00:00:00.10\00:00:03.13
>> ABOUT 20 YEARS AGO, JOE
RICHARDSON WAS FISHING IN SAM
00:00:05.60\00:00:09.56
RAYBURN LAKE NEAR BUNA, TEXAS
AND HIS CLASS RING FELL OUT OF
00:00:09.56\00:00:14.30
THE BOAT AND SANK TO
THE BOTTOM OF THE LAKE.
00:00:14.30\00:00:17.36
20 YEARS LATER --
ACTUALLY, IT WAS IN 2008;
00:00:17.36\00:00:21.46
RIGHT AROUND THANKSGIVING
-- HE GOT A STRANGE PHONE CALL.
00:00:21.46\00:00:24.63
TURNS OUT THAT THREE MARINES
THAT WERE ON VACATION WERE OUT
00:00:24.63\00:00:28.23
FISHING ON THE LAKE AND
THEY CAUGHT AN EIGHT-POUND BASS.
00:00:28.23\00:00:32.76
WHEN THEY GOT THE BASS INTO THE
BOAT, OUT OF ITS MOUTH FELL A
00:00:32.76\00:00:36.33
RING.
00:00:36.33\00:00:37.76
WELL, IT WASN'T VERY PLEASANT,
SO THEY TOOK SOME WD-40 AND
00:00:37.76\00:00:42.46
INSECT REPELLANT AND SCRUBBED
THE RING, AND PRETTY SOON THEY
00:00:42.46\00:00:46.26
SAW WHAT IT WAS AND THEY
SAW A NAME ETCHED INSIDE: JOE
00:00:46.26\00:00:49.53
RICHARDSON.
00:00:49.53\00:00:51.13
ONE OF THEM HAD HIS iPHONE.
00:00:51.13\00:00:52.16
HE GOT OUT AND HE CALLED THE
LOCAL JOE RICHARDSONS JUST FOR
00:00:52.16\00:00:54.56
FUN.
00:00:54.56\00:00:55.90
WHEN HE GOT TO THE FOURTH PHONE
CALL, HE FOUND THE OWNER OF THE
00:00:55.90\00:00:59.53
RING, WHO
THOUGHT IT WAS A PRANK.
00:00:59.53\00:01:02.16
TURNS OUT THAT
THAT WAS HIS RING.
00:01:02.16\00:01:04.46
SOLDIERS MET HIM AND HIS WIFE
AT DAIRY QUEEN AND HE WAS AMAZED
00:01:04.46\00:01:08.63
THAT THIS RING HAD BEEN FOUND --
WHO KNOWS HOW MANY FISH IT WENT
00:01:08.63\00:01:12.20
THROUGH -- 20 YEARS LATER.
00:01:12.20\00:01:15.53
YOU KNOW, YOU READ IN THE BIBLE
WHERE JESUS TELLS PETER, "I WANT
00:01:15.53\00:01:18.76
YOU TO GO FISHING.
00:01:18.76\00:01:20.03
AND YOU'RE GONNA CATCH A FISH
AND YOU'LL FIND MONEY IN ITS
00:01:20.03\00:01:22.66
MOUTH."
00:01:22.66\00:01:23.93
SOME PEOPLE THINK
THAT THAT'S A FABLE.

>> DEAR HEAVENLY FATHER, WE
THANK YOU FOR THIS SERIES OF
00:06:46.10\00:06:48.80
MEETINGS.
00:06:48.80\00:06:49.93
FATHER, WE PRAY THAT YOU WILL
BLESS THESE MEETINGS, THAT YOU
00:06:49.93\00:06:53.20
WILL BLESS THE MESSAGE TONIGHT.
00:06:53.20\00:06:55.40
AND FATHER, WE PRAY THAT YOUR
HOLY SPIRIT WILL BE POURED OUT.
00:06:55.40\00:06:59.03
FATHER, MAY OUR EARS
BE OPENED AND RECEPTIVE.
00:06:59.03\00:07:02.40
IN YOUR NAME, AMEN.
00:07:02.40\00:07:03.90
? ? >> WELL,
PASTOR DOUG, IT'S TIME
00:07:04.86\00:07:14.53
FOR QUESTIONS.
00:07:14.53\00:07:16.10
>> AMEN.
00:07:16.10\00:07:16.70
EVENING EVERYONE.
00:07:16.70\00:07:17.93
>> AUDIENCE: GOOD EVENING.
00:07:17.93\00:07:19.13
>> GOOD TO SEE YOU ALL HERE.
00:07:19.13\00:07:20.56
>> YOU KNOW I WAS JUST
THINKING, BEFORE WE GET INTO THE
00:07:20.56\00:07:22.60
QUESTIONS, WE'VE DONE A NUMBER
OF THESE PROGRAMS BEFORE, AND
00:07:22.60\00:07:25.53
ONE OF THE HIGHLIGHTS, AS WE GET
FEEDBACK, IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO
00:07:25.53\00:07:29.26
HAVE QUESTIONS ANSWERED.
00:07:29.26\00:07:30.73
AND OF COURSE, THIS IS
MOST IMPORTANT QUESTIONS.
00:07:30.73\00:07:33.06
SO WE'RE GONNA TRY TO GET TO
AS MANY QUESTIONS THAT THE FOLKS
00:07:33.06\00:07:36.10
WHO ARE WATCHING, AND THOSE IN
THE AUDIENCE, WE WANNA TRY AND
00:07:36.10\00:07:39.10
DEAL WITH AS MANY
QUESTIONS AS POSSIBLE.
00:07:39.10\00:07:41.13
>> ALRIGHT.
00:07:41.13\00:07:42.20
>> WELL, LET'S GET GOING.
00:07:42.20\00:07:43.46
ALL RIGHT, WE'LL GET GOING.
00:07:43.46\00:07:44.43
WELL, THE FIRST QUESTION THAT
WE HAVE THIS EVENING IS A VIDEO
00:07:44.43\00:07:46.53
QUESTION.
00:07:46.53\00:07:47.20
I THINK WE'RE READY TO
ROLL THAT AT THIS POINT.
00:07:47.20\00:07:49.76
>> HI, MY NAME'S JORDAN.
00:07:52.70\00:07:54.50
AND MY QUESTION IS, HOW DO
WE KNOW THAT WHEN THE BIBLE IS
00:07:54.50\00:07:57.33
TRANSLATED INTO ALL THE
DIFFERENT TRANSLATIONS, NOTHING
00:07:57.33\00:07:59.96
IMPORTANT AND SIGNIFICANT
WAS LOST IN THE BIBLE?
00:07:59.96\00:08:03.03
>> GOOD QUESTION.
00:08:07.03\00:08:08.60
NOW THIS IS A DIFFICULT
QUESTION TO ANSWER WELL QUICKLY.
00:08:08.60\00:08:14.73
FIRST OF ALL, TRANSLATIONS
ARE DIFFERENT FROM THE ORIGINAL
00:08:14.73\00:08:17.40
TEXT.
00:08:17.40\00:08:18.36
JUST IN ENGLISH, THERE
ARE HUNDREDS OF TRANSLATIONS.
00:08:18.36\00:08:21.43
I COULD, HEAVEN FORBID, HAVE
ONE CALLED THE BATCHELOR BIBLE.
00:08:21.43\00:08:24.80
AND ANYONE CAN TAKE SOME OF THE
ORIGINAL GREEK AND HEBREW AND
00:08:24.80\00:08:27.90
ARAMAIC AND MAKE THEIR OWN
TRANSLATION IF YOU SPEAK THOSE
00:08:27.90\00:08:31.20
LANGUAGES INTO ANOTHER LANGUAGE.
00:08:31.20\00:08:33.33
I GUESS THE BIG QUESTION IS NOT
ONLY -- BECAUSE THERE ARE SOME
00:08:33.33\00:08:36.56
TRANSLATIONS BETTER THAN OTHERS.
00:08:36.56\00:08:38.83
BUT HOW DO WE KNOW THAT
THE ORIGINAL TEXT CAN BE
00:08:38.83\00:08:42.93
TRUSTWORTHY?
00:08:42.93\00:08:44.56
YOU KNOW, THE ONE THING
THAT COMES TO ME IS THE DEAD SEA
00:08:44.56\00:08:48.26
SCROLLS WERE ONE OF THE
MOST INCREDIBLE FINDS OF MODERN
00:08:48.26\00:08:53.36
HISTORY.
00:08:53.36\00:08:54.63
THERE WAS A YOUNG BOY WATCHING
GOATS, 1948, AND LOOKING FOR
00:08:54.63\00:09:00.80
SOME STRAY GOATS,
THROWING ROCKS AS BOYS DO.
00:09:00.80\00:09:03.23
HE THREW A ROCK NOT FAR FROM
EIN GEDI DOWN BY THE DEAD SEA
00:09:03.23\00:09:07.00
UP IN WHAT HE THOUGHT WAS JUST
AN EMPTY CAVE UP ON A LEDGE, AND
00:09:07.00\00:09:10.06
HE HEARD A
CRASHING SOUND OF POTTERY.
00:09:10.06\00:09:12.63
AND ON INVESTIGATION THEY FOUND
THESE BOWLS THAT WERE FILLED
00:09:12.63\00:09:16.00
WITH ALL THESE ANCIENT SCROLLS.
00:09:16.00\00:09:18.50
WELL, EVENTUALLY THEY FOUND OUT,
AFTER THEY TORE SOME OF THEM UP
00:09:18.50\00:09:21.06
AND SOLD THEM TO ANTIQUE
DEALERS, THAT THEY WERE COPIES
00:09:21.06\00:09:24.96
THAT WERE LIKE 2,000 YEARS OLD
OF THE BIBLE, THE SCRIPTURES.
00:09:24.96\00:09:29.60
WELL, NOW THEY'RE HOUSED IN A
MUSEUM CALLED THE SCROLL OF THE
00:09:29.60\00:09:32.60
BOOK MUSEUM IN ISRAEL.
00:09:32.60\00:09:35.60
I'VE BEEN THERE
A COUPLE OF TIMES.
00:09:35.60\00:09:37.36
IT'S UNDER THREE FEET OF
REINFORCED CONCRETE TO AVOID A
00:09:37.36\00:09:39.76
TERRORIST ATTACK BECAUSE IT'S
THE GREATEST TREASURE THAT THE
00:09:39.76\00:09:43.40
JEWISH NATION
HAS: THEIR SCRIPTURES.
00:09:43.40\00:09:46.70
NOW, I KNOW MY
BIBLE PRETTY WELL.
00:09:46.70\00:09:49.13
AND WHEN I WENT TO THAT MUSEUM
I HAD A GUIDE THAT WAS VERY WELL
00:09:49.13\00:09:53.23
TRAINED TO BE A
TOUR GUIDE THERE.
00:09:53.23\00:09:55.30
THEY HAVE A LOT
OF THOROUGH TRAINING.
00:09:55.30\00:09:57.13
AND WE WENT UP TO THE ISAIAH
SCROLL, AND I JUST PICKED A
00:09:57.13\00:10:00.20
PLACE ON THE SCROLL, AND
I SAID, "CAN YOU READ THAT?"
00:10:00.20\00:10:03.23
AND HE SAID, "WELL, IT'S
LIKE YOU AND I READING VERY OLD
00:10:03.23\00:10:05.80
ENGLISH."
00:10:05.80\00:10:07.13
HE SAYS, "I CAN."
00:10:07.13\00:10:08.13
AND SO I PICKED A
PLACE ON THE SCROLL.
00:10:08.13\00:10:09.80
I SAID, "READ THAT TO ME."
00:10:09.80\00:10:11.20
AND HE STARTED TO READ THE STORY
OF HEZEKIAH AND SENNACHERIB
00:10:11.20\00:10:15.03
AND WHAT HAPPENS
THERE IN THE BIBLE.
00:10:15.03\00:10:17.40
AND IT WAS JUST
LIKE OUR BIBLE TODAY.
00:10:17.40\00:10:20.40
AND SO I THINK WITH GREAT
CONFIDENCE, WE CAN KNOW THAT
00:10:20.40\00:10:23.66
EVEN OVER THE LAST 2,000 YEARS
THAT GOD HAS DONE SOMETHING
00:10:23.66\00:10:27.83
MIRACULOUS TO PRESERVE THE
INTEGRITY AND ACCURACY OF THE
00:10:27.83\00:10:32.00
SCRIPTURES.
00:10:32.00\00:10:32.90
SO YES, THE BIBLES THAT WE HAVE
ARE ACCURATE REFLECTIONS OF THE
00:10:32.90\00:10:36.50
ORIGINAL MESSAGE.
00:10:36.50\00:10:38.16
>> AMEN.
00:10:38.16\00:10:39.16
WELL, THAT WAS AN
IMPORTANT QUESTION.
00:10:39.16\00:10:40.80
OUR NEXT QUESTION IS A TEXT
QUESTION AND WE'LL PUT THAT UP
00:10:40.80\00:10:42.83
ON THE SCREEN.
00:10:42.83\00:10:44.26
? ?
00:10:44.26\00:10:46.03
>> WELL, FIRST OF ALL, I THINK
THE LORD HAS PLANTED ETERNITY IN
00:10:53.36\00:10:56.36
EVERYBODY'S HEARTS.
00:10:56.36\00:10:58.40
AND THERE'S SOMETHING WITHIN
US THAT FEELS A YEARNING THAT'S
00:10:58.40\00:11:01.30
NEVER SATISFIED WITHOUT GOD.
00:11:01.30\00:11:03.13
VERY QUICKLY, WE
ARE ALL SIN-O-HOLICS.
00:11:03.13\00:11:07.30
WE'RE ALL ADDICTED.
00:11:07.30\00:11:08.93
WE'RE ALL SELFISH, AND
THAT'S WHERE SIN COMES FROM.
00:11:08.93\00:11:11.90
AND WE'RE LOOKING
FOR SOMETHING TO SATISFY.
00:11:11.90\00:11:15.16
AND IT'S THROUGH A RELATIONSHIP
WITH THE LORD THAT WE ULTIMATELY
00:11:15.16\00:11:18.70
FIND THAT SATISFACTION.
00:11:18.70\00:11:20.70
NOW, YOU DEVELOP A
TASTE FOR WHAT YOU EAT.
00:11:20.70\00:11:25.30
AND WHENEVER I GO TO INDIA, THEY
EAT A LOT OF CURRY AND THEY LIKE
00:11:25.30\00:11:28.80
CURRY.
00:11:28.80\00:11:29.50
YOU KNOW WHY THEY LIKE CURRY?
00:11:29.50\00:11:30.36
BECAUSE THEY EAT A LOT OF CURRY.
00:11:30.36\00:11:32.20
AND WHEN YOU GO TO
CHINA, THEY EAT A LOT OF RICE.
00:11:32.20\00:11:34.13
YOU KNOW WHY THEY LIKE RICE?
00:11:34.13\00:11:35.10
THEY EAT A LOT OF RICE.
00:11:35.10\00:11:36.56
YOU'LL DEVELOP AN
APPETITE FOR WHAT YOU EAT.
00:11:36.56\00:11:39.36
YOUR APPETITE AND DESIRE FOR
GOD WILL GROW AS YOU PRIME IT
00:11:39.36\00:11:45.60
BY TURNING TO THE BIBLE.
00:11:45.60\00:11:47.70
TRY IT AND YOU'LL
DEVELOP A LIKE FOR IT.
00:11:47.70\00:11:50.33
>> I THINK OUR NEXT QUESTION
IS ANOTHER VIDEO QUESTION.
00:11:50.33\00:11:52.83
AND WE'LL ROLL
THAT AT THIS TIME.
00:11:52.83\00:11:55.50
>> HI, MY NAME'S
ABREE [PHONETIC], AND MY
00:11:59.63\00:12:01.50
QUESTION IS, HOW DO WE
KNOW THE BIBLE IS REAL?
00:12:01.50\00:12:04.10
>> GOOD QUESTION.
00:12:07.56\00:12:08.56
HOW DO YOU KNOW
THAT THE BIBLE IS REAL?
00:12:08.56\00:12:10.93
HOW DO WE KNOW THAT IT'S
NOT A FAIRYTALE OR A FANTASY?
00:12:10.93\00:12:14.30
THESE ARE VERY
IMPORTANT QUESTIONS.
00:12:14.30\00:12:16.23
WELL, FIRST OF ALL,
YOU'VE GOT EVIDENCE.
00:12:16.23\00:12:18.93
I DON'T JUST BELIEVE THE BIBLE
BECAUSE SOMEBODY TOOK ME AND
00:12:18.93\00:12:21.26
SHOOK ME AND SAID, "THIS IS THE
BIBLE, IT'S THE WORD OF GOD, YOU
00:12:21.26\00:12:23.43
NEED TO BELIEVE
IT," AND I SAID, "OKAY."
00:12:23.43\00:12:25.96
I WAS SKEPTICAL.
00:12:25.96\00:12:27.16
I WANTED EVIDENCE UPON
WHICH TO BASE MY FAITH.
00:12:27.16\00:12:30.66
YOU'VE GOT THE
EVIDENCE OF HISTORY.
00:12:30.66\00:12:33.03
YOU'VE GOT THE EVIDENCE
OF HOW IT TRANSFORMS LIVES.
00:12:33.03\00:12:36.53
BY THE WAY, SOME OF THESE
ANSWERS TO THAT GOOD QUESTION
00:12:36.53\00:12:39.06
ARE GONNA BE IN OUR
PRESENTATION TONIGHT.
00:12:39.06\00:12:41.96
YOU GOT THE EVIDENCE OF HOW
IT IS SUPPORTED SCIENTIFICALLY.
00:12:41.96\00:12:46.06
AND YOU'VE GOT THE TESTIMONY
OF GREAT PEOPLE THROUGH HISTORY
00:12:46.06\00:12:50.53
THAT HAVE SUPPORTED IT.
00:12:50.53\00:12:52.70
AND OVER 1,500 YEARS, 40
DIFFERENT AUTHORS RANGING FROM
00:12:52.70\00:12:59.03
FISHERMEN TO SHEPHERDS TO KINGS
TO PRIESTS, ALL PARTICIPATED IN
00:12:59.03\00:13:04.90
CONTRIBUTING TO
THIS SACRED BOOK.
00:13:04.90\00:13:07.43
AND YET IN SPITE OF THE
SPAN OF TIME, WRITTEN ON THREE
00:13:07.43\00:13:10.06
CONTINENTS, OVER ALL THAT
TIME AND ALL THAT DIVERSITY OF
00:13:10.06\00:13:14.30
PEOPLE, THERE IS A
COHESIVENESS IN THE MESSAGE.
00:13:14.30\00:13:18.23
AND IT'S JUST REALLY
STOOD THE TEST OF TIME.
00:13:18.23\00:13:20.23
SO THERE'S A LOT OF EVIDENCE.
00:13:20.23\00:13:21.13
WE'RE GONNA LOOK MORE AT
THAT IN TONIGHT'S PRESENTATION.
00:13:21.13\00:13:24.10
>> WELL, PASTOR DOUG, I THINK
WE HAVE ANOTHER TEXT QUESTION AT
00:13:24.10\00:13:26.80
THIS TIME.
00:13:26.80\00:13:28.26
? ?
00:13:28.26\00:13:32.93
>> WELL, WHEN YOU SAY, "HEAR
HIM," GOD DOES AUDIBLY SPEAK TO
00:13:40.06\00:13:44.66
SOME INDIVIDUALS ON
OCCASION, BUT THAT'S A MIRACLE.
00:13:44.66\00:13:48.33
IT'S A RARE
EXCEPTION, BUT IT DOES HAPPEN.
00:13:48.33\00:13:51.43
I HAVE HEARD THE LORD SPEAK TO
ME IN WAYS I THOUGHT WERE VERY
00:13:51.43\00:13:55.56
POWERFUL.
00:13:55.56\00:13:57.13
SOMETIMES I WONDERED IF I
WAS ACTUALLY HEARING HIS VOICE
00:13:57.13\00:13:59.13
BECAUSE IT SEEMED SO REAL, BUT
PROBABLY IT WAS JUST IN MY MIND
00:13:59.13\00:14:02.70
AND IN MY HEART.
00:14:02.70\00:14:04.30
BUT IN THE BIBLE, GOD DID
AUDIBLY SPEAK TO A NUMBER OF
00:14:04.30\00:14:06.80
INDIVIDUALS, SUCH AS SAMUEL THE
PROPHET AND MOSES AND ABRAHAM
00:14:06.80\00:14:10.36
AND OTHERS I COULD NAME.
00:14:10.36\00:14:12.80
TYPICALLY, THE LORD
SPEAKS TO US THROUGH HIS WORD.
00:14:12.80\00:14:16.40
HE SPEAKS TO US SOMETIMES
VERY LOUDLY THROUGH PROVIDENCE.
00:14:16.40\00:14:19.96
HE SPEAKS TO US THROUGH NATURE.
00:14:19.96\00:14:23.66
BUT GOD DOES STILL SPEAK
IN A VERY VIVID WAY TO PEOPLE.
00:14:23.66\00:14:27.10
AND HE SPEAKS TO US MOSTLY
THROUGH THE HOLY SPIRIT COMBINED
00:14:27.10\00:14:32.33
WITH HIS WORD.
00:14:32.33\00:14:33.23
WORD FIRST.
00:14:33.23\00:14:34.53
>> WELL, I THINK, PASTOR DOUG,
THAT'S THE TIME THAT WE HAVE
00:14:34.53\00:14:36.23
ALLOTTED FOR
QUESTIONS AT THIS POINT.
00:14:36.23\00:14:38.20
WE MIGHT BE GETTING
SOME TEXT QUESTIONS.
00:14:38.20\00:14:40.16
>> I THINK WE HAVE TIME
FOR ONE MORE VIDEO QUESTION.
00:14:40.16\00:14:42.30
>> LET'S PUT THAT IN
NOW: THE VIDEO QUESTION.
00:14:42.30\00:14:44.93
>> HELLO, MY NAME IS ANDREW AND
MY QUESTION IS, HOW COME THE OLD
00:14:47.36\00:14:49.96
AND NEW TESTAMENTS HAVE
SUCH DIFFERENT FEELS TO THEM?
00:14:49.96\00:14:52.43
THE OLD TESTAMENT IS ALL ABOUT
GOD'S JUDGMENT, GOD'S WRATH,
00:14:52.43\00:14:55.36
GOD'S DESTRUCTION, AND THE NEW
TESTAMENT IS ALL ABOUT LOVE AND
00:14:55.36\00:14:58.06
GRACE.
00:14:58.06\00:14:58.63
HOW COME THE BIG SWITCH?
00:14:58.63\00:15:00.30
>> I'M GLAD WE
INCLUDED THAT QUESTION.
00:15:04.56\00:15:07.10
THAT I THINK IS A COMMON
FEELING THAT SOME PEOPLE HAVE.
00:15:07.10\00:15:10.16
OLD TESTAMENT,
THERE'S A LOVING GOD.
00:15:10.16\00:15:12.73
I'M SORRY, OLD TESTAMENT:
WRATHFUL GOD, JUDGMENTS, WAR,
00:15:12.73\00:15:16.53
DEATH.
00:15:16.53\00:15:17.70
NEW TESTAMENT: JESUS,
LITTLE CHILDREN, LOVE, BLESSING.
00:15:17.70\00:15:22.20
YOU KNOW, THAT'S REALLY A MYTH.
00:15:22.20\00:15:24.90
YOU KNOW WHERE YOU FIND THE MOST
FEARFUL PLAGUES AND CURSES IN
00:15:24.90\00:15:27.73
THE BIBLE?
00:15:27.73\00:15:29.46
READ REVELATION 14: "IF ANY MANY
RECEIVES THE MARK OF THE BEAST
00:15:29.46\00:15:32.63
AND WORSHIPS HIS IMAGE, THE
WINE OF GOD'S WRATH IS GONNA BE
00:15:32.63\00:15:35.60
POURED OUT WITHOUT INDIGNATION
INTO THE CUP UNMINGLED WITH
00:15:35.60\00:15:39.30
MERCY."
00:15:39.30\00:15:40.26
AND IT'S JUST REALLY SCARY.
00:15:40.26\00:15:41.16
YOU LOOK AT THE PLAGUES, BLOOD
AND HEAT AND NOISOME SOARS.
00:15:41.16\00:15:46.70
IT'S THE NEW TESTAMENT.
00:15:46.70\00:15:48.50
PAUL PRONOUNCES A CURSE ON
ANYONE WHO ALTERS THE GOSPEL.
00:15:48.50\00:15:52.40
YOU KNOW, EVEN THE GREATEST
TORTURE THAT YOU FIND IN THE
00:15:52.40\00:15:56.40
BIBLE HAPPENS IN THE
NEW TESTAMENT TO JESUS.
00:15:56.40\00:16:00.76
THE OLD TESTAMENT DOES RECORD
WARS AND THINGS LIKE THAT, BUT
00:16:00.76\00:16:03.73
IT'S ALSO IN THE OLD TESTAMENT
WHERE IT FIRST SAYS "LOVE YOUR
00:16:03.73\00:16:06.76
NEIGHBOR.
00:16:06.76\00:16:08.16
"LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD
WITH ALL OF YOUR HEART."
00:16:08.16\00:16:10.83
OUR GOD IS A COMPASSIONATE GOD.
00:16:10.83\00:16:13.36
"IF YOU'LL SEARCH FOR ME WITH
ALL OF YOUR HEART, YOU'LL FIND
00:16:13.36\00:16:15.80
ME."
00:16:15.80\00:16:16.66
YOU FIND SO MANY WONDERFUL
-- "THE LORD IS MY SHEPHERD."
00:16:16.66\00:16:20.90
AND SO IT DEPENDS ON
WHAT SECTIONS YOU'RE READING.
00:16:20.90\00:16:24.00
BUT REALLY, THE MESSAGE BETWEEN
THE NEW AND THE OLD TESTAMENT IS
00:16:24.00\00:16:26.73
VERY UNIFORM.
00:16:26.73\00:16:28.00
TEN PERCENT OF EVERYTHING
JESUS SAID, HE'S QUOTING THE OLD
00:16:28.00\00:16:31.26
TESTAMENT.
00:16:31.26\00:16:32.66
SO JESUS WAS VERY MUCH
AN OLD TESTAMENT CHARACTER.
00:16:32.66\00:16:36.26
AND JESUS APPEARS IN THE
OLD TESTAMENT IN MANY WAYS.
00:16:36.26\00:16:40.06
AND MAYBE WE'LL HAVE
TIME TO TALK ABOUT THAT LATER.
00:16:40.06\00:16:42.83
>> ALL RIGHT.
00:16:42.83\00:16:43.50
WELL, THANK YOU, PASTOR DOUG.
00:16:43.50\00:16:44.43
AGAIN, FRIENDS, IF YOU HAVE A
BIBLE QUESTION, YOU CAN GO AHEAD
00:16:44.43\00:16:46.76
AND SEND US A TEXT MESSAGE.
00:16:46.76\00:16:48.43
THE NUMBER FOR TEXTING
YOUR BIBLE QUESTION IS...
00:16:48.43\00:16:51.06
760-5-AFACTS.
00:16:51.06\00:16:54.26
THAT'S 760-523-2278.
00:16:54.30\00:16:59.20
>> OFF-SCREEN: 8-7!
00:16:59.20\00:17:00.10
>> 8-7.
00:17:00.10\00:17:00.76
2-2-8-7, THANK YOU.
00:17:00.76\00:17:02.33
AND WE'LL TRY TO GET AS MANY
00:17:02.33\00:17:03.43
QUESTIONS AS WE
CAN ON THE PROGRAM.
00:17:03.46\00:17:06.26
WELL, WITH THAT, PASTOR DOUG,
WE'LL TURN THE TIME OVER TO YOU.
00:17:06.26\00:17:08.23
>> THANK YOU VERY
MUCH, PASTOR ROSS.
00:17:08.23\00:17:09.66
IT WOULD SEEM FAIR TO ME THAT IF
YOU GET 90% OF THE TEXT NUMBERS
00:17:09.66\00:17:12.16
RIGHT, IT STILL
OUGHT TO WORK, RIGHT?
00:17:12.16\00:17:14.56
DOESN'T WORK THAT WAY.
00:17:14.56\00:17:16.00
WE'RE GOING TO GET INTO OUR
PRESENTATION FOR TONIGHT RIGHT
00:17:16.00\00:17:18.76
AWAY.
00:17:18.76\00:17:20.03
AND IT'S DEALING WITH
THE SUBJECT, "CAN I TRUST THE
00:17:20.03\00:17:23.16
BIBLE?"
00:17:23.16\00:17:24.40
THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST
IMPORTANT PRESENTATIONS, BECAUSE
00:17:24.40\00:17:26.60
IT'S REALLY FOUNDATIONAL TO ALL
THE OTHER BIG QUESTIONS ABOUT
00:17:26.60\00:17:30.60
GOD...
00:17:30.60\00:17:31.80
ABOUT LIFE AND EVOLUTION
AND CREATION AND OUR BODIES AND
00:17:31.80\00:17:35.00
GOD'S WILL FOR US.
00:17:35.00\00:17:36.66
THE BIBLE IS THE
FOUNDATION FOR ALL OF THIS.
00:17:36.66\00:17:39.93
SO UNDERSTANDING THIS SUBJECT
AND THE IMPORTANCE OF THE BIBLE
00:17:39.93\00:17:44.00
IS GONNA WEIGH VERY HEAVILY ON
GIVING DIRECTION TO EVERYTHING
00:17:44.00\00:17:47.40
ELSE WE'RE
PRESENTING DURING THIS EVENT.
00:17:47.40\00:17:50.16
QUESTION NUMBER
ONE IN THE LESSON...
00:17:50.16\00:17:52.73
NOW, I USED TO BELIEVE THAT.
00:18:01.06\00:18:02.73
THAT'S WHAT I WAS TAUGHT GROWING
UP: THAT THE BIBLE WAS A FAIRY
00:18:02.73\00:18:05.13
TALE.
00:18:05.13\00:18:06.43
GOING TO THE BIBLE, WHAT
DOES IT SAY ABOUT ITSELF?
00:18:06.43\00:18:10.13
2 TIMOTHY 3:16...
00:18:10.13\00:18:12.00
"ALL SCRIPTURE" -- HOW MUCH?
00:18:12.00\00:18:14.40
"ALL SCRIPTURE" -- BY
THE WAY, WHEN TIMOTHY WROTE
00:18:14.40\00:18:16.16
THIS, WAS THERE A
NEW TESTAMENT YET?
00:18:16.16\00:18:18.90
NO.
00:18:18.90\00:18:19.56
SO WHEN PAUL WRITES THIS
IN TIMOTHY, HE'S PRINCIPALLY
00:18:19.56\00:18:22.73
SPEAKING OF THE OLD TESTAMENT,
BUT OF COURSE, IT BECAME
00:18:22.73\00:18:25.83
SCRIPTURE.
00:18:25.83\00:18:27.10
PETER REFERS TO
PAUL'S WRITINGS AS SCRIPTURE.
00:18:27.10\00:18:31.16
"ALL SCRIPTURE IS GIVEN
BY INSPIRATION OF GOD AND IS
00:18:31.16\00:18:34.16
PROFITABLE."
00:18:34.16\00:18:35.23
HEY, LET ME TALK TO YOU
ABOUT SOMETHING REAL QUICK.
00:18:35.23\00:18:37.50
I'LL BE BACK.
00:18:39.20\00:18:40.66
NOW, THIS IS AN
OLD CUMBERSOME ONE.
00:18:42.76\00:18:45.56
THIS IS A G.P.S., AND I
WON'T TURN IT ON RIGHT NOW.
00:18:45.56\00:18:51.33
BUT I THINK
EVERYBODY KNOWS HOW THESE WORK.
00:18:51.33\00:18:53.83
PEOPLE HAVE THEM
ON THEIR iPHONES NOW.
00:18:53.83\00:18:56.00
THEY'VE GOT THEM ON ALL
THEIR DIFFERENT MOBILE DEVICES.
00:18:56.00\00:18:59.66
I'VE BEEN A PILOT FOR ABOUT 25
YEARS, AND I'VE GOT TWO OF THESE
00:18:59.66\00:19:03.60
IN MY PLANE, BECAUSE DRIVING,
YOU KNOW, YOU RUN OUT OF GAS,
00:19:03.60\00:19:08.06
YOU PULL OVER, YOU CALL AAA.
00:19:08.06\00:19:09.63
YOU DON'T DO THAT WITH AN
AIRPLANE; IT'S VERY UNFORGIVING.
00:19:09.63\00:19:12.06
YOU WANNA KNOW WHERE
YOU ARE AT ALL TIMES.
00:19:12.06\00:19:15.50
AND SO, THESE THINGS ARE
FASCINATING BECAUSE WHEN YOU
00:19:15.50\00:19:18.33
FIRST STUDY TO BE A PILOT,
ORIGINALLY, THEY MADE YOU DO
00:19:18.33\00:19:21.60
WIND VARIATIONS AND YOU HAD
THESE LITTLE CHARTS AND THINGS
00:19:21.60\00:19:24.93
THAT YOU
CALIBRATE FOR AND V.O.R.s.
00:19:24.93\00:19:27.96
AND PILOTS ARE
SUPPOSED TO ALL KNOW THAT.
00:19:27.96\00:19:30.60
BUT YOU KNOW WHAT MOST
PILOTS ARE DEPENDING ON NOW?
00:19:30.60\00:19:33.16
AND EVEN MOST AIRPORTS
ARE ACCEPTING WHAT THEY CALL A
00:19:33.16\00:19:35.43
G.P.S. NAVIGATION, WHERE IT USED
TO BE YOU HAD TO USE ALL THE
00:19:35.43\00:19:37.96
OTHER METHODS OF
INSTRUMENT FLIGHT.
00:19:37.96\00:19:40.46
BUT I KEEP THIS IN MY CAR.
00:19:40.46\00:19:44.06
WHEN IT PICKS UP SATELLITES, IT
GETS TWO OR THREE SATELLITES, IT
00:19:44.06\00:19:47.06
TELLS YOU WHERE YOU ARE.
00:19:47.06\00:19:49.70
AND IT'S NOT ANY ONE SATELLITE.
00:19:49.70\00:19:52.30
YOU CAN'T GET A READING.
00:19:52.30\00:19:53.56
EVEN ANY TWO SATELLITES.
00:19:53.56\00:19:56.20
YOU NEED TO TRIANGULATE WITH
AT LEAST THREE SATELLITES BEFORE
00:19:56.20\00:19:59.86
YOU CAN START TO PINPOINT
WHERE YOU ARE ON THE GROUND.
00:19:59.86\00:20:03.06
MORE SATELLITES, YOU CAN NOT
ONLY TELL WHERE YOU ARE ON THE
00:20:03.06\00:20:05.33
MAP, YOU CAN TELL
WHAT YOUR ELEVATION IS.
00:20:05.33\00:20:07.96
YOU WANT AS MANY SATELLITES
AS POSSIBLE TO MAKE SURE YOU CAN
00:20:07.96\00:20:11.83
PINPOINT WHERE YOU ARE
AND WHERE YOU'RE GOING.
00:20:11.83\00:20:14.33
IT'LL TELL YOU HOW FAST YOU'RE
GOING, IT'LL TELL YOU WHEN
00:20:14.33\00:20:16.66
YOU'RE GOING TO ARRIVE.
00:20:16.66\00:20:17.73
IT TELLS YOU WHAT
YOUR DESCENT SPEED IT.
00:20:17.73\00:20:19.83
VERY, VERY
IMPORTANT PIECE OF NAVIGATION.
00:20:19.83\00:20:22.33
THE BIBLE IN A SENSE PROVIDES
THAT INFORMATION, BUT YOU ARRIVE
00:20:22.33\00:20:26.66
AT THE TRUTH BY COMPARING
SCRIPTURE WITH SCRIPTURE.
00:20:26.66\00:20:30.93
AND SO IT GIVES YOU THE WHOLE
PICTURE OF WHERE YOU'RE GOING.
00:20:30.93\00:20:34.86
YOU KNOW, IN YOUR LESSON
BOOKS, THE M.I.Q. ANSWER BOOKS,
00:20:34.86\00:20:38.46
SOMETHING VERY INCREDIBLE
HAPPENED YEARS AGO WHEN PEOPLE
00:20:38.46\00:20:41.26
WANTED TO GO FROM
POINT A. TO POINT B.
00:20:41.26\00:20:43.70
THEY HAD TO USE THE STARS AND
THEY'D CHART THEIR POSITION BY
00:20:43.70\00:20:46.76
THE STARS, OR
THE SUN OR THE MOON.
00:20:46.76\00:20:50.96
BUT THEY DEVELOPED SOMETHING
THAT THEY PUT ON SUBMARINES
00:20:50.96\00:20:53.40
CALLED AN INTERNAL
GYRO NAVIGATION SYSTEM.
00:20:53.40\00:20:58.00
AND IT ALLOWED THE U.S.
00:20:58.00\00:20:59.60
NAUTILUS, IN 1958, TO GO UNDER
THE POLAR ICE IN THE ARCTIC.
00:20:59.60\00:21:05.73
NOW, CAN YOU
IMAGINE NO SATELLITES?
00:21:05.73\00:21:08.00
NO SUN, MOON AND STARS?
00:21:08.00\00:21:09.56
FOUR DAYS UNDER THE ICE, THEY
CROSSED UNDER THE NORTH POLE.
00:21:09.56\00:21:14.30
166 MEN.
00:21:14.30\00:21:16.26
WHAT WOULD'VE HAPPENED
IF THEY LOST THEIR POSITION?
00:21:16.26\00:21:18.76
THEY'RE IN DARKNESS, ALL THEY'VE
GOT IS THIS ONE UNIT THAT IS
00:21:18.76\00:21:21.46
TELLING THEM
WHERE THEY'RE GOING.
00:21:21.46\00:21:23.13
IF THEY HAD A MECHANICAL
PROBLEM, AT THE SURFACE THEY
00:21:23.13\00:21:24.93
WERE DOOMED.
00:21:24.93\00:21:26.40
BUT THEY DID IT, THEY WENT
ALL THE WAY ACROSS, UNDERNEATH.
00:21:26.40\00:21:29.43
BECAUSE THEY HAD AN
INTERNAL GYRO NAVIGATION SYSTEM.
00:21:29.43\00:21:34.23
SO HAVING THE COMBINATION OF THE
TEXT OF THE SCRIPTURE AND GOD'S
00:21:34.23\00:21:40.93
SPIRIT IS GONNA GIVE
YOU DIRECTION IN YOUR LIFE.
00:21:40.93\00:21:45.03
WE NEED BOTH FACETS IN ORDER
TO UNDERSTAND WHAT IS THE TRUTH.
00:21:45.03\00:21:49.23
PRINCIPALLY THE WORD OF GOD --
BY THE WAY, THE HOLY SPIRIT WILL
00:21:49.23\00:21:53.16
NEVER TELL YOU ANYTHING
CONTRARY TO WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS.
00:21:53.16\00:21:58.46
JESUS SAID, "WHEN THE SPIRIT
OF TRUTH HAS COME, HE WILL LEAD
00:21:58.46\00:22:01.26
YOU INTO ALL TRUTH."
00:22:01.26\00:22:03.03
ALL RIGHT, QUESTION NUMBER 2:
00:22:03.03\00:22:05.06
ISAIAH 42:8-9, IT SAYS...
00:22:11.70\00:22:15.00
AND THEN IT GOES ON TO SAY...
00:22:22.36\00:22:23.80
GOD IN HIS WORD TELLS US IN
ADVANCE WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN.
00:22:27.50\00:22:30.86
YOU THINK ABOUT WHAT'S INVOLVED
IN A PROPHECY BEING GIVEN IN
00:22:30.86\00:22:35.86
ADVANCE.
00:22:35.86\00:22:37.56
I MEAN, IF ONE LITTLE DETAIL
OF WHAT'S GOING ON IN THIS ROOM
00:22:37.56\00:22:40.93
RIGHT NOW WERE TO CHANGE --
ANYTHING FROM JUST YOUR SHIFT IN
00:22:40.93\00:22:45.83
YOUR BODY -- HOW THAT'S GOING TO
INTER-REACT WITH THE OTHER ATOMS
00:22:45.83\00:22:48.90
AROUND YOU...
00:22:48.90\00:22:50.16
IT CREATES A CHAIN REACTION.
00:22:50.16\00:22:51.20
EVERYONE AROUND YOU.
00:22:51.20\00:22:52.70
IT'S GOING TO MAKE ALL OF
HISTORY DIFFERENT FOREVER.
00:22:52.70\00:22:56.60
JUST HOW YOU SIT AND
HOW YOU MOVE RIGHT NOW.
00:22:56.60\00:22:58.80
ESPECIALLY IF
YOU'RE ON CAMERA, RIGHT?
00:22:58.80\00:23:01.43
[LAUGHTER] HOW CAN
GOD PREDICT THOUSANDS
00:23:01.43\00:23:04.86
OF YEARS IN ADVANCE
WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN?
00:23:04.86\00:23:08.23
AND YET, THERE'S THOUSANDS
OF PROPHECIES IN THE BIBLE WHERE
00:23:08.23\00:23:11.30
GOD PINPOINTED EXACTLY
WHAT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN.
00:23:11.30\00:23:14.20
ONE EXAMPLE, A PROPHET CAME
ALONG; HE FORETOLD KING JOSIAH
00:23:14.20\00:23:17.86
YEARS BEFORE HE WAS BORN,
BY NAME, SAID WHAT HIS NAME
00:23:17.86\00:23:21.33
WOULD BE, THAT HE WOULD EXHUME
THESE COUNTERFEIT PRIESTS,
00:23:21.33\00:23:25.16
HE WOULD BURN THEIR BONES
ON THEIR FALSE ALTARS THAT THEY
00:23:25.16\00:23:27.66
HAD BUILT UP.
00:23:27.66\00:23:28.53
EVERYTHING THAT WAS FORETOLD
BY THE PROPHET HAPPENED.
00:23:28.53\00:23:32.16
KING JOSIAH CAME AND
DID EXACTLY WHAT HE SAID.
00:23:32.16\00:23:34.60
HOW COULD GOD FORETELL THAT?
00:23:34.60\00:23:36.46
WELL YOU KNOW, ONE OF
THE FAVORITE PROPHECIES FOR
00:23:36.46\00:23:39.56
EVANGELISTS IS THEY TAKE
THE CHAPTER TWO IN THE BIBLE,
00:23:39.56\00:23:42.53
WHERE IT TALKS ABOUT DANIEL.
00:23:42.53\00:23:44.70
AND NEBUCHADNEZZAR HAS THIS
DREAM AND IT TELLS ABOUT THE
00:23:44.70\00:23:48.63
KINGDOMS OF THE WORLD THAT WOULD
BE OUTLINED FROM THE TIME OF
00:23:48.63\00:23:52.10
DANIEL, WHEN BABYLON WAS RULING,
UP UNTIL THE PRESENT DAY.
00:23:52.10\00:23:56.36
NOW, WHO CAN FORETELL THAT?
00:23:56.36\00:23:57.63
I MEAN, IT WAS EASY TO SAY
BABYLON WOULD BE A WORLD POWER.
00:23:57.63\00:24:01.00
AND THIS DREAM WAS
GIVEN IN THE FORM OF AN IMAGE.
00:24:01.00\00:24:03.83
THEY WERE ALL INVOLVED IN
IDOLATRY BACK THEN AND THEY
00:24:03.83\00:24:06.03
WOULD SOMETIMES WORSHIP IDOLS
OF GOLD OR IDOLS OF SILVER,
00:24:06.03\00:24:08.90
IDOLS OF BRONZE
OR STONE OR WHATEVER.
00:24:08.90\00:24:11.16
THIS IDOL HAD ALL
THE METALS IN ONE.
00:24:11.16\00:24:14.40
STARTING WITH GOLD,
ENDING WITH IRON AND CLAY.
00:24:14.40\00:24:18.73
AND DANIEL SAID, "THOSE
DIFFERENT METALS REPRESENT THE
00:24:18.73\00:24:21.40
DIFFERENT WORLD KINGDOMS
THAT ARE GOING TO OCCUPY GOD'S
00:24:21.40\00:24:24.73
PEOPLE."
00:24:24.73\00:24:25.56
IT WASN'T ALL THE KINGDOMS
IN THE WORLD, BUT THE ONES THAT
00:24:25.56\00:24:27.43
WOULD DIRECTLY INFLUENCE AND
OCCUPY WHERE THE PEOPLE OF GOD
00:24:27.43\00:24:30.70
WERE WORKING.
00:24:30.70\00:24:32.30
HE SAID, "FIRST
THERE WILL BE BABYLON."
00:24:32.30\00:24:33.86
AND THEN IT NAMES
THE OTHERS IN DANIEL.
00:24:33.86\00:24:36.00
IT SAYS, "THEN MEDO PERSIA.
00:24:36.00\00:24:38.06
THEN GREECE."
00:24:38.06\00:24:39.20
IT MENTIONS UP TO GREECE.
00:24:39.20\00:24:40.93
THEN IT TALKED
ABOUT THIS IRON KINGDOM.
00:24:40.93\00:24:43.23
THEN THAT THAT IRON KINGDOM OF
ROME WOULD BE DIVIDED INTO WHAT
00:24:43.23\00:24:48.30
ENDED UP HAPPENING IN HISTORY:
THE DIVISIONS OF EUROPE.
00:24:48.30\00:24:51.56
EVERYTHING THAT HAD
FORETOLD HAS HAPPENED.
00:24:51.56\00:24:53.83
AND THEN LATER IN THE
VISION, IT SAYS THE NEXT THING.
00:24:53.83\00:24:56.16
A STONE CUT WITHOUT MAN'S HANDS
FROM A MOUNTAIN COMES DOWN AND
00:24:56.16\00:24:59.76
SMITES THE IMAGE.
00:24:59.76\00:25:00.66
AND IT IS PULVERIZED, AND
THE STONE GROWS INTO A MOUNTAIN,
00:25:00.66\00:25:04.23
FILLS THE WHOLE EARTH,
REPRESENTING JESUS, THE ROCK OF
00:25:04.23\00:25:06.60
AGES...
00:25:06.60\00:25:07.76
JESUS, THE WORD...
00:25:07.76\00:25:09.80
THAT WOULD FILL THE WHOLE EARTH.
00:25:09.80\00:25:11.70
EVERYTHING IN THE
VISION HAS HAPPENED SO FAR.
00:25:11.70\00:25:14.30
WHY WOULD WE DOUBT THAT THE
LAST PART IS GOING TO HAPPEN?
00:25:14.30\00:25:17.56
SO, THE PROPHECIES IN THE
BIBLE DO COME TRUE, AND THEY'RE
00:25:17.56\00:25:20.23
EXTREMELY ACCURATE.
00:25:20.23\00:25:22.46
NOW, SOME PEOPLE READ THE BIBLE
THE WAY THAT YOU MIGHT, YOU
00:25:22.46\00:25:26.80
KNOW...
00:25:26.80\00:25:28.00
[GIGGLES] GET FORTUNE COOKIES.
00:25:28.00\00:25:30.66
I HAD AN
INTERESTING EXPERIENCE ONE DAY.
00:25:30.66\00:25:32.40
WHERE, I BOUGHT A QUAD,
AN A.T.V., ON CRAIG'S LIST.
00:25:32.40\00:25:38.16
IT WAS A GREAT DEAL.
00:25:38.16\00:25:39.73
I GOT A BUDDY TO
HELP ME TRANSPORT IT.
00:25:39.73\00:25:42.86
I SAID, "LET ME BUY YOU LUNCH."
00:25:42.86\00:25:45.53
WENT TO A CHINESE RESTAURANT.
00:25:45.53\00:25:47.43
AT THE END OF OUR MEAL,
THEY GAVE US FORTUNE COOKIES.
00:25:47.43\00:25:52.76
DO YOU KNOW WHAT THE FORTUNE
SAID IN ONE OF OUR COOKIES?
00:25:52.76\00:25:56.00
"YOU ARE GOING TO BUY SOMETHING
WITH FOUR WHEELS THAT WILL BE
00:25:56.00\00:25:58.93
A LOT OF FUN."
00:25:58.93\00:26:00.53
[LAUGHTER] IT'S THE TRUTH.
00:26:00.53\00:26:03.20
I'VE GOT IT PINNED UP ON MY
00:26:03.20\00:26:04.63
BOARD.
00:26:04.66\00:26:06.33
AND I'VE STARTED EATING MORE
CHINESE FOOD EVER SINCE THEN.
00:26:06.33\00:26:08.93
[LAUGHTER] NOW DO
YOU THINK I REALLY
00:26:08.93\00:26:11.70
BELIEVE THAT GOD SPOKE TO
ME THROUGH A FORTUNE COOKIE?
00:26:11.70\00:26:14.60
I SUPPOSE GOD COULD
IF HE, IF HE WANTED TO.
00:26:14.63\00:26:16.30
BUT YOU KNOW, THAT'S
NOT HOW WE READ THE BIBLE.
00:26:16.30\00:26:20.86
THE WORD OF GOD,
IT DOESN'T CHANGE.
00:26:20.86\00:26:23.16
IT DOESN'T GO
WITH OUR IMPRESSIONS.
00:26:23.16\00:26:24.80
I MEAN, SOMETIMES THERE'LL
BE QUIRKY THINGS THAT'LL HAPPEN
00:26:24.80\00:26:26.90
WHERE YOU CAN SAY, "OH,
HOW DID THEY KNOW THAT?"
00:26:26.90\00:26:29.30
THAT'S NOT LIKE BIBLE PROPHECY.
00:26:29.30\00:26:31.00
BIBLE PROPHECY IS UNCHANGING.
00:26:31.00\00:26:32.66
IT'S SOLID.
00:26:32.66\00:26:33.90
IT'S UNIVERSAL IN ITS
SCOPE AND THE WAY IT TEACHES US.
00:26:33.90\00:26:36.80
QUESTION NUMBER 3:
00:26:36.80\00:26:38.46
IS THE BIBLE ACCURATE WHEN IT
SPEAKS ABOUT AREAS OF SCIENTIFIC
00:26:40.16\00:26:44.33
HEALTH?
00:26:44.33\00:26:45.83
YOU KNOW, HAVE YOU HEARD
PEOPLE SAW, "WELL, YOU KNOW, THE
00:26:46.63\00:26:48.40
BIBLE'S AN OLD BOOK"?
00:26:48.40\00:26:49.53
"IT'S NOT SCIENTIFIC"?
00:26:49.53\00:26:50.56
"IT'S NOT ACCURATE"?
00:26:50.56\00:26:52.23
THAT'S NOT TRUE AT ALL.
00:26:52.23\00:26:53.73
MATTER OF FACT, LET'S LOOK
AT A COUPLE OF SCRIPTURES ON
00:26:53.73\00:26:56.13
THIS.
00:26:56.13\00:26:56.83
1 JOHN 3:20, "GOD IS GREATER
THAN OUR HEART, AND HE KNOWS
00:26:56.83\00:27:01.96
ALL THINGS."
00:27:01.96\00:27:04.33
YOU KNOW, BACK IN THE
1860s, WHEN DOCTORS DID SURGERY,
00:27:04.33\00:27:09.23
YOU DIDN'T WANT TO GO TO A
HOSPITAL BACK THEN, BECAUSE THE
00:27:09.23\00:27:11.96
DOCTOR MIGHT SAY, "THE SURGERY
WAS A SUCCESS, BUT THE PATIENT
00:27:11.96\00:27:15.00
DIED."
00:27:15.00\00:27:16.70
IT HAPPENED A LOT.
00:27:16.70\00:27:19.03
MATTER OF FACT, 80% MORE WOMEN
HAD INFECTIONS AND PROBLEMS AND
00:27:19.03\00:27:23.10
DEATH HAVING BABIES IN
HOSPITALS THAN AT HOME.
00:27:23.10\00:27:28.03
YOU KNOW THE REASON?
00:27:28.03\00:27:30.46
FOR... 600 YEARS BEFORE
THAT THEY JUST DIDN'T MAKE A
00:27:30.46\00:27:33.66
CONNECTION BETWEEN
CLEANLINESS AND INFECTION.
00:27:33.66\00:27:36.80
AND THE DOCTORS WOULD GO FROM
THE SURGERY THEATER, WITH APRONS
00:27:36.80\00:27:40.70
COVERED WITH BLOOD AND WHO
KNOWS WHAT ELSE FROM FORMER
00:27:40.70\00:27:43.43
PATIENTS, WITHOUT EVEN WASHING
THEIR HANDS, NO GLOVES, AND GO
00:27:43.43\00:27:46.83
BEGIN TO WORK
ON THE NEXT PERSON.
00:27:46.83\00:27:48.60
AND THEY JUST CAUSED EPIDEMICS
ALL THE TIME IN THE HOSPITAL.
00:27:48.60\00:27:50.80
DEATH EVERYWHERE.
00:27:50.80\00:27:52.16
ALONG CAME A DOCTOR, HE WAS
A QUAKER, VERY RELIGIOUS MAN
00:27:52.16\00:27:55.43
BY THE NAME OF JOSEPH LISTER.
00:27:55.43\00:27:58.93
AND HE READ IN THE BIBLE WHERE
WHENEVER SOMEBODY WAS SICK OR
00:27:58.93\00:28:03.76
THEY TOUCHED A DEAD BODY,
THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO WASH.
00:28:03.76\00:28:07.46
AND HE THOUGHT, GOD IS
TRYING TO TELL US SOMETHING.
00:28:07.46\00:28:09.60
AND THEN HE SAW THE RESEARCH
OF LOUIS PASTEUR AND HE BEGAN TO
00:28:09.60\00:28:12.46
IMPLEMENT PROCEDURES OF
SANITATION AND CLEANLINESS IN
00:28:12.46\00:28:15.43
HIS CLINIC.
00:28:15.43\00:28:16.86
AND THE SURVIVAL
RATE SKYROCKETED.
00:28:16.86\00:28:20.53
FIRST THE OTHER DOCTORS JUST
ABOUT LAUGHED HIM OUT OF THE
00:28:20.53\00:28:22.46
PROFESSION.
00:28:22.46\00:28:23.63
THEY THOUGHT HE WAS ECCENTRIC
AND THAT HE WAS A FANATIC.
00:28:23.63\00:28:26.46
AND GRADUALLY
EVERYBODY BEGAN TO ACCEPT IT.
00:28:26.46\00:28:31.16
BY THE WAY, DO YOU KNOW WHERE
THE WORD "LISTERINE" COMES FROM?
00:28:31.16\00:28:33.66
EXACTLY.
00:28:33.66\00:28:35.10
IT WAS NAMED
AFTER JOSEPH LISTER.
00:28:35.10\00:28:36.53
EVEN THE BAND-AID,
PUTTING THAT OVER YOUR WOUND.
00:28:36.53\00:28:39.53
ALL OF THESE THINGS
CAN BE TRACED BACK TO HIM.
00:28:39.53\00:28:41.16
YOU LOOK IN THE BIBLE, SOME OF
THE LAWS AND THE RULES THAT IT
00:28:41.16\00:28:43.80
HAD ABOUT SANITATION.
00:28:43.80\00:28:45.86
JUST SIMPLE THINGS
LIKE COVERING HUMAN WASTE.
00:28:45.86\00:28:49.20
YOU KNOW THE BIBLE SAYS THAT.
00:28:49.20\00:28:50.46
I'VE BEEN TO A LOT OF
COUNTRIES OF THE WORLD.
00:28:50.46\00:28:52.26
THEY STILL HAVEN'T
READ THAT PART OF THE BIBLE.
00:28:52.26\00:28:54.56
AND I, I DON'T WANNA GET TOO
GRAPHIC, BUT YOU KNOW, IN OUR
00:28:54.56\00:28:57.20
COUNTRY, WE GOT PLACES THAT
ARE DESIGNATED AS THE RESTROOM.
00:28:57.20\00:29:00.93
AND I'VE BEEN TO A LOT OF
COUNTRIES THAT THEY JUST HAVE
00:29:00.93\00:29:03.16
SOME PLACES THAT ARE DESIGNATED
AS NOT THE RESTROOM; EVERYTHING
00:29:03.16\00:29:05.96
ELSE IS THE RESTROOM.
00:29:05.96\00:29:07.80
AND THEY'RE
RAMPANT WITH DISEASE.
00:29:07.80\00:29:10.30
AND WHEN THE LORD BROUGHT THAT
NATION OUT OF EGYPT, HE GAVE
00:29:10.30\00:29:14.56
THEM LAWS OF SCIENCE AND HEALTH
AND SANITATION THAT ARE ALL
00:29:14.56\00:29:19.03
CURRENT AND
STILL UP TO DATE TODAY.
00:29:19.03\00:29:21.26
SO CAN YOU BELIEVE THE BIBLE?
00:29:21.26\00:29:22.46
ABSOLUTELY.
00:29:22.46\00:29:24.06
IT'S THE BOOK THAT GOD IS
USING TO COMMUNICATE WITH US.
00:29:24.06\00:29:28.36
NOW, THE LORD -- WE TALKED ABOUT
GOD LAST PRESENTATION AND HOW
00:29:28.36\00:29:32.60
WE CAN'T SEE HIM, BUT HE
CAN SEE US AND HE WANTS TO SPEAK
00:29:32.60\00:29:37.13
TO US.
00:29:37.13\00:29:38.26
THE BIBLE IS A
LOVE LETTER FROM GOD.
00:29:38.26\00:29:41.93
YOU KNOW I WAS, OH,
I DON'T EVEN REMEMBER.
00:29:41.93\00:29:45.30
I TRAVEL SO MUCH.
00:29:45.30\00:29:45.80
I WAS IN ONE FOREIGN COUNTRY,
AND HOW MANY OF YOU KNOW WHAT
00:29:45.80\00:29:47.60
SKYPE IS?
00:29:47.60\00:29:49.56
SKYPE IS, YEAH.
00:29:49.56\00:29:50.83
AND I GET ON SKYPE.
00:29:50.83\00:29:52.76
IT'S A CHEAP WAY TO MAKE
A LONG DISTANCE PHONE CALLS.
00:29:52.76\00:29:56.20
AND I FORGET, I WAS IN MEXICO
OR SOMETHING AND I SKYPED KAREN.
00:29:56.20\00:29:59.10
AND KAREN'S GOT A LITTLE CAMERA
SET UP THAT I SET UP FOR HER,
00:29:59.10\00:30:02.36
AND I CAN SKYPE HER.
00:30:02.36\00:30:04.96
AND I CAN LOOK AT HER,
AND SHE CAN LOOK AT ME.
00:30:04.96\00:30:07.33
AND IT'S JUST SO SOPHISTICATED.
00:30:07.33\00:30:08.73
AND WE'RE TALKING TO EACH OTHER
AND THE KIDS WILL JUMP IN THE
00:30:08.73\00:30:10.63
PICTURE AND I'LL WAVE AT THEM.
00:30:10.63\00:30:12.33
WELL, ONE TIME SOMETHING
WENT OUT WITH THE MESSAGE.
00:30:12.33\00:30:15.50
AND I WAS ABLE TO HEAR HER, AND
SEE HER AND THE BOYS, BUT SHE
00:30:15.50\00:30:21.93
COULDN'T SEE ME.
00:30:21.93\00:30:22.90
AND WE COULDN'T
FIGURE OUT WHAT IT WAS.
00:30:22.90\00:30:24.46
BUT SHE COULD, SHE
COULD, I COULD TEXT HER.
00:30:24.46\00:30:27.83
AND SO WE HAD THIS WHOLE
CONVERSATION WHERE I KEPT
00:30:27.83\00:30:30.53
SENDING HER TEXT MESSAGES
AND SHE WOULD THEN ANSWER.
00:30:30.53\00:30:33.63
SHE'D READ THEM
AND SHE'D ANSWER.
00:30:33.63\00:30:35.13
SHE KNEW I WAS THERE, BECAUSE
I WAS SAYING THINGS THAT ONLY I
00:30:35.13\00:30:38.70
WOULD KNOW AND
SPEAKING TO HER HEART.
00:30:38.70\00:30:40.56
IT WASN'T SOME STRANGER
OUT THERE THAT WAS TEXTING HER.
00:30:40.56\00:30:44.23
BUT -- THE COMMUNICATION WAS
INHIBITED, BUT WE WERE ABLE TO
00:30:44.23\00:30:47.63
COMMUNICATE.
00:30:47.63\00:30:48.90
WELL, IN THE BIBLE, GOD
IS TEXTING YOU HIS WILL.
00:30:48.90\00:30:53.93
THIS WORLD HAS BEEN INFILTRATED
AND CONFOUNDED BY AN ARCH FIEND
00:30:53.93\00:31:00.60
CALLED THE DEVIL.
00:31:00.60\00:31:02.10
AND HE HAS TRIED TO CUT THE
COMMUNICATION LINES BETWEEN US
00:31:02.10\00:31:05.13
AND GOD BECAUSE OF SIN.
00:31:05.13\00:31:07.46
SIN SEPARATES US FROM GOD.
00:31:07.46\00:31:09.96
BUT THE LORD STILL IS DESPERATE
TO GET A MESSAGE OF LOVE TO US.
00:31:09.96\00:31:14.50
AND ONE OF THE PRINCIPAL WAYS
THAT HE DOES THIS IS THROUGH HIS
00:31:14.50\00:31:16.73
WORD, AND OF COURSE, GOD HIMSELF
BECAME THE WORD IN JESUS.
00:31:16.73\00:31:22.86
HE CAME TO EARTH AS A MAN.
00:31:22.86\00:31:24.20
JESUS WAS THE WORD IN FLESH.
00:31:24.20\00:31:27.20
HE LIVED IT OUT.
00:31:27.20\00:31:28.56
HE IS THE WORD.
00:31:28.56\00:31:29.66
"IN THE BEGINNING WAS THE WORD,
AND THE WORD WAS WITH GOD AND
00:31:29.66\00:31:32.70
THE WORD WAS GOD."
00:31:32.70\00:31:34.66
SO CHRIST, WE DON'T
KNOW WHAT HE LOOKED LIKE.
00:31:34.66\00:31:36.73
WE DON'T KNOW
WHAT JESUS LOOKED LIKE.
00:31:36.73\00:31:38.43
I KNOW ALL OUR PICTURES
LOOK PRETTY MUCH THE SAME.
00:31:38.43\00:31:40.26
WHY DID JESUS CHANGE THE WORLD?
00:31:40.26\00:31:42.73
BECAUSE OF THE WAY HE LOOKED?
00:31:42.73\00:31:44.13
OR WHAT HE SAID?
00:31:44.13\00:31:46.10
AND HIS WORDS ARE IN THE BIBLE.
00:31:46.10\00:31:48.40
AND YOU KNOW WHAT'S AMAZING
TO ME -- I STILL HAVEN'T FIGURED
00:31:48.40\00:31:50.93
OUT HOW TO DO THIS YET.
00:31:50.93\00:31:51.90
PEOPLE WOULD COME AND LISTEN
TO JESUS, SIT DOWN AND TALK.
00:31:51.90\00:31:55.46
DOESN'T SAY HE YELLED AND HE WAS
SCREAMING, HE JUMPED UP AND DOWN
00:31:55.46\00:31:58.63
AND RANTED AND WAVED
AND POUNDED ON THE SCROLLS.
00:31:58.63\00:32:02.26
HE SAT DOWN AND
HE TALKED TO PEOPLE.
00:32:02.26\00:32:05.20
AND THE POWER OF WHAT HE
SAID WAS SO PROFOUND THAT PEOPLE
00:32:05.20\00:32:09.43
WOULD SIT MESMERIZED ALL DAY
LONG AND LISTEN TO HIM FOR SO
00:32:09.43\00:32:12.96
LONG, THEY WOULD FORGET TO EAT.
00:32:12.96\00:32:15.46
THERE'S SOMETHING POWERFUL ABOUT
THE WORD OF GOD THAT RESONATES
00:32:16.16\00:32:18.96
IN OUR SOULS.
00:32:18.96\00:32:20.56
AND A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO ARE DOWN
ON THE BIBLE OR SIMPLY NOT UP
00:32:20.56\00:32:23.13
ON THE BIBLE...
00:32:23.13\00:32:24.30
THEY'RE DOWN ON IT,
AND THEY'VE NEVER READ IT.
00:32:24.30\00:32:26.16
OR THEY'VE GOT LITTLE SNIPPETS.
00:32:26.16\00:32:27.50
I'VE HEARD PEOPLE SAY,
"OH, I DON'T BELIEVE THE BIBLE.
00:32:27.50\00:32:29.50
YEAH, I KNOW THE BIBLE.
00:32:29.50\00:32:30.40
I'VE READ THE BIBLE.
00:32:30.40\00:32:31.63
IT SAYS GOD HELPS
THOSE THAT HELP THEMSELVES."
00:32:31.63\00:32:33.73
THAT'S NOT IN THE BIBLE.
00:32:33.73\00:32:34.90
THAT'S BEN FRANKLIN.
00:32:34.90\00:32:36.30
[LAUGHTER] AND I'VE
HEARD PEOPLE MISQUOTE
00:32:36.30\00:32:38.33
THE BIBLE SO MANY TIMES.
00:32:38.33\00:32:40.70
NOW THEY'RE TELLING ME THAT
SOMEONE'S TEXTED IN A QUESTION
00:32:40.70\00:32:43.23
THAT THEY THINK GOES
ALONG WITH TONIGHT'S PROGRAM.
00:32:43.23\00:32:46.56
? ? GOT IT UP ON THE SCREEN.
00:32:46.56\00:32:51.10
I AM EXHIBIT A.
00:32:53.33\00:32:55.06
[LAUGHTER] I THINK
THE LORD DOES HAVE AN --
00:32:55.06\00:32:59.33
NOT THAT I'VE GOT A
GREAT SENSE OF HUMOR.
00:32:59.33\00:33:01.03
JUST LOOK AT ME.
00:33:01.03\00:33:01.63
[GIGGLES] BUT...
00:33:01.63\00:33:04.70
I DO THINK THAT THE
LORD HAS A SENSE OF HUMOR.
00:33:04.70\00:33:07.83
I MEAN, THE BIBLE TELLS US EVEN
IT SAYS, GOD WILL LAUGH, IT SAYS
00:33:07.83\00:33:11.10
GOD SINGS.
00:33:11.10\00:33:13.00
AND YOU KNOW, THE LORD
EVEN USES IRONY IN HIS WORD.
00:33:13.00\00:33:16.13
YOU THINK ABOUT ONE TIME
WHEN THE PROPHETS OF BAAL WERE
00:33:16.13\00:33:18.56
DANCING AROUND, TRYING TO
GET THEIR GOD BAAL TO BRING FIRE
00:33:18.56\00:33:23.20
DOWN OUT OF HEAVEN.
00:33:23.20\00:33:24.63
AFTER A WHILE, ELIJAH, UNDER THE
INSPIRATION OF THE HOLY SPIRIT,
00:33:24.63\00:33:27.03
SAID, "MAYBE YOU
SHOULD SHOUT A LITTLE LOUDER.
00:33:27.03\00:33:29.90
HE MIGHT BE ON A JOURNEY.
00:33:29.90\00:33:31.10
COULD BE SLEEPING; YOU
MIGHT NEED TO WAKE HIM UP."
00:33:31.10\00:33:33.40
THAT'S CALLED IRONY.
00:33:33.40\00:33:35.13
JESUS SAID, "IT'S EASIER FOR A
CAMEL TO GO THROUGH THE EYE OF A
00:33:35.13\00:33:38.26
NEEDLE THAN FOR A RICH
MAN TO GET INTO THE KINGDOM."
00:33:38.26\00:33:41.96
THAT, YOU KNOW,
YOU PICTURE THAT.
00:33:41.96\00:33:43.93
THAT'S KIND OF
GOD SOME HUMOR IN IT.
00:33:43.93\00:33:45.83
OR WHEN JESUS SAID, "BEFORE YOU
TAKE THE MOTE, THE SPECK OF DUST
00:33:45.83\00:33:49.70
OUT OF YOUR NEIGHBOR'S EYE, TAKE
THE TWO-BY-FOUR OUT OF YOURS."
00:33:49.70\00:33:53.33
[LAUGHTER] SEE
YOU'RE LAUGHING NOW.
00:33:53.33\00:33:55.50
THERE'S HUMOR IN THAT.
00:33:55.50\00:33:56.83
SO YES, GOD HAS
A SENSE OF HUMOR.
00:33:56.83\00:33:58.60
OKAY, BACK TO OUR QUESTION.
00:33:58.60\00:34:00.40
QUESTION NUMBER 4:
00:34:00.40\00:34:01.93
CAN WE TRUST THE HISTORICAL
RECORDS THAT WE FIND IN THE
00:34:10.43\00:34:12.96
BIBLE?
00:34:12.96\00:34:14.06
ABSOLUTELY.
00:34:14.06\00:34:14.93
DO YOU KNOW THERE IS MORE
HISTORICAL SUPPORT REGARDING
00:34:14.93\00:34:19.10
THE LIFE OF JESUS THAN THERE
IS FOR ALEXANDER THE GREAT OR
00:34:19.10\00:34:23.60
JULIUS CAESAR?
00:34:23.60\00:34:25.06
WE HAVE THOUSANDS OF MANUSCRIPTS
THAT TALK ABOUT JESUS.
00:34:25.06\00:34:27.96
THERE'S JUST A SMATTERING OF
HISTORICAL REFERENCES THAT WE
00:34:27.96\00:34:30.66
STILL HAVE IN EXISTENCE THAT
TALK ABOUT ALEXANDER THE GREAT.
00:34:30.66\00:34:34.73
OR JULIUS CAESAR.
00:34:34.73\00:34:38.43
NOW, I'VE GOT A
LITTLE QUOTE HERE.
00:34:38.43\00:34:40.16
SOME OF YOU HAVE HEARD OF
THE JEWISH HISTORIAN, JOSEPHUS.
00:34:40.16\00:34:43.23
HE WAS A
CONTEMPORARY WITH THE APOSTLES.
00:34:43.23\00:34:46.53
HE WAS PRESENT WHEN
JERUSALEM WAS DESTROYED.
00:34:46.53\00:34:49.10
A JEW.
00:34:49.10\00:34:50.56
IN HIS ANTIQUITIES OF THE
JEWS, AS HE'S JUST GOING THROUGH
00:34:50.56\00:34:54.70
HISTORY, HE INSERTS A
PARAGRAPH THAT BLOWS ME AWAY.
00:34:54.70\00:34:58.40
BECAUSE HE SAYS THIS INCREDIBLE
STATEMENT AND THEN HE MOVES
00:34:58.40\00:35:01.36
RIGHT ALONG.
00:35:01.36\00:35:02.76
LISTEN TO THIS.
00:35:02.76\00:35:03.76
FROM THIS IS BY THE
WAY, ANTIQUITIES OF THE JEWS.
00:35:03.76\00:35:05.83
BOOK 18, CHAPTER 3,
SECTION 1 THROUGH 5.
00:35:05.83\00:35:08.96
"NOW THERE WAS ABOUT THIS
TIME JESUS, A WISE MAN, IF IT BE
00:35:08.96\00:35:13.40
LAWFUL TO CALL HIM A MAN.
00:35:13.40\00:35:15.76
FOR HE WAS A DOER OF WONDERFUL
WORKS AND A TEACHER OF SUCH MEN
00:35:15.76\00:35:18.90
THAT RECEIVED THE
TRUTH WITH PLEASURE.
00:35:18.90\00:35:21.00
HE DREW OVER TO HIM BOTH
MANY OF THE JEWS AND MANY OF THE
00:35:21.00\00:35:23.86
GENTILES.
00:35:23.86\00:35:24.96
HE WAS CHRIST.
00:35:24.96\00:35:28.33
A JEW SAID THAT.
00:35:28.33\00:35:30.46
AND WHEN PILATE, AT THE
SUGGESTION OF THE PRINCIPAL MEN
00:35:30.46\00:35:32.90
AMONG US, HAD HIM CONDEMNED TO
THE CROSS, THOSE THAT LOVED HIM
00:35:32.90\00:35:37.36
AT THE FIRST
DID NOT FORSAKE HIM.
00:35:37.36\00:35:39.26
FOR HE APPEARED TO THEM
ALIVE AGAIN THE THIRD DAY...
00:35:39.26\00:35:43.50
AS THE DIVINE
PROPHETS HAD FORETOLD.
00:35:43.50\00:35:46.73
AND THESE AND 10,000 OTHER
WONDERFUL THINGS CONCERNING HIM
00:35:46.73\00:35:51.53
AND THE TRIBE OF CHRISTIANS SO
NAMED FROM HIM ARE NOT EXTINCT
00:35:51.53\00:35:54.63
TO THIS DAY."
00:35:54.63\00:35:56.30
WOW.
00:35:56.30\00:35:57.40
THAT'S NOT IN THE BIBLE.
00:35:57.40\00:35:59.06
THAT'S HISTORY
FROM THE TIME OF CHRIST.
00:35:59.06\00:36:02.46
NOBODY -- ATHEISTS TAKE
THE WRITINGS OF JOSEPHUS.
00:36:02.46\00:36:06.36
THEY HAVE NO
PROBLEM WITH JOSEPHUS.
00:36:06.36\00:36:08.03
BUT THEY HAVE A
PROBLEM WITH THAT STATEMENT.
00:36:08.03\00:36:10.30
YOU GOTTA TAKE THE WHOLE THING.
00:36:10.30\00:36:11.46
THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF
MANUSCRIPTS THAT SUPPORT THE
00:36:11.46\00:36:13.80
ACCURACY OF...
00:36:13.80\00:36:15.13
A MATTER OF FACT THERE IS NO
BOOK ON ARCHAEOLOGY OR HISTORY
00:36:15.13\00:36:19.70
THAT HAS MORE INFORMATION
THAT IS MORE DEPENDABLE THAN THE
00:36:19.70\00:36:22.70
BIBLE.
00:36:22.70\00:36:24.10
IT COVERS A GREATER SPAN OF
HISTORY THAN ANY OTHER BOOK.
00:36:24.10\00:36:27.16
I BELIEVE THAT
YOU CAN BELIEVE IT.
00:36:27.16\00:36:29.70
OH, I NEVER GOT TO
MY VERSE: JOHN 19:35.
00:36:29.70\00:36:32.70
JOHN THE APOSTLE IS
SAYING, I HAVE SEEN THIS.
00:36:40.43\00:36:42.66
EVEN JOHN SAID, "I HAVE SEEN
WITH MY EYES, I'VE HANDLED WITH
00:36:42.66\00:36:45.16
MY HANDS.
00:36:45.16\00:36:45.96
BELIEVE ME, I'M TELLING YOU
FIRSTHAND: I SAW THE MIRACLES.
00:36:45.96\00:36:49.26
I'VE TOUCHED JESUS.
00:36:49.26\00:36:50.53
HE'S REAL.
00:36:50.53\00:36:52.16
AND IF YOU DON'T ACCEPT THAT
KIND OF EVIDENCE, WHAT EVIDENCE
00:36:52.16\00:36:55.00
WILL YOU ACCEPT?"
00:36:55.00\00:36:57.20
I MEAN, TO ME
IT'S VERY POWERFUL.
00:36:57.20\00:36:59.26
NOW, KEEP IN MIND, I GREW UP --
I WAS TAUGHT BY MY FATHER AND MY
00:36:59.26\00:37:03.63
MOTHER -- I DON'T WANT TO BE
00:37:03.63\00:37:05.03
DISRESPECTFUL -- THAT
JESUS WAS A FAIRYTALE,
00:37:05.03\00:37:08.13
THAT HE WAS A MYTH.
00:37:08.13\00:37:08.93
SO I WAS VERY PREJUDICED.
00:37:08.93\00:37:11.10
MY MOTHER WAS JEWISH, AND
I WAS TOLD CHRISTIANS ARE THE
00:37:11.10\00:37:15.26
PROBLEMS.
00:37:15.26\00:37:16.46
THEY PERSECUTE THE JEWS.
00:37:16.46\00:37:19.56
AND YET, WHEN I READ IT FOR
MYSELF AFTER GOING THROUGH SO
00:37:19.56\00:37:23.13
MANY DIFFERENT BOOKS, I
COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING THAT
00:37:23.13\00:37:25.93
COMPETED WITH THE
VALIDITY OF THE BIBLE.
00:37:25.93\00:37:28.56
THE BIBLE IS ACCURATE HISTORY.
00:37:28.56\00:37:31.23
EVERYTHING FROM IT'S PROPHETIC
INFORMATION, TO IT'S INFORMATION
00:37:31.23\00:37:36.06
ON SCIENCE AND A
NUMBER OF OTHER FIELDS.
00:37:36.06\00:37:38.73
JOHN 19:35, IT TELLS US
THAT WHAT HE SAYS IS TRUE.
00:37:38.73\00:37:42.73
ALL THROUGH THE SCOPE OF
HISTORY, YOU CAN TRUST THE
00:37:42.73\00:37:45.70
WRITINGS AND THE
TEACHINGS OF THE BIBLE.
00:37:45.70\00:37:48.13
ALRIGHT, WE'RE GONNA GO
ONTO QUESTION NUMBER FIVE:
00:37:48.13\00:37:51.76
ANSWER: LUKE 24:27.
00:37:59.56\00:38:02.26
THE BIBLE REALLY
IS A BOOK ABOUT JESUS.
00:38:13.30\00:38:15.73
YOU KNOW THE LAST BOOK IN
THE BIBLE BEGINS BY SAYING, "THE
00:38:15.73\00:38:18.00
REVELATION OF JESUS."
00:38:18.00\00:38:20.20
AND IT'S TELLING
US ALL ABOUT CHRIST.
00:38:20.20\00:38:23.03
LOOK AT SOME OF THE INCREDIBLE
PROPHECIES THAT ARE COVERED IN
00:38:23.03\00:38:27.33
THE BIBLE.
00:38:27.33\00:38:28.36
LET ME READ SOME OF
THESE TO YOU REAL QUICK.
00:38:28.36\00:38:30.46
JUST SOME OF THE PROPHECIES
IN THE BIBLE TELLS IN THE OLD
00:38:30.46\00:38:33.46
TESTAMENT WHERE THE MESSIAH
WOULD BE BORN: IN BETHLEHEM.
00:38:33.46\00:38:37.70
BY THE WAY THAT'S IN MICAH 5:2.
00:38:37.70\00:38:39.86
IT HAPPENED.
00:38:39.86\00:38:40.80
YOU READ ABOUT
IT IN MATTHEW 1:2.
00:38:40.80\00:38:42.90
IT TELLS US THAT THE MESSIAH,
GOD BECOMING A MAN, THE ANOINTED
00:38:42.90\00:38:46.33
ONE, WOULD BE BORN OF A VIRGIN.
00:38:46.33\00:38:49.40
WELL, THAT'S KIND OF UNIQUE.
00:38:49.40\00:38:50.26
YOU KNOW THAT
DOESN'T HAPPEN EVERYDAY.
00:38:50.26\00:38:52.16
THAT'S SAID IN
THE OLD TESTAMENT.
00:38:52.16\00:38:54.20
IT'S BEEN CLAIMED MORE THAN
ONCE, BUT I THINK THOSE THINGS
00:38:54.20\00:38:56.80
ARE SUSPECT.
00:38:56.80\00:38:58.83
NEW TESTAMENT, WE
ALL KNOW ABOUT THAT.
00:38:58.83\00:39:02.53
OLD TESTAMENT, IT SAYS THAT THE
MESSIAH WOULD COME FROM THE LINE
00:39:02.53\00:39:04.73
OF DAVID.
00:39:04.73\00:39:06.23
JESUS DID.
00:39:06.23\00:39:07.13
YOU FIND THAT IN
REVELATION 22:16.
00:39:07.13\00:39:10.13
OLD TESTAMENT, THERE'D BE
AN ATTEMPTED MURDER AS HE WAS A
00:39:10.13\00:39:12.63
BABY.
00:39:12.63\00:39:14.33
IT SAYS THAT CHILDREN OF
RACHEL IN BETHLEHEM WOULD BE
00:39:14.33\00:39:17.03
SLAUGHTERED.
00:39:17.03\00:39:18.13
OLD TESTAMENT, AND WRITTEN
500 YEARS BEFORE IT HAPPENED.
00:39:18.13\00:39:21.90
HOW CAN YOU PREDICT
SOMETHING LIKE THAT?
00:39:21.90\00:39:23.90
DID IT HAPPEN?
00:39:23.90\00:39:24.96
DID HEROD TRY TO KILL
ALL THE BABIES IN BETHLEHEM?
00:39:24.96\00:39:28.10
SAYS HE'D BE
BETRAYED BY A FRIEND.
00:39:28.10\00:39:30.86
AND THAT'S FORETOLD
BY DAVID IN PSALM 41:9.
00:39:30.86\00:39:34.70
NEW TESTAMENT, IT HAPPENED.
00:39:34.70\00:39:36.73
YOU KNOW ABOUT JUDAS.
00:39:36.73\00:39:38.23
IT SAYS HE'D BE SOLD FOR
SILVER, AND HOW MUCH SILVER?
00:39:38.23\00:39:42.76
30 PIECES.
00:39:42.76\00:39:45.16
IN THE OLD TESTAMENT, YOU FIND
THAT IN THE BOOK OF ZECHARIAH
00:39:45.16\00:39:47.26
11.
00:39:47.26\00:39:48.73
MATTHEW 26, JUDAS SOLD HIM.
00:39:48.73\00:39:51.43
IT SAYS THAT HE
WOULD BE CRUCIFIED.
00:39:51.43\00:39:52.93
THEY DIDN'T EVEN HAVE THAT MEANS
OF EXECUTION BACK WHEN IT WAS
00:39:52.93\00:39:55.26
FORETOLD.
00:39:55.26\00:39:56.13
KING DAVID SAID THAT IN PSALMS
22 A THOUSAND YEARS BEFORE JESUS
00:39:56.13\00:40:00.23
WAS BORN.
00:40:00.23\00:40:01.73
"THEY PIERCED MY
HANDS AND MY FEET.
00:40:01.73\00:40:03.26
THEY'VE SURROUNDED ME.
00:40:03.26\00:40:04.03
THEY GAMBLED FOR MY CLOTHING."
00:40:04.03\00:40:06.16
HOW CAN YOU
FORETELL ALL OF THAT?
00:40:06.16\00:40:08.53
THE BIBLE IS FULL OF PROPHECIES
LIKE THIS THAT CAME TRUE EXACTLY
00:40:08.53\00:40:12.86
AS IT WAS FORETOLD,
AND THERE'S MANY MORE.
00:40:12.86\00:40:15.10
YOU CAN FIND GREAT LISTS THAT
DEAL WITH THIS ON THE INTERNET
00:40:15.10\00:40:20.63
AND OTHER PLACES THAT TALK ABOUT
THE OLD TESTAMENT PREDICTIONS,
00:40:20.63\00:40:23.43
THE NEW TESTAMENT FULFILLMENT.
00:40:23.43\00:40:25.83
THE BIBLE CAN BE TRUSTED.
00:40:25.83\00:40:27.46
THE BIBLE IS A "LAMP UNTO
OUR FEET, IT IS A LIGHT TO OUR
00:40:27.46\00:40:31.33
PATHS."
00:40:31.33\00:40:32.56
ULTIMATELY, THE BIBLE IS
ALL TELLING US ABOUT JESUS.
00:40:32.56\00:40:36.40
NOW, JESUS IS CALLED
MANY THINGS IN THE BIBLE.
00:40:36.40\00:40:39.60
JESUS IS CALLED "THE WORD."
00:40:39.60\00:40:41.50
WE TALKED ABOUT THAT.
00:40:41.50\00:40:42.50
HE'S CALLED "THE LIVING WATER."
00:40:42.50\00:40:43.66
HE'S CALLED "THE GREAT I AM."
00:40:43.66\00:40:46.20
HE'S CALLED "THE ROCK OF AGES."
00:40:46.20\00:40:49.20
HE'S CALLED "THE DOOR."
00:40:49.20\00:40:50.56
HE'S CALLED "THE SHEPHERD"
AND A THOUSAND OTHER THINGS.
00:40:50.56\00:40:54.53
THAT, USING THESE ANALOGIES FROM
THE PARABLES IN THE BIBLE, TO
00:40:54.53\00:40:59.10
HELP US UNDERSTAND WHO HE IS.
00:40:59.10\00:41:00.56
BUT ONE OF THE THINGS THAT
JESUS IS CALLED IS "THE LIGHT."
00:41:00.56\00:41:03.23
NOW, WHY IS IT IMPORTANT
FOR YOU TO READ THE BIBLE?
00:41:03.23\00:41:07.16
ALL RIGHT.
00:41:07.16\00:41:07.63
I NEED TWO VOLUNTEERS.
00:41:07.63\00:41:09.50
I NEED, LET'S HAVE
ONE GIRL AND ONE BOY.
00:41:09.50\00:41:12.03
LET ME SEE, WHO'S VOLUNTEER...
00:41:12.03\00:41:12.93
YOU'RE CLOSE TO THE EDGE.
00:41:12.93\00:41:13.63
IT'LL BE EASY FOR YOU TO COME.
00:41:13.63\00:41:14.46
I NEED ONE BOY.
00:41:14.46\00:41:15.70
MAYBE ONE FROM THIS SIDE.
00:41:15.70\00:41:16.36
YOU'RE ON THE
OUTSIDE, YOU'RE CLOSE ENOUGH.
00:41:16.36\00:41:17.83
COME ON UP.
00:41:17.83\00:41:18.26
COME ON UP.
00:41:18.26\00:41:18.66
HURRY UP.
00:41:18.66\00:41:19.73
DO WHAT THOU DOEST QUICKLY.
00:41:19.73\00:41:21.70
OKAY.
00:41:23.86\00:41:24.96
NOW YOU KNOW...
00:41:24.96\00:41:25.86
ALL RIGHT, THESE ARE TWO
FLASHLIGHTS AND I WANT YOU TO
00:41:25.86\00:41:30.20
TAKE THIS.
00:41:30.20\00:41:31.33
IT'S KIND OF DIM.
00:41:31.33\00:41:32.30
FIND A CAMERA.
00:41:32.30\00:41:33.10
SEE THAT RED LIGHT UP THERE?
00:41:33.10\00:41:34.33
AIM THAT TOWARDS THE CAMERA.
00:41:34.33\00:41:36.60
OKAY?
00:41:36.60\00:41:37.10
AIM YOURS TOWARDS THE CAMERA.
00:41:37.10\00:41:37.90
NOW YOURS, IT'S OKAY.
00:41:37.90\00:41:39.10
YOURS IS ON NOW.
00:41:39.10\00:41:40.23
THERE'S NO LIGHT
REALLY ON THIS ONE.
00:41:40.23\00:41:41.63
NOW I WANT YOU TO SHAKE THAT
LIKE YOU'RE SHAKING UP WHIPPED
00:41:41.63\00:41:44.00
CREAM.
00:41:44.00\00:41:46.40
BE ENTHUSIASTIC.
00:41:46.40\00:41:47.33
COME ON.
00:41:47.33\00:41:48.36
DO WHAT THOU DOEST
WITH ALL THY MIGHT.
00:41:48.36\00:41:50.43
CRANK THAT.
00:41:50.43\00:41:52.60
IS IT GETTING...
00:41:52.60\00:41:53.33
CRANK IT FAST.
00:41:53.33\00:41:55.33
>> IT'S NOT CRANKING.
00:41:55.33\00:41:56.43
>> THERE YOU GO.
00:41:56.43\00:41:56.93
THERE YOU GOT IT.
00:41:56.93\00:41:59.46
HERE, LET ME HELP YOU WITH THAT.
00:41:59.46\00:42:00.40
YOU GOT THE OUTSIDE THING?
00:42:00.40\00:42:01.60
THERE'S SOMETHING CALLED A
"DOOLY-BOB" HERE, THERE YOU GO.
00:42:01.60\00:42:04.76
GRAB IT.
00:42:04.76\00:42:05.33
REAL QUICK, CRANK.
00:42:05.33\00:42:06.30
ARE THEY GETTING BRIGHTER?
00:42:06.30\00:42:07.53
NOW SHINE IT AT THE CAMERA.
00:42:07.53\00:42:09.10
THERE, IS IT WORKING?
00:42:09.10\00:42:10.93
NOW WHAT HAPPENS IF WE
WAIT HERE FOR SIX HOURS?
00:42:10.93\00:42:14.13
WE'RE NOT GONNA FIND OUT.
00:42:14.13\00:42:15.66
THEY'RE GONNA GO OUT.
00:42:15.66\00:42:16.60
WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO DO AGAIN?
00:42:16.60\00:42:17.93
>> CRANK IT.
00:42:17.93\00:42:19.03
>> YOU GOTTA SHAKE
THEM OR CRANK THEM AGAIN.
00:42:19.03\00:42:20.93
HOW OFTEN DO YOU
NEED TO READ THE BIBLE?
00:42:20.93\00:42:23.80
EVERYDAY.
00:42:24.73\00:42:26.43
"GIVE US THIS
DAY OUR DAILY BREAD."
00:42:26.43\00:42:29.70
THAT'S NOT JUST
TALKING ABOUT FOOD.
00:42:29.70\00:42:31.36
THE BIBLE IS THE BREAD OF LIFE.
00:42:31.36\00:42:32.36
IT IS THE LIGHT,
THE LAMP UNTO OUR FEET.
00:42:32.36\00:42:34.10
EVERY DAY WE NEED TO TAKE IT IN.
00:42:34.10\00:42:35.83
YOU KNOW WHY?
00:42:35.83\00:42:36.73
WE LEAK.
00:42:36.73\00:42:38.50
OUR BATTERIES DRAIN.
00:42:38.50\00:42:41.30
AND THERE'S A
CONSTANT BATTLE GOING ON.
00:42:41.30\00:42:43.36
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
00:42:43.36\00:42:44.56
I'D GIVE THOSE AWAY, BUT THEY'RE
NOT MINE, BUT YOU CAN TAKE THEM
00:42:44.56\00:42:46.40
BACK TO YOUR SEATS RIGHT NOW.
00:42:46.40\00:42:48.16
THE WORD OF GOD NEEDS TO BE
TAKEN IN CONTINUALLY AND IT WILL
00:42:49.36\00:42:52.90
BUILD YOUR FAITH.
00:42:52.90\00:42:53.86
YOU CAN'T JUST READ A LITTLE
BIT OF THE BIBLE AND EXPECT ITS
00:42:53.86\00:42:56.26
TRANSFORMING POWER
TO ALTER YOUR LIFE.
00:42:56.26\00:42:59.53
ALL RIGHT.
00:42:59.53\00:43:00.53
QUESTION NUMBER SIX:
00:43:00.53\00:43:02.50
IN PSALM 119, WHAT DOES IT
PROMISE THE BIBLE WILL DO FOR
00:43:10.00\00:43:13.30
US?
00:43:13.30\00:43:14.10
IT SAYS...
00:43:14.10\00:43:15.46
WHAT WILL THE BIBLE DO FOR US?
00:43:21.53\00:43:22.50
IT WILL MAKE US WISER.
00:43:22.50\00:43:24.13
AGAIN, YOU CAN READ, IT SAYS...
00:43:24.13\00:43:26.73
NOW, ANY OF YOU WANT
TO BE WISER FOR SCHOOL?
00:43:31.16\00:43:33.86
YOU WANT TO DO BETTER?
00:43:33.86\00:43:35.33
NOTHING WILL REALLY INCREASE
YOUR I.Q. MORE THAN THE STUDY OF
00:43:35.33\00:43:40.56
THE SACRED SCRIPTURES.
00:43:40.56\00:43:41.63
IT CHALLENGES
EVERY PART OF YOUR BRAIN.
00:43:41.63\00:43:44.63
IT'S GOT SONGS IN IT.
00:43:44.63\00:43:46.10
IT HAS POETRY.
00:43:46.10\00:43:47.40
IT HAS HISTORY.
00:43:47.40\00:43:48.80
IT HAS SCIENCE.
00:43:48.80\00:43:49.90
IT HAS POLITICS AND GOVERNMENT.
00:43:49.90\00:43:51.93
IT'S GOT EMOTION.
00:43:51.93\00:43:54.43
I MEAN, EVERYTHING THAT YOU
COULD EVER READ ABOUT, TO SOME
00:43:54.43\00:43:56.70
EXTENT, IS FOUND IN THE BIBLE.
00:43:56.70\00:43:59.66
AND IT REALLY EXERCISES YOUR
BRAIN, BUT YOU NEED IT EVERY
00:43:59.66\00:44:04.86
DAY.
00:44:04.86\00:44:05.70
IT'S GOD'S VOICE SPEAKING
TO YOUR HEART AND IT HAS A
00:44:05.70\00:44:08.50
TRANSFORMING
INFLUENCE ON IT, ON YOUR LIVES.
00:44:08.50\00:44:11.56
QUESTION NUMBER SEVEN:
00:44:11.56\00:44:13.13
LET ME JUST SEE.
00:44:20.16\00:44:21.20
DO YOU SOMETIMES WONDER, BE
HONEST, DO YOU SOMETIMES WONDER,
00:44:21.20\00:44:23.26
"IS IT ALL TRUE?
00:44:23.26\00:44:24.50
CAN I BELIEVE?"
00:44:24.50\00:44:25.40
YOU MAY NOT WANT TO RAISE YOUR
HANDS IN FRONT OF YOUR FRIENDS
00:44:25.40\00:44:27.10
ABOUT THAT
QUESTION, IF YOU'RE HONEST.
00:44:27.10\00:44:30.43
HAVE YOU EVER HAD DOUBTS?
00:44:30.43\00:44:31.46
I'LL ADMIT IT.
00:44:31.46\00:44:32.10
I'VE HAD DOUBTS,
WONDERED, "NOAH AND THE ARK?
00:44:32.10\00:44:35.73
JONAH?"
00:44:35.73\00:44:37.46
HAVE YOU HEARD
THAT STORY ABOUT JONAH?
00:44:37.46\00:44:40.23
YEAH.
00:44:40.23\00:44:40.90
YOU EVER HAVE TROUBLE WITH THAT?
00:44:40.90\00:44:43.10
DID YOU HEAR ABOUT ONE TIME
THERE WAS A LADY WHO WAS RIDING
00:44:43.10\00:44:46.30
ON A CITY BUS AND SHE WAS
READING HER BIBLE AND THERE WAS
00:44:46.30\00:44:49.63
AN ATHEIST STANDING NEXT TO HER.
00:44:49.63\00:44:51.43
AND HE SAID, "YOU
BELIEVE THAT BOOK?"
00:44:51.43\00:44:54.53
SHE SAID, "YES SIR,
ABSOLUTELY, EVERY WORD."
00:44:54.53\00:44:57.16
SAID, "YOU BELIEVE
ALL THE STORIES ARE TRUE?"
00:44:57.16\00:44:59.03
"ABSOLUTELY.
00:44:59.03\00:44:59.70
IT'S THE WORD OF GOD."
00:44:59.70\00:45:01.70
SHE SAID, "DO YOU BELIEVE THAT,"
OR THE MAN SAID TO HER, "DO YOU
00:45:01.70\00:45:04.63
BELIEVE LIKE ADAM AND EVE?
00:45:04.63\00:45:06.50
NOAH AND THE ARK?"
00:45:06.50\00:45:07.36
"YEP."
00:45:07.36\00:45:08.36
"YOU BELIEVE JONAH WAS IN THE
BELLY OF A GREAT FISH FOR THREE
00:45:08.36\00:45:12.60
DAYS AND THREE NIGHTS?"
00:45:12.60\00:45:14.33
SHE SAID, "I BELIEVE IT."
00:45:14.33\00:45:15.93
HE SAID, "HOW COULD HE SURVIVE
IN A FISH DURING THAT TIME?"
00:45:15.93\00:45:20.40
SHE SAID, "I DON'T KNOW.
00:45:20.40\00:45:22.03
WHEN I GET TO HEAVEN,
I GUESS I'LL ASK HIM."
00:45:22.03\00:45:24.66
AND HE SAID, "WELL,
WHAT IF HE'S NOT IN HEAVEN?"
00:45:24.66\00:45:27.00
SHE SAID, "THEN YOU ASK HIM."
00:45:27.00\00:45:28.50
[LAUGHTER] SO...
00:45:28.50\00:45:32.56
[LAUGHTER
CONTINUES] EVERY WORD IS TRUE.
00:45:32.56\00:45:35.16
NOW, THEY'RE TELLING ME WE GOT
ANOTHER TEXT QUESTION THAT CAME
00:45:35.16\00:45:38.20
IN.
00:45:38.20\00:45:39.60
? ? ALL RIGHT.
00:45:39.60\00:45:42.63
HERE'S OUR QUESTION
THAT SOMEONE'S TEXTED.
00:45:42.63\00:45:44.26
WE'RE GETTING HUNDREDS OF TEXT
QUESTIONS, FRIENDS, AND KEEP
00:45:44.26\00:45:45.80
THEM COMING.
00:45:45.80\00:45:46.60
BUT WE JUST HAVE
TO PICK A FEW OF THEM.
00:45:46.60\00:45:48.90
YES.
00:45:52.36\00:45:54.13
THE BIBLE SAYS THAT GOD MADE
EVERYTHING TO BE PERFECT, BUT
00:45:54.13\00:45:57.60
AFTER THE WORLD SINNED, IT SAYS,
"IT GRIEVED THE LORD AT HIS
00:45:57.60\00:46:00.63
HEART," IN
GENESIS, "THAT HE MADE MAN."
00:46:00.63\00:46:03.36
HE SAID, "I'M SORRY ABOUT MAN."
00:46:03.36\00:46:05.03
THE EARTH WAS FULL OF VIOLENCE.
00:46:05.03\00:46:06.36
THE LORD IS
SORRY ABOUT OUR SINS.
00:46:06.36\00:46:08.60
HE'S SORRY ABOUT THE LOST.
00:46:08.60\00:46:10.03
IT'S NOT THAT
HE'S MADE A MISTAKE.
00:46:10.03\00:46:11.86
HE DOESN'T HAVE REGRETS LIKE YOU
AND I MIGHT HAVE REGRETS BECAUSE
00:46:11.86\00:46:14.33
OF OUR SINS; HE IS SORRY ABOUT
THE CHOICES THAT WE HAVE MADE.
00:46:14.33\00:46:18.23
HE REGRETS THOSE THINGS.
00:46:18.23\00:46:19.96
ALL RIGHT.
00:46:19.96\00:46:20.40
WE'RE GONNA MOVE
RIGHT ALONG HERE.
00:46:20.40\00:46:21.60
QUESTION NUMBER EIGHT.
00:46:21.60\00:46:23.30
NOW, WE'RE GONNA SPEND
SOME TIME ON THIS QUESTION.
00:46:28.33\00:46:30.20
THIS IS A VERY IMPORTANT ONE.
00:46:30.20\00:46:31.63
PSALM 119:11.
00:46:31.63\00:46:34.60
HOW DO WE FIGHT
AGAINST SIN AND TEMPTATION?
00:46:42.90\00:46:45.53
HOW -- JESUS WAS OUR EXAMPLE.
00:46:45.53\00:46:47.50
WAS JESUS TEMPTED?
00:46:47.50\00:46:49.46
YOU REMEMBER THE STORY WHERE
THE DEVIL CAME TO TEMPT JESUS?
00:46:49.46\00:46:52.13
ALL THREE TIMES WHEN CHRIST
WAS TEMPTED, WHAT DID HE DO?
00:46:52.13\00:46:55.56
HE SAID, "IT IS WRITTEN,"
AND HE QUOTED SOCRATES.
00:46:55.56\00:47:00.80
NO.
00:47:00.80\00:47:01.56
ARISTOTLE?
00:47:01.56\00:47:02.93
NO.
00:47:02.93\00:47:03.80
BUDDHA?
00:47:03.80\00:47:05.26
NO.
00:47:05.26\00:47:07.16
ALL THREE TIMES,
JESUS QUOTED THE SCRIPTURES.
00:47:07.16\00:47:09.76
IN PARTICULAR, MOSES, THE
BOOK OF DEUTERONOMY: ONE OF MY
00:47:09.76\00:47:13.00
FAVORITE BOOKS.
00:47:13.00\00:47:14.10
AND EVENTUALLY THE DEVIL LEFT
HIM BECAUSE HE COULDN'T FIGHT
00:47:14.10\00:47:18.46
THE WORD OF GOD.
00:47:18.46\00:47:19.73
YOU KNOW, SOMETHING ELSE IS, I
DON'T THINK JESUS PULLED OUT HIS
00:47:19.73\00:47:23.50
CELL PHONE WITH THE BIBLE ON
IT AND SAID, "HANG ON, LUCIFER.
00:47:23.50\00:47:25.26
I THINK I GOT A
VERSE ON THAT SOMEWHERE."
00:47:25.26\00:47:27.70
FURTHERMORE, HE
DIDN'T SAY, "WAIT A SECOND.
00:47:27.73\00:47:29.66
IN MY BACKPACK HERE IN THE
DESERT, I'VE GOT SOME SCROLLS.
00:47:29.66\00:47:31.66
LET ME FIND SOMETHING FOR THAT."
00:47:31.66\00:47:33.53
HE HAD IT IN HIS MIND SO WHEN
00:47:33.53\00:47:35.33
THE DEVIL TEMPTED HIM, HE WAS
ABLE TO RIGHT AWAY, FIRE BACK.
00:47:35.36\00:47:40.00
ARE YOU ABLE TO GIVE AN ANSWER
TO PEOPLE THAT ASK YOU ABOUT
00:47:40.00\00:47:42.20
YOUR FAITH?
00:47:42.20\00:47:43.26
WE NEED TO BE READY.
00:47:43.26\00:47:44.76
AND SO JESUS HAD THE WORD OF GOD
STORED UP IN HIS MIND AND HIS
00:47:44.76\00:47:48.40
HEART, AND THAT'S
HOW YOU FIGHT TEMPTATION.
00:47:48.40\00:47:51.13
WANNA HEAR AN AMAZING FACT?
00:47:51.13\00:47:53.70
BACK IN 1880, THERE WAS A FORGER
WHO HAD BEEN IMPRISONED IN THE
00:47:53.70\00:47:59.46
INFAMOUS SING SING PRISON.
00:47:59.46\00:48:01.06
YOU EVER HEARD ABOUT THAT?
00:48:01.06\00:48:01.76
GOING TO SING SING.
00:48:01.76\00:48:03.36
AND AFTER HE DIED, THE GUARDS
THAT WERE TAKING CARE OF HIS
00:48:03.36\00:48:06.86
PERSONAL EFFECTS, HE USED TO
CARRY SIX STRAIGHT PINS, SEVEN
00:48:06.86\00:48:10.80
STRAIGHT PINS -- SIX SILVER,
ONE GOLD -- IN HIS TOP POCKET.
00:48:10.80\00:48:13.93
HIS NAME WAS A. SCHULER.
00:48:13.93\00:48:15.23
THEY HAVE A NUMBER ON HIM, BUT
THEY DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT THAT
00:48:15.23\00:48:17.33
"A" STOOD FOR.
00:48:17.33\00:48:18.56
WELL, THE GUARD, "SIX SILVER
PINS, ONE GOLD," HE THOUGHT,
00:48:18.56\00:48:21.26
"I'LL KEEP THEM,
JUST KIND OF INTERESTING."
00:48:21.26\00:48:23.00
WELL HE WAS A FORGER AND HE USED
TO COUNTERFEIT MONEY AND ETCH
00:48:23.00\00:48:26.00
PLATES, COUNTERFEIT PLATES.
00:48:26.00\00:48:27.73
AND HE THOUGHT HE
USED THE PINS FOR ETCHING.
00:48:27.73\00:48:29.46
WELL, HE WAS LOOKING AT THEM,
AND HE THOUGHT, "SOMETHING ODD
00:48:29.46\00:48:32.00
ABOUT THE TOP OF
THIS STRAIGHT PIN."
00:48:32.00\00:48:34.60
AND HE LOOKED ON THE TOP AND
HE GOT A MAGNIFYING GLASS, HE
00:48:34.60\00:48:37.33
THOUGHT, "SOMETHING'S THERE."
00:48:37.33\00:48:38.70
AND THEN THEY GOT A MICROSCOPE,
AND THEY LOOKED AT IT.
00:48:38.70\00:48:41.40
THIS IS A PICTURE OF WHAT
WAS ON THE TOP OF THAT PIN THAT
00:48:41.40\00:48:45.23
SCHULER HAD ETCHED.
00:48:45.23\00:48:46.23
THIS IS THE ACTUAL GOLD PIN.
00:48:46.23\00:48:47.73
IT WAS ALMOST PERFECT,
THE ENTIRE LORD'S PRAYER.
00:48:47.73\00:48:52.33
HE WAS IN PRISON, HE HAD A
MAGNIFYING GLASS OR SOMETHING,
00:48:52.33\00:48:55.13
AND HE ETCHED THE ENTIRE LORD'S
PRAYER, I GUESS THERE'S NEARLY
00:48:55.13\00:48:58.86
2,000 MARKS THAT HE HAD TO MAKE
TO GET THAT ON THE HEAD OF A
00:48:58.86\00:49:02.40
PIN.
00:49:02.40\00:49:04.00
NOW, THAT'S INCREDIBLE, BUT I
UNDERSTAND THAT JUST TWO YEARS
00:49:04.00\00:49:08.46
AGO, AN INSTITUTE IN HAIFA,
IN JERUSALEM, THEY MANAGED TO
00:49:08.46\00:49:13.83
TRANSFER THE ENTIRE HEBREW TEXT
OF THE SCRIPTURES ON AN AREA, A
00:49:13.83\00:49:18.93
SILICON CHIP THE
SIZE OF THE HEAD OF A PIN.
00:49:18.93\00:49:21.63
THE ENTIRE OLD TESTAMENT
IN HEBREW, THEY ETCHED IT BY
00:49:21.63\00:49:25.30
FIRING ATOMS AT A GOLD SURFACE.
00:49:25.30\00:49:30.23
THAT'S ACTUALLY IN YOUR
ANSWER BOOKS, THAT AMAZING FACT.
00:49:30.23\00:49:34.50
WELL, YOU KNOW, IT'S NOT GOING
TO SAVE US TO HAVE THE WORD OF
00:49:34.50\00:49:36.30
GOD STORED ON THE HEAD OF
A PIN OR TO HAVE IT IN YOUR
00:49:36.30\00:49:39.56
NIGHTSTAND.
00:49:39.56\00:49:41.70
IT SAYS, "THY WORD I HAVE HIDDEN
IN MY HEART, THAT I MIGHT NOT
00:49:41.70\00:49:44.36
SIN."
00:49:44.36\00:49:45.46
NUMBER NINE:
00:49:45.46\00:49:47.20
ABSOLUTELY.
00:49:53.83\00:49:55.43
ANSWER: 2 CORINTHIANS 5:17.
00:49:55.43\00:49:58.70
NOW, PERHAPS ON ANOTHER NIGHT,
I'LL GIVE YOU A FEW MORE DETAILS
00:50:09.66\00:50:12.06
ON MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE.
00:50:12.06\00:50:14.13
BUT I WAS RAISED, AS I SHARED,
PRETTY MUCH AN AGNOSTIC OR AN
00:50:14.13\00:50:17.13
ATHEIST.
00:50:17.13\00:50:18.56
AND WHEN I WAS 17 YEARS OLD, I
MOVED UP INTO THE MOUNTAINS, AND
00:50:18.56\00:50:22.53
I MOVED INTO A CAVE.
00:50:22.53\00:50:24.53
AND I'D BEEN THROUGH A NUMBER
OF DIFFERENT RELIGIONS TRYING TO
00:50:24.53\00:50:26.90
FIND OUT IF THERE WAS ANY GOD.
00:50:26.90\00:50:28.86
I'D READ WIDELY
ON VARIOUS RELIGIONS.
00:50:28.86\00:50:32.13
I THOUGHT, "WHY READ THE BIBLE?
00:50:32.13\00:50:33.90
THEY'RE ALL HYPOCRITES."
00:50:33.90\00:50:35.56
SOME PEOPLE BLAME PROFESSED
CHRISTIANS FOR THE BIBLE AND A
00:50:35.56\00:50:39.56
LOT OF PEOPLE SAY, "WELL, IF
THAT'S WHAT THE BIBLE TEACHES, I
00:50:39.56\00:50:42.10
DON'T WANT TO READ IT."
00:50:42.10\00:50:43.03
VERY FEW PEOPLE ARE REALLY
LIVING A LIFE OF FOLLOWING THE
00:50:43.03\00:50:47.73
BIBLE.
00:50:47.73\00:50:50.20
SO I STARTED READING THE BIBLE,
QUITE HONESTLY -- THINKING IT
00:50:50.20\00:50:52.33
WAS A BIG FAIRYTALE, A BUNCH OF
FABLES -- SO I COULD ARGUE WITH
00:50:52.33\00:50:55.53
CHRISTIANS.
00:50:55.53\00:50:56.10
I THOUGHT THEY
WERE ALL HYPOCRITES.
00:50:56.10\00:50:58.73
WELL, I GOT BOGGED DOWN IN THE
OLD TESTAMENT, BUT I FOUND IT
00:50:58.73\00:51:00.93
VERY INTERESTING.
00:51:00.93\00:51:02.63
AND THEN I GOT TO THE NEW
TESTAMENT AND I STARTED READING
00:51:02.63\00:51:05.56
ABOUT JESUS.
00:51:05.56\00:51:07.16
AND I READ MATTHEW AND MARK
AND LUKE AND JOHN, AND YOU KNOW?
00:51:07.16\00:51:12.10
IT WAS UNLIKE
ANYTHING I'D EVER READ BEFORE.
00:51:12.10\00:51:14.56
NOW, I WAS JUST KIND OF A
REAL WILD HIPPIE, LIVING IN THE
00:51:14.56\00:51:18.90
MOUNTAINS.
00:51:18.90\00:51:20.26
I MEAN, I WAS
JUST WAY OUT THERE.
00:51:20.26\00:51:22.86
I'LL TELL YOU MORE ABOUT
THAT LATER, BUT SOMETHING ABOUT
00:51:22.86\00:51:25.66
THESE WORDS WERE
CHANGING ME ON THE INSIDE.
00:51:25.66\00:51:29.03
AND I WENT TO THE ENCYCLOPEDIA
AND THEY SAID, "YEAH, JESUS
00:51:29.03\00:51:32.03
REALLY LIVED."
00:51:32.03\00:51:33.90
AND I THOUGHT, "WELL, EITHER
JESUS WAS... HE WAS A LIAR, AS
00:51:33.90\00:51:38.36
C.S. LEWIS SAID, OR HE WAS
A LUNATIC OR HE WAS THE LORD."
00:51:38.36\00:51:46.16
BUT HE HAD TO BE ONE OF THOSE.
00:51:46.16\00:51:48.80
AND I FINALLY SAID, "LOOK,
I'VE TRIED EVERYTHING ELSE.
00:51:48.80\00:51:52.20
IF THE BIBLE'S TRUE,
LORD, HELP ME TO KNOW THAT."
00:51:52.20\00:51:55.43
AND THEN ALL, THE MOST AMAZING
THINGS BEGAN TO HAPPEN IN MY
00:51:55.43\00:51:58.40
LIFE, AND I WOULD READ SOMETHING
IN THE BIBLE AND I'D CLAIM THE
00:51:58.40\00:52:02.50
PROMISE AND I'D
SEE MIRACLES HAPPENING.
00:52:02.50\00:52:05.26
AND THE MOST IMPORTANT
MIRACLE: IT CHANGED ME.
00:52:05.26\00:52:08.93
THERE'S POWER IN THE WORD THAT
IS UNLIKE ANY OTHER POWER, AND
00:52:08.93\00:52:11.70
IT'S GOT THE TESTIMONY
OF CHANGED LIVES ALL THROUGH
00:52:11.70\00:52:14.33
HISTORY.
00:52:14.33\00:52:16.33
YOU KNOW, YOU CAN READ
IN QUESTION NUMBER 10 HERE:
00:52:16.33\00:52:21.43
WELL, THE ONLY WAY YOU'RE GOING
TO EXPERIENCE THAT IS BY TAKING
00:52:30.43\00:52:33.13
IT IN.
00:52:33.13\00:52:34.53
AND AS YOU TAKE IT IN,
SOMETHING WILL BE TRANSFORMED.
00:52:34.53\00:52:37.76
YOU KNOW, THERE'S A VERSE
IN THE BIBLE AND IT SAYS...
00:52:37.76\00:52:40.03
NOBODY CAN DO IT FOR YOU.
00:52:48.03\00:52:49.66
YOU NEED TO DO IT FOR YOURSELF.
00:52:49.66\00:52:52.70
YOU KNOW, MY FATHER HAS A...
00:52:52.70\00:52:57.80
HE USED TO HAVE A COUPLE OF
AIRLINES ACTUALLY AND HE HAD A
00:52:57.80\00:53:00.16
LOT OF JETS.
00:53:00.16\00:53:02.03
NOW, MY BROTHER STARTED A CAMP
IN THE FLORIDA KEYS FOR KIDS
00:53:02.03\00:53:04.73
WITH CYSTIC FIBROSIS.
00:53:04.73\00:53:06.66
AND SO ONE YEAR, MY FATHER
DONATED A LIFE RAFT OFF ONE OF
00:53:06.66\00:53:10.66
THE JETS FOR THE
KIDS TO PLAY WITH.
00:53:10.66\00:53:13.20
IT HAD EXPIRED ITS DATE, SO HE
DONATED IT BECAUSE IT WAS STILL
00:53:13.20\00:53:15.76
GOOD.
00:53:15.76\00:53:17.26
AND THEY TOOK IT DOWN TO THE
FLORIDA KEYS, THE BEACH, ALL THE
00:53:17.26\00:53:20.10
KIDS CAME OUT TO THE WATER, AND
THEY PULLED THIS CORD AND ALL
00:53:20.10\00:53:23.16
THESE CO2 CARTRIDGES BEGAN TO
EXPLODE AND TO FILL UP THE RAFT.
00:53:23.16\00:53:26.13
IT'S REALLY FUN TO
WATCH, BECAUSE YOU... [IMITATES
00:53:26.13\00:53:27.80
INFLATING, UNFOLDING NOISES]
AND IT BEGINS TO FLOP OPEN AND
00:53:27.80\00:53:31.33
IT'S ALL AUTOMATIC.
00:53:31.33\00:53:32.80
AND PRETTY SOON, YOU'VE GOT THIS
GREAT BIG ROUND, IT'S FOUR RINGS
00:53:32.80\00:53:37.66
OF TUBES AND THERE'S A LINING
BETWEEN THEM, SO NO MATTER HOW
00:53:37.66\00:53:41.26
IT LANDS IN THE
OCEAN, IT'S RIGHT SIDE UP.
00:53:41.26\00:53:43.80
IT'S GOT THIS
SAFETY FEATURE TO IT.
00:53:43.80\00:53:45.83
AND THE KIDS ALL GOT IN
THERE AND THEY JUMPED AROUND.
00:53:45.83\00:53:47.63
WE WANTED THEM TO PLAY AND
EXERCISE AND THAT WAS GREAT.
00:53:47.63\00:53:49.86
AND THEN ONE OF THE KIDS CAME
BACK AND HE SAID, "PASTOR DOUG,
00:53:49.86\00:53:52.46
THERE'S SOMETHING OUT THERE
IN THE MIDDLE THAT WE'RE GETTING
00:53:52.46\00:53:54.56
HURT WHEN WE JUMP ON IT."
00:53:54.56\00:53:55.66
IT WAS THE SURVIVAL GEAR.
00:53:55.66\00:53:57.73
WE FORGOT TO TAKE THE
SURVIVAL GEAR OUT OF THE MIDDLE.
00:53:57.73\00:54:00.13
KIDS WERE BOUNCING AROUND
AND HITTING THIS PACK IN THE
00:54:00.13\00:54:01.96
MIDDLE.
00:54:01.96\00:54:02.66
SO I WENT AND I SAID, "WELL, LET
ME GET THAT OUT OF THERE," AND I
00:54:02.66\00:54:04.70
UNZIPPED THE POUCH AND I PULLED
OUT ALL THE SURVIVAL GEAR.
00:54:04.70\00:54:08.26
NOW SOMEBODY AT THE F.A.A.
00:54:08.26\00:54:09.43
SOMEWHERE DID SOME RESEARCH TO
FIND OUT, "WHAT DO PEOPLE NEED
00:54:09.43\00:54:12.90
WHEN THEY'RE LOST AT SEA?"
00:54:12.90\00:54:15.23
WELL, THEY HAD SOME VITAMINS.
00:54:15.23\00:54:18.96
THEY HAD FISHING GEAR, BECAUSE
YOU NEED FOOD TO STAY ALIVE.
00:54:18.96\00:54:22.26
THEY HAD A WATER DISTILLING KIT,
SO YOU COULD TURN SALTWATER --
00:54:22.26\00:54:25.63
IT WAS REALLY NEAT
-- INTO FRESH WATER.
00:54:25.63\00:54:28.26
THEY HAD A BATTERY SO WHEN THAT
WHEN YOU DROPPED IT INTO THE
00:54:28.26\00:54:30.30
WATER, IT WOULD BE ACTIVATED AND
START TO FLASH A LOCATOR BEACON.
00:54:30.30\00:54:34.23
IT'S FASCINATING.
00:54:34.23\00:54:35.70
THEY HAD A PATCH KIT, BECAUSE
THEY FOUND THAT LADIES WOULD
00:54:35.70\00:54:38.13
JUMP FROM THE AIRPLANE INTO THE
RAFT WITH THEIR HIGH HEELS ON,
00:54:38.13\00:54:40.76
POKE A HOLE IN IT.
00:54:40.76\00:54:41.70
[LAUGHTER] SO YOU
HAD TO HAVE A PATCH KIT.
00:54:41.70\00:54:44.30
AND AS I'M PULLING OUT ALL THIS
SURVIVAL GEAR, MY HEART BEGAN TO
00:54:44.30\00:54:48.16
BEAT BECAUSE I THOUGHT,
"IS THAT WHAT I THOUGHT?"
00:54:48.16\00:54:52.00
I PULL OUT, THERE'S A BOOK, BUT
IT DIDN'T LOOK LIKE A FIRST AID
00:54:52.00\00:54:54.80
MANUAL.
00:54:54.80\00:54:55.90
IT WAS A BIBLE.
00:54:55.90\00:54:57.90
AND I'M KIND OF LOOKING AROUND,
I'M GOING, "THERE MUST BE A
00:54:57.90\00:55:02.26
CHRISTIAN THAT WORKS AT THE
FACTORY SOMEWHERE WHERE THEY
00:55:02.26\00:55:05.00
MAKE THESE THINGS
AND STICKING BIBLES IN.
00:55:05.00\00:55:07.56
I DON'T WANT TO
GET THEM IN TROUBLE."
00:55:07.56\00:55:09.93
AND I CAME TO FIND OUT THAT THEY
WERE PUTTING BIBLES IN ALL THE
00:55:09.93\00:55:12.66
LIFE RAFTS -- SOMEONE'S GONNA
HEAR THIS PROGRAM AND STOP IT.
00:55:12.66\00:55:16.00
BUT THEY WERE PUTTING BIBLES IN
ALL THE LIFE RAFTS, ON ALL THE
00:55:16.00\00:55:18.86
JETS THAT PEOPLE FLEW.
00:55:18.86\00:55:20.03
YOU KNOW WHY?
00:55:20.03\00:55:21.76
BECAUSE THEY HAD SO MUCH
EVIDENCE THAT PEOPLE THROUGH
00:55:21.76\00:55:24.13
HISTORY NEEDED THEM TO SURVIVE.
00:55:24.13\00:55:27.10
YOU KNOW, RIGHT NOW AS WE SPEAK,
THEY'VE GOT SOME CHILEAN MINERS
00:55:28.30\00:55:32.06
THAT HAVE BEEN TRAPPED
2,800 FEET BELOW GROUND.
00:55:32.06\00:55:35.83
AND I UNDERSTAND THAT THEY
FINALLY BROKE THROUGH AND GOT TO
00:55:35.83\00:55:38.73
THEM.
00:55:38.73\00:55:39.70
YOU KNOW, ONE OF THE THINGS THEY
ASKED FOR, ABOUT A MONTH AGO?
00:55:39.70\00:55:42.86
THEY SAID,
"SEND US SOME BIBLES."
00:55:42.86\00:55:45.36
MATTER OF FACT, SOME MEMBERS
OF OUR CHURCH GOT SOME MINIATURE
00:55:45.36\00:55:47.90
SPANISH BIBLES, AND THEY SENT
THEM DOWN THAT 6 OR 8-INCH TUBE.
00:55:47.90\00:55:52.00
AND THEY SAID,
"THIS HAS GIVEN US HOPE.
00:55:52.00\00:55:54.33
THIS HAS GIVEN US FAITH."
00:55:54.33\00:55:57.10
WELL, WHAT ARE YOU
GONNA WAIT FOR, FRIENDS?
00:55:57.10\00:55:58.40
GET STUCK OUT IN THE OCEAN,
FLOATING AROUND, LOOKING FOR
00:55:58.40\00:56:01.03
SURVIVAL GEAR?
00:56:01.03\00:56:02.50
UNTIL YOU'RE 2,000 FEET BELOW
THE GROUND BEFORE YOU REALIZE
00:56:03.86\00:56:07.43
THAT WE NEED THE
BIBLE TO GET US OUT ALIVE?
00:56:07.43\00:56:11.26
GOD IS TRYING TO
GET OUR ATTENTION.
00:56:11.26\00:56:12.96
HE SENT US AN INSPIRED
MESSAGE IN THIS BLESSED BOOK.
00:56:12.96\00:56:17.26
AND SOME OF YOU MAY HAVE
QUESTIONS, MORE QUESTIONS, ABOUT
00:56:17.26\00:56:19.90
THE BIBLE.
00:56:19.90\00:56:20.50
THAT'S WHY WE'RE
HAVING THESE PROGRAMS.
00:56:20.50\00:56:22.13
WE WANT YOUR QUESTIONS.
00:56:22.13\00:56:23.33
BUT I WANT YOU TO KNOW, THE
BIBLE IS THE LIVING WORD OF GOD.
00:56:23.33\00:56:26.60
IT WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE.
00:56:26.60\00:56:28.60
JESUS WILL SPEAK TO YOUR HEARTS.
