1 00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:37,620 At a time when it was believed that the earth sat on a large animal or on a giant, 2 00:00:37,869 --> 00:00:42,479 fifteen hundred years before Christ, the Bible spoke of the earth free floating in space. 3 00:00:43,179 --> 00:00:45,179 "He hangs the earth on nothing." 4 00:00:46,359 --> 00:00:52,798 Science didn't discover that the earth hangs on nothing until 1650, three thousand years later. 5 00:01:18,079 --> 00:01:20,079 Encyclopedia Britannica documents that in 6 00:01:20,629 --> 00:01:23,828 1845, a young doctor in Vienna, named Dr. 7 00:01:23,829 --> 00:01:28,810 Ignaz Semmelweis was horrified at the death rate of women who gave birth in hospitals. 8 00:01:29,359 --> 00:01:33,310 As many as 30 percent died after childbirth. 9 00:01:34,099 --> 00:01:37,928 Semmelweis noted that doctors would examine the bodies of patients who died, 10 00:01:38,540 --> 00:01:44,800 then without washing their hands, they would go straight to the next ward and examine expectant mothers. 11 00:01:45,379 --> 00:01:50,408 This was their normal practice, because the presence of microscopic diseases was unknown. 12 00:01:51,230 --> 00:01:56,649 Semmelweis insisted that doctors wash their hands before each examination. When they did that, 13 00:01:56,959 --> 00:01:59,649 the death rate immediately dropped down to 2%. 14 00:02:01,099 --> 00:02:06,009 Look now at the specific instructions the Bible gives to the Hebrew nation, over 15 00:02:06,500 --> 00:02:09,669 3,000 years ago, when it comes to dealing with disease. 16 00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:13,749 "And when he who has a discharge is cleansed of his discharge, 17 00:02:14,419 --> 00:02:21,579 hen he shall count for himself seven days for his cleansing, wash his clothes and bathe his body in running water; 18 00:02:22,310 --> 00:02:24,459 then he shall be clean." 19 00:02:25,849 --> 00:02:28,149 Nowadays, doctors wash their hands in running water, 20 00:02:28,150 --> 00:02:31,270 but it wasn't too long ago that they did 21 00:02:31,270 --> 00:02:36,338 so in a bowl of still water, leaving invisible germs on their hands. 22 00:02:57,340 --> 00:02:59,340 Leviticus 17 verse 11 says, 23 00:02:59,860 --> 00:03:05,820 "For the life of the flesh is in the blood, and I have given it to you upon the altar to make atonement for your souls; 24 00:03:06,310 --> 00:03:08,310 for it is the blood that makes atonement." 25 00:03:09,580 --> 00:03:14,010 Most of us don't think too much about the fact that a doctor can find out the health of our flesh 26 00:03:14,319 --> 00:03:20,968 by taking a sample of our blood, but the tests can evaluate the health of our kidneys, our liver, thyroid and heart. 27 00:03:21,610 --> 00:03:28,800 Among other things, the blood can reveal diseases and conditions, such as cancer, aids, diabetes, anemia and coronary heart disease. 28 00:03:29,979 --> 00:03:37,318 However, the great biological truth about blood revealing the health of our flesh wasn't fully comprehended until comparatively recent years. 29 00:03:37,689 --> 00:03:43,439 Up until a hundred and twenty years ago, people were bled and many died because of the practice. 30 00:03:44,169 --> 00:03:50,729 When George Washington became deathly sick, doctors thought that bloodletting would help him, but it didn't. 31 00:03:51,370 --> 00:03:56,280 All told, his doctors took out about 80 ounces of blood over 12 hours, 32 00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:59,729 which is about 40 percent of an adult's blood volume. 33 00:04:01,180 --> 00:04:07,439 Nowadays, we know that sick people need blood, so we give them transfusions, rather than removing it. 34 00:04:07,439 --> 00:04:11,490 We replace it or replenish it, because blood gives life to the flesh. 35 00:04:12,099 --> 00:04:17,968 More than a thousand years before Christ, the Bible stated this recently discovered biological truth. 36 00:04:18,670 --> 00:04:22,259 "For the life of the flesh is in the blood." 37 00:04:40,810 --> 00:04:43,050 The Scriptures tell us that the earth is round. 38 00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:49,229 Isaiah 40:22 says, "It is He who sits above the circle of the earth" 39 00:04:49,810 --> 00:04:53,369 The word translated, "circle," is the Hebrew word, "khoog," 40 00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:58,649 which is also translated, "circuit," or, "compass," depending on the context; that 41 00:04:59,019 --> 00:05:04,348 is, it indicates something spherical, rounded, or arched, not something that's flat or square. 42 00:05:04,899 --> 00:05:07,228 The Book of Isaiah was written sometime between 43 00:05:07,870 --> 00:05:09,100 740 and 44 00:05:09,100 --> 00:05:16,080 680 BC. Aristotle, the Greek philosopher, theorized the earth was round by watching the masts of ships 45 00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:20,939 sink down over the horizon and from his studies of the moon during an eclipse. 46 00:05:21,970 --> 00:05:25,920 He noted that the shadow of the earth on the moon revealed that the earth was curved. 47 00:05:26,589 --> 00:05:31,349 He could have saved himself a lot of study if he had read the Bible, which stated that fact 48 00:05:32,079 --> 00:05:34,079 300 years earlier. 49 00:05:38,889 --> 00:05:44,848 It was another 2,000 years later, at a time when many in science believed that the earth was flat 50 00:05:45,278 --> 00:05:49,499 that the Scriptures inspired Christopher Columbus to sail around the world. 51 00:06:11,209 --> 00:06:14,198 Matthew Maury is considered the father of oceanography. 52 00:06:15,019 --> 00:06:21,849 He noticed the expression, "the paths of the sea," in Psalm 8:8, written two thousand eight hundred years ago 53 00:06:21,850 --> 00:06:27,459 and he said, "If God said there are paths in the sea, I'm going to find them." 54 00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:35,198 Maury then took God at His Word and went looking for these paths and we're indebted to his discovery of the warm and cold 55 00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:36,979 continental currents. 56 00:06:36,978 --> 00:06:42,878 His book on oceanography remains a basic text on the subject and is still used in universities. 57 00:07:16,699 --> 00:07:24,310 In the book of Job, chapter 38, verse 35, God asked Job a very strange question, back in 1500 BC. 58 00:07:25,189 --> 00:07:26,750 He asked, 59 00:07:26,750 --> 00:07:31,089 "Can you send out lightnings, that they may go, and say to you, 'Here we are!'?" 60 00:07:34,370 --> 00:07:39,370 This is that light can be sent and then manifest itself in speech. 61 00:07:40,519 --> 00:07:42,519 But did you know that all electromagnetic 62 00:07:42,949 --> 00:07:46,839 radiation from radio waves to x-rays travels at the speed of light? 63 00:07:47,810 --> 00:07:53,050 This is why we can have an instantaneous wireless communication with someone on the other side of the earth. 64 00:07:53,839 --> 00:08:01,238 The fact that light could be sent and then manifest itself in speech wasn't discovered by science till 1864, 65 00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:06,160 3,300 years later, when British scientist, James Clark Maxwell, 66 00:08:06,829 --> 00:08:10,870 suggested that electricity and light waves were two forms of the same thing. 67 00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:40,938 Genesis 2:1 says, "Thus the heavens and the earth and all the host of them, were finished." 68 00:08:42,330 --> 00:08:44,330 Everything is finished. 69 00:08:44,549 --> 00:08:48,978 Nature is complete. The brilliance of the light-giving Sun is finished. 70 00:08:48,980 --> 00:08:52,579 The blue skies are finished. The clouds drop their rain, 71 00:08:53,100 --> 00:08:55,219 cleansing the air and giving life to the earth. 72 00:08:55,860 --> 00:08:57,860 The tall trees are finished, 73 00:08:58,259 --> 00:09:00,259 giving us oxygen to breathe. 74 00:09:00,870 --> 00:09:02,870 The rivers are finished, 75 00:09:03,059 --> 00:09:06,649 teeming with fish and filling our great oceans with water. 76 00:09:09,029 --> 00:09:11,029 The land is finished, 77 00:09:11,279 --> 00:09:13,428 yielding plants that give us food to eat. 78 00:09:14,519 --> 00:09:18,019 Nothing has a half-evolved eye or ear or leg or brain. 79 00:09:19,089 --> 00:09:20,779 It's all finished, 80 00:09:20,778 --> 00:09:28,418 from the animals, to man, to winged birds, to the beauty and fragrance of a rose that blossoms, to God's glory and for his pleasure. 81 00:09:29,359 --> 00:09:31,359 Nothing is evolving. 82 00:09:31,399 --> 00:09:33,139 Everything is finished, 83 00:09:33,139 --> 00:09:35,139 just as the Bible says. 84 00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:11,339 In Genesis 6, God gave Noah the dimensions of the 1.5 million cubic foot ark he was to build. 85 00:10:12,759 --> 00:10:14,759 It's interesting to note that a 86 00:10:15,370 --> 00:10:21,688 1993 a scientific study was conducted by the South Korean world class Ship Research Center, KRISO. 87 00:10:22,179 --> 00:10:25,138 They compared 12 hulls of different shapes and 88 00:10:25,659 --> 00:10:27,659 discovered that no modern design 89 00:10:28,059 --> 00:10:30,059 outperformed the biblical model. 90 00:10:30,519 --> 00:10:34,438 The length of the ark was 6 times its width and 10 times its height. 91 00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:37,860 Many contemporary ships are built with similar proportions. 92 00:10:38,169 --> 00:10:44,759 Although the length-to-breadth ratio is usually chosen with regard to the power required to move them through the water, 93 00:10:45,610 --> 00:10:48,209 the ark needed only to keep afloat. 94 00:11:05,208 --> 00:11:06,469 In Leviticus 95 00:11:06,470 --> 00:11:07,879 13, verse 96 00:11:07,879 --> 00:11:15,099 46, the Bible speaks of quarantine, long before medical science discovered the importance of isolating those with infectious diseases. 97 00:11:16,940 --> 00:11:21,130 In 1490 BC, it gives instructions on what to do if someone has leprosy. 98 00:11:22,278 --> 00:11:23,870 "He shall be unclean. 99 00:11:23,870 --> 00:11:27,428 All the days he has the sore he shall be unclean. 100 00:11:28,009 --> 00:11:30,548 He is unclean, and he shall dwell alone; 101 00:11:31,309 --> 00:11:34,059 his dwelling shall be outside at the camp." 102 00:11:35,690 --> 00:11:39,699 Laws of quarantine were not instigated by modern man until the 17th century. 103 00:11:40,820 --> 00:11:46,179 The devastating black death of the 14th century took an estimated 70 million lives. 104 00:11:46,789 --> 00:11:50,588 This was because they failed to separate the sick from the healthy. 105 00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:55,208 When whole families fell ill, it was attributed to bad air. 106 00:11:56,419 --> 00:12:03,158 However, putting into practice the ordinances of quarantine laid out in Scripture would have saved millions of lives. 107 00:12:28,539 --> 00:12:29,860 In 108 00:12:29,860 --> 00:12:35,668 Job 40:15, God, Himself, speaks to Job of a creature He created, called, "behemoth." 109 00:12:36,490 --> 00:12:42,149 Some Bible commentators believe this creature is a hippopotamus, as does this particular commentator. 110 00:12:43,899 --> 00:12:45,309 "Behold now behemoth, 111 00:12:45,309 --> 00:12:48,418 which I made with you; he eats grass as an ox. 112 00:12:48,970 --> 00:12:55,590 Lo now, his strength is in his loins, and his force is in the navel of his belly. He moves his tail like a cedar: 113 00:12:56,139 --> 00:12:58,468 the sinews of his stones are wrapped together. 114 00:12:59,169 --> 00:13:04,019 His bones are as strong pieces of brass; his bones are like bars of iron. 115 00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:10,530 He is the chief of the ways of God: He Who made him can make his sword to approach unto him. 116 00:13:11,529 --> 00:13:15,749 Surely the mountains bring him forth food, where all the beasts of the field play. 117 00:13:16,210 --> 00:13:19,979 He lies under the shady trees, in the covert of the reed, and fens. 118 00:13:20,799 --> 00:13:25,408 The shady trees cover him with their shadow: the willows of the brook compass him about. 119 00:13:26,169 --> 00:13:32,098 Behold, he drinks up a river, and hastes not: he trusts that he can draw up Jordan into his mouth. 120 00:13:32,830 --> 00:13:35,549 He takes it with his eyes: his nose 121 00:13:36,190 --> 00:13:38,190 pierces through snares." 122 00:13:39,970 --> 00:13:43,470 Science can only speculate as to why the dinosaur disappeared, 123 00:13:44,059 --> 00:13:51,098 but the answer may be in this passage of scripture as we have seen. Some commentators think this is a reference to the hippopotamus; 124 00:13:52,039 --> 00:13:59,708 however, one of the characteristics of this massive animal was that it had a tail that is likened to a cedar, which is a very 125 00:13:59,708 --> 00:14:00,979 large tree. 126 00:14:00,980 --> 00:14:03,519 Clearly, the hippopotamus doesn't qualify. 127 00:14:05,450 --> 00:14:07,809 Here are the characteristics of this animal: 128 00:14:08,450 --> 00:14:11,679 It was the largest of all the creatures that God had made. 129 00:14:12,740 --> 00:14:15,219 It was plant eating, that is, 130 00:14:15,950 --> 00:14:17,330 herbivorous. 131 00:14:17,330 --> 00:14:22,389 It had its strength in its hips and a tail like a large tree. 132 00:14:22,389 --> 00:14:26,558 It had very strong bones, lived among the trees, 133 00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:29,439 drank massive amounts of water, and 134 00:14:29,958 --> 00:14:32,348 was not disturbed by a raging river. 135 00:14:33,409 --> 00:14:36,789 The Bible then says, "He that made him 136 00:14:37,549 --> 00:14:39,819 can make His sword approach unto him." 137 00:14:40,370 --> 00:14:45,729 It would seem that God had caused this, the largest of all the creatures he had made, 138 00:14:46,250 --> 00:14:48,250 to become extinct. 139 00:15:00,500 --> 00:15:02,269 [Ray] Do you believe the Bible? 140 00:15:02,269 --> 00:15:03,409 [Rock] No. 141 00:15:03,409 --> 00:15:06,100 [Ray] Would it make any difference to you if I told you the Bible is full of 142 00:15:06,500 --> 00:15:10,000 scientific and medical facts written thousands of years before man discovered them? 143 00:15:12,909 --> 00:15:17,458 It speaks of the Earth's free-float in space; it says in the book of Job, "The earth hangs upon nothing." 144 00:15:20,059 --> 00:15:24,368 It says in the Book of Isaiah, "He that sits upon the circle of the earth." It speaks of quarantining, 145 00:15:25,309 --> 00:15:29,649 thousands of years before we discovered it. It speaks of washing hands under running water when dealing with disease. 146 00:15:44,970 --> 00:15:46,970 Wouldn't that open your heart to it, at least? 147 00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:53,658 You know what the problem is? It's not intellectual; its moral. 148 00:15:53,669 --> 00:15:57,649 The reason we don't like the Bible is because it accuses us of being morally irresponsible. 149 00:15:58,458 --> 00:15:59,429 [Rock] I 150 00:15:59,429 --> 00:16:02,388 don't believe Bible, Torah, Qur'an, none of them. 151 00:16:03,059 --> 00:16:05,868 The Bible as much as I study is 152 00:16:06,208 --> 00:16:13,998 not scientific. Is also written all by a bunch of people; they wrote it in, but it's, scientifically, there is nothing in the Bible. 153 00:16:14,429 --> 00:16:16,169 The Jews 154 00:16:16,169 --> 00:16:18,860 Bible, which is Torah, or a Qur'an is, 155 00:16:19,379 --> 00:16:24,558 there is no scientific in it. All theoretical. [Ray] In the Book of Leviticus, it speaks of 156 00:16:25,230 --> 00:16:32,300 the life of the flesh being in the blood. We didn't discover that until just recently, that your blood carries information about your flesh. 157 00:16:32,549 --> 00:16:39,198 Your blood tells your doctor all about your body. That was written in the Bible, three thousand years ago. That shows the Bible's 158 00:16:39,778 --> 00:16:43,187 supernatural in origin; there's many scientific and medical facts in the Bible. 159 00:16:56,710 --> 00:16:59,609 [Ray] Great bones that are like brass, speaking of a 160 00:16:59,889 --> 00:17:07,378 dinosaur, it seems and it says He that made him can make a sword approach to him, which speaks of God making the dinosaur extinct. 161 00:17:25,950 --> 00:17:28,639 [Ray] Have you ever read the Bible, Joshua? [Joshua] How do they make it? 162 00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:34,009 Do you think it may be a big meteor, about a half mile hit the earth? 163 00:17:34,319 --> 00:17:38,329 [Ray] All the dinosaurs are standing in a little group and they got hit, they got hit by a meteor? 164 00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:46,070 [Joshua] Yeah, that's the way; if we get hit right now, we're all gonna go, too. [Ray] So the nothing that created everything was actually something? 165 00:17:46,589 --> 00:17:47,789 [Joshua] Exactly. 166 00:17:47,789 --> 00:17:49,789 Nothing came from the Big Bang and then we are here. 167 00:17:51,390 --> 00:17:53,390 [Ray] Oscar do you believe the Bible? 168 00:17:54,779 --> 00:17:59,239 [Oscar] No, but I, or, yes, but I don't think you should take it in a very literal sense. 169 00:17:59,880 --> 00:18:06,200 [Ray] Can you be specific? You mean Jesus didn't literally rise from the dead or God did not literally create the earth in six days? 170 00:18:06,539 --> 00:18:10,638 What do you mean? [Oscar] No, I don't believe that Jesus rose from the dead. [Ray] Jaun, 171 00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:14,479 do you believe the Bible? [Juan] Not particularly, no. [Ray] Do you think there are mistakes in the Bible? 172 00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:20,390 [Juan] I do think there are mistakes in the Bible. [Ray] Can you think of any? [Juan] Well it's written over 3,500 years ago, 173 00:18:20,849 --> 00:18:23,599 so a lot of translation issues might have occurred. 174 00:18:24,329 --> 00:18:27,138 [Ray] You think God could have preserved His word? 175 00:18:27,839 --> 00:18:32,418 You know, if you if you pass a note to someone, it might change as they pass it on to someone, or a message, 176 00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:37,340 but if the person goes with the message and preserves it, it's not going to change, and God has preserved His word. 177 00:18:37,619 --> 00:18:40,009 Juan, I've been reading the Bible every day without fail 178 00:18:40,170 --> 00:18:47,269 for nearly 44 years and I have found no mistakes in the Bible. I found seeming contradictions, but the mistakes have been my mistake. 179 00:18:47,269 --> 00:18:49,230 I just haven't understood something. 180 00:18:49,230 --> 00:18:53,360 The Bible's supernatural in origin. Do you know what that contains scientific facts, written 181 00:18:53,970 --> 00:18:55,789 thousands of years before man discovered them? 182 00:18:55,789 --> 00:19:01,519 Did you know that? [Juan] I did not. Which scientific facts would they be? [Ray] the Book of Isaiah says the earth hangs upon nothing; 183 00:19:01,829 --> 00:19:04,698 speaks of the Earth's free float in space. The Book of Leviticus says 184 00:19:05,309 --> 00:19:07,200 the life of the flesh is in the blood. 185 00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:11,389 If you go see a doctor and you give him your blood, he can tell you how your flesh is doing, because it contains information. 186 00:19:11,700 --> 00:19:13,640 We didn't discover that until recent years. 187 00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:18,200 They used to blood-let people a hundred years ago, thinking it - or 150 years ago -thinking it would do them 188 00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:23,179 good. Now we put blood into people, because we know the life of your flesh is in your blood. 189 00:19:23,180 --> 00:19:27,259 [Ray] So if you face God on Judgment Day and he judges you by the ten commandments - we've looked at four of them - 190 00:19:27,390 --> 00:19:29,390 you going to be innocent or guilty? 191 00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:34,259 [Oscar] I'm pretty guilty. [Ray] Would you go to heaven or hell? [Oscar] I don't know. 192 00:19:34,839 --> 00:19:39,119 [Ray] The Bible says he's already told us all liars have their part in the lake of fire. 193 00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:42,988 No thief, nor blasphemer, nor adulterer will enter into the kingdom of God. 194 00:19:42,990 --> 00:19:46,229 So what are you, what are you going to do on Judgment Day? How are you going to justify yourself? 195 00:19:48,430 --> 00:19:51,000 Now do you think I'm telling the truth or do you think I'm lying? [Oscar] Ah, 196 00:19:51,670 --> 00:19:54,600 you know, you you believe in what you believe in. I 197 00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:59,699 choose not to believe in it. [Ray] So what part don't you believe that I've spoken about? 198 00:20:02,500 --> 00:20:07,500 I'm telling you, your beliefs matter. If you're walking along a path and you believe the path is safe, 199 00:20:07,500 --> 00:20:11,638 you will just keep going, but if there's a land is a land mine right in front of you, you'll go around it. 200 00:20:11,829 --> 00:20:17,369 So beliefs do govern your actions and if you believe God's like a a dumb idol that doesn't care about justice or truth, 201 00:20:17,369 --> 00:20:20,908 you're going to stay in your sins and you'll end up in hell. This is so serious. So 202 00:20:21,519 --> 00:20:27,150 Believe God's Word. He speaks the truth. He doesn't lie. How old are you? [Oscar] 19. [Ray] I don't believe that. 203 00:20:27,670 --> 00:20:33,750 How old are you? [Oscar] 19. [Ray] No, I don't believe that. Where do you live? What city? [Oscar] Right here. [Ray] I don't believe that either. 204 00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:37,980 Now isn't that an insult to you, if I don't have faith in you? 205 00:20:39,339 --> 00:20:43,198 So if you're a mere man, and you're insulted by my lack of faith in your word, 206 00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:46,200 how much more do you think you insult God by a lack of faith in his word? 207 00:20:46,930 --> 00:20:51,600 You're calling God a liar when you say I don't believe what he says in this word and the Bible says, "Let none of you 208 00:20:51,599 --> 00:20:54,178 depart from the Living God through an evil heart of unbelief." 209 00:20:54,849 --> 00:20:58,259 You can never establish a relationship with any human being, without trust. 210 00:20:59,230 --> 00:21:04,949 You know, if you say, "I like you as a girlfriend, but I don't trust you," it's not going last. You say that to your brain surgeon, 211 00:21:04,950 --> 00:21:08,490 "Hey, I don't trust you," or your doctor or your dentist. "I don't trust you," or your banker, 212 00:21:08,490 --> 00:21:13,078 "I don't trust you," or your pilot. No, you put faith in these people, even though they can let you down. 213 00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:15,750 How much more should you trust the God who cannot lie? 214 00:21:16,269 --> 00:21:23,220 So think about the sin of unbelief, "I don't believe what God says." Because you can establish the Bible as being God-inspired. 215 00:21:23,220 --> 00:21:26,759 It's God's Word, man, and I wouldn't lie to you and I've told you the gospel truth, today, 216 00:21:26,890 --> 00:21:29,730 so I want you at least think about it? Will do you do that? [Oscar] Yeah, I will. 217 00:21:30,609 --> 00:21:34,898 [Ray] Angel, do you ever think about your own death? [Angel] Ah, yeah., [Ray] You afraid of dying? 218 00:21:35,898 --> 00:21:37,898 [Angel] Yeah, yeah I am. 219 00:21:39,500 --> 00:21:42,880 [Ray] Did you know you can do something about it? Did you know that? [Angel] What can I do about it? 220 00:21:43,250 --> 00:21:46,989 [Ray] Well, God can grant you everlasting life. So if you're in an elevator, 221 00:21:47,538 --> 00:21:54,219 85th floor and you've got no faith in the cables, you're gonna be terrified. Isn't that right? [Angel] Yes. [Ray] Some one takes you out and says, 222 00:21:54,220 --> 00:21:59,139 "Hey, look at these cables. They're four inches thick. There's ten of them. There's no way they could break if ten elephants were in the elevator." 223 00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:04,838 Your knowledge would give you faith that would release you of fear. And 224 00:22:05,929 --> 00:22:07,730 God can give you knowledge 225 00:22:07,730 --> 00:22:12,759 that will explode your faith and take away the fear. Do you think you're a good person? 226 00:22:12,759 --> 00:22:18,189 You're going to heaven when you die? [Angel] I hope. I mean gotta get through this, right? [Ray] Have you lied and stolen? 227 00:22:18,710 --> 00:22:23,740 [Angel] Ah, yes. [Ray] Lying thief. Have you ever used God's name in vain? [Angel] I don't know. I think maybe once. 228 00:22:24,710 --> 00:22:27,399 [Ray]It's called blasphemy. And if you even do it once in the Old Testament, 229 00:22:27,919 --> 00:22:33,609 death sentence. It's that serious? Do you know what God did so you wouldn't have to go to hell? He did something, He did something incredible. 230 00:22:34,548 --> 00:22:39,878 He became a human being 2,000 years ago and suffered and died on the cross to take the punishment for the sin of the world. 231 00:22:40,250 --> 00:22:43,358 You and I broke God's law and Jesus paid our fine. 232 00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:47,918 If you're in court, even though you're guilty, if someone pays your fine, the judge can let you go. 233 00:22:48,558 --> 00:22:50,079 Well, God can let you go. 234 00:22:50,079 --> 00:22:56,678 He can forgive your case sentence in an instant and grant you the gift of everlasting life, because He's rich in mercy and 235 00:22:57,019 --> 00:23:00,878 if you'll repent and trust in Him who died on the cross and rose again on the third day, 236 00:23:01,130 --> 00:23:05,650 God will forgive every secret sin you've ever committed and grant you the gift of everlasting life. 237 00:23:06,619 --> 00:23:12,459 Now that's some knowledge. Let me tell you about the the integrity of God. Do you think God can do everything? 238 00:23:13,910 --> 00:23:15,890 [Angel] Yeah, He's God. 239 00:23:15,890 --> 00:23:17,890 [Ray] The Bible says there's something God cannot do. 240 00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:24,040 It's impossible for God to lie and the Bible uses the word impossible, because 241 00:23:24,589 --> 00:23:31,568 lying and deceitfulness is repulsive, is disgusting to God. He would never do it. That means you can trust His integrity. 242 00:23:31,569 --> 00:23:36,038 You can trust His promises. That means when God says it in the Bible, you can trust it. 243 00:23:36,039 --> 00:23:40,898 Do you know the Bible is full of scientific and medical facts, written thousands of years before man discovered them? 244 00:23:42,529 --> 00:23:48,128 It speaks of the Earth's free float in space. Isaiah 40, "the earth hangs upon nothing." It speaks of the earth being round. 245 00:23:48,130 --> 00:23:50,619 "He who sits upon the circle of the earth." It speaks of quarantine. 246 00:23:51,589 --> 00:23:57,068 Lepers were toe dwell alone. We didn't understand quarantine until recent years. It speaks of washing your hands under running water. 247 00:23:58,730 --> 00:24:03,069 Just recently, doctors would wash their hands in a bowl of still water with germs kept on their hands. 248 00:24:03,069 --> 00:24:06,218 We didn't understand those principles and if people had understood them, 249 00:24:06,740 --> 00:24:12,069 literally millions of lives would have been saved through the years, because we wouldn't have spread diseases as we have. 250 00:24:12,859 --> 00:24:15,009 [Angle] If they'd read the Bible and believed it, they would have known. 251 00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:19,269 [Ray] If people had read the Bible and believe it, yeah, they would have known and lives would have been saved. 252 00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:23,499 So do you think I'm telling the truth about God can grant you everlasting life in an instant? 253 00:24:23,779 --> 00:24:29,049 [Angel] Yes. [Ray] You've got to do two things to be saved: repent and trust Christ. When are you gonna do that? 254 00:24:29,809 --> 00:24:32,229 [Angel] As soon as possible. Today. I 255 00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:38,590 think I could do it today, yes. [Ray] It's just a matter of apologizing to God for your sins and saying, "Lord, 256 00:24:38,589 --> 00:24:41,528 I trust you. You cannot lie. I trust your integrity. 257 00:24:41,529 --> 00:24:48,398 I'm going to lean myself upon you and trust you with my eternal salvation." That make sense? [Angle] Yes. [Ray] Can I pray with you? 258 00:24:49,099 --> 00:24:52,750 It wouldn't make any difference to you to know the Bible's full of medical and scientific facts? 259 00:24:53,809 --> 00:24:55,669 [Rock] Not really. 260 00:24:55,670 --> 00:24:57,590 [Ray] You know, if you were on a plane and 261 00:24:57,589 --> 00:24:59,529 you didn't see you'll need to put on a parachute, 262 00:24:59,529 --> 00:25:01,529 one of the best things I could do for you 263 00:25:01,630 --> 00:25:04,270 would be to hang you out of the plane by your ankles for five seconds 264 00:25:04,490 --> 00:25:09,549 and when you come in, your good sense would kick in, you'd say, "Give me that parachute," because you know 265 00:25:09,549 --> 00:25:10,240 you're in danger. 266 00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:15,069 And so knowing the Bible is full of scientific and medical facts won't bring you to Christ, 267 00:25:15,319 --> 00:25:18,668 but knowing you're in danger will. Do you think you're in danger when you die? 268 00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:23,920 [Rock] You're in danger in every day of life. [Ray] But I mean eternal danger. 269 00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:27,369 I don't mean, you know, in danger of being hit by a car. I mean in danger of ending up in hell. 270 00:25:29,630 --> 00:25:33,790 Let me hang you up the plane by your ankles just for a second, Rock. Okay? It won't take long. 271 00:25:33,789 --> 00:25:39,219 It won't be very pleasant, but it'll be very profitable for you. How many lies have you told in your whole life? [Rock] Oh, thousands, 272 00:25:40,519 --> 00:25:48,069 I'm sure. [Ray] You ever stolen something? [Rock] I'm sure plenty of times when I was a kid. I've stolen, I mean, 273 00:25:49,730 --> 00:25:57,339 kids see something shiny, they like it. They're gonna grab it. [Ray] Gold or diamonds. Have you ever used God's name in vain? [Rock] Oh, yeah. 274 00:25:58,190 --> 00:26:01,749 [Rock] Jesus said, if you look at a woman and lust for her, you commit adultery with her in your heart. 275 00:26:01,750 --> 00:26:03,750 Have you ever done that? [Rock] Of course. 276 00:26:03,829 --> 00:26:08,589 [Ray]Jesus said, if you look at a woman and lust for her, you commit adultery with her in your heart. 277 00:26:08,589 --> 00:26:10,589 Have you ever looked at a woman with lust? 278 00:26:10,759 --> 00:26:16,239 [Joshua] I'll always look at that woman with lust and love and I wanna have them. [Ray] Rock, 279 00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:18,880 you've just told me you're a lying, thieving, blasphemous, adulterer at heart 280 00:26:19,549 --> 00:26:21,549 and you've got to face God on Judgment Day, so 281 00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:26,028 when you stand before Him and He judges you by the commandments, are you going to be innocent or guilty? 282 00:26:27,630 --> 00:26:29,630 [Rock] Guilty. [Ray] Heaven or hell? 283 00:26:30,210 --> 00:26:33,048 [Rock] Hell. [Ray] This is where your good sense should kick in, 284 00:26:33,569 --> 00:26:37,220 where you say, "Hey, I need a Savior. I need to put on the Lord Jesus Christ. 285 00:26:37,220 --> 00:26:42,620 I need my sins forgiven and God's provided a Savior, one who died on the cross for our sins, took our punishment 286 00:26:43,319 --> 00:26:46,460 so we wouldn't have to go to hell. If you're in court, even though you're guilty, 287 00:26:46,460 --> 00:26:51,590 if someone pays your fine, the judge can let you go and God can let you go. 288 00:26:51,589 --> 00:26:54,408 He can let you live forever, because of what Jesus did through his death and resurrection. 289 00:26:54,569 --> 00:26:58,639 What you have to do is repent and trust in Him like you'd trust a parachute. 290 00:26:59,009 --> 00:27:03,439 "Put on the Lord Jesus Christ," the scriptures say, so would you at least think about this, Rock? 291 00:27:04,259 --> 00:27:05,819 [Rock] I'll give it thought. 292 00:27:05,819 --> 00:27:08,688 [Ray] Jesus died on the cross to take the punishment for the sin of the world. 293 00:27:08,690 --> 00:27:10,350 You need not go to hell, 294 00:27:10,349 --> 00:27:15,078 because he paid the fine for the law that you and I broke and then he rose from the dead and defeated death. 295 00:27:15,079 --> 00:27:19,220 [Joshua] I study a lot of Qur'an. I found out a lot of them is lie and cheater. 296 00:27:19,829 --> 00:27:25,250 At the same time, I talked to the priest and the nun priests. They don't believe you 297 00:27:25,769 --> 00:27:27,359 by their Bible. 298 00:27:27,359 --> 00:27:27,889 "Well, 299 00:27:27,890 --> 00:27:32,329 they don't believe the Bible, but you can and if you believe the Bible you'll put it into practice, 300 00:27:32,460 --> 00:27:37,009 because it's got a threat of Hell and a promise of Heaven and you can't make a mistake on this one. 301 00:27:37,009 --> 00:27:39,009 [Ray] You've got a little kid you love? 302 00:27:39,058 --> 00:27:41,038 [Rock] Two of them. 303 00:27:41,038 --> 00:27:43,038 [Ray] What are you going to say to them when they say, "Daddy, 304 00:27:43,648 --> 00:27:45,648 why am I gonna die?" 305 00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:54,288 [Rock] Well, my daughter is currently growing up a Christian; she's 10 years old. [Ray] You're talking to me today because of her prayers. 306 00:28:12,970 --> 00:28:18,328 That religion is just absolutely uncalled for. We are just mere things floating on a rock in space. 307 00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:23,201 Believing in God makes no sense. To me, it's the dumbest thing. 308 00:28:23,201 --> 00:28:26,068 We are not only figuratively, but literally 309 00:28:26,679 --> 00:28:28,679 stardust. 310 00:28:30,880 --> 00:28:34,199 Are you an atheist? I am say you're an atheist. Yes 311 00:28:34,839 --> 00:28:37,819 Yes, I am. 312 00:28:37,819 --> 00:28:39,869 I need to know what to believe in! Like what happens when you don't 313 00:28:39,869 --> 00:28:41,459 Yeah! I don't want to be a bag of dust. 314 00:28:41,460 --> 00:28:46,649 Did you know that 54 million people die every year, people just like you and me who loved life? 315 00:28:51,750 --> 00:28:57,779 [Ray]If you were shown evidence you would change your mind because you're open. [] Absolutely I think I am open to evidence. 316 00:28:57,779 --> 00:29:01,798 []It just would have to be extraordinarily compelling, like out-of-this-world compelling. 317 00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:09,239 [Ray] Has this made you think today? [] It definitely has. []I'll definitely consider this. [] Eye-opening. [] Wow. 318 00:29:11,170 --> 00:29:16,170 []I hope I get enough guts to get myself out of this stinking planet! [Ray] You gonna kill yourself? [] I'd like to. 319 00:29:18,778 --> 00:29:21,828 [Ray]Can you see what you're doing? []Yeah. I'm lying to myself.
