00:14:25.740 --> 00:14:29.080
But<00:14:25.960><c> I</c><00:14:26.059><c> want</c><00:14:26.120><c> you</c><00:14:26.259><c> just</c><00:14:26.460><c> to</c><00:14:26.659><c> notice</c><00:14:27.000><c> that</c><00:14:27.480><c> when</c><00:14:27.799><c> opposition</c><00:14:28.440><c> rose,</c>

00:14:46.159 --> 00:14:49.159

00:15:07.980 --> 00:15:11.419
He<00:15:08.059><c> just</c><00:15:08.500><c> moved</c><00:15:08.720><c> out,</c><00:15:09.700><c> went</c><00:15:09.820><c> round</c><00:15:10.159><c> the</c><00:15:10.320><c> obstacle,</c>

00:15:11.679 --> 00:15:15.700
and<00:15:11.840><c> started</c><00:15:12.240><c> teaching</c><00:15:12.820><c> and</c><00:15:13.139><c> reasoning</c><00:15:13.639><c> somewhere</c><00:15:14.440><c> else.</c>

00:15:15.980 --> 00:15:17.460
Then<00:15:16.159><c> everyone</c><00:15:16.360><c> else</c><00:15:16.580><c> had</c><00:15:16.700><c> gone</c><00:15:16.879><c> away</c>

00:15:17.460 --> 00:15:20.379

00:15:27.419 --> 00:15:29.779
You<00:15:27.500><c> know,</c><00:15:27.620><c> when</c><00:15:27.779><c> we</c><00:15:28.039><c> come</c><00:15:28.240><c> up</c><00:15:28.460><c> against</c><00:15:28.820><c> those</c><00:15:29.159><c> who</c><00:15:29.399><c> oppose</c>

00:15:36.980 --> 00:15:39.440
we're<00:15:37.159><c> the</c><00:15:37.259><c> only</c><00:15:37.519><c> people</c><00:15:37.820><c> who</c><00:15:38.000><c> open</c><00:15:38.179><c> it</c><00:15:38.320><c> with</c><00:15:38.460><c> a</c><00:15:38.600><c> big</c><00:15:38.840><c> grin</c><00:15:39.059><c> and</c><00:15:39.279><c> say,</c>

Come<00:15:39.759><c> in!</c>

00:15:43.779 --> 00:15:45.799
Little<00:15:44.139><c> do</c><00:15:44.299><c> they</c><00:15:44.500><c> know</c><00:15:44.779><c> what</c><00:15:44.940><c> they're</c><00:15:45.159><c> letting</c><00:15:45.379><c> themselves</c>

in<00:15:46.179><c> for.</c>

00:15:48.299 --> 00:15:51.259
But<00:15:48.440><c> the</c><00:15:48.580><c> apostle</c><00:15:48.879><c> Paul,</c><00:15:49.139><c> you</c><00:15:49.200><c> see,</c><00:15:49.360><c> time</c><00:15:49.779><c> is</c><00:15:49.960><c> too</c><00:15:50.259><c> valuable.</c>

00:15:51.679 --> 00:15:54.399
We're<00:15:52.279><c> not</c><00:15:52.399><c> here</c><00:15:52.639><c> to</c><00:15:52.740><c> win</c><00:15:52.899><c> the</c><00:15:53.259><c> arguments.</c>

00:15:54.960 --> 00:15:57.940
We're<00:15:55.559><c> here</c><00:15:56.000><c> to</c><00:15:56.320><c> win</c><00:15:56.620><c> disciples,</c>

00:15:58.799 --> 00:16:02.840
to<00:15:59.120><c> preach</c><00:15:59.500><c> the</c><00:15:59.779><c> Gospel</c><00:16:00.179><c> that</c><00:16:00.419><c> others</c><00:16:00.659><c> might</c><00:16:00.940><c> come</c><00:16:01.200><c> to</c><00:16:01.419><c> eternal</c><00:16:01.759><c> life.</c>

00:16:03.679 --> 00:16:06.480
And<00:16:03.899><c> so</c><00:16:04.320><c> that's</c><00:16:04.799><c> what</c><00:16:04.960><c> we</c><00:16:05.159><c> want</c><00:16:05.320><c> to</c><00:16:05.559><c> do.</c>

00:16:06.720 --> 00:16:08.779
So<00:16:06.879><c> let's</c><00:16:07.240><c> concentrate</c><00:16:07.700><c> on</c><00:16:07.919><c> that.</c>

00:16:08.840 --> 00:16:10.620
Let's<00:16:09.179><c> not</c><00:16:09.440><c> satisfy</c><00:16:09.899><c> our</c><00:16:10.139><c> own</c><00:16:10.320><c> egos</c>

00:16:10.620 --> 00:16:12.320
and<00:16:10.840><c> let's</c><00:16:11.039><c> not</c><00:16:11.279><c> satisfy</c><00:16:11.580><c> our</c><00:16:11.779><c> own</c><00:16:12.059><c> pride.</c>

00:16:12.620 --> 00:16:15.580
Let's<00:16:12.799><c> not</c><00:16:13.100><c> satisfy</c><00:16:13.659><c> our</c><00:16:14.080><c> own</c><00:16:14.419><c> natural</c><00:16:14.840><c> desires,</c>

00:16:15.580 --> 00:16:18.659
but<00:16:16.100><c> let's</c><00:16:16.799><c> subvert</c><00:16:17.419><c> and</c><00:16:17.820><c> submit</c><00:16:18.299><c> that</c>

00:16:21.179 --> 00:16:23.419
which<00:16:21.360><c> is</c><00:16:21.580><c> to</c><00:16:21.860><c> teach</c><00:16:22.100><c> the</c><00:16:22.340><c> Gospel.</c>

00:16:24.379 --> 00:16:27.179
So<00:16:24.620><c> it</c><00:16:24.840><c> was</c><00:16:25.019><c> that</c><00:16:25.240><c> the</c><00:16:25.399><c> apostle</c><00:16:25.679><c> Paul</c><00:16:25.919><c> here</c><00:16:26.139><c> in</c><00:16:26.399><c> Ephesus</c>

Now<00:16:31.899><c> you</c><00:16:32.039><c> see,</c><00:16:32.220><c> when</c><00:16:32.379><c> you</c><00:16:32.620><c> come</c><00:16:32.879><c> to</c><00:16:34.259><c> Paul's</c><00:16:34.980><c> second</c><00:16:35.100><c> letter</c><00:16:35.340><c> to</c><00:16:35.559><c> Timothy,</c>

00:17:04.119 --> 00:17:06.319

You're<00:17:54.200><c> teaching,</c><00:17:55.160><c> not</c><00:17:55.380><c> preaching.</c>

00:39:36.599 --> 00:39:39.639
Eyes<00:39:37.239><c> that</c><00:39:37.579><c> saw</c><00:39:37.900><c> not,</c><00:39:38.179><c> ears</c><00:39:38.659><c> that</c><00:39:39.119><c> heard</c><00:39:39.320><c> not,</c>

And<00:40:04.199><c> that</c><00:40:04.460><c> is</c><00:40:04.980><c> the</c><00:40:05.239><c> life</c><00:40:05.639><c> and</c><00:40:05.900><c> the</c><00:40:06.039><c> death</c>

00:40:09.860 --> 00:40:13.260
So<00:40:10.079><c> you</c><00:40:10.519><c> give</c><00:40:10.940><c> voice</c><00:40:11.559><c> to</c><00:40:12.239><c> that.</c>

and<00:43:20.800><c> you</c><00:43:20.920><c> wouldn't</c><00:43:21.119><c> get</c><00:43:21.320><c> people</c><00:43:21.619><c> to</c><00:43:21.880><c> believe</c><00:43:22.019><c> them.</c>

00:43:22.280 --> 00:43:24.420
It<00:43:22.480><c> doesn't</c><00:43:22.480><c> matter</c><00:43:22.659><c> how</c><00:43:22.980><c> grotesque</c><00:43:23.860><c> you</c><00:43:24.119><c> make</c>

00:43:26.039 --> 00:43:27.260
When<00:43:26.139><c> you</c><00:43:26.380><c> wrap</c><00:43:26.539><c> her</c><00:43:26.679><c> in</c><00:43:26.780><c> a</c><00:43:26.940><c> temple</c>

then<00:43:29.099><c> you</c><00:43:29.340><c> give</c><00:43:29.480><c> them</c><00:43:29.840><c> a</c><00:43:30.000><c> semblance</c><00:43:30.380><c> of</c><00:43:30.719><c> reality</c><00:43:31.099><c> and</c><00:43:31.460><c> truth</c>

00:43:31.719 --> 00:43:34.659
because<00:43:32.199><c> they</c><00:43:32.440><c> have</c><00:43:32.780><c> the</c><00:43:33.159><c> trappings</c><00:43:33.460><c> of</c><00:43:33.840><c> truth.</c>

00:43:34.900 --> 00:43:36.440
And<00:43:35.079><c> that's</c><00:43:35.320><c> the</c><00:43:35.420><c> thing</c><00:43:35.500><c> we</c><00:43:35.619><c> have</c><00:43:35.780><c> to</c><00:43:35.940><c> beware</c><00:43:36.280><c> of</c>

but<00:43:40.219><c> they</c><00:43:40.420><c> are</c><00:43:40.659><c> not</c><00:43:40.880><c> the</c><00:43:41.159><c> truth.</c>

00:43:42.800 --> 00:43:45.440
You<00:43:43.059><c> know,</c><00:43:43.400><c> there's</c><00:43:44.159><c> a</c><00:43:44.260><c> very</c><00:43:44.460><c> interesting</c><00:43:44.760><c> example</c>

in<00:43:46.039><c> 2</c><00:43:46.199><c> Kings</c><00:43:46.440><c> 16,</c><00:43:46.920><c> isn't</c><00:43:47.079><c> there,</c><00:43:47.420><c> of</c><00:43:47.420><c> Ahaz</c>

00:43:48.380 --> 00:43:51.000
who<00:43:48.659><c> went</c><00:43:48.860><c> off</c><00:43:49.219><c> to</c><00:43:49.400><c> one</c><00:43:49.639><c> city</c><00:43:49.940><c> and</c><00:43:50.179><c> saw</c><00:43:50.280><c> another</c><00:43:50.599><c> altar</c>

00:43:51.000 --> 00:43:52.199

00:43:52.199 --> 00:43:54.980
So<00:43:52.820><c> he</c><00:43:53.019><c> said,</c><00:43:53.300><c> I</c><00:43:53.300><c> like</c><00:43:53.480><c> the</c><00:43:53.679><c> design</c><00:43:53.980><c> of</c><00:43:54.159><c> that</c>

00:43:55.300 --> 00:43:57.059
so<00:43:55.699><c> I'll</c><00:43:56.099><c> send</c><00:43:56.199><c> the</c><00:43:56.400><c> instructions</c><00:43:56.719><c> back</c>

00:43:59.179 --> 00:44:01.280
and<00:43:59.840><c> they</c><00:44:00.119><c> moved</c><00:44:00.360><c> the</c><00:44:00.679><c> original</c><00:44:01.019><c> one</c>

00:44:01.280 --> 00:44:02.539

00:44:02.539 --> 00:44:03.599
and<00:44:02.719><c> so</c><00:44:02.840><c> they</c><00:44:03.039><c> worshipped</c><00:44:03.380><c> on</c><00:44:03.539><c> that.</c>

00:44:03.659 --> 00:44:04.480
Now<00:44:03.719><c> there</c><00:44:03.800><c> was</c><00:44:03.940><c> still</c><00:44:04.139><c> an</c><00:44:04.300><c> altar</c>

00:44:07.400 --> 00:44:09.360
No,<00:44:07.619><c> because</c><00:44:07.820><c> what</c><00:44:08.039><c> did</c><00:44:08.179><c> the</c><00:44:08.300><c> altar</c><00:44:08.500><c> represent,</c><00:44:09.179><c> brethren</c>

The<00:44:10.599><c> altar</c><00:44:10.940><c> represented</c><00:44:11.639><c> the</c><00:44:11.900><c> Lord</c><00:44:12.139><c> Jesus</c><00:44:12.579><c> Christ.</c>

00:44:15.179 --> 00:44:17.860

00:44:27.039 --> 00:44:30.179
And<00:44:27.099><c> so</c><00:44:27.239><c> here</c><00:44:27.619><c> in</c><00:44:27.980><c> Babel</c><00:44:28.340><c> on</c><00:44:28.619><c> the</c><00:44:28.880><c> plain</c><00:44:29.239><c> of</c><00:44:29.639><c> Shinar</c>

00:44:33.679 --> 00:44:36.599
They<00:44:33.860><c> wanted</c><00:44:34.139><c> their</c><00:44:34.420><c> city</c><00:44:34.840><c> and</c><00:44:35.239><c> they</c><00:44:35.300><c> wanted</c><00:44:35.619><c> their</c><00:44:36.059><c> religion</c>

00:46:48.300 --> 00:46:50.000
The<00:46:48.380><c> house</c><00:46:48.639><c> of</c><00:46:48.940><c> God,</c><00:46:49.099><c> as</c><00:46:49.260><c> we</c><00:46:49.360><c> shall</c><00:46:49.559><c> see</c><00:46:49.679><c> tomorrow,</c>

00:46:53.840 --> 00:46:56.980
And<00:46:54.019><c> I</c><00:46:54.260><c> would</c><00:46:54.420><c> just</c><00:46:54.599><c> ask</c><00:46:54.860><c> you</c><00:46:55.079><c> a</c><00:46:55.079><c> question,</c><00:46:55.699><c> brothers</c><00:46:55.820><c> and</c><00:46:55.880><c> sisters.</c>

00:46:57.079 --> 00:46:59.679
Just<00:46:57.440><c> think</c><00:46:57.739><c> about</c><00:46:58.079><c> your</c><00:46:58.440><c> ecclesial</c><00:46:58.980><c> life</c>

00:46:59.679 --> 00:47:02.920
and<00:47:00.639><c> think</c><00:47:00.820><c> about</c><00:47:01.099><c> some</c><00:47:01.360><c> of</c><00:47:01.480><c> the</c><00:47:01.800><c> practices</c><00:47:02.280><c> and</c><00:47:02.639><c> habits</c>

00:47:02.920 --> 00:47:04.920
that<00:47:03.139><c> you</c><00:47:03.360><c> have</c><00:47:03.559><c> in</c><00:47:03.760><c> ecclesial</c><00:47:04.179><c> life</c>

00:47:04.920 --> 00:47:08.760
and<00:47:05.659><c> ask</c><00:47:06.000><c> yourself</c><00:47:06.360><c> if</c><00:47:06.699><c> every</c><00:47:07.119><c> single</c><00:47:07.559><c> thing</c><00:47:07.900><c> you</c><00:47:08.199><c> do</c>

00:47:08.760 --> 00:47:13.920
has<00:47:09.320><c> got</c><00:47:09.500><c> a</c><00:47:09.780><c> scriptural</c><00:47:10.440><c> basis</c><00:47:11.000><c> for</c><00:47:11.920><c> doing</c><00:47:12.179><c> it.</c>

00:47:15.019 --> 00:47:19.619
Or<00:47:15.139><c> if</c><00:47:15.300><c> some</c><00:47:15.500><c> of</c><00:47:15.659><c> them,</c><00:47:16.539><c> well,</c><00:47:17.219><c> we've</c><00:47:17.440><c> always</c><00:47:17.840><c> done</c><00:47:18.119><c> it</c><00:47:18.300><c> this</c><00:47:18.500><c> way</c>

00:47:19.679 --> 00:47:21.679
and<00:47:20.039><c> it</c><00:47:20.280><c> seems</c><00:47:20.440><c> to</c><00:47:20.719><c> work.</c>

00:47:21.699 --> 00:47:23.699
It's<00:47:21.719><c> not</c><00:47:21.960><c> broke,</c><00:47:22.219><c> don't</c><00:47:22.480><c> mend</c><00:47:22.639><c> it.</c>

00:47:23.920 --> 00:47:26.579
But<00:47:24.239><c> that's</c><00:47:24.460><c> not</c><00:47:24.659><c> the</c><00:47:24.780><c> attitude,</c><00:47:25.300><c> brothers</c><00:47:25.400><c> and</c><00:47:25.599><c> sisters.</c>

00:47:26.659 --> 00:47:28.860
Because<00:47:26.760><c> if</c><00:47:26.880><c> it</c><00:47:27.099><c> shouldn't</c><00:47:27.280><c> be</c><00:47:27.579><c> there</c><00:47:27.719><c> in</c><00:47:27.920><c> the</c><00:47:28.059><c> first</c><00:47:28.280><c> place,</c>

00:47:28.860 --> 00:47:32.159
then<00:47:29.639><c> it's</c><00:47:30.179><c> actually</c><00:47:31.019><c> blotting</c><00:47:31.440><c> out</c><00:47:31.800><c> something</c>

00:47:32.159 --> 00:47:33.340
that<00:47:32.400><c> should</c><00:47:32.579><c> be</c><00:47:32.820><c> there.</c>

00:47:33.800 --> 00:47:36.980
I'll<00:47:33.940><c> give</c><00:47:34.000><c> you</c><00:47:34.159><c> a</c><00:47:34.239><c> little</c><00:47:34.460><c> thing</c><00:47:35.800><c> to</c><00:47:36.039><c> think</c><00:47:36.320><c> about.</c>

00:47:37.360 --> 00:47:41.280
Hands<00:47:37.639><c> up</c><00:47:37.840><c> if</c><00:47:38.000><c> you</c><00:47:38.280><c> vote</c><00:47:38.699><c> in</c><00:47:38.980><c> your</c><00:47:39.219><c> ecclesia.</c>

00:47:45.860 --> 00:47:46.980
Anything,<00:47:46.420><c> anything.</c>

00:47:47.099 --> 00:47:48.840
Do<00:47:47.199><c> you</c><00:47:47.280><c> vote,</c><00:47:47.599><c> you</c><00:47:47.619><c> know,</c><00:47:47.880><c> sort</c><00:47:48.079><c> of.</c>

00:47:49.039 --> 00:47:51.139
And<00:47:49.320><c> the</c><00:47:49.500><c> majority</c><00:47:49.960><c> wins.</c>

00:47:56.059 --> 00:47:57.960
Well,<00:47:56.619><c> that's</c><00:47:56.920><c> interesting.</c>

00:47:58.320 --> 00:48:00.820
Would<00:47:58.780><c> you</c><00:47:58.940><c> like</c><00:47:59.059><c> to</c><00:47:59.300><c> expand</c><00:47:59.599><c> on</c><00:47:59.880><c> that?</c>

00:48:02.800 --> 00:48:05.440
So<00:48:03.219><c> what</c><00:48:03.420><c> do</c><00:48:03.519><c> you</c><00:48:03.639><c> vote</c><00:48:03.880><c> for</c><00:48:04.099><c> if</c><00:48:04.239><c> it</c><00:48:04.420><c> isn't</c><00:48:04.639><c> for</c><00:48:04.880><c> the</c><00:48:05.039><c> majority</c>

00:48:05.440 --> 00:48:07.460
to<00:48:05.760><c> express</c><00:48:06.039><c> their</c><00:48:06.280><c> opinion?</c>

00:48:09.219 --> 00:48:12.260
So<00:48:09.400><c> every</c><00:48:09.679><c> time</c><00:48:09.880><c> the</c><00:48:10.099><c> majority</c><00:48:10.559><c> win,</c><00:48:11.000><c> who</c><00:48:11.239><c> loses?</c>

00:48:13.420 --> 00:48:15.780
So<00:48:13.659><c> all</c><00:48:13.820><c> you've</c><00:48:14.000><c> done</c><00:48:14.159><c> is</c><00:48:14.360><c> create</c><00:48:14.639><c> a</c><00:48:14.880><c> division.</c>

00:48:17.739 --> 00:48:19.920
Now<00:48:17.860><c> is</c><00:48:17.920><c> that</c><00:48:18.059><c> what</c><00:48:18.239><c> scripture</c><00:48:18.460><c> tells</c><00:48:18.739><c> you</c><00:48:18.920><c> to</c><00:48:19.059><c> do?</c>

00:48:20.519 --> 00:48:22.400
Create<00:48:20.800><c> division</c><00:48:21.179><c> in</c><00:48:21.380><c> the</c><00:48:21.519><c> ecclesia?</c>

00:48:23.320 --> 00:48:25.519
Or<00:48:23.460><c> does</c><00:48:23.599><c> it</c><00:48:23.659><c> tell</c><00:48:23.860><c> you</c><00:48:24.019><c> to</c><00:48:24.239><c> create</c><00:48:24.440><c> unity</c><00:48:24.840><c> in</c><00:48:25.059><c> the</c><00:48:25.159><c> ecclesia?</c>

00:48:25.519 --> 00:48:28.760
Now<00:48:26.519><c> I</c><00:48:26.679><c> belonged</c><00:48:26.940><c> to</c><00:48:27.139><c> an</c><00:48:27.300><c> ecclesia</c><00:48:27.659><c> on</c><00:48:28.079><c> one</c><00:48:28.360><c> occasion</c>

00:48:28.760 --> 00:48:30.920

00:48:46.139 --> 00:48:47.940
I<00:48:46.260><c> mean</c><00:48:46.320><c> you</c><00:48:46.380><c> could</c><00:48:46.559><c> get</c><00:48:46.659><c> the</c><00:48:46.840><c> ridiculous</c><00:48:47.300><c> situation</c>
