08:07 >> GOOD QUESTION. 08:08 NOW THIS IS A DIFFICULT QUESTION TO ANSWER WELL QUICKLY. 08:14 FIRST OF ALL, TRANSLATIONS ARE DIFFERENT FROM THE ORIGINAL 08:17 TEXT. 08:18 JUST IN ENGLISH, THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF TRANSLATIONS. 08:21 I COULD, HEAVEN FORBID, HAVE ONE CALLED THE BATCHELOR BIBLE. 08:24 AND ANYONE CAN TAKE SOME OF THE ORIGINAL GREEK AND HEBREW AND 08:27 ARAMAIC AND MAKE THEIR OWN TRANSLATION IF YOU SPEAK THOSE 08:31 LANGUAGES INTO ANOTHER LANGUAGE. 08:33 I GUESS THE BIG QUESTION IS NOT ONLY -- BECAUSE THERE ARE SOME 08:36 TRANSLATIONS BETTER THAN OTHERS. 08:38 BUT HOW DO WE KNOW THAT THE ORIGINAL TEXT CAN BE 08:42 TRUSTWORTHY? 08:44 YOU KNOW, THE ONE THING THAT COMES TO ME IS THE DEAD SEA 08:48 SCROLLS WERE ONE OF THE MOST INCREDIBLE FINDS OF MODERN 08:53 HISTORY. 08:54 THERE WAS A YOUNG BOY WATCHING GOATS, 1948, AND LOOKING FOR 09:00 SOME STRAY GOATS, THROWING ROCKS AS BOYS DO. 09:03 HE THREW A ROCK NOT FAR FROM EIN GEDI DOWN BY THE DEAD SEA 09:07 UP IN WHAT HE THOUGHT WAS JUST AN EMPTY CAVE UP ON A LEDGE, AND 09:10 HE HEARD A CRASHING SOUND OF POTTERY. 09:12 AND ON INVESTIGATION THEY FOUND THESE BOWLS THAT WERE FILLED 09:16 WITH ALL THESE ANCIENT SCROLLS. 09:18 WELL, EVENTUALLY THEY FOUND OUT, AFTER THEY TORE SOME OF THEM UP 09:21 AND SOLD THEM TO ANTIQUE DEALERS, THAT THEY WERE COPIES 09:24 THAT WERE LIKE 2,000 YEARS OLD OF THE BIBLE, THE SCRIPTURES. 09:29 WELL, NOW THEY'RE HOUSED IN A MUSEUM CALLED THE SCROLL OF THE 09:32 BOOK MUSEUM IN ISRAEL. 09:35 I'VE BEEN THERE A COUPLE OF TIMES. 09:37 IT'S UNDER THREE FEET OF REINFORCED CONCRETE TO AVOID A 09:39 TERRORIST ATTACK BECAUSE IT'S THE GREATEST TREASURE THAT THE 09:43 JEWISH NATION HAS: THEIR SCRIPTURES. 09:46 NOW, I KNOW MY BIBLE PRETTY WELL. 09:49 AND WHEN I WENT TO THAT MUSEUM I HAD A GUIDE THAT WAS VERY WELL 09:53 TRAINED TO BE A TOUR GUIDE THERE. 09:55 THEY HAVE A LOT OF THOROUGH TRAINING. 09:57 AND WE WENT UP TO THE ISAIAH SCROLL, AND I JUST PICKED A 10:00 PLACE ON THE SCROLL, AND I SAID, "CAN YOU READ THAT?" 10:03 AND HE SAID, "WELL, IT'S LIKE YOU AND I READING VERY OLD 10:05 ENGLISH." 10:07 HE SAYS, "I CAN." 10:08 AND SO I PICKED A PLACE ON THE SCROLL. 10:09 I SAID, "READ THAT TO ME." 10:11 AND HE STARTED TO READ THE STORY OF HEZEKIAH AND SENNACHERIB 10:15 AND WHAT HAPPENS THERE IN THE BIBLE. 10:17 AND IT WAS JUST LIKE OUR BIBLE TODAY. 10:20 AND SO I THINK WITH GREAT CONFIDENCE, WE CAN KNOW THAT 10:23 EVEN OVER THE LAST 2,000 YEARS THAT GOD HAS DONE SOMETHING 10:27 MIRACULOUS TO PRESERVE THE INTEGRITY AND ACCURACY OF THE 10:32 SCRIPTURES. 10:32 SO YES, THE BIBLES THAT WE HAVE ARE ACCURATE REFLECTIONS OF THE 10:36 ORIGINAL MESSAGE. 10:38 >> AMEN. 10:39 WELL, THAT WAS AN IMPORTANT QUESTION. 10:40 OUR NEXT QUESTION IS A TEXT QUESTION AND WE'LL PUT THAT UP 10:42 ON THE SCREEN. 10:44 ♪ ♪ 10:53 >> WELL, FIRST OF ALL, I THINK THE LORD HAS PLANTED ETERNITY IN 10:56 EVERYBODY'S HEARTS. 10:58 AND THERE'S SOMETHING WITHIN US THAT FEELS A YEARNING THAT'S 11:01 NEVER SATISFIED WITHOUT GOD. 11:03 VERY QUICKLY, WE ARE ALL SIN-O-HOLICS. 11:07 WE'RE ALL ADDICTED. 11:08 WE'RE ALL SELFISH, AND THAT'S WHERE SIN COMES FROM. 11:11 AND WE'RE LOOKING FOR SOMETHING TO SATISFY. 11:15 AND IT'S THROUGH A RELATIONSHIP WITH THE LORD THAT WE ULTIMATELY 11:18 FIND THAT SATISFACTION. 11:20 NOW, YOU DEVELOP A TASTE FOR WHAT YOU EAT. 11:25 AND WHENEVER I GO TO INDIA, THEY EAT A LOT OF CURRY AND THEY LIKE 11:28 CURRY. 11:29 YOU KNOW WHY THEY LIKE CURRY?

14:52 THE OLD TESTAMENT IS ALL ABOUT GOD'S JUDGMENT, GOD'S WRATH, 14:55 GOD'S DESTRUCTION, AND THE NEW TESTAMENT IS ALL ABOUT LOVE AND 14:58 GRACE. 14:58 HOW COME THE BIG SWITCH? 15:04 >> I'M GLAD WE INCLUDED THAT QUESTION. 15:07 THAT I THINK IS A COMMON FEELING THAT SOME PEOPLE HAVE. 15:10 OLD TESTAMENT, THERE'S A LOVING GOD. 15:12 I'M SORRY, OLD TESTAMENT: WRATHFUL GOD, JUDGMENTS, WAR, 15:16 DEATH. 15:17 NEW TESTAMENT: JESUS, LITTLE CHILDREN, LOVE, BLESSING. 15:22 YOU KNOW, THAT'S REALLY A MYTH. 15:24 YOU KNOW WHERE YOU FIND THE MOST FEARFUL PLAGUES AND CURSES IN 15:27 THE BIBLE? 15:29 READ REVELATION 14: "IF ANY MANY RECEIVES THE MARK OF THE BEAST 15:32 AND WORSHIPS HIS IMAGE, THE WINE OF GOD'S WRATH IS GONNA BE 15:35 POURED OUT WITHOUT INDIGNATION INTO THE CUP UNMINGLED WITH 15:39 MERCY." 15:40 AND IT'S JUST REALLY SCARY. 15:41 YOU LOOK AT THE PLAGUES, BLOOD AND HEAT AND NOISOME SOARS. 15:46 IT'S THE NEW TESTAMENT. 15:48 PAUL PRONOUNCES A CURSE ON ANYONE WHO ALTERS THE GOSPEL. 15:52 YOU KNOW, EVEN THE GREATEST TORTURE THAT YOU FIND IN THE 15:56 BIBLE HAPPENS IN THE NEW TESTAMENT TO JESUS. 16:00 THE OLD TESTAMENT DOES RECORD WARS AND THINGS LIKE THAT, BUT 16:03 IT'S ALSO IN THE OLD TESTAMENT WHERE IT FIRST SAYS "LOVE YOUR 16:06 NEIGHBOR. 16:08 "LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL OF YOUR HEART." 16:10 OUR GOD IS A COMPASSIONATE GOD. 16:13 "IF YOU'LL SEARCH FOR ME WITH ALL OF YOUR HEART, YOU'LL FIND 16:15 ME." 16:16 YOU FIND SO MANY WONDERFUL -- "THE LORD IS MY SHEPHERD." 16:20 AND SO IT DEPENDS ON WHAT SECTIONS YOU'RE READING. 16:24 BUT REALLY, THE MESSAGE BETWEEN THE NEW AND THE OLD TESTAMENT IS 16:26 VERY UNIFORM. 16:28 TEN PERCENT OF EVERYTHING JESUS SAID, HE'S QUOTING THE OLD 16:31 TESTAMENT. 16:32 SO JESUS WAS VERY MUCH AN OLD TESTAMENT CHARACTER. 16:36 AND JESUS APPEARS IN THE OLD TESTAMENT IN MANY WAYS. 16:40 AND MAYBE WE'LL HAVE TIME TO TALK ABOUT THAT LATER. 16:42 >> ALL RIGHT. 16:43 WELL, THANK YOU, PASTOR DOUG. 16:44 AGAIN, FRIENDS, IF YOU HAVE A BIBLE QUESTION, YOU CAN GO AHEAD 16:46 AND SEND US A TEXT MESSAGE. 16:48 THE NUMBER FOR TEXTING YOUR BIBLE QUESTION IS... 16:51 760-5-AFACTS. 16:54 THAT'S 760-523-2278. 16:59 >> OFF-SCREEN: 8-7! 17:00 >> 8-7. 17:00 2-2-8-7, THANK YOU. 17:02 AND WE'LL TRY TO GET AS MANY 17:03 QUESTIONS AS WE CAN ON THE PROGRAM. 17:06 WELL, WITH THAT, PASTOR DOUG, WE'LL TURN THE TIME OVER TO YOU. 17:08 >> THANK YOU VERY MUCH, PASTOR ROSS. 17:09 IT WOULD SEEM FAIR TO ME THAT IF YOU GET 90% OF THE TEXT NUMBERS 17:12 RIGHT, IT STILL OUGHT TO WORK, RIGHT? 17:14 DOESN'T WORK THAT WAY. 17:16 WE'RE GOING TO GET INTO OUR PRESENTATION FOR TONIGHT RIGHT 17:18 AWAY. 17:20 AND IT'S DEALING WITH THE SUBJECT, "CAN I TRUST THE 17:23 BIBLE?" 17:24 THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT PRESENTATIONS, BECAUSE 17:26 IT'S REALLY FOUNDATIONAL TO ALL THE OTHER BIG QUESTIONS ABOUT 17:30 GOD... 17:31 ABOUT LIFE AND EVOLUTION AND CREATION AND OUR BODIES AND 17:35 GOD'S WILL FOR US. 17:36 THE BIBLE IS THE FOUNDATION FOR ALL OF THIS. 17:39 SO UNDERSTANDING THIS SUBJECT AND THE IMPORTANCE OF THE BIBLE 17:44 IS GONNA WEIGH VERY HEAVILY ON GIVING DIRECTION TO EVERYTHING 17:47 ELSE WE'RE PRESENTING DURING THIS EVENT. 17:50 QUESTION NUMBER ONE IN THE LESSON... 18:01 NOW, I USED TO BELIEVE THAT. 18:02 THAT'S WHAT I WAS TAUGHT GROWING UP: THAT THE BIBLE WAS A FAIRY 18:05 TALE. 18:06 GOING TO THE BIBLE, WHAT DOES IT SAY ABOUT ITSELF? 18:10 2 TIMOTHY 3:16... 18:12 "ALL SCRIPTURE" -- HOW MUCH? 18:14 "ALL SCRIPTURE" -- BY THE WAY, WHEN TIMOTHY WROTE 18:16 THIS, WAS THERE A NEW TESTAMENT YET? 18:18 NO. 18:19 SO WHEN PAUL WRITES THIS IN TIMOTHY, HE'S PRINCIPALLY 18:22 SPEAKING OF THE OLD TESTAMENT, BUT OF COURSE, IT BECAME 18:25 SCRIPTURE. 18:27 PETER REFERS TO PAUL'S WRITINGS AS SCRIPTURE. 18:31 "ALL SCRIPTURE IS GIVEN BY INSPIRATION OF GOD AND IS 18:34 PROFITABLE." 18:35 HEY, LET ME TALK TO YOU ABOUT SOMETHING REAL QUICK. 18:39 I'LL BE BACK. 18:42 NOW, THIS IS AN OLD CUMBERSOME ONE. 18:45 THIS IS A G.P.S., AND I WON'T TURN IT ON RIGHT NOW. 18:51 BUT I THINK EVERYBODY KNOWS HOW THESE WORK. 18:53 PEOPLE HAVE THEM ON THEIR iPHONES NOW. 18:56 THEY'VE GOT THEM ON ALL THEIR DIFFERENT MOBILE DEVICES. 18:59 I'VE BEEN A PILOT FOR ABOUT 25 YEARS, AND I'VE GOT TWO OF THESE 19:03 IN MY PLANE, BECAUSE DRIVING, YOU KNOW, YOU RUN OUT OF GAS, 19:08 YOU PULL OVER, YOU CALL AAA. 19:09 YOU DON'T DO THAT WITH AN AIRPLANE; IT'S VERY UNFORGIVING. 19:12 YOU WANNA KNOW WHERE YOU ARE AT ALL TIMES. 19:15 AND SO, THESE THINGS ARE FASCINATING BECAUSE WHEN YOU 19:18 FIRST STUDY TO BE A PILOT, ORIGINALLY, THEY MADE YOU DO 19:21 WIND VARIATIONS AND YOU HAD THESE LITTLE CHARTS AND THINGS 19:24 THAT YOU CALIBRATE FOR AND V.O.R.s. 19:27 AND PILOTS ARE SUPPOSED TO ALL KNOW THAT. 19:30 BUT YOU KNOW WHAT MOST PILOTS ARE DEPENDING ON NOW? 19:33 AND EVEN MOST AIRPORTS ARE ACCEPTING WHAT THEY CALL A 19:35 G.P.S. NAVIGATION, WHERE IT USED TO BE YOU HAD TO USE ALL THE 19:37 OTHER METHODS OF INSTRUMENT FLIGHT. 19:40 BUT I KEEP THIS IN MY CAR. 19:44 WHEN IT PICKS UP SATELLITES, IT GETS TWO OR THREE SATELLITES, IT 19:47 TELLS YOU WHERE YOU ARE. 19:49 AND IT'S NOT ANY ONE SATELLITE. 19:52 YOU CAN'T GET A READING. 19:53 EVEN ANY TWO SATELLITES. 19:56 YOU NEED TO TRIANGULATE WITH AT LEAST THREE SATELLITES BEFORE 19:59 YOU CAN START TO PINPOINT WHERE YOU ARE ON THE GROUND. 20:03 MORE SATELLITES, YOU CAN NOT ONLY TELL WHERE YOU ARE ON THE 20:05 MAP, YOU CAN TELL WHAT YOUR ELEVATION IS. 20:07 YOU WANT AS MANY SATELLITES AS POSSIBLE TO MAKE SURE YOU CAN 20:11 PINPOINT WHERE YOU ARE AND WHERE YOU'RE GOING. 20:14 IT'LL TELL YOU HOW FAST YOU'RE GOING, IT'LL TELL YOU WHEN 20:16 YOU'RE GOING TO ARRIVE. 20:17 IT TELLS YOU WHAT YOUR DESCENT SPEED IT. 20:19 VERY, VERY IMPORTANT PIECE OF NAVIGATION. 20:22 THE BIBLE IN A SENSE PROVIDES THAT INFORMATION, BUT YOU ARRIVE 20:26 AT THE TRUTH BY COMPARING SCRIPTURE WITH SCRIPTURE. 20:30 AND SO IT GIVES YOU THE WHOLE PICTURE OF WHERE YOU'RE GOING. 20:34 YOU KNOW, IN YOUR LESSON BOOKS, THE M.I.Q. ANSWER BOOKS, 20:38 SOMETHING VERY INCREDIBLE HAPPENED YEARS AGO WHEN PEOPLE 20:41 WANTED TO GO FROM POINT A. TO POINT B. 20:43 THEY HAD TO USE THE STARS AND THEY'D CHART THEIR POSITION BY 20:46 THE STARS, OR THE SUN OR THE MOON. 20:50 BUT THEY DEVELOPED SOMETHING THAT THEY PUT ON SUBMARINES 20:53 CALLED AN INTERNAL GYRO NAVIGATION SYSTEM. 20:58 AND IT ALLOWED THE U.S. 20:59 NAUTILUS, IN 1958, TO GO UNDER THE POLAR ICE IN THE ARCTIC. 21:05 NOW, CAN YOU IMAGINE NO SATELLITES? 21:08 NO SUN, MOON AND STARS? 21:09 FOUR DAYS UNDER THE ICE, THEY CROSSED UNDER THE NORTH POLE. 21:14 166 MEN. 21:16 WHAT WOULD'VE HAPPENED IF THEY LOST THEIR POSITION? 21:18 THEY'RE IN DARKNESS, ALL THEY'VE GOT IS THIS ONE UNIT THAT IS 21:21 TELLING THEM WHERE THEY'RE GOING. 21:23 IF THEY HAD A MECHANICAL PROBLEM, AT THE SURFACE THEY 21:24 WERE DOOMED. 21:26 BUT THEY DID IT, THEY WENT ALL THE WAY ACROSS, UNDERNEATH. 21:29 BECAUSE THEY HAD AN INTERNAL GYRO NAVIGATION SYSTEM. 21:34 SO HAVING THE COMBINATION OF THE TEXT OF THE SCRIPTURE AND GOD'S 21:40 SPIRIT IS GONNA GIVE YOU DIRECTION IN YOUR LIFE. 21:45 WE NEED BOTH FACETS IN ORDER TO UNDERSTAND WHAT IS THE TRUTH. 21:49 PRINCIPALLY THE WORD OF GOD -- BY THE WAY, THE HOLY SPIRIT WILL 21:53 NEVER TELL YOU ANYTHING CONTRARY TO WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS. 21:58 JESUS SAID, "WHEN THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH HAS COME, HE WILL LEAD 22:01 YOU INTO ALL TRUTH." 22:03 ALL RIGHT, QUESTION NUMBER 2: 22:11 ISAIAH 42:8-9, IT SAYS... 22:22 AND THEN IT GOES ON TO SAY... 22:27 GOD IN HIS WORD TELLS US IN ADVANCE WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN. 22:30 YOU THINK ABOUT WHAT'S INVOLVED IN A PROPHECY BEING GIVEN IN 22:35 ADVANCE. 22:37 I MEAN, IF ONE LITTLE DETAIL OF WHAT'S GOING ON IN THIS ROOM 22:40 RIGHT NOW WERE TO CHANGE -- ANYTHING FROM JUST YOUR SHIFT IN 22:45 YOUR BODY -- HOW THAT'S GOING TO INTER-REACT WITH THE OTHER ATOMS 22:48 AROUND YOU... 22:50 IT CREATES A CHAIN REACTION. 22:51 EVERYONE AROUND YOU. 22:52 IT'S GOING TO MAKE ALL OF HISTORY DIFFERENT FOREVER. 22:56 JUST HOW YOU SIT AND HOW YOU MOVE RIGHT NOW. 22:58 ESPECIALLY IF YOU'RE ON CAMERA, RIGHT? 23:01 [LAUGHTER] HOW CAN GOD PREDICT THOUSANDS 23:04 OF YEARS IN ADVANCE WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN? 23:08 AND YET, THERE'S THOUSANDS OF PROPHECIES IN THE BIBLE WHERE 23:11 GOD PINPOINTED EXACTLY WHAT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN. 23:14 ONE EXAMPLE, A PROPHET CAME ALONG; HE FORETOLD KING JOSIAH 23:17 YEARS BEFORE HE WAS BORN, BY NAME, SAID WHAT HIS NAME 23:21 WOULD BE, THAT HE WOULD EXHUME THESE COUNTERFEIT PRIESTS, 23:25 HE WOULD BURN THEIR BONES ON THEIR FALSE ALTARS THAT THEY 23:27 HAD BUILT UP. 23:28 EVERYTHING THAT WAS FORETOLD BY THE PROPHET HAPPENED. 23:32 KING JOSIAH CAME AND DID EXACTLY WHAT HE SAID. 23:34 HOW COULD GOD FORETELL THAT? 23:36 WELL YOU KNOW, ONE OF THE FAVORITE PROPHECIES FOR 23:39 EVANGELISTS IS THEY TAKE THE CHAPTER TWO IN THE BIBLE, 23:42 WHERE IT TALKS ABOUT DANIEL. 23:44 AND NEBUCHADNEZZAR HAS THIS DREAM AND IT TELLS ABOUT THE 23:48 KINGDOMS OF THE WORLD THAT WOULD BE OUTLINED FROM THE TIME OF 23:52 DANIEL, WHEN BABYLON WAS RULING, UP UNTIL THE PRESENT DAY. 23:56 NOW, WHO CAN FORETELL THAT? 23:57 I MEAN, IT WAS EASY TO SAY BABYLON WOULD BE A WORLD POWER. 24:01 AND THIS DREAM WAS GIVEN IN THE FORM OF AN IMAGE. 24:03 THEY WERE ALL INVOLVED IN IDOLATRY BACK THEN AND THEY 24:06 WOULD SOMETIMES WORSHIP IDOLS OF GOLD OR IDOLS OF SILVER, 24:08 IDOLS OF BRONZE OR STONE OR WHATEVER. 24:11 THIS IDOL HAD ALL THE METALS IN ONE. 24:14 STARTING WITH GOLD, ENDING WITH IRON AND CLAY. 24:18 AND DANIEL SAID, "THOSE DIFFERENT METALS REPRESENT THE 24:21 DIFFERENT WORLD KINGDOMS THAT ARE GOING TO OCCUPY GOD'S 24:24 PEOPLE." 24:25 IT WASN'T ALL THE KINGDOMS IN THE WORLD, BUT THE ONES THAT 24:27 WOULD DIRECTLY INFLUENCE AND OCCUPY WHERE THE PEOPLE OF GOD 24:30 WERE WORKING. 24:32 HE SAID, "FIRST THERE WILL BE BABYLON." 24:33 AND THEN IT NAMES THE OTHERS IN DANIEL. 24:36 IT SAYS, "THEN MEDO PERSIA. 24:38 THEN GREECE." 24:39 IT MENTIONS UP TO GREECE. 24:40 THEN IT TALKED ABOUT THIS IRON KINGDOM. 24:43 THEN THAT THAT IRON KINGDOM OF ROME WOULD BE DIVIDED INTO WHAT 24:48 ENDED UP HAPPENING IN HISTORY: THE DIVISIONS OF EUROPE. 24:51 EVERYTHING THAT HAD FORETOLD HAS HAPPENED. 24:53 AND THEN LATER IN THE VISION, IT SAYS THE NEXT THING. 24:56 A STONE CUT WITHOUT MAN'S HANDS FROM A MOUNTAIN COMES DOWN AND 24:59 SMITES THE IMAGE. 25:00 AND IT IS PULVERIZED, AND THE STONE GROWS INTO A MOUNTAIN, 25:04 FILLS THE WHOLE EARTH, REPRESENTING JESUS, THE ROCK OF 25:06 AGES... 25:07 JESUS, THE WORD... 25:09 THAT WOULD FILL THE WHOLE EARTH. 25:11 EVERYTHING IN THE VISION HAS HAPPENED SO FAR. 25:14 WHY WOULD WE DOUBT THAT THE LAST PART IS GOING TO HAPPEN? 25:17 SO, THE PROPHECIES IN THE BIBLE DO COME TRUE, AND THEY'RE 25:20 EXTREMELY ACCURATE. 25:22 NOW, SOME PEOPLE READ THE BIBLE THE WAY THAT YOU MIGHT, YOU 25:26 KNOW... 25:28 [GIGGLES] GET FORTUNE COOKIES. 25:30 I HAD AN INTERESTING EXPERIENCE ONE DAY. 25:32 WHERE, I BOUGHT A QUAD, AN A.T.V., ON CRAIG'S LIST. 25:38 IT WAS A GREAT DEAL. 25:39 I GOT A BUDDY TO HELP ME TRANSPORT IT. 25:42 I SAID, "LET ME BUY YOU LUNCH." 25:45 WENT TO A CHINESE RESTAURANT. 25:47 AT THE END OF OUR MEAL, THEY GAVE US FORTUNE COOKIES. 25:52 DO YOU KNOW WHAT THE FORTUNE SAID IN ONE OF OUR COOKIES? 25:56 "YOU ARE GOING TO BUY SOMETHING WITH FOUR WHEELS THAT WILL BE 25:58 A LOT OF FUN." 26:00 [LAUGHTER] IT'S THE TRUTH. 26:03 I'VE GOT IT PINNED UP ON MY 26:04 BOARD. 26:06 AND I'VE STARTED EATING MORE CHINESE FOOD EVER SINCE THEN. 26:08 [LAUGHTER] NOW DO YOU THINK I REALLY 26:11 BELIEVE THAT GOD SPOKE TO ME THROUGH A FORTUNE COOKIE? 26:14 I SUPPOSE GOD COULD IF HE, IF HE WANTED TO. 26:16 BUT YOU KNOW, THAT'S NOT HOW WE READ THE BIBLE. 26:20 THE WORD OF GOD, IT DOESN'T CHANGE. 26:23 IT DOESN'T GO WITH OUR IMPRESSIONS. 26:24 I MEAN, SOMETIMES THERE'LL BE QUIRKY THINGS THAT'LL HAPPEN 26:26 WHERE YOU CAN SAY, "OH, HOW DID THEY KNOW THAT?" 26:29 THAT'S NOT LIKE BIBLE PROPHECY. 26:31 BIBLE PROPHECY IS UNCHANGING. 26:32 IT'S SOLID. 26:33 IT'S UNIVERSAL IN ITS SCOPE AND THE WAY IT TEACHES US. 26:36 QUESTION NUMBER 3: 26:40 IS THE BIBLE ACCURATE WHEN IT SPEAKS ABOUT AREAS OF SCIENTIFIC 26:44 HEALTH? 26:46 YOU KNOW, HAVE YOU HEARD PEOPLE SAW, "WELL, YOU KNOW, THE 26:48 BIBLE'S AN OLD BOOK"? 26:49 "IT'S NOT SCIENTIFIC"? 26:50 "IT'S NOT ACCURATE"? 26:52 THAT'S NOT TRUE AT ALL. 26:53 MATTER OF FACT, LET'S LOOK AT A COUPLE OF SCRIPTURES ON 26:56 THIS. 26:56 1 JOHN 3:20, "GOD IS GREATER THAN OUR HEART, AND HE KNOWS 27:01 ALL THINGS." 27:04 YOU KNOW, BACK IN THE 1860s, WHEN DOCTORS DID SURGERY, 27:09 YOU DIDN'T WANT TO GO TO A HOSPITAL BACK THEN, BECAUSE THE 27:11 DOCTOR MIGHT SAY, "THE SURGERY WAS A SUCCESS, BUT THE PATIENT 27:15 DIED." 27:16 IT HAPPENED A LOT. 27:19 MATTER OF FACT, 80% MORE WOMEN HAD INFECTIONS AND PROBLEMS AND 27:23 DEATH HAVING BABIES IN HOSPITALS THAN AT HOME. 27:28 YOU KNOW THE REASON? 27:30 FOR... 600 YEARS BEFORE THAT THEY JUST DIDN'T MAKE A 27:33 CONNECTION BETWEEN CLEANLINESS AND INFECTION. 27:36 AND THE DOCTORS WOULD GO FROM THE SURGERY THEATER, WITH APRONS 27:40 COVERED WITH BLOOD AND WHO KNOWS WHAT ELSE FROM FORMER 27:43 PATIENTS, WITHOUT EVEN WASHING THEIR HANDS, NO GLOVES, AND GO 27:46 BEGIN TO WORK ON THE NEXT PERSON. 27:48 AND THEY JUST CAUSED EPIDEMICS ALL THE TIME IN THE HOSPITAL. 27:50 DEATH EVERYWHERE. 27:52 ALONG CAME A DOCTOR, HE WAS A QUAKER, VERY RELIGIOUS MAN 27:55 BY THE NAME OF JOSEPH LISTER. 27:58 AND HE READ IN THE BIBLE WHERE WHENEVER SOMEBODY WAS SICK OR 28:03 THEY TOUCHED A DEAD BODY, THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO WASH. 28:07 AND HE THOUGHT, GOD IS TRYING TO TELL US SOMETHING. 28:09 AND THEN HE SAW THE RESEARCH OF LOUIS PASTEUR AND HE BEGAN TO 28:12 IMPLEMENT PROCEDURES OF SANITATION AND CLEANLINESS IN 28:15 HIS CLINIC. 28:16 AND THE SURVIVAL RATE SKYROCKETED. 28:20 FIRST THE OTHER DOCTORS JUST ABOUT LAUGHED HIM OUT OF THE 28:22 PROFESSION. 28:23 THEY THOUGHT HE WAS ECCENTRIC AND THAT HE WAS A FANATIC. 28:26 AND GRADUALLY EVERYBODY BEGAN TO ACCEPT IT. 28:31 BY THE WAY, DO YOU KNOW WHERE THE WORD "LISTERINE" COMES FROM? 28:33 EXACTLY. 28:35 IT WAS NAMED AFTER JOSEPH LISTER. 28:36 EVEN THE BAND-AID, PUTTING THAT OVER YOUR WOUND. 28:39 ALL OF THESE THINGS CAN BE TRACED BACK TO HIM. 28:41 YOU LOOK IN THE BIBLE, SOME OF THE LAWS AND THE RULES THAT IT 28:43 HAD ABOUT SANITATION. 28:45 JUST SIMPLE THINGS LIKE COVERING HUMAN WASTE. 28:49 YOU KNOW THE BIBLE SAYS THAT. 28:50 I'VE BEEN TO A LOT OF COUNTRIES OF THE WORLD. 28:52 THEY STILL HAVEN'T READ THAT PART OF THE BIBLE. 28:54 AND I, I DON'T WANNA GET TOO GRAPHIC, BUT YOU KNOW, IN OUR 28:57 COUNTRY, WE GOT PLACES THAT ARE DESIGNATED AS THE RESTROOM. 29:00 AND I'VE BEEN TO A LOT OF COUNTRIES THAT THEY JUST HAVE 29:03 SOME PLACES THAT ARE DESIGNATED AS NOT THE RESTROOM; EVERYTHING 29:05 ELSE IS THE RESTROOM. 29:07 AND THEY'RE RAMPANT WITH DISEASE. 29:10 AND WHEN THE LORD BROUGHT THAT NATION OUT OF EGYPT, HE GAVE 29:14 THEM LAWS OF SCIENCE AND HEALTH AND SANITATION THAT ARE ALL 29:19 CURRENT AND STILL UP TO DATE TODAY. 29:21 SO CAN YOU BELIEVE THE BIBLE? 29:22 ABSOLUTELY. 29:24 IT'S THE BOOK THAT GOD IS USING TO COMMUNICATE WITH US. 29:28 NOW, THE LORD -- WE TALKED ABOUT GOD LAST PRESENTATION AND HOW 29:32 WE CAN'T SEE HIM, BUT HE CAN SEE US AND HE WANTS TO SPEAK 29:37 TO US. 29:38 THE BIBLE IS A LOVE LETTER FROM GOD. 29:41 YOU KNOW I WAS, OH, I DON'T EVEN REMEMBER. 29:45 I TRAVEL SO MUCH. 29:45 I WAS IN ONE FOREIGN COUNTRY, AND HOW MANY OF YOU KNOW WHAT 29:47 SKYPE IS? 29:49 SKYPE IS, YEAH. 29:50 AND I GET ON SKYPE. 29:52 IT'S A CHEAP WAY TO MAKE A LONG DISTANCE PHONE CALLS. 29:56 AND I FORGET, I WAS IN MEXICO OR SOMETHING AND I SKYPED KAREN. 29:59 AND KAREN'S GOT A LITTLE CAMERA SET UP THAT I SET UP FOR HER, 30:02 AND I CAN SKYPE HER. 30:04 AND I CAN LOOK AT HER, AND SHE CAN LOOK AT ME. 30:07 AND IT'S JUST SO SOPHISTICATED. 30:08 AND WE'RE TALKING TO EACH OTHER AND THE KIDS WILL JUMP IN THE 30:10 PICTURE AND I'LL WAVE AT THEM. 30:12 WELL, ONE TIME SOMETHING WENT OUT WITH THE MESSAGE. 30:15 AND I WAS ABLE TO HEAR HER, AND SEE HER AND THE BOYS, BUT SHE 30:21 COULDN'T SEE ME. 30:22 AND WE COULDN'T FIGURE OUT WHAT IT WAS. 30:24 BUT SHE COULD, SHE COULD, I COULD TEXT HER. 30:27 AND SO WE HAD THIS WHOLE CONVERSATION WHERE I KEPT 30:30 SENDING HER TEXT MESSAGES AND SHE WOULD THEN ANSWER. 30:33 SHE'D READ THEM AND SHE'D ANSWER. 30:35 SHE KNEW I WAS THERE, BECAUSE I WAS SAYING THINGS THAT ONLY I 30:38 WOULD KNOW AND SPEAKING TO HER HEART. 30:40 IT WASN'T SOME STRANGER OUT THERE THAT WAS TEXTING HER. 30:44 BUT -- THE COMMUNICATION WAS INHIBITED, BUT WE WERE ABLE TO 30:47 COMMUNICATE. 30:48 WELL, IN THE BIBLE, GOD IS TEXTING YOU HIS WILL. 30:53 THIS WORLD HAS BEEN INFILTRATED AND CONFOUNDED BY AN ARCH FIEND 31:00 CALLED THE DEVIL. 31:02 AND HE HAS TRIED TO CUT THE COMMUNICATION LINES BETWEEN US 31:05 AND GOD BECAUSE OF SIN. 31:07 SIN SEPARATES US FROM GOD. 31:09 BUT THE LORD STILL IS DESPERATE TO GET A MESSAGE OF LOVE TO US. 31:14 AND ONE OF THE PRINCIPAL WAYS THAT HE DOES THIS IS THROUGH HIS 31:16 WORD, AND OF COURSE, GOD HIMSELF BECAME THE WORD IN JESUS. 31:22 HE CAME TO EARTH AS A MAN. 31:24 JESUS WAS THE WORD IN FLESH. 31:27 HE LIVED IT OUT. 31:28 HE IS THE WORD. 31:29 "IN THE BEGINNING WAS THE WORD, AND THE WORD WAS WITH GOD AND 31:32 THE WORD WAS GOD." 31:34 SO CHRIST, WE DON'T KNOW WHAT HE LOOKED LIKE. 31:36 WE DON'T KNOW WHAT JESUS LOOKED LIKE. 31:38 I KNOW ALL OUR PICTURES LOOK PRETTY MUCH THE SAME. 31:40 WHY DID JESUS CHANGE THE WORLD? 31:42 BECAUSE OF THE WAY HE LOOKED? 31:44 OR WHAT HE SAID? 31:46 AND HIS WORDS ARE IN THE BIBLE. 31:48 AND YOU KNOW WHAT'S AMAZING TO ME -- I STILL HAVEN'T FIGURED 31:50 OUT HOW TO DO THIS YET. 31:51 PEOPLE WOULD COME AND LISTEN TO JESUS, SIT DOWN AND TALK. 31:55 DOESN'T SAY HE YELLED AND HE WAS SCREAMING, HE JUMPED UP AND DOWN 31:58 AND RANTED AND WAVED AND POUNDED ON THE SCROLLS. 32:02 HE SAT DOWN AND HE TALKED TO PEOPLE. 32:05 AND THE POWER OF WHAT HE SAID WAS SO PROFOUND THAT PEOPLE 32:09 WOULD SIT MESMERIZED ALL DAY LONG AND LISTEN TO HIM FOR SO 32:12 LONG, THEY WOULD FORGET TO EAT. 32:16 THERE'S SOMETHING POWERFUL ABOUT THE WORD OF GOD THAT RESONATES 32:18 IN OUR SOULS. 32:20 AND A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO ARE DOWN ON THE BIBLE OR SIMPLY NOT UP 32:23 ON THE BIBLE... 32:24 THEY'RE DOWN ON IT, AND THEY'VE NEVER READ IT. 32:26 OR THEY'VE GOT LITTLE SNIPPETS. 32:27 I'VE HEARD PEOPLE SAY, "OH, I DON'T BELIEVE THE BIBLE. 32:29 YEAH, I KNOW THE BIBLE. 32:30 I'VE READ THE BIBLE. 32:31 IT SAYS GOD HELPS THOSE THAT HELP THEMSELVES." 32:33 THAT'S NOT IN THE BIBLE. 32:34 THAT'S BEN FRANKLIN. 32:36 [LAUGHTER] AND I'VE HEARD PEOPLE MISQUOTE 32:38 THE BIBLE SO MANY TIMES. 32:40 NOW THEY'RE TELLING ME THAT SOMEONE'S TEXTED IN A QUESTION 32:43 THAT THEY THINK GOES ALONG WITH TONIGHT'S PROGRAM. 32:46 ♪ ♪ GOT IT UP ON THE SCREEN. 32:53 I AM EXHIBIT A. 32:55 [LAUGHTER] I THINK THE LORD DOES HAVE AN -- 32:59 NOT THAT I'VE GOT A GREAT SENSE OF HUMOR. 33:01 JUST LOOK AT ME. 33:01 [GIGGLES] BUT... 33:04 I DO THINK THAT THE LORD HAS A SENSE OF HUMOR. 33:07 I MEAN, THE BIBLE TELLS US EVEN IT SAYS, GOD WILL LAUGH, IT SAYS 33:11 GOD SINGS. 33:13 AND YOU KNOW, THE LORD EVEN USES IRONY IN HIS WORD. 33:16 YOU THINK ABOUT ONE TIME WHEN THE PROPHETS OF BAAL WERE 33:18 DANCING AROUND, TRYING TO GET THEIR GOD BAAL TO BRING FIRE 33:23 DOWN OUT OF HEAVEN. 33:24 AFTER A WHILE, ELIJAH, UNDER THE INSPIRATION OF THE HOLY SPIRIT, 33:27 SAID, "MAYBE YOU SHOULD SHOUT A LITTLE LOUDER. 33:29 HE MIGHT BE ON A JOURNEY. 33:31 COULD BE SLEEPING; YOU MIGHT NEED TO WAKE HIM UP." 33:33 THAT'S CALLED IRONY. 33:35 JESUS SAID, "IT'S EASIER FOR A CAMEL TO GO THROUGH THE EYE OF A 33:38 NEEDLE THAN FOR A RICH MAN TO GET INTO THE KINGDOM." 33:41 THAT, YOU KNOW, YOU PICTURE THAT. 33:43 THAT'S KIND OF GOD SOME HUMOR IN IT. 33:45 OR WHEN JESUS SAID, "BEFORE YOU TAKE THE MOTE, THE SPECK OF DUST 33:49 OUT OF YOUR NEIGHBOR'S EYE, TAKE THE TWO-BY-FOUR OUT OF YOURS." 33:53 [LAUGHTER] SEE YOU'RE LAUGHING NOW. 33:55 THERE'S HUMOR IN THAT. 33:56 SO YES, GOD HAS A SENSE OF HUMOR. 33:58 OKAY, BACK TO OUR QUESTION. 34:00 QUESTION NUMBER 4: 34:10 CAN WE TRUST THE HISTORICAL RECORDS THAT WE FIND IN THE 34:12 BIBLE? 34:14 ABSOLUTELY. 34:14 DO YOU KNOW THERE IS MORE HISTORICAL SUPPORT REGARDING 34:19 THE LIFE OF JESUS THAN THERE IS FOR ALEXANDER THE GREAT OR 34:23 JULIUS CAESAR? 34:25 WE HAVE THOUSANDS OF MANUSCRIPTS THAT TALK ABOUT JESUS. 34:27 THERE'S JUST A SMATTERING OF HISTORICAL REFERENCES THAT WE 34:30 STILL HAVE IN EXISTENCE THAT TALK ABOUT ALEXANDER THE GREAT. 34:34 OR JULIUS CAESAR. 34:38 NOW, I'VE GOT A LITTLE QUOTE HERE. 34:40 SOME OF YOU HAVE HEARD OF THE JEWISH HISTORIAN, JOSEPHUS. 34:43 HE WAS A CONTEMPORARY WITH THE APOSTLES. 34:46 HE WAS PRESENT WHEN JERUSALEM WAS DESTROYED. 34:49 A JEW. 34:50 IN HIS ANTIQUITIES OF THE JEWS, AS HE'S JUST GOING THROUGH 34:54 HISTORY, HE INSERTS A PARAGRAPH THAT BLOWS ME AWAY. 34:58 BECAUSE HE SAYS THIS INCREDIBLE STATEMENT AND THEN HE MOVES 35:01 RIGHT ALONG. 35:02 LISTEN TO THIS. 35:03 FROM THIS IS BY THE WAY, ANTIQUITIES OF THE JEWS. 35:05 BOOK 18, CHAPTER 3, SECTION 1 THROUGH 5. 35:08 "NOW THERE WAS ABOUT THIS TIME JESUS, A WISE MAN, IF IT BE 35:13 LAWFUL TO CALL HIM A MAN. 35:15 FOR HE WAS A DOER OF WONDERFUL WORKS AND A TEACHER OF SUCH MEN 35:18 THAT RECEIVED THE TRUTH WITH PLEASURE. 35:21 HE DREW OVER TO HIM BOTH MANY OF THE JEWS AND MANY OF THE 35:23 GENTILES. 35:24 HE WAS CHRIST. 35:28 A JEW SAID THAT. 35:30 AND WHEN PILATE, AT THE SUGGESTION OF THE PRINCIPAL MEN 35:32 AMONG US, HAD HIM CONDEMNED TO THE CROSS, THOSE THAT LOVED HIM 35:37 AT THE FIRST DID NOT FORSAKE HIM. 35:39 FOR HE APPEARED TO THEM ALIVE AGAIN THE THIRD DAY... 35:43 AS THE DIVINE PROPHETS HAD FORETOLD. 35:46 AND THESE AND 10,000 OTHER WONDERFUL THINGS CONCERNING HIM 35:51 AND THE TRIBE OF CHRISTIANS SO NAMED FROM HIM ARE NOT EXTINCT 35:54 TO THIS DAY." 35:56 WOW. 35:57 THAT'S NOT IN THE BIBLE. 35:59 THAT'S HISTORY FROM THE TIME OF CHRIST. 36:02 NOBODY -- ATHEISTS TAKE THE WRITINGS OF JOSEPHUS. 36:06 THEY HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH JOSEPHUS. 36:08 BUT THEY HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THAT STATEMENT. 36:10 YOU GOTTA TAKE THE WHOLE THING. 36:11 THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF MANUSCRIPTS THAT SUPPORT THE 36:13 ACCURACY OF... 36:15 A MATTER OF FACT THERE IS NO BOOK ON ARCHAEOLOGY OR HISTORY 36:19 THAT HAS MORE INFORMATION THAT IS MORE DEPENDABLE THAN THE 36:22 BIBLE. 36:24 IT COVERS A GREATER SPAN OF HISTORY THAN ANY OTHER BOOK. 36:27 I BELIEVE THAT YOU CAN BELIEVE IT. 36:29 OH, I NEVER GOT TO MY VERSE: JOHN 19:35. 36:40 JOHN THE APOSTLE IS SAYING, I HAVE SEEN THIS. 36:42 EVEN JOHN SAID, "I HAVE SEEN WITH MY EYES, I'VE HANDLED WITH 36:45 MY HANDS. 36:45 BELIEVE ME, I'M TELLING YOU FIRSTHAND: I SAW THE MIRACLES. 36:49 I'VE TOUCHED JESUS. 36:50 HE'S REAL. 36:52 AND IF YOU DON'T ACCEPT THAT KIND OF EVIDENCE, WHAT EVIDENCE 36:55 WILL YOU ACCEPT?" 36:57 I MEAN, TO ME IT'S VERY POWERFUL. 36:59 NOW, KEEP IN MIND, I GREW UP -- I WAS TAUGHT BY MY FATHER AND MY 37:03 MOTHER -- I DON'T WANT TO BE 37:05 DISRESPECTFUL -- THAT JESUS WAS A FAIRYTALE, 37:08 THAT HE WAS A MYTH. 37:08 SO I WAS VERY PREJUDICED. 37:11 MY MOTHER WAS JEWISH, AND I WAS TOLD CHRISTIANS ARE THE 37:15 PROBLEMS. 37:16 THEY PERSECUTE THE JEWS. 37:19 AND YET, WHEN I READ IT FOR MYSELF AFTER GOING THROUGH SO 37:23 MANY DIFFERENT BOOKS, I COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING THAT 37:25 COMPETED WITH THE VALIDITY OF THE BIBLE. 37:28 THE BIBLE IS ACCURATE HISTORY. 37:31 EVERYTHING FROM IT'S PROPHETIC INFORMATION, TO IT'S INFORMATION 37:36 ON SCIENCE AND A NUMBER OF OTHER FIELDS. 37:38 JOHN 19:35, IT TELLS US THAT WHAT HE SAYS IS TRUE. 37:42 ALL THROUGH THE SCOPE OF HISTORY, YOU CAN TRUST THE 37:45 WRITINGS AND THE TEACHINGS OF THE BIBLE. 37:48 ALRIGHT, WE'RE GONNA GO ONTO QUESTION NUMBER FIVE: 37:59 ANSWER: LUKE 24:27. 38:13 THE BIBLE REALLY IS A BOOK ABOUT JESUS. 38:15 YOU KNOW THE LAST BOOK IN THE BIBLE BEGINS BY SAYING, "THE 38:18 REVELATION OF JESUS." 38:20 AND IT'S TELLING US ALL ABOUT CHRIST. 38:23 LOOK AT SOME OF THE INCREDIBLE PROPHECIES THAT ARE COVERED IN 38:27 THE BIBLE. 38:28 LET ME READ SOME OF THESE TO YOU REAL QUICK. 38:30 JUST SOME OF THE PROPHECIES IN THE BIBLE TELLS IN THE OLD 38:33 TESTAMENT WHERE THE MESSIAH WOULD BE BORN: IN BETHLEHEM. 38:37 BY THE WAY THAT'S IN MICAH 5:2. 38:39 IT HAPPENED. 38:40 YOU READ ABOUT IT IN MATTHEW 1:2. 38:42 IT TELLS US THAT THE MESSIAH, GOD BECOMING A MAN, THE ANOINTED 38:46 ONE, WOULD BE BORN OF A VIRGIN. 38:49 WELL, THAT'S KIND OF UNIQUE. 38:50 YOU KNOW THAT DOESN'T HAPPEN EVERYDAY. 38:52 THAT'S SAID IN THE OLD TESTAMENT. 38:54 IT'S BEEN CLAIMED MORE THAN ONCE, BUT I THINK THOSE THINGS 38:56 ARE SUSPECT. 38:58 NEW TESTAMENT, WE ALL KNOW ABOUT THAT. 39:02 OLD TESTAMENT, IT SAYS THAT THE MESSIAH WOULD COME FROM THE LINE 39:04 OF DAVID. 39:06 JESUS DID. 39:07 YOU FIND THAT IN REVELATION 22:16. 39:10 OLD TESTAMENT, THERE'D BE AN ATTEMPTED MURDER AS HE WAS A 39:12 BABY. 39:14 IT SAYS THAT CHILDREN OF RACHEL IN BETHLEHEM WOULD BE 39:17 SLAUGHTERED. 39:18 OLD TESTAMENT, AND WRITTEN 500 YEARS BEFORE IT HAPPENED. 39:21 HOW CAN YOU PREDICT SOMETHING LIKE THAT? 39:23 DID IT HAPPEN? 39:24 DID HEROD TRY TO KILL ALL THE BABIES IN BETHLEHEM? 39:28 SAYS HE'D BE BETRAYED BY A FRIEND. 39:30 AND THAT'S FORETOLD BY DAVID IN PSALM 41:9. 39:34 NEW TESTAMENT, IT HAPPENED. 39:36 YOU KNOW ABOUT JUDAS. 39:38 IT SAYS HE'D BE SOLD FOR SILVER, AND HOW MUCH SILVER?

40:08 THE BIBLE IS FULL OF PROPHECIES LIKE THIS THAT CAME TRUE EXACTLY 40:12 AS IT WAS FORETOLD, AND THERE'S MANY MORE. 40:15 YOU CAN FIND GREAT LISTS THAT DEAL WITH THIS ON THE INTERNET 40:20 AND OTHER PLACES THAT TALK ABOUT THE OLD TESTAMENT PREDICTIONS, 40:23 THE NEW TESTAMENT FULFILLMENT. 40:25 THE BIBLE CAN BE TRUSTED. 40:27 THE BIBLE IS A "LAMP UNTO OUR FEET, IT IS A LIGHT TO OUR 40:31 PATHS." 40:32 ULTIMATELY, THE BIBLE IS ALL TELLING US ABOUT JESUS. 40:36 NOW, JESUS IS CALLED MANY THINGS IN THE BIBLE. 40:39 JESUS IS CALLED "THE WORD." 40:41 WE TALKED ABOUT THAT. 40:42 HE'S CALLED "THE LIVING WATER." 40:43 HE'S CALLED "THE GREAT I AM." 40:46 HE'S CALLED "THE ROCK OF AGES." 40:49 HE'S CALLED "THE DOOR." 40:50 HE'S CALLED "THE SHEPHERD" AND A THOUSAND OTHER THINGS. 40:54 THAT, USING THESE ANALOGIES FROM THE PARABLES IN THE BIBLE, TO 40:59 HELP US UNDERSTAND WHO HE IS. 41:00 BUT ONE OF THE THINGS THAT JESUS IS CALLED IS "THE LIGHT." 41:03 NOW, WHY IS IT IMPORTANT FOR YOU TO READ THE BIBLE?
