>>> COMING UP, A SPECIAL EDITION OF YOUR QUESTIONS,
HONEST ANSWERS. PAT WEIGHS IN ON THE SPIRITUAL,
PERSONAL, AND POLITICAL ISSUES THAT MATTER TO YOU.
IS ARMAGEDDON AROUND THE CORNER? IS THERE A RIGHT PATH TO
SALVATION? WHAT IS THE DEAL WITH DINOSAURS?
STAY TUNED FOR A SHOW FILLED WITH YOUR VOICEMAILS.
HERE WHAT PAT HAS TO SAY ABOUT WHAT YOU WANT TO KNOW ON
TODAY'S 700 CLUB. >>> WELCOME TO THE 700 CLUB . A
WIN-WIN. THAT IS HOW PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP DESCRIBES HIS
MIDDLE EAST PEACE PLAN, HE CALLS IT THE DEAL OF THE
CENTURY. PALESTINIAN PRESIDENT CALLS IT
THE SLAP OF THE CENTURY. SO, DEAL OR NO DEAL?
>> Reporter: WITH PRIME MINISTER BENJAMIN NETANYAHU AT
HIS SIDE, PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP PRESENTED A PLAN THAT HE
BELIEVES WILL SUCCEED WHERE SO MANY OTHERS HAVE FAILED.
>> MY VISION PRESENTS A WIN-WIN OPPORTUNITY FOR BOTH SIDES, A
REALISTIC TWO STATE SOLUTION THAT RESOLVES THE RISK OF
PALESTINIAN STATEHOOD TO ISRAEL 'S SECURITY.
TODAY, ISRAEL HAS TAKEN A GIANT STEP TOWARD PEACE.
>> Reporter: NETANYAHU PRAISED PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP'S PLANUS
HISTORY IN THE MAKING. >> ON THIS DAY, YOU TOO HAVE
CHARTED A BRILLIANT FUTURE FOR ISRAELI'S, PALESTINIANS, AND
THE REGION BY PRESENTING A REALISTIC PATH TO ENDURABLE
PEACE. >> Reporter: THE PLAN CALLS FOR
JERUSALEM TO REMAIN ISRAEL'S UNDIVIDED CAPITAL.
IT CALLS FOR ISRAELI SOVEREIGNTY OVER THE JORDAN
VALLEY AND JEWISH COMMUNITIES IN JUDEA AND SAMARIA.
IT CALLS FOR A PALESTINIAN STATE BUT ONLY A PALESTINIANS
RECOGNIZE ISRAEL AS A JEWISH STATE, RENOUNCE TERRORISM, AND
STOP PAYING CONVICTED TERRORISTS.
FOR THE FIRST TIME, TRUMP'S PEACE PLAN INCLUDES A MAP
SHOWING WHAT A FUTURE PALESTINIAN STATE WOULD LOOK
LIKE. HERE ON THE GROUND,
PALESTINIANS RIOTED WHILE ISRAELI TROOPS REMAIN ON HIGH
ALERT. PALESTINIAN PRESIDENT IMMEDIATELY REJECTED IT,
CALLING IT THE SLAP OF THE CENTURY.
>> AFTER THE NONSENSE THAT WE HAVE HEARD TODAY, WE SAY 1000
TIMES NO, NO, NO TO THE DEAL OF THE CENTURY.
>> Reporter: SOME NATIONS SURROUNDING ISRAEL LIKE EGYPT
AND SAUDI ARABIA HAVE ISSUED POSITIVE STATEMENTS ABOUT THE
PLAN. MIDDLE EAST EXPERT JOEL
ROSENBERG, WHO HAS MET MANY OF THESE LEADERS, BELIEVES THEY
MAY CHART THEIR OWN COURSE. >> I HAVE HAD CONVERSATIONS
WITH A LOT OF THESE FOLKS. THIS IS A QUESTION, SHOULD WE
START MOVING TOWARD FULL PEACE WITH ISRAEL EVEN BEFORE THE
PALESTINIANS ISSUE A RESOLVE THE WAY EGYPT DID IN 1979, THE
WAY JORDAN DID IN 1994? >> Reporter: ISRAELI PRIME
MINISTER NETANYAHU FACES MAJOR LEGAL AND POLITICAL CHALLENGES.
POLITICALLY, MANY OF HIS KEY SUPPORTERS OPPOSE THIS PLAN AND
LEGALLY, ISRAEL'S ATTORNEY GENERAL OFFICIALLY INDICTED
NETANYAHU ON THREE SEPARATE COUNTS.
ALL THIS HAPPENED JUST WEEKS BEFORE THE ISRAELI NATIONAL
ELECTIONS ON MARCH 2. CHRIS MITCHELL, CBN NEWS, JERUSALEM.
>>> I THINK THE PRESIDENT HAS COME UP WITH SOMETHING.
EVERYONE HAS BEEN TALKING ABOUT IT.
IF THE OTHER ARAB NATIONS AS WE HAVE HAD ENOUGH OF THIS, THESE
PALESTINIANS ARE JUST WHISTLING IN THE GRAVEYARD, WE ARE NOT
GOING TO LET THEM DESTROY OUR PEACE OF OUR NATION BECAUSE OF
THIS GROUP. THE PALESTINIAN AUTHORITY IS
RUN BY A RADICAL GROUP. LET'S FACE IT.
THOSE WHO HAVE TAKEN OVER -- THEY ARE NOT GOING TO MAKE
PEACE WITH ISRAEL, EVER. THEY ARE DEDICATED TO THE
DESTRUCTION OF ISRAEL. THE PALESTINIANS HAVE GOT TO
GIVE THAT UP. THEY ACKNOWLEDGE THE EXISTENCE
OF A JEWISH STATE AS A PERMANENT PART OF THE MIDDLE
EAST. UNTIL THEY DO, THEY WON'T HAVE
PEACE. IN OTHER NEWS, HOW LONG WILL
THE IMPEACHMENT TRIAL DRAG ON? >>> REPUBLICANS HAVE HOPED TO
WRAP UP THE IMPEACHMENT TRIAL BUT NOW IT IS IN QUESTION.
>> Reporter: EIGHT AFTER PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP'S
DEFENSE TEAM FINISHED ITS ARGUMENTS, REPUBLICAN SENATORS
ARE WAVERING ON CALLING MORE WITNESSES, POTENTIALLY MAKING
THE TRIAL LAST LONGER. ABIGAIL ROBERTSON HAS THE
LATEST FROM CAPITOL HILL. >> Reporter: PRESIDENT DONALD
TRUMP'S DEFENSE TEAM SPENT ALMOST 10 HOURS ARGUING THIS IS
A PARTISAN IMPEACHMENT AND ISSUED AN OMINOUS WARNING TO
THE SENATORS WHO WILL DECIDE TRUMP'S FATE.
>> DANGER, DANGER, DANGER. THESE ARTICLES MUST BE REJECTED.
>> Reporter: DEMOCRATS CLAIM THE DEFENSE IS WEAK AND BELIEVE
THERE ARE CRACKS IN THE REPUBLICAN PARTY.
>> I THINK A NUMBER OF MY REPUBLICAN COLLEAGUES ARE
SEARCHING THEIR SOULS. I KNOW OF A COUPLE WHO ARE VERY CLOSE
TO SAYING THEY WANT WITNESSES. CERTAINLY, JOHN BOLTON IS THE
ONE WHO SHOULD TESTIFY. >> Reporter: MAJORITY LEADER
MITCH McCONNELL REPORTEDLY TOLD REPUBLICANS HE DID NOT HAVE THE
VOTE TO BLOCK WITNESSES. WHILE SENATOR LINDSEY GRAHAM
CAUTIONED DEMOCRATS IF WITNESSES ARE CALLED, THE
FLOODGATES WILL OPEN. >> IF PEOPLE WANT WITNESSES, WE
ARE GOING TO GET A LOT OF WITNESSES.
THERE WILL BE 51 REPUBLICAN VOTES CALLING HUNTER BIDEN, JOE
BIDEN, THE WHISTLEBLOWER, AND THE DNC STAFFER AT A VERY
MINIMUM. >> Reporter: IN NEW JERSEY,
SUPPORTERS STARTED LINING UP SUNDAY FOR PRESIDENT DONALD
TRUMP'S TUESDAY NIGHT RALLY THAT DREW TENS OF THOUSANDS.
>> WE ARE CREATING JOBS AND KILLING TERRORISTS. THE
CONGRESSIONAL DEMOCRATS ARE OBSESSED WITH DEMENTED HOAXES,
CRAZY WITCHHUNTS, AND DERANGED PARTISAN CRUSADES.
>> Reporter: SENATORS WILL SUBMIT WRITTEN QUESTIONS TO THE
DEFENSE AND PROSECUTION OVER THE NEXT TWO DAYS, BEGINNING
TODAY. WHEN THAT ENDS, THE SENATE WILL
MOVE ONTO THE CONTENTIOUS VOTE OVER WHETHER TO CALL WITNESSES.
REPORTING FROM CAPITOL HILL, ABIGAIL ROBERTSON, CBN NEWS.
>> THANK YOU. >>> I WANT TO SAY SOMETHING.
IN A TRIAL, HERE IS THE WAY IT WORKS.
YOU HAVE THE WITNESSES. YOU HAVE THE CROSS-EXAMINATION.
YOU HAVE THE FACT. YOU HAVE THE POLICE. YOU HAVE
THE FBI. YOU HAVE WHOEVER BRINGS YOU THE
EVIDENCE. YOU DELIBERATE THE EVIDENCE
BEFORE A JURY AND A JUDGE AND THEN ON THE STRENGTH OF THAT,
THERE IS A DECISION. EITHER THERE IS AN EXONERATION
OR A CONVICTION. THE LAWYERS FOR THE DEFENSE CAN
THEN GO AND ASK FOR AN APPEAL. THEY HAVE AN APPEAL AND THE
APPEAL GOES TO AN APPELLATE COURT.
THE APPELLATE COURT THEN HAS THE RECORD.
THEY DO NOT CALL WITNESSES. THEY DO NOT RELITIGATE THE
CASE. THEY TAKE THE RECORD.
THEY TAKE THE JUDICIAL CHARGE TO THE JURY.
THEY TAKE ALL OF THE FACT'S TO SEE IF IT WAS IN ACCORDANCE
WITH THE LAW. THE VERDICT IS UPHELD BY THE LAW
ANYPLACE WHETHER THERE WAS A VIOLATION OF THE LAW.
IF THERE WAS A VIOLATION OF THE LAW THEN THEY REMAND IT BACK FOR
A RETRIAL OR WHAT HAVE YOU. EITHER THAT OR THEY AFFIRM IT
BUT THAT IS WHAT WE ARE LOOKING AT.
THE SENATE IS ACTING AS AN APPELLATE COURT. THE IDEA THAT
YOU'VE GOT TO BRING IN NEW WITNESSES IS JUST NONSENSE.
THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO CONSIDER THE RECORD THAT HAS BEEN
BROUGHT TO THEM BY THE DEMOCRATS WHO HAVE IMPEACHED
THE PRESIDENT AND NOW IT COMES TO THE SENATE TO DECIDE IF IT
WAS LEGITIMATE. THE PEOPLE HAVE ARGUED -- THE
PART OF THE DEFENSE AND THOSE ON THE PART OF THE PROSECUTION,
THEY HAVE HAD HOURS AND HOURS TO DEBATE WHAT IT IS.
THEY DON'T NEED FURTHER WITNESSES.
YOU DON'T OPEN A TRIAL AGAIN IN ANY KIND OF A CASE. IN A
CRIMINAL CASE YOU DON'T REOPEN THE TRIAL IN THE APPELLATE
DIVISION. THE RECORD STANDS IN THE
DECISION IS BASED ON THE RECORD.
THE DEMOCRATS HAD ALL THE TIME THEY NEEDED TO GET A RECORD
TOGETHER BUT THEY WERE IN SUCH A RUSH.
THEY SAID THE FATE OF OUR NATION IS DEPENDENT ON US
INDICTING THE PRESIDENT. HAVING INDICTED HIM, THEY SAID
WE ARE SORRY. WE HAVE TO WAIT AND SEE HOW THE
SENATE WILL HANDLE THIS BEFORE WE SEND THE ARTICLES OF
IMPEACHMENT. THE WHOLE THING IS A SHAM AND A
JOKE. I WANT TO SAY AGAIN THAT IN AN
APPELLATE TRIAL OF A NORMAL TRIAL, THE APPELLATE COURT DOES
NOT TAKE WITNESSES. IT DOES NOT REOPEN THE CASE FOR
FACT. IT DECIDES ON THE BASIS OF THE RECORD PRESENTED TO IT.
THAT IS WHAT WE ARE DEALING WITH HERE.
ALL OF THIS CALL FOR WITNESSES, THIS IS NOT THE KIND OF A TRIAL.
I THINK THE SENATE IS SUPPOSED TO ACT AS AN APPELLATE COURT.
JAY AND HIS TEAM ARE MAKING ONE ARGUMENT.
ADAM SCHIFF IS MAKING ANOTHER ARGUMENT.
THEN THEY ARE GOING TO HAVE QUESTIONS BACK AND FORTH.
THE APPELLATE COURT WILL ASK QUESTIONS, WHICH THEY DO IN A
PROCEEDING WHETHER IT IS BEFORE THE SUPREME COURT OR AN
APPELLATE COURT. THE JUDGES CAN ASK THE LITIGANTS
ABOUT WHAT THIS IS AND HOW DO YOU AGREE WITH THAT AND THEY
TALK BACK AND FORTH. THEY CERTAINLY DO IN THE
SUPREME COURT. HAVING DONE SO, THEY DELIBERATE
BUT THEY DO NOT CALL WITNESSES. ALL THIS TALK ABOUT BEING FAIR
YOU GOT TO HAVE WITNESSES, THAT IS NONSENSE.
THAT IS NOT THE WAY WE DO IT. I JUST WANT TO POINT THAT OUT.
I HEARD AN ANNOUNCER ON THE RADIO WHO DID NOT KNOW WHAT HE
WAS TALKING ABOUT. >>> RESIDENCE IN THE CARIBBEAN
ISLANDS ARE BREATHING A SIGH OF RELIEF AFTER A LARGE EARTHQUAKE
SHOOK THE REGION TUESDAY THOUGH IT DID LITTLE DAMAGE.
THE 7.7 TREMOR HIT A SHALLOW DEPTH BETWEEN CUBA AND JAMAICA,
SHAKING FELT MORE THAN 400 MILES AWAY.
PEOPLE IN MIAMI FLED FROM BUILDINGS AND INTO THE STREETS.
>> THE ALARM STARTED SOUNDING. >> WE THOUGHT IT WAS A BOMBING.
WE THOUGHT IT WAS A SHOOTING. >> AND JAMAICA, CHILDREN WERE
FORCED TO EVACUATE THEIR SCHOOLSWILL WATER BURST OUT OF
CONTAINMENT SYSTEMS AND ROCK POOLS AND RESORTS OF GRAND
CAYMAN. THANKFULLY, NO INJURIES AND NO
TSUNAMI. >>> TUESDAY'S EVENT FOLLOWS A
SERIES OF QUAKES THAT HIT PUERTO RICO LAST MONTH WHICH
SITS ALONG THE SAME SET OF TECTONIC PLATES.
>> JUST A QUICK COMMENT. A 7.7 EARTHQUAKE IS A MONSTER.
IT IS HUGE. THEY GO UP GEOMETRICALLY WHEN
THEY GO FROM 6 TO 7. IT IS NOT JUST ONE TIME UP.
IT IS LIKE THREE TIMES THE STRENGTH.
A 7.4 IS A MONSTER EARTHQUAKE WHICH MEANS THE TECTONIC PLATES
UNDER THIS PART OF THE WORLD ARE SHAKING VERY BADLY.
YOU HAVE THE NORTH AMERICAN PLATES.
YOU HAVE THE PACIFIC PLATE. IT LOOKS LIKE THE WHOLE EARTH IS
SHAKING. IT IS A VERY SERIOUS THING.
>> IF IT IS SO HUGE, WHY WASN'T THERE A TSUNAMI THEN?
>> APPARENTLY IT DID NOT HIT ENOUGH OF THE OCEAN TO CAUSE
ONE. >> IT WASN'T CLOSE ENOUGH TO
LAND. >> THE TSUNAMI COMES WHEN IT IS
UNDERGROUND LIKE WE HAD OVER THERE IN INDONESIA JUST A
LITTLE WHILE AGO. THAT WAS A HUGE TSUNAMI.
THE EARTHQUAKE TOOK PLACE IN THE OCEAN.
I AM NOT SURE EXACTLY WHERE THE TSUNAMI COMES FROM BUT THE ONE
WE NEED TO KEEP OUR EYES ON IS THE CASCADIA'S IN NORTH AMERICA
. THAT IS A MAJOR, MAJOR FAULT. PEOPLE HAVE BEEN LOOKING.
THEY HAVE HAD SOME PROPHETIC WORDS THAT SOMETHING SERIOUS
WILL HAPPEN. THAT IS THE TSUNAMI THAT COMES
ABOUT. I DON'T KNOW IF IT IS THE DEPTH
OF THE WATER WHERE IT HAPPENS OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
>> YOU WOULD THINK IT WOULD BE BECAUSE IT WAS CLOSE TO THE
LANDMASS BUT I DON'T KNOW EITHER.
>> THE WATER HAS TO HAVE THE DEPTH BUT I AM NOT AN EXPERT ON
THAT. ALL I KNOW IS 7.7 IS A MONSTER.
WE'VE GOT TO HELP THOSE POOR PEOPLE IN PUERTO RICO.
FORTUNATELY THIS DID NOT HURT THE CAYMANS OR DO MUCH DAMAGE
IN CUBA BUT I GUESS IT WAS NOT DEEP ENOUGH TO BRING FORTH A
SUNOL ME. >>> MORE THAN 200 AMERICANS ARE
ON THEIR WAY HOME FROM CHINA, THE EPICENTER OF THE
CORONAVIRUS OUTBREAK. THE PLANE CHARTERED BY THE
UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT STOPPED IN ANCHORAGE, ALASKA
WHERE PASSENGERS UNDERWENT A MEDICAL SCREENING BEFORE
PASSING THROUGH MIGRATION AND REPORTING THE PLANE.
THE CDC REPORTEDLY PLANS TO TEMPORARILY HOUSE THEM AFTER
THEIR ARRIVAL AT AN AIR RESERVE BASE IN RIVERSIDE, CALIFORNIA.
MORE THAN 130 PEOPLE HAVE DIED FROM THE CORONAVIRUS.
NEARLY 6000 INFECTIONS REPORTED WORLDWIDE.
THERE ARE FIVE RECORDED CASES IN THE UNITED STATES AND
AUTHORITIES ARE TESTING 100 PATIENTS FOR THE VIRUS. AN
EMOTIONAL HIGH FOR THE PASSENGERS ON THE PLANE.
THE ENTIRE FLIGHT ERUPTED INTO CHEERS WHEN THEY WERE WELCOMED
BACK HOME. >> IT IS WONDERFUL.
AS WAS SAID ON THE LAST PROGRAM, INFLUENZA HAS KILLED A
WHOLE LOT MORE PEOPLE THAN CORONAVIRUS AND WE DON'T MAKE
THAT BIG OF THING. THIS THING IS GOING TO DEVASTATE
THE ECONOMIC ASPECT OF CHINA. THEY ARE HAVING TO SHUT DOWN
TOURISM. THEY ARE SHUTTING DOWN A LOT OF
WELL-KNOWN INDUSTRIES. PEOPLE ARE OUT OF WORK.
THEY HAVE PUT CRIME TEAMS RUN VARIOUS PORTIONS OF THE
COUNTRY. IT IS GOING TO HURT THEM.
ECONOMICALLY, THE EFFECTS OF THE CORONAVIRUS ARE MUCH MORE
SERIOUS THAN THE ACTUAL NUMBERS OF PEOPLE WHO CATCH IT.
>>> UP NEXT, YOU CALLED AND PAT IS ABOUT TO ANSWER YOUR
VOICEMAIL QUESTIONS. A SPECIAL EDITION OF YOUR
QUESTIONS, HONEST ANSWERS IS COMING UP.
>>> A FEW WEEKS AGO WE HAD A LOT OF FUN WITH PEOPLE WHO GAVE
QUESTIONS. WE HAD SOME Q&A.
WE'VE GOT THAT AGAIN. >> WE ARE GOING TO DO IT AGAIN.
I THINK THE VIEWERS LOVE TO. LET'S START WITH OUR FIRST
CALLER. HIS NAME IS BRIAN FROM LAGUNA
BEACH, CALIFORNIA. GO AHEAD, BRIAN.
>> MY QUESTION IS HOW CLOSE DOES PAT THINK WE ARE TO THE
WAR BETWEEN RUSSIA AND ISRAEL? >> THAT EZEKIEL 37 AND 38 IS A
GROUP THAT INCLUDES PERSIA AS IRAN.
IT INCLUDES TURKEY. IT INCLUDES SOME OF THE PEOPLE
DOWN IN THE SUDAN WHICH ARE INVOLVED.
IT IS A MONSTROUS GROUP OF PEOPLE COMING AGAINST ISRAEL IN
THE LATTER DAYS. GOD SAID HE WILL DEFEND ISRAEL.
WHO KNOWS WHEN THINGS LIKE THIS WILL HAPPEN. I HATE TO
PONTIFICATE ON IT BUT I REALLY DON'T THINK WE ARE QUITE THERE
YET. I THINK THERE ARE A FEW THINGS
LEFT TO GO. IT IS A QUESTION.
THE BIBLE SAYS SEEK HUMILITY. SEEK RIGHTEOUSNESS.
BAD THINGS ARE GETTING READY TO HAPPEN IN THIS WORLD.
I DON'T THINK THAT WORRY IS YET COMING UP.
THAT ARMADA THAT COMES AGAINST ISRAEL WHEN GOD HIMSELF STANDS
UP. >> AMEN. HERE IS GAIL FROM
WICHITA, KANSAS. >> I AM ASKING, IS IT ARROGANT
TO PRAY AND TELL GOD YOU WILL HEAL THIS PERSON OR SHOULD WE
PRAY LORD, IF IT IS YOUR WILL? >> IT SOUNDS SO BEAUTIFULLY
SPIRITUAL BUT IT IS A FAITH KILLER.
GOD, WOULD YOU HEAL MY DEAR SISTER IF IT BE THY WILL?
THE MINUTE YOU SAY THAT, YOU AUTOMATICALLY PUT THE BURDEN ON
GOD. IF IT DOES NOT GET HEALED IT IS
HIS FAULT NOT YOURS. YOU REALLY NEED TO ASK GOD WHAT
DO YOU WANT TO DO? HAVING FOUND THAT, YOU THEN
SPEAK THE WORD. IN THE NAME OF JESUS, YOU
DECLARE IT. HIS WORD IN YOUR MOUTH HAS THE SAME POWER AS HIS
WORD IN HIS MOUTH. YOU SPEAK IT FORTH.
>> HERE IS MATT FROM WEATHERFORD, TEXAS.
>> HELLO, PAT. THIS IS MATT FROM TEXAS.
MY QUESTION IS, I WAS ADOPTED WHEN I WAS A CHILD. WHEN I GO
TO HEAVEN, WILL I KNOW MY BIRTH PARENTS?
>> HE IS ADOPTED. I GUESS HE HAS NEVER MET HIS
PARENTS. >> THERE ARE GOING TO BE
GLORIOUS REUNIONS IN HEAVEN. YES WE WILL KNOW OUR LOVED ONES
AND WHAT I HAVE HEARD FROM SOME OF THE REPORTS FROM PEOPLE WHO
HAVE ASCENDED -- THEY MEET LITTLE CHILDREN WHO HAVE BEEN
MISCARRIED AND THAT KIND OF THING.
THEY HAVE REACHED FULL AGE. ALL I CAN TELL YOU IS HEAVEN
WILL BE A PLACE OF GLORIOUS REUNIONS.
I THINK THERE WILL BE LOVE AND THERE WILL BE NO TEARS, NO
SORROW. THE FORMER THINGS WILL BE
FORGOTTEN AND ALL WILL BE NEW. >> I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE MY
GRANDFATHER AGAIN. HE WAS THE SHERIFF MINGO
COUNTY, WEST VIRGINIA FOR EIGHT YEARS AND I JUST PICTURE HIM IN
HEAVEN WEARING HIS BIG CAT. >> THAT SOUNDS LIKE SOMETHING
OUT OF A WESTERN, MINGO COUNTY. >> HE LOVED THE LORD.
>> HE WILL BE THERE WAITING FOR YOU.
>> LET'S GO TO JIM FROM SANTA BARBARA, CALIFORNIA.
>> MY NAME IS JIM. I HAVE A CATHOLIC LADY FRIEND
THAT KEEPS TELLING ME JESUS WAS CRUCIFIED BY THE JEWS.
I HAVE TOLD HER JESUS WAS CRUCIFIED BY ROMAN SOLDIERS.
WOULD YOU PLEASE CLEAR THIS UP FOR US?
>> HE WAS CLEARLY CRUCIFIED BY ROMAN SOLDIERS BUT HE WAS
TURNED OVER TO THE ROMAN SOLDIERS BY THE JEWISH LEADERS.
REMEMBER, THEY CAME BEFORE CHRIST AND THEY SAID IF YOU
DON'T CRUCIFY HIM YOU ARE NO FRIEND OF CAESARS.
HE WASHED HIS HANDS AND SAID HIS BLOOD WILL BE ON YOUR HAND.
THE JEWISH PEOPLE WANT TO SAY REALLY IT WAS THE ROMANS THAT
DID IT. WE DID NOT HAVE ANYTHING TO DO
WITH IT BUT THAT IS NOT TRUE. THE JEWISH LEADERSHIP, TURNED
JESUS OVER TO THE ROMANS. THEY SAID WE CAN'T CRUCIFY
ANYBODY SO YOU DO IT. THEY WERE BOTH IMPLICATED IN
HIS DEATH. >> HERE IS ONE FROM SAN
ANTONIO, FLORIDA. >> THIS IS AN EXCITING SEGMENT
THAT YOU ARE DOING! MY NAME IS PAT AND I WOULD LIKE
TO KNOW WHERE IN THE BIBLE DOES IT SAY BIBLE ONLY, NO
TRADITION, JUST BIBLE ONLY. WE CAN ONLY GO BY WHAT IS IN
THE BIBLE? WHERE THE BIBLE DOES IT SAY THAT?
>> IT IS ALL SCRIPTURE. BREATHE BY GOD. IT IS USEFUL
FOR INSTRUCTION. I DON'T KNOW THAT IT SAYS ONLY THE
SCRIPTURE. I DON'T KNOW WHERE IT SAYS
THAT. IF IT DOES, I DON'T KNOW THAT.
>> I AM NOT FAMILIAR WITH THAT. I THINK PAUL, HE IS TRYING TO
TELL PEOPLE HOW TO BEHAVE. EVEN PAUL, WHO WAS ONE OF THE
APOSTLES SAID HE THINKS HE BETS THE BIBLE.
>> LET'S GO TO ALABAMA. THIS IS DONNA.
>> MY HUSBAND SECRETLY DIVORCED ME. HE IS A RELIGIOUS TYPE
CHRISTIAN. WHAT DO I DO IN THIS SITUATION?
I AM STILL LIVING IN MY HOUSE. >> SHE SAID HER HUSBAND
SECRETLY DIVORCED HER AND SHE IS STILL IN THE HOUSE.
I DON'T KNOW IF HE IS STILL LIVING IN THE HOUSE.
>> IF THE UNBELIEVING SPOUSE WANTS TO DEPART, LET THEM
DEPART. IF YOUR HUSBAND HAS DEPARTED,
IF HE HAS DIVORCED YOU SECRETLY OR IF HE HAS DIVORCED YOU
OPENLY, HE HAS ABANDONED YOU AND YOU ARE NOT BOUND, UNLESS
YOU WANT TO BE. APPARENTLY YOU DON'T WANT TO
BE. YOU ARE FREE IN THE LORD TO
REMARRY AND TO LIVE YOUR LIFE. I DON'T UNDERSTAND THE SECRET
DIVORCE. YOU CAN CHECK THE COURTHOUSE
RECORDS. YOU DON'T DIVORCE SOMEBODY'S
SECRETLY. >> YOU STILL HAVE TO SIGN,
RIGHT? >> NOT NECESSARILY.
I SUSPECT YOU CAN GET A DIVORCE WITHOUT THE OTHER PARTY BUT
THERE IS STILL A DEGREE. SOMEBODY HAS GOT TO TO CREATE.
GO TO THE COURTHOUSE WHERE YOU LIVE AND SEE IF YOU CAN GET THE
RECORD. >> HERE IS ONE FROM MICHAEL
FROM PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA.
>> MY NAME IS MICHAEL. I WAS WONDERING WHERE THE
DINOSAURS FIT INTO WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS. WE KNOW THAT THERE
ARE DINOSAURS AND WE ARE NOT SURE IN OUR FAMILY WHERE TO PUT
THE DINOSAURS WITH OUR BIBLE TEACHING.
>> HERE IS THE DEAL. WE FIGURE FROM ALL THE RECORDS
THAT ARE AVAILABLE TO US THAT THE UNIVERSE AS WE NOW KNOW IT
IS ABOUT 14 BILLION YEARS OLD. THAT IS A LONG TIME.
NOW, ABOUT 66 MILLION YEARS AGO , NORTH AMERICA WAS VERY LUSH
AND VERY TROPICAL. THE DAKOTAS AND MONTANA WERE LIKE THE
TROPICS. THE DINOSAURS, THESE CREATURES, FLOURISHED IN THE
MIDDLE OF ALL OF THAT. 66 MILLION YEARS AGO, THERE WAS A
HUGE ASTEROID THAT HIT SOMEWHERE AROUND THE YUCATC
I AM TALKING ABOUT A CUP OLIVE MILES IN DIAMETER.
THIS THING WAS A MONSTER. IT HIT INTO THE CARIBBEAN WHERE
IT MUST HAVE THROWN UP SO MUCH ASH THAT IT BROUGHT SORT OF A
NUCLEAR WINTER. THERE WAS A DARKNESS ALL OVER.
THE TEMPERATURE GOT QUITE COLD. THAT KILLED THE DINOSAURS.
THAT WAS 66 MILLION YEARS AGO. THERE COMES TIMES --
>> DO YOU THINK THEY AREN'T MENTIONED IN THE BIBLE BECAUSE
IT HAPPENED SO FAR BEFORE JESUS?
>> IT IS WAY BEFORE THE BIBLE EXPERIENCED.
THE RECORD OF THE BIBLE IS ABOUT 10,000 YEARS.
AT BEST, MANKIND, SAPIENS, THE KIND OF MAN THAT CAME OUT OF
ADAM AND EVE ARE CERTAINLY NO MORE THAN 50,000 YEARS AGO.
MAYBE 10,000 I MEAN. IT IS NOT VERY FAR.
THE DINOSAURS ARE WAY OUT OF THE BIBLICAL RECORD.
WE HAVE FOUND THE FOSSILS ARE INCREDIBLE.
>> GOOD THING WE DON'T HAVE TO LIVE WITH THE DINOSAURS TODAY.
>> THEY WERE HERE BUT THEY WERE EXTINCT.
>>> LET'S GO TO THIS CALLER FROM OHIO.
>> I WOULD LIKE TO ASK IF A CHURCH SHOULD ALLOW AN
UNMARRIED COUPLE TO BE A DEACON AND DEACONESS IF THEY ARE
LIVING TOGETHER OR SHOULD THEY NOT BE AROUND THE YOUTH OF THE
CHURCH? >> PAUL MENTIONED THIS.
HE SAID YOU ARE DOING STUFF THAT EVEN THE HEATHENS DON'T
LIKE. THEY HAVE MAN WHO IS LIVING
WITH HIS FATHER'S WIFE. THEY WERE PUTTING UP WITH THESE
SAYING YOU SHOULD DELIVER THAT PERSON TO SATAN FOR THE
DESTRUCTION OF HIS FLESH SO THAT HIS SOUL WOULD BE SAVED.
TWO PEOPLE LIVING TOGETHER, THE BIBLE CALLS IT FORNICATION.
FOR THEM TO BE DEACONS OF THE CHRCH, IT JUST SHOULDN'T BE.
CHURCHES ARE SO RELUCTANT TO CALL SIN SIN.
IT IS TIME THAT WE STAND UP AND -- YOU GET SO CRITICIZED IN
TODAY'S WORLD. IT IS AMAZING.
WE'VE GOT THE ME TOO MOVEMENT THAT SLAPS THE WRIST OF ANYBODY
THAT LOOKS ACROSS THE WAY AT THE OPPOSITE SEX.
AT THE SAME TIME, IF YOU PRESCRIBE SOMETHING LIKE THIS,
YOU ARE A BIG IT. I THINK IT IS TIME FOR THE
CHURCHES TO STAND UP AND SAY THAT THIS IS SIN.
WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT IS WRONG.
>> THEY SHOULD NOT BE A LEADER. >> CERTAINLY.
>>> COMING UP, WE WILL HAVE BROWN TWO OF OUR SPECIAL
EDITION OF YOUR QUESTIONS, HONEST ANSWERS.
>>> WELCOME BACK TO WASHINGTON. A FRANKLIN GRAHAM EVENT IN
BRITAIN THIS SUMMER HAS BEEN CANCELED BECAUSE OF HIS
BIBLICAL VIEWS ON SEXUALITY. EIGHT WIRE REPORTS OFFICIALS AT
THE LIVERPOOL LOCATION SAID GRAHAM'S EVENT WAS BEING
DROPPED BECAUSE OF HIS VIEW THAT MARRIAGE IS A UNION OF ONE
MAN AND ONE WOMAN. THE LIVERPOOL LABOR LGBT
NETWORK CALLED THE EVANGELIST A HOMOPHOBIC HATE PREACHER.
GRAHAM WROTE AN OPEN LETTER TO THE LGBTQ COMMUNITY IN THE UK
SAYING HE WAS NOT COMING TO CONDEMN THEM BUT TO PRESENT THE
GOSPEL. IT WAS NOT COMING OUT OF HATE
BUT OUT OF LOVE. >>> A TENNESSEE ALLOWS
RELIGIOUS-BASED ADOPTION AGENCIES THE RIGHT TO DENY
SERVICES TO ANYONE INCLUDING LGBTQ FAMILIES.
IT ALSO PROTECT THOSE AGENCIES FROM LAWSUITS OR OTHER FORMS OF
RETALIATION. A SPOKESPERSON SAID THE
GOVERNOR BELIEVES THAT PROTECTION OF RIGHTS IS
IMPORTANT ESPECIALLY RELIGIOUS LIBERTY.
LGBTQ ACTIVISTS HAVE LAUNCHED AN ONLINE PETITION CALLING FOR
THE LAW TO BE REPEALED. >>> YOU CAN ALWAYS GET THE
LATEST FROM CBN NEWS BY GOING TO OUR WEBSITE AT
WWW.CBNNEWS.COM. PAT AND WENDY WILL BE BACK WITH
MORE OF THE 700 CLUB RIGHT AFTER THIS.
>>> WELCOME BACK TO THE 700 CLUB . WE ARE HAVING A GREAT
TIME TAKING YOUR CALLS TODAY FOR A SPECIAL EDITION OF YOUR
QUESTIONS, HONEST ANSWERS. WE HAVE THIS CALL FROM LORRAINE
UP FROM DELAWARE. >> MY NAME IS LORRAINE A. I AM
CONCERNED ABOUT A 36 YEAR MARRIAGE TO MY HUSBAND WHO IS
NOT A CHRISTIAN WHO HAS BEEN DOING INFIDELITY FOR QUITE A
WHILE. OVER THE HOLIDAYS, THANKSGIVING
, ALL SUMMER, HE HAS BEEN GOING AWAY EVERY OTHER WEEKEND TO
SPEND THE WEEKEND WITH ANOTHER WOMAN.
WHAT SHOULD I DO? I AM SO BROKEN AND TORN.
HE HAS NO DESIRE TO BE WITH ME RIGHT NOW.
HE WANTS TO BE WITH THE OTHER WOMAN. I AM LOST AND HURT AND
DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. PLEASE HELP.
WHAT SHOULD I DO? >> I WAS HAVING A HARD TIME
HEARING. >> SHE HAS BEEN MARRIED 36
YEARS TO THIS MAN BUT EVERY WEEKEND HE IS GOING TO BE NOW
WITH ANOTHER WOMAN. ARENA IS HEARTBROKEN AND SHE
DOES NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO. SHE STILL LOVES HIM BUT HE IS
CLEARLY BREAKING THE MARRIAGE VOWS.
>> I HATE TO BE HARD-NOSED ON THESE THINGS BUT THE LORD SAID
TWO SHOULD BECOME ONE. THE BIBLE SAYS HE HATES DIVORCE
BECAUSE HE IS LOOKING FOR GODLY CHILDREN.
IF YOU BEEN MARRIED FOR NUMBER OF YEARS AND YOU WILL NOT HAVE
CHILDREN ANYMORE AND HE HAS DECIDED HE WANTS TO PARTY
AROUND WITH A BUNCH OF OTHER WOMEN, HE HAS BROKEN THE BOW.
YOU ARE FREE. I REALLY THINK THAT HE NEEDS TO
GET CALLED INTO ACCOUNT BECAUSE HE OWES YOU SOMETHING.
MEN JUST CAN'T START PLAYING AROUND WITH OTHER WOMEN AND
ABANDON THEIR WIFE AND CHILDREN OR WHAT HAVE YOU.
I THINK HE NEEDS TO PAY THE PRICE FOR IT.
YOU CAN GET A DEGREE OF SEPARATION IF YOU WANTED TO, A
LEGAL DEGREE. HE SHOULD BE CALLED UPON TO PAY
NECESSARY SUPPORT FOR HIS SPOUSE.
YOU ARE FREE IN TERMS OF THE BIBLE IF YOU WANT TO GET
DIVORCED. THAT IS THE PRIVILEGE. JESUS
HIMSELF SAID EXCEPT FOR THE CAUSE OF IMMORALITY.
YOU HAVE GROUNDS FOR DIVORCE. >> HIS THINGS WOULD BE OUT ON
THE SIDEWALK WHEN HE CAME BACK FROM THE WEEKEND IF IT WAS ME.
I WOULD BE GETTING A GOOD DIVORCE LAWYER.
>>> LET'S GO TO DYERSBURG, TENNESSEE FOR THIS CALL.
>> I JUST WANTED TO ASK. IS VIRGINIA'S GOVERNOR TRYING TO
TAKE WEAPONS AWAY FROM LAW- ABIDING CITIZENS?
I DON'T KNOW IF IT IS RUMOR OR WHETHER IT IS TRUE.
>> I TELL YOU. THE CITIZENS OF AURORA,
VIRGINIA HAVE BEEN UP IN ARMS ABOUT THIS THING.
THE LEGISLATURE HAS PASSED SOME KIND OF A GUN CONTROL BILL THAT
HAS JUST GOTTEN THE PEOPLE REALLY UPSET.
IT IS AMAZING. THE GOVERNOR IS THE ONE WHO
MADE THE INCREDIBLE PRONOUNCEMENT. SINCE HE IS A
PEDIATRICIAN, HE SAID IF IT IS A BOTCHED ABORTION AND THE BABY
IS STILL ALIVE, WE SHOULD KEEP HIM COMFORTABLE UNTIL WE DECIDE
WHAT TO DO WITH HIM. HE IS TALKING ABOUT INFANTICIDE
AND THAT DID NOT CAUSE NEAR THE BUS AS THIS GUN THING IS DOING.
>> IT WAS INTERESTING AT THE GUN RALLY THEY HAD LAST WEEK,
PEOPLE CAME FROM NEW YORK. THEY CAME FROM ALL OVER THE COUNTRY
TO SUPPORT VIRGINIA'S GUN OWNERS AND THEIR RIGHT.
IT WAS COMPLETELY PEACEFUL. THEY WERE EXPECTING IT TO BE
ALL CRAZY BECAUSE THEY ARE PEOPLE THAT LOVE GUNS BUT THAT
WAS NOT THE CASE. >> THE SECOND AMENDMENT IS VERY
CLEAR. A MILITIA IS ONE OF THE KEYS
FOR FREEDOM. WHENEVER A DICTATOR TAKES
CHARGE, THEY IMMEDIATELY TAKE THE FIREARMS AWAY FROM PEOPLE
AND LEAVE THEM HELPLESS. IF YOU DO NOT HAVE FIREARMS,
THAN A DICTATOR WHO HAS THE GUNS AND THE AMMUNITION AND HAS
THE MILITARY, CAN OPPRESS YOU. THE SECOND AMENDMENT IS
EXTREMELY IMPORTANT. THIS HAS TO DO WITH A MILITIA.
HAVING GUNS IS A VERY IMPORTANT THING.
THE PEOPLE ALL OF VIRGINIA ARE RISING UP AGAINST IT.
PEOPLE ARE COMING FROM ALL OVER THE COUNTRY BECAUSE THEY FEEL
THREATENED. THE SUPREME COURT HAS MADE IT
VERY CLEAR THAT THE SECOND AMENDMENT RIGHTS SHOULD NOT BE
INFRINGED. >> HERE IS A CALLER FROM CANADA
FROM NEW BRUNSWICK. >> CAN YOU EXPLAIN LOVE COVERS
A MULTITUDE OF SIN? THANK YOU.
>> WELL, IT IS SO CLEAR THAT IF YOU LOVE, THAT IS THE ESSENTIAL
THING. LOVE GOD WITH ALL OF YOUR HEART
AND YOUR SOUL. IF YOU LOVE -- PAUL WAS SAYING
THOUGH I SPEAK WITH A MAN BUT HAVE NOT YET LOVED, I DO MY
BEST TO FEED THE POOR WHO DON'T HAVE LOVE.
LOVE IS SO IMPORTANT. IT IS THE HEART OF WHAT WE HAVE. WE LOVE
GOD. WE LOVE OUR FELLOW MAN.
WE LOVE OUR NEIGHBORS AND OURSELVES.
WHAT COVERS A MULTITUDE OF SINS , FAITH IS WHAT GOD WANTS.
WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? IT MEANS THAT OFFENSES ALONG
THE WAY. >> DOES IT MEAN THAT GOD WILL
TURN AWAY HIS WRATH BECAUSE OF HIS LOVE FOR US?
>> HIS LOVE IS MORE IMPORTANT BECAUSE GOD IS LOVE.
HE IS NOT LOVING, HE IS LOVE ITSELF.
WE COME TO THE LORD AND JUST THE STATEMENT THAT IT COVERS A
MULTITUDE OF SINS, LITTLE THINGS YOU DO, LITTLE OFFENSES
AGAINST GOD, THEY ARE NOT NEARLY AS IMPORTANT ABOUT THE
FACT THAT IN YOUR HEART THERE IS LOVE.
>> HERE IS RICK FROM GRAND PRAIRIE, TEXAS.
>> MY NAME IS RICK AND MY QUESTION IS DO YOU BELIEVE WE
STILL NEED TO BE SHARING THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST WITH THE
JEWS SO THAT THEY MIGHT BE SAVED?
>> ABSOLUTELY. I AM SO THRILLED.
I HAD A CHANCE TO SPEAK TO SOME EVANGELICAL JEWISH PEOPLE AND
THEY WERE SO ON FIRE FOR GOD. IT IS JUST AMAZING WHAT GOD IS
DOING AMONG THE JEWISH PEOPLE. ISN'T THAT WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS
WILL HAPPEN? IT WILL BE LIFE FROM THE DEAD.
YOU SEE THE CONCEPT IS THAT WE ARE A BRANCH THAT HAS BEEN
GRAFTED INTO ISRAEL. WE DRAW FROM THE BRANCH THAT
COMES OUT OF ISRAEL WITH THE ARTICLES OF GOD.
WHEN GOD IS GOING TO REDEEM -- WHEN THE JEWS TOOK OVER
JERUSALEM, THE BIBLE SAID JERUSALEM SHOULD BE TRIED.
THE TIMES OF THE GENTILES ARE FULFILLED.
I BELIEVE WE ARE COMING TO THE TIMES WHEN THE BIBLE SAYS THE
JEWS COME BACK , IT WILL BE LIKE A RESURRECTION.
A NEW LIFE FOR THE DEAD. I BELIEVE THAT IS WHAT IS
HAPPENING. BY ALL MEANS, SHARE THE FAITH
BUT WHATEVER YOU DO, DON'T ACT LIKE YOU ARE SO SUPERIOR.
ACT AS YOU ARE HUMBLE. PAUL SAID I BECAME ALL THINGS
TO ALL MEN BUT HE BECAME SOME. ABSOLUTELY, WITNESS. THE JEWISH
PEOPLE ARE SO HUNGRY NOW IN MY OPINION.
THEY REALLY WANT TO COME BACK BECAUSE GOD IS STIRRING IN
THEIR HEART. >> SOMETIMES WE FORGET JESUS IS
JEWISH. >> OF COURSE.
THAT IS WHY I SAY MY BOSS IS A JEWISH RABBI.
>> HERE IS LINDA FROM NORTH CAROLINA.
>> THIS IS LINDA. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW THE
HISTORY BEHIND THE AGREEMENT THAT OBAMA SIGNED WITH IRAN
WHERE WE PAY THEM ALL THE BILLIONS OF DOLLARS AND WHAT
ALL OF THAT WAS FOR. >> GIVE ME THAT AGAIN.
>> CAN WE REPLAY THAT QUESTION PLEASE?
CONTROL ROOM? PAT AND I DID NOT GET THAT ONE.
>> THIS IS LINDA. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW THE
HISTORY BEHIND THE AGREEMENT THAT OBAMA SIGNED WITH IRAN
WHEN WE PAY THEM ALL OF THE BILLIONS OF DOLLARS AND WHAT
ALL OF THAT WAS FOR. >> THE HISTORY BEHIND THE
AGREEMENT? I THINK WITH IRAN WHERE WE PAID
THEM BILLIONS OF DOLLARS. >> THEY WERE TRYING TO SET UP A
DEAL WHERE IRAN WOULD GIVE US NUCLEAR WEAPONS. IN ORDER TO
GET THAT, THEY RELEASED A LOT OF MONEY THAT WAS BEING HELD IN
ESCROW THAT BELONGED TO THE IRANIAN PEOPLE. THEY GOT ALL
THE MONEY AND IT DID NOT DO A BIT OF GOOD.
THE IRANIANS DID NOT GIVE UP ANYTHING.
I THINK TRUMP RIGHTLY CAME IN AND SAID THIS NUCLEAR
ARRANGEMENT IS NOT GOOD AND I'M GOING TO GET OUT OF IT.
HE HAS TRIED TO GET THE EUROPEAN ALLIES TO JOIN BUT
THEY HAVE NOT JOINED. THAT IS WHAT IT IS ABOUT.
I THINK OBAMA WAS SUCKERED ON THAT ONE.
THE IRANIANS ARE PRETTY GOOD NEGOTIATORS.
THEY TOOK HIM FOR EVERYTHING THEY COULD GET AND STILL AS FAR
AS WE CAN SEE, THEY DID NOT DISMANTLE ANY OF THEIR NUCLEAR
MATERIAL. >> IT IS AMAZING THAT THAT'LL
HAPPEN. >>> STILL AHEAD, WE HAVE MORE
OF YOUR VOICEMAIL QUESTIONS. ROUND THREE OF YOUR QUESTIONS,
HONEST ANSWERS COMING UP NEXT. >>> WELCOME BACK TO A SPECIAL
EDITION OF YOUR QUESTIONS, HONEST ANSWERS.
WE ARE LOVING HEARING ALL OF YOUR AMAZING QUESTIONS AND PAT
'S ANSWERS. LET'S START WITH THIS ONE FROM
SANDRA FROM GLENDALE, TEXAS. >> THE QUESTION I HAVE IS CAN
YOU TELL ME SPECIFICALLY HOW TO PRAY WHEN ASKING GOD TO DELIVER
MY CHILDREN THAT ARE INVOLVED IN BAD RELATIONSHIPS THAT ARE
UNGODLY AND ALSO, ADDICTION? >> WE PRAY BUT WE PRAYED NOT
WHAT WE WANT BUT WHAT WILL GLORIFY GOD.
THESE CHILDREN ARE NOT GLORIFYING YOU, LORD.
YOU GAVE THEM TO ME AND I AM YOUR SERVANT AND NOW I HOLD
BEFORE YOU THESE CHILDREN. I WANT TO THEM TO GLORIFY YOU.
I WANT THEIR LIVES TO LIVE SO IT WILL GLORIFY YOU.
IN JESUS' NAME, I HOLD THEM BEFORE YOU AND I ASK YOU TO
DEAL WITH THEM. IF YOU DO THAT, GOD WILL HEAR
AND ANSWER YOUR PRAYER. SOME OF THAT THINGS THAT GOD
CAN DO SOMETIMES TO PUT SOME SERIOUS BURDEN ON KIDS THAT ARE
OUT MISBEHAVING, THE JUDGMENT OF THE LORD IS NOT ALWAYS FUN
BUT I THINK THAT IS WHAT YOU NEED TO DO.
THEY FEEL THERE IS NO CONSEQUENCE TO THE WAY THEY
HAVE BEEN LIVING. SOMETIMES YOU SAY LORD, DEAL
WITH THEM ACCORDING TO YOUR JUSTICE THAT THEY MIGHT SENSE
YOUR PRESENCE AND POWER. I WAS READING THE OTHER DAY IN
PROVERBS. THE UNGODLY WON'T LEARN WISDOM.
THEY WILL ONLY LEARN WISDOM WHEN THERE IS SOME PENALTY PUT
ON THEM. AS LONG AS THERE IS GRACE, THEY
WANT LEARN WISDOM. HOW DO YOU PRAY FOR YOUR
CHILDREN? THAT IS WHAT I SUGGEST.
>> HERE IS CATHERINE FROM ALABAMA.
>> THIS IS CATHERINE. I HAVE A QUESTION REGARDING A
CALLING ON MY LIFE. I KNOW I HAVE A CALLING AND I
DID NOT ANSWER GOD. TO MAKE A LONG STORY SHORT, NOW I WANT TO
ANSWER THAT CALL AND I AM IN A POSITION WHERE IT IS A
DIFFICULT THING WITH MY HEALTH. I AM ASKING WILL GOD STILL
ALLOW ME TO WORK FOR HIM? >> OF COURSE HE WILL.
THERE WAS A TIME WHERE THE PEOPLE WERE TOLD TO GO INTO THE
PROMISED LAND AND THEY WOULD NOT DO IT.
GOD SAID OKAY, NOW DO IT ON YOUR OWN.
THEY TRY TO GO IN AND THEY GOT BEATEN UP.
IN TERMS OF YOU AND YOUR LIFE, I DO BELIEVE GOD IS A GOD OF
SECOND CHANCES. YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A SECOND
CHANCE SO YOU COME TO THE LORD AND YOU CONFESS WHAT YOU HAVE
DONE WRONG. LORD, I AM SORRY.
I ASK YOU TO FORGIVE ME FOR THIS.
AT THE SAME TIME, OPEN TO ME THE DOOR OF OPPORTUNITY.
THEN, FOLLOW THE LEADING THAT HE GIVES YOU.
DON'T GO OFF ON YOUR OWN. LISTEN TO HIM.
THIS IS THE WAY -- THE BIBLE WILL SAY YOU WILL HEAR YOUR
VOICE WHEN YOU TURN THE RIGHT WAY.
LISTEN TO THE VOICE OF THE LORD AND THEN BEGAN TO PRAY.
YOU ARE PRAYING FOR YOUR LOVED ONES.
SHOW ME STEP-BY-STEP BY STEP WHAT I SHOULD DO.
>>> HERE IS NIKKI FROM CLEARWATER, FLORIDA.
>> MY NAME IS NIKKI. WHEN I WAS A KID GOING TO
CHURCH, WOMEN WORE HATS AND MEN NEVER DID.
NOWADAYS I SEE MEN WEARING HATS AND CAPS IN CHURCHES ON WORSHIP
TEAMS AND EVERYTHING. WHAT IS THE SCOOP ON THAT?
TELL ME ABOUT THAT, PLEASE. >> IN THE JEWISH TRADITION, THE
WOMEN WOULD COVER -- PAUL SAID YOU COVER YOUR SELF ON ACCOUNT
OF THE ANGELS. THE ANGELS WERE LOOKING DOWN ON
THE WOMEN AND THE LONGHAIR WAS A SYMBOL OF AUTHORITY. THE MAN
WAS THE HEAD OF THE WOMAN. YOU WILL SEE IN THE CATHOLIC
CHURCH FOR EXAMPLE, PEOPLE ALWAYS HAVE A VEIL OR A LITTLE
HAT ON. I DON'T THINK WE ARE UNDER THAT
RIGHT NOW AND PEOPLE ARE NOT WEARING HATS WITH -- I THINK
THE IDEA OF SOMEONE WANTING TO WEAR A HAT IN CHURCH, THAT IS
THEIR BUSINESS. >> UNLESS IT WILL HINDER YOUR
VIEW OF WHAT IS GOING ON ON STAGE.
>> THAT IS A WHOLE DIFFERENT MATTER.
I DON'T THINK WE ARE UNDER THAT PARTICULAR JEWISH TRADITION
WHERE A WOMAN HAD TO COVER HER HAIR.
PAUL TALKED ABOUT THE ANGELS AND IT IS A SYMBOL OF AUTHORITY.
>> YOU ALWAYS SEE MEN TAKE OFF THEIR HATS WHEN THEY COME INTO
CHURCHES AS RESPECT. IS THAT STILL --
>> AGAIN, JESUS IS SUPPOSED TO BE THE HEAD OF THE MAN.
A MAN SHOULD NOT GO INTO CHURCH COVERED.
IT IS BETWEEN HIM AND THE LORD BUT AGAIN, I DON'T THINK THE
CHRISTIAN CHURCH IS UNDER THOSE PARTICULAR STRUCTURES.
>> HERE IS ONE FROM JACK FROM KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI.
>> WE LOST OUR ADULT SON SUDDENLY IN DECEMBER.
MY WIFE WANTS TO KNOW IF HE IS LOOKING DOWN FROM HEAVEN TO SEE
OUR GRIEF? IT IS MY BELIEF THAT HE KNOWS OUR GRIEF.
I FEEL THERE IS SO MUCH JOY AND PEACE IN HEAVEN.
HE WILL BE FULL OF GOD'S LOVE KNOWING WE ARE IN HIS CARE.
THANK YOU. >> YOU KNOW, I DON'T BELIEVE
THAT GOD LETS PEOPLE IN HEAVEN LOOK DOWN AND SEE WHAT THEY ARE
STRUGGLING AND DOING ON EARTH. YOU CAN REST AND ASSURANCE. I
THINK IN HEAVEN IT WILL BE A DIFFERENT MATTER BUT I DON'T
KNOW ANYTHING IN THE BIBLE THAT INDICATES THAT THINK ABOUT
ABRAHAM AND THE RICH MAN AND THE BEGGAR.
THE RICH MAN, ONE OF THEM WOKE UP. HE SAID I'VE GOT RELATIVES.
THE QUESTION IS OUR LOVED ONES LOOKING DOWN ON US?
>> THANK YOU. >> LET'S GO BACK TO CONNIE FROM
ATLANTA, GEORGIA. >> GOOD MORNING.
I WANTED TO KNOW IN THE OLD TESTAMENT, HOW DID GOD RECEIVE
SALVATION BEFORE JESUS CHRIST DIED ON THE CROSS?
>> THE BIBLE SAYS AFTER HE ASCENDED, THERE WAS THREE DAYS.
HE WENT AND PREACHED THE GOSPEL TO THOSE IN THE TOMB. I THINK
THEY HEARD THE GOSPEL. EVERYBODY HAD A CHANCE.
I THINK THAT IS WHAT THE GOSPEL -- IT IS A LITTLE STRANGE THAT
YOU DON'T HAVE A LOT OF TEACHING IN THE BIBLE ABOUT
THAT. DURING THAT PERIOD OF TIME,
BETWEEN THE RESURRECTION AND THE CRUCIFIXION, JESUS WENT AND
PREACHED TO THOSE PRISONERS WHO WERE BEING HELD IN A STATE OF
LIMBO IN THE HADES REGION. >> HERE IS ONE FROM MISSOURI.
>> MY QUESTION IS, I HAVE NOT BEEN BAPTIZED.
I WANT TO KNOW, WELL I STILL GO TO HEAVEN IF I WERE TO DIE
BEFORE I GET BAPTIZED? >> THE APOSTLE PAUL SAID GOD
DID NOT SEND ME TO BAPTIZE BUT TO PREACH THE GOSPEL.
BY THE WAY, I DID BAPTIZE. THERE WAS A FAMILY OVER THERE.
HE SAID HE SENT ME TO POLICE THE GOSPEL.
POLICING THE GOSPEL IS THE WAY YOU GET SAVED, NOT BY BEING
BAPTIZED. THAT IS AN ACTIVE OBEDIENCE,
HAVING BEEN BAPTIZED. YOU ARE CLEANSED AND RAISED IN THE
NEWNESS OF LIFE. IT IS AN IMPORTANT ACT OF
OBEDIENCE BUT IT WILL NOT NECESSARILY ENGENDER YOUR
SALVATION. >> CAN YOU BE SPRINKLED OR CAN
YOU BE FULLY IMMERSED? >> I'M A BAPTIST AND WE GO ALL
THE WAY UNDER. >> ALL THE WAY.
>> SPRINKLING, DUNKING, HOWEVER.
I DON'T THINK THE MEANS IS SO IMPORTANT AS THE ACT OF HAVING
IT DONE. IT IS AN AN ACTIVE OBEDIENCE.
I APPRECIATE ALL OF THE QUESTIONS.
THIS HAS BEEN FUN. I HOPE WE CAN DO IT AGAIN.
>> I LOVE HEARING FROM PEOPLE ALL OVER THE COUNTRY.
WE REALLY APPRECIATE IT. >> TODAY'S POWER MINUTE IS YOUR
WORD IS A LAMP UNTO YOUR FEET AND A LIGHT TO MY PATH.
TOMORROW WE GO BEHIND THE SCENES OF THE UPCOMING SUPER BOWL LIV
WHERE THEY ARE PREPPING FOR THE BIG GAME.
YOU CAN SEE SOME INNER SPIRITUAL LIFE OF SOME OF THE
PLAYERS. >> GO CHIEFS!
>> THANK YOU SO MUCH. >>> TOMORROW, AN UPRISING IS
>>> TOMORROW, AN UPRISING IS UNDERWAY.
WHAT IS BEHIND THE BACKLASH AND WHY ARE THE NATION'S FARMERS
BEING MURDERED?
