WEBVTT 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, 00:00:37.869 --> 00:00:42.479 fifteen hundred years before Christ, the Bible spoke of the earth free floating in space. 00:00:43.179 --> 00:00:45.179 "He hangs the earth on nothing." 00:00:46.359 --> 00:00:52.798 Science didn't discover that the earth hangs on nothing until 1650, three thousand years later. 00:01:18.079 --> 00:01:20.079 Encyclopedia Britannica documents that in 00:01:20.629 --> 00:01:23.828 1845, a young doctor in Vienna, named Dr. 00:01:23.829 --> 00:01:28.810 Ignaz Semmelweis was horrified at the death rate of women who gave birth in hospitals. 00:01:29.359 --> 00:01:33.310 As many as 30 percent died after childbirth. 00:01:34.099 --> 00:01:37.928 Semmelweis noted that doctors would examine the bodies of patients who died, 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. 00:01:45.379 --> 00:01:50.408 This was their normal practice, because the presence of microscopic diseases was unknown. 00:01:51.230 --> 00:01:56.649 Semmelweis insisted that doctors wash their hands before each examination. When they did that, 00:01:56.959 --> 00:01:59.649 the death rate immediately dropped down to 2%. 00:02:01.099 --> 00:02:06.009 Look now at the specific instructions the Bible gives to the Hebrew nation, over 00:02:06.500 --> 00:02:09.669 3,000 years ago, when it comes to dealing with disease. 00:02:10.520 --> 00:02:13.749 "And when he who has a discharge is cleansed of his discharge, 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; 00:02:22.310 --> 00:02:24.459 then he shall be clean." 00:02:25.849 --> 00:02:28.149 Nowadays, doctors wash their hands in running water, 00:02:28.150 --> 00:02:31.270 but it wasn't too long ago that they did 00:02:31.270 --> 00:02:36.338 so in a bowl of still water, leaving invisible germs on their hands. 00:02:57.340 --> 00:02:59.340 Leviticus 17 verse 11 says, 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; 00:03:06.310 --> 00:03:08.310 for it is the blood that makes atonement." 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 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 00:03:51.370 --> 00:03:56.280 All told, his doctors took out about 80 ounces of blood over 12 hours, 00:03:56.280 --> 00:03:59.729 which is about 40 percent of an adult's blood volume. 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. 00:04:07.439 --> 00:04:11.490 We replace it or replenish it, because blood gives life to the flesh. 00:04:12.099 --> 00:04:17.968 More than a thousand years before Christ, the Bible stated this recently discovered biological truth. 00:04:18.670 --> 00:04:22.259 "For the life of the flesh is in the blood." 00:04:40.810 --> 00:04:43.050 The Scriptures tell us that the earth is round. 00:04:43.839 --> 00:04:49.229 Isaiah 40:22 says, "It is He who sits above the circle of the earth" 00:04:49.810 --> 00:04:53.369 The word translated, "circle," is the Hebrew word, "khoog," 00:04:54.279 --> 00:04:58.649 which is also translated, "circuit," or, "compass," depending on the context; that 00:04:59.019 --> 00:05:04.348 is, it indicates something spherical, rounded, or arched, not something that's flat or square. 00:05:04.899 --> 00:05:07.228 The Book of Isaiah was written sometime between 00:05:07.870 --> 00:05:09.100 740 and 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 00:05:16.600 --> 00:05:20.939 sink down over the horizon and from his studies of the moon during an eclipse. 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. 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 00:05:32.079 --> 00:05:34.079 300 years earlier. 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 00:05:45.278 --> 00:05:49.499 that the Scriptures inspired Christopher Columbus to sail around the world. 00:06:11.209 --> 00:06:14.198 Matthew Maury is considered the father of oceanography. 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 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." 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 00:06:35.360 --> 00:06:36.979 continental currents. 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. 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. 00:07:25.189 --> 00:07:26.750 He asked, 00:07:26.750 --> 00:07:31.089 "Can you send out lightnings, that they may go, and say to you, 'Here we are!'?" 00:07:34.370 --> 00:07:39.370 This is that light can be sent and then manifest itself in speech. 00:07:40.519 --> 00:07:42.519 But did you know that all electromagnetic 00:07:42.949 --> 00:07:46.839 radiation from radio waves to x-rays travels at the speed of light? 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. 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, 00:08:02.720 --> 00:08:06.160 3,300 years later, when British scientist, James Clark Maxwell, 00:08:06.829 --> 00:08:10.870 suggested that electricity and light waves were two forms of the same thing. 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." 00:08:42.330 --> 00:08:44.330 Everything is finished. 00:08:44.549 --> 00:08:48.978 Nature is complete. The brilliance of the light-giving Sun is finished. 00:08:48.980 --> 00:08:52.579 The blue skies are finished. The clouds drop their rain, 00:08:53.100 --> 00:08:55.219 cleansing the air and giving life to the earth. 00:08:55.860 --> 00:08:57.860 The tall trees are finished, 00:08:58.259 --> 00:09:00.259 giving us oxygen to breathe. 00:09:00.870 --> 00:09:02.870 The rivers are finished, 00:09:03.059 --> 00:09:06.649 teeming with fish and filling our great oceans with water. 00:09:09.029 --> 00:09:11.029 The land is finished, 00:09:11.279 --> 00:09:13.428 yielding plants that give us food to eat. 00:09:14.519 --> 00:09:18.019 Nothing has a half-evolved eye or ear or leg or brain. 00:09:19.089 --> 00:09:20.779 It's all finished, 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. 00:09:29.359 --> 00:09:31.359 Nothing is evolving. 00:09:31.399 --> 00:09:33.139 Everything is finished, 00:09:33.139 --> 00:09:35.139 just as the Bible says. 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. 00:10:12.759 --> 00:10:14.759 It's interesting to note that a 00:10:15.370 --> 00:10:21.688 1993 a scientific study was conducted by the South Korean world class Ship Research Center, KRISO. 00:10:22.179 --> 00:10:25.138 They compared 12 hulls of different shapes and 00:10:25.659 --> 00:10:27.659 discovered that no modern design 00:10:28.059 --> 00:10:30.059 outperformed the biblical model. 00:10:30.519 --> 00:10:34.438 The length of the ark was 6 times its width and 10 times its height. 00:10:34.960 --> 00:10:37.860 Many contemporary ships are built with similar proportions. 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, 00:10:45.610 --> 00:10:48.209 the ark needed only to keep afloat. 00:11:05.208 --> 00:11:06.469 In Leviticus 00:11:06.470 --> 00:11:07.879 13, verse 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. 00:11:16.940 --> 00:11:21.130 In 1490 BC, it gives instructions on what to do if someone has leprosy. 00:11:22.278 --> 00:11:23.870 "He shall be unclean. 00:11:23.870 --> 00:11:27.428 All the days he has the sore he shall be unclean. 00:11:28.009 --> 00:11:30.548 He is unclean, and he shall dwell alone; 00:11:31.309 --> 00:11:34.059 his dwelling shall be outside at the camp." 00:11:35.690 --> 00:11:39.699 Laws of quarantine were not instigated by modern man until the 17th century. 00:11:40.820 --> 00:11:46.179 The devastating black death of the 14th century took an estimated 70 million lives. 00:11:46.789 --> 00:11:50.588 This was because they failed to separate the sick from the healthy. 00:11:51.559 --> 00:11:55.208 When whole families fell ill, it was attributed to bad air. 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. 00:12:28.539 --> 00:12:29.860 In 00:12:29.860 --> 00:12:35.668 Job 40:15, God, Himself, speaks to Job of a creature He created, called, "behemoth." 00:12:36.490 --> 00:12:42.149 Some Bible commentators believe this creature is a hippopotamus, as does this particular commentator. 00:12:43.899 --> 00:12:45.309 "Behold now behemoth, 00:12:45.309 --> 00:12:48.418 which I made with you; he eats grass as an ox. 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: 00:12:56.139 --> 00:12:58.468 the sinews of his stones are wrapped together. 00:12:59.169 --> 00:13:04.019 His bones are as strong pieces of brass; his bones are like bars of iron. 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. 00:13:11.529 --> 00:13:15.749 Surely the mountains bring him forth food, where all the beasts of the field play. 00:13:16.210 --> 00:13:19.979 He lies under the shady trees, in the covert of the reed, and fens. 00:13:20.799 --> 00:13:25.408 The shady trees cover him with their shadow: the willows of the brook compass him about. 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. 00:13:32.830 --> 00:13:35.549 He takes it with his eyes: his nose 00:13:36.190 --> 00:13:38.190 pierces through snares." 00:13:39.970 --> 00:13:43.470 Science can only speculate as to why the dinosaur disappeared, 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; 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 00:13:59.708 --> 00:14:00.979 large tree. 00:14:00.980 --> 00:14:03.519 Clearly, the hippopotamus doesn't qualify. 00:14:05.450 --> 00:14:07.809 Here are the characteristics of this animal: 00:14:08.450 --> 00:14:11.679 It was the largest of all the creatures that God had made. 00:14:12.740 --> 00:14:15.219 It was plant eating, that is, 00:14:15.950 --> 00:14:17.330 herbivorous. 00:14:17.330 --> 00:14:22.389 It had its strength in its hips and a tail like a large tree. 00:14:22.389 --> 00:14:26.558 It had very strong bones, lived among the trees, 00:14:27.080 --> 00:14:29.439 drank massive amounts of water, and 00:14:29.958 --> 00:14:32.348 was not disturbed by a raging river. 00:14:33.409 --> 00:14:36.789 The Bible then says, "He that made him 00:14:37.549 --> 00:14:39.819 can make His sword approach unto him." 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, 00:14:46.250 --> 00:14:48.250 to become extinct. 00:15:00.500 --> 00:15:02.269 [Ray] Do you believe the Bible? 00:15:02.269 --> 00:15:03.409 [Rock] No. 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 00:15:06.500 --> 00:15:10.000 scientific and medical facts written thousands of years before man discovered them? 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." 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, 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. 00:15:44.970 --> 00:15:46.970 Wouldn't that open your heart to it, at least? 00:15:51.120 --> 00:15:53.658 You know what the problem is? It's not intellectual; its moral. 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. 00:15:58.458 --> 00:15:59.429 [Rock] I 00:15:59.429 --> 00:16:02.388 don't believe Bible, Torah, Qur'an, none of them. 00:16:03.059 --> 00:16:05.868 The Bible as much as I study is 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. 00:16:14.429 --> 00:16:16.169 The Jews 00:16:16.169 --> 00:16:18.860 Bible, which is Torah, or a Qur'an is, 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 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. 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 00:16:39.778 --> 00:16:43.187 supernatural in origin; there's many scientific and medical facts in the Bible. 00:16:56.710 --> 00:16:59.609 [Ray] Great bones that are like brass, speaking of a 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. 00:17:25.950 --> 00:17:28.639 [Ray] Have you ever read the Bible, Joshua? [Joshua] How do they make it? 00:17:28.640 --> 00:17:34.009 Do you think it may be a big meteor, about a half mile hit the earth? 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? 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? 00:17:46.589 --> 00:17:47.789 [Joshua] Exactly. 00:17:47.789 --> 00:17:49.789 Nothing came from the Big Bang and then we are here. 00:17:51.390 --> 00:17:53.390 [Ray] Oscar do you believe the Bible? 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. 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? 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, 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? 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, 00:18:20.849 --> 00:18:23.599 so a lot of translation issues might have occurred. 00:18:24.329 --> 00:18:27.138 [Ray] You think God could have preserved His word? 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, 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. 00:18:37.619 --> 00:18:40.009 Juan, I've been reading the Bible every day without fail 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. 00:18:47.269 --> 00:18:49.230 I just haven't understood something. 00:18:49.230 --> 00:18:53.360 The Bible's supernatural in origin. Do you know what that contains scientific facts, written 00:18:53.970 --> 00:18:55.789 thousands of years before man discovered them? 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; 00:19:01.829 --> 00:19:04.698 speaks of the Earth's free float in space. The Book of Leviticus says 00:19:05.309 --> 00:19:07.200 the life of the flesh is in the blood. 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. 00:19:11.700 --> 00:19:13.640 We didn't discover that until recent years. 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 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. 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 - 00:19:27.390 --> 00:19:29.390 you going to be innocent or guilty? 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. 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. 00:19:39.119 --> 00:19:42.988 No thief, nor blasphemer, nor adulterer will enter into the kingdom of God. 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? 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, 00:19:51.670 --> 00:19:54.600 you know, you you believe in what you believe in. I 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? 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, 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. 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, 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 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. 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. 00:20:35.440 --> 00:20:37.980 Now isn't that an insult to you, if I don't have faith in you? 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, 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? 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 00:20:51.599 --> 00:20:54.178 depart from the Living God through an evil heart of unbelief." 00:20:54.849 --> 00:20:58.259 You can never establish a relationship with any human being, without trust. 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, 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, 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. 00:21:13.359 --> 00:21:15.750 How much more should you trust the God who cannot lie? 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. 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, 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. 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? 00:21:35.898 --> 00:21:37.898 [Angel] Yeah, yeah I am. 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? 00:21:43.250 --> 00:21:46.989 [Ray] Well, God can grant you everlasting life. So if you're in an elevator, 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, 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." 00:21:59.720 --> 00:22:04.838 Your knowledge would give you faith that would release you of fear. And 00:22:05.929 --> 00:22:07.730 God can give you knowledge 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? 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? 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. 00:22:24.710 --> 00:22:27.399 [Ray]It's called blasphemy. And if you even do it once in the Old Testament, 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. 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. 00:22:40.250 --> 00:22:43.358 You and I broke God's law and Jesus paid our fine. 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. 00:22:48.558 --> 00:22:50.079 Well, God can let you go. 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 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, 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. 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? 00:23:13.910 --> 00:23:15.890 [Angel] Yeah, He's God. 00:23:15.890 --> 00:23:17.890 [Ray] The Bible says there's something God cannot do. 00:23:19.400 --> 00:23:24.040 It's impossible for God to lie and the Bible uses the word impossible, because 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. 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. 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? 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. 00:23:48.130 --> 00:23:50.619 "He who sits upon the circle of the earth." It speaks of quarantine. 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. 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. 00:24:03.069 --> 00:24:06.218 We didn't understand those principles and if people had understood them, 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. 00:24:12.859 --> 00:24:15.009 [Angle] If they'd read the Bible and believed it, they would have known. 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. 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? 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? 00:24:29.809 --> 00:24:32.229 [Angel] As soon as possible. Today. I 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, 00:24:38.589 --> 00:24:41.528 I trust you. You cannot lie. I trust your integrity. 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? 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? 00:24:53.809 --> 00:24:55.669 [Rock] Not really. 00:24:55.670 --> 00:24:57.590 [Ray] You know, if you were on a plane and 00:24:57.589 --> 00:24:59.529 you didn't see you'll need to put on a parachute, 00:24:59.529 --> 00:25:01.529 one of the best things I could do for you 00:25:01.630 --> 00:25:04.270 would be to hang you out of the plane by your ankles for five seconds 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 00:25:09.549 --> 00:25:10.240 you're in danger. 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, 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? 00:25:20.720 --> 00:25:23.920 [Rock] You're in danger in every day of life. [Ray] But I mean eternal danger. 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. 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. 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, 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, 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. 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. 00:26:01.750 --> 00:26:03.750 Have you ever done that? [Rock] Of course. 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. 00:26:08.589 --> 00:26:10.589 Have you ever looked at a woman with lust? 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, 00:26:16.240 --> 00:26:18.880 you've just told me you're a lying, thieving, blasphemous, adulterer at heart 00:26:19.549 --> 00:26:21.549 and you've got to face God on Judgment Day, so 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? 00:26:27.630 --> 00:26:29.630 [Rock] Guilty. [Ray] Heaven or hell? 00:26:30.210 --> 00:26:33.048 [Rock] Hell. [Ray] This is where your good sense should kick in, 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. 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 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, 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. 00:26:51.589 --> 00:26:54.408 He can let you live forever, because of what Jesus did through his death and resurrection. 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. 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? 00:27:04.259 --> 00:27:05.819 [Rock] I'll give it thought. 00:27:05.819 --> 00:27:08.688 [Ray] Jesus died on the cross to take the punishment for the sin of the world. 00:27:08.690 --> 00:27:10.350 You need not go to hell, 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. 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. 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 00:27:25.769 --> 00:27:27.359 by their Bible. 00:27:27.359 --> 00:27:27.889 "Well, 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, 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. 00:27:37.009 --> 00:27:39.009 [Ray] You've got a little kid you love? 00:27:39.058 --> 00:27:41.038 [Rock] Two of them. 00:27:41.038 --> 00:27:43.038 [Ray] What are you going to say to them when they say, "Daddy, 00:27:43.648 --> 00:27:45.648 why am I gonna die?" 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. 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. 00:28:19.000 --> 00:28:23.201 Believing in God makes no sense. To me, it's the dumbest thing. 00:28:23.201 --> 00:28:26.068 We are not only figuratively, but literally 00:28:26.679 --> 00:28:28.679 stardust. 00:28:30.880 --> 00:28:34.199 Are you an atheist? I am say you're an atheist. Yes 00:28:34.839 --> 00:28:37.819 Yes, I am. 00:28:37.819 --> 00:28:39.869 I need to know what to believe in! Like what happens when you don't 00:28:39.869 --> 00:28:41.459 Yeah! I don't want to be a bag of dust. 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? 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. 00:28:57.779 --> 00:29:01.798 []It just would have to be extraordinarily compelling, like out-of-this-world compelling. 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. 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. 00:29:18.778 --> 00:29:21.828 [Ray]Can you see what you're doing? []Yeah. I'm lying to myself.
