Welcome to another
edition of Bible Alive.
00:00:18.61\00:00:20.72
I am very excited today. I have
a great friend Danny Vierra.
00:00:20.75\00:00:24.18
Danny, I'm glad you
are here with me today!
00:00:24.21\00:00:25.40
Thank you Dwight.
00:00:25.43\00:00:26.57
We've known each other
for at least 25 years I think.
00:00:26.60\00:00:29.40
And our hair, we were
talking about it before
00:00:29.43\00:00:32.23
we got on the air that our
hair is just a little grayer.
00:00:32.26\00:00:34.75
But at least we are even on that
but I want to just share with
00:00:34.78\00:00:38.67
the audience what you
do. You've got a ministry
00:00:38.70\00:00:40.26
It's called Modern
Manna. And what is...
00:00:40.29\00:00:42.35
It's in the health
but what is that about?
00:00:42.38\00:00:44.30
Well, Modern Manna I
call God's health messages...
00:00:44.33\00:00:45.31
He's trying to lead the people
into the Promise Land today.
00:00:45.34\00:00:49.97
Okay.
00:00:50.00\00:00:50.97
And you know the
story of manna in the Bible.
00:00:50.98\00:00:52.77
Yup.
00:00:52.80\00:00:53.77
Well the Lord is giving a plant
based diet today that I think
00:00:53.78\00:00:56.75
is the healthiest and
we'll show that from science
00:00:56.78\00:00:59.00
We'll show it
from the scriptures
00:00:59.03\00:01:00.03
and we'll show it
from our own lives
00:01:00.06\00:01:01.34
and from our own stories.
And Modern Manna is just a
00:01:01.37\00:01:04.42
very special ministry that
combines health with the gospel.
00:01:04.45\00:01:07.61
And I think
those two must blend...
00:01:07.64\00:01:10.20
Absolutely.
00:01:10.23\00:01:11.20
...you know. And especially
in our witness today to people
00:01:11.21\00:01:14.12
as Christians because many times
the body of Christ is very much
00:01:14.15\00:01:17.40
into the forgiveness and
the relationship we can have
00:01:17.43\00:01:20.27
with Jesus and eternal life.
And that's totally right on.
00:01:20.30\00:01:24.08
But they leave out the other
part. Jesus did more healing
00:01:24.11\00:01:27.06
than preaching!
00:01:27.09\00:01:28.65
That's right he did.
00:01:28.68\00:01:29.65
And so Modern Manna is
really emphasizes that.
00:01:29.66\00:01:32.00
And we have a lifestyle
center called Bella Vita
00:01:32.03\00:01:34.91
that people come to
from all over the world
00:01:34.94\00:01:36.99
with different
ailments, different problems
00:01:37.02\00:01:39.19
they want to learn about health
and nutrition and how to take
00:01:39.22\00:01:42.23
better care of themselves.
So the Lord's blessed us with a
00:01:42.26\00:01:45.47
multi faceted ministry that
incorporates a number of health
00:01:45.50\00:01:50.92
health modalities and
programs and educational things
00:01:50.95\00:01:54.85
like our health crusade
we do every year in Lodi.
00:01:54.88\00:01:57.50
That draws over 2000 people.
And people are just hungry
00:01:57.53\00:02:01.70
about health!
00:02:01.73\00:02:02.70
They really are. I mean there's
more disease... and then we've
00:02:02.71\00:02:04.91
got the Health Care
package that... we've gotta...
00:02:04.94\00:02:07.28
an argument around the world
and some people want it one way
00:02:07.31\00:02:09.67
and some people want
it the other and yet...
00:02:09.70\00:02:11.14
we're going to be talking about
not that, but how we can make a
00:02:11.18\00:02:15.22
difference,ourselves with health
reform, and how it goes along
00:02:15.25\00:02:19.97
the scriptures and health.
And I just want to share that
00:02:20.00\00:02:23.61
the very first time I met
Danny, I'll never forget, Danny
00:02:23.64\00:02:29.23
I was out in
California to preach
00:02:29.26\00:02:31.64
with some other
ministers out there
00:02:31.67\00:02:33.98
and we stayed at your house.
and you and I, for those who
00:02:34.02\00:02:39.16
don't know, you use to be
Catholic, is that correct?
00:02:39.19\00:02:42.06
and before that you said, I
think you told me you use to
00:02:42.09\00:02:44.41
be an atheist. Well I was
Catholic, for most of my life
00:02:44.44\00:02:48.48
I went to twelve years of
Catholic school, and all that
00:02:48.51\00:02:51.12
but, when I went to UC Davis
and graduated I took a class
00:02:51.15\00:02:54.84
called philosophy of religion
and that's when I bought the
00:02:54.87\00:02:57.24
atheist stuff. So I
was Catholic turned atheist
00:02:57.27\00:03:01.21
Adventist, you turned Adventist
But you and I sat there
00:03:01.24\00:03:05.85
and I think we stayed up
and we were talking about this
00:03:05.88\00:03:07.75
before we got on the show here
We were intemperate that night
00:03:07.78\00:03:12.10
Maybe, maybe not, but the Lord
stayed up sometimes at night
00:03:12.13\00:03:15.54
That's it, but you know
we were up till three in the
00:03:15.57\00:03:18.49
morning, and we had such a
kindred spirit and that was
00:03:18.52\00:03:21.23
25 years ago. Because we
were so on fire for the Lord,
00:03:21.26\00:03:25.20
we wanted the Lord to take all
of our hearts and not a part it
00:03:25.23\00:03:28.08
and I'll never forget that,
and I'm just glad you're with us
00:03:28.11\00:03:30.22
today. Thank you. And
we're not probably just
00:03:30.25\00:03:32.36
be able to do one show,
it looks like we're going to
00:03:32.51\00:03:34.72
have a series of why health
is so important, So before we
00:03:34.75\00:03:38.77
get started. I want you to
open your bibles to Genesis
00:03:38.80\00:03:41.38
'cause we're going to start in
the book of Genesis and we'll do
00:03:41.41\00:03:45.07
that right now. And
before we start I want to have a
00:03:45.10\00:03:46.91
word of prayer.
00:03:46.94\00:03:47.91
Genesis, it talks about
obviously, God's perfect plan
00:03:48.77\00:03:53.31
for Adam and Eve before
sin. So we'll go right to the
00:03:53.34\00:03:56.08
beginning of Genesis
here, and we can go over that
00:03:56.11\00:03:58.58
But before we start,
Danny why don't you have for
00:03:58.61\00:04:02.60
the audience here. Okay.
00:04:02.63\00:04:03.84
Heavenly Father, we are so
grateful to you for your word
00:04:04.87\00:04:08.95
But gives us instruction
not only in the wait for eternal
00:04:08.98\00:04:13.68
life, and the way to heaven
But also the way that we can
00:04:13.71\00:04:17.76
prevent disease. And we can have
a healthy long life. So Father,
00:04:17.79\00:04:23.06
I pray for Your Holy Spirit,
today that You will enlighten
00:04:23.09\00:04:25.67
Dwight and I, and our audience
that they will be more receptive
00:04:25.70\00:04:30.15
to receive these beautiful
health truths, that You have
00:04:30.18\00:04:32.94
contained in Your word.
Thank you I pray in Jesus
00:04:32.97\00:04:36.26
name. Amen. You
know our program,
00:04:36.29\00:04:39.05
obviously is called Bible
Alive But this to me, is a very
00:04:39.08\00:04:43.42
important part about not
just where the bible is alive
00:04:43.45\00:04:46.46
but the bible, you
know, Jesus became the word,
00:04:46.49\00:04:49.13
He lived in the flesh and that's
our job, is to surrender all
00:04:49.16\00:04:52.93
we have, that people won't say
Danny or Dwight but they'll say
00:04:52.96\00:04:55.73
Jesus, and part of
that being alive, is health.
00:04:55.76\00:04:59.32
Absolutely,
00:04:59.35\00:05:00.32
That's a part of it.
00:05:00.33\00:05:01.30
You know, let me
share one scripture that...
00:05:01.31\00:05:03.36
You know, when you say a word
my mind flashes to a scripture.
00:05:03.40\00:05:06.86
You just said, Bible Alive,
and I want to give this as our
00:05:06.89\00:05:10.84
key health text. Good, Good.
00:05:10.87\00:05:13.27
This is in Deuteronomy,
Chapter six verse 24.
00:05:13.30\00:05:17.11
Deuteronomy, chapter six verse
24. and here's what it says.
00:05:17.34\00:05:23.41
So, God's in the preserving
preventative health business
00:05:36.12\00:05:41.20
and I like to say you know
we hear all this on health care
00:05:41.23\00:05:43.97
reform. I just take
one word out of there.
00:05:44.00\00:05:46.55
Let's take care out for a minute
and call it health reform and I
00:05:46.58\00:05:49.99
think America, is in dire needs
of a education on how to take
00:05:50.02\00:05:56.62
care of your body. You know
I did a sermon a long time ago
00:05:56.65\00:05:59.90
Dwight, and I learned that
Babylonian medicine, dealt with
00:05:59.93\00:06:05.31
diagnosing cure. But Hebrew
medicine, dealt with prevention.
00:06:05.34\00:06:10.25
And if I can say anything
initially here, is prevention
00:06:10.28\00:06:14.57
is key. Prevention is key.
It's much easier to prevent
00:06:14.60\00:06:19.09
cancer. Than it is
to try to heal cancer.
00:06:19.12\00:06:21.68
So let's remember that.
God wants to preserve us alive
00:06:21.71\00:06:24.69
and prevention is key.
That's right, and of course
00:06:24.72\00:06:27.01
that goes along, even with...
I can remember my grandmother
00:06:27.04\00:06:30.90
and saying that a pound of
prevention is worth a something.
00:06:30.93\00:06:35.16
An ounce of
prevention, is a pound of cure.
00:06:35.19\00:06:37.27
A pound of cure. I mean, it's
a kind of like if you take care
00:06:37.30\00:06:40.02
of pennies the dollars
will take care of themselves.
00:06:40.05\00:06:41.74
I mean they knew that! They knew
that prevention was mightily
00:06:41.77\00:06:45.06
important and I know that
today. and I you know of course,
00:06:45.09\00:06:47.83
you've had a fitness center for
years. And we had people coming
00:06:47.86\00:06:51.06
in that.. I went to school with
I'm in my fifties and I went to
00:06:51.09\00:06:55.27
school with these people, and
some of them I don't even notice
00:06:55.30\00:06:57.26
they look so changed,
and they come in and here's
00:06:57.29\00:07:00.51
what they've told us
in the fitness center..
00:07:00.54\00:07:02.34
Changed in the wrong way?
Changed in, yea, they're over
00:07:02.37\00:07:05.60
weight, they've started
with arthritis, they're knuckles
00:07:05.63\00:07:09.14
don't move as
well, and the kind of
00:07:09.17\00:07:11.87
you know once you get in your
fifties, and your getting ready
00:07:11.90\00:07:13.90
to retire, you know it's
kind of like rocking chair days.
00:07:13.93\00:07:17.61
and it doesn't have to be that
way. And they'll tell me Dwight
00:07:17.64\00:07:20.96
I don't care, what I have to
do if I have to change my diet,
00:07:20.99\00:07:24.80
and if it tastes like cardboard
I don't care, because I'm tired
00:07:24.83\00:07:28.68
of living the way I'm living.
And so, really, with what I've
00:07:28.71\00:07:32.64
seen, personally in health,
people are tired of feeling
00:07:32.67\00:07:36.49
the way they are,
and yet the bible has...
00:07:36.52\00:07:39.10
I mean it's got a
whole health message in it
00:07:39.13\00:07:41.44
we're right in Deuteronomy
six let's just go to Deuteronomy
00:07:44.02\00:07:47.01
chapter seven. I love this,
to me this is a key chapter in
00:07:47.04\00:07:52.26
regards to God's health program.
In Deuteronomy chapter seven
00:07:52.29\00:07:57.57
just verse nine.
00:07:57.60\00:07:59.25
and then it says in eleven
00:08:09.10\00:08:10.19
and then he goes on
and says in verse 13
00:08:15.38\00:08:18.08
and here comes
the health message,
00:08:18.11\00:08:19.44
verse 14 and 15 are the key.
00:08:32.33\00:08:34.61
it's interesting that I
read reports 70 Adventists live
00:08:43.01\00:08:45.61
seven to eleven years
longer than other people.
00:08:45.64\00:08:48.89
National Geographic did
an article on that, I mean...
00:08:48.92\00:08:51.91
that's National Geographic,
it's not by Adventist standard,
00:08:51.94\00:08:54.25
it's by world
standard. And now the key in 15
00:08:54.28\00:08:57.90
Now, again that's prevention
so God's saying I keep my
00:09:05.08\00:09:08.40
covenant with you,
I'm God, you're my people,
00:09:08.43\00:09:11.26
If you hearken unto Me,
and follow my health program
00:09:11.29\00:09:15.40
you will not get disease.
That's what it's saying to me
00:09:15.43\00:09:19.36
And I'll even heal you. So
many times and I've learned,
00:09:19.39\00:09:22.43
this in natural medicine,
we cause our own diseases.
00:09:22.46\00:09:26.02
And here's a simple illustration
A man goes to the doctor
00:09:26.05\00:09:28.82
and says, Hey Doc! it
hurts every time I do this
00:09:28.85\00:09:32.00
and the doctor
says, well don't do that.
00:09:32.03\00:09:34.19
And I'd like to say that
to our listening people today,
00:09:34.22\00:09:37.43
You know, If your smoking
cigarettes, if your drinking
00:09:37.46\00:09:40.52
alcohol if you're taking in a
lot caffeinated beverage if your
00:09:40.55\00:09:44.11
eating sugar and refrying
foods, then expect disease.
00:09:44.14\00:09:47.99
But if you will
follow God's health program,
00:09:48.02\00:09:50.32
that we'll share over the course
of this series, you'll find
00:09:50.35\00:09:53.44
that you can avoid
the diseases of Egypt.
00:09:53.47\00:09:56.41
Yes
00:09:56.44\00:09:57.41
And you can be healthy
and God has a better way.
00:09:57.42\00:09:59.82
And even though, there's people
that can get sick they've got
00:09:59.85\00:10:03.22
Maybe from birth, and all
these things that still can be
00:10:03.25\00:10:06.39
sickbess but we're talking
about the majority of the people
00:10:06.42\00:10:09.14
that are here, in the world
could prevent much of their
00:10:09.17\00:10:14.52
diseases, many of
them all of their diseases
00:10:14.55\00:10:17.17
if they would just heed to
God's book, so let's go back in
00:10:17.20\00:10:20.33
to Genesis, Okay.
00:10:20.36\00:10:21.58
So let's go to
Genesis I love this because,
00:10:21.61\00:10:24.75
I just want to
share as I'm turning here.
00:10:24.78\00:10:27.52
I, obviously won't give my
testimony it would take too long
00:10:29.16\00:10:33.17
we couldn't get to what we
really need to get done, but
00:10:33.20\00:10:35.92
I grew up in.. I
started out in a Baptist church,
00:10:35.95\00:10:39.80
became a 70th Adventist,
and I left the church completely
00:10:39.83\00:10:44.43
I just.. was tired of playing
church, and I've said that
00:10:44.46\00:10:47.51
I don't want to play church.
When I came back, to the Lord,
00:10:47.54\00:10:50.86
I bought a bible and
said, and I actually held it up
00:10:50.89\00:10:53.31
to the Lord, I'm going to
study this thing, even if it's
00:10:53.34\00:10:55.13
the most boring book
I've ever read in my life.
00:10:55.16\00:10:57.91
Cause even though
there were stories about,
00:10:57.94\00:10:59.31
Daniel and the Lion's
Den and Noah and Moses,
00:10:59.34\00:11:02.89
certain neat stories, I didn't
understand so much of the bible.
00:11:02.92\00:11:06.02
And I wanted to but, I couldn't
make it practical so therefore
00:11:06.05\00:11:10.75
that's why we have this program.
But the thing is, I had somebody
00:11:10.78\00:11:14.13
give me health book, cause I was
drinking 18 to 20 cups of coffee
00:11:14.16\00:11:17.58
a day, I was eating a
lot of meat, lot of cheese,
00:11:17.61\00:11:23.50
probably 2 to 3 gallons
of milk every single week,
00:11:23.53\00:11:27.53
of course I was young, I was on
the city basketball league and
00:11:27.56\00:11:30.82
I was on the city bowling
league I just love sports,
00:11:30.85\00:11:34.07
so I was very
outgoing and exercised a lot.
00:11:34.10\00:11:37.52
And you need all that protein.
00:11:37.55\00:11:39.19
Yeah.
00:11:39.22\00:11:40.19
I didn't even know about
the protein, I just liked milk
00:11:40.20\00:11:42.44
and I liked that
stuff, but anyways, my diet,
00:11:42.47\00:11:44.70
really was atrocious, and so
somebody gave me a health book
00:11:44.73\00:11:48.21
and I started reading about
that and then what happened
00:11:48.24\00:11:50.92
was when I gave my heart to
the Lord, it's kind of funny,
00:11:50.95\00:11:53.78
actually, I was a vegetarian
before I quit drinking alcohol.
00:11:53.81\00:11:56.34
'Cause I
thought... Healthy alcoholic!
00:11:56.37\00:11:59.63
I thought if I'd quit
everything else, I'd be okay
00:11:59.66\00:12:02.97
you know, we've all said. Hey
everyone's gotta have a little
00:12:03.00\00:12:06.66
vise. But that's not true. But
when I got into the scriptures
00:12:06.69\00:12:09.60
Danny, and started realizing
that God wanted to restore me,
00:12:09.63\00:12:13.24
Dwight Hall, back into his
image and that part of that,
00:12:13.27\00:12:16.46
is body, mind and
soul. You know the spirit of
00:12:16.49\00:12:20.62
physical, mental and spiritual
that he wanted me to have a
00:12:20.65\00:12:23.84
healthy body in this earth.
So that my mind would be clear
00:12:23.87\00:12:26.77
and my spiritual aptitude would
be clear, and I didn't know
00:12:26.80\00:12:29.79
that I thought, I'm not going
to have my body anyway in heaven
00:12:29.82\00:12:32.30
if I go there, but He started
training me, and teach me
00:12:32.33\00:12:35.59
through this scriptures,
that it was important.
00:12:35.62\00:12:37.44
And that's where I
got back to Genesis.
00:12:37.47\00:12:38.64
That's my little story.
00:12:38.67\00:12:40.04
So, God has a
diet? in the bible?
00:12:40.07\00:12:42.40
You tell me.
00:12:42.43\00:12:43.75
Let's read it!
00:12:43.78\00:12:44.75
So go ahead...
Let's start in Genesis
00:12:44.96\00:12:46.52
Genesis, chapter, where is that?
00:12:48.65\00:12:50.98
Chapter 1. In the
very... it's amazing in the very
00:12:51.01\00:12:54.53
first chapter. So go
ahead and read that Danny.
00:12:54.56\00:12:56.66
I like the fact that,
you know on verse 26 it says
00:12:56.69\00:12:59.96
He wasn't hunting them and
fishing them, and eating them
00:13:07.94\00:13:09.94
at this time,
they were companions.
00:13:09.97\00:13:12.74
and then verse 29 is the
key text, when it comes to
00:13:18.40\00:13:21.87
health in the bible and
God's original first diet plan
00:13:21.90\00:13:26.24
for his creations. And who would
know better what you should eat
00:13:26.27\00:13:30.89
than the One who
made you. so it says,
00:13:30.92\00:13:33.69
it says in one version here,
so God gave an original diet
00:13:46.49\00:13:50.65
in Eden, and it was produce,
it was plants it was fruit!
00:13:50.68\00:13:55.42
and what I like about this is,
we also learned there is no fire
00:13:55.45\00:13:59.33
in heaven, or in the
earth, when he was making it.
00:13:59.36\00:14:02.86
There was no
death, there was no fire.
00:14:02.89\00:14:04.59
There was no ovens
00:14:04.62\00:14:06.70
Yes.
00:14:06.73\00:14:07.70
And they weren't cooking
the food to death, and what not
00:14:07.71\00:14:09.56
but I think of live living fresh
fruit and I got 80 fruit trees
00:14:09.59\00:14:12.81
on my property.
00:14:12.84\00:14:13.81
Wow.
00:14:13.82\00:14:14.79
And one day my daughter came to
me in the morning and she says,
00:14:14.80\00:14:16.67
so Dad, what's for
breakfast? And I said,
00:14:16.70\00:14:18.73
Well let's look around the
garden and I said there's plums,
00:14:18.76\00:14:21.62
and there's peaches, and there's
apricots, and there's nectarine
00:14:21.65\00:14:24.41
she said, I want that
big red peach over there.
00:14:24.44\00:14:27.42
and it was a strawberry
that's got the red bursting
00:14:27.45\00:14:31.43
around the seed, and I
pulled the limb down to her face
00:14:31.46\00:14:35.24
and I said, she starts to pluck
it and I said, No, just leave it
00:14:35.27\00:14:38.68
there, and she took a big bite
off the tree, and I said now
00:14:38.71\00:14:41.65
that's live food there. So God
is trying to preserve us alive.
00:14:41.68\00:14:45.33
He put us in a garden,
we were created in his image
00:14:45.36\00:14:48.72
in his likeness, and
he gave us living food.
00:14:48.75\00:14:51.28
With the enzymes, and
the proanthocyanidins,
00:14:51.31\00:14:54.86
and the vitamins and the
minerals, and the trace elements
00:14:54.89\00:14:57.81
and the pure water that's in
them. They're life sustaining
00:14:57.84\00:15:03.28
nutrients in that food
that's no colesterol, high fiber
00:15:03.31\00:15:08.12
high energy, and who
doesn't like a peach?
00:15:08.15\00:15:11.42
And I was just saying that,
I was just sharing that with me
00:15:11.45\00:15:13.65
that.. Oh I have to
say that I like peaches.
00:15:13.68\00:15:16.07
But, He must of given that diet
after Adam and Eve sinned right?
00:15:16.10\00:15:21.09
No, no, no, no,
00:15:21.12\00:15:22.27
So you're telling
me, that He had a diet..
00:15:22.30\00:15:24.24
before there was
any sin, in other words,
00:15:24.27\00:15:25.73
They had these glorified
bodies, when they were created,
00:15:25.76\00:15:28.18
with no sin, and He still had
owner's manual for their health?
00:15:28.21\00:15:32.06
That's right!
00:15:32.09\00:15:33.06
I mean a lot of people..
00:15:33.07\00:15:34.04
That's very important!
00:15:34.05\00:15:35.02
If you think about
that, 'cause people will say
00:15:35.03\00:15:36.42
Well it doesn't
matter about my body today,
00:15:36.45\00:15:38.53
I've got this sinful body,
and I'm going to get rid of it,
00:15:38.56\00:15:40.63
when I go to heaven,
and have another one.
00:15:40.66\00:15:41.80
Yet, God, in the very
beginning, before there was sin.
00:15:41.83\00:15:44.15
One of the very first... I
mean it's Genesis chapter 1,
00:15:46.33\00:15:48.32
that He says, Hey, I
have a health plan, for you
00:15:48.35\00:15:53.78
so that your mind can stay clear
and your spiritual aptitude
00:15:53.81\00:15:58.86
can stay sharp,
cause of my diet.
00:15:58.89\00:16:01.13
Absolutely. You know
what's important to is,
00:16:01.16\00:16:02.89
to realize this,
if you went to a zoo.
00:16:02.92\00:16:05.66
They give a diet, they feed
certain foods to certain animals
00:16:05.69\00:16:10.75
Okay, so the zebra, they
don't bring ground round.
00:16:10.78\00:16:14.04
Yeah. Right.
00:16:14.07\00:16:15.44
They give it to the lions, but
they don't give it to zebra or
00:16:15.47\00:16:22.06
the horses or
whatever. And so, it doesn't say
00:16:22.09\00:16:25.15
God put you in a slaughter
house, it doesn't say put you in
00:16:25.18\00:16:28.91
meat packing plant.
He put you in a garden.
00:16:28.94\00:16:31.62
And I think, you know I
said this, to you yesterday,
00:16:31.65\00:16:33.73
If you just look at your
hand, and you put your...
00:16:33.76\00:16:36.07
I like this! you
gotta, I like this,
00:16:36.10\00:16:37.85
If you take your
hand, God created me.
00:16:37.88\00:16:40.70
I take my hand and I hold
it out to you here, and I see
00:16:40.73\00:16:44.68
you can do this at home right
now, every fingers a different
00:16:44.71\00:16:47.35
length, but if you turn
it they're all the same.
00:16:47.38\00:16:50.33
Perfectly designed for picking
apples, oranges, and peaches
00:16:50.36\00:16:54.62
and plums. So God
designed us to eat produce.
00:16:54.65\00:16:59.54
And you look at the anatomy,
you look at the diet he gave
00:16:59.57\00:17:03.32
in Eden, and like you
said, this was before sin.
00:17:03.35\00:17:05.46
That's right.
00:17:05.49\00:17:06.46
Very important.
00:17:06.47\00:17:07.44
Well, I will say it
again, as you were saying that,
00:17:07.45\00:17:09.13
that he knew the very best
plan when there was no sin,
00:17:09.16\00:17:12.59
Right.
00:17:12.62\00:17:13.59
Now, I know that, you know
of course, studying, gettin in
00:17:13.60\00:17:16.25
to a little bit deeper but, our
bodies were never really made
00:17:16.28\00:17:21.18
for animal products. and
of course, we're not cutting
00:17:21.21\00:17:24.15
anyone down, on the
air about animal products,
00:17:24.18\00:17:26.87
But what we're trying to do
here is take.. make the bible
00:17:26.90\00:17:29.99
come alive, we are not
here to offend anybody,
00:17:30.02\00:17:32.56
we're not here to cut
anybody down, but you know
00:17:32.59\00:17:35.06
the thing with this
is, the bible is so plain
00:17:35.09\00:17:36.86
and God wants us to be happy,
He wants us to be spiritually
00:17:36.89\00:17:41.51
and mentally stable.
We're living in the last days.
00:17:41.54\00:17:43.68
I mean, even people that don't
go to church say, "Dwight. "
00:17:43.71\00:17:47.25
I mean, I got a lot of friends
that don't go to any church
00:17:47.28\00:17:50.84
and they will come up to me and
they'll say, "Dwight, I can tell
00:17:50.87\00:17:53.41
you one thing. I don't
know if I believe about
00:17:53.44\00:17:55.06
all your religion but I
can tell you something's wrong
00:17:55.09\00:17:56.98
in this earth. I mean,
I've never seen it like
00:17:57.01\00:18:00.03
this in my entire life and God
is yet has prepared for us even
00:18:00.06\00:18:04.61
in these last
days. How to be healthy.
00:18:04.64\00:18:06.71
How to be well. And I
think that's what we need
00:18:06.74\00:18:09.05
to understand is that what we're
doing here in this programs is
00:18:09.08\00:18:12.40
taking some Biblical principles
and make them practical in
00:18:12.43\00:18:16.95
your lives, in our lives
so that we can be more adapted
00:18:16.98\00:18:22.75
and more ready for what's about
to take place because if we're
00:18:22.78\00:18:25.78
not physically ready,
how will we be mentally or
00:18:25.81\00:18:29.03
spiritually ready.
00:18:29.06\00:18:30.03
You know, it's very important
you said that because this isn't
00:18:30.04\00:18:31.92
about judging people.
This is isn't about condemning
00:18:31.95\00:18:35.30
anybody because they eat
an animal product or not.
00:18:35.33\00:18:37.84
I think what this is about is
trying to teach you God's plan
00:18:37.87\00:18:41.96
and using science to support
that a plant based diet is the
00:18:41.99\00:18:47.42
healthiest for you
today. In fact, I like to say it
00:18:47.45\00:18:50.24
this way. This is
in Isaiah chapter 65.
00:18:50.27\00:18:52.93
Okay.
00:18:52.96\00:18:53.93
It says on verse 17 of Isaiah 65
00:18:53.94\00:18:57.13
And in verse 21 it says
00:19:03.49\00:19:04.88
Verse 25. It says
00:19:14.77\00:19:16.04
And now, that's interesting
because we find there's no more
00:19:21.20\00:19:23.82
death and the earth made
new. Animals are eating straw.
00:19:23.85\00:19:28.28
There's no killing.
00:19:28.31\00:19:29.43
Well, the lion.
00:19:29.46\00:19:30.43
The lion which is a cannibal so
anyway I wanna tell the story.
00:19:30.44\00:19:35.09
I was walking once
with a Pentecostal minister.
00:19:35.12\00:19:37.86
A friend of mine and he's
looking at me and we're talking
00:19:37.89\00:19:40.78
about health and I said, "I
know what you're thinking. "
00:19:40.81\00:19:43.27
And he goes, "What?" And
I said, "You're thinking I'm
00:19:43.30\00:19:46.18
trying to eat my way in
Heaven and he goes, "Well. "
00:19:46.21\00:19:49.09
And I put my arm around him and
I said, "You know, brother I'm
00:19:49.12\00:19:52.04
just used getting used to
the diet I'm gonna eat when
00:19:52.07\00:19:53.99
I get there.
00:19:54.02\00:19:54.99
Amen. Amen.
00:19:55.00\00:19:55.97
And he said,
"That's pretty good. "
00:19:55.98\00:19:56.98
Probably said to shame.
00:19:57.01\00:19:58.33
He did but science support it.
You know, look at all the food's
00:19:58.36\00:20:03.39
markets today. Look at
the protuss out in front
00:20:03.42\00:20:06.18
of those places
and then you see.
00:20:06.21\00:20:08.13
You know, I have reports and
let me just share one little one
00:20:08.16\00:20:12.47
right now that I think
it's very important and this
00:20:12.50\00:20:16.56
is very interesting.
This is the American Cancer
00:20:16.59\00:20:19.89
Society study links Meat
consumption calling cancer
00:20:19.92\00:20:23.63
is that the study of
nearly a 150 thousand Americans,
00:20:23.66\00:20:28.12
the largest and most
comprehensive today add
00:20:28.15\00:20:31.94
sunstantially to previous
evidence linking highest
00:20:31.97\00:20:35.06
consumption of red and processed
meat to intestinal cancer.
00:20:35.09\00:20:39.73
It is published in the January
12th 2005 issue of the journal
00:20:39.76\00:20:45.84
of the American
Medical Association, the dioma.
00:20:45.87\00:20:49.85
And here's what it said
and I want you to guess.
00:20:49.88\00:20:52.15
For red meat, prolonged high
consumption was described as at
00:20:52.18\00:20:57.06
least, how many ounces daily for
men and how many ounces daily
00:20:57.09\00:21:01.39
for women. Would
you think's gonna
00:21:01.42\00:21:03.03
contribute to greater
amounts of colon cancer.
00:21:03.06\00:21:05.24
What would you think?
00:21:05.27\00:21:06.24
I don't know. To
be honest, I'd just
00:21:06.25\00:21:08.12
be guessing.
00:21:08.15\00:21:09.12
Okay. 3 ounces.
00:21:09.13\00:21:10.85
That's not very
much. 2 ounces for women
00:21:10.88\00:21:14.63
That means this much meat a
day's gonna increase your chance
00:21:14.66\00:21:18.71
of column cancer according
to the journal of American
00:21:18.74\00:21:21.03
Medical Association.
00:21:21.06\00:21:22.20
We've only got a short
time before we take a break but
00:21:22.23\00:21:26.40
I think the audience,
you know, they here this
00:21:26.43\00:21:30.08
but I used to
wander so why is that.
00:21:30.11\00:21:32.55
Why is it that meat
would cause colon cancer?
00:21:32.58\00:21:36.48
And I learned it 'coz I start
reading health books years ago.
00:21:36.51\00:21:39.38
What makes it different?
Why is it that meat would?
00:21:39.41\00:21:43.35
You want me to answer that?
00:21:43.38\00:21:44.62
Yeah
00:21:44.65\00:21:45.62
I think there's several reasons.
First of all, I think there's no
00:21:45.63\00:21:48.10
fiber so therefore your
intestines were designed to take
00:21:48.13\00:21:53.00
in food that had high
fiber which was like a broom for
00:21:53.03\00:21:57.31
the intestines. We put out.
00:21:57.34\00:21:59.21
So in other words and I quoted
this to, this was in European
00:21:59.24\00:22:04.22
Journal of Cancer in 2004 that
constipation increases the risk
00:22:04.25\00:22:07.89
of colon cancer.
Okay so why is that?
00:22:07.92\00:22:11.01
It's sitting there longer.
Okay it begins to putrefy
00:22:11.04\00:22:14.32
and rot. The other
thing is that they've
00:22:14.35\00:22:16.62
linked, saturated animal fat
or saturated fats to an increase
00:22:16.65\00:22:21.16
of colon cancer, breast
cancer, prostate cancer.
00:22:21.19\00:22:24.26
I think another major reason
and I predicted this would
00:22:24.29\00:22:28.33
happen on my 12 years I
did radio on our show called
00:22:28.36\00:22:31.38
Healthline, where people had
to call in with questions live.
00:22:31.41\00:22:34.12
Dr. T. Kollin Campbell in
the largest study ever on cancer
00:22:34.15\00:22:39.27
and nutrition. I think
this is the best book out
00:22:39.30\00:22:41.45
called the China
study. His a Phd from Cornell.
00:22:41.48\00:22:45.06
He has come out and said that
the number one carcinogen in
00:22:45.09\00:22:49.23
America is animal
protein so think about that.
00:22:49.26\00:22:53.16
The protein content in animal
food, he says, can turn cancer
00:22:53.19\00:22:57.01
on like a light switch so
you got animal protein, you got
00:22:57.04\00:23:00.57
animal fat and you have
no fiber so that's why it
00:23:00.60\00:23:04.32
increases the chance of
colorectal cancer which is the
00:23:04.35\00:23:07.26
2nd leading cause of
death from cancer in America
00:23:07.29\00:23:11.42
according to
America Cancer Society.
00:23:11.45\00:23:13.34
Okay. Well. Think
about that while we
00:23:13.37\00:23:16.84
take a break Don't go away.
00:23:16.87\00:23:18.28
We'll be right back.
00:23:18.31\00:23:19.28
Welcome to the last
study Bible you'll ever need.
00:23:54.69\00:23:57.44
The new Remnant Study Bible
has all the study aids serious
00:23:57.47\00:24:01.30
Bible students
have come to expect.
00:24:01.33\00:24:03.34
Like book
introductions and outlines,
00:24:03.37\00:24:05.52
and extensive concordance,
00:24:05.55\00:24:07.07
over 40,000 cross references,
words of Christ in red,
00:24:07.10\00:24:10.91
maps and charts. But
with hundreds of other study
00:24:10.94\00:24:14.86
Bibles on the market, the
Remnant Study Bible stands
00:24:14.89\00:24:17.62
head and
shoulders above the rest.
00:24:17.65\00:24:19.56
Not only because it's everything
you've always needed in a Study
00:24:19.59\00:24:22.68
Bible but because it
takes studying the Bible
00:24:22.71\00:24:25.18
to an entirely new level.
From the hottest pen since the
00:24:25.21\00:24:29.28
Bible prophets, the
masterful commentary of
00:24:29.31\00:24:32.05
E.G. White is now included.
Alongside, the new King James
00:24:32.08\00:24:36.02
Bible text. As you
read, these thought
00:24:36.05\00:24:38.37
provoking nuggets
stand out from the main Bible
00:24:38.40\00:24:40.71
text and offers spirit filled
insight to bring text to life
00:24:40.74\00:24:44.14
in an inspiring
and practical way.
00:24:44.17\00:24:46.16
If we stopped right
there, this Bible would be an
00:24:46.19\00:24:48.73
invaluable resource
to every home but keep
00:24:48.76\00:24:51.32
watching we're
just getting started.
00:24:51.35\00:24:53.17
The Remnant Study Bible offers
extensive study tools but not
00:24:53.20\00:24:58.10
help you understand but also
enable you to share these truth
00:24:58.13\00:25:01.99
with others in a
whole new and effective way.
00:25:02.02\00:25:05.12
Feel confident as you
share on topics such as the
00:25:05.15\00:25:08.31
prophecies in
Daniel chapters 2, 7 and 8
00:25:08.34\00:25:11.45
and the 2300 Day Prophecy.
See the plan of salvation
00:25:11.48\00:25:15.50
plainly revealed in the
sanctuary and study the miracles
00:25:15.53\00:25:18.76
and parables of Jesus in a
deeper way than ever before.
00:25:18.79\00:25:22.36
But perhaps one of the
most powerful features of the
00:25:22.39\00:25:24.94
Remnant Study Bible is the
built in Bible chain reference
00:25:24.97\00:25:28.30
A ready to go Bible Study
system that will allow you to
00:25:28.33\00:25:31.53
effectively guide yourself
or student through major
00:25:31.56\00:25:34.60
Bible teachings. Select
the topic for study from
00:25:34.63\00:25:37.88
the 20 included topics
and turn to the verse text.
00:25:37.91\00:25:40.86
To help you find the text
quickly a chain link has been
00:25:40.89\00:25:44.12
placed to the side of the text
that expands the entire passage
00:25:44.15\00:25:47.74
to be read. After
you read and discuss
00:25:47.77\00:25:50.01
the verse, a
reference to the next text
00:25:50.04\00:25:52.03
and the chain is found
at the end of the passage.
00:25:52.06\00:25:54.51
These subjects are made
crystal clear as the Bible
00:25:54.54\00:25:57.60
interprets itself.
Remnant has teamed with
00:25:57.63\00:25:59.84
Thomas Nelson Publishers.
Working together for over a year
00:25:59.87\00:26:03.22
making this the best study
Bible ever offered at any price.
00:26:03.25\00:26:07.16
After the team of over
30 Spirit-led contributors,
00:26:07.19\00:26:10.81
prayerfully and carefully
selected the comments of
00:26:10.84\00:26:13.56
E.G. White. We
compiled the notes, images,
00:26:13.59\00:26:16.44
tools and resources. And
these were all edited by the
00:26:16.47\00:26:20.09
world class editing
team at Thomas Nelson.
00:26:20.12\00:26:22.82
We have gone to great links
to make this Bible one that
00:26:22.85\00:26:26.43
you will be confident to
use as you study and share.
00:26:26.46\00:26:29.58
The apostle, Peter,
makes a bold call to all
00:26:29.61\00:26:33.55
generations to be part of
God's special forces team.
00:26:33.58\00:26:36.98

to provide you with the most
00:26:37.01\00:26:40.04
powerful sword
of truth available.
00:26:40.07\00:26:42.24
Now the decision
is in your own hands.
00:26:42.27\00:26:44.84
Will you accept the challenge
to become part of God's
00:26:44.87\00:26:48.50
last day army?
Equip yourself today.
00:26:48.53\00:26:52.06
I'm glad that
you stayed with us.
00:26:57.62\00:26:58.76
You know, I don't know about you
but everytime we do this Bible
00:26:58.79\00:27:01.49
Alive programs they just seem
to go like that and we're almost
00:27:01.52\00:27:04.78
out of time but, you
know, Danny, I was just thinking
00:27:04.81\00:27:08.86
that one thing that we
were talking about is that
00:27:08.89\00:27:12.83
There's two things.
People aren't exercising like
00:27:12.86\00:27:14.92
they used to to pass the ways
to long and the other thing of
00:27:14.95\00:27:17.57
it is meat takes a lot
longer to digest than others.
00:27:17.60\00:27:20.39
Right. I think that people have,
you know, some basic things
00:27:20.42\00:27:23.74
that they can start to practice
in their own lives but eat more
00:27:23.77\00:27:27.70
plant foods and get
more exercise and that's a
00:27:27.73\00:27:29.64
great start.
00:27:29.67\00:27:30.64
Well, we're gonna
have to do this again.
00:27:30.65\00:27:32.61
Listen, until next time.
Make sure you join us again but
00:27:32.64\00:27:34.78
it's never too late to have
a better way of life so what?
00:27:34.81\00:27:37.26
Don't put it off.
00:27:37.29\00:27:38.99
By working together,
1.7 million copies of the
00:27:39.02\00:27:42.86
Passion of Love were distributed
around the country resulting in
00:27:42.89\00:27:46.53
unprecedented partnership
with Walmark that led to over a
00:27:46.56\00:27:50.09
thousand Bible
studies. By working together,
00:27:50.12\00:27:53.75
over 6 million copied of the
ten commandments twice removed
00:27:53.78\00:27:57.30
were shared around the
world resulting in more than 20
00:27:57.33\00:28:00.66
churches now
keeping the Bible Sabbath.
00:28:00.69\00:28:03.19
By working today, we
have shipped over a million
00:28:03.22\00:28:06.68
Bibles to spiritually
thirsty Christians in Africa.
00:28:06.71\00:28:09.78
Touching the lives of 20
million people for Christ.
00:28:09.81\00:28:13.05
Working together is what allows
Remnant Publications to spread
00:28:13.08\00:28:18.36
truth filled books
around the world to hasten the
00:28:18.39\00:28:21.29
Lord's coming.
Will you join us in
00:28:21.32\00:28:23.91
that mission? Will
you help us reach the
00:28:23.94\00:28:26.48
world for Jesus
one book at a time?
00:28:26.51\00:28:27.49
