-
Oh.
-
So, Mario, are you spiritual?
Yes.
-
What do you mean by that?
-
The way I grew up,
-
my heart was in my neighborhood.
-
But my love,
-
I've always been loyal to love, I've
always known that, but it deceived me.
-
I confuse the two.
-
If you confuse the two, they let you down
and I feel you have to pick yourself up.
-
Yourself up.
You can't pick yourself up.
-
Is that what you mean
by spiritual self-improvement?
-
Yes.
Talking about God
-
self-improvement.
That's what I believe in.
-
I believe in all religions
have a universal meaning.
-
I believe in the power of the universe.
-
I believe that we're all just
human and we're all here
-
to spread love.
And that's all I got to do.
-
So
-
do you think God created everything?
-
Do you think evolution created everything?
-
We can never know ever.
You may not believe.
-
I know, I know you can
know within that, Mario.
-
I know you don't know.
Yeah.
-
Can I say we can never know?
-
That's limiting your knowledge
-
to everything about how amazing life is.
-
I mean, look at the blueness
of the sky and the sun.
-
Everything about the sun.
-
How incredible is how incredible it is.
-
It's 93 million miles away
and it's just warm enough to write me.
-
It made us any closer.
-
We're all dead further away.
-
We're all dead.
-
If I think about how
amazing that is, I do.
-
How did they get there?
-
I had to learn it myself.
-
I had to go within
-
and nobody can teach it for you.
-
You have to go in and you can
unlock the secrets to the universe.
-
If your loyalty lies in the love
for yourself, that's it.
-
Love yourself.
I do love God.
-
I love God.
-
But in my mind, God is
the entire universe.
-
So I left the entire cold pantheism
-
spring, the painter and the painting.
-
You don't love the painting.
-
You love the painter because he's
the genius that created the painting.
-
And so if you love creation,
-
you're setting your affection
on the creation rather than the creator.
-
And that's called inordinate
affection Sorona of affections.
-
If your mom gave you a gift and you love
the gift more than you love your mother,
-
there's something wrong
you should be saying.
-
Hey, Mom, thanks for this car.
-
I'm grateful to you, not to the car.
-
Grateful to you for the gift.
-
Makes sense.
-
I personally know who I
am and why I'm here.
-
I found my purpose from within.
-
I know that to be true.
-
I've never lost that my entire
life I've been the same person.
-
You need love.
-
You can't be a man without love.
-
You have to separate yourself from love
in order to find that for yourself.
-
Nobody else can do it for you.
That's the point.
-
You trust yourself?
I do.
-
How many?
Let me ask you a question.
-
Spell the word shop
-
as a shop.
-
What do you do when you
come to a green light?
-
You go to work Bellwood silk
as I ok, what a cows drink.
-
Am I ok?
No, I drink water.
-
I never trust yourself because
we are easily deceived.
-
The Bible says he who trusts
his own heart is a fool.
-
A lot of people are dead because
they trusted their own heart.
-
They made judgments.
-
I can beat that track and overtake
this car and they couldn't.
-
Wrong judgment.
Let me ask another question.
-
You said your concept of God
is that he is the universe.
-
Yeah.
-
Do you think God is happy
with you or angry at you?
-
Depending on what you do,
God will love you for it.
-
Either way, that's what I believe in.
-
So how you doing morally?
-
I mean, you stay true to yourself.
God will love you.
-
It doesn't matter what you do as long as
-
you know in your heart you're
doing it for the right reason.
-
Love.
-
You have nothing to worry about
in this world whatsoever.
-
It's called faith.
Let's see how you do.
-
Do you think you're a good person?
Yes.
-
How many lies have you told in your life?
-
I've lost count.
-
What do you call someone
who's told lies a liar.
-
So you've blown that one.
-
You have stolen something even of yours.
-
Even a it's small.
Yeah.
-
You call someone who steals a liar thief.
-
If you deny that you lie still cheat
and deceit, you become those things.
-
And that's what you have to understand is
human, is that you can't lose yourself
-
in yourself because that's
the double edged sword of love.
-
It's out there.
-
You just got to find it for yourself
in order to truly know what it is.
-
And I just want to push that to everybody
-
that's now you saying
that you found yourself
-
what a mankind's origins.
-
Where do we come from?
-
Women.
-
But I mean originally.
-
I don't mean from your mother.
-
I mean, where did what
-
what's the origin of humanity,
authenticity and love the origin?
-
Where do we come from?
What was in the beginning?
-
Man and woman.
Yeah, but for men and women who created
-
man and woman a higher power,
who was their God?
-
Why do we exist as human beingsto love?
-
And we're.
Where are you going when you die?
-
Whatever you did here?
-
It depends.
It's true.
-
Now the third commandment.
-
You should not take God's name in vain.
-
If you ever use God's name in vain,
-
would you use your mother's
name as a cuss word?
-
Ever.
Never.
-
Because you honor her, but you
haven't loved and honored God.
-
You've used his name as a falsehood
-
to express disgust,
which is called blasphemy.
-
So serious it's punishable
by death in the Old Testament.
-
Appreciate your honesty
-
and your and your patience with me.
-
Now, Jesus said if you look at a woman
and last for her, commit adultery with her
-
in your heart. Have you ever
looked at a woman with last?
-
Yes, I'm a man.
-
Had sex before marriage.
-
Yes, I'm a man.
So marry.
-
I'm not judging you.
You judge yourself.
-
But you've told me you're a lying,
thieving, blasphemous,
-
fornicating adulterer at heart and you
have to face God on judgment day.
-
If he judges you by the Ten Commandments
-
of looked at four, you're going
to be innocent or guilty,
-
guilty, heaven or hell,hell.
-
Does that concern you
-
deep down here horrifies me.
We've just met.
-
I love you.
I care about you.
-
The thought of you going
to hell just breaks my heart.
-
Do you know what death actually is?
-
According to the Bible enlightenment?
-
Well, no, it's wages says
the wages of sin is death.
-
God's given you death as wages
for your son is paying you in death.
-
He's given you capital punishment like
-
a judge looks at a heinous criminal, is
rape three girls and then murdered them.
-
He says you've earned the death sentence.
This is your wages.
-
This is what's due to you.
-
And sin is so serious to God,
-
Maria,
that he's given you capital punishment,
-
lying, thieving, blasphemous,
fornicating adulterer at heart.
-
Now, tell me,
-
what did God do for guilty sinners
so we wouldn't have to go to hell?
-
Do you remember
-
he came up with the idea
-
that depending on what you do here,
you're either good or bad and that's it.
-
You just got to stick to it
and have the faith in that.
-
And that's not what he did.
-
Jesus suffered and died on the cross
for the sin of the world.
-
The Ten Commandments are
called the moral law.
-
You and I broke the law.
-
Jesus paid the fine.
-
That's what happened on that cross.
-
Mario, if you're in court and someone
pays your fine, a judge can let you go.
-
Did you know that?
-
You can say, Mario, there's
a stack of speeding fines here.
-
This is deadly serious,
but someone's paid him.
-
You're free to go and he can do that,
which is legal and right.
-
And just and God loves you so much.
-
He became a human being,
-
suffered and died on the cross to take
the punishment for the sin of the world.
-
That means you don't
have to end up in hell.
-
God can legally forgive you sentence
because he's the lover of your soul.
-
And then Jesus rose from the dead
and defeated death.
-
Mario, if you give up the battle and just
say, God, I'm a rebel and you repent
-
and trust in Christ,
God will forgive every cent you've ever
-
committed and grant everlasting
life as a free gift.
-
Do you believe what I'm saying?
-
Yes, it's the gospel truth.
-
I wouldn't lie to you.
-
Are you ready to repent
and trust in Christ?
-
Yes, I pray with you.
-
Sure, although I pray for Mario.
-
Think we met today.
Thank you.
-
We met today.
I pray today.
-
He'll truly repent
and trust in Jesus and have a since
-
forgiven and a second pass from death
to life in Jesus name we pray.
-
Amen.
You have a Bible.
-
I
-
know.
-
I'm, I'm going to give you some literature
that you know while you're weeping.
-
Any idea
-
because I have sinned as a man.
-
OK, that's called contrition.
-
And the Bible says godly sorrow.
-
Being sorry for your
sins works repentance.
-
So I trust today that God's
brought conviction of sin to you.
-
And, you know, you have sinned against God
and you'll understand that
-
God can forgive you and grant you
everlasting life as a free gift.
-
I've got some literature for you.
-
OK, Mario, thank you for talking to me.
I really appreciate it.
-
I appreciate you interviewing me.
-
I do.
-
A friend recently asked me to send him
-
the full Mario interview so they
could show it to his church.
-
Then he sent me this email.
OK.
-
They were blown away yesterday by the
Mario video, brought several to tears.
-
Not kidding.
-
I closed out the service by asking
-
who would attend a class where we could
learn how to do what we just saw.
-
They do half the church said sign them up
-
and more from the half that didn't
will once they see it happening.
-
When he asked what he should use,
I suggested the basic training course.
-
You need only know how to click, play the
course, does all the teaching for you.
