Bring It On-Line: Is Christianity the real faith?

How do we know that Christianity is the real faith? How do we know that Islam or Buddhism may not be the real, true faith? How do we know that we are right and they are wrong? How can sinful man ever be perfect in our earthly bodies? Does this ... Read Transcript


Well it is time to bring it on and I believe you look--

Let's do it.

ready.

I'm with you.

Let's go for it.

Douglas says, "Pat, my wife of 25 years filed for divorce

and our 20-year-old daughter has blamed me.

My daughter moved out of the house when we talked to her

and told me to never contact her again.

I have tried to connect with her,

but I haven't heard from her in 6 months now.

She even ignored me on her birthday and over the holidays.

Should I try to contact her before I leave or should I

obey her wishes?

I missed her terribly and will probably be moving away soon."

Wife leaves husband.

That's the story.

Wife leaves husband.

They filed for divorce.

I dig it but the wife is the one who filed.

Yeah, she filed.

Yeah, the wife filed for divorce.

And so told the daughter-- who knows

what lies that woman told that daughter about her husband.

Who knows?

Oh, he was a child molester, he's addicted to porn,

he's a drug addict.

Who knows what.

And that girl's mind has been polluted.

But, folks, it is the most awful thing.

Don't ever do it.

The idea of a wife trying to, or a mother

trying to gain a child's affection by bad

mouthing the spouse.

Look, you need to present a unified front.

Husband and wife together.

And I remember one of my children say,

I love mommy and daddy.

And the idea is that somehow I have got to make a choice.

But that wife apparently polluted that daughter's mind.

How are you going to get her back?

Well perhaps she could have counseling.

Or maybe God himself will show her.

But all I could say to the guy who

asked the question is continue to love your daughter.

Continue to let her know you care about her.

And one of these they she will wake up and realize.

But you might ask her, what is it you think I did?

Please tell me.

Please tell me what it is you think I did

so I could explain it to you.

All right?

Yeah, that's good.

Thanks, Pat.

Well Murray says, "Is it okay to donate your body to science

after you die?

I have bad health problems and a kidney transplant

and feel my body would be useful to medical students.

What do you think?"

Well, absolutely.

Look, once you leave it, it's just an old shell.

Who needs it?

I mean, it's worth about $0.90 or something.

So sure you can donate your organs

to people-- I mean, to medical science for use as transplants

and so forth.

I think that's a very worthwhile thing to do.

There's nothing that I know of that's

unscripture or unchristian about it.

OK.

John says, "I know that there is all joy, happiness,

and peace in heaven.

My question is this: I've accepted Jesus

and expect to spend eternity with him.

A loved one has not accepted Jesus,

and I pray for him daily.

I hate the thought of spending eternity without him.

Does God wipe away our memory of loved ones

who do not make it to heaven?

If not, I would be eternally sad.

Is there any biblical reference?

You think the story has to do with the rich man and Lazarus.

And Lazarus was carried by the angels at Abraham's bosom.

And he talked about the relatives of the rich man.

The rich man said, I've got some brothers and sisters back home,

and so forth.

So there was a consciousness of the people back in this life.

But Abraham says, there's a great gulf between us.

You can't go over there and they can't come over to you.

But you ask-- what will happen is, you'll

be in the presence of God.

His love is going to be so overwhelming it'll

be like an explosion of atomic energy.

It'll be so fantastic.

And all the little things that were here on earth--

the little joys, the little hurts, the little this, that,

and the others-- all will fade away

in light of his glory and grace.

And I remember there was a song, turn your eyes on Jesus,

look full of his wonderful face and the things of earth

will become strangely dim in the light of his glory and grace.

When you get to heaven you don't have to worry about the fact

that you left somebody behind.

All the sorrow will be eclipsed in the glory of the Lord.
