## Transcript

[0:07] Speaker 1: You're just in time for the Bible Answer Man broadcast
[0:10] Speaker 1: with Hank Canagraph, the radio outreach of the Christian Research Institute.
[0:15] Speaker 1: Our purpose here at CRII is to equip Christians to
[0:19] Speaker 1: provide Biblical answers to life's most important questions, to read
[0:23] Speaker 1: the Bible for all it's worth, and counter the teachings
[0:26] Speaker 1: of cults and world religions that deviate from the plumb
[0:30] Speaker 1: line of God's word, because life and truth matter. For
[0:35] Speaker 1: more information, to order resources or donate, call eight eight
[0:38] Speaker 1: eight seven thousand CRII, or go online to equip dot org.
[0:44] Speaker 1: That's equip dot org. The following program was pre recorded.
[0:50] Speaker 1: Now here's the president of the Christian Research Institute, Hank Canagraph.
[0:55] Speaker 2: Thank you very much, Randy. Let's go to the phone
[0:57] Speaker 2: line's first step. Let's stuck to Kathy Field, California. Hi, Kathy, Hello.
[1:03] Speaker 1: I had a question.
[1:04] Speaker 3: I was reading in Joke today and when it talked
[1:07] Speaker 3: about the angels and Satan going before God and you know,
[1:11] Speaker 3: him wanting to do what he did to Job, what
[1:14] Speaker 3: came to my mind is how how do we know
[1:17] Speaker 3: this took place? Where does it say that? Where can
[1:20] Speaker 3: I read more about that? How do we know what
[1:22] Speaker 3: took place in heaven.
[1:25] Speaker 2: Well, how do we know that what we read in
[1:28] Speaker 2: the Bible is true? What is the barometer by which
[1:32] Speaker 2: we can say this is truth and something else is mythology.
[1:38] Speaker 2: Well we can go to the macro issue, and we
[1:41] Speaker 2: can look at the Book of Mormon. The Book of
[1:43] Speaker 2: Mormon makes claims for all kinds of people, all kinds
[1:47] Speaker 2: of particulars, all kinds of places. And when anthropology and
[1:54] Speaker 2: archaeology are applied to the Book of Mormon, we find
[1:58] Speaker 2: out that it's in deep trouble. It's not supported by anthropology,
[2:04] Speaker 2: it isn't supported by archaeology. Exactly the opposite is true
[2:10] Speaker 2: of the Bible. With virtually every turn of the archaeologist spade,
[2:15] Speaker 2: we find that what was once concealed in the soil
[2:19] Speaker 2: corresponds to that which is revealed in the scripture. So
[2:24] Speaker 2: we can build a cumulative case for the notion that
[2:27] Speaker 2: the Bible is the infallible repository of redemptive revelation, based
[2:35] Speaker 2: on manuscript evidence, based on archaeological evidence, based on predictive prophecy,
[2:45] Speaker 2: which cannot be pawned off to luck or good guessing
[2:49] Speaker 2: or common sense, and so based on that cumulative case,
[2:55] Speaker 2: we can say the Bible is reliable, we can trust
[3:01] Speaker 2: what the Bible says to be true. And I'm writing
[3:06] Speaker 2: about that in a book titled Has God Spoken? And
[3:10] Speaker 2: I'm answering that question in the affirmative, laying down all
[3:14] Speaker 2: of the evidence such that we can know, beyond the
[3:19] Speaker 2: shadow of a doubt, that the Bible is in fact divine,
[3:23] Speaker 2: as opposed to being merely human. In origin, of course,
[3:29] Speaker 2: the essence of the Book of Job is the story
[3:32] Speaker 2: of a man who loses everything. He loses his family,
[3:37] Speaker 2: he loses his wealth, he loses his health, and then
[3:40] Speaker 2: wrestles with the question why. The book begins with a
[3:46] Speaker 2: heavenly debate. The debate is between God and Satan, and
[3:50] Speaker 2: then it moves through three cycles of earthly debates between
[3:55] Speaker 2: Job and his friends, and concludes with the dramatic divine
[4:00] Speaker 2: diagnosis of what Job's problem is. Though Job's comforters accuse
[4:07] Speaker 2: him of sin, and though he himself expresses doubts about God,
[4:12] Speaker 2: he maintains his faith in the face of intense suffering,
[4:20] Speaker 2: and in the end acknowledges the sovereignty of God in
[4:24] Speaker 2: every aspect of life. So, in essence, Job's legacy teaches
[4:30] Speaker 2: us that the solution to our disappointment is not found
[4:35] Speaker 2: in answering the question why. It's found in trusting God
[4:40] Speaker 2: in the midst of our wives. Now you got to
[4:43] Speaker 2: remember that while I can codify the essence of the book,
[4:48] Speaker 2: I can also tell you that that book was written
[4:53] Speaker 2: in an identifiable place. I can also tell you about genre,
[4:59] Speaker 2: and if you learn how to read the genre properly,
[5:02] Speaker 2: you can extract the essence out of the message. You
[5:08] Speaker 2: can also look at the context in which it was written.
[5:13] Speaker 2: Job was a man of tremendous wealth and social status.
[5:16] Speaker 2: He lived during the time of the Patriarchs. He lived
[5:19] Speaker 2: at the time of Abram, Isaac Jacob Joseph in that timeframe,
[5:23] Speaker 2: and Job is among the earliest books of the Bible,
[5:26] Speaker 2: and takes place during a period of the Patriarchs. And
[5:29] Speaker 2: everything that we know about the patriarchs cash is out.
[5:33] Speaker 2: In other words, we don't know everything about them hasn't
[5:35] Speaker 2: been substantiated, for example, by archaeology. But what we have
[5:38] Speaker 2: fout does substantiate what we find within the Bible. So
[5:43] Speaker 2: we build a cumulative case for the Bible, and therefore
[5:46] Speaker 2: we accept a Biblical book as being divine as opposed
[5:50] Speaker 2: to merely human in origin. By the way, there are
[5:52] Speaker 2: principles of canonicity that we need to know about, because
[5:57] Speaker 2: men do not determine what is canonical and what is
[6:02] Speaker 2: not canonical. They only discover what God has determined based
[6:09] Speaker 2: on what the principles of canonicity are. Canon means measuring
[6:15] Speaker 2: or rule, and so there's a measure by which we
[6:19] Speaker 2: can know whether a book belongs in the Bible as infallible,
[6:26] Speaker 2: as inspired by God, or whether a book ought to
[6:30] Speaker 2: be on a second footing might be good for historical purposes.
[6:34] Speaker 2: In fact, the Bible quotes books which are not canonical,
[6:39] Speaker 2: but they're on a different footing. All truth is God's truth.
[6:43] Speaker 2: You can find truth in all kinds of places, but
[6:45] Speaker 2: they're not canonical. So there is a measure by which
[6:48] Speaker 2: you can determine what belongs in the Bible and what
[6:50] Speaker 2: does not belong in the Bible. Let's go back to
[6:54] Speaker 2: the phone lines. Talk to Kevin. He's listening in Kansas. Hi, Kevin,
[6:59] Speaker 2: doing good? He are you good?
[7:01] Speaker 4: I have a quick question in Genesis two twenty four.
[7:04] Speaker 4: I understand that you know we're taught that marriage in
[7:07] Speaker 4: the eyes of God is between one man and one woman,
[7:10] Speaker 4: and that Jesus teaches us in Matthew nineteen. Anything outside
[7:13] Speaker 4: of that would be considered, you know, adulterous. So my
[7:16] Speaker 4: question is, I understand that the Bible just gives us
[7:20] Speaker 4: the facts that many men had multiple wives throughout history,
[7:24] Speaker 4: But how come some of them, like David or Solomon,
[7:27] Speaker 4: how come.
[7:28] Speaker 5: They weren't known as adulterers.
[7:30] Speaker 4: For their many wives, even though we know scripture teaches
[7:33] Speaker 4: marriages one man and one woman.
[7:35] Speaker 2: Yeah, well, good question. But the difference that we have
[7:39] Speaker 2: in the Bible is a difference between what is descriptive
[7:44] Speaker 2: and what is prescriptive. So what the Bible does is
[7:49] Speaker 2: demonstrate the consequences that follow inexorably, like night follows day
[7:55] Speaker 2: when someone does something that is outside the will of
[7:58] Speaker 2: the Lord. You certainly see that in the most graphic
[8:02] Speaker 2: of terms with David's son Solomon. You see that in
[8:07] Speaker 2: the end, Solomon's many wives and concubines turned his eyes
[8:12] Speaker 2: away from the Lord, and so he died really in
[8:16] Speaker 2: a miserable condition when you think about it. He was
[8:18] Speaker 2: building pagan shrines and altars to pagan gods for his
[8:23] Speaker 2: pagan wives. So the edict is clear. Deuteronomy seventeen seventeen
[8:29] Speaker 2: memorable because of its address you must not multiply wives.
[8:33] Speaker 2: And if this was true for the kings, how much
[8:36] Speaker 2: more was it true for the people. But polygamy was
[8:40] Speaker 2: practiced in spite of God's warnings, in spite of the
[8:46] Speaker 2: prescriptions that you find in scripture, and you are correct
[8:50] Speaker 2: to say Genesis to twenty four is a classic case
[8:53] Speaker 2: in point in the New Testament Matthew nineteen. But it
[8:56] Speaker 2: doesn't end there. There are so many other past that
[9:00] Speaker 2: may clear the very point that you just made. A
[9:04] Speaker 2: wife must not separate from her husband. It's never plural,
[9:07] Speaker 2: not husbands. And first Timothy points out that an overseer
[9:12] Speaker 2: must be the husband of one wife, not multiple wives.
[9:16] Speaker 2: So I think the principle is very clear in scripture.
[9:19] Speaker 2: But the Bible doesn't airbrush anything. It presents people with
[9:24] Speaker 2: all their proclivities, with all their warts and moles and wrinkles.
[9:28] Speaker 2: And thank God, God accepts us not because we're righteous,
[9:32] Speaker 2: but rather because of the righteousness of Jesus Christ.
[9:35] Speaker 5: That's a big deal. And you know, I've heard people
[9:38] Speaker 5: teach that if you die committing a specific sin, or
[9:41] Speaker 5: if you've committed adultry, and then you remarried, or all
[9:44] Speaker 5: different kinds of things that they'll say that you're damned
[9:46] Speaker 5: and you're going to hell because your repentance is not
[9:49] Speaker 5: genuine because it hasn't fully led you out of that sin.
[9:53] Speaker 5: How do they come up with that? Because for somebody like, well.
[9:55] Speaker 2: You can't. It's just nonsense. And all kinds of people
[9:57] Speaker 2: spew all kinds of nonsense. That's why you have to
[9:59] Speaker 2: use discernment skills and listen to the right people and
[10:02] Speaker 2: then test what they say in light of scripture. Because
[10:05] Speaker 2: I'm certainly not infallible, but the Bible is, and therefore
[10:07] Speaker 2: you get to test what I say in light of scripture.
[10:09] Speaker 2: But yeah, I mean, the reality is that there are
[10:12] Speaker 2: some sins that are very difficult to eradicate in our lives.
[10:17] Speaker 2: They're like cords that mind us. And so we seek
[10:20] Speaker 2: the righteousness of Jesus Christ. We seek sanctification. We are
[10:26] Speaker 2: part of a body of Christ where we have accountability,
[10:28] Speaker 2: and each person helps us as we grow in the
[10:31] Speaker 2: grace and knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ. We need
[10:33] Speaker 2: one another, as Romans twelve depicts.
[10:36] Speaker 5: Okay, thank you very much, you got.
[10:37] Speaker 2: It, Kevin, Thank you so much for your call will
[10:39] Speaker 2: You're right back with more of your questions than just
[10:41] Speaker 2: a few moments.
[10:43] Speaker 1: The Church of Almighty God, also known as Eastern Lightning,
[10:47] Speaker 1: is a socially subversive pseudo Christian cult. It follows a
[10:51] Speaker 1: self proclaimed female Christ whose heretical doctrines incite violence, denying
[10:58] Speaker 1: the Trinity and Biblical authority. Eastern Lightning uses psychological intimidation,
[11:03] Speaker 1: disrupts families, and has even perpetrated physical assaults in graphic language.
[11:09] Speaker 1: The counterfeit Christ exhorts followers to abandon their families and
[11:14] Speaker 1: devote themselves to recruiting new converts, branding those who refuse
[11:18] Speaker 1: as worthless. You can read more about the iron Rod

[15:10] Speaker 2: Thank ye, Randy, and let's go right back to our
[15:13] Speaker 2: phone callers. Next up is Eugene in Freehold, New Jersey.
[15:16] Speaker 2: How you Eugene, Hi, Hank, are you good? Thank you.
[15:21] Speaker 6: Look, my question was about Daniel and also about Mark
[15:27] Speaker 6: thirteen fourteen. Yeah, the one that Jesus was telling his
[15:31] Speaker 6: deciders about and the one that Daniel spoke about. Is
[15:35] Speaker 6: that the same or is it a future that Christ
[15:39] Speaker 6: spoke about opposes past that Daniels spoke about.
[15:43] Speaker 2: Yeah. No, It's very interesting because if you look at
[15:46] Speaker 2: Matthew twenty four, which is the equivalent of the Mark passage,
[15:50] Speaker 2: you have Jesus actually saying, when you see standing in
[15:53] Speaker 2: the Holy Place the abomination that causes desolation spoken of
[15:57] Speaker 2: through the prophet Daniel, that the reader understand, then let
[16:01] Speaker 2: those who are in judea fleet of the mountains and
[16:04] Speaker 2: so forth. And of course Jesus applies that to his
[16:07] Speaker 2: own generation. He says, I tell you the truth, this
[16:09] Speaker 2: generation will certainly not pass away until all these things
[16:14] Speaker 2: have happened. Heaven and earth will pass away, but my
[16:17] Speaker 2: words will never pass away. So the bomination of desolation
[16:21] Speaker 2: spoken of by Jesus was prophesied six centuries earlier by Daniel,
[16:28] Speaker 2: and Jesus now takes what happened in the second century
[16:33] Speaker 2: under Anticus the fourth Epiphanes his desecration of the temple
[16:38] Speaker 2: and applies it to what is going to happen when
[16:40] Speaker 2: the temple is not just going to be desecrated, but
[16:45] Speaker 2: it is actually going to be destroyed. So, in the
[16:48] Speaker 2: fullness of time, what Jesus declared desolate was desolated by
[16:54] Speaker 2: Roman infidels. They destroyed the temple fortress, they entered the
[16:58] Speaker 2: daily sacrifice, and this time, very much unlike the time
[17:03] Speaker 2: of Antiochus, the blood that desolated the sacred altar didn't
[17:07] Speaker 2: flow from the carcasses of unclean pigs, but from the
[17:11] Speaker 2: corpses of unbelieving pharisees. This time, the Holy of Holies
[17:16] Speaker 2: was not only desecrated by the defiling statue of a
[17:20] Speaker 2: pagan god, but it was destroyed by the greed of
[17:24] Speaker 2: despoiling soldiers, and the temple would never be rebuilt again.
[17:29] Speaker 6: Okay, so jeeves One talking about future, well.
[17:34] Speaker 2: He was he was talking about the future to him,
[17:37] Speaker 2: and he identified that future precisely. So Jesus looked back
[17:42] Speaker 2: at what happened in the second century under Antiicus. Daniel
[17:48] Speaker 2: predicted what was going to happen four centuries before it happened.
[17:53] Speaker 2: So Daniel was writing in the sixth century, predicted what
[17:56] Speaker 2: would happen two centuries before Christ. Christ looked forward a
[18:03] Speaker 2: generation and prophesied what would happen forty years Hence, so
[18:09] Speaker 2: he looked forty years into the future and said, this
[18:12] Speaker 2: generation will certainly not pass away until all these things
[18:18] Speaker 2: have been fulfilled. So it's passed to us. But it
[18:21] Speaker 2: was future at the time that Jesus spoke.
[18:24] Speaker 6: Okay, all right, So what Daniels spoke of and what
[18:29] Speaker 6: Christ spoke of was want of the same.
[18:32] Speaker 2: Well, Christ looked at an abomination of desolation that actually
[18:37] Speaker 2: took place in the second century BC under Anticus, the
[18:42] Speaker 2: fourth Epiphanes, and he used that abomination, which was absolutely
[18:48] Speaker 2: riveted in the minds of his hearers, because every Honkah
[18:53] Speaker 2: they celebrated freedom for the Jews under Judas Maccabeus, so
[19:00] Speaker 2: be cause celebration ensured that they would never forget what
[19:03] Speaker 2: happened under anticks the Fourth Epiphanies. So Jesus now takes
[19:08] Speaker 2: the abomination of desolation spoken of by the prophet Daniel,
[19:14] Speaker 2: and he predicts that the same thing is going to happen.
[19:19] Speaker 2: But now the temple is not just going to be desecrated.
[19:23] Speaker 2: The temple is going to be destroyed and never built again.
[19:29] Speaker 6: Okay, got it. I believe. So other words, where you're
[19:33] Speaker 6: saying what Daniel spoke of was in the future, and
[19:37] Speaker 6: what Christ spoke of what's going to happen after his death?
[19:43] Speaker 2: After his death, Yes, within a generation. So what happened
[19:47] Speaker 2: when Jesus spoke was he identified the timeframe by saying, truly, truly,
[19:54] Speaker 2: I send you this generation will certainly not pass away
[19:58] Speaker 2: until all these things have been fulfilled. Having an earth
[20:01] Speaker 2: will pass away. My words will never pass away, right.
[20:05] Speaker 6: Okay, okay, okay, thanks a lot, Henk, appreciate it.
[20:08] Speaker 2: You got it. Thank you so much for your call, Eugene.
[20:11] Speaker 2: You know, I tell you a lot of people they
[20:13] Speaker 2: need a little patience to get through this stuff. And
[20:16] Speaker 2: you know, I got to be aware of that. I've
[20:17] Speaker 2: been dealing with this for a long time. I didn't
[20:20] Speaker 2: come up with it immediately. It took some digging, so
[20:23] Speaker 2: don't feel bad if it takes a while for you
[20:25] Speaker 2: to catch the import of what's going on from both
[20:29] Speaker 2: a biblical and a historical perspective. We're all learning together.
[20:32] Speaker 2: Let's go back to the phone lines. Now we're going
[20:34] Speaker 2: to talk to Don. He's listening in Charlotte, North Carolina.
[20:38] Speaker 5: Hi, Don, Yes, how are you, sir?
[20:40] Speaker 2: I'm doing well.
[20:42] Speaker 7: Enjoy your show, by the way, Thank you. I had
[20:44] Speaker 7: an incident that happened to me beautiful last and it
[20:50] Speaker 7: kind of opened my eyes about some things. It made
[20:53] Speaker 7: me start studying the Holy Scriptures a lot more. I
[20:57] Speaker 7: had a counter of seeing what we were. A lot
[21:02] Speaker 7: of people might call UFOs, but and I know, I
[21:06] Speaker 7: know it sounds crazy, but I started studying the Bible
[21:10] Speaker 7: because I was intrigued. These things scared me. A person
[21:12] Speaker 7: with a weak hard driver with me that night and
[21:14] Speaker 7: dawn when it happened would have had a heart attack.
[21:17] Speaker 7: But to make a long story short, I started reading
[21:20] Speaker 7: the Bible because I haven't been the same since this experience.
[21:23] Speaker 7: And I started reading something in the Book of Genesis
[21:25] Speaker 7: talking about the Neffelins. Don't I don't know anything about
[21:28] Speaker 7: this type of stuff. So I started getting real curious
[21:31] Speaker 7: about this stuff. And I'm finding out that demons was
[21:36] Speaker 7: having babies with humans and it stuff sounded like star
[21:39] Speaker 7: trek stuff. And then I said, well, it's in the Bible.
[21:42] Speaker 7: Why don't churches talk about this stuff? And then I
[21:45] Speaker 7: was looking in the Book of Enoch and he was
[21:48] Speaker 7: talking about how this, how these things took place, how
[21:51] Speaker 7: these spirits even like a lot with the offsprings of
[21:55] Speaker 7: these people, and the Bible said so and so, as
[21:58] Speaker 7: it was in the Book of Before is coming when Noah,
[22:01] Speaker 7: they're going to be doing that same stuff again, breedom
[22:03] Speaker 7: with women. Do you think it's powerful that what we
[22:06] Speaker 7: are seeing is these dem experience that are out here
[22:10] Speaker 7: in the atmosphere that is doing these things, and they
[22:13] Speaker 7: are influencing what's going on in government and things. You know,
[22:17] Speaker 7: I'm thinking they don't have fulls, but I'm just because
[22:20] Speaker 7: everything has really got me spending all past its.
[22:23] Speaker 2: Okay, Well, what you have to do is just calm
[22:25] Speaker 2: down and take a breath here, because you start with
[22:28] Speaker 2: a flawed premise. The subjective experience that you had I
[22:33] Speaker 2: cannot analyze. I can tell you this that hard evidence
[22:36] Speaker 2: on UFOs is hard to come by eighty percent or
[22:40] Speaker 2: more of them can be attributed to natural causes, but
[22:43] Speaker 2: I can't deal with that effectively. What I can deal
[22:45] Speaker 2: with effectively is the objective word of God. And if
[22:49] Speaker 2: you go to Genesis chapter six, you do not have
[22:53] Speaker 2: demons having sex with women and having offspring as a
[22:58] Speaker 2: result of that. As I've said on this broadcast, that
[23:01] Speaker 2: has more in common with Greek mythology than Christian theology.
[23:07] Speaker 2: The sons of God there do not refer to fallen angels,
[23:13] Speaker 2: nor can we presume in any sense that fallen angels
[23:17] Speaker 2: have the power, the creative power to make bodies and
[23:22] Speaker 2: real fertile sperm thus have sex with women. And by
[23:27] Speaker 2: the way, your premise is correct. If we had the
[23:31] Speaker 2: presupposition from a Biblical perspective that demons did have creative
[23:35] Speaker 2: power and could take on bodies and could produce fertile sperm,
[23:40] Speaker 2: then they not only could do what they did in
[23:43] Speaker 2: the past, but they could be doing it in the present.
[23:46] Speaker 2: But the Bible simply does not allow for that. That
[23:49] Speaker 2: has much more in common, as I said, with Greek mythology,
[23:54] Speaker 2: where the gods had sex with women, than Christian theology,
[23:58] Speaker 2: and Christian theology each kind reproduces after its own kind.
[24:03] Speaker 2: Let's go back to the phone lines. Talk to Tyler.
[24:06] Speaker 2: He's listening in Nebraska.
[24:07] Speaker 8: Hi, Tyler, Good afternoon, Henk. Thanks for taking my call,
[24:10] Speaker 8: my pleasure. My question in regards to Charles Spurgeon. I've
[24:16] Speaker 8: been doing a little bit of finding to some of
[24:18] Speaker 8: his past sermons and so on and so forth, and
[24:21] Speaker 8: I just wanted to know about your take on him,
[24:25] Speaker 8: since I have a lot of respect of what you
[24:26] Speaker 8: had to say, as well as his credibility. Can you
[24:30] Speaker 8: divulge on that?
[24:31] Speaker 2: Well, I'll tell you it was pretty interesting. Last night
[24:34] Speaker 2: I couldn't sleep, and so at four point thirty in
[24:38] Speaker 2: the morning, I was reading a sermon by Charles Hadden Spurgeon.
[24:43] Speaker 2: He is oftentimes referred to as the Prince of preachers,
[24:47] Speaker 2: and he is one of the most quotable preachers of
[24:50] Speaker 2: all times. I remember him saying, were you ever in
[24:55] Speaker 2: the melting pot? Dear friends? I have been there in
[24:58] Speaker 2: my sermons with me. The result of melting is that
[25:02] Speaker 2: we arrive at a true valuation of things, and we're
[25:06] Speaker 2: poured out in new and better fashion. And that he said, oh,
[25:09] Speaker 2: we may almost wish for the melting pot. If we
[25:13] Speaker 2: may but get rid of the dross, if we may
[25:17] Speaker 2: but be made pure, if we may but be fashioned
[25:21] Speaker 2: more completely like unto our Lord. He didn't live a long,
[25:27] Speaker 2: robust life. In fact, he had everything but his health.
[25:30] Speaker 2: He died at age fifty seven. And yet while he lived,
[25:33] Speaker 2: he made his life count. He's regarded as history's most
[25:36] Speaker 2: widely read preacher, and his sermons stand as the largest
[25:42] Speaker 2: set of books by a single author in the history
[25:44] Speaker 2: of the Christian Church. So I think that his life
[25:48] Speaker 2: bears eloquent testimony to the fact that the tragedy is
[25:51] Speaker 2: not in dying young, but in living a large and
[25:54] Speaker 2: healthy life, in never using it for eternal values.
[25:59] Speaker 8: Well, I appreciate your answers, and keep up the good work.
[26:02] Speaker 8: I appreciate it.

[27:05] Speaker 1: wildly popular near death experience book Proof of Heaven assures

[27:12] Speaker 1: only unconditional love and joy await us in the world
[27:15] Speaker 1: to come. But our Lord warned that while the gate
[27:18] Speaker 1: to Hell is wide, the road to it broad, and
[27:21] Speaker 1: those who enter through it are many, the gate is
[27:24] Speaker 1: narrow and the way is hard. That leads to life,
[27:26] Speaker 1: and those who find it are few. Your generous support,
