The Richest Caveman - The Doug Batchelor Story

[Quoted From: http://prophecycode.com/about-speaker.asp ]

Pastor Doug Batchelor

As a teenager, Doug Batchelor had everything money could buy—everything but happiness. His search led him to drugs, fights, and suicidal fantasies, but he still was convinced that life held no purpose. Before his search ended, a cave in the hills above Palm Springs became his home, and he eventually had to scavenge for food in garbage bins.

The happiness Doug wanted eluded him until the day he began reading the dust-covered Bible a fellow "searcher" had left in his cave. What happened next can only be described as a miracle!

His down-to-earth approach to living the Christian life stems from his own experiences. Pastor Doug is now President and Speaker for Amazing Facts Ministries, an international evangelistic organization incorporated as a denominational television ministry within the North American Division territory.

He is an energetic man of vision and deep spirituality with an unusual ability to communicate not only to church oriented people, but also to the millions of secular-minded people of today.

He is the author of five books and has a wife, Karen, and five children. View Doug Batchelor's testimony! "The Richest Caveman: The Doug Batchelor Story"

@HarlanLovestone i'm sorry were you asking a question? or stating that not keeping the sabbath for someone who knows better isn't pleasing God> that Iknow, I am a sabbath keeper, I in my original comment was making it a point to tell of God's goodness and that He will not hold that against believers who do not know better, God has people in lots of churches and all do not keep the seventh day, but don't know to do so. it is the rejection of the truth that displeases God.

[Mr28chance]

@Mr28chance so God put his blessing on that day and made it a sign that he is the creator, us working six days and resting the seventh is a sign to him of the belief in that and its the only commandment that begins with remember, yet people say its ok to change or forget, I respectfully disagree with that. I am always happy to talk about God any questions you have I would love to try and answer if it is something i've studied pretty well or will study it to try and help.

@imax1971 "An SDA member comparing Ellen to Jesus Christ.."

You seem to have a penchant for twisting words around. "By their fruits you shall know them." You certainly show yours.

So as to clarify; I do not compare Ellen White, nor anyone else, for that matter, to Christ. Secondly, while Christ is soon to return, you would do well to focus on that fact and stop trying to discredit the means by which God has chosen to reveal himself, whether you believe or not. Have a good day.

@MaranathaAgain Typical... An SDA member comparing Ellen to Jesus Christ.. Quick question. Is Jesus Christ the prime focus of your faith?

Imax1971 Fellow Christians, test the spirit of this pastor, thru his words!!! Research & even find fault if you like... If its necessary to satisfy yourselves... Post it here... I will be waiting for it. This pastor is also challenging you to test or compare DEEPER your belief system to his.... Matthew 13:3-17.... It's a parable from Jesus... Know where do you STAND.... Godbless. Amen

@MaranathaAgain , DOUGH is briliant.

Dough keep ON for I SHALL KEEP YOU.

[MaranathaAgain]

Also, IMAX, she clearly states that she did not quote the original author for the sole reason that she wanted the reader to stay focused on the content and not the author. Let me, also, draw your attention to the fact that Christ, when preaching, quoted many an Old Testament writer without giving credit to the author. Does this make Him a plagarist, too? Not at all!

[MaranathaAgain]

Yes, she did and she did not hide this fact. She clearly, and so do the publishers of her work, state that she took information from other authors of her time and used their material to clarify or highlight what she was trying to convey. This was very common in her day and she was not the only one who did this. As stated before, copyright laws were not in effect in her day so she did not, in the legal sense plagiarize anything.

[imax1971]

@MaranathaAgain Your response validates my point.. You just admitted that she quoted the writings of other authors...
