>> FROM ARCADIA, CALIFORNIA,
THE CARTER REPORT PRESENTS
00:00:07.83\00:00:10.50
"THE LIVING
WORD" AROUND THE WORLD.
00:00:10.50\00:00:14.70
>> THERE ARE TWO THINGS THAT
00:00:17.26\00:00:17.33
A PASTOR SHOULDN'T DO.
00:00:18.73\00:00:21.10
HE SHOULDN'T TELL LIES
AND HE SHOULDN'T RETIRE.
00:00:21.10\00:00:25.93
THAT'S WHY I PLAN TO KEEP ON
KEEPING ON WHILE GOD CAN STILL
00:00:25.93\00:00:30.13
USE ME.
00:00:30.13\00:00:31.36
WHILE THESE LUNGS ARE WORKING,
WHILE THIS MOUTH IS TALKING
00:00:31.36\00:00:35.03
AND WHILE JESUS IS STILL ALIVE
AND I'M STILL ALIVE, I PLAN TO
00:00:35.03\00:00:37.70
KEEP ON PREACHING
THE EVERLASTING GOSPEL.
00:00:39.63\00:00:43.00
WILL YOU PRAY FOR ME?
00:00:43.00\00:00:44.16
WILL YOU SUPPORT
US IN THIS GREAT WORK?
00:00:44.16\00:00:46.56
LISTEN, WE HAVE RECEIVED
AN URGENT INVITATION FROM
00:00:46.56\00:00:48.63
THE CHURCH IN INDIA.
00:00:50.70\00:00:52.20
THEY'RE SAYING,
"COME OVER AND HELP US."
00:00:52.20\00:00:55.93
WHAT A CHALLENGE, MY FRIEND.
00:00:55.93\00:00:57.43
DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY PEOPLE
LIVE IN THE LAND OF INDIA?
00:00:57.43\00:01:00.40
MORE THAN A THOUSAND MILLION
PEOPLE AND THE PLACE IS FULL OF
00:01:00.40\00:01:03.26
DEMONS AND EVIL SPIRITS.
00:01:05.43\00:01:07.83
THEY DON'T WANT THIS CAMPAIGN,
THOSE EVIL SPIRITS, BUT I WANT
00:01:07.83\00:01:11.66
YOU TO KNOW JESUS IS
STRONGER THAN THE EVIL SPIRITS.
00:01:11.66\00:01:16.00
LAST TIME WE WENT TO INDIA,
WE HAD TREMENDOUS OPPOSITION.
00:01:16.00\00:01:19.53
OUR LIVES WERE THREATENED, BUT
BY THE GRACE OF GOD, WE'RE GOING
00:01:19.53\00:01:22.70
TO GO BACK BECAUSE
JESUS HAS CALLED US TO GO.
00:01:22.70\00:01:26.66
WHEN WE WENT THERE LAST TIME, WE
SAW THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE COMING
00:01:26.66\00:01:30.36
TO CHRIST.
00:01:30.36\00:01:31.10
ONE NIGHT 30,000 PEOPLE CAME
TO CHRIST, HINDUS AND MUSLIMS.
00:01:31.10\00:01:33.23
WE'RE PRAYING, JESUS,
00:01:33.23\00:01:36.23
DO IT AGAIN.

[APPLAUDING]
COULD YOU IMAGINE HOW
00:02:45.56\00:02:49.73
HOT ARE THEY?
00:02:49.73\00:02:52.36
THEY'RE SUCH HOT POTATO.
00:02:52.36\00:02:55.63
I'VE--IN FACT I'M GETTING
ASPHYXIATED FROM THESE POTATOES.
00:02:55.63\00:02:59.50

WELL, YOU'VE BEEN OUR CHEF IN

00:03:13.36\00:03:18.43
IS THERE ANYTHING
GOOD ABOUT A POTATO?
00:03:18.43\00:03:21.30
>> YES, THERE'S PHOSPHOROUS,
CALCIUM, IRON AND VITAMIN C AND
00:03:21.30\00:03:26.63
THERE'S LOTS OF WATER ON IT TOO.
00:03:26.63\00:03:28.16
>> OKAY, DO YOU LIKE POTATOES?
00:03:28.16\00:03:29.70
>> A LITTLE BIT.
00:03:29.70\00:03:30.96
>> YEAH, I LOVE POTATOES.
00:03:30.96\00:03:33.63
I WAS BROUGHT UP
EATING POTATOES IN AUSTRALIA.
00:03:33.63\00:03:37.33

[APPLAUDING]
00:07:09.60\00:07:12.56
>> TODAY WE'RE GONNA HANDLE SOME
00:07:14.50\00:07:14.56
HOT POTATOES, AND I'M JUST
SO GLAD TO HAVE YOU AS MY GREAT
00:07:16.06\00:07:21.93
AUDIENCE HERE TODAY.
00:07:21.93\00:07:23.60
NOW WE'RE GONNA DO SOMETHING
TODAY WHICH WE'VE NEVER DONE
00:07:23.60\00:07:27.13
BEFORE, BUT YOU'RE A PART OF
THE AUDIENCE AND WE'RE JUST SO
00:07:27.13\00:07:32.36
DELIGHTED THAT
YOU'VE COME FROM SO FAR.
00:07:32.36\00:07:35.03
MANY OF YOU FOLKS TRAVEL LONG
DISTANCES TO COME TO OUR CENTER
00:07:35.03\00:07:38.30
HERE IN ARCADIA IN
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA.
00:07:38.30\00:07:39.26
AND TODAY WE'RE DEALING WITH
00:07:39.26\00:07:41.63
SOME TOUGH BIBLE QUESTIONS, AND
WE'RE GOING TO TAKE TELEPHONE
00:07:43.66\00:07:47.86
CALLS FROM ACROSS
THIS GREAT LAND OF
00:07:47.86\00:07:50.83
THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
00:07:50.83\00:07:52.53
WE'RE GOING TO MAKE THIS
A FEATURE IN OUR PROGRAMS
00:07:52.53\00:07:55.20
AND WE'LL BE TAKING CALLS FROM
AROUND THE WORLD, BUT TODAY IT'S
00:07:55.20\00:07:58.93
HERE IN THE UNITED STATES.
00:07:58.93\00:08:01.30
AND THE FIRST
PERSON IS ON THE LINE.
00:08:01.30\00:08:02.76
>> HI, DR. CARTER, THIS IS ALAN.
00:08:02.76\00:08:06.33
I CALLED BECAUSE I'M VERY
CURIOUS AS TO WHY GOD ALLOWED
00:08:07.93\00:08:11.40
POLYGAMY IN THE OLD TESTAMENT,
AND IF YOU COULD HELP ME OUT BY
00:08:11.40\00:08:14.20
ANSWERING THAT, I'D
BE GREATLY APPRECIATIVE.
00:08:14.20\00:08:16.60
THANK YOU.
00:08:16.60\00:08:17.50
>> GOOD QUESTION.
00:08:17.50\00:08:19.16
THERE'S NO DOUBT ABOUT
IT, POLYGAMY IS TAUGHT IN
00:08:19.16\00:08:21.10
THE OLD TESTAMENT.
00:08:21.10\00:08:22.46
NOT IN THE NEW TESTAMENT,
BUT POLYGAMY IS FOUND IN
00:08:22.46\00:08:23.70
THE OLD TESTAMENT.
00:08:23.70\00:08:26.23
NOW EVERYBODY KNOWS, I
IMAGINE, WHAT POLYGAMY IS.
00:08:27.73\00:08:32.30
POLYGAMY IS WHEN A
MAN HAS MULTIPLE WIVES.
00:08:32.30\00:08:37.43
AND YOU FIND THAT THIS IS SO
IN THE OLD TESTAMENT, AT LEAST
00:08:37.43\00:08:39.96
ON A NUMBER OF OCCASIONS.
00:08:39.96\00:08:41.60
WE'RE GONNA TAKE OUR BIBLES AND
WE'RE TURN FIRSTLY TO GENESIS 25
00:08:41.60\00:08:46.20
AND THE FIRST TEXT
IS, WHAT DID I SAY?
00:08:46.20\00:08:48.36
GENESIS 25:5-6, IT
SAYS, "ABRAHAM LEFT EVERYTHING
00:08:49.20\00:08:57.30
HE OWNED TO ISAAC.
00:08:57.30\00:09:00.53
BUT WHILE HE WAS STILL LIVING,
HE GAVE GIFTS TO THE SONS OF HIS
00:09:00.53\00:09:05.06
CONCUBINES AND SENT THEM AWAY
FROM HIS SON ISAAC TO THE LAND
00:09:05.06\00:09:09.50
OF THE EAST."
00:09:09.50\00:09:10.43
AND SO IT'S QUITE APPARENT
IN THE BIBLE THAT POLYGAMY WAS
00:09:10.43\00:09:15.53
PRACTICED, HOWEVER, THIS WAS
NOT GOD'S ORIGINAL INTENTION.
00:09:15.53\00:09:21.76
IF YOU COME OVER TO THE WORDS
OF OUR LORD IN THE NEW TESTAMENT
00:09:21.76\00:09:25.66
AND COME OVER
HERE TO MATTHEW 19:7-8.
00:09:25.66\00:09:33.53
ALAN, THIS IS JESUS TALKING.
00:09:33.53\00:09:39.46
THEY'RE DISCUSSING DIVORCE.
00:09:39.46\00:09:41.50
"'WHY THEN,' THEY ASKED,
'DID MOSES COMMAND THAT A MAN
00:09:41.50\00:09:44.90
GIVE HIS WIFE A CERTIFICATE
OF DIVORCE AND SEND HER AWAY?'
00:09:44.90\00:09:49.56
JESUS REPLIED, 'MOSES PERMITTED
YOU TO DIVORCE YOUR WIVES
00:09:49.56\00:09:54.50
BECAUSE YOUR HEARTS WERE HARD.
00:09:54.50\00:09:57.23
BUT IT WAS NOT THIS
WAY FROM THE BEGINNING.'"
00:09:57.23\00:10:01.36
WHEN YOU READ THE BOOK OF
GENESIS, WE'RE TOLD THAT GOD
00:10:01.36\00:10:04.06
CREATED MAN AND WOMAN IN HIS
00:10:04.06\00:10:06.56
OWN IMAGE.
00:10:08.73\00:10:10.36
AND WHEN YOU READ THE STORY OF
GENESIS AT THE VERY BEGINNING,
00:10:10.36\00:10:14.23
IT'S ONE MAN AND IT'S ONE WOMAN.
00:10:14.23\00:10:18.46
GOD IS A VERY, VERY PATIENT
GOD WITH US, JUST AS WELL HE'S
00:10:18.46\00:10:24.96
LIKE THAT.
00:10:24.96\00:10:27.16
BUT AS TIME WENT BY,
PAGANISM JUST ABOUT TOOK OVER
00:10:27.16\00:10:32.30
THE WHOLE WORLD.
00:10:32.30\00:10:34.03
IT BECAME THE ACCEPTED CUSTOM
AND BECAUSE THESE PEOPLE WERE
00:10:34.03\00:10:39.96
EVEN THE PEOPLE OF GOD BECAME
INFLUENCED BY THE DARKNESS
00:10:39.96\00:10:44.93
OF THE AGE, GOD
PERMITTED SOME THINGS.
00:10:44.93\00:10:48.83
GOD ALLOWED THEM TO DO IT,
BUT GOD WAS REVEALING GREAT
00:10:48.83\00:10:53.73
GOSPEL TRUTHS.
00:10:53.73\00:10:55.83
AND WHEN THOSE GOSPEL
TRUTHS CAME, SLAVERY WENT.
00:10:55.83\00:10:59.50
NOW YOU FIND SLAVERY ALL
THE WAY THROUGH THE BIBLE.
00:10:59.50\00:11:02.46
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
HAD SLAVES UNTIL ONLY RELATIVELY
00:11:02.46\00:11:06.30
RECENT TIMES.
00:11:06.30\00:11:07.80
BUT AS THE GOSPEL WAS PREACHED
AND AS THE LIGHT OF THE GOSPEL
00:11:07.80\00:11:12.66
WENT OUT AROUND THE WORLD,
SO SLAVERY WAS DONE AWAY WITH
00:11:12.66\00:11:16.56
AND ALSO POLYGAMY.
00:11:16.56\00:11:20.16
NOW THERE IS A GREAT CHURCH
IN AMERICA THAT USED TO PRACTICE
00:11:20.16\00:11:23.23
POLYGAMY AND THEY DO IT
ON THE BASIS OF THE BIBLE,
00:11:23.23\00:11:26.16
THE OLD TESTAMENT.
00:11:26.16\00:11:27.50
BUT IF A PERSON DEFENDS POLYGAMY
TODAY, HE OUGHT ALSO TO DEFEND
00:11:27.50\00:11:33.33
SLAVERY AND BOTH OF
THESE PRACTICES ARE CONTRARY TO
00:11:33.33\00:11:37.16
THE WORD OF GOD.
00:11:37.16\00:11:38.13
COME OVER HERE TO ACTS 17.
00:11:38.13\00:11:41.30
ACTS 17 IN THE NEW TESTAMENT.
00:11:41.30\00:11:45.16
ACTS 17:30.
00:11:45.16\00:11:49.63
ACTS, WHAT DID I SAY?
00:11:45.16\00:11:49.63
CHAPTER 17.
00:11:51.00\00:11:52.03
ACTS 17:30, THE BIBLE SAYS, "IN
THE PAST, GOD OVERLOOKED SUCH,"
00:11:52.03\00:12:00.50
WHAT DOES IT SAY?
00:12:00.50\00:12:01.76
SUCH IGNORANCE.
00:12:01.76\00:12:03.23
"BUT NOW HE COMMANDS ALL
PEOPLE EVERYWHERE TO REPENT."
00:12:03.23\00:12:07.63
THAT'S THE SAME WITH SLAVERY AND
THAT'S THE SAME WITH POLYGAMY
00:12:07.63\00:12:09.56
AND SOME OTHER THINGS THAT WERE
00:12:09.56\00:12:12.23
PRACTICED IN THE BIBLE.
00:12:13.30\00:12:14.93
BECAUSE OF THE DARKNESS OF THE
TIMES, GOD PERMITTED THESE SINS,
00:12:14.93\00:12:20.23
BUT NOW THAT THE GOSPEL HAS
COME, HE COMMANDS MEN AND WOMEN
00:12:20.23\00:12:25.00
EVERYWHERE TO REPENT.
00:12:25.00\00:12:27.23
LET'S TAKE THE
SECOND PHONE CALL, PLEASE.
00:12:27.23\00:12:27.90
>> HI, PASTOR CARTER, THIS IS
00:12:27.90\00:12:29.96
ALMA FROM THE
SANTA CLARITA VALLEY.
00:12:30.66\00:12:32.66
HOW ARE YOU DOING TODAY?
00:12:32.66\00:12:34.16
I HAVE A QUESTION FOR YOU
THAT HAS BEEN PENDING ON MY MIND
00:12:34.16\00:12:36.20
FOR A WHILE.
00:12:36.20\00:12:37.16
AND THE QUESTION IS, IS THERE
A WAY TO LOSE YOUR SALVATION?
00:12:37.16\00:12:41.46
IS THAT POSSIBLE?
00:12:41.46\00:12:43.70
>> THE BIBLE DOES NOT
TEACH THE IDEA OF ONCE SAVED,
00:12:43.70\00:12:47.56
ALWAYS SAVED.
00:12:47.56\00:12:49.63
THERE ARE MANY CHRISTIANS WHO
00:12:47.56\00:12:49.63
BELIEVE THAT ONCE YOU'RE SAVED,
YOU CAN'T BE LOST, AND THIS
00:12:50.50\00:12:52.96
LEADS TO SLACKNESS OF LIVING
AND ANTINOMIANISM WHERE PEOPLE
00:12:52.96\00:12:59.43
BREAK THE COMMANDMENTS OF
GOD AND THEY THINK THEY'RE STILL
00:12:59.43\00:13:02.30
GOING TO BE SAVED.
00:13:02.30\00:13:03.50
THE BIBLE SAYS A PERSON CAN
BE SAVED AND HE CAN LOSE HIS WAY
00:13:03.50\00:13:09.06
AND HE CAN BE LOST.
00:13:09.06\00:13:10.83
WOULD YOU COME OVER
HERE TO LUKE 8 AND VERSES 11
00:13:10.83\00:13:15.60
THROUGH TO 14.
00:13:15.60\00:13:17.10
LUKE 8:11 DOWN TO 14.
00:13:17.10\00:13:25.90
THIS IS THE PARABLE OF THE SOWER
00:13:17.10\00:13:25.90
GIVEN TO US BY JESUS.
00:13:27.80\00:13:30.00
LUKE 8:11, "THIS IS THE MEANING
OF THE PARABLE: THE SEED IS
00:13:30.00\00:13:37.23
THE WORD OF GOD."
00:13:37.23\00:13:38.56
THAT IS WHY IN THIS CHURCH,
WE TELL YOU TO BRING THE BIBLE
00:13:38.56\00:13:41.23
AND THAT IS WHY THE BIBLE
IS PREACHED THIS IN CHURCH.
00:13:41.23\00:13:44.13
YOU SEE?
00:13:44.13\00:13:45.00
"THE SEED IS THE WORD OF GOD.
00:13:45.00\00:13:46.26
THOSE ALONG THE PATH ARE
THE ONES WHO HEAR, AND THEN
00:13:46.26\00:13:49.66
THE DEVIL COMES AND TAKES
AWAY THE WORD FROM THEIR HEARTS,
00:13:49.66\00:13:53.80
SO THAT THEY MAY NOT
BELIEVE AND BE SAVED."
00:13:53.80\00:13:58.40
HERE BELIEVING IS
EQUATED WITH SOMETHING ELSE.
00:13:58.40\00:14:02.73
WHAT IS IT?
00:14:02.73\00:14:03.83
BEING SAVED.
00:14:03.83\00:14:05.43
SO IF A PERSON TRULY
BELIEVES WITH ALL HIS HEART,
00:14:05.43\00:14:08.26
THE BIBLE SAYS, HE'S SAVED.
00:14:08.26\00:14:10.83
SO THAT THEY MAY NOT
BELIEVE AND BE SAVED.
00:14:10.83\00:14:13.83
"THOSE ON THE ROCK ARE THE ONES
WHO RECEIVE THE WORD WITH JOY
00:14:13.83\00:14:18.06
WHEN THEY HEAR IT,
BUT THEY HAVE NO ROOT.
00:14:18.06\00:14:21.70
THEY BELIEVE FOR A WHILE."
00:14:21.70\00:14:23.63
THIS MEANS THEY'RE TRUSTING
CHRIST FOR A WHILE AND THEREFORE
00:14:23.63\00:14:27.63
THEY ARE SAVED FOR A WHILE.
00:14:27.63\00:14:31.26
"BUT THEY HAVE NO ROOT.
00:14:31.26\00:14:33.00
THEY BELIEVE FOR A WHILE,
BUT IN THE TIME OF TESTING
00:14:33.00\00:14:36.33
THEY FALL AWAY.
00:14:36.33\00:14:38.36
THE SEED THAT FELL AMONG THORNS
STANDS FOR THOSE WHO HEAR, BUT
00:14:38.36\00:14:42.46
AS THEY GO ON THEIR WAY THEY ARE
CHOKED BY LIFE'S WORRIES, RICHES
00:14:42.46\00:14:49.63
AND PLEASURES," NOW LISTEN,
ALMA, "AND THEY DO NOT MATURE."
00:14:49.63\00:14:54.86
MONEY, THE LOVE OF MONEY,
ANXIETY, THE CARES OF THIS LIFE.
00:14:54.86\00:14:59.80
THESE ARE THE REASONS
PEOPLE LOSE THEIR SALVATION.
00:14:59.80\00:15:03.90
"BUT THE SEED ON GOOD SOIL
STANDS FOR THOSE WITH A NOBLE
00:15:03.90\00:15:08.43
AND GOOD HEART, WHO HEAR
THE WORD, RETAIN IT, AND BY
00:15:08.43\00:15:12.43
PERSEVERING PRODUCE A CROP."
00:15:12.43\00:15:15.80
IF YOU WANT TO BE
SAVED, YOU GOTTA START WELL.
00:15:15.80\00:15:19.20
YOU GOTTA BELIEVE BUT THE BIBLE
SAYS, YOU'VE GOT TO PERSEVERE
00:15:19.20\00:15:24.30
AND YOU PERSEVERE BY READING
THE WORD OF GOD AND BY PRAYING
00:15:24.30\00:15:29.13
AND BY GOING TO CHURCH AND BY
FEEDING ON THE WORD OF GOD AND
00:15:29.13\00:15:33.36
LETTING THE WORD OF GOD GET DOWN
INSIDE AND MAKING SURE THAT THE
00:15:33.36\00:15:38.10
WORD OF GOD STAYS DOWN INSIDE.
00:15:38.10\00:15:41.56
NOW SOMEBODY ELSE ON THE LINE.
00:15:41.56\00:15:44.90
>> HELLO, HI, MY NAME'S JOSH.
00:15:44.90\00:15:46.53
I'M A COLLEGE STUDENT AND I
WAS WONDERING, SHOULD WE PRAY TO
00:15:46.53\00:15:49.76
JESUS OR TO GOD?
00:15:49.76\00:15:51.70
THANKS PASTOR CARTER.
00:15:51.70\00:15:53.03
>> REALLY GOOD QUESTION
BECAUSE, JOSH, A LOT OF PEOPLE
00:15:53.03\00:15:56.80
ARE CONFUSED ABOUT THIS.
00:15:56.80\00:15:58.46
YOU GO ALONG TO CHURCH
AND PEOPLE WILL PRAY TO GOD
00:15:58.46\00:16:01.83
THE FATHER AND OTHER PEOPLE
WILL PRAY TO JESUS, GOD THE SON.
00:16:01.83\00:16:03.33
NOW IS GOD UNDERSTANDING?
00:16:03.33\00:16:07.43
GOD UNDERSTANDS THE INTENT
OF THE HEART, AND WE SHOULDN'T
00:16:09.00\00:16:12.43
CRITICIZE PEOPLE BECAUSE
THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO PRAY.
00:16:12.43\00:16:15.26
AND THEN SOMETIMES YOU'LL GO
ALONG TO CHURCH AND THE PERSON
00:16:15.26\00:16:18.20
WILL SAY A BEAUTIFUL
PRAYER AND THEN AT THE END OF
00:16:18.20\00:16:20.63
THE PRAYER HE SAYS, AMEN.
00:16:20.63\00:16:22.76
BUT HE DOESN'T SAY
IT IN THE NAME OF JESUS.
00:16:22.76\00:16:26.16
A PRAYER SHOULD BE ADDRESSED TO
GOD THE FATHER AND IT SHOULD BE
00:16:26.16\00:16:30.53
PRAYED IN THE NAME OF JESUS.
00:16:30.53\00:16:33.60
THAT'S WHAT THE BIBLE TEACHES.
00:16:30.53\00:16:33.60
THAT'S WHAT JESUS SAID.
00:16:35.26\00:16:36.30
COME OVER HERE TO MATTHEW 6:9.
00:16:36.30\00:16:40.03
MATTHEW 6:9, "THIS,
THEN, IS HOW YOU SHOULD PRAY."
00:16:40.03\00:16:46.80
NOW JESUS TELLS US, "OUR FATHER
IN HEAVEN, HALLOWED BE YOUR
00:16:46.80\00:16:52.03
NAME."
00:16:52.03\00:16:52.90
WE SHOULD PRAY TO OUR FATHER.
00:16:52.90\00:16:55.13
WE SHOULD PRAY
TO GOD THE FATHER.
00:16:55.13\00:16:58.53
AND THEN IF YOU COME OVER
HERE TO JOHN 14, MATTHEW, MARK,
00:16:58.53\00:17:02.10
LUKE AND JOHN, JOHN 14:13.
00:17:02.10\00:17:08.16
THE BIBLE TELLS US WE NEED TO
PRAY IN THE NAME OF GOD THE SON.
00:17:08.16\00:17:13.96
JOHN 14:13, I BELIEVE IT IS.
00:17:13.96\00:17:22.26
JESUS SAID, "AND I WILL DO
WHATEVER YOU ASK IN MY NAME."
00:17:22.26\00:17:28.43
WE ASK IN HIS NAME.
00:17:28.43\00:17:30.73
"I WILL DO WHATEVER YOU ASK
IN MY NAME, SO THAT THE SON MAY
00:17:30.73\00:17:35.76
BRING GLORY TO THE FATHER."
00:17:35.76\00:17:38.63
"YOU MAY ASK FOR ANYTHING,"
HE SAID, "IN MY NAME."
00:17:38.63\00:17:40.90
AND SO IF YOU WANT TO PRAY AS
00:17:40.90\00:17:43.96
THE BIBLE TEACHES, YOU AND I
OUGHT TO PRAY TO THE FATHER AND
00:17:46.16\00:17:50.80
WE PRAY IN THE NAME OF JESUS.
00:17:50.80\00:17:54.73
I THINK WE'VE GOT SOMEBODY ELSE.
00:17:54.73\00:17:58.63
>> HELLO PASTOR CARTER,
00:17:54.73\00:17:58.63
THIS IS JOSE-- I
WOULD LIKE TO ASK YOU
00:18:00.96\00:18:04.90
A QUESTION, VERY
IMPORTANT QUESTION.
00:18:04.90\00:18:09.56
WHY ARE THERE DIFFERENT
RACES AND HOW DID THIS HAPPEN?
00:18:09.56\00:18:16.20
THANK YOU, PASTOR CARTER.
00:18:16.20\00:18:19.10
>> WELL, JOSE,
THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION.
00:18:19.10\00:18:23.33
WHY ARE THERE DIFFERENT RACES?
00:18:23.33\00:18:26.60
I'M GLAD THERE ARE.
00:18:23.33\00:18:26.60
WE'VE GOT A UNITED NATIONS
RIGHT HERE IN THIS CHURCH.
00:18:28.16\00:18:31.40
WE'VE GOT ANGLO PEOPLE.
00:18:31.40\00:18:34.33
WE HAVE HISPANIC PEOPLE.
00:18:34.33\00:18:36.30
WE HAVE BLACK FOLKS.
00:18:36.30\00:18:38.13
WE HAVE ASIAN FOLKS.
00:18:38.13\00:18:39.93
I'M GLAD THAT
GOD MADE IT THIS WAY.
00:18:39.93\00:18:43.20
IT WOULD BE TOO BAD IF EVERYBODY
MMM, JUST LOOKED LIKE ME.
00:18:43.20\00:18:48.80
[LAUGHING] THAT
WOULD BE ANOTHER SORT OF
00:18:48.80\00:18:52.10
HOT POTATO.
00:18:52.10\00:18:53.20
NOW, WOULD YOU COME OVER HERE TO
THE BOOK OF ACTS, I THINK IT IS,
00:18:53.20\00:18:57.20
YES, CHAPTER 17:26.
00:18:57.20\00:19:01.46
ACTS 17:26, "FROM ONE MAN HE
00:18:57.20\00:19:01.46
MADE EVERY NATION OF MEN, THAT
THEY SHOULD INHABIT THE WHOLE
00:19:08.93\00:19:13.80
EARTH; AND HE DETERMINED THE
TIMES SET FOR THEM AND THE EXACT
00:19:13.80\00:19:18.63
PLACES WHERE THEY SHOULD LIVE."
00:19:18.63\00:19:22.33
THE BIBLE TELLS ME
THAT I AM A CHILD OF GOD.
00:19:22.33\00:19:27.90
NOW THE BIBLE TELLS ME
THAT THE WHOLE OF THE HUMAN RACE
00:19:27.90\00:19:32.56
CAME FROM ONE COUPLE.
00:19:32.56\00:19:35.10
I KNOW I MUST BE TERRIBLY OLD
FASHIONED, BUT I DO NOT BELIEVE
00:19:35.10\00:19:41.90
THAT MY ANCESTORS
CAME DOWN FROM THE TREES.
00:19:41.90\00:19:45.50
DON'T BELIEVE THAT.
00:19:45.50\00:19:47.63
AND SOME OF MY FRIENDS IN
AUSTRALIA, AND YOU KNOW WE USED
00:19:47.63\00:19:50.26
TO BE A CONVICT SETTLEMENT THERE
A COUPLE HUNDRED YEARS AGO,
00:19:50.26\00:19:54.06
A LITTLE BIT LIKE THE
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
00:19:54.06\00:19:57.46
BUT I HAD A FRIEND OVER
THERE WHO WOULD SAY, "I KNOW,"
00:19:57.46\00:20:01.56
HE SAID, "WHAT YOU SAY."
00:20:01.56\00:20:02.96
BUT HE SAID, "I--MY ANCESTORS
MIGHT HAVE SWUNG BY THEIR NECKS,
00:20:02.96\00:20:07.93
BUT THEY NEVER
SWUNG BY THEIR TAILS."
00:20:07.93\00:20:08.80
SO, WE COME FROM THE HAND
00:20:08.80\00:20:11.86
OF GOD.
00:20:15.00\00:20:15.76
WE'RE MADE IN THE IMAGE OF GOD.
00:20:15.76\00:20:17.86
IT APPEARS THAT WHEN GOD
MADE THE HUMAN RACE, HE PUT INTO
00:20:17.86\00:20:26.86
THE GENETIC CODE IN THE
DNA AND THE RNA, A TREMENDOUS
00:20:26.86\00:20:34.20
POTENTIAL FOR VARIATION.
00:20:34.20\00:20:37.16
THIS IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING.
00:20:37.16\00:20:40.03
THERE'S A BOOK BEEN
WRITTEN ABOUT THIS CALLED
00:20:40.03\00:20:42.16
"THE LANGUAGE OF GOD."
00:20:42.16\00:20:44.53
NOW I DON'T AGREE WITH
EVERYTHING IN THAT BOOK, BUT THE
00:20:44.53\00:20:47.43
AUTHOR SAYS, DR. COLLINS SAID,
"IN THE HUMAN GENOME, YOU CAN
00:20:47.43\00:20:54.16
SEE THE LANGUAGE OF GOD WITH
A TREMENDOUS ABILITY TO VARY.
00:20:54.16\00:21:02.30
AND SO HE MADE
TALL, BLACK FOLKS.
00:21:02.30\00:21:06.33
AND HE MADE SHORT
AND FAT WHITE FOLKS.
00:21:06.33\00:21:12.76
HE MADE ALL DIFFERENT TYPES.
00:21:12.76\00:21:14.80
AND OVER THE YEARS, ACCORDING TO
HIS PROVIDENCE, HE ALLOWED THAT
00:21:14.80\00:21:20.33
GENETIC CODE TO GET TO WORK.
00:21:20.33\00:21:22.56
AND THAT GENETIC CODE PRODUCED
ALL THE VARIATION WE SEE TODAY
00:21:22.56\00:21:27.30
IN THE HUMAN RACE.
00:21:27.30\00:21:29.40
BUT THE MOST IMPORTANT THING
IS THAT WE COME FROM THE HAND OF
00:21:29.40\00:21:33.36
GOD AND EVERY PERSON IS
IMPORTANT, MADE IN THE IMAGE
00:21:33.36\00:21:38.66
OF GOD.
00:21:38.66\00:21:40.03
NOW WE'VE GOT
ANOTHER HOT POTATO COMING ON.
00:21:40.03\00:21:41.60
>> HI, PASTOR CARTER.
00:21:41.60\00:21:43.73
MY NAME'S JUSTINE.
00:21:44.46\00:21:45.66
I'M A HIGH SCHOOL
STUDENT FROM CALIFORNIA.
00:21:45.66\00:21:48.20
DOES GOD LOVE HOMOSEXUALS?
00:21:48.20\00:21:50.70
THANK YOU, PASTOR CARTER.
00:21:50.70\00:21:53.20
>> JUSTINE, THE BIBLE TELLS
ME THAT GOD LOVES EVERYBODY.
00:21:53.20\00:21:58.33
I REMEMBER WHEN I FIRST WENT TO
RUSSIA, PEOPLE WOULD SAY TO ME,
00:21:58.33\00:22:01.43
"WHY DO YOU GO TO
THAT GODLESS COUNTRY?
00:22:03.96\00:22:07.63
GOD MUST HATE THE COMMUNISTS."
00:22:07.63\00:22:10.96
I TOLD THEM, GOD
LOVES THE COMMUNISTS.
00:22:10.96\00:22:14.33
GOD LOVES PEOPLE.
00:22:14.33\00:22:15.56
GOD LOVES ATHEISTS.
00:22:15.56\00:22:18.16
GOD LOVES GOOD PEOPLE.
00:22:18.16\00:22:20.36
GOD LOVES BAD PEOPLE.
00:22:20.36\00:22:21.63
GOD LOVES THE HUMAN RACE.
00:22:21.63\00:22:23.96
COME WITH ME TO--I GUESS
IT'S THE MOST WONDERFUL TEXT
00:22:23.96\00:22:27.63
IN THE BIBLE.
00:22:27.63\00:22:29.03
COME OVER HERE TO
JOHN 3:16, PLEASE.
00:22:29.03\00:22:34.30
JOHN 3:16.
00:22:34.30\00:22:37.16
SO IF YOU'RE A HOMOSEXUAL,
I WANT YOU TO KNOW TODAY
00:22:37.16\00:22:41.23
THAT GOD LOVES YOU.
00:22:41.23\00:22:44.50
PLEASE LOOK AT JOHN 3:16.
00:22:44.50\00:22:49.56
WE SHOULDN'T NEED TO TURN
00:22:44.50\00:22:49.56
TO THIS TEXT.
00:22:51.20\00:22:52.56
"FOR GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD THAT
HE GAVE HIS ONE AND ONLY SON,
00:22:52.56\00:22:57.46
THAT WHOEVER BELIEVES IN
HIM SHALL NOT PERISH BUT HAVE
00:22:57.46\00:23:01.56
ETERNAL OR EVERLASTING LIFE."
00:23:01.56\00:23:05.60
I REMEMBER SEEING ON TELEVISION,
A GREAT PARADE IN WASHINGTON.
00:23:05.60\00:23:07.30
AND HOMOSEXUALS WERE MARCHING
00:23:07.30\00:23:10.83
DOWN THE STREET, DEMANDING
THEIR RIGHTS, HOLDING UP SOME
00:23:12.46\00:23:15.70
BIG BILLBOARDS.
00:23:15.70\00:23:18.20
AND THERE WAS A LARGE GROUP
OF CHRISTIANS STANDING OPPOSITE
00:23:18.20\00:23:21.10
AND THEY WERE HOLDING UP THESE
BILLBOARDS THAT SAID, "BURN,"
00:23:21.10\00:23:27.73
IN A DESCRIPTIVE TERM.
00:23:27.73\00:23:29.66
"BURN.
00:23:29.66\00:23:30.73
BURN.
00:23:30.73\00:23:31.60
YOU'RE GONNA
BURN FOREVER IN HELL."
00:23:31.60\00:23:34.16
OTHER PEOPLE WERE HOLDING
UP "IN THE NAME OF JESUS,
00:23:34.16\00:23:37.30
GOD HATES HOMOSEXUALS."
00:23:37.30\00:23:40.13
I WANT YOU TO KNOW
THAT GOD LOVES HOMOSEXUALS.
00:23:40.13\00:23:47.06
HE LOVES HETEROSEXUALS.
00:23:47.06\00:23:49.30
GOD LOVES EVERYBODY.
00:23:49.30\00:23:52.56
WOULD YOU COME
OVER HERE TO ROMANS 5:8?
00:23:52.56\00:23:53.23
ROMANS 5:8.
00:23:53.23\00:23:55.70
AND THE APOSTLE PAUL
SAYS, ROMANS 5:8, "BUT GOD
00:24:00.06\00:24:05.70
DEMONSTRATES HIS OWN LOVE FOR
US IN THIS: WHILE WE WERE STILL
00:24:05.70\00:24:10.76
SINNERS, CHRIST DIED FOR US."
00:24:10.76\00:24:14.06
THE BIBLE TELLS ME THAT
CHRIST DIED FOR SINNERS.
00:24:14.06\00:24:17.23
CHRIST DIED FOR HOMOSEXUALS.
00:24:19.40\00:24:23.26
HE DIED FOR HETEROSEXUALS.
00:24:23.26\00:24:25.43
HE DIED FOR BISEXUALS.
00:24:25.43\00:24:28.13
HE DIED FOR COMMUNISTS
AND HE DIED FOR ATHEISTS.
00:24:28.13\00:24:31.73
JESUS LOVES EVERYBODY.
00:24:31.73\00:24:34.30
BUT I WANT TO MAKE THIS PLAIN
TODAY BECAUSE I DON'T WANT YOU
00:24:34.30\00:24:37.50
TO MISUNDERSTAND THIS.
00:24:37.50\00:24:39.40
I WANT TO MAKE IT
ABUNDANTLY CLEAR THAT GOD LOVES
00:24:39.40\00:24:43.73
HOMOSEXUALS.
00:24:43.73\00:24:44.76
IF YOU'RE A HOMOSEXUAL,
YOU'RE WELCOME IN THIS CHURCH.
00:24:44.76\00:24:48.30
YOU HEAR THIS?
00:24:48.30\00:24:49.26
IF YOU ARE A HOMOSEXUAL,
YOU'RE WELCOME IN THIS CHURCH.
00:24:49.26\00:24:54.83
BUT I WANT YOU
TO NOTICE THIS TEXT.
00:24:54.83\00:24:57.70
THIS IS NOT MY VIEWPOINT.
00:24:57.70\00:24:59.90
IT'S WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS.
00:24:59.90\00:25:01.56
WOULD YOU COME TO ROMANS 1?
00:25:01.56\00:25:03.93
NOW IF YOU COME TO THIS CHURCH
YOU'RE GONNA HEAR THE WHOLE OF
00:25:03.93\00:25:07.30
THE BIBLE.
00:25:07.30\00:25:08.03
WE'RE NOT GONNA WATER DOWN
THE MESSAGE SO THAT WE DON'T
00:25:08.03\00:25:11.33
OFFEND SOMEBODY.
00:25:11.33\00:25:12.76
LOTS OF CHURCHES TODAY WATER
DOWN THE MESSAGE BECAUSE THEY'RE
00:25:12.76\00:25:16.26
SCARED OF OFFENDING PEOPLE.
00:25:16.26\00:25:19.76
BUT LOOK AT ROMANS 1:26-27.
00:25:16.26\00:25:19.76
NOW THIS IS WHAT THE BIBLE SAID.
00:25:24.50\00:25:27.20
"BECAUSE OF THIS, GOD GAVE
THEM OVER TO SHAMEFUL LUSTS.
00:25:27.20\00:25:32.56
EVEN THEIR WOMEN
EXCHANGED NATURAL RELATIONS FOR
00:25:32.56\00:25:36.66
UNNATURAL ONES."
00:25:36.66\00:25:38.73
THAT'S WOMEN WITH WOMEN.
00:25:38.73\00:25:41.46
"IN THE SAME WAY THE MEN ALSO
ABANDONED NATURAL RELATIONS WITH
00:25:41.46\00:25:46.20
WOMEN AND WERE INFLAMED
WITH LUST FOR ONE ANOTHER.
00:25:46.20\00:25:52.46
MEN COMMITTED INDECENT ACTS
WITH OTHER MEN, AND RECEIVED IN
00:25:52.46\00:26:00.20
THEMSELVES THE DUE
PENALTY FOR THEIR PERVERSION."
00:26:00.20\00:26:07.66
I DON'T NEED TO SAY ANYMORE,
BUT THE BIBLE TELLS ME THAT GOD
00:26:07.66\00:26:11.00
LOVES YOU, WHOEVER YOU
ARE AND JESUS DIED FOR YOU.
00:26:13.56\00:26:19.13
I THINK I CAN FEEL THERE'S
ANOTHER--JUST GET THIS FEELING
00:26:19.13\00:26:23.43
NOW AND THEN.
00:26:23.43\00:26:25.00
I GOT A FEELING THERE'S
SOMEBODY ELSE ON THE LINE.
00:26:25.00\00:26:29.13
>> HI, PASTOR CARTER.
00:26:29.13\00:26:30.00
MY NAME IS CAROLINE AND I'M
CALLING FROM WEST LOS ANGELES.
00:26:30.00\00:26:31.20
I WOULD LIKE TO THANK YOU
00:26:31.20\00:26:33.26
FOR YOUR PROGRAMMING.
00:26:34.36\00:26:35.80
YOUR PROGRAMS HAVE BEEN SUCH
A HUGE BLESSING, NOT ONLY TO ME
00:26:35.80\00:26:38.60
BUT TO MY FAMILY
AND FRIENDS AS WELL.
00:26:38.60\00:26:41.33
I WOULD LIKE TO ASK YOU A
QUESTION, IS IT OKAY TO DRINK
00:26:41.33\00:26:44.73
ALCOHOL?
00:26:44.73\00:26:48.26
>> CAROLINE, THANK YOU.
00:26:48.26\00:26:50.46
DID YOU KNOW THE AUSTRALIAN
CANCER COUNCIL, WHICH IS ABOUT
00:26:50.46\00:26:55.20
AS SECULAR AS YOU CAN IMAGINE.
00:26:55.20\00:26:59.66
AUSTRALIA IS A SECULAR
COUNTRY, AND NOBODY DRINKS MORE
00:27:02.96\00:27:08.83
THAN THE AUSSIES.
00:27:08.83\00:27:11.63
I REMEMBER MANY, MANY YEARS AGO
I WAS DOWN IN BASRA IN THE SOUTH
00:27:11.63\00:27:15.83
OF IRAQ, I HADN'T
DRUNK ANYTHING FOR 2 DAYS.
00:27:15.83\00:27:20.96
AND FINALLY WE GOT TO A HOTEL
AND I STAGGERED IN AND I SAID,
00:27:20.96\00:27:29.70
GIVE ME A SARSAPARILLA.
00:27:29.70\00:27:33.13
AND THE MAN SAID,
"WHERE DO YOU COME FROM?"
00:27:33.13\00:27:36.66
I SAID, I'M AN AUSTRALIAN.
00:27:36.66\00:27:38.06
AND HE SAID, "YOU
DON'T WANT A BEER?"
00:27:38.06\00:27:40.13
I SAID NO.
00:27:40.13\00:27:41.43
HE SAID, "YOU'RE THE
FIRST X-Y-Z AUSTRALIAN I'VE MET
00:27:41.43\00:27:46.93
WHO DOESN'T DRINK BEER."
00:27:46.93\00:27:49.90
SO AUSTRALIANS LIKE THEIR
BEER, BUT THE AUSTRALIAN CANCER
00:27:49.90\00:27:55.93
COUNCIL HAS NOW PUT ALCOHOL,
BEER AND WINE IN THE SAME
00:27:55.93\00:28:03.16
CATEGORY AS TOBACCO,
AND WAIT FOR IT, ASBESTOS.
00:28:03.16\00:28:11.50
THEY'RE AHEAD OF
AMERICA IN THEIR RESEARCH.
00:28:11.50\00:28:15.23
AND THE AUSTRALIAN GOVERNMENT
HAS COME OUT AND THEY'VE SAID,
00:28:15.23\00:28:19.20
"WE DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE GONNA
DO BECAUSE YOU PROBABLY DON'T
00:28:19.20\00:28:23.40
WANT TO TAKE ANY ADVICE.
00:28:23.40\00:28:24.90
BUT IF YOU DRINK ALCOHOL, YOU'RE
UPPING YOUR CHANCE OF CANCER.
00:28:24.90\00:28:31.23
YOU MAY AS WELL
BREATHE IN ASBESTOS."
00:28:31.23\00:28:36.76
WELL, COME OVER
HERE TO PROVERBS 20:1.
00:28:36.76\00:28:41.46
BUT REMEMBER A MAN CONVINCED
AGAINST HIS WILL IS OF THE SAME
00:28:41.46\00:28:47.10
OPINION STILL.
00:28:47.10\00:28:49.93
BUT I WANT YOU TO BE
CONVINCED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT.
00:28:49.93\00:28:53.93
PROVERBS 20:1.
00:28:53.93\00:28:58.10
PROVERBS 20:1.
00:28:58.10\00:29:01.13
WHAT A GREAT
AUDIENCE WE'VE GOT HERE TODAY.
00:29:01.13\00:29:03.66
WHAT A DISTINGUISHED-LOOKING
GROUP OF PEOPLE WE'VE GOT HERE.
00:29:03.66\00:29:09.20
WE'VE GOT THE BEST CONGREGATION
IN ALL OF CALIFORNIA, EASILY.
00:29:09.20\00:29:11.06
AND THE MOST INTELLIGENT.
00:29:11.06\00:29:15.16
THAT'S WHY YOU COME TO HEAR ME.
00:29:16.60\00:29:18.23
PROVERBS 20:1.
00:29:18.23\00:29:19.86
JUST KIDDING, FOLKS.
00:29:19.86\00:29:20.63
YOU'RE SUCH A SERIOUS GROUP.
00:29:20.63\00:29:22.76
PROVERBS 20:1,
"WINE IS A MOCKER,"
00:29:22.76\00:29:27.40
IT SURE IS, "AND BEER A
BRAWLER; WHOEVER IS LED ASTRAY
00:29:27.40\00:29:33.63
BY THEM IS NOT WISE."
00:29:33.63\00:29:34.83
SOMEBODY WILL SAY TO ME, "HEY,
BUT THEY DRINK BEER AND WINE
00:29:34.83\00:29:38.53
IN THE BIBLE."
00:29:38.53\00:29:40.06
YEAH, THEY HAD
POLYGAMY TOO, ALSO HAD SLAVERY.
00:29:40.06\00:29:42.63
THEY ALSO HAD POLYTHEISM.
00:29:45.10\00:29:47.66
YEAH, EVEN SOME
OF THE PEOPLE OF GOD.
00:29:47.66\00:29:50.60
THAT'S WHY THE TEN COMMANDMENTS
START, "YOU SHALL HAVE NO OTHER
00:29:50.60\00:29:53.50
GODS BEFORE ME," BECAUSE
SOME OF THEM HAD OTHER GODS.
00:29:53.50\00:29:57.20
CAN YOU BELIEVE IT?
00:29:57.20\00:29:58.10
THEY WERE SO FAR FROM GOD.
00:29:58.10\00:29:59.83
LET ME SAY THIS TO YOU.
00:29:59.83\00:30:02.20
I CAN GIVE YOU PLENTY OF TEXT IN
THE BIBLE, BUT LISTEN TO THIS.
00:30:02.20\00:30:07.03
IF YOU'VE GOT EARS TO HEAR
IT, THERE IS NO GREATER CURSE TO
00:30:07.03\00:30:12.06
THE HUMAN RACE THAN ALCOHOL.
00:30:12.06\00:30:15.06
I'VE BEEN TO RUSSIA 40 TIMES.
00:30:15.06\00:30:18.16
I'VE SEEN THERE A NATION
VIRTUALLY DESTROYED BY ALCOHOL,
00:30:18.16\00:30:23.30
BY VODKA.
00:30:23.30\00:30:25.63
WE WERE GETTING BEVERLY'S CAR
FIXED YESTERDAY AND THE MAN WHO
00:30:25.63\00:30:29.06
DELIVERED THE CAR TO BEVERLY AND
ME, HIS NAME WAS, IS DEMETRI.
00:30:29.06\00:30:30.53
AH, DEMETRI, ARE YOU A RUSSIAN?
00:30:30.53\00:30:33.30
"YEAH," HE SAID, "I'M A RUSSIAN
JEW WORKING NOW IN AMERICA."
00:30:35.43\00:30:39.90
I SAID, I'VE
BEEN THERE 40 TIMES.
00:30:39.90\00:30:42.73
HE SAID, "WHAT IS YOUR
FAVORITE RUSSIAN DRINK?"
00:30:42.73\00:30:46.63
AND HE WASN'T
TALKING ABOUT MILK.
00:30:46.63\00:30:50.53
BUT RUSSIA IS A GREAT POWER
THAT IS GOING DOWN, DOWN, DOWN
00:30:50.53\00:30:53.86
IN POPULATION
BECAUSE OF ALCOHOL.
00:30:53.86\00:30:57.36
DON'T DEFEND IT TO ME.
00:30:57.36\00:30:59.23
MR. PUTIN IS SMARTER THAT MOST
OF OUR POLITICIANS BECAUSE FOR
00:30:59.23\00:31:01.90
ONE THING HE SAYS, "I WILL
NEVER, EVER TOUCH ALCOHOL."
00:31:04.06\00:31:09.73
I'M GONNA SAY SOMETHING, NOW
THIS IS A HOT POTATO, BUT MAYBE
00:31:09.73\00:31:13.90
WE WOULD HAVE
BETTER LEGISLATION.
00:31:13.90\00:31:19.80
MMM-HMM.
00:31:19.80\00:31:21.43
MAYBE WE COULD GET THINGS DONE
IF SOME OF THE PEOPLE UP THERE
00:31:21.43\00:31:28.30
WERE NOT SUCH BIG DRINKERS.
00:31:28.30\00:31:32.33
DID YOU KNOW IN THE
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
00:31:32.33\00:31:35.00
THERE ARE NOT
HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS, BUT
00:31:35.00\00:31:37.56
MILLIONS, TENS OF MILLIONS OF
ALCOHOLICS OR PROBLEM DRINKERS?
00:31:37.56\00:31:44.46
SO I DON'T TOUCH IT.
00:31:44.46\00:31:46.03
SO CAROLINE, WINE IS A
MOCKER, STRONG DRINK IS RANGING.
00:31:46.03\00:31:50.50
DON'T BE TAKEN IN BY THE SMART
PEOPLE WHO TRY TO TAKE A TEXT
00:31:50.50\00:31:55.03
OUT OF CONTEXT AND
ENCOURAGE YOU TO DRINK.
00:31:55.03\00:31:58.36
IT'S A CURSE.
00:31:58.36\00:32:00.13
I THINK IT'S THE WORST DRUG THAT
IS USED, AS FAR AS THE RESULTS
00:32:00.13\00:32:06.86
ARE CONCERNED, UPON THE
GREATEST NUMBER OF PEOPLE AROUND
00:32:06.86\00:32:10.43
THE WORLD AND IN NORTH AMERICA.
00:32:10.43\00:32:14.33
OKAY, I GOT A FEELING
SOMEBODY ELSE IS CALLING.
00:32:14.33\00:32:16.30
>> HI, MY NAME IS JEREMY FROM
00:32:16.30\00:32:19.53
CALIFORNIA AND
I HAVE A QUESTION.
00:32:20.53\00:32:22.40
WHY USE THE N.I.V. BIBLE INSTEAD
OF THE KING JAMES VERSION.
00:32:22.40\00:32:25.80
WHY ARE SOME TEXTS MISSING?
00:32:25.80\00:32:29.56
>> MMM, JEREMY.
00:32:29.56\00:32:32.13
I GET THIS QUESTION MANY TIMES.
00:32:32.13\00:32:34.76
I USE THE KING JAMES VERSION.
00:32:34.76\00:32:36.83
IT'S NOT THE ST. JAMES VERSION,
00:32:34.76\00:32:36.83
YOU KNOW?
00:32:38.40\00:32:39.13
PEOPLE SAY, "WE GOT
THE ST. JAMES VERSION."
00:32:39.13\00:32:42.03
THAT'S THE VERSION THAT JAMES
USED BACK IN THE DAYS OF JESUS.
00:32:42.03\00:32:45.70
THE KING JAMES VERSION IS
THE MOST BEAUTIFUL BIBLE EVER
00:32:45.70\00:32:51.66
WRITTEN.
00:32:51.66\00:32:53.03
WRITTEN DURING THE
TIME OF KING JAMES.
00:32:53.03\00:32:56.83
IT IS THE BIBLE, NOT OF NORTH
AMERICA, BUT THE BIBLE OF MY
00:32:56.83\00:33:01.63
MOTHER CHURCH,
THE CHURCH OF ENGLAND.
00:33:01.63\00:33:04.50
SO WHEN PEOPLE COME TO ME
AND THEY SAY, "WE JUST THINK YOU
00:33:04.50\00:33:07.76
OUGHT TO BE USING
THE KING JAMES VERSION."
00:33:07.76\00:33:10.03
I SAY I DO USE IT.
00:33:10.03\00:33:11.46
I'VE GOT COPIES OF IT AND I'M SO
GLAD THAT YOU ARE SO FOND OF MY
00:33:11.46\00:33:18.36
OLD MOTHER CHURCH,
THE CHURCH OF ENGLAND.
00:33:18.36\00:33:22.63
AS THEY CALL IT
HERE, THE EPISCOPAL CHURCH.
00:33:22.63\00:33:26.86
I'LL TELL YOU WHY.
00:33:26.86\00:33:29.66
THE KING JAMES VERSION,
PUBLISHED IN 1611, WAS BASED
00:33:29.66\00:33:36.46
UPON THE BEST KNOWLEDGE OF THE
TIMES AND THE GREATEST NUMBER
00:33:36.46\00:33:42.43
OF MANUSCRIPTS.
00:33:42.43\00:33:43.63
PEOPLE SAY,
"WELL, WHY DIDN'T YOU GO?
00:33:43.63\00:33:45.46
WHY DIDN'T WE JUST GO BACK
TO THE ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPTS?"
00:33:45.46\00:33:51.26
BECAUSE THERE ARE
NONE IN EXISTENCE.
00:33:51.26\00:33:52.86
WHAT?
00:33:52.86\00:33:53.73
NO.
00:33:53.73\00:33:54.46
NO, OF COURSE NOT.
00:33:54.46\00:33:55.86
WHEN THEY FOUND THE DEAD SEA
SCROLLS, RELATIVELY RECENTLY,
00:33:55.86\00:33:59.90
ONLY 50 YEARS AGO OR SOMETHING,
THAT TOOK US BACK A THOUSAND
00:33:59.90\00:34:05.20
YEARS BEFORE THE
THEN PRESENT MANUSCRIPTS.
00:34:05.20\00:34:10.13
TOOK BACK A THOUSAND
YEARS TO 200, 150 B.C.
00:34:10.13\00:34:16.00
THERE IS A SCIENCE IN WORKING
OUT WHAT IS THE MOST ACCURATE
00:34:16.00\00:34:23.00
TEXT AND THAT IS BY
GETTING THE OLDEST TEXT.
00:34:23.00\00:34:28.73
THAT IS WHY THE DEAD SEA
SCROLLS ARE WORTH THEIR WAIT,
00:34:28.73\00:34:33.96
NOT IN DIAMONDS BUT
YOU CAN'T VALUE THEM.
00:34:33.96\00:34:37.13
IT'S THE WORD OF GOD.
00:34:37.13\00:34:38.43
IT'S THE BIBLE THAT
JESUS USED, BASICALLY.
00:34:38.43\00:34:42.33
NOW, I WANT TO
SAY SOMETHING TO YOU.
00:34:42.33\00:34:46.70
YOU SAY, "WHY ARE
SOME TEXTS MISSING?"
00:34:46.70\00:34:48.86
WELL, THERE'S NOT TOO
MANY TEXTS MISSING AT ALL.
00:34:48.86\00:34:51.36
IN 1 JOHN IT SAYS IN THE KING
JAMES VERSION, "THERE ARE THREE
00:34:51.36\00:34:54.63
THAT BEAR WITNESS IN
HEAVEN, THE FATHER, THE SON
00:34:54.63\00:34:56.76
AND THE HOLY SPIRIT.
00:34:56.76\00:34:57.93
IN THESE THREE ARE ONE."
00:34:57.93\00:34:59.03
YOU DON'T FIND
THAT IN THE N.I.V.
00:34:59.03\00:35:01.56
BECAUSE WE NOW KNOW THAT WAS
A LATER ADDITION TO THE TEXT.
00:35:01.56\00:35:05.96
BUT LET ME CUT TO THE CHASE.
00:35:05.96\00:35:09.23
LET ME JUST GET TO
THE BOTTOM LINE HERE.
00:35:09.23\00:35:11.83
IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT VERSION
YOU'RE GOING TO USE, IF YOU'VE
00:35:11.83\00:35:15.03
GOT AN OPEN HEART, THIS BIBLE
WILL LEAD YOU TO SALVATION.
00:35:15.03\00:35:19.70
YOU DON'T WANT TO BE HUNG
UP ON THE TRANSLATION AND BE
00:35:19.70\00:35:22.16
CRITICIZING PEOPLE BECAUSE
THEY DON'T USE YOUR TRANSLATION.
00:35:22.16\00:35:26.46
I'VE HAD PEOPLE WRITE TO
ME AND THEY SAY, "DO YOU USE
00:35:26.46\00:35:28.73
THE N.I.V. IN RUSSIA?"
00:35:28.73\00:35:31.60
WELL, I SAY TO THEM, NO, I
USE THE RUSSIAN TRANSLATION.
00:35:31.60\00:35:35.13
"I BEG YOUR PARDON."
00:35:35.13\00:35:36.66
YEAH, THEY DON'T HAVE THE N.I.V.
00:35:36.66\00:35:38.43
"WELL, YOU GOT--WELL,
WHY DON'T YOU USE THE KJV?"
00:35:38.43\00:35:41.86
WELL, IT'S AN
ENGLISH TRANSLATION.
00:35:41.86\00:35:45.66
NOW THE SPANISH PEOPLE USE A
LOT OF THE KJV, WHICH HAS BEEN
00:35:45.66\00:35:48.66
TRANSLATED FROM HEBREW AND GREEK
INTO ENGLISH, THEN INTO SPANISH.
00:35:48.66\00:35:53.90
BUT LET ME TELL YOU, FOLKS,
WE OUGHT TO STOP ARGUING ABOUT
00:35:53.90\00:35:57.70
TRANSLATIONS AND WE OUGHT
TO START READING THE BIBLE
00:35:57.70\00:36:00.70
AND OBEYING IT.
00:36:00.70\00:36:02.16
AS THE MAN SAID, HE SAID, "IT'S
NOT THE THINGS IN THE BIBLE
00:36:02.16\00:36:06.30
THAT I DON'T
UNDERSTAND THAT WORRY ME."
00:36:06.30\00:36:08.90
HE SAID, "IT'S THE THINGS THAT
I DO UNDERSTAND BUT DON'T DO."
00:36:08.90\00:36:12.96
HMM.
00:36:12.96\00:36:14.13
SO WHATEVER BIBLE YOU'VE GOT,
YOU JUST READ THAT BIBLE EVERY
00:36:14.13\00:36:19.50
DAY AND BELIEVE THAT
BIBLE AND PRACTICE THAT BIBLE.
00:36:19.50\00:36:24.93
OKAY?
00:36:24.93\00:36:26.26
NOW, HERE I AM
WAITING FOR THE NEXT QUESTION.
00:36:26.26\00:36:27.70
>> HI PASTOR CARTER.
00:36:27.70\00:36:30.20
MY NAME IS JONI
FROM LOS ANGELES.
00:36:31.43\00:36:33.50
I ENJOY YOUR PREACHING.
00:36:33.50\00:36:35.26
I HAVE A QUESTION
FOR YOU, IS HELL ETERNAL?
00:36:35.26\00:36:39.53
>> JONI, IS HELL ETERNAL?
00:36:39.53\00:36:44.73
FIRSTLY, JONI, THE BIBLE TEACHES
THAT ONE DAY THERE WILL BE HELL.
00:36:44.73\00:36:46.36
PEOPLE SAY, "YOU FOLKS DON'T
00:36:46.36\00:36:49.33
BELIEVE IN HELL."
00:36:50.26\00:36:51.06
I SURE DO BELIEVE IN HELL.
00:36:51.06\00:36:53.56
JESUS SPOKE ABOUT HELL THAT WAS
A FIRE SO HOT THAT NOTHING COULD
00:36:53.56\00:37:00.23
PUT OUT THAT FIRE.
00:37:00.23\00:37:02.46
BUT THE BIBLE TEACHES THAT HELL,
AFTER IT IS CONSUMED ALL THOSE
00:37:02.46\00:37:08.90
OUTSIDE THE GOSPEL,
THE FIRE WILL GO OUT.
00:37:08.90\00:37:13.36
NOW LET ME TELL YOU A WORD.
00:37:13.36\00:37:15.46
IF YOU TURN TO CHRIST AND REPENT
OF YOUR SINS, YOU'RE GOING
00:37:15.46\00:37:19.40
TO BE SAVED.
00:37:19.40\00:37:20.96
BUT THE BIBLE TEACHES IF
PEOPLE TURN AWAY FROM THE GOSPEL
00:37:20.96\00:37:27.50
AND APOSTATIZE FROM CHRIST,
THE BIBLE SAYS THEY WILL BE CAST
00:37:27.50\00:37:31.13
INTO HELL.
00:37:31.13\00:37:33.03
JESUS PREACHED ON HELL
OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN.
00:37:33.03\00:37:38.30
BUT ONCE THE FIRE HAS BURNED UP
THE WICKED, THE FIRE IS GOING TO
00:37:38.30\00:37:42.50
GO OUT.
00:37:42.50\00:37:43.66
COME OVER HERE TO JUDE 7.
00:37:43.66\00:37:46.80
AND HERE IT TALKS ABOUT THE
00:37:43.66\00:37:46.80
CITIES OF SODOM AND GOMORRAH.
00:37:48.00\00:37:51.70
JUDE 7, "IN A SIMILAR WAY, SODOM
AND GOMORRAH AND THE SURROUNDING
00:37:51.70\00:37:59.90
TOWNS GAVE THEMSELVES
UP," WHAT DOES IT SAY?
00:37:59.90\00:38:02.93
"TO SEXUAL
IMMORALITY AND PERVERSION."
00:38:02.93\00:38:06.43
GOD CARES.
00:38:06.43\00:38:08.03
"THEY SERVE, WHAT DOES IT SAY?
00:38:08.03\00:38:10.53
"AS AN EXAMPLE OF THOSE
WHO SUFFER THE PUNISHMENT--"
00:38:10.53\00:38:16.03
WHAT SORT OF FIRE?
00:38:16.03\00:38:17.53
YEAH, OF ETERNAL FIRE.
00:38:17.53\00:38:20.03
THE CITIES OF SODOM AND
GOMORRAH, MY FRIENDS, WERE
00:38:20.03\00:38:23.20
DESTROYED BY ETERNAL FIRE AND
THAT FIRE WAS HOTTER THAN THOSE
00:38:23.20\00:38:30.20
POTATOES THAT JAVIER HAD.
00:38:30.20\00:38:33.33
HAVE YOU EVER SEEN SO MUCH STEAM
00:38:30.20\00:38:33.33
COME OFF POTATOES?
00:38:34.36\00:38:35.96
I'VE NEVER SEEN SO MUCH STEAM.
00:38:35.96\00:38:38.03
HE MUST HAVE AN
AMAZING OVEN AT HIS PLACE.
00:38:38.03\00:38:41.26
THEY MUST HAVE BEEN HOT BEFORE
HE LEFT HOME BECAUSE THEY HAD
00:38:41.26\00:38:44.06
TIME TO COOL OFF
GETTING HERE TO CHURCH.
00:38:44.06\00:38:47.00
BUT THE FIRE IS GONNA BE SO
HOT, THE WORLD IS GOING TO BE
00:38:47.00\00:38:53.13
DISSOLVED BY THAT FIRE.
00:38:53.13\00:38:55.50
AND WHEN THE FIRE HAS DONE
ITS WORK, THE FIRE IS GOING
00:38:55.50\00:38:59.53
TO GO OUT.
00:38:59.53\00:39:02.03
MMM-HMM.
00:39:02.03\00:39:03.63
BECAUSE THAT'S HOW IT HAPPENED
WITH SODOM AND GOMORRAH.
00:39:03.63\00:39:06.36
THOSE CITIES
AREN'T BURNING TODAY.
00:39:06.36\00:39:08.00
LISTEN, I WANT TO DROP THIS
THOUGHT INTO YOUR PURE MINDS.
00:39:08.00\00:39:13.33
I BELIEVE WE HAVE A HEAVEN
TO WIN AND I BELIEVE WE'VE GOT
00:39:13.33\00:39:17.50
A HELL TO SHUN.
00:39:17.50\00:39:19.23
I BELIEVE THIS.
00:39:19.23\00:39:20.53
I BELIEVE THAT IF I TURN AWAY
FROM CHRIST AND THE GOSPEL AND I
00:39:20.53\00:39:24.20
BECOME SLACK AND I WANDER
AWAY FROM GOD AND I GIVE UP,
00:39:24.20\00:39:28.56
I BELIEVE I'M
GONNA BE CAST INTO HELL.
00:39:28.56\00:39:31.10
THAT'S WHAT I BELIEVE.
00:39:31.10\00:39:32.46
I BELIEVE THAT IT'S TRUE WITH
YOU, AND THAT IS WHY I URGE YOU
00:39:32.46\00:39:37.30
TO READ YOUR BIBLES AND TO TRUST
IN CHRIST, AND AS THE BIBLE
00:39:37.30\00:39:41.53
SAYS, TO PERSEVERE.
00:39:41.53\00:39:44.33
I THINK THAT WAS
THE FIRST QUESTION.
00:39:44.33\00:39:45.93
SO YES, JONI, THERE IS HELL
AND THE FIRE'S GOING TO GO OUT.
00:39:45.93\00:39:49.00
OKAY, WE'RE WAITING FOR THE NEXT
PHONE CALL, WHICH I THINK IS
00:39:49.00\00:39:52.46
NUMBER NINE.
00:39:52.46\00:39:55.60
>> HELLO, THIS IS STEVE FROM
00:39:52.46\00:39:55.60
LA CRECENTA.
00:39:56.43\00:39:57.56
I WAS CURIOUS ABOUT SOMETHING,
DO ROMAN CATHOLICS HAVE
00:39:57.56\00:40:01.03
A DIFFERENT GOSPEL?
00:40:01.03\00:40:05.03
>> A VERY PERCEPTIVE QUESTION.
00:40:05.03\00:40:10.43
LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING THAT
NOT ONE CHRISTIAN IN A HUNDRED
00:40:10.43\00:40:16.16
KNOWS OR UNDERSTANDS, AND
MOST ARE NOT INTERESTED IN.
00:40:16.16\00:40:21.66
AND THIS IS WHY THEIR
LIVES LACK THE POWER OF GOD.
00:40:21.66\00:40:27.46
AFTER THE PROTESTANT REFORMATION
THAT WAS HELD AND LED BY
00:40:27.46\00:40:32.00
MARTIN LUTHER, THE
GREAT ROMAN CATHOLIC
00:40:32.00\00:40:35.43
CHURCH--AND WE
LOVE ROMAN CATHOLICS.
00:40:35.43\00:40:37.80
WE WANT TO MAKE THAT VERY PLAIN.
00:40:37.80\00:40:39.56
JESUS LOVES ROMAN CATHOLICS.
00:40:39.56\00:40:41.46
WE LOVE ROMAN CATHOLICS.
00:40:41.46\00:40:43.33
THE COUNCIL OF TRENT
HELD A GREAT COUNCIL.
00:40:43.33\00:40:44.83
WELL, THE CATHOLIC CHURCH HELD
00:40:44.83\00:40:49.06
A GREAT COUNCIL IN TRENT.
00:40:50.03\00:40:53.10
MARTIN LUTHER TAUGHT THIS.
00:40:53.10\00:40:55.83
NOW THIS IS THEOLOGY, BUT IT'S
IMPORTANT THAT YOU UNDERSTAND
00:40:55.83\00:41:00.30
THIS.
00:41:00.30\00:41:01.43
HE TAUGHT SOLA SCRIPTURA.
00:41:01.43\00:41:04.00
ONLY SCRIPTURE.
00:41:04.00\00:41:05.66
IF YOU GO TO A CHURCH WHERE
THE BIBLE IS NOT THE SUPREME
00:41:05.66\00:41:09.16
AUTHORITY, YOU'RE
IN THE WRONG CHURCH.
00:41:09.16\00:41:12.26
SOLA CHRISTUS, ONLY CHRIST.
00:41:12.26\00:41:14.96
ONLY CHRIST CAN SAVE US,
NOT THE CHURCH, NOT THE PRIEST,
00:41:14.96\00:41:18.10
NOT THE MINISTER.
00:41:18.10\00:41:19.40
SOLO CHRISTUS.
00:41:19.40\00:41:21.40
HE TAUGHT SOLA GRATIA.
00:41:21.40\00:41:22.60
ONLY GRACE.
00:41:22.60\00:41:24.13
WE'RE SAVED ONLY
BY THE GRACE OF GOD.
00:41:24.13\00:41:26.23
AND THEN HE TAUGHT SOLA FIDE.
00:41:26.23\00:41:27.80
ONLY FAITH.
00:41:27.80\00:41:30.06
HE TALKED THAT A MAN IS
JUSTIFIED THROUGH THE ATONING
00:41:30.06\00:41:34.26
SACRIFICE OF CHRIST JESUS
OUR LORD, NOT BY VIRTUE OF HIS
00:41:34.26\00:41:40.50
OWN WORKS BUT BY THE SHEER
MERCY OF GOD WHICH HE ACCEPTS
00:41:40.50\00:41:44.86
BY MERE FAITH.
00:41:44.86\00:41:47.36
THAT IS THE RUNNING
CRY OF THE REFORMATION.
00:41:47.36\00:41:52.83
NOW COME OVER
HERE TO ROMANS 4:3-4.
00:41:52.83\00:41:57.96
NOW I WOULD WISH THAT YOU
WOULD MEMORIZE THE FIRST EIGHT
00:41:57.96\00:42:02.83
CHAPTERS OF ROMANS.
00:42:02.83\00:42:07.30
MANY PEOPLE HAVE.
00:42:02.83\00:42:07.30
ROMANS 4:3-4, "WHAT
DOES THE SCRIPTURE SAY?
00:42:08.96\00:42:16.13
'ABRAHAM BELIEVED GOD,
AND IT WAS CREDITED TO HIM
00:42:16.13\00:42:20.20
AS RIGHTEOUSNESS.'" IF
YOU TRULY BELIEVE IN CHRIST
00:42:20.20\00:42:24.20
AND CONFESS YOUR
SINS, GOD CREDITS YOU WITH
00:42:24.20\00:42:28.90
THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF CHRIST.
00:42:28.90\00:42:32.66
THIS IS THE GOSPEL, THAT GOD
LOVES YOU SO MUCH THAT YOU ARE
00:42:32.66\00:42:37.06
SAVED, NOT BY YOUR
WORKS BUT BY CHRIST'S WORKS.
00:42:37.06\00:42:41.93
HE CREDITS RIGHTEOUSNESS SO THAT
YOU STAND IN THE SIGHT OF A HOLY
00:42:41.93\00:42:45.73
GOD AS THOUGH YOU HAD
NEVER, NEVER EVER SINNED.
00:42:45.73\00:42:49.73
HOW AMAZING.
00:42:49.73\00:42:51.10
VERSE 4, "NOW WHEN A MAN WORKS,
HIS WAGES ARE NOT CREDITED
00:42:51.10\00:42:57.40
TO HIM AS A GIFT,
BUT AS AN OBLIGATION.
00:42:57.40\00:43:00.20
HOWEVER, TO THE MAN WHO
DOES NOT WORK," THE SALVATION,
00:43:00.20\00:43:04.00
"BUT TRUSTS GOD WHO JUSTIFIES
THE WICKED, HIS FAITH IS
00:43:04.00\00:43:08.53
CREDITED AS RIGHTEOUSNESS."
00:43:08.53\00:43:11.00
THIS MEANS THAT YOU CAN BE RIGHT
WITH GOD, RIGHT NOW IF YOU HAVE
00:43:11.00\00:43:16.30
TRUE FAITH IN CHRIST.
00:43:16.30\00:43:17.70
SAY, "AMEN."
00:43:17.70\00:43:20.20
IT'S THE GREATEST
DOCTRINE IN THE BIBLE.
00:43:20.20\00:43:22.96
NOW LOOK AT ROMANS 5:1,
"THEREFORE, SINCE WE HAVE BEEN
00:43:22.96\00:43:28.33
JUSTIFIED THROUGH FAITH," NOT BY
VIRTUE OF OUR FAITH, BUT THROUGH
00:43:28.33\00:43:33.30
FAITH, "WE HAVE PEACE WITH GOD
THROUGH OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST."
00:43:33.30\00:43:38.86
NOW LOOK AT ME.
00:43:38.86\00:43:40.60
WHAT I'M TELLING
YOU IS HISTORICAL.
00:43:40.60\00:43:42.60
NOT ONE PERSON IN THE CHURCH
IN A HUNDRED UNDERSTANDS THIS.
00:43:42.60\00:43:44.13
THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH TAUGHT
00:43:44.13\00:43:47.03
THAT JUSTIFICATION WAS
NOT A DECLARATION, AS WE TEACH
00:43:49.70\00:43:53.50
FROM THE BIBLE.
00:43:53.50\00:43:54.90
THEY TAUGHT IT WAS A PROCESS.
00:43:54.90\00:43:57.43
IT WAS A PROCESS THAT WAS
CARRIED OUT BY THE HOLY SPIRIT
00:43:57.43\00:44:00.96
WORKING IN THE HEART.
00:44:00.96\00:44:02.23
I BELIEVE IN THE PROCESS
OF THE HOLY SPIRIT WORKING IN
00:44:02.23\00:44:04.53
THE HEART, BUT NOT IN
ORDER THAT I MIGHT BE SAVED,
00:44:04.53\00:44:07.26
BUT BECAUSE I AM SAVED.
00:44:07.26\00:44:09.10
YOU SEE?
00:44:09.10\00:44:10.26
AND SO THEY TURNED JUSTIFICATION
INTO SANCTIFICATION.
00:44:10.26\00:44:13.63
AND AFTER A PERSON HAS HAD
ENOUGH WORK OF THE HOLY SPIRIT
00:44:13.63\00:44:17.30
IN HIS HEART, HE IS
FINALLY COMPLETELY RIGHTEOUS
00:44:17.30\00:44:21.80
AND HE CAN GO TO HEAVEN.
00:44:21.80\00:44:23.36
BUT IF HE'S NOT READY, HE GOES
TO PURGATORY AND PURGATORY IS
00:44:23.36\00:44:27.30
THE GRACE OF GOD WHEREBY THE
WORK CAN CONTINUE IN HIS HEART.
00:44:27.30\00:44:30.96
THAT IS ROMAN CATHOLIC THEOLOGY.
00:44:30.96\00:44:33.00
THIS IS THE
THEOLOGY OF MOTHER TERESA.
00:44:33.00\00:44:36.46
MOTHER TERESA CONFESSED BEFORE
SHE DIED AND SHE WROTE IT DOWN
00:44:36.46\00:44:40.36
IN A GREAT CORRESPONDENCE THAT
THERE NEVER A DAY WHEN SHE HAD
00:44:40.36\00:44:45.00
JOY AND HAPPINESS
AND FELT THE LOVE OF GOD.
00:44:45.00\00:44:48.80
YOU CAN READ THIS.
00:44:48.80\00:44:50.26
SHE FELT, "I WAS DAMNED."
00:44:50.26\00:44:51.60
SHE SAID, "I FELT I SHOULD GIVE
IT ALL UP AND BECOME AN ATHEIST
00:44:51.60\00:44:55.43
BECAUSE THAT WOULD BE BETTER."
00:44:55.43\00:44:57.36
BECAUSE SHE WAS TRYING AND
TRYING AND TRYING, BUT SHE KNEW
00:44:57.36\00:45:01.83
THAT AFTER ALL HER TRYING,
EVEN BY THE GRACE OF GOD,
00:45:01.83\00:45:05.26
SHE WAS NOT GOOD ENOUGH.
00:45:05.26\00:45:08.06
NOW MILLIONS OF
PEOPLE ARE LIKE THAT.
00:45:08.06\00:45:11.43
BUT YOU WILL NEVER KNOW THE
GOSPEL UNLESS YOU'RE PREPARED TO
00:45:11.43\00:45:15.06
STUDY AND OPEN UP YOUR
HEARTS AND CONFESS YOUR SINS.
00:45:15.06\00:45:19.13
MOST OF US DO NOT TAKE
OUR RELIGION SERIOUSLY.
00:45:19.13\00:45:22.23
IT'S JUST LIKE GOING TO LAS
VEGAS FOR US, AND WE NEED TO
00:45:22.23\00:45:26.03
REALIZE WE HAVE A HEAVEN TO WIN
AND A HELL TO SHUN AND THAT WE
00:45:26.03\00:45:32.60
CAN ONLY BE SAVED BY COMING
AS PENITENT SINNERS TO CHRIST.
00:45:32.60\00:45:37.46
AND WHEN WE COME IN THAT WAY,
WE ARE DECLARED RIGHTEOUS AND WE
00:45:37.46\00:45:40.83
HAVE PEACE WITH GOD AND WE DON'T
GO TO HEAVEN WITH THE BAGGAGE.
00:45:40.83\00:45:45.40
WE GO TO HEAVEN FIRST CLASS.
00:45:45.40\00:45:47.56
NOW, LET'S TAKE--LET'S
KEEP THE QUESTIONS COMING.
00:45:47.56\00:45:50.26
>> HI, MY NAME IS SUSAN AND I
00:45:50.26\00:45:52.33
LOVE WATCHING YOUR PROGRAM
ON TELEVISION, PASTOR CARTER,
00:45:53.33\00:45:56.53
AND I HAVE A QUESTION FOR YOU.
00:45:56.53\00:45:57.96
I'M 60 POUNDS
OVERWEIGHT AND I LOVE CHOCOLATE.
00:45:57.96\00:46:01.20
I KNOW THAT
CHOCOLATE IS GOOD FOR YOU.
00:46:01.20\00:46:03.36
CAN I KEEP EATING IT?
00:46:03.36\00:46:05.93
>> WELL, SUSAN, I CERTAINLY PLAN
TO KEEP EATING IT, BUT I WOULD
00:46:05.93\00:46:11.00
THINK PERHAPS YOU
OUGHT TO CUT BACK.
00:46:11.00\00:46:13.73
I WANT YOU TO COME
OVER HERE TO JOHN 10.
00:46:13.73\00:46:17.96
BUT YOUR PROBLEM IS NOT THE
CHOCOLATE UNLESS YOU'RE EATING,
00:46:17.96\00:46:21.16
YOU KNOW, 2 OR 3 POUNDS A DAY.
00:46:21.16\00:46:24.36
JOHN 10 AND WHEN IT SAYS
CHOCOLATE IS GOOD FOR YOU,
00:46:24.36\00:46:26.86
A TINY AMOUNT OF DARK CHOCOLATE,
DOCTORS SAY, IS GOOD FOR YOU.
00:46:26.86\00:46:32.06
THEY'RE PROBABLY PAID
BY THE CHOCOLATE COMPANIES,
00:46:32.06\00:46:34.33
I DON'T KNOW.
00:46:34.33\00:46:35.36
JOHN 10:10, "THE THIEF
COMES ONLY TO STEAL AND KILL AND
00:46:35.36\00:46:39.23
DESTROY; I HAVE COME THAT THEY
MAY HAVE LIFE, AND HAVE IT TO
00:46:39.23\00:46:42.66
THE FULL."
00:46:42.66\00:46:43.76
GOD WANT YOU TO BE HEALTHY.
00:46:43.76\00:46:45.43
HE WANTS YOU TO BE HAPPY.
00:46:45.43\00:46:46.83
HE WANTS YOU TO BE PEACEFUL, AND
I WOULD SAY TO SUSAN WHO CALLED
00:46:46.83\00:46:49.00
IN, THAT GOD CAN HELP YOU.
00:46:51.90\00:46:55.33
YOU NEED TO KNOW
THAT HE LOVES YOU.
00:46:55.33\00:46:58.13
YOU NEED TO TRY, BY THE GRACE
OF GOD, AND WHAT WE ALL LACK
00:46:58.13\00:47:02.16
IS SELF.
00:47:02.16\00:47:03.50
WE NEED WILLPOWER.
00:47:03.50\00:47:05.03
BUT WE DON'T--NO, WE
DON'T NEED WILLPOWER.
00:47:05.03\00:47:07.73
WE NEED GOD POWER IN
OUR LIVES, GOD POWER.
00:47:07.73\00:47:10.80
AND WE NEED TO GET BACK
TO THE DIET OF GENESIS 1,
00:47:10.80\00:47:15.00
WHICH WAS A VEGETARIAN DIET.
00:47:15.00\00:47:18.33
YEAH, AND NO ALCOHOL, AND
WE OUGHT TO TURN AWAY FROM
00:47:18.33\00:47:23.43
REFINED FOODS.
00:47:23.43\00:47:26.23
ALL OF THAT STUFF, AND WE
NEED TO HAVE AN EXERCISE PROGRAM
00:47:26.23\00:47:31.40
BECAUSE GOD WANTS
THE BEST FOR YOU, SUSAN.
00:47:31.40\00:47:35.66
BUT HE LOVES YOU
AND THE EXTRA 60 POUNDS.
00:47:35.66\00:47:39.63
HE LOVES YOU.
00:47:39.63\00:47:41.20
HE DIED FOR YOU.
00:47:41.20\00:47:42.33
HE CARES FOR YOU, BUT
HE WANTS THE BEST FOR YOU.
00:47:42.33\00:47:47.70
OKAY, ANOTHER QUESTION.
00:47:47.70\00:47:49.83
>> HI.
00:47:47.70\00:47:49.83
I HAVE A QUESTION.
00:47:50.43\00:47:51.63
THIS IS MICHELLE.
00:47:51.63\00:47:52.50
I'M FROM ARIZONA AND I'D LIKE
TO KNOW IF I DON'T GO TO CHURCH
00:47:52.50\00:47:56.13
AND I'M NOT OF ANY RELIGION,
DOES GOD STILL LOVE ME?
00:47:56.13\00:48:03.73
>> WE QUOTED A
TEXT BEFORE, JOHN 3:16.
00:48:03.73\00:48:05.03
I CAN OFFER YOU A BETTER TEXT.
00:48:05.03\00:48:10.00
"FOR GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD."
00:48:12.43\00:48:16.36
WHEN THE WICKED ARE FINALLY
CONSUMED IN THE FLAMES OF FIRE,
00:48:16.36\00:48:21.90
HE'S GOING TO
LOVE THEM TO THE END.
00:48:21.90\00:48:25.46
"NO, NO, NO GOD
DOESN'T LOVE SINNERS."
00:48:25.46\00:48:27.33
YES, HE DOES BECAUSE THEY'RE
STILL HIS CHILDREN AND THEY HAVE
00:48:27.33\00:48:31.56
PULLED THE FIRE
DOWN ON THEIR OWN HEADS.
00:48:31.56\00:48:34.06
YOU SEE ON THE WHOLE, GOD
DOESN'T NEED TO DESTROY US.
00:48:34.06\00:48:37.06
WE DO A PRETTY GOOD
JOB OURSELVES, DON'T WE?
00:48:37.06\00:48:39.70
WITH THE TERRIBLE JUNK
WE EAT AND ALL OF THIS STUFF
00:48:39.70\00:48:42.83
AND OUR LIFESTYLES.
00:48:42.83\00:48:46.76
I WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT GOD
LOVES YOU AND HE CARES FOR YOU
00:48:46.76\00:48:49.63
AND HE LONGS TO HAVE
A RELATIONSHIP WITH YOU.
00:48:49.63\00:48:53.90
AND THEREFORE YOU MAY HAVE
BEEN TURNED OFF, THE CHURCH,
00:48:53.90\00:48:57.80
YOU KNOW, THAT MAY BE SO.
00:48:57.80\00:49:01.16
BUT YOU DON'T GO TO
CHURCH BECAUSE OF THE PEOPLE.
00:49:01.16\00:49:05.20
YOU GO TO CHURCH BECAUSE OF GOD.
00:49:05.20\00:49:07.53
AND I WOULD LIKE TO SAY,
MICHELLE, START TO READ YOUR
00:49:07.53\00:49:11.10
BIBLE.
00:49:11.10\00:49:11.83
START WITH THE GOSPELS,
MATTHEW, MARK, LUKE AND JOHN
00:49:11.83\00:49:15.60
AND KNOW THAT HE LOVES YOU.
00:49:15.60\00:49:18.60
WHATEVER YOU DO,
HE'LL ALWAYS LOVE YOU.
00:49:18.60\00:49:21.53
BUT BECAUSE HE LOVES YOU, HE
WANTS YOU TO BE IN HIS KINGDOM.
00:49:21.53\00:49:26.83
OKAY, ONE OTHER QUESTION.
00:49:26.83\00:49:30.53
>> HELLO, PASTOR CARTER.
00:49:26.83\00:49:30.53
MY NAME IS BOBBY AND I'M
FROM SAN FERNANDO, CALIFORNIA.
00:49:31.76\00:49:34.90
I HAVE A CONCERN.
00:49:34.90\00:49:36.26
MY FAMILY
SUFFERED A TERRIBLE LOSS.
00:49:36.26\00:49:38.86
MY SISTER JUST PASSED AWAY.
00:49:38.86\00:49:40.93
WILL I EVER SEE HER AGAIN?
00:49:40.93\00:49:43.43
>> BOBBY, FIRSTLY I'M SORRY.
00:49:43.43\00:49:48.96
BUT, OF COURSE, ONE
DAY WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIE.
00:49:48.96\00:49:50.70
BUT THE GOOD NEWS OF THE GOSPEL
00:49:50.70\00:49:53.30
IS THAT AFTER DEATH,
THERE'S A RESURRECTION.
00:49:54.53\00:50:01.13
WOULD YOU COME WITH
ME OVER HERE TO JOHN 11?
00:50:01.13\00:50:05.86
AND WE'RE GONNA PICK A TEXT OR
TWO OUT OF HERE, OF COURSE, YOU
00:50:05.86\00:50:10.10
CAN READ THIS YOURSELF,
BOBBY, BUT GET YOUR BIBLE
00:50:10.10\00:50:12.50
AND READ JOHN 11.
00:50:12.50\00:50:16.53
JOHN 11, IT TALKS
ABOUT A MAN WHO IS SICK.
00:50:16.53\00:50:18.40
VERSE 1 IT TALKS ABOUT THIS MAN,
00:50:18.40\00:50:21.13
HIS NAME WAS LAZARUS.
00:50:23.10\00:50:25.33
VERSE 6, "YET, WHEN HE HEARD
THAT LAZARUS WAS SICK, HE STAYED
00:50:25.33\00:50:29.63
WHERE HE WAS TWO MORE
DAYS," AND LAZARUS DIES.
00:50:29.63\00:50:33.00
VERSE 11, "AFTER HE SAID THIS,
HE WENT ON TO TELL THEM, 'OUR
00:50:33.00\00:50:37.70
FRIEND LAZARUS HAS FALLEN
ASLEEP; BUT I'M GOING THERE TO
00:50:37.70\00:50:41.06
WAKE HIM UP.'"
JESUS, NOT MY CHURCH.
00:50:41.06\00:50:45.06
JESUS SAID THAT WHEN A
PERSON DIES, HE FALLS ASLEEP.
00:50:45.06\00:50:49.36
THERE'S NO PAIN.
00:50:49.36\00:50:50.70
THERE'S NO SORROW.
00:50:50.70\00:50:51.90
NO ANGUISH.
00:50:51.90\00:50:53.73
NO SUFFERING.
00:50:53.73\00:50:54.83
THERE ARE NO PEOPLE IN HELL
TODAY, NO PEOPLE IN PURGATORY.
00:50:54.83\00:51:00.10
AND THEN IF YOU COME DOWN HERE
TO VERSE--LET ME SEE, VERSE 25,
00:51:00.10\00:51:05.30
"JESUS SAID TO HER," TALKING
TO MARTHA THE DEAD MAN'S SISTER,
00:51:05.30\00:51:10.23
"I'M THE
RESURRECTION AND THE LIFE.
00:51:10.23\00:51:12.33
HE WHO BELIEVES IN ME WILL LIVE
EVEN THOUGH HE DIES; AND WHOEVER
00:51:12.33\00:51:16.70
LIVES AND BELIEVES
IN ME WILL NEVER DIE.
00:51:16.70\00:51:20.76
DO YOU BELIEVE THIS?"
00:51:20.76\00:51:22.40
NOW, THEN IF YOU LIKE TO DO
THIS, BOBBY, YOU READ THAT WHOLE
00:51:22.40\00:51:25.73
CHAPTER AND IT DESCRIBES HOW
00:51:25.73\00:51:29.10
JESUS WENT TO THE TOMB.
00:51:31.76\00:51:34.73
AND THEY TAKE AWAY THE STONE.
00:51:34.73\00:51:38.23
THIS MAN'S BEEN DEAD FOR 4 DAYS.
00:51:38.23\00:51:40.90
THE BIBLE SAYS THERE WAS
AN ODOR, THE SMELL OF DEATH.
00:51:40.90\00:51:44.80
AND THEN JESUS STOOD AT
THE MOUTH OF THE TOMB AND JESUS
00:51:44.80\00:51:48.23
SAID, "LAZARUS, COME FORTH."
00:51:48.23\00:51:52.63
AND THE DEAD MAN HEARD THE VOICE
OF CHRIST AND HE WALKED OUT OF
00:51:52.63\00:51:58.50
THE TOMB.
00:51:58.50\00:52:00.23
AND JESUS SAID, "TAKE
OFF THE GRAVE CLOTHES.
00:52:00.23\00:52:03.60
LOOSE HIM AND LET HIM GO."
00:52:03.60\00:52:07.10
NOW THE GOOD NEWS IS THIS, NOW
MOST PEOPLE THINK THEY'RE GOING
00:52:07.10\00:52:10.50
TO GO TO HEAVEN.
00:52:10.50\00:52:12.00
THE BIBLE TEACHES
THE VERY OPPOSITE.
00:52:12.00\00:52:14.53
THE BIBLE TEACHES THE
MAJORITY DON'T GO TO HEAVEN.
00:52:14.53\00:52:18.26
YOU SAY, "WHERE DO
YOU GET THAT FROM?"
00:52:18.26\00:52:19.66
I GET IT FROM THE BIBLE.
00:52:19.66\00:52:21.23
TRY READING IT.
00:52:21.23\00:52:23.10
BUT THE BIBLE SAYS THIS, IF I
TRULY BELIEVE IN CHRIST, ONE DAY
00:52:23.10\00:52:31.66
WHEN JESUS COMES, HE'S GOING TO
GO TO MY TOMB AND HE'S GOING TO
00:52:31.66\00:52:38.23
CALL ME BY NAME.
00:52:38.23\00:52:40.76
AND I'M GOING TO WALK
STRAIGHT ON OUT OF THE TOMB.
00:52:40.76\00:52:42.76
PEOPLE WHO'VE BEEN LOST AT SEA,
00:52:42.76\00:52:45.70
THE SEA'S GOING
TO GIVE UP THE DEAD.
00:52:49.06\00:52:51.00
PEOPLE WHO'VE DIED
BECAUSE THEY'VE BURNED TO DEATH,
00:52:51.00\00:52:54.16
THEY'RE GONNA COME FORTH.
00:52:54.16\00:52:56.96
AND IF YOU AND I BELIEVE IN
JESUS AND FOLLOW HIS WORD AND
00:52:56.96\00:53:05.16
DON'T CONFORM TO THE MAJORITY,
BUT YOU STAND FOR JESUS,
00:53:05.16\00:53:11.16
SOMETIMES IT WILL BE ALONE.
00:53:13.90\00:53:18.53
ONE DAY AFTER YOU'RE A MILLION
YEARS OLD, YOU'LL JUST BE
00:53:18.53\00:53:21.63
A BABE.
00:53:21.63\00:53:23.63
UH-HUH.
00:53:23.63\00:53:24.73
THEN AFTER A BILLION YEARS HAVE
GONE BY, YOU'LL KNOW IT'S JUST
00:53:24.73\00:53:29.86
THE BEGINNING.
00:53:29.86\00:53:32.00
YOU'LL NEVER GET SICK.
00:53:32.00\00:53:33.90
YOU'LL NEVER GET TIRED.
00:53:33.90\00:53:36.73
YOU'LL NEVER GET A SLIGHT CHANGE
IN THE COLOR OF YOUR HAIR.
00:53:36.73\00:53:44.23
YOU'LL NEVER HAVE ANY WRINKLES,
AND YOU WON'T NEED A FACELIFT OR
00:53:44.23\00:53:49.30
ANY OF THOSE THINGS THAT PEOPLE
ARE DOING TODAY BECAUSE YOU'LL
00:53:49.30\00:53:53.63
HAVE A PERFECT BODY.
00:53:53.63\00:53:56.83
AND YOU'LL LIVE
IN A BEAUTIFUL HOME.
00:53:56.83\00:54:01.83
THE BIBLE SAYS, A NEW
HEAVEN AND A NEW EARTH.
00:54:01.83\00:54:06.26
JESUS SAID, "LET NOT
YOUR HEARTS BE TROUBLED.
00:54:06.26\00:54:09.13
YOU BELIEVE IN
GOD, BELIEVE ALSO IN ME.
00:54:09.13\00:54:13.83
IN MY FATHER'S
HOUSE ARE MANY MANSIONS.
00:54:13.83\00:54:16.56
IF IT WERE NOT SO,
I WOULD HAVE TOLD YOU.
00:54:16.56\00:54:19.23
I GO TO PREPARE A PLACE FOR YOU.
00:54:19.23\00:54:24.06
AND IF I GO AND PREPARE A
PLACE FOR YOU, I WILL COME AGAIN
00:54:24.06\00:54:28.90
AND RECEIVE YOU TO MYSELF."
00:54:28.90\00:54:32.03

WOULDN'T YOU, MY TELEVISION
00:54:32.03\00:54:38.20
