WEBVTT 00:00.000 --> 00:02.268 Conspiracy theories abound and 00:02.335 --> 00:04.104 exactly how many there are, 00:04.170 --> 00:05.805 is up for grabs. 00:05.872 --> 00:07.607 Some conspiracies are recent, 00:07.674 --> 00:08.742 others are decades 00:08.808 --> 00:10.910 or even centuries old. 00:10.977 --> 00:13.113 Lists of popular theories abound 00:13.179 --> 00:15.548 on the Internet, though new ones 00:15.615 --> 00:17.417 seem to be born every year, 00:17.484 --> 00:19.386 especially in recent days. 00:19.452 --> 00:21.154 Leaders in government, science, 00:21.221 --> 00:22.856 medicine, and the media have 00:22.922 --> 00:25.258 discredited themselves through 00:25.325 --> 00:27.260 inept and dishonest policies 00:27.327 --> 00:28.328 affecting peoples and 00:28.395 --> 00:30.930 nations--thus giving rise to 00:30.997 --> 00:33.733 skepticism, distrust, and some 00:33.800 --> 00:35.535 of the most wildly speculative 00:35.602 --> 00:37.704 theories ever conceived. 00:37.771 --> 00:39.639 And with social media, come 00:39.706 --> 00:43.109 speculations on steroids. 00:43.176 --> 00:44.677 On today's Tomorrow's World 00:44.744 --> 00:46.179 program, we'll look at some 00:46.246 --> 00:48.047 of the most popular conspiracy 00:48.114 --> 00:49.015 theories that have 00:49.082 --> 00:50.383 ever been told. 00:50.450 --> 00:51.885 I'll also reveal the greatest 00:51.951 --> 00:53.987 conspiracy of all--one that is 00:54.053 --> 00:56.623 not theory, but fact. 00:56.689 --> 00:58.224 And we'll be offering to you one 00:58.291 --> 01:00.193 of the most

down the contact 01:13.640 --> 01:14.741 information that will be shown 01:14.808 --> 01:17.477 during this program. 01:17.544 --> 01:19.179 Stay with me as we review some 01:19.245 --> 01:20.680 of the most popular urban 01:20.747 --> 01:23.082 legends and reveal the greatest 01:23.149 --> 01:25.452 conspiracy of all. 01:25.518 --> 01:31.524 ♪ 01:31.591 --> 01:33.660 Welcome to Tomorrow's World 01:33.726 --> 01:35.762 where we give you the good news 01:35.829 --> 01:37.997 of the coming Kingdom of God, 01:38.064 --> 01:40.300 explain prophecies of the Bible, 01:40.366 --> 01:41.634 and bring new insights 01:41.701 --> 01:43.703 from the Word of God. 01:43.770 --> 01:45.104 On today's program, we'll 01:45.171 --> 01:46.406 look at some of the most 01:46.473 --> 01:48.641 popular conspiracy theories 01:48.708 --> 01:49.709 along with the greatest 01:49.776 --> 01:52.078 conspiracy of all time--one 01:52.145 --> 01:54.447 that affects your life. 01:54.514 --> 01:56.616 Some conspiracies involve famous 01:56.683 --> 01:59.085 people faking their own death. 01:59.152 --> 02:00.553 Other narratives are about how 02:00.620 --> 02:02.355 prominent people died, 02:02.422 --> 02:04.524 or didn't die, contrary 02:04.591 --> 02:06.726 to the official story. 02:06.793 --> 02:07.694 And some are rather 02:07.760 --> 02:08.728 laughable, such as, 02:08.795 --> 02:10.797 Elvis is still alive and 02:10.864 --> 02:11.998 was seen at, 02:12.065 --> 02:14.467 a gas station, grocery store, 02:14.534 --> 02:16.703 or, according to a supermarket 02:16.769 --> 02:18.838 tabloid, he was spotted at 02:18.905 --> 02:21.508 Graceland, his legendary home, 02:21.574 --> 02:23.743 on his 85th birthday, along with 02:23.810 --> 02:25.512 a grainy picture. 02:25.578 --> 02:26.513 Other famous death 02:26.579 --> 02:28.281 conspiracies involve, 02:28.348 --> 02:31.618 JFK assassin Lee Harvey Oswald, 02:31.684 --> 02:33.186 Martin Luther King, 02:33.253 --> 02:34.854 Princess Diana. 02:34.921 --> 02:35.822 And, would you believe, 02:35.889 --> 02:37.657 even Jesus, 02:37.724 --> 02:38.758 where a false story was 02:38.825 --> 02:40.293 circulated to explain away 02:40.360 --> 02:41.728 the resurrection. 02:41.794 --> 02:42.829 We read of it in 02:42.896 --> 02:44.430 Matthew 28th chapter, 02:44.497 --> 02:46.232 beginning in verse 11... 03:22.268 --> 03:23.803 As with that example, 03:23.870 --> 03:25.104 some conspiracies are 03:25.171 --> 03:27.140 more than theories. 03:27.206 --> 03:28.708 Some have proven to be true 03:28.775 --> 03:30.243 beyond internet blogs and 03:30.310 --> 03:32.078 questionable sources. 03:32.145 --> 03:33.613 One came to light from a Top 03:33.680 --> 03:35.415 Secret document that was made 03:35.481 --> 03:39.085 public November 18, 1997: 04:44.951 --> 04:46.452 The plan was given to President 04:46.519 --> 04:48.655 Kennedy, who had the good sense 04:48.721 --> 04:50.923 to turn it down, but the fact 04:50.990 --> 04:52.492 that a false flag of this 04:52.558 --> 04:55.094 magnitude was considered by high 04:55.161 --> 04:56.829 ranking government officials, 04:56.896 --> 04:59.298 involving sacrificing the lives 04:59.365 --> 05:01.300 of American citizens, 05:01.367 --> 05:03.002 is it any wonder that such 05:03.069 --> 05:04.804 schemes have contributed 05:04.871 --> 05:07.306 to wild speculations? 05:07.373 --> 05:09.242 Less than four years after 05:09.308 --> 05:11.077 Operation Northwoods came to 05:11.144 --> 05:13.813 light, Muslim extremists flew 05:13.880 --> 05:15.314 passenger planes into the 05:15.381 --> 05:16.949 World Trade Center towers 05:17.016 --> 05:18.551 and the Pentagon. 05:18.618 --> 05:20.787 Some allege that the CIA was 05:20.853 --> 05:22.822 complicit, and that the attack 05:22.889 --> 05:25.058 was a ruse to create fear 05:25.124 --> 05:26.092 so that Americans would 05:26.159 --> 05:27.493 give up greater control 05:27.560 --> 05:29.128 over their lives. 05:29.195 --> 05:31.030 Others believe it was an excuse 05:31.097 --> 05:32.699 for President Bush to invade 05:32.765 --> 05:34.467 Iraq and depose Saddam 05:34.534 --> 05:37.670 Hussain--finishing the job his 05:37.737 --> 05:40.440 father left undone. 05:40.506 --> 05:42.875 Sadly, some conspiracy theories 05:42.942 --> 05:44.277 have ruined the lives of those 05:44.343 --> 05:46.045 caught up in them. 05:46.112 --> 05:47.580 One example is, 05:47.647 --> 05:49.048 QAnon 05:49.115 --> 05:50.016 Or as others 05:50.083 --> 05:50.983 refer to it, 05:51.050 --> 05:53.052 QAnonsense. 05:53.119 --> 05:55.988 Following the January 6, 2021 05:56.055 --> 05:57.123 storming of the U.S. 05:57.190 --> 05:58.091 Capitol building in 05:58.157 --> 06:00.993 Washington, D.C., BBC news 06:01.060 --> 06:03.329 explained this phenomenon: 06:32.225 --> 06:34.460 This elaborately evolving theory 06:34.527 --> 06:37.864 began in October 2017 when an 06:37.930 --> 06:40.700 anonymous person, supposedly in 06:40.767 --> 06:43.169 the Trump administration, with 06:43.236 --> 06:45.304 Department of Energy high level 06:45.371 --> 06:47.740 Q security clearance, made a 06:47.807 --> 06:50.176 post on the 4chan message board 06:50.243 --> 06:53.079 and signed off as "Q." 06:53.146 --> 06:55.148 The very nature of Q is that it 06:55.214 --> 06:57.917 becomes an obsessive game where 06:57.984 --> 06:59.252 clues are dropped like 06:59.318 --> 07:01.521 breadcrumbs, creating an 07:01.587 --> 07:03.823 addiction to find and unravel 07:03.890 --> 07:06.192 the next cryptic post. 07:06.259 --> 07:07.693 Some estimate that there are 07:07.760 --> 07:10.096 millions following Q, and if you 07:10.163 --> 07:12.231 meet one of them, you understand 07:12.298 --> 07:14.734 how obsessed someone can become 07:14.801 --> 07:16.636 to an unproven theory from 07:16.702 --> 07:19.305 an anonymous source. 07:19.372 --> 07:21.040 Stories abound of ruined 07:21.107 --> 07:22.775 relationships as believers 07:22.842 --> 07:24.844 become consumed in a fantasy 07:24.911 --> 07:27.013 world where anyone who 07:27.079 --> 07:28.648 disagrees is shut out and 07:28.714 --> 07:30.950 considered the enemy. 07:31.017 --> 07:32.652 It may surprise you to know that 07:32.718 --> 07:34.453 the greatest conspiracy of all 07:34.520 --> 07:37.557 is exposed in the Bible. 07:37.623 --> 07:39.058 Do you realize, dear friends, 07:39.125 --> 07:40.560 that you may very well have been 07:40.626 --> 07:43.729 taken in by this conspiracy? 07:43.796 --> 07:45.298 I'll show you exactly what that 07:45.364 --> 07:47.700 conspiracy is, and who is behind 07:47.767 --> 07:49.902 it, but before I do, 07:49.969 --> 07:50.870 I want to offer you a 07:50.937 --> 07:53.306 free eye-opening resource. 07:53.372

late Dr. Roderick C. 08:10.089 --> 08:11.090 Meredith asks the 08:11.157 --> 08:13.125 thought-provoking question: 08:13.192 --> 08:15.194 "Is it possible that Satan has 08:15.261 --> 08:16.963

09:51.824 --> 09:53.326 at some widely held 09:53.392 --> 09:55.294 conspiracy theories. 09:55.361 --> 09:57.496 Few of them have anything to do 09:57.563 --> 09:59.365 with how you live your life and 09:59.432 --> 10:00.800 even if true, which most are 10:00.866 --> 10:03.703 not, what can you do about it? 10:03.769 --> 10:05.338 But, before the break I said 10:05.404 --> 10:06.706 we'll explore the greatest 10:06.772 --> 10:09.241 conspiracy of all time--right 10:09.308 --> 10:11.844 from the pages of the Bible. 10:11.911 --> 10:13.579 But let me first remind you of 10:13.646 --> 10:16.649 how skeptical we have become. 10:16.716 --> 10:18.317 Many are convinced that the U.S. 10:18.384 --> 10:19.852 government is not being truthful 10:19.919 --> 10:21.754 about a number of current and 10:21.821 --> 10:23.923 historical events. 10:23.990 --> 10:25.358 For example: 10:25.424 --> 10:26.625 It is alleged that the Moon 10:26.692 --> 10:29.128 Landing was faked, an alien 10:29.195 --> 10:31.664 spacecraft crashed at Roswell, 10:31.731 --> 10:33.899 New Mexico, and contrails are 10:33.966 --> 10:36.602 really chemtrails. 10:36.669 --> 10:37.570 And, then there is: 10:37.636 --> 10:39.205 The HAARP project 10:39.271 --> 10:41.040 HAARP, an acronym for 10:41.107 --> 10:43.075 High-Frequency Active Auroral 10:43.142 --> 10:45.411 Research Program, is a real 10:45.478 --> 10:47.580 U.S. government program. 10:47.646 --> 10:49.582 The only question is the alleged 10:49.648 --> 10:52.218 interpretation of its purpose. 10:52.284 --> 10:54.253 Its official website states: 11:07.700 --> 11:09.001 Researchers say they hope to 11:09.068 --> 11:10.703 learn about the ionosphere to 11:10.770 --> 11:12.338 enhance our communication and 11:12.405 --> 11:14.640 navigation technology. 11:14.707 --> 11:16.075 But a committed group of 11:16.142 --> 11:18.511 conspiracy theorists have long 11:18.577 --> 11:20.613 claimed HAARP is used to cause 11:20.679 --> 11:22.214 natural disasters, such as 11:22.281 --> 11:24.350 earthquakes, hurricanes, 11:24.417 --> 11:25.885 and even tsunamis. 11:25.951 --> 11:27.820 And others believe HAARP is used 11:27.887 --> 11:30.923 for mind control purposes. 11:30.990 --> 11:32.525 Wise king Solomon wrote... 11:50.443 --> 11:52.378 No, conspiracy theories are not 11:52.445 --> 11:54.914 new, but the Internet, social 11:54.980 --> 11:56.715 media, and photo doctoring 11:56.782 --> 11:59.752 techniques put them on steroids. 11:59.819 --> 12:01.120 But do you realize that there 12:01.187 --> 12:02.955 are commonly believed theories 12:03.022 --> 12:04.657 about Christ that have no 12:04.723 --> 12:07.126 basis in biblical fact? 12:07.193 --> 12:08.727 For example, many claim that 12:08.794 --> 12:10.563 Jesus was married to Mary 12:10.629 --> 12:12.298 Magdalene and that the 12:12.364 --> 12:13.265 Church has hidden the 12:13.332 --> 12:15.234 evidence for centuries. 12:15.301 --> 12:17.103 Made popular by the book Holy 12:17.169 --> 12:20.039 Blood, Holy Grail and the Dan 12:20.106 --> 12:22.241 Brown novel The Da Vinci Code, 12:22.308 --> 12:24.009 this conspiracy theory has been 12:24.076 --> 12:26.579 around a long time. 12:26.645 --> 12:28.214 Some claim that this supposed 12:28.280 --> 12:29.915 marriage produced a lineage of 12:29.982 --> 12:31.450 children that were eventually 12:31.517 --> 12:33.385 brought to France. 12:33.452 --> 12:36.122 In 2012, Harvard historian Karen 12:36.188 --> 12:38.591 King claimed to have found an 12:38.657 --> 12:40.626 ancient, second-century writing 12:40.693 --> 12:41.727 in which Jesus supposedly 12:41.794 --> 12:45.898 calls Mary "My wife." 12:45.965 --> 12:47.366 But four years later, 12:47.433 --> 12:48.734 she conceded that she had 12:48.801 --> 12:51.437 been duped by a forgery. 12:51.504 --> 12:53.639 Still, the theory persists, as 12:53.706 --> 12:55.641 conspiracy theorists claim Mary 12:55.708 --> 12:57.076 Magdalene's role in the early 12:57.143 --> 12:59.078 Church has been hidden and 12:59.145 --> 13:00.679 suppressed to maintain the 13:00.746 --> 13:02.414 power structure of the 13:02.481 --> 13:04.917 male "patriarchy." 13:04.984 --> 13:06.719 Of course the Bible says no such 13:06.785 --> 13:09.255 thing, but this is an example of 13:09.321 --> 13:11.524 how little understanding, and 13:11.590 --> 13:13.192 how little faith individuals 13:13.259 --> 13:15.127 have in the one and only 13:15.194 --> 13:17.062 authoritative source of 13:17.129 --> 13:19.031 the life of Jesus. 13:19.098 --> 13:20.699 Books can be exciting. 13:20.766 --> 13:22.701 Movies can be thrilling. 13:22.768 --> 13:24.503 But neither secular books nor 13:24.570 --> 13:26.438 movies should guide us on 13:26.505 --> 13:28.807 this important subject. 13:28.874 --> 13:30.376 As blasphemous as this theory 13:30.442 --> 13:32.678 is, and the conspiracy about the 13:32.745 --> 13:34.246 disciples stealing the body of 13:34.313 --> 13:36.215 Jesus, there is an even more 13:36.282 --> 13:38.684 important one--the greatest 13:38.751 --> 13:40.886 conspiracy of all. 13:40.953 --> 13:42.755 And I'll reveal it in a moment, 13:42.821 --> 13:44.056 but we'll take a very 13:44.123 --> 13:45.958 short break as a reminder to 13:46.025 --> 13:47.927 order your free copy of 13:47.993 --> 13:50.763 Restoring Original

Satan has 13:57.403 --> 13:58.837 deceived millions of 13:58.904 --> 14:00.973 sincere Christians? 14:01.040 --> 14:02.508 What type of church would Jesus 14:02.575 --> 14:04.510 recognize as His own? 14:04.577 --> 14:05.711 [And] 14:05.778 --> 14:06.679 Does our worship 14:06.745 --> 14:08.147 please Jesus Christ and 14:08.214 --> 14:09.949 God the Father? 14:10.015 --> 14:11.584 Order your free

all--one that you must not 14:19.658 --> 14:21.860 ignore, as it affects your life 14:21.927 --> 14:24.163 today, and you may already have 14:24.230 --> 14:26.265 been deceived by it. 14:26.332 -->

14:44.116 --> 14:46.018 reveal the greatest conspiracy 14:46.085 --> 14:48.020 of all--one that you must not 14:48.087 --> 14:50.122 ignore, as it affects your life 14:50.189 --> 14:52.191 today, and you may already have 14:52.258 --> 14:54.226 been deceived by it. 14:54.293 --> 14:56.462 True first century followers of 14:56.528 --> 14:58.697 Christ took the truth seriously. 14:58.764 --> 15:00.332 For them, it was no game, no 15:00.399 --> 15:04.069 social club, but a way of life. 15:04.136 --> 15:06.238 The questions must be asked, 15:06.305 --> 15:07.873 is the Christianity of 15:07.940 --> 15:09.642 today the same as that of 15:09.708 --> 15:11.510 the first century? 15:11.577 --> 15:13.879 Is it Original Christianity, or 15:13.946 --> 15:16.181 a shallow counterfeit? 15:16.248 --> 15:17.850 Here's the answer from mainline 15:17.916 --> 15:20.019 Protestant scholar, Jesse Lyman 15:20.085 --> 15:22.021 Hurlbut, in his book The Story 15:22.087 --> 15:24.189 of the Christian Church. 15:24.256 --> 15:25.724 In the chapter that he titled, 15:25.791 --> 15:28.227 "The Age of Shadows" he wrote: 15:50.549 --> 15:52.384 Now what were those changes 15:52.451 --> 15:54.053 that he refers to? 15:54.119 --> 15:56.455 How significant were they? 15:56.522 --> 15:58.023 Were they minor cosmetic 15:58.090 --> 16:00.025 changes or changes in 16:00.092 --> 16:02.027 frontline doctrines? 16:02.094 --> 16:04.563 Hurlbut lists a few of the many 16:04.630 --> 16:05.898 that took place during the 16:05.964 --> 16:07.866 shadowy time and the centuries 16:07.933 --> 16:08.901 that followed: 16:56.782 --> 16:58.550 Hurlbut is one of many mainline 16:58.617 --> 17:00.285 scholars and historians who 17:00.352 --> 17:02.121 admit that the Christian church 17:02.187 --> 17:04.623 of today is not the same as that 17:04.690 --> 17:07.393 of Jesus, His apostles, and His 17:07.459 --> 17:09.495 first-century followers. 17:09.561 --> 17:11.163 Original Christianity 17:11.230 --> 17:12.231 was corrupted by a 17:12.297 --> 17:14.833 grand conspiracy. 17:14.900 --> 17:16.335 One common narrative is that 17:16.402 --> 17:18.303 Roman Emperor Constantine 17:18.370 --> 17:20.539 converted to Christianity and 17:20.606 --> 17:22.775 made Christianity the religion 17:22.841 --> 17:25.544 of Europe and much of the world. 17:25.611 --> 17:27.312 But how converted was 17:27.379 --> 17:29.481 Constantine, and what kind 17:29.548 --> 17:30.916 of Christianity did he 17:30.983 --> 17:32.851 bring to the world? 17:32.918 --> 17:35.421 Historian Paul Johnson observes 17:35.487 --> 17:36.755 the following in this regard: 19:16.755 --> 19:17.890 The record of history shows 19:17.956 --> 19:19.958 original Christianity of the 19:20.025 --> 19:22.227 first century was very different 19:22.294 --> 19:24.329 from that of today, 19:24.396 --> 19:26.498 but does this matter as long 19:26.565 --> 19:28.800 as we worship Jesus? 19:28.867 --> 19:30.002 How does the Bible 19:30.068 --> 19:31.970 answer this question? 19:32.037 --> 19:33.805 And how does it describe first 19:33.872 --> 19:36.275 century Christianity? 19:36.341 --> 19:37.342 I'll answer these questions 19:37.409 --> 19:39.578 after reminding you once more of 19:39.645 --> 19:41.914 today's important resource: 19:41.980 --> 19:44.816 Restoring Original Christianity. 19:44.883 --> 19:46.485 If we compare the practices of 19:46.552 --> 19:48.820 Constantine to Christ, or the 19:48.887 --> 19:51.023 teaching of the Papacy to those 19:51.089 --> 19:53.325 of the biblical Peter, or the 19:53.392 --> 19:55.460 doctrines of Protestantism 19:55.527 --> 19:57.195 to the biblical Paul, 19:57.262 --> 20:00.165 we have some choices to make. 20:00.232 --> 20:02.467 Restoring Original

matters. 20:18.584 --> 20:19.885 We'll also contrast the 20:19.952 --> 20:22.254 Christianity of Jesus, Peter, 20:22.321 --> 20:25.924 and Paul with that of today. 20:25.991 --> 20:28.093 For today's

21:28.487 --> 21:30.455 Tomorrow's World program. 21:30.522 --> 21:32.324 In the previous segments, I read 21:32.391 --> 21:34.826 from scholars and historians how 21:34.893 --> 21:36.795 the Christianity of Christ is 21:36.862 --> 21:40.132 not the same as that of today. 21:40.198 --> 21:41.433 But do you realize that this 21:41.500 --> 21:43.769 greatest conspiracy of all, to 21:43.835 --> 21:46.271 transform Original Christianity 21:46.338 --> 21:48.306 into an apostate religion 21:48.373 --> 21:51.109 of confusion and heathenism, 21:51.176 --> 21:52.077 was foretold in the 21:52.144 --> 21:54.379 pages of the Bible? 21:54.446 --> 21:55.380 That modern professing 21:55.447 --> 21:57.149 Christianity has been supplanted 21:57.215 --> 21:59.484 is not in dispute. 21:59.551 --> 22:01.153 The real questions are, 22:01.219 --> 22:02.187 who did it? 22:02.254 --> 22:03.155 And, what should you 22:03.221 --> 22:04.589 do about it? 22:04.656 --> 22:05.857 The answers to both are 22:05.924 --> 22:07.526 found in the Bible. 22:07.592 --> 22:09.761 Let's answer the first question. 22:09.828 --> 22:12.864 Who is behind this conspiracy? 22:12.931 --> 22:14.766 Speaking of the time yet ahead, 22:14.833 --> 22:16.902 we read in Revelation the 12th 22:16.968 --> 22:20.038 chapter and verse 9 that there 22:20.105 --> 22:21.306 is a great deceiver... 22:33.485 --> 22:36.621 In Ephesians 2, verse 2, we 22:36.688 --> 22:38.557 learn how he deceives the 22:38.623 --> 22:41.359 world--by broadcasting attitudes 22:41.426 --> 22:43.228 and moods through the air. 23:00.112 --> 23:01.580 Satan does not direct the 23:01.646 --> 23:04.282 course of this world alone. 23:04.349 --> 23:05.383 He uses human beings 23:05.450 --> 23:06.518 who themselves are 23:06.585 --> 23:08.553 most often deceived. 23:08.620 --> 23:09.955 And that deception is not 23:10.021 --> 23:12.224 in moral values alone, 23:12.290 --> 23:15.594 but in Christianity itself. 23:15.660 --> 23:16.628 There are many warnings in the 23:16.695 --> 23:18.630 New Testament against a Satanic 23:18.697 --> 23:20.665 false Christianity--more 23:20.732 --> 23:22.267 than I have time to fully 23:22.334 --> 23:24.436 cover in this program. 23:24.503 --> 23:26.638 One passage shows the Apostle 23:26.705 --> 23:28.507 Paul soundly correcting the 23:28.573 --> 23:30.809 church at Corinth over their 23:30.876 --> 23:32.944 careless acceptance of doctrines 23:33.011 --> 23:35.514 contrary to the truth-- 23:35.580 --> 23:37.482 2 Corinthians the 11th 23:37.549 --> 23:39.317 chapter, verse 4... 23:54.699 --> 23:56.201 Paul then went on to explain the 23:56.268 --> 23:58.436 source of the problem and he 23:58.503 --> 24:01.106 minced no words in doing so. 24:01.173 --> 24:02.374 He would not be viewed as 24:02.440 --> 24:04.910 politically correct today. 24:04.976 --> 24:07.279 Notice it in verses 13-15... 24:32.470 --> 24:34.206 Yes, there was a conspiracy to 24:34.272 --> 24:36.575 transform Christianity into 24:36.641 --> 24:37.742 something very different 24:37.809 --> 24:39.444 from that of Jesus and 24:39.511 --> 24:41.713 his early followers. 24:41.780 --> 24:43.748 Jesus' half-brother Jude, 24:43.815 --> 24:45.517 writing in the first century, 24:45.584 --> 24:47.586 admonished those of his day that 24:47.652 --> 24:48.887 they needed to strive to 24:48.954 --> 24:50.722 preserve the truth which was 24:50.789 --> 24:52.624 already delivered to them. 24:52.691 --> 24:54.726 And by doing so, he put a 24:54.793 --> 24:57.128 nail in the coffin of the idea 24:57.195 --> 24:59.531 that original Christianity 24:59.598 --> 25:01.900 should evolve over time. 25:01.967 --> 25:05.370 Notice in Jude verse 3... 25:20.785 --> 25:22.487 Jesus warned against following 25:22.554 --> 25:25.257 men who claim to represent Him, 25:25.323 --> 25:27.926 men who say Jesus is the Christ, 25:27.993 --> 25:29.494 but deceive the people 25:29.561 --> 25:31.730 in the process. 25:31.796 --> 25:33.298 The first sign Jesus gave when 25:33.365 --> 25:35.500 asked by His disciples about the 25:35.567 --> 25:37.502 sign of His coming, was 25:37.569 --> 25:39.204 false Christianity... 25:44.109 --> 25:45.977 [That is, representing Him.] 25:48.179 --> 25:49.247 [That is Jesus.] 25:52.417 --> 25:55.353 Jesus said in Matthew 5:17... 26:02.827 --> 26:04.629 So what do people do? 26:04.696 --> 26:06.932 They think exactly what He said 26:06.998 --> 26:09.000 not to think--that the law of 26:09.067 --> 26:10.902 God is done away. 26:10.969 --> 26:12.771 No wonder Jesus asks... 26:18.877 --> 26:20.745 The highly respected philosopher 26:20.812 --> 26:22.480 and theologian Søren 26:22.547 --> 26:24.282 Kierkegaard, sums it up with 26:24.349 --> 26:26.384 brutal clarity: 27:00.118 --> 27:01.019 So what are you, 27:01.086 --> 27:03.154 dear friends, going to do? 27:03.221 --> 27:04.689 Will you follow the traditions 27:04.756 --> 27:06.057 of men, as they have
