Science teaches
00:00:03.30\00:00:04.63
that facts are
superior to superstition.
00:00:04.67\00:00:07.77
John Carter agrees.
00:00:07.80\00:00:09.67
In the following program,
00:00:09.70\00:00:11.11
he presents 10 top
reasons why God exists.
00:00:11.14\00:00:14.54
No superstition, just facts.
00:00:14.58\00:00:17.15
Welcome back, my friends.
00:00:20.98\00:00:22.75
Today, we're talking
about the top 10 reasons
00:00:22.78\00:00:25.72
why you can believe in God.
00:00:25.75\00:00:28.42
Why we believe not just in faith
00:00:28.46\00:00:31.29
but why we believe in facts.
00:00:31.33\00:00:34.56
Jesus said, "You know the truth,
00:00:34.60\00:00:36.53
the truth will make you free."
00:00:36.56\00:00:38.00
So here we come to
top 10, reason number 5,
00:00:38.03\00:00:43.27
the human condition.
00:00:43.30\00:00:47.11
What am I telling
about, the human condition.
00:00:47.14\00:00:49.44
Text in the Bible,
00:00:49.48\00:00:50.81
Psalms 51 I
think it is, verse 5.
00:00:50.85\00:00:53.95
And it says these
words, Psalm 51:5.
00:00:53.98\00:00:58.35
I'll read it to you.
00:00:58.39\00:00:59.72
"Behold, I was
brought forth in iniquity,
00:00:59.75\00:01:03.39
and in sin my
mother conceived me."
00:01:03.43\00:01:07.76
There's only one
book in the world
00:01:07.80\00:01:11.67
that perfectly
describes the human condition.
00:01:11.70\00:01:16.34
There's only one book
00:01:16.37\00:01:17.74
that perfectly describes me
00:01:17.77\00:01:22.08
and you,
00:01:22.11\00:01:24.05
whoever you are.
00:01:24.08\00:01:26.65
I was watching TV
00:01:26.68\00:01:28.02
last Sunday
morning, my goodness,
00:01:28.05\00:01:30.92
it was a story
of violence, crime,
00:01:30.95\00:01:33.82
depravity, immorality,
00:01:33.86\00:01:38.96
and we are standing on
the brink of nuclear war.
00:01:38.99\00:01:43.00
There are symptoms of this thing
00:01:43.03\00:01:46.23
that's wrong inside us.
00:01:46.27\00:01:47.67
And those of you
who are watching,
00:01:47.70\00:01:49.44
I think you know
what I'm talking about.
00:01:49.47\00:01:51.57
2013, 30% of men,
00:01:51.61\00:01:54.91
16% of women
reported binge drinking
00:01:54.94\00:01:58.65
during the past month.
00:01:58.68\00:02:01.18
Why?
00:02:01.22\00:02:02.68
Heroin use has
tripled in the USA,
00:02:02.72\00:02:05.85
2007 to 2014.
00:02:05.89\00:02:08.72
Last year,
00:02:08.76\00:02:10.09
10,574 deaths
00:02:10.13\00:02:14.20
from heroin.
00:02:14.23\00:02:16.26
In 2014 were one
million heroin users in America,
00:02:16.30\00:02:22.47
in this great land of freedom.
00:02:22.50\00:02:25.81
What's wrong?
00:02:25.84\00:02:27.81
Opioids killed
00:02:27.84\00:02:29.84
more than 33,000 Americans
00:02:29.88\00:02:33.08
in 2015.
00:02:33.11\00:02:36.12
Last year, 44,000 Americans
00:02:36.15\00:02:39.69
committed suicide.
00:02:39.72\00:02:42.12
Why? Including
lots of film stars.
00:02:42.16\00:02:46.70
One million
Americans attempt suicide
00:02:46.73\00:02:49.80
every year in the USA.
00:02:49.83\00:02:55.37
What's wrong?
00:02:55.40\00:02:58.37
The Bible describes
the human condition,
00:02:58.41\00:03:02.24
and it says that man
00:03:02.28\00:03:04.85
is alienated from God.
00:03:04.88\00:03:09.15
Man needs...
00:03:09.18\00:03:11.22
Man needs God.
00:03:11.25\00:03:16.12
And there's no other book
that describes my condition
00:03:16.16\00:03:18.53
such as the Bible.
00:03:18.56\00:03:20.13
That's why politics
and politicians fail.
00:03:20.16\00:03:23.63
That's why I'm
amazed to see people
00:03:23.67\00:03:26.43
who profess to be Christians
who are so tied up in politics.
00:03:26.47\00:03:31.51
Politics do not
save, Jesus saves.
00:03:31.54\00:03:36.61
Politics and politicians fail,
00:03:36.64\00:03:40.22
because they fail to
deal with the real problem.
00:03:40.25\00:03:43.22
All are afflicted
00:03:43.25\00:03:46.15
whether you are a Republican
00:03:46.19\00:03:48.86
or a Democrat or
like me, an independent.
00:03:48.89\00:03:53.80
I like to think
for myself, you see.
00:03:53.83\00:03:56.80
I don't like
people thinking for me,
00:03:56.83\00:03:59.07
I don't like
churches thinking for me,
00:03:59.10\00:04:00.80
and I don't like
00:04:00.84\00:04:02.17
political
parties thinking for me.
00:04:02.20\00:04:05.54
In Australia,
they have an expression
00:04:05.57\00:04:07.81
"You're barking up
the wrong gum tree."
00:04:07.84\00:04:10.05
That means you're
looking in the wrong place.
00:04:10.08\00:04:13.52
I have a friend,
00:04:13.55\00:04:15.45
a great
scientist, I had a friend,
00:04:15.48\00:04:17.72
two PhDs,
00:04:17.75\00:04:20.62
and he was a good man
but he became overwhelmed
00:04:20.66\00:04:25.13
with some things,
and he gave up his faith.
00:04:25.16\00:04:30.40
Just before he
died, he made this remark.
00:04:30.43\00:04:34.77
A friend of mine, he said,
00:04:34.80\00:04:38.07
"I need a savior.
00:04:38.11\00:04:41.18
I need a savior."
00:04:41.21\00:04:44.21
In your heart,
00:04:44.25\00:04:45.58
whether you are Richard
Dawkins or somebody else,
00:04:45.61\00:04:47.35
you need a savior.
00:04:47.38\00:04:49.65
Top 10, reason
number 6. Listen to this.
00:04:49.68\00:04:54.06
Nobody could have invented Him,
00:04:54.09\00:04:56.42
nobody could
have dreamed Him up,
00:04:56.46\00:04:58.39
the person of Christ.
00:04:58.43\00:05:00.86
There's no one else
like Him in history,
00:05:00.90\00:05:02.83
the most influential
person who ever lived.
00:05:02.86\00:05:06.43
Not to be confused
00:05:06.47\00:05:07.80
with the religion of
those who profess His name.
00:05:07.84\00:05:11.57
Sometimes the
religious people are the worst.
00:05:11.61\00:05:15.84
Don't laugh, I'm
perfectly serious.
00:05:15.88\00:05:18.91
The Bible claims
that Jesus Christ
00:05:18.95\00:05:21.02
is the creator of
the universe, universes.
00:05:21.05\00:05:25.25
He became a man,
sinless human being.
00:05:25.29\00:05:28.82
He was not part of
the political process.
00:05:28.86\00:05:32.76
He was not a part of
the religious establishment.
00:05:32.79\00:05:36.73
He was hated by the
politicians and by the priests.
00:05:36.77\00:05:40.77
He started the spiritual...
00:05:40.80\00:05:42.34
He was a spiritual revolutionary
00:05:42.37\00:05:44.47
whose kingdom is
not of this world.
00:05:44.51\00:05:46.84
He said,
00:05:46.88\00:05:48.71
"For God so loved the world
00:05:48.74\00:05:54.22
that He gave His only Son,
00:05:54.25\00:05:55.58
so that whoever believes in Him
00:05:55.62\00:05:57.12
shall not perish but
have everlasting life."
00:05:57.15\00:05:59.75
Who could have devised
00:05:59.79\00:06:01.72
the idea of the
creator of the universe
00:06:01.76\00:06:05.39
becoming a man
00:06:05.43\00:06:06.83
and getting crucified
00:06:06.86\00:06:08.80
to save the world?
00:06:08.83\00:06:10.17
Who would have thought that up?
00:06:13.94\00:06:15.27
Nobody could
have thought that up.
00:06:15.30\00:06:17.41
Nobody could
have thought that up.
00:06:17.44\00:06:19.34
In John 8:57 and
58, He said these words.
00:06:19.37\00:06:24.28
He said,
00:06:24.31\00:06:25.88
"I Am, I Am the I Am."
00:06:25.91\00:06:30.82
He's a carpenter
00:06:30.85\00:06:32.19
who is going to be
murdered by crucifixion,
00:06:32.22\00:06:34.76
that's the worst of deaths.
00:06:34.79\00:06:36.29
You don't have
heroes put on a cross.
00:06:36.32\00:06:40.10
But God becomes a
man, and He is crucified,
00:06:40.13\00:06:43.30
and then he said
00:06:43.33\00:06:44.67
in another
portion of His teachings,
00:06:44.70\00:06:46.63
John 14:6, He said,
00:06:46.67\00:06:49.87
"I am the way, the
truth, and the life."
00:06:49.90\00:06:53.68
If you want to find
the way, then come to Me.
00:06:53.71\00:06:55.58
If you want to find
the truth, come to Me.
00:06:55.61\00:06:58.35
If you want to
find life, come to Me.
00:06:58.38\00:07:02.55
Now He is above
politics and above churches.
00:07:02.58\00:07:08.12
The idea of Christ is
so radical, so unique,
00:07:08.16\00:07:10.63
so extraordinary that
it defies human thought.
00:07:10.66\00:07:15.10
He is the
greatest argument for God
00:07:15.13\00:07:19.00
because only God could
have thought this idea.
00:07:19.03\00:07:24.77
Reason number 7 of the top 10.
00:07:24.81\00:07:30.18
The ability of faith in God
00:07:30.21\00:07:34.45
to change lives.
00:07:34.48\00:07:37.65
The teachings of Christ,
I'll tell you, my friend,
00:07:37.69\00:07:40.16
and I don't talk as
an armchair theologian,
00:07:40.19\00:07:43.73
I'm talking
about what I've seen.
00:07:43.76\00:07:46.86
The teachings of Christ
are like a mighty river flowing
00:07:46.90\00:07:50.00
in a vast desert.
00:07:50.03\00:07:51.67
They bring hope, healing,
prosperity, peace, health,
00:07:51.70\00:07:55.57
life, and longevity.
00:07:55.60\00:07:57.57
In John 10:10,
00:07:57.61\00:08:01.28
Jesus said these words.
00:08:01.31\00:08:03.21
He said, "The thief does
not come except to steal"
00:08:03.24\00:08:07.18
that's false religion,
00:08:07.22\00:08:09.18
everything else,
they are the thieves,
00:08:09.22\00:08:12.05
"and to kill and to destroy.
00:08:12.09\00:08:13.59
I have come that
they may have life,
00:08:13.62\00:08:15.29
that they may have
it more abundantly."
00:08:15.32\00:08:20.23
He said, "If you
believe my teachings,"
00:08:20.26\00:08:22.80
I'm not talking about religion.
00:08:22.83\00:08:25.33
He said, "You will
have life more abundantly."
00:08:25.37\00:08:29.40
Man made religion
masquerading as Christ religion
00:08:29.44\00:08:32.21
has been the curse of humanity,
00:08:32.24\00:08:33.88
that's why so many
atheists have come into being
00:08:33.91\00:08:36.78
that they throw the
baby out with the bathwater.
00:08:36.81\00:08:39.85
It's not intellectually sound.
00:08:39.88\00:08:42.72
The teachings of Christ
00:08:42.75\00:08:44.09
are the greatest
force for good in the world.
00:08:44.12\00:08:47.36
Let me ask you these questions?
00:08:47.39\00:08:48.72
Let us be honest,
00:08:48.76\00:08:50.09
let us be intellectually
honest even though it hurts.
00:08:50.13\00:08:55.06
What destroyed the
barbarism of the Roman Empire?
00:08:55.10\00:08:59.13
The teachings of Christ.
00:08:59.17\00:09:01.94
Who abolished slavery
in the British Empire?
00:09:01.97\00:09:04.77
Wilberforce, John
Newton, the followers of Christ,
00:09:04.81\00:09:07.48
not the atheists, sorry.
00:09:07.51\00:09:09.61
Who established
the great orphanages
00:09:09.64\00:09:11.81
for the rejects of society?
00:09:11.85\00:09:15.65
Christian missionaries.
00:09:15.68\00:09:17.35
Who liberated
women around the world?
00:09:17.39\00:09:19.62
Not the atheists,
00:09:19.65\00:09:21.92
not the Muslims,
00:09:21.96\00:09:24.69
not the Hindus,
00:09:24.73\00:09:28.40
but the teachings of Christ.
00:09:28.43\00:09:30.43
"The truth shall make you free."
00:09:30.47\00:09:32.50
Who gave black people
equal rights in America?
00:09:32.53\00:09:38.77
Christians led
00:09:38.81\00:09:40.14
by a Baptist
minister, that's who?
00:09:40.18\00:09:44.78
He was another Martin Luther
who was born 500 years ago
00:09:44.81\00:09:48.52
during an age of superstition
00:09:48.55\00:09:51.89
and oppression
because of false religion.
00:09:51.92\00:09:56.36
Don't call it
Christianity, it wasn't.
00:09:56.39\00:10:00.46
Martin Luther
started the Reformation,
00:10:00.50\00:10:03.26
and this is a
politically incorrect question
00:10:03.30\00:10:06.63
but I will ask it
because it's the truth.
00:10:06.67\00:10:08.94
We should not be afraid
of truth, only superstition.
00:10:08.97\00:10:12.84
Where do you find the
cleanest, the most prosperous,
00:10:12.87\00:10:15.21
the healthiest,
00:10:15.24\00:10:16.58
the safest
countries in the world?
00:10:16.61\00:10:18.95
The countries that accepted
the teachings of Christ,
00:10:18.98\00:10:22.45
that walked in the light
of the Protestant Reformation,
00:10:22.48\00:10:25.35
Bible believing nations.
00:10:25.39\00:10:27.32
And the latest
Economist magazine says
00:10:27.36\00:10:30.26
they have carried
out a scientific survey,
00:10:30.29\00:10:33.70
and they
discovered that those nations
00:10:33.73\00:10:36.53
or those people that
follow the teachings of Christ
00:10:36.56\00:10:39.80
are the
healthiest, and the happiest,
00:10:39.83\00:10:41.70
and the most prosperous.
00:10:41.74\00:10:43.71
That's the Economist magazine,
00:10:43.74\00:10:45.94
hardly a Christian magazine.
00:10:45.97\00:10:50.71
Number eighth
reason of the top 10.
00:10:50.75\00:10:54.45
Now this is not palatable,
00:10:54.48\00:10:56.58
I don't like giving it to you.
00:10:56.62\00:11:00.29
It is a bitter pill to swallow.
00:11:00.32\00:11:03.29
But let me say
this to the Christians
00:11:03.32\00:11:05.33
who are watching.
00:11:05.36\00:11:07.76
One of the greatest
problems in the Christian church
00:11:07.80\00:11:10.77
is close mindedness
and narrow mindedness.
00:11:10.80\00:11:16.14
Traditional Christianity
that is not based on truth,
00:11:16.17\00:11:20.88
but is based on tradition.
00:11:20.91\00:11:24.21
Why multitudes leave the church?
00:11:24.25\00:11:26.35
It is true also of false science
00:11:30.79\00:11:34.69
that leads to atheism.
00:11:34.72\00:11:36.42
I believe in true
science but not hocus-pocus.
00:11:36.46\00:11:41.40
I do not wish to replace
one bad religion with one
00:11:41.43\00:11:44.17
that is even worse.
00:11:44.20\00:11:46.23
All right.
00:11:46.27\00:11:47.94
Look at the alternative to
God if you have the courage,
00:11:47.97\00:11:51.94
if you're an atheist.
00:11:51.97\00:11:53.78
Don't turn the
program off and say,
00:11:53.81\00:11:56.04
"I'm not going
to listen to this."
00:11:56.08\00:11:58.31
I appeal to you
to have some courage
00:11:58.35\00:12:00.98
and to be intellectually honest.
00:12:01.02\00:12:05.79
And I would say
this to Richard Dawkins
00:12:05.82\00:12:08.59
and all of them.
00:12:08.62\00:12:12.79
Look at the alternative
to belief in God, atheism.
00:12:12.83\00:12:18.37
Look at those
nations that rejected God.
00:12:18.40\00:12:21.47
I was in Australia, I said this,
00:12:25.07\00:12:26.78
a person said I take offense.
00:12:26.81\00:12:28.44
I said, "Well, be my guest.
00:12:28.48\00:12:30.71
Yeah, will you face the truth
00:12:30.75\00:12:33.58
or will you be
a spiritual coward
00:12:33.62\00:12:36.35
all your life?"
00:12:36.38\00:12:37.72
Look at those
nations that rejected God.
00:12:37.75\00:12:39.82
Look at Russia.
I've been there 49 times.
00:12:39.85\00:12:46.23
I'm an authority on
Russia, communism and atheism.
00:12:46.26\00:12:51.17
If the Christians had done this,
00:12:55.24\00:12:56.57
the atheists would
not have been silent
00:12:56.60\00:12:58.41
for one moment,
therefore why should I?
00:12:58.44\00:13:02.34
The atheists, militant
atheism in Russia put to death
00:13:02.38\00:13:07.18
at least 50 million people.
00:13:07.22\00:13:11.59
Tortured them,
00:13:11.62\00:13:13.72
beat them to
death, kick them to death,
00:13:13.76\00:13:16.26
starve them to
death, froze them to death.
00:13:16.29\00:13:19.59
They did exactly
the same in Ukraine.
00:13:23.63\00:13:27.14
They did the same in China.
00:13:27.17\00:13:30.37
What about
Cambodia? There's no God.
00:13:30.41\00:13:33.41
And if there is no God,
00:13:33.44\00:13:35.01
when will we ever
learn and grow up?
00:13:35.04\00:13:37.78
If there is no
God, there is no man
00:13:37.81\00:13:40.92
because the death of God
00:13:40.95\00:13:43.55
always leads to
the death of man.
00:13:43.59\00:13:47.42
Have you heard of Dostoyevsky?
00:13:47.46\00:13:51.19
Haven't heard of him?
Well, go and google it.
00:13:51.23\00:13:53.06
You need to hear of him.
00:13:53.09\00:13:55.06
Dostoyevsky, the
great Russian writer,
00:13:55.10\00:13:59.17
one of the greatest writers
00:13:59.20\00:14:00.54
in the history
of the human race,
00:14:00.57\00:14:01.94
Dostoyevsky said,
00:14:01.97\00:14:03.51
"If there is no God,
everything is possible."
00:14:03.54\00:14:08.58
Why can't we be
intellectually honest?
00:14:08.61\00:14:12.15
If there is no God and
if this brain is simply
00:14:12.18\00:14:16.89
the result of mindless faucets,
00:14:16.92\00:14:20.42
if there is no
purpose in at all,
00:14:20.46\00:14:23.79
if the evolutionary
process just is a blind thing,
00:14:23.83\00:14:28.53
and if there is no
God, think about this.
00:14:28.56\00:14:33.37
If man is the product of
time plus matter plus chance,
00:14:33.40\00:14:36.67
don't say, "It doesn't matter."
00:14:36.71\00:14:39.97
If man is the product of
time plus matter plus chance,
00:14:40.01\00:14:42.98
listen to this.
00:14:43.01\00:14:45.15
How can you trust the mind?
00:14:45.18\00:14:49.05
You know what Darwin said,
00:14:49.08\00:14:51.35
and he was
right, sometimes honest.
00:14:51.39\00:14:54.76
He said, "Then rises
the terrible thought.
00:14:54.79\00:14:58.76
If my mind has come
00:14:58.79\00:15:02.53
from the lowest creature,
00:15:02.56\00:15:07.34
the lowest
creature in the swamp,
00:15:07.37\00:15:11.04
how can I trust
its conclusions?"
00:15:11.07\00:15:16.88
Therefore, if this is the result
00:15:16.91\00:15:20.98
of the mindless force
and if there is no God,
00:15:21.02\00:15:25.59
you cannot even
believe in atheism
00:15:25.62\00:15:30.09
because you are trusting
00:15:30.13\00:15:32.43
the conclusions of that
00:15:32.46\00:15:36.46
which is a purposeless thing.
00:15:36.50\00:15:40.07
I think it's true. Be honest.
00:15:40.10\00:15:43.14
I hate people...
It almost annoys me.
00:15:43.17\00:15:45.41
I hate people say,
"Well, you know, I believe..."
00:15:45.44\00:15:49.31
Doesn't matter what you believe.
00:15:49.34\00:15:52.01
That doesn't make
it right or wrong.
00:15:52.05\00:15:54.88
What we need to
have is the truth.
00:15:54.92\00:15:59.05
We need to have facts.
00:15:59.09\00:16:00.92
If I were to
discover from my research
00:16:00.96\00:16:04.03
that the Bible is hocus-pocus,
I wouldn't believe it.
00:16:04.06\00:16:09.13
People say, "Well, I would."
00:16:09.16\00:16:12.07
Well, then you're deluded.
00:16:12.10\00:16:14.04
I believe in scripture
00:16:14.07\00:16:15.40
because I have evidence
it is the truth, you see.
00:16:15.44\00:16:20.11
And I want evidence.
00:16:20.14\00:16:22.28
Now look at Cambodia, Pol Pot.
00:16:22.31\00:16:25.05
Million put to death.
00:16:25.08\00:16:28.22
Dostoyevsky,
00:16:28.25\00:16:29.58
"If there is no God,
everything is possible."
00:16:29.62\00:16:31.32
Have a look at this.
00:16:31.35\00:16:33.82
See this.
00:16:33.86\00:16:35.19
Along the Trans Siberian Railway
00:16:39.86\00:16:44.53
when millions and
millions of people,
00:16:44.57\00:16:49.40
many Christians,
00:16:49.44\00:16:52.21
I hope I would
have gone dissidents,
00:16:52.24\00:16:57.08
I'd like to be a
dissident for Christ, and I am.
00:16:57.11\00:17:00.42
Millions went there.
00:17:05.32\00:17:07.06
In Siberia alone,
00:17:07.09\00:17:10.06
atheism murdered 10 million.
00:17:10.09\00:17:14.86
What a great
argument for atheism!
00:17:14.90\00:17:16.56
People come and say to me,
00:17:16.60\00:17:17.93
"Well, what about the Dark Ages
00:17:17.97\00:17:19.93
when the Catholic
Church put millions to death?"
00:17:19.97\00:17:22.20
Hey,
00:17:22.24\00:17:24.97
I don't accept that
as a teaching of Christ.
00:17:25.01\00:17:28.31
I don't accept that
as a religion of Christ.
00:17:28.34\00:17:32.51
I don't believe that. I
don't believe that at all.
00:17:32.55\00:17:36.99
But Jesus Christ never
persecuted a single soul.
00:17:37.02\00:17:42.42
Jesus said, "I've
come to save lives,
00:17:42.46\00:17:44.93
not to take lives."
00:17:44.96\00:17:46.29
I've been to Siberia many times.
00:17:49.73\00:17:51.97
I've stood in far cemeteries
up to my waist in snow,
00:17:52.00\00:17:58.84
and I thought of the people
00:17:58.87\00:18:00.61
and the millions
sleeping beneath my feet
00:18:00.64\00:18:04.85
who were killed
00:18:04.88\00:18:06.21
because, if there is no God,
00:18:06.25\00:18:09.72
anything is possible.
00:18:09.75\00:18:11.15
This is a spike
00:18:15.26\00:18:17.89
from the
Trans-Siberian railway line.
00:18:17.93\00:18:20.13
I went outside
Okhotsk near Lake Baikal.
00:18:23.83\00:18:29.30
Ever heard of it?
00:18:29.34\00:18:30.84
Largest
freshwater lake in the world,
00:18:30.87\00:18:33.88
contains one-fifth of
all the surface fresh water
00:18:33.91\00:18:36.58
in the world.
00:18:36.61\00:18:37.95
Ever heard of it?
00:18:37.98\00:18:39.31
When stood on the railway line,
and I picked up some spikes,
00:18:39.35\00:18:44.45
I brought a heap of them back
and gave them to my friends.
00:18:44.49\00:18:47.99
This one I had covered in gold
00:18:48.02\00:18:53.73
to remind me...
00:18:53.76\00:18:55.10
Of the silver of their
tears, the gold of their blood.
00:18:59.63\00:19:05.57
Something
marvelous happened there.
00:19:05.61\00:19:08.14
People died
00:19:08.18\00:19:10.95
with the hands of the atheists.
00:19:10.98\00:19:15.75
You see, the atheist said,
00:19:15.78\00:19:18.15
"There is no God,
00:19:18.19\00:19:19.52
and if there is no
God, there's no man."
00:19:19.55\00:19:24.09
Solzhenitsyn was being
tortured by an atheist woman,
00:19:24.13\00:19:29.36
torturing him in
a most terrible way.
00:19:29.40\00:19:32.53
He cried out in pain,
"Don't you know I have a soul?"
00:19:32.57\00:19:35.34
She said, "We don't
have any souls left.
00:19:35.37\00:19:39.57
"We don't have any souls."
00:19:39.61\00:19:41.24
She said, "You gotta break eggs
when you're making an omelet.
00:19:41.28\00:19:45.71
We're making an omelet."
00:19:45.75\00:19:47.52
Crack, crack, another egg.
00:19:47.55\00:19:51.05
There is no
God, there is no man.
00:19:51.09\00:19:53.72
You want to know why
America is going down,
00:19:53.76\00:19:56.66
because America has put
God out of their schools.
00:19:56.69\00:20:00.46
Got rid of the Ten Commandments
00:20:00.50\00:20:03.00
and brought in secularism,
00:20:03.03\00:20:04.43
and socialism, and atheism.
00:20:04.47\00:20:09.90
So look at the alternative.
00:20:09.94\00:20:13.14
Reason number 9 of the top 10.
00:20:13.17\00:20:16.95
It is prophecy.
00:20:16.98\00:20:18.95
Most folks are
not aware of this.
00:20:18.98\00:20:21.12
This is a book of prophecy.
00:20:21.15\00:20:23.32
It is unlike any other
book in the whole wide world.
00:20:23.35\00:20:28.39
I have seen tens of thousands
of atheists come to God
00:20:28.42\00:20:33.40
because they were honest.
00:20:33.43\00:20:35.33
Not everybody is honest.
00:20:35.36\00:20:37.43
There is a prophecy in the Bible
00:20:37.47\00:20:39.17
about the city of Tyre.
00:20:39.20\00:20:42.24
The Bible says that
Tyre would be destroyed.
00:20:42.27\00:20:46.37
Half a mile out in this,
00:20:46.41\00:20:48.68
I've flown over
this in a Boeing 747,
00:20:48.71\00:20:51.61
taken pictures up
there, the island city of Tyre.
00:20:51.65\00:20:56.32
Nebuchadnezzar
came against Tyre.
00:20:56.35\00:20:58.65
There is a
prophecy given about Tyre.
00:20:58.69\00:21:02.66
It's in Ezekiel 26,
00:21:02.69\00:21:07.10
"And they shall
destroy the walls of Tyre."
00:21:07.13\00:21:11.10
Come on, atheist,
never heard of it?
00:21:11.13\00:21:14.24
Of course you haven't.
00:21:14.27\00:21:15.74
But now is your opportunity.
00:21:15.77\00:21:18.31
"They shall
destroy the walls of Tyre,
00:21:18.34\00:21:19.87
break down her towers,
00:21:19.91\00:21:21.54
I will also
scrape her dust from her
00:21:21.58\00:21:23.78
and make her like
the top of a rock.
00:21:23.81\00:21:26.58
It shall be a
place for spreading nets
00:21:26.61\00:21:29.18
in the midst of the sea,"
00:21:29.22\00:21:31.15
observe, "for I have
spoken," says the Lord God,
00:21:31.19\00:21:34.92
'it shall become
plunder for the nations.'"
00:21:34.96\00:21:37.06
The city would be destroyed
and thrown into the sea.
00:21:37.09\00:21:42.93
Ridiculous!
00:21:42.96\00:21:46.03
Well, Nebuchadnezzar
came, he destroyed the city,
00:21:46.07\00:21:49.14
but he didn't
throw it into the sea.
00:21:49.17\00:21:50.91
And then came the
soldiers of Alexander the Great.
00:21:50.94\00:21:56.75
They marched to attack the city,
00:21:56.78\00:21:58.71
but the people were
out here on an island.
00:21:58.75\00:22:01.62
So Alexander picked up
all the ruins of Old Tyre
00:22:01.65\00:22:06.15
and threw them into the
waters and built a causeway.
00:22:06.19\00:22:11.13
I have been there.
00:22:11.16\00:22:15.53
This is the present...
00:22:15.56\00:22:16.90
You could see the
present coastline,
00:22:16.93\00:22:19.07
how hard it was buildup
00:22:19.10\00:22:20.90
by the erosion and
sand going down to Tyre.
00:22:20.94\00:22:26.27
I went there.
00:22:26.31\00:22:27.78
Saw the
causeway, saw the rubble,
00:22:27.81\00:22:32.45
everything from Old
Tyre as I stood there.
00:22:32.48\00:22:36.89
So help me, God, as the truth.
00:22:36.92\00:22:39.25
Some fisherman came
along, and they cast their nets
00:22:39.29\00:22:44.76
on Old Tyre in
the midst of the sea.
00:22:44.79\00:22:46.80
So you say, you
believe just because of faith.
00:22:50.53\00:22:54.14
No!
00:22:54.17\00:22:56.30
I believe not because of
faith but because of evidence.
00:22:56.34\00:23:00.91
You see, I believe
in facts so did Jesus,
00:23:00.94\00:23:06.11
"You will know the truth,
00:23:06.15\00:23:08.45
and the truth
will make you free."
00:23:08.48\00:23:11.05
I believe in the facts.
00:23:11.09\00:23:14.46
I have seen thousands
of atheists accept God
00:23:14.49\00:23:17.49
because of prophecy,
but they had open hearts,
00:23:17.53\00:23:21.76
and you got to have an
open heart too, my friend.
00:23:21.80\00:23:24.67
Don't say, "I'm just..."
00:23:24.70\00:23:26.13
Don't become bigoted
like a bigoted religionist,
00:23:26.17\00:23:30.11
because atheism
is a religion also.
00:23:30.14\00:23:35.78
Number 10
reason, it's very simple.
00:23:35.81\00:23:38.41
If you accept God,
00:23:41.95\00:23:43.55
you've got everything to
gain and nothing to lose.
00:23:43.59\00:23:47.46
If God exists, and I believe it,
00:23:47.49\00:23:49.96
I've everything to
gain and nothing to lose.
00:23:49.99\00:23:52.66
If I am wrong,
00:23:52.69\00:23:54.63
I have lost nothing, you see.
00:23:54.66\00:23:59.20
"If I do not believe in God,
00:23:59.23\00:24:02.00
I have nothing to gain
but everything to lose.
00:24:02.04\00:24:05.94
If I am wrong, I
have lost everything."
00:24:05.97\00:24:11.51
You see?
00:24:11.55\00:24:13.11
If I believe in
God, I gain everything
00:24:13.15\00:24:15.15
and lose nothing
that is worthwhile.
00:24:15.18\00:24:18.22
If I do not believe in God,
00:24:18.25\00:24:19.65
I gain nothing
and lose everything.
00:24:19.69\00:24:23.59
Now back to the university.
00:24:23.63\00:24:27.66
The professor said to John,
00:24:27.70\00:24:30.17
"We are bringing the
best atheistic professor
00:24:30.20\00:24:34.07
who is going to
debate with you."
00:24:34.10\00:24:35.77
The auditorium was filled
and the professor was late.
00:24:35.80\00:24:41.14
So they called and called.
00:24:41.18\00:24:45.18
And then John's professor
came to John, and he said,
00:24:45.21\00:24:50.39
"She will not be coming
00:24:50.42\00:24:52.09
to debate today.
00:24:52.12\00:24:56.42
She has just
taken her own life."
00:24:56.46\00:24:59.26
But why not?
00:25:02.36\00:25:05.23
If there is no God,
00:25:05.27\00:25:07.40
there is no man, you see.
00:25:07.44\00:25:12.67
This happened to my
friend, Dr. John Hammond,
00:25:12.71\00:25:17.05
comes from Australia.
00:25:17.08\00:25:19.41
John went on,
00:25:19.45\00:25:21.88
no one to debate with,
00:25:21.92\00:25:23.25
so therefore, he
gave his defense of God
00:25:23.28\00:25:27.16
and moved the
hearts of the whole place.
00:25:27.19\00:25:30.83
John went on and
got his doctorate
00:25:30.86\00:25:33.33
and became a great
Christian educator.
00:25:33.36\00:25:37.57
He became what he was,
00:25:37.60\00:25:40.80
not because of blind faith,
00:25:40.84\00:25:44.37
but because honestly,
00:25:44.41\00:25:48.04
he believed in the facts.
00:25:48.08\00:25:50.45
And therefore, my
message to you today,
00:25:50.48\00:25:54.38
my beloved atheist
friend whom God loves.
00:25:54.42\00:25:58.25
And to you, my religious friend,
00:25:58.29\00:26:00.99
here it is.
00:26:01.02\00:26:02.72
Believe in the God,
00:26:02.76\00:26:07.03
who believes in you.
00:26:07.06\00:26:11.17
Amen.
00:26:11.20\00:26:12.87
The antichrist is
in the temple of God.
00:26:18.57\00:26:24.08
I will read you the actual words
00:26:24.11\00:26:26.58
of the Great
Roman Catholic Church.
00:26:26.61\00:26:31.12
More than a billion
people pray to the dead.
00:26:31.15\00:26:36.62
But the Bible talks very plainly
00:26:36.66\00:26:38.09
about good angels
00:26:38.13\00:26:40.00
and bad angels.
00:26:40.03\00:26:44.53
Why on earth were you
00:26:44.57\00:26:47.97
and I born?
