The Psalmist says
in Psalm 107 verse 1:
00:00:01.70\00:00:04.90
"Let the redeemed
of the Lord say so
00:00:05.10\00:00:07.64
whom He hath redeemed
from the hand of the enemy. "
00:00:07.84\00:00:11.24
Hello and welcome to
From Sickness To Health.
00:00:11.44\00:00:14.01
I'm your host Rico
Hill and this is my...
00:00:14.31\00:00:18.38
friend. What're you doing?
00:00:18.98\00:00:21.55
I'm practicing
how to pass the test
00:00:22.15\00:00:25.25
in case I get
stopped. Stopped by whom?
00:00:25.75\00:00:29.49
The police! They pull
people over all the time
00:00:29.69\00:00:33.29
for drinking and
driving. Now 1, 2, 3, 4...
00:00:33.50\00:00:38.70
Why would they stop
you? Have you been drinking?
00:00:38.90\00:00:41.30
Is this going to
be on TV? Uh... yes!
00:00:41.50\00:00:44.54
Then no! Are you
going to keep doing this?
00:00:44.74\00:00:50.55
Is this going to be on TV?
00:00:51.05\00:00:52.71
YES! Then yes! Now
hop, hop, hop, hop, hop...
00:00:53.52\00:00:58.12
I guess you're passing
with flying colors, aren't you?
00:01:04.16\00:01:06.70
Yes... absolutely! Flying
blue colors. Thanks for asking.
00:01:06.90\00:01:10.90
Well, in today's program
we are going to talk about
00:01:12.50\00:01:16.37
wine and alcohol...
00:01:16.71\00:01:18.81
which we weren't
supposed to drink by the way.
00:01:19.01\00:01:21.88
Oh, is this the part where
you're going to give a Bible
00:01:22.08\00:01:23.85
verse? Well let me
give you the Bible text:
00:01:24.05\00:01:25.51
"A little wine is
good for the stomach. "
00:01:25.71\00:01:29.48
And a little wine
after work is good.
00:01:29.88\00:01:32.85
And on the way home is good.
00:01:33.05\00:01:35.12
And a little nightcap is good.
00:01:35.32\00:01:37.89
Wine is good, and
it never hurt nobody.
00:01:38.29\00:01:42.06
Well... while he
misuses the Bible
00:01:43.40\00:01:46.20
we're going to go
into this topic today about
00:01:46.40\00:01:49.07
wine and see if it's
true that a little wine
00:01:49.27\00:01:52.07
never hurt nobody. Roll
it! And kick it to the right.
00:01:52.27\00:01:56.44
Thank you for joining
us here in the studio of
00:02:35.58\00:02:37.95
From Sickness To Health.
00:02:38.15\00:02:39.52
We're so glad
that you stuck around.
00:02:39.92\00:02:41.62
Today we have another exciting
program to talk to you about
00:02:41.82\00:02:45.03
to share with you some
information that you will find
00:02:45.23\00:02:48.46
helpful and useful. Now, we're
going to be covering a topic
00:02:48.66\00:02:51.90
that a lot of people...
There's a lot of confusion
00:02:52.10\00:02:54.50
surrounding this topic,
and it's really temperance.
00:02:54.70\00:02:58.14
Temperance. We want to
know today what is temperance.
00:02:58.54\00:03:01.04
And we're using wine
and the use of alcohol
00:03:01.24\00:03:04.75
as a springboard. So we've got
a lot to share with you today.
00:03:04.95\00:03:08.05
But before we get into the
conversation with my esteemed
00:03:08.25\00:03:11.15
guests I want to say
hello to our friend Sickness.
00:03:11.35\00:03:14.29
Where are you? What's going on?
00:03:14.49\00:03:15.82
Well, let's just say
I didn't pass the test
00:03:15.99\00:03:18.89
so I'm going to encourage
the local jail inmates.
00:03:19.29\00:03:22.73
Oh yes, officer... gotta go!
00:03:22.93\00:03:24.60
We'll hear back from
him in a few moments.
00:03:25.80\00:03:28.07
I'm sure he's got
more to share with us.
00:03:28.27\00:03:30.31
But let's introduce our guests.
00:03:30.51\00:03:32.91
All right. It's all right.
Dr. Thomas Jackson is with us
00:03:36.98\00:03:39.95
today. We're glad to have
you here with us once again.
00:03:40.15\00:03:42.72
He is a doctor of
natural health sciences
00:03:42.92\00:03:47.26
and he's with his lovely
wife, Dr. Laverne Jackson.
00:03:47.46\00:03:50.26
And she is a doctor
of nutritional sciences.
00:03:50.46\00:03:53.90
Thank you for being
here. Thank you for having us.
00:03:54.10\00:03:57.17
Ah yes, we're going to
have fun today, aren't we?
00:03:57.37\00:03:58.70
It's already started,
right? It's already started.
00:03:58.90\00:04:00.47
We can't leave
out our other couple.
00:04:00.97\00:04:03.61
We like having couples here,
and today we have also with us
00:04:03.81\00:04:06.54
Reidland Bredy and his
lovely wife Sherry-Lynne Bredy.
00:04:06.78\00:04:09.24
Now he is a physical therapist
and she is an occupational
00:04:09.54\00:04:12.15
therapist. Do you see
how that matches together?
00:04:12.35\00:04:15.02
What a couple! Thank you
so much for being with us.
00:04:15.22\00:04:16.79
Thank you, Rico. We
appreciate your being here.
00:04:16.99\00:04:19.09
Now, so we're talking
about... we're using wine as a
00:04:19.29\00:04:23.36
springboard because
there's confusion around it.
00:04:23.56\00:04:25.26
But there are other
items that we use as food
00:04:25.46\00:04:29.06
that also create a little
bit of confusion... because why?
00:04:29.26\00:04:33.20
There are conflicting
reports from the news
00:04:33.64\00:04:37.04
that tell us one
day that it's good
00:04:37.24\00:04:38.97
and then the next
day it's bad. Um-hmm.
00:04:39.17\00:04:40.51
One day it's good and
then a report seemingly
00:04:40.88\00:04:44.78
from peer reviewed sources -
00:04:44.98\00:04:47.02
scientific resources, right? -
00:04:47.22\00:04:49.38
that say... that
will come and contradict
00:04:49.58\00:04:52.52
the one that came out
just a few days before.
00:04:52.72\00:04:54.26
What are we to do?
00:04:54.52\00:04:56.09
I think we have to go to
a source that is reliable.
00:04:56.49\00:05:00.13
So what are we going
to do? We go to the Bible!
00:05:00.33\00:05:02.23
We go the Bible. We
go to the supreme source
00:05:02.43\00:05:05.27
of all information
and of all knowledge.
00:05:05.47\00:05:08.00
So... we want to
really deal with this today
00:05:08.20\00:05:09.77
by looking at what the
Bible says is temperance, right?
00:05:10.01\00:05:14.18
That's right. So...
before we do that...
00:05:14.34\00:05:17.25
let's go and figure out
what happened to Sickness. OK.
00:05:17.45\00:05:20.62
I'm a little concerned about
him... I'm a little concerned
00:05:20.82\00:05:23.59
so let's see where he is,
if he got out of this mess.
00:05:23.79\00:05:25.79
Thank you, Rico...
thank you very much.
00:05:28.29\00:05:30.33
You know, the youth of
today are tomorrow's leaders.
00:05:30.53\00:05:33.93
We're here on a university
campus where recreational
00:05:38.70\00:05:41.57
drug use and social
drinking is cultivated.
00:05:41.77\00:05:45.34
You know, while
cigarette smoking is down
00:05:45.54\00:05:48.24
marijuana usage is up... WAY UP!
00:05:48.44\00:05:52.48
But hey, that's a different
subject for another time.
00:05:52.68\00:05:55.18
You know, let's talk
about drinking specifically.
00:05:55.58\00:05:58.92
What would college be
like without beer, wine,
00:05:59.12\00:06:03.73
and alcohol? It
wouldn't be the same.
00:06:03.93\00:06:06.70
You see, the trick is
the cool advertising during
00:06:06.90\00:06:09.50
the sporting events we watch.
00:06:09.70\00:06:11.43
Maybe it's the
music... the dancing, the girls.
00:06:11.63\00:06:15.34
Look at all of these
potential substance abusers!
00:06:16.37\00:06:20.28
You know, if you can
get them to do some drugs
00:06:20.68\00:06:22.64
or a little alcohol
their inhibitions go away.
00:06:22.84\00:06:27.82
When that happens
you can get these folks
00:06:28.02\00:06:30.22
to do just about
anything and everything
00:06:30.42\00:06:36.02
EXCEPT care for their health
00:06:36.42\00:06:39.03
or the health of others.
00:06:39.23\00:06:41.33
It's a beautiful thing.
They'll even drink and drive.
00:06:41.53\00:06:44.70
Yeah. And do you
think they care about health
00:06:45.10\00:06:47.44
or the health of others?
00:06:47.64\00:06:48.97
THIS is where they
become our experts.
00:06:49.84\00:06:53.38
Back to you, Rico.
00:06:53.58\00:06:54.98
Well... it looks like
our friend got out of a mess.
00:06:57.98\00:07:00.98
We're going to have to find out
how he did, but let's go into
00:07:01.18\00:07:03.89
our discussion. So we have
agreed that the Bible is our
00:07:04.09\00:07:08.32
supreme authority in this
matter, and we have agreed...
00:07:08.52\00:07:12.66
we have agreed that wine
is something that creates
00:07:13.06\00:07:16.70
confusion. Some
people say drink it;
00:07:16.90\00:07:18.97
some people say don't.
Some people say it's healthy
00:07:19.17\00:07:21.30
and good for the heart;
others say it might cause
00:07:21.50\00:07:24.01
some other lifestyle diseases.
00:07:24.21\00:07:26.71
How do we get to what is
actually true in this matter?
00:07:27.01\00:07:30.78
And we're going to go to this.
00:07:31.08\00:07:33.72
Isn't that right, Dr. Jackson?
That is absolutely right.
00:07:33.92\00:07:36.18
He used the Bible in
- that is, Sickness -
00:07:36.48\00:07:38.72
he used it in our
little introduction there.
00:07:38.92\00:07:41.82
He said that: "a
little wine is good. "
00:07:42.02\00:07:46.56
For the stomach.
And you know what?
00:07:46.90\00:07:48.43
They're saying the
same thing: "Wine is good.
00:07:49.73\00:07:53.34
I agree with that guy. "
00:07:53.54\00:07:55.44
What do you say? Well, it
might catch you off guard.
00:07:55.64\00:07:58.14
I agree too. Oh! What?
00:07:58.44\00:08:01.18
Yes. A little wine is
good for the stomach's sake.
00:08:01.38\00:08:04.98
However... I knew
there was a however...
00:08:05.38\00:08:07.68
however, we need to
let the Word of God define
00:08:08.65\00:08:11.62
what this wine is.
All right... let's do it.
00:08:11.82\00:08:14.26
And we find that... Now Sickness
quoted I Timothy chapter 5
00:08:14.42\00:08:18.99
verse 23. That's where, just in
case our audience wants to know,
00:08:19.19\00:08:22.16
that's what he's
quoting. And the fact is is that
00:08:22.36\00:08:24.63
we do believe that wine,
but as we let the Bible explain
00:08:24.83\00:08:28.17
one of the places in the book
of Isaiah chapter 65 verse 8.
00:08:28.37\00:08:31.87
They might want to just
jot that down. Can we go there?
00:08:32.07\00:08:35.28
Oh, we should go there.
00:08:35.48\00:08:36.85
Well, let's just go there. We're
going to the book of Isaiah...
00:08:37.05\00:08:39.58
Isaiah chapter 65 and verse 8.
00:08:39.78\00:08:42.32
Yeah, that's just...
Isaiah 65 and verse 8.
00:08:42.52\00:08:44.99
And because for the sake
of time, we just look at this
00:08:45.19\00:08:47.29
verse, and anyone that really
studies the Word of God...
00:08:47.49\00:08:49.96
In Isaiah 65 verse
8 notice what it says:
00:08:50.16\00:08:53.06
It says: "Thus says the Lord
00:08:53.40\00:08:55.80
as the new wine is
found in the cluster. "
00:08:56.00\00:09:01.14
Wait a minute.
Cluster... that suggests that
00:09:01.34\00:09:04.04
we're talking about fresh
wine that is in the grape.
00:09:04.24\00:09:07.11
That's right. OK. And
we must draw the conclusion
00:09:07.31\00:09:10.08
this is non-fermented grape.
00:09:10.28\00:09:13.55
Now you need to explain. What
are we talking about when we say
00:09:13.75\00:09:16.28
fermented? Well we realize
that when we're talking about
00:09:16.48\00:09:19.92
new wine in the cluster
it has not been left over
00:09:20.16\00:09:24.86
to turn to what we call alcohol.
00:09:25.06\00:09:27.20
There is a bacteria that
grows in there that creates a
00:09:27.40\00:09:29.93
fermentation that gives
us that sensational feeling.
00:09:30.17\00:09:34.77
Um-hmm. Inebriation.
It's inebriation... just like
00:09:34.97\00:09:36.81
food ferments, it's
sour. It's sour? It's sour.
00:09:37.01\00:09:40.78
You have to let it sit in
order for it to just mellow.
00:09:40.98\00:09:44.15
Thank you for
explaining that. Let's continue.
00:09:44.31\00:09:46.08
And so here we find the new
wine is found in the cluster.
00:09:46.28\00:09:49.82
"And one said:
'Destroy it not for... ' Why?
00:09:50.02\00:09:52.32
'a blessing is in it.
' " Oh, that's so clear.
00:09:52.52\00:09:55.99
So therefore this new wine
00:09:56.19\00:09:57.73
which is - they must draw
the conclusion - is really pure
00:09:57.93\00:10:00.70
grape juice. You
hear that? Grape juice!
00:10:00.90\00:10:04.17
Grape juice! Hey Rico!
00:10:04.47\00:10:07.34
Yes Sickness? Well
let's just say that
00:10:07.67\00:10:10.81
the guy that was trying to
take me away: he likes some
00:10:10.97\00:10:12.81
Twinkies and doughnuts... so
I got totally out of that one.
00:10:13.01\00:10:16.21
But hey! I want to bring
some light on this discussion.
00:10:16.41\00:10:18.55
There was a reason Jesus' first
and most magnificent miracle
00:10:18.75\00:10:23.49
was turning water
into wine. Gotcha!
00:10:23.69\00:10:27.79
Gotcha! Did he get us?
00:10:27.99\00:10:30.13
Does he have
us? Does he have us?
00:10:30.33\00:10:33.03
I think he's played
right into your hands. Oh!
00:10:33.23\00:10:35.43
Well let's break it down.
00:10:35.73\00:10:37.07
Just the fact is
that that water to wine
00:10:37.17\00:10:39.23
because remember, we stated
that this wine is new wine.
00:10:39.43\00:10:42.87
Is new wine! It's new wine. It's
not fermented; it's not sour;
00:10:43.07\00:10:46.34
it's not mellowed. It's still
in the cluster. It's still in
00:10:46.54\00:10:48.24
the cluster, so
the water to wine:
00:10:48.44\00:10:51.81
fresh... no fermentation.
God never, you know,
00:10:52.01\00:10:56.48
introduced into His
ministry fermented wine.
00:10:56.69\00:10:59.69
This wine was fresh
wine from the grapes you see.
00:10:59.89\00:11:03.63
Fresh wine. In fact, I believe
00:11:03.83\00:11:05.73
that it was said to
Jesus: "You've saved the best. "
00:11:05.93\00:11:11.60
"For last. " And the
Bible says, the new wine
00:11:11.80\00:11:15.30
is the best... it's the
blessing. Is the blessing!
00:11:15.50\00:11:19.27
That's right. It's a blessing.
00:11:19.47\00:11:21.08
What are you? I
hear something...
00:11:21.28\00:11:23.75
Well, all this conversation
is excellent because
00:11:24.28\00:11:28.05
you know, it's important
to differentiate between that
00:11:28.75\00:11:31.39
new wine that Dr. Jackson men-
tioned and the fermented wine.
00:11:31.59\00:11:35.16
It's old. Yes, it's old
and fermented. It's aged
00:11:35.36\00:11:38.23
just like cheese is,
but we'll get on that later.
00:11:38.43\00:11:40.53
Anyway, so when Jesus
did it... Jesus, knowing
00:11:40.93\00:11:46.43
the Old Testament very well,
00:11:46.63\00:11:49.90
He would quote
from Proverbs 20 verse 1
00:11:50.11\00:11:53.01
"Wine is a mocker and
strong drink is raging,
00:11:53.21\00:11:56.88
and whosoever is
deceived by it is not wise. "
00:11:57.08\00:12:01.92
Wow! Period.
00:12:02.32\00:12:04.22
Now I want to remind us...
I want to remind us that we're
00:12:04.42\00:12:06.96
now talking about
what happens physically
00:12:07.16\00:12:10.43
as a result of wine and alcohol.
00:12:10.63\00:12:13.73
But do not think for a moment
that we're not going to bring
00:12:14.13\00:12:17.20
this back around to
the spiritual implications.
00:12:17.40\00:12:20.87
Is that right? Um-hmm.
00:12:21.07\00:12:22.50
So... All
right... So... go ahead.
00:12:22.70\00:12:24.37
Just one more point as well
00:12:24.57\00:12:26.61
since we're talking about
the overall theme of temperance.
00:12:26.81\00:12:29.81
Um-hmm. And one of my favorite
quotes from the Bible is...
00:12:30.15\00:12:33.18
is I Thessalonians 5 where
it says to "prove all things" -
00:12:33.62\00:12:37.69
um-hmm - "and hold fast
to that which is good. "
00:12:37.89\00:12:40.96
OK. "Abstain from
all appearance of evil. "
00:12:41.12\00:12:44.73
So there God is telling us,
you know, "test everything. "
00:12:45.13\00:12:50.17
Make sure that it's
according to the Word of God
00:12:50.37\00:12:52.50
and hold only to
that which is good.
00:12:52.70\00:12:55.34
Because just as God
created all things in creation
00:12:55.54\00:12:58.77
and said it was good it is good.
00:12:58.97\00:13:00.98
Those things that are good for
your body that do not produce
00:13:01.38\00:13:04.05
any harm - um-hmm - is
what we should cling to -
00:13:04.25\00:13:07.05
that's right - and
then abstain from that which
00:13:07.25\00:13:09.78
has even the appearance
- that's right - of evil.
00:13:10.19\00:13:13.12
Very good. Now,
Sr. Jackson - yes -
00:13:13.36\00:13:16.56
your husband has pointed out
that we're talking about grape
00:13:16.76\00:13:19.76
juice. Yes. So you as a
doctor of nutritional sciences
00:13:20.00\00:13:25.50
you need to tell us
what's in that grape juice
00:13:25.70\00:13:28.07
and what's in that wine that
researchers are confused over.
00:13:28.47\00:13:31.81
Well, there is an antioxidant,
resveratrol, that helps to
00:13:32.01\00:13:37.05
slow down the
degeneration of the cells.
00:13:37.25\00:13:41.62
That's what's in that
unfermented grape juice.
00:13:41.82\00:13:46.15
Ah... excellent. So
we're talking about resveratrol
00:13:46.35\00:13:49.42
and it is an antioxidant.
We know that that fights
00:13:49.62\00:13:52.06
free radicals, right?
That's right. So there will not
00:13:52.26\00:13:55.13
be the stress
that's on the cells
00:13:55.33\00:13:57.70
as it would be when we have
something that is fermented.
00:13:57.90\00:14:02.50
That's right. And
highly acidic. That's right.
00:14:02.70\00:14:04.84
That decreases the
oxygen and also accelerates
00:14:05.04\00:14:08.01
the degeneration of those cells.
00:14:08.21\00:14:10.38
So... completely opposite!
It's just the opposite.
00:14:10.58\00:14:12.61
Now when someone is having
that acidic, fermented alcohol
00:14:12.81\00:14:16.35
or a mixed drink or
wine or whatever you want to
00:14:16.79\00:14:20.66
call it, oftentimes we see
that people have gotten into
00:14:20.86\00:14:24.46
some serious issues beyond
what we saw with Sickness.
00:14:24.66\00:14:27.73
We're talking
about accidents. Um-hmm.
00:14:27.93\00:14:30.07
We're talking about people
having serious car accidents.
00:14:30.27\00:14:33.54
Totaling cars. The drunk
driver... you've heard the
00:14:33.74\00:14:35.20
story: they wreck their
car. They walk away with a
00:14:35.40\00:14:39.14
scratch, but
oftentimes people are killed
00:14:39.34\00:14:41.48
or they're maimed or
they have to go through some
00:14:41.68\00:14:43.65
serious rehabilitation
with an occupational therapist.
00:14:43.85\00:14:47.82
Is that right?
What are you seeing?
00:14:48.02\00:14:50.12
Yeah. I work a lot with
patients who have traumatic
00:14:50.32\00:14:53.19
brain injuries, and usually
because of car accidents.
00:14:53.39\00:14:56.62
And they're usually inebriated.
00:14:56.83\00:14:58.39
So all those damaged cells
that you were talking about
00:14:58.69\00:15:01.16
is damaging their brain. So
they have a hard time walking.
00:15:01.36\00:15:04.90
They have blurred
vision, loss of memory.
00:15:05.10\00:15:07.44
Some of them
even have blackouts.
00:15:07.64\00:15:09.24
That's usually what's
causing those car accidents.
00:15:09.44\00:15:11.77
A lot of them are the
young people in their 20's, 30's
00:15:11.97\00:15:14.78
and even...
College age. College age.
00:15:14.98\00:15:16.64
They are the ones that
end up with brain injuries.
00:15:16.85\00:15:19.08
And they usually have to live
at home. They can't function
00:15:19.28\00:15:21.98
as much... can't work.
00:15:22.18\00:15:23.52
And we just have to try
to do out best to get them
00:15:23.59\00:15:25.59
back and rehabilitated
so they can at least be
00:15:25.79\00:15:27.86
independent again.
Wow! So we see that what
00:15:28.06\00:15:31.33
Sickness was sharing with
us wasn't too far off the mark.
00:15:31.53\00:15:34.53
No. You get them started in
college, start drinking there.
00:15:34.73\00:15:38.50
And he said that they will
not really care not only about
00:15:38.70\00:15:42.27
their own health but
even the safety and the health
00:15:42.47\00:15:44.37
of others. Now if
God is a loving God,
00:15:44.57\00:15:48.41
why would He produce something
00:15:48.91\00:15:51.61
that would cause people to
have this kind of behavior?
00:15:51.81\00:15:54.32
Now I know what people
are saying... would say:
00:15:54.48\00:15:55.82
"It should be
done in moderation. "
00:15:55.92\00:15:58.19
That's a good thing
just like the temperance.
00:15:58.39\00:15:59.85
That's right. I believe
it was Oscar Wilde who said:
00:16:00.06\00:16:02.22
"Moderation in all
things including moderation. "
00:16:02.42\00:16:06.90
Very true. I don't even
know what to do with that.
00:16:08.46\00:16:11.30
And a lot of others
have said something similar.
00:16:11.50\00:16:13.20
So we need to look at a clip
here because it's confusing.
00:16:13.44\00:16:16.10
And not only with wine -
and we're going to come back
00:16:16.40\00:16:19.17
to wine - but also
with coffee... caffeine.
00:16:19.37\00:16:22.18
And I have some clips
that we put together that show
00:16:22.38\00:16:24.51
that not even the
experts agree! Ummm!
00:16:24.71\00:16:27.78
So let's take a
look at that clip.
00:16:27.98\00:16:29.52
A new study published this
week shows that the caffeine
00:16:30.79\00:16:33.66
in 3 cups of coffee a day
00:16:33.86\00:16:35.86
may actually help
reduce the risk of Alzheimer's
00:16:36.06\00:16:39.06
and prevent memory loss.
00:16:39.26\00:16:41.33
The headline
is: for men under 55
00:16:41.53\00:16:43.87
more than 4 cups a
day meant a 56% increased
00:16:44.07\00:16:47.64
risk of an early death.
00:16:47.84\00:16:49.47
For women it was 113%.
00:16:49.67\00:16:52.91
Everything in moderation.
Linzie Janis, ABC News.
00:16:53.11\00:16:57.05
Single skim latte. A
new study suggests you
00:16:57.25\00:17:01.55
may want to increase that
shot to a double or even triple
00:17:01.75\00:17:04.89
because coffee may be
the key to a longer life.
00:17:05.19\00:17:07.89
Even a single cup a day could
modestly improve longevity,
00:17:08.09\00:17:10.99
although the report
didn't say by how much.
00:17:11.19\00:17:13.53
So what this study does is gives
a little bit of reassurance
00:17:13.93\00:17:16.60
to us when we're drinking
our coffee in the morning.
00:17:16.80\00:17:18.87
We're a little more assured
that the coffee isn't going to
00:17:19.27\00:17:22.17
have adverse
effects on our health.
00:17:22.37\00:17:24.11
The study shows coffee
drinkers were less likely to
00:17:24.31\00:17:26.37
die from heart disease,
stroke, diabetes, injuries and
00:17:26.57\00:17:29.24
infections than
those who didn't drink it.
00:17:29.44\00:17:31.51
But it's not clear why.
00:17:31.71\00:17:33.15
The authors caution the
results don't outright prove
00:17:33.75\00:17:36.58
coffee has the
power to stave off death.
00:17:36.79\00:17:38.72
And I tell you no one cup
of coffee is going to kill you,
00:17:39.45\00:17:42.12
but the study has
made a lot of people wonder
00:17:42.32\00:17:44.46
if I'm drinking a lot
of coffee day after day
00:17:44.66\00:17:47.00
what's it going to do to me?
00:17:47.20\00:17:48.53
Well, we have
some answers for you.
00:17:48.56\00:17:50.27
Conflicting studies
about coffee and your health
00:17:52.83\00:17:55.27
are brewing up confusion.
00:17:55.47\00:17:57.64
I don't know... is it
good for me? Is it bad?
00:17:57.84\00:18:00.71
I mean: should I
drink it? Should I not?
00:18:00.91\00:18:02.41
I find the information
confusing, but I just drink
00:18:02.61\00:18:06.25
it anyway. Like I
drink like ten cups a day.
00:18:06.45\00:18:09.35
But a recent study says
may be should learn to live
00:18:09.55\00:18:12.15
without it or perhaps
not quite so much of it.
00:18:12.35\00:18:14.69
The study found
that people under age 55
00:18:14.99\00:18:17.66
who drank four
or more cups a day
00:18:17.86\00:18:19.63
were 50% more likely to
die during the course of the
00:18:19.83\00:18:23.23
16-year study. And we're talking
about 8 ounce cups of coffee...
00:18:23.47\00:18:27.24
not the giant drinks that
many people like to order.
00:18:27.44\00:18:29.90
Coffee might hurt you
by increasing your chances
00:18:30.91\00:18:33.38
of getting
gastrointestinal cancer.
00:18:33.58\00:18:35.71
Plus... the stimulant
from coffee with caffeine could
00:18:35.91\00:18:39.05
cause irregular heart rhythms.
BUT... and it's a big BUT...
00:18:39.25\00:18:44.09
several other studies have
found that coffee is actually
00:18:44.45\00:18:47.16
good for you
decreasing the likelihood
00:18:47.36\00:18:49.22
that you'll get
Alzheimer's, type II diabetes,
00:18:49.42\00:18:51.93
and other diseases.
00:18:52.13\00:18:53.50
So what's a java lover to do?
00:18:53.70\00:18:55.50
When you smell coffee you know
it's time to get your day going.
00:18:55.70\00:18:58.87
Some doctors say
you can hedge your bets.
00:18:59.07\00:19:01.57
Mark Twain once said:
"Everything in moderation... "
00:19:01.87\00:19:04.41
Well... you see the confusion.
00:19:05.41\00:19:07.71
It could stave off
Alzheimer's disease.
00:19:08.11\00:19:11.55
It could help with
stroke and heart disease.
00:19:11.75\00:19:14.35
At the same time
those who drink coffee
00:19:14.75\00:19:17.39
they have an early death.
00:19:18.52\00:19:20.66
What's the truth?
00:19:21.02\00:19:22.66
They said themselves that
there's a lot of confusion.
00:19:23.06\00:19:26.43
That's right. Now... where
does this confusion come from?
00:19:26.63\00:19:29.30
And we talked about the
wine and we talked about the
00:19:29.50\00:19:31.07
antioxidants and that.
And we know that coffee also
00:19:31.27\00:19:34.14
is rich in antioxidants.
Um-hmm. So maybe they're
00:19:34.34\00:19:36.57
looking at that but they're
not looking at some other
00:19:36.81\00:19:39.04
more dangerous
effects of it. That's right.
00:19:39.24\00:19:40.78
So there's a mixing
here. There's a mixture.
00:19:40.98\00:19:42.64
And mixing is
giving us confusion.
00:19:42.84\00:19:44.71
What does the Bible say?
Well, we know even in the book
00:19:45.11\00:19:47.15
of Proverbs 23 talks about
do not look at mixed drinks.
00:19:47.35\00:19:50.99
Wine is mixed. And
we talk about this cup.
00:19:51.15\00:19:53.69
And we understand the
Word of God - even in the book
00:19:53.89\00:19:56.46
of Revelation chapter
14 verse 8... 7 and 8...
00:19:56.66\00:19:59.59
there's a church, there's
a woman that's holding a cup.
00:20:00.00\00:20:03.60
That's right. Had
a cup full of wine.
00:20:03.80\00:20:06.10
Roll over to
chapter 16, chapter 17,
00:20:06.30\00:20:08.74
it talks about this
cup is full of abomination.
00:20:08.94\00:20:11.71
Um-hmm. And so
there's a mixture.
00:20:11.91\00:20:13.58
And we find that
even in the Garden of Eden
00:20:13.78\00:20:16.34
Satan gave almost 90%
truth and another 10% error.
00:20:16.54\00:20:21.95
It's a mixture. So
here we have confusion.
00:20:22.15\00:20:24.79
So how do we draw
the conclusion then?
00:20:24.99\00:20:27.09
God is not a God of confusion.
00:20:27.29\00:20:29.26
He's not the
author of confusion.
00:20:29.46\00:20:31.26
In the book of James it tells
us that how can a fountain give
00:20:31.46\00:20:33.70
both sweet and bitter.
00:20:33.90\00:20:35.43
So either God is true or He's a
liar. God said wine is a mocker.
00:20:35.83\00:20:39.23
Coffee is a stimulant...
therefore it's addictive.
00:20:39.83\00:20:43.41
In Proverbs chapter 23
verse 35 it says: "They have
00:20:43.61\00:20:47.18
stricken me. Shall they
say 'And I was not sick?
00:20:47.38\00:20:50.15
They have beaten me
and yet I felt it not.
00:20:50.55\00:20:53.25
When should I wake I will
seek it again'. " And again.
00:20:53.45\00:20:56.35
And so we find
then that confusion.
00:20:56.55\00:20:59.22
Just like in the physical world
there's confusion within...
00:20:59.62\00:21:02.42
among churches today
because there's a mixture
00:21:02.62\00:21:04.83
of truth and error. Wow! Wow!
00:21:05.03\00:21:07.60
Now what was the
text you just gave?
00:21:07.80\00:21:09.23
This here? In Proverbs
chapter 23 and verse 35.
00:21:09.43\00:21:12.57
Proverbs
chapter 23 and verse 35.
00:21:12.77\00:21:15.77
All the texts that we give
you, especially in this program,
00:21:16.17\00:21:18.94
you want to go and you
want to look them up yourself
00:21:19.14\00:21:21.01
and allow the Spirit
of God to show you exactly
00:21:21.21\00:21:26.05
what you need to do and
have a clear understanding
00:21:26.25\00:21:28.78
of these things. So... now...
00:21:28.98\00:21:31.35
I like where you went.
You talked about Adam and Eve
00:21:31.55\00:21:33.56
in the garden - that's
right - that it was a mixture.
00:21:33.76\00:21:36.26
But God told Eve
not to go! Um-hmm.
00:21:36.46\00:21:40.10
I love this. In the
few moments we have left
00:21:40.30\00:21:43.50
let's talk about this and
then let's get back to this
00:21:43.97\00:21:45.43
wine thing. Um-hmm. So God said
00:21:45.63\00:21:48.77
"of all the trees in the
garden you may freely eat, "
00:21:48.97\00:21:52.67
right? So of course they
understood that they weren't
00:21:52.87\00:21:55.91
supposed to eat
and become gluttons.
00:21:56.11\00:21:57.65
But they had access to
all the trees. All the trees.
00:21:57.81\00:22:00.92
But then one specific tree
He said: "You may not eat of
00:22:01.08\00:22:04.52
that tree, for in the day that
you do you shall surely die. "
00:22:04.75\00:22:08.22
Now what was it about
that tree in the garden?
00:22:08.42\00:22:11.59
It had... It was the
tree of the knowledge of
00:22:11.99\00:22:15.76
good and evil.
00:22:16.16\00:22:20.37
So there was a
mixture that made it...
00:22:20.57\00:22:24.11
Was the fruit
evil of that tree? No!
00:22:24.47\00:22:26.91
Was the tree evil? No!
00:22:27.11\00:22:28.51
Perhaps it was who
was at the tree - umm! -
00:22:28.71\00:22:31.08
who knew good and
evil. Who knew good and evil.
00:22:32.38\00:22:34.95
Let's talk about
that for a few moments
00:22:35.85\00:22:37.19
in the time we have left.
00:22:37.22\00:22:38.92
Well, yeah... There's a very
good point in bringing that up.
00:22:39.32\00:22:43.53
The tree itself or the fruit
itself was not what's bad...
00:22:43.73\00:22:46.53
was not what
condemned Eve to die - um-hmm -
00:22:46.73\00:22:49.50
or to death...
the process of death.
00:22:49.70\00:22:52.60
It was the fact that
Satan, who was once the cherub
00:22:52.80\00:22:56.50
in the presence of God
overlooking the most holy place
00:22:56.71\00:23:00.78
where God dwells,
knew the goodness of God.
00:23:00.98\00:23:04.28
And then
iniquity was found in him.
00:23:04.48\00:23:06.92
Now he had knowledge
of both good and evil
00:23:07.22\00:23:11.22
and he used it just like
he uses it now for all of us.
00:23:11.42\00:23:14.66
He gives you truth
with just sprinkled...
00:23:15.06\00:23:17.93
Like these?
Like this... exactly!
00:23:18.13\00:23:20.70
The premise is... If
there is, for example, arsenic:
00:23:20.90\00:23:24.17
if you put a drop
in a glass of water...
00:23:24.33\00:23:27.24
How much of a
drop? Hah... just a drop.
00:23:27.44\00:23:28.90
One drop. One
drop... in how much water?
00:23:29.10\00:23:31.07
In a cup of
water. A cup of water.
00:23:31.27\00:23:33.48
In a cup of water.
Arsenic is odorless;
00:23:33.68\00:23:35.81
it's tasteless; it's colorless.
00:23:36.01\00:23:39.21
You can't tell that
it's in the water. However,
00:23:39.41\00:23:41.22
it will kill you.
Wow! It WILL kill you.
00:23:41.42\00:23:44.69
Mixture of truth and error.
00:23:44.89\00:23:47.46
Satan himself, Garden of Eden.
Matthew 4 in the wilderness
00:23:47.66\00:23:52.19
of temptation
Satan quoted scripture.
00:23:52.39\00:23:54.73
Psalm 91. Um-hmm. Left
out part of the scripture.
00:23:54.93\00:23:58.07
So it's always a
mixture of truth and error.
00:23:58.27\00:24:00.17
In the book of II
Thessalonians chapter 2
00:24:00.37\00:24:03.61
it talks about when we
don't have a love for the truth
00:24:03.81\00:24:06.81
we will believe a lie.
00:24:07.01\00:24:08.54
We find that people are
confused. To know the truth
00:24:08.84\00:24:11.91
will prevent us
from accepting a lie.
00:24:12.11\00:24:14.52
To know the truth
about temperance and wine
00:24:14.72\00:24:18.12
will set us free. Otherwise, we
will set ourselves up believing
00:24:18.32\00:24:22.02
that a little wine
is good for the heart.
00:24:22.22\00:24:25.76
Or a little wine
"never hurt nobody"
00:24:25.96\00:24:28.26
as we heard at the
beginning. That's right. But
00:24:28.46\00:24:30.00
a little arsenic can kill
you. So this mixing, this mixer
00:24:30.20\00:24:35.07
is the problem. Is the
problem. The confusion...
00:24:35.27\00:24:38.34
the confusion.
You've heard the confusion.
00:24:38.54\00:24:41.01
We've tried to just stick
with what the Word of God says.
00:24:41.21\00:24:43.98
And I think that you have
seen from what we have shown
00:24:44.28\00:24:47.05
that it is a clear, clear
mandate from the Word of God
00:24:47.25\00:24:51.72
that we are to take the
wine not when it's fermented but
00:24:51.92\00:24:56.56
from the cluster.
That's when it's good!
00:24:56.76\00:24:59.16
So we don't want to
mix truth and error.
00:24:59.36\00:25:01.33
We just want the truth.
You've heard it here today.
00:25:01.53\00:25:03.57
We look forward to
seeing you on another program.
00:25:03.77\00:25:05.83
The Bible says in Ephesians 6:12
00:25:08.47\00:25:11.34
"For we wrestle not
against flesh and blood
00:25:11.74\00:25:13.98
but against
principalities, against powers,
00:25:14.18\00:25:16.04
against the rulers of
darkness of this world,
00:25:16.24\00:25:18.81
against spiritual
wickedness in high places. "
00:25:19.01\00:25:22.25
There is a concerted
effort to capture the youth
00:25:22.45\00:25:26.22
and begin to take them
down a path of destruction
00:25:26.42\00:25:30.03
so that when they're adults
00:25:30.43\00:25:32.36
their behaviors
destroy the entire family.
00:25:32.56\00:25:35.93
I know this personally
since I saw it growing up
00:25:36.13\00:25:39.80
as it happened to my father
and the impact almost destroyed
00:25:40.24\00:25:44.04
our family. But
the Lord promised
00:25:44.24\00:25:46.34
in Psalm 103 verse 3 and 4
00:25:46.54\00:25:49.78
that He'll forgive
us, heal our diseases,
00:25:49.98\00:25:53.05
and redeem us from destruction.
00:25:53.25\00:25:55.75
We learned today that
drinking - even socially -
00:25:56.15\00:25:59.05
could lead to addiction,
sickness, and disease.
00:25:59.25\00:26:03.46
You know, Rico, you
and your guests have made a
00:26:04.39\00:26:08.26
compelling argument
against social drinking.
00:26:08.46\00:26:10.77
Like King Agrippa, you
almost persuade me to stop.
00:26:11.00\00:26:14.27
Wow, really? NOT!
It went in one blue ear
00:26:15.24\00:26:18.61
and out the other just
like all these viewers.
00:26:18.81\00:26:21.54
Because you know why?
They want to enjoy life.
00:26:21.74\00:26:23.55
They want to have fun.
They want to enjoy a little buzz
00:26:23.75\00:26:26.55
because it makes life better.
And so what if there's lifestyle
00:26:26.75\00:26:30.09
diseases and liver problems
and other things along the way.
00:26:30.29\00:26:33.76
The idea is
living for the moment.
00:26:34.06\00:26:36.29
You know, if you control
the moment you control the mind.
00:26:36.49\00:26:39.59
And if you control the
mind you control everything.
00:26:40.00\00:26:43.77
Hmmm. Well listen, friends,
00:26:43.97\00:26:47.07
we are truly in a battle
for the minds of our children,
00:26:47.27\00:26:50.51
the health of our bodies,
and the peace and happiness
00:26:50.71\00:26:53.51
of our families. Remember
that we don't wrestle with
00:26:53.71\00:26:57.65
a liquid or a TV ad or even
the people who produce them.
00:26:58.01\00:27:02.75
And this bears repeating;
00:27:03.05\00:27:04.69
"We wrestle not
against flesh and blood
00:27:04.89\00:27:07.49
but against
principalities, against powers,
00:27:07.69\00:27:09.92
against the rulers of
the darkness of this world,
00:27:10.13\00:27:12.69
against spiritual
wickedness in high places. "
00:27:12.89\00:27:15.83
But we have a Savior, and
He has promised to redeem us
00:27:16.03\00:27:20.14
from the hand of the
enemy. I'm a redeemed witness
00:27:20.34\00:27:24.57
and I'm saying so. "Beloved,
00:27:24.77\00:27:28.38
I wish above all things
that thou mayest prosper
00:27:28.58\00:27:30.55
and be in
health. " I'm Rico Hill;
00:27:30.75\00:27:33.42
I'm Sickness. Maranatha.
00:27:33.82\00:27:36.99
