CARTER, THIS IS ALAN. 08:07 I CALLED BECAUSE I'M VERY CURIOUS AS TO WHY GOD ALLOWED 08:11 POLYGAMY IN THE OLD TESTAMENT, AND IF YOU COULD HELP ME OUT BY 08:14 ANSWERING THAT, I'D BE GREATLY APPRECIATIVE. 08:16 THANK YOU. 08:17 >> GOOD QUESTION. 08:19 THERE'S NO DOUBT ABOUT IT, POLYGAMY IS TAUGHT IN 08:21 THE OLD TESTAMENT. 08:22 NOT IN THE NEW TESTAMENT, BUT POLYGAMY IS FOUND IN 08:23 THE OLD TESTAMENT. 08:27 NOW EVERYBODY KNOWS, I IMAGINE, WHAT POLYGAMY IS. 08:32 POLYGAMY IS WHEN A MAN HAS MULTIPLE WIVES. 08:37 AND YOU FIND THAT THIS IS SO IN THE OLD TESTAMENT, AT LEAST 08:39 ON A NUMBER OF OCCASIONS. 08:41 WE'RE GONNA TAKE OUR BIBLES AND WE'RE TURN FIRSTLY TO GENESIS 25 08:46 AND THE FIRST TEXT IS, WHAT DID I SAY? 08:49 GENESIS 25:5-6, IT SAYS, "ABRAHAM LEFT EVERYTHING 08:57 HE OWNED TO ISAAC. 09:00 BUT WHILE HE WAS STILL LIVING, HE GAVE GIFTS TO THE SONS OF HIS 09:05 CONCUBINES AND SENT THEM AWAY FROM HIS SON ISAAC TO THE LAND 09:09 OF THE EAST." 09:10 AND SO IT'S QUITE APPARENT IN THE BIBLE THAT POLYGAMY WAS 09:15 PRACTICED, HOWEVER, THIS WAS NOT GOD'S ORIGINAL INTENTION. 09:21 IF YOU COME OVER TO THE WORDS OF OUR LORD IN THE NEW TESTAMENT 09:25 AND COME OVER HERE TO MATTHEW 19:7-8. 09:33 ALAN, THIS IS JESUS TALKING. 09:39 THEY'RE DISCUSSING DIVORCE. 09:41 "'WHY THEN,' THEY ASKED, 'DID MOSES COMMAND THAT A MAN 09:44 GIVE HIS WIFE A CERTIFICATE OF DIVORCE AND SEND HER AWAY?' 09:49 JESUS REPLIED, 'MOSES PERMITTED YOU TO DIVORCE YOUR WIVES 09:54 BECAUSE YOUR HEARTS WERE HARD. 09:57 BUT IT WAS NOT THIS WAY FROM THE BEGINNING.'" 10:01 WHEN YOU READ THE BOOK OF GENESIS, WE'RE TOLD THAT GOD 10:04 CREATED MAN AND WOMAN IN HIS 10:08 OWN IMAGE. 10:10 AND WHEN YOU READ THE STORY OF GENESIS AT THE VERY BEGINNING, 10:14 IT'S ONE MAN AND IT'S ONE WOMAN. 10:18 GOD IS A VERY, VERY PATIENT GOD WITH US, JUST AS WELL HE'S 10:24 LIKE THAT. 10:27 BUT AS TIME WENT BY, PAGANISM JUST ABOUT TOOK OVER 10:32 THE WHOLE WORLD. 10:34 IT BECAME THE ACCEPTED CUSTOM AND BECAUSE THESE PEOPLE WERE 10:39 EVEN THE PEOPLE OF GOD BECAME INFLUENCED BY THE DARKNESS 10:44 OF THE AGE, GOD PERMITTED SOME THINGS. 10:48 GOD ALLOWED THEM TO DO IT, BUT GOD WAS REVEALING GREAT 10:53 GOSPEL TRUTHS. 10:55 AND WHEN THOSE GOSPEL TRUTHS CAME, SLAVERY WENT. 10:59 NOW YOU FIND SLAVERY ALL THE WAY THROUGH THE BIBLE. 11:02 UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, HAD SLAVES UNTIL ONLY RELATIVELY 11:06 RECENT TIMES. 11:07 BUT AS THE GOSPEL WAS PREACHED AND AS THE LIGHT OF THE GOSPEL 11:12 WENT OUT AROUND THE WORLD, SO SLAVERY WAS DONE AWAY WITH 11:16 AND ALSO POLYGAMY. 11:20 NOW THERE IS A GREAT CHURCH IN AMERICA THAT USED TO PRACTICE 11:23 POLYGAMY AND THEY DO IT ON THE BASIS OF THE BIBLE, 11:26 THE OLD TESTAMENT. 11:27 BUT IF A PERSON DEFENDS POLYGAMY TODAY, HE OUGHT ALSO TO DEFEND 11:33 SLAVERY AND BOTH OF THESE PRACTICES ARE CONTRARY TO 11:37 THE WORD OF GOD. 11:38 COME OVER HERE TO ACTS 17. 11:41 ACTS 17 IN THE NEW TESTAMENT. 11:45 ACTS 17:30. 11:45 ACTS, WHAT DID I SAY? 11:51 CHAPTER 17. 11:52 ACTS 17:30, THE BIBLE SAYS, "IN THE PAST, GOD OVERLOOKED SUCH," 12:00 WHAT DOES IT SAY? 12:01 SUCH IGNORANCE. 12:03 "BUT NOW HE COMMANDS ALL PEOPLE EVERYWHERE TO REPENT." 12:07 THAT'S THE SAME WITH SLAVERY AND THAT'S THE SAME WITH POLYGAMY 12:09 AND SOME OTHER THINGS THAT WERE 12:13 PRACTICED IN THE BIBLE. 12:14 BECAUSE OF THE DARKNESS OF THE TIMES, GOD PERMITTED THESE SINS, 12:20 BUT NOW THAT THE GOSPEL HAS COME, HE COMMANDS MEN AND WOMEN 12:25 EVERYWHERE TO REPENT. 12:27 LET'S TAKE THE SECOND PHONE CALL, PLEASE. 12:27 >> HI, PASTOR CARTER, THIS IS 12:30 ALMA FROM THE SANTA CLARITA VALLEY. 12:32 HOW ARE YOU DOING TODAY? 12:34 I HAVE A QUESTION FOR YOU THAT HAS BEEN PENDING ON MY MIND 12:36 FOR A WHILE. 12:37 AND THE QUESTION IS, IS THERE A WAY TO LOSE YOUR SALVATION? 12:41 IS THAT POSSIBLE? 12:43 >> THE BIBLE DOES NOT TEACH THE IDEA OF ONCE SAVED, 12:47 ALWAYS SAVED. 12:47 THERE ARE MANY CHRISTIANS WHO 12:50 BELIEVE THAT ONCE YOU'RE SAVED, YOU CAN'T BE LOST, AND THIS 12:52 LEADS TO SLACKNESS OF LIVING AND ANTINOMIANISM WHERE PEOPLE 12:59 BREAK THE COMMANDMENTS OF GOD AND THEY THINK THEY'RE STILL 13:02 GOING TO BE SAVED. 13:03 THE BIBLE SAYS A PERSON CAN BE SAVED AND HE CAN LOSE HIS WAY 13:09 AND HE CAN BE LOST. 13:10 WOULD YOU COME OVER HERE TO LUKE 8 AND VERSES 11 13:15 THROUGH TO 14. 13:17 LUKE 8:11 DOWN TO 14. 13:17 THIS IS THE PARABLE OF THE SOWER 13:27 GIVEN TO US BY JESUS. 13:30 LUKE 8:11, "THIS IS THE MEANING OF THE PARABLE: THE SEED IS 13:37 THE WORD OF GOD." 13:38 THAT IS WHY IN THIS CHURCH, WE TELL YOU TO BRING THE BIBLE 13:41 AND THAT IS WHY THE BIBLE IS PREACHED THIS IN CHURCH. 13:44 YOU SEE? 13:45 "THE SEED IS THE WORD OF GOD. 13:46 THOSE ALONG THE PATH ARE THE ONES WHO HEAR, AND THEN 13:49 THE DEVIL COMES AND TAKES AWAY THE WORD FROM THEIR HEARTS, 13:53 SO THAT THEY MAY NOT BELIEVE AND BE SAVED." 13:58 HERE BELIEVING IS EQUATED WITH SOMETHING ELSE. 14:02 WHAT IS IT? 14:03 BEING SAVED. 14:05 SO IF A PERSON TRULY BELIEVES WITH ALL HIS HEART, 14:08 THE BIBLE SAYS, HE'S SAVED. 14:10 SO THAT THEY MAY NOT BELIEVE AND BE SAVED. 14:13 "THOSE ON THE ROCK ARE THE ONES WHO RECEIVE THE WORD WITH JOY 14:18 WHEN THEY HEAR IT, BUT THEY HAVE NO ROOT. 14:21 THEY BELIEVE FOR A WHILE." 14:23 THIS MEANS THEY'RE TRUSTING CHRIST FOR A WHILE AND THEREFORE 14:27 THEY ARE SAVED FOR A WHILE. 14:31 "BUT THEY HAVE NO ROOT. 14:33 THEY BELIEVE FOR A WHILE, BUT IN THE TIME OF TESTING 14:36 THEY FALL AWAY. 14:38 THE SEED THAT FELL AMONG THORNS STANDS FOR THOSE WHO HEAR, BUT 14:42 AS THEY GO ON THEIR WAY THEY ARE CHOKED BY LIFE'S WORRIES, RICHES 14:49 AND PLEASURES," NOW LISTEN, ALMA, "AND THEY DO NOT MATURE." 14:54 MONEY, THE LOVE OF MONEY, ANXIETY, THE CARES OF THIS LIFE. 14:59 THESE ARE THE REASONS PEOPLE LOSE THEIR SALVATION. 15:03 "BUT THE SEED ON GOOD SOIL STANDS FOR THOSE WITH A NOBLE 15:08 AND GOOD HEART, WHO HEAR THE WORD, RETAIN IT, AND BY 15:12 PERSEVERING PRODUCE A CROP." 15:15 IF YOU WANT TO BE SAVED, YOU GOTTA START WELL. 15:19 YOU GOTTA BELIEVE BUT THE BIBLE SAYS, YOU'VE GOT TO PERSEVERE 15:24 AND YOU PERSEVERE BY READING THE WORD OF GOD AND BY PRAYING 15:29 AND BY GOING TO CHURCH AND BY FEEDING ON THE WORD OF GOD AND 15:33 LETTING THE WORD OF GOD GET DOWN INSIDE AND MAKING SURE THAT THE 15:38 WORD OF GOD STAYS DOWN INSIDE. 15:41 NOW SOMEBODY ELSE ON THE LINE. 15:44 >> HELLO, HI, MY NAME'S JOSH. 15:46 I'M A COLLEGE STUDENT AND I WAS WONDERING, SHOULD WE PRAY TO 15:49 JESUS OR TO GOD? 15:51 THANKS PASTOR CARTER. 15:53 >> REALLY GOOD QUESTION BECAUSE, JOSH, A LOT OF PEOPLE 15:56 ARE CONFUSED ABOUT THIS. 15:58 YOU GO ALONG TO CHURCH AND PEOPLE WILL PRAY TO GOD 16:01 THE FATHER AND OTHER PEOPLE WILL PRAY TO JESUS, GOD THE SON. 16:03 NOW IS GOD UNDERSTANDING? 16:09 GOD UNDERSTANDS THE INTENT OF THE HEART, AND WE SHOULDN'T 16:12 CRITICIZE PEOPLE BECAUSE THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO PRAY. 16:15 AND THEN SOMETIMES YOU'LL GO ALONG TO CHURCH AND THE PERSON 16:18 WILL SAY A BEAUTIFUL PRAYER AND THEN AT THE END OF 16:20 THE PRAYER HE SAYS, AMEN. 16:22 BUT HE DOESN'T SAY IT IN THE NAME OF JESUS. 16:26 A PRAYER SHOULD BE ADDRESSED TO GOD THE FATHER AND IT SHOULD BE 16:30 PRAYED IN THE NAME OF JESUS. 16:30 THAT'S WHAT THE BIBLE TEACHES. 16:35 THAT'S WHAT JESUS SAID. 16:36 COME OVER HERE TO MATTHEW 6:9. 16:40 MATTHEW 6:9, "THIS, THEN, IS HOW YOU SHOULD PRAY." 16:46 NOW JESUS TELLS US, "OUR FATHER IN HEAVEN, HALLOWED BE YOUR 16:52 NAME." 16:52 WE SHOULD PRAY TO OUR FATHER. 16:55 WE SHOULD PRAY TO GOD THE FATHER. 16:58 AND THEN IF YOU COME OVER HERE TO JOHN 14, MATTHEW, MARK, 17:02 LUKE AND JOHN, JOHN 14:13. 17:08 THE BIBLE TELLS US WE NEED TO PRAY IN THE NAME OF GOD THE SON. 17:13 JOHN 14:13, I BELIEVE IT IS. 17:22 JESUS SAID, "AND I WILL DO WHATEVER YOU ASK IN MY NAME." 17:28 WE ASK IN HIS NAME. 17:30 "I WILL DO WHATEVER YOU ASK IN MY NAME, SO THAT THE SON MAY 17:35 BRING GLORY TO THE FATHER." 17:38 "YOU MAY ASK FOR ANYTHING," HE SAID, "IN MY NAME." 17:40 AND SO IF YOU WANT TO PRAY AS 17:46 THE BIBLE TEACHES, YOU AND I OUGHT TO PRAY TO THE FATHER AND 17:50 WE PRAY IN THE NAME OF JESUS. 17:54 I THINK WE'VE GOT SOMEBODY ELSE. 17:54 >> HELLO PASTOR CARTER, 18:00 THIS IS JOSE-- I WOULD LIKE TO ASK YOU 18:04 A QUESTION, VERY IMPORTANT QUESTION. 18:09 WHY ARE THERE DIFFERENT RACES AND HOW DID THIS HAPPEN? 18:16 THANK YOU, PASTOR CARTER. 18:19 >> WELL, JOSE, THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION. 18:23 WHY ARE THERE DIFFERENT RACES? 18:23 I'M GLAD THERE ARE. 18:28 WE'VE GOT A UNITED NATIONS RIGHT HERE IN THIS CHURCH. 18:31 WE'VE GOT ANGLO PEOPLE. 18:34 WE HAVE HISPANIC PEOPLE. 18:36 WE HAVE BLACK FOLKS. 18:38 WE HAVE ASIAN FOLKS. 18:39 I'M GLAD THAT GOD MADE IT THIS WAY. 18:43 IT WOULD BE TOO BAD IF EVERYBODY MMM, JUST LOOKED LIKE ME. 18:48 [LAUGHING] THAT WOULD BE ANOTHER SORT OF 18:52 HOT POTATO. 18:53 NOW, WOULD YOU COME OVER HERE TO THE BOOK OF ACTS, I THINK IT IS, 18:57 YES, CHAPTER 17:26. 18:57 ACTS 17:26, "FROM ONE MAN HE 19:08 MADE EVERY NATION OF MEN, THAT THEY SHOULD INHABIT THE WHOLE 19:13 EARTH; AND HE DETERMINED THE TIMES SET FOR THEM AND THE EXACT 19:18 PLACES WHERE THEY SHOULD LIVE." 19:22 THE BIBLE TELLS ME THAT I AM A CHILD OF GOD. 19:27 NOW THE BIBLE TELLS ME THAT THE WHOLE OF THE HUMAN RACE 19:32 CAME FROM ONE COUPLE. 19:35 I KNOW I MUST BE TERRIBLY OLD FASHIONED, BUT I DO NOT BELIEVE 19:41 THAT MY ANCESTORS CAME DOWN FROM THE TREES. 19:45 DON'T BELIEVE THAT. 19:47 AND SOME OF MY FRIENDS IN AUSTRALIA, AND YOU KNOW WE USED 19:50 TO BE A CONVICT SETTLEMENT THERE A COUPLE HUNDRED YEARS AGO, 19:54 A LITTLE BIT LIKE THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. 19:57 BUT I HAD A FRIEND OVER THERE WHO WOULD SAY, "I KNOW," 20:01 HE SAID, "WHAT YOU SAY." 20:02 BUT HE SAID, "I--MY ANCESTORS MIGHT HAVE SWUNG BY THEIR NECKS, 20:07 BUT THEY NEVER SWUNG BY THEIR TAILS." 20:08 SO, WE COME FROM THE HAND 20:15 OF GOD. 20:15 WE'RE MADE IN THE IMAGE OF GOD. 20:17 IT APPEARS THAT WHEN GOD MADE THE HUMAN RACE, HE PUT INTO 20:26 THE GENETIC CODE IN THE DNA AND THE RNA, A TREMENDOUS 20:34 POTENTIAL FOR VARIATION. 20:37 THIS IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. 20:40 THERE'S A BOOK BEEN WRITTEN ABOUT THIS CALLED 20:42 "THE LANGUAGE OF GOD." 20:44 NOW I DON'T AGREE WITH EVERYTHING IN THAT BOOK, BUT THE 20:47 AUTHOR SAYS, DR. COLLINS SAID, "IN THE HUMAN GENOME, YOU CAN 20:54 SEE THE LANGUAGE OF GOD WITH A TREMENDOUS ABILITY TO VARY. 21:02 AND SO HE MADE TALL, BLACK FOLKS. 21:06 AND HE MADE SHORT AND FAT WHITE FOLKS. 21:12 HE MADE ALL DIFFERENT TYPES. 21:14 AND OVER THE YEARS, ACCORDING TO HIS PROVIDENCE, HE ALLOWED THAT 21:20 GENETIC CODE TO GET TO WORK. 21:22 AND THAT GENETIC CODE PRODUCED ALL THE VARIATION WE SEE TODAY 21:27 IN THE HUMAN RACE. 21:29 BUT THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS THAT WE COME FROM THE HAND OF 21:33 GOD AND EVERY PERSON IS IMPORTANT, MADE IN THE IMAGE 21:38 OF GOD. 21:40 NOW WE'VE GOT ANOTHER HOT POTATO COMING ON. 21:41 >> HI, PASTOR CARTER. 21:44 MY NAME'S JUSTINE. 21:45 I'M A HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT FROM CALIFORNIA. 21:48 DOES GOD LOVE HOMOSEXUALS? 21:50 THANK YOU, PASTOR CARTER. 21:53 >> JUSTINE, THE BIBLE TELLS ME THAT GOD LOVES EVERYBODY. 21:58 I REMEMBER WHEN I FIRST WENT TO RUSSIA, PEOPLE WOULD SAY TO ME, 22:03 "WHY DO YOU GO TO THAT GODLESS COUNTRY? 22:07 GOD MUST HATE THE COMMUNISTS." 22:10 I TOLD THEM, GOD LOVES THE COMMUNISTS. 22:14 GOD LOVES PEOPLE. 22:15 GOD LOVES ATHEISTS. 22:18 GOD LOVES GOOD PEOPLE. 22:20 GOD LOVES BAD PEOPLE. 22:21 GOD LOVES THE HUMAN RACE. 22:23 COME WITH ME TO--I GUESS IT'S THE MOST WONDERFUL TEXT 22:27 IN THE BIBLE. 22:29 COME OVER HERE TO JOHN 3:16, PLEASE. 22:34 JOHN 3:16. 22:37 SO IF YOU'RE A HOMOSEXUAL, I WANT YOU TO KNOW TODAY 22:41 THAT GOD LOVES YOU. 22:44 PLEASE LOOK AT JOHN 3:16. 22:44 WE SHOULDN'T NEED TO TURN 22:51 TO THIS TEXT. 22:52 "FOR GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD THAT HE GAVE HIS ONE AND ONLY SON, 22:57 THAT WHOEVER BELIEVES IN HIM SHALL NOT PERISH BUT HAVE 23:01 ETERNAL OR EVERLASTING LIFE." 23:05 I REMEMBER SEEING ON TELEVISION, A GREAT PARADE IN WASHINGTON. 23:07 AND HOMOSEXUALS WERE MARCHING 23:12 DOWN THE STREET, DEMANDING THEIR RIGHTS, HOLDING UP SOME 23:15 BIG BILLBOARDS. 23:18 AND THERE WAS A LARGE GROUP OF CHRISTIANS STANDING OPPOSITE 23:21 AND THEY WERE HOLDING UP THESE BILLBOARDS THAT SAID, "BURN," 23:27 IN A DESCRIPTIVE TERM. 23:29 "BURN. 23:30 BURN. 23:31 YOU'RE GONNA BURN FOREVER IN HELL." 23:34 OTHER PEOPLE WERE HOLDING UP "IN THE NAME OF JESUS, 23:37 GOD HATES HOMOSEXUALS." 23:40 I WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT GOD LOVES HOMOSEXUALS. 23:47 HE LOVES HETEROSEXUALS. 23:49 GOD LOVES EVERYBODY. 23:52 WOULD YOU COME OVER HERE TO ROMANS 5:8? 23:53 ROMANS 5:8. 24:00 AND THE APOSTLE PAUL SAYS, ROMANS 5:8, "BUT GOD 24:05 DEMONSTRATES HIS OWN LOVE FOR US IN THIS: WHILE WE WERE STILL 24:10 SINNERS, CHRIST DIED FOR US." 24:14 THE BIBLE TELLS ME THAT CHRIST DIED FOR SINNERS. 24:19 CHRIST DIED FOR HOMOSEXUALS. 24:23 HE DIED FOR HETEROSEXUALS. 24:25 HE DIED FOR BISEXUALS. 24:28 HE DIED FOR COMMUNISTS AND HE DIED FOR ATHEISTS. 24:31 JESUS LOVES EVERYBODY. 24:34 BUT I WANT TO MAKE THIS PLAIN TODAY BECAUSE I DON'T WANT YOU 24:37 TO MISUNDERSTAND THIS. 24:39 I WANT TO MAKE IT ABUNDANTLY CLEAR THAT GOD LOVES 24:43 HOMOSEXUALS. 24:44 IF YOU'RE A HOMOSEXUAL, YOU'RE WELCOME IN THIS CHURCH. 24:48 YOU HEAR THIS?

BIBLE INSTEAD OF THE KING JAMES VERSION. 32:25 WHY ARE SOME TEXTS MISSING? 32:29 >> MMM, JEREMY. 32:32 I GET THIS QUESTION MANY TIMES. 32:34 I USE THE KING JAMES VERSION. 32:34 IT'S NOT THE ST. JAMES VERSION, 32:38 YOU KNOW? 32:39 PEOPLE SAY, "WE GOT THE ST. JAMES VERSION." 32:42 THAT'S THE VERSION THAT JAMES USED BACK IN THE DAYS OF JESUS. 32:45 THE KING JAMES VERSION IS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL BIBLE EVER 32:51 WRITTEN. 32:53 WRITTEN DURING THE TIME OF KING JAMES. 32:56 IT IS THE BIBLE, NOT OF NORTH AMERICA, BUT THE BIBLE OF MY 33:01 MOTHER CHURCH, THE CHURCH OF ENGLAND. 33:04 SO WHEN PEOPLE COME TO ME AND THEY SAY, "WE JUST THINK YOU 33:07 OUGHT TO BE USING THE KING JAMES VERSION." 33:10 I SAY I DO USE IT. 33:11 I'VE GOT COPIES OF IT AND I'M SO GLAD THAT YOU ARE SO FOND OF MY 33:18 OLD MOTHER CHURCH, THE CHURCH OF ENGLAND. 33:22 AS THEY CALL IT HERE, THE EPISCOPAL CHURCH. 33:26 I'LL TELL YOU WHY. 33:29 THE KING JAMES VERSION, PUBLISHED IN 1611, WAS BASED 33:36 UPON THE BEST KNOWLEDGE OF THE TIMES AND THE GREATEST NUMBER 33:42 OF MANUSCRIPTS. 33:43 PEOPLE SAY, "WELL, WHY DIDN'T YOU GO? 33:45 WHY DIDN'T WE JUST GO BACK TO THE ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPTS?" 33:51 BECAUSE THERE ARE NONE IN EXISTENCE. 33:52 WHAT? 33:53 NO. 33:54 NO, OF COURSE NOT. 33:55 WHEN THEY FOUND THE DEAD SEA SCROLLS, RELATIVELY RECENTLY, 33:59 ONLY 50 YEARS AGO OR SOMETHING, THAT TOOK US BACK A THOUSAND 34:05 YEARS BEFORE THE THEN PRESENT MANUSCRIPTS. 34:10 TOOK BACK A THOUSAND YEARS TO 200, 150 B.C. 34:16 THERE IS A SCIENCE IN WORKING OUT WHAT IS THE MOST ACCURATE 34:23 TEXT AND THAT IS BY GETTING THE OLDEST TEXT. 34:28 THAT IS WHY THE DEAD SEA SCROLLS ARE WORTH THEIR WAIT, 34:33 NOT IN DIAMONDS BUT YOU CAN'T VALUE THEM. 34:37 IT'S THE WORD OF GOD. 34:38 IT'S THE BIBLE THAT JESUS USED, BASICALLY. 34:42 NOW, I WANT TO SAY SOMETHING TO YOU. 34:46 YOU SAY, "WHY ARE SOME TEXTS MISSING?" 34:48 WELL, THERE'S NOT TOO MANY TEXTS MISSING AT ALL. 34:51 IN 1 JOHN IT SAYS IN THE KING JAMES VERSION, "THERE ARE THREE 34:54 THAT BEAR WITNESS IN HEAVEN, THE FATHER, THE SON 34:56 AND THE HOLY SPIRIT. 34:57 IN THESE THREE ARE ONE." 34:59 YOU DON'T FIND THAT IN THE N.I.V. 35:01 BECAUSE WE NOW KNOW THAT WAS A LATER ADDITION TO THE TEXT. 35:05 BUT LET ME CUT TO THE CHASE. 35:09 LET ME JUST GET TO THE BOTTOM LINE HERE. 35:11 IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT VERSION YOU'RE GOING TO USE, IF YOU'VE 35:15 GOT AN OPEN HEART, THIS BIBLE WILL LEAD YOU TO SALVATION. 35:19 YOU DON'T WANT TO BE HUNG UP ON THE TRANSLATION AND BE 35:22 CRITICIZING PEOPLE BECAUSE THEY DON'T USE YOUR TRANSLATION. 35:26 I'VE HAD PEOPLE WRITE TO ME AND THEY SAY, "DO YOU USE 35:28 THE N.I.V. IN RUSSIA?" 35:31 WELL, I SAY TO THEM, NO, I USE THE RUSSIAN TRANSLATION. 35:35 "I BEG YOUR PARDON." 35:36 YEAH, THEY DON'T HAVE THE N.I.V. 35:38 "WELL, YOU GOT--WELL, WHY DON'T YOU USE THE KJV?" 35:41 WELL, IT'S AN ENGLISH TRANSLATION. 35:45 NOW THE SPANISH PEOPLE USE A LOT OF THE KJV, WHICH HAS BEEN 35:48 TRANSLATED FROM HEBREW AND GREEK INTO ENGLISH, THEN INTO SPANISH. 35:53 BUT LET ME TELL YOU, FOLKS, WE OUGHT TO STOP ARGUING ABOUT 35:57 TRANSLATIONS AND WE OUGHT TO START READING THE BIBLE 36:00 AND OBEYING IT. 36:02 AS THE MAN SAID, HE SAID, "IT'S NOT THE THINGS IN THE BIBLE 36:06 THAT I DON'T UNDERSTAND THAT WORRY ME." 36:08 HE SAID, "IT'S THE THINGS THAT I DO UNDERSTAND BUT DON'T DO." 36:12 HMM. 36:14 SO WHATEVER BIBLE YOU'VE GOT, YOU JUST READ THAT BIBLE EVERY 36:19 DAY AND BELIEVE THAT BIBLE AND PRACTICE THAT BIBLE. 36:24 OKAY? 36:26 NOW, HERE I AM WAITING FOR THE NEXT QUESTION. 36:27 >> HI PASTOR CARTER. 36:31 MY NAME IS JONI FROM LOS ANGELES. 36:33 I ENJOY YOUR PREACHING. 36:35 I HAVE A QUESTION FOR YOU, IS HELL ETERNAL? 36:39 >> JONI, IS HELL ETERNAL? 36:44 FIRSTLY, JONI, THE BIBLE TEACHES THAT ONE DAY THERE WILL BE HELL. 36:46 PEOPLE SAY, "YOU FOLKS DON'T 36:50 BELIEVE IN HELL." 36:51 I SURE DO BELIEVE IN HELL. 36:53 JESUS SPOKE ABOUT HELL THAT WAS A FIRE SO HOT THAT NOTHING COULD 37:00 PUT OUT THAT FIRE. 37:02 BUT THE BIBLE TEACHES THAT HELL, AFTER IT IS CONSUMED ALL THOSE 37:08 OUTSIDE THE GOSPEL, THE FIRE WILL GO OUT. 37:13 NOW LET ME TELL YOU A WORD. 37:15 IF YOU TURN TO CHRIST AND REPENT OF YOUR SINS, YOU'RE GOING 37:19 TO BE SAVED. 37:20 BUT THE BIBLE TEACHES IF PEOPLE TURN AWAY FROM THE GOSPEL 37:27 AND APOSTATIZE FROM CHRIST, THE BIBLE SAYS THEY WILL BE CAST 37:31 INTO HELL. 37:33 JESUS PREACHED ON HELL OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN. 37:38 BUT ONCE THE FIRE HAS BURNED UP THE WICKED, THE FIRE IS GOING TO 37:42 GO OUT. 37:43 COME OVER HERE TO JUDE 7. 37:43 AND HERE IT TALKS ABOUT THE 37:48 CITIES OF SODOM AND GOMORRAH. 37:51 JUDE 7, "IN A SIMILAR WAY, SODOM AND GOMORRAH AND THE SURROUNDING 37:59 TOWNS GAVE THEMSELVES UP," WHAT DOES IT SAY? 38:02 "TO SEXUAL IMMORALITY AND PERVERSION." 38:06 GOD CARES. 38:08 "THEY SERVE, WHAT DOES IT SAY? 38:10 "AS AN EXAMPLE OF THOSE WHO SUFFER THE PUNISHMENT--" 38:16 WHAT SORT OF FIRE? 38:17 YEAH, OF ETERNAL FIRE. 38:20 THE CITIES OF SODOM AND GOMORRAH, MY FRIENDS, WERE 38:23 DESTROYED BY ETERNAL FIRE AND THAT FIRE WAS HOTTER THAN THOSE 38:30 POTATOES THAT JAVIER HAD. 38:30 HAVE YOU EVER SEEN SO MUCH STEAM 38:34 COME OFF POTATOES? 38:35 I'VE NEVER SEEN SO MUCH STEAM. 38:38 HE MUST HAVE AN AMAZING OVEN AT HIS PLACE. 38:41 THEY MUST HAVE BEEN HOT BEFORE HE LEFT HOME BECAUSE THEY HAD 38:44 TIME TO COOL OFF GETTING HERE TO CHURCH. 38:47 BUT THE FIRE IS GONNA BE SO HOT, THE WORLD IS GOING TO BE 38:53 DISSOLVED BY THAT FIRE. 38:55 AND WHEN THE FIRE HAS DONE ITS WORK, THE FIRE IS GOING 38:59 TO GO OUT. 39:02 MMM-HMM. 39:03 BECAUSE THAT'S HOW IT HAPPENED WITH SODOM AND GOMORRAH. 39:06 THOSE CITIES AREN'T BURNING TODAY. 39:08 LISTEN, I WANT TO DROP THIS THOUGHT INTO YOUR PURE MINDS. 39:13 I BELIEVE WE HAVE A HEAVEN TO WIN AND I BELIEVE WE'VE GOT 39:17 A HELL TO SHUN. 39:19 I BELIEVE THIS. 39:20 I BELIEVE THAT IF I TURN AWAY FROM CHRIST AND THE GOSPEL AND I 39:24 BECOME SLACK AND I WANDER AWAY FROM GOD AND I GIVE UP, 39:28 I BELIEVE I'M GONNA BE CAST INTO HELL. 39:31 THAT'S WHAT I BELIEVE. 39:32 I BELIEVE THAT IT'S TRUE WITH YOU, AND THAT IS WHY I URGE YOU 39:37 TO READ YOUR BIBLES AND TO TRUST IN CHRIST, AND AS THE BIBLE 39:41 SAYS, TO PERSEVERE. 39:44 I THINK THAT WAS THE FIRST QUESTION. 39:45 SO YES, JONI, THERE IS HELL AND THE FIRE'S GOING TO GO OUT. 39:49 OKAY, WE'RE WAITING FOR THE NEXT PHONE CALL, WHICH I THINK IS 39:52 NUMBER NINE. 39:52 >> HELLO, THIS IS STEVE FROM 39:56 LA CRECENTA. 39:57 I WAS CURIOUS ABOUT SOMETHING, DO ROMAN CATHOLICS HAVE 40:01 A DIFFERENT GOSPEL? 40:05 >> A VERY PERCEPTIVE QUESTION. 40:10 LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING THAT NOT ONE CHRISTIAN IN A HUNDRED 40:16 KNOWS OR UNDERSTANDS, AND MOST ARE NOT INTERESTED IN. 40:21 AND THIS IS WHY THEIR LIVES LACK THE POWER OF GOD. 40:27 AFTER THE PROTESTANT REFORMATION THAT WAS HELD AND LED BY 40:32 MARTIN LUTHER, THE GREAT ROMAN CATHOLIC 40:35 CHURCH--AND WE LOVE ROMAN CATHOLICS. 40:37 WE WANT TO MAKE THAT VERY PLAIN. 40:39 JESUS LOVES ROMAN CATHOLICS. 40:41 WE LOVE ROMAN CATHOLICS. 40:43 THE COUNCIL OF TRENT HELD A GREAT COUNCIL. 40:44 WELL, THE CATHOLIC CHURCH HELD 40:50 A GREAT COUNCIL IN TRENT. 40:53 MARTIN LUTHER TAUGHT THIS. 40:55 NOW THIS IS THEOLOGY, BUT IT'S IMPORTANT THAT YOU UNDERSTAND 41:00 THIS. 41:01 HE TAUGHT SOLA SCRIPTURA. 41:04 ONLY SCRIPTURE. 41:05 IF YOU GO TO A CHURCH WHERE THE BIBLE IS NOT THE SUPREME 41:09 AUTHORITY, YOU'RE IN THE WRONG CHURCH. 41:12 SOLA CHRISTUS, ONLY CHRIST. 41:14 ONLY CHRIST CAN SAVE US, NOT THE CHURCH, NOT THE PRIEST, 41:18 NOT THE MINISTER. 41:19 SOLO CHRISTUS. 41:21 HE TAUGHT SOLA GRATIA. 41:22 ONLY GRACE. 41:24 WE'RE SAVED ONLY BY THE GRACE OF GOD. 41:26 AND THEN HE TAUGHT SOLA FIDE. 41:27 ONLY FAITH. 41:30 HE TALKED THAT A MAN IS JUSTIFIED THROUGH THE ATONING 41:34 SACRIFICE OF CHRIST JESUS OUR LORD, NOT BY VIRTUE OF HIS 41:40 OWN WORKS BUT BY THE SHEER MERCY OF GOD WHICH HE ACCEPTS 41:44 BY MERE FAITH. 41:47 THAT IS THE RUNNING CRY OF THE REFORMATION. 41:52 NOW COME OVER HERE TO ROMANS 4:3-4. 41:57 NOW I WOULD WISH THAT YOU WOULD MEMORIZE THE FIRST EIGHT 42:02 CHAPTERS OF ROMANS. 42:02 MANY PEOPLE HAVE. 42:08 ROMANS 4:3-4, "WHAT DOES THE SCRIPTURE SAY? 42:16 'ABRAHAM BELIEVED GOD, AND IT WAS CREDITED TO HIM 42:20 AS RIGHTEOUSNESS.'" IF YOU TRULY BELIEVE IN CHRIST 42:24 AND CONFESS YOUR SINS, GOD CREDITS YOU WITH 42:28 THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF CHRIST. 42:32 THIS IS THE GOSPEL, THAT GOD LOVES YOU SO MUCH THAT YOU ARE 42:37 SAVED, NOT BY YOUR WORKS BUT BY CHRIST'S WORKS. 42:41 HE CREDITS RIGHTEOUSNESS SO THAT YOU STAND IN THE SIGHT OF A HOLY 42:45 GOD AS THOUGH YOU HAD NEVER, NEVER EVER SINNED. 42:49 HOW AMAZING. 42:51 VERSE 4, "NOW WHEN A MAN WORKS, HIS WAGES ARE NOT CREDITED 42:57 TO HIM AS A GIFT, BUT AS AN OBLIGATION. 43:00 HOWEVER, TO THE MAN WHO DOES NOT WORK," THE SALVATION, 43:04 "BUT TRUSTS GOD WHO JUSTIFIES THE WICKED, HIS FAITH IS 43:08 CREDITED AS RIGHTEOUSNESS." 43:11 THIS MEANS THAT YOU CAN BE RIGHT WITH GOD, RIGHT NOW IF YOU HAVE 43:16 TRUE FAITH IN CHRIST. 43:17 SAY, "AMEN." 43:20 IT'S THE GREATEST DOCTRINE IN THE BIBLE. 43:22 NOW LOOK AT ROMANS 5:1, "THEREFORE, SINCE WE HAVE BEEN 43:28 JUSTIFIED THROUGH FAITH," NOT BY VIRTUE OF OUR FAITH, BUT THROUGH 43:33 FAITH, "WE HAVE PEACE WITH GOD THROUGH OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST." 43:38 NOW LOOK AT ME. 43:40 WHAT I'M TELLING YOU IS HISTORICAL. 43:42 NOT ONE PERSON IN THE CHURCH IN A HUNDRED UNDERSTANDS THIS. 43:44 THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH TAUGHT 43:49 THAT JUSTIFICATION WAS NOT A DECLARATION, AS WE TEACH 43:53 FROM THE BIBLE. 43:54 THEY TAUGHT IT WAS A PROCESS. 43:57 IT WAS A PROCESS THAT WAS CARRIED OUT BY THE HOLY SPIRIT 44:00 WORKING IN THE HEART. 44:02 I BELIEVE IN THE PROCESS OF THE HOLY SPIRIT WORKING IN 44:04 THE HEART, BUT NOT IN ORDER THAT I MIGHT BE SAVED, 44:07 BUT BECAUSE I AM SAVED. 44:09 YOU SEE? 44:10 AND SO THEY TURNED JUSTIFICATION INTO SANCTIFICATION. 44:13 AND AFTER A PERSON HAS HAD ENOUGH WORK OF THE HOLY SPIRIT 44:17 IN HIS HEART, HE IS FINALLY COMPLETELY RIGHTEOUS 44:21 AND HE CAN GO TO HEAVEN. 44:23 BUT IF HE'S NOT READY, HE GOES TO PURGATORY AND PURGATORY IS 44:27 THE GRACE OF GOD WHEREBY THE WORK CAN CONTINUE IN HIS HEART. 44:30 THAT IS ROMAN CATHOLIC THEOLOGY. 44:33 THIS IS THE THEOLOGY OF MOTHER TERESA. 44:36 MOTHER TERESA CONFESSED BEFORE SHE DIED AND SHE WROTE IT DOWN 44:40 IN A GREAT CORRESPONDENCE THAT THERE NEVER A DAY WHEN SHE HAD 44:45 JOY AND HAPPINESS AND FELT THE LOVE OF GOD. 44:48 YOU CAN READ THIS. 44:50 SHE FELT, "I WAS DAMNED." 44:51 SHE SAID, "I FELT I SHOULD GIVE IT ALL UP AND BECOME AN ATHEIST 44:55 BECAUSE THAT WOULD BE BETTER." 44:57 BECAUSE SHE WAS TRYING AND TRYING AND TRYING, BUT SHE KNEW 45:01 THAT AFTER ALL HER TRYING, EVEN BY THE GRACE OF GOD, 45:05 SHE WAS NOT GOOD ENOUGH. 45:08 NOW MILLIONS OF PEOPLE ARE LIKE THAT. 45:11 BUT YOU WILL NEVER KNOW THE GOSPEL UNLESS YOU'RE PREPARED TO 45:15 STUDY AND OPEN UP YOUR HEARTS AND CONFESS YOUR SINS. 45:19 MOST OF US DO NOT TAKE OUR RELIGION SERIOUSLY. 45:22 IT'S JUST LIKE GOING TO LAS VEGAS FOR US, AND WE NEED TO 45:26 REALIZE WE HAVE A HEAVEN TO WIN AND A HELL TO SHUN AND THAT WE 45:32 CAN ONLY BE SAVED BY COMING AS PENITENT SINNERS TO CHRIST. 45:37 AND WHEN WE COME IN THAT WAY, WE ARE DECLARED RIGHTEOUS AND WE 45:40 HAVE PEACE WITH GOD AND WE DON'T GO TO HEAVEN WITH THE BAGGAGE. 45:45 WE GO TO HEAVEN FIRST CLASS. 45:47 NOW, LET'S TAKE--LET'S KEEP THE QUESTIONS COMING. 45:50 >> HI, MY NAME IS SUSAN AND I 45:53 LOVE WATCHING YOUR PROGRAM ON TELEVISION, PASTOR CARTER, 45:56 AND I HAVE A QUESTION FOR YOU. 45:57 I'M 60 POUNDS OVERWEIGHT AND I LOVE CHOCOLATE. 46:01 I KNOW THAT CHOCOLATE IS GOOD FOR YOU. 46:03 CAN I KEEP EATING IT? 46:05 >> WELL, SUSAN, I CERTAINLY PLAN TO KEEP EATING IT, BUT I WOULD 46:11 THINK PERHAPS YOU OUGHT TO CUT BACK. 46:13 I WANT YOU TO COME OVER HERE TO JOHN 10. 46:17 BUT YOUR PROBLEM IS NOT THE CHOCOLATE UNLESS YOU'RE EATING, 46:21 YOU KNOW, 2 OR 3 POUNDS A DAY. 46:24 JOHN 10 AND WHEN IT SAYS CHOCOLATE IS GOOD FOR YOU, 46:26 A TINY AMOUNT OF DARK CHOCOLATE, DOCTORS SAY, IS GOOD FOR YOU. 46:32 THEY'RE PROBABLY PAID BY THE CHOCOLATE COMPANIES, 46:34 I DON'T KNOW. 46:35 JOHN 10:10, "THE THIEF COMES ONLY TO STEAL AND KILL AND 46:39 DESTROY; I HAVE COME THAT THEY MAY HAVE LIFE, AND HAVE IT TO 46:42 THE FULL." 46:43 GOD WANT YOU TO BE HEALTHY. 46:45 HE WANTS YOU TO BE HAPPY. 46:46 HE WANTS YOU TO BE PEACEFUL, AND I WOULD SAY TO SUSAN WHO CALLED 46:51 IN, THAT GOD CAN HELP YOU. 46:55 YOU NEED TO KNOW THAT HE LOVES YOU. 46:58 YOU NEED TO TRY, BY THE GRACE OF GOD, AND WHAT WE ALL LACK 47:02 IS SELF. 47:03 WE NEED WILLPOWER. 47:05 BUT WE DON'T--NO, WE DON'T NEED WILLPOWER. 47:07 WE NEED GOD POWER IN OUR LIVES, GOD POWER. 47:10 AND WE NEED TO GET BACK TO THE DIET OF GENESIS 1, 47:15 WHICH WAS A VEGETARIAN DIET. 47:18 YEAH, AND NO ALCOHOL, AND WE OUGHT TO TURN AWAY FROM 47:23 REFINED FOODS. 47:26 ALL OF THAT STUFF, AND WE NEED TO HAVE AN EXERCISE PROGRAM 47:31 BECAUSE GOD WANTS THE BEST FOR YOU, SUSAN. 47:35 BUT HE LOVES YOU AND THE EXTRA 60 POUNDS. 47:39 HE LOVES YOU. 47:41 HE DIED FOR YOU. 47:42 HE CARES FOR YOU, BUT HE WANTS THE BEST FOR YOU. 47:47 OKAY, ANOTHER QUESTION. 47:47 >> HI. 47:50 I HAVE A QUESTION. 47:51 THIS IS MICHELLE. 47:52 I'M FROM ARIZONA AND I'D LIKE TO KNOW IF I DON'T GO TO CHURCH 47:56 AND I'M NOT OF ANY RELIGION, DOES GOD STILL LOVE ME? 48:03 >> WE QUOTED A TEXT BEFORE, JOHN 3:16. 48:05 I CAN OFFER YOU A BETTER TEXT. 48:12 "FOR GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD." 48:16 WHEN THE WICKED ARE FINALLY CONSUMED IN THE FLAMES OF FIRE, 48:21 HE'S GOING TO LOVE THEM TO THE END. 48:25 "NO, NO, NO GOD DOESN'T LOVE SINNERS." 48:27 YES, HE DOES BECAUSE THEY'RE STILL HIS CHILDREN AND THEY HAVE 48:31 PULLED THE FIRE DOWN ON THEIR OWN HEADS. 48:34 YOU SEE ON THE WHOLE, GOD DOESN'T NEED TO DESTROY US. 48:37 WE DO A PRETTY GOOD JOB OURSELVES, DON'T WE? 48:39 WITH THE TERRIBLE JUNK WE EAT AND ALL OF THIS STUFF 48:42 AND OUR LIFESTYLES. 48:46 I WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT GOD LOVES YOU AND HE CARES FOR YOU 48:49 AND HE LONGS TO HAVE A RELATIONSHIP WITH YOU. 48:53 AND THEREFORE YOU MAY HAVE BEEN TURNED OFF, THE CHURCH, 48:57 YOU KNOW, THAT MAY BE SO. 49:01 BUT YOU DON'T GO TO CHURCH BECAUSE OF THE PEOPLE. 49:05 YOU GO TO CHURCH BECAUSE OF GOD. 49:07 AND I WOULD LIKE TO SAY, MICHELLE, START TO READ YOUR 49:11 BIBLE. 49:11 START WITH THE GOSPELS, MATTHEW, MARK, LUKE AND JOHN 49:15 AND KNOW THAT HE LOVES YOU. 49:18 WHATEVER YOU DO, HE'LL ALWAYS LOVE YOU. 49:21 BUT BECAUSE HE LOVES YOU, HE WANTS YOU TO BE IN HIS KINGDOM. 49:26 OKAY, ONE OTHER QUESTION. 49:26 >> HELLO, PASTOR CARTER. 49:31 MY NAME IS BOBBY AND I'M FROM SAN FERNANDO, CALIFORNIA. 49:34 I HAVE A CONCERN. 49:36 MY FAMILY SUFFERED A TERRIBLE LOSS. 49:38 MY SISTER JUST PASSED AWAY. 49:40 WILL I EVER SEE HER AGAIN?
