Automated transcript. Not reviewed for accuracy.

Well, hey, some people disciple up close and up front and personal, and you sit across the table from them. And like, you know, my discipler, Dave, when I was like 19 years old, we would sit at his kitchen table, and he was a mechanic, and he was just a bear of a man. He had thumbs like blood sausages. They were big, thick thumbs. And he would look at me, and he'd say, you're keeping that girlfriend pure.

I don't want to hear nothing but purity coming out of your life. And he has a Bible, and he passed away recently, and I got one of his Bibles. He would read through the Bible every year for 31 years, and it was all highlighted, and he called it his toolbox, his work shed. And that's what he would have. And it was just hardcore discipleship, dirty, and I needed that because I was coming out of PB and selling all kinds of things I shouldn't have been selling and doing all kinds of things I shouldn't have done.

And that guy just got me by the scruff of the neck like a little pup and just took me, you know. And I don't know if you need that, but I did. Other people disciple from afar, and there's men that I've looked up to my entire life and seen them from afar, I've read their books, watched their life, and Josh McDowell is one of those men. And there's men women as well that I've looked up to and that have led in so many amazing ways.

But Josh has been that from afar, and we met for the first time today. I've spoken. It will be recorded. It will be recorded. Yeah, we will record. Yes, I can redo it for you, too, when everyone leaves, whatever you want. I'll just put it up there. A superhero of sorts, a man, great larger than mountains. No, I'm just kidding. They actually don't need me.

They brought their own video. We're going to show the video right now, a little bit of a welcome, and then we're going to welcome Josh McDowell to our little church on the corner, La Jolla Christian Fellowship. Let's watch this video. We'll be right back. We'll be right back. We'll be right back. We'll be right back. We'll be right back. We'll be right back.

I've got to be a man, a man, a man for some Well, close to the other side Yeah, I'm feeling like it's now a man for me Can I break the spell? Good morning. Man, when I went down to McDonald's, it's the only international restaurant, you don't need reservations.

And I went by Bob's Tavern And there were guys lined up going in there for literally over one block I said, it ain't something in the morning? Man, they drink a lot here. Then I realized they're all dressed the same. Then I realized they were Pittsburgh fans. And I guess there must be a playoff game, but I thought for a minute Boy, they drink early in La Jolla Enjoy this weather today because we do have a great storm Coming in tonight Supposed to be the greatest storm of the decade Which will hit Northern California, not here But this morning Well, we need the rain up there, not here This morning I want you to give me your minds, not your hearts I want to do it the biblical way Christianity Is a thinking faith And you don't start with the heart You start with the mind and go to the heart And that's what I want to do this morning And this is going to be a very unusual time for you Because you're going to see things and hear things That 98% of believers or 99% in the world have never heard or seen And what we have here, especially that thing down there You're going to be able to photograph and everything There's only one other person I know in the entire world would do this These things are so valuable And there's a scripture in Matthew 24, 35 Heaven and earth shall pass away But my word shall not pass away You literally have physical, historical evidence On this table this morning That that scripture is true And you will see that as I walk through And try to explain it to you What we have here is what I call the Lotz scroll Lotz because Where it came from And it's the number one city that So many Jewish people were killed in So I did it in honor of them And named it after that city Usually when you purchase a scroll You name it after yourself And I thought the McDowell scroll Wow, that sure sounds exciting But But this Is a scroll, a Jewish scroll Of the first five books of the Bible Now there's three different names given for it What is one?

A Torah This is a Jewish Torah scroll Most people have never even seen one Second What's another name? Pentateuch Penta meaning five This is a Jewish Pentateuch scroll What Now nobody gets this next one What's the other name? No? Man alive as your head shine, mister Woo hoo I'm going to have to go like this, man It's all that intelligence coming out The law of Moses Most people say the law No The law of Moses This is a Torah scroll A Pentateuch scroll And the law of Moses scroll Now first One of the first questions is When was it done?

When was this copied? It's one of the oldest rare scrolls in existence today Probably one of the top three or four in the world And it reveals this This scroll is so unique It reveals its timing You see how to do that? Well in the first column over there You'll see two letters pay In Hebrew But they got curly cues inside them That's called a rolling pay And that dates a scroll Before 1450 A.D.

So it puts a scroll Right about 600 to 700 years old And boy for a scroll folks That is old But it dates itself Other people say Well where was it copied? This scroll again is so unique It reveals where it was copied You say how? You look at this You'll think it's black ink It's not It's dark brown ink And the only place in the world That was used Was on the border of Germany And Poland So it reveals its date And reveals its timing Now The ink on it Was not from charcoal And I'm sorry I don't have them here I usually have a little thing With gall nuts It's gall nut ink See what's a gall nut?

When a When a Wasp would lay its larvae In an oak tree Only an oak tree The oak tree To react to it Would start building An encasement around it And it would look Whoops I can't see my power point It would start looking like that And they become very little points Sticking out on them And in there Is the basis of a lot of Modern medicine Some of your best clothing dye And Some of your best ink And it kind of like They put it in the end of a sock Smash it up Boil it in certain substance Out comes an incredible ink Out of gall nuts And the gall nuts that I have Came from Aleppo, Syria If it still exists To understand And appreciate The scroll You've got to understand The people who copied it It was a professional group Of people called the scribes It would take me about 20-25 minutes to explain it So I'm going to do it In a minute 20 seconds With the unique video We've created Now you've got to listen To every word And watch every graphic To get the point of it Let's go to that video Let's have a moment of honesty here Everything we believe Hangs on this book being true A book that's been copied By hand in a game of telephone Lasting centuries Yeah, let's deal with that doubt For a minute To trust this book You have to trust The people that made it So, let's look at the work Of a scribe Responsible for the Torah Before he can ever Touch ink to paper There are 4,000 rules He has to memorize He's a professional Responsible for every stage Of production Preparing the calfskin Creating a grid With pinholes and string So each letter Is in the same place Each word reads With the same ease And accuracy As the original Even the tedious task Of preparing a day's worth Of ink from gall nuts He copies one word At a time First saying Then writing Then saying it again Make a mistake On God's name He starts the whole document Over Every single letter 304,805 of them Is written according To a prescribed set Of strokes He writes with a feather Quill By candlelight With ink that bleeds And runs And the letters Must not touch We're talking about A lifetime Of backbreaking dedication And that means This book Is not just any book It means that The words it contains God meeting his people Face to face God leading Protecting Providing for them Those words Can't be a mistake So we're forced To deal Not just with words But with the living God himself When you walk up here And look at this You'll say No way This was done by hand With a quill From a goose A feather But it was But it looks so Perfect The reason is They believed That they created A perfect grid That everything Started in the same place Into the same place Perfectly straight lines It would be easier To copy it Interpret it Pronounce it And Study it So much easier And it's true You look at this It's a perfect grid Now If you go down To the end There at the beginning And if you got Good eyes You'll see a perfect Line of pinholes Before the text And what they did Was this They took each section And they put Pins down it Then they took Fine string And stretched Between the pins Then they take A sharp object Like a Bone Or a Broken glass And they would Score The text Perfectly You can look In the margins And see The perfect line Scored And You'll look at this You'll say It's upside down Two people Already this morning Said that to me No It's right side up The reason is That's Gentile Ignorance Any Jewish person Would know If we wrote On a grid We would write On top of the line And certain letters Like G Y P Would go Underneath the line They didn't do that They hung the letters From the line And then certain letters Would go Above The grid So it looks Upside down When it's right side up And then The perfect margin But here's the problem They want everything To start in the exact place In the exact place But you don't Hyphenate a Hebrew word You don't divide it So what happens If the word is too long They do two things One They will Compress it And you can see In the second column Where they've done that In a lot of places They've done that They will compress it in But here's what You've got to remember No letter can touch There must be The breadth of a human hair Between every single letter Or it's a mistake And they cannot use the text Until they correct it And So they would compress it Or They would Take that word That's too long Begin the next line With it And take the last letter Of the word Of the line And stretch it out To the end It's called elongated And you can see it here Where it would end in With a perfect grid To help them Copy it more correctly Read it more correctly Interpret it more correctly Etc As it said in the video Every single letter Had to be done According to an exact Formula of strokes Every one 304,805 letters And they had to be So clear And this was key For this transmission Down through the years Every letter Had to be so clear That an average School child Could immediately Know what it is That was the guide To their Clarity And it took Up to 2,000 hours To copy it Sometimes 3 years To copy a scroll In Matthew 5,18 It says For surely I say to you Till heaven and earth Pass away One jot Or one tittle Will by no means Pass in the law Till all is fulfilled I can almost never Even in pastors Conference And everything else Find out what people Think A yod And a Jot In a Tittle is A jot Is the tiniest Letter of the Hebrew alphabet It looks like A comma Or a colon And it has A little Tail on it And a little Horn going up That's the tiniest Letter of the Hebrew alphabet A tittle Has no significance There's no meaning To it Whatever It's only for Ornamentation But only certain Letters must have 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 Tittles Now what is a tittle A tittle Are those little Lines going up That has a Curlicue on top When there's Five of them Like in the first Letter When there's Five of them That's called A crown But when you Look in here You'll see 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 Tittles on different Letters But with every Scroll Had to be the Exact same letter And before a scribe Could ever begin Copying They had to Memorize and know 4,000 built-in Regulations To guarantee Accuracy No other Liturgy in history Compares with this 4,000 regulations Built right in the text To make sure They were Accurate And then They would take Certain parts Like right here They would do Unusual literary Device Like right here Is the Song of the Sea Yeah The Song of the Sea And they believe The crossing of the Red Sea Is the most important When I say they The Jewish people That's God's Most important Message to them So they put They take a column Divided almost Like into three columns Where they believe They will interpret it And read it more accurately You read one third Of a column Now do you understand that?

Yes Then you go up You read the center Now do you understand that? Yes Now you come down Read the last third Now a lot of Jewish traditions say That this is Symbolizes the waves Of the Red Sea Now I don't know If that's true or not But it sure sounds good So let's say it is You know today You can make up facts And so Let's say that's That's why it looks that way The Red Sea Then if I could roll this out And it would go way outdoors It's 77 feet tall I got four others That are over 100 feet And this one is totally intact That's the rare thing of it It's totally In the Dead Sea Scrolls There's not one single Torah Not one single Torah That's one of the things That makes this so unique But if I roll it way out About the fourth Fifth column in From the end One column Is divided into two columns Like you see here Because they felt It was such an important message That they read Just a part of it First Do you understand And then the next And then go up And you say Look how dirty it is And oh no That was all done on purpose This was done by A very poor village In the border And Poland Side of Germany And Poland And they couldn't afford Their own scribe And they couldn't afford A new scroll And so when every year They'd bring in a special rabbi Who would do three things One He'd make any corrections Third Correct any damage Done to the scroll And third Would re-ink it With letters Who start to fade Normally They can never use A scroll again But they couldn't afford A new scroll So they'd re-ink it Well here they learned With a certain solution You can paint it like Over the text And literally Look at it The text comes right alive Without it You couldn't read it And so that's Done on purpose Like that And then within the text Like there's some here I see a whole bunch there There's extended letters Within the text Not at the end To make the margin But within the text And what they mean These extended letters Is to emphasize How important This passage is All built within the text This means really Slow down And make sure You understand it And then you'll see Large letters I can see There's a huge one Right there These large letters Look deep black And about twice the size They're dark brown And twice the size And the reason For the large letters Is to emphasize The importance Of that verse Not that it's hard To understand But this verse Is very important All built within the text Text folks No other literature Of history Ever dreamed of this And then you'll see Some with dots above it Anywhere from one And I found this one Eleven dots Now what that means is This letter Or this word Is very difficult To exegete Meaning to interpret So it means Stop Make sure You're interpreting This right And go to the experts If you're not Absolutely sure See they build that All within the text With these dots Above it And then you'll see Empty spaces Like one Two Three Four Five Six Seven Eight Right here These spaces Where it might Be anywhere From a little bit To a half Of the line But there's text Before it At the end of it What that means Is like in your Old Testament In the book of Psalms It'll say Selah S-E-L-A-H Which means Stop And meditate On this That's what those do They're built Right within the text It means Stop What you read Was just so important For you Go back over And meditate All built within the text Isn't that amazing Meditate On this And Then you'll see Like right here Is a line All the way Across There's another one Another one And those are like Kind of like chapter titles Built within the text And then some places You'll see A line Like right here Starts And goes almost All the way across Or slightly Into the text Now what that is That means This is a new truth A new thought So get ready for it Can you imagine All this has to be Memorized Built into the text Everyone must be The exact Everything And then to show The reverence for it You see the first letter Of the scroll They read from right To left Is extra large And it has five tittles On it Called a crown Now why To a Gentile That means nothing To a Jewish person It means everything It's a high symbol Of respect It means When you open up The scroll And you see that It means stop You are about ready To read God's Sacred text Prepare yourself Confess your sins Cleanse your body They would go off And take a shower They would wash Their hands They'd confess their sins And then come back And start to read The text Oh if we did that With the scriptures Wow And then for example To show reverence They'd come to any name For God Say like Elohim And what they would do Is They would not write The last letter Of the word before A name for God Why If any two letters Of that scroll Touches That's an error And it cannot Be used or anything Until it's Scraped off Erased and redone But if any two letters Ever touch In the name for God You cannot use The entire scroll Now think of that You got two years Into it In your last column And these pens I mean try to write With a quill I mean this is Justifiable suicide The quills run They bleed Everything So what they would do Is this They'd put down Their quill Ceremonially wash Their hands Pick up a special Quill just for A name for God And there'd be A special bowl For ink And the ink Could never touch The top of the table Or anything And so they Because this is the ink For the reverent name Of God So they would Shake it off probably Then they would write The last letter Of the word Before the name for God Then they'd write Like Elohim Why?

To try to drain The ink Out of the quill So it wouldn't have Such a chance To bleed or run When they're doing The name for God And destroy the scroll All that in the sake Of reverence That they held How many of you here Could stand up And explain What the Tetragrammaton is? There's no Jewish folks here? Any Jewish person Should know What the Tetragrammaton is Every Christian should know Nobody knows No, I'm serious This shows the reverence And the accuracy Of the scriptures The Tetragrammaton Tetra means four Meaning four consonants Of a name for God When Moses was coming Down the mountain He said This is crazy No one's gonna believe I came up here And met with God And they wrote Yeah, sure And he even says The Egyptians won't believe it And it went on And in Hebrew it says Even those from La Jolla Won't believe it And so he turned around To God And he said God, who in the world Can I say sent me?

And God gave his name What was it? I am Yahweh Or in Greek Amy I am Sent You could do Two, three weeks Of just that name Why Did he give that to Moses But Yahweh Jewish people today Don't even know How to pronounce Yahweh Are they ever? They've never heard it Why? They believe That this is God's First name And you Are not On a first name basis With God So you never Ever pronounce His first name Second They believe Your lips Were so unclean That you should Never allow The breath To say Yahweh For the holy Just Righteous name Of God To pass Between your lips Even today You go into A commentary In English By Jewish Scholars and all And they refer To the name For God Which would be Yahweh They do a Capital G Hyphen D They won't even Write out G-O-D But with Yahweh They don't know How to pronounce It because It would only Be pronounced Every once in a While in the Holy of Holies In the Tabernacle So this is What they did When they would Come to the Four consonants For the name For God They would Pause Everybody knew It was a Tetragrammaton But they didn't Know how to Pronounce it Because they Never heard it They'd always Pronounce another Name for God Adonai Once in a while Elohim Adonai means Lord And so they Pause Instead of saying Yahweh They'll say Adonai Well then When the Jews Were scattered Into all the World After the time Of Christ For two Three hundred Years Hebrew was no Longer their Basic language They were losing The ability To read it To interpret it To pronounce it And all And in passing From generation To generation They were losing It And so along Came in About 900 A.D.

Came the Masoretic Scribes Some called The Masoretic Scribes They created The Masoretic Text Whenever you See MTN In literature It means Masoretic Text And what These Masoretic Did was This To help The Jews Scattered All over The world Because For them To pronounce It is Just as Important As reading It So what They did They never Did this With a Scroll They did It with A codex Like what You'll see Down there And other Book forms But they Would never Change anything In the scroll It was Forbidden So what They did They divided It up Into words You see When you Look at This It's a Solid line Of consonants There's No vowels There's No words It's just A solid Line of Consonants But the Jewish people Know how To read It But after Years and Years in Exile They were Losing that Ability To look At a Whole line Of consonants And divided Up into The Right Words So one The Masoretic Divided Up into Words Then they Added a Vowel System To help Those scattered All over The world To pronounce It was just As important To pronounce It correctly And it's Called the Masoretic Text And so what They did When they Came to the Four Consonants For Yahweh They took And put The vowels Of the word For God Adonai And so here You have the Four Consonants Yahweh In the Vowels Of Adonai It means Nothing It's a Meaningless Word It's not Even a Word But all The Jews Knew It was A tetragrammaton But you Couldn't Pronounce it They always Pronounced The vowels Adonai Well then What happened Around 1500 Long came Tyndale To translate It into English And he Came to The first Tetragrammaton And he Knew it Was a Name For God But said How do You translate This Now how Would you Translate It Four Consonants One Name For God And the How to Do It And so One day Anyway They And so What they Did Tyndale Called in Some scholars Said How do We Translate This So they Start Well How do You Pronounce It You got Yahweh Adonai Yah Jehovah Jehovah I tell my Jehovah Witness friends Even your Name Is wrong I hope I just Didn't Destroy Your faith It's not Jehovah It's Yahweh Now there's Nothing wrong With having A Jehovah We'll always Have Jehovah What else Would you Do with Christian Music But we'll Always have Jehovah And so They translated It Jehovah And that's How we got It into The English Text It's That's Called The Tetragram But the Purpose Of that Is showed How much They Respected The scriptures And they Respected God In his Name And all And this Is why They did So many Precautions To guarantee Accuracy Here's a Text Of Yahweh The letters Yahweh The tetragrammaton With the vowels Added And Yahweh And then this Is a whole Hebrew script With the vowels Added To help the Jews Scattered all Over the world To even Pronounce it Correctly Now They reverence This so much They would Never allow And I ask You not To their Finger To touch The text The margins Yes But not The text Why They believe Your finger Is so Unclean You should Never touch The holy Sacred Text Wow You think Of us We put the Bible on The floor Everything No wonder Muslims Hit the ceiling When they're Around Christians And see No I'm Serious And what They do With their Bible And They Would not Touch it So it's Hard to Read You're Standing There How do You read It Well down There you'll See a whole Bunch of What's called Yods They're in A plastic Thing Please I had I had To do That Because three Of them Were broken A couple People Dropped One And broke About a Two thousand Dollar Yod And so I Put them In there Where you Can't pull Them out But boy Are they Beautiful And so they Did these And it's They're all Different types But with the Index finger Out like this And so they Would use that And they would Touch the text With that And then they Would pull Their eyes Across it Why Because they Reveraged it So much And then Every single Word They would Pronounce The word Like no No K-N-O-W Then they'd Take the first Letter K They'd Pronounce it Then they'd Write it And they'd Look and Pronounce it K-N-N-O-O Then when they Finished They had to Pronounce the word Again No To help Guarantee Accuracy Now every Letter Was important One Single letter Chipped off Or left Out Can totally Change a Passage For example Here's a Little Cuteness of It There was a Young monk Came into A monastery As he Walked into The monastery Saw these People copying Holy scripture And he goes Oh Wow What an Important job Copying God's holy Word But what If the If the one They're copying From has a Mistake So it Really bothered This young monk So he goes To the Monsignor He said Sir we Got a Problem He said What if The original They're copying From has a Mistake in It The Monsignor Said Hmm That's very Important He said I'll check That out So he Goes down Into the Catacombs Of these Things To go To the Room Where the The master Scrolls Were And he Didn't Come back He didn't Come back Didn't Come back After a while The young Monk Said I Wonder What Happened So he Goes Down There As he Approaches A room He hears The The head Of the Monastery Cry No No No They Left A letter Out They Left A letter Out If you Were a Catholic Priest You Would Get That Instantly It's Amazing How Fast Adam Got It But That's A little Humor To Show How Important Just one Letter Is Now They Finished All This Two Years Three Four Thousand Eight Five Letters Letter By Letter By Letter Pronouncing Each One Twice Everything Was it Accurate No Other Literature Of Antiquity Came Close To Doing This Up To Three Times They Bring In A special Rabbi Who Was Called The Counter That's How We Got To Count Sesame Street No I'm Just Kidding Called The Counter And They Would Count Every Single Letter Three Hundred Four Thousand Eight Five They Knew The Center Letter Was In Leviticus Eleven Forty Two So They Would Count One Hundred Fifty Two Thousand Four Hundred Two Letters Hoping To God The Next Letter Was The Center Letter Where They Couldn't Use The Text Then They Would Start With The Center Letter They Count One Hundred Fifty Two Thousand Four Hundred Two Hoping To God Four Two Was The Last Letter Of The Torah But They Couldn't Use It Until They Found It It Take Up To A Year To Find A Mistake No One And They Did That Up To Three Times They Could Tell If They Had To Left Out One Single Letter Not Only That They Assigned Numerical Numbers To Every Hebrew Letter And So They Knew From The Master Scrolls They Copied Single Line Of The Torah Was The Total Was If You Added Up The Numerical Number Of Each Letter On That Line So Then They Go Back And They Count The First Line Hoping To God Every Time It Matched The Master Number No One Has Ever Done That With Any Scripture In History I Concluded I Can Hold My Scriptures In My Hand And With Confidence Say Thus S The Lord But Not Only That This Is Only I Think The Third Time I Ever Presented This Publicly God Forgive Me I Wore My Right Hip Out And It's Going To Be Replaced Everywhere The 22nd Kicking My Children Too Much What You Have Here Now

That is the number one most misused verse in the history of the world. It is so distorted. It has absolutely nothing with a spiritual connotation to it. It has nothing to do, well, if you have devotions, you teach your child the word of God.

If you send them to good church, they won't leave their faith. Folks, that is heresy from that verse. That has nothing to do with it. And you know what is interesting?

Now you want me to tell you what that verse means? Buy the book.

I don't get anything from it. All the royalties are given away to reach young people for Christ. I just want to say, Adam, thank you for the privilege of being here. You're all welcome to come up.

It's called parchment.
