do you believe there's a man named noah like in the bible right now the bible noah no i do
not believe he existed so you don't think he built
No, no. I'm very comfortable with my atheism, but I support myths.
You think God sent a flood and drowned the whole world?
No.
You don't?
No.
If he had, would it have been fair to do so?
Oh, no. Why would he do that?
Well, the Bible says because the heart of man was corrupt,
his imaginations were continually evil,
and there was great wickedness and violence on the earth.
Do you think that's justification for wiping out the whole of humanity
except for Noah and his family?
No.
Noah, born over 2,700 years BC, was a ship builder and a prophet of the century.
Many think of Noah and the ark as a story from the past, but did you know that according to Jesus,
the events surrounding the life of Noah are directly related to Noah?
to you. Jesus said, as in the days of Noah, so shall it be with the coming of the Son
of Man. In other words, the things that happen in Noah's day will be similar to the things
that are going to happen during the time referred to in the Bible as the end of the age.
In a moment you're going to see clearly that the end of the age is happening now.
But of all the signs, the one prevalent thing that happened in Noah's day
was that people who knew right from wrong chose to ignore Noah's warning of God's coming judgment.
Such is the way of the 21st century.
Do you think there was a man named Noah like in the Bible?
I did for a long time. I don't right now.
I believe there was a man named Noah.
I'm pretty sure that that's kind of a story.
Do you think there was a man named Noah like in the...
Bible?
There's lots of great stories about it.
Do you believe there was a man named Noah?
I believe at one time there was very likely a man named Noah.
Whether or not he was a biblical figure and swallowed by a whale, I find it statistically
difficult to believe that nobody's been swallowed by a whale before.
It's a lot of animals on a little ark.
I mean you're looking at over a million species out there.
I don't find it possible.
The boat would have to be like the size of the moon.
The Scriptures call Noah a preacher of righteousness.
His life was prophetic in that the ark was a type of the then coming Christ, and we like
Noah our preachers of righteousness, warning every man, calling a corrupt world to repentance
and faith in Jesus, and telling them to be ready for his coming, of which no man knows
the hour nor the day.
Do you think we're living in the last days?
No, I don't think so. People said we were going to die in 2012 and we didn't.
I believe the whole world is going to come to an end real quickly here.
I honestly couldn't care less about when the last days are coming.
It'd be nice if the world ended.
It's not my concern whether it's tomorrow or a million years from now.
Do you know what the signs are of the end of the world?
Uh, I know some of them.
Tell me, what are they?
Nope, don't care.
Some dude in a horse chariot with like a spear,
going down from heaven.
Weather changes.
We got wars and rumors of wars.
Definitely the last days.
The economy's going crazy.
I know there's still bad things happening,
but I don't think it's enough for the last days to occur.
It's very dark right now.
Here are ten major biblical signs for which we are to look.
The scriptures tell us there will be muddy hungry Bible teachers who would slur the Christian faith and deceive many.
By covetousness, they will exploit you with deceptive words.
Yeah, name it and claim it, health and wealth.
You got it right, baby. You got it right.
Lord, let this anointing and power flow through our sister now.
I want you to know something. I am a prophet of God.
I'll never be broke another day in my life.
Say it again.
I want you to make me a cake today, a hundred dollars.
What happened to the pain?
It's gone.
Just shake off that worry.
Shake off that sickness.
A vow of faith has got to take faith.
That's why I say a thousand dollars.
And people like those TV ministries and stuff,
they're raking in lots of money.
They're driving around in nice fancy cars.
Taking money from people who file blindly and profiting from it is something I think is bad.
Money money thing is money. It's money. Do you think the Bible says that it does?
It's the love of money.
That's right.
It's the love of money.
It's greed, this root of all evil.
See, Bob, I can't send $100.
If you can just worship God through $5 or $10, every apostle Paul said, the first of
each week, lay aside as God had prospered you.
That's why I believe God prospers people.
Satan gave me this message.
I mean, it's a lie of the devil, I shouldn't have said that.
The second sign we're looking at is found in Matthew chapter 24.
And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places.
Giant locusts, floods, hurricanes.
So you're thinking we could be living in what the Bible...
Yeah.
So do you think this should be a judgment day?
No.
What about hell?
I don't believe in how sign number three the moon will become blood red
The Sun shall be turned into darkness and the moon into blood
I'm a skeptic so you know I like to believe but I'm also a skeptic that
believes also so it could I mean you always see the moon change in different
colors obviously it could turn to red
In just over an hour, the full moon will turn a deep red for most of the planet.
Actually, I've seen the the moon turn red before and it has worried me. I was like, you know, what is this?
What does it mean freak you out?
freak me out. How would you react if you saw the moon was red, blood red tonight?
I would be worried. You'd be worried? Yes I would. Why?
Well, in my physical condition, I would think, well, goodness gracious, there's something
wrong.
Um, I think I need to run and hide and get underneath a rock.
You may remember about ten or so years ago, this little girl named Jessica in Florida
was abducted by a man.
She was seven years old, cute little thing.
He sexually molested her and then buried her alive in a plastic bag.
They found her clutching to her teddy bear.
If you were the judge...
How would you sentence that man?
I would probably, I would probably sentence him to castration and yeah, death.
Well, that's how you feel strongly about it.
I do.
So why do you feel like that?
Well, that's just that's like the purest form of evil. What do you think?
So in other words you believe in justice?
Yeah, I guess so, but I don't believe that
We have the right to judge me
Just made a judgment
You just made a judgment on an evil act and I think it was good it shows you value human life
And you care about that little girl, and I'm not without judgment
Yeah, so what I'm saying is that if that's true, if you think such evil should be punished
so severely, how much more should God punish a murderer or a rapist?
Can you see that?
God's judgment is a place called hell.
That's his prison and there's no parole.
That's eternal.
In the last days blasphemy will become commonplace.
I watch have you been to our rated movies. I've been to x-rated movies
Do you notice how that use the name of Jesus and blasphemy and movies? Of course
Why don't they use the name of Muhammad in a movie to cast?
I know I don't talk about religion over interviews
Can you think of anyone in history, a famous person like Napoleon or Shakespeare or Hitler
who had their name used as a cuss word?
Can you think of anyone?
Not at this moment, no.
Only Jesus Christ.
Why would they use his name as a cuss word?
I don't know.
It's a really good question because I am guilty of that myself.
Martin Scorsese's award-winning movie The Wolf of Wall Street received unusual entertainment.
The feature film starring Leonardo DiCaprio
broke the world record for its liberal use of expletives.
The F-word was used on average of every 21 seconds,
506 times.
The S-word, 70 times.
God's name was blasphemed 28 times.
Do you think Moslems would allow Hollywood to use their prophet's name as a cuss word?
They respect their prophet and they expect people to, and yet we pay Hollywood to blaspheme
the name of Jesus.
Agreed.
Another sign of the end of the age is an increase in acceptance of homosexuality as there was
in the days of Sodom.
Even so will it be in the day when the Son of Man is revealed.
I noticed when I came up, you two are kissing in public.
You are obviously gay.
Do you often do that in public?
Yeah, yeah, well, I mean why wouldn't we I mean straight people do it everybody does it if you're in love you're in love
Nothing wrong with being gay
No, I mean, you know as long as they don't push it on other people, you know people have the choice to you know
Do what they want
In the last days religious hypocrisy will be prevalent.
Their conduct belies the genuineness of their profession.
when'd you last read your bibles this morning uh yeah this morning at church
your boy
again yes are you a Christian yes sir you're being born again yes sir yes I am
yes I am the crew
Yes, I am Christian.
Do you love the Lord?
Yes, sir.
Do you go to R-rated movies?
Yes, sir.
No, I watch them at home.
Yes, I do.
What about you?
And you're a Christian?
Yes.
What about the sex scenes?
Does that worry you?
Sure.
So you shouldn't go to them?
It doesn't mean that we shouldn't go you guys watch couples make love on movie screens and our rated movies
Where do we are just?
go to your ending point on this one of course you watch it everybody's gonna
watch it what about you
I watch them, but do they bother you?
No, you stay for the sex scene or it's always there so like it's uncomfortable at points you look the other way or do you watch no I do
watch. I mean, I look at all look the other way, but yeah, this is a little
A husband and wife are making love in their bedroom, and they notice the curtains pulled
back on the bedroom window, and there's a guy peering through the window at them, having
sex.
What should they do?
Um, call the police.
Call the cops.
I would tell my wife, girlfriend, or whoever she is at the time they'll call.
Girlfriend?
Yes.
Making love on the bed with your girlfriend?
You mean wife.
Oh, wife, you know.
No, wife.
Well...
It's not sex unless you're married.
Yes.
It's in the Bible.
You should know this.
I know that.
So you havin' sex outside of marriage?
Yes.
You guys havin' sex?
Yes.
So you're Christians?
Yes.
Have you had sex before marriage?
Yeah, f*** yeah, I haven't been married yet, and you know, I've said tons of it.
Are you a Christian?
Yeah, I am a Christian actually.
If you're a Christian, you shouldn't support dirty movies.
You shouldn't support movies that have blasphemy in them.
Does that make sense?
Yeah, it makes sense.
Hollywood's nothing but a glorified pimp who provides clientele for America,
actors who'll take their clothes off and prostitute themselves for money.
Do you think I'm right?
Yeah, that's true.
Actually, when you put it that way, yeah.
Watching people have sex.
Yes, you look at a big window called a screen
He looks through a real window, but what's the difference between you and the guy who's peering through the window?
You're trying to justify watching dirty movies. Is that what you're telling me? Yeah
Bottom line you shouldn't be doing that, but I do it anyway
What's the difference between you looking through a window we call a screen and the
guy looking through the window at people?
The same thing.
What's the difference between you and him?
Yeah, there is. You're paying for yours.
Should the Christians support and pay Hollywood to do that?
We sittin'.
You're paying them to do so.
No, I pirate all my stuff.
Ha ha!
Steal it?
No!
Thou shalt not steal.
What do you mean pirate?
I don't pay for it.
Isn't that stealing, pirating?
Yes. Do you ever ask what God thinks as you're sitting there watching couples make love?
No.
Jesus said if you look at a woman and lust for her, you commit adultery with her in your
heart. That's how high God's standards are. Am I making you think?
Yeah, you are.
What about you? Are you going to keep going to dirty movies and fool yourself a Christian?
No.
So you're going to go to dirty movies from now on?
Depends if the movie's good or I'll go watch it.
I'm going to go to church right now, so I definitely repent again.
Are you going to keep going to dirty movies as a Christian?
Oh no, sorry, no, not after this.
Are you serious?
Yeah, I'm serious.
Are we talking about your salvation?
You don't want to play the hypocrite.
Does this make sense to what I'm saying?
Yeah, that makes sense.
After this talk I see the point, you know, it really, I have to step it up in my faith
in what I believe in and I should really stop.
The Bible claims that in the last days people will deny that God created the heavens and that He judged the world through Noah's flood.
Okay, so you're an atheist, so you believe that nothing created everything, which is
scientifically impossible.
Well, I believe that we came from a black hole, yes.
Do you believe there was a worldwide catastrophic flood?
No, I do not.
70% of the Earth is covered in water. Where did it come from?
That's a good question.
Do you know?
I have no clue at all.
How did the water come here?
You mean from the original Earth when it was formed?
Well, the scientists have projected it possibly from comets.
What's your credentials?
I'm a professor of geology and oceanography at Cal State University, Long Beach.
Rick, where do oceans come from?
Well, the oceans are constantly changing, but originally the water on the Earth came from a couple different sources.
One is that the materials that accumulated in the very early stages of the Earth, sort of as meteorites and as trade bombardments, had water in them, and as they heated up,
They melted, they gave off gases and water vapor, and that condensed to form a lot of
water in the Earth.
But another way that they came in is that a lot of the stuff that came in accumulated
in the planet to form the Earth was...
were comets and comets are made at largely water ice, methane ice.
So comets bombarded the earth and all the water came from comets?
A lot of the water came from comets. Just a theory or is it
a fact, well-known fact?
Well, it's nothing about the origin of the Earth as a fact.
It was long, long, long time.
You're a science teacher. Do you think comets brought water to the Earth?
No. No? No.
Here's a question. Where did all the fish come from? There are 28,000 different species of fish and then there's whales and dolphins and all these different sorts of fish. Do they come on the comets?
That's a silly question.
Where did they come from?
You don't understand what a silly question that is.
Well, the oceans is...
You're talking, you think that animals are writing in on comments through the vacuum
of space?
No, no, I don't believe that, but where did all the fish come from?
There are 28,000 different species of fish in the oceans.
Do you have any research?
I'm doing it now, I'm coming to experts.
You need to do your homework before you talk to experts.
Well, nobody knows exactly how and when life started on Earth, but it's entirely possible
that the early prebiotic material, or even the first microbes, traveled to Earth, aboard
a rock of some kind, and seeded the once barren ground with what would later become every
species alive today.
OK, well, thank you for talking with me.
The world is covered with water.
Water doesn't dissipate.
You know, that's what nature says.
If evaporates comes down, evaporates comes down,
always stays the same.
So if there's a worldwide flood,
water should still be hanging around somewhere.
Do you think 70% of the earth being covered in water
is a good clue that there was a worldwide flood?
Oh, whoa, he makes a good point.
That's an excellent point, actually.
Yeah, it's.
Yeah, I mean, it's clear.
I mean, I have a raging clue that possibly that's
an excellent point.
Maybe it is a realization.
that the existence of the clue of a flood.
Water.
We can't live without it.
Neither can dogs, frogs, cats, bats, rats, or rats,
or trees, or fleas, or bees, nor can the horse, of course.
We swim in it, we wash in it, we play in it, and for fish they'll die if they don't stay in it.
We clean with it and we cook in it. It's in our tea, our coffee, in our milk, in our tears,
in our blood, and in our mouth. Water is the perfect combination of oxygen and hydrogen.
Together they make thirst quenching and life-giving water. So where did it all come from?
The Smithsonian magazine says water is so vital to our survival, but strangely enough we don't know the first thing about it, literally the first.
Where does water, a giver and taker of life on planet Earth?
There's no possible way in which, like, they were able to fit every species of animals on earth into that boat.
completely impossible to have two of every species on a boat. It's impossible. It does seem impossible.
When it comes to Noah and his are two relevant questions arise, how many animals did it carry
and how large was the ark? See if you can spot the repetition of a
particular word that skeptics dislike, of the birds after their kind, of animals after their kind,
and of every creeping thing of the earth after its kind, two of every kind will come to you to keep them alive, Genesis 6-20.
That's right, it's the dreaded word kind, that archaic word that the dictionary defines as a class or group of individual objects, people,
animals, etc, of the same nature or character or classified together because they have traits in common.
It's a despised word because it means that God didn't have to get today's approximately 6.5
million species to fit into the ark.
It means no one needed only one pear for the canine kind,
from which would come all the species of dog, from the chihuahua
to the Great Dane, and one pear for the feline kind,
from which would come the domesticated cat and the tiger, etc.
So now we're talking just thousands of animals, not millions.
And because these animals need not have been fully grown, averaging the size of a sheep,
it becomes possible.
Another consideration is the size of the ark.
It wasn't the little rubber ducky bobbing boat portrayed in kids cartoons.
It was a massive three-level ship, the size of one and a half football fields.
Another argument skeptics have against the worldwide flood is that there's not enough
water on the earth to cover the highest mountains.
They forget that mountains were not the height they are now, and that the earth and the sky
store trillions of tons of water.
The Bible says that the flood waters came from both the sky and the earth.
All the fountains of the great deep were broken up and the windows of heaven were opened.
Genesis 7-11.
The end of the age will be marked by fear of the future.
Men's hearts failing them from fear and the expectation of those things which are coming on the earth
Are you fearful of the future?
Yes.
Plan is only getting worse and worse to be honest. I see it happen day by day.
Are you fearful of the future for humanity? Definitely.
In the last days, scoffers will mock the second coming by claiming that these signs have always been around.
Where is the promise of his coming?
Can't say that we're living at the end of the age because that's that's been talked about for so many years
They've been saying that for I don't know how many years now that stuff's been going on all along
These signs have always been around.
People interpret things the way that they would like to.
Do you think we're seeing those in today's society?
I think we're not only seeing it today's say,
I think we've been seeing it since the city began.
We live in a world that has no idea
where people are ignoring the warning of the gospel.
They're eating, drinking, marrying, and giving a marriage.
So also will the coming of the Son of Man be?
What do you please think about this, or are you gonna close mine?
No, your thing is, I don't think that those things are all that serious.
I know if God thinks they're serious, you know, so be it.
If I'm Barris Choodle...
No, no, I'm embarrassed.
Well, I appreciate you listening.
What I'm going to do is change gears a little.
Oh, where can you handle it?
I can handle changing gears.
Yeah.
Are you a good person, like, ethically?
Yeah, moral.
I like to think so.
I think so.
What about you?
I've done some...
But I think I have a good thing going on with the big man up top.
How many lies have you told in your life?
Thousands.
What about you?
A lot.
I've told a lot of lies.
Oh, ****.
I have no idea.
You just blaspheme God's name.
Sorry.
Just broke the third command.
We haven't even got there yet.
What are you?
A liar.
With a stolen something.
Yeah.
What do you call someone who steals things?
A thief.
What are you?
I'm evidently a thief and a liar.
Have you ever looked to know one more with a last?
Oh, yes. All the time.
More than 10 times a day.
I'm not judging you guys, but by your own admission you're lying thieves bless femurs and adulterers of her
I can enjoy my life, however the f*** I decide to, and that's what I choose to do.
Have you ever used God's name in vain?
Yeah, unfortunately, yeah.
Yes, I have.
Yeah, that's one of my favorite faces and I always use it.
It's called blasphemy to use God's name as a cusport. It's very serious in his eyes. I don't think this will help either
What's that? That's a sign of the devil?
I've done all the things that God tells me not to do.
It's not judging you guys, but by your own admission, you both said you're lying, thieving,
blessed Mr. Doris at heart, and you have to face God on Judgement Day.
If he judges you by the Ten Commandments, you're going to be innocent or guilty.
Oh, dude. I broke like nine of ten.
What about you? I played the fifth.
Are you gonna be innocent or guilty?
Very likely guilty.
Haven't all helped. I suppose hell.
Hell, this is where we'll go.
What you gonna have and all hell?
I don't know, as far away from your god as possible.
You're not a good person. You're like the rest of us.
You're a lying thief, a blasphemer and an adult or a heart.
My own admission.
I mean, I'd obviously be guilty unless he's the worst judicial system I've ever seen.
So what can you do to justify yourself, Chris?
How can you escape the damnation of hell?
That's a good question, that's a good question, I don't know if I have an answer to that question.
I believe that God is so loving.
I don't believe he would send someone to hell.
So Hitler's got a little mansion in heaven.
Six million Jews, men, and women of children mean nothing to God.
Do you believe in justice because you're made in the image of God?
You're not like an animal, a cat or a dog.
Dogs don't care about justice and truth and retribution.
Each year we spend trillions of dollars worldwide to see the justice is done.
And that's because we're unique in creation.
We're moral beings made in the image of God.
Would you agree with that?
I believe that the good I've done outweighs the bad I've done.
try that in a court of law. It doesn't work. If you've raped a woman and say,
judge, I get money to charities, he's not even going to take that into account.
He's only going to take your crime into account. It's exactly the same with God.
Doesn't matter how much good you do, it's not going to wash away your sins.
Now, we're talking about your eternal salvation.
Where are you going to spend eternity? You're like a little kid who's holding a
stick of dynamite and it's sparkling and he loves the sparkle and I'm saying toss
it from you, toss it from you. The wages of sin is death.
That's what the Bible says, the soul that sins it shall die, the thing that you delight in,
your sins, is going to be the death of you your most precious life.
Is that concerning?
A little bit, that's why I've been going to church.
You know, if you saw me on the edge of a plain ten thousand feet up,
and I was wearing a parachute that was really loose, I'm sure you'd tell me.
Absolutely.
Nathan, I'm telling you today, this is your salvation that's loose, you've got to tighten things.
There was one God. He's morally perfect and holy and just and he's going to judge the
world and righteousness on the day of judgment and you and I both need to save
you. Someone who can wash away our sins. They didn't know what God did for
What the hell?
Game has only begun soon, right?
You need God's forgiveness and God offers it through what Jesus did on the cross.
But you understand the legal implications of that.
the legal implications. No, explain them.
Well the Bible says God is a judge. He's perfect and holy. You and I are criminals
We're sinners. We're violated as law the ten commandments. We're heading for a place called hell
God's prison without parole
But 2,000 years ago Jesus stepped in and paid our fine and full
You and I broke God's law Jesus paid our fine. That means God can legally dismiss your case
You can commute your death sentence and let you live forever because your fire must be paid by another.
You know, if you're a court of law and you're guilty and someone pays you fine, the judge will say,
fine's paid, you're out of here. And that's what God can say of your crimes against this law.
He can forgive you and he can let you live because of the suffering death and the resurrection of
Jesus Christ. Each of us have sinned, but the moment we come to Christ and are born again,
God closes us in what He calls righteousness so that He no longer sees our sins.
That means He doesn't have to punish us with how He can grant us their mortality.
What you have to do is repent of your sins.
Don't confess Him to a priest, confess them and forsake them.
That is, don't play the hypocrite and put your trust in Jesus Christ.
The moment you do that God will remake your sins grant you everlasting life
And you'll give you a new heart with new desires
So you're long to do the things that please him and not the things of your own sinful desires. Does that make sense?
It makes sense
Jesus had watched it look profit a man if he gains the whole world and loses his own soul.
Now we're making sense.
That was excellent.
It makes sense what you're saying.
That ending just, that was like the catalyst to like, that was the clicking point.
Are you going to think about this?
I'm sure I will.
Absolutely.
I understand what you're saying, but but that's not it's not for me
OK, I know that. That's why I'm talking to you.
I spent a lot for you to come here and talk to me and other people here, so yeah, I'll think about it.
I'm not going to lie, you blew my brain, which is not in a weird way, but, huh?
Could you explain what you mean by that?
You made **** real?
You got a repent and trust in Christ.
When are you going to do that?
I can't honestly answer that question. I don't know.
Well, I can help you. I'd say do it today.
I mean, if you die in your sense, I might.
There's two things you have to do to be saved.
You've got to repent and trust alone in Jesus.
When are you going to do that?
You don't have to wait till tomorrow because it may not come.
You could die tonight and you sleep. We're talking serious stuff.
And you don't have to do it in church. God dwells everywhere just in the quietness of your heart.
Say, God, please forgive my sins. Be truly contrite or sorry for your sins.
and put your faith in Jesus like you trust to perish you you know when you
jump out of a plane and trust to perish you don't trust your own arms you don't
try and fly you only trust the parachute and the Bible says put on the Lord
Jesus Christ trust alone in Him does that make sense yeah it does
You don't know when you're gonna die, 150,000 people die every 24 hours and I'm saying there is a sense of urgency here.
Would you be embarrassed if I pray with you?
No.
While respected Bible scholars may disagree on the timing of some of these signs,
they all agree on one thing, that Jesus Christ is coming again.
We didn't produce Noah to entertain you.
We produced it in the sincere hope that you obey the gospel,
that you repent of your sins, and trust alone in Jesus Christ.
So we'll see you in Heaven.
is filled with violence through them and every living thing that I have made,
I will blood out from the face of the ground.
But I will establish my covenant with you.
Make yourself an ark.
And this is how you shall make it.
The length of the ark is shall make it.
Go into the ark, you and your whole family, because I have found you righteous.
