IF THERE ARE ENTITIES (INTELLIGENT LIFE FORMS) LIVING ON OTHER PLANETS, WILL THEY ALSO BE PRESENT IN HEAVEN WHEN THEY DIE? WHO IS JESUS PREACHING TO IN THE BOOK OF PETER WHICH SAYS HE PREACHED TO THE SPIRITS IN PRISON? Read Transcript


- Okay, this is Thomas whosays, if there are entities

intelligent life formsliving on other planets,

will they also be presentin heaven when they die?

If not, why not?

- Well, the wise, I don'tthink there are, I think there

are angels that will be present.

And God created theangels, but he put mankind.

made in His image here on earth.

And this is our planetand all that other stuff

about interstellar life

and little creatures

from outer space.

It just has no reality to it.

So that's the way it is.

And I--

Okay, next question.

- This is Naomi who says,

"Hi Pat, I'm 14 years old

and I have a biologyclass where they teach us

that we evolved from animals.

I know that it's not true at all

and that God created everyliving thing on earth

including us human beings.

I just want to ask, why dokids need to stay in school,

if the schools are goingto be teaching us lies

and deceiving everyone?

Should I quit school when I'm old enough?

Because it's so boring

and I always find myself frustrated

and annoyed when theyteach us stuff like this.

Does Jesus care, if kids stay in school?"

(Pat laughing)

- I think Jesus wants youto be the best you can be.

And it breaks his heart--- [Woman] Amen.

- You know, this wholething about evolution,

I remember a few years ago,

I was reading an article about DNA

and what it takes tomake up a human being.

And this article said, "anevolution, created a human being

and the DNA molecules

were the equivalent

of a 1000 volumes, 500 pages each,

of close printed type,

and that would be your DNA.

And that's what evolution did."

And you think, "Are you out of your mind?

You're supposed to be a scholar.

And this is what you write down

that you find a libraryof a thousand books

and you think evolution,that they just flew--,

(stuttering)arrived Willy nilly as the--,

(stuttering) print jumpedonto the page by evolution?"

It doesn't work.

And you know,(stuttering)

Anyhow, that is an accepted doctrine

and you go to school andthat's what you learn.

So the answer is, I don't know,

you could be homeschooled,

your parents not, maynot, be able to do it.

And we're stuck witha public school system

that is indoctrinating people right now

with all kinds of racial hatred.

And I think the public school system is

in terrible shape and you know,

that's enough.

Okay.

- Jay asks, "Could you pleasetell me what John 3:5 means

when it says you must be, "born

of water and of spirit" to enter heaven.

What is the water?"

- Well, you know, they isa term, 'The waters break.'

And so, a human being actually,there is a certain amount

of water at the birth of a human being.

But I also think water hasto do with the baptism.

And there's a, there'sa cleansing that comes

about from water, but the cleansing

is, the water and the Spirit, gives life.

So I think those two things, sorry.

- Evangelina says, "Who is Jesus preaching

to in the book of Peter

which says he preached tothe "spirits in prison?""

- I think Peter's talking

about those who beforeJesus, were believers

but they had not had achance to find the savior.

And I believe the idea hereis, they were being held

waiting for the revelation of the gospel.

That's, that's all I know.

Okay.

- Patricia says " Hi Pat,

would you please explainwhat intercessory prayers are

and how do they differfrom our daily prayers?"

- Well, the intercessoryprayer, you're asking

for somebody else, you'reinterceding on their behalf.

I pray for my mother,

I pray for you,

I pray for each one,

I pray for Terry

and I pray for somebody besides myself.

I'm asking stuff for me.

If I'm talking to somebodyelse, I'm interceding.

That's the idea.

Okay.- [Woman] Okay.
