  • Doug batchelor: in january 2010, a minivan struck and killed a
  • 00:00:09.601 --> 00:00:13.739
  • Man crossing a brooklyn street - especially tragic because this
  • 00:00:13.739 --> 00:00:17.943
  • Was no ordinary man. joe rollino would have been
  • 00:00:17.943 --> 00:00:21.480
  • 105 years old in march. his friends said he was
  • 00:00:21.480 --> 00:00:24.850
  • The model of health. a world war ii vet with three
  • 00:00:24.850 --> 00:00:28.287
  • Purple hearts, rollino got his start in the 1920s at the coney
  • 00:00:28.287 --> 00:00:31.990
  • Island carnival, billed as 'the strongest man in the world'.
  • 00:00:31.990 --> 00:00:36.462
  • Five-feet five-inches tall and weighing 150 pounds, for his
  • 00:00:36.462 --> 00:00:40.799
  • Size he was one of the strongest men ever.
  • 00:00:40.799 --> 00:00:44.303
  • He could move 3200 pounds with his back, lift 475 pounds with
  • 00:00:44.303 --> 00:00:49.441
  • His teeth, and 635 pounds he could lift with one finger.
  • 00:00:49.441 --> 00:00:55.280
  • At joe rollino's 103rd birthday party, a friend gave him a
  • 00:00:55.280 --> 00:00:58.350
  • Quarter and rollino bent it with his fingers.
  • 00:00:58.350 --> 00:01:01.720
  • He then apologized because he used to do it with a dime.
  • 00:01:01.720 --> 00:01:05.424
  • Did i mention that joe rollino didn't drink or smoke, he
  • 00:01:05.424 --> 00:01:08.760
  • Exercised daily, and he was a life-long vegetarian?
  • 00:01:08.760 --> 00:01:12.698
  • You know, the bible also makes a connection between a very strong
  • 00:01:12.698 --> 00:01:16.001
  • Man and a unique lifestyle. the bible says samson did not
  • 00:01:16.001 --> 00:01:20.139
  • Drink and he stayed away from unclean foods.
  • 00:01:20.139 --> 00:01:23.442
  • Would you like to live to a healthy 100?
  • 00:01:23.442 --> 00:01:26.044
  • Anything is possible when we follow god's health plan.
  • 00:01:26.044 --> 00:01:29.615
  • So join me now, as we take a deeper look into this
  • 00:01:29.615 --> 00:01:32.384
  • Life-changing subject.
  • 00:01:32.384 --> 00:01:34.653
  • Doug: tonight i'm going to be sharing a topic
  • 00:01:38.490 --> 00:01:41.860
  • That i think the christian world is long overdue
  • 00:01:41.860 --> 00:01:48.100
  • To understand this issue and people have suffered greatly
  • 00:01:48.100 --> 00:01:52.304
  • Because they do not understand this principle from the bible
  • 00:01:52.304 --> 00:01:55.707
  • That is very practical. now, our message tonight is
  • 00:01:55.707 --> 00:02:00.779
  • Dealing with the subject of healing, health and holiness.
  • 00:02:00.779 --> 00:02:05.250
  • It begins with a story that you find in a book of prophecy and
  • 00:02:05.250 --> 00:02:09.721
  • It's in daniel chapter 1. it tells that after king
  • 00:02:09.721 --> 00:02:12.958
  • Nebuchadnezzar had conquered babylon, he took some of the -
  • 00:02:12.958 --> 00:02:17.462
  • The brightest and the best of the nation and he brought them
  • 00:02:17.462 --> 00:02:20.132
  • With him back to babylon and he said, 'look, we're going to
  • 00:02:20.132 --> 00:02:23.302
  • Train you in the language of the chaldeans.
  • 00:02:23.302 --> 00:02:25.604
  • We're going to feed you from our cafeteria for three years and
  • 00:02:25.604 --> 00:02:28.907
  • We're going to prepare to you to be ambassadors representing your
  • 00:02:28.907 --> 00:02:31.877
  • Part of the world and go to the university of babylon.' and you
  • 00:02:31.877 --> 00:02:37.449
  • Think, 'well, that will be really good.
  • 00:02:37.449 --> 00:02:38.784
  • You'd be eating from the babylonian cafeteria.'
  • 00:02:38.784 --> 00:02:41.553
  • But there's a problem with that. babylonians ate things that god
  • 00:02:41.553 --> 00:02:47.226
  • Had told his people they're not supposed to eat.
  • 00:02:47.226 --> 00:02:49.995
  • So daniel and his three friends that had been carried off to
  • 00:02:49.995 --> 00:02:52.598
  • Babylon: shadrach, meshach, abednego - their hebrew names
  • 00:02:52.598 --> 00:02:57.102
  • Were hananiah, mishael, azariah - they said, 'we can't eat that.
  • 00:02:57.102 --> 00:03:00.872
  • Please let us eat pulse' - or vegetables - 'and just give us a
  • 00:03:00.872 --> 00:03:06.044
  • Chance.' and the man who was in charge of the eunuchs, he said,
  • 00:03:06.044 --> 00:03:09.081
  • 'i can't do that because if you start looking scrawny and sick,
  • 00:03:09.081 --> 00:03:12.417
  • I'm responsible for your health and education - my head'll be on
  • 00:03:12.417 --> 00:03:15.921
  • The block.' they said, 'you give us ten days.' notice it says in
  • 00:03:15.921 --> 00:03:19.758
  • Daniel 1, verse 8, "but daniel purposed in his heart that he
  • 00:03:19.758 --> 00:03:23.095
  • Would not defile" - he would not what?
  • 00:03:23.095 --> 00:03:25.497
  • Congregation: defile. doug: "defile himself with a
  • 00:03:25.497 --> 00:03:28.300
  • Portion of the king's meat." so they proposed, to ashpenaz,
  • 00:03:28.300 --> 00:03:33.205
  • Prince of the eunuchs, "prove your servants" - 'test us' -
  • 00:03:33.205 --> 00:03:36.441
  • "for ten days, let us have pulse to eat and water to drink."
  • 00:03:36.441 --> 00:03:40.245
  • - 'we're not going to eat the babylonian food and the
  • 00:03:40.245 --> 00:03:42.014
  • Fermented wine.' and the bible says he consented to that - "and
  • 00:03:42.014 --> 00:03:47.386
  • At the end of the ten days their countenances appeared fairer and
  • 00:03:47.386 --> 00:03:50.956
  • Fatter in flesh" - you know, they had just come across the
  • 00:03:50.956 --> 00:03:53.992
  • Desert - and "...he found them ten times better" - smarter -
  • 00:03:53.992 --> 00:03:58.463
  • "than all the magicians and astrologers who
  • 00:03:58.463 --> 00:04:01.700
  • Were in all his realm."
  • 00:04:01.700 --> 00:04:03.268
  • And the first chapter of daniel
  • 00:04:03.268 --> 00:04:05.203
  • Closes by saying, "and daniel continued until the time of king
  • 00:04:05.203 --> 00:04:08.807
  • Cyrus" - daniel lived to about a hundred years of age.
  • 00:04:08.807 --> 00:04:12.611
  • He must have been 15 to 17 when he was carried off.
  • 00:04:12.611 --> 00:04:16.615
  • So, it's interesting that, at this very important book of
  • 00:04:16.615 --> 00:04:21.253
  • Prophecy it would make a point that daniel and his friends had
  • 00:04:21.253 --> 00:04:25.691
  • Purposed they would take care of their bodies even when they were
  • 00:04:25.691 --> 00:04:29.328
  • Tempted by their surroundings and even though there was social
  • 00:04:29.328 --> 00:04:32.397
  • Pressure to compromise, they said, 'no, this is what god says
  • 00:04:32.397 --> 00:04:35.067
  • About treating our bodies as the temple of the holy spirit and we
  • 00:04:35.067 --> 00:04:38.970
  • Will not defile our bodies. this is a truth that has been
  • 00:04:38.970 --> 00:04:43.675
  • Lost by much of the christian church and it's an area where
  • 00:04:43.675 --> 00:04:47.212
  • There needs to be revival and reformation, and that's
  • 00:04:47.212 --> 00:04:50.215
  • Also true even within our denomination.
  • 00:04:50.215 --> 00:04:54.252
  • Let's look at our lesson. it's going to bring
  • 00:04:54.252 --> 00:04:55.887
  • Out a number of points. first question: what was the
  • 00:04:55.887 --> 00:04:59.024
  • Original diet that god designed for humans?
  • 00:04:59.024 --> 00:05:02.527
  • You read in genesis 1, verse 29, "and god said, 'behold, i have
  • 00:05:02.527 --> 00:05:07.099
  • Given you every herb bearing seed and in every tree in which
  • 00:05:07.099 --> 00:05:12.504
  • Is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for
  • 00:05:12.504 --> 00:05:15.841
  • Meat." and the word 'meat' there, it's
  • 00:05:15.841 --> 00:05:17.642
  • King james - it just means 'for food'.
  • 00:05:17.642 --> 00:05:19.344
  • And so, the original diet that god gave to man was a vegetarian
  • 00:05:19.344 --> 00:05:25.283
  • Diet contain - it was actually fruits, grains, and nuts - beans
  • 00:05:25.283 --> 00:05:30.088
  • - but later god expanded the diet.
  • 00:05:30.088 --> 00:05:33.258
  • That's the next question: after adam and eve sinned, - when they
  • 00:05:33.258 --> 00:05:36.528
  • Were evicted from the garden of eden, they could no longer eat
  • 00:05:36.528 --> 00:05:38.730
  • From the tree of life. god then said, 'alright, i
  • 00:05:38.730 --> 00:05:41.366
  • Want to give you something supplemental.'
  • 00:05:41.366 --> 00:05:43.435
  • What was added to their diet at that point?
  • 00:05:43.435 --> 00:05:46.872
  • Genesis 3, verse 18
  • 00:05:46.872 --> 00:05:48.573
  • He said, "you shall eat the herb of the
  • 00:05:48.573 --> 00:05:51.610
  • Field." - meaning vegetables. now, i find sometimes people
  • 00:05:51.610 --> 00:05:56.448
  • Don't know the difference between a fruit and a vegetable.
  • 00:05:56.448 --> 00:05:59.718
  • Let me test you. apple. congregation: fruit.
  • 00:05:59.718 --> 00:06:04.589
  • Doug: fruit. orange? congregation: fruit.
  • 00:06:04.589 --> 00:06:06.458
  • Doug: zucchini? congregation: fruit. (laughter)
  • 00:06:06.458 --> 00:06:10.996
  • Doug: see? fruit. onion? congregation: vegetable.
  • 00:06:10.996 --> 00:06:17.169
  • Doug: vegetable. brussels sprouts?
  • 00:06:17.169 --> 00:06:20.972
  • Congregation: vegetable.
  • 00:06:20.972 --> 00:06:22.307
  • Doug: inedible. (laughter)
  • 00:06:22.307 --> 00:06:26.578
  • Doug: it's real simple: that anything that is the
  • 00:06:26.578 --> 00:06:29.114
  • Product of the blossom is the fruit.
  • 00:06:29.114 --> 00:06:32.050
  • And anything that's any other part of the plant, whether it's
  • 00:06:32.050 --> 00:06:34.386
  • The stalk or the leaves or the bulbs, it's a vegetable.
  • 00:06:34.386 --> 00:06:38.390
  • And so, after adam and eve and, you know, a lot of kids out
  • 00:06:38.390 --> 00:06:43.929
  • There are really sorry that adam and eve sinned because they
  • 00:06:43.929 --> 00:06:46.264
  • Didn't want vegetables added to their diet.
  • 00:06:46.264 --> 00:06:49.000
  • But after they sinned and they were told they could no longer
  • 00:06:49.000 --> 00:06:51.203
  • Stay in the garden, god said, 'you can also eat the herb of
  • 00:06:51.203 --> 00:06:53.605
  • The field.' but the original diet for man was a vegetarian
  • 00:06:53.605 --> 00:06:56.441
  • Diet. and - i'll just tell you
  • 00:06:56.441 --> 00:07:00.178
  • Right now, i am biased. i'm a vegetarian.
  • 00:07:00.178 --> 00:07:04.316
  • I encourage people to consider it.
  • 00:07:04.316 --> 00:07:06.151
  • The bible does not require you to be a vegetarian.
  • 00:07:06.151 --> 00:07:09.321
  • But are you aware that we will be vegetarians in heaven?
  • 00:07:09.321 --> 00:07:14.159
  • When god asked adam to name the animals, he did not look at
  • 00:07:14.159 --> 00:07:17.362
  • The cow and say, 'whopper'. (laughter) and he did not
  • 00:07:17.362 --> 00:07:20.765
  • Look at the chickens and say, 'mcnuggets'.
  • 00:07:20.765 --> 00:07:22.834
  • (laughter) you know, he was supposed to protect them, he
  • 00:07:22.834 --> 00:07:27.072
  • Wasn't supposed to think about eating them.
  • 00:07:27.072 --> 00:07:29.174
  • And it wasn't until after sin and especially after the flood
  • 00:07:29.174 --> 00:07:32.677
  • That animals became a part of the diet.
  • 00:07:32.677 --> 00:07:34.713
  • What mammals does god say we could eat?
  • 00:07:34.713 --> 00:07:37.282
  • Now, i told you i'm a vegetarian. i encourage that.
  • 00:07:37.282 --> 00:07:41.086
  • But the bible does say you're going to eat meat, but then it
  • 00:07:41.086 --> 00:07:43.154
  • Says if you're going to eat meat there are some criteria.
  • 00:07:43.154 --> 00:07:46.791
  • You can read about this in leviticus 11, verse 3, "whatever
  • 00:07:46.791 --> 00:07:50.896
  • Parts the hoof, and is cloven footed and chews the cud, these
  • 00:07:50.896 --> 00:07:56.134
  • You can eat." so it needed to have a
  • 00:07:56.134 --> 00:07:58.703
  • Cloven hoof - it needed both characteristics, not just one.
  • 00:07:58.703 --> 00:08:04.676
  • But even some meat is not healthy.
  • 00:08:04.676 --> 00:08:07.379
  • For instance, you know a camel?
  • 00:08:07.379 --> 00:08:08.980
  • A camel chews the cud but it's got a paw.
  • 00:08:08.980 --> 00:08:12.484
  • Now some of you are really bothered by that because you're
  • 00:08:12.484 --> 00:08:14.386
  • Going to have to take the camel out of your fridge tonight right
  • 00:08:14.386 --> 00:08:17.355
  • After (laughter) well, you know, this was a problem in christ's
  • 00:08:17.355 --> 00:08:20.191
  • Time. he said, 'you strain a gnat and
  • 00:08:20.191 --> 00:08:21.626
  • You swallow a camel' - which is unclean.
  • 00:08:21.626 --> 00:08:24.095
  • He said, 'you're worried about getting a little bitty bug in
  • 00:08:24.095 --> 00:08:25.730
  • Your water, but then you go eat camel steak when you go home and
  • 00:08:25.730 --> 00:08:28.199
  • God says it's unclean. have you ever been around camels? i have.
  • 00:08:28.199 --> 00:08:34.573
  • Yeah. i wouldn't want to eat one.
  • 00:08:34.573 --> 00:08:36.474
  • Now, some things, they chew the cud but they don't have a cloven
  • 00:08:36.474 --> 00:08:41.546
  • Hoof. and then there's a couple of
  • 00:08:41.546 --> 00:08:42.914
  • Animals that have a cloven hoof, but they don't chew the cud.
  • 00:08:42.914 --> 00:08:46.184
  • You know what's in that category?
  • 00:08:46.184 --> 00:08:47.986
  • Ah, this one's very popular. puerco - the pig, the hog, the
  • 00:08:47.986 --> 00:08:55.727
  • Swine - "though it divides the hoof, having cloven hooves,
  • 00:08:55.727 --> 00:09:00.265
  • Yet does not chew the cud, is unclean to you."
  • 00:09:00.265 --> 00:09:03.935
  • He goes on to say, "their flesh you shall not eat, and their
  • 00:09:03.935 --> 00:09:07.238
  • Carcass you shall not touch." there was an abomination.
  • 00:09:07.238 --> 00:09:11.977
  • Pigs are filthy. i used to take care of my
  • 00:09:11.977 --> 00:09:14.846
  • Neighbor's pigs when he would go on vacation and, you know, i'd
  • 00:09:14.846 --> 00:09:17.749
  • Always try and find some new word to describe it, but all i
  • 00:09:17.749 --> 00:09:20.018
  • Can come up with is to tell you that pigs are pigs.
  • 00:09:20.018 --> 00:09:23.221
  • Their name is the definition. you can't improve on it.
  • 00:09:23.221 --> 00:09:26.057
  • (laughter) you ever been by - or driven by a pig slaughter house?
  • 00:09:26.057 --> 00:09:31.529
  • Even the bible says - like the sow that was washed returns to
  • 00:09:31.529 --> 00:09:36.034
  • Wallowing in the mire. and their flesh is
  • 00:09:36.034 --> 00:09:40.872
  • Full of disease. they're scavengers.
  • 00:09:40.872 --> 00:09:45.944
  • God made some animals that are scavengers and they're made to,
  • 00:09:45.944 --> 00:09:49.214
  • Kind of, clean up the environment.
  • 00:09:49.214 --> 00:09:50.715
  • They eat garbage. why would you - you wouldn't
  • 00:09:50.715 --> 00:09:54.285
  • Eat garbage but you'll eat the garbage can (laughter)
  • 00:09:54.285 --> 00:09:57.222
  • When you eat a pig. how many of you remember this?
  • 00:09:57.222 --> 00:10:00.925
  • 'this little piggy went to the market' (laughter) 'this little
  • 00:10:00.925 --> 00:10:04.162
  • Piggy stayed home. this little piggy had roast
  • 00:10:04.162 --> 00:10:08.466
  • Beef' - even a pig won't eat pork.
  • 00:10:08.466 --> 00:10:10.168
  • (raucous laughter) you know i - i remember reading once - i
  • 00:10:10.168 --> 00:10:17.642
  • Think it was one out of five autopsies done in north america
  • 00:10:17.642 --> 00:10:20.912
  • - they found out that the cadavers had symptoms or
  • 00:10:20.912 --> 00:10:24.649
  • Evidence of trichina poisoning. trichinosis is a very tricky
  • 00:10:24.649 --> 00:10:33.224
  • Disease in that when the muscle tissue containing trichina cysts
  • 00:10:33.224 --> 00:10:37.195
  • Are eaten by a human, it says the cysts are then digested in
  • 00:10:37.195 --> 00:10:40.799
  • The stomach then release the larvae which "...migrate to the
  • 00:10:40.799 --> 00:10:44.202
  • Intestine, begin a new life cycle.
  • 00:10:44.202 --> 00:10:46.438
  • Female trichina worms live about six weeks and in that time they
  • 00:10:46.438 --> 00:10:49.841
  • May release 15,000 larvae. the migration and encystment of
  • 00:10:49.841 --> 00:10:54.012
  • Larvae can cause fever, pain, or even death."
  • 00:10:54.012 --> 00:10:56.514
  • It can cause stiffness in joints and knees and pain and it's
  • 00:10:56.514 --> 00:10:59.751
  • Often misdiagnosed. a person thinks, 'i've got
  • 00:10:59.751 --> 00:11:02.787
  • Bursitis' or 'arthritis' and they got pigitis is what it is
  • 00:11:02.787 --> 00:11:06.825
  • (laughter) it's from - it's very common around the world.
  • 00:11:06.825 --> 00:11:12.130
  • There's a picture of a fellow. he's got his lunch on his
  • 00:11:12.130 --> 00:11:13.965
  • Box - back of his bike. one nutritionist wrote a few
  • 00:11:13.965 --> 00:11:20.238
  • Years ago - and this is an old article, but i like
  • 00:11:20.238 --> 00:11:21.906
  • The way he worded it. september 6, 1999.
  • 00:11:21.906 --> 00:11:25.343
  • A "nutritionist said bacon wasn't technically meat anymore.
  • 00:11:25.343 --> 00:11:28.780
  • It didn't belong to any food group at all.
  • 00:11:28.780 --> 00:11:31.182
  • It was a salty nitrate-ridden, fat-laden carcinogenic thing."
  • 00:11:31.182 --> 00:11:36.454
  • Why would you want to eat a carcinogenic thing?
  • 00:11:36.454 --> 00:11:42.460
  • Because it tastes good. are you going to be controlled
  • 00:11:42.460 --> 00:11:45.396
  • By the spirit or by the flesh? now some of you are saying,
  • 00:11:45.396 --> 00:11:50.068
  • 'pastor doug, you're coming down pretty hard on those of us who
  • 00:11:50.068 --> 00:11:52.370
  • Are, you know, eating meat and stuff like that.
  • 00:11:52.370 --> 00:11:55.173
  • You know, god designed humans to eat meat and that's why we've
  • 00:11:55.173 --> 00:11:58.877
  • Got these canine teeth, you know?'
  • 00:11:58.877 --> 00:12:01.813
  • I've heard that argument before. that's nonsense.
  • 00:12:01.813 --> 00:12:05.750
  • This fella's got canine teeth too.
  • 00:12:05.750 --> 00:12:07.318
  • (raucous laughter) and he's a vegetarian.
  • 00:12:07.318 --> 00:12:13.858
  • As is the hippo and the elephant - i don't know how far i want to
  • 00:12:13.858 --> 00:12:16.127
  • Take this illustration but - and, actually, the digestive
  • 00:12:16.127 --> 00:12:21.833
  • System of a cat or a carnivore or a dog is very smooth.
  • 00:12:21.833 --> 00:12:27.405
  • Vegetarian animals have a more complex digestive system.
  • 00:12:27.405 --> 00:12:31.543
  • Where they've got the broken up intestine and we're in that
  • 00:12:31.543 --> 00:12:39.350
  • Category. we thrive on a vegetarian diet.
  • 00:12:39.350 --> 00:12:43.388
  • People say to me all the time, 'oh pastor doug, you know, you
  • 00:12:43.388 --> 00:12:45.890
  • Can't be healthy if you're vegetarian.
  • 00:12:45.890 --> 00:12:48.693
  • You're not going to get enough b-12 and protein.'
  • 00:12:48.693 --> 00:12:51.629
  • That is a myth. that is totally an uneducated statement.
  • 00:12:51.629 --> 00:12:54.966
  • I've been a vegetarian for forty years.
  • 00:12:54.966 --> 00:12:57.836
  • I love when i go to subway and i order a veggie and they say, 'do
  • 00:12:57.836 --> 00:13:00.405
  • You want any cheese?' i said, 'no.
  • 00:13:00.405 --> 00:13:01.773
  • I'm a vegan too.' i said, 'no, just all veggies.'
  • 00:13:01.773 --> 00:13:04.843
  • I say, 'i'm a vegetarian.' 'really?'
  • 00:13:04.843 --> 00:13:06.911
  • I said, 'yep.' i said, 'do i look 90 years old?'
  • 00:13:06.911 --> 00:13:10.114
  • (laughter) and they go, 'wow, you're not' - (raucous laughter)
  • 00:13:10.114 --> 00:13:18.189
  • I usually confess that i'm kidding at that point.
  • 00:13:18.189 --> 00:13:20.124
  • You notice i didn't say i was 90, i said, 'do i look 90?'
  • 00:13:20.124 --> 00:13:23.428
  • (laughter) of course, once i said, 'do i look 70?'
  • 00:13:23.428 --> 00:13:25.964
  • And they said, 'yeah, about 70.' (laughter) so i had to up it a
  • 00:13:25.964 --> 00:13:29.400
  • Little bit. but, no, you know, i really have
  • 00:13:29.400 --> 00:13:34.706
  • Been a vegetarian 40 years and i feel great.
  • 00:13:34.706 --> 00:13:36.241
  • You get - you know, if you - a peanut butter and jelly sandwich
  • 00:13:36.241 --> 00:13:39.210
  • Has everything you need. if you use strawberry preserves
  • 00:13:39.210 --> 00:13:42.013
  • You've got your fruits, grains, and nuts right there.
  • 00:13:42.013 --> 00:13:43.948
  • The whole thing. (laughter) you've got protein,
  • 00:13:43.948 --> 00:13:46.384
  • You've got b-12 - you've got everything you need.
  • 00:13:46.384 --> 00:13:48.253
  • And somebody says, 'you won't get enough,'
  • 00:13:48.253 --> 00:13:49.988
  • Don't believe that for a minute.
  • 00:13:49.988 --> 00:13:52.557
  • Doug: don't go anywhere, friends.
  • 00:13:53.491 --> 00:13:54.826
  • We'll be back in just a moment with the rest

  • Of today's presentation.

  • It's no secret, friends, millions of people today are

  • Suffering from health issues that lead to crippling disease
  • 00:14:01.466 --> 00:14:04.936
  • And shorter lives.
  • 00:14:04.936 --> 00:14:06.971
  • We spend billions every year on goofy health fads that often end
  • 00:14:06.971 --> 00:14:11.042
  • Up hurting our bodies more than helping.
  • 00:14:11.042 --> 00:14:13.611

  • Let's return now to today's presentation and learn some more
  • 00:14:58.723 --> 00:15:01.826
  • Amazing facts from the word of god.
  • 00:15:01.826 --> 00:15:04.329
  • Doug: now, if you're going to talk about - we talked about the
  • 00:15:05.930 --> 00:15:08.132
  • Mammals that had to have a cloven hoof and chew the cud -
  • 00:15:08.132 --> 00:15:11.269
  • What about the sea creatures? what types of fish or seafood
  • 00:15:11.269 --> 00:15:15.239
  • Are clean, biblically? you read in leviticus 11, verse
  • 00:15:15.239 --> 00:15:18.242
  • 9, "these you can eat of all that are in the waters: whatever
  • 00:15:18.242 --> 00:15:21.813
  • Has fins and scales...them you shall eat."
  • 00:15:21.813 --> 00:15:25.950
  • You know, i understand that the navy did some research back
  • 00:15:25.950 --> 00:15:31.422
  • After world war ii because a number of pilots and sailors
  • 00:15:31.422 --> 00:15:35.593
  • Were floating around in the ocean - they didn't know what
  • 00:15:35.593 --> 00:15:39.097
  • They could and couldn't eat of the fish that kind of gathered
  • 00:15:39.097 --> 00:15:41.532
  • Around their life rafts and they said, 'we need to give them some
  • 00:15:41.532 --> 00:15:43.835
  • Criteria that they can remember - something simple.' and they
  • 00:15:43.835 --> 00:15:47.338
  • Did all this research and one of them said, 'you know, it says in
  • 00:15:47.338 --> 00:15:51.442
  • The bible that if it has fins and scales it's safe.' and they
  • 00:15:51.442 --> 00:15:55.279
  • Said, 'well, let's see what that looks like.' and did all the
  • 00:15:55.279 --> 00:15:56.914
  • Research. they said, 'that's probably the
  • 00:15:56.914 --> 00:15:58.449
  • Best rule of thumb we can tell the sailors.' they found a lot
  • 00:15:58.449 --> 00:16:02.620
  • Of toxins in the scavengers. catfish do not have scales.
  • 00:16:02.620 --> 00:16:09.527
  • My brother and i used to catch catfish off my dad's back porch.
  • 00:16:09.527 --> 00:16:12.864
  • He was right on biscayne bay in miami beach.
  • 00:16:12.864 --> 00:16:14.932
  • And, taking the hook out of the catfish, my brother's finger got
  • 00:16:14.932 --> 00:16:20.038
  • Poked by the dorsal fin and it was so toxic he could never bend
  • 00:16:20.038 --> 00:16:23.574
  • His finger again. and people eat those things.
  • 00:16:23.574 --> 00:16:27.545
  • We ate 'em too back then. sharks, they've got
  • 00:16:27.545 --> 00:16:30.515
  • Cartilage on the outside. they're scavengers.
  • 00:16:30.515 --> 00:16:34.352
  • And some of you are wondering, what about tuna.
  • 00:16:34.352 --> 00:16:37.488
  • Tuna has scales - very small, but they've got scales.
  • 00:16:37.488 --> 00:16:40.591
  • And so, they needed these things.
  • 00:16:40.591 --> 00:16:41.926
  • So what would be unclean? "but in the seas" - leviticus
  • 00:16:41.926 --> 00:16:45.630
  • 11:10 still - "in all the seas of the rivers those that do not
  • 00:16:45.630 --> 00:16:49.667
  • Have fins and scales, all that move in the water or any living
  • 00:16:49.667 --> 00:16:52.970
  • Thing which is in the water, they are an abomination to you."
  • 00:16:52.970 --> 00:16:56.841
  • Now there's no time in the bible when god calls something an
  • 00:16:56.841 --> 00:16:59.444
  • Abomination in one part that it is then blessed in another part.
  • 00:16:59.444 --> 00:17:03.081
  • Anything that's declared by god an abomination stays an
  • 00:17:03.081 --> 00:17:05.650
  • Abomination. and, by the way, these are not
  • 00:17:05.650 --> 00:17:10.354
  • Laws just for one group of people, these are laws that
  • 00:17:10.354 --> 00:17:13.157
  • God gave to humanity in the beginning. what about the birds?
  • 00:17:13.157 --> 00:17:17.161
  • If you're going to eat meat, what birds are clean?
  • 00:17:17.161 --> 00:17:20.131
  • Well, the way they raise some birds, i don't want to eat
  • 00:17:20.131 --> 00:17:24.035
  • Anything but, biblically, it needed to be a foraging bird.
  • 00:17:24.035 --> 00:17:28.506
  • The ones that are unclean - it says, "every raven after its
  • 00:17:28.506 --> 00:17:30.875
  • Kind," - and the "owl, and the night hawk, and
  • 00:17:30.875 --> 00:17:34.445
  • The cuckaw, and the hawk after its kind."
  • 00:17:34.445 --> 00:17:37.181
  • - the scavengers - the raptors - they were unclean - the
  • 00:17:37.181 --> 00:17:42.487
  • Omnivores. the foraging birds like the
  • 00:17:42.487 --> 00:17:46.357
  • Pheasant and the quail and the chicken and the turkey, you'll
  • 00:17:46.357 --> 00:17:50.495
  • Be happy to know, are in the clean category. (laughter)
  • 00:17:50.495 --> 00:17:54.599
  • Pigeon is clean, which means they'll never starve in new york
  • 00:17:54.599 --> 00:17:59.303
  • City. (laughter) i wouldn't eat any of those, though.
  • 00:17:59.303 --> 00:18:04.876
  • But they were typically in that category.
  • 00:18:04.876 --> 00:18:07.745
  • So, are the laws about the clean and unclean animals part of
  • 00:18:07.745 --> 00:18:10.781
  • Moses' ceremonial law that ended at the cross?
  • 00:18:10.781 --> 00:18:13.618
  • This is the argument - have you heard this before?
  • 00:18:13.618 --> 00:18:15.853
  • No, you read in genesis 7, when god was telling noah to bring
  • 00:18:15.853 --> 00:18:21.159
  • The animals on the ark, everyone says, 'oh yeah, they went on the
  • 00:18:21.159 --> 00:18:23.461
  • Ark two by two.' not all of them.
  • 00:18:23.461 --> 00:18:26.197
  • The unclean animals went by two. the clean animals went by seven.
  • 00:18:26.197 --> 00:18:31.102
  • "come into the ark you and all your household..." and it says
  • 00:18:31.102 --> 00:18:34.105
  • Of the beasts that are not clean they'll bring by two.
  • 00:18:34.105 --> 00:18:37.875
  • Of the clean beasts, they come by sevens.
  • 00:18:37.875 --> 00:18:41.612
  • Like you might have the stag and seven does.
  • 00:18:41.612 --> 00:18:44.482
  • You have the bull and - or six cows and the bull - and so they
  • 00:18:44.482 --> 00:18:47.652
  • May have divided it up like that.
  • 00:18:47.652 --> 00:18:49.320
  • And so, how many here are related to noah?
  • 00:18:49.320 --> 00:18:54.625
  • That'd be all of you. (laughter) how many of you never
  • 00:18:54.625 --> 00:18:57.061
  • Raise your hand when the pastor asks a question?
  • 00:18:57.061 --> 00:18:58.996
  • (raucous laughter) some of you were honest enough to finally
  • 00:18:58.996 --> 00:19:02.300
  • Raise your hand for that question.
  • 00:19:02.300 --> 00:19:05.436
  • But we're all related to noah. so god makes a distinction of
  • 00:19:05.436 --> 00:19:09.006
  • Clean and unclean right back there in the beginning.
  • 00:19:09.006 --> 00:19:12.476
  • These things - we know today that there's health principles.
  • 00:19:12.476 --> 00:19:16.514
  • By the way, national geographic did an article a few years ago
  • 00:19:16.514 --> 00:19:21.786
  • Called the blue zones . did any of you here
  • 00:19:21.786 --> 00:19:23.621
  • Ever see this magazine? it talked about the areas of
  • 00:19:23.621 --> 00:19:26.023
  • The world where people live the longest.
  • 00:19:26.023 --> 00:19:28.526
  • They came up with three groups: the people that live in sardinia
  • 00:19:28.526 --> 00:19:33.164
  • - the mediterranean, the people that live in okinawa, japan -
  • 00:19:33.164 --> 00:19:37.668
  • Some of the oldest in the world, and the third category was
  • 00:19:37.668 --> 00:19:40.338
  • Seventh-day adventists that live in loma linda.
  • 00:19:40.338 --> 00:19:43.007
  • Or seventh-day adventists, but that's just an enclave down
  • 00:19:43.007 --> 00:19:46.844
  • There and so they saw there was a concentration.
  • 00:19:46.844 --> 00:19:49.213
  • And so, they specifically said seventh-day adventists.
  • 00:19:49.213 --> 00:19:52.450
  • What do they attribute that to? their healthy lifestyle.
  • 00:19:52.450 --> 00:19:57.722
  • Following the biblical
  • 00:19:57.722 --> 00:19:59.357
  • Criteria, among other things, having a day of rest helps also.
  • 00:19:59.357 --> 00:20:03.928
  • And they live a lot longer. i was visiting a sister today,
  • 00:20:03.928 --> 00:20:09.834
  • 93 years old up and around doing fine.
  • 00:20:09.834 --> 00:20:13.504
  • This is a picture of one of my church members, 111 and still
  • 00:20:13.504 --> 00:20:17.508
  • Going - viola cook. and it just was amazing to me,
  • 00:20:17.508 --> 00:20:24.815
  • Her brother-in-law told me - art reed - gave me some good advice
  • 00:20:24.815 --> 00:20:29.453
  • - if you forget everything i say tonight, remember this: i said,
  • 00:20:29.453 --> 00:20:31.822
  • 'art, how come you're so old and so healthy?'
  • 00:20:31.822 --> 00:20:34.258
  • He said, 'three things: stop eating while you're still a
  • 00:20:34.258 --> 00:20:37.595
  • Little hungry, wake up when you're still a little sleepy,
  • 00:20:37.595 --> 00:20:42.400
  • And stop talking when you still have something left to say.'
  • 00:20:42.400 --> 00:20:45.002
  • (laughter) secret to life.
  • 00:20:45.002 --> 00:20:49.807
  • Does god say that eating unclean food is a serious offense?
  • 00:20:49.807 --> 00:20:55.613
  • Some people think, 'oh, the bible laws about health are
  • 00:20:55.613 --> 00:20:58.049
  • Recommendations.' the bible doesn't call them
  • 00:20:58.049 --> 00:20:59.617
  • Recommendations, it calls them laws.
  • 00:20:59.617 --> 00:21:01.686
  • Listen to what the bible says in isaiah 66, verses 15 and 17:
  • 00:21:01.686 --> 00:21:05.523
  • "for behold, the lord will come with fire and with his chariots,
  • 00:21:05.523 --> 00:21:09.026
  • Like a whirlwind, to render his anger with fury.
  • 00:21:09.026 --> 00:21:12.963
  • Those who sanctify themselves and purify themselves..."
  • 00:21:12.963 --> 00:21:16.567
  • - they're declaring themselves sanctified and pure - "'eating
  • 00:21:16.567 --> 00:21:18.769
  • Swine's flesh and the abomination and the mouse, shall
  • 00:21:18.769 --> 00:21:24.375
  • Be consumed together,' says the lord."
  • 00:21:24.375 --> 00:21:27.411
  • 'oh, pastor doug, are you telling me that my blt sandwich
  • 00:21:27.411 --> 00:21:30.514
  • Is no more? it tastes so good.' you know,
  • 00:21:30.514 --> 00:21:35.986
  • When you really think about it, there are so many
  • 00:21:35.986 --> 00:21:37.688
  • Good things to eat. i'm surprised - people say to
  • 00:21:37.688 --> 00:21:40.624
  • Me, 'pastor doug, you're a vegetarian.
  • 00:21:40.624 --> 00:21:42.526
  • What do you eat?' (laughter) well, i eat great.
  • 00:21:42.526 --> 00:21:48.766
  • Lots of things. you grow up learning a certain
  • 00:21:48.766 --> 00:21:51.869
  • Way and you think that's the only way.
  • 00:21:51.869 --> 00:21:53.738
  • You've got to just learn to do good - learn a new way - and
  • 00:21:53.738 --> 00:21:56.273
  • You'll be fine. some people think, 'well, if god
  • 00:21:56.273 --> 00:21:58.642
  • Doesn't want us to eat it, why did he make it?'
  • 00:21:58.642 --> 00:22:01.779
  • And it's almost like a bumper sticker that you would find
  • 00:22:01.779 --> 00:22:04.181
  • Somewhere on bubba's truck: 'god made it so we can kill it and
  • 00:22:04.181 --> 00:22:08.419
  • Eat it.' he didn't make any of the
  • 00:22:08.419 --> 00:22:10.888
  • Animals for us to kill and eat.
  • 00:22:10.888 --> 00:22:13.324
  • People quote this verse in 1 timothy 4:4, "for every creature
  • 00:22:13.324 --> 00:22:16.994
  • Of god is good," - have you heard this before?
  • 00:22:16.994 --> 00:22:19.764
  • - "and nothing to be refused if it is received with thanksgiving
  • 00:22:19.764 --> 00:22:23.434
  • And prayer." now they don't read the context
  • 00:22:23.434 --> 00:22:26.871
  • - they don't read what it says before or after.
  • 00:22:26.871 --> 00:22:28.406
  • It says, first of all, that it'll be sanctified by the word
  • 00:22:28.406 --> 00:22:30.107
  • Of god. that means the creatures that
  • 00:22:30.107 --> 00:22:32.676
  • Are approved in the word of god can be sanctified by prayer.
  • 00:22:32.676 --> 00:22:37.047
  • But this notion that christians believe - and this is where -
  • 00:22:37.047 --> 00:22:40.518
  • Boy, i hope this sinks in with thinking christians out there -
  • 00:22:40.518 --> 00:22:44.155
  • The idea that we're free now from the laws about health
  • 00:22:44.155 --> 00:22:47.892
  • Because we just pray and god blesses whatever we eat.
  • 00:22:47.892 --> 00:22:51.595
  • You would not accept that from your children.
  • 00:22:51.595 --> 00:22:54.398
  • How many are parents out there? are they raising their hands?
  • 00:22:54.398 --> 00:22:59.470
  • If you were getting ready for work one day and your kids were
  • 00:22:59.470 --> 00:23:02.473
  • Fixing their own breakfast, you know, they're a little older,
  • 00:23:02.473 --> 00:23:04.508
  • And you see that they're pouring sugar frosted flakes in their
  • 00:23:04.508 --> 00:23:10.681
  • Bowl and they're putting sugar on top of it, then they go in
  • 00:23:10.681 --> 00:23:13.517
  • The freezer and get a scoop of chocolate ice cream, then they
  • 00:23:13.517 --> 00:23:16.086
  • Get some caramel syrup, and you say, 'what in the world do you
  • 00:23:16.086 --> 00:23:19.190
  • Think you're doing?' 'don't worry, mom, dad, i'm
  • 00:23:19.190 --> 00:23:22.660
  • Going to ask jesus to bless it.'
  • 00:23:22.660 --> 00:23:24.361
  • (laughter) would you say, 'well, that's
  • 00:23:24.361 --> 00:23:28.199
  • Okay, as long as you pray over it,
  • 00:23:28.199 --> 00:23:29.667
  • That'll be okay.' how many would accept that?
  • 00:23:29.667 --> 00:23:33.270
  • Then why do we think that we can tempt the lord by going against
  • 00:23:33.270 --> 00:23:37.675
  • The basic principles of health in the bible and say, 'but i
  • 00:23:37.675 --> 00:23:40.177
  • Prayed over it.' when the bible talks about that, it's talking
  • 00:23:40.177 --> 00:23:44.582
  • About there was a big contest between the jewish christians
  • 00:23:44.582 --> 00:23:48.853
  • And the gentile christians and the jewish christians said,
  • 00:23:48.853 --> 00:23:51.088
  • 'oh, that meat had been offered to an idol.
  • 00:23:51.088 --> 00:23:53.224
  • You can't eat it.' and paul said, 'look, the idol's
  • 00:23:53.224 --> 00:23:55.092
  • Nothing.' you pray over it - he was talking about clean animals
  • 00:23:55.092 --> 00:23:58.128
  • That maybe they had bought in a gentile marketplace - goat or
  • 00:23:58.128 --> 00:24:01.832
  • Turkey or sheep or whatever it was - and the jews had a very
  • 00:24:01.832 --> 00:24:06.437
  • Sensitive conscience, they said, 'but it was a gentile
  • 00:24:06.437 --> 00:24:09.039
  • Marketplace. they butcher things and they
  • 00:24:09.039 --> 00:24:10.774
  • Offer them to gods before they butcher them.' paul said, 'look,
  • 00:24:10.774 --> 00:24:14.712
  • It's sanctified by the word of god.
  • 00:24:14.712 --> 00:24:16.213
  • God's word said you can eat that goat - that sheep - and you've
  • 00:24:16.213 --> 00:24:19.049
  • Prayed over it. don't worry about it.'
  • 00:24:19.049 --> 00:24:20.684
  • How many of you eat chinese food in a chinese restaurant?
  • 00:24:20.684 --> 00:24:22.887
  • I do. i did this week.
  • 00:24:22.887 --> 00:24:24.655
  • And when i went in, there was a buddha in the restaurant.
  • 00:24:24.655 --> 00:24:30.528
  • Now, some christians might have a problem with that.
  • 00:24:30.528 --> 00:24:32.530
  • They might say, 'i can't eat in there, there was a buddha.
  • 00:24:32.530 --> 00:24:34.498
  • I'll be supporting buddha if i eat in that restaurant.'
  • 00:24:34.498 --> 00:24:37.134
  • (laughter) paul was saying, 'look, you pray over your food.
  • 00:24:37.134 --> 00:24:40.504
  • Don't worry about what they think about - the cook might be
  • 00:24:40.504 --> 00:24:42.907
  • A buddhist - it's not going to hurt you.' this was the issue.
  • 00:24:42.907 --> 00:24:46.176
  • It wasn't saying you could eat anything.
  • 00:24:46.176 --> 00:24:49.213
  • That's irresponsible. we all know better than that.
  • 00:24:49.213 --> 00:24:52.883
  • What you eat is going to affect your health.
  • 00:24:52.883 --> 00:24:55.185
  • How much you eat is going to affect your health.
  • 00:24:55.185 --> 00:24:58.822
  • Some will say, 'what about the vision that peter had in acts
  • 00:24:58.822 --> 00:25:01.525
  • Chapter 10?' some of you remember, it tells
  • 00:25:01.525 --> 00:25:05.296
  • Us that cornelius, a gentile, and his family full of gentiles,
  • 00:25:05.296 --> 00:25:09.767
  • An angel says, 'you must hear from peter.'
  • 00:25:09.767 --> 00:25:13.470
  • They send messengers to peter. normally jews did not preach
  • 00:25:13.470 --> 00:25:16.206
  • To the gentiles in those early days.
  • 00:25:16.206 --> 00:25:18.542
  • Peter's up on the roof, he's praying, he's hungry.
  • 00:25:18.542 --> 00:25:21.378
  • God gives him a vision of a sheet that comes down from
  • 00:25:21.378 --> 00:25:23.414
  • Heaven, full of all these unclean animals and god says,
  • 00:25:23.414 --> 00:25:26.150
  • 'arise and eat.' notice what peter says: 'not so, lord.
  • 00:25:26.150 --> 00:25:30.688
  • I have never eaten anything common or unclean.' and the
  • 00:25:30.688 --> 00:25:35.092
  • Bible says, 'do not call unclean what i have cleansed.' and he's
  • 00:25:35.092 --> 00:25:39.463
  • Wondering - this happens three times - he never takes anything
  • 00:25:39.463 --> 00:25:41.599
  • Out of the sheet - it's a vision - you can't eat a vision.
  • 00:25:41.599 --> 00:25:44.034
  • He never takes anything out of the sheet. he never eats it.
  • 00:25:44.034 --> 00:25:47.471
  • And he's wondering what the vision means.
  • 00:25:47.471 --> 00:25:50.207
  • And some gentiles knock on the door downstairs and peter
  • 00:25:50.207 --> 00:25:53.177
  • Explains what this vision is about.
  • 00:25:53.177 --> 00:25:55.179
  • He said, 'god has told me not to call any man' - that's a funny
  • 00:25:55.179 --> 00:26:00.150
  • Way to spell 'pig' - it doesn't say god showed me not to call
  • 00:26:00.150 --> 00:26:04.121
  • Any swine unclean.' he said not to call any man unclean because
  • 00:26:04.121 --> 00:26:07.291
  • The jews were calling the gentiles unclean.
  • 00:26:07.291 --> 00:26:10.060
  • This vision had nothing to do with food.
  • 00:26:10.060 --> 00:26:12.830
  • It had to do with taking the gospel to the gentiles.
  • 00:26:12.830 --> 00:26:15.566
  • So pastors that say that, they're being dishonest.
  • 00:26:15.566 --> 00:26:18.936
  • They know that's not what was really happening there.
  • 00:26:18.936 --> 00:26:21.605
  • Does it make a difference what we eat?
  • 00:26:21.605 --> 00:26:24.141
  • Do you know why we're all having problems with sin and
  • 00:26:24.141 --> 00:26:26.076
  • Temptation? because our first parents ate
  • 00:26:26.076 --> 00:26:29.413
  • Something they weren't supposed to eat.
