00:51:19.624 --> 00:51:19.757
One. god has not left himself in my
00:51:19.891 --> 00:51:22.827
God has not left himself in my missionary journeys throughout
00:51:22.960 --> 00:51:26.297
Missionary journeys throughout the great things i've
00:51:26.431 --> 00:51:26.998
The great things i've discovered is every single
00:51:27.131 --> 00:51:30.201
Discovered is every single culture had a belief in
00:51:30.334 --> 00:51:30.902
Culture had a belief in invisible all powerful creator
00:51:31.035 --> 00:51:34.872
Invisible all powerful creator god now that that witness of
00:51:35.006 --> 00:51:38.643
God now that that witness of god had certainly become very
00:51:38.776 --> 00:51:42.013
God had certainly become very clouded in both hinduism
00:51:42.146 --> 00:51:45.783
Clouded in both hinduism buddhism, confucianism, islam,
00:51:45.917 --> 00:51:46.517
Buddhism, confucianism, islam, each one had their own
00:51:46.651 --> 00:51:50.254
Each one had their own variation but at the very core
00:51:50.388 --> 00:51:53.825
Variation but at the very core there was an invisible all
00:51:53.958 --> 00:51:54.492
There was an invisible all powerful creator god who made
00:51:54.625 --> 00:51:58.229
Powerful creator god who made everything and in some of those
00:51:58.362 --> 00:52:01.833
Everything and in some of those cultures you couldn't create an
00:52:01.966 --> 00:52:02.600
Cultures you couldn't create an idol to him he that was
00:52:02.734 --> 00:52:05.937
Idol to him he that was absolutely forbidden.
00:52:06.070 --> 00:52:06.504
Absolutely forbidden. so that's what i mean and the
00:52:06.637 --> 00:52:07.305
So that's what i mean and the core there expression of what
00:52:07.438 --> 00:52:10.108
Core there expression of what god does i is completely wrong
00:52:10.241 --> 00:52:14.045
God does i is completely wrong within islam you have no of
00:52:14.178 --> 00:52:17.515
Within islam you have no of salvation.
00:52:17.648 --> 00:52:17.882
Salvation. and so the contrast and what
00:52:18.015 --> 00:52:18.616
And so the contrast and what you tell your father in law is
00:52:18.750 --> 00:52:22.053
You tell your father in law is do you know you're going to be
00:52:22.186 --> 00:52:24.922
Do you know you're going to be in for all eternity?
00:52:25.056 --> 00:52:25.523
In for all eternity? the answer is no.
00:52:25.656 --> 00:52:31.162
