AND WE HAVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT 00:53 THE SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST CHURCH, WHAT MAKES IT A LITTLE 00:55 BIT UNIQUE. WE'RE FINDING OUT ABOUT HISTORY, 01:01 THINGS ABOUT PROTESTANTS, AND WE HAVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT THIS 01:04 MOVEMENT THAT BROKE AWAY, AND MARTIN LUTHER, AND PROTESTISM. 01:10 IT WAS TO PROTEST CATHOLICISM, BUT LATER, PRO PROTESTANT WENT 01:23 WHERE -- >> TO ACCUMENAL. 01:28 IT WAS THE BREAKING AWAY FROM ROME. 01:32 AND IT WAS PROUDLY ESTABLISHED HERE IN AMERICA. 01:38 AND PASTOR CA WAS TALKING ABOUT HOW REVELATION CAME UP. 01:43 GOD OPENED THE DOOR IN AMERICA FOR THE PILGRIMS. 01:47 AND THAT'S A RELIGIOUS TERM, MEANING WE'RE LOOKING FOR A 01:52 PLACE TO PRACTICE RELIGION WITHOUT TYRANNY. 02:00 YOU HAVE HAD TO FOLLOW THIS TO BE PART OF THE ESTABLISHMENT 02:05 HERE IN AMERICA, UNTIL ROGER WILLIAMS BROKE AWAY AND 02:11 ESTABLISHED RELIGIOUS FREEDOM IN RHODE ISLAND. 02:14 BEFORE THAT PROTESTANTS HAD NOTHING AT ALL TO DO WITH ROME. 02:18 IT WAS THE FEARED POWER. THE VERY THOUGHT OF ROMAN 02:24 HIERARCHY COMING TO AMERICA WAS AT THE FEAR OF DEATH. 02:30 BUT WHEN MUSSOLINI GIFTED THE VATICAN CITY TO ROME, IT WAS 02:38 LISTED AS THE DEADLY WOUND WAS HEALED. 02:44 >> UH-HUH. >> BUT TO GET ROME BACK -- AND 02:46 HERE IS THE KEY. WHEN THE BIBLE SAYS IN 02:51 REVELATION 13, THE DRAGON GAVE HIM HIS POWER, THE RESPONSE TO 03:00 THAT, SATAN GIVING POWER TO A SYSTEM THAT WOULD NOT BE 03:04 SUPPORTED BY THE BIBLE. BUT WHO'S AIM WAS TO ENCAPSULATE 03:11 THE ENTIRE WORLD. THE WHOLE PURPOSE OF ROME WAS TO 03:17 CONTROL. BUT AMERICA, AS IT IS STILL THE 03:21 LAST HOLDOUT WHERE FREEDOM OF RELIGION IS STILL PRACTICED. 03:27 SO SO IN ROME HAS TO BE TOLERATED. 03:35 EVEN ENGLAND USED TO BE PREDOMINANTLY CATHOLIC. 03:39 BUT IN AMERICA, THE WAY THAT ROME IS SEEKING TO FULLY ABOLISH 03:48 PROTESTANTISM IS THROUGH ACCUEMEN. 03:54 >> YEAH. AND IT IS THE MOST SECULAR OF 03:59 ALL CONTINENTS. >> THAT'S RIGHT. 04:02 >> THE MOST SECULAR IS EUROPE, THE PLACE WHERE THE CHURCH HAS 04:08 HELD SWAY FOR SO LONG, THE SWING OF THE PENDULUM HAS SAID WE'RE 04:13 GIVING UP ON ALL RELIGION. THE UNITED STATES WAS FOUNDED ON-THIS UNWRITTEN IDEA THAT A 04:19 CATHOLIC WOULD NEVER BE IN THE WHITE HOUSE. 04:21 >> OKAY. >> AND YOU REMEMBER WHO THE 04:24 FIRST CATHOLIC WAS, IT WAS KENNEDY. 04:28 SO IT WAS A LONG TIME BEFORE THAT WAS BROKEN. 04:32 NOW ALL BETS ARE OFF, ANYBODY CAN COME IN AND RUN THE COUNTRY, 04:38 BUT IT SHOWS YOU THE MIND SET OF THOSE WHO STARTED THIS COUNTRY, 04:44 BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T WANT THE TYRANNY TO COME ACROS THE WATER 04:47 AND BE PART OF THIS COUNTRY THEY WERE TRYING TO START. 04:53 >> AND EUROPE IS PRIMARILY SECULAR. 04:57 THE CHURCH IS DEAD FOR THE MOST PART IN EUROPE. 05:05 IN SOME PLACES IT IS DYING. THE REFORMATION WAS FOLLOWED BY 05:10 THE COUNTER REFORMATION. >> OKAY. 05:12 >> LET'S GO BACK TO THE BIBLE. ROME SAYS NO. 05:16 LET'S GO BACK TO ART, AND SCIENCE, AND LITERATURE. 05:20 SO THE COUNTER REFORMATION ALSO KNOWN AS THE RENAISSANCE PERIOD 05:29 WAS THE COUNTERPUNCH. MARTIN LUTHER SAID WE'RE GOING 05:33 BACK TO THE BIBLE, AND THE CATHOLIC CHURCH SAID, NO, YOU 05:38 ARE NOT. AND THEN 50 YEARS ALMOST AFTER 05:43 MARTIN LUTHER STARTED THE REFORMATION, 50 YEARS LATER, THE 05:47 POPE SAID TRADITION IS NOW ABOVE THE BIBLE. 05:50 SO TODAY IN AMERICA NOW, LET'S JUST GET TO THE BRASS TACKS. 05:55 ONE OF THE REASONS WHY SABBATH IS VERSUS SUNDAY IS TRADITION IS 06:04 ENOUGH. ROME GIFTED THAT BELIEF TO THE 06:06 CHRISTIAN WORLD. AND HERE IS WHAT ROME DID. 06:10 THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH -- AND MY FAMILY IS 99% CATHOLIC. 06:18 I'M NOT BEATING UP CATHOLIC PEOPLE. 06:20 BUT THE ROMAN CHURCH OF THE DARK AGES BUILT ITS CATHEDRALS ON THE 06:28 BACKS OF FALSE TEACHINGS. ONE WAS YOU DIE AND BURN IN HELL 06:34 FOREVER IF YOU DON'T PAY TO HAVE YOUR LOVED ONES REMOVED FROM 06:40 PURGATORY AND SENT TO HEAVEN, OR IF YOUR BABY ISNT BAPTIZED AND 06:47 DIES, THEY WILL BURN IN HELL UNTIL YOU PAY. 06:54 >> AND ON TO GERMANY. AS THE MONEY CLINKS IN THE 06:59 BOTTOM OF THE BASKET, YOUR LOVED ONE IS OUT OF PURGATORY. 07:05 >> WOW. >> THEY HAD NOTHING TO BELIEVE 07:08 SO THEY BOUGHT IT. >> THEY HAD NO BIBLE. 07:11 >> THEY HAD NO BIBLES. AND THAT'S WHY IT IS IMPORTANT 07:14 TO STUDY HISTORY AND PROPHECY. BECAUSE PROPHECY SHOWS YOU WHAT 07:20 WAS -- WHAT IS, AND WHAT WILL BE. 07:22 SO YOU DON'T NEED TO GET WEAK IN THE KNEES, BECAUSE THE SAME GOD 07:26 THAT GOT YOU HERE WILL GET YOU HOME IF YOU TRUST HIM AND FOLLOW 07:31 HIM. >> OKAY. 07:31 WHAT MAKES US -- AND I WANT TO GET TO THIS, AND WE HAVE PLENTY 07:36 OF TIME TO DO IT. BUT SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST 07:39 CHRISTIANS, SOMETIMES AREN'T LOOKED AT LIKE -- THEY TALK 07:43 ABOUT THE EVANGELICAL CHRISTIANS, OR EVANGELICALS 07:48 VERSUS SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTISTS CHRISTIANS, VERSUS WHATEVER 07:51 ELSE. WHAT MAKES -- WHAT IS THE 07:53 DEFINING LINE BETWEEN A CHRISTIAN AND EVANGELICAL 08:00 CHRISTIAN? BECAUSE FOR OUR VIEWERS, IT MUST 08:04 BE -- WHEN YOU'RE HEARING POLITICS RIGHT NOW. 08:07 THEY ARE SAYING THE PRESIDENT IS TRYING TO WOO THE 08:12 PRESIDENT-ELECT, OR BOTH SIDES WERE TRYING TO WOO THE 08:18 EVANGELICALS. WHO WOULD BE THE EVANGELICALS? 08:21 >> THE EVANGELICAL WORLD IS ESTA 08:28 ESTABLISHED UNDER THE BANNER OF THE APOSTLES CREED. 08:34 YOU CAN LOOK THAT UP. IT'S ALL OVER THE INTERNET. 08:38 I BELIEVE IN GOD THE FATHER JESUS CHRIST THE SON AND THE 08:45 PHYSICAL RESURRECTION OF CHRIST ON THE THIRD DAY -- AND THERE IS 08:48 A WHOLE LIST. AND WHEN YOU AGREE WITH THE 08:52 TERMINOLOGY, YOU ARE CONSIDERED A LEGITIMATE EVANGELICAL. 08:56 BUT IF YOU DON'T PRESCRIBE TO THAT APOSTLE'S CREED, THEN THEY 09:02 DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH YOU. >> AT FIRST THEY CALLED US 09:10 FUNDAMENTALISTS, WHICH WAS KIND OF A BACK HANDED COMPLIMENT. 09:15 BECAUSE THEY NEVER KNEW WHERE TO PUT ADVENTTISM, BECAUSE WE 09:22 FOLLOWED THE WORLD OF GOD. WE'RE NOT GOING TO JUMP ON IT IF 09:28 IT'S NOT IN THE LINE WITH THE BIBLE. 09:31 DR. MARTIN IN HIS FAMOUS BOOK KINGDOM OF THE CULT, HE PUT US 09:38 IN THERE BECAUSE HE DIDN'T KNOW WHERE TO PUT US, AND HIS HEAD 09:44 CAME OUT SPINNING AND HE SAID WE'LL PUT THEM IN THE KINGDOM OF 09:50 CULT. AND HE WAS STILL PREACHING AND 09:52 TEACHING, AND HE COULDN'T PEG US. 10:03 >> RIGHT. >> OUR THING IS IF IT IS NOT IN 10:07 THE BIBLE, WE CAN'T ACCEPT IT. AND WE WILL NOT BE UNIFIED ON 10:13 THE SAKE OF UNITY. WE'RE NOT GOING TO SURRENDER WHO 10:17 WE ARE, AND WHAT WE ARE. WE HAVE GOT TO BE IN LINE WITH 10:23 THE BIBLE. >> I MENTIONED THE APOSTLES 10:30 CREED, SOMEBODY MAY SAY WHY ARE YOU NOT PRESCRIBING TO THAT?-WE HAVE MAJOR LEADERS IN AMERICA 10:38 THAT ARE OPEN TO POPE FRANCIS'S SUGGESTION TO UNIFY. 10:43 I'M NOT MENTIONING NAMES, BUT PEOPLE LIKE RICK WARREN, THAT 10:48 SAYS WE HAVE MORE IN COMMON. RICK WARREN SAYS WE HAVE MORE IN 10:53 COMMON WITH ROME, THAN WE DON'T HAVE IN COMMON. 10:58 SO HOW COULD A PROTESTANT LEADER SAY WE HAVE MORE IN COMMON THAN 11:03 WE DON'T HAVE COMMON. HERE IS PART OF THE APOSTLE'S 11:09 CREED. IN THE LATTER PART, IT BEGINS BY 11:11 SAYING I BELIEVE IN GOD, THE FATHER ALL MIGHTY, I BELIEVE IN 11:19 JESUS CHRIST GOD'S ONLY SON BORN OF THE VIRGIN MARY. 11:26 WHEN YOU PUT THEM TOGETHER, IT GIVES A DIFFERENT INFERENCE. 11:31 >> OKAY. >> VIRGIN MAIR I HAVE A SAINT IN 11:38 THE CATHOLIC CHURCH. HE DESCENDED TO THE DEAD. 11:45 HE DIDN'T DESCEND ANYWHERE. HE GIVES CREDENCE TO THE IDEA 11:52 THAT HE WAS GOING TO PREACH IN PRISON. 12:15 THE RESURRECTION OF THE BODY, AND LIFE EVERY LASTING. 12:21 >> WHO WROTE THIS? >> THIS IS A COMPILATION. 12:26 >> BUT THERE ARE DENOMINATIONS SIGNING ON TO THIS? 12:31 >> SIGNING ON. >> AND IT SAYS I BELIEVE IN THE 12:36 CATHOLIC CHURCH? THE HOLY SAINT, THE HOLY 12:41 CATHOLIC CHURCH -- THE FIRST TIME I SAW THS [ INAUDIBLE ] 12:44 WAS THERE. >> OH, YES. 12:47 >> ROBERT SHULER. >> OF COURSE. 12:49 >> I WAS INVITED THERE TO SING. AND I WENT AND LOOKED AT THEIR 12:56 FOYER, AND IT SAYS WE ARE -- I FORGOT WHAT DENOMINATION THEY 13:01 WERE, BUT IT SAYS WE TEACH THE DOCTRINES OF THE ROMAN CATHOLIC 13:10 CHURCH. AND SO IT'S EASY, DANNY NOW FOR 13:14 CHURCHES THAT USED TO BE PROTESTANT, AND NOW HAVE BOUGHT 13:20 INTO THE APOSTLE'S CREED. >> DO EVANGELICALS BUY INTO 13:27 THIS? >> THE MAJORITY DOES. 13:29 WHEN YOU HAVE DIFFICULTY IS WHEN YOU GET INTO 13:35 NON-DENOMINATIONALISM. THEY DON'T HAVE TO SUBSCRIBE TO 13:37 THIS. BUT GENERALLY -- METHODIST -- 13:43 >> MAINLINE PROTESTANT DENOMINATION. 13:47 >> YES. >> THAT'S -- THAT'S AMAZING TO 13:50 ME THAT THEY WOULD ADD THAT IN THERE -- 13:52 >> YEAH. >> -- AND ESPECIALLY LIFT UP ONE 13:57 CHURCH. >> WHEN THEY SAY CATHOLIC, THEY 14:00 MEAN THE CHURCH UNIVERSAL, BUT IT PUTS YOU UNDER THE UMBRELLA 14:06 OF THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH. THERE'S NO WAY TO GET AROUND 14:11 THAT. >> OKAY. 14:11 SO WHAT WE HAVE. AGAIN, WE'RE TALKING ABOUT 14:14 THINGS THAT MAKE US UNIQUE. WE HAVE SEEN A LOT OF THINGS 14:17 THAT WE HAVE IN COMMON. RIGHTEOUSNESS -- AND MANY PEOPLE 14:27 SAY, YOU THINK BY KEEPING THE SABBATH, THAT YOU THINK YOU ARE 14:36 GOING TO WORK YOUR WAY INTO HEAVEN. 14:39 SO WHY SHOULD A PERSON KEEP -- I'M GOING TO SAY THE 14:43 WORD KEEP, THE SATURDAY THE SABBATH -- 14:46 >> OKAY. >> -- MAYBE YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT 14:50 THAT IS THE SEVENTH DAY OF THE WEEK, BUT WHAT DO I DO WHEN I 14:55 SAY KEEP IT? BECAUSE SOME PEOPLE -- THE JEWS 14:58 SAY, YOU CAN'T WALK A MILE, LIGHT CANDLES, DO ALL OF THIS. 15:05 SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTISTS ARE SOMEWHERE IN BETWEEN. 15:06 SO EXPLAIN A LITTLE BIT OF THIS, AND THEN TELL ME WHY SO MANY 15:12 PEOPLE ARE UPSET. A NUMBER OF YEARS AGO WE WERE ON 15:16 A GROUP -- YOU COULD GET -- AND I WON'T GO INTO THE NAMES OF 15:21 THIS, BUT ONE DISH, YOU COULD GET A LOT OF DIFFERENT 15:24 DENOMINATIONS AND A LOT OF DIFFERENT RELGIOUS GROUPS WERE 15:27 ON THERE, AND THE OWNER AT THE TIME CALLED ME AND HE SAID I 15:31 HAVE A LOT OF PRESSURE TO TAKE YOUR CHANNEL OFF. 15:35 AND THERE'S MAYBE 20 DIFFERENT GROUPS OF PEOPLE. 15:40 AND I SAID WHY? AND HE SAID YOU ARE SEVENTH-DAY 15:43 ADVENTISTS. AND I SAID WHAT DON'T THEY AGREE 15:46 WITH? AND HE SAID THEY REALLY DON'T 15:48 LIKE IT, THESE OTHER GROUPS, ABOUT YOUR TEACHING ON THE 15:53 SABBATH. AND I SAID, WELL, I MEAN I MAIN 15:56 NOT LIKE IT THAT THEY TEACH CERTAIN THINGS THAT I DON'T 16:01 AGREE WITH. I DON'T BELIEVE IN SPEAKING IN 16:04 TONGUES. I DON'T BELIEVE THAT YOU GO 16:06 STRAIGHT TO HEAVEN OR HELL, BUT I'M NOT SAYING YOU SHOULD TAKE 16:10 THEM OFF OF THE AIR, BUT I SAID IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE? 16:14 AND HE SAID THE MAIN THING THEY DON'T LIKE IS SO MANY PEOPLE ARE 16:20 CALLING THEIR MINISTRY SAYING WE HAVE BEEN WATCHING 3ABN, AND 16:24 THEY ARE HAVING TO ANSWER A LOT OF QUESTIONS ABOUT KEEPING THE 16:29 SABBATH, AND I SAID THE MINISTRY SHOULDN'T BE SHYING AWAY FROM 16:34 THAT -- >> THEY SHOULD ANSWER IT. 16:36 >> HERE IS WHY YOU DON'T NEED TO, OR HERE IS WHY YOU DO. 16:39 HE SAID I'M NOT GOING TO TAKE YOU OFF, BUT I THINK IT'S 16:45 INTERESTING, YOU SHOULD KNOW THAT THIS IS BASICALLY A THREAT 16:49 TO THE EVANGELICALS. AND THAT WAS THE BIGGEST THREAT. 16:58 BUT THE FACT THAT YOU KEEP THE SABBATH AND THEY DON'T WANT TO 17:04 ANSWER TO THEIR PEOPLE CALLING THEM. 17:08 SO THEY THINK THE EASIEST WAY WOULD BE TO SHUT US DOWN. 17:12 >> IT COMES DOWN TO A NUMBER OF THINGS. 17:16 WHAT DID CHRIST DO AT THE CROSS? WHAT DID HE ABOLISH? 17:21 WHAT WENT THROUGH? >> OKAY. 17:23 >> THE REASON THEY DON'T WANT TO BOTHER WITH IT, IS BECAUSE 17:27 THERE'S NO TEXT TO SUPPORT IT. YOU HAVE A COMMANDMENT THAT SAYS 17:32 REMEMBER THE SABBATH DAY TO KEEP IT HOLY. 17:35 THERE IS NO COMMANDMENT TO CHANGE THAT. 17:37 THERE IS NO RECORD IN THE WORLD OF GOD THAT EVER ALTERS THAT. 17:42 CHRIST KEPT THE SABBATH WHEN HE WAS ALIVE. 17:47 LUKE 14 TELLS US THAT. HE KEPT THE SABBATH IN DEATH, 17:53 AND ISAIAH 13:14, WE'LL KEEP THE SABBATH FOREVER. 18:00 >> [ INAUDIBLE ]. >> PRECISELY [ INAUDIBLE ]. 18:03 >> SO THERE IS NO -- NO PLACE IN THE BIBLE WHERE YOU CAN FIND 18:09 THAT IT HAS EVER BEEN CHANGED OR ALTERED. 18:13 CHRIST SAID JOHN 14:15, IF YOU LOVE ME, YOU DO THIS. 18:17 IT COMES AS A CONSEQUENCE OF A LOVING RELATIONSHIP WITH THE 18:22 LORD. AND JOHN SAYS AGAIN, IF YOU SAY 18:26 YOU LOVE ME, AND YOU DON'T DO THAT, WELL, YOU ARE A LIAR. 18:30 SO IT'S TOUGH TO DEAL WITH SOMETHING FOR WHICH THERE IS NO 18:34 CHANGE EVER LISTED IN THE BIBLE, AND THAT'S WHY THEY DON'T WANT 18:37 TO DEAL WITH THAT, BECAUSE THEY ARE BASED ON TRADITION, WE'RE 18:41 BASED ON A CLEAR COMMAND FROM THE WORLD OF GOD. 18:44 >> AND THE OTHER THING, DANNY, THERE ARE TWO THINGS THAT THE 18:48 LORD DID IN THE BEGINNING THAT SATAN HAD ATTACKED. 18:55 TODAY WE HAVE THIS PROSAME-SEX MORTGAGE MOVEMENT. 19:06 GOOD NEVER INTENDED A MAN TO MARRY A MAN AND A WOMAN TO MARRY 19:13 A WOMAN. HUMANITY WOULD HAVE DIED OUT IN 19:16 ABOUT TWO MONTHS. >> CERTAINLY IN ONE GENERATION. 19:26 >> THAT'S RIGHT. BUT WE SUPPORT SOME OF THE MOST 19:32 PERVERTED THINGS ON EARTH, AND WE CALL OURSELVES A CHRISTIAN 19:38 NATION. WHY ARE CHRISTIAN CHURCHES NOT 19:40 RISING UP AGAINST THIS? CHRISTIAN CHURCHES ARE MORE 19:44 POLITICAL TODAY THAN THEY ARE SCRIPTURAL. 19:47 WE HAVE FALLEN DOWN THE PATH OF CONSERVATIVE AND LIBERAL. 19:52 AND WE HAVE CHRISTIANS ARGUING WITH CHRISTIANS, RATHER THAN THE 19:58 RIDICULOUS NORMS OF SOCIETY CALLING OURSELVES A CHRISTIAN 20:02 NATION. RIGHT NOW WE ARE SO OPEN TO ROME 20:06 BECAUSE WE ARE LOOKING FOR A MORAL LEADER. 20:09 WE ARE SO IMMORAL IN AMERICA. SAME-SEX MARRIAGE IS ONLY THE 20:16 OUTGROWTH OF PORNOGRAPHY FOR DECADES -- 20:19 >> UH-HUH. >> -- ALL OF THE DARK SEXUALITY 20:23 IN AMERICA FOR DECADES. SO WE HAVE NOW COME TO THE 20:27 ILLEST VERSION OF IT. MAN WITH MAN AND WOMAN WITH 20:30 WOMAN, AND WE'RE NOW UPSET WHEN WE SHOULD HAVE BEEN UPSET A LONG 20:36 TIME AGO. >> WE HAVE BEEN DOING THIS SO 20:39 LONG, LET'S JUST DO THIS. WELL, THE BIBLE SAYS DO THIS, 20:43 YEAH, BUT THAT'S DIFFICULT. AND WE GO TO THE PARK ON 20:47 SATURDAY AND DISNEY WORLD ON SATURDAY. 20:50 AND I HAVE A GOOD FRIEND, PRESBYTERIAN GUY, HE SAYS 20:56 SABBATH IS THE DAY WHEN I MAKE MONEY, AND GOD WANTS ME TO MAKE 21:01 MONEY AND BE HAPPY, SO I CAN'T CLOSE DOWN ON SABBATH. 21:06 >> SO THIS CHANGE RECENTLY HAPPENED -- THE SAME-SEX 21:10 INITIATIVE HAS HAPPENED UNDER THE LAST ADMINISTRATION, AND IS 21:13 STILL EXISTING UNDER THIS ADMINISTRATION. 21:17 IT HASN'T REALLY BEEN CHALLENGED BECAUSE OF THE LAW IN AMERICA. 21:22 >> CORRECT. >> WE ARE REAPING THE WHIRLWIND. 21:29 CHRISTIANS TO SOME DEGREE ARE UPSET ABOUT THAT. 21:31 BUT THE SABBATH WAS THE OTHER THING THAT GOD ESTABLISHED IN 21:34 THE GARDEN OF EDEN. HE ESTABLISHED MARRIAGE BEFORE 21:39 SIN, WHICH MEANT IT WAS PERFECT. HE ESTABLISHED THE SABBATH 21:43 BEFORE SIN, BEFORE JEWS, A GOOD 1500 YEARS BEFORE A JEW. 21:51 ABRAHAM KEPT THE COMMANDMENTS. HE WAS NOT A JEW. 21:57 HE WAS A BABYLONIAN. SO THE COMMANDMENTS WERE IN 22:02 EXIST IMPORTANCE BEFORE THEY GOT WRITTEN DOWN AT MOUNT SINAI. 22:09 IF THE SABBATH WERE TO CHANGE TODAY, THERE WOULD BE AN OUTCRY 22:14 IN CHRISTIANITY, BECAUSE IT WOULD SAY TO ALL CHRISTIANS, YOU 22:18 HAVE TO KEEP A NEW DAY NOW. LIKE SAYING YOU HAVE TO MARRY A 22:22 DIFFERENT WAY NOW. BUT THE REASON WHY IT CAN'T BE 22:27 DONE IN AMERICA IS BECAUSE IT IS LAW.-pHOWEVER, THE SABBATH WAS CHANGED 22:32 AT A TIME WHEN CHRISTIANS HAD NO POWER, AND THEY COULN'T FIGHT 22:36 THE CHURCH. YOU DO IT OR YOU DIE. 22:40 SO TODAY AFTER A GOOD 1700 YEARS -- 22:43 >> UH-HUH. >> -- PEOPLE ARE BORN INTO THIS 22:47 CHRISTIAN PRACTICE OF SUNDAY KEEPING, AND THEY THINK IT WAS 22:50 ALWAYS LIKE THAT. IF THE WORLD LASTS FOR 200 MORE 22:56 YEARS, PEOPLE BORN 100, 200 YEARS FROM NOW WILL THINK THAT 23:02 SAME-SEX MARRIAGE IS SCRIPTURAL. >> THAT'S RIGHT. 23:04 >> SO WE'RE SAYING AS SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTISTS, IF IT'S 23:09 NOT SCRIPTURAL, DON'T SUPPORT IT. 23:13 >> THAT'S RIGHT. YOU CAN'T OPEN THAT DOOR. 23:15 ONCE YOU OPEN THAT DOOR TO TRADITION, THEN ANYTHING BECOMES 23:20 TRADITION. >> EXACTLY. 23:22 BECAUSE 100 YEARS, 200 YEARS FROM NOW, SAME-SEX MARRIAGE 23:29 WOULD BECOME TRADITION, AND YOU WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO FIND ANY 23:35 SCRIPTURAL SUPPORT FOR SAME-SEX MARRIAGE 500 YEARS FROM NOW, THE 23:42 SAME WAY YOU CAN'T FIND SUPPORT FOR SUNDAY SABBATH 1700 YEARS 23:51 LATER. >> AND TRADITION TRUMPS 23:58 SCRIPTURE. SO ONCE YOU HEAD DOWN THAT ROAD, 24:01 YOU CAN GO ANYWHERE. >> SO THE UNIQUENESS, AGAIN OF 24:05 THE SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST CHURCH. 24:06 PEOPLE SAY IT'S NO BIG DEAL, WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE 24:10 WHAT DAY YOU -- YOU KEEP? YOU KNOW? 24:15 AND I HAD WRITTEN IN A BOOK SOMETIME AGO, A GUY HAD SAID 24:20 WHAT DO YOU MEAN, WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE? 24:23 AND HE SAI LET'S SAY YOU GO TO CHURCH ON PRAYER MEETING AND 24:27 THERE'S SEVEN WOMEN THERE, AND THE HUSBAND SAYS I THINK I'LL GO 24:31 HOME WITH THIS WOMAN TONIGHT, AND SHE SAYS WAIT A MINUTE, I'M 24:35 YOUR WIFE, AND HE SAYS WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE, AS LONG 24:40 AS I MAKE ONE IN SEVEN. SO PEOPLE SAY WHY DO YOU WANT TO 24:45 BE SO LEGALISTIC. I THINK YOU ARE SHOWING THAT THE 24:48 BIBLE AND THE BIBLE ONLY, TO STICK TO THAT, QUESTION 24:53 NOT -- THEABLE -- THE REASON SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTISTS, WE STICK 25:05 TO THE BIBLE IS BECAUSE ONCE YOU OPEN THE DOOR, THEN EVERYTHING 25:10 GOES OUT THAT YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT IS TRUTH, AND YOU DON'T 25:12 KNOW WHAT IS THERE. >> THAT'S RIGHT. 25:15 >> SO THERE'S NO CHANGE ON THE -- IN THE BIBLE, ANYWHERE IN 25:18 THE BIBLE, AND I MET WITH ONE OF THE WIDEST KNOWN PROBABLY 25:24 RADIO -- I'M GOING TO CALL IT EVANGELIST, NONE SEVENTH-DAY 25:29 ADVENTIST IN AMERICA FOR MANY, MANY YEARS. 25:32 HE HAS A HUGE MINISTRY, AND I MET WITH HIM, AND HE SAID, WELL, 25:37 I DON'T AGREE WITH WHAT YOU GUYS BELIEVE. 25:40 HE SAID FOR INSTANCE YOU BELIEVE THERE IS PROBABLY GOING TO BE A 25:44 NATIONAL SUNDAY LAW IN YOUR FUTURE, BUT I AN TELL YOU THAT 25:47 IS NOT GOIG TO HAPPEN. I'M CLOSE TO GOVERNMENT LEADERS, 25:51 AND THIS WILL NEVER HAPPEN, SO IT'S JUST CONJECTURE ON YOUR 25:57 PART. IT WON'T HAPPEN. 25:59 AND HE SAID I WOULD CHALLENGE YOU ON THAT. 26:02 AND I SAID, WELL, I WOULD CHALLENGE YOU TO SHOW ME THAT 26:06 THE SABBATH WAS EVER CHANGED FROM THE SEVENTH DAY OF THE WEEK 26:10 TO THE FIRST DAY, OR THAT THERE IS ANY RELEASE OF IT, AND SHOW 26:16 ME ANY SCRIPTURES IN THE BIBLE. HE IS ON A FEW THOUSAND 26:21 STATIONS, AND HE GAVE HIS THOUGHTS, AND I GAVE MINE. 26:24 BUT I SAID, I WOULD BE WILLING TO NOT JUST PROJECT THE FUTURE, 26:32 BUT CAN YOU TELL ME WHY YOU DON'T TEACH KEEPING THE SEVENTH 26:39 DAY SABBATH. HE DIDN'T HAVE AN ANSWER OTHER 26:42 THAN WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE? 26:44 YOU KEEP A DAY IN SEVEN, THE LORD JUST WANTS YOU TO KEEP A 26:49 DAY, BUT SEE THAT'S NOT BIBLICAL NO MATTER HOW MUCH IT SOUNDS 26:56 GOOD. A LOT OF IT IS KEEPING THE 27:00 SABBATH WILL NOT BE SAVED, IT'S NOT WHAT WE KEEP NECESSARILY, 27:04 BUT GOD KNOWS OUR HEART, THAT'S WHY HEAVEN IS NOT LIMITED TO THE 27:09 NAME OF -- WHATEVER THE CHURCH IS OVER THE DOOR POST OUTSIDE, 27:12 BUT IT'S LIMITED TO THOSE WHO ARE WILLING TO KEEP THE 27:17 COMMANDMENTS OF GOD. CA SAID IF YOU LOVE ME KEEP MY 27:25 COMMANDMENTSES JESUS SAID. SO HE WILL BEING TO ACCEPT US 27:30 WHERE WE ARE AND WINK AT OUR IN -- IGNORANCE. 27:39 MAYBE WE FORGOT HOW TO LOVE SOMEBODY IN THE PROCESS, SO THAT 27:43 SABBATH IS NOT GOING TO DO A THING FOR US. 27:46 SO WE'RE NOT HERE JUDGING EVERYBODY, OR SAYING WE HAVE OUR 27:50 ACT TOGETHER, BUT WE'RE SIMPLY SAYING IT IS JUST LIKE THIS. 27:55 IF I LIVE ANOTHER TEN YEARS OR LONGER, NO MATTER WHAT PEOPLE 27:59 SAY, I CAN'T SAY THAT I AGREE WITH SAME-SEX MARRIAGE, BECAUSE 28:04 EVERYBODY SEEMS -- YOU SEEM LIKE YOU ARE A BIG -- BY GOT AND 28:15 HATER. THE TRANSGENDER BATHROOM THING 28:18 THAT IS GOING ON. IF YOU SAY ANYTHING AGAINST IT, 28:23 THE PUBLIC TURNS -- LIKE YOU ARE THE BAD GUY. 28:26 YOU ARE A HATER, BUT AGAIN, THAT'S BECAUSE WE ARE GOING BY 28:31 TRADITION, FEELINGS, AND NOT BY FAITH. 28:35 WE ALSO HAVE THE TRUTH AND THE TRUTH WILL SET US FREE. 28:39 SO WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO -- THE UNIQUENESS, AND THAT 28:43 IS ONE OF THOSE, WE HAVE TALKED ABOUT THE SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST 28:46 CHURCH, IS KEEPING ALL OF THE COMMANDMENTS OF GOD, AND NEVER 28:52 ALLOWING ANYTHING TO GO ABOVE -- ESPECIALLY TRADITION, 28:55 AS THE HOLY ROMAN CHURCH THEY CALL IT, SAID TRADITION IS 29:01 ABOVE, YOU KNOW, THE BIBLE. >> LET ME SHARPEN THE PENCIL ON 29:05 THIS ONE. THE QUESTION WAS ASKED WHY IS 29:08 THE SABBATH SO VITALLY IMPORTANT. 29:11 RIGHT IN THE BIBLE ITSELF, IT STARTS WITH THE WORD REMEMBER, 29:16 WHICH MEANS GOD KNOWS SOVEREIGNLY IN THE COURSE OF 29:20 TIME THAT SIN ENTERED THE WORLD THAT MAN WON'T REMEMBER. 29:24 BUT THESE ARE THE COMPARISONS I OFTEN DO. 29:28 IT WOULD BE HARD TO FIND ANY CLERGY, IF A PASTOR IS PREACHING 29:33 TO YOUNG PEOPLE, AND HE SAYS REMEMBER THE CREATOR IN THE DAYS 29:38 OF YOUR YOUTH. WHAT PATH FOR WOULD STAND UP 29:42 AGAINST THAT? DO YOUNG PEOPLE NEED TO REMEMBER 29:44 THEIR LEADER? ABSOLUTELY. 29:47 WHO SAID THAT? SALOMON SAID THAT. 29:49 >> UH-HUH. >> NOW LET'S GO BACK TO LOT, AND 29:55 LUKE. LUKE SAID REMEMBER LOT'S WIFE.-WHAT HAPPENED TO LOT'S WIFE. 29:59 GOD SAID DON'T LOOK BACK AND WHAT DOES SHE DO? 30:02 >> LOOKED BACK. >> SO THE INFERENCE SAYS DON'T 30:08 LOOK BACK, LOOK FORWARD. SALOMON, YOU BETTER LISTEN TO 30:12 HIM YOUNG PEOPLE. DR. LUKE, YOU BETTER LISTEN TO 30:17 GOD WHEN HE SAYS DON'T LOOK BACK. 30:20 BUT GOD COMES ALONG BEFORE ALL OF THESE, AND SAYS REMEMBER THE 30:26 SABBATH DAY TO KEEP IT HOLY. THE SEVENTH DAY IS THE DAY OF 30:33 YOUR GOD. AND WE'RE SAYING FORGET WHAT GO 30:37 SAID. WHAT RATIONALE IS THERE. 30:40 AN ADVENTIST SAYS, REMEMBER SALOMON, LUKE, AND JESUS. 30:47 THEY ARE ALL IMPORTANT. WE'RE NOT SAYING WE'RE BETTER 30:54 PHYSIOLOGICALLY, MENTALLY OR SOCIALLY, WE'RE SAYING YOU DON'T 30:58 DELETE GOD AND SAY SALOMON AND LUKE ARE MORE IMPORTANT. 31:01 BUT THE SABBATH IS NOT ONLY AN INDICATION OF WHO IS YOUR GOD, 31:06 THE SEVENTH DAY IS THE DAY OF THE LORD. 31:11 IT'S NOT DAY YOU PICK. THE QUESTION IS EASILY ANSWERED, 31:14 WHO IS YOUR GOD? >> WELL SAID. 31:18 >> IF GOD OF CREATION IS YOUR GOD, HE ONLY BLESSED ONE DAY. 31:24 SO WHEN THIS WELL-KNOWN RELIGIOUS LEADER SAID THAT HE 31:28 KEEPS EVERY DAY -- >> HE KEEPS EVERY DAY HOLY. 31:31 >> HE SAYS I KEEP THE SABBATH AND SUNDAY, AND MONDAY AND 31:35 TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY -- >> UH-HUH. 31:37 >> I WAS FRANKLY EMBARRASSED FOR HIM AS A LEADER. 31:40 >> YEAH, THAT'S BLOWING SMOKE. >> YOU ARE BLOWING SMOKE. 31:45 YOU ARE MOCKING WHAT GOD SAID BY SAYING YOU KEEP EVEY DAY. 31:50 EITHER YOU ARE WILLINGLY IGNORANT OR INTENTIONALLY 31:57 SARCASTIC. AND WHEN YOU ARE SARCASTIC ON 32:02 WHAT GOD SAID YOU ARE BLASPHEMY. >> IT ASSUMES THE SUIT IS CLEAN. 32:10 IF THE SUIT IS DIRTY, YOU KEEP THAT SUIT CLEAN. 32:16 >> YEAH. AND LET ME ADD THE SABBATH IS 32:19 NOT ABOUT WORK. THE SABBATH COMMANDMENT SAYS 32:25 THOU SHALL NOT DO ANY WORK. >> OKAY. 32:31 >> SO DANNY YOU KNOW, AND PASTOR CA, THAT SABBATH IS NOT ABOUT 32:37 WORK, IT'S ABOUT THIS, LET ME ADD A SCRIPTURE TO IT. 32:42 WE NEED FOUR HOURS FOR THIS PROGRAM, DANNY. 32:45 >> I KNOW. >> MOREOVER I GAVE THEM BY 32:50 SABBATH TO BE A SIGN BETWEEN ME AND THEM THAT THEY MIGHT KNOW 32:55 THAT I AM THE LORD WHO SANCTITIFIES THEM. 32:59 IF THE GOD OF CREATION IS MAKING YOU HOLY THE SABBATH IS A SIGN 33:04 THAT YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT. AND VERSE 20, FOLLOW MY SABBATH 33:10 AND THERE WILL BE A SIGN BETWEEN ME AND YOU THAT YOU MAY KNOW 33:13 THAT I AM THE LORD YOUR GOD. SO THE SABBATH IS A SIGN. 33:19 YOUR ANNIVERSARY IS A SIGN, THE ANNIVERSARY THAT EACH OF US HAS 33:24 IS A SIGN BETWEEN OUR SPOUSES. >> AMEN. 33:28 AND EXODUS SAYS IT IS THE SIGN THAT IT IS TH LORD WHO DOES THE 33:36 SANCTIFICATION. >> ONCE YOU LEAVE THE BIBLE ALL 33:39 YOU ARE LEFT WITH IS YOUR OPINION AND MY OPINION. 33:44 JEREMIAH 31:23, IT IS NOT WITHIN MAN TO DIRECT HIS OWN STEPS, IF 33:49 YOU TRY TO GO WITH YOUR OWN OPINION YOU ARE GOING TO FOUL 33:53 YOURSELF UP SOONER OR LATER. THAT'S WHY YOU HAVE TO HAVE AN 33:57 OBJECTIVE REALITY TO FOLLOW. AND THAT'S THE WORD OF GOD. 34:03 ONCE YOU MOVE AWAY FROM THAT, YOU ARE LEFT WITH YOUR OPINION, 34:10 MY OPINION, AND ONCE YOU GO INTO A GROUP OF MEN THAT SAYS THIS IS 34:15 HOW WE'RE GOING TO DO IT. THAT DOESN'T MAKE IT RIGHT. 34:19 THE STANDARD IS THE WORD OF GOD. >> UH-HUH. 34:21 >> IT'S A STRANGE THING WHEN YOU GET TO A CHURCH WHEN TELLING THE 34:27 TRUTH IS OFFENSIVE. DOES THAT NOT SHOCK ANYBODY? 34:33 IF YOU WENT TO THE BANK TO GET AN WITHDRAWAL AND THE TELLER 34:38 SAID YOU ONLY HAVE $35 IN AN ACCOUNT. 34:42 AND YOU SAID WAIT A MINUTE. I HAVE $60. 34:45 SIR, YOU MAY HAVE SEEN IT ONLINE, BUT THAT'S NOT WHAT YOU 34:52 HAVE. CAN I SEE THE STATEMENT? 34:53 WE WANT THE BANK TELLER TO TELL US THE TRUTH. 34:58 WE WANT TRUTH IN EVERYTHING. I GOT TO PAUSE AND SAY THIS.-WHY IS IT IF YOU ARE A CHRISTIAN 35:06 THAT THE TRUTH DOESN'T MATTER TO YOU? 35:10 WHY DOES THE TRUTH MATTER? PAUL SAID IN SECOND 35:15 THESSALONIANS, BECAUSE THEY RECEIVE NOT A LOVE OF THE TRUTH 35:18 THAT THEY MIGHT BE SAVED. GOD WILL SEND THEM A STRONG 35:23 DELUSION THAT THEY WILL BELIEVE THE LIE. 35:25 THAT THEY ALL MIGHT BE DAMMED WHO BELIEVE NOT THE TRUTH BUT 35:30 HAVE PLEASURE IN UPRIGHT CHOWSNESS. 35:36 THE APOSTLE PAUL SAY -- JESUS SAID I AM THE WAY OF THE TRUTH 35:43 IN THE LIFE. SO YOU CAN'T FOLLOW JESUS AND 35:47 SAY TRUTH DOESN'T MATTER. IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE. 35:51 >> WHEN THE BIBLE USES THAT WORD, IT'S NOT A STATIC WORD. 35:56 IT'S REMEMBER AND DO. [ INAUDIBLE ] REMEMBER ME, HE 35:59 WASN'T JUST SAYING FORGET ME. HE WAS SAYING SAVE ME. 36:03 IT'S AN ACTIVE WORD. WHEN THE BIBLE SAYS REMEMBER THE 36:07 SABBATH IT MEANS KEEP IT, DO IT. ENTER INTO IT. 36:11 AND -- AND THAT'S WHAT GOD WANTS TO DO EVERY TIME GOD REMEMBERS, 36:16 HE ACTS. AND EVERY TIME WE REMEMBER, 36:19 WE'RE SUPPOSED TO ACT ON WHAT WE KNOW TO BE RIGHT. 36:22 >> WOW. GO AHEAD. 36:24 >> COULD I PUT THE DARK AGES BACK INTO THE PICTURE. 36:27 >> YEAH, GO AHEAD. >> IF YOU TURN THE LIGHT OFF ON 36:31 1260 YEARS IN YOUR HOUSE AND TOOK OUT THE OLD FURNITURE, 36:37 BROUGHT IN NEW FURNITURE, AND YOU DID THAT FROM GENERATION TO 36:43 GENERATION, AND YOU KEPT CHANGING THE FURNITURE FOR 1260 36:47 YEARS. 1260 YEARS LATER, SOMEBODY TURNS 36:50 THE LIGHT ON, AND THEY WILL THINK THAT'S THE WAY THE 36:54 FURNITURE HAS ALWAYS BEEN. WHEN YOU TURN OFF THE TRUTH, THE 36:58 LIGHT OF GOD'S WORD -- >> OR IF YOU PUT PEOPLE IN 37:02 SLAVERY FOR 400 YEARS. >> THANK YOU, IN EGYPT. 37:09 >> UH-HUH. HE IS REMINDING THEM AND 37:12 RETEACHING THEM, BECAUSE EVEN BEFORE HE DID IT, THEY WERE OUT 37:16 GATHERING ON -- ON -- YOU KNOW, ON FRIDAY FOR THE SABBATH -- 37:21 >> THAT'S RIGHT. >> WHEN YOU LOOK AT THAT, SO 37:24 THAT'S WHY PEOPLE -- AND YOU ARE RIGHT, JOHN, WHEN THE LIGHT GOES 37:29 OFF. BUT AGAIN, WHETHER IT'S 37:30 TRADITION FOR GOOD, BAD, OR WHATEVER IT IS, SUDDENLY YOU 37:35 LOSE FOCUS. BUT SEE ADVENTISTS, THE 37:41 UNIQUENESS AND WHAT GETS IN TROUBLE SOME WITH OTHER PEOPLE, 37:44 IF I CAN USE THAT WORD, IT'S A HOT POINT FOR SO MANY PEOPLE, 37:49 BECAUSE THE PASTORS DON'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY WHEN A MEMBER COMES 37:54 AND SAYS -- AND AS OTHER TV STATIONS HAVE SAID -- THEY COME 37:58 AND SAY, ACCORDING TO WHAT WE FOUND OUT, WE SHOULD BE KEEPING 38:02 THE SABBATH. WE DON'T WANT TO HEAR IT. 38:05 BUT WE DON'T STOP THERE. BUT CA YOU BROUGHT UP SOMETHING 38:09 A WHILE AGO THAT WE PROBABLY OUGHT TO TALK ABOUT. 38:13 YOU SAID SOMETHING ABOUT GOD BURNING PEOPLE FOREVER AND EVER. 38:19 MOST OF THE CHRISTIAN WORLD BELIEVES WHEN YOU DIE YOU GO 38:23 DIRECTLY TO HEAVEN OR HELL, AND THERE YOU ARE EITHER ENJOYING 38:27 THE BLISS OF ETERNITY FOREVER, OR YO ARE BURNING FOREVER. 38:32 NOW, YOU SAID SOMETHING THAT THAT WASN'T BIBLICAL. 38:36 >> IT IS NOT BIBLICAL. >> IT IS NOT BIBLICAL. 38:40 >> BUT YET MOST DENOMINATIONS BELIEVE THAT, DON'T THEY? 38:44 >> HERE IS THE PROBLEM. I'M GOING TO TRY THIS FROM A 38:49 RATIONAL POINT OF VIEW. >> OKAY. 38:51 >> ONCE YOUR IGNORE WHAT HAPPENED AT CREATION, THAT GOD 38:56 TOOK INANIMATE DUST AND BREATHED INTO IT LIFE, AND THE BIBLE SAYS 39:04 IT BECAME A LIVING SOUL. ONCE YOU BACK YOURSELF INTO THE 39:09 CORNER THAT MAN IS GIVEN A SOUL, THEN WHEN MAN DIES, YOU HAVE TO 39:15 PUT THAT SOUL SOMEPLACE. YOU BACK YOURSELF INTO A 39:21 THEOLOGICAL CORNER, BECAUSE IF YOU HAVE GOT THIS ETERNAL SOUL, 39:24 WHEN THE BODY DIES, YOU HAVE TO PUT THAT SOUL SOMEPLACE. 39:28 THEN YOU HAVE TO INVENT A DOCTRINE OF ETERNAL HELL OR 39:33 GOING TO HEAVEN, NEITHER OF WHICH IS SUPPORTED BY THE WORD 39:40 OF GOD. YOU TAKE 75 YEARS OF SIN AND GOD 39:45 IS GOING TO BURN YOU FOR ALL OF ETERNITY. 39:49 SO THEN YOU DEFACE THE IMAGE OF A LOVING GOD. 39:53 >> THAT'S WELL SAID. THAT'S DEEP. 39:55 THAT IS REALLY DEEP. >> AND I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO -- BY 39:59 GOD'S GRACE AND HIS WORD, BEEN ABLE TO NARROW IT DOWN TO A 40:03 SIMPLE, SIMPLE DEDUCTION. THE DEDUCTION IS SIMPLY ADDING, 40:12 SUBTRACTING. A TEXT THAT MOST PEOPLE 40:14 OVERLOOK. >> I'M FEELING YOU. 40:17 >> THE WAGE OF SIN IS DEATH. THE GIVE OF GOD IS ETERNAL LIFE. 40:24 THROUGH OR IN CHRIST JESUS. THE WAIJS OF SIN IS DEATH. 40:29 THE GIFT OF GOD I WHAT? >> ETERNAL LIFE. 40:32 >> SO IT'S OPPOSITE. >> OPPOSITE. 40:40 SO WHAT RECEIVES THE WAGES OF SIN? 40:44 >> THE WICKED. >> IF THE WICKED RECEIVED THE 40:48 WAGES OF SIN, THEN IT'S CLEAR THAT THE WICKED DON'T RECEIVE 40:52 THE GIFT OF GOD, WHICH IS ETERNAL LIFE. 40:58 >> RIGHT. >> OKAY. 41:01 NOW, HOW CAN THE WICKED BURN ETERNALLY, IF THEY DON'T RECEIVE 41:08 ETERNAL LIFE. >> OKAY. 41:09 >> HOW CAN YOU BE ETERNAL AT ALL IF YOU DON'T RECEIVE ETERNAL 41:15 LIFE. >> UH-HUH. 41:16 >> HOW ABOUT THE MOST PROBABLY WELL-KNOWN SCRIPTURE IN THE 41:22 BIBLE, GOD GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN HIM SO THAT WHOEVER 41:28 BELIEVETH IN HIM SHALL NOT PARISH, BUT SHALL HAVE 41:37 EVER-LASTING LIFE. PARISH MEANS PUT AN END TO. 41:41 AND ETERNAL LIFE WOULD BE ANYTHING BUT PUTTING AN END TO. 41:51 SO THINK ABOUT IT, WHOSOEVER BELIEFTH IN HIM SHALL NOT 41:58 PARISH, BUT SHALL HAVE EVER-LASTING LIFE. 42:01 AND WHAT I SAID TO A PREACHER NOT TO LONG AGO AFTER A FUNERAL, 42:07 WE WERE TALKING, AND HE SAID YOU GO STRAIGHT TO HEAVEN. 42:11 AND HE SAID WELL, THE BIBLE SAYS WHEN A MAN DIES HIS BREATH GOES 42:15 BACK TO GOD IN EVEN, YOU KNOW, WHO CREATED IT. 42:19 SO I SAID IF THAT'S THE CASE -- LET ME THROW IN A LITTLE 42:24 THING HERE, JOHN -- IF THAT IS THE CASE, THEN NO ONE IS LOST. 42:29 IF YOU TAKE THE SCRIPTURE LITERALLY, WHEN A MAN DIES HIS 42:33 BREATH GOES BACK TO GOD, THEN EVERYBODY GOES BACK TO HEAVEN. 42:37 SO WHAT IS THE USE OF HAVING A LOVING GOD AND KEEPING HIS 42:48 COMMANDMENTS HERE -- AM I RIGHT? >> RIGHT. 42:50 >> AND IF THEY JUST STAY WITH BREATH, YOU COULD DEFEND IT, BUT 42:55 THEN THEY WANT TO SAY IT'S ALIVE. 42:59 AND JOB SAYS THE SPIRIT IS IN MY NOSTRILS. 43:04 WHAT GOES BACK TO GOD. YOUR BREATH. 43:08 AND CHRIST SAYS IN REVELATION, I'M COMIG AND MY REWARD IS WITH 43:14 ME. IF YOU ARE ALREADY THERE, THEN 43:16 JESUS IS WASTING GAS. WHAT IS HE COMING BACK HERE FOR? 43:22 AND, YOU KNOW, THERE'S SO MANY PLACES IN THE BIBLE. 43:30 'SIKHAL 18:20. >> YOU ARE NOT BORN WITH THE 43:34 GIFT OF ETERNAL LIFE. IT'S A CONSEQUENCE OF A 43:41 RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS CHRIST. >> AND CAN MORE TALL 43:44 MAN -- THERE IS A TERM CALLED MORTALITY AND IMMORTALITY. 43:51 IMMORTALITY IS WHAT WE'RE GOING TO SEE AS THE BIBLE SAYS AT THE 43:57 LAST TRUMPET. THAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN AT THE 44:06 LAST TRUMP. WHAT HAPPENS AT DEATH -- IT'S 44:08 LIKE -- AND THE RESURRECTION HAS BEEN DELETED FROM CHRISTIANITY. 44:15 HERE IS THE RESURRECTION TEXT. JESUS HIMSELF. 44:20 JOHN 28 AND 29. MARVEL NOT AT THIS, BECAUSE THE 44:25 HOUR IS COMING IN WHICH ALL THAT IS IN THE GRAVE WILL HEAR HIS 44:30 VOICE AND COME FORWARD. >> THAT'S PRETTY POWERFUL. 44:34 >> YES. MARVEL NOT AT THIS, FOR THE HOUR 44:37 IS COMING IN TO WHICH ALL THAT ARE IN THE GRAVE, ALL THAT ARE 44:41 IN THE GRAVE SHALL HEAR HIS VOICE AND SHALL COME FORTH. 44:47 THEY THAT HAVE DONE GOOD UNTO THE RESURRECTION OF LIFE. 44:53 THEY WHO HAVE DONE EVIL ON TO THE RESURRECTION OF DAMNATION. 45:00 AND THEN THE CHRISTIANS AT THE TIMES OF PERSECUTION. 45:04 WHEN THEY GAVE UP THEIR LIVES TO THE LION DENS, TO THE TORTURE, 45:10 TO THE CHAMBER -- THE BIBLE DIDN'T SAY THEY WERE NOT FEARFUL 45:17 OF DEATH BECAUSE THEY WERE GOING TO HEAVEN. 45:20 THEY DIDN'T RECEIVE THE PROMISE. >> RIGHT. 45:22 >> BUT THEY LOOKED FOR SOMETHING BETTER, AND THEN IT SAYS, THEY 45:26 LOOK FORWARD TO A BETTER RESURRECTION. 45:31 >> OH, OKAY. NOT A BETTER JOURNEY. 45:37 AND THE [ INAUDIBLE ] USE THAT ONE. 45:40 >> UH-HUH. HE SAID REMEMBER THE THIEF ASKED 45:44 JESUS, REMEMBER ME WHEN YOU COME INTO YOUR KINGDOM. 45:48 >> YES. >> DIDN'T JESUS SAY THIS DAY YOU 45:51 WILL BE WITH ME IN PARADISE. >> JESUS DIDN'T GO TO PARADISE 45:56 THAT DAY. HE WENT -- AFTER HIS 45:59 RESURRECTION HE SAID TO MARY, I HAVE NOT YET ASCENTED TO MY 46:06 FATHER. IF HE WAS GOING THAT DAY, WE 46:09 COULD HAVE LEGITIMACY, BUT HE DIDN'T GO THAT WAY. 46:13 HE SAID TO MARY, DO NOT CLING TO ME, FOR I HAVE NOT YE 46:28 YET -- ASCENDED TO MY FATHER. >> SO THE CHURCH NOWADAYS, THE 46:38 CHRISTCHURCH AND WHETHER WE'RE PROTESTANT AND EVANGELICALS, AND 46:43 WHATEVER NAMES WE'RE USING NOW, BUT SO MANY PEOPLE HAVE BOUGHT 46:48 INTO THIS. >> RIGHT. 46:50 >> BUT IT IS TRADITION IT'S NOT BIBLICAL. 46:57 >> WHEN A PERSON DIES, THE BIBLE SAYS THEY ENTER INTO REST. 47:01 >> OKAY. >> PAUL MADE IT VERY CLEAR, 47:05 BRETHREN, I WILL NOT HAVE YOU BE IGNORANT CONCERNING THOSE WHO 47:10 HAVE FALLEN ASLEEP, LES YOU SORROW AS OTHERS WHO HAVE NO 47:16 HOPE. HE SAYS SLEEP, SLEEP, SLEEP, 47:18 SLEEP, SLEEP, AND JESUS IN JOHN 11, WHEN HE WENT TO RAISE 47:24 LAZARUS AFTER FOUR DAYS -- I HAVE TO ADD SOMETHING TO THAT. 47:28 THERE IS A VIEW CALLED A PLAYTONISTIC VIEW THAT THE SOUL 47:39 LIVED INSIDE OF THE BODY. JESUS SHOWED UP THE FOURTH DAY, 47:43 AND THAT IRRITATED THE JEWS, BECAUSE THEY ACCEPTED THIS 47:47 BELIEF THAT CAME INTO THE CHRISTIAN CHUCH DURING THE 48:14 THIRD HISTORY -- [ TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES ] 48:16 >> REMEMBER THAT? >> UH-HUH. 48:21 FIRST CORINTHIANS CHAPTER 3:3. HERE IT -- THAT IS PRETTY PLAIN. 48:36 WE ARE SUBJECT TO DEATH. AT THE COMING OF THE LORD OUR 48:43 DYING BODIES WILL NEVER DIE. >> SO HOW MANY OF US DIE? 48:49 AS IN ADAM ALL DIE. >> UH-HUH. 48:51 >> ALL HAVE SINNED AND FALL SHORT OF THE GLORY OF GOD. 49:01 AND DEATH THROUGH SIN, AND THUS DEATH SPREAD TO ALL MEN. 49:05 >> ALL HAVE SINNED. >> GO AHEAD. 49:08 >> SO A PERSON FALLS ASLEEP WHEN WE DIE. 49:11 >> RIGHT. >> WHEN JESUS CAME, YOU KNOW, 49:15 FOUR DAYS AFTERWARDS HE DIDN'T CALL LAZARUS FROM HEAVEN, 49:21 LAZARUS DIDN'T HAVE A TESTIMONY, WHY DID YOU DO THIS? 49:26 I WAS AT THE TABLE OF LIFE AND DOING ALL OF THIS STUFF, AND WE 49:31 DON'T HAVE THAT KIND OF TESTIMONY. 49:33 AND JESUS SAID TO THEM, PLAINLY, LAZARUS -- HE SAID LAZARUS IS 49:40 ASLEEP, AND THEY SAID IF HE IS ASLEEP, HE IS DOING WELL. 49:44 AND PLAINLY HE IS DEAD. >> YES, HE SAID CLEARLY. 49:48 >> SO WHAT HAPPENS WHEN A PERSON DIES? 49:51 >> YOU SLEEP AND THEN IF YOU SLEEP LONG ENOUGH, YOU TURN BACK 49:55 TO DUST. >> AND WHEN DO YOU WAKE UP? 49:58 >> WHEN JESUS COMES AND CALLS YOU FORTH. 50:01 >> THE SECOND COMING -- >> THE SECOND COMING OF JESUS. 50:05 >> JESUS IS COMING BACK THIS TIME. 50:11 >> [ INAUDIBLE ] ARC ANGEL, AND THE TRUMPET OF GOD. 50:19 [ INAUDIBLE ]. >> THAT IS SO DEEP. 50:21 IF YOU WERE ALREADY DEAD AND IN HEAVEN, HE WOULD BE COMING TO 50:28 THIS EARTH -- >> EXACTLY WASTING GAS. 50:33 >> HE SAYS -- >> PRECISELY -- 50:36 >> PEOPLE SAY WELL, WE RAISE UP. BUT SINCE THE DEAD IS 50:43 CORRUPTIBLE, WHAT IS DEAD ISN'T GOING TO HEAVEN -- 50:47 >> NO. >> HE SAYS THE DEAD IN CHRIST 50:54 [ OVERLAPPING SPEAKERS ] >> AND THEN HE ADDS THIS. 50:57 THEN WE WHICH ARE ALIVE AND REMAIN. 50:59 SO THE LIVING THAT NEVER DIED AND THE DEAD THAT ARE NOW RAISED 51:04 TO LIFE, WE SHALL BE CAUGHT UP TOGETHER, AND GET THIS, TO MEET 51:11 THE LOD, TO MEET THE LORD, TO MEET THE LORD. 51:14 >> RIGHT. >> WHICH MEANS MY MOMMA DIDN'T 51:17 MEET THE LORD YET. >> GO AHEAD. 51:19 >> I'M NOT MEETING HIM WITHOUT HER. 51:22 WE WILL BE CAUGHT UP TOGETHER TO MEET THE LORD. 51:26 SO WE HAVEN'T MET HIM YET. >> AND YOU TOUCHED ON THIS 51:33 BEFORE. [ INAUDIBLE ] 51:37 >> THAT'S RIGHT.->> -- FOR THEY [ INAUDIBLE ] SHALL NOT BE MADE PERFECT. 51:42 SO WE'RE ALL GOING TOGETHER. >> THAT'S RIGHT. 51:45 >> THEY WITHOUT US. THEY DIDN'T GET THERE -- WE'RE 51:51 ALL GOING TO GET TOGETHER -- >> THAT'S A POWERFUL TEXT. 51:55 >> IT IS. >> THEY WILL NOT. 52:00 GOD HAVING PROVIDED SOMETHING BETTER FOR US. 52:03 >> THAT'S RIGHT. >> AND WHY DID THEY DIE? 52:08 THAT THEY MIGHT OBTAIN A BETTER RESURRECTION. 52:13 AND THEN DAVID -- IT'S GETTING DEEPER, DAVID IS DEAD AND BURIED 52:21 [ OVERLAPPING SPEAKERS ] >> ACTS 5. 52:22 DAVID IS BOTH DEAD AND BURIED AND HIS -- HE SAID DAVID HAS NOT 52:35 ASCENDED TO HEAVEN. DAVID HAS NOT ASCENDED TO 52:39 HEAVEN. WAIT A MINUTE? 52:40 HOW COULD HE NOT ASCEND TO HEAVEN? 52:43 WELL, DAVID IS WAITING FOR THE SAME THING THAT PAUL IS WAITING 52:46 FOR. >> AMEN. 52:47 >> AND THAT IS THE RESURRECTION. >> AMEN. 52:53 THAT'S THRILLING AND EXCITING. >> IT IS TO REALLY UNDERSTAND. 52:57 SO AS A CHURCH AND AS A PEOPLE, 3ABN, THE LORD GAVE US A MESSAGE-TO GIVE TO THE WORLD, ONE THAT 53:06 WOULD COUNTER ACT THE COUNTERFEIT. 53:08 WE'LL HAVE TO COME BACK AND GO THROUGH THE WHOLE THREE ANGELS 53:15 MESSAGES, BUT WHAT WE HAVE BEEN TRYING TO TEACH AND PRIEST FOR 53:20 32 YEARS, IS JESUS CHRIST AND HIM CRUCIFIED, BUT TO KEEP 53:27 EVERYTHING FOCUSED ON JESUS AND HIS WORD. 53:30 AND THAT'S WHY WHEN I TURN ON THE NEWS, MOST EVERY DAY, I SAY 53:36 LIKE MY MOM USED TO SAY, SOMETIMES I THINK EVERYBODY IN 53:39 THE WORLD IS CRAZY EXCEPT ME AND [ INAUDIBLE ] 53:44 [ LAUGHTER ] >> YOU SEEM LIKE EVERYTHING IS 53:47 CRAZY, BECAUSE YOU LOOK AT IT, AND YOU SAY HOW CAN THESE PEOPLE 53:50 BE SAYING THESE THINGS, AND THE REASON WE'RE BLOWN BY EVERY WIND 53:56 OF DOCTRINE, AND THAT HAPPENS, JOHN, AND THAT'S NOT A SMALL 54:00 MATTER. WE BELIEVE IN KEEPING 10 54:05 COMMANDMENTS INSTEAD OF NINE. BECAUSE IF YOU DECIDE YOU DON'T 54:10 HAVE TO KEEP THE 4TH COMMANDMENT, THEN MAYBE SAME-SEX 54:19 MARRIAGE IS OKAY. AND ADULTERY IS OKAY. 54:21 WELL, MAYBE I CAN BELIEVE IN ABORTION. 54:24 AND THAT'S WHY GOD HAS GIVEN US 10 COMMANDMENTS TO LIVE BY. 54:28 AND SO WE'RE NOT TRYING TO BE -- YOU KNOW, JUDGE OTHERS, 54:32 BUT THE TRUTH WILL MAKE YOU FREE, WILL SET YOU FREE, SO AS 54:37 SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST CHRISTIANS, AND THREE ANGELS 54:42 BROADCASTING NETWORK, JESUS IS ALIVE AND WELL, AND HE IS SEATED 54:47 AT THE RIGHT HAND OF THE FATHER, AND NO MATTER HOW BAD WE HAVE 54:51 BEEN, TODAY I AM GOING TO LITERALLY INVITE YOU TO ACCEPT 54:57 JESUS CHRIST AS LORD AND SAVIOR OF YOUR LIFE. 55:01 THIS IS THE BEGIN OF THE REST OF YOUR LIFE, TO BE A NEW CREATURE 55:06 IN CHRIST. >> THAT'S RIGHT. 55:08 >> THAT'S THE GREAT MIRACLE AND BEAUTY OF THE CREATOR, GOD, IN 55:15 THAT EACH AND EVERY ONE OF US ARE SO SPECIAL TO HIM, THAT HE 55:20 LITERALLY MADE A PLAN OF SALVATION, DIED ON THE CROSS OF 55:28 CALVARY LITERALLY GIVING HIS LIFE AS AN ATONEMENT FOR OUR 55:32 SINS, THAT WE HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY LOOK UP AND SAY THIS 55:40 IS OUR LORD HE HAS COME TO SAVE US. 55:42 AND WE COULD DO THIS FOR HOURS AND HOURS. 55:45 >> HOURS AND HOURS. >> WE'LL COME BACK AND SPENDING 55:49 MORE TIME STUDYING THESE THINGS. AND AS SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST 55:53 CHRISTIANS, AND COMPARING NOTES, AND I THINK IT'S GREAT TO LOOK 55:57 AT HISTORY AND FOLLOW UP WITH PROPHECY. 56:04 >> AMEN. >> VERY QUICKLY BEFORE WE GO. 56:08 [ INAUDIBLE ] THAT IS ISAIAH, 26:3, VERSUS 2 SAYS WHY IS THE 56:16 TRUTH IMPORTANT?
