00:00 [OPENING MUSIC].
00:16 HELLO GOOD FRIENDS. 00:17 WE ARE SO DELIGHTED TO HAVE YOU JOIN US FOR ANOTHER "ADVENTURES IN 00:22 MIMIIONS" PROGOGM. 00:24 I AM IN COLLEGE PLACE, WASHINGTON AT THE STUDIOS FOR GOSPEL OUTREACH. 00:29 IT H H BEEEEAN OCCASION WHERE GOSPEL OUTREACH WORKERS, LEADERS FROM 00:34 ACROSS THE GLOBE ACTUALLY CONVENE HERE TO PRAY TOGETHER AND TO PLAN AS TO 00:40 HOW THTHWORK OF GOSPEL OUTREACH CAN CONONTIE MOST EFFECTIVELY. 00:45 AMONG THE THINGS THATTWE HAVE BG 00:45 HERE AT GOSPEL OUTREACH 00:57 WORLD WHO HAVE NOT ALWAYS BEEN APPROACHED BECAUSE WE DIDN'T T OW H H TO TH 01:02 APPROACH THEM. 01:04 SO IN THIS PROGRAM WE ARE GOING TO DO WHAT I'M GOING TO CALL A BRIEF TUTORIAL. 01:10 BUT BEBERE WE GET TO THAT 01:10 TUTORIAL MY GUEST, MIKE RTER, GLAD TO HAVE YOU 01:16 HERE AGAIN MIKE, IT'S A REAL PLEASURE TO HAVE YOU JOIN U UAT GOSPEL 01:22 OUTRTRCH, , TO REEMEMASIZE SOMETHING YOU AND I SHARED ON N EARLIER 01:27 OGRARA 01:29 WE CAME TO THE PLACE WHERE THERE IS AN APPRECIATION FOR THE BIBLE IN THE WORLD 01:41 OUTREACH IN COOPERATION WITHTHOUR LEADERSHIP HAS BEEN ABLE TO ACQUIRE SOME 01:45 BLES. 01:46 TELL US ABOUT THAT AGAIN, AND TELL US WHAT THE OPPORTUNITY IS. 01:50 THERE ARE A LOLOOF P PCESSIN T S 01:50 ARE GENERALLY CONSIDERED 01:57 TO B BSOMEMEW SOMETHING THAT SHOULD NOT BE PROVIVID. 02:00 THERERIS A AOT OF THE MUSLIM WORLD THAT SOMEHOW FEELS THREATENED BY BIBLE 02:04 SCRIRIURESES 02:07 BUT AS WE HAVE DISCOVERED, THE KORAN ITSELF DOES GIVE REFERENCE TO THE HOLY 02:14 OKS INCLUDING THE BIBLE AS A RELIABLBL PLACE TO GO FOR ANSWSWS. 02:20 SO BASED ON THTH AND BASED ON A LOT OF REQUESTS, WE'V'VDISCSCERED THAT MANY 02:26 PEPELE A A INTNTESTED IN HAVING SCRCRTURES, HAVING BIBLES SO THAT THEY CAN 02:32 STUDY TOGETHER 02:32 WIWI THEHEORANAN 02:33 AND THIS IS PARTICULARLY IMPORTANT BECAUSE THE BIBLES THAT YOU HAVE FOUND 02:41 ARE IN ARABIC. 02:43 THAT'S CORRECT. 02:44 SO THE PEOPLE WHO ONLY UNDERSTAND OR READ THE KORAN IN ARABIC CAN NOW 02:49 ALSO R RD THTH BIBLE IN ARABIC. 02:51 THAT'S CORRECT. 02:52 AND WHAT THAT MEANS IS THAT IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE A THREAT BECAUSE IT IS AN 02:58 OPPORTUNITY TO STUDY WHAT THE KORAN HAS TO SAY AND PERHAPS EVEN TO SEE WHAT 03:03 THTHOTHEHEHOLYLYBOOKOKHAVE TO S. 03:06 THERE IS A CERTAIN PLACE FOR A RESPECT FOR THE HOLY BOOKOK AND THE KORAN HAS 03:11 MENTION ABOUT PEOPLE OF THE BOOK. 03:14 THAT IS CLEARLY A REFERENCE TO PEOPLE WHO UNDERSTAND THE BIBLE. 03:18 NOW WHAT WE WANT OUR VIEWERS TO KNOW AT THIS POINT IS 24 THOUSAND 03:26 BLESESN ARABIC ARE AVAVLABLE FOR DISTRIBUTION IN THE ARABIC SPEAKING 03:33 RLD. 03:34 AND GOSPEL OUTREACH I COOPERATION WITH OTHER DEDICATED BELIEVERS ARE 03:41 REREY TO SECURE THESE BIBLES IF THE RESOURCES ARE AVAILABLE. 03:46 TELL US MORE ABOUT THAT. 03:47 THAT'S'SORRECT. 03:48 IT HAS BEEN A RATHER INTERESTING ALMOST MIRACULOUS SITUATION WHERE 03:53 THESESBIBLES BECAME AVAILABLE. 03:54 THEY WERE BLOCKED, THEY WERE UNAVAILABLE, WE THOUGHT WE WOULD LOSE 03:58 THEM, BUT THEYEYAVE BECOME AVAILABLELE 04:01 WELL I THINK YOU DESERVE TO KNOW, THE VIEWERS DO, THAT THE BIBLES WERE 04:06 FINALLLLAVAILABLE E FOFO DOLLARS EACH. 04:09 WELL, THAT'S WHERE IT STARTRT OUT AT FOUR DOLLARS EACH. 04:12 THEN IT WENT TO TWO DOLLARS EACH, THEN IT WENTNTINALAL TO O E DOLLAR 04:17 EACH. 04:18 SEVENTY-FIVE PERCENT CONSIDERATION. 04:20 I KNOW, IT'S AMAZING, IT'S A MIRACLE. 04:22 SO WE HAVE THESE BIBLES AVAILABLE, VERY MUCH AVAILABLE. 04:24 WHAT WE NEED TO DO N N IS PURCHASE THE BIBLES, FINISH THEHEURCHASE OF THE 04:26 BIBLESES 04:27 WE PUT A DOWN PAYMENT ON THEM. 04:28 THEN WE NEED TO DISTRIBUTE THEM. 04:30 WE'VE GOT SOME YOUNG MEN WHO ARE WILLING TO HELP. 04:32 WHAT W WRE TRYING TO DOOIS GET E 04:32 VEHICLE FOR THEM SO THAT 04:34 THEY CAN GET AROUND. 04:35 IF YOU JUST WANT TO KNOW WHAT THIS AREA KIND OF IS LIKE, IT'S ABOUT THE SIZE 04:37 OF TEXAS AND NEW MEXICO C CBINED. 04:39 SO JUST IMAGINE GOING FOUR WHEELING SOME E TERNOON ACROSS ALL OF TEXAS. 04:41 AND I UNDERSTAND IT'S UNCHCHTED TERRITORY. 04:43 SURE. 04:44 NO ROADS AND THERE ARE JUST ENCAMPMENTS OR VILLAGES. 04:46 LL TYPICALLY THERE ARE NOT ROADS. 04:48 SOSOOU HAVE TO HAVE A GOOD VEHICLE. 04:50 SO WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO, WE'RE TRYING TO EQUIP THESE YOUNG MEN TO BE ABLE 04:54 DO O E WOWO THAT THEY FEEL GOD D S CALLED THEM TO DO. 05:18 THERE IS A NEED FOR 35 THOUSAND DOLLARS FOR A VEHICLE AND 25 THOUSAND 05:23 LLARARFOR R E BIBLESES 05:25 WE NEED TO SEE SOME MONEY. 05:27 WE'RE LOOKING FOLKS AT A CHALLENGE OF 60 THOUSAND DOLLARS. 05:34 JUST T TNK OF THIS. 05:35 IF THERE WAS A BIBLE PER VILLAGE DISTRIBUTED THE WORD OF GOD IS AVAILABLE 05:42 TO THOSESEEOPLE. 05:43 IT IS. 05:44 WE CAN'T EVEN BEGIN TO DREAM OF HOW MANY PEOPLE THOSE 24 THOUSAND BIBLES 05:49 MIGHT REACH. 05:51 SO WE'RE MAKING AN APPEAL RIGHT NOW. 05:54 YOU KNOW ALL ABOUT GOSPEL TREACH'S ADDRESS AND SO FORTH THERE BEFORE YOU. 05:59 WE'RE ASKING YOU TO PRAYERFULLY CONSIDER THISIS CRENT 21ST CENTURY 06:06 CHALLELEE TO GOSPSP OUTUTACH. 06:10 WE MAY COME BACK WITH A LITTLE ADDITIONAL WORD ABOUT IT, BUT FOR NOW 24 06:15 THOUSAND BIBLES, ABOUT 25 THOUSAND DOLLARS, A FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE VEHICLE. 06:19 THE BEST THAT CAN BE CONSIDERED NOW IS 35 THOUSASANDOLLARS, BUT FOR 06:23 THE DIDIRIBUBUON BY THESE YOUNG MEN TO VILLAGES, ENCAMPMPMES OF PEOPLE WHO 06:29 HAVE NEVERERAD T THEWORD OF F D. 06:31 THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THAT. 06:39 TO B BE MORE BRIEFER MIKE TUTORIAL THAN WE'DPROGRAM LIKE IT TO BE.D IT'S GOING 06:42 BUT YOU FOLKS DESERVE TO KNOW SOMETHININ ABOUT THE MUSLIM WORLD. 06:48 ANKLY IT'S BEEN TOO MUCH AS FAR AS W WIN THEHEWEST " 06:55 VERSUS " "TH" OR PEOPLE THAT BROUGHTHTEAR R TOS. 06:59 THERE ARE SOME BASIC THINGS THAT YOU DESERVE TO KNOW. 07:05 SO I'M ASKING YOU TO LISTEN CAREFULLY AND LISTEN FAST AS MIKE PORTER 07:10 BRININ US A BIT 07:10 OF TUTORIAL. 07:12 SO TAKE US THROUGH. 07:13 WELL, I'LL DO MY BEST. 07:14 YOU KNOW IT'S AN OPPORTUNITY TO JUST THINK ABOUT THIS WORLD WE THINK 07:19 OF AS ISLAM, THE MUSLIM WORLD. 07:21 SOME OF US ARE AFRAID. 07:23 WE THINK THAT IT MUST BE A WHOLE WORLD OF TERRORISM. 07:26 WE THINK IT IS, WE THINK IT IS THAT. 07:28 BUT THERE ARE SOME THINGS THAT CAN BE HELPFUL AS WE ACTUALLY GIVE SOME THOUGHT 07:35 TO THIS. 07:36 THE SIMPLE FACT THAT WE'VE GOT SO MANY MUSLIMS IN THE WORLD, IT'S SOMEWHERE 07:43 CLOSE TO 1.3.31.4 4 LLIOIO 07:46 IT'S ABOUT 20 PERCENT OF THE WORLD'S POPULATION. 07:49 BUT THE QUESTION FOR US, I I INK, IS JUST TO UNDERSTANDND LITTLE BIT. 07:54 AND AS I TOUCHED ON IN OUR LAST EPISODE, THIS WORD MUSLIM IS A FASCINATING 08:00 WOWO IN FACT. 08:02 A PERSON WHO IS A MUSLIM IN HIS LANGUAGE, THE ARABIC LANGUAGE, 08:08 UNDERSTANDS THAT HE IS ONE WHO IS SUBMITTED TO GOD. 08:12 SO ARE YOU AND I MUSLIMS THEN? 08:22 YOU KNOW WHAT, PEOPLE ASK ME THAT AND IN THE LITERAL EVERYBODODIS A MUSLIM. 08:24 AMEN. 08:25 I HOPE EVERYONE IS A MUSLIM BECAUSE WE ALL MUST BE SUBMITTED TO GOD 08:30 COMPLETELYLYND FULLY. 08:32 NOW ISLAM IS A SIMILAR WORD. 08:34 IT HAS TO DO WITH "TO SUBMIT" IT'S KIND OF THE INFINITIVE. 08:37 SO REALLY WHEN WE'RE TALKING ABOUT A MUSLSL PERSON WE'RE TALKING ABOUT 08:41 A PERSON WHO IS DEDICATED 08:41 AND COMMITTED TO BEING IN FUFU SUBMISSION TO GOD. 08:49 WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT MUSLIMS AROUND THE WORLD A LOT OF THINGS COME TO OUR 08:55 MIMIS. 08:56 YOU KNOW THERE ARE QUESTIONS THAT WE MIGHT HAVE, AND I DO NOT WANT TO 09:04 IS IS NOT ABOUT T AT DEBATE, I JUST WANT TO SAY HERE'S SOMETHING TO THINK 09:09 ABOUT. 09:10 HERE'S A WAY TO POTENTIALLY LOOK AT SOMETHING. 09:12 ANOTHER QUESTION THAT COMES TO MIND SO OFTEN IS WHO I IALLAH? 09:17 WHO IS THIS ALLAH PERSON? 09:18 YOU KNOW WE HAVE TO ASK FIRST OF ALL WHAT IS THE WORD AND WHERE DID IT COME 09:24 OM. 09:25 WELL IT'S AN ARABIC WORD FOR GOD. 09:28 AND INTERESTINGLY LONG BEFORE THERE WAS EVER A MUSLIM, ALLAH WAS ALREADY 09:36 GOD OF THE BIBLE. 09:37 WOW, INTERESTING. 09:39 SO IF YOU ACTUALLY ARE READING THE BIBLE IN A COUNTRY SUCH AS THE MIDDLE 09:46 EASTERN COUNTRIES WHERE ARABIC IS THE E NGUAGE ORORVEN THE INDONESIAN 09:50 UNTRIES, YOU WILL READ, IN THE BEGINNING ALLAH EATED THE HEAVENS AND 09:55 THE EARTH . 09:57 SO WE HAVE THE VERY STRAIGHT FORWARD SITUATION HERE REALLY THAT THE WORD 10:02 JUST MEANS GODOD 10:03 NOW IN ARABIC "AL" MEANS "THE GOD." 10:07 THAT'S RIGHT AND "ALLAH" IS GOD SO IT JUST MEANS THE GOD. 10:13 THAT REALLY IS ALL THAT WE'RE LOOKING ATATERE. 10:17 NOW WE COULD ASK THE QUESTION WHO IS ALLAH, LOOKING AT SOME OTHER 10:20 LANGUAGEGE 10:21 THE ARAMAIC "ALLAHA". 10:24 IT'S A SIMILAR SOUNDING WORD EVEN, THE LANGUAGE THAT JESUS NO DOUBT SPOKE 10:29 WHEN HE E S HERE. 10:30 HEHEEW, " ELOAH." 10:31 YOU KNOW, YOU LOOK AT THESE WORDS AND YOU RECOGNIZE FAIRLY QUICKLY 10:37 THAT T TY HAVE SOME SIMILARITIES. 10:46 WOUND UP AND WE THINK TO WELL, "ALLAH" WE DON'T KNOW IF HE IS SOME KIND OF 10:50 A STRARAE GOD, IS HE A 10:50 MOON GOD, ALL THESESTHINGS THAT SOMOMIMES I'VE HEARD 10:54 SAID. 10:55 BUT ANOTHER WAY TO LOOK AT IT IS TO JUST SIMPLY RECOGNIZE THAT THE KORAN 11:01 INTRODUCES SOME E OPLE TO ALLAH THE CREATOR GOD, THE ONE WHO MADE THE WORLD. 11:06 SOM I WRONONTHEN TO SAY I HAVE ATTETETED TO ONNOCCASIOS 11:16 SIMPLY THE ARABIC NAME FOR OUR GOD. 11:22 HE IS SIMPLY THE NAME FOR, IF YOU WANT TO GO DIRECTLY TO THE KORAN, THE CREATOR 11:28 D. 11:29 THE ONE WHO MADE THE WORLD IN SEVEN DAYS. 11:32 AND BY THE WAY RESTED ON T T SABBATH ACCORDING TO THE KORAN, YES. 11:38 WOWO 11:43 AND I THINK ALL ACTUALLY OUR VIEWERS ARE GOING TO UNDERSTAND WHY I CALL THIS 11:46 A TUTORIAL BECAUSE YOU'RE LEARNINGNGOME THINGS THAT MAYBE YOU HADN'T THOUGHT 11:50 ABOUOUBEFOFO. 11:51 CONTINUE PLEASE. 11:52 OKAY. 11:53 THERE'S ANOTHER QUESTION THAT SOMETIMES COMES TO MIND AND THAT IS WHAT DOES 11:58 THE KORAN TEACH ABOUT JESUS BEING NOT THE SON OF GOD. 12:02 OKOK. 12:04 NOW THIS IS NOT AN EASY QUESTION BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY CHRISTIANS BELIEVE JESUS 12:09 IS T T SON OF GOD 12:09 AND WOULD DIE FOR THAT AND AT'S A WHOLE FUNDAMENTAL 12:15 PRPRCIPLE OR EMISISA SASAOR. 12:16 HE GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON. 12:18 THAT'S EXACTLY RIGHT. 12:19 BUT WHAT I DISCOVERED WITH A LITTLE MORE CAREFUL RESEARCH INTO THE ACTUAL 12:27 MEANING OF THE ARABIC ON THIS. 12:30 IT TURNS OUT THAT WHEN WE ACTUALLY TAKE A LOOK AT IT AN UNDERSTAND OF WHAT THE 12:35 KORAN ACACALLY SAYS ABOUT JESUS BEININTHE SON OF GOD CAN BE VERY HELPFUL HERERE 12:40 D HERE'S WHAT THE ACTUAL MEANING IS. 12:43 I NEVER THOUGHT OF THIS UNTIL I SAW THIS. 12:46 GOD THE FATHER DID NOT HAVE SEXUAL RELATIONSHIP WITH MARY TO PRODUCE A 12:50 SON. 12:52 WELL, HELLO. 12:53 DO YOU KNOW ANYBODY THAT THINKS THAT? 12:55 OF COURSE NOT. 12:58 YOU DON'T THINK THAT. 12:59 CHRISTIANS DON'T THINK THAT. 13:00 MUSLIMS DON'T THINK THAT. 13:01 IT WOULD BE ANATHEMA FOR THAT TO HAPPEN. 13:04 IT WOULD BE BLASPHEMOUS. 13:05 IT WOULD BE BLASPHEMOUS ABSOLUTELY. 13:07 SO WE WOULD READILY AGREE THAT ABSOLUTELY THIS IS NOT THE CASE. 13:12 AND THIS UNDERSTANDING ALONE CAN BREAK DOWN AN AWFUL LOT OF THE WALL THAT 13:17 YOU MENTIONED. 13:18 THE WALL THAT'S THERE FOR THE MISUNDERSTANDING OF WHO JESUS REALLY IS. 13:23 THAT ALONE IS A BIG G LP. 13:27 OKAY, LET'S CONTINUE. 13:40 SINCE WE ARE TALKING ABOUT JESUS BEING THIS PERSON IN THE KORAN. THIS PERSON IN 13:41 HE HAS ANOTHER NAME IN THE KORAN, HIS NAME IS "ISA." 13:43 WELL, IT'S N N ANONOER NAME IT'S JUST THE ARABIC TRANSLATION OF OUR JESUS. 13:53 EXACTLY. 13:54 BUT MANY TIMES THE NAMES ARE DIFFERENT. 13:56 SURE, OF COURSE. 13:57 THEY HAVE DIFFERENT NAMES FROM DIFFERENT PROPHETS. 14:07 BUT ONE OF THE THINGS THAT IS FASCINATING, AND BY THE ART IS AVAILABLE.TICULAR 14:09 IF PEOPLE WANT TO JUST WRITE INTO GOSPEL OUTREACH I'M SURE WE COULD MAKE 14:12 THESE AVAILABLE TOTOHEM. 14:14 YOU KNOW, THIS IS OCCASION FOR ME TO DO THIS MIKE BECAUSE WE KNEW IN ADVANCE 14:18 LKS THATATOU WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO READADHIS FROM THE REEN BECAUSE OF THE TYPE 14:24 AND THE SIZE OF THE FONT, SO PLEASE KNOW THAT YOU CAN WRITE OR CALL THE 14:30 ADDRDRS ONONHE S SEENNFOR R SPEA 14:30 PY O OTHISISILL BE MADAD 14:36 AVAVLABLBL 14:37 AND I WANT TO TELL YOU IT'S VERY INSTRUCTIVE. 14:39 IT WILL OPEN YOUR EYES TO A AUMBER OF THINGS THAT YOU PROBABLY NEVER THOUGHT 14:44 OFOFEFORE. 14:45 SO IF YOU WOULD LIKE THIS REFERENCE TO JESUS IN THE KORAN, PLEASE GET IN TOUCH 14:51 WITH GOSPEL OUTREACH 14:51 ANANREQUEST IT. 14:54 OKAY, LET'S PROCEED. 14:55 HAPPY TO DO IT. 14:56 GOING BACK TO OUR HANDOUT HERE ON THE SCREEN, WE'VE GOT THE COMMON VIEWS, AND 15:01 WE CAN GO BABA ONE IF YOU DON'T MIND. 15:03 WE'VE GOT THE COMMON VIEWS OF JESUS IN THE KORAN. 15:07 'S'S FASCINATING STUDY. 15:08 THERE ARE A BUNCH OF THEM HERE, AND I'M NOT GOING TO READ THEM ALL BUT ISA IS 15:13 THE SON OF MARY. 15:15 ISA IS THE MESSIAH. 15:16 ISA IS THE SERVANT OF GOD. 15:17 ISA IS A PROPHET. 15:19 ISA IS THE APOSTLE OF GOD. 15:20 ISA IS THE WORD OF GOD. 15:23 ISA IS THE WITNESS. 15:24 AND IT GOES RIGHT ON DOWN. 15:26 HE WAS LEAD BY THE SPIRIT. 15:27 ISA WOULD DIE FOR UNBELIEVERS. 15:30 HE IS THE LIFE GIVER. 15:32 HE IS THE RESURRECTION FROM THE DEAD. 15:34 HE IS COMING AGAIN BY THE WAY. 15:41 AND THAT TO ME WAS VERY FASCINATING THAT IN THE COMING AGAIN.HES JESUS IS 15:42 ABSOLUTELY. 15:43 WHAT A MORE SPECIAL CONNECTION TO ADVENTISTS THAN TO THE COMING OF 15:49 JESUS IN THE KOROR. 15:51 ONE YOUNG MAN CAME TO ME SOME TIME BACK AND ASKED ME THE QUESTION. 15:57 HEHEAIAI"I'V'VBEENENOOKIKI AROUND TOWN ANANI'VEVEEENNTHESE" 16:03 HE SAID, " "VE LOOKED 16:03 ON THE WEB, I'I' LOOKED EVERYWHERE AND I CAN'T 16:09 FIGURE O O WHAT THTH MEANS." 16:10 HE SAID, "SO WHAT IS THIS ADVENTIST CHURCH ABOUT?" 16:15 I SAIDID"WELEL THE ADVENT MEANS THE COMING OR THE COMING OF ISA OR JESUS." 16:23 HE STOPPED ME IN MY TRACKS. 16:25 HE SAID, "WELL, I'M LOOKING FOR THE SECOND COMING OF ISA." 16:28 SO WE JUJU CONTINUED OUR DISCUSSION FROM THTHE. 16:40 HERE'S ONE OF THOSE WEST AND THEECTING POINTS "US" AND "THEM."D EAST AND 16:42 SO THAT'S THE REASON WE WANT TO SHARE THIS. 16:44 WE MUST HUHUY ON. 16:45 WE HAVE TO HURRY ON. 16:47 SOMETHING THAT MIGHT BE HELPFUL TO OUR VIEWERS JUST TO GET A LITTLE IDEA 16:50 OF W WT THE MUSLIM MAIN TEACHINGS ARE. 16:53 OKAY. 16:54 NOW THERE ARE FIVE OF THEM, THERE ARE FIVE PILLARS. 16:57 THE SHAHADAH THAT IS THE TESTIMONY OF FAITH. 17:01 THAT WOULDLDE SOMETHING SIMILAR TO MAYBE THE CHRISTIAN BAPTISM WHERE 17:05 YOU ARE BAPTIZED IN BECOMING A AELIEIER WITH JESUS. 17:09 THE SHAHADAH , IT'S THE SHARING OF A PERSONAL EXPERIENCE?
