[Music]
does that make sense to some yeah what
about to you
too much evidence refuting give me some
evolution
that's a trick question no it's not it's
a hard one it's not see
i wouldn't say with lust what would you
say it's with
i would stick with my eyes
what happens after you die where are you
going uh
i i think that there is a sacred place
i'd have to get there to find out really
so you don't believe in new york
until you go here to find out no that's
not what i said well
tell me how do you get to the afterlife
you have to die you don't wait till you
die to find out
nobody's come back to tell me are you
sure no
but can you show me someone i can give
you some evidence
okay you mean like heaven yes now what
happened i don't know
what you have to do to go there joel
he's gonna be a good person are you a
good person
absolutely now we're gonna have a little
court case can you gosh
we're going to wait we're going to weigh
my goods and bads or we'll get away your
goods and banks do you believe in god's
existence
no you don't are you an atheist no
so what are you if you don't believe in
god's existence agnostic
hey so you don't know if god exists yeah
do you think i can help you to know if
god exists
you might you could try okay we'll just
do a little one here see that little
building
yeah was there a builder or not yeah how
do you know
you can't see them hear them touch them
taste them or smell them how do you know
there was a builder
i can see it because the building exists
yeah okay now carry that logic to
paintings and paint us
let your imagination go see the painting
how do you know there was a painter
because it materialized because the
painting exists
paintings don't paint themselves
buildings don't build themselves
so you know there was a creator because
of creation look around you
flowers and birds and trees the sun the
moon the stars
all these things have order to them like
a building and like a painting
so we know god exists because of
creation does that make sense
to some yeah what about to you too much
evidence refuting
give me some evolution explain to me how
the eye evolved
the eye evolved from what all things
evolved from it was actually
the lack thereof it was a light sensor
that over
it was a light sensor yes it was a part
of the body that's
where did that come from there's several
animals that have them right now but
where did it come from what was the
source
a single-celled organism that evolved
into the rest of our body so it's
incredibly complex as a single cell
yes incredibly complex where did it come
from
you can't just say there was a light
sensor that had to have a source
an intelligent designer
stay with me and talk to me andrew so
you're gonna make it to heaven
yes okay we're gonna have a little court
case okay i'll be your prosecutor you'll
be the defender
okay do you know what intent is in law
intent right it's all about intention
that's what you're
saying see a man can plow into a crowd
in his car right but if there's no
intent to kill them that's an
intelligence
murder it was an accident i'm going to
see if there's intent with you and if
there is
you can be prosecuted can you be honest
with me sure how many lies have you told
in your life of
too many to count what do you call
someone who's told too many to count
likes
a a human yeah we know you're a human a
liar
yeah so what are you that would make me
a liar now do you still think you're a
good person absolutely
have you ever stolen something even with
small and your whole life yes
what do you call someone who steals
things a thief so what are you
i'm a thief no you're not you're a lying
thing
now do you still think you're a good
person yes have you ever used god's name
in vain
yes okay would you use your mother's
name as a cass word
uh other people do i don't know would
you
no you wouldn't insult it by doing that
no do you believe god gave you life
yes are you thankful yes why then did
you use his name
as a cass word explain it to me why
it's a good question i don't know you
know what it's called
no blasphemy instead of using a filth
word to express disgust
you took the holy name of god and used
it to cuss
punishable by death in the old testament
do you still think you're a good person
yeah jesus said if you look at a woman
and lust for her
you commit adultery with her in your
heart have you ever looked at a woman
with lust
that's a trick question no it's not it's
a hard one it's not see
i wouldn't say with lust what would you
say it's with
i would with my eyes
yeah attraction so have you ever looked
at a woman with lust is there blood in
your veins or not
yes okay so have you looked at a woman
with luck sure
i'm not judging you but you've told me
you're a lying thieving
blasphemous and altered heart i'm a
lustful blasphemous and you have to face
god on judgment day so here's the big
question yes
if god judges you by the ten
commandments on judgment
we've looked at four you're going to be
innocent or guilty well i've been asked
for forgiveness
oh it wasn't the question would you be
honest not guilty
i guess guilty at this point heaven or
hell
by my court case apparently i'm going to
burn
yeah you're in big trouble yeah remember
we opened up by saying we're going to
look at your good and bad yeah
are you a good you do good things oh
yeah do you think that will help on
judgement day i've
i guess we'll try that in a quarter i
know it's not going to work in man's
court
you say judge i rob the bank shot the
guard but i want to tell you about some
good things i do yeah he's going to say
what are you talking about he won't
judge you on your good deeds
only on your crimes and it's the same
with god okay
so here's the big question does it
concern you that if you died today
and god gave you justice you'd end up in
hell does it concern me yeah
no because i believe that if i ask for
forgiveness i'll be all right
you know what you've just done what just
broke the first and the second of the
ten commandments
do you know what it is what you
committed the crime of idolatry
before i was a christian i made up a god
to suit myself
i shaped a god in my image from my
imagination a congenial
kind of solicitor i know what an idol is
it just forgave everybody of everything
and yet there's only one god and every
time you sin against him you store up
his wrath
that's going to reveal it on the day of
judgment and if you're not concerned for
your eternal
eternal salvation i am i love you i care
about you
i don't want you to end up in hell that
horrifies me it takes my breath away
thank you i'm seriously and earnest
about it now tell me
what did god do for guilty sinners so
they wouldn't have to go to hell do you
know
he gave up his life yeah he died on the
cross do you understand the legal
implications of that
no the ten commandments are called the
moral law
you and i broke the law jesus paid the
fine
yes that's what happened on the cross
that's why he said it is finished just
before he died
right if you're in court joel and
someone pays you fine if you're guilty
the judge can still let you go because
someone's paid your fight
you can say joel there's a stack of
speeding fines here yeah deadly serious
but you're free to go because someone's
paid the fight and you can do that which
is legal and right and just
right and god can legally dismiss your
case let you walk even though you're
guilty
take the death sentence off you let you
live forever
because of jesus death and resurrection
all you have to do to find everlasting
life
is repent of your sins and trust in
christ you know what repentance is
asking for forgiveness it's more than
that it's when you confess and forsake
sins you don't say i'm a christian but
you're lying steel and fornication right
let's plan the hypocrite just deceiving
yourself and then you trust in jesus
like you trust to parachute
now i'm going to let you go in a sec but
i want to give you one last analogy okay
i'd like you to think about it
joel at the moment you like a man on the
edge of a plane ten thousand feet up
he knows he has to jump and this is his
plan he's gonna flap his arms and try
and save himself
not say that man don't do that trust the
parachute
very simple so don't trust your goodness
to save you on judgment day
it's not going to work you like the rest
of us you're going to multitude our sins
transfer your trust from yourself to the
savior and the second you do that
you've got god's promise and you can't
lie because he's without sin
it's impossible for him to lie you've
got god's promise you'll grind the
everlasting life as a free gift
does that make sense makes sense to me
what are you a boyfriend girlfriend
ever had an argument there's like a
barrier between you and one of you says
i'm so sorry honey please forgive me
immediately there's reconciliation
because there's humility and an apology
right at the moment there's a barrier
between you and god it's called sin
it's rebellion you go to god and say i'm
so sorry please forgive me
and the bible says he's rich in mercy if
you've got a contrite heart
if you've got a humble heart and then
trust in jesus like you trust a
parachute
can you think of anything you trust a
chair a chair anything else
what about when a doctor gives you pills
a doctor gives you
tablets he says take one every two hours
you don't say well this kill me you just
trust them
when you step in an elevator you trust
the cables you trust a pilot when you
get into a plane with your life
even when you're getting a taxi you
trust the taxi driver to drive you right
so there's all these things we trust
that can let us down but god will
never let you down the bible said he's
faithful it promised so if you
you two love each other absolutely are
you married
no you're gonna get married hopefully
okay well if you care about her
think about what we talked about talk
about it together and get right with god
together because there's nothing more
important than your eternity
does that make sense absolutely makes
sense what i'm saying to you
