1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:07,639
Speaker 1: Christianity has to be conteined the deeds from secular history.

2
00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:17,000
For Jesus, strife is the human imagination. As Paul tells

3
00:00:17,079 --> 00:00:21,920
us in its first Letter to the corinthany were received,

4
00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:28,160
not the spirit of the world, but the spirit. It

5
00:00:28,359 --> 00:00:34,039
is from God that we might understand the gifts be

6
00:00:34,399 --> 00:00:41,200
told upon us by God. So tonight we will show

7
00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:47,079
you one of these gifts, if you really understand. To

8
00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:51,039
Jesus christ is, I tell you he is your own

9
00:00:51,119 --> 00:01:00,119
wonderful human imagination to death, This Christ, it comes when

10
00:01:00,119 --> 00:01:02,320
you are shocked, when you prepare it. If you were

11
00:01:02,399 --> 00:01:05,840
raised in the tradition so as to speak of one.

12
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:11,799
I was raised in a Christian home, and that's still

13
00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:14,719
likely hundreds of millions of Christians. We were taught it

14
00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:18,879
as tacked to the history. A little boy who was

15
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:23,079
born a woman who knew not a man, and that

16
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:26,079
his father was God, he was the son of God.

17
00:01:26,159 --> 00:01:28,719
And that was a story as I was taught it.

18
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:34,599
But I was searching and seeking from the time I

19
00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:35,599
think I can remember.

20
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:37,519
Speaker 2: I believe this story.

21
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:39,920
Speaker 1: If mother taught it to him, I did give it.

22
00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:45,159
And I can't tell anyone the shock that was mine.

23
00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:48,319
And sometimes maybe I wondered if it would not have

24
00:01:48,359 --> 00:01:53,200
been better to turn back, like is real in the desert,

25
00:01:53,239 --> 00:01:59,719
and go back in this label. But I couldn't anymore

26
00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:04,079
than they could. They had to keep moving towards the

27
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:09,000
promised land. For when you are distilusion haven't been taught

28
00:02:09,039 --> 00:02:12,199
to story as we all have been taught it to

29
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:15,120
this proper that he is not something in history.

30
00:02:16,039 --> 00:02:19,319
Speaker 2: He is nearer than your breathing. In fact, he can't

31
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:22,240
even be there. He is your very self.

32
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:27,879
Speaker 1: He is your own wonderful human imagination. It comes with

33
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:33,599
quite a shock. Well, I can tell it there by

34
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:39,599
telling you a story. The year was nineteen thirty three.

35
00:02:40,479 --> 00:02:46,479
Rosevelt was elected. I have been in the country for

36
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:49,960
eleven years. I never really wanted to go back to Barbada.

37
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:56,360
My parents came up in that year and they feely

38
00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:59,680
with me to come to Barbados and join the family,

39
00:03:00,039 --> 00:03:02,960
become a member of the family. And I declined.

40
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:03,400
Speaker 2: I said no.

41
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:08,599
Speaker 1: I saw them off at the vote, and strangely enough,

42
00:03:08,719 --> 00:03:12,039
as they failed, and they were on the deck, and

43
00:03:12,159 --> 00:03:15,879
I waved goodbye to him. A victoria feeling came over him,

44
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:20,039
and I had a desire that I never had in

45
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:23,000
eleven years. To vote to bother them. I had just

46
00:03:23,039 --> 00:03:26,599
said goodbye to them and said no to their request.

47
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:29,919
They would have paid all extendees to dropped me back.

48
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:36,319
And everything was in third. Then from the vote, I

49
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:41,719
went to my old traying Abdullah he was born so

50
00:03:41,919 --> 00:03:44,759
I am told in Ethiopia. He was a black man,

51
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:51,919
raised in the Jewish faith, but really understood Christianity as

52
00:03:52,039 --> 00:03:57,759
few men that I ever met understood. He understood the law,

53
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:03,680
not the promise. He understood the Lord. So I went

54
00:04:03,719 --> 00:04:05,879
to him and I told him. The peeliate came over

55
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:09,680
me that I wanted to go to Barbado. I had

56
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:10,360
waited my.

57
00:04:10,439 --> 00:04:15,439
Speaker 2: Parents and a picture your feeling forest, and he said

58
00:04:15,439 --> 00:04:15,759
to me.

59
00:04:16,399 --> 00:04:20,759
Speaker 1: You are in Barbado. Well, that did not make sense

60
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:23,560
to me. I'm standing in his plate on seventy second

61
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:29,120
Street off Central Park, that's where he lived with the

62
00:04:29,199 --> 00:04:33,879
thirty where seventy second Street, that I am in his

63
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:37,480
place and he's telling me that I am in Barbado.

64
00:04:39,079 --> 00:04:44,600
Speaker 2: He didn't explain what he meant. So as the day.

65
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:48,519
Speaker 1: Went by, I take to him that I am known

66
00:04:48,639 --> 00:04:50,879
mayor of the Barbados than I was when I told

67
00:04:50,959 --> 00:04:51,079
to you.

68
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:56,240
Speaker 2: And he said to me, if.

69
00:04:55,319 --> 00:04:59,720
Speaker 1: If you are in Barbado, you cannot discuss the mean

70
00:04:59,839 --> 00:05:01,199
to get into Barbato.

71
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:04,480
Speaker 2: You must actually live in.

72
00:05:04,639 --> 00:05:10,120
Speaker 1: Barbadd in your imagination as though you were there. I did,

73
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:16,839
I view the world from Barbating. If you sleep in

74
00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:22,800
Barbado and view the world from Barbato, the means will

75
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:25,480
appear and you will go to Barbaden.

76
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:28,560
Speaker 2: But because I am concerned.

77
00:05:28,079 --> 00:05:34,360
Speaker 1: You are already in Barbaded, because you desired it that intensively.

78
00:05:34,519 --> 00:05:36,560
All you have to do is can be to enter it.

79
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:40,839
And you enter it now in New York City, even

80
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:44,439
though that's two thousand miles across water, and you aren't

81
00:05:44,439 --> 00:05:48,720
going to walk across water, But you enter Barbades and

82
00:05:48,879 --> 00:05:49,959
view the world from it.

83
00:05:50,439 --> 00:05:54,120
Speaker 2: If you see the world from Barbabing, then you have

84
00:05:54,319 --> 00:05:55,959
to be in Barbadd.

85
00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:00,160
Speaker 1: He did not explain to me then, but I there

86
00:06:00,199 --> 00:06:05,759
and later that men being all imagination, man is wherever

87
00:06:05,879 --> 00:06:11,759
he is in imagination, and imagination is the God in man,

88
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:15,600
that is the eternal body of the Lord Devil tribe.

89
00:06:16,759 --> 00:06:22,319
And all things are possible Togin and by him all

90
00:06:22,439 --> 00:06:26,519
things were made, and without him was not anything made

91
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:32,040
that was made. That what is now proven was once

92
00:06:32,519 --> 00:06:36,480
only imagine these things. I did not know then.

93
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:40,680
Speaker 2: These don't be talked in the overall picture.

94
00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:45,439
Speaker 1: But I did my best, and I set man in

95
00:06:45,759 --> 00:06:49,720
barbated in my mother's home. I looked at the world

96
00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:53,639
and thought some barbaded. I saw New York City, two

97
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:59,360
thousand miles to the north of the north West. For

98
00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:03,199
we are a certain attitude thirteen nor New York is

99
00:07:03,319 --> 00:07:04,199
forty two nor.

100
00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:07,439
Speaker 2: We are the fifteen ninth longitude New.

101
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:11,839
Speaker 1: York to the seventy four right right no to red.

102
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:16,720
As I could imagine it, I heard the topical noise.

103
00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:20,360
We call this land topical. It really isn't propical in

104
00:07:20,399 --> 00:07:23,839
the two really two cents of the world. When you

105
00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:26,800
go into the tropics, it's something entirely different. I will

106
00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:31,279
drawn in the tropics almost only equator. It's an entirely

107
00:07:31,319 --> 00:07:34,759
different odor. Sun sets to go like this. You look

108
00:07:34,759 --> 00:07:38,279
at the sun, and the sun that's the third Suddenly

109
00:07:38,959 --> 00:07:42,240
a ball of red light becomes green. You're looking at

110
00:07:42,279 --> 00:07:45,399
the sun, and suddenly, in a matter of a six second,

111
00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:48,879
you're seeing a green sun. If you're seeing the complement

112
00:07:49,079 --> 00:07:54,759
of brad so we have no highlight symbardating. The sun

113
00:07:54,879 --> 00:07:59,079
goes down rappidle from a red ball to a green ball,

114
00:07:59,120 --> 00:07:59,800
and you're seeing a.

115
00:08:00,879 --> 00:08:02,920
Speaker 2: S The whole ap was their difference.

116
00:08:03,279 --> 00:08:06,959
Speaker 1: Will I put myself into death and felt that my

117
00:08:06,959 --> 00:08:09,639
mother and father were in their room, and that my

118
00:08:09,759 --> 00:08:12,959
brother those who were not getting married were in the house.

119
00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:16,800
The few big old horn about it, and they're like that.

120
00:08:18,519 --> 00:08:22,839
This was now late October. When it came to the

121
00:08:22,959 --> 00:08:27,079
end of November. I said to add I said, I

122
00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:32,759
am no letter Barbated. He said, you are in barbatd

123
00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:35,360
Then he turned it back on me and walked over

124
00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:40,240
the bedroom and slammed the door, which was not I'm

125
00:08:40,279 --> 00:08:41,720
invitating the politics.

126
00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:45,559
Speaker 2: Did you understood that you were keeping me a lesson

127
00:08:46,919 --> 00:08:52,600
the lesson of faith? If I am active teaving in Barbated,

128
00:08:52,759 --> 00:08:53,679
no power in.

129
00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:58,080
Speaker 1: The world to in the player with my journey to Barbata,

130
00:08:58,639 --> 00:09:03,879
which is now great November. The last ship out of

131
00:09:03,919 --> 00:09:07,559
New York City telling for Barbada was the sixth of December.

132
00:09:09,519 --> 00:09:14,120
I wanted to get there by Christmas, and so I

133
00:09:14,159 --> 00:09:17,480
could not raise the question anymore. But on the morning

134
00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:21,000
of the fourth or the third of December, I got

135
00:09:21,039 --> 00:09:25,039
a letter from my brother Victor. I did not ask

136
00:09:25,159 --> 00:09:27,679
him or any member of my family to bring me

137
00:09:27,759 --> 00:09:32,840
to Barbada. He wrote a letter and he justified the

138
00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:36,519
content in this matter. He said, we are, you know,

139
00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:41,200
a large family, nine brothers than a twict. We have

140
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:47,039
never been united around our Christmas table at Christmas. Think

141
00:09:47,159 --> 00:09:50,799
we were family, for there was an Integrati team, my twister,

142
00:09:50,919 --> 00:09:54,440
deputy and the last two boys of eight yield. By

143
00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:57,200
that time, my oldest brother had left for the Marara

144
00:09:57,320 --> 00:10:01,399
into the Siena, and and when he came back, my

145
00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:04,600
brother Lawrence went off to McGill to study medicine. And

146
00:10:04,639 --> 00:10:08,440
we were always moving around. But this time every one

147
00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:12,600
was present. But your story and if I'm enclosing a

148
00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:17,120
small little draft fifty dollars. But in nineteen fifty, when

149
00:10:17,159 --> 00:10:20,519
there were seventeen and a half million unemployed and we

150
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:24,240
didn't have two hundred and four million silicon, we only

151
00:10:24,279 --> 00:10:27,080
had one hundred and twenty odd billions, there was me

152
00:10:27,399 --> 00:10:29,519
normal that you're not old.

153
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:31,879
Speaker 2: Enough to know it. Me I traded. It was really

154
00:10:31,919 --> 00:10:32,399
a hollow.

155
00:10:33,399 --> 00:10:37,480
Speaker 1: But I was numbered among the unemployed, and so he

156
00:10:37,639 --> 00:10:41,679
knew that I could come if the tournament were there,

157
00:10:42,039 --> 00:10:45,440
that I had bypathic paid. So we enclosed a fifty

158
00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:48,279
dollars draft to buy a suit. Well, little buy a student.

159
00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:52,320
Those days for twelve dollars ten dollars you could buy

160
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:56,639
a third cue mcan to to three dollars. And so

161
00:10:57,600 --> 00:11:00,559
I went down to the team to company because in

162
00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:02,960
the letter is that I've notified the company to issue

163
00:11:03,039 --> 00:11:07,240
a ticket. And then the little fifty dollars you buy

164
00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:10,360
what you need for the chip, and then sign the chip.

165
00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:12,519
And when the ship comes in, I will meet the

166
00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:15,879
ship and say all the things you have interred all

167
00:11:15,879 --> 00:11:20,720
the day. But I went down to the ship, they'll

168
00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:22,919
say to me, I'm sorry, mister daddad, but we do

169
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:26,000
not have a first test tactic for you. We can
