So<00:08:22.459><c> this</c><00:08:22.620><c> was</c><00:08:22.899><c> common</c><00:08:23.220><c> thought</c><00:08:23.600><c> amongst</c><00:08:23.920><c> the</c><00:08:24.240><c> five</c><00:08:24.420><c> or</c><00:08:24.660><c> six</c>

00:08:24.959 --> 00:08:26.379
thousand<00:08:25.399><c> Pharisees</c>

00:08:27.079 --> 00:08:30.079

00:08:32.279 --> 00:08:38.720
They<00:08:32.840><c> thought</c><00:08:33.399><c> that</c><00:08:34.700><c> you</c><00:08:34.980><c> could</c><00:08:35.200><c> have</c><00:08:35.379><c> these</c><00:08:35.840><c> private</c><00:08:36.340><c> thoughts</c><00:08:37.100><c> of</c><00:08:37.679><c> lust.</c>

00:08:39.720 --> 00:08:44.039
You<00:08:40.279><c> could</c><00:08:40.840><c> cast</c><00:08:41.460><c> your</c><00:08:41.740><c> eyes</c><00:08:41.960><c> upon</c><00:08:42.440><c> another</c><00:08:43.019><c> woman.</c>

00:08:45.019 --> 00:08:46.600
And<00:08:45.120><c> that</c><00:08:45.220><c> wasn't</c><00:08:45.539><c> a</c><00:08:45.720><c> problem.</c>

00:08:47.440 --> 00:08:49.879
It<00:08:47.519><c> was</c><00:08:47.759><c> the</c><00:08:47.919><c> deed</c><00:08:48.279><c> that</c><00:08:48.620><c> was</c><00:08:48.820><c> the</c><00:08:48.980><c> problem.</c>

00:08:50.360 --> 00:08:52.340
So<00:08:50.500><c> that</c><00:08:50.759><c> was</c><00:08:51.279><c> Pharisaical</c><00:08:51.940><c> thought.</c>

00:08:52.779 --> 00:08:55.799

00:08:55.799 --> 00:09:00.620
Except<00:08:56.740><c> your</c><00:08:57.840><c> righteousness,</c><00:08:58.620><c> exceed</c><00:08:59.559><c> the</c><00:09:00.139><c> righteousness</c>

00:09:02.179 --> 00:09:05.940
you<00:09:02.179><c> will</c><00:09:02.460><c> in</c><00:09:02.519><c> no</c><00:09:03.000><c> case</c><00:09:03.480><c> enter</c><00:09:04.259><c> into</c><00:09:04.539><c> the</c><00:09:04.620><c> kingdom</c><00:09:04.919><c> of</c><00:09:05.139><c> heaven.</c>

00:09:06.259 --> 00:09:08.580
Because<00:09:06.379><c> the</c><00:09:06.600><c> truth</c><00:09:06.799><c> is</c><00:09:07.039><c> about</c><00:09:07.320><c> dealing</c><00:09:07.679><c> with</c><00:09:07.879><c> what</c><00:09:08.100><c> is</c><00:09:08.360><c> going</c>

00:09:11.460 --> 00:09:15.700
That's<00:09:11.720><c> where</c><00:09:11.899><c> it</c><00:09:12.080><c> begins.</c><00:09:12.460><c> That's</c><00:09:12.700><c> where</c><00:09:12.899><c> the</c><00:09:13.139><c> battle</c><00:09:13.419><c> is</c><00:09:13.720><c> either</c><00:09:14.059><c> won</c><00:09:14.399><c> or</c><00:09:14.700><c> lost.</c>

00:09:16.759 --> 00:09:19.740
And<00:09:16.840><c> we're</c><00:09:17.000><c> going</c><00:09:17.059><c> to</c><00:09:17.120><c> dig</c><00:09:17.360><c> down</c><00:09:17.559><c> into</c><00:09:17.779><c> that</c><00:09:18.379><c> here</c><00:09:18.639><c> this</c><00:09:18.919><c> morning.</c>

00:09:20.340 --> 00:09:21.960
So<00:09:20.480><c> that</c><00:09:20.600><c> was</c><00:09:20.799><c> the</c><00:09:20.919><c> view</c><00:09:21.059><c> of</c><00:09:21.240><c> the</c><00:09:21.440><c> Pharisee.</c>

00:09:21.960 --> 00:09:25.940
By<00:09:22.279><c> contrast,</c><00:09:22.980><c> of</c><00:09:22.980><c> course,</c><00:09:23.580><c> Christ</c><00:09:23.740><c> came</c><00:09:24.100><c> to</c><00:09:24.440><c> fulfill</c><00:09:25.320><c> the</c><00:09:25.580><c> law.</c>

00:09:26.399 --> 00:09:29.860
And<00:09:26.500><c> he</c><00:09:26.580><c> was</c><00:09:26.799><c> going</c><00:09:26.940><c> to</c><00:09:27.159><c> amplify</c><00:09:27.779><c> and</c><00:09:28.559><c> fill</c><00:09:28.779><c> out</c><00:09:29.220><c> what</c><00:09:29.519><c> the</c><00:09:29.740><c> law</c>

00:09:29.860 --> 00:09:31.080

00:09:31.120 --> 00:09:35.000
Thou<00:09:31.240><c> should</c><00:09:31.500><c> not</c><00:09:32.120><c> covet</c><00:09:33.019><c> thy</c><00:09:33.580><c> neighbor's</c><00:09:34.080><c> wife.</c>

00:09:37.139 --> 00:09:40.379

00:09:47.600 --> 00:09:49.840
What<00:09:47.799><c> one</c><00:09:47.899><c> do</c><00:09:48.000><c> you</c><00:09:48.100><c> think</c><00:09:48.220><c> it</c><00:09:48.419><c> might</c><00:09:48.600><c> be?</c>

00:09:50.799 --> 00:09:54.779
Well,<00:09:51.320><c> I</c><00:09:51.500><c> think</c><00:09:51.679><c> it's</c><00:09:51.840><c> this</c><00:09:52.080><c> one,</c><00:09:52.620><c> Matthew</c><00:09:52.940><c> five,</c><00:09:53.419><c> verse</c><00:09:53.580><c> eight.</c>

00:09:55.080 --> 00:09:59.980
Blessed<00:09:55.139><c> are</c><00:09:55.399><c> the</c><00:09:55.639><c> pure</c><00:09:55.840><c> in</c><00:09:56.220><c> heart,</c><00:09:57.019><c> for</c><00:09:57.100><c> they</c><00:09:57.700><c> shall</c><00:09:58.200><c> see</c><00:09:58.940><c> God.</c>

00:10:00.519 --> 00:10:03.299

and<00:13:25.500><c> all</c><00:13:25.700><c> the</c><00:13:25.840><c> people</c><00:13:26.019><c> came</c><00:13:26.279><c> unto</c><00:13:26.480><c> him</c><00:13:26.679><c> and</c><00:13:26.879><c> sat</c><00:13:27.080><c> down.</c>

00:13:27.259 --> 00:13:30.879
He<00:13:27.580><c> sat</c><00:13:27.799><c> down</c><00:13:28.039><c> and</c><00:13:28.220><c> taught</c><00:13:28.379><c> them,</c><00:13:28.840><c> and</c><00:13:28.919><c> the</c><00:13:29.159><c> scribes</c><00:13:29.580><c> and</c><00:13:29.740><c> Pharisees</c><00:13:30.240><c> brought</c><00:13:30.480><c> unto</c><00:13:30.720><c> him</c>

00:13:30.879 --> 00:13:32.700
a<00:13:31.039><c> woman</c><00:13:31.279><c> taken</c><00:13:31.620><c> in</c><00:13:31.899><c> adultery.</c>

00:13:32.960 --> 00:13:34.879
When<00:13:33.080><c> they</c><00:13:33.240><c> had</c><00:13:33.460><c> set</c><00:13:33.539><c> her</c><00:13:33.720><c> in</c><00:13:33.840><c> the</c><00:13:33.940><c> midst,</c><00:13:34.299><c> they</c><00:13:34.299><c> said</c><00:13:34.460><c> unto</c><00:13:34.659><c> him,</c>

00:13:34.879 --> 00:13:37.899
Master,<00:13:35.360><c> this</c><00:13:35.559><c> woman</c><00:13:35.759><c> was</c><00:13:35.960><c> taken</c><00:13:36.220><c> adultery</c><00:13:36.600><c> in</c><00:13:36.820><c> the</c><00:13:37.100><c> very</c><00:13:37.580><c> act.</c>

00:13:37.980 --> 00:13:41.179
Yes,<00:13:38.639><c> when</c><00:13:38.799><c> one</c><00:13:38.960><c> of</c><00:13:39.039><c> those</c><00:13:39.340><c> Pharisees</c><00:13:39.779><c> got</c><00:13:40.000><c> home</c><00:13:40.259><c> the</c><00:13:40.440><c> previous</c><00:13:40.860><c> night,</c>

00:13:41.220 --> 00:13:45.360
he<00:13:41.299><c> found</c><00:13:41.539><c> another</c><00:13:41.960><c> Pharisee</c><00:13:43.899><c> with</c><00:13:44.100><c> his</c><00:13:44.320><c> wife.</c>

00:13:46.259 --> 00:13:49.500
And<00:13:46.399><c> this</c><00:13:47.080><c> Pharisee</c><00:13:47.620><c> was</c><00:13:47.799><c> doubtless</c><00:13:48.159><c> looking</c><00:13:48.419><c> for</c><00:13:48.580><c> an</c><00:13:48.700><c> opportunity</c><00:13:49.139><c> to</c><00:13:49.320><c> get</c>

00:13:49.500 --> 00:13:50.100
rid<00:13:49.659><c> of</c><00:13:49.779><c> this</c><00:13:49.940><c> woman</c>

00:13:50.100 --> 00:13:52.320
so<00:13:50.279><c> he</c><00:13:50.379><c> could</c><00:13:50.480><c> marry</c><00:13:50.840><c> someone</c><00:13:51.259><c> else.</c>

00:13:52.899 --> 00:13:54.759
And<00:13:53.159><c> they</c><00:13:53.379><c> brought</c><00:13:53.519><c> her</c><00:13:53.779><c> along.</c>

00:13:55.100 --> 00:13:57.179
Very<00:13:55.659><c> convenient.</c><00:13:56.360><c> Where's</c><00:13:56.639><c> the</c><00:13:56.840><c> man?</c>

00:13:57.580 --> 00:14:00.220
The<00:13:57.720><c> law</c><00:13:57.879><c> said</c><00:13:58.200><c> both</c><00:13:58.559><c> of</c><00:13:58.759><c> them</c><00:13:58.860><c> will</c><00:13:59.120><c> die.</c>

00:14:00.980 --> 00:14:02.580
Where's<00:14:01.240><c> the</c><00:14:01.419><c> man?</c>

00:14:03.259 --> 00:14:04.320
Hypocritical.

00:14:05.500 --> 00:14:07.000
But<00:14:05.639><c> Jesus</c><00:14:06.059><c> upheld</c><00:14:06.480><c> the</c><00:14:06.700><c> law.</c>

00:14:07.419 --> 00:14:08.419
He<00:14:07.580><c> came</c><00:14:07.799><c> to</c><00:14:07.960><c> fulfil</c><00:14:08.259><c> it.</c>

00:14:08.480 --> 00:14:12.779
Not<00:14:08.919><c> one</c><00:14:09.539><c> jot</c><00:14:09.840><c> or</c><00:14:10.320><c> tittle</c><00:14:10.639><c> will</c><00:14:11.159><c> fail,</c><00:14:11.679><c> he</c><00:14:11.960><c> said.</c>

00:14:12.799 --> 00:14:16.179
So<00:14:12.960><c> he</c><00:14:13.059><c> said,</c><00:14:13.379><c> well,</c><00:14:14.019><c> Moses</c><00:14:14.320><c> commanded</c><00:14:14.740><c> that</c><00:14:14.960><c> we</c><00:14:15.100><c> should</c><00:14:15.379><c> stone</c><00:14:15.659><c> her.</c>

00:14:16.639 --> 00:14:18.240
Mind<00:14:16.820><c> you,</c><00:14:16.980><c> I'm</c><00:14:17.139><c> leaving</c><00:14:17.360><c> out</c><00:14:17.559><c> the</c><00:14:17.740><c> fact</c><00:14:17.840><c> that</c><00:14:17.980><c> there</c><00:14:18.120><c> should</c>

00:14:18.240 --> 00:14:19.700
be<00:14:18.440><c> a</c><00:14:18.620><c> second</c><00:14:18.799><c> person</c><00:14:19.200><c> here,</c>

00:14:20.019 --> 00:14:22.240
but<00:14:20.240><c> the</c><00:14:20.460><c> law</c><00:14:20.620><c> says</c><00:14:20.899><c> we</c><00:14:21.100><c> should</c><00:14:21.379><c> stone</c><00:14:21.720><c> her.</c>

00:14:22.240 --> 00:14:23.840
Okay.

00:14:25.019 --> 00:14:29.580
He<00:14:25.360><c> that</c><00:14:25.519><c> is</c><00:14:25.679><c> without</c><00:14:26.019><c> sin,</c><00:14:28.360><c> let</c><00:14:28.440><c> him</c><00:14:28.620><c> cast</c><00:14:28.860><c> the</c><00:14:29.080><c> first</c><00:14:29.279><c> stone.</c>

00:14:29.980 --> 00:14:32.360
We<00:14:30.080><c> need</c><00:14:30.360><c> two</c><00:14:30.820><c> or</c><00:14:31.120><c> three</c><00:14:31.399><c> witnesses.</c>

00:14:33.220 --> 00:14:34.720
And<00:14:33.399><c> we</c><00:14:33.480><c> know</c><00:14:33.600><c> what</c><00:14:33.820><c> happened.</c>

00:14:35.860 --> 00:14:38.139
He<00:14:36.080><c> caused</c><00:14:36.500><c> them</c><00:14:36.879><c> to</c><00:14:37.120><c> look</c><00:14:37.419><c> into</c><00:14:37.700><c> themselves.</c>

00:14:38.220 --> 00:14:40.980
I<00:14:38.399><c> believe</c><00:14:38.620><c> he</c><00:14:38.840><c> actually</c><00:14:39.460><c> stooped</c><00:14:39.700><c> down</c><00:14:39.940><c> and</c><00:14:40.200><c> wrote</c><00:14:40.379><c> their</c><00:14:40.679><c> names</c>

00:14:40.980 --> 00:14:42.700
from<00:14:41.240><c> the</c><00:14:41.480><c> oldest</c><00:14:41.919><c> to</c><00:14:42.299><c> the</c><00:14:42.480><c> youngest.</c>

00:14:42.759 --> 00:14:45.360
That's<00:14:42.919><c> what</c><00:14:43.139><c> Jeremiah</c><00:14:43.539><c> 17</c><00:14:44.139><c> implies.</c>

00:14:47.279 --> 00:14:49.039
Wrote<00:14:47.500><c> their</c><00:14:47.820><c> names.</c>

00:14:49.440 --> 00:14:50.000
Adulterers.

00:14:50.000 --> 00:14:51.039
Here<00:14:50.179><c> they</c><00:14:50.360><c> are.</c>

00:14:51.220 --> 00:14:51.940
So<00:14:51.320><c>-and</c><00:14:51.580><c>-so.</c>

00:14:52.259 --> 00:14:52.860
Pharisee.

00:14:52.860 --> 00:14:53.779
So<00:14:53.059><c>-and</c><00:14:53.299><c>-so.</c>

00:14:53.899 --> 00:14:56.100
Writing<00:14:54.120><c> their</c><00:14:54.440><c> names</c><00:14:54.740><c> in</c><00:14:54.960><c> the</c><00:14:55.139><c> earth.</c>

00:14:57.159 --> 00:14:59.539
They<00:14:57.299><c> that</c><00:14:57.419><c> forsake</c><00:14:57.879><c> Yahweh,</c><00:14:58.600><c> says</c><00:14:58.720><c> Jeremiah</c><00:14:59.200><c> 17,</c>

00:14:59.700 --> 00:15:02.220
shall<00:14:59.799><c> be</c><00:15:00.120><c> written</c><00:15:00.419><c> in</c><00:15:00.919><c> the</c><00:15:01.139><c> earth.</c>

00:15:03.360 --> 00:15:07.299
Anyway,<00:15:03.799><c> whatever</c><00:15:04.100><c> the</c><00:15:04.360><c> case,</c><00:15:05.759><c> they</c><00:15:05.940><c> were</c><00:15:06.120><c> convicted</c><00:15:06.539><c> by</c><00:15:06.919><c> conscience,</c>

00:15:07.399 --> 00:15:08.440
not<00:15:07.620><c> their</c><00:15:07.940><c> conscience.</c>

00:15:08.779 --> 00:15:09.820
That<00:15:08.960><c> word's</c><00:15:09.259><c> not</c><00:15:09.500><c> there.</c>

00:15:09.980 --> 00:15:10.740
By<00:15:10.360><c> conscience.</c>

00:15:11.000 --> 00:15:14.759
Because<00:15:11.179><c> people</c><00:15:11.460><c> knew,</c><00:15:12.659><c> everybody</c><00:15:13.080><c> in</c><00:15:13.240><c> that</c><00:15:13.500><c> crowd</c><00:15:13.860><c> knew</c>

00:15:14.759 --> 00:15:18.019
what<00:15:15.399><c> these</c><00:15:15.820><c> fellows</c><00:15:16.120><c> were</c><00:15:16.360><c> up</c><00:15:16.600><c> to,</c><00:15:17.120><c> privately.</c>

00:15:18.659 --> 00:15:21.840
And<00:15:19.200><c> they</c><00:15:19.419><c> walked</c><00:15:19.779><c> out</c><00:15:20.340><c> in</c><00:15:20.679><c> disgrace.</c>

00:15:22.559 --> 00:15:24.100
And<00:15:22.639><c> there</c><00:15:22.700><c> was</c><00:15:22.879><c> only</c><00:15:23.200><c> one</c><00:15:23.419><c> witness</c><00:15:23.799><c> left</c>

00:15:24.100 --> 00:15:26.240
who<00:15:24.379><c> knew</c><00:15:24.740><c> that</c><00:15:24.899><c> this</c><00:15:25.059><c> woman</c><00:15:25.240><c> had</c><00:15:25.419><c> committed</c><00:15:25.620><c> adultery.</c>

00:15:26.500 --> 00:15:29.080
But<00:15:26.639><c> the</c><00:15:26.840><c> law</c><00:15:27.080><c> required</c><00:15:27.700><c> two.</c>

00:15:30.120 --> 00:15:32.240
So<00:15:30.539><c> he</c><00:15:30.720><c> upheld</c><00:15:31.019><c> the</c><00:15:31.220><c> law.</c>

00:15:32.600 --> 00:15:33.580
Let's<00:15:33.000><c> stone</c><00:15:33.200><c> her.</c>

00:15:33.720 --> 00:15:35.279
But<00:15:33.879><c> we</c><00:15:33.960><c> need</c><00:15:34.139><c> two</c><00:15:34.379><c> witnesses.</c>

00:15:36.480 --> 00:15:37.879
He<00:15:36.700><c> was</c><00:15:36.919><c> one.</c>

00:15:38.179 --> 00:15:39.059
He<00:15:38.360><c> needed</c><00:15:38.500><c> a</c><00:15:38.779><c> second.</c>

00:15:39.480 --> 00:15:41.139
And<00:15:39.620><c> there</c><00:15:39.779><c> was</c><00:15:40.039><c> no</c><00:15:40.299><c> second.</c>

00:15:42.500 --> 00:15:44.720
So<00:15:42.860><c> he</c><00:15:42.980><c> sent</c><00:15:43.200><c> her</c><00:15:43.419><c> away,</c><00:15:43.779><c> forgiven.</c>

00:15:46.159 --> 00:15:51.720
See,<00:15:47.220><c> this</c><00:15:47.500><c> law,</c><00:15:48.039><c> brothers</c><00:15:48.299><c> and</c><00:15:48.360><c> sisters,</c><00:15:51.019><c> of</c><00:15:51.080><c> adultery</c>

00:15:51.720 --> 00:15:55.639
was<00:15:52.820><c> something</c><00:15:53.179><c> that</c><00:15:53.279><c> was</c><00:15:53.679><c> very,</c><00:15:54.179><c> very</c><00:15:54.779><c> current.</c>

00:15:56.120 --> 00:15:58.519
In<00:15:56.220><c> Luke</c><00:15:56.399><c> 16,</c><00:15:56.820><c> we'll</c><00:15:56.940><c> come</c><00:15:57.179><c> back</c><00:15:57.320><c> to</c><00:15:57.360><c> this</c><00:15:57.500><c> one</c><00:15:57.620><c> a</c><00:15:57.700><c> bit</c><00:15:57.779><c> later</c><00:15:58.059><c> on,</c>

adultery<00:15:59.440><c> was</c><00:15:59.720><c> the</c><00:15:59.840><c> motivation</c><00:16:00.440><c> of</c><00:16:00.759><c> the</c><00:16:00.840><c> covetous</c><00:16:01.220><c> Pharisees.</c>

00:16:13.220 --> 00:16:16.019
My<00:16:13.779><c> experience</c><00:16:14.340><c> is</c><00:16:14.539><c> that</c><00:16:14.720><c> indolence</c><00:16:15.100><c> is</c><00:16:15.279><c> often</c><00:16:15.580><c> the</c><00:16:15.740><c> source</c>

00:16:57.899 --> 00:17:00.580
In<00:16:57.980><c> 2</c><00:16:58.340><c> Peter</c><00:16:58.659><c> 2,</c><00:16:59.320><c> verse</c><00:16:59.559><c> 14,</c>

00:17:00.960 --> 00:17:04.259
Peter<00:17:01.159><c> talks</c><00:17:01.480><c> about</c><00:17:01.799><c> those</c><00:17:02.320><c> whose</c><00:17:02.620><c> eyes</c><00:17:03.159><c> are</c><00:17:03.580><c> full</c>

00:17:04.259 --> 00:17:09.420
of<00:17:04.740><c> an</c><00:17:05.000><c> adulteress</c><00:17:06.160><c> that</c><00:17:07.680><c> cannot</c><00:17:08.380><c> be</c><00:17:08.900><c> cured.</c>

00:17:09.420 --> 00:17:13.359
He<00:17:10.079><c> says,</c><00:17:11.420><c> so</c><00:17:11.539><c> if</c><00:17:11.660><c> you</c><00:17:11.779><c> get</c><00:17:11.880><c> into</c><00:17:12.079><c> this</c><00:17:12.460><c> pattern,</c>

00:17:14.579 --> 00:17:17.299
it<00:17:14.660><c> comes</c><00:17:14.920><c> to</c><00:17:15.160><c> a</c><00:17:15.359><c> point</c><00:17:15.599><c> when</c><00:17:15.720><c> it</c><00:17:15.920><c> becomes</c><00:17:16.200><c> so</c><00:17:16.700><c> entrenched</c>

00:17:17.299 --> 00:17:19.019
as<00:17:17.599><c> a</c><00:17:17.799><c> pattern</c><00:17:18.140><c> of</c><00:17:18.700><c> thought</c>

00:17:19.019 --> 00:17:21.859
that<00:17:19.799><c> it's</c><00:17:20.119><c> near</c><00:17:20.319><c> to</c><00:17:20.500><c> being</c><00:17:20.740><c> incurable.</c>

00:17:22.539 --> 00:17:24.279
So<00:17:22.680><c> it's</c><00:17:22.799><c> a</c><00:17:22.980><c> serious</c><00:17:23.240><c> issue,</c><00:17:23.660><c> isn't</c><00:17:23.779><c> it?</c>

00:17:24.640 --> 00:17:29.039
This<00:17:24.819><c> is</c><00:17:25.019><c> something</c><00:17:25.259><c> that</c><00:17:25.559><c> we</c><00:17:26.299><c> need</c><00:17:26.640><c> to</c><00:17:27.640><c> think</c><00:17:28.019><c> through.</c>

00:17:29.519 --> 00:17:32.319
But<00:17:29.660><c> what</c><00:17:29.880><c> is</c><00:17:30.279><c> thought</c><00:17:30.640><c> adultery,</c><00:17:31.500><c> really,</c>

00:17:55.200 --> 00:17:56.779

00:18:02.440 --> 00:18:04.420
When<00:18:03.240><c> Christ</c><00:18:03.680><c> comes,</c><00:18:04.079><c> brethren</c><00:18:04.220><c> and</c><00:18:04.359><c> sisters,</c>

The<00:18:26.400><c> press.</c>

00:18:27.200 --> 00:18:29.740
They<00:18:27.519><c> have</c><00:18:27.819><c> corrupted</c><00:18:28.279><c> this</c><00:18:28.680><c> world</c><00:18:28.859><c> in</c><00:18:29.119><c> a</c><00:18:29.279><c> way</c>

00:18:29.740 --> 00:18:32.380
that's<00:18:30.559><c> just</c><00:18:31.160><c> mind</c><00:18:31.500><c>-boggling.</c>

00:18:32.559 --> 00:18:34.180
Anyway,<00:18:33.180><c> here</c><00:18:33.259><c> they</c><00:18:33.480><c> are.</c>

00:18:34.640 --> 00:18:37.079
The<00:18:34.759><c> question</c><00:18:35.059><c> was</c><00:18:35.299><c> asked,</c><00:18:35.599><c> have</c><00:18:35.779><c> you</c><00:18:35.960><c> ever</c><00:18:36.200><c> committed</c><00:18:36.500><c> adultery?</c>

00:18:37.559 --> 00:18:40.000
You<00:18:38.059><c> wouldn't</c><00:18:38.400><c> ask</c><00:18:38.859><c> a</c><00:18:39.019><c> newly</c><00:18:39.220><c> elected</c><00:18:39.579><c> president</c>

00:18:40.000 --> 00:18:42.700

00:18:45.339 --> 00:18:47.019
And<00:18:45.480><c> Jimmy</c><00:18:45.700><c> Carter</c><00:18:46.000><c> responded</c><00:18:46.640><c> yes.</c>

00:18:47.099 --> 00:18:48.980
He<00:18:47.299><c> was</c><00:18:47.960><c> a</c><00:18:48.119><c> Christian.</c>

00:18:52.599 --> 00:18:56.079
And<00:18:52.779><c> he</c><00:18:52.940><c> believed</c><00:18:53.279><c> Matthew</c><00:18:53.640><c> 5</c><00:18:53.960><c> verse</c><00:18:54.200><c> 28</c><00:18:54.559><c> to</c><00:18:54.720><c> be</c><00:18:54.980><c> true.</c>

00:18:57.900 --> 00:19:00.059
And<00:18:58.339><c> he</c><00:18:58.460><c> thought</c><00:18:58.680><c> back</c><00:18:59.039><c> upon</c><00:18:59.359><c> his</c><00:18:59.640><c> experience.</c>

00:19:00.220 --> 00:19:02.099
There<00:19:00.339><c> have</c><00:19:00.579><c> been</c><00:19:00.779><c> times</c><00:19:01.059><c> when</c><00:19:01.220><c> I've</c><00:19:01.500><c> thought</c><00:19:01.599><c> about</c>

00:19:02.099 --> 00:19:03.680
I've<00:19:02.319><c> seen</c><00:19:02.339><c> another</c><00:19:02.599><c> woman,</c><00:19:02.960><c> a</c><00:19:03.000><c> very</c><00:19:03.200><c> pretty</c><00:19:03.420><c> woman,</c>

00:19:03.859 --> 00:19:06.180
and<00:19:03.859><c> I</c><00:19:03.940><c> thought,</c><00:19:04.519><c> oh,</c><00:19:04.799><c> she's</c><00:19:05.000><c> very</c><00:19:05.240><c> nice.</c>

00:19:07.140 --> 00:19:09.140
And<00:19:07.279><c> he</c><00:19:07.480><c> counted</c><00:19:07.720><c> that</c><00:19:07.900><c> as</c><00:19:08.119><c> adultery.</c>

00:19:10.440 --> 00:19:11.960
So<00:19:10.599><c> he</c><00:19:10.700><c> said</c><00:19:10.880><c> yes.</c>

00:19:12.500 --> 00:19:14.099
Well,<00:19:12.700><c> that's</c><00:19:12.940><c> like</c><00:19:13.059><c> putting</c><00:19:13.259><c> your</c><00:19:13.480><c> foot</c><00:19:13.559><c> in</c><00:19:13.680><c> your</c><00:19:13.859><c> mouth,</c>

00:19:14.160 --> 00:19:15.480
isn't<00:19:14.319><c> it?</c>

00:19:15.539 --> 00:19:18.700
Because<00:19:15.720><c> he</c><00:19:15.940><c> had</c><00:19:16.079><c> actually</c><00:19:16.539><c> been</c><00:19:16.859><c> faithful</c><00:19:17.259><c> to</c><00:19:17.440><c> his</c><00:19:17.660><c> wife.</c>

00:19:19.380 --> 00:19:20.559
He<00:19:19.640><c> really</c><00:19:19.920><c> believed</c><00:19:20.339><c> this.</c>

00:19:20.660 --> 00:19:22.019
Is<00:19:20.819><c> he</c><00:19:21.059><c> right?</c>

00:19:23.319 --> 00:19:25.119
I<00:19:23.660><c> don't</c><00:19:23.900><c> know,</c><00:19:24.420><c> but</c><00:19:24.559><c> is</c><00:19:24.819><c> he</c><00:19:25.000><c> right?</c>

00:19:25.119 --> 00:19:26.160
We've<00:19:25.259><c> got</c><00:19:25.460><c> to</c><00:19:25.640><c> explore</c><00:19:25.940><c> it.</c>

00:19:26.579 --> 00:19:30.019
What<00:19:26.859><c> actually</c><00:19:27.420><c> constitutes</c><00:19:28.279><c> what</c><00:19:28.839><c> Christ</c><00:19:29.200><c> is</c><00:19:29.480><c> talking</c><00:19:29.680><c> about</c>

00:19:30.019 --> 00:19:34.200
in<00:19:30.140><c> Matthew</c><00:19:30.500><c> 5</c><00:19:31.420><c> as</c><00:19:32.000><c> heart</c><00:19:32.839><c> adultery?</c>

00:19:35.039 --> 00:19:38.539
Well,<00:19:35.099><c> we</c><00:19:35.220><c> come</c><00:19:35.400><c> back</c><00:19:35.599><c> to</c><00:19:35.740><c> Matthew</c><00:19:36.019><c> 5</c><00:19:36.380><c> and</c><00:19:36.519><c> verse</c><00:19:36.740><c> 28.</c>

00:19:43.019 --> 00:19:44.900
And<00:19:43.099><c> this</c><00:19:43.259><c> is</c><00:19:43.380><c> what</c><00:19:43.500><c> we</c><00:19:43.779><c> read.</c>

00:19:48.819 --> 00:19:52.460
Whoso<00:19:49.019><c> will</c><00:19:49.180><c> looketh</c><00:19:49.420><c> on</c><00:19:49.539><c> a</c><00:19:49.700><c> woman</c><00:19:50.180><c> to</c><00:19:50.819><c> lust</c><00:19:51.180><c> after</c><00:19:51.599><c> her</c>

00:19:52.460 --> 00:19:56.519
hath<00:19:52.900><c> committed</c><00:19:53.240><c> adultery</c><00:19:53.759><c> with</c><00:19:53.960><c> her</c><00:19:54.279><c> already</c><00:19:54.759><c> in</c><00:19:55.039><c> his</c><00:19:55.400><c> heart.</c>

00:19:56.680 --> 00:20:00.480
Now,<00:19:57.160><c> the</c><00:19:57.180><c> crucial</c><00:19:57.640><c> term</c><00:19:58.019><c> here</c><00:19:58.359><c> is</c><00:19:58.599><c> the</c><00:19:58.700><c> word</c><00:19:59.180><c> lust.</c>

00:20:01.960 --> 00:20:06.480
It<00:20:02.059><c> is</c><00:20:02.259><c> the</c><00:20:02.420><c> Greek</c><00:20:02.599><c> word</c><00:20:03.819><c> epithumio.</c>

00:20:06.680 --> 00:20:09.119
Now,<00:20:07.500><c> it</c><00:20:07.660><c> has</c><00:20:07.920><c> this</c><00:20:08.200><c> prefix,</c><00:20:08.960><c> epi,</c>

00:20:09.119 --> 00:20:12.339
which<00:20:09.400><c> intensifies</c><00:20:10.319><c> the</c><00:20:10.599><c> meaning</c><00:20:10.859><c> of</c><00:20:11.039><c> a</c><00:20:11.220><c> Greek</c><00:20:11.380><c> word.</c>

00:20:12.740 --> 00:20:14.880
Thumio,<00:20:13.279><c> we</c><00:20:13.420><c> get</c><00:20:13.619><c> our</c><00:20:13.759><c> English</c><00:20:14.019><c> word</c><00:20:14.339><c> thermos.</c>

00:20:14.900 --> 00:20:16.799
Do<00:20:15.000><c> you</c><00:20:15.099><c> have</c><00:20:15.299><c> thermos</c><00:20:15.720><c> flasks</c><00:20:16.079><c> in</c><00:20:16.220><c> this</c><00:20:16.400><c> country</c>

00:20:16.799 --> 00:20:18.039
to<00:20:17.160><c> keep</c><00:20:17.339><c> things</c><00:20:17.640><c> warm?</c>

00:20:18.279 --> 00:20:19.200
It's<00:20:18.460><c> got</c><00:20:18.559><c> to</c><00:20:18.680><c> do</c><00:20:18.779><c> with</c><00:20:18.900><c> heat.</c>

00:20:19.200 --> 00:20:23.940
My<00:20:20.339><c> experience</c><00:20:21.000><c> is</c><00:20:21.480><c> that</c><00:20:21.579><c> when</c><00:20:22.140><c> this</c><00:20:22.519><c> kind</c><00:20:22.740><c> of</c><00:20:22.940><c> lust</c><00:20:23.119><c> is</c><00:20:23.319><c> at</c><00:20:23.539><c> work,</c>

00:20:24.319 --> 00:20:28.039
in<00:20:24.359><c> my</c><00:20:24.720><c> frame,</c><00:20:25.700><c> there's</c><00:20:25.880><c> a</c><00:20:26.000><c> certain</c><00:20:26.160><c> amount</c><00:20:26.380><c> of</c><00:20:26.539><c> heat</c><00:20:26.819><c> involved.</c>

00:20:31.460 --> 00:20:33.559
So<00:20:31.579><c> it's</c><00:20:31.720><c> a</c><00:20:31.779><c> very</c><00:20:32.079><c> appropriate</c><00:20:32.599><c> word.</c>

00:20:33.859 --> 00:20:38.180
But<00:20:34.000><c> it</c><00:20:34.140><c> only</c><00:20:34.359><c> occurs</c><00:20:34.680><c> 16</c><00:20:35.180><c> times</c><00:20:35.980><c> in</c><00:20:36.920><c> the</c><00:20:37.039><c> New</c><00:20:37.200><c> Testament.</c>

00:20:38.619 --> 00:20:41.940
And<00:20:38.759><c> it</c><00:20:38.960><c> means</c><00:20:39.279><c> it's</c><00:20:39.539><c> important</c><00:20:40.079><c> to</c><00:20:40.339><c> understand</c><00:20:40.839><c> this</c><00:20:41.140><c> word.</c>

00:20:42.440 --> 00:20:45.559
It<00:20:42.700><c> means</c><00:20:42.880><c> to</c><00:20:43.480><c> fix</c><00:20:44.099><c> the</c><00:20:45.319><c> desire.</c>

00:20:45.640 --> 00:20:47.660
That's<00:20:45.940><c> why</c><00:20:46.259><c> epi</c><00:20:46.579><c> is</c><00:20:46.799><c> there.</c>

00:20:48.000 --> 00:20:51.160
It's<00:20:48.559><c> a</c><00:20:48.680><c> fixation</c><00:20:49.779><c> of</c><00:20:50.019><c> desire.</c>

00:20:51.539 --> 00:20:56.180
To<00:20:51.680><c> have</c><00:20:51.880><c> the</c><00:20:52.220><c> affections</c><00:20:53.000><c> strongly</c><00:20:53.980><c> directed</c><00:20:54.759><c> towards</c><00:20:55.740><c> something.</c>

00:20:56.480 --> 00:20:59.099
And<00:20:56.500><c> when</c><00:20:56.619><c> you</c><00:20:56.700><c> look</c><00:20:56.880><c> up</c><00:20:57.079><c> the</c><00:20:57.259><c> uses</c><00:20:57.539><c> of</c><00:20:57.799><c> this</c><00:20:58.019><c> word</c><00:20:58.220><c> in</c><00:20:58.380><c> the</c><00:20:58.480><c> New</c><00:20:58.660><c> Testament,</c>

00:20:59.599 --> 00:21:00.500
for<00:20:59.619><c> instance,</c><00:20:59.900><c> there's</c><00:21:00.039><c> a</c><00:21:00.160><c> list</c><00:21:00.319><c> there.</c>

00:21:00.619 --> 00:21:02.599
Galatians<00:21:01.039><c> 5</c><00:21:01.400><c>.17</c><00:21:01.859><c> says</c><00:21:02.140><c> this.</c>

00:21:02.920 --> 00:21:04.559
The<00:21:03.019><c> flesh</c><00:21:03.599><c> lusteth.</c>

00:21:04.599 --> 00:21:08.180
That's<00:21:04.920><c> the</c><00:21:05.059><c> word</c><00:21:05.559><c> epithumio.</c>

00:21:08.900 --> 00:21:12.119
The<00:21:09.160><c> flesh</c><00:21:09.960><c> lusteth</c><00:21:11.119><c> against</c><00:21:11.519><c> the</c><00:21:11.880><c> spirit.</c>

00:21:12.400 --> 00:21:15.640
It<00:21:12.500><c> has</c><00:21:12.680><c> a</c><00:21:13.140><c> strong</c><00:21:13.680><c> desire</c><00:21:14.619><c> against</c><00:21:15.180><c> the</c><00:21:15.480><c> spirit.</c>

00:21:15.640 --> 00:21:19.740
And<00:21:15.880><c> then</c><00:21:15.960><c> it</c><00:21:16.059><c> says,</c><00:21:16.720><c> and</c><00:21:16.720><c> the</c><00:21:17.019><c> spirit</c><00:21:17.779><c> lusteth</c><00:21:18.740><c> against</c><00:21:19.160><c> the</c><00:21:19.440><c> flesh.</c>

00:21:20.119 --> 00:21:24.059
So<00:21:20.279><c> there's</c><00:21:21.839><c> this</c><00:21:22.000><c> near</c><00:21:22.779><c> the</c><00:21:23.059><c> twain</c><00:21:23.380><c> shall</c><00:21:23.599><c> meet.</c>

00:21:24.279 --> 00:21:25.740
Flesh,<00:21:24.980><c> spirit.</c>

00:21:26.140 --> 00:21:27.640
Flesh<00:21:26.480><c> is</c><00:21:26.680><c> against</c><00:21:27.099><c> the</c><00:21:27.380><c> spirit.</c>

00:21:27.859 --> 00:21:29.799
Spirit<00:21:28.140><c> against</c><00:21:28.720><c> the</c><00:21:28.980><c> flesh.</c>

00:21:30.380 --> 00:21:31.480
Strong.

00:21:31.960 --> 00:21:32.940
Worthy.

00:21:33.779 --> 00:21:35.940
That's<00:21:34.380><c> the</c><00:21:34.480><c> idea</c><00:21:34.779><c> of</c><00:21:34.920><c> that</c><00:21:35.140><c> word.</c>

00:21:36.680 --> 00:21:39.720
In<00:21:36.819><c> Luke</c><00:21:37.019><c> 15</c><00:21:37.599><c> and</c><00:21:37.799><c> verse</c><00:21:38.059><c> 16</c><00:21:38.500><c> we</c><00:21:38.640><c> have</c><00:21:38.799><c> the</c><00:21:39.039><c> prodigal</c><00:21:39.420><c> son</c>

00:21:39.720 --> 00:21:44.079
who<00:21:40.319><c> fain</c><00:21:41.059><c> would</c><00:21:41.619><c> have</c><00:21:41.819><c> eaten</c><00:21:42.099><c> the</c><00:21:42.559><c> crusts</c><00:21:43.140><c> and</c><00:21:43.259><c> the</c><00:21:43.480><c> husks</c>

00:21:44.079 --> 00:21:47.559

00:21:47.880 --> 00:21:48.200
Fain.

00:21:48.359 --> 00:21:50.079
It's<00:21:48.480><c> this</c><00:21:48.619><c> word</c><00:21:48.779><c> epithumio.</c>

00:21:50.119 --> 00:21:52.059
I<00:21:50.240><c> mean</c><00:21:50.319><c> you'd</c><00:21:50.519><c> have</c><00:21:50.680><c> to</c><00:21:50.779><c> have</c><00:21:50.920><c> a</c><00:21:51.079><c> strong</c><00:21:51.279><c> desire,</c><00:21:51.720><c> wouldn't</c><00:21:51.900><c> you,</c>

That's<00:23:18.500><c> the</c><00:23:18.839><c> problem</c><00:23:19.299><c> we</c><00:23:19.460><c> have</c><00:23:19.680><c> to</c><00:23:19.839><c> deal</c><00:23:20.039><c> with.</c>

00:23:42.339 --> 00:23:45.259
This<00:23:42.519><c> is</c><00:23:42.779><c> where</c><00:23:42.980><c> you</c><00:23:43.599><c> calculate</c><00:23:44.240><c> things.</c>

So<00:24:27.599><c> there</c><00:24:27.700><c> was</c><00:24:27.960><c> this</c><00:24:28.279><c> two</c><00:24:28.519><c>-way</c><00:24:28.720><c> street.</c>

00:24:29.700 --> 00:24:31.339
Propensity<00:24:30.180><c> saying,</c><00:24:30.680><c> I'm</c><00:24:30.900><c> hungry.</c>

00:24:31.559 --> 00:24:34.460
Mind<00:24:31.859><c> saying,</c><00:24:32.319><c> yes,</c><00:24:32.559><c> well,</c><00:24:32.779><c> we</c><00:24:32.920><c> can</c><00:24:33.119><c> fix</c><00:24:33.299><c> that</c><00:24:33.599><c> up.</c>

00:24:35.460 --> 00:24:38.640
Now,<00:24:35.720><c> it</c><00:24:35.900><c> may</c><00:24:36.140><c> be</c><00:24:36.339><c> that</c><00:24:36.480><c> it's</c><00:24:36.619><c> quite</c><00:24:36.880><c> lawful</c><00:24:37.339><c> to</c><00:24:37.579><c> go</c><00:24:37.700><c> to</c><00:24:37.799><c> McDonald's.</c>

00:24:38.660 --> 00:24:41.420
Or<00:24:38.819><c> it</c><00:24:38.940><c> may</c><00:24:39.200><c> be</c><00:24:39.619><c> you</c><00:24:40.039><c> see</c><00:24:40.259><c> someone</c><00:24:40.539><c> else's</c><00:24:40.980><c> food</c><00:24:41.119><c> on</c><00:24:41.259><c> their</c>

and<00:24:42.500><c> they've</c><00:24:42.740><c> gone</c><00:24:42.880><c> for</c><00:24:43.079><c> a</c><00:24:43.240><c> walk.</c>

00:24:43.819 --> 00:24:47.460
And<00:24:43.960><c> so</c><00:24:44.140><c> you</c><00:24:44.359><c> say,</c><00:24:44.859><c> oh,</c><00:24:45.259><c> there's</c><00:24:45.539><c> a</c><00:24:45.700><c> simple</c><00:24:45.900><c> answer</c><00:24:46.160><c> to</c><00:24:46.319><c> my</c><00:24:46.500><c> problem.</c>

00:24:48.200 --> 00:24:51.480
Now,<00:24:48.559><c> where</c><00:24:48.740><c> there's</c><00:24:48.980><c> no</c><00:24:49.220><c> conscience,</c><00:24:49.680><c> of</c><00:24:49.940><c> course,</c><00:24:51.140><c> there's</c>

00:24:54.059 --> 00:24:57.420

00:24:57.779 --> 00:25:00.960
And<00:24:57.779><c> so</c><00:24:57.980><c> the</c><00:24:58.220><c> desires</c><00:24:58.660><c> of</c><00:24:58.859><c> the</c><00:24:59.160><c> flesh</c><00:24:59.400><c> and</c><00:24:59.539><c> of</c><00:24:59.680><c> the</c><00:24:59.859><c> mind</c><00:25:00.279><c> work</c>

in<00:25:01.220><c> harmony,</c>

00:25:01.940 --> 00:25:03.140
two<00:25:02.099><c>-way</c><00:25:02.299><c> street.</c>

00:25:04.819 --> 00:25:06.819
That's<00:25:05.039><c> how</c><00:25:05.220><c> the</c><00:25:05.380><c> natural</c><00:25:05.640><c> man</c><00:25:05.859><c> works.</c>

00:25:07.640 --> 00:25:09.420
What<00:25:07.759><c> about</c><00:25:07.920><c> the</c><00:25:08.220><c> spiritual</c><00:25:08.500><c> man?</c>

00:25:10.220 --> 00:25:12.279
Well,<00:25:10.380><c> you</c><00:25:10.480><c> see,</c><00:25:10.559><c> this</c><00:25:10.700><c> is</c><00:25:10.859><c> what</c><00:25:11.000><c> God's</c><00:25:11.440><c> done.</c>

00:25:13.140 --> 00:25:15.779
The<00:25:13.279><c> difference</c><00:25:13.619><c> between</c><00:25:14.160><c> the</c><00:25:14.599><c> animal</c><00:25:14.900><c> mind</c><00:25:15.220><c> and</c><00:25:15.380><c> the</c><00:25:15.579><c> human</c>

00:25:15.779 --> 00:25:17.240
mind<00:25:16.180><c> is</c><00:25:16.460><c> that</c>

00:25:17.240 --> 00:25:18.920
both<00:25:17.559><c> have</c><00:25:17.839><c> intellect.</c>

00:25:20.160 --> 00:25:24.400
Both<00:25:20.519><c> have</c><00:25:20.779><c> propensities,</c><00:25:21.779><c> eat,</c><00:25:22.160><c> drink,</c><00:25:22.539><c> procreate</c><00:25:23.059><c> amongst</c><00:25:23.400><c> them.</c>

00:25:25.119 --> 00:25:30.140
But<00:25:25.420><c> God</c><00:25:25.700><c> has</c><00:25:26.059><c> given</c><00:25:26.519><c> a</c><00:25:27.079><c> moral</c><00:25:27.299><c> capacity</c><00:25:27.980><c> only</c><00:25:28.660><c> to</c><00:25:29.220><c> men.</c>

00:25:31.160 --> 00:25:35.380
And<00:25:31.859><c> he</c><00:25:32.160><c> expects</c><00:25:32.579><c> that</c><00:25:33.039><c> that</c><00:25:33.940><c> will</c><00:25:34.299><c> dominate</c><00:25:34.759><c> the</c><00:25:35.079><c> intellect.</c>

00:25:35.539 --> 00:25:37.619
That<00:25:35.759><c> doesn't</c><00:25:36.079><c> happen</c><00:25:36.519><c> in</c><00:25:36.799><c> animals.</c>

00:25:37.680 --> 00:25:39.619
But<00:25:37.859><c> when</c><00:25:38.059><c> Adam</c><00:25:38.279><c> sinned,</c><00:25:38.960><c> brethren</c><00:25:39.059><c> and</c><00:25:39.220><c> sisters,</c>

00:25:39.619 --> 00:25:45.519
you<00:25:40.279><c> and</c><00:25:40.440><c> I</c><00:25:40.779><c> were</c><00:25:41.079><c> doomed</c><00:25:41.579><c> to</c><00:25:42.460><c> spend</c><00:25:42.700><c> our</c><00:25:43.039><c> life</c><00:25:43.619><c> with</c><00:25:45.259><c> a</c>

serpent<00:25:45.980><c> nature,</c>

00:25:48.319 --> 00:25:53.819
with<00:25:48.440><c> a</c><00:25:48.720><c> bias,</c><00:25:49.920><c> an</c><00:25:50.119><c> inclination</c><00:25:50.759><c> constantly</c><00:25:51.420><c> towards</c><00:25:51.960><c> carnal</c><00:25:52.720><c> things.</c>

00:25:54.380 --> 00:25:58.119
And<00:25:54.579><c> carnality</c><00:25:55.180><c> leaves</c><00:25:55.700><c> God</c><00:25:56.319><c> out</c><00:25:56.839><c> of</c><00:25:56.960><c> the</c><00:25:57.099><c> picture.</c>

00:25:58.359 --> 00:26:01.460
Eve<00:25:58.640><c> initially</c><00:25:59.279><c> upheld</c><00:25:59.960><c> God's</c><00:26:00.420><c> law.</c>

00:26:02.140 --> 00:26:05.900
But<00:26:02.339><c> then</c><00:26:02.619><c> when</c><00:26:02.839><c> the</c><00:26:03.099><c> serpent</c><00:26:03.319><c> reasoned,</c><00:26:04.960><c> Paul</c><00:26:05.119><c> says</c><00:26:05.299><c> she</c><00:26:05.500><c> was</c>

00:26:05.900 --> 00:26:07.160
utterly<00:26:06.619><c> deceived.</c>

00:26:07.160 --> 00:26:10.160
God<00:26:07.740><c> was</c><00:26:08.299><c> moved</c><00:26:08.599><c> to</c><00:26:08.920><c> the</c><00:26:08.980><c> side.</c>

00:26:10.900 --> 00:26:14.160
And<00:26:10.980><c> she</c><00:26:11.180><c> thought</c><00:26:11.420><c> only</c><00:26:11.880><c> carnally</c><00:26:12.279><c> after</c><00:26:12.619><c> that</c><00:26:12.819><c> like</c><00:26:13.079><c> the</c><00:26:13.299><c> serpent.</c>

00:26:14.359 --> 00:26:16.240
One<00:26:14.519><c> and</c><00:26:14.680><c> one</c><00:26:14.819><c> equals</c><00:26:15.099><c> two.</c>

00:26:16.339 --> 00:26:17.799
That's<00:26:16.700><c> what</c><00:26:16.920><c> happened.</c>

00:26:18.319 --> 00:26:20.880
But<00:26:18.480><c> this</c><00:26:18.680><c> is</c><00:26:18.839><c> what</c><00:26:19.039><c> should</c><00:26:19.299><c> be</c><00:26:19.559><c> happening</c><00:26:19.779><c> in</c><00:26:20.000><c> you</c><00:26:20.160><c> and</c><00:26:20.319><c> me</c><00:26:20.480><c> now.</c>

00:26:21.240 --> 00:26:23.440
This<00:26:21.380><c> should</c><00:26:21.519><c> be</c><00:26:21.720><c> the</c><00:26:21.920><c> law</c><00:26:22.099><c> of</c><00:26:22.299><c> the</c><00:26:22.539><c> heart.</c>

00:26:24.460 --> 00:26:27.940
As<00:26:24.539><c> we</c><00:26:24.740><c> said,</c><00:26:25.019><c> Brother</c><00:26:25.220><c> Carter</c><00:26:25.579><c> very</c><00:26:26.200><c> clearly</c><00:26:26.799><c> defines</c><00:26:27.420><c> what</c>

the<00:26:28.279><c> heart</c><00:26:28.480><c> in</c><00:26:28.640><c> the</c><00:26:28.779><c> Scripture</c><00:26:29.039><c> is.</c>

00:26:29.819 --> 00:26:32.940
It<00:26:29.940><c> is</c><00:26:30.140><c> the</c><00:26:30.319><c> deeper</c><00:26:30.579><c> part</c><00:26:30.880><c> of</c><00:26:31.039><c> the</c><00:26:31.180><c> mind</c><00:26:31.380><c> where</c><00:26:31.680><c> character</c><00:26:32.099><c> is</c><00:26:32.579><c> formed.</c>

00:26:32.940 --> 00:26:36.000
And<00:26:33.740><c> of</c><00:26:33.920><c> course</c><00:26:34.059><c> what</c><00:26:34.279><c> we</c><00:26:34.559><c> have</c><00:26:34.720><c> or</c><00:26:34.920><c> what</c><00:26:35.079><c> we</c><00:26:35.279><c> should</c><00:26:35.460><c> have</c><00:26:35.700><c> is</c>

00:26:36.000 --> 00:26:38.420
a<00:26:36.299><c> morality</c><00:26:36.920><c> fully</c><00:26:38.000><c> developed</c>

00:26:38.420 --> 00:26:42.019

00:26:42.279 --> 00:26:50.000
And<00:26:42.359><c> this</c><00:26:42.660><c> morality</c><00:26:43.279><c> Paul</c><00:26:43.819><c> calls</c><00:26:44.359><c> in</c><00:26:44.640><c> Romans</c><00:26:45.039><c> 2</c><00:26:45.680><c> a</c><00:26:46.240><c> sunny</c><00:26:46.839><c> dasis,</c><00:26:48.839><c> a</c><00:26:49.000><c> conscience.</c>

00:26:50.819 --> 00:26:52.480
Now<00:26:50.940><c> we</c><00:26:51.000><c> haven't</c><00:26:51.140><c> got</c><00:26:51.319><c> time</c><00:26:51.579><c> to</c><00:26:51.740><c> go</c><00:26:51.839><c> to</c><00:26:52.019><c> Romans</c><00:26:52.220><c> 2.</c>

00:26:52.640 --> 00:26:54.339
I'd<00:26:52.799><c> love</c><00:26:52.940><c> to</c><00:26:53.140><c> do</c><00:26:53.339><c> that.</c>

00:26:54.740 --> 00:27:00.039
But<00:26:55.099><c> he</c><00:26:55.599><c> says</c><00:26:55.819><c> there</c><00:26:56.500><c> that</c><00:26:57.559><c> this</c><00:26:57.900><c> morality,</c><00:26:59.119><c> this</c><00:26:59.460><c> conscience</c>

00:27:01.000 --> 00:27:04.819
It's<00:27:01.519><c> a</c><00:27:01.720><c> knowing</c><00:27:01.940><c> with</c><00:27:02.240><c> oneself</c><00:27:02.740><c> or</c><00:27:03.059><c> one's</c><00:27:03.619><c> own</c><00:27:03.859><c> witness.</c>

00:27:04.960 --> 00:27:06.819
So<00:27:05.019><c> what</c><00:27:05.200><c> happens</c><00:27:05.519><c> is</c><00:27:05.759><c> this.</c>

00:27:07.500 --> 00:27:09.380
The<00:27:07.680><c> propensities</c><00:27:08.299><c> continue</c><00:27:08.819><c> to</c><00:27:09.039><c> work.</c>

00:27:09.740 --> 00:27:12.519
They<00:27:09.920><c> say</c><00:27:10.220><c> I'm</c><00:27:10.519><c> hungry</c><00:27:10.839><c> or</c><00:27:11.140><c> I</c><00:27:11.299><c> want</c><00:27:11.420><c> to</c><00:27:11.579><c> fulfil</c><00:27:11.799><c> this</c><00:27:12.119><c> desire</c>

or<00:27:12.740><c> that</c><00:27:13.019><c> desire.</c>

00:27:13.440 --> 00:27:16.140
So<00:27:13.559><c> they</c><00:27:13.819><c> send</c><00:27:14.079><c> up</c><00:27:14.380><c> as</c><00:27:14.559><c> it</c><00:27:14.779><c> were</c><00:27:14.960><c> messages</c><00:27:15.500><c> to</c><00:27:15.799><c> the</c><00:27:16.019><c> brain.</c>

00:27:16.200 --> 00:27:18.819
The<00:27:16.359><c> brain</c><00:27:16.539><c> says</c><00:27:16.759><c> well</c><00:27:17.019><c> yes</c><00:27:17.180><c> we</c><00:27:17.359><c> can</c><00:27:17.539><c> handle</c><00:27:17.839><c> that.</c>

00:27:19.660 --> 00:27:24.660
But<00:27:19.900><c> if</c><00:27:20.059><c> you've</c><00:27:20.259><c> got</c><00:27:20.359><c> a</c><00:27:20.539><c> conscience,</c><00:27:22.299><c> this</c><00:27:22.859><c> dominates</c><00:27:24.160><c> what</c>

that<00:27:25.140><c> decides</c><00:27:25.700><c> to</c><00:27:25.980><c> do.</c>

00:27:28.200 --> 00:27:37.380
And<00:27:29.279><c> Paul</c><00:27:29.579><c> says</c><00:27:29.859><c> in</c><00:27:30.039><c> Romans</c><00:27:30.359><c> 2</c><00:27:31.299><c> our</c><00:27:31.740><c> conscience</c><00:27:32.400><c> bearing</c><00:27:32.960><c> witness</c><00:27:33.619><c> either</c><00:27:34.960><c> excuses</c><00:27:35.819><c> or</c>

accuses<00:27:39.460><c> the</c><00:27:40.279><c> thoughts.</c>

00:27:42.299 --> 00:27:44.259
Excusing<00:27:42.700><c> means</c><00:27:43.259><c> it's</c><00:27:43.799><c> okay.</c>

00:27:44.680 --> 00:27:47.039
Hungry?<00:27:45.220><c> McDonald's?</c><00:27:46.039><c> Fine.</c>

00:27:47.619 --> 00:27:50.240
That's<00:27:47.920><c> okay.</c><00:27:49.160><c> Excused.</c>

00:27:50.640 --> 00:27:53.460
Pinching<00:27:50.960><c> off</c><00:27:51.119><c> someone's</c><00:27:52.180><c> picnic</c><00:27:52.380><c> table?</c>

00:27:53.700 --> 00:27:56.880
Wrong.<00:27:55.339><c> According</c><00:27:55.339><c> to</c><00:27:55.579><c> divine</c><00:27:55.839><c> law.</c>

00:27:57.599 --> 00:27:58.079
Accused.

00:27:58.500 --> 00:28:00.440
That's<00:27:58.680><c> how</c><00:27:58.880><c> the</c><00:27:59.079><c> conscience</c><00:27:59.359><c> works.</c>

00:28:00.500 --> 00:28:02.660
Now<00:28:00.619><c> this</c><00:28:00.740><c> is</c><00:28:00.920><c> pretty</c><00:28:01.119><c> simple,</c><00:28:01.539><c> isn't</c><00:28:01.640><c> it?</c>

00:28:02.779 --> 00:28:05.920
But<00:28:02.980><c> this</c><00:28:03.180><c> is</c><00:28:03.440><c> key</c><00:28:03.819><c> to</c><00:28:04.119><c> being</c><00:28:04.339><c> in</c><00:28:04.480><c> the</c><00:28:04.599><c> kingdom</c><00:28:04.799><c> of</c><00:28:05.019><c> God.</c>

00:28:06.460 --> 00:28:08.359
We<00:28:06.559><c> don't</c><00:28:06.640><c> have</c><00:28:06.660><c> this</c><00:28:06.859><c> kind</c><00:28:07.140><c> of</c><00:28:07.380><c> conscience,</c><00:28:07.799><c> we're</c><00:28:07.940><c> not</c><00:28:08.140><c> going</c><00:28:08.279><c> to</c>

00:28:08.359 --> 00:28:09.240
be<00:28:08.519><c> there.</c>

00:28:09.700 --> 00:28:13.200
Because<00:28:09.940><c> this</c><00:28:10.279><c> is</c><00:28:10.440><c> what</c><00:28:10.700><c> governs</c><00:28:11.599><c> what</c><00:28:11.920><c> we</c><00:28:12.140><c> do.</c>

00:28:13.640 --> 00:28:17.200
Thought<00:28:13.880><c> being</c><00:28:14.420><c> the</c><00:28:14.579><c> basis</c><00:28:15.039><c> of</c><00:28:16.259><c> action.</c>

00:28:17.980 --> 00:28:20.220
But<00:28:18.140><c> you</c><00:28:18.180><c> know</c><00:28:18.259><c> we've</c><00:28:18.420><c> got</c><00:28:18.559><c> problems</c><00:28:18.980><c> in</c><00:28:19.299><c> our</c><00:28:19.460><c> community</c><00:28:19.920><c> on</c>

00:28:22.339 --> 00:28:28.220
There<00:28:22.819><c> are</c><00:28:23.019><c> those</c><00:28:23.619><c> who</c><00:28:23.940><c> think</c><00:28:24.680><c> that</c><00:28:27.279><c> when</c><00:28:27.359><c> you</c><00:28:27.559><c> apply</c><00:28:27.859><c> this</c><00:28:28.059><c> to</c>

You've<00:30:21.460><c> got</c><00:30:21.480><c> to</c><00:30:21.839><c> process</c><00:30:22.400><c> it</c><00:30:22.599><c> up</c><00:30:22.759><c> here</c><00:30:23.259><c> before</c><00:30:23.759><c> you</c><00:30:23.819><c> can</c><00:30:24.059><c> actually</c><00:30:24.319><c> come</c>

00:30:24.480 --> 00:30:26.920
up<00:30:24.640><c> with</c><00:30:24.779><c> a</c><00:30:25.039><c> plan</c><00:30:25.460><c> to</c><00:30:25.779><c> implement.</c>

00:30:29.539 --> 00:30:34.339
So<00:30:29.680><c> the</c><00:30:29.839><c> truth</c><00:30:30.059><c> is,</c><00:30:30.960><c> and</c><00:30:31.059><c> I</c><00:30:31.480><c> apologize</c><00:30:32.160><c> to</c><00:30:32.519><c> anyone</c><00:30:32.839><c> that</c><00:30:33.819><c> this</c>

00:30:34.339 --> 00:30:36.700
hinges<00:30:35.200><c> in</c><00:30:35.460><c> any</c><00:30:35.720><c> way,</c>

00:30:37.000 --> 00:30:42.339
the<00:30:37.180><c> truth</c><00:30:37.420><c> is</c><00:30:38.839><c> that</c><00:30:39.400><c> the</c><00:30:39.660><c> temptation</c><00:30:40.240><c> of</c><00:30:40.519><c> Christ</c><00:30:40.960><c> was</c><00:30:41.740><c> first</c>

00:30:42.339 --> 00:30:46.119
external<00:30:43.140><c> and</c><00:30:44.900><c> then</c><00:30:45.160><c> internal.</c>

00:30:46.720 --> 00:30:49.019
He<00:30:47.279><c> had</c><00:30:47.500><c> to</c><00:30:47.759><c> process</c><00:30:48.140><c> it.</c>

00:30:49.380 --> 00:30:53.839
The<00:30:50.019><c> suggestion</c><00:30:50.539><c> came</c><00:30:50.859><c> in</c><00:30:51.099><c> to</c><00:30:51.180><c> the</c><00:30:51.400><c> brain</c><00:30:51.619><c> box,</c><00:30:52.619><c> to</c><00:30:52.700><c> the</c><00:30:52.940><c> intellect.</c>

00:30:54.299 --> 00:30:55.519
What<00:30:54.460><c> did</c><00:30:54.619><c> he</c><00:30:54.740><c> do</c><00:30:54.980><c> with</c><00:30:55.180><c> it?</c>

00:30:55.799 --> 00:31:00.339
Well<00:30:55.960><c> there</c><00:30:56.039><c> was</c><00:30:56.440><c> no</c><00:30:56.759><c> one</c><00:30:57.059><c> who</c><00:30:57.420><c> had</c><00:30:58.180><c> a</c><00:30:58.559><c> developed</c><00:30:59.440><c> morality</c>

00:31:00.339 --> 00:31:02.740
like<00:31:01.140><c> him.</c>

00:31:03.220 --> 00:31:05.039
Thus<00:31:03.680><c> it</c><00:31:03.960><c> is</c><00:31:04.220><c> written.</c>

00:31:07.500 --> 00:31:09.759
And<00:31:07.700><c> that</c><00:31:07.920><c> suggestion</c><00:31:08.460><c> was</c><00:31:08.839><c> rejected.</c>

00:31:10.660 --> 00:31:12.380
But<00:31:10.779><c> it</c><00:31:10.880><c> had</c><00:31:10.940><c> to</c><00:31:11.099><c> be</c><00:31:11.319><c> processed.</c>

00:31:14.180 --> 00:31:17.359
Had<00:31:14.319><c> to</c><00:31:14.480><c> be</c><00:31:14.660><c> there</c><00:31:15.299><c> to</c><00:31:16.160><c> be</c><00:31:16.400><c> rejected.</c>

00:31:18.039 --> 00:31:22.900
That,<00:31:18.599><c> brothers</c><00:31:18.880><c> and</c><00:31:18.880><c> sisters,</c><00:31:20.619><c> is</c><00:31:20.720><c> how</c><00:31:20.900><c> our</c><00:31:21.119><c> Lord</c><00:31:21.480><c> overcame.</c>

00:31:23.000 --> 00:31:24.519
By<00:31:23.299><c> conscience.</c>

00:31:25.119 --> 00:31:27.180
That's<00:31:25.339><c> how</c><00:31:25.480><c> you</c><00:31:25.700><c> and</c><00:31:25.859><c> I</c><00:31:26.019><c> will</c><00:31:26.299><c> overcome.</c>

00:31:27.680 --> 00:31:30.220
By<00:31:27.980><c> developed</c><00:31:28.640><c> conscience.</c>

00:31:31.859 --> 00:31:36.119
Let<00:31:32.019><c> Brother</c><00:31:32.359><c> Sargent</c><00:31:33.400><c> comment</c><00:31:33.960><c> on</c><00:31:34.160><c> this</c><00:31:34.700><c> so</c><00:31:35.019><c> you</c><00:31:35.140><c> can</c><00:31:35.259><c> see</c><00:31:35.319><c> that</c><00:31:35.519><c> it's</c><00:31:35.519><c> just</c><00:31:35.779><c> not</c><00:31:35.940><c> my</c>

00:31:36.119 --> 00:31:37.279

00:31:38.759 --> 00:31:43.140
He<00:31:38.900><c> says,</c><00:31:39.299><c> for</c><00:31:39.339><c> whatever</c><00:31:39.900><c> view</c><00:31:40.339><c> may</c><00:31:40.599><c> be</c><00:31:40.779><c> taken</c><00:31:41.099><c> of</c><00:31:41.279><c> some</c><00:31:41.599><c> question</c><00:31:41.940><c> surrounding</c><00:31:42.319><c> the</c><00:31:42.579><c> temptation,</c>

00:31:43.259 --> 00:31:44.519
one<00:31:43.519><c> thing</c><00:31:43.740><c> is</c><00:31:43.920><c> fundamental.</c>

00:31:44.519 --> 00:31:48.259
He<00:31:45.140><c> was</c><00:31:45.740><c> tempted.</c><00:31:46.480><c> He's</c><00:31:46.559><c> quoting</c><00:31:46.799><c> of</c><00:31:47.019><c> course</c><00:31:47.140><c> from</c><00:31:47.339><c> Hebrews.</c>

00:31:48.640 --> 00:31:51.660
He<00:31:48.640><c> knew</c><00:31:48.960><c> temptation</c><00:31:49.519><c> as</c><00:31:49.759><c> a</c><00:31:49.960><c> fact</c><00:31:50.200><c> and</c><00:31:50.599><c> conquered</c><00:31:50.859><c> it</c><00:31:51.180><c> in</c><00:31:51.420><c> the</c>

00:31:52.480 --> 00:31:55.119
And<00:31:52.640><c> this</c><00:31:52.839><c> was</c><00:31:53.140><c> part</c><00:31:53.480><c> of</c><00:31:53.619><c> the</c><00:31:53.920><c> experience</c><00:31:54.299><c> by</c><00:31:54.500><c> which</c><00:31:54.660><c> he</c><00:31:54.819><c> was</c>

through<00:31:59.519><c> him.</c>

00:32:00.660 --> 00:32:04.779
As<00:32:00.859><c> he</c><00:32:01.059><c> tasted</c><00:32:01.299><c> of</c><00:32:01.559><c> death</c><00:32:01.759><c> for</c><00:32:02.019><c> every</c><00:32:02.240><c> man,</c><00:32:02.799><c> so</c><00:32:03.019><c> also</c><00:32:03.299><c> he</c><00:32:03.539><c> tasted</c><00:32:03.839><c> of</c><00:32:04.119><c> temptation.</c>

00:32:04.799 --> 00:32:09.240
And<00:32:05.140><c> as</c><00:32:05.640><c> through</c><00:32:05.980><c> death</c><00:32:06.279><c> he</c><00:32:06.539><c> obtained</c><00:32:06.900><c> an</c><00:32:07.119><c> eternal</c><00:32:07.380><c> redemption</c><00:32:08.000><c> for</c><00:32:08.619><c> himself</c><00:32:09.059><c> that</c>

00:32:24.559 --> 00:32:28.400
He<00:32:24.880><c> obtained</c><00:32:25.119><c> an</c><00:32:25.380><c> eternal</c><00:32:25.660><c> redemption</c><00:32:26.200><c> for</c><00:32:26.599><c> himself</c><00:32:27.420><c> that</c><00:32:28.180><c> it</c>

00:32:31.400 --> 00:32:35.019
There's<00:32:31.640><c> no</c><00:32:31.839><c> doubt</c><00:32:32.059><c> that</c><00:32:32.299><c> the</c><00:32:32.460><c> Lord</c><00:32:32.839><c> had</c><00:32:33.539><c> to</c><00:32:33.759><c> have</c><00:32:33.880><c> these</c><00:32:34.220><c> things</c><00:32:34.440><c> come</c>

00:32:40.059 --> 00:32:43.240
By<00:32:40.680><c> the</c><00:32:40.920><c> power</c><00:32:41.299><c> of</c><00:32:41.619><c> the</c><00:32:41.700><c> word</c><00:32:41.880><c> of</c><00:32:42.019><c> God.</c>

00:32:43.400 --> 00:32:47.039
So<00:32:43.400><c> let's</c><00:32:43.539><c> come</c><00:32:43.799><c> back</c><00:32:44.000><c> then</c><00:32:44.240><c> to</c><00:32:44.319><c> Matthew</c><00:32:44.700><c> 5</c><00:32:45.599><c> and</c><00:32:46.420><c> have</c><00:32:46.579><c> a</c><00:32:46.660><c> bit</c><00:32:46.700><c> of</c><00:32:46.980><c> a</c>

00:32:48.799 --> 00:32:51.859
I<00:32:48.799><c> plucked</c><00:32:49.619><c> and</c><00:32:49.940><c> hand</c><00:32:50.480><c> cut</c><00:32:50.859><c> off.</c>

00:34:32.260 --> 00:34:34.360
That's<00:34:32.559><c> when</c><00:34:32.679><c> it</c><00:34:32.840><c> becomes</c><00:34:33.199><c> adultery.</c>

00:34:35.579 --> 00:34:36.699
All<00:34:35.579><c> right?</c>

00:34:37.500 --> 00:34:38.719
I<00:34:37.579><c> need</c><00:34:37.579><c> to</c><00:34:37.679><c> be</c><00:34:37.860><c> clear</c><00:34:38.119><c> about</c><00:34:38.400><c> that.</c>

00:34:38.719 --> 00:34:45.619
As<00:34:38.840><c> I</c><00:34:39.039><c> said,</c><00:34:40.260><c> I'm</c><00:34:40.460><c> conscious</c><00:34:41.159><c> of</c><00:34:41.699><c> some</c><00:34:42.000><c> people</c><00:34:42.340><c> who</c><00:34:42.519><c> have</c><00:34:42.679><c> taken</c><00:34:42.900><c> drastic</c><00:34:43.420><c> action,</c><00:34:45.039><c> but</c>

00:34:45.619 --> 00:34:48.380

00:34:50.400 --> 00:34:52.679

00:34:53.019 --> 00:34:56.139
It<00:34:53.139><c> cannot</c><00:34:53.380><c> be</c><00:34:53.639><c> literal,</c><00:34:53.880><c> of</c><00:34:54.039><c> course,</c><00:34:55.039><c> but</c><00:34:55.179><c> demonstrates</c><00:34:55.739><c> the</c>

00:34:56.139 --> 00:34:58.059
seriousness<00:34:56.579><c> of</c><00:34:56.840><c> the</c><00:34:56.980><c> problem.</c>

So<00:35:05.019><c> radical</c><00:35:05.300><c> action</c><00:35:05.639><c> is</c><00:35:05.880><c> required</c><00:35:06.420><c> to</c><00:35:06.739><c> overcome</c><00:35:07.159><c> besetting</c><00:35:07.800><c> sin.</c>

Too<00:36:48.860><c> bad.</c>

00:36:52.340 --> 00:36:54.179
That's<00:36:52.900><c> what</c><00:36:53.019><c> he</c><00:36:53.179><c> means.</c>

00:36:55.260 --> 00:36:58.860

00:37:01.760 --> 00:37:04.679

No.

00:38:06.260 --> 00:38:10.340
You're<00:38:06.260><c> not</c><00:38:07.639><c> thinking</c><00:38:07.800><c> about</c><00:38:08.119><c> stealing</c><00:38:08.440><c> anything,</c><00:38:08.699><c> are</c><00:38:08.920><c> you?</c>

00:38:16.179 --> 00:38:18.679
That<00:38:16.320><c> applies</c><00:38:16.780><c> equally</c><00:38:17.179><c> to</c><00:38:17.360><c> this</c><00:38:17.559><c> matter</c><00:38:17.820><c> of</c><00:38:18.039><c> adultery</c><00:38:18.480><c> in</c>

00:38:34.239 --> 00:38:37.719
There<00:38:34.679><c> are</c><00:38:34.960><c> always</c><00:38:35.280><c> some</c><00:38:35.559><c> who</c><00:38:35.760><c> seem</c><00:38:35.960><c> to</c><00:38:36.159><c> think</c><00:38:36.400><c> that</c><00:38:36.619><c> righteousness</c><00:38:37.019><c> consists</c>

00:45:08.480 --> 00:45:10.860
Why<00:45:08.760><c> would</c><00:45:08.900><c> you</c><00:45:09.059><c> want</c><00:45:09.159><c> to</c><00:45:09.500><c> apply</c><00:45:09.760><c> an</c><00:45:10.019><c> acceptive</c><00:45:10.500><c> clause</c>

00:45:37.119 --> 00:45:38.739
This<00:45:37.380><c> is</c><00:45:37.579><c> his</c><00:45:37.840><c> point.</c>

00:45:39.000 --> 00:45:42.360
It's<00:45:39.159><c> about</c><00:45:39.320><c> what</c><00:45:39.480><c> they're</c><00:45:39.760><c> doing</c><00:45:40.119><c> to</c><00:45:40.320><c> the</c><00:45:40.519><c> dismissed</c><00:45:41.059><c> wife.</c>

committeth<00:45:48.559><c> adultery.</c>

00:45:49.699 --> 00:45:51.440
So<00:45:49.860><c> let's</c><00:45:50.079><c> just</c><00:45:50.360><c> say</c><00:45:50.480><c> this</c><00:45:50.679><c> is</c><00:45:50.880><c> an</c><00:45:51.119><c> exception.</c>

00:45:51.860 --> 00:45:55.760
You<00:45:51.940><c> know</c><00:45:52.019><c> that</c><00:45:52.179><c> word</c><00:45:52.460><c> there,</c><00:45:53.619><c> saving</c><00:45:53.800><c> for</c><00:45:54.380><c> in</c><00:45:54.719><c> the</c><00:45:55.000><c> Greek,</c>

00:45:58.880 --> 00:46:02.440
And<00:45:59.119><c> parektos</c><00:45:59.840><c> literally</c><00:46:00.300><c> means</c><00:46:00.800><c> apart</c><00:46:01.579><c> from.</c>

00:46:02.960 --> 00:46:04.840
Let's<00:46:03.300><c> read</c><00:46:03.480><c> it</c><00:46:03.619><c> that</c><00:46:03.860><c> way.</c>

00:46:05.019 --> 00:46:08.079
Whosoever<00:46:05.260><c> shall</c><00:46:05.400><c> put</c><00:46:05.599><c> away</c><00:46:05.840><c> his</c><00:46:06.139><c> wife</c><00:46:06.440><c> apart</c><00:46:07.099><c> from</c><00:46:07.500><c> the</c><00:46:07.840><c> cause,</c>

00:46:08.159 --> 00:46:10.119
that<00:46:08.320><c> word</c><00:46:08.579><c> cause</c><00:46:08.780><c> by</c><00:46:08.940><c> the</c><00:46:09.059><c> way</c><00:46:09.159><c> is</c><00:46:09.360><c> logos,</c>

00:46:10.280 --> 00:46:13.119
apart<00:46:10.820><c> from</c><00:46:11.159><c> the</c><00:46:11.260><c> cause</c><00:46:11.880><c> of</c><00:46:12.159><c> fornication,</c>

00:46:13.659 --> 00:46:15.190

00:46:15.460 --> 00:46:17.440
So<00:46:15.599><c> this</c><00:46:15.800><c> is</c><00:46:16.019><c> an</c><00:46:16.179><c> exception.</c>

00:46:17.739 --> 00:46:19.840
Well<00:46:17.960><c> then</c><00:46:18.059><c> it's</c><00:46:18.280><c> like</c><00:46:18.559><c> a</c><00:46:18.719><c> parenthesis,</c><00:46:19.280><c> isn't</c><00:46:19.460><c> it?</c>

00:46:20.099 --> 00:46:23.679
There's<00:46:20.320><c> one</c><00:46:20.559><c> reason</c><00:46:21.059><c> that</c><00:46:21.380><c> you</c><00:46:21.760><c> will</c><00:46:21.960><c> not</c><00:46:22.139><c> be</c><00:46:22.360><c> guilty</c><00:46:22.780><c> of</c><00:46:23.199><c> causing</c><00:46:23.480><c> her</c>

00:46:25.139 --> 00:46:26.780
So<00:46:25.239><c> let's</c><00:46:25.420><c> drop</c><00:46:25.639><c> it</c><00:46:25.860><c> out.</c>

00:46:27.139 --> 00:46:29.500
Let's<00:46:27.380><c> just</c><00:46:27.860><c> leave</c><00:46:28.239><c> it</c><00:46:28.460><c> out.</c>

00:46:29.880 --> 00:46:33.539
Let's<00:46:30.139><c> read</c><00:46:30.360><c> it</c><00:46:30.519><c> without</c><00:46:30.860><c> that</c><00:46:31.639><c> so</c><00:46:32.019><c>-called</c><00:46:32.320><c> exception.</c>

00:46:34.179 --> 00:46:37.519
But<00:46:34.820><c> whosoever</c><00:46:35.320><c> shall</c><00:46:35.500><c> put</c><00:46:35.739><c> away</c><00:46:36.000><c> his</c><00:46:36.360><c> wife,</c>

00:46:37.960 --> 00:46:40.900

committeth<00:46:46.579><c> adultery.</c>

00:46:47.739 --> 00:46:52.079
In<00:46:47.960><c> those</c><00:46:48.239><c> times,</c><00:46:48.980><c> banishing</c><00:46:49.280><c> a</c><00:46:49.519><c> wife</c><00:46:49.840><c> virtually</c><00:46:50.659><c> condemned</c><00:46:51.480><c> her</c>

00:47:14.440 --> 00:47:20.380
A<00:47:14.599><c> woman</c><00:47:15.099><c> would</c><00:47:16.000><c> have</c><00:47:16.219><c> to</c><00:47:16.400><c> marry</c><00:47:16.739><c> someone</c><00:47:17.119><c> else</c><00:47:17.780><c> for</c><00:47:18.480><c> mere</c><00:47:19.059><c> survival.</c>

00:47:21.280 --> 00:47:22.679
And<00:47:21.480><c> so</c><00:47:21.800><c> the</c><00:47:22.000><c> Lord</c><00:47:22.159><c> is</c><00:47:22.420><c> saying,</c>

you<00:47:23.420><c> Pharisees</c><00:47:24.300><c> who</c><00:47:24.500><c> are</c><00:47:24.760><c> following</c><00:47:25.079><c> the</c><00:47:25.440><c> school</c><00:47:25.679><c> of</c><00:47:25.960><c> Hillel</c>

00:47:26.260 --> 00:47:27.139
in<00:47:26.539><c> particular,</c>

00:47:27.440 --> 00:47:28.619
but<00:47:27.599><c> also</c><00:47:28.019><c> Shammai,</c>

00:47:28.619 --> 00:47:34.659
when<00:47:29.559><c> you</c><00:47:29.860><c> put</c><00:47:30.119><c> away</c><00:47:30.420><c> your</c><00:47:30.760><c> wife,</c><00:47:33.039><c> cause</c><00:47:33.139><c> her</c><00:47:34.059><c> to</c><00:47:34.659><c> commit,</c>

00:47:34.659 --> 00:47:39.019
you're<00:47:35.099><c> pushing</c><00:47:35.500><c> her</c><00:47:36.800><c> into</c><00:47:37.480><c> adultery.</c>

00:47:39.960 --> 00:47:41.320
And<00:47:40.079><c> moreover,</c><00:47:40.340><c> when</c><00:47:40.500><c> she</c><00:47:40.739><c> marries,</c>

00:47:41.619 --> 00:47:44.280
the<00:47:41.619><c> person</c><00:47:41.980><c> who</c><00:47:42.260><c> marries</c><00:47:42.579><c> her</c><00:47:42.820><c> commits</c><00:47:43.119><c> adultery.</c>

00:47:44.619 --> 00:47:47.760
So<00:47:44.780><c> you've</c><00:47:45.019><c> got</c><00:47:45.199><c> two</c><00:47:45.500><c> people</c><00:47:46.300><c> at</c><00:47:46.539><c> least</c><00:47:47.019><c> involved.</c>

00:47:47.940 --> 00:47:50.280
And<00:47:48.079><c> when</c><00:47:48.239><c> you</c><00:47:48.420><c> add</c><00:47:48.559><c> yourself,</c><00:47:49.139><c> because</c><00:47:49.400><c> you're</c><00:47:49.659><c> going</c><00:47:49.800><c> to</c><00:47:49.920><c> remarry,</c>

00:47:50.360 --> 00:47:56.280
you've<00:47:50.480><c> got</c><00:47:50.659><c> four</c><00:47:50.980><c> people</c><00:47:52.260><c> guilty</c><00:47:53.940><c> of</c><00:47:55.119><c> adultery.</c>

00:47:58.119 --> 00:48:01.440
Christ's<00:47:58.679><c> teaching</c><00:47:58.760><c> on</c><00:47:58.960><c> divorce</c><00:47:59.239><c> is</c><00:47:59.460><c> pretty</c><00:47:59.659><c> simple,</c><00:48:00.139><c> brothers</c><00:48:00.260><c> and</c><00:48:00.340><c> sisters.</c>

00:48:01.659 --> 00:48:03.900
The<00:48:01.679><c> only</c><00:48:01.980><c> escape</c><00:48:02.380><c> from</c><00:48:02.679><c> culpability</c><00:48:03.280><c> for</c><00:48:03.480><c> creating</c>

00:48:03.900 --> 00:48:04.980
multiple<00:48:04.440><c> adulteries</c>

00:48:04.980 --> 00:48:06.519
is<00:48:05.159><c> if</c><00:48:05.280><c> the</c><00:48:05.420><c> wife</c><00:48:05.579><c> has</c><00:48:05.780><c> already</c><00:48:06.079><c> committed</c><00:48:06.360><c> it.</c>

00:48:06.559 --> 00:48:13.019
And<00:48:06.639><c> that's</c><00:48:06.760><c> what</c><00:48:06.840><c> he</c><00:48:06.980><c> means</c><00:48:07.380><c> by</c><00:48:08.599><c> apart</c><00:48:09.719><c> from</c><00:48:10.980><c> the</c><00:48:11.360><c> cause</c><00:48:12.019><c> of</c><00:48:12.739><c> fornication.</c>

00:48:13.400 --> 00:48:15.260
If<00:48:13.480><c> she's</c><00:48:13.760><c> already</c><00:48:14.119><c> gone</c><00:48:14.420><c> and</c><00:48:14.659><c> committed</c><00:48:14.880><c> it,</c>

00:48:15.480 --> 00:48:19.619
well,<00:48:15.539><c> you're</c><00:48:15.719><c> not</c><00:48:15.940><c> pushing</c><00:48:16.260><c> her</c><00:48:16.500><c> into</c><00:48:16.699><c> it.</c>

00:48:19.840 --> 00:48:22.440
Nowhere<00:48:20.119><c> does</c><00:48:20.340><c> Christ</c><00:48:20.619><c> give</c><00:48:20.840><c> permission</c><00:48:21.400><c> for</c><00:48:21.760><c> remarriage.</c>

00:48:22.440 --> 00:48:25.019
Now<00:48:23.539><c> in</c><00:48:23.679><c> the</c><00:48:23.820><c> other</c><00:48:24.059><c> parts</c><00:48:24.420><c> of</c><00:48:24.619><c> the</c><00:48:24.760><c> scripture,</c>

00:48:30.980 --> 00:48:33.840
it's<00:48:31.260><c> very,</c><00:48:31.619><c> very</c><00:48:32.000><c> clear</c><00:48:32.159><c> they</c><00:48:32.340><c> are</c><00:48:32.719><c> unequivocal.</c>

00:48:34.059 --> 00:48:35.699
There<00:48:34.239><c> are</c><00:48:34.619><c> no</c><00:48:35.059><c> exceptions.</c>

00:48:36.199 --> 00:48:37.739
And<00:48:36.340><c> in</c><00:48:36.579><c> fact,</c><00:48:36.880><c> in</c><00:48:36.960><c> Matthew</c><00:48:37.300><c> 19,</c>

00:48:37.800 --> 00:48:40.860
where<00:48:37.960><c> the</c><00:48:38.179><c> other</c><00:48:38.420><c> so</c><00:48:38.719><c>-called</c><00:48:38.920><c> exceptive</c><00:48:39.539><c> clause</c><00:48:39.760><c> occurs,</c>

the<00:48:41.559><c> disciples,</c><00:48:42.059><c> when</c><00:48:42.260><c> they</c><00:48:42.579><c> heard</c><00:48:42.860><c> his</c><00:48:43.239><c> words,</c><00:48:43.699><c> said</c><00:48:44.039><c> this.</c>

00:48:45.539 --> 00:48:46.599
This<00:48:45.739><c> was</c><00:48:45.980><c> their</c><00:48:46.219><c> summary.</c>

00:48:46.739 --> 00:48:50.219
Now<00:48:46.880><c> they</c><00:48:46.980><c> weren't</c><00:48:47.340><c> dills,</c><00:48:49.900><c> were</c><00:48:50.079><c> they?</c>

00:48:50.219 --> 00:48:51.920
They<00:48:50.380><c> weren't</c><00:48:50.619><c> idiots.</c>

00:48:54.800 --> 00:48:55.940
When<00:48:54.880><c> the</c><00:48:55.059><c> Lord</c><00:48:55.380><c> spelled</c><00:48:55.760><c> out,</c>

00:49:04.539 --> 00:49:07.079
It'd<00:49:04.739><c> be</c><00:49:04.739><c> better</c><00:49:04.840><c> we</c><00:49:05.019><c> don't</c><00:49:05.320><c> marry</c><00:49:05.539><c> at</c><00:49:05.860><c> all</c>

00:49:11.159 --> 00:49:13.420
Because<00:49:11.300><c> that's</c><00:49:11.659><c> clearly</c><00:49:11.880><c> what</c><00:49:12.119><c> he</c><00:49:12.300><c> meant.</c>

00:49:16.480 --> 00:49:20.480

00:49:37.059 --> 00:49:40.420
He's<00:49:37.199><c> just</c><00:49:37.340><c> been</c><00:49:37.500><c> talking</c><00:49:37.760><c> about</c><00:49:38.199><c> marriage</c><00:49:38.940><c> covenants.</c>
