He Didn't Care About God...but was in Tears After Hearing This

  • 0:01 - 0:02
    Oh.
  • 0:05 - 0:08
    So, Mario, are you spiritual?
    Yes.
  • 0:08 - 0:10
    What do you mean by that?
  • 0:12 - 0:14
    The way I grew up,
  • 0:14 - 0:17
    my heart was in my neighborhood.
  • 0:18 - 0:20
    But my love,
  • 0:21 - 0:24
    I've always been loyal to love, I've
    always known that, but it deceived me.
  • 0:24 - 0:26
    I confuse the two.
  • 0:26 - 0:31
    If you confuse the two, they let you down
    and I feel you have to pick yourself up.
  • 0:32 - 0:34
    Yourself up.
    You can't pick yourself up.
  • 0:34 - 0:37
    Is that what you mean
    by spiritual self-improvement?
  • 0:37 - 0:39
    Yes.
    Talking about God
  • 0:39 - 0:41
    self-improvement.
    That's what I believe in.
  • 0:41 - 0:44
    I believe in all religions
    have a universal meaning.
  • 0:44 - 0:46
    I believe in the power of the universe.
  • 0:46 - 0:49
    I believe that we're all just
    human and we're all here
  • 0:49 - 0:52
    to spread love.
    And that's all I got to do.
  • 0:52 - 0:53
    So
  • 0:54 - 0:57
    do you think God created everything?
  • 0:58 - 1:00
    Do you think evolution created everything?
  • 1:00 - 1:04
    We can never know ever.
    You may not believe.
  • 1:04 - 1:06
    I know, I know you can
    know within that, Mario.
  • 1:07 - 1:10
    I know you don't know.
    Yeah.
  • 1:10 - 1:12
    Can I say we can never know?
  • 1:12 - 1:14
    That's limiting your knowledge
  • 1:15 - 1:17
    to everything about how amazing life is.
  • 1:17 - 1:19
    I mean, look at the blueness
    of the sky and the sun.
  • 1:19 - 1:20
    Everything about the sun.
  • 1:20 - 1:22
    How incredible is how incredible it is.
  • 1:23 - 1:26
    It's 93 million miles away
    and it's just warm enough to write me.
  • 1:26 - 1:27
    It made us any closer.
  • 1:27 - 1:28
    We're all dead further away.
  • 1:29 - 1:30
    We're all dead.
  • 1:30 - 1:32
    If I think about how
    amazing that is, I do.
  • 1:33 - 1:34
    How did they get there?
  • 1:34 - 1:35
    I had to learn it myself.
  • 1:35 - 1:37
    I had to go within
  • 1:37 - 1:39
    and nobody can teach it for you.
  • 1:39 - 1:43
    You have to go in and you can
    unlock the secrets to the universe.
  • 1:43 - 1:46
    If your loyalty lies in the love
    for yourself, that's it.
  • 1:47 - 1:49
    Love yourself.
    I do love God.
  • 1:49 - 1:51
    I love God.
  • 1:51 - 1:55
    But in my mind, God is
    the entire universe.
  • 1:55 - 1:58
    So I left the entire cold pantheism
  • 1:58 - 2:00
    spring, the painter and the painting.
  • 2:00 - 2:02
    You don't love the painting.
  • 2:02 - 2:05
    You love the painter because he's
    the genius that created the painting.
  • 2:05 - 2:06
    And so if you love creation,
  • 2:07 - 2:10
    you're setting your affection
    on the creation rather than the creator.
  • 2:10 - 2:14
    And that's called inordinate
    affection Sorona of affections.
  • 2:14 - 2:17
    If your mom gave you a gift and you love
    the gift more than you love your mother,
  • 2:17 - 2:19
    there's something wrong
    you should be saying.
  • 2:19 - 2:20
    Hey, Mom, thanks for this car.
  • 2:20 - 2:23
    I'm grateful to you, not to the car.
  • 2:23 - 2:26
    Grateful to you for the gift.
  • 2:26 - 2:28
    Makes sense.
  • 2:28 - 2:31
    I personally know who I
    am and why I'm here.
  • 2:31 - 2:34
    I found my purpose from within.
  • 2:35 - 2:36
    I know that to be true.
  • 2:36 - 2:40
    I've never lost that my entire
    life I've been the same person.
  • 2:40 - 2:41
    You need love.
  • 2:42 - 2:44
    You can't be a man without love.
  • 2:44 - 2:48
    You have to separate yourself from love
    in order to find that for yourself.
  • 2:49 - 2:51
    Nobody else can do it for you.
    That's the point.
  • 2:51 - 2:53
    You trust yourself?
    I do.
  • 2:53 - 2:55
    How many?
    Let me ask you a question.
  • 2:56 - 2:58
    Spell the word shop
  • 2:58 - 2:59
    as a shop.
  • 3:00 - 3:02
    What do you do when you
    come to a green light?
  • 3:02 - 3:09
    You go to work Bellwood silk
    as I ok, what a cows drink.
  • 3:09 - 3:12
    Am I ok?
    No, I drink water.
  • 3:13 - 3:16
    I never trust yourself because
    we are easily deceived.
  • 3:16 - 3:18
    The Bible says he who trusts
    his own heart is a fool.
  • 3:18 - 3:21
    A lot of people are dead because
    they trusted their own heart.
  • 3:21 - 3:21
    They made judgments.
  • 3:22 - 3:24
    I can beat that track and overtake
    this car and they couldn't.
  • 3:24 - 3:28
    Wrong judgment.
    Let me ask another question.
  • 3:28 - 3:31
    You said your concept of God
    is that he is the universe.
  • 3:31 - 3:32
    Yeah.
  • 3:32 - 3:35
    Do you think God is happy
    with you or angry at you?
  • 3:36 - 3:39
    Depending on what you do,
    God will love you for it.
  • 3:40 - 3:41
    Either way, that's what I believe in.
  • 3:42 - 3:43
    So how you doing morally?
  • 3:43 - 3:46
    I mean, you stay true to yourself.
    God will love you.
  • 3:46 - 3:48
    It doesn't matter what you do as long as
  • 3:48 - 3:50
    you know in your heart you're
    doing it for the right reason.
  • 3:50 - 3:51
    Love.
  • 3:51 - 3:54
    You have nothing to worry about
    in this world whatsoever.
  • 3:54 - 3:55
    It's called faith.
    Let's see how you do.
  • 3:56 - 3:58
    Do you think you're a good person?
    Yes.
  • 3:58 - 4:00
    How many lies have you told in your life?
  • 4:01 - 4:02
    I've lost count.
  • 4:02 - 4:05
    What do you call someone
    who's told lies a liar.
  • 4:05 - 4:07
    So you've blown that one.
  • 4:07 - 4:08
    You have stolen something even of yours.
  • 4:09 - 4:11
    Even a it's small.
    Yeah.
  • 4:11 - 4:15
    You call someone who steals a liar thief.
  • 4:15 - 4:19
    If you deny that you lie still cheat
    and deceit, you become those things.
  • 4:19 - 4:24
    And that's what you have to understand is
    human, is that you can't lose yourself
  • 4:24 - 4:28
    in yourself because that's
    the double edged sword of love.
  • 4:29 - 4:30
    It's out there.
  • 4:30 - 4:33
    You just got to find it for yourself
    in order to truly know what it is.
  • 4:33 - 4:35
    And I just want to push that to everybody
  • 4:35 - 4:38
    that's now you saying
    that you found yourself
  • 4:39 - 4:40
    what a mankind's origins.
  • 4:41 - 4:42
    Where do we come from?
  • 4:42 - 4:43
    Women.
  • 4:43 - 4:44
    But I mean originally.
  • 4:44 - 4:46
    I don't mean from your mother.
  • 4:46 - 4:47
    I mean, where did what
  • 4:47 - 4:52
    what's the origin of humanity,
    authenticity and love the origin?
  • 4:52 - 4:54
    Where do we come from?
    What was in the beginning?
  • 4:54 - 4:57
    Man and woman.
    Yeah, but for men and women who created
  • 4:58 - 5:02
    man and woman a higher power,
    who was their God?
  • 5:02 - 5:05
    Why do we exist as human beingsto love?
  • 5:07 - 5:10
    And we're.
    Where are you going when you die?
  • 5:10 - 5:12
    Whatever you did here?
  • 5:12 - 5:14
    It depends.
    It's true.
  • 5:14 - 5:15
    Now the third commandment.
  • 5:15 - 5:16
    You should not take God's name in vain.
  • 5:17 - 5:19
    If you ever use God's name in vain,
  • 5:19 - 5:22
    would you use your mother's
    name as a cuss word?
  • 5:22 - 5:23
    Ever.
    Never.
  • 5:23 - 5:26
    Because you honor her, but you
    haven't loved and honored God.
  • 5:26 - 5:27
    You've used his name as a falsehood
  • 5:28 - 5:30
    to express disgust,
    which is called blasphemy.
  • 5:30 - 5:33
    So serious it's punishable
    by death in the Old Testament.
  • 5:33 - 5:35
    Appreciate your honesty
  • 5:35 - 5:38
    and your and your patience with me.
  • 5:38 - 5:41
    Now, Jesus said if you look at a woman
    and last for her, commit adultery with her
  • 5:41 - 5:45
    in your heart. Have you ever
    looked at a woman with last?
  • 5:45 - 5:46
    Yes, I'm a man.
  • 5:46 - 5:48
    Had sex before marriage.
  • 5:48 - 5:49
    Yes, I'm a man.
    So marry.
  • 5:49 - 5:51
    I'm not judging you.
    You judge yourself.
  • 5:51 - 5:53
    But you've told me you're a lying,
    thieving, blasphemous,
  • 5:54 - 5:57
    fornicating adulterer at heart and you
    have to face God on judgment day.
  • 5:57 - 5:59
    If he judges you by the Ten Commandments
  • 6:00 - 6:03
    of looked at four, you're going
    to be innocent or guilty,
  • 6:03 - 6:06
    guilty, heaven or hell,hell.
  • 6:07 - 6:09
    Does that concern you
  • 6:10 - 6:13
    deep down here horrifies me.
    We've just met.
  • 6:13 - 6:15
    I love you.
    I care about you.
  • 6:15 - 6:18
    The thought of you going
    to hell just breaks my heart.
  • 6:18 - 6:21
    Do you know what death actually is?
  • 6:21 - 6:23
    According to the Bible enlightenment?
  • 6:23 - 6:27
    Well, no, it's wages says
    the wages of sin is death.
  • 6:27 - 6:31
    God's given you death as wages
    for your son is paying you in death.
  • 6:31 - 6:33
    He's given you capital punishment like
  • 6:33 - 6:37
    a judge looks at a heinous criminal, is
    rape three girls and then murdered them.
  • 6:37 - 6:40
    He says you've earned the death sentence.
    This is your wages.
  • 6:40 - 6:42
    This is what's due to you.
  • 6:42 - 6:45
    And sin is so serious to God,
  • 6:45 - 6:48
    Maria,
    that he's given you capital punishment,
  • 6:49 - 6:51
    lying, thieving, blasphemous,
    fornicating adulterer at heart.
  • 6:51 - 6:52
    Now, tell me,
  • 6:52 - 6:55
    what did God do for guilty sinners
    so we wouldn't have to go to hell?
  • 6:56 - 6:57
    Do you remember
  • 7:00 - 7:02
    he came up with the idea
  • 7:03 - 7:08
    that depending on what you do here,
    you're either good or bad and that's it.
  • 7:08 - 7:11
    You just got to stick to it
    and have the faith in that.
  • 7:11 - 7:13
    And that's not what he did.
  • 7:13 - 7:16
    Jesus suffered and died on the cross
    for the sin of the world.
  • 7:16 - 7:18
    The Ten Commandments are
    called the moral law.
  • 7:18 - 7:20
    You and I broke the law.
  • 7:20 - 7:22
    Jesus paid the fine.
  • 7:22 - 7:25
    That's what happened on that cross.
  • 7:25 - 7:28
    Mario, if you're in court and someone
    pays your fine, a judge can let you go.
  • 7:29 - 7:30
    Did you know that?
  • 7:30 - 7:32
    You can say, Mario, there's
    a stack of speeding fines here.
  • 7:32 - 7:35
    This is deadly serious,
    but someone's paid him.
  • 7:35 - 7:37
    You're free to go and he can do that,
    which is legal and right.
  • 7:37 - 7:40
    And just and God loves you so much.
  • 7:40 - 7:41
    He became a human being,
  • 7:41 - 7:45
    suffered and died on the cross to take
    the punishment for the sin of the world.
  • 7:45 - 7:47
    That means you don't
    have to end up in hell.
  • 7:47 - 7:51
    God can legally forgive you sentence
    because he's the lover of your soul.
  • 7:51 - 7:54
    And then Jesus rose from the dead
    and defeated death.
  • 7:54 - 7:58
    Mario, if you give up the battle and just
    say, God, I'm a rebel and you repent
  • 7:58 - 8:01
    and trust in Christ,
    God will forgive every cent you've ever
  • 8:01 - 8:04
    committed and grant everlasting
    life as a free gift.
  • 8:04 - 8:05
    Do you believe what I'm saying?
  • 8:05 - 8:07
    Yes, it's the gospel truth.
  • 8:07 - 8:08
    I wouldn't lie to you.
  • 8:09 - 8:11
    Are you ready to repent
    and trust in Christ?
  • 8:11 - 8:13
    Yes, I pray with you.
  • 8:13 - 8:15
    Sure, although I pray for Mario.
  • 8:15 - 8:17
    Think we met today.
    Thank you.
  • 8:17 - 8:18
    We met today.
    I pray today.
  • 8:18 - 8:22
    He'll truly repent
    and trust in Jesus and have a since
  • 8:22 - 8:27
    forgiven and a second pass from death
    to life in Jesus name we pray.
  • 8:27 - 8:29
    Amen.
    You have a Bible.
  • 8:29 - 8:30
    I
  • 8:30 - 8:31
    know.
  • 8:32 - 8:35
    I'm, I'm going to give you some literature
    that you know while you're weeping.
  • 8:36 - 8:37
    Any idea
  • 8:37 - 8:40
    because I have sinned as a man.
  • 8:41 - 8:43
    OK, that's called contrition.
  • 8:43 - 8:45
    And the Bible says godly sorrow.
  • 8:45 - 8:47
    Being sorry for your
    sins works repentance.
  • 8:47 - 8:51
    So I trust today that God's
    brought conviction of sin to you.
  • 8:51 - 8:54
    And, you know, you have sinned against God
    and you'll understand that
  • 8:54 - 8:57
    God can forgive you and grant you
    everlasting life as a free gift.
  • 8:57 - 8:59
    I've got some literature for you.
  • 8:59 - 9:02
    OK, Mario, thank you for talking to me.
    I really appreciate it.
  • 9:02 - 9:04
    I appreciate you interviewing me.
  • 9:05 - 9:06
    I do.
  • 9:08 - 9:10
    A friend recently asked me to send him
  • 9:10 - 9:14
    the full Mario interview so they
    could show it to his church.
  • 9:14 - 9:17
    Then he sent me this email.
    OK.
  • 9:17 - 9:22
    They were blown away yesterday by the
    Mario video, brought several to tears.
  • 9:23 - 9:24
    Not kidding.
  • 9:24 - 9:26
    I closed out the service by asking
  • 9:26 - 9:29
    who would attend a class where we could
    learn how to do what we just saw.
  • 9:30 - 9:32
    They do half the church said sign them up
  • 9:33 - 9:37
    and more from the half that didn't
    will once they see it happening.
  • 9:37 - 9:41
    When he asked what he should use,
    I suggested the basic training course.
  • 9:41 - 9:46
    You need only know how to click, play the
    course, does all the teaching for you.
