00:12:44.820 --> 00:12:48.700
So<00:12:45.240><c> I,</c><00:12:45.779><c> like</c><00:12:45.919><c> many</c><00:12:46.179><c> of</c><00:12:46.399><c> you,</c><00:12:46.639><c> like</c><00:12:47.000><c> probably</c><00:12:47.940><c> all</c><00:12:48.419><c> the</c><00:12:48.539><c> Chris</c>

00:12:53.340 --> 00:12:59.919

the<00:13:07.700><c> context</c><00:13:08.179><c> of</c><00:13:08.500><c> truth.</c>

00:13:09.379 --> 00:13:13.299
That's<00:13:09.799><c> important</c><00:13:10.059><c> to</c><00:13:10.299><c> us</c><00:13:10.980><c> in</c><00:13:11.679><c> light</c><00:13:11.860><c> of</c><00:13:12.039><c> what</c><00:13:12.340><c> John</c><00:13:12.639><c> said</c><00:13:12.899><c> when</c><00:13:13.039><c> he</c>

00:13:16.309 --> 00:13:23.259

00:13:26.860 --> 00:13:32.240
And<00:13:27.200><c> that's</c><00:13:28.039><c> where</c><00:13:28.440><c> our</c><00:13:29.679><c> our</c><00:13:30.039><c> efforts</c><00:13:30.720><c> have</c><00:13:31.580><c> turned</c><00:13:31.860><c> in</c><00:13:32.080><c> the</c>

Chris<00:13:34.500><c> Elfins</c><00:13:34.980><c> have</c><00:13:35.179><c> experienced</c><00:13:35.779><c> over</c><00:13:36.059><c> the</c><00:13:36.259><c> last</c><00:13:36.879><c> 150</c><00:13:37.539><c> years</c>

00:13:40.360 --> 00:13:47.120
That's<00:13:40.840><c> the</c><00:13:41.039><c> reason</c><00:13:41.740><c> those</c><00:13:42.440><c> fellowships</c><00:13:43.379><c> have</c><00:13:43.940><c> have</c><00:13:44.399><c> established</c><00:13:44.860><c> themselves</c><00:13:45.519><c> in</c><00:13:46.360><c> a</c><00:13:46.659><c> disparity,</c>

00:13:48.299 --> 00:13:53.840
There's<00:13:48.559><c> a</c><00:13:48.740><c> difference</c><00:13:48.940><c> of</c><00:13:49.179><c> opinion</c><00:13:49.460><c> as</c><00:13:49.740><c> to</c><00:13:50.159><c> to</c><00:13:50.419><c> what</c><00:13:51.440><c> the</c><00:13:52.679><c> priority</c><00:13:53.179><c> should</c><00:13:53.440><c> be</c>

00:13:53.840 --> 00:13:55.820

00:13:58.659 --> 00:14:02.580
We<00:13:59.120><c> will</c><00:13:59.299><c> be</c><00:13:59.519><c> speaking</c><00:13:59.779><c> today</c><00:14:00.080><c> with</c><00:14:00.340><c> respect</c><00:14:00.740><c> to</c><00:14:00.940><c> that</c><00:14:01.100><c> difference</c><00:14:01.679><c> in</c><00:14:02.120><c> the</c>

00:14:08.840 --> 00:14:13.679
So<00:14:09.519><c> we'll</c><00:14:09.799><c> be</c><00:14:09.960><c> looking</c><00:14:10.139><c> at</c><00:14:10.379><c> fellowship</c><00:14:10.899><c> profiles</c><00:14:11.879><c> all</c><00:14:12.340><c> day.</c>

00:14:17.740 --> 00:14:24.000

00:14:32.620 --> 00:14:37.000
We<00:14:32.960><c> can't</c><00:14:33.440><c> think</c><00:14:33.679><c> about</c><00:14:33.980><c> this</c><00:14:34.399><c> without</c><00:14:34.700><c> a</c><00:14:34.980><c> high</c><00:14:35.379><c> degree</c><00:14:35.720><c> of</c><00:14:35.940><c> skepticism.</c>

00:14:38.960 --> 00:14:43.639
My<00:14:39.519><c> father</c><00:14:39.820><c> went</c><00:14:40.019><c> through</c><00:14:40.340><c> four</c><00:14:40.860><c> formal</c><00:14:41.399><c> efforts</c><00:14:42.039><c> in</c><00:14:42.460><c> this</c><00:14:42.679><c> country.</c>

00:14:46.340 --> 00:14:50.419
And<00:14:46.899><c> by</c><00:14:47.460><c> the</c><00:14:47.700><c> time</c><00:14:47.879><c> he</c><00:14:48.120><c> was</c><00:14:48.539><c> old</c><00:14:48.779><c> and</c><00:14:48.960><c> in</c><00:14:49.080><c> his</c><00:14:49.340><c> 80s</c><00:14:49.820><c> told</c><00:14:50.039><c> me,</c><00:14:50.279><c> he</c>

00:14:50.419 --> 00:14:51.899
said,<00:14:50.519><c> I</c><00:14:50.639><c> don't</c><00:14:50.840><c> ever</c><00:14:51.120><c> think</c><00:14:51.399><c> we</c><00:14:51.659><c> will</c>

00:14:55.320 --> 00:14:57.159
And<00:14:55.559><c> yet</c><00:14:55.700><c> we</c><00:14:55.899><c> know</c><00:14:56.100><c> it's</c><00:14:56.460><c> possible,</c><00:14:56.799><c> don't</c><00:14:57.000><c> we?</c>

00:14:57.179 --> 00:15:00.519
Because<00:14:57.440><c> we</c><00:14:57.700><c> have</c><00:14:57.940><c> two</c><00:14:58.360><c> continents</c><00:14:58.779><c> in</c><00:14:59.279><c> which</c><00:14:59.559><c> there</c><00:15:00.000><c> was</c><00:15:00.299><c> a</c>

precedent<00:15:00.899><c> for</c><00:15:01.620><c> reunion</c><00:15:02.100><c> in</c><00:15:03.120><c> England</c><00:15:03.519><c> and</c>

00:15:03.980 --> 00:15:04.500
Australia.

00:15:04.500 --> 00:15:07.659
And<00:15:05.340><c> they</c><00:15:05.519><c> managed</c><00:15:05.980><c> to</c><00:15:06.200><c> do</c><00:15:06.320><c> it.</c>

00:15:07.960 --> 00:15:12.559
So<00:15:08.179><c> that</c><00:15:08.740><c> that</c><00:15:09.059><c> gives</c><00:15:09.259><c> us</c><00:15:10.179><c> proof</c><00:15:10.620><c> that</c><00:15:11.159><c> it</c><00:15:11.299><c> can</c><00:15:11.419><c> be</c><00:15:11.620><c> done.</c>

00:15:13.059 --> 00:15:15.899
And<00:15:13.279><c> yet,</c><00:15:13.639><c> in</c><00:15:13.840><c> spite</c><00:15:14.059><c> of</c><00:15:14.259><c> that,</c><00:15:14.539><c> for</c><00:15:14.720><c> the</c><00:15:14.879><c> last</c><00:15:15.139><c> 50</c><00:15:15.399><c> years</c><00:15:15.620><c> or</c>

00:15:15.899 --> 00:15:17.840
so,<00:15:16.600><c> we've</c><00:15:16.820><c> not</c><00:15:17.000><c> been</c><00:15:17.179><c> able</c><00:15:17.340><c> to</c><00:15:17.500><c> do</c><00:15:17.659><c> it</c>

00:15:20.399 --> 00:15:21.879

00:15:21.899 --> 00:15:25.500
And<00:15:22.059><c> that</c><00:15:22.179><c> is</c><00:15:22.519><c> in</c><00:15:22.679><c> light</c><00:15:22.820><c> of</c><00:15:22.960><c> what</c><00:15:23.100><c> Jesus</c><00:15:23.379><c> said</c><00:15:23.639><c> when</c><00:15:23.840><c> he</c><00:15:24.600><c> said</c>

00:15:25.500 --> 00:15:27.279
the<00:15:25.720><c> master's</c><00:15:26.299><c> coming</c><00:15:26.460><c> would</c><00:15:26.639><c> be</c><00:15:26.879><c> delayed.</c>

00:15:27.279 --> 00:15:32.840
And<00:15:27.659><c> as</c><00:15:27.879><c> a</c><00:15:28.000><c> result</c><00:15:28.200><c> of</c><00:15:28.379><c> that</c><00:15:28.580><c> delay,</c><00:15:30.779><c> brethren</c><00:15:31.059><c> would</c><00:15:31.480><c> be</c><00:15:32.019><c> beating</c><00:15:32.379><c> on</c>

00:15:32.840 --> 00:15:34.320
one<00:15:32.960><c> another</c><00:15:33.320><c> and</c><00:15:33.940><c> they</c><00:15:34.120><c> would</c><00:15:34.240><c> be</c>

00:15:34.320 --> 00:15:37.820

00:15:38.500 --> 00:15:40.840
So<00:15:39.120><c> what</c><00:15:39.740><c> did</c><00:15:39.960><c> he</c><00:15:39.960><c> mean</c><00:15:40.100><c> to</c><00:15:40.240><c> say</c><00:15:40.419><c> by</c><00:15:40.620><c> that?</c>

00:15:41.240 --> 00:15:43.940
I<00:15:41.360><c> think</c><00:15:41.539><c> he</c><00:15:41.700><c> meant</c><00:15:42.019><c> generally</c><00:15:42.500><c> speaking,</c><00:15:42.980><c> in</c><00:15:43.080><c> the</c><00:15:43.220><c> last</c><00:15:43.480><c> days,</c><00:15:43.779><c> they</c>

00:15:56.799 --> 00:16:02.820
And<00:15:57.179><c> the</c><00:15:57.820><c> result</c><00:15:58.200><c> would</c><00:15:58.480><c> be</c><00:15:58.879><c> what</c><00:16:00.159><c> he</c><00:16:00.759><c> prophesied</c><00:16:01.659><c> would</c><00:16:02.100><c> affect</c><00:16:02.460><c> us</c>

00:16:02.820 --> 00:16:03.740
just<00:16:03.059><c> before</c><00:16:03.340><c> his</c><00:16:03.559><c> coming.</c>

00:16:03.740 --> 00:16:05.539
And<00:16:04.279><c> because</c><00:16:04.320><c> of</c><00:16:04.539><c> the</c><00:16:04.639><c> delay</c><00:16:04.840><c> specifically.</c>

00:16:05.899 --> 00:16:07.220

00:19:44.400 --> 00:19:47.960
So<00:19:44.740><c> that</c><00:19:45.079><c> brings</c><00:19:45.319><c> us</c><00:19:45.640><c> to</c><00:19:45.920><c> our</c><00:19:46.380><c> consideration</c><00:19:46.940><c> of</c><00:19:47.400><c> fellowship</c>

00:19:52.339 --> 00:19:56.119
And<00:19:53.059><c> somebody</c><00:19:53.779><c> once</c><00:19:54.019><c> said</c><00:19:54.220><c> ideas</c><00:19:54.539><c> have</c><00:19:54.799><c> consequences.</c>

00:21:16.299 --> 00:21:19.140
My<00:21:16.460><c> understanding</c><00:21:16.900><c> is</c><00:21:17.119><c> that</c><00:21:17.240><c> was</c><00:21:17.460><c> published</c><00:21:18.079><c> sometime</c><00:21:18.660><c> around</c><00:21:18.880><c> 1893.</c>

00:21:19.619 --> 00:21:22.960

00:21:25.920 --> 00:21:30.720

00:21:49.799 --> 00:21:52.779
I<00:21:50.019><c> know</c><00:21:50.220><c> better</c><00:21:50.460><c> than</c><00:21:50.640><c> to</c><00:21:50.799><c> do</c><00:21:51.000><c> that,</c><00:21:51.480><c> but</c><00:21:51.940><c> in</c><00:21:52.140><c> order</c><00:21:52.259><c> to</c><00:21:52.480><c> read</c><00:21:52.619><c> a</c>

a<00:21:54.200><c> letter</c><00:21:54.200><c> together,</c><00:21:54.559><c> we</c><00:21:54.720><c> have</c><00:21:55.039><c> to</c><00:21:55.140><c> put</c><00:21:55.400><c> the</c><00:21:55.619><c> letter</c><00:21:55.839><c> up.</c>

00:21:56.460 --> 00:21:58.059
Otherwise,<00:21:56.740><c> I'm</c><00:21:56.859><c> going</c><00:21:56.960><c> to</c><00:21:57.079><c> stand</c><00:21:57.220><c> here</c><00:21:57.339><c> with</c><00:21:57.420><c> a</c><00:21:57.500><c> piece</c><00:21:57.619><c> of</c><00:21:57.799><c> paper.</c>

00:21:58.140 --> 00:22:00.299
I<00:21:58.160><c> think</c><00:21:58.259><c> it's</c><00:21:58.359><c> better</c><00:21:58.579><c> if</c><00:21:58.720><c> you</c><00:21:58.779><c> see</c><00:21:58.940><c> the</c><00:21:59.079><c> words</c><00:21:59.380><c> yourself.</c>

00:22:00.400 --> 00:22:03.500

00:22:08.539 --> 00:22:11.759

00:23:14.059 --> 00:23:17.720
He's<00:23:14.960><c> saying</c><00:23:15.180><c> that</c><00:23:15.420><c> this</c><00:23:15.619><c> is</c><00:23:15.720><c> what</c><00:23:15.940><c> the</c><00:23:16.079><c> basis</c><00:23:16.339><c> of</c><00:23:16.619><c> fellowship</c><00:23:17.000><c> was.</c>

00:23:18.140 --> 00:23:22.960
This<00:23:18.480><c> clearly</c><00:23:18.880><c> conveyed</c><00:23:19.359><c> and</c><00:23:19.599><c> was</c><00:23:19.880><c> interpreted</c><00:23:20.339><c> by</c><00:23:20.700><c> all,</c><00:23:21.099><c> including</c><00:23:21.400><c> Brother</c><00:23:21.819><c> Andrew,</c><00:23:22.220><c> to</c><00:23:22.359><c> mean</c>

00:23:27.039 --> 00:23:31.220
So<00:23:27.180><c> this</c><00:23:27.619><c> precedes</c><00:23:28.660><c> the</c><00:23:29.339><c> change</c><00:23:29.740><c> in</c><00:23:30.079><c> the</c><00:23:30.279><c> statement</c><00:23:30.759><c> of</c><00:23:31.059><c> faith</c>

00:23:39.579 --> 00:23:42.599
About<00:23:39.819><c> three</c><00:23:40.119><c> years</c><00:23:40.359><c> ago,</c><00:23:40.700><c> however,</c><00:23:40.900><c> Brother</c><00:23:41.140><c> Andrew</c><00:23:41.420><c> suddenly</c><00:23:41.839><c> adopted</c><00:23:42.259><c> his</c>

00:23:43.259 --> 00:23:47.019
So<00:23:43.599><c> this</c><00:23:43.799><c> could</c><00:23:44.019><c> be</c><00:23:44.200><c> more</c><00:23:44.440><c> toward</c><00:23:45.200><c> 96,</c><00:23:45.880><c> actually</c><00:23:46.299><c> thinking</c><00:23:46.599><c> we</c>

And<00:23:57.019><c> there</c><00:23:57.200><c> was</c><00:23:57.359><c> a</c><00:23:57.559><c> tacit</c><00:23:57.819><c> agreement</c><00:23:58.200><c> not</c><00:23:58.480><c> to</c><00:23:58.740><c> strive</c><00:23:58.920><c> about</c><00:23:59.220><c> it.</c>

00:23:59.819 --> 00:24:03.000
This<00:24:00.019><c> attitude</c><00:24:00.339><c> is</c><00:24:00.559><c> maintained</c><00:24:01.019><c> by</c><00:24:01.400><c> many,</c><00:24:02.000><c> including</c><00:24:02.240><c> myself,</c><00:24:02.720><c> to</c><00:24:02.920><c> be</c>

00:24:03.640 --> 00:24:08.299
Even<00:24:03.960><c> now,</c><00:24:05.400><c> Brother</c><00:24:05.660><c> Andrew</c><00:24:06.200><c> would</c><00:24:06.779><c> not,</c><00:24:07.279><c> after</c><00:24:07.720><c> his</c><00:24:08.000><c> change</c>

00:24:10.140 --> 00:24:14.140
So<00:24:10.819><c> the</c><00:24:11.160><c> position</c><00:24:11.640><c> that</c><00:24:11.839><c> Christelfians</c><00:24:12.400><c> held</c><00:24:12.880><c> more</c><00:24:13.660><c> commonly</c>

00:24:17.519 --> 00:24:19.539
He<00:24:17.619><c> commenced</c><00:24:17.940><c> to</c><00:24:18.200><c> introduce</c><00:24:18.480><c> the</c><00:24:18.700><c> matter</c><00:24:18.920><c> into</c><00:24:19.160><c> lectures</c>

00:24:25.140 --> 00:24:28.319
This<00:24:25.819><c> was</c><00:24:26.359><c> the</c><00:24:26.619><c> beginning</c><00:24:26.940><c> of</c><00:24:27.299><c> strife.</c>

00:24:28.420 --> 00:24:31.700

00:25:43.720 --> 00:25:45.920
I<00:25:43.960><c> thought</c><00:25:44.140><c> at</c><00:25:44.380><c> best</c><00:25:44.599><c> you</c><00:25:44.839><c> should</c><00:25:45.019><c> be</c><00:25:45.240><c> in</c><00:25:45.420><c> possession</c><00:25:45.720><c> of</c>

00:26:33.539 --> 00:26:37.539
I<00:26:33.819><c> myself</c><00:26:34.099><c> actually</c><00:26:34.460><c> remember</c><00:26:34.980><c> when</c><00:26:35.700><c> my</c><00:26:36.220><c> parents</c><00:26:36.640><c> introduced</c>

00:26:45.700 --> 00:26:49.859
And<00:26:46.220><c> I</c><00:26:46.680><c> remember</c><00:26:47.220><c> at</c><00:26:47.579><c> the</c><00:26:47.779><c> time</c><00:26:48.000><c> my</c><00:26:48.200><c> mother</c><00:26:48.420><c> crying</c><00:26:49.000><c> and</c><00:26:49.519><c> I</c><00:26:49.640><c> asked</c><00:26:49.720><c> her</c>

00:26:49.859 --> 00:26:50.859
why<00:26:50.000><c> she</c><00:26:50.180><c> was</c><00:26:50.359><c> crying</c><00:26:50.640><c> and</c><00:26:50.759><c> it</c>

00:26:50.859 --> 00:26:52.759
was<00:26:51.019><c> because</c><00:26:51.319><c> they</c><00:26:51.480><c> were</c><00:26:51.680><c> trying</c><00:26:51.859><c> to</c><00:26:52.039><c> teach</c><00:26:52.200><c> them</c><00:26:52.359><c> the</c><00:26:52.579><c> truth.</c>

And<00:26:52.859><c> when</c><00:26:52.960><c> they</c><00:26:53.200><c> found</c><00:26:53.440><c> out</c><00:26:53.640><c> that</c><00:26:53.819><c> Christadelphians</c><00:26:54.500><c> were</c>

00:26:57.720 --> 00:27:00.240
This<00:26:57.940><c> upset</c><00:26:58.200><c> my</c><00:26:58.460><c> mother</c><00:26:58.660><c> so</c><00:26:58.940><c> much</c><00:26:59.079><c> that</c><00:26:59.259><c> she</c><00:26:59.500><c> started</c><00:26:59.720><c> to</c><00:26:59.980><c> cry</c>

00:27:01.940 --> 00:27:06.059
It<00:27:02.119><c> upset</c><00:27:02.380><c> me.</c><00:27:02.660><c> So</c><00:27:02.819><c> I</c><00:27:03.000><c> suppose</c><00:27:03.240><c> you</c><00:27:03.400><c> could</c><00:27:03.539><c> say</c><00:27:03.920><c> my</c><00:27:04.480><c> introduction</c><00:27:05.140><c> to</c><00:27:05.380><c> this</c><00:27:05.720><c> to</c>

this<00:27:07.180><c> idea</c><00:27:07.779><c> occurred</c><00:27:08.339><c> when</c><00:27:08.740><c> I</c><00:27:08.920><c> was</c><00:27:09.039><c> about</c><00:27:09.339><c> seven</c><00:27:09.619><c> years</c><00:27:09.920><c> old</c>

00:27:10.359 --> 00:27:13.079

00:27:18.980 --> 00:27:22.319
who<00:27:19.339><c> were</c><00:27:19.559><c> discouraged</c><00:27:20.140><c> because</c><00:27:20.720><c> of</c><00:27:21.019><c> our</c><00:27:21.160><c> disparity.</c>

00:27:23.259 --> 00:27:25.960
The<00:27:23.339><c> sole</c><00:27:23.519><c> thing,</c><00:27:23.759><c> therefore,</c><00:27:24.559><c> has</c><00:27:24.819><c> a</c><00:27:25.140><c> doctrinal</c><00:27:25.640><c> root.</c>

00:27:28.099 --> 00:27:33.500
It<00:27:28.200><c> is</c><00:27:28.440><c> critical</c><00:27:28.880><c> because</c><00:27:29.299><c> we</c><00:27:29.640><c> hold</c><00:27:30.140><c> to</c><00:27:31.099><c> the</c><00:27:31.319><c> truth</c><00:27:31.680><c> and</c><00:27:32.619><c> we</c><00:27:32.859><c> hold</c><00:27:33.019><c> that</c><00:27:33.240><c> no</c>

00:27:55.500 --> 00:27:58.480

00:27:59.759 --> 00:28:02.099

00:28:09.619 --> 00:28:12.839
I<00:28:10.220><c> changed</c><00:28:10.500><c> my</c><00:28:10.740><c> mind</c><00:28:10.920><c> for</c><00:28:11.099><c> one</c><00:28:11.299><c> reason,</c><00:28:11.819><c> and</c><00:28:11.920><c> that</c><00:28:12.099><c> was</c><00:28:12.339><c> I</c><00:28:12.559><c> felt</c>

00:28:12.839 --> 00:28:13.819
that<00:28:13.019><c> it</c><00:28:13.079><c> was</c><00:28:13.319><c> not</c><00:28:13.480><c> over.</c>

00:28:14.180 --> 00:28:17.500
I<00:28:14.359><c> would</c><00:28:14.599><c> probably</c><00:28:15.000><c> be</c><00:28:15.259><c> dealing</c><00:28:15.519><c> with</c><00:28:15.779><c> it</c><00:28:16.160><c> one</c><00:28:16.359><c> way</c><00:28:16.579><c> or</c><00:28:16.779><c> another</c><00:28:17.039><c> in</c><00:28:17.339><c> the</c>

00:28:18.940 --> 00:28:21.619

00:28:22.119 --> 00:28:26.960
It<00:28:22.319><c> was</c><00:28:22.599><c> probably</c><00:28:23.000><c> safe</c><00:28:23.319><c> now</c><00:28:24.339><c> at</c><00:28:24.920><c> my</c><00:28:25.400><c> age</c><00:28:25.619><c> of</c><00:28:25.799><c> 63</c><00:28:26.180><c> to</c><00:28:26.519><c> consider</c>

00:28:26.960 --> 00:28:28.579
the<00:28:27.200><c> things</c><00:28:27.380><c> in</c><00:28:27.539><c> it</c><00:28:27.660><c> without</c><00:28:27.880><c> being</c>

00:28:35.279 --> 00:28:41.000
I<00:28:35.960><c> felt</c><00:28:36.180><c> that</c><00:28:36.380><c> I</c><00:28:36.420><c> could</c><00:28:36.640><c> look</c><00:28:36.859><c> at</c><00:28:37.039><c> this</c><00:28:37.319><c> book</c><00:28:37.680><c> objectively</c><00:28:38.359><c> through</c><00:28:38.740><c> scripture</c><00:28:39.140><c> and</c><00:28:40.339><c> still</c>

00:28:41.000 --> 00:28:43.839
remain<00:28:41.519><c> where</c><00:28:41.799><c> I</c><00:28:41.960><c> was</c><00:28:42.200><c> in</c><00:28:42.480><c> the</c><00:28:42.599><c> place</c><00:28:42.759><c> of</c><00:28:43.000><c> my</c><00:28:43.220><c> faith</c><00:28:43.519><c> without</c>

00:28:45.480 --> 00:28:47.299
George.

00:29:44.059 --> 00:29:45.460
Andrew.

00:29:45.480 --> 00:29:46.480
Really?

00:29:51.279 --> 00:29:52.299
Yeah.

00:30:02.079 --> 00:30:05.240
So<00:30:02.599><c> I</c><00:30:03.119><c> will</c><00:30:03.380><c> be</c><00:30:03.539><c> getting</c><00:30:03.660><c> into</c><00:30:03.900><c> that,</c><00:30:04.299><c> not</c><00:30:04.440><c> not</c><00:30:04.579><c> in</c><00:30:04.759><c> this</c><00:30:04.980><c> part,</c>

00:30:05.359 --> 00:30:06.539
but<00:30:05.920><c> thank</c><00:30:06.160><c> you</c><00:30:06.240><c> for</c><00:30:06.339><c> bringing</c>

00:30:06.539 --> 00:30:08.680
that<00:30:06.759><c> up,</c><00:30:06.940><c> because</c><00:30:07.200><c> it's</c><00:30:07.380><c> an</c><00:30:07.660><c> important</c><00:30:07.940><c> thing</c><00:30:08.160><c> to</c><00:30:08.420><c> recognize.</c>

00:30:09.019 --> 00:30:12.740
So<00:30:09.339><c> important</c><00:30:09.700><c> in</c><00:30:09.859><c> fact</c><00:30:10.000><c> that</c><00:30:10.180><c> I've</c><00:30:10.440><c> dedicated</c><00:30:10.740><c> an</c><00:30:11.039><c> entire</c><00:30:11.400><c> section</c><00:30:11.839><c> on</c>

00:30:15.660 --> 00:30:18.220
Nevertheless,<00:30:16.799><c> this</c><00:30:16.920><c> thing</c><00:30:17.059><c> has</c><00:30:17.319><c> a</c><00:30:17.500><c> doctrinal</c><00:30:17.920><c> root.</c>

00:30:18.680 --> 00:30:21.000
And<00:30:18.740><c> the</c><00:30:18.920><c> question</c><00:30:19.480><c> is,</c><00:30:20.180><c> is</c><00:30:20.660><c> raised.</c>

00:30:21.319 --> 00:30:25.839
To<00:30:21.519><c> what</c><00:30:21.720><c> extent</c><00:30:22.259><c> do</c><00:30:22.460><c> we</c><00:30:22.759><c> create</c><00:30:23.160><c> some</c><00:30:23.539><c> kind</c><00:30:23.819><c> of</c><00:30:24.559><c> linkage,</c><00:30:25.380><c> direct</c><00:30:25.539><c> or</c>

00:30:27.539 --> 00:30:32.359
error<00:30:27.920><c> in</c><00:30:28.500><c> our</c><00:30:28.799><c> efforts</c><00:30:29.059><c> to</c><00:30:29.440><c> sustain</c><00:30:30.259><c> some</c><00:30:31.200><c> level</c><00:30:31.680><c> of</c><00:30:32.099><c> purity</c>

00:30:32.359 --> 00:30:34.200
as<00:30:32.599><c> best</c><00:30:32.839><c> we</c><00:30:33.079><c> can</c><00:30:33.420><c> in</c><00:30:33.700><c> the</c><00:30:33.880><c> things</c><00:30:34.019><c> that</c>

00:30:35.819 --> 00:30:38.220
But<00:30:36.000><c> what</c><00:30:36.140><c> I</c><00:30:36.240><c> would</c><00:30:36.380><c> like</c><00:30:36.519><c> everyone</c><00:30:36.799><c> here</c><00:30:37.119><c> to</c><00:30:37.359><c> know</c><00:30:37.599><c> is</c><00:30:37.960><c> when</c>

of<00:30:48.000><c> our</c><00:30:48.279><c> considerations</c><00:30:49.079><c> was</c><00:30:50.359><c> acceptance</c><00:30:51.160><c> of</c><00:30:51.359><c> the</c><00:30:51.559><c> BASF,</c><00:30:52.660><c> which</c><00:30:52.799><c> involved</c><00:30:53.119><c> acceptance</c><00:30:53.640><c> of</c><00:30:53.920><c> clause</c>

00:30:57.519 --> 00:31:01.660
And<00:30:57.819><c> then</c><00:30:57.980><c> we</c><00:30:58.240><c> learned</c><00:30:58.640><c> at</c><00:30:59.380><c> the</c><00:30:59.579><c> time</c><00:30:59.839><c> also</c><00:31:00.279><c> involved</c><00:31:00.779><c> the</c><00:31:01.079><c> sacrifice</c><00:31:01.440><c> of</c>

00:31:18.900 --> 00:31:21.160

But<00:31:21.220><c> we</c><00:31:21.799><c> had</c><00:31:22.000><c> to</c><00:31:22.099><c> have</c><00:31:22.200><c> a</c><00:31:22.460><c> brother</c><00:31:22.759><c> come</c><00:31:23.099><c> in.</c>

00:31:23.779 --> 00:31:27.099
This<00:31:23.940><c> was</c><00:31:24.420><c> Brother</c><00:31:24.660><c> Gary</c><00:31:25.000><c> Burns</c><00:31:25.420><c> from</c><00:31:26.059><c> who</c><00:31:26.240><c> had</c><00:31:26.380><c> been</c><00:31:26.660><c> raised</c>

00:31:27.099 --> 00:31:32.680
in<00:31:27.779><c> in</c><00:31:28.400><c> this</c><00:31:28.720><c> doctrine</c><00:31:29.200><c> and</c><00:31:31.160><c> had</c><00:31:31.440><c> later</c><00:31:31.859><c> came</c>

00:31:32.799 --> 00:31:36.700
to<00:31:32.980><c> an</c><00:31:33.099><c> understanding,</c><00:31:34.279><c> had</c><00:31:34.380><c> later</c><00:31:34.700><c> come</c><00:31:35.039><c> to</c><00:31:35.220><c> an</c><00:31:35.420><c> understanding</c><00:31:35.859><c> that</c><00:31:36.400><c> what</c>

00:31:36.700 --> 00:31:37.319
he<00:31:36.839><c> had</c><00:31:36.960><c> believed</c><00:31:37.119><c> all</c>

00:31:37.319 --> 00:31:39.200
his<00:31:37.460><c> life</c><00:31:37.640><c> about</c><00:31:37.839><c> this</c><00:31:38.039><c> was</c><00:31:38.259><c> not</c><00:31:38.779><c> right.</c>

00:31:39.200 --> 00:31:43.099
So<00:31:40.000><c> we</c><00:31:40.140><c> had</c><00:31:40.400><c> him</c><00:31:40.640><c> in</c><00:31:41.039><c> for</c><00:31:41.480><c> a</c><00:31:41.680><c> study</c><00:31:41.819><c> weekend</c><00:31:42.119><c> to</c><00:31:42.460><c> explain</c><00:31:42.799><c> what</c>

00:31:43.099 --> 00:31:45.579
Andrewism<00:31:43.579><c> was</c><00:31:43.920><c> to</c><00:31:44.160><c> us</c><00:31:44.339><c> so</c><00:31:44.640><c> that</c><00:31:44.779><c> when</c><00:31:44.960><c> we</c><00:31:45.200><c> rejected</c>

00:31:45.579 --> 00:31:48.079
it<00:31:45.799><c> coming</c><00:31:46.000><c> into</c><00:31:46.200><c> the</c><00:31:46.319><c> Central</c><00:31:46.539><c> Fellowship,</c><00:31:47.220><c> we</c><00:31:47.680><c> understood</c>

00:31:48.079 --> 00:31:49.319
what<00:31:48.259><c> it</c><00:31:48.440><c> was</c><00:31:48.579><c> we</c><00:31:48.759><c> were</c><00:31:48.900><c> rejecting.</c>

00:31:49.819 --> 00:31:51.880
Otherwise,<00:31:50.279><c> what</c><00:31:50.380><c> kind</c><00:31:50.559><c> of</c><00:31:50.720><c> rejection</c><00:31:51.039><c> and</c><00:31:51.279><c> say</c><00:31:51.380><c> we</c><00:31:51.480><c> don't</c><00:31:51.779><c> we</c>

00:31:51.880 --> 00:31:53.200
don't<00:31:52.319><c> believe</c><00:31:52.519><c> in</c><00:31:52.720><c> Andrewism.</c>

00:31:53.259 --> 00:31:56.000
And<00:31:53.380><c> somebody</c><00:31:53.519><c> says,</c><00:31:53.859><c> well,</c><00:31:54.119><c> what</c><00:31:54.220><c> is</c><00:31:54.420><c> it</c><00:31:54.559><c> that</c><00:31:55.059><c> you're</c><00:31:55.500><c> saying</c><00:31:55.799><c> you</c>

00:31:56.000 --> 00:31:56.559
don't<00:31:56.180><c> believe?</c>

00:31:56.799 --> 00:31:59.059
We<00:31:56.980><c> don't</c><00:31:57.220><c> know,</c><00:31:57.460><c> actually,</c><00:31:57.859><c> but</c><00:31:58.019><c> we</c><00:31:58.119><c> don't</c><00:31:58.339><c> believe</c><00:31:58.579><c> it.</c>

00:31:59.339 --> 00:32:00.519
That's<00:31:59.819><c> not</c><00:32:00.079><c> valid.</c>

00:32:00.920 --> 00:32:02.700
So<00:32:01.240><c> we</c><00:32:01.460><c> had</c><00:32:01.660><c> him</c><00:32:01.799><c> in.</c>

00:32:02.759 --> 00:32:07.660
And<00:32:03.240><c> when</c><00:32:03.500><c> he</c><00:32:03.779><c> explained</c><00:32:04.019><c> it</c><00:32:04.160><c> went</c><00:32:04.259><c> off,</c><00:32:05.380><c> but</c><00:32:05.480><c> I</c><00:32:05.779><c> still</c><00:32:06.059><c> was</c><00:32:06.240><c> not</c><00:32:06.519><c> really</c><00:32:06.960><c> kind</c><00:32:07.240><c> of</c>

00:32:07.660 --> 00:32:08.940
tuned<00:32:07.920><c> to</c><00:32:08.140><c> that</c><00:32:08.339><c> frequency.</c>

00:32:08.940 --> 00:32:14.000
So<00:32:09.359><c> over</c><00:32:09.779><c> time,</c><00:32:10.940><c> we</c><00:32:11.839><c> have</c><00:32:12.460><c> made</c><00:32:12.660><c> it</c><00:32:12.900><c> a</c><00:32:13.000><c> point</c><00:32:13.200><c> to</c><00:32:13.519><c> understand</c>

00:32:14.000 --> 00:32:18.279
it<00:32:15.000><c> simply</c><00:32:15.640><c> to</c><00:32:16.099><c> get</c><00:32:16.380><c> at</c><00:32:16.579><c> the</c><00:32:16.839><c> root</c><00:32:17.099><c> of</c><00:32:17.440><c> this</c><00:32:17.940><c> doctrine.</c>

00:32:18.400 --> 00:32:20.940
Because<00:32:18.619><c> I</c><00:32:18.859><c> think</c><00:32:18.980><c> if</c><00:32:19.180><c> that</c><00:32:19.460><c> doctrine</c><00:32:19.839><c> weren't</c><00:32:20.180><c> there,</c><00:32:20.680><c> there</c>

00:32:20.940 --> 00:32:22.500
would<00:32:21.140><c> never</c><00:32:21.380><c> have</c><00:32:21.619><c> been</c><00:32:22.059><c> a</c><00:32:22.279><c> division.</c>

00:32:22.640 --> 00:32:24.980
And<00:32:22.900><c> consequently,</c><00:32:23.319><c> these</c><00:32:23.519><c> other</c><00:32:23.839><c> issues</c><00:32:24.319><c> that</c><00:32:24.500><c> have</c><00:32:24.700><c> come</c>

00:32:24.980 --> 00:32:29.240
to<00:32:25.539><c> bear</c><00:32:25.740><c> on</c><00:32:26.059><c> our</c><00:32:26.720><c> our</c><00:32:26.920><c> our</c><00:32:27.539><c> separation</c><00:32:28.240><c> probably</c>

00:32:29.240 --> 00:32:29.980
wouldn't<00:32:29.460><c> be</c><00:32:29.759><c> present.</c>

00:32:30.140 --> 00:32:32.819
They<00:32:30.180><c> wouldn't</c><00:32:30.319><c> be</c><00:32:31.359><c> carry</c><00:32:31.740><c> the</c><00:32:32.000><c> weight</c><00:32:32.140><c> that</c><00:32:32.319><c> they</c><00:32:32.519><c> do,</c><00:32:32.660><c> even</c>

00:32:32.819 --> 00:32:33.940
if<00:32:32.960><c> they</c><00:32:33.160><c> were.</c>

00:32:34.619 --> 00:32:40.539
So<00:32:35.099><c> the</c><00:32:35.579><c> intent</c><00:32:35.920><c> here</c><00:32:36.380><c> is</c><00:32:36.940><c> not</c><00:32:37.519><c> to</c><00:32:37.859><c> explain</c><00:32:38.079><c> to</c><00:32:38.359><c> you,</c><00:32:39.500><c> not</c><00:32:39.839><c> to</c><00:32:40.059><c> set</c><00:32:40.180><c> up</c><00:32:40.319><c> a</c>

00:32:40.539 --> 00:32:45.400
basis<00:32:40.960><c> for</c><00:32:42.319><c> as</c><00:32:42.980><c> a</c><00:32:43.240><c> representation</c><00:32:43.880><c> of</c><00:32:44.519><c> unamended</c><00:32:44.819><c> community,</c>

00:32:45.740 --> 00:32:47.359
like<00:32:45.960><c> which</c><00:32:46.119><c> I</c><00:32:46.319><c> think</c><00:32:46.440><c> is</c><00:32:46.579><c> what</c><00:32:46.700><c> you're</c><00:32:46.900><c> pointing</c><00:32:47.119><c> out.</c>

00:32:47.359 --> 00:32:49.240
Not<00:32:47.539><c> at</c><00:32:47.759><c> all.</c>

00:32:49.660 --> 00:32:54.440
However,<00:32:50.180><c> it</c><00:32:50.380><c> is</c><00:32:50.660><c> there</c><00:32:51.539><c> in</c><00:32:52.720><c> part</c><00:32:52.940><c> and</c><00:32:53.279><c> it</c><00:32:53.420><c> is</c><00:32:53.619><c> not</c><00:32:53.799><c> there</c><00:32:54.039><c> in</c><00:32:54.319><c> part.</c>

00:32:54.440 --> 00:32:56.539
That's<00:32:54.779><c> what</c><00:32:54.920><c> can</c><00:32:55.059><c> be</c><00:32:55.240><c> so</c><00:32:55.500><c> confusing</c><00:32:55.859><c> about</c><00:32:56.140><c> this</c><00:32:56.420><c> thing.</c>

00:32:56.539 --> 00:32:58.960
And<00:32:56.680><c> that's</c><00:32:56.880><c> one</c><00:32:57.019><c> of</c><00:32:57.119><c> the</c><00:32:57.200><c> reasons</c><00:32:57.440><c> I'm</c><00:32:57.700><c> standing</c><00:32:57.900><c> here</c><00:32:58.119><c> talking</c><00:32:58.380><c> to</c><00:32:58.579><c> you</c><00:32:58.680><c> about</c><00:32:58.759><c> it</c>

00:32:58.960 --> 00:33:01.500
today,<00:32:59.160><c> because</c><00:32:59.759><c> I</c><00:33:00.200><c> have</c><00:33:00.319><c> the</c><00:33:00.539><c> perspective</c><00:33:01.000><c> growing</c><00:33:01.259><c> up</c>

00:33:01.500 --> 00:33:05.140
in<00:33:01.619><c> that</c><00:33:01.799><c> community</c><00:33:02.400><c> that</c><00:33:02.900><c> I</c><00:33:03.059><c> think</c><00:33:03.359><c> which</c><00:33:04.079><c> which</c><00:33:04.319><c> when</c><00:33:04.420><c> I</c><00:33:04.720><c> explain</c><00:33:04.960><c> to</c>

00:33:05.140 --> 00:33:08.519
you<00:33:05.259><c> will</c><00:33:05.420><c> give</c><00:33:05.559><c> you</c><00:33:05.720><c> an</c><00:33:05.900><c> understanding</c><00:33:06.519><c> of</c><00:33:07.140><c> why</c><00:33:07.299><c> it's</c><00:33:07.559><c> so</c><00:33:07.680><c> perplexing</c><00:33:08.279><c> and</c>

00:33:08.519 --> 00:33:10.140
difficult<00:33:08.980><c> to</c><00:33:09.279><c> resolve.</c>

00:33:10.759 --> 00:33:12.519
So<00:33:10.920><c> this</c><00:33:11.119><c> is</c><00:33:11.319><c> just</c><00:33:11.519><c> to</c><00:33:11.759><c> get</c><00:33:11.859><c> us</c><00:33:12.119><c> familiar.</c>

00:33:12.579 --> 00:33:14.680
And<00:33:12.680><c> I</c><00:33:12.799><c> think</c><00:33:12.859><c> it's</c><00:33:13.099><c> probably</c><00:33:13.259><c> a</c><00:33:13.359><c> good</c><00:33:13.519><c> exercise</c><00:33:13.980><c> anyway</c><00:33:14.400><c> to</c>

00:33:14.680 --> 00:33:22.039
show<00:33:14.900><c> you</c><00:33:15.140><c> how</c><00:33:15.519><c> doctrines,</c><00:33:17.799><c> how</c><00:33:17.859><c> ideas</c><00:33:18.519><c> can</c><00:33:19.819><c> sound</c><00:33:20.099><c> very</c><00:33:20.799><c> logical</c><00:33:21.279><c> and</c><00:33:21.660><c> convincing,</c>

00:33:22.039 --> 00:33:29.319
but<00:33:22.380><c> they</c><00:33:22.660><c> can</c><00:33:22.960><c> be</c><00:33:24.460><c> wrong,</c><00:33:25.579><c> entirely</c><00:33:25.880><c> wrong,</c><00:33:26.960><c> but</c><00:33:27.079><c> only</c><00:33:27.420><c> recognizable</c><00:33:28.160><c> if</c><00:33:28.599><c> you</c><00:33:29.319><c> if</c>

00:33:29.319 --> 00:33:31.599
you<00:33:29.680><c> strain</c><00:33:29.880><c> your</c><00:33:30.220><c> brain</c><00:33:30.500><c> to</c><00:33:30.940><c> consider</c><00:33:31.160><c> how.</c>

00:33:31.819 --> 00:33:34.519

00:37:12.119 --> 00:37:16.099
So<00:37:12.519><c> you're</c><00:37:12.659><c> thinking,</c><00:37:13.019><c> well,</c><00:37:13.199><c> that's</c><00:37:13.480><c> a</c><00:37:13.639><c> lot</c><00:37:13.760><c> of</c><00:37:13.880><c> law.</c><00:37:14.699><c> And</c><00:37:14.860><c> yes,</c><00:37:15.039><c> it</c><00:37:15.199><c> is.</c>

00:37:19.159 --> 00:37:23.039

00:37:25.599 --> 00:37:28.139
The<00:37:25.639><c> law</c><00:37:25.800><c> of</c><00:37:25.920><c> sin</c><00:37:26.000><c> and</c><00:37:26.139><c> death</c><00:37:26.239><c> was</c><00:37:26.420><c> a</c><00:37:26.599><c> law</c><00:37:26.780><c> that</c><00:37:26.960><c> God</c><00:37:27.179><c> pronounced</c><00:37:27.719><c> when</c><00:37:27.920><c> he</c>

from<00:44:31.619><c> within.</c>

00:44:32.039 --> 00:44:33.719
Now,<00:44:32.059><c> there</c><00:44:32.239><c> are</c><00:44:32.239><c> many,</c><00:44:32.480><c> many</c><00:44:32.639><c> aspects</c><00:44:33.099><c> of</c><00:44:33.280><c> this</c><00:44:33.440><c> that</c><00:44:33.599><c> could</c>

be<00:44:33.980><c> considered</c><00:44:34.260><c> and</c><00:44:34.460><c> brought</c><00:44:34.559><c> into</c><00:44:34.800><c> it.</c>

00:44:35.280 --> 00:44:38.699
But<00:44:35.400><c> in</c><00:44:35.559><c> the</c><00:44:35.739><c> simplest</c><00:44:36.000><c> form,</c><00:44:37.039><c> that</c><00:44:37.039><c> distinction</c><00:44:37.619><c> in</c><00:44:38.480><c> that</c>

00:44:38.699 --> 00:44:40.800
distinction<00:44:39.199><c> lies</c><00:44:39.519><c> the</c><00:44:39.820><c> problem.</c>

00:44:40.880 --> 00:44:43.519
The<00:44:41.079><c> law</c><00:44:41.219><c> of</c><00:44:41.360><c> sin</c><00:44:41.500><c> and</c><00:44:41.619><c> death</c><00:44:41.760><c> is</c><00:44:42.000><c> our</c><00:44:42.219><c> very</c><00:44:42.420><c> nature.</c><00:44:42.960><c> It's</c><00:44:43.400><c> in</c>

00:44:43.519 --> 00:44:47.340
us.<00:44:44.739><c> It's</c><00:44:44.960><c> what</c><00:44:45.179><c> produces</c><00:44:45.940><c> temptation.</c>

00:44:48.039 --> 00:44:53.559
It<00:44:48.800><c> is</c><00:44:49.099><c> not</c><00:44:49.280><c> a</c><00:44:49.519><c> divine</c><00:44:49.940><c> law</c><00:44:50.280><c> that</c><00:44:50.679><c> is</c><00:44:51.320><c> causes</c><00:44:51.699><c> the</c><00:44:52.360><c> evil</c><00:44:52.699><c> in</c><00:44:53.000><c> our</c><00:44:53.199><c> members.</c>

00:44:53.739 --> 00:44:57.139
That<00:44:53.900><c> just</c><00:44:54.420><c> doesn't</c><00:44:55.079><c> square</c><00:44:55.519><c> with</c><00:44:55.900><c> anything</c><00:44:56.340><c> we</c><00:44:56.719><c> understand</c>

00:44:57.139 --> 00:44:57.739
in<00:44:57.380><c> scripture.</c>

00:44:58.019 --> 00:45:03.840
And<00:44:58.260><c> yet</c><00:44:58.340><c> it</c><00:44:58.460><c> is</c><00:44:58.639><c> the</c><00:44:58.940><c> very</c><00:44:59.280><c> premise</c><00:45:00.059><c> of</c><00:45:00.880><c> J</c><00:45:01.099><c>.J.</c><00:45:02.039><c> Andrews</c><00:45:02.800><c> doctrine.</c>

00:45:03.900 --> 00:45:07.880
So<00:45:04.400><c> the</c><00:45:05.239><c> critical</c><00:45:05.659><c> distinction</c><00:45:06.159><c> here</c><00:45:06.559><c> is</c><00:45:06.800><c> how</c><00:45:07.099><c> this</c><00:45:07.500><c> relates</c>

00:45:07.880 --> 00:45:09.500
to<00:45:08.280><c> justification,</c>

00:45:09.780 --> 00:45:13.619
because<00:45:10.300><c> we</c><00:45:10.519><c> know</c><00:45:10.820><c> we</c><00:45:10.920><c> don't</c><00:45:11.179><c> have</c><00:45:11.480><c> any</c><00:45:12.599><c> relationship</c><00:45:13.260><c> to</c><00:45:13.420><c> the</c>

00:45:13.619 --> 00:45:16.679
sacrifice<00:45:14.159><c> of</c><00:45:14.360><c> Christ</c><00:45:14.739><c> or</c><00:45:15.139><c> part</c><00:45:15.360><c> in</c><00:45:15.619><c> the</c><00:45:15.739><c> kingdom</c><00:45:16.079><c> if</c><00:45:16.300><c> we</c><00:45:16.480><c> are</c>

00:45:16.679 --> 00:45:18.179
not<00:45:16.980><c> justified.</c>

00:45:18.739 --> 00:45:21.780
So<00:45:18.940><c> what</c><00:45:19.280><c> justifies</c><00:45:20.019><c> us</c><00:45:20.340><c> is</c><00:45:20.679><c> critical</c><00:45:21.139><c> to</c><00:45:21.380><c> our</c><00:45:21.619><c> faith.</c>

00:45:21.900 --> 00:45:26.800
And<00:45:21.960><c> once</c><00:45:22.119><c> again,</c><00:45:22.820><c> I</c><00:45:22.980><c> may</c><00:45:23.179><c> sound</c><00:45:23.420><c> like</c><00:45:23.699><c> I'm</c><00:45:24.579><c> teaching</c><00:45:25.000><c> and</c><00:45:25.300><c> preaching</c><00:45:25.539><c> here.</c><00:45:26.260><c> I'm</c><00:45:26.659><c> not.</c>

00:45:26.940 --> 00:45:28.820
I'm<00:45:26.960><c> just</c><00:45:27.219><c> explaining</c><00:45:27.679><c> to</c><00:45:27.860><c> you</c><00:45:28.000><c> what</c><00:45:28.139><c> I</c><00:45:28.400><c> understand.</c>

00:45:28.820 --> 00:45:33.619
So<00:45:29.000><c> if</c><00:45:29.119><c> I</c><00:45:29.300><c> understand</c><00:45:29.800><c> with</c><00:45:30.340><c> some</c><00:45:30.599><c> degree</c><00:45:30.960><c> of</c><00:45:31.659><c> emphasis</c><00:45:32.300><c> or,</c><00:45:33.239><c> I</c>

00:45:33.619 --> 00:45:36.760
mean,<00:45:33.960><c> Italian</c><00:45:34.440><c> passion</c><00:45:36.179><c> or</c><00:45:36.400><c> whatever,</c>

00:45:37.079 --> 00:45:40.599
it's<00:45:37.420><c> not</c><00:45:37.599><c> because</c><00:45:37.760><c> I'm</c><00:45:37.980><c> trying</c><00:45:38.199><c> to</c><00:45:38.340><c> get</c><00:45:38.539><c> you</c><00:45:38.860><c> to</c><00:45:39.659><c> to</c><00:45:40.119><c> buy</c><00:45:40.340><c> into</c>

00:45:40.599 --> 00:45:44.619
this.<00:45:41.059><c> That's</c><00:45:41.380><c> just</c><00:45:41.639><c> the</c><00:45:41.860><c> way</c><00:45:42.079><c> I</c><00:45:43.179><c> understand</c><00:45:43.679><c> things.</c>

00:45:45.539 --> 00:45:48.739
So<00:45:45.900><c> so</c><00:45:46.099><c> this</c><00:45:46.380><c> is</c><00:45:46.539><c> how</c><00:45:46.719><c> this</c><00:45:47.099><c> relates</c><00:45:47.440><c> to</c><00:45:47.679><c> justification,</c><00:45:48.320><c> which</c><00:45:48.519><c> is</c>

00:45:48.739 --> 00:45:49.860
at<00:45:48.860><c> the</c><00:45:49.079><c> crux</c><00:45:49.280><c> of</c><00:45:49.460><c> the</c><00:45:49.619><c> issue.</c>

00:45:50.019 --> 00:45:57.079
Either<00:45:50.179><c> we</c><00:45:50.420><c> are</c><00:45:50.639><c> justified</c><00:45:51.219><c> by</c><00:45:51.539><c> faith,</c><00:45:53.179><c> which</c><00:45:54.480><c> is</c><00:45:54.739><c> what</c><00:45:55.239><c> we</c><00:45:55.780><c> understand</c><00:45:56.219><c> the</c><00:45:56.639><c> case</c><00:45:56.840><c> to</c>

00:45:57.079 --> 00:45:58.019
be<00:45:57.219><c> right.</c>

00:45:58.019 --> 00:46:03.139
Faith<00:45:58.500><c> justifies</c><00:45:59.159><c> us</c><00:45:59.539><c> or</c><00:46:00.139><c> we</c><00:46:00.579><c> are</c><00:46:00.840><c> justified</c><00:46:01.519><c> by</c><00:46:01.860><c> a</c><00:46:02.179><c> legal</c><00:46:02.539><c> shift</c>

00:46:03.139 --> 00:46:08.340
that<00:46:04.059><c> occurs</c><00:46:04.480><c> as</c><00:46:04.880><c> a</c><00:46:05.079><c> result</c><00:46:05.360><c> of</c><00:46:05.599><c> baptism</c><00:46:05.960><c> or</c><00:46:06.340><c> circumcision</c><00:46:07.300><c> in</c>

00:46:08.340 --> 00:46:12.119
the<00:46:08.679><c> status</c><00:46:09.340><c> from</c><00:46:10.239><c> one</c><00:46:10.659><c> law</c><00:46:11.059><c> to</c><00:46:11.699><c> another,</c>

00:46:12.480 --> 00:46:17.360
a<00:46:12.840><c> shift</c><00:46:13.039><c> in</c><00:46:13.500><c> status</c><00:46:14.000><c> as</c><00:46:14.920><c> a</c><00:46:15.119><c> result</c><00:46:15.480><c> of</c><00:46:15.940><c> a</c><00:46:16.079><c> legal</c><00:46:16.320><c> condition.</c>

00:46:17.659 --> 00:46:20.579
So<00:46:17.880><c> that's</c><00:46:18.260><c> where</c><00:46:18.820><c> justified</c><00:46:19.400><c> by</c><00:46:19.639><c> the</c><00:46:19.820><c> blood</c><00:46:20.059><c> comes</c><00:46:20.380><c> in.</c>

00:46:20.579 --> 00:46:22.760
And<00:46:20.699><c> we're</c><00:46:20.860><c> going</c><00:46:20.860><c> to</c><00:46:20.920><c> look</c><00:46:21.099><c> at</c><00:46:21.219><c> this</c><00:46:21.440><c> just</c><00:46:21.679><c> briefly</c><00:46:21.980><c> so</c><00:46:22.219><c> you</c><00:46:22.280><c> can</c><00:46:22.420><c> get</c><00:46:22.559><c> a</c>

feeling<00:46:23.039><c> for</c><00:46:23.260><c> the</c><00:46:23.519><c> problem</c><00:46:24.059><c> of</c><00:46:24.780><c> what</c><00:46:25.039><c> happens</c>

00:46:26.739 --> 00:46:32.239
if<00:46:27.260><c> justification</c><00:46:27.780><c> is</c><00:46:28.920><c> is</c><00:46:29.659><c> twisted</c><00:46:29.800><c> and</c><00:46:30.280><c> distorted</c><00:46:30.719><c> into</c><00:46:31.320><c> something</c><00:46:31.760><c> that</c><00:46:32.000><c> the</c>

00:46:32.239 --> 00:46:34.579
scripture<00:46:32.880><c> says</c><00:46:33.679><c> that</c><00:46:33.920><c> it</c><00:46:34.039><c> is</c><00:46:34.260><c> not.</c>

00:46:34.800 --> 00:46:39.000
If<00:46:34.960><c> we</c><00:46:35.300><c> are</c><00:46:36.079><c> justified</c><00:46:36.840><c> by</c><00:46:37.179><c> the</c><00:46:37.380><c> blood</c><00:46:37.519><c> of</c><00:46:37.739><c> Christ,</c><00:46:38.519><c> does</c><00:46:38.800><c> does</c>

that<00:46:39.559><c> kind</c><00:46:39.860><c> of</c><00:46:40.079><c> language,</c>

00:46:42.840 --> 00:46:45.420
is<00:46:43.059><c> it</c><00:46:43.320><c> meant</c><00:46:43.440><c> to</c><00:46:43.659><c> be</c><00:46:43.900><c> literal</c><00:46:44.280><c> or</c><00:46:44.860><c> figurative?</c>

00:46:45.460 --> 00:46:47.000
So<00:46:45.619><c> when</c><00:46:45.780><c> you</c><00:46:45.820><c> think</c><00:46:45.920><c> about</c><00:46:46.159><c> that,</c><00:46:46.440><c> you</c><00:46:46.480><c> go,</c><00:46:46.699><c> well,</c><00:46:46.760><c> there</c><00:46:46.860><c> was</c>

00:58:28.079 --> 00:58:32.500
Then<00:58:28.420><c> it</c><00:58:28.480><c> says</c><00:58:28.699><c> in</c><00:58:28.880><c> Hebrew</c><00:58:29.360><c> now</c><00:58:30.320><c> that</c><00:58:30.579><c> this</c><00:58:30.840><c> lofty</c><00:58:31.460><c> state</c><00:58:31.639><c> statement,</c><00:58:32.280><c> now</c>

00:58:32.500 --> 00:58:36.639
the<00:58:32.639><c> God</c><00:58:32.800><c> of</c><00:58:33.000><c> peace</c><00:58:33.280><c> that</c><00:58:33.559><c> brought</c><00:58:33.699><c> again</c><00:58:34.039><c> from</c><00:58:34.300><c> the</c><00:58:34.539><c> dead,</c><00:58:34.900><c> our</c><00:58:35.019><c> Lord</c><00:58:35.179><c> Jesus,</c><00:58:35.739><c> that</c><00:58:35.900><c> great</c><00:58:36.199><c> shepherd</c><00:58:36.460><c> of</c>

00:58:36.639 --> 00:58:40.280
the<00:58:36.820><c> sheep</c><00:58:37.320><c> through</c><00:58:37.860><c> the</c><00:58:38.159><c> blood</c><00:58:38.260><c> of</c><00:58:38.460><c> the</c><00:58:38.639><c> everlasting</c><00:58:39.099><c> covenant.</c>

00:58:40.619 --> 00:58:43.500
Sounds<00:58:40.860><c> like</c><00:58:41.119><c> he's</c><00:58:41.440><c> connecting</c><00:58:41.940><c> the</c><00:58:42.239><c> resurrection</c><00:58:42.619><c> of</c><00:58:42.820><c> Jesus</c>

00:58:43.500 --> 00:58:51.059
to<00:58:45.559><c> a</c><00:58:46.559><c> a</c><00:58:47.559><c> law</c><00:58:47.920><c> that</c><00:58:48.659><c> came</c><00:58:48.920><c> into</c><00:58:49.219><c> effect</c><00:58:49.760><c> as</c><00:58:50.139><c> a</c><00:58:50.320><c> result</c><00:58:50.639><c> of</c><00:58:50.880><c> his</c>

00:58:51.059 --> 00:58:56.380
having<00:58:51.340><c> shed</c><00:58:51.980><c> blood</c><00:58:52.599><c> on</c><00:58:53.179><c> the</c><00:58:53.440><c> cross,</c><00:58:54.079><c> ratifying</c><00:58:54.659><c> the</c><00:58:54.920><c> covenant</c><00:58:55.139><c> of</c><00:58:55.440><c> God.</c>

00:58:56.780 --> 00:58:59.619
So<00:58:57.300><c> this</c><00:58:57.820><c> is</c><00:58:57.920><c> what</c><00:58:58.079><c> I</c><00:58:58.280><c> believe</c><00:58:58.460><c> this</c><00:58:58.739><c> means</c><00:58:59.059><c> without</c><00:58:59.340><c> getting</c>

00:58:59.619 --> 00:59:00.599
too<00:58:59.940><c> heavy</c><00:59:00.159><c> on</c><00:59:00.360><c> this.</c>

00:59:00.860 --> 00:59:02.960
Jesus<00:59:01.019><c> was</c><00:59:01.320><c> raised</c><00:59:01.820><c> from</c><00:59:02.480><c> the</c><00:59:02.659><c> grave.</c>

00:59:03.219 --> 00:59:06.940
When<00:59:03.460><c> Paul</c><00:59:03.699><c> speaks</c><00:59:03.980><c> about</c><00:59:04.219><c> the</c><00:59:04.360><c> blood</c><00:59:04.500><c> of</c><00:59:04.679><c> the</c><00:59:04.840><c> covenant,</c><00:59:05.900><c> he's</c><00:59:06.099><c> speaking</c><00:59:06.400><c> about</c><00:59:06.699><c> the</c>

00:59:06.940 --> 00:59:08.059
life<00:59:07.300><c> of</c><00:59:07.539><c> the</c><00:59:07.760><c> covenant.</c>

00:59:08.380 --> 00:59:10.739
That<00:59:08.599><c> life</c><00:59:08.940><c> was</c><00:59:09.159><c> the</c><00:59:09.320><c> life</c><00:59:09.539><c> of</c><00:59:09.760><c> Christ.</c>

00:59:11.039 --> 00:59:13.440
He's<00:59:11.260><c> speaking</c><00:59:11.500><c> about</c><00:59:11.780><c> the</c><00:59:12.059><c> righteousness</c><00:59:12.519><c> and</c><00:59:12.940><c> obedience</c>

00:59:13.440 --> 00:59:14.420
of<00:59:13.679><c> Christ.</c>

00:59:14.599 --> 00:59:17.340
So<00:59:14.619><c> when</c><00:59:14.900><c> he</c><00:59:15.199><c> says</c><00:59:15.539><c> that</c><00:59:15.880><c> he</c><00:59:15.960><c> was</c><00:59:16.280><c> raised,</c><00:59:16.619><c> that</c><00:59:16.880><c> shepherd</c><00:59:17.159><c> of</c>

00:59:17.340 --> 00:59:20.739
the<00:59:17.519><c> sheep</c><00:59:17.780><c> raised</c><00:59:18.239><c> from</c><00:59:18.940><c> through</c><00:59:19.460><c> the</c><00:59:19.679><c> blood</c><00:59:19.840><c> of</c><00:59:19.980><c> the</c><00:59:20.179><c> covenant,</c><00:59:20.500><c> he's</c>

00:59:20.739 --> 00:59:23.900
saying<00:59:20.840><c> Jesus</c><00:59:21.199><c> was</c><00:59:21.500><c> raised</c><00:59:21.739><c> because</c><00:59:22.099><c> of</c><00:59:22.219><c> his</c><00:59:22.420><c> obedient</c><00:59:22.860><c> life.</c>

00:59:23.920 --> 00:59:28.099
The<00:59:24.420><c> blood</c><00:59:24.619><c> of</c><00:59:24.820><c> the</c><00:59:25.019><c> covenant</c><00:59:25.300><c> was</c><00:59:25.719><c> obedience</c><00:59:26.320><c> unto</c><00:59:26.780><c> death.</c>

00:59:28.559 --> 00:59:31.280
It's<00:59:28.760><c> the</c><00:59:28.920><c> obedience,</c><00:59:29.559><c> not</c><00:59:29.900><c> the</c><00:59:30.159><c> blood</c><00:59:30.300><c> that</c><00:59:30.460><c> he's</c><00:59:30.760><c> talking</c><00:59:31.000><c> about.</c>

00:59:31.420 --> 00:59:34.619
In<00:59:31.420><c> other</c><00:59:31.599><c> words,</c><00:59:32.820><c> that</c><00:59:32.980><c> life</c><00:59:33.320><c> is</c><00:59:33.559><c> the</c><00:59:33.719><c> basis</c><00:59:34.000><c> of</c><00:59:34.199><c> the</c><00:59:34.380><c> covenant.</c>

00:59:34.940 --> 00:59:37.400
So<00:59:35.199><c> if</c><00:59:35.480><c> we</c><00:59:35.659><c> look,</c><00:59:36.099><c> scan</c><00:59:36.280><c> scriptures,</c><00:59:36.800><c> this</c><00:59:37.000><c> is</c><00:59:37.059><c> what</c><00:59:37.119><c> it</c><00:59:37.280><c> says</c>

00:59:37.400 --> 00:59:39.280
about<00:59:37.579><c> what</c><00:59:37.840><c> justifies</c><00:59:38.360><c> us.</c>

00:59:39.320 --> 00:59:42.019
You<00:59:39.320><c> cannot</c><00:59:39.639><c> be</c><00:59:39.920><c> justified</c><00:59:40.460><c> by</c><00:59:40.760><c> law.</c>

00:59:43.500 --> 00:59:45.159
What<00:59:43.980><c> were</c><00:59:44.099><c> we</c><00:59:44.199><c> just</c><00:59:44.400><c> reading?</c>

00:59:45.699 --> 00:59:47.179
You<00:59:45.900><c> cannot</c><00:59:46.199><c> be</c><00:59:46.440><c> justified</c><00:59:46.840><c> by</c><00:59:47.059><c> law.</c>

00:59:47.260 --> 00:59:49.900
A<00:59:47.360><c> man</c><00:59:47.440><c> is</c><00:59:47.659><c> justified</c><00:59:47.940><c> by</c><00:59:48.260><c> faith</c><00:59:48.659><c> being</c><00:59:49.039><c> justified</c><00:59:49.460><c> by</c><00:59:49.739><c> faith.</c>

00:59:49.960 --> 00:59:50.980
We<00:59:50.019><c> have</c><00:59:50.119><c> peace</c><00:59:50.360><c> with</c><00:59:50.579><c> God.</c>

00:59:50.980 --> 00:59:53.500
No<00:59:51.500><c> man</c><00:59:51.699><c> is</c><00:59:51.900><c> justified</c><00:59:52.320><c> by</c><00:59:52.519><c> the</c><00:59:52.659><c> law</c><00:59:52.840><c> that</c><00:59:53.039><c> just</c><00:59:53.199><c> shall</c><00:59:53.360><c> live</c>

00:59:53.500 --> 00:59:56.079
by<00:59:53.860><c> faith</c><00:59:54.219><c> being</c><00:59:54.719><c> now</c><00:59:54.920><c> justified</c><00:59:55.420><c> by</c><00:59:55.659><c> his</c><00:59:55.900><c> blood.</c>

00:59:56.300 --> 01:00:00.239
We<00:59:56.340><c> shall</c><00:59:56.599><c> be</c><00:59:56.920><c> saved</c><00:59:57.360><c> by</c><00:59:58.059><c> his</c><00:59:58.340><c> blood</c><00:59:58.579><c> and</c><00:59:58.840><c> by</c><00:59:59.119><c> faith</c><00:59:59.360><c> describes</c>

01:00:03.320 --> 01:00:04.380
So<01:00:03.760><c> why</c><01:00:04.039><c> blood?</c>

01:00:04.840 --> 01:00:07.099
A<01:00:04.920><c> lot</c><01:00:05.019><c> of</c><01:00:05.139><c> people</c><01:00:05.360><c> say,</c><01:00:05.699><c> and</c><01:00:05.880><c> this</c><01:00:06.099><c> is</c><01:00:06.260><c> a</c><01:00:06.380><c> question</c><01:00:06.739><c> that</c><01:00:06.940><c> JJ</c>

01:00:07.099 --> 01:00:08.340
Andrew<01:00:07.480><c> wrestled</c><01:00:08.059><c> with.</c>

01:00:08.400 --> 01:00:10.519
Why<01:00:08.659><c> do</c><01:00:08.780><c> you</c><01:00:08.860><c> have</c><01:00:08.920><c> to</c><01:00:09.099><c> die</c><01:00:09.239><c> a</c><01:00:09.340><c> violent</c><01:00:09.619><c> death?</c>

01:00:10.820 --> 01:00:11.760
What<01:00:10.960><c> is</c><01:00:11.179><c> blood</c><01:00:11.380><c> all</c><01:00:11.559><c> about?</c>

01:00:11.820 --> 01:00:12.679
Why<01:00:12.000><c> the</c><01:00:12.139><c> blood</c><01:00:12.219><c> of</c><01:00:12.460><c> animals?</c>

01:00:12.760 --> 01:00:14.340
Why<01:00:12.900><c> the</c><01:00:13.059><c> blood</c><01:00:13.159><c> of</c><01:00:13.380><c> Christ?</c>

01:00:14.500 --> 01:00:16.039
To<01:00:14.780><c> me,</c><01:00:15.059><c> it's</c><01:00:15.260><c> very</c><01:00:15.539><c> simple.</c>

01:00:16.460 --> 01:00:20.420
And<01:00:16.840><c> it's</c><01:00:17.260><c> expressed</c><01:00:17.500><c> in</c><01:00:17.860><c> the</c><01:00:18.079><c> priest</c><01:00:18.300><c> sprinkling</c><01:00:18.840><c> blood,</c><01:00:19.239><c> blood,</c><01:00:19.539><c> blood</c><01:00:19.760><c> on</c><01:00:20.099><c> people.</c>

01:00:20.420 --> 01:00:23.840
This<01:00:20.780><c> is</c><01:00:20.900><c> what</c><01:00:21.119><c> it</c><01:00:21.219><c> says</c><01:00:21.860><c> in</c><01:00:22.179><c> Isaiah</c><01:00:22.500><c> 52.</c>

01:00:24.239 --> 01:00:26.519
Behold,<01:00:24.659><c> my</c><01:00:24.760><c> servant</c><01:00:25.079><c> shall</c><01:00:25.340><c> deal</c><01:00:25.980><c> prudently.</c>

01:00:26.659 --> 01:00:30.119
He<01:00:26.820><c> shall</c><01:00:27.000><c> be</c><01:00:27.380><c> exalted</c><01:00:27.800><c> and</c><01:00:28.079><c> extolled</c><01:00:28.480><c> and</c><01:00:28.519><c> be</c><01:00:28.719><c> very</c><01:00:29.079><c> high.</c>

01:00:31.179 --> 01:00:33.059
As<01:00:31.360><c> many</c><01:00:31.619><c> were</c><01:00:32.079><c> as</c><01:00:32.380><c> astounded</c><01:00:32.699><c> at</c><01:00:32.900><c> thee.</c>

01:00:33.079 --> 01:00:37.639
His<01:00:33.300><c> vision</c><01:00:33.579><c> was</c><01:00:33.840><c> so</c><01:00:34.179><c> marred</c><01:00:34.500><c> more</c><01:00:34.719><c> than</c><01:00:34.860><c> any</c><01:00:35.119><c> man</c><01:00:35.380><c> and</c><01:00:35.619><c> his</c><01:00:35.900><c> form</c><01:00:36.059><c> more</c><01:00:36.360><c> than</c><01:00:36.519><c> the</c><01:00:36.739><c> sons</c><01:00:36.940><c> of</c><01:00:37.179><c> men.</c>

01:00:38.119 --> 01:00:42.179

And<01:08:05.639><c> they're</c><01:08:05.860><c> trapped</c><01:08:06.119><c> by</c><01:08:06.519><c> circumstances.</c><01:08:07.199><c> We</c><01:08:07.340><c> were</c><01:08:07.539><c> in</c><01:08:07.679><c> Norfolk</c><01:08:08.039><c> by</c>

this<01:08:08.519><c> fellowship.</c>

01:08:10.880 --> 01:08:16.460
So<01:08:11.219><c> unless</c><01:08:11.440><c> the</c><01:08:11.719><c> doctrinal</c><01:08:12.119><c> route</c><01:08:12.320><c> is</c><01:08:12.659><c> resolved</c><01:08:13.260><c> or</c><01:08:15.219><c> some</c><01:08:15.639><c> kind</c><01:08:16.140><c> of</c>

01:08:17.880 --> 01:08:21.699
but<01:08:18.000><c> I</c><01:08:18.060><c> think</c><01:08:18.260><c> provision</c><01:08:18.600><c> is</c><01:08:18.819><c> a</c><01:08:18.960><c> better</c><01:08:19.119><c> word</c><01:08:19.460><c> because</c><01:08:20.060><c> provision</c><01:08:20.739><c> is</c><01:08:21.420><c> a</c>

01:08:21.699 --> 01:08:22.979
godly<01:08:22.760><c> spirit.</c>

01:08:23.100 --> 01:08:25.220
It's<01:08:23.220><c> a</c><01:08:23.359><c> Christ</c><01:08:23.579><c> like</c><01:08:23.800><c> spirit.</c><01:08:24.220><c> God</c><01:08:24.359><c> made</c><01:08:24.520><c> a</c><01:08:24.739><c> provision</c><01:08:24.939><c> for</c>

01:08:28.180 --> 01:08:33.140
So<01:08:28.359><c> can</c><01:08:28.640><c> we</c><01:08:28.800><c> not</c><01:08:28.960><c> as</c><01:08:29.460><c> central</c><01:08:29.840><c> brethren</c><01:08:30.260><c> find</c><01:08:30.720><c> a</c><01:08:30.960><c> provision</c><01:08:31.359><c> for</c><01:08:32.100><c> those</c><01:08:32.579><c> in</c>

01:08:39.899 --> 01:08:44.840
Because<01:08:40.460><c> if</c><01:08:41.020><c> we</c><01:08:41.180><c> can't</c><01:08:41.380><c> do</c><01:08:41.560><c> that,</c><01:08:43.140><c> they</c><01:08:43.300><c> will</c><01:08:43.520><c> remain</c><01:08:43.800><c> separated.</c>

01:08:52.340 --> 01:08:52.920

01:08:53.220 --> 01:08:55.819
