<v Speaker 2>He divided mankind, he fixed the borders of people's according

<v Speaker 2>to the number of the sons of God.

6
00:00:22.039 --> 00:00:25.280
<v Speaker 1>In those days and for some time after, giant Nephilites

7
00:00:25.320 --> 00:00:27.239
<v Speaker 1>lived down to the earth. For whenever the sons of

8
00:00:27.239 --> 00:00:30.199
<v Speaker 1>God had intercourse with women, they gave birth to children

00:00:30.199 --> 00:00:33.600

<v Speaker 4>Hell, old fellow treasure hunters, welcome to the excavation side.

17
00:00:57.719 --> 00:01:00.240
<v Speaker 4>I'must in alongside and when we got Ben Steve even

18
00:01:00.240 --> 00:01:03.560
<v Speaker 4>in Chad will be your guides on this excursion. Hope

19
00:01:03.600 --> 00:01:05.920
<v Speaker 4>you brought your shovel in your compass, because we got

20
00:01:05.920 --> 00:01:06.359
<v Speaker 4>the map.

21
00:01:06.840 --> 00:01:16.439
<v Speaker 2>Let's do that book you brought and tell us about

22
00:01:16.439 --> 00:01:19.319
<v Speaker 2>it and some of the nuggets you got in there.

23
00:01:19.680 --> 00:01:21.400
<v Speaker 1>We brought it up a little bit earlier. But this

24
00:01:21.480 --> 00:01:24.400
<v Speaker 1>book and I think this is This is interesting because

25
00:01:24.400 --> 00:01:28.640
<v Speaker 1>it's a Maurice s Rawlings as an MD, who end

26
00:01:28.760 --> 00:01:30.920
<v Speaker 1>up writing this book. And I believe there's another one

27
00:01:30.959 --> 00:01:33.519
<v Speaker 1>after this. This is not a new book. It's been

28
00:01:33.560 --> 00:01:34.000
<v Speaker 1>around for.

29
00:01:33.920 --> 00:01:36.079
<v Speaker 3>A little while. It looks like it's been around.

30
00:01:36.239 --> 00:01:37.799
<v Speaker 1>It's been around for a little while. As a matter

31
00:01:37.840 --> 00:01:41.000
<v Speaker 1>of fact, I think my dad actually bought this from

32
00:01:41.200 --> 00:01:45.200
<v Speaker 1>a book sale at the Lano County Library in Lake

33
00:01:45.239 --> 00:01:47.959
<v Speaker 1>Shore Branch wherever that is. I have no.

34
00:01:47.920 --> 00:01:49.439
<v Speaker 2>Idea what's the print date?

35
00:01:50.200 --> 00:01:51.519
<v Speaker 1>I mean, look and see if I can do this.

36
00:01:51.680 --> 00:01:56.439
<v Speaker 2>Guess real quick, ben print date, That's what I was

37
00:01:56.480 --> 00:02:02.400
<v Speaker 2>thinking mid the late eighties. The a historical document.

38
00:02:02.319 --> 00:02:08.759
<v Speaker 1>Original copyright hold on is nineteen ninety three.

39
00:02:09.000 --> 00:02:11.159
<v Speaker 2>Oh, it's just been left out in the sun.

40
00:02:11.240 --> 00:02:13.400
<v Speaker 1>It has been left out in the sun. It was

41
00:02:13.439 --> 00:02:15.639
<v Speaker 1>a library book at one time, so it's it's seen

42
00:02:15.719 --> 00:02:19.479
<v Speaker 1>better days. But this book is about this physician who

43
00:02:19.520 --> 00:02:24.479
<v Speaker 1>was an atheist who didn't believe in God and his

44
00:02:24.680 --> 00:02:28.400
<v Speaker 1>encounters with people who are you know, on the on

45
00:02:28.439 --> 00:02:31.280
<v Speaker 1>the operating table who die and have to be brought back,

46
00:02:31.319 --> 00:02:36.759
<v Speaker 1>I mean, or just near death experiences, stuff that people

47
00:02:36.879 --> 00:02:39.599
<v Speaker 1>see when they leave their body or something of that. Nature.

48
00:02:39.599 --> 00:02:43.400
<v Speaker 1>And I think that that's really powerful because if you

49
00:02:44.520 --> 00:02:48.039
<v Speaker 1>could have a glimpse into what it's like after you die,

50
00:02:49.159 --> 00:02:51.439
<v Speaker 1>I think, I mean, I think I feel like people

51
00:02:51.479 --> 00:02:54.360
<v Speaker 1>if they go and they had a bad glimpse. God

52
00:02:54.360 --> 00:02:56.800
<v Speaker 1>gave him a second chance, you know what I mean,

53
00:02:56.919 --> 00:03:01.159
<v Speaker 1>he really did, because who knows. We can sit here

54
00:03:01.199 --> 00:03:04.280
<v Speaker 1>and tell you all these different things and all the scripture,

55
00:03:04.400 --> 00:03:06.960
<v Speaker 1>and we can go right through and there are some

56
00:03:07.080 --> 00:03:10.159
<v Speaker 1>atheists out there that will never believe that no matter

57
00:03:10.199 --> 00:03:12.960
<v Speaker 1>what we say. But if you can hear it from

58
00:03:12.960 --> 00:03:17.319
<v Speaker 1>another person what they saw, and this is coming from

59
00:03:17.360 --> 00:03:21.120
<v Speaker 1>another atheist, and you can hear what people have saw,

60
00:03:21.159 --> 00:03:23.360
<v Speaker 1>what they have seen. What this guy can tell you

61
00:03:24.319 --> 00:03:28.080
<v Speaker 1>that that he's seen firsthand, that he's seen firsthand, that

62
00:03:28.080 --> 00:03:31.360
<v Speaker 1>that will blow your mind. But let's start with a

63
00:03:31.400 --> 00:03:34.680
<v Speaker 1>couple of I have a couple that are more on

64
00:03:34.719 --> 00:03:36.520
<v Speaker 1>the negative side.

65
00:03:37.199 --> 00:03:39.639
<v Speaker 2>That lead with the negative, with the possible.

66
00:03:39.680 --> 00:03:40.759
<v Speaker 1>Well that's exactly it.

67
00:03:42.599 --> 00:03:44.159
<v Speaker 2>Bad news first, all right.

68
00:03:44.199 --> 00:03:47.000
<v Speaker 1>So this is once again, this is from the some

69
00:03:47.039 --> 00:03:48.719
<v Speaker 1>of the A couple of these are are from people

70
00:03:48.759 --> 00:03:52.560
<v Speaker 1>he was able to witness or to interview afterwards. But

71
00:03:52.680 --> 00:03:55.400
<v Speaker 1>this one's from his point of view as he was

72
00:03:55.439 --> 00:03:59.560
<v Speaker 1>going through it. However, this guy did live for a

73
00:03:59.639 --> 00:04:02.960
<v Speaker 1>while after this, so this is something that's been confirmed

74
00:04:03.159 --> 00:04:06.240
<v Speaker 1>obviously all the way through. But once again, this book

75
00:04:06.319 --> 00:04:10.560
<v Speaker 1>is called Helen Back by Maurice s. Rawlings, and he's

76
00:04:10.599 --> 00:04:13.199
<v Speaker 1>the author of another book called Beyond Death's Door, which

77
00:04:13.280 --> 00:04:16.839
<v Speaker 1>might be the other one that I'm talking about. But

78
00:04:16.959 --> 00:04:20.680
<v Speaker 1>here I'm gonna read a couple. We'll read the first one,

79
00:04:20.720 --> 00:04:22.480
<v Speaker 1>we'll have a cut, little bit of input from everybody,

80
00:04:22.480 --> 00:04:25.600
<v Speaker 1>and then we'll kind of jump to the next. Surprisingly,

81
00:04:26.199 --> 00:04:28.439
<v Speaker 1>Charlie continued to talk for a while, unaware that his

82
00:04:28.519 --> 00:04:30.800
<v Speaker 1>heart had stopped. Four or five seconds later, he looked

83
00:04:30.839 --> 00:04:34.480
<v Speaker 1>suddenly dumbfounded. It was as if he were about to

84
00:04:34.519 --> 00:04:37.120
<v Speaker 1>ask a question. Then his eyes rolled up in the

85
00:04:37.120 --> 00:04:39.720
<v Speaker 1>back of the head and he fell, the treadmill sweeping

86
00:04:39.720 --> 00:04:43.120
<v Speaker 1>his body away like so much trash. This reminded me

87
00:04:43.199 --> 00:04:46.439
<v Speaker 1>of similar problems occurring in the heart lab, where the

88
00:04:46.439 --> 00:04:49.519
<v Speaker 1>heartbeat stops for some reason, but amazingly, the patient continues

89
00:04:49.519 --> 00:04:51.959
<v Speaker 1>to talk for a while. Hitting them on the chest

90
00:04:52.040 --> 00:04:54.680
<v Speaker 1>or making them cough repeatedly usually starts him up again,

91
00:04:54.759 --> 00:04:58.160
<v Speaker 1>so the procedure can be completed as if nothing happened.

92
00:04:59.160 --> 00:05:01.560
<v Speaker 1>The CPR two technique that we used on Charlie has

93
00:05:01.600 --> 00:05:07.079
<v Speaker 1>been modified by using sequential chest abdominal compressions at a

94
00:05:07.160 --> 00:05:10.879
<v Speaker 1>rate of eighty per minute. The artificial breathing technique is

95
00:05:10.920 --> 00:05:15.199
<v Speaker 1>the same. Details are available at your local American Heart

96
00:05:15.199 --> 00:05:18.240
<v Speaker 1>Association or Red Cross, and the method is listed in

97
00:05:18.279 --> 00:05:22.040
<v Speaker 1>the appendix. With Charlie's head sharply extended to chin toward

98
00:05:22.079 --> 00:05:24.639
<v Speaker 1>the ceiling, one of the nurses breed the Kiss of life.

99
00:05:25.079 --> 00:05:28.959
<v Speaker 1>The other nerse started IVY or a IVY for medicines.

100
00:05:29.600 --> 00:05:32.279
<v Speaker 1>By then, an underlying block in the heartbeat had appeared

101
00:05:32.319 --> 00:05:35.160
<v Speaker 1>on the monitor. That means that the heart could not

102
00:05:35.399 --> 00:05:39.480
<v Speaker 1>conduct the beat properly and a temporary pacemaker would be

103
00:05:39.560 --> 00:05:44.560
<v Speaker 1>needed for the heart to respond to CPR. Using a

104
00:05:44.639 --> 00:05:48.600
<v Speaker 1>large bore needle, I entered the big vein under the collarbone,

105
00:05:48.879 --> 00:05:51.480
<v Speaker 1>then threaded the pacemaker wire into the right side of

106
00:05:51.480 --> 00:05:54.240
<v Speaker 1>the heart and attached the wire to a pulse generator

107
00:05:54.279 --> 00:05:58.240
<v Speaker 1>box to initiate every heartbeat, not missing a stroke, but

108
00:05:58.279 --> 00:06:01.600
<v Speaker 1>blood was spurting everywhere. Whenever I stopped pushing on his

109
00:06:01.720 --> 00:06:05.480
<v Speaker 1>chest in order to adjust the pacemaker, the heart would stop,

110
00:06:05.759 --> 00:06:08.279
<v Speaker 1>Charlie's eyes would roll up and he would sputter again.

111
00:06:08.319 --> 00:06:12.519
<v Speaker 1>Turn blue and begin to convulse with bare hands, just

112
00:06:12.600 --> 00:06:15.000
<v Speaker 1>like you can. I would reach over and start him

113
00:06:15.079 --> 00:06:18.120
<v Speaker 1>up again, but this time he was screaming the words

114
00:06:18.319 --> 00:06:22.279
<v Speaker 1>don't stop. I'm in hell, I'm in hell hallucinations. I

115
00:06:22.319 --> 00:06:25.680
<v Speaker 1>thought most victims say take your big hands off me,

116
00:06:25.800 --> 00:06:29.000
<v Speaker 1>or breaking my ribs, but he was saying the opposite.

117
00:06:29.000 --> 00:06:32.639
<v Speaker 1>For God's sake, don't stop. Don't you understand? Every time

118
00:06:32.680 --> 00:06:36.360
<v Speaker 1>you let go, I'm back in hell. When he asked

119
00:06:36.360 --> 00:06:38.879
<v Speaker 1>me to pray for him, I felt downright and salted.

120
00:06:39.000 --> 00:06:40.800
<v Speaker 1>In fact, I told him to shut up. I said,

121
00:06:40.839 --> 00:06:43.600
<v Speaker 1>I was a doctor, not a minister, and not a psychiatrist.

122
00:06:44.240 --> 00:06:47.279
<v Speaker 1>But the nurse gave me that expectant. Look, what would

123
00:06:47.319 --> 00:06:51.279
<v Speaker 1>you do? That's when I composed a make believe prayer.

124
00:06:51.879 --> 00:06:54.439
<v Speaker 1>I made him repeat the make believe prayer word for

125
00:06:54.519 --> 00:06:57.439
<v Speaker 1>word to keep him off my back. Meanwhile, I resuscitated

126
00:06:57.480 --> 00:07:00.000
<v Speaker 1>with one hand and adjusted the pacemaker with the other.

127
00:07:00.759 --> 00:07:02.959
<v Speaker 1>Say it, Jesus Christ is the son of God. Go

128
00:07:03.000 --> 00:07:06.720
<v Speaker 1>on and say it, I said, keep me out of hell,

129
00:07:07.240 --> 00:07:09.279
<v Speaker 1>and if I live, I'm on the hook, I'm yours.

130
00:07:09.319 --> 00:07:12.040
<v Speaker 1>Go on and say it. That A very strange thing

131
00:07:12.079 --> 00:07:16.279
<v Speaker 1>happened that changed our lives. A religious conversion experience took place.

132
00:07:16.319 --> 00:07:19.279
<v Speaker 1>I had never witnessed one before. He was no longer

133
00:07:19.360 --> 00:07:23.160
<v Speaker 1>wild eyed and screaming, combative, the combative lunatic who had

134
00:07:23.199 --> 00:07:27.399
<v Speaker 1>been fighting me for his life. He was relaxed, calm,

135
00:07:27.439 --> 00:07:31.279
<v Speaker 1>and cooperative. It frightened me. I was shaken by the events.

136
00:07:31.360 --> 00:07:35.639
<v Speaker 1>Not only had that make believe prayer blown out the

137
00:07:35.639 --> 00:07:40.399
<v Speaker 1>soul of Charlie mckaig, but had backfired and got me too.

138
00:07:40.639 --> 00:07:43.480
<v Speaker 1>It was a conviction I cannot express even to this day.

139
00:07:43.920 --> 00:07:47.600
<v Speaker 1>Since then, Charlie has outlived three permanent pacemakers, and it

140
00:07:47.639 --> 00:07:50.759
<v Speaker 1>has been difficult to believe that this miserable prayer of

141
00:07:50.800 --> 00:07:53.160
<v Speaker 1>mine would have opened the road to my own salvation.

142
00:07:54.480 --> 00:07:56.240
<v Speaker 3>I thought you were starting with a bad one.

143
00:07:57.160 --> 00:07:59.519
<v Speaker 1>That was a bad one. He was in hell. Well

144
00:07:59.560 --> 00:08:06.800
<v Speaker 1>he went to hell. Well it's not all sunshine and rainbows.

145
00:08:06.839 --> 00:08:07.759
<v Speaker 1>I take it to you.

146
00:08:08.480 --> 00:08:10.000
<v Speaker 3>That would be kind of crazy, though.

147
00:08:10.560 --> 00:08:14.120
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Every time his heart stops when he comes back,

148
00:08:14.399 --> 00:08:18.079
<v Speaker 2>don't stop. I'm inhale.

149
00:08:19.240 --> 00:08:19.439
<v Speaker 5>That.

150
00:08:19.639 --> 00:08:21.639
<v Speaker 1>I mean, that is that not just I mean, it

151
00:08:21.639 --> 00:08:23.720
<v Speaker 1>gives me the chills. Really you think about it. I mean,

152
00:08:23.720 --> 00:08:25.399
<v Speaker 1>it's it's intense to think about.

153
00:08:26.079 --> 00:08:30.319
<v Speaker 2>He was there with la or the rich man in Abrahams.

154
00:08:30.519 --> 00:08:34.399
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, listen to this one because it gives you a

155
00:08:34.399 --> 00:08:37.120
<v Speaker 1>couple more visual details as we go through it. Right,

156
00:08:37.960 --> 00:08:41.039
<v Speaker 1>listen to this one. So this is the point.

157
00:08:40.759 --> 00:08:42.720
<v Speaker 2>Of view, different story.

158
00:08:42.840 --> 00:08:45.919
<v Speaker 1>It's a different story. And this is the patient recounting

159
00:08:45.960 --> 00:08:48.360
<v Speaker 1>it to the doctor. So this is from the patient's

160
00:08:48.360 --> 00:08:53.960
<v Speaker 1>point of view this time. Right, they said, you were

161
00:08:54.000 --> 00:08:58.000
<v Speaker 1>watching the television monitor to guide the pacemaker wire inside

162
00:08:58.000 --> 00:09:00.799
<v Speaker 1>my heart, and that's when it stopped. I was blacking out.

163
00:09:00.840 --> 00:09:02.799
<v Speaker 1>Then you hit me on the chest saying excuse me.

164
00:09:02.960 --> 00:09:08.240
<v Speaker 2>Then this is the same guy, totally different.

165
00:09:08.240 --> 00:09:11.840
<v Speaker 1>This is just a similar circumstance, similar circumstance. A lot

166
00:09:11.840 --> 00:09:14.679
<v Speaker 1>of this happens, like when you talk about from the

167
00:09:14.720 --> 00:09:17.360
<v Speaker 1>medical point of view, when someone while they have to

168
00:09:17.360 --> 00:09:20.879
<v Speaker 1>put a temporary pacemaker to get the heart kind of stabilized,

169
00:09:20.919 --> 00:09:23.320
<v Speaker 1>to kind of get it to keep the heart pumping

170
00:09:23.480 --> 00:09:28.120
<v Speaker 1>actionated blood through the body. It's you know, it's a

171
00:09:28.159 --> 00:09:30.759
<v Speaker 1>different type of CPR than you or me can give

172
00:09:31.000 --> 00:09:33.240
<v Speaker 1>because they're able to get the heart to beat as well.

173
00:09:33.279 --> 00:09:35.679
<v Speaker 2>But which I thought it was interesting they called it

174
00:09:35.720 --> 00:09:37.879
<v Speaker 2>the kiss of life because you know, you know, in

175
00:09:38.000 --> 00:09:42.679
<v Speaker 2>Genesis it says that Adam was a inanimate body until

176
00:09:43.120 --> 00:09:47.159
<v Speaker 2>God breathed the breath of life into his lungs. That's

177
00:09:47.159 --> 00:09:54.679
<v Speaker 2>pretty cool, all right, We're ready, Sorry, continue.

178
00:09:54.240 --> 00:09:58.759
<v Speaker 1>Sir, all right. Then your fist came down like a hammer.

179
00:09:59.120 --> 00:10:01.799
<v Speaker 1>I saw that skin, look in your eyes. Someone was yelling.

180
00:10:02.279 --> 00:10:05.200
<v Speaker 1>Something crashed over to my left, and everybody went crazy.

181
00:10:05.600 --> 00:10:07.799
<v Speaker 1>You started shoving me with both hands, and then I

182
00:10:07.879 --> 00:10:11.759
<v Speaker 1>was out of it. I was floating pitch black, moving fast.

183
00:10:11.960 --> 00:10:14.960
<v Speaker 1>The wind whistled by, and I rushed towards this beautiful

184
00:10:15.000 --> 00:10:17.879
<v Speaker 1>blazing light. As I moved past the walls of the

185
00:10:17.879 --> 00:10:22.120
<v Speaker 1>tunnel nearest to the light, caught fire. Beyond the blazing tunnel,

186
00:10:22.360 --> 00:10:25.279
<v Speaker 1>a huge lake of fire was burning like an oil spill.

187
00:10:26.039 --> 00:10:28.639
<v Speaker 1>A hill on the far side was covered with slabs

188
00:10:28.679 --> 00:10:33.240
<v Speaker 1>of rock. Elongated shadows showed that people were moving aimlessly

189
00:10:33.279 --> 00:10:36.840
<v Speaker 1>about like animals in a zoo enclosure. An old stone

190
00:10:36.879 --> 00:10:39.840
<v Speaker 1>building was on the right, mostly rubble with different levels

191
00:10:39.840 --> 00:10:43.600
<v Speaker 1>and openings, crammed with people trying to move about. Down

192
00:10:43.639 --> 00:10:45.639
<v Speaker 1>the hall, I saw an old friend who had died

193
00:10:46.279 --> 00:10:49.279
<v Speaker 1>the last time I recalled. They were dragging the river

194
00:10:49.399 --> 00:10:53.360
<v Speaker 1>for him. He had been involved with gambling. I yelled

195
00:10:53.360 --> 00:10:55.960
<v Speaker 1>to him. High there, Jim He just looked at me,

196
00:10:56.120 --> 00:10:59.080
<v Speaker 1>didn't smile. They were taking him around a corner where

197
00:10:59.080 --> 00:11:03.279
<v Speaker 1>he started screaming. I ran, but there was no way out.

198
00:11:03.360 --> 00:11:06.120
<v Speaker 1>I kept saying Jesus is God. Over and over I

199
00:11:06.120 --> 00:11:10.200
<v Speaker 1>would say Jesus is God. Some Way, somehow I got

200
00:11:10.240 --> 00:11:13.279
<v Speaker 1>back to you as you were putting in the stitches.

201
00:11:13.480 --> 00:11:17.080
<v Speaker 1>I loved every one of those stitches. Only God could

202
00:11:17.080 --> 00:11:18.919
<v Speaker 1>have gotten me out a mess like that. I'll never

203
00:11:19.000 --> 00:11:19.519
<v Speaker 1>forget it.

204
00:11:21.159 --> 00:11:26.159
<v Speaker 3>I mean, wow, that's pretty rough.

205
00:11:28.000 --> 00:11:28.600
<v Speaker 1>To see that.

206
00:11:28.879 --> 00:11:31.559
<v Speaker 3>But I mean it's like like you know, I've seen

207
00:11:31.600 --> 00:11:34.440
<v Speaker 3>the light, but then the walls turned the fire.

208
00:11:34.720 --> 00:11:37.279
<v Speaker 1>Yes, it's like you think it's gonna be positive.

209
00:11:37.320 --> 00:11:38.759
<v Speaker 3>I see the light. I see the light.

210
00:11:39.240 --> 00:11:45.799
<v Speaker 1>Oh no, it's gone the wrong way. I mean you

211
00:11:45.879 --> 00:11:48.320
<v Speaker 1>just think about that, the fact.

212
00:11:49.559 --> 00:11:54.600
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, the wrong light. Fire has light to the wrong light.

213
00:11:56.080 --> 00:11:59.320
<v Speaker 1>It literally just reading that gives me chills. I mean,

214
00:11:59.320 --> 00:12:02.519
<v Speaker 1>when you really think about these people, can you imagine

215
00:12:02.519 --> 00:12:06.519
<v Speaker 1>having that experience and say you're an atheist and you

216
00:12:06.559 --> 00:12:09.840
<v Speaker 1>go through and you see you get a chance to see,

217
00:12:10.039 --> 00:12:14.399
<v Speaker 1>oh there is something after death and it's not but

218
00:12:14.480 --> 00:12:17.360
<v Speaker 1>it's horrifying. Oh, I guarantee it, and you get that

219
00:12:17.440 --> 00:12:20.919
<v Speaker 1>second chance. Not everybody gets that second chance. Not everybody's

220
00:12:20.919 --> 00:12:22.240
<v Speaker 1>there to get that second chance.

221
00:12:23.159 --> 00:12:25.360
<v Speaker 2>So which I had something like that, But it was

222
00:12:25.399 --> 00:12:29.039
<v Speaker 2>a dream. You remember when we did our testimonies. Oh yeah, yeah,

223
00:12:29.159 --> 00:12:32.480
<v Speaker 2>I had a dream. I mean I was a believer saved.

224
00:12:32.679 --> 00:12:36.279
<v Speaker 2>It's just I was just not living right, you know

225
00:12:36.320 --> 00:12:38.960
<v Speaker 2>what I mean. So I don't know. I mean i'd

226
00:12:38.960 --> 00:12:40.360
<v Speaker 2>like to think I wasn't going to go to hell.

227
00:12:41.080 --> 00:12:45.000
<v Speaker 2>Maybe it was just a scared straight wake up Kyle

228
00:12:45.039 --> 00:12:46.919
<v Speaker 2>from God. But I mean it was just as real

229
00:12:47.039 --> 00:12:50.919
<v Speaker 2>as you know, like we're sitting here talking. Yeah, I mean,

230
00:12:51.840 --> 00:12:54.919
<v Speaker 2>this portal or whatever just opened up at the foot

231
00:12:54.919 --> 00:12:56.840
<v Speaker 2>of my bed and all these hands just come up

232
00:12:56.879 --> 00:13:01.600
<v Speaker 2>and just start grabbing me, pulling me, lywing and just screaming.

233
00:13:01.639 --> 00:13:03.559
<v Speaker 2>And then I woke up.

234
00:13:05.000 --> 00:13:08.039
<v Speaker 1>Do you remember what Doug said in church, right our pastor.

235
00:13:08.759 --> 00:13:11.720
<v Speaker 1>He said, some people, he goes, if you, if you

236
00:13:11.919 --> 00:13:15.840
<v Speaker 1>have committed yourself to Jesus, if you believe that He

237
00:13:15.879 --> 00:13:19.039
<v Speaker 1>has has died for you, he says, you're going to

238
00:13:19.120 --> 00:13:21.399
<v Speaker 1>get to heaven. I mean you can stop there, and

239
00:13:21.440 --> 00:13:23.559
<v Speaker 1>he goes, some people will get into heaven with their

240
00:13:23.600 --> 00:13:28.679
<v Speaker 1>tails on fire, skin of your teeth, Your tail will

241
00:13:28.679 --> 00:13:33.039
<v Speaker 1>be on fire, you'll get in, but but just barely,

242
00:13:33.879 --> 00:13:35.440
<v Speaker 1>because it can a.

243
00:13:35.399 --> 00:13:38.039
<v Speaker 3>Bunch of crowns or would your tail on fire?

244
00:13:38.279 --> 00:13:43.600
<v Speaker 1>You met the bare minimum requirements. I mean, that's exactly it.

245
00:13:43.639 --> 00:13:46.120
<v Speaker 2>As Phil Robinson said, you were a C plus man.

246
00:13:47.519 --> 00:13:51.559
<v Speaker 1>See he's good degrees. But that's I mean, that's about it.

247
00:13:51.720 --> 00:13:55.960
<v Speaker 1>But let's let's jump into a little more positive light

248
00:13:56.080 --> 00:13:58.039
<v Speaker 1>to kind of see maybe the other side of what

249
00:13:58.080 --> 00:13:58.840
<v Speaker 1>people see.

250
00:13:59.360 --> 00:14:02.519
<v Speaker 2>Okay, the good light, the good light, the good light,

251
00:14:03.200 --> 00:14:07.639
<v Speaker 2>the bright light, not the orange doom of fire light.

252
00:14:07.720 --> 00:14:11.879
<v Speaker 1>Not the s'mores light. Thoseores are good, you think there,

253
00:14:12.320 --> 00:14:22.279
<v Speaker 1>and I highly doubt it. I burned another one.

254
00:14:22.440 --> 00:14:25.879
<v Speaker 2>Hey, that would be hell for a fat man. Think

255
00:14:25.919 --> 00:14:28.080
<v Speaker 2>you think you're going to eat one? And no, oh,

256
00:14:28.320 --> 00:14:33.919
<v Speaker 2>I'm getting no again.

257
00:14:34.720 --> 00:14:36.039
<v Speaker 3>Belt again.

258
00:14:37.600 --> 00:14:44.519
<v Speaker 5>Anyhow, all right, we're back into a moving into a

259
00:14:44.559 --> 00:14:48.399
<v Speaker 5>different direction here once again, this is from the patient's

260
00:14:48.399 --> 00:14:49.000
<v Speaker 5>point of view.

261
00:14:49.080 --> 00:14:53.840
<v Speaker 1>Okay, my temperature was almost one hundred and six and

262
00:14:53.879 --> 00:14:57.440
<v Speaker 1>I was having cardiac arrhythmias. I felt an incredible pain.

263
00:14:57.960 --> 00:15:00.399
<v Speaker 1>The wall of my uterus was ripping apart. I was

264
00:15:00.440 --> 00:15:03.960
<v Speaker 1>in septic shock going into labor. As I lost consciousness,

265
00:15:04.000 --> 00:15:06.639
<v Speaker 1>I heard a voice shouting, I can't get her blood pressure,

266
00:15:07.279 --> 00:15:10.600
<v Speaker 1>and then within the tiniest fraction of an instant, I

267
00:15:10.720 --> 00:15:13.039
<v Speaker 1>was out of my body and out of pain. I

268
00:15:13.120 --> 00:15:15.000
<v Speaker 1>was on the ceiling in the corner of the room,

269
00:15:15.080 --> 00:15:18.600
<v Speaker 1>looking down, watching the doctors and nurses rush around frantically

270
00:15:18.639 --> 00:15:21.960
<v Speaker 1>as they worked to save my life. Then one of

271
00:15:22.000 --> 00:15:26.159
<v Speaker 1>the doctors, really upset, yelled obscenities, and somehow turned me over.

272
00:15:28.519 --> 00:15:30.639
<v Speaker 1>Now I was in a sort of a tunnel, a

273
00:15:30.639 --> 00:15:33.759
<v Speaker 1>cloud like enclosure. I felt wind brushing against my ears,

274
00:15:33.759 --> 00:15:36.039
<v Speaker 1>except I didn't have ears. I was there, but my

275
00:15:36.080 --> 00:15:41.320
<v Speaker 1>body wasn't. I began to feel the most incredible, warm, golden,

276
00:15:41.440 --> 00:15:46.360
<v Speaker 1>loving feeling, and that feeling was also a wonderful, warm

277
00:15:46.720 --> 00:15:50.240
<v Speaker 1>golden light. I was in this light a wisdom, and

278
00:15:50.279 --> 00:15:53.799
<v Speaker 1>that wisdom was the final word. The wisdom loved me,

279
00:15:53.840 --> 00:15:57.440
<v Speaker 1>and at the same time, it knew everything about me.

280
00:15:57.840 --> 00:16:00.559
<v Speaker 1>Everything I had ever done and felt, was there for

281
00:16:00.679 --> 00:16:03.320
<v Speaker 1>me to see. I wanted to proceed into the light

282
00:16:03.360 --> 00:16:05.960
<v Speaker 1>and stay there forever, but I was shown that I

283
00:16:06.000 --> 00:16:08.240
<v Speaker 1>had to go back and take care of my two children,

284
00:16:08.679 --> 00:16:11.399
<v Speaker 1>and in that same second, I was back in my body.

285
00:16:13.600 --> 00:16:16.000
<v Speaker 1>I mean to see that, to be in God's presence,

286
00:16:16.080 --> 00:16:18.000
<v Speaker 1>you know, we talk about that a lot, and like,

287
00:16:18.039 --> 00:16:20.039
<v Speaker 1>what would that be like to be around God? I mean,

288
00:16:20.120 --> 00:16:22.559
<v Speaker 1>think about even the disciples being around Jesus, to know

289
00:16:22.720 --> 00:16:25.879
<v Speaker 1>you could just I know, you could feel, you could

290
00:16:25.919 --> 00:16:30.159
<v Speaker 1>just feel everybody's drawn to him. And that's the same.

291
00:16:30.320 --> 00:16:32.440
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I can't even imagine you talk about was

292
00:16:32.480 --> 00:16:40.720
<v Speaker 1>it was it Abraham that that wanted to see God

293
00:16:40.840 --> 00:16:43.320
<v Speaker 1>and wouldn't let him see his face was and then

294
00:16:43.360 --> 00:16:45.440
<v Speaker 1>and he could only see his backside right as he

295
00:16:45.519 --> 00:16:49.519
<v Speaker 1>went by, And first a great wind came and all

296
00:16:49.559 --> 00:16:51.840
<v Speaker 1>this and and and they said when he came back,

297
00:16:51.879 --> 00:16:54.039
<v Speaker 1>he said, his face is glowing so much. And then

298
00:16:54.120 --> 00:16:57.240
<v Speaker 1>I think that happened to Moses. It was the burning bush, right,

299
00:16:57.600 --> 00:16:59.879
<v Speaker 1>his face was so bright. Yet Moses had to wear

300
00:16:59.879 --> 00:17:02.559
<v Speaker 1>a veil because his face was so bright.

301
00:17:02.919 --> 00:17:05.720
<v Speaker 2>In the transfiguration, Jesus glowed.

302
00:17:05.640 --> 00:17:07.960
<v Speaker 1>After exactly, So you get in the presence of God,

303
00:17:08.000 --> 00:17:12.680
<v Speaker 1>it's like it's like, my gosh, it's like, I don't know.

304
00:17:12.759 --> 00:17:14.680
<v Speaker 1>I always think about we we used to use these

305
00:17:14.839 --> 00:17:17.039
<v Speaker 1>little is cheesy at Sary, but we used to use

306
00:17:17.039 --> 00:17:19.799
<v Speaker 1>these phosphorescent spoons that you had to use a flashlight

307
00:17:19.839 --> 00:17:21.440
<v Speaker 1>to light up, and then they'd glow in the dark

308
00:17:21.519 --> 00:17:23.559
<v Speaker 1>all the time. And you'd use those at night fishing

309
00:17:23.599 --> 00:17:25.559
<v Speaker 1>for salmon off the pier. We used to do it

310
00:17:25.599 --> 00:17:27.680
<v Speaker 1>all the time. But it's the same thing, like that

311
00:17:27.799 --> 00:17:30.039
<v Speaker 1>light of God. It sits on you, it's there, His

312
00:17:30.319 --> 00:17:33.599
<v Speaker 1>his presence was on you. You could feel it. You'd

313
00:17:34.519 --> 00:17:36.880
<v Speaker 1>absorb it. Oh, you absorb it to some degree. But

314
00:17:37.000 --> 00:17:39.440
<v Speaker 1>at some point, you know, when you're separated from God,

315
00:17:39.480 --> 00:17:42.000
<v Speaker 1>it would slowly, that would slowly dissipate. You'd lose that,

316
00:17:42.200 --> 00:17:44.559
<v Speaker 1>you know what I mean. So I think I can't

317
00:17:44.559 --> 00:17:46.440
<v Speaker 1>even It's something we talk about it, it's something, but

318
00:17:46.720 --> 00:17:47.960
<v Speaker 1>something I can't even imagine.

319
00:17:50.000 --> 00:17:53.519
<v Speaker 2>And what's crazy is I think people honestly have like

320
00:17:53.680 --> 00:17:59.160
<v Speaker 2>encounters and stuff like that and you can't explain it

321
00:17:59.279 --> 00:18:01.519
<v Speaker 2>like they tried to.

322
00:18:01.720 --> 00:18:04.200
<v Speaker 3>People think they're crazy or you're full of it.

323
00:18:04.559 --> 00:18:08.680
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah. Love my aunt she passed away with cancer

324
00:18:09.319 --> 00:18:13.440
<v Speaker 2>and she stayed with my grandmother, and my grandmother and

325
00:18:13.519 --> 00:18:18.119
<v Speaker 2>my mom took care of her around the clock, and

326
00:18:18.240 --> 00:18:20.720
<v Speaker 2>you know, with the morphine and the you know, the

327
00:18:20.799 --> 00:18:24.039
<v Speaker 2>cancer eating her, you know, alive. She was talking crazy,

328
00:18:24.279 --> 00:18:27.279
<v Speaker 2>especially like at nighttime it would get really bad. I

329
00:18:27.279 --> 00:18:29.880
<v Speaker 2>mean she would talk about army people being on the

330
00:18:29.960 --> 00:18:31.960
<v Speaker 2>roof and they're after you know what I mean, it

331
00:18:32.039 --> 00:18:36.559
<v Speaker 2>was pretty bad. But the night that she passed away,

332
00:18:38.279 --> 00:18:44.839
<v Speaker 2>she had like fifteen to twenty minutes of just clarity.

333
00:18:44.960 --> 00:18:46.759
<v Speaker 2>But I mean, she knew what was going on around

334
00:18:46.759 --> 00:18:48.640
<v Speaker 2>her stuff. But she did have some I guess what

335
00:18:48.680 --> 00:18:53.640
<v Speaker 2>we would call kind of crazy talk hallucinations, I guess.

336
00:18:53.400 --> 00:18:53.599
<v Speaker 1>You know.

337
00:18:53.680 --> 00:18:56.920
<v Speaker 2>But it was weird because like my sister, she had

338
00:18:59.119 --> 00:19:04.200
<v Speaker 2>just recently had to meet carriage, and nobody knew just

339
00:19:04.240 --> 00:19:06.519
<v Speaker 2>I mean, like my mom and me and my other sister,

340
00:19:07.200 --> 00:19:10.519
<v Speaker 2>that's it's all it knew, you know. My aunt Sharon

341
00:19:10.559 --> 00:19:15.440
<v Speaker 2>didn't know. And my sister come to visit her because

342
00:19:15.440 --> 00:19:18.839
<v Speaker 2>we knew it was getting close. And she was my

343
00:19:18.839 --> 00:19:21.960
<v Speaker 2>aunt was sitting on the couch like cradling a baby.

344
00:19:23.160 --> 00:19:24.880
<v Speaker 2>I was sitting there looking at it, you know, and

345
00:19:24.960 --> 00:19:27.480
<v Speaker 2>talking to it, you know. And of course, you know,

346
00:19:27.519 --> 00:19:32.519
<v Speaker 2>I mean, anybody that has you know, these problems or hallucinations,

347
00:19:32.599 --> 00:19:34.599
<v Speaker 2>you know, you don't confront them, You go along with

348
00:19:34.640 --> 00:19:39.599
<v Speaker 2>it does not upset them. And my sister was like, Sharon,

349
00:19:40.400 --> 00:19:44.599
<v Speaker 2>whose baby you got? And she said that she just

350
00:19:44.640 --> 00:19:48.519
<v Speaker 2>looked right at her like disgusted and said, what kind

351
00:19:48.559 --> 00:19:53.799
<v Speaker 2>of mother does know her own baby? And she didn't

352
00:19:53.799 --> 00:19:56.240
<v Speaker 2>think nothing about it, you know, but she kept going on,

353
00:19:56.279 --> 00:19:59.039
<v Speaker 2>you know, talking about you know, this your baby duh,

354
00:19:59.119 --> 00:20:04.920
<v Speaker 2>you know, and then it kind of hit her. She's like, yeah,

355
00:20:05.079 --> 00:20:07.519
<v Speaker 2>you know, was it? Did she see my baby that

356
00:20:07.559 --> 00:20:13.000
<v Speaker 2>I lost? And then that same night, my mom went

357
00:20:13.039 --> 00:20:16.039
<v Speaker 2>to sit down on the couch beside of her and she's.

358
00:20:15.880 --> 00:20:17.480
<v Speaker 3>Like what are you doing on? Get up?

359
00:20:17.519 --> 00:20:20.599
<v Speaker 2>Get up, and freaking out. And mom stood up and

360
00:20:20.680 --> 00:20:22.200
<v Speaker 2>was like, what is it? And you know, she said,

361
00:20:23.079 --> 00:20:27.880
<v Speaker 2>you sit on daddy. And her dad was dead too,

362
00:20:28.720 --> 00:20:32.759
<v Speaker 2>so she was talking about seeing her dad and this baby.

363
00:20:32.880 --> 00:20:35.279
<v Speaker 2>And I think they said she even saw somebody that

364
00:20:35.279 --> 00:20:40.079
<v Speaker 2>said she saw her brother, my uncle Paul that night,

365
00:20:41.319 --> 00:20:45.119
<v Speaker 2>just you know, you know, supposedly saw all these dead

366
00:20:45.160 --> 00:20:48.680
<v Speaker 2>people and she passed that night. I mean, it was

367
00:20:50.200 --> 00:20:50.839
<v Speaker 2>kind of wild.

368
00:20:52.400 --> 00:20:56.119
<v Speaker 1>I wonder if God does that. And there's I got

369
00:20:56.160 --> 00:20:57.240
<v Speaker 1>some more stories.

370
00:20:56.920 --> 00:20:58.960
<v Speaker 2>Like the comfort on them or something before they.

371
00:20:58.839 --> 00:21:02.480
<v Speaker 1>Got more stories like that he could be comfort them.

372
00:21:02.559 --> 00:21:07.319
<v Speaker 3>But also look what it did to you. Oh yeah,

373
00:21:07.480 --> 00:21:09.039
<v Speaker 3>you know, that's like.

374
00:21:10.559 --> 00:21:14.279
<v Speaker 2>Whoa There is some you know, even if you add

375
00:21:14.319 --> 00:21:19.400
<v Speaker 2>a little doubt, well, there's something to this reassurance or yeah,

376
00:21:19.480 --> 00:21:20.359
<v Speaker 2>or reassurance.

377
00:21:20.880 --> 00:21:23.880
<v Speaker 1>Sorry, no, you're good now. I'm just saying I got

378
00:21:23.920 --> 00:21:26.960
<v Speaker 1>more stories like that for the future that we'll we'll

379
00:21:27.000 --> 00:21:30.039
<v Speaker 1>go into in the future, but that are things that

380
00:21:30.079 --> 00:21:35.640
<v Speaker 1>are pretty heavy in that regard. But I do believe that.

381
00:21:35.759 --> 00:21:38.119
<v Speaker 1>I believe exactly what you're saying. I think that that

382
00:21:38.200 --> 00:21:42.359
<v Speaker 1>God not only gives them peace before they pass, but

383
00:21:42.400 --> 00:21:45.880
<v Speaker 1>he also lets us have a glimpse to know that

384
00:21:45.880 --> 00:21:48.160
<v Speaker 1>they're going to be okay, to know that they're going

385
00:21:48.200 --> 00:21:55.200
<v Speaker 1>to a place where they're loved. I firmly believe that.

386
00:21:55.480 --> 00:21:58.759
<v Speaker 1>But I think that there's different ways that God will

387
00:21:58.759 --> 00:22:03.279
<v Speaker 1>comfort us in those kind of times. Way, Wall, I

388
00:22:03.319 --> 00:22:05.480
<v Speaker 1>got one more of these. Let's get through this line.

389
00:22:05.359 --> 00:22:07.720
<v Speaker 2>And enjoy this. This is like story time that you're

390
00:22:07.759 --> 00:22:12.480
<v Speaker 2>older and you enjoy it. Now we get a nap after.

391
00:22:13.599 --> 00:22:17.440
<v Speaker 1>Oh wit, a fruit snack, all right? Last one.

392
00:22:18.079 --> 00:22:19.799
<v Speaker 3>I don't know about the fruit snack.

393
00:22:19.599 --> 00:22:24.640
<v Speaker 1>But I love fruit snacks. Gushers. They're delicious.

394
00:22:24.920 --> 00:22:28.599
<v Speaker 2>Beef jerky and that's a beef jerky.

395
00:22:28.319 --> 00:22:31.279
<v Speaker 1>Is an adult fruit snack. Let's just be honest. That's

396
00:22:31.319 --> 00:22:32.440
<v Speaker 1>a man's fruit snack.

397
00:22:33.079 --> 00:22:34.759
<v Speaker 3>I'll agree with that, all right.

398
00:22:37.079 --> 00:22:41.039
<v Speaker 1>Kimberly Clark Sharp, aged twenty two, collapsed on the sidewalk

399
00:22:41.119 --> 00:22:44.920
<v Speaker 1>outside a motor Vehicle Bureau in Kansas. And then this

400
00:22:45.000 --> 00:22:48.279
<v Speaker 1>is her quote going into what she said, Suddenly there

401
00:22:48.319 --> 00:22:50.799
<v Speaker 1>was an explosion under me and reaching out to the

402
00:22:50.799 --> 00:22:53.720
<v Speaker 1>furthest limits of my view was this light. It was

403
00:22:53.799 --> 00:22:56.519
<v Speaker 1>so bright the sun is not as bright yet it

404
00:22:56.559 --> 00:22:59.480
<v Speaker 1>didn't hurt my eyes. It filled up everything, and I

405
00:22:59.559 --> 00:23:01.680
<v Speaker 1>was in the center of it. I was back with

406
00:23:01.720 --> 00:23:05.640
<v Speaker 1>my creator. This light was all love I was begiving.

407
00:23:05.640 --> 00:23:10.079
<v Speaker 1>I was being given information and a communication between myself

408
00:23:10.119 --> 00:23:13.200
<v Speaker 1>and the light. I understood everything I was told. It

409
00:23:13.240 --> 00:23:16.559
<v Speaker 1>was heaven more than ecstasy. It was a reunion of

410
00:23:16.559 --> 00:23:24.359
<v Speaker 1>the highest order. I mean that just I think I'd

411
00:23:24.400 --> 00:23:26.480
<v Speaker 1>be mad coming back.

412
00:23:26.599 --> 00:23:26.880
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

413
00:23:27.079 --> 00:23:31.400
<v Speaker 1>Actually, if you read this, it says that that they

414
00:23:31.440 --> 00:23:33.880
<v Speaker 1>that there is a lady who came back and another.

415
00:23:33.880 --> 00:23:36.599
<v Speaker 1>I mean, there's stories on top of stories in these books,

416
00:23:37.920 --> 00:23:41.680
<v Speaker 1>but it says that the one lady was ticked. She

417
00:23:41.880 --> 00:23:44.359
<v Speaker 1>was mad at everybody, mad at the doctors when she

418
00:23:44.440 --> 00:23:47.400
<v Speaker 1>got back, because she's you took me away from that

419
00:23:47.400 --> 00:23:51.480
<v Speaker 1>that feeling, that pure joy, ecstasy piece that I had.

420
00:23:51.519 --> 00:23:55.480
<v Speaker 1>But I think that you have to know there's a time.

421
00:23:55.559 --> 00:23:57.559
<v Speaker 1>But and I think it's a gift that some of

422
00:23:57.559 --> 00:24:01.359
<v Speaker 1>those people have been given in that instant, in both

423
00:24:01.400 --> 00:24:03.640
<v Speaker 1>sides of it, because some people are given a second

424
00:24:03.720 --> 00:24:06.119
<v Speaker 1>chance and other people know they can, they can be

425
00:24:06.240 --> 00:24:09.880
<v Speaker 1>comforted and know that when they pass, they know where

426
00:24:09.880 --> 00:24:11.799
<v Speaker 1>they're going, they know what they're going to see. They're

427
00:24:11.839 --> 00:24:15.759
<v Speaker 1>looking forward to that to know that this time on

428
00:24:15.839 --> 00:24:19.000
<v Speaker 1>earth is it's a blink of it. It's a blink

429
00:24:19.039 --> 00:24:22.440
<v Speaker 1>of God's eye for us. It seems, you know, a

430
00:24:22.480 --> 00:24:24.640
<v Speaker 1>long time. As we get older, it doesn't seem like

431
00:24:24.680 --> 00:24:28.880
<v Speaker 1>as long because it goes so fast, but it does. It. It's

432
00:24:28.599 --> 00:24:30.640
<v Speaker 1>it's the blink of an eye to God, and we're

433
00:24:30.720 --> 00:24:34.000
<v Speaker 1>so close to being in this presence. And I think

434
00:24:34.039 --> 00:24:36.680
<v Speaker 1>that some of these people are given a gift prematurely

435
00:24:36.880 --> 00:24:39.440
<v Speaker 1>just to see that, and maybe they need it, and

436
00:24:39.480 --> 00:24:42.000
<v Speaker 1>maybe maybe they needed to tell somebody around them, and

437
00:24:42.039 --> 00:24:44.240
<v Speaker 1>that was what God used it for, to help somebody

438
00:24:44.319 --> 00:24:46.839
<v Speaker 1>else come to him as well. I'm not sure, but

439
00:24:46.920 --> 00:24:50.640
<v Speaker 1>I would highly recommend you reading this book, like I

440
00:24:50.640 --> 00:24:57.400
<v Speaker 1>said to Helen back by Maurice s Rawlings, just really

441
00:24:57.559 --> 00:25:00.720
<v Speaker 1>really profound stuff that I think is. I mean, it'll

442
00:25:00.720 --> 00:25:02.880
<v Speaker 1>move you, it'll give you chills reading it because you're

443
00:25:02.880 --> 00:25:06.119
<v Speaker 1>seeing it from both sides. It's pretty it's pretty intense.

444
00:25:06.559 --> 00:25:09.680
<v Speaker 2>But but I wonder if that woman that was ticked

445
00:25:09.759 --> 00:25:14.319
<v Speaker 2>off might have been Baptist. You know, I grew up Baptist,

446
00:25:14.519 --> 00:25:16.759
<v Speaker 2>and you know, it means she's like, I was gonna

447
00:25:16.759 --> 00:25:18.519
<v Speaker 2>go to heaven. Now what if I screw up and

448
00:25:18.559 --> 00:25:21.839
<v Speaker 2>go to hell? You ruined it. I remember as a

449
00:25:21.880 --> 00:25:25.440
<v Speaker 2>kid pastor talking. You know, Yeah, you can live your

450
00:25:25.480 --> 00:25:28.440
<v Speaker 2>life and serve God and do all these things. But

451
00:25:29.039 --> 00:25:30.880
<v Speaker 2>then you go out and have a drink at the

452
00:25:30.880 --> 00:25:33.839
<v Speaker 2>bar with you buddy, and drunk driver hits you and

453
00:25:33.920 --> 00:25:36.200
<v Speaker 2>kills you. Well, Hell's your home. You're gonna open your

454
00:25:36.200 --> 00:25:41.799
<v Speaker 2>eyes an eternal fire. I'm like, that's so confusing when

455
00:25:41.839 --> 00:25:44.599
<v Speaker 2>you're a kid, especially, but I mean there's plenty of

456
00:25:44.720 --> 00:25:49.880
<v Speaker 2>adults that believe that, and you're one mistake away from hell.

457
00:25:50.359 --> 00:25:53.160
<v Speaker 1>And that is the well it says right there, blatantly

458
00:25:53.200 --> 00:25:55.160
<v Speaker 1>and once again in the Bible. And this is the

459
00:25:55.160 --> 00:25:57.839
<v Speaker 1>problem when people will listen to one person, and I

460
00:25:57.880 --> 00:26:01.200
<v Speaker 1>don't care where it is. If you you can hear

461
00:26:01.200 --> 00:26:03.119
<v Speaker 1>it at your church, you can hear it at And

462
00:26:03.559 --> 00:26:08.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm not don't get me wrong here. Church is extremely important.

463
00:26:09.000 --> 00:26:11.720
<v Speaker 1>I one hundred percent believe that you need to be

464
00:26:11.799 --> 00:26:16.119
<v Speaker 1>fed with other Christian people. But you can you're taking

465
00:26:16.240 --> 00:26:19.880
<v Speaker 1>a word from a man, right, This is not from God.

466
00:26:19.920 --> 00:26:22.680
<v Speaker 1>This is from a man. God charges us to be

467
00:26:22.880 --> 00:26:26.200
<v Speaker 1>in his word. God speaks to us through his word,

468
00:26:26.799 --> 00:26:29.880
<v Speaker 1>not through another person. We need to be in the Bible.

469
00:26:29.920 --> 00:26:31.559
<v Speaker 1>We need to be reading the Bible. We need to

470
00:26:31.599 --> 00:26:34.920
<v Speaker 1>have the Bible be part of our everyday life because

471
00:26:34.920 --> 00:26:37.720
<v Speaker 1>that's how God. I mean, it's a gift. Think about that.

472
00:26:37.839 --> 00:26:40.960
<v Speaker 1>Not only were we given the Holy Spirit to live

473
00:26:40.960 --> 00:26:45.319
<v Speaker 1>inside of us to help with that discretion, that discernment,

474
00:26:45.720 --> 00:26:47.640
<v Speaker 1>but at the same time we're given a gift. We

475
00:26:47.680 --> 00:26:49.799
<v Speaker 1>have God's word, we have the red letters right in

476
00:26:49.839 --> 00:26:53.799
<v Speaker 1>front of us. And the fact is that most people

477
00:26:54.920 --> 00:26:57.119
<v Speaker 1>don't even open it to look inside to look at

478
00:26:57.119 --> 00:26:58.720
<v Speaker 1>what God actually said, or.

479
00:26:58.680 --> 00:27:03.160
<v Speaker 2>Some countries don't even have it. Yeah, so it's like

480
00:27:03.200 --> 00:27:07.680
<v Speaker 2>it's that's the whole point of this. Yes, you know,

481
00:27:09.400 --> 00:27:13.680
<v Speaker 2>don't just get your theology and points from your pastor

482
00:27:13.680 --> 00:27:20.440
<v Speaker 2>at church, your local TikToker or YouTuber even podcaster, you

483
00:27:20.440 --> 00:27:22.319
<v Speaker 2>know what I mean. That's why we throw out tidbits

484
00:27:22.319 --> 00:27:25.240
<v Speaker 2>and we try to throw out so much scripture. And

485
00:27:25.319 --> 00:27:28.000
<v Speaker 2>we call it the dig because we want you digging

486
00:27:28.160 --> 00:27:29.680
<v Speaker 2>through the word of God.

487
00:27:30.119 --> 00:27:32.799
<v Speaker 1>Think about it like an infomercial, but don't take our

488
00:27:32.839 --> 00:27:38.799
<v Speaker 1>word for it. Read the Bible. Yes, exactly exactly. That's

489
00:27:38.839 --> 00:27:39.559
<v Speaker 1>so important.

490
00:27:40.319 --> 00:27:42.519
<v Speaker 2>That needs to be in season two promo.

491
00:27:43.119 --> 00:27:48.119
<v Speaker 1>But don't take our word for it. Dig yourself, dig yourself.

492
00:27:48.759 --> 00:27:50.920
<v Speaker 1>But that's important. I think that's something that we all

493
00:27:51.279 --> 00:27:52.920
<v Speaker 1>in the end we get down to. We're trying to

494
00:27:53.000 --> 00:27:55.960
<v Speaker 1>uncover stuff. We're not saying that we have the answers

495
00:27:56.039 --> 00:27:59.759
<v Speaker 1>like we said, but we're we're looking into it. We're digging,

496
00:27:59.799 --> 00:28:02.880
<v Speaker 1>we're researching, and we're just trying to ignite that flame

497
00:28:02.960 --> 00:28:05.000
<v Speaker 1>under other people to want to get into it, to

498
00:28:05.039 --> 00:28:07.039
<v Speaker 1>want to get into God's word more so that they

499
00:28:07.079 --> 00:28:11.440
<v Speaker 1>can they can get that discernment for themselves. They can

500
00:28:11.519 --> 00:28:14.680
<v Speaker 1>read in and they can listen to what God has

501
00:28:14.720 --> 00:28:16.720
<v Speaker 1>to say to them. And I've always said this is

502
00:28:16.720 --> 00:28:19.680
<v Speaker 1>that we could read we could read the same And

503
00:28:19.720 --> 00:28:21.599
<v Speaker 1>this is where I think a lot of people go

504
00:28:21.680 --> 00:28:23.920
<v Speaker 1>wrong and think the Bible is just a book. It's not.

505
00:28:24.839 --> 00:28:28.279
<v Speaker 1>There's so much more. It's that we could read the

506
00:28:28.319 --> 00:28:32.240
<v Speaker 1>same verse. And what God uses that to tell me

507
00:28:32.319 --> 00:28:33.880
<v Speaker 1>might be a little different than what he uses to

508
00:28:33.920 --> 00:28:36.480
<v Speaker 1>tell you. What you need to hear is sometimes different

509
00:28:36.519 --> 00:28:38.680
<v Speaker 1>than what I need to hear. I mean, in the end,

510
00:28:38.920 --> 00:28:42.359
<v Speaker 1>the endgame is all the same point. But the whole

511
00:28:42.440 --> 00:28:46.720
<v Speaker 1>thing is God's word is there. It's a gift that

512
00:28:46.799 --> 00:28:49.359
<v Speaker 1>we have that we can read, that we can hear

513
00:28:49.440 --> 00:28:52.880
<v Speaker 1>God talk to us, but we have to take that step.

514
00:28:53.039 --> 00:28:56.400
<v Speaker 1>God will meet us halfway, right, He's calling to us

515
00:28:56.839 --> 00:28:59.240
<v Speaker 1>all the time, but we have to take that next

516
00:28:59.240 --> 00:29:01.160
<v Speaker 1>step to get there and meet him in the middle.

517
00:29:01.240 --> 00:29:03.039
<v Speaker 1>We have to commit ourselves that way too.

518
00:29:03.200 --> 00:29:08.160
<v Speaker 2>So anyway, that's a good segue to end, I think so. Yeah.

519
00:29:08.160 --> 00:29:10.359
<v Speaker 2>Because you can't lean on a shovel.

520
00:29:10.640 --> 00:29:13.079
<v Speaker 1>And prayer for a hole, you gotta dig.

521
00:29:13.240 --> 00:29:13.960
<v Speaker 2>You got a dig?

522
