I<00:29:06.819><c> think</c><00:29:06.980><c> through</c><00:29:07.160><c> the</c><00:29:07.339><c> works</c><00:29:07.519><c> of</c><00:29:07.660><c> the</c><00:29:07.799><c> law</c><00:29:08.019><c> and</c><00:29:08.359><c> then</c><00:29:08.440><c> they</c><00:29:08.559><c> go</c>

00:29:08.700 --> 00:29:10.680
back<00:29:08.859><c> and</c><00:29:09.039><c> say,</c><00:29:09.039><c> oh</c><00:29:09.160><c> no,</c><00:29:09.400><c> no,</c><00:29:09.559><c> perhaps</c><00:29:09.900><c> Christ</c><00:29:10.180><c> did</c><00:29:10.380><c> die</c><00:29:10.539><c> for</c>

00:29:10.680 --> 00:29:11.220
my<00:29:10.859><c> sins.</c>

00:29:11.660 --> 00:29:14.119
Now<00:29:11.839><c> these</c><00:29:12.000><c> two</c><00:29:12.200><c> principles</c><00:29:12.559><c> are</c><00:29:13.019><c> mutually</c><00:29:13.359><c> exclusive</c>

00:29:14.599 --> 00:29:17.440
and<00:29:15.000><c> by</c><00:29:15.180><c> changing</c><00:29:15.500><c> their</c><00:29:15.779><c> mind</c><00:29:16.140><c> they</c><00:29:16.460><c> effectively</c><00:29:16.859><c> require</c>

00:29:17.440 --> 00:29:20.279
Christ<00:29:17.799><c> to</c><00:29:17.980><c> die</c><00:29:18.140><c> twice</c><00:29:18.640><c> for</c><00:29:19.079><c> themselves</c>

00:29:20.700 --> 00:29:22.519
which<00:29:21.099><c> is</c><00:29:21.259><c> what</c><00:29:21.500><c> Paul</c><00:29:21.980><c> says</c><00:29:22.279><c> there.</c>

00:29:22.539 --> 00:29:26.180
They<00:29:22.700><c> crucify</c><00:29:23.339><c> to</c><00:29:23.539><c> themselves</c><00:29:23.980><c> the</c><00:29:24.240><c> Son</c><00:29:24.400><c> of</c><00:29:24.599><c> God</c><00:29:24.960><c> afresh</c><00:29:25.680><c> and</c>

00:29:26.180 --> 00:29:27.900
put<00:29:26.319><c> him</c><00:29:26.460><c> to</c><00:29:26.599><c> an</c><00:29:26.759><c> open</c><00:29:26.960><c> shame.</c>

00:29:28.660 --> 00:29:30.960
For<00:29:28.819><c> the</c><00:29:29.000><c> earth,</c><00:29:29.140><c> he</c><00:29:29.319><c> says</c><00:29:29.460><c> in</c><00:29:29.660><c> verse</c><00:29:29.819><c> 7,</c><00:29:30.400><c> which</c><00:29:30.519><c> drinketh</c><00:29:30.799><c> in</c>

00:29:30.960 --> 00:29:32.779
the<00:29:31.140><c> rain,</c><00:29:31.740><c> that</c><00:29:31.880><c> cometh</c><00:29:32.099><c> oft</c><00:29:32.339><c> upon</c><00:29:32.599><c> it</c>

00:29:32.779 --> 00:29:35.799

00:29:38.119 --> 00:29:40.460
But<00:29:38.240><c> that</c><00:29:38.420><c> which</c><00:29:38.579><c> beareth</c><00:29:38.960><c> thorns</c><00:29:39.200><c> and</c><00:29:39.460><c> brides</c><00:29:39.720><c> is</c><00:29:39.920><c> rejected</c>

00:29:43.880 --> 00:29:47.960
So<00:29:44.180><c> here</c><00:29:44.400><c> the</c><00:29:44.539><c> analogy</c><00:29:44.859><c> of</c><00:29:45.039><c> the</c><00:29:45.240><c> spirit</c><00:29:45.440><c> gifts</c><00:29:45.799><c> is</c><00:29:46.140><c> like</c><00:29:47.200><c> being</c>

And<00:29:53.079><c> the</c><00:29:53.200><c> aim</c><00:29:53.319><c> of</c><00:29:53.539><c> such</c><00:29:53.759><c> rain</c><00:29:54.319><c> falling</c><00:29:54.779><c> on</c><00:29:54.980><c> the</c><00:29:55.119><c> earth</c><00:29:55.279><c> is</c><00:29:55.559><c> to</c>

the<00:29:58.880><c> spirit.</c>

00:30:00.119 --> 00:30:05.380
If<00:30:00.579><c> instead</c><00:30:01.039><c> of</c><00:30:01.160><c> using</c><00:30:01.380><c> it</c><00:30:01.519><c> to</c><00:30:01.660><c> do</c><00:30:01.839><c> that,</c><00:30:02.339><c> to</c><00:30:02.579><c> use</c><00:30:02.839><c> those</c><00:30:03.160><c> blessings</c><00:30:03.500><c> to</c><00:30:03.720><c> produce</c><00:30:04.539><c> the</c><00:30:05.180><c> fruit</c><00:30:05.279><c> of</c>

to<00:30:08.000><c> produce</c><00:30:08.299><c> thorns</c><00:30:08.720><c> and</c><00:30:09.000><c> brides,</c>

00:30:09.380 --> 00:30:14.799
the<00:30:09.519><c> works</c><00:30:09.680><c> of</c><00:30:09.819><c> the</c><00:30:10.000><c> flesh</c><00:30:10.160><c> if</c><00:30:10.339><c> you</c><00:30:10.500><c> like</c><00:30:11.140><c> from</c><00:30:11.819><c> Genesis</c><00:30:12.200><c> chapter</c><00:30:12.519><c> 3,</c><00:30:13.880><c> then</c><00:30:14.119><c> there</c><00:30:14.279><c> can</c><00:30:14.460><c> be</c>

00:30:14.799 --> 00:30:15.900
only<00:30:15.140><c> one</c><00:30:15.460><c> result.</c>

00:30:16.220 --> 00:30:21.079
That's<00:30:16.559><c> the</c><00:30:16.720><c> destruction</c><00:30:17.299><c> of</c><00:30:17.900><c> both</c><00:30:18.140><c> us</c><00:30:18.759><c> and</c><00:30:19.460><c> of</c><00:30:19.660><c> our</c><00:30:19.900><c> works</c><00:30:20.240><c> whose</c><00:30:20.559><c> end</c><00:30:20.839><c> is</c>

00:30:25.119 --> 00:30:28.960
So,<00:30:25.660><c> Hebrews</c><00:30:26.200><c> says</c><00:30:26.519><c> it's</c><00:30:26.799><c> impossible</c><00:30:27.240><c> to</c><00:30:27.740><c> renew</c><00:30:28.000><c> people</c><00:30:28.440><c> in</c>

this<00:30:29.259><c> idea.</c>

00:30:29.960 --> 00:30:33.619
So<00:30:30.119><c> here</c><00:30:30.339><c> once</c><00:30:30.599><c> again</c><00:30:30.779><c> we</c><00:30:30.940><c> have</c><00:30:31.119><c> this</c><00:30:31.460><c> idea</c><00:30:31.779><c> of</c><00:30:31.960><c> an</c><00:30:32.180><c> unforgivable</c><00:30:32.700><c> sin.</c>

00:30:33.900 --> 00:30:36.720
So<00:30:34.039><c> the</c><00:30:34.319><c> context</c><00:30:34.660><c> is</c><00:30:34.880><c> brethren</c><00:30:35.200><c> who</c><00:30:35.420><c> have</c><00:30:35.640><c> been</c><00:30:36.339><c> converted</c>

00:30:39.380 --> 00:30:42.559

00:30:42.559 --> 00:30:46.420
as<00:30:42.779><c> we've</c><00:30:43.019><c> seen,</c><00:30:44.079><c> and</c><00:30:44.279><c> then</c><00:30:44.440><c> they</c><00:30:44.700><c> revert</c><00:30:44.920><c> back</c><00:30:45.180><c> to</c><00:30:45.440><c> Judaism.</c>

00:30:46.819 --> 00:30:49.960

00:30:54.460 --> 00:30:58.140
They've<00:30:54.700><c> effectively</c><00:30:55.039><c> crucified</c><00:30:55.720><c> Christ</c><00:30:56.099><c> twice</c><00:30:56.779><c> and</c><00:30:57.720><c> they've</c><00:30:57.980><c> used</c>

worse<00:31:35.400><c> with</c><00:31:35.619><c> them</c><00:31:35.859><c> than</c><00:31:36.000><c> the</c><00:31:36.200><c> beginning.</c>

00:31:36.559 --> 00:31:39.559
For<00:31:36.940><c> it</c><00:31:37.519><c> had</c><00:31:37.660><c> been</c><00:31:37.859><c> far</c><00:31:38.099><c> better</c><00:31:38.259><c> of</c><00:31:38.380><c> them</c><00:31:38.539><c> not</c><00:31:38.740><c> to</c><00:31:38.920><c> know</c><00:31:39.000><c> the</c><00:31:39.099><c> way</c><00:31:39.359><c> of</c>

righteousness<00:31:39.960><c> than</c><00:31:40.339><c> after</c><00:31:40.700><c> they</c><00:31:40.859><c> have</c><00:31:41.019><c> known</c><00:31:41.200><c> it</c><00:31:41.359><c> to</c><00:31:41.539><c> turn</c>

00:31:41.759 --> 00:31:44.119
from<00:31:41.920><c> the</c><00:31:42.099><c> Holy</c><00:31:42.279><c> Commandment</c><00:31:42.740><c> delivered</c><00:31:43.000><c> unto</c><00:31:43.200><c> them.</c>

00:31:44.619 --> 00:31:47.640
But<00:31:44.819><c> it</c><00:31:44.980><c> has</c><00:31:45.200><c> happened</c><00:31:45.359><c> unto</c><00:31:45.579><c> them</c><00:31:45.859><c> according</c><00:31:46.240><c> to</c><00:31:46.440><c> the</c><00:31:46.599><c> true</c><00:31:46.779><c> proverb,</c>

00:31:47.740 --> 00:31:51.779
the<00:31:47.799><c> dog</c><00:31:48.079><c> is</c><00:31:48.599><c> turned</c><00:31:48.880><c> into</c><00:31:49.119><c> its</c><00:31:49.319><c> own</c><00:31:49.480><c> vomit</c><00:31:49.660><c> again</c><00:31:50.099><c> and</c><00:31:50.660><c> the</c><00:31:50.880><c> sow</c><00:31:51.039><c> that</c><00:31:51.180><c> was</c><00:31:51.400><c> washed</c><00:31:51.599><c> to</c>

00:31:53.220 --> 00:31:58.759
So<00:31:53.460><c> Peter</c><00:31:53.920><c> reinforces</c><00:31:54.980><c> the</c><00:31:55.519><c> danger,</c><00:31:55.839><c> once</c><00:31:56.079><c> again</c><00:31:56.240><c> he's</c><00:31:56.460><c> writing</c><00:31:56.700><c> to</c><00:31:57.119><c> Jews</c><00:31:57.359><c> here</c><00:31:57.640><c> in</c><00:31:57.859><c> particular,</c>

00:31:58.880 --> 00:32:02.359

the<00:32:02.539><c> Pharisees.</c>

00:32:04.000 --> 00:32:07.200
And<00:32:04.519><c> because</c><00:32:05.039><c> of</c><00:32:05.200><c> the</c><00:32:05.420><c> special</c><00:32:05.680><c> condemnation</c><00:32:06.319><c> that</c><00:32:06.500><c> these</c><00:32:06.779><c> brethren</c><00:32:07.000><c> or</c>

00:32:07.200 --> 00:32:08.599
sisters<00:32:07.539><c> will</c><00:32:07.759><c> receive</c><00:32:08.099><c> at</c><00:32:08.240><c> the</c><00:32:08.380><c> judgment,</c>

00:32:08.700 --> 00:32:11.119
Peter<00:32:08.900><c> says</c><00:32:09.279><c> it's</c><00:32:09.839><c> really</c><00:32:10.119><c> better</c><00:32:10.380><c> for</c><00:32:10.539><c> them</c><00:32:10.720><c> that</c><00:32:10.839><c> they</c><00:32:11.019><c> had</c>

00:32:11.119 --> 00:32:14.140
never<00:32:11.720><c> known</c><00:32:11.960><c> the</c><00:32:12.259><c> truth</c><00:32:12.519><c> in</c><00:32:12.799><c> the</c><00:32:12.960><c> first</c><00:32:13.200><c> place.</c>

00:32:15.460 --> 00:32:20.319
Now<00:32:15.599><c> I</c><00:32:15.640><c> think</c><00:32:15.779><c> there's</c><00:32:16.039><c> two</c><00:32:17.039><c> prime</c><00:32:17.440><c> examples</c><00:32:17.980><c> in</c><00:32:18.240><c> history</c><00:32:18.680><c> of</c>

00:32:20.319 --> 00:32:23.819
people<00:32:20.900><c> who</c><00:32:21.140><c> have</c><00:32:21.359><c> committed</c><00:32:21.680><c> this</c><00:32:22.259><c> sin</c><00:32:22.460><c> of</c><00:32:23.019><c> blasphemy</c><00:32:23.380><c> against</c><00:32:23.619><c> the</c>

00:32:23.819 --> 00:32:25.019
Holy<00:32:23.980><c> Spirit.</c>

00:32:25.900 --> 00:32:28.299
The<00:32:26.180><c> first</c><00:32:26.339><c> is</c><00:32:26.519><c> obviously</c><00:32:26.859><c> the</c><00:32:27.079><c> scribes</c><00:32:27.319><c> and</c><00:32:27.420><c> the</c><00:32:27.619><c> Pharisees</c>

00:32:28.299 --> 00:32:32.200
and<00:32:28.660><c> some</c><00:32:28.980><c> of</c><00:32:29.099><c> their</c><00:32:29.900><c> believers</c><00:32:30.440><c> in</c><00:32:31.339><c> the</c><00:32:31.500><c> first</c><00:32:31.740><c> century.</c>

00:32:32.200 --> 00:32:34.440
But<00:32:32.579><c> I</c><00:32:32.579><c> think</c><00:32:32.759><c> Israel</c><00:32:33.160><c> is</c><00:32:33.359><c> also,</c><00:32:33.700><c> Israel</c><00:32:33.940><c> in</c><00:32:34.079><c> the</c><00:32:34.200><c> wilderness</c>

00:32:34.440 --> 00:32:37.180
is<00:32:34.700><c> another</c><00:32:34.940><c> example</c><00:32:35.519><c> of</c><00:32:35.819><c> this.</c>

00:32:37.220 --> 00:32:40.380
Both<00:32:37.440><c> periods</c><00:32:37.859><c> are</c><00:32:38.119><c> associated</c><00:32:38.619><c> with</c><00:32:39.380><c> an</c><00:32:39.779><c> outpouring</c><00:32:40.099><c> of</c><00:32:40.240><c> the</c>

00:32:40.380 --> 00:32:42.059
Holy<00:32:40.539><c> Spirit</c><00:32:40.839><c> gifts</c><00:32:41.039><c> to</c><00:32:41.220><c> men.</c>

00:32:42.579 --> 00:32:45.359
And<00:32:42.839><c> yet</c><00:32:42.980><c> even</c><00:32:43.319><c> some</c><00:32:43.559><c> of</c><00:32:43.680><c> those</c><00:32:43.880><c> who</c><00:32:44.400><c> perform</c><00:32:44.759><c> the</c><00:32:44.980><c> miracles</c>

00:32:45.359 --> 00:32:47.140
refuse<00:32:45.940><c> to</c><00:32:46.259><c> believe.</c>

00:32:48.099 --> 00:32:51.779
So<00:32:48.279><c> if</c><00:32:48.380><c> you</c><00:32:48.460><c> think</c><00:32:48.599><c> about</c><00:32:48.859><c> Israel</c><00:32:49.299><c> in</c><00:32:49.440><c> the</c><00:32:49.579><c> wilderness</c><00:32:49.940><c> for</c><00:32:51.359><c> a</c>

00:32:51.779 --> 00:32:54.380
moment,<00:32:52.019><c> every</c><00:32:52.259><c> morning</c><00:32:52.519><c> they</c><00:32:52.740><c> woke</c><00:32:52.980><c> up</c><00:32:53.480><c> and</c><00:32:53.660><c> there</c><00:32:53.839><c> was</c><00:32:53.980><c> manna</c><00:32:54.240><c> on</c>

00:32:54.380 --> 00:32:54.880
the<00:32:54.559><c> ground.</c>

00:32:54.880 --> 00:32:59.279
It<00:32:55.700><c> would</c><00:32:55.880><c> be</c><00:32:55.980><c> like</c><00:32:56.299><c> us</c><00:32:56.640><c> waking</c><00:32:57.119><c> up</c><00:32:57.359><c> and</c><00:32:57.460><c> each</c><00:32:57.640><c> morning</c><00:32:57.859><c> opening</c><00:32:58.119><c> the</c><00:32:58.299><c> door</c><00:32:58.500><c> and</c><00:32:58.680><c> there's</c><00:32:59.079><c> a</c>

00:32:59.279 --> 00:33:03.519

00:33:04.700 --> 00:33:06.940
But<00:33:04.960><c> it's</c><00:33:05.099><c> even</c><00:33:05.319><c> better</c><00:33:05.420><c> than</c><00:33:05.559><c> that</c><00:33:05.660><c> because</c><00:33:05.819><c> we</c><00:33:06.039><c> could</c><00:33:06.240><c> assume</c><00:33:06.640><c> that</c>

00:33:06.940 --> 00:33:10.180
some<00:33:07.220><c> kindly</c><00:33:07.500><c> brother</c><00:33:07.799><c> or</c><00:33:08.000><c> sister</c><00:33:08.299><c> or</c><00:33:08.720><c> neighbour</c><00:33:09.059><c> had</c><00:33:09.539><c> dropped</c><00:33:09.880><c> a</c><00:33:10.019><c> loaf</c>

00:33:10.180 --> 00:33:11.019
of<00:33:10.339><c> bread</c><00:33:10.420><c> off</c><00:33:10.579><c> for</c><00:33:10.819><c> us.</c>

00:33:11.140 --> 00:33:13.220
Israel<00:33:11.380><c> couldn't</c><00:33:11.640><c> come</c><00:33:11.880><c> to</c><00:33:11.960><c> that</c><00:33:12.200><c> conclusion.</c>

00:33:13.740 --> 00:33:17.059
They<00:33:13.859><c> wouldn't</c><00:33:14.480><c> say</c><00:33:15.240><c> the</c><00:33:15.579><c> Amalekites</c><00:33:16.019><c> are</c><00:33:16.160><c> picking</c><00:33:16.339><c> us</c><00:33:16.859><c> off</c>

00:33:18.680 --> 00:33:21.539
but<00:33:18.859><c> perhaps</c><00:33:19.079><c> they've</c><00:33:19.339><c> left</c><00:33:19.500><c> this</c><00:33:19.779><c> bread</c><00:33:19.900><c> here</c><00:33:20.319><c> for</c><00:33:20.940><c> us</c><00:33:21.119><c> during</c><00:33:21.299><c> the</c><00:33:21.420><c> night,</c>

00:33:21.539 --> 00:33:23.960

00:33:26.359 --> 00:33:28.200
There's<00:33:26.579><c> no</c><00:33:26.779><c> way</c><00:33:26.960><c> they</c><00:33:27.140><c> could</c><00:33:27.259><c> believe</c><00:33:27.480><c> that</c><00:33:27.640><c> the</c><00:33:27.779><c> manna</c><00:33:27.920><c> came</c>

00:33:32.019 --> 00:33:35.140

00:34:02.319 --> 00:34:05.259
They<00:34:02.539><c> said,</c><00:34:03.019><c> having</c><00:34:03.039><c> been</c><00:34:03.299><c> fed</c><00:34:03.500><c> every</c><00:34:03.839><c> day</c><00:34:03.980><c> by</c><00:34:04.220><c> God,</c><00:34:04.940><c> have</c><00:34:05.099><c> you</c>

00:34:08.820 --> 00:34:11.460
They<00:34:09.260><c> refused</c><00:34:09.579><c> to</c><00:34:09.719><c> look</c><00:34:09.840><c> at</c><00:34:10.059><c> the</c><00:34:10.380><c> evidence</c><00:34:10.659><c> that</c><00:34:11.000><c> everything</c>

00:34:13.599 --> 00:34:16.460
If<00:34:13.960><c> he</c><00:34:14.079><c> wanted</c><00:34:14.280><c> them</c><00:34:14.500><c> dead,</c><00:34:14.679><c> he</c><00:34:14.780><c> would</c><00:34:14.960><c> have</c><00:34:15.079><c> left</c><00:34:15.239><c> them</c><00:34:15.420><c> in</c><00:34:15.539><c> Egypt.</c>

00:34:16.599 --> 00:34:19.800

00:34:22.340 --> 00:34:27.360

And<00:35:04.780><c> they</c><00:35:04.920><c> made</c><00:35:05.079><c> a</c><00:35:05.260><c> calf</c><00:35:05.400><c> in</c><00:35:05.539><c> those</c><00:35:05.800><c> days,</c><00:35:06.079><c> and</c><00:35:06.119><c> offered</c><00:35:06.280><c> sacrifice</c><00:35:06.860><c> unto</c>

00:35:38.780 --> 00:35:41.039
These<00:35:38.940><c> be</c><00:35:39.139><c> thy</c><00:35:39.320><c> gods,</c><00:35:39.579><c> O</c><00:35:39.659><c> Israel,</c><00:35:40.000><c> which</c><00:35:40.179><c> brought</c><00:35:40.400><c> thee</c><00:35:40.599><c> up</c><00:35:40.780><c> out</c><00:35:40.940><c> of</c>

the<00:35:41.119><c> land</c><00:35:41.320><c> of</c><00:35:41.500><c> Egypt.</c>

00:35:41.780 --> 00:35:43.739
So<00:35:41.940><c> they</c><00:35:42.139><c> attributed</c><00:35:42.460><c> all</c><00:35:42.719><c> the</c><00:35:42.880><c> miracles</c><00:35:43.199><c> that</c><00:35:43.480><c> brought</c><00:35:43.579><c> them</c>

00:35:43.739 --> 00:35:46.360
up<00:35:43.860><c> out</c><00:35:44.039><c> of</c><00:35:44.119><c> the</c><00:35:44.219><c> land</c><00:35:44.380><c> of</c><00:35:44.639><c> Egypt</c><00:35:45.039><c> to</c><00:35:45.539><c> this</c><00:35:45.880><c> golden</c><00:35:46.119><c> calf,</c>

00:35:46.440 --> 00:35:48.099

00:35:48.099 --> 00:35:54.199
So<00:35:48.579><c> exactly</c><00:35:48.980><c> the</c><00:35:49.159><c> same</c><00:35:49.380><c> sort</c><00:35:49.559><c> of</c><00:35:49.760><c> response</c><00:35:50.239><c> that</c><00:35:50.699><c> the</c><00:35:50.920><c> Pharisees</c><00:35:51.360><c> had</c><00:35:52.219><c> in</c>

00:35:57.920 --> 00:36:00.400
So<00:35:58.079><c> what's</c><00:35:58.360><c> God's</c><00:35:58.719><c> response</c><00:35:58.980><c> to</c><00:35:59.199><c> this?</c>

00:36:00.440 --> 00:36:02.639
Because<00:36:00.440><c> all</c><00:36:00.679><c> these</c><00:36:00.920><c> men</c><00:36:01.119><c> which</c><00:36:01.300><c> have</c><00:36:01.460><c> seen</c><00:36:01.659><c> my</c><00:36:01.960><c> glory</c><00:36:02.239><c> and</c><00:36:02.400><c> my</c>

00:36:07.900 --> 00:36:08.480
my<00:36:08.059><c> voice,</c>

00:36:08.900 --> 00:36:11.260
surely<00:36:09.179><c> they</c><00:36:09.400><c> shall</c><00:36:09.599><c> not</c><00:36:09.800><c> see</c><00:36:10.019><c> the</c><00:36:10.219><c> land</c><00:36:10.460><c> which</c><00:36:10.679><c> I</c><00:36:10.940><c> swear</c><00:36:11.099><c> unto</c>

00:36:11.260 --> 00:36:12.480
their<00:36:11.519><c> fathers,</c>

00:36:12.679 --> 00:36:16.159

00:36:16.780 --> 00:36:21.300
So<00:36:17.320><c> that's</c><00:36:17.559><c> God's</c><00:36:17.900><c> response</c><00:36:18.539><c> to</c><00:36:18.980><c> these</c><00:36:19.159><c> men</c><00:36:19.440><c> who</c><00:36:20.599><c> clearly</c><00:36:21.039><c> saw</c>

00:36:26.880 --> 00:36:34.159
And<00:36:27.119><c> so</c><00:36:27.599><c> if</c><00:36:28.559><c> we</c><00:36:28.699><c> turn</c><00:36:28.840><c> back</c><00:36:29.059><c> a</c><00:36:29.199><c> page</c><00:36:29.380><c> or</c><00:36:29.619><c> so</c><00:36:29.780><c> in</c><00:36:30.000><c> Hebrews</c><00:36:30.260><c> chapter</c><00:36:30.619><c> 3</c><00:36:32.159><c> and</c>

00:36:50.579 --> 00:36:53.460
When<00:36:50.719><c> your</c><00:36:50.920><c> fathers</c><00:36:51.219><c> tempted</c><00:36:51.579><c> me,</c><00:36:52.119><c> proved</c><00:36:52.300><c> me,</c><00:36:52.619><c> and</c><00:36:52.780><c> saw</c><00:36:52.900><c> my</c><00:36:53.179><c> works,</c>

00:36:58.639 --> 00:37:00.820
Wherefore,<00:36:59.059><c> I</c><00:36:59.219><c> was</c><00:36:59.440><c> grieved</c><00:36:59.619><c> with</c><00:36:59.780><c> that</c><00:36:59.940><c> generation,</c><00:37:00.579><c> and</c><00:37:00.699><c> said,</c>

00:37:00.960 --> 00:37:04.539
They<00:37:01.000><c> do</c><00:37:01.260><c> always</c><00:37:01.639><c> err</c><00:37:01.880><c> in</c><00:37:02.019><c> their</c><00:37:02.219><c> hearts,</c><00:37:03.139><c> they</c><00:37:03.280><c> have</c><00:37:03.400><c> not</c><00:37:03.619><c> known</c><00:37:03.760><c> my</c><00:37:04.019><c> ways,</c>

00:37:04.820 --> 00:37:09.420

00:37:10.139 --> 00:37:13.659
So<00:37:10.659><c> think</c><00:37:11.000><c> about</c><00:37:11.179><c> the</c><00:37:11.380><c> twisted</c><00:37:11.639><c> logic,</c><00:37:12.320><c> the</c><00:37:12.500><c> sort</c><00:37:12.679><c> of</c><00:37:12.880><c> steering</c><00:37:13.039><c> of</c><00:37:13.219><c> the</c><00:37:13.380><c> conscience</c>

00:37:26.099 --> 00:37:29.500
The<00:37:26.340><c> miracles</c><00:37:26.579><c> were</c><00:37:26.860><c> obviously</c><00:37:27.320><c> directly</c><00:37:28.079><c> as</c><00:37:28.719><c> a</c><00:37:28.880><c> result</c><00:37:29.099><c> of</c><00:37:29.300><c> a</c>

So<00:37:56.519><c> I</c><00:37:56.579><c> believe</c><00:37:56.739><c> that's</c><00:37:57.679><c> blasphemy</c><00:37:58.000><c> against</c><00:37:58.280><c> the</c><00:37:58.460><c> Holy</c><00:37:58.659><c> Spirit.</c>

00:37:58.980 --> 00:38:01.480
I<00:37:59.059><c> don't</c><00:37:59.320><c> think</c><00:37:59.639><c> we</c><00:37:59.920><c> have</c><00:38:00.019><c> the</c><00:38:00.119><c> opportunity</c><00:38:00.559><c> to</c><00:38:00.760><c> commit</c><00:38:00.920><c> that</c><00:38:01.219><c> today,</c>

00:38:01.480 --> 00:38:05.340
because<00:38:01.800><c> obviously</c><00:38:02.179><c> we</c><00:38:02.300><c> don't</c><00:38:02.519><c> have</c><00:38:02.699><c> the</c><00:38:04.320><c> same</c><00:38:04.480><c> context</c><00:38:05.039><c> of</c>

00:38:06.539 --> 00:38:11.280
and<00:38:07.360><c> the</c><00:38:07.639><c> clear</c><00:38:07.780><c> demonstration</c><00:38:08.320><c> of</c><00:38:08.480><c> God's</c><00:38:08.920><c> power</c><00:38:09.780><c> being</c><00:38:10.340><c> demonstrated</c><00:38:11.099><c> that</c>

00:38:11.280 --> 00:38:12.500
we<00:38:11.460><c> can</c><00:38:12.039><c> commit</c><00:38:12.239><c> that</c><00:38:12.440><c> sin.</c>

00:38:12.579 --> 00:38:15.619
So<00:38:12.679><c> we</c><00:38:12.800><c> don't</c><00:38:12.980><c> have</c><00:38:13.159><c> the</c><00:38:13.599><c> opportunity</c><00:38:14.179><c> to</c><00:38:14.480><c> commit</c><00:38:15.000><c> that</c><00:38:15.380><c> sin</c>

00:38:15.619 --> 00:38:20.780
today,<00:38:19.119><c> which</c><00:38:19.239><c> is</c><00:38:19.440><c> the</c><00:38:19.579><c> short</c><00:38:19.719><c> answer.</c>

00:38:22.820 --> 00:38:26.099
Can<00:38:22.960><c> I</c><00:38:23.139><c> ask</c><00:38:23.380><c> God</c><00:38:23.559><c> to</c><00:38:23.980><c> forgive</c><00:38:24.519><c> someone</c><00:38:24.920><c> else's</c><00:38:25.739><c> sins?</c>

00:38:26.099 --> 00:38:29.980
Now<00:38:26.559><c> we've</c><00:38:26.800><c> talked</c><00:38:26.980><c> a</c><00:38:27.139><c> lot</c><00:38:27.480><c> in</c><00:38:27.980><c> the</c><00:38:28.139><c> previous</c><00:38:28.500><c> three</c><00:38:29.320><c> classes</c>

00:38:29.980 --> 00:38:31.199
about<00:38:30.280><c> those</c><00:38:30.619><c> three</c><00:38:30.860><c> principles</c>

00:38:31.199 --> 00:38:33.760
that<00:38:31.559><c> are</c><00:38:32.000><c> needed</c><00:38:32.219><c> to</c><00:38:32.519><c> forgive</c><00:38:32.719><c> sins.</c>

00:38:34.539 --> 00:38:38.059
We<00:38:34.780><c> can</c><00:38:34.960><c> ask</c><00:38:35.219><c> God</c><00:38:35.619><c> to</c><00:38:36.719><c> overlook</c><00:38:37.099><c> someone</c><00:38:37.400><c> else's</c><00:38:37.840><c> sins,</c>

00:38:38.059 --> 00:38:41.300
but<00:38:38.280><c> without</c><00:38:38.599><c> those</c><00:38:38.940><c> three</c><00:38:39.219><c> principles</c><00:38:39.559><c> being</c><00:38:39.940><c> followed,</c><00:38:40.920><c> I</c>

00:38:41.300 --> 00:38:43.800
don't<00:38:41.519><c> believe</c><00:38:41.900><c> that</c><00:38:42.099><c> God</c><00:38:42.300><c> will</c><00:38:42.659><c> forgive</c><00:38:42.920><c> them.</c>

00:38:44.139 --> 00:38:48.179
Have<00:38:44.320><c> a</c><00:38:44.420><c> look</c><00:38:44.619><c> at</c><00:38:45.300><c> 1</c><00:38:45.539><c> John</c><00:38:45.739><c> 5,</c><00:38:46.400><c> which</c><00:38:46.579><c> is</c><00:38:46.760><c> where</c><00:38:46.940><c> this</c><00:38:47.280><c> idea</c>

00:38:48.179 --> 00:38:50.760
springs<00:38:49.420><c> from</c><00:38:49.699><c> mostly.</c>

00:38:51.559 --> 00:39:11.440
1<00:38:52.039><c> John</c><00:38:52.420><c> 5</c><00:39:04.099><c> and</c><00:39:06.300><c> verse</c><00:39:06.559><c> 14.</c>

00:39:11.579 --> 00:39:13.500
And<00:39:11.800><c> this</c><00:39:11.940><c> is</c><00:39:12.119><c> the</c><00:39:12.239><c> confidence</c><00:39:12.579><c> that</c><00:39:12.739><c> we</c><00:39:12.880><c> have</c><00:39:12.980><c> in</c><00:39:13.139><c> him,</c><00:39:13.400><c> that</c>

00:39:13.500 --> 00:39:16.659
if<00:39:13.639><c> we</c><00:39:13.880><c> ask</c><00:39:14.159><c> anything</c><00:39:14.619><c> according</c><00:39:15.099><c> to</c><00:39:15.300><c> his</c><00:39:15.539><c> will,</c><00:39:16.000><c> he</c><00:39:16.280><c> heareth</c><00:39:16.500><c> us.</c>

00:39:16.659 --> 00:39:19.320
So<00:39:16.860><c> it's</c><00:39:16.980><c> got</c><00:39:17.059><c> to</c><00:39:17.219><c> be</c><00:39:17.539><c> according</c><00:39:17.900><c> to</c><00:39:18.239><c> his</c><00:39:18.480><c> will.</c>

00:39:19.619 --> 00:39:23.460
And<00:39:20.059><c> if</c><00:39:20.239><c> we</c><00:39:20.719><c> know</c><00:39:21.179><c> that</c><00:39:21.400><c> he</c><00:39:21.579><c> hear</c><00:39:21.780><c> us,</c><00:39:22.219><c> whatsoever</c><00:39:22.579><c> we</c><00:39:22.920><c> ask,</c><00:39:23.400><c> we</c>

00:39:23.460 --> 00:39:26.800
know<00:39:23.639><c> that</c><00:39:23.920><c> we</c><00:39:24.119><c> have</c><00:39:24.300><c> the</c><00:39:24.559><c> petitions</c><00:39:24.940><c> that</c><00:39:25.119><c> we</c><00:39:25.420><c> desire</c><00:39:25.619><c> of</c><00:39:25.800><c> him.</c>

00:39:27.280 --> 00:39:30.219
If<00:39:27.320><c> any</c><00:39:27.579><c> man</c><00:39:27.780><c> see</c><00:39:28.019><c> a</c><00:39:28.179><c> brother</c><00:39:28.380><c> sin,</c><00:39:28.739><c> a</c><00:39:28.920><c> sin</c><00:39:29.059><c> which</c><00:39:29.300><c> is</c><00:39:29.460><c> not</c><00:39:29.619><c> unto</c><00:39:29.820><c> death,</c>

00:39:30.659 --> 00:39:33.780
he<00:39:30.820><c> shall</c><00:39:31.039><c> ask</c><00:39:31.460><c> and</c><00:39:31.579><c> he</c><00:39:31.780><c> shall</c><00:39:31.880><c> give</c><00:39:32.039><c> him</c><00:39:32.260><c> life</c><00:39:32.679><c> for</c><00:39:33.139><c> them</c><00:39:33.500><c> that</c>

00:39:35.860 --> 00:39:38.079
There<00:39:36.019><c> is</c><00:39:36.219><c> a</c><00:39:36.340><c> sin</c><00:39:36.440><c> unto</c><00:39:36.639><c> death,</c><00:39:36.940><c> I</c><00:39:37.099><c> do</c><00:39:37.239><c> not</c><00:39:37.460><c> say</c><00:39:37.639><c> that</c><00:39:37.760><c> he</c><00:39:37.960><c> shall</c>

00:39:39.400 --> 00:39:42.639
All<00:39:39.639><c> unrighteousness</c><00:39:40.320><c> is</c><00:39:40.519><c> sin</c><00:39:40.900><c> and</c><00:39:41.380><c> there</c><00:39:41.559><c> is</c><00:39:41.739><c> a</c><00:39:41.920><c> sin</c><00:39:42.300><c> not</c>

00:39:44.159 --> 00:39:47.219
So<00:39:44.559><c> clearly</c><00:39:44.960><c> this</c><00:39:45.139><c> is</c><00:39:45.280><c> in</c><00:39:45.360><c> the</c><00:39:45.500><c> context</c><00:39:45.880><c> of</c><00:39:46.519><c> petitioning</c><00:39:47.039><c> God</c>

00:40:04.420 --> 00:40:07.800
We<00:40:04.820><c> also</c><00:40:05.079><c> need</c><00:40:05.219><c> to</c><00:40:05.400><c> note</c><00:40:05.519><c> that</c><00:40:05.699><c> in</c><00:40:05.860><c> verse</c><00:40:06.039><c> 16,</c><00:40:06.760><c> the</c><00:40:06.900><c> offender</c><00:40:07.199><c> here</c><00:40:07.480><c> is</c><00:40:07.659><c> a</c>

00:40:09.059 --> 00:40:11.780
It's<00:40:09.239><c> not</c><00:40:09.360><c> just</c><00:40:09.599><c> some</c><00:40:10.019><c> neighbour</c><00:40:10.320><c> or</c><00:40:10.539><c> some</c><00:40:11.239><c> sort</c><00:40:11.559><c> of</c><00:40:11.559><c> random</c>

00:40:15.519 --> 00:40:19.199

00:40:23.039 --> 00:40:25.199
So<00:40:23.199><c> obviously</c><00:40:23.480><c> it's</c><00:40:23.880><c> in</c><00:40:24.139><c> the</c><00:40:24.280><c> form</c><00:40:24.440><c> of</c><00:40:24.619><c> a</c><00:40:24.739><c> prayer</c><00:40:24.840><c> that</c><00:40:25.000><c> we're</c>

asking<00:40:25.440><c> for</c><00:40:25.619><c> this</c><00:40:25.860><c> forgiveness.</c>

00:40:27.539 --> 00:40:30.619
So<00:40:27.739><c> he's</c><00:40:27.880><c> definitely</c><00:40:28.159><c> asking</c><00:40:28.519><c> God</c><00:40:28.840><c> on</c><00:40:29.099><c> behalf</c><00:40:29.400><c> of</c><00:40:29.579><c> this</c><00:40:29.739><c> offender.</c>

00:40:31.039 --> 00:40:33.980
Now<00:40:31.199><c> I'll</c><00:40:31.400><c> suggest</c><00:40:31.659><c> here</c><00:40:31.860><c> that</c><00:40:32.039><c> the</c><00:40:32.280><c> sin</c><00:40:32.699><c> which</c><00:40:33.239><c> is</c><00:40:33.460><c> unto</c><00:40:33.599><c> death</c><00:40:33.880><c> here</c>

00:40:33.980 --> 00:40:36.059
is<00:40:34.099><c> not</c><00:40:34.340><c> talking</c><00:40:34.559><c> about</c><00:40:34.760><c> the</c><00:40:35.059><c> unforgivable</c><00:40:35.500><c> sin</c><00:40:35.719><c> that</c><00:40:35.880><c> we've</c>

00:40:36.059 --> 00:40:37.340
just<00:40:36.260><c> looked</c><00:40:36.460><c> at.</c>

00:40:37.440 --> 00:40:40.900
But<00:40:37.920><c> I</c><00:40:38.099><c> think</c><00:40:38.239><c> it's</c><00:40:38.460><c> a</c><00:40:38.579><c> sin</c><00:40:38.659><c> that</c><00:40:38.840><c> hasn't</c><00:40:39.079><c> been</c><00:40:39.380><c> repented</c><00:40:39.719><c> of.</c>

00:40:41.219 --> 00:40:43.780
So<00:40:41.320><c> the</c><00:40:41.460><c> offender</c><00:40:41.760><c> here</c><00:40:42.079><c> hasn't</c><00:40:42.400><c> satisfied</c><00:40:43.000><c> those</c><00:40:43.519><c> three</c>

00:40:43.780 --> 00:40:45.099
conditions<00:40:44.199><c> that</c><00:40:44.360><c> we've</c><00:40:44.639><c> spoken</c><00:40:44.840><c> about,</c>

00:40:45.119 --> 00:40:48.780
faith,<00:40:45.840><c> repentance</c><00:40:46.400><c> and</c><00:40:47.460><c> forgiving</c><00:40:47.800><c> others.</c>

00:40:49.139 --> 00:40:52.260
So<00:40:49.300><c> it's</c><00:40:49.440><c> not</c><00:40:49.679><c> a</c><00:40:49.860><c> sin</c><00:40:50.000><c> that</c><00:40:50.579><c> is</c><00:40:51.139><c> not</c><00:40:51.699><c> unforgivable,</c>

00:40:52.699 --> 00:40:55.619
but<00:40:53.159><c> this</c><00:40:53.400><c> person</c><00:40:53.619><c> hasn't</c><00:40:53.860><c> gone</c><00:40:54.059><c> through</c><00:40:54.340><c> the</c><00:40:55.039><c> process</c><00:40:55.480><c> that</c>

00:40:55.619 --> 00:40:58.199
we<00:40:55.739><c> need</c><00:40:55.920><c> to</c><00:40:56.039><c> go</c><00:40:56.199><c> through</c><00:40:56.380><c> if</c><00:40:56.519><c> we</c><00:40:56.639><c> want</c><00:40:56.739><c> our</c><00:40:56.960><c> sins</c><00:40:57.179><c> forgiven.</c>

00:41:00.260 --> 00:41:02.400
Now<00:41:00.480><c> John</c><00:41:00.619><c> here</c><00:41:00.820><c> obviously</c><00:41:01.119><c> suggests</c><00:41:01.500><c> that</c><00:41:01.619><c> we</c><00:41:01.739><c> can</c><00:41:01.980><c> pray</c><00:41:02.219><c> on</c>

00:41:05.400 --> 00:41:09.659
But<00:41:05.960><c> I</c><00:41:06.139><c> believe</c><00:41:06.300><c> the</c><00:41:06.519><c> issue</c><00:41:06.760><c> here</c><00:41:07.019><c> may</c><00:41:07.239><c> be</c><00:41:07.360><c> less</c><00:41:07.579><c> about</c><00:41:08.280><c> praying</c><00:41:08.719><c> on</c><00:41:09.159><c> behalf</c><00:41:09.480><c> of</c>

00:41:18.320 --> 00:41:20.500
Prayer<00:41:18.380><c> to</c><00:41:18.500><c> God</c><00:41:18.699><c> of</c><00:41:18.840><c> course</c><00:41:19.079><c> is</c><00:41:19.300><c> not</c><00:41:19.639><c> for</c><00:41:19.820><c> God's</c><00:41:20.199><c> benefit.</c>

00:41:20.840 --> 00:41:23.300
He<00:41:20.960><c> knows</c><00:41:21.460><c> exactly</c><00:41:21.960><c> what</c><00:41:22.159><c> we</c><00:41:22.340><c> need.</c>

00:41:25.679 --> 00:41:27.420
And<00:41:25.820><c> he</c><00:41:25.960><c> knows</c><00:41:26.199><c> exactly</c><00:41:26.519><c> what</c><00:41:26.699><c> we're</c><00:41:26.900><c> going</c><00:41:27.000><c> to</c><00:41:27.159><c> say.</c>

00:41:27.619 --> 00:41:30.059
Prayer<00:41:27.780><c> to</c><00:41:27.920><c> God</c><00:41:28.159><c> is</c><00:41:28.579><c> for</c><00:41:28.800><c> our</c><00:41:29.099><c> benefit.</c>

00:41:30.780 --> 00:41:33.940

00:41:33.980 --> 00:41:36.699
And<00:41:34.420><c> it's</c><00:41:34.579><c> not</c><00:41:34.760><c> really</c><00:41:34.940><c> for</c><00:41:35.039><c> that</c><00:41:35.280><c> person's</c><00:41:35.719><c> benefit</c><00:41:35.940><c> directly</c><00:41:36.360><c> either.</c>

It's<00:41:39.539><c> for</c><00:41:39.659><c> our</c><00:41:39.900><c> benefit.</c>

00:41:41.519 --> 00:41:45.300
Our<00:41:41.719><c> prayer</c><00:41:41.900><c> may</c><00:41:42.440><c> motivate</c><00:41:42.900><c> God</c><00:41:43.159><c> to</c><00:41:43.420><c> act</c><00:41:43.639><c> on</c><00:41:43.760><c> our</c><00:41:44.000><c> brother's</c><00:41:44.360><c> behalf,</c>

00:41:50.019 --> 00:41:53.039
Perhaps<00:41:50.219><c> we</c><00:41:50.360><c> need</c><00:41:50.519><c> to</c><00:41:50.739><c> approach</c><00:41:50.940><c> that</c><00:41:51.179><c> brother</c><00:41:51.400><c> or</c><00:41:51.619><c> sister</c><00:41:51.940><c> who's</c><00:41:52.360><c> been</c><00:41:52.659><c> trapped</c><00:41:52.860><c> in</c>

00:53:26.179 --> 00:53:30.460

00:53:37.920 --> 00:53:41.519
That<00:53:38.480><c> our</c><00:53:38.679><c> sins</c><00:53:38.880><c> are</c><00:53:39.159><c> sort</c><00:53:39.320><c> of</c><00:53:40.260><c> forgiven</c><00:53:40.260><c> temporarily</c><00:53:41.179><c> now</c>

00:53:41.519 --> 00:53:45.099

00:53:45.099 --> 00:53:50.099
And<00:53:45.659><c> that</c><00:53:45.800><c> was</c><00:53:45.960><c> based</c><00:53:46.260><c> on</c><00:53:46.639><c> the</c><00:53:47.659><c> parable</c><00:53:48.000><c> of</c><00:53:48.300><c> the</c><00:53:48.539><c> unforgiving</c><00:53:48.980><c> servant.</c>

00:53:50.280 --> 00:53:52.769
Matthew<00:53:50.460><c> 18</c><00:53:50.719><c> you'll</c><00:53:51.239><c> know</c><00:53:51.320><c> we</c><00:53:51.460><c> won't</c><00:53:51.659><c> turn</c><00:53:51.860><c> it</c><00:53:52.000><c> up.</c>

00:53:53.000 --> 00:53:57.260
The<00:53:53.199><c> servant's</c><00:53:53.539><c> forgiven</c><00:53:53.760><c> by</c><00:53:54.000><c> the</c><00:53:54.159><c> master</c><00:53:54.599><c> for</c><00:53:55.239><c> the</c><00:53:55.539><c> huge</c><00:53:55.800><c> debt</c><00:53:55.960><c> that</c><00:53:56.139><c> he</c><00:53:56.280><c> has.</c>

00:53:57.519 --> 00:54:00.179
But<00:53:57.639><c> then</c><00:53:57.820><c> his</c><00:53:58.079><c> forgiveness</c><00:53:58.380><c> is</c><00:53:58.679><c> revoked</c><00:53:59.099><c> because</c><00:53:59.659><c> he</c><00:54:00.000><c> fails</c>

00:54:00.179 --> 00:54:03.800
to<00:54:00.400><c> forgive</c><00:54:00.559><c> his</c><00:54:00.820><c> much</c><00:54:01.039><c> smaller</c><00:54:01.420><c> debtors</c><00:54:02.440><c> in</c><00:54:03.000><c> turn.</c>

00:54:04.440 --> 00:54:07.719
So<00:54:04.739><c> the</c><00:54:04.980><c> conclusion</c><00:54:05.300><c> drawn</c><00:54:05.500><c> from</c><00:54:05.699><c> this</c><00:54:05.900><c> is</c><00:54:06.139><c> that</c><00:54:06.320><c> if</c><00:54:06.639><c> the</c><00:54:07.119><c> forgiveness</c><00:54:07.380><c> is</c>

00:54:07.719 --> 00:54:10.320
conditional<00:54:08.000><c> in</c><00:54:08.119><c> the</c><00:54:08.300><c> parable</c><00:54:09.039><c> and</c><00:54:09.519><c> it</c><00:54:09.619><c> could</c><00:54:09.780><c> be</c><00:54:09.960><c> revoked,</c>

00:54:10.320 --> 00:54:12.559
the<00:54:10.760><c> master</c><00:54:11.079><c> says</c><00:54:11.480><c> well</c><00:54:11.860><c> if</c><00:54:11.900><c> you're</c><00:54:12.019><c> not</c><00:54:12.139><c> going</c><00:54:12.260><c> to</c><00:54:12.380><c> forgive</c>

00:54:12.559 --> 00:54:15.000
your<00:54:12.800><c> fellow</c><00:54:13.119><c> servants</c><00:54:13.440><c> then</c><00:54:13.940><c> I'm</c><00:54:14.320><c> not</c><00:54:14.460><c> going</c><00:54:14.599><c> to</c><00:54:14.699><c> forgive</c><00:54:14.840><c> you.</c>

00:54:15.119 --> 00:54:17.280
I'm<00:54:15.260><c> withdrawing</c><00:54:15.659><c> my</c><00:54:15.900><c> forgiveness</c><00:54:16.179><c> of</c><00:54:16.380><c> this</c><00:54:16.559><c> debt.</c>

00:54:18.360 --> 00:54:21.420
Then<00:54:18.880><c> the</c><00:54:19.400><c> logic</c><00:54:19.619><c> goes</c><00:54:19.900><c> then</c><00:54:20.139><c> we</c><00:54:20.260><c> won't</c><00:54:20.539><c> finally</c><00:54:20.980><c> and</c><00:54:21.199><c> totally</c>

00:54:21.420 --> 00:54:24.199
be<00:54:21.639><c> forgiven</c><00:54:22.039><c> until</c><00:54:22.659><c> the</c><00:54:22.900><c> judgment</c><00:54:23.219><c> seat.</c>

00:54:25.940 --> 00:54:28.639
Personally<00:54:26.300><c> I</c><00:54:26.480><c> find</c><00:54:26.719><c> this</c><00:54:27.199><c> fairly</c><00:54:27.500><c> unconvincing</c><00:54:28.119><c> and</c><00:54:28.300><c> really</c>

00:54:28.639 --> 00:54:31.500
probably<00:54:29.219><c> an</c><00:54:29.420><c> example</c><00:54:29.760><c> of</c><00:54:29.960><c> taking</c><00:54:30.239><c> a</c><00:54:30.519><c> parable</c><00:54:30.719><c> further</c><00:54:31.239><c> than</c>

00:54:31.500 --> 00:54:33.599
it<00:54:31.659><c> was</c><00:54:32.000><c> intended</c><00:54:32.260><c> to</c><00:54:32.420><c> be</c><00:54:32.619><c> taken.</c>

00:54:33.719 --> 00:54:37.280
The<00:54:34.280><c> master</c><00:54:34.639><c> in</c><00:54:34.800><c> the</c><00:54:35.000><c> parable</c><00:54:35.300><c> is</c><00:54:35.719><c> naturally</c><00:54:36.099><c> just</c><00:54:36.380><c> a</c><00:54:36.519><c> man</c><00:54:36.860><c> who</c>

00:54:37.280 --> 00:54:40.639
is<00:54:38.179><c> unaware</c><00:54:38.539><c> of</c><00:54:38.780><c> his</c><00:54:39.059><c> servant's</c><00:54:39.500><c> unforgiving</c><00:54:39.840><c> nature</c><00:54:40.179><c> until</c>

00:54:40.639 --> 00:54:43.699
he's<00:54:41.219><c> informed</c><00:54:41.559><c> of</c><00:54:41.659><c> it</c><00:54:41.800><c> by</c><00:54:42.059><c> his</c><00:54:42.320><c> fellow</c><00:54:42.599><c> servants.</c>

00:54:43.980 --> 00:54:47.500
Now<00:54:44.179><c> that</c><00:54:44.300><c> fits</c><00:54:44.500><c> the</c><00:54:44.659><c> nature</c><00:54:44.840><c> of</c><00:54:45.019><c> a</c><00:54:45.159><c> parable</c><00:54:45.380><c> which</c><00:54:45.579><c> is</c><00:54:45.840><c> of</c><00:54:45.940><c> course</c><00:54:46.260><c> a</c><00:54:46.559><c> story.</c>

00:54:47.760 --> 00:54:51.820
But<00:54:47.960><c> in</c><00:54:48.219><c> reality</c><00:54:48.539><c> we</c><00:54:48.679><c> know</c><00:54:48.880><c> that</c><00:54:49.039><c> God</c><00:54:49.179><c> doesn't</c><00:54:49.460><c> need</c><00:54:49.639><c> to</c><00:54:49.739><c> be</c><00:54:49.920><c> informed</c><00:54:50.300><c> about</c><00:54:50.679><c> our</c><00:54:50.940><c> attitude</c><00:54:51.360><c> by</c>

anyone<00:54:52.079><c> else.</c>

00:54:52.639 --> 00:54:55.760
He<00:54:52.780><c> knows</c><00:54:53.059><c> if</c><00:54:53.239><c> we</c><00:54:53.400><c> are</c><00:54:53.539><c> forgiving</c><00:54:53.860><c> or</c><00:54:54.300><c> unforgiving</c><00:54:55.000><c> and</c><00:54:55.579><c> will</c>

00:54:55.760 --> 00:54:59.320
extend<00:54:56.199><c> or</c><00:54:56.440><c> withhold</c><00:54:56.880><c> his</c><00:54:57.219><c> forgiveness</c><00:54:58.019><c> accordingly.</c>

00:55:00.219 --> 00:55:04.519
We<00:55:00.780><c> have</c><00:55:01.000><c> the</c><00:55:01.659><c> example</c><00:55:02.480><c> of</c><00:55:02.940><c> David</c><00:55:03.300><c> which</c><00:55:03.619><c> again</c><00:55:03.960><c> we</c><00:55:04.099><c> looked</c><00:55:04.300><c> at</c>

00:55:07.920 --> 00:55:11.239
David<00:55:08.119><c> said</c><00:55:08.300><c> unto</c><00:55:08.519><c> Nathan,</c><00:55:09.239><c> 2</c><00:55:09.420><c> Samuel</c><00:55:09.699><c> 12</c><00:55:10.039><c> verse</c><00:55:10.219><c> 13,</c><00:55:10.820><c> I</c><00:55:10.940><c> have</c>

00:55:11.239 --> 00:55:12.900
sinned<00:55:11.480><c> against</c><00:55:11.820><c> Yahweh.</c>

00:55:13.079 --> 00:55:15.800
And<00:55:13.219><c> Nathan</c><00:55:13.480><c> said</c><00:55:13.639><c> unto</c><00:55:13.880><c> David,</c><00:55:14.420><c> Yahweh</c><00:55:14.760><c> also</c><00:55:15.199><c> hath</c><00:55:15.340><c> put</c><00:55:15.559><c> away</c>

00:55:15.800 --> 00:55:18.519
thy<00:55:15.960><c> sin,</c><00:55:16.900><c> thou</c><00:55:17.079><c> shalt</c><00:55:17.300><c> not</c><00:55:17.559><c> die.</c>

00:55:18.900 --> 00:55:21.460
Now<00:55:19.179><c> that</c><00:55:19.679><c> sounds</c><00:55:20.000><c> to</c><00:55:20.179><c> me</c><00:55:20.340><c> pretty</c><00:55:20.679><c> instantaneous.</c>

00:55:21.519 --> 00:55:24.539
It<00:55:21.699><c> doesn't</c><00:55:21.920><c> seem</c><00:55:22.159><c> to</c><00:55:22.340><c> be</c><00:55:22.860><c> any</c><00:55:23.340><c> threat</c><00:55:23.519><c> of</c><00:55:23.699><c> God</c><00:55:23.840><c> holding</c><00:55:24.219><c> this</c>

sin<00:55:24.760><c> over</c><00:55:25.039><c> David's</c><00:55:25.500><c> head.</c>

00:55:27.179 --> 00:55:29.960
David<00:55:27.699><c> certainly</c><00:55:28.139><c> suffered</c><00:55:28.320><c> the</c><00:55:28.619><c> consequences</c><00:55:29.099><c> of</c><00:55:29.599><c> his</c><00:55:29.780><c> sin</c>

00:55:29.960 --> 00:55:32.579
but<00:55:30.119><c> there</c><00:55:30.320><c> doesn't</c><00:55:30.519><c> seem</c><00:55:30.719><c> to</c><00:55:30.840><c> be</c><00:55:30.920><c> much</c><00:55:31.519><c> doubt</c><00:55:32.000><c> I</c><00:55:32.199><c> think</c><00:55:32.400><c> that</c>

00:55:32.579 --> 00:55:35.739
the<00:55:32.739><c> voicing</c><00:55:33.039><c> of</c><00:55:33.219><c> his</c><00:55:33.440><c> confession</c><00:55:33.960><c> at</c><00:55:34.599><c> that</c><00:55:34.840><c> point</c><00:55:35.099><c> his</c><00:55:35.480><c> sin</c>

00:55:35.739 --> 00:55:37.880
was<00:55:36.079><c> forgiven</c><00:55:36.400><c> then</c><00:55:36.639><c> and</c><00:55:36.840><c> there.</c>

00:55:38.119 --> 00:55:41.239
And<00:55:38.260><c> to</c><00:55:38.380><c> me</c><00:55:38.480><c> it</c><00:55:38.679><c> suggests</c><00:55:38.980><c> that</c><00:55:39.239><c> our</c><00:55:39.400><c> sins</c><00:55:39.679><c> are</c><00:55:40.460><c> forgiven</c><00:55:40.800><c> now.</c>

00:55:41.619 --> 00:55:44.719
I<00:55:41.840><c> can't</c><00:55:42.119><c> believe</c><00:55:42.280><c> that</c><00:55:42.460><c> God's</c><00:55:42.719><c> going</c><00:55:42.880><c> to</c><00:55:43.760><c> revisit</c><00:55:44.159><c> this</c><00:55:44.500><c> sin</c>

00:55:44.719 --> 00:55:48.099
with<00:55:44.980><c> David</c><00:55:45.500><c> at</c><00:55:46.159><c> the</c><00:55:46.340><c> judgment</c><00:55:46.639><c> seat</c><00:55:46.840><c> for</c><00:55:47.099><c> example.</c>

00:55:50.219 --> 00:55:56.579
Another<00:55:50.659><c> example</c><00:55:51.099><c> is</c><00:55:52.800><c> Matthew</c><00:55:53.139><c> chapter</c><00:55:53.460><c> 9</c><00:55:54.400><c> and</c><00:55:55.500><c> verse</c><00:55:55.980><c> 2</c><00:55:56.280><c> to</c><00:55:56.340><c> 7.</c>

00:55:56.780 --> 00:56:00.260
The<00:55:56.900><c> example</c><00:55:57.320><c> we've</c><00:55:57.599><c> already</c><00:55:57.840><c> looked</c><00:55:58.059><c> at</c><00:55:58.219><c> of</c><00:55:58.420><c> this</c><00:55:58.900><c> man</c><00:55:59.420><c> who</c>

00:56:01.619 --> 00:56:04.300
Jesus<00:56:01.840><c> seeing</c><00:56:02.139><c> their</c><00:56:02.380><c> faith</c><00:56:02.619><c> said</c><00:56:02.840><c> unto</c><00:56:03.019><c> the</c><00:56:03.179><c> sick</c><00:56:03.320><c> of</c><00:56:03.420><c> the</c><00:56:03.559><c> palsy,</c><00:56:03.920><c> Son</c><00:56:04.079><c> be</c>

00:56:07.380 --> 00:56:09.519
Goes<00:56:07.599><c> on</c><00:56:07.800><c> to</c><00:56:07.940><c> say</c><00:56:08.079><c> later,</c><00:56:08.380><c> for</c><00:56:08.500><c> whether</c><00:56:08.719><c> it</c><00:56:08.840><c> is</c><00:56:08.960><c> easier</c><00:56:09.199><c> to</c><00:56:09.420><c> say</c>

00:56:09.519 --> 00:56:11.880
thy<00:56:09.719><c> sins</c><00:56:09.940><c> be</c><00:56:10.219><c> forgiven</c><00:56:10.440><c> thee</c><00:56:10.639><c> or</c><00:56:10.760><c> to</c><00:56:10.940><c> say</c><00:56:11.059><c> arise</c><00:56:11.360><c> and</c><00:56:11.619><c> walk.</c>

00:56:11.880 --> 00:56:14.699
Arise,<00:56:12.820><c> take</c><00:56:13.000><c> up</c><00:56:13.119><c> thy</c><00:56:13.300><c> bed</c><00:56:13.440><c> and</c><00:56:13.539><c> go</c><00:56:13.699><c> into</c><00:56:13.840><c> thy</c><00:56:14.000><c> house</c><00:56:14.380><c> and</c><00:56:14.559><c> he</c>

00:56:14.699 --> 00:56:17.820

00:56:17.840 --> 00:56:22.159
So<00:56:18.039><c> as</c><00:56:18.179><c> we've</c><00:56:18.360><c> already</c><00:56:18.559><c> seen</c><00:56:18.840><c> Jesus</c><00:56:19.159><c> draws</c><00:56:19.420><c> this</c><00:56:19.679><c> parallel</c><00:56:20.099><c> between</c><00:56:20.860><c> his</c><00:56:21.719><c> work</c><00:56:21.920><c> of</c>

00:56:25.659 --> 00:56:29.340
And<00:56:25.880><c> as</c><00:56:26.039><c> we've</c><00:56:26.239><c> discussed</c><00:56:26.599><c> the</c><00:56:26.840><c> healing</c><00:56:27.000><c> that</c><00:56:27.179><c> he</c><00:56:27.300><c> did</c><00:56:27.400><c> to</c><00:56:27.559><c> men's</c><00:56:28.019><c> physical</c><00:56:28.260><c> bodies</c><00:56:28.739><c> was</c>

00:56:29.340 --> 00:56:33.619
often<00:56:29.699><c> just</c><00:56:30.059><c> a</c><00:56:30.320><c> manifestation</c><00:56:30.860><c> of</c><00:56:31.039><c> the</c><00:56:31.300><c> true</c><00:56:31.840><c> and</c><00:56:32.539><c> more</c><00:56:32.860><c> important</c><00:56:33.159><c> healing</c><00:56:33.440><c> that</c>

00:56:33.619 --> 00:56:36.179
he<00:56:33.699><c> was</c><00:56:33.880><c> doing</c><00:56:34.320><c> to</c><00:56:34.760><c> them</c><00:56:34.960><c> spiritually.</c>

00:56:36.820 --> 00:56:41.260
Forgiving<00:56:37.260><c> their</c><00:56:37.480><c> sins</c><00:56:37.679><c> was</c><00:56:37.920><c> a</c><00:56:38.440><c> way</c><00:56:38.599><c> of</c><00:56:38.780><c> making</c><00:56:39.039><c> men</c><00:56:39.280><c> whole</c><00:56:39.619><c> that</c><00:56:39.800><c> was</c><00:56:40.059><c> symbolised</c><00:56:40.820><c> by</c>

00:56:41.260 --> 00:56:43.079
making<00:56:41.500><c> them</c><00:56:41.679><c> whole</c><00:56:41.900><c> physically</c><00:56:42.340><c> as</c><00:56:42.639><c> well.</c>

00:56:43.539 --> 00:56:45.880
And<00:56:43.679><c> Christ</c><00:56:43.840><c> clearly</c><00:56:44.179><c> had</c><00:56:44.340><c> the</c><00:56:44.519><c> power</c><00:56:44.679><c> to</c><00:56:44.860><c> do</c><00:56:44.980><c> both.</c>

00:56:46.659 --> 00:56:49.380
But<00:56:46.820><c> the</c><00:56:46.980><c> point</c><00:56:47.079><c> we</c><00:56:47.239><c> want</c><00:56:47.320><c> to</c><00:56:47.420><c> make</c><00:56:47.599><c> here</c><00:56:47.800><c> was</c><00:56:48.019><c> that</c><00:56:48.199><c> the</c><00:56:48.400><c> healing</c><00:56:48.860><c> which</c>

00:56:49.380 --> 00:56:52.679

00:56:53.460 --> 00:56:57.199
Christ<00:56:53.639><c> said</c><00:56:53.820><c> to</c><00:56:53.960><c> the</c><00:56:54.079><c> man</c><00:56:54.260><c> in</c><00:56:54.480><c> verse</c><00:56:54.760><c> 6,</c><00:56:55.139><c> thy</c><00:56:55.320><c> sins</c><00:56:55.719><c> be</c><00:56:55.980><c> forgiven</c><00:56:56.320><c> thee.</c>

00:56:58.039 --> 00:57:01.559
And<00:56:58.280><c> then</c><00:56:58.400><c> he</c><00:56:58.519><c> says</c><00:56:58.679><c> later,</c><00:57:00.000><c> arise,</c><00:57:00.380><c> take</c><00:57:00.619><c> up</c><00:57:00.739><c> thy</c><00:57:00.940><c> bed</c><00:57:01.199><c> and</c><00:57:01.400><c> go</c>

00:57:02.260 --> 00:57:07.300
Now<00:57:02.719><c> the</c><00:57:03.340><c> man</c><00:57:03.539><c> didn't</c><00:57:03.820><c> sort</c><00:57:04.039><c> of</c><00:57:04.280><c> try</c><00:57:04.739><c> and</c><00:57:04.880><c> get</c><00:57:04.980><c> up</c><00:57:05.139><c> and</c><00:57:05.539><c> then</c><00:57:05.719><c> stumble</c><00:57:06.079><c> over,</c><00:57:06.639><c> still</c><00:57:06.840><c> crippled</c><00:57:07.099><c> by</c>

00:57:14.460 --> 00:57:16.199
That's<00:57:14.900><c> when</c><00:57:15.039><c> you'll</c><00:57:15.280><c> be</c><00:57:15.440><c> healed.</c>

No,<00:57:17.059><c> the</c><00:57:17.239><c> miracle</c><00:57:17.579><c> happened</c><00:57:18.179><c> instantaneously.</c>

00:57:20.099 --> 00:57:23.679

00:57:23.800 --> 00:57:27.880
Both<00:57:24.260><c> miracles,</c><00:57:24.840><c> the</c><00:57:24.940><c> miracle</c><00:57:25.360><c> of</c><00:57:25.699><c> forgiveness</c><00:57:26.159><c> and</c><00:57:27.079><c> the</c><00:57:27.179><c> miracle</c><00:57:27.480><c> of</c>

00:57:27.880 --> 00:57:30.539
healing<00:57:28.300><c> really</c><00:57:28.980><c> lose</c><00:57:29.199><c> some</c><00:57:29.400><c> of</c><00:57:29.480><c> their</c><00:57:29.579><c> power,</c><00:57:29.900><c> I</c><00:57:30.079><c> think,</c><00:57:30.400><c> if</c>

00:57:30.539 --> 00:57:32.900
they<00:57:30.699><c> do</c><00:57:30.880><c> not</c><00:57:31.099><c> happen</c><00:57:31.340><c> instantaneously.</c>

00:57:32.940 --> 00:57:35.179
And<00:57:33.099><c> Christ</c><00:57:33.320><c> would</c><00:57:33.539><c> lose</c><00:57:33.739><c> some</c><00:57:33.980><c> of</c><00:57:34.119><c> his</c><00:57:34.380><c> credibility</c><00:57:34.900><c> if</c><00:57:35.059><c> he</c>

00:57:35.179 --> 00:57:38.000
was<00:57:35.280><c> trying</c><00:57:35.460><c> to</c><00:57:35.639><c> do</c><00:57:36.199><c> miracles</c><00:57:36.699><c> on</c><00:57:36.940><c> that</c><00:57:37.079><c> basis.</c>

00:57:39.079 --> 00:57:41.239
So<00:57:39.300><c> are</c><00:57:39.579><c> our</c><00:57:39.760><c> sins</c><00:57:39.920><c> forgiven</c><00:57:40.199><c> now</c><00:57:40.460><c> or</c><00:57:40.579><c> at</c><00:57:40.699><c> the</c><00:57:40.860><c> judgment</c><00:57:41.039><c> seat?</c>

00:57:41.300 --> 00:57:44.760
I<00:57:41.420><c> believe</c><00:57:41.900><c> they</c><00:57:42.320><c> are</c><00:57:42.440><c> forgiven</c><00:57:42.780><c> now</c><00:57:43.639><c> when</c><00:57:43.820><c> we</c><00:57:44.420><c> go</c><00:57:44.619><c> through</c>

00:57:44.760 --> 00:57:46.760
that<00:57:44.940><c> process</c><00:57:45.320><c> that</c><00:57:45.460><c> we've</c><00:57:45.659><c> talked</c><00:57:45.900><c> about.</c>

00:57:48.099 --> 00:57:50.599
So<00:57:48.280><c> physical</c><00:57:48.599><c> healing</c><00:57:48.900><c> is</c><00:57:49.539><c> symbolic</c><00:57:49.920><c> of</c><00:57:50.179><c> forgiveness.</c>

00:57:50.599 --> 00:57:52.559
The<00:57:51.320><c> physical</c><00:57:51.679><c> healing</c><00:57:51.960><c> was</c><00:57:52.159><c> immediate.</c>

00:57:52.719 --> 00:57:57.559
So<00:57:52.980><c> it</c><00:57:53.179><c> follows</c><00:57:53.619><c> to</c><00:57:54.420><c> me</c><00:57:54.639><c> that</c><00:57:54.880><c> the</c><00:57:55.159><c> forgiveness</c><00:57:55.420><c> was</c><00:57:55.760><c> also</c><00:57:56.340><c> immediate.</c>

00:58:00.840 --> 00:58:03.360
Now,<00:58:01.059><c> still</c><00:58:01.179><c> on</c><00:58:01.380><c> this</c><00:58:01.719><c> subject</c><00:58:02.239><c> of</c><00:58:02.400><c> the</c><00:58:02.559><c> judgment</c><00:58:02.760><c> seat,</c><00:58:02.940><c> which</c><00:58:03.119><c> was,</c>

00:58:06.019 --> 00:58:08.579

00:58:08.579 --> 00:58:11.840

00:58:14.179 --> 00:58:18.099
Now,<00:58:14.679><c> we're</c><00:58:14.780><c> not</c><00:58:14.960><c> given</c><00:58:15.659><c> huge</c><00:58:16.460><c> details</c><00:58:17.239><c> in</c><00:58:17.539><c> the</c><00:58:17.659><c> Bible</c><00:58:17.860><c> about</c>

00:58:27.800 --> 00:58:29.679

00:58:58.099 --> 00:59:00.860
