON THE NEXT PAGE HE SAYS, 'WELL, BUT THAT'S THE 14:35 ONE YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO FORGET.' NO, HE'S VERY CLEAR. 14:38 AND SO WE BELIEVE THAT. WE BELIEVE IN 14:41 KEEPING ALL OF THEM. I DON'T BELIEVE I'M SAVED MORE 14:44 BY KEEPING THE SEVENTH-DAY SABBATH THAN I AM BY NOT 14:48 COMMITTING ADULTERY - OR BY NOT STEALING OR LYING - IT'S ALL 14:51 PART OF GOD'S LAW AND IF WE LOVE THE LORD WE'RE GOING TO WANT 14:54 TO KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS. >>AMEN. 14:57 >>IN MARK CHAPTER 16 JESUS SAID, 'WHOEVER BELIEVES AND IS 15:00 BAPTIZED WILL BE SAVED.' AND THEN, IN JOHN CHAPTER 3, 15:04 JESUS ALSO SAID, 'UNLESS YOU'RE BORN OF THE WATER AND THE 15:08 SPIRIT, YOU YOU CANNOT ENTER THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN. 15:10 SO, HOW IMPORTANT IS BAPTISM? DOES IT MATTER HOW 15:13 YOU'RE BAPTIZED? HOW OLD DOES A PERSON 15:16 NEED TO BE TO BE BAPTIZED? WOULD YOU LIKE TO UNDERSTAND 15:19 THIS AND MANY MORE ISSUES RELATING TO BAPTISM? 15:22 THEN WE HAVE A FREE OFFER FOR YOU - A VERY INFORMATIVE BOOK 15:25 CALLED BAPTISM, IS IT REALLY NECESSARY? 15:28 IT'S FREE - WE'D LOVE TO SEND IT TO YOU - TO GET YOUR FREE COPY, 15:31 GO TO AMAZINGFACTS.ORG OR CALL THE PHONE NUMBER ON YOUR SCREEN 15:36 AND ASK FOR OFFER #165. AND WHEN YOU GET YOUR FREE 15:40 RESOURCE, MAKE SURE AND READ IT AND THEN SHARE IT WITH SOMEONE 15:43 ELSE, BECAUSE GOD'S MESSAGE IS OUR MISSION. 15:47 >>NOW SOMETHING THAT IS ADMITTEDLY DIFFERENT FROM 15:50 TYPICAL EVANGELICALS WITH THE SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTISTS IS OUR 15:53 UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU DIE. 15:56 WE BELIEVE THAT WHEN A PERSON DIES, THAT THEY SLEEP A 16:02 DREAMLESS, PEACEFUL SLEEP - AN UNCONSCIOUS SLEEP IN THE GRAVE - 16:05 UNTIL THE RESURRECTION. 16:07 'BUT WHAT ABOUT THAT VERSE IN THE BIBLE, PASTOR DOUG? 16:09 IT SAYS, IN 2 CORINTHIANS 5:8, "...TO BE ABSENT FROM THE BODY 16:13 AND TO BE PRESENT WITH THE LORD." 16:14 AND AS SOON AS YOU DIE YOU, YOU GET USHERED OFF TO ABRAHAM'S 16:18 BOSOM OR SOMEWHERE IN SPIRIT FORM AND THEN WHEN JESUS COMES 16:21 BACK YOU'LL GET THE BODY AND THEN YOU'LL HAVE THE JUDGMENT.' 16:24 WE JUST DON'T FIND THAT'S BIBLICAL. 16:26 FIRST OF ALL, IT IS TRUE THAT TO BE ABSENT FROM THE BODY IS TO BE 16:30 PRESENT WITH THE LORD. MEANING, IF YOU'RE SAVED, AND 16:34 YOU SHOULD DIE, YOUR NEXT CONSCIOUS THOUGHT IS THE 16:38 RESURRECTION AND THE PRESENCE OF THE LORD. 16:40 THERE'S NO AWARENESS OF TIME FOR YOU AND SO - GOD LIVES IN ALL 16:44 DIMENSIONS OF TIME - BUT YOU AND I, WE LIVE IN TIME AND THE 16:49 RESURRECTION HASN'T HAPPENED YET. 16:51 DO WE ALL AGREE? >>RIGHT. 16:52 >>CHRIST SAID, 'I'LL RAISE HIM UP THE LAST DAY.' VERY CLEAR. 16:56 JESUS SAID, 'IN THE LAST DAY.' THE JUDGMENT HASN'T HAPPENED 17:00 YET. THE IDEA THAT PEOPLE GO RIGHT TO 17:01 HELL OR HEAVEN AS SOON AS THEY DIE, BEFORE THE RESURRECTION, 17:04 BEFORE THE JUDGMENT IS NOT BIBLICAL. 17:07 AND SO, YES, WE ARE IN THAT GROUP AND WE'RE NOT ALONE. 17:10 THAT WAS THE BELIEF OF MANY OF THE PROTESTANT REFORMERS, BUT 17:15 SOME OF THE MYTHOLOGICAL - THE TEACHINGS OF THE DARK AGES THAT 17:20 WERE IN THE CHURCH, CREPT INTO THE PROTESTANT CHURCHES. 17:23 LET ME GIVE YOU A QUOTE - AND THIS IS FROM MARTIN LUTHER - 17:26 THIS IS ACTUALLY WRITTEN BY THE LUTHERAN SCHOLAR 17:29 DR. A.T. CANTONIN IN HIS BOOK THE CHRISTIAN HOPE, P. 37 , 17:35 "FOR JUST AS ONE WHO FALLS ASLEEP AND REACHES MORNING 17:38 UNEXPECTEDLY WHEN HE AWAKES WITHOUT KNOWING WHAT HAPPENED TO 17:41 HIM, WE SHALL SUDDENLY RISE, ON THE LAST DAY, WITHOUT KNOWING 17:45 HOW WE HAVE COME INTO DEATH OR THROUGH DEATH." 17:48 THAT WAS THE TEACHING OF LUTHER. 17:50 HE BELIEVED YOU SLEPT IN THE GRAVE, UNCONSCIOUSLY, BUT HE 17:54 BELIEVED YOUR NEXT CONSCIOUS THOUGHT WAS THE RESURRECTION OF 17:56 THE LORD - OR THE RESURRECTION - THE COMING OF THE LORD. 17:58 THAT'S ALSO WHAT WILLIAM TYNDALE BELIEVED. 18:01 YOU'VE HEARD OF THE TYNDALE BIBLE TRANSLATORS. 18:03 MANY OF THESE EVANGELICALS WOULD BE SURPRISED HOW MANY OF THE 18:07 GREAT REFORMERS BELIEVED EXACTLY WHAT SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTISTS 18:09 BELIEVE ABOUT THE SUBJECT OF DEATH. 18:12 THE BIBLE IS VERY CLEAR: "FOR THE LIVING KNOW THAT THEY WILL 18:14 DIE;" - ECCLESIASTES 9:5 - "BUT THE DEAD KNOW NOTHING." 18:18 IT IS THE LIVING THAT PRAISE THE LORD. 18:20 THOSE THAT DIE, IT SAYS IN THE DAY THEIR BREATH GOES FORTH - 18:23 PSALM 146 'THEIR THOUGHTS PERISH' - THEY STOP THINKING. 18:27 THEY'RE NOT THINKING ANYTHING. THEY'RE SLEEPING. 18:29 THERE ARE ABOUT TWELVE RESURRECTIONS IN THE BIBLE - OLD 18:32 AND NEW TESTAMENT. ARE YOU AWARE THAT IN EVERY ONE 18:35 OF THOSE CASES NONE OF THOSE RESURRECTED EVER MADE A SINGLE 18:39 COMMENT ABOUT KNOWING ANYTHING WHEN THEY DIED? 18:42 WOULDN'T YOU THINK THAT THE FIRST QUESTION THAT WOULD BE 18:45 ASKED WHEN SOMEONE WAS DEAD AND THEY WERE RAISED IS, 'WHAT DID 18:48 YOU SEE? WHAT DID YOU EXPERIENCE? 18:50 WHAT WAS IT LIKE? WHAT DID YOU FEEL?' 18:53 BUT THE RECORD OF THE BIBLE IS THAT NONE OF THEM HAVE ANYTHING 18:55 TO SAY ABOUT THEIR EXPERIENCE DURING DEATH BECAUSE THE DEAD 18:59 DON'T KNOW ANYTHING. IT'S PRETTY CLEAR. 19:02 BUT THAT FLIES IN THE FACE OF WHAT SOME CHRISTIANS HAVE HEARD 19:06 FOR YEARS. AND I KNOW IT TROUBLES PEOPLE 19:08 BECAUSE THEY SAY, 'YOU KNOW, I LOST MY HUSBAND AND I JUST FEEL 19:11 HIS PRESENCE WITH ME AND' - YOU KNOW, YOU'VE GOT THOSE MEMORIES. 19:15 I'M SURE THEY'RE VERY PRECIOUS, BUT THEY'RE SLEEPING. 19:18 AND SOME OF US KNOW LOVED ONES THAT HAVE DIED THAT MAYBE DIDN'T 19:21 KNOW THE LORD. I HOPE YOU FIND RELIEF IN THE 19:25 KNOWLEDGE THAT THEY'RE NOT ROASTING WHILE YOU WALK THE 19:28 EARTH. THAT'S WHY, ON MANY OF THE ANCIENT GRAVES IT SAYS, 19:32 'R.I.P.' WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? REST IN PEACE. 19:36 THEY'RE SLEEPING - DREAMLESS SLEEP UNTIL THE RESURRECTION. 19:39 SO THAT'S ONE THING THAT IS ADMITTEDLY DIFFERENT ABOUT THE 19:42 ADVENTIST BELIEF. CONNECTED WITH THAT IS OUR 19:45 UNDERSTANDING ABOUT HELLFIRE. OKAY, WE'VE BEEN ACCUSED 19:51 'SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTISTS DO NOT BELIEVE IN HELL.' 19:54 LET ME ASK YOU, DO WE BELIEVE IN HELL? 19:56 >>YES. >>OKAY. IS HELL HOT? 19:59 >>YES. >>WILL THE LOST BURN IN HELL? 20:02 >>YES. >>MATTER OF FACT, OUR HELL IS 20:04 HOTTER THAN THE BAPTIST HELL (LAUGHTER) BECAUSE THE BAPTIST 20:07 HELL JUST SORT OF SIMMERS THEM FOREVER AND OUR HELL BURNS 20:11 THEM UP. (LAUGHTER) THEY DON'T 20:13 BURN FOREVER AND EVER. AND I KNOW THAT'S DIFFERENT. 20:17 DURING THE DARK AGES IT WAS VERY PROFITABLE FOR THE CHURCH TO 20:20 SCARE PEOPLE OUT OF THEIR WITS WITH THE IDEA OF THE WICKED 20:27 BEING TORMENTED FOREVER AND EVER AND EVER. 20:30 AND CAN YOU IMAGINE - AND THEY SAY AS SOON AS YOU DIE THEY GO 20:34 TO TORMENT - THEY HAVEN'T EVEN BEEN JUDGED YET AND THEY GO TO 20:36 HELL TO BURN FOREVER AND EVER AND EVER FOR THE SINS OF ONE 20:42 LIFETIME. THIS IS NOT WHAT THE BIBLE TEACHES. 20:46 JESUS SAID THERE ARE TWO CHOICES: BELIEVE AND LIVE; 20:53 THE DEVIL SAID, 'YOU WILL NOT SURELY DIE.' THAT DOCTRINE THAT 20:56 YOU JUST BURN FOREVER AND EVER COMES FROM THE DEVIL. 20:59 GOD SAID, 'IN THE DAY YOU SIN YOU WILL DIE.' LIFE IS A GIFT. 21:05 GOD DOESN'T GIVE ETERNAL LIFE - WHERE IN THE BIBLE DOES IT SAY 21:07 THAT EVERYBODY HAS IMMORTALITY? 21:10 WHEN JESUS COMES, THEN 'THIS MORTAL WILL PUT ON IMMORTALITY.' 21:14 GOD AND GOD ONLY HAS IMMORTALITY. 21:17 THE IDEA THAT SINNERS ARE IMMORTAL - WELL, THE DEVIL WOULD 21:20 LIKE TO BELIEVE THAT BECAUSE EVEN HE WILL BE CAST INTO THE 21:22 LAKE OF FIRE, BUT HE'S NOT IMMORTAL. 21:25 ONLY GOD IS IMMORTAL. GOD GIVES US THE GIFT OF 21:28 IMMORTALITY IN THE RESURRECTION. WE DON'T HAVE THAT YET. 21:31 SO WE BELIEVE THAT THE WICKED ARE CAST INTO HELL. 21:33 HELL IS REAL. IT'S GOING TO BURN. 21:35 EVERYONE IS PUNISHED ACCORDING TO WHAT THEY DESERVE, BUT THE 21:38 BIBLE SAYS THEY ARE CONSUMED - MALACHI CHAPTER 4 - THEY ARE 21:42 BURNT UP. IN REVELATION 20 IT SAYS FIRE 21:44 COMES DOWN FROM HEAVEN AND DEVOURS THEM. 21:47 THE SCRIPTURES ARE VERY CLEAR THAT THE WICKED BURN UP IN HELL. 21:51 BY THE WAY, THIS WAS THE BELIEF OF JOHN STOTT, WHO WAS PROBABLY 21:56 THE MOST INFLUENTIAL EVANGELICAL THEOLOGIAN IN THE LAST CENTURY. 22:02 HE FIRMLY BELIEVED IN WHAT WE CALL ANNIHILATION - THAT THE 22:07 WICKED WILL BE BURNT UP. AND, YOU KNOW WHAT? I'M RELIEVED. 22:10 I NEED TO BE HONEST AND TELL YOU THAT SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTISTS 22:13 DON'T REALLY HOLD A MONOPOLY ON THAT TEACHING. 22:15 MORE AND MORE EVANGELICALS I AM MEETING - MATTER OF FACT, I MEET 22:19 SOME OF THEM AT THESE RELIGIOUS BROADCASTER MEETINGS AND THEY 22:21 COME UP AND THEY LOOK AROUND TO MAKE SURE NOBODY'S LISTENING AND 22:24 THEY'LL SAY, 'I AGREE WITH YOU ON THE SUBJECT OF HELL.' THEY 22:28 SAID, 'YOU CAN'T PROVE THE OTHER FROM THE BIBLE.' AND THERE ARE 22:32 PENTECOSTALS, BAPTISTS, PRESBYTERIANS, METHODISTS - MORE 22:36 AND MORE LEADING SCHOLARS IN THESE CHURCHES REALIZE THAT THE 22:40 IDEA OF THE ETERNAL TORMENT OF THE LOST IS - WAS A MEDIEVAL 22:45 THEOLOGY THAT HAD KIND OF COME OVER INTO THE EVANGELICAL 22:48 CHURCHES. IT'S NOT WHAT JESUS TAUGHT. 22:51 ALRIGHT, MOVING ALONG HERE. 22:54 ANOTHER INTERESTING BELIEF IS REGARDING THE SANCTUARY. 22:57 NOW, YOU KNOW, THE REASON - WHAT I'M DOING IS I'M HIGHLIGHTING 22:59 SOME OF THE THINGS THAT ARE UNIQUE ABOUT SEVENTH-DAY 23:02 ADVENTISTS. IN MANY WAYS WE'RE TYPICAL 23:04 CHRISTIANS AND BELIEVE AND DO THE TYPICAL CHRISTIAN THINGS, 23:08 BUT SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTISTS BELIEVE THAT JESUS 23:10 IS OUR HIGH PRIEST. AND DOESN'T THE 23:12 BIBLE TEACH THIS? AND THAT THERE IS A LITERAL 23:14 DWELLING PLACE OF GOD KNOWN AS THE SANCTUARY IN HEAVEN. 23:18 THE BIBLE TALKS ABOUT IT. HEBREWS IS VERY CLEAR. 23:21 AND THAT CHRIST HAS ENTERED INTO THE LAST PHASE OF HIS WORK OF 23:25 REDEMPTION. YES, HE DIED ONCE. HE WAS SACRIFICED ONCE, BUT HE 23:29 HASN'T CEASED WORKING AS OUR HIGH PRIEST. 23:31 IF THE MINISTRY OF JESUS IS TOTALLY OVER, THEN WHY HASN'T HE 23:34 COME BACK? WHAT'S GOD WAITING FOR? 23:37 IF IT'S ALL OVER, WHAT ARE WE DOING HERE? 23:39 OBVIOUSLY, IT'S NOT OVER YET AND CHRIST IS CONTINUING HIS WORK - 23:43 HIS INTERCESSION - HIS MEDIATION AS OUR HIGH PRIEST. 23:47 IF YOU LOOK IN HEBREWS 8:1 AND 2, "NOW THIS IS THE MAIN POINT 23:51 OF THE THINGS WE ARE SAYING: WE HAVE SUCH A HIGH PRIEST, WHO IS 23:54 SEATED AT THE RIGHT HAND OF THE THRONE OF THE MAJESTY IN THE 23:56 HEAVENS, A MINISTER OF THE SANCTUARY AND OF THE TRUE 23:59 TABERNACLE WHICH THE LORD ERECTED, AND NOT MAN." 24:03 LIKE MOST CHRISTIANS, SEVENTH- DAY ADVENTISTS CELEBRATE 24:06 THE COMMUNION. WE USE UNLEAVENED BREAD AND 24:10 UNFERMENTED GRAPE JUICE. THAT WOULD BE THE SAME AS 24:13 METHODISTS, BAPTISTS, MOST - SOME CHURCHES - PRESBYTERIAN, 24:16 CATHOLIC USE FERMENTED GRAPE JUICE. 24:18 WE BELIEVE THAT IT IS A TYPE OF THE BLOOD OF CHRIST, WHICH IS 24:20 UNPOLLUTED AND IS TO BE PURE. IT SHOULD BE UNFERMENTED. 24:25 AND HERE'S THE QUESTION - YOU MIGHT SAY, 'WELL, PASTOR DOUG, 24:30 I'VE HEARD - SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTISTS - I'VE HEARD THAT 24:32 YOU'RE A CULT.' HAVE YOU HEARD THAT BEFORE? 24:36 IF THE LORD DID HAVE A UNIQUE CHURCH IN THE LAST DAYS THAT HAD 24:42 A REVIVAL OF BIBLICAL TRUTH, AND IF YOU WERE THE DEVIL, 24:46 HOW WOULD YOU WANT TO PORTRAY THEM? 24:49 WOULDN'T YOU DO EVERYTHING YOU COULD TO SMEAR THAT NAME? 24:53 ARE YOU AWARE THAT THAT'S WHAT THEY DID TO JESUS WHEN HE WALKED 24:55 THE EARTH? THEY ACCUSED PAUL OF THAT. 24:58 LISTEN TO WHAT THEY SAID ABOUT PAUL. THEY CALLED HIM A HERETIC. 25:01 ACTS 24:5, "FOR WE HAVE FOUND THIS MAN A PLAGUE, A CREATOR OF 25:04 DISSENSION AMONG ALL THE JEWS THROUGHOUT THE WORLD, AND A 25:07 RINGLEADER OF THE SECT" - THE CULT - "OF THE NAZARENES." 25:11 AND THEY PORTRAYED PAUL IN THE MOST VIOLENT AND OUTRAGEOUS 25:14 TERMS. ACTS 24:14 - PAUL SAID, "BUT 25:17 THIS I CONFESS TO YOU, THAT ACCORDING TO THE WAY WHICH THEY 25:20 CALL A SECT, SO I WORSHIP THE GOD OF MY FATHERS, BELIEVING ALL 25:24 THINGS WHICH ARE WRITTEN IN THE LAW AND IN THE PROPHETS." 25:26 AND FRIENDS, THAT'S WHY I'M A SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST. 25:28 SOME WILL CALL IT A CULT, BUT I WILL BE HAPPY TO STAND TOE TO 25:31 TOE WITH A PASTOR FROM ANY CHURCH AND SAY, 'HERE'S WHY I 25:35 BELIEVE WHAT I BELIEVE. NOW LET ME CHALLENGE WHAT 25:37 YOU BELIEVE FROM THE BIBLE.' >>THAT'S RIGHT. 25:40 >>IT'S ALL ABOUT CAN YOU PROVE IT FROM THE SCRIPTURES? 25:43 NOW I RESPECT THAT DIFFERENT PEOPLE ARE CONVINCED DIFFERENTLY 25:46 AND I UNDERSTAND THAT. BUT I BELIEVE, AS JESUS COMES 25:50 BACK, THERE'S GOING TO BE A GREAT SHAKING IN OUR WORLD AND 25:54 PEOPLE ARE GOING TO BE CALLED INTO BIBLICAL FAITH. 25:59 I DON'T KNOW EXACTLY HOW IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN, FRIENDS, BUT 26:01 SOMETHING'S GOING TO HAPPEN AND THERE'S GOING TO BE A SHAKING. 26:04 IT'LL AFFECT OUR CHURCH, IT'LL AFFECT THE WHOLE WORLD, AND 26:07 PEOPLE ARE GOING TO BE SEARCHING FOR GOD. 26:09 MEN'S HEARTS FAILING FOR FEAR - THERE'S GOING TO BE A GREAT TIME 26:12 OF TROUBLE AND A SMALL TIME OF TROUBLE AND, DURING THIS SMALL 26:15 TIME OF TROUBLE, I THINK THERE'S GOING TO BE THE OUTPOURING OF 26:18 THE HOLY SPIRIT. 26:19 PEOPLE ARE GOING TO BE DIGGING IN THE BIBLE LIKE NEVER BEFORE. 26:22 GOD'S PEOPLE ARE GOING TO BE BROUGHT BEFORE KINGS AND RULERS 26:24 OF THE WORLD TO GIVE A TESTIMONY. 26:27 WE INVITE PEOPLE TO STUDY THE WORD FOR THEMSELVES AND MAKE 26:31 SURE YOU'RE BUILDING ON THE ROCK. 26:32 JESUS SAID THERE'S GOING TO BE A STORM COMING AND THE ONLY HOUSE 26:35 THAT'S GOING TO SURVIVE IS THE ONE THAT IS BUILT ON THE 26:38 FOUNDATION OF GOD - CHRIST'S TEACHING - AND HIS WORD.
