00:00
And that was the biggest shock to me:
00:02
that Christians are normal.
00:04
My name is Sanjay and this is my story.
00:07
When I left home, I did a
degree and then I did a Master's
00:10
and then I did a PhD.
00:11
I think that led me to then
I went on to do research
00:15
in biochemical engineering.
00:17
So I was educating myself, learning,
00:22
not really interested in God at all.
00:24
There can't be a God as far
as I was concerned then.
00:28
If you just look at the
world, how can there be a God?
00:32
I asked the same questions
every atheist asks.
00:36
I would say that the world
was created not by God
00:39
but by reactions that
are quite complicated,
00:44
but there's always the question,
"so what came before that?"
00:49
You think there has to be more.
00:51
My wife at the time was working,
00:54
so I looked after the children.
00:56
We had two, then we had
three, so I met a lot
00:59
of the women in the church
with their children.
01:02
Some of the ladies said, "oh
come to our church, come in,
01:06
come through." And I said,
01:08
"I'm not coming in your church building.
01:10
I'm not coming, I know
what you're trying to do.
01:12
It's not gonna work."
01:16
and they didn't con me,
they didn't trick me.
01:19
I didn't fall into Jesus by
trickery or anything like that.
01:23
They taught me and they
taught me in a very nice way.
01:27
So they were alright.
01:28
I thought, "these women are great.
01:29
They're alright, they're normal.
01:31
Nothing wrong with them.
01:32
I wonder what their husbands are like.
01:33
They must be a bit geeky.
01:34
They must be Christian weird men."
01:38
And then I met with the
men and it was amazing
01:42
because they were just like me.
01:44
We believe in things that there
are hardly any manuscripts
01:47
about and any data and we believe them
01:50
and yet there are thousands
of manuscripts about Jesus
01:53
and we don't believe that.
01:55
So, it doesn't add up and
you have to look at what,
01:59
even scientifically, you
have to look at what's there
02:02
and then look at it.
02:04
It points to the Bible and
it points to Jesus was there,
02:09
He did exist, He is true,
He was the son of God
02:14
and all those things.
02:15
It's pretty amazing when you wake up.
02:17
So I know I'm a sinner and
I know I needed to be saved
02:22
and once I understood
sin, then it became clear
02:27
cause I know I've been saved
from all the things I've done.
02:32
It's amazing Jesus did
that and I'm forgiven.
