00:44 absolute love, confidence and humility that God is Jesus Christ of Nazareth. All

00:51 these centuries, decades, we've been calling and crying and fighting for

01:05 to fight for what is the right to be a human, not human rights. In order to

01:15 finding out and knowing what is the purpose of the human, we need to go back

01:22 to the origin of this human and with all love and respect to every scientist, to

01:28 every professor, to every knowledgeable man and woman out there, with all love

01:32 and respect, the purpose of the human is written in Genesis 1, 1. In the

01:40 beginning Elohim created the heavens and the earth. God is the purpose to that

01:47 human.
