1
00:00:00,100 --> 00:00:01,700
Do you guys believe in an 
afterlife? 

2
00:00:01,700 --> 00:00:04,400
And if so, what what does it 
look like to you guy? 

3
00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:07,400
Don't tend to believe in an 
afterlife but I also don't know,

4
00:00:08,200 --> 00:00:11,000
you know, my instinct is that 
it's probably more likely that 

5
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:14,000
I'm just gonna, you know, like 
the ground and I'm cool with 

6
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:15,900
that. 
But, you know, I don't find the 

7
00:00:15,900 --> 00:00:18,000
idea of there not being enough 
life as depressing as think, a 

8
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:19,700
lot of people have, because I 
think it does make, you know, we

9
00:00:19,700 --> 00:00:22,500
only get one chance at this to 
make that very special, but I 

10
00:00:22,500 --> 00:00:25,800
don't know, maybe, hopefully, 
should Christians watch. 

11
00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:29,300
Harry Potter was before I 
shocked you all with my answer. 

12
00:00:29,300 --> 00:00:31,800
Let me first. 
First read to you a comment that

13
00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:35,700
Daniel Radcliffe AKA Harry 
Potter made about God. 

14
00:00:35,700 --> 00:00:39,300
I don't expect there to be a God
and an afterlife. 

15
00:00:39,300 --> 00:00:43,800
I would be pleasantly surprised 
if there was Daniel. 

16
00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:46,200
May I be so bold to ask you this
question? 

17
00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:49,800
What would you think of me? 
If I said to you, Harry Potter 

18
00:00:49,900 --> 00:00:52,700
is a terrible book well-being 
English like myself. 

19
00:00:52,700 --> 00:00:54,900
You'd probably politely say back
to me. 

20
00:00:54,900 --> 00:00:56,700
Well, that's fine. 
Joe, you're entitled to your 

21
00:00:56,708 --> 00:00:59,500
opinion. 
But what if I said Harry Potter 

22
00:00:59,500 --> 00:01:02,800
is at, Terrible book is the 
worst cook in the world but I've

23
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:05,500
never read it before. 
Would you think of me then we'd 

24
00:01:05,500 --> 00:01:09,700
say to me read it first Joe and 
then make a judgment and I just 

25
00:01:09,700 --> 00:01:13,500
want to say to any man, any 
woman who has rejected the Bible

26
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:16,200
who said the Bible is a load of 
nonsense. 

27
00:01:16,300 --> 00:01:19,700
Why don't you read it first 
before making such a strong 

28
00:01:19,700 --> 00:01:23,300
judgment and Daniel. 
If this video ever finds you, I 

29
00:01:23,300 --> 00:01:26,500
would love to tell you this one 
thing and it will not be easy to

30
00:01:26,500 --> 00:01:30,200
hear but it's this. 
I know in the past you have Dior

31
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:34,000
self as a militant atheist but 
your comment that you've just 

32
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:36,100
made that you would be 
pleasantly surprised. 

33
00:01:36,100 --> 00:01:38,800
And you hope there is an 
afterlife shows me that you 

34
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:41,900
don't know what you're rejecting
because if you'd read the Bible,

35
00:01:41,900 --> 00:01:46,600
you know, from cover to cover it
teaches a very simple message. 

36
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:50,400
All those who trust in the Lord,
Jesus Christ, have a wonderful 

37
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:53,500
promise of Heaven, have a 
wonderful eternity ahead of them

38
00:01:53,500 --> 00:01:56,200
in the afterlife. 
But all those who have said, I 

39
00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:59,800
want nothing to do with you, God
and reject, the Savior will 

40
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:04,100
Horrified because they will find
themselves Trapped In Hell 

41
00:02:04,100 --> 00:02:07,000
forever. 
It gives me no pleasure to say 

42
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:10,100
this, believe me, but you will 
not be pleasantly surprised. 

43
00:02:10,100 --> 00:02:12,200
If God is real, you'll be 
terrified. 

44
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:16,200
You'll be horrified When God 
Says these words depart from me 

45
00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:18,800
for I never knew you in a 
moment's time. 

46
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:21,600
I'm going to tell you whether I 
read the Harry Potter books or 

47
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:24,300
not. 
But first, have you heard this 

48
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:28,300
on January the first 20 22. 
There was a great big party that

49
00:02:28,300 --> 00:02:29,800
was thrown. 
It was to celebrate. 

50
00:02:29,900 --> 00:02:32,900
Great, the 20th anniversary of 
Harry Potter. 

51
00:02:32,900 --> 00:02:36,300
So all of the cast all the Harry
Potter members, they got 

52
00:02:36,300 --> 00:02:39,300
together and they celebrated 
Harry Potter, but there was one 

53
00:02:39,300 --> 00:02:43,500
person who wasn't invited. 
Do you know who that was JK? 

54
00:02:43,500 --> 00:02:46,900
Rowling, the creator of Harry 
Potter, she's the one who wrote 

55
00:02:46,900 --> 00:02:49,200
the books. 
Why wasn't she invited? 

56
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:52,000
Because she got cancelled by 
counsel culture. 

57
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:54,900
There here's the crazy thing. 
All of these people would not be

58
00:02:54,900 --> 00:02:57,900
there, if it was not for JK 
Rowling, some of these people 

59
00:02:57,900 --> 00:02:59,800
would never even have a career 
in acting. 

60
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:03,400
Self, if it wasn't for JK 
Rowling writing the Harry Potter

61
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:07,400
books and yet they're so proud 
to say no, we don't want 

62
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:10,200
anything to do with you, you're 
not allowed to come to this 

63
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:14,100
party and that kind of reminds 
me of the God of this universe. 

64
00:03:14,100 --> 00:03:16,900
You see every single day 
billions of people around the 

65
00:03:16,900 --> 00:03:20,800
world, breathe gods are billions
of people around the world, eat 

66
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:23,000
God's food. 
Billions of people around the 

67
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:27,300
world, walk on God's Earth and 
yet do they invite him to his 

68
00:03:27,300 --> 00:03:28,800
own party? 
Know. 

69
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:31,600
They spend the whole time. 
Time living their lives saying 

70
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:35,800
God, we shut you out who want 
nothing to do with you guys. 

71
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:39,700
This is serious stuff. 
I do not make these videos 

72
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:43,300
because I like gossip and drama.
I do not make these videos 

73
00:03:43,300 --> 00:03:45,400
because I'm a respecter of 
persons. 

74
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:49,300
And I love the high status of 
the celebrities, because before 

75
00:03:49,300 --> 00:03:52,900
God were all Sinners, I do not 
make these videos because I want

76
00:03:52,900 --> 00:03:55,800
to make ad revenue for I make 
naan from my videos. 

77
00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:59,500
I make these videos for one 
reason and one reason alone. 

78
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:01,900
Then me, there is an inner 
drive. 

79
00:04:01,900 --> 00:04:04,900
A compulsion to snatch Souls 
from hell. 

80
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:07,300
I mean think about it. 
Imagine if this video gets 

81
00:04:07,300 --> 00:04:12,700
100,000 views now that's 100,000
real people, what are the 

82
00:04:12,700 --> 00:04:17,700
chances that one of those 
100,000 will not be here next 

83
00:04:17,700 --> 00:04:20,600
week. 
I think those chances are pretty

84
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:22,300
high. 
What are the chances that in a 

85
00:04:22,300 --> 00:04:26,100
year's time ten of those people,
20 of those people will no 

86
00:04:26,100 --> 00:04:28,400
longer be in the land of the 
living. 

87
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:33,200
Again, I think those Chances are
very, very high and every single

88
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:38,000
day, I carry that burden but I 
need to tell people about Jesus 

89
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:41,900
because one day, when death robs
them of everything they once had

90
00:04:41,900 --> 00:04:45,100
and they stand bear before the 
living gods, they need to have 

91
00:04:45,100 --> 00:04:48,100
an answer. 
When God says, why should I let 

92
00:04:48,100 --> 00:04:50,500
you into my heaven? 
And if their answer is because 

93
00:04:50,500 --> 00:04:53,300
I've lived my life myself, I've 
been a good person. 

94
00:04:53,300 --> 00:04:56,000
I've done my best to do. 
Good works in this life. 

95
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:58,200
God a game will say, depart from
me. 

96
00:04:58,300 --> 00:05:02,400
I never knew you you Coven 
Equity, but every single person 

97
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:04,600
who will say, there is no 
goodness in me. 

98
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:08,100
The only reason you should let 
me into your Heaven, is because 

99
00:05:08,100 --> 00:05:11,200
Jesus Christ, your son died on a
cross for me. 

100
00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:13,400
And I've received him as my Lord
and Savior. 

101
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:15,600
That's the only way I can get 
into your Heaven. 

102
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:19,200
If you say that, well, then God 
will smile back to you and say, 

103
00:05:19,300 --> 00:05:21,800
Well, done, good and faithful 
servant. 

104
00:05:21,900 --> 00:05:26,400
I wonder I wonder if this is 
really sinking in that you will 

105
00:05:26,500 --> 00:05:29,300
burn in hell for all of 
eternity. 

106
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:31,800
If You reject, the Lord, Jesus 
Christ. 

107
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:35,100
Daniel Radcliffe was right in 
one level, by saying, you only 

108
00:05:35,100 --> 00:05:37,600
get one chance. 
You only get one life and you 

109
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:41,800
only get one life to give your 
life to Jesus Christ. 

110
00:05:41,900 --> 00:05:45,300
And my friends, I'm asking you, 
if you have not yet done that, 

111
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:48,800
will you do it now, will you 
turn to the one who on the 

112
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:51,000
cross? 
Lay down his life. 

113
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:55,000
So that you might be forgiven 
the one who endured the horrors,

114
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:57,800
the torment. 
The agony of the cross for your 

115
00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:00,500
sin, for your blasphemy, for all
the, Route things. 

116
00:06:00,500 --> 00:06:03,700
You've looked at for all your 
lies for all your hatred, for 

117
00:06:03,700 --> 00:06:05,600
all the hurt you've caused in 
this world. 

118
00:06:05,700 --> 00:06:09,100
All of that sin was, if you like
scrunched up into a ball and 

119
00:06:09,100 --> 00:06:11,000
embedded on the Lord Jesus 
Christ. 

120
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:14,800
And there on the cross, God 
punished Jesus Christ. 

121
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:18,500
Hebrews the Lord. 
He crushed him so that you might

122
00:06:18,500 --> 00:06:21,100
be forgiven believe. 
On the Lord. 

123
00:06:21,100 --> 00:06:23,300
Jesus Christ. 
The one who died, he laid down 

124
00:06:23,300 --> 00:06:26,800
his life, but on the third day 
he took it up again. 

125
00:06:26,900 --> 00:06:29,700
He rose from the dead showing 
every man. 

126
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:33,400
He woman in all of the world 
that he really was God In the 

127
00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:37,300
Flesh, he did The Impossible and
he brought himself back to life.

128
00:06:37,300 --> 00:06:39,700
That is the man. 
You need to give your life to 

129
00:06:39,900 --> 00:06:41,800
that is the man you need to 
trust. 

130
00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:45,200
That is the man who will snatch 
you out of the very fires of 

131
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:48,400
hell, and give you eternal life 
and bring you into Glory into 

132
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:51,700
the presence of the Lord, for 
all of eternity, okay? 

133
00:06:51,700 --> 00:06:54,600
I know you might have a million 
distractions in your mind right 

134
00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:57,000
now. 
I know you might be super busy 

135
00:06:57,200 --> 00:07:01,100
but I plead with you. 
If right now you Here, the Lord 

136
00:07:01,100 --> 00:07:05,000
Jesus Christ whispering in your 
ear and I mean audibly, but in 

137
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:09,600
your spirit, he's pressing on. 
You come to me, I beg you, 

138
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:13,600
answer his call because this 
might be your very last chance 

139
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:16,900
to believe and repent and come 
to Christ. 

140
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:20,000
This might be your only 
opportunity you get and I want 

141
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:23,600
you to take it right now with 
both hands, you don't have to be

142
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:27,100
elegant, you don't have to have 
a magic spell that you say, you 

143
00:07:27,100 --> 00:07:29,700
just need to cry out and say 
Lord. 

144
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:34,300
God have mercy on me, save me a 
sinner, but if you are a 

145
00:07:34,300 --> 00:07:38,000
Christian, you want to know, is 
it acceptable for Christians to 

146
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:40,800
read the Harry Potter books and 
to watch the films? 

147
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:42,600
Is that okay for Christians to 
do? 

148
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:45,100
Well, my opinion is this and 
know this. 

149
00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:47,900
I'm not the authority on 
Christian things. 

150
00:07:47,900 --> 00:07:50,900
I'm Just Your Average Joe, but 
personally, I would tell 

151
00:07:50,900 --> 00:07:54,900
Christine's to get as far away 
from Harry Potter as possible 

152
00:07:55,100 --> 00:07:56,900
and not just Christians, 
everyone. 

153
00:07:56,900 --> 00:08:00,000
Let me put it this way. 
Suppose, I told you, I was Being

154
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:02,100
a book and you don't know what 
the book is. 

155
00:08:02,300 --> 00:08:05,300
And I've described one of the 
scenes, the scene takes place in

156
00:08:05,300 --> 00:08:09,300
a graveyard and there's this big
coldren and then a man picks up 

157
00:08:09,300 --> 00:08:14,300
this shriveled ugly little body 
and he drops in the coldren. 

158
00:08:14,900 --> 00:08:19,100
And so, this man comes up with a
knife and he cuts him and he 

159
00:08:19,100 --> 00:08:22,500
puts some of the blood in the 
coldren and stirs it. 

160
00:08:22,500 --> 00:08:27,000
He then takes his own wrist, his
own hand chops it off, and he 

161
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:31,400
drops that in the cold room. 
He then, I say some dark spells 

162
00:08:31,500 --> 00:08:36,100
and then suddenly this figure 
this dark figure in a cloak 

163
00:08:36,100 --> 00:08:39,500
Rises up from the coldren and 
he's been resurrected. 

164
00:08:39,500 --> 00:08:41,400
That's what they call the Dark 
Lord's. 

165
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:45,300
Resurrection, if you knew I was 
reading that book, you would say

166
00:08:45,300 --> 00:08:49,300
to me, Joe that sounds evil, 
that sounds dark. 

167
00:08:49,300 --> 00:08:51,900
I really would not recommend 
children to read that. 

168
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:54,900
And yet, that is what happens in
the Goblet of Fire. 

169
00:08:54,900 --> 00:08:59,200
When Voldemort is resurrected a 
stark friends, and I would just 

170
00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:02,200
warn you Children are watching 
it, your children are reading 

171
00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:05,200
these things. 
Think twice because the Bible 

172
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:09,300
says, we are to have nothing to 
do with sorcery. 

173
00:09:09,300 --> 00:09:12,700
Here's a long shot but maybe 
just, maybe you're watching this

174
00:09:12,700 --> 00:09:15,300
video now. 
And you're saying to me Joe, I 

175
00:09:15,300 --> 00:09:17,600
actually quite enjoyed the 
videos you make about 

176
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:20,800
celebrities, if that's you. 
Well there's a whole bunch of 

177
00:09:20,808 --> 00:09:22,800

178
00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:24,800
