  Don't you worry one bit about the case, Darla.
• 0:07
  I intend to prove to the court and to just Spanky that you're a
• 0:11
  child of God. Are you sure you can do it
• 0:14
  alfalfa? Darla, there's no way he can win
• 0:18
  this case. I have proof that you are a
• 0:20
  child of your mom and dad. Therefore, you cannot be a child
• 0:24
  of God. Listen, Mr. Smarty Pants, Miles,
• 0:28
  the Bible says in John 112 But as many as received him, to them
• 0:32
  he gave the right to become children of God.
• 0:35
  What do you have to say about that?
• 0:40
  Here comes just spanking now. This court is now in session for
• 0:47
  the case of What child is this? I thought of that title.
• 0:52
  It's a Christmas. Song I could sing it if.
• 0:54
  You like? This court will now take a short
• 0:57
  recess. Your Honor, you can't do that.
• 1:00
  We haven't even started the case yet.
• 1:03
  This is my courtroom, Miles. I can do anything I want.
• 1:07
  If I say we take a recess, we take a recess, Alfalfa, I'll
• 1:12
  meet you on the slide. I was going to swing with Darla,
• 1:15
  Your honor. Suit yourself.
• 1:18
  Come on, Bailiff, let's go slide.
• 1:21
  Oh, Tay. Prosecutor, present your case.
• 1:29
  Your Honor, I intend to prove that Darla is not a child of God
• 1:32
  like she is telling everyone. She is in fact a child of her
• 1:36
  mother and father. I have here Exhibit AA copy of
• 1:40
  Darla's birth certificate. According to this, she is 10
• 1:43
  years old. Shame on you, Miles.
• 1:47
  A girl never tells her age. Alfalfa, do you have anything to
• 1:52
  say in Darla's defense? Spanky, I would like alfalfa.
• 1:57
  You're supposed to call me, Your Honor.
• 1:59
  Oh. I mean, your Honor.
• 2:01
  I would. Like to enter the Bible as
• 2:03
  Exhibit B John 112 says and I quote, But as many as received
• 2:09
  him, to them he gave the right to become children of God.
• 2:14
  We'll take a short recess while I look at the evidence, and then
• 2:17
  I'll give you my decision. Sorry, Buckwheat.
• 2:20
  You'll have to play on the slide without me.
• 2:23
  OK. While you were out playing on
• 2:30
  the playground, I was looking at all the evidence.
• 2:33
  This birth certificate, Miles, does prove that Darla's a child
• 2:37
  of her mother and father. There's no way to deny that
• 2:41
  fact. I'm sorry, Darla.
• 2:44
  It's okay Alfalfa, you did your. Best.
• 2:48
  You should have listened to me, Darla.
• 2:50
  I don't care. What you say, Miles?
• 2:52
  I live in the presence of God because.
• 2:54
  I'm his child. Order in the court.
• 2:58
  As I was saying, Darla is a child of her father and mother,
• 3:02
  but in light of the evidence, John 112.
• 3:06
  But as many as received him, to them he gave the right to become
• 3:10
  children of God. Darla, have you received Jesus
• 3:14
  as your Lord and Savior? Yes, I have, Your honor.
• 3:18
  Then, based on John 112, Darla is also a child of God.
• 3:25
  You did it, Alfalfa. You're my hero.
• 3:28
  But as many as received him, to them he gave the right to become
• 3:32
  children of God. John, 112.
• 3:35
  Now we'll take another recess, this time a long recess.
• 3:40
  Your honor, you're supposed to close the case so we can go
• 3:43
  home. I don't want to go home, I want
• 3:47
  to plan the playground. This is the only job that has
• 3:50
  more recesses than school. Come on Darla, let's go swim.
• 3:56
  It would be my pleasure, Alfalfa.
• 3:59
  Come on Buckwheat, let's play. Oh.
• 4:02
  Tay. OK, Heart, what's this all
• 4:20
  about? Look, Chloe, you ask Jesus to
• 4:23
  come live inside of me. Duh, that's a no brainer.
• 4:27
  Hold on a minute, I don't like that term.
• 4:30
  No brainer as your brain, Chloe. I happen to believe that asking
• 4:35
  Jesus into our heart was the smartest thing we've ever done.
• 4:39
  I agree, brain. And now that Jesus lives in me,
• 4:42
  aren't we supposed to do things his way?
• 4:45
  Exactly. I want us to obey God's word at
• 4:48
  all times. So why did you steal the soccer
• 4:51
  ball, Chloe? What soccer ball did I steal?
• 4:54
  Heart. The one you found in your
• 4:55
  neighbor's yard yesterday. Finders keepers, losers weepers.
• 5:00
  That's the rule. That's it's the world's rule,
• 5:03
  brain, not God's rule. Taking something out of someone
• 5:06
  else's yard is stealing. Taking things that don't belong
• 5:09
  to you is stealing. Stealing is a sin.
• 5:12
  Brain, why didn't you tell me that taking that soccer ball was
• 5:15
  a sin? I asked you if it was OK to take
• 5:18
  it. I thought it was.
• 5:20
  That's what I thought. Brain, you need to get renewed.
• 5:24
  What? And do not be conformed to this
• 5:27
  world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.
• 5:31
  Romans 12/2 What we change our behavior by renewing our minds
• 5:37
  to think in agreement with God's Word.
• 5:39
  I know what you're trying to do. You want to put me in a mental
• 5:44
  hospital? Mental Hospital.
• 5:48
  Talk about a no brainer. Hey, come back Brain, I need
• 5:51
  you. Is brain coming?
• 6:00
  He'll be here. Chloe, Are you ready?
• 6:02
  I have everything right here, heart, surgical mask, gloves and
• 6:07
  apron. I'm all ready.
• 6:09
  All right, here I am. Where do you want me?
• 6:13
  Lay down right where you are, brain.
• 6:16
  Thanks for not putting me in a mental hospital.
• 6:19
  You don't need a hospital, you have us.
• 6:21
  We are here to help you. Remember, we change our behavior
• 6:25
  by renewing our minds to think in agreement with God's Word.
• 6:29
  Tell me that verse again. And do not be conformed to this
• 6:32
  world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.
• 6:36
  Romans 12/2. OK, time to be transformed,
• 6:40
  brain. Hey, what are you dressed up
• 6:42
  like a doctor for? Because I'm going to do a little
• 6:45
  brain surgery. That was a good one.
• 6:51
  Where did brain go? Not again, brain.
• 6:55
  It was a joke. Come back Brain, we just want to
• 6:57
  help you. Promise me you won't do surgery
• 7:07
  on me. Promise brain, we just want to
• 7:10
  help you change your mind. Yeah, that's all.
• 7:13
  We'll all be a lot happier. Remember Romans 12 to and do.
• 7:17
  I know, I know and do not be conformed to this world, but be
• 7:22
  transformed by the renewing of your mind.
• 7:25
  I've been thinking about that verse a lot.
• 7:27
  You're already getting renewed, brain.
• 7:29
  You're thinking about God's. Word We change our behavior by
• 7:33
  renewing your mind with the word of God.
• 7:36
  So all I have to do is think about about God's word.
• 7:39
  Yes, it's called meditating on the Word.
• 7:43
  You know, imagining that you're doing what the word of God says.
• 7:47
  Yeah, that will help me to do what the word of God says.
• 7:50
  Wow, that's easier than I thought.
• 7:53
  Easier than brain surgery, huh? You can say that again.
• 8:10
  Hi Margaret, what you doing? You wouldn't understand.
• 8:13
  Yes, I would. No, you wouldn't.
• 8:16
  Would too. Would.
• 8:17
  Not why? Don't you try.
• 8:18
  Me because? You're just a child.
• 8:21
  I know I am, but what are you? I'm a mature woman, Dennis, and
• 8:25
  that's why I'm working on my science project.
• 8:27
  I did a science project once. I can dissect a frog.
• 8:32
  That's utterly and totally disgusting.
• 8:35
  My science project is to prove The Big Bang fairy and the
• 8:39
  evolution of the one celled amoeba that crawled out of the
• 8:43
  ocean, developed into a monkey and finally, over the course of
• 8:47
  millions of years, evolved into you.
• 8:50
  The Bible explains how I got here.
• 8:52
  You don't actually. Believe the Bible, Do you,
• 8:54
  Dennis? Of course I do, don't you?
• 8:57
  The Bible is just a book of fairy tales.
• 9:00
  It is not. His two.
• 9:02
  Well, I say, let God be true, but every man a liar.
• 9:06
  Romans 3/4. So I'm a.
• 9:09
  Girl. It's for girls too.
• 9:11
  Man means humans. I'm not talking to you anymore,
• 9:14
  Dennis. Some people just don't like
• 9:18
  hearing the truth. If I was going to evolve from
• 9:26
  something, I would want to evolve from a dinosaur.
• 9:30
  Why is? That because dinosaurs are big
• 9:33
  and strong like me. Dennis, you're so totally,
• 9:36
  awfully nothing like a dinosaur. I was just kidding.
• 9:40
  I don't believe in evolution. Whatever my teacher says, we
• 9:44
  came from monkeys and that's final.
• 9:47
  Oh yeah? Well just cause your teacher
• 9:49
  says it doesn't make it true. My teacher's been to college.
• 9:53
  That's where smart people go. I don't care, let God be true,
• 9:58
  but every man a liar. Romans 3/4.
• 10:01
  I'm going to close my eyes and cover my ears so I can't hear
• 10:05
  you. Let God be true, but every man a
• 10:08
  liar. Romans 34I.
• 10:11
  Still can't hear you? Is that a Bible you're reading?
• 10:20
  Margaret, it most certainly is. Dennis, do you have a problem
• 10:24
  with that? No, of course not what you're
• 10:26
  reading. The Bible.
• 10:27
  For it's for my science project, if you must know, I'm going to
• 10:32
  prove that God created man. I thought you were going to
• 10:35
  prove that man evolved. From a monkey.
• 10:37
  Dennis, I'm surprised at you. I thought you believed in the
• 10:41
  Bible. I do.
• 10:43
  Well then, let God be true, but every man a liar.
• 10:46
  Romans 3/4. Hey, that's my verse.
• 10:49
  It's in the Bible, Dennis, and the Bible's written to everyone,
• 10:53
  not just you, so it's not your. Verse.
• 10:56
  It's God's verse. So you did listen.
• 10:59
  Maybe I did, maybe I didn't. And if you try to tell people
• 11:03
  that I listen to you, they won't believe you because you're a
• 11:06
  boy, which is the same as a little man.
• 11:09
  Like God be true, but every man a liar.
• 11:12
  Romans 3-4 I'm leaving and don't follow me.
• 11:16
  Goodbye. I told you it's for girls too,
• 11:21
  Margaret. The blessings of God belong to
• 11:38
  those who have made Jesus their Lord and Savior.
• 11:42
  That's me. Excuse me buddy, I've been
• 11:45
  thinking a lot about Matthew 2237 today.
• 11:48
  I think we may have a problem. What kind of problem?
• 11:53
  If you love God with all your heart and soul and mind, how can
• 11:58
  you love anyone else? What do you mean?
• 12:02
  Well, if you love your mom and dad, does that mean you don't
• 12:05
  love God with all your heart, soul and mind?
• 12:09
  I don't know, I never thought about it like that before.
• 12:12
  I really love my mom and dad. Am I supposed to stop loving
• 12:17
  them? Oh no, I'm confused.
• 12:20
  It's probably my fault. I was confused first.
• 12:24
  Did I hear someone say? Confused.
• 12:27
  This is my chance to put a little.
• 12:28
  Fear on this kid. Hey kid, you'll never be able to
• 12:32
  live. For God.
• 12:34
  You love your mom and dad too much.
• 12:37
  Oh no. Oh no.
• 12:39
  What's the matter? You love your mom and dad too
• 12:42
  much, we'll never be able to live for God.
• 12:45
  Do you really think so? I think I do.
• 12:49
  You know what that means, don't you?
• 12:51
  You're going to hell. Oh, no.
• 12:54
  Oh no. What's the matter now?
• 12:57
  We're going to hell. Are you sure?
• 13:01
  I think I am. I don't want to go to hell, but
• 13:04
  I can't stop loving my parents. Ouch, all this thinking is
• 13:09
  hurting me. Dumb kid.
• 13:16
  What's going on, brain? Why is our body screaming?
• 13:19
  We've got a serious problem. What took you so long?
• 13:23
  I was meditating on Matthew 2237.
• 13:27
  Matthew 22. 37. Calm down.
• 13:32
  What's wrong with Matthew 2237? What's wrong with Matthew 2237?
• 13:38
  I'll tell you what's wrong with Matthew 2237.
• 13:41
  It says we're supposed to love God with all our heart, soul and
• 13:44
  mind. But I love my mom and dad and so
• 13:47
  I can't live for God and I'm going to go to hell and I don't
• 13:51
  want to. Is this a joke?
• 13:56
  What's really going on here? Heart, What are you looking for?
• 14:00
  Didn't you hear what she said? Yep, I heard what she said.
• 14:04
  It sounds like the devil has been giving you things to think
• 14:07
  about to make us afraid. I don't see any devils.
• 14:10
  Listen brain, the same Bible that tells us to love God with
• 14:14
  all our heart, soul and mind tells us to love our neighbors.
• 14:18
  And God wants us to love our parents.
• 14:21
  That's why he said to honor and obey our parents.
• 14:24
  Did you hear that body? Yeah, I feel better already.
• 14:29
  That's good thinking, heart. No, that's the Word of God.
• 14:32
  The more you love God, the more you'll love your parents and
• 14:35
  everyone else too. Then that settles it.
• 14:38
  As far as I'm concerned, Jesus is first in my life.
• 14:42
  I'm going to love the Lord my God with all my heart and soul.
• 14:46
  And with all my mind. I'm hungry.
• 14:50
  I think we should go raise the refrigerator.
• 14:52
  That's fine. Just remember, our body is the
• 14:55
  temple of the Holy Spirit. Eat healthy.
• 14:58
  Wait for me, guys. Oh, you, you just had to listen
• 15:09
  to that snake, didn't you? Well, why didn't you stop me if
• 15:13
  you didn't want me to eat that apple?
• 15:15
  You saw the whole thing. Oh, don't try and blame me for
• 15:18
  your mistake. God wants His children to be
• 15:21
  trustworthy, willing to accept responsibility for their
• 15:25
  actions. To him who knows the right thing
• 15:28
  to do and does not do it, to him it is sin.
• 15:32
  James 4/17. That's a verse from the New
• 15:36
  Testament. It hasn't even been written yet.
• 15:40
  I'm not the real eve, I'm just reading what's on the script.
• 15:45
  Hello. I got to go talk to Freddie
• 15:47
  about this. It's not right.
• 15:49
  When I come back, we'll start over from the top.
• 15:52
  Sorry about that. You just had to listen to that
• 16:00
  snake, didn't you? Why didn't you stop me if you
• 16:03
  didn't want me to eat that apple?
• 16:06
  Don't try to blame me for your mistake.
• 16:09
  God wants His children to be trustworthy, willing to accept
• 16:13
  responsibility for their actions.
• 16:15
  My actions. Why don't you accept
• 16:18
  responsibility for not making the serpent leave?
• 16:22
  God gave you authority, you know.
• 16:25
  Adam, where are you? That's God.
• 16:30
  Quick hide. Adam, why are you hiding behind
• 16:33
  a puppet stage? Should he say puppet stage?
• 16:37
  There wasn't a puppet stage in the Garden of Eden.
• 16:39
  Just go with it. Adam, what have you done?
• 16:44
  It wasn't me, it was the woman you gave.
• 16:47
  Me Adam, to him who knows the right thing to do and does not
• 16:52
  do it, To him it is sin. James 4/17.
• 16:56
  Why is he saying that? I thought we talked about that
• 16:59
  verse. Don't look at me, I'm not the
• 17:02
  director. To him who knows the right thing
• 17:05
  to do and does not do it, to him it is sin.
• 17:08
  James 4/17. Cut Freddie, can I talk to you
• 17:14
  for a minute? Not again.
• 17:17
  I said the verse, didn't I? Sorry Adam, where are you?
• 17:28
  Why are you hiding? I'm here.
• 17:31
  Adam, what have you done? It wasn't me, it was the woman
• 17:36
  you gave me. It wasn't my fault.
• 17:39
  It was the snake. He tricked me.
• 17:42
  I want my children to be trustworthy, willing to accept
• 17:46
  responsibility for their actions.
• 17:49
  Adam, from now on, you're going to have to work hard to make a
• 17:53
  living. And Eve, when you have children,
• 17:57
  you're going to have to work too.
• 18:00
  And the snake? Well, he's going to crawl around
• 18:02
  on his belly all of his life. The end.
• 18:06
  Now that was much better, especially having Freddie walk
• 18:10
  around instead of just talking, don't you think?
• 18:13
  I like the verse. To him who knows the right thing
• 18:16
  to do and does not do it. To him it is sin.
• 18:19
  James 4/17 That just says it all.
• 18:22
  I would have to agree. I know it's New Testament, but
• 18:26
  that's exactly what Adam was going through and like so many
• 18:29
  people today, to him who knows the right thing to do but does
• 18:34
  not do it, to him it is sin. James 4/17.
• 18:38
  You're right. OK, let's do it again.
• 18:41
  Can't I got to go home and feed the kids?
• 18:44
  See ya. Yeah, I can't either.
• 18:47
  I've got a dentist appointment. I'm getting my teeth cleaned.
