- You don't believe Moses parted the sea?
- No.

:06:03
- God wrote the Ten Commandments?
- Nope.

:06:07
Or that the dead were raised
and the blind cured?

:06:09
And 5,000 people were fed
with five little fishes

:06:13
and two little itty-bitty loaves of bread?
:06:15
No.
:06:16
You don't believe in any of the miracles
in the Holy Bible, do you?

:06:20
No more than I believe that black cats or
spilt salt or broken mirrors are bad luck.

:06:25
Or that God can be jealous
or bloodthirsty or vengeful.

:06:29
Or that Jehovah sanctions bigamy
and stupidity and slavery.

:06:33
In other words,
you don't believe in the Bible.

:06:37
I believe that the Bible is a book
of beautiful poetry and wisdom...

:06:41
But it's not fact.
:06:46
And if it's not fact,
:06:48
why would he use it as information,
except to destroy her character?

:06:51
I heard you say it,
and you'll burn in hell for it.

:06:55
No, Georgie.
You can't scare Jim that way.

:06:59
You see, if you don't believe in the Bible...
you don't believe there's a real hell.

:07:05
Hey.
:07:06
And it follows if there's no real hell, there
can't be a real heaven. Right, Jim boy?

:07:10
Why don't you get to the point?
:07:13
Do you believe Jesus Christ
can give us life everlasting?

:07:25
Do you believe Jesus Christ
can give us life everlasting?

:07:31
- I'd love to believe it.
- But you don't?

:07:35
No.
:07:40
Then you don't accept
Jesus Christ as divine, do you?

:07:54
Well?
:07:59
Jesus was a great, virtuous teacher.
His faith and courage changed the worid.
